Analysis of functional requirements for the system of reclamation treatment of slopes and plains lands
Authors: Maksimov Valeriy Pavlovich , Mikhaylin Andrey Andreyevich
Published: December 2024

Over-consolidation of cultivated slope and plain lands is one of the main reasons reducing the cultivated crops yields. It also contributes to the negative effects of surface runoff and deflation, especially in southern Russia, an erosion-prone region of our country. The widespread use of plowing, no-till and intensive use of energy-intensive machinery in fields leads to accelerated land degradation. Thus, there is a constant loss of productivity, the yield shortfall amounts to an average of 25-30%. The influence of current environmental and agrotechnological conditions requires the use of chiseling with advanced energy-saving multipurpose tools capable of processing both plain fields and slope lands. The peculiarities of slope lands cultivation impose specific requirements for raising agricultural crops on slopes without manual labor using. But, today, modern designs of tillage implements do not fully solve problems in cultivating plains and slopes in the current climatic situation in southern Russia. There is a need to create a multipurpose energy-saving tool for chiseling of plains and slopes based on conceptual design. The use of conceptual design methods enables to formulate a more rational way to create tillage implements. The methodology for developing an innovative system for reclamation of cultivated slope and plain lands (SRCSPL) is based on the modern information technology development in accordance with the accepted concept of the unity of all the life cycle stages. When modeling the system evolution, the UML use case diagram is a fundamental dynamic diagram. The article presents a diagram of use cases or options for the SRCSPL using, which shows the interrelationships of functional requirements in the form of goals initiated by specific participants in the process: the customer (land user), ecologist, economist, mechanic operator, to create the SRCSPL. Using a compromise and taking into account financial and technological constraints, we determine various combinations to achieve the global goal - “Increasing the efficiency of the SRCSPL functioning”.

Authors: Zavyalova Elena Vladimirovna , Demakina Irina Igorevna
Published: December 2024

In the conditions of modern global climate warming, the analysis of its regional manifestations and impact on agriculture in order to adapt the agricultural sphere to them is becoming increasingly important. In recent years, the number of warm winters has been increasingly recorded, accompanied by an increase in winter temperatures, an increase in precipitation, but at the same time, a decrease in the depth of freezing of the soil cover. The article considers the analysis of long-term agrometeorological data, as well as the dynamics of changes in the characteristics of the winter season of the Saratov region for the period 1971-2021  due to the general trend of increasing global and regional air temperatures in recent decades. Studies have found out that the average air temperature of the winter season increased over the period from 2001 to 2021 compared with data for 1971 - 2000 by 1.0?C and began to be -7.1?C. For January and February, such an increase in air temperature reaches 1.1-0.9?C, respectively, for December – 0.5?C. The amount of winter precipitation increased by 9 mm. During the period from 2001 to 2021, the frequency of extremely warm winters increased by 2 times compared to the previous 30-year period of 1971-2000. In modern climatic conditions on the territory of the Saratov region, changes in the characteristics of the winter season are observed.

Authors: Tyranov Alexander Borisovich , Grigoriev Alexander Vladimirovich
Published: December 2024

In an improved five-field crop rotation on sod-podzolic soil (83% of arable land) in the conditions of the Novgorod region, three methods of using biofertilizers in the cultivation of forage crops on two backgrounds of mineral fertilizers and plowing straw by-products for fertilizer were studied. The double use of microbiological fertilizers Azotovite and Phosphatovite (pickling of seed material at 2 l/t and non-root spraying at 1 l/ha) when applying a complete mineral fertilizer to the projected harvest provided, on average, the best quantitative indicators of feed quality per rotation: productivity 6.0 thousand tons of feed units/ha; digestible protein 0.64 t/ha with a low energy consumption per thousand tons of feed units of 2.3 GJ and high energy efficiency of production above 5 units. The four-fold use of grain and leguminous straw as an organic fertilizer during rotation in crop rotation and the humification of crop and root residues increased the energy potential of the soil in all experimental variants by 45-96 GJ/ha.

