Authors: Грицук Оксана
Published: July 2020

Актуальність проблеми обумовлена необхідністю покращення емоційних станів здобувачів вищої освіти. Мета статті – розкрити особливості емоційних станів здобувачів вищої освіти під час навчальних занять. Ми припускаємо, що емоційні стани здобувачів відрізняються залежно від форми навчального заняття. Використано методи теоретичного аналізу сучасних досліджень щодо емоційних станів здобувачів, психодіагностична методика «САН: самопочуття, активність, настрій» (В.О. Доскін, Н.О. Лаврентьєва, В.Б. Шарай, М.П. Мирошников), методи кількісної оцінки даних за допомогою пакету STATISTICA 12. Представлено та проаналізовано результати емпіричного дослідження основних складових емоційного стану здобувачів – самопочуття, активності, настрою. Проведено порівняння показників самопочуття, активності та настрою у здобувачів вищої освіти на лекційному, семінарському і лабораторному заняттях за допомогою тесту Фрідмана. Виявлено, що емоційні стани здобувачів вищої освіти під час різних видів навчальної діяльності мають неоднорідний характер. Визначено, що на семінарських заняттях здобувачі мають знижені показники настрою і самопочуття, ніж на лекційних та лабораторних навчальних заняттях. Виявлено більш високі показники вираженості активності у здобувачів спостерігаються на лабораторних заняттях. Доведено, що показники самопочуття мають низькі значення під час лекційних занять. Емоційний стан здобувачів вищої освіти під час лекційних занять характеризується як забарвлений негативними психічними станами, такими, як втомленість, безсилля, але присутній оптимізм стосовно подальшої навчальної роботи.Емоційний стан здобувачів вищої освіти під час семінарських занять вирізняється напруженістю, втомою, виснаженням.Емоційний стан здобувачів вищої освіти під час лабораторних занять характеризується бадьорістю, працездатністю, активністю, захопленістю процесом навчання, задоволеністю практичними результатами. Наведені матеріали дозволяють по-новому поглянути на особливості емоційних станів здобувачів вищої освіти під час різних видів навчальних занять.

The effects of disease cross-coverage by dupilumab on the costs sustained by the Italian National Health Service
Authors: Jommi Claudio , Cipriani Filippo , Fanelli Francesca , Pedone Maria Paola , Canonica Walter
Published: July 2020

Background and research question: Label extension for treatments and the relevant disease cross-coverage may produce an economic benefit. This paper assesses this benefit for dupilumab in the perspective of the Italian National Health Service. Dupilumab was approved for reimbursement for severe atopic dermatitis (AD), severe and refractory asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The analysis focused on the crowding-out effect of dupilumab on alternative treatments.

Methods: The research relied on a simplified budget impact model. The model was populated by data from published evidence and relied on three alternative scenarios for market penetration (15%-30%-100%).

Results: Avoidable direct health annual costs due to cross-coverage for (i) asthma in patients treated for AD ranged from 0.46 to 3.43 million euros, (ii) asthma in patients treated for CRSwNP ranged from 0.08 to 0.88 million euros, (iii) CRSwNP in patients treated for asthma ranged from 0.41 to 4.05 million euros respectively. The total economic benefit ranges from 0.95 to 8.36 million euros.

Discussion: The research estimated the crowding-out effect of dupilumab on alternative treatments. It did not incorporate avoided/incremental events due to a possible better/worse risk-benefit profile of dupilumab vs alternative treatments and the economic benefit of cross-coverage on lower diseases severity (for example mild asthma). Nonetheless, the analysis relies on the best available evidence for Italy to shed light on a topic which has not been sufficiently investigated, and provides data that will be potentially very important for policy-makers, payers and those who manage new treatments.
Diving plasticity in the ancestral range of the yellow-eyed penguin Megadyptes antipodes, an endangered marine predator
Authors: Muller CG , Chilvers BL , French RK , Battley PF
Published: July 2020

