Authors: Hidayat Medhy Aginta , Afifuddin Mohammad
Published: August 2024

Madurese society gives privileges and high social status to those who have the title of Hajj. However, research on the Hajj in Madura focused more on the perspective of male Hajj (Ajjhi). In fact, the number of female pilgrims in Madura is higher than the number of males. The research aimed to explain the process of forming gender identity, religious identity, and social identity of Hajj from the perspective of female Hajj (Ebhu Ajjhi) in Madura. The research used qualitative methods, with a phenomenological approach. Data was obtained from observations and in-depth interviews with 16 informants in Bangkalan and Sampang, Madura. Data was analyzed using the Denzin model with a theoretical framework of identity construction, social capital, and symbolic capital. It found that the Hajj title influenced changes in Ebhu Ajjhi's physical and non-physical identity. Physical changes include more conservative clothing, meanwhile non-physical changes include increasing socio-economic-cultural access. Hajj title are also a source of social capital and symbolic capital, growing new networks, building trust and respect. However, the privilege of the title of Hajj in Madura is mainly enjoyed by male Hajj. Traditional gender roles shape different perceptions about Hajj title in Madura. Even though he has the title of Hajj, Ebhu Ajjhi's role are limited to the domestic sphere.

Published: August 2024

The features of polyamine and amino acid metabolism play a key role in the cellular processes, and the search for their role as prognostic and diagnostic (assessment of fetal condition severity) markers in obstetrics can contribute to improvement of perinatal outcomes in fetal growth restriction (FGR) syndrome, both isolated and combined with early onset preeclampsia (PE). The study was aimed to determine the features of polyamine and amino acid levels associated with placentaassociated pregnancy complications. Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used to determine blood levels of polyamines and amino acids in 156 pregnant women divided into the following groups: with FGR — 48 pregnant women, with early onset PE — 56 pregnant women, control group — 52 somatically healthy women having no pregnancy complications. As a result, we managed to distinguish significant differences in these metabolites, depending on the obstetric complication (PE or FGR), and to determine correlations of those with a number of clinical data. We revealed a strong negative correlation between the increasing fetal condition decompensation in FGR and the length of the newborn’s hospital stay for the PE and FGR groups, as well as between the levels of 1,7-diaminoheptane polyamine (r = –0.78, CI = –0.92 – ‒0.37, p = 0.002; r = –0.76, CI = –0.95 – 0.23, p = 0.003) and proline amino acid and the increasing fetal condition decompensation in FGR (r = –0.56, CI = –0.86 – –0.034, p = 0.03). Considering the diversity and complexity of metabolic pathways responsible for adaptation in the context of hypoxic damage, the results obtained suggest that regulation of amino acids and polyamines is coordinated. Metabolic pathways of low molecular weight antioxidants, proline and polyamines, are associated with clinical pregnancy outcomes in FGR and early-onset PE.

The impact of microtransactions on the gamification of digital games
Authors: Bobkova A. H. , Semerak O. S. , Manzyuk V. V. , Zaborovskyy V. V.
Published: August 2024

This article explores the impact of microtransactions as a form of monetization of game content and further gamification of digital games and video games. The relationship between gambling and monetized video games is considered, as well as the essence of gamblification of video games as a form of media convergence and the practice of spreading gambling in society. The main subject of the study is the question of whether the use of monetized game content leads to gambling addiction, since, unlike gambling, which under the laws of most countries is allowed to be accessed upon reaching the age of majority, monetized game content does not have age restrictions, and thus can affect not yet formed child (adolescent) psyche.
Despite the fact that microtransactions in the gaming industry can provide additional streams to support video game development, research also shows the presence of so-called «predatory» monetization schemes.
The article presents experimental studies of simulated gambling (such as social casino games, loot box purchases, etc.) by adolescents and their transition to gambling after reaching adulthood.
Emphasis is placed on various approaches to gamification of digital and video games. From the position that microtransactions in video games do not affect later cognitive behavior and do not lead to gambling tendencies, to the fact that microtransactions have a negative effect on video game culture because they not only lead to addiction, but also create an imbalance in the gaming community. The latter is explained by the fact that it often takes several tens of hours to achieve something in a digital game, microtransactions allow you to reduce this time to a minimum for a certain amount of money. In any case, this issue is difficult not only from a social and psychological point of view, but also from a legal and economic point of view, and therefore requires additional research.
State participation in investment agreements (international investment activity): issues of immunity and jurisdiction
Authors: Popko E. V.
Published: August 2024

