Antecedentes: ante el aumento de la malnutrición por exceso (sobrepeso y obesidad), se han investigado múltiples factores que podrían estar relacionados con el aumento de esta incidencia, uno de estos es la alteración en la percepción del sabor dulce. Objetivo: relacionar la percepción subjetiva de intensidad del sabor dulce con la composición corporal en estudiantes universitarios de la ciudad de Talca, Chile. Materiales y métodos: estudio cuasiexperimental con un diseño cruzado y ciego simple. La muestra de 43 voluntarios fue sometida a un examen
de impedancia bioeléctrica para determinar la composición corporal. La percepción de intensidad del sabor dulce se determinó con cinco concentraciones de sacarosa al 5, 10, 15, 20 y 25 %, las que debieron ser evaluadas en una escala visual análoga (EVA), desde “no percibo dulzor” hasta “es demasiado dulce”. Resultados: se identificó un aumento significativo de la percepción de intensidad del sabor dulce entre sacarosa al 10 y 15 % (p < 0,001) y entre la concentración del 15 al 20 % (p < 0,05). Se encontraron correlaciones entre masa grasa (Rho= -0,67, p < 0,001) e IMC (Rho= -0,62, p < 0,01) con la intensidad de sabor al 20 %, sobre todo en mujeres. Conclusiones: la percepción de intensidad del sabor dulce, sobre todo al 20 %, podría ser un buen predictor de la acumulación de masa grasa; futuros estudios podrían validar esta característica con otras variables clínicas.
DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT IN HIGHER MILITARY EDUCATION IN UKRAINE: CONCEPTUAL APPROACHES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, VOVKOTECHA Oleksandr
Published: January 2025

Background . The concept of "educational environment" is considered (from the point of view of the subject) as a system of
influences and conditions for the formation of personality, opportunities for its development and education, which are in the educational
environment.
Results. The article provides a scientific overview of the types of educational environment. Conceptual approaches to the
formation of the educational environment in higher military education are proposed. To increase the impact of the "educational
environment" on the quality of training of future military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ( based on the example of training of
military chaplains), it is proposed to update the conceptual approaches that determine the direction and nature of actions to achieve
educational objectives, namely: axiological, communication and personal, competence, organisational and activity, synergistic, spatial
and subject, integrative, environmental, comparative. Today, the training of military chaplains is an innovative area of professional training
of narrow specialists, which contributes to the disclosure of their own capabilities and the formation of civic consciousness. As a result
of scientific research, it was found that the formation of the educational environment in the current conditions of higher military education
in Ukraine is purposeful and continuous, responding to the current challenges of the personality-oriented education paradigm. A highquality educational environment that meets the expectations of the participants in the educational process should focus on students' selfrealisation, their self-identification in mastering their future profession, building harmonious interaction and cooperation with the military.
After all, by purposefully strengthening conceptual approaches in the educational environment of a higher military education
institution, namely in the training of chaplains as specialists of a new format, an indirect impact on the educational process can be made.
It is important for educators to take into account the potential of the educational environment of a military higher education institution as
an educational tool that primarily affects the activity and internal freedom of students, their civic position, self-education, motivation to
acquire knowledge, independence, etc.
С onclusions. The author's vision of the implementation of conceptual approaches in the educational environment of military
chaplains' training in wartime is proposed. The importance of educators' attention to the digitalization of professional education, mastering
information technology and server tools by military chaplains is proved.

Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, PLAKHOTNIK Olha , KONDRATIUK Alla ,   National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya, Ukraine
Published: January 2025

Background. The article deals with the peculiarities of the development of research universities in Germany, their modification and tasks in providing quality education and research.
Results. The article focuses on the role of research universities which were founded in the early nineteenth century (the
author describes the model of the research university by W. Humboldt which became the beginning of a new era in the development of university education) and qualitative changes aimed at modernising European universities to enhance their role in organising and conducting research. The article notes that it was the model of the German university, which was formed in the nineteenth century that became a model for the first wave of development of higher education institutions on the way to the model of a modern research university. The characteristic features of the German university model were academic freedom of the professoriate, independent status of the institution with its own broad rights and power, and close ties with the state. In the period from the eighteenth to the nineteenth centuries, many elements of the German education system were taken as a basis for the formation of the US education system in the nineteenth century, including higher education.
Conclusions. In the period from the eighteenth to the nineteenth centuries, many elements of the German education
system were taken as a basis for the formation of the US education system in the nineteenth century, including higher education. Taking into account the leading role of the League of European Research Universities (LERU) as an association of the most famous European universities, the author emphasises their role in influencing educational policy in Europe, developing best practices of joint activities and mutual exchange of experience through the publication of relevant documents and reports that offer an analysis of the situation in education and provide certain recommendations for all stakeholders in this process. In addition, he authors of the article focuses on the study of experience and successful strategies for the creation and development of research universities in Ukraine.

