Published: February 2025

Students' pathways to universities are influenced by regional factors and various environmental variables. In particular, parents and teachers directly and indirectly influence students' learning processes and academic achievements, which ultimately play a significant role in the university pathways. Therefore, investigating the perspectives of parents and teachers in regional areas on academic factors is crucial for identifying background factors related to students' academic achievement and pathways. The current study aims to clarify the perceptions of parents and teachers in different regions regarding the academic factors (university/career pathways, study habits, and academic performance) that could provide insights based on these perceptions. The study adopted focus group interviews with teachers and parents residing in urban and suburban areas, and analyzed the responses using language network analysis. The findings indicated that while both teachers and parents recognized the importance of academic factors related to university/career paths, study habits, and academic achievement, there were differences in the sub-factors considered important between urban and suburban Areas. This study provides valuable insights into understanding the perspectives of parents and teachers in regional areas on academic factors and identifying factors that can support academic achievement according to regional characteristics.

Authors:   Education Research Institute, Ryu Youngchul
Published: February 2025

After the revision of the School Violence Prevention Act, the autonomy committee established in schools was changed to a review committee established in the Education Support Agency. This study analyzed the problems of the changed council and explored ways to improve it. To this end, focus group interviews(FGIs) were conducted with deliberative council members in Busan and Gyeongnam and analyzed. The results of the study reiterated the problems of the autonomous council, which include the bias and unprofessionalism of parent members, formalized operation, passive action against victimized students, and inconsistent action against perpetrators. New problems were identified, such as passive response by the school, transfer to the investigator, concealment and reduction of private schools, delayed deliberations, appointment of the chairperson in favor of the principal, abuse of the role of the secretary, inducing the chairperson to take action, and biased reappointment. Recommendations for improvement included reducing the number of parent members through legislative amendments, improving the reappointment process, reviewing the criteria for taking action against offending students, and improving the selection method for chairpersons.

Authors:   Education Research Institute, Lee Jungmin , Ban Jiyoon
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to examine the change trajectories of career adaptability and life satisfaction during adolescence, focusing on the three years from the first year to the third year of high school. Additionally, this study explores the longitudinal relationships between the two variables to analyze their mutual influence over time. For this purpose, data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018 (KCYPS 2018), conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute of Korea, were utilized. The final sample consisted of 1,745 students enrolled in general high schools, and their data from the fourth wave (2021) as first-year high school students to the sixth wave (2023) as third-year high school students were analyzed. The key findings are as follows. First, career adaptability showed a tendency to increase as students progressed to higher grades, while life satisfaction tended to decrease over time. Second, higher initial levels of career adaptability were associated with a more gradual increase in career adaptability and a more gradual decrease in life satisfaction over time. Similarly, higher initial levels of life satisfaction were linked to a more gradual decline in life satisfaction as time progressed. Based on these findings, the study explores the longitudinal relationship between career adaptability and life satisfaction and suggests educational interventions to support high school students during this critical developmental period.

Authors:   Education Research Institute, Lee Juyoung
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the perceptions of elementary school general students and science gifted students on the use of artificial intelligence in science subjects. An online survey was conducted on 31 elementary science gifted students from the Gifted Education Center of Metropolitan City A and 50 general elementary students from Special City B. The survey investigated the understanding of AI, changes in AI and science classes, and the perception of AI and the cultivation of scientific capabilities. The collected data were analyzed for differences in perception by group using an independent sample t-test. The results of the analysis showed that science gifted students had a statistically significantly higher understanding of AI than general students, and they also recognized the greater influence of AI on career decisions. In terms of perception of science classes, there was a significant difference between the two groups, especially in the influence of AI on interest in science classes. In terms of scientific capabilities, both groups showed positive perceptions that AI would help improve scientific thinking, scientific communication, scientific participation, and lifelong learning abilities. In general, science gifted students had a higher level of understanding of AI and a more positive attitude toward the use of AI in science classes than general students. In addition, the high level of interest and positive perception of AI led to expectations for the use of AI in science classes and the cultivation of scientific capabilities through it. Based on this analysis, this study suggested the need for differentiated educational content and methods according to the characteristics, level, and interest of learners when linking and integrating AI into science subjects.

