Goal. Expanding the breeding trait collection of breeding genotypes of the genus Miscanthus (Anderson) and the genetic basis for new allotriploid clones by transferring components for hybridization of natural wild species Miscanthus sinensis and Miscanthus sacchariflorus to the tetraploid level.

Methods. Cytological, biotechnological, fluorescent cytphotometry, field, laboratory.

Results. The efficiency of polyploidisation for induction of new tetraploid forms of miscanthus in liquid nutrient media supplemented with colchicine (0.05% mass) and for stabilization of myxoploid shoots (0.005% mass) for 6 h of cultivation is examined. The period of exposure for Miscanthus sinensis (2x=2x= 38) and Miscanthus sacchariflorus (2x = 2x = 38) varied from 2 hours to 3 days depending on the genetic origin of the material, with transfer to a hormonal environment. The best indicators of tetraploid induction for Miscanthus sinensis were observed for the exposure period of 2 days with polyploidization efficiency (Db%) of 31.25% and 21.42%, and for Miscanthus sacchariflorus 2 and 6 hours with 35.0% and 27.3%, respectively. The technology of transfering rooted shoots into the soil on the Yaltushkiv Eperimental Breeding Farm was improved and the composition of the soil mixture that provided 99% rooting of culture seedlings at a humidity of 60−70% and air temperature of 35−55°С was found.

Conclusions. New biotechnological tetraploid lines of Miscanthus sinensis (2xn=4x=76) and Miscanthus sacchariflorus (2xn=4x=76) were created in the conditions of liquid nutrient media supplemented with colchicine (0.05 % mass). It is investigated that flowering of new tetraploid clones in the conditions of Ukraine for the second year of vegetation occurs from late September to early October with formation of fertile pollen grains.
The role of the «Sugar Beet» magazine in popularization of agricultural energy crops and technologies of their processing for biofuel (1997–2018)
Authors: Yaholnyk O. O. , Yaholnyk O. H.
Published: November 2021

Introduction. Ukraine in the Russian Empire and in Soviet times, as you know, occupied a leading position in the production of beets and sugar. But until 1997, Ukrainian beet growers did not have their own professional Ukrainian-language print publication, although there was an urgent need for it. The industry journal Sugar Beet, which, in fact, became the first communication platform in Ukraine for the implementation of production-scientific and educational-explanatory functions related to the development of beet-growing and bioenergy, was founded in 1997. Sugar Beet was one of the first journals in independent Ukraine in 1998 to be included in the List of Professional Scientific Publications of Ukraine Recommended for the Publication of the Main Results of Doctoral and Candidate's Dissertations in the Department of Agricultural Sciences. The key place in the columns of the publication was occupied not only by sugar beets (Beta vulgaris), but also by the coverage of research work related to the launch of the process of moving some dual-application crops in the research fields and research laboratories of the institute located on Batyi Hill, and some new and until recently little-known for Ukraine so-called ‘energy’ crops (sugar sorghum, miscanthus, switchgrass, Sudan grass, salix, etc.), in special bioenergy plantations to obtain biomass and process it into various types of energy, which later stimulated and, in fact, symbolized a breakthrough in terms of forming a new independent bioenergy (phytoenergy) industry in Ukraine. 1076 original research and production articles were published in the columns, the authors of which are not only scientists and practitioners of the crop industry, but creators of high-yielding varieties in Ukraine and abroad – in Russia, Kazakhstan, Germany, Switzerland, Belarus and others. countries; At the same time, each 5–6 articles published under the headings such as Non-traitional Crops, Biotechnology, Breeding and Genetics, Agrotechnology or Bioenergy directly or indirectly covers the problems of development of so-called special ‘energy’ plants. A section on world and domestic trends in the development of renewable and non-traditional energy sources has found a permanent residence on the pages of the journal.

Conclusion. The study shows that one of the oldest scientific and production editions – Sugar Beet – has played an important and timeless role not only in the development of the beet and sugar industry, but also in the history of bioenergy. Its issues are still available online on the official website of the IBCSB (see journal.sugarbeet.gov.ua.).

Suitable dose of mutagen in mutational breeding play a key role in developing a new mutant. Every plant’s seed have different number of chromosome, time duration of S phase, and morphology of seed like size of seed, seed coat and biochemical composition of seed. On the basis of these characters different type of seeds require different wavelength of gamma rays and different concentration of EMS for inducing mutation in mutational breeding. The present work on successive dose of Gamma irradiation and EMS for Glycine max (Soybean) and Brassica juncea (Indian mustard) helps to select correct doses of mutagen for the suitable crop.

