Authors: Kapitonova E.A.
Published: March 2022

The article presents comparative results of production tests of zeolite-containing feed additives based on tripolite. The introduction of various additives in mixed feed as well as the resulting products quality is accompanied by zootechnical and veterinary-sanitary control. According to the data of the slaughter and deep processing shop, the best meat indices were obtained from poultry of the 2nd experimental group (poultry house No. 110). In general, the introduction of new zeolite-containing additives “Belasorb” and “MeKaSorb” into the broiler chickens diets in the norm of 2.0% of mixed feed contributes to the development of meat qualities and an increase in the 1st grade carcasses yield – by 12.9-14.7 p.p., the weight fraction of the breast – by 1.2-1.3 p.p. and of the thigh – by 0.2-0.3 p.p., the offal set yield – by 12.7-14.7% of the actual weight, an increase in the yield of muscle – by 0.78-0.99 p.p. and of pulp – by 0.59-0.77 p.p. The dietary properties of meat in the experimental groups increased – by 3.5-4.5%.

Published: March 2022

Bovine nodular dermatitis (Bovine lumpy skin disease) is a transmissible disease of cattle (Bos indicus and B. taurus) and Asian water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis), that has been classified as a notifiable disease by the World Organization for Animal Health. Bovine lumpy skin disease virus belongs to the Poxviridae family. The poxviridae family can be divided into 2 subfamilies: Chordopoxviridae, which infects vertebrates, and Entopoxviridae, which infects insects. The causative agent of lumpy skin disease belongs to the subfamily Chordopoxviridae, the genus capripoxvirus, that also includes the causative agent of sheep and goat pox virus [1,2]. The genomes of goat and sheep pox viruses are very similar to the genome of bovine lumpy dermatitis virus. They have about 97% nucleotide identity. All genes for sheep pox and goat pox viruses are evident in bovine lumpy disease. The work was carried out using bioinformative and molecular genetic research methods. We have developed a technique for detecting capripoxvirus DNA by the method of isothermal loop amplification of the p32 / ld121 gene region under conditions of 30-40 min. amplification at 60 ° C. The developed technique is sensitive (analytical sensitivity corresponds to the activity of the virus 2 lg TCID50 / ml), specific and reproducible, and the developed primers do not hybridize with heterologous DNA templates.

EFFICIENCY OF DIFFERENT MODES OF USING DONORS IN OBTAINING CATTLE EMBRYOS IN VITRO IN THE SYSTEM OF TRANSVAGINAL ASPIRATION OF OOCYTES (TAO)
Authors: Golubets L.V.
Published: March 2022

In the present paper the results are given of studies on the effectiveness of various TAO modes in obtaining embryos in culture in vitro. Follicle puncture was performed two and four times a month with a week break after aspiration, four and eight times a month without interruption, and also strictly regularly every three and seven days. As the analysis of the obtained results shows, performing the aspiration procedure strictly every seven days reduced the number of aspirated follicles in comparison with other donor groups by 4.2-12.8%, but at the same time increased the total oocyte yield by 7.9-16.1 pp. The yield of oocytes suitable for cultivation was 5.5-13.5 pp higher when performing aspiration once every other week (twice a month) and amounted to 84.9%. The yield of embryos from the number of fertilized eggs was higher when aspirated twice a week every other week (four times a month with a weekly break) and amounted to 32.5% versus 20.0 -25.0% in other groups of animals.

Published: March 2022

Prediction provides discipline and pragmatic importance to empirical research. The design with the predictive probability approach provides an excellent alternative for conducting multi-stage phase II trials; it is efficient and flexible and possesses desirable statistical properties. . In this paper we consider the Bayesian predictive procedures within the experimental design, for this, we define indices of satisfaction related to a test as a decreasing function of the p-value and satisfaction is higher than the null hypothesis is rejected wider. This design possesses good frequentist properties and allows early termination of the trial.  We treated our applications by simulation and real data in experimental planning and sequential designs with binary outcomes.

Published: March 2022

Let $G$ be a group with identity $e$, $R$ a $G$-graded commutative ring with unity $1$ and $M$ a $G$-graded $R$-module. In this article, we unify the concepts of graded prime ideals and graded primary ideals into a new concept, namely, graded $\delta$-primary ideals. Also, we unify the concepts of graded $2$-absorbing ideals and graded $2$-absorbing primary ideals into a new concept, namely, graded $2$-absorbing $\delta$-primary ideals. A number of results about graded prime, graded primary, graded $2$-absorbing and graded $2$-absorbing primary ideals are extended into these new structures. Finally, we extend the concept of graded $\delta$-primary ideals into graded $\delta$-primary submodules. A number of results about graded prime, graded primary submodules are extended into this new structure.

