Published: July 2021

Background

Adolescents are a vulnerable group who have great curiosity and need access to various adolescent health information. Therefore, the government has implemented a strategy through the implementation of Youth Care Health Services (YCHS). However, some of the stakeholders and youth have limited access to YCHS especially the ones delivered in schools setting. The purpose of this study was to investigate the implementation of adolescent health programs in schools especially public schools and religion-based schools.

Design and methods

This study was an analytic observational quantitative study by using a cross-sectional design. This study was conducted in public schools and religion-based schools in North Surabaya Indonesia. The sample in this study consisted of 100 students through a simple random sampling technique.

Results

There was a difference in the level of knowledge of adolescent reproductive health between public schools and religion- based schools (p=0.047). Student's attitudes (p=0.000) and environmental influences (p=0.000) both related with reproductive health contents. However, there was no difference in adolescent's attitudes about adolescent reproductive health programs (p=0.90) and adolescent's exposure to adolescent reproductive health policies (p=0.196).

Conclusion

The implementation of adolescent health programs in two types of schools (public and religion-based) were different. Adolescents should have the same rights to obtain knowledge about adolescent health as the prelude for forming a positive attitude. Therefore, stakeholders need to conduct regular monitoring and evaluation on the implementation of standardized adolescent health programs in all types of schools.

Authors: Chae Jiun , Seo Moon Young , Kim Shin-Hye , Park Mi Jung
Published: July 2021

Background: There is a lack of recent research on the changes in risk factors for metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the Asian pediatric population. We aimed to determine the 12-year trends in the prevalence of MetS and relevant lifestyle factors such as smoking, exercise, and calorie intake among Korean adolescents.Methods: We investigated trends in MetS and lifestyle factors among 6,308 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007 to 2018.Results: The prevalence of MetS was stable from 2007 to 2018 (1.7% to 2.2%). There were significant increases in the prevalence of central obesity (from 8.1% to 11.2%, P=0.012) and hyperglycemia (from 5.3% to 10.4%, P<0.001) and decreases in hypo-high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterolemia (from 22.4% to 14.8%, P<0.001). Total calorie intake and calorie intake from fat significantly increased (P<0.001), whereas calorie intake from carbohydrates significantly decreased (P<0.001) during the study period. The proportions of tobacco smokers and regular walkers significantly decreased from 2007 to 2018. After controlling for all covariates, total calorie intake was positively correlated with waist circumference (P<0.05). HDL-cholesterol was negatively associated with carbohydrate consumption (P<0.01) and positively associated with fat consumption (P<0.001). Regular walking and regular strength training were associated with lower waist circumference (P<0.05). Smoking was associated with lower fasting glucose levels (P<0.01).Conclusion: Although the prevalence rate of MetS is stable among Korean adolescents, the prevalence of central obesity and hyperglycemia has increased greatly in the recent decade. Public education on proper dietary intake and lifestyle modification is required.

Published: July 2021

Background: Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is a candidate gene for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) since it plays an important role in regulating apoptotic and pro-inflammatory pathways in pancreatic β-cells through modulation of the type I interferon signaling pathway. The rs2304256 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in TYK2 gene has been associated with protection for different autoimmune diseases. However, to date, only two studies have evaluated the association between this SNP and T1DM, with discordant results. This study thus aimed to investigate the association between the TYK2 rs2304256 SNP and T1DM in a Southern Brazilian population.Methods: This case-control study comprised 478 patients with T1DM and 518 non-diabetic subjects. The rs2304256 (C/A) SNP was genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction technique using TaqMan minor groove binder (MGB) probes.Results: Genotype and allele frequencies of the rs2304256 SNP differed between T1DM patients and non-diabetic subjects (P<0.0001 and P=0.001, respectively). Furthermore, the A allele was associated with protection against T1DM under recessive (odds ratio [OR], 0.482; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.288 to 0.806) and additive (OR, 0.470; 95% CI, 0.278 to 0.794) inheritance models, adjusting for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DR/DQ genotypes, gender, and ethnicity.Conclusion: The A/A genotype of TYK2 rs2304256 SNP is associated with protection against T1DM in a Southern Brazilian population.

