Methodological Strategies for Religious Studies
Authors:   Kazan Innovation University named after V. G. Timiryasova, Agapov О. D.
Published: December 2021

The scientific novelty of this article is based on the application of the methods of socio-historical epistemology to the processes of institutionalization of religious studies as a scientific object. Religious studies has reached a high, mature level of institutional, theoretical, methodological, sociocultural, and existential development which is expressed in the competition of different methodological strategies or a variety of methodological means which allow us to form a scientific approach towards religious phenomena. In particular, this article covers several aspects which testify to the “maturity” of religious studies as a socio-humanitarian science, namely: a) competition among three research strategies – objectivist, interpretative, and preformistic ones; b) competition between the naturalistic and the anti-naturalistic programs; c) a dispute among faculties and communities (scientific disciplines as leaders and outsiders); d)a struggle for legitimacy among the paradigms of secularization, desecularization, and postsecularization. The author has come to the conclusion that religious studies, being a part of a general project for the development of the social / social sciences, enters a post-secular stage which opens new theoretical and methodological possibilities for researching the sphere of the religious, the sacred, the numinous. One of the important steps for further methodological progress is the deconstruction of the paradigms of secularism and “de-secularism”, the process of building a more flexible and systematic methodological strategy for studying the field of religious phenomena.
On pairwise fuzzy almost gp-spaces
Authors: G Thangaraj , E Roseline Gladis
Published: December 2021

In this paper, the concept of pairwise fuzzy almost GP-spaces is introduced by means of pairwise fuzzy dense and pairwise fuzzy Gδ-sets . It is shown that the pairwise fuzzy almost GP-spaces are pairwise fuzzy irresolvable spaces and pairwise fuzzy submaximal spaces are pairwise fuzzy almost GP-spaces. Also it is established that the pairwise fuzzy strongly irresolvable and pairwise fuzzy nodec spaces are pairwise fuzzy almost GP-spaces. The conditions for the fuzzy bitopological spaces to become pairwise fuzzy σ-second category spaces and pairwise fuzzy weakly Volterra spaces are also obtained.
A study on a new method for solving interval neutrosophic linear programming problems
Authors: S N Mohamed Assarudeen , D Ulaganathan
Published: December 2021

Neutrosophic set theory is a generalization of the intuitionistic fuzzy set which can be considered as a powerful tool to express the indeterminacy and inconsistent information that exist commonly in engineering applications and real meaningful science activities. In this paper an interval neutrosophic linear programming (INLP) model will be presented, where its parameters are represented by triangular interval neutrosophic numbers (TINNs) and call it INLP problem. Afterward, by using a ranking function we present a technique to convert the INLP problem into a crisp model and then solve it by standard methods

Authors: Todorova-Ekmekci Mirena
Published: December 2021

Making the cultural and historical heritage of countries available and attractive to a broad public, including in a digital way, is a key to making it survive and be acknowledged and well-maintained in time. Researches and practices show that cultural objects, which are digitalized and promoted, are much more known, visited and attract better investments. Digital tools are more and more used - tools like video presentation, 3D models, interactive photos and video with objects, interactive presentations and games, online tours and life events in social media. Especially, after COVID-19 anti-epidemic measures were imposed, such digital and marketing methods of presentation and promotion became a necessity for museums, cultural institutions, events, festivals and other forms of cultural heritage, in order to continue their existence, work and reach to the public. The paper explores good practices and examples and a variety of media and marketing approaches and methods, which can be used for digital presenting and promotion of cultural heritage, historical objects, places and intangible cultural heritage.
Method modified AOAC 2015.01 in the microwave conditions and the addition
of HCl during sample digestion for simultaneous Pb, Cd, Hg, and As in infant
formula using ICP-MS: a method validation
Authors: Maulidyah I.S. , Faridah D.N. , Lioe H.N.
Published: December 2021

