Performance of analytical techniques (SWIR imaging, XRD, EPMA) for the identification of minerals frequently formed during natural and technological geothermal processes
Authors: Deon Fiorenza , Förster Hans-Jürgen , Van Ruitenbeek Frank , Appelt Oona
Published: April 2022

This study compares the performance of three analytical methods, hyperspectral imaging in the short-wave infrared range (SWIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and electron-microprobe analysis (EMPA) for the identification of minerals frequently formed during natural and technological geothermal processes. The samples from three geothermal sites in Indonesia contain a spectrum of minerals, which are characteristic for geothermal activities (alunite, jarosite, cristobalite, tridymite) and/or are involved in scaling-forming processes in geothermal plants (barite, celestine, common opal, calcite). We show and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the individual techniques with respect to properly identifying these minerals and to approximate their relative proportions. The SWIR camera permits an unambiguous identification of only a small selection of the geothermally relevant minerals, which restricts its employment as routine tool in the context of geothermics. XRD and EPMA are more powerful techniques and deliver complementary information. In case that SWIR inactive species occur, (b) the entire spectrum of minerals present in a sample has to be unambiguously identified, (c) amorphous substances are present, (d) accurate mineral compositions are required, and (e) detailed information on minerals occurring in low abundance and grain size is warranted, the combined use of XRD and EMPA is mandatory.

The Relationship of Indonesian Learning with the Evironment
Authors: Zeltriani Suci
Published: April 2022

Responding that regions in Indonesia are so prone to natural disasters, we must understand how important it is to learn material about the environment. As we know, recently there have been many natural disasters in the country. Of course this should be a special concern for the whole community. Nkwetisma (in Ramadhan et al., 2019)explains that environmental education is a joint effort that is consciously organized to teach or attract human attention about how the natural environment functions and how humans can manage and protect it. The government has also issued an emergency procedure book for earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, and so on. However, just a book does not guarantee that everyone is aware of the importance of disaster management. There must be a process of guidance through action, such as a disaster simulation.
Effects of mobility on dialect change: Introducing the Linguistic Mobility Index
Authors: Jeszenszky Péter , Steiner Carina , Leemann Adrian
Published: April 2022

Increased geographical mobility motivates dialectologists to consider the exposure of survey participants to linguistic variation. Changing mobility patterns (e.g. longer-distance commuting; easier relocation to distant places for work, study or marriage) have caused linguistic connections to become much more diverse, contributing to an acceleration of dialect change. To assess the impact of individual mobility on this change, we propose the Linguistic Mobility Index (LMI) framework, which estimates long-term exposure to dialectal variation based on episodes of linguistic biography. An LMI of a survey participant comprises combinations of influencing factors, such as dialects of parents, long-term partners, places lived, place of work and education. The linguistic effects of these factors are represented by linguistic distances to the survey participant in question, and the effects are cumulated into an LMI in a weighted manner, according to the relationship the factor embodies and the intensity of the participant’s exposure to the factor. LMI is conceptualised and evaluated based on 500 speakers from 125 localities in the Swiss German Dialects Across Time and Space (SDATS) corpus. Four LMI prototypes are constructed, employing different theoretical considerations and combinations of influencing factors to simulate the availability of metadata in other studies, thereby assessing the generalisability of the framework. Using mixed-effects modelling, we evaluate the utility of the LMI prototypes as predictors of dialect change between historic and contemporary linguistic data of Swiss German. The LMI prototypes successfully show that higher exposure to dialectal variation contributes to more dialect change and that its effect is stronger than some of those sociodemographic variables often tested for similar effects (e.g. sex and educational background). The success of the four prototypes justifies the potential implementation of the LMI framework in other studies, including those with a limited amount of metadata, for which we also provide further guidance in the contribution.
Elevated GEMIN4 expression distinguishes basal-like human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2022

Patients diagnosed with basal-like breast cancer face a more aggressive disease course and more dismal prognosis than patients diagnosed with luminal A and luminal B breast cancer molecular subtypes (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to understand in an unbiased fashion the most distinguishing transcriptional features of tumors from patients with basal or basal-like subtype breast cancer. We observed transcriptome-wide differential expression of gem nuclear organelle-associated protein 4, GEMIN4, when comparing tumors of patients with basal-like breast cancer with that of other PAM50 molecular subtypes. GEMIN4 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in the tumors of patients with basal-like breast cancer. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that GEMIN4 primary tumor expression was correlated with overall survival in HER2+ subtype breast cancer. Elevated GEMIN4 expression appears to distinguish basal-like human breast cancer from the other molecular subtypes.

