The article presents the results of the field study of the two artificial outcrops of the Pleistocene deposits, which are located in the suburbs Solonske near Drohobych city. Outcrops (careers) are located within the terrace of the Tysmenytsia River. The height of the terrace is about 50 m above the river level and changes along the distance from the mountains. The main attention in the article is paid to the study of the structure of the upper (covering) stratum of the terrace with a thickness of about 26 m, and also to the characteristics of its consolidated stratigraphic section. The basis of this stratum consists of the layers of non-carbonate loams and clays. They are more or less enriched of iron compounds and gleyed. Between them there are four horizons of buried soils of the interglacial and interstadial rank. Based on the observations made in the field, it was found that the sediments of the covering stratum have mainly river origin. The conditions of their accumulation, as well as the conditions for the formation and transformation of ancient soils, are considered; eight pre-Holocene lito- and pedostratigraphic layers of different rank are singled out. The division of the covering stratum of the terraces into three main layers is sub¬stan¬tiated, which is equivalent to the stratigraphic units of the glacial and interglacial rank. Comparison of the Solonske section with other sections of the similar height terraces, in particular with well-known outcrops near the village Dubrivka (section Dubrivka) gives grounds to assume that the formation of a local terrace occurred during the Marine Isotopic Stages 12 to 10. Consequently, the Solonske section represents a short strati¬gra¬phic interval of the Middle Pleistocene (not the three main Pleistocene units as stated in the results of its previous study). It can be the basis for studying only a few (two to three) horizons of the glacial/interglacial rank. At the same time, it is potentially a very impor¬tant key section of the Solonske (Dubrivska, Dovhivska, Varnytska) terrace of the Pre-Dniester. The studying of Solonske outcrops makes it necessary to revise the popular notions about the origin and the age of the so-called covering stratum of the river terraces of the Carpathian Foreland and Podolian Pre-Dniester, its stratigraphic filling and significance. Key words: alluvial deposits; terraces; soil-loess sequence; Middle Pleistocene; Dniester valley; Carpathian Foreland; Solonske section.

In the article is analyzed the soils’ properties in near-highway road strips of M-10 Lviv- Krakovets with width up to 150 m. Within the near-road strips of the highway, have been established 12 experimental polygons under forest, meadow vegetation and agricultural lands. On each polygons from soils profile samples are selected the most common soils: sod-podzolic, formed on fl uvio-glacial and gray-forest soils formed onloess loam. Completed description of soil profiles to depth of 0-100 cm. Part of experimental soils are formed under hornbeam-beech forests (11, 12 polygons) and oak-hornbeam-pine (4, 6, 7, 8 polygons). The researches revealed that in soil profiles at different depths are lie buried in eolian forms of relief (dunes) with different steepness of slopes. The steepness of the walls of the superficial layers of the dunes varies from 10 to 30°. In the research profiles of near-highway soils on the surface of the dunes, fi nd presence of progumed fragments of strips up wide to 2–3 cm. On the territory of the Nadsyanska moraine-zandrova alluvial plain at a distance of 50 m from the roadway (polygon 2, in the valley of the river Shklo, where the grassland vegetation is predominant, the turfy shallow gluten sandy soils are formed on alluvial deposits) discovered two low-power buried humus horizons who inherited a deflationary relief. Their steepness on the surface of the dunes is about 10 °. In polygon 3, the incision is laid in the micro threshold of the ancient relief, where the vegetation is represented by a spruce forest with oak impurities. In the profile of sod-hidden-podzolic sandy soil, on the surface of buried dunes which have steep walls 10-20°, are observed a humus layers . In the polygon 12, which is laid in the southwestern spurs of Roztochya 1,5 km north of the village of Birky in the hornbeam forest, steepness of the walls superficial layers of dunes of western exposition ranges from 10 to 12°. Soil is a clear-gray forest-loamy on loess loamy. In the soil profi les have been identified the following chemical elements: Pb, Zn, Co, Cu, Ni, Mo, Cr, Mn, V, Ba, Sr, Zr, Fe, Ti, Sn. The researches have established that in the territory of the Nadsyanska moraine-zandrovu alluvial plain, and in the southwestern spurs of Roztochchya, widespread buried dune relief. Based on our research, we propose to consider the issue of the allocation of types (subtypes) in soil legends, to investigate the defilations and inter deflation periods of their formation. Key worlds: near-roads strips, soil profile, deflation forms, buried soils, fragments of humus layers.

