Improving seed quality of sorghum species in the Altai region
Authors: Шукис Е.Р. , Шукис С.К.
Published: August 2022

В статье приводятся размеры потерь урожая от использования для посева низковсхожих семян. Делается вывод о том, что высококачественные семена формируются в теплообеспеченные годы. Доказана необходимость смещения сроков семеноводческих посевов на более ранние (20 мая). Установлено, что умеренное загущение растений в рядке за счёт увеличения нормы высева снижает удельный вес семян на боковых побегах, что положительно отражается на качестве. Сплошной рядовой посев более оптимален для суданской травы. При широкорядном посеве полнее реализуют свой продуктивный потенциал растения сахарного сорго. Семеноводческие посевы сорговых культур следует обеспечивать фосфором или его комбинациями с азотом и калием. Весьма отрицательно на всхожесть семян влияет повышенная уборочная влажность. Чем скороспелее исходный и селекционный материал, тем ниже его кормовой потенциал. Между длиной вегетационного периода и всхожестью семян наблюдается обратная зависимость. Конструктивно более устойчивыми к осыпанию в ветреную погоду являются поникающие под тяжестью наливающихся семян формы, у которых метёлки в полуполёгшем состоянии надёжно фиксируются, что исключает их удары друг о друга. Наиболее совершенным на данный момент является экспериментальный сорт суданской травы Приалейская 12 среднепоздней группы. Он сочетает высокую кормовую и семенную продуктивность с вполне приемлемой всхожестью семян.

The paper reports on yield losses resulted from the use of seeds, having low germination ability. Formation of high-quality seeds happened in warm years. The paper postulates the importance of seeding date shift to the earlier period (May 20). Moderate crop density as a result of higher seeding rate reduced specific seed weight from lateral shoot and improved seed quality. Solid seeding was more optimal for Sudan grass. Sweet sorghum performed the best under wide-row seeding. Sorghum should be supplied with P and its combinations with N and K. High water content at harvesting time negatively affected seed germination. The faster crop reaches its maturity the lower its forage quality. The length of the growing season negatively correlated with seed germination ability. Genotypes having drooping panicle were more resistant to shedding under strong wind. Sudan grass “Prialeyskaya 12” currently undergoing the variety trial is the most optimal mid-long-season variety. It has high forage and seed productivity combined with sufficient germination ability.

Раскрывается следующая модель управления развитием профессиональной компетентности, которая осуществляется в учреждениях последипломного педагогического образования. В ее структуру входят три ключевых компонента: концептуальный (совокупное управленческое знание), технологический (уровень сформированности профессиональной компетентности педагогов) и содержательный (управленческое и методическое сопровождение профессиональной компетентности педагогов). Основными последовательными подсистемами развития профессиональной компетентности педагога являются: профессиональное становление (наблюдается на начальных этапах профессиональной деятельности педагога и связывается с формированием у него профессиональной позиции), профессиональное развитие (оказывается в активной педагогической деятельности) и творческая реализация (дает возможность проявить свои индивидуальные и профессиональные возможности). Главными этапами управления развитием профессиональной компетентности педагога являются: докурсовый (подготовительный), базовый (непосредственное прохождение курсов повышения квалификации) и послекурсовый (внедренческий).

The following model of management of professional competence development, which is carried out in institutions of postgraduate pedagogical education, is revealed. Its structure includes three key components: conceptual (total managerial knowledge), technological (the level of formation of professional competence of teachers) and substantive (managerial and methodological support of professional competence of teachers). The main sequential subsystems of the development of a teacher's professional competence are: professional formation (observed at the initial stages of a teacher's professional activity and associated with the formation of his professional position), professional development (turns out to be in active pedagogical activity) and creative realization (gives the opportunity to show their individual and professional capabilities). The main stages of managing the development of professional competence of a teacher are: pre-course (preparatory), basic (direct completion of advanced training courses) and post-course (implementation).

