One of important episodes of cold war is considered in the article, when two leading trade-union centers of opposing parties (AFL-CIO and AUCCTU) developed a fight for influence and attraction on their side of trade union movement of the African countries. In this context the aim not to admit strengthening of the rival in the given region and to use the influence for advancement of foreign policy of their states was pursued. The expansion of the US trade union center in Africa began in the North African region, where the AFL-CIO supported national liberation movements in these countries, helped establish national trade union centers in Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco; the reasons for the deterioration of their relationship with the AFL-CIO in the future are considered. There are analyzed the methods used by AFL-CIO and the AUCCTU to attract African unions to their side, and the policy of balancing African labor leaders in these conditions. The changes in the policies of the Soviet and American trade union centers after 1960 (“Year of Africa”), when immediately 17 African states became independent, are analyzed. After that, the AFL-CIO and the AUCCTU identified for themselves priority countries in Africa, which are becoming a kind of «bridgeheads», «strongholds» for the development of their activities on the continent. For the AUCCTU this is Guinea; for the AFL-CIO – Kenya. It was found out how it happened that the AUCCTU actually lost its «bridgehead». The history of the confrontation between the trade union centers of the two superpowers for the influence in the trade union movement of Kenya, which became the stronghold of the AFL-CIO in Africa, is examined. The author concludes that the balance of power following the results of the struggle between the AFL-CIO and the AUCCTU for influence in Africa by the end of the 1960s evolved not in favor of the latter.

Ras a1 Khaimah is the most northerly of the seven states comprising the United Arab Emirates and its Ruler, H. H. Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qasimi, is keenly interested in the history of the state and its people. Survey carried out there jointly with Dr D. B. Doe in 1968 had focused attention on the site of JuIfar which lies just north of the present town of Ras a1 Khaimah (de Cardi, 1971, 230-2). Julfar was in existence in Abbasid times and its importance as an entrep6t during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-the Portuguese Period-is reflected by the quantity and variety of imported wares to be found among the ruins of the city. Most of the sites discovered during the survey dated from that period but a group of cairns near Ghalilah and some long gabled graves in the Shimal area to the north-east of the date-groves behind Ras a1 Khaimah (map, FIG. I) clearly represented a more distant past.

Genetic variety examination has demonstrated fundamental to the understanding of the epidemiological and developmental history of Papillomavirus (HPV), for the development of accurate diagnostic tests and for efficient vaccine design. The HPV nucleotide diversity has been investigated widely among high-risk HPV types. To make the nucleotide sequence of HPV and do the virus database in Thi-Qar province, and compare sequences of our isolates with previously described isolates from around the world and then draw its phylogenetic tree, this study done. A total of 6 breast formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) of the female patients were included in the study, divided as 4 FFPE malignant tumor and 2 FFPE of benign tumor. The PCR technique was implemented to detect the presence of HPV in breast tissue, and the real-time PCR used to determinant HPV genotypes, then determined a complete nucleotide sequence of HPV of L1 capsid gene, and draw its phylogenetic tree. The nucleotide sequencing finding detects a number of substitution mutation (SNPs) in (L1) gene, which have not been designated before, were identified once in this study population, and revealed that the HPV16 strains have the evolutionary relationship with the South African race, while, the HPV33 and HPV6 showing the evolutionary association with the North American and East Asian race, respectively.

By analyzing one of the most eventful periods of the modern history of Poland, the early 80s of the XX century, the author examines the dynamics of social and political conflict on the eve of the introduction of martial law, which determines the location of the leading political forces in these events in Poland, that were grouped around the Polish United Labor Party and the Independent trade union «Solidarity», their governing structures and grassroots organizations, highlighting the development of socio-political situation in the country before entering the martial law on the 13th of December and analyzing the relation of the leading countries to the events, especially the Soviet Union. Also, the author distinguishes causes that prevent to reach the compromise in the process of realization different programs, that were offered to public and designed by PUWP and «Solidarity» and were “aimed” to help Polish society to exit an unprecedented conflict. This article provides a comparative analysis of the different analytical meaningful reasons, offered by historians, political scientists, lawyers, and led to the imposition of martial law in the Republic of Poland. The author also analyses the legality of such actions by the state and some conclusions that were reached by scientists, investigating the internal dynamics of the conflict and the process of implementation of tasks, that Polish United Workers’ Party (which ruled at that time) tried to solve with martial law and «Solidarity» was used as self-determination in Polish society. Keywords: Martial law, Independent trade union «Solidarity», inter-factory strike committee, social-political conflict, Polish United Workers’ Party, the Warsaw Pact, the Military Council of National Salvation
