A psychological network approach to engagement with climate change In Dutch youth
Authors: Sachisthal Maien S. M. , Zadelaar Jacqueline Nicole , Raijmakers Maartje Eusebia Josefa
Published: January 2024

Whether youth engage with climate change is determined by a variety of (psychological) constructs, such as their interest in the topic, perceived distance to climate change, their perceived self-efficacy concerning climate change mitigation as well as (self-reported) pro-environmental behavior. In the current study, we employed a psychometric network approach to map the relationships between psychological climate change-related constructs of 436 Dutch youth (16- to 24-year-olds), including a measure of actual behavioral engagement. Communities of positively related constructs formed within the network — meaning that someone experiencing higher levels of self-efficacy is also more hopeful in the light of climate change. Climate change knowledge only plays a peripheral role in the network. Self-efficacy was directly linked with behavioral engagement and was the most central (i.e., influential) construct, linking the different communities, making it a potential target for interventions aimed at stimulating climate change engagement.
Creating a city for all of us: a role for the Fediverse in archiving civic urban memory

Published: January 2024

Preprint revised version to Digital Society August 2024. /// Revision of paper changes: Single author Pen Lister (with formal agreement of T Norris); Major changes to focus, structure and content of the paper; Abstract completely revised; references list revised. //// ---Use version of record citation, for published version, Digital Society DOI 10.1007/s44206-024-00137-8---This paper attempts to build a case for adopting the model of the Fediverse to archive digital citizen-generated urban memory. Examining literature from several relevant fields of debate acts as a pragmatic foundation for reasoning to then outline potential core technical functionality for provision of such an archive, using the Mastodon app as an example. This ‘civic urban memory’ archive is considered as open, curated by citizens themselves and owned by them through civic public ownership in a context of technological sovereignty. Reflecting on issues of citizen self-moderation, the potential for opt-in archive posting and ‘pseudonymity’ may offer some mechanisms for fair and open moderation and privacy protection of such an archive. Conceptual backdrop for a civic urban memory archive is placed in current debates concerning civic technological platforms acting as a digital public good in a context of a techno-social contract for learning, with a co-constructed shared civic urban memory forming part of open incidental lifelong learning in a future learning city.

Authors:   Department of Agronomy, Taraba State University, Jalingo, Nigeria., Jandong E. A.
Published: January 2024

