Objective Suicide is a significant public health issue, with South Korea having the highest suicide rate among Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development countries. This study aimed to develop clinical guidelines for suicide prevention in psychiatric patients in Korea using the ADAPTE methodology.Methods The development process involved a comprehensive review of literature, expert consultations, and consensus-building using the Nominal Group Technique and Delphi method. The guidelines focus on evidence-based psychiatric treatments, including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, tailored to the Korean context. Key findings underscoring the need for standardized treatment protocols for patients with major psychiatric disorders, including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia.Results The guidelines incorporate treatments like lithium, clozapine, atypical antipsychotics, electroconvulsive therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy, which have shown effectiveness in suicide prevention. Applicability and acceptability within Korea’s healthcare system were addressed, ensuring feasibility given the country’s medical insurance coverage and accessibility. The guidelines were validated through expert reviews and Delphi rounds, achieving consensus on the final recommendations.Conclusion The developed guidelines provide a structured, evidence-based approach to reducing suicide rates among psychiatric patients in Korea. Future research will focus on expanding these guidelines to include screening protocols for high-risk groups.

Authors: Özkurt İsmail Cem
Published: September 2024

As a result of globalization, the removal of barriers to international capital has created a source for countries in need of capital. These capital sources referred to as short-term capital movements or simply portfolio investments, provide significant benefits to the economy when they first enter the country. Investment instruments are instruments used by those who have excess capital in their hands in order to make a profit. The aim of this study is to reveal the cointegration relationships between portfolio investments and investment instruments in Türkiye. The motivation for this study is that there are few studies in the literature that examine cointegration relationships between all investment instruments and portfolio investments. The study comprises quarterly data covering the period from 2009Q1 to 2023Q2. The data has been obtained from the CBRT EVDS system. According to the results of ARDL cointegration analysis; there is a cointegration relationship between the variables both in the short and long run. According to these results, in Türkiye, investment instruments do not significantly affect portfolio investments, but portfolio investments significantly affect investment instruments.

Authors: Ağan Büşra
Published: September 2024

An accelerating global shift towards sustainable development has made the diffusion of green technologies a critical area of focus, particularly within OECD economies. This study aims to use a machine-learning approach to explore the future diffusion of green technology across OECD countries. It provides detailed forecasts from 2023 to 2037, highlighting the varying rates of green technology diffusion (GTD) among different nations. To achieve this, the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model is employed to offer new evidence on how the progress of green technology can be predicted. Based on empirical data, the study categorizes countries into high, moderate, and low GTD growth. The findings suggest that Japan, Germany, and the USA will experience significant growth in GTD, while countries like Australia, Canada, and Mexico will see moderate increases. Conversely, some nations, including Ireland and Iceland, face challenges with low or negative GTD values. The study concludes that applying this machine-learning model provides valuable insights and future predictions for policymakers aiming to enhance green technology adoption in their respective countries.

Hungarian Model of the Restructuring Process - National Report
Authors: Suri Noémi
Published: September 2024

As a result of the transposition obligation in Article 34 of Directive (EU) 2019/ 1023 of the European Parliament and of the Council on restructuring frameworks and insolvency, Act LXIV of 2021 (hereinafter - referred to as the Restructuring Act) on restructuring and the amendment of certain acts with the purpose of legal harmonisation was promulgated on 3 June 2021, effective as of of 1 July 2022 for any legal persons struggling with financial difficulties not yet insolvent. The creation of a restructuring model prescribed by the EU directive was implemented by the Hungarian legislator through the opening of a non-contentious court procedure ordered within the jurisdiction and exclusive competence of the Metropolitan Court of Budapest. The primary aim of this paper is to develop a complex and comprehensive picture of the restructuring procedure as placed within the system of insolvency and reorganisation procedures in Hungary. Firstly, the paper showcases the unified EU objectives set out by the directive within the system of European insolvency procedures. Secondly, it describes the Hungarian procedural rules and the most important related legal institutions adopted to implement these objectives. Section 6 of the Restructuring Act sets out that the aim of restructuring is to adopt and implement a restructuring plan with some or all of the creditors and thus prevent the debtor’s future insolvency and ensure the debtor’s financial viability. For the purpose of reaching this objective, therefore, restructuring constitutes measures aiming at restoring the financial balance of the debtor, including changing the composition, the conditions or the structure of the debtor’s assets and liabilities and any other part of the debtor’s capital structure. Among these measures, the Restructuring Act lists as example the sale of the debtor’s property or part thereof, or the sale of any participation in the debt. The condition for restructuring is the likelihood of the company’s insolvency. The definition of the likelihood of insolvent Directive (EU) on restructuring frameworks and insolvency, European insolvency procedures, insolvency and reorganisation procedures, restructuring plan, non-contentious court procedure bears a central significance here: it constitutes the entrance point into the restructuring procedure. In addition to the definition of insolvency, Section 2(2) of the Restructuring and Insolvency Directive renders the interpretation of the probability of insolvency into Member State jurisdiction. Among the Explanatory notes the Restructuring Act defines the likelihood of becoming insolvent as a situation in which there are reasonable grounds for believing that the debtor will be unable to meet his/her outstanding payment obligations when they fall due, unless further measures are taken.

