Published: July 2024

Abstract—The COVID-19 pandemic has had several negative impacts on pregnant women, including increased stress levels.This study aims to determine the level of knowledge and stress levels in pregnant women during the pandemic, as well as analyze the relationship between the two. This is a quantitative research study that utilized an analytical observational method and a cross-sectional study design. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling. Data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires containing statements about the level of knowledge and magnitude of stress experienced by pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that 55% of respondents had poor knowledge, and 54% had moderate stress levels. There was no significant relationship between knowledge level and stress level among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic (p = 0.997). It is important to note that having good knowledge does not necessarily guarantee lower stress levels, and vice versa. Health workers should not only provide education about COVID-19 but also examine stress levels in pregnant women.

The Theme of Spirituality in F.M. Dostoevsky’s Novel “The Brothers Karamazov”
Authors: Manukyan Gretta V. ,   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation
Published: July 2024

The article explores the theme of spirituality in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel “The Brothers Karamazov”, employ-ing hermeneutic, contextual, comparative, and other research methods. The duality in the portrayal of the divine is noteworthy. On the one hand, it is a completely positive image, which is expressed by the characters of the novel, the elder Zosimas and Alexei Karamazov; on the other hand, the novel’s complex philosophical and psychological composition justifies Dostoevsky’s exploration of the truthfulness of divine representation of God and the entire religious in the general eventuality of the work. The analysis concludes that the theme of spiritu-ality in Dostoevsky’s “The Brothers Karamazov” ultimately emphasizes that attaining the highest freedom ne-cessitates personal sacrifice. This theme is intricately woven into the characters’ journeys and the novel’s over-arching philosophical inquiries.

Authors: Korshunova Nadezhda V. ,   South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, Shapina Khristina Yu. ,   South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of materials from the newspaper “Chelyabinsky Rabochiy” during the first five-year plans (1928–1937) as part of the press’s reflection of events related to the industrialization of the city. It examines the role of the periodical press as part of propaganda and agitation policies among the masses. It is noted that from the late 1920s to the early 1930s, there was a growth in the number of newspapers in the USSR. According to the First Five-Year Plan for the development of the national economy of the USSR (1928), the Southern Urals, led by Chelyabinsk, was designated as the second coal and metallurgical base. Therefore, the ideas of industrial construction needed to be effectively communicated to the population through propa-ganda in local periodicals, with the largest being the newspaper “Chelyabinsky Rabochiy”. In the course of studying the materials published in the newspaper, the authors identified six thematic blocks, through which they were able to trace the indirect influence of the information published in the newspaper on the processes of industrialization in Chelyabinsk.
Easterly Component in the Historical Dynamics of Russia: Origins of Formation
Authors: Lebedev Viktor E. ,   Ural Federal University named the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin
Published: July 2024

Russia, historically situated amidst equivalent state and cultural entities such as the Roman Catholic West, By-zantium, and the steppe empires of Eurasia, has evolved as a region characterized by significant dialogue po-tential and extensive cultural exchange. It represents a natural space for integrating geostrategically significant territories. A pivotal determinant in Russia’s development has been its cultural and civilizational interactions with the Eastern world. Understanding this dialogue is crucial for interpreting modern global processes, where the countries of the “global East” are the “world majority”, with Russia as a core actor. A retrospective analysis of Russia’s initial interactions with its eastern neighbors reveals a culturally and civilly enriching process that ex-hibited notable self-sustaining capacity over time. This interaction was not merely transient but manifested as enduring traditions among the peoples, deeply ingrained within their respective cultures. This article presents the author's interpretation of Russia’s early recognition and engagement with socio-cultural systems of Eastern origin. It emphasizes a comprehensive analytical approach to examining Russia’s relationships with entities such as the Volga Bulgars, Khazars, Mongol-Tatars, and Byzantines.
Leisure Time of Workers in Tyumen during the First Five-Year Plans (1928–1941)
Authors: Plokhotnikov Vyacheslav S. ,   Industrial University of Tyumen
Published: July 2024

