Published: May 2024

All students living in the world should have an equal opportunity to get a proper education. Education is one of the most important factors that determine one’s future well-being. Currently, special attention is being paid to the education of students with special needs around the world. As a result, the facilities and new technical knowledge required for people with special needs are expanding. Among students with special needs, visually impaired students face many problems in education. The primary purpose of this research was to identify the problems faced by visually impaired students in higher education. Purposive sampling method was used to select students for the research. Sample consists of 74 visually impaired undergraduates studying at the universities of Sri Jayewardenepura, Colombo, Kelaniya, Jaffna, and Eastern university of Sri Lanka. The problems faced by visually impaired students were analyzed based on the information obtained through interviews, structured questionnaire and in-depth interviews (with 05 selected students). The main issue pointed out by all the students (100%) was the lack of books for them to use related for their study programs. This is the main reason for confining visually impaired students to a limited number of subject areas in university education. Also, past papers are not available in Braille or any accessible medium for them to refer prior to the examinations. Introducing new subjects or degree program that fit for their necessities and occupation opportunities, preparation of audio books to cover more subject areas and providing a training for students to use computers for examinations are the possible solutions for the academic well-being of visually impaired students. It is important to emphasize that providing equal opportunities alone is not sufficient; it is essential to offer required opportunities that meet their specific needs.
Impact of Exchange Rate Shock on Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeria.
Authors: Adeniji­ Sesan Oluseyi , Lasaki Ajibola Ivie
Published: May 2024

This study examines the underlying forces of foreign direct investment (FDI) response to the exchange rate shock in Nigeria, covering the period 1981 to 2021. Including long-run analysis, this study employs the VEC model innovation accounting as an econometric analysis technique. The outcomes reveal that in the long run, exchange rate appreciation, a thriving domestic investment environment, and economic size positively drive foreign inflows. Conversely, rising economic instability, particularly associated with increasing price levels, negatively impacts foreign investment. The Innovation accounting analysis indicates that FDI positively responds to shocks in exchange rates, GDP, and capital. However, the strength of these responses diminishes over time. The relationship with consumer price index (CPI) shocks appears more complex, with varying reactions over the specified horizon. Hence, policymakers are urged to prioritize exchange rate stability, promote economic growth and innovation, and enhance the domestic investment environment. Addressing economic instability and inflation is crucial, necessitating robust policies to maintain economic stability. Continuous monitoring of CPI is advised, and long-term policy planning is recommended to ensure sustained positive impacts on FDI. Additionally, international collaboration is encouraged to foster a stable global investment environment.

The 5 love languages of children (Chapman; Campbell, 2017): are its two main principles academically valid for qualitative research and teacher training?
Authors: Bohn Lilian , Trezzi Clóvis , Felicetti Vera Lucia
Published: May 2024

This paper presents a qualitative analysis of seven quantitative academic studies on two main concepts from Gary Chapman's five love languages theory, the foundation of “The 5 love languages of children”. These studies were selected from a literature review conducted in 2021 through the State of Knowledge methodology. The texts were analyzed using the Discursive Textual Analysis technique. This article aims to show what has been studied on Chapman’s theory outside Brazil. Three of the studies confirmed the empirical validity of each of the five love languages as proposed in Chapman’s thesis. Additionally, two academic works empirically validated the primary love language hypothesis. Findings indicate both of Chapman’s claims as empirically valid concepts through quantitative research. Results suggest that these principles in the realm of childhood could be meaningful to qualitative research – on education and teacher training – to improve both teaching and learning processes.

