Fertilizer nitrogen use by cereal crops in arid conditions of Buryatia
Authors: Biltuev A. S. , Budazhapov L. V. , Ulanov A. K.
Published: October 2023

The results of research in a long-term (1982–2021) stationary experiment to determine the coefficients of nitrogen use of mineral fertilizers by the crops of grain and fallow crop rotation in the conditions of the dry-steppe zone of Buryatia are presented. Chestnut loamy sand soil on the studied variants was characterized by very low content of humus, total nitrogen and nitrates before sowing of the crops. During the research period, the prevalence of dry years was noted. Nitrogen use coefficients of mineral fertilizers in the conditions of the dry-steppe zone of Buryatia on average for 39 years of research were 69% for wheat, 54% for oats and 90% for oats for grain haylage. The variation of the coefficients was significantly influenced by summer moistening conditions. They were 32% under extreme and severe drought, 57% under moderate and weak drought, and increased significantly (up to 124%) under favorable moisture conditions. The utilization of nitrogen of solid mineral fertilizers was maximum in the third crop (oats for grain haylage) and more responsive to the atmospheric moistening. The smallest consumption coefficients and the range of its changes were observed in oats for grain. The first crop of the rotation (fallow wheat) occupied an intermediate position in this assessment. The data on the influence of soil moisture and hydrothermal conditions of separate critical periods of vegetation on the variation of the coefficient of mineral fertilizer nitrogen utilization (N40) by wheat, oats, and oats for grain haylage were obtained. The correlation analysis showed that the most critical period for nitrogen consumption in wheat is June (r = 0.61), in oats – July (r = 0.51) and July–August for oats for grain haylage (r = 0.50–0.52). Multiple linear models of dependence of N fertilizer use coefficients on productive moisture content and hydrothermal conditions were made.
The Formation of the Hoplite Militia in Athens
Authors: Vostrikov I. V.
Published: October 2023

This article considers how the draft to the Athenian hoplite army was organized in the 5th–4th centuries B.C. The available historical sources do not describe the conscription system for hoplites until the 5th century B.C., so its functioning in the archaic period remains unknown. Interestingly, the conscription of hoplites was generally determined by the structure of the civilian part of Athenian society. It could have appeared with the introduction of the phalanx in Athens under Solon and finally took shape after the reforms of Cleisthenes. Over time, this original conscription system underwent major changes: at first, it was based on the conscription lists compiled by each phyle, i.e., the lists of citizens who were to be drafted for a particular campaign; later, the conscription was held by the eponyms, i.e., only citizens of certain age groups were drafted for service. The results obtained show that the new system must have been introduced between 386 and 366 B.C. The conclusion is made that the old conscription system was changed to improve the military structure of the polis.
Poetry in the Service of Politics: The Casus with the Relic of the True Cross in the Context of Franco-Byzantine Relations during the 560s
Authors: Bikeeva N. Yu.
Published: October 2023

This article describes the events of the 560s, when the queen-nun Radegund acquired the relic of the True Cross for her convent in Poitiers. Her request for the major Christian shrine to the Byzantine Emperor Justin II and his wife Sophia was untimely: the foreign policy situation at that moment was very difficult – the Kingdom of the Franks was divided among the sons of King Chlothar I. Sigebert, the ruler of Austrasia, sought to strengthen his power and influence among the Franks and in the international scene. The conquests of the Lombards forced the Byzantines and the Franks to seek peace with each other. The obtained results show that both states took advantage of the situation with the relic to conclude a peace treaty without openly declaring their intentions. The roles of each participant in the organization of the embassy to the court of Justin II in 568 are considered. The ulterior motives of the poetic messages sent by Radegund to her relatives in Constantinople are analyzed. These events are a good example of how Sigebert, one of the Frankish kings, solved the foreign and domestic political tasks of that time. The casus with the relic of the True Cross reveals the “inside” of the political and diplomatic mechanics in Byzantium and the Frankish kingdoms.
Clothing Hygiene of the Nomads of the Great Steppe in the 13th–16th Centuries
Authors: Abzalov L. F.
Published: October 2023