In long-lived marine predators such as penguins, foraging behaviour is related to breeding success. Yellow-eyed penguins Megadyptes antipodes are thought to be predominantly benthic foragers around mainland New Zealand, with previous dive studies showing little variation in diving behaviour and minimal change by year or breeding status. This apparent absence of foraging flexibility may be linked to local prey availability and therefore also to foraging success, factors believed to contribute to the current population decline. Here, we undertook the first detailed study of yellow-eyed penguin diving and foraging behaviour in the subantarctic Auckland Islands, part of the original ancestral range of the species that colonised mainland New Zealand. We collected dive logs from 134 foraging trips made by 73 breeders from Enderby Island, Auckland Islands, in the New Zealand subantarctic. Pelagic dives and foraging trips were recorded in the subantarctic population—a foraging strategy not previously published in dive studies on this species. Changes between benthic and pelagic foraging were recorded for individuals within foraging trips, within a breeding season, and between years. Differences in diving behaviour between the subantarctic and that reported for mainland New Zealand are likely influenced by local bathymetry and environmental conditions, and prey availability. However, the subantarctic population shows a greater use of pelagic foraging not evident in the northern population, even in areas that have a similar depth to some mainland foraging areas. This observed foraging flexibility may have implications for breeding success and potentially the long-term population trends of these 2 genetically similar populations.
GRASS SPECIES : INTRODUCTION IN CENTRAL OTAGO
Authors: Douglas J.A.
Published: July 2020

MOST ADVISORS of tussock grassland development frequently recommend the sowing of a few pounds of grass seed, usually cocksfoot, with clover seed mixtures for oversowing. With changes taking place in tussock grassland fertility, owing to successful clover growth and more intense grazing, it appears an appropriate time to assess critically the place of grass oversowing and more particularly the emphasis on cocksfoot as the grass to sow in the tussock grassland environment.
PASTURE UTILIZATION AND THE NEAR FUTURE
Authors: Edmond D.B.
Published: July 2020

IN THE NEAR FUTURE, the efficiency with which New Zealand pastures are utilized must improve. This should be possible through applying available information, which should be well known and accepted by all, but which is too often under-rated or neglected. It is particularly important to accept that pasture utilization and pasture production are interdependent.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRIVATE DAIRY FARMS IN NORTHLAND: 1. The Dairy Farmer's Viewpoint
Authors: Vallance C.
Published: July 2020

ELEVEN YEARS AGO, I purchased land on the west coast 10 miles south-east of Dargaville. It is rolling country with sandy soils of two types, one of good quality, and known as Red Hill sand, and the other, Te Kopuru sand, a sandy gumland with a pan beneath. The climate is generally mild, but very strong westerly winds carrying sea spray are a feature of the area, and the effects of dry summers are felt very quickly. The farm comprises 131 acres, and was purchased in two blocks, one of 85 acres and one of 46 acres. In 1956, I went on to the farm with 44 heifers of my own, and 5 cows and 20 yearlings I had purchased. The only other things I owned were a truck, a tractor 20 years old, and a mower.
GRASSLAND FERTILITY AND CROPPlNG
Authors: Mcleod C.C.
Published: July 2020

MOST of New Zealand's soils are inherently infertile and fertility has had to be built up per medium of clovers, pasture and grazing animals. On the pastoral land, nitrogen deficiency is the main limiting factor to increased production. The key to improvement lies in the clover plant which has the capacity to supply enough nitrogen for itself and the requirements of the associated grasses. At Palmerston North Sears (1952) found the nitrogen fixed was equivalent to 15 cwt sulphate of ammonia; in Canterbury, 100 lb, equivalent to 5 cwt of sulphate of ammonia, would probably be a reasonable annual average. To utilize the high dry matter produced under favourable conditions, high stock numbers are required which, in association with all-year grazing, favours a rapid buildup of soil fertility. In turn, high soil fertility enables high-yielding crops to be grown and this situation exists in most parts of New Zealand.
FACTORS AFFECTING SURVIVAL OF RHIZOBIA ON INOCULATED CLOVER SEED
Authors: Taylor G.G. , Lloyd J.M.
Published: July 2020

PRODUCTION of rhizobium inoculated and coated lucerne and clover seed was commenced in 1965 by Coated Seed Ltd. in response to a su Scientific and Industria gestion 7 from the Department of Research that it would be a profitable undertaking and would serve the needs of the farming community. Events proved that neither objective could be easily achieved and it became necessary to investigate the seed-inoculum-coat complex in relation to longevity of the rhizobia and to devise manufacturing procedures which would not only meet the objective of effective nodulation in the field but would be economic and provide an acceptable commercial product. In the course of this work on behalf of Coated Seed Ltd., certain principles have been defined which are of interest to research workers and farmers.
PASTURE SEEDS MIXTURES, COMPETITION AND PRODUCTIVITY

THE PRINCIPLES involved in making up a pasture seeds mixture are many and complicated, and while considerable attention was paid to these principles in the period between 1910-30 (e.g., Cockayne, 1914, 1917; Levy, 1923, 1936; Stapledon and Davies, 1927, 1928) development of other areas of investigation of sward performance have in recent years tended to overshadow the importance of the species mixture in determining the productivity of a sward.
GRAZING SYSTEMS ON DAIRY AND SHEEP FARMS
Authors: Glue D.I.
Published: July 2020

