Published: October 2024

The thyroid gland, one of the largest endocrine organs, plays a key role in regulating metabolism. Early detection of thyroid diseases significantly lowers mortality rates.Diagnosing these diseases traditionally relies on the expertise of radiologists and pathologists, but this paper demonstrates that deep learning techniques offer a promising solution for automatic detection.The study introduces a novel approach that uses two pre-operative medical imaging techniques to classify different thyroid conditions, including normal, thyroiditis, cystic, and cancer. Utilizing a cutting -edge CNN, the model achieved high accuracy-0.972 for ultrasound images and 0.942 for CT scans. These result show the potential of CNN models in medical imaging, suggesting they could be used more broadly in clinical setting.

Cryptocurrency is one of the famous financial state in all over the world which cause several type of risks that effect on the intrinsic assessment of risk auditors. From the beginning the growth of cryptocurrency gives the financial business with the wide risk in term of presentation of money laundering. In the institution of financial supports such as anti-money laundering, banks and secrecy of banks proceed as a specialist of risk, manager of bank and officer of compliance which has a provocation for the related transaction through cryptocurrency and the users who hide the illegal funds.In this study, the Hierarchical Risk Parity and unsupervised machine learning applied on the cryptocurrency framework. The process of professional accounting in term of inherent risk connected with cryptocurrency regarding the occurrence likelihood and statement of financial impact. Determining cryptocurrency risks comprehended to have a high rate of occurrence likelihood and the access of private key which is unauthorized. The professional cryptocurrency experience in transaction cause the lower risk comparing the less experienced one. The Hierarchical Risk Parity gives the better output in term of returning the adjusted risk tail to get the better risk management result.The result section shows the proposed model is robust to various intervals which are re-balanced and the co-variance window estimation.

Published: October 2024

Traditional villages are important carriers of regional cultural inheritance. The challenge of utilizing spatial information technology to protect and preserve the architectural spatial patterns and regional context of traditional villages has attracted significant attention. This study focuses on Biasha Miao village in Guizhou province, China, as the case study. Digital information technology was used to evaluate the architectural spatial texture and typical street space characteristics of different villages. Using the DepthMap model of space syntax and parameters such as integration, average depth value, and connectivity, the article examines the spatial form of traditional villages across three aspects: overall space, street space, and point-like public space. In the end, a spatial activation optimization strategy was proposed. The results showed that the spatial layout of buildings in different villages is closely related to the distribution characteristics of landscape elements such as landform, water system, and farmland, as well as residents’ production, lifestyle, and regional culture. Da village and Zaige new village are well-connected to the main traffic roads connecting them to the outside world, resulting in high spatial permeability and a more extroverted spatial development. Most public spaces are located near the main village road, offering good accessibility, or at the geometric center of the village, where they serve critical roles in cultural display and distribution. This study proposes targeted activation strategies focusing on road traffic, street layout, and spatial nodes to optimize and enhance the spatial quality of traditional villages, improve residents’ living environments, and provide practical guidance for the sustainable development of traditional village spaces.
Examining real-time physical activity in adolescents using the Multi-Process Action Control Model: An ecological momentary assessment study
Authors: Harris Sheereen , Brown Denver , King-Dowling Sara , Cairney John , Kwan Matthew
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine real-time associations between reflective (i.e., state motivation), regulatory (i.e., self-control), and reflexive (i.e., habit) constructs from the Multi-Process Action Control (M-PAC) model and real-time moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) behaviour among adolescents using ecological momentary assessments. One hundred and ninety adolescents (Mage = 15.76 ± .47 years; n = 101 males) wore an accelerometer for seven consecutive days and responded to digital survey prompts up to four times daily during the after-school periods. MVPA in the 60-minute time window following each survey prompt was recorded. Multilevel mixed-effects linear and logistic models were computed with disaggregated between- and within-person effects to analyze the data. Results from both linear and logistic multilevel models revealed adolescents with higher state motivation in general and experiencing higher state motivation than one’s typical levels were associated with engaging in more MVPA and higher likelihood of engaging in ≥10 minutes of MVPA. Engaging in activities less consistent with habitual behaviours were associated with more MVPA and higher likelihood of engaging in ≥10 minutes of MVPA. By contrast, self-control was not associated with MVPA. Results from this study extend previous work demonstrating the importance of conscious and non-conscious processes on MVPA behaviour by examining associations in real-time using intensive longitudinal methods. Collectively, this study provides partial support for use of the M-PAC framework to explain acute MVPA among adolescents in real-time and natural contexts.
Effects of inter- and intraindividual compensation-sensitive shot styles on performance in Olympic air rifle shooting
Authors: Tartaruga Dino , Kredel Ralf
Published: October 2024

