Kapitał klienta a wartość rynkowa na przykładzie bankowości detalicznej
Authors: Snarska Aleksandra
Published: January 2018

Niniejszy artykuł koncentruje się na badaniu zależności między wartością życiowa klienta a wartością rynkową banków na rynku polskim. Wielu autorów (P. Seybold, S. Gupta, D. Lehmann, R. Boulton, B. Liebert, S. Samek, R. Heiebeler, T. Kelly, Ch. Ketteman, P. Doyle) wykazywało pozytywną zależność miedzy wartością przyszłych przepływów pieniężnych od bazy klientów firmy a prognozowaną wyceną rynkową firmy przez inwestorów. Innym zastosowaniem wartości życiowej klienta jest zarządzanie kapitałem klienta poprzez rozwijanie klientów, ochrona relacji z nimi, zacieśnianie relacji czy zwiększanie ich wartości. Głównym założeniem artykułu jest przybliżenie metody CLV oraz zbadanie rozlicznych korelacji tego wskaźnika z wynikami finansowymi banków giełdowych. Artykuł koncentruje się także na metodologiach i trudnościach wyliczania CLV. W tym przypadku zbadane zostaną dwie metody liczenia CLV – jedna oparta na zysku z działalności podstawowej, a druga hipotetycznie bardziej dokładna na zysku brutto w segmencie operacyjnym detal. W związku z przyjętym podejściem ukazana zostanie charakterystyka tak rozumianego kapitału klienta na polskim rynku banków giełdowych wyliczana osobno dla CLV na zysku z działalności podstawowej oraz na zysku brutto. Wiele badań wykazywało pozytywną korelację między wartością szacunkowych przyszłych przepływów pieniężnych bazy klienckiej banku a wartością rynkową firmy. Finalnie zweryfikowana zostanie hipoteza o wysokiej korelacji między wartością życiową bazy klientów banku a jego wartością rynkową banków.

Financialization of economy, taking into account agribusiness
Authors: Franc-Dąbrowska Justyna
Published: January 2018

Financialization of economy is taking place. It seems that along with the progressing rate of information flow, emergence of new financial instruments and searching for new forms of creating value, this process is irreversible. Financialization is also applicable to the field of agribusiness. The specific traits of the agricultural sector - in particular, one of its production factors, that is, land - have resulted in growing interest of investors in directing uncommitted cash to this sector. A typical trait of financialization of agribusiness is purchase of land, which allows for reduction of investment risk, at the same time offering security against inflation. Research shows that financialization in agribusiness results not only from commitment.

Authors: Skarżyńska Aldona
Published: January 2018

Celem badań była ocena wyników ekonomicznych produkcji żywca wołowego oraz identyfikacja głównych czynników determinujących jej opłacalność. Wyniki produkcji żywca analizowano w trzech grupach gospodarstw, wydzielonych według kwartyli nadwyżki bezpośredniej, tj. w gospodarstwach najlepszych, średnich i najsłabszych. Analizie poddano średnie trzyletnie. Głównym czynnikiem różnicującym efekty ekonomiczne produkcji żywca wołowego były poniesione koszty, wpływ ceny sprzedaży był mniejszy. Decydujący wpływ miały koszty bezpośrednie, które w kolejnych grupach gospodarstw sukcesywnie rosły: w średnich gospodarstwach były wyższe niż w najlepszych o 40,2%, a w najsłabszych – o 82,0%. Wysokość kosztów bezpośrednich była determinowana głównie przez koszt wymiany stada, wpływ miał także koszt pasz. Produkcja żywca wołowego ekonomicznie efektywna była tylko w gospodarstwach najlepszych, wskaźnik opłacalności wynosił 111,9%, natomiast w średnich i najsłabszych koszty produkcji zostały pokryte częściowo, odpowiednio w 88,8 i 72,4%.
THE ROLE OF FINANCING THE ACTIVITIES OF AGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS WITH BORROWED CAPITAL IN THE OPINION OF INDIVIDUAL FARMERS
Authors: Mądra-Sawicka Magdalena
Published: January 2018

