Published: December 2023

Introduction. In modern world, the dynamic development of information technologies leads to corresponding changes in educational process, that is, to a great extent, founded on implemented technologies. The new forms of information presentation are declared by designers as the most effective for teaching. Therefore, the question of their real value for education and their impact on the students' perception of educational content arises. The study of virtual reality, which is in principal a new form, impact on students' perception of educational material appears to be of importance. Specifically, we mean it in comparison with traditional forms, which are video and text.

Purpose. In our article, we will assess students' perception features of learning material presented in various formats, thus its efficiency for educational process.

Materials and Methods. We used the questionnaire method. The study participants were students of Don State Technical University. They were asked to assess materials presented in various forms: video, text, and VR.

Results. The conducted research showed that the students highly assessed VR and video forms of information presentation. They think the stated forms are the easiest for perception, they are engaging and allow students to memorize material in the best way possible. While giving them the highest priority for further education, respondents also noted the difficulties with full immersion in the material.

Discussion. The implementation of new forms of information presentation and VR specifically can help induce full immersion in the material. However, it requires familiarization for students with the content provided, which is organized in video and text form.

Abstract. Technological developments in Indonesia have increased the spread of pirated films. Film piracy means copying, distributing, and selling a work without the creator's permission for personal gain. This study aimed to design a digital comic to educate people about the dangers of watching pirated films for themselves and the film industry. The research used qualitative methods through observations and interviews with a film director and webtoon comic artist. Observations were made in places where many still choose to watch movies illegally. The design process started with finding ideas/references, writing stories, designing characters, compiling storyboards, thickening comics, digitizing comic colouring, and arranging layouts for composing dialog texts. Comics were then uploaded via the LINE Webtoon platform. The webcomic design on the issue of film piracy has ten episodes uploaded to LINE Webtoon. It tells the story of a student who dreams of becoming a great director, but in his surroundings, he still often watches movies illegally. This webcomic attempts to make people aware that behind a film, there are great people who struggle and make a living.
Self-concept, Self-efficacy, and Academic Achievement of Prospective Mathematics and Biology Teachers
Authors: Baiduri  , Usmiyatun
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the intricate interplay between self-concept, self-confidence, and academic achievement among aspiring mathematics and biology teachers. Through a quantitative research approach and survey design, we explore the relationships among these psychological factors and their potential influence on the educational paths of future educators in these distinct disciplines. Seventy-six prospective biology education teachers and 115 prospective mathematics education teachers voluntarily participated as respondents in filling out the provided survey. Utilizing standardized self-concept and self-efficacy assessments in conjunction with academic performance records, we gather comprehensive data to analyze these dynamics by inferential statistics, independent t-tests, and Pearson's correlation. Our findings show that there is a significant difference in the self-concept of prospective biology education teachers and mathematics education teachers when studying mathematics or statistics material, highlighting significant correlations between self-concept, self-efficacy, and academic achievement. However, the nature of these relationships varies between mathematics and biology domains, suggesting the need for tailored strategies in each field. While a positive self-concept and self-efficacy foster academic success, their impact differs based on the subject matter. The findings from these analyses can shed light on how self-concept and self-efficacy in mathematical understanding and problem-solving contribute to the academic achievement of prospective teachers in mathematics and biology. This information has implications for teacher training programs and educational strategies aimed at enhancing both self-perception and teaching efficacy in mathematics-related subjects.

