Abstract The article presents the results of field research in 2019–2020 of plant communities of the abrasive coast of the Taman Peninsula. The biomorphological structure of populations is dominated by annual species, which indicates a high dynamism associated with exogenous processes. Ecologically, the dominant species are xerophytes and xeromesophytes, as well as species with a wide eco-amplitude. The process of unification of the studied flora is low and amounted to 17 %. The generalized floristic list includes 231 plant species from 48 families. In the study area, 7 species of Red Book plants were found, of which 2 species were included in the Red Book of the Russian Federation.

The aim of the study is to identify possible cytoarchitectonic features of the structure of the cortex in the superior parietal region of an outstanding and talented scientist-physiologist.Material and methods. The cortex (area 7) of the superior parietal region of a scientist-physiologist and men of the senile age in the control group (8 hemispheres) was studied on the series of frontal brain slices, 20 μ thick, stained with cresyl purple according to Nissl method. The cortex area thickness, the thickness of the cytoarchitectonics layer III, the area of profile field of pyramidal neurons in layers III and V, the density of neurons surrounded by satellite glia and satellite glia density in layers III and V were measured in the cortex (area 7) of the superior parietal region in the left and right hemispheres of the brain.Results. We have identified several features of the cytoarchitectonics structure of the cortex (area 7) in the brain of the scientist-physiologist that may correlate with his outstanding scientific abilities. The cortex of a scientist-physiologist is characterized by a large thickness of the studied cortex and its cytoarchitectonic layers III and V, and a greater value of the area of the profile field of neurons if compared with the cortex in men of the senile age from the control group. A higher value of the neuron density and satellite glia in the cortex of the superior parietal region of the scientist-physiologist was revealed. There was also a lower severity of age-related changes in the cortex of the scientist-physiologist compared with the control group of men.Conclusion. The structure of the cortex (area 7) of the superior parietal region of the scientistphysiologist is characterized by a greater parameter of the cortical thickness and the thickness of the associative layer III, the size of neurons and the density of satellite glia if compared with those in men of the senile age of the control group. These features distinguish the structure of his cortex from the similar cortex of the control group of men and may be related to the features of the cognitive activity of the outstanding scientist-physiologist.

Purpose To investigate retinal vessel shift (RVS) and its association with axial length (AL) elongation in junior high school students. Methods Total 161 eyes of 161 healthy junior high school students were prospectively studied. Optical AL and anterior chamber depth (ACD) measurements, and fundus photography were performed in the first and third grades. Eyes of subjects in the first and third grade that had perfect matching among all the retinal vessels were allocated to the RVS(−) group, otherwise allocated to the RVS(+) group. In the RVS(+) group, the peripapillary retinal arteries angle (PRAA) was measured for quantitative analysis of RVS; the angle between the major retinal arteries. The variables related to PRAA were identified using model selection with the corrected Akaike information criterion. Results Forty-two eyes (26.1%) were allocated to the RVS(+) group. There were seven patterns in the RVS of those in the RVS(+) group, including clockwise shift in the supra temporal area (5 eyes), infra temporal area (7 eyes), and nasal area (9 eyes); anticlockwise shift in the supra temporal area (7 eyes), infra temporal area (5 eyes), and nasal area (2 eyes); and distal shift in the temporal area (7 eyes). The optimal model for the PRAA narrowing included larger AL and body weight in the first grade, and greater AL elongation. Conclusion Various (seven) RVS patterns were observed in about 25% of the junior high school students within two years. RVS was associated with AL elongation, and useful to reveal the mechanism of myopic retinal stretch.

Abstract In the current study we investigated the impact of short-term adrenalectomy on hippocampal neurons of Wistar rats. In addition, the underlying mechanism(s) of degeneration in these neurons was investigated by measuring the levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 and β-nerve growth factor. Moreover, we investigated the cognitive behavior in these rats. The stereological counting in the hippocampus revealed a significant neuronal death in the dentate gyrus and CA3, but not in the CA2 and CA1, area 7 and 14 days post adrenalectomy. The ultrastructural examinations revealed degenerated and degenerating neurons only in the dentate as well as CA4, and CA3 areas over the course of 3, 7 and 14 days. The levels of IGF-1 were significantly decreased in the hippocampus of ADX rats 12 h post adrenalectomy and lasted over the course of two weeks. However, β-NGF was significantly reduced in ADX rats only at 14 days postoperatively. Using passive avoidance test we found a cognitive deficit in the ADX compared to the sham operated rats over time. In conclusion, both granule and pyramidal cells were degenerated in the hippocampus following short-term adrenalectomy. The early depletion of IGF-1 might play a role in the hippocampal neuronal degeneration. Consequently, the loss of the hippocampal neurons after adrenalectomy leads to cognitive deficits.

