Published: February 2022

Literatürde en çok kullanılan yöntemlerden biri olan Hata Türleri ve Etkileri Analizi (HTEA), güçlü bir risk değerlendirme aracı olmasına rağmen geliştirilmesi gereken birçok zayıf yönü de bulunmaktadır. HTEA’nın kullanım etkinliğini arttırmak için çalışmada, yeni çok boyutlu süreç tipi bir HTEA (ÇBST-HTEA) yaklaşımı önerilmektedir. Önerilen ÇBST-HTEA yaklaşımının ilk adımı olan risk kriterlerinin (RK) ağırlıklandırılması aşamasında Entropi, Tercih Seçim İndeksi (Preference Selection İndex-PSI) ve Kriterler arası Korelasyon Yoluyla Kriterlerin Önem Tespiti (Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation-CRITIC) yöntemlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Bu üç farklı ağırlıklandırma yönteminden elde edilen farklı kriter ağırlıkları, geometrik ortalama operatörü kullanılarak birleştirilmiş ve nihai kriter ağırlıkları hesaplanmıştır. Önerilen yaklaşımın ikinci aşaması olan hata türleri (HT)’nin önceliklendirilmesinde ise, Ortalama Çözüm Uzaklığına Göre Değerlendirme (Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution-EDAS), Birleştirilebilir Uzaklık Tabanlı Değerlendirme (Combinative Distance-based Assessment-CODAS), Karmaşık Orantılı Değerlendirme (Complex Proportional Assessment-COPRAS) yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Ardından, söz konusu üç farklı sıralama yönteminden elde edilen farklı HT öncelikleri, Kesin Tercih Sıralama Tekniği (Technique of Precise Order-TPOP) yöntemi kullanılarak birleştirilmiştir. Son olarak, kriter ağırlıklandırma sonucunda elde edilen farklı kriter sıralamaları ve HT önceliklendirme yöntemlerinden elde edilen HT sıralamaları için Spearman Korelasyon Katsayısı hesaplanarak; elde edilen nihai ağırlıklar ve nihai sıralamalar geçerlilikleri açısından tartışılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, farklı ağırlıklandırma ve sıralama yöntemlerinin farklı bakış açıları, nihai kriter ağırlıklarına ve nihai HT sıralamalarına yansıtılmıştır. Literatürde, HTEA’da farklı ağırlıklandırma ve farklı sıralama yöntemlerini birleştiren bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Önerilen ÇBST-HTEA yaklaşımı, savunma ve havacılık sanayinde faaliyet gösteren bir firmada ortaya çıkabilecek süreç bazlı HT'lerin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla uygulanmıştır.

Published: February 2022

Histopatolojik Pap-Smear görsellerinin bilgisayarlı tanı/tespit yazılımlarıyla değerlendirilerek rahim ağzı kanser varlığının otomatik tespit edilmesi konusu aktif bir çalışma alanıdır. Bunun nedeni görsellerde bulunan nesnelerin (hücre çekirdeği, sitoplazma, beyaz kan hücresi, bacil ve benek) üstüste gelerek birbirinin geometrik yapısını ve desenini değiştirmesi, farklı yoğunlukta görüntüye dağılmaları, ve gürültü modellerinin farklı olmalarıdır. Ayrıca etiketlenmiş büyük veri kümesi oluşturmadaki zorluk ve maliyetler bu alanda ortak bir veri kümesinin ortaya çıkmasını engellemiştir. Bahsedilen zorluklar mevcut sınıflandırma çalışmalarındaki başarımları olumsuz etkilemekte ve yeni yaklaşımlara olan ihtiyacı tetiklemektedir. Bu çalışmada, Çekişmeli Üretken Ağlar (ÇÜA) kullanılarak büyük Pap-Smear veri kümeleri inşa etmeye dayalı üç aşamalı bir yaklaşım önerilmektedir. Buna göre ilk aşamada, Pap-Smear görsellerindeki her bir nesne yapısının geometrik şekil ve desen modelleri oluşturulmaktadır. İkinci aşamada, üretilen parametrik modeller kullanılarak istenilen sayıda ve dağılımda nesneye sahip sentetik Pap-Smear görselleri (Ground True) üretilmektedir. Üçüncü aşamada, mevcut ÇÜA’ların (Pix2Pix, CycleGAN, DiscoGAN ve AttentionGAN) GT’yi üretme performansları değerlendirilmekte ve çözüm odaklı yeni bir güncel ÇÜA mimarisi (Pix2PixSSIM) önerilmektedir. Yapılan deneysel çalışmalar, önerilen ÇÜA mimarisiyle oldukça kısa bir sürede büyük Pap-Smear veri kümesinin üretilebildiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu sayede yüksek sınıflandırma başarısına sahip derin ağların eğitilebileceği görülmektedir.

