Damage to potato tubers by cut worms in grain-grass root-crop rotation in the north-west of the Russian Federation
Authors: Smuk V. V.
Published: June 2024

The paper presents the results of long-term monitoring of potato tuber damage by caterpillars of cut worms and study of the factors determining it. The research was carried out in grain-grass root-crop rotation in the north-west of the Russian Federation. In recent years in the domestic and world scientific literature an increase in the pest rate of cut worms on potato plantings has been observed, therefore, it is relevant to identify the factors contributing to a significant limitation of damage to potato tubers by the caterpillars of cut worms. According to the results of the studies conducted in the period 2012–2022, it was determined that the damage to potato tubers by caterpillars of cut worms varies widely – from 0.5 to 15.9%. Weather conditions have the strongest influence on tuber damage by cut worms (influence share – 24.3%). The period from planting to flowering of potatoes is determinant, which is confirmed by statistical treatment (r= 0.65,p< 0.05). Increase of tuber damage by cut worms is promoted by hydrothermal conditions during this period, corresponding to the HTC 2.1–2.3, as well as weeding of plantings with perennial dicotyledonous species and some small perennial species. The influence of vegetative mass of the whole set of growing weed vegetation was expressed by a correlation coefficient equal to 0.14 (p< 0.05), including density and mass of perennial dicotyledonous species – 0.11 (p< 0.05) and 0.13 (p< 0.05). One of the factors that significantly reduce damage to potatoes by this pest is preplanting treatment of tubers with insectofungicides. In combination with the use of herbicides, it provided a 56.8% reduction in the proportion of tubers damaged by cut worm caterpillars in the harvested crop. At the same time, application of mineral fertilizers, change of the forecrop in crop rotation and cultivation of potato varieties with different resistance did not lead to a reliable decrease in damage of tubers by caterpillars of cut worms.

Rabies was registered among horses, domestic reindeer and dogs on the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in 2001– 2021. Rabies virus (Rabies lyssavirus) was detected in biomaterial from wild animals in Arctic foxes, red foxes, wolves, colts, ermine and sables. In the Arctic zone of Yakutia in 2023, rabies virus was isolated from a brain sample from one of the domestic reindeer of a herd showing clinical signs of severe agitation and aggression to humans. It is assumed that the reindeer was infected with rabies virus when bitten by a rabies-sick Arctic fox, as the range of distribution of these animals in the region is quite large. Rabies virus detection studies were conducted using polymerase chain reaction, enzyme immunoassay and fluorescent antibody method. The diagnosis of rabies was confirmed in all diagnostic tests. The nucleic acid fragments were isolated from the positive samples by the PCR method and their nucleotide sequences were determined. Analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the viral genome revealed phylogenetic relatedness of the isolated rabies virus isolate in the Arctic zone of Yakutia with the rabies viruses circulating in some areas of the North American continent, including Greenland (two isolates), Canada (six), and the United States (three). The isolate of the rabies virus from the brain of domestic reindeer in the Arctic zone of Yakutia belongs to the group of strains of American origin (USA1) and is phylogenetically close to the strains isolated in Greenland, Canada, and the USA. The studied virus isolate territorially corresponds to the known antigenic variant 3, established earlier in the north of the Asian part of Russia, in particular in Yakutia.
The сoncept of the national culture in German romanticism: Sourсes and historical background
Authors: Ivanitskiy A.
Published: June 2024

In Novalis’s works, the reaction of German Romanticism to the Enlightenment was civilizational: By the German world, both the French monarchy and Republic were viewed in a negative light. Thus, the Novalis’s philosophy developed the concept of national culture, which the movement “Storm and Onslaught”, led by J. G. Herder, opposed to French classicism of the 17th–18th centuries. According to Herder, the folk’s culture is formed through the psychological exploration of nature in myths and folklore, fixed in language. The “organic nature” of culture links folklore with the Middle Age and Modern poetry as the new forms of the dialogue with nature. This idea was consolidated by the figure of Faust, chosen by the Sturmers and Goethe as the hero of the “masterpiece” summarizing the national poetic path. Novalis elevated Catholicism to the cult of the earth, and the collective mind was connected with it by magic. He saw the institution of this union as an “ideal” Prussia where self-knowledge unites citizens, and the monarch unites the people and nature as an esoteric master. The French monarchy divided the people by cultivating selfishness. The prerequisites of this opinion were indicated by J. Le Goff and L. Karsavin who stated the existence of two types of cultures, which emerged as a result of the Roman conquest of Europe. For the national ones, who retained their languages and with them the connection with pre–Roman mythology and folklore, the introduced ancient norm and Christianity became forms of self-development. For the newly emerged unities west of the Rhine, they became the foundation of the cultural convention.
New facts from the biography of turkologist Ahmet Temir
Authors: Gilyazov I.
Published: June 2024

