The article examines the state policy in relation to the collectivization of the Kazakh ASSR in the late 20s and early 30s of the XX century and the reasons for the uprisings in the East Kazakhstan region. In the region of East Kazakhstan historiography of the Soviet period and the Soviet government on the reasons for the peasants‘ revolt against the collectivization policy envisaged in the post-Soviet period. The author’s research assesses the direction of research on the causes of the uprisings of the Soviet period, its reliability and influence on state policy. Currently, the directions and features of modern research are analyzed in detail, and the goals are clearly defined. After analyzing the works published after the 90s of the XX century, they were not published during the Soviet period, used new archival documents, expanded the field of research, and made conclusions of new quality. The study identified the political, social, economic, and cultural causes of the uprisings against mass forced collectivization in the late and early 30s of the twentieth century. The article analyzes the relationship of collectivization policy with uprisings in the modern East Kazakhstan region and in other regions.

This article explores how the relationship of a single person and society is depicted in the twelfth century and the fifteenth/sixteenth centuries in French and German autobiographical writings. Shifting away from looking at the ‘group–single person’ relationship, which is so prominent in the debate on medieval individuality, and turning to ‘society’, the article suggests that this wider scope can offer new ways of identifying parallels and differences between modern and pre-modern concepts of the self. Drawing on sociological theory (Simmel, Luhmann) on conceptualising the self, the article argues that, with respect to self-esteem, self-consciousness and (if at all) ‘autonomy’ there are more similarities than differences between medieval and modern ways of being ‘individual’. Besides the similarities, the fundamental differences can be found in the overall perspectives and the general frameworks against which concepts of the self are developed. On the one hand, people conceptualise themselves as being part of, or rather, exponents of society. On the other hand, they describe themselves as being counterparts of, or rather, external to society. Whether this approach helps to yield a different view of how pre-modern autobiographical texts can be read, with side glances to the merchant Lucas Rem and the professor Johan vam Hirtze (both fifteenth century), the study concentrates on Guibert of Nogent, a twelfth-century abbot, and Katharina Schütz-Zell, a sixteenth-century widow of a Protestant priest.

The current article deals with historical and legal study of those legislative ideas that became the basis for introducing relations on the actual upbringing of a minor through the sphere of family law regulation. Using historical methodology, legal monuments of Soviet period – RSFSR KZAGS of 1918, CoMF of RSFSR of 1926, and RSFSR CoMF of 1969 are analyzed. In the context of the political and socio-economic development of society in this historical period, the author examines the legislative motives that led to the introduction of the relationship between the actual teacher and the pupil in the sphere of alimony for persons belonging to other family members. Analyzing specific historical, social, scientific and legal reality which there was a actual phenomenon of education in, the authors know the logic of legal thinking of the legislator who asked for the relationship of child-rearing, do not have an explicit legal basis, legal name in the form refer to it through the design of the actual education and as to the education of his family.

The paper presents the Lithuanian agricultural land users change analysis in almost a century period. The reasons leading to agricultural land users change trends were analysed. The main factors affecting the relationship of land use and the way of the land use are political changes in the country, economic and social aspects have less impact. Therefore, taking into account the political situation in Lithuania of this long analysed period, the agricultural land users change was analysed in three stages, which took place at the time of the conversion of reforms: land use between 1920 and 1940, land use during the Soviet period between 1940 and1990, and land use after the restoration of Lithuania's independence between 1990 and 2014. After the analysis of the land use of these periods land use characteristics of appropriate epochs as well as the land users’ change trends (of the entire period) and their causes are presented in the paper.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.

Electron microscopy has proved to be an invaluable discipline in studies on the relationship of viruses to the origin of leukemia, sarcoma, and other types of tumors in animals and man. The successful cell-free transmission of leukemia and sarcoma in mice, rats, hamsters, and cats, interpreted as due to a virus or viruses, was proved to be due to a virus on the basis of electron microscope studies. These studies demonstrated that all the types of neoplasia in animals of the species examined are produced by a virus of certain characteristic morphological properties similar, if not identical, in the mode of development in all types of neoplasia in animals, as shown in Fig. 1.

In RBL-2H3 rat leukemic mast cells, crosslinking IgE-receptor complexes with anti-IgE antibody leads to degranulation. Receptor crosslinking also stimulates the redistribution of receptors on the cell surface, a process that can be observed by labeling the anti-IgE with 15 nm protein A-gold particles as described in Stump et al. (1989), followed by back-scattered electron imaging (BEI) in the scanning electron microscope. We report that anti-IgE binding stimulates the redistribution of IgE-receptor complexes at 37“C from a dispersed topography (singlets and doublets; S/D) to distributions dominated sequentially by short chains, small clusters and large aggregates of crosslinked receptors. These patterns can be observed (Figure 1), quantified (Figure 2) and analyzed statistically. Cells incubated with 1 μg/ml anti-IgE, a concentration that stimulates maximum net secretion, redistribute receptors as far as chains and small clusters during a 15 min incubation period. At 3 and 10 μg/ml anti-IgE, net secretion is reduced and the majority of receptors redistribute rapidly into clusters and large aggregates.
