Published: December 2024

The imbalance of micro- and macronutrients is a significant health issue, often due to poor nutrition, vitamin deficiencies, and disruptions in mineral metabolism. To address these challenges, biologically active supplements (BASs) are gaining popularity. In Kazakhstan, the BIO-AP-IRGA dietary supplement, derived from dried saskatoon berry, chokeberry, and whey, was developed to improve local food products. The study explored integrating BIO-AP-IRGA into yogurt and cottage cheese, assessing the impact on their nutritional and chemical properties.
Standard analytical methods were used to evaluate the fortified products. The results showed that the addition of BIO-AP-IRGA significantly increased the carbohydrate content, nearly doubling it in yogurt and increasing it by eight times in cottage cheese. Additionally, the polyphenol content increased in both yogurt and cottage cheese; yogurt showed a slight increase, while cottage cheese saw nearly a twofold rise. However, the amino acid content decreased with the increasing amount of BIO-AP-IRGA, showing an inverse relationship.
These findings highlight the physicochemical changes that occur when BIO-AP-IRGA is incorporated into dairy products. The supplementation improves the nutritional quality of yogurt and cottage cheese, particularly by enhancing polyphenol and vitamin C levels. This innovation presents an opportunity for the food industry to develop functional dairy products with potential health benefits, addressing nutrient deficiencies and promoting better health

The object of the study is the dependence of the technological indicators of the extruded system with an increased ALA content on the composition of the raw materials. The problem of the study is the need to increase the oxidative stability of the lipid component of extrudates, preserve their nutritional value and improve technological characteristics (in particular, porosity). An extruded system with an increased content of alpha-linolenic polyunsaturated fatty acid (ALA) based on a mixture of barley groats and flax seeds has been developed. The influence of flaxseed content on the technological parameters of model extruded systems, in particular porosity and oxidative stability of the lipid component, was studied. It was found that the rational content of flax seeds in the extrusion mixture is 7.0 %, providing the necessary porosity (80 %) and the induction period of accelerated oxidation at a temperature of 80 °C (10 hours). The proposed technological approach makes it possible to increase the shelf life of products while preserving nutritional value. The developed extruded system is promising for further implementation in the food industry, which will contribute to expanding the range of extruded products and increasing their market competitiveness. The effect of antioxidants – ascorbic and ferulic acids on the oxidative stability of lipids of the extruded system was studied: the content of ascorbic acid – 0.06...0.09 %, the content of ferulic acid – 0.10...0.15 %. The lipid component of the extruded system of the developed composition demonstrates a high level of oxidative stability (oxidation induction period – up to 22 hours). The obtained results indicate the possibility of using extruded systems with an increased ALA content to create specialized products with extended shelf life and reduced raw material costs

Published: December 2024

This research addresses the critical challenge of recognizing mutual actions involving multiple individuals, an important task for applications such as video surveillance, human-computer interaction, autonomous systems, and behavioral analysis. Identifying these actions from 3D skeleton motion sequences poses significant challenges due to the necessity of accurately capturing intricate spatial and temporal patterns in diverse, dynamic, and often unpredictable environments. To tackle this, a robust neural network framework was developed that combines Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for efficient spatial feature extraction with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to model temporal dependencies over extended sequences. A distinguishing feature of this study is the creation of a hybrid dataset that which combines real-world skeleton motion data with synthetically generated samples, produced using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). This dataset enriches variability, enhances generalization, and mitigates data scarcity challenges. Experimental findings across three different network architectures demonstrate that our method significantly enhances recognition accuracy, mainly due to the integration of CNNs and LSTMs alongside the broadened dataset. Our approach successfully identifies complex interactions and ensures consistent performance across different perspectives and environmental conditions. The improved reliability in recognition indicates that this framework can be effectively utilized in practical applications such as security systems, crowd monitoring, and other areas where precise detection of mutual actions is critical, particularly in real-time and dynamic environments