Background: Aiming point analysis systems (APAS) are commonly used in sports shooting but face four main challenges: they do not account for intra-session variations, they overlook inter-individual shooter preferences, they ignore compensation mechanisms of technical features, and they do not respect the real shot location at the target. Methods: To address the first three challenges, we developed and validated an automated approach detector algorithm (ADA) for movement phase detection. When compared to three independent expert ratings, the ADA demonstrated a high correlation (r = .811). Building on the ADA and addressing challenge 3 and 4, this study applied cluster-analysis and ANOVA to determine the performance relevance of compensation-sensitive shot styles using datasets from a single athlete and 26 advanced to elite level athletes. Results: Significant performance differences in shot styles for both datasets, with each shot style distinctively differing from the others could be found. Conclusions: Shot styles which allow for compensation and intra-individual movement phase differences exhibit performance variations. Coaches and athletes should emphasize holistic training, focusing on combinations of features that allow for compensation.
Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Weights from the Ephesus Museum
Authors: Tekin Oğuz
Published: October 2024

This article, part of the Corpus Ponderum Antiquorum et Islamicorum (= CPAI ) project, introduces 302 balance weights from the collection of the Ephesus Museum, located in Selçuk (Efes), İzmir. The majority of the weights are made of lead, with a smaller number made of bronze. Among these, 115 weights follow the Greek system, while 187 belong to the Roman system, of which some are classified as Byzantine weights. The find spots of these weights are primarily in and around Selçuk and nearby archaeological sites, providing important data for their provenance or attribution. Although some weights bear ethnics, most only feature unit marks; however, their find spots enable accurate attribution. The Roman system weights, especially the librae, range from the theoretical 12 unciae to as much as 25 unciae, indicating adjustments over time due to inflation and devaluation. Among the Byzantine weights, the glass ones, dating from the 5th to 7th centuries AD, are also notable for the monograms they bear. Additionally, a weight made from a coin dates to the 10th-11th centuries AD.

Die aktuellen Nationalstaatsbildungen bringen es mit sich, dass neue Nationalgeschichten geschrieben werden. Sie müssen sich allerdings von Anfang an mit der Kritik auseinandersetzen, die Jakob Burkhard von Basel aus vor fast zwei Jahrhunderten am entstehenden deutschen nationalen
Geschichts-Narrativ vorgetragen hat: ,,vaterländische“ Geschichte könne nicht quellenimmanent geschrieben werden, weil man die den Blick einengenden Hecken aus ,,Absichten“ nicht ohne Vergleich durch- und überschauen kann.1 Plokhy geht nicht auf die Frage
ein, was eine Nation und was ein Nationalstaat ist, sondern schreibt, als biete das Territorium der heutigen Ukraine genug Kontinuität. Er will die ukrainische Geschichte ,,unter den Trümmern der imperialen Unterdrückung und der entstellenden Darstellung“ hervorholen.
Als Ergebnis ,,lässt sich die demokratische und europäische Ausrichtung der modernen ukrainischen Gesellschaft erkennen“ (S. 22).
Immanuel Wallerstein und das kybernetische Denken: Avantgarde oder Antipode? : Eine Re-Lektüre des Weltsystem-Modells gegen den Strich der Systemtheorie

Wallersteins Weltsystemtheorie und die kybernetische Modellierung der Sozialttheorie, für die insbesondere die Systemtheorie von Niklas Luhmann steht, galten unter SozialwissenschaftlerInnen bisher als zwei unverbundene Gefäße. Lässt sich diese Trennung weiterhin
aufrechterhalten oder gibt es Argumente, die Weltsystemtheorie als eine spezifische Antwort auf die Krise der Moderne zu begreifen, die das staatenzentrierte Souveränitätsdenken der Nachkriegszeit durch eine Neubeschreibung der Welt mithilfe von System, Netzwerk, Diversität
und Komplexität ersetzte?