It is indicated that international private-law relations nowadays are expanding significantly primarily in connection with the internationalization of economic life. The modern world is characterized by the economic interdependence of states, the expansion of not only traditional forms of foreign economic relations, but also relatively new forms such as leasing operations, concessions, franchising, and others.
The article examines the current trends in the development of state immunity in international private law relations, in particular, in investment relations. The author defines the scope of these relations and gives their general characteristics, as well as identifies the peculiarities of the State’s participation in these relations as a subject of private international law. The author examines the content, types of international investment relations, development trends and peculiarities of legal regulation. The author pays special attention to the jurisdictional issues of investment dispute resolution involving states. The author analyzes legal acts and shows the role of judicial practice in this area. The author substantiates the need to apply functional (limited) immunity in international private law relations.
Expansion of the range of international private legal relations over time due to the development of foreign economic activity, integration processes, and interdependence of States in the second half of the twentieth century contributed to the expansion of State participation in civil (private) relations, which objectively led to the establishment of the concept of functional (limited) immunity in the legislative, judicial and contractual practice of different countries.
The concept of limited immunity is becoming increasingly popular in the world, which is explained by the development of economic relations between different countries and the increasing involvement of states in commercial activities, which on their own behalf enter into various foreign trade agreements, obtain loans from foreign banks, use maritime transport for commercial purposes, i.e. by their actions they seem to put themselves in the position of a merchant, trader, private person, which then allows the courts to consider them as ordinary participants in the process. The current policy vector of most continental law states on immunity issues is shifting towards the use of limited immunity of states.
Encouraging business entities to engage in socially responsible behaviour: selected instruments
Authors: Soshnykov A. O.
Published: August 2024

The article analyses certain forms of business support, including grant support at the expense of public funds.
In the context of constant instability and uncertainty, businesses are actively seeking alternative financial resources to carry out their activities. One of these external sources is the attraction of funds from the state and local budgets. Such support is especially important for small and medium-sized businesses. In its turn, the State (through public authorities or specialised institutions), by providing financial (grant) support, has the right to require these companies to comply with the rules and fulfil additional obligations in the context of social behaviour. It is noted that the State does not currently make full use of these tools.
Given the rather difficult situation of business, the author proposes to introduce a mixed model of corporate social responsibility in Ukraine, where the principle of voluntariness will be ensured (business will independently decide whether and to what extent to adhere to high standards of socially responsible behaviour), the State will create conditions for encouraging business to behave in this way, and on the other hand, the State will carry out stricter regulation of certain types of activities.
Based on the results of the study, proposals have been developed to encourage business entities to implement the principles of socially responsible behaviour. It is noted that in grant competitions, the compliance of a potential grantee with high standards of good conduct is important. The author substantiates a change in approaches to the evaluation of project applications of business entities in grant competitions.
It is proved that the state, through the grant support system, should give priority and further fund only projects of businesses that implement socially responsible behaviour.
It is proposed to tighten the requirements for potential grantees who are to be supported at the expense of state and local budgets.
The author emphasises the expediency of introducing a special mechanism for the selection of suppliers and service providers for grant recipients, which will take into account the established integrity policy.
Legal regulation of relations regarding the provision of nuclear and radiation safety in Ukraine in peacetime and martial law conditions

