JUDGING 'PRIVILEGED' JEWS
Authors: Brown Adam
Published: May 2024

The Nazis’ persecution of the Jews during the Holocaust included the creation of prisoner hierarchies that forced victims to cooperate with their persecutors. Many in the camps and ghettos came to hold so-called “privileged” positions, and their behavior has often been judged as self-serving and harmful to fellow inmates. Such controversial figures constitute an intrinsically important, frequently misunderstood, and often taboo aspect of the Holocaust. Drawing on Primo Levi’s concept of the “grey zone,” this study analyzes the passing of moral judgment on “privileged” Jews as represented by writers, such as Raul Hilberg, and in films, including Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah and Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List. Negotiating the problems and potentialities of “representing the unrepresentable,” this book engages with issues that are fundamental to present-day attempts to understand the Holocaust and deeply relevant to reflections on human nature.
CHILDREN OF THE DICTATORSHIP
Authors: Kornetis Kostis
Published: May 2024

Putting Greece back on the cultural and political map of the “Long 1960s,” this book traces the dissent and activism of anti-regime students during the dictatorship of the Colonels (1967-74). It explores the cultural as well as ideological protest of Greek student activists, illustrating how these “children of the dictatorship” managed to re-appropriate indigenous folk tradition for their “progressive” purposes and how their transnational exchange molded a particular local protest culture. It examines how the students’ social and political practices became a major source of pressure on the Colonels’ regime, finding its apogee in the three day Polytechnic uprising of November 1973 which laid the foundations for a total reshaping of Greek political culture in the following decades.
THE LEGACIES OF A HAWAIIAN GENERATION
Authors: Schachter Judith
Published: May 2024

Through the voices and perspectives of the members of an extended Hawaiian family, or `ohana, this book tells the story of North American imperialism in Hawai`i from the Great Depression to the new millennium. The family members offer their versions of being “Native Hawaiian” in an American state, detailing the ways in which US laws, policies, and institutions made, and continue to make, an impact on their daily lives. The book traces the ways that Hawaiian values adapted to changing conditions under a Territorial regime and then after statehood. These conditions involved claims for land for Native Hawaiian Homesteads, education in American public schools, military service, and participation in the Hawaiian cultural renaissance. Based on fieldwork observations, kitchen table conversations, and talk-stories, or mo`olelo, this book is a unique blend of biography, history, and anthropological analysis.
THE MIND OF THE NATION
Authors: Klautke Egbert
Published: May 2024

Völkerpsychologie played an important role in establishing the social sciences via the works of such scholars as Georg Simmel, Emile Durkheim, Ernest Renan, Franz Boas, and Werner Sombart. In Germany, the intellectual history of “folk psychology” was represented by Moritz Lazarus, Heymann Steinthal, Wilhelm Wundt and Willy Hellpach. This book follows the invention of the discipline in the nineteenth century, its rise around the turn of the century and its ultimate demise after the Second World War. In addition, it shows that despite the repudiation of “folk psychology” and its failed institutionalization, the discipline remains relevant as a precursor of contemporary studies of “national identity.”
PERIPHERAL VISION
Authors: Frois Catarina
Published: May 2024

In Portugal between 2005 and 2010, “modernization through technology” was the major political motto used to develop and improve the country’s peripheral and backward condition. This study reflects on one of the resulting, specific aspects of this trend—the implementation of public video surveillance. The in-depth ethnography provides evidence of how the political construction of security and surveillance as a strategic program actually conceals intricate institutional relationships between political decision-makers and common citizens. Essentially, the detailed account of the major actors, as well as their roles and motivations, serves to explain phenomena such as the confusion between objective data and subjective perceptions or the lack of communication between parties, which as this study argues, underlies the idiosyncrasies and fragilities of Portugal’s still relatively young democratic system.
METALLIC MODERN
Authors: Wickramasinghe Nira
Published: May 2024