Published: December 2024

The article examines the binary influence of various methods of soil cultivation and irrigation regimes on soil density, moisture consumption, the amount of weediness in crops and soybean yield. The largest number of weeds (13.1 pieces/m2) compared to the control was in the crop germination phase in the variant with disk tillage. The variant with nonmoldboard processing (A2) occupies an intermediate position in terms of the amount of weeds from 9.2 to 13.6 pcs/m2. Soybean crops were the least weeded in the germination phase in the variant with an irrigation regime of 60% of minimum moisture-holding capacity (B1) - 9.8 pcs./m2, in the variant with an irrigation regime of 80% of minimum moisture-holding capacity (B3) - 10.5 pcs./m2. The maximum yield of soybean crops has been established depending on the variants studied. In variants with irrigation in 2021, soybean grain yield exceeded the control by 0.76 t/ha (13.6%), in 2022 the increase was 0.55 t/ha (12.2%). The same trend was in 2023. The advantage of the binary interaction of the nonmoldboard tillage to a depth of 0.25–0.27 m and the irrigation regime with maintaining a pre-irrigation moisture threshold of 70% of minimum moisture-holding capacity was shown.

Published: December 2024

The main actuators in most models of agricultural and special equipment are hydraulic linear motion drives, united by a common system of hydraulic lines and controlled by a valve system. Despite of many advantages of this solution, such a system has low positioning accuracy and energy efficiency. An alternative to hydraulic drives are electric actuators, which solve the disadvantages described above. However, the use of such actuators in the design of agricultural machinery is limited due to low resistance to shock overloads. The most promising type of drives are electrohydraulic actuators (EHA), which allow combining the advantages of these systems. The article describes the design of an EHA with a one-sided rod, its structural and fundamental hydrokinematic diagrams are given. Mathematical and simulation modeling of EHA is described. The structure and technical characteristics of the main component of the the developed motor driver EHA are presented separately. The results of laboratory tests of the control system for an electrohydraulic linear actuator and a prototype of the EHA on the Don-1500 combine produced by Rostselmash to regulate the position of the grain harvester deck are presented. As a result of tests of the EHA prototype, it was found that the developed actuator allows achieving high speeds of movement of working elements (up to 10 mm/s) and control and positioning accuracy (up to 0.25 mm), contains protection from impact loads, and also 2.2 times superior to electric drives of actuators used in agricultural machinery.

Authors: Gaynutdinova Elza Ravilevna
Published: December 2024

Glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX-1), has a strong antioxidant effect, enzymatically forming the body's antioxidant system, protecting cells from damage during oxidative reactions, reducing hydrogen peroxide to water and lipid hydroperoxide to alcohols, resulting in a decrease in negative effects on the body. The aim of the study was to research the reproductive traits of Holstein cattle with different genotypes of the glutathione peroxidase-1 gene. The study was conducted on 231 cows of the Mukhametshin Z.Z. Peasant Farm Enterprise (PFE) in Sabinsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan. Detection of polymorphism was carried out using the PCR-RFLP method in the Physiology, Biochemistry, Genetics and Animal Nutrition Department of the TatSRIA of FRC KSC RAS. Genotyping showed that the studied population of Holstein cattle is polymorphic in the GPX-1 gene. The frequency of occurrence was as follows: for alleles C – 0.513 and T – 0,487; for genotypes CC – 22.9, TC – 56.7 and TT – 20.3 %. Analysis of the associations of polymorphic variants of the GPX-1 gene with signs of reproductive traits showed that cows that are carriers of the CC genotype of the GPX-1 gene have the best fertile qualities, are characterized by greater live weight at the first insemination - 385.1 kg, and the shortest inter-calving and service periods – 373.4 and 102.3 days respectively, a high coefficient of reproductive capacity (0.98 units) and the Doha index (50.5 units), as well as the yield of live calves per 100 cows – 92.2 heads. The information obtained can be used to improve the reproductive indicators of cattle by including animals of the CC genotype of the GPX-1 gene in animal breeding programs when planning selection events.

