Airbus' Cabin Air Explanations during the Corona Pandemic – Presented, Analyzed, and Criticized
Authors: Scholz Dieter
Published: June 2021

The technical expertise of the aircraft manufacturer on cabin air in passenger aircraft during the Corona pandemic is paramount. Not much of it is out in the public domain. The little information found, is presented here, analyzed, and criticized. Airbus is using the same arguments in support of flying during times of COVID-19 as other stakeholders in the aviation industry. The three facts: high air change rate, use of HEPA filters, and a ventilation concept for each cross section along the length of the fuselage justifies for Airbus to wave otherwise accepted commandments about social distancing. Every possible argument is used to play down the health risk from SARS-CoV-2 for the sake of inviting passengers back into the aircraft. The wealth of arguments can be found in an interview with Airbus chief engineer Jean-Brice Dumont. This memo presents some of the arguments from the video in written form.

Authors: ZHU Shimin , Zhuang Yanqiong , Lee Paul , Ching Wong Wai
Published: June 2021

Background: Pandemics affect the physical and mental well-being of all potentially at-risk individuals. The secondary consequences of measures to prevent the outbreak (i.e., school closures) have extensive impact on young people globally. This longitudinal study examines changes of suicidal ideation status among adolescents during COVID-19.Method: A follow-up after nine-months of a school-based survey among 1,491 secondary students was conducted during COVID-19 in Hong Kong. Psychological well-being, psychological factors, family support, and COVID-19-related experiences were examined.Findings: The prevalence of suicidal ideation were 24% and 21% among the participants before and during COVID-19, respectively. In particular, 897 (65.0%) remained non-suicidal, 193 (14.0%) recovered from being suicidal, 148 (10.7%) newly reported being suicidal, and 143 (10.4%) remained suicidal. Respondents who remained suicidal were found to have significantly higher depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, and social anxiety; fixed mindset; lower meaning of life and self-control; and lower parental support and supervision than the other groups. Participants with suicidal ideation reported more negative perceptions about the pandemic than non-suicidal participants. Logistic regression showed that participants with higher trait anxiety and higher stress from self-expectations in the baseline survey predicted higher likelihood of having suicidal ideation than the non-suicidal students at follow-up.Conclusion: Poor psychological well-being, lower level of family support, and negative impacts of the pandemic were consistently associated with students’ presence of suicidal ideation during the pandemic. Further intervention studies are needed to examine the effects of the mental health consequences of COVID-19 on youth mental health and to promote positive youth well-being.
The Costs and Benefits of Mindfulness and Reappraisal in Daily Life
Authors: Wenzel Mario , Blanke Elisabeth Sophie , Rowland Zarah , Brose Annette
Published: June 2021

Reappraisal and mindfulness represent two fundamentally different ways of dealing with one’s emotions: Whereas reappraisal aims at changing one’s thoughts and emotions, mindfulness is aimed at not changing, but appreciating them. Despite this difference, prior research has shown that both are similarly associated with short-term benefits and trait-level correlates. However, research on the spontaneous use of reappraisal and mindfulness in daily life found that mindfulness is more effective in decreasing negative affect than reappraisal. The spontaneous use of reappraisal may be less effective than mindfulness in daily life given that it is more cognitively taxing. Therefore, we assumed in the present research that the increased costs (i.e., feeling exhausted) of spontaneously endorsing reappraisal compared to mindfulness can explain why reappraisal is less effective in regulating negative affect than mindfulness. In two experience sampling studies (N = 125 and N = 179), we found evidence for different costs and benefits of reappraisal compared to mindfulness. Regarding short-term benefits, endorsing reappraisal was significantly associated with increases in positive affect, whereas endorsing the mindfulness component acceptance was significantly associated with decreases in negative affect. Regarding short-term costs, we found that endorsing reappraisal was more exhausting, and that reappraisal was selected less often than mindfulness in daily life. Finally, acceptance was associated more strongly with trait level indicators of well-being than reappraisal, which may be explained by the reduced costs of endorsing acceptance compared to reappraisal. Our results demonstrate the importance of assessing both the benefits and costs of emotion regulation in daily life.

