The Vitazar preparation has a rich natural composition and antioxidant properties due to the high content of fat-soluble vitamins – A, D, E, polyunsaturated fatty acids – linoleic, linolenic, oleic, palmitic, as well as trace elements Ca and K, etc. To study the preparation effects on young male minks, animals of the standard black breed of Scandinavian selection were chosen by origin, live weight and age using the method of analogous groups. A total of 128 males participated in the experiment – 32 heads in each group. The first group of minks was the control one. In three experimental groups, Vitazar was added to the general household ration with a different dose of 1.0.2.0.3.0 ml/head with a frequency of three times a week. The preparation was given during two summer months – July and August. During the experiment, the minks were weighed at the beginning of each month. After slaughter and primary processing, the skins were sorted in accordance with GOST 27769–88.According to the data obtained, Vitazar has a positive effect on the live weight and skin production of young minks. The drug in the diet of males at a dose of 3.0 ml/head contributes to an increase in live weight by 191 g, the skin size by 0.6 dm2, the proportion of defect-free skins by 8.0% and the quality indicators by 4.0%. The optimal dose of the preparation was found to be 3.0 ml/head.The use of Vitazar in the optimal dose in the diet of male minks increased the cost of one skin by 63.3 rubles. Thу “Vitazar” preparation was studied on young minks for the first time.

The purpose of this work was to establish the features of growth, appearance, and feed costs as related to the increase in live weight in Aberdeen-Angus calves obtained from bulls of different body types. To conduct the experiment in the company LLC “Hammer” of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, 14 calf bulls were selected in each group from the offspring of 4 large calf bulls and 3 small calf bulls of the Aberdeen-Angus breed. The fathers of the first group of young calf bulls had a higher level of live weight as compared to the fathers of the second group of calf bulls (by 80 kg). Their differed from their counterparts as being high-legged, less broad-bodied and having different massive characteristics. The mothers of the calf bulls of the first group also had a higher live weight (by 49 kg) as compared to the mothers of the calf bulls of the second group. The differences in constitution between them were nsignificant. The results of research on intensive rearing of different types from weaning to 18 months of age showed that calves originating from large-type bulls surpassed their counterparts obtained from the bulls of a small type of meat productivity. This distinction is primarily expressed in a greater growth rate and better feed gain in live weight. At the age of 18, calа bulls from large-type parents reached a mass of 442 kg, and those obtained from the small-type ones – 413 kg. These differences are statistically significant (P > 0.99) for the period from weaning to one and a half years of age. Calа bulls originating from large-type bulls spent 8.1 ECU per 1 kg of gain, and those originating from small-type bulls – 8.4 ECU.

Currently, marker genes are often used in dairy cattle breeding. Scientists are studying the relationship of gene polymorphism with such economically useful traits as milk productivity, productive longevity, growth, development, etc. The short period of the economic use of cows and the late intake of live weight necessary for insemination cause economic losses to agricultural organizations. The goal of the research was to study the relationship of the polymorphism of the somatotropin gene with live weight during the first insemination and productive longevity of cows. The study was conducted in the Sverdlovsk region on cattle of Holstein Black-Motley breed in 2018–2019. Two samples were formed: heifers and retired cows genotyped by the somatotropin gene. In animals, LV-somatotropin gene polymorphism was determined. The determination of polymorphism included the following steps: DNA isolation, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction enzyme production, restriction products run on an agarose gel, visualization using a transilluminator. The research results were processed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23 software,and the reliability criterion was analyzed. LV-polymorphism is represented by three genotypes: LL,LV and VV. The authors studied the frequency of genotypes in the population of holsteinized cattle. It was revealed that the LL genotype is widely represented in the population – 77.2%, animals with the LV genotype are found more rarely – 22.2%. The VV genotype is extremely rare in the population – 0.6%. It was also revealed that the L allele is a common population allele – 88.3%. In the course of studying the relationship of LV polymorphism with live weight during the first insemination, it was found that animals with the LL genotype grow faster and reach the live weight necessary for fruitful insemination earlier. At the same age, heifers with the LV genotype had a mass of 400 kg, with those with the LL genotype – 9 kg more at p ≤ 0.01. When studying the effect of somatotropin gene genotypes on productive longevity, it was found that cows with the LV genotype have a longer economic use. The difference with peers with the LL genotype was 0.5 lactations at p ≤ 0.05. As a result of the studies, it can be concluded that the LL and LV genotypes are the desired option for the holsteinized cattle population. The LL genotype is associated with growth and development, and LV – with productive longevity.