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the third most important cereal in the world and the second in Nigeria after rice in terms of cultivation and utilization. Five varieties (TZESR-W, SUWAN-1-SR, DMR-ESR-W, Mega maize and Local cultivar) were evaluated during the 2018 cropping season with the aim of assessing the agronomic and yield potentials in two locations (Jalingo and Yola) of the northern guinea savanna agro-ecology of the country. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. Seeds were sown on a plot size of 5 m x 5 m at a spacing of 75 cm x25 cm. Data collected on vegetative and yield parameters were analyzed using GENSTAT software and means were separated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at a 5% level of probability. Results from the study showed high variability among the varieties across locations in most traits studied. However, SUWAN-1-SR and DMR-ESR-W performed better in both locations with an average number of grains per cob of 443 and 483 in Jalingo and Yola, respectively and are recommended for cultivation by farmers. Mega maize was the lowest in most traits suggesting that it is not suitable for Jalingo and Yola locations. The local variety, used as a check performed better than mega maize and TZESR-W, comparing well to SUWAN-1-SR and DMR-ESR-W, the leading varieties in most parameters. The significant differences among the varieties can be harnessed for selective breeding.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Subarachnoid block (SAB) is the anesthesia of choice for lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries. The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare the onset, duration, recovery of neural blockade, hemodynamic changes and side effects of bupivacaine alone with fentanyl added to bupivacaine.Materials and methods: This cross sectional comparative study was conducted in Department of Anaesthesia at National Medical College in 82 patients from April 2023 to September 2023 . Patients of either sex as per American Society of Anaesesiologists, Physical Status I-II between age 20- 60 years were randomly allocated to one of two groups of 41 each.Results: This study showed that there was highly significant difference in the highest level of sensory block achieved between mthe two groups (p < 0.001 ) and motor blockade. Most of patients receiving bupivacaine alone (Group B) had achieved T6 dermatomal sensory level block and Bromage score of 4, while patients receiving fentanyl with bupivacaine (Group F) achieved T8 and also Bromage score of 3 respectively. The mean duration for highest sensory level in group F and group B was 7.76 and 9.66 minutes, respectively. The mean duration for 2 segment regression in group F and group B was 95.28 and 67.24 minutes respectively. Hypotension was significantly high in Group B.Conclusion: Fentanyl added to bupivacaine has an earlier onset of action, prolonged sensory analgesia but earlier motor recovery compared to bupivacaine alone but a comparatively lower sensory dermatomal level without complete motor blockade, adequate for surgical procedures.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Fractures of the humeral shaft account for roughly 3-5% of all fractures and result from direct and indirect trauma. Common mechanism for this fractures include fall on the motor vehicle accidents, fall on out stretched hand and direct loads to the arm. The shaft of humerus fracture is managed largely conservatively, but with the advent of new surgical techniques and implant options, less tolerance for acceptable deformity and functional deficits, more time consuming with conservative management, many surgeon are increasingly likely to consider surgical management. The aim of our study is to assess the functional outcome of dynamic compression plate in shaft of humerus fracture.Materials and Methods: This is a prospective observational study conductedm in department of orthopedic surgery, NMCTH, Birgunj among 45 patients from 17 years and above presenting with shaft of humerus fracture. The fracture was classified according to AO classification. The patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with dynamic compression plate and followed up at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks till the radiological union was achieved. American shoulder and elbow surgeon’s scoring system was used to assess the final outcome of the study.Results: 45 patients meeting inclusion criteria were included in the study, 3 patients lost follow up hence removed from study. Out of 42 patients, mean age of the patient was 31.95 years. Most of them 27(64.3%) were male. Predominant fracture was on left side 73.8% (31 patients). The study finding showed that 31(73.8%) sustained injury due to road traffic accidents. Majority of the fractures 32(76.20%) were in middle 1/3rd. Most of the patient had A3 type of fracture according to AO classification. The mean post-operative immobilization was 15 years. Forty one (97.61%) fracture united with one (2.39%) fracture going into non-union with mean time of 16.04 weeks. Thirty-seven (88.10%) patients has excellent range of motion of elbow and shoulder while 3(7.10%) had good and 2(4.8%) patient had poor functional outcome. The average ASES score obtained at 24 weeks  was 47.07.Conclusion: From our study, it is concluded that open reduction and internal fixation with DCP in shaft of humerus fracture provides excellent functional outcome.

Modern approaches to the organization of physical education in the sphere of information technologies taking into account the conditions of their professional activities
Authors: Zayka V.V.
Published: January 2024

The article presents a study of the scientific works of leading researchers on physical education in institutions of higher education, which allow us to assert its insufficient humanistic and professional orientation, confirm the absence of a scientifically based model of the system of physical education in the country as a whole and specifically in each institution of higher education in accordance with its training profile. It is shown that during the development of educational and work programs for students of higher education in accordance with modern technologies, specialists of physical education departments of higher education institutions need to take into account the specifics of a specific future profession, as well as the gender and individual characteristics of those who study in connection with the heterogeneity of the student contingent . At the same time, the professional activity of information technology specialists is characterized, in addition to the presence of important mental and personal qualities inherent in general professional activity, as well as the presence of individual skills for working on or with a computer, as well as specific conditions of study and work, which impose an additional imprint on the structure of special applied physical training of students of higher education.

It has been established that the issue of physical education of future information technology specialists is represented in the literature only by isolated studies, there are no centralized methodical instructions, recommendations, training manuals on issues of its organization in institutions of higher education. The attention of specialists was focused only on the study of the role of dexterity for the successful professional activity of specialists, and the importance of the mental characteristics of the development of the body of students of information specialties (attention, memory, etc.) during the performance of their professional duties was also shown. At the same time, there are no works aimed at researching the formation of motor skills and skills of a professional orientation in the process of physical education, taking into account the gender and the future specialty of an information technology specialist.

Published: January 2024

The educational process, among other important tasks, should be directed to the formation of digital competences of children and school youth, including in the process of sports and health activities, since information technologies open up wide opportunities for the introduction of new modern forms and methods in working with children and school youth.

