Hadith merupakan salah satu sumber dalam islam setelah Alquran.Hadits memiliki posisi sentral di mata umat Islam . Karena fungsi Hadis memiliki dua fokus, yaitu Hadits itu sendiri sebagai sumber Tasyr Islam ,bukan sebagai sumber Tasyri’itu sendiri tetapi, sebagai penjelasan atau tabayyun terhadap ayat-ayat umum Alquran . Tak heran jika para sahabat menjaga dan melestarikan Hadith Nabi dengan segala keseriusan . Salah satu cara mempertahankannya adalah dengan menolak anggapan bahwa Hadits tersebut mengandung kontradiksi baik dari sisi Hadits atau dari segi isi Hadits . untuk menghindari hal tersebut, para ulama merumuskan Teori untuk menjawab tudingan kelompok yang mengingkari sunnah Nabi tersebut yang dikenal sebagai salah satu Ilmu hadits, yaitu Ilmu mukhtalif Hadits. Hal ini karena kita menemukan banyak kontradiski dalam hadis atau Mukhtalif . hadith. Hasil pembahasan artikel ini akan menemukan para Muhaddithin untuk memecahkan masalah keberadaan mukhtalif dalam hadits tersebut yang disebut Metode penyelesaian Mukhtalif Hadith yang dibagi menjadi tiga Metode yaitu Al-Jam’u wa al’Taufiq, Nasikh Mansukh dan Tarjih.
On the nature of the gravitational force
Authors: Duncan J
Published: June 2023

The four fundamental forces of nature are the strong force, the electromagnetic force, the weak force, and the gravitational force. The first three are described by quantum theory under the standard model of particle physics. Despite our best efforts, though, we have not been able to unify gravity with the other forces as it is currently understood. We want for a different understanding, and I have found one. I have discovered two constants of proportionality that represent electric and magnetic charges per unit of mass. With these constants, I have accurately computed the gravitational interaction between the Sun and the Earth in electromagnetic terms which allows for the construction of a planetary electromagnetic field model for our solar system and offers a solution to the mystery of why the Newtonian calculation of gravitational bending of light is exactly half of the observed value.

Governance of a DAO for Facilitating Dialogue on Human-Algorithm Interaction and the Impact of Emerging Technologies on Society
Authors: Braga Juliao , Regateiro Francisco , Stiubiener Itana , Braga Juliana Cristina
Published: June 2023

Human-algorithm interaction is a crucial issue for humanity in light of the impacts of the recent release of ChatGPT3 and 4, among others. These advanced chatbots provoked a worldwide debate in March/2023, when a manifesto signed by several stakeholders was published and widely discussed in the media and academia. This work assumes that human-algorithm interactions are influenced by a context of diverse interests and perspectives, which adds high complexity to the problem. Therefore, this work proposes a solution to enable the effective participation of stakeholders from different domains and society in a constructive dialogue, using digital platforms as a medium. Inspired by the successful governance of the Internet infrastructure ecosystem, the proposal involves the creation of an Autonomous Decentralized Organization (DAO) implemented in the blockchain environment of the Ethereum network. However, before implementing the DAO, it is necessary to build a knowledge base, that is, an ontology, which guides its development in a safe and adequate way. A preliminary version of this knowledge base was manually built using Protégé with over 4,000 axioms.

Cognitive heuristics are generalisation processes that reduce uncertainty
Authors: Houser Troy
Published: June 2023

