The first decade of the 20th century was a period of huge advances and expansion in the Latvian translation scene. New, contemporary authors’ works became available to Latvian readers. The Latvian readership was consciously being integrated into general European literary trends. It was also a heyday of periodicals that published numerous translations, including numerous novels. There are countless parallel translations even reaching double digits. Translations included various genres and the traditional Latvian interest in plays was obvious. German was gradually losing its dominant positions as both a source and intermediate language, Russian was advancing. This period also saw a change of generations among translators, and with the new generation women became visible in translation scene. Practically all Latvian writers were also active translators. The translation method changed from localisation to a fidelity mode with a tendency towards foreignisation. Frequently translations now had prefaces and explanations by the translators. Translated literature now ranged from serious classical works to modern ones and from pulp literature to high quality creations. The quality of translations was also very varied. The expansion of translation and the cultivation of new domains went hand in hand with the development of the Latvian language itself.

The paper looks at the Latvian translation scene at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. It is a continuation of the study of translation history in Latvia reflected in previous issues of Vertimo studijos (vol. 7, 8, 11). These decades are marked by a huge growth of translation, especially in periodicals. German was gradually losing its dominant position as a source and intermediate language, Russian was advancing, so was also the scope of other languages. In contrast to previous periods there was a particular interest in the quality of the originals and modernity.This period also saw a change of generations among translators, and women became visible in translation scene. Translators among whom there were all the great Latvian writers gradually emerged as professionals. Frequently translations had prefaces and explanations by the translators. There were numerous parallel translations of the same works, some reaching up to ten versions. Translations included various genres and the traditional Latvian interest in plays was very obvious. So was the focus on specialised literature on agriculture. The translation method changed from localisation to a fidelity mode with a tendency to apply elements of foreignisation.

Abstract In the modern world, sequencing is an integral part of medicine, biology and other scientific fields. The Illimina / Solexa method is a new generation method and relates to methods of mass parallel sequencing. One of the features of using this method is the sequential pumping of various chemicals through the flow cell in which the reaction occurs. For uniformity and high quality of DNA sequencing, it is necessary that the amount of gas in liquids be minimized. Because many it can adversely affect both during chemical reactions and at the stage of recording reaction results. This article will examine the sequencing system using the Illumina\Solexa method using bubble sensors. An algorithm was developed that periodically receives information from bubble sensors in a microfluidic tube. The information received is processed and allows at certain stages to report deviations from the normal conditions for sequencing. The experimental results are presented.

This text provides a brief introduction to the chapters focusing on the Islamic West. Long neglected by Anglophone academics, this region was pivotal in the development of Islamic art history and archaeology as a discipline, but, over the course of the 20th century it came to be regarded as peripheral to broader debates in Islamic archaeology. Since the 1970s, a new generation of Islamic archaeologists working in Europe, North Africa, and the Sahara has transformed our understanding of the region, though the amount and quality of research remains uneven in different countries.

In the states which formed on the territory of the former Yugoslavia, ethnic/national cultures are developing independently, alongside a parallel shared post-Yugoslav culture. This culture is not a continuation of the official cultural collaboration between the Yugoslav nations which took place when Yugoslavia existed, rather it is a new phenomenon. It is appearing in opposition to nationalism, against the closing off of culture into narrow ethno-national frames and is based on the genuine existence of a cultural unity older than the common state which was created from the common Yugoslav state itself. It seeks creative responses to the problems caused by the wars and collapse of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. It also looks for the appropriate analytical instruments. The author uses the Biblioteka XX vek (The 20th Century Library) as an example – the book series which he founded and publishes in the field of humanities and social sciences. The alternative post-Yugoslav culture is characterised by the high quality of what it offers. However, its protagonists are simultaneously criticised by the nationalist circles in power in the states formed after the dissolution of Yugoslavia, who consider the post-Yugoslav cultural unity an alleged national betrayal.

A full balanced nutrition is a necessary condition for a person’s normal physical and mental development, resistance to the effects of adverse environmental factors and strengthening immunity, which is of particular importance in the bad ecological situation in the world. Providing the population with high-quality bio-functional food is an important state task, the fulfillment of which is the key to the health of the nation, and ultimately ensures the security of the country. One of the effective ways to prevent and treat various diseases is the development of a new generation of functional dessert products with dietary properties. As a basis, there has been a principle considered, i.e., the high nutritional, biological value and physiological activity of the product are predetermined by the high quality of the raw materials. The article analyzes the state of the dairy industry at the present stage. The efficiency of melon and watermelon concentrates in the production of multicomponent dairy dessert has been substantiated. The positive effect of the tested concentrates on the structural and mechanical properties of the jelly part of the dessert, organoleptic characteristics and nutritional value of the product has been established. The optimal concentration of the gelling agent in the jelly has been determined. There were some conducted experiments aimed at maximum reducing of the gelling agent’s weight fraction in the product.

Continuously Cast

Free-cutting steel gains specific working properties thanks to the high content of sulfur and phosphorus. These elements, especially sulfur, have a rather high tendency to segregation. Therefore, segregation defects in free-cutting steel continuously cast billets can be significantly developed. The aim of the work was to study the influence of the chemical composition of freecutting steel and casting technological parameters on the quality of the macrostructure of continuously cast billets. A metallographic assessment of the internal structure of cast metal made of free-cutting steel and data processing by application of correlation and regression analysis were the research methods. The array of production data of 43 heats of free-cutting steel of grade A12 was studied. Steel casting on a five-strand radial type continuous casting machine was carried out by various methods of metal pouring from tundish into the molds. Metal of 19 heats was poured with an open stream, and 24 heats – by a closed stream through submerged nozzles with a vertical hole. High-quality billets had a cross-sectional size of 150×150 mm. The macrostructure of high-quality square billets made of free-cutting steel of A12 grade is characterized by the presence of central porosity, axial segregation and peripheral point contamination, the degree of development of which was in the range from 1.5 to 2.0 points, segregation cracks and strips – about 1.0 points. In the course of casting with an open stream, almost all of these defects are more developed comparing with the casting by a closed stream. As a result of correlation and regression analysis, linear dependences of the development degree of segregation cracks and strips both axial and angular on the sulfur content in steel and on the ratio of manganese content to sulfur content were established. The degree of these defects development increases with growing of sulfur content in steel of A12 grade. These defects had especially strong development when sulfur content in steel was of more than 0.10%. To improve the quality of cast metal, it is necessary to have the ratio of the manganese content to the sulfur content in the metal more than eight.

Methodological Aspects

The transthoracic echocardiography made by multifrequency probes with support of the mode of the second harmonic imaging, is a competitive method for visualization of the main coronary arteries and allows to estimate coronary blood flow with high quality. Of course, the method has considerable restrictions, most important of which is the low spatial resolution of a method, due to small acoustic window. Because of this the transthoracic visualization of coronary arteries perhaps will not become the leading method of anatomic reconstruction of separately taken coronary artery and especially all coronary arteries system. However uniqueness and indisputable advantage of this method is an opportunity to noninvasively estimate a coronary blood flow both once, and in dynamics.