Authors: Ha Yi Kyung
Published: February 2025

Purpose : This scoping review examined the assessment of learning outcomes in simulation-based education to recognize and respond to deteriorating patients in nursing education. Methods : The review followed Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework and the Joanna Briggs Institute’s manual. Studies were retrieved from databases such as Cochrane Central, PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. Results : A total of 15 studies, published between 2010 and 2023, were reviewed. Only six studies (40%) assessed both the cognitive learning outcomes related to recognition and the psychomotor outcomes related to responses to DPs. The learning outcomes included knowledge, situational awareness, cognition, the modified early warning score (MEWS), the situation–background–assessment–recommendation score, and teamwork in the cognitive domain; the MEWS action algorithm and psychomotor performance in the psychomotor domain; and self-efficacy, confidence, and self-confidence in the affective domain. Conclusion : Effective SBE for recognizing and responding to DPs should be designed to assess cognitive and psychomotor learning outcomes in nursing education. Future research should focus on enhancing non-technical skills through various approaches to SBE to recognize and respond to DPs.
САМОВІДНОВЛЕННЯ КЕРУВАЛЬНОСТІ ЛІТАКА, ЩО ОТРИМАЛО ПОШКОДЖЕННЯ ЗОВНІШНІХ ОБВОДІВ У ПОЛЬОТІ НА ОСНОВІ ІНФОРМАЦІЇ ПРО ЇХ ТЕМПЕРАТУРНИЙ СТАН

У роботі розглядається завдання, побудови системи керування польотом літака, що реконфігурується та забезпечує відновлення його керованості в умовах пошкодження зовнішніх обводів за рахунок використання інформації про нев'язку температурних полів пошкодженої і неушкодженої частини обшивки повітряного судня (ПС). Сучасна авіаційна транспортна система (АТС) активно нарощує свою частку у внутрішньому та міжнародному пасажиро-товарообігу. Цьому сприяє бурхливий розвиток нано-біо-інформаційно-когнітивних технологій (NBIC), підвищення попиту на авіаційні транспортні перевезення, швидкість та надійність доставки вантажів та пасажирів у райони недоступні іншим видам транспорту. Однак, поряд з цим авіаційні транспортні засоби схильні до впливу випадкових подій, що викликають особливі ситуації (ОС) в польоті. Однією з таких подій є випадкові зіткнення ПС з механічними, біологічними або електричними формуваннями. Ці зіткнення із зовнішніми обводами частин ПС призводять до миттєвої зміни аеродинамічної рівноваги літака в повітрі. При виникненні зазначених подій екіпажу (командирові) ПС потрібне миттєве ухвалення рішення про дії з паруванням їх наслідків. Відомо, що інтелектуальний рівень людини слабо корелюється з обсягом його мозку. Нейрофізіологічними дослідженнями, проведеними Джоном Піланом Хейнсом, доведено, що активність мозку, наприклад, при контролі дій пальців, виявляється ще до того, як їхній власник збирається ними поворушити. Проміжок часу такого попередження може досягати від 300 мілісекунд до 10 секунд [8]. Це означає, що вибір та дію командира повітряного судна (КПС) обумовлені не розумом (самосвідомістю та інтелектом), а мозком (біологічною масою). Звідси можна припустити, що модель дії КПС, що має великий попередній досвід і практичні навички, формується в мозку заздалегідь, а в критичній ситуації в умовах крайнього дефіциту часу, випереджаючи розум, змушує його діяти по моделі, що заздалегідь склалася, така модель не завжди відповідає реально сформованій у польоті ситуації. Враховуючи вкрай високу швидкоплинність (1,5-2 секунди) розвитку аварійної ситуації та переходу її в катастрофічну можна стверджувати, що прийняти усвідомлене рішення в такій ситуації КПС не встигає. З наведених факторів випливає, що в у разі отримання у повітрі раптових ушкоджень зовнішніх обводів частин літака внаслідок зіткнення з механічними, біологічними чи електричними формуваннями, які призводять до миттєвим змінам рівноваги зусиль і моментів, тобто, до втрати стійкості і керованості, їх відновлення можливе тільки за рахунок системи автоматичного управління (САУ), що реконфігурується, що володіє незрівнянно меншим запізненням. Під реконфігурацією управління літаком розумітимемо: параметричну реконфігурацію, структурну реконфігурацію, реконфігурацію аеродинамічних рухомих поверхонь, реконфігурацію завдання на політ.

