SummaryAn analysis is made of results from early stages of testing of promising hybrids. The data consist of single-replicate trials performed by Norddeutsche Pflanzenzucht in 6 locations (5 in Poland and one in Germany). In total 165 hybrids were tested with 3 standard varieties. The subject of the analysis was the seed yield. Three measures of stability were used. The yield of tested hybrids is expressed as percentage of that of standard varieties. Wricke’s ecovalence expressed as a contribution to G x E interaction was used as a measure of stability. Additional characterization of the tested hybrids was performed by regressing hybrid yield on the mean yields of the experiment, as described by Finlay and Wilkinson and by Eberhart and Russel. The methods applied enabled selection of the most promising hybrids for further yield testing.

Conclusão: Os genótipos agruparam-se em cinco classes de acordo com o teste de média, subsidiando a caracterização de um gradiente de variabilidade da característica avaliada ABSTRACTIntroduction: Coffea canephora accounts for approximately 35% of the world's coffee production. The state of Rondônia stands out as a traditional coffee producer, being the second largest Brazilian producer of C. canephora. In the classical genetic improvement of C. anephora, the selection of plants of high average sieve is associated with a drink of superior quality. Objectives: The objective of this udy was to evaluate the genetic variability of Coffea canephora clones for the agronomic medium sieve (PM). Materials and Methods: The experiment was conducted in the experimental field of Embrapa, municipality of OuroPreto do Oeste-RO, located at coordinates 10º44'53 "S and 62º12'57". One hundred thirty genotypes (clones) of botanical characteristics Conilon, Robusta and intervarietal hybrids were evaluated in the agricultural years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. The experimental design was a randomized block design with four blocks and four plants per plot, spacing 3.5 x 1.5 meters between plants. Results: Significant difference was found for the grain size. According to the F test, at 5% probability, the genotypes were grouped into five classes according to the mean test. Conclusion: The results obtained subsidized the characterization of a variability gradient of the evaluated trait.

Introduction: A rigorous characterization of the impact of residential status of medical students (hostelites vs. day scholars) on the particulars of their academic performance has been lacking in Pakistan. Objective: To determine the relation of residential status of third year MBBS students to their academic performance in Forensic Medicine based on comparison of their pre-professional and professional examinations results during 2019. Materials & Methods: A comparative study was conducted from August to October 2019 on the examination performance of third year MBBS students of Rehman Medical College, Peshawar in the subject of Forensic Medicine. The results of theory and viva pre-professional and professional examinations were compared and categorized by residential status of students (Hostelites or Day Scholars). Students were categorized into groups according to their academic performance. Descriptive and Comparative data analysis was performed by SPSS 22.0, keeping p≤0.05 as significant. Results: No significant difference was found in the mean marks of hostelites and day scholars in pre-professional and professional examinations. The trend of significant improvement from pre-professional to professional examinations was similar in both groups, and it applied to both the theory and viva examinations. A significant correlation existed between the performance in two examinations among all students with no difference between the hostelites and day scholars. Conclusion: Residential status of MBBS students had no effect on their academic performance in the subject of Forensic Medicine. Keywords: Academic performance, Forensic Medicine, hostelites, day scholars

At ICARDA, germplasm collections obtained from five countries namely, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Syria, Nepal and Pakistan were grouped in to seven sets of trials (BANG1, BANG2, ICARDA, ETH1, ETH2, NEP, PAK) and evaluated in two experimental locations, Tel Hadya and Breda over eight years. Characterization was done for the most desirable agronomic traits such as days to first flowering, days to 95 % maturity, biological yield, seed yield, hundred seed weight and Harvest index. Significant genotypic and interaction effect were found for the expression of the traits. Substantial amount of variability was revealed in the germplasm collections for most of the traits. High broad sense heritability was observed for days to first flowering and hundred seed weight indicating early phenotypic selection of these two traits. The stability over years for the seed yield (in terms of the CV), identified promising accessions such as ILG2178 in BANG1 and ILG1721, ILG1632, ILG1624, ILG1540 and ILG1501 for future breeding.

The monitoring of respiratory rate is a relevant factor in medical applications and day-to-day activities. Contact sensors have been used mostly as a direct solution and they have shown their effectiveness, but with some disadvantages for example in vulnerable skins such as burns patients. For this reason, contactless monitoring systems are gaining increasing attention for respiratory detection. In this paper, we present a new non-contact strategy to estimate respiratory rate based on Eulerian motion video magnification technique using Hermite transform and a system based on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The system tracks chest movements of the subject using two strategies: using a manually selected ROI and without the selection of a ROI in the image frame. The system is based on the classifications of the frames as an inhalation or exhalation using CNN. Our proposal has been tested on 10 healthy subjects in different positions. To compare performance of methods to detect respiratory rate the mean average error and a Bland and Altman analysis is used to investigate the agreement of the methods. The mean average error for the automatic strategy is 3.28 ± 3.33 % with and agreement with respect of the reference of ≈98%.