The SEIS experiment on the NASA InSight mission has catalogued hundreds of marsquakes so far. However, the detectability of these events is controlled by the weather which generates seismic noise. This affects the catalogue on both diurnal and seasonal scales. We propose to use machine learning methods to fit the wind, pressure and temperature data to the seismic energy recorded in the 0.4-1 Hz and 2.2-2.6 Hz bandwidths to examine low and high frequency event categories respectively. We implement gaussian process regression and neural network models for this task. This approach provides the relationship between the atmospheric state and seismic energy. The obtained seismic energy estimate is used to calculate signal to noise ratios (SNR) of marsquakes for multiple bandwidths. We can then demonstrate the presence of low frequency energy separate to the noise level during several events predominantly categorised as high frequency, suggesting a continuum in event spectra distribution. A method to detect marsquakes is implemented whereby a variable threshold is calculated for the subtraction of the predicted noise from the observed signal. This algorithm finds 32 previously undetected marsquakes, with another 34 possible candidates. Furthermore, an analysis of the detection algorithm's variable threshold provides an empirical estimate of marsquake detectivity. This suggests that the largest events would be seen almost all the time, the median size event 45-50% of the time and smallest events 5-20% of the time.
Using water footprint concepts for water security assessment of a basin under anthropogenic pressures
Authors: D'Ambrosio Ersilia , Ricci Giovanni , Gentile Francesco , De Girolamo Anna Maria
Published: April 2022

The evaluation of water shortages and pollution levels is crucial for watershed management and sustainable development. This paper proposes a water footprint (WF) sustainability assessment approach to analyse water security in a river basin under human pressures. The methodology involves a comprehensive assessment of the current water security at different spatial and temporal levels, and identifies suitable response formulations to achieve sustainability. Field surveys and measurements (streamflow, water quality) were carried out, and the Soil and Water Assessment Tool model was used for assessing water balance components and water quality. The study was carried out in the Canale d’Aiedda river basin (Taranto, Italy), which is part of the ‘area of environmental crisis’ of Taranto, which requires remediation of surface water, groundwater, soil and subsoil. Considering all the anthropogenic activities in the basin, including agriculture and the treated effluent disposed of via wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the average WF was 213.9 Mm3 y-1, of which 37.2%, 9.2% and 53.6% comprised respectively for WFgreen, WFblue and WFgrey. The WF sustainability assessment revealed that pollution was the main factor affecting surface water security. In particular, point sources contributed with 90% to the total WFgrey, and lower pollutant thresholds should be fixed for effluent from WWTPs in order to increase water quality of the receiving water body. In addition, for assuring water security the extension of the natural areas should be increased to support biodiversity in the river basin and soil management strategies should be improved to allow more water to be retained in the soil and to reduce nutrients in surface runoff. This study demonstrates that the WF sustainability assessment is a feasible approach for integrated water resources management, as well as offering a much broader perspective on how water security can be achieved in a Mediterranean basin affected by multiple anthropogenic stressors.
Does Aggressive Commentary by Streamers during Violent Video Game Affect State Aggression in Adolescents?
Authors: Lacko David , Macháčková Hana , Dufková Eliška
Published: April 2022

In the past 10 years, live-streaming services have gained huge popularity. Streamers usually play videogames and complement their performance with commentary. We examine the role of this streamer commentary on state aggression in Czech adolescents who were randomly assigned into one of three experimental groups (i.e., aggressive commentary, non-aggressive commentary, no commentary). The findings suggest that a short-term streamer’s commentary have no effect on affective and cognitive state aggression. In addition, the experimental conditions did not moderate any effects of personal traits (i.e., aggression, empathy) and long-term environmental factors (i.e., exposure to violence, watching violent streams, playing violent videogames) on state aggression. We found that trait aggression, trait affective empathy, and long-term exposure to violence were positively associated with state aggression, whereas trait sympathy was negatively associated with state aggression. The findings enrich the research with evidence for the lack of influence for streamer commentary on viewer aggression.

