Respuesta de una población de Solanum berthaultii Hawkes frente a Phytophthora infestans y su relación con la densidad y tipo de tricomas
Authors: Capezio S. , Tassara A. , Bedogni M. C. , Huarte M.
Published: May 2020

Ciento siete genotipos de Solanum berthaultii (ber) provenientes del cruzamiento de los genotipos OKA 5880.22 y OKA 5632.11 del Banco de Germoplasma de la EEA Balcarce y los progenitores se evaluaron con el objetivo de determinar la variabilidad de la población frente a P. infestans, el tipo y la densidad de tricomas y la relación entre las variables. Se calculó el área bajo la curva de progreso de la enfermedad (AUDPC) para cada genotipo. Se realizaron recuentos de tricomas en dos estadíos fenológicos, cuando la planta tenía entre cuatro y cinco hojas desarrolladas y en madurez fisiológica, a los 90 días después de plantación. Se observaron diferencias significativas (p<0.05) en el valor de AUDPC entre los genotipos evaluados. Se concluyó que hay variabilidad para la densidad y tipo de tricomas y para el comportamiento frente a tizón tardío, lo cual indica que existe variabilidad fenotípica para estos caracteres en esta población de S.berthaultii. No hay correlación entre densidad y tipo de tricomas y la incidencia al tizón tardío en S. berthaultii. Por ello existe un buen potencial para el uso de esta especie para mejoramiento por estas características.
Breeding for nutritional quality and pest resistance: potential of a set of non-commercial tetraploid potato cultivars with purple and red flesh
Authors: Tierno R. , Ruiz de Galarreta J. I.
Published: May 2020

Potatoes are the most widely cultivated tubers and also a valuable source of nutrients and non-nutrient health-promoting compounds. Cultivars with pigmented skin and flesh are of especial interest due to the presence of high concentrations of carotenoids, anthocyanins, flavonoids and phenolic acids. Several investigations have focused on the characterization of native and wild potato accessions, particularly highly pigmented genotypes in order to broaden the overall genetic variation in terms of commercial and processing aptitude, pest resistance and nutritional quality. However, the incorporation of some of these traits into new breeding lines at the tetraploid level is hampered by the presence of detrimental traits as well as varying ploidy levels. Therefore, a set of ten highly-pigmented tetraploid cultivars (Solanum tuberosum L.) was selected and characterized on the basis of tuber morphology, pest resistance and nutritional related traits in order to select parental lines for breeding. Attractive colors and color patterns with potential for the potato snack industry have been identified. Varying degrees of resistance to Globodera spp. and Phythophora infestans, which are considered major threats for the crop, have been found among the collection of pigmented cultivars. Nutritional quality related parameters including significantly higher levels of phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, carotenoids, vitamin C and micronutrients (Zn and Fe) were found when compared with the commercial cultivars used as checks. These findings could assist in the selection of parents (progenitors) towards the introduction of interesting traits into new potato advanced clones at the tetraploid level, without the problems derived from ploidy levels and non-commercial characteristics.

Published: May 2020

Con el objetivo de determinar el efecto de la interacción genotipo por ambiente (GEI) sobre el contenido de hierro (Fe), zinc (Zn) y vitamina C (VC) en papa, se establecieron ensayos en cuatro ambientes de la Sierra Ecuatoriana. Se evaluó el rendimiento, los contenidos de Fe, Zn, VC y se estimó la heredabilidad en el sentido amplio (H2). Como resultado se obtuvo un efecto significativo de los factores en estudio para los diferentes contenidos. La H2 fue de 0.32, 0.20, 0.35 y 0.80 para Fe, Zn, VC y rendimiento respectivamente. Esta investigación mostró genotipos con altos contenidos de Fe (> 43 μg. g-1 de peso seco promedio) como INIAP-Victoria, Superchola y los clones 98-38-12 y 07-32-1, en cuanto al Zn (>18 μg. g-1 de peso seco promedio) los clones 07-40-1, 07-32-1, 07-46-8 y la variedad INIAP-Victoria presentaron valores altos, mientras que para vitamina C (> 98 mg. 100 g-1 de peso fresco promedio) el clon 07-24-18 presentó el mayor contenido y finalmente los genotipos con rendimientos superiores a 40 t. ha-1 fueron el clon 98-2-6 y las variedades INIAP-Estela, INIAP-Fripapa e INIAP-Victoria. Las concentraciones de Fe, Zn y VC fueron significativamente afectadas por el genotipo, el ambiente y su interacción. Sin embargo, la mayor variación se debió al efecto del ambiente la cual estuvo principalmente asociada con la fertilización, humedad y pH del suelo.