Published: August 2024

The article examines the issue of legal regulation of nuclear and radiation safety relations in Ukraine in peacetime and martial law conditions. The legal aspects of the formation of nuclear legislation during the period of large-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine are studied. The purpose of the article is to highlight the problems of legal regulation of nuclear and radiation safety relations in Ukraine in peacetime and martial law conditions. The authors of the article conducted a retrospective review and the current state of development of the national legislation of Ukraine in the field of ensuring nuclear and radiation safety. As a result of such consideration, it was determined that over thirty years, an extensive system of nuclear legislation has developed, at the same time, today the system of the legal framework in the field of the use of nuclear energy, ensuring nuclear and radiation safety, radiation protection of citizens from the effects of ionizing radiation in Ukraine consists of documents of three levels. The authors of the article came to the following conclusions. Ukraine must fulfill its international legal obligations in full. Despite the rather extensive system of nuclear legislation under martial law, it is actively developing and improving. At the same time, there is a need to solve the issue of improving foreign and international legislation, in particular, at the same time as the national legislation. EU legislation. In the future, the norms of this legislation must be implemented in the national legislation of all EU member states and the IAEA. Despite the inability of the IAEA to solve the issue of ensuring nuclear and radiation safety under the conditions of martial law, as well as the problem of constant nuclear blackmail by the Russian Federation, in our opinion, at the moment, it is the only international organization that is capable, by sending its experts, in particular, on the Zaporizhia NPP, which has been captured by Russian troops since March 2022, to have at least a small impact on solving the above-mentioned tasks. However, in the future, i.e. after the end of military operations in Ukraine, the international community will have to resolve issues related to the reorganization of international humanitarian law, as well as the activities of such organizations as the UN and the IAEA.
Legal regulation of population protection during radiation emergency situations at nuclear power plants under martial law
Authors: Matviichuk A. O.
Published: August 2024

Peculiarities of legal regulation of population protection during radiation emergency situations at nuclear power plants under martial law conditions have been studied. The decisive link is the prevention of emergency situations at NPPs, the provision of deep-echeloned five-level protection of NPPs in accordance with NP 3062.141-2008 “General provisions for the safety of nuclear plants”. In wartime conditions, additional threats to the NPP as a critical infrastructure facility should be taken into account, including cyber terrorism, cyberespionage, threats of terrorist acts, threats of missile attacks, information threats, as well as the threat of loss of power supply for the NPP’s own needs.
The need to create a regulatory body in Ukraine for the implementation of state policy on nuclear and radiation safety issues, as a state collegial body of executive power with a special status, through the adoption of the relevant Law, with the determination of the features of the state regulation of nuclear and radiation safety during the period of martial law, in particular to determine by law, is substantiated conditions for introducing maximum autonomy in NPP management, maximum simplification and minimal intervention in NPP operation while preserving all actions related to ensuring nuclear and radiation safety; proper organization of interaction with the public.
According to the results of the study, taking into account the experience of the EU, it is proposed to introduce a system of independent advisory and advisory bodies based on the National Commission for Radiation Protection of the Population of Ukraine (NKRZU), which was formed in accordance with the Declaration on the State Sovereignty of Ukraine of July 16, 1990, as a permanently active higher independent collegial scientific and expert advisory body on anti-radiation protection and radiation safety of the population of Ukraine, with the aim of identifying problematic issues and providing recommendations on the specifics of developing plans for the protection of personnel and the population in the event of radiation accidents at nuclear plants.
The research uses the general dialectical method, the method of scientific knowledge, the method of interpreting legal norms, the formal legal method, the comparative legal method, and the method of systemic analysis.

Reconfigurações alegóricas de uma Revolução
Authors: Dias Maria Heloisa Martins
Published: August 2024