The article deals with new sources from the Archives of the Humboldt University in Berlin, which allow us to present in detail the defense procedure of the famous turkologist Ahmet Temir’s thesis. Ahmet Temir entered the University of Berlin in 1936 and studied there for nine semesters. His thesis was ready by the spring of 1941. In particular, the article presents what documents were submitted by the applicant to the university, what reviews were written on his thesis, and how he passed the oral examination. German researchers confirmed the high scientific quality of Akhmet Temir’s thesis, which, in their opinion, besides having a serious linguistic base, was also truly innovative research, deserving high praise and setting new trends in Turkology. This peer-reviewed study was supported by experienced scholars. The thesis was submitted for defense in the very first phase of World War II; so, the political and military events had an impact on the defense procedure, as well as on the prospect of the thesis publication, which was eventually published only long afterwards, in 1956. The procedure itself included two stages an oral examination and a public defense of the thesis and lasted for two whole years Ahmet Temir received his Ph.D. degree only in July 1943.
Eschatological myth in the novel works by E. Aipin
Authors: Larkovich D.
Published: June 2024

The article represents the experience of scientific reading of the novel works by the major Khanty prose writer E. Aipin from the perspective of mythopoetics. Witnessing the global changes at the turn of the 20th–21st centuries and being acutely aware of the crisis nature of the era, the writer introduces in his novels a number of eschatological myths, existing in the culture of the Khanty people and the cultures of other peoples, into the field of his interpretations. The author correlates the crisis phenomena inherent in the social consciousness of the millennium and expressed in environmental, socio-political and spiritual-moral shifts with the “eternal plots” of eschatological mythology, thereby bringing the eventual focuses of artistic narration to the level of general cultural and generally significant problems. The actualization of the eschatological context of Aipin’s novels is facilitated by the frequent use of concepts and artistic signs of catastrophic semantics: fire (“Khanty, or the Star of the Dawn”), death, destruction (“Mother of God in the Bloody Snows”), global flood (“In Search of the First Earth”), etc. In the process of the author’s understanding of the role and place of man in the modern world, there is an expansion of the scale of eschatological issues from novel to novel: from the ethnic to the universal level.
Good English boys. Constructing the gender and the national in British ghost stories
Authors: Lipinskaya A.
Published: June 2024

The article describes how gender and national aspects are constructed in late 19th–early 20th century British ghost stories. Both categories are seen within the context of the fearful Other so characteristic of the genre: deviations from the ideal of healthy British masculinity are perceived as potentially dangerous. It can be expressed as appearance of feminine or juvenile features gravitating towards heathen cults, and here gender is combined with the national: often a portion of non-British blood (e.g. Jewish or Italian) influences the choice of the particular cult and the way the protagonist’s appearance and manners change in the course of the narrative. All these phenomena are often complemented with the presence of animalistic features in the character, even if only metaphorically: any decline from masculinity and Christianity is perceived as a partial loss of humanity. Here, the influence of theories by Ch. Lombroso, M. Nordau, J. Fraser etc. is evident. But the authors of high quality stories (J. Buchan, A, Conan Doyle, E. F. Benson) do not preach these ideas straightforwarldly, they create original texts with quite ambivalent treatment of the topics discussed.
The myth of Russia in “Dialogues of the Dead” by Mikhail Muraviev
Authors: Pashkurov A.
Published: June 2024

