Ultra-Low NOx Emissions with a Close-Coupled Emission Control System on a Heavy-Duty Truck Application
Authors: Mendoza Villafuerte Pablo , Demuynck Joachim , Bosteels Dirk , Recker Patrick , Wilkes Thomas , Menne-Robb Lynzi
Published: September 2021

Heavy-duty vehicles represent a significant portion of road transport and they need to operate in a clean and efficient manner. Their emission control systems need to be enhanced to sustain the high conversion efficiencies seen during motorway conditions inother operating conditions. The European Commission is developing legislative proposals for Euro 7 emissions regulations for light- and heavy-duty vehicles. The new Euro 7regulation will likely focus on ensuring the emissions from heavy-duty vehicles are minimized over extensive on-road operating conditions and specifically on operating conditions such as urban driving and cold-start operation. These challenges are increased by the need to ensure low secondary emissions like NH3 and N2O, as well as a low impact on CO2 emissions. The paper outlines the low pollutant emissions achieved by a heavy-duty Diesel demonstrator vehicle. The vehicle is equipped with an innovative layout of state-of-the-art emission control technologies, combined with an advanced controlstrategy on an existing Euro VI long-haul truck. The new emissions control system integrates a close-coupled DOC, a catalyzed DPF, dual-SCR system -one in a close-coupled position-, with twin AdBlue® dosing controlled withFEV developed software. Both SCR catalysts contain an ammonia slip catalyst. The innovative system layout allows ultra-low NOx emissions and well controlled secondary emissions in even the most challenging conditions with minimal impact on CO2 emissions. Pollutant emissions were evaluated over a broad range of operating conditions, including different payloads to show the emissions reduction potential. This paper also includes results obtained from the on-road Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS) testing.

Are Spillover Effects Between Oil and Gold Prices Asymmetric? Evidence From the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Huang Wenli , Wu Mian
Published: September 2021

Our research explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the asymmetric spillover effects in the oil and gold markets. Through a VAR(p)-BEKK-AGARCH(1,1) model fitted to daily gold and oil price data, 1) we find evidence of spillover only from the oil to the gold market and that this effect is stronger during the pandemic and 2) we conclude that a negative information shock in the oil market has a larger impact on gold return volatility compared to a positive shock and that this asymmetric spillover effect intensified during the pandemic.

Based on monthly data from July 2007 to June 2021, we use a structural vector autoregression model to investigate the effect of economic policy uncertainty. We find that economic policy uncertainty has a negative effect on the energy stock market in China. In addition, the energy stock market is positively affected by the country’s overall stock market.
Problems of qualification of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict in the context of the process of federalization of the Russian Republic of 1917-1922.
Authors: Бежанов А.В.
Published: September 2021

Автор статьи выявляет неверную квалификацию так называемого грузино-осетинского конфликта, вызванную ошибочной исторической интерпретацией международной правосубъектности сторон конфликта. На основании метода исторко-правового анализа документов и норм национального и международного права в настоящей статье описывается факт вхождения единой Осетии в состав РСФСР в 1921 году. На основании этого факта в статье рассматривается правосубъектность двух суверенных государств (ГССР и РСФСР) в контексте правомочности их юрисдикции на территории Осетии, для политико-правового анализа ответственности каждого из них за нарушение целостности Осетии и этнического суверенитета осетин. В силу неделимого качества этнического суверенитета осетин, она путем самоопределения могла быть передана только одному федеративному государству – Российской Федерации. Автор статьи квалифицирует конфликт как грузино-российский, что открывает совершенно новый подход к урегулированию конфликта посредством переноса его на открытый равносторонний международный уровень.

Investigating the problems of the so-called Georgian-South Ossetian confl ict, the author of the article revealed an incorrect qualifi cation of the confl ict caused by an erroneous historical interpretation of the international legal personality of the parties to the confl ict.Based on the method of historical and legal analysis of documents and norms of national and international law, this article reveals the fact of the entry of united Ossetia into the RSFSR in 1921. Based on this fact, the article examines the legal personality of two sovereign states (the SSR of Georgia and the RSFSR) in the context of the legitimacy of their jurisdiction on the territory of Ossetia, for a political and legal analysis of the responsibility of each of them for violating the integrity of Ossetia and the ethnic sovereignty of the Ossetians. Due to the indivisible quality of the ethnic sovereignty of the Ossetians, it could be transferred by self – determination to only one federal state-the Russian Federation. Due to this fact, and the impeccable international legal personality of Georgia and Russia as actual members of the UN, the author of the article qualifi es the confl ict as Georgian-Russian, which opens up a completely new approach to resolving the confl ict by transferring it to an open equilateral international level.

