Range expansion of Kuhl’s Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus kuhlii) into Belarus
No full textThe history and directions of the expansion of Kuhl’s pipistrelle (Pipistrellus kuhlii (Kuhl, 1817) in Russia, Ukraine and Central Europe from the second half of the 20th century to the present time is analyzed. Data on records of Kuhl’s pipistrelle in Belarus are presented. It is assumed that, initially, the invasion of P. kuhlii into Belarus occurred from the eastern center of its distribution (Azerbaijan) and range expansion will take place in northwest direction along the rivers of the Dnipro and Prypiat basins. Colonization of the western part of Belarus from northwestern Ukraine is highly expected
Hibernating bat species of Belarus: results of the work of the Minsk bat contact centre
No full textBat contact centres are organizations that exist in a number of countries and are engaged in popularization work, informational support for people facing bats, as well as rehabilitation and temporary maintenance of animals threatened with death during hibernation period. The data obtained during the activity of Minsk bat-contact centre during winter periods of 2007–2016 are presented in the article. In total, 108 hibernating specimens and 5 colonies of 6 species (V. murinus, N. noctula, E. nilssonii, E. serotinus, P. auritus, and P. kuhlii) were registered for 18 localities of Belarus. The dominant among the registered hibernating bats is V. murinus. At the same time, the expansion of the wintering range is shown for V. murinus, N. noctula, and P. kuhlii. The dynamics of the species registrations during the period of the activity of the Centre, as well as during the period of hibernation, are presented. The results of the Centre’s work show the high efficiency of such organizations for the monitoring of fauna and accumulation of scientific information.Контакт-центри по кажанам — товариства, які існують у низці країн і займаються популяризацією та інформуванням людей, які зіштовхнулися з рукокрилими, а також реабілітацією та зимовим утримуванням тварин, що знаходяться під загрозою загибелі впродовж гібернаційного періоду. У статті наведено дані, отримані Мінським контакт-центром щодо рукокрилим впродовж 2007–2017 рр. Всього відмічено 108 зимуючих особин та 5 колоній кажанів 6 видів (V. murinus, N. noctula, E. nilssonii, E. serotinus, P. auritus, P. kuhlii) з 18 населених пунктів Білорусії. Домінуючим у структурі зимуючих видів є лилик двоколірний. В той же час відмічено розширення зимівельного ареалу для трьох видів — V. murinus, N. noctula та P. kuhlii.

Hibernating bat species of Belarus: results of the work of the Minsk bat contact centre ‘Kazhanapolis’ (2018–2022)
No full textBat rehabilitation centres, in addition to their main goal, namely, animal rescue, may provide a significant scientific information, and are also sites for popular science activities. This article presents the results of the work of the Minsk Bat contact centre ‘Kazhanapolis’ in 2018–2022. The work of the Сentre includes the rescue of animals by means of artificial hibernation with subsequent release into the wild. Species identification is carried out directly when possible, but sometimes also by photographs. During the hibernation seasons (October–March) in 2018 to 2022, 565 finds were recorded, accounting for more than 730 individuals of 10 species of bats, including Barbastella barbastellus, Epte-sicus nilssonii, E. serotinus, Myotis dasycneme, M. daubentonii, Nyctalus noctu-la, Pipistrellus kuhlii, P. pygmaeus, Plecotus auritus, and Vespertilio murinus. Data were collected from 56 unique localities. Compared to the previous period of work (2007–2017), an increase in the number of recorded species, in the total number of individuals, as well as in the number of localities is shown. By the number of finds (55.47%), as well as recorded specimens (71.32%), V. murinus prevails. A significant proportion (more than 5%) of records are those of N. noctula (23.28% ind. and 8.31% finds), E. serotinus (8.9% ind. and 11.32% finds), and E. nilssonii (5.75% ind. and 3% finds). We consider the record of P. pygmaeus as accidental or migrant. Most of the finds of V. murinus, E. serotinus, P. auritus, P. kuhlii, M. dasycneme, and P. pygmaeus were represented by solitary individuals. N. noctula, E. nilssonii, M. daubentonii, and B. barbastellus are mainly recorded in colonies. The largest colony size (more than 100 ind.) was recorded for N. noctula. The sex ratio (M : F) ranges from 33.3 : 66.6% in E. nilssonii to 74.2 : 25.8% in N. noctula. Plecotus auritus and Myotis dasycneme are represented exclusively by females. Thus, we state the dominance in the species structure of wintering ‘urban bat species’ in Belarus of V. murinus and, at the same time, the expansion of the winter range of N. noctula and P. kuhlii. In addition, the collected data signifi-cantly contribute to our knowledge on the winter range and some hibernation traits of B. barbastellus, M. dasycneme, E. nilssonii, and E. serotinus in Belarus and Eastern Europe