Introduction: One of the biggest problems in cotton farming in the Comarca Lagunera, Mexico, is the low efficiency of irrigation, since the large quantities of water used for this crop result in water shortages. Objectives: To determine the response function of the cotton crop to different soil moisture contents, as well as the water use efficiency. Methodology: Seven treatments were evaluated in the field: 40-40, 40-80, 60-60, 60-100, 80-40, 80-80 and 100-60 % of available moisture consumed (AMC) by the cotton plant at two phenological stages. Treatments were distributed in a randomized block design with four replications. Results: The highest cotton yield (8.7 Mg∙ha-1) was obtained with the treatment that developed under 63 and 62 % AMC at the first and second stages of development, respectively, by consuming 97 cm of water. Limitation of the study: The models do not predict satisfactorily when extrapolating outside the range of moisture levels considered in the study. Originality: No studies have been reported on extreme favorable and unfavorable conditions of soil moisture content in cotton to know its productive response. Conclusions: The obtained model maximizes cotton production (8.74 Mg∙ha-1) with a water deficit of 59 and 56 % AMC. The highest water productivity (0.945 kg∙m-3) was obtained with 81 and 82 % AMC and 78 cm of water consumption.

Ultraviolet Shielding Performance of Coconut Coir as a Filler in Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Plastic Mulch
Authors: Andreansyah Ilham , Mentari Puji Rizana Ayu , Rahman Herliati , Syamani Firda Aulya
Published: May 2024

Plastic mulch is a layer of material applied to the soil surface to maintain moisture retention in the soil by preventing evaporation, reduce weed growth by blocking sunlight from reaching underlying weeds, and optimize fertilizer use by minimizing nutrient loss to the environment. However, the degradation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a thermoplastic commonly used for mulching, into microplastics due to exposure to UV radiation. This research explored the potential of coconut coir, a natural fiber with a high lignin content ranging from 30 to 46%, as a UV protective agent. The objective was to develop biodegradable plastic-based mulch composites that have better resistance to UV exposure by incorporating coir as a filler material in LDPE-based composites. Different ratios of coconut fiber were used (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%), and Maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MAH) was used as a binder at 2% of total weight mixed with LDPE in a rheomixer (80 rpm, 120°C for 10 min). The resulting plastic mulch bio-composites were evaluated for thermal, mechanical, UV resistance, and biodegradability properties. The results showed that the higher addition of coconut coir resulted in a decrease in the thermal and mechanical characteristics of the composite. However, the addition of higher coconut coir in the composite at 40% can provide an increase in the composite's resistance to ultraviolet light exposure, and the properties are easily degraded by the environment (biodegradable).

Published: May 2024

The effect of starch addition in chitosan adhesive on the physical and mechanical properties of petung bamboo particleboard from bamboo-sawing waste was investigated in this work. The utilization of bamboo-sawing waste particles as a raw material for particle board manufacturing has been gaining attention due to its waste reduction potential and economic advantages. The results of this study indicated that starch has been proven to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of petung bamboo particleboard. Adding only 4% wt. of chitosan/starch adhesive with a chitosan/starch ratio of 7/3 (w/w) has resulted in an improvement in the physical properties of the particleboard, such as moisture content, thickness swelling, and water absorption. It has also enhanced the mechanical properties of the particle board, including modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and internal bonding (IB), in comparison to chitosan adhesive without starch addition. Overall, these findings provide insights for further developing chitosan/starch adhesive, especially to produce natural-based adhesives with good bonding quality.
Role of Social Media Platforms in the Spread of Fake News in Nyeri County, Kenya
Authors: Munene Martin Migwi , Oloo Daniel
Published: May 2024

Fake news is widespread in elections, especially during presidential elections. It has the potential to divide public opinion and create a hostile environment in which people feel their voices aren't being heard. The current study aimed to explore the role of social media platforms in the spread of fake news in Nyeri County. The study is anchored in agenda-setting theory. A mixed-methods approach is used. The population comprised adults in Nyeri County, registered journalists, bloggers, and social media experts, as well as politicians in the county. A sample of 195 respondents was calculated using the modified formulas by Fisher. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data, respectively. Quantitative analysis consisted of frequencies and percentages using Microsoft Excel. The qualitative data collected was analyzed using content analysis with the help of NVIVO software. The results of quantitative analysis were presented in the form of tables and figures, while those of qualitative data analysis were presented using narration. The study found that social media was the main source of fake news. Facebook and Twitter had the highest prevalence of fake news, with 87% and 72% of the respondents indicating that they witnessed fake news on the apps, respectively. The study therefore concluded that social media was the biggest source of fake news in Nyeri County. The study recommended that social media companies, especially Facebook and Twitter, should take more responsibility by implementing laws to protect against the spread of fake news. This can include flagging fake news and implementing tough penalties for users spreading propaganda on the internet.
IMPROBIDADE ADMINISTRATIVA FUNDAMENTADA NO NEPOTISMO: LIMITES DE CONFIGURAÇÃO NA JURISPRUDÊNCIA DO STF
Authors: Santos Júnior Eduardo Mikael Ribeiro dos , Oliveira João Vitor Teixeira de , Costa João Santos da
Published: May 2024

