Razumov dealing with the question of funerary applications of flint artefacts documented in Pontic communities of the forest steppe and steppe tied to the prologue of the Bronze Age (3200-1600 BC), usually identified in the form of a sequence of archaeological cultures (according to Razumov as a Cultural-Historical Com- munity; Yamnaya, Catacomb and Babyno)1. The editors of Baltic-Pontic Studies believe research in this context ought to integrate studies on flint use and manu- facture at the turn of the Neolithic and Eneolithic, as well as Early Bronze Age among academic circles in Central-Eastern and Eastern Europe. In this respect it could be said that to date there has been a lack of a complete picture of Pontic traditions of manufacture (technology and style), as well as an anthropological perspective of flint artefact applications. Moreover, it is worth noting that Sergiey M. Razumov’s study finds common ground with the broader cycle of studies on ‘The Baltic drainage basin as a region of reception for the tradition of Early Bronze Age Pontic Cultures’ in which growth has an important influence (see Chapter 7 in particular). The general question of a stage-by-stage summary of these studies shall be the subject of a forthcoming volume of Baltic-Pontic Studies. In closing I would like to sincerely thank Professor Jerzy Libera (Marii Curie- -Skłodowska University) and Dr Janusz Budziszewski (Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University) for their invaluable assistance in regard to research and publication. 1 See footnote 2, Introduction. Editorial comment 1. All dates in the B-PS are calibrated [BC; see: Radiocarbon vol. 28, 1986, and the next volumes]. Deviations from this rule will be point out in notes [bc]. 2. The names of the archaelogical cultures and sites are standarized to the English literature on the subject (e.g. M. Gimbutas, J.P. Mallory). In the case of a new term, the author’s original name has been retained. 3. The spelling of names of localities having the rank of administrative cen- tres follows official, state, English language cartographic publications (e.g. Ukraine, scale 1 : 2 000 000, Kiev: Mapa LTD, edition of 1996; Rèspublika BELARUS’, REVIEW-TOPOGRAPHIC MAP, scale 1:1 000 000, Minsk: BYELORUSSIAN CARTOGRAPHIC AN GEODETIC ENTERPISE, edition 1993). 7 INTRODUCTION The emergence and development of a complex food-producing economy, dominated by extensive forms of cattle-breeding, in the territory of south-eastern Europe was accompanied by major cultural transformations. Major cultural – historical communities of the Early and Middle Bronze Ages were formed in the Steppe and Forest-Steppe areas. The environmental situation determined, to a large extent, the economic development of the Northern Pontic population towards nomadic cattle-breeding. That community developed a special kurgan (burial mound) type of burial construction, and wheelled means of transportation. Consolidation, mobility and activity of the Steppe tribes led to an increasingly complex social structure [Masson et al. 1982:33]. This was fully manifested as early as in the Middle Bronze and transition to the Late Bronze Age, when the Northern Pontic territory was populated subsequently by representatives of the Catacomb and Babyno2 cultural – historic communities.3 Tools, made of isotropic raw materials, most commonly flint, which had dominated in the manufacture sphere for hundreds of thousands of years, started to gradually lose their importance. First and foremost, this occurred due to de- velopment of copper-and-bronze metallurgy. Metal tools had obvious strengths compared to stone tools: they were forgeable, plastic, could be sharpened at a more abrupt edge, made of re-usable material (i.e., could be melted and forged anew), and were multi-functional [Semenov 1957: 237]. Those advantages made it impossible for flint to compete with metal in such operations as cutting, chop- ping, and piercing, which were important not only for the economic activity but also in warfare. Hence, having seen their heyday in the Eneolithic era, stone tools were gradually replaced with copper-and-bronze ones. Meanwhile, studies of Eneolithic – Bronze metal tools showed that

Abstract The article provides an overview of descriptions of total solar eclipses in different literature forms, rites and toponyms of Slavs. It is shown that the solar eclipse had a prominent role in the worldview of the tribes. Explanations of some terms of Slavic outlook are given with suggestions for the correct terminology. A program for further investigation in Slavic and other people’s culture is proposed. Keywords: Total solar eclipse; Archeoastronomy; Mythology; Slavs; Character 'Akhet' (Figure 2) should be translated as 'eclipse' instead of Akhet; Myth of creation of the world; Myth of end of the world; 'horizon'.

  • Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease in the Southern Ukraine
    — !!!cifra_MNJ_№5_(tom16)_2020 01.07. Белоусова 07.07.Евдокимова ОРИГІНАЛЬНІ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ /ORIGINAL RESEARCHES/ UDC 616.858-036.22 DOI: 10.22141/2224-0713.16.5.2020.209248 I.V. Hubetova Odessa Regional Clinical Hospital, Odesa, Ukraine Odessa National Medical University, Odesa, Ukraine Epidemiology of Parkinson’s disease in the Southern Ukraine Abstract. Background. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease with accumulation of alpha-synuclein and the formation of Lewy bodies inside nerve cells. The prevalence of PD ranges from 100 to 200 cases per 100,000 population. However, in the Ukrainian reality, many cases of the disease remain undiagnosed, which affects the statistical indicators of incidence and prevalence. The purpose of the study is to compare PD epidemiological indices in the Southern Ukraine with all-Ukrainian rates. Material and methods. Statistical data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, public health departments of Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions for 2015–2017 were analyzed. There were used the methods of descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. Results. Average prevalence of PD in Ukraine is 67.5 per 100,000 population — it is close to the Eastern European rate. The highest prevalence was registered in Lviv (142.5 per 100,000), Vinnytsia (135.9 per 100,000), Cherkasy (108.6 per 100,000) and Kyiv (107.1 per 100,000) regions. The lowest rates were in Luhansk (37.9 per 100,000), Kyrovohrad (42.5 per 100,000), Chernivtsi (49.0 per 100,000) and Ternopil (49.6 per 100,000) regions. In the Southern Ukraine, the highest prevalence of PD was found in Mykolaiv region.
