Published: November 2020

Research has been conducted to study the cow’s behavioral acts of the Tatarstan type of Kholmogory breed and their relationship with milk productivity in the robotic milking system. It was found that cows spend 706.7 minutes, or 49.1 % of the daily time, in the lying position, and 733.3 minutes, or 50.1 %, in the standing position. Animals spend 283.7 minutes (19.7 % of the daily time) on taking food, 497.3 minutes (34.5 %) on rumination, of which 150 minutes (10.4 %) – standing, 347.3 (24.1) – lying down. 232.3 minutes (16.1 %) of the time the cows stood in one place and were inactive. The movement took 42.7 minutes or 3 % of the daily time. After dividing the cows into 3 groups by productivity was found that highly productive animals were milked 1.9 times more compared to low-productivity animals (4.7 versus 2.7 times). They also spent more time standing (34.5 %), consumed more food (21.0 %), and chewed less cud (13.9 %). Animals assigned to the active and ultra-active groups by the motor activity index outperformed animals of the infro-passive and passive groups by 26.9 % in daily milking.

The analysis of diseases occurring is given in animals in the first 100 DIM. Determined milk content: MF, MP, pH, Ur, BHBA, Ac, calculated FPR. INCD in milk cows in the first 100 DIM is the second most widespread – 30.72 %. Among INCD, DSD and RSD predominate in the former – 38.8 % each, DMEO accounts for 20.4 % of disease cases. In 17.05 % of the examined animals, the FPR corresponded to optimal values, and in 82.95 % it was 1.10 or less, which may indicate the spread of subacute subclinical rumen acidosis in the animals of the studied population. Exceeding the upper limit of FPR, indicating the presence of ketosis in animals, has not been established. Studies revealed a double excess of Ur content in milk, and in animals with normal FPR values, the Ur content was 11.15 % (p < 0.001) higher than in animals with reduced FPR. The pH of milk generally corresponded to the values of the physiological norm. The level of BHBA in milk was below the threshold values, but in the animal’s group with FPR 1.10 or less, the BHBA content in milk significantly (by 80.0 %, p < 0.01) exceeded the BHBA content in animals with normal FPR values. Cows with a normal FPR value, the Ac level in milk was found to exceed the threshold value by 28.57 %, and in animals with low FPR values, the established excess was 141.43 % (p <0.05).

Published: November 2020

The article presents the results of studies on the influence of mineral, biomodified mineral fertilizers and BisolbiFit biologics on the balance of basic nutrients in soil under fallow crops. According to the results of correlation and regression analysis, the total removal (grain plus straw) of basic nutrients strongly depended on the level of grain yield. The increase in grain yield from 2.85 to 3.45 t/ha was accompanied by an increase in the total removal of nitrogen from 73.6 to 130.1 kg/ha, phosphorus – from 30.8 to 68.4 kg/ha, and potassium – from 41.6 to 74.0 kg/ha. The balance of basic nutrients depended not only on the grain yield, but also on the doses of fertilizers applied. For all variants of the experiment, the nitrogen balance was consistently reduced from –55.4 to –22.1 kg/ha as the yield increased from 2.85 to 3.45 t/ha. The phosphorus balance decreased from –52.4 to –30.8 kg/ha, and its negative balance increased from background 1 (zero) to background 3 (½ NH4NO3m). The balance of potassium, as well as the balance of nitrogen and phosphorus, was negative for all variants of the experiment, and decreased from –60.9 to –40.0 kg/ha.

Authors: Vinogradov Vasiliy , Gibadullin Radik , Gumerov Anvar
Published: November 2020

The present article is devoted to the modeling of a gas-air flow at the nozzle of the energy machine designed for the use in the agricultural sector. The machine has an option of secure vibro-drying of grain crops and their control, which increases the drying performance both in the steady-state and transient modes. The article also presents a mathematical model describing acoustic processes in a flow part of the energy machine and suggests the ways to improve them for their safe operation. The authors outline the principles of construction of complex drying systems of aero-acoustic cartography, which allow controlling the parameters of energy machines serving grain crops drying and the climatic parameters depending on the volume of grain dryers. This is very important for productivity increase and automated control in real time, supplemented by methods and means of measurements of gas-dynamic parameters in the flow and at the nozzle of the energy machine. These methods are aimed at increasing information capacity and the level of algorithmic non-destructive condition monitoring of rotor blades as well as providing data in terms of parametric and structural uncertainties of the gas-air flow as controlled by the internal cross-section of the flow part, and the output section of the energy machine. Statistical approaches are used to determine the coordinates of sensors and the recovery error on the example of a model problem for monitoring the radiation field created by a continuous monopole emitter. The possibility of using fiber technologies for vibro-drying of grain is a new contribution to the improvement and effective management of grain drying process.

