Published: January 2024

Bu çalışmada öğretmenlerin sessiz istifa davranış düzeylerini ortaya koymaya yönelik olarak psikometrik nitelikleri güçlü bir ölçme aracı geliştirme amaçlanmıştır. Geçerlik kapsamında; kapsam geçerliği için uzman değerlendirmeleri rasyonel yaklaşım temelinde sürdürülmüş, yapı geçerliliği için açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA), doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ve yakınsak geçerlik analizleri yürütülmüştür. Güvenirlik için ise ortaya çıkan üç alt faktörün Cronbach Alpha katsayılarına bakılmış ve CR birleştirici güvenirlik belirleme tekniklerine başvurulmuştur. Madde oluşturma sürecinde 48 maddelik ön deneme formu oluşturulmuştur. Ön deneme formu araştırmanın birinci çalışma grubunu oluşturan 391 öğretmene uygulanarak AFA sayıltıları test edilmiş, öz değerler, yamaç eğim grafiği ve Horn paralel analizi ile faktör sayısına karar verilmiştir. “İşe ilişkin performans”, “okula karşı ilgisizlik” ve “işe ilişkin duyarsızlaşma” olarak üç faktörlü ve 17 maddeden oluşan ölçeğin son formu oluşturulmuştur. Ölçeğin açıklanan toplam varyansı %58,64’tür. Üç faktörlü ölçek yapısının Cronbach Alpha katsayıları ise alt boyutlar bazında sırayla 0.85, 0.83, 0,74 olarak hesaplanmıştır. DFA için 17 maddelik nihai form birinci çalışma grubundan bağımsız olan 360 katılımcıya uygulanmıştır. Üç faktörlü yapının DFA bulguları model veri uyumunun sağlandığı ve madde standart yüklerinin 0,33 ile 0,89 aralığında değiştiği, tüm maddelerin t değerlerinin anlamlı olduğu, CR katsayılarının ve yakınsak geçerlik için elde edilen açıklanan ortalama varyans (AVE) değerlerinin istenen büyüklüklerde olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu bulgulardan yola çıkılarak, sessiz istifa ölçeğinin, bilimsel ve psikometrik açıdan güvenilir ve geçerli olduğu söylenebilir.

Bu araştırmada, okul öncesi eğitim sınıflarının yapısal ve işlevsel kalitesi ile bu sınıflarda eğitime devam eden çocukların sosyal beceri düzeyleri arasındaki ilişki incelenmektedir. Araştırmaya, 28 okuldaki 53 farklı okul öncesi eğitim sınıfında eğitim gören 569 çocuk ve 53 öğretmen katılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak, Genel Bilgi Formu, Sosyal Becerileri Değerlendirme Ölçeği ve Erken Çocukluk Eğitim Ortamları Ölçme Aracı kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, araştırmaya katılan sınıfların yapısal kalite özellikleri bakımından ortalama bir yeterlilikte olduğu görülmektedir. Araştırmada yer alan sınıflar işlevsel kalite bileşenleri bakımından ele alındığında; öz bakım becerilerine yönelik çalışmalar, mobilya ve araçlar ile dil ve kavram boyutlarında iyi olduğu; motor gelişimi ve yaratıcılık ile ilgili etkinliklerde nispeten daha iyi durumda olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kalite ve sosyal beceri bakımından ise sınıftaki çocuk sayısı arttıkça, çocuklarda gözlemlenen kişiler arası beceriler ile kızgınlık davranışını kontrol etme ve değişikliklere uyum sağlama becerilerinin azaldığı söylenebilir. Bununla birlikte, sınıfların işlevsel kalite göstergeleri ile çocukların sosyal becerileri arasında bir ilişki olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Linguistic Transfer: Case Study
Authors: Ramírez Osorio José Fernando , Ríos Martínez Jhon Fredy
Published: January 2024