Published: July 2021

Insulin replacement in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) needs intensified treatment, which can either be performed by multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). This retrospective analysis of a real-world scenario aimed to evaluate whether glycaemic and cardiovascular risk factors could be controlled with CSII outclass MDI as suggested by recent evidence. Data from patients with either insulin pump (n=68) or injection (n=224) therapy at an Austrian tertiary care centre were analysed between January 2016 and December 2017. There were no significant differences with regard to the latest glycosylated hemoglobin, cardiovascular risk factor control or diabetes-associated late complications. Hypoglycaemia was less frequent (P<0.001), sensor-augmented therapy was more common (P=0.003) and mean body mass index (BMI) was higher (P=0.002) with CSII treatment. This retrospective analysis of real-world data in T1DM did not demonstrate the superiority of insulin pump treatment with regard to glycaemic control or cardiovascular risk factor control.

Published: July 2021

An Automatic Data Analysis and Source Location System (ADASLS) was recently developed at CANMET. It is designed for general application in the mining industry where a rapid, scientific and comprehensive analysis of the automatically determined microseismic event
data is required. ADASLS is a manual driven code in that it is controlled by approximately 130 adjustable parameters, which allows the code to adopt the local source locations and to optimize the analysis procedure. The code has been tested extensively and its performance has been excellent. It has
been adopted by two major Ontario mines, the Creighton mine at Sudbury and the Kidd Creek mine at Timmins.

Abstract

Objectives:

The aim of this study was to determine the current knowledge levels on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillators of Chinese citizens.

Methods:

A face-to-face questionnaire survey on the knowledge of and attitudes toward the use of CPR and AEDs during an OHCA event was conducted in three high-traffic train stations in Hangzhou and Taizhou, China. The survey included questions on previous experience with CPR, recognition of cardiac arrest, CPR-related concerns, and AED knowledge.

Results:

A total of 6268 participants were surveyed about their knowledge of and attitudes toward the use of CPR and AEDs. A total of 5981 valid questionnaires, including 3008 from female respondents (50.2%) and 2973 from male respondents (49.8%), were retrieved. The participants were geographically distributed as follows: 18.5% from western China, 19.5% from central China, and 77.0% from eastern China. The educational level, regular residence, and sex of the respondents, as well as legislative policies, were relevant to the knowledge of and attitudes toward the use of CPR and AEDs for OHCA events. The results showed that men were more active than women in terms of CPR training and implementation, as well as had more knowledge and used AEDs more often. More people in eastern and central China had witnessed CPR performance, would pay for CPR training, and would be willing to perform CPR if there was a related legislative policy. Moreover, educational level was crucial to the knowledge of and attitudes toward the use of CPR and AEDs during OHCA events.

Conclusions:

Chinese citizens lack CPR and AED knowledge and training compared with people in developed countries. We recommend that the state should increase public awareness of CPR and AEDs in China. Mass education, policy implementation, specialized training, and legislative action should be carried out.
Ischemic Preconditioning for the Treatment of COVID-19
Authors: Santillo Elpidio
Published: July 2021

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is an innate mechanism of tissue protection from ischemia, which is easily replicable in clinical settings in the form of remote IPC. The final protective effect of IPC comprises the induction of favorable anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic molecular pathways. Recent studies on humans have confirmed that IPC protocols may exert cardioprotective actions. Moreover, IPC was also found to be capable of reducing surgical lung injury through the contrast of inflammatory response. Hence, IPC seems an ideal candidate to be tested as an innovative therapeutic weapon against a disease as coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), in which inflammation plays a key role. Interestingly, the use of IPC protocols for COVID-19 patients, beyond the potentiality of reducing the cardiologic complications, could also prove useful for the attenuation of inflammatory phenomena that characterize the course of coronavirus disease.

