Nowadays the problem of oak forests degradation is topical today in the Republic of Tatarstan, where large woods are formed and are considered to be the most valuable. The area of oak plantations decreases every year due to damage caused by frosts in 1978–1979, therefore, with the oak dying, the areas of aspen, linden and birch plantations increase. The oak forests regeneration is connected with the cultivation of healthy planting material in the nurseries of the region. The article is devoted to the study of the fungicide «Azorro, KS» efficiency in the cultivation of common oak seedlings in open and protected ground conditions. The research was carried out at the experimental site of the Faculty of Forestry and Ecology of the Kazan State Agrarian University. In the course of the research, a phytopathological analysis of acorns was carried out, the degree of infection with pests and diseases, safety by the end of the growing season was determined; biometric indicators of common oak seedlings were measured. The following types of fungi have been found such as Penicillium, Mucor and Rhizopus. The positive effect of the drug used on the growth and development of seedlings in open and protected ground was noted. The highest common oak seedlings were noted in protected ground using a fungicide — 21,0 cm, in open ground the average height was 11,0 cm. The preparation showed its highest efficiency in protected ground — 92 %. High efficiency in the open ground after the third treatment was 90 %.

Authors:   BMSTU (Mytishchi branch), Ivankin A.N.
Published: February 2023

Proteins in the form of biopolymer compounds are the basic components of all objects of natural origin. Hydrolysis of the protein components of plant materials is the main mechanism of biochemical degradation of biomass in nature. The article presents a comparative analysis of data on the composition of protein-bound and free amino acids of objects of plant and other origin. The purpose of the work was to consider the possibility of transformation of protein systems under the influence of enzymes and chemical reagents, leading to the sequential breakdown of protein macrocomplexes to peptides and further to free amino acids. A method of acid hydrolysis of hard protein raw materials is described, which allows almost completely, with a yield of more than 95 %, to degrade the protein structure at a temperature of 105 °C and a hydromodulus of 1:4 in the presence of a 6M solution of hydrochloric or sulfuric acids for 24 hours. the composition of the resulting acid hydrolysates. The possibility of chemical degradation of protein structures in the presence of weak organic acids such as lactic and citric acids is discussed. It has been shown that the resulting product in this case may contain up to a third of free amino acids, as well as 25...35 % of short peptides. Disadvantages of chemical degradation of protein structures due to the possible racemization of free amino acids released during protein hydrolysis in the presence of strong mineral acids and bases are discussed. The possibilities of biochemical defragmentation of plant proteins under the influence of enzymes are discussed. It has been shown that the enzymatic processing of proteins can be carried out with an efficiency of 65...85 % at low temperatures of 30...50 °C for 4...6 h with an enzyme-substrate ratio of 1:10 to 1:100, depending on the activity of the enzyme type and its hydrolase activity. The article presents a brief overview of the features of obtaining protein hydrolysates and compares the kinetics of protein hydrolysis under the influence of enzyme systems, as well as mineral and organic acids. It is concluded that the chemical and biodegradation of plant protein raw materials is promising for obtaining useful components of nutritional systems.

In high power industrial drive use the multi modular converter for high voltage dc transmission system. The reduction of switching frequency, reduce thermal stress and harmonic distortion in the output of the converter by using the modular converter. Synchronous optimal pulse width modulation (SOP) is a developing low gadget exchanging recurrence regulation system for high power converters, which keeps up the nature of converter output current. SOP system has been effectively exhibited for established multilevel topologies and it has been demonstrated that greatest gadget exchanging recurrence can be restricted to evaluated principal recurrence for seven or larger amount inverters without trading off on the nature of yield streams. Be that as it may, execution of SOP procedure for MMC topology is as yet pending. One of the primary difficulties for control of MMC is to keep up drifting capacitor voltages around their ostensible esteem. The objective of our investigation is to propose, break down and actualize improved SOP strategy for MMCs to accomplish low device exchanging recurrence operation, better quality of converter output current and keep up capacitor voltages around their perceived value.
The Role of Isostasy in the Evolution and Architecture of Fold and Thrust Belts
Authors: Ibrahim Youseph , Rey Patrice F.
Published: February 2023

Warmer conditions prevalent in the hinterland of orogenic systems facilitate local ductile flow underneath the surface load, making Airy-like local isostasy more prevalent in these domains. In contrast, flexural isostasy better describes the regional response to surface loading of more rigid lithospheres. Here, we explore how the interaction between horizontal tectonic mass transfer and vertical isostatic mass transfer, through either elastic flexure or viscous flow, impacts the overall architecture of fold and thrust belts. We compare numerical models of fold and thrust belts under either an Airy-like ductile isostasy boundary condition or a flexural-like regional isostasy boundary condition. Our experiments suggest that when ductile flow is involved in accommodating isostatic adjustment, subsidence is rather local, larger, and results in narrower, less elevated fold-thrust belts with a complex internal architecture consisting of prominent steeply dipping faults. When isostatic subsidence is controlled by lithospheric flexure, the tilting of the basement on 10 s of km scale facilitates the outward propagation of fold-thrust belts. The internal architecture is simpler and involves prominent basement-parallel décollements. The outcome is wider fold and thrust belts with higher topographies. A change in lithospheric elastic thickness does not significantly affect fold-thrust belt structural styles. Our results are compared to natural examples from the Subandean zone.