Published: November 2020

The yields of modern intensive varieties of buckwheat in arid regions are highly susceptible to adverse hydrothermal growing conditions. The selection of optimal compositions and technologies for using modern agrochemicals that provide an adaptogenic effect and a favourable vegetation regime of plants can be an effective way to stabilize the grain production of this warm-loving but the drought-resistant crop. Scientists have poorly studied these issues and the issues of efficient use of mineral nutrition resources in buckwheat. They studied the responsiveness of buckwheat varieties, that differ in the morphological and biological characteristics of plants, to the foliar application by Yara concentrated complex water-soluble fertilizers containing macroand microelements.The data obtained indicate the presence of varietal specificity, which manifests itself to varying degrees of plant responsiveness to foliar application in the formation of leaf area, grain yield and quality indicators of the crop. The authors made conclusions about the preferred dates for foliar application with the studied Yara complex micronutrient fertilizers. When the foliar application of microelements in the phase of the beginning of grain formation, the K-850 cultivar had the highest yield and the best quality parameters of grains. For the K-899 cultivar, the application in the russeting phase was most effective for grains and affected the best plumpness of the grains. The more powerful morphological potential of Batyr plants was not realized by an adequate increase in yield for the performed feeding. The authors observed a slight tendency to decrease the crude protein content in grains during the foliar application which is probably due to the inverse correlation of this trait with the formation rate of the organic mass of plants.

The article presents the histological studies of replacement chickens’ spleen. The predominance of medium lymphocytes over small ones in the periarterial area was noted after vaccination with “Raspol” being an immunostimulant against chicken infectious bronchitis. In the periarterial area, the predominance of medium lymphocytes over small ones was noted. The lumen profiles of the central, trabecular arteries were well defined, and there were no signs of connective tissue disorganization in their walls. The marginal part of the lymph nodules also remained well defined especially from the inner border and consisted of a large number of small lymphocytes and fewer medium ones. However, its width decreased markedly compared to the previous period of the organ examination. The indicated changes denote the signs of lymphoid cell hyperplasia in the lymph nodes, with a weak severity or absence of the consequences of the vaccine reactogenic effect on the connective tissue of the organ. In the birds receiving Fosprenil during immunization, the stimulation of lymphoproliferative activity continued during the first two weeks after vaccination and by the end of the one-month period it was not detected. However, signs of moderate postvaccination disorganization of the connective tissue components were observed at all follow-up periods. 28 days after vaccination, lymphoproliferative processes weakened markedly and signs accompanied by moderate disorganization of the components in connective tissue persisted in the spleen of the control group of birds.

Authors: Kirakosyan Rima , Kapristova Inna , Kalashnikova Elena
Published: November 2020

Camelina sativa L. is an underutilized Brassicaceae oilseed plant with a considerable agronomic potential for biofuel and vegetable oil production in temperate zones. Unlike most Brassicaceae, Camelina sativa L. is resistant to Alternaria black and many other diseases and pests. Camellia is a hardy plant; this allows it to grow in different soil and climate conditions. In addition, the crop does not require much use of pesticides. It is characterized by frost-resistance and relatively high growth rates at low temperatures, precocity and the ability to tolerate soil or air drought. The research investigates effect of coherent light on the seed quality of Camelina sativa L. It reveals that treating the seeds with coherent light for 60 and 120 seconds leads to an increase in their sowing qualities, plant productivity and changes of the seed quality.