The formation of digital competences of older teenagers in the process of sports and health activities is an integral part of the process of forming a mature personality, prepared for life, ready for self-analysis and self-realization, able to resist the unwanted effects of information flow and manipulation.

A methodological toolkit aimed at forming the digital competences of older teenagers in the process of sports and recreational activities can be: cloud services in education, Web 2.0 services, creation of presentations; conducting video lessons, online training; development of online travel; involvement of older teenagers in research and information projects aimed at popularizing a healthy lifestyle, expanding knowledge about physical culture and sports, hygiene, etc.; use of interactive tasks; conducting fitness battles and other activities.

The advantages of forming digital competences in the process of sports and health activities for older teenagers are: formation of critical and analytical thinking skills; popularization of a healthy lifestyle through the use of digital technologies; development of information literacy and data processing skills; development of search activity; development of cooperation and interaction skills; the opportunity to be involved in sports and health activities (increase one's own physical health indicators) in the online mode.
Formation of professional competence of future bachelors in the specialty physical culture and sport in the process of teaching the discipline “Culture of personal health”
Authors: Omelchuk O. , Bilyk V. , Ihnatenko S.
Published: January 2024

The authors of the article emphasize that in the modern period the problem of forming the professional competence of future bachelors capable of thinking creatively is a major challenge, to model the educational process, to be a generator and implementer of ideas, to introduce new technologies in the process of teaching and learning is relevant. Pedagogical science is currently searching for new approaches to teaching that would provide high theoretical and practical training, contributed to the orientation of the educational process towards the individual, creating favorable conditions for each student to achieve the level of knowledge possible and necessary for him/her. The article defines the concept of "professional competence" as an integrative formation based on key, general professional and professional competencies. Professional competence is a basic and system-forming concept and is considered as a system of knowledge, skills, abilities and personal qualities that correspond to the content of professional activity, and involves: a person's awareness of his or her aspirations for activity, needs, interests, desires and value orientations; motive for activity, understanding of his or her social role; self-assessment of personal qualities and properties as a future specialist (professional knowledge, skills, abilities); self-assessment of personal qualities as a future specialist; regulation of his or her professional development.

It is indicated that in order to modernize the educational process and to form the professional competence of future specialists at the Mykhailo Drahomanov Ukrainian State University, it was proposed to introduce a compulsory integrated discipline "Culture of Personal Health" as part of the cycle of general training for all bachelor's degree programs. The formation of professional competence of future bachelors, providing them with knowledge, skills and abilities is the result of the integration of all forms of educational activities.

It is noted that personal experience shows that in order to form the professional competence of future bachelors in the specialty physical culture and sport (human health and physical recreation) in the process of teaching the discipline ‘Culture of Personal Health’ it is necessary to create a combined educational environment in which the participants of the educational process will feel more comfortable; can become active participants in the educational process. It is important to stimulate the habit of self- study and search for new information in any way possible; to develop skills that provide the ability to continue to improve their professional level on their own.

Published: January 2024

This article highlights the indicators of the development of various types of balance in boys who play in the basketball section before and after the pedagogical experiment. The results of testing in the confirmatory experiment indicate the absence of a statistically significant difference between indicators of the development of various types of balance in the tested control and experimental groups (p>0.05). The time of maintaining balance in the control group (60.5±1.3 sec) is higher than in the experimental group (59.6±1.6 sec), but in both groups it corresponds to the rating "excellent". The magnitude of the range between the maximum and minimum values in the control group is smaller than in the experimental group (18.5 s versus 21.0 s). The median indicator in the control group (62.5 sec) is higher than in the experimental group (60.3 sec), and the mode is 67.0 sec and 69.0 sec, respectively. The indicators of dynamic balance of the basketball players of the control (8.6±0.2 sec) and experimental groups (8.7±0.2 sec) correspond to the "satisfactory" rating. The range of results in both groups is the same and is equal to 2.8 seconds. The median and mode are identical in both groups, which are 8.7 s and 8.0 s, respectively. The level of development of static-dynamic equilibrium of the control (45.0±0.9 c) and experimental groups (45.6±0.9 c) is rated as "good". The range of indicators in both groups is the same - 12.5 cm, and the median and mode indicators in the control and experimental groups are identical - 50.0 c. Repeated testing showed a significant improvement in the indicators of balance development in basketball players of the experimental group compared to the control group. Thus, the average statistical result of the development of static balance in the experimental group was 85.0±5.5 seconds (an increase of 42.6%), and in the CG it was only 63.3±2.1 seconds (an increase of 4.6%). The indicators of dynamic balance of basketball boys in the experimental group were 7.5±0.3 seconds (increase of 13.8%), and in the control group - 8.4 seconds (increase of 2.3%). The state of development of static-dynamic equilibrium improved in athletes of the experimental group by 25.9%, and in basketball players of the control group - by only 4.2%.