For the Discussion on the “Black Sea” and “Globular” Amphorae in Byzantine Taurica. Some Observations concerning Their Chronology and Attribution in the Light of New Archaeological Data
Authors: Naumenko Valerii
Published: December 2024

This article addresses the results of modern studies of the main types of transport amphorae in the Byzantine Taurica for the period of the “Dark Ages.” The analysis attracts new archaeological complexes from the Crimea, the Lower Don Area, the Taman Peninsula, and the North Caucasus containing imported “Globular” amphorae and the “Black Sea” amphorae produced in the pottery centres of the Crimean Peninsula and published over the past 15 years. The conclusion is that from the second half of the seventh to the first half of the eighth centuries, the main type of amphora products on the local market were imported Byzantine “Globular” amphorae, which continued to arrive to the Northern Black Sea Area also later, as long as the middle or the second half of the ninth century. First of all, it comes from the materials excavated at the castle of Mangup in the mountainous Crimea. However, the dominant type of transport vessels from the second half of the eighth and ninth century were the “Black Sea” amphorae of two main types: smooth-walled with zones of fine corrugation and those with a grooved body (types 1 and 2 according to A. L. Iakobson). Despite the indicative stratigraphic situation revealed in Sougdaia and Phanagoreia, there is still no need for their chronological desynchronization. The examples excavated at the ancient town of Mangup, production centres and settlements on the Southern Coast of the Crimea generally show the synchroneity in the manufacture and circulation of these types of amphorae. The “Black Sea” amphorae continued to be used in the trade of the Byzantine Taurica as long as the beginning or the first half of the tenth century. In addition to the traditional eastern direction (Taman Peninsula, Don and Azov Sea Areas), they were also largely exported to other regions of the Black Sea and, most likely, the Eastern Mediterranean. This is indicated by the finds of grooved amphorae of type 2 along the Southern and Western coasts of the Black Sea, in the port area of ​​Constantinople, and, possibly, if one pays attention to their morphological similarity to the amphorae of the Butrint 2 / Bozburun 1 / Yenikapu 12 types and the unsolved question of the centre of production of the latter, in the Aegean and the Adriatics. In conclusion, there appeared arguments that historiographic attempts in historiography to set aside the clarification of the traditional typological scheme of the development of the “Black Sea” amphorae and to replace it with the international system of their attribution are too anticipatory. As the review of the most important modern discoveries in the field of research of Mediterranean “Globular” amphorae has shown, their study is still at the stage of forming a presentable source base, which is comparable to the situation with their analogues from the Crimea.
Dragon Mirror from the South-Western Crimea
Authors: Antipenko Anna
Published: December 2024

This article publishes a metal mirror found in the southwestern Crimea. Similar to a significant part of the finds of this category, the mirror under study finds no context or monument to be reliably associated with. This circumstance, however, does not diminish the value of the artefact, since the find is distinguished by high artistic performance and a number of authentic features allowing the one to determine its chronology and cultural and historical period. The mirror under analysis is a figured “disk” with an eight-petal festooned edge, the front side of which is smoothly polished. On the reverse side there is a decoration showing two dragons, with the heads looking on the centre of the disk. This image is known on metal mirrors in the Khitan state of Liao, then becomes widespread in the Song period. For the dragon scenes, there are other variations: with one dragon playing with a pearl; with four dragons moving in a circle; with a dragon and a phoenix; a dragon and a tiger. Dragon mirrors are copies of Chinese mirrors but made by the workers in the Golden Horde. The find in question meets with analogies in the sites from the second half of the thirteenth and fourteenth century. Bronze mirrors from mediaeval states of the Far East were made by casting. Then, irregularities and casting seams were removed from the surface of the artefact. The mirror side was grinded, polished, and amalgamated with a mixture of mercury and tin. The material used in the making of the find from the south-western Crimea was tin-lead bronze with a high tin content (21.8%), which correlates with the results of elemental analysis of mirrors of the Golden Horde period uncovered in other monuments.
Counterfeit Late-sixteenth-century Tyrolean Thaler from the South-eastern Crimea
Authors: Alekseenko N.
Published: December 2024

