Banco de sementes em sistemas de produção de agricultura com queima e sem queima no município de Marapanim, Pará
Authors: Leal Eliane Constantinov , Vieira Ima Célia Guimarães , Kato Maria do Socorro Andrade
Published: February 2022

Na agricultura de corte e queima, a capoeira tem como papel principal a fertilização da terra após a queima de sua biomassa vegetal. Geralmente as repetidas queimadas acabam destruindo todas as formas de regeneração, incluindo o banco de sementes. Pensando nessa problemática, o Projeto Studies of Human Impact on Forests and Floodplains in the Tropics (SHIFT), no qual esta pesquisa se insere, após uma série de estudos básicos sobre as capoeiras da região Bragantina, vem desenvolvendo uma alternativa de produção agrícola em que a capoeira é usada como fonte de nutrientes e matéria orgânica para o solo em sistemas de produção de ‘agricultura sem queima’. O trabalho desenvolvido no município de Marapanim foi um experimento participativo, uma nova abordagem do projeto, onde as áreas foram definidas pelos agricultores. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o potencial do banco de sementes de áreas submetidas a diferentes práticas agrícolas, caracterizando qualitativa e quantitativamente sua composição florística. Foram testadas as hipóteses de que o fogo diminui o potencial do banco de sementes e cria condições favoráveis à regeneração de espécies invasoras herbáceas. A cobertura triturada minimiza os impactos provocados pela queima sobre a diversidade vegetal e aumenta a regeneração de espécies acumuladoras de biomassa. O potencial de germinação do banco de sementes nos tratamentos foi monitorado durante 270 dias. Nos tratamentos queima e cobertura triturada, foram avaliadas a densidade, riqueza de espécies, famílias e formas de vida predominantes. No banco de sementes antes do manejo do solo, a densidade média na queima foi de 284 indivíduos/m2 e na cobertura triturada 328 indivíduos/m2. Depois do manejo do solo na queima, foram encontrados em média 23 indivíduos/m2 e na cobertura triturada 139 indivíduos/m2. As espécies mais freqüentes nos dois momentos e nos dois tratamentos foram Borreria latifolia, Fimbristylis meliacea e Cyperus diffusus. As famílias Cyperaceae, Rubiaceae e Poaceae apareceram em alta frequência em todas as áreas e nos dois tratamentos. Além dessas, destacaram-se as famílias Euphorbiaceae, Melastomataceae, Malvaceae, Lamiaceae, Scrophulariaceae e Asteraceae. As formas de vida mais comuns encontradas nos tratamentos foram as ervas. Os diferentes tratamentos afetaram a abundância e riqueza florística, diminuindo o número de sementes de espécies arbóreas e arbustivas, acumuladoras de biomassa.
Caracterização química e aspectos geoquímicos relevantes da matéria orgânica de sedimentos em suspensão na foz do rio Amazonas
Authors: Pereira Simone Baía , De Lima Waterloo Napoleão , El-Robrini Maamar
Published: February 2022