Published: May 2020

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el rendimiento y la calidad de los tubérculos de papa en cosecha temprana para identificar clones con madurez precoz. Nueve clones avanzados y tres cultivares testigos fueron cosechados en las condiciones de cultivo subtropical del sur del Brasil. Las cosechas fueran realizadas a los 70 y 90 días después de la siembra en el cultivo de otoño y 70 días en la primavera. Los experimentos se realizaron en un diseño de bloques completos al azar con tres repeticiones de ocho plantas por unidad experimental. Fueron determinados: el rendimiento de tubérculos, contenido de materia seca, azúcares reductores y sacarosa en los tubérculos. Los tubérculos producidos en el otoño alcanzaron similar madurez (contenido de materia seca y sacarosa) a los 20 días después de aquellos que fueron cosechados en la primavera. Ninguno de los clones evaluados combina precocidad con calidad de los tubérculos.

Published: May 2020

Esta publicación tiene como objetivo compartir la experiencia piloto en el cambio varietal de papa con aptitud para la industria en Bolivia. Los cultivares Pafrita, Pinker y Jatun Puka (Unica) fueron caracterizados morfológicamente, agronómicamente y para papas prefritas congeladas (PPFC). Se entregaron plántulas in vitro de alta calidad genética-sanitaria al INIAF y SEPA. En la experiencia se busca que estas empresas a demanda provean de semilla pre-básica a las unidades productivas familiares semilleristas (UPF semilleristas) de altura (> 4.000 msnm) de Norte Ayopaya - Cochabamba (FEDESCO) y Villazón - Potosí (APROSEPA). A su vez éstas UPF semilleristas atiendan la demanda de semilla categorías altas (Básica I, II y III) de las UPF semilleristas de categorías intermedias (Registrada, certificada y fiscalizada) de alturas intermedias (3.000 a 3.400 msnm), ubicadas en Morochata, Colomi, Tiraque, Carrasco, Palca, etc. Estas UPF de alturas intermedias satisfacerán la demanda de las UPF productoras de papa de Colomi, Morochata y Capinota (< a 2.800 msnm) respectivamente. Finalmente estas UPFs satisfacerán la demanda de la industria y de los establecimientos de comidas rápidas en la ciudad de Cochabamba. Se espera que esta demanda sea permanente y fluya generando un círculo virtuoso desde la demanda del consumidor hasta la oferta del producto.
Management of early blight (Alternaria solani Sorauer) in processing potato crops with new fungicides – phytopathological and physiological implicancies
Authors: Suárez, D.O. Caldiz A.B. Andreu, C. de Lasa, P.A.
Published: May 2020

In Argentina, 75,000 ha of potatoes are grown annually and close to 25% of this area is grown for the processing industry. Among the impact of other diseases and pests, early blight (Alternaria solani Sorauer) infections could reduce yield by up to 20%. Hence, the objective of this work was to assess the impact of a new-generation of fungicides (Boscalid + Pyraclostrobin - Bellis®- BASF Argentina) on early blight management. Results showed that foliar applications of Boscalid + Pyraclostrobin, were not only effective in controlling the disease, but they also promoted a stay-green effect and a positive impact on yield and quality in the processing cultivars Daisy and Innovator. Besides, Boscalid + Pyraclostrobin treated tubers showed an increased level of phytoalexins and stress oxidative enzymes related to defense mechanisms, such as peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase. Also, an increased deposition of cell wall reinforcement components such as phenols and lignin was observed. Thus, management of these processing varieties with Boscalid + Pyraclostrobin not only contributes to protect the foliage, but also increase yield and quality and induces the development of systemic acquired resistance that improves tuber storability.

Published: May 2020

Se calculó el rendimiento potencial del cultivo de papa en Balcarce (Buenos Aires, Argentina, latitud 37° 45' S), y se analizaron las causas de las diferencias entre el mencionado rendimiento y el real.El rendimiento potencial se estimó según el modelo de Van der Zaag. El rendimiento real se estudió en tres fechas de plantación (29/09,10/10 y 10/11/86) en dos localidades del Partido de Balcarce. El rendimiento potencial promedio fue de 88 t.ha-1 de tubérculo en peso fresco. La fecha intermedia de plantación alcanzó los mayores rendimientos reales, estos llegaron, aproximadamente al 50% del valor del rendimiento potencial. Las diferencias entre ambos rendimientos estuvieron dadas por deficiencias de intercepción de radiación fotosintéticamente activa y en productividad de follaje. Las fechas temprana y tardía tuvieron menores rendimientos en tubérculos debido principalmente a mayores limitaciones en productividad de follaje y en intercepción de radiación, respectivamente.

