The Origins of the Category of prichastodetie (Gerundivum) in the Slavonic Grammar of Meletius Smotritsky (1619–1648)
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Vlasov Sergei , Demidov Dmitrii ,   National Chengchi University
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to determine the status of the category of “prichastodetie” (Gerundivum) proposed by M. Smotritsky in his “Slavonic Grammar” relying on both the data of the history of linguistic theories and the data of the historical grammar of the Russian literary language. For this purpose, the grammars and the elements of their content which served as sources of Smotritsky's Grammar are identified, the real linguistic basis of the description of the Slavonic “gerundives” is determined; the most acceptable hypothesis of the formation of the complex simplified suffix -tel’n- is developed; the formation of verbal derivatives in -tel’n- is shown. Of the three types of meaning of the formations with the suffix -teln, identified by V. V. Vinogradov, in texts the most productive is not the passive, but the active type of meaning, the relative type retains better than the others close links with the verb and prevents the passage of Slavonic “gerundives” to the rank of qualitative adjectives. Lexicography describes lexicalized cases and obscures the primary meaning of the prichastodeties, which coincides with the meaning of the verb from which they are derived. Genetically, the initial morphological form of the prichastodetie is the form in -tel’no, from which the pronominal forms of the prichastodetie are formed, capable of passing into qualitative adjectives in -tel’nyi, and it itself gravitates towards the category of state and the attributive adverb, but does not merge with it as long as it continues to express a secondary verb action. The growth of prichastodeties occurs since the 14th century to our time, first in church texts and translations, then in original secular texts. Best of all the prichastodetie is represented in the “Hellenic-Slavonic” style. Smotritsky can rightfully be called the main figure in the prehistory of the discovery of the category of state in the twentieth century.
Proto-Slavic *čelnъ: Semantics and Etymology
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Saenko Mikhail
Published: December 2023

The article attempts to reconstruct the semantics of the Proto-Slavic word *čelnъ, as well as its diminutive form *čelnъkъ. Based on extensive historical and dialectal material, the author draws the conclusion that the initial meanings of the word were ‘joint’, ‘a joint of the finger’ and ‘a node of the stem’. It is demonstrated that *čelnъ belonged to the *-u-declination and was a derivative with *-nu-. As the suffix *-nu- formed deverbatives, *čelnъ should also be considered a noun formed from a verb. The most probable underlying verb is *kwelh1- ‘to turn’.
Phrase Prosody of Two Eastern Middle-Russian Dialects
Authors:   Vinogradov Russian Language Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Knyazev Sergey , Dyachenko Svetlana ,   Vinogradov Russian Language Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2023

This paper deals with the phrase intonation of two neighboring Eastern Middle-Russian dialects with okan’je and akan’je spoken in Melenki and Gus’-Khrustal’ny districts of Vladimir region. The study, based on the material of dialectal speech recordings made in the 2008 and 2009 (nine speakers born in 1914–1940, total duration — 19 hours), reveals that the prosodic system of these dialects is relatively similar to that one of the Modern Standard Russian, sharing with it most pitch accents (L*, H*+L, L*+H) and association of tonal structures with the basic communicative categories — statements, yes-no questions, wh-question, non-finality, commands and requests. The main distinctive properties of the Vladimir dialect as compared to Standard Russian are: 1) phonological distinction between two rising pitch accents — L*+H and L+H*; 2) probable H* pitch accents in dialects with akan’je; 3) “falling set-up” on pretonic syllable for rising pitch accents; 4) earlier timing of rising L*+H and falling H*+L pitch accents; 5) phonological distinction between two initial boundary tones — %L and %H; 6) the wide distribution of falling final boundary tone HL%; 7) some traces of ‘word-to-word’ tonal prominence. Meanwhile, the difference between the two Vladimir dialects themselves is not that noticeable and lies in the domain of phonetic realization and the degree of manifestation of particular elements of prosodic structure, as well as in the degree of their prevalence rather than in the set of prosodic units.
Mutabilities of the Verb byt’ ‘to be’ in the Language of Olonets Lamentations
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Tolstaya Svetlana
Published: December 2023