An issue related to using a weatherproof reactive coating for fire protection of wood is to ensure resistance to high-temperature flame via application technology. Therefore, the object of research was the fire-retardant properties of reactive coating based on mixtures of organic-inorganic substances during interaction with flame. It has been proven that the samples of the reactive coating represent an accumulation of fine-dispersed equally sized substances surrounded by a polymer binder, which begin to decompose under thermal action; in particular, ammonium polyphosphate decomposes and releases phosphoric acid. That leads to the dehydration of pentaerythrite with the formation of soot while the decomposition of melamine is accompanied by the release of non-combustible gases that cause the soot to foam, thereby forming foamcoke. The mechanism of fire protection of wood has been established, which is related to the decomposition of flame retardants under the influence of temperature, the release of non-combustible gases, and the formation of a non-flammable coke residue. Thus, when the content of ammonium polyphosphate and pentaerythrite in the reactive coating was increased by 5 %, the volume of combustible gases decreased by more than 11 %, and the volume of nitrogen increased by more than 10 %. When their content was increased by 14 %, the volume of combustible gases decreased by more than 2 times, and the volume of nitrogen increased by more than 1.45 times. That also affected the formation of a foamcoke layer, which was recorded at the lowest content of ammonium polyphosphate at the level of 12 mm and increased for higher values up to 15.5 mm, and the multiplicity of foam increased by 1.25 times. The practical significance is that the results are taken into account when designing the reactive coating. Thus, there are reasons to assert the possibility of targeted regulation of the wood protection process by applying coatings capable of forming a protective layer on the surfacev

The object of research is wine samples obtained by maceration of seeded and seedless skins from the autochthonous Madrasa grape variety. The studies were conducted on the autochthonous Madrasa grape variety the influence of the mechanical composition of the bunch and the applied technological methods on the wine composition and quality indicators of wine was not been studied. For the four variants with different numbers of bunches stored in the tin, the amount of lactic juice in % was 83.85–86.03 %, the structural index was 5.2–6.2, and no big difference was noticed between the variants. The amount of phenolic compounds was higher in the fermentation of the pulp with the seed than without the seed. The amount of phenolic compounds was highest (1.87 gAE/L) during alcohol fermentation, and lowest (1.22 gAE/L) during the rest period. The amount of anthocyanins in peel maceration with seeds was 0.118 gMvd-3-0-glu/u, this amount was 0.137 gMvd-3-0-glu/u in fermentation without seeds. After alcohol fermentation, those indicators were 0.140 and 0.208 gMvd-3-0-glu/u, reaching the maximum, respectively. The samples obtained from the Madrasa grape variety, macerated for 48 and 96 hours, were divided into two parts, one of which was fermented with natural yeasts (TQ) and the other with cultured yeasts (MMQ). The amount of total phenolic compounds and phenolic acids in TQ was lower than that of MMQ samples, and the amount of aromatic compounds, on the contrary, was higher in naturally fermented than in samples fermented with cultured yeasts. These studies are important for production in terms of regulating the number of clusters stored in the barrel and the processes occurring during the stages of wine production. The obtained results can be used in family farms and wineries

Published: December 2024

The object of this study is the mechanical properties and parameters of the cast iron microstructure. The task to solve was to ensure high mechanical properties of cast iron for mechanical engineering part. To this end, a working hypothesis was put forward, which assumed the possibility of increasing mechanical properties by selecting complex additives based on modifiers and alloying ferroalloys.
The effect of 4 groups of additives was investigated: group 1 – ferrochrome (FeCr025) and silicocalcium (SiCa-30), group 2 – ferrotitanium (FТі35) and ferroboral (FEB6), group 3 – ferrotitanium (FТі35) and ferrochrome (FeCr025), group 4 – ferroboral (FEB6) and silicocalcium (SiCa-30). They were introduced into the liquid metal in different percentages in the amount of 3 % of the mass of liquid cast iron. The following mechanical characteristics were selected: flexural strength (σ, MPa), tensile strength (UTS, MPa), deflection arrow (f, mm), hardness (HB), and whitening.
It was determined that the strength characteristics of cast iron treated with ferroalloys of group 1 reach a maximum at about 40 % silicocalcium in the composition of the additive. The tensile strength of cast iron reaches about 320 MPa, the bending strength is about 710 MPa, the deflection arrow is 4.5 mm, and the hardness corresponds to the HB250 level. The fact of competition of hardness and other mechanical properties was established in the range of silicocalcium content in the modifier composition up to 40 %. Thus, it was established that it is the combination FeCr025+SiCa-30 with the ratio of components of 40:60, respectively, that is rational.
The revealed regularities of changes in the amount of carbides, the size of graphite, and the amount of ferrite when using different additives allow us to explain patterns in the formation of mechanical properties of cast irons. Owing to this, it becomes possible to identify the mechanism of formation of properties, ensuring purposeful regulation of the quality of cast iron

