The state of research of the concept of intentionalityin criminal legal literature
Authors: Savytska Valeriya
Published: March 2021

The state of research of the concept of consciousness in the criminal law literature is studied. The Consti-tution of Ukraine in Art. 62 declared that a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and may not be subjected to criminal punishment until his guilt has been proved in a lawful manner and established by a court conviction. No one is required to prove their innocence. The accusation cannot be based on evidence obtained illegally, nor on assumptions. All doubts about the guilt of a person are interpreted in his favor. This provision of the Basic Law is reflected in Part 2 of Art. 2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, Art. 2, art. 17 and item 2 part 1 of Art. 91 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, which should maximally promote the implementation of such a constitutional norm. In turn, guilt is a mandatory feature of the subjective side of the crime, the establishment of which is the final step in establishing the crime as the only basis for criminal liability, so its clarification is important. Traditionally, in addition to guilt, the signs of the subjective side of the crime include motive, purpose and emotional state. At the same time, in the Criminal Code of Ukraine there are other features defined by the legislator as mandatory and which reveal the content of the subjective side of the crime. One of them is intentionality. It has been proved that in the science of criminal law there is an opinion that it is appropriate to interpret the term "intentionality" not as knowledge or assumptions, but only as reliable knowledge. In addi-tion, intentionality is considered not as an independent feature of the subjective side of the criminal offense, but as a feature that characterizes the intellectual moment of the relevant form of guilt (usually intent (although in the scientific community there is no unity in this case). However, there is an alternative posi-tion, according to which intentionality is an independent feature of the subjective side, which must be con-sidered in conjunction with guilt. In order to establish the urgency of the need to use the sign of intentionality in criminal law and to understand in more detail its essence, we will consider the history of the development of the use of the concept of intentionality in the monuments of domestic criminal law.

Kazakhstan has adopted a policy of procedural economy, which is expressed in the acceleration of the pas-sage of criminal cases at all stages of the criminal process. The introduction of many new procedural institu-tions and forms of pre-trial investigation, the updating of criminal procedure legislation actualizes the issue of investigating the procedural status of the victim. The modern domestic criminal process should provide a balance between numerous novelties and procedural rules designed to ensure compliance with the principle of competition and equality of the parties to the prosecution and defense. In accordance with this principle, "the parties involved in criminal proceedings are equal, that is, they are given equal opportunities to defend their position in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the CPC. The authors have studied international documents regarding the regulation of the rights of victims in criminal proceedings. The victim is one of the Central figures in the criminal process, especially if it is a crime against the person, and must have broad rights to protect their interests. In this regard, the issue of choosing a preventive measure against a suspect (accused), taking into account the opinion of the victim, is of particular importance. The authors studied the opinions of scientists and practitioners on the issue under consideration, as well as the provisions of criminal procedure legislation regulating the rights and obliga-tions of the victim, the ratio of General and special norms. As a result, the authors concluded that it is necessary to grant the victim the right to Express his opinion on the use or non-use of coercive measures against the suspect. In the course of studying this issue, the authors applied methods of comparative analysis, deduction, forecasting, and others. On the basis of the research, appropriate recommendations were developed to improve the legal regulation of the rights of the victim in criminal proceedings of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The genesis of the use of service animals and special equipment in the conduct of operational investigative activities
Authors: Penkov Sergii
Published: March 2021