The presence of heavy metals in infant formula has become a global concern. The most
common method to determine heavy metals is AAS. However, as this technique is lacking
in several aspects, including the instrument’s low sensitivity, a more sensitive instrument
such as ICP-MS is necessary. The Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) was used in accordance with the standard method AOAC 2015.01 with modifications
on the microwave condition and the addition of hydrochloric acid (HCl) during the sample
digestion process. The modified standard method requires a validation process. This
research aimed to validate the method of analysis for the determination of Pb, Cd, Hg, As
in infant formula using ICP-MS and its application in formula milk. This research consists
of five stages: 1) instrumental performance; 2) homogeneity test; 3) method orientation; 4)
method validation; and 5) the application of the validated method to other products. The
findings in the research were: the method linearity was confirmed at working
concentration 5-30 µg/kg for all the heavy metals with R2
value of nearly 1,000; the
method limits of detection (LOD) were 0.74 µg/kg (Pb), 0.41 µg/kg (Cd), 0.08 µg/kg
(Hg), 0.50 µg/kg (As), while the method’s limits of quantification (LOQ) were 2.48 µg/kg
(Pb), 1.36 µg/kg (Cd), 0.27 µg/kg (Hg), 1.67 µg/kg (As); the method was found precise
with Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) below 2/3 RSD Horwitz and all the recovery
values were found to fall within the acceptable range (60–115%); the % RSD intra-lab
reproducibility was below RSD Horwitz; and the method was robust, indicating that it was
unaffected by small changes in its variables. The validated method can be applied
routinely to determine heavy metals in infant formula and formula milk.

Análisis del lenguaje educomunicativo de los museos arqueológicos españoles durante el confinamiento de 2020.
Authors: Navarro Neri Iñaki , Aso Morán Borja , Mendióroz Lacambra Ana María
Published: December 2021

El cierre físico forzoso de los museos y yacimientos arqueológicos españoles vivido durante los primeros compases de la crisis sanitaria entre marzo y junio de 2020, obligó a las instituciones a volcar su actividad divulgativa y educativa en redes sociales tales como Facebook, Twitter o Instagram. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar si estos espacios arqueológicos utilizan un lenguaje educomunicativo acorde con la plataforma social en la que se encuentran, a partir del análisis de su producción comunicativa online en Twitter durante los primeros cien días de la crisis ocasionada por la covid-19 (de marzo a junio de 2020).

Los resultados muestran cómo las instituciones museísticas españolas pertenecientes al ámbito arqueológico más activas en Twitter -ya antes de la pandemia-, no solo han demostrado tener perfectamente interiorizado el lenguaje educomunicativo, sino que, además, con la situación sobrevenida de crisis sanitaria y cierre forzoso de la actividad física, optaron por ampliar y diversificar su contenido. De igual manera, instituciones hasta entonces menos activas en esta plataforma, desarrollaron una actividad educomunicativa planificada y atractiva para todos los públicos.

La Educación Patrimonial puede ser una estrategia interesante para permitir a los alumnos de Educación Primaria reconstruir nuestro pasado, relacionarlo con el presente y conocer sus valores. Las diversas leyes educativas españolas han recogido contenidos y sugerencias didácticas relativos al patrimonio. Sin embargo, su puesta en práctica, en ocasiones, ha sido poco satisfactoria. Aquí se presenta una propuesta educativa sobre algunos elementos del patrimonio arqueológico de la oyenínsula Ibérica, en la que se utiliza una metodología que aúna el trabajo de investigación de los propios estudiantes y la utilización de las TIC y TAC. A través de preguntas, un aprendizaje práctico basado en la curiosidad y el asombro, el descubrimiento, la experimentación y la indagación, los alumnos pueden conocer diversos bienes culturales relacionados con la Prehistoria, las sociedades prerromanas y la Antigüedad Clásica, a los que es posible acceder de manera virtual por internet-
Innovación en el aula de Historia: los efectos del Role-Playing en la educación secundaria
Authors: Cuervo Sanchez Sarah E.
Published: December 2021

La complejidad y la relación con diferentes procesos históricos de los conceptos de primer orden hacen que su comprensión se torne ardua para los estudiantes. En este sentido, se ha desarrollado una experiencia en el aula centrada en medir el grado de aprendizaje alcanzado por el alumnado de 13 años en un centro de educación secundaria, sobre el concepto de primer orden panhelenismo. Dada la complejidad del concepto elegido, éste se ha dividido en 4 categorías subsidiarias. Para trabajar la mayoría de ellas se ha empleado el Role-Playing como actividad propicia para la comprensión de conceptos abstractos. Como instrumento de recogida de datos se han utilizado formularios, los cuales tras su análisis mediante la taxonomía de SOLO mostraron un aumento significativo en el grado de aprendizaje obtenido por el estudiantado, quedando patente la relación entre las metodologías empleadas, las actividades realizadas y el grado de aprendizaje alcanzado.

