"The Development of the Hate Speech Regulation in Hungary: from Criminal Law to Civil Law and Media Regulation"
Authors: Gárdos-Orosz Fruzsina , Nagy Krisztina
Published: February 2020

In the Hungarian legal system, the anti-hate speech rules of media law provide an ad-ditional (administrative) proceeding for the media authority in parallel with proceedings under criminal law and civil law. The media authorities, over the past twenty years, have consistently set media law sanctions at a lower intervention threshold than criminal law did, and in many cases, they established media law violation in cases where criminal proceedings for incitement against a community were not initiated or ended in acquittal. The fundamental aim of media law regulation is to shape media content and the edit-ing practices of media players with a view to ensure respect for human dignity, and to prevent media from becoming an ‘amplifier’ of hateful communications. In the first four-teen years of the Hungarian media regulation, the scope of interpretation concerning anti-hate speech media law restrictions developed gradually. The authority reacted not only to individual cases, and individual communications, but also carried out targeted investigations in cases that can be described as a phenomenon in the media coverage. Besides reviewing news and information programmes, it also acted against hateful con-tents of the entertainment programmes. The new media regulation, which entered into force in 2011, partially amended the content of the former anti-hate speech regulation: in addition to the provisions of “incitement to hatred”, the former category of “offending or prejudiced content” was replaced by the prohibition of “exclusion”. The practice of the media authority has not changed as regards the assessment of the media law standard, as the authority has continued to apply it differently from the criminal law standard, con-sidering it as a lower intervention threshold. However, in comparison with pre-2010 practice, the authority initiated considerably fewer proceedings and its approach in terms of law enforcement became less characterised by adjudicating problems that can be de-scribed as phenomenon in the media coverage, no targeted proceedings of this kind were initiated. Its practice can be characterised by a couple of high profile cases with extreme sanctions, which attract great attention. These cases are important as they designate the boundaries of public communications, but in this way, media law measures are not really suitable for making any substantial changes to the characteristics of the media coverage.
Freedom of Speech in the Face of Terrorism – Selected International Law Regulations
Authors: Kowalska Samanta
Published: February 2020

The essay presents freedom of speech from the perspective of international law regula-tions. The phenomenon of terrorism is one of the most asymmetrical, amorphous and hybrid threats to international security and human rights. The author discusses freedom of speech in the context of anti-terrorism measures. Freedom of speech is a legal and axiological framework of democratic society. The media constitute an important source of information about social pathologies and threats. Terrorists use the media to depreci-ate the law and the state, and to generate chronic fear in society. The essay stresses the fact that a rational and informed approach to human rights should serve as a reference point for anti-terrorism. However, one cannot limit individual freedom in an arbitrary way. Public discourse helps reach an objective perception. This prevents the creation of a multiplied image, pseudo-reality and “double standards” for freedom of speech.

A brand is simply a product or service, which can be distinguished from its competitors. Successful brands are those meet the needs and aspirations of a defined target market. Financial markets increasingly recognize that intangible rather than tangible assets are the primary source for corporate value. Tangible product features can be rapidly copied. Intangible features cannot. They create emotional barriers to competition and sustainable, long-term advantage. Most tangible assets have finite lives. But brands, if well managed, can be timeless. Brands have the power to influence consumer demand, trade distribution, staff loyalty, supplier terms and investor sentiment, transforming business performance and financial returns. But while corporate assets may be increasingly “intangible” their performance needs to be rigorously measured. Financial accountability is paramount and return on brand investment is becoming a critical issue for the board and finance director. Brand finance specializes in understanding, measuring, managing and exploiting Brands. The aim of this study is to explain Brand Equity, Brand Valuation, Brand Strategy that are the elements of Brand Measurement

PURCHASING POWER PARITY IN THE 1920S: A REASSESSMENT USING EFFICIENT UNIT ROOT TESTS
Authors: ÇELİK Sadullah
Published: February 2020