Published: February 2025

Сучасні інформаційні технології дедалі більше проникають у фінансовий сектор, пропонуючи нові можливості для автоматизації процесів інвестування та управління портфелями. Особливий акцент робиться на роботах-адвайзерах, мобільних додатках та платформах для оптимізації інвестицій, які забезпечують простий і доступний спосіб управління активами для широкого кола користувачів. У контексті української економіки, яка стикається з численними викликами, такими як воєнні дії, економічна нестабільність, інфляція та девальвація національної валюти, особливого значення набуває доступність інструментів, що допомагають зберегти та примножити заощадження. В статті розглядаються сучасні IT-рішення для підбору інвестиційних портфелів з акцентом на їхню локалізацію для користувачів в Україні, зокрема аналізуються наявні інструменти та їхня придатність для українського ринку. Виявлено, що більшість існуючих платформ мають обмеження, пов’язані з відсутністю локалізації, неадаптованістю до вимог українського законодавства, а також обмеженнями доступу для користувачів, які не є резидентами США чи ЄС, що створює бар’єри для їх використання серед місцевих інвесторів. Враховуючи це, дослідження обґрунтовує необхідність розробки нових локалізованих інструментів, які б задовольняли потреби українських користувачів та були пристосовані до умов місцевого ринку. Особливу увагу приділено вирішенню проблем із заощадженнями в Україні, адже інвестування може стати важливим засобом для створення додаткових накопичень, що зменшить залежність від державних соціальних виплат та забезпечить фінансову стабільність. Результати дослідження будуть використані для розробки інноваційного продукту, який сприятиме підвищенню рівня фінансової грамотності населення та прибере основні бар'єри з якими стикаються люди, які ще не мали досвіду інвестування. Це сприятиме підвищенню фінансової стабільності в Україні та розширенню доступу до інвестицій для широкого кола громадян. Особливо актуальним є створення продуктів, які є простими у використанні для людей без спеціальних знань у фінансовій сфері, що забезпечить більший рівень інклюзивності та довіри до інвестиційного процесу.

Assessment of Burden, Quality of Life, and Sexual Dysfunction in Spouses of Patients with Substance Use Disorder
Authors: Kumar Patel Dr Amit
Published: February 2025

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a significant public health concern that affects not only the individuals
consuming substances but also their families, particularly spouses. This study assesses the burden, quality of life
(QOL), and sexual dysfunction experienced by spouses of SUD patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted
at Shyam Shah Medical College, Rewa, with 200 participants (100 cases and 100 controls). The findings
indicate that spouses of SUD patients experience significantly higher emotional, psychological, and social
burdens, lower QOL scores, and a higher prevalence of sexual dysfunction. Recent research further supports
these findings, emphasizing the link between caregiving burden and increased mental health risks in spouses of
SUD patients. These findings underscore the necessity for targeted interventions, including psychological
counseling, peer support groups, and relationship-focused therapies, to mitigate the effects of living with an
SUD patient.

Among the numerous risks faced by oral health care practitioners is the potential for cross-infection with bloodborne infections. Many different types of germs can be readily spread at a dental clinic, including viruses,
bacteria, and hepatitis C and B.
Aim: to evaluate knowledge, attitude and practice of the recommended infection control procedures among
undergraduate dental students at dental school/ Sirt University, Libya.
Materials and Methods:
This study was a cross-sectional study. It was considered that previously used questionnaire (Royal College of
Medicine Perak). Would add strength to our study and hence only minor changes were made to it. A random
sampling of Libyan dental students filled out three section questions regarding knowledge, awareness, attitude,
and barriers towards the Evidence-based infection control measures.

Geochemical and Petrographic Assessment of the Sedimentary Ironstone Exposures of Kaduna-Ife, in the Northern Anambra Basin, Nigeria
Authors: Alege Tope Shade , SamuelMebatonije Abayomi , Alege Emmanuel Korede
Published: February 2025

