This article is devoted to the methodology of organizing the process of monitoring of distributed information systems. The article considers the general concept of building the process of information security monitoring. Special attention is paid to such disadvantages of distributed systems as problems of system administration, problems of limited scalability of distributed systems and problems of software portability. It was concluded that at present there is no unified approach to eliminate these disadvantages when building a monitoring process. The model of decentralized distributed system for which the methodology of monitoring process organization is developed is given. Three approaches to the organization of monitoring process of distributed information systems are described, namely the organization of monitoring of network activity of information system, the organization of monitoring of host activity of information system and mixed approach. The mixed approach based on monitoring of network and host activity is used in the methodology. The process of prioritization of sources of information security events is considered, which includes the assessment of IS risks, identification of actual IS threats and identification of critical assets of the organization. As a result, a methodology for organizing the process of monitoring distributed information systems is proposed, which consists of four stages: risk calculation, identification of actual threats, prioritization of information security event sources and connection of selected sources to the information security event monitoring system.
“Minorities”, the nation and Europe in the history textbooks of Germany, Spain and Turkey
Authors: Durna Feride
Published: January 2024

A feature of the concept of “minorities” is the invisibility and stigmatization of communities, more so within the idea of the nation. The European Union project stimulated new vistas, and offers challenges to reconcile peoples under a new political, social and economic concept. However, in the midst of crisis and war in Europe, mistrust and hostility are increasing, incited by right-wing populism and nationalism and these aims of the last century are slowly making their way into history textbooks. This article analyses the representation and construction of these complex concepts in eight German, Turkish and Spanish secondary school history textbooks. In times of strengthening nationalism, it is also discussed here whether the representations convey essentialist ideas and imperialistic structures hidden between the lines in school textbooks, or whether they reflect the concept of “minorities” as a component of a pluralistic and hybrid European society. The research is divided into two areas: 1) A quantitative analysis of textbooks: A comparative research will be carried out on the representation of 'minorities' in English, German, Turkish and Spanish history textbooks. The textbook research is temporally limited to the period from the sixteenth until the twenty-first centuries.

Adaptive Parameter Identification for a Class of Neural Mass Models with Application to Ergatic Systems
Authors: Plotnikov S. A. , Fradkov A. L.
Published: January 2024

This paper considers one of the problems that arise in the developing of the ergatic brain-computer interfaces. This technology allows a person to control various mechatronic systems through the "power of thought", i.e. based on the registration of electrical activity of the brain. The problem is the complexity and poor knowledge of the brain. To describe the electrical activity of the brain, various models of neural ensembles are used, one of which is the neural mass model proposed by Jansen and Rit in 1995. To tune the parameters of this model according to real data, it is proposed to use an adaptive parameter identifier. An important condition for the synthesis of an adaptive identifier is that only the system output, which is the potential difference between two points of the head, can be measured. At the beginning, it is assumed that the entire state vector of the neural mass model is available for measurement. An identifier is synthesized to tune the parameters of such a system and its convergence is proved using the Lyapunov function method. Further, the obtained identifier is refined in such a way that it uses only the output of the system. To do this, using the finite difference method, the output derivative of the neural mass model is approximately calculated, which is used to make several replacements of the unknown components of the state vector. It is very difficult to analytically prove the convergence of the obtained adaptive parameter identifier, therefore, the possibility of using it to estimate the parameters of a neural mass model is checked using simulation. The synthesized identifier uses only the system output to tune the parameters, which in the future will allow us to consider real data instead of the system output. Thus, this identifier can be used to tune the parameters of the neural mass model based on real data.
Research of the Possibilities of Using a Rapidly Exploring Random Tree Algorithm in Solving Problems of Movement Planning of Autonomous Robots
Authors: Golubov V. V. , Manko S. V.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of features and evaluation of the prospects for using the RRT method in the problem of motion planning for autonomous robots. It is noted that the expansion of the areas of application of modern robotics is inextricably linked with an increase in the level of functionality and improvement of the designs of the created samples, for which the placement of a manipulator on a mobile platform becomes a typical layout. Based on a review of the literature and generalization of experimental data, it is shown that the use of the RRT method and its modifications opens up the fundamental possibility of developing a universal motion planner for mobile and manipulative robots, including systems with a manipulator on a mobile platform, as well as systems with a redundant or reconfigurable structure. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the effectiveness of the RRT method is largely determined by the declared parameter of the growth factor. A decentralized variant of the counter-growth RRT method is proposed, which makes it possible to plan the movements of autonomous mobile robots in the process of their mutual approach and subsequent docking. The fundamental possibility of automatic docking of autonomous robots in an environment with obstacles is confirmed by the results of a full-scale experiment.
Territorial Configurations of School‐To‐Work Outcomes in Europe
Authors: Cefalo Ruggero , Scandurra Rosario , Kazepov Yuri
Published: January 2024