Published: December 2021

The genus of Chrysobothris Eschscholtz, 1829 is one of the most diverse and widespread genera of the family Buprestidae of some 700 described species distributed throughout the world. In Iraq, particularly in the Kurdistan region, about 4 species had been recorded so far, many of these species are sympatric, share larval host plants, and are difficult to reliably separate morphologically. The current study investigates species limits and relationships among the recognized species occurring within the Erbil Province; mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase (COX I) molecular analysis confirmed the monophyly of two Chrysobothris species, Ch. affinis (Fabricius, 1794) and Ch. chrysostigma (Linnaeus, 1758). Implications of the resultant larval morphology and molecular techniques are discussed. Diagnostic characteristics that are depended to identifying the species within Chrysobothris in larval stage were illustrated and then compared with the molecular data.
PERSONAL READINESS OF PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS OF VARIOUS SPECIALIZATIONS TO PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Antonov Dmitry D.
Published: December 2021

Professional self-determination of a specialist consists of two aspects: mastering of necessary competences and professionally important qualities, and formation of his motivation, attitude, and intension to implement professional activity – all this can be collectively called personal readiness to professional activity. The first aspect has been studied in sufficient detail; the second has been developed and empirically investigated to a lesser extent. Our research is exploratory in nature and its goal is to identify the features of personal readiness for professional activity of psychology students of different specialties. We also offer an instrument to assess students’ personal readiness for professional activity. The study was conducted on the students of Russian State University for the Humanities (Moscow, Russia), 50 respondents: 13 5th year students of «psychology of service activity», 11 5th year students of «psychology and pedagogy of deviant behavior», 11 3rd year students of «psychology of service activity», and 15 3rd year students of «psychology and pedagogy of deviant behavior». The average age was 21, 5 years old. In the study we used the author’s questionnaire to determine the attitude to the chosen specialty and subjective readiness to work in it in the future; semi-structured interview aimed at determining the status of identity J. Marcia. The content of the reflexive component is not connected with a course of study, and does not differ at 3 and 5 courses. In third-year students the status «moratorium» is more often combined with the attitude type «disappointed» and «seeking», the status «identity» – with the types «confident» and «hesitant». Psychologists of both specialties do not differ in the distribution of professional identity statuses. There is no specific type of attitude and identity status among graduate students of both specialties. Among the students of «psychology and pedagogy of deviant behavior» the type «hesitant» is more frequent. Among the students of «psychology of service activity» with the status of «moratorium» the type of attitude «disappointed» is more frequent. Among the students of «psychology and pedagogy of deviant behavior» with the status of «identity» types «confident», «hesitant» and «seeking» are more common.
LEISURE IN THE STRUCTURE OF VIABILITY OF TWO GENERATIONS OF MUSCOVITES
Authors:   Institute of Psychology, Russian Academy of Science, Emelyanova Tatyana P. , Tarasov Semyon V. ,   Institute of Psychology, Russian Academy of Science
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to comparing the preferred leisure activity of the two age groups of Muscovites and to identifying the connection of these preferences with other socio-psychological parameters of their viability. The sample consisted of 258 respondents with two age groups: 158 aged 18-35 and 100 aged 61-84. Methods were used: value orientations, author’s questionnaires of preferences for leisure activity, social responsibility, evaluation of positive and negative perception of urban environment, «scale of urban identity» M. Lalli. It is found that leisure choices are characterized by entertainment in both groups, but its cultural and educational appearance – visiting exhibitions, museums, theatres – is more characteristic of the older generation. Young people are more likely to engage in leisure activities such as cafés, bars, restaurants, shopping and extreme entertainment, which are related to the stress of the city. The role of positive perception of the city – city holidays, etc. - in the choice of leisure activities is noted. A lack of internal responsibility among young people may be related both to a lack of time, to a general hedonic focus of leisure, and to a lack of confidence in their ability to influence urban solutions.