As características geoambientais do rio Amazonas têm sido descritas por diversos pesquisadores, enfatizando a apreciável extensão de sua bacia de drenagem, a influência da floresta, da erosão, da sazonalidade, do considerável índice pluviométrico, do transporte de material em suspensão e da notável descarga (vazão) lançada para o oceano Atlântico. Este estudo, realizado no âmbito do Programa Recursos Vivos da Zona Econômica Exclusiva (REVIZEE), em amostras de sedimentos coletadas em águas costeiras do oceano Atlântico sob influência do rio Amazonas, durante o 2° cruzeiro científico da Operação Norte II, a bordo do navio oceanográfico Anatares, procede à caracterização química e discute aspectos geoquímicos relevantes da matéria orgânica de sedimentos de fundo e em suspensão na foz do grande rio. Observou-se que as concentrações mais elevadas de material em suspensão (máxima em 2300 mg/L) encontram-se em pontos de coleta próximos à costa e tendem a zero a offshore. A variação do teor da matéria orgânica associada a esse material em suspensão é relativamente restrita (mínimo em 1,91% e máximo em 3,53%). A identificação da natureza química da matéria orgânica indica a ocorrência de material húmico, associado muito provavelmente à drenagem de solos amazônicos característicos, como os podzóis e os latossolos, material esse transportado pelo rio Amazonas até as águas costeiras. Na caracterização química do material húmico, identificaram-se grupos metileno (que estão diretamente relacionados com hidrocarbonetos alifáticos), grupos C=O (de carboxilato e de cetonas) e de bandas devidas a argilominerais associados. O teor de matéria orgânica mostrouse sempre abaixo de 3,6%, exibindo valores de razão C/N variando de 9,64 (material em suspensão) a 68,3 (em sedimentos de fundo), de acordo com a maior ou menor influência de compostos orgânicos nitrogenados ou de maior ou menor período de maturação desse material orgânico. Nas amostras apresentando razão C/N mais elevadas, deve-se esperar uma origem em que dominem produtos da decomposição de celulose ou que estejam associadas a um período de maturação menos recente. O teor de fosfato presente no sedimento, variando de 0,06% a 0,78% (expressos em mg.L-1 de P), sugere influências do ambiente marinho (talvez envolvendo contribuições de P biogênico), através da ressuspensão de sedimentos, fato comum em ambientes estuarinos.
Osteologia e miologia cranianas de Eurypyga helias (Pallas, 1781) (Gruiformes: Eurypygidae) comparada com outros Gruiformes
Authors: Marceliano Maria Luiza Videira , Donatelli Reginaldo José , Posso Sérgio Roberto
Published: February 2022

O estudo da osteologia e da miologia do pavãozinho-do-pará pode dar uma idéia da possível relação entre os Eurypygidae e os demais Gruiformes. A análise foi realizada com base em 66 espécimes de aves pertencentes às famílias Aramidae (Aramus guarauna), Psophiidae (Psophia crepitans, Psophia leucoptera, Psophia viridis, Psophia viridis obscura), Rallidae (Laterallus exilis, Gallinula martinica), Heliornithidae (Heliornis fulica) e Eurypygidae (Eurypyga helias). As descrições osteológicas e miológicas detalhadas da espécie Eurypyga helias foram utilizadas como referencial para as comparações das diversas estruturas anatômicas com as espécies acima mencionadas. Quanto às estruturas osteológicas cranianas, os resultados mostraram que foi possível relacionar Eurypygidae aos demais grupos de Gruiformes, por meio das seguintes características comuns: palato esquizognato, ausência da sutura frontonasal, ausência do septo nasal, e pars symphysialis mandibulae com cerca de 1/5 do comprimento total do crânio. As características da osteologia craniana exclusivas de E. helias são: porção rostral do rostro paraesfenóide reduzida; processo descendente do lacrimal trifurcado; osso ectetmóide vestigial; processo paraoccipital mais desenvolvido; ausência da fossa subcondilar; processo maxilopalatino bem desenvolvido e em forma de ampola; processo dorsal do pterigóide bem desenvolvido; e o capitulum oticum duas vezes mais desenvolvido que o capitulum squamosum. E. helias compartilha com A. guarauna (Aramidae) a forma semelhante da mandíbula e do processo maxilopalatino, processos maxilar e frontal do nasal não fundidos entre si e rostroparaesfernóide relativamente curto. Quanto à musculatura que movimenta as maxilas, constatou-se uma relativa similaridade entre E. helias e G. martinica (Rallidae). De uma forma geral, a complexidade da musculatura craniana de E. helias em termos estruturais é intermediária entre P. viridis (mais complexa) e G. martinica (menos complexa). Os dados apresentados tornaram possível aproximar Eurypygidae e Aramidae, com base nas semelhanças observadas, embora não se possa afirmar neste trabalho se tais semelhanças refletem parentesco (sinapomorfias) entre estes dois grupos. Em suma, torna-se necessário uma investigação morfológica mais acurada, bem como estudos sistemáticos complementares da ordem Gruiformes para que seja possível inferir com mais segurança qualquer relacionamento entre os grupos que a compõem.
Osteologia e miologia cranianas de Megaxenops parnaguae (Furnariidae: Philydorinae)
Authors: Donatelli Reginaldo José , Marceliano Maria Luiza Videira
Published: February 2022