This article considers the clothing hygiene of the nomads who lived in the Eurasian steppes during the 13th to 16th centuries. The analysis is based on the written sources from various epochs describing the life of the nomads in the Great Steppe, as well as on the data from archaeological surveys, ethnographic materials, and certain areas of medicine. The objective and subjective factors that determined the hygienic practices of the nomads in caring for their clothes are identified. The nomadic costume was designed to meet the needs of the nomadic life: it was practical and comfortable. Most garments were made of natural materials of animal origin and were therefore difficult to wash. For this and some other reasons, the nomads wore their clothes until they were completely worn out and cleaned them using drying, airing, shaking out, and freezing. The clothing hygiene of the noble nomads differed from that of the ordinary ones, mainly in how often they changed garments. Spiritual and ideological factors (prohibitions, superstitions, and omens) also played a certain role, but this needs to be explored in more detail. Since little is known about personal hygiene habits of the nomads, some of the conclusions made here may be controversial, which in turn will fuel further research on the traditional culture of life support among the nomads of the Eurasian steppes.

Background: Intestinal Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain. The main objective of the present case report is to share our experience with Diffuse Large B Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma with spontaneous bowel perforation in a setting of HIV. Method: Description of a Case Report Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma with a spontaneous bowel perforation:  A 39-year-old female patient presented with a one-day history of acute abdomen. She is known retroviral disease reactive with CD4 count 534, Viral Load 131 on Antiretroviral Treatment-Fixed Dose Regimen duration of more than 5 years and was being treated for Peptic Ulcer Disease. Chest X-ray: showed pneumoperitoneum consistent with a perforation. A Laparotomy was performed and found a perforated Jejunum leaking small bowel contents. Resection and primary anastomosis were performed, and washout was done. Post-Operative condition was uneventful, and she was discharged four days after the operation. The resected portion was sent for histology, which showed perforation of the Jejunum secondary to a Diffuse Large B Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Conclusion: The diagnosis of Intestinal Lymphoma poses a diagnostic challenge for both developed and developing countries; however, coupling the risk factors with signs and symptoms can assist one in making a diagnosis. It is therefore important to always have a high index of suspicion, particularly for HIV patients with lymphadenopathy. Doi: 10.28991/SciMedJ-2023-05-01-05 Full Text: PDF

IMPACT OF STRAIN AND SURFACE RECONSTRUCTION ON LONG-RANGE DIFFUSION OF Ge ATOMS ON Ge(111) SURFACE
Authors: Zhachuk Ruslan , Latyshev Aleksandr , Coutinho José
Published: October 2023

We investigate the effect of surface reconstruction and strain on diffusion of adsorbed Ge atoms on Ge(111)-5×5 and Ge(111)-7×7 surfaces by means of first-principles calculations. The results show that Ge diffusion rates on 5×5 and 7×7 reconstructed Ge(111) surfaces should be similar. Comparable diffusion rates on 5×5 and 7×7 reconstructed surfaces are explained by the identical local atomic arrangements of these structures. Conversely, the diffusion barrier on a compressively strained Ge(111) surface is considerably higher than that on a strain-free surface. The increase of the migration barrier on a strained surface is explained by dimer bond strengthening upon surface compression, along with a weakening of bonds between the adsorbed Ge and dimer atoms.

Among many transition elements, manganese plays a vital role in plant metabolism. The geology of the region, the weathering of the minerals, oxidation and reduction of Mn++ are the important factors for the various forms of manganese in the earth's crust. Different forms of manganese have been studied by various workers in India and abroad. Few items of work have been done in Madras State to study the distribution of several patterns of manganese and their relation to soil properties in profile soils. Soundararajan et al. (1967) found out the amounts of different forms of manganese in the surface soils in Coimbatore district. Most of the soils utilised in their study are reported to have adequate amounts of available manganese. The present study aims at the investigation of different forms of manganese and their relationships with soil characteristics in profile samples in Tamilnadu.
Preliminary Investigations on the Dormancy of Cotton Seeds.
Authors:   Cotton Assitant,Agricultural College and Reserch Institute,Coimbatore  641 003, M BAGAVANDOSS
Published: October 2023