Wedding chwesta as a Specific Norm of Social Coexistence
Authors: Maksymiuk-Pacek Beata
Published: January 2025

This article presents an old wedding custom called chwesta. It was known in Poland and abroad, and consisted of collecting gifts for the bride and groom while inviting guests to the wedding. This custom had a double dimension – economic and social. Firstly, it provided material support for the bride and her future husband, and secondly, it strengthened the bonds between members of the local community, especially rural ones. The wedding chwesta was thus an important part of the wedding ritual, which involved not only the bride and groom's family but also the entire local community, reflecting the solidarity and sense of mutual responsibility of the inhabitants. Although the custom disappeared in the early 20th century, it remained an important symbol of care and responsibility for one another in the face of important life events.
"Jak to ze lnem było"? Remarks on Maria Konopnicka’s Tale
Authors: Obsulewicz-Niewińska Beata
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to Maria Konopnicka’s short prose Jak to ze lnem było. The tale from the volume Książka dla Tadzia i Zosi (1892) constitutes an attempt to read the work in the context of the writer’s work written with young readers in mind, with a clear pedagogical aspect. In addition, it establishes interpretative proposals resulting from the genre convention of the tale. It focuses on the title thread, i.e. the motif of flax, its cultivation and value in the material culture, economy and folk tradition of the 19th century. It presents the different use of the motif of flax in the legacy of Konopnicka and H. Ch. Andersen. It shows the elements in the author’s autobiography that are connected with the presence of flax in Polish and Lithuanian folklore.
Linguistic Means of Expressing Judgments about the So-Called Stick-Outs, Postcards and Bibliophilic Books in the Epistolographic Works of Wisława Szymborska
Authors: Cygan Stanisław
Published: January 2025

The subject of the study is the linguistic means of valuation contained in letters of the Polish Nobel Prize winner Wisława Szymborska to the Toruń bibliophile Tadeusz Zakrzewski. They refer to the poet’s passion for collecting and her passion for creating unique, unrepeatable collages, stickers, postcards “of her own making”, which were sent to friends, and loved ones. Among these unsophisticated linguistic means, value-adjectives (evaluatives) occupy an important place, e.g. great, wonderful, lovely, and nouns: small postcards, rarity, trivia, trifles, wonders. Analysis of the linguistic material showed that adjectives and nouns that are axiologically characterized refer mainly to the aesthetic values of the postcards collected and the bibliophilic qualities of the books sent. Less numerous in terms of frequency are yet other linguistic exponents of evaluations.
Conceptualization of the Notion of “Hope” in French and Polish Autonymous Forms – a Cognitive Study
Authors: Lipińska Magdalena Zofia
Published: January 2025

The method used to describe the conceptualization of the notion of hope in French and in Polish is cognitive, as represented by G. Lakoff, M. Johnson, W. R. Langacker and E. Rosch. The analyzed corpus consists of Polish and French quotations. The distinguished conceptual metaphors that describe the notion of hope refer to a number of cognitive models, including the Ideal Cognitive Model (ICM) of hope, as well as to the Typical Cognitive Model (TCM). Hypo-hyperonymic relations found between cognitive metaphors as well as semantic universals belonging to metaphor source domains in two compared languages have been identified. The prototypical proverb about hope in each language has been identified as well.
How Do Trainee Translators Mobilise Internal and External Support in L1 and L2 Translation Processes?
Authors: Chodkiewicz-Nalepa Marta
Published: January 2025