Coping with uncertainty is a ubiquitous challenge that all animals constantly face. Uncertainty makes choosing among options particularly difficult because animals are often unsure about the optimal, or “best”, option. This has led some to posit animals as being largely irrational; however, the ubiquitous nature of uncertainty means that computing optimal decisions is simply not possible for animals. Instead, animals evolved the use of heuristics to make rapid decisions that are often useful. Recently, this use of heuristics has been theorised to be a rational response to ecological constraints on computational capacity. In this Opinion, we expand on this view through the lens of the explorationexploitation dilemma. Specifically, we dissociate between objectively optimal and what we call “platonically optimal” decision-making strategies. Then we describe the computational architecture that can be used to study differences in decision making, and finally, we speculate on a potential connection between heuristics and generalisation processes. Along the way, we incorporate evolutionary, philosophical, psychological, and neuroscientific findings to substantiate claims made. The goal of this opinion is to weave together disparate literatures to provide a conceptual framework for decision making in the face of uncertainty.
DRAG REDUCTION OF BLUFF BODIES IN SHEAR FLOW
Authors: Feliz Celestina , Geronimo Julio , Nuncio Bernardo
Published: June 2023

This research delves into an examination of the potential reduction in friction drag within turbulent channel flow through the implementation of superhydrophobic surfaces. The focus lies on considering the effect of the hydrophobic surface as a slip boundary condition along the wall. Consequently, this newly introduced boundary condition becomes an integral part of the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) equations. The projected outcome suggests a substantial drag reduction of approximately 15% at Re = 5000-8000, aligning harmoniously with the findings derived from Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). Significantly, this discovery holds implications regarding the modification of near-wall turbulence structures through the introduction of streamwise slip velocity. Moreover, it becomes evident that the turbulence structure experiences a discernible transformation when the slip length exceeds a specific threshold value.

The stress-buffering role of friendships in young people with childhood threat experiences: a preliminary report
Authors: König Maximilian , Berhe Oksana , Ioannidis Konstantinos , Orellana Sofia , Davidson Eugenia , Kaçer Muzaffer , Consortium RAISE , Moreno-Lopez Laura , Van Harmelen Anne-Laura
Published: June 2023

Background: High-quality friendships have a positive impact on the mental health of young people with childhood adversity (CA). Social stress buffering, the phenomenon of a social partner attenuating acute stress responses, is a potential yet unexplored mechanism that may underlie this relationship. Objective: This study examined whether perceived friendship quality was related to better mental health and lower neural stress response in young people with CA. Method: A total of N = 102 young people (aged 16-26) with low to moderate CA were included in the study. We first investigated associations between friendship quality, mental health, and CA. In a representative subset (n = 62), we assessed neural stress responses using the Montreal Imaging Stress Task. In our sample, CA was best described along two dimensions resembling threat or deprivation like experiences. Hence, we investigated both cumulative and dimensional effects of CA. Results: We found no support for social thinning after CA, meaning that the severity of CA (cumulative or dimensional) did not differentially impact friendship quality. High-quality friendships, on the other hand, were strongly associated with better mental health. Furthermore, acute stress increased state anxiety and enhanced neural activity in five frontolimbic brain regions, including the left hippocampus. We found weak support that threat experiences interacted with friendship quality to predict left hippocampal reactivity to stress. However, this effect did not survive multiple comparison correction. Conclusion: The absence of social thinning in our sample may suggest that the risk of developing impoverished social networks is low for rather well- functioning young people with low to moderate CA. Regardless, our findings align with prior research, consistently showing a strong association between high-quality friendships and better mental health in young people with CA. Future research is needed to examine whether friendships aid neural stress responses in young people with childhood threat experiences.
Methodological approach to achieving a balance of interests of agricultural organizations, their employees and the state
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Agrarian University, Novosibirsk, Russia, Essaulenko Dmitry V. , Shelkovnikov Sergey A. ,   Novosibirsk State Agrarian University, Novosibirsk, Russia
Published: June 2023

The state is interested in increasing the volume of agricultural production, but state support for agricultural production is limited. The activity of agricultural organizations is profitable, but the achieved level of profitability is still insufficient for a significant expansion of production. The low level of remuneration of agricultural workers does not create sufficient incentives for labor productivity growth. The use of the profit factor model constructed by the authors makes it possible to create a basis for the formation of vectors of interests of the state, producers and workers in one direction in such a way that state support creates the possibility of additional labor costs. Subject to compliance with the requirement of a faster rate of labor productivity growth, this will contribute to the growth of profits of commercial agricultural organizations received from an ever-increasing volume of production.