Published: October 2024

The Human Development Index (HDI) is an important indicator for measuring the success of efforts to improve the quality of human life and serves as one of the indicators of development performance in a region. The objectives are (1) to provide input to the Bojonegoro Regency Government on the extent of achievements in the quality of life of its people and (2) to evaluate human development through efforts to improve the achievement of each indicator, including Life Expectancy, Expected Years of Schooling, Average Years of Schooling and per capita Purchasing Power of the people of Bojonegoro Regency. This research employs a mixed-method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative research. Successful human development is characterized by providing opportunities for people to enjoy a long and healthy life and lead a productive life. The purchasing power of the community positively influences the increase in Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS), which in turn positively impacts the increase in Life Expectancy. Improvements in education can raise public awareness of the importance of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior. Thus, PHBS itself can mediate and strengthen purchasing power and average years of schooling, thereby influencing the increase in Life Expectancy. Conclusions (1) The HDI of Bojonegoro Regency from 2020 to 2023 experienced an average increase of 0.54 points. In 2023, the HDI was 71.80, with the achievement of each indicator as follows Life Expectancy was 74.72 Expected Years of Schooling was 12.92 Average Years of Schooling was 7.45 and per capita Purchasing Power was Rp. 10,776,000. (2) The projected HDI for 2024 is 72.53, an increase of 0.73 points, with the HDI indicators being Life Expectancy at 75.01, Expected Years of Schooling at 13.04, Average Years of Schooling at 7.51, and per capita Purchasing Power at Rp. 11,263,000.

The right to education for poor children is one of the rights that must be protected by a state to achieve the broadest possible welfare of the people without discrimination. Karangasem Regency is one of the districts in Bali Province with the highest number of poor people, which has an impact on the large number of children dropping out of school and resulting in poor children's right to education in Karangasem Regency not being properly obtained. The aim of this research is to determine and analyze legal protection for the right to education of poor children in Karangasem Regency. The type of research used in compiling this research is empirical legal research. This research is descriptive-qualitative in nature with data collection techniques, namely through observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this research indicate that legal protection for the right to education of poor children in Karangasem Regency has not been fully implemented properly. This can be seen from the dissemination of policies issued by the government to help the education of poor children in Karangasem Regency which is still not evenly distributed, and the amount of assistance provided by the government to help with the costs of educating poor children in Karangasem Regency is still limited. The obstacles faced in providing legal protection for poor children's right to education in Karangasem Regency originate from 3 factors, the first is from community factors, namely regarding community motivation in continuing education which is still low. The two factors are facilities and infrastructure, namely the number of educational facilities in the form of the number of schools, the ratio of students and teachers is still not optimal. Lastly, there is the government factor, where the validity of data on poor residents or children in Karangasem Regency is not yet optimal, which results in the legal protection being provided not being optimal.
Modelling Decision and Reaction Against Detected Intrusions in IoT System Basing on Security Policy Rules
Authors: Benzekri G. , Moussaoui O. , Elmoussati A. , Betari A.
Published: October 2024

In recent years, The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered as one of the main technological revolutions, it connects heterogeneous devices, peoples, and services in order to exchange information and to improve existing deployments in different sectors. So far, existing security solutions are not adapted to this development, considering that IoT resources are exposed to different intrusions, which impact security management efficiency and the need for human interventions to increase. Although, it is too hard to depend on manual approaches that require the deep involvement of security managers to deliver the aimed security level. Therefore, a new solution is needed, that will facilitate the decision against detected intrusions and according to their magnitudes and their intentions to put the necessary reaction in the right place. In this context, this paper proposes a model which specify how the decision and correlation scenario will be carried out when a critical alert comes from the intrusion detector basing on security policy rules. This model simplifies and facilitates the decision and reaction against detected intrusions by enriching it with the rules defined in security policy to ensure the protection of IoT resources and help security administrators to make the right decisions in other tasks.

