POPÜLER KÜLTÜRÜN BİR ÖĞESİ OLARAK TESETTÜR MODASI
Authors: ADIGÜZEL Muhammet Metin
Published: December 2023

II. Dünya Savaşı sonrası süreçte geleneksel basılı medyanın yerini görsel, renkli, hareketli ve daha ulaşılabilir bir medya almıştır. Bu medya popüler kültürün ön plana çıktığı, yaşamın tüketim, gösteriş, eğlence ve sansasyon gibi yüzeysel düzeyde ele alındığı bir dönemi başlatmıştır. Türkiye’de 1950’lerde laik kesimi 1980’lerde de muhafazakâr kesimi kendisine çeken popüler kültür, 2000’li yıllara varıldığında yaşam dünyasını ve kamusal alanı etkisi altına almayı başarmıştır. Muhafazakâr toplumun popüler kültürle imtihanının en net gözlemlenebildiği alan tesettür olgusudur. Tesettür 1990’lara doğru adım adım gösteri ve tüketim unsurlarını içerecek şekilde yeniden üretilmiş ve postmodern bir zeminde moda olgusu tarafından massedilmiştir. Tesettür moda ile buluşurken, samimiyet veya geleneksel takva anlayışı bilinçli veya bilinç-dışı bir şekilde yerini kamusal imaja ve imgeleme bırakmıştır. Gelenek ile modernite arasındaki çatışmanın yorumlayıcı (hermenötik) bir çeviri yoluyla bugüne aktarılamaması ve modern çağa uygun bir inanç-yaşam dünyasının kurulamaması yeni nesilleri mücadele halinde oldukları şeyi taklitle bu çıkmazdan kurtulmaya yöneltmiştir. Çalışma betimsel bir araştırma olup; tesettür modasına uzanan yolu makro bir çerçedeveden ele alıp mikro bağlamda destekleyerek bir açıklama getirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Possibility and Prospects of Launching Exchange-Traded Funds in Armenia
Authors: GEVORGYAN GAYANE
Published: December 2023

The last three years have been challenging for the whole world economy and
financial sector. The expectations of recession, growing inflation and continuously
falling securities market resulted in inefficiency of taking risk of an individual company.
This brings the necessity of diversification in investments which can be reached by
using Exchange-traded funds(ETF). By investing in ETFs one receives a diversified
portfolio which is managed by professionals.
Taking into account the current development level of the Armenian capital market
and Armenian investor’s needs, professional and investing skills, ETFs are the exact
instrument that the Armenian market needs. However creating a new instrument in a
market is a very challenging process with a list of difficulties. First of all, there should
be a well-designed legislative framework which will manage to effectively regulate the
market. The feasibility of launching a financial instrument can also depend on other
factors, such as demand and supply for that instrument, the creation of competition in
the industry, the provision of liquidity and effectiveness of the new market.
However, our studies determine that Armenia has an appropriate regulatory and
investment environment to accept ETFs as an investing instrument. Moreveor, the
analysis shows that launching an ETF can bring a new development for the Armenian
capital market.

Authors: BABAYAN ROBERT
Published: December 2023

The paper explores the business planning
challenges facing startup (IT) companies in Armenia. It examines
the challenges that startups face when developing business plans.
The analysis focuses on issues such as market volatility, limited
access to financing, talent retention, and insufficient strategic
planning. In addition, the paper highlights the importance of
addressing these challenges to increase the competitiveness and
success of Armenian startup (IT) companies. By recognizing and
overcoming these planning challenges, startup (IT) companies in
Armenia can maximize their potential and contribute to the growth
of the country's technology sector.
However, there are some limitations to the study. The sample
size is relatively small and the findings may not be applicable to all
IT companies in Armenia. In addition, the study did not collect
data on the effectiveness of strategies used to overcome the
challenges faced by IT professionals. Future research could
address these limitations by increasing the sample size, collecting
data on the effectiveness of strategies used to overcome
challenges, and conducting a longitudinal study to track changes
in business planning practices over time.

