Published: June 2021

This paper outlines on the preliminary outcomes of pilot project aimed at exploring the issue related to managing of maintenance activity in the Malaysian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). SMEs have been accepted as vital components of domestic industry development in many countries. However, the literature portrays that many of Malaysian SMEs particularly the companies involved in manufacturing, fabrication and machining services are struggling to manage the maintenance of their manufacturing equipment. Dependable manufacturing equipment is important factor towards organizational profitability. Managing the maintenance activity of those manufacturing equipment nowadays, is becoming more challenging due to automation and computerization. Due to such issues, SMEs companies are under stiff pressure to minimize lost time for their survival. Thus, this study seeks to explore the related issues towards further improvements. Qualitative research methodology was adopted in the study. Data were collected at eight (8) SMEs located in three (3) different areas, namely southern, central and eastern region of peninsular Malaysia. Information was gathered from semi-structured interviews with SMEs management and observations focuses on different areas of maintenance management at the respective SMEs. The main concern is to validate the critical success factors (CSFs) in managing the maintenance activity at selected SMEs. This study discovered that nine (9) CSFs are having the most significant impact towards improving the maintenance management practice for SMEs. These include: understanding the MM philosophy; management commitment and leadership; maintenance strategy; maintenance planning; maintenance training; monitoring and assessment; appropriate number of maintenance staff; integration of tools, techniques and technology, and; record of maintenance data. All those CSFs construct are integrated in a simple yet self-explanatory MM Framework to convey the conceptual idea of MM implementation program to the management and technical people within SMEs. It is believed that the MM Framework developed would serve as an indicator of company’s MM focus level. Through the identification of the CSFs constructs, the SMEs can utilize the information to improve their approach in systematic MM program. The discovered CSFs are vital for all stakeholders that directly or indirectly involve in managing the maintenance activity in SMEs. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01283 Full Text: PDF
Itemset Representation and Mining the Rules for Huntington’s Dataset
Authors: Kharkongor Carynthia , Nath Bhabesh
Published: June 2021

Association rule mining does not restrict to market basket application but it is also employed in many applications such as health, industrial, network domain and etc. In this paper, an association mining algorithm is applied to the health management domain. It helps in the decision making by producing the rules for the early detection of the disease. By checking the personal details and symptoms of the patient, association rule mining will help in prediction and diagnosing the disease at an early stage. The dataset used in this experiment is the Huntington Disease (HD) dataset, which is one of the rare diseases. The dataset needs to be stored in the memory for the computation and generation of rules. Storing the items in the memory will take 4 bytes if the array data structure is used. Furthermore, if the dataset is very large, storing each and every detail in the memory becomes speculative. It is also not cost-effective and consumes a lot of resources. One of the solutions is to present the itemset in such a way that the memory consumed is concise. The items are represented using the set representation that takes less time and memory as compared to the traditional methods. The dataset is mine using the Apriori Algorithm which produces only those itemsets which are more frequent or have a high probability of occurrence. The algorithm gives a prior knowledge of the frequent itemsets. Then, the rules will be generated from these frequent itemsets. The memory and time consumption using the set representation is compared with the array representation of itemsets. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01284 Full Text: PDF

Published: June 2021

The research aimed to introduce mathematics education researchers, mathematics teachers and developers of mathematics curricula in Egypt and the Arab world with the secret of excellence of Singapore students in mathematics and how they come at the top order in the international study of the trends of science and mathematics education every four years. This secret lies in a number of communities, school, family and classroom models, the most important of which is the pictorial model, which offers magic solutions to any mathematical problem. Problem solving is the center or focus of mathematics education as it involves acquiring and applying mathematical concepts and skills in a wide range of situations involving real-world problems, open-ended and non-routine problems. The Singaporean model is used to solve verbal problems where the student identifies the main information in the problem in a pictorial model that includes units in the whole figure of rectangles and the information and the unknown is indicated in the problem to be solved on the pictorial figure and through the figure the process or calculations to be used are clarified and the problem is resolved.