1990’larda ekonomistlerin taşıdığı inanış “satınalma gücü paritesi sadece uzun dönemde geçerli olan bir teoridir” şeklindeydi. Bu görüş uluslararası iktisat literatürün önemli bir teorisi olan satınalma gücü paritesine olan ilgiyi belirli ölçüde azalttı. Ancak son bir kaç yılda yapılan araştırmalar ve yayınlar satınalma gücü paritesinin kısa dönemde de geçerli olabileceğini (en azından gelişmiş ülkelerde) 1973 ’ten beri uygulamada olan dalgalı kur rejimi için göstermektedir. Bu sonuca değişik bir döneme uygulayarak genelleştirmek mümkün olabilir mi? Bu çalışma yeni geliştirilmiş tekdeğişimli verimli birim kök testleri kullanarak satınalma gücü paritesinin gerçek bir dalgalı kar rejimi olan 1920’lerde ve daha kısa bir dönem için doğruluğunu göstermektedir.
Effective board management and good corporate performance in nigerian public liability companies
Authors: Ugoani John Nkeobuna Nnah
Published: February 2020

The need for effective board management and good corporate performance lies at the heart of good corporate governance theory because as the agency theory contends the managers’ interest and the interest of shareholders are not almost always the same. Good corporate performance is the basis of the business as reflected through enhanced shareholder value measured by return on investment, return on assets or return on equity. Effective board management necessary for good corporate performance requires significant dose of emotional intelligence competencies such as integrity, transparency and loyalty. Such will ensure that the board of directors exercises internal control through effective monitoring roles aimed at protecting shareholders’ interest as contemplated by the principles of good corporate governance. Ninety seven individuals participated in the study conducted through the exploratory research design. Data were analyzed through descriptive and regression statistical techniques and it was found that effective board management has significant positive correlation with good corporate performance. There is need for more understanding in this area, therefore further study could examine the relationship between corporate fraud and incessant bank failures in Nigeria despite various regulatory interventions. Consequent on the result of this study, it was suggested that the appointment of members of the board of directors of public liability companies in Nigeria must not be done without consideration to relevant experience.
Feasibility analysis of design for remanufacturing in bearing using hybrid fuzzy-topsis and taguchi optimization
Authors: Fegade Vishal , Shrivastava Kshitij , Kale A. V. , Shrivastava R. L.
Published: February 2020

The tremendous advancement in technology, productivity and improved standard of living has come at the cost of environmental deterioration, increased energy and raw material consumption. In this regard, remanufacturing is viable option to reduce energy usage, carbon footprint and raw material usage. In this manuscript, using computational intelligence techniques we try to determine the feasibility of remanufacturing in case of roller bearings. We collected used N308 bearings from 5 different Indian cities. Using Fuzzy-TOPSIS, we found that the roundness, surface roughness and weight play a vital role in design for remanufacturing of roller bearings. Change in diameter, change in thickness and change in width showed minimal influence.  We also used Taguchi analysis to reassess the problem. The roundness of inner and outer race was found to be the most influential parameters in deciding the selection of bearing for remanufacturing. The results suggest the bearing designer to design the bearing in such a way that roundness of both races will be taken cared while manufacturing a bearing. However, using Taguchi the weight of the rollers was found to be of least influence. Overall, the predictions of Taguchi analysis were found to be similar to Fuzzy-TOPSIS analysis.

Authors: Lammoglia José Antonio de Miranda , Brandalise Nilson , Hernandez Cecilia Toledo
Published: February 2020

The scenario of global competitiveness demands more and more of the organizations the search for continuous improvement. For survival, in the face of adverse market conditions, modern production management strategies are essential to make production processes increasingly efficient, lean and sustainable, minimizing losses in their production systems. In this sense, when thinking about changes in production lines, in search of improvements in their process, criteria that provide Benefits, Opportunities, Costs and Risks (BOCR) should be considered. In this way, managers and executives should rely on tools and methods that allow them to guide their decisions in a clear way. The objective of this work is to apply a method of Decision Making with Multiple Criteria to the alternatives of investment projects in production lines in Lean Manufacturing concept. As a general result, it was possible to observe the applicability of the AHP BOCR method for the decision-making case involving several criteria and subcriteria for choosing the Lean investment project in the steel environment, the preferred alternative being the discontinuity of the production line 1 and the absorption of their respective production volume by production lines 2 and 3 through investments in them.
A allele of ICAM-1 rs5498 and VCAM-1 rs3181092 is correlated with increased risk for periodontal disease
Authors: Sun Qijun , Zhang Zongxin , Ou Yuejian
Published: February 2020

Objective

Periodontal disease (PD) is viewed today as multifactorial problems initiated and sustained by bacteria but significantly modified by the body’s response to bacterial plaque. Recent studies have suggested that gene polymorphisms could be involved in the pathophysiology of periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate a possible correlation of the polymorphisms of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) with PD.