Published: December 2023

Hepatotoxicants are a variety of chemical substances that can have organ-specific damaging  effects,  which  may  be  the  result  of their direct effects on both hepatocytes and other structural units of the liver. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of modern hepatotoxicants on caffeine elimination. The studies were carried out in the vivarium of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education  of  St.  Petersburg  State  University  of Medicine. Industrial substances of different chemical  groups  have  been  used  to  induce hepatotoxic  conditions:  phthalic  anhydride, ethylenediamine and chloroform. All of the above  toxicants  were  given  in  dosages  for the immediate (within 24 hours) induction of hepatotoxic  conditions.  One  day  after  the completion  of  the  simulation,  the  levels  of caffeine  in  the  blood  serum  of  the  experimental animals were determined in full accordance with the previous series of experiments, using a dosage of 100 mg/kg, since with this dosage regimen  we identified  the most stable pharmacokinetic profiles of caffeine.  Mathematical  and  statistical  processing of the obtained data was carried out using  the  STATISTICA  6.1  program.  The arithmetic mean (M) and its mean error (m) were calculated; the significance of the difference (p) was not calculated using the Student's test due to the  exploratory nature of the study and the lack of comparison groups. Based  on  the  conducted  research,  we  can conclude that each hepatotoxicant has individual  characteristic  characteristics,  which allows us to recommend a caffeine test for different types of hepatotoxicity, incl. unexpressed. That is, in this way it is possible to diagnose  hepatotoxic  conditions  even  in  a latent form, which can be used as a method for  assessing  the  toxicity  of  a  drug  at  the stage of preclinical development.

Poultry  farming  is  one of  the  most  important  and  promising  branches  of  animal husbandry. Given the increasing rate of industrial poultry farming, for the stable development of the industry and improving competitiveness  in  world  markets,  more  and more attention is paid to the search for safe alternative  agents  to  increase  productivity. The study examined the strategy of feeding substances of different nature as feed additives, in particular, enzyme complexes separately  (group  I  (0,05%;  endo-1,4-beta-xylanase - 4000 units/g, alpha-amylase - 400 units/g and subtilisin - 8000 units/g)) and in combination with ultradispersed zinc (group II  (3  mg/kg;  164±31,2  nm)).  It  was  found that  in  group  I  the  digestibility  ratios  of crude  protein  were  higher  by  6.03  % (P≤0.05), crude  fiber  by  3.68  %  (P≤0.05), nitrogen-free  extractive  substances  by  2.39 %  (P≤0.05) compared  to  control.  At  the same time, in group II, changes were recorded in crude protein and crude fiber - an increase  of  6.51%  (P≤0.01)  and  7.59% (P≤0.05), respectively.  At  42  days  of  age, the  live  weight  of  broiler  chickens  I  was 10.1% higher than control (P≤0.05), and in group II by 11.32% (P≤0.01). At the same time, the cost of feed per 1 kg of growth was minimal in group II, 16.79% lower than the control values. Thus, the maximum productive effect was observed with the introduction  of  a  complex  enzyme  supplement  in combination  with  zinc  in  ultradispersed form.

Increasing the productivity of cows in the modern world is a key aspect of animal husbandry.  Embryo  transplantation  in  cows makes it possible to increase the production of genetically valuable animals and improve the breeding qualities of the herd. One of the methods  for  determining  the  activity  and reserve of the ovaries is the determination of anti-Muller  hormone  in  the  blood.  AMH plays an important role in the regulation of reproductive  function  in  animals,  including cows. High levels of AMH may indicate a good reserve capacity of the ovaries, which may  be  useful  when  choosing  animals  for breeding.  In  the  presented  study,  the  bio-chemical parameters of the blood of 9 Holstein cows in the luteal phase were analyzed. A direct correlation of a high degree (0.89 and  0.89,  respectively)  was  found  between the AMH level indicator and urea and urea nitrogen  indicators.  There was  a direct noticeable correlation between the AMH level and the serum creatinine level (0.63). Also, when  assessing  the  indicators  of  mineral metabolism,  strong  correlations  were  revealed:  negative  when  comparing  the  level of  AMH  with  the  level  of  calcium  (-0.71) and  positive  when  comparing  the  level  of AMH  with  the  level  of  phosphorus  (0.78). The regulation of the synthesis of AMH itself and its metabolic effects have been studied little, there is only a limited amount of data on the relationship of the hormone with other factors of autocrine and paracrine regulation. For a more accurate understanding of this correlation and its significance, additional research is needed.