This article focuses on the processes of development and change in the philosophical and rhetorical genre of “Dialogues...” in Russian literature of the last quarter of the 18th century. A given phenomenon goes back as far as the heritage of ancient thinkers; for instance, “Parallel Lives” by Plutarch was relevant to Russian writers of the years 1700-1800. Initially, under new conditions, the national writers were mostly interested in this genre by reason of the general problems of knowledge distribution as a metaphysical beginning of existence (A. Belobotsky, V. Tatitshev). By the last quarter of the 18th century, a key aspect of consideration had been shifted to the issues of a new personal education and the state and moral doctrine of Russia. Mikhail Muraviev (1757 - 1807) was a famous Russian literary man and enlightener, the founder of sentimentalism and pre-romanticism in national literary culture, a philosopher and historian. In the years 1780-1790, on a personal invitation of Empress Catherine the Second, he taught moral philosophy and history to her grandchildren – tsesareviches Alexander and Constantine. It was the period when “Dialogues of the Dead” were contemplated as part of the writer’s teaching activities. M. Muraviev’s central goal was to show two key ideas: the development of Russia in Modern Period and the development of a new educated person.

Using a well-known allusion technique, the writer chose symbolic figures of the world history and culture, transferred two contrasting characters to one period of time and turned them into interlocutors, holding a discussion. Moreover, Russian public figures of different epochs could meet both the leaders of the world historical and cultural process and each other. So far, “Dialogues of the Dead” by M. Muraviev have been studied fragmentarily in scientific research. The researchers’ attention has been focused mainly on the range of sources used by the writer, as well as on some language features, style and general moral ideas of the outstanding Russian enlightener. According to our hypothesis, the original “myth of Russia” is in the centre of this work. The distinguishing features of this phenomenon are: firstly, the synthesis of various spheres of socio-cultural life, from policy to literary culture; secondly, a clear correlation of “the state glory” phenomenon with conceptions of the internal moral creed both of the ruler of the state and every man in the country.
The image of Yemelyan Pugachev in Tatar historical folklore
Authors: Fazlutdinov I.
Published: June 2024

This article examines samples of the Tatars’ non-fairy tale prose, which reflects the historical figure of the popular uprising leader in the Urals and the Volga Region, Yemelyan Pugachev. The author summarizes the popular assessment of the Peasant War leader’s actions, found in the historical tales of the Tatars from the republics of Bashkortostan, Tatarstan and other regions of Russia. Based on the analyzed sources, it is possible to obtain valuable information about those socio-political clashes that have left deep traces in the worldview and psychology of the local population. The relevance of the research topic is due to the need to understand the role of one of the key personalities for the Bashkortostan Tatars, Yemelyan Pugachev, as well as the need to replenish the knowledge about the local history specifics and the national policy of the tsarist government. The object of the study is the Tatar people’s historical tales about uprisings and riots. The subject of the study is the image of Yemelyan Pugachev in Tatar historical tales. The purpose of the work is to identify the features reflecting the image of Yemelyan Pugachev in Tatar tales and the prerequisites that form the basis of the popular assessment of this hero’s deeds. The objectives of the article are to review historical tales about popular uprisings, unrest and riots and their leader, to identify the specifics, reflecting people’s indignation based on the transformation of the dissenter’s image, an opponent of state power in the oral folk art of the Tatars living in various regions of Russia, in particular in the Volga Region and the Urals. The article concludes that despite the strengths and weaknesses of Yemelyan Pugachev’s personality, the people portray him with respect, recognizing his strength and charisma, but they are in no hurry to take the “oath of allegiance”; at the same time, through the description of everyday events, he reveals himself, first of all, as a Person.
National and psychological aspects of the corporeality in the novella “On Chesil Beach” by I. McEwan
Authors: Faizullina R.
Published: June 2024