THE PURPOSE of this paper is to deal with current grazing methods as practised on high-producing dairy and sheep farms. While an attempt will be made to give a general picture of the situation in New Zealand, Northland experience will be heavily drawn on for several reasons. Northland has given the highest yearly pasture production ever recorded in New Zealand; stock are fed almost entirely on pasture, hay or silage; the high development of clay in Northland soils and the high rainfall mean that pasture damage is a constant threat; and, lastly, it is the district in which the writer works and knows best.
COMMENTS ON THE ECOLOGY OF GRASS GRUB AND PORINA CATERPILLAR
Authors: Pottinger R.P.
Published: July 2020

THE OBJECT of this paper is to discuss the ecology of grass grub, Costelytra zealandica White, and porina, Wiseana cervinata (Walker), New Zealand's most important pastoral insect pests, and to survey what has been achieved in ecological understanding of these insects. The biology and ecology of either or both insects have previously been reviewed by Dumbleton (1942), Miller (1945), Kelsey (1951a, b) and Hoy (1963). The lack of fundamental biological information on grass grub (and this is equally applicable to porina caterpillar) and the need for longterm team studies were stressed, although little sustained, co-ordinated research has since eventuated.
CLIMATE, PASTURE PRODUCTION AND IRRIGATION
Authors: Rickard D.S.
Published: July 2020

THE HISTORY of agriculture is mainly a record of man's struggle to adapt his farming to the climate in which he lived, and also of his efforts to become independent of that climate. It is no accident that many of the myths and legends of early man were very much concerned with events closely related to the farming year. Early meetings of a primitive version of Federated Farmers were possibly concerned more with ensuring that the sun returned after mid-winter, with the promise of spring, than with the barter value of the grain crop.

THE PROPERTY to be discussed is a mixed sheep and cropping unit, situated ei ht a miles east of Ashburton and midway between the Ra aia and the Ashburton rivers. Average annual rainfall is 27 in., evenly spread, but there is very high summer evaporation and therefore frequent droughts. On average, the soil is below wilting point for 40 to 50 days each summer. Winters are cold with the soil temperature being below 48°F for about four months each year. The soil is a Lismore stony silt loam averaging 9 in. in depth over gravel.
PROGRESS MADE WITH PARAQUAT IN RELATION TO PASTURE MANAGEMENT
Authors: Williams P.P. , Palmer P.C.
Published: July 2020

Spraying pasture with paraquat in spring or summer at rates of 1 to 4 oz/acre increased the clover content during the first summer and was followed by strong recovery of ryegrass during the autumn/ winter period. Trials have indicated increased dry matter production from treated pasture imn late winter/early spring. Lamb growth rates were significantly higher on sprayed pasture, especially during the summer to autumn period. The implications of these effects are discussed in relation to farm management.

RESPONSES BY LUCERNE AND ASSOCIATED VOLUNTEER SPECIES TO APPLIED FERTILIZERS IN NORTH CANTERBURY
Authors: Stephen R.C.
Published: July 2020

IN Canterbury lucerne is generally established in 7 in. rows, without companion species, by drilling inoculated lucerne seed with matured lime-reverted superphosphate into an adequately cultivated and limed seedbed (Anon, 1958). As the crop ages, other species establish voluntarily so that eventually a mixed association of lucerne and variable proportions of grasses, clovers and other herbs results (Blair, 1965). The point at which volunteer species establish in the lucerne crop varies, and, although many crops remain free from other species for several years, some become infested during their establishment phase (Allen, 1967). The establishment and persistence of volunteers in the lucerne crop are affected by a wide range of factors such as the occurrence of lucerne diseases and pests (Blair, 1968), the variety of lucerne sown (Lobb, 1969), harvest and grazing management (Keoghan, 1967; O'Connor and Vartha, 1968), and applications of fertilizers (Sewell, 1960; Stephen, 1964; Harris, et al., 1966).
PRESENT AND FUTURE TRENDS IN GRASSLAND RESEARCH IN NEW ZEALAND

Published: July 2020

PASTURE PRODUCTION is logically measured in terms of grazing animals supported by that pasture.