Published: December 2023

The tactics of periodic monitoring of the hematology of sows allows timely measures to prevent anemia, which inevitably occurs, since the targeted screening and selection of industrial  breeds  are  aimed  at  multiple births,  which  increases  the  risks of  anemia during pregnancy and suckling period. With periodic and constant monitoring, it is possible to deduce individual reference intervals of  hematological  indicators  for  a  particular animal and control the response to compensatory measures that directly affects the yield of viable piglets and their survival rate. The purpose of this study was to study the number  of  red  blood  cells,  hemoglobin  level, hematocrit,  average  volume  of  red  blood cells  and  erythrocyte  indices  depending  on the production cycle of the sow. The groups were formed from sows on the 80th day of pregnancy  (group  1,  n=5),  after  farrowing (group  2,  n=5)  and  before  weaning  piglets (group  3, n=5). The  Vet ABCTM analyzer (Horiba Medical Poland) was used. Counting of reticulocytes by “supravital staining” with a solution of “brilliant cresyl blue”. Statistical  processing  in  the  Microsoft  Excel  program (Data Analysis package), evaluation of the  reliability  of  differences  based  on  the Mann—Whitney U criterion. As a result, it was  found  that  the  average  volume  of  red blood cells increases with a decrease in their number  and  hemoglobin  concentration, which is quite natural and indicates a regenerative response with the appearance of reticulocytes in the blood. The correlation coefficient between erythrocytes and the average  volume  of  erythrocytes  was  r=-0.53 (r2=0.28, p=0.01), between the average volume  of  erythrocytes  and  reticulocytes  r=-0.50 (r2=0.25, p=0.05). There were no significant differences among the groups in reticulocytes and the average volume of erythrocytes. The dynamics and intensity of regeneration are moderate in all three groups.

Published: December 2023

Currently, artificial insemination, as one of the types of assisted reproductive technologies, is widely used in dairy and beef cattle breeding.  The  same  cannot  be  said  about such a promising direction in the agricultural industry as goat breeding. One of the limiting  factors  is  the  negative  impact  of  low temperature on the morphofunctional charateristics  of  sperm  of  breeding  goats.  The purpose of this research was to test a protocol of sperm cryopreservation of stud goats with  modification  of  prepreparation  and subsequent assessment of the quality indicators of sperm before and after its deep freezing. A comprehensive assessment of sperm quality (volume, concentration, morphology, motility)  of  goats  (n=10)  was  carried  out using generally accepted methods and protocols. The assessment of sperm quality indicators included five stages: after sperm collection, two hours after cooling, after thawing: 0 hours, 1 and 2 hours. According on the obtained results, the sperm of breeding goats ha low cryoresistance. After cryopreservation  (0,  1  and  2  hours  after  thawing), there is an increase in the number of sperm with tail damage by 7.5% (p≤0.05), 15.5% and 21.8% (p≤0.01), and also a decrease in the number of progressively moving sperm by 1.4; 1.6 and 2.5 times (p≤0.01) compared with  the  results  of  the  assessment  0  hours after collection. The use of a deep two-phase sperm freezing protocol allows maintaining the viability of sperm with a progression of movements equal to 54.2±5.1% and a number of morphologically normal sperm equal to  64.1±1.9%.  In  this  case,  the  prepreparation  of  sperm  for  the  cryopreservation  process  (current  protocol)  includes sperm  centrifugation  (mode:  7000  rpm  for 15  minutes),  removal  of  seminal  plasma, dilution  1:4  (OptiXcell  diluent),  cooling  (4 hours at 4℃); sperm cryopreservation protocol: 1. immersion of goblets with paillettes 4 cm above liquid nitrogen for 7 minutes; 2. complete immersion in liquid nitrogen.