Comparative research on school-to-work transitions mainly focused on country differences, examining the variation in institutional design and its impact on shaping youth labour market outcomes. The field has been dominated by a sort of methodological nationalism assuming nation states as homogeneous objects of comparison, while the territorial variations in youth transitions among sub-national territories have been less explored, notwithstanding their potential impact on life chances. In this article, we look at the outcomes of transitions in EU regions, comparing regional configurations of school-to-work transitions and their change over time. Is it possible to identify differences among groups of regions? To what extent do these patterns change over time? In order to answer these questions, we construct and analyse a longitudinal and systematic set of indicators that combine regional aggregated outcomes of transitions from education to work and regional contextual traits at the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics level 2 for the period 2007–2019. We perform two cluster analyses to describe regional differences and trends over time. The findings provide novel insights into the characteristics and patterns of an unequal geography of youth opportunities in Europe.
The Role and Development of Popular Science TV Programs During Times of MilitaryActions
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Kravchenko Roksolana
Published: January 2024

The article explores the presence of popular science programs in the Ukrainian television media market, specifically on the television broadcasting of nationwide TV channels in Ukraine. Popular science content is an important aspect of social life, particularly as a means of distraction from news about military actions. Additionally, projects of this content indicate the country's prospects in technological development on the global stage. Television should serve as one of the propagators of scientific ideas. The goal of this research is to characterize the presence of popular science programs on nationwide TV channels. The method used is content analysis of the programming grids of 32 nationwide TV channels. Their television programs, as well as websites and YouTube pages, were examined. Results: Out of the 32 channels, only 5 transmit popular science programs. Among them, 4 channels produce their own content (Ми-Україна, Enter фільм, Піксель TV, 5 канал), while one, Мега, broadcasts mainly foreign-produced programs with a focus on natural sciences. Among the 4 channels with their own popular science content, 3 broadcasting programs of historical nature, and Піксель TV produces a project for children about chemical experiments. Conclusions: These results indicate an under-representation in this niche; the Ukrainian television media market lacks popular science programs. UA:Перший, as a public broadcaster, which should actively develop popular science television in Ukraine according to its status and mandate, has ceased the production of such content. Some channels are developing historical content; however, other scientific fields are almost absent from Ukrainian television. Considering the results of the content analysis, there is a need to create a market for popular science television in Ukraine in line with societal demands.

Published: January 2024

This article discusses a method for assessing the similarity of texts, which is based on the analysis of comparison of sentences from different texts. The advantages of the method are that it takes into account the coverage of the standard sentence by a sentence from the compared text, the general assessment of the informational significance of the words of the standard sentence in the sentence of the compared text, the similarity of the syntactic structures of sentences, the coincidence of semantic meanings and connections. The application of this method is illustrated by the example of solving the problem of finding the similarities between two texts.

Impact of New Technologies and Global Events on TV Social Engagement
Authors:   , Heim Joseph , McHugh Michelle
Published: January 2024

As the media landscape has undergone significant changes, streaming has become a much more prevalent form of television consumption. Viewers faced limited options for entertainment and socialization during COVID-19, fueling a robust roll-out and adoption of streaming technologies in the home. At the onset of television's wide adoption in the early 1950s, there were noticeable changes in American social behaviors. Participation in in-person social groups and political campaigns dipped as Americans stayed home to watch television. The fear of missing out kept people at home, on their couches and tuned in. With the advent of the World Wide Web, DVR, and VOD, the requirement of being home was no longer as great an issue, but the fear of missing out remained a driver in American culture. By the 2020s, social media companies such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and TikTok helped Americans feel connected to one another, ensuring they never feel as if they are missing out. In addition to this constant accessibility to information, technology also helps ensure a more custom viewing experience. Consumers can watch what they want when they want. The evolution of the viewing experience allows for filtered targeted messaging from advertisers to consumers, limiting advertisers' spend and increasing viewers' engagement. This research examines how streaming, social media, and COVID-19 have changed the ways that consumers interact with television. The researcher will explore the evolution of communication technologies, focusing largely on television and the Internet, and their impact on consumer behaviors toward the mediums, as well as each other.
Femicides in Latin American cities
Authors:   , Trejo Bricia  Gonzalez , Michael Yvonne
Published: January 2024