Published: February 2022

Social networks are appointed as an opportunity to socially normalize disability, as demonstrated by the growing number of influencers with a disability who are followed by millions of users. Likewise, intellectual disability has its place in the networks, with special relevance among influencers with Down syndrome. In this study, a content analysis of 10 accounts of influencers with Down syndrome from seven different countries was performed. Images, videos, comments, and other interactions with their followers were analyzed. The preliminary results described the influencer profiles, the type of content posted, and their relationship with sponsoring brands. These results indicate that social networks allow them to make their interests visible, take part in the digital environment, and interact with their audience, being a positive influence that promotes respect for diversity. These platforms are positioned as powerful tools for the construction and dissemination of inclusive values and the empowerment of disabled people, minimizing controversial questions such as the instrumentalization of the disability and its association with clichés. With all the analyzed results, it is possible to evidence that Instagram can be considered a privileged network that could be utilized for the eradication of barriers and to ease the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in the public sphere. The conclusions are relevant for the scientific community given that they will allow us to achieve social inclusion, thanks to the impact of the posts from the influencers with disability.
Simulation of eddy current testing of steam generator tubes with wear and secondary side magnetite deposits
Authors: Sollier T , Decitre J-M , Vigneron A , Demaldent E
Published: February 2022

The steam generator (SG) tubes of pressurised water reactors are prone to degradation and are periodically inspected using eddy current testing (ECT) techniques. SGs provide a safety barrier between the radioactive primary side and the non-radioactive secondary side. Historically, a
major degradation issue was stress corrosion cracking of tubes made of alloy 600. In modern SGs, better resistance to stress corrosion cracking is observed with the replacement of alloy 600 by alloy 690. However, this alloy does not prevent tubes from wear at support locations or wear resulting
from fretting with loose parts. Long-term operation of SGs also leads to non-volatile species accumulation in the secondary side of the SGs, mainly magnetite. Magnetite deposits may build up as a dense and solid material on top of the tubesheet (hard sludge) and also in the flow slots of tube
support plates, therefore modifying the general flow pattern and velocity of the secondary fluid. This has detrimental effects on the safe operation of SGs. The clogging-up ratio of the flow slots therefore needs to be assessed. The development of an ECT simulation model to address tube wear
and magnetite deposits in SGs is presented. This model is based on the CIVA NDT platform. A bobbin coil signal is simulated and its performance for tube wear and magnetite deposit evaluation is discussed.
Evaluating Different Approaches for the Hazard-Consistent Assessment of the Seismic Performance of Dams
Authors: Macedo Jorge , Ramesh Venkataraman , Liu Chenying , Kottke Albert
Published: February 2022