This study aimed to identify the obstacles of the performance of professional learning communities (PLC)from the point of view of science teachers in Afif Governorate in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. to answer the study questions, the researchers used the descriptive analytical approach, by developing a questionnaire consisting of two main topics: performance obstacles related to the personal aspects of the teacher, and performance obstacles related to school environment. The sample consisted of 95 science teachers in primary, middle and secondary schools. The sample size was 53.98% of the research society. The results indicated a number of performance obstacles from the point of view of science teachers. Among the most important performance obstacles related to the personal aspects of the teacher is the large number of teaching and administrative responsibilities that reduce the opportunities for cooperative work among teachers. Another obstacle in this topic is that less attention in the professional development programs is given to PLC. As for the obstacles related to the school environment, the most important of which is the school’s lack of an educational environment that supports PLC. The intensity of students numbers in the classroom which reduces the chances of the teacher reflection on teaching practices. The results also showed that there are no statistically significant differences credited to the variable of the grade (primary - intermediate - secondary) (α = 0.05).While statistically significant differences occurred related to the number of years of experience, in favor of more experienced science teachers (α=0.05(.

WHAT EVERY PSYCHOLOGIST AND PSYCHOTHERAPIST SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE PLACEBO AND NOCEBO EFFECT
Authors: Giacomuzzi Salvatore , Ertl Markus , Barinova Natalia , Garber Klaus , Kocharian Alexander
Published: June 2021

Purpose. Only a few medical terms are used as often, even in a metaphorically way, as the words placebo and nocebo. Almost any psychologist and psychotherapist think he/she knows well what by a placebo or nocebo is understood, but usually without really being able to explain it exactly and how it works. In addition, most psychologists and psychotherapists immediately think of clinical trials. However, many things are attributed to the placebo or nocebo effect that does not really fall under this concept in terms of a strict scientific terminology. Therefore, the following article summarizes the ongoing debate on placebo/nocebo effects by citing the current scientific literature.
Methods. To realize the purpose of the study, we used the methods of theoretical scientific research.
Results. In summary patients are more prone to develop nocebo effects are those with alternative or negative healthcare beliefs or experiences or unrealistic perceptions about treatment; managing these factors is a core strategy to counteract the nocebo effect.
Conclusions. Healthcare professionals can help to minimise the influence of the nocebo effect by considering how information about treatments, including benefits and adverse effects, is framed and communicated. Establishing a positive interaction from the start and involving patients in decisions about their treatment and ensuring they understand the cause of their illness and what they can do to manage their symptoms is likely to lead to better treatment outcomes.

Authors: Prihandoko Lastika Ary
Published: June 2021

The COVID-19 crisis has forced the learning system in Indonesia from face-to-face learning to online learning. This rapid transformation presents various challenges, especially for universities in remote areas such as Papua. This study aims to explore the factors that can influence the students' learning experience. The research approach used is quantitative with an analysis model of PLS-SEM. The data were obtained using a simple random sampling technique from four universities in Merauke, with 207 respondents. Four hypotheses were accepted, and one hypothesis was rejected in this research. Online information literacy experience and online learning facility perspective were affecting online learning experience significantly. Meanwhile, the online learning facility perspective significantly affecting online information literacy experience and online learning achievement motivation. However, online learning achievement motivation has a positive correlation but does not contribute significantly to an online learning experience. This research implies that higher education institutions can focus on factors that significantly contribute to the student's learning experience to provide a positive experience and increase online learning effectiveness, especially during the COVID-19 crisis.Keywords: learning experience, online learning, PLS-SEM, COVID-19

Authors: Sundari Dike , Hidayah Jumatul , Edy Sarwo , Esmianti Farida
Published: June 2021