When solving translation problems, translators rely on internal and external sources of support, which is associated with the level of their translation competence and information literacy skills. This quantitative and qualitative multiple case study explores the types of support used by undergraduate translation students with stronger and weaker language skills before and after their first 7.5 months of translator education. The article examines the extent and success of use of internal and external resources in solving problems during L1 and L2 translation, as well as illustrating their diverse activation in sample translation processes. An analysis of data concerning the translation process and product for 315 problem-solving paths showed, among others, the importance of the activation of internal resources in addition to the use of external ones in providing high-quality translations, greater reliance on internal resources in L1 translation, greater success in relying on external resources to solve translation problems, and the complexity of the interplay between internal and external resources. Pedagogical implications are formulated with regard to promoting the optimal use of both types of resources, with a particular focus on process-oriented pedagogy.
Mechanisms of (Self)censorship in Eliza Orzeszkowa’s Correspondence with Malwina Blumberg
Authors: Kuniczuk Agnieszka
Published: January 2025

Eliza Orzeszkowa’s correspondence with Malwina Blumberg brings many interesting traces of self-censorship or censorship by third parties. Malwina Blumberg, a translator of Orzeszkowa’s works into German, became so close to the writer over the years that the author of Nad Niemnem revealed to her self-censorship practices and the mechanisms of Aesop’s speech used in literary works. The explanations of the reasons and methods of applying stylistic treatments are an important signal of how Orzeszkowa treated both the prohibitions of tsarist censorship and her own readers.
Phenomenology of Poetic Language
Authors: Trzaskowski Zbigniew
Published: January 2025

The author focuses on the levels of language function and characterizes the nature of poetic texts in five dimensions: self-expression (in speech and writing); grammatical units; meaning (semantics); the relationship between the poet, text, reader, and situation (pragmatics). In the final part, he considers how poetic texts transcend the ontology of reality, possibility, and necessity transporting readers into fictional, absurd, and fantastic worlds.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to see the urgency of learning to read local wisdom-based hikayat texts towards literature learning at Abdurrab Integrated Islamic Senior High School. This study is expected to provide new insights into literary studies, especially in learning classical Malay literature hikayat texts and achieving learning objectives. The method used in this study is quantitative with interview and questionnaire techniques. The data in this study were obtained through interviews conducted with teachers and the results of student needs questionnaires. The sample in this study was twenty tenth grade students. Based on the results of the interview, it can be seen that Indonesian language teachers who provide literature material require hikayat text learning with the implementation of hikayat text learning based on local wisdom. Based on the results of the student questionnaire, out of twenty students, seven students did not understand the hikayat text material and thirteen students understood the hikayat text enough without any integration of local wisdom in the learning process. Therefore, the urgency of learning to read local wisdom-based hikayat texts is very much needed in tenth grade Indonesian language learning to support the success of learning competencies and curriculum.

Exploring suture pharyngoplasty outcomes in OSA: A tertiary hospital experience
Authors: Padmanabhan Karthikeyan
Published: January 2025

The study evaluates the efficacy of suture pharyngoplasty in managing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) through a case series of 25 patients. OSA, characterized by recurrent upper airway collapse during sleep, results in fragmented sleep, intermittent hypoxia, oxygen desaturation, and systemic complications. Despite continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) being the standard treatment, its poor tolerance necessitates alternative approaches. Suture pharyngoplasty, combined with lifestyle modifications, was assessed as a minimally invasive surgical solution targeting lateral pharyngeal wall collapse.

Patients aged 18–60 with mild to moderate OSA underwent preoperative assessments, including polysomnography, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and STOP-BANG criteria. Postoperative evaluations at three and six months revealed significant reductions in the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation episodes. Notable improvements in oxygen saturation, ESS scores, and STOP-BANG scores were observed, reflecting enhanced sleep quality and reduced disease severity. The procedure demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with no major complications and only minor, transient postoperative discomfort.

The results affirm the potential of suture pharyngoplasty in effectively reducing OSA severity, improving patient-reported outcomes, and achieving sustained benefits with minimal risk. This series aligns with existing literature, supporting the procedure as a viable alternative for carefully selected patients. The findings underscore the role of suture pharyngoplasty as a promising addition to OSA management strategies, emphasizing the need for further validation in broader patient populations.
Results of Paleomagnetic Study of the Neoproterozoic Katav Formation (Southern Urals)
Authors: Golovanova I. V. , Danukalov K. N. , Salmanova R. Yu. , Parfiriev N. P.
Published: January 2025