The article deals with research of development of means of operational-search activities (OSA) from ancient times to the present. The stages of the development of OSA tools, including service animals and special equipment, their dependence on scientific and technological progress and the role in combating crime have been considered. The author has concluded that the genesis of the use of service animals suggests that: 1) for many years (from the second century BC) in the law enforcement system used different species of animals, including geese, horses, rats, dogs, etc .; 2) the process of formation of the use of dogs in law enforcement went from the use of the latter in hunting and military affairs to the gradual occupation of a separate link in the structure of law enforcement, in particular dogs began to be used on a professional basis to search for odors, data transmission , protection of objects and people, detention of offenders, etc .; 3) analysis of the practice of using animals allows us to state that the largest and oldest role in law enforcement was played by dogs. From its immergence to the present day, the means of operational and investigative activities are in a state of constant development and improvement. Scientific and technological progress has turned covert means of obtaining information into one of the most effective tools for combating crime. For example, the capabilities of the operational and technical department of the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Dnipropetrovsk region will allow to simultaneously control a significant number of telephone lines, which allows you to effectively confront a permanent organized criminal group, especially at the stage of prepa-ration for crime. The use of such powerful tools on the one hand allows to obtain a huge array of information about the phenomena and processes occurring in the criminal environment, and therefore requires a significant number of experienced professionals to process it and extract information relevant to combating crime. On the other hand, along with information on training and enforcement, law enforcement agencies inevitably receive information on the honor and dignity of citizens that is irrelevant to pre-trial investigations, posing a real threat of abuse. Thus, the requirements for the impartiality of law enforcement officers increase, and the legislator is faced with the task of significantly improving the existing legal framework regulating opera-tional and investigative activities.

Authors: Shynkarenko Ihor , Spitsyna Hanna
Published: March 2021

The article determines that the basis for effective activity for the protection of critical infrastructure facilities is the formation of a system of legislative definition of criteria for attribution to the critical infrastructure of the state of the relevant facilities, including aviation. The basis of legislative and organizational activity in this sense is the implementation of scientific research aimed at the formation of scientific and organizational security of aviation objects. It is stated that beyond the scope of modern research in aviation security and in the whole of all critical infrastructure objects there remain: theoretical clarification of the essence and correlation of such theoretical and applied categories of different types of security with regard to critical infrastructure and aviation transport objects. The reasons and conditions for the formation of security threats to the entire aviation infrastructure of Ukraine have not been properly investigated. The necessity of development of theoretical and applied and legal problems of safety of the objects of aviation transport of Ukraine is determined not only by the intervention in the activity of civil aviation, but also by the whole complex of conditions of normal activity of structures and subjects of business activity of objects of aviation infrastructure. The purpose of the article is to create on the basis of a series of articles a theoretical basis for organizational and legal security of objects of aviation transport infrastructure. The purpose of the article was implemented in a systematic approach to the study of existing problems in the security sphere of aviation infrastructure. The use of a set of general and specific research methods made it possible to determine the factors and content of the causes and conditions of the formation of threats to the security of all aviation transport infrastructure in Ukraine. This approach made it possible to conclude that the content of security of aviation infrastructure and economic entities located in their territory can be viewed from several positions: First - as conditions in which there is a complex system where the action of external factors and internal factors does not lead to the emergence of threats and negative objective and subjective negative processes. Secondly, as a condition of critical infrastructure - aviation, at which the risk of harming people or property is reduced to an acceptable level. Thirdly - as a type of activity of authorized structural units for creation of normative conditions for functioning of critical infrastructure objects - aviation transport. Taking into account the analysis of the practice, legislative and departmental regulations and opinions of scientists, a differentiated classification of security threats to aviation infrastructure objects is given, with determination of their impact on each element of the infrastructure.

