A Temporal Investigation of the Relationship Between Difficulty Concentrating and Perseverative Thought
Authors: DeGennaro Paige , Blendermann Mary , Alberts Brittany , Silk Jennifer Susan , Gianaros Peter J. , Hallion Lauren S.
Published: May 2024

Perseverative thought (also known as repetitive thought) is an established transdiagnostic mechanism of internalizing psychopathology characterized primarily by its repetitive, difficult to control quality. Subjective difficulty concentrating frequently coincides with perseverative thought and may function as both mechanism and clinical consequence of perseverative thought. Although cognitive theories suggest a bidirectional relationship between perseverative thought and difficulty concentrating, experimental and longitudinal investigations provide mixed evidence. The current study addresses this gap by examining the temporal dynamics between momentary perseverative thought and difficulty concentrating using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) (8 surveys per day for 14 days) with 155 adult community participants (compliance ≥ 70%) oversampled for moderate/severe perseverative thought. Multilevel modeling tested concurrent and time-lagged associations. Difficulty concentrating and perseverative thought were concurrently and prospectively related within-person: higher difficulty concentrating at T-1 predicted higher perseverative thought at T, and higher perseverative thought at T-1 predicted higher difficulty concentrating at T. Findings held when controlling for the outcome at T-1. These findings demonstrate covariation between difficulty concentrating and perseverative thought within-person in daily life consistent with theoretical models that predict bidirectional relationships. Directions for future research include probing causality via momentary experimental approaches and exploring potential for clinical translation via just-in-time adaptive interventions.
No evidence that people born to older parents show weaker preferences for younger adult faces

Published: May 2024

People can judge others’ ages from face images somewhat accurately and tend to rate younger adults’ faces as more attractive than older adults’ faces. However, individual differences in the strength of this preference for younger adult faces have also been reported, whereby people born to older parents (i.e., people whose parents were older when the participant born) showed weaker preferences for younger adult faces. However, work showing this pattern of results used face stimuli in which cues of age were experimentally manipulated using computer-graphics methods and many researchers have recently raised concerns about how well findings obtained using such stimuli generalise to ratings of natural (i.e., unmanipulated) face images. Consequently, we tested whether people born to older parents showed weaker preferences for younger faces when rating the attractiveness of natural (i.e., unmanipulated) face images. Although our analyses demonstrated that participants generally showed strong preferences for younger adult faces, the strength of these preferences was not significantly correlated with parental age at birth. Thus, our results do not support the proposal that parental age at birth influences preferences for facial cues of age.

Meta-learned models as tools to test theories of cognitive development
Authors: Nussenbaum Kate , Hartley Catherine A.
Published: May 2024

Binz et al. argue that meta-learned models are essential tools for understanding adult cognition. Here, we propose that these models are particularly useful for testing hypotheses about why learning processes change across development. By leveraging their ability to discover optimal algorithms and account for capacity limitations, researchers can use these models to test competing theories of developmental change in learning.

Impact of Climate Change on the Farming Community of Bhaktapur District of Nepal
Authors: Dhungel Harka Bahadur
Published: May 2024

This study was carried out to evaluate the impact of climate change on the farming community in Bhaktapur, Nepal. The study considered rainfall, temperature, flood/drought, harvest and sowing time, and pest and disease incidence over 20 years as primary factors to be considered. A household survey of 120 houses was conducted following the set of questionnaires prepared. As a result, significant changes were observed in climatic aspects as well as biological aspects. The obtained result demonstrated that the precipitation observed drastic change as there was an incidence of erratic and heavy rainfall on summer days while the intensity and frequency of rainfall decreased during winter. These abnormalities certainly do not favor agriculture and farming. Similarly, the temperature of the study area has increased annually over the last two decades. The data suggests that the average annual temperature is increasing at the rate of 0.038°C per year. Moreover, the survey showed that the time of harvest and time of sowing seeds have been delayed respectively to the time a few decades back while the climatic aberrations have increased the incidence of pests and diseases. In a nutshell, the changes in climatic conditions have a drastic change in the farming system and thus the agricultural produce and productivity. The study highlights the significant impact of climate change on traditional farming practices in Bhaktapur, Nepal. It underscores how changes in rainfall patterns, temperature, and the incidence of extreme weather events like floods and droughts have disrupted agricultural activities such as planting and harvesting cycles. The research not only identifies challenges but also emphasizes the need for adaptation strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change on farming communities. By linking research findings to policy recommendations and practical interventions, the study offers actionable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and local stakeholders striving to build resilience in agricultural systems.
The Concept of National Security in Kautilya's Arthashastra
Authors: Ghimire Sanjay , Lamichhane Madhav Raj
Published: May 2024