The aim of this paper is to present the opinions of farmers about financing agricultural holdings with borrowed capital. The research addressed the purpose of using borrowed capital, its determinants and the assessment of the benefits of its use in the opinions of farmers. The survey was conducted with the use of interview questionnaire in the group of 100 farmers running individual agricultural holdings in the Mazowieckie voivodeship. These entities applied agricultural accounting within FADN system. The criterion for the division of the surveyed units included the economic size expressed in ESU, which allowed taking into account the level of profitability of these entities. The main problem of the management of finance sources, according to the farmers, consisted in the maintenance of financial liquidity on the safe level. The farmers saw benefits of the increase of financing with borrowed capital for the faster modernization of agricultural assets. The farmers choose a conservative financing strategy; preferring long-term financing sources, they wanted to minimise financial risk. The farmers listed the following main determinants of the level of debt: the value of the investment, own contribution required and subsidies to interest on subsidised loans.
Effect of a grey hail protection net on the fruit quality of the ‘Bluecrop’ highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

Published: January 2018

The main focus of our study was to investigate effects of the modified
microclimate under a grey hail protection net (HPN) on biometrical fruit
characteristics (fruit weight, index of fruit shape, and seed number per
fruit) and nutritional value (soluble solid content - SSC, titratable acidity
- TA, total anthocyanins - TACY, total phenolics - TPH and total antioxidant
capacity - TAC) of the ?Bluecrop? highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum
L.). The study was conducted in the ?Bluecrop? highbush blueberry plantation
located in Mladenovac (Serbia) during two consecutive years (2013, 2014). The
orchard was established using two-year-old nursery trees in spring 2011, at a
planting density of 3,300 bushes per ha. The grey polyethylene net
(SILVERLUX?, Helios Group, Lurano, Italy) with a Leno wave structure and a
mesh size of 2.8 x 8 mm was used. During the research period, light intensity
was measured weekly at 12.00 hr using a digital lux-meter ?Peak teck? PT-5025
(Germany). Air temperature and relative humidity within the canopy were
recorded using climate dataloggers (type DT-171, Shenzhen Flus Technology
Co., Ltd, China) both under HPN and in the open field (OF). Twelve readings
per treatment were taken at 2-hour intervals every day in each season. In
both years of observation, light was reduced by 5-20% under HPN, whereby
daily maximum temperature was 2.4?C lower causing 4% higher daily minimum
relative air humidity than in OF. ?Bluecrop? had significantly higher average
fruit weights under HPN ranging from 1.93 g (2013) to 1.86 g (2014) in
comparison to those observed in OF. The SSC did not differ between the
treatments in 2014, whereas a significantly higher mean value was registered
in the fruits harvested under HPN (12.8%) compared to those from OF in 2013.
The mean TA was higher under HPN in 2014 (0.57%), whereas in 2013 a
significantly higher TA content was found in OF (0.87%). HPN showed a
positive effect on the TPH content (7.12 mg GA/g FW), but an almost 2-fold
higher value was registered in 2013. Similar to this, TAC was 2.5-fold higher
in 2013, without a significant effect of HPN in both experimental years.

Multilayer YAG/Nd3+:YAG/YAG composite laser ceramics were obtained by the
reactive sintering in vacuum. The effect of the neodymium ion concentration
(1-4 at.%) on the formation of defects and optical quality of composite
ceramics was studied. It was found that neodymium ions modify densification
kinetics during solid-state reactive sintering of the highly-doped Nd3+:YAG
ceramics by decreasing shrinkage rate in the temperature range 1320-1350 ?C.
Differences in phase transformation kinetics during reactive sintering lead
to generation of pores at the interface of adjacent layers which decrease the
optical homogeneity of fabricated YAG/Nd3+:YAG/YAG composite ceramics. The
influence of layered structure on the laser performance of optical ceramics
was investigated. It was shown that the ceramics with multilayer composite
architecture have slope efficiency almost twice as the single-layer ceramics
with the same composition (22% and 12.5%, respectively).

Published: January 2018

Flight activity of aphids as potential vectors of viral infection of alfalfa
plants were monitored in Serbia for the first time in Europe. Research was
conducted at the location Progar (Srem) for two years using six yellow water
traps. A total of 1626 individual winged aphids were collected. The collected
specimens were classified into 49 different taxa. During the two-year study,
maximum population density of aphids and maximum potential vector activity
were noted at the beginning of June, during the second alfalfa intercut. More
than 65% of the collected specimens were potential vectors of the most
important alfalfa viruses, Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) and Cucumber mosaic
virus (CMV). The most numerous winged aphid species on alfalfa were Aphis
craccivora, Aphis fabae, Aphis gossypii, Aphis pomi/spiraecola and
Therioaphis trifolii. The Morisita-Horn similarity index was used to
calculate similarities in species composition among the traps. High values of
this index showed no significant differences among the aphids in traps. It
indicates that one trap alone could provide good insight into the abundance,
aphid diversity and number of potential vector species in small alfalfa
fields.