Authors: Nimmi M Menon  , Manjunath Adiga  , Amritha E Pady
Published: September 2021

Parkinson’s disease (PD) known as Kampavata in Ayurveda, is a degenerative neurological disorder of central nervous system, mainly affecting the motor system. It is the major cause of disability in the aging society, which usually affects after the age of 50 years. This disease is increasing in its frequency with the world population showing an incidence of 1-2 per 1000 population and has equal sex distribution. Symptoms like Kampa (Tremor), Stambha (Rigidity), Chestasanga (Bradykinesia and Akinesia), Vakvikriti (disturbance in speech) etc were described in different contexts of Charaka Samhita, Susruta Samhita and Basavarajeeyam. There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but medications, surgery and multidisciplinary management can provide relief and improve the quality of life of the individual. In the treatment aspect, the drug L-Dopa has shown better results similarly Ayurvedic drugs having the similar compounds are useful in this disorder. Based on the symptoms manifested, the disease can be correlated to Kampavata mentioned in Ayurveda classics. Despite of so many advances in the field of medicine, treatment of PD remains highly symptomatic. This instills the need for Ayurvedic management of Kampavata. The present article is intended to focus on the Nidana, Lakshanas, Samprapthi and the management principles of Parkinson’s disease (Kampavata).

Published: September 2021

Plants serve as a very rich source of bioactive molecules, which are used to treat various acute and chronic diseases in Ayurveda. Medicinal plant materials are formulated into various types of Ayurvedic medicine either by ancient or modern methods where standardization plays a pivotal role for authentication. Standardization confirms the identity, quality and purity of drugs. WHO has set up various parameters to evaluate the crude drugs and their finished products. Now a day’s application of several modern analytical techniques has become inevitable for evaluating quality, safety and efficacy of the polyherbal Ayurvedic formulations. Out of several formulations available in Ayurveda, Anjana is considered as unique in Shalakya Tantra due to its various forms (which are prepared by different ways). This article is about the formation of Nagaradi Anjana as ointment which can be taken as a form of Raskriyanjana. Most of the ingredients of Nagaradi ointment are Chakshushya i.e., good for eyes and also have Kaphashamak properties. That is why they are useful in ocular diseased conditions which have dominance of Kapha dosha like Kaphaja Abhishyanda. Keeping all these points in view, the present study has been undertaken with the aim to make the Ayurvedic formulation in the form of Raskriya Anjana or ointment, from the herbal drugs, mentioned in Astanga Sangrah, an Ayurvedic classical text and to develop the physiochemical profile of it. The eye ointment was prepared by using vaseline as base which is mixed with powdered Ghana Satva of the herbal drugs.

Published: September 2021

Renal failure causes a significant rise in the creatinine level, urea nitrogen, fluctuation in serum potassium and high sodium level in the blood. In 2017, 1.2 million deaths of CKD were reported world widely. Kidney transplant, peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis are some modern methods used to treat renal failure in allopathy. These therapies and treatment are very expensive and unaffordable by the people of low income and middle-income countries. In India, Ayurveda is a conventional practice which is used since ancient times to treat number of disorders without any side effects. A case report of renal failure patient using Ayurvedic treatment is well defined here. A 53-year-old married Sikh, non-alcoholic, nonsmoking male diagnosed with renal failure presented in the Divya Upchar Sansthan, Chandigarh on October 2020. The patient was clinically assessed by Jeebha pariksha (tongue examination) and Naadi pariksha (pulse examination). Patient was administered with Ayurvedic medicines for the duration of six month of treatment. Patient was investigated for the functioning of kidney and hemoglobin before and after initiating Ayurvedic treatment which indicated an improvement in urea, creatinine and uric acid level. From this case study it is shown that chronic kidney disease can be managed by using Ayurvedic treatment without the need of hemodialysis.

