Published: July 2024

статья посвящается исследованию антонимов-конверсивов, репрезентирующих концепты. Анализ таких антонимических отношений играет значимую роль в области лингвистики и когнитивной науки, поскольку позволяет выявить взаимосвязи и характер противопоставления двух концептов. Путем изучения антонимов-конверсивов можно значительно расширить понимание лингвокультурологического пространства и попытаться описать сложные отношения между смыслами и значениями концептов, что, в свою очередь, обуславливает актуальность работы. Автор рассматривает концептуальный анализ как важный метод в лингвистических исследованиях, который задействует разнообразные подходы для изучения концептуальных структур в определенном лингвокультурологическом контексте. Целью является исследование особенностей противопоставления антонимов-конверсивов на примере пары «муж – жена». Основным материалом исследования служит Словарь русской ментальности (СРМ) В.В. Колесова, а также тексты национального корпуса русского языка с 2011 г. Основой концептуального анализа, проводимого в рамках данной работы, является методология В.В. Колесова, включающая выделение в русскоязычных текстах предикатов, и далее – денотатных признаков. Проведенное исследование показало, что конверсивными являются такие концепты, которые противопоставлены по основанию, но имеют общие цели, причины, условия, то есть связаны общей ситуацией.

the article is devoted to the study of antonyms-conversions representing concepts. The analysis of antonymic relations plays a significant role in the field of linguistics and cognitive science, as it allows to reveal the interrelations and the nature of the opposition of two concepts. Through the study of antonyms-conversions it is possible to expand the understanding of linguocultural space and try to describe the complex relations between the meanings and values of concepts, which determines the relevance of the work. The author considers conceptual analysis as an important method in linguistic research, which engages a variety of approaches to study conceptual structures in a particular linguocultural context. The aim is to study the peculiarities of antithesis of antonyms-conversives on the example of the pair «husband – wife». The main material of the study is the Dictionary of Russian Mentality (DRM) by V.V. Kolesov, as well as texts by V.V. Kolesov. Kolesov, as well as texts of the national corpus of the Russian language of the last decade (since 2011). The basis of the conceptual analysis carried out within the framework of this work is the methodology of V.V. Kolesov. Kolesov's methodology, which includes the allocation of predicates in Russian-language texts, and further – denotative features. The conducted research has shown that conversion concepts are those concepts that are opposed in terms of their basis, but have common goals, reasons, conditions, i.e. are connected by a common situation.

Authors: Sugai Nicole , Shipley Clifford , Rothrock-Gensler Lindsey , Ellerbrock Robyn , Stewart Jamie
Published: July 2024

This case study describes the feasibility of using chilled, sex-sorted semen for laparoscopic artificial insemination (AI) in the captive white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) industry. Ejaculates from 3 bucks were collected, extended, and shipped overnight for flow cytometric sex-sorting. Sex-sorted semen was chilled and shipped back overnight. Synchronized does were bred using chilled, sex-sorted (n = 30, farm 1; n = 10, farm 2) or conventional frozen (n = 7, farm 2) semen by laparoscopic AI. Does were subsequently turned out with bucks. Percentage of bucks born via AI with sex-sorted semen was 85% (28/33) for farm 1 and 100% (16/16) for farm 2. Percentage of bucks born by natural cover was 50% (12/24) for farm 1 and percentage of bucks born by using either conventional semen or live cover was 56% (9/14) for farm 2. This case study demonstrated acceptable results using chilled, sex-sorted semen in white-tailed deer herds as a technique to manipulate the sex proportions per breeding season.
What has embryo recovery and transfer taught us about equine reproductive physiology?
Authors: Wilsher Sandra , Hoogewijs Maarten
Published: July 2024

Equine embryo transfer has been the foundation stone on which modern reproductive technologies and novel research in this species has been built. Nonsurgical embryo recovery and transfer methods developed from the original surgical methods, and the ease with which these procedures can be undertaken has enabled these techniques to play a continuing role in original research. We document how embryo recovery and/or transfer have increased our knowledge about many of the events involved in equine reproductive physiology. These include, when the equine embryo enters the uterus, the importance and development of the blastocyst capsule, secretory products of early embryos, early maternal-embryo interactions, effects of uterine asynchrony on early embryo development, the role of endometrial cups and maternal immunological tolerance of extraspecies embryo transfers, and the influence of uterine environmental on fetal growth and development.