O presente trabalho aborda a intersecção entre a improbidade administrativa e o nepotismo no contexto político e administrativo brasileiro. Considerando a recorrência do tema e seus desdobramentos éticos, morais e legais, a pesquisa visa compreender os elementos essenciais para a configuração dessa irregularidade e os parâmetros estabelecidos pela jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) para seu reconhecimento. O objetivo principal é contribuir para o debate acadêmico e jurídico acerca do nepotismo e sua relação com a improbidade administrativa. Busca-se fornecer subsídios para a compreensão dessa problemática, delineando os limites e as diretrizes estabelecidos pela mais alta corte do país, a fim de enriquecer o arcabouço teórico e prático do Direito Administrativo no Brasil. Para alcançar os objetivos, optou-se pelo emprego do método bibliográfico. Tal escolha se justifica pela necessidade de embasar teórica e metodologicamente o trabalho, por meio da análise sistemática de materiais selecionados em diversas fontes, fornecendo diferentes perspectivas sobre o assunto. O estudo está dividido em três partes. O primeiro recai sob conceituação, classificação e configuração normativa da improbidade administrativa; em seguida, a definição e caracterização do nepotismo, juntamente com as diferentes vertentes, enfatizando os requisitos essenciais para configuração. Por último, a jurisprudência do STF relacionada ao nepotismo como fundamento para a improbidade administrativa e seus reflexos na Administração Pública, além de identificar suas exceções. A análise da eficácia da Súmula Vinculante nº 13 no combate ao nepotismo revela desafios complexos no contexto brasileiro. Enraizado na estrutura familiar desde os tempos coloniais, o nepotismo persiste, desafiando os esforços de erradicação. Embora as súmulas vinculantes tenham sido introduzidas para trazer segurança jurídica, a aplicação da SV 13 enfrenta contradições e interpretações diversas. A ausência de uma tipificação penal específica para o nepotismo na administração pública destaca a necessidade de fortalecer os princípios constitucionais. Diante disso, a eficácia da SV 13 é questionável, sugerindo a urgência de uma revisão cuidadosa e um compromisso renovado com a ética e a democracia para avançar significativamente nessa questão.
UAV Based In situ Measurements of CO2 and CH4 Fluxes over Complex Natural Ecosystems
Authors: Bolek Abdullah , Heimann Martin , Goeckede Mathias
Published: May 2024

Abstract. This study presents an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform used to resolve horizontal and vertical patterns of CO2 and CH4 mole fractions within the lower part of the atmospheric boundary layer. The obtained data contribute important information for upscaling fluxes from natural ecosystems over heterogeneous terrain, and for constraining hot spots of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This observational tool, therefore, has the potential to complement existing stationary carbon monitoring networks for GHGs, such as eddy covariance towers and manual flux chambers. The UAV platform is equipped with two gas analyzers for CO2 and CH4 which are connected sequentially. In addition, a 2D anemometer is deployed above the rotor plane to measure environmental parameters including 2D wind speed, air temperature, humidity, and pressure. Laboratory and field tests demonstrate that the platform is capable of providing data with reliable accuracy, with good agreement between the UAV data and tower-based measurements of CO2 and CH4 , and wind speed. Using interpolated maps of GHG mole fractions, with this tool we assessed the signal variability over a target area, and identified potential hot spots. Our study shows that the UAV platform provides information about the spatial variability of the lowest part of the boundary layer, which up to this date remains poorly observed, especially in remote areas such as the Arctic. Furthermore, using the profile method, it is demonstrated that the GHG fluxes from a local source can be calculated. Although subject to large uncertainties over the area of interest, the comparison between the eddy covariance method and UAV-based calculations showed acceptable qualitative agreement.
Examining ENSO related variability in tropical tropospheric ozone in the RAQMS-Aura chemical reanalysis
Authors: Bruckner Maggie , Pierce R. Bradley , Lenzen Allen
Published: May 2024