Aldrovanda vesiculosa is a rare stenotopic species threatened due to destruction of its biotopes. Since the species is protected nationally and internationally, monitoring of its populations is required. Information on growth conditions of A. vesiculosa in three new localities recorded in 2019 and 2020 in lentic (standing water) reservoirs with muddy sediments in the Chernihiv Polissya region is provided. All populations were found in communities of the alliance Utricularion vulgaris. In the first locality (Snovsk, an artificial pond with an area 0.6 ha), the population of A. vesiculosa (projective cover of 10%) occupied an area of 0.5 m × 1.5 m within the shoreline community of the Spirodelo-Aldrovandetum vesiculosae association. In the second locality (Lake Perekop, area 7 ha, in the floodplain of the Desna River) the species was found in an area of 1.5 m2, with projective cover of 25%, also within the Spirodelo-Aldrovandetum vesiculosae communities. In the third locality (Lake Nizhniy Bolhach, floodplain of the Dnipro River), this species was found in an area of 0.5 m2 within the communities of the Lemno-Utricularietum vulgaris association, with projective cover of 3%. The comparison of hydrochemical conditions of biotopes in the found localities and hydrochemical indicators of habitats of this species in the Czech Republic and Poland was carried out. In the first and second localities, the hydrochemical indices are optimal for A. vesiculosa. In Lake Nizhniy Bolhach, some quantitative characteristics of the water chemical composition are beyond the ecological optimum for this species, in particular, exceeded values of hydrogen index (pH 7.0), hardness (12.1 mmol/L), concentrations of calcium (163.039 mg/L) and magnesium ions (49.025 mg/L), while organic carbon content (1214 mg/L) is reduced. A short-term existence of A. vesiculosa in this locality is predicted.

Abstract. The increase in population has an impact on increasing the demand for land. In addition, the available land in the city is relatively limited. Therefore, the development leads to the peri-urban area. The development of the core city will have an impact on the physical, social, and economic transformation of the peri-urban area. Interactions that occur between rural-urban areas can affect the development of peri-urban areas. Interaction between rural-urban areas also occurs in Mranggen Sub – district as the peri – urban area of Semarang. This study aims to examine changes in the typology of peri-urban areas in Mranggen Sub – district, Demak District in 2008 - 2018. This research used a quantitative descriptive method with a spatial approach. The remote sensing data were used as the main data source and document review as secondary data. The change in the typology of Potential Urban to Semi Urban was caused by changes in people's livelihoods, increased education, percentage of permanent buildings, educational facilities, and health facilities. The change in typology from Semi Urban to Predominantly Urban is caused by various variables that cause increasingly urbanization. The results showed a change in the study area, 7 villages changed from the typology of Potential Urban to Semi Urban and 2 villages changed from the Semi Urban typology to Predominantly Urban.

Purpose of research. Inspection and assessment of the technical condition of the enclosing structures of a residential building located at st. Engelsa, 107 in Kursk were carried out in connection with the development of the reinforcement project.Methods. Inspection of the technical condition of buildings and structures is necessary to determine the residual resource and service life of the building structures. The current regulatory documents require an examination of the technical condition of buildings and structures no later than two years after their commissioning. In the future, the inspection of the technical condition of buildings and structures is carried out at least once every 10 years and at least once every five years for buildings and structures or their individual elements operating in adverse conditions (aggressive environments, vibrations, high humidity, seismicity of the area 7 points and more, etc.). A permanent monitoring regime is established for unique buildings and structures.Results. In the process of examining a residential building located at st. Engelsa, 107, the following tasks have been solved: determination of damage to enclosing structures; analysis of the results of the study of the degree of wear of building structures; implementation of proposals for strengthening the brickwork. To eliminate the above damages, a proposal was developed to increase the rigidity of the above-foundation part of the building, having previously excluded soaking the foundation soil: by repairing the blind area and heating, water supply and sewerage networks.Conclusion. The solution of a narrow task of strengthening individual structures of buildings and structures may not give the desired result, therefore, when performing inspection work, it is necessary to consider the existing defects and damage in the complex. Within the framework of this work, we consider the strengthening of the load-bearing walls of a residential building with an increase in the overall rigidity of the above-foundation part of the building and the elimination of individual damages.
