Authors: Mukha B. B.
Published: June 2023

Environlogic literature content a little information on economic development of the Black Sea nearcoast territories in XIX century. After conquests of the Black Sea nearest dry steppes by Russia from Turkish Empire, colonization of new lands and resources appeared necessity from beginning of XIX century. From 1764 new post-Turkish lands were named official as Novorussia Province (capital was Odessa). Novorussian territories consumed by different resources for accustom, and firstly acute need was in water, food, mineral, fuel etc. Regional Novorussian Governor Prince Michael Vorontsov decided that coal is most priority of all for development of transport, plants, sea ports, towns, villages in natural conditions of dry, opened, cold and without any woods steppe plain. Rich coal deposits were discovered in Don River basin (to-day this territory is «Donbass»). The coal mining and distribution activized of economic evolution of Novorussian territory. By the way, decisive significance was state and economic activity by Prince Michael S. Vorontsov (Governor during 1823-1856).
CHANGES IN THE WORLD OCEAN AVERAGE DEPTH AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE COMPLETION OF THE WÜRM GLACIATION
Authors: Shuisky Yu. D. , Holoptsev A. V.
Published: June 2023

The developed hypothesis suggests that the cause of the completion of the Wurm glaciation were the tectonic processes resulting in the decrease of the average depth of the World Ocean and the corresponding increase in its level. The latter turned the better part of the ice sheets in Europe and North America into the ice shelf, that caused their separation from the bed and the massive destruction by waves.A significant extension of the free water surface area led to the rise of the intensity of heat and mass transfer between the oceans and the atmosphere and the growth of its water vapor content. As a result, the greenhouse effect increased and the average temperatures in the troposphere rose as well.A substantial decrease of the cryosphere area in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet also led to the massive reduction of its mean albedo. All this resulted in the climate warming in the regions of our planet not only on the coasts of the oceans but also within the continents, melting glaciers located therein, overflow of the periglacial lakes with melt water and their breakthroughs into the oceans (“glacial flood” by Hancock).

PROBLEMS OF STATE AND REGIONAL DEMOGRAPHIC POLICY IN UKRAINE
Authors: Yavorskaya V. V.
Published: June 2023

The problems of formation of regional policy and stages of formation and growth of geodemography as modern scientific field of population geography were reviewed in details in the article. In the first stage, a central place in the system of knowledge of the population belongs to the demographics. The second stage are increased by interaction of demography with other sciences, including geography. At their junction, a new discipline – population geography. In the third stage are forming the new direction of population geography –geodemography which orientated to the study of regional differences of population and resettlement and development of a regional demographic policy.The basic concepts of the new trend are geodemography development, geodemographic situation, geodemographic processes regional, settlement system, demoreproductive – territorial complexes, demographic policy. We have presented a methodological scheme formation of geodemography as a new trend in the sciences of the population in the following order: Demography – Population Geography – Geodemography. It is clear that geodemography has a substantive methodological overlap with demography, geography of population. In certain domain of geodemography can be accented and dominated certain aspects of its components - demography and population geography. On the one hand, geodemography are considered as a separate section of population geography (S.A. Kovalev et al.). Geodemography situation is defined within of population geography as “historically established in a particular area relationship between aggregate of demographic processes and structures of the socio-economic conditions and factors.” On the other hand, geodemography is considered as a special area of socio-economic geography (A. A. Anokhin, G.M. Fedorov et al.). And geodemographic situation involves a spatially defined demographic system along with its relationship to other regional socio-economic systems. The third approach stands in demographic studies. Geodemography is considered as part of demographic and geodemographic situation as existed at the area ratio of fertility, mortality, migration, what creating a defined population structure and dynamics of its population. The prefix “geo”, in our opinion, in this case shows only the territorial aspect of demography and demographic processes that have casual, insignificant character.