Leisure time, an essential component of people’s everyday life, plays a particularly crucial role in personality development. The relevance of studying leisure time lies in the necessity to define the value orientations of social groups, allowing for a more detailed examination of societal conditions. This article analyzes for the first time, based on materials from Tyumen, the administrative center of Siberian Trans-Urals, the process of up-bringing during the early Five-Year Plans of the “new man”, whose image, in the authorities’ perception, was associated with the highest form of social activity and a deeply meaningful “happy” life. It is established that the formation of new norms and values was built not only through the propagation of communist ideology but also through its integration into everyday life and mass culture. The active and passive forms of organizing leisure time among workers of Tyumen’s industrial enterprises are explored, tracing their evolution amidst Soviet modernization. It is demonstrated that within the structure of workers’ leisure time, elements of disruptive devia-tion persisted, detailing their causes and influence on societal processes. The author concludes that socio-cultural changes in the lives of the working class lagged behind the modernization processes in the city’s and the state’s economy.
Monument to the Zaporozhian Settlers in Taman as a Reflection of the Historical Culture of the Kuban Cossacks
Authors: Salchinkina Angelina R. ,   Kuban State Agrarian University named after I.T. Trubilin
Published: July 2024

The article analyzes the main structural components of the historical culture of the Kuban Cossacks through the prism of the creation of the monument to the Zaporozhian settlers in 1911 in Taman. The study utilized histori-cal-genetic and cultural-historical methods, as well as narrative analysis and interdisciplinary approach. The novelty of the work is determined by both the subject area of the study and the source base, represented by the materials of the State Archive of the Krasnodar Krai. Using the example of the creation of the monument to the Zaporozhian Cossacks, the main elements in the structure of historical culture are highlighted: the core, the image-symbolic space around it, actors, historical contextuality, functions. It is shown how various social groups – the Cossack community and the official government – updated historical narratives stored in collec-tive memory, making them socially significant in certain historical periods. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that the historical culture of the Kuban Cossacks is embodied in the monument in two concepts – as an event that consolidates the imperial granting of the Kuban land to the Cossacks “for eternal possession”, and as a tool for transmitting the required corporate values and social model of behavior aimed at serving the Fatherland and the state.
Development Features of the US Military-Industrial Complex at the Initial Stage of the Russo-Ukrainian Conflict
Authors: Galkin Kirill O. ,   Moscow State Institute of International Relations (University) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs  of the Russian Federation
Published: July 2024

The article examines the principal trends in the development of the US military-industrial complex within new geopolitical realities, focusing on the early stages of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. The conflict has drawn atten-tion not only to the military-political aspects of the US global strategy, but also to the degree of readiness of the American defense-industrial complex for a possible direct clash with an enemy of equal strength. Structural imbalances accumulated during the post-bipolar period have become evident through active US arms supplies to Kyiv. The study endeavors to identify key features of the US defense industry’s development amid the initial stages of the Russo-Ukrainian crisis. The methodological basis of the study is the neorealist approach to the study of international relations and military-political issues. The main trends in the development of the US mili-tary-industrial complex at the present stage are highlighted.
The Clinton Administration’s Balkan Policy from 1992 to 1995 through the Prism of the American Press
Authors: Sokolov Aleksei S. ,   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation
Published: July 2024

The article highlights the formation of the position of the administration of the 42nd US President William Clinton on the events taking place in the early 90s in civil war-torn Bosnia. It analyzes the factors and reasons influenc-ing the formation of this position, its evolution, and eventual implementation. To assess this policy, two of the most influential US newspapers are used – The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, newspapers re-flecting the sentiments of the bulk of the country’s liberals and conservatives. The significance of this study lies in the necessity to understand the algorithms used by American authorities in formulating foreign policy deci-sions and their alignment with public opinion as reflected in mass media tailored to specific social audiences. Scientific novelty of the work lies in introducing a substantial volume of American press into research dis-course.

Authors: Wiknjopranoto Harie Moeljono , Nugraheni, SE., M.Com., Akt Bernadeta Linggar Yekti
Published: July 2024

Research regarding the implementation of Indonesia Health Insurance patient services in hospitals has been conducted in previous studies.  However case study research regarding challenges, opportunities and strategies for implementing Health Insurance services in class C hospitals has been overlooked. This research aims to determine the challenges, opportunities and strategies carried out by Hospital X, a class C hospital, in serving Health Insurance patients so that it succeeds in optimizing its financial performance. Payment using the package system rates imposed by BPJS is both challenge and opportunity for hospitals that serve Health Insurance patients because this system is different from the fee for services payment system that is usually applied in hospitals. This research used a qualitative approach by conducting interviews with 8 participants at Hospital X. The data was analysed using the theory of institutional logics and institutional work. This research found the role of actors in the process of institutionalizing the Health Insurance system at hospital X as a reference for others hospital actors in assuring quality and cost control policies that can improve hospital financial performance.