Methods

The genotypes of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were initially determined in PD patients using denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). ELISA was then conducted to measure ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 protein levels. Next, the association of ICAM-1/VCAM-1 genotype distribution and expression with clinical indicators and severity of PD was analyzed.

Results

PD patients contained increased levels of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), increased ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 protein levels, and decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level. The GG genotype and G allele at ICAM-1 rs5498, as well as the AG and GG genotypes and G allele at VCAM-1 rs3181092 may reduce PD risk.

Conclusion

To sum up, the overexpressed ICAM-1 and VCA M-1 as well as A allele of ICAM-1 rs5498 and VCAM-1 rs3181092 is associated with the onset of PD.
Clinical reasoning performance assessment: using situated cognition theory as a conceptual framework
Authors: Rencic Joseph , Schuwirth Lambert W.T. , Gruppen Larry D. , Durning Steven J.
Published: February 2020

Developing valid assessment approaches to clinical reasoning performance has been challenging. Situated cognition theory posits that cognition (e.g. clinical reasoning) emerges from interactions between the clinician and situational (contextual) factors and recognizes an opportunity to gain deeper insights into clinical reasoning performance and its assessment through the study of these interactions. The authors apply situated cognition theory to develop a conceptual model to better understand the assessment of clinical reasoning. The model highlights how the interactions between six contextual factors, including assessee, patient, rater, and environment, assessment method, and task, can impact the outcomes of clinical reasoning performance assessment. Exploring the impact of these interactions can provide insights into the nature of clinical reasoning and its assessment. Three significant implications of this model are: (1) credible clinical reasoning performance assessment requires broad sampling of learners by expert raters in diverse workplace-based contexts; (2) contextual factors should be more explicitly defined and explored; and (3) non-linear statistical models are at times necessary to reveal the complex interactions that can impact clinical reasoning performance assessment.

The memory of judgment: The Holocaust, witnesses and mediocrity in William Gass’sMiddle C
Authors: Fang Fan , Gao Zhixiang
Published: February 2020

The memory of judgment and the Holocaust is of great interest in postmodernists’ writings. The relationship between postmodernism and the Holocaust is always paradoxically juxtaposed. William Gass, an American postmodern writer and critic, touches the topic of the Holocaust in his masterpieceMiddle C(2013). Gass tends to trivialize fascism to every man and every ordinary life, to disrespect the “sacred”. The novel has the skill in faking the identity or the details of its putative history. Is the Holocaust a subcategory of war crimes or the inhumanity of genocide? Is there any reliable way of establishing the reality of the Holocaust either through the memory of groups or individuals? Are genocide and occasional or no systematic atrocities the inevitability of a state? In this paper, we tend to explore the collective memory and individual memory of witnesses of the Holocaust presented inMiddle Cand the puzzlement of judgment as a war crime or inhuman genocide, thus arguing the ethos of history and shock of mediocrity in our daily life.
Practical Solutions: Genealogy and the Potential of Public Pedagogy in Poland
Authors: Jurczyk-Romanowska Ewa
Published: February 2020

The article deals with the development of genealogy in Poland, indicates its interdisciplinary character, as well as the socio-political context of its development. In particular, the possibility of using the genealogical passion of older people as a motivating factor to undertake education in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) was highlighted. As an example of good practice, the assumptions and preliminary conclusions of the research carried out within the Learning Tree project, which was implemented in Poland, Turkey and Italy, are presented. On the basis of the research it is stated that genealogy can be a factor encouraging the adoption of computer education by seniors, and consequently contribute to reducing the level of digital exclusion of older people by increasing their participation in the information society.
Testing Market Power and Welfare Effects in the US Catfish Industry
Authors: Nguyen Giap V. , Jolly Curtis M. , Nguyen Thong T.
Published: February 2020

An empirical specification of the conjectural variations model, which conforms to microeconomic theory, is estimated for the US catfish industry. We find the existence of market power exerted by US catfish processors. Processors force the price paid to catfish growers down by 52.88 cent per pound of live catfish, which costs US catfish growers about $300 million a year. US catfish growers can deter the negative effects of processors’ market power by increasing their farm supply flexibility. Further studies are needed to address the dynamics and competitive game strategies in the US catfish industry.