This article studies the national and psychological aspects of corporeality in the novella “On Chesil Beach” (2007) by I. McEwan. The research identifies the existence of national specificity of the bodily and finds ways to convey this in literature. The main themes of the novella are the prohibition of a frank conversation about sexual anxieties, the difference of temperaments and the motif of shame. The novella presents the “borderline” era of English society in the 1960s, the time when ignorance of one’s body and naïveté negatively affected human destinies. The awareness of one’s own physicality due to contact with the body of the Other is an essential aspect of the novella. We have established that I. McEwan demonstrates the impact of the national and psychological aspects on the bodily relationships of the characters in his novella “On Chesil Beach”. The characters’ isolation, their inability to interact with the Other, is part of the national character: I. McEwan’s characters live their lives “from within”, each of them is focused only on themselves and on their own feelings. Due to the Puritanical upbringing and the entire English system of values, the characters are unable to interact with the body of the Other, which entails difficulties in their relationships.
The national myth in S. Clarke’s novel “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell”
Authors: Chugunov D.
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this article is to study the constituent elements of the English national myth, embodied in the novel “Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell” by Susanna Clark (2004). The work gained genuine success immediately after its appearance, but the reasons for this success have not been investigated to date. The literary criticism focused mainly on the way S. Clarke followed the English literary tradition associated with the names of Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Walter Scott and other writers of the 19th century. The article traces S. Clark’s skill to handle different sides of the national myth, presented in the novel, by creating characteristic images, typical forms of private and public existence, images of English ethnopsychology, etc. S. Clark introduces into the narrative the oppositions characteristic of the national myth: “we – they”, “friend – foe”, defining the plot conflicts. The result of this is an absolute harmony of the novel pathos with the hypostases of modern English consciousness and an artistic summation of England’s place in the world, its role in human history.
The problem of identification in Ch. N. Adichie’s “Half of a Yellow Sun”
Authors: Shchepacheva I.
Published: June 2024

The article deals with the novel “Half of a Yellow Sun” (2006) by the African-American writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The writer shows different components of the identification process in the modern multicultural world. The main historical event of the novel is the Civil War of 1967-1970, which took place due to political and ethnic struggle. It was caused by numerous attempts by the southeastern provinces of Nigeria to secede and form the Republic of Biafra. The novel shows how the interethnic conflict between the Hausa and Igbo peoples, and later the war, influence not only the fate of the characters, but also the peculiarities of their identification process. This process is represented by three components: ethnic, national and gender. Kainene and Odenigbo, whose ethnicity is formed and recognized with the emergence of a new republic, feel, first, not as Nigerians, but as Igbos. Therefore, they take an active part in the Civil War. British interest in the war is shown through the characters of Susan and Richard who demonstrate typical colonial attitudes towards Africans. However, Richard’s interest in African culture contributes to the process of realizing the ethnic identity of Ugwu who chooses a member of the African community for his role model. Olanna, representing a new generation of Nigerian women, destroys the traditional forms of gender relations in Nigerian reality.
Metaphore as a projection of geschtalt: Neurophysiologic and linguistic aspects
Authors: Zeldin A.
Published: June 2024

The paper considers the neural and functional grounding of human skills in the production metaphoric/metonymic extension. Two existing theories underlie the main concept of the paper. The first one focuses on the correspondence of a certain cell assembly in the human cortex to a specific entity or an object; the cell assembly may embed the neurons pertaining to different cortex areas (sensory, motor, or language areas). The second proposition employed is based on the theory of Geschtalt, arising as a consequence of an object/event’s repeated perception. We also consider the model of a higher-order cell assembly formation. According to the model, some lower-order cell assemblies, each of them corresponding to a Geschtalt component, may be united in the framework of a Geschtalt matrix. The process is embodied in cognitive and verbal domains. We argue that the existing denotation, encoded in the preceding cell assembly, is transposed onto a new one represented by the Geschtalt cell assembly, when the phonetic form and semantics of the previous object are retained during this process. The neurophysiological process, which has been detailed in the paper, bears considerably on language evolution. In the case where the phonetic contours and semantics of an existing lexeme are transferred upon a second lexeme, adjacent to the first one within the Geshtalt framework, a whole tree of lexemes pertaining to one cognitive domain is formed. Due to this phenomenon, lexeme diversification occurs, which in turn gives rise to the formation and ramification of language dialects.
“Mental map” in “Letters of a Russian Traveler” by Nikolay Karamzin and the problem of the national myth representation
Authors: Alpatova T.
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes “Letters of a Russian Traveler” by Nikolay Karamzin in terms of the symbolic-mythological perception of space, suggesting a view of the countries, depicted in the travelogue, as symbolic-mythological units of the “mental map” in the book. A “mental map” is understood as a holistic image of a geographical space, value-restructured in accordance with the author’s vision of European cultural and the historical situation. The purpose of the work is to reveal the hidden additional plot of Karamzin’s book, which determines the logic of the perception of geographical space and its comprehension, taking into account the historical and political situation witnessed by Karamzin’s hero-traveler. Using the methodology of the structural-semiotic, historical-genetic and comparative-typological reading of the text, as well as the methodology of human geography, the article shows how Karamzin generalizes ideas about the logic of the Western European history and culture development at the end of the 18th century. We also characterize the writer’s symbolic and mythological view of the cultural dialogue between Russia and Europe, the place and role of the “Letters...” of France, Switzerland, England and the countries of the German world on the “mental map”. Conclusions are drawn about the significance of the spatial image of “Letters...” for the design of Karamzin’s historical and political concept of the late 18th century, in which the key role was played by the ideas of the dialogue, the ability to evaluate the achievements of European culture and to develop the potential of Russian culture.

