ALLELOPATIC INFLUENCE OF WEEDS ON THE GERMINATION OF WINTER WHEAT SEEDS
Authors: Okrushko Svetlana
Published: January 2024

The article summarizes the results of the phytotoxic effect of water-soluble extracts from various weeds on the germination processes of winter wheat seeds. Competitive relations between plant organisms begin with chemical interaction. Therefore, the competitive properties of the participants of the cenosis and the level of productivity of its components will depend on the starting conditions that are formed during the germination of the seeds of the crop. The research was carried out in the laboratory of plant physiology of VNAU. The purpose of the research was to establish in laboratory conditions the allelopathic effect of water extracts from the most common weeds of the Vinnytsia region: Convolvulus arvensis L., Sonchus arvensis L., Cirsium arvense L., Erigeron canadensis L., Matricaria perforata Merat, Capsella bursa pastoris, Erodium cicutarium L., Chenopodium album L., Galium aparine L., Stellaria media L. Water extracts from the stems, leaves and root system of weeds were prepared at a concentration of 1:10. During the experiment, it was established that the presence of allelopathically active substances of all experimental weed species of this concentration negatively affects the germination energy of winter wheat seeds. In the control version, all the seeds of the culture germinated on the 4th day, and in the experimental versions, 1-3% of the wheat seeds were in the swelling phase. Water extractions of different types of weeds had different inhibitory effects on winter wheat seed germination and subsequent growth of the root system and sprout stems. The negative effect of water-soluble secretions from Erodium cicutarium L., Cirsium arvense L. and Sonchus arvensis L. reduced the height of wheat seedlings by 5.8-4.0%. And the length of the root system of the culture was smaller by 5.7, respectively; 5.8 and 5% compared to the control variant. Water-soluble extracts from Stellaria media L. and Matricaria perforata Merat. had the least influence on the growth processes of winter wheat. The difference in sprout height from the control variant was 1.3% and 2.0%, respectively. The length of the germinal root of wheat was shorter by 1.8% and 3.8% under the influence of water-soluble secretions of asteraceae and chamomile. The total length of the root system of winter wheat was inhibited by them by 2.4% and 2.6%, respectively, in relation to the control. The results of the conducted research provide justification for the appearance of unfriendly seedlings and the lag in the growth of winter wheat plants on weedy areas.

Published: January 2024

This article presents the results of field research on the effect of seed treatment with the Mycofriend mycorrhizal biopreparation and the use of Groundfix soil biological fertilizer in pre-sowing cultivation, under different rates of mineral fertilization, on the formation of elements of individual plant productivity, namely the number of beans per plant, the number of grains per plant, mass grains from one plant and the mass of 1000 grains. The early ripening soybean variety of the Ukrainian selection Diadema Podillya was used for the study. The research was carried out during 2017-2021 at the research field of the "Agronomichne" research center of the VNAU. On the basis of the received data of the five-year cycle of field research, it was established that on the gray forest soils of the Right-bank forest-steppe, the most optimal conditions for the growth processes and development of soybean plants, and as a result of the formation of high individual productivity, are made under the conditions of applying mineral fertilizers in the norm of N60P60K60, soil biological Graunfix fertilizers (5 l/ha) and pre-sowing treatment of seeds with the mycorrhizal preparation Mycofriend (1,5 l/t). Under these conditions, the maximum number of beans per plant was obtained in the experiment, 27,2 pcs. (19,3 pcs. on the control), the number of grains per plant is 47,2 pcs. (37,5 pcs. on the control), the weight of grains from the plant is 7,6 g (5,43 g on the control) and the weight of 1000 grains is 160,9 g (145,1 g on the control). It should be noted that the variant of the experiment, which involved the application of mineral fertilizers at the rate of N45P45K45, the application of Groundfix at the rate of 5 l/ha and the treatment of seeds with the mycorrhizal preparation Mycofriend (1.5 l/t) ensured the formation of indicators of individual plant productivity at the same level as the variant with the introduction of only mineral fertilizers at the rate of N60P60K60, and in some cases even exceeded it. At the same time, the number of beans per plant was 22,0 pcs., the number of grains per plant was 41,3 pcs., the weight of grains per plant was 6,32 g, and the weight of 1000 grains was 153,4 g.