Introduction: This article is part of a descriptive research developed between 2019 and 2022 with the students of the Modern Languages ​​Program of the University of Caldas, Colombia. It deals with the presence of other languages in a base language (language in use) ​​at the scriptural level. Objective: The main objective of the research is to explain the phenomenon of transfer in light of the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels and to be able to determine whether or not it is an ungrammaticality, as well as the reasons why this phenomenon occurs in language learning. Methodology: We made use of a method based on a series of interviews with foreign language teachers in Colombia and some surveys of language students. Results: Then a linguistic analysis was applied to a series of written texts where transfer was evident. Conclusion: Finally, it was concluded that the phenomena of transfer and interference do not occur due to the hierarchy of acquisition over learning, nor due to the kinship of languages ​​or similarities between them, but because of the affinities derived from the greater use or contact with the linguistic code.
A Method for Assessing the Level of Nonspecific Protection of the Human Body by Indicators Characterizing the Processes of Adaptation
Authors: Rodionova S. N.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of the research is to develop a method for assessing the level of nonspecific protection of the human body according to indicators characterizing the adaptation processes, the use of which in the decisive rules of forecasting and diagnosis of diseases ensures an improvement in the quality of decisions made.

Methods. Numerous sources have a fairly detailed description of the protective mechanisms of the human body, implemented by non-specific and specific protection systems, which are closely related to such concepts as: adaptive potential, adaptive reserve, functional state and functional reserve. The paper investigates the use of indicators characterizing the adaptive potential and adaptive reserves for quantifying the nonspecific level of protection of the body from the effects of heterogeneous external factors. The methodology of synthesis of hybrid fuzzy decision rules is used as a basic mathematical apparatus.

Results. The paper shows that to quantify the level of protection of the body, it is advisable to use an indicator of the activity of regulatory systems, adaptive potential, an indicator characterizing the immune-endocrine component of adaptation and an indicator characterizing the neuropsychic component of adaptation. For this system of indicators, a method has been developed to assess the level of protection based on basic indicators characterizing adaptation processes at the system-wide level, characterized by taking into account components characterizing various mechanisms for the formation of adaptive potential and adaptive reserve, taking into account the specifics of the data structure and ways of processing them for the best results in terms of quality and time of decisions. Fuzzy functions of the level of protection according to the selected system of indicators with an integral assessment of the level of protection of the body are obtained.

Conclusion. The paper shows that in order to improve the quality of forecasting and diagnosis of socially significant and occupational diseases, it is advisable to use indicators of the level of protection of the body determined by adaptive mechanisms. It is established that the quality of decision–making using the proposed models increases by 10-15%, depending on the type of tasks being solved, compared with models that do not use indicators of the level of protection of the body.

Conclusion. The developed application allows to automatically determine the size of each powder particle on the basis of the obtained images, as well as to build graphs of their size distribution. This greatly simplifies the work of nanopowder producers and facilitates the preparation of the necessary documentation for the produced product.
Health Literacy and Health Care System Confidence as Determinants of Attitudes to Vaccines in France: Representative Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Khoury Georges , Ward Jeremy K , Mancini Julien , Gagneux-Brunon Amandine , Luong Nguyen Liem Binh
Published: January 2024

Background

Health literacy involves individuals’ knowledge, personal skills, and confidence to take action to evaluate and appraise health-related information and improve their health or that of their community.

Objective

This study aimed to analyze the association between health literacy and attitude toward vaccines, adjusted with other factors.

Methods

We used the SLAVACO Wave 3, a survey conducted in December 2021 among a sample of 2022 individuals, representative of the French adult population. We investigated factors associated with the attitude toward vaccines using respondents’ different sociodemographic data, health literacy levels, and the health care system confidence levels using a multinomial logistic regression analysis.

Results

Among the participants, 440.4 (21.8%) were classified as “distrustful of vaccines in general,” 729.2 (36.1%) were “selectively hesitant,” and 852.4 (42.2%) were “nonhesitant.” In our model, the level of health literacy was not statistically different between the “distrustful of vaccines in general” and the “selectively hesitant” (P=.48), but it was associated with being a “nonhesitant” (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.86, 95% CI 1.25-2.76). The confidence in the health care system was a strong predictor for a “nonhesitant” attitude toward vaccines (aOR 12.4, 95% CI 7.97-19.2). We found a positive correlation of 0.34 (P<.001) between health literacy and confidence in the health care system, but the interaction term between health literacy and health care system confidence was not significant in our model.