Everyday life in the Crown colony of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) was characterized by a direct encounter of people with modernity through the consumption and use of foreign machines – in particular, the Singer sewing machine, but also the gramophone, tramway, bicycle and varieties of industrial equipment. The ‘metallic modern’ of the 19th and early 20th century Ceylon encompassed multiple worlds of belonging and imagination; and enabled diverse conceptions of time to coexist through encounters with Siam, the United States and Japan as well as a new conception of urban space in Colombo. Metallic Modern describes the modern as it was lived and experienced by non-elite groups – tailors, seamstresses, shopkeepers, workers – and suggests that their idea of the modern was nurtured by a changing material world.
CREOLE IDENTITY IN POSTCOLONIAL INDONESIA
Authors: Knörr Jacqueline
Published: May 2024

Contributing to identity formation in ethnically and religiously diverse postcolonial societies, this book examines the role played by creole identity in Indonesia, and in particular its capital, Jakarta. While, on the one hand, it facilitates transethnic integration and promotes a specifically postcolonial sense of common nationhood due to its heterogeneous origins, creole groups of people are often perceived ambivalently in the wake of colonialism and its demise, on the other. In this book, Jacqueline Knörr analyzes the social, historical, and political contexts of creoleness both at the grassroots and the State level, showing how different sections of society engage with creole identity in order to promote collective identification transcending ethnic and religious boundaries, as well as for reasons of self-interest and ideological projects.
SOCIAL HISTORY OF GERMAN JEWS
Authors: Rürup Miriam
Published: May 2024

Tracing the social history of modern German Jews from the end of the 18th century up to the aftermath of World War II, Miriam Rürup follows their ascent into the middle and upper middle classes through repeated experiences of setbacks but also of self-assertion. In doing so it is explained how Jewish life changed under the auspices of emancipation and what impact these changes had on the demographic and social profile of the Jewish minority. With a focus on the daily interactions between Jews and other Germans when choosing a home, profession, or school, for example, Social History of German Jews shows the contrasting processes of integration and exclusion in a new light.

Authors: E. A Kiridi
Published: May 2024

Packing density method of mix design of concrete is new method to design different types of concrete. The mix design obtained from the packing density method has suitable workability, maximum packing density and minimum voids ratio. The geometrical characteristics like shape, size and proportion of fine aggregate and coarse aggregate affect packing density. The objective of this research is to study the mix design of concrete using packing density method and develop the correlation between bulk density, packing density and voids ratio. In this work large number of trail to decide the proportion of aggregate for that optimum bulk density and packing density calculated for different varying proportion of 20 mm: 12.5 mm coarse aggregate (i.e. 90:10, 80:20,70:30, 65:35, 60:40 and 50:50) and for varying proportion coarse aggregate: fine aggregate (i.e. 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 55:45 and 50:50). To finalize the mix design using packing density method also varies the percentage of excess cement paste (i.e. 5%, 7%, 9%, 10%, 11% and 12%). Tests were performed for the properties of fresh concrete like workability test (Slump cone) and hardened concrete like compressive strength, split- tensile strength, pull-out test, rebound hammer and flexural Test etc. tests were determined at 7, 14 and 28 days. The obtained results for above mentioned test using packing density method at 9% of excess cement paste are satisfying the standard results.

Potential yields of two staple cereal crops worldwide under global warming
Authors: CHENGZHI CAI , JIDONG CHEN , WENFANG CAO
Published: May 2024

Most studies on model-estimated yield potential of crop under climate change are based on the principle of production function, for specific variety, from static biological dimension and at local or regional level, while few theoretically are based on time-series approach for world crop from dynamic evolutionary angle and on global scale. Therefore we conducted following research in 2019 to 2023 at Guiyang City of China: potential yields of rice and wheat worldwide by 2030 are projected creatively using Auto-regressive Integrated Moving Average and Trend-regressed model based on their history since 1961, in which the projections are tested by actual yields in recent two years and further validated by Gray System model; the impacts of global warming on past production of rice and wheat worldwide since 1961 are analyzed using binary regression model in which global mean temperature is treated as the independent variable while the crop yield as the dependent variable. Our results show that: in the future between 2022 and 2030, average yield of world rice is projected to be from 4876 kg/ha to 5195 kg/ha whereas that of world wheat from 3548 kg/ha to 3817 kg/ha; top (national) yield of world rice is projected to be from 10148 kg/ha to 10269 kg/ha whereas that of world wheat from 9914 kg/ha to 10042 kg/ha; or the ratio between average and top yields of world rice will be from 48.05% to 50.59% whereas that of world wheat from 35.79% to 38.01%; since 1961, global warming exerts a negative impact on average yield of world rice less than on its top, and a positive effect on average yield of world wheat while a negative one on its top, which partially drives the gap between average and top yields of world rice slightly narrowed and that of world wheat gradually closed. These findings indicate that: given that top yield is considered potential limit of average yield, to improve global production of these two staple cereal crops by 2030, the priorities should be given to rice as well as wheat worldwide in their both high and low yield countries.
VERBAL REPRESENTATIONS OF WEAPONS: A UNIVERSALIA-ORIENTED ANALYSIS
Authors: KOLESNYK Oleksandr
Published: May 2024