GENUS DIDACNA MOLLUSCS — BIOSTRATIGRAPHICAL BASIS OF CORRELATION OF THE PONTO-CASPIAN NEOPLEISTOCENE EVENTS
Authors: Yanina T. A. , Khomchenko D. S.
Published: June 2023

The mollusks of the genus Didacna Eichwald playing a key role in stratigraphical and paleogeographical reconstructions for the Caspian Sea are used by authors for the same purposes in the Black Sea region and in the Manych depression. The work purpose is the drawing up the regional biostratigraphical schemes of the Caspian, Pont and Manych Neopleistocene on the basis of the analysis of spatial and temporary distribution of species of one genus Didacna and correlation of events of the Ponto-Caspian Seas on this biostratigraphical base. The object of research is the Neopleistocene deposits and the mollusks of the Caspian and Black Sea regions. The subject of research is the spatial-temporal distribution of mollusk shells of the genus Didacna as a basis of correlation of the basins of the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea in the Neopleistocene. The use of species of one genus for the creation of three regional biostratigraphical schemes is a basis for correlation of deposits and events of the Pont and the Caspian Sea. The material is collected by authors for many years of field and laboratory studying of Neopleistocene deposits and malacofauna of the PontoCaspian region. Researches captured all coasts and a number of sea cores of the Caspian Sea, the Manych depression, Taman and Kerch peninsulas, the coast and a shelf of Bulgaria, partially the Caucasian coast of the Black Sea. The main method is malacofaunistic method. It includes the analyses of taxonomical structure, taphonomy, phylogeny, biostratigraphical distribution, historical development, and biogeography of mollusks. The study focuses on the bivalve genus Didacna, an indexefossil genus for the modern Caspian Sea and an endemic fossil for the Quaternary Ponto-Caspian basins. The genus is known for its high evolutionary rates at the species and subspecies levels. The study of peculiarities and patterns in the spatial-temporal distribution of mollusk shells of the genus Didacna in the deposits of the Neoleistocene of the Ponto-Caspian region showed, that the molluscan fauna represent a complex hierarchical system of faunal assemblages with different taxonomic composition and at different taxonomic levels: faunas, complexes, subcomplexes, which become the basis for establishment of stratigraphical subdivision and paleogeographical reconstructions. On the basis of the biostratigraphical position of the Caspian Didacnas in the Manych and Pont Neopleistocene the correlation of the late Bakinian transgressive stage of the Caspian Sea with a late Chaudian transgressive stage of the Pont is established; two stages of early Khazarian transgression of the Caspian Sea are correlated with two Euxinian – Uzunlarian basins of the Pont; the Girkanian transgressive basin of the Caspian Sea is correlated with the second half of the Karangat transgression of the Pont; early Khvalynian transgressive stage of the Caspian Sea is correlated with Pontian New Euxinian transgression.

Authors: Luschik A. V. , Shvyrlo N. I.
Published: June 2023

In the Crimean seismically active region’s urban population is over 65 %. All large cities, sanatorium-resort centers are located in 7 – 8 magnitude seismic zones. Therefore, the forecasting of earthquakes on the basis of the system seismogeological monitoring is so important.In the intensively cultivated regions, underground waters are the main source of water supply. Water selection violates the natural conditions of formation of water and there are problems in identifying precursors of earthquakes. Therefore, the goal of research is selection of aquifers, individual sections within them, with undisturbed regime, the rationale of hydrogeological parameters for forecasting earthquakes. The goal led to the methodology works. In the first phase were selected promising areas within the artesian aquifers that meet the requirements for ensuring the purity of the obtained information (no factors which violate the regime of underground waters) and made seismogeological zoning. In the second stage the organization of observation points and selection of optimal parameters was performed. The third main stage, observations of variations of selected parameters (level of groundwater, physical-chemical, hydro-geochemical) was produced in a continuous and discrete-continuous modes. Analysis of the obtained data was performed with the help of special computer programs. Before earthquakes periods we distinguished violations correlation between the level pressure water and atmospheric pressure, duration 2 -18 days, depending on magnitude and distance from the epicenter observation wells. Confirmation of the effectiveness of the method is the measure of the probability of earthquakes (53 % – 71 %). Indicators of the implementation of transition of the redox potential from negative to positive for 1 – 2 days before the earthquake reached 95 %. Conclusions:– Rapidly react to changes of the stressed state of the rocks photometrically level, redox potential, chlorine-ion and helium.– Abnormal violations of variations in the groundwater level and of sign changes in the redox potential in preparation of earthquakes, due to local significant earthquakes in the Crimean seismically active region, that are medium-short-term precursors of earthquakes.