Dormancy is a phenomenon common to most seeds and is due to both physical and biological factors. Hard coat of seeds prevents intake of water or the embryos may be immature for proper germination. In cotton seeds, delayed germination has been observed by Simpson (1935) in fresh fuzzy seeds of G. hirsutum, as opposed to the naked seeds of G. barbadense types. Balasubramaniam and Ramaswamy (1933) working on interspecific and inter-racial hybrid seeds of Asiatic cottons, found delayed germination due to hard seed coat, closed micropyle etc. This was overcome by treating the seeds with sulphuric acid. The inhibition studies on cotton seeds by Dubash and Joshi (1959) had shown that actual inhibition for cotton in general is 8 to 12 hours and the time-lag for germination and inhibition ranges from 18.5 to 62 hours.
A Study on the Utility of the Different Methods of Assessing Gypsum Requirement for Reclaiming Alkali Soils of the Madras State
Authors:   Assitant in Chemistry, Agricultural College and Research Institute,Coimbatore 641003, N GURUSAMY
Published: October 2023

Reclamation of saline and alkali lands has of late assumed greater importance as considerable emphasis has come to be laid on augmenting food production by all possible means. In the Madras State, tangible work has been carried out on the reclamation of saline and alkali lands and the studies point to the necessity of applying gypsum and green manure or F.Y.M. to the alkali lands for reclaiming them at different dosages depending upon the soil type. No attempt has been made in the Madras State so far for accurately predicting the quantity of gypsum required for reclaiming a particular alkali soil; eventhough methods evolved by Schoonover (1952), Puri (1963) and Shawarbi and Abdel-Bar (1954) are in vogue for arriving at the gypsum requirement for reclaiming alkali soils. However uniform results are not obtained with these three methods, and hence their suitability or otherwise for different types of soil is to be assessed before advocating any one of the above three methods. In this paper, the utility of the above three methods for assessing the gypsum required for economically reclaiming the alkali soils of the Madras State is evaluated.

Published: October 2023

Research aim: The study aims to assess the value of the impact of PT PLN UIK TJB's CSR program on the implementation of social innovation in Tubanan agroforestry. In this approach, the effect of the program has an essential meaning for the beneficiaries of the program, namely the farming community group in Tubanan Village.

Design/Methode/Approach: This study used social return on investment (SROI) as a research methodology. This research was conducted on the beneficiaries of the Tubanan agroforestry program and considered all stakeholders directly or indirectly involved in the program. The research informants numbered 20 people who were members of the LMDH Tunas Agung in Tubanan Village.

Research Finding: The results showed that the CSR programs generated social benefits on investment and provided economic, social, and environmental benefits. SROI as a solution that changes the mindset of investment analysis based on outcomes is not just output.

Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study allows us to expand the evidence of the critical role of social innovation for farming community groups, but so far, little has been studied about the application of SROI as an assessment methodology.

Practitionel/Policy implication: The results of the SROI analysis become the basis for improving the planning of subsequent CSR programs.

Research limitation: The selection of financial results and the proxies used are potentially biased, even though the proxies have been quantified over a potential range, the impact value has been reduced by filters (deadweigh, attribution, displacement, drop-off), and only emphasizes the impact on hard results rather than soft ones, which are considered less valuable.

Background: neurodegenerative processes are prognostically dramatic conditions. They are actively studied by both neurologists and psychiatrists. Nosological forms are diverse and include regressive autism, dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, progressive epilepsy of infancy and childhood, generalized hyperkinesis, Tourette’s syndrome and many other conditions that are common to progressive neurological deficit, loss of cognitive functions, the appearance of nonspecific symptoms of brain irritation (epileptic seizures, hyperkinesis, dystonic states, stereotypes, psychotic episodes and other symptoms). Despite many ongoing studies the treatment of the described conditions is limited to temporary, incomplete and pharmacologically dependent relief of symptoms, since the problem of the etiopathogenesis of these conditions remains open. The aim of review is to present current immunological concepts of pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Material and method: using keywords “neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, epilepsy, parasitosis, microbiota” selected relevant scientific publications in domestic and international databases. Conclusion: recent advances in neuroimmunology show a significant role of neuroinflammation in the triggering and development of neurodegenerative processes, some of which are autoimmune in nature, which is confirmed by the indicators of immunity intensity introduced into clinical practice and by the detected antibody titers to brain tissues. In recent decades in a series of scientific works attention has been paid to the study of infectious agents detected in the immunological screening of patients with neurodegeneration, however, these data are fragmented and contradictory, and therefore are ignored by the medical community. This review presents a modern view of the etiopathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases from the point of view of the summative antigenic burden, assessment of the immunological potential, homeostatic resource, and compensatory capabilities of the human body, which as a result can become a starting point for proposing new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of these intractable diseases.

