Number of views: 1470 Download in PDF
6. M. Kürşad Özlen, Mehmet ÖzgünAbstract:
The Focusing of the study is to determine the effect of exercise during menstrual cycle on female long distance runners. The Main objectives of this study were to assess the effect of exercise concert at the period of menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle do not affect muscle contractile characteristics. Most research also reports no changes over the menstrual cycle for the many determinants of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), such as lactate response to exercise, bodyweight, plasma volume, hemoglobin concentration, heart rate and ventilation. Therefore, it is not surprising that the current literature indicates that VO2max is not affected by the menstrual cycle. These findings suggest that regularly menstruating female long distance runners, competing in strength-specific sports and intense anaerobic/aerobic sports, do not need to adjust for menstrual cycle phase to maximize performance. For prolonged exercise performance, however, the menstrual cycle may have an effect. To evaluate that whether the exercise are harmful during menstruation or not, to assess what changes occurs before, during, and after menstruation, and to know the effects of menstruation upon personal performance A questionnaire was developed and distributed among the female long distance runners. The received responses of female long distance runners were tabulated and analyzed. Main findings were that exercises are not harmful during menstruation; personal performances are increased during bleeding days.

8. Elena N. Tsay, Olessya V. TkachenkoAbstract:
The East Caucasian languages are marked for rather heterogeneous strategies to form plurals. Typically, we observe larger sets of allomorphs that reflect at least in parts older strategies of semantic-based nominal subcategorization. In addition, we have to refer to distributional criteria related to the phonotactics of the given nouns. The present paper offers a closer inspection of plural formation in Udi and Caucasian Albanian, a possible ancestor of Udi, both from a synchronic perspective and diachronic perspective.

Abstract:
This article included the analysis of the Western audiovisual stereotypes of Russian image from the period of ideological confrontation (1946-1991): ideological and social trends, classification of the contents’ models and genres. The content analysis of the western media texts of the period of the “cold war” (1946-1991) allows to present their main plot diagrams as follows: Soviet spies penetrate into the territory of the USA/Western country to commit diversion and/or to worm out military secrets; the USSR prepares a covert attack on the territory of the USA/Western world, creating secret bases with nuclear weapons; the inhuman Soviet totalitarian regime oppresses its own people or the people of any other country; Nonconformity leaves/attempts to leave the USSR where, in their opinion, democracy and individual freedom are being oppressed; common western people explain to Soviet military/civilian visitors who were mislead by propaganda that the USA/Western country is the stronghold of friendship and world-wide prosperity and peace; obstacles connected with the ideological confrontation between the USSR and the Western world appear on the way of a loving couple.
