The purpose of the research is to evaluate the constructive and kinematic parameters of the mechanism of regulation of the working parts of a combined cultivator from the operating conditions, which provides the necessary impact on the object of processing – the soil. Modern problems of the agro-industrial complex pose to scientists the creation of new tillage machines based on the use of achievements in the field of information and switching, geoinformation and computer technologies that can increase productivity, reduce energy and labor costs in obtaining agricultural prod-ucts. There is an urgent need to develop combined cultivators capable of forming a seedbed in one pass in accord-ance with agrotechnical requirements, as well as with the possibility of changing technological parameters depending on the state of the soil and the biological characteristics of the cultivated crop. We have proposed the design of an adaptive combined cultivator with a mechanism for regulating the stiffness of the roller suspension and determined the theoretical dependencies characterizing its design and operating parameters based on the provisions of classical mechanics and the laws of mathematics. The required force of the spring control mechanism has been determined to ensure the required roller pressure. From the equilibrium condition of the roller, taking into account the impact of forc-es and moments from the soil on the roller, its parameters are determined, which ensure its operability. The conduct-ed experimental studies have shown that in the range of working depth of cultivation and soil density, the indicator of soil quality is within the limits of agrotechnical requirements and amounts to 83...89%. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of processing, it is necessary to use adaptive combined machines and units capable of adapting to any soil conditions.

The material for the study was Holstein cows diag-nosed with catarrhal endometritis on the 3rd -6th day after delivery in the amount of 30 heads, which were divided into three groups of 10 heads each, observing the principle of similarity. For the treatment of acute postpartum catarrhal endometritis of cows, the drug Oxylate was used, which was injected into the area of sciatico-rectal pits with an inter-val of 24 hours before recovery. The drug Oxylate was administered based on 1 kilogram of live weight of cows. Ox-ylate was administered to the first experimental group of cows at a dose of 0.02 ml, to the second experimental group – 0.03 ml and to the third experimental group of cows – 0.04 ml. In the animals of the studied groups, blood was tak-en from the caudal vein using vacuum disposable tubes in the morning hours before feeding. Blood was taken before the start of therapy and after the end of the course of treatment. As a result of the conducted studies, it was found that a dose of 0.03 ml of the drug «Oxylate» per 1 kg of live weight increases the redox reactions in the body of cows and their immunological status, which is confirmed by an increase in the blood content of erythrocytes by 0.60×1012/l, hemoglobin by 18.58 g/l, platelets by 80.74×109/l, segmented neutrophils by 10.94% compared with blood values in animals of the first group. There were no significant differences between the blood parameters of cows when using the drug Oxylate of the second and third groups. The obtained results of the morphological composition of the blood can serve as a criterion for the development of an algorithm for the prevention and treatment of postpartum diseases of cows.

This research aims to examine the concept of Ulil Amri as described in the Quran and Sunnah, and how obedience to Ulil Amri is applied in the context of nationhood, particularly within modern political systems. The research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, focusing on the interpretation of religious texts and related literature. Primary data sources include the Quran, Hadith, and the commentaries of classical and contemporary scholars, such as Ibn Qayyim, Al-Tabari, and Yusuf Al-Qaradawi. The main findings indicate that obedience to Ulil Amri has clear limitations, particularly when leaders do not govern in accordance with Islamic law. Additionally, the concept of Ulil Amri faces challenges in the modern era, especially in countries that do not fully implement Sharia law. The role of scholars in ensuring that leaders' policies remain aligned with Islamic values has become increasingly significant. The research concludes that obedience to Ulil Amri remains relevant; however, Muslims must balance this obedience with constructive criticism through the principle of Amar Ma’ruf Nahi Munkar when necessary. Consequently, this study suggests that the concept of Ulil Amri in Islam can be dynamically applied within the framework of modern governance.

The SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis is widely known and commonly applied in business strategy. CV Dejeefish was chosen for this SWOT analysis to help develop the company’s business strategy. The objective of this study is to identify the impact of SWOT analysis on business development and to uncover weaknesses, obstacles, and areas for improvement that could enhance the company’s efficiency, quality, and sustainability. The findings indicate that CV Dejeefish is in a relatively strong position, with more strengths than weaknesses and threats. However, CV Dejeefish still needs to implement a combination of SWOT-based business strategies and a SWOT Matrix. Firstly, in the SO (Strengths-Opportunities) strategy, the company can leverage high-quality broodstock from BBAT to expand its market, adopt the latest technology in aquaculture, and develop value-added products. Secondly, in the WO (Weaknesses-Opportunities) strategy, expanding the use of aquaculture technology and improving responsiveness to climate change and market conditions is strongly recommended. For the ST (Strengths-Threats) strategy, a focus on strict quality control, risk mitigation, and maintaining adequate capital reserves is necessary to address potential threats. Lastly, the WT (Weaknesses-Threats) strategy should involve implementing effective monitoring systems, building strong relationships with stakeholders, and conducting regular evaluations.

E-commerce represents the largest sector within Indonesia's digital economy, with a Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of USD 62 billion in 2023, projected to grow to USD 82 billion by 2025. However, amidst this rapid growth, the practice of deceptive discounts—manipulating prices to create the illusion of significant price cuts—frequently occurs, causing harm to consumers. Such practices are inherently at odds with the principles of honesty and fairness in Islamic economics. This study examines the role of hisbah in monitoring and preventing deceptive discount practices in e-commerce. The primary objective of this research is to propose solutions to address the prevalence of deceptive discount practices on e-commerce platforms. The study employs a qualitative approach through library research. Data were gathered from primary and secondary literature, including books, journal articles, regulations, and related documents. The analytical method used is descriptive-analytical, aimed at understanding the relevance and application of hisbah principles in the oversight of e-commerce. The findings reveal that hisbah can complement existing regulations by emphasizing moral supervision, social sanctions, consumer education, and policy advocacy grounded in Islamic values. The implementation of hisbah not only ensures transactional integrity but also fosters an e-commerce ecosystem that is fair, transparent, and aligned with Sharia principles.