Una rilettura della “scienza” dell’agopuntura moderna
Authors: Zhao Jing
Published: October 2023

L’agopuntura e la chirurgia sono stati i due principali trattamenti esterni della medicina tradizionale cinese. Nelle prime fasi del loro sviluppo, entrambi erano basati sull’“esame dell’anatomia muscolare” del corpo e mettevano in evidenza l’importanza della carne e delle ossa. Dalla dinastia Song, tuttavia, si iniziò a studiare la medicina senza richiedere un’esperienza pratica. Il trattamento esterno cominciò ad essere emarginato. Tale situazione continuò fino alla fine della dinastia Ming quando fu introdotta la medicina occidentale. Non dialogando con le conoscenze chirurgiche occidentali, la chirurgia e l’agopuntura tradizionali divennero insignificanti. Contemporaneamente, la teoria dei meridiani iniziò a catturare l’attenzione degli studiosi e avviò l’interazione tra l’apprendimento cinese e quello occidentale basato sulla medicina cinese. Successivamente, la reinterpretazione e la comprensione della teoria tradizionale del meridiano si sono trasformate nel preludio all’evoluzione accademica moderna e allo sviluppo scientifico dell’agopuntura. Il divario fra l’agopuntura e la chirurgia tradizionale si ampliò. Senza i concetti moderni di “anatomia e fisiologia” e di “disinfezione”, la chirurgia tradizionale continuava ad essere in difficoltà, mentre, al contrario, l’agopuntura iniziò a colmare il divario con la medicina occidentale.

MENEMUKAN KEMBALI TUJUAN PEMASARAN MELALUI STRATEGIC THINKING DI ERA TEKNOPOLI
Authors: Nirwana Aditya , Melany
Published: October 2023

The provision of digital marketing training to SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) perceived as technologically lagging often simplifies the complexity of marketing. The focus on technology operation sometimes neglects crucial aspects of more substantial marketing. Through literature review, this paper attempts to explore the situation related to the reduction of marketing complexity by technology in the context of the phenomenon and strives to synthesize an idea within the framework of strategic marketing as a way out of the current issues. SMEs, as businesses, face various complex issues that require in-depth understanding, such as financial management, production, human resources, strategic planning, quality assurance, and marketing. However, the solutions offered are often reductive, treating technology as an instant solution. This occurs due to a lack of planning and evaluation in digital marketing. The academic community's community engagement teams sometimes overlook the needs of SMEs and impose technocratic training, merely to fulfill academic obligations. This phenomenon is referred to as a technopoly culture, where technology is perceived as an authority without considering real issues. A reorientation of goals is needed through strategic thinking in digital marketing training to avoid reductionism. This paper proposes the concept of Strategic Thinking to help identify needs, adapt approaches, measure success, and involve relevant stakeholders to create a significant impact on SMEs' development in the digital era.
In Search of Inner Self:Yunus Emre’s Mysticism and Emerson’s Transcendentalism
Authors: KAÇMAZ Ercan
Published: October 2023

How could a person seek freedom of inner self and find the truth? Acording to Ralph Waldo Emerson, this is possible through Self-Reliance. From Emerson’s transcendental perspective, the most important thing for a person is to know himself. On the other hand, approximately six hundred years before Emerson, the Turkish poet Yunus Emre gave a very similar message with the phrase Know Yourself. Emre’s perspective on inner self, truth, and love is closely related to Emerson’s ethical ideas, indicating that both writers lead us towards Neoplatonic theories of knowledge. Emre and Emerson came from contrasting cultural backgrounds and had distinct living and working conditions and learning envi- ronments. Emre hails from the Turkish culture and is a disciple (murid) of a Sufi spiritual teacher (murshid), in contrast Emerson comes from a Unitarian background, but he does not follow a lineage and relies on his individual actions. Despite this, they both have an inclu- sive attitude that encompasses all of humanity. Although there seems to be no references to the Turkish poet Emre in Emerson’s texts, there are a lot of commonalities in their writings in terms of self and inner-self. These philosophers - who lived in different continents, thou- sands of miles away from each other and at different times - listened to the universe with the same ear, with the same heart. Thus, they appear as two poets who aim to help people know themselves and add meaning to their lives, not only in their own society but also in other societies. Therefore, this study focuses on the unseen connection between these literary figures and through comparative analysis; it seeks to shed light on the shared mystical and transcendental themes that connect Emre and Emerson across time and cultural boundaries.