Participants with higher education levels agreed that they knew how the examination was conducted before coming, unlike participants with lower levels of education, and there was a significant statistical difference between the groups (p=0.02). Participants who underwent transesophageal echocardiography stated that they were better informed and prepared compared to those who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (p=0.01). Conclusion. The results of the conducted research indicate that participants are well informed and prepared for echocardiographic examinations, with no significant differences based on gender and age. Participants who underwent transesophageal ultrasound of the heart considered themselves better informed and prepared compared to those who underwent transthoracic echocardiography.
Гібридні операції, їх аналіз та механізми запобігання й протидії-сучасний досвід іноземних держав
Authors: Грановський Микола
Published: December 2023

У сучасному світі спостерігається тенденція до значного зростання кількості гібридних конфліктів, які стають дедалі більш витонченими і непередбачуваними. Статтю присвячено теоретичним і практичним аспектам таких явищ, як гібридна війна, гібридний конфлікт або агресія, що впливають на безпеку міжнародного середовища, а також діям органів державної влади щодо протидії таким загрозам, зокрема у країнах ЄС. Здійснено спробу дати відповідь на запитання: «У чому виражається суть гібридних дій? Як відбувається їх еволюція? Яким є характер сьогоднішньої гібридної агресії?». Сучасна практика гібридних операцій з боку агресора демонструє кардинальну зміну тактики та засобів, які використовує держава-гравець світового рівня проти супротивника, який є слабким і нездатним захищати цілісність власної території. Аргументи, викладені у статті, підтверджують необхідність подальшого проведення досліджень гібридних дій, які порушили цілісність державних кордонів багатьох країн, у тому числі й України, та продовжують становити реальну загрозу безпеці в Європі та світі.

Conceptualization of Ecological Philosophy and Philosophy of Ecology as Directions of Cognition of the Architectonics of Ecological Existence
Authors:   Surgut State University, Bogos Inna R.
Published: December 2023

One of the urgent problems of modern humanitarian knowledge is the implementation of a holistic and critical analysis of ecological philosophy and philosophy of ecology as directions of philosophical cognition in the un-derstanding of environmental problems characterizing various models of the relationship between man and nature. Considering these directions of scientific knowledge, we establish that they differ not only in the subject of cognition, but also in the models of interaction: the first one studies ecological theories and concepts, in the center of which are evolutionary processes of nature and society, and the second one studies ontological and axiological aspects characterizing the sustainability of human and nature development in accordance with hu-manistic attitudes, opposing negative scenarios of future development of mankind. Due to the spread of neo-humanism and transhumanism, special perspectives of noosphere, eco-culture, and post-apocalyptic scenari-os in general are being formed. The general interest of these directions is conditioned by the study of the archi-tectonics of ecological being as the most important basis of ecological civilization of the present and future in the context of sustainable development.

Authors:   Don State Agrarian University, Emelyanova Olga B.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the problems of modern Russian education as the most important institution for the for-mation of national identity of youth. The relevance is based on the request to reconstruct the education system, which is caused by the change of ideological formats: a complex transition from globalist ideas, values of the European format towards deeply patriotic thinking, Russian socio-cultural identity. The real problems of modern education are investigated, the solution of which lies in the plane of two basic directions: education as a form of national identity and education as the most important system of personality formation. The author analyzes the ways of possible revival of the foundations of humanitarian knowledge among young people and points out the important role of two key concepts in this aspect. It is suggested to rethink the existing professional standard of a teacher, supplementing it with competencies reflecting the needs of modernity and challenges of the time. Conclusion dwells upon the necessity of systemic reforms capable of restoring the national traditional system of education with the priority of the pedagogical aspect, thus reviving the deep national identity of the youth.
Methodological Grounds for Interpreting the Historical Past as a Way of Influencing the Consciousness of Russian Youth
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Skvortsova Elena M. , Klimova Yana S.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of influencing the consciousness of Russian youth. The aim of the study is to analyze the methodological basis and methods of interpreting the historical past in order to influence the behavior of young people. The article analyzes the peculiarities and role of historical memory in the formation of young people's personality, as well as the methods of its transformation. The author comes to the conclusion that in the era of the postmodern turn in history, the leading direction of manipulating the consciousness of young people regarding the historical past of the country is a constructivist approach to understanding history and a set of technical manipulation tools that serve this paradigm of understanding. Methods of combating this phenomenon should lie in the cognitive sphere. History teachers at schools and universities today are literally on the front line of this battle. The future of the country depends on them. The problem of formation of historical consciousness of young people requires close comprehensive attention of the state, social institutions, scien-tific community and the response of society itself. The results of the work can be useful in scientific research and educational process in the field of national history, social philosophy, political science, sociology.

