Authors: D Aswin Fahmi
Published: December 2021

Management of ZIS in the city of Medan has entered a modernization era where zakat management is directed to amil zakat institutions that specifically deal with the ZIS problem. Now there are many LAZ in Medan, including LAZISMU. Both LAZISMU have enormous potential, because they are under the auspices of the largest Islamic organization in Indonesia. However, in the funding and distribution activities of ZIS in LAZISMU, there is still no promising performance. Some notes show that the number of ZIS that have been funded by these two LAZIS is still relatively low. And the distribution of ZIS has not yet shown maximum results. The research is a field research, namely research conducted or conducted in a specific place using descriptive analysis methods. Descriptive analysis is research that describes clearly and in detail the phenomena that are the subject matter without hypothesizing or doing statistical calculations, which in this case describes clearly and in detail about the main problems that occur in the ZIS collection and utilization strategy in LAZISMU City Field. The results of this study can be concluded that LAZISMU uses its strategic position and utilizes technological advancements to improve the performance of ZIS collection and distribution.

Published: December 2021

According to Islamic economists, inflation has very bad effect on the economy because it disruptions of money function, weakens of saving’s spirit, decreases the production of goods, and weakens of purchasing power. Inflation also attracted the attention of M. Umer Chapra as a Muslim economist. This study to analyze M. Umer Chapra's opinion on inflation. This research with qualitative approach of historical research, which examines history of the character which includes ideas, thoughts, and things that influence the formation of his thoughts. Data collection methods is using library research with the object about Chapra’s thoughts relating to inflation, traced through his works. Chapra thought is a blend of traditional science, religion and modern economics. The results concluded that his thinking was dominated by macroeconomics because he was involved in the world economy, monetary policy, Islamic financial institutions which were more emphasized by the central bank, policies and inflation problems. Chapra's view of efforts to suppress inflation is the need for price stability and strategy. The disadvantage is that in a tolerant attitude towards western financial instruments, it must emphasize moral improvement for the course of fair economy as the solution to the failure of the capitalist and socialist economic systems.

Starbucks as well as other companies requires loyalty from its customers to increase the quantity of sales. However, it seems that Starbucks does not care about the loyalty of Muslim customers. This is evident from the Starbucks support campaign for LGBT which is clearly the opposite of Islamic teachings. Because, if Muslims are loyal to Starbucks who are known to support LGBT, it means that Muslims play a role in supporting LGBT. The purpose of this study is to find out Muslim consumer loyalty to Starbucks after Starbucks supported LGBT and also to find out Muslim consumers' responses to Starbucks for providing support Starbucks Coffee in the LGBT community. This study was conducted using qualitative methods. In this study the authors found that Starbucks support for LGBT is an act that violates business ethics in the scope of social responsibility. Moreover LGBT is a for acts that are forbidden in Islam. So Starbucks support for LGBT actions received a positive response from Muslim consumers. From informants who were questioned there was not one informant who agreed with Starbucks Coffee's support for LGBT. 3 of the 5 informants lost their loyalty to Starbucks and reluctant to go back to Starbucks.

Published: December 2021

According to Rosstat for 2020, the population of Russia as a result of its natural movement decreased by 688.7 thousand people. If the birth rate in relation to 2019 decreased by 3.0%, then mortality increased by 17.9%. For many regions of the country (oddly enough, in the first place of its European part), the situation turned out to be even more difficult. At the same time, heterogeneous factors had an impact on each other - a change in the age structure of the population, the COVID-19 pandemic, a decrease in real income, etc. Under these conditions, the problem of obtaining accurate predictive assessments of the situation development in order to develop government policies to improve it is updated. Objectively necessary is the introduction of relevant information systems built on the basis of integrated economic and mathematical models. In this regard, the article discusses the development and application of modern tools for analyzing and predicting the development of territorial systems, including demographic aspects. It is indicated that a significant factor is the development of the social infrastructure of the territory. A system of criteria and indicators are proposed to assess the impact of its level of development on demographic processes. In particular, areas such as health care, education, culture and leisure, housing, trade and services are considered. An approach to the formation of integral indicators in various areas of life of society and an example of developing regression equations based on them is presented. It is noted that in different regions of the country, the degree of influence of the level of development of social infrastructure on demographic processes may differ significantly, which requires accounting within the framework of the model being formed. The possibility and need to build a decision support system based on the obtained model complex and is defined by such a toolkit in the strategic development management system of the region. The key stages of developing tools are described. The results obtained can be used as part of modeling changes in the demographic potential of regions in the context of the transformation of the territorial settlement system.
MIGRATION PROCESSES IN RUSSIA: ANALYSIS OF TRENDS AND MECHANISMS OF STATE REGULATION
Authors:   Institute of Social and Economic Researches, AITOVA YU.S.
Published: December 2021