CURRENT HONEY MARKET IN INDIA - VOLUME AND VALUE
Authors: Ramashrit Singh
Published: September 2021

Honey is known for its dietary as well as medicinal uses in India. India was leading the global honey business till the colonial rule took over the honey into its hands. The beehives were traditionally harvested till 19th century and Europeans as well as British introduced beekeeping in India. Since then, beekeeping has become another way of livelihood for the rural communities and tribes. However, the activity remains unorganized for various reasons including logistics and migration. Gradually, National Bee Board was established and recently National Beekeeping and Honey Mission is launched. It is estimated that more than 5 lakh farmers / beekeepers are associated with the honey production in this country. The data on the volume and value of honey is still missing therefore an attempt has been made in this paper by using the top to bottom approach. This data would help the traders as well as the government to focus on the financials of honey trade.
Foucauldian biopower, homo sacer and resistance under the Taliban rule in Afghanistan
Authors: Malik Tasleem , Jan Faizullah
Published: September 2021

This paper uses a qualitative discourse analysis to examine the plight of women under the Taliban rule in Afghanistan (1996-2001) as depicted in Siddiq Barmak’s film Osama. Contributing to the debates on the status of women during a regime of terror under the Taliban the paper uses Foucault’s biopolitics and Agamben’s concept of homo sacer to analyse how women under the Taliban rule were subjected to the technologies of control and regulation and reduced to bare lives stripped of their basic rights. It also critically examines resistance as depicted in the film as a survival strategy for women in the face of a tyrannical regime. The paper argues that though resistance, which is ‘a weapon of the weak,’ does not promise a change in the destiny, it still reflects the agency of women and a challenge to the hegemonic masculine order. We conclude by arguing that through the ‘use of memory’, as a mode of resistance the film sends out a message to all the stakeholders to keep in mind the atrocities and violence experienced by the people in Afghanistan, particularly women while striking any political deal with the Taliban.

Published: September 2021

Objective: to conduct comparative analysis of blood biochemical parameters (urea, ALT, AST, creatinkinase, cortisol, testosterone and testosterone / cortisol ratio) in groups of high­class wrestlers with different levels of sports achievements.

Materials and methods: male athletes (n = 78), members of the Russian national team in one of the types of wrestling (the average age is 25.2 (21.5–28.9) years, the average weight is 76.9 (68.4–83.4) kg) were recruited to this study. The examined athletes were divided into two groups according to their sporting achievements. The first one — SHA group (super­high achievements) which included athletes (n = 19) who had victories and prizes at the largest international competitions (European, World, Olympic Games), and the second group — MNT group (members of the national team) which included athletes that did not have similar achievements (n = 59). The following biochemical parameters were studied: urea, creatine kinase, ALT, AST, testosterone, cortisol, anabolic index (AI).

Results: the absolute values of all metabolites in the examined athletes were within the reference intervals. Statistically significant differences in most of the biochemical parameters were revealed between the compared groups in terms of the level of sports achievements. The SHA group showed a statistically significant shift in relation to MNT group, in direction of increasing the level of metabolites that characterize the predominance of anabolic processes — ALT, testosterone, AI. Metabolite levels, increase which reflects catabolic processes activity and inadequate or insufficient adaptation processes, in the SHA group were significantly lower than in the MNT group. The above changes of the absolute values of biochemical parameters were confirmed by correlation analysis.

Conclusions: the obtained results allow us to state the optimal adaptation of this sport, the adequacy of metabolic processes in the group of highly qualified athletes.

Authors: Vaguine Yu. E.
Published: September 2021

Objective: to investigate the role of psychophysiological processes in achieving sports results.

Materials and methods: the driving force of sports behavior was measured in free­divers, basketball players and athletes, which consisted of motivation to achieve sports results, emotional stress, situational information, hypoxic stability, and physical endurance. Then the sportsmen rotated the pedals of the bicycle ergometer with simultaneous intermittent breath holdings from 20 to 60 s.

Results: it has been established that all components of the driving force of behavior are necessary for the sports activity of all groups of sportsmen. For the driving force of free­divers’ behavior, hypoxic stability is of greatest importance (r = 0.59), for basketball players — emotional stress (r = 0.6) and for athletes — emotional stress and situational information (r = 0.71 and 0.58). In addition, hypoxic stability and physical endurance directly affect the final sports result (r = 0.7 and 0.65) in conjunction with the driving force of behavior (r = 0.53).

Conclusion: sports result is provided by the driving force behind the behavior of sportsmen. For free­divers, hypoxic stability is of primary importance, for basketball players — physical endurance and emotional stress, and for athletes — the totality of all components of the driving force of behavior.