The use of experimental methods for the development of various types of balance in boys, who are engaged in the basketball section, contributes to a pronounced increase in their results.
PHENOLOGY OF THE AMUR REGION TITS SUPERSPECIES PARUS MAJOR IN THE CONTEXT OF HEIR RELATIONSHIPS IN THE ZONE OF SYMPATRY AND HYBRIDIZATION
Authors: Kapitonova L.V.
Published: January 2024

The paper considers the phenological parameters of the great tit (Parus major) and Japanese tit (Parus minor) in Priamurye. In the cohabitation zone of these species, there are places where pronounced hybridization occurs and the areas where it fades and stabilizes. This leads to the zone of sympatry subdivision into three main parts: western, central, and eastern. To understand the phenomenon of hybridization in these parts, its changes and differences, the phenological parameters of the eastern tit were studied and compared with those of the great tit. For the Japanese tit, the author has determined the dates of pre-spring migrations, flight and appearance at nesting sites, spring singing of males, the period of courtship and struggle for females, nest construction and egg laying, incubation of clutches, the appearance of chicks and fledglings, late broods, and also autumn migrations. It is given the data on this species wintering in Priamurye. The same indicators are compared with those for the great tit. It is revealed that the great tit males begin to sing early – from the end of December to the beginning of January, still in wintering groups. The aspects of behavior preceding direct reproduction: courtship of males for females, struggle between males for females, begging for food from males by females in already established pairs, are also manifested in great tits in wintering groups when there is not yet the Japanese tit main population at breeding sites. The spring flight and mass appearance of the Japanese tit at nesting sites occurs since March, and pairs form in nesting sites in April. However, the indicators of direct reproduction in these species coincide in time.
ROLE OF HYDROTHERMAL DYNAMICS FOR THE ORIGIN OF LIFE ON EARTH
Authors: Kompanichenko V.N.
Published: January 2024

In framework of the inversion concept one more required condition for the origin of life has been substantiated: multilevel fluctuations of physic-chemical parameters (in addition to the three accepted: availability of organic matter, aqueous medium, and source of energy). Taking this condition into consideration, hydrothermal systems were preferable medium for the origin of life on early Earth, in comparison with ocean. Hydrothermal environments are characterized by an extremely wide range of temperature, pressure, pH, and concentrations of components gradients. Multilevel fluctuations availability has been corroborated by means of thermodynamic estimations and direct measurements of pressure and temperature during the monitoring in some of the Kamchatka peninsula hydrothermal systems. The monitoring database mathematical processing reveals at least three levels of pressure fluctuations: 1) irregular macro fluctuations (with big amplitudes); 2) regular micro oscillations (with smaller amplitudes and periods about 20 minutes); 3) sudden pressure changes and fluctuations with periods lower than 5 minutes. High correlation between pressure, temperature, and concentrations of chemical components is also detected both in hydrothermal systems of Kamchatka and Slovenia. A lot of data on pressure and temperature dynamics in hydrothermal fluid, obtained by many researchers, can be applicable for investigation of the origin-of-life process.
STRUCTURAL AND AGGREGATE COMPOSITION OF DIFFERENT-AGED FALLOW DRAINED SOILS IN THE JEWISH AUTONOMOUS REGION
Authors: Averin D.E. , Zubarev V.A.
Published: January 2024