Abstract. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a major driver of interannual variability in both tropical and mid-latitudes and has been found to have a strong impact on the distribution of tropospheric ozone in the tropical Pacific in satellite observational datasets, chemical transport models, and chemistry-climate simulations. Here we analyze interannual variability in tropical tropospheric ozone by applying composite analysis, empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis and multiple linear regression to the Real-time Air Quality Modeling System (RAQMS) Aura chemical reanalysis. As shown in similar studies, the dominant mode of interannual variability in tropical tropospheric ozone is driven by ENSO. ENSO composites show that the ENSO signature in tropospheric ozone is strongest near the tropopause. We also show an enhancement in tropical ozone over the maritime continent below 700 hPa during El Niño that is dependent on the magnitude of the biomass burning emissions in the region. We reconstruct the ENSO variability in tropical tropospheric ozone through a multiple linear regression of principal components for precipitation and CO. The multiple linear regression quantifies that variability in biomass burning contributes to ENSO variability in tropical tropospheric ozone though the dominant driver is convection.
Present-day mass loss rates are a precursor for West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse

Published: May 2024

Abstract. Observations of recent mass loss rates of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) raise concerns about its stability since a collapse would increase global sea levels by several meters. Future projections of these mass loss trends are often estimated using numerical ice sheet models. However, most current models display low skill in reproducing observed mass change rates accurately. Here, we develop a new initialization method that optimizes agreement not only with observations of ice thickness and surface velocity, but also with satellite-based estimates of mass change rates. Starting from this improved present-day state, we generate an ensemble of future projections of Antarctic mass change, covering uncertainties in model choices, parameter values and (observational) input data. Our ensemble displays a slow retreat over several centuries followed by a speed-up that lasts around 200 years. We find that for all ensemble members, the Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers collapse, even though the climate is held constant at present-day values. Our results imply that today’s mass loss rates are a precursor of the deglaciation of large parts of the WAIS, which would raise sea levels by at least a meter in the coming centuries, without additional climate forcing.

Abstract. The anthropogenically intensified greenhouse effect has caused a radiative imbalance at the top of the atmosphere during the industrial period. This, in turn, has led to an energy surplus in various components of the Earth system, with the ocean storing the largest part. The land contribution ranks second with the latest observational estimates based on borehole temperature profiles, which quantify the terrestrial energy surplus to be 6 % in the last 5 decades, whereas studies based on state-of-the-art climate models scale it down to 2 %. This underestimation stems from land surface models (LSMs) having a subsurface that is too shallow, which severely constrains the land heat uptake simulated by Earth system models (ESMs). A forced simulation of the last 2000 years with the Max Planck Institute ESM (MPI-ESM) using a deep LSM captures 4 times more heat than the standard shallow MPI-ESM simulations in the historical period, well above the estimates provided by other ESMs. However, deepening the LSM does not remarkably affect the simulated surface temperature. It is shown that the heat stored during the historical period by an ESM using a deep LSM component can be accurately estimated by considering the surface temperatures simulated by the ESM using a shallow LSM and propagating them with a standalone forward model. This result is used to derive estimates of land heat uptake using all available observational datasets, reanalysis products, and state-of-the-art ESM experiments. This approach yields values of 10.5–16.0 ZJ for 1971–2018, which are 12 %–42 % smaller than the latest borehole-based estimates (18.2 ZJ).
ДО ПИТАННЯ ЩОДО СПАДКУВАННЯ ПРАВ НА ВИНАХОДИ В КОНТЕКСТІ РЕКОДИФІКАЦІЇ ЦИВІЛЬНОГО ЗАКОНОДАВСТВА УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Кухарєв Олександр Євгенович
Published: May 2024