Authors: Sorokina E. Yu. , Pogozheva A. V. , Nikityuk D. B.
Published: September 2021

Objective: to study the effect of genetic polymorphisms: rs rs9939609 (FTO gene), rs4994 (ADRB3 gene), rs1042713 (ADRB2 gene), rs2228570 (VDR gene), rs1801133 (MTHFR gene) on anthropometric and lipid metabolism indicators in athletes representing martial arts.

Materials and methods: studies of anthropometric and biochemical parameters, genetic polymorphisms were carried out in 120 athletes (101 men and 19 women) who are engaged in martial arts. Anthropometric studies were performed by measuring height (cm), body weight (kg), followed by calculating body mass index (BMI, kg / m2). Biochemical nutritional status markers were determined using the ABX Pentra 400 analyzer (HORIBA ABX SAS, France) in an automatic mode. Genotyping was performed using allele­specific amplification using TaqMan probes complementary to polymorphic DNA regions and real­time detection of the results using reagent kits from Syntol, Russia. Studies were performed on the device CFX96 Real Time System (Bio­Rad, USA). Statistical processing of the results was performed using the PASW Statistics 20 system.

Results: as a result of generic Diovan athletes martial artists on the risk of non­communicable diseases, discovered that the frequency of allele A of rs9939609 polymorphism of the FTO gene they have is 43.9 %, allele polymorphism rs4994 ADRB3 gene — 10.9 %, G allele of rs1042713 ADRB2 gene polymorphism — 52.6 %, G allele of the polymorphism rs2228570 VDR gene with 44.9 % and allele t of rs1801133 in the MTHFR gene to 36.7 %. An association was found between the value of anthropometric indicators in male martial artists and the presence of polymorphisms rs9939609 (FTO), rs1042713 (ADRB2) and rs2228570 (VDR).

Conclusions: the reason for the identified dyslipidemia in martial artists may be not only the previously detected violations of the structure of their nutrition, but also the presence of certain genetic polymorphisms, in particular, rs4994 of the ADRB3 gene and rs1042713 of the ADRB2 gene.

Published: September 2021

Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of psychocorrection based on the methods of self­regulation in athletes.

Materials and methods: the effectiveness was evaluated on 104 male athletes who had an optimal level of psychoemotional state of the body during a background examination by electroencephalography (EEG). The subjects were randomly assigned to three groups of psychocorrection: control, EEGtraining, and VR­therapy. Mathematical and statistical processing was carried out in Statistica 7.

Results: the average values of the wave intensity index (WII) after psychological correction using the following methods: EEG­training and VRtherapy showed positive EEG dynamics in athletes of the second group (EEG­training) 65,6 % (21) and the third group (Vr­therapy) 73,8 % (31) of the subjects, respectively. Whereas in the control group, self­healing was recorded in 9 (30 %) athletes without psychocorrection procedures.

Conclusion: the quantitative criterion of WII is a universal informative indicator of the functional activity of the brain for evaluating the effectiveness of psychocorrection aimed at optimizing the psychoemotional state. Psychocorrection of athletes using EEG­training and VR­therapy provides efficiency in 73.8 and 65.6 % of cases, which significantly softens pre­start tension as a result of reducing anxiety and restoring the psychoemotional state of the body to an optimal level by involving the psychological reserve.

Authors: Habiburrahman Muhammad , Lesmana Elvira , Harmen Fadhilah , Gratia Nadya , Mirtha Listya Tresnanti
Published: September 2021

Background. Poor sleep and excessive fatigue among workers can reduce well-being and physical fitness. However, not many studies have mentioned how sleeping deprivation among night-shift healthcare workers impacted their work performance in multiple aspects.

Method. We conducted an evidence-based case report (EBCR) of a night shift nurse who was worried about the impact of her sleep deprivation on her work performance in the future due to prior history of needle-stick injuries. We aimed to determine whether sleeping deprivation caused by regular night shifts leads to decreased work performance among night-shift healthcare workers by formulating a clinical question. Evidence was searched systematically using five major journal databases (Proquest, EBSCO-Host, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane) and was assessed thoroughly using inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results. Eleven eligible studies were obtained with a medium level of evidence (III-IV), three systematic reviews with meta-analyses (SR-MA), three SR without MA, and five observational studies. All of them were analyzed and critically appraised using Oxford Evidence-Based Medicine and Joanna Briggs Institute tools. We found that reduced quantity and quality of sleep impacted all dimensions of work performance among healthcare professionals, be it in task performance (e.g., skill proficiency), contextual performance (e.g., communication skill and mental health issues), and patient and health worker safety (accident and medication error). It could also encourage counterproductive work behavior, such as absenteeism. Furthermore, sleep deprivation changes circadian rhythms, causing decreased information processing and affective recognition functions in some vital brain areas, ultimately affecting several work dimensions.