Latin America grapples with high levels of violence and gender-based disparities that impact women's lives significantly. This integrated study synthesizes findings from three separate investigations on femicide and its consequences in the region. The first study delves into the dynamics of femicide rates across age groups in Latin America, utilizing data from 343 cities in 9 countries between 2000 and 2019. The results uncover substantial heterogeneity within and between countries, with females aged 15-29 facing the highest risk. While overall femicide rates may be declining minimally, disparities emerge, indicating increasing rates in certain areas, such as Mexico and in younger women. The study underscores the urgency of comprehending gender dynamics in homicide research, advocating for city-level interventions to address the multifaceted causes of violence against women. The second study explores the relationship between gender inequality and femicide rates in 294 cities across 7 countries from 2014 to 2018. It establishes a significant association between gender inequality and femicide rates, with cities in the highest gender inequality quintile experiencing 29% higher femicide rates. This correlation remains robust even after accounting for population growth, income inequality, and area level poverty proxied by an index of water and sanitation access. The findings highlight the potential of enhancing women's employment, education, healthcare, and political representation to mitigate femicide. The third study investigates the impact of femicides on female life expectancy (LE) at birth in 48 major cities across 9 Latin American countries. Using cause-deleted life tables, it identifies cities with unexpected changes in LE after eliminating femicides. San Salvador and Guatemala City exhibit the most significant shifts. Furthermore, the research unveils a complex relationship between overall violence and LE changes, emphasizing the need for tailored policies addressing gender-based vulnerabilities. Collectively, these studies use a structural lens to a public health problem that too often focuses on individual determinants. Targeted interventions at the city level, alongside efforts to reduce gender inequality, offer promising avenues to tackle these pressing issues and improve the lives of women and girls in the region.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this article is to investigate the species composition, age structure, and economic utilization of forest plantations in the Busk forestry. The practical importance of such research increases in the context of administrative reform and land resource management in newly created communities and announced consolidations of forestry enterprises in 2021. The research used various time-based cartographic materials, which allowed to trace the development of typical forest massifs from the end of the 18th century to the present day. The study was conducted for four time periods. The proposed study was carried out by processing statistical materials of the Busk forestry. Based on this data, cartographic schemes of species composition, age structure, and timber stock were constructed and analyzed by forestry. It was established that the characteristic features of forestry in the region are: uneven forest cover of the studied territory; significant fragmentation of the forest fund in the southern part of the forestry territory; location of large forest massifs in the northwestern part of the forestry; dominance of such tree species as pine, oak, and alder in the forest stands; insignificant increase in forest cover in individual territories due to the creation of pine tree cultures on unproductive lands and active expansion of black alder forests in over-moistened pastures. The division of the forest fund into categories has been studied. It has been established that the largest share of the forest fund of the Busk forestry is occupied by exploitable forests. Protective forests account for 1.5% of the total forest area in the studied region. The forest supply per capita in the Krasne territorial community is on average 0.12 ha/person, while in Busk it is 0.61 ha/person.

Breeding terrorism: an anomie’s anatomy of the terrorism in Indonesia
Authors: Munajat
Published: January 2024