Any other use requires prior permission of the author and the Acoustical Society of America. The following article appeared in R. C. Nongpiur and D. J. Shpak, " Impulse noise suppression in speech using the stationary wavelet transform", Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, vol. 133, no. 2, Feb. 2013. and may be found at http://link.aip.org/link/?JAS/133/866An approach for detecting and removing impulse noise from speech using the wavelet transform is proposed. The approach utilizes the multi-resolution property of the wavelet transform, which provides finer time resolution at higher frequencies than the short-time Fourier transform to effectively identify and remove impulse noise. The paper then describes how the impulse-detection performance is dependent on certain wavelet features and their relationships with the impulse noise and the underlying speech signal. Performance comparisons carried out with an existing method show that the wavelet approach yields much better features for detecting the impulses. To remove the impulses, an algorithm that uses the stationary wavelet transform has been developed. The algorithm uses a two-step approach where the wavelet coefficients corresponding to the impulses are suppressed in the first step and then substituted by suitable coefficients located within the vicinity of the impulse in the second step. Performance evaluations with an existing method show that the proposed algorithm gives superior results.Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of CanadaGraduateReviewe

Rearrangement of bone tissue occurs during the orthodontic treatment of tooth crowding due to the processes of resorption and apposition, the ability to influence these processes will allow to reduce the complications of orthodontic treatment purposefully. The aim: to investigate the processes of resorption and osteogenesis of jaw bone tissue during the orthodontic treatment of children with nonremovable devices. Materials and methods of the study. The research of mineral density of jaws has been held among 19 orthodontic patients between the ages of 12-14 with a tooth crowding. Dental sanation and professional oral hygiene have been made in children before the orthodontic treatment. Mineral density of bone tissue, volumetric part of bone trabecules, has been determined by estimation of spread rate of ultrasound waves of upper and lower jaws. Results. Conclusions. The received results confirm the data, in the dynamics of active orthodontic treatment, especially in the beginning, the processes of bone resorption dominates, while in a period of stabilization the synthesis of bone tissue is more active.
Keywords: jaw bone tissue, crowding of teeth, ultrasound wave, echo osteometry

Тайная история: анализ художественных образов
No full textA. Muntian: ORCID 0000-0001-8375-4067, I. Shpak: ORCID 0000-0002-4305-4987EN: The article deals with term “image”, which is used in various branches of scientific knowledge. The research dwells on the different aspects of the analysis of the image. This piece is an attempt to research artistic images in the novel “A Secret History” by Donna Tartt. The authors analyze a number of views regarding the artistic image interpretation and emphasize the point that the artistic image has many forms: images of people, pictures of nature, urban landscapes, and images of things reproduced with the help of imagination. The y talk about the origins of creation of the debut novel by Donna Tartt “A Secret History” and point out the specifics of the novel: the story is an inverted detective story, not whodunit, but whydunit. The traditional detective story sets the task for the reader to solve the mystery/crime along with the detective (officer of the law or private investigator, professional or amateur sleuth, regardless). However, the intrigue of the investigation and catching the culprit/culprits does not play the main part in the novel in question – the creation of sophisticated artistic images was the main task for the author. With the help of elaborate artistic images the author manages to deliver the whole specter of submeanings to the main storyline. Nowadays there is no clear definition of terminology; their inter-relationship depends on the approach to understanding concepts of literary images; the fuzzy boundary between these concepts begins to blur in connection with the emergence of new linguistic means that combine the features of both expressive means and stylistic techniques. The results of the research underline the fact that the notion of artistic image owes its birth to fiction, where language becomes both a means and subject of art; states that artistic image serves as a way of understanding the world and the language of art. It also demonstrates that it has many forms of reproduction: images of people, pictures of nature, urban landscapes, images of things that are embodied with the help of imagination, put into new relationships through the constructive thinking of the artist.UK: У статті розглядається термін “образ”, який використовується в різних галузях наукового знання.

Результати дослідження підкреслюють той факт, що поняття художнього образу бере початок у художній літературі, де мова стає як засобом, так і предметом мистецтва; що художній образ служить способом розуміння світу та мови мистецтва. Результати дослідження також демонструють, що художній образ має багато форм: образи людей, природи, міські ландшафти, образи речей, які втілюються за допомогою уяви, тощо.RU: В статье рассматривается термин "образ", который используется в различных отраслях научного знания.