This research aimed to find out the types of sentence structure errors in English paragraphs written by tertiary English students and the factors causing the errors. This research employed an explanatory mixed-method design. Fourth-semester students from the English department of IAIN Curup were engaged as the subjects of this research. Positivism-governed document analyses and constructivism-based interviews were conducted to solicit the data as desired. The quantitative findings garnered from document analyses endorsing a ready-to-use construct proposed by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen (1982), revealed that there were four types of sentence structure errors students made, namely omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. Those types of errors were exhibited in a proximate composition which meant that the students had compatible difficulties in terms of the four types of errors. As uncovered from students' writing works, the four types of errors were found in the domains of words, phrases, and clauses. Subsequently, the qualitative findings, elicited from interviews, demonstrated that the factors of sentence structure errors extended to students' mother tongue interference, overgeneralization in the use of English rules and norms, and the lecturer's teaching material delivery and method. Anchored in the data gained, this research discussed the data from the perspective of interlanguage theory, wherein some reviews of SLA and EFL pedagogy-related theories were offered to help lower the factors causing English sentence structure errors in writing skills. Keywords:  Errors, Sentence Structure, English writing skill
Elasticities of Food Demand in Germany – A Demand System Analysis Using Disaggregated Household Scanner Data
Authors: Peltner Jonas , Thiele Silke
Published: June 2021

This paper presents price and income elasticities of food demand for Germany. Using disaggregated household scanner data and the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS). The QUAIDS is modified to account for censoring and include household demographics. Furthermore, a two-stage budgeting approach is used to more accurately reflect households’ purchasing behaviour. Having disaggregated data also allowed to include convenience aspects into the demand system. High expenditure elasticities are found for fruits and nuts and meat, fish and eggs. The highest own-price elasticity is found for beverages. At the second stage, the bread toppings group reveals new insights into demand relations between cold cuts, cheese and other spreads. Cold cuts have both the highest expenditure and own-price elasticity. Cross-price elasticities indicate mostly complementary relations between cold cuts and other bread toppings. Comparing different income groups shows that expenditure elasticities of raw foods or basic ingredient foods tend to decrease as income increases, whereas expenditure elasticities of foods that require minimal or no preparation tend to increase with income. In conclusion, this study stresses the need for regularly updated elasticities of food demand that reflect up-to-date consumption behavior.
Corporate governance disclosure and corporate performance of Nigerian banks
Authors: Herbert Wilson , Agwor ThankGod C.
Published: June 2021

Corporate disclosure is a key mechanism of corporate governance. This study examined the effect of corporate governance disclosure (CGD) on the financial performance of commercial banks listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange. Based on the provisions of the Code of Corporate Governance for Public Companies in Nigeria, 2011 and the Code of Corporate Governance for Banks and Discount Houses 2014, the study developed a disclosure checklist and employed content analysis technique to extract corporate governance (CG) from 78 annual reports of 13 Nigerian commercial banks from 2011 to 2016. The study trichotomized CGD into those relating to the board of directors, risk framework, and whistleblowing policy. The results of the hypothesized relationships showed a positive and significant association between CGD and the banks' financial performance, with a positive effect of CGD on the board of directors and whistleblowing policy. However, the study did not find a significant association between CGD of risk management framework and the banks' financial performance. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing a broader understanding of the effect of CGD on banks' financial performance. The development of a disclosure checklist based on the regulators’ codes of corporate governance is a useful addition to the literature.
OS PARADIGMAS EPISTEMOLÓGICOS DA MODERNIDADE E DA PÓS- MODERNIDADE: EDUCAÇÃO E DECOLONIALIDADE
Authors: Martins José Eduardo , Verástegui Rosa de Lourdes Aguilar
Published: June 2021