A osteologia do crânio e a musculatura que movimenta as maxilas de Megaxenops parnaguae foram estudadas e comparadas com a maioria dos gêneros e espécies de Furnariidae. Foram analisados 137 espécimens de Furnariidae, 13 de Dendrocolaptidae e 4 de Formicariidae. A osteologia craniana foi estudada em 144 espécimens, enquanto a musculatura que movimenta as maxilas em 10 espécimens. Megaxenops parnaguae apresentou o processo pósorbital menos desenvolvido e o mais curto rostroesfenóide; Megaxenops apresentou similaridades osteológicas cranianas principalmente com Philydor, Hyloctites e Automolus. Os Synallaxinae e os Philydorinae compartilharam uma característica: a sutura nasofrontal é limitada à porção mediana da maxila superior. Não foi observada qualquer característica compartilhada entre Philydorinae e Furnariinae. Em relação à musculatura que movimenta as maxilas, M. parnaguae mostrou similaridades com as duas espécies do gênero Philydor analisadas. Todavia, M. Parnaguae difere das demais espécies estudadas, pois apresenta três feixes no M. adductor mandibulae externus rostralis medialis e uma aponeurose de inserção (XIII) a mais no M. pterygoideus ventralis lateralis. Além disso, M. Parnaguae mostrou muitas diferenças nessa musculatura em relação às demais espécies analisadas.
Osteologia craniana de Geotrygon montana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Columbiformes: Columbidae) comparada com os Columbiformes do Novo Mundo
Authors: Marceliano Maria Luiza Videira , Donatelli Reginaldo José , Posso Sérgio Roberto
Published: February 2022

Estudos sobre a osteologia craniana dos Columbiformes são escassos na literatura. No que se refere a G. montana, não foram encontrados trabalhos desta natureza, sendo esta, provavelmente, a primeira descrição detalhada da anatomia craniana da espécie. Procurou-se, neste estudo, descrever a osteologia e a musculatura que movimenta as maxilas em G. montana e, com base nesta descrição, comparar com outras espécies de Columbiformes do Novo Mundo e ampliar o conhecimento anatômico nesta ordem, bem como identificar caracteres anatômicos para uma futura análise cladística.Estudou-se a osteologia craniana em 35 espécimes pertencentes a seis gêneros de Columbidae, abrangendo cerca de 70% dos gêneros de Columbiformes do Novo Mundo. Os resultados mostraram inúmeras diferenças relacionadas ao grau de desenvolvimento das estruturas entre as espécies analisadas, bem como algumas características peculiares a alguns táxons. Isso indica que a osteologia craniana dos Columbidae pode ser uma ferramenta das mais importantes para um estudo sistemático a posteriori.
Microhabitat utilization and population density of the lizard Gonatodes humeralis (Guichenot, 1855) (Reptilia: Squamata: Gekkonidae) in forest areas in Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil
Authors: Oda Welton Yudi
Published: February 2022

Gonatodes humeralis is a small lizard widely distributed in Amazonia and found on tree trunks. An increase in its abundance in deforested areas has been observed in several studies, although the factors causing this increase remain unknown. In this study, population density was estimated in forests in different stages of regeneration. Population densities and habitat characteristics were analyzed by multiple regression. This analysis showed that population density was positively related to the number of available trunks and negatively related to forest regeneration stage. Analysis of microhabitats used by G. humeralis was made to evaluate whether the species selects the tree trunks it uses. This selection has been reported for arboreal lizards, although only diameter was quantified. Comparison between the frequency distributions of used and available trunks showed that G. humeralis did not select trunks either by circumference or by canopy density. However, amount of leaf litter and trunk rugosity were used in different proportions relative to the available, suggesting that this species prefers trunks with intermediate rugosity and less leaf litter around it. This selection may be related to ease of movement between trees, while the selection of trunks with intermediate surface rugosity may be related both to lizard mobility and predator avoidance. Additional studies would show whether these patterns are also found in other populations
Distribuição temporal do mesozooplâncton no furo Muriá, Pará, Brasil
Authors: Leite Natália Da Rocha , Pereira Luci Cajueiro Carneiro , Costa Rauquírio Marinho da
Published: February 2022