Актуальность данной темы обусловлена тем, что с развитием компьютерных технологий, в нашей стране не хватает качественных специалистов в области IT технологиях. Особо остро почувствовали в нынешней политической ситуации. Образовательный процесс пытается активно внедряет информационные технологии, но не успевает в ногу со временем. Человечество и передовых странах цифровые технологии выходят на первое место. Сейчас мы себе не можем представить жизнь без смартфона, персонального компьютера или любого программного обеспечения обслуживающее любую отрасль. Оно используется в медицине, в обороне страны, в защите информации, в образовании, в создании кино и мультиков, в проектировании космических моделей и во многом другом. Но чтоб его создать нужны специалисты в этой области. Их нужно сначала взрастить, выучить и выпустить в жизнь. Этот процесс долгий и трудоемкий. В данной статье анализируется ситуация с информационными технологиями в образовании в средних и высших учебных заведениях. Предлагаются пути решения этих проблем.

The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that with the development of computer technology, our country lacks high-quality specialists in the field of IT technologies. We felt it especially sharply in the current political situation. The educational process is trying to actively introduce information technology, but does not keep up with the times. For mankind and advanced countries, digital technologies come out on top. Now we cannot imagine life without a smartphone, personal computer or any software serving any industry. It is used in medicine, in the defense of the country, in the protection of information, in education, in the creation of films and cartoons, in the design of space models and much more. But to create it, you need experts in this field. They must first be nurtured, learned and released into life. This process is long and laborious. This article analyzes the situation with information technologies in education in secondary and higher educational institutions. Ways of solving these problems are proposed.
The importance of teaching the discipline "medical documentation in rehabilitation institutions" in the training of specialists in physical therapy
Authors: Арсаханова Г.А.
Published: August 2022

Правильное ведение медицинской документации является важной составляющей деятельности всех учреждений здравоохранения. Недавно принятый закон о реабилитации в сфере здравоохранения вводит функционирование современной системы реабилитации в сфере здравоохранения, то есть оказания качественной реабилитационной помощи непосредственно в учреждениях здравоохранения с самого начала заболевания или травмы. Учитывая современную парадигму здравоохранения и физической терапии с их фокусировкой на функционировании человека, его активности и участия, при формировании реабилитационного диагноза следует использовать Международную классификацию функционирования, ограничения жизнедеятельности и здоровья (МКФ). Из определения реабилитационного диагноза, который кодируют категории МКФ и который содержит цель реабилитации в целом и задачи реабилитационной программы, начинается индивидуализация физической терапии для каждого пациента. То есть система реабилитации основывается на биопсихосоциальной модели ограничения повседневного функционирования / жизнедеятельности, реабилитационной стратегии здравоохранения и МКФ.

Proper maintenance of medical records is an important component of the activities of all health care institutions. The recently adopted law on rehabilitation in the field of healthcare introduces the functioning of a modern system of rehabilitation in the field of healthcare, that is, the provision of high-quality rehabilitation care directly in healthcare institutions from the very beginning of the disease or injury. Taking into account the modern paradigm of healthcare and physical therapy with their focus on human functioning, activity and participation, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) should be used in the formation of a rehabilitation diagnosis. From the definition of the rehabilitation diagnosis, which is encoded by the ICF categories and which contains the goal of rehabilitation in general and the objectives of the rehabilitation program, the individualization of physical therapy for each patient begins. That is, the rehabilitation system is based on a biopsychosocial model of limiting daily functioning/vital activity, a rehabilitation strategy for healthcare and ICF.

Стремительные изменения экономических, социальных и культурных условий, что происходят в современном обществе, обусловливают необходимость воспитания молодого поколения, которое способно отвечать требованиям общества ХХІ века. Неопределенность и изменчивость будущего требует специалистов, способных быстро адаптироваться, приспосабливаться, самостоятельно и ответственно принимать решения, ориентированных на успех и самосовершенствование. В связи с этим в процессе модернизации государственной системы образования возрастает необходимость формирования человекоцентрической образовательной среды. В концепции высшей школы подчеркивается, что выпускник новой школы – это личность, патриот, инноватор, способный менять окружающий мир, конкурировать на рынке труда, учиться на протяжении жизни. Реализация целей и задач, очерченных в основных нормативных документах, требует в воспитательной практике учебных заведений поиска оптимизации путей развития как интеллектуальных, так и социально-психологических и эмоционально мотивационных особенностей учащихся. То есть, задача современного образования – не только обучение, но и развитие личности, формирование навыков самоанализа, самооценки и рефлексии. В этом контексте значительные потенциальные возможности заложены в переживании успеха студентами как естественной основы их положительных эмоций в разносторонней деятельности.