As neuroscience projects increase in scale and cross international borders, different ethical principles, national and international laws, regulations, and policies for data sharing must be considered. These concerns are part of what is collectively called data governance. Whereas neuroscience data transcends borders, data governance is typically constrained within geopolitical boundaries. An international data governance framework and accompanying infrastructure can assist investigators, institutions, data repositories, and funders with navigating disparate policies. Here, we propose principles and operational considerations for how data governance in neuroscience can be navigated at an international scale, and highlight gaps, challenges, and opportunities in a global brain data ecosystem. We consider how to approach data governance in a way that balances data protection requirements and the need for open science so as to promote international collaboration, through federated constructs such as the International Brain Initiative (IBI).
The Digital Dementia Neighbourhood: Addressing Social Isolation in People with Dementia in the Digital Age with a Two-Group Model

Published: June 2021

The older population is increasing. Amongst these, people with dementia and cognitive impairment represent a growing group where the impact of loneliness and social isolation can have a significant impact (research). There is an urgent need to prioritise and maximise the potential of this group to ensure that they are supported in a range of different ways to experience the best quality of life possible that can include the use of digital solutions to create the permitting circumstances for self-help and empowerment. Recent developments in the use of information technology, especially in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, has shone a light on the need to consider different ways to engage. We propose a two-group model to both facilitate supervised virtual peer-to-peer interactions and also assessment for suitability for independent virtual peer-to-peer interactions. The two-group model enables a maximisation of telehealth opportunities which promotes access to connected and stimulating activity and which can be expanded to support care and well-being virtually. To ensure both quality and equality it is imperative to facilitate access to those digitally excluded and create ways to build transformative neighbourhoods through maximising digitally connectivity to those that live with dementia, and their carers.
Epistemic Trust and the Emergence of Conduct Problems: Aggression in the Service of Communication
Authors: Talia Alessandro , Duschinsky Robbie , Mazzarella Diana , Hauschild Sophie , Taubner Svenja
Published: June 2021

Fonagy and colleagues have recently proposed that deficits in the capacity for epistemic trust (i.e. the expectation that interpersonal communication is relevant to the addressee) are fundamental to psychopathology. In this paper, we consider the implications of this hypothesis for understanding the role of aggression in conduct disorder and conduct problems more generally. Our main proposal is to view conduct problems not only as reflecting dysregulation, but as an adaptation that allows communication with others who are (or are perceived to be) unreliable. Our formulation hinges on two propositions. The first one is to view aggression as a modality of communication adapted to scenarios in which the communicator expects the audience to have low epistemic trust in the communicator. The second idea is to conceptualize the failed “unlearning of aggression” as reflecting a lack of interest in maintaining one’s reputation as a communicator, which in turn stems from a lack of epistemic trust in other communicators. In this paper, we discuss these ideas and examine how they may account for the developmental pathways that lead young people to develop conduct problems.

Authors: Vangara Shanmukha Varalakshmi , Kumar Dhananjay , Arora Neel Kamal
Published: June 2021

Background: Facial anthropometry is the scientific study of measurements and proportions of the human face. There is huge paucity in the metric measurements of face in Indian population. This study is involved in collecting facial anthropometric data of Western Uttar Pradesh population of age group between 18-25 years.
Aims and Objectives: This study aims at evaluating predominant facial phenotype, using facial height and facial width of Western Uttar Pradesh population as study subjects.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 200 medical and paramedical students of Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences (SRMS-IMS), Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The study subjects were of 18-25 year’s age, belonging to Western Uttar Pradesh region. Digital Vernier Caliper was used to measure the facial parameters. The data was analyzed using statistical tool SPSS 16.0 version.
Results: In the present study it is found that facial height and width are more in males compared to females. This difference is statistically significant. On analyzing facial index, hyperleptoprosopic face is the predominant phenotype in males as well as in females, followed by leptoprosopic type in males and mesoprosopic type in females. However, gender differences in facial index are not statistically significant at p<0.05. 
Conclusion: The current study reveals that facial parameters can be used to determine the gender of an individual on the basis of height and width.