The article examines the forms of the verb byt’ ‘to be’ in the language of Olonets lamentations, which in their meanings and functions differ from the standard uses of the all-Russian (literary and dialect) language. The forms of the present (e, est’ ‘is’, net, netu ‘is not’), past (by, bylo ‘was’) and future (budu/budet ‘will be’) and their derivatives appear in various constructions (in combination with personal verb forms, participle, infinitive, imperative) in the function of particles, as a rule, with a modal meaning. Some of such non-standard constructions are fixed in the oldest written texts of the north-western area of the Russian language, presenting a mixed Church Slavonic-Russian (hybrid) type of Russian language.

The paper explores the possibilities of using information technologies based on the principles of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the process of digitizing Cyrillic manuscripts for the purposes of creating a historical dictionary of the Serbian language. Empirical research is based on the use of the Transkribus software platform in the creation of a model for automatic text recognition of the manuscripts by Gavril Stefanović Venclović, the most significant and prolific Serbian cultural enthusiast of the 18th century, whose extensive manuscript legacy in Serbian vernacular represents the most significant primary source for the historical dictionary of the Serbian language of this period. Following the results of conducted research, it can be concluded that the process of digitizing Cyrillic manuscripts for the purposes of creating a historical dictionary of the Serbian language can be significantly accelerated using Transkribus by creating specific and generic models for automatic text recognition. The advantage of automatic text recognition compared to the traditional methods is particularly reflected in the possibility of continuous improvement of the performance of specific and generic models in accordance with the progress of the transcription process and the increase in the amount of digitized text that can be used to train a new version of the model.

Questioning the effectiveness of vaping on smoking cessation success among young people: re-analysis of the 2019 Australian National Drug Strategy Household Survey
Authors: Teo Shu Mei , Browne Vivienne , Brown Ellie , Gan Daniel ZQ , Gao Caroline X.
Published: December 2023

AimsWe critically reexplored a recent claim that smoking cessation success rates were higher among people who used e-cigarettes. In particular, we investigated the consistency of this effect among different age groups. In addition, we explored the relationships between vaping, smoking cessation and youth mental health. Methods Cross-sectional analyses of data from the 2013, 2016, and 2019 Australian National Drug Strategy Household Surveys were undertaken. A successful smoking cessation attempt was defined as having abstained from smoking for at least one month over the past year. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) was used to measure psychological distress. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine interactions between age and use of e-cigarettes on smoking cessation and youth mental health, adjusting for demographic factors. Results The previous observation that a higher percentage of people quit smoking using e-cigarettes (than without e-cigarettes) was only observed in adults, but not among youth aged 14-25. Moreover, among those that quit smoking using e-cigarettes, a large majority were currently vaping. Youths had the highest rates of mental ill-health and the highest rates of ever-vaping. Discussion & Conclusions Vaping rates are rising rapidly, especially among youths. Given the physical health effects of vaping and its association with higher mental health, we propose a precautionary approach when assessing the complex relationships between vaping and smoking cessation. E-cigarettes as an aid for smoking cessation should only be used when medically prescribed, under close supervision, and only when all other safer smoking cessation aids have been exhausted.
Individual differences in rhythm skills relate to developmental language disorder in adults
Authors: Kim Hyun-Woong , Shah Arshiya , Lim Sung-Joo , Lee Yune
Published: December 2023

Purpose: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) often exhibit difficulties in rhythm tasks. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether this relation persists into adulthood by examining various rhythm skills in an adult population.Method: We assessed rhythm skills of 97 English-speaking young adults (aged 18-28 years) using musical rhythm discrimination, spontaneous (i.e., self-paced) finger tapping, and auditory beat synchronization tapping tasks. We estimated individuals’ DLD profile using a diagnostic test for adults with the DLD score being treated as a continuous variable. In addition, we measured verbal working memory using a letter-number span test. Results: We found that performance on all rhythm tasks was negatively correlated with the likelihood of having impaired language. After verbal working memory being controlled, spontaneous tapping consistency, but not the other two, remained as a significant predictor for the DLD likelihood. Conclusions: This study provides preliminary evidence of deficient rhythm processing in adults with DLD. In particular, our data may suggest the role of intrinsic rhythm processes in language development.