Distinguishing between interaction and dispersion effects in GxE analysis: A review of strategies
Authors: Daza Sebastian , palloni alberto
Published: April 2022

The study of GxE is messy. Multiple and challenging obstacles must be overcome to reach a clean estimate, including confounding, selection, insufficient statistical power, model misspecification, measurement error, and difficulties in discriminating between quantitative and qualitative changes when using polygenic scores. In this paper, we focus on one specific challenge: the importance of distinguishing between interaction and dispersion effects in any analysis of gene-environment interactions. We first argue that a critical decision that researchers must make is choosing between indicators of genetic penetrance, slopes of G, or variance decomposition, h2 or correlation. Sec- ond, we use simulation to assess alternative methods to identify discrepancies between slopes and dispersion effects when studying GxE. Based on our results, we suggest a strategy that requires a precise definition of the research question regarding GxE, a strong theoretical justification of the model that specifies GxE, and the full use of simple visualizations and Bayesian distributional models to evaluate variations patterns in slopes and phenotypical variance.
Another Fragment of the Old French Romance Meliacin, and Some Observations on Its Place among the Other Earliest Witnesses to the Text
Authors: Bolton Timothy
Published: April 2022

This article presents a small fragment (only 42 x 138 mm) of a leaf from a manuscript of the Old French poem Meliacin, which once formed part of the stock of the manuscript dealer Erik von Scherling (1907–1956), and came to light in a private collection in 2009. Unknown to the present author, another similarly sized fragment from the same parent-codex, discovered in the binding of a printed book dated 1699, had been published in 2016 by Aurélie Houdebert and Dáibhí Ó Cróinín. The physical materiality of the fragment discussed here agrees with many of Houdebert’s and Ó Cróinín’s conclusions about the dismembered and otherwise lost parent manuscript, and perhaps takes further what we can say about that original codex, its place among the other early witnesses to the text and its intended audience or owners. Furthermore, this scrap of a leaf has more to tell us about the uses and reuses of manuscripts, as distinctive cuts and red ink staining show it to have been reused in early printing as a frisket, most probably in the sixteenth century, before a final reuse to strengthen a later book binding.
Uncertainties over the Economic Recovery of the United States
Authors: Phelps Edmund S.
Published: April 2022

Within the past dozen years the American economy has suffered shocks unequaled since World War 11: the supply shocks of 1974 and 1979 and the disinflation venture, begun in 1981, in which the Federal Reserve embarked upon a sharply tighter monetary policy (measured, say, by some velocity-adjusted money supply) to the accompaniment of a fiscal policy of investment incentives and increased deficits. During this period unemployment set two postwar records and remains well above the level commonly considered normal. Now, following all this confusing crossfire, the outlook for the American economy is more than usually uncertain.

Bu araştırmada ilkokulda görevli öğretmenlerin afetlere hazırlık düzeyleri ile afet eğitiminin eğitim programlarındaki yeri hakkındaki görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma karma araştırmada sıralı açıklayıcı yöntem çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma örneklemini İzmir İli Buca İlçesinde yer alan kamu ilkokullarında görevli İngilizce, anasınıfı ve sınıf öğretmenleri ile okul psikolojik danışmanları oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak İnal ve Doğan (2018) tarafından hazırlanan likert tipindeki Genel Afete Hazırlık Ölçeği ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Nicel verilerin analizinde parametrik ve nonparametrik testlerden, görüşme ile elde edilen verilerin analizinde ise betimsel analiz yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi sonucunda öğretmenlerin afetlere karşı duyarlılıklarının yüksek olduğu, afet durumlarını ciddiye aldıkları ve afetlere karşı önlem almayı önemsedikleri, bu önlemlerin yararlı olacağını düşündükleri; ancak bu önlemleri gerçekleştirmedikleri ve kendilerini afetlere karşı hazırlık konusunda yeterli görmedikleri sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmanın nitel bölümünden elde edilen veriler de bu bulguları desteklemektedir. Ulaşılan bu sonuçlar çerçevesinde öğretmenlerin afetlere hazırlık düzeyi ile hâlihazırda okullarda gerçekleştirilen afet eğitimi uygulamalarının iyileştirilmesine yönelik önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
Taxonomic diversity of the genus Pseudotrapelus (Agamidae; Sauria) and biogeography of Afro-Arabia
Authors: Melnikov D.A. , Melnikova E.N.
Published: April 2022