The current state of practice in the seismic assessment of dams relies on pseudoprobabilistic approaches in which the estimation of ground-motion intensity measures (IMs) is decoupled from the estimation of seismically induced displacements (D). In contrast, in a performance-based approach, which is gaining more popularity in practice, the entire IM hazard curve is used to provide displacement hazard curves (DHCs). Thus, engineers can directly estimate the displacement associated with a selected design hazard level, which is more consistent with performance-based design concepts. This study evaluates different approaches to estimate D in performance-based assessments that use D predictive equations, analytical D models, and advanced numerical modeling. To enable a comparison of different approaches under a hazard-consistent D assessment, we propose using the conditional scenario spectra (CSS) framework to select ground motions that directly reproduce the IM hazard. We perform the evaluations by comparing DHCs for a rockfill dam using (1) the convolution of D predictive models and the IM hazard, (2) the CSS approach combined with dynamic analyses performed with analytical models (i.e., stick-slip and transfer function models), and (3) the CSS approach combined with advance numerical modeling. The results show that the DHCs estimated from advanced numerical modeling are more conservative, which is associated with the inherent assumptions in D predictive equations or analytical D models formulated based on “Newmark-type” calculations. Finally, we discuss the differences between the different approaches to estimate D and provide insights in the context of pseudoprobabilistic-based estimates.

This paper presents the simulation results of electric field distribution within suspension insulators on different stress control techniques under dry-clean and polluted conditions. Finite element method (FEM) is adopted to estimate the electric field behaviour along the insulator profile. For this study, COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.3a is used to perform the modelling and executing the field analysis. The effectiveness of zinc-oxide (ZnO) micro-varistor and grading ring as mitigation tools for the electric field intensity enhancement was examined in this study. The reference data from the dry-clean condition was used as the benchmark to examine the effect of pollution on electric field distribution on the insulator surface. It was found that the application of the combined techniques of ZnO micro-varistor and grading ring is the best scheme for stress control as it reduced the electric field intensity up to almost 84% for both dry-clean and polluted conditions. This study also found that the positioning the grading and corona ring is crucial as it will affect the electric field intensity distribution

Published: February 2022

The modern wireless systems call for integrating multiple applications. There are numerous techniques available to cater these demands. However the need for thin, light weight and compact wireless applications call for the design of low profile and single layer antennas with multiple features. Hence, this paper deliberates on the comprehensive review of compact, low profile, and single layer microstrip antennas suitable for fifth generation (5G) wireless applications, wireless local area network (WLAN), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (Wi-Max), and other state of the art wireless applications. The techniques discussed here consider the performance improvement of one or more parameters of the antenna. These parameters include the improvement of impedance (10dB return loss) bandwidth, gain, 3dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth, improvement of isolation between the ports in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas, and excitation of dual modes/dual polarization/circular polarization. Antennas with all such techniques and their advantages, applications & limitations have been discussed in detail. The studies presented here on single layer planar antennas offer a maximum impedance bandwidth of up to 68%, highest axial ratio bandwidth of 46%, and 11.6dBi gain for single element & 25.6dBi gain for arrays. Other significant findings covered are antennas with triple bands operation, arrays with less than -37.5dB mutual coupling and compact antennas with more than 60% reduction in physical area. In addition to the advantages and applications, their limitations and drawbacks are also discussed.

Published: February 2022

Drone technology also referred to as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provides many benefits to wireless communication systems. In the coming years, the linked drones will be commonly used in different fields such as delivery methods, monitoring services, and defense networks etc. However, security and logical characterization of handover probability in drone systems is still a big problem. Various fuzzy based methods were proposed by a number of researchers to resolve these issues, but the problem with conventional methods was that they considered only limited dependency factors. However, there are some other dependency factors as well that affect the performance of the drones. In this research, a fuzzy based decision model is proposed. The proposed fuzzy system uses five dependency factors such as coverage, speed limit, cost, connection time and security as inputs. To process these inputs 160 rules are defined in the given fuzzy system in order to produce an output in terms of handover probability. The performance analysis of the traditional and proposed model is analyzed in the MATLAB software when they were moving in random and straight directions, in terms of estimation level, PDR, throughput and delay. The simulation results showed that the proposed model is efficient and stable as compared to traditional fuzzy system.

Published: February 2022

Accurate prediction of high frequency behavior for the degraded contact surface is of great significance for the reliability evaluation of the connector. A prediction algorithm of neural network is proposed to forecast the high frequency scattering parameters under different degrada-tion levels. The degraded high frequency parameters are extracted according to the developed equivalent model. Simulations are conducted to predict the scattering para-meters at the specific frequencies using the BP (back propagation) and Elman neural networks, and the prediction accuracy is further compared. Moreover, the scattering parameters at 3.1GHz to 3.5GHz are predicted for the two degradation levels, which provides the variations under higher frequency.