BACKGROUND: Implantable medical devices and hardware are prolific in medicine, but hardware associated infections remain a major issue. OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate a novel, biologic antimicrobial coating for medical implants. METHODS: Electrochemically compacted collagen sheets with and without crosslinked heparin were synthesized per a protocol developed by our group. Sheets were incubated in antibiotic solution (gentamicin or moxifloxacin) overnight, and in vitro activity was assessed with five-day diffusion assays against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Antibiotic release over time from gentamicin-infused sheets was determined using in vitro elution and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS: Collagen-heparin-antibiotic sheets demonstrated larger growth inhibition zones against P. aeruginosa compared to collagen-antibiotic alone sheets. This activity persisted for five days and was not impacted by rinsing sheets prior to evaluation. Rinsed collagen-antibiotic sheets did not produce any inhibition zones. Elution of gentamicin from collagen-heparin-gentamicin sheets was gradual and remained above the minimal inhibitory concentration for gentamicin-sensitive organisms for 29 days. Conversely, collagen-gentamicin sheets eluted their antibiotic load within 24 hours. Overall, heparin-associated sheets demonstrated larger inhibition zones against P. aeruginosa and prolonged elution profile via HPLC. CONCLUSION: We developed a novel, local antibiotic delivery system that could be used to coat medical implants/hardware in the future and reduce post-operative infections.
The expression of two collagen receptor subfamilies, integrins and discoidin domains during osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenehymal stem cells
Authors: Xue Fan , Zhou Wei , Lan Zedong
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: Collagen receptors are characterized by binding to and being activated by collagens. We know little about the molecular mechanism by which the integrins and discoidin domains (DDRs) recognize collagen. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of two main collagen receptor subfamilies, integrins and DDRs, during osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenehymal stem cells (hMSCs). METHODS: Using qRT-PCR, Western blots and FACS, the levels of DDR1, DDR2, integrin subunits β1, α1, α2, α10 and α11 receptors on hMSCs, were assessed upon activation by collagen type I, as well as during osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. RESULTS: The expression of DDR2 and integrin α11β1 was altered compared with other receptors when the cells were cultured under undifferentiated conditions. During osteogenic and chondrogenetic differentiation, DDR2 and α11 were up-regulated during early stages (6 day) of osteogenesis and chondrogenesis, respectively. The expression and activation of DDR2 was concomitant with another receptor integrin subunit β1 during osteogenetic differentiation. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggested that DDR2 was more specific for osteogenesis than chondrogenesis, while integrin α11β1 was more specific in chondrogenesis. DDR2 and α11 may play a role in the regulation of osteogenesis and chondrogenesis based on the differential expression of these receptors during lineage-dependent changes.

Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: An enzymatic crosslinking strategy using hydrogen peroxide and horseradish peroxidase is receiving increasing attention for application with in situ-formed hydrogels (IFHGs). IFHGs may also be ideal carrier materials for bone repair, although their ability to carry bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) has yet to be examined. OBJECTIVE: We examined the effectiveness of an IFHG made of hyaluronan (IFHG-HA) containing BMP2 for promoting bone formation in a mouse critical size bone defect model. METHODS: C57/BL6J mice received a 2-mm femoral critical-sized bone defect before being randomly assigned to one of the following treatment groups (n = 6): control (no treatment), IFHG-HA only, PBS with BMP2, and IFHG-HA with BMP2. X-ray radiographs were utilized to track new bone formation, and micro-computed tomography and histological examination were performed on new bone formed at the bone defect site two weeks after surgery. RESULTS: Mice treated with PBS with BMP2 and IFHG-HA with BMP2 had greater bone volume (BV) and bone mineral content (BMC) than those receiving control, and successfully achieved consolidation. Mice treated with IFHG-HA with BMP2 had significantly higher BV and BMC than those treated with PBS with BMP2. CONCLUSIONS: IFHG-HA may be an effective carrier for BMP2 to enable delivery for bone defect repair.

Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: Hepatoblastoma (HB) is an embryonic solid tumor and the most common primary malignant liver tumor in children. HB usually occurs in infants and children. Although treatment diversity is increasing, some patients still have very poor prognosis. Many studies have investigated USP7 inhibitors for tumors. Using database information, we found that USP7 is highly expressed in HB. METHODS: Lentivirus-mediated USP7 knockdown and overexpression was performed in HB cell lines HepG2 and Huh6. CCK8 and transwell assays were used to determine cell viability and metastasis. Flow cytometry was used to study cell cycle and apoptosis. Levels of proteins were detected using western blots. RESULTS: Downregulation of USP7 resulted in significant decrease in cell proliferation, clonal formation, and cell migration and invasion. With overexpression of USP7, cellular malignant behavior increased. Cell cycle assays showed that USP7 knockdown inhibited G1 to S phase transition in the cell cycle. Upregulation of USP7 promoted the transition. Animal experiments showed USP7 facilitated tumor growth in vivo. Western blots indicated that USP7 may affect HB tumorigenesis through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Furthermore, USP7 inhibitor P5091 inhibited HB development and PI3K/AKT pathway. CONCLUSION: USP7 upregulation contributed to HB genesis and development through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. USP7 could be a potential target for future HB treatment.

Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: CPNEs are significant biomarkers which can affect the progression and prognosis of various tumor diseases. However, the prognosis role of CPNEs in multiple myeloma (MM) is still unclear. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the prognosis role of CPNEs in MM. METHODS: Seven hundred and thirty-five samples from two independent data sets were involved to analyze the clinical and molecular characteristics, and prognosis role of the expression of CPNE1-9 in MM. RESULTS: MM patients with higher expressions of CPNE5 and CPNE9 had longer event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with CPNE5low and CPNE9low expression groups (EFS: P= 0.0054, 0.0065; OS: P= 0.015, 0.016, respectively). Multivariate regression analysis showed that CPNE5 was an independent favorable predictor for EFS and OS (EFS: P= 0.005; OS: P= 0.006), and CPNE9 was an independent positive indicator for EFS (P= 0.002). Moreover, the survival probability and the cumulative event of EFS and OS in CPNE5highCPNE9high group were significantly longer than other groups. CONCLUSIONS: High expressions of CPNE5 and CPNE9 might be used as positive indicators for MM, and their combination was a better predictor for the survival of MM patients.
Back-propagation of the Mahalanobis istance through a deep triplet learning model for person Re-Identification
Authors: Gómez-Silva María José , de la Escalera Arturo , Armingol José María
Published: March 2021

The automatization of the Re-Identification of an individual across different video-surveillance cameras poses a significant challenge due to the presence of a vast number of potential candidates with a similar appearance. This task requires the learning of discriminative features from person images and a distance metric to properly compare them and decide whether they belong to the same person or not. Nevertheless, the fact of acquiring images of the same person from different, distant and non-overlapping views produces changes in illumination, perspective, background, resolution and scale between the person’s representations, resulting in appearance variations that hamper his/her re-identification. This article focuses the feature learning on automatically finding discriminative descriptors able to reflect the dissimilarities mainly due to the changes in actual people appearance, independently from the variations introduced by the acquisition point. With that purpose, such variations have been implicitly embedded by the Mahalanobis distance. This article presents a learning algorithm to jointly model features and the Mahalanobis distance through a Deep Neural Re-Identification model. The Mahalanobis distance learning has been implemented as a novel neural layer, forming part of a Triplet Learning model that has been evaluated over PRID2011 dataset, providing satisfactory results.

Its core is that relative superiority judgment matrix is obtained by comparing with two sets of interval numbers under the same indicator, which the group of interval numbers is equivalently mapped to the exact value form with the merits of relationship, then the weights of each indicator are calculated. Finally, the method is illustrated by giving an example.
A New semi-supervised clustering for incomplete data
Authors: Goel Sonia , Tushir Meena
Published: March 2021

Semi-supervised clustering technique partitions the unlabeled data based on prior knowledge of labeled data. Most of the semi-supervised clustering algorithms exist only for the clustering of complete data, i.e., the data sets with no missing features. In this paper, an effort has been made to check the effectiveness of semi-supervised clustering when applied to incomplete data sets. The novelty of this approach is that it considers the missing features along with available knowledge (labels) of the data set. The linear interpolation imputation technique initially imputes the missing features of the data set, thus completing the data set. A semi-supervised clustering is now employed on this complete data set, and missing features are regularly updated within the clustering process. In the proposed work, the labeled percentage range used is 30, 40, 50, and 60% of the total data. Data is further altered by arbitrarily eliminating certain features of its components, which makes the data incomplete with partial labeling. The proposed algorithm utilizes both labeled and unlabeled data, along with certain missing values in the data. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using three performance indices, namely the misclassification rate, random index metric, and error rate. Despite the additional missing features, the proposed algorithm has been successfully implemented on real data sets and showed better/competing results than well-known standard semi-supervised clustering methods.
Portrait photography splicing detection using ensemble of convolutional neural networks
Authors: Remya Revi K. , Wilscy M. , Antony Rahul
Published: March 2021