Published: February 2020

The sensing of different liquids is investigated with micro-ring resonator (MRR) sensor by changing refractive index (RI) of chemical solutions. Aniline, carbon disulphide, chlorobenzene, chloroform, ethanol, glycerin, and methanol are detected using the proposed MRR. The developed structures are simulated using finite difference-time domain (FDTD) by using DFT analyzer of optical field. The normalized amplitude vs. wavelength is measured by changing RI of inner ring waveguide that obtain liquid sensor with high sensitivity.
Emphatic consonants beyond Arabic: The emergence and proliferation of uvular-pharyngeal emphasis in Kumzari
Authors: Anonby Erik
Published: February 2020

The complex and cross-linguistically uncommon phonological phenomenon of “emphasis” is best known from Central Semitic languages such as Arabic and Aramaic. It is, however, found to varying degrees in a number of non-Semitic languages in contact with Arabic. This paper describes how in Kumzari, an Indo-European language spoken around the Strait of Hormuz, uvular-pharyngeal emphasis has arisen through language contact and has proliferated through language-internal processes. Beginning with the retention of emphatic consonants in a direct, extensive lexification by Arabic dating back at least 1300 years, emphasis has progressively penetrated the language by means of lexical innovations and two types of sound changes in both borrowed and inherited vocabulary: (i) analogical spread of emphasis onto plain but potentially emphatic consonants; and (ii) a sound change in whichzhas been invariably recast as an emphaticẓwith no plain counterpart. The role of the back consonantsw,x,qandḥ, which induce emphasis on potentially emphatic consonants in diachronic processes but not synchronically, highlights the unique way in which this complex phenomenon operates in one non-Semitic language in contact with Arabic.
Continuous and discontinuous nominal expressions in flexible (or “free”) word order languages: Patterns and correlates
Authors: Reinöhl Uta
Published: February 2020

This study explores continuous and discontinuous word order patterns of multi-word nominal expressions in flexible word order languages (traditionally referred to as “free word order” or “non-configurational” languages). Besides describing syntagmatic patterns, this paper seeks to identify any functional or other correlates that can be associated with different word orders. The languages under investigation are a number of Australian languages as well as Vedic Sanskrit, all of which have long been known for their syntagmatic flexibility. With respect to continuous order, evidence from several of these languages suggests that default ordering is primarily governed by functional templates. Deviations from default order, while maintaining continuity, can be attributed to different types of “focus” interpretations or heaviness effects. With respect to discontinuous order, I identify three sub-types. The most widespread one, “Left-Edge Discontinuity”, involves one element placed in or near utterance-initial position. It shows a clear, if not an absolute, correlation with different kinds of focus interpretations, similarly to deviations from the default order in continuity. The other two types of discontinuity are linked to the behaviour of specific function words. Besides teasing out cross-linguistic similarities, this paper also sheds light on language-specific characteristics that affect the forms and functions of complex (i.e. multi-word) nominal expressions in flexible word order languages, such as the nature of 2nd position (“Wackernagel”) elements.

Development of voice onset time in an ongoing phonetic differentiation in Austrian German plosives: Reversing a near-merger
Authors: Luef Eva Maria
Published: February 2020

Sound change in the form of plosive mergers has been reported for a variety of languages and is the result of a reduction of phonetic distance between two (or more) sounds. The present study is concerned with the opposite development of phonetic differentiation in plosives (akin to a phonetic split), a less commonly reported phenomenon that is taking place in Austrian German at the moment. A previously small (or null) phonetic distinction between fortis and lenis plosives – a presumed near-merger – is gradually developing into a clear phonetic contrast in younger speakers. In the present study, voice onset time of word-initial plosives was measured in two generations of Austrian speakers (born in the middle and at the end of the 20th century), yielding an ongoing phonetic differentiation where the voice onset time of lenis consonants is shortened while, at the same time, that of fortis consonants is lengthened. These results present an insight into the recent diachronic development of Austrian German and the changes in plosive production that are currently taking place.