O presente artigo situa-se no contexto da pós-modernidade ao propor uma reconstrução epistêmica.  Tem por objetivo analisar, a partir de uma perspectiva decolonial, o modo pelo qual a condição pós-moderna contribui para o resgate dos saberes ocultados pela modernidade eurocêntrica e, tendo em vista que a decolonialidade é um pensamento que surge contra um padrão colonial de poder. Sendo assim, procuraremos no artigo estabelecer um contato entre teoria pós-moderna e pensamento decolonial. Assim como modernidade e colonialidade andam juntas, pós-modernidade e decolonialidade também se aproximam, a diferença é que a primeira parte de uma razão dominadora e a segunda de uma razão libertadora. Para isso, buscaremos esclarecer as raízes do movimento decolonial latino-americano, bem como discutir a atualidade dos estudos decoloniais e seu impacto filosófico-educacional na contemporaneidade, que chega atingir até o currículo de filosofia na educação superior. Isto se fará a partir de um lócus de enunciação bem determinado: a realidade socioeconômica, política e cultural latino-americana. O artigo se apoia, em sua fundamentação teórica, no coletivo Modernidade/Colonialidade.
CRÍTICA PÓS-MODERNA AO PARADIGMA EPISTEMOLÓGICO DA MODERNIDADE E SUAS IMPLICAÇÕES NA EDUCAÇÃO: CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA INTERDISCIPLINARIDADE
Authors: Rodrigues João Paulo , Sousa Claudiney José de
Published: June 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os paradigmas epistemológicos da modernidade e da pós-modernidade e suas influências na educação, apresentando algumas contribuições da interdisciplinaridade como alternativa para o desenvolvimento de uma educação emancipatória. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, utilizando-se o método dialético. A modernidade apresentou como foco principal a emancipação humana, através da confiança na racionalidade científica, o que desencadeou uma fragmentação do conhecimento. Porém, os pós-modernos acreditam que o projeto da modernidade não se concretizou, pois não é possível compreender a complexa realidade através da divisão das disciplinas, proposta pelos modernos. Feyerabend fala acerca de um “tratamento médico para a epistemologia” e Japiassu se refere ao problema em termos de “patologia do saber”. Ambas as expressões metafóricas indicam o sintoma de algo preocupante na saúde da epistemologia atual e a necessidade de seu tratamento. O presente artigo desenvolve uma reflexão acerca da ideia de que o projeto emancipatório da modernidade ainda poderia ser alcançado, caso ocorra na educação a alteração do paradigma epistemológico da disciplinaridade pelo paradigma epistemológico da interdisciplinaridade. O ensino interdisciplinar deve ser desenvolvido com vivência, convívio, experimentação e cultivo, por isso a atitude interdisciplinar deve ser promovida através da criação de situações-problemas pensadas e elaboradas para serem resolvidas de modo interdisciplinar.
Ilmastokestävä joukkoruokailu ja ruokakulttuurin muutos Suomessa
Authors: Kupsala Saara , Irni Kuura , Apell Pirjo , Komulainen Riitta , Munck Lilli
Published: June 2021

Ruokapalvelut voivat pienentää ilmastovaikutuksiaan lisäämällä kasvisruokien osuutta tarjotuista aterioista. Joukkoruokailun muuttuminen kasvisvoittoisemmaksi edellyttää ruokien kulttuuristen merkitysten muuttumista ja kasvisruoan erityisruokavalio- ja kevytlounasmerkityksen purkautumista. Hankkeessamme kehitettiin 30 vegaanista, pienen ilmastovaikutuksen pääruokareseptiä ruokapalveluiden käyttöön. Osana reseptien testausta toteutimme asiakaskyselyn yhdeksässä lounasravintolassa, joihin sisältyivät viisi peruskoulun ja toisen asteen oppilaitoksen ravintolaa, kaksi opiskelijaravintolaa, henkilöstöravintola ja sairaalan ravintola. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelemme, millaisia merkityksiä ruokapalveluiden asiakkaat liittävät kasvis- ja liharuokiin sekä millaisia tunnesitoumuksia ja normatiivisia käsityksiä niihin kytkeytyy. Argumentoimme Sara Ahmedin (2014) affektiivista normeihin investointia analysoivan lähestymistavan avulla, että on oleellista nähdä ruokakysymys yksilöllisten valintojen tai kognitiivisten prosessien sijaan kysymyksenä yhteiskunnallisista ja kulttuurisista normeista, joihin investoidutaan affektiivisesti ja toiston avulla. Artikkelimme avaa sekä moniaistillista, muistojen ja tottumusten vahvistamaa affektiivista liharuokiin kiinnittymistä ja siten syitä ruokavaliomuutoksen haastavuuteen, että kasvisruoan uusien merkitysten muotoutumispotentiaalia lounasruokailussa. Affektiivisiin investointeihin liittyvän sukupuolittuneisuuden lisäksi nostamme ilmastokestävyydestä käytävään keskusteluun ruokaan liittyvän nationalismin, kulttuurisen omimisen ja eksotisoinnin. Tarjotessaan aterian noin kolmasosalle väestöstä päivittäin ruokapalveluilla on merkittävä potentiaali ruokaan liittyvien normien uudelleenmuotoutumisessa sekä ilmastokestävän ruokakulttuurin edistämisessä. Ruokapalvelujen mahdollisuuksiin tarjota täyttäviä, proteiinipitoisia ja maukkaita kasvispohjaisia ruokia tulisikin keskittää resursseja.