Authors: Mahadik Sujay K , Pandey Shriansh , Belsare Neel S , Shinde Girish S , Deshpande Shrikant B
Published: June 2021

Background: Osteoarthritis of knee is one of the common conditions seen in older individuals and known to affect quality of life considerably. It makes it difficult for individuals with knee osteoarthritis to climb stairs, walk long distances, and stand for long time and squatting. In intractable cases not responding to conservative management surgical management such as proximal fibular Osteotomy (PFO) or high tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is routinely done. We conducted this comparative study to analyse the functional outcome of patients who had undergone HTO and PFO for medial compartment osteoarthritis of knee joint.
Aims and Objectives: 1) To analyse the functional outcome of patients who had undergone HTO and PFO for medial compartment osteoarthritis of knee joint. 2) To compare complication rates in both the groups.
Materials and Methods: A total of 60 patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis were included in this study on the basis of a predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were randomized to 2 groups. Thirty patients undergoing proximal fibular osteotomy (Group A) and 30 patients undergoing high tibial osteotomy (Group B). The patients were followed up for improvements in functional outcome for 12 months. The statistical analysis was done using SSPS 21.0 software and p value less than 0.05 were taken as statistically significant.
Results: Mean time for surgery was less for PFO surgery as compared to HTO and the difference was statistically significant. Moreover mean bleeding amount, drainage volume and time required for full weight bearing was low in PFO group as compared to HTO group and the difference was found to be statistically significant (P<0.05). The mean VAS score at the time of presentation in PFO and HTO groups was found to be 4.9 +/- 1.12 and 4.7 +/- 1.02 respectively. A statistically significant reduction in pain was documented at the time of follow up of 4 weeks in both the groups. The functional outcome and complication rates were comparable in both the groups.
Conclusion: Proximal fibular osteotomy is a better option as compared to high tibial osteotomy in terms of mean surgery time, mean bleeding amount, drainage volume and time required for full weight bearing. Functional outcome and improvement in VAS were comparable in both the groups.

Published: June 2021

COVID-19 pandemic caused due to SARS-CoV2 has disrupted the spectrum of health care.  The wide arrays of supportive and palliative care needed for patients with ailments were grossly neglected, due to the diversion of resources and healthcare professionals in COVID management. This deficiency was further exaggerated by extended lockdown and closure of outdoor patient care services resulting in unprecedented crisis in disease management. Further, COVID-19 has been associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality arising from associated risk factors in geriatric subjects and those with other high risk co-morbidities like hypertension, COPD, diabetes and cancer. North East Indian states and the adjoining regions seem to have suffered substantially during the COVID-19 crisis due to their pre-existing vulnerabilities and under developed health care infrastructure and logistics.  This deficiency, however, seems to have been fulfilled substantially by the participation of NGO (Non-Government Organizations) and other volunteer services who has actively participated to provide basic healthcare and other life support to cancer patients in this crisis.
Prevalence of elevated liver enzymes and its association with type 2 diabetes: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study among Nepalese Adults from Biratnagar, Nepal
Authors: Jha Sanjay Kumar , Yadav Naval Kishor , Rizal Shikha
Published: June 2021

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable metabolic disease resulting from either insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. Liver enzymes (ALT and AST) are the well-known markers of hepatocellular health while GGT also shows biliary tract function. Increased activities of liver enzymes are indicators of hepatocellular injury, are associated with insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Aims and Objective: To study the status of Liver Enzymes in type 2 diabetes patients residing in the eastern part of Nepal.
Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at the Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar, Nepal dated from 27th Dec 2019 to 27th Dec 2020. The blood sample was taken from the patients coming to the outpatient department at Diabetic and Endocrinology Clinic for a regular check-up and follow-up and those willing to participate in research. All the data collected was entered in Microsoft Excel and Statistical Package for Social Service (SPSS) version 16. p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Results: A total of 375 subjects (255 DM and 120 healthy) were included. The age of the diabetic subjects ranges from 27-87 years with a mean of 56.91 ± 11.00 years while age of healthy subjects’ ranged from 31-86 years with the mean of 53.38 ± 13.28. Among the T2DM subjects, 11.76% (30/255) had raised AST, 17.25% (44/255) had raised ALT, 12.94% (33/255) had raised ALP, and 19.60% (50/255) had raised GGT. The level of liver enzymes (AST, p = 0.005, ALT, p = 0.007, ALP, p = 0.000 and GGT, p = 0.000) were showed statistically significant.
Conclusion: This study concludes that liver enzyme activity was higher in T2DM subjects than individuals who do not have T2DM. In addition, Liver parameters were significantly correlated with diabetes mellitus in our study population; hence, timely diagnosis and management of the abnormal liver parameters may help to minimize liver-related morbidity and mortality in the diabetic population.
Water balance component analysis of a spring catchment of western Nepal
Authors: K.C. J. K. , Dhaubanjar S. , Pandey V. P. , Subedi R.
Published: June 2021