“IT IS NOT AN IMPROBABLE FICTION, BUT TRUE”. ON THE QUESTION OF THE RELIABILITY OF THE LEGEND
Authors:   Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University, Lipatova Antonina P.
Published: September 2021

This article attempts to define an “inconvenient” genre of legend. The author believes that the perception of reality is possible only through a certain genre. A legend has its own inherent ways and means of seeing and understanding reality, and is always a true story about an improbable event. The formula of the “legendary genre” is “incredible, but a fact”; the reliability of a legend can be described by the formula “– probability, + truth”. That is the source for the great potential of the legend: it does not only inform about the event, but furthermore, it is designed to construct the reality, raise or lower the status of an object (thing, locus, person). A fantastic event plunges a person into a state of mental discomfort, which one does not want to overcome. A legend remains a legend as long as the person experiences such cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance generates the narrator’s “hesitation” (Tz. Todorov), which, in turn, is an essential characteristic of the nature of legendary texts. Signs of hesitation and doubts of the narrator always penetrate the text of the legend: it is equipped not only with the truth markers, but also with those of the improbability. Narrator’s hesitation is conveyed to the listener. That is the key to preserving the legend in time.

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary tumor of theliver, which develops in the setting of chronic liver disease, particularly in patients with chronichepatitis B and C in almost 80% patients. Although there are no specific screening tests fordiagnosis of HCC but alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and abdominal ultrasound are commonly used.AFP >400 ng/ml is considered diagnostic for HCC. Objective: The objective of study wasto validate the use of alphafetoprotein as screening test for HCC due to chronic HCV. StudyDesign: Observational cross-sectional. Period: March 2014 to August 2016. Setting: AzizBhatti Shaheed Teaching Hospital Gujrat. Materials and Methods: 134 patients aged >35years having liver cirrhosis due to chronic HCV and diagnosed with HCC using biphasic CTscan were included and were followed for 1 year. Serum AFP was divided in 3 categories anda value < 20ng/ml - normal, 20-399 ng/ml - elevated and >400ng/ml - diagnostic of HCC.Liver nodules size and site was noted and divided in 4 categories. Severity of liver diseasewas calculated using Child Pugh Score. Analysis was done using SPSS 20.0. Results: AFP isdiagnostic (>400 ng/ml) in only 29.9% of patients with sensitivity of 43.3% at cut off value of400 ng/ml and is significantly associated with severity of liver disease. Conclusion: AFP cannotbe used as screening test for HCC in patients with cirrhosis due to chronic HCV. Abdominalultrasound should be used for early detection of HCC due to chronic hepatitis C.

Background: The treatment cost of community acquired pneumonia in Pakistanis a heavy economic burden for the society. Objectives: To assess the component of directcost (ward cost, medication cost, laboratory and diagnosis cost and the length of stay cost) oftreatment of community acquired pneumonia patients admitted in hospital ward. Study Design:Prospective study. Period: 15 months. Setting: Three private hospitals among these hospitalsone of the hospital was a tertiary care university hospital situated in Karachi. Method: The studyenrolled 514 patients and the patients were included from three private hospitals. Spearmancorrelation statistical tool was used to determine the correlation among variables Whitney U testwas used to determine the cost in different groups. Results: A total of 514 cases were examined322 cases were male and 192 cases were females. The CAP cases were mostly prevalentin patients with the age between 1-5 years (192), in male, low socioeconomic status and inunmarried patients. The mean length of hospital stay was 5.31days found in patients admittedin the hospitals due to CAP. In this study the median medication cost of CAP per episode oftreatment was Rs 2423($24.25), median laboratory diagnosis cost was found Rs 1310($13.11),median length of stay in hospital cost was found Rs 5700($57.04) and the median total costof treatment was found Rs 9889($98.96). Conclusion: length of stay, laboratory diagnosisand the medication cost were the main components of direct cost of treatment of hospitalizedcap patients. Age, comorbidity, PSI, laboratory diagnosis and length of stay was positivelycorrelated with the direct cost of treatment of CAP. Gender difference was not correlated withthe direct cost of treatment of CAP. The direct cost, drug cost, hospital stay cost increases asthe pneumonia severity index increases, but in case of laboratory diagnosis cost is initially lessin PSI I and increases in the PSI class II but remain same from PSI III to PSI V.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Music Education Technology, Yoon Sungwon
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this study is to develop a model for music making lessons in the music subject. As the theoretical background of the study, music making class, high technology tools, and the TMSI model of maker education were reviewed. Based on this, a model for music making lessons in the music subject was developed as the result of the study as follows: first, the premise to develop a model for music making lessons; second, the EINC routine of the music making class; and third, the model for music making lessons and a step-by-step teaching and learning method. The EINC routine of the music making class consists of the process of exploration, imitation, naturalization, and creation. The steps for the model for music making lessons include tinkering, making, sharing, and improving. In addition, the teaching and learning method was described in detail by step by step for preparation before lessons, cleaning up after lessons, and during lessons. The model is expected to help improve music-making lessons. As the step-by-step teaching and learning method was described in the background of present and here, it may contain practical value. However, for this model to be applied to the ground stably and lead the lessons successfully, teachers need to make an effort. Accordingly, the following is suggested: First, teachers are required to provide students with listening (inner hearing or audiation developed in any type). Second, teachers need to manage the maker space environment so that students can utilize listening and high technology tools smoothly in each step of the lessons. Third, teachers need to record the music making activity of students as they go through the steps and process and continuously teach them sharing and opening so that they can give mutual feedback.

