Authors: Arslan Gökmen , Yıldırım Murat , Wong paul T P
Published: June 2020

The present study sought to investigate the mediating effect of the affective balance and resilience on the association between meaningful living and psychological health problems among Turkish young adults in the context of pandemic. Participants were 359 Turkish young adults, comprising of primarily female (68.2%), and their age ranged between 18 to 43 (age M = 20.67, SD = 3.62). Findings from this study indicated that meaningful living had a positive predictive effect on resilience and positive affect, as well as a negative predicative on psychological health challenges and negative affect. Resilience and affective balance also mediated the effect of meaningful living on psychological health of young adults. These results suggest that resilience and affective balance are important aspects of implementing meaning-based preventions and interventions. Thus, meaning–based prevention and intervention strategies could be designed to not only to improve individuals’ life meaning and purpose but also build up resilience and positive affective experiences to foster their psychological health.
Does Partisanship Shape Investor Beliefs? Evidence from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Cookson J. Anthony , Engelberg Joseph E. , Mullins William
Published: June 2020

We use party-identifying language – like “Liberal Media” and “MAGA”– to identify Republican users on the investor social platform StockTwits. Using a difference-in-difference design, we find that the beliefs of partisan Republicans about equities remain relatively unfazed during the COVID-19 pandemic, while other users become considerably more pessimistic. In cross-sectional tests, we find Republicans become relatively more optimistic about stocks that suffered the most from COVID-19, but more pessimistic about Chinese stocks. Finally, stocks with the greatest partisan disagreement on StockTwits have significantly more trading in the broader market, explaining 28% of the increase in stock turnover during the pandemic.

Authors: KRYEZİU Artan , ISENI Astrit , TAHIRAJ Enver
Published: June 2020

The aim of the paper was to analyze the correlation of subcutaneous fat tissue variables with motor ability for women aged 11+ +/- 6 months. In a sample (n = 60) of the sixth grade (VI) of the Prishtina municipality, all attend the Physical Education (PE) curriculum. In this paper-experiment 12 variables were applied, 6 of which are morphological characteristics and 6 motor tests. All subjects are of female gender, of the lower secondary schools "Elen Gjika" and "Pjetër Bogdani" from the municipality of Prishtina. Correlative ratios between morphological characteristics and motor ability are relatively low. Also in these two dimensions treated, it is worth mentioning the negative correlative ratio between subcutaneous far variables with motor tests. Based on the results obtained in this experiment as well as the morphological changes of motor skills of this age, the changes in the locomotor system have not yet been developed, and any assignment given to these children presents the difficulty of carrying out a motor duty.
Kidney Cancer Research: Sex-Inclusive but Sex-Unspecific
Authors: Marignol Laure , Fuentes-Bonachera Adrian , Meunier Armelle , Waters Darragh , Marignol Laure , Manecksha Rustom P. , Lynch Thomas H.
Published: June 2020

Background: Preclinical and clinical research is largely inclusive of both the female and the male
population, but the lack of specific separation of data according to patient sex prevents the detection of the
impact of sex on cancer biology and response to medications and treatment. This study aimed to examine
the consideration of sex as a biological variable in preclinical and clinical studies in kidney cancer.
Methods: Preclinical and clinical studies pertaining to kidney cancer published in three leading urology
journals over a two-year period were reviewed for the reporting of cells, animal or patient sex, and the
inclusion of sex as a biological variable in both study design and data analysis.
Results: 171 clinical studies and 5 preclinical studies were included. While the sex of the participants was
disclosed in all but 10 of the 171 clinical studies reviewed, the patient populations were largely maledominated (male to female ratio > 1.5). Only 5 studies contained more female than male patients. Sexspecific reporting was performed in 3% of studies, and only 37% included sex as part of the statistical
analysis. 26% of these identified a statistically significant difference in measured outcomes between male
and female participants.
Conclusion: Kidney cancer research is sex-inclusive, but the female patient population remains
underrepresented. The consideration of sex in data analysis is low and could prevent the identification of
key sex-specific optimization opportunities for the improved management of the disease.
Pitfalls and Complications of Epiretinal Membrane Peeling in Eyes with Comorbid Subretinal Drusenoid Deposits: A Report of Five Cases
Authors: Wilde Craig , Ross Andrew R. , Wilde Craig , Chen Heen-Choon , Awad Mary , Amoaku Winfried M.
Published: June 2020