Authors:   D. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia, Seliverstova Natalia M.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the current topic of relations between the authorities and the elite, namely, an analysis of the process of elaborating by the government of the Russian Empire of ways to respond to the increased petition activity of the nobility after the abolition of serfdom. M.A. Korf, who headed the Second Department of His Imperial Majesty’s own chancellery, took part in this activity, as evidenced by his note and its subsequent discussion with government representatives. The novelty of the article is represented by the author's conclusion that the ban on the submission of collective petitions of the nobility about abuses and problems in local and central administration was gradually formalized in government offices several years before its adoption and became an instrument of flexible policy of the authorities in relation to the upper class during the reform period.

Authors:   Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnography of the Peoples of the Far East,  Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Beloglazova Svetlana B.
Published: December 2023

The present article touches upon the issue of the history of education in Pacific Russia – the reform of second-ary schools in the 60s of the XIX century, which gave an impetus to the growth of the educational network through the emergence of the first male and female secondary educational institutions in the region. The ap-peal to the historical experience of educational system transformation is determined by the active rethinking of the results of the school reform implemented in modern Russia. In the 1860s, along with the state represented by regional and oblast administrators, the subject of educational policy was the public, represented by mer-chants and other entrepreneurs, Cossacks and urban societies. Private initiatives played a decisive role in the reform of secondary schools, actively contributing to the construction of new educational institutions. In the pro-cess of research, the author identified at least two regional programs that included positions on the develop-ment of secondary education in Pacific Russia. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that the results of the second-ary school reform had a positive impact on the development of the education system in the region, which is confirmed by the factual data revealed in the course of the research.

Published: December 2023

The article examines the features of style in the romance art of the Russian composer of the XIX century César Antonovich Cui. The analysis of important key points in the construction of his musical and artistic works is car-ried out. It is emphasized that C. Cui was partly a follower of the realistic trend in Russian music, the founder of which is considered to be A. Dargomyzhsky. The analysis of the form of romances and songs by C. Cui reveals the composer’s desire to unite music and lyrics, the meticulous process of creating natural-speech intonations in vocal parts with an obvious attraction to melodic, a song recitative without tendencies to ostentatious and diverting from the natural expression of singing cantilena. The peculiarity of C. Cui’s composing style deter-mines the merits of his musical creations, consisting in the beauty of intonation warehouse, elegance, originali-ty and harmony of vocal works.

The systemic crisis of the modern complex world is associated with the collapse of idols, with a lack of faith in political and moral ideals and goals. Sociocultural impulses are associated with the sociocultural chronotope of the ethnic group. Eurasian traditions of dialog of cultures in the worldview of the ethnos are connected with the religious sources of the ethnos’ worldview. The sociocultural chronotope of an ethnos is ethnically colored. The aim of the work is the study of cultural impulses in the context of ethnocultural archetypes in the worldview of the people. Scientific novelty is associated with the consideration of the spiritual and mental existence of an ethnic group, which creates impulses for sociocultural and political life. Impulses are rooted in human exist-ence. They are associated with the self-affirmation of a person and an ethnic group. Cultural impulses are re-lated to the violation of the need for soulful comprehension of life, spiritual and soulful being of the ethnos and in this hypostasis serve as a prerequisite for sociocultural and political life. In addition, impulses correlate with the perception of space and time of the ethnos, which determines the uniqueness of the ethnos, the peculiari-ties of self-assertion in the universe.