AbstractThe scope of the paper is to show the significance of field training practices in preparation of the specialists in Geology and possible ways of their organization and fulfillment on a high quality level.The object – is the preparation system of students of Geological specialties. The subject of the paper is training field geological practices.The field geological practices in Odessa University have been carried out for more than 100 years. At the moment teaching stuff of the Physical and Marine Geology Department is entirely responsible for implementation of these practices. The aim of the practices is consolidation of knowledge which were obtained by students during studying of theoretical material, acquisition of experience of field investigation, maintenance of geological documentation, gaining of work experience in a team and development of skills to work within a collective. The practice comprises important elements of research work.In methodological basement of training practice lies the principle of modeling of work in real geological survey. The students undergo all the stages of geological survey, i. e. preparation, field stage and laboratory work. Concluding stage of the work is acceptance of field materials, compilation of final geological report with a set of geological maps, construction of final geological maps of the study area, presentation of the report of each team in front of commission which consists of a teaching stuff.The most efficient way to fulfill training practices is on the stationary basis due to close and prolonged interaction between teaching stuff and students, organized infrastructure, possibility of joint work with teachers in the field and as well in laboratories and ensuring of required safety techniques. Usage of stationary basis for field practices is economically sound.The program of training geological practices is elaborated successively for each year of education. As the result of field training geological practices students are able to work independently, make own conclusions concerning geological questions. In addition, students acquire important experience of team work and unforgettable impressions about a field season.Field training geological practices are indispensable during profession preparation of students and formation of their geological world-view. Preparation of qualified specialists in geology, of high quality, without field training practices is impossible.

Authors: Kolomiyets K. V.
Published: June 2023

Ukrainian Black Sea region, consisting of Odessa, Mykolayiv and Kherson regions is characterized by uneven socio-economic development, which is displayed in many economic indicators within the region. Therefore, the definition and analysis of the «center-periphery» Ukrainian Black Sea region, the distribution function of its constituent elements is the actual problem, the solution of which contributes to a better understanding of the structural and functional characteristics of the region, its territorial organization and the prospects for development in the context of regional policy. Imbalance between center and periphery in the Ukrainian Black Sea region is a result of historical, rasselencheskih, demographic, economic and other reasons. And functions of the center does not perform any particular locality, as it is in other regions of Ukraine, and the entire Сoastal zone. Occupying just over a third of the total area of the region, the Coastal zone accumulates two-thirds of the region’s population. Here fixed all powerful technical infrastructure, maritime complex, research potential, recreation and wellness resources and large-scale economic activity which is oriented on export-import operation. At the same time, a huge area of periphery, performing mainly agricultural, energy production and environmental functions, differs very low demographic and socio-economic indicators, which each year only worsen. Exceptions are Pervomais’k, Yuzhnoukrayinsk, Voznesensk in the north of Mykolayiv region and the cities of Kherson region, functioning on the basis of Kakhovkiy hydrologic unit – Novaya Kakhovka, Tavriysk, Berislav that could potentially have a positive impact on the depressed regions. Summing up, we can say that without a clear strategy for socio-economic development of the region, which would take into account all the features of center-periphery relations, the imbalance between them will only get worse.

