Abstract. This work is dedicated to analyzing and improving document processing methods in the electronic document management environment, particularly methods of preserving the integrity and authenticity of documents and their automated generation. The focus is on document assembly and reassembly processes. The research is based on extensive experience with electronic document management systems and utilizes publicly available information on the latest methods and practices of processing, protecting, and generating documents for general use. During the literature review, an analysis of modern document management systems was conducted and a consideration of the manual document processing approach.

The review part of the work aimed to familiarize with existing implementations of electronic document management systems and to develop their comparative characteristics, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, such electronic document management systems as "DIA", "PandaDoc", and "GoogleDocs" were examined by the author. As a result of analyzing the current state of the issue in the field of automated and manual document processing, a technological chain of a specialized automated document management system was developed. Document assembly and reassembly mechanisms were designed and described, along with other processes accompanying this technological chain. The purpose of the technical part of this work is a detailed examination of the critical mechanisms of a specialized automated document management system and their overall interaction at the client-server level. In conclusion, the scientific novelty lies in improving the technological chain of a specialized automated document management system through software tools for document assembly and reassembly. During the research, an analytical description of software tools for document assembly and reassembly was proposed, considering the possibility of automated document generation.

Fast DC charging sites are required along motorways to abrogate the car drivers' anxiety of long-distance travels when driving electric vehicles (EVs) with batteries optimised for efficient average reach. This is important to facilitate the mobility transition to EVs. In this study, a queueing model-based approach to simulate and evaluate fast charging sites equipped with many DC charging points is presented. Charging sites are modelled as multi-server queueing systems with finite waiting space, where the servers represent the charging points and the waiting space the parking area available for EVs waiting for service. To evaluate also arrival and service time distributions that are non-Markovian, the queueing system is evaluated using event based simulation. Exemplary results and a comparison with analogous simulation tools complete the presentation of the simulation approach.

On one hand, the simulation reveals the mean potential waiting time per EV before charging can start due to the temporary occupation of all charging points. On the other hand, the tool analyses the aggregated power demand of all charging points. Based on latter, the smart charging mechanism reduces dynamically the individually available charging power if needed to stay below the power grid access limit. This smart charging mechanism causes a small decline in the charging performance at high EV traffic loads when all charging points are maximally occupied. In combination with the state-of-charge depending power demand, the tool provides the user critical insights into realistically expectable waiting times and decreased charging volumes when many EVs charge in parallel. Experimenting with different number of charging points and grid power limitations helps the tool-user, the systems designer, to dimension charging sites along motorways that can efficiently handle future traffic loads

For decades, Clifford Geertz inspired and provoked controversy with his insistence that ethnography primarily involved the construction of text. His concept of ‘thick description’ was employed to train undergraduates in the basics of participant observation. Works and Lives (1988) became de rigeur reading in graduate seminars in both methodology and the history of anthropology. Senior anthropologists liked to agree that Geertz took the parallels too far and that he should never have strayed so far from his own early empirical work. Geertz's message was amplified and reduplicated into a ‘literary turn’.
Rites of Passage and Configurations of Proper Sociality
Authors: Trifuljesko Sonja , Lehtiniemi Tuukka
Published: January 2025

This article examines the implications of digitalisation for the already existing forms of sociality. To do that, we turn to an ethnographic study we conducted remotely in the spring of 2020, which focuses on the online doctoral defences arranged in Finland during the first COVID-19 lockdown. Drawing on participant observation and interviews, we argue that the mechanisms for evaluating online defences are the same ones that govern defences in the offline sphere. They consist of discursive and material practices through which what is considered to be a proper doctoral defence as an academic rite of passage takes shape. We advocate for paying attention to the valuing arrangements of social relations exposed by the move from offline to online across various scales and spheres of social life.
Digital Collectives
Authors: Rudningen Gudrun
Published: January 2025