Authors: Savchenko Oleksandr
Published: January 2024

The species composition of herbaceous vegetation in oak plantations before their closure were analyzed. It was found that after cutting down the mother stand, the diversity of plants from different families begins to increase already in the first year. According to the results of field observations, a sharp reduction of shade-tolerant species and an increase of light-loving and drought-resistant species was revealed. As a result, non-forest edifiers increase and the change of tree communities by grassy non-forest formations, uncharacteristic for forest biocenoses. Representatives of the Poaceae family, as well as Fabaceae and Rosales, characteristic of the steppe zone, begin to actively appear on a fresh log. In the following years, the dominant position is occupied by the family of Asteraceae. In the first year after felling, about 40 species were identified, over the years their number decreases, and already in the sixth year, the number of species is about 17 species. Analysis of the coenomorphic structure shows that in the first years the number of sylvans significantly decreases, some species disappear altogether from the plantations. Instead, ruderants (from 55% in the first year to 35% in the sixth) and pratants (from 28% to 35%) begin to dominate. In the trophomorphic structure of the living ground cover on the lands not covered by forest, there is a significant decrease of mesotrophic species between 1–2 and 3–5 years. A significant decrease in oligotrophs (from 6% to 0%) and mesomegatrophs (from 3% to 0%) is also observed. No significant difference in the change of megatrophic species was found. According to the hygromorphic structure, mesophytic vegetation (46%-58%) is dominant in all studied areas. The greatest floristic similarity of grass cover is characterized by 2-3-year crops with 45% similarity of species composition, 4-5-year crops (46%) and 5-6-year crops (46%). The same types of grass vegetation grow on these Фlogs, acting as indicators of ecological conditions in the forest phytocenosis.

Further increase in gross soybean production requires the introduction of new varieties with an optimal combination of elements of the crop structure. Hybridization in soybeans is the main effective method of creating new varieties. Increasing the efficiency of hybridization in obtaining heterotic offspring is possible when using parental forms with high combinational ability in crosses. In the study, a two-tester analysis of topcrosses of soybean varieties differing in economically valuable traits was used. Based on the results of the combinational ability assessment, the value of soybean varieties was determined by the elements of the yield structure. Heterotic combinations in first-generation hybrids were identified, from which it is more likely to select highly productive forms in later hybrid populations F2-F4.
The high effects of ZKZ and SCZ on plant height in varieties Medea, Kyivska 97, Sawyer 2-95 and KiVin tester; on the height of lower bean attachment in varieties Sawyer 2-95, Ustia, Kharkivska skoroglya and KiVin tester; on the number of productive nodes - in varieties Kyivska 97 and Goverla tester; by the number of beans per plant - in varieties Sawyer 2-95, Kyivska 97 and tester Goverla; by the number of seeds per plant - in varieties Medea, Kyivska 97 and tester KiVin; by the weight of 1000 seeds - in varieties Sawyer 2-95, Kyivska 97 and tester Goverla; by the weight of grain per plant - in varieties Sawyer 2-95, Kyivska 97 and tester Goverla. It was found that additive effects of genes were predominant in the genetic control of plant height and lower bean attachment, elements of yield structure and grain weight per plant, but there is a smaller influence of non-additive effects. The manifestation of true heterosis (dominance in 100% of cases) in hybrids (F1) was found in crosses with both testers for the number of productive nodes, number of beans and seeds per plant, and grain weight per plant.

Published: January 2024

The study examined the effectiveness of different methods of plant formation when growing tomatoes. Tomatoes are one of the leading vegetable crops, both in the world and in Ukraine. Compared to other types of vegetables, they have the largest cultivated area in the world. Tomato production deserves special attention. Their volume in the overall structure of vegetable production is the largest. After all, consumer demand for tomatoes and their processed products has increased by almost a third in the world over the past thirty years. Modern studies of tomato culture are diverse. Now much attention is paid to the improvement of cultivation technology. From a biological point of view, tomatoes are annual herbaceous plants with a very good ability to form shoots. This has led to numerous studies to increase production per plant and per area without sacrificing product quality. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of various methods of plant formation on biometric indicators and the yield of the hybrid of the indeterminate tomato Toivo F1. When conducting research, it was found that tomato plants show an increased response to growing conditions in the period from flowering to fruiting. The duration of the periods from the emergence of shoots and from the beginning of flowering to the beginning of mass fruiting was the shortest when plants were formed with an additional stem with pinching of the central stem above the fourth raceme. The effectiveness of the application of the studied technological methods in the analysis of the dynamics of the formation of yield by months of the fruiting period has been established. The research results show that in July the yield in the formation of a plant in two stems with pinching was 59.5% of the total yield. In the control and the variant with the formation of a plant in two stems, 35.4 and 35.8% of the total yield, respectively, were obtained during this period. The increase in the total yield of tomato when the plant was formed into two stems with pinching was 0.8-1.8 kg/m2 or 4.6-5.5% compared to other variants of the experiment.