The rapid changes in economic, social and cultural conditions that occur in modern society make it necessary to educate the younger generation, which is able to meet the requirements of the society of the XXI century. The uncertainty and variability of the future requires specialists who are able to adapt quickly, adapt, make decisions independently and responsibly, focused on success and self-improvement. In this regard, in the process of modernization of the state education system, the need for the formation of a human-centered educational environment is increasing. The concept of the higher school emphasizes that a graduate of a new school is a person, a patriot, an innovator who is able to change the world around him, compete in the labor market, and study throughout his life. The realization of the goals and objectives outlined in the main normative documents requires in the educational practice of educational institutions the search for optimization of ways to develop both intellectual and socio-psychological and emotionally motivational characteristics of students. That is, the task of modern education is not only training, but also personal development, the formation of skills of introspection, self–assessment and reflection. In this context, significant potential opportunities are laid in the students' experience of success as a natural basis for their positive emotions in diverse activities.
Project-based training of students as the main condition for their readiness for professional activity

Published: August 2022

Проектное обучение (project-based learning) все больше набирает обороты, поскольку является очень эффективным и актуальным подходом к преподаванию и учебу. Многочисленные исследования указывают на то, что после его успешного внедрения у учащихся улучшается мотивация к обучению и повышается уровень достижений. Также такая форма работы помогает реализовать частично программу ранней профориентации учащихся, чтобы в будущем выпускники сознательно выбирали профессию и учебное заведение. Поскольку обучение – это социальная активность, которая происходит в рамках студенческих групп, культуры и прошлого опыта, через проектное обучение студенты имеют возможность использовать не только знания по учебным дисциплинам, но и учиться вести переговоры, принимать общие решения, нести ответственность в соответствии с ролью в учебной команде и вместе интерпретировать результаты своей деятельности. Это также дает возможность педагогам увидеть обучающихся в новом свете, помогать им развивать врожденные способности в новый образ, что не удается порой в традиционной системе занятия. Кроме того, часто проектное обучение реализуется через междисциплинарные связи, выходящие за пределы программы одного конкретного предмета. Это значительно расширяет возможности педагога и способствует креативности, а обучающие часто имеют задачи, в процессе решения которых получают практические навыки, непредвиденные в теоретической части педагогического процесса.

Project-based learning is gaining momentum more and more, as it is a very effective and relevant approach to teaching and learning. Numerous studies indicate that after its successful implementation, students' motivation to learn improves and their level of achievement increases. Also, this form of work helps to partially implement the program of early career guidance of students, so that in the future graduates consciously choose a profession and an educational institution. Since learning is a social activity that takes place within student groups, culture and past experience, through project-based learning, students have the opportunity to use not only knowledge of academic disciplines, but also learn to negotiate, make common decisions, be responsible in accordance with their role in the learning team and interpret the results of their activities together. It also gives teachers the opportunity to see students in a new light, to help them develop their innate abilities into a new image, which sometimes fails in the traditional lesson system. In addition, project-based learning is often implemented through interdisciplinary connections that go beyond the program of one particular subject. This greatly expands the teacher's capabilities and promotes creativity, and students often have tasks in the process of solving which they gain practical skills that are unforeseen in the theoretical part of the educational process.
Structuring the competencies of university students while participating in practice-oriented activities

Современное образование и технологический прогресс предоставляют широкие возможности для самостоятельной творческой учебной деятельности студентов. Учебные задания по дисциплине, которые используются, предусматривают высокий уровень познавательной самостоятельности студентов и широкое использование эвристических навыков. Однако на сегодня остаются нерешенными существенные противоречия между необходимостью творческой самостоятельной познавательной деятельности студентов, широкими возможностями, которые предоставляет настоящее (электронные средства обучения, сеть интернет, большое количество часов по дисциплине для самостоятельной работы студентов) и неготовностью студентов и преподавателей к организации творческой самостоятельной работы студентов в современных условиях, особенно с иностранного языка. Существует три компонента познавательной самостоятельности: мотивационный (интерес к учебной деятельности и стремление овладеть будущей профессией); содержательно-операционный (владение системой ведущих знаний и способов деятельности); волевой (способность к волевым усилиям), а также три уровня познавательной самостоятельности: репродуктивный, частично-поисковый, исследовательский.