This is the first annotated check-list on taxonomic structure of Pseudotrapelus, a genus that was considered previously to be monotypic. The paper is based on a large collection (more than 250 specimens from the whole range of the genus), and represents the first publication about this genus in Russian. Five Pseudotrapelus species are divided into two groups: the African one with Ps. sinaitus sensu stricto and the Arabian one with Ps. neumanni, Ps. aqabensis, Ps. dhofarensis and Ps. jensvindumi. The division into two groups was caused, probably, by separation of Arabia from Africa 28–23 mya. The collision of these landmasses via the Gomphoterium land bridge, south from the Sinai Peninsula 18–15 mya caused the secondary colonization of Arabia by Pseudotrapelus (this time by Ps. sinaitus) and formation of the sympathry zone and, probably, hybridization with the Arabian species group in the Aqaba area. South-Western Arabia is the center of recent taxonomic diversity of Pseudotrapelus.

Violence, Sexuality and Diminishing Masculinity: Subversive Masculinities in Tayeb Salih’s Season of Migration (1969) and Nadifa Mohammed’s Orchard of Lost Souls (2013)
Authors: Nyongesa Andrew , Makokha Justus
Published: April 2022

Political upheavals, relegation of women and migration are the hallmarks of pioneer and recent works of prose from Eastern Africa, which prompts most critics to opt for postcolonial and feminist canons in the critical appreciation of these literary productions. Colonialism triggered cultural tensions and desire to emigrate to Western metropoles to obtain the means to expedite the new ideas in Africa. With settings pervaded by dominant and marginal cultural dualisms, it is reasonable to subject such literary works to postcolonial criticism. Similarly, the gender othering of women through misogyny and cultural practices such as female genital mutilation brings most works of prose in the region under feminist criticism. This study breaks away from these trends to analyse the political upheavals and abuse of women in such prose works as an attempt to reconstruct the diminishing hegemonic masculinity. The colonial enterprise in Africa was not just a cultural shocker, but a sexually aggressive act poised to explore virgin lands and demascularize her male inhabitants. This article analyses political animosity and male promiscuity in African characters as a futile attempt to restore the diminishing hegemonic masculinities in Mohamed’s Orchard of Lost Souls (2013) and Salih’s Season of Migration (1969). The ideas of Connell (1991) and McClintock (1995) will form a theoretical basis of interpretation.

Some uses of the royal wit kit: A pragmatic and narrative approach to the structure and functions of royal witticism
Authors: Rotaru Marina-Cristiana
Published: April 2022

This article focuses on the use of verbal humour in two royal contexts and aims to identify, on the one hand, the structure of the joke and how the joke can be deciphered and, on the other hand, the communicative function(s) of the royal use of humour. In addition, the paper aims to prove that royal jokes are circumscribed to an ‘archive’, a particular set of norms which, in spite of its flexibility, has its own boundaries. The analytical framework rests mainly on narrative and pragmatic approaches. The investigation reveals that, being subject to the ‘archive”, royal jokes have to violate the cooperative principle and yet, the message manages to get through and context plays a paramount role in making the message clear. Furthermore, the paper shows how humour can facilitate the exercise of some of the rights of a constitutional monarch: the right to encourage and the right to warn.
Representations of people in foreign language textbooks
Authors: Merteli Darja
Published: April 2022

In recent years, English has further strengthened its dominant position in the field of foreign languages (FL); on the other hand, countries all over Europe are facing pluri-cultural and pluri-linguistic challenges. Therefore, the recognition of the value of FL has become more precious, and the FL textbook market is growing. FL textbooks are not only tools for learning, but they (need to) reflect cultural aspects, attitudes and social dynamics. The purpose of this study is to analyse several FL textbooks in terms of the representation of non-white people, as transmitted by their visual presence, aiming to reveal how images of ‘non-whites’ are integrated into the selected textbooks, pursuing (a) whether principles of choice are different in the chosen three different linguistic areas, (b) if there seems to be any awareness developed, and (c) if the findings might reveal that some series are biased in terms of ‘non-whites’ representation.
Krieg als Erweckungserlebnis. Zu geistiger Reife und Künstlertum als Kriegserfahrung in Hermann Hesses „Der Künstler an die Krieger“ (1914)
Authors: Mohring Tilia
Published: April 2022

