The role of the nation-state as the only possible political institution that can defend national interests both within the country (in the economic, sociocultural, domestic political spheres) and in the international arena is highlighted. The growing role of the modern state in preserving its sovereignty in the era of the formation of a multipolar post-globalization world and the effective use of its own natural and other resources for the benefit of the citizens of their country is emphasized. Particular attention is paid to the relations of Azerbaijan as one of the countries of the South Caucasus with powerful geopolitical actors, with the European Unionin particular. The presence of the unresolved problem of the prolonged Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, which is a threat to the national sovereignty of Azerbaijan, is brought up. The specifics of Azerbaijan’s relations with the European Union are explained, namely: on the one hand, the importance of Azerbaijan as a transit country and supplier of gas and oil resources of the Caspian basin to the EU, and on the other hand, constant pressure on the political leadership of Azerbaijan to force them to make structural political changes and steadily implement generally accepted in Western Europe, democratic principles and values. The gradual transformation of the policy of the European Union itself is emphasized in the sense of closer proximity to a realistic assessment of its relations with member countries, neighboring countries, and associate members.","PeriodicalId":34206,"journal":{"name":"Visnik Kharkivs''kogo Natsional''nogo Universitetu Imeni VN Karazina Seriia Biologiia","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76848792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to find out if the effect of the given mutations on Drosophila imago mating behavior depends on the general genetic background on which they are realized. To achieve this goal, pairs of congenic strains were constructed using successive saturation crosses followed by selection for the marker phenotype resulted in each of the mutant alleles introduced in homozygous condition into the genotype of either Canton-S or Oregon-R wild-type stock instead of the corresponding wild-type allele present in these stocks initially. Individuals of strains resulted were tested for mating receptivity of females and mating activity of males. Each of the indicators was evaluated as a proportion of sexually mature but virgin individuals of a particular sex copulated successfully within the first hour after placing them in a test chamber with an excess of individuals of the opposite sex. According to the data obtained and the results of their statistical analysis, it was proved that the introduction of a mutation into the genetic background of the wild-type stock is accompanied with a change in the studied characteristics of imago mating behavior. The effect depends on the mutation introduced and on the genotype of the recipient stock. Thus, males of the yC-S strain are characterized by increased mating activity comparatively to males of the wild-type Canton-S stock. These results expand the known effects of yellow mutation. Males of the bC-S and eC-S strains, on the contrary, are less active than the males of the wild-type Canton-S stock. The most pronounced effects on mating receptivity of females were fixed for b (an increase in the indicator when introduced into Oregon genetic background) and e (a decrease when introduced into Canton-S genetic background) mutations. The indicators studied under the conditions of the given experimental scheme change in direct proportion (rS = 0,76; p < 0,05). In other words, if the strain is characterized by high mating activity of males, as a rule, a high mating receptivity of females will be also observed.","PeriodicalId":34206,"journal":{"name":"Visnik Kharkivs''kogo Natsional''nogo Universitetu Imeni VN Karazina Seriia Biologiia","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84297796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the population of the Kharkiv region, the population frequency of affective disorders was determined. It was calculated as probability for an individual to be affected throughout life and can be used for scientific purposes and genetic counseling. The age-specific cumulative frequencies were calculated, reflecting the risk for an individual to be affected in a specific period of life. They can be reference points in genealogical analysis. It has been shown that, despite a higher frequency in women, depressive disorders manifest earlier and tend to be more severe in men. That is, the female sex is a factor of increased risk, while affected men have a high background of genetic predisposition. To analyze risk factors, statistical material from specialized medical institutions of the Kharkiv region from 2010 to 2016 was used. The data were obtained from 1,199 patients who were hospitalized at the Institute of Neurology, Psychiatry and Narcology of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, that is, they had extremely severe degrees of affective disorder and, probably, had a more significant genetic component in the structure of individual predisposition. The proportion of hospitalized women (74.9 %) was three times higher than the proportion of men (25.1 %) that significantly differs from the population sex ratio and indicates that the female sex is a factor of increased risk for affective pathology. The age of onset for affective disorders was lower in men than in women: bipolar disorder in males manifests 6 years earlier than in females, depressive episode – 2 years, recurrent depression – 5 years, chronic mood disorders – 4 years. On average, the difference between age of onset in women (46.6 years, 95% CI 45.7–47.5) and men (42.7 years, 95% CI 41.0–44.3) is 4 years. The maximum risk of affective disorder in women is between the age of 50 and 60 years, in men there are two peaks – at 20–30 and 45–60 years. The population frequency, that is an indicator of the risk for an affective disorder in the population of the Kharkiv region, is 0.21 %. The probability of affective disorder for men is 0.15 %, for women this indicator is 1.7 times higher – 0.26 %.","PeriodicalId":34206,"journal":{"name":"Visnik Kharkivs''kogo Natsional''nogo Universitetu Imeni VN Karazina Seriia Biologiia","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81666022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Political behaviour simulation component digital origin plays an important role in shaping not only its real manifestation, but also in the structure of political consciousness that leaves a mark on the subsequent policy actions or activity of the modern individual. Particularly dangerous is the integration of this component with a risk society in which risks are increasingly gaining enormous proportions. After all, manipulative technologies, which are conveniently used by politicians or individual government officials, have a powerful psychological impact on the consciousness of the modern individual. It is not just voters, which is constantly flowing information pile of dirt during the electoral manipulation, which is essentially situational. Rather, we are talking about an ordinary individual who in the 21st century is so imbued with false information and its constant flow that it is really difficult for him to distinguish the truth. In the end - for the individual truth has ceased to be a value. It is proved that the virtualization of political behaviour contributes to its simulation, which consists in the imaginary active participation in the political life or society. A separate component of such behaviour is the tendency of man to irrationalism, low resistance to manipulative influences on the one hand, and the active use of social networks by government elites to form appropriate political thinking and political behavior on the other.","PeriodicalId":34206,"journal":{"name":"Visnik Kharkivs''kogo Natsional''nogo Universitetu Imeni VN Karazina Seriia Biologiia","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82166959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Field studies were conducted in 2017‒2020. A triangular section of 30.48 hectares was investigated near the Novozhanovo railway station. It is located on the left bank of the river Udy and is bounded on both sides by railway embankments. The Udy River valley is situated in the northeast of the city, mainly in the previously underdeveloped areas; its significant part lays in the exclusion zone of the Kharkiv railway junction and road transport routes. A large area of the river valley is swampy, therefore unsuitable for economic use. The Udianskyi eco-corridor of local importance passes through the city. It consists of two key areas: the Zhovtnevyi Hydropark wetlands and the Kriukivskyi hydrological reserve of local importance. Currently, it has been proposed to create a botanical preserve of local importance \"Novozhanivskyi\" for the protection of species and associations rare for Kharkiv Region and for conservation of the true meadow formation (Prata genuine) of the class Festuceta pratensis. The site is of scientific importance, since a number of species growing there are listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine and need protection under Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) – Ophioglossum vulgatum, Botrychium lunaria, Anacamptis coriophora, A. palustris, Epipactis palustris, Parnassia palustris, Centaurium erythraea, C. pulchellum, Valeriana officinalis, Inula helenium, Dianthus stenocalyx.