This article discusses a counterfeit Tyrolean thaler of the Erzherzog Ferdinand of Austria (1564–1595) minted in the period contemporary to him and discovered in the south-eastern Crimea (in the environs of the modern village of Grushevka, Sudak administrative area). This is high-quality counterfeit of a large-denomination European coin, made with a unique technology of soldering silver plates onto a base metal blank. Along with other counterfeits and authentic examples of foreign coins discovered in the Crimea, this find shows that the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century money of various European issuers penetrated to the peninsula, and that, apparently, in the Early Modern Period, foreign currency took part in the coin circulation in the Taurica in this or that way along with the coins minted by the Crimean khans and Ottoman sultans.
Christianization of the Goths in the Region of Dory
Authors: Aybabin Aleksandr
Published: December 2024

The sixth-century Byzantine historian Procopius placed the Gothic region of Dory (Δόρυ) in the south-western Crimea. Procopius kept silence religious views of the inhabitants of Dory. Undoubtedly, they confessed Christianity, “like other Gothic peoples.” As written sources contain no reliable information about the existence of a Gothic diocese in the mountainous Crimea from the fourth to sixth century, the date when Christianity started spreading among the barbarians of the south-western Crimea is to uncovered by the materials of excavations of the cemeteries they created. Archaeological materials suggest that Gothic and Alan Christian communities emerged in the mountainous Crimea from the late-fourth century on: they imported amphorae with dipinti εὐλογία and τρυγία with wine used at divine service. Apparently, the Christianization of the borderland “barbarians” intensified after the Emperor Theodosius I issued edicts in 380 and 381, proclaiming the Nicene Creed of Christianity as the only state religion and equated church structures with state institutions. From the first half of the sixth century on, the inhabitants of the region of Dori buried their dead in their lifetime, usually ceremonial clothing, together with individual objects of Christian worship which the deceased wore during life. The churches excavated atop of the plateau of Mangup and near its foot, in the Karalez Ravine, are usually attributed to the construction activity of the age of the Emperor Justinian I (527–565).

Authors: Lomakin Dmitry
Published: December 2024

This article has systematized the experience in research of mediaeval historical and archaeological monuments located in the modern village of Pionerskoe near Simferopol, primarily Eski-Dzhami mosque and the ruins of, presumably, caravanserai. The current stage of research produced numerous hypotheses, often contradicting each other and based both on scientific facts and on groundless guesses. This study is aimed at the elimination of the gaps in the history of research of the said objects from the last quarter of the eighteenth century on. It widely uses the writings of many travellers who visited the Crimean Peninsula both for personal reasons and by office duty (A. N. Demidov, F. Dubois de Montpereux, Ch. Montandon, P. S. Pallas, P. I. Sumarokov, and others), and also academic publications by Russian researchers of ancient monuments (B. N. Zasypkin, E. D. Zilivinskaia, V. P. Kirilko, A. L. Iakobson, and others). Historical sources from earlier period (the works of Evliya Çelebi and others) and materials from the map collection of the A. Kh. Steven Taurica Scholarly Library at the Central Museum of the Taurida (Simferopol) are also attracted. The main stages of the research of the monuments have been determined, and the experience of monument identification in the Russian scholarship has been summarized. The first attempts to preserve and protect architectural sites related to the works of the Taurida Scholarly Archival Commission in the late-nineteenth century have been characterized. The experience of archaeological research of the mosque has been presented.
Crimea on the 1914 Congress of the Representatives of the Governorate Scholarly Archival Commissions
Authors: Nepomniashchy Andrei
Published: December 2024