Springs in the mountains and hills are getting affected by both climatic and non-climatic changes. Hydrologic models are used to simulate the response of spring systems to the changes; however, only a limited number of studies using the hydrologic modeling approach have been accomplished on studying springs and spring-dominated watersheds in Nepal. This research aimed at understanding changing hydrological processes through hydrologic modeling in a spring catchment. A micro-catchment named 'Sikharpur' of West Seti watershed of Nepal was selected to get insights into the process influencing the spring system. The RRAWFLOW models with gamma distribution and time variant IRFs were calibrated and validated for the catchment to get the best fit model. The discharge was simulated according to the future projected climate scenarios. Then, a water balance was assessed for the micro-catchment. The results showed that understanding of likely response of hydrologic variables to potential future climate scenarios is critical for water resource management. It was estimated that the spring discharge would be decreased by more than 40 percentage after 50 years mainly due to the increase in evapo-transpiration (91.47% of the precipitation). Evapo-transpiration was found as a major hydrologic process impacting upon water balance in the spring catchment; therefore, its management for better spring resource conservation is recommended by considering high evapo-transpiration months, water deficient period and crop factor. The change in the storage was observed to be 51.78%; so, detail isotopic analysis and long-term monitoring of water balance is required for further characterization of water balance components.

Published: June 2021

Introduction

Primary headache disorder, characterized by recurrent headache is the most

prevalent disease leading to widespread ill health and impaired quality of life.

In Nepal headache is one of the most common cause of patient attending neurology

clinic. Amitriptyline, Flunarizine and Topiramate are common drugs in the

treatment of primary headache. We conducted this study to compare the efficacy of drugs namely Amitriptyline, Flunarizine and Topiramate in the treatment of primary headache

Materials and Methods

This is the retrospective data analysis of primary headache patient treated with

amitriptyline, flunarizine and topiramate. On their first, second and

third subsequent visits, Headache Impact Test 6 Scoring was done by a medical

person. Patient were treated clinically. After third follow up data were

analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Categorical variables were compared by

chi-square test, paired sample t-test, ANOVA test and Welch test.

Results

A total of 142 patient data was analyzed. The most common age group were

between 20 to 39 years (56.34%) followed by 40 to 59 years (33.80%). Female were

predominant in the group 124 (87.32%).  All three medication Amitriptyline,

Flunarizine and Topiramate were able to significantly lower Headache impact test 

-17.23 ± 6.643, -14.06 ± 7.155, -15.82 ± 5.907 respectively (P- <0.001).

Amitriptyline was found to be better than other two drugs in reducing Headache

Impact Test.

Conclusion

All three drugs namely Amitriptyline, Flunarizine and Topiramate, are significantly

effective in the treatment of primary headache. Though tension type of headache is the most common type of headache, amitriptyline seems to be equally effective in treatment with other primary headaches.

Published: June 2021

Orthostatic hypotension, often interpreted as a drop in blood pressure as a person moves from lying or sitting to standing, has a direct impact on the brain. It results in a decrease in brain perfusion pressure and in many cases causes symptoms of transient cerebral hypo perfusion. This report treats a case of recurrent orthostatic hypotension in a field of recurrent Covid-19 infection, with a good clinical response to early immunotherapy. Signs of lung infection retroceded until complete disappearance under treatment with chloroquine sulfate and azythromycin. However, due to persistent signs of dysautonomy and paresthesias, we had subjected the patient to intravenous immunoglobulin immunotherapy with a good therapeutic response until the patient's complete recovery 150 days after the start of treatment. The prognosis remains unknown at this time, as we do not yet have data from large-scale studies on this subject.
Is It Scientific? Viewer Perceptions of Storm Surge Visualizations
Authors: Stempel Peter J. , Becker Austin
Published: June 2021