The research carried out in this paper focuses on the study of the integration of photovoltaic panels into buildings, a solution known as BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics), which represents a new form of solar energy use: these are building materials, but these also facilitate the generation of solar electricity on additional surfaces and allow an optimisation of the overall operation as a main source of electricity and can also be seamlessly integrated into the building envelope and its components. In the paper, the opportunities for development of building-integrated photovoltaic systems at thermal power enterprises were analysed, using concrete data of the JSC "CET-Nord" in the Republic of Moldova as an example for further research, as well as determining the potential photovoltaic capacity of administrative and production buildings of the enterprise. This will help to improve the understanding of the impact of BIPV systems on the energy transition of cities and on the notion of near-zero energy cities in Europe, by identifying possible future approaches to BIPV that can be used by energy specialists as well as architects and urban planners to assess how much of the energy used by buildings could be provided by BIPV systems when implemented as building envelope materials across the entire building envelope.
Artificial Intelligence In The Central Bank: Benefits And Risks Of Public Administration
Authors:   National Bank of Ukraine, DUDNICHENKO Artur
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence (AI) in the public administration of central banks. Using the method of discourse analysis, the advantages and risks of introducing AI into the activities of central banks are investigated. The author also considers the Concept of Artificial Intelligence Development in Ukraine, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine № 1156-r dated 02.12.2020, which defines the priority areas of AI development and the areas to which this initiative is directed. Using AI in central banks can help improve the analysis of large amounts of data, which in turn will help forecast economic trends and manage financial risks. One of the main advantages is the ability to automate routine processes, allowing employees to focus on strategic tasks. An important aspect is the collection of microeconomic and non-economic data from various sources, including the Internet. In addition, AI provides the ability to use synthetic data, which expands the possibilities for analysis. However, the use of AI also carries significant risks. These include problems with data privacy, the risk of false conclusions based on synthetic data, the impact of built-in biases in AI models, and the difficulty of explaining policy decisions. Cybersecurity is a separate issue, as the introduction of AI makes systems more vulnerable to cyberattacks. AI is expected to be increasingly integrated into key functions of central banks, including monetary policy-making and financial risk management. This will allow central banks to make more informed decisions and increase the efficiency of their operations. In addition, the introduction of AI will facilitate the development of information technology and improve analytical capabilities, which will ultimately reduce the workload of employees. At the same time, an important part of the analysis is the impact of AI on the transformation of modern approaches to public administration, especially in the context of the digitalization of the economy. AI can change traditional management methods by offering new tools for decision-making, but it also requires more careful regulation to avoid negative consequences. Therefore, a balanced implementation of these technologies is needed, taking into account potential risks and benefits. This study is a step in understanding how artificial intelligence can change the role of central banks in the modern economy, and how regulatory approaches need to be adapted to ensure the safe and effective implementation of these technologies.

La gestión política de la muerte: una mirada a la producción y el tratamiento de los cuerpos en el conflicto armado
Authors: Castillo Olarte Andrea Teresa
Published: October 2024

Los distintos esfuerzos por generar procesos de paz y sus logros (negociaciones, acuerdo para la terminación del conflicto armado, construcción de memoria colectiva, reparación de victimas) no suponen la invisibilización del pasado como si solo se tratara de un cambio de página en el libro de la historia de nuestro país: un antes y un después, en blanco y negro, sin matices. En este marco, el presente artículo plantea una reflexión sobre el lugar de los cuerpos en el conflicto armado, como una forma de continuar aunando voces a las narraciones diversas que permitan la no repetición del horror y crueldad que ha representado la guerra y comprensiones amplias sobre nuestra historia, una mirada en el presente de lo que significó en el pasado la disputa vida-muerte relatada a través de los cuerpos. Propongo un análisis frente al lugar de los cuerpos en el conflicto armado y la “gestión de la muerte” desde dos perspectivas: la producción de cuerpos en la guerra a partir de las narraciones de hombres excombatientes de la guerrilla FARC-EP y exparamilitares, y, por otra parte, el tratamiento de los cuerpos a través de lo que denomino rituales gore, anclados en las dinámicas de las economías de muerte. Dichos análisis se engloban en la dimensión política de los cuerpos y las relaciones de poder incrustadas en estos.
La biopolítica en Agamben: zoé y bíos, un acercamiento a la vida en el homo sacer
Authors: Saavedra Espitia Edwin Camilo
Published: October 2024