Published: November 2020

To improve the quality and effectiveness of pre-sowing treatment of seeds of grain crops, a hypothesis was put forward on the possibility of using the air flow to continuously perform a set of technological operations in the process of dressing. The proposed approach is implemented in a unrivalled pneumomechanical deresser, in the processing chamber of which a multiphase flow of dispersed mixture “air-seeds-droplet” is formed. For the theoretical justification of the main parameters of the processing process, a mathematical model of the movement of seeds and fine droplets of the working fluid was developed and numerically solved taking into account the decrease in their concentration along the length of the working chamber. As a result, it was found that the speeds of seeds and drops of different sizes as they move in the processing chamber naturally increase, and the concentration of drops decreases asymptotically. It was revealed that to ensure high quality processing at the entrance to the processing chamber, the seeds should move in suspension with the speed of the corresponding droplet speed of the working fluid. The minimum path length of the “air-seed-droplet” mixture is substantiated, where the maximum decrease in the concentration of drops occurs due to the adhesion of seeds suspended in the air flow to the surface. The results obtained are important for optimizing the length of the processing chamber, substantiating the modes and parameters of the movement of air, grain and drops, at which full coverage of seeds with a minimum flow rate of the working fluid is achieved. In the long term, the research results will serve as the basis for optimizing the design and technological parameters of pneumomechanical dressers, which ensure high quality and efficiency of pre-sowing treatment of seeds of grain crops.

Published: November 2020

Pathomorphological study of the neonatal period piglets of ontogenesis from the pig breeding complex obtained from sows that were given feed contaminated with mycotoxins during pregnancy and after parturition was carried out. Pathological changes in the internal organs of piglets, characterized by various dystrophic and inflammatory processes resulting from the influence of mycotoxins, were established. Edema and congestion in the lungs of piglets is noted as a sign of circulation failure in the body. Signs of interstitial pneumonia are detected with areas of chronic alveolar emphysema and atelectasis. Signs of granular dystrophy were noted in the heart in cardiomyocytes. Interstitial connective tissue has signs of edema; the swelling of blood vessel walls is noted. The morphofunctional state of the thyroid gland in piglets, taking into account changes in the organ structure, is characterized as a macro-microfollicular proliferating colloid goiter. The border smoothness between white and red pulp, hyperemia of blood vessels and the small number of lymphatic nodules with a size decrease are noted in the spleen. The demarcation clarity of white pulp into separate structural zones is not diagnosed in lymphatic nodules. Signs of catarrhal enteritis and chronic catarrhal colitis with a tendency to its transition to atrophic catarrh are detected in the small and large intestines of the gastrointestinal tract. Hepatocytes have mild signs of granular dystrophy in the lobules of the piglets’ liver. Protein hepatosis signs interspersed with areas of necrobiosis are identified in separate lobules of the organ against the background of general atrophy of hepatocytes. Granular dystrophy signs with the phenomena of its desquamation in certain areas are revealed in the convoluted tubules of kidney nephrons in epithelial cells. Part of epithelial cells of the nephron tubule is subject to necrobiotic processes. Thickening of the basic capillary membrane with glomerulitis is noted in the glomerulus of the renal corpuscle. Edema and mild lymphocyte-macrophage infiltration with the phenomena of the mucoid swelling of blood vessel walls is observed in the interstitial organ tissue.

Published: November 2020

The article discusses the ways to increase the efficiency of the use of commodity stocks and supplies in the course of production and sale. It is argued that the improvement of the organization of material management is one of the most important factors in the increase of the efficiency of using huge volumes of raw materials in agricultural production along with the introduction of new equipment and technology. The implementation of this concept in large agricultural facilities provides savings of millions of rubles a year by reducing the level of stocks, accelerating the turnover of funds invested in materials, technical equipment, etc., which gives the same profit growth as the increase of the sales of products by 20 %. The main tools of the mechanism for the mobilization of these reserves are considered: further improvement of the existing linear-functional apparatus due to the redistribution of rights and responsibilities for the management of the material and technical flow between different units in order to coordinate their work and the use in the field of stock management of logistics structures. It is proposed that in the formation of logistics systems, the main attention should be focused not so much on organizing the work of each of the functional subsystems of management individually, but on the coordination of their efforts to achieve the ultimate goals of integrated agricultural formation.

A modern animal husbandry needs balanced feeding with rational use of feed and the maximum involvement of unconventional feed. At the same time, issues of increasing the nutritional value of feeds, improving quality, reducing the share of cereals remain urgent, since they occupy a significant part in the composition of the diet and cost structure. The application of modern feed processing technologies increases the efficiency of their use, increases the performance of animal husbandry, as evidenced by numerous experiments. The organization of feed production based on own feed resources significantly reduces the cost of production. The application of a number of technologies has been discussed and justified, which allows obtaining feed with high zootechnical and consumer characteristics, as well as with high rates of nutrition, digestibility and biological value with a significant reduction in the cost of feeding.