Conclusions

Health literacy was associated with a “nonhesitant” attitude toward vaccines. The findings demonstrated that health literacy and confidence in the health care system are modestly correlated. Therefore, to tackle the subject of vaccine hesitancy, the main focus should be on increasing the population’s confidence and on increasing their health literacy levels or providing vaccine information addressing the needs of less literate citizens.
The Significance of a Cerebrovascular Accident Outcome Prediction Model for Patients, Family Members, and Health Care Professionals: Qualitative Evaluation Study (Preprint)
Authors: Allaart Corinne G , van Houwelingen Sanne , Hilkens Pieter HE , van Halteren Aart , Biesma Douwe H , Dijksman Lea , van der Nat Paul B
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) should be involved in setting their rehabilitation goals. A personalized prediction of CVA outcomes would allow care professionals to better inform patients and informal caregivers. Several accurate prediction models have been created, but acceptance and proper implementation of the models are prerequisites for model adoption.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assess the added value of a prediction model for long-term outcomes of rehabilitation after CVA and evaluate how it can best be displayed, implemented, and integrated into the care process.

METHODS

We designed a mock-up version, including visualizations, based on our recently developed prediction model. We conducted focus groups with CVA patients and informal caregivers, and separate focus groups with health care professionals (HCPs). Their opinions on the current information management and the model were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. Lastly, a Measurement Instrument for Determinants of Innovations (MIDI) questionnaire was used to collect insights into the prediction model and visualizations with HCPs.

RESULTS

The analysis of 6 focus groups, with 9 patients, 4 informal caregivers, and 8 HCPs, resulted in 10 themes in 3 categories: evaluation of the current care process (information absorption, expectations of rehabilitation, prediction of outcomes, and decision aid), content of the prediction model (reliability, relevance, and influence on the care process), and accessibility of the model (ease of understanding, model type preference, and moment of use). We extracted recommendations for the prediction model and visualizations. The results of the questionnaire survey (9 responses, 56% response rate) underscored the themes of the focus groups.

CONCLUSIONS

There is a need for the use of a prediction model to assess CVA outcomes, as indicated by the general approval of participants in both the focus groups and the questionnaire survey. We recommend that the prediction model be geared toward HCPs, as they can provide the context necessary for patients and informal caregivers. Good reliability and relevance of the prediction model will be essential for its wide adoption.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Remote or decentralized clinical studies allow innovative outreach opportunities, but whether that will result in improved enrollment remains unknown.

OBJECTIVE

We report our experience in identifying potential participants from various sources and testing diverse outreach and enrollment strategies within a decentralized clinical trial framework.

METHODS

We employed multiple screening and outreach methods to identify and enroll patients into an entirely remote implementation study for guideline-directed care in patients with type 2 diabetes at high risk of cardio-renal complications, within the Mass General Brigham health network. Eligible patients were identified by querying the Electronic Data Warehouse (EDW) and invited by either individualized Electronic Health Record (EHR)-portal messages, emails, or bulk EHR-portal invitations. Traditional outreach included reviewing upcoming clinic visits, accepting provider referrals, and mailing invitation letters. All patients who received the program invitation also received enrollment phone calls.

RESULTS

Of the 200 enrolled participants, 190 (95%) were identified via the EDW, 2 (1%) were identified from upcoming clinic visits, and 8 (4%) resulted from direct provider referrals. Of patients identified through the EDW queries, the rates of enrollment were: 0/3666 (0%) through bulk EHR-portal messages, 49/191 (25%) by an individualized EHR-portal message, 61/657 (9%) by e-mail and 80/588 (13%) by mailed letter . Clinic-based enrollment resulted in a 2% (2/102) enrollment rate from upcoming visits and 22% (8/36) from provider referrals. In total, traditional methods (mailed letters or clinic-based approaches) accounted for 45% (90/200) of enrollments, while electronic methods contributed to 55% (110/200).

CONCLUSIONS

Remote clinical research is feasible through less-personalized enrollment methods; however, enrollment remains labor and resource-intensive. Database queries can be used to identify many potentially eligible candidates, but electronic communications generated a low yield of interested participants, and traditional individualized approaches, including manual screening, mailed letters, and provider referrals, were required to achieve enrollment targets. To enhance the enrollment process, innovative and scalable patient engagement strategies must be developed and integrated, aiming to reduce effort and maximize efficiency.