Background: Idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERM) are common with potential for severe visual loss.
Surgical outcomes are excellent but predominantly reported from healthy eye studies rather than those with
co-morbidities. We report a series of patients with subretinal drusenoid deposits (SRDD) and comorbid
ERM with post-operative complications or poor outcomes, describing potential pitfalls to avoid.
Case Presentation: This is a case series illustrating the poor functional and morphological outcomes
following ERM surgery in five eyes with SRDD. These eyes appear at risk of geographic atrophy (GA),
choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) formation (pre-and post-operatively) and outer retinal atrophy
(ORA), all of which can limit outcomes.
Conclusion: ERM surgery in eyes with SRDD presents specific challenges. Assessment of outer retinal
changes can be challenging pre-operatively, particularly with significant oedema. Identification of patients
with SRDD in ERM eyes often relies on examination of the contralateral eye. Appropriate listing is
paramount, with care taken to rule out pre-existing GA or CNVM through use of fundus fluorescein
angiography. Patients should be given a guarded prognosis during the consenting process if the outer retina
is poorly visualized.

Authors: Zhao Jingjun , Zhao Jingjun , Shen Liangliang , Huang Xin , Li Yufei
Published: June 2020

Polyurethane is a medical material, which has excellent physical properties and high mechanical
compatibility. At present, one of the most effective application methods for antibacterial bacterial biofilm
is to combine polyurethane with nano-silver, so that the polyurethane material itself has bactericidal
performance and finally plays a good antibacterial effect. From August 2011 to January 2014, 75 patients
with crush injury or avulsion injury who had difficulty healing were randomly divided into 5 groups.
Results: Comparison of colony count results of different concentrations of nano-silver polyurethane;
comparison of colony count results of two groups in vitro; comparison of anticoagulant degree and
determination of whole blood coagulation time; comparison of coagulation routine examination results of
two groups; comparison of epithelial growth factor levels at different time after treatment; comparison of
tumor necrosis factor- a levels at different time after treatment between two groups; comparison of change
times, visual analogue score of pain during treatment and hospitalization time of two groups; comparison
of white blood cell count of two groups of polyurethane patients within 1 week; comparison of clinical
efficacy between two groups.
Conclusion: The medical material containing nano-silver polyurethane is a good bacteriostatic biomaterial,
which can inhibit common iatrogenic pathogens in vitro. The application of 5% nano-silver polyurethane
medical material to open wound, especially in patients with avulsion and crush injury in orthopaedics, can
inhibit the growth of common hospital pathogenic bacteria. can significantly reduce the level of tumor
necrosis factor- a in the wound, reduce the local inflammatory response, and can significantly improve the
clinical effect of the treatment of complex wounds, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
Ultrasound-Guided Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection: A Narrative Review
Authors: Soni Preeti , Punj Jyotsna
Published: June 2020

Transforaminal epidural steroid injection is often administered to patients with radiculopathy under fluoroscopic guidance, although it has disadvantages of radiation hazards and requirement of a special area to perform the block. To avoid these disadvantages, ultrasound-guided transforaminal injection (USTFI) has recently been described and is continually developed. This review article describes the indexed articles published on USTFI and ultrasound-guided selective nerve block (SNRB) to evaluate current evidence on best approach to perform the block. Through literature search, eight articles and one case report on USTFI and five articles on ultrasoundguided SNRB were found. Most of the studies have utilized parasagittal orientation of curvilinear probe to perform the block. Nevertheless, with the present literature, it is difficult to come to any conclusion. Further studies with larger sample size and description of dye spread patterns are recommended to come to a more definite conclusion.