Forged portraits of people are widely used for creating deceitful propaganda of individuals or events in social media, and even for cooking up fake pieces of evidence in court proceedings. Hence, it is very important to find the authenticity of the images, and image forgery detection is a significant research area now. This work proposes an ensemble learning technique by combining predictions of different Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for detecting forged portrait photographs. In the proposed method seven different pretrained CNN architectures such as AlexNet, VGG-16, GoogLeNet, Res-Net-18, ResNet-101, Inception-v3, and Inception-ResNet-v2 are utilized. As an initial step, we fine-tune the seven pretrained networks for portrait forgery detection with illuminant maps of images as input, and then uses a majority voting ensemble scheme to combine predictions from the fine-tuned networks. Ensemble methods had been found out to be good for improving the generalization capability of classification models. Experimental analysis is conducted using two publicly available portrait splicing datasets (DSO-1 and DSI-1). The results show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods using traditional machine learning techniques as well as the methods using single CNN classification models.
Integration of statistical and administrative agricultural data from Namibia
Authors: Berg Emily , Im Johgho , Zhu Zhengyuan , Lewis-Beck Colin , Li Jie
Published: March 2021

Statistical and administrative agencies often collect information on related parameters. Discrepancies between estimates from distinct data sources can arise due to differences in definitions, reference periods, and data collection protocols. Integrating statistical data with administrative data is appealing for saving data collection costs, reducing respondent burden, and improving the coherence of estimates produced by statistical and administrative agencies. Model based techniques, such as small area estimation and measurement error models, for combining multiple data sources have benefits of transparency, reproducibility, and the ability to provide an estimated uncertainty. Issues associated with integrating statistical data with administrative data are discussed in the context of data from Namibia. The national statistical agency in Namibia produces estimates of crop area using data from probability samples. Simultaneously, the Namibia Ministry of Agriculture, Water, and Forestry obtains crop area estimates through extension programs. We illustrate the use of a structural measurement error model for the purpose of synthesizing the administrative and survey data to form a unified estimate of crop area. Limitations on the available data preclude us from conducting a genuine, thorough application. Nonetheless, our illustration of methodology holds potential use for a general practitioner.

The mechanisms of creation of electron-hole trapping centers in LiKSO4 have been investigated by the methods of vacuum and thermal activation spectroscopy. It is shown that electron-hole trapping centers are formed during the trapping of electrons by anionic complexes and localization of a hole in the lattice in the form of the radical SO4−. The appearance of phosphorescence at 3.0-3.1 eV, 2.6-2.7 eV and 2.3-2.4 eV confirms the creation of electron-hole trap centers.

Published: March 2021

The article presents the study results of detonation spraying parameters on the phase composition and tribological properties of NiCr-Al2O3 powder coatings. The spraying was carried out at a ratio of the acetylene-oxygen mixture O2 /C2H2=1.856. The detonation barrel filling volume with an explosive gas mixture varied from 30% to 68%. It is determined that the phase composition of the NiCr-Al2O3 coatings varies depending on the degree of detonation barrel filling. With an increase in the detonation barrel’s filling volume, the intensity of the NiCr diffraction peaks is decreased, and the intensity of the a-Al2O3 reflexes is increased, which indicates an increase in the content of the Al2O3 phase. When low filling volume, there is determined a low coating density and uneven roughness. The tribological test results showed that with an increase in the detonation barrel filling volume, there is a decrease in the wear volume, which confirms the increase in the coatings wear resistance. Determined that the lowest friction coefficient was recorded in the sample obtained at the barrel filling volume 68%. The coatings’ high wear resistance is associated with an increase in the alpha phase volume fraction of a-Al2O3 and coatings density.