O3 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) and substituted by Al are synthesised using sol–gel auto-combustion. The materials are sintered at 500 °C for 5 h. In the ongoing study, the crystal structure of BiAl
x
Fe1−x
O3 was investigated by X-ray diffraction. After confirming the rhombohedral single-phase crystal structure, various characterisation techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, elemental mapping images, electrical properties, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), were used to investigate the synthesised samples. The grain size estimated from SEM images decreased as Al contents increased. Elemental composition was confirmed by EDX spectra. Direct current electrical resistivity increased whereas drift mobility decreased with increasing Al contents. The VSM results of Al-doped BiFeO3 (BFO) demonstrate that BFO crystals with size >60 nm show anti-ferromagnetic behaviour, which is evident in the present study. The increase in Al doping results in an increase in coercivity, as grain size and coercivity are inversely related with each other. This is because of the replacement of Fe3+ by Al3+ ions, which weakens the sub-lattice interactions. It has been observed that BFO materials with such parameters are favourable for ferroelectric random access memories where data can be written electrically and read magnetically.
Heat and Mass Transfer of Temperature-Dependent Viscosity Models in a Pipe: Effects of Thermal Radiation and Heat Generation
Authors: Ahmad Fayyaz , Nazeer Mubbashar , Saeed Mubashara , Saleem Adila , Ali Waqas
Published: February 2020

In this paper, a study of the flow of Eyring-Powell (EP) fluid in an infinite circular long pipe under the consideration of heat generation and thermal radiation is considered. It is assumed that the viscosity of the fluid is an exponential function of the temperature of the fluid. The flow of fluid depends on many variables, such as the physical property of each phase and shape of solid particles. To convert the given governing equations into dimensionless form, the dimensionless quantities have been used and the resultant boundary value problem is solved for the calculation of velocity and temperature fields. The analytical solutions of velocity and temperature are calculated with the help of the perturbation method. The effects of the fluidic parameters on velocity and temperature are discussed in detail. Finite difference method is employed to find the numerical solutions and compared with the analytical solution. The magnitude error in velocity and temperature is obtained in each case of the viscosity model and plotted against the radius of the pipe. Graphs are plotted to describe the influence of various parameter EP parameters, heat generation parameter and thermal radiation parameters against velocity and temperature profiles. The fluid temperature has decreasing and increasing trends with respect to radiation and heat generations parameters, respectively.

Solvothermal reaction of a copper salt, racemic aspartic acid (AspH3), and 1,2,4-triazole (TaH) leads to a nanoporous copper aspartate, Cu4(Asp)2(Ta)2(H2O)2 · 2H2O (1). The compound was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, and the structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Pairs of l-Asp3− and d-Asp3− ligands in unprecedented μ
4-1,2κO:3,4κOκN coordination modes chelate pairs of adjacent copper cations to form a centrosymmetric 8n-membered rectangular pipe, and these pipes are further bridged by copper cations in four directions of the bc plane to form a 3D porous structure with approximately rectangular channels of  ~ 5 × 10 Å2 along the crystallographic a-axis. Along the corners of the rectangular channels, each Ta− ligand connects three adjacent copper cations in a μ
3 coordination mode to form the final 3D porous framework with relatively large rectangular channels of  ~ 2 × 8 Å2 along the a-axis. Water molecules reside in these large channels. The thermal stability and solid-state photoluminescence properties of the title compound are also investigated.

Published: February 2020

The performance of free-standing parallel-aligned nanowire arrays and interconnected networks of single-crystalline cuprous oxide (Cu2O) coated with titanium oxide (TiO2) as photocathodes for solar energy harvesting was analyzed. The nanostructures were synthesized by electrodeposition in polymer membranes prepared by ion-track technology. To enhance the photoelectrochemical stability of the nanowires in aqueous solution, they were conformally coated with a 10 nm thick TiO2 layer by atomic layer deposition. The diameter, size, geometry and number density of the parallel nanowires were systematically varied. The generated photocurrents show a clear increase as a function of wire diameter and wire number. In turn, the photocurrent does not get larger with increasing wire length. Highly interconnected networks of nanowires under 45° from various directions enabled further increase of wire density number and exhibited higher photocurrent densities compared to parallel arrays.

