Decisions of the Сongress of the Orthodox military clergy of the Southwestern front in Proskurov in 1917

The decisions of the congresses of the military and naval clergy, held at the beginning of the 20th century, remain little studied to this day. Turning to this topic, researchers most often focus on the decisions of congresses of all-Russian significance which is the 1st All-Russian congress of the military and naval clergy (July 1914, Petrograd), less often on the decisions of the 2nd All-Russian congress of the military and naval clergy (July 1917, Mogilev). However, front-line congresses also played an important role in the history of the institute of military priests: they took place in the Southwestern (5–7 May 1917), Western (24–28 May 1917), Romanian (25 June 1917) and Northern (26–28 June 1917) fronts. This article discusses the work of the first of them which is the Сongress of the Orthodox military clergy of the Southwestern front in Proskurov in May 1917. The author of the article analyses the main decisions of this congress. The attitude of the military clergy of the front to the war, participation in the political parties, organisation of cultural and educational activities are shown. The proposals of the delegates on the reorganisation of the administration of the department and the introduction of an elective principle are analysed. It is shown whether the opinion of the participants of the congress in Proskurov coincided with the decisions of the 2nd All-Russian congress of the military and naval clergy in Mogilev. The article was prepared on the basis of archival documents and materials of the periodical press. In particular, documents from the funds of the Russian State Historical Archive (Saint Petersburg) such as protocols of the sessions of the Сongress of the Orthodox military clergy of the Southwestern front, the resolutions of the protopresbyter on the decisions of the congress, the protocols of the sessions of the 2nd All-Russian congress of the military and naval clergy were used

THE FORMATION OF MULTYSCALING STRUCTURES UNDER LASER IRRADIATION OF ZIRCONIUM ALLOYS SURFACE

The results of studying the influence of laser pulse irradiation on the structure of the zirconium alloys surface layers are presented. As a result of laser irradiation of the alloys surface the multyscalihg structure which included large-scale and small-scale changes of surface relief was formed. Under laser pulse irradiation of alloys surface the concentration of intermetallic phase’s inclusions in the surface layer to a depth of 0.3 μm of ageing alloys was reduced. Due to the rapid heating and solidification of a liquid melt the front of the melt is moving at high velocity and accelerated migration of inclusions into the surface layer of the irradiated spot

DISSEMINATED SUPERFICIAL ACTINIC POROKERATOSIS: A CLINICAL CASE REPORT

The influence of the drugs “Brovermectin-granulate TM” and “Avesstim TM” on indicators of non-specific resistance of one year-old carp fish infested with monogeneans

The article presents data on the study of the influence of the drugs “Brovermectin-granulate TM” and “Avesstim TM” on indicators of non-specific resistance of one-year-old carp fish infested with monogeneans. For conducting experiments, 14 experimental groups were formed (two groups of each species of fish affected by Dactylogyrus lamellatus, Gyrodactylus hypophthalmichtіdis, Eudiplozoon nipponicum ). The fish of the first experimental group were administered “Brovermectin-granulate TM”, and the second experimental group were administerec a complex of drugs “Brovermectin-granulate TM” and “Avesstim TM”. Fish infected with various ectoparasites (Dactylogyrus lamellatus, Gyrodactylus hypophthalmichtіdis, Eudiplozoon nipponicum ) served as controls. Fish of each group were kept in separate aquariums with a capacity of 40 dm3 with artificial aeration at a temperature of 20–22 °С. Their care and feeding was carried out according to the relevant norms and rations. During the entire period of research, the behavior and clinical condition of the fish were observed. The pre-experimental period of acclimatization of annuals was 7 days. The use of the drug “Brovermectin-granulate TM” to one-year-old white carp, crucian carp and scaly carp affected by monogeneans had a stimulating effect on the resistance of their organism. At the same time, the simultaneous use of the specified drug with the immunomodulator “Avesstim TM” contributed to better activation of the humoral link of non-specific immunity in sick fish. To normalize the organism homeostasis, correct metabolism and activate the humoral link of non-specific immunity during a monogenoid invasion of carp, it is recommended to feed them with a combined feed of the drugs “Brovermectin-granulate TM” and the immunomodulator “Avesstim TM”

Heterogeneous structure of the lithosphere in the Black Sea from a multidisciplinary analysis of geophysical fields

Magnetic, gravity, geothermal, seismic and tomographic data from the lithosphere were first jointly examined. A multidisciplinary interpretation has resulted in a new and consistent model for lithospheric density, magnetic, thermal and velocity heterogeneities. Faults of different orders for the crystalline crust have been mapped in details. Large deep fault zones were recognized. Among them is the most prominent Odessa-Sinop-Ordu (OSO) fault zone, which played a key role in the opening and development of the Black Sea Depression. A fundamental difference was revealed between the crustal and mantle structure and geophysical parameters of the Western Black Sea Basin (WBSB) and Eastern Black Sea Basin (EBSB). These dissimilarities are in the size of «non-granitic» crust, pattern and intensity of heat flow, topography of the lower boundary of the thermal lithosphere, mantle seismic velocity and structure of magnetic and residual gravity anomalies. Based on new information it was demonstrated that the WBSB and EBSB were diachronously formed on two large distinct continental blocks with independent post-rift development of the sub-basins. The rifting of the western sub-basin commenced earlier than that of the eastern one. The EBSB is characterized by younger thermal activity than the WBSB and consequently it was stabilized later. The Mid Black Sea High (MBSH) is not a single tectonic unit but is formed by two ridges of various crystalline crustal structure and age shifted relative to each other by the faults of the OSO zone