Published: March 2021

Breast cancer is a hormone-dependent disease that relies on the mitogenic effect ofestrogen to increase tumorigenesis and tumor growth. Clinically significant levels ofestrogen-α receptor (ERα) expression are seen in 80% of human breast cancers,whereas progesterone receptor is expressed in 55% of human breast cancers. Thesedata are one of the bases for the development of endocrine therapy. Endocrinetherapy is therapy that targets the pathway and synthesis of estrogen, by blocking itvia receptors, reducing circulating levels of estrogen, or suppressing estrogensynthesis in the tissues of women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Published: March 2021

Introduction : Anxiety is one of the most non-motorized symptoms in patients with Parkinson's which greatly affects the quality of life, but in clinical practice it is often neglected. Anxiety in patients with Parkinson's can accelerate motor deterioration / disability and also increase mortality. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Neurology polyclinic Dr. M Djamil Padang from July to December 2020 in patients who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD) by excluding secondary Parkinson's and a history of stroke. Anxiety was measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). The research subjects were 60 people. Univariate analysis to present baseline characteristics and bivariate tests assessed factors associated with anxiety and the relationship between variables. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Most of the subjects were male (55%) with a mean age of 58.05 ± 9.7 years and disease duration of 6.35 ± 5.29 years. By examining the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), it was obtained 38.3% of Parkinson's sufferers with anxiety. There is a significant relationship between marital status, duration of illness and degree of disease with the incidence of anxiety (p <0.05) and there is no significant relationship between age and sex with the incidence of anxiety in patients with Parkinson's. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between marital status, duration of illness and degree of disease with the incidence of anxiety in patients with Parkinson's and there is no relationship between age and sex with the incidence of anxiety in patients with Parkinson's.
Epigenetic Regulation of Breast Cancer Stem Cells

Published: March 2021

Breast cancer arises as a result of abnormal breast cells forming at an uncontrolled rate. Death in this case of breast cancer is due to the ability of cancer cells to adapt so that it can have an effect on metastasis and recurrence of cancer that was previously thought to have been resolved. The results showed, there is a stem cell population in breast cancer cases which will cause breast cancer to become increasingly difficult to treat. Such cells are known as breast cancer stem cells.Breast cancer cells have the ability to differentiate and contribute greatly to the breast cancer program, as well as to resistance to therapy. Therefore, epigeneticregulation of breast cancer cells is important to study in order to overcome cancer so that it can overcome progression and resistance to cancer therapy being carried out.Epigenetic regulation that has been known in cancer cases includes DNA methylation, histone acetylation, histone methylation and epigenetic regulation by miRNA. DNA methylation is the addition of a methyl group to the nitrogen base of DNA cytosine which will force the DNA transcription process. Acetylation of theaddition of an acetyl group at the end of the histone causes reduced chromatin condensation so that it will activate the transcription process. Methylation histones will also suppress transcription so that genes cannot be expressed. In addition, there is also a small RNA molecule known as miRNA which can bind to the transcribed mRNA. This binding will cause the mRNA to degrade or inhibit its translation.

Intoduction: Breast cancer is a significant healthcare problem worldwide. Surgery remains the treatment of choice combined with other modalities such as chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy such as Artemisia vulgaris (AV). Selective cytotoxicity of AV is intended as a supplementation to Adriamycin-Cyclophosphamide, improving the response rate of chemotherapy in adenocarcinoma mammae. Method: This study used a "Post-test only control group design" on 24 females C3H mice that were randomly selected and divided into four groups: group K (control), P1 (chemotherapy), P2 (extract), and P3 (combination). Adenocarcinoma mammae come from the inoculation of donor mice. Chemotherapy of Adriamycin 60 mg / m 2 and Cyclophosphamide 600 mg / m 2 were given in two cycles. AV 13 mg (0.2 ml) was given once daily orally. NF-κB expression and CD34were evaluated using imunohistochemical staining.  Result: The expression of NF-κB and microvascular density of CD 34 were obtained in groups of K, P1, P2, P3 Statistical analysis showed significant decrease in the expression of NF-κB between groups K and P1, P2, P3. Correlation analysis between NF-κB expression with CD 34 was found to have significant correlation (p = 0,039 and r = 0,897). Conclusion:Artemisia vulgaris can reduce angiogenesis by decreasing NF-κB expression and the microvascular density CD34 of adenocarcinoma mammae of C3H mice treated with Adriamycin-Cyclophosphamide chemotherapy and can improve the effectivity.