Type and severity of septal deviation are not related with the degree of subjective nasal obstruction
Authors: Verhoeven S. , Schmelzer B.
Published: July 2021

Background: Septoplasty is a frequently performed operation by otolaryngologists to relieve nasal obstruction complaints. When objective measurements tools are not available, preoperative decision-making is based on careful clinical examination. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between type and severity of septal deviation and patient-reported nasal obstruction. Methodology: 196 Patients of a general otolaryngology population were included. Patients indicated subjective nasal obstruction experienced during the past 1 month on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Patients underwent clinical examination to evaluate type and severity of septal deviation. We compared clinical examination findings with patients VAS. Results: We did not find a statistical difference of VAS score between the different types and severities of septal deviation. In 33.9% of the cases without septal deviation, there was a corresponding VAS score of 0. In 26,8% of the cases with septal deviation, there was no complaint of nasal obstruction (VAS = 0). In 7,4% of the cases, there was moderate to severe nasal obstruction complaint (VAS over 4) though no septal deviation was found. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that patient-reported nasal obstruction varies greatly among patients with similar type of deviation and similar degree of deviation. Classification of septal deviation into type and severity cannot predict the degree of subjective nasal obstruction. Therefore, the decision to proceed to septoplasty has to be thoughtful, with as much as information, based on the combination of patients history, clinical examination, surgeons experience and cautious interpretation of objective measurement tools.

Published: July 2021

Background: In patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) the sinuses are a bacterial reservoir for Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). From the sinuses the GNB can repeatedly migrate to the lungs. In a one-year follow-up study, endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) with adjuvant therapy reduced the frequency of pulmonary samples positive for GNB. We investigated whether the effect is sustained. Methodology: We report the effect of ESS and adjuvant therapy three years postoperatively in a CF cohort participating in this prospective clinical follow-up study. The primary endpoint was the lung infection status defined by Leeds criteria. Results: One hundred and six CF patients underwent ESS; 27 had improved lung infection status after three years. The prevalence of patients free of lung colonization with GNB significantly increased from 16/106 patients (15%) preoperatively to 35/106 patients (33%) after three years. The total cohort had decreasing lung function during follow-up; however, in 27 patients with improved lung infection status lung function was stable. Revision surgery was performed in 31 patients (28%). Conclusion: ESS with adjuvant therapy significantly improves the lung infection status for at least three years in our cohort of patients with CF and may postpone chronic lung infection with GNB and thus stabilize lung function.
Slovenski Mozart: knjiga o Josipu Ipavcu
Authors: Granda Stane
Published: July 2021

Najnovejša knjiga vrhunskega poznavalca slovenske kulturne zgodovine in še posebno rodbine Ipavec je nekakšna sinteza dosedanjega vedenja o naših ljudeh in prostoru v prelomnih desetletjih pred prehodom iz 19. v 20. stoletja in po njem. Iz besedila vidimo, kaj je v tem času pomenilo biti pravi umetnik v večnarodni monarhiji. Josip Ipavec namreč sodi med tiste naše velikane, ki so prestali preverjanje talenta v mednarodnem okolju. Skladatelj in zdravnik Josip Ipavec je namreč živel med letoma 1873 in 1921. Glede na dejstvo, da je njegov smrtni dan isti kot pri Prešernu – zanimivo, tudi njegov krstitelj se je pisal Prešern –, je misel, da so Ipavci za slovensko glasbo isto kot naš največji pesnik za slovensko literaturo, dodaten izziv za širšo pripoved, kot jo narekujeta zgolj življenje in delo velikega skladatelja.

The project “Canon of the Memoir Literature of Polish Jews”is currently being prepared at the Taube Department of Jewish Studies at the University of Wrocław in cooperation with the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews and Polish Scientific Publishers PWN in Warsaw. Its purpose is to introduce 27 volumes of Jewish memoirs that make up the Jews. Poland. Autobiography series into Polish academic and literary circulation, and to integrate this corpus into the current scholarly discourse on Polish history and culture. This section presents excerpts from the autobiographies of two Jewish writers translated from Yiddish: Rachel (Rokhl) Feygenberg (1885–1972) and Kadia Molodowsky (1894–1975). Rachel Feygenberg depicts her childhood in the shtetl of Lubańin Minsk province, reminiscing about her education, her family’s religiosity, her work in a shop, and the first signs of her writing talent. Molodowsky describes her work teaching homeless children during World War I and the beginnings of her poetic career. She also portrays the Jewish literary milieu in Kiev centered around the Eygns almanac, and her meeting with the patron of Yiddish literature and publisher Boris Kletskin that resulted in the publication of her first volume of poetry Kheshvendike nekht [Nights of Cheshvan].
Ecology and Science Fiction. Managing Imagination in the Age of the Anthropocene
Authors: Gajewska Grażyna
Published: July 2021