The Principles of the Insolvency Procedure in Romania
Authors: Iancu Lavinia-Olivia
Published: September 2024

The insolvency law in Romania is one with tradition, its first form being adopted in 1995. At that time, although no principles were expressly stipulated to govern this procedure, they could somehow be deduced from the interpretation of the legal norms. The legal consecration of the principles of the insolvency procedure can only be found in Law No. 85/2014, still in force today. It should be mentioned that Law no. 216/2022 amended the legal rules regarding the principles applicable to insolvency. These principles can be summarised as follows: encouraging negotiations regarding the prevention of insolvency, maximising the debtor's wealth, enabling effective restructuring, efficiency, reasonableness in the procedure, insolvency of the creditor mass, transparency and predictability, pro rata and pari passu rules, credit risk limitation, the superpriority of financing in the procedure, a representative and fairly assumed reorganisation plan, useful and efficient capitalisation, procedural coordination in the matter of the group of companies and legality control. Keywords: Insolvency; Principles; Rules.
The History of Russian Diplomatic Opposition to NATO Expansion into the Baltics, Ukraine, and Georgia
Authors: Royce Dylan Payne
Published: September 2024

While Russia may have been less perturbed by certain other NATO expansions, and accordingly may have expressed less concern about them, it has continuously and emphatically communicated that NATO expansion to the Baltics, Ukraine, and/or Georgia would gravely impinge upon Russia’s interests, and thus that Moscow was/is strongly opposed to such expansion. These communications began in the early 1990s, but the US dismissed and rejected this opposition – in some cases, quite consciously and deliberately. Drawing on official US and Russian sources, this article demonstrates that Russia’s public stance on NATO’s Baltic/Ukrainian/Georgian expansion was/is clear – it simply was not accommodated.

Published: September 2024

Optimal health services are an absolute requirement for government administrators and private parties. Optimizing health services can be done through innovation, to bring services closer to the community, more easily accessible, higher quality and cheaper. The application of innovation is expected to make communication between medical personnel better, each individual is encouraged to work more quickly, precisely and carefully, and innovation is expected to give birth to a better work culture. The direct service to the community that is quite highlighted is health services. On this basis, we carry out service interventions in the form of workshops and mentoring for PERMATA BEKASI Hospital employees to further optimize service innovation. The workshops carried out included the latest ICF (Japan) international standard assessment system that can be applied in Indonesian health services, Optimizing Employees in preventing Musculosceletal disorder problems and Implementing and optimizing the addition of Dry needle services for Musculosceletal disorder cases. The activity was carried out on June 29 2024. Before conducting the workshop, service innovations that had been implemented were identified. As a result, the residency, which previously had been appealed to several international hospitals, including Japan and Thailand, is still in the process of standardization efforts carried out by countries whose index of health services or hospitals can be an example and motivation.