Antecedentes: La biopolítica es una de las categorías principales del pensamiento contemporáneo. Giorgio Agamben la ubica en el marco de una excepción originaria, que ha tenido implicaciones en la administración de la vida como forma de dominación. Esta excepción comienza por una ruptura fundamental que caracteriza a la política occidental desde su inicio en el mundo antiguo. Reflexión: Agamben indica esta ruptura en el pensamiento griego, estos distinguían entre zoé (la mera vida natural) y bíos (una forma de vida particular). Esta ruptura nos permite comprender el interés y las implicaciones de la biopolítica para gestionar la vida humana. El "origen" de lo político no es el paso de una naturaleza originaria ontológica, más bien esta gira en torno al uso de la ley en comunidad política y la anomia que la ley produce: la excepción soberana. Conclusiones: Esta distinción de naturaleza tiene efectos en la nuda vida de cada ser humano que es visto como factor productivo o de exclusión por el privilegio de una política que ordena por medio del poder la vida de las personas. Se deja claro cómo la biopolítica sigue siendo una categoría importante para entender diferentes dimensiones de la política contemporánea.

Authors: Vélez-Botero Helena , Agudelo-Hernández Felipe
Published: October 2024

Antecedentes: La resiliencia es una medida de la capacidad de adaptación exitosa en un ambiente cambiante. Para medirla se ha usado ampliamente la escala breve de Connor-Davidson Resilience (CD-RISC). Sin embargo, no se cuenta con una validación en población general colombiana mayor de edad, sino en grupos de personas con patologías y en adolescentes. Objetivo: evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de este instrumento para su uso con población general adulta colombiana. Método: Se realizó un muestreo incidental por conveniencia, con una muestra de 18779 personas mayores de 18 años de todas las regiones de Colombia. Resultados: Se destaca un coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de .892 que indica una confiabilidad alta, correlaciones estadísticamente significas entre todos los ítems (p<.001) y la agrupación del total de ítems en un único factor con una varianza explicada de 51.60%. Esto sugiere que hay consistencia en el agrupamiento de los ítems en torno a ese factor. Estas propiedades confirman los hallazgos de validaciones previas. Conclusiones: La presente investigación aumenta la evidencia disponible sobre los instrumentos para evaluar la resiliencia y confirma que las propiedades psicométricas de la CD-RISC-10 son adecuadas para su utilización con población general adulta colombiana, especialmente para el diseño de planes de promoción de la salud mental.

Authors: Baquero Jiménez Karen Alejandra , Ríos Cruz Sonia Gisela , Avendaño Prieto Bertha Lucía
Published: October 2024

Resumen La investigación tuvo como objetivo comparar las habilidades de teoría de la mente entre un grupo de hombres condenados por abuso sexual que cometieron el delito en un ambiente intrafamiliar con un grupo de hombres con la misma condena que cometieron el delito en un ambiente extrafamiliar. Adicionalmente, se incluyó un grupo de hombres que no habían sido judicializados por ningún delito. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo-comparativo con 41 hombres entre 21 y 50 años, que se encontraban en el Complejo Carcelario y Penitenciario Metropolitano de Bogotá, Cárcel la Picota, condenados por el delito de abuso sexual a menor de 14 años; se tomó como punto de referencia el medio en el que se cometió el delito: intrafamiliar o extrafamiliar. Se aplicó una ficha de recolección de información sociodemográfica, el Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), el inventario de depresión Estado/Rasgo (IDER) y la Escala Diagnóstica de Estrés Postraumático, de los que se tomaron algunos indicadores para los criterios de inclusión de la muestra. Luego se evaluó la habilidad de lectura de la mente través del test de la mirada y la ToM (Teoría de la Mente). Los resultados de este análisis indican que entre los dos grupos de abusadores sexuales y el grupo control hay diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las puntuaciones del test de la mirada, así como en las dimensiones de la ToM correspondientes a reconocimiento de emociones, toma de perspectiva y la competencia social.