This paper explores the verbal representations of the WEAPON concept in Old English and Old Icelandic texts, examining how irrational knowledge structures, or "nano-myths," are embedded within the inner form of the concept's names through etymological analysis and interdisciplinary comparisons. These "nano-myths" serve as interpretational and categorizational filters, providing insight into the conceptual underpinnings of these language units. The study emphasizes the role of cognitive models as the basis for these conceptual verbalizations. The analytical approach used in this research is rooted in the theory of myth-oriented semiosis, which forms a key component of the interdisciplinary methodology known as "M-logic." This approach involves reconstructing the cognitive premises underlying these language units and mapping them against a universal model of an open system to identify patterns and variations. The identified models are then compared to ascertain the differences and similarities in conceptual representation between Old English and Old Icelandic. The paper's synthetic interpretations suggest that the set of conceptualized semantic features, organized within the hierarchical plane of the universal model, helps define the allomorphic contours of the respective semantic spaces in the two worldviews. The instrumental component of the isomorphic frame-type structure, which reflects the synergetic dynamics of these semantic spaces, is extended in distinct ways in the Old English and Old Icelandic contexts. This differentiation contributes to the allomorphic structure observed in these worldviews, indicating a unique approach to the concept of weapons in each linguistic tradition.
INTERNATIONALIZATION OF SOFTWARE AND ITS LOCALIZATION INTO UKRAINIAN
Authors: BONDARENKO Oleksandr , BONDARENKO Kateryna
Published: May 2024

The article explores the effects of the internationalization process on adapting software for the Ukrainian locale, emphasizing the linguistic, communicative, and socio-cultural challenges encountered by localizers and translators. It also discusses the strategies employed to address these challenges, considering the unique characteristics of the product and the production processes involved in adapting software for various markets. The study relies on the localized versions of software from Microsoft and Google, along with an examination of their style guides. The goal of the research is to assess the impact of internationalization on the adaptation of software for the Ukrainian audience by delineating strategies and identifying key localization issues. Comparative and contextual analysis methods are used to examine the original and localized versions of the software. The findings from the analysis of supporting documentation and Ukrainian localized products demonstrate that localization is a multifaceted process designed to adapt a product based on the interaction between differenlocales. The interaction properties humans and software to meet the specific requirements and characteristics of influence the architecture and textual elements of the software, as well as the sequence of operations necessary for adaptation to specific locales. Throughout the internationalization of software and the preparation of materials for further localization, certain elements are identified as vulnerable due to linguistic, communicative, and socio-cultural factors, which can present challenges during adaptation to local needs. The linguistic issues associated with Ukrainian localization stem from the specific alphabet system and grammatical features of the Ukrainian language. Communicative aspects determine the level of formality in the software's interaction with Ukrainian users. The socio-cultural characteristics of the Ukrainian locale are the most dynamic and, therefore, may not be fully encapsulated in localization guidelines. The analysis of the auxiliary documents provided to localizers illustrates the developers' commitment to delivering high-quality localized software to Ukrainian users. This commitment is achieved by identifying and addressing the linguistic, communicative, and socio-cultural elements that play a crucial role in successful localization.
STORYTELLING TO IGNITE LEARNING
Authors: TYLER Cecily , MOORE Sarah
Published: May 2024