Kautilya's Arthashastra stands as a timeless testament to the enduring principles of political realism. Within its ancient pages, Kautilya delves into the intricate dynamics of power, conflict, and national interests with remarkable foresight. Central to his discourse is the notion of national security, a concept that remains as pertinent today as it was in antiquity. Kautilya's strategic genius is evident in his meticulous construction of military doctrines, aimed at ensuring the safety and sovereignty of the state. Through a blend of cunning diplomacy, espionage, and military prowess, he advocates for a proactive approach to safeguarding the realm against external threats and internal dissent. In the Arthashastra, Kautilya elucidates the multifaceted nature of national security, encompassing not only military strength but also economic prosperity, social stability, and ideological resilience. His realist perspective emphasizes the primacy of power dynamics in international relations, advocating for the acquisition and preservation of power as the cornerstone of national security. Kautilya's insights continue to resonate in contemporary discourse, where states grapple with complex geopolitical challenges and navigate the delicate balance between self-interest and collective security. As policymakers confront evolving threats in an increasingly interconnected world, the timeless wisdom of Kautilya serves as a beacon, offering invaluable lessons on the enduring pursuit of national security in an ever-changing global landscape.

Published: May 2024

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between patient demographic factors (gender, age, marital status) and their perception of a patient-friendly hospital environment. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire to collect data from 41 patients at a hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal. The questionnaire assessed perceptions of privacy, visitation, amenities, way finding, and other aspects that contribute to a patient-friendly environment. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between demographic variables and overall satisfaction. Most respondents were younger, female patients. Descriptive analysis found neutral to average satisfaction across different environment domains. Correlation analysis showed no significant relationships between gender, age, marital status and perception of a patient-friendly environment (p>0.05 for all). Patient demographics did not appear to influence perceptions of a patient-friendly environment in this study. While most domains scored neutrally, opportunities remain to enhance certain areas like bathroom accessibility and parking. Larger studies are needed to further understand how hospitals can optimize their physical environments to better support patients.

Manpower Recruitment Agencies in Nepal
Authors: Dahal Kapil Babu
Published: May 2024

The daily exodus of an increasing number of Nepali to many foreign nations has a significant economic influence on the country. It is not a new phenomenon in Nepal for people to migrate outside to seek work. Still, it is a relatively new practice in Nepal to facilitate overseas migration through employment agencies. Nepal's liberal democratic atmosphere, openness, and the nationwide spread of the Maoist insurgency contributed to a dramatic rise in transnational movements in the country midway through the 2000s. Over this period, there was a notable increase in the number of Nepalis using brokering agencies and their agents to help them migrate out of Nepal, mostly to non-traditional locations in India. Moving further from mere focusing on impact of international migration on migrants and their family members, this article discusses the distinguishing features and nature of recruitment agencies that facilitate the worldwide migration of foreign workers from Nepal. This article is based on research that looked at companies that help workers migrate outside of Nepal through migrant recruiting. Since these groups are a part of global networks that assist individuals travelling across borders, their actions have made it simpler to turn Nepalis into commodities on the global market stage. To gain an understanding of the nuances of the topic and to derive meaning from the raw data, the study relied mainly on primary and ethnographic data that were subsequently processed thematically.

Authors: Paudel Rajesh , Nepali P. B. , Panta H. K. , Acharya G. D.
Published: May 2024

This study explored Nepal's dynamic food practices, examining the interplay between traditional rural and evolving urban contexts. The country's food system harmoniously integrates age-old agricultural wisdom with the changing demands of urbanization. In rural landscapes, communities craft a resilient tapestry using diverse crops, agroecological practices, and a profound respect for nature, ensuring steadfast food security even in challenging environments. Conversely, urbanization introduces convenience through supermarkets and processed foods, albeit with associated costs such as escalating health issues, food waste, and social inequalities. To bridge these disparities, a focus on inclusivity and resilience is imperative. Strategies include empowering rural women, investing in infrastructure, and safeguarding traditional knowledge for sustainable food security. Urban food policies should emphasize local markets, encourage healthy choices, and minimize waste. In essence, navigating Nepal's food system transformation necessitates a delicate balance between tradition and adaptation, aspiring towards a future where comprehensive food security and well-being flourish for all.