into three subgroups A, B, C for each secondary group 7 mice they were treated with aqueous  extract of A.vera at different concentrations 50, 100, 150 mg/ml on the respectively, while the second group which included 21 mice on three groups A, B, and C was treated with aqueous extract of A.vera at the previous concentrations for three consecutive days for each concentration. The third group was treated with metronidazole at a concentration of mg/ ml, and the positive control group remained infected with the parasite and was not treated. After treatment a microscopic examination was performed by evaluating the excretion average of parasite cysts using a hematocytometer slide.
There was a decrease in the shedding of fecal cysts in the groups treated with aqueous extract at different concentrations, reaching a complete stop when treating with the highest concentrations at the end of the treatment period. Where, the average of shedding of fecal parasite cysts of groups of mice at concentrations 50, 100, 150 mg/ml reached 18.20, 0.200, 0 cyst/ml respectively. while the avrage of shedding of cysts in the group treated with metronidazole reached 60.20 cyst/ml in comparison with the infected positive control group in which the number of cysts continued to increase to 14.863 cyst/ml at the end of the treatment period. The results of the therapeutic efficacy of A.vera extract showed percentages of 82%, 90%, 100% for the aqueous extract at concentrations 50, 100, 150 mg/ml, respectively, while the therapeutic efficacy of metranidazol reached 84% at the end of the treatment period
Study of Topological Spaces that Don’t Rely on Points as their Basis
Authors: Hasan Nidaa
Published: September 2024

Traditionally, the concept of points and neighborhood structures has been quite dominant in defining and further analyzing various properties in the study of topological spaces. In pointless topology-or point-free topology, also referred to as locale theory-the key emphasis is shifted from points to lattices of open sets. In addition to gaining further insight into spatial properties, this approach has important implications in fields like theoretical computer science, logic, and categorical theory. It is the purpose of the present work to be mainly interested in issues of the foundation of point-free topology: locales, frames, mutual relationships between them; the ways of interpreting classical topological concepts in the new language and the strong and weak points of such a point-free view. In the process, we focus on some of the significant applications of point-free topology, both within mathematics and beyond. The present paper is an attempt to give a broad overview of pointfree topology, discussing both its theoretical basis and its practical significance.
Crop Farmers' Enterprise Information Needs In Reality Television Show Utilization In Oyo State, Nigeria
Authors: Olajide Rasak , Opeyemi Alabi
Published: September 2024

The emerging scenario of robust Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services (AEAS) in Africa presupposes the need for Reality Television Shows (RTS) to support AEAS demand and delivery Systems. A variant of the entertainment-education (EE) genre, RTS provides an ample platform for effective AEAS. Given this, this study investigated crop farmers’ information needs in RTS utilization in Oyo State, Nigeria. A four-stage sampling procedure was used to select 140 crop farmers who own a television set randomly, while data was collected with the use of a structured questionnaire on respondents’ characteristics, perceived benefits and constraints to utilization of RTS and information needs on farmers’ crop enterprises from RTS. Data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means and PPMC at P= 0.05. Findings show that respondents were predominantly male (68.6%), married (65.7%) with tertiary education (40.0%), while mean age, farming experience and annual income were 46.10±13.395years 11.36±8.83years and N464464.29±95,805.94, respectively. The likelihood of RTS to facilitate the adoption of improved technologies (4.41±3.11) and the provision of information on key factors like marketing channels and production cost (2.73±3.11) were some of the perceived benefits by respondents. However, they had reservations about the language barrier (2.3643±4.9081) as a constraint to the maximal exploitation of the potentials of RTS. Respondents’ information need was high for irrigation system (2.61±2.54), harvesting activities (1.96±0.81), and marketing outlets (3.00±2.05), across production, harvesting and marketing information needs.  It is recommended that proposed RTS should use local language for RTS dissemination, while addressing the most pressing information needs of the crop farmers.

Published: September 2024

The use of agricultural input is significant for farm management. It would relate to productivity and efficiency. The problem is that the paddy farmers still needed to determine the appropriate agricultural input use level to achieve efficiency. This study aims to assess the efficiency of paddy farming in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This study evaluated the efficiency of paddy farming with three types: technical efficiency, allocative efficiency, and economic efficiency. A survey was conducted with 40 paddy farmers to obtain data on paddy production and agricultural input use such as seed, fertilizer, chemicals, and labor. Data envelopment analysis with an input approach was employed to analyze the data. The scores of technical efficiency, allocative efficiency, and economic efficiency were 0.935, 0.711, and 0.668, respectively. This study indicated that paddy farming in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia, was technically efficient. However, it was allocative and economically inefficient. The unachieved cost minimization was the driving factor of the allocative inefficiency. Furthermore, this study also found that the condition of paddy farming increased the return to scale (IRS). This condition implied that the paddy farmers could escalate the paddy production and achieve efficiency by improving agricultural input use. Moreover, eco-friendly agricultural input is encouraged to minimize costs to improve allocative efficiency and support sustainable agriculture. Also, the government should take some actions and policies to improve the efficiency of paddy farming in Deli Serdang.