As variações temporais da comunidade zooplanctônica e das variáveis físico-químicas da água do furo Muriá foram estudadas bimestralmente entre os meses de julho de 2003 (período seco) e janeiro de 2004 (período chuvoso). As coletas foram realizadas durante as marés vazantes de quadratura, no período diurno. As amostras foram obtidas por meio de arrastos horizontais, realizados com o auxílio de uma rede cônica de plâncton com 200 μm de abertura demalha. Simultaneamente, foram obtidas medidas in situ de temperatura, salinidade e pH por intermédio de uma sonda multiparâmetros. Adicionalmente, foram coletadas amostras de água para determinação, em laboratório, das concentrações de oxigênio dissolvido e do material particulado em suspensão. Verificou-se uma acentuada variação temporal da salinidade, com valores mais elevados registrados no período seco. Foram identificados 67 grupos taxonômicos, sendo o filo Arthropoda o mais representativo, com destaque para o copépodo Acartia tonsa Dana, 1849, o qual apresentou densidades mais elevadas durante o período chuvoso (valores médios superiores a 1.200 ind.m-3). No período seco, zoea de Brachyura foi o grupo mais abundante, apresentando elevados valores de densidade. A salinidade da água, condicionada pela pluviometria, constituiu o principal fator responsável pelas variações temporais do zooplâncton do furo Muriá.

Published: February 2022

É relatada a ocorrência de Tupinambis quadrilineatus Manzani & Abe, 1997 (Squamata: Teiidae) no bioma Amazônia, em vegetação de cerrado no sudeste do Pará, Brasil. Nesta região, estão localizados fragmentos de cerrado de grandes dimensões e situados fora do atual sistema de áreas protegidas do estado. T. quadrilineatus havia sido registrada somente nos estados de Goiás, Mato Grosso, Tocantins e Minas Gerais, no bioma Cerrado. Esse é o primeiro registro da espécie nos cerrados do bioma Amazônia e no estado do Pará. Esta descoberta reforça a ideia de que o conhecimento sobre a distribuição de espécies na Amazônia é ainda incompleto. Recomenda-se que novos inventários sejam priorizados para esta região e que partes dos fragmentos de cerrado situados no sudeste do estado sejam usadas para a criação de novas unidades de conservação.
Crescimento e sobrevivência de castanheira (Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl.) em diferentes condições ambientais na região do rio Trombetas, Oriximiná, Pará
Authors: Scoles Ricardo , Gribel Rogério , Klein Gilmar Nicolau
Published: February 2022

Este estudo analisa o crescimento e a sobrevivência da castanheira (Bertholletia excelsa, Lecythidaceae) em diferentes condições ambientais a partir de plantios experimentais na região do rio Trombetas. Foram plantadas 144 mudas num delineamento experimental com quatro repetições e três tratamentos ambientais de exposição à luz: roçados de mandioca (100% de abertura de dossel), capoeiras jovens (20-80%) e sub-bosque de castanhais (< 10%). Durante dois anos, a cada dois meses, mediram-se a altura e o diâmetro do colo de todas as plantas e anotaram-se as incidências de mortalidade e rebrota. Diferenças significativas no desempenho das mudas de castanheira foram observadas entre os três tratamentos, especialmente favorável ao de maior luminosidade. As mudas de roçado cresceram em altura 13 vezes mais do que as de capoeira e quase 30 vezes mais que as do castanhal. O crescimento em diâmetro das plantas no roçado foi 4,4 vezes maior do que na capoeira e 7,7 vezes maior do que no castanhal. Independente das condições luminosas, a castanheira mostrou alto índice de sobrevivência e capacidade de rebrota. Conclui-se que a castanheira se desenvolve melhor em condições de plena luminosidade, como áreas de roçado ou grandes clareiras florestais. Nas experiências de enriquecimento ou reflorestamento, deve-se limpar periodicamente ao redor das mudas, evitando sombreamentos da parte aérea, garantindo, assim, altas taxas de crescimento para as mesmas.
Regeneração de florestas tropicais
Authors: Chazdon Robin
Published: February 2022