For a connected simple graph $ G $ with $ A_{\alpha} $ eigenvalues $ \rho_{1}\geq\rho_{2}\geq\dots\geq\rho_{n} $ and a real number $\beta $, let $ S_{\beta}^{\alpha}(G) =\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\rho_{i}^{\beta}$ be the sum of the $ \beta^{th} $ powers of the $ A_{\alpha} $ eigenvalues of graph $ G $. In this paper, we obtain various bounds for the graph invariant $ S_{\beta}^{\alpha}(G) $ in terms of different graph parameters. As a consequence, we obtain the bounds for the quantity $ IE^{A_{\alpha}}(G)= S_{\frac{1}{2}}^{\alpha}(G),$ the $ A_{\alpha} $ energy-like invariant of the graph $ G .$

Authors: Ashilova M. S. , Begalinov A. S. , Begalinova K. K.
Published: March 2022

This article is about a new round of the global crisis in higher education, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purpose of the research is to conduct a systematic analysis of modern foreign literature on neoliberalismin the educational sphere and to identify the factors of influence of neoliberal concepts on the sphere of higher education during a pandemic.

The methodology of this study was a systematic analysis of foreign scientific research literature devoted to the issues of neoliberalism, axiological problems of higher education and globalization. Were studied 20sources, including the work of leading foreign scientists-philosophers M. Apple, A. Giroud, S. McCloskey and others. The works selected for the study cover the time period from 2000 to the present day.

Originality / value of the research. In the course of the analysis of the literature, the factors that influenced the quality and eff ectiveness of higher education are considered, and the prospects for postformeducation in the future are presented. Separately considered is such a direction as neoliberalism, which is the ideology of globalization, the global agenda. The opinion is substantiated that the pandemic did not create problems in the field of higher education, but only exacerbated those that already existed. The article provides an overview of the opinions of foreign scientists, presents their strategies for overcoming the global higher education crisis associated with both the pandemic and the neoliberal (market) approach to education.

Findings. The neoliberal model of education, based on fi erce competition, individualism and free trade, failed in the era of the pandemic. It seems that the future prospects for the development of higher education in the world will be revised towards reducing the influence of neoliberalism and the market, strengthening state control and financing in this area, humanizing, humanitarianization, fundamentalizing and greening the sphere of higher education.

Published: March 2022

Este artículo pretende conocer cómo cambiaron los patrones publicitarios en la televisión en España durante el confinamiento. Así, el objetivo principal es conocer qué tipos de anuncios se emitieron en España durante el confinamiento en comparación con las semanas previas, posteriores y con el mismo periodo del año anterior. Para ello, se realizó un estudio de los spots emitidos en las dos principales cadenas de televisión comerciales en España, Antena 3 y Telecinco, para lo que se extrajeron los datos a través de la aplicación Instar Analytics de Kantar Media, la empresa que mide la audimetría en España. Se analizó un total de 191,738 anuncios, de los que 2,107 fueron diferentes y el resto repeticiones. A modo de conclusión, la emisión de anuncios durante el confinamiento replicó las pautas de consumo del momento en lugar de intentar contrarrestarlas: aquellas industrias que pudieron continuar su actividad ganaron peso en detrimento de la publicidad de aquellas cuya actividad se paralizó en mayor medida.
La (parcialmente exitosa) tentativa de reconocimiento del matrimonio humanista en Inglaterra y Gales por la vía jurisprudencial»
Authors: Polo Sabau Jose Ramon
Published: March 2022

En este trabajo se estudia el contenido y las principales consecuencias de la reciente sentencia de la High Court de 31 de julio de 2020, en la que se ha declarado que la falta de un reconocimiento del matrimonio humanista –y por extensión de los matrimonios de creencia en general– en Inglaterra y Gales, equivalente al que ya existe respecto de los matrimonios religiosos, resulta discriminatoria y contraria a lo estipulado en los artículos 9 y 14 del Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos, aunque al mismo tiempo se ha considerado que la existencia actual de un proceso oficial de revisión de cara a una necesaria más amplia reforma del sistema matrimonial permite justificar, al menos momentáneamente, la inacción del Gobierno ante esa discriminación en espera de la culminación de ese proceso.
Classification of Pointillist paintings using colour and texture features
Authors: Georgoulaki Kristina
Published: March 2022

