This article is dedicated to famous Lviv archaeologist Markian-Orest Smishko, whose 120-th anniversary is celebrated by the scientific community on November 7, 2020. The life and scientific activity of archaeologists during periods of different political regimes are displayed on the basis of a large source base. Lion’s share of the researcher’s archives is preserved in Lviv. However, most of them, in particular, materials from the family archive, were introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. M. Smishko was born, lived and worked all his life in Lviv. His formation as an archaeologist can be dated back to the interwar period and is associated with the Polish University of Lviv. Till 1939, he discovered, researched, and put into scientific circulation a large number of archaeological sites that made his name well-known. Special place in his scientific research of this time belongs to sites of the Early Roman period. Simultaneously, M. Smishko conducted classes for students, took part on scientific grants, organized archaeological collection of the University and restored archaeological finds. He was one of L. Kozłowski’s favorite pupils. The next stage of M. Smishko’s life is connected with academic archeology of Lviv. From 1940 to 1961, M. Smishko headed the Department of Archeology, which was a leading academic institution in western Ukraine. Initially, it was Lviv Department of the Institute of Archeology of Academy of Sciences of USSR, and since February 1951 – Department of Archeology of the Institute of Social Sciences of Academy of Sciences of USSR. Here M. Smishko showed himself best as a scientist and organizer of academic activity, carried out his most resonant field research, published most important scientific works, including «Карпатські кургани І тисячоліття нашої ери» («Carpathian barrows of the first millennium AD») (1960) in which he distinguished a separate archaeological culture of Carpathian Tumuli, defended his doctoral dissertation (1965), raised a whole constellation of his pupils and followers. Key words: Markian Smishko, barrows, cemeteries, burial sites, Early Slavic archeology, Roman period, Carpathian Tumuli culture, glass workshop, Komariv.

Background: A number of books, articles and checklists have been published on Lesotho’s flora. The species presented here have been recorded for South Africa but have not previously been recorded for Lesotho.Objectives: As part of a study aimed at updating biodiversity records of the southern parts of Lesotho (Qacha’s Nek and Quthing districts), with the main focus of compiling a checklist for the Sehlabethebe National Park, this report presents plant species that have until now not been recorded for the Lesotho flora.Method: Several field trips were undertaken between 2004 and 2009. Plant identification was done based on observation and photographic records. After the compilation of the checklist, it became clear that two of the species observed had not been previously recorded for Lesotho. A follow-up trip was carried out in February 2016, during which plant specimens of the presumed new records were collected and deposited at the National University of Lesotho Herbarium (ROML) [and the University of Johannesburg Herbarium (JRAU)]. Plant identification was confirmed by experts in the family Apocynaceae.Results: Two species not previously recorded for Lesotho, namely Ceropegia africana subsp. barklyi and Duvalia caespitosa subsp. caespitosa, were found during the exploration of the southern parts of Lesotho which included the Sehlabathebe National Park.Conclusions: The fact that two species have been recorded in Lesotho for the first time clearly indicates that documentation of the flora of Lesotho needs to be updated. This work is therefore regarded as complementary to previous publications on the Lesotho flora.

Os estudantes possuem pouco conhecimento sobre a atividade científica que se desenvolve na universidade. Este fato limita sua participação e envolvimento nessas atividades e gera certa apreensão e temor, consequência de medos e inseguranças, já que a pesquisa é entendida como algo reservado aos escolhidos. Além disso, a pouca motivação para a pesquisa apareceu relacionada à experiência vivida nas disciplinas dos conteúdos de pesquisa, a dinâmica e a didática utilizada pela maioria dos professores, assim como a desarticulação entres estas disciplinas, com as disciplinas da área disciplinar.