Статтю присвячено виявленню об’єкта спадкування після смерті особи, яка створила винахід. Наголошується, що універсальне спадкове правонаступництво після смерті винахідника зазнає суттєвого впливу, зумовленого правовим режимом винаходу як об’єкта права інтелектуальної власності. Обґрунтовується, що до спадкоємців винахідника переходять як права на патент, так і права з патенту, що не є тотожними за змістом і порядком здійснення. До прав на патент належить право на одержання патенту в разі, якщо винахідник не встиг за життя звернутися із заявкою на винахід до Національного органу інтелектуальної власності або звернувся з такою заявкою, проте не отримав патент на винахід через свою смерть. До того ж, зважаючи на відсутність патенту та державної реєстрації винаходу на час відкриття спадщини, права на патент не є правами інтелектуальної власності та породжують публічні за своєю природою відносини. Своєю чергою, правами з патенту є майнові права інтелектуальної власності на винахід, невичерпний (відкритий) перелік з яких наведено в законі. Ключовим є право на використання винаходу, на якому ґрунтуються всі інші майнові права інтелектуальної власності на цей об’єкт, які переходять у порядку спадкування в межах строку їх чинності. У статті наголошується, що спадкоємці набувають і певних обов’язків, пов’язаних зі сплатою платежів за підтримання чинності майнових прав на винахід (в окремих випадках державного мита за реєстрацію винаходу), а також добросовісним користуванням правами, що випливають з державної реєстрації винаходу. Удосконалення цивільного законодавства України щодо спадкового наступництва прав на винаходи пропонується здійснювати в напрямі спеціального регулювання відповідних правовідносин у межах книги 4 Цивільного кодексу України, Закону України «Про охорону прав на винаходи і корисні моделі», а також підзаконних актів.
КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНІ ПИТАННЯ ЛЕГІТИМНОСТІ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ВЛАДИ ТА ЗМЕНШЕННЯ РИЗИКІВ КРИЗИ ВЛАДИ ПІД ЧАС ДІЇ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Регушевський Едуард Євгенович
Published: May 2024

У статті проведено аналіз питань легітимності державної влади та зменшення ризиків кризи влади під час дії воєнного стану в Україні. Проаналізовано теоретичні основи питань легальності, легітимності й легітимації державної влади з урахуванням політико-правових процесів та факторів суспільного життя. Приділено увагу негативним чинникам, які впливають на ефективність функціонування державної влади. Виявлено порушення конституційних основ функціонування органів державної влади на засадах її поділу та дотримання системі стримувань і противаг. Наголошується на необхідності повернення до конституційно-правових засад і конституційної моделі функціонування державної влади в країні з метою відновлення легітимності її інституцій. Зазначено, що легітимність державної влади напряму пов’язана з довірою до ухвалених рішень і легальних механізмів їх реалізації. Велике значення в цьому процесі, безперечно, відіграють рішення, які об’єднують інститути громадянського суспільства з інститутами державної влади в єдиному розумінні подальшого розвитку держави та комплексної стратегії реагування на виклики сьогодення. На основі аналізу рівня довіри до державних інституцій в останніх соціологічних дослідженнях визначено необхідні шляхи для підвищення ефективності державного управління. Пропонується підсилення ефективності виконавчої гілки влади шляхом консенсусного, фахового й незаполітизованого підходу у створенні «технократичного уряду», чи так званого уряду єдності, в умовах, коли встановлений Конституцією строк повноважень одного органу державної влади – Верховної Ради України – уже закінчився восени 2023 року, а строк повноважень іншого – Президента України – закінчується в травні 2024 року, може стати важливим інструментом легітимації рішень державної влади загалом. Наголошується, що важлива умова легітимності органів держави – безумовне дотримання Конституції та законів України, ухвалення відповідальних державницьких рішень, які відповідатимуть критеріям законності, ефективності та доцільності у вирішенні нагальних питань функціонування всієї системи органів державної влади, місцевого самоврядування, інститутів громадянського суспільства в Україні.