Иерусалим как город мировой литературы: Борхес и Зингер
Authors: Surin Aleksey
Published: December 2023

В статье проводится сравнительный анализ между романом русско-китайского происхождения Некода Зингера "Черновики Иерусалима" (2013) и рассказ классомика латиноамериканской литературы Хорхе Луиса Борхеса "Вавилонская библиотека" (1941). Создавая свою тягу-вселенную Зингер, на первый взгляд, помогает воспроизвести "Вавилонскую тягу" Борхеса, однако более пристальный взгляд на текст Зингера показывает, что он не следует за аргентинским писателем, а противостоит ему. Иерусалим Зингера, концентрирующий в себе недописанные или утраченные тексты мировой литературы, оказывается антиподомальностью тотальной Вавилоны в его устремленности абсолютно кй законченности, всепоглощаемости. Библиотека Vavilon для Зингера является синонимом постмодернистского кризиса культуры.

Враховуючи зростання навантаження на енергетичні системи та зношеність інфраструктури самих мереж, перед сучасними дослідниками постало завдання навчитися ефективно управляти та розподіляти навантаження між споживачами у просторовому та тимчасовому контексті у новому енергетичному просторі. Потрібно створити нові системи управління, які в реальному часі будуть не тільки налаштовувати параметри окремих вузлів енергомережі, а й реорганізовувати її структуру на всіх рівнях, майже до зміни обсягів для самих споживачів. Для таких систем управління необхідний точний прогноз споживання енергії, щоб заздалегідь створити план перерозподілу навантаження. Найбільшу точність прогнозу дають системи, побудовані на основі штучного інтелекту. Точність прогнозу, заснованого на використанні нейронних мереж, залежить від наявних вихідних даних, що визначають архітектуру мережі, ступеня достовірності даних та необхідного періоду прогнозування.

В даній роботі розглянуто проблему погодинного прогнозування споживання електроенергії. На основі вхідних даних у вигляді часового ряду споживання електроенергії за певний період, здійснено короткострокове прогнозування за допомогою нейронної рекурентної мережі (RNN). Детально розглядається вибір архітектури RNN, кількості шарів, а також вибір функцій активації та алгоритмів оптимізації. Також обговорюється вибір гіперпараметрів, як-от швидкість навчання. Описується процес навчання та перевірки, включаючи поділ даних на навчальні, перевірочні та тестові набори. У ньому обговорюється використання відповідних показників для оцінки точності прогнозування за допомогою RNN.

Побудовано мережу і підібрано оптимальні параметри для її роботи. А також спроектовано UML діаграми, в яких чітко відображено, як саме повинна працювати система і яким вимогам повинна відповідати, розроблені сценарії роботи системи та виконано їх програмну реалізацію.

Представлені результати та оцінка ефективності моделі прогнозування споживання електроенергії на основі RNN. Це забезпечує аналіз точності та ефективності моделі при прогнозуванні споживання електроенергії для різних часових горизонтів. В рамках дослідження розглянуто проблему погодинного прогнозування споживання електроенергії. Представлено емпіричні результати дослідження, які демонструють ефективність рекурентних нейронних мереж в порівнянні із традиційними методами, такими як ARIMA та SV у прогнозуванні споживання електроенергії.

Реальні умови експлуатації автомобільної техніки доводять про суттєвого збільшення навантажень, швидкісного і температурного режимів основних вузлів, механізмів і агрегатів з одночасним підвищенням надійності, довговічності і ресурсу автомобіля, що додає додаткові вимого зносостійкості для контактних поверхонь пар тертя в цілому.