A partir da focalização de um episódio nuclear do romance Paisagem com mulher e mar ao fundo (1982), de Teolinda Gersão, este artigo propõe suscitar reflexões sobre os sentidos desdobrados da figura opressora de Oliveira Salazar e os efeitos de sua ação ditatorial sobre o país. Não apenas o conteúdo político contido nesse momento histórico, mas, principalmente, o modo como esse recorte é tratado ficcionalmente e gera efeitos para além da pontualidade do acontecimento. Nesse caso, o “acontecimento” (noção colocada por Jacques Derrida) tem que ver com a linguagem, enquanto “desconstrução” e “diferença”, enfim, uma escrita enquanto “devir” que rasura o factual para re-configurá-lo em outro espaço – o da escritura. É por meio desta que a romancista portuguesa utiliza alegorias que problematizam, tanto a figura do Poder quanto a da massa revolucionária que busca derrubá-lo. Visionarismo, mitogenia, sacralização, ritos  religiosos,  profanação,  polifonia  acabam  despontando  na  narrativa  como  recursos  estéticos  que propiciam interessantes indagações sobre a Revolução de Abril. Eis a atualidade desse romance de Teolinda Gersão. Nosso corpus crítico está constituído por Rolando Barthes, Octavio Paz, Walter Benjamin, José Miguel Wisnik, Flávio Kothe, entre outros autores.
Revolução, palavra-mulher: a respeito de alguma poesia de Maria Teresa Horta e Natália Correia
Authors: Fonseca Carlos Henrique
Published: August 2024

Maria Teresa Horta e Natália Correia são duas autoras de extrema importância na Literatura Portuguesa, fazendo de  sua  poesia  um  espaço  de  compromisso  com  o  seu  tempo  referencialmente  histórico  e,  recorrentemente, discutindo o papel da mulher. Com base nesse viés, o presente artigo tem por objetivo ser uma revisitação crítica a dois livros das autoras: Mulheres de Abril (1977), de Teresa Horta, e as Cantigas de amigo, publicadas como inéditos na reunião da poesia de Natália Correia, O Sol nas Noites e o Luar nos Dias (1993). Com base na leitura de alguns poemas selecionados, este trabalho pretende discutir como a discursividade poética em feminino das duas autoras tematizou o 25 de Abril.
A sintaxe vegetal na topografia das meninas de Agustina Bessa-Luís: o estar como o ir sendo?
Authors: Ferreira Cláudia Capela
Published: August 2024

Este ensaio analisa a topografia de Ema de Vale Abraão, a rapariga do incisivo quebrado de “Um inverno frio” e Alfreda de A alma dos ricos, lendo tais personagens como excrescências similares ao tecido vegetal que as enquadra. A sua excentricidade e excesso fazem-nas marginais aos cenários interiores em que se movem, alcançando no exterior o cerne da sua realização. Reflete-se ainda sobre a construção narrativa dos espaços referentes a essa amostra de personagens em função daquilo que entendemos tratar-se de um princípio de mutabilidade das coordenadas espaciais, uma forma de deslocamento do espaço fixo. Esta impressão de movimento pode ser textualmente produzida pela prefiguração de horizontalidade e verticalidade dos espaços, tal como pela instauração de uma cadência mediada pela expansão e pausa na relação da personagem com o espaço, com fins mutáveis evolutivos. Para o demonstrar, recorre--se ao uso de instrumentos de leitura comparatista e topoanalítica, tomando-se de empréstimo e em cruzamento os conceitos de espaço e lugar de Yi-Fu Tuan (1983) e Marc Augé (2020), a noção de ambientede Ozíris Borges Filho (2020) e setting de Marie-Laure Ryan (2016), bem como la phénoménologie du rondde Gaston Bachelard (1994).
Exploring non-financial incentives for employee motivation in small and medium enterprises in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Altassan Megren Abdullah
Published: August 2024

The primary objective of this research is to investigate how non-financial incentives impact employee motivation within the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) operating in Saudi Arabia. Employing a positivist research approach, we employed a carefully crafted survey to collect data from 365 employees employed by SMEs situated in Jeddah. The study explores various aspects, including the most common non-monetary motivators, the interplay between non-monetary and monetary incentives, and the effects of non-financial incentives on employee engagement, job satisfaction, and commitment. The results of the study indicate that employees working in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Saudi Arabia place a significant emphasis on a good work environment, recognition, possibilities for personal and professional development, and career growth as prevalent non-monetary motivators. Additionally, the research illustrates a notable difference in the perceived efficacy of non-financial and financial incentives, whereby non-financial incentives are seen to have an equal, if not greater, impact on both motivation and work satisfaction. Moreover, the study reveals robust positive correlations between non-financial incentives and employee outcomes, underscoring the significance of these incentives in augmenting work satisfaction, job engagement, and commitment. The consequences of employee motivation are influenced by control factors, which have diverse influences, highlighting the complex nature of this phenomenon.
Choreografie niepełnosprawności a klasyczny etos. Asymilacje i negocjacje
Authors: Müller Alicja
Published: August 2024