Today, the human migration is one of the most important factors in the socio-economic territorial development. This process requires considerable attention on the part of federal, regional and municipal general government. The main trends that characterize migration in Russia at the present time is a population tightening and a high level of its concentration in the European part of the country, a significant outflow of population from towns, small cities, as well as rural settlements, migration inflow to large and highly developed territories, an increase in the socio-economic development polarization in territories, etc. These problems are also considered in the Concept of the State Migration Policy in the Russian Federation for 2019-2025. At the same time, despite the adoption of the Concept several issues remain unresolved, such as the lack of state attention to internal Russian migration, the definition of specific needs of the region and municipalities, as well as the lack of a quantitative assessment of targets, etc. It is necessary to clarify the main directions and mechanisms for implementing Russia's migration policy. It is promising to consider population migration from the point of view of meeting the various interests and needs of the main participants in this process - a person, business, territory (locality, region, country), in our opinion. An essential point in the development of such a mechanism is an adequate and scientifically based description of the characteristics of each agent., It is necessary to develop a set of proposals for improving the migration policy and measures for its implementation to achieve a balance of interests of these agents.

The proliferation of herbicide-resistant forms of weeds provokes herbicide application in higher doses. It may have a negative impact on agricultural crops, causing oxidative stress, inhibiting the growth of plants, reducing yield potential. An important task is to find methods to mitigate herbicidal stress in crops. One approach may be to treat crops with microorganisms that favorably affect the growth of plants. Under the conditions of the light site, two-week wheat plants were sprayed with herbicides Octapon estra (0.1 µl/plant) based on 2,4-D and Nanomet (1.3 µg/plant) based on metsulfuron-methyl and a culture of bacteria 12N1 (107 CFU/plant). Herbicide-resistant strain 12N1, previously isolated from soil from the territory of a chemical industry enterprise (Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia), showed nitrogenase activity of 10.1 nmol C2H4•h-1•ml-1.The use of bacteria stimulated the growth of wheat roots both in the variants of the experiment with and without herbicides. Treatment with bacterial culture reduced the proline content in wheat leaves by 1.9 times against the background of the herbicide Octapon extra and by 6.6 times against the background of Nanomet, as well as the return of the total chlorophyll content to the control values. On the basis of the obtained data, the bacterial strain 12N1 was recognized as a potential antidote for mitigating herbicidal stress in wheat and was identified as member of the species Pseudomonas zhaodongensis based on the cultural, morphological, physiological, biochemical features and the sequence of the 16S RNA gene.

The medium-altitude mountains of the Southern Urals began to experience a strong anthropogenic impact since the 18th century in connection with the construction of mining plants. Subsequently, a long economic development of the territory formed anthropogenic transformed landscapes. The assessment of the modern geoecological state of landscapes of the middle regions of the Southern Urals was carried out by superimposing thematic maps based on the processing of indicators, including the influence of climatic factors, the stability of natural complexes to external influences, the anthropogenic transformation of natural complexes, the modern state of landscape components. As a result, landscapes with a favorable, satisfactory and stressed geoecological state were identified.
THE HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MUSICAL CULTURE OF BASHKIRIA IN THE 1950S - MID-1980S
Authors:   Order of the Badge of Honour Institute of History, Language and Literature, AKHMADIEVA N.V.
Published: December 2021