Les scientifiques et les gestionnaires des risques côtiers utilisent des visualisations semi-réalistes des ondes de tempêtes liées aux modèles hydrodynamiques afin de faire en sorte que les effets projetés suscitent l’intérêt et soient accessibles. Ces visualisations ne s’inscrivent pas convenablement dans les cadres de référence établis pour visualiser les risques, étant donné qu’elles ajoutent des détails de représentation et peuvent suggérer davantage de certitude qu’elles ne le devraient quant aux résultats. Les auteurs se demandent comment les publics exposés envisagent ces visualisations par rapport aux normes de représentation des graphiques et des visualisations scientifiques telles qu’elles sont perçues. Ils interrogent les participants à un sondage en ligne (735 experts et membres du grand public, essentiellement du Rhode Island et du nord-est des États-Unis) au sujet des caractéristiques qui font qu’une représentation est « scientifique ». Les résultats du sondage montrent l’existence de différences dans les normes mises de l’avant par les experts et par le public et révèlent que les personnes et les institutions qui créent les visualisations peuvent influencer les perceptions de légitimité davantage que le style de visualisation. La possibilité que les visualisations induisent en erreur et entretiennent l’idée selon laquelle les scientifiques se livrent à un plaidoyer risque de s’en trouver accrue.
“Doing Ecology” in the Chemical Valley: Pedagogies of Time, Scale, and Participation in The Chemical Valley Project
Authors: Balt Christine
Published: June 2021

Dans cet article, Christine Balt examine comment la pièce The Chemical Valley Project, jouée au Théâtre Passe Muraille de Toronto en avril 2019, sert de modèle pour illustrer des méthodes et des pédagogies en théâtre qui permettent de stimuler une action climatique porteuse de sens en théâtre écologique. Plutôt que vouloir comme d’autres trouver une solution de rechange aux récits de « l’inévitable apocalypse » qui caractérisent le théâtre écologique, Balt se demande comment le Chemical Valley Project donne vie à l’idée exprimée par Carl Lavery de « faire de l’écologie » afin de promouvoir le théâtre en tant que ressource capable de proposer des moyens plus affectifs, plus matériels, plus relationnels et porteurs d’espoir qui nous permettront de faire face à cette époque précaire sur le plan écologique. Balt s’intéresse à la manière dont les processus dramaturgiques incarnés et localisés de la pièce constituent un « faire de l’écologie », en passant notamment par le concept d’« appréhension » de Rob Nixon — arrêter et confronter les relations écologiques invisibles qui traversent les différences de temps et d’échelle — et celui d’« esthétique du soin » de James Thompson — où de nouvelles communautés, solidarités et alliances naissent grâce à des moments de participation du public. Balt conclut que l’« appréhension » et une « esthétique du soin » pourraient être mises au service du « faire de l’écologie » ou de pédagogies connexes, lesquels pourraient, à leur tour, aider à formuler une vision plus attentionnée, active et porteuse d’espoir du théâtre écologique et informer des modes d’action décisifs, collectifs et sensibles face à la crise climatique.

APPLICATION OF THE HARRINGTON DESIRE FUNCTION IN DESIGNING COMPLEX MULTI-COMPONENT FOOD
Authors:   Kuban State Technological University, Rudenko Olga Valentinovna , Kramarenko Andrey Aleksandrovich ,   Kuban State Technological University
Published: June 2021

The article discusses the issue of design automation and optimization of complex multicomponent food products using mathematical programming methods. Food design methods based on generalized modeling criteria with one vector of mixture quality indicators lead to the formulation of a quadratic programming problem. Determination of the universal quality indicator can be carried out using the asymmetric Harrington desirability functions. The application of the criterion with the specified lower and upper permissible levels of consumption for each of the quality indicators allows one to take into account deviations in the direction of insufficiency or overdose of nutrients. One of the possible expressions for desirability functions of this kind is the use of the product of Gompertz curves to express particular criteria of balance. The use of this methodology on the example of the development of a marshmallow formulation with the addition of apple and sea buckthorn to achieve an optimal balance of nutrients has significantly improved the percentage of balance of the mixture.

