Chem. 8, 277 (1958).The infrared spectra of several complexes containing the group have been obtained. The observed bands in these spectra indicate that has incorrectly assigned the Ru-N stretching frequency to a band in the region of From the spectra of , and , we have assigned the Ru-N stretch to the sharp, weak band appearing at The origin of the band at region will be discussed. Evidence for the presence of both nitro- and nitrito-groups being present in is indicated in our spectral results

„Ja, Ahaswer”. Motyw tułaczki, podróży, pielgrzymowania w trylogii Piotra Bednarskiego „Błękitne śniegi i inne rejsy po złote runo”
No full textThis article focuses on the topos of Ahaswer (The Wandering Jew) in Piotr Bednarski’s trilogy Błękitne śniegi i inne rejsy po złote runo. The creation of the main character of the series is analysed in the light of the author using the already established scenario provided by culture in the form of a legend of Ahaswer. Bednarski chooses the figure of the Wandering Jew as the one which most aptly reflects the life situation of the protagonist-narrator of the trilogy.The author emphasises chiefly two aspects of the meaning of the discussed motif in culture. The character of Ashwer is used as synonymous to Jewishness and as a universal representation of the lot of a wanderer
Church Slavonic Canon and its Interpretation during the Baroque Period: based on the Book “Runo orošennoe” by Dimitry Tuptalo, Metropolitan of Rostov
No full textThe present paper deals with the book by Dimitry Tuptalo, Metropolitan of Rostov, titled “Runo Orošennoe” compared with the earlier work of the same author “Chuda Presviatij i Preblagoslovennoj Devy Marii” (The Miracles of the Holiest an the Most Blessed Virgin Mary”) as well as with the contemporary West European religious literature in the aspects of structure, language and symbolic and metaphoric images. The conscious orientation of Dimitry on the Byzantine and Church Slavonic canon as well as its creative interpretation based in the baroque framework are stressed