BISPECIFIC VERBS IN POLISH AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES. TOWARDS THE FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM OF COMPARATIVE DESCRIPTION
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Ananyeva Natalija
Published: June 2024

The article discusses certain aspects of the description of bispecific verbs of the Polish language in comparison with a similar category of the Russian language. The comparison carried out according to the following parameters: quality and quantity of bispecific verbs; inconsistency in the qualification of the similar verb forms in the compared languages (for example, two-aspect Russian verbs бежать and молвить and Polish imperfective verbs biec and mówić ); the conditionality of the expression of bispecificity and manifestation in a bispecific verb of particular kind of morphological category that the given verb expresses, and the context; transition of two-aspect verb to the one-aspect when prefixal or suffixal correlates appear (for example, the verb арестовать becomes perfect when the imperfect арестовывать appears; the verb aresztować becomes imperfective when perfect zaaresztować appears). The necessity of involving dialectal material in the comparison of Polish and Russian ambitransitive verbs of native origin is substantiated.
SLOVAK FREQUENTATIVE ADVERBS WITH THE SUFFIX -KRÁT ACCORDING TO CORPUS DATA
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies RAS, Vaschchenko D.
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes the Slovak temporal frequentative adverbs with the suffix - krát : viackrát , mnohokrát , veľakrát and častokrát . The first part examines the frequency of these adverbs in the Slovak National Corpus focused on literary usage: both in the general composition of the corpus and in individual functional styles, as well as in texts created before 1955; as well as in the corpus Araneum Slovacum Beta Pentaplex II Majus, based on Internet texts and reflecting colloquial usage. The following data are given on the frequency of synonymous variants with the formant - ráz in these cases in their ratio to adverbs with - krá t. In addition, in terms of frequency, cases of combined/ separate spelling of formants - krát / - ráz are distinguished. It is shown that mnohokrát dominates the artistic style of the literary language, as well as in older texts; in modern language there is a tendency to some expansion of veľakrát and častokrát . Variants with the formant - ráz are not widely used. In the second part of the article there ara considered the Czech equivalents of these Slovak adverbs. The materials of the parallel Slovak-Czech corpus, which is part of the Slovak National Corpus, are used, while translations from Slovak to Czech are analyzed separately, and from Czech to Slovak separately. It was revealed that, firstly, the adverbs in the two languages, despite their significant formal proximity, are not always equivalent in semantic volume, and secondly, Slovak translators often strive to push away as much as possible from the formal similarity of Slovak and Czech adverbs.
ON THE ISSUE OF PRESERVING ASPECTUAL SEMANTICS OF VERBS IN DEVERBATIVES OF THE RUSSIAN AND BELARUSIAN LANGUAGES
Authors:   Belarusian State University, Golubeva V.
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes verbal nouns of the Russian and Belarusian languages with the transpositional suffix Russian -nij(e) , Belarusian -nn(e) from the point of possibility preserving the aspectual verb semantics - perfective aspect and imperfective aspect. Pairs like Russian peregruppirovanie - peregruppirovyvanie , Belarusian rasfarbavanne - rasfarbouvanne are revealed, the «reliability» of the imperfective indicator of the second member of the pair is approved. Language means capable of marking the perfectiveness and imperfectiveness of Russian and Belarusian deverbatives are identified.
THE LINGUISTIC REALIAS OF VENDING IN THE CZECH AND THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGES:FROM ATMS TO DUMPLING MACHINES
Authors: Graneva I. , Martinkova A.
Published: June 2024