For decades, digitalisation in the news industry has altered boundaries for journalism: Not only the boundaries towards the public, but also the social boundaries between news workers in editorial offices. Based on nearly a year of fieldwork and ten years of ethnographic work in a Norwegian newsroom, this study explores how digital collectives are continuously negotiated and enacted through trust relations in the interplay between digital technology and sociality. By unpacking how digital technology and digital data contributes to reestablish, reshape, and rearrange boundaries of journalism in the era of digital transition, this article shows a shift from altered digital collectives in the newsroom to digital collectives including the public through trust in digital data. Since digital ways of performing journalism hold potential for maintenance and alteration of what is private and shared, negotiation of social boundaries is important for mediating and upholding trust, harmony, and professional autonomy in news work.
Les femmes dans les maquis français de la Seconde Guerre mondiale
Authors: Balu Raphaële
Published: January 2025

Despite their inherently transgressive dimension, neither the French Resistance nor its maquis groups challenged the assimilation of virile and warlike qualities in force during World War Two. While historiography has extensively studied the assistance functions assigned to female members of the Resistance, a number of questions remain. Why did the maquis groups “virilize” warfare with as much application as regular armies? What circumstances, on the contrary, led to exceptions to this rule, and with what consequences? Through the portraits of some of the women who joined the maquis, or even took up arms, this article examines gender assignments and the fate of women who transgressed them—bringing to light power structures that the resistance itself was not yet ready to question.

Malgré leur dimension par essence transgressive, ni la résistance intérieure française ni ses maquis n'ont remis en question l'assimilation entre qualités viriles et qualités guerrières en vigueur durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Si l'historiographie a largement étudié les fonctions d'assistance dès lors dévolues aux résistantes, plusieurs interrogations demeurent. Pourquoi la lutte armée maquisarde a-t-elle “virilisé” la guerre avec autant d'application que les armées régulières? Quelles circonstances mènent au contraire à déroger à cette règle, et avec quelles conséquences? À travers le portrait de quelques femmes ayant rejoint les maquis, voire y ayant pris les armes, cet article interroge les assignations de genre et le sort de celles qui les ont transgressées—mettant au jour des structures de pouvoir que la résistance elle-même n'est alors pas prête à interroger.
AS DORES QUE SÃO DURAS: UMA PERPESCTIVA MULTIFATORIAL SOBRE O SUÍCIDIO

Yellow September, by focusing on specific actions and visual campaigns, ignores structural causes of the increase in suicide rates, such as poor access to mental health, lack of investment in professionals and the absence of a necessary support network. Furthermore, the campaign can be criticized for focusing excessively on the individual aspect of suicide, without giving due attention to the social and systemic factors that influence it, such as inequality, poverty, social exclusion and failed public policies. The emphasis on a single month of awareness-raising minimizes the need for continuous and long-term intervention, which includes prevention on different fronts and the provision of sustained support throughout the year. The general objective of this research is to analyze the gaps between the intentions of Yellow September and the practical results observed, focusing on how the stigma about suicide and mental health persists in different social groups. The methodology adopted in this work uses the deductive method, which tests the validity of theories and formulates hypotheses for analysis, and is exploratory, aiming to provide an initial understanding of the problem. The technical procedure is bibliographic research, based on previously published sources such as articles, books and dissertations. The approach is qualitative, focused on the interpretation of social and human phenomena, ideal for exploring complex and cultural issues that cannot be quantified. As a result, more than 800,000 people die due to suicide every year and it is the second leading cause of death in young people aged 15 to 29. In Brazil, between 1996 and 2016, Brazil recorded 183,484 deaths by suicide, representing an increase of 69.6% in that period. According to data from DATASUS, in 2018, 12,733 deaths by suicide were recorded in the country, which corresponds to a rate of 6.1 suicides per 100,000 inhabitants, resulting in approximately 35 deaths per day. Therefore, the conclusion revealed that, despite advances in public debate and visibility of the topic, there are still significant gaps in the implementation of ongoing preventive policies, as well as gaps in the academic training of health professionals, especially with regard to addressing death and suicide. In addition, misinformation and stigma still constitute major obstacles to the advancement of effective public policies and to breaking taboos surrounding suicide.