Published: November 2020

The article presents the results of treatment of aseptic meningoencephalitis in dogs of dwarf breeds. Diagnostics included a thorough neurological examination: assessment of mental status, ability to perform diagnostic tests, proprioceptive and postural reaction, the consistency and symmetry of cranial reflexes, including of pupil response to light and response to the threat, the presence of involuntary movements and forced poses, the intensity of the muscle tone and tendon reflexes. If an animal is suspected of having a brain lesion, other possible causes of encephalopathy were excluded. For this purpose, a General blood test was performed (to detect signs of inflammation, anemia); a detailed biochemical blood test (excluding renal and hepatic encephalopathy, indirect signs of the presence of a portosystemic shunt); if a portosystemic shunt was suspected, a blood test for bile acids was performed; when excluding all other causes of damage to the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was performed with contrast with the use of the drug OmniScan. During the magnetic resonance imaging, multiple foci were detected in all parts of the brain, including in the thalamus and trunk; including in some animals, foci that have a tendency to decay and form a necrotic cavity. It was established that before the start of treatment, animals had a wobbly gait, convulsive signs, a comatose state in some dogs, and weak visual reflexes. As a result of studies of morphological and biochemical parameters of blood in dogs, it was found that all the data obtained were within the reference values and did not have significant significance in the diagnosis of aseptic meningoencephalitis. Against the background of etiotropic and symptomatic therapy, positive dynamics was observed in patients with aseptic meningoencephalitis.

Eco-phenomenology in the local concept of Buginese agriculture based on Kutika manuscript
Authors: Rahmatia  , Christomy Tommy
Published: November 2020

The way Bugis people adapt to nature has been contained in the book of Lontara’, which is called Kutika. Kutika’s scriptwriting background was full of philosophies and religious influences when the script was created. The philosophical calculation time shows how Buginese humans talk to nature, read signs, and treat nature as an equal element, not as an object. This philosophical triggered the writer to see it from ecophenomenology by Saras Dewi and Heidegger’s perspective. This research applies a philological approach with a critical edition method to translate the manuscript, then linking text analysis with ecophenomenology. Through the eco-phenomenology approach, local concepts in the Kutika text regarding the use of natural pesticides (biopesticides) can be described. Eco-phenomenology views humans and nature as equal entities. This is in line with the Bugis perspective, which views pests not as the enemy but as friends who should be fed first. Lontara’ Kutika shows that since hundreds of years ago, the Bugis people have had modern agriculture techniques with their local knowledge. The knowledge that is considered ancient is needed as an alternative to solve environmental problems today.

Published: November 2020

Trained and technically equipped human resources are the nations’ assets and an essential requirement for sustainable national development. The skilled labor force required for the industrial revolution can never be undermined while it can be used as a powerful weapon for poverty reduction. Women presenting almost half of the world population can be economically empowered through vocational and technical training and the fifth sustainable development goal “achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls with disabilities” can be achieved through this training. Different vocational and technical training programs have been proven to produce technically skilled human resources in different developing countries. However, such programs also have the limitations of accommodating a high percent of trainees in jobs or self-employment. The study aimed to sort out the determinants of these training programs’ low success rates in Sindh province of Pakistan. A total of 128 surveys were filled from randomly selected women who have completed their trainings in the last two years. Data were analyzed through cross-tabulation analysis on SPSS and AMOS. It is used to establish the relationship between training trades and employability, age group and employability and income group of the beneficiaries’ households, and their employability after completing the different technical and vocational training pieces. Results showed that around 35% of the selected women were ever employed after getting the training while significant relationships among the variables also resulted. It has been proven that the importance of technical and vocational training programs cannot be falsified. However, proper selection criteria must be followed, and only severe and needy beneficiaries should be selected through proper assessment. Need assessments for the training programs should be carried out while efforts for achieving employment as an outcome of such training programs are mandatory.