In the 1950s-1980s. the musical culture of Bashkiria was further developed, acquiring specific forms. As a result of the influence of various musical cultures, forms of professional art that were not inherent in traditional national culture were actively developing in the republic. Historically, the artistic and aesthetic experience of Bashkiria was limited to monodic forms of folk music (monophonic songs and instrumental tunes). The problem of overcoming the predominance of traditional monody in professional musical culture was urgent. Having adopted and creatively using the best traditions of classical and Soviet music, Bashkir professional music has gone an accelerated path from traditional monophonic folk music to complex genres of professional art. For several decades, such genres as opera, symphony, ballet were created in Bashkiria. Already in 1950-1970. a national style is formed on the basis of the creative implementation of folklore and the interaction of national and international in musical art. In the 1960s. against the background of the continuous interest of Bashkir composers in chamberinstrumental and chamber-vocal genres, the center of gravity is shifting to the field of musical-theatrical, symphonic music. In the musical life of the republic, great importance was attached to the popularization of musical culture. Bashkir radio paid great attention to the promotion of musical knowledge and works. Back in the early 1960s. musical and educational programs were conducted in the Bashkir and Russian languages, concerts of Bashkir, Chuvash and Russian composers were broadcast. Often, the radio played works by amateur composers with the participation of the authors themselves. At the same time, with the huge genre diversity of the musical culture of Bashkiria, significant and talented works of many authors remained outside the active cultural life, unable to popularize them and bring them to the mass audience. As a result, a serious gap was noticeable between the musical culture itself and its consumer. The low level of culture of perception of music by the population, due to the lack of professional musical education, formed preferences for pop, popular music.
Perceiving fingerspelling via point-light displays: The stimulus and the perceiver both matter
Authors: Leannah Carly , Willis Athena , Quandt Lorna C
Published: December 2021

Signed language users communicate in a wide array of sub-optimal environments, such as in dim lighting or from a distance. While fingerspelling is a common and essential part of signed languages, the perception of fingerspelling in varying visual environments is not well understood. Signed languages such as American Sign Language (ASL) rely on visuospatial information that combines hand and bodily movements, facial expressions, and fingerspelling. Linguistic information in ASL is conveyed with movement and spatial patterning, which lends itself well to using dynamic Point Light Display (PLD) stimuli to represent sign language movements. We created PLD videos of fingerspelled location names. The location names were either Real (e.g., KUWAIT) or Pseudo-names (e.g., CLARTAND), and the PLDs showed either a High or a Low number of markers. In an online study, Deaf and Hearing ASL users (total N = 283) watched 27 PLD stimulus videos that varied by Realness and Number of Markers. We calculated accuracy and confidence scores in response to each video. We predicted that when signers see ASL fingerspelled letter strings in a suboptimal visual environment, language experience in ASL will be positively correlated with accuracy and self-rated confidence scores. We also predicted that Real location names would be understood better than Pseudo names. Our findings show that participants were more accurate and confident in response to Real place names than Pseudo names and for stimuli with High rather than Low markers. We also discovered a significant interaction between Age and Realness, which shows that as people age, they can better use outside world knowledge to inform their fingerspelling success. Finally, we examined the accuracy and confidence in fingerspelling perception in sub-groups of people who had learned ASL before the age of four. Studying the relationship between language experience with PLD fingerspelling perception allows us to explore how hearing status, ASL fluency levels, and age of language acquisition affect the core abilities of understanding fingerspelling.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: Ectopic pregnancy is a life threatening emergency in first trimester of pregnancy. Hemodynamic stability of the patient remains one of the crucial factors that determine the treatment modalities. The main objective of this study was to study the correlation between the vital signs and amount of hemoperitoneum in ruptured ectopic pregnancy so that early and active interventions can be done.
Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study of all the pregnant women with ruptured ectopic pregnancy with hemoperitoneum who presented to the emergency department of College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital from time period of 1st May 2017-31st May 2020.The different vital signs present at the time of initial emergency department and preoperative period prior surgery were reviewed and used for correlation with amount of hemoperitoneum by using Pearson correlation analysis.
Results: A total of 61 patients were studied. Pearson correlation between different vital signs and amount of hemoperitoneum were: heart rate(r=0.48, p<0.001), systolic blood pressure(r= -0.41,p=0.001), diastolic blood pressure (r= -0.34,p=0.06), mean arterial pressure (r= -0.37,p=0.03), respiration rate (r= 0.33, p=0.08) temperature (r=0.09,p=0.94), and shock index (r=0.55,p<0.001). Only 19 of 36 patients with hemoperitoneum ≥750 ml had HR≥100 beats/min and 8 patients had SBP≤90mmHg.
Conclusions: None of the vital signs showed strong association with the amount of hemoperitoneum. If decision for surgical interventions were made based on hemodynamic instability, most of the patients would have been over-diagnosed and treated differently. Proper and timely diagnosis with immediate management should be done.