The future of Medical Education (ME) must be evaluated in light of the increasing variety and availability of educational models and embalming techniques for student and physician education and training. To evaluate the viability and sustainability of the different learning models, research and data on the diverse teaching modalities will be assessed from the perspectives of training residents and physicians. A literature review was conducted to provide an overview of the diversity of soft-preservation techniques presently available. It was shown that ME is optimized using soft-preservation techniques, but that many are limited in their present ability to accurately reflect the live human anatomy, and that more research must be done to identify the optimal preservation technique given unique educational needs. The aggregation of current research study results will aid educational programs in identifying the modalities of training most appropriate for their curriculum, and help in identifying models that can be utilized long-term to improve ME.

This observational study aimed to determine the prevalence of accessory carpal ossicles (ACO) using a computerized tomography examination. The digital imaging database of the authors’ institution was retrospectively reviewed, and all wrist computerized tomography examinations for any indication were identified between 2014 and 2021. Patients with previous wrist surgery and severely impaired carpal anatomy, such as severe osteoarthritis or congenital or acquired deformities that may preclude evaluation and identification of accessory carpal ossicles, were excluded from the study. Four orthopedic surgeons reviewed the computerized tomography scans and identified patients with accessory carpal ossicles on two-dimensional (coronal, axial, and sagittal planes) and three-dimensional computerized tomography reconstructions. Two thousand two hundred thirteen patients, with a mean age of 36.8±12.8 years, were identified and included. Accessory carpal ossicles were detected in 156 (7.1%) subjects, with 186 ACOs identified. The most common accessory carpal ossicles were os praetrapezium (n:34, 1.536%), os triquetrum secundarium (n:28, 1.265%), os epitriquetrum (n:20, 0.903%), os hamuli proprium (n:18, 0.813%), os ulnostyloideum (n:16, 0.723%), os epilunatum (n:12, 0.542%) and os styloideum (n:11, 0.497%) respectively. The study provides valuable information on the prevalence and distribution of accessory carpal ossicles, which can aid in accurately diagnosing and managing wrist pathologies. Further research is warranted to explore the clinical significance and potential impact of rare accessory carpal ossicles on wrist disorders.

Danio rerio is a popular model organism used in various fields of scientific research, including aquaculture. The use of Danio rerio in toxicological studies of drugs promising for use in aquaculture allows reducing the cost of livestock of commercial fish for the needs of experiments. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of an organomineral chelate complex on the reproductive function of females and the survival of Danio rerio eggs. An organomineral chelate complex was studied (JUPITER, Russia). The active basis of a biologically active additive (hereinafter dietary supplements): a complex of ethylenediaminediantaric acid and lysine with trace elements (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Co, Se, I). The fish of the experimental groups were given an additive for 30 days, the data were compared with the control. The drug was given together with the feed once a day, in 3 different concentrations (0.25 g / l, 0.125 g / l, 0.0625 g / l). The weight of females at the beginning and end of the experiment, the total number of eggs (from each female for spawning), the number of eggs per 1 g, the survival rate of eggs, the diameter of eggs and the length of larvae 5 dfp (five days after fertilization) were estimated. To obtain caviar, the parent pairs were planted in spawning jigs and left for 12 hours. The effectiveness of the organomineral chelate complex was observed when using it at a dosage of 0.25 g/l. The use of the complex for 30 days led to an increase in the weight of females and the weight of eggs, as well as the number of eggs per spawning. It is also important to note that the use of the drug did not have a significant effect on the survival of the eggs, the diameter of the eggs and the length of the larva. The enhancement of reproductive function and the increase in the size of Danio rerio females can be explained by the influence of the components of the organomineral chelate complex on the course of biochemical reactions in the body of fish.