Study Design: Comparative Cross-sectional Study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Pak Emirates Military Hospital (PEMH) Rawalpindi, Pakistan fromAugust 2021 to March 2023.Methods: Women between the ages of 35 and 50 years who presented with heavy menstrual bleeding and were diagnosed with leiomyomata were included in this study. They were divided into two groups via block randomization. Group-I underwent uterine artery embolization while group-II received medical treatment (gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist). Clinical factors like shrinkage in the size of fibroids, rise in hemoglobin levels, and pelvic pain scores were compared in both groups at the end of three months. Results: Out of 160 women recruited in the study, 52 (32.5%) were pre-menopausal, while 108 (67.5%) were peri menopausal. The mean age of patients who presented with heavy menstrual bleeding due to leiomyomata was 45.23 ±12.70 years. The mean rise in hemoglobin (p-value-0.007) and mean shrinkage size (p-value<0.001) were statistically significantly found more in patients who underwent uterine artery embolization as compared to those who took medical treatment. The mean pain score (p-value-0.01) was also found to be more in a group of patients who underwent uterine artery embolization.Conclusion: Uterine artery embolization emerged as an effective procedure for women managed for heavy menstrual bleeding due to uterine fibroids. Medical management via gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist was inferior in efficacy in terms of mean rise in hemoglobin and fibroid shrinkage.How to cite this: Khan S, Ahmad M, Mirza ZA, Sheraz A, Tariq M.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Nevus of Ota, also known as oculodermal melanocytosis (ODM), is characterized by macular pigmentation which localized to the forehead and periocular area. It usually shows a dermatomal distribution from the first two branches of the trigeminal nerve. We reported a case of oculodermal melanocytosis (ODM).

Case presentation: A 39-year-old woman, came with complaints of her left eye rolling inwards for the past 5 years accompanied by a flat black spot on her forehead that spread to her left cheek. She was done macular OCT and orbital ultrasonography of the left eye. She was diagnosed with oculodermal melanocytosis in the left eye, moderate NPDR in both eyes, juvenile cataracts in both eyes, and esotropia in the left eye due to left-eye cranial nerve VI paralysis. Follow-up at 6 months was advised to the patient.

Conclusion: Although this is a benign condition, patients are at risk of developing complications such as increased intraocular pressure and melanoma of the skin and/or uvea, ongoing evaluation with imaging methods is highly recommended even if only skin lesions may be repaired using laser for cosmetic reasons.

Published: January 2024

This study investigated the effect of ellagic acid on autophagy in cisplatin-resistant human epithelial ovarian cancer cells. After the autophagy double-labeled mred fluorescence protein, green fluorescence protein, light chain 3 carrying adenovirus infected cisplatin-resistant human epithelial ovarian cancer cells, the changes of autophagy flux and autophagy-related proteins were detected. Cell counting kit-8 assay was employed to detect the viability of cisplatin-resistant human epithelial ovarian cancer cells. The results showed that the number of autophagosomes and autolysosomes in the ellagic acid group increased significantly in comparison with the in cisplatin-resistant human epithelial ovarian cancer group. With the increase in ellagic acid concentration, light chain 3-II/I ratio and Beclin1 expression increased, p62 expression and cell viability decreased, and caspase-3 activated, in cisplatin-resistant human epithelial ovarian cancer cells. Conversely, 3-methyladenine inhibited ellagic acid-induced autophagy and activated caspase-3 and enhanced the cell viability. Similarly, chloroquine significantly increased cell survival rate, light chain 3-II/I ratio, and activated caspase-3, but decreased p62 expression in the ellagic acid group. In conclusion, ellagic acid can induce autophagy to inhibit the proliferation of cisplatin-resistant human epithelial ovarian cancer cells.

Published: January 2024

The development of statistical methods also impacts the development of analytical methods. One analytical method in which this is the case is the multinomial logistic regression modeling method. In this method, we have more than two categories of the response variable. At this time, the data used in modeling has various problems, one of which is overdispersion. This is a condition where there is a correlation between the response variables. This paper will examine the performance of multinomial logistic regression when there is overdispersion present in the data. We will focus on implementing methods in the Stress Level Data, which is about student stress level due to ‘zoom fatigue’. The model selection is carried out using the stepwise method, where the best model is selected based on the smallest AIC value of the model candidates. The best model for our data shows that the performance of the multinomial logistic regression approach with overdispersion treatment is better than without allowing for overdispersion.

