The Future of Artificial Intelligence in English Language Teaching: Pros and Cons of ChatGPT Implementation through a Systematic Review
Authors: H. Al-khresheh Mohammad
Published: October 2024

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into language instruction has presented new opportunities, with ChatGPT emerging as a promising tool for interactive and personalized learning. This systematic review examines the effectiveness, advantages, and drawbacks of the ChatGPT in English language teaching (ELT). To achieve this objective, peer-reviewed studies published between 2023 and 2024 were sourced from the Web of Science database and focused on those that explored ChatGPT for language instruction. Using standardized criteria, data extraction covered the study design, participants, interventions, outcomes, and quality assessments. The findings indicate that the ChatGPT significantly improves language teaching by providing personalized feedback, fostering learner autonomy, enhancing student motivation and engagement, and facilitating specific language skills. Moreover, its ability to simulate real-life conversations makes it an effective tool to improve language fluency and comprehension. Nevertheless, challenges have been highlighted, such as overreliance on AI, academic dishonesty, skill deterioration, biases in AI-generated content, and the digital divide affecting access to AI technology. Integrating AI into existing educational frameworks and addressing the need for teacher training have also emerged as significant concerns. The implications are provided based on these findings.
The Impact of AI on Enhancing Students’ Intercultural Communication Competence at the University Level: A Review Study
Authors: Klimova Blanka , Hua Chen Jui
Published: October 2024

This systematic review explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in enhancing intercultural communication competence (ICC) at the university level. As AI increasingly integrates into educational settings, its potential to revolutionize student learning and cultural interactions is profound. The review synthesizes findings from 11 empirical studies conducted globally, assessing the impact of AI-driven tools, such as chatbots and virtual reality simulations, on students' ability to handle cultural differences. While AI offers significant benefits in personalizing learning and fostering immersive cultural experiences, challenges remain, particularly in ensuring cultural sensitivity and addressing inequalities in technology access. The review stresses the need for careful integration of AI in education, cautioning the audience about potential pitfalls and emphasizing the importance of human oversight to reduce biases and enhance cultural understanding. The pedagogical implications stress the importance of blending AI with traditional teaching methods to create inclusive learning environments that prepare students for globalized society's demands. The review also identifies areas for future research, including the long-term impact of AI on ICC and the ethical considerations surrounding AI use in education. In the end, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on AI's role in shaping the future of intercultural education.

Collaborative Commentary: A New and Innovative Tool for Language Commentary and Analysis
Authors: F. Kroll Judith , E. Dussias Paola
Published: October 2024

The goal of this article is to introduce the Collaborative Commentary (CC) tool and explain how it can be used in conjunction with the many TalkBank shared databases to enhance research and teaching in many areas of language study. The CC tool and its features are described in a detailed example of an assignment for an introductory course on language development. Students are able to join a CC group set up by their instructor, open specific transcripts in the CHILDES database, watch an interaction on video, follow the interaction in the transcript, and insert comments or codes directly into the transcript which are only available to members of that CC group. Additional examples of teaching, research, and clinical applications are given for using CC with other TalkBank shared databases such as AphasiaBank, TBIBank, DementiaBank, FluencyBank, and ClassBank. CC is an innovative tool that opens the rich resources of the TalkBank shared databases for a variety of purposes. Instructors can use CC to give students the opportunity to apply what they are learning by identifying behaviors such as those associated with typical dysfluencies versus stuttering or typical language development versus late talking that they are learning about in academic classes. Clinical instructors can have students practice scoring various tests or describe the techniques used in a particular treatment program. Researchers can use CC to debate theories on language, refine definitions of commonly used terms, establish coding reliability, and code behaviors of interests such as gestures, errors, coherence, macrostructure, and pragmatics. The CC tool can open up many exciting new ways to investigate language in many disciplines.