En México, las finanzas estatales y municipales dependen casi totalmente de las transferencias federales. En los municipios indígenas esa dependencia es mayor, como en el caso de Oxchuc, en la región de Los Altos de Chiapas. El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar, a través de un análisis comparativo con otros municipios de Chiapas y Nuevo León, cómo las transferencias recibidas en el ayuntamiento de Oxchuc ocasionaron conflictos y una lucha de facciones por el control de esos recursos, que trasciende los sistemas normativos, y se mantiene en el gobierno elegido por usos y costumbres.
Internalisasi Wacana Pemberadaban Kolonial Hindia-Belanda dan Kebangkitan Ajaran Tasawuf di Jawa Abad 19: Sebuah Studi Kasus pada Dongeng Jaka Sakbar
Authors: Pratama Muhamad Fahrizal Leo
Published: January 2024

The development of Sufism studies in Java has been carried out by the palace poets in Surakarta in the 19th century. Various works resulting from the Islamization of classical Javanese literature indicate the efforts to transition from Hindu-Buddhist tradition. Along with the Islamization process in Java, in the early 19th to 20th century, Western Orientalists came with a mission to civilize the natives through the Gospel. This article discusses the teachings of Sufism in a Javanese fairy tale entitled Jaka Sakbar and its correlation to the evangelization process in Java in the 19th century. The Jaka Sakbar fairy tale is one of the story fragments in the collection of fairy tales in the Kěmpalan Dongeng Manuscript Collection of the Widyapustaka Library, Pura Pakualaman, Yogyakarta. Fairy tales are often characterized as mere fictional stories that serve only as entertainment. However, fairy tales do not rule out the possibility of becoming a means of social and religious teaching by adding elements of knowledge in a story. In addition, Sufism teachings were quite popular in Java in the 19th century, along with the growth of tarekat in the Nusantara, especially the reconciliation between Sunni Sufism and philosophical Sufism. The intention to include Sufism teachings in manuscripts in Java is a symbolic resistance by the Islamic Mataram Kingdom and Javanese poets due to colonial domination (missionaries) in the 19th century.

Perkembangan studi tasawuf di Jawa, setidaknya telah dilakukan oleh para pujangga Istana di Surakarta pada abad ke-18 hingga 19. Berbagai macam karya hasil Islamisasi terhadap karya Sastra Jawa periode klasik menujukkan terjadinya upaya peralihan dari tradisi Hindu-Budha. Bersamaan dengan proses Islamisasi di Jawa, pada rentang awal abad ke 19 hingga 20an, para Orientalis Barat datang dengan misi pemberadaban melalui kitab injil kepada kaum bumiputera. Artikel ini membahas mengenai ajaran tasawuf dalam sebuah Dongeng Jawa berjudul Jaka Sakbar dan korelasinya terhadap proses internalisasi wacana pemberadaban di Jawa pada abad ke-19. Dongeng Jaka Sakbar merupakan salah satu fragmen cerita dari kumpulan dongeng dalam Naskah Kěmpalan Dongeng Koleksi Perpustakaan Widyapustaka Pura Pakualaman Yogyakarta. Dongeng seringkali dicirikan sebagai sebuah cerita karangan belaka yang berfungsi sebagai hiburan fiktif. Akan tetapi, dongeng tidak menutup kemungkinan menjadi sebuah sarana pengajaran sosial dan agama dengan menambahkan unsur-unsur pengetahuan dalam sebuah cerita. Selain itu, ajaran tasawuf cukup digemari di Jawa pada abad ke-19 bebarengan dengan pertumbuhan tarekat di Nusantara khususnya rekonsiliasi antara tasawuf sunni dan tasawuf falsafi. Adanya intensi untuk memasukkan ajaran tasawuf dalam manuskrip di Jawa, merupakan salah satu bentuk perlawanan simbolik oleh Kerajaan Mataram Islam dan pujangga Jawa akibat dominasi kolonial (misionaris) pada abad ke-19.
The Retirement Consumption Puzzle Effect in Indonesia: Evidence from IFLS 4 and 5
Authors: Putri Margareta Vania , Sugiyanto Catur
Published: January 2024