Authors: Koike Yoshinao , Kotani Yoshihisa , Terao Hidemasa , Iwasaki Norimasa
Published: June 2020

Study Design: Single-center retrospective study.Purpose: To compare the physical function and quality of life (QOL) parameters of two minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures: oblique lateral interbody fusion with percutaneous posterior fixation in lateral position (OLIF-LPF) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for single-level degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS). Overview of Literature: To date, many options for the surgical treatment of lumbar DS and reports have described the effectiveness of minimally invasive lateral access surgery and MIS-TLIF. However, there is still a paucity of comparative data regarding the physical function and QOL outcomes of OLIF and MIS-TLIF.Methods: Eighty-six patients were enrolled in this study (group O: OLIF-LPF, n=38; group T: MIS-TLIF, n=48). We evaluated the operation time, estimated blood loss (EBL), postoperative laboratory data, preoperative and postoperative radiographic parameters, overall functional outcome with the Japanese Orthopedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire (JOABPEQ) effectiveness rate, and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score for low back pain, leg pain, and leg numbness.Results: No statistical differences in operation time, EBL, and C-reactive protein level, 5 days postoperatively, between groups O and T. With respect to radiological outcome, preoperative and postoperative disc height change was significantly greater in group O than in group T (3.8 vs. 1.8 mm, p<0.05). Both groups showed postoperative improvements in the clinical outcome scores of all JOABPEQ domains, but the effectiveness rate increase in the psychological domain was significantly higher in group O than in group T (47.1% vs. 14.6%, p<0.05). No differences in the preoperative and postoperative VAS score change were noted between the two groups in any of the items.Conclusions: The changes in physical function and QOL parameters after OLIF-LPF and MIS-TLIF were almost equivalent; however, OLIF-LPF had significant superiority in the psychological domain.

Published: June 2020

Study Design: This study was a retrospective analysis.Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the functional outcome following spinal surgery in elite athletes using return-to-play criteria.Overview of Literature: Spinal ailments are relatively common in athletes and are bound to increase due to the ever-growing popularity of contact sports. An elite athlete is highly motivated to make a rapid recovery and return to full participation in sports. Although the criteria for diagnosis and surgical treatment of various spinal disorders in athletes have been well defined in the literature, there is no clear definition about the factors determining the return to play in athletes.Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of the data of 10 elite athletes who underwent spinal surgery for symptomatic degenerative disorder of the spine. Eight patients underwent lumbar spine surgery (two patients of microdiscectomy and six patients of fusion), and the remaining two patients underwent cervical spine surgery (one each anterior cervical discectomy and fusion and anterior cervical disc replacement). Outcome measures were investigated using return-to-training and return-to-sports criteria, as indicated by the length of time between surgery and return to competitive sports as parameters.Results: Of the 10 patients, eight were males and two were females. The average age of the patients at the time of surgery was 32.4 years (range, 25–41 years). All patients returned to active participation of their sports. The average time for return to training was 7.3 weeks (range, 3–12 weeks). The average time for return to sports was 45.6 weeks (range, 36–72 weeks), and the average follow-up period was 59 months (range, 27–120 months).Conclusions: Spine surgery in an elite athlete involved in contact sports is safe and effective. Currently, there is a lack of standardized guidelines for return to sports after spine injuries. An athlete needs to be symptom-free, with full range of motion and full strength before returning to sports.

The International Circulation and Impact of Invasion Fiction
Authors: Bulfin Ailise
Published: June 2020

A key text of the pre-First World War invasion fiction genre, William Le Queux’s The Invasion of 1910 (1906) is often assumed to have sold in vast quantities and provoked major controversy. This article investigates the circulation and social impact of this divisive, polemical work before and during the war to provide a more accurate account of its reception. Using Marie Corelli’s proven bestseller The Sorrows of Satan (1895) as a comparator, the article shows sales of The Invasion of 1910 were similar to other bestselling novels, though not comparable to Corelli’s phenomenal sales. Le Queux’s text, however, punched above the weight of the typical bestseller in terms of its social influence, receiving parliamentary censure, extensive newspaper coverage, wide satire and polarised reader responses. Overall, this analysis provides insight into the workings of the popular fiction industry and the nature and extent of invasion fears in the early twentieth century.
Gauging the Propagandist’s Talents
Authors: Matin A. Michael
Published: June 2020

Shortly after the outbreak of World War One, Charles Masterman was appointed by Prime Minister Asquith to oversee a covert literary propaganda campaign in support of the British war effort. Although William Le Queux had been one of the most prominent British anti-German writers during the prewar years, he was not recruited for this governmental endeavour that included many of the nation’s best-known writers. Nonetheless, he continued on his own to publish anti-German propaganda throughout the war. These two articles assess Le Queux’s national security-oriented writings within that broader context, and they offer a methodology for gauging the potential efficacy of such texts based on recent developments in the field of risk-perception studies. Part One (published in Part I of this issue) provides a historical and methodological foundation for both articles and assesses a number of Le Queux’s pre-1914 works. Part Two examines Le Queux’s career and writings from 1914 through to his death in 1927.