The article deals with the detailed information about Methods and tools for assessing student competencies. The accurate assessment of student competencies is crucial in modern education, as it allows educators to measure not only knowledge retention but also skills, attitudes, and critical thinking abilities. This paper explores various methods and tools used for assessing student competencies, including traditional assessments, performance-based assessments, and technology-enhanced assessments. Traditional methods, such as multiple-choice tests and written exams, remain popular but are often limited in their ability to evaluate higher-order thinking skills. In contrast, performance-based assessments—such as projects, presentations, and portfolios—offer a more comprehensive evaluation by focusing on the application of knowledge in real-world contexts. Technology-enhanced tools, such as digital simulations, e-portfolios, and automated feedback systems, provide innovative ways to measure competencies while increasing engagement and personalization. The paper also discusses the importance of aligning assessment tools with learning objectives and provides insights into the challenges associated with each method, including issues of reliability, validity, and scalability. By combining multiple assessment methods, educators can obtain a holistic view of student competencies, enabling targeted support and improved learning outcomes.

Desde los primeros contactos entre España y Japón, una de las facetas que más ha llamado la atención del país del sol naciente es todo lo relacionado con la nobleza guerrera o clase samurái, buscando en sus armas la máxima expresión de este ideal. Cuando los coleccionistas españoles se percataron que, además del valor histórico-antropológico que tenían las armas japonesas, existía un valor artístico de una factura exquisita, todos los ojos se volvieron hacia Japón. Con el inicio de relaciones diplomáticas entre España y Japón a mediados del siglo XIX, empezaron a llegar a nuestro país varios sables japoneses, muchas veces de manos de militares destinados en la zona. En este artículo analizaremos estas armas presentes en los museos del ejército (de tierra) español, estableceremos unas pautas de catalogación y presentaremos su actual estado de conservación y ofreceremos una serie de consejos para su correcta preservación.
To know or not to know? Curiosity and the value of prospective information in animals

Humans and other animals often seek instrumental information to strategically improve their decisions in the present. Our curiosity also leads us to acquire non-instrumental information that is not immediately useful but can be encoded in memory and stored for use in the future by means of episodic recall. Despite its adaptive benefits and central role in human cognition, questions remain about the cognitive mechanisms and evolutionary origins that underpin curiosity. Here, we comparatively review recent empirical studies that some authors have suggested reflects curiosity in nonhuman animals. We focus on findings from laboratory tasks in which individuals can choose to gain advanced information about uncertain future outcomes, even though the information cannot be used to increase future rewards and is often costly. We explore the prevalence of preferences in these tasks across animals, discuss the theoretical advances that they have promoted, and outline some limitations in contemporary research. We also discuss several features of human curiosity that can guide future empirical research aimed at characterising and understanding curiosity in animals. Though the prevalence of curiosity in animals is actively debated, we surmise that investigating behavioural candidates for curiosity-motivated behaviour in a broader range of species and contexts, should help promote theoretical advances in our understanding of cognitive principles and evolutionary pressures that support curiosity-driven behaviour.

Among the different micro- and nanostructures located on cuticular surfaces, grooming devices represent fundamental tools for insect survival. The present study describes the grooming microstructures of the damselfly Ischnura elegans (Odonata, Coenagrionidae) at the adult stage. These structures, situated on the foreleg tibiae, were observed using scanning electron microscopy, and the presence and distribution of resilin, an elastomeric protein that enhances cuticle flexibility, were analyzed using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Eye and antennal grooming behavior were analyzed to evaluate the particle removal efficiency in intact insects and in insects with ablated grooming devices. The grooming devices are constituted of long setae from which a concave cuticular lamina develops towards the medial side of the leg. Each seta shows a material gradient of resilin from its basal to the distal portion and from the seta to the cuticular lamina. The removal of the grooming devices induces a strong increase in the contaminated areas on the eyes after grooming. Further studies on insect grooming can provide valuable data on the functional morphology of insect micro- and nanostructures and can represent a starting point to develop advanced biomimetic cleaning tools.