Introduction/Main Objectives: This study aims to see whether the retirement consumption puzzle occurs in Indonesia. The retirement consumption puzzle refers to when there is a decline in consumption in retirement which is not in line with the life-cycle hypothesis. Background Problems: Previous studies have revealed that consump­tion shifts when entering retirement due to efficient spending. This research analyzes the consumption pattern of the Indonesian elderly peculiarly in the frame of the retirement consumption puzzle. Novelty: There is a lack of studies on the effect of retirement on consumption by Indonesian retirees and prior research has focused on the impact of retirement on household expenditure. Research Methods: This study uses data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 4 and 5 from the years 2007 and 2014. It uses panel data and the total sample is 2,556. It also uses the difference in differences (DiD) method to see whether the change in labor status toward retirement causes a decrease in consumption in households in Indonesia. Then, this study also uses the division of age categories as the robustness check. Finding/Results: The results of this study show that there is a retirement consumption puzzle in Indonesia indicated by a decrease of 19.9% in total expenditure per capita. Conclusion: The consumption decrease in retirement demons­trates that the government should consider pension funds and create social security programs to maintain the welfare of elderly people.
The Impact of Corporate ESG Performance on Environmental Investment
Authors: Qi Yuxi , Wang Ruimin , Wang Ruiqi
Published: January 2024

As a standard for measuring corporate sustainability and long-term value growth investment, corporate ESG performance is of great significance for evaluating corporate sustainability, guiding investment decisions and promoting corporate improvement. Based on the sample of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen that have obtained SynTao Green Finance’s ESG rating from 2011 to 2021, this paper empirically examines the role of corporate ESG performance on green investment based on the theory of “stakeholders” and the theory of “sustainable development”. The results show that: (1) good ESG performance can significantly improve the level of environmental investment, and this conclusion is still valid under a series of robustness tests; (2) The mechanism test shows that good ESG performance can expand the scale of enterprises and indirectly promote corporate green investment; (3) The intermediary mechanism test shows that there is a partial mediating effect of managerial risk appetite (Mrip) on ESG performance in environmental investment. In the new stage of accelerating the green transformation of China’s industry, Chinese enterprises urgently need to improve the green financial system, accelerate the process of green transformation, and help achieve the goals of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality”.

Filogénesis del Catecismo
Authors: Marin Tamayo John Jairo
Published: January 2024

From a historical-cultural perspective, the emergence of the textual model known as catechism is introduced. A quick tour is made in time to determine the moment in which the noun 'catechism' started designating the artifact signifying it.  The analysis shows that such a textual model is a pedagogical invention of the XVI century, transforming the religious instruction of Christian worshippers as a whole and children, in particular. This may be largely due to the shift from an oral catechesis to one based on text, an element proper of the Renaissance episteme.

Objetivo: describir el proceso participativo para el monitoreo comunitario a fin de evaluar la calidad ambiental de los ríos de las cuencas Cuitzmala y Purificación mediante un índice biótico multimétrico con insectos acuáticos previamente desarrollado para esta región.
Diseño metodológico: se propone un modelo de proceso participativo para el monitoreo ambiental. Con actores clave se seleccionaron localidades que abarcaron parte alta, media y baja de cada cuenca. Se diseñó un taller con base en protocolos para monitoreo, adecuado al contexto de las cuencas y actores elegidos. El taller consistió en cuatro etapas, en las que se capacitó con teoría y práctica. En un diario de campo se tomaron notas descriptivas respecto a lo que dijeron e hicieron los participantes.
Resultados: se conformaron seis grupos comunitarios, en cinco escuelas, y un Comité Ciudadano Ambiental. A la mayoría de los participantes les pareció bien el taller y les gustaría ampliar el número de monitoreos y los sitios a monitorear. Los participantes lograron evaluar su tramo de río con los insectos acuáticos y recomendaron continuar el acompañamiento técnico para fortalecer sus habilidades y asegurar el monitoreo a largo plazo.
Limitaciones de la investigación: aún esta actividad es considerada como extracurricular, por lo que es necesario trabajar con los docentes para que quede integrada en las materias del programa curricular de cada grado.
Hallazgos: el monitoreo comunitario de los insectos acuáticos fortalece y complementa al monitoreo científico. Esta metodología puede ser replicada en otras cuencas costeras.

Authors: Msahal Youssef
Published: January 2024

Nuestro estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el discurso de Luis Donaldo Colosio, el ex candidato a la presidencia mexicana, pronunciado el 6 de marzo de 1994 con motivo del sexagésimo quinto aniversario del Partido Revolucionario Institucional. El discurso reviste capital importancia por ser el último discurso oficial del orador antes de su asesinato, por lo cual, procuraremos situar el discurso en su contexto socioeconómico  y político para averiguar su supuesta relación con el homicidio. De igual modo, propondremos un análisis temático-semántico y sociolingüístico para detectar las diferentes técnicas utilizadas por Colosio con miras a persuadir a las masas y ganar las elecciones presidenciales.