This article investigates the emergence of terrorism in Indonesia through the anomie sociological perspective. The data for this analysis was gathered from various sources, including documents of terrorist attacks in Indonesia from the internet, personal diaries, and interviews with terrorist prisoners. The anomie theory provides a means of analysis to illuminate the understanding of terrorism, its roots, and causes. From the anomie perspective, terrorism is not viewed as a savage group that allows the killing of innocent people nor a political party that wants to destroy and seize the secular government or Western countries. In the Indonesian context, terrorism is just seen as deviant groups or individuals resulted from global capitalism that destroys the equilibrium of the Muslim world. The anomie consists of two distinct forms: the terrorist attacks and the anomic interpretation of the Islamic holy text (Quran and Sunnah). Both conditions result in a threat to the government that they consider as infidel and aligned with the West. The anomie theory provides more promising remedies to abolish terrorism more permanently and to reduce the tensions between the government and the terrorists by proposing social integration and restoring equilibrium in the Muslim world, especially in Indonesia, as a focus for implementing these remedies.
The dynamics of Sunni-Shia integration in Indonesia: a structural-functional perspective
Authors: Zulkifli
Published: January 2024

Much research has been conducted on Sunni-Shia conflicts within the Muslim world. However, there is still limited research on integrating these two denominations. Conflict and integration, in theory, represent two distinct aspects of the same issue. This study aims to elucidate the process of Sunni-Shia integration in Indonesia and the factors contributing to it, employing a structural-functionalist perspective. Additionally, it seeks to assess the potential for such integration. Through intensive library research on offline and online sources, the article uncovers three forms of Sunni-Shia integration: peaceful coexistence, accommodation, and cooperation. These outcomes stem from six interrelated factors: inclusive theology, the role of moderate actors, collective ritual practice, ‘Alid piety, friendship and kinship, and social activity. These factors play important roles in shaping the prospects of Sunni-Shia integration in Indonesia. While the inclusive theology, as the first factor, is normative and may produce normative integration aligned with the prevailing norms, the others are more functional and may elicit functional integration emerging from the functions in the society.

Dijeron que la vida personal y la cotidianidad del autor no le interesaba al arte literario. Dijeron que el nuevo escenario tenía que ser urbano. Dijeron que la heroicidad de ahora es opaca y carece de pasión. Dijeron que había llegado el fin de la historia. Pero, contra la hegemonía del pensamiento único, estamos en un tiempo de diversidad de saberes y de un canon que se construye desde tradiciones propias; un momento de reivindicaciones políticas inéditas que implican la convivencia con la otredad; una ruptura con la modernidad cartesiana que nos lleva a la superación de la dicotomía entre cultura y naturaleza.

Contribuições do modelo KVP para a Educação Ambiental na escola
Authors: Colombo Milena Carpi , Caldeira Ana Maria de Andrade
Published: January 2024

Frente à crescente importância da Educação Ambiental no contexto atual, cada vez mais estudos com foco na difusão de práticas ambientais vêm sendo realizados com o propósito de repensar a relação homem-natureza e minimizar futuros desgastes ambientais. A escola, por se tratar de um ambiente que também é responsável pela formação cidadã dos alunos, é um espaço com grande potencial para se trabalhar com determinadas atividades. Se tratando de um recorte de uma pesquisa de mestrado maior, o presente artigo buscou discutir as relações que envolvem a inserção da Educação Ambiental no ambiente escolar, como vantagens, obstáculos e possibilidades de trabalho. Além disso, buscou-se, também, socializar os dados encontrados na literatura em consonância com o modelo KVP, que aborda o papel da interrelação entre conhecimentos (K), valores (V) e práticas sociais (P) para que o ser humano seja capaz de formar suas concepções sobre algo, a fim de orientar professores e pesquisadores no momento de elaboração de suas aulas. Ainda, com relação a possíveis estudos futuros, espera-se contribuir para a ampliação dessa área de estudo com as orientações elaboradas com base na síntese das discussões.
Educação ambiental crítica e metodologias participativas na educação não formal: perspectivas da produção científica brasileira no período de 2010 a 2021
Authors: Reis Fabiana de Arruda Resende , Oliveira Hudson Cássio Gomes de , Pinho Leandro Garcia , Timoteo Geraldo Marcio
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo se propõe a analisar a produção científica brasileira do período de 2011 a 2021 acerca da educação ambiental crítica e o desenvolvimento de metodologias participativas no âmbito da educação não formal, em contraste com as conjunturas socioeconômicas e políticas de diferentes governos. A análise das ações educativas considerou a educação não formal com base na educação popular, na educação ambiental crítica, transformadora e emancipatória. Foram mapeadas as teses de doutorado e dissertações de mestrado no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), a partir do levantamento de trabalhos que continham palavras-chave combinadas: educação ambiental crítica, metodologias participativas, educação popular, transformação, licenciamento ambiental federal e projetos de educação ambiental. De 199 trabalhos de pesquisa mapeados, 32 foram selecionados por apresentarem o recorte inerente ao tema proposto, a fim de subsidiar as análises de conjuntura do período, o panorama das produções por região, gênero, instituição de ensino, programa de pós-graduação e orientadores. Além disso, foram levantados dados do Sistema Integrado de Planejamento e Orçamento do Governo Federal (SIOP) para o financiamento de pesquisas, que indicam a redução de recursos de forma simultânea às mudanças e transformações preconizadas por governos que seguem a agenda do capitalismo neoliberal, o que leva à hipótese de relação com transformações no campo da educação ambiental em âmbito não formal, marcada pelo aumento de produção científica com metodologias críticas e participativas, com teor de resistência e de fortalecimento de comunidades locais e de grupos sociais fragilizados.
Câmaras de eco e filtros-bolha no contexto da gestão algorítimica da atenção
Authors: Menezes Vera Lúcia Moraes Araujo , Araújo Júnior João da Silva , Santos Lívia Karoline Pinheiro Mendonça dos
Published: January 2024