The purpose of the paper is to provide an overview of neological word formation, reflecting the linguistic development of the realities of vending in modern Czech and Russian speech. New formations according to the X-mat / X-мат model are highlighted as the embodiment of active processes in the Czech and Russian languages in the light of trends towards globalization and internationalization. It is shown that Czech and Russian new derivatives have much in common, and some differences are interpreted as a reflection of the specifics of national linguistic cultures.
SCIENTIFIC APPROACH OF PROF. A.G. SHIROKOVA AND COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF THE GRAMMAR OF SLAVIC LANGUAGES
Authors:   Korolev Samara National Research University, Karpenko L.
Published: June 2024

The article deals with the contribution to the comparative study of Slavic languages of Prof. A.G. Shirokova. Her approach, based on the study of functional equivalence of languages, makes it possible to investigate similarities and differences in the ways of expressing the same meaningful categories, to reveal the national-linguistic specificity of their functioning. The features of grammatical conceptualization of the category of spatiality in Russian against the background of Bulgarian are shown. The emphasized expression of spatiality in Russian language is manifested in the systematic organization of spatial prepositional and case forms, in the prevalence of everyday sentences with spatial determinants, in the productivity of spatial derivational models, in the redundancy of spatial semantics units in speech.

ABOUT EVIDENT AND HIDDEN DIGLOSSIA OF THE COMMUNICATIVE SPACE OF THE RUSSIAN WORLD
Authors:   Perm State National Research University, A. Mishlanov V.
Published: June 2024

The article clarifies the ideas about the linguistic situation that has developed during the evolution of the communicative space (semiosphere) of the Russian World. It is shown that a special role in this space is played by the Church Slavonic language, which to this day remains the most important component of the semiosphere of the Russian culture thanks to the secondary semiotic systems contained in the Slavic Bible. The opinion is substantiated that the liturgical language of Russian Orthodoxy can be considered as the highest communicative register, organically, “in spirit and letter,” connected with the church-religious style of the Russian language and, consequently, with all its other varieties.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CONCEPTS OF BOHEMISM AND THE CONTACT VARIANT OF WORDS IN THE SLOVAK LANGUAGE
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Uvarova Yuliya
Published: June 2024

In Slovak linguistics, the term "contact variant of the word" is quite widely used, correlating with the concept of "Bohemism" (Czech loanword), but not coinciding with it. In order to establish the differences between these concepts, it is necessary to turn to the history of the formation of the Slovak literary language.

We used data obtained by continuous sampling from the dictionaries of V. M. Mokienko, F. Chermak and others. Conclusions are drawn about the specificity of phraseographic characteristics of phraseological units in three languages. The paper is of interest to researchers whose scientific interests include comparative and historical phraseology.
ON THE CAUSES OF LANGUAGE CHANGE: THE EVOLUTION OF THE GRAMMATICAL SYSTEM OR THE EVOLUTION OF THE GRAMMATICAL FORMS?
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Shulga M.
Published: June 2024

Behind the history of the Slavic short, long and pronominal forms of adjectives is a radical change of the grammatical nominal system. The paper demonstrates that it is not a history of the forms but a history of the evolution of the grammatical relations: definiteness in the opposition to indefiniteness, subjectness in the opposition to attributivity, predicativity in the opposition to attributivity. The discussed problem is just a particular case of the general theoretical and methodological question of the causes of language changes: does the evolution of the system regulate the forms' evolution or do the single forms' changes result in the systems' changes.
Charakterystyka złoża formacji Baharyia, pola naftowe Neag-1, 2 i 3, Pustynia Zachodnia, Egipt