Nuestro objetivo reside en comprender a fondo uno de los discursos que marcaron la historia contemporánea de México, y descifrar las herramientas discursivas de la comunicación política dentro del proceso sociopolítico. Además, constituye un pretexto para descubrir una etapa muy importante en la historia contemporánea de México.
La necesaria construcción de nuevos espacios educativos en América Latina: el proyecto político-educativo de las Escuelas Integrales de Michoacán en México como una alternativa posible
Authors: Bonilla Posadas Arturo
Published: January 2024

En el presente artículo se presenta el proyecto político-educativo de las escuelas integrales de Michoacán como alternativa posible en resistencia, pues a raíz de la pandemia se ha evidenciado el fracaso de la educación neoliberal, al acrecentar las brechas de desigualdad y exclusión de los sectores más pobres, debido a la falta de plataformas digitales en los sitios más remotos. En el actual contexto educativo y ante la necesidad construir nuevos espacios educativos, resulta pertinente, mirar otra vez las tradiciones educativas latinoamericanas: reconfigurar históricamente las diferentes propuestas emanadas de los propios actores educativos, así como las propuestas pedagógicas de los educadores, con ello puede contribuirse en gran medida a restaurar el tejido social de la educación pública, golpeada por la imposición de reformas neoliberales.
América Latina, entre la tecnociencia y la ficción
Authors: Durán Martínez Roberto
Published: January 2024

En este artículo muestro que la ciencia ficción latinoamericana constituye, muy posiblemente, una práctica cultural con características particulares que la distinguen de la generada en otras latitudes; en concreto, un modo especial para referirse a los complejos procesos sociopolíticos y de modernización de nuestras naciones. Para efectuar este análisis de corte teórico, realizaré un breve recorrido en dos direcciones: primero, por la ciencia ficción clásica, surgida en los países de habla inglesa, tratando de definirla; luego, por la ciencia ficción latinoamericana, enfatizando dos rasgos que parecen caracterizarla: su carácter híbrido y su preferencia por los temas cercanos a las ciencias sociales, en particular, la política y lo social.
La construcción del mito de la democracia en Chile.
Authors: Rodríguez Salazar Eric Francisco
Published: January 2024

El presente artículo realiza una crítica sobre el uso del concepto democracia en los ámbitos académico-intelectual, político institucional y en el clamor popular de los movimientos sociales en el Chile contemporáneo. Se realiza un balance entre teoría y praxis en la búsqueda y lucha por la construcción de una nueva sociedad post-dictadura en la que prevalecen procesos inexorables para definir el rumbo del sistema político y sus formas de gobierno: la lucha de clases, represión del pueblo por parte de las Fuerzas Armadas y el neoliberalismo-capitalismo impulsado por la burguesía. Identificar la transformación de los diversos procesos políticos en Chile a partir de la llamada transición a la democracia en 1990 y ubicar a sus respectivos actores, así como sus diferentes perspectivas ideológicas, permitirá establecer con claridad y sin eufemismos conceptuales, la forma de gobierno que ha prevalecido en Chile en la víspera de la posibilidad de configurar una nueva Constitución.
Development and synthesis of compounds with fungicidal activity in suppression of fungal growth
Authors: Dahaeva Fatima D. , Bachman Sarah , Gins Murat S. , Bayat Maryam
Published: January 2024

The research was conducted to synthesize and study fungicidal activity of synthesized chemical compounds of various classes, triazole and imidazole, and their mode of action due to the wide spectrum of action and low application rates. The developed synthesis methods resulted in several groups of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and evaluated their fungicidal activity. Inhibitory activity of compounds to strains of Fusarium solani (medium resistance to fungicides) and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (susceptible to most fungicides) from the collection of phytopathogenic microorganisms of Agrobiotechnological Department, RUDN University, was tested. In the synthesis of new chemical compounds with fungicidal activity, urea derivatives 1-(3-(Difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-yl)-3-(2-chlorophenyl) urea were identified and structurally confirmed. All target compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activity to inhibit mycelium growth. Preliminary screening results showed that all synthesized compounds have good fungicidal activity against S. sclerotiorum . The compound 1-(3-(Difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-yl)-3-(3-fluorophenyl) urea showed antifungal activity against S. sclerotiorum . At concentration of 100 ppm, the compound suppressed growth of S. sclerotiorum strain by 90.5 %. An in vitro experiment revealed that the compound 1-(3-(Difluoromethyl)1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-yl)-3-(3-fluorophenyl) urea was effective for suppressing white mold - S . sclerotiorum , at the dose of 100 mg/L. The significance of the research lies in the fact that production of eco-safe products in agroindustry is impossible without development of new biologically active compounds with low application rates and toxicity indicators, controlled persistence, corresponding to the world level. The results obtained can be implemented in real sector of economy engaged in production of chemical plant protection products. Synthesis and use of new fungicides are relevant in agricultural production as an element of development and intensification of existing agricultural technologies.

