В статье рассматриваются новые материалы, полученные в результате исследований на Затьмацком посаде Твери археологической экспедицией ТвГУ в 2020 г. Открыты комплексы с находками рубежа XII-XIII - XIV вв. Состав ранних находок идентичен выявленному ранее в раскопе 81: височные кольца, ромбовидная подвеска, линейнопрорезной бубенчик, стеклянные браслеты, бронзовые пластинчатые и витой браслеты и др. К XV-XVII вв. относится серия предметов личного благочестия и бытовые предметы. Выявлены находки, свидетельствующие о близости ювелирного производства в XV-XVI вв.: литейная форма, отливка крестика, обломки проволоки. Характер культурного слоя и сооружений свидетельствует о том, что исследованная территория являлась хозяйственной периферией по отношению к жилым и производственным комплексам усадеб XIII-XIV и XV-XVI вв., открытым в соседних раскопах 56, 81, 24. Направление частокольных канавок соответствует ориентации усадебных комплексов Затьмачья и свидетельствует о включенности этой территории в единую усадебно-уличную планировку посада в XVXVII вв., а возможно, и ранее. The paper explores new materials obtained through excavations of the Zat’matskiy posad (suburb) in Tver conducted by the Tver State University archaeological expedition in 2020. The excavations discovered assemblages containing finds from the turn of the 13th-18th centuries. The composition of the earlier finds is identical to that of the assemblage discovered in excavation trench 81: temporal rings, a rhomboid pendant, a bell with a linear slot on the bottom, glass bracelets, bronze plated bracelets and one twisted bracelet, etc. A series of items of personal piety and household goods refer to the 15th-17th centuries. There are finds that demonstrate characteristics typical of jewelry production in the 15th-16th centuries: a casting mold, a cast baptismal cross, and fragments of wire. Distinctive features of the occupation layer and constructions indicate that the excavated area was located on the periphery of residential and production buildings of the town estates dating to the 13th-14th centuries and the 15th-16th centuries discovered in adjacent excavation trenches 56, 81, and 24. The location of palisade ditches is consistent with the orientation of the estate ensembles in the Zat’matskiy area suggesting that this area was part of the estatestreet layout of the suburb in the 15th-17th centuries, and maybe even earlier.

Статья посвящена поиску семантики фертообразных символов на выполненной из талька створке литейной формы – случайной находке на распаханном Старокумлякском поселении в окрестностях г. Пласт Челябинской области. Артефакт датирован заключительным этапом бронзового века в Южном Зауралье. Четырежды повторенный один и тот же символ – изображение рогов барана, по мнению авторов, должен восприниматься как знак, отражающий корпоративную обрядовую практику, призванную обеспечить мастеру покровительство фарна. The paper is devoted to search ingsemantics of Ф-shaped symbols on a casting mold valve made from soap-stone which is a chance find at the tilled Starokumlyakskoye settlement near the town of Plastin the Chelyabinskregion. The artifact dates to the final stage of the Bronze Age in the southern Trans-Urals. In the view of the authors, the symbol representing ram horns which is reproduced four times is to be perceived as a sign reflecting corporate ritual practice intended to ensure that the blacksmith was under the protection of the khvarenah.

Data on the prevalence of pollen in the atmosphere is limited and almost non-existent for Lagos State and Nigeria. Pollen grains are known to be highly allergenic and thus they are potential causes of respiratory diseases. To investigate airborne incidence of pollen, so as to construct a pollen calendar and contribute to current trends in the development of aeropalynology/allergy study in Nigeria, three highly populated locations in Shomolu Local Government areas of Lagos State: University of Lagos, Bariga and Gbagada, were sampled. Aero-samplers were harvested monthly from January 2013 to December 2013. After acetolysis treatment and analysis, the total pollen count was 4393, belonging to 38 pollen taxa and 29 families. The main taxa include Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Amaranthaceae, Ludwigia and Alchornea. Monthly pollen counts were highest in October and lowest in June. Almost three-quarters of the total pollen content came from grasses and weeds. This composition reflects the ornamental and grassland flora of the town, as well as the natural vegetation surrounding the urban area. The total pollen concentration correlates positively with the temperature and negatively with the wind, rainfall and relative humidity, which was similar in the dominant taxa Amaranthaceae and Alchornea. Dominant taxa Cyperaceae and Ludwigia have significant positive correlation with wheezing cough. Results from this work will form the basis for a forecast service required to inform and educate the general public and allergy sufferers about pollen distribution in Lagos State.

The secret language of the Ḍoms, as of other Indian “Gipsy” tribes, is very unsatisfactorily known. I have made some remarks on it in vol. xi of Sir George Grierson's Linguistic Survey, where I have also given references to such other papers about the subject as I have come across. But very much remains to be done, and we must be thankful for the new materials which are now made available. The compiler of the list says about them:—“The following is a collection of words and sentences in use by the Magahiyā Ḍoms, who have made Benares their centre or fixed abode. The language is known to wandering Ḍoms in the Panjāb, and also to those who live in the United Provinces. It was apparently unknown to village Ḍoms in Bengal, though the town and city dwellers in some parts of the Province were familiar with it. Most of the words and sentences were obtained from gipsy Ḍoms who visited Benares in 1914, and then settled in the city, where they came under the influence of the Wesleyan Methodist Mission, of which the present writer was superintendent. The sedentary Ḍoms of Benares city and the village Ḍoms of the district are acquainted with this argot.