When formulating proecological strategies, social imagination is devoted relatively little attention. Contribution of the humanities to the management in the age of the Anthropocene is most often perceived as explaining threats that we and the future human and non-human beings will have to face as a result of irresponsible environmental policies. Hence, the presumed task of the humanities (and social science) consists primarily in analyzing and presenting the causes and the processes which culminated in the climate crisis and the decline of biodiversity. However, such an approach does not allow this knowledge to be actively engaged in constructing alternative, proecological attitudes. Consequently, I argue in this paper that in order for the state of affairs to change one requires not only new scientific tools (methodology, language), but also new sensitivity and aesthetics. The author argues that the challenges of the current times, resulting from environmental change, destruction of habitats and ecological disasters, direct our sensibilities and aesthetics ever more tangibly towards the fantastic: horror, science fiction, or fantasy. However, while ecohorror mainly exposes the negative aftermath of the Anthropocene – culminating in the inevitable disaster – science fiction offers leeway for a more speculative approach, enabling one to construct such visions of reality in which multispecies justice will be observed and cultivated. It is therefore suggested that there is much need for a science fiction aesthetic and narration that would be capable of guiding us out of the anthropocentric entanglement and the Anthropocene into the Chthulucene (as conceived by Haraway).
Between Institutional Antisemitism and Authoritarianism in the Territory of the Former Galicia, 1935–1939: Discussion of the Problem
Authors: Kahane Tony , Zalewski Andrew
Published: July 2021

In the period 1935–1939, following the death of head of state Marshal Piłsudski, the Polish national government adopted a more authoritarian and nationalist stance. Piłsudski had been considered by some Polish Jews as a protector of national and religious minorities. After his death in May 1935, institutional antisemitism experienced a dramatic increase.

In the public sphere, certain newspapers regularly featured antisemitic “news reports,” opinion pieces and cartoons of an extreme nature. The newspaper ABC, for instance, advocated boycotts of Jewish businesses and shops, listing them by name, and encouraged Jewish emigration. In universities, the increasing discrimination against Jews has been well documented. MostPolish universities instituted restrictions on the number of Jewish students they would admit, or else barred them altogether. The education ministry willingly turned a blind eye to the admission policies of the university authorities. At the beginning of the academic year 1938–1939, for example, only three students in the first year of medical studies in Lwów (less than 1% of the new intake) were Jews, and none in Kraków.

After discussing antisemitism in newspapers and universities in the late 1930s, this article will examine documents held in the State Archive of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast (DAIFO) concerning relations between the Jewish communities in the Stanisławów region, and the district, provincial and national authorities, including the national Ministry for Religious Denominations and Public Enlightenment. Much of this documentation concerns the town of Dolina. With the backing of the district authorities, an attempt was made to install as assistant rabbi in the town a certain Ksyel Juda Halberstam. This move was strongly opposed by many members of the Dolina Jewish community, as well as by its senior rabbi. The correspondence sheds light on the protracted struggle between the different parties until the assistant rabbi was finally installed in late 1938.

These files on the Dolina episode highlight the desire on the part of the authorities to control the rabbis, and through them the members of their communities. Information was systematically gathered on all the rabbis in the province, with particular emphasis on their moral behaviour, their perceived loyalty to the state, and their fluency in the Polish language. These actions, in turn, reflect an underlying suspicion over the extent of the rabbis’ “Polishness” and a fear, in an era of growing nationalism, of “antinational” behaviour. Such suspicions of loyalty were particularly marked where rabbis were thought to have Zionist links.
Nathalie Skowronek « a la recherche de Max » : Construction litteraire et autometatextualite dans les ouvrages de la 3e generation de la Shoah
Authors: Arráez José Luis
Published: July 2021