In the era of digitization, the traditional teaching method is not a sufficiently effective tool in increasing the level of information acquisition. One method to improve the educational program can be the introduction of a variety of content, technological or not, which occupies a noteworthy place in enhancing learning effectiveness. The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of using mobile applications on the success of students in learning a foreign language. To achieve the goal, the comparative method, testing, surveys, and statistical methods of analysis were used. The results showed a statistically significant difference in the vocabulary of the students of the experimental group when comparing the results before and after the study. EG student engagement, attention focus, and immersion in educational programs using mobile applications received relatively high marks. The study provides preliminary empirically supported results that indicate that mobile applications can be attractive and highly effective in foreign language learning. The practical value of the study is that the results demonstrate that teachers can benefit from the fact that students will use mobile applications to enhance their vocabulary performance when learning a new language. By general recognition, mobile applications are exceptionally convenient to use, and students demonstrate better results in learning as compared to students who took a course according to a traditional program. A promising research perspective can be the use of artificial intelligence for learning a foreign language in institutions of higher education.

Currently, there is a tendency in the world to increase the frequency of occurrence of cognitive disorders of various etiologies, due to both an increase in the proportion of the elderly population and an improvement in diagnostic capabilities. Nevertheless, most cases of dementia are still diagnosed at late stages, presenting huge economic, social and medical problems. The reasons for this are insufficient early diagnosis of cognitive impairment and the lack of a unified database of epidemiological data on the prevalence and incidence of dementia, as well as insufficient awareness of the population and stigmatization of the diagnosis of "Dementia". Knowledge of the main differential diagnostic differences of cognitive disorders in various nosologies will allow timely diagnosis in order to identify, prescribe specific treatment and subsequent monitoring of the dynamics of the condition of patients with cognitive impairment and dementia.

Published: January 2024

In this paper, the performance comparison between two different cycles has been numerically studied. In cycle1, the configuration of beds in the three bed chiller with mass recovery were taken as uniform in size but in cycle2 the configuration of Hex3 is taken as half of Hex1 or Hex2 (where Hex1 and Hex2 are identical). In the present numerical solution, the heat source temperature variation is taken from 70°C to 90°C (for both cycle) and along with coolant inlet temperature at 30°C and the chilled water inlet temperature at 14°C. Silica gel-water is chosen as adsorbent-refrigerant pair. In the new strategy, if any one bed (3rd bed) is connect with the evaporator during pre-heating or pre-cooling time then it will give better performance than that of existing system. In this strategy, mass recovery process also occurs in all bed. Results show that the cooling capacity (CC) and coefficient of performance (COP) of the cycle1 is much better than that of the cycle2 in the range of heat source temperature from 700C to 900C.

Published: January 2024

Las fracturas abiertas de tibia proximal son lesiones complejas de pronóstico variable donde existe pérdida de la continuidad ósea y comunicación con el ambiente externo. La proximidad de la tibia a la piel la hace propensa a sufrir daños extensos en los tejidos blandos y complicaciones perjudiciales posteriores por lo que deben ser manejadas por traumatólogos y cirujanos plásticos para abordar las lesiones tanto en el hueso como en los tejidos blandos. Los objetivos principales del tratamiento son lograr la estabilidad y la restauración de  las superficies articulares esto es posible gracias al avance de las  herramientas terapéuticas como el uso de oxígeno hiperbárico. Se reporta el caso de un paciente de 56 años, masculino, es traído en ambulancia a emergencias del Hospital General HOSNAG, tras sufrir accidente de tránsito con su vehículo, dando como resultado una fractura expuesta de tercio proximal de tibia con una considerable tumefacción y contusión de partes blandas. Es hospitalizado, se le realiza limpieza quirúrgica, colocación de tutores, corticotomía, colocación del sistema VAC, oxigenoterapia hiperbárica, colgajo de músculo gemelo medial e injerto de piel.