This study presents a comprehensive petrographic and geochemical analysis of ironstone deposits
in the Northern Anambra Basin, Nigeria, employing thin-section microscopy and X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
spectroscopy. The primary objective was to evaluate these mineralogical composition, textural features, and
geochemical characteristics to infer their depositional environment and assess their potential for economic
utilisation.Petrographic examination revealed that the ironstones are predominantly composed of iron oxides,
notably hematite and goethite, with significant amounts of silica andalumina. Quartz grains exhibited undulose
extinction and embayment against the groundmass, indicating minimal alteration and a stable depositional
environment. Biotite minerals displayed pleochroism and were associated with alteration products, reflecting
diagenetic processes that have contributed to the iron enrichment of the rock. The opaque minerals, likely iron
oxides, indicate lateritic weathering under oxidising conditions.Geochemically, the ironstones exhibited high
iron content, averaging approximately 49.265%, with low levels of deleterious elements such as sulfur and
phosphorus. The silica content was within permissible limits, while the alumina content was relatively high,
suggesting the presence of gangue materials. The low levels of calcium oxide and the absence of sulfur oxides
point to an oxidising environment during deposition.These findings align with those observed in other ironstone
deposits in Nigeria, such as the Agbaja ironstone, which also exhibits high iron content and low levels of sulfur
and phosphorus. The integrated petrographic and geochemical analyses indicate that the ironstones of the
Northern Anambra Basin formed under conditions conducive to iron enrichment, likely through processes such
as lateritic weathering and diagenetic alteration. The high iron content and favourable geochemical
characteristics suggest that these ironstones have the potential for economic exploitation, provided that the
silica and alumina content are reduced in the beneficiation process. This research contributes to
understandingthe mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of ironstone deposits in theMamu Formation
of the Northern Anambra Basin by providing valuable insights for future exploration and exploitation
endeavours.
Call for Activist-Propelled Decolonisation of Education in Africa
Authors: Kili K’Odhiambo Prof Atieno
Published: February 2025

Just in the same way the elites of Africa marshaled citizens and other liked-minded people to resort to armed
struggle to dismantle colonialism, now it is posited to be the turn of activists to marshal resources, both human
and material, to dismantle education which is full of colonial underpinnings and in its place establish education
which is future oriented and relevant for technological advancement. Leaders in Africa seek endless support
from foreign countries, instilling in the minds of their citizens that development is premised on foreign funding;
a scenario that must be dismantled through activist-propelled endeavours. In this paper, analysis as a second
order research methodology is used to argue in a historical perspective the genesis of school education and the
colonial underpinnings that have girded education in Africa throughout the ages. School education originated
in Africa and it is due to its transformative passages that education in Africa is full of colonial undertones. The
fight to decolonise education cannot be successful by talking in conferences and workshops but through activism
supported by national and international instruments.

Published: February 2025

Our universe is so vast that the observable universe is just 5% as per some study. In this observable
universe there are billions and billions of stars, galaxies and other massive formations. Black holes are one
among them. But it gains attention due to its extreme gravitational force that even light can’t escape from this and
hence can’t be seen. However, its behavior can be experienced and thus can not only identify but also analyses
them in detail. This paper gives some light on the research made on black holes by some of the eminent
professionals and thus summarizes it so that, this forms a stepping stone for further research.
Foreign Object Detection Algorithm for Transmission Lines Based on YOLO-World
Authors: Shulin Xun Shulin Xun
Published: February 2025

Foreign object detection based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aerial images is an important
part of intelligent inspection of transmission lines. The YOLO series of object detection algorithms have become
mainstream methods due to their high accuracy and fast detection capabilities. However, they require
predefined target categories, which limits their applicability in open scenarios. YOLO-World enhances its
adaptability to open scenarios through visual-language modeling and large-scale dataset pre-training.
However, the environment for foreign object detection in transmission lines is complex, and the types of targets
are numerous, which are not fully covered in general datasets. To fully leverage the advantages of YOLOWorld, it must be fine-tuned to better learn and adapt to the specific foreign object dataset of transmission lines.
Experimental results show that the fine-tuned YOLO-World significantly improves detection accuracy and
reliability in actual inspections, effectively identifying various unknown foreign objects, thereby ensuring the
safe operation of transmission lines.
Innovative use of Rice Husk Ash and Coconut shell in Self-Compacting Concrete: A step Towards Sustainable Construction
Authors: Olanrewaju Kotun Mustapha
Published: February 2025