Updated Tables for Career Duration, Worklife Expectancy, and Estimated Lifetime Earnings for Persons With and Without Disability in Australia
Authors: Athanasou James
Published: October 2024

This report updates tables for the worklife and earning capacity of persons aged 20 to 64 years with and without disabilities in Australia. The estimates are derived from the latest official statistics, namely _Life Tables, Australia_ and _Disability, ageing and carers, Australia_. Employment rates for males and females with profound-severe, moderate, mild or no disability were applied to estimates of longevity from ages 20-64. Analogous estimates were provided for those with a schooling or employment restriction. Overall the worklife for persons with a schooling or employment restrictions was around one-half to just under two-thirds that of those with no disability and lifetime earnings around one-quarter to one-third of those with no disability. Tables for earning capacity assessments are provided. The assumptions and limitations of this approach were outlined especially in relation to the generalisabilty of findings. It was concluded that the economic loss suffered through a disability is likely to be quite large.
On Some Questions of the Czechoslovak-German Relations in Recent History
Authors: Šnejdárek Antonín
Published: October 2024

In the recent history of Europe, after the French Revolution, three major attempts were made to organize Europe based on the decisions of the leading powers. Right after the Napoleonic Wars, the Congress of Vienna tried not only to determine the borders between different European countries, but also to create a permanent organization of the great powers or their leading and ruling circles. As is known, the Holy Alliance was the determining force of international relations for almost two generations, and only the revolution in 1848 shook this factor once and for all and started a new era development of the European continent.
At the Berlin Congress in the seventies of the last century, above all the question of the new organization of southern and south-eastern Europe, which with showed urgency after the collapse of Turkey's decisive influence and the emergence of a united Italy. An agreement was also reached at this congress, which the ruling circles of European powers decided the fate of this part of Europe.
The Code of Armed Conflicts at the Turn of the Millennium
Authors: Ondřej Jan
Published: October 2024

Nowadays an armed conflict need not necessarily be a war in the international sense of the word. The Jour Geneva Conventions, dating back to 1949, plus the two Supplementary Protocols of 1977 concerning the protection of the victims of armed conflicts react to the fact that armed conflicts can be of a different nature.
These agreements cover all cases of a declared war or any armed conflict between two or more contracting parties, as well as cases when the state of war is not recognized by one of these parties. As distinct from the classic code of war, the current code of armed conflicts pertains even to armed conflicts which are not of an international nature. In international armed conflicts, it is not permitted to employ all types of means and methods of waging them. One of the general rules of the code of armed conflicts bans the use of weapons, ammunition, materials, and methods of waging war which by their very nature inflict excessive suffering or needless pain. Those who are to be protected are above all the combatants. The second general rule is the principle of a ban on making distinctions; this is significant for the protection of the civilian population. Under this principle, the civilian population and their property must not be the target of attack. Attacks must be confined to military objects alone.
However, a broad interpretation of what is and what is not a military object can result in the justification of attacks (for example, attacks by air) directed against any property (e.g. also civilian) and against civilians. This applies to situations where entire systems (for example, the transport system) are the target of attack, and where even a number of civilian objects are hit. However, this interpretation is in contradiction with the pertinent provisions of the Supplementary Protocol of 1977.
Failure to adhere to the rules of armed conflicts places an international legal responsibility on the state. Moreover, individual persons, too, bear a criminal responsibility. The responsibility of individual persons can be based on internal political jurisdiction but can also arise under international law. As a rule, only an international tribunal can give an objective judgment and possibly pass a sentence on whoever is responsible for the serious violation of the rules of armed conflicts. In the 1990s a Tribunal was set up to deal with crimes committed on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. In the same way, the statute on the establishment of an International Court of Justice in 1998, just like the Tribunal for crimes committed on the territory of the former Yugoslavia, embraces war crimes as well.
The Positions of the Slovak Public and Political Elites Regarding Foreign Policy and European Integration
Authors: Šmihula Daniel
Published: October 2024