Chinese and Japanese Characters from the Perspective of Multimodal Studies
Authors: Kirnosova Nadiia , Fedotova Yuliia
Published: September 2021

This article aims to demonstrate that a character can generate at least three different modalities simultaneously – visual, audial and vestibular — and influence a recipient in a deeper and more powerful way (than a sign from a phonetic alphabet). To show this, we chose modern Chinese and Japanese characters as live signs, and analyzed them functioning in texts with obvious utilitarian purposes – in advertisements. The main problem we were interested in during conducting this research was the “information capacity” of a character. We find out that any character exists in three dimensions simultaneously and generates three modalities at the same time. Its correspondence with morphemes opens two channels for encoding information – first of all, it brings a space for audial modality through the acoustic form of a syllable, and then it opens a space for visual modality through the graphical form of a character. The latter form implies a space for vestibular modality, because as a “figure,” any character occupies its “ground” (a particular square area), which becomes a source of a sense of stability and symmetry, enriching linguistic messages with non-verbal information. Keywords: advertisement, character, information, mode, multimodality
FINE GRIT TREATMENT OF RANGY PLATES
Authors: Scriabin Vladimir
Published: September 2021

The features of the final machining of thin-walled plates are given. The calculation scheme for the kinematic parameters of abrasive finishing of thin-walled easily deformable plates and the mathematical dependence for calculating the pressure on the lapping faceplates with the processed parts are determined. The aim of the work is to obtain an analytical dependence that establishes the relationship between the operating parameters and the conditions of the abrasive finishing process with the roughness of the working surface of the plates. The task, which the article is devoted to solve is theoretical and experimental studies of the influence of technological modes and conditions of abrasive finishing of plates with complex relative movement of parts and lapping on the roughness of the treated surfaces, as well as in the development of a methodology for determining rational modes and conditions of surface treatment of thin-walled plates. Theoretical research was carried out on the basis of the main provisions of mechanical engineering technology, grinding theory, theoretical mechanics, theory of elasticity and plasticity, probability theory and mathematical statistics. Experimental studies have been carried out according to standard methods in production and laboratory conditions using certified control and measuring equipment. The obtained data were processed using computer technology and presented in the form of empirical dependencies that are convenient for practical application.