The governorate public archival societies (commissions) established in Russia from 1884 on possessed an uncertain status and problematic financial situation, which lead to further “archival disorder” and the loss of documents important for the history of Russian provinces. Russia several times attempted to make an archival reform by subordinating provincial archives to central institutions. The next stage in the implementation of this idea was the transfer of methodological guidance over public provincial archivists from the St Petersburg Archaeological Institute to the Russian Historical Society (1912). On May 1914, the latter organized the congress of the representatives of the scholarly archival commissions and the corresponding institutions to attract the representatives of 31 academic archival institution from the most regions of the Russian Empire. For the first time, this forum made those who participated in the creation of provincial archives to discuss the questions challenged by the local scholarly societies and to offer particular measures capable of improving the situation. A. I. Markevich as the chair of the Taurida Scholarly Archival Commission represented the Taurida governorate. The author of the article has introduced into the scholarship two previously unknown papers by the leader of Crimean regional studies addressing the state of archival affairs in the peninsula. They are extraordinary important as an historical source on the Taurida Scholarly Archival Commission and on the acquisition to the governorate’s historical archive in Simferopol. The persistence of the local archival activists resulted in the significant increase of state subsidies and the granting of one-time allowances for the organization of archival services in governorate centres. The First World War prevented the realization of the further plans for archival reform.

The Northwest Necropolis Church in Hadrianopolis, one of the cities of the Paphlagonia,
is located southwest of the central area, 20 m northwest of the Bath B. Started 2017, excavations at the
Northwest Necropolis Church were completed in 2021. The south and apse wall of the church came today
at the foundation level, while the north and west came today at a height ranging between 1 m and 2 m. It is
understood that the walls of the building were heavily damaged because of agricultural activities. Due to
the extensive destruction of the body wall, no trace of the location, dimensions and position of the windows
could be found. The only data about the windows are fragments of the windowpanes discovered during the
excavations. Fragments of the windowpanes were unearthed in large quantities. The edges of some of the
windowpanes were examined to get ideas about the frame. In addition, the paste residues that came today
on the edges of some fragments were analyzed in lab to determine the ingredients. In this study, in the
light of all datas, how the illumination in the Northwest Necropolis Church could have been, the technique
with which the windowpanes were made, how many windows openings could be in which direction, in
interpretation of the analysis results and the color scale were mentioned.
SOCIAL-SATISFACTION LEVEL OF WORKING AND NON-WORKING WOMEN
Authors: Pukhrambam Chitra Devi
Published: December 2024

Women have always played a crucial role from the beginning of human civilisation to the present. The foundation of women's empowerment is the capacity to take advantage of opportunities to question accepted conventions and enhance one's life, and education offers precisely that merely because it provides women with the resources they require to transform their lives for the better. It influences not just our immediate and extended families, but also the next generation by opening up new avenues for growth and development. The level of social happiness felt by working women and unemployed women will be the focus of this study. This study has chosen to employ the normative survey approach as its methodology. The sample consists of 150 employed women and 150 jobless women from the Imphal East District of Manipur. George Joseph and Dr. (Mrs.) Promila Singh created the L-S Scale, a structured questionnaire for gauging life satisfaction. You can thank this questionnaire for helping with the data collection process. We used the percentage approach to look at how happy working women and non-working women were with society using the L-S Scale. Consequently, we looked at how happy women were in their social lives, both those who worked and those who did not. Achieving higher positions in the work market and having influence over decision-making bodies are both possible for women who have completed their schooling. Achieving scholastic success and financial stability allows women to adapt to their social environments, which in turn brings them a sense of fulfilment.