In Czechoslovakia, after 1989 there was no clarity on the foreign political orientation of the state. This was also the result of the existence of Jive or six concepts that had arisen in connection with Central Europe in Europe, in the US and the USSR.
In the end, the concept of the selective admission of certain designated post-socialist countries to NATO and the EU triumphed in Western Europe. When analysing foreign political considerations in Slovakia one cannot overlook the earlier experiences of the Slovak population. The Slovaks had been compelled for years to adopt a defensive attitude towards assimilation trends by foreign nations. The attitude towards the Hungarians appears to be of key significance as this was the primary foreign element against which the Slovaks had to stand up. This is the reason for continuing isolationist trends in Slovakia. At the same time, they have no tradition of their own statehood. The Slovaks were involved in the foreign policy of states to which the Slovaks belonged, certain Slovaks were even Ministers of Foreign Affairs, but Slovak politicians never carried responsibilities on their own, without politicians from the partner states as part of a common state.
The policy vis-à-vis the other nations of the Habsburg monarchy – Hungary and Czechoslovakia – was regarded as the primary “international policy”. Slovakia had a positive image neither in the US nor in Western Europe, it was merely in the shadow of its neighbours. But the decisive factors of the integration fiasco in 1997 were the personal attitudes of the then Prime Minister as well as of his colleagues, and the concentration of the ruling elite on the distribution of property as part of the privatization process. Outright opponents of integration in the EU and NATO include only the political underground and, to some extent, also the Slovak National Party, SNS. The other parliamentary parties support integration in their programmes. But in the case of HZDS, interest in integration only went to the limit where acceptance of the rules applying in the EU did not endanger the division of the privatization cake. The Democratic Party is an enthusiastic supporter of integration. In this party, it is a question of ideological support. This party at times finds itself in a position where it is unofficially accused of paying more attention to “Western” interests than to Slovak interests.
In backing membership in the EU and NATO, the Party of the Democratic Left and the Party of Civic Understanding proceed from an analysis of the situation and explain it by rational arguments on benefits for Slovakia. The Hungarian Coalition Party sees in integration in the EU a certain form of unification with the Hungarians and Hungary, in Romania and elsewhere.
Ukraine and Oil
Authors: Sjusko Ivan , Ustič Ivan
Published: October 2024

In 1997–1998, Ukraine was described with increasing frequency as the key factor of stability in the new Europe. For objective reasons, Ukraine cannot attempt to become a world power but it can become a significant regional factor.
However, long-term and stable national and state interests, mainly economic and social, must become the foundations of its policy. And it is precisely from this point of view that the pattern of its endeavours to promote cooperation with countries around the Black and Caspian Sea must be seen; the objective of these endeavours is to consolidate the national energy security and to diversify the sources of energy raw material supplies (mainly oil) in such a way that the country should extricate itself from exclusive dependence on oil supplies from Russia. This applies first and foremost to the Ukrainian-Turkish project of the Ceyhan-Samsun pipeline, part of which i s also the construction of the Odessa oil terminal and the Odessa-Brody-Adamowa zastawa pipeline.
Ukraine is, furthermore, a significant oil transit country to Central and Western Europe, since two systems of transit pipelines – the Druzhba and the Pridnepetrovskaja – lead across its territory; more than half of all Russian oil exports flow through these systems every year. In addition, the Ukrainian-Hungarian ethylene pipeline and one branch of the product pipeline for the transportation of finished oil products also lead across this territory. In actual fact, the Ukrainian problem does not boil down to the sources from which energy raw materials (mainly oil) can be extracted but how to pay for them. Ukraine nowadays lacks resources and that is why it would prefer to pay for its supplies in the form of transit services.
Even attempts by the Ukrainian government to privatize the biggest state refineries were unsuccessful. Yet, the capacity of Ukrainian refineries is not fully exploited, their equipment is obsolete, and because of a shortage of finances the extraction of the country’s own oil is not even being developed.

A review of conceptual theories on the nature of academic fraud
Authors:   Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University, Syzdykbayeva А.D. , Abdigapbarova U.M. ,   Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University
Published: October 2024

The review-descriptive article examines the phenomenon of “academic dishonesty” and conceptual theories of its origin. The authors consider self-efficacy theory, self-determination theory, achievement goal theory, self-determination theory, goal achievement theory, planned behaviour theory, operant conditioning theory, crime theory, neutralization theory, expected value theory, and rational choice theory. According to the self-efficacy theory of A. Bandura theory, learners who are unsure of their knowledge and skills, irrespective of their previous achievements, cheat. The self-determination theory of E.L. Deci and R.M. Ryan sense of unmet basic psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and connectedness to others increases the likelihood of academic fraud. J.G. Nicholls’ goal attainment theory determines that learners who seek to avoid demonstrating poor performance are more likely to commit academic fraud. Within I. Ajzen’s theory of planned behaviour the intention to act dishonestly can be explained by the student’s own attitude to academic dishonesty, the subjective norms adopted in the educational environment in which he or she is placed and the subjective assessment of the ease of committing dishonest acts. Operant conditioning theory determines that if an act (i.e. academic fraud) has been performed successfully, it is more likely to be repeated. In the theory of crime, academic fraud is seen as dishonest behaviour by learners during learning activities. Factors influencing the prevalence and frequency of dishonest behaviour of learners have been identified, such as low self-control, the possibility of committing academic fraud, and the presence of positive attitudes towards dishonest behaviour. According to the neutralization theory of G.M. Sykes, and D. Matza dishonest practices of learners are explained by the fact that they do not consider them as cheating but as morally acceptable phenomena. G.S. Becker’s expectation-value theory and rational choice theory view academic dishonesty as a rational and weighted decision made by students themselves, i.e., in terms of possible costs and benefits to them (economic approach).