Modern education and technological progress provide ample opportunities for independent creative learning activities of students. The academic tasks in the discipline that are used provide for a high level of cognitive independence of students and the widespread use of heuristic skills. However, significant contradictions remain unresolved today between the need for creative independent cognitive activity of students, the wide opportunities provided by the present (electronic learning tools, the Internet, a large number of hours in the discipline for independent work of students) and the unwillingness of students and teachers to organize creative independent work of students in modern conditions, especially from a foreign language. There are three components of cognitive independence: motivational (interest in learning activities and the desire to master a future profession); content-operational (possession of a system of leading knowledge and methods of activity); volitional (the ability to volitional efforts), as well as three levels of cognitive independence: reproductive, partially exploratory, research.

Amphiphilic Stilbene Derivatives Attenuate the Neurotoxicity of Soluble Aβ42 Oligomers by Controlling Their Interactions with Cell Membranes
Authors: Mirica Liviu M.
Published: August 2022

Misfolded proteins or polypeptides commonly observed in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are promising drug targets for developing therapeutic agents. To target the amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and oligomers, the hallmarks of AD, we have developed twelve amphiphilic small molecules with different hydrophobic and hydrophilic fragments. In vitro binding experiments (i.e., fluorescence saturation assays) demonstrated that these amphiphilic compounds show high binding affinity to both Aβ plaques and oligomers, and six of them exhibit even higher binding affinity toward Aβ oligomers. These amphiphilic compounds can also label ex vivo Aβ species in the brain sections of transgenic AD mice, as shown by immunostaining with an Aβ antibody. Molecular docking studies were performed to help understand the structure-affinity relationships. To our delight, four amphiphilic compounds can alleviate Cu2+-Aβ induced toxicity in mouse neuroblastoma N2a via cell toxicity assays. In addition, confocal fluorescence imaging studies provided evidence that compounds ZY-15-MT and ZY-15-OMe can disrupt the interactions between Aβ oligomers and human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell membranes. Overall, these studies suggest that developing compounds with amphiphilic properties that target Aβ oligomers can be an effective strategy for small molecule AD therapeutics.
Molecular Engineering of Fluoroether Electrolytes for Lithium Metal Batteries

Published: August 2022

Fluoroether solvents are promising electrolyte candidates for high-energy-density lithium metal bat- teries, where high ionic conductivity and oxidative stability are important metrics for design of new systems. Recent experiments have shown that these performance metrics, particularly stability, can be tuned by changing the fraction of ether and fluorine content. However, little is known about how different molecular architectures influence the underlying ion transport mechanisms and conductivity. Here, we use all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the ion transport and solvation characteristics of fluoroether chains of varying length, and having different ether segment and flu- orine terminal group contents. The design rules that emerge from this effort are that solvent size determines lithium-ion transport kinetics, solvation structure, and solvation energy. In particular, the mechanism for lithium-ion transport is found to shift from ion hopping between solvation sites located in different fluoroether chains in short-chain solvents, to ion-solvent co-diffusion in long-chain solvents, indicating that an optimum exists for molecules of intermediate length, where hopping is possible but solvent diffusion is fast. Consistent with these findings, our experimental measurements reveal a non-monotonic behavior of the effects of solvent size on lithium-ion conductivity, with a maximum occurring for medium-length solvent chains. A key design principle for achieving high ionic conductivity is that a trade-off is required between relying on shorter fluoroether chains having high self-diffusivity, and relying on longer chains that increase the stability of local solvation shells.

We present two digital-based serious games aiming to engage students and the general public with battery sciences. The first one is a multiscale simulator in Mixed Reality of a battery-powered Electric Vehicle (EV) interacting with an Electrical Grid. One of the players drives the EV in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment where the EV can be recharged, and the other players control the electricity produced, distributed, consumed and stored by interacting with 3D-printed devices. The second serious game is a digital twin of a lithium ion battery manufacturing pilot line, which can be played from an Internet Browser or by using VR hardware. The key steps of the manufacturing process of cylindrical cells are represented in an interactive way. We discuss our games working principles, their implications for motivation, engagement and learning, and why they pave the way towards new ways of collaborative R&D in the battery field.
Linker-templated structure tuning of optical response in plasmonic nanoparticle gels
Authors: Singh Murari , Sherman Zachary M. , Milliron Delia J. , Truskett Thomas M.
Published: August 2022

