The Thoroughbred breed, considered a king of galloping, developed in England during the 17th - 18th centuries, by mating mares on the island with stallions brought from the East of Berber region, Turkoman and Arab origin. Historical records mark the stallions Darley Arabian (1704), Byerley Turk (1680) and Godolphin Barb (1729) as the founders of the lines. Other stallions that contributed to the development of the breed but were less influential were: Alcock’s Arabian, D’Arcy’s White Turk, Leedes Arabian, and Curwen’s Bay Barb and Brownlow Turk, the latter being considered to be the one that caused the appearance of the gray color in the Thoroughbred breed.

The district of Baia Mare, located in the eastern area of Satu Mare County, includes all the shapes of relief (mountains, hills, plain) and this is a fact to leave mark upon the population’s life and evolution. The largest number of localities is located along the valleys that dig the territory, the Someș Valley especially. The Depression of Oaș and this one of Maramureș are also intensely populated, with a high number of localities. Apa and Medieșu Aurit are to be noted for their highest demographic density, in the area of the Someș Valley, a proper place for agriculture and for a better living standard so. Mining was the occupational filed for many of the district’s habitants, especially for those in the mountainous areas of Oaș and Baia Mare, and Baia Sprie countryside, together with breeding and farming. The mining workers’ life was particularly difficult. The privileged statutes of the two towns mentioned above proves the mining ampleness and importance in this district which was the unique territorial-administrative unit to include two royal free towns in the county of Satu Mare.

The archbishop of Atanasie Stoenescu, bishop of Râmnicu, is written after the model of the hierarchs printed in Venice, having in front the two Liturgies: of Ioan Gura de Aur and of Vasile cel Mare. The archbishop (gr. Ἀρχιερατικόν, sl. Cinovnic) the hierarchical liturgy or hierarchical servant is a service book used in church services performed by bishops, which includes the order of the service of the Mass and other services for the Mass, the ordinance for the horotony and ordination of the clergy of various degrees, for the sanctification of the antimises, for the sanctification of the churches, as well as for the sanctification of the Holy and Great Anointing.

Vessels with tubes found whole in the settlement at Pietroasa Mică-Gruiu Dării are extremely rare discoveries (Pl. 1-2). Very few complete vessels of this type were discovered on Romania's territory in Râmnicelu - La pochina (Brăila county), Bîrgăoani-Ghelăieşti - Nedeia (Neamţ county), Vermeşti-Comăneşti - Cetăţuia (Bacău county) and Ciumeşti (Satu Mare county). Two other vessels with partially broken tubes were unearthed in Drăguşeni-Fălticeni (Suceava county) and Seciu (Prahova county). The vessel (Pl. 2) found in 2013 at Gruiu Dării is the only one with two tubes discovered so far in Romania. These two vessels with tubes were discovered outside well determined complexes, in Chalcolithic layers characterized by the mixture of archaeological materials of type Cernavoda I - Cucuteni B (both with an important "C" type component). The reduced size of the vessels seem to exclude the possibility of using them in the artificial feeding of infants. Chemical analyzes could be a solid reference to their possible functionality only if those vessels were not used for multiple purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The reproduction of mares has very special aspects, the mare being unique from the morphological point of view, both anatomically and functionally. The major feature, from an endocrine point of view, is the seasonality of the breeding process, which, contrary to other seasonal species (e.g., sheep) is held in spring. Hormonal therapy is used for shortening the transition period through the administration of gestagens, and for the stimulation of ovulation during late transition with hCG (Chorulon) and using gonadorelines.

Infecţiile în obstetrică reprezintă în continuare o mare provocare, deşi apar mereu noi elemente de fiziopatologie. În acest domeniu, continuăm să întâlnim cazuri cu evoluţie gravă, de cele mai multe ori apărute aproape ca din senin. Devine tot mai evident că acest domeniu trebuie înţeles şi investigat în ansamblu, adică mamă şi făt. Trebuie luate în consideraţie toate manifestările, chiar şi cele nesemnificative, atât la mamă, cât şi la făt. Un punct de plecare foarte frecvent întâlnit trebuie să fie apariţia contracţiilor uterine. Pe de altă parte, trebuie acordată atenţie manifestărilor fetale. Elementele sugestive de tulburare a stării de bine a fătului pot constitui semnale ale sindromului inflamator fetal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