Após distúrbios antropogênicos ou naturais de larga escala, a regeneração de florestas tropicais segue uma progressão de estágios por meio dos quais os estágios florestais gradualmente aumentam a riqueza de espécies e a complexidade estrutural e funcional. Trajetórias sucessionais e taxas de mudanças sofrem ampla variação conforme a natureza do uso anterior da terra, a proximidade da floresta primária e a disponibilidade de fauna dispersora de sementes. As florestas regenerantes rapidamente acumulam nutrientes e carbono na vegetação, na serapilheira e no solo, mas a recuperação da composição de espécies pode levar séculos. As florestas tropicais em regeneração fornecem recursos e serviços ecossistêmicos essenciais que sustentam milhões de pessoas que dependem delas. Nos casos em que houve degradação do solo e as fontes de sementes são limitadas, estratégias de reflorestamento podem iniciar a sucessão da floresta e expandir a cobertura florestal. O reflorestamento requer um alinhamento dos fatores socioeconômico, político e ecológico que conduzam a diferentes caminhos, e a qualidade do reflorestamento varia segundo a região geográfica.
Linking nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in litter production and decomposition during secondary forest succession in the eastern Amazon
Authors: Hayashi Sanae Nogueira , Vieira Ima Célia Guimarães , Carvalho Cláudio José Reis , Davidson Eric
Published: February 2022

Land-use change, including tropical deforestation for agriculture and subsequent agricultural abandonment, may change the stoichiometry of nutrient cycling in tropical secondary forests relative to mature forests. While phosphorus (P) is conservatively cycled in these mature forests, nitrogen (N) losses during an agricultural phase may provoke conservative N cycling processes in young secondary forests. Here we explore differences in nutrient cycling properties among secondary and mature forests of the eastern Amazon, including litter nutrient concentrations and rates of litter production and decomposition. In a chronosequence of successional forest age, N production in litterfall and N loss during litter decomposition were low in young forests but increased with increasing forest age, whereas P was conservatively cycled in all forest ages. Litter N concentration was positively correlated with the rate of mass loss in a litterbag study and with a mass balance estimate of litter decomposition based on annual litterfall and litter stock measurements. Therefore, while P is conservatively cycled and may limit or co-limit productivity in these forests, variation in N content of litter among forest successional stages may be related to differences in decomposition rates and mean residence times of litter, thus linking N availability with rates of litter decomposition and P cycling.

Contemporary trends, lifestyle, directions of thinking and acting in different areas of interest of people, are reflections of today’s literature. Therefore, literature as it is today, through its narrative, provides a true picture of social opportunities in a direct, concise and hyperrealistic way. Given the broader picture of society with all available means in terms of access to information, movement, global opportunities, thаn a complete profile of modern man can be made both as an individual and as a member of the planetary community of human society. The Renaissance period was marked by the advent of the printing press, and today it is an internet platform for accessing various topics and data, as is literature in its traditional form. By drawing a parallel between these two periods, we will look at the basic features of thought that influenced the culture of one as well as the culture of the other or modern period through the analytical-descriptive method.
GORAN SKROBONjA I DEN SIMONS: ČAS IMAGOLOGIJE
Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Mihailović Miloš D.
Published: February 2022