Published: February 2022

On board energy management system for Electric Vehicle (EV) defines the fuel economy and all electric range. Charging and discharging of energy storage devices take place during running as well as stand-still conditions. Battery-alone EV suffers from range anxiety, current drain during peak power demand and less battery life. It depends on the grid for charging and thus the increasing popularity of EV is increasing burden on the grid. Different energy storage devices are available which could be used on board to form a hybrid energy storage system. Batteries, Ultra-capacitors and fuel cells are some of them. Such a system will act as a stress reduction factor and increase the battery life. In this paper, a detail literature review of various energy storage devices that can be used in EV is presented. A comparative study of various topologies available for this purpose is also presented. Finally, a detailed review of Energy Management Strategy (EMS) is presented with current trends and research gaps i.e., challenges.

Published: February 2022

The article describes a new structural and technological scheme of a thermal vacuum extruder, where chambers for preliminary and final dehydration of the finished product interact with each other by means of an ejector. The steam pumped out of the final dehydration chamber by means of a vacuum pump moves to the high-pressure part of the ejector and is removed outside for regeneration of the thermal energy spent on machine technological process. Simultaneously, this air flow ensures the steam movement from preliminary dehydration chamber of the extruder to the low-pressure part of the ejector. In order to substantiate the aerodynamic parameters of the ejector by computer simulation methods, an ejector model of a thermal vacuum extruder was obtained on the basis of Solidworks Flow Simulation package, and its finite element analysis was also performed. The aerodynamic study of the ejector enabled to check the scheme operability and analyze the degree of steam removal from the chamber for preliminary dehydration of the extrudate. The air flow in the ejector was studied to obtain data on the required capacity (supply) of the vacuum pump and a map of distribution of air flows and pressures. Maps of pressure distribution inside the ejector and the pressure at the inlet to the low-pressure nozzle were obtained in the process of modeling the object of the research. We considered a model of an ejector with the initial volume parametres of the flow rate of 4 m3 / h and 8 m3 / h for the incoming high-pressure flow. The obtained results made it possible to substantiate the required flow rate of the vacuum pump and evaluate the degree of steam removal from the preliminary dehydration chamber. The ultimate goal of the data presented in the work is to increase energy efficiency of thermal vacuum treatment of plant raw materials and to simplify technological equipment adjustments for its implementation.

Dogs’ obesity in is a common pathology and is associated with genetic factors, feeding, housing conditions, physical inactivity. Many pathogenesis aspects of obesity development of small domestic animals are poorly studied, in particular, the development of dysfunction of the cardiovascular system is an insufficiently explored issue. The aim of this study was to study clinical, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and biochemical parameters of blood serum of obese dogs. The objects of the study were Dachshund dogs with obesity (n = 12) and clinically healthy animals (n = 16). All animals went through a complex clinical examination, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and laboratory studies. Parametric and nonparametric methods of statistical analysis were used in the study. It was found that dogs’ obesity is characterized by a significant increase of the respiratory rate at rest and during sleep, pulse rate, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure. It was shown that in case of dogs’ obesity, there is a slight increase of the end-diastolic size and thickness of the free wall of the left ventricle, a shortening of the PQ interval, and voltage decrease of P, R, T deflections on electrocardiograms. There were no violations of contractility and systolic function of the left ventricular myocardium of obese dogs. It was found that the activity of alkaline phosphatase, alanine and aspartic aminotransferases, the concentration of cholesterol, triglycerides, total protein, malondialdehyde and ceruloplasmin significantly increased in blood serum of obese dogs. Dogs’ obesity does not form dogs’ syndrome of cytolysis of cardiomyocytes, as evidenced by unchanged serum activity of lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase and cardiac troponin concentration.