ABSTRACT

The number of cases or disputes in the field of land, one of which is due to the existence of multiple certificates, in which this problem can be caused by good ethics and good ethics. This is because land has a close relationship with humans, both for housing and for business. Therefore, the law requires the owner of land rights to register their land, so that they have legal guarantees and guarantees of their rights. Double certificates occur in the case of land being abandoned by a certified owner, for a period of more than 20 years so that the land grows with a thicket, which is then controlled by someone else in good faith for more than 20 years, then the person increases his right of ownership. This is justified by law because the person has controlled the land for more than 20 years, in addition, because the land has been neglected for more than 20 years, the right to annul the land is controlled by the State.

Keywords: BPN/ATR, Solution, Double Certificate

Abstrak. Banyaknya kasus/sengketa dibidang pertanahan, yang salah satunya adalah karena adanya sertifikat ganda, yang mana masalah ini dapat dikarenakan etikat tidak baik maupun etikat baik. Hal ini dikarenakan bahwa tanah mempunyai hubungan yang erat dengan manusia, baik untuk tempat tinggal maupun untuk berusaha. Oleh karenanya Undang- Undang mewajibkan sipemilik hak atas tanah untuk mendaftarkan tanahnya, agar mempunyai jaminan hukum dan jaminan haknya. Sertifikat ganda terjadi dalam hal tanah ditelantarkan oleh pemiliknya yang sudah bersertifikat, dalam jangka waktu lebih dari 20 tahun sehingga tanah tersebut tumbuh semak belukat, yang kemudian dikuasai oleh orang lain dengan itikat baik selama lebih dari 20 tahun, kemudian orang tersebut meningkatkan haknya menjadi hak milik.Hal ini dibenarkan oleh undang-undang karena org tersebut telah menguasai tanah tersebut selama lebih dari 20 tahun, selain itu karena tanah tersebut ditelntarkan selama lebih Dri 20 tahun, maka haknya hapus tanah dikuasai oleh Negara.

Unlocking weather observations from the Societas Meteorologica Palatina (1781–1792)

Published: November 2021

Abstract. In recent years, instrumental observations have become increasingly important in climate research, allowing past daily-to-decadal climate variability and weather extremes to be explored in greater detail. The 18th century saw the formation of several short-lived meteorological networks of which the one organised by the Societas Meteorologica Palatina is arguably the most well known. This network stood out as one of the few that efficiently managed to control its members, integrating, refining, and publishing measurements taken from numerous stations around Europe and beyond. Although much has been written about the network in both history, science, and individual prominent series used for climatological studies, the actual measurements have not yet been digitised and published in extenso. This paper represents an important step towards filling this perceived gap in research. Here, we provide an inventory listing the availability of observed variables for the 37 stations that belonged to the society's network and discuss their historical context. Most of these observations have been digitised, and a considerable fraction has been converted and formatted. In this paper, we focus on the temperature and pressure measurements, which have been corrected and homogenised. We then demonstrate their potential for climate research by analysing two cases of extreme weather. The recovered series will have wide applications and could contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms behind climatic variations and extremes as well as the societal reactions to adverse weather. Even the shorter series could be ingested into reanalyses and improve the quality of large-scale reconstructions.
Trivial improvements in predictive skill due to direct reconstruction of the global carbon cycle
Authors: Spring Aaron , Dunkl István , Li Hongmei , Brovkin Victor , Ilyina Tatiana
Published: November 2021

Abstract. State-of-the art climate prediction systems have recently included a carbon component. While physical-state variables are assimilated in reconstruction
simulations, land and ocean biogeochemical state variables adjust to the state acquired through this assimilation indirectly instead of being
assimilated themselves. In the absence of comprehensive biogeochemical reanalysis products, such an approach is pragmatic. Here we evaluate a potential
advantage of having perfect carbon cycle observational products to be used for direct carbon cycle reconstruction. Within an idealized perfect-model framework, we reconstruct a 50-year target period from a control simulation. We nudge variables from this target
onto arbitrary initial conditions, mimicking an assimilation simulation generating initial conditions for hindcast experiments of prediction
systems. Interested in the ability to reconstruct global atmospheric CO2, we focus on the global carbon cycle reconstruction performance
and predictive skill. We find that indirect carbon cycle reconstruction through physical fields reproduces the target variations. While reproducing the large-scale
variations, nudging introduces systematic regional biases in the physical-state variables to which biogeochemical cycles react very
sensitively. Initial conditions in the oceanic carbon cycle are sufficiently well reconstructed indirectly. Direct reconstruction slightly improves
initial conditions. Indirect reconstruction of global terrestrial carbon cycle initial conditions are also sufficiently well reconstructed by the
physics reconstruction alone. Direct reconstruction negligibly improves air–land CO2 flux. Atmospheric CO2 is indirectly very well
reconstructed. Direct reconstruction of the marine and terrestrial carbon cycles slightly improves reconstruction while establishing
persistent biases. We find improvements in global carbon cycle predictive skill from direct reconstruction compared to indirect
reconstruction. After correcting for mean bias, indirect and direct reconstruction both predict the target similarly well and only moderately worse
than perfect initialization after the first lead year. Our perfect-model study shows that indirect carbon cycle reconstruction yields satisfying initial conditions for global CO2 flux and
atmospheric CO2. Direct carbon cycle reconstruction adds little improvement to the global carbon cycle because imperfect reconstruction
of the physical climate state impedes better biogeochemical reconstruction. These minor improvements in initial conditions yield little improvement
in initialized perfect-model predictive skill. We label these minor improvements due to direct carbon cycle reconstruction “trivial”, as mean
bias reduction yields similar improvements. As reconstruction biases in real-world prediction systems are likely stronger, our results add
confidence to the current practice of indirect reconstruction in carbon cycle prediction systems.
On the effects of inter-farm interactions at the offshore wind farm Alpha Ventus
Authors: Pettas Vasilis , Kretschmer Matthias , Clifton Andrew , Cheng Po Wen
Published: November 2021