До тридцяти відсотків зносу в контактуючих парах працюючих механізмів відводиться на процеси тертя. Тому процесам руйнувань поверхневого шару деталей і їх технологіям зміцнення, приділяється особлива увага. Значну роль для комплексу сформованих зносостійких властивостей поверхневого шару відіграє відповідний спосіб обробки зміцнення, від якого в повній мірі залежить, довговічність, надійність, ресурс роботи механізмів і агрегатів автомобілів. Механізми утворення зносостійких структур наведені у багатьох працях провідних фахівців. В дослідницьких звітах надані режими обробок і кінцевий результат найбільш поширених технологічних методів обробки, де гарантовано при послідовному виконанні певних операцій отримуються відповідні мікроструктури з заданими показниками мікротвердості і зносостійкості на відповідних матеріалах. Суттєвим напрямом у технологіях зміцнення стало використання високоенергетичних джерел енергії, що дозволило розширити спектр модифікування поверхневих шарів, значно підвищити експлуатаційні і зносостійкі характеристики.
ВПЛИВ КОНСТРУКТИВНОЇ ЖОРСТКОСТІ НА ВЛАСНІ ДИНАМІЧНІ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКИ ПОРТАЛЬНИХ НЕСУЧИХ СИСТЕМ
Authors: Д.З. Шматко , С.Р. Штих
Published: December 2023

У статті теоретично досліджено вплив конструктивної жорсткості на власні динамічні характеристики портальних несучих систем. Доведено, що динамічна жорсткість певною мірою залежить не тільки від геометричних параметрів елементів несучої системи, а також від зовнішніх збурень які спостерігаються при динамічному русі портальної підйомно-транспортної машини.

Науково-технічний прогрес у промисловості тісно пов'язаний з розробкою та упровадженням нових технологічних ліній, для яких обов'язковими є транспортні операції. В умовах промислових цехів, що реконструюються і знов будуються, необхідні компактні, маневрені транспортні  машини, які не вимагають великих виробничих площ. Цим вимогам цілком відповідають портальні машини на пневмоколісному ході, які завдяки своїй компоновці пристосовані для транспортування контейнерів, піддонів, термосів і інших вантажів. Виходячи з аналізу конструкцій підйомно-транспортних портальних машин, слід зазначити наступні умови їх експлуатації: необхідність маневрування, екстрене гальмування з вантажем на максимальній висоті підйому, бічний крен портальної машини, динамічне навантаження при фронтальному наїзді передніх коліс на дорожні перешкоди, кососиметричне подолання перешкод, рух по нерівностях на горизонтальній ділянці шляху.
Exploring Interrogation-Related Stressors: Factors Influencing Apparent Stress in Investigative Interviews with Suspects

Published: December 2023

Despite the potential significance of stress on individuals during investigative interviews, the examination of its general impact remains an underexplored area of research, with previous studies primarily focused on the specific phenomenon of stress-induced false confessions. As for interrogation-related stressors, they are indirectly addressed in the literature and are poorly elaborated. This article has two objectives: (1) To determine the impact associated with apparent stress on the decision of the suspects to disclose information relevant to the investigation and to confess their crimes, and (2) to determine the factors that influence the suspects’ apparent stress. The current study is based on analysis of 130 videotaped investigative interviews involving individuals convicted of offenses related to online sexual exploitation of children. The study results show that the suspects’ decisions to confess the alleged facts or to disclose information relevant to the investigation do not appear to be influenced by their apparent stress. Furthermore, the suspects’ ages and the interviewers recalling the benefits of cooperation and mentioning the desire to be honest or authentic during the investigative interview reduced the suspects’ apparent stress.

The Competency-Based Veterinary Education (CBVE) Analyze Working Group of the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) Council on Outcomes-based Veterinary Education (COVE) has developed a CBVE assessment toolkit. The toolkit is designed to provide curriculum committees and individual instructors with an opportune intersection of the CBVE domains of competence and various assessment techniques. College-wide curriculum committees can use the toolkit to guide programs of assessment in the larger unit, ensuring that assessment methods are aligned with intended learning outcomes throughout the curriculum. On a smaller unit basis, the toolkit allows a single instructor or team of instructors to identify domains of interest for evaluation and then to identify various assessment tools appropriate to those domains. For each of 21 different assessment tools, the toolkit provides information that includes: a description; appropriate CBVE domains and competencies; examples; documented uses; evidence of efficacy; references; and links to illustrations if available. Because the toolkit is published online, periodic updates can be made as more data become available on the efficacy of various assessment tools relative to the CBVE domains in veterinary education. From programmatic assessment to single course examinations, the toolkit is intended to assist both administrators and faculty alike in understanding how different assessment approaches can support a variety of competency domains.