Involving new virgin soils in agricultural use requires huge capital investments and significant labor resources. The secondary return to agricultural use of fallow reclaimed lands not used in agriculture can become a less costly method of increasing the area of agricultural arable land. In the Middle Amur Lowland, the issues of environmental assessment of fallow drained soils, re-involved in agricultural use, remain poorly studied and practically there are no materials devoted to this issue. To study the ecological state of abandoned drained soils in the Jewish Autonomous region, the authors were carrying out a field research from July to September 2022. The studies showed that drained soils of agrocenoses after being out of agricultural use enter a complex process of self-healing. In fallow soils, the density of the top layer of soil decreases, which has a beneficial effect on the structure of the soil. With the fallow age increasing in drained meadow sod-gley soils, a decrease in the structure coefficient is observed to values close to the lower limit of “good” structure. In brown 20-year-old fallow mountain-forest soils it is observed a noticeable increase in the proportion of macro aggregates, including agronomically valuable ones, which indicates an improvement in the agronomic properties of fallow soils. The condition of the examined different age meadow gley soils deposits, which form the regional arable fund basis, makes it possible to classify them as suitable for agricultural use.
SPECIFICS OF THE BIROBIDZHAN ARCHITECTURAL I MAGE FORMATION (1928–1942): IDEAS AND REALITY
Authors: Stepanov K.K.
Published: January 2024

The so-called "Birobidzhan project" of the Amur region settling became one of the most significant pre-war state programs for the colonization of the sparsely populated border territories of the Russian Far East. The massive influx of settlers demanded increased attention to new settlements planning at the Jewish Autonomous region (organized in 1934), and primarily to its capital Birobidzhan. Building of the town, aimed to be the centre of a new ethnically determined subject from scratch, dictated specific conditions in the cultural aspect, urban planning and architecture. Thus, the present article makes an attempt to analyze the formation specifics of its planning structure. Having studied the first projects of the town's master plan and objects built in 1928–1942, the author defined directions of the local architecture development, its characteristics and features. The corpus of the 1930s archival materials allows us deepen our knowledge of the most significant processes in the regional design management and construction. The article also aims to reveal the reasons for the eventual failure of the initial architectural ideas. Along with this, the author provides the biographical data of key architects and engineers working in the field of design, construction and the town's urban economy decision-making. Clarifications have been made regarding the pre-war architectural heritage of Birobidzhan.
CHEMAL AS A CENTER OF ETHNOLOGICAL-CONFESSIONAL TOURISM IN THE ALTAI REPUBLIC
Authors: Tadina N.A.
Published: January 2024

The promising "Big Altai Program" is being developed in the south of Western Siberia. The concept of "Big Altai" covers the regions unique for tourism – Gorny Altai ( the Altai Republic) Rudny Altai (Altai Territory), Sayano-Altai (the Republic of Khakassia and the Republic of Tyva), Gobi Altai and Mongolian Altai (Mongolia). Based on the collected information, the development of ethnological-confessional tourism in the Altai Republic is highlighted by the author. In modern conditions of globalization, it takes place the unification and commercialization of ethnic culture of the Altaians (the titular ethnic group of the republic), Russians ( the ethnic majority of the region), and Kazakhs as a local large diaspora. In changing tendencies of the Russian society development, there is a belief that through ethnic tourism it is possible to return to ancient national traditions. For the local population and specialists involved in tourism services, it is an active factor of regional development, a source of employment. For the guests, ethnological-confessional tourism represents both an attractive sphere of communication and a direct entry into an unknown and little-known culture. According to the archival materials by the collector A.V.Anokhin, referring to the beginning of the last century and stored in the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) in St. Petersburg, the Altai regional tourism has a 100-year history. In the XIX century, the Altai Spiritual Mission was founded in the village of Chemal, which now-days has become the center of modern ethnological-confessional tourism in the region. In 2000, the Church of St. John the Theologian was restored on the Patmos rock near the Katun River, which became an Orthodox shrine that attracts tourists. The island of Patmos is associated with two priests by name of Makarius who served in the Chemal camp at different times. The locals called the island Makarievsky, since Father Makarius (Glukharev), the founder of the camp, was the first; and later, in 1916, there served Father Makarius (Nevsky). The history of the village of Chemal determined the restoration of Orthodox shrines, turning this village into a center of ethnological-confessional tourism in the Altai Republic.
DYNAMICS OF CATTLE BREEDING DEVELOPMENT IN THE JEWISH AUTONOMOUS REGION
Authors: Buzhor Y.I.
Published: January 2024