The Clinical Characteristics and Treatment Results in the Patients with Clear Cell Carcinoma of the Ovary
Authors: Kim Chul
Published: June 2021

Background: It is well known that clear cell carcinoma of the ovary (CCC) demonstrates different clinical behaviors from other epithelial ovarian cancer and has strong association with endometriosis, thromboembolic complication, hypercalcemia, and large pelvic mass. The introduction of cisplatin-based chemotherapy significantly changed the postoperative management of ovarian cancer patients. Different studies showed a better response rate of CCC to chemotherapy with paclitaxel plus carboplatin regime than with the conventional platinum-based regimens. Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patients’ clinical characteristics and treatment results for clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the ovary treated in paclitaxel-platinum chemotherapy in comparison with those treated in conventional platinum-based chemotherapy after primary surgery Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 40 patients with CCC who received treatment in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Samsung Medical Center from March, 1996 to April 2006. The clinical characteristics, treatment results and follow-up data were collected from medical records and/or telephone surveys. Results: Mean age was 47 years (range 30–72 years). Patients with age less than 50years were 62.5%. Tumors were 15% (6/40) stage IA, 2.5% (1/40) stage IB, 37.5% (15/40) stage IC, 5% (2/40) stage II, 32.5% (13/40) stage III, and 7.5% (3/40) stage IV. Patients with CCC were more likely to have FIGO stage I & II disease than FIGO stage III & IV (60% vs. 40%). Five-year progression-free survival and overall survival were 91% and 80% in stage I & II, 36% and 55% in stage III & IV, respectively (5-yr PFS; P<0.01, 5-yr OS; P=0.03). With a median follow-up of 45 months (2-112 months), 75% (18/24) of stage I/II patients are alive, while 19% (3/16) of stage III/IV patients are alive. 37.5% (15/40) of the patients presented with endometriosis. Except for one patient who was referred by a local clinic, all patients underwent cytoreductive surgery. The rate of optimal debulking (≤ 1cm residual tumor diameter) was 90% (36/40). Overall, for women treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, 75% (27/36) had clinically complete responses to adjuvant chemotherapy. But there was no survival benefit according to chemotherapeutic differences in the patients who received cytoreductive surgery followed between conventional platinum-based chemotherapy (CAP or CP) and by paclitaxel and platinum-based chemotherapy (P=0.40). Univariate analysis showed that stage was the only favorable prognostic factor for women with clear cell carcinoma of the ovary (P=0.04). Conclusions: Our results suggest that CCC has a distinct clinical behavior, similar to previous studies, that frequently presents at early- stages and is associated with endometriosis. In addition, there was a close correlation between the level of CA-125 and survival, and there was no survival benefit according to chemotherapeutic differences. 〔CAP (CP) VS TP(TC)〕

The study purpose consisted in studying the dynamics of blood circulation in the muscles of distal segments of the pelvic limbs, as well as studying the temperature response after contusion in-jury of the spinal cord in small laboratory animals. Wistar female rats (n = 24) at the age of 8-10 months underwent modeling the spinal cord contusion injury of medium severity at the level of ТhIX. The dynamics of circulation in the mus-cles of the right and left leg, as well as local temperature response was studied on the body symmet-rical parts. Both the changes in the body overall temperature and the dynamics of heart rate were evaluated. The experiment duration was 90 days. The following was revealed: the signs of heart rate change – towards its decrease; the disor-der of thermoregulation processes was recorded throughout the experiment in the form of pro-nounced hyperthermia; the blood circulation in the leg muscles after one month of the experiment proceeded according to the hypokinetic type, which was subsequently changed to the hypertonicity of both large and small arteries. The disorders of venous outflow were not observed in this experi-ment. Locally, the changes of the temperature response and the functional vascular properties were more pronounced in the left limb.

The influence of the use of feed additives used in the cultivation of calves on the quality of their meat and meat productivity was studied. Calves were given two types of liquid feed additives: 1) freshly prepared solutions of inorganic salts of copper, zinc, cobalt, iron and manganese; 2) solu-tions of chelated complex compounds of these trace elements. A fractional - periodic scheme of their administration was used, which minimizes the effect of physiological antagonism of trace ele-ments. It was shown that the meat of animals treated with complex compounds had a higher content of trace elements and better indicators of fat content and protein.