Fine art paintings classification based on artistic style is a field of growing interest. Pointillist style is one of the most easily recognized painting styles by humans, due to its characteristic tiny detached paintbrushes of pure colour. In this paper automatic discrimination of artworks belonging to the style of Pointillism is investigated. The opposite styles considered are Cubism, Purism, Naïve art and Impressionism. Several colour and texture features are considered and a feature selection procedure is employed to reveal the most relevant ones to pointillist movement. Binary classification is performed, both in supervised and unsupervised mode, to assess the features’ discriminative ability. A small number of selected features is shown, by simulations results, to be quite powerful predictors resulting in a classification accuracy of 94% for a SVM classifier, 93.5% for a KNN classifier and 87% for a k-means classifier.
Choroidal caverns in a patient with glaucoma (case study)
Authors: Kurysheva N. I. , Pererva O. A. , Kim V. Yu. , Kim V. E.
Published: March 2022

The article describes a clinical case of the formation of a choroidal cavern (CC) in a patient with glaucoma. CC are associated with degenerative diseases of the retina, which is likely associated with dysfunction of the choriocapillaries and impaired retinal supply. Most often, СС are the outcome of pachychoroidal conditions and age-related macular degeneration. Patient D., 63 years old, with previously diagnosed primary open-angled glaucoma in the right eye, complained of a gradual decrease in visual acuity in that eye for several years. According to the examination, the cause of vision acuity decrease was determined as partial atrophy of the retinal layers associated with CC in the superior nasal part of the perifovea and fovea. Presumably, based on signs of a pachychoroidal state in both eyes of the patient, the formed CC is the outcome of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy: focal thickening of the choroid, vasodilatation of the Haller's layer, thinning of the choriocapillaris layer, the presence of pachychoroidal pigment epitheliopathy in the left eye. CC is the marker of choriocapillary blood flow deficiency, which is an unfavorable prognostic factor for the development of glaucoma — proved by glaucoma optic neuropathy being more advanced in the eye with CC compared to the contralateral eye.

Published: March 2022

The study on feeding frequency of nestlings of the Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica rustica) was carried out in El-Bouni (36Â°51â11.36"N; 07Â°44â55.76"E), located in the south of the wilaya of Annaba. We used a camera attached to the nests, and we were able to record the daily feeding rate of breeding pairs of Barn Swallows in feeding their offsprings. We have observed that the parental effort is shared between feeding and sanitation, with moments of rest. The monitoring of the average daily feeding rate reveals that overall, the activity is more intense at noon, and this is explained by the abundance of flies during this time of day, and resume a little towards the end of the afternoon, due to the presence of aphids at the end of the day. The feeding frequency is according to the age of nestlings. This explains the fact that they are quickly satiated at noon to ask again at the end of the day, unlike when they are older, where they are in demand for more food, which is normal with their physiological development.

Authors: Debnath Debanjana , Mohapatra Chinmayee , Routray Snehasish , Goldar Suraj
Published: March 2022

The discovery of antibiotic to combat bacterial infections, has been a lifesaving discovery. But, gradually due to more dependency and continuous use of antibiotics, instead of becoming a boon, it gradually tends more towards the negative aspect of development of antibiotic resistance. Eventually, the bacteria started developing resistance to the antibiotics. This has opened the door for researchers to learn more about how antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) evolve and lead to antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The present review focused on the use of two major antibiotics which are widely used now a days (Streptomycin and Oxytetracycline) emphasizing more on the mechanism of development of resistance in the bacteria and their impact on antibiotic resistance. Researchers are also trying continuously to develop some alternative antimicrobial drugs which will have minimum risk of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance is a risk that must be considered; else, a bleak future awaits

Published: March 2022

Effluent Treatment Plant Sludge (ETPS) from pulp and paper mill is produced in larger quantities and its disposal has the major problem faced by the industries. The conversion of paper mill sludge into hydrochar through the process of Hydro Thermal Carbonization (HTC) has wider opportunities in agriculture. This study explored the optimization processes which influence the preparation of hydrochar from ETPS through the approaches of Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The optimized temperature and time were 220 Â°C and 4 hours, respectively for hydrochar production based on higher carbon and nitrogen content. The hydrochar and ETPS was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) surface area and Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) for its structural morphology. Based on the optimized parameters, the hydrochar was produced and used in the pot culture experiment to study the impact of the hydrochar on bhendi (Abelmoschus esculentus) crop growth. Different concentrations of hydrochar were applied as basal in the pot. The treatment with 4% hydrochar germinated first show the good shoot and root length and 11% increase in germination percentage and 22% increase in vigour index when compared with control due to its higher nutritives which is on par with the results of 5% hydrochar.