"Mistä se tuleekin se syyllisyys, se tulee siitä, että on kokovika"
Authors: Tervonen Harriet
Published: June 2021

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan tunteiden merkitystä turvallisuuden rakentumisessa lapsuuden tunnekokemuksissa. Artikkeli jatkaa tutkimuskeskusteluja, joissa lapsuuden kokemuksia ja lasten paikkaa analysoidaan osana uskonnollisten yhteisöjen käytäntöjä. Aineistoa varten on haastateltu neljä aikuista, jotka ovat viettäneet lapsuutensa uskonnollisissa perhesuhteissa. Aineisto on analysoitu aineistolähtöisellä sisällönanalyysillä, joka kohdentui tunteiden kuvauksiin ja niille annettuihin merkityksiin. Turvallisuutta rapauttavat tunnekokemukset liittyvät perheen sisäisten ja ulkoisten suhteiden eroihin sekä uskonnollisten oppien tuottamiin ristiriitoihin. Tulokset korostavat lapsen kokemuksen kuulemisen merkitystä sekä vuoropuhelua uskonnollisten yhteisöjen kanssa, jotta uskonnon vapauden rinnalla turvataan lapsen oikeuden toteutuminen. Sosiaalityössä tarvitaan ymmärrystä asiakkaiden kokemus- ja merkitysmaailmoista, erityisesti silloin, kun kohteena on lapsen oikeuksien toteutuminen.
Vallan ohjailemat toimintamahdollisuudet paperittomien Moskovassa
Authors: Kalm-Akubardia Maija
Published: June 2021

Tämä etnografinen tutkimus kysyy, miten ja miksi yhteiskunnan valtaeliitti ohjailee paperittomien toimintamahdollisuuksia. Kenttätyö on toteutettu Moskovassa sekä etänä 15 pitkäaikaispaperittoman kanssa vuosina 2017-2020. Tutkimuksen mukaan paperittomat ovat aktiivinen osa yhteiskuntaa ja sen kansantaloutta, mutta heidän toimintamahdollisuutensa ovat ohjailtuja ja rajoitettuja. Tutkimuksen viitekehyksenä toimivat Steven Lukesin vallan kolme ulottuvuutta (1974; 2005) sekä Martha Nussbaumin teoria toimintamahdollisuuksista (2011). Lukesin valtateorian mukaisesti paperittomien toimintamahdollisuuksien ohjailu tapahtuu päätöksenteossa, päätöksien tekemättä jättämisessä sekä yhteiskunnallisen mielipidevaikuttamisen kautta. Tutkimus löytää yhtymäkohtia Steven Lukesin valtateorian (1974; 2005) sekä Martha Nussbaumin toimintamahdollisuuksien teorian (2011) välilläharmaata taloutta ruokkivan paperittomuusilmiön ylläpitämisestä, politisoinnista ja kriminalisoinnista. Paperittoman toimintamahdollisuudet nähdään tutkimuksessa ratkaisemattomana ihmisoikeuskysymyksenä.