Published: May 2024

Isolation of high quality and quantity genomic DNA is essential for molecular studies. It is crucial to select a non-invasive and straightforward technique to ensure the efficient collection of DNA, particularly at the farm level. The aim of this study was to determine if nasal swabs are an appropriate biological matrix to obtain good quality genomic DNA suitable for SNP genotyping. In this study, two biological matrices (blood and nasal swabs) were evaluated and compared for the isolation of genomic DNA obtained from 15 female Texel sheep. DNA quality and quantity were assessed using spectrophotometry and gel electrophoreses. Genotype concordance rates were used for comparison. Results showed that the highest concentration mean was obtained from blood samples (159.14 ng/µl), while from nasal swab samples the concentration mean was lower (130.12 ng/µl), but the difference was non-significant. Regarding purity, DNA obtained from nasal swabs presented a higher A260/A280 ratio (1.96), while the one obtained from blood samples was 1.90. Total DNA yield obtained from blood samples (15.91 µg) was significantly higher than the one obtained from nasal swabs (6.51). Blood and nasal swab genotyping concordance rates were high (mean = 0.984). In conclusion, our results indicate that nasal swabs can yield good quality DNA; however, the DNA extraction protocol should be optimized.

Authors: Tham Jen Sern , Ong Wei Wenn, Brendan , Lim Lean Yee
Published: May 2024

The media and communication technologies have changed media consumption for good, and traditional media publishers are struggling to integrate their businesses using communication technologies. However, when fake news is increasingly prevalent on social media, where everyone can be the prosumer-produce and consume news, the people seek to verify the facts through different media, and traditional media have therefore made a comeback. This research paper attempts to answer “What are the issues reported by the media”. This study provides findings made during the 14th General Election campaigning period on the political issues reported by traditional media, in this case, radio. This study used a purposive sampling method, with the sample drawn from nomination day to the voting day (April 28 – May 9, 2018); a total of 12 days. The radio stations chosen for this study are operated by a national broadcasterRadio Television Malaysia (RTM), which were Nasional FM (95.3 MHz), Ai FM (89.3 MHz) and Traxx FM (100.1 MHz). The findings showed that the news reporting patterns among the three radio stations were consistent throughout the examination period. Most of the news reported by the three radio channels were neutral but 10 RTM reports were still pro-Barisan Nasional (BN), which was the leading slant of the reports ahead of anti-PKR ones. Media-related issues (false news, imbalance news, inaccurate information) were received the second higher-ranked of issues reported by the radio channels.

APTIDÃO ANAERÓBIA COMO FATOR DETERMINANTE NO DESEMPENHO DO SURFE: UMA REVISÃO NARRATIVA
Authors: Colantonio Emilson , Freo da Luz Marianne
Published: May 2024

O surfe é um dos esportes que mais cresce atualmente em todo o mundo, mas apesar dessa evolução, a literatura é limitada quanto as características aeróbias e anaeróbias dos surfistas. Estudos prévios têm utilizado diversas formas de avaliação na tentativa de simular as ações dos surfistas. A produção de energia durante uma sessão de Surfe é proveniente do sistema oxidativo-aeróbio devido a longos períodos de remadas, mas também um bom desempenho em uma sessão de Surfe envolve esforços, predominantemente anaeróbios, com remadas curtas e intensas para entrada na onda e realização de manobras. Dessa forma, força, velocidade e potência se tornam relevantes na participação do metabolismo anaeróbio. A potência anaeróbia pode ser definida como o máximo de energia liberada pelo sistema anaeróbio por unidade de tempo; enquanto a capacidade anaeróbia representa a quantidade total de energia disponível a partir do metabolismo anaeróbio. O objetivo desse estudo foi compreender a relação entre a aptidão anaeróbia e o desempenho no Surfe. Estudos relacionados à aptidão anaeróbia em praticantes e atletas de Surfe são fundamentais para a otimização da prescrição do treinamento físico nesse esporte e consequente melhor performance competitiva. Para tanto, realizamos uma busca nas bases de dados eletrônicos: Pubmed, Scielo, Lilacs e SPORTDiscus, utilizando as palavras-chaves: “surf”, “surfing”, "anaerobic", “anaerobic fitness” e “performance”. Após as etapas de filtragem doas artigos encontrados, foram selecionados sete artigos para análise que responderam à questão norteadora. Diante do que a literatura dessa área tem mostrado até o presente momento, pode-se considerar a importância do aprimoramento da potência e capacidade anaeróbia para surfistas como fatores determinantes no desempenho do Surfe competitivo.