A field research was developed, from a qualitative perspective, supported in Phenomenology with students from the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences, from the University of Carabobo (Venezuela). Discussion groups and participant observation were used to capture the information. A total of five groups were organized, three with seven participants and two with six; all students from the Schools of Commercial Administration and Public Accounting. From the results it emerged that the training for scientific research, during the career, is carried out through the lectureships of the research component. It was noted that student resistance to research activity, during their university training, is anchored to the existence of a gap, which has arisen between the research activity carried out by professors in the institution and the activity that students carry out in their Special Degree Work. Students have little knowledge regarding the scientific activity that takes place in the university, which limits their participation and involvement in these activities and generates a certain apprehension and fear due to the unknown and insecurities, since research is seen as something reserved for the "chosen ones". Furthermore, the low motivation towards research appeared related to the experience lived in the lectureships of the research component, the dynamics and didactics used by most of the professors; as well as the disarticulation between these lectureships with the ones of the disciplinary area. Despite this, the students considered that executing the final research project of the Special Degree Work is relevant in their professional training, due to its academic usefulness and its potential to strengthen disciplinary knowledge.

Investigation of Eriosomatidae in Belarus started in the 1900s. However, a regional checklist of Eriosomatidae aphids was not published till now. Based on material preserved in the collections of Belarusian State University and the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and data scattered across publications we have compiled the first comprehensive list of Eriosomatidae recorded from Belarus and briefly analysed it from the geographical and ecological points of views. The list includes 12 genera and 27 species. Pemphigus passeki Börner, 1952 has been recorded from Belarus for the first time. The registered diversity is less abundant than in the adjacent Poland. In the accordance with the global pattern of aphids host plant connections, a single species permanently inhabit woody plants (monoecious species), the other ones are dioecious and migrate from woody plants to woody (eight species) or herbaceous (12 species) plants. Four species is anholocyclic.

Not all those who contributed to the culture of information were members of the bourgeoisie. In the area of visual representation, two names—Cassini and Harrison—illustrate how widely the culture of information had spread to all classes of society. For over a century, four generations of Cassinis dominated French astronomy and cartography. The founder of this illustrious lineage, Giovanni Domenico Cassini (1625 –1712), was a professor of astronomy at the University of Bologna when he was recruited to head the Paris Observatory in 1669. He became a French citizen, changed his name to Jean-Dominique Cassini, and entered into the privileged elite of the Old Regime. At the observatory, Jean Cassini discovered the rotation of the planets and developed a method of determining longitude by sighting the moons of Jupiter. He also launched the most elaborate cartographic project of his time, the map of France known as “la carte de Cassini.” His son Jacques Cassini (1677–1756), known as Cassini II, succeeded him at the observatory and as a member of the French Academy of Sciences. Jacques carried on his father’s work of measuring the arc of the meridian—a necessary but preliminary step in constructing an accurate map of France. In this effort, which was to take fifty years, Jacques Cassini was seconded by his son César-François Cassini de Thury (1714 –1784), known (of course) as Cassini III, who was also a member of the Academy and director of the observatory. When César-François died in 1784, his son Jacques-Dominique (1748 – 1845), count of Cassini (Cassini IV), carried on as head of the observatory, member of the academy, and director of the map project. The Cassinis’ Carte de France, completed in 1793, was a masterpiece of Old Regime cartography. Jacques­ Dominique’s son Gabriel (1784 –1832) broke with the family tradition and became a botanist. In contrast to this story of distinction and privilege, John Harrison’s life was one of struggle and hardship, rewarded by success only at the very end. Harrison (1693 –1776) was the son of a carpenter who taught himself how to build clocks.