Published: January 2018

Acute toxicity of an imidacloprid-based product (Confidor 200 SL) to pupae of
the whitefly parasitoid Encarsia formosa Gahan (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae),
and its effects on life history traits and population growth in F1 generation
of the surviving parasitoid females of a commercial strain (?Dutch? strain,
D) and two local populations from Serbia (Bujanovac, B; Negotin, N) were
examined in laboratory bioassays. All trials were carried out at 27?1?C
temperature and 60?10% relative humidity, and under 16/8 h daylight/darkness
photoperiod in four replications. In acute toxicity bioassays, tobacco leaves
carrying parasitoid pupae were treated with a series of symmetrical
concentrations (800, 400, 200, 100, 50 and 25 mg a.i./l) covering a 10-90%
mortality range. The product based on imidacloprid, applied directly onto
parasitoid pupae at mean lethal concentrations (LC50) determined in the acute
toxicity assays (30 mg/l, 20 mg/l and 25 mg/l, for populations B, N and D,
respectively), significantly affected the survival of females developed from
the treated pupae, extended the duration of juvenile development (by 1.81,
1.59 and 1.73 days for populations B, N and D, respectively), significantly
reduced total parasitism of females D (25.92 %), total female adult emergence
in populations B (27.48 %) and D (17.92 %), and significantly reduced the
instantaneous rate of increased only of females N (4.23 %). Considering the
high acute toxicity of the imidacloprid product to the pupal stage of E.
formosa, and significant reductions in life table and population parameters,
imidacloprid is not considered compatible for simultaneous use with the
parasitoid E. formosa. A more precise assessment of risks involved in the use
of that insecticide requires a more detailed testing in the field. The
implications of these results for the concept of integrated control of the
greenhouse whitefly are discussed.

Authors: Wegrzyniak Lauren M. , Hedderly Deborah , Chaudry Kishore , Bollu Prashanti
Published: January 2018

Objective:

To evaluate the effectiveness of patient-chosen appointment reminder methods (phone call, e-mail, or SMS text) in reducing no-show rates.

Materials and Methods:

This was a retrospective case study that determined the correlation between patient-chosen appointment reminder methods and no-show rates in a private orthodontic practice. This study was conducted in a single office location of a multioffice private orthodontic practice using data gathered in 2015. The subjects were patients who self-selected the appointment reminder method (phone call, e-mail, or SMS text). Patient appointment data were collected over a 6-month period. Patient attendance was analyzed with descriptive statistics to determine any significant differences among patient-chosen reminder methods.

Results:

There was a total of 1193 appointments with an average no-show rate of 2.43% across the three reminder methods. No statistically significant differences (P = .569) were observed in the no-show rates between the three methods: phone call (3.49%), e-mail (2.68%), and SMS text (1.90%).

Conclusions:

The electronic appointment reminder methods (SMS text and e-mail) had lower no-show rates compared with the phone call method, with SMS text having the lowest no-show rate of 1.90%. However, since no significant differences were observed between the three patient-chosen reminder methods, providers may want to allow patients to choose their reminder method to decrease no-shows.

Published: January 2018

A mediastinite necrosante descendente (MND) é um processo infeccioso agudo oriundo de complicações de infecções cervicais ou odontogênicas. Relatos antigos na literatura revelam até 50% de taxa de mortalidade — atualmente, na era da antibioticoterapia, esse índice decresceu. Contudo, devido à potencial gravidade da condição, o quadro pode ainda evoluir para sepse e morte. O presente trabalho objetivou relatar um caso clínico e revisar a literatura científica sobre a MND oriunda após exodontias. Paciente de 21 anos apresentou infecção odontogênica após exodontia dos elementos 38 e 48 com evolução para MND, que, mesmo após intervenção cirúrgica invasiva e antibioticoterapia, resultou em óbito. Concluise que a MND é uma condição grave para a qual é imprescindível o tratamento adequado imediato, uma vez que suas complicações resultam, muitas vezes, em óbito do paciente.