The third generation survivors of the World War II genocide of the European Jews withstand, analyse and create literary texts about the Holocaust, a historical event, which was not endured by them directly but experienced through scientific papers and creative literature. Thanks to Nathalie Skowronek, a novelist living in Brussels, and her publication of Max en apparence (2013) and La Shoah de Monsieur Durand (2015), we can gain some insight into the social and literary reality of Jewish genocide memory and into its intergenerational transmission. Firstly, we will carefully analyse the approach used by this author in the composition of a biographical text about her grandfather’s reconstruction of events. After that, using an intertextual approach, we will analyse formal and moral narrative considerations of the authoress which govern the literary reconstruction grandfather’s biography.
The Reception of American Jazz in Japan: An Outline of Issues
Authors: Kwaczyńska Olga
Published: July 2021

The following article presents the history of Japanese jazz, from the first musical contacts to its contemporary successes and problems of the jazz music market. An important role in the development and evolution of jazz in Japan (even before the post-war US occupation of that country) was played by the presence of American military forces in the Philippines, which, as an American-dependent territory, maintained cultural contacts with the United States, where jazz had been born at the beginning of the 20th century and became one of the most popular forms of music. Apart from contact with Filipino musicians, who were the first source of jazz education for the Japanese, the rise of jazz cafés (jazzu-kissa) was also important for the development of jazz in the Land of the Cherry Blossom. The cafés played a huge role in generating interest in jazz and shaping musical tastes. The article also shows the influence of jazz on the formation of a modern, American-type lifestyle among the Japanese middle-class. In addition, the article discusses the complex issue of the authenticity of Japanese jazz in relation to American jazz and the role of world-famous Japanese musicians, such as Toshiko Akiyoshi, in overcoming stereotypes. The aim of the article is to demonstrate the universality and at the same time the local character of contemporary Japanese jazz as well as the distinguishing features of jazz in Japan.

Possibility of applying Actio pauliana to the division of a capital company – selected issues
The topic of this article is the possibility of applying Actio pauliana to the division of a company with particular emphasis on the division by separation in the context of the findings of the judgment of the European Court of Justice of January 30, 2020, case file no. C-394/18. Per that judgement, the remedies provided in the sixth directive constitute only the required minimal level of protection that should be provided to the creditors of a divided company. However, that protection does not preclude the existence of a more extensive protection under national law, such as the rules concerning Actio pauliana. The article provides an answer to the question whether the Polish law regulations allow for granting this form of legal protection to the creditors of a divided company, and if it does, then in what way the claim should be formulated and which particular legal actions should be contested.

Gloss to the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland judgment of April 21, 2016 – case file no. II GSK 2566/14

The gloss is an analysis and evaluation of the judgement of the Supreme Administrative Court of 21 April 2016, case file no. II GSK 2566/14. In this judgement, the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland adopted a view that distance sales of alcoholic beverages, including those made via the Internet, are illegal under the current provisions of the Act on Upbringing in Sobriety and Counteracting Alcoholism. In its interpretation of the law, the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland also referred extensively to the regulations of the Polish Civil Code on the sale agreement and the transfer of ownership of the sold item. The author critically evaluates the standpoint adopted by the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland. In author’s opinion, the interpretation of the law presented in the reasons for the judgement is law-generating in nature, leading to the creation of a legal norm which is not supported by the provisions of the Act. In author’s opinion, the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland wrongly equated the notions of a sale and the occurrence of the dispositive effect of a sale agreement, wrongly assuming that they occur at the same time and in the same place, which results in the assumption that the sale of an alcoholic beverage is effective upon the delivery of its object to the buyer at the place where the beverage is to be delivered. The position taken by the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland limits the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of business activity in a manner not supported by the Act.
Role of Technology Readiness in Airline Passengers’ Perceptions of
Self-service Technology Quality
Authors: Suwannakul Ekkarat
Published: July 2021

Self-service technology (SST) is more crucial now than before for the service delivery of airlines. Many airlines employ various types of SSTs so that passengers can perform certain services on their own. Although many passengers enjoy using the self-service option, some are not ready to adopt such a technology. This study aims to investigate how passengers possessing different characteristics perceive technology readiness (TR) and examine the influence of TR on perceived SST quality. Questionnaires were used to collect data from airports in Bangkok, Thailand. A total of 382 usable data were analysed using one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis. Results indicate significant differences in TR across age, education, occupation, income, types of SSTs and air travel frequency. This study also reveals that TR dimensions, namely, optimism, innovativeness, anxiety and insecurity, are important factors influencing airline passengers’ perceptions of SST quality.