A popularização das tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação (TDIC) (Ribeiro, 2009; Snyder, 2010; Lemke, 2010), somada às recentes transformações decorrentes dos avanços no campo das inteligências artificiais (IA), representou mudanças importantes no modo como lemos, escrevemos, interagimos e nos informamos. Some-se a esse cenário o chamado processo de gestão algorítmica da atenção, que, segundo Bentes (2019), refere-se ao uso de algoritmos para direcionar e capturar a atenção das pessoas, determinando o que é mostrado aos indivíduos em plataformas digitais, como redes sociais, com base no engajamento desses usuários. Tais transformações se refletem, em certa medida, na preocupação, cada vez mais evidente, em pautar o uso das TDIC nos documentos formativos que estabelecem competências e objetivos de aprendizagem no ensino médio, a exemplo da Base Nacional Comum Curricular do Ensino Médio (BNCCEM). No texto do citado documento formativo, é notório o destaque dado ao uso de TDIC mediadas pela internet, o que se faz ver, por exemplo, no prognóstico de que grande parte das futuras profissões envolverá, direta ou indiretamente, computação e tecnologias digitais (Brasil, 2018). Nesse contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo discutir o tratamento dado pela BNCCEM na área de Linguagens e suas Tecnologias do componente de Língua Portuguesa aos mais recentes impactos das TDIC na comunicação, em especial a dois importantes mecanismos decorrentes do uso de inteligências artificiais (IA) pelas plataformas de redes sociais: as câmaras de eco, fenômeno estudado por Sunstein (2007); e os filtros-bolha, mecanismo estudado por Pariser (2012). Para viabilizar o objetivo proposto, fizemos uma análise exploratório-descritiva das competências e habilidades específicas do componente de Língua Portuguesa que demandam Letramento Digital por parte dos sujeitos envolvidos no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Uma leitura crítica das competências à luz do atual cenário tecnológico e dos mecanismos decorrentes da atuação dos algoritmos nos permite afirmar a necessidade de que o debate em torno do Letramento Digital se amplie no sentido de compreender os impactos da gestão algorítmica da atenção nos processos de comunicação e interação, considerando, sobretudo, os riscos que esses mecanismos representam ao debate público e à democracia ao promoverem e/ou exacerbarem a formação de falsos consensos, de polarizações artificiais e de discursos de ódio.

Authors: Zaręba Michał
Published: January 2024

The primary purpose of this article is the analysis of the evolution of bilateral relations between the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV) and the Russian Federation in the field of military cooperation. It gives answers to following research questions: 1) what is the role of defence collaboration in bilateral ties, 2) what are the most essential elements of Russia-Vietnam military relations, 3) what are the common reasons/ incentives for developing links regarding arms trade, 4) do the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014 and invasion of Ukraine in 2022 change goals of Vietnamese politics towards Moscow, 5) How do Chinese and US factor affect military cooperation between Russia and Vietnam? The theses of this paper assume that: 1) the government in Hanoi maintains friendly relations with Moscow on the political level in the face of the conflict in Ukraine and continues military cooperation, however Russian arms exports to Vietnam has declined, 2) Vietnam diversifies weapon trade partners expanding cooperation with Israel, Belarus, US and South Korea, but Russia still remains crucial arms importer for Hanoi.