Authors: Maryschinets A.
Published: June 2023

Purpose. The aim of the research is to determine the nature and the content of social and political factors of transformation in agrarian sphere of Ukraine. The present study supports agriculture, the subject of social and political factors of transformation in agrarian sphere, such as land reform and institutional transformation.
Methodology. The methodology of the research is based on the usage of methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, the unity of the historical and logical comparisons, mathematical, statistical and cartographic methods.
Finding. The core and the foundation of socio-political factors of transformation in agrarian sphere is considered the agrarian reform. Under the agrarian reform, we understand – a set of measures aimed at restructuring land relations, ownership of land and property as a result of transition from planned to market-economic system. In Ukraine, the agrarian reform was developed in two stages: preparatory – until December 1999 (when the Decree of President of Ukraine dated 3 December 1999 «On urgent measures to accelerate the reform of the agricultural sector» was established); second – radical in 1999. During the agrarian reform the farmers became the owners of the land. Three basic forms of management were established– private households, farms, farms of market type. In the process of institutional transformation in agrarian sphere state and collective farms virtually disappeared, but new private farms, cooperatives, limited liability companies, joined stock companies, private households appeared. The territorial structure of agricultural production was also transformed.
Results. Among the factors of transformation in the agrarian sphere of Ukraine, sociopolitical factors are undoubtedly one of the most important. In the process of transformation the separate model of agrarian reform has been created, the agrarian reform included several stages, a new institutional system based on private ownership was created.

Published: June 2023

Purpose. The goal of this work is to study the properties of structurally heterogeneous geological mediums by the example of Meotian sediments which form landslide areas of the Odessa coast.
Methodology. Acoustic properties of Meotian sediments were investigated in laboratory conditions by sounding of selected samples by ultrasonic pulses at different frequencies.
Finding. The results of researches of physical-mechanical and acoustic properties of the samples of Meotian sediments at various depths of occurrence are given. A good co-ordination between the results of sounding rocks and their physical and mechanical properties with the results of theoretical studies of the frequency dependence of the sound velocity and absorption coefficient in heterogeneous media was obtained. The revealed anomalies have indicated that structural nonlinearities determine a character of propagation of the acoustic field in such media.
Results. On the basis of analysis of changes in kinematic and dynamic characteristics of elastic wave propagation in rocks, acoustic methods are considered as the most informative ones in engineering-geological practice and in geological survey too.
LATIN PROPER NAMES IN THE LANGUAGE AND CULTURE OF THE ANCIENT ROME
Authors: Petkova Gergana , Ivanova Vanya
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The fact that almost all contemporary European countries used to be part Roman Empire in the ancient past follows the question at what extend the culture and the way of living have affected the peoples in the different Provinces. Traces are observed in many layers – even in the field of onomastics and the patterns of naming.

The purpose of the present paper is to establish the main principles of formation of Roman personal name system, its structure and development.

Background and motivations. Most of the Latin names became extremely popular throughout the centuries due to the fact that they became canonized by the Church. As names of saints and martyrs and because of Christianity gaining popularity as a religion a lot of onyms, part of the Roman personal name system, enter other anthroponymicons. But being foreign their meaning in most of the cases remains unclear to the common people even today.

Methodology. The   main   methods   used   are   onomastic data excerption   and comparative analysis.

The expected results are related to describing the appearance and etymology of anthroponyms, Latin by origin, widely spread even today in contemporary European onomastycons.