Authors: Prytula Khrystyna , Kalat Yaroslava , Kurowska-Pysz Joanna , Melnyk Mariana , Maksymenko Anna , Leshchukh Iryna , Ţoca Constantin-Vasile
Published: July 2024

Global transformational processes associated with the geopolitical fragmentation of the world, changes in supply chains, and the emergence of threats to food, energy, logistics security, etc. have impacted the increase in the freight traffic volumes through the Ukraine-European Union (Ukraine-EU) land border section. In this context, the transport and logistics infrastructure on this section of the border was inadequate for the growing demand for international freight transport, leading to huge economic, social, and environmental damage to all participants in foreign trade. The aim of this paper is to study the efficiency of the functioning of the transport and logistics infrastructure on the Ukraine-EU border section. The taxonomy used in the paper made it possible to look into economic, security, geopolitical, logistics, transport, legal, and political factors shaping the freight traffic volumes, structure, and routes; their key trends and impact on the generation of freight traffic are described. Statistical analysis of freight traffic by border sections and with respect to border crossing points allowed the identification of bottlenecks in the functioning of the transport and logistics infrastructure and outlining ways to address them. The results of the study will be helpful both to researchers working on the issues of freight transport and to policymakers involved in transport and border infrastructure development.
The Mystics of Islam
Authors: Dragoman Dragoş
Published: July 2024

Islam is far from being only a range of acts of strict observation that the believer is asked to do. It is also the vast garden of mystical inquiry, an ongoing effort to reveal the powerful action of the Sublime in the material world we live in. This mystical quest for the Devine is exemplified here by the poem of Farīd-ud-Dīn ʼAttar of Nishapur about the Speech of the Birds, where the hoopoe instructs the other birds on the Sufi path. Engaging into this path means destroying all the attachments of his own ego with the sensitive world and delve into mysteries. In the end, the annihilation of the self allows the great joy of the eternal union with the Supreme.
The Communication Process Through Translation
Authors: Creţu Ioana-Narcisa
Published: July 2024

Translation is used to express in different languages the same communication content. To distinguish the content as such, modern communication theories are based on the distinction made by three levels or types of linguistic content. This study uses the terminology of Coseriu from Textlinguistik (1994). According to this author, three main types of linguistic content can be distinguished: the designation - the reference to the extra-linguistic reality, the signification – the given content of the individual language and the meaning - what the text or a text fragment ‘meant’ in a specific context and in a specific situation. For the communication process it is important, which from these three types linguistic content can be found in a text and must be transferred when translating into another language. The article offers a comparative research between the original French text from Charles De Coster „La légende et les aventures héroïques, joyeuses et glorieuses d’Ulenspiegel et de Lamme Goedzak au pays de Flandres et ailleurs” and its German translations. The study examines 129 Flemish words and idioms used by the Belgian author for his „Flemish language”. The analyze shows the difficulties in the communication process trough translation in order to maintain the content with all significations in a different language.

Covid-19 and the Emotional Health of Romanian Students
Authors: Damian Ovidiu , Duhomnicu Alberto
Published: July 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a serious impact on societies around the world, causing various reasons for concern among the population, from anxiety, stress, psychosomatic symptoms depression, or even suicidal thoughts. One of the most affected groups and a particularly vulnerable sector is that of students, who were able to fully feel the consequences of the pandemic and the psychological pressure related to it. This introduced several stress factors that had the potential to impact their emotional health. The most common problems were the sudden transition to online education, reduced or even non-existent social interactions, the fear of infection and the economic difficulties they faced during this period. We seek to provide a comprehensive understanding of how the youth have been affected, but also potential sources of support and intervention. We used a self-reporting online survey based on the “Balance model” from Positive Psychotherapy in order to assess the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on their emotional health and we also questioned the students about their coping strategies and the actions they consider helpful in such situations. The survey was completed by 1574 students from twenty universities in Romania and showed that a lot of them had professional, physical, and emotional difficulties which they faced mostly alone, without seeking assistance from any type of professional care, such as psychologists or specially designed helplines.
Collective Memory in Diplomacy and Interantional Relations
Authors: Bratu Georgeta-Cristiana
Published: July 2024

