The paper presents the results of the anthropological study of a mass grave located in the grounds of the kremlin of Pereslavl-Zalessky (European Russia). It has been preliminary dated to the 13th — first half of the 14th century. This study is aimed at craniological investigation and establishing anthropological connections of the Medieval population of Pereslavl-Zalessky, as well as clarification of the circumstances of appearance of the mass burial within the town territory with the aid of anthropological methods. The human remains were analyzed to identify the number of individuals and to determine their sex and age. Determination of sex and age and recording of injuries were carried out on the craniological material. The craniological program was used to study 28 male and 16 female skulls. A canonical discriminant analysis was used for the intergroup analysis. The mass burial contained separated bones of 80 adults and 19 children. It was possible to identify 30 males and 24 females. The male component of the group was represented by virtually all age groups. The female part comprised mainly women aged 20–35. Therefore, the interred were placed in the grave spontaneously, considerably later after their death; the bodies had time to decompose completely. Eleven instances of skull injuries without signs of necrotic process and healing were recorded. The location and characteristics of the burial and presence of several instances of fatal lacerated wounds indicate that the city residents died in the course of a military clash. Therefore, the studied series represents a time slice of the population of the medieval city. The canonical discriminant analy-sis on the craniological series of 53 revealed that the studied series is distinct from the territorially and chronologically close series of Yaroslavl and Kostroma Krivichs. It also showed that the formation of the population of Pereslavl-Zalessky was strongly influenced by the migration of the Ilmen Slovens and Smolensk-Polotsk Krivichs. Among the specifics of the Pereslavl series, also noteworthy is the strong influence of southern Russian migrants. On the contrary, the influence of the Finno-Ugric morphological component on the urban population of the 13th–14th centuries was very insignificant.

SummaryWhole rock rubidium-strontium age determinations on granitic bodies in S.E. Uganda give ages of 2930 m.y. for the Masaba Granite and 2430 m.y. for the Buteba Granite and granitic gneisses. The former age is considered to represent the upper age limit of the post-Nyanzian orogeny, and 2430 m.y. the upper age limit of the post-Kavirondian orogeny. A second isochron age of 2100 m.y. for the Masaba Granite may reflect a second intrusion, or remobilization of part of the original granite associated with the Buganda–Toro orogeny. Tentative correlations are suggested between these age groups and others within the Tanzanian Shield and beyond.

The article describes the moral development in the structure of the legal and cultural organization of the personality of an adolescent with criticla social deviations. The problem of the study is a moral field of the personality of adolescents. The process of formation of moral judgments with regard to its dynamics from preconventional to postconventional levels of development in adolescents with illegal behavior is considered. A total of 60 adolescents with aggressive asocial behavior between the age of 14 and 17 were examined; they were suspected of committing various offenses; the criminal proceedings were instituted against them. The subjects were divided into two age groups: the first group is 14–15 years old, the second - 16–17 years old. The factor of residence of the subjects was taken into account (residents of Moscow and those who came from different regions of the Russian Federation). L. Kohlberg's technique was used to reveal the peculiarities of moral consciousness in the examined persons. The attention was paid to the levels of development of moral consciousness (preconventional, conventional and postconventional levels). The finding of the study is data about the development degree of moral judgments of adolescents with critical social deviations. The information on the age determination of moral development and depending on the region of residence of the subject is obtained.

The study was carried out with the aim of determining the tendencies to stay in agriculture by examining the socio-economic characteristics of the producers who applied to the supporting program of young farmers. In the TR-83 Region (Tokat, Amasya, Çorum, Samsun), have formed the main population the producers who applied to the Support Program (Young Farmer Project) of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock. The Method of Neyman was used in the determination of sample size. A total of 260 producers were surveyed with 120 Producers who benefit from the support of young farmers and 140 producers who cannot benefit from the support of young farmers. The data were evaluated comparatively according to the utilization status of the support. The rate of the producer, who said would migrate when the migration tendency of producers were investigated was determined as 17%. As well as producers who are saying that they should migrate to the city if they have the possibility, there are unstable producers (4%). There is about 21% migration potential among producers. The migration tendency was seen in the producers in low age groups. It is determined that the tendency to migrate is higher, farmers who high levels of education, farmers who have not non-agricultural income, farmers who think that there are difficulties in village life, farmers who believe that low standard of living, farmers who can’t make a living with the income they earn in the village, according to others.

Relative age determination was carried out on the skulls of 261 chacma baboons (Papio ursinus), 117 from the Loskopdam Nature Reserve and 144 from the Messina district in the Northern Transvaal. Seven age groups were distinguished, of which classes I-IV were based on the eruption and displacement of milk and permanent teeth. Adults with a complete set of permanent dentition were subdivided into three additional classes (V- VII), mainly on the basis of the degree of molar attrition. For comparative purposes the pattern of maturation of craniometric parameters which reflect the general size and shape of the skull, as well as the degree of closure of ectocranial sutures, were treated on the same basis. From this it is apparent that a most reliable estimate of relative age can be obtained by using all the above-mentioned criteria.