This article analyses Hermann Hesse’s poem, „Der Künstler an die Krieger“ (1914), written and published shortly after the outbreak of World War I. Hesse considered war an experience of personal crisis initiating the soldiers‘ moral and intellectual maturation. Fighting, they approach an artist’s higher state of mind. The poem is often said to be nothing more than a spontaneous reaction to the initial German enthusiasm for war. But Hesse praises the educative potential of the war situation and the superiority of artistry even in texts from the 1920’s. The connection between crisis and artistry as well as an intellectual distinction of artists seems to be an important assumption of his self-concept as a poet.

Improvement of the natural gas metering system in energy units
Authors: Predun K. , Konovaliuk V. , Franchuk Yu
Published: April 2022

The natural gas metering system is currently imperfect and does not provide the necessary accuracy in determining the amount of gas consumed. There is still a certain number of consumers without meters, where the determination of the volume of gas consumed is based on approximate indicators. In addition, most consumers do not have correctors for gas pressure and temperature on the meters, which makes it impossible to accurately determine the amount of gas reduced to standard conditions. The quality of natural gas is also not enough. The way out of this situation is the implementation of an intelligent energy metering system for calculating the consumed natural gas. In addition to controlling the technological parameters of natural gas, it is necessary to determine the composition of natural gas and its energy value on existing gas control point. The analysis of gas composition in the place of its extraction is carried out, the data of the gas transmission system operator and the experimental data received at research of properties of gas in Institute of Gas of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine are considered. Significant discrepancies have been obtained, which confirms the fact of a significant change in both the composition of the gas and its energy value during selection at different points of the gas network. Given global trends, the single energy market, Ukraine's course into European structures, the transition of gas metering to energy units is extremely important. The scheme of improvement the process of dispatching of natural gas metering for measurement of its quantity in units of energy is developed. This scheme provides for the metering of gas from the place of its production to the consumer in energy units. Also, such a scheme will allow to accurately determine the location of possible leaks and losses of gas in the networks of settlements and to obtain a real daily balancing of gas, taking into account its variable energy value.
Approximation of the parameters of air outflow from the hole to simulate natural air exchange

Published: April 2022

Although natural ventilation has low efficiency and stability, its simulation remains relevant today. First, most of the legacy buildings are naturally ventilated. Secondly, production facilities with powerful heat emissions are designed precisely with the use of natural ventilation – aeration. After all, the air exchange in them is too great to provide it with mechanical systems. Finally, it is impractical to utilize the heat of the exhaust air due to the lack of close consumers of low-grade heat. Previously, when calculating aeration, only the value of the coefficient of the flow rate of holes in the self-similar area was used for the calculated parameters of the indoor and outdoor air. Modern approaches require modeling air exchange under variable internal and external conditions, under which air exchange can take arbitrarily small values. In this case, the mode of operation of the holes goes beyond the self-similar area. The most versatile is the Altshul chart. The diagram was built before the advent of powerful computers. Therefore, obtaining sufficiently accurate approximations of complex curves was a very time consuming task. In most cases, builds were done manually. At the same time, in the region of a small Reynolds number, a significant underestimation of the experimental data is noticeable Computer calculations cannot be based on graphical data and requires a mathematical description. However, Altshul provided only a formula describing a fairly narrow range. In this paper, an approximation of the experimental data is proposed. The regions for which experimental data are absent are described on the basis of the assumptions made in this work. The results make it possible to simulate natural air exchange in the widest possible range of external factors.

DO CONTEMPORÂNEO SURGE UMA NOVA DISTOPIA
Authors: Martins Pereira Ânderson
Published: April 2022

As distopias contemporâneas têm sido largamente estudadas, pois muitos teóricos as consideram uma atualização ao gênero distopia como era concebidotradicionalmente. Sob este prisma, este trabalho busca analisar alguns aspectos que diferenciam a atual forma do gênero de seus antecessores. Analisar-se-á aocorrência do pós-humano e transumano, bem como as implicações sociais em ambos na criação de sociedades distópicas. Além disso, buscar-se-á demonstraras diferentes características resultantes da troca de foco das narrativas, que vai da ênfase no social nas distopias tradicionais para o corpo e a essência do humano nas distopias contemporâneas. Para tal, este trabalho utiliza-se das contribuições de Gregory Claeys (2010), Rafaella Baccolini (2004), Eduardo Marks de Marques (2014) e Cary Wolfe (2010).Palavras-chave: Distopias contemporâneas, transumanidade, pós-humanidade, utopia.
1984 REVISITADO
Authors: Pierre Chauvin Jean
Published: April 2022

