Published: July 2020

The second part of the article deals with the initial steps of Serbian immigrants in their new homeland after the arrival of their first team, headed by I. Horvath from Austria to Kiev in October 1751. The regulatory framework for the creation and development of New Serbia, the first of two Serbian settlements on the Ukrainian lands of the Russian Empire. It is precisely the imperial decree of December 24, 1751, in which the concept of the organization of the settlement of the Serbian settlers was stated, the first stone was laid for the legislative and regulatory basis on which to equip them in a new place. It is stated that the status of new subjects in this document is defined as “border police”, which is tracing the German term “landmilitia”. It is indicated that in accordance with the decree of the Senate of December 29, 1751, it was decided to establish four regular regiments, “including two Hussars, and two Pandur, each regiment of 4000 people, in which there are 1000 grenadiers of the infantry two regiments”, the boundaries of the new settlement with reference to specific spatial landmarks are detailed, the standards for the extrusion of land for settlements and settlers are defined. The content of another important regulatory document is disclosed – signed in the Senate on January 11, 1752, “The Letter of Appeal to Major General Horvath”, in which the foundations of the organization and functioning of the new settlement are finally settled, practical recommendations are given on most of the practical issues that arose during the preparation and implementation Justification of the Serbs in a new place. The content and features of the Senate "Instructions" to Major General Glebov of February 3, 1752, which contained a number of new provisions aimed at clarifying and developing the settlement project, were examined. Special attention is paid to the relations of Serbian settlers and local residents of the “Dnieper places”, which were neither simple nor good-neighborly. The regulatory framework of the second Serbian settlement on Ukrainian lands - Slavic Serbia – which was commissioned to create I. Shevich and R. Preradovic was analyzed. The course of events related to the beginning of its settlement by Serbian and other settlers is described. The circumstances leading to the end of New Serbia and Slavic Serbia and the completion of the organized resettlement of the Serbs were clarified.

Philhellenism existed in European society long before to the Morea expedition, the latter only exacerbated this tendency. The expedition helped to transform the superficial interest into a scientific interest, since its materials formed a scientific and aesthetic luggage, which remained one of the best for many years for European scientists who were unable to visit the region in person. The ancient Greek ruins aroused the admiration and awe of Europeans who saw in them a largely romanticized past. Officers, soldiers and people of art became the first group to form a collective memory of the past. For them, these events were emotionally colored. When they return home, scientists, artists, and even officers will become carriers and translators of this collective memory in French society. This group was the bearer of information about the monuments and treasures of the ancient Greeks, the key events, the most important details of Greek antiquity – the cradle of European civilization and its values.
The scientific Morea expedition was important for the expansion of knowledge about Greece as a country and its ancient heritage. In architecture, sculpture, painting, furniture, and decorative art, ancient Greek motives were actively used – usually in a much romanticized and ornate form. After the expedition, European museums and numerous collectors began to show increased interest in Greek culture. The downside of this interest was the active plundering of the country’s cultural heritage. Another result of the expedition was that science began to be regarded as “politics of the XIX century”.
Evacuation of the German Population from the Zhytomyr General District (November 1943 – March 1944)
Authors: Martynenko V. 
Published: July 2020

During the autumn of 1943, a mass evacuation of the German population took place from several occupied regions of Ukraine. One of them was the Zhytomir general district, where at that time more than 40,000 ethnic Germans lived. By early November 1943, its territory came under attack from the advancing Soviet troops. This was the impetus for the evacuation of the local German population. Its main initiator was the civil administration. SS personnel often played a supporting role. The Wehrmacht also took a noticeable part in this operation, especially from transport support. For transportation of the contingent, quite often (and at the beginning of 1944 exclusively), trains were used, which significantly accelerated the evacuation. Carts and vehicles were actively used only during its first phase. According to documents, the vast majority of refugees evacuated voluntarily, as they seriously feared new repressions by the Soviet government. At the same time, there were cases when the occupying authorities resorted to threats and forceful pressure against persons who, for one reason or another, decided to stay. The bulk of the refugees were initially transported to the General District of Volhynia and Podolia. Since January 1944, they were evacuated to the territory of the Bialystok district, where, according to the initial plans of the SS leadership, in the future, they were destined the role of settlers. However, in March 1944, this contingent was completely exported to Warthegau, where it remained until the end of hostilities in Europe.
In the framework of this article, based on attracting documents from German archival funds, the organization, the course, and features of the evacuation of the German population from the territory of the Zhytomyr General District in November 1943 – March 1944 are considered.