The construction industry’s increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly materials has led to the exploration of innovative alternative, in the current construction business, concrete is a fundamental building material that accounts for a significant portion of costs. The quality of the concrete, which varies from normal to special specifications to satisfy design expectations in real practices, is the main source of concern. The construction industry may be able to overcome the drawbacks associated with using conventional concrete in densely reinforced structural elements by implementing Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). The need for using sustainable building materials and reducing trash sent to landfills is growing in response to society's ongoing shift towards environmental consciousness. Thus, it has been determined that the actual use of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as a Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) can help cut down on the amount of Portland cement used in the building sector. The study aims to ascertain the ideal ratio of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) for use as an additional cementitious material to partially substitute Portland cement in self-compacting concrete. This paper reports the performance evaluation of self-compacting coconut shell concrete (SCCSC) with Rice Husk Ash developed using discarded coconut shells as full replacement of coarse aggregate and partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement with RHA at 0 - 30%, while RHA was extracted through the uncontrolled burning of rice husk. Tests carried out on the fresh concrete include slump flow, V-funnel and L-box confirmed the flow ability, viscosity and passing ability of the developed mixes. Furthermore, on the hardened concrete, mechanical properties such as compressive strength and splitting tensile strength were conducted, the cubes were tested at 7, 14 and 28 days. Tests results showed that 5% replacement of RHA of SCCSC can be appreciably incorporated for light weight concrete showing an increase in compressive strength from 16.8N/mm at 7days to 19.6N/mm at 28 days and 1.33N/mm at 7 days to 1.41N/mm at 28days.

Authors: Karaman Abdurrahman
Published: February 2025

Tensile strength is the resistance of the wood material to two forces applied in opposite
directions and trying to break and separate the fibers. This study was carried out to determine the tensile
strength perpendicular to the fibers of beech lumber reinforced with basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP),
glass fiber reinforced polymer and plaster mesh (PSM) and joined with beech dowel (BD), oak dowel (OD) and
black pine dowel (BPD). Beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky), Black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) and oak (Quercus
petraea Lieble) wooden were used as wooden dowels. Polyurethane (PUR-D4) wase used as the adhesive. The
BFRP, GFRP, and PSM were added as one layer of reinforced materials. The experimental reinforced with
BFRP, GFRP, and PSM were tested in the four different locations unreinforced, reinforced lumber with BFRP,
GFRP, and PSM. Tests were performed on the experimental samples to investigate the tensile strength
perpendicular to fiber (┴σt). The test results showed that the reinforcement process increased the (┴σ). The ┴σt
value of samples reinforced with BFRP was 11%, 53%, and 66% higher than reinforced with GFRP,
unreinforced, and reinforced PSM, respectively. The ┴σt value of samples joined with oak dowel was 7%, 14%,
and 23% higher than those reinforced with beech, black pine, and control, respectively. Accordingly, the BFRP
and oak dowel (OD) have been the potential to serve as options for reinforced wood structural.

Работа была издана в 1980 г., переведена на русский язык в 2024 г. Несмотря на прошедшее с первого издания время, работа практически не устарела. Изменения в праве с XIII по XV вв. (затрагиваются и другие периоды) рассмотрены на фоне замещения «горизонтальных» связей (прямые контакты сторон споров и правовых отношений) «вертикальными» отношениями, предполагающими вмешательство публичной власти. Представлена критика концепции Д. Кайзера с точки зрения современной исторической и юридической науки, её несомненные достоинства и присущие ей противоречия.

The paper presents an analysis of the work of the American researcher Daniel H. Kaiser “The Growth of Law in Medieval Russia”, reveals the logic and concept of the author. The work was published in 1980, translated into Russian in 2024. Despite the time that has passed since the first edition, the work is practically not outdated. Changes in law from the 13th century to the 15th century are considered against the background of the substitution of “horizontal” relations (direct contacts of the parties to disputes and legal relations) with «vertical» relations involving the intervention of public authorities. The article presents a critique of D. Kaiser's concept from the point of view of modern historical and legal science, its undoubted advantages and inherent contradictions.

The calculation of the capacity and stability of the channels
Authors:   Belarusian National Technical University, Minsk, Belarus, Mihnevich Eduard Ivanovich