Storytelling is as old as human communication. It is how communities kept and passed down their histories before the written word. For as long as there have been classrooms, teachers who wanted to connect with students have incorporated stories into their lessons. Today, teachers are navigating the complex realities of trying to keep students’ attention in the digital age. They are competing with the influence of social media and ubiquitous use of smartphones.
In addition to these struggles, the effects of the worldwide pandemic and the realities of countries like Ukraine living through wartime on the state of global education, make it even more challenging to engage students. Teachers need additional tools to help students achieve critical outcomes and life skills.
There is significant qualitative confirmation regarding the efficacy of storytelling in learning. The article presents research findings of educators in various fields who have studied the efficacy of storytelling as a pedagogy. This article also details observed outcomes and advantages of digital filmmaking as a type of storytelling that is an effective teaching framework.
Digital storytelling is a dynamic and immersive tool that can help teachers foster lifelong learning skills in students. These include problem-solving, critical thinking, empathy and active listening, accountability, ethics, and integrity. Once learned, these skills and behaviors create the capacity to achieve further learning engagement, outcomes, such as leadership, community and innovation. Further, a consideration of how digital storytelling can help overcome recent challenges to the education system, such as COVID-19, is also included.
THE DYNAMICS OF ENGLISH SENSORY VERBS MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Authors: HOLOVATSKA Nataliia
Published: May 2024

The study is focused on the analysis of the dynamic development of the morphological functions of the main sensory verbs, which make up the core of five lexical-semantic fields of visual, auditory, gustatory, olfactory and tactile sensory perception, in the diachronic view and covers all periods of the English language development: Old English, Middle English, Early New English and New English. The objective is a detailed and in-depth study of the grammatical and phonetic characteristics of the main nuclear English sensory verbs at each stage of their development and highlighting the changes that took place in their morphological chronology. The main tasks are to track, analyze and compare the grammatical and phonetic characteristics of sensory verb lexemes of five main lexical-semantic fields to indicate the process of sensory perception in each historical period, comparing their dynamics and identifying all possible grammatical and phonetic changes that took place in the specified time period. Various methods, analyses and approaches were involved to obtain reliable data: phonetic, component, comparative, quantitative analysis, analysis of dictionary definitions, comparative-historical method, diachronic-synchronic approach. The study is based on the use of all possible Old English, Middle English and Modern English dictionaries that are available. The results prove that in the subsystem of English sensory verbs denoting the processes of sensory perception, there have been noticeable changes on the grammatical and phonetic levels. Throughout all periods of the English language development, their grammatical and phonetic functions have been subjected to various forms of alignment and similar influence from the class of strong declension to weak declension. A significant part of the basic nuclear sensory verbs underwent quantitative and qualitative phonetic changes.

. Problems of managing creative activity of primary school
students in educational and extracurricular activities
Authors: Veretennikova L. K. , Dugina G. A.
Published: May 2024

Creative activity of primary school students is one of the pedagogical conditions
for the general development of children of this age. This fact is recognized by both researchers
and practicing teachers. At the same time, Russian teachers rarely organize creative activities
in the classroom, more often this is done in classes of technology, fine arts, in extracurricular
activities or at home under the guidance of parents. In this regard, the authors of the article
set a goal to study the methodological foundations of the problem of managing the creative
activity in primary school to analyze cases from the practice of primary school teachers on
the organization of creative and research activities of pupils, to give recommendations for
overcoming the difficulties identified. The key point of the research is to understand the nature
of creativity as a human activity to create something new. Creative and research (project)
activities of schoolchildren are interrelated, similar in nature, but differ in terms of procedure.
During the analysis of the cases, there were identified problems in misunderstanding the
essence of creativity, disorganization of primary school students’ creative and research
activities, insufficient informational work with parents who help children to carry out projects,
and some others. Recommendations are given on how to overcome difficulties.
Combatting Relative Sea-Level Rise at a Global Scale: Presenting the International Panel on Land Subsidence (IPLS)
Authors: Minderhoud Philip , Shirzaei Manoochehr , Teatini Pietro
Published: May 2024

Land subsidence is increasingly recognized as a critical factor exacerbating relative sea-level rise (SLR), particularly affecting coastal cities and delta regions worldwide. Despite its significance, subsidence is often underrepresented in global SLR assessments. This manuscript introduces the formation of the International Panel on Land Subsidence (IPLS), which aims to unify scientific communities and global research efforts, improve monitoring, modeling, projections and mitigation strategies, and integrate subsidence with global SLR projections. We outline a roadmap for the IPLS to become a pivotal resource in global environmental policy, similar in scope to the IPCC. By fostering intergovernmental collaboration and standardizing responses, IPLS seeks to place land subsidence prominently on international agendas, provide mitigation strategies to reduce coastal land subsidence, and thereby relative SLR, and enhance the resilience of vulnerable coastal populations.
Crisis y crítica: entrevista con Moishe Postone