The originality of the work consists in obtaining mathematical dependencies for calculating the kinematic parameters and parameters of the contact interaction of abrasive particles with the treated surfaces of the plates, which allow determining the rational values of the ratio of the speeds of movement of the plates and lapping.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE EFFICIENCY OF DUPLICATES AT A MOTOR TRANSPORT ENTERPRISE IF AN INSURANCE RESERVE IS AVAILABLE
Authors: Bulatov Sergey
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this article is to develop a model for managing duplicates at a motor transport if there is an insurance reserve. The task is to minimize the total costs (losses) at the motor transport enterprise. For an optimal model of duplicates management, regardless of the supplier and the time of delivery, the insurance stock in the warehouses of motor transport enterprises will satisfy the demand for spare parts necessary for rolling stock. Also, taking into account the determination of the optimal size of duplicates, the prediction of sudden failures, as well as statistics maintained in the Procurement service of motor transport enterprises, the volume and frequency of orders for duplicates become known. Determining the size of duplicates batch of various classification and quality allows the MTS (material and technical support) services of motor transport enterprises to ensure not only an uninterrupted transport process, but increase the coefficient of technical readiness and save on previously unclaimed stocks (surpluses) ensuring the effective distribution of financial resources. Further research in this area will be aimed at determining duplicates quality, supplied to the motor transport enterprise and developing methods for assessing the risk of the impact of defects in spare parts on failures and further consequences.
Turnout for What? Do Colleges Prepare Informed Voters?
Authors: Fernandez Frank
Published: September 2021

One of the traditional aims of higher education is to prepare informed citizens who are civically engaged. Although many voters are underinformed, there are multiple social benefits to having an informed electorate. Therefore, colleges should aspire to not only increase student voter turnout but to prepare informed voters. In this article, I use matching procedures to account for precollege civic engagement and estimate treatment effects of taking at least one community college course. I find that taking political science influences college student voter registration, voter turnout, and ability to correctly answer questions about the roles of U.S. political institutions.

Published: September 2021

The literature on science discourse in K–12 classrooms in the United States has proliferated over the past couple of decades, crossing geographical, disciplinary, theoretical, and methodological boundaries. There is general consensus that science talk is at the core of students’ learning; however, a synthesis of key findings from the expansive literature base is needed. This systematic literature review is guided by a complex systems framework to organize and synthesize empirical studies of science talk in urban classrooms across individual (student or teacher), collective (interpersonal), and contextual (sociocultural, historical) planes. Findings are discussed in relation to contemporary approaches that integrate theories and methodologies to account for the complex phenomena of science discourse, including interacting elements across levels as well as stable and changing patterns that influence students’ access to, and nature of, science talk in urban classrooms. Unresolved questions related to high-leverage, equitable, and sustainable discourse practices; future lines of inquiry that can benefit by drawing from diverse theoretical traditions and mixed methodological approaches; and practical implications for classroom-based strategies to support science discourse are also discussed.
Hakikat Sonrası Dönemde Hakikati Sorgulatan Bir Sinema Türü: Sahte-Belgesel
Authors: EĞİTİMCİ Umut T.
Published: September 2021

Bu çalışma, içinde bulunduğumuz ve hakikat sonrası olarak tanımlanan bu dönemde, kurmaca ve belgesel tür özelliklerinin her ikisini de kapsayan sahte-belgesel film türünün, izleyicinin şüphe duymasını sağlayarak hakikati sorgulamaya teşvik etmesine değinmektedir. Bu çerçevede öncelikle hakikat sonrası olarak adlandırılan çağın tanımı ortaya konulmuştur. Ardından sinemada gerçeklik ve hakikatle bağlantı konularına açıklık getirilmeye çalışılmış ve kurgusal olayları belgesel formatında sunan bir sinema türü olarak sahte-belgeselin tanımı yapılmıştır. Çağın problemi olan hakikati sorgulamama ve şüpheden uzak kalma yaklaşımının tersine, sahte-belgeselin sinemada gerçeklik konusunda şüphe uyandırarak sorgulamaya teşvik etmesi ve gerçek olmayanın gerçekmiş gibi anlatılmasından dolayı izleyicide oluşturduğu algıya değinilmiştir. Özellikle görsel medyanın manipülatif kullanımıyla izleyici algısı kolaylıkla değiştirilebilirken medyanın gerçekleri anlatma gibi bir derdi olmalı mı tartışmaları, eleştirel bakış açısının gerekliliğine dikkat çekmektedir. Bu bağlamda sahte-belgeselin kurmacalığını saklayan yapısıyla düşündürme etkisi vurgulanmıştır. Gerçekliği sorgulanan bir tür olarak sahte-belgeselin, hakikat sonrası çağının izleyicisini gerçekliği sorgulamaya davet eden özelliği itibariyle eleştirel bakış açısı kazanılmasında önemli bir rol oynayabileceğine ve izleyicinin hakikatle arasındaki bağda bir köprü rolü oynayabileceğine dikkat çekilmiştir.