Masyarakat Indonesia adalah masyarakat yang kolektif karena memandang kepentingan kelompok lebih penting daripada kepentingan pribadi.  Walau demikian, karakter ini semakin berkurang seiring berkembangnya ekonomi. Hal ini semestinya ditunjukkan dari aspek adaptasi secara arsitektural rumah panggung. Penelitian ini memeriksa adaptasi ini pada sembilan rumah panggung yang ada di Kawasan 9 Ilir Kota Palembang. Rumah-rumah ini dibangun pada periode 1928 – 1964 dan terus bertahan hingga sekarang. Karenanya, kami juga berkesempatan menguji teori periodisasi adaptasi arsitektur dari Brand dan Schmidt et al. Berdasarkan periode perubahan material kolong dari segi tempat, struktur, dan bidang ruang, disimpulkan bahwa teori Brand lebih sesuai dengan konteks rumah panggung. Sementara itu, terkait penutupan dan pembangunan kolong, dapat disimpulkan bahwa telah terjadi perubahan fungsi kolektif menjadi individual namun kembali bergeser ke arah kolektif.

The purpose of this study examines the concept of the sacred space and profane of Gawok market Sukoharjo which was formed and grew because of the beliefs held between the Gawok community and the previous King Kasunanan. From this belief, traditions and cultures are created, such as the determination of the Pon market day, the Angon Putu Tradition, the Sesajen Jum’at Ritual, the Kulo Nuwun Ritual, the Nyuwun Pitedah Ritual, and the Ngubur Blanjan Ritual. Qualitative research methods are used to explore and observe research objects in depth and then describe the state of cultural traditions such as places, social behavior, activities, market activities that are not yet known specifically for analysis of the influence of the concept of sacred and profane spaces that form a market tradition. The result of this concept is to create a local cultural identity and character of local wisdom and the noble norms of the Gawok market to make the market survive and exist until now amidst current penetration and modernization.
Analytical Model of the Slotless Double-Sided Axial Flux Permanent-Magnet Brushless Machines
Authors: Ghaffari A.
Published: June 2020

Analytical approaches, if possible, are suggested for saving the simulation time in the design stage of the electrical machines. This benefit is highlighted when the optimization issues including too many iterations are desired. Hence, this paper presents a 2-D analytical model for magnetic field distribution based on the sub-domain method in a slotless double-sided axial flux permanent-magnet (PM) brushless machines (AFPMBMs) with internal-rotor-external-stators. According to this method, the machine cross-section is divided into the appropriate number of sub-regions and the related partial differential equations (PDEs) extracted from Maxwell equations are formed for magnetic vector potential in each sub-region. Applying curl on the obtained results leads to calculating the magnetic flux density components in each sub-region. Based on the superposition theorem, the analytical procedure is utilized in the two separate steps where in the first step the magnetic flux is originated by only PMs with various magnetization patterns (i.e., parallel, ideal Halbach, 2-segment Halbach and bar magnet in shifting magnetization patterns) and the armature currents are zero. In the second step, all PMs are inactivated and only armature currents affect the magnetic flux distribution. Finally, the obtained analytical results are compared with those of the Finite element method (FEM) to confirm the accuracy of the proposed analytical model. The extracted results reveal the benefit of the analytical model for replacing instead of the FEM to predict the magnetic flux density component in the presented AFPMBMs in a shorter time.

According to the results of the field researches, the state of the natural complexes of the territory (about 140 hectares) within the Yampil administrative district of Sumy region is characterized, the expediency of creation of a landscape reserve of the local value "Govorunovsky" in the studied territory is determined.