Introdução: O comportamento sedentário (CS) é considerado um problema de saúde pública e tem sido associado a diversos desfechos negativos de saúde. Entretanto, ainda não se sabe muito sobre a prevalência do CS entre os profissionais de saúde da Atenção Básica, visto que este comportamento além de ter se tornado um importante fator de risco para o surgimento de doenças crônicas,  também pode ter se agravado durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência do CS e analisar as associações com fatores sociodemográficos, características ocupacionais e condições clínicas dos trabalhadores da saúde. Materiais e métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de corte transversal, realizado durante a pandemia da COVID-19 com  105 profissionais de saúde da Atenção Básica, de um município da Bahia e outro de Minas Gerais. A coleta dos dados foi realizada por meio de formulário online, que incluiu condições sociodemográficas, ocupacionais, hábitos de vida e doenças referidas. O CS e a inatividade física foram avaliados utilizando o International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) - versão longa. Realizou-se análise descritiva para caracterização da amostra e regressão logística de Poisson bruta e ajustada. Resultados: Os participantes foram majoritariamente mulheres (82,9%), agentes comunitários de saúde (42,9%),  com média de idade de 39,69 (± 10,81) anos. A prevalência de comportamento sedentário elevado foi de 53,3%. Essa condição associou-se ao nível de escolaridade (RP=1,88; IC 95%; 1,16–3,03) dos participantes e a presença de câncer (RP=0,31 IC 95%; 0,12 – 0,83). Conclusão: Os resultados mostraram que mais da metade dos trabalhadores apresentaram tempo elevado em comportamento sedentário e essa condição foi mais acentuada entre aqueles com menores níveis de escolaridade e entre os trabalhadores que tinham câncer.

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as respostas agudas da frequência cardíaca (FC) e percepção subjetiva de esforço (PSE) em duas sessões de treinamento intervalado de alta intensidade (TIAI) com e sem realização de exercícios neuromusculares em bombeiros militares. Vinte e dois bombeiros (idade: 29,1 ± 4,3 anos; massa corporal: 75,4 ± 9,2 kg; estatura: 176 ± 0,1 cm) realizaram um teste de corrida de 2.400m para determinação da velocidade média (v2400) e um teste incremental intermitente de Carminatti (TCAR) para determinação do pico de velocidade (PV). Os participantes realizaram duas sessões de TIAI, uma com e outra sem execução de exercícios neuromusculares. As sessões compreenderam 4 séries de 5 minutos de esforço a 102% da v2400 intercaladas com 3 min de recuperação passiva. Cada série foi composta por corrida no sistema vai-e-vem, com 6 segundos de ida, seguida de recuperação de 6 segundos e corrida de 6 segundos de volta, com recuperação de 12 segundos. Nesses 12 segundos realizou-se recuperação passiva (TIAIsem) ou exercícios neuromusculares (TIAIcom). A FC foi monitorada durante a sessão, e a PSE, ao final de cada série. A sessão TIAIcom resultou em maiores médias de FC (93,3 ± 2,4 vs. 87,4 ± 3,4% FCmáx; p<0,001) e PSE (5,6 ± 1,1 vs. 3,2 ± 0,7 u.a.; p<0,001) em comparação a TIAIsem. Em conclusão, ambas sessões resultaram em alta demanda cardiovascular, porém a inserção de exercícios neuromusculares aumentou a FC e a PSE. Portanto, os treinos compreendem um método individualizado relevante e de fácil aplicação para treinamento em Corporações desse segmento.