The purpose of this study was to compare between the effect of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) and diclofenac phonophoresis (PH) on pain intensity, threshold and neck functional abilities in patients with myofascial trigger points (MTrps) of upper fibers of trapezius. Methodology: Forty five patients of both genders aged from 18- 30 years old with MTrps of upper fibers of trapezius, were assigned randomly and equally into 3 groups: Group A: consisted of 15 patients received rESWT on upper fibers of trapezius in addition to conventional physical therapy treatment. Group B: consisted of 15 patients received PH of diclofenac sodium, in addition to conventional physical therapy treatment. Group C: consisted of 15 patients received the conventional physical therapy treatment only. Results: There was no significance difference between groups pre-treatment in all measured variables; while post-treatment measured values revealed that there was significance improvement in all measured variables in shockwave group at the expense of Diclofenac PH and control groups.

Background: Standing plantar pressure measurement can help in tracing the correlation between plantar pressure distribution and lower-extremity posture, altogether with its relationship with BMI in children. The goal of this study is to figure out if BMI affects peak and average plantar pressure distribution in children when standing or not. Study Design: The current study is a primary, observational, cross-sectional one conducted in the Egyptian elementary schools in Talhka City, Dakahlia Governorate. Subjects & Methods: Ninety children; 47 girls and 43 boys with ages ranging between 6 to 12 years old were engaged in this study. The BMI of the study group highlighted the idea that 40% of the children were of normal weight (36 participants), 16.7% were overweight (15 participants), (7.8%) were obese (7 participants), and 35.6% were underweight (32 participants). All statistical measures were carried out using the statistical program for social sciences (SPSS) with version 22 for Windows (IBM SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). Results: The current research suggests that there was substantial variance in both peak and average plantar pressure of both the right and left feet when standing in various cases with a spectrum of BMIs.

Hypogene mineralization in porphyry Cu deposits is typically associated with crustal thickening and rapid exhumation, whereas supergene enrichment requires slow exhumation to allow sufficient time for leaching and downward transport of Cu before it is lost to surface erosion. Therefore, spatial and temporal patterns of exhumation within a metallogenic belt can highlight favorable locations for hypogene mineralization, supergene enrichment, and preservation. Here, we determine average pluton exhumation rates along an ~730-km segment of the middle Eocene-early Oligocene metallogenic belt in northern Chile (17.8°–24.2°S). By combining zircon U-Pb geochronology with Al-in-hornblende geobarometry, we pinpoint the time and depth at which each pluton was emplaced and use the age of overlying cover units or supergene minerals to date its arrival at the surface (or near-surface) environment.

Uranium-lead zircon ages for 49 samples from plutons and porphyries range from Carboniferous to Eocene (~314–35 Ma). Al-in-hornblende emplacement depths for 19 plutons are ~4–7 km, with one Carboniferous pluton emplaced at ~12 km. Two phases of net exhumation are identified: early Permian-Middle Triassic and middle Eocene-late Oligocene, with an intervening period of net burial. The highest exhumation rates (>0.30 km/m.y.) derive from the second phase, coeval with the Incaic orogeny and the main phase of hypogene mineralization. Present-day preservation of plutons and porphyry Cu deposits required low post-Oligocene average exhumation rates of <~0.01 km/m.y.—favorable for the development of many world-class supergene blankets. However, spatial variability in exhumation and burial across the belt led to poor conditions for supergene development locally: enrichment was hampered in some places by rapid exhumation after hypogene mineralization (e.g., ≥~4 km at El Abra), by burial beneath significant cover (e.g., Ministro Hales, Queen Elizabeth), or, in the Inti region of northernmost Chile, by a combination of the two.