The Master of Ceremony (MC) or Host is a figure who plays a central role in directing an event or activity with professionalism and skill in providing entertainment(Meifiliana, 2021). The presence of an MC is inseparable from various events, ranging from formal ones to sacred moments such as the 17th of August Ceremony. As the controller of the event's flow, the MC is responsible for ensuring that every aspect runs according to the schedule set either by themselves or by the event organizers. The MC also ensures that the message conveyed is well received by the audience (Meylina, 2022). This community service activity was held at SMA Negeri 2, Siak Hulu District, Kampar Regency. The purpose of this activity is to provide deep understanding, training, and practical experience for students to become competent and professional MCs in facing the 17th of August Ceremony. It is hoped that the results of this research will make a significant contribution to the development of students' knowledge and understanding regarding the role and skills of an MC, as well as open up broad career opportunities in the professional world in the future.

Use of strain Pseudomonas sp. OBA 2.4.1 for pre-sowing treatment of pea seeds (Pisum sativum L.) in the presence of heavy metals and glyphosphate
Authors: Khakimova L. R. , Chubukova O. V. , Vershinina Z. R.
Published: January 2025

The effect of the PGPB strain of bacteria Pseudomonas sp. was studied. OBA 2.4.1, resistant to NiCl2 (up to 3 mM), Pb(CH3COO)2 (up to 5 mM) and glyphosate (up to 8 mg/ml), on Pisum sativum L. plants at different concentrations of HMs and herbicide. It was found that the strain under study had a positive effect on the length of the roots of pea plant seedlings in the presence of HM, which indicates an increase in the plant’s resistance to stress caused by exposure to nickel and lead. However, this effect was not recorded in the experimental version with the addition of glyphosate, which confirmed its high toxicity. The results obtained indicate that the strain Pseudomonas sp. OBA 2.4.1 promoted the growth of Pisum sativum L. under stress exposure to nickel and lead, which can be used in the development of complex-action biological products intended both to protect agricultural plants from the effects of heavy metals and to reclaim contaminated soils.
Bacterial expression of CRM197: investigation and optimization of gene expression factors for effective production in E. coli.
Authors: Rogozhkin S. O. , Gerasimov A. S.
Published: January 2025

CRM197 (Cross Reacting Material 197) is an inactive form of C. diphtheriae exotoxin used as a carrier protein for the development and production of conjugated polysaccharide vaccines and immunotherapeutic drugs. However, the development of these research areas is not possible without an efficient and cost-effective technology to produce CRM197 of the proper quality. In this study, we developed a highly efficient method to produce recombinant CRM197 as a fusion with SUMO protein, yielding more than 3 grams per liter in form of the inclusion bodies. We examined the significant effect of expression vector type, heterologous gene expression conditions and cultivation on its solubility. Using a combination of reduced cultivation temperature and the promoter of the gene encoding the heat shock protein CspA, we achieved an increase in the solubility level of SUMO-CRM197 of more than 30%, with an overall biosynthesis level of more than 2 grams per liter. Coexpression of the target gene with the DsbC disulfide isomerase gene allowed us to obtain the target protein completely in the soluble state with a yield of more than 1.4 grams per liter. The results obtained may become the basis for the development of a promising domestic technology for the production of CRM197.

Temporal Feature Weaving for Neonatal Echocardiographic Viewpoint Video Classification
Authors: French Satchel , Zhu Faith , Jain Amish , Khan Naimul
Published: January 2025

Automated viewpoint classification in echocardiograms can help under-resourced clinics and hospitals in providing faster diagnosis and screening when expert technicians may not be available. We propose a novel approach towards echocardiographic viewpoint classification. We show that treating viewpoint classification as video classification rather than image classification yields advantage. We propose a CNN-GRU architecture with a novel temporal feature weaving method, which leverages both spatial and temporal information to yield a 4.33% increase in accuracy over baseline image classification while using only four consecutive frames. The proposed approach incurs minimal computational overhead. Additionally, we publish the Neonatal Echocardiogram Dataset (NED), a professionally-annotated dataset providing sixteen viewpoints and associated echocardipgraphy videos to encourage future work and development in this field.