Gel assemblies of functional nanoparticles, reversibly associated into percolating networks using bifunctional linking molecules, offer promise as versatile materials platforms. Molecular linkers can be customized to template interparticle spacing and modify colloidal network attributes, enabling design for structure-dependent properties. Mechanical properties of gels are commonly studied by molecular simulation, but simulating the optical response of large-scale, disordered assemblies has been computationally intractable, limiting our understanding of light-matter interactions in structurally complex plasmonic networks. Here, we use a recently developed mutual polarization method, capable of predicting optical properties for large disordered configurations of spherical particles, together with an experimentally-informed coarse-grained model to study the behavior of plasmonic linker gels. The simulation results demonstrate how blends of short and long linkers with the same average molecular weight can be chosen to deliberately modulate structure-dependent near- and far-field spectral features of the colloidal gel, while preserving gel mechanical properties. Linker selection can also be used to prepare gel networks with qualitatively different mechano-optical responses. The structural changes occurring under strain shed light on possible origins of experimentally observed red- and blue-shifting of optical extinction of plasmonic nanocomposites under uniaxial extension.

Published: August 2022

We present the synthesis, characterization and radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP) capabilities of thionoisochromanone (TIC), a fungi-derivable thionolactone. TIC is the first reported thionolactone to readily homopolymerize under free radical conditions without the presence of a dormant comonomer or repeated initiation. Even more, the resulting polymer is fully degradable under mild, basic conditions. Computations providing molecular-level insights into the mechanistic and energetic details of polymerization identified a unique S,S,O-orthoester intermediate that leads to a sustained chain-end. This sustained chain-end allowed for the synthesis of a block copolymer of TIC and styrene under entirely free radical conditions without explicit radical control methods such as reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). We also report the statistical copolymerization of ring-retained TIC and styrene, confirmed by elemental analysis and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Computations into the energetic details of copolymerization indicate kinetic drivers for ring-retaining behavior. This work provides the first example of a sustainable feedstock for rROP and provides the field with the first six-membered monomer susceptible to rROP, expanding the monomer scope to aid our fundamental understanding of thionolactone rROP behavior.

Published: August 2022

Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) is a biodegradable polymer produced from renewable raw materials and is widely used in the production of packaging materials. Among important features, oxygen permeability is crucial for “breathing” packaging materials (such as packaging for medical devices sterilized with gaseous ethylene oxide). Recently, poly(butylene succinate-dilinolene succinate) (PBS-DLS) copolymers containing long chains of fatty acids and showing excellent elasticity were synthesized. In this work, bio-based polymer blends of PBS and PBS-DLS copolymer with an aliphatic-aromatic poly(butylene terephthalate-butylene adipate) (PBAT) (Ecoflex) were prepared in order to further improve their oxygen permeability while maintaining mechanical stability. PBS and PBS-DLS copolymer containing 90 wt% of hard segments and 10 wt% of soft segments, respectively, were used for blends preparation with 10 wt% of PBAT. The chemical structure was analyzed using infrared spectroscopy and thermal properties were determined with differential scanning calorimetry. The introduction of PBAT to the blends did not affect their melting temperatures. PBS-based blends were miscible at the molecular level based on single Tg value calculated from Fox equation and uniform fracture surface morphology from scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Importantly, the oxygen permeability of PBS-DLS/PBAT blend was comparable to non-biodegradable high-density polyethylene (HDPE) Tyvek used for medical devices packaging.

Universities around the world have managed to evolve knowledge production from the physical classroom to virtual education due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, the vast majority of students in various educational institutions around the world have changed their learning styles to digital learning education. With the regard of the concept that learner’s attitude and their learning outcomes have interrelated we have a question that how was the students’ attitude developed in the relation of e-learning outcomes. Based on this rational this study focuses on investigating students’ attitude through the online education. In this regard, research objectives were designed that 1) to study online learning and Education 4.0; 2) to determine the needs of digital learning, academic motivation and learning outcomes via e-learning; 3) to analyze students’ attitudes towards online education. The research data were collected through the tools of questionnaire, observation, covering 380 university students as casual informants and sample interviews from 36 students as key informants in the duration of the academic year 2019-2020. With the analysis techniques, the collected data were categorized according to the objective two in terms of typology such as general information of respondents, E-learning necessities and tools, E-learning involvements, students’ attitudes and analyzed by SPSS programs to explore research results systematically. The variables of learning involvement and students individual attitudes were analyzed with crosstab forms to make correlative results. The results of the study indicated that the most students spent 5-12 hours in digital learning, 60% of the respondents have agreed that the E-learning platforms were useful, however, 73.7% of the research informants reported that the learning outcomes were in average. Finally we reached consequence that students’ attitudes, in particular individual approach and diligence were developed during online education. The findings of the research were supported by the Ground Theory and Learning Theories and presented by descriptive methods. The research reliability was tested by the triangulation method in terms of cognitive, effective and behavioral dimensions of the attitudes.
COOPERATION BETWEEN THE HR- AND THE MARKETING DEPARTMENTS