A nursery experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of saline water irrigation on the cuttings of Bambusa vulgaris var. vulgaris Schrad. and the changes in soil properties and soil microbial population was studied during the year 2009-10. The experiment was laid out in CRD. Ten treatments of saline water were prepared with EC of 0.20 dSm-1 to 4.0 dSm-1 by adding salts viz. CaCl2, MgSO4, NaHCO3 and NaCl in the ratio of 4:2:1:1 respectively. The highest sprouting percentage was found in irrigation water with the least EC (0.20 dSm-1) which was on par with treatments up to EC of 1.0 dSm-1. A decrease in sprouting percentage was found with the increase in EC. No sprouting under 3.0 dSm-1 and 4.0 dSm-1 was observed. In soil properties, an increase in soil EC and a non significant change in soil pH were found. The soil organic carbon and available nitrogen content decreased in treatments with the lower EC up to 1.0 dSm-1 while it increased in treatments with EC above 1.25 dSm-1. Available phosphorus recorded a non significant difference. Available potassium was found to increase with increasing saline treatments. A general decline in the population of fungi, actinomycetes and bacteria with the increase in EC levels was observed. Thus, for the successful vegetative propagation of Bambusa vulgaris the irrigation water should have an EC level up to 1.0 dSm-1.

Authors: Domingos Alexandra , Sarmento Manuela
Published: March 2022

Over the past few decades, higher education in accounting has been criticized for its focus on developing technical competences at the expense of general competences. The objective of this study is to analyze the general competences developed by the final-year students of accounting courses at Portuguese public polytechnics and to compare them with the most evident ones identified through a literature review for the current accounting profession. The study adopts a quantitative approach, carried out through a survey of 137 final-year students in the 2019/2020 academic year and using the techniques of descriptive and multivariate statistics. Among the main results, it was found that the ability to use information and communication technologies and lifelong learning were the most developed general competences. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the new practices developed through distance learning facilitated the development of technological competences, producing new reflections for improving the training of accountants.

The purpose of this scientific article is to show what competitor data analytics can do with machine learning and neural networks. In this study, we analyzed data on potential partners of the Department of Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA) of the USA and obtained a trained algorithm that can help in making decisions based on keywords, which can minimize reputational risks. The published dataset of the Department of Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA) of the USA was selected for analysis of the initial data, which displayed the results of the screening of potential partners along with a text justification. This is the reason why we used Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) instead of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Neural networks are a very important part of machine learning. As a result, we have developed a trained machine learning model for recommending the best partners, that is, more proven partners, both professional and reputable. In addition, the developed machine learning model does not allow working with an organization of bad partners who could act in bad faith and carry reputational risks.

Цель этой научной статьи показать, на что способна конкурентная разведка и анализ данных с помощью машинного обучения и нейронных сетей. В данном исследовании мы проанализировали данные о потенциальных партнерах Управления слушаний и апелляций Министерства обороны США (ДОХА) и получили обученный алгоритм, который может помочь в принятии решений на основе ключевых слов и который позволяет минимизировать репутационные риски. В качестве анализа исходных данных был выбран опубликованный набор данных Управления слушаний и апелляций Министерства обороны США (ДОХА), в котором наряду с текстовым обоснованиембыли отображены результаты скрининга потенциальных партнеров. Именно по этой причине мы использовали Рекуррентную нейронную сеть (RNN) вместо Сверточной нейронной сети (CNN). Нейронные сети -очень важная часть машинного обучения. В результате мы разработали обученную модель машинного обучения для рекомендации лучших партнеров, то есть более проверенных партнеров, как профессиональных, так и авторитетных. Кроме того, разработанная модель машинного обучения не позволяет работать организациям с неблагоприятными партнерами, которые могут действовать недобросовестно и нести репутационные риски.

Производительность многих организаций зависит от их способности эффективно использовать свои системы ИТ-услуг. Это подразумевает необходимость оптимизации отношений между поставщиком ИТ-услуг и сотрудниками организации. Для управления услугами используются так называемые ITSM-системы. Но выбрать из существующих или разработать новую систему —это только «верхушка айсберга». Успешно внедрить систему и сделать так, чтобы ейпользовались —однаиз ключевых задач и важнейшее условиежизни самой системы.В данном исследовании показано, как процесс внедрения системы ИТ-услуг «Asista» одной из аутсорсинговых компаний Казахстана анализируется и модернизируется на основе расчетов эффективности. Расчеты произведены посредством применения методик бережливого производства.

The performance of many organizations depends on their ability to effectively use their IT service systems. This implies the need to optimize the relationship between the IT service provider and the people in the organization. The so-called ITSM systems are used to manage the services. But choosing from the existing ones or developing a new system is only the ―tip of the iceberg‖. Successfully implementing such a system and making sure that it is used effectively is one of the key tasks and living conditions of the system itself.This study focuses on the analysis and modernization of the ―IT services system of Asista‖, one of the outsourcing companies in Kazakhstan, based on efficiency calculations made using lean production techniques.