Published: December 2023

In  reproductive  technologies  applied  in animal husbandry, using  lyophilized semen is only possible with ICSI technology, due to complete loss sperm motility. However, the anatomical  structure’s  peculiarities  and  development  of  avian  oocyte  not  allows  use this technology. Strategies aimed at preserving  kinetic  apparatus  of  lyophilized  sperm are  the  most  relevant  for  birds.  Increasing mitochondrial activity of cells due to its connection with energy metabolism and sperm motility may be one of the ways to solve this problem. However, similar studies on freeze-dried bird semen haven’t been conducted on this  moment.  The  present  study  assessed effect  of  mitochondria-targeted  antioxidant Mito-TEMPO  on  viability,  mitochondria’s membrane potential and generation of intracellular hydrogen peroxide by rooster spermatozoa  in  a  cryopreservation  and  lyophilization cycle. Proportion of cells with intact plasma membrane in lyophilized semen was higher using extenders containing an antioxidant. Addition  of  Mito-TEMPO  at  concentration of 40 µM to diluents T-20 and T-30 for the purpose of cryopreservation of semen with  subsequent  freezedrying  allowed  to increase proportion of cells with intact plasma membrane in lyophilized semen in comparison  to  control  diluents  (6.12  ±  0.11  % versus  10.19±0.46%  and 13.19±1.30% versus  15.23±1.13%,  respectively,  p˂0.05). Effective concentration of Mito-TEMPO in diluents intended only for semen cryopreservation was significantly lower - 5 µM. Proportion of cells with intact plasma membrane was  47,97±0,64%  versus  55,85±1,69%  and 47,25±2,97%  versus  63,21±1,78%,  respectively,  p˂0,  05.  Dose-dependent  effect  of trehalose in cryoprotective diluents has been proven.
The effect of the concentration of β-hydroxybutyrate and glucose in the blood on the reproductive function and milk productivity of cows
Authors: Nikolaev S. V.
Published: December 2023

The  intensity  of  metabolic  processes  in highly  productive  cows  is  associated  with metabolic disorders and the development of dystrophic  changes  in  the body.  The  paper evaluates the effect of the concentration of β-hydroxybutyrate and glucose in the blood of new-bodied cows on the indicators of reproductive ability and milk productivity. To do this, venous blood was obtained from cows of different ages after childbirth, where the concentration  of  glucose  and  β-hydroxybutyrate was determined. Depending on  the  level of glucose  and  ketone  bodies, animals  were  retrospectively  differentiated into groups and the severity of economically useful  signs  was  determined.  It  was  found that  cows  with  a  glucose  level  above  3.3 mmol/l  required  0.6  more  inseminations (P≤0.01), compared  with  animals  whose indicators  were  in  the  range  of  2.2...3.3 mmol/l. At the same time, the greatest difference in the multiplicity of insemination was present in animals 3...7 lactation (1.2 inseminations per fertilization; P≤0.001). The period from calving to fertilization in cows with a high glucose content was longer by 39.4 days (P < 0.05), while the maximum deviation was found among animals older than the 2nd  lactation  (by  43.4%;  P<  0.05).  An  increase in the level of β-hydroxybutyrate over 0.7 mmol/l was also accompanied by a deterioration in reproductive function. Thus, the lengthening  of  the  infertility  period  for  all lactation was 21.2 days (P≤0.05). The most pronounced negative effect on reproductive function in ketonemia was observed in first-heifers and cows of the second lactation. So, after  the  first  birth,  the  lengthening  of  the period from calving to fertilization was 42.0 days (P < 0.05), and after the second lactation - 29.2 days (P < 0.05). Thus, an increase in  the  level  of  glucose  and  β-hydroxybutyrate in the blood negatively affects, first of all, the reproductive function of cows, and to a lesser extent, the indicators of milk productivity.