Ґрунтовий спосіб утилізації відпрацьованих грибних блоків за попередньою обробкою ЕМ препаратами
Authors: Ковальов М.М.
Published: March 2021

Натепер все більшої актуальності набуває проблема відтворення родючості ґрунту на основі біологізації зем- леробства. Необхідність її розв’язання зумовлена тим, що розвиток землеробства вимагає врахування законів природи з метою збереження її ресурсного потенціалу шляхом скорочення техногенних навантажень та енер- гетичних витрат. Водночас ключового значення набуває рекуперація відпрацьованих солом’яних грибних блоків як органічного добрива. З агрохімічного боку останнім часом виникає доцільність ґрунтового використання такого виду відходів. Водночас утилізується значна маса її органічної речовини, забезпечуючи ґрунт суб- стратом для гумусоутворення та елементами живлення. Метою досліджень було розробити екологічно без- печну технологію утилізації відходів промислового виробництва гриба Глива звичайна, котра була б мак- симально простою в застосуванні й водночас дешевою, з використанням мікробіологічних препаратів. Методи. Агрохімічний аналіз, польовий дослід у коротко ротаційній зернотрав’яній сівозміні з викорис- танням мінеральних добрив, біопрепарату й солом’яних відходів грибного виробництва, врожайність та якісні характеристики зерна ячменю. Агротехніка вирощу- вання ячменю в дослідах була загальновизнаною для зони північного Степу України. Результати. За результатами лабораторно-польових досліджень в умовах Північного Степу України розгля- нуто можливість ґрунтового способу утилізації солом’я- них відходів з їх інокуляцією біопрепаратом ЕМ Біоактив у поєднанні з мінеральними добривами в технології обробки ячменю. У результаті досліджень встановлено, що внесення солом’яних відходів спільно з біопрепара- том сприяє активізації ґрунтової мікрофлори й поліп- шенню забезпеченості рослин елементами живлення. Внесення їх на тлі мінеральних добрив (N60P40K35) пози- тивно впливає на врожайність та якісні характеристики зерна ячменю. Економічно обґрунтована ефектив- ність їх застосування за ґрунтового способу утилізації солом’яних відходів на прикладі ячменю. Висновки. Внесення соломовміщувальних речо- вин, інокульованих біопрепаратом разом з азотними добавками, приводить до поліпшення агрофізичного стану ґрунту, його водного і поживного режимів. За вико- ристання соломовміщувальних відходів в поєднанні з біопрепаратом та азотними добривами прибавка вро- жайності ячменю збільшилася в середньому на 12–15%. Для отримання вищої врожайності необхідно вносити солом’яні відходи й біопрепарат разом із мінеральними добривами. Застосування солом’яних відходів, біопре- парату й азотних добрив економічно ефективно впливає на поліпшення екологічних функцій чорнозему типового.
Japan-Korea Relations: The Stalemate and the Future

Published: March 2021

Japan-Korea relations are haunted by Japan’s annexation of Korea from 1910 to 1945. But the two sides have put substantial efforts to overcome the past, notably Japan learning from Korean anguish and becoming humble and Korea accepting that humility. But when in 2004 Japan genuinely began respecting and admiring everything that Korea has achieved, Korea found a new era to regain their justice that they failed to establish when Korea was weak. But legal measures that Korea now found to regain justice, on conscripted workers and comfort women in particular, threatens to destroy all achievements the two countries have made so far. This article tries to find a way to save them.