The article is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Petro Talanchuk, member of the Academy of Sciences. The author examines the scholar’s surname, its etymology but also stresses that it was tireless work, will and perseverance of P. Talanchuk that enabled him to create many a seminal work. The author reveals that he has discovered Talanchuk exuberant talent three times in his life. The first time was in 1989, when, dismissal and career risks notwithstanding, P. Talanchuk in his capacity as Rector of Kyiv Polytechnic University allowed the first convocation of the National Movement of Ukraine to gather in the hall of the educational establishment. The second time the author admired P. Talanchuk was when the latter established and developed the Open International University of Human Development ‘Ukraine’ that has operated for more than 20 years. The third time the author discovered for himself this towering academician was in the course of editing the latter’s journalistic book. These situations have made an indelible impression on the author, therefore prompting him to refer to these ‘discoveries’ as the moments of truth. The article also gives an outline of P. Talanchuk’s writings and singles out the main features distinguishing the scientist from others. According to the author, the paramount feature of Talanchuk’s works is the combination of scientific and emotional character. He attributes it to the fact that our thoughts are driven by technical and scientific thinking, but we write through the lens of our hearts, thus prompting the reader to perceive a text with his mind and spirit. The scientific and journalistic styles create a comprehensive outlook and hold the reader’s interest at the same time. The second paramount feature is dedication to the chosen cause, including educational reforms, the establishment of the University ‘Ukraine’, and experience in the field of education. According to the author, the gift of a publicist lies in putting one’s thoughts simply and figuratively, since these instruments make the said texts the embodiment of top-tier journalism. The third particular feature is P. Talanchuk high patriotism, since the image of Ukraine lies at the core in each of his writings. The author underscores that P. Talanchuk has paid much attention to the problems of the Ukrainian language and coercive imposition of a two-language system. The scholar also spares attention to the matters nationalism but the one without a shred of the Bolshevik ideology, as he considers it as patriotism and love to one’s fellow citizens. Keywords: moments of truth, Petro Talanchuk, the USSR, International University of Human Development ‘Ukraine’, journalism.

Introduction. In the second half of the 1760s – the first half of the 1770s Ivan I. Betskoy implemented a far-reaching reform of Russian education. It appeared that the problems of two Russian universities had not been the key issues of the reform. Apparently, that was the reason why they were not previously considered as a part of the systemic all-European crisis in higher education, which had been caused by a need to secularize universities and inculcate national languages into them, as well as by the general development of sciences, especially physical and cameral ones. Methods and materials. The article for the first time analyzes the model of the Academy’s College created at the Petersburg Academy of Sciences in 1770 to replace the Academy’s university that had ceased to exist in 1767. Based on the “Privileges and Statute of the Saint Petersburg Imperial Academy of Sciences” (1770), the research proves that this document compiled by Vladimir G. Orlov was brought into action without any legislative approval. Analysis. According to the Orlov’s Statute, Academy’s College appeared at the Academy to reproduce scientists who represented science, but not liberal arts which coincided with the new trend of the Academy of Sciences. It was arranged according to the model common to all education institutions reformed under Ivan I. Betskoy. After completing the main course of study, students were renamed as élèves and assigned to particular academicians for the improvement in science. At the same time, they attended public science courses, which corresponded to the university program in science and since then were allowed to read not only in Latin and Russian (as in the Statute of 1747), but also in new European languages. Results. Hence, an alternative model of training scientific personnel, which meant a higher educational level, was created at the Academy of Sciences.

Frank Pasquill, who made a major contribution to our understanding of atmospheric turbulence and diffusion over more than four decades, was born on 8 September 1914 in the village of Trimdon, County Durham. He was the only son of Joseph and Elizabeth Pasquill ( née Rudd), both of whom came from Atherton, near Manchester. Joseph Pasquill, one of a large family, left school at the age of twelve to supplement the family income by working in a local mine. Frank was the first member of the family to obtain a secondary education. After attending the local primary school in Trimdon village, Frank obtained an 11-plus place at the Henry Smith Secondary School in Hartlepool which emphasized discipline and hard work. From there he obtained an open scholarship in physics and the Pemberton Scholarship in Science to University College, Durham, in 1932. The university scholarships, together with a County scholarship and an endowed scholarship from Sherburn House, Durham, covered the tuition fees and living expenses so, for the first time in his life, Frank was free of financial worries. He graduated with First Class Honours in physics in 1935 and in consequence was awarded the Pemberton Research Fellowship tenable for two years in University College. This gave him a total of five very happy years in the Castle, where scientists were in the minority but well tolerated by the students of theology and the humanities.