Authors: Rosu Simona , Herbei Mihai , Sala Florin
Published: July 2024

The study used the technique based on remote sensing to analyze the temporal variability within the "Cenad Forest" Protected Area, Timis County, Romania. The Sentinel 2 satellite system was used to obtain satellite images. Images were taken in the four seasons, the period 2020-2022. The result was a package of 12 sets of satellite data, one for each anotype and year of the study period. Based on the spectral values, the NDMI, NDVI and NBR indices were calculated (series of 908 data for each index, season and year). Descriptive statistical analysis was used for the primary evaluation of the data. In the case of 2020, the variation of the NDVI index in relation to NDMI and of the NBR index in relation to NDMI and NDVI was described by polynomial equations of degree 2, with the exception of moment t3, when NBR in relation to NDVI was described by a linear equation. In the case of the year 2021, the variation of the NBR index in relation to the NDVI (at all four moments of determination) was described by linear equations, and in the case of the other indices the variation was described by polynomial equations of the 2nd degree. In the case of 2022, the variation of the NBR-t1 index in relation to NDVI-t1 was described by a polynomial equation of the 2nd degree, and in all other cases, the variation of the indices was described by linear equations. In the case of 2022, the average values of the indices showed lower levels than the average values recorded in 2020 and 2021. The comparative analysis of the data series, for each index, from the years 2020 and 2021 compared to the year 2022, led to statistically safe differences (p<0.001). An exception was registered in the case of NDMI-t4 (year 2020) and NDVI-t1 (2021) when the differences did not present safety (p>0.05).

Published: July 2024

The study made a comparative analysis regarding the behavior of some soybean genotypes in non-irrigated crop system. Experiments were carried out within ARDS Lovrin, on a chernozem type soil with medium fertility. The following genotypes were cultivated: 'Calma', 'Caro', 'Isa', 'Karavukovo', 'Perla', and 'Ziana'. Sowing was done at the optimal time, at a distance of 70 cm between rows, and the crop technology ensured favorable conditions for plant growth. At physiological maturity, plant samples were taken and determinations were made regarding: plant density (PD, plants/m2), plant weight (PW, kg/m2), soybean pod weight (SpW, kg/m2), soybean grain weight (SgW, kg/m2), soybean pods shells weight (SpsW, kg/m2). Based on the recorded values, the yield of soybeans in relation to pods (Y, %) was calculated. PW/SpW, PW/SgW, and PsW/SgW ratios were also calculated. Very strong, positive correlation was recorded between SgW and SpW (r = 0.998), between Y (%) and SpW (r = 0.923), and between Y and SgW (r = 0.944). According to PCA, PC1 explained 74.369% of variance, and PC2 explained 14.769% of variance. The Cluster Analysis generated the dendrogram of soybean genotypes based on similarity (Coph.corr = 0.972), and a high level of similarity was recorded between 'Calma' and 'Isa' genotypes (SDI = 1.6926). In relation to the average value of the experiment, the 'Perla' genotype stood out for the PW parameter, the 'Ziana' genotype for the SpW parameter, the 'Ziana' genotype for the SgW parameter, and the 'Perla' genotype for yield (Y, %).

Published: July 2024

In order to identify important sources of germplasm that can be used in the hybridization process to obtain specific soybeans, 140 genotypes from Asia and Europe were analyzed. The chemical analyses were performed using spectrophotometry, besides the protein and oil content, one unsatured fatty acid (stearic) and three saturated fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic) were determinated. In general, a higher protein content has been identified in Asian material. In terms of fatty acid profile, similar results were obtained in both types of germplasm. ES Indicator and Suinong 35 varieties were identified with the highest values for protein content, while for fat content NS-L50101 genotype and Hefeng 54 varieties were noted. The strong negative relationship identified between protein and oil hightlights that it is difficult to create genotypes that are rich in both parameters. The regression exemplified for the fat and protein content shows that varieties with a protein content of more than 35% and fat higher than 21.75% have not been identified within the European or Asian biological material.

Published: July 2024

The study evaluated how certain agrochemical indices, used in soil characterization, were classified. The study area, where the soil samples came from, was in the "Padurea Cenad" Protected Area, Timis County, Romania. The considered agrochemical indices resulted from soil analysis for agricultural land and forest land. The agrochemical indices were represented by soil reaction (pH), the content of some macroelements (Nt, P, K, Ca, Mg), microelements (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn), and heavy metals (Cr, Ni, Pb). The soil reaction was considered with each group of elements in the analysis. According to the PCA analysis, in the case of macroelements, pH, Nt, K, Ca were grouped in PC1, and P and Mg were grouped in PC2. In the case of microelements, pH, Mn, Zn were grouped in PC1, and Cu and Fe were grouped in PC2. In the case of heavy metals, all elements were grouped in PC1. The soil reaction (pH) showed negative action in relation to macroelements (r = -0.999), and in relation to heavy metals (r = -0.972), and positive action in relation to microelements (r = 0.847). Negative action was also recorded in the case of Ca (r = -0.970). In the case of macroelements, Mg showed a strong action (r = 0.770), and the other elements showed a very strong action (r > 0.900). In the case of microelements, pH and Fe showed a strong action (r = 0.847; r = 0.877), and the other elements showed a very strong action (r > 0.900). In the case of heavy metals, Cr showed a weak action (r = 0.576), and the other elements showed a very strong action (r > 0.900). In all three analyzed groups, the results showed statistical certainty (p < 0.001).