Published: June 2023

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi receive photosynthetic products and sugars from plants in exchange for contributing to the uptake of minerals, especially phosphorus, from the soil. The identification of genes controlling AM symbiotic efficiency may have practical application in the creation of highly productive plant-microbe systems. The aim of our work was to evaluate the expression levels of SWEET sugar transporter genes, the only family in which sugar transporters specific to AM symbiosis can be detected. We have selected a unique “host plant–AM fungus” model system with high response to mycorrhization under medium phosphorus level. This includes a plant line which is highly responsive to inoculation by AM fungi, an ecologically obligate mycotrophic line MlS-1 from black medick (Medicago lupulina) and the AM fungus Rhizophagus irregularis strain RCAM00320, which has a high efficiency in a number of plant species. Using the selected model system, differences in the expression levels of 11 genes encoding SWEET transporters in the roots of the host plant were evaluated during the development of or in the absence of symbiosis of M. lupulina with R. irregularis at various stages of the host plant development in the presence of medium level of phosphorus available for plant nutrition in the substrate. At most stages of host plant development, mycorrhizal plants had higher expression levels of MlSWEET1b, MlSWEET3c, MlSWEET12 and MlSWEET13 compared to AM-less controls. Also, increased expression relative to control during mycorrhization was observed for MlSWEET11 at 2nd and 3rd leaf development stages, for MlSWEET15c at stemming (stooling) stage, for MlSWEET1a at 2nd leaf development, stemming and lateral branching stages. The MlSWEET1b gene can be confidently considered a good marker with specific expression for effective development of AM symbiosis between M. lupulina and R. irregularis in the presence of medium level of phosphorus available to plants in the substrate.

W poszukiwaniu harmonii istnienia. Studium porównawcze poezji Antonia Colinasa i Zbigniewa Herberta
Authors: Woźniak Maria Judyta
Published: June 2023

Wspólną cechą Antonia Colinasa i Zbigniewa Herberta, wyróżniającą ich spośród wielu poetów współczesnych, jest nadzieja na ukrytą obecność harmonii istnienia – stale i wyraziście obecna w ich poetyckim świecie, nawet jeśli nie zawsze wprost wyartykułowana. Istotą poszukiwań obu twórców jest konfrontacja świadomości współczesnego człowieka, nękanego poczuciem braku sensu i doświadczeniem fragmentaryczności świata, z utrwaloną w tradycji wiarą w możliwość odzyskania utraconych wartości. Rodzaj mitycznego myślenia nieustannie towarzyszy poetom, kiedy próbują zrozumieć różne wymiary rzeczywistości: naturę, kosmos, muzykę i nade wszystko poezję. Podobieństwa łączące Colinasa i Herberta są wyraźne i nie zacierają ich nawet różnice w ekspresji: porównawcza lektura ich poezji pozwala stworzyć interesujący dialog, w którym utwory liryczne niespodziewanie się uzupełniają lub ujawniają swą polemiczność. Podobnie jak fragmentarycznie odczytywana tradycja, tak i harmonia objawia się w poezji Antonia Colinasa i Zbigniewa Herberta jedynie momentalnie, nigdy pewnie i trwale. Hermeneutyczne czytanie nie narzuca wszakże jednoznaczności, nie wymaga prostowania pokrętnych dróg. Uświadamia natomiast jedność kultury, trwałość wątków myślowych oraz wspólnotę poszukiwań estetycznych, a nade wszystko – egzystencjalnych.