O objetivo do trabalho consistiu em realizar uma análise da atuação do município de Mossoró-RN na implantação de infraestrutura verde ao longo do ano de 2022, que teve o Programa Mossoró Verde (PMV) como principal Política Pública para impulsionar as ações. O presente estudo se baseou em análise bibliográfica para embasamento teórico, além da análise documental de materiais de planejamento das ações do PMV dos relatórios mensais de ação e das planilhas de controle de plantio de mudas do programa, além de ser pesquisa participante e contar com a aplicação de questionário ao longo das ações para traçar o perfil dos participantes. Ao longo de 2022 foram distribuídas ou implantadas 19.551 mudas, onde as ornamentais foram as mais procuradas pela população e implantadas pelo município. O PMV contou com parcerias importantes na sua implantação, desde organizações da sociedade civil, escolas e empresas locais. O plantio e a doação de mudas ficaram como as duas principais destinações por parte do município. As ações puderam ser divididas em três tipos principais, sendo elas: plantio em equipamentos públicos ou instituições, doação de mudas para a população e realização de palestras. Quanto à percepção da população, pode-se afirmar que existe um claro interesse nas ações desenvolvidas, mas alguns aspectos precisam ser trabalhados, como o interesse por plantas nativas. O PMV abre caminho para ações mais intensas de arborização da cidade de Mossoró, mas precisa ter sua continuidade garantida para que se aumente o quantitativo de infraestrutura verde na cidade.

Published: December 2024

O emprego da cartografia social como instrumento educacional revelou-se fundamental para a entendimento dos espaços vividos pelos estudantes, permitindo a valorização da diversidade cultural e a promoção de uma educação mais inclusiva e contextualizada. A abordagem interativa e conjunta, fundamentada nos princípios de Paulo Freire, incentivou os alunos a serem protagonistas na construção do conhecimento, destacando a importância de reconhecer as múltiplas perspectivas presentes nas comunidades. Os mapas produzidos refletiram não apenas as características geográficas, mas também as dinâmicas sociais, as lutas de classes e os arranjos do poder que definem os territórios representados. A análise crítica dessas representações evidenciou a interconexão entre os diferentes elementos do cotidiano dos estudantes, contribuindo para uma compreensão mais profunda das dinâmicas locais. No entanto, é crucial reconhecer as limitações e desafios da pesquisa, como a necessidade de aprofundar a análise das estruturas do poder vigente nos mapas e a constante reflexão sobre a neutralidade e objetividade das representações. Assim, a aplicação da cartografia social no ensino de geografia provou ser uma ferramenta enriquecedora, que requer uma constante reflexão crítica e um aprimoramento das práticas pedagógicas para promover uma educação mais democrática e emancipatória.

Published: December 2024

A partir dos pressupostos mais-que-representacionais este artigo epistemológico visa analisar os impactos dos ritmos e direções para o comportamento humano e, de retorno, para o arranjo do próprio espaço. Para tanto, apropria-se das relações afetivo-performáticas para construir um arcabouço teórico que apresenta o espaço e a categoria lugar dialética e concomitantemente como palcos e subprodutos das relações de poder. Para além das considerações teóricas, acerca da manipulação afetiva, por intermédio do controle dos ritmos e das direções, o artigo abre outra possibilidade de avaliação: considerando a natureza espaço-temporalmente sitiada da experiência, conclui-se que é plausível inferir que controles rítmicos e vetoriais impactem, remotamente, na constituição dos lugares.