This research proposes and validates a model hypothesizing the relationships between social capital and knowledge sharing in the public sector. We employed a survey design using a questionnaire to collect data utilizing a convenient sampling method. The study gathered 389 questionnaires from civil servants and officials working in departments and agencies in the public sector in Tien Giang province. The research hypotheses were developed and validated using the structural model modeling (SEM) approach. The research results show that all hypothesized relationships were confirmed except the link between structural social capital and tacit knowledge sharing. Our study can be considered a pioneering study to investigate the influence of social capital on both tacit knowledge sharing and explicit knowledge sharing in the public sector. This work also enriches the growing body of knowledge regarding social capital and knowledge sharing in the public sector. Our research also offers suggestions to leaders in the public sector concerning relevant measures and policies that enable employees to share knowledge by promoting social capital.

The article deals with the role of science education in explaining the modern environmental crisis and ways out of it. The urgency and peculiarities of education for sustainable development, its challenges to updating the content of natural science disciplines are considered. The directions of such updating are justified: reflection of modern state of science, fundamentality of knowledge, its interdisciplinary integration and worldview orientation. The conclusion is made that for understanding the interdisciplinary concept of sustainable development the set of special scientific pictures of the world is not enough. The problem of developing a natural-science picture of the world as an environmental component of education for sustainable development is posed. The article considers the basic categories of synthesis of natural-science knowledge into the natural-science picture of the world: nature, material unity of the world, development, system, self-organization, determinism, etc. It is determined that the natural scientific picture of the world, in its ecological aspect, is based on V. I. Vernadsky’s doctrine on the biosphere and biogeochemical migration of atoms, N. N. Moiseev’s doctrine on universal evolutionism, and the concept of sustainable development. It is concluded about the role of the natural sciences in the formation of the key concept of sustainable development – the ecological imperative.

This article presents the results of comparative analysis of software tools for assessing and predicting parameters characterizing the radiation situation in the event of a hypothetical emergency at nuclear facilities. To analyze the output parameters and rank the software according to the degree of conservatism, an emergency scenario at the AES-2006 design facility was selected. This scenario is associated with a decrease in the coolant temperature and, as a consequence, a change in reactivity. The results of ranking software tools for use in the activities of the Information and Analytical Center of the Department of Nuclear and Radiation Safety are presented. It has been established that the highest degree of conservatism is embedded in the operational assessment codes (HotSpot and RECASS Express). These tools make it possible to provide quick simplified calculations for the early stage of an accident at a Nuclear Facility and can be recommended for use in assessing and predicting the radiation situation as the first tools. In this case, the status of the assessment of the radiation situation is recommended to be considered preliminary, additional to the main calculations performed, for example, with the JRODOS and RECASS NT design codes, the technical capabilities of which allow assessing the radiation impact, including at significant distances from the source, as in the case of emergency situations, and within the framework of the command and staff exercises.

The goal is to address the issues of modernization and diversification in agricultural sector in order to increase the level of socio-economic development of the country. The article presents domestic and foreign experience of the States which implement these transformations in enterprises for the efficient use of production resources, reduction of labor costs, and increasing income. Objectives – to show that positive directions for expanding the scope of activities in production of products by increasing its range will optimize logistics costs, reduce dependence on supplies, which causes significant material and monetary costs, and gain independence from suppliers of necessary materials and raw materials. The results confirm that in agro-industrial complex, along with specialization, an objective necessity is diversified development, i.e. diversification and reconstruction. Agricultural enterprises in the North Kazakhstan region have experience related to this strategy. In the region, one can mention successful examples of organizing flour production on farms, which contributes to meeting the demand for flour-grinding products without intermediaries between producers and consumers, directly selling them to bakery enterprises, bakeries of the republic. The livestock complex of the NKR increases production of milk and its processing products butter, sour cream, cottage cheese, cheese, kefir and yogurt. The conclusions reflect that the processes of modernization and diversification in agro-industrial complex should be carried out simultaneously with deepening of the specialized focus of production, increase in interregional and industrial exchange, which is a powerful basis for the development of the national market and multi-structured economy.