Background: Groundnut (Arachs hypogeae) is a prominent legume vegetable oil seed crop in India and it’s lower productivity is a matter of concern attributed to the major constraints of inefficient irrigation and nutrient management in rabi season. Fertigation is the recent innovative gearing up technology in which the nutrients are applied in précised quantity along with drip irrigation at regular intervals throughout the crop growth matching with their requirement, resulting in enhanced resource use efficiency and crop yields. Liquid formulations of biofertilizers can be diluted sufficiently and applied through drip irrigation uniformly to the root zone of crop. Humic acid is widely used as fertilizer synergist and hence in combination with inorganic fertilizers can enhance their use efficiency and improve root zone activity. The present experiment was conducted to develop an integrated nutrient management practice in combination of chemical fertilizers with organic sources i.e., co inoculation of liquid biofertilisers and humic acid under fertigation for rabi groundnut under fertigation. Methods: The experiment was comprised of seven treatments of integrated nutrient management practices viz., T1- Soil application of 100% RDF(30-40-50 kg N,P2O5 and K2O haˉ¹) + Drip irrigation ; T2- 75 % RDF + Liquid biofertilizers @ 3.75 l haˉ1 ; T3- 75% RDF + Humic acid @ 12.5 l haˉ1 ; T4- 50 % RDF + Liquid biofertilizers @ 3.75 l haˉ1 ; T5–50 % RDF + Humic acid @ 12.5 l haˉ1 ; T6- 100 % RDF + Liquid biofertilizers @ 3.75 l haˉ1 ; T7- 100 % RDF+Humic acid @ 12.5 l haˉ1 which were laid out in randomised block design with three replications. Result: The integrated nutrient management practice with application of 100% RDF (30-40-50 kg N,P2O5 and K2O) + Liquid biofertilizers @ 3.75 l ha-1 (Rhizobium, Phosphorus solubilising bacteria and Potassium solubilising bacteria each @ 1.25 l ha-1) through fertigation recorded tallest plants (49.9 cm), highest LAI(2.05), SCMR value(34.5), highest number of nodules plant -1(60.2), pods plant-1(11.2), 100 pod weight(125.7 g), kernel weight (52.9 g) which resulted in the highest pod (3902 kg ha-1), kernel (2666 kg ha-1), haulm yied (4363kg ha-1 ), higher nutrient uptake and net returns (Rs.130818 ha-1) of groundnut, which were comparable to 100% RDF + Humic acid @ 12.5l ha-1 . However 75% RDF + Liquid biofertilizers @ 3.75 l ha-1 through fertigation recorded growth and pod yield (3988 kg ha-1) of groundnut on par with the best treatment of 100% RDF + Liquid biofertilizers @ 3.75 l ha-1 with a saving of 25 per cent of RDF and net returns of (Rs.130818 ha-1) and higher B:C ratio (2.31).

This study wanted to describe the significant life experiences of ex-prisoners after being released from jail. The respondent of our study are the seven (7) ex-prisoners who were previously incarcerated in Butuan City Jail and Agusan Del Norte Provincial Jail and now live freely in the community. They have been identified based on the available data from Barangay 6, Nasipit, Agusan Del Norte. Applying qualitative research design through face-to-face interviews with the aid of an interview guide to seven respondents. Findings revealed that all respondents are male. There were seven respondents, of which seven of them had five married then, two single they have a problem of unemployment after their release. For years of sacrifices and loneliness inside the correctional institution, nothing compared to happiness experienced by ex-prisoners after their release from jail. However, going back to the community with such a notable previous record is quite challenging. The problems and challenges faced by ex-offenders find out how they cope with these challenges that lead to success. Also, they felt that the people do not fully trust them in the community where they reside except their family, so they keep doing things that can regain such trust.

Background: The school of nursing at the University of Wollongong developed an innovative approach entitled the ‘Students as Researchers Internship’ to provide an opportunity for students who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders to experience research as co-researchers. This programme was developed in response to a need to increase the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons who complete research degrees and progress to academic careers in nursing. The initial programme included two students who identified as Aboriginal women in their final year as bachelor of nursing students, with both employed as research assistants. Aim: This article aims to share the students’ perspective of their learnings from participating in the Students as Researchers Internship programme through a critical reflection using the Mezirow model of reflection. Conclusion: The opportunity to be a research assistant and co-researcher during the final year of the bachelor of nursing degree offered the students a platform to gain skills, and an understanding of the research process and the application of research in practice. It also provided the experience of being supported in their academic studies. Implications for practice: Mezirow’s model of reflection provides an effective framework for students to unearth their assumptions and learnings from experience Developing skills and experience in research can transform undergraduate students’ understanding of the application of research in their practice Participation in writing ethics applications and research publications offers students insight into the skills of referencing, academic writing and critical thinking The experience as co-researchers enabled students who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders to consider future career opportunities in research