ABSTRACTObjective: to understand adolescents' knowledge about the nulliparous breastfeeding practices. Method: fieldwork, qualitative study in the town of Mossoró (RN), Brazil. The proposal was sent to the Ethics in Research State University of Rio Grande do Norte/UERN being approved as opinion n. 064/09. We applied a roadmap of semi-structured interviews with 10 female adolescents, aged between 12 and 17 years and had never gotten pregnant. The data were recorded, transcribed and analyzed by constructing categories. Results: about breastfeeding, young women interviewed demonstrated that they are "Knowing little or nothing, "Knowing what the program guide, "Knowing through other sources”. Perceives the need for greater coordination between family, school, health services and society as a whole, to enable information on the matter to adolescents, so that in future, when they came to be mothers, may play the act breastfeeding satisfactorily. Conclusion: Despite adolescents understand the importance of breastfeeding, their knowledge about the topic are very superficial and impregnated with acquired concepts and socio-culturally constructed.

Traditions of the Christianity centres’ formation can be found in Jerusalem’s oldest part where instead of domestic inhabitants’ dwellings the second king of Israel (around 1005 BC–965 BC) David built his residence on a top of the Temple Mount surrounded by deep valleys. His fortress – the City of David protected from the north side by inhabitants’ stone buildings on a slope was an unassailable public and spiritual centre that northwards extended up to the Ophel used for the governance. David’s son, king of Israel (around 970–931 BC) Solomon extended the fortified urban area where Templum Solomonis was built. In Livonia, Bishop Albrecht obtained spacious areas, where he established bishoprics and towns. At foothills, residential building of inhabitants like shields guarded Bishop’s residence. The town-shield was the Dorpat Bishopric’s centre Dorpat and the Ösel–Wiek Bishopric’s centre Haapsalu. The town of Hasenpoth in the Bishopric of Courland (1234–1583) was established at subjugated lands inhabited by the Cours: each of bishopric's urban structures intended to Bishop and the Canonical Chapter was placed separately in their own village. The main subject of research: the town-shields’ planning in Livonia. Research problem: the development of town-shields’ planning at bishoprics in Livonia during the 13th and 14th century have been studied insufficiently. Historians in Latvia often do not take into account studies of urban planning specialists on historical urban planning. Research goal: to determine common and distinctive features of town-shield design in bishoprics of Livonia. Research novelty: town-shield plans of Archbishop’s and their vassals’ residences and capitals in Livonian bishoprics subjected to the Riga Archbishopric are analyzed. Results: study formation of Livonian town-shields’ layout and structure of the 13th and 14th centuries. Main methods: inspection of town-shields in nature, analysis of archive documents, projects, cartographic materials.

The article presents the results of a comparative content-analytical sociological study of city newspapers of thirteen million-strong cities in comparison to editions of six small and four medium-sized towns of Russia. The research, conducted by Faculty of Journalism of Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2013-2017, shows that thematic models of these city newspapers issued in different localities along with common features also have essential distinctions. In megalopolis newspapers, in general, the thematic field is very wide, though editorial offices do not pay equal attention to different subjects. Two thematic disproportions were found in the content of newspapers of million-strong cities. The media picture that prevails in their content is generally concentrated on the sphere of leisure and consumption, hardly mentioning productive, professional life of citizens. The second disproportion is connected with the fact that the main attention is paid to social problems of everyday life, the habitat, infrastructure of big cities, but not the person, persons inner world, values, morals, psychology, and relationship with other people. Media of million-strong cities rather work in line with a commercial paradigm. The research has shown that the smaller the town is, the closer newspapers are to requirements and problems which concern inhabitants, they try to light the most important spheres of their life and more evenly distribute the attention to different aspects of activity of the readers, including history, traditions, national crafts. Newspapers of the medium-sized and small towns reflect objective needs of citizens; help to solve specific problems, to keep traditions and basic values.

abstract The Taltal area, which lies within the coastal cordillera of northern Chile, is dominated by a group of major active faults that cut a eugeosynclinal section of predominantly Jurassic andesites overlying Paleozoic metamorphic and plutonic rocks and intruded by Late Mesozoic plutons. The Atacama fault, a suggested regional strike-slip fracture parallel to the coastline, has been obliquely cut and left-laterally offset 10 km by the Taltal fault, which passes through the town of Taltal. Three distinctive features were found to be consistently offset 10 km by the Taltal fault: the easternmost strand of the Atacama fault, an intrusive contact, and a unique volcanic unit. Former continuity of the Atacama fault through the Taltal region is proposed, and subsequent disruption by the Taltal fault appears to have caused major structural readjustments in the still-active Atacama fault zone. The tentative offshore epicenter and aftershock distribution of the December 28 earthquake are not directly correlative with faults that have been mapped in the nearby on-shore areas; this lack of correlation is not surprising in view of the suggested depths of hypocenters in the lower crust or upper mantle.

The article examines the century long way of formation and development of historical science at the Belarusian State University. It is concluded that from the very beginning of the university’s activity, the most important directions of historical research were formed in it. A special place was occupied by Belarusian studies, which became the sphere of professional activity of both historians and archaeologists, ethnographers, source researchers, historiographers, and archivists. At the same time, Russian and Slavic history was also deeply studied and since the 1920s. Belarusian antiquity, media studies, novistics et cetera has originated. It is noted that such a wide range of studies was largely determined by the fact that the university had to train specialists in the relevant fields of knowledge. Historians of BSU initiated the creation of separate research societies and institutions, including the Institute of Belarusian Culture and the Belarusian Academy of Sciences. Highlighted the stages of development of university historical science, which were characterised by their distinctive features and were determined by socio-political factors. The current state of the historical science of BSU is outlined.