The article examines two main choreographies of non-standard motorics. The first of them is dubbed ‘virtuoso aesthetization’, the other – ‘difference enhancement’. Their functioning can be explained by reference to certain ballet moves in which a dancer with disability is paired with a highly-skilled performer, e.g. Diana Niepce in Anda, Diana or Mary Verdi-Fletcher’s Dancing in my dreams… daring to be free! In either show the danseuse is lifted and led by her partner. However, while the body language of Anda, Diana accentuates the overcoming of resistance, the latter is a ballet dance in which the other body is made to follow and bend. Whereas Diana Niepce creates a choreography suggestive of crip, where dramatic tension is built on the ever-present risk of pain and injury, Mary Verdi-Fletcher’s art seems to be driven by a desire to leave behind the imperfections of the body. This could be interpreted as an echo of a discriminatory attitude towards disability (ableism). The article asks the question whether Verdi-Fletch-er’s performances have an emancipatory potential, but the main focus is on the compar-ison in the two artists’ choreographic practice. It seems, the article concludes, that either has developed her own model of expanding and loosening up the ballet dance canon.

Published: August 2024

In this introduction to the special section on the Colonialities of climate change and action we provide a conceptual mapping that can help us engage critically with existing approaches to thinking and acting in the context of climate change. We carry out this exercise inspired by Latin American decolonial and political ecology scholarship, as well as by Farhana Sultana's notion of climate coloniality. In an effort to pluralize our understanding of climate coloniality, the articles we present in the special section reflect the diversity and interconnectedness of theoretical, conceptual, methodological, and activists' traditions on several continents. Beyond these contributions, we make a call to further pluralize our understanding of the colonialities of climate change and action, taking into consideration different intellectual strands of postcolonial thought, subaltern studies, and decolonization, including those that engage critically with them.

Reformasi Agraria dan Dampaknya terhadap Perekonomian Indonesia pada Era Orde Lama dan Orde Baru
Authors: Lubis Mira Ardilla , Abdilla Muhammad Fajar , Berutu Siti Sardiana
Published: August 2024

Agrarian reform encompasses a series of government actions and policies designed to restructure the land system, aiming to enhance social justice, reduce land ownership inequality, increase agricultural productivity, and stimulate economic growth in the agricultural sector. These reforms typically involve transferring land from large owners to smaller farmers, improving the land ownership structure, and granting land to farmers. This study employs descriptive qualitative research. According to Lexi J. Moleong, qualitative research seeks to understand phenomena experienced by the subjects. Although agrarian reform in Indonesia began during Dutch colonialism, significant reforms were implemented during the Old Order and New Order eras, particularly through Law Number 5 of 1960, known as the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA). This law established regulations related to agrarian principles during the Old Order period. The Old Order’s agrarian reform aimed to dismantle colonial capitalism and feudalism by nationalizing foreign companies and redistributing land. However, agrarian reform in Indonesia still faces numerous challenges that need to be addressed to ensure inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
Pemerintahan Tradisional di Dataran Tinggi Karo Masa Pemerintahan Kolonial Belanda
Authors: Irianna Irianna
Published: August 2024