Blood and lymph make up the circulatory link of the bird's immune system. It is necessary to note the humoral factor of immune protection-lysozyme. The purpose of scientific research is to study the level of natural resistance and development of egg-type chickens after aerosol application of the disinfectant Argodez. Research and production experiments were conducted in the conditions of the poultry farm "snow", Bryansk region, p. Voucher. Aerosol disinfection was performed in the poultry house before settling in with day-old chickens. Test shop were treated once Arcadetm of 0.01%, the rate of 2 ml/m3, and control Desalina - f - 5 ml/m3., with the generator cold fog IGEBA -UNIPRO-5. At the age of 24 hours, two groups of egg - type chickens, the Lohmann-brown cross, were formed using the method of analogous groups. Blood was taken from the underwing vein and by decapitation, before feeding, at the daily, 30-day, 60-day age. Bactericidal, lysozyme, and phagocytic activity of blood serum was determined according to generally accepted methods. Control weighing of chickens of both groups was performed on days 30 and 60 of the study. A significant increase in phagocytic activity of blood neutrophils was found in the experimental group of chickens on the 30th-21.40 % and 60th day of research-25.40 %, as well as a tendency to increase the bactericidal activity of blood serum by 1.90 % and 7.90 % and the lysozyme activity of blood serum by 8.46 % and 9.17 %. It was also found to increase safety by age periods. The highest safety was observed at the age of 1-30 days and was 99.50 %, then 30-60 – 99.10 %.

The aim of the research is to study the morphological changes of fungi of the genus Trichoderma when using glyphosate at intervals of 24, 48, 96 hours. Isolated isolates of T.koningii, T.veride, T.harzianum, T.asperellum diluted in an aqueous extract at a dilution of 106 were extracted in a 10 % preparation of glyphor (the active ingredient is glyphosate). After each 24, 48, 96-hour exposure, control seeding was carried out on agarized Czapek media. After incubation at a temperature of 23 0C, visual inspection and microscopy of fungal colonies were carried out, taking into account the color, structure and consistency of conidia. The fungus of the genus T. koningii was more susceptible to chemical action, which was manifested by a change in mycelium growth, characteristic ragged conidiophores, and a decrease in the number of acospores on Czapek's nutrient medium. T.asperellum under the influence of the herbicide after 48 hours changed the shape of the conidia, the walls of the conidiophores decreased, upon visual examination after 48-96 hours the color of the fungus colonies was transparent, slightly whitish. The isolate of T.harzianum proved to be the most resistant to glyphosate, which was capable of rapid mycelium recovery after 48 h. Thus, with the combined use of biological products based on fungi of the genus Trichoderma and herbicides based on glyphosate, the action of the former can be slowed down, which should be taken into account in their development and application.

The variability of corticosterone and cortisol concentrations and their ratio in laying hens during the development of a stress reaction, as well as the correlation of hormone levels with the variability of protein parameters in the blood, are evaluated. It was found that when the technological factor (the density of birds in the cage) changes by 1.5 times, the amount of glucocorticoids in the blood of birds during the stress reaction increases, both due to corticosterone and cortisol. Therefore, the balance between the hormones were not significantly changed and is in the range of 4.23-5,43conv. Units. When the technological factor is increased by 2 times, the content of corticosterone in the blood of birds mainly increases, determining an increase in the value of the corticosterone/cortisol ratio by 16.56-28.71%. The biological effects of glucocorticoids in the body of birds are realized by corticosterone, the level of which in a moderate and strong degree, including statistically significant, both under normal and stress conditions, is associated with the activity of transamination enzymes: Corticosterone-AlAT (r(group I) = 0,69±0,32 – 0,88±0,21; r(group II) =0.63±0.24 – 0.91±0.13; r(group III) = 0,59±0,22 – 0,76±0,16) and Corticosterone-AsAT (r(I group) = 0,57±0,36 – 0,83±0,25; r(group II) =0,68±0,23 – 0,72±0,22; r(group III) = 0,67±0,19 – 0,89±0,12), and also with the concentration of albumins during the development of a stress reaction (Corticosterone-Alb: r(group II) = -0,69±0,22 – -0,81±0,19; r(group III) = -0,58±0,21 – -0,81±0,16).