Published: December 2023

In  modern  high-tech  dairy  enterprises, the problem of perinatal diseases in highly productive dairy cattle is acute. The current study presents the distribution of extracellular matrix in cows during physiological pregnancy ending in spontaneous labor (FB/SR) and complicated pregnancy with symptoms of preeclampsia/eclampsia ending in pathological  labor  (OB/PR)  using  histological, histochemical (HC) and immunohistochemical (IHC) research methods. Biopsy material of placentas was obtained from 10 cows during labor: from 5 cows with FB/SR and from 5  cows  with  OB/PR.  Samples  of  placentas from  cows  with  FB/SR  and  OB/PR  were subjected  to  standard  histological  procedures. Paraffin sections of the placenta, 5 µm thick, were mounted on glasses treated with poly-L-lysine (Menzel). Using IHC studies, the  immunolocalization  of  the  Ki-67  biomarker was studied. A histochemical study in  the  placentas  of  cows  with  FB/SR  revealed  the  presence  of  a  large  number  of small capillaries both in the villi of the cotyledons and in the caruncular crypts, as well as an equilibrium ratio of mesenchymal and epithelial  structures.  The  reaction  to  vimentin showed degradation of fibroblasts. In the  lumen  of  the  crypts,  only  structureless masses and a small number of macrophagelike cells were recorded. In addition, in the central part of the unchanged villi, a sharp decrease in the number of small capillaries was established, as well as a reduction in the terminal chorionic villi and a decrease in the vascularization of the remaining villi. Immunolocalization of the content of intermediate biomarkers  showed  the  content  of  a  large amount  of  Ki-67  in  the  cells  of  the  crypt lining. During pregnancy OB/PR, a decrease in the vascularization of chorionic villi in the cotyledons  and  degradation  of  cytokeratin filaments involved in the formation of cellular contacts between the cytotrophoblasts of the  chorionic villi  of  the  cotyledons of  the fetal part of the placenta and the epithelial cells  of  the  crypts  of  the  caruncles  of  the maternal  part  of  the  placenta  have  been demonstrated, which will make it possible in the future to develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as a rapid – test for  diagnosing  reproductive  pathologies  in dairy cattle. Pronounced expression of the Ki-67 protein was found in the cells lining the crypts of the caruncles, as well as in the cytoplasmic  membrane  of  the  villous  cytotrophoblasts. In the placenta of cows whose pregnancy  and  childbirth  were  complicated by pathology, the proliferative activity of the cells lining the uterine crypts remained at a physiological  level,  while  individual  chorionic  villi  were  completely  reduced,  and  in those  that  remained,  the  Ki-67  expression index was 36.94%.
The genetic basis of the sperm quality of stallions
Authors: Nikitkina E. V.
Published: December 2023

One of the important factors affecting the reproductive function is the genotype of the animal. The method of genomic selection is based on the use of polymorphic single nucleotide substitutions (SNP) as markers  for determining the value of the genotype of an animal or plant. The formation and functioning  of  the  reproductive  system  of  animals occurs as a result of the coordinated interaction of a wide range of genes.  The search for genomic  associations  of  GWAS  (Genome-Wide Association Studies) with signs of fertility will allow further selection of animals based  on  these  indicators  at  the  genomic level. Sperm was obtained with the help of mares in hunting and on a phantom using an artificial  Hannover  vagina  (Minitube,  Germany). The sperm of each stallion was collected at least three times. The semen quality of 96 stallions of different breeds (Arabian, Akhal-Teke, Trakenen, thoroughbred horse, Oryol  trotter,  French  trotter,  Soviet  heavy horse, Shetland pony, Welsh pony, horses of different breeds) was analyzed. High variability  of  sperm  quality  indicators  was  revealed.  For  example,  the  concentration  of sperm in the ejaculate varied from 59 to 514 million /ml, progressive mobility from 20 to 87%, and the number of cells without damage from 21.6 to 95.6%. Such variability of the studied features makes it possible to assume that their formation in the process of ontogenesis  occurs  under  the  influence  of genetic factors. The GWAS analysis of ejaculate volume, concentration and motility of stallion  sperm  revealed  potential  candidate genes associated with these indicators. The associations identified in our study are promising candidates for further identification of the  biological  mechanisms  underlying  the quality of stallion sperm.

Authors: Valentsova M.
Published: December 2023

The article discusses the discrepancy between the meaning of the mythological image of the East Slavic Baba-Yaga and the etymological meaning of the name yaga / yazya in the Slavic languages. Alternative versions of the yaga’s etymology are cited that raise it to an ancient Indo-European name of the snake (and hedgehog). Also folklore plots confirming such semantics are denoted in which Yaga is interchangeable with the Snake. A hypothesis offered by O. A. Cherepanova about possible contacts of Slavs with Greeks and Iranians in the Northern Black Sea area is developed and a possible source of the Slavic Baba-Yaga image is considered: the Scythian legends about the serpentine goddess ancestress of Scythians as described by Herodotus based on Greek images of snake demons, including Echidna.