The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between Goran Skrobonja and Dаn Simmons’ works, as well as the way Anglo-American speculative fiction influenced Skrobonja. In order to do that, I compared two fiction works by these authors: Simmons’ novella Flashback from his colection Lovedeath (translated to Serbian by Skrobonja) and Skrobonja’s Tihi gradovi / Quiet Cities, one of the most renowned works of contemporary speculative fiction in Serbian literature. Suvin’s theory of science fiction and his term novum were used in order to draw parallels between these stories. In my analysis I have concluded that not only Skrobonja and Simmons use the same novum, but their stories also share a number of similari- ties, which suggest an intertextual relationship. Then, I conducted an imagological comparative analysis. First of all, I analysed the right-wing discourse which heavily influenced Simmon’s novella and foreshadowed author’s subsequent engagement in politics, thus ending his amiable correspondence with Skrobonja. Bearing that in mind, Tihi gradovi can be read as a negation of Flashback and Simmons’ poetics, as well as his right-wing world view. As a results, Tihi gradovi differ from the rest of Skrobonja’s work, primarily by defying the poetics of Anglo-American specula- tive fiction, which have heavily influenced Skrobonja for the most of his career. In this story, he has showed that his relationship towards his literary forefathers is not epigonal, but much more nuanced and sceptical. Thus, the wide recognition Tihi gradovi attained in contemporary literary criticism is recognized as justified, as this story is truly one of Skrobonja’s finest achievements.

A Creative Use of Distance Education to Meet Contemporary Problems of Students Career Aspiration: Implications for Strategic Planning
Authors: Gh Jeelani Bhat
Published: February 2022

Effective learning is directly related and dependent on the social and emotional well being of the learner. It is important to recognize that particular conditions which may arise within the social, economic and political environment in which the learner lives, and which impact negatively on the learner's social and emotional well-being, thus placing the learner at risk of learning breakdown. Such factors influence learners either positively or negatively. Distance education has failed to become integrated into the academic culture, not as a result of the commonly factors of cost and faculty resistance, but rather due to the insistence of distance educators on perpetuating a culture that is out of touch with the driving force of higher education. Effective distance education program demands the strategic planning should be made at all times. Such planning could be done well if challenges confronting learners on the program are identified and addressed. There is need for conducting research on distance education since it provides the empirical data which can be used for the development of the education and career aspiration of distance students. The study recommends that, in order to help boost students’ academic performance, Distance Education of the students should organize periodic career guidance seminars for students, to stimulate their career awareness, career aspiration and nurture their enthusiasm. This paper sets out to explore and provide an up-to-date picture of the challenges faced by distance education students in their quest to study. Among the challenges identified were - institutional, instructional, social, psychological, financial, Lack of Support, Feelings of Isolation, Technology, Interactivity and Commitment. In this paper the investigator also discuss the different challenges which were faced by distance learners. The paper also provides some valuable suggestions to overcome these challenges and provides some implications for future strategic planning for career aspiration.

Effects of acute ammonia exposure and post-exposure recovery on nonspecific immunity in Clam Cyclina sinensis
Authors: Ge Hongxing , Liu Jialing , Ni Qian , Wang Fei , Dong Zhiguo
Published: February 2022

This study aimed to assess the toxicity of ammonia on clam Cyclina sinensis and the post-exposure recovery. With increased exposure to TAN, the alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activities after exposure showed a trend of growing initially and subsequently decreasing, whereas the AKP activities after post-exposure recovery showed an increasing trend. The AKP activities after post-exposure recovery were significantly higher than those in control. The acid phosphatase (ACP) activities in T1 and T2 after post-exposure recovery were higher than those in the control, whereas the ACP activities in T3, T4, and T5 after post-exposure recovery were significantly higher than those in the control. The lysozyme (LZM) activities in T1 and T2 after exposure were significantly higher than those in control, whereas the LZM activities in T3, T4, and T5 after exposure were significantly lower than those in the control. Overall, ACP and LZM in the clams exposed to a low level of TAN (≤ 40 mg/L) can recover to the normal levels completely. However, a 48h recovery period scarcely seems adequate to compensate for AKP, ACP, and LZM activities in the clams exposed to a high level of TAN (> 40 mg/L).