The article presents an analysis of changes in the value of imports of fruit and vegetable products to Egypt for 2010-2021. The transformation of import volumes from abroad is considered both in the whole of this food group and in the context of its main subgroups. The changes in the parameters and structure of imports of fruit and vegetable products to Egypt by the countries acting as its main suppliers are analyzed and characterized, and a rating for 2021 of fifteen main ones is compiled. Similar calculations and conclusions were made for specific subgroups of two groups: 07 «Vegetables, root crops and tubers» and 08 «Fruits, berries and nuts». The authors found that in 2010-2021, the import of fruit and vegetable products to Egypt increased from $ 627.4 million to $ 1,130.2 million, that is, 1.8 times. However, this was mainly due to the group 08 «Fruits, berries and nuts». As a result, the share of vegetables and root crops in this indicator decreased from 67.9% in 2010 to 43.2% in 2021, and the share of fruits and berries increased from 32.1% to 56.8%.
Improvement of strategic planning of export of AIC products in Russia
Authors:   Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University, Krasnoyarsk, Russia, Chepeleva Cristina V.
Published: June 2023

Since 2018, Russia has been actively developing agro-food exports as one of the priority areas of foreign economic activity, thereby implementing an export-oriented model of economic development of the agro-industrial complex. At the same time, despite the positive dynamics of the indicators of the implementation of the projects «International cooperation and export», «Export of agricultural products» and the presence of numerous sectoral, sectoral strategies and programs for the development of the agro-industrial complex and its subcomplexes, certain problems of the development of export activities remain, which are intensified under the influence of sanctions pressure, restrictive measures and the transformation of global food markets. The main problem is that despite the presence of a large number of legal documents that reflect the issues of agricultural exports, there is a lack of a targeted vision for its development in the long term. The target indicators of program and strategic documents on the regulation and development of exports of agri-food products in the Russian Federation are not always related to the declared goals, they are predominantly quantitative in nature. In order to resolve the problem, it is proposed to change the types of strategic planning to pre-active with the prospect of developing interactive approaches, review the principles and methodological planning tools, as well as the inclusion of goal setting for various participants in agricultural export planning at different levels of management. To form the concept of pre-active strategic development of exports of agricultural products, methods of comparative analysis, situational and systemic approaches were used. High-quality strategic planning of export activities in the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation will allow developing a comprehensive science-based strategy, as well as creating an impulse for the formation of strategies at other levels (regional, municipal), subject to their harmonization. The latter will increase the manageability and efficiency of programs and projects for the development of agricultural exports in the Russian Federation.
The need to targeting the return on assets and equity of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex

Published: June 2023

The article clarifies the relevance of the implementation of targeting the return on assets and equity capital for enterprises of the agro-industrial complex. In the long term, the return on assets should exceed the price of debt capital, and the return on equity should exceed the inflation rate. Compliance with these rules will allow sector of the economy to exist and develop. The purpose of the work was to substantiate the need and clarify the specifics of targeting the return on assets and equity capital at the enterprises of the agro-industrial complex. The reasons for the need to target the considered indicators are determined: a high level of inflation, risk, the cost of borrowed capital, as well as the presence of a conflict of interests between managers and owners of enterprises. Ignoring the interests of the owners of the agro-industrial complex enterprises and their exclusion from real business management can cause an outflow of capital from the industry. Targeting return on assets and equity should be carried out complementary to the current planning at the enterprise. Despite the fact that the ultimate interest of business owners is to maximize the return on equity, this indicator should be targeted simultaneously with the return on assets, since achieving the target on the latter will allow using financial leverage and optimizing the amount of equity capital. The currently relevant values of the target of return on equity of agribusiness enterprises are 22%, return on assets - 20%.