Alarms for Memory Sake -2 or the Degeneration of Man (Based on the Plays “To die is so hard” by Moushegh Ishkhan and “An Hour Memory” by Karine Khodikyan)
Authors: Piloyan Valeri
Published: July 2024

Key words: literature, memory, genocide, reference to historical memory, repetition

Literature, being the guarantor of memory, at the same time can confirm oblivion, one of the versions of which is the invented memory. Memory is formed in time and may contain truth as well as falsehood. What do others expect from theliterature: how do we impose our memory on others but first of all on ourselves? We’ve observed that issue with a comparative analysis of the plays “To die is so hard’’ by M.Ishkhanand “An hour memory’’ by K.Khodikyan, taking into consideration the reality of our days. In M. Ishkhan’s play, a person’s memory pretends to become another person’s memory, which doesn’t become humanity’s memory and concern. In K.Khodikyan’s work, there are some temporal penetrations from the present to the past and from the past to the present accordingly, and a new conventionality is recreated with the such components as Armenian, memory, genocide, surgery, etc. The character’s words, actions and deeds along with what is depicted in the play are first of all the real search for identity, the very search for ethnic memory, because the genocide, the memory of it, sometimes the unwilling or unprepared opposition to that memory have already become a component of the collective unconsciousness of the Armenian man, which feels like something with a daily presence,nowadays expressed with a horrible consequence in the form of emigration, self-estrangement with the compulsion of globalization. We are forced into a loser’s psychology, as well as to its denial. Today, the greatest concern is closely connected with our personal genetic memory. Oblivion inevitably brings repetition. Let's think about our future, passing on our ethnic memory to future generations without loss.
The Challenges of teaching the Subject “Archaeology” in Regional Universities, using the Example of Vanadzor State University
Authors: Vardanyan Benik
Published: July 2024

Key words: archeology, archeology of Armenia, teaching, museum practice, excavations, methods of teaching archeology, archeology textbook

In regional universities of the Republic of Armenia, the course “Archaeology” is part of the general academic program within the specialization of “History.” The number of hours allocated for this subject may vary depending on the educational institutions. At Vanadzor State University, “Archaeology” is taught for a total of 58 academic hours. We have developed educational materials, including lectures and textbooks, to prepare a curriculum that covers the fundamentals of archaeology and the archaeological periods of Armenia, ranging from early historical periods to the late Middle Ages.
Various teaching methods are employed during the learning process, including lectures, seminars, discussions, debates, and practical exercises. Classroom sessions utilize methods such as problem-based lectures, dialogical lectures, discussion-based lectures, seminar discussions, and others, depending on the specific topic and methodology.
One of the challenges in teaching “Archaeology” is the absence of a suitable textbook that fully aligns with the curriculum. To address this issue, we propose the development of an interdisciplinary textbook that encompasses the basics of archaeology, geology, and geography.
This textbook should cover archaeology from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages, based on contemporary technologies and scientific advancements, while complying with the educational standards of universities.
To enhance the effective teaching of “Archaeology” and the preparation of future archaeologists, it is suggested to increase the number of credit hours allocated for this subject in universities and to offer it over two semesters in the first year. This approach will establish a comprehensive link between “Armenian History” and historical periods of the Ancient East.
The Response to the 44-day Karabakh War in the “Zhamanak” Daily Newspaper
Authors: Ohanyan Tatyana
Published: July 2024