Background and Aim: Intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs) are rare tumors of the spine. The study aims to analyze the clinical profile and surgical management of IMSCTs. Methods and Materials/Patients: This is a retrospective study to review the IMSCTs operated between January 2007 to December 2021. Myxopapillary ependymomas were excluded from the study. Results: There were twenty-seven operated cases of IMSCTs. The Mean±SD age was 39±22 years. Fifteen (55.5%) were males and 12(44.5%) were female patients. There were 6(22%) cervical, 7(26%) cervicodorsal, 9 (33%) dorsal, and 5(19%) dorsolumbar IMSCTs. The Mean±SD duration of symptoms was 10±14 months. Ten (37%) patients had spinal cord syrinx. Motor weakness and pain were the most common symptoms. Intraoperative gross total resection (GTR) was achieved in 12(44.4%) patients, near-total resection in 4(14.8%) patients, subtotal resection in 2(7.4%) patients, decompression in 7(26%) patients, and biopsy in 2(7.4%) patients. Eighteen (66.6%) patients had neurological status same as preoperative status. Four (14.8%) patients had improvement and 5(18.5%) patients had deterioration in neurological status. Ependymoma was the most common histological type of IMSCT (40.5%). Other lesions are glioma, hemangioblastoma, lipoma, schwannoma, lymphoma, capillary hemangioma, arachnoid cyst, and epidermoid cyst with spinal dysraphism. Ependymomas had well-defined margins compared to other gliomas. Duration of stay in the hospital was 9±3.5 days. Conclusion: Dorsal spine is the most common location of IMSCTs and ependymoma is the most common histological type. It is the surgeon’s intraoperative decision regarding the extent of resection of the tumor based on the spinal cord infiltration and tumor type. GTR is possible in the majority of ependymomas and some other histological tumors like schwannoma, arachnoid cyst, and epidermoid cyst.

This systematic review aimed to investigate the impact of telenursing on self-efficacy among patients who have experienced myocardial infarctions. The study conducted a comprehensive search of international electronic databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science, spanning from the earliest available records to September 15, 2023. The search used keywords derived from Medical Subject Headings, specifically "telenursing", "self-efficacy", and "myocardial infarction". Additionally, Iranian databases such as Iranmedex and Scientific Information Database were consulted. The quality assessment of included studies, which consisted of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies, was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute's (JBI) critical assessment checklist. The review included a total of five studies involving 478 diabetic patients. Among these patients, 74.32% were female, and 52.00% were allocated to the intervention group. The average age of the participants was 48.76 (SD=7.48) years. The mean duration of the studies and their respective follow-up periods were 32.80 and 12.80 weeks, respectively. Furthermore, the average duration of the telenursing intervention was 23.33 minutes. The findings of this review indicated that telenursing can be an effective method for enhancing self-efficacy among patients. The study suggests that healthcare managers and policymakers should consider establishing a platform that not only incorporates telenursing via phone calls but also incorporates alternative methods like video calls. This approach should aim to balance the costs associated with these different methods to ensure accessibility for all individuals. Consequently, alongside traditional telephone-based telenursing, other modalities can be integrated to promote self-efficacy.
INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN THE CONDITIONS OF GLOBAL TRANSFORMATIONS
Authors: Bezditnyi Volodymyr
Published: October 2024

International trade is undergoing significant changes due to the introduction of new technologies, innovations, various economic uncertainties, geopolitical shifts and cultural transformations. New prospects are emerging for many companies and alliances, but at the same time, potential risks are emerging, prompting international market participants to look for ways to avoid problems for themselves. Taken together, this forms the current state of international trade with all its advantages and disadvantages. This is the reason for the relevance of the study, as we need to understand the state of international trade in the context of global transformations in the context of constant changes. That is why the purpose of this research is to determine the specifics of the impact of global transformations on the landscape of international trade and business, to characterise changes in trade policy under the influence of global transformations, and to identify the main trends and risks that shape the future of international trade. In accordance with the defined research objective, we used the following research methods: general philosophical method, method of system analysis, synthesis, dialectical method, methods of deduction and induction. Together, these methods contributed to a detailed analysis of the issues raised and the formation of a theoretical framework for future research.
Research on the Integration of Ideological and Political Education with Professional Practice Teaching for Undergraduates
Authors: An Junxia
Published: October 2024