In conditions of limited resources, the problem of organizing the institutional environment, which determines the effective interaction of business entities, the introduction of innovations and digital technologies, is becoming more urgent. The organization of effective innovative production generates systemic effects of including resources in production, reducing costs for entering the industry, developing infrastructure, and increasing the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises. At the same time, in modern conditions, the level of requirements for the competencies of agricultural workers is changing. The implementation of an innovative system of training specialists and professional retraining of personnel, modern educational platforms provide for the transition to the implementation of individual training programs for specialists and professional retraining of personnel, the development of relevant competencies and training specialists to work in the environment of modern technological complexes. In the Republic of Tatarstan, the system of state support measures for agricultural enterprises has led to an innovative renewal of the production technological base, digitalization of agricultural production, improvement of the personnel training system, and, ultimately, increasing the efficiency of the agricultural sector of the economy and ensuring the competitive advantages of agricultural formations, ensuring sustainable development of rural areas. The synergistic effects of timely effective state support led to the growth of agricultural production in the republic.
Provision of food to the population of the northern territories of Russia

Published: June 2023

In recent years, negative processes have been developing in the overwhelming majority of the northern regions of Russia: the population is declining (with the threat of depopulation of rural areas). Acreage is also decreasing; livestock of cattle and reindeer is decreasing. And as a result, the level of self-sufficiency in meat and dairy products, especially necessary for residents of these territories, is decreasing. The full-fledged food supply of the population is limited by its low incomes, significant property stratification, as well as low availability of arable land and low transport accessibility of territories. The share of the northern regions in the Far Eastern regions accounts for more than 70% of the district’s territory, despite the fact that no more than one third of its population lives there. Regions differ significantly in natural and climatic, economic and geographical, demographic conditions, resource potential, which causes significant differences in the level of food production and consumption. There is extremely low self-sufficiency in all types of food, which reduces the level of its availability. The population of all these regions consumes dairy products, vegetables and melons below the rational norm, and residents of Chukotka also experience a significant shortage of meat products, eggs, potatoes and bread. This requires taking appropriate measures to comprehensively address the food problem in the northern territories.
Innovations and investments are the main factors of effective agribusiness management at the present stage (on the example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Authors:   Arctic State Agrotechnological University, Yakutsk, Russia, Rodnina Natalia V.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the problems of overcoming the technical and technological backwardness of the agrarian sector of the region. In modern conditions, the state is faced with the task of ensuring the effective management of the entire national economy, while the agro-industrial complex is one of the most important life-supporting areas. Food supply and well-being of the population depend on the state of the agro-industrial complex. At the same time, the agricultural complex retains the position of a less prepared industry for the transition to an innovative path of development and solving the issue of import substitution under sanctions. On the example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the article reflects negative trends that impede the development of the industry. The need to form an innovation process in the agro-industrial complex and its transition to a new economic strategy is defined as a primary task.

Published: June 2023

At present, the problem of the formation and development of agroholding entities is an important and relevant topic for discussion in the scientific community of the Republic of Bashkortostan and the country as a whole. The relevance of the study is largely determined by the presence on a regional scale of a large proportion of the rural population (38%), which is an important distinguishing feature of Bashkortostan, growing unemployment and a decrease in real incomes of rural residents of the republic. This requires a balanced and systematic approach to the development of agricultural production on a regional scale. It should be noted that in the republic the formation of agroholdings is an inevitable and objective process of consolidation of agricultural organizations, which is largely determined by the migration of capital and other resources from a number of sectors of the economy and the provision of significant preferences by the state to agricultural production in recent years. At the same time, equal rights should be ensured for all forms of ownership and management in the countryside. So, on the Bashkir land today it is quite comfortable in economic terms to conduct economic activities of personal (subsidiary) households of the population, peasant (farmer) households and agricultural organizations. Several large agricultural organizations operate in the republic, which fully correspond to the parameters of agroholdings. However, it must be stated that the categorical definition of the term «agroholdings» has not yet been presented in legislative acts and regulatory documents. Such terminological uncertainty leads to the fact that many large agricultural organizations continue to work «under the auspices» of a personal (subsidiary) farm, which, in turn, determines the emergence of serious contradictions in certain aspects of taxation, accounting, and state support for agricultural producers.