Published: June 2024

An integration was achieved between different bore holes and laboratory measured data using several petrophysical parameters of the Baharyia Formation encountered in Neag-1,2&3 oil fields. It illustrates the key control factors affecting the Baharyia reservoir quality. The obtained petrophysical relationships could be used widely in both exploration geophysics and hydrocarbon reservoir production. It provides and demonstrates solutions for both geological and geophysical engineering problems. The measured porosity and permeability are ranging from 2.5 to 32 % and 0.005 to 874 mD respectively. The influence of diagenesis on both reservoir porosity and permeability has been investigated. Pore filling minerals has been classified into four classes by XRD- analysis technique. A reliable regression equation was reached between reservoir permeability and mineral pore fillings. Several relationships among rock permeability, porosity and density obtained from open hole logs were recognized. The pore throat distribution has been laboratory measured by use of MICP technique for some selected samples. The calculated reservoir storage and flow capacity indicate four major fluid flow types which are controlled by the variations in reservoir pore space framework. Formation resistivity factor – porosity relation was accomplished under reservoir conditions, while the Archie’s 2nd equation was outlined. The Archie’s parameters (a, m &n) were calculated for shaly and clean sandstones of the Baharyia Formation. Both cation exchange capacity (CEC), Mounce potential (MP) and mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) were measured to distinguish reservoir facies.
Bimodalność i długoterminowe trendy wartości ekstremalnych temperatury powietrza
Authors: Pekár Ján , Pekárová Pavla , Miklánek Pavol
Published: June 2024

Histograms of air temperature with a bimodal shape are commonly observed in many regions of the world. In this study, we investigate the causes of bimodality in the histograms of daily temperature series (minimum, average, and maximum) for selected climatological stations in Slovakia. Our findings suggest that in the Central European region, the bimodal shape of air temperature histograms is mainly due to the latent heat of freezing, as the surface of snow and ice and the air are thermally coupled. The asymmetry in the air temperature histograms is due to the lower mass heat capacity of ice compared to water and air. The energy-intensive latent heat of conversion of ice to water (and vice versa) results in the more frequent occurrence of ground-layer air temperatures around the freezing point, leading to the formation of the observed local maximum. This has far-reaching implications, such as the calculation of the annual mean air temperature at climatological stations. When calculating the average air temperature, negative temperatures should be given less weight than positive temperatures. Temperatures around 0-6°C should be given higher weight. This may also explain why Arctic regions are experiencing more significant warming than equatorial regions. In the second part of this paper, we analyze the long-term trends of selected temperature indices for the climatological station at Hurbanovo (Slovakia) from 1871 to 2020. Our results indicate statistically significant changes in all temperature indices, with indices related to cold temperatures increasing more significantly than those associated with high temperatures. Finally, study examines theoretical probability distributions to estimate T-year temperatures for temperature indices at the Hurbanovo climate station in Slovakia. The analysis includes three time periods (1901–1960, 1961–2020, and 1991–2020) and reveals significant changes in temperature indices at the Hurbanovo station. The 100-year temperature of TN,min was –35.75°C in 1901–1960, –28.69°C in 1961–2020, and –26.52°C in 1991–2020. The 100-year temperature of TX,max was 39.4°C in 1901–1960 and 39.63°C in 1961–2020. TN,min showed the most significant changes, with the 100-year temperature increasing by up to 7.06°C in 1961–2020 and up to 9.23°C in 1991–2020.

Heritage Building material recognition is the process of classifying building materials based on their visual appearance. It is important in construction, urban planning, and archaeology. Image analysis is a common approach, starting with acquiring RGB images, then extracting features using techniques such as colour histograms and texture analysis, and clustering the materials into groups using algorithms like k-means. Finally, the materials are classified into categories using classifiers like decision trees, SVM, or neural networks. Image analysis is a useful tool for building material recognition, as it allows for accurate classification of building materials based on their visual characteristics.