Hypertension is that the most noteworthy risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Dietary and lifestyle changes play the foremost part to decrease the hazard of hypertension and other related wellbeing complications. Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors play a major role in treating hypertension. Annapavala chendhuram is a herbo – mineral Siddha formulation comes under the type of 32 internal medicines of Siddha. Hypolipidemic activity of Annapavala chendhuram has been proven by some research studies. Hence, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the ACE inhibition activity on Annapavala chendhuram by using an in-vitro assay. The ACE inhibition assay was evaluated by UV Spectrophotometry technique based on the hydrolysis of histidyl-hippuryl-leucine (HHL) by ACE. About 50µL test sample with varying concentration (100- 500 µg/ml) along with standard captopril (100µg/ml) added with 50µL of ACE and some process had continued. The present study indicates that the test drug Annapavala chendhuram was effective in inhibiting the enzyme ACE dose-dependently. Maximum percentage inhibition of about 53.24±8.403% was observed at 500μg/ml when compared to that of the Captopril, a standard ACE enzyme inhibitor agent with the maximum inhibition 86.98 ± 6.375 at the concentration of 100μg/ml. It was concluded that the test drug Annapavala chendhuram possess significant anti-hypertensive property in protein denaturation assay. So, further in-vitro evaluation of ACE inhibitory activity on Siddha herbal preparations and clinical trials will be the need of the hour.

Background: Turkey has a marked increase in the proportion of female medical students and graduates doctors compared to males. However, females are still underrepresented in some disciplines and grouped in other branches of medicine. It is essential to regularly assess the medical students' trends toward the specialty and avoid the shortage and maldistribution in some critical specialties. This study aims to investigate the gender differences in Turkish medical students’ specialty preferences and influencing factors.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study carried out among final year students at the Bezmialem Vakif University (BVU), Faculty of Medicine in Istanbul, Turkey. Data collected from March to April 2018 using a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire included socio-demographic characteristics of the population, first choices for specialization, and the factors influencing those choices. An independent sample t-test performed to test the gender differences in different influencing factors. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16.
Results: A total of seventy (70) students (response rate of 69.5 %) included in the data analysis. The mean age of total respondents was 24.9 ± 0.96 (ranged 23-27), and the male to female ratio of students was approximately 1:1.4. Out of nineteen (19) factors, statistically significant gender differences noted in the mean scores of six factors. Male students were more influenced by family expectations (2.76 ± 0.87, p=0.008), geographical consideration (2.97 ± 0.91, p=0.053), and high income expectations (2.90 ± 0.90, p=0.024) compared to female students. However, female students were more influenced by personal interests (3.61 ± 0.49, p=0.041), personality characteristics (3.59 ± 0.55, p=0.010) and malpractice (2.73 ± 1.03, p=0.015) compared to male students.
Conclusion: There is a significant difference between the sexes in terms of priorities; family, income, and geographical distribution significantly impacted on men, while women were more concerned with lifestyle, well-being and avoiding responsibility.