Sound Embodiment of Rene Eespere’s Piano Cycles: Experience of Performance Analysis
Authors: Pylypenko Stanislav
Published: December 2021

The novelty of the article lies in expanding knowledge about the contemporary outstanding musicians using the example of the performance analysis of the piano cycles of the Estonian composer Rene Eespere in the context of their sound embodiment.
The purpose of the article is to identify the specificity of the sound embodiment of R. Eespere’s piano cycles: “4 ostinato” and “24 preludes” (first book).
The research methodology is based on an integrated approach that combines the principle of musical-theoretical and performance analysis, which are necessary for solving the tasks set in the article.
Results and conclusions. The article examines the creativity of the Estonian composer Rene Eespere on the example of his piano cycles “4 ostinato” and “24 preludes” (first book). The paper detects the key tasks that arise before the performer and contribute to the sound embodiment of the proposed compositions. The basis for this research was the personal performance experience of the article’s author; work in the class of Professor S. Yushkevich; audio and video recordings of piano cycles, as well as direct communication with R. Eespere in the format of electronic correspondence. The article reveals the main features of his composer style, which synthesizes the traditions of Western European and national culture. In addition, the work shows R. Eespere’s gravitation towards minimalism in music. Ostinato is a characteristic manifestation of the composer’s creative thinking in these piano cycles. This compositional technique determines the different emotional orientation of each piece. The article also examines the variants of texture formulas in the proposed piano opuses, which require mobility from the performer in changing pianistic techniques. Analytical study of these works made it possible to identify the following performance tasks: the stability of intricate rhythmic complexes, subtle dynamic nuances, timbre variety, moderate pedalling, as well as the use of expressive key touch. In general, the sound embodiment of the piano cycles of the Estonian composer R. Eespere brings out new facets in understanding of musical context and contributes to the formation of a performance experience so valuable for the development of modern piano art.
Reading in the Wake: Empathy Debates, “The Reader,” and Toni Morrison’sGod Help the Child
Authors: Wallace Cynthia R.
Published: December 2021

Toni Morrison’s 2015 novel God Help the Child complicates both naïve celebrations and outright rejections of empathy as one of reading’s goals. Explicating the protagonist Bride’s journey as a primer in empathy, I argue that in centring a Black protagonist as Everyreader, Morrison undermines the implicit whiteness of both “the reader” and the subject of scientific study and moral theory. Yet the role of racial prejudice in Bride’s childhood trauma refuses to let readers forget that the source of her trouble is not her own moral failing but, rather, what Christina Sharpe calls “the weather” of white supremacy. By the novel’s end, empathy emerges as a powerful source of interpersonal and societal care across racial, class, and generational difference, but one that can be undermined by white supremacy at its most basic, pre-conscious functioning, rendering the role of literature to develop readers’ capacity to empathize across difference all the more important. Ultimately, Morrison’s allegory of readerly empathy challenges not just popular discussions of literature’s good but also the entire interdisciplinary conversation among literary scholars, cognitive psychologists, and neuroscientists by insisting that we attend to the specific but so far under-acknowledged role of racism in the development, practice, and study of empathy.

Published: December 2021

Relevance and purpose. Currently known methods of accounting for berry yields are not applicable for multi-species forests of different ages with the presence of undergrowth and undergrowth, widespread in Russia. Difficulties arise due to a set of input parameters, including type of forest growing conditions, breed, age, completeness, but not describing the illumination at the level of the grass-shrub layer, which is the determining factor in the yield of blueberries, cranberries, raspberries. The purpose of this study is to develop an approach to calculating the yield of wild berries, taking into account the illumination at the ground cover level by simulation methods. Material and methods. For the forecast, the FORRUS-S model of forest plantation dynamics is used. The yield data is taken from an existing reference book, which shows productivity in clean plantations without undergrowth and undergrowth. The use of an additional predictor of berry yield, namely, illumination at the level of ground cover, made it possible to predict yields in forests of a more complex structure: multi-species, of different ages, with undergrowth and undergrowth. Results and conclusion. An original approach to calculating the yield of wild berries has been developed. The above approach allows us to estimate the yield of the most common berries in the European part of Russia: blueberries, raspberries, lingonberries. Universal equations have been obtained that make it possible to predict the productivity of berry bushes based on the taxation characteristics of the stand and the illumination calculated in the model.