Conclusion. In conclusion, stakeholders need to adjust proper shift scheduling for health care workers, practice sleep hygiene, maintain physical fitness, and consume nutritional food, positively correlated to health and productivity.

Basın ve yayın faaliyetlerinin etkili bir şekilde yürütülmesi ancak özgür bir ortamın varlığında söz konusudur. Bilindiği gibi kitle iletişimin araçlarında düşüncelerin özgürce ifade edilmesinin sosyal, kültürel ve siyasal hayatın gelişimine katkısı yadsınamaz. Ancak birçok ülke de örnekleri görüldüğü gibi, iktidarlar basın ve yayının gücünden korktukları için sansür, ya da vergi yoluyla baskı kurmaya çalışmışlardır. XIX. yüzyılın ortalarında Azerbaycan’da ilk yayın organlarının ortaya çıkması, idari yönden ayrılarak İran sınırlarının kuzeyinde bulunup Güney Azerbaycan’da yaşayan halkın edebî, sosyal açıdan zayıflamış iletişimin geliştirilmesine teşvik edici bir rol oynadı. Azerbaycan Türk aydınları Güney Azerbaycan'da maarif, kültür, eğitim işlerinin yanı sıra, basının gelişimi ve yaygınlaşmasında etkin bir rol almışlardır. Asırlardır İran'ın pekiştirilmesi ve terakkisinde temel rol oynayan, Azerbaycanlılar bugün de kendi haklarını korumak için savaşmaktadırlar. Bu çalışma XIX. ve XX.

Exploring the Role of Occupational Therapy With Mothers Who Breastfeed
Authors: Sponseller Lauren , Silverman Fern , Roberts Pamela
Published: September 2021

Importance: Occupational therapy practitioners can play a pivotal role in supporting breastfeeding mothers as they transition to and form new routines for this occupation.

Objective: To explore whether occupational therapy programming can assist breastfeeding mothers in reaching their personal occupation-based wellness goals.

Design: Mixed-methods design that involved development of an occupational profile and a goal attainment scale (GAS). After the intervention, participants rescored their GAS goals and completed a semistructured exit interview.

Setting: Nonprofit lactation center located in the suburbs of a large mid-Atlantic U.S. city.

Participants: Women recruited through convenience sampling who had been breastfeeding an infant for <6 mo, who were not currently weaning, and who had met with a lactation consultant at least once since giving birth were eligible (N = 17).

Intervention: Group occupational therapy that consisted of 10 weekly 1-hr sessions. Topics were based on occupational profiles, GAS scores, and lactation consultant input.

Outcomes and Measures: Each participant created and scored three goals using the GAS before and after the intervention.

Results: Data from 14 of the 17 participants were analyzed. The average postintervention GAS score was 56.50 (M = 50), indicating that most personal wellness goals were reached. Thematic analysis revealed that occupational therapy programming helped mothers persevere with breastfeeding, feel more confident as new parents, and value both themselves and their baby.

Conclusions and Relevance: There is an increasing role for occupational therapy practitioners in helping new mothers reach their personal wellness goals in ways that support their ability to continue breastfeeding.

What This Article Adds: Maternal wellness and breastfeeding represent an emerging area of practice in which occupational therapy practitioners can provide new mothers with physical, social, and psychological supports that help them maintain self-efficacy related to breastfeeding and other meaningful occupations. This study provides foundational evidence in support of this collaboration.
Seagrass coverage and associated fauna at Gaya Island, Sabah, Malaysia: A pilot seagrass transplantation
Authors: Saleh Ejria , Tzuen-Kiat Yap , Gallagher John Barry
Published: September 2021