Published: January 2024

La investigación acción se lleva a cabo en la carrera docente inicial del Nivel de Formación Docente del Centro Regional de Educación, año lectivo 2023 con el objetivo de Fortalecer el accionar didáctico del formador de formadores mediante la aplicación de recursos digitales al proceso pedagógico, el cual parte de un diagnóstico previo para enfocar una indagación para mejorar lo ejecutado en los momentos didácticos de aula. Para ello, se ejecuta un enfoque cualitativo de descripción de datos en base a entrevistas a docentes y estudiantes y observación de clases para recabar informaciones. Los instrumentos aplicados precisan que las transformaciones incursionadas a las situaciones de enseñanza y aprendizaje se relacionan a la planificación didáctica y al proceder de los actores educativos en aula, aunque su ejecución tropiece con dificultad de escasa a baja conexión inalámbrica a internet al momento de ejecutar actividades de cada aplicativo, lo cual al subsanarse logra aprendizajes centrados en los aspectos cognitivos, motrices, afectivos y sociales de efectos concretos que llegan a comunicar la existencia de desafíos a implementar en aula al momento de enseñar y aprender. Se concluye que los recursos digitales en aula movilizan creatividad, imaginación, emociones variadas y comportamientos esperados que fortalecen la asistencia, participación y permanencia, aunque existe variación en los aplicativos no explorados por docentes ni estudiantes y necesarios de realizarse en posteriores semestres del año para ahondar en otras actividades que valoricen saberes adquiridos y evalúen un contenido o unidades del semestre.
Modelos de Elicitación de Requisitos Basados en Metodologías Ágiles: Una Revisión Sistemática de la Literatura
Authors: Ruiz Rojas Anderson , Guzmán Monteza Yudi
Published: January 2024

En este estudio se realiza una Revisión Sistemática de la Literatura (RSL) centrada en los modelos de elicitación de requisitos basados en metodologías ágiles. El objetivo es identificar patrones, prácticas exitosas y desafíos asociados a la elicitación de requisitos en entornos ágiles. La identificación y comprensión precisa de los requerimientos del sistema resulta crucial en el proceso de desarrollo de software, y en este panorama, la Elicitación de Requisitos (ER) desempeña un papel fundamental en este proceso. Las Metodologías Ágiles (MA), como Scrum, se han vuelto populares debido a su enfoque en la colaboración, entrega temprana y adaptabilidad a los cambios, ofreciendo ventajas significativas, como retroalimentación continua, la colaboración estrecha con los stakeholders y un enfoque orientado al valor de negocio. A pesar de la importancia de una ER adecuada, la tasa de éxito promedio de los proyectos de software sigue siendo baja. Los hallazgos derivados del análisis de frameworks y modelos para la ER basados en MA revelan un enfoque productivo en el uso de Scrum y procesos similares para gestionar de manera iterativa y colaborativa los requisitos del sistema. La integración de documentos de requisitos conjuntos (JRD) con Scrum destaca como una práctica común para mejorar la calidad y la colaboración. Además, se observa una adaptabilidad significativa relacionado a proyectos aplicando Big Data. La diversidad de modelos, desde Requirements Engineering for Software Architecture (RE4SA) hasta enfoques semiautomáticos para Requisitos de Calidad, destaca la variedad de estrategias para mejorar la eficacia de la ER en contextos ágiles. La validación práctica en entornos reales refuerza la aplicabilidad de estos enfoques. Estos hallazgos ofrecen percepciones valiosas para la mejora continua de la ER en el desarrollo ágil de software.

Evolution of the politics of Slovakia and Czechia regarding russia’s war against Ukraine (To the 30th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the Slovak and Czech Republics)
Authors: Vidnianskyi Stepan
Published: January 2024

Abstract. The article discusses the fact that after the overthrow of the communist regimes in the late 1980s, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the formation of independent states in the region, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe began to build good neighbourly relations with Ukraine on a fundamentally new basis. During the last 30 years, after thedeclaration of independence of the Slovak Republic (SR) and the Czech Republic (CR) in 1993, the relations of both republics with independent Ukraine developed quite successfully and dynamically. But after the beginning of the russian-Ukrainian war in 2014, they acquired a fundamentally new character and substance, as well as a special meaning. In this regard, the article examines the politics of the SR and the CR and the attitude of the politicalforces and the public of those states to russia’s war against Ukraine. The impact of the russian-Ukrainian war on the internal political development of Ukraine’s Western neighbours proves that their vital interests are freedom and people’s rule, the protection of national statehood, and cooperation with allies, partners, and democratically oriented neighbours.
And after the victory over the russian aggressor, the strong economy, stable politics, and active international relations of Ukraine will contribute to equal and beneficial cooperation with the closest neighbours and partners, such as the SR and the CR. Optimism is particularly encouraged by the plans of our Western neighbours to contribute to Ukraine’s recovery after the victory over the russian enemy.