Published: February 2022

Mount Banahaw, an active volcano and a watershed tn the municipality of Dolores, Quezon province, Philippines, is also a considered a sacred place. This study discussed the community outcomes arising from the conceptual dichotomy of perceptions of multi-use of water by formal organizations such as water districts for domestic use and by informal organizations such as the religious groups for the sacred or religious use of water from the sacred mountain; and the negotiations among these different actors and agents for water access.

Authors:   Petroleum Training Institute, Effurun, Egede Frank
Published: February 2022

The 1993 production sharing contract (PSC) in Nigeria specifies different royalty rates for oil and gas investment. The royalty rates were fixed. This makes the fiscal arrangement to be regressive in nature. Royalty rate of 20% is to be paid for onshore investment using the 1993 PSC. Hence, there is a need to make the fiscal arrangement progressive. The delayed royalty framework was incorporated into the1993 PSC as a progressive measure to make it dynamic. Two economic models were developed using spreadsheet technique to evaluate the impact of the delayed royalty framework on onshore petroleum investment. The 1993 PSC fiscal framework was used to develop the economic models. The delayed royalty framework was incorporated into one of the models. The delay in royalty payment hinged on the payout period of the investment. It was observed that the delayed royalty framework increased the contractor’s revenue during the period of low oil price. Thus, increasing the sustainability of the investment during period of low oil price.

Modern conditions of functioning of industrial enterprises associated with a high degree of market competitiveness, market conditions, necessitate the improvement of production process management in order to optimize production, reduce production losses and increase labor productivity. The prompt and effective solution of these tasks is possible through the use of artificial intelligence, which allows not only to collect, analyze and structure production information, but also to increase the effectiveness of people’s work, improve the quality of manufactured products, and increase the efficiency of the enterprise as a whole. In turn, the implementation of the lean manufacturing concept at the enterprise can be carried out with great success with the widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies. The purpose of this article is to determine the range of tasks that can be solved using artificial intelligence in the implementation of the principles of thrift. At the same time, artificial intelligence is considered as an additional tool in the tool kit of lean manufacturing, enhancing the resulting effect. As a result of the study, the tasks to which artificial intelligence technologies are involved in the framework of the well-known lean production tools are identified. The article notes that the idea of continuous improvement occupies a central place in the philosophy of lean manufacturing. It is about focusing on constant change. Readiness for changes in the enterprise should be maintained constantly, so that when there is an opportunity for improvement, appropriate measures can be implemented. This possibility can be determined in a timely manner using AI tools. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that artificial intelligence technologies, regardless of their size and the production technologies used, incorporated into the processes of thrift, allow to obtain a synergistic effect that affects the functioning of the entire enterprise.

Authors: Devterova N. I.
Published: February 2022

The influence of the use of fertilizer doses at different intensity of tillage on the yield and quality of green feed based on winter barley varieties Romance, Kondrat, Dobrynya, Carioca was studied. The research was carried out in 2018-2020 in the Republic of Adygea on low-humus heavy-duty heavy-clay merged leached chernozems according to the method of field experience of B.A. Dospekhov. It was revealed that disking reduced the productivity of the green mass of various varieties of winter barley by 14,0–41,0%; the average yield for both processing methods varied from 5,75 to 11,2 t/ha. It was found that the most effective method of cultivation was the introduction of 60 kg of d.v. N by background, by both methods of processing, but plowing options are preferable in terms of yield. The use of this method of cultivation allowed to obtain the highest level of yield on these options for all studied varieties: Romance 15,3 t/ha, Dobrynya 14,6 t/ha, Kondrat 14,2 t/ha, Carioca 7,4 t/ha (on average for both methods of processing). The nutrient content in 1 kg of dry matter of feed varied from 8,02 to 11,0% crude protein; 11,1–11,74 MJ of exchange energy; 1,04–1,14 KE. The green mass of the Kondrat, Carioca, Romance varieties is classified as low- and medium-protein feeds, however, in terms of the content of feed units and exchange energy, all varieties are Class I feeds. The studied varieties contain an average of 0,42 to 0,605 EQ of cattle (energy feed units) in 1 kg of natural feed. According to the qualitative indicators in 1 kg of dry matter of feed, as well as the content of EKE in 1 kg of natural feed, the advantage belongs to the Dobrynya variety. The best variety in terms of yield, as well as nutritional and energy value for harvesting from 1 ha is the Romance variety.