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Pornography Craving Questionnaire (K-PCQ) using classical test theory and item response theory.Methods The goodness of fit test and differential item functioning (DIF) analysis based on the Rasch model, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and correlation analysis were used to test its reliability and validity.Results Response data from 226 students were analyzed. According to the goodness of fit test, the outfit mean square value of only one item, Item 11, was greater than 2. The CFA results revealed that all items of the K-PCQ measured a single construct. The EFA results revealed that the K-PCQ had excellent internal reliability. The DIF analysis results showed that the measurement of pornography craving using the K-PCQ did not differ based on gender. The result of Poly-DIMTEST supported the unidimensionality of the K-PCQ. The cut-off value of pornography craving was suggested as a measure of -0.0908 which corresponds to 46 (54.8%) out of a maximum score of 84.Conclusion The items of the K-PCQ are unidimensional and have good reliability and validity. The K-PCQ will be useful in clinical practice and research as a screening tool for pornography craving.

Objective Studies have been conducted to identify brain structural alterations related to high impulsivity in psychiatric populations. However, research on healthy subjects is relatively less extensive. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the correlation between the cortical thickness of whole brain regions and the impulsivity level in a healthy population.Methods We included 100 healthy participants aged 19–65 years. Their T1-weighted magnetic resonance images and the 23-item Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) score were obtained. The patients were divided into high and low impulsivity groups according to the 75th percentile score of the BIS in the sample. The thickness of each cortical region was calculated using the FreeSurfer, and the difference in cortical thickness of the whole brain between the high and low impulsivity groups was analyzed using one-way analysis of covariance including age, sex, education level, and total intracranial cavity volume as covariates.Results The high impulsivity group showed significant cortical thinning in the left pars opercularis. The cortical thickness of the left pars opercularis significantly correlated negatively with the total, attention, and motor scores of the BIS scale.Conclusion Our findings suggest that prefrontal cortex thinning may play an important role in the development of high impulsivity in healthy adults.

Riau Islands, which are identical with the fishermen's profession for the people, has the potential to process marine products into superior products. One area that work as a fisherman is Kampung Rempang Cate. This village is located in Galang sub-district, Batam City. Fish catches are processed into food and souvenirs such as fish crackers, rose cakes, lung crackers, empek-empek and others. This village has internet so that people can access social media, but it has not been fully utilized in the economic field. Social media can be used as a media for promoting products and has the potential to improve the economy of the community. Bad weather sometimes happens, causing fishermen not possible to go to sea. When this happens, people can process resource from the sea into food or souvenir that can be sold to other regions such as Batam City through digital marketing. The purpose of this community engagement is to provide training on how to promote products from fish catches and other resources through digital marketing. The community no longer needs to sell processed products directly to Batam City, with no small costs and uncertain buyers. The current positive impact that has been seen is the increase in people's knowledge and insights into digital marketing and improving the community's economy from the implementation of activities.

This study is aimed to explore the relationship between Human Resources Management (HRM) and innovation in services and whether such a relationship is mediated by human capital. The data was gathered from the hospitality sector in Jordan. To evaluate the proposed hypotheses, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used via partial modeling of least squares. The research findings provide clear evidence that the Service Innovation of Jordan's hospitality was positively influenced by HRM activities and human resources. The results show many practical and theoretical effects. Results will help the hospitality sector grow creativity in their services by HRM practices and establish proper use of human capital in their employees through innovation cults. This is one of the few studies that studied the relationship between HRM activities and the sufficient of human capital on hospitality in a developing country, Jordan.

Изучена антиоксидантная активность реамберина у пациентов с черепно-мозговой травмой: 26 больных на фоне стандартной терапии получали препарат реамберин (ООО «НТФФ «ПОЛИСАН», Санкт-Петербург, Россия) внутривенно капельно 400 мл 1,5 % раствора для инфузий со скоростью до 90 капель/мин (1 – 4,5 мл/мин) 1 раз в сутки в течение 7 дней; 20 пациентов (контрольная группа) получали только стандартную терапию. Антиоксидантную активность препарата оценивали по содержанию гидроперекисей липидов, диеновых конъюгатов, малонового диальдегида и активности основных компонентов антиоксидантной системы (церулоплазмина, витамина Е, каталазы) в крови пациентов. Дополнение стандартной терапии черепно-мозговой травмы средней степени тяжести реамберином увеличивает содержание церулоплазминана на 17 %, снижает концентрацию малонового диальдегидана на 11 % и лейкоцитарный индекс интоксикации на 24 % в сравнении с контролем (p ≤ 0,05).