OBJECTIVE

Multiple meningiomas (MMs) occur in as many as 18% of patients with meningioma, and data on progression-free survival (PFS) are scarce. The objective of this study was to explore the influence of the number of lesions and clinical characteristics on PFS in patients with WHO grade I meningiomas.

METHODS

The authors retrospectively reviewed the records of all adults diagnosed with a meningioma at their three main sites from January 2009 to May 2020. Progression was considered the time from diagnosis until radiographic growth of the originally resected meningioma. A secondary analysis was performed to evaluate the time of diagnosis until the time to second intervention (TTSI). Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted to assess whether the number of lesions or any associated variables (age, sex, race, radiation treatment, tumor location, and extent of resection) had a significant impact on PFS and TTSI.

RESULTS

Eight hundred thirty-eight patients were included. Use of a log-rank test to evaluate PFS and TTSI between a single and multiple lesions showed a significantly shorter progression for MM (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed significantly inferior PFS on MM compared to a single lesion (hazard ratio [HR] 2.262, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.392–3.677, p = 0.001) and a significantly inferior TTSI for patients with MM when compared to patients with a single meningioma (HR 2.377, 95% CI 1.617–3.494, p = 0.001). By testing the number of meningiomas as a continuous variable, PFS was significantly inferior for each additional meningioma (HR 1.350, 95% CI 1.074–1.698, p = 0.010) and TTSI was significantly inferior as well (HR 1.428, 95% CI 1.189–1.716, p < 0.001). African American patients had an inferior PFS when compared to non-Hispanic White patients (HR 3.472, 95% CI 1.083–11.129, p = 0.036).

CONCLUSIONS

The PFS of meningiomas appears to be influenced by the number of lesions present. Patients with MM also appear to be more prone to undergoing a second intervention for progressive disease. Hence, a closer follow-up may be warranted in patients who present with multiple lesions. These results show a decreased PFS for each additional lesion present, as well as a shorter PFS for MM compared to a single lesion. When assessing associated risk factors, African American patients showed an inferior PFS, whereas older age and adjuvant therapy with radiation showed an improved PFS.

OBJECTIVE

Precise and accurate targeting is critical to optimize outcomes after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes after SRS for TN in which two different techniques were used: mask-based 4-mm cone versus frame-based 5-mm cone.

METHODS

The authors performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent SRS for TN at their institution between 1996 and 2019. The Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) pain score and facial hypesthesia scale were used to evaluate pain relief and facial numbness.

RESULTS

A total of 234 patients were included in this study; the mean age was 67 years. In 97 patients (41.5%) radiation was collimated by a mask-based 4-mm cone, whereas a frame-based 5-mm cone was used in the remaining 137 patients (58.5%). The initial adequate pain control rate (BNI I–III) was 93.4% in the frame-based 5-mm group, compared to 87.6% in the mask-based 4-mm group. This difference between groups lasted, with an adequate pain control rate at ≥ 24 months of 89.9% and 77.8%, respectively. Pain relief was significantly different between groups from initial response until the last follow-up (≥ 24 months, p = 0.02). A new, permanent facial hypesthesia occurred in 30.3% of patients (33.6% in the frame-based 5-mm group vs 25.8% in the mask-based 4-mm group). However, no significant association between the BNI facial hypesthesia score and groups was found. Pain recurrence occurred earlier (median time to recurrence 12 months vs 29 months, p = 0.016) and more frequently (38.1% vs 20.4%, p = 0.003) in the mask-based 4-mm than in the frame-based 5-mm group.