The 44-day Karabakh war of 2020 received a wide response from the “Zhamanak” newspaper published in Turkey.
The newspaper described the events taking place in Armenia and Artsakh, based on information received from Armenia, as well as from various publications of Azerbaijani and international media.
The publications of “Zhamanak” show that the newspaper is totally knowledgable about the Artsakh problem. The newspaper describes in detail the reasons for the start of the 44-day war, showing that the July events and statements of the Republic of Armenia have exhausted negotiations and the conflict was already inevitable.
Throughout the war, “Zhamanak”, by providing information reported by Armenian, Azerbaijani and international media, shows that Azerbaijan is a pre-aggressive party, emphasizing the fact that Armenia has no motives for starting a war.
From the first days of the war “Zhamanak” considers the course of hostilities unpredictable, noting either the possibility of a long war, similar to the first Artsakh war, or the probability of a quick cessation of hostilities.
Despite the fact of being critized, “Zhamanak” does not consider the resignation of Azerbaijani Foreign Minister E. Mammadyarov a coincidence, highlighting that he was a peace supporter, who made a great contribution to the negotiations between the two countries of Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Although the newspaper is published in Turkey, it presents the course of the 44-day war from a pro-Armenian perspective and laments its outcome. A few days after the ceasefire was announced, the following statement appeared in the newspaper: “the country is in deep darkness”.

The connection between the language systems of Western Armenian and Middle Armenian are at different linguistic levels. Considering the verb conjugation system, it can be noted that it was Middle Armenian that mostly influenced the development of Western Armenian language: so, the connection is systematic.
This article is an attempt to present connection of the Middle Armenian and Western Armenian languages in the system of imperative mode. It has been noted that the imperative was simplified in Middle Armenian from the perspective of composition.
The endings է, իր, ա for ե, ի, ա conjugations in Western Armenian singular mode are formed in the Middle Armenian inbase of Grabar; then they have transferred into Western Armenian. Conjugation Ու in the modern Western Armenian language has already turned into archaisms that are used for providing a tone of antiquity to the speech.
Changes in the verb system began in the early period of Middle Armenian within the spoken language. Thos changes penetrated into the written language from the first sub-period of Middle Armenian. By this time the use of the new forms had begun to spread, although the old forms were being used alongside the new forms. In the second sub-period, the new versions, that the Western Armenian has inherited, were fully established.
The Western Armenian language also inherited the changes in the affixes of the base, in particular, in many verbs there was a decrease in the phoneme, as a result of which the sounds ա and ե of the affixes -ան-, -են- were shortened, for example գտանել- գտնել, մտանել-մտնել, գիտենալ-գիտնալ, վախենալ-վախնալ etc.
The imperative has saved the same semantic features in both Western Armenian and Middle Armenian languages. In Western Armenian, imperative is also expressed by verbs belonging to other modes; this feature is also characteristic of Middle Armenian
Ideological and Artistic Parallels of “Khmbapet Shavarsh” and “Toward the Mount Masis” Poems by Y. Charents
Authors: Malumyan Gayane
Published: July 2024

The inner layers of the poems “Khmbapet Shavarsh” and “Toward the Mount Masis”, along with the structural nature and the nightly anxieties of the characters identify with the haunting commonality of doubt, thus becoming the core of the poems. The characters of both poems (a soldier and an intellectual) are troubled by the “lead present”. They seek the reasons for their anxiety over the unseeable future in the past. They are the manifestations of the author’s ideological anxieties and doubts. The poems originate from an inner struggle that raged throughout the years. If “Wound of Armenia” was Abovyan's heart and soul, for Y. Charents the quest of even a small chance to put the shaky future of his people on solid foundations was a lifelong goal. The generations succeeding Charents should recognize that the existential salvation of the nation lies in the collective power, that they must keep the generation, the “seed” of the future pure: those are the bitter, onerous but healing messages bequeathed by Charents. The dawn is a character, changing its course by minute, a thread that makes us live.
In “Khmbapet Shavarsh” the heavy steps of the night leading to the dawn are filled with anxious anticipation. In the poem “Toward the Mount Masis” even if the dawn does not show a way out, does not open the door to a dreamed salvation, it at least dispels the night thoughts that oppress the heart and shifts into the symbol that the souls maimed by doubt and lurking in the dark abyss of dubiety are longing for. Charents does not prescribe a way to salvation, but he regards the mission of carrying the torch of faith and hope above the heads of the people as the spiritual foundation for defying desolation.

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) carries hereditary codes which is translated by the cells to synthesize the ribonucleic acid (RNA) and polypeptides which can generate and perform vital function. The double helix structure is the most studied model of the DNA that was proposed by Watson and Crick. The capability of DNA to work as a genetic material can be stored and conducted during cell division to permit this information to be doubled and transmitted to the incoming generation. Any damage in the structure of DNA is an essential direct cause for the progression of cancer and other disorders. The factors for DNA damage can be classified as exogenous and endogenous factors. In this review article, we highlight the evidence-supported information about the structure, functions and clinical significance of DNA.
