The study is devoted of full-genome BLV sequences circulating in cattle populations of the Novosibirsk region, Russia. The phylogenetic tree shows that the West Siberian isolates are quite closely related to such previously isolated strains as AF399704 (Brazil), AP018007, AP018016, AP018019, LC007988, LC007991 (Japan) and EF065638 (Belgium) we calculations show that the number of mutations that could independently occur in parallel evolving BLV strains significantly exceeds the expected number based on the probability of corresponding substitutions. It was also found that the studied isolates have some mutations, the presence of which, at first glance, is possible only with their divergent development in different independently evolving branches. However, calculations show that the probability of an independent origin of an identical mutation is extremely small, which indicates the possibility of exchanging RNA sites between isolates circulating in West Siberian cattle populations.

AbstractRock-iguanas of the genus Cyclura are the largest native terrestrial herbivores of the West Indies. Most species are currently under a high risk of extinction. In order to assess genetic variation in Cuban rock iguanas (Cyclura nubila nubila), we sequenced a fragment of mitochondrial DNA (894 bp long region including a part of the ND4 subunit of the NADH gene and the tRNA genes histidine, serin and leucin (partial)) in 21 iguanas from European Zoos and private breeders. The animals sampled represent founders and important representatives of the studbook population. The data was combined with published sequences of other species/subspecies of the genus and outgroups. We used neighbour joining, maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian methods to reconstruct the phylogenetic tree. The results are congruent with the previously reported paraphyletic relationship of C. nubila with respect to C. cychlura from the Bahamas. Surprisingly, within C. n. nubila, we found previously undescribed haplotypes phylogenetically closer to those of the subspecies C. nubila caymanensis from Little Cayman Island, or C. nubila lewisi from Grand Cayman Island. Thus, our results show that C. n. nubila as currently defined represents more distinct lineages and is therefore a composite taxon. Nevertheless, as rapidly evolving isolates these taxa are still worthy of conservation efforts. We hypothesize that the basal divergence of the C. nubila–C. cychlura clade occurred in Cuba and the above mentioned taxa from the neighbouring islands are a result of relatively recent over-water dispersal. In conclusion, our data suggest that special attention should be devoted to conserving Cuban rock-iguanas.

Purpose. From July 1 to July 16, 2019, a base of the West Siberian archaeological detachment of IAE SB RAS in the Vengerovsky District of the Novosibirsk Region became the venue for the field archaeological school “Multidisciplinary research of the Paleometal era multilayer archaeological assemblages”. The school was organized for students, graduate students and young scientists from Novosibirsk State University, Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Tomsk State University, Tyumen State University, Altai State Pedagogical University, and Siberian Federal University. Results. As part of the school, students attended nine lectures and participated in four master classes and workshops. The lectures were given by experts of the IAE SB RAS, namely academician V. I. Molodin, doctor of history L. N. Mylnikova, candidate of history I. A. Durakov, candidate of history N. S. Efremova, candidate of history L. S. Kobeleva, candidate of history M. S. Nesterova, candidate of history D. V. Selin. The listeners got acquainted with modern approaches and methods of excavating multilayer archaeological assemblages of the Paleometal era, methods of analyzing the data obtained and interdisciplinary methods for studying archaeological artifacts. Special master classes and participation in the excavation of the sites took place at two multilayer sites Tartas-1 and the burial ground Ust-Tartassky mounds (settlement Karier-Tai-1). Conclusion. The students were exposed to various stages of site studies, such as sampling the horizons of the cultural layer, disassembling objects made for various purposes (pits, burials, foci, ditches), etc. University students obtained advanced training diplomas and certificates of completing a field course.

The article discusses the patriotic mood of workers and employees, Komsomol members and youth, all working people of West-Siberia manifested in helping residents and defenders of resisting Leningrad, as well as Stalingrad. As the areas of the USSR were liberated from Nazi occupation, aid was aimed at restoring industry, agriculture and other industries, in which workers, employees and collective farmers took an active part. It was established that the working people of the larger regions of Western Siberia took patronage over certain regions and cities freed from occupation. In particular, the Novosibirsk region patronized and provided multilateral assistance to the Voronezh region, and Novosibirsk to Voronezh. Omsk region provided patronage assistance to Donbass.