Authors: Silber Fabio Wainstein , Silber Marcelo , Espírito Santo Douglas Alexandre
Published: January 2018

A síndrome da febre periódica, estomatite aftosa, faringite e adenite (periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis – PFAPA) é caracterizada por episódios recorrentes de febre alta, estomatite aftosa, faringite e adenite cervical em crianças de faixa etária entre um e cinco anos. As crises da doença ocorrem em um intervalo de cerca de 30 dias, e nesse período há dias em que as crianças apresentam-se saudáveis. Os sintomas tendem a se atenuar espontaneamente com o avanço da idade. A prednisona pode ser utilizada para controlar os sinais e sintomas nas crises. Em alguns casos, a tonsilectomia é a melhor opção terapêutica. Este artigo relata um caso de síndrome PFAPA e realiza uma revisão de sua literatura – clínica, diagnóstico e tratamento.

Published: January 2018

A adolescência compreende o período da vida que se estende dos 10 aos 19 anos, é uma fase de transformações biopsicossociais profundas. Em decorrência disso, é comum os adolescentes apresentarem comportamentos negligentes em relação aos seus cuidados com saúde e esse período é tido como de risco aumentado para o aparecimento de cárie dentária e outras afecções bucais, devido ao controle precário da placa e menor cuidado com a escovação. Objetivo: Fomentar uma ação educativa visando à redução de riscos aos quais esse segmento populacional encontra-se exposto. Materiais e métodos: Este é um estudo transversal e qualitativo com 10 adolescentes do sexo feminino, na faixa etária de 10 a 14 anos e que fazem parte do grupo que frequenta o Território Jovem, Vila Sabiá, no município de Sorocaba, São Paulo. Utilizaram-se estratégias para formar vínculo com as adolescentes e depois foi avaliado seu conhecimento prévio sobre conceitos importantes como: saúde bucal; placa bacteriana; escovação; fio dental; flúor; sangramento da gengiva; piercing oral e mau hálito. Em seguida foi promovida uma intervenção que visou a aumentar o conhecimento sobre os temas propostos para reduzir os riscos e agravos à saúde oral e geral das adolescentes. Resultados e Conclusões: Percebe-se que houve um ganho incipiente de conhecimento das adolescentes, mas existe a necessidade de um tempo maior para orientá-las de forma a fixarem os conteúdos apresentados. Também é necessário que haja um aproveitamento melhor dos espaços que o território oferece para disseminar informações sobre saúde bucal e, assim, criar vínculo entre os profissionais de odontologia e as adolescentes.

Finite Element Approximation of Variational Inequalities: An Algorithmic Approach
Authors: Boulbrachene Messaoud
Published: January 2018

In this paper, we introduce a new method to analyze the convergence of the standard finite element method for elliptic variational inequalities with noncoercive operators (VI). The method consists of combining the so-called Bensoussan-Lions algorithm with the characterization of the solution, in both the continuous and discrete contexts, as fixed point of contraction. Optimal error estimates are then derived, first between the continuous algorithm and its finite element counterpart, and then between the true solution and the approximate solution.
Teaching Statistics to Engineering Students – An Australian Experience of Using Educational Technologies
Authors: Khan Shahjahan , MRK Khadem Mohammad , Piya Sujan
Published: January 2018

Engineers require scientific methods whereby models are developed to explain real phenomena. Model building, data collection, data analysis, and data interpretation form the very core of any sound engineering practice. Therefore statistical methodologies are vital components in engineering curricula and engineers should have the ability to think statistically when dealing with data. They should learn how to design and conduct well-planned experiments to improve the efficiency of the process and the quality of products, and must learn to deal with data, and interpret results produced as a part of their data analysis skills. Statistical methods are vital in engineering practices such as process monitoring by control charts, process optimization by response surface methodology, determining important factors by hypothesis testing, process modelling by regression analysis, initial pilot plant operation by design of experiments and laboratory recommendation. This paper shares some of the experiences of teaching statistics to undergraduate engineering students in an Australian University, focusing on the appropriate content, teaching technique, educational technology, software package, online support and evaluation in an engineering problem solving course. Results from an online survey of students are also presented.