The crucial role of wastewater management contributes to the need for full government support. The impact of water pollution is a significant challenge to human health and well-being, which is one of the priorities of sustainable development, namely achieving universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water and sanitation by 2030. DKI Jakarta is one of the major Indonesian cities facing Domestic Wastewater Management System (SPALD) challenges. This study used a constructivist paradigm and a qualitative approach. The data was gathered through field research and Focused Group Discussion. This study aims to analyze the challenges in providing safe sanitation as a public good in DKI Jakarta. This study has shown that PD PAL Jaya, SPALD operator in DKI Jakarta, has encountered several challenges, including the challenge of constructing the infrastructure due to the absence of the SPALD pipeline network in City Planning. Lack of private sector investment and insufficient state/local budget support slow progress in improving sanitation infrastructure. Public apathy concerning wastewater management problems and believing that this problem should require government interference also exacerbate the government’s challenge. Consider their characteristics as public services; government intervention is critical to ensure that these services are delivered safely and adequately.

Published: November 2020

Present paper examines the dependency of ambient parameters such as humidity, and turbulence to determine the conditions on raindrop formation with the help of a self-designed cloud chamber. The research methods are experimental and observational in nature, where atmospheric phenomena are recreated through the usage of appropriate substitutes. Miniature droplets were created inside a box-like setup through the use of dry ice to cool the water vapor rising up, so as to create suspended water droplets, and to induce precipitation of heavier droplets. The experiment resulted in the creation of precipitated droplets, which were found at the base of the chamber at 99-100% relative humidity. The suspended droplets were used to study factors such as luminosity and variation of droplet sizes with turbulence. It was found that up to 14.4 m/s of turbulence, the droplet sizes increase with an increase in turbulence, with the luminosity decreasing with increase in turbulence. The gaussian profile of droplet size distribution has also been obtained, with a standard deviation of 2.83, 3.01 and 3.18 for low, medium and high turbulence speeds respectively. The experiment can be extended to incorporate a higher number of variables, so as to include a wider range of atmospheric phenomena.
Increasing indoor air quality by a natural sanitizing interior
Authors: Tkachenko Tetiana , Mileikovskyi Viktor
Published: November 2020

Low air quality is one of the most widespread reasons for diseases of respiratory, cardiovascular, immune, and nervous systems. The work aims to improve indoor air quality using the most natural method – indoor phytoncide plants. R. Koch’s sedimentation method has been used. The rule of V. L. Omelianskyi calculated the total viable number. Phytoncide activity was estimated by tests of leaf disks in Petri dishes with evenly seeded microbes. Researches in a high school showed a very high total viable number after studies – up to 6000 CFU/cm3. Tests of leaf disks allowed ranging the commonly used indoor plants by phytoncide activity. The most active large-size plants are Citrus limon and Ficus benjamina. From small-size plants, Azalea and Fuchsia were recommended. Amaryllis and Phoenix dactylifera have the lowest phytoncide activity. Final tests of indoor air showed the possibility of decreasing the total viable number in the high school rooms 2.5-3.5 times.

Published: November 2020

The work is devoted to determining the natural frequencies and vibration modes of a circular arch using the numerical-analytical boundary elements method. A differential equation of the natural vibrations of the arch is obtained, a complete system of its fundamental solutions is determined, a transcendental frequency equation is constructed, the arch is calculated based on the obtained analytical dependencies, and the results are compared with the results of finite element analysis. For 10 possible combinations of the roots of the equation of the characteristic equation, 360 fundamental functions are calculated. An example of calculating a circular arch for free vibrations by the method of the authors is considered. The search for the roots of the transcendental frequency equation can be carried out by the method of successive approximations, using any programming environment. Here used MATLAB. As a result of the calculation, the first five frequencies of the natural vibrations of the arch were obtained. Their comparison with those calculated in the ANSYS program shows that the spectrum of natural frequencies calculated by the boundary element method is slightly lower (except for the first frequency) than the spectrum calculated by the finite element method, which indicates greater reliability of the results of the boundary element method.

Indonesia’s power generation capacity increased by 3% to reach 64.5 GW from 20017 to 2018, where 86% of the power plants that have been built are fossil-fueled. Limited resources and the impact arising from the production process will impact the environment, thus hindering sustainable development. Therefore, it is needed to set indicators that can be used to evaluate power generation’s sustainability to improve the community’s welfare. This research aims to find sustainability indicators that can be used to assess the electrical power generation system. A total of 51 articles from the snowball sampling approach was analyzed using a qualitative systematic literature review and quantitative method. We found 43 indicators covering economic, social, and environmental dimensions that can be used to assessed Indonesia’s electrical power generation’s sustainability.