Published: September 2024

This literature review will go through the available performance metrics to consider assessing how effective cobots applied in different sectors are. In a world where automation seems to be ever-growing and becoming increasingly successful with the implementation of more cobots in manufacturing, warehousing, and precision tasks, clarity must be brought to clear, encompassing metrics that can view both productivity and safety. This review starts with an introduction into cobots: their uniqueness and the historical context of their development. Then, based on the existing literature on productivity and safety measurement, gaps in research are identified, and industry applications reviewed. Methodologies of such an evaluation, also including both qualitative and quantitative ones, are considered. In addition, challenges of performance evaluation such as variability from industry to industry and human-related issues have been encountered as it considers future research directions. This review synthesizes the existing literature to help identify insights that would inform the effective implementation and assessment of cobots, adding value to the workplace.
Brain-based predictive modeling of mind-wandering and involuntary thought: the idiographic approach
Authors: Shareef-Trudeau Lotus , Lydon-Staley David M. , Medaglia John , Kucyi Aaron
Published: September 2024

A substantial portion of waking life consists of mental experiences that arise involuntarily, including mind-wandering, spontaneous thought and rumination. Given that these experiences are fundamental to cognitive function and mental health, there has been growing scientific and clinical interest in using measures of brain activity to model and predict the momentary occurrence of these various forms of involuntary thought. In the most common machine learning approach in neuroimaging and electrophysiology research, model training data include neural features derived from a population of individuals, and testing is performed on held-out data in one or more individuals. However, sources of idiosyncrasy, such as individual differences in the nature of thought and brain functional organization, raise critical questions regarding whether population-derived neural models can generalize to individuals. In this article, we describe how an idiographic (person-specific) approach has potential to improve theory and practice in predictive neural modeling of involuntary thought. This approach emphasizes dense-sampling of individuals so that a diverse set of brain states and mental experiences can be modeled within a single individual, and rigorous tests of cross-subject generalizability can be performed. We review the advantages and shortcomings of both nomothetic (population-based) and idiographic predictive modeling approaches, including recent insights from dense-sampling neuroimaging studies that demonstrate person-specific brain-based predictions of mind-wandering. We discuss implications for developing personalized clinical biomarkers, strategies to overcome the practical challenges of an idiographic approach, and neuroethical concerns that must be considered as person-specific models may enhance the potential for accurate brain-based predictions of involuntary thought.
A large-scale evaluation of the collaborative potential of human and machine creativity
Authors: Wang Dawei
Published: September 2024

Artificial intelligence research focuses on machine reasoning and knowledge-based problem-solving. Yet, Einstein observed that knowledge stagnates without human imagination. "Imagination,” he said, “is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” In this study, we examined whether machines can have the potential to improve innovation. We employed the Divergent Association Task (DAT), a widely-used, objective and reproducible test in psychology that measures the ability to generate solutions that diverge from known or taken-for-granted solutions. Our experiments indicated that, contrary to speculations, machines are no more creative on average than diverse human samples. Further, human creativity surpasses that of large-language model (LLM) in the right-hand tail of the distribution, indicating that humans collectively possess more creative brilliance relative to machines. When we collaborated with LLM partners by instructing LLMs to take the DAT as if they were creative geniuses like da Vinci, Curie, or Jobs, or from the perspective of different demographic groups such as a black person or a female, DAT scores significantly dropped relative to independent human or baseline LLM scores. Moreover, when we repeatedly instructed LLMs to think more creatively, machines were unintentionally and unwittingly pushed to create fake solutions that could mislead uninformed human partners. These findings were based on about 10,000 human observations from diverse international, educational, and cultural backgrounds, and close to 200,000 test results from different LLMs. The findings suggest machine creativity differs substantially from that of humans and that human-machine creative partnerships should be applied depending on the stage and context of creativity.
Posttraumatic Growth: The Role of Health and Financial Difficulties During a Pandemic
Authors: Rauvola Rachel Sisu , Rudolph Cort , Zacher Hannes
Published: September 2024