Creating a digital model is one of the aims of the geotechnical engineers, to predict the land sliding hazard which occur in different regions in the world. In February 2017, an extensive landslide occurred in the hamlet of Ponzano as a sloped area in the Abruzzo region in Italy. In this regard, predicting the land sliding hazard is one of the important issues to prevent hazard to the civilizations. In this project we created a model in the 3D dimension through the Plaxis 3D numerical solution software from the data based of the region Abruzzo in 2007 to evaluate the land sliding hazard before happened and then compare the results with the data from the drone data surveyed recently in the 2022. In this regard, the data from the Abruzzo resources from 2007 imported into the QGIS as the open-source cross-platform software to analysis the geospatial data and then imported into the Recap software to work on the point cloud data and then imported into the Civil 3D software to create a solid surface from the TIN surface and finally since the solid surface contains a large number of irrelative details, they were imported into the Rhinoceros software to create a NURBS surface to be smoothed for better performance in the analysis. The NURBS surface imported into the Plaxis and all of the geometry and geotechnical engineering parameters by considering the investigated geotechnical survey that was conducted in parallel in the area, defined for the model. The “Hardening Soil” model considered for the 1st layer as the “clay and lime” and the “Hoek-Brown” model defined for the 2nd layer as the “marl-flysch”. A fine mesh elements distribution assessed also for the model. The phases defined as the “gravity” to define the unit weight of the soil layers, the “plastic” phase to calculate the instant deformations and the “consolidation” to analyze the plastic deformations in the sloped area of the model. In parallel, the drone data achieved in 2022, were imported into the CloudCompare as the 3D point cloud processing software and different methods such as the “segment”, “statistical outlier Filter”, “CSF filter”, “noise filter”, “cross section” etc. were performed to clean the data and then imported into the Recap software to work on data and then imported into the Civil 3D software to create solid surface of the current data after the land sliding. In this regard, to evaluate the displacement occurred from the year 2007 toward the 2022, a TIN volume surface as the colored map created through the Civil 3D software to show the displacements in the z direction and all of the results were compared with the Plaxis 3D numerical solution software. The results showed that the colored map with the displacement in the positive and negative direction of the z is the same of the analyzed model and the values match each other’s and we created a digital model of the selected area to predict the land sliding hazard in the region in the following.

The increase of the population also involve the increase of the consumption of raw materials. This requires the diversification and development of industrial processes in semi-enclosed or open spaces. The carrying out of human activities of an industrial nature involves the accidental use, handling or presence of explosive substances such as methane. The presence of this gas in closed or semi-closed spaces can generate explosion phenomena. The accumulation of methane in narrow spaces is well studied and known, but the dispersion and especially the dispersion dynamics of methane released from a source considered infinite is less known. Knowing how methane disperses into the air is very important for establishing preventive measures. The paper presents the experiment on the dynamics of methane dispersion in a closed enclosure.

The aim of this contribution was to analyse the worsening.water quality problem, factors affecting this process, its consequences and possibilities of prevention. Evaluating a water worsening state of surface water in Žitný ostrov region (Danube Lowland, Slovakia) following the assessment of the physical-chemical and microbiological indicators, with regards of international and national legislative for the water quality status. The study was focused on the surface water pollution of Žitný ostrov channel network. Monitoring and assessment of following indicators were performed – temperature (t), dissolved oxygen (O2), chemical oxygen consumption (CHSKCr), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), specific conductivity (SPC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total nitrogen (NTOT), nitrate nitrogen (N-NO3-), nitrite nitrogen (N-NO2-), ammonia nitrogen (N-NH4+), total phosphorus (PTOT), phosphate phosphorus (P-PO43-). In most surface waters these include the cations Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and the anions Cl–, HCO3–, SO42–. Estimations of total dissolved solids (TDS) content are commonly based on electrical conductivity (EC) measurements, using a conversion factors (f) retrieved from regulations or guidelines. This paper determinate a conversion factor parameters as a case study to identify if reported conversion factors of Žitný ostrov surface waters are valid.

The sandstones belonging to the terrigenous deposits of the Macigno Formation (Late Oligocene-Early Miocene) were widely used as building stones in Tuscany (Italy) for the wide distribution of their outcrops and the good qualities of the extracted stone. This research reports the petrographic and mineralogical data, and the physical and mechanical test values collected to evaluate the main technical properties of the Macigno sandstones from the Vellano area, with the purpose of comparing the quality of the stones extracted in this area with those from other quarries in north-western Tuscany. The results, obtained analysing 21 samples from the Vellano quarry and its surroundings, show that sandstones cropping out here are characterized by medium to medium-fine sand-sized grains made up of quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclases, phyllosilicates, lithic fragments, and accessory. Clayey materials and calcite are present as matrix and cement, respectively. The clay fraction is made up of mica-like minerals, chlorite, chlorite/smectite interlayers and, in some samples, corrensite and kaolinite. From the physical and mechanical point of view the analysed samples show low porosity and high flexural and compressive strengths. Compared to the other Macigno sandstone samples from north-western Tuscany, the best samples of Vellano stone show rather comparable mechanical resistance than those quarried at Matraia in Lucca province, which today is another active quarry of sure interest for the good quality of the extracted material.