Виокремлено рівні прояву творчого розвитку особистості: низький рівень (не вірить у власні можливості, не бажає брати участь в різноманітних видах навчальної та позанавчальної творчої діяльності, інертний до участі в роботі творчих обʼєднань); середній рівень (сумнівається у своїх можливостях, потребує додаткових стимулів при ініціюванні творчої актив­нос­ті, не наважується брати творчу ініціативу на себе); високий рівень (бере активну участь в різно­манітних видах навчальної та позанавчальної творчої діяльності; є ініціатором, здатний на створення широкого спектра самостійних задумів, знаходить нестандартні шляхи і втілює їх у самостійні проекти). Розроблено механізм реалізації моделі освітнього середовища вузу щодо поетапного під­вищення рівня прояву творчого розвитку особистості. Постановка і вирішення проблеми пошуку можливостей освітнього середовища вузу для розвитку обдарованої особистості сприяє реалізації ідей особистісно орієнтованої психології; сконструйована модель освітнього середовища вузу, спрямована на розвиток обдарованої особистості, і  адекватний механізм її реалізації в освітньому процесі вузу відповідає положенням нової парадигми освіти, вносить певний внесок у теорію розвитку особистості.

Alternative Modernity of the Princely states- Evaluating the Architecture of Sayajirao Gaekwad of Baroda
Authors: Niyati Jigyasu
Published: February 2020

The first half of the 20th century was a turning point in the history of India with provincial rulers making significant development that had positive contribution and lasting influence on India’s growth. They served as architects, influencing not only the socio-cultural and economic growth but also the development of urban built form. Sayajirao Gaekwad III was the Maharaja of Baroda State from 1875 to 1939, and is notably remembered for his reforms. His pursuit for education led to establishment of Maharaja Sayajirao University and the Central Library that are unique examples of Architecture and structural systems. He brought many known architects from around the world to Baroda including Major Charles Mant, Robert Chrisholm and Charles Frederick Stevens. The proposals of the urban planner Patrick Geddes led to vital changes in the urban form of the core city area. New materials and technology introduced by these architects such as use of Belgium glass in the flooring of the central library for introducing natural light were revolutionary for that period. Sayajirao’s vision for water works, legal systems, market enterprises have all been translated into unique architectural heritage of the 20th century which signifies innovations that had a lasting influence on the city’s social, economic, administrative structure as well as built form of the city and its architecture. This paper demonstrates how the reformist ideas and vision of an erstwhile provincial ruler lead to significant architecture at the turn of the century in Princely state of Vadodara.

Published: February 2020

Water is an important natural resource which is becoming scarcer day by day. Conservation of water and exploring alternative sources is therefore important in the given context. The present paper addresses the issue of water sensitive development on a regional scale and tries to suggest skeletal guidelines for an action plan to be implemented as a part of national policy. Also the paper aims to look at the entire profile of the rural base and adjoining urban areas along withthe socio-economic characteristics, habitat conditions, settlement pattern, materials and technology incorporated for construction, successful case studies of revival of a few traditional water harvesting systems, the neglect in recent times, water sensitive development of hamlets on a regional scale and the role of architecture and planning in water sensitive development. It also explores the principles and strategies of run -off quality and quantity management along with flood management and integrated design that highlights economic, environmental and social benefits of such development. The paper endeavors to emphasize the regional context in water sensitive development rather than a settlement specific context as it is a much holistic approach considering the local macro and micro climate, flora, fauna and the drainage pattern.

Seasonal dynamics of lawn coverages of Nikopol city (Dnepropetrovsk area)
Authors: Lisovets O. I. , Polischuk A. A.
Published: February 2020

The features of the seasonal dynamics of the species composition, the total projective cover, the ecomorphic structure and the decorative score of the lawn coverings of the city of Nikopol are studied. It was revealed that during the growing season, representatives of the Poaceae family dominate in the projective cover and species composition of grass communities in urban areas. In spring, the participation of Brassicaceae and Lamiaceae is increased, in summer and autumn – Fabaceae and Asteraceae. A study of the dynamics of the species composition showed that Poa angustifolia L. and Polygonum aviculare L. dominate in the majority of Nikopol's lawns in spring. In summer, Lolium perenne L. and Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. are added to them. In autumn, the most active are Lolium perenne and Poa pratensis L. Analysis of the seasonal dynamics of the total projective coverage of test areas showed that the average values ​​of this indicator are observed at the beginning of the growing season. In summer, the total area of ​​the green parts of the plants is reduced. At the end of the growing season, due to the increase in productive soil moisture, the photosynthetically active plant area increases significantly in areas with low anthropogenic impact, remains at summer levels in places of medium anthropogenic loading and significantly decreases in areas with high anthropogenic load. In the species composition, throughout the entire growing season in the biomorph spectrum, hemicryptophytes are the most active, among ecomorphs are xeromesophytes, mesotrophs, ruderants and stepants. Decorativeness is quite low, on a five-point scale, ranges from 2.23 to 3.49, due to the presence of weeds and high anthropogenic stress. In order to improve the decorative, phytomeliorative and hygienic properties of the grass cover, it is advisable to recommend systematic grass cutting (to reduce the activity of annual weeds), as well as the spread of perennial forest and meadow species.
The formation of the soil section by morphological characteristics in technosol of Semenivsko-Holovkivske lignite open-cut
Authors: Masiuk O. M.
Published: February 2020