Производное аминогуанидина LIS-M препятствовало повреждению прямой кишки крыс при экспериментальном язвенном колите, вызванном ректальным введением уксусной кислоты. При введении соединения LIS-M в дозах 50 и 100 мг/кг количество язвенных дефектов и очагов кровоизлияний в прямой кишке было соответственно на 47 и 52 % меньше, в гомогенатах прямой кишки концентрация индуцируемой формы синтазы оксида азота была ниже на 39 – 56 %, интерлейкина-1 — на 20 – 45 %, интерлейкина-6 — на 51 – 62 %, фактора некроза опухоли-α — на 37 – 70 %, чем при язвенном колите (p < 0,05), число эритроцитов и содержание гемоглобина повышались на 10 – 12 и 14 – 16 %, соответственно, количество лейкоцитов уменьшалось на 49 – 51 %, по сравнению с показателями крови при язвенном колите (p ≤ 0,05). Сульфасалазин в дозе 200 мг/кг оказывал менее выраженное протективное действие: сохранялись увеличенными на 28 – 72 % количество очагов повреждения прямой кишки, концентрация индуцируемой формы синтазы оксида азота была больше на 30 – 81 %, цитокинов — на 28 – 85 %, сохранялась анемия по сравнению с показателями при введении LIS-M. Соединение LIS-M не всасывается в кровь и создает терапевтическую концентрацию в стенке прямой кишки. Механизм протективного действия соединения LIS-M, возможно, обусловлен уменьшением продукции оксида азота и торможением образования зависимых от оксида азота цитокинов.

The article describes studies on the effect of vitamin and mineral supplements (VMS) on the replication of coronavirus in tissue culture. The cytopathic effect of the porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (strain TO36SD192 (Japan) and the vaccine strain "RIMS" was studied on the SPEV cell line in the presence of mineral and vitamin supplements (VMS) with an increased content of vitamins A and D. The results of the study showed that the introduction of vitamin and mineral supplements into the growth medium provides an increase in the yield of the RIMS virus by 16.7 - 23%. Interestingly, at the minimum infectious dose, the presence or absence of VMS does not in any way affect the titer of the virus of the reference strain of the coronavirus TO36SD192. However, an increase in the infectious dose by only one order of magnitude (1000 TDC50 / ml) stimulates an increase in the virus titer by 22.5% in the presence of VMS. With the addition of VMS, the RIMS strain reproduced more actively and the virus titer in the experiment with the addition of VMS was 30% higher than in the control (without VMS). A further increase in the infectious dose showed a significant increase in the virus titer from 13.4% to 6.25%. It should be noted that the TO36SD192 virus, well adapted to the SPEV culture, can be compared with viruses that cause seasonal ARVI in humans, which are also well adapted in the human body, and the use of VMS during the peak of the epidemic can stimulate viral replication. Since the RIMS strain virus is poorly adapted to the SPEV culture, its action can be compared with a virus that has entered the human population, for example, SARS-CoV-2. This means that taking vitamins at any infectious dose (during an epidemic) will stimulate the disease.