Based on the method of comparative analysis of alternative interpretations of these transformations, the thesis about the cri-sis of gender culture in modern Western society is substantiated. The main factors that contribute to the defor-mation of gender identity, in particular urbanization, the spread of non-traditional religious movements, mass media and mass culture, are outlined. Five key manifestations of gender crisis are identified and analyzed: 1) destructive feminism; 2) gender neutrality; 3) transgenderism and transsexualism; 4) LGBT; 5) virtualization of gender roles. It is argued that Western ideology and practice of gender transformation is a destructive attempt to solve the demographic problem. The authors ascertain that it is necessary to take measures to confront the gender crisis and preserve the humanistic principles of traditional gender identity.
“The Fourth Industrial Revolution” by K. Schwab in the Context of O. Cochin’s Study “The Little People and the French Revolution”
Authors:   Kaluga State University named after K.E. Tsiolkovsky, Fedyai Inna V. , Bulanov Artemy N. ,   Kaluga State University named after K.E. Tsiolkovsky
Published: December 2023

The article attempts to consider the “digital revolution” in the context of O. Cochin’s research and using his method. O. Cochin identifies two approaches to the study of the phenomenon of revolutions – an object-free one based on the thesis of “circumstances” and a subject one introducing the thesis of “small people”. Each of the approaches is a source-based filter, creates its own paradigm-theoretical field, thereby predetermining the results of the study. The choice of one or another field is determined by the will of the researcher. An attempt is made to identify two similar approaches, and, as a result, the emergence of two opposite paradigms for the study of the digital revolution with its strategy of “zeroing out” civilization. It is shown that being in the paradig-matic field of the “thesis of circumstances” makes us ignore the subjective factor of history and hides the true subject of the revolution. The paradigmatic space of the thesis of “small people”, “inversely oriented” in relation to the big people, is based on the identification of the subjective factor of history and leads researchers to the inevitability of entering the theory of anti-systems of L.N. Gumilev.

procesos de democratización de la universidad argentina y sus derivaciones institucionales
Authors: Vercellino Soledad
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo analiza algunas derivaciones que producen los procesos de democratización de la universidad hacia/en la propia universidad. A partir de nuestras investigaciones, pero también de los procesos reflexivos que surgen del trabajo en instancias de gestión institucional, identificaremos dos grandes acontecimientos democratizadores: aquellos producidos a partir de la universalización de la cobertura de la Educación Superior a partir de la vuelta a la democracia y, más recientes, los que acontecieron a partir del incremento de nuevos inscriptos y egresados en el marco de la Pandemia por COVID 19.
Conjeturaremos que estos procesos de democratización han puesto a la universidad en procesos críticos de transición y de interpelación, de los que daremos cuenta a partir del análisis de la literatura en la materia, la explotación de estadísticas educativas y el análisis de normativas.
Artes escénicas y formación de científicos: una experiencia didáctica y lúdica para mejorar la comunicación
Authors: Aramburú Rosana Mariel
Published: December 2023

Lxs científicxs deben comunicar sus investigaciones y/o conocimientos frente a pares, en el aula o ante un público lego, tareas para las cuales no tienen una formación específica en su trayecto académico. Las artes escénicas pueden mejorar sus habilidades comunicativas al indagar y experimentar acerca del cuerpo y el registro de sus posibilidades. Parto de la premisa que cuando unx alumnx, unx investigadorx o unx docente se presenta ante un “público”, también sube a escena y se asiste a un pequeño espectáculo. En este trabajo relato una propuesta vivencial cuyo objetivo persigue que los cuerpos no interfieran con el propósito de comunicar sino que se conviertan en aliados. Es un entrenamiento que involucra nuestra materialidad y nuestros productos intangibles: voz y mirada. El proceso requiere confianza, entrega, disposición al juego, concentración, paciencia y coraje. Se busca pasar por los momentos de exposición con menos estrés, transformando esa situación en una experiencia disfrutable. La convocatoria exitosa y la diversidad de interesadxs pone en evidencia la demanda de espacios de trabajo alternativo, que pueden mejorar las habilidades de lxs científicxs y evitar que algo interesante que transmitir quede desvalorizado o pueda frustrarse en su totalidad.
La escultura pública como un mecanismo de representación e identificación de la comunidad local
Authors: Fernández Pons Luis , Llobet Sarria Jasmina
Published: December 2023