The Neoproterozoic Katav Formation, which is a part of the Ural stratotype section, was considered to be remagnetized in the Late Paleozoic for many years. If the primary magnetization of the rocks is proven, the magnetostratigraphic record found in the Katav Formation may become a good paleomagnetic benchmark in the Neoproterozoic history of the Earth and serve as a source of information about deep processes in the Earth and their evolution. In this work, the arguments in favor of the primacy of the high-temperature characteristic component of magnetization of the Neoproterozoic Katav Formation rocks, previously put forward by V.E. Pavlov and I. Galle, were verified and confirmed on more extensive and detailed material. New paleomagnetic data have been obtained for two sections of the Katav Formation in the Southern Urals near the town of Yuryuzan and the village of Galiakberovo, as well as the overlying Inzer Formation near the village of Galiakberovo. A detailed magnetostratigraphic section of the Katav Formation for the Yuryuzan section is presented. The analysis of the upper part of the section shows 39 polarity intervals within the 74.6 m thick strata. The new data confirmed the existence of a trend of displacement of paleomagnetic directions from bottom to top along the studied sections of the Katav Formation, directed towards the paleomagnetic direction of the overlying Inzer Formation. The total value of the displacement in the Katav Formation is consistent in sections located at a distance from each other, located in areas with slightly different geological history. A significant difference in the direction of the characteristic component of magnetization in the Katav Formation from the corresponding directions in the Inzer Formation was confirmed. Generalization of new and previously obtained data gives grounds to consider the primary characteristic component of magnetization of the Katav Formation deposits, previously considered to be remagnetized. The frequency estimates of the geomagnetic reversals revealed by the new data in the upper part of the Yuryuzan section using the results of our previously performed cyclostratigraphic analysis are 11–12 reversals per million years. Thus, the existence of another interval of geomagnetic field hyperactivity in the Neoproterozoic is confirmed.

The paper presents results of the experimental study of geochemical processes in the “formation water – CO – rock” system at reservoir conditions for waterand oil-saturated intervals of several typical terrigenous and carbonate formations of Urals-Volga region. Compositions of formation water and dissolved gas are analyzed at each stage of the experiments, as well as mineral composition of core samples before and after the interaction. Based on the experimental results, a summarizing analysis is presented of possible physical and chemical processes occurring in the “formation water – CO2– rock” system during carbon dioxide injection into waterand oil-bearing formations. The results of the experiments allow us to highlight the significant effects of dissolution and resuspension of carbonates and halite during exposure of carbonized formation water with core material of different lithology and saturation character. In a number of experiments, significant changes in the iron and sulfate anions content were recorded, indicating the interaction of the solution with pyrite and gypsum. There were no significant qualitative and quantitative differences in the results of experiments with core material from water-saturated and oilsaturated intervals of the same lithology.

The work studied the lithological and geochemical characteristics of oil and gas source rocks of the central part of the Volga-Ural oil and gas bearing province. The purpose of the work was to reconstruct their formation conditions, study the generation potential and maturity of organic matter, and examine prospects for industrial development. The rocks were studied macroscopically, as well as X-ray analysis, pyrolysis using the Rock-Eval method, SARA analysis, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The formation of the Domanik deposits, Bobrikovsky and Pashiysky horizon mudstones, and Upper Kazan substage clays have all been proven to have occurred in a maritime environment. The content of organic matter in the rocks varies from 0.35 to 11.16%. Minute amounts of organic matter that are difficult to accurately in terms of their geochemical properties can be found in the clayey deposits of the Vereisky and Timan horizons. The Upper Kazan substage clays contain type II/ III kerogen. Mudstones of the Bobrikovsky and Pashiysky horizons, as well as Domanik deposits, contain organic matter represented by type II kerogen. The data obtained may indicate common mechanisms for the accumulation of sapropelic organic matter on the territory of the Volga-Ural basin from Pashian (Frasnian stage) to Bobrikovian (Visean stage) times. It was revealed that the studied deposits are at the stage of catagenesis (PC-MK1). At the same time, Domanik deposits have very good and excellent generation potential, which is characterized by the greatest maturity. Mudstones of the Bobrikovsky horizon have similar generation potential.