The article highlights and analyzes the most serious threats and problems affecting the food security of modern society; carried out their classification according to the main features. It is determined that the right to meet the needs for food is an integral element of basic human rights: social, civil, economic, political, cultural. This right is realized on the basis of the state policy of food security, which is one of the main goals not only of the agrarian, but also of the country’s economic policy in general, which forms the direction of the state’s food system to an ideal state. Accordingly, food security is the ability of the state to guarantee its citizens, regardless of actual and potential threats, the satisfaction of food needs in volumes, quality and assortment that meet scientifically based standards and norms. It has been proven that the lack of equal access to land, water, natural resources, their irrational use, as well as limited economic opportunities due to political or armed conflicts undermine food sustainability at various levels. Formation of food security is a continuous process during which changing not only the mechanisms for implementing the national agrarian policy, but also development priorities.

Authors: AKINOĞLU Bihter , ACAR Hasan Yasin , PAKÖZ Büşra , KOCAHAN Tuğba
Published: June 2023

The aim of the present study was to compare the balance ability between genders in elite athletes. A total of 152 athletes, 76 female and 76 male, from 10 different branches with similar demographic characteristics included to the study. A computerized balance platform (BT4, HUR Labs Oy, Tampere, Finland) was used to determine balance ability of the athletes. Static balance measurement, with eyes open and closed stability test on hard and soft ground; dynamic balance measurement was evaluated with forward, backward, left and right functional reach test and Romberg values calculated by the device. It was determined that the Romberg value of female athletes was higher than that of male athletes (p= 0.025). It was determined that the area scanned by female athletes in static balance ability on fixed ground with eyes open was less than that of male athletes (p= 0.025); the length drawn by female athletes in static balance ability on soft ground with eyes open was less (p= 0.010) and their scanning speed was slower (p= 0.007). Static balance ability of female athletes were significantly better than male athletes, and female athletes interpreted visual inputs better than male athletes in static balance ability. We recommend training with visual inputs and visual exercises in order to increase balance performance, especially in female athletes.
Structural organization and ecology of birds of the High-Mountinous Dagestan
Authors: Vilkov E.V.
Published: June 2023

This paper analyzes the data of bird counts conducted in 1998–2021 in the province High-Mountainous Dagestan. For the first time, information was obtained on the modern average abundance of birds, their conservation status, residence status, species and faunistic composition. Of the 117 bird species recorded in the High-Mountain province of Dagestan, European, widespread, Mediterranean and Tibetan representatives of faunal complexes dominate in its humid northwestern and central parts, which is due to the prevalence of forests and shrubby subalpine meadows with large-scale rocky outcrops. In the southeastern, more aridized and treeless part of the highlands, where subalpine and alpine meadows with local rock inclusions dominate, representatives of the widespread, Mediterranean and Mongolian types of fauna are already taking the leading positions. Studies have shown that in mountains with a blurred altitudinal-belt gradient associated with the inversion of vegetation belts, the avifauna is subdivided not according to altitudinal differences, but according to habitats with corresponding ecological bird communities. Using the original ecological classification, the ecological structure of the avifauna of the study area was determined, including 11 ornithocomplexes differentiated according to the same type of habitats with an indication of their total abundance. Each habitat with the corresponding ornithocomplex was characterized according to ecological specifics, indicating with the indication of the first 5 species leading in terms of abundance. It has been established, that the specific appearance of the avifauna of the High-Mountinous Dagestan is given not only by the resident communities of typically mountain birds, but also by the adapted populations of migratory birds of the plains nesting in the highlands. The empirical data obtained make it possible to use them for spatial indication of bird communities for research purposes, for monitoring the state of the avifauna and its protection, as well as for organizing the rational use of hunting and commercial resources.