Based on the analysis of flora and vegetation, it has been established that most of the territory of the proposed reserve is occupied by peaty meadows dominated by Deschampsia caespitosa (L.) Beauv and a number of typical meadow and meadow-swamp species. They are also growing here Filipendula ulmaria (L.) Maxim., Lysimachia vulgaris L., Veratrum lobelianum Bernh., Cicuta virosa L., Alopecurus pratensis L., Festuca pratensis Huds., Juncus conglomeratus L., Carex hirta L., Ranunculus acris L., Achillea submillefolium Klok. et Krytzka, Epilobium palustre L., Geum urbanum L., Galium mollugo L., Stellaria graminea L., Potentilla anserina L., Humulus lupulus L. In the more dry areas which are strip-shaped along the northern boundary of the projected reserve and, accordingly, the pine forest, grassy groups formed with the dominance of Agrostis canina L. or Nardus stricta L.

It is noted that quite active natural restoration of tree species, such as Pinus sylvestris L., Betula pendula Roth, Pyrus communis L., occurs throughout the area of the proposed reserve.

It has been shown that the sozological value of the reserve lies in the presence of typical for the floodplains of small rivers of Polissya natural complexes, as well as the presence in the flora of the species of the Red Book of Ukraine ‒ Dactylorhiza fuchsii (Druce) Soo, a number of valuable medicinal plants (Valeriana exaltata J. C. Mikan, Sanquisorba officinalis L., Achillea submillefolium Klock. et Krytzka, Mentha arvensis L., Thymus marschallianus Willd., Potentilla erecta (L.)

Studies were conducted during 2017‒2019 based on the training laboratory of horticulture and viticulture of the Sumy National Agrarian University in the conditions of the North-Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. It was found that the pear was massively affected by rust. This is a fungal disease that was rarely found in fruit orchards of the North-Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine.

Rust infected pear trees very rarely in previous years. Only single spots were found on the leaves of the pear. Since 2015, the development of the disease has noticeably accelerated from year to year. There was a massive rust damage of the pear in the region in 2019. The prevalence of the disease reached 100 % in almost all varieties. Mostly the leaves were affected, not to a large extent the shoots of the pear. On the fruits of the external signs of the disease were not detected.

During the years of research, weather conditions were optimal for the spread of fungal diseases. Only the aecial stage of the fungus was observed on the pear.  The aecial stage of the pathogen is the most harmful. Affected pear leaves fall prematurely. Studies were conducted on pear varieties Lymonka, Petrovska, Medova, Osinnia Yakovlieva, Chyzhovska, Noiabrska, Bere Desiatova, Uliublenytsia Klappa, which showed different degrees of rust damage. The disease manifested itself most significantly (5 points) on the varieties, Uliublenytsia Klappa and Bere Desiatova. Not one of the varieties did not show high resistance to the pathogen. The pear of the Chyzhovska variety was less affected, with a defeat score of 3 (18.8 %) in 2017 and 4 (32.3 % and 44.1 %) in 2018‒2019.

It is known that the life cycle of the rust pathogen Gymnosporangium sabinae (Dicks.) G. Winter occurs on two plants: pear and juniper. The pathogen from juniper goes on the pear and vice versa. Pear trees do not become infected from each other. On the territory adjacent to the fruit garden of Sumy National Agrarian University, a survey of plantings of different types of juniper was conducted. There were no visible signs of the disease on the juniper. At the same time, pear trees were highly infected with the pathogen. Perhaps the spores of the fungus can spread far through air currents. But at the same time, possible changes in the life cycle of the pathogen in the conditions of this region. Clarification of this circumstance requires deeper further research.
Cultivation of miscanthus under conditions of the northeastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine
Authors: Radchenko M.V. , Hlupak Z.I. , Danylchenko O.M.
Published: June 2020

The problem of using alternative energy sources from renewable feedstock is becoming more and more of great current interest for modern society due to energy crisis and ecological situation which is getting worse. Among many high-yielding plants, perennial cereal miscanthus is an appreciable one for producing biofuel in the form of fuel granules.

Cultivating phytoenergetic cultures it is important to apply fertilizers as an important component of the technology, which is aimed at raising yielding capacity of vegetative mass.

Unlike other cereals, culm of miscanthus is partially or fully filled with white soft pith. Joints at the bottom of the culm are quite short, and on the top part of the culm they can be of a large length due to the division of intercalary meristem.