El presente texto aborda una serie de esculturas públicas recientes del colectivo artístico Llobet y Pons, realizadas teniendo en cuenta diversas consideraciones específicas del contexto en que se instalan. Estas obras incorporan una funcionalidad participativa que pretende dar respuesta a las reivindicaciones de la comunidad local, con el propósito de favorecer una identificación con las esculturas. A través de objetos relacionales de carácter público, Llobet & Pons crean lugares de encuentro que favorecen la interacción de la comunidad entre sí y con el arte. En ocasiones, esto se logra a través del deporte, como en la obra No one wins. Multibasket (Isla de Pingsha) (2022), que incorpora una nueva cancha de baloncesto para la comunidad; o mediante  el programa cultural diseñado conjuntamente con entidades del barrio y ofrecido en torno a una serie de miniedificios en Kiezplatten (2021). Llobet & Pons también exploran la incorporación de una infraestructura de uso práctico el lugar, como en la obra Population Pyramid Grill Station (2019), que incluye una barbacoa pública. En In another’s skin (2018) demuestran que otra estrategia efectiva de identificación consiste en la creación de esculturas que incorporan un significado personal para la audiencia, estableciéndose un vínculo personal e intransferible entre participante y escultura.
Effects of zinc-nano oxide, salicylic acid and sodium nitroprusside on physiological properties, antioxidant enzyme activities and secondary metabolites of Viola odorata under drought stress

Published: December 2023

One of the most important abiotic stresses and limiting factors (closing pores, lack of CO2 entry, reduced photosynthesis, and reduced yield) of plant products around the world is water-deﬁcit stress. This study aimed to examine the water deficit stress and foliar application with anti-stress compounds (ASC) on characteristics of Viola odorata. The study was carried out as a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete design. The factors consisted of water deficit and the foliar application of ASC at six levels [zinc-nano oxide (ZnO, 1000 and 1500 mg l–1), salicylic acid (SA, 200 and 300 mg l–1), and sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 200 and 300 μM)], and the control. The water deficit reduced the leaf water potential, cell membrane stability, and the shoot and root fresh weight but increased electrolyte leakage and soluble sugar accumulation. However, foliar applications, particularly SA and SNP, positively affected the measured parameters. The activities of superoxide dismutase and guaiacol peroxidase at all three field capacity levels were higher in the plants treated with SA and SNP than in the control and plants treated with ZnO. In sum, using 200 mg l–1 of SA as a foliar application, in addition to improvement of the growth and developmental conditions of the aromatic violet plant, moderated the adverse effects of water deficit stress and increased the plant resistance to water deficit stress. Based on the results, the application of SA, SNP, and ZnO reduced electrolyte leakage and enhanced the plant’s resistance to water deficit by increasing the compatible osmolyte accumulation and antioxidant enzyme activity.
Impact of organic and conventional cultivation on seed quality of two soya bean varieties sown at different row spacings
Authors: Gawęda Dorota , Andruszczak Sylwia , Buczek Jan
Published: December 2023

Soya bean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a legume valued for, among other things, the high nutritional value of its seeds, which contain around 40% protein with an excellent amino acid composition and a significant fat content. The study aimed to evaluate the protein, fat, fibre and amino acids content of the seeds of two soya bean varieties sown at different row spacings under organic and conventional growing conditions. The study showed that the conventional method of production has a more favourable effect on the soya bean’s protein content and the most amino acids, primarily essential amino acids. In organic cultivation, soya bean seeds were characterised by a higher content of fat and sulphur amino acids (methionine and cysteine). The research carried out indicates that the seeds of the Aldana variety, compared to the Merlin variety, have greater nutritional importance to humans due to a higher content of protein and almost all amino acids, including essential amino acids. Only a higher content of seed fat and tryptophan was evidenced in the Merlin variety. Row spacing did not significantly differentiate the assessed soya bean seed quality parameters. Only the amount of methionine was significantly higher when soya beans were grown at a narrower row spacing (22.5 cm).
Tracing the latest Jurassic–earliest Cretaceous paleoenvironment evolution in swell carbonate facies: a case study of the High-Tatric succession (Central Western Carpathians, Tatra Mts, Poland)
Authors: Lodowski Damian Gerard , Grabowski Jacek
Published: December 2023