Published: May 2020

Experimentos en producción de semilla sexual de papa (SSP) realizados durante cinco años en diferentes zonas de Nicaragua ubicadas entre los 900 y 1,400 msnm, muestran la factibilidad de producir en esta región tropical, SSP de buen vigor germinativo, rendimiento de tubérculos y en cantidades suficientes para satisfacer la demanda nacional de semilla. En las zonas altas del departamento de Estelí ubicadas entre los 1,300 y 1,400 msnm, durante los meses de mayo-agosto, en los que se registran promedios de temperaturas máximas/mínimas de 27 °C/15 °C, temperaturas del suelo de 20 °C, 13 hr de luz y precipitaciones de 300 mm durante dicho período, han mostrado ser las mejores condiciones locales para la producción de SSP. En 1991 se produjeron 5 Kg. de SSP de polinización libre (PL) empleando clones selectos; semilla de los clones Serrana INTA, CFK-69.1, LT- 7 y Atzimba mostraron mayor o similar vigor que algunas progenies híbridas producidas por CIP e India, y obtuvieron rendimientos de tubérculos-semillas en almacigos de 9.1,7.4,6.7 y 6.1 Kg./m2 respectivamente. En 1992 se produjo 7.12 Kg. de SSP híbrida de los cruzamientos Serrana x LT-7 (2.46 Kg.) y Serrana x 104.12 LB (4.66 Kg.) con aplicaciones adicionales de N (240 Kg./ha) y de N más P (240 Kg. N/ ha + 600 Kg. P/ha) durante la floración de las plantas madres. A los 105 días de almacenamiento, las semillas de Serrana x 104.12 LB y Serrana x LT-7 de las plantas madre que recibieron suministro excedente de N+P, mostraron mayor porcentaje de germinación (99.0% y 95.0%) y el coeficiente de velocidad CoV (20.7 y 20.5) que aquellas cuyas plantas madre recibieron sólo N adicional (87.3% y 76.8% de germinación; 19.7y 19.2 de CoV).

Minimum Degree Conditions for Small Percolating Sets in Bootstrap Percolation
Authors: Gunderson Karen
Published: May 2020

The $r$-neighbour bootstrap process is an update rule for the states of vertices in which `uninfected' vertices with at least $r$ `infected' neighbours become infected and a set of initially infected vertices is said to percolate if eventually all vertices are infected.  For every $r \geq 3$, a sharp condition is given for the minimum degree of a sufficiently large graph that guarantees the existence of a percolating set of size $r$.  In the case $r=3$, for $n$ large enough, any graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree $\lfloor n/2 \rfloor +1$ has a percolating set of size $3$ and for $r \geq 4$ and $n$ large enough (in terms of $r$), every graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree $\lfloor n/2 \rfloor + (r-3)$ has a percolating set of size $r$.  A class of examples are given to show the sharpness of these results.
Bipartite Induced Density in Triangle-Free Graphs

Published: May 2020

We prove that any triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $d$ contains a bipartite induced subgraph of minimum degree at least $d^2/(2n)$. This is sharp up to a logarithmic factor in $n$. Relatedly, we show that the fractional chromatic number of any such triangle-free graph is at most the minimum of $n/d$ and $(2+o(1))\sqrt{n/\log n}$ as $n\to\infty$. This is sharp up to constant factors. Similarly, we show that the list chromatic number of any such triangle-free graph is at most $O(\min\{\sqrt{n},(n\log n)/d\})$ as $n\to\infty$.

Relatedly, we also make two conjectures. First, any triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices has fractional chromatic number at most $(\sqrt{2}+o(1))\sqrt{n/\log n}$ as $n\to\infty$. Second, any  triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices has list chromatic number at most $O(\sqrt{n/\log n})$ as $n\to\infty$.