Published: July 2020

The article examines the experience of global economic development, which impressively demonstrates that the leading positions are occupied by those States that use the scientific potential that allows them to be the first to produce advanced varieties of products based on a more advanced technological structure. According to the author, this provides opportunities for such countries to obtain monopolistically significant innovative rents and maximize profits. At the same time, it is quite obvious that advanced technologies and equipment are formed, implemented and applied by a person, they are not formed and do not work without him. The key driving force behind the formation of an advanced technological order is the human Creator, the power of his creative and innovative energy. It appears as a synergistic effect based on 2 key points: the presence of creative and innovative potential of the staff and strong motivation.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are being increasingly recognised as key modulators of various biological mechanisms, including the immune response. Although investigations in teleosts are still lagging behind those conducted in mammals, current research indicates that lncRNAs play a pivotal role in the response of fish to a variety of pathogens. During the last several years, interest in lncRNAs has increased considerably, and a small but notable number of publications have reported the modulation of the lncRNA profile in some fish species after pathogen challenge. This study was the first to identify lncRNAs in the commercial species European sea bass. A total of 12,158 potential lncRNAs were detected in the head kidney and brain. We found that some lncRNAs were not common for both tissues, and these lncRNAs were located near coding genes that are primarily involved in tissue-specific processes, reflecting a degree of cellular specialisation in the synthesis of lncRNAs. Moreover, lncRNA modulation was analysed in both tissues at 24 and 72 h after infection with nodavirus. Enrichment analysis of the neighbouring coding genes of the modulated lncRNAs revealed many terms related to the immune response and viral infectivity but also related to the stress response. An integrated analysis of the lncRNAs and coding genes showed a strong correlation between the expression of the lncRNAs and their flanking coding genes. Our study represents the first systematic identification of lncRNAs in European sea bass and provides evidence regarding the involvement of these lncRNAs in the response to nodavirus.
Effect of Loudspeakers on the In Situ Electric Field in a Driver Body Model Exposed to an Electric Vehicle Wireless Power Transfer System
Authors: Lan Junqing , Hirata Akimasa
Published: July 2020

This study computationally evaluates the effect of loudspeakers on the in situ electric field in a driver body model exposed to the magnetic field from a wireless power transfer (WPT) system in an electric vehicle (EV), one with a body made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and the other made with aluminum. A quasi-static two-step approach was applied to compute the in situ electric field. The computational results showed that the magnetic field distribution generated by the WPT is significantly altered around the loudspeakers, and shows obvious discontinuity and local enhancement. The maximum spatial-average magnetic field strength in the driver’s body was increased by 11% in the CFRP vehicle. It was 2.25 times larger than the reference levels (RL) prescribed in the International Commission of Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines in 2010. In addition, we found that the in situ electric field computed by the line- and volume-averaging methods were stable if the top 0.1% voxels are excluded. The maximum value was well below the basic restriction (BR) of the ICNIRP guidelines. Nevertheless, the presence of the loudspeaker led to increments in the electric field strength in parts of the human body, suggesting the potential influence of permissible transmitting power in the WPT system. The maximum electric field strength in the thigh and buttock with the woofer, increased by 27% in the CFRP vehicle. The arm value was up to 3 times higher than that obtained without the tweeter in the aluminum vehicle. Moreover, this study found that the maximum electric field strength depended on the location of the loudspeaker with respect to the WPT system and the separation from the driver model. Therefore, the loudspeaker should be considered when evaluating the maximum in situ electric field strength in the vehicle body design stage.

Published: July 2020

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and peak strain (PS) are essential indices for studying the mechanical properties of coal and rock masses, and they are closely related to mechanical parameters such as the elastic modulus (E), Poisson’s ratio (υ), cohesion (C) and internal friction angle (Φ) of coal and rock masses. This study took the No. 2-1 coal seam of Zhaogu No. 2 Mine, in Henan Province, China, as the research object. An RMT-150B servo testing machine was used to test all mechanical parameters, including the E, υ, C and Φ of coal and rock masses. Based on the principle of orthogonal testing, Three Dimensions Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua (FLAC3D) was used to select E, υ, C, Φ, tensile strength (Rm) and dilation angle (Ψ) as initial participation factors. Using these six parameters and a five-level combination scheme (L25 (56)), the influence of coal mechanical parameters on UCS and PS was investigated, using the software SPSS for stepwise regression analysis, and a uniaxial pressure-resistant regression prediction equation was established. The research showed that, under uniaxial compression conditions, the main parameters controlling UCS of coal masses are C and Φ; conversely, the main parameters controlling PS are E and C. UCS and PS exhibit significant linear relationships with these main controlling parameters. Here, a stepwise regression prediction equation was established through reliability verification analysis using the main controlling parameters. This prediction method produces very small errors and a good degree of fit, thus allowing the rapid prediction of UCS. The precision of the stepwise regression model depends on the number of test samples, which can be increased in the later stages of a design project to further improve the precision of the projection model.