В статье обсуждается несоответствие значения мифологического образа восточнославянской бабы-Яги этимологическому значению имени яга / язя в славянских языках. Приводятся альтернативные версии этимологии имени яга, возводящие его к древнему индоевропейскому названию змеи (и ежа), а также подтверждающие эту семантику фольклорные сюжеты, в которых Яга взаимозаменяема со Змеей. Развивается предложенная О. А. Черепановой гипотеза о возможном контакте славян с греками и иранцами в Северном Причерноморье и как возможный источник образа славянской бабы-Яги рассматриваются скифские легенды о змееногой богине-прародительнице скифов в изложении Геродота, основанные на греческих образах змееподобных демонов, включая Ехидну.

On suicide: the meaning of good death in Ancient Greece and the desperate act of suicide in Modern Greek Literature. The case of the Suicidal Neohellenic writer Periklis Giannopoulos (1869–1910)
Authors: Δαπουδάνη Α.Μ.
Published: December 2023

Η αυτοχειρία εξετάζεται μέσα από το πρίσμα της Αρχαίας Ελληνικής Φιλοσοφίας και των Αρχαίων θεατρικών δραμάτων. Ερευνάται η περίπτωση του Νεοέλληνα Λογοτέχνη Περικλή Γιαννόπουλου που επέλεξε χωρίς τον παραμικρό δισταγμό την πράξη της αυτοκτονίας ως δείγμα αντίστασης στην υποταγή και στα τυφλά προστάγματα της μοίρας. Η αυτοχειρία αποδείχθηκε τελικά και για τον Περικλή Γιαννόπουλο ως και για όλους τους Νεοέλληνες αυτόχειρες λογοτέχνες ως μία πράξη ελευθερίας και αποτίναξης κάθε τυραννικού δεσμού και επιβεβλημένου εξολοθρευτικού συμβιβασμού. Η μοίρα όλων αυτών των αυτοχείρων όπως πολύ σωστά παρατηρεί η ποιήτρια Κική Δημουλά: Λέγεται μοίρα της εξαίρεσης, της σπανιότητας [Δημουλά 2022: 69]. Πρόκειται για χαρισματικές προσωπικότητες με υψηλή νοημοσύνη και ευαισθησία που γεννήθηκαν με θείο δικαίωμα Jure Divino και ούτε ακόμη και ο ίδιος ο χρόνος μπορεί να τις αφανίσει.

Suicide is examined through the prism of Ancient Greek Philosophy and Ancient dramas. The case of the Neo-Greek writer Pericles Giannopoulos who chose without the slightest hesitation the act of suicide as a sign of resistance to submission and the blind decrees of fate is investigated. Suicide was finally proven for Periklis Giannopoulos as well as for all the Neo-Greek writers who committed suicide as an act of freedom and of shaking off every tyrannical bond and imposed exterminating compromise. The fate of all those who committed suicide as the writer Kiki Dimoula rightly observes: It is called the fate of the exception, of the rare [Dimoula 2022: 69]. These are charismatic personalities with high intelligence and sensitivity who were born with divine right Jure Divino and not even time itself can destroy them.
Pros and Cons of Robotic Nursing
Authors: Preksha Preksha
Published: December 2023

Robotic Nursing is using machines (robots) for the daily nursing activities in order to reduce the nurse’s burnout and errors in the nursing practice, assisting in daily nursing activities and doing physical work like lifting heavy instruments, transferring the patient, etc. It eases the burden on nurses, reduces the nurses' burnout, they socially and physically assistive, can be used during pandemic and used for video-conferencing for medical help (tele-health). In India, health-bots like Mitra, Maitri, TriCog, etc are being used for booking online consultations, health advices, medicine recommendations and for diagnosis of cardiac disorders. Challenges- High costs, lack of human touch and ethical decision-making abilities. Robots come with various advantages, but being technologically advanced doesn’t replace the qualities of humans like decision making abilities, critical thinking and warmth. Installing robots in Indian Hospitals can be a challenging task but in contrary to this Robots can reduce nurses’ overload, burnout and medical errors.
Leverages of social restraint of the UOC-MP in modern realities
Authors: Tokman Volodymyr
Published: December 2023

The issue of the restrictive influence of the UOC-MP on Ukrainian society began to be actively discussed after the annexation of Crimea by Russia and the occupation of parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions in 2014.