The sensitivity of rice yields to weather variation in Colombia
Authors: Guzman-Finol Karelys , Lyons Angela C. , Dall’erba Sandy , Eiras-Barca Jorge
Published: January 2025

We estimate the effects of annual temperature and precipitation on rice yields in Colombia from 1987 to 2016. The analysis explores the degree of variation in response to climate changes across the country’s diverse topography. Since there are two growing seasons in Colombia, the effects of the weather conditions for these two seasons are independently investigated. Additionally, rice yields are projected for two periods (2046-2065 and 2081-2100) based on the RCP 4.5, 6.5, and 8.0 of future climate scenarios. We found a positive effect of rainfall and temperature on yields, although one variable attenuates the effect of the other. The early season temperature and the later season precipitation were the main drivers of the yield. Effects were larger in departments with higher altitudes. Projections show that temperature and precipitation changes will cause rice yields to increase by 10% over 2046-2065, and 2081-2100, with respect to the reference period 1987-2016.

This research aims to explore the relationship between education, poverty reduction, and income inequality. It investigates the pathways through which education can promote social mobility and reduce income inequality, as well as the extent to which education mediates the relationship between poverty and inequality. A qualitative research method using secondary data analysis is employed. Various sources, including academic articles, reports, and surveys, were reviewed to extract relevant information regarding education, poverty, and inequality. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns, trends, and correlations. The research findings highlight that education plays a crucial role in reducing poverty and income inequality. It serves as a vehicle for social mobility by providing individuals with skills, knowledge, and opportunities for upward economic mobility. Education is found to mediate the relationship between poverty and inequality by equipping individuals with the necessary tools to escape the poverty trap and access better job prospects and income levels. Socioeconomic factors significantly influence the impact of education on poverty and inequality. Disparities based on gender, ethnicity, and geographical location are reported, indicating the need for targeted interventions to ensure equal access to quality education.

Background and Aims The most important problems in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are hand tremors and manual dexterity. The present study aims to evaluate the effect of a Powerball training program on hand tremors and manual dexterity of older people with PD.
Methods In this quasi-experimental study, participants were 40 patients with PD referred to Rasool-e Akram Hospital in Tehran, Iran (mean age= 66.3±4.15 years). They were divided into two groups: Training (n=20) and control (n=20). After taking the pre-test assessments (the resting/postural tremor test and the Purdue pegboard test) for both groups, the training group performed Powerball training based on the defined protocol for 8 weeks, 3 times per week. Then, both groups underwent post-test assessments, and their data were compared and analyzed. The Shapiro–Wilk test was used to test the normality of data. The Wilcoxon test was used for within-group comparisons, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for between-group comparisons
Results For hand tremors, the data analysis results showed a significant decrease in the frequency of resting tremors in the training group (Z=-3.43). In the control group, no significant difference was observed after 8 weeks. Also, there was no significant difference in the frequency of postural tremor in any group. For manual dexterity, the results showed a significant difference between the training and control groups in all four subtests (preferred hand, non-preferred hand, both hands, and assemblies) (P<0.05).
Conclusion Training with Powerball can be effective in reducing hand tremors at rest and improving the manual dexterity of older patients with PD.

Background and Aims Physical factors and the appropriate interior design of rehabilitation centers can be effective in the quality of rehabilitation services for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study aims to investigate the interior design quality of rehabilitation centers in Iran for children with ASD to improve the quality of rehabilitation services for children.
Methods In this descriptive survey study, 32 occupational therapists from universities, hospitals, welfare organizations, and private clinics participated. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to assess the quality of architecture in rehabilitation centers in nine domains of space organization, space flexibility, security/safety, texture/materials/furniture, air conditioning, color, light, acoustics, and green space/view/landscape. Data analysis was performed in SPSS software, version 22 using the one-sample t-test. To rank the dimensions, Friedman's test was used.
Results The results of the t-test showed that only the design parameters of texture/materials/furniture, light, and green space/view/landscape had a significant on the quality of rehabilitation services. The ranking test results showed that the mean ranks for the space organization component was 3.72; for space flexibility, 3.95; for security/safety, 4.75; for texture/materials/furniture, 6.63; for air conditioning, 5.50; for color, 5.69; for light, 6.08; for acoustics, 6.45; and for green space/view/landscape, 2.23. Based on the chi-square test results (P< 0.05, χ2=75.863), there was a significant difference in the degree of desirability between the architecture components.
Conclusion The rehabilitation centers for children with ASD in Iran need to be improved in terms of space organization, space flexibility, security/safety, air conditioning, color, and acoustics. The design quality is desirable in terms of texture/materials/furniture and light. Regarding green space/view/landscape, their quality is undesirable.