Published: October 2023

Objective Sex differences have been observed in many aspects of schizophrenia, including cognitive deficits. Despite extensive research into the relationship between metabolic factors and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia, few studies have explored the potential sex difference in their association.Methods We recruited 358 schizophrenia patients and 231 healthy controls. The participants underwent measurements of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting blood glucose. Metabolic risk factors included abdominal obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia. A collection of these metabolic risk factors has been defined as metabolic syndrome. These diagnoses were based on the criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program’s Adult Treatment Panel III. Cognitive performance was measured using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). A descriptive analysis, difference analysis, and linear regression model were used to identify the metabolic risk factors for cognitive function in schizophrenia.Results Our findings revealed sex differences in the rate of abdominal obesity and hypertension in schizophrenic patients. Additionally, we observed sex differences in the association between metabolic risk factors and cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. Specifically, hyperglycemia was associated with the immediate memory index score of RBANS in male patients, while dyslipidemia was associated with language, attention, delayed memory index scores, and RBANS total score in female patients.Conclusion Our results suggest that sex should be considered when evaluating the impact of metabolic disorders on the cognitive function of schizophrenic patients. Moreover, our study identifies hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia as potential targets for precise treatment by sex stratification, which could benefit the improvement of cognitive impairment in schizophrenic patients.
Estimation of requirements for signal parameters at V-shaped frequency distribution in the mathematical model of a planar phased array antenna
Authors: Kovalenko A.I. , Titov S.V. , Titova E.V. , Chorna O.S.
Published: October 2023

A brief review provides methods of focusing electromagnetic radiation of a flat phased array antenna based on mutually consistent spatial-amplitude-phase-frequency control of the radiated signals and limitations of their potential capabilities arising from various random fluctuations of signal and antenna parameters. The performed statistical study revealed the influence of various random and deterministic changes in the electrical and structural parameters of antennas, control systems for radiated signals with a V-shaped frequency distribution over the aperture of a flat phased array on the peak power level, duration, and repetition period of focused pulses. The parameters of the law of spatial-amplitude-phase-frequency control should be stable for a time equal to the average pulse duration at the output of the emitters when forming a single spatiotemporal pulse, and when forming a sequence of spatiotemporal pulses within duration of this packet of spatiotemporal pulses. The requirements for the accuracy and stability of parameters of the space-phase-frequency signal control law are considered. The analyses of influence of various deviations from the set values of the parameters of the law of spatial-phase-frequency control of emitted signals in the channels of a multi-position system of emitters in the formation of sequences of spatiotemporal pulses is analyzed. It is shown that the influence of errors in the location of the phase centers of the emitters in the direction of radiation does not depend on the distance to the focusing point, but is significant and requires special measures to reduce them. The influence of initial phase setting errors on the characteristics of the generated sequence of spatiotemporal pulses also does not depend on the radiation time. The range of permissible values of the maximum initial phase setting errors behind the aperture of a flat phased antenna array, in which the decrease in the power flux density value does not exceed 10%, should not exceed p/3. The discreteness and random errors in establishing the initial phases of individual radiation sources of a flat phased array equal to p/3 practically do not affect the duration and repetition period of the sequence of spatiotemporal pulses.
Теоретические и методологические аспекты регионализации многополярного мира
Authors: Гребнев Руслан
Published: October 2023

The article considers some theoretical and methodological aspects of the multipolar world regionalization which is determined by the right of states to create ‘great spaces’ and the compatibility of national political systems due to the common or adjacent geopolitical identity. The distributed type of culture, primarily conservative, as well as of liberal identity opens up prospects for the formation of new types of geopolitical subjectivity, which correlate with new regional systems, blocs and alliances of states in a multipolar world. Diversification of the processes of political globalization aimed, on the one hand, at the sovereignization of states claiming key positions in a multipolar world, and, on the other hand, at strengthening the complex influence and control in the territories representing the zone of their geopolitical interest, creates prospects for the institutionalization of the Russian world, global China, the Islamic world, the Indo-Pacific, African, Latin American autarchies, as well as the reorganization of the Anglo-Saxon world and the European Union in accordance with the principles of multipolarity.
Productivity and growing-season stability in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under contrasting ecogeographic conditions
Authors: Novikova L. Yu. , Berzegova A. A. , Gurkina M. V. , Buravtseva T. V.
Published: October 2023

Background. Studying the effect size of the environment versus breeding-oriented plant traits is relevant under climate change. Identification of stable accessions while evaluating the source material in contrasting environments can increase the efficiency of breeding practice.

