The flora of фSamara-Ulyanovsk Volga Region belongs to the Fabaceae type (the third place in the family spectrum), while having inclusions of other types of local flora. The study examines how homogeneous is the species representation of the genera of the Fabaceae family throughout the research area. The authors used 445 floristic lists from the FD SUR database as source data. Based on these lists, the authors obtained combined lists of all the floras and their generic and family spectra. The heterogeneity of the composition of the Fabaceae family at the generic and species levels was studied in 12 physical-geographical regions. The authors identified 15 reference floras in six of examined regions, where the lists of vascular plant species include 700 species. The area of the identified reference floras is 300–900 km2. The general list of the Fabaceae family in the research area includes 113 species from 23 genera. The genus Astragalus L. is at the top of the genera. The other large genera are Vicia L. and Lathyrus L. The authors registered some differences from the overall picture for certain physical and geographical areas. This is the consequence of various local environmental conditions in the research area. In some cases, the genus Vicia becomes the most abundant, but the distribution of Astragalus becomes rather small. The genus Lathyrus does not always hold the third place in the spectrum. The considered reference floras are nominally divided into three groups according to the composition of the generic spectrum of the Fabaceae family: the flora group with numerical dominance of the genus Astragalus, the group with predominance of the genus Vicia and the group in which the genus Trifolium L. and Amoria C. Presl. form the basis of the composition. The first two groups are characterized by the multiplicity of the corresponding genera in comparison with others. On the contrary, the composition of the third group is explained by the relative paucity of genera Astragalus and Vicia. The composition and abundance of the genera Trifolium and Amoria are the most stable in all considered floras. The authors note the lack of uniformity in the order of leading genera of the Fabaceae family in Samara-Ulyanovsk Volga region.

Colombia is a privileged country given the geographical position, the diversity of ecosystems and the great plant complexity, conditions that allow it to occupy the third place in diversity of diurnal butterflies. The objective of this work was to establish the composition of species of diurnal butterflies in four locations of the La Honda basin for which captures were made using entomological nets of 45 cm in diameter, in the project of Characterization of the wild Entomofauna of La Honda basin, located in the northeast of the Colombian Andes. Analysis of inventory quality and analysis of similarity between sampling sites were performed. A total of 226 specimens were collected belonging to 95 species of the family Hesperiidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae, Riodinidae and Nymphalidae, the last having greatest abundance (134) and richness of species (53). La Navarra was the site with greatest abundance (110) and richness of species (54). The analysis of inventory quality indicated a potential richness of 167.13 species, a proportion of observed species of 56.24% and a sampling effort of 99.82%. The comparison of inventories allowed establishing that butterfly communities are different for all sampling sites, although there is a slight similarity between La Navarra and La Purnia. Based on the analysis of the inventory quality, it is proposed to carry out new sampling for these and other locations, as well as at different times of the year.

Zakat is an important form of religiously mandated charity under Islam. It is the third pillar of Islam. The giving of Zakat is important for Muslims, as this leads to purification of their wealth from all sins. This paper examines the role of Zakat as an instrument of social justice and poverty eradication in society. Each Muslim calculates his or her own Zakat individually. Generally, this involves the payment each year of two and a half percent of one's capital, after the needs of the family have been met. One can donate additional amount as an act of voluntary charity but Zakat is fundamental to every Muslim. Zakat is the Islamic contribution to social justice: those who have to give charity share the benefit of their prosperity to those who have fallen short. This is the Islamic approach to remove greed and envy and to purify one's soul based on good intentions. This is the institution of Zakat in Islam. The institution of Zakat serves to eradicate poverty in the community and uphold the light of Islam. Allah says “whatever is paid as Zakat for the sake of Allah shall be rewarded in manifolds”.

The materials of the Late Eneolithic of the forest-steppe Volga region are represented by three main groups. The first group includes ceramics with an "inner edge", the second – materials of the Volosovo appearance of the Gundorovka settlement, the third – ceramics of the Bolshaya Rakovka II, Chekalino IV sites and others, which are close to the Toksky type. The time of the existence of materials of the first and second groups fit into the second half of the 4th millennium BC and corresponds to the stage of the late Eneolithic. The time of distribution of materials of the third group includes a longer period from the second quarter to the end of the 4th millennium BC.

Aim. To identify current trends in hospital eye trauma based on the materials of the specialized ophthalmology department of a round-the-clock hospital. Materials and methods. The analysis of medical records of patients treated in the round-the-clock specialized ophthalmology department of the state medical establishment OKB No. 2 in the period since January 2017-2019. Results. During the analyzed period, 4948 patients were treated, of which 218 patients (5.6%) were identified for nosologies belonging to the category of eye trauma. Men are most often exposed to eye injuries (84%), in addition, in 62% of cases, these are young patients (18-44 years). The structure of eye trauma is almost unchanged: the leading position is occupied by penetrating wounds of the eyeball and contusions, the third place is occupied by burns, through wounds of the eyeball are rare. Conclusions. Given the poor prognosis of the outcome of a severe eyeball injury, it requires the introduction of modern types of microsurgical intervention using endovitreal surgery at the present stage.