Published: January 2025

Background and Aims Hyperlordosis is one of the deformities in the lumbar spine, which causes changes in the forward center of gravity and increases the movement of the pelvis. It also changes the stability of the trunk, lumbo-pelvic-hip core complex, and lower limbs. This study aims to compare the changes in the center of pressure (COP) and the time to stabilization (TTS) in male football players with and without hyperlordosis during a single-leg jump-landing task.
Methods This is a causal-comparative study with a cross-sectional design, conducted on 28 male football players (14 with hyperlordosis and 14 without hyperlordosis), with a mean age of 24±2.42 years, a mean height of 178±6.06 cm and a mean weight of 72±4.93 kg. First, the Sargent jump test was taken to determine their maximum vertical jump. Then, they were asked to jump with two legs and a half maximum vertical jumping height and land on the force plate with the dominant leg. The independent t-test analysis was used to analyze the data in SPSS software, version 23.
Results A significant difference in the COP fluctuations in the mediolateral (ML) direction (P=0.015), the maximum and minimum COP displacements in the ML direction (P=0.021, P=0.001), the TTS in the ML direction, and the total TTS (P=0.001), was observed between two groups, but no significant difference was found in the amount of COP variability in the anterior-posterior (AP) and ML directions, the amount of COP fluctuations in the AP direction, the minimum and maximum COP displacements in the AP direction, and the TTS in the AP and vertical directions (P>0.05).
Conclusion It seems that changes in the sagittal plane in the area of the lumbar spine and pelvis cause instability and loss of balance in the frontal plane in the lower limbs. Therefore, football players with hyperlordosis should pay more attention to the changes in the proximal region to prevent instability and injury in the lower limb.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of the scientific work was to determine the influence of Maxifort F1, Kaiser F1 and Emperador F1 rootstocks on growth, development, marketable yield and economic efficiency of growing tomato plants by grafting in winter greenhouses. Methods. General scientific, measuring, laboratory, statistical, analytical. The results. The research was conducted on the basis of Dniprovskyi TC LLC, in the period from 2021 to 2024, in winter block greenhouses. The effect of rootstock hybrids on tomato plants of the Merlis F1 hybrid was determined, namely, the plants were inoculated, the phenological phases of the plants were analyzed, the hypothesis of improving the plant's biometric indicators and increasing the dynamics of marketable yield due to inoculation was verified and confirmed. The effect of vaccination on the chemical composition of fruits was determined. The economic feasibility of plant vaccination was calculated. Observations were made on the resistance of vaccinated and non-vaccinated to various diseases. Conclusions. Grafting tomato plants onto rootstocks improves the biometric parameters of the plant, such as: the strength of plant growth, the number of flowering inflorescences and collected inflorescences from plants, the number and quality of leaves, increases the number and weight of fruits. Thanks to vaccination, we got an increase in marketable productivity in the first 40 days of fruiting at the level of 20%, and the total at the level of 10%. Due to the grafting of Merlis F1 hybrid tomato plants onto rootstocks, we obtained an increase in marketability at the level of 1.0%. During the research period, tomato plants were not affected by fungal and viral diseases, we attributed this to the wide range of resistance of the Merlis F1 hybrid and the studied rootstocks. Vaccination has a minor effect on the chemical composition of the fruits. The economic feasibility of carrying out such an element of technology as grafting plants on rootstocks was confirmed, this confirms the level of profitability at the level of 43.0-45.2%, which is 10.0-12.2% more than the option without grafting. But there are disadvantages in grafting plants onto rootstocks, namely; an increase in labor costs and the cost of growing seedlings, the period of growing seedlings increases