The chemical method is the most common to control rodents. Fast acting rodenticides (zinc phosphide and krysid) and slow-acting rodenticides divided into first- and second-g eneration anticoagulants are used for deratization practice. The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of rodenticidal activity of brodifacum for two forms of rodenticidal baits in order to control rodents in settlements and adjacent territories, on agricultural land and reduce their harm. In case of high numbers, they carry such dangerous diseases as plague, typhoid fever, paratyphs, encephalitis, rabies, tuberculosis, tularemia, etc. Fleas and ticks parasitizing mouse-like rodents transmit pathogens to pets and humans. The economic damage caused by rodents is high. They destroy and spoil food and fodder, destroy the seedlings of agricultural crops. In a year, a gray rat eats 2024 kg of food and pollutes 10 times more products. In total, two forms of baits based on brodifacoum were prepared against rodents. We proposed and tested the rodenticidal activity of the forms of baits developed in loose and soft forms. The assessment established that both forms had high biological activity, reaching 90.17 and 89.67 %. Consumption rates of poisoned baits in the form of soft briquettes were lower compared to grain baits, showing high efficiency and saving the food base for preparation of poisoned rodenticidal baits.

The problem of contamination of agricultural products with toxic substances is an urgent problem in production. One of the most chemically treated crop is vineyards. Multiple treatments during one growing season have led to the fact that grape plantings have become an accumulator of unsafe chemical plant protection products. Moreover, grapes are consumed fresh. Accordingly, the selection of environmentally friendly pesticides and the replacement of chemicals with biological ones has become a priority for producers of this crop. Our research was devoted to evaluation of bioinsecticide based on entomopathogenic bacteria B. thuringiensis in the system of protecting grapes from pests. Such studies are of great interest and, according to the literature, 90 % of registered insecticides are based on Bacillus thuringiensis . Microorganisms isolated from nature as plant protection agents, when reintroduced into natural conditions, preserve beneficial species in biocenoses. At the same time, they are selective and, while affecting certain harmful objects, do not cause harm to humans and the environment. The purpose of this work was to study the effect of the bioinsecticide Biometch Insecto, WP on grapevine pests: European grape worm ( Lobesia botrana Den. Schiff.) and leafy form of phylloxera ( Viteus vitifolii Fitch.). Biometch Insecto, WP is based on strains of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki HG207 and Beauveria bassiana HG208. The effect of entomopathogens was compared with the effect of insecticide Bioslip, BW, L, the active ingredient of which is Beauveria bassiana . The results of the research revealed high biological effectiveness (90100 %) of Biometch Insecto, WP in protecting grapevines from pests when applied during the period of mass hatching of European grape worm caterpillars and emergence of phylloxera larvae from galls.

Experiments on comparative assessment of effectiveness of bioagents to control the most significant fungal diseases were carried out on crops of potato breeding line in the Zernograd district, Rostov region. Biofungicide Metabakterin, WP based on Methylobacterium extorquens NVD VKM B-2879D + Validamycin Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. limoneus VKPM AC-1966 + Bacillus subtilis VKPM B-2918 IPM 215 and biofungicide Vitaplan based on Bacillus subtilis , strain VKM-B-2604D + Bacillus subtilis , strain VKM-B-2605D were studied in the research. The results showed that Metabakterin, WP at the rate of 80 g/ha was the most effective for control of early blight, late blight, fusarium dry rot and rhizoctonia canker on potatoes, while protection period of the biofungicide against these fungal diseases ranged from 19 to 27 days. It was noted that application rate of 80 g/ha of Metabakterin, WP provided the maximum increase in potato yield.