Background: Investigation of rare bleeding disorders in Latin-America. Objective: The report of a new case of FX deficiency due to a compound heterozygosis. Methods: Accepted clotting procedures were used. Sequencing of DNA was carried out by means of Applied Biosystems Instruments. Results: A compound heterozygote due to the association of a new mutation (Gla72Asp) with an already known mutation (Gly154Arg) of the FX gene is reported. The proposita is a 38 year old female who had a moderate bleeding tendency (menorrhagia, epistaxis, easy bruising). The proposita has never received substitution therapy but in the occasion of a uterine biopsy. The mother was asymptomatic but was a heterozygote for the new mutation. The father was asymptomatic but had deserted the family and could not be investigated. After this abandonment the mother of the proposita re-married with an asymptomatic man and she gave birth to a son who was asymptomatic but was also heterozygous for the new mutation (Gla72Asp). As a consequence it has to be assumed that the first husband of the mother of the proposita was heterozygous for the known mutation (Gly154Arg). Conclusion: This is the third case of a new mutation in the FX gene reported, during the past few years, in Argentina.

Between the third and first centuries BCE, a tomb near the Via Appia not only served as a funerary monument for the Scipiones but was also believed to have once contained the statue of a man from outside the family: Quintus Ennius. This chapter considers how Ennius’ poetry and portrait contributed to the circulation of political prestige. Linking the story of his statue to a later image of the poet in Varro’s De poetis, it argues that Varro’s collection of author portraits and the practice of erecting busts of authors in libraries are best seen as a form of entombment—situating the poet’s imago alongside those of his literary forebears in a space that recognizes their identity as a group, much like the tomb of the Scipiones, or, indeed, any Roman atrium that collects the imagines of a family’s ancestors.

On March 15, 2020, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Honduran government unexpectedly announced a state of emergency and mandated immediate closure of all businesses. Diunsa closed its six stores. The family-owned retailer had anticipated supply chain disruptions, stocked from alternative suppliers, and formed a crisis management team. Now, to keep the business afloat during the unexpected closure and retain all its employees on the payroll, the company had to move sales from the brick-and-mortar stores to an incomplete online retail site. The third generation in the family business—the Faraj siblings, all in their 20’s—led the critical transition online and response to setbacks. As digital-native millennials, they helped improve the website, customer service, operations, and delivery in a short amount of time and using external resources and various technologies. As the situation stabilized, Diunsa’s leadership asked: How will Diunsa build on the momentum for digital transformation and turn its tactical actions into a digital strategy? How can we continue to tap into the leadership of our up-and-coming generation to achieve these goals?

Informing families about the impending or actual death of their relatives is one of the most challenging and complex tasks a physician may face. The following article describes goal setting and provides five roles/recommendations for conducting the encounter with patient families regarding the imminent or actual death of their relatives. Importantly, the encounter should be family-centred, and the physician should be highly attentive to family needs. The following roles should be applied based on family needs and should not be sequential as numbered. The first and basic role is to inform the family at the earliest possible time and as often as possible. The second goal of the physician is to convey to the family that their relative received the needed therapy during his hospitalisation or in the community. The third goal of the physician is to help the family reach acceptance of the death of their relative and leave the hospital having moved beyond anger and bargaining. The fourth goal of the physician during the encounters is to reduce or alleviate guilt by stating that nothing could have changed the course of the disease and that all efforts were made to save the patient. The fifth role of the physician is to try and help the family as a single entity and maintain their unity during this stressful situation. Following these roles/methods will help families in the stressful situation and will create the difference between anger and understanding, rage and compassion, and loss and acceptance.

Background. Compliance with referral for out-patient aftercare of psychiatric emergency patients is limited. This study investigated the efficacy of a combination of several referral strategies (fixed appointment, involvement of the family, presence of the aftercare person, motivational counselling) in increasing referral and treatment compliance of patients referred to the psychiatric emergency department of three general hospitals.Methods. A randomized controlled design was used to assess the effect of this experimental condition on referral compliance and on continuation of aftercare treatment.Results. A significant beneficial effect on compliance with the referral was found in two hospitals and a near-significant effect in the third. After 3 months of aftercare, the influence of the experimental procedure on adherence to therapy was still significant in two hospitals, but not in the third.Conclusions. Helping the patient to attend an initial appointment can be achieved by a combination of practical and organizational arrangements.