As narrativas distópicas ensinam a estabelecer diálogos entre mundos e tempos distantes e nem sempre tão diferentes. Isso talvez explique o estranho fascínio por esse gênero, que descreve as condições subumanas de existência; o embrutecimento das pessoas; as formas de opressão do governo, apoiado por polícias que controlam ações, dizeres e pensamentos. A imposição de limites ideológicos e fronteiras espaciais são algumas das tópicas recorrentes. Neste ensaio, apresenta-se uma breve análise do romance 1984 em diálogo com parte da extensa fortuna crítica sobre a distopia de George Orwell, com vistas a reiterar a importância da obra e os modos como dialoga com outras narrativas afiliadas ao gênero.Palavras-chave: Distopia, George Orwell, 1984
MANIFESTAÇÕES DA INCONFIABILIDADE NA NARRATIVA DE LARANJA MECÂNICA

Este artigo objetiva apresentar uma análise sobre como a inconfiabilidade, característica resultante de incidentes ocorridos a partir da segunda metade do século XX, se manifesta na narração do romance Laranja Mecânica, de Anthony Burgess (2014). Para decorrer sobre esse objetivo, construímos um estudo envolvendo teorias estruturalistas, representadas por Wayne Booth (1961) e Gerard Genette (1995); e teorias sociológicas, representadas, principalmente, por Theodor Adorno e Max Hokheimer (1985). A partir das análises, foi possível observar que o narrador-personagem, Alex, desenvolve uma narrativa que busca o controle e manipulação do leitor, constituindo, dessa forma, um discurso que reflete a inconfiabilidade do momento histórico em que o romance foi escrito.Palavras-chave: Narração, pós-guerra, narrador-personagem, manipulação

problema de palabras. A poética de Xela Arias
Authors: Nogueira Pereira María Xesús
Published: April 2022

A visión de Xela Arias sobre a escrita reflectida en textos autopoéticos, conferencias ou entrevistas permite a reconstrución dun discurso metaliterario que non só define as claves da súa poética senón que a sitúa nunhas coordenadas estéticas e ideolóxicas. Das primeiras destaca a importancia da linguaxe —a palabra— nun constante exercicio de experimentación baseado na liberdade. Das segundas, a conciencia de estar a escribir desde unha condición, a de muller, e nunha lingua minorizada. E, como pano de fondo, a subversión da orde estabelecida, a denuncia dos falsos equilibrios e o cuestionamento da orde das cousas.

The article discusses of the main directions of improving the efficiency of meat-processing enterprises. Ukraine’s integration into the world economic space necessitates a significant increase in the competitiveness of manufactured products and the efficiency of production and economic activities of meat processing enterprises as a priority sector of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine. Improving the efficiency of economic entities is one of the urgent problems, the successful solution of which provides great opportunities for further development of the economy and improving living standards. Measures to increase production efficiency are determined by ways to increase the efficiency of financial and economic activities. The most important areas of improving the efficiency of the meat processing industry can be considered the following: the organization of incoming control and rational use of raw materials in the meat processing industry; long-term raw material supply; introduction of innovative technologies in production; implementation of effective management decisions related to pricing policy, which affects the sale of finished products in both domestic and foreign markets. To implement these areas, it is necessary to develop new organizational and economic vertically integrated management structures of the entire cycle at the micro and macro level, including: raising animals, harvesting meat, processing it and selling an assortment of finished products to various segments of consumers. The authors proposed a vertically integrated structure of the reproduction process of meat processing enterprises. As a result, we can obtain the cumulative effect of financial stability of the development of the entire integrated structure. This gives more opportunities to innovate in production, popularize resource and energy-saving technologies in order to optimize cost, increase the quality and assortment of meat products, and generate more income and profit. At the same time, realization of the new integrated organizational and economic structures it is impossible without the state support through subsidies, grants, access to soft loans.