Impact of social exclusion on social identity: Social-philosophical dimension
Authors: Ilchuk Sergiy
Published: May 2024

The article examines the impact of social exclusion on a person’s social identity. For this purpose, the works of foreign and Ukrainian researchers were analyzed and it was found that the latter is mostly considered as a personal construct that arises against the background of intergroup differences and ingroup similarities and expresses a person's solidarity with group norms, values and ideals. The latter can change during a person’s life under the influence of various challenges and transform a person’s social identity in a positive or negative direction. Thus, in cases where a person has internal resources for solving certain problems or overcoming life challenges, which are accompanied by his exclusion from the usual social environment, his social identity changes in a positive way, and he himself moves to a new level of social life and occupies the corresponding last place in society. Under such conditions, the change in his social identity occurs quite naturally and contributes to the formation of relatively stable ideas of a person about himself and society about him. These ideas are confirmed by the new social status, which marks the role and place that the individual occupies in the social system according to the main spheres of social life. Instead, the exclusion of a person from the usual social environment, as a result of one or another life challenges (loss of job or housing, occupation of the region, migration, etc.), which deprives a person of the opportunity to fully integrate into social processes and be a full-fledged part of society, can be accompanied not only by radical changes in human value system, but also deviant forms of behavior that will lead to social exclusion in the future.
Jean Baudrillard ve Trompe-L'œil Diyalektiğinde Jean Nouvel Mimarlığı
Authors: İsmailoğlu Semiha
Published: May 2024

Mimarlık ve felsefe ara kesitinde büyük bir öneme sahip olduğu düşülen Jean Baudrillard, söylemleri ve kavramları ile adından sıkça söz ettirmektedir. Birçok disiplinle ilişkili olan çalışmaları da birbiriyle etkileşim içerisindedir. Gerçeğin kaybolduğu ve hipergerçekliğin yaşandığı bir evrende yanılsamalar üzerinden söylemleri de bulunmaktadır. Yanılsamalar olarak söz ettiği trompe-l'œil kavramı gerçekçi görünen bir optik yanılsama olarak özellikle resim alanında kullanılan bir tekniktir. Baudrillard’ın gerçek diye üretilen trompe-l'œil olarak anlatmak istediği var olmayanın var olma durumu ile ilgili algı karmaşası yaratılmasıdır. Bu bağlamda trompe-l'œil tekniğini sıklıkla kullandığı düşünülen ve Baudrillard ile mimarlık disiplininden etkileşim içerisinde olan mimar Jean Nouvel üzerine tartışılması gereksinimi duyulmuştur. Çalışmanın amacı göz yanılsama tekniği olan trompe-l'œil ile Nouvel mimarlığı üzerinden mimarlık alanında kullanımını değerlendirmektir. Ayrıca mimarlıkta yaratılmak istenen algı için trompe-l'œil tekniğinin kullanımını örnekle aktarmaktır. Çalışmanın örneklemi Jean Nouvel’in yapılarında oluşmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamındaki yapılar Jean Nouvel’in yapıları anlattığı metinler üzerinden ele alınmıştır. Çünkü mimarın tasarıma dair düşüncelerini doğrudan edinmek ve net bilgi edinerek irdelemelerde bulunulması gerekmektedir. Nouvel’in tasarımlarından seçilen örnekler doğal ışık ve cam yüzey kullanılarak trompe-l'œil olduğu düşünülenlerden seçilmiştir. Sonuç olarak Nouvel’in tasarımlarında doğal ışık ve cam yüzeylerin önemli olduğu; Cartier Vakfı yapısının doğrudan bir trompe-l’œil uygulaması olduğu söylenebilir.

The work provides a 'visual, graphical, historical, and statistical analysis of changes in the average yield of grain crops. The period from 1900 to 1933 is proposed to be divided into smaller periods consisting of H years, defined as small. For each small period, a statistical analysis is carried out, which includes calculating probabilistic characteristics, checking the average yield values for abnormal values, the presence of changes in the indicator during the period, and the nature of this change. Dividing the time interval into small periods allows us to study the change in yield in more detail and identify factors influencing this process. For each period, a hypothesis is put forward about the type of changes, and the acceptance or non-acceptance of the hypothesis is justified. The statistical analysis results are considered within the framework of past events identified during historical analysis. Building a model of changes in average yield during the period under review allows us to assess the industry’s past development and suggest possible future development scenarios. Analyzing the results of a statistical study in combination with historical context will provide a deeper understanding of the reasons for changes in yields and their impact on the development of the industry.