Abstract. Direct measurements of NOx, CO and aromatic volatile organic compound (VOC) (benzene, toluene, C2-benzenes and C3-benzenes) flux were made for a central area of Beijing using the eddy-covariance technique. Measurements were made during two intensive field campaigns in central Beijing as part of the Air Pollution and Human Health (APHH) project, the first in November–December 2016 and the second during May–June 2017, to contrast wintertime and summertime emission rates. There was little difference in the magnitude of NOx flux between the two seasons (mean NOx flux was 4.41 mg m−2 h−1 in the winter compared to 3.55 mg m−2 h−1 in the summer). CO showed greater seasonal variation, with mean CO flux in the winter campaign (34.7 mg m−2 h−1) being over twice that of the summer campaign (15.2 mg m−2 h−1). Larger emissions of aromatic VOCs in summer were attributed to increased evaporation due to higher temperatures. The largest fluxes in NOx and CO generally occurred during the morning and evening rush hour periods, indicating a major traffic source with high midday emissions of CO, indicating an additional influence from cooking fuel. Measured NOx and CO fluxes were then compared to the MEIC 2013 emissions inventory, which was found to significantly overestimate emissions for this region, providing evidence that proxy-based emissions inventories have positive biases in urban centres. This first set of pollutant fluxes measured in Beijing provides an important benchmark of emissions from the city which can help to inform and evaluate current emissions inventories.
Ice crystal characterization in cirrus clouds II: radiometric characterization of HaloCam for the quantitative analysis of halo displays

Published: July 2020

Abstract. We present a procedure for geometric, spectral, and absolute radiometric characterization of the weather-proof RGB camera HaloCamRAW and demonstrate its application in a case study.
This characterization procedure can be generalized to other RGB camera systems with similar field of view.
HaloCamRAW is part of the automated halo observation system HaloCam and designed for the quantitative analysis of halo displays.
The geometric calibration was performed using a chessboard pattern to estimate camera matrix and distortion coefficients.
For the radiometric characterization of HaloCamRAW, the dark signal and vignetting effect were determined to correct the measured signal.
Furthermore, the spectral response of the RGB sensor and the linearity of its radiometric response were characterized.
The absolute radiometric response was estimated by cross calibrating HaloCamRAW against the completely characterized spectrometer of the Munich Aerosol Cloud Scanner (specMACS).
For a typical measurement signal the relative (absolute) radiometric uncertainty amounts to 2.8 % (5.0 %), 2.4 % (5.8 %), and 3.3 % (11.8 %) for the red, green, and blue channel, respectively.
The absolute radiometric uncertainty estimate is larger mainly due to the inhomogeneity of the scene used for cross calibration and the absolute radiometric uncertainty of specMACS.
Geometric and radiometric characterization of HaloCamRAW were applied to a scene with a 22∘ halo observed on 21 April 2016.
The observed radiance distribution and 22∘ halo ratio compared well with radiative transfer simulations assuming a range of ice crystal habits and surface roughness values.
This application demonstrates the potential of developing a retrieval method for ice crystal properties, such as ice crystal size, shape, and surface roughness using calibrated HaloCamRAW observations together with radiative transfer simulations.
Differences in damping of edgewise whirl modes operating an upwind turbine in a downwind configuration
Authors: Wanke Gesine , Bergami Leonardo , Verelst David Robert 
Published: July 2020