PEMBENTUKAN PERATURAN DAERAH DALAM ERA DEMOKRASI
Authors: Santoso Sugeng
Published: January 2018

AbstrakDemokrasi atau kedaulatan rakyat adalah prinsip konstitusional Negara Republik Indonesia. Sebagai prinsip konstitusional, pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan harus berlandaskan pada prinsip demokrasi. Hal yang sama berlaku pula dalam pembentukan peraturan daerah. Dalam artikel ini ditemukan kecenderungan bahwa pembentukan peraturan daerah kurang mengindahkan prinsip demokrasi. Pembentukan peraturan daerah cenderung elitis dan kurang melibatkan partisipasi masyarakat secara memadai. AbstractDemocracy or sovereignty of the people is a principle that is enshrined in the constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. As a constitutional principle, the establishment of legislation should be based on the principles of democracy. The same thing applies in the issuance of local regulations. This article argues that the formation of local regulations has a tendency to disregard the principle of democracy. The formation of local regulations tend to be elitist and lacking adequate public participation.
SURAT BERHARGA GENERASI KETIGA: MODEL BARU INSTRUMEN TRANSAKSI GIRAL
Authors: Dwiyatmi Sri
Published: January 2018

AbstrakPerkembangan Instrumen surat berharga sungguh luar biasa, secara bertahap terasakan sejak tahun 1980. Perkembangan tersebut menyangkut jenis, sifat dan ciri. Perkembangan tersebut seperti lepas dari rumahnya yaitu hukum surat-surat berharga (KUHD) sebagaikaidah yang mengaturnya. Perkembangan ini perlu dicermati apakah sampai pada terjadi perubahan bangunan hukumnya dengan adanya model instrumen generasi ketiga ini? Perbedaan utama pada generasi ketiga terletak antara lain pada latar belakang penerbitan,tujuan penerbitan, mekanisme penerbitan, jenis instrumen serta fungsi dan klausula. Perbedaan ini menjadikan surat berharga generasi ketiga ini sebagai model baru yang secara prinsip sebenarnya kehilangan sifat dan ciri sebagai surat berharga dalam pengertian KUHD, sekaligus terjadi perubahan konsep sebagai instrumen surat berharga/transaksi giral, dengan perbedaan dominan sifat dan cirinya seperti tersebut diatas. AbstractSince 1980, the securities instruments has developed in a remarkable way. The development included the change in the type, nature and characteristics of securities. This paper intends to examine whether the development of the instruments of securities also include the changes in the legal construction of securities. The development of securities instruments that creates securities of third generation is characterized by the emergence of two categories of instruments, namely foreign exchange instruments (swaps, spot, forward) and nonforeign exchange (credit-linked notes). The so-called third generation securities has different properties and characteristics compared to the first generation of securities regulated in the Indonesian Commercial Code. This difference, among others, are in the background of issuance, issuance mechanisms, types of instruments, functions and clauses. This difference makes the third generation of securities as a new model that deviates from the previous generation of securities within the meaning the Indonesian Commercial Code.
La Religion de L'Antiqué, de Cicéron à Chateaubriand: le signe et le sens
Authors: Gély Suzanne
Published: January 2018

O presente trabalho estuda a construção do signo no uso e pelo uso, abordando a apreciação dos monumentos da Antiguidade em épocas posteriores. O signo, no sentido linguístico do termo, pode ser arbitrário, mas se lhe dá e ele próprio encontra um sentido que é seu sentido, aqui e agora, pois o ouvinte, o leitor das palavras e o observador de objetos de arte percebem e dão um sentido aos mesmos num movimento coordenado.
Perspectivas da alteridade na obra de Luciano de Samósata
Authors: Brandão Jacyntho Lins
Published: January 2018

L'ouvre de Lucien a posé souvent des problèmes difficiles à resoudre. Depuis Croiset, qui affirme qu'elle n'a point d'unité, les opinions diffèrent: de l’interpretation de Helm à la théorie de la mimésis de Bompaire ou la lecture sociale de Baldwin. Je me propose de la lire dans le cadre d’une “poetique de l’alterité”, dans le contexte des problèmes d’identité que soulèvent les rapports des barbares hellénisés avec la tradition grecque.
Dido y Eneas en el "Quijote" de 1615
Authors: Vila Juan Diego
Published: January 2018

Ainda que o conhecimento, por parte de Cervantes, das versões da Eneida do século de ouro espanhol seja algo comumente creditado pela crítica, não têm havido estudos que avaliem adequadamente a índole de tal reelaboração. Neste artigo centrar-nos-emos na paródia dos amores de Dido e Eneias, que Cervantes realiza, na segunda parte de sua obra, através das personagens Altisidora e Dom Quixote. Estruturada ao longo de três momentos-chave e encadeada ao tratamento de outros dois mitos clássicos - o de Teseu e Ariadne e o de Orfeu e Eurídice - esta análise pretende uma releitura que leve em conta o valor da obra virgiliana na conformação deste romance.