Seagrasses provide a range of marine ecosystem services. These include coastal protection, biodiversity, provision of food for various organisms, breeding and nursery habitats for many marine species, and carbon storage. Increasing anthropogenic pressures have contributed to the decline of seagrass habitats. Transplantation is one of the solutions to increase seagrass coverage and resilience. What is often overlooked, however, is the ability of this tropical ecosystem to attract and support faunal assemblages that may impinge on the success of the transplantation. A pilot study on seagrass transplantation at Gaya Island (Kota Kinabalu, Sabah) was intended for observing its stability and species of fauna that develop association with this vegetation. The study covered the southwest and northeast monsoons. Mixed seagrass species were planted on approximately 50% of 30 m 2 transplantation areas. Monitoring of the planted seagrass was carried out in five phases (T1-T5) from September 2016 to April 2018. Weekly observations were made by SCUBA diving. Identification of associated fauna was done on the spot and was based on morphological characteristics. During the T1 (September to December 2016) the seagrass coverage was reduced to 41% due to strong waves generated by the northeast monsoon. However, the seagrass coverage increased ( 66 %) during the southwest monsoon (T2 - T4) in 2017. In early 2018 (T5), the seagrass coverage again reduced (about 18%) due to strong waves but recovered again at the end of the monitoring period (April 2018). A total of 30 species of fauna that were identified consisted of 9 resident and 21 non-resident species. Physical structure of transplanted seagrass created a microhabitat, and increased the food availability and abundance, which attracted many species of different trophic levels.
Marketing margins of aquaculture shrimp production in Kedah

Published: September 2021

Shrimp aquaculture has great potential for providing income and employment opportunities to farmers. Shrimp production can also contribute to economic growth given its high value and demand in Malaysia. However, it is often said that players in the marketing channel extract high margins for themselves. This study intends to verify this claim by examining a case study based on white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) aquaculture in Kedah. The data for this study was obtained from a detailed study involving a shrimp retailer in Kedah. The marketing margins were calculated from the interviews of the farmer and the retailer. The results showed that the marketing channel was quite efficient because there was no large gap in the prices between the marketing channels. The difference between retail price and farm price is only RM7 per kilogram for the white shrimp which accounts for 43.75 percent of total farm price and represents the cost of bringing shrimps from the farm to the retail market.

The basic purpose of constructing drug delivery systems is to design when and where the drug will be released. The episode of many biological events is really important for such knowledge. Metoprolol pulsatile drug delivery system was developed for this purpose, which can release the drug when blood pressure needs to be modulated in the early morning. The Cup and core techniques were used to build this system, which included immediate release (IR), sustained-release (SR), and a polycaprolactone plug layer. The formulation of the ingredients was facilitated by various preformulation studies. The IR and SR tablets were bilayered, with polycaprolactone entirely coating the IR layer. The IR and SR tablet release profiles were optimised for the F5 batch, which was then used to construct a pulsatile drug delivery system. Clinical trials were conducted with the prepared tablet, which included the use of BaSO4 tagged tablets for X-ray examinations. All of the findings indicated the optimal drug release of metoprolol, which can be used for individuals who are more prone to blood pressure abnormalities in the morning.

Published: September 2021

Introduction and Aim: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogenous, multisystem endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age also called as Stein Leventhal syndrome. PCOS is a common female endocrine disorder with prevalence ranging from 2.2% to 26%. Prevalence of PCOS in Indian adolescents is 9.13%. This draws attention to the issue of early diagnosis in adolescent girls. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of progressive resisted exercises (PRE) and aerobic exercises in the management of subjects with PCOS.

Materials and Methods: This was an experimental comparative pre and post-test type study. The subjects in the age group of 18-25 years with the diagnosis of PCOS were selected based on Rotterdam criteria and with the BMI ranging between 25-29. Twenty four subjects were recruited and were randomly divided into two groups. group A was treated with PRE +aerobic exercises + diet and group B with aerobic exercises + diet. The duration of the study was 24 weeks and the outcome measures used were BMI, PCOSQ and hormonal levels (SHBG, Free testosterone, HOMA IR, Hs CRP)

Results: The result of the study showed that group A treated with PRE + aerobic exercises + diet had significant improvement in BMI at P?0.05 and PCOSQ and specific hormonal levels at P?0.001 when compared to group B.

Conclusion: A 24 weeks exercise intervention with a combined PRE +aerobic exercises +diet was superior to aerobic exercises +diet among young subjects with PCOS.