Da Gruppenarbeit die Kompetenz- und Qualifikationsentwicklung bei Lernenden fördern kann, wird sie zur Stärkung beruflicher Handlungs-, Personal- und Methodenkompetenz eingesetzt. Die zunehmende Digitalisierung bringt jedoch Herausforderungen für Gruppenarbeit im Online-Format mit sich. Zurzeit werden für deren Umsetzung häufig Videokonferenztools verwendet. Dabei steigt mit der Entwicklung von Consumer-freundlicher VR-Hardware das Interesse an Virtual Reality (VR) in der Bildung, da Motivation und Engagement der Lernenden gesteigert werden können, ressourcenschonende Lehre möglich ist und seltene oder gefährliche Situationen beliebig oft wiederholt und eingeübt werden können. Trotz der Vorteile, die das Lernen mit VR mit sich bringt, wird das Medium in der Lehre selten verwendet. Gründe dafür könnten die aufwendige Einarbeitung in die noch neue Technologie sein sowie die Einbindung ins Curriculum ohne eine etablierte didaktische Grundlage mitzudenken. Um die Einbindung zu erleichtern, soll in diesem Beitrag ein Implementierungsbeispiel für eine Mehrpersonen-VR-Anwendung vorgestellt und Ergebnisse einer ersten Erprobung im hochschulischen Lehrkontext aufgeführt werden. Die Anwendung wurde verwendet, um Pflege-Studierenden eine Möglichkeit zur multiperspektivischen Besprechung eines Fallbeispiels zu geben. Während das Feedback der Studierenden zur Nutzung der Anwendung überwiegend positiv ausfiel, zeigt der erhöhte Implementierungsaufwand die Notwendigkeit eines Implementierungs- und (Fach)-Didaktik-Konzeptes, um den Aufwand für den Einsatz von VR in der Lehre zu minimieren.

Published: February 2023

The liver is one of the most essential organs in the body, as it regulates a variety of physiological functions. It plays a role in metabolism, secretion, storage and among other things. It has a high ability for detoxication and the creation of beneficial principles. A nutritious meal is essential for developing tissue and cells, however nowadays people avoid eating healthy meals in favor of fast food to save time and money. This junk food is jam-packed with pollutants like phthalates that are bad for the body, as well as excessive amounts of sugar, salt and trans-fat. Numerous metabolic illnesses and systemic issues like obesity, diabetes and liver disease are caused by them. This type of meal or cuisine is referred to as Viruddha Aahara in Ayurveda. Viruddh Aahara, when consumed in excess, agitates the Doshas at their locations and remains in the body, blocking channels (Strotoavrodha). This block prevents nutrients from reaching the Dhatus (tissue) and many Dhatujanya Vikara develop as a result. As a result, hepatotoxic chemicals' injury to the liver has serious consequences. Toxic substances, excessive alcohol intake, virus infections, medicines such as paracetamol, antibiotics and autoimmune disorders are the main causes of liver damage. Taking the all the above facts in consideration the selection of the study has been done.

Introduction: Rakta is regarded as one of the Pranayatana (sit of vitality) and is required to be maintained properly to sustain the life and the homeostatic state of the body. In Charaka Samhita, Sutrasthana, Acharya Charaka has described the various aspect of Rakta in a separate chapter namely - Vidhishonitiya Adhyaya (chapter no. 24). As result of intake of different factors which are responsible for Raktadusti, different kind of diseases occurred in our body known as Raktaja Roga. Hypothyroidism is a pathological condition caused by hypo-functioning of thyroid gland. Thyroid gland synthesizes and secrets two major hormones, known as 3,5,3’ –triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxin, which can sometimes be referred to as 3,5,3’,5’ – tetraiodothyronine (T4). These hormones are necessary for thermo-genic and metabolic homeostasis in adult. Hormonal output from thyroid gland is mediated by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) secreted by anterior pituitary. In hypothyroidism, there is decreased level of T3 & T4 along with elevated level of TSH in circulating blood. As consequence of Raktadusti, the pathological conditions which are mentioned as Raktaja Roga by Acharya Charaka are combination of independent disease as well as sign and symptoms. Among them many identical features are also found in hypothyroidism. Aim: The present study was carried out to evaluate clinical features of Raktadusti & Raktaja Roga in hypothyroidism along with to evaluate the efficacy of the stipulated Raktadusti Nashak therapeutic procedure to combat hypothyroidism. Materials and Methods: In selected 35 patients of hypothyroidism having the Raktadusti Lakshan based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, selected Raktadusti Nashak Chikitsa (combining Shodhana and Shamana therapy) was administered for 60 days.  Result: The subjective parameters for Raktadusti are clinically present in a maximum number of hypothyroidism patients. The result also reveals the significant efficacy of Shodhana (Virechana by Trivrit) and Shamana (Phalatrikadi Kashayam) Chikitsa on relevant subjective and objective parameters with a 'p-value <0.001 in majority of subjective and objective parameters. Conclusion: The features of Raktadusti and Raktaja Roga can be clinically verified in patients of hypothyroidism. Thus it can be said that, Raktadusti has a definite role to play in pathogenesis of hypothyroidism. Rakta should be regarded as one of the main Dushya in hypothyroidism. The patients suffering from hypothyroidism can be treated with the therapeutic procedure responsible to combat Raktadusti.