Toprağı oluşturan ana materyalin niteliği, toprak oluşumunu ve besin elementlerinin elverişliliğini önemli ölçüde etkileyen bir faktördür. Bu çalışmada; Afyon ili Sandıklı ilçesinde bulunan magmatik, metamorfik ve tortul kayaçlar üzerinde oluşmuş toprakların bazı fiziko-kimyasal özelliklerdeki değişimlerin belirlenmesi ve jeokimyasal özelliklerin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Arazi kullanım türü mera ve kuru tarım olan toprakların fiziko-kimyasal özelliklerindeki değişkenlik en yüksek metamorfik, en düşük ise tortul kayaçlar üzerinde oluşmuş topraklarda belirlenmiştir. Tortul kayaçlar üzerinde oluşan topraklar genellikle kireç içeriği yüksek ve hafif alkalin reaksiyonlu olup, bazik katyonlarca zengindir. Tortul kayaçlarda kil ile tarla kapasitesi ve solma noktası arasında çok kuvvetli ilişki belirlenmiştir (r:0.93;0.89; p<0.001). Ayrıca, Fe içeriğinin kil (r: 0.71) ve solma noktası ile pozitif (r: 0.75) yönlü yüksek seviyeli ilişki gösterdiği de tespit edilmiştir. Magmatik kayaçlar üzerinde oluşmuş topraklarda ise Mg ile solma noktası (0.78; p<0.001) ve kum (r:-0.77; p<0.001) önemli yüksek ilişki göstermiştir. Metamorfik kayaçlarda oluşum gösteren topraklarda kum ve Fe içeriği diğer toprak özellikleri ile negatif yönlü, değişebilir katyonlar ile tarla kapasitesi ve solma noktasında ise kuvvetli, pozitif yönlü korelasyon belirlenmiştir. Magmatik kayaçlar üzerinde oluşmuş topraklarda P2O5, tortullarda CaO, metamorfiklerde ise SiO2 içerikleri diğer toprak gruplarına göre istatistiksel olarak önemli değişim sergilemiştir (p<0.01). Genel olarak temel toprak özelliklerinde arazi kullanımı ve ana materyale bağlı istatistiksel olarak önemli değişkenlikler tespit edilmiştir. Majör oksitlerde ise ana kayadaki farklılığa göre önemli, arazi kullanımına bağlı değişimler ise önemsiz bulunmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda, yarı kurak ekolojik koşulları altında toprak oluşturan faktörlerinden birisi olan ana materyalin toprak özellikleri üzerinde önemli derecede farklılıklar gösterdiği ortaya konmuştur.

2019 yılının sonundan bugüne Covid-19 salgını küresel düzeyde toplumsal hayatı derinden etkilemiştir. Salgının ilk zamanlarında pek çok ülkede sokağa çıkma yasaklarına gidilmiş ve toplumsal kapanmalar yaşanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, koronavirüs
pandemesinde ortaya çıkan toplumsal durumun bazı boyutları ‘risk toplumu’ çerçevesinde ele alınmaktadır. Makalenin temel ekseni bireysel, kurumsal ve kolektif toplumsal temsiller düzeylerindeki hem kapanma hem açılma biçimlerinin
diyalektik biçimidir. Bireysel, kurumsal ve kolektif temsiller bazında kapanma boyutlarına dikkat çekilmiş ve bu kapanmaların aynı zamanda yeni bir biçimde sosyal açılmayı da içinde barındırdığına vurgu yapılmıştır. Evlere kapanma
süreci eşzamanlı olarak bireylerin yeni sosyalleşmelerinin de önünü açmıştır. Teknoloji insanın dışa dönük açılmasının önemli araçlarından biri olmuştur. Belirsizlik ve riskli ikliminde ortaya çıkan endişeli ruh hallerine karşı
endişe dayanışmaları inşa edilmiştir. Gelinen aşamada risk toplumu daha fazla derinlik kazanmış ve yaygın bir hale bürünmüştür. Risk duyarlılığı korkuyu arttırmış, korku ise mesafeli de olsa geçici kolektifler meydana getirmiştir.
Keza geçmişi hatırlama gibi birtakım eşzamanlı kolektif hareketler ortaya çıkmıştır.

Cashew apples are highly perishable fruits and cannot be stored in ambient conditions for more than one day. The study of modified atmospheric packaging of cashew apple was aimed to extend the shelf life. Cashew apple (variety: VRI 3) was subjected to passive MAP of O2 – 21%, CO2- 0.03 %, and N2 78%. PP 60 µm film showed the lowest permeability of O2 and CO2 was 1999 mL/m2/day and 2935 mL/m2/day. The cashew apple packed with PP 60 µm had the lowest mass loss of 1.356 %, maximum retention of color 56.02 (‘L’), 36.96 (‘a’), 41.14(‘b’), firmness of 3.423 N, pH 0.259, and vitamin C of 404.35 mg/100g on the 9th day of storage under refrigerated condition. Fungal growth was also better controlled in PP 60 µm under refrigerated conditions and fungal growth was 9.73 x 104cfu/g on the 9th day. This study revealed that passive MAP of Cashew apple can extend the shelf life up to 9 days of storage.