This paper concerns deals with new discovery of microdiamonds and cosmic spherules from Middle Pleistocene Selenge river basin by the example of the Teel and Khukh Ereg terrace alluvial terraces. The Teel and Khukh Ereg alluvial terraces are located at the north and south edges of the Selenge river (Fig.1), at the base of mountain Namnan uul (Fig.2). These terraces are those whose cusp and bench entirely composed of alluvial sediments of Middle Pleistocene age [1]. This indicates that the Selenge river has a long history of development, had time to develop a flood plain and to deposit alluvium, through which it cut subsequently and north and south behind as a Teel and Khukh Ereg terraces [2]. Alluvium studies may be of great practical interest because in some areas, river terraces are veritable treasure-troves of economic minerals. With river terraces are associated most placer deposits of such important economic minerals as gold, platinum, diamond, etc. Numerous engineering projects, an example, bridges (Kherlen, Tuul, Selenge, Orkhon, Baidrag, Tui, Zavkhan, Delger Muren, etc.), dams and hydropower plants (Durgun Nuur, Ulaan Boom) are built on alluvial deposits. Hence the need to know all the essential features of the geostructure of river terraces. Just our investigation of the Selenge river terraces in 2006-2010 and 2014 gave possibility to discover the placer diamonds within the Teel and Khukh Ereg alluvial terraces for the first time in Mongolia [3,4].

At environs of the village Dovhe in Ivano-Frankivs’k region (oblast) the fourth, fifth and sixth terraces of the Dnister River are well developed. They occur in the close vicinity to each other and are fully exposed. The authors published sections of the V and VI terraces earlier. In the present paper the description of the IV terrace is given. All the high terraces of the Dnister River from environs of Dovhe show the geological substrate below the alluvial cover. The section over the substrate parts is composed of the gravelly-to-pebbly channel alluvial deposits, sand and clay deposits of the alluvial plain, and covering subaerial loess and paleosoil deposits of the various thicknesses. In the fourth terrace, the complete section of the first and the second phases of the Korshiv paleosoil are exposed, with the entire thickness equal 3.6 m. Therefore, the ancient Korshiv paleosoil complex in the Dovhe section can be the stratotype section for the Forecarpathians. Key words: terrace, alluvium, subaerial cover, loess-soil series, buried soils, soil complexes, paleolit.

This paper examines the concept and practices of the Iranian ritual courtesy ta’ârof in northern Tehran, based on field-study findings, and analyses its expression in intercultural communication. It examines how contemporary Iranians perceive ta’ârof, what practices of ritual courtesy are commonly found, and whether configurations of the Iranian code of courtesy remain stable in the changing cultural environment. The study employs the theory of face maintenance and data from Iranian face and diaspora research. It shows emic perceptions of ta’ârof, and reveals its practices in Tehran, alongside tendencies of expression among Iranians living in Lithuania. Key words: ta’ârof, ritual courtesy, capital-city culture, intercultural communication, contemporary Iran.