Вишня (Prunus cerasus) представляет собой одну из значимых плодовых культур, широко культивируемых в умеренных климатических зонах. Благодаря своим уникальным органолептическим и питательным характеристикам, плоды вишни находят широкое применение как в свежем виде, так и в переработке для получения различных пищевых продуктов, таких как джемы, соки и консервы. Вишня обладает антиоксидантным, противовоспалительным и антиканцерогенным действием, что делает её важным объектом исследований в области функционального питания и медицины. Современное сельское хозяйство сталкивается с вызовами, такими как изменение климата и повышенные требования к качеству продукции. Повышение устойчивости вишни к стрессовым факторам, таким как фитопатогены, вредители и абиотические стрессы, является ключевой задачей. Селекция новых сортов с улучшенными характеристиками становится особенно важной. Современные биотехнологические методы ускоряют селекционный процесс, предоставляя возможность точного анализа и манипуляции генетическими ресурсами. В исследовании проводится сравнительная оценка генетических, физиологических и биохимических параметров нескольких сортов вишни, что позволяет выявить ключевые факторы, определяющие их устойчивость к стрессам. Инновационные методы, такие как молекулярная маркировка и геномное редактирование, применяются для создания новых селекционных линий.

Картофель является одной из стратегически важных сельскохозяйственных культур Казахстана. При этом основные площади возделывания картофеля заняты зарубежными сортами, ввиду долгого вегетационного периода местных сортов. Данная статья посвящена созданию исходного селекционного материала картофеля. Приводятся результаты по гибридизации сортов отечественной и зарубежной селекции. Основное внимание уделяется созданию сортов с неглубоким залеганием глазков и c желтым цветом, без ферментного почернения и раннеспелостью. По итогу гибридизации растений из 4 комбинаций 7 были  успешными (57%). Из полученных 4 гибридов, 3 оказались фертильными и жизнеспособными.  Процент всхожести растений в почве составил  33,3%, 45,4% и 60% для Гала х Шагалалы, Ягодный 19 х Fry и Гала х Ягодный 19 соответственно. Высокая результативность как по выживаемости растений, так и по количеству и размеру клубней была характерна для комбинаций одним из родителей в которых выступал сорт Ягодный. Самый крупный миниклубень составил 4,5 см, а маленький 1,2 см для одного и того же гибрида, но разных линий. Создана коллекция растений in vitro для сохранения исходного материала.

В данной статье представлены результаты экспериментов по оптимизации этапов  введения в культуру in vitro и микроклонального размножения трех перспективных сортов растений ежевики сортов Натчез, Блэк Мэджик и Осейдж.  В результате исследования оптимизированы условия для введения в культуру in vitro пазушных почек, применяемых в качестве эксплантов. Проведена стерилизация растительного материала химическими агентами, включающая в себя обработку эксплантов мыльным раствором, использование раствора 70% этанола и  гипохлорита натрия c добавлением 5-6 капель Твин-20 в различных композициях. Установлено, что при экспозиции в 70% этаноле в течение 2 минут и в 1% растворе гипохлорита натрия в течение 15 минут выход стерильных эксплантов составляет  85%. В качестве питательной среды использована среда Мурасиге-Скуга с различными комбинациями фитогормонов. Оптимальной питательной средой для культивирования эксплантов в культуре in vitro является среда МС с добавлением 0,1 мг/л 6-БАП, обеспечившая выживаемость эксплантов ежевики в эксперименте от 86% до 90%. Установлено, что наиболее оптимальной для увеличения коэффициента микроклонального размножения изучаемых сортов ежевики в условиях in vitro является среда МС с 0,5 мг/л 6-БАП и 0,1 мг/л ГК3.