Published: January 2025

Roselle seeds, rich in antioxidants, have anti-nutrients content, limiting their use in food applications. Processing methods can alter their composition and minimize these anti-nutrients. This study investigates the influence of processing methods on the antioxidant and antinutrient composition of roselle seed flour. Roselle seeds were fermented, germinated, and roasted, and a portion was left unprocessed to serve as a control. The samples were analyzed for antinutrients like tannins, phytate, saponins, oxalate and cyanide. Antioxidants such as anthocyanin, flavonoid and phenolic compounds were also analyzed using established analytical procedures. The data was subjected to linear regression analysis and t-test to reveal the influence of processing on the various phytochemicals. The treatment methods significantly (P = 0.05) influenced the concentration of all antioxidants, and antinutrients of the flour. The results show that the roasting method preserved the antioxidants more than all treatments but was not equally effective in depleting the antinutrients. This study recommends that the choice of processing method for roselle seeds should be tailored to the potential needs of the consumers. These deductions can help enhance the utilization of roselle seed flour to benefit both producers and consumers and enhance food security.

Published: January 2025

Citrus fruit flies are a major kind of quarantine pest that spreads with a potential outbreak in citrus producing areas in Zhaoqing. A variety of fruit flies can be monitored and controlled by physical methods. However, there is a lack of effect evaluation of trapping fruit flies during production. In this study, the effects of different physical trapping methods were tested for bactrocera minax (b. minax) and bactrocera dorsalis (b. dorsalis) in the sugar orange orchards in Zhaoqing. The result showed that in a non-fruiting orchard and fruiting orchard respectively, the numbers of bactrocera dorsalis trapped by sex pheromones were 110 and 32, 25.7 and 6 by food attractants, and 24 and 5 by yellow sticky boards. While the number of bactrocera dorsalis trapped by sex pheromones was significantly higher than that by food attractants and yellow sticky boards, the number of species and quantity of insects trapped by food attractants and yellow sticky boards were, however, higher than by sex pheromones, and bactrocera minax were also trapped. From October to December, there were two peaks of trapped numbers of bactrocera dorsalis, while the number of the bactrocera minax remained stable. In terms of cost per mu, the costs for the first trapping cycle were 55, 40 and 40 yuan per mu by sex pheromones, food attractants and yellow sticky boards respectively, and 15, 40 and 40 yuan per mu after the second trapping cycle. None of the three methods involved contact between lethal chemicals and the fruit. In light of the yearly outbreak due to the life cycles of these two fruit flies, a variety of trapping methods with comprehensive prevention and control measures should be applied starting from the management of non-fruiting orchards, so as to promote pesticide reduction and green plant protection.
Post training reward is beneficial to the behavior paradigm building
Authors: Pan Xianji
Published: January 2025

The behavior paradigm building of laboratory animals is a common method in biological research. Training animals according to different paradigms can often be used to explore some characteristics of animals. Conditional training is the starting point and foundation of each paradigm training. Goal behavior training is the main content of paradigm building. Effective paradigm training can save a lot of time and improve the state of experimental animals. This research results showed that proper post training reward could effectively improve the training motivation and training efficiency of mice. These behaviors will also benefit the effect of behavior paradigm building. Therefore, we suggest that an appropriate and effective post training reward scheme should be design for each behavior paradigm building.
Elliptical Fourier analysis of molar outlines in Late Pliocene Parapapio whitei from Makapansgat Limeworks, South Africa
Authors: Kim Alexander C. , Williams Frank L’Engle
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Alongside Australopithecus africanus at Makapansgat South Africa, dated to nearly 3 million years before present, are remnants of Parapapio (Cercopithecinae). The extreme variability of this fossil assemblage has stymied efforts to specify the taxon parameters for Parapapio, which are attributed to at least three species.
Study aims: The first maxillary molar occlusal outlines of the two most complete fossils attributed to Parapapio whitei are compared. The degree of group cohesion in Parapapio whitei is evaluated using three extant cercopithecoid taxa.
Methods and Materials: The fossil crania from Makapangsat Members 3–4, MP 221 and MP 223, both referred to Parapapio whitei, are compared to three extant cercopithecoid taxa including Cercocebus agilis (n=8), Colobus angolensis (n=8) and Papio anubis (n=8). Molar shape is captured using elliptical Fourier analysis of occlusal outlines and molar size dimensions are estimated from measuring software.
Results: MP 223 is larger than MP 221 in occlusal area and the minimum buccolingual length of M1 although the variability between the two Parapapio whitei fossils is commensurate with that observed in Papio anubis. MP 221 and MP 223 are more similar to one another in occlusal outline shape than to any other taxon. However, MP 223 falls consistently closer to Papio anubis whereas MP 221 resembles Papio anubis in some respects and Cercocebus agilis in others.
Conclusion: MP 221 and MP 223 likely belong to a single species with no clear affinity to any of the extant taxa examined. The differences in molar size characterizing Parapapio whitei, a terrestrial forager, is potentially indicative of male bimaturatism or ecological variability which may also characterize Australopithecus africanus at Makapansgat.