The analysis is focused mainly on the situation from 2002 to the present, and intends to examine the evolution of military cooperation between Hanoi and Moscow after the signing of the Declaration on Strategic Partnership. The article includes a short overview of Russia-Vietnam relations emphasizing its strong historical background. Paper is also focused on important arms trade contracts, agreements on military cooperation, includes statistics published by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) to show the scale of collaboration, and points out major challenges for future cooperation.

The challenges and threats from cyber security are increasing every day in the world. All this has a significant impact on international relations. When we are dealing with such a revolutionary development of technology as in the 21st century, it is already necessary for all states to have high-standard cyber security systems. This is not an easy issue to solve, because cyber security requires quite a lot of finances, human resources, and also specially trained professionals. Threats emanating from cyberspace need a proper response, in this case we have no choice, the whole world is facing danger. Cybercrime and the damage caused by it are increasing year by year. Also, all this affects a person psychologically and leaves a feeling of insecurity. The biggest problem is that aggressive states, terrorist organizations, non-state groups, large corporations, etc. are mostly involved in this virtual war (as in the real one). As an example, we can cite such an aggressor state as Russia, which carries out major cyber attacks against Ukraine, Georgia and other states whose cyber security systems are less protected. The transition of political, military, social or criminal processes into cyberspace has made cyber security one of the main segments of state security. Countries with developed cyber-offensive potential, primarily Russia, successfully use cyberspace both during war and conflict, as well as in peacetime, to gain geopolitical advantage. This article discusses the challenges and threats associated with the development of modern cyber and information technologies, analyzes the threats associated with the new information security capabilities of modern states, including cybersecurity. The aim of the paper is to present the role of cyber security in the Russia-Ukraine war and the threats arising from it. The following methods are used in the paper: methods of historical-descriptive, policy research and comparative analysis. The paper uses the theories of balance of power and securitization.
Łódź – miasto kurczące się. Przyczyny i skutki depopulacji, możliwości przeciwdziałań

W Łodzi od końca lat 80. następuje szybki ubytek ludności, najszybszy w porównaniu z dziesięcioma największymi miastami Polski. W latach 1985–2020 wyniósł on przeszło 20%, a w 2021 r. pod względem wielkości populacji Łódź uplasowała się dopiero na czwartym miejscu w Polsce. W największym stopniu przyczynił się do tego ubytek naturalny, z bardzo niskim poziomem urodzeń i wysokim zgonów, powodujący coroczny spadek liczby ludności rzędu 5–7 tys. osób. Nie bez znaczenia było szybkie starzenie się łodzian. W mniejszym stopniu wpłynęło na to ujemne saldo ruchu migracyjnego. Procesy te są wynikiem przemian ustrojowo-gospodarczych Polski, które zostały zapoczątkowane w 1989 r. i doprowadziły w Łodzi do upadku przemysłu włókienniczego, będącego filarem rozwoju miasta od XIX w.
Władze samorządowe Łodzi, dostrzegając te problemy, tworzą rozmaite projekty służące powstrzymaniu kurczenia się miasta i budowaniu jego prężności. W zakresie miejskiej polityki demograficznej najważniejszy jest program „Młodzi w Łodzi”, zapewniający praktyki i staże, płatne staże wakacyjne, programy stypendialne, bezpłatne szkolenia, wizyty w firmach oraz karty rabatowe dla osób młodych. Z kolei miejskim programem „In vitro dla Łodzi” miasto od wielu lat wspiera pary mające problem z poczęciem dziecka.
Na poprawę sytuacji demograficznej mogą mieć wpływ migracje związane z przyjazdami pracowników z Ukrainy oraz z napływem uchodźców z tego kraju, mającym miejsce po wybuchu wojny, z których część prawdopodobnie osiądzie w mieście na stałe. W okresie od marca do maja 2022 r. dzięki przybywającym Ukraińcom liczba ludności Łodzi wzrastała w granicach 9–11% ogólnego zaludnienia.