The study was conducted to find the fluctuation in the prices and arrival of the selected high value agricultural commodities. The study was conducted for the period 2004-2020 by collecting secondary data from CMIE (Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy) database. The major agricultural commodities were selected purposively on the basis of high price fluctuatiion and arrivals in the market. The commodities selected for the study include, castor seed, coriander, jeera, soybean and turmeric. The results of the study showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between growth rate and the prices of selected commodities with Jeera showing the highest growth rate of (9.87%) in arrival followed by turmeric (9.05%) and the lowest in coriander (5.06%) as against the prices where it showed all together with a different scenario with highest in case of coriander (7.55%) followed by soybean (7.24%) and lowest in jeera with (5.69%) respectively. The results of the findings revealed that in all the commodities high seasonal indices were observed from March to June indicating high post-harvest arrivals during these months. In the case of soybean and turmeric, the seasonal index for prices is high in April to September, which reveals that there is a lack of storage facilities and the production during these months is very low. This study suggested improvement in the infrastructure, storage, and postharvest techniques so that the arrivals of these commodities get increased and availability should be throughout the year so that the price fluctuation can be minimized.

R1234yf and R744 as alternatives to R134a at mobile air conditioners
Authors: ONAN Cenk , ERDEM Serkan
Published: December 2021

R1234yf is a synthetic HFO refrigerant co-developed as a replacement refrigerant for R134a in automotive air conditioning applications. Thus, in this study, alternatives to the R134a refrigerant that were removed from the newly produced devices were examined. The performance of the cooling processes of R1234yf and R744 refrigerant gases was compared with that of R134a. A simulation model was first developed. This simulation model was validated with experimental results. Analysis was conducted for both cooling and heating modes. In the case of cooling, evaporation temperature was 5 °C–7.5 °C, condenser, or gas cooler outlet temperature was 35 °C–50 °C and the cooling load was 10 kW. In heating mode, evaporation temperature was −4 °C–12 °C, condenser, or gas cooler outlet temperature was 45 °C–50 °C and the heating load was 13.5 kW. The results were analyzed in terms of the coefficient of performance (COP), compressor power consumption, and compressor discharge temperature.

RABIES ORAL IMMUNIZATION AGAINST RABIES
Authors: Hussain Khalid A.
Published: December 2021

Rabies is a highly fatal infection of the central nervous system which occur in all warm-blooded animals and transmitted by the bites of affected animals. The major manifestations of the disease include motor irritation and clinical signs of mania and an attack complex and ascending paralysis. Rabies and rabies related viruses belong to a group of more than 75 viruses called RHABDOVIRUSES (Rhabdo=rod) because of their bullet-shaped morphology. The virus is fragile, easily inactivated by disinfectants, and does not exist free in the environment. Instead, in the course of its infection in reservoir host species, it is shed into the saliva and is transmitted by bite. After entry into a new host in the bite site, rabies virus multiplies in muscle cells and aggregates around the proprio receptor nerve endings of their acetylcholine receptors and then spreads through neural pathways, all without stimulating an effective host immune response. Transmission depends on simultaneous delivery of virus to the salivary glands and the limbic system of the brain. Infection of the limbic system of the brain is the cause of the fury which drives the animal to bite. Infection of the salivary glands is the source of the large amounts of virus in saliva. This unique pathogenetic patterns leads to entrenchment of the virus in its reservoir host populations and to continuing risk of exposure of man. Dog rabies has been controlled globally by the use of potent vaccines and the application of effective urban control programs (poisoning trapping shooting). The problem that then remained has been wildlife rabies, primarily in wolves, foxes, skunks, raccoons as well as stray dogs. Therefore, a new approach to wildlife rabies control has been made which involves oral vaccination. Several successful trials were attempted in Switzerland, West Germany and the U.S.S.R. Rabies control efforts in the developing countries did little to really reduce the incidence of the disease. Therefore, mass vaccination of dogs and the elimination of strays coupled with the oral vaccination (recombinant vaccinia vaccine) of dogs so that the population of susceptible stray dogs can be immunized.

This study will determine how much the influence of the exchange rate, the number of MSMEs, investment, credit, and inflation on MSME exports nationally, and how they contribute to GDP per capita. The research method uses multiple regression with data transformation ln. The results of the study consist of model 1, the exchange rate factor, the number of MSMEs, investment, credit, and inflation are variables that influence increasing the number of product exports produced from the MSME sector. In the second model, the contribution of MSME exports to GDP per capita. The results showed that of all significant positive variables and one significant negative variable. The investment required in Indonesia, whose number continues to increase yearly, affects the high number of products exports from the MSME sector.