In the Non-chernozem zone of Russia, the recurrent spring cold up to 1-2 C can cause damage and death of thermophilic amaranth seedlings. Pre-sowing treatment of seeds with growth regulators is an inexpensive and effective method to reduce the negative effect of hypothermia on seed germination. The aim of the research was to study the effect of low-temperature stress on etiolated and de-etiolated seedlings of amaranth cv. Valentina ( A. tricolor L.) grown from seeds treated with growth stimulants. Seeds were pretreated with aqueous solutions of Albit (1 g/L), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) - 5 mM and succinic acid (ScA) - 500 mg/L. Seeds were germinated in peat pots at 23 2 C (T23) for 7 days. On the 7th day, peat pots with seedlings grown in the light and in the dark were moved to thermostat at 2.0 0.5 C (T2) for 8 hours. Determination of the amount of amaranthine, chlorophylls and carotenoids were carried out according to generally accepted methods. Pretreatment of seeds with the growth regulators Albit, H2O2, and ScA increased hypocotyl length, root length, and biomass of light and etiolated seedlings. Low positive temperatures increased the content of amaranthine and carotenoids but reduced the content of chlorophylls. It was shown that all used growth regulators - H2O2, Albit and ScA trigger or at least maintain the system of antioxidant protection in light and etiolated seedlings of amaranth cv. Valentina under low positive temperatures.

According to the long-term observations of the FAO, losses of plant-based agricultural products are estimated to be between 10 and 30 %. The main causes of these losses are plant pathogens, spoilage microorganisms, and insect pests. The study discusses the problems of ensuring phytosanitary safety of agricultural products and proposes the use of radiation technology instead of chemical treatment. Radiation technology has a long history of research and application, spanning over 75 years. The most extensive and detailed data on the application of this technology have been obtained for gamma installations, which use natural radioactive isotopes. Lowenergy (less than 300 keV) electron accelerators were invented relatively recently, so the question of their use in agriculture is relevant. Treatment with low-energy electron radiation combines all the advantages of radiation treatment of food and agricultural products with gamma radiation, and at the same time, significantly reduces the risk of damage to biological structures inside the irradiated object due to the low penetrating power of the radiation. This study notes that low-energy electron accelerators can be successfully used to combat plant infectious diseases, reducing the amount of plant pathogens on seeds, without affecting their growth parameters. The use of low-energy electron irradiation to prevent microbiological spoilage is also discussed. The nutritional qualities of irradiated products are not significantly altered. The method of radiation disinfestation (control of insect pests) using low-energy electron radiation has also proven to be effective. However, it should be noted that additional research is necessary to determine the optimal doses of low-energy radiation for each type of product and to ensure safety for human health and the environment. Generally, the use of radiation technology in agriculture has great potential and can become an effective means of improving productivity and food safety. This method of food processing has been recognized as safe for human health by several authoritative international organizations, including the UN (FAO), WHO, IAEA, and others.

The purpose of the study was to assess effect of different doses of wastewater sludge on productivity of irrigation water use by agrocenoses of potatoes (Zhukovsky rannii) and soybeans (VNIIOZ 31), on their yield, as well as the index of soil contamination and seed production. Agrometeorological conditions of the periods of vegetation experiments are characterized as dry with hydrothermal coefficient value of no more than 0.39. Considering the current climatic conditions, regulations for watering potatoes and soybeans were drawn up. It was established that application of WWS in doses of 20, 40 and 60 tha-1 had different effects on crops total water consumption. In potato crops, irrigation rate varied from 2590 m3ha-1 in the control to 1850 m3ha-1 in WWS60 variant, and in soybean crops, it varied from 3700 in the control to 2960 m3ha-1 in WWS60 variant. At the same time, amount of irrigation water to obtain a ton of potato and soybean yield in the control averaged 124.5 and 1298.2 m3t-1, respectively, against 118.372.8 and 1213.1886.2 m3t-1 for variants WWS20, WWS40 and WWS60, which corresponded to increase in water use productivity from 5.0 to 41.5 % and from 6.6 to 31.7 %, respectively. Laboratory studies of soil samples of the arable layer showed that pollution index in relation to heavy metals Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu varies from 2.54 in variant WWS20 to 4.04 in variant WWS60, which indicates the absence of soil contamination. Evaluation of potato tubers for values of starch, dry matter, nitrates and heavy metals demonstrates sufficiently high quality and acceptable level of contamination of the seeds.