This paper looks at the theoretical and operational underpinnings of empirical endeavors aimed at assessing the impact of collective memory on the relationship between states. It reviews the literature dedicated to the concept of “collective” memory and its operationalization. The discusssion on the operationalization of this concept reveals the importance of the “infrastructure of memory” that political and cultural elites (“the critical community”) set up in order to keep the memory alive. There is a limited body of literature that focuses on the use of memory in diplomacy and international relations, but this author argues that, properly framed, an investigation of the impact the memory of a specific historical event has on bilateral relationship is worthwhile pursuing.
Observation Concerning the Romanian Language and the New Ortho-graphic Dictionary (DOOM)
Authors: Crețu Ioana-Narcisa
Published: July 2024

This paper considers the principles of writing the Romanian language in relation with the new orthographic dictionary. Phonetic, morphological, syntactical and etymological aspects led to the establishment of a system of rules in the Romanian writing language that can be easily learned and applied. Last year appeared the third edition of the orthographic dictionary regulating current writing. The Orthographic, Orthoepic and Morphological Dictionary of the Romanian Language (DOOM) adapts the writing of Romanian to current requirements, even if some double variants and also linguistic uncertainties are still present. The frequency of errors in today‘s press shows that publishers and journalists show a lack of professionalism, promoting media products of questionable quality, as well as the lack of trust in such valid tools that can improve correct writing.
China and the May Fourth Movement 1919. The Reassessment of Confucianism
Authors: Vereş Diana-Elena
Published: July 2024

The beginning of the 20th century brought great economic, political and cultural challenges to China after the collapse of the Qing dynasty. A crucial moment was the May Fourth Revolution, a cultural and anti-imperialist movement initiated by Beijing university students who challenged the poor representation of China’s national interests at the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. This treaty ceded Shandong province, which had been under German control, to Japan. This research aims to analyse the characteristics, stages and evolution of this movement in the national and international context of the time, as well as its influence on Confucian philosophy in modern China.

Reading advertising images - a complex semiotic process1
Authors: Ionaş Anda
Published: July 2024

On an intentional level, reading advertising images is a guided reading. The potential buyer is guided towards an already constituted meaning that needs to be decoded. Over time, advertising has evolved from referential advertising, which presents the advantages of purchasing a product or service, to allegorical advertising, which uses subversive techniques, appealing to a series of elaborate social codes or archetypal invariants, with an effect on the buyer‘s subconscious. Today, the connotative value of the advertising image becomes even more important than the denotative one. Its original purpose is hijacked by the complexity of the phenomenon, because advertising does not just sell products, but images of the world, with a pronounced self-referential character.
Nietzsche and Cinema: Cinematography as an Expression of Unity between Apollonian and Dionysian Impulses
Authors: Radu Cristian
Published: July 2024

The following article analyzes the process of filmmaking through the framework of Friedrich Nietzsche’s Apollonian-Dionysian dichotomy. Specifically, it centers on cinema as an example of the interplay of both Apollonian and Dionysian impulses. The first half of the article provides a definition of Nietzsche’s dichotomy and two descriptions of Apollonian-Dionysian unities as cultural tendencies and artistic elements. The second half of the article examines how key aspects of the movie production process embody either Apollonian or Dionysian elements. Additionally, a case study of the film Pan’s Labyrinth is employed to exemplify these concepts in a movie experience.
Gods and Idols. Representations and Symbolizations of the Divinity in the Religions of Ancient Israel (IIa). Idolatry and Iconoclasm
Authors: Grozea Lucian
Published: July 2024

This article represents the first section of the second part of the study Gods and Idols. Representations and Symbolizations of the Divinity in the Religions of Ancient Israel. The subjects addressed for analysis are idolatry and iconoclasm in the context of Levantine iconography, seen from the perspective of the biblical authors, a totally tendentious, aggressive and contrary vision, in particular, to the archaeological discoveries. The Hebrew lexical fund of the MT was very rich and, later, almost doubled by the Greek version of the Old Testament text translated into the LXX (Septuagint) translation, regarding the denomination of foreign gods, idols and other representations. However, the “de facto tradition” of the Israelites contained a plastic iconography, idolatry and iconoclasm being phenomena that appeared in the post-exile period and called by scientific research “programmatic tradition”.
Consistency and Some Other Requirements of a Formal Theory in the Context of Multiverse Models
Authors: Karpenko Ivan
Published: July 2024

The paper is devoted to the problem of describing reality in the language of mathematics and logic in connection with intellectual intuition. The question raised is how the basic requirements of mathematical theory and logic will change if some of the multiverse models of modern physics are taken as the basis. Mathematics is considered in the context of various historical approaches. It is shown that some of the well-known requirements of a formal theory (such as consistency) may begin to play a different role if the multiverse hypothesis is accepted. In the framework of theories based on the idea of multiple worlds, the logical consequence, the natural law of Duns Scotus, the law of excluded middle, and other well-known facts of classical logic which in some cases cause controversy due to their intuitive unacceptability are resolved. The paper discusses an approach based on paraconsistent logics: such logics can be considered the first to correspond to multiverse theories.