This paper presents an interpretation of sedimentologic, paleomagnetic, and geochemical data collected in the Upper Kimmeridgian–Valanginian carbonates of the Giewont series (Giewont and Mały Giewont sections, High-Tatric succession, Western Tatra Mountains, Poland). The studied succession provides insight into the sedimentary conditions prevailing in the South Tatric Ridge (Tatricum), a submarine elevation located between the Zliechov Basin (Fatricum) and the Vahic (=South Penninic) Ocean. The sedimentary sequence includes micrites, pseudonodular limestones, cyanoid packstones, lithoclastic packstone, and encrinites. The results are discussed with regards to their significance for detrital input, paleoclimate, and paleoproductivity, which in turn are considered in the context of both local and regional paleoenvironmental trends and events. The greatest depositional depths during the latest Kimmeridgian–earliest Tithonian are documented by the occurrence of pseudonodular limestones. A Tithonian shallowing trend is demonstrated via the increasing size and roundness of cyanoids, while the final (?)emergence and erosion in the South Tatric Ridge is documented by earliest Cretaceous disconformities. This process might have been related to both falling sea-level during the major eustatic regressive cycle and tectonic uplift caused by the mutually related (re)activation in the Neotethyan Collision Belt and rifting in the Ligurian-Penninic-Vahic Oceans. The highest lithogenic influx (although still low; max 0.5% of Al content) during the Late Kimmeridgian is considered as associated with relatively humid climate conditions, whereas a subsequent decreasing trend is thought to result from aridification during the latest Kimmeridgian–earliest Tithonian. Ultimately, deposition in the High-Tatric zone was affected by both large-scale environmental perturbations characteristic of the latest Jurassic (climate changes, variations in seawater pH, monsoonal upwelling, lithogenic input, etc.), as well as local sedimentary controls, predominantly the oxygenation state of bottom waters and tectonic movements.

Published: December 2023

The potential of heavy minerals as a provenance tracer in Albian arenites of extra-Carpathian Poland was assessed. Studies in this area have focused on various methods based on heavy mineral chemistry that provide an effective tool for reconstructing the provenance of quartz-rich sediments. The previously suggested division of the study area into two domains with different source areas: the western domain – the Miechów area, and the eastern domain – the Lublin area, was based on geochronological (monazite and muscovite dating) and rutile mineral chemical studies. The mineral chemistry of newly examined heavy minerals supports the previously suggested division. The mineral chemistry of detrital tourmaline suggests medium-grade metamorphic rocks as the main source in both domains. Detrital garnet in the western domain shows affiliation to the Góry Sowie Massif, while garnet in the eastern domain was most probably sourced from southern/central Norway. The western domain was most probably fed from rocks of the Bohemian Massif. The main source area for the eastern domain was most probably located in the Baltic Shield. The distinct division of the study area into two domains was caused by the palaeogeography of the region in the Albian and the action of longshore currents in south-eastward and eastward directions.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of age of cows on variability in mastitis prevalence risk and its concomitant impacts on their successive daily milk yield by analyzing test-day records of dairy cows collected in the period 2005–2022. The results obtained indicate a correlation between the age and breed of cows enrolled in the study and mastitis prevalence risk alongside its concomitant impacts on their successive daily milk yield. The findings demonstrate a progressive increase in mastitis prevalence risk with the advancing age of cows, notably more pronounced in the Holstein breed than in the Simmental breed. The Simmental cows exhibited a lower increase in daily milk yield, experiencing a substantial decrease in overall yields (namely milk, fat, and protein) in contrast to the Holstein cows. The primiparous cows of both breeds displayed the highest total increase in daily milk yield. This study underscores the significance of monitoring dairy herd health as a pivotal component of successful dairy herd management. Moreover, the daily lactose content was found a valuable and cost-effective indicator for ensuring the economically and environmentally sustainable operations of dairy farms.