This article discusses the influence of the Sultanate of Aceh since 1868 on the traditional Karo leaders who ruled in the five sebayak or kingdoms of Sebayak Lingga, Suka, Barus Jahe, Sarinembah and Kuta Buluh. Aceh's influence extended to only four of the five kingdoms, with Kuta Buluh remaining independent. Aceh's influence was less profound among traditional Karo leaders and almost non-existent among the general population, as Acehnese Islamic traditions and religion were not adopted at that time. Dutch rule began to influence traditional Karo leaders in 1905, but it wasn't until 1908 that it became region-wide. Dutch influence was very strong, both on the leaders and the Karo people. The Dutch completely controlled the leaders in the Karo plains, who in turn applied their leadership to their subordinates, the Raja Urung who ruled the urung and the Penghulu who ruled the village. The Dutch also regulated the government system, changing the name of kesebayakan into Landschappen, and restructuring the number of urung. This research uses the historical method with an analytical descriptive approach to discuss the government system and social life during the influence of the Sultanate of Aceh and the Dutch in the Karo highlands.

The research aims to explore the historical context, technical developments, and socio-economic impacts of the railway construction in this region. Using a historical method with a qualitative approach, the study analyzes primary sources such as colonial archives and technical reports, along with secondary sources like historical books and scholarly articles. The findings highlight the introduction of rack railway systems to navigate steep terrains, demonstrating Dutch colonial technical prowess. Additionally, the construction of the Ombilin coal mines and the associated railway network significantly boosted the local economy but also revealed the exploitation of labor. Overall, the study provides insights into the interplay between technology, colonialism, and local society, emphasizing the importance of geographical adaptation in infrastructure development.

Spodoptera exigua is the primary pest attacking shallot plants from the vegetative to the generative phase. Yield loss caused by S. exigua attack can reach 57%. Rhizobacteria have been known to be used as biocontrol agents for controlling insect pests. The research objectives were to determine and compare the effectiveness of Yuyaos and BPTPH rhizobacteria formula (Bacillus sp.) in suppressing the attack of S. exigua on shallot-growing areas. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) of 3 treatments and five replications. The treatment consisted of shallot seedlings treated with two types of rhizobacteria (Yuyaos and BPTPH) and water (without rhizobacteria) as control before planting. Beneficial effects of the rhizobacteria on shallot plants were observed in the following variables, including the development of the S. exigua population, damage level of S. exigua, and shallot growth. The results showed that introducing Yuyaos rhizobacteria (RZ2.1AG1, Bacillus thuringiensis), which originated from the rhizosphere of the chili plant, was the best way to protect shallot plants from S.exigua. Effectively reduced the population of S.exigua (78.90%), leaf damage (62.12%), and damage intensity (38.88%). On the other hand, Yuyaos was also influential in increasing tuber growth (11.11%), plant height (43.29%), number of leaves (58.33%), and number of tillers (22.22%).
A Critical Analysis of Ephesians 5:21-33 in the Light of Christian Marriage in Ebonyi State, Nigeria

Ephesians 5:21-33 focused on the relationship between husband and wife. However, the teachings of Ephesians 5:21-33 have been greatly ignored by some Christian couples in Ebonyi State and, consequently, resulted in marital problems such as domestic violence, divorce, frequent quarrelling, and so on. The study addressed this problem from the optic of Ephesians 5:21-33. The historical-critical method was used to study the text, while in-depth interviews served as a means of data collection. A purposive sampling technique was employed to select ten respondents who were willing to participate in the study. All data generated in the study were qualitatively analysed. The findings indicated that the call for wives to submit to their husbands does not imply inferiority but absolute obedience to the divine order in marriage. Also, the husband’s headship over the wife does not denote dominance but care, protection, service and love. The study encouraged Christian husbands and wives, especially in Ebonyi State, to love and submit to one another, thereby affirming the equality of husband and wife in dignity without denying their different roles.

Дан обзор основных подходов к описанию и моделированию популяционных реакций. Функционирование локальных популяций рассмотрено как альтернативное: контроль и восстановление. С учетом возможности и механизмов изменения функции виды могут быть объединены в три группы с прогнозируемыми ожидаемыми демографическими характеристиками, возможными негативными последствиями контроля, устойчивостью к действию факторов и скоростью восстановления локальной популяции.

An overview of the main approaches to the description and modeling of population process is given. The functioning of local populations is considered as an alternative: control vs. recovery. Taking into account the possibilities and mechanisms for changing the function, species can be combined into three groups with expected demographic patterns, predictable negative consequences of control, with prognoses of resistance to impacts and the rates of recovery of populations.