Authors: Mikhailyuk М. N.
Published: February 2022

The social and economic development of the country directly depends on the level of financial literacy of the population. The general picture of the country’s economic development is influenced by the attitude of the population to borrowed funds, the financial responsibility of citizens, and the principles of family budget allocation and the nature of consumer behavior. The low level of knowledge of the population in matters of financial literacy leads to the loss of funds of both individuals and legal entities, as well as to the emergence of panic in the financial services market. Currently, pre-retirees are one of the rather important social groups of the population of the Russian Federation, since most continue their work even after retirement. Pre-retirees make a significant contribution to the development of intellectual potential, are an example for the younger generation. In this regard, there is a need not only for financial education, but also for retraining or professional retraining of the older generation. The purpose of this article is to study modern basic tools for improving financial literacy of pre-retirees and to develop recommendations for people of pre-retirement age on the formation and practical use of skills in the field of financial literacy. The following methods of scientific cognition are used in the work: abstraction, analysis, induction, synthesis. The article substantiates the relevance of the study. The importance of financial literacy for the well-being of people is substantiated. The concept of financial literacy, the characteristics of the main tools for improving the financial literacy of pre-retirees used in practice were given. The experience of organizing programs to improve financial literacy and professional retraining programs for pre-retirees was considered and the recommendations on how people of pre-retirement age to form and practically use skills in the field of financial literacy were given.

Kadın Öğretmenlerde Ruminasyon İle Çözüm Odaklı Düşünme Arasındaki İlişkide Psikolojik Esnekliğin Aracı Rolü
Authors: YAŞAR Sümeyra , AYDOĞDU Fuat
Published: February 2022

Bu araştırmada kadın öğretmenlerde ruminasyon ile çözüm odaklı düşünme arasındaki ilişkide psikolojik esnekliğin aracı rolünü incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’na bağlı okullarda görev yapan 307 kadın öğretmen oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama araçları olarak Psikolojik Esneklik Ölçeği, Ruminatif Düşünce Biçimi Ölçeği ve Çözüm Odaklı Envanter kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada ruminasyon bağımsız değişken, çözüm odaklı düşünme bağımlı değişken, psikolojik esneklik ise aracı değişken olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu araştırma, değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin varlığının ve derecesinin incelendiği ilişkisel tarama desenine göre tasarlanmıştır. Aracılık analizleri ise regresyon temelli bootstrapping işlemi esas alınarak yapılmıştır. Yapılan aracılık analizinde doğrudan etkiler incelendiğinde, ruminasyonun psikolojik esnekliği ve çözüm odaklı düşünmeyi yordadığı görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte psikolojik esnekliğin de çözüm odaklı düşünmeyi yordadığı bulunmuştur. Dolaylı etki incelendiğinde ise aracı değişken olan psikolojik esnekliğin modele dâhil edilmesiyle ruminasyon ile çözüm odaklı düşünme arasındaki yol katsayısının anlamlılık düzeyinde azalma olduğu diğer bir deyişle, psikolojik esnekliğin ruminasyon ile çözüm odaklı düşünme arasındaki ilişkide kısmi aracı role sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda kadın öğretmenlerde ruminasyonun, çözüm odaklı düşünme üzerindeki olumsuz etkisinin psikolojik esneklik aracılığıyla azaltılabileceği söylenebilir.