Background: Water shortage is becoming severe in many rice growing areas in the world. Conventional method of irrigation, which not only consumes huge water, but also causes severe water and nutrient losses under anaerobic condition. Introduction of aerobic rice, growing high yielding rice in non-puddled and non-flooded aerobic soil with the support of external inputs like supplementary irrigation, manures and fertilizers can reduced water use and increase rice production. Methods: Study on different levels of drip irrigation and fertigation on physiological characters and yield of aerobic rice was conducted during summer 2022 and 2023 at research farm of wetland in Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with thirteen treatments, replicated thrice. Result: The findings revealed that drip fertigation @ 100% PE up to 30 DAS+150% PE up to 60 DAS+200% PE up to 90 DAS with 125% RDF (25% through NF+75% through WSF) resulted significantly higher leaf area index (5.84 and 5.95), chlorophyll index (SPAD) (41.5 and 42.3) and grain yield (4315.9 and 4446.1 kg ha-1) respectively than all other treatments during both summer 2022 and 2023. However, significantly lower leaf area index (2.70 and 2.91), chlorophyll content (31.9 and 32.2) and yield (2301.0 and 2364.8 kg ha-1) observed with fertigation at 50% PE up to 30 DAS+100% PE up to 60 DAS+150% PE up to 90 DAS with 75% RDF (75% through NF+25% through WSF), respectively in summer 2022 and 2023.

Background: Jackfruit seeds have been studied in the pharmaceutical industry, one way of exploiting the potential of this ingredient could be as a protein source in the elaboration of fish food. Jackfruit seeds were subjected to different processes to obtain meals to be added to the diet of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The effects of this addition on growth, elimination of antinutritional factors, and repercussion on the health of tilapia was evaluated. Methods: For the bioassay of the productive yield, three experimental diets were prepared, consisting of a control diet of fishmeal and four treatments: raw jackfruit seeds (RJS), hulled jackfruit seeds (HJS), extruded jackfruit seeds (EJS) and hulled and extruded jackfruit seeds (HEJS). For the growth study, 1600-L experimental units were used. Three replicates per treatment were used, initial weight of tilapias was of 1.8±0.2 g. At the end of the feeding study, a blood sample was taken from the caudal vein, using a hypodermic syringe and EDTA as anticoagulant for the hematology (hemoglobin/hematocrit). Result: Significant differences among treatments using jackfruit seeds, subjected to hulling and extrusion (CEJS) processes, were observed in weight gain (24.3±1.1 g), whereas blood parameters, the red blood cells (RBC) count and the hematocrit (Hct) were significantly higher in the jackfruit seeds subjected to only one treatment (39.8±6.49) respect to the control diet (27.4±3.18). Regarding the MCH and MCHC variables, lower values were observed with the diets using EDJS, showing a significant diminution in the RBC concentration (13.2±2.5) compared to the control diet (19.3±4.65). The processes used for the jackfruit seeds allowed formulating diets with a higher protein quality, which resulted in an increment in weight gain, without observing any effect on the health indicators and nutritional status of fish.

Background: The increasing demand for food and feed necessitates the adoption of suitable crop production practices to enhance production while ensuring sustainability and conservation of scarce natural resources under the harsh environmental conditions in arid and semiarid regions. The mixed cropping of cereals and legumes is a critical component in sustainable agricultural system with improved forage yield. In addition, forage production with improved water use efficiency is vital in arid regions with limited irrigation water resources. The study investigated the combined effect of cereal-legume (barley-alfalfa) mixed cropping and deficit irrigation on the forage growth, dry matter yield and water productivity. Methods: The experiment was conducted at the KISR Station for Research and Innovation, Kuwait. Barley was mixed cropped with alfalfa in three different seed rate combinations (1:3, 1:1, 3:1) in addition to the sole cropping of component crops under three different irrigation regimes, corresponding to full irrigation (100% ET0) and two deficit irrigation (75% and 50% ET0 of full irrigation) for two growing seasons (2017-2018 and 2018-2019). Result: The barley-alfalfa mixed cropping under deficit irrigation enhanced water productivity and dry matter yield under arid environmental conditions. The plant height, number of tillers per meter square, number of nodes, dry matter yield and water productivity were significantly affected by irrigation application rates. The mixed cropping of barley and alfalfa in 1:1 followed by 1:3 seed rate ratio and sole cropping of alfalfa under 75% irrigation revealed better performance in terms of dry matter yield and water productivity.