O Brasil possui uma rica diversidade de fauna e flora, caracterizada pela interação direta e contínua com o ser humano. Segundo ambientalistas preservacionistas, essa relação tem sido um fator importante na degradação da biodiversidade. Nesse cenário, as Unidades de Conservação (UC) surgem como estratégia para a proteção desses ambientes. No entanto, embora a criação das UC seja importante para a preservação ambiental, as restrições impostas pelo Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio) às comunidades que já habitavam essas áreas, antes de sua legalização, limitam atividades essenciais para a subsistência desses grupos. Este artigo visa analisar até que ponto essas restrições dificultam a produção e a reprodução do modo de vida camponês, com ênfase na comunidade tradicional de Tucuns, localizada no Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses (PNLM). A pesquisa, baseada no método de análise e observação participante, permitiu identificar os principais desafios enfrentados pela comunidade de Tucuns em decorrência das restrições estabelecidas pelo órgão gestor.

Published: December 2024

In modern trade enterprises, the productive use of information systems is a necessary tool for competitiveness maintenance and effective management. Along with the traditional automation of business processes, it is relevant to improve the existing information systems of the enterprise, for which it is necessary to make informed, balanced, and optimal decisions. When selecting information systems or software, it is an important to analyze multiple factors, criteria, and alternatives that affect the efficiency and sustainable development of the organization as a whole. Companies in the trade sector often face the problem of isolating their document management systems from the unified information system of the organization, which makes the company vulnerable to competitors. To solve this problem, it is necessary to introduce a more modern and integrated document management system. In this article, the analysis of software products is carried out, and with the help of the method of hierarchy analysis, the choice of suitable software is made according to the suggested requirements. The system is built on the basis of a hierarchical structure in which selection criteria and sub-criteria are defined and compared, and alternatives are established and assessed in accordance with software market trends. As a proof of the suggested concept, its application in the company Tamerlan is given. The concept is universal, as it can be practically implemented in any business context since the criteria and sub-criteria cover most of the needs of any trade organization. In this regard, it can be considered a holistic approach to decision support in the process of software product selection when managing the development of the enterprise information system.

The key indicators of the Strategy were analyzed, i.e., GRP, index of physical volume of investments in fixed assets, investments in fixed assets, number of employees, unemployment rate, consumer price index, real wages of employees of organizations, index of physical volume of retail trade turnover, retail trade turnover, nominal accrued wages, and demographic load factor (per 1,000 persons of working age). There are also indicators present in both editions. The following adjustments to the Social and Economic Development Strategy of the Volgograd Region in 2023 were identified: 1) qualitative ones due to the improvement of the legal system, 2) quantitative ones due to the replacement of previously specified planned values with actually achieved values. Most of the planned targets were achieved. The conclusion is drawn about generally positive regional changes. To clarify the reasons for the uneven performance of indicators, a cognitive map of Strategy was formed, which provides characteristics of the relationships between indicators. Based on correlation analysis, the integral characteristic of economic development is GRP, and as for social development, it is the dependency ratio. The main part of the relationships between key indicators corresponds to the provisions of economic theory. Indicators for which there is no standard connection are presented. This phenomenon is explained by the authors as the effect of the digital economy. The article suggests measures for further adjustments, taking into account the relationships between Strategy indicators.