Abstract. The energy transition means that more and more wind farms are being built in
favorable offshore sites like the North Sea. The wind farms affect each other
as they interact with the boundary layer flow. This phenomenon is a topic of
current research by the industry and academia as it can have significant
technical and financial impacts. In the present study, we use data from the
Alpha Ventus wind farm site to investigate the effects of inter-farm
interactions. Alpha Ventus is the first offshore German wind farm located in
the North Sea with a fully equipped measurement platform, FINO1, in the near
vicinity. We look at the effects on the wind conditions measured at FINO1
before and after the beginning of operation of the neighboring farms. We show
how measured quantities like turbulence intensity, wind speed distributions,
and wind shear are evolving from the period when the park was operating alone
in the area to the period when farms were built and operate in close
proximity (1.4–15 km). Moreover, we show how the wind turbine's
response in terms of loads and generator and pitch activity is affected using
data from a turbine that is in the vicinity of the mast. The results show the
wake effects in the directions influenced by the wind farms according to their
distance with increased turbulence intensity, reduced wind speeds, and
increased structural loading.

The Relationship of Psychological Resilience and Jealousy in Adults
Authors: Faraji Haydeh , Boran Nilgün Berfu
Published: November 2021

Psychological resilience is defined as an individual's ability to positively adjust and adapt to adversity, difficulty, misfortune, or potentially traumatic event to maintain mental health. Psychological resilience is an innate personality trait and a process of positive adaptation when becoming face to face with adversity which can emerge at different life stages depending on the situation. Jealousy is a powerful emotion defined as a negative feeling that arises when an difficulty which includes perceiving a threat from someone else to a valued relationship. This complex emotion, which contains the feelings of anxiety and fear in his heart, is felt as a result of a damage or loss that may occur due to the physical or fantasy existence of a third person who is seen as a rival in bilateral relations. Feelings of anxiety and fear, which are among the most basic contents of jealousy, are clear signs that the individual does not adapt to the situation they face. In this respect, the main hypothesis of our study is that there is an inverse relationship between resilience and jealousy in young adulthood. The research of the study, which was conducted online in 2021, consists of 188 female (75.2%), 62 are male (24.8%), in total 250 volunteers who’s age are between 18-45 (mean age of the sample is 29) who lives in Istanbul. The findings of our study showed that there is an inverse relationship between resilience and jealousy. Keywords: adulthood, pscyhological resilience, jealousy

Published: November 2021

Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, is situated in a region rich in thermal waters, which were a major factor for the establishment and development of the city. The thermal spring in the city center of Sofia has been in use since ancient times. As the city expanded rapidly in the 19th and 20th centuries, it absorbed many other sources of thermal water. In addition, the available volume of usable thermal water increased with the construction of abstraction wells. The prevailing types of thermal waters are sourced from Mesozoic rocks at the base of the Sofia graben. The water temperatures are in the range between 21 °C and 54 °C, and the mineralization is up to approximately 1 g/L total dissolved solids (TDS). There is only one source in deeper rock formations with approximately 4 g/L TDS. The population of the city utilizes the thermal water resources to a various degree, mainly for bottling of natural mineral water. Some sources are used for balneology, sport, recreation and sanitation; however, their potential is not sufficiently utilized. Considering the importance of the thermal water resources for the city and its population, a numerical model was set up to study the impact of subway construction on the thermal spring in the center of Sofia.