CONCLUSIONS

Frame-based 5-mm collimator SRS for TN resulted in a better long-term pain relief with similar toxicity profiles to that seen with mask-based 4-mm collimator SRS.
Utjecaj kvasaca Saccharomyces cerevisiae i Lachancea thermotolerans na kemijski sastav vina sorte ´Frankovka´

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi učinke primjene različitih sojeva kvasaca Saccharomyces cerevisiae i Lachancea thermotolerans na osnovni kemijski sastav, koncentracije pojedinačnih organskih kiselina, fenolnih spojeva i glicerola u vinu. U istraživanju provedenom 2018. godine, grožđe sorte ´Frankovka´ korišteno je za fermentacije s komercijalnim sojevima kvasca Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Uvaferm BDX™ i Ionys WF™) i sekvencijalnu inokulaciju s Lachancea thermotolerans (Laktia™) u ulozi startera, te Uvaferm BDX™ kvasca, čija je uloga bila provesti fermentaciju do kraja. Rezultati potvrđuju utjecaj kvasca Uvaferm BDX™ na pojačanu ekstrakciju antocijana i tanina, te utjecaj kvasca Ionys™ na povećanu sintezu glicerola u vinu. Iako je došlo do zastoja u fermentaciji, potvrđen je učinak sekvencijalne inokulacije na povećanje ukupne kiselosti te boju i strukturu vina temeljem više koncentracije ukupnih fenola što potencijalno može opravdati njenu primjenu u ekstremno toplim godinama ili toplim klimatima.
Gnojiva na bazi bakra u gnojidbi vinove loze
Authors: Gluhić David
Published: December 2021

Bakar ima povijesnu ulogu u uzgoju vinove loze. Bakar odnosno bakreni sulfat predstavlja prvi fungicid za borbu protiv plamenjače vinove loze. Međutim, osim važnosti bakra kao fungicida, bakar je istovremeno i važan mikroelement. Ima važnu ulogu u sintezi brojnih enzima i sintezi i aktivnosti molekule klorofila. Na povijesnim vinogradarskim tlima, gdje se u tlu nalazi visoka količina bakra nema pojave nedostatka bakra u listu vinove loze. Nedostatak bakra se često može javiti na karbonatnim (vapnenim) tlima, na tlima sa visokom količinom fosfora u tlu te na novim vinogradarskim položajima, gdje nije bilo prethodnog uzgoja vinove loze. Za gnojidbu vinove loze bakrom koriste se gnojiva koja sadrže bakar u obliku helata (Cu-EDTA) ili glukonata (Cu-glukonat), jer anorganski oblici bakra nemaju učinka u gnojidbi vinove loze. Kod primjene bakrenih gnojiva potrebno je voditi računa o dozi primjene, jer visoke količine bakra u biljci mogu izazvati fitotoksični učinak.

Polifenolni sastav grožđa i vina predmet je brojnih istraživanja, ponajviše zbog utjecaja pojedinačnih polifenola na senzorna svojstva vina te njihovog blagotvornog učinka na ljudsko zdravlje. Zbog klimatskih promjena koje postaju učestalije sve više se susrećemo s problemom fenolne zrelosti grožđa. Stoga je cilj istraživanje bio utvrditi utjecaj inaktivnih kvasaca na dozrijevanje grožđa Plavine te postizanje optimalne fenolne zrelosti. Na početku fenofaze šare dio grožđa tretiran je inaktivnim kvascima (Lalvigne mature), a kao kontrolna varijanta poslužilo je grožđe sorte Plavina na kojoj nije proveden tretman. U uzorcima grožđa provedena je osnovna fizikalno-kemijska analiza te analiza aromatskog i polifenolonog sastava. Značajna razlika uočena je u koncentracijama petunidin-3-O-glukozida i peonidin-3-O-glukozida kao i kemferol-3-O-rutinozida te procijanidina B1 kod tretiranog grožđa dok je ukupna kiselost bila izraženija u kontrolnom tretmanu. U aromatskom profilu tretirano grožđe izdvojilo se većim sadržajem monoterpena dok su seskviterpeni bili zastupljeniji u kontrolnom tretmanu. S obzirom na proizvodna svojstva sorte Plavina kao što su tanka kožica, osjetljivost na bolesti, zbijen grozd i velike bobice s manjom mogućnosti nakupljanja suhe tvari, od kojih se najčešće proizvedu laganija, slabija obojena vina, manje bogata polifenolima, primijenjena tehnologija ukazuje na mogućnost unaprjeđenja kvalitativnih svojstava sorte Plavina a time i vina.Plavina, grožđe, polifenoli, inaktivni kvasci