Published: August 2022

The purpose of the work is to identify the main ways of cooperation between the HR-department and the marketing department and to develop recommendations for improving the efficiency of the company, which will be based on such cooperation. We identified the processes and methods of enterprise management that actively use marketing in their own practice. We investigated theoretical approaches and practical directions of definition of ways of cooperation of human resources and marketing departments. These issues focused on increase of economic efficiency of the enterprise from the work with recruiters, personnel, and consumers.

We determined that HR-management and marketing have gone beyond their competencies. The large number of international firms is a clear example of effective cooperation between these two departments. It is important to understand that the brand has a direct impact on both customers and candidates. In this case, there is an urgent need for cooperation between the human resources department and marketers to increase the efficiency of hiring and retaining existing employees.

In today’s world, effective HR-marketing is much more than just attractive job postings or caring about a good work environment. The highest goal of HR-marketing is to increase the attractiveness of the company as an employer. This means that the company intends to positively distinguish itself as a brand from the competition, i.e., HR-marketing is strongly associated with the term branding of employers. Its manifestations are best seen in all activities related to the management of the company’s personnel - from the recruitment and selection stage to the care of employees associated with the company, and the support of high-potential people in the organization. This requires long-term consistent action. However, the benefits of well-established staff marketing heavily outweigh the costs of implementing it.

Introduction: As a result of climate change, increased drought incidence significantly affects the crop yield of rice, Oryza sativa. Given that rice serves as a staple food, adaptation strategies to combat climate change-induced drought are critical. Water retention is regulated by stomata size, stomata density, and the opening and closing of the stomata central pore. Previous studies have identified relevant developmental genes in the Arabidopsis thaliana model system, encoding for epidermal patterning factor (EPFs) and EPF-like (EPFL) signaling peptides, and their orthologs across various plant species. In barley (Hordeum vulgare), genetic manipulation of EPF1 has been shown to reduce stomatal density, resulting in improved drought tolerance. In rice, overexpression of OsEPF1 yields a similar phenotype. The purpose of our study is to develop a proposal for a method to increase drought tolerance of Oryza sativa in an effort to battle climate change.
Methods: It has been shown that CRISPR-mediated editing successfully generated knockouts (KOs) of EPFL9—a positive regulator of stomatal development—in Oryza sativa. As such, we propose to downregulate EPFL9 via CRISPR-Cpfb1 gene editing in Oryza sativa. Our proposal includes the growth of genetically altered and control Oryza sativa under specific conditions, including drought conditions, in order to simulate a natural environment. Following the growth of the plants, we propose conducting tests to determine yield and growth in order to assess drought tolerance.
Discussion: We expect to observe reduced stomatal densities and better drought tolerance in the mutant Oryza sativa samples. This should be observed in increased yield and growth from genetically altered samples. Potential implications of our proposal could include improvements in proto-plants developed in the agricultural sector, as well as providing a foundation for future studies to be conducted on drought tolerance.
Conclusion: Our proposal uniquely addresses the impact of climate change on rice by potentially providing an opportunity to scale-up, generating a drought-tolerant rice plant for comparison with previous prototypes, and secondarily, the elucidation of stomatal development. Our proposal may open further opportunities to address and alter plant resistance to climate change.