SOX4 expression in cancer: Insights from developmental regulation and deregulation in tumorigenesis
Authors: Arora Surbhi , Godha Meena , Lohiya Nirmal Kumar , Jagadish Nirmala
Published: July 2024

The burden of cancer is on a rapid rise globally. Deregulated gene expression profiles may lead to the development of cancer. Master regulators are the regulatory checkpoints that define and control the intricate networks of gene and protein interactions that make up cell physiology. The molecular programs that generate particular cellular phenotypes depend on master regulators. SOX4 gene is a master regulator that controls the expression of other genes responsible for tumorigenesis and plays a crucial role in multiple signaling pathways. The expression of SOX4 is upregulated in various malignancies. Increased proliferation of cancer cells, survival, apoptosis, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition leading to metastasis have all been linked to SOX4 expression in cancer. Elevated levels of SOX4 also possess a correlation with poor prognosis in various cancer types. Recently, SOX4 has surfaced as a possible target for cancer therapeutics. Furthermore, it has been shown that targeting SOX4 could inhibit tumor growth and enhance the efficacy of conventional cancer therapies. The present review summarizes the current status of SOX4 in the initiation and progression of various human cancers.
Two Sides of The Same Coin in The Russia-Israel Relations: Conflict And Cooperation
Authors: Turan Ahmet
Published: July 2024

One of the important components of Russian foreign policy is its relations with Israel. Since the establishment of Israel in 1948, Russia has attached great importance to its relations with this country. There are various areas of cooperation and conflict in the relations between the two countries. It is a reflection of the Kremlin’s traditional pragmatist policy that Russia strives to maintain cooperation with Israel despite having different interests in many areas. The aim of this study is to examine the ongoing conflict and cooperation in Russia’s relations with Israel and to answer the question of how Moscow has managed to maintain both forms of relations in the same period. In this context, the study examines the parameters around which conflict and cooperation initiatives have developed in bilateral relations. Moscow’s Iran and Palestine policies “despite Israel”, as well as its links with Hamas and Hezbollah, represent the conflict dimension of bilateral relations. The other side of the coin is the areas of cooperation between the two countries. An important factor that catalyzes cooperation, especially in security-oriented policies, is the Russian diaspora in Israel. In this direction, content analysis, one of the scientific research methods, was used in this study, and discourse analysis was also used from time to time. In addition to academic publications examining the issue in question, the study draws on leaders statements, historical records and official foreign policy documents.

В статье приведены результаты исследований по установлению оптимального уровня раздоя молодых кобыл русской тяжеловозной породы. Увеличение молочной продуктивности кобыл и продление сроков их хозяйственного использования зависит от многих факторов, в том числе и от уровня продуктивности кобыл за первую лактацию. Интенсивный раздой кобыл во время первой лактации может стать причиной сокращения сроков их хозяйственного использования из-за больших нагрузок на развивающийся неокрепший организм животных. В результате исследований было установлено, что раздой кобыл русской тяжеловозной породы по первой лактации до уровня от 4000 кг до 5000 кг молока способствует наибольшей продолжительности их хозяйственного использования, получению наибольшего пожизненного удоя и количества молочного жира и молочного белка.

The article presents the results of studies to find out the optimal level of milking of young mares of the Russian Heavy Draft breed. An increase in the milk production of mares and an extension of their economic use depends on many factors, including the level of mare productivity for the first lactation. Intensive first milking during the first lactation can cause a reduction in the time of their use due to the large loads on the developing immature animal organism. As a result of studies, it was found that the mating of Russian Heavy Draft mares in the first lactation to a level of from 4000 kg to 5000 kg of milk contributes to the longest duration of their economic use, to obtain the greatest lifelong milk yield and the amount of milk fat and milk protein.