Published: May 2020

Postpartum is recognized as a critical period in many cultures, when societies view mothers as vulnerable. A longitudinal qualitative study of pregnant women in the rural area of Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan, Indonesia was conducted to explore cultural beliefs and practices during the postpartum period. Ethnography approach was performed and the data on the postpartum period are presented. Intensity sampling was used to select informants from Muara Kaman Ulu and Ilir villages, Muara Kaman Sub district, Kutai Kartanegara and in-depth interviews were conducted with 17 Kutai postpartum women, two midwives, and two traditional birth attendants. Data analyses were conducted using the thematic analysis method. The main health problem occurring in the postpartum period is called “kamboh”. It is a whole body ache with many symptoms, mainly fever, becoming skinny, with burning sensation that suddenly appears on the legs, itchiness and shivering. In order to prevent it women should undergo dietary and physical activity restrictions for 40 days. Certain foods were perceived as the possible causes of the itchy condition, delayed wound healing and hemorrhage. Following the traditional taboo, going outside the house and working hard were restricted. Close families and traditional birth attendants play important roles to ensure compliance of postpartum women to these restrictions. Understanding of cultural beliefs during the postpartum period is critical to support women. Therefore, health promotion interventions with particular attention to diet and physical activity should be designed by taking into account the local practices.

Low contraceptive uptake among men remains significant issues in Indonesia. Hence, this study seeks to understand the association between socio-demographic factors and men’s contraceptive use in Indonesia by utilizing the 2012 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS), couple dataset. Bivariate analysis was conducted by performing a chi-squared test of independence to analyse the relationship between selected socio-demographic factors and the dependent variable. A binary logistic regression model was considered to identify the effects of covariates. Place of residence, husbands’ approval on family planning, husbands and wives knew family planning from newspaper/magazine, and the perception that contraception is woman’s business were significant predictors according to the IDHS. Programs related to gender-sensitive campaign about family planning and gender-sensitive curricula in schools are needed for encouraging men to use contraception.

Literature has documented that student nurses undergo stress in their academic and clinical setting. This raises concerns because stress during undergraduate training may result in psychological or emotional impairment during the nurses’ professional life and ultimately affect the quality of patient care. The Objective of the study was to study the prevalence of stress, and the association between sociodemographic factors, stressors and coping strategies with stress. This was a cross-sectional study on 96-year 1-3 nursing students from a government university done between 2015-2018. Bahasa Malaysia translated The General Health Questionnaire, Stressors in Nursing Student Scale Questionnaire and Brief COPE Questionnaire was used in this study. This study had Malay (95.9%) and female (91.7%) dominated population. The prevalence of stress in student nurses was 25%. No association was reported between sociodemographic factors and stress. Among the 4 stressors educational, clinical, confidence and financial, clinical stressor scored the highest mean 6.40 (SD±3.66). Confidence stressor (AOR=1.26 95% CI 1.04-1.53) was the only stressor associated with stress. The top 3 coping strategies practiced by the student nurses were religion (praying), acceptance and planning. Self-blame (AOR 8.18 95% CI 1.86-35.91) was the only coping strategy associated with stress. Stress management programmes, and workshops on stress and coping strategies should be conducted yearly to ensure a well-balanced environment for good learning experiences and prevent stress related health problems and improved academic performance.

Acute pain service (APS) offer several techniques to the post-operative patient in controlling and relieving the pain such as intravenous infusion, patient-controlled analgesia, epidural infusion, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection and intrathecal administration. The effectiveness of and satisfaction towards APS is not clearly defined. Therefore, the aim of this study is to conduct the cost analysis and comparison between these techniques and patient satisfaction. The study design for cost analysis was retrospective study. The means of the data were calculated based on Integration Store of Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan records. In addition, the evaluation of patient’s satisfaction was conducted by using a cross-sectional study design. The mean of the data was calculated and analysed by using Chi-square test. The total cost required to prepare PCA for post-operative patient was the highest with RM 8810.98.  Meanwhile, the cost for subcutaneous morphine injection, epidural infusion and peripheral block injection were RM 2.11, RM 5323.95 and RM 4.95 respectively. However, when taking into the aspect of patient’s satisfaction, PCA has the highest level of excellent performance with 54.6% compare to EDA (33%) and BLOCK (12.4%) with the p-value is less than 0.05. In conclusion, every drug has its own side effects. As the healthcare provider, it is a need to ensure drugs that were given to the patients are at the very minimum risk of having the side effects. Based on the findings of this study, it could be said that both drugs have lower percentage of people experienced the side effect after treated with the drugs. Therefore, the future study should be more focusing on the side effect of the drugs used. In terms of cost spent for the methods, the PCA regimen is more likely expensive compared to the conventional methods. However, based on survey among the patients, PCA-treated patients expressed higher satisfaction compared to the conventional regimen of pain management.