In recent years strengthening of technogenic impact of the person on ecosystems, increase in circulation of chemical elements in natural complexes, including in agrobiocenoses is noted. Significantly intake of heavy metals to the environment and on a food chain in a human body increased. It is known that 70% of all alien substances get into a human body with food therefore security of products acquires special sharpness and relevance now. According to statistical data, on average the inhabitant of the republic consumes up to 48 kg of meat (61% of norm) in a year. However from the total amount of the meat products consumed by the population, the specific weight of a product of own production is no more than 37%. At the same time a considerable part of meat products of own production is made in personal subsidiary farms. The main producers of meat in the republic are the livestock farms located in Leno-Amginsky and Vilyuysk areas. However the most part of the meat products used by the population arrives because of borders of the republic. The delivery geography to the republic of meat and meat products is very extensive and covers not only regions of Russia, but also foreign countries, such as Germany, France, Spain, the USA, Denmark, China and Brazil. It is established that accumulation and distribution of compounds of heavy metals in bodies and tissues of animals directly depends on an ecological situation of the region in which they are grown up. The greatest ecological danger to production of meat is constituted by such heavy metals as lead, cadmium and copper which collect in bodies and tissues of animals for a food chain: soil-water-plant-animal. So, quantity cadmium - the containing connections in bodies and tissues of the horses who are grown up in suburban farms of Yakutsk in 6 times more than in the zherebyatena from other territories of the republic. Besides, at horses from suburban farms of Yakutsk the considerable content of compounds of cadmium in pulmonary fabric was revealed that indicates an aerogenic way of receipt of this toksikant to an organism of animals. In the conditions of Yakutia in an organism of the Yakut horses the main bodies stores of compounds of mercury, lead and cadmium are kidneys and a liver. In significant amounts lead collects also in a bone tissue. It is revealed that in an organism of horses cadmium accumulates in tens times more, than at cattle which is grown up in the same farms. At the same time the number of compounds of mercury, lead and cadmium in bodies and tissues of adult individuals are more, than at young growth. It demonstrates to constant receipt and accumulation of toksikant in an organism of animals and their slow removal.

The article presents the results of studies of the quality of silage in the canning of cere-al-legume green mass: the leaven "Yarosil, bacterial preservative, suspension" in an amount: 50 ml per ton, 275 ml per ton 500 ml per ton, containing Lactobacillus plantarum K-36, K- 64, K-65, K-72, K-74, K-87, K-167; Lactobacillus lactis subsp. lactis Ep-157, Lactobacillus paracasei Ep-154 Ep-155 Ep-156 Ep-158, Streptococcus thermophilus K-35, the concentration (total) was 1.5õ109 CFU / cm3; starter culture "Yarosil dry powder" in a dose: 1 g per ton, 5.5 g per ton, 10 g per ton The composition of the microflora was the same as in the yeast "Yarosil, bacterial preservative, suspension", but the concentration was different and amounted to "Yarosil dry powder" (total) 8õ1010 CFU / cm3. The optimal amount of introduction (dose) of the indi-cated starter cultures into the canned green cereal-legume mass has been revealed. The amount of sourdough added had an impact on the safety, chemical composition and nutritional value of the resulting haylage. More optimal results were obtained when adding the starter culture "Yar-osil bacterial preservative, suspension" in the amount of 50 ml / t to the cereal-legume green mass. The starter culture increased the crude protein content by 1.03% (the control sample con-tained 7.85%, the experimental one - 8.88%), reduced the crude fiber content by 0.74% (the control sample contained 27.13%, the experimental – 26, 39%), reduced the content of butyric acid by 0.11% in the control sample contained 0.17%, in the experimental - 0,06%). When add-ing the starter culture "Yarosil dry powder" the best result was obtained when adding 5.5 g/ t. The starter culture increased the crude protein content by 1.54% (the control sample contained 7.85%, the experimental one – 9.39 %), reduced the crude fiber content by 0.72 % (the control sample contained 27.13 %, the experimental – 26, 41%), reduced the content of butyric acid by 0.06 % in the control sample contained 0.17%, in the experimental – 0,11 %). The amount of the added starter culture did not affect the organoleptic characteristics. The resulting haylage corresponded to GOST R 55986-2014, no mold or rot was found in it, the crushed mass of plants (stems, leaves) was clearly distinguishable, had a greenish-yellow color, a pleasant, specific smell of pickled vegetables. As a result of the research, the optimal doses of the studied starter cultures were established for the quality of haylage from cereal-leguminous green mass.