Acoustic playback techniques involve broadcasting of various sound stimuli to simulate the presence of a certain species. In this article, we applied a variation of the method using automatic sound-reproducing stations (ASRS), which imitate the daily vocal activity of birds that is close to natural. We investigated whether acoustic playback experiments help to examine the role of social cues for bird settlement decisions, as well as to detect the presence of rare and low-density species. Using this method, we were able to increase the local density of the rustic bunting Ocyris rusticus Pallas, 1776 (Emberizidae) – species, which is currently listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation (2001). The findings of our study show that rustic buntings preferred to settle on plots where the song imitating the presence of conspecifics was broadcasted by ASRSs. In addition, the playback method was used to examine the social structure of the population of the wood warbler Phylloscopus sibilatrix Bechstein, 1793 (Sylviidae), a small species that lives here on the northern periphery of the range. The wood warbler songs were broadcasted by ASRSs before the arrivals of the first conspecifics to the breeding area. Songs with different acoustic activity (2 or 6 trills per min) were used to create a difference between the social environments on plots. The gathered data showed a display of two different behavioral responses of individuals (males) to different song types broadcasted on plots. Based on this observation, the main hypothesis is about the existence of both conservative and opportunistic male reproductive strategies of the wood warbler. The results demonstrate the possibility of using acoustic playback techniques to study the role of acoustic signals in territorial behavior and social structure of a bird population. Understanding the ways birds make settlement decisions is essential for the development of conservation practices.

The Early Pleistocene site of Palan-Tyukan (MNQ18, ca 1.85 Mya) is located in Transcaucasia, northwestern Azerbaijan. In total, more than 300 mammalian bones were collected there by one of the authors (M.V. Sablin) in 1986 and 1990. The remains were laid close to each other in a 25 m2 lens-like accumulation, in a stratum of normally magnetized (the upper part of the Olduvai subchron) yellowish-grey Lower Apsheron loams. No any excavations have been carried here out since. The present study is based on the analysis of the Bovidae remains. The material is represented by fragments of skulls and horn cores, isolated teeth and bones of the postcranial skeleton. As a result of the revision of the collection, Leptobos (Smertiobos) cf. etruscus (Falconer, 1859), Gazellospira torticornis (Aymard, 1854) and Gazella cf. bouvrainae (Kostopoulos, 1996) were identified. The degree of the unworn M3 tooth hypsodonty of Leptobos, as well as the size and morphology of limb bones indicate a greater similarity with those of L. etruscus from Olivola and Tasso. The characteristics of the horn cores, as well as the upper teeth and limb bones of the medium-sized spiral-horned antelope from Palan-Tyukan indicate a greater similarity with those of the nominative subspecies G. torticornis torticornis. The dimensions and degree of flattening of the horn cores, as well as the parameters of the p4 tooth, are similar to those of the medium-sized gazelle G. bouvrainae, described from several Early Pleistocene localities of Greece. The taxonomic composition of the Bovidae association from Palan-Tyukan is consistent with the previously determined stratigraphic position of the locality, the fauna from which belongs to the Psekups faunal complex of Eastern Europe, correlated with the Late Villafranchian of Western Europe. The composition of these herbivores community testifies to the spread of savanna-like forest-steppe landscapes in the west of Transcaucasia during this period of the Early Pleistocene.

More than 1500 bones of the skull and postcranial skeleton of the Mongolian gazelle (Procapra cf. gutturosa Pallas, 1777) from 4 Paleolithic sites of Western Transbaikalia (Varvarina Gora, Kamenka, Khotyk, Tolbaga) and 3 cave localities of the northwestern Altai (Denisova, Strashnaya, Kaminnaya) were studied. For comparison, a large collection of skeletal bones from 56 individuals of modern P. gutturosa, collected on the territory of the “Dzeren Valley” nature reserve, was used. A number of morphometric differences in the structure of the lower jaw and bones of the postcranial skeleton between modern and fossil Mongolian gazelle have been revealed. Pleistocene P. cf. gutturosa had shorter and relatively massive limb bones and was significantly smaller in body size than the modern one. At the sites of Transbaikalia, Mongolian gazelle bones can account for up to half of all megafauna remains, in the Middle-Late Pleistocene layers of Altai caves, up to 3–4%. During the periods of glaciation, the Mongolian gazelles of Transbaikalia and Altai lived in conditions of cold, dry and little snow steppe or mountain-steppe landscapes. In the interglacial and interstadials, they continued to live here in the conditions of steppe or forest-steppe landscapes.