Ideological and political education is a valuable tradition and unique political advantage of our country. It is also a crucial tool for universities to maintain the correct political direction, accomplish the fundamental task of cultivating moral character, and train youth with the "Four Virtues" in the new era. In the context of unprecedented changes in a century, with increasingly complex internal and external environments, it is urgent to further strengthen ideological and political education for undergraduates. Ideological and political education is not an abstract concept; it must be closely integrated with professional practice teaching to maximize its effectiveness. How to better promote the in-depth integration of these two aspects in terms of concepts, content, carriers, and models, and how to find effective entry points and integration paths, has always been a challenging issue in the field. Based on this, this paper explores the relationship between ideological and political education and professional practice teaching from a theoretical perspective, outlines the significance of their integration, analyzes current difficulties and issues in teaching, and proposes integration paths focusing on concepts, infrastructure, reform and innovation, methods, and team building. It is hoped that this paper will provide some references for the field.
A Study on the Phonetic Symbols of Action Characters in Shuowen · Renbu
Authors: Lu Junjie
Published: October 2024

The study of Chinese philology has always been of interest to Sinologists worldwide. As a pictographic script, Chinese characters are divided into independent meaningful single-font character and composite characters made up of multiple elements. Some composite characters are formed by combining a meaningful symbol with a phonetic symbol, which are known as "semantic-phonetic characters (pictophonetic characters)". We have discovered that some semantic-phonetic characters also convey meaning, and the meanings they express belong to certain categories, reflecting the psychology of the people who created the characters and the cultural features of the Han ethnic group. In this article, we will conduct a thorough exploration of the behavior-related characters in Shuowen·Renbu, a monumental ancient Chinese work.

Evolutionary Algorithm for the Earliness - Tardiness Project Scheduling Problem
Authors: Nguyen Thi Hao
Published: October 2024

Completing too early or too late can cause damage to the project. For example, in transporting goods to the seaports, if the shipping arrives too early, it will take time and cost to stay at the dock. In the other case, shipping too late will reduce the quality of the product and break the contract. The goal of this paper is to minimize the tardiness and earliness of those projects. First, some related studies are briefly introduced, thereby showing the role and practical applications of the MS-RCPSP (Multi-Skill Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem) problem and the two factors of earliness and delay in scheduling problems. The roles of earliness and tardiness in scheduling problems are also described. At the same time, the new contribution of this research is also highlighted, which is the proposal for the latest problem E-RCPSP (Earliness tardiness MS-RCPSP). This problem is the first problem in the MS-RCPSP family that considers the sum of earliness and tardiness as the objective, which has never been considered in previous studies. Then, the mathematical model of the proposed E-RCPSP problem, which includes the objective function, project components and constraints is introduced. To solve the proposed problem, two approximate algorithms based on the evolutionary algorithms GA (Genetic Algorithm) and DE (Differential Evolution) are introduced. In the last section of the article, the performance of these two algorithms is verified and compared with each other through experiments conducted on the iMOPSE benchmark dataset.}\Keywords{Network Resources Management, Earliness-Tardiness cost, Resource-constrained project scheduling, Evolutionary Algorithms, Differential evolution algorithms.