Установлено, что отталкивание производится путем резкого разгибания всех суставов тазовых конечностей, сильного сгибания шеи, которые рефлекторно связаны со сгибанием грудных конечностей (когда они не являются опорными) и способствует скорейшему переносу центра тяжести через препятствие. При оценке прыжка основное внимание следует уделять определению степени сгибания запястных суставов. В тоже время необходимо учесть, что «ключом» к хорошему подбору передней конечности является, прежде всего, сгибание плечевого сустава. Вследствие наличия упоминавшихся мышечно-сухожильных цепей, эффективное сгибание в локте при разогнутом плече затруднительно, а недостаточно согнутый локоть ограничивает сгибание запястного сустава. Зато сильное сгибание в плечевом суставе автоматически обеспечивает максимальное сгибание локтевого сустава, поскольку работает двуглавая мышца плеча, имеющая мощное сухожилие.

It has been determined that repulsion is carried out by sharply straightening of all the joints of pelvic limbs, strong bending of the neck, which are reflexively associated with bending of thoracic limbs (when they are not supporting) and contributes to rapid transfer of center of gravity through the obstacle. When assessing a jump, the main focus should be made on determining the degree of the carpal joints flexion. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account that the “key” to good selection of the forelimb is, first of all, flexion of shoulder joint. Due to presence of the mentioned muscle-tendon chains, efficient bending in the elbow when the shoulder is bent is difficult, and an insufficiently bent elbow limits bending of the carpal joint. But strong flexion in the shoulder joint automatically ensures maximum flexion of the elbow joint, since the biceps muscle of the shoulder works, which has a powerful tendon.

Проведен анализ экстерьерных и спортивных качеств молодняка ганноверских лошадей, испытанных в возрасте 2-3 лет. На основе анализа проведена сравнительная характеристика жеребцов-производителей. Наилучшие результаты при оценке по типу были выявлены у потомков жеребцов Ватерпринца, Вольфрама, Вазензее, Герольда, Воятеля, Грандвилли и Чикаго. При оценке двигательных качеств лучшие результаты показали потомки Водолея, Вазензее, Ванадия, Воятеля и Ватерпринца. По оценке прыжковых качеств потомков лучшим стал жеребец линии Ферро хх - Феодал. В результате исследований было выявлено три группы производителей, дающих потомков: с развитыми двигательными качествами; с мощным гибким прыжком; с высоким уровнем развития как двигательных, так и прыжковых качеств.

The confirmation and sports qualities of young Hanoverian horses tested in 2-3 years are analyzed. Based on the analysis, a comparative characteristic of stallions is given. The best results in the evaluation of the type was revealed in descendants of the stllions Waterprinz, Wolfram, Wazensee, He told, Voyatel’, Grandville and Chicago. According to the evaluation results, the best motor qualities are possessed by the descendants of Vodevil’, Wazensse, Vanadij, Voyatel’ and Waterprinz. According to the results of evaluation of jump qualities of descendants, the best stallion of the Ferro c.f. line - Feodal. As a results of research, three groups of stallions giving offspring were identified: with developed motor qualities; with a powerful flexible jump; with a high level of development of both motor and jump qualities.

Белые отметины - нежелательный доместикационный признак у аборигенной вятской породы лошадей, свидетельствующий о влиянии заводских пород. Наличие белых отметин выявлено у 39,9% вятских жеребцов. Наибольшая доля отметин встречается на голове (59,8%). Белизна на левой задней ноге (13,1%) отмечена чаще, чем на правой (2,3%) и на обеих задних (4,6%). Наибольшая доля вяток с белыми отметинами выявлена среди каурых особей (75%), а наибольшая доля лошадей без белых отметин - у гнедо-саврасых (68,1%). В группе особей, имеющих в генотипе рецессивный аллель Extension, доля животных с белыми отметинами составила 42,9%, среди гомозиготных по ЕЕ - 64,7%. Ощутимого влияния Dun-фактора на депигментацию участков не выявлено. По результатам исследований разработана шкала поправок, снижающих оценку бонитировки за тип в зависимости от отметин лошадей.

White markings are an undesirable domestication sign in the native Vyatka horse breed, indicating the influence of stud breeds. The presence of white markings was found in 39.9% of Vyatka stallions. The largest proportion of markings is found on the head (59.8%). Whiteness on the left hind leg (13.1%) is noted more often than on the right (2.3%) and on both hind legs (4.6%). The largest proportion of white-marked horses was found among chestnut individuals (75%), and the largest proportion of horses without white markings was found in bay-roans (68.1%). In the group of individuals with the recessive allele Extension in the genotype, the proportion of animals with white markings was 42.9%, among homozygous on EE - 64.7%. There was no significant influence of the Dun factor on the depigmentation of the sites. Based on the results of research, a scale of corrections has been developed that reduce the assessment of the type of bonus depending on the horse markings.