FROM REACTIVE TO PROACTIVE: HOW COVID-19 TRANSFORMED CONSUMER BEHAVIOR IN HEALTH INSURANCE MARKETS
Authors: Kondapally Chyavana , Reddy M Vikram , Kumar B. Mohan
Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the consumer behavior worldwide, they affect every industry and healthcare insurance industry is no exception. From the given scenario, this paper discusses how the pandemic played its role in changing consumer attitudes and behaviors regarding the health insurance domain from being post-symptomatic to pre-symptomatic. Before the outbreak of the pandemic, most consumers still saw health insurance as an additional product, which was only desirable during sick or emergencies. Though the idea was slightly promoted prior to the health crisis, the consumers made a massive shift of playing an active role in demanding coverage and policy explanations. The potential drivers for this change are addressed in the study, such as enhanced health consciousness, the risk of growing costs of healthcare and the necessity to prepare for an unpredictable healthcare future. Based on the results of the surveys and the interviews with the consumers, insurance providers, and other industry gurus, this paper seek to assess the changes in the consumer decision making process with particular focus on the value of the health insurance during the pandemic period. Moreover, it explores the ways through which the availability of the insurance products and services can be boosted through digital technology platforms. The study also shows that COVID-19 has not only fast-forwarded this change but has also altered the future behavior of consumers- with a focus towards health insurance, preventive health measures, and financial vulnerability. Thus, this paper fills a gap in the existing literature concerning the phenomenon of crises and how they may reconfigure consumer markets with a relevance in fields of health and financial solutions.

Published: December 2024

This research paper explores the judicial trends in environmental law with a particular focus on environmental protection as observed in 1986. The year marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of environmental jurisprudence, reflecting a significant shift in how courts approached environmental issues. Key judicial developments from 1986 reveal an increased recognition of environmental rights and the judiciary's growing role in enforcing environmental regulations. This period saw a rise in landmark cases that emphasized the importance of environmental sustainability and the need for rigorous legal mechanisms to address pollution and ecological harm. The paper reviews notable judgments from 1986, analysing their impact on environmental law and policy, and examines how these judicial trends contributed to the strengthening of environmental protection frameworks. The analysis underscores the critical role of the judiciary in shaping environmental governance and highlights the continuing relevance of these early trends in contemporary environmental law.

Authors: Kumar Praveen , Ranawat Mahendra
Published: December 2024

Given the complexity and sophistication of India's economy, especially, the efficiency of monetary transmission in the country has drawn greats interest. Under this study, a sectoral analysis is conducted to understand how changes in monetary policy affect many spheres of the economy. This analysis also underlines the variations in gearbox systems. The intensity of financial inclusion, intensity of dependency on formal credit, and intensity of which each sector is linked with the whole economy describe few structural variables that characterize the degree of sensitivity of some sectors variation in policy. For sectors like manufacturing and services, that are based on credit, for instance, show more sensitivity monetary actions than usually self-financed companies like agriculture. Moreover, underscored by the research is the relevance of institutional and commercial factors in determining the dissemination of policy. Many factors play important roles:effectiveness of financial intermediation; the consistency of interest rates; and the interval of time separating policy execution from its consequences.

After selecting the appropriate pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical methods according to the type of ore used in copper production, electrometallurgical refining processes are applied to reach the desired purity level. When mechanical activation processes are applied before reduction processes, they have changed the traditional workflow scheme in many processes by both shortening the process and reducing energy consumption. This study constitutes the first stage of the direct reduction of chalcopyrite in the presence of carbon and quicklime. The mixture consisting of biochar, quicklime and concentrated chalcopyrite was mixed in a stoichiometric ratio and over-ground in a spex type mill for different periods of time. Changes in the physical structure of the over-ground mixture were examined by XRD, SEM and EDX images. XRD images showed that there was a large amount of amorphization in the crystal structure as a result of excessive grinding of the material for 60 minutes. According to the DLS analysis results, it was observed that the grain size decreased to 5240 nm due to increasing grinding time.