The subject of the present work is Wolfgang Herrndorf’s award-winning youth novel Tsch- ick (i.e. “German Youth Literature Prize” (2011) and “Clemens Brentano Prize” (2012)). The novel, released in 2010, has sold more than two million copies to date and has been translated into more than 25 languages. In the novel, the story is told by Maik Klingenberg, a fourteen- year-old teenager who is left devastated by the surrounding circumstances and his outsider position before the summer holidays, but through his friendship with Tschick (during the summer holidays) experiences a solution and development process that changes his view of the world and his positioning to his environment and to himself in a positive way. The main focus of the work lies on the (explicit and implicit) character selection, characterization and constellation in the text. The methodological approach to textual analysis is based on insights from narratology, sociology and psychoanalysis. After a theoretical-introductory part, the text-analytical part begins with the selection of the staff of the fictitious world depicted in the novel and shows that the author’s novel gives a pluralistic-heterogeneous-inter- or transcul- tural social image of the German capital Berlin and its (wider) environment. In the following chapter of the work, the introductory characterization of the main character and the related figure constellations will be discussed in more detail. It is shown that Herrndorf uses these constellations to address the complex interrelation between the individual and various col- lective identities, such as those into which the subject is born (Maik’s parents), and those to whom the subject belongs based on the present circumstances of life (Maik’s teacher and the other students of the school). The focus of analysis of the following part lies on those figure constellations that have arisen as a result of Maik’s escape from the structures crushing him (Maik’s voluntary social interactions and friendly ties) and by which the author refers to the dynamic constitution of personal identity, of which the developmental process defies static defining and reveals the possibility of self-change and self-development. Based on the pre- viously given text analysis, the last part of the thesis gives a conclusion corresponding to the analysis results.

The subject of this article is the origins of the poem “Hadji Abrek” by M. Y. Lermontov, question of location where the events take place, as well as the question of the possible impact of folk poetic oeuvres upon the work of Mikhail Lermontov. The article describes different opinions and interpretations (within the format of the article) on the topic, to the exclusion of “emphatic” commentaries and remarks. The object of this research is folklore and historical materials that contribute to revelation of idea of the poem, description of the protagonists, characterization of the Caucasian and Dagestan folklore, the echoes of which are traces in Lermontov’s poems.  The authors underline that geographical and ethnographic “nuances” were used by Lermontov to describe the forming picture in the mountain country. The novelty of this study consists in analysis of the material testifying that the inclusion of “installations” of another nation is substantiated in the poem, not just because it is somewhat of a tribute to romanticism, but it is also marks Lermontov’s comprehension of the folklore as an untouchable ”heart” of culture and ethnic uniqueness. The acquired results contribute to the scientific Caucasian studies and Lermontov studies. The conclusion is made of folklore in Lermontov's poem indicates a number of defining characteristics that allowed determining individual expression of poet's work. It is reflected in selection of the examples of folk poetry, peculiar regard to the sources, and their deflection in the poem.

The relevance of the article is that the method of committing a criminal offense is one of the central elements of the forensic characterization of criminal offenses, which provides the largest amount of forensic information, which allows the investigator to navigate the crime and determine the best methods of investigation. The article substantiates that the method of committing theft in a large city depends on objective factors (situation, time, place of commission; object of encroachment, its qualitative and quantitative features; the presence of tools or access to them; the commission of preparatory actions; the presence of accomplices and their qualifications) and subjective (availability of «professional knowledge», physical condition and psychological characteristics of the offender) nature. It was found that the preparation for committing theft in a large city involved the choice of the subject of criminal encroachment; preliminary reconnaissance of the place; development of a plan of criminal actions; observation of the place where the property is stored, or of the property itself; distribution of roles for theft; selection and preparation of the place of storage of stolen property; selection of technical means for penetration into the premises where the property is stored; search for technical means for transportation of stolen property. It is determined that the establishment of a method of committing theft in a large city is the basis for the promotion of operational and investigative and investigative versions and the development of certain tactics. This allows to concentrate the necessary forces and means in the places of probable theft, to provide effective operational maintenance of the most criminogenic objects. In addition, knowledge of the methods of committing thefts in a large city allows the investigator (coroner) to methodically correctly determine the directions of pre-trial investigation of criminal proceedings. It should be added that offenders, in turn, seek to use methods that would significantly complicate the investigation or make it impossible. For this purpose, new ways of committing a criminal offense and its concealment are being sought and modified.