The theoretical foundations of the ecosystem approach to the digitalization of the Russian agro-industrial complex are considered. The hypothesis of this study was the assumption that the digital ecosystem is a higher level of cooperation in the agro-industrial complex, involving the unification of all participants on a digital platform and with the help of digital technologies. Digital ecosystems meet all the requirements of the sixth technological order and allow agricultural producers to move to it at a faster pace. It is shown that digital ecosystems accelerate the process of introducing digital technologies into the agro-industrial complex (its digitalization), thereby contributing to the effective functioning of ecosystems, i.e. these are interrelated categories. It is proposed to understand the digitalization of the agro-industrial complex as “the mass introduction of digital technologies, the increase in the use of digital and/or computer technologies in the economic activities of an individual agro-industrial complex enterprise, a household or the agricultural sector of the economy as a whole." and the “digital ecosystem of the regional agro-industrial complex” is a set of organizational and economic tools, promoting the construction of mutually beneficial production relations between subjects of the region’s agro-industrial complex using a digital platform to increase the share of small and medium-sized agricultural producers in the regional market for agricultural products, and ultimately, to ensure the sustainability of the rural economy through the creation of new cooperative ties.

It has been established that in mini-feed mills with a productivity of up to 5 t/h, pneumatic transport systems with a cyclone unloader are more promising due to the lower emission of finely dispersed components. However, there are fewer such workshops on the market due to the smaller loading -volume of horizontal mixers on which cyclones are installed compared to vertical mixers that perform the function of cyclone-unloaders, in which emissions of fine dust into the work area are higher, which negatively affects working conditions, health of workers, as well as fire safety of premises. To reduce emissions of fine dust into the exhaust pipe of the cyclone, a technical solution in the form of a two-stage cyclone was proposed. A preliminary experimental test on a laboratory model showed an increase in particle collection by 32% about the serial cyclone-unloader CR under the same initial conditions and in the same standard size. As part of the design of a full-size version of the proposed two-stage cyclone, computer modeling of the separation process was carried out in the FlowSimulation software environment with dimensions close to the commercially produced cyclone BCR-450 to identify the influence of the geometric parameters of the -vortex funnel on the process of separation of fine particles from the transporting air flow with variable geometric dimensions diameter and height of the vortex funnel in the range from 100 to 270 and from 100 to 235 mm, respectively. Preliminary rational geometric parameters of the vortex funnel diameter equal to 180 mm and height equal to 150 mm of the proposed technical solution with a hydraulic resistance coefficient of8.4 are substantiated.
Influence of the probiotic preparation immunofloor on the immune status of broiler chickens

In conditions of intensification of the livestock industry, to combat infectious pathology, antimicrobial drugs are most often, and in some cases haphazardly, used, which accumulate in raw materials and food products and contribute to environmental pollution. Antibiotics have a detrimental and pathogenic effect on the normal microflora of the gastrointestinal tract of animals and poultry. Against this background, dysbiosis is observed, leading to metabolic disorders, decreased digestibility of essential feed nutrients, and the development of immunological deficiency. One of the leading areas of agricultural science and practice is developing and introducing drugs and feed additives that are an alternative to antibiotics into livestock farming. Probiotics have a unique role in solving this problem. Probiotic preparations ’ therapeutic and prophylactic properties are based on maintaining normal flora at a physiologically necessary level, reducing diarrhea in animals, and improving digestion processes. Probiotics have thefunctions of improving metabolic processes, immunostimulating activity, adaptogenic effects, increasing all types of productivity offarm animals and poultry, and improving the quality of livestock products. Introducing probiotic preparations into poultry and livestockfarming requiresfurther study of their biological properties and immunostimulating activity. The influence of the probiotic drug Immunoflor on the state of natural resistance factors in poultry was studied. Four groups of day-old broiler chickens of the Arbor Acres cross were formed: a control group and three experimental groups. In addition to the main diet, the birds of the experimental groups received Immunoflor in amounts of 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 kg/t of feed. It was established that the inclusion of aprobiotic drug in the diet of broilers contributed to the strengthening of humoral factors of natural resistance due to an increase in the lysozyme and bactericidal activity of blood serum by 10.5 - 17.2 and 8.5 - 12.1% by the end of cultivation. The phagocytic properties of chicken blood leukocytes have also improved. Under the influence of Immunoflor, an increase in the mass of immunocompetent organs was observed in 42-day-old broiler chickens. The maximum indicators of poultry population safety were established in the experimental groups.