Thus, during the growing season the largest amount of joints on the culm was in the variant N60 – 7.1 pieces which is more comparing with the control on 1.3 pieces and with N30 - on 0.9 pieces. At the end of the growing season the amount of joints raised slightly. Thus, in the control variant the amount of joints was 6.4 pieces, N30 – 7.3 pieces and N60 – 8.0 which is more comparing with the growing season on 0.6 – 0.9 pieces on the culm.

As the result of the estimated indices we defined the greatest amount of leaves in the growing season by the variant N60 – 9.5 pieces per culm, and the least amount was on the control 7.8 pieces per culm, in the variant N30 – 8.7 pieces per culm. The same tendency was at the end of the growing season. Thus, the largest amount of leaves on the culm was in the variant N60 – 10.5 pieces, on the control – 8.5 pieces, N30 – 9.8. The difference in leaves amount on the culm between growing seasons varied from 0.7 to 1.0 pieces.

At the end of vegetation the weight of plants was 48.5–77.0 g. The least weight of plants was on the control – 48.5 g which is more on 20.5 g than in the variant N30, and on 28.5 g of the variant N60. So the maximal weight was 77.0 gr in the variant N60.

The weight of dry plant on the control was 25.1 g, N30 – 32.5 g, N60 – 37.1 g. The maximal weight of dry plant was in the variant N60 – 37.1 g, that is more on 4.6 g in the variant N30 and 12 g on the control.

Pre-harvest density of miskanthus plants by apllying different dozes of fertilizers varied. Thus, the greatest density was in the variant N60 – 42 pieces per m2. The less density was got in the variant N30 – 38 pieces per m2 and the least density was on the control – 37.0 pieces per m2.

According to the analysis of yield capacity indices of miscanthus during the years of research and different variants we pointed out that the maximal yielding capacity as for fertilizer dozes was in the variant N60 – 15.58 tons per ha, that is more on 20.7 % than in the variant N30 (12.35 tons per ha) and on 40.4 % that in the control variant (9.29 tons per ha).
Features of the ontogenetic structure of Helichrysum arenarium L. (Asteraceae) coenopopulations in the different phytocoenosis under the conditions of the Shostka district, Sumy region (Ukraine)
Authors: Penkovskа L.V.
Published: June 2020

The paper contains the characteristics of Helichrysum arenarium L. plants of various ontogenic stages and their percentage in six cenopopulations. On the ground of obtained results, conclusions are made regarding considering the ontogenic structure of H. arenarium cenopopulations in the conditions of Shostka geobotanical district, Sumy region (Ukraine). Complex assessment of the ontogenic structure of populations using a specialized software and conventional methodologies, showed that the majority of populations are represented by plants of 4–8 ontogenic stages. Most constant are the generative and old individuals present in all investigated cenopopulations. Based on the ratio of the age index and the efficiency index (values of Δ / ω), it was determined that majority cenopopulations are ageing. The value of the age index (by the method of Kovalenko I. M. [9]) is bigger than 1 in all investigated cenopopulations, suggesting the prevalence of degradation processes. According to the classification of T. O. Rabotnov, all investigated populations belong to the category of “normal”. All main characteristics of populations indicate their potential for sustainable existence in the study region. However, their viability appears to be different, with the most evident imitations being faced by the populations under the pine forest canopy (populations are incomplete as to the presence of various ontogenetic states). In contrast the populations growing in Pineto (sylvestris)–Aceretum (platanoiditis) helichryosum (arenarium) and Helichrysetum (arenarium) phleosum (pratense), аs well as Achilletum (millefolium) helichryosum (arenarium) is community distinguished by the most complete ontogenic structure. As a result of radical changes in natural ecosystems, there is a decrease in the populations of many species, which prompts us to find directions and ways of regulating the mechanisms of development of natural phytocenoses. As a promising scientific direction, the application of the morphometric and vital analyzes to the investigated cenopopulations for evaluation of sustainability parameters of the H. arenarium individuals in the studied area.