Published: May 2024

Moishe Postone (1942-2018) fue uno de los pioneros en enfrentar críticamente la apología del trabajo que fundamenta perspectivas teóricas de derecha y de izquierda, incluyendo buena parte del marxismo vigente hasta hoy.Postone llevó adelante una reinterpretación de vanguardia de la teoría crítica marxiana, al oponerse contundentemente a la tesis de que el trabajo constituye un punto de vista antagónico al del capital. Tal tesis terminaba por restringir el ámbito de la crítica a la circulación y la distribución, es decir, únicamente al mercado, la propiedad privada y la apropiación de clase del plusvalor. Al contrario, Postone reconocía la auto-abolición del proletariado, y no su realización, como el horizonte del pensamiento de Marx.
La Teoría crítica de la Sociedad de Moishe Postone
Authors: O’Kane Chris , Kitay Iván
Published: May 2024

El siguiente artículo presenta una lectura crítica de la interpretación que hace Postone de la crítica de la economía política de Marx, como un intentode elaborar una teoría crítica del núcleo del capitalismo que podría servir como punto de partida para una teoría crítica del capitalismo. Si bien se reconoce la relevancia de dicha interpretación de la crítica de Marx, el artículo muestra una serie de vacíos que no le permiten a Postone postular plenamente una teoría crítica del capitalismo. Para hacer frente a esto, se propone complementar la crítica de Postone con las perspectivas de otros pensadores vinculados con la tradición de la críticamarxista como teoría social crítica, para desarrollar una nueva lectura de la teoría crítica de la sociedad.
La revuelta chilena: antecedentes, caracterización y desafíos políticos
Authors: De Guio Susanna , Peregalli Alessandro
Published: May 2024

Tras un año de intensas protestas, atravesado por la pandemia Covid-19, el 25 de octubre de 2020 la población chilena decidió por plebiscito desmantelar su Constitución Política, introducida en 1980 durante la dictadura de Pinochet y pilar fundamental del primer y más feroz laboratorio neoliberal del mundo. La votación planteaba dos preguntas: en la primera, relativa a la voluntad decambiar la actual Constitución, ganó el “apruebo” con el 78,3% de los votos; la segunda preguntaba acerca del tipo de órgano que debía redactar la nueva Constitución, entre una “Constituyente Mixta”, la mitad elegida por los ciudadanos y la otra mitad por el Parlamento entre sus miembros actuales, y una “Convención Constituyente” compuesta enteramente por representantes de la sociedad civil. Esta segunda opción ganó con el 78,9% de los votos. La abrumadora victoria del “apruebo” y de la “Convención Constituyente” muestra la vitalidad de un movimiento que ha reivindicado el plebiscito como su propia conquista, a pesar de las muchas campanas de alarma que suenan a raíz de la forma en que se está dando este camino constituyente, desde la firma del Acuerdo de Paz Social y la Nueva Constitución el 15 de noviembre de 2019. En ese momento, a pesar de haber arrebatado algobierno la posibilidad de reescribir la carta constitucional desde cero, el evidente intento del ejecutivo y de la burguesía de adoptar la vía constituyente para encadenar la protesta social a un programa y un calendario institucionales dejó un sabor amargo en la boca. Al mismo tiempo, es innegable que el fin de la Constitución de Pinochet marca un formidable paso adelante en la lucha de clases, feminista y anticolonial del pueblo chileno, paso que hubiera sido impensable sin la extraordinaria rebelión social que estalló el 18 de octubre de 2019 y que, en los días y meses siguientes, a costa de decenas de muertos, cientos de mutilados y miles de presos políticos, sembró el pánico en las clases dominantes chilenas.