In the feed production system of the Lower Volga region, more than 60% of forage crops are located on irrigated lands. Only these lands can be considered a guaranteed source of sustainable food supply. More than 80% of the feed from their gross production is harvested from irrigated lands, therefore, studies on the dependence of the feed value of sandy esparcet on leaf fertilizing are certainly relevant. The aim of the research was to increase the efficiency of esparcet cultivation in the conditions of the Lower Volga region by improving the use of mineral fertilizers. Experiments to study the dependence of the feed value of esparcet in the form of green mass on leaf fertilizing with water-soluble mineral fertilizers were conducted from 2017 to 2023 on irrigation in the zone of light chestnut soils in the Prigorodnoye SEC of the Svetloyarsky district of the Volgograd region. Mineral fertilizers were applied in the form of leaf fertilizing during the period of active growth of the esparcet according to the following schemes: 1. Control (without leaf dressing); 2. Monophosphate at the rate of 0.5 kg/ha per top dressing; 3. Monophosphate with adhesive at the rate of 0.5 kg/ha per top dressing. As a result of the experiments conducted, it was found that in the variant using potassium monophosphate, the yield of the green mass of the Rusich variety was 8.2 t/ha, or 18.8% more, and in the variant using potassium monophosphate with an adhesive by 11.7 t/ha, or 26.8% more compared to the control variant. The largest accumulation of feed units of 12.8 t/ha was found in the Rusich variety on the variant of leaf fertilizing with potassium monophosphate with an adhesive, which turned out to be 0.6 t/ha more than in the experiment from 2017 to 2019. The highest content of digestible protein of 2.21 t/ha was found in the Rusich variety on a variant of leaf fertilizing with potassium monophosphate with an adhesive. The largest amount of metabolic energy of 101.7 GJ was contained in the Rusich variety on a variant of leaf fertilizing with potassium monophosphate with an adhesive. The lowest amount of metabolic energy was contained in the Sandy 22 variety in the control variant without leaf fertilizing and averaged 70.3 GJ for 2021-2023.

This work presents the results of experimental tests of the presented samples and associated variable combinations of soil mixtures. The purpose of the study was to determine the possibility of using sapropel deposits of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain as an element that increases growth characteristics and affects plant immunity. We selected the soil environment of the dry-steppe zone of light chestnut soils, the fertile potential of which is at low levels, but have the ability to respond easily and qualitatively to the introduction of reclamation components when creating favorable conditions. The research is aimed at stabilizing soil components through the use of sapropel deposits of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain. According to the formation features, these deposits are distinguished from the entire zonality of the Lower Volga region, since The natural-territorial complex of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain is an independent object and has a distinctive agrocenosis from the belonging zonality. The experimental studies carried out revealed certain plant parameters that were affected by certain components of the prepared soil samples. The use of sapropel deposits of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain in combination with light chestnut type soil showed the best research results (factor 1 and factor 2). In conditions of habitat oppression due to artificial infection of Fusarium avenaceum Fa- 1, meadow Bluegrass plants, namely the option with the introduction of the proposed sapropel deposits (AED), shows the best result. The survival rate of plants in this variant was 99%, whereas in the control it was 37%. The conducted research is updated, as it contributes to the search for methods of combating pathogenic organisms at the expense of the natural resource potential of the planet.

In modern conditions, the most effective way to increase the gross production of spring barley is to select the most productive varieties and realize their potential productivity by improving the technology of cultivation of spring barley for specific soil and climatic conditions of the zone. In this regard, the improvement of the complex of agricultural practices that increase the yield of barley is relevant and of particular scientific and practical interest. The purpose of the research was to improve the techniques of basic tillage and the use of growth regulators in the cultivation of spring malting barley. The research was conducted from 2022 to 2024 in the Moscow region at the experimental field of the Federal Research Center "Nemchinovka". The soil is sod-podzolic, heavy loamy. pH is 5.4 units. The humus content is 1.7%. As a result, on average for 2022-2024, observations of the spread of weeds in malting barley crops found that the smallest number of all weeds was fixed on the variant of chisel processing by Ranch workers with pruning paws to a depth of 0.27-0.30 m and amounted to 154 pcs/case. The highest height of brewing barley plants of the Reliable variety on average for 2022-2024 turned out to be on the variant of chisel tillage m without the use of growth regulators and was 69 cm. The largest number of productive stems was established on the variant of chisel tillage to a depth of 0.27-0.30 m without the use of a growth regulator and amounted to 498 pcs./m2, that is, 51 pcs./m2 more than the lowest value. The largest grain mass in the ear was set on a variant of chisel tillage to a depth of 0.27-0.30 m using the growth regulator Moddus CE at a dose of 0.4 l /ha and was equal to 1.25 grams, that is, 0.17 grams more than the lowest value. The highest yield was also formed on the variant of chisel processing by the working body of the Ranch with pruning paws to a depth of 0.27-0.30 m using the growth regulator Moddus CE at a dose of 0.4 l /ha and averaged 6.10 t/ha.