It is noted that modernization should also be distinguished in a broad sense (as a constant process of producing certain responses to environmental challenges) and in a narrow sense (as a process of learning models of economic, social, political and cultural development of Western society). The content of the theory of modernization as an interdisciplinary system of views, ideas, schemes, and models of analysis is revealed, which reveals the dynamics of overcoming the backwardness of traditional societies, studies the patterns of transformation of transitional societies into modern, developed ones. As a process, modernization is interpreted by modern science as a process of acquisition by less developed societies of a number of features characteristic of more developed societies. There are several stages in the evolution of the theory of modernization, the features of each of them are considered. The first stage (mid-1950s and 1960s) was the period of the origin and formation of the theory of modernization, the development of concrete-oriented models of socio-economic development based on it. At the second stage of modernization there was a reassessment of the ideas of the first stage, analysis of miscalculations identified in socio-political practice. It has been proved that modernization has an inverse vector. The main element on which the nature of transitional processes and transformations depends, began to be considered a socio-cultural factor. The third, modern, stage of modernization (late 1980s - early 1990s) took place in the context of the collapse of the world socialist system, when post-socialist countries tried to become on a par with developed Western countries through Westernization. There is an error in the mechanical transfer of the Western model to other countries due to disregard for the different potential of their development and the ability of developed countries to constantly improve their system. It turns out that at the present stage it is worth talking more about \"post-modernization\", which is based on the desire for deep understanding of various social and political actors in society, the search for new social values, the ability to compromise on fundamental political issues and more.","PeriodicalId":34206,"journal":{"name":"Visnik Kharkivs''kogo Natsional''nogo Universitetu Imeni VN Karazina Seriia Biologiia","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78165304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The release of heme under hemolysis or under the damage of intracellular hemeproteins leads to its accumulation in tissues and, as a result, to the activation of free radical processes. Reduced glutathione (GSH) functions as an endogenous water-soluble antioxidant and a regulator of cells redox status, but its effect on the development of oxidative stress under hemin action in mammals remains not investigated. The aim of this work was to study the effect of hemin chloride on some hemeproteins activity and a number of prooxidant-antioxidant status indexes in rat liver and blood under GSH level modulation in vivo. White male rats weighing 170–280 g were taken for investigation. Hemin chloride and GSH were injected intraperitoneally. Blood plasma, homogenate, and postmitochondrial fraction of liver were the objects of study. Hemin chloride injection (50 mg/kg body weight) caused the increase in heme-containing products level in blood and free heme level in liver of rats, which was accompanied by the activation of free radical processes in these tissues. The accumulation of free heme in liver was proved by an increase in tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) holoenzyme activity and heme saturation. The pretreatment by GSH (500 mg/kg body weight) 0.5 h before hemin chloride injection normalized GSH content, but did not prevent heme accumulation, the decrease in triglycerides level and the increase in lipid hydroperoxides content in rat blood plasma under hemin action. In liver, GSH injection prevented the increase in lipid hydroperoxides and protein carbonyl derivatives concentration as well as in TDO holoenzyme activity, and decreased the degree of TDO heme saturation. All these changes occurred under GSH content increase in liver. Catalase activity in liver did not differ from the control values after hemin chloride injection as well as after glutathione and hemin coadministration. The analysis of relationship between parameters studied in this work revealed the strong positive correlation between GSH content in plasma and liver (r=0.85; p<0.001), which was consistent with literature data on the significant role of liver in supplying other tissues with reduced glutathione. A negative correlation was found between lipid peroxidation products and triglycerides content in plasma (r=–0.52; p<0.05), which indicated the participation of triglycerides unsaturated fatty acids as substrates in the peroxidation processes under hemin action. No significant correlation between GSH and hydroperoxides content, as well as between GSH and heme-containing products levels in blood plasma was revealed. Thus, the water-soluble antioxidant glutathione was not effective enough to prevent damage of lipid components in blood under hemin chloride action in the selected dose.