Niniejsze rozmówki polsko-angielskie, polsko-ukraińskie i polsko-rosyjskie zawierają słownictwo i zwroty niezbędne do porozumiewania się podczas wykonywania obowiązków służbowych w sytuacjach z udziałem cudzoziemców. Zastosowano w nich bardzo uproszczony zapis wymowy poszczególnych słów i zwrotów (umieszczony w nawiasach kwadratowych), wykorzystujący symbole dźwięków w języku polskim. Wyjątek w wersji angielskiej stanowią dwa symbole dźwięków niewystępujących w języku polskim, tj. [θ] i [ð], które wymawia się z koniuszkiem języka umieszczonym pod przednimi zębami, a które zależnie od słowa mogą brzmieć podobnie do polskich w, z, lub s. Akcentowane sylaby zaznaczono podkreśleniem, a samogłoski wymawiane dłużej niż w języku polskim oznaczono dwukropkiem, np. police car [polis ka:]. W wymowie w języku ukraińskim apostrof [’] wskazuje, że poprzedzająca spółgłoska pozostaje twarda (nie zmiękcza się), mimo że po niej występuje miękka samogłoska, taka jak я, ю, є, ї. Miękki znak (`) z kolei sugeruje zmiękczenie poprzedzającej spółgłoski, np. п’ять (pięć) – [p’jat`].

El propósito del presente estudio ha sido analizar la relación de la Inversión Extranjera Directa (IED) en la rentabilidad de las empresas del sector agropecuario ecuatoriano según su tamaño. Para ello se ha extraído información oficial acerca de los estados financieros de 3877 empresas que conforman dicho sector y las cifras que han recibido de IED en el período enero a diciembre durante los años 2010-2022. La información fue analizada conformando una estructura de datos de panel mediante Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios (MCO), tomando como variable independiente la IED y como dependientes las medidas de rentabilidad Retorno sobre el Patrimonio (ROE) y Retorno sobre Activos (ROA). Los resultados indican que los flujos de IED tienen mayor relación con la rentabilidad de las empresas grandes del sector agropecuario, el cual incluye los subsectores A01 de agricultura y ganadería, A02 de silvicultura y A03 de pesca. En conclusión, las grandes empresas se benefician principalmente de los montos invertidos por empresas extranjeras, lo cual permite la transferencia tecnológica y la mejora continua de sus procesos.

La Universidad de Guayaquil, siguiendo los delineamientos de la política agropecuaria del país, por intermedio del centro de apoyo Vinces de la Universidad de Guayaquil, ejecutó dos proyectos de investigación para el desarrollo de nuevas variedades de arroz; de ello se obtuvieron dos variedades denominadas “Vinces UG-03” y “Vinces UG-10”. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la morfología y características industriales de dos variedades de arroz. Se utilizó un diseño de bloques completamente al azar con cinco tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones, se realizó un análisis de varianza para la comparación de medias mediante la prueba de Duncan (p=<0,05). Se evaluaron parámetros agronómicos e industrial de acuerdo con el protocolo de la “UPOV” Unión Internacional para la Protección de las Obtenciones Vegetales. De acuerdo con los resultados se determinó que la variedad “Vinces UG-03” en las variables: panícula: longitud (cm), cariópside a la madurez: largo con cáscara (mm), cariópside a la madurez: ancho con cáscara (mm), cariópside a la madurez: peso de mil granos con cáscara (gramos),  calidad: calidad industrial: proteínas (%) y calidad industrial: rendimiento (%) presentaron los mayores promedios, lo que conlleva a que esta variedad tiene caracteres distintivos que aportarían al desarrollo agro productivo e industrial arrocero.