For this reason, investment factors must continue to be considered to increase MSME exports. In contrast, the contribution of the inflation variable has a significant negative effect, which is an inverse relationship to MSME exports. It is predicted that if inflation is low, MSME exports will increase, and vice versa if inflation is high, MSME exports will decline. Furthermore, model 2 shows that MSME exports significantly contribute to gross domestic product per capita. In this case, the ups and downs of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises' exports need special attention.

Authors: Cheishvili Ana
Published: December 2021

The archives of Stephen Sommier and Emile Levier, two Florentine scientists are preserved at the University of Florence Botanical Library archive fund. The archives are comprised of manuscripts and correspondence of the two scientists. Stephen Sommier and Emile Levier travelled to Georgia in 1890 to conduct anthropological researches and to collect and study rare plants. Although a number of articles and books designated for academic circles and a broad circle of readers were published in subsequent years, historians still have not studied their expedition. Correspondence of Sommier and Levier preserved at the Botanical Library has turned out to be a significant resource and example for studying the methodology the nineteenth-century scientists used for long-distance trips.

“He Used to Be A Late Talker”: Parents’ Narration Of A Five-Year-Old Child Named Hasan
Authors: Sudarwati Emy , Ningrum Ary Setya Budhi
Published: December 2021

This narrative inquiry is based on the lived experiences of parents who have a speech delayed child. A child with a language delay must go through in order to appropriately have strong competence in the language learning process. The data were derived from parents’ stories, a speech therapy progress book, medical records, and video recordings of classroom activities. Findings were focused on the thorough process a research subject has undergone to finally survive in catching up his lag of language development compared to the mainstream children of his age. After four years of intensive labor requiring parental involvement and three years of programmed therapy, the research subject achieves improvement milestones that enable him to catch up to conventional children's language development, which he should have completed. More research into the deployment of other linguistic aspects is needed to provide a clear picture of the development of his language learning.

This work is devoted to the study of phasing errors of a matrix simulator focused on several receiving points. Errors arising during signal calibration are considered. The phase error compensation procedure is designed for matrix simulators used to simulate echoes for a single receive antenna. It allows to align the phases of the simulator signals and eliminate simulation errors caused by phase errors. It is shown that this procedure does not allow to eliminate phasing errors simultaneously for several receiving antennas. The case of a two-antenna system and a matrix of two emitters is considered. For this case, a relation was obtained for calculating the phase correction, which minimizes the phasing error of the signals. Herewith the magnitude of the error depends on the magnitude of the random displacements of the emitters from the required positions. For a given emitter positioning accuracy, the worst case is investigated, which corresponds to the maximum phase error. Relationships are obtained to estimate this error. On the basis of these relations, the ways of its minimization are established. For a larger number of emitters, a relation is obtained for calculating the maximum possible phasing error. The results obtained can be extended to the case of a larger number of receiving antennas. In order to verify the theoretical results a matrix of two emitters was developed focused on two receiving points. A number of numerical experiments have been carried out, the results of which have confirmed the reliability of the obtained relationships. The results of this work are practically significant, since they determine the requirements for the configuration of the matrix simulator. They allow to determine whether the required phasing can be provided for a given matrix. They can be used in the development of matrix simulators of echo signals of multi-antenna radar systems.

Published: December 2021

The analysis of environmental plasticity and stability made it possible to identify adaptable gooseberry cultivars: ‘Avangard’ (CA = 1.77), ‘Vladil’ (CA = 1.58), ‘Grinchel’ (CA = 1.24), ‘Kovcheg’ (CA = 1.13) and ‘Arlekin’ (CA = 1.01). Cv. ‘Grinchel’, submitted for state trials in 2020, is an intensive-type cultivar (bi = 1.49), cvs. ‘Arlekin’ (bi = 1.03; Si2 = 4.1) and ‘Vladil’ (bi =1.03; Si2 = 1.0) are environmentally plastic and stable, while cvs. ‘Avangard’ (bi = 0.51) and ‘Kovcheg’ (bi = 0.53) belong to the neutral type. The advantages of these cultivars are their high productivity, large fruit size, dessert flavor, high winter hardiness, low thorniness, and increased resistance to American gooseberry mildew. High productivity in years with favorable and satisfactory growing conditions can be provided by the intensive-type cultivars ‘Stanichny’ (bi = 1.55) and ‘Kooperator’ (bi = 1.35) as well as the plastic but insufficiently stable cv. ‘Uralsky Izumrud’ (bi = 1.03; Si2= 5.3).