Категория эмерджентных инфекций насчитывает более 300 новых, кардинально меняющих стереотипы или возвращающихся (реэмерджентных) особо опасных, социально и экономически значимых нозоединиц животных и человека. Выход возбудителей за рамки сложившихся естественных симбиосистем хозяин патоген среда происходит преимущественно как следствие прямой или синергизирующей разрушительной антропо и техногенной деятельности в планетарном масштабе и провоцирует чрезвычайные проблемы ветеринарной и гуманной медицины. Трафик патогенов в направлении природные резервуары домашние животные, человек сопровождается необычными для ортодоксальной эпидемиологии явлениями, такими как пострезервуарная амплификация инфекции, индексслучаи, внесистемная заболеваемость типа спилловер (spill over). Примерами таких явлений служат эмерджентные вирусные зоонозы с природными резервуарами в популяциях рукокрылых новые для науки и практики болезни Хендра и Нипах, тяжелый острый и ближневосточный респираторные синдромы, марбург и эболавирусные болезни, возникновение которых на рубеже столетий сопровождалось чрезвычайными последствиями для гуманной и ветеринарной медицины, а также лиссавирусные инфекции.

The category of emergent infections includes more than 300 new, radically changing stereotypes or reemergent especially dangerous, socially and economically significant nosoforms of the animal and human. The release of pathogens beyond the established natural host pathogen environment symbiosis occurs primarily as a result of direct or synergistic destructive anthropogenic activities on a global scale and provokes extreme problems of veterinary and humane medicine. Traffic pathogens with vector of natural reservoirs domestic animals, man is accompanied by phenomena that are unusual for orthodox epidemiology, such as postreserve amplification of infection, index cases, and offsystem morbidity of the spill over type. Demonstrative examples of emergent phenomena are viral zoonoses natural reservoirs that serve populations of bats there is new to the science and practice of diseases Hendra and Nipah, Severe Acute and the Middle East Respiratory Syndromes, Marburg and Ebolaviruse diseases the occurrence of which in the turn of the century was accompanied by extraordinary disasters on human and veterinary medicine as well as lyssavirus infections.

Рассмотрены возможности определения размера частиц в коммерческих и опытной композициях, произведенных с использованием технологии микрокапсулирования инсектицидных субстанций. В качестве капсулообразователей фигурировали различные строительные блоки природные липиды (животного и растительного происхождения) и синтетические полимерные материалы, при этом в качестве инкапсулированных инсектицидных субстанций рассматривались синтетические пиретроидные и фосфорорганические производные. Рассмотрены несколько вариантов проведения оценки размеров частиц в растворах инсектицидных микрокапсулированных средств. Установлено, что для корректного определения размера частиц необходимо проводить разбавление исходных композиций до концентраций ниже установленных значений для рабочих растворов. Диапазон размера частиц, выявленный в процессе исследования, позволяет отнести все рассмотренные композиции к микрокапсулированным.

The possibilities of determining the particle size in commercial and experimental compositions produced using the technology of microencapsulation of insecticidal substances are considered. Various building blocks natural lipids (of animal and plant origin) and synthetic polymeric materialswere used as capsuleformers, while different classes of organic compounds pyrethroid and organophosphorus derivativeswere considered as encapsulated insecticidal substances. The evaluation of particle sizes in the working solutions of microencapsulated insecticidal means. It is established that for the correct determination of the particle size it is necessary to dilute the initial compositions to concentrations below the set values for the working solutions. The range of particle size, revealed in the course of the study, allows us to refer all the considered compositions really to the microcapsulated ones. We believe it is necessary for the registration of new microencapsulated funds to implement not only control their residual effect on different surfaces and, optionally, monitoring of particle size, because their effectiveness and, perhaps, Toxicological characteristics, certainly, will not equally change the size of the capsules, and thus information on the size and fractional composition will serve as an important characteristics of these formulations.