The use of bio-wastes in agriculture contributes to the conservation of natural resources by reciclyng carbon and mineral elements. This investigation evaluated the variation of the content of heaby metals in souls affected by sodicity, on which alternating doses of bio-wastes were applied: vinasse, composted swinte manure an sewage sludge forma a wastewater treatment plant. Ten treatments with three doses were implemented for each bio-waste treatment in addition to the control treatment. During the investigationm two applications of bio-wastes were performed with a temporal spacing of two months and three samples were taken: the first one corresponding to the initialcondition of the area without the application of bio-wastes, and the remaining two samples were taken on the first and seventeenth month respectively after the application of bio-wastes. The results indicated a low intake of heaby metals on the soil in the three evaluations that were carried out. However, the use of these residues in agriculture requires specific recommendations for each agro-climatic condition to preven environmental damage.

Infrared spectral fingerprints of the toxicity effects of CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3SnI3 photovoltaic perovskites
Authors: Quaroni Luca , Benmessaoud Iness , Vileno Bertrand , Horvath Endre , Forro Laszlo
Published: January 2018

We use Fourier-Transform infrared spectromicroscopy to study at the molecular level the effect of exposure of human A549 and SH-SY5Y cell lines to the perovskites CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) and CH3NH3SnI3 (MASnI3). By monitoring the infrared absorption of amide bands over a few days following exposure to the metals, we observe the appearance of a strong band at 1628 cm-1. This band is tentatively assigned to the extensive formation of intermolecular β-sheet structures. A similar response is observed after exposure of the cells to CuSO4, suggesting that the mechanism underlying the observed spectroscopic changes is not specific for Pb2+ and Sn2+, and it may be associated to a generic cellular response to stressful environmental conditions.
Production of wheat doubled haploids by in vitro anther culture
Authors: Turasheva S. K.
Published: January 2018

The in vitro culture response of anthers, originating from high yielding and resistance to lodging F1 soft wheat hybrid
plants selected under drought conditions, was investigated. The spikes were collected when the microspores were at
the mid-uninucleate stage and after 3 days at 40 C for cold pre-treatment, the anthers were cultured in N6 and Gamborg-
Eveleg B5 (B5) solid medium. Progeny from 17 different F1 families were used and 9 of them responded to in
vitro anther culture and 7 of them produced fertile green plants. Doubled haploid green plants were fertile and produced seeds. Induction of aploid development depends on genotype, stage of male gametophyte development, composition of nutrient media and conditions of cultivation. The effect of the composition of media and different genotypes on wheat anther culture was investigated. From the genotypes produced regenerants, the high yielding genotypes from local breeding collection of wheat produced more albino plants (35.2%) compared to high yielding genotypes from CYMMIT collection (24.92%) ones. Independent of culture medium composition a ratio of doubled haploid/haploid was 4.57:1 and a ratio of haploid/aneuploid was 18.5:1, in particular 81.28 % of green plants were doubled haploid, 17.76% were haploid and the rest (0.96%) were aneuploid

One of the most important problems of probiotics production is the development of non-waste technologies, in particular, usage of microbial cultures fugate. In conventional technology, it must be disposed of after the intensive heat treatment in drains. The fugate does not contain bacteria, but rather products of their metabolism and biosynthesis, which may have therapeutic, preventive and growth-stimulating effects. The above mentioned fact shows the relevance of the development of non-waste technology of feed probiotics of the genus Bacillus and their metabolites. In al-Farabi Kazakh National University, at Biotechnology Department of Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology were obtained experimental samples of probiotic feed additives – SUBACIL. SUBACIL-1 is lyophilized biomass of Bacillus subtilis P-2 containing 9х1012 spores in 1g. SUBACIL-2 is a combined feed probiotic comprising metabolites of B.subtilis P-2 immobilized on sunflower meal with addition of soya flour hydrolyzate. In this study was investigated the impact of feed additives SUBACIL-1 and SUBACIL-2 for growing of broiler chickens, in accordance with the following factors: changes of body weight, average daily gain and safety of the birds. The addition SUBACIL-1 of feeding for broilers increases the productivity of poultry meat by 11%, SUBACIL-2 – 9%. The use of new additives during the growing period is accompanied by the increase in average daily gain. When using of SUBACIL-1 daily gain is by 9.7% more than that of control group and 2.4% while using of SUBACIL-2. The introduction of these additives allows gaining 90% (SUBACIL-1) and 85% (SUBACIL-2) preservation of livestock. The greatest efficiency index was 214.94.