Latar belakang Usia lanjut (lansia) merupakan usia yang rentan dengan segala macam penyakit dan menjaga kesehatan sangatlah penting bagi lansia. Pada umumnya pemeriksaan lansia terdiri dari pemeriksaan berat badan, gula darah, tekanan darah, kolesterol, kesehatan jantung, mata, kulit, telinga, gigi, tulang dan lainnya. Menurut WHO pada tahun 2008 tercatat sekitar 972 juta orang (26,4%) penduduk diseluruh dunia terkena hipertensi. Angka ini kemungkinan akan meningkat menjadi 29,2% ditahun 2025, dari 972 juta penderita hipertensi, 333 juta berada di negara maju dan 639 juta sisanya berada di negara sedang berkembang seperti Indonesia. Tujuan adalah memberikan peningkatan pengetahuan lansia tentang hipertensi melalui penyuluhan untuk lansia. Metode yang digunakan dengan deskripsi karakteristik responden dari tingkat pendidikan dan pengetahuan lansi tentang hipertensi. Dengan sasaran lansia usia >61 tahun sebanyak 36 lansia di Dusun Semanding Desa Wonolopo Semarang. Hasil setelah dilakuan penyuluhan tentang hipertensi ditemukan bahwa karakteristik lansia dari tingkat pendidikan paling banyak tamat SD sebesar 8 lansia (22.2%) dan didapatkan pengetahuan lansia tentang hipertensi banyak yang masih kurang sebesar 21 lansia (58.34%). Kesimpulan pentingnya peningkatan pengetahuan tentang Hipertensi bagi lansia dalam meningkatkan derajat kesehatan lansia.

Ibu yang mengalami menopause merasakan perubahan-perubahan fisik dan psikis. Sindroma menopause dialami oleh banyak wanita di seluruh dunia, sekitar 70-80% wanita Eropa, 60% di Amerika, 57% di Malaysia, 18% di Cina, 10% di Jepang dan 10% di Indonesia. Beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi ibu belum siap menerima perubahan pada masa menopause diantaranya adalah pendidikan, pengetahuan yang masih rendah, pekerjaan, sikap, agama, peran bidan, social budaya dan informasi yang masih kurang.Salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan kesiapan ibu dalam menghadapi menopause adalah melakukan perubahan pola hidup dan pola makan yaitu dengan mengkonsumsi zat gizi yang dapat mengurangi gejala menopause serta mencegah masalah yang timbul setelah menopause. Tujuan kegiatan ini dilakukan sebagai upaya untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu tentang gizi seimbang pada masa menopause. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang digunakan berupa penyuluhan Setelah dilakukan pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini, simpulan yang dapat diambil antara lain adalah adanya peningkatan pengetahuan tentang gizi seimbang pada masa menopause. Harapannya adalah supaya ibu menopause bisa menerapkan gaya hidup sehat dengan makan makanan yang bergizi dan melakukan latihan fisik misalnya senam lansia. Dengan melakukan gaya hidup sehat diharapkan kualitas hidup wanita menopause menjadi lebih baik.

Latar belakang Pemeriksaan IVA merupakan pemeriksaan skrining alternatif dari pap smear karena biasanya murah, praktis, sangat mudah untuk dilaksanakan dan peralatan sederhana serta dapat dilakukan oleh tenaga kesehatan selain dokter ginekologi. Pada pemeriksaan ini, pemeriksaan dilakukan dengan cara melihat serviks yang telah diberi asam asetat 3-5% secara inspekulo. Setelah serviks diulas dengan asam asetat, akan terjadi perubahan warna pada serviks yang dapat diamati secara langsung dan dapat dibaca sebagai normal atau abnormal. Dibutuhkan waktu satu sampai dua menit untuk dapat melihat perubahan-perubahan pada jaringan epitel (YKI Cabang Jawa Timur,2014). Tujuan Setelah dilakukan pemeriksaan IVA test diharapkan kelompok sasaran PMSEU sadar akan pentingnya deteksi dini kanker servix dari hasil pemeriksaan yang di dapatkan. Metode Deskriptif yaitu dengan menggambarkan jalannya proses pengabdian masyarakat. Hasil pemeriksaan IVA test dilakukan pada 182 responden di 5 lokasi PMSEU, kemudian didapatkan hasil sejumlah 46 orang dengan hasil IVA positif . Kesimpulan Pemeriksaan IVA test yang dilakukan pada kelompok sasaran PMSEU yang telah diselenggarakan diharapkan mampu menggugah kesadaran kelompok sasaran akan pentingnya kesehatan reproduksi.