Published: December 2023

Cardiovascular disease is a major contributor to morbidity and has become the leading cause of death among renal transplant patients. This paper presents a case of acute myocardial infarction occurring three weeks after a renal transplant. A 45-year-old male recipient experienced acute chest pain, hypotension, and atrial fibrillation, leading to a diagnosis of inferior-posterior wall myocardial infarction. Thrombolysis with Tenectaplase was administered, resulting in the development of a perinephric hematoma six hours later. The patient underwent transfusions and pigtail drainage of the hematoma. Following hematoma resolution, the pigtail catheter was removed, and the patient was started on dual anti-platelets. Upon discharge, the patient exhibited stable renal function. In conclusion, thrombolysis in the early post-transplant period poses significant risks. This case highlights the use of thrombolytic therapy during this period and the successful management of associated complications.

The present study aimed to assess the efficacy of the multimodal fast-track surgery (FTS) program supplemented with the exclusion of renal thermal ischemia, urinary tract drainage, and postoperative wound management in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy for localized T1 RCC.

Methods. A total of 150 patients diagnosed with localized RCC in stage T1 N0 M0 were initially enrolled in this prospective randomized study, with 75 patients assigned to each study group. Patients undergoing perioperative management following the FTS program were randomly assigned to the main study group. The control group comprised patients receiving standard postoperative care. The study specifically involved patients with kidney neoplasms not exceeding 7 cm in the largest diameter based on computed tomography data. Tumor size, localization, and the volume of functioning parenchyma were considered in the assessment.

Results. Among the patients included, 24 cases (16%) underwent radical nephrectomy due to technical difficulties arising from tumor spread to the kidney hilum, rendering them ineligible for further analysis. Consequently, the clinical analysis focused on 126 patients. Within the main group, 64 cases (50.8%) of RCC underwent randomization, and the multimodal FTS program was applied during partial nephrectomy. The control group comprised 62 patients (49.2%).

The median postoperative bed day in the main group was 1.5 days less compared to the control group, with values of 3.2 [2; 4] days versus 5 [4; 7] days, respectively (p < 0.001). Intraoperative complications occurred in 5 cases (4.0%) involving blood loss exceeding 1 liter (4 cases in the main group and 1 case in the control group). Transfusion of blood components occurred only once when the hemoglobin level dropped below 70 g/l.

In the early postoperative period, a total of 9 complications (7.1%) were observed with pyelonephritis lasting more than 3 days diagnosed in 4 cases (3.2%) and wound suppuration in 1 case (0.8%). Despite the absence of drainage in postoperative wounds within the main group, ultrasound examinations revealed small retroperitoneal hematomas (up to 100 ml) requiring drainage in 3% of cases.

Conclusions. The multimodal FTS program for patients with localized RCC during partial nephrectomy, coupled with the exclusion of central thermal ischemia of the kidney, avoidance of retroperitoneal space drainage, and early patient activation, demonstrated a significant reduction in postoperative bed while maintaining a comparable level of perioperative complications.

Currently, in the conditions of the wartime and post-war period, the problem of energy independence of both the whole of Ukraine and each united territorial community is acute. A particularly urgent task in this context is the determination of local energy resources and, on this basis, the formation of the locations of biogas plants - stable energy sources of the community.

The purpose of the work is to substantiate the principles of the location of biogas plants within territorial communities based on the use of an artificial neural network.

To achieve the specified goal, the following tasks were solved: development of a methodical apparatus for the formation of the resource-raw material base of biogas production and substantiation of the principles of the location of biogas plants based on the use of an artificial neural network.