Otodectosis of various animal species is quite widespread in different climatic and geographical zones. Currently, there is a tendency towards otodectosis increase among small domestic animals. It is caused by various factors – a rise in the number of animals, lack of preventive treatments. The disease is highly contagious. In addition, there is a risk of developing serious complications such as meningitis, brain abscess, which can lead to animal death. In this regard, the problem of otodectosis therapy is an urgent issue. Presently, the market for antiparasitric medications is diverse. However, it should be noted that not all of them have a pronounced therapeutic effect and are safe for the animals. We tested the new medication Insakar Total K, developed by the employees of the All-Russian Research Institute of Fundamental and Applied Parasitology of Animals and Plants - a branch of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “Federal Research Center - All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Veterinary Medicine of RAS (Moscow).

The study of new suspension cell lines for rabies virus cultivation is a topical area of biotechnology. The article presents results of specification of sensitivity of BNK-21 / SUSP / ARRIAH subline to the rabies virus of “RV-97” strain. A comparison of two highly potential suspension cell cultures of VNK 21 for production of viral material with a high titer of infectious activity is shown [1]. The estimation of the titers of the rabies virus of “RV-97” strain (lg’T, CCID 50 / cm3) was carried out, the titers were established after 48 hours of cultivation in the suspension subline of VNK -21 cells, according to the cell suspension concentration and the multiplicity of infection. Suspensions of VNK-21 cells with concentrations of 700 and 1000 (thousand cells / cm³) were tested. The multiplicity of infection was 0.01; 0.1 and 0.5 CCID 50 / cell. It was found that VNK-21 / SUSP / ARRIAH subline at a concentration of 1 mln. cells / cm³ has advantages over VNK-21 / 2-17 subline and allows, at a multiplicity of infection of 0.1 CCID 50 / cell, to achieve the accumulation of the rabies virus of “RV-97” strain up to 8.25 lg CCID 50 / cm3. The listed conditions were considered suitable for cultivation of this strain. Statistical analysis of the data for substantiation of the shortest cultivation time, which allows to obtain the largest virus yield was carried out. It was determined that the peak titer value, established after 48 hours of cultivation (lg’T48 = 8.250), significantly exceeded all previous values. However, there were no significant differences from the peak estimate (p> 0.05) in subsequent samples (lg’T58 = 7.917; lg’T72 = 7.833).

The efficiency of agricultural automotive machinery largely depends on the engine quality. The characteristics of an internal combustion engine depend on the quality of gas exchange between its cylinders and the environment. The mechanical drive of the valves of the gas distribution mechanism does not allow to improve gas exchange for all operating modes of the engine. To improve the performance of the internal combustion engine, an electronically controlled accumulator hydraulic valve drive, independent of the crankshaft position, is proposed. Such drive provides flexibility in controlling the valve open time and the moment of its opening, while possessing sufficient compactness and speed. The scheme of such drive with a two-way hydraulic power cylinder which is controlled by a slide valve with a piezomechanical drive is proposed. The choice of the distributor drive is conditioned by its high speed. This actuator is powered by the electronic unit of engine control. The drive working body is the engine oil. To study the influence of various factors on hydraulic drive operation, a computational model was compiled in Simulink environment. It takes into account the path and local losses of oil pressure, inertial phenomena of the liquid column, friction in the drive elements of the engine valve, fluid leakage through the gaps. Computational studies of hydraulic drive were carried out on the basis of the model. The influence of oil leaks and wave phenomena in the drive lines, oil temperature, crankshaft rotation speed and pressure drop on the engine valve plate on its operation was revealed. It is proved that the actuator remains operational down to -20 ° C when using SAE 10W-30 oil, has sufficient response speed and provides greater valve capacity compared to valves with a traditional drive up to 5700 rpm.