At that time, the basic essence of the UOC-MP as an ideological and ideological agent of the political regime associated with the Kremlin became clear. The leadership and the vast majority of the bishops of the pro-Moscow church structure did not condemn Russian aggression even then, continued to maintain close ties with the Moscow Patriarchate and demonstrate loyalty to the political leadership of the Russian Federation.

Published: December 2023

Known being the increasing demand for ecological fruits, both at national level and on international markets, the apple cultivated in the ecological system in Romania can bring economic and social benefits. The orientation towards apple cultivars with genetic resistance to diseases will be gradually imposed, especially in the case of apple, being the main factor in obtaining ecological productions. The value of the ecological apples, as dessert fruits, depends directly on the following physico-chemical characteristics: size (weight and caliber), content of fruit in soluble solids and acids (specially malic acid), firmness and the color of the epidermis. This work aims to quantify the quality elements of the fruits at the maturity of harvesting for 12 apple cultivars, of different origin (6 with Romanian origin and 6 foreign cultivars), located in a field trial of RIFG Pitești, Romania, managed in ecological system. The preliminary results registered at the level of 2022 show that the fruits size varied from 144.26 g ('Rubinola' cv.) to 306.8 g ('Orion' cv.), and the fruit caliber 71.62 mm ('Crimson Crisp' cv.) to 92.13 mm ('Orion' cv.). The cultivars 'Rumina', 'Topaz' and 'Orion' were noted for the high content of soluble solids (over 14%). 'Rubinola' cv. was noted by the high pH of fruits (4.02) and high acid content (0.88% malic acid).

Authors: Lupascu Galina , Gavzer Svetlana , Cristea Nicolae
Published: December 2023

Foliar diseases attack common winter wheat throughout Europe, causing enormous economic damage to this crop. The parental forms and F1 hybrids of wheat under the conditions of the experimental field (2023 year) differed significantly based on the attack of foliar diseases, in particular, yellow rust and septoriosis, which made it possible to classify them into clusters with different degrees of similarity/difference of the tested forms. Most of the F1 hybrids of wheat registered a lower degree of attack of the mentioned diseases, forming a cluster separate from the parental forms, which offers chances to identify resistant forms in progeny populations.

Authors: Malii Aliona , Harciuc Oleg
Published: December 2023

The seasonal change in soil moisture reserves in dependence on the genetic form of soybeans was studied. It has been established that the deep layers of the soil (40-150 cm) more consistently reflect the influence of the plant component than the surface ones. In 2021, water reserves decreased in the 0-150 cm layer: for the Pentata variety - by 103 mm, and for the Onika variety- by 53 mm. Thus, Onika variety (MG I) retained 50 mm more water in the field for the next season compared to variety Pentata (MG III).

Published: December 2023

This paper presents the influence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (diclofenac, ibuprofen, and naproxen), antibiotics (ampicillin, ciprofloxacin), nanomaterials (CNT-COOH, CNT-MnO2 etc) and heavy metals (Cu, Cd etc) on the lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). The evaluation of the impact of these pollutants on photosynthetic pigments, total polyphenols, antioxidant activity and the variation of multielement content was followed. From these studies it was observed that the VOCs emission rate increase with the increase of the pollutant concentration and the quantity of chlorophylls, carotenoids, polyphenols and flavonoids decrease. In conclusion, these can be employed as a stress signal of the plants or as biomarkers. All these information can be used for assessment the resistance and resilience of plants to environmental stressors and will be applied for plant protection.

Authors: SILVA Monik Maryelle Moreira da , ALVES Vânia Maria , AMORIM Katiúcia Alves , SILVA Edson Pablo da , DAMIANI Clarissa
Published: December 2023

Jams with paste and dough textures were developed from cagaita (Eugenia dysenterica DC), in which the physicochemical parameters, proximal analysis, and antioxidant activity during storage were characterized. The jams were stored, and the analyses were carried out every 2 months so that possible variations during 8-month storage time were observed. The values were significant (p < 0.05) for most of the variables studied when comparing the two products concerning time. The main variations were humidity, pH, and total titratable acidity. The storage and conditioning of the products influenced the proximal and antioxidant composition values. The production, commercialization, and consumption of cagaita jams are recommended to contribute to income generation and improvement of nutritional support, especially for individuals living in the Cerrado region.