The successes in the selection of potato in the direction of creating varieties with a large average weight of commercial tubers depends on the quality of the source material, very desirable with the combination of high manifestation of the sign and the stability of its expression, regardless of external conditions. The researches were carried out in 2015–2017 under the conditions of the Ustymovskaya Research Station Plant (URSP) and the Sumy National Agrarian University (SNAU) in accordance with generally accepted methods in potato-growing. The starting material used different methods of creation, origin, degree of backing complex intraspecific hybrids with the participation of Mexican wild species. Significant potential of individual backcrosses has been revealed at the sign of a sign that is up to 1.8 times more than in the best grades. At the same time, he realized, depending on the external conditions is far from complete. Only in the most favorable for the meteorological complex in 2017, under the conditions of the SNAU, the proportion of hybrids having an average mass of one commercial tubers of more than 100 g was 75.8 %, and in the URSP it was 2,3 times less. The favorable conditions of the growing season of potato in 2017 are also evidenced by the proportion of hybrids with the maximum manifestation of the trait. In SNAU it was 28.3 %, and URSP – 25.3 %. The variability of the expression of the indicator at the test site is evidenced by the magnitude of its coefficient of variation. In the conditions of SNAU and URSP, the proportion of hybrids with a coefficient of variation of 10 % or less was 9.1 %. At the same time, in some hybrids the value of the indicator turned out to be very high – 50–70 %. Allocated hybrids, in which in each year the difference in the manifestation of the trait does not exceed 10–11 g, depending on the test site, namely: 90.673/30, 08.194/23 and 08.194/25, and in the hybrid 08.194/122 it was observed during 2015 and 2016 years. A different reaction of sister forms to the influence of the external complex was revealed. Among the hybrids 88.1450s2 and 88.1450s3 only in the latter under the conditions of the SNAU meteorological conditions almost did not affect the manifestation of signs – the coefficient of variation was 8%. With a difference of 1 g, the average mass of commercial tubers in this hybrid in the SNAU and URSP in 2015 was revealed. As a result of the study, it was possible to identify hybrids with a stable expression of the indicator irrespective of the meteorological conditions (08.194/25), for trials for three years in the SNAU (88.1450s3), URSP (08.194/33,08.194/119) and experimental locations (90.673/30,08.194/23 and 08.194/25). They are recommended for use in the breeding process with high adaptability.

The territories and objects of the nature reserve fund are the important centers for the provision of services related to environmentally friendly tourism in the Sumy region. As of 01.01.2017, the nature reserve fund of the region has 263 territories and objects with a total (actual) area of 176.7 thousand hectares, of which the national value is 19 objects with an area of 50.5 thousand hectares (7.3 %), of local importance – 244 objects with an area of 126.2 thousand hectares (92.7 %). The ratio of the area of the NRF to the area of the oblast ("reserve index") is 7.41 %. The largest recreational and tourist potential has the three largest protected areas of Sumy Region: Desniansko-Starogutsky National Nature Park, Getmanski National Nature Park, and the Seymsky Regional Landscape Park. Involvement of territories and objects of the nature reserve fund in tourism activity should be carried out under strict observance of environmental legislation, defined protection regimes and norms regarding volumes, intensity of recreational loads. Such activities should complement the monitoring system research, including using new technologies based on geographic information systems (GIS). It is expedient and informative to use such resources as Google Maps, EARTH OBSERVING SYSTEM (EOS), Public cadastral maps of Ukraine, etc.

The application of these information-analytical technologies and the results of the space monitoring provides an assessment of the dynamics of the characteristics of the biotopes and the spatial distribution of such investigated integral environmental parameters as the shape and perimeter of the protected zone of the protected object and the processes of its seasonal and long-term successional changes.

Provided that a service network is created, tourist ecological routes with use of forest recreational ecosystems to the northeast of Sumy may be interesting. The introduction of information technologies into the system of natural protected areas will significantly affect the observance of the regime of protection of territories and objects of the ecological network and will allow to improve measures on environmental monitoring and background monitoring.

A promising area of geomonitoring is the creation of GIS-forms of natural-protected fund objects that combine the collection, storage, processing, access, display and distribution of spatial data, allows you to store, make changes, analyze and monitor their condition in a consistent manner. The exploitation of these databases with system monitoring of zoned and ordered complexes will allow to remove uncontrolled recreational loads for a significant part of natural groups and ensure their effective use on the basis of sustainable development.