The most important results of the research are the development of a methodical apparatus for the formation of the resource-raw material base of biogas production using the "Tripillia" melon base and the synthesis of the configuration of the location of biogas production using a neural network, which allows to significantly reduce the time spent on the justification and construction of energy-independent united territorial communities of Ukraine. An example of the application of the proposed methodical apparatus for determining the location of biogas plants in the Pereyaslav territorial community is presented.

Geodesic surface lines are analogous to straight lines on a plane. In addition to connecting two points of the surface by the shortest distance, they are the winding trajectories of the reinforcing threads in the strengthening of high-pressure cylinders. Just as a bundle of straight lines can be drawn from a given point on a plane in different directions, so there are geodesic lines on a surface that pass through a given point in different directions. Finding geodesic surface lines in the general case comes down to solving second-order differential equations.

The purpose of the study is to investigate geodesic lines on the surface formed by the rotation of a given plane curve around a vertical axis and their transformation when this curve is shifted away from or towards the axis.

For surfaces of revolution, the second-order differential equation can be reduced to the first order and even reduced to an integral based on the well-known Clerot formula. However, in this case, geodesic lines in all directions can be constructed only for a limited number of surfaces of rotation, and only limited fragments of geodesic lines can be constructed on the remaining surfaces. The article considers the construction of geodesic lines using the numerical solution of a second-order differential equation. The obtained results were visualized.

Published: December 2023

In industry, a significant portion of the energy consumed by electric drives is accounted for by variable drive systems of fans, compressors, pumps and other units with cyclic operation. The control systems used create higher harmonics or have a high cost.

The purpose of the study is a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of various electric drive control systems for ventilation systems.

An analysis of the effectiveness of the selected control method was carried out using the principles of electric drive theory, statistical methods for processing research results and methods for determining the economic efficiency of applied research.

The calculation of the efficiency of the development, which is an adjustable electric drive of a ventilation system with pulse-width control, was carried out using a comparative table of technical and economic indicators obtained using a well-known method for determining the economic efficiency of applied research. The basic options are the electric drive of the Klimatica-5 fan unit with a thyristor voltage regulator and an adjustable ventilation system with a frequency converter. Main technical characteristics of the ventilation system: UH=380 V, IН=63 A.

As a result of the research, it was established that the developed adjustable electric drive of the ventilation system with pulse-width control has better economic efficiency compared to an electric drive with a thyristor regulator with phase-pulse control and amounts to 16,391 UAH, and with a frequency electric drive - 18,042 UAH.

The energy savings of a frequency electric drive due to the increased efficiency of the electric drive due to the low efficiency and low power of the motor are insignificant, and the capital costs are much higher compared to an adjustable electric drive based on a thyristor voltage regulator or a regulator with pulse-width control.

One of the most popular alternative sources is photovoltaic power sources or solar panels.

In agricultural conditions, one of the main problems in the operation of solar panels is the problem of their dustiness due to blowing by strong winds, which raise a large amount of dust into the air, including technological dust, which is typical for such industries as crop production and animal husbandry.

Effective protection of solar modules from pollution using electron-ion technology. On the basis of which an electrostatic device for protecting solar modules from pollution is proposed. A feature of this device is the use of dielectric materials in its design.

The purpose of the study is to highlight the principles of improving the device for protecting solar modules from pollution in order to increase the efficiency of their operation in agricultural conditions.

The proposed method makes it possible to reduce the pollution of solar modules and increase the efficiency of electric energy production. The use of depositing plates coated with a dielectric material in the design of the device increases the electrical safety of this device.

The main forces that affect dust particles during their deposition are the resistance force of the medium, the force due to the uneven distribution of the electric field strength, and the force of the electric field. In addition to these forces, the efficiency of dust particle deposition is affected by the electric field strength for the deposition plates and the distance between them.

The high calculated efficiency of dust particle deposition implies the feasibility of using this electrostatic device for protecting photovoltaic modules from pollution.