The calculation of the channel capacity for a given estimated flow consists in determining the dimensions (or one of them for another given) cross-section. Such a calculation is carried out by selection, for which most often they use a very laborious graph-analytical method. To solve such problems, the author has developed a less laborious technique, using which the channel parameters can be determined directly (without selection) using formulas. Based on a joint solution of the flow continuity equation, formulas for determining the area of the trapezoidal section of the channel and the relationship between its bottom width and depth, a formula is obtained for the channel depth of a hydraulically most advantageous profile. When deriving analytical dependencies, to determine the channel parameters for one given cross-sectional size, a calculation model was used, in which the living cross-section was taken as the standard, providing the highest channel capacity at a given size, with the most advantageous hydraulic radius determined by a special formula. To develop the formulas of permissible speeds, the deterministic equilibrium model in which the object of influence is the soil element in its upper layer is adopted as the calculated one. The soil resistance to erosion is expressed as an indicator of soil strength, taking into account all its basic physical and physico-mechanical characteristics. Values of permissible speeds according to the proposed formulas showed good agreement with the experimental data. Dependences are obtained for determining the particle diameter of coarse-grained bottom loading and slopes. Existing formulas for determining the transporting capacity of the flow and, accordingly, non-silting speed, give results that differ significantly from field data. These formulas do not take into account the inhomogeneity coefficient of suspended sediment and the nature of the resistance during the deposition of particles of various sizes. We have obtained formulas that take these factors into account and give a satisfactory agreement with field observations.

The article describes an examination of odour dispersion from a pig farm, situated near Stary Oskol town in Belgorod Region. The aim of the study was to assess the facility's odour impact on the ambient air of Stary Oskol and to determine the extent of the facility's responsibility for occurrence of malodours in the town, which citizens complained about. With that purpose, main typical air pollution sources were selected and sampled for further analysis with the dynamic olfactometry method. The method consists in sequential dilution of samples with clean odourless air and detection of the dilution degree needed to reach the threshold value. The olfactometric panel consisted of certified experts with average sensitivity to odours. Thus odour concentrations in gas mixtures being emitted from different sources were identified (in odour units per cubic metre, OU/m3 ), and they were used to calculate the corresponding odour emissions (in odour units per hour, OU/h). The contribution of each type of sources into the total emissions was determined: the emissions of the stables account for the largest percentage of the total emissions (94 %). The total odour emission value was used to construct a dispersion map with the help of AERMOD model, which showed the distribution of odour concentrations on the surrounding territories. The odour concentration in Stary Oskol did not exceed 2 OU/m3 , which is considered to be acceptable according to European standards.

Published: February 2025

The reliability of the results of remote remote sensing of reclaimed lands significantly depends on the degree of manifestation of features on the digital image, which most closely reflect the parameters of the reclamation regime of soils. To increase accuracy and efficiency of the probing results, it is proposed to create markers (specialized areas) on the reclaimed zones that adequately reflect the main parameters of the reclamation regime of soils and the state of plants. Drainage areas with variable drainage intensity along the drains length are to be arranged on the drained lands. Position of boundary of waterlogging zone is fixed in section. Parameters of reclamation regime of drained lands are estimated by position of border. Increased doses of nitrogen fertilizers are applied to marker land plot of irrigated land. Intensive growth of the vegetative part of plants is accompanied by increased transpiration. According to the dynamics of the number of plants with subsiding leaves, a decision is made to water the entire array of irrigation. Marker land plot has been tested in the Moscow and Saratov regions. Positive test results were obtained.

The results of studies, the object of which were degraded long-term irrigated lands of the Volga region, are presented. In the process of work, an assessment of the ecological and reclamation state of the lands of the steppe and dry-steppe zones of the Volga region was carried out. A developed set of agro-reclamation measures aimed at preserving and improving soil fertility due to the justified use of crop rotations in the irrigated farming system is proposed. It has been established that the environmental stabilization factor of the landscape – the ratio of the area occupied by agricultural crops that have a stabilizing effect to the area of crops that have a destabilizing effect on the ecology of the landscape - can be considered a limitation in choosing certain crop rotations for operation in irrigated agroland shafts. The value of the environmental stabilization factor of the landscape of 0.5 corresponds to an agroland scale with pronounced instability, 0.5...1.0 – unstable, 1.0...3.0 – conditionally stable, and more than 4.5 – with pronounced stability. When choosing crop rotations, it is important to pay attention to optimizing the size of the crop areas of various crops in terms of their impact on the environment. In irrigated agriculture, the following crop rotation areas are recommended as optimal: vegetable – 100...150 hectares, rice – 600...800 hectares, feed and grain-feed – 300...500 hectares. In the structure of areas, it is planned to divert at least 65% of arable land for fodder crops. In the group of fodder crops, it is advisable to divert about 50% of the area for perennial herbs (alfalfa, boneless boneless, eastern goat, etc.), winter crops and corn should prevail among grain crops.