Interferon concentrations of 0.025, 0.050, 0.100, and 0.150% were tested. In almost all investigated variants, a stimulating effect was observed as manifested as improved biometric parameters of garlic plants. In particular, the plant height and the number of leaves were increased, boosting the photosynthetic activity. There was a significant rise in the yield (by 0.5-0.9 t/ha) attributed to the use of Interferon, with the yield 3.3 t/ha in the control. However, the maximum yield of 4.2 t/ha was harvested at the 0.100% Interferon. Conclusions. The data indicate the absence of symptoms of damage to the garlic seed plantation by viral diseases after foliar treatment with 0.100% Interferon. At the same time, there was an increase in basic biometric indicators and an increase in the yield by 26.3-27.3%, depending on the agent concentration.

Published: January 2025

Purpose. To evaluate the effects of biologicals on potato biometric parameters and yield in Central Ukraine. Methods. Field, laboratory/field, statistical. Results. An increase in the plants’ biometric parameters in potato cultivar (cv.) ‘Shchedryk’ depended on biological treatment of plants during the growing period: Humifriend 1.2 L/ha, HelpRost Ovochi 5.0 L/ha, and Organic Balance 1.0 L/ha. In cv. ‘Rudolph’, the biometric parameters were increased due to the application of HelpRost B 3.0 L/ha, Organic Balance 1.0 L/ha, and HelpRost Ovochi 5.0 L/ha. In order to increase the yield of cv. ‘Shchedryk’, it is recommended to use the following agents: Humifriend 1.2 L/ha, Organic Balance 1.0 L/ha, and HelpRost Ovochi 5.0 L/ha. For cv. ‘Rudolph’, it is recommended to use HelpRost B 3.0 L/ha, Azotophyt 0.8 L/ha, and Organic Balance 1.0 L/ha. The smallest Lewis factor of 0.9 in cv. ‘Shchedryk’ was noted when this cultivar was treated with Azotophyt. In cv. ‘Rudolph’, the Lewis factor was lower (1.1) when the biologicals (Humifriend, HelpRost Ovochi, HelpRost B) were applied. Conclusions. In 2022, the potato yield was affected by cultivar ´ biological interaction (the contribution of this factor was 42.0%); other components of the technology contributed less (34.0%). In 2023, the components had the greatest impact on the potato yield (46.0%); the contribution of the biologicals was slightly smaller (39.0%). There was a strong correlation (r = 0.81 - 0.90) between yield and tuber weight in outdoor-grown cv. ‘Shchedryk’ treated with the biologicals Organic Balance, HelpRost Ca, and HelpRost B. In cv. ‘Rudolph’, a strong correlation (r = 0.72 - 0.83) between yield and tuber diameter was obtained with the biologicals Organic Balance and HelpRost Cu.

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of growth regulators in technological schemes for sweet potato cultivation, their impact on tuber yield and quality under the conditions of the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Methods: The study was conducted using field and laboratory experiments, as well as computational and statistical calculations. Results: The use of growth regulators DG-16, DAC-6, DG-53 + DG-53A, and fertilizers with growth-stimulating properties such as Gros Cornerist + Gros Amino-Magnesium, Gros Cornerist + Ecoline Phosphite K-Amino significantly increased the number of leaves per sweet potato plant by 24.4–28.7%, stem thickness by 21.6–27.5%, the number of tubers per plant by 31.6–90.8%, and the average tuber weight by 13.0–20.9% relative to the background application of mineral fertilizers. Positive effects of growth regulators and fertilizers were noted on the chlorophyll content in sweet potato leaves (increase of 16.6–22.9% compared to the background), nitrogen content in leaves (excluding DAC-6 and humic fertilizer "Rich Soil," the increase was 9.4–14.3%), phosphorus content (by 9.1–22.7%), potassium content (by 7.8–12.2%), carotene content in leaves (by 13.5–19.3%), and increased antioxidant activity by 10.8–19.3%. Maximum impact on these indicators was provided by DG-16, DG-53 + DG-53A, Gros Cornerist + Ecoline Phosphite K-Amino, and Gros Cornerist + Gros Amino-Magnesium. Maximum yield increase was achieved using DG-16 (an increase of 5.6 t/ha or 36.6%), DG-53 + DG-53A (an increase of 5.7 t/ha or 37.2%), and Gros Cornerist + Ecoline Phosphite K-Amino (an increase of 5.8 t/ha or 37.9%). No significant impact on yield was observed with Timac Agro fertilizer. A positive impact of growth regulators and fertilizers on the biochemical composition of sweet potato tubers was established: Timac Agro fertilizer increased dry matter content (22.97%), DG-16, DAC-6, Gros Cornerist + Gros Amino-Magnesium, and Gros Cornerist + Ecoline Phosphite K-Amino increased vitamin C content (4.88–5.49 mg/100 g), Timac Agro and "Rich Soil" increased carotene content (8.47–9.72 mg/100 g), and DG-16 and Gros Cornerist + Ecoline Phosphite K-Amino increased starch content in tubers (15.28–15.86%). Discussion: The results confirm the effectiveness of growth regulators. Particular attention should be paid to adapting growth regulator application programs to specific growing conditions and crop varieties. Conclusions: The study confirms the potential of using growth regulators and fertilizers with growth-stimulating properties as an effective measure to enhance productivity and quality of sweet potato production under the conditions of the Left-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine.