Objective. Trauma can have a range of effects on individuals over time, including the potential for positive changes in favorable outcomes commonly referred to as posttraumatic growth. The posttraumatic growth literature has been criticized for various methodological limitations and has largely neglected the exploration of factors that may strengthen or weaken posttraumatic growth trajectories. The present study contributes to this literature by investigating trajectories of five dimensions of posttraumatic growth during the COVID-19 pandemic and the moderating effects of health and financial difficulties on these trajectories. Method. Longitudinal data were collected monthly between July 2020 and December 2022 from a sample of employed adults in Germany, involving N = 1,678 participants over 30 time points (Nobservations = 29,552). Results. Results suggest that certain dimensions of posttraumatic growth showed significant increases (i.e., relationships) or decreases (i.e., spirituality, possibilities) over time, and that trajectories of three dimensions (i.e., relationships, appreciation, and strength) demonstrated distinctive patterns of interaction with health and financial difficulties. Conclusions. Findings are discussed in the context of the pandemic as well as dynamic theories of personality and identity, with implications for advancing posttraumatic growth theory and research.
Epistemic and Exegetical Analysis of the Early Writings of the Young Søren Kierkegaard. Part One: The Intellectual Environment in Golden Age Denmark (1834-1841) and the Debate on Romantic Irony
Authors: Freire Joseph Alexander
Published: September 2024

This study conducts an epistemic and exegetical analysis of the early writings of the young Søren Kierkegaard, situating them within the intellectual context of Denmark's Golden Age (1834-1841). During this period, Denmark experienced a cultural revival marked by the widespread influence of German philosophical thought, especially the ideas of Kant, Hegel, and the Romantics. The central objective of this research is to explore how the discussions on Romantic irony, subjectivism, and the cultural crisis shaped Kierkegaard's philosophical development. The analysis focuses on the main intellectual figures of the era, such as Johan Ludvig Heiberg, Hans Lassen Martensen, and Poul Martin Møller, and how their contributions influenced Kierkegaard's formative years. This work challenges the traditional view that isolates Kierkegaard from his contemporaries, proposing instead that he actively engaged with and responded to the ongoing debates of his time. By contextualizing his work within the broader cultural transformations of Denmark's Golden Age, the study aims to illuminate Kierkegaard's early philosophical positions and the origins of his concept of irony.

Since the 1980s, there has been a growing anti-vaccination movement in English-speaking Canada created by a small number of people with alternative understandings of health and medicine, and by parents who believe their children were harmed by vaccination. The anti-vaccination movement of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries was fuelled by growing concerns about environmental toxicity, skepticism about the motivations of the pharmaceutical industry, neo-liberal ideas about health that encouraged patients to take health and health care in their own hands, and the intensive parenting styles characteristic of late twentieth century Canada. To combat vaccine hesitancy, it is vital to understand the arguments of those opposed to vaccination, which are often far more complex and nuanced than the pro-side would like to admit.

One of the ways of observing celestial stars aims to orientate in space, based on the cardinal points. In fieldwork in Geology, Geography, Cartography and related sciences, this observation helps to determine the directions and directions of the segments N-S (North/South) and L-W (East/West), through the visualization of the setting or rising of the Sun. This teaching, including illustration, is widely disseminated in textbooks from Elementary School, through High School and extending into Higher Education in the courses mentioned above.

In the article the mechanisms of melatonin action in the human body, exploring its impact on circadian rhythms, sleep, the immune system, and overall physiological function were considered. A focal point is the use of melatonin as a pharmacological tool to address dyssynchrony, particularly in students facing new time zones or geographic latitude changes. The study aims to understand melatonin's potential influence on regulating biological rhythms and the general physiological state in such scenarios. It scrutinizes how melatonin affects circadian rhythms, sleep, activity, and overall physiological balance during disruptions in biorhythmic synchronization. Recent studies were analyzed, revealing promising prospects for melatonin in regulating desynchronization and maintaining human health amid altered biological rhythms. Findings indicated that students in the experimental group, who took melatonin, experienced enhanced academic performance, increased work capacity, and improved mood. That underscored melatonin's positive impact on the functional state of the human body, even in the presence of desynchronosis. A study involving 100 students identified changes in circadian rhythms contributing to seasonal depression, with daily melatonin tablets proving effective in alleviating desynchronization symptoms. The article furnishes vital scientific data and practical recommendations, catering to professionals in biomedicine, biology, and pharmacology, as well as individuals keen on understanding human health and biological rhythms.