Exterior assessment is important for specification of constitutional strength of an individual animal and its acclimatization ability, as well as its productive orientation. The object of our research was Holstein first-calf heifers of the black-and-white breed prevailing on the farms of Moscow region. Studies were conducted with application of linear estimation of the animal body type of 54,170 animals. Animals are divided into 5 groups depending on the lineage: Vis Back Ideal 1013415, Reflection Sovering 198998, Pabst Governer 882933, Montvik Chieftain 95679 and other lines. Most of the animals had parameters in the range of 4 ... 6 points. With greater reliability (p≤0.001) and in the course of the dispersion analysis, it was found that it affects the rump bone height, position of the quarters, the height of the back lobes, the length of the nipples, the width of the quarters and the angle of the back legs from the side (p≤0.01). The heritability of the rump bone height (0.27 ... 0.38) and milk type (0.16 ... 0.36) in almost of all studied lines was within moderate limits. A high occurrence of such constitutional defects as soft ankles (4.16 ... 13%), oblique udder bottom (1.78 ... 5.02%), high tail (2.75 ... 8.07%) and roof-like quarters (1.08 ... 3.77%) was noted in such lines of first-calf heifers as Vis Back Ideal 1013415, Reflection Sovering 198998 and Montvik Chieftain 95679. Animals of all the studied groups have high genetic correlations between the rump bone height and other parameters of constitutional assessment: Montvik Chieftain line has 95679 positive pairs 8 ( 0.63 ± 0.0032 ... 0.97 ± 0.0005) and 5 negative pairs (-0.66 ± 0.0041 ... -0.97 ± 0.0045); Vis Back Ideal 1013415 - 2 positive pairs (0.48 ± 0.0007... 0.66 ± 0.0006); Reflection Sovering 198998 - 4 positive pairs (0.41 ± 0.0009 ... 0.62 ± 0.0007); Pabst Governer 882933 - 3 positive (0.55 ± 0.0092 ... 0.74 ± 0.0071) and 2 negative pairs (-0.62 ± 0.0174). The obtained results reveal wide selection possibilities in dairy herds.

One of the main problems in rearing and organization of feeding of suckling piglets is early training of eating various feeds and special compound feeds, prevention of various diseases (diarrhea, anemia). The only food for sucking pigs is sow milk for the first two weeks, thus, the piglets receive the required amount of nutrients up to 3 weeks of age. However, they need to be additionally fed from the first days of life. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of usage of special compound feeds (superstarter, prestarter, starter) as creep feeding and feeding of suckling piglets, as well as an immunostimulant to maintain their health, better growth and development. As a result of the research, it was revealed that suckling piglets which received special superstarter, prestarter and starter feed depending on age, as well as young animals, which were additionally injected i.m. with an immunostimulant, had higher survivability by 6.97% in the 1st experimental group and by 7.3% - in the 2nd experimental group, as well as higher growth rate. Suckling pigs of the second experimental group grew much better in the experimental period (60 days), their weight was 17.68 kg, which was higher than in the control group by 1.2 kg or 7.28% and 0.63 kg or by 3.7% in the first experimental group, respectively. The milk yield of sows in the 2nd experimental group was 59.0 kg, which is more than in the control by 11.1 kg or 23.2% and in the 1st experimental group - by 2.75 kg or 4.9%. The deviation between the experimental piglets of the control and the 1st experimental group for this parameter was 8.35 kg or 17.4% in favor of the 1st experimental group.

In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the study of polymorphic genetic systems of blood proteins and their application as indicators of the most objective assessment of breeding qualities of farm animals. Specification of blood groups of Russian and Lithuanian heavy breed mares was carried out according to the methodological recommendations developed by R. Μ. Dubrovskaya and I. Μ. Starodumov. The erythrocyte antigens of Α and D blood groups of horses were typed with the help of monospecific sera. By the method of family analysis, the alleles and genotypes of mares were determined according to the D blood group system. Using the Hardy-Heinberg formula, the frequencies of genes were determined by simple counting. An AM-2 analyzer was used to analyze mare milk for total protein content. The studied breeds of mares are characterized by a high occurrence frequency of Dad, Dde, Ddghm alleles. Great significance of antigenic similarity in D blood group system between the Lithuanian and Russian heavy breeds indicates genetic similarity of these breeds. The relationship between total protein content and immunogenetic parameters was determined. High protein content of Lithuanian heavy breed mares is associated with the presence of DdkDcgm genotypes; as for Russian heavy mares - genotypes DbcmDdghm. Taking into account the revealed positive relationships of immunogenetic indicators with the milk protein content of mares of heavy breeds, it is possible to recommend application of the results obtained to adjust the selection for breeding work.