Published: September 2021

Field experiments to study the effectiveness of the use of mineral fertilizers and biological products with strains of associative nitrogen fixers were conducted in 2016-2018 on dark brown soil in LLC "Zarya" of the Oblivsky district, which is located in the north-eastern zone of the Rostov region. The objects of research were: the variety of safflower Zavolzhsky 1, bacterial preparations Mizorin, Flavobacterin, KL-10, made at the All-Russian Institute of Agricul-tural Microbiology in St. Petersburg. They were mixed immediately before sowing with seeds at a rate of 300 g/ha. Mineral fertilizers were represented by ammonium nitrate (34.4%), ammophos (12:52) and potassium chloride (65%). Safflower was cultivated according to traditional technology. The sowing of safflower was carried out with the SZ-3,6 seeder. The predecessor of safflower is winter wheat. The application of mineral fertilizers was carried out simulta-neously with sowing, as well as manually spreading for pre-sowing cultivation. The yield of safflower seeds in the control variant (without the use of agro-chemicals) was the highest in 2017, which was favorable for moisture-1.11 t / ha, and almost the same in 2016 and 2018 – 0.92-0.94 t/ha, respectively. Av-erage for 2018-2020 the yield of safflower seeds in the control variant was 0.99 t / ha. The highest yield of oilseeds was obtained on the variant with a dose of mineral fertilizers N48P52 1. 22 t / ha, but on the variant with the use of the biological product Flavobacterin, the yield was only 0.05 t / ha less. The oil content in safflower seeds on average for 3 years of research on all variants of the experiment differed slightly. Its content varied from 35.7–36.3% and did not depend on the studied agrochemical techniques. The most optimal indica-tors of economic efficiency in the experiment were obtained from the use of a strain of the associative biological product Flavobacterin on a natural back-ground of fertility. The level of profitability is higher than in the control ver-sion by 28%, with a reduction in the cost of 1.42 rubles/kg. Keywords: SAFFLOWER, MINERAL FERTILIZERS, BACTERIAL PREP-ARATIONS, YIELD
Theoretical aspects of calculating the main design parameters of an electric bird repeller

The problem of scaring birds, which has turned into a problem of protecting economic objects from biological damage caused by birds, was born in ancient times and remains relevant to this day. Elevators, fishing and animal husbandry facilities, and other agricultural structures have become the favorite habitats of synanthropic birds. The first ones cause irreparable economic damage to agriculture, destroying, in particular, crops in fields and gardens. One of the solutions to this problem, which became the goal of this work, is to increase the efficiency of protecting agricultural facilities from synanthropic birds with the help of electric bird repellents. To carry out this research work, an experimental stand was designed and constructed in the laboratory of the State Agrarian University of the Northern Trans-Urals, which received a positive decision for a patent. With its help, an analytical dependence of the magnitude of the scaring pulse on the mass of the bird was obtained; a method for calculating the minimum and maximum distances of the scaring range for the blue pigeon was developed.

Más allá de lo real maravilloso. El surrealismo y el Caribe
Authors:   Facultad de Artes y Humanidades, Universidad de los Andes, Bernal Bermúdez María Clara
Published: September 2021

Más allá de lo real maravilloso reflexiona sobre la manera en que ciertos encuentros entre intelectuales latinoamericanos y europeos durante el siglo xx dieron forma a la representación de América Latina en las artes. En la primera parte, revisa algunas exposiciones de arte latinoamericano que tuvieron lugar en la década de los ochenta, como parte de los prolegómenos de las celebraciones del quinto centenario de la llegada de los españoles a América, y llama la atención sobre los estereotipos que estas perpetuaron. Plantea que el origen de dichos estereotipos se encuentra en la teoría de Alejo Carpentier de lo real maravilloso americano, un ambicioso proyecto encaminado a combatir el colonialismo cultural que, sin embargo, dejó a América Latina aislada del resto del mundo. En la segunda parte, explora las intrincadas relaciones entre el surrealismo y América Latina, y pone énfasis en los asuntos que surgieron de la lucha de intelectuales y artistas empeñados en encontrar el “lenguaje apropiado” para representar culturalmente la región. Profundizando en este último punto, la tercera parte se concentra en la figura del pintor cubano Wifredo Lam, cuyo trabajo mezcla elementos afrocubanos con la estética surrealista y cubista, lo que cambió el ideal de arte producido en América Latina. Lam realzó los encuentros que dieron forma a la cultura latinoamericana y combatió la idea de un pasado prístino anterior a que los europeos llegaran a América. Este cambio radical de perspectiva —apoyado en la teoría de la transculturación de Fernando Ortiz— anticipó las teorías contemporáneas de creolización, que hablan del proceso de formación cultural de América Latina a partir del intercambio