The paper presents the results of age and growth studying of the Tajikistan toadhead agama Phrynocephalus sogdianus by skeletochronology. A total of 29 adult individuals (14 females and 15 males) from the vicinity of Uchkyzil (Termez district, Surkhandarya region, Uzbekistan) were studied. All animals, on the section of tubular bones had a birth (hatching) line appearing shortly after the lizards hatching. The majority of the sample consisted of one-year-old and two-year-old specimens (89.7%). The age of females and males varied between 1–3 years, averaging 1.53 and 1.71 years, respectively. The expected calculated life expectancy for females after one wintering was 2.25 years, for males 2.06 years. Females and males did not differ in body length. The length of the males’ body depended on their age. Males aged one and two years statistically significantly differed in size among themselves. The authors note that P. sogdianus has very high growth rates (growth coefficient k is 2.84 in females and 1.40 in males), exceeding that of other toadhead agamas.
Comparative and morphological review of plunderfishes of the genus Artedidraco (Artedidraconidae, Notothenioidiei)
Authors: Zhdanov S.V.
Published: June 2023

The external morphology and axial skeleton of 5 species of Antarctic plunderfishes of the genus Artedidraco Lönnberg, 1905 were studied using materials from the collection of ZIN. Plastic (26) and meristic (14) characters were analyzed; a morphological characteristics of the species was prepared. The results of the study partially con firm the previously revealed differences between the species of the genus, but some diagnostic characters of plunderfishes are found for the first time: the number of branched rays of the caudal fin, height of the head, length of the chin barbel and height of the second dorsal fin, predorsal, preanal and prebranchial distances, number of vertebrae in different parts of the spine. Assumptions are made about the functional role of characters, according to which the differences between the species associated with the diet and habitat of these fish are established. Two groups of Artedidraco species were found: “skottsbergi” (A. skottsbergi Lönnberg, 1905, A. loennbergi Roule, 1913) and “shackletoni” (A. shackletoni Waite, 1911, A. glareobarbatus Eastman et Eakin, 1999). Species of A. mirus Lönnberg, 1905 and A. orianae Regan, 1914 were not assigned to any group, since during the work a sufficient number of their similarities was not found. An identification key for species of the genus was compiled.

Two new species of benthopelagic calanoid copepod Bradfordian genera Pseudophaenna japonica sp. nov. and Xantharus dubius sp. nov. are described from collections of the Russian-German deep-sea expedition (SoJaBio) to the Sea of Japan onboard of the R/V Akademik Lavrentyev, 51st cruise taken close to the sea bed. The rare calanoid copepod genera Pseudophaenna Sars, 1902 and Xantharus Andronov, 1981 and a rare aetideid species Bradyidius rakuma (Zvereva, 1977) are recorded for the first time from the Japan Sea; the male of B. rakuma is described for the first time. Pseudophaenna japonica sp. nov. is the second species described for the genus Pseudophaenna and is distinguished by biramous rostrum, antennule ancestral segment XXII without seta, details of oral parts setation in females and in P5 structure in dimorphic males. Xantharus dubius sp. nov. is described from males and is distinguished from congeners in the antennule ancestral segments XXII and XXIII not comparatively small relative to the segment XXI and in the large and robust uniramous P5. In the collections of the expedition SoJaBio in 2010 from the Japan Sea the near-bottom benthopelgic fauna of Calanoida have been represented by these species only and they all belong to the calanoid superfamily Clausocalanoidea.