The superfamily Eriophyoidea is a large and diverse group of mites that includes a number of species that parasitise plants of economic importance, mainly perennial plants in agriculture and forestry. The purpose of this study is to examine the cornel plants plantations in the botanical gardens of Kyiv and Zhytomyr (Ukraine) for the presence and damage by mites of the superfamily Eriophyoidea. During the study, field and laboratory methods were used in accordance with generally accepted methods in acarology and plant protection. As a result of the study, on Cornus mas L. plants, a four-legged mite Anthocoptes platynotus Nalepa, 1898 was found. This is the farthest northern distribution zone of the species in Ukraine. New data on the harmfulness of this species were received. It was determined that under A. platynotus feeding, there was a slight deformation of the leaf lamina on both sides of the leaf veins, there was no leaf bleaching. The population level of A. platynotus on six varieties of a plant subg. Cornus was determined. It was established that it was different. Phytophage-mite damaged the varieties “Elegantnyi” and “Kubanskyi” the most. The least affected were the varieties “Mosvir-1” and “Novyi”. The varieties “Bylda” and “Svitliachok” had a medium degree of damage. A. platynotus lives on the underside of a leaf and does not form galls or felt. The peak of phytophagous population in the research region occurs at the end of July. It was noted that a low number of A. platynotus does not substantially affect the growth and development of the leaves on the fodder plant. The practical value of the study lies in the fact that the information on A. platynotus presence, abundance, and spread will help in sampling the mites and making future management decisions

. Scab (caused by Venturia inaequalis Cooke (Wint.)) and powdery mildew (Podospaera leucotricha (Ellis & Everh. Salmon)) are harmful diseases of the apple tree, the protection against which is based on repeated spraying with chemical fungicides. To reduce the pesticide burden on agrocenoses, the use of biological protection products is relevant. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of biological preparations based on fungi and bacteria (mycoparasites and antagonists) against scab and powdery mildew of apple trees. For this, a set of methods was used, including phytopathological diagnostics and disease monitoring, phenological observations, yield recording, and statistical analysis. The biological preparations Ampelomycin BT (6 l/ha) based on the fungus of the genus Ampelomyces Ces ex Shlecht., Gliocladin BT (10 l/ha), which contains mycelium and spores of the fungus of the genus Gliocladium, and Fluorescin BT (8 l/ha), which is based on bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas, were investigated. Their use led to a decrease in the spread and development of apple scab, and the technical efficiency of the preparations ranged from 68% to 79%. The biological preparations also reduced the damage to plants by the powdery mildew pathogen with a technical efficiency of 59-76%. Treatment of apple plants with Gliocladin BT, Ampelomycin BT, and Fluorescin BT reduced the number of scab-affected fruits by 22.7-35.6%. The technical effectiveness of the preparations was 62-78%. The use of the biological preparations under study ensured the preservation of the yield within 3.7-4.4 t/ha. The results obtained indicate the prospects of using biological preparations against scab and powdery mildew of apple trees for the ecologisation of plant protection
Fly Me to the Moon

On August 16th, 1960, sitting in an open-air gondola at 103,000’ carefully suspended by a 200’ tall helium balloon, U.S. Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger peers upon cobalt blue skies and the blackest of black (Figure 1). The avant-garde astronaut gets word from the ground crew, “Jump!”, triggering a free fall from 103,000’ and setting the record for the highest skydive ever by any living being (Kittinger, 1961; Kindy, 2023). Captain Joe blazed the trail for the likes of Sheppard, Grissom, and Glenn, testing the limits of the human body. A mere nine years later helium – a relative newcomer to the Periodic table - again flexed its muscle by aiding the propulsion system for Apollo 11’s moon expedition. Jettisoning to 2022, a whopping 180 space launches occurred worldwide, and this number is expected to double in less than seven years. Space tourism leads the pack with an average orbital joyride costing ∼$100K of helium to achieve lift-off (NASA/SpaceEx). During his lonely and ubiquitous ascent into the heavens in 1960, could Captain Kittinger have envisioned the oncoming explosion of helium uses? Could anyone has imagined?