Materials and methods. Thirty common bean accessions from the VIR collection were sown for 3 years in the contrasting environments of Maikop and Astrakhan. Eight useful agronomic traits were studied according to VIR’s guidelines. Statistical processing was carried out using ANOVA, correlation and regression analyses. Environmental stability of productivity was assessed according S. A. Eberhart and W. A. Russell (1966).

Results and discussion. The study of the variability of traits showed the stability of the sowing-to-ripening period duration (average coefficient of variation: 10.9%) and 1000 seed weight (17.3%). The effect of the genotype was the determining factor only for 1000 seed weight (67.6% of the variance). The growing season duration, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, and productivity depended more on the environments. Productivity formation patterns were basically the same at both sites: productivity of an accession depended on the number of pods, and 1000 seed weight was negatively related to the number of seeds per pod. The growing season in Maikop depended on the flowering-to-ripening period (r = 0.73); in Astrakhan, on the sprouting-to-flowering period (r = 0.85). The duration of the sowing-to-sprouting and sprouting-to-flowering periods significantly correlated with mean temperatures (r = –0.87 and 0.87, respectively), while the flowering-to-ripening period did not depend on the mean temperature.

Conclusion. Accessions relatively stable in their productivity and duration of the growing season were identified. They demonstrated both determinant and indeterminate growth, attesting to the prospects of breeding work with different common bean groups.

Background. Cultivation of scab-resistant apple cultivars with better fruit storability increases the economic efficiency and environmental friendliness of horticulture. Hence, the development of such cultivars is an important task in modern apple-tree breeding.

Materials and methods. A set of 646 hybrid plants obtained in six cross combinations (Renet Simirenko/Modi, Renet Simirenko/Smeralda, Renet Simirenko/Renoir, Renet Simirenko/Fujion, Renoir/Granny Smith, and Modi/Granny Smith) was studied. Their scab resistance was assessed under natural infection pressure for two years using a quantitative scale. The Rvi6 gene was identified using the PCR analysis with the primer pair VfC1+VfC. The Md-ACS1 gene alleles were detected with a known SCAR DNA marker. The chi-square test was applied for statistical confirmation of the data.

Results. Based on the DNA marker analysis, 328 plants carrying the dominant allele of the Rvi6 gene were identified. The results of the phenotypic resistance assessment confirmed the correspondence of the resistant phenotype / dominant allele of the gene for most plants. Molecular genetics analysis of the Md-ACS1 gene disclosed its allelic combinations. A total of 190, 322, and 126 plants carrying allelic variants of Md-ACS1-2/2, Md-ACS1-1/2, and Md-ACS1-1/1, respectively, were identified. Among the plants with the dominant allele of the scab resistance Rvi6 gene, 92 plant forms were identified with Md-ACS1-2/2, and 143 heterozygous ones (Md-ACS1-1/2), also valuable for breeders.

Conclusion. A wide range of apple breeding forms carrying valuable alleles of the Rvi6 and Md-ACS1 genes were selected. Hybrid forms with target alleles of both genes responsible for important agronomic traits would contribute to the intensification of breeding efforts aimed at producing scab-resistant apple cultivars with increased fruit storability. They can also be used for breeding purposes as complex donors.