SummaryIn the past, birthplace has frequently been omitted in completing the Sheet, but in 1976, over 91 per cent of all first admissions to psychiatric hospitals in South-East England were analysed by birthplace, sex, age-group and marital status. First admissions for schizophrenia were five times the expected number for immigrants from New Commonwealth America (the West Indies), four times the expected number for immigrants from New Commonwealth Africa (mostly ethnic Asians) and three times the expected number from India. Immigrants from Pakistan and the remaining New Commonwealth Asian countries did not show a significantly higher than expected number of admissions for schizophrenia, and their first admissions for alcoholic psychosis and alcoholism, psychoneuroses and personality and behaviour disorders were significantly fewer than expected. First admissions for schizophrenia were also significantly more than expected among immigrants from Ireland, Germany and Poland, but not from Italy.

State Separation

Abstract The Orthodox Christianity had in some respects divergent development from that of the West, which also resulted in several conceptions that might have had an impact on the contemporary legal situations in the predominantly Orthodox countries. In this contribution we aim at examining the impact of two major points of divergence. One is the cooperative Church–state separation, that is sometimes dubbed as the symphonia of the two. Another set of concepts that arguably marked Orthodox church’s understanding of the rule of law, at least in its internal procedures, is the principle of leniency (oikonomia). It allows for an interpretation of the laws in the interest of the person to which those are to be applied. We want to investigate which pieces of legislation might have been affected by these considerations and whether contemporary challenges of the legal system in Serbia can be traced to some of the Orthodox doctrines. We conclude that while the contemporary Church–state relationship, as envisioned in the corresponding law of the country, demonstrates many traits that can be traced to the symphonia tradition, there is hardly any evidence that would support the claim that the decision-making processes in Serbian courts were marked by conscious application of the principle of oikonomia.

To understand the phylogenetic status of Ariidae, Bagridae and Plotosidae catfishes, this study was planned using the barcode gene, cytochrome oxidase I (COI). Totally 71 species were used in phylogenetic reconstructions under maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference criteria. The one-way ANOVA showed that the three catfish families are significantly different (F= 19.79, d.f. = 3; 116, P< 0.0001 (Plotosidae); F= 44.21, d.f.= 3; 986, P< 0.0001 (Ariidae); F= 24.83, d.f.= 3; 1322, P< 0.0001 (Bagridae). In MP, ML and BI based phylogenetic tree of Ariidae, Plicofollis genus displayed as a monophyletic group with higher bootstrap and posterior probability values for all the species except two species of Neoarius, which intervened separating P. polystaphylodon. In the phylogenetic tree of Plotoside, Plotosus genus displayed as monophyletic group with higher bootstrap and posterior probability values for all the eight species. In the case of Bagridae phylogeentic tree, Mystus genus displayed as a monophyletic group with higher bootstrap and posterior probability values for all the species except Mystus montanus forming a distant and distinct clade whereas Mystus tengara collides into monophyletic clade when Neotropius genuswas removed. By this study we could establish a phylogenetic hypothesis for all the 36 catfish families and examine the monophyly status of the subfamilies and genera.

Amphibole Asbestos

Approximately 60,000 tons per day of waste from taconite mining, tailing, are added to the west arm of Lake Superior at Silver Bay. Tailings contain nearly the same amount of quartz and amphibole asbestos, cummingtonite and actinolite in fibrous form. Cummingtonite fibres from 0.01μm in length have been found in the water supply for Minnesota municipalities.The purpose of the research work was to develop a method for asbestos fibre counts and identification in water and apply it for the enumeration of fibres in water samples collected(a) at various stations in Lake Superior at two depth: lm and at the bottom.(b) from various rivers in Lake Superior Drainage Basin.

White Rhino

In the West Nile District of Uganda lives a population of white rhino—those relies of a past age, cumbrous, gentle creatures despite their huge bulk—which estimates only 10 years ago, put at 500. But poachers live in the area, too, and official counts showed that white rhino were being reduced alarmingly. By 1959, they were believed to be diminished to 300.