Soil solarization is increasingly used to control soil-borne pathogens because it is environment-friendly. However, performance varied geographically, necessitating experimental trials before its introduction. This study assessed the effects of solarization on soil-borne bacteria and fungi, growth, and proximate composition of Amaranthus viridis (African spinach) in Lagos, Nigeria. Two raised beds were solarized for six weeks with a transparent and black polyethylene sheet, and a non-solarized (control) bed was equally made. The vegetable seeds were planted and their growths were recorded for four weeks. Soil samples at 15-20cm deep and leaves were obtained for microbiological and proximate analysis, respectively. The mean temperature of transparent xxpolyethylene’s soil was 45.33 oC, black polyethylene (35 oC), and non-solarized (33.50 oC). The mean height and width of transparent polyethylene’s A. viridis were 24 and 3cm, black polyethylene (19 and 2.2 cm), and non-solarized (17 and 1.6cm). The transparent polyethylene’s soil had 3100 and 250 cfu/g bacterial and fungal colonies, black polyethylene (3200 and 1900 cfu/g), and non-solarized (37000 and 1900 cfu/g), respectively. The proximate contents of the transparent polyethylene’s A. viridis were (70 moisture, 10 ash, 4.24 protein, 1.45 fat and 9.94 % fibre), black polyethylene (73.35 moisture, 8.36 ash, 3.1% protein, 1.23 fat, and 6.77 % fibre), and non-solarized (76.09 moisture, 5.91 protein, 3.15 ash, 1.31 fat and 6.75 % fibre). Overall, statistical differences (p ≤ 0.05) existed between the solarized and non-solarized and between transparent and black polyethylene (transparent>black>non-solarized). Thus, solarization could be an effective strategy for controlling soil-borne bacteria and fungi of A. viridis in the area studied.

L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser l’effet de la pression communautaire sur la performance globale des PME du secteur informel ivoirien. Dans cette étude exploratoire, il s’agit d’une part, d’identifier les dimensions ou composantes de la pression communautaire les mieux adaptées au contexte de notre étude vu que le concept est multidimensionnel et d’autre part, d’analyser l’attitude de l’entrepreneur face à cette pression des groupes sociaux et les effets potentiels sur la performance des PME. Les entretiens semi-directifs conduits auprès de 30 chefs d’entreprise du secteur informel indiquent que l’entrepreneur subit des pressions émanant des membres de sa famille, de son village et de sa communauté religieuse. Les résultats révèlent également que cette pression communautaire se manifeste sous forme de sollicitations financières, professionnelles et sociales, et que 86,67% des interviewés y apportent des réponses favorables à cause de considérations culturelles, traditionnelles et sociologiques. De même, les enquêtés soutiennent que ces pressions communautaires ont d’une manière ou d’une autre une incidence sur les performances de leurs entreprises car elles les contraignent à des actes de gestion souvent contraires aux principes des bonnes règles de management.

Authors: Логинова Диана Васильевна
Published: November 2021

В статье рассматривается история становления и развития легкового и грузового извозного промысла в России в XIX – нач. ХХ вв. На основании широкого комплекса опубликованных источников изучаются этапы карьерных возможностей легковых извозчиков, их преображение от «ванек» до «лихачей», представлявшее собой значительное испытание, которое выдерживали не все, а также становление ломового извоза (имевшего в разных краях иные названия), особенности тяжелого в прямом смысле этого слова труда. Также исследуются особенности различных типов повозок, применявшихся легковыми и грузовыми извозчиками. Названия некоторых грузовых повозок стали синонимичными с именем ломовых извозчиков, такие как «ерандачники», «дрогали», «биндюжники». Развитие городского извозного промысла оказало большое влияние на формирование городской культуры, а также способствовало многочисленному упоминанию извозчиков, «легковых» и «ломовых», в литературных произведениях, энциклопедических словарях. Результатом проведенного исследования стала реконструкция карьерного сценария и профессионального облика легковых и грузовых извозчиков России.

Published: November 2021

В статье выявлена взаимосвязь между необходимостью ускоренного промышленного развития Российской Федерации и обеспечением национальной безопасности страны. При этом драйвером государственной промышленной политики рассмотрены институты развития, включая индустриальные (промышленные) парки, способствующие реиндустриализации и новой индустриализации российских территорий. На примере макрорегиона ЦФО авторами предложены авторские типологии субъектов Российской Федерации по степени промышленного развития и функционирующих индустриальных (промышленных) парков в территориях. Было установлено, что наличие индустриальных (промышленных) парков, являющихся инструментами реализации стратегических целей промышленной политики в 17 областях ЦФО, воздействует на ряд важных тенденций. Во-первых, на приостановку процесса деиндустриализации в депрессивных субъектах Российской Федерации. Во-вторых, на устойчивую и последовательную реиндустриализацию регионов-середняков, проявляющуюся в появлении новых производств и в модернизации старых. В-третьих, на создание ряда инновационных производств в рамках пятого и шестого технологических укладов в регионах-лидерах ЦФО, свидетельствующих о реализации стратегии новой индустриализации.