Abstract. The qualitative changes in damping of the first edgewise modes when an upwind wind turbine is
converted into the respective downwind configuration are investigated. A model of a Suzlon S111
2.1 MW turbine is used to show that the interaction of tower torsion and the rotor modes
is the main reason for the change in edgewise damping. For the forward whirl mode, a maximum
decrease in edgewise damping of 39 % is observed and for the backward whirl mode, a maximum
increase of 18 % in edgewise damping is observed when the upwind configuration is changed into
the downwind configuration. The shaft length is shown to be influencing the interaction between
tower torsion and rotor modes as out-of-plane displacements can be increased or decreased with
increasing shaft length due to the phase difference between rotor and tower motion. Modifying the
tower torsional stiffness is seen to give the opportunity in the downwind configuration to account
for both a favorable placement of the edgewise frequency relative to the second yaw frequency and a favorable phasing in the mode shapes.
Use of Ketamine in Sphynx Cats
Authors: Adami Chiara , Monticelli Paolo 
Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT
Since the early 1990s, a number of deaths of Sphynx cats have been anecdotally reported following ketamine-based anesthesia. These episodes have raised concerns, between breeders and owners of that peculiar cat breed, that their cats may not be looked after with the care they deserve and that veterinarians might not be adequately informed about breed-specific drug toxicities. This article reviews some aspects of the clinical pharmacology of ketamine, which, in these authors’ opinion, analyzed together with the breed-specific peculiarities of Sphynx cats, may provide some explanations for the lethal outcomes reported over the last decades.
MRI Features of Presumed Primary Extranodal Lymphoma of the Bulbospongiosus Muscle Causing Stranguria
Authors: Humphreys William , Finotello Riccardo , Schiborra Frederike 
Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT
Hematopoietic neoplasia is common in dogs, with canine non-Hodgkin lymphomas representing more than 80% of all hematopoietic cancer. However, extranodal infiltration of the skeletal muscle by non-Hodgkin lymphoma is rare in humans and dogs. A 9 yr old neutered male English mastiff presented with a 3 wk history of recurrent stranguria, pelvic limb ataxia, and mild proprioceptive deficits bilaterally, worse in the right pelvic limb. MRI showed an expansile ill-defined lesion within the bulbospongiosus muscle. The lesion had intermediate signal intensity to muscle and fat on T2-weighted imaging and was isointense to unaffected muscle on precontrast T1-weighted imaging. Contrast enhancement was heterogeneous and there was digitate signal alteration within adjacent perilesional fat. Ultrasound examination confirmed a hypoechoic lesion infiltrating the muscle. Cytological examination yielded a diagnosis of high-grade lymphoma. This report provides the first description of MRI findings associated with cytologically confirmed lymphoma of the skeletal muscle in the dog. Although nonspecific, the imaging features strongly correlate with those in the medical literature and lymphoma should be considered a pertinent differential in cases presenting with similar imaging findings.
Intensive feeding of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the breeding ground of Banderas Bay, Mexico

Published: July 2020

Banderas Bay, located in the Mexican Pacific, is a breeding/calving ground for the North Pacific stock of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) during the winter. While sporadic registers of humpback whales feeding on their mating grounds exist, this is the first occasion where feeding activity was observed intensively and extensively on a breeding ground. Between 19 December 2011 and 6 March 2012, 26 such occurrences were registered in Banderas Bay, along the mainland pacific coast. On five occasions, groups of 20 or more individuals were recorded feeding. They were feeding over and under the surface using lunging and gulping techniques. On several occasions humpbacks were observed feeding alongside Bryde´s whales (Balaenoptera edeni), Pantropical spotted dolphins (Stenella attenuata) and Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). Two different samples of fish at two different feeding sites were taken and the fish identifications showed these were Pacific anchovies (Cetengraulis mysticetus). Among the 26 sightings, nine different species of birds were registered feeding in the same area as the humpback whales. The number of whales feeding over an extended period of time in their breeding ground could be an indicator that there was not enough food in their feeding grounds, but the possibility that they might just be taking advantage of good food availability is also possible.

Published: July 2020

Research Question: This paper investigates how the social franchising approach may enhance the sustainability and capability of Foster Home NGOs in the Global South. Motivation: While many programmes exist to address issues such as poverty and lack of education for children in nations of the Global South, many operate in isolation, and are grassroots and/or stand-alone operations. Little research has been undertaken to understand how various approaches to organizational sustainability may be enacted for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) seeking to provide care for children in foster care homes. Our goal was to apply franchising and social franchising concepts as a framework for NGOs and non-profit organizations to use as a way of enhancing both the capability of achieving their mission as well as a method of organizational sustainability. Idea: Much of the literature on social franchising has been in the area of providing health care and services – however, this model may be useful to enhance the sustainability for NGOs and non-profit organizations that provide other critical services as well, such as foster care homes in the Global South. Findings: The social franchising model offers a concrete and actionable business model to foster home organizations with multiple homes to standardize care delivery as well as develop a strong core organization. Contribution: This paper explores how applying the social franchising model could enhance sustainability of NGOs with foster care home programmes, as well as some of the opportunities and challenges in applying this model to such NGOs and non-profit organizations.