THE ROLE OF SOYBEAN FOR REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

 

ABSTRACT

Soybean is a Leguminoceae plant, which contains isoflavone compounds. Its chemical structure resembles 17β-estradiol which has ability to bind to estrogen receptors which can affect the human reproductive system. The purpose of this review literature is to determine the effect of soy on the human reproductive system. Using research articles and books related to the effect of soy on the reproductive system from 2000 to 2018. Various experimental studies conducted showed that soy has an effect on the human reproductive system. Soy can cause FSH secretion, decreased LH secretion and increasing the free concentration of estradiol. Decreased FSH and LH can cause disruption in the menstrual cycle, especially in the follicular phase and ovulation, if the follicular phase is disrupted then the menstrual cycle will become irregular. In addition, phytoestrogens contained in soy are known to inhibit 17-β hydroxysteroidoxidoreductase, resulting in a decrease in testosterone levels.

Ascaridosis is a common parasitic infection among children that can cause various complications. The aim of the study was to determine the condition of the abdominal organs according to ultrasound diagnostics in children with a confirmed diagnosis of ascariasis. 45 children with ascariasis and 35 children of the control group were examined. It was determined that in most cases in the group with ascariasis the following changes are recorded: an increase in the “brightness” of the liver texture, an increase in the size of mesenteric lymph nodes, and the presence of a gastroesophageal reflux.
Key words: ascariasis, children, ultrasound diagnostics, liver, mesenteric lymph nodes, hydrosonography, stomach, esophagus.

Armoracia rusticana � horseradish is a well-known vegetable used from ancient times and consumed nowadays more for its taste than its pharmacological properties, even though it proved to be a good agent in fighting several health problems. This study focuses on a comparative assessment of several horseradish hydro-alcoholic extracts, obtained from roots and sprouts, respectively, mainly evaluating the antioxidant activity but also a potential cytotoxic effect. The DPPH evaluation revealed that horseradish extracts made from roots or sprouts exhibit a strong antioxidant activity compared to the ascorbic acid used as etalon. The in vitro evaluation established that a significant inhibitory effect on cell viability and morphology of MDA-MB-231 � breast adenocarcinoma cell line was displayed by the hydroalcoholic extracts in a dose-dependent manner.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micro-morphology analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDX) component analysis were conducted on the fouling of continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) sampling tube at the outlet of limestone-gypsum wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) of unit 1 in a 600 MW supercritical coal-fired power plant in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The results show that the main component of fouling was ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, which was generated by the reaction between phosphoric acid in the phosphoric acid titration device and the NH3 escaping from the selective catalyst reduction (SCR) denitrification system, and corresponding treatment measures were taken. It indicates that the average value of ammonia escape was reduced from 1.79 ppm to 1.54 ppm through the ammonia injection optimization test of the SCR denitrification system (at the load of 410 MW of the unit), which effectively reduced the generation of fouling. This research provides reference for improving the reliability of coal-fired unit operation after ultra-low emission transformation.

The derivative of flavonoid compounds, artocarpin (1) and artonin M (2), were isolated from the root wood of Artocarpus altilis and from the root bark of A. kemando, respectively. Both plants originated from Lampung, Indonesia. The structure of the two compounds has been carefully determined by physical method and spectroscopy techniques of UV, IR, and NMR. The in vivo antimalarial test of artocarpin showed very good Plasmodium activity in female mice, with ED50 value of 34.88 mg/kg body weight (kgBW), whereas the in vitro antimalarial test of artonin M showed very strong activity with IC50 of 0.3 μg/mL (5.967 x 10-7 M).
Serious Games - Communication Aspects of VR Cadet Training Information Model
Authors: Tuta Jadranko , Luić Ljerka
Published: May 2020

The paper deals with the communication aspects of training cadets using serious virtual reality games and is an initial step in defining the framework of a standard VR information model in the military training aimed at defining additional categories of data that do not appear in any of the existing information models. The first part of the paper deals with the conceptual definition of serious games, and in the following, the process of simulating serious games in training cadets is elaborated. The research problem is primarily focused on examining the communication aspects of a theoretically designed serious game and its effects. For the purpose of designing the VR information model, a pilot survey was conducted with cadets of the Croatian Military Academy, using 113 questionnaires, with 113 of them from all generations of training. The obtained results confirmed the initial assumption about the correlation of serious game and simulation game in the domain of virtual reality. In addition, the results indicate a potential correlation between the frequency of performing a particular type of serious play and the selection of military service. All of the above implies the need for further systematic research into the subject matter.