The article is devoted to the general characterization of the international standards for the formation of the corps of judges and the corresponding administrative procedures as a basis for improving the guarantees of independence of the court and judges, to determine on this basis the key ways of introducing these standards into the domestic system of legislation in order to resolve specific and specific other issues. It is substantiated that it is expedient to organize the international standards of formation of the corps of judges in the context of guaranteeing the independence of the court and judges according to the criterion of the object of their influence. According to this criterion, standards were identified concerning: recruitment of judges; staffing the subject of appointment of judges to positions; training of judges; guarantees during the service. In the course of the study, it was determined that in order to specify the notion of substantial disciplinary misconduct as a circumstance, which makes it impossible to appoint a judge, it is advisable to amend the Law «Оn the Judiciary and Status of Judges»: to supplement part 4 of Article 69 with paragraph 2, in which to specify the notion of substantial discipline misdemeanor as a circumstance, which makes it impossible to appoint a judge; amend Article 69, paragraph 4, after the words «for committing a material disciplinary offense» by the words «except as provided in the second paragraph of this paragraph». There are two ways to implement international standards in the work of the judiciary on the formation of a corps ofjudges. The first is the transfer of some of the powers of the High Qualifications Commission of Judges of Ukraine (including the selection of judges to the post) to the competence of the High Council of Justice. In the other part of its authority, the High Qualifications Commission of Judges of Ukraine must remain in charge of the judicial self-government bodies. The second is the complete retention of the relevant powers under the High Qualifications Commission of Judges of Ukraine, leaving the issue of the formation of the High Qualifications Commission of Judges of Ukraine within the jurisdiction of judicial self-governing bodies. The first way is recommended. In the course of the research, it was determined that guarantees of independence of the judiciary are purely practical categories. Actually enshrining them in the legislation will not guarantee the independence of the judicial branch of power, and in particular − the independence of judges in the resolution of court cases. Such guarantees only work if they are actually secured.

The article covers some aspects of the investigation of mass riots. The essence and system of forensic characterization of the specified actions for their faster and more effective investigation are considered. It is noted that a criminal offense has a large number of characteristics, which in criminology are systematized in such a scientific category as «forensic characteristics». For half a century the criminological characteristic has entered into a technique of investigation of criminal offenses as a stable element. With regard to mass riots, it should be emphasized that the investigation of these acts has important features, which, inter alia, are related to the study of a certain category. The position of the authors is supported, who believe that for police officers who are directly in-volved in the investigation, the most important thing is the practical application of a tool that will help in the investigation process. That is, the real value of the forensic characterization of a particular type of crime is the possibility of its practical application, the ability to resolve certain issues in view of it and, of course, the ability to make it to investigate certain categories of crimes faster and more efficient. At the same time, the use of such an information system requires in each case to identify a key element through which you can make a «login» to the system in order to obtain the necessary information. The selection of a key element for a particular case depends on the investigative situation at this stage of the investigation. The author concludes that a forensic characterization is a system of information about forensically significant features of criminally punishable acts of a certain type, which reflects the legitimate links between them and serves to build and verify investigative versions during their investigation. The system of forensic characteristics of mass riots includes the following elements: the method of committing a criminal offense; the situation of mass riots; the subject of the criminal act; traces of the offense; the identity of the victim; the identity of the offender. Keywords: mass riots, organization, tactics, investigative (search) actions, forensic description.

Specialist bibliography offers an equation of the CML, but no formulae for market portfolio' s risk and return. It is connected with the omission of the equation of hyperbola, illustrating the interdependence between risk and return of a two-element portfolio. Co-ordinates of point C are the key for the selection of a portfolio with a predetermined risk of return from a ·CML. This paper fills in this gap. The paper also illustrates an issue of the short sale. Problems with the application of the above theory to multi-element portfolios consist in the fact that, starting from three-element portfolio, three is no clear equivalent of the equation determining the relation between return and risk. In a market portfolio the fundamental importance is attached to an adequate tangent to the hyperbola, its equation, and a point of tangency with the hyperbola. It means that it is impossible to apply the problem to the case of a portfolio assembled of a range of stocks (at least three) and one kind of bonds. Modifying the notion of a market portfolio by introducing a new notion of the so-called arbitrarily small risk portfolio, the author of this paper has achieved the possibility of a uniform characterization of portfolios assembled from any number of elements. A paper on the subject is prepared for publication.