The All-Russian Forum “Strategic Planning in Russian Regions and Cities: Simplifying Strategies, Strengthening Cooperation” held in St. Petersburg (October 30–31, 2023), followed by the 7 th All-Russian Strategic Development Forum “Cities of Russia: New Frontiers” (November 16–17, 2023) in Yekaterinburg, confirmed that the development of urban agglomerations is currently considered one of the strategic directions of the country’s spatial development and that the agglomeration phenomenon is a reality of modern global and domestic development. The general line of both forums, in fact, was the topic of agglomerations’ development based on long-term plans for social and economic development (hereinafter referred to as long-term plans) for large and the largest urban agglomerations on the basis of Methodological Guidelines approved by the Economic Development Ministry of the Russian Federation on September 26, 2023. They contain a detailed description of the document’s development stages, but the financing sources for the activities of the urban agglomerations’ plans are not clearly identified. At the same time, there are some examples of funds’ allocation from the federal budget in terms of co-financing from regional budgets for the measures of at least five spatial and socio-economic development master plans until 2030: Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Ulan-Ude, Severobaikalsk, Chita and Tynda urban agglomerations, but the legal status of these territory planning documents as well as the rules for their development are missing. It should be noted that in 2020–2021, the Government of the Russian Federation approved the list of rural agglomerations, and since 2023, the implementation of an initiative for the development of support settlements and adjacent territories, which form together rural agglomerations, began; in total, plans will be developed to maintain 1.8 thousand agglomerations until 2030, which will help to solve the population life quality improvement issues comprehensively and have a positive impact on reducing the rate of migration to large cities. The authors believe that a single document on agglomeration territory planning is necessary, and in this article, they justify their point of view.

The article analyses the results of scientific research on cross-border interaction carried out by Russian authors over the past 26 years. This allowed us to identify a wide range of research areas dealing with various aspects of economic, social, political, cultural and other ties between border regions. The relevance of scientific research in the field of cross-border cooperation and economic integration in border regions is due to their high economic and social significance as a space of contact between different states and markets. It was found that interregional cross-border socio-economic relations and the process of economic integration in border regions remain insufficiently researched aspects of regional economic theory. In addition, the system of indicators that allows us to give a comprehensive assessment of interregional cross-border economic interactions has not been developed yet. It was found that the reduction of the barrier function of border and economic integration of two border regions can occur under the conditions of sustainable in-system equilibrium and the complicatedly structured movement of factors of production from each border economic system through the “channels of integration.” The functioning of these “channels” results in the development of the economic potential of border regions and changes in economic activity and quality of life on their territory. The article suggests the structure of components of economic potential, economic activity and quality of life in border regions, taking into account six active factors of production, including human, natural-resource, technical-technological, institutional, organisational and information factors. It is proposed to study the process of regions’ involvement in cross-border integration processes on the basis of a preliminary assessment of their economic potential, economic activity and quality of life, as well as in the coordinates of competitiveness, sustainability and security of regional development, in connection with which a system of indicators of the competitiveness, sustainability and security development of cross-border economic integration is developed.

In recent years, all industries and sectors of the economy have been subject to strong and not always positive impacts on the conditions of their functioning. One of the economic complexes that have been subjected to such a multilateral and clearly negative impact is the timber industry complex. The purpose of the article is to identify the main factors of the external and internal environment of the activities of the enterprises of the timber industry complex, which have the greatest impact on the results of the activities of enterprises of the timber industry complex in the main forest regions of the country. Using the methods of contextual and comparative analysis, the main factors influencing the activities of logging and wood processing enterprises in modern conditions have been identified and analyzed. Statistical analysis made it possible to substantiate the main conclusions about the state of the main segments of the timber industry complex and the prospects for their development. It is shown that anti-Russian sanctions have made fundamental changes in the commodity structure of production as well as in the structure and directions of export of a number of types of products of the timber industry complex, such as plywood, wood pellets, and lumber. Particularly noted was the ambiguous but clearly negative situation in the production and sale of wood pellets and plywood. It was revealed that despite the general decline in demand (and, accordingly, production) for wood pellets, different regions of Russia experienced these losses differently. It is shown that among all the sanctioned goods, the production of wood pellets has the greatest significance and importance both for the Russian timber industry itself and for other sectors of the country’s economy, and it is on them that the state should focus its attention as part of anti-sanctions support. The capabilities of the state and municipal authorities in stabilizing the situation are analyzed. It is concluded that a sharp increase in the uncertainty of the state of the external environment increases the level of risk in the activities of enterprises, which requires the creation of an effective risk management system based on a multifactor model of risk-oriented behavior.