Este trabajo estudia el tratamiento del espacio público en las novelas Guanuma (1914), de Federico García Godoy, y La sangre: Una vida bajo la tiranía (1913), de Tulio Manuel Cestero. Las imágenes captadas por los personajes durante sus recorridos por las calles de la ciudad superponen de las formas generadas por la irrupción de la modernidad a las ruinas del pasado colonial. El resultado es una interpretación ambivalente de la realidad nacional, a través de la cual se puede percibir la ansiedad que despertaba en los intelectuales dominicanos la creciente influencia de los Estados Unidos en los asuntos internos del país.

Limited information exists about enrollment in Part D prescription coverage by Medicare beneficiaries with cancer. Part D coverage may increase access to medicines. This study evaluated patterns of Part D uptake and costs and assessed the effects of coverage on hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) use among people with colorectal cancer (CRC). We analyzed Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)–Medicare linked data on fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare beneficiaries with at least 36 months of follow-up who were diagnosed with CRC at any point from January 2007 through December 2010, and a matched cohort of beneficiaries without cancer. Dual (Medicare/Medicaid) enrollees were excluded because they are automatically enrolled in Part D. Among beneficiaries with CRC (n=12,774), 39 percent had complete Part D coverage, defined as coverage in the diagnosis year and 2 subsequent years; the rate was 38 percent in the matched comparison cohort (P=.119). Among those with complete Part D coverage, there was no significant difference in annual prescription drug costs between people with CRC ($3,157, 95% confidence interval [CI]: $3,098–$3,216) and without ($3,113, 95% CI: $3,054–$3,172). Among people with CRC, odds of ED use ranged from unchanged to marginally higher for those with no or partial Part D coverage, (adjusted odds ratio: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.00–1.18), compared with those with complete Part D coverage. Lack of continuous Part D coverage was associated with more ED use among Medicare FFS beneficiaries with CRC in 2007–2013. Among people with Part D coverage, prescription drug costs varied little between those with CRC and matched beneficiaries without cancer.

ТИПИ ЕКОЛОГІЧНИХ ПРОЄКТІВ ТА АЛГОРИТМ ЇХНЬОГО РОЗРОБЛЕННЯ НА ОСНОВІ ПРОЄКТНО-ЗАДАЧНОГО ПІДХОДУ
Authors: Зелений П. О.
Published: May 2020

У статті зазначено проблему застосування проєктного підходу в екологічній освіті учнів ліцеїв, що пов’язана із відсутністю в теорії педагогіки типології екологічних проєктів та алгоритму їхнього розроблення, результатом чого є використання учнями інформації із легкодоступних джерел. У кінцевому результаті проєкти, що розробляють учні, за їхньою змістовністю містять поверхневу екологічну інформацію теоретичного характеру.

Зазначено джерельну базу, що створюють основу для обґрунтування типів і видів задач, що можуть застосовуватись у навчальній діяльності під час вирішення екологічних проблем.

Наголошено на доцільності використання проєктного підходу в поєднанні із іншими, зокрема, із задачним підходом, ефективність якого підсилюється доповненням проблемним підходом, який в екологічній діяльності може розв’язувати проблеми різних рівнів.

Проведено аналіз вихідного поняття задачного підходу «задача» та «проблема», оскільки задача в готовому вигляді існує лише в підручниках, у проєктній діяльності проблемна ситуація та проблема є первинними, для вирішення якої необхідно розв’язувати задачі певних типів і видів.

Обґрунтовано типи екологічних проєктів, які відповідають типам задач, що існують у теорії задачного підходу та можуть розв’язуватись учнями в умовах навчальної діяльності. Показано їхню залежність від рівнів екологічних проблем. Окреслено характеристику таких проєктів, та характер знань, що здобувають учні під час розроблення таких проєктів. Запропоновано алгоритм розроблення екологічних проєктів, який зумовлений логікою процесу розв’язування задач шести видів. Застосування такого алгоритму сприяє залученню міжпредметних знань, що є необхідним в екологічній діяльності; урахуванню особистісних характеристик і потенціалу учнів у роботі над проєктом.