Published: October 2023

A comparative analysis of the species composition of the segetal flora of the surveyed steppe zone and the segetal flora of the entire Krasnodar Territory based on the materials of numerous scientific publications is presented. The main part of the floristic spectra of both segetal florae coincides in the composition of the 10 leading families, which attests to their unity. The leading families in the compared lists are Asteraceae Dumort., Poaceae Barnhart, Fabaceae Lindl., and Brassicaceae Burnett. Floristic homogeneity of the weed species compositions between the segetal floras in the areas under different types of field crops is considered. Besides, species with a high degree of permanency in the agrocenoses of each field crop have been identified. These species are objects of phytosanitary risk for a number of field crops or some of them in the steppe zone of Krasnodar Territory. The most common weeds in the fields of all surveyed crops are field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.), common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.), bristly thistle (Cirsium setosum (Willd.) Bess.), and cockspur grass (Echinochloa crusgalli (L.) Beauv.). Information about the predicted widespread species in the fields under a certain crop will make it possible to plan the volume of production or purchase of protective means focusing on groups of dominant species, and anticipate possible changes in the reformatting of the acreage structure, violations of the reclamation system and crop rotation schemes, etc.

In this wide-ranging article I engage in a detailed meditation on the book Representations of the Intellectual (1994) by the late, great Palestinian-American academic and cultural critic Edward W. Said (1935-2003). In the course of discussing and evaluating Representations of the Intellectual roughly thirty years after its initial publication, I historically contextualize the book in relation to key cultural and sociopolitical issues of its relative era while simultaneously positioning it in intertextual dialogue with a variety of texts that help shed light on its core strengths, key limitations, and ultimate enduring significance as work that compels readers to think and question.

This work describes a validated procedure for collecting reference data to estimate personal values from song lyrics. The undertaken work describes our method for sampling songs for lyric annotation, the specific wording and response format of the annotation tool, and estimation of necessary number of annotations per song. We describe two waves of data collection with over 500 respondents each, the first as a method to estimate the necessary number of ratings using 20 songs, and the second to examine the structure of annotations on 360 songs. We show promising similarity in the structure of annotations when compared with the theoretical structure of personal values.

Assalâmu‘alaikum wa rahmatullâhi wa barakâtuh.Pembaca yang budiman, tentu kita amat prihatin menyaksikan fenomena kerusakan generasi muda Muslim saat ini. Krisis moral/adab/ akhlak telah lama melanda mereka. Ada seorang remaja putri yang mengadukan ibunya ke Polisi lantaran ibunya melarang dia pacaran. Ada remaja pengangguran yang tega meracuni hingga tewas anggota keluarganya. Pasalnya, ia kesal sering disuruh cari kerja oleh keluarganya. Ada seorang remaja yang lain tega menginjak-injak kepala ibunya hanya karena tidak dikasih uang 10 ribu rupiah. Itu hanyalah secuil contoh.Tentu masih banyak contoh lainnya. Bahkan berbagai tindak kriminal telah banyak dilakukan oleh para remaja kita. Tak lagi sembunyi-sembunyi. Tak ada lagi rasa malu. Semua sudah mereka lakukan secara terang-terangan. Contohnya adalah seks bebas dan LGBTQ+. Berbagai survei telah lama melaporkan bahwa seks bebas telah dilakukan oleh sebagian remaja kita yang baru berusia SMP dan SMA. Perilaku LGBTQ+ juga sudah dipraktikkan oleh sebagian mereka. Belum lagi kebiasan mengkonsumsi narkoba, pornografi, dll.Semua ini tentu sebagai akibat langsung dari penerapan ideologi sekuler-kapitalis-demokrasi yang telah lama diberlakukan di negeri-negeri Muslim, termasuk di negeri ini. Di negeri sekuler ini, agama (Islam) bukan hanya dijauhkan dari kehidupan, tetapi bahkan dimusuhi. Misalnya, bagaimana kegiatan Rohis di sekolah belakangan ini dituding sebagai cikal-bakal bagi tumbuhnya radikalisme. Padahal selama bertahun-tahun kegiatan Rohis di sekolah justru membantu sekolah dalam pembinaan akhlak anak-anak remaja.Semua ini tentu menjadi tantangan bagi kita. Baik bagi keluarga, masyarakat dan terutama negara. Karena itu solusinya pun tidak sekadar melibatkan keluarga saja, tetapi harus melibatkan masyarakat dan terutama negara. Bagaimana caranya? Bagaimana pula peran Islam—sebagai sebuah ideologi/sistem kehidupan—dalam menyelamatkan generasi muda, sekaligus menyiapkan masa depan Islam dan kaum Muslim yang gilang-gemilang, sebagaimana pernah terjadi pada masa lalu?Di seputar itulah tema utama al-waie kali ini. Selain tema menarik lain lainnya. Selamat membaca!