The article, based on an analysis of statistical indicators of livestock farming in the Jewish Autonomous region for 1990–2021, reveals negative dynamics in the development of the industry. When considering the cattle livestock, including pigs, sheep and goats, vertical and horizontal methods are used. They provide an objective assessment of the livestock industry dynamics. It is noted that in the 90s of the last century the region was a fairly large producer of agricultural products, providing both the region and other areas of the Russian Far East with agricultural products. Over the past few decades, agriculture in the region has undergone a significant decline, negatively affecting the economy of the region. It is determined that the cattle breeding development in the region, which needs capital intensity, suffers from the lack of large manufactures. The forage crops sown areas analysis also shows negative dynamics. And this is one of the leading reasons for the cattle livestock decline. It is substantiated that the population outflow from rural areas results in the decline of agricultural production. To the author, the predominant agricultural producers in the Jewish Autonomous region are households. It is noted that modern state support options aimed at the regional agriculture development are not efficient enough. For its rise and development, the branch needs large cattle breeding enterprises and participation of agricultural holdings in the production process.

Published: January 2024

In this article, a wind power plant with a horizontal axis of rotation operating under conditions of variable wind speeds is considered. For this purpose, a mock-up of a wind power plant with rotating combined blades was made. During the experiments, the angle of the fixed blade relative to the cylinder changed from 0° to 60°, in increments of 15 °. The air flow rate varied, from 3 to 12 m/s. The analysis of the results of the experiment on the change of the rotation frequency from the air flow velocity of the wind power plant is carried out. When changing the position of the fixed blade (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°) the value of the thrust force changes relative to the air flow in direct proportion. As the air flow velocity increases, the rotation frequency of the wind wheel increases linearly. It was found that when the fixed blade was positioned at an angle of 60 degrees, with a maximum air flow velocity of 12 m/s, the thrust force reached 2.06 N. Due to the combined use of two lifting forces, such as a cylinder and a fixed blade, increased thrust values are observed. The results obtained are useful when creating prototypes of a wind power plant with combined blades.

Consideration and analysis of diseases of wild bird species is complicated, especially those listed in the Red Book.

   This work aimed to identify the pathomorphological features of the manifestation of aspergillosis in the mute swan and to assess the impact of this disease on the microbiocenosis of the lungs and the morphological structure of organs without cavities.

   The scientific work was conducted at the Department of Anatomy and Physiology of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education of the State Agrarian University of the Northern Trans-Urals.

   The object of study was the internal organs of a mute swan delivered for a post-mortem autopsy to determine the cause of death of the bird.

   All internal organs were examined pathoanatomically, and morphometry was performed and carried out bacteriological and mycological studies of the lungs according to traditional methods in microbiological practice. Histological study of such internal organs as the liver, kidneys and spleen was carried out using the generally accepted method. As a result of the analyses, it was established that a characteristic feature of the pathomorphological manifestation of aspergillosis was a topical lesion of the respiratory system with the formation of multiple tumour-like foci of two types in the lungs anddestructive changes in the structure of the tissue of the liver, kidneys and spleen. Congestive venous hyperemia is expressed in all organs, which indicates chronic heart failure. In the liver and kidneys, there are pronounced signs of tissue necrosis, which is a sign of the toxic effects of this disease on the body. In the spleen of the mute swan, the growth of red pulp may indicate an increase in the functioning of the immune system in this pathology. Five types of microorganisms from different subkingdoms were isolated from the mute swan’s lungs. Taking into account the peculiarities of the development of pathological changes and the degree of priority of one or another type of microorganism in the formation of lung pathology in birds, it has been established that Aspergillus fumigatus is the leading pathogen in the development of pathological changes in the lungs of the mute swan.