Analysis of morphological descriptions of technosol sections indicates the following features of soil formation in technosol under common pine plantations. The particle-size composition in all variants depends above all on the composition of rocks, which form technosol. There is a color change in the upper layer of lithosol section, where the initial stage of humus formation and humus accumulation processes take place. The humus layer, which indicates the speed of these processes, is present only in the upper and lower third of the slope in 20-year-old common pine plantations and ranges from 7 cm in the upper to 10 cm in the lower third of the slope, which may be the result of flat erosion on the slope. There is no humus horizon in valley bottom, as  spring water stagnation occurs there, which caused the death of most of the plantings, which were the main source of organic matter entering the soil. The inhibition in the processes of humus formation under the plantations that develop on the upland occurs due to the low content of the dusty fraction. The formation of the soil structure was not observed in technosols formed from rocks with light particle-size composition (sandy loam and sand); on loamy variants, it passes intensively in the upper 10–15 cm layer, which contains most plant roots, worms and insects. The presence of a plate structure has a industry-related origin and is formed when heavy machinery passes through rocks with a high moisture content. An important indicator of the initial processes of soil formation is the decompression of technosols and the speed of this process. This process is the most quick under 23-year-old plantations on a upland, cultivated on rocks with light particle-size composition (the loose horizon is 80 cm), on a slope in a 20-year-old plantation on heavier rocks, this process is much slower (the loose horizon is about 7–10 cm). Brown coal, inclusions of carbonaceous clays, rippled and kaolin clays can be found among the inclusions. The number and composition of the inclusions depends on the nature of the rocks, which form tehnosol. The new growths of biological origin should be mentioned, among which there are biological capillaries, represented by root passages with a diameter of 4–7 mm, filled with soil material enriched with organic substances and ones with the diameter of 2–3 mm to 1 cm, filled with coprolites and soil mass. Thus, changes in technosols identified by morphological features depend on open-pit rocks which form the edaphotope, their composition and properties, on the quality of the technical stage of reclamation and on the terrain of the formed territory.

The relationships between the productivity of herbage as one of the structural elements of forest biogeocenosis with the nature of the formation and chemical composition of the forest litter and the activity of mouse-like rodents in linden and ash flood oak grove of Prysamar’ya were investigated. It was found that leaf-litter affects to the species composition and the degree of development of grass of investigated biogeocenose. It was revealed that the trophic removal of herbage phytomass by mouse-like rodents in the initial period of vegetation promotes its products. As a result, the above-ground herbage on rodent habitats increases by 1.2 times. The alienation of above-ground herbal phitomass in natural conditions under the influence of mouse-like rodents in the middle of the vegetation season increases in areas devoid of rodents’ influence by 1.05 times. It was found that in the final vegetation season, the above-ground herbage at the rodents’ exposure sites decreases by 1.3 times. It was investigated that the above-ground herbage for the whole vegetation season in the natural conditions of the flood oak grove was 115.4 g/m2, and in experimental areas, devoid of rodents’ exposure was 124.0 g/m2. Thus in the study biogeocenosis the value of herbage productivity was under the influence of mouse-like rodents and it reduced to 1.07 times during the whole growing period. In turn, the grass contributes to the increase in stocks of leaf-litter, ash elements including trace elements in forest litter. The quantitative proportion of herbaceous plants in leaf-litter and the chemical composition of grass in two synusias (wild chervil and starwort) were studied. It was revealed that the air-dry weight of the above-ground parts of herbage in synusia of wild chervil was higher than in synusia of starwort. It was determined that the accumulation degree of individual trace elements varies in different species of herbaceous plants. The maximum content of Mn, Pb and Cu more at wild chervil and Ti, Mo, V, Ni and Cr maximum contents were marked at starwort.