Encapsulation of hydrophobic bioactive compounds represents a transformative approach in biotechnology for enhancing stability, bioavailability, and controlled release of these molecules. This review explores key aspects of hydrophobic bioactive compounds, including their types, properties, and applications across diverse fields such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics. Challenges associated with the stability and bioavailability of hydrophobic compounds, driven by their susceptibility to environmental factors like light, oxygen, and temperature, are critically analyzed. The potential of yeast cells, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as biocompatible and biodegradable encapsulation platforms is discussed in detail. The robust cell wall structure, composed of β-glucans, mannans, and chitin, provides a natural barrier that protects encapsulated substances from degradation while enabling the gradual release of active ingredients. Advanced encapsulation techniques, such as the use of polysaccharide coatings, microgels, and nanoparticles, are evaluated for their ability to enhance encapsulation efficacy and delivery efficiency. Moreover, the application of biopolymers and auxiliary substances to improve the protective capabilities of encapsulated systems is explored. Finally, cutting-edge analytical methods, including spectrophotometry and high-performance liquid chromatography, are presented for assessing stability, bioavailability, and release profiles of encapsulated compounds. This review underscores the significant potential of yeast cell encapsulation in addressing challenges in biotechnology, offering innovative solutions for sustainable and effective delivery systems.

Published: January 2025

The methods of molecular genetics and bioinformatics analysis of DNA nucleotide sequences are reliable and modern tools for studying the microbiome of various organisms, including the gut microorganisms of Apis mellifera. The creation of accessible software for processing and analyzing sequencing data is highly relevant, as existing commercial solutions are often too expensive for widespread use in academic settings. Available free software typically has significant functional limitations, preventing comprehensive analysis. Researchers are often forced to use a combination of different software tools, which not only reduces data processing efficiency but also significantly increases the risk of errors during analysis. The rapid advancement of research on the A. mellifera gut microbiota, combined with the lack of accessible analytical tools for processing sequencing data, underscores the importance of developing software that automates the entire analysis process. The implementation of such a tool would not only simplify and accelerate sequencing data processing but also make it more accessible to a broader range of researchers, fostering the development of microbiome studies in honeybees and other organisms. The aim of the study was to develop bioinformatics software for automating the processing and analysis of nucleotide sequence data of the 16S rRNA gene and ITS region, to validate its performance, and to conduct a comparative evaluation based on the results of studying the gut microorganisms of A. mellifera. As part of the work, yeasts were isolated from the gut of A. mellifera, and DNA was extracted from these microorganisms. Amplification and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and ITS region were performed. Based on the obtained data, specialized bioinformatics software was developed, integrating all the necessary tools for comprehensive sequencing data analysis. The developed software was successfully validated on the obtained sequencing data. To assess its effectiveness, a comparative analysis was conducted with the widely recognized Geneious software, confirming the competitiveness and reliability of the developed tool.