An increase of warm period durati on has been recorded in the Central Non- Black Soil region in recent years, which occurs due to a rise of the number of days with positi ve temperatures: the transiti on through 0 ° C towards an increase in temperatures occurs earlier, and towards a decrease - later than the accepted average long-term values. The aim of the research was to analyze the parameters of climate change in the Central Non-Black Soil Region and to indicate the displacement of the northern border of the acceptable distributi on of soybean crops in the region. As a result of studying of agrometeorological database for a 40-year period from 1981 to 2020, the Central Economic Region of the Non-Black Soil Zone of the Russian Federati on was noti onally divided into 3 agroecological regions: northern, central and southern. The division was based on climati c temperature factors - the average temperature during the vegetati on season and the sum of acti ve temperatures during the growing season. Along with temperatures, the amount of precipitati on and the value of HTC for the vegetati on season were analyzed. Changes of agroclimati c conditi ons in the agroecological regions of the Central Economic Region of the Non-Black Soil Zone of the Russian Federati on are currently signifi cantly diff erent: as for the northern agroecological region (Tver, Yaroslavl, Kostroma regions), the sum of temperatures is 2000–2200 ° С, the HTC is 1.4–1.7, the amount of precipitati on is 285– 295. The sum of temperatures in the central agroecological region (Smolensk, Moscow, Kaluga, Vladimir, Ivanovo regions) is 2200–2400 ° C, the HTC is 1.1–1.4, the amount of precipitati on is 265–285. And the sum of temperatures in the southern agroecological region (Bryansk, Oryol, Ryazan, Tula regions) is 2400–2600 ° С, the HTC is 0.7–1.1, the amount of precipitati on is 255–265. In general, the local climate change in the Central Economic Region of the Non-Black Soil Zone of the Russian Federati on led to a shift of the sum isotherm of acti ve temperatures by 150–200 km towards high lati tudes. Early varieti es of soybeans are able to form a stable yield in the changed weather conditi ons of the Central Economic Region of the Non-Black Soil Zone of the Russian Federati on. Biological temperature minima are maintained at all stages of growth and development, maturati on occurs in August - early September.

The article presents results of the studies carried out in a 3-factor field experiment to assess the comparative productivity of grain corn hybrids, methods of plant protection from weeds and the effectiveness of leaf feeding with nitrogen and zinc-containing products. Studies showed that NK Gitago FAO 200 and SI Fenomen FAO 220 hybrids are distinguished by higher productivity. In protecting plants from weeds, the application of herbicides is more effective in comparison with mechanical treatment of corn row spacing, while the yield increased by 0.59 - 1.10 t / ha or 7.9 - 14.7%. Leaf dressing with Isagri Nitrogen at a dose of 2 l / ha at the phase of 3-5 leaves increased the yield by 0.18 t / ha or 2.3%, the variant with Izagri Nitrogen at a dose of 2 l / ha + Izagri Zn at a dose of 1 l / ha - by 0.58 t / ha or 7.4%. Relations between the grain yield and the duration of interfacial periods were established, as well as adic factors and conditions of growth and development of corn plants in agrocenoses (content of productive moisture in the soil, plant density, number and weight of weeds before harvesting).

INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CONCEPT OF POSTSECULAR SOCIETY IN RUSSIA
Authors: Anastasia V. Matetskaya
Published: February 2022

The article deals with the problem of interpreting J. Habermas' concept of the postsecular society. It is pointed out that in Russian academic and journalistic discourse the concept of postsecular society is often conflated with the notion of de-secularization and often identified with the end of the secular age. Such an interpretation differs from the original meaning of the concept. The difference is due to the specifics of the religious situation in contemporary Russia.