Research on the search for antibiotic-resistant strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms inpoultry products is an urgent and important topic in modern medicine and the food industry. Antibiotics arewidely used in poultry farming for the prevention and treatment of infections, but this also contributes to thedevelopment of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms. The purpose of this study is to identify and assess thelevel of antibiotic resistance of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria present in meat and poultryderivedproducts. The methods include analyzing food samples, namely chicken fillets and chicken eggs, forthe presence and identification of resistant strains, as well as testing their sensitivity to various antibiotics.During the study, it was found that 19.05 % of Gram-positive strains and 26.09 % of Gram-negative strainsisolated from farm products exhibit resistance or multi-resistance properties. At the same time, 58.28 % ofGram-positive and 59.42 % of Gram-negative microorganisms also exhibit resistance or multi-resistanceproperties.

In the article the results of experiments to study the effect of bubbling on the germination of Sudan grass seeds before and after cryopreservation were presented. The obtained statistical data were processed using the R-studio program. We calculated the indicators of humidity and germination energy of Sudan grass seeds, and determined the statistically reliable significance between the control and experimental varieties. To conduct the experiment, a bubbler installation was created from a cylindrical container filled with water and a bubbler to supply oxygen. The results of pre-sowing seed treatment were obtained for 4 varieties of Sudan grass: Nika, Tugai, Alina, Novosibirskaya 84. Bubbling increases seed germination compared to the control by 13 % for the Nika variety, by 7 % for the Novosibirskaya 84 variety. While bubbling after cryopreservation significantly reduces the germination of seeds in the Tugai variety by 25 %, in the Alina variety by 32 %, in the Novosibirskaya 84 variety by 33 %, and in the Nika variety by 7 %. Thus, bubbling, in general, had a positive effect on the germination of Sudan grass seeds and may be one of the methods of pre-sowing seed treatment. As a recommendation for improving the germination of Sudan grass seeds, we suggest using bubbling without cryopreservation.

In the article the features of the morphological and anatomical structure of leaf blades in the process of ontogenesis of Rhaponticum serratuloides Georgi (Bobr.) during juvenile, immature, virginal, generative and senile age states were presented. It was noted that as the plant matures, the degree of dissection and linear dimensions of the leaf blades, as well as their vascular bundles and trichomes, increase. It was established that in the juvenile and immature periods of development whole and elliptical leaves predominate. In the virginal state, in addition to the typical entire leaves, leaves with an unpaired pinnate leaf blade appear. The generative state of Rh. serratuloides is characterized by having upper leaves as entire, sessile; the lower ones are petiolate, pinnately lobed with a large apical lobe. In the senile state, leaves of immature and virginal types are found. General patterns of leaf internal structure of Rh. serratuloides and another representative of the same genus Rh.carthamoides Willd (Iljin) were revealed as following: the plants are of dorsal-ventral type of leaf blade structure, with collateral vascular bundles of a closed type with a sclerenchyma covering and leaf pubescence. Along with this, characteristic diagnostic features for leaves of Rh. serratuloides were described as the following: the absence of capitate glands and long cord-like hairs during all age states, the presence of air-bearing cavities in the parenchyma of virginal and senile plants, associated with the habitat of the plant under study, because it grows in flooded meadows, along the shores of lakes and swamps.

The subject matter of the study is soil microbiota of southern carbonate chernozem and particulars of formation thereof under organic and traditional methods of wheat growing under conditions of Northern Kazakhstan. It has been found that soil microbiota varies with arable farming systems. Application of leguminous and cereal above-ground biomass as organic fertilizers contributed to higher numbers of immobilizers that were twice as high as traditional farming variants. When applied as green manure, sweet clover above-ground biomass increased the number of ammonifying soil organisms (up to 6 million CFU/g a.d.s.), while bromegrass biomass increased the number of immobilizers (83.0 million CFU/g a.d.s.) and fungi (8,0 thousand CFU/g a.d.s.). Cellulose-destroying microorganisms were actively propagating in wheat crops (65.0 CFU/g a.d.s.) where wheatgrass biomass was applied as green manure, while sweet clover biomass, on the contrary, contributed to decrease thereof. Under traditional farming conditions, the introduction of ammonium nitrate into rows when planting crops at a dose of N80 stimulated the development of cellulolytic microorganisms and inhibited the development of ammonifying fungi and bacteria. Ammonifiers and immobilizers were actively propagating with reserve application of ammophos in the fallow at the rate of P40.