Published: May 2024

The objective of this research is to delve into the portrayal of China's national image within the framework of the "The Belt and Road Initiative". This study selects Kazakhstan's media outlet, the reports of "Kazinform" on China spanning from 2018 to 2022 as its subject of investigation, employing quantitative research methodology for a comprehensive examination, including the overall volume of coverage, key themes and content. And our focus is specifically directed towards the distribution patterns and overarching trends of political, economic and cultural themes within the reports. The research findings reveal that "Kazinform" presents a relatively objective and favorable image of China as a nation. In a more detailed context, "Kazinform" accurately reflects China's current state of development across five domains: politics, economics, culture, military affairs and society. Nonetheless, we have also identified instances of negative report. These reports serve to provide us with a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted dimensions of China's image within Kazakhstan's mainstream online media. Simultaneously, they shed light on the factors underlying the formation of the "Chinese perspective" within the content of reports, thereby facilitating a clearer appreciation of the significance of the "Belt and Road Initiative" within the geopolitical landscape of Central Asia

Social media plays vital role among the user communities for social gathering, entertainment, communication, sharing knowledge so on. Twitter is one such network to connect millions of users to share information. Nowadays, there are humpteen numbers of users using social media for social engagements. Due to the fact that wide publicity of individuals and products get viral in social media, everyone wish to use social media as a platform to promote their product. Furthermore, large number of people relies on social media contents to take decisions. Twitter is one of the social media platforms to post the media contents by the user. Spammers are illegal users intrude the twitter account and send the duplicate messages to promote advertisement, phishing, scam and personal blogs etc. In this paper, a novel spam detection mechanism is introduced to detect the suspicious users on twitter. The system has been designed such a way that it initially set with semi-supervised at the tweet level and update into supervised level for learning the input tweets to detect the spammers. The proposed system will also identify the type of spammers and will also remove duplicate tweets. We have applied with multi-classifier algorithms like naïve Bayesian, K-Nearest neighbor and Random forest into twitter data set and the performance is compared. The experimental result shows very promising results.

Results. The article is the first to show the high content of ordinary ascorbic acid in dried leaves of  Aegopodium podagraria, the proportion of which is 168 mg / 100 g, which allows recommending the ascorbic acid as an ingredient with increased antioxidant activity. According to research, the total amount of minerals is 18.65%. The high iron content should be noted: 118.9  ± 33.3 mg / 100 g, which is more than 600% of the daily intake. Of the macroelements, the content of phosphorus (144.8 ± 40.5) and calcium (1134.8  ± 158.9) is high, which satisfies the daily physiological norm of their consumption by 12% and 94%, respectively. The content of copper and zinc does not exceed their maximum permissible concentration (5 mg/kg), which indicates the safety of use in food production technologies. The data obtained make it possible to calculate the percentage of the addition of dried  Aegopodium podagraria into product formulations to obtain enriched or functional products.

The review article is devoted to the analysis and assessment of the impact of climate change on the efficiency of  agricultural  commodity  production  in  the  Republic  of  Tatarstan  and  ameliorative  measures  to  overcome  its  negative  impact  on  the  performance  of  the  agrarian  sphere.  Studies  of  agrometeorological  data  for   1900–2021 testify to the impending growth of climate aridity in the region. The analysis of modern conditions of  meliorative  industry  development  and  its  economic  efficiency  has  shown  that  1.5%  of  arable  land  area under  irrigation  allows  to  produce  up  to  18%  of  crop  production  in  the  republic,  which  certainly  indicates  a high degree of its efficiency. It has been established that the natural-climatic potential of the republic allows to bring the scale of irrigation reclamation up to four hundred thousand hectares, and to guarantee the need of  the  Republic  of  Tatarstan  in  foodstuffs  of  own  production  it  is  necessary  to  bring  the  volume  of  irrigated lands  up  to  150  thousand  hectares,  which  allows  to  speak  about  the  high  export  potential  of  the  republic. High  efficiency  of  land  reclamation  measures  and  existing  measures  of  state  support  unfortunately  do  not provide its implementation in production activity of agrarian business entities due to the need for preliminary overly  bureaucratized  survey  works,  approvals  for  obtaining  design  and  estimate  documentation  (DED).  The scientific and substantiated measures of land reclamation industry development are proposed, contributing to the preservation and restoration of soil fertility, water resources, reducing the loss of agricultural land area,   a multiple increase in the economic efficiency of agricultural production.