To expand the production of topimanbur in the Russian Federation, it is necessary to develop adaptive cultivation technologies in various regions of the country. Field research was carried out on the territory of the educational and scientific experimental field of the Perm State Technical University. Three variants of the planting scheme were studied: 70x30, 70x40 and 70x50 cm and three variants of the weight of the planting tuber: 20-40 g, 41-60 g and 61-80 g. The applied agrotechnical measures are generally accepted for the non–Chernozem zone. The technology of planting topinambur is a comb. The research results show that with planting schemes of 70x30, 70x40 and 70x50 cm, topinambur forms the exact yield of tubers – 18.3-19.3 t/ha. When used for planting tubers weighing 41-80 g, the yield increases by 1.1-1.7 t/ha, compared with the planting fraction of 21-40 g, due to an increase in plant density by 0.1 pcs. /m2. Biological yield indicators fully reflect the actual yield. Under the studied planting schemes, it was also the same and amounted to 2002.6-2177.9 g/m2, and when planted with larger tubers, it was 271.7-277.0 g/m2 higher than tubers of 20-40 g. The proportion of tubers of the small fraction – 48-59 % prevails in the Jerusalem artichoke crop. The share of the food fraction is 8-16 %. The fractional composition of tubers in the crop does not depend on the mass of the planting tuber. The share of planting tubers in the harvest with schemes 70x30 and 70x40 cm is higher by 6-8 %. A higher dry matter content in tubers was observed when planting tubers weighing 20-60 g – 21.3-21.6 %, and vitamin C – when planting tubers 61-80 g – 14.5 mg/kg. The planting scheme does not affect the biochemical composition of topinambur tubers.

The results of testing a drug obtained from livestock waste containing fulvic acids on winter and spring wheat are presented. The prescription was obtained by treating an aqueous infusion of chicken manure and pig waste with 60% nitric acid. Before use, the drug was diluted with water in a ratio of 1:100. The working solution had a pH of 6.7–6.9. The specified pH value of the working solution prevents the possible adverse effect of the drug on other agrochemicals when using tank mixtures. Pre-sowing treatment of winter wheat seeds with the resulting preparation, at a consumption rate of 0.1 l/t, increased the area of flag leaves, which had a significant positive effect on yield, by 1.8 times compared with the control. The biomass of plants treated with the drug was 1.3 times greater than in the control. Pre-sowing treatment of seeds with the medication at a consumption rate of 0.1 l/t led to an increase in the yield of winter wheat in the conditions of the Belgorod region by 0.44 t/ha, or by 6.8 %, as well as the content of gluten protein in grain by 2.0 % and reduced infection of seeds with Alternaria. Spraying spring wheat during the stem growth phase (two nodes) increased the yield by 0.73 t/ha or 20.8 %. The use of the drug for pre-sowing seed treatment significantly reduced the sensitivity of spring wheat plants to herbicide stress. The increase in yield under the influence of the medicine was achieved by increasing the number of ears by 11.2 % and by increasing the number of grains in an ear by 8.3 %.

Fungal isolates isolated from garden strawberry plants Fusarium semitectum Berk. Et Ravenel and Verticillium albo-atrum Reinke et Berth proved to be pathogenic. Under field conditions, artificial inoculation with these isolates increased the development of verticillium disease to 24.0-57.0 % and the development of fusarium disease to 26.0-31.0 %, which significantly exceeded the growth of root rot in control at the level of 2.0-2.2 %. Inhibition of the above-ground system length in infected plants reached 6.5-30.5 % relative to the control. In a laboratory experiment, the presence of pathogenic properties in an isolate of the fungus Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc., also isolated from strawberry plants, was proved. Artificial inoculation caused a decrease in the length of the above-ground system by 33.2 %, the number of new leaves by 53.8%, a reduction in the size of the roots by 43.9 %, and increased rhizome necrosis by 3.2 times relative to the control. The general condition of strawberry plants in the control was satisfactory by 3.2 points. The negative effect of the phytopathogen in variants with inoculation was manifested in a decrease in the state of plants to a level of 1.3-1.4 points. According to the results of a 3-year observation, the varieties Alexandrina, Festivalnaya Romashka, and Solnechnaya Polyanka showed relative resistance to fusarium disease of strawberries (the development of the disease on average over three years ranged from 2.8 to 5.7 %, with 11.3 % in the standard variety Yunia Smaids). Varieties Feya, hybrid Lutova, Aleksandrina, Festivalnaya Romashka, Solnechnaya Polyanka, Festivalnaya, and Anastasia had relative resistance to verticillium disease (the development of the disease on average over three years ranged from 0 to 1.8 %, with 8.9 % for the standard).