The positive effect of chelate compounds of trace elements on the chemical composition of quail meat is justified. The experience used quails of the Japanese breed, egg-meat direction in the amount of 280 heads. Inclusion of chelate compounds of iron and zinc in the diet of quails provides positive correction of physical and chemical indices of meat raw materials. The greatest effect was noted when Bioferron 0,2 ml/kg was introduced into the diet: in 37-day quails, the level of raw protein in meat exceeded the control values by 1,33% (at p≤0,01), the level of raw ash - by 0,41%; in 98-day quails, the level of raw meat protein increased by 1,08%, and relative to the control group - by 1,92% (at p≤0,001), the level of raw meat ash increased by 2,85%, and relative to the control group - by 1,54% (at p≤0,01). In samples of meat raw materials of quail, which received Biocinc, 0,2 ml/kg was noted as the most effective dose: the level of raw protein in meat in 37-day quail exceeded the control by 0,78%, the level of raw ash - by 0,27%; in 98-day quails, the level of raw meat protein increased by 0,85%, and relative to the control group - by 1,14% (at p≤0,01), the level of raw ash increased by 3,45%, and relative to the control group – by 2,00% (at p≤0,01). The highest level of quail in meat raw materials among the elements was in iron, zinc and manganese. The largest amount of digested manganese in the muscles of 37-day quail was noted in a sample of the 5th experimental group (Biocinc 0,2 ml/kg) – 324,69% (p≤0,001) more than the control. In 98-day quails, the highest level of manganese accumulation was also noted in the sample of the 5th experimental group (Biocinc 0,2 mL/kg) – 306,25% (p≤0,001) more than the control one. In 37-day quails, the highest concentration of iron in meat raw materials (60,59±0,66 mg/kg at p≤0,001) was detected when Bioferron was included in the diet at a dose of 0,3 mL/kg, which is 156,63% more than the control. 98-day - 63,32±1,23 mg/kg (p≤0,001), which is 213,93% more than the control. The highest level of zinc was observed in the groups of 37-day quail, the diet of which included Biocinc at doses of 0,2 and 0,3 ml/kg, it was 43,30±0,95 and 44,49±1,41 mg/kg at p≤0,001, which is more than in the control group by 113,41 and 119,27%, respectively.

The microbiocenosis of the intestines of fish is represented by the abdominal and parietal microflora, which has complex functional connections with each other and with the intestinal wall. The purpose of the study was to identify the features of the biodiversity of the intestinal intestinal microflora of rainbow trout grown in fish farms in Karelia. The study of intestinal intestinal microflora of rainbow trout was carried out on the basis of fish farms of the Republic of Kazakhstan, geographically located in the water area of 4 reservoirs, characterized by a complex of hydrological, hydrochemical and hydrobiological characteristics. These are the Kondopoga Bay of Lake Onega, the Rautalakhti Bay of Lake Ladoga, Kroshnozero and Lake Nasonovskoye. For statistical processing of the data obtained based on the results of a comparative analysis of the intestinal intestinal microflora of the studied groups of rainbow trout, the compilation of a variation series, the calculation of the average value of the studied trait and the average standard error were used. The object of the study to study the composition of intestinal intestinal microflora was the rainbow trout Parasalmo mykiss (Walbaum, 1792) of the Rofor breed. Microbiological analysis has shown that the qualitative and quantitative variability of the gut microbiome differs depending on the trout growing environment. 14 functional groups of bacteria were identified: cellulolytics, bacilli, lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, selenomonas, actinobacteria, enterobacteria, fusobacteria, peptococci, staphylococci, campylobacteria, pathogenic clostridia, pasteurella and pseudomonas. The proportion of cellulolytics (Eubacteriaceae, Clostridiaceae, Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae, Bacteroidetes, etc.) varied from 49.1 to 55.3%; bacilli – from 0.9 to 8.7%, lactobacilli – from 5.0 to 13.7%.