Field experiments and survey methods were used to assess competition and interaction between Lemna minor L. and Lemna trisulca L. at Delta Marsh, Manitoba. Sites were dominated by one or the other species or codominated by both. Replacement series experiments predicted codominance of L. minor and L. trisulca in an unshaded eutrophic site but predicted L. minor dominance when run for a longer time. Similar experiments conducted in a shaded eutrophic site predicted L. minor dominance. Addition series experiments showed that intraspecific and interspecific competition occurred in the unshaded site. In a eutrophic unshaded ditch, high densities of L. minor suppressed L. trisulca. In a eutrophic shaded site, high densities of L. minor and green algae inhibited L. trisulca, and in a sunny, less eutrophic site high density of each species inhibited the other. In a transplant experiment, L. minor biomass in shaded enclosures approached that found naturally in two shaded sites. Lemna trisulca persisted when shaded. Vegetative biomass trends in an unshaded eutrophic marsh ditch indicated spring and fall L. trisulca dominance and summer L. minor dominance. Shaded eutrophic sites were dominated by L. minor, whereas a less eutrophic site was dominated by L. trisulca. A model is developed to explain dominance patterns, and seasonal life-history responses are considered. Key words: Lemna, duckweed, competition, interaction, resources, light, nutrients.

Formerly there were several surface brine springs in the North-East Coalfield; to-day there are none. From the many accounts of their occurrence nothing has been learned of their exact position, and very little of the composition of their waters. The earliest record, made in 1684, described the Butterby spring (Todd, 1684), and then at various times during the next two centuries brine springs at Framwellgate, Lumley, Birtley, Walker, Wallsend, Hebburn, and Jarrow were noted. In particular the Birtley salt spring is often mentioned, and on the 6-in. Ordnance map, Durham No. 13, 1862 edition, it is sited to the south-east of the village. Although no record has been found there must have been either a brine spring or well at Gateshead, for the name of the present-day suburb, Saltwell, is very old, and brine springs are still active in the coal workings of that area.

"Lumen Accipe et Imperti ", says the motto of Wellington College; and, in becoming a teacher, after being a pupil of the College, I fully accepted the injunction to receive the light and impart it. But it took the preparation of this thesis on the apprenticeship system to bring home to me the<br>strength of the human impulse implied in those four<br>Latin words.<br>In the ideal, the impulse is personified in Oliver Goldsmith's description of the village schoolmaster who "...tried each art, reproved each dull delay; Allur'd to brighter worlds, and led the way."<br><div>It is this impulse to seek skills and to hand them on which helps to explain the enigma of a system apparently always on the point of being out-moded, and yet surviving time and change, depression and prosperity, wars and its greatest challenge, the machine age.</div><div>In 1898 - before the Boer War - a Member of the New Zealand Parliament announced that a pair of boots had been made in 25 minutes, passing through 53 different machines and 63 pairs of hands. The tone of the brief, ensuing discussion was one suited to the occasion of an imminent demise, and a Bill for improvement of the apprenticeship system then before the House quietly expired.<br><br></div>

Key words: European ecocriticism, Canadian ecological identity, federation, European nature, European identity, diversity, fragmentation, bioregional network, eco-comparatist, multilingual ecocriticism European ecocriticism is distinguished from ‘ecocriticism made in USA’ by geo-physical fragmentation, the absence of shared encounters of the human with the non-human, and linguistic and political heterogeneity. There is no unitary continental consciousness. However, linguistic and cultural diversity can be an asset rather than a disadvantage, if it is allowed to steer European ecocriticism in a new direction. The European terrain invites ecocritics to become multilingual eco-comparatists, paying special attention to how linguistic representation aids and hampers environmental consciousness.  Palabras clave: eco crítica europea, identidad ecológica canadiense, federación, naturaleza europea, identidad europea, diversidad, fragmentación, red bioregional, eco-comparatista, eco crítica multilingüe. La ecocrítica europea se distingue de la ecocrítica ‘made in USA’ por la fragmentación geofísica, la ausencia de encuentros compartidos de lo humano con lo no-humano y por la heterogeneidad lingüística y política. No hay una conciencia continental unitaria. Sin embargo, la diversidad cultural y lingüística puede ser una ventaja más que una desventaja si se la permite dirigir la ecocrítica europea en una nueva dirección. El terreno europeo invita a los ecocríticos a convertirse en eco-comparatistas multilingües, prestando especial atención a cómo la representación lingüística ayuda y obstaculiza a la conciencia medioambiental.