No full textRuno impulssina devising-teatterissa : sovellusehdotuksia ryhmälähtöiseen teatterityöhön
No full textTämä opinnäytetyö on kirjallinen osa monimuototyötä. Työhön kuuluvat myös tutkimustyöpajat, joita tässä kirjallisessa osassa on kuvattu. Opinnäyte käsittelee runoa impulssina
ryhmälähtöisessä teatterityössä. Se myös pyrkii avaamaan suomalaista runonesitysperinnettä ja niitä teatterillisia lähtökohtia, jotka kirjoittajaa ovat inspiroineet. Työ sivuaa lisäksi ohjaajan roolia ryhmälähtöisessä työskentelyssä. Keskiössä on kirjoittajan helmi– maaliskuussa 2014 ohjaama Nousuja-tutkimustyöpaja.
Nousuja-tutkimustyöpajassa etsittiin ryhmälähtöisiä devising-työtapoja käyttäen näyttämöllisiä ilmaisumuotoja kolmen esiintyjän valitsemille runoteksteille. Työskentelyn yhtenä periaatteena oli, että runot voisivat saada minkä tahansa – myös tekstiä suoraan esittämättömän – muodon. Avukseen esiintyjät valitsivat myös kaksi näyttämöllistä tutkimuselementtiä. Työskentelyn ja impulssimateriaalin laatua seurattiin kyselyllä, johon sekä esiintyjät että ohjaaja vastasivat lähes kaikkien tapaamisten päätteeksi. Harjoittelu tapahtui osittain ohjaajan ja yhden esiintyjän, osittain koko ryhmän kesken ja päättyi demoon.
Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena on löytää sellaisia ryhmälähtöisiä työskentelytapoja, joiden avulla runoteksteille voidaan etsiä monipuolisesti näyttämöllisiä ilmaisumuotoja eripituisissa
produktioissa. Nousuja-tutkimustyöpaja oli tiivis: jokainen esiintyjä osallistui noin kolmenkymmenen tunnin ajan. Työssä todetaan, että tarkkaankin suunniteltu prosessi vaatii tulosvastuutonta aikaa, että henkilökohtaisuus inspiroi osallistujia ja että oleellisia työtapoja ovat ne, jotka saavat aikaan konkreettista toimintaa. Runo paljastuu nopeaksi ja kepeäksi mielikuvien synnyttäjäksi, joka monitulkintaisuutensa avulla voi auttaa pääsemään nopeasti
kiinni osallistujien omiin aiheisiin.This final thesis is the written part of the final research project. It deals with poetry as an impulse in collaborative, group-oriented theatre work, and strives to introduce both the history of Finnish poetry performing and the basis of theatrical thinking that have inspired the author. This thesis also touches on the role of the director in collaborative, devised theatre work. The centre of the research consists of a workshop directed by the author in February and March of 2014.
In the workshop, the group of three performers and a director searched for scenic expres-sions for poems chosen by the performers using collaborative, devised methods. One of the principals was that the text material could have any kind of an articulation; the text itself did not necessarily need to be heard or seen. The performers also chose two other, scenic research elements to move them forward. The quality of the work and the impulse material were monitored by a questionnaire filled by both the performers and the director after almost every meeting. Rehearsing occurred partly as private work between one performer and the director, partly with the whole group, and ended with a public act.
The aim of this final thesis is to find the kind of collaborative methods by which diverse scenic expressions for poetry can be searched in productions of varied lengths. The work-shop of this research was concise; each performer participated for under thirty hours. It is discovered in this thesis that even a carefully planned process needs time without responsibilities of progress, that personal inspires the participants, and that most important methods are those which attract action. Poetry is revealed to be a rich and ambiguous source for finding the participant’s own themes
Laul jutustab lauljast. Ülevaade Lüganuse lauliku Mai Alasi regilauluvarast
No full textThe 9th volume of Vana kannel (Old Zither), a serial publication of runo songs, comprises 1320 song lyrics collected and written down from Lüganuse parish. The number of presenters is over a couple of hundred, yet Mai Alasi is the only one whose repertoire includes over a hundred songs. Such a big number of runo songs from one person, written down as late as in the first decades of the 20th century, makes us wonder about her song repertoire. The most relevant approach seems to be the description of her runo song lyrics from a typological aspect. This enables us to point out the register of motifs in the texts and gives us an idea of the applied artistic methods and the language of images. This way we can treat the runo song lyrics as a piece of poetry.
The author was also interested to find out what kind of facts about the personality of the singer and her life her song repertoire, its content and themes reveal. The conclusions are certainly at least partly hypothetical, yet they might help us to revitalise the memory of a remarkable singer

No full textFarmers' perceptions on tomato early blight, fungicide use factors and awareness of fungicide resistance: Insights from a field survey in Kenya.
No full textEarly blight (EB) caused by Alternaria solani is one of the most devastating tomato diseases in Kenya and is most often managed by application of synthetic fungicides. However, there have been reports from farmers about the declining efficacy of some fungicides. These reports suggest that A. solani populations in Kenya could be developing resistance to some of the commonly used fungicides. In this study, we surveyed 175 tomato fields, sampled in 3 major tomato producing counties in Kenya, to determine the status of EB, management practices, and fungicide use factors that could contribute to development of resistance to fungicides among A. solani populations in Kenya. Data was recorded on farm characteristics, EB prevalence, fungicide usage, and farmers' perceptions on fungicide efficacy. EB was prevalent in 85% of the fields and 90% of the farmers identified it as a major cause of yield loss. Tomato was grown all year round on 60% of the fields with only short fallow periods. All farmers reported that they were relying on fungicides for EB control and none among the cultivars grown was resistant to the disease. A total of 40 fungicide products, representing 20 active compounds with varying FRAC resistance risk levels were in use against EB. Majority (83%) of the farmers were applying fungicides at dosages and frequencies higher than those indicated on labels. Most farmers (81%) indicated that they had observed declines in effectiveness of at least one fungicide, used at EB control. This observation was more with fungicides in the strobilurin and triazole groups. These findings demonstrate that the current tomato production systems in Kenya do not take into account the risk of A. solani developing resistance to fungicides. Enhancing farmers' knowledge of the disease and their ability to properly select and apply fungicides is therefore crucial for effective control of EB and mitigating the high risk of fungicide resistance build up