The beginning of lactation in dairy cows is a challenging period when cows experience oxidative stress followed by an increased risk of mastitis. This study aimed to establish a correlation between mastitis pathogens and the activity of antioxidant enzymes – superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) – in milk collected from cows with mastitis compared with their healthy counterparts. During the two-year survey, the udder health status was followed and the changes in SOD and GPX activity in milk were assessed in the period to 42nd day of lactation. The quarter milk samples were screened for detection of abnormal milk secretion (AMS) and intramammary infections (IMI). The spectrophotometric methods were used for detection of antioxidant enzyme activity in milk serum. The prevalence of IMIs from AMS was 43.83% while the isolated mastitis pathogens were grouped as contagious: Streptococcus agalactiae (19.14%) and Staphylococcus aureus (6.17%); or environmental: Enterococcus spp. (8.02%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (7.41%), Escherichia coli (1.85%), and Aspergillus niger (1.23%). IMI showed statistically significant influence on SOD and GPX activity in milk serum (p<0.05). Contagious bacteria lead to increased activity of GPX, while environmental pathogens more drastically increase SOD activity. Providing a balanced diet with adequate antioxidants and managing environmental stressors can help reduce oxidative stress during the transition period and decrease the risk of mastitis in early lactation.

Donkey milk is usually sold for human consumption directly at farms and agricultural households and it is used in the raw state because of its well-known medicinal properties. Sometimes, however, such milk has poor microbiological status due to inappropriate conditions during hand milking and storage. The aim of this paper was to examine the microbiological status of donkey milk exposed to different temperature treatments (refrigerated at 4 ℃ for 3 h, frozen at −18 ℃ for 1 day, and pasteurized at 80 ℃ for 10 minutes). The number of molds and yeasts, total viable count, Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli, coagulase-positive Staphylococcus, and the presence of foodborne pathogens, including Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Campylobacter spp. were evaluated to estimate the microbiological status of donkey milk. As expected, freezing and pasteurization reduced the number of tested microorganisms, and no examined foodborne pathogens were detected. The total viable count was reduced by 0.64 log CFU/mL by freezing and by 2.23 log CFU/mL by pasteurization. The total molds and yeasts and total Enterobacteriaceae count were significantly reduced by pasteurization. In conclusion, frozen and pasteurized donkey milk is safer than raw milk. In order to be able to recommend the best temperature treatment before consumption, the effects of freezing and pasteurization on the quality and antibacterial properties of donkey milk have to be further investigated.

Pollen contains vegetative and generative cells that influence the seed set. Accurate pollen assessments help understand the breeding biology of oilseed rape. In order to evaluate the number of pollen grains in a large number of samples, an effective method should be designed. A new method was established to evaluate the pollen counts of five oilseed rape cultivars. This method mainly relies on 5% sucrose + 0.1% agar solution to suspend the pollen and uses a standard curve corresponding to the absorbance and the number of pollen grains to estimate the number of pollen grains. The linear fit formula of this standard curve was precision, and the R2 value between the pollen count and absorbance reached 0.998. Furthermore, the variation in the pollen counts at three flowering stages and on two kinds of stamens was assessed. The pollen count per flower varied significantly among oilseed rape cultivars and flowering stages (GLM: p<0.001). Moreover, the number of pollen grains on long-stamen anthers was significantly higher than that on short-stamen anthers (GLM: p<0.001). In conclusion, we established a rapid, accurate method for quantifying pollen grains based on absorbance determined in a liquid suspension by light spectroscopy, which is a feasible method. In addition, the number of pollen grains under different physiological conditions also provides basic data for oilseed rape breeding.