Usefulness of Selected Incisor Characteristics for Determining the Age of Hucul HorsesThe aim of this study was to assess the suitability of selected characteristics of incisors for age determination in Hucul horses. The study included 173 Hucul horses (137 mares, 28 stallions and 8 geldings) from one day to 27 years of age. Breeding documentation was used to determine the actual age of the horses, which were then divided into age groups. Each group of horses was assigned a specific incisor characteristic to help identify their age. Selected incisor characteristics were used to evaluate the age of the horses according to the method reported by Pruski (2007) and the results were compared with the actual age, indicating the percentage of errors made. It was found that most errors were made in the case of horses over 11 years old, when assessing the changing shape of the occlusal surface of incisors (Table 1). In this group the percentage of errors was significantly higher (P≤0.01) than that found for horses from the first three youngest age groups, in which the eruption time of deciduous incisors, the disappearance of cups on deciduous incisors and the eruption time of permanent incisors were taken into account. Compared to the above traits, errors were made significantly more often (P≤0.01) when age was determined based on the disappearance of permanent incisors, in a group of horses aged between 6 and 11 years. The eruption time of deciduous incisors and permanent incisors were the traits which enabled the most accurate determination of the horses' age. The results obtained suggest that age determination based on dentition is not accurate enough and can only play a subsidiary role, for example when no breeding records are available.

Cephalometry deals with the measurement of the head or radiological specimen of the head. Sella turcica is an important anatomical structure located in the middle cranial fossa, housing the pituitary gland. Various shapes and sizes of the sellae turcica have been reported. However, in this study, using computerized tomographic (CT) scans, one hundred and seventy-five (175) scans were analyzed using Radiant version 4.2 for determination of sizes and shapes of the sella. Average dimensions from the study include length (12.4mm), A-P diameter (14.1 m), depth (9.6 mm) and transverse diameter (13.8mm). Shapes were classified as being round (56.6%), oval (32%) and flat (11.4%). Males tend to have higher sella sizes than females and there are statistically               significant differences between them especially in respect to A-P diameter and length parameters. Also, there is a statistically significant relationship between age groups in terms of A-P diameter and depth of the sella turcica. However, there is no correlation between age and shapes found in the study.

In this study, it was aimed to make a comparative age determination in the population of Carassius carassius (Linnaeus, 1758) living in Duhok River. For this purpose, 71 fish samples (57 male and 14 female) were obtained. The bony structures vertebrae, scales, otoliths and operculum used in the age determination. The age groups determined for each bony structure. The number and percentage distributions of individuals in these groups were expressed with tables. The comparison of age matching between bony structures was expressed by figures. The most reliable bony structures were found as vertebrae, otolith, scales and operculum respectively. The highest consistency was observed in the vertebrae (70.42%). The ages changed between I and IX age in Carassius carassius in this study.

The article considers the means of determining gender identification of girls engaged in boxing and their impact on the training and competitive process. Purpose: to determine gender identification of qualified girls boxers. Material & Methods: the study involved qualified (participants, prize-winners, champions of local tournaments and championships of Ukraine in their age group) girls boxers 12-15 years old, who are engaged in the city children's and youth sports school. A total of 10 girls were interviewed, including 7 athletes aged 15 and 3 athletes aged 12 years, sports experience at the time of the study ranged from 3 to 5 years. Research methods used: S. Bem's method "masculinity - femininity"; Freiburg Personal Questionnaire (FPI) Masculinity Scale; analysis and generalization of literary sources; analysis of excerpts from the protocols of competitions and video viewing of semifinal, final matches of two championships of Ukraine; method of mathematical statistics. Results: it was determined that most girls (n = 9) with index values ​​(IS) in the range from -0,348 (± 0.05) to 0,580 (± 0.05) belong to the androgynous type according to the S.Bem classification. Only one athlete (n = 1) with indicators (IS) -1,276 belongs to the masculine type according to the classification of S. Bem. Determination of masculinity signs using the FPI test showed the number of points scored from 4 (± 2) to 9 out of 14 possible. Conclusions: The study proved the dominance of androgynous and masculine types in various sports in general. The ratio of gender types between individuals engaged in martial arts and boxing is revealed. The data on the dominance of the androgenic type of personality in the younger age groups of women's boxing have been supplemented. For more productive training of gender types of physical and special boxing exercises and forecasting of competitive activity, it is necessary to study individual psychological qualities of a girl-boxer. It is advisable in the subsequent stages of long-term training to conduct repeated tests of girls boxers of this research group in order to determine the progress of masculinization by age and sports experience and sports qualifications.

The objects of the study were the maps of the epidemiological survey of persons (26 people) infected with dirofilariae for the period 2013-2020 and living in the Omsk region, as well as dirofilaria helminths removed from the invaded residents (26 helminths). The type of helminths was determined by morphological characteristics, as well as by molecular biological methods. Dirofilaria DNA was detected by PCR with species-specific primers. Determination of the sequences of the obtained amplicons was determined by direct sequencing. The level of sequence homology was determined using GenBank. The material was statistically processed using Microsoft Excel 2010. Dirofilariasis is registered in people of all age groups, however, 73.1% of all cases are in people over 40 years old. Among the infected, women predominated, there were almost 2 times more of them than males. The affected people lived either within the city of Omsk and the adjacent recreational zone, or in the southern districts of the region. In 61.5% of cases, the helminth was localized in the organ of vision. According to the results of parasitological studies, in 80.8% of cases of all removed helminths, immature females were identified, in 19.2% - males. All remote helminths are morphologically assigned to the species D. repens. The species of six dirofilariae was confirmed by PCR with species primers and sequencing of amplification products, which showed almost 100% homology with the European sequences of D. repens published in GenBank. On the territory of the Omsk region, from one to four cases of local infection with dirofilariae are recorded annually. Omsk region can be classified as an area with a low risk of infection with dirofilariae, studies are needed to clarify the prevalence of pathogens of dirofilariasis in the northern regions of the region, as well as in general in Western Siberia to assess the risk of infection of the population, especially taking into account climatic changes. Key words: dirofilariosis, parasitic diseases, nematodes transmitted by mosquitoes