There are many problems associated with uncontrolled artificial breeding of dogs, which lead to anatomical abnormalities. In the literature, there is a tendency for dog breeds to appear that have anatomical and physiological changes that lead to the development of pathological childbirth. In populations of breeds with a particularly high risk of dystocia, such as the English Bulldog, the frequency of planned cesarean sections can approach 80%, therefore it is necessary to take a responsible approach to the formation of anesthetic protocols. Thus, the survival rate of newborns and the state of the maternal body depend on this. Anesthesia protocols adopted for cesarean section should provide adequate muscle relaxation, anesthesia and anesthesia to ensure optimal working conditions. The use of opioid analgesics helps to ensure adequate pain control during cesarean section. One of the most commonly used opioids during this surgery in dogs is morphine. The dosage of morphine may vary depending on the size of the dog and the degree of pain. When performing a cesarean section, it is recommended to use drugs that do not cause neonatal depression. It is noted that epidural anesthesia reduces the need for intraoperative analgesics without causing severe neonatal depression. The main drugs that can be used in the preparation of an anesthesiological protocol during cesarean section are propofol, isoflurane, sevoflurane, lidocaine, morphine, fentanyl. The results of the analysis of the literature data showed the effectiveness of the use of drugs from different groups of medicines.

Relevance.  Accidental disease is an actual disease of horses in many countries, including Russia, where cases  of  the  disease  have  been  registered  in  16  administrative  territories.  In  the  Russian  Federation,  the proportion  of  accidental  illness  is  about  47%  in  the  general  infectious  and  parasitic  pathology  of  horses. The mortality rate is high, up to 30–50%, sometimes higher. The treatment of sick animals is prohibited.

The purpose of the study is to study the epizootic situation of accidental illness in the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts, where a high density of horse population is registered.

Methods. The epizootic situation of accidental equine disease from 2020 to 2022 was studied based on the materials of annual reports submitted by the state veterinary laboratories of the Russian Federation.The complement binding reaction (CFT) is the main method of lifetime diagnosis of accidental illness.

Results.  Serological  studies  for  accidental  equine  disease  from  2020  to  2022  were  performed  in  all subjects of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts. It has been established that the epizootic situation of accidental illness in the territory of the Southern Federal District is prosperous, and in a number of regions of the North Caucasus Federal District it is tense. Thus, specific antibodies to the causative agent of  accidental  disease  were  detected  in  the  North  Caucasus  Federal  District  in  36  cases,  including  in  the Republic of Dagestan — 27, in the Chechen Republic — 4, in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic — 3, in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic — 2. Thus, the epizootic situation in the South of Russia is different.

Relevance.  The  safety  of  lambs  is  the  most  important  factor  affecting  the  efficiency  of  the  industry. It   is    of   particular relevance for multiple breeds. The level of dairy productivity of ewes is one of the factors affecting the growth and development of lambs, their safety before weaning. Milk productivity is positively correlated with the dynamics of the live weight of lambs.

The aim of the study was to study the milk content of crossbred ( 1/2 southern meat and 1/2 Katum) and purebred (southern meat) ewes, the effect of this indicator on the growth of lambs.

Methods. The  objects  of  the  study  were  purebred  (n  =  46),  crossbred  ( n  =  30)  ewes  and  their  lambs. To determine the amount of milk produced by a ewe over 20 days, the increase in live weight of lambs during this  period  was  multiplied  by  a  factor  of  5  (on  average,  up  to  5  liters  of  milk  are  required  for  an  increase of   1 kg). In multiple-fetal ewes, milk production was determined by multiplying the sum of the growth of all lambs in the litter by 5.

Results. The  number  of  lambs  in  the  litter  and  the  genotype  of  the  ewes  have  a  statistically  significant effect  on  the  live  weight  of  lambs  at  birth  and  the  milk  production  of  ewes.  Lambs  born  alone  in  a  litter exceeded double lambs by 18.1% and triple lambs by 22.6% in live weight. Multiple ewes are superior in milk production to ewes with one lamb. In terms of the amount of milk produced in 20 days, ewes with triplets exceeded their peers with one lamb by 2.24 times, and with twins — 1.52 times. Crossbred (1/2  southern meat and 1/2 katumskaya) ewes are higher in milk productivity than the maternal breed.
