Современное сельское хозяйство предъявляет высокие требования к новым сортам
хлопчатника. Они должны быть высокопродуктивными, с высокими технологическими свойствами
волокна, относительно засухоустойчивые и относительно меньше требующих доз минеральных
удобрений, устойчивые к болезням и вредителям, и т. д. Генетическое разнообразие
хлопчатника, являясь базовым ресурсом селекционных программ, составляют основу
продовольственной безопасности и благополучия населения. Поэтому исследования и работы
по формированию, изучению, сохранению и поддержанию генофонда хлопчатника, а так же
выведение новых сортов на основе коллекций образцов актуальны во всех хлопкосеющих
странах, в том числе и в Республике Казахстан. Хлопковое волокно вносит существенный
вклад в экономику многих хлопкосеющих стран мира, в том числе и Казахстана. Генофонд
хлопчатника является бесценным богатством для селекции и АПК. Работы по генофонду
хлопчатника ведутся в направлении поддержания их жизнеспособности. Эффективное
использование генофонда хлопчатника зависит от масштаба и глубины оценки его качества,
со стратегическими задачами хлопководства и уровнем организации и эффективности
селекционного процесса. Для создания новых исходных форм хлопчатника основным источником
пополнения является мировая коллекция. Потребность в новых и продуктивных формах с
ценными хозяйственными признаками исходного материала хлопчатника диктует необходимость
постоянного поиска и синтеза генотипов для пополнения гено ресурсов и создания
конкурентоспособных сортов хлопчатника. Хлопководство, как одна из важнейших отраслей
сельскохозяйственного производства требует постоянной сортосмены и системного его
воспроизводства.

The extrusion of the raw material mass makes it possible to obtain full-fledged
feed mixtures balanced in nutrients and useful substances, having a long shelf life
(more than six months) without reducing the basic qualities. For the most efficient
production of animal products, rational use of feed is necessary, which includes methods
to increase their biological and nutritional value. The balance of the extruded feed and
its high nutritional value provide a significant increase in the productivity of farm
animals and poultry. The desire to increase the productivity of a single-screw extruder,
the efficiency of preparing a feed mixture, and reducing the cost of producing a feed
mixture is an urgent task that depends on the design parameters of the extruder, in
particular on the design of the working body - the auger. (Research purpose) To reduce
the leakage of material between the inner surface of the extruder housing and the edge
of the screw screw of the extruder during the extrusion of feed. The estimated indicator
"specific productivity" is proposed, its application makes it possible to
objectively determine the efficiency of the extruder and establish a relationship
between productivity and power costs for the extrusion process. (Conclusions) A screw
design has been developed where the edge of the extruder screw adjacent to the housing
is made grooved, which will reduce the energy intensity of the process and increase the
extrusion productivity.

Socio-political conditions determined the tendencies in the development of
education in the Kazakh steppe: the desire to preserve the national-historical heritage
of the culture, language and literature of the Kazakh people, the formation of national
identity and the desire for a universal principle in education, expressed in the study
of Russian culture, history, language as a means of familiarization to world
civilization. The authors have deduced some historical data of the system of public
education of the Kazakh people during the period of completion of the accession of
Kazakhstan to Russia. Historical facts reveal social conditions, origins and features of
the formation and transition to the system of public education. Public education at that
time tried to ensure the future of the people through education. The general elimination
of illiteracy was based on the creation of a network of educational and training
organizations, radical transformations of the system and structure of school
institutions. The created educational system was intended for the entire population of
Kazakhstan without restrictions on gender, age statusand nationality. In order to
effectively implement the new educational program, active work was underway to create
new textbooks and train qualified teaching staff. As a result, in the field of public
education, there have been certain shifts towards an increase in schools and other
educational institutions, and the elimination of illiteracy in Kazakhstan.

"UM AMIGUINHO DIFERENTE": A REPRESENTAÇÃO DO AUTISTA NA HQ DA TURMA DA MÔNICA
Authors: SILVA R. M. , OLIVEIRA Sayonara Amaral de
Published: February 2022

The literary production delivered to the children are an ideal context to produce social representations to child audience identify themselves. For this reason, it is an opportunity to question where the place to the diversity of the identitary representations, in special the ones from people with disability, that claim, legitimately, for more visibility in the field of artistic-cultural productions is. Based on this assumption, the objective of this article is to investigate one number of a Brazilian comic book called Monica‘s Gang, by Mauricio de Sousa, in order to analyze the approach that the narrative gives to the child with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Originally published in 2002 and with guaranteed distribution up to the present day, the aforementioned issue is entitled Monica ́s Gang - a different litlle friend and highlights the character of an autistic boy called André. When examining the constitution of this character, we found that the autist child projection is still lined with stigmas, which are translated by his limited place of speech in the narrative. The theoretical contribution came up from the studies about representation promoted by Hall (2016); studies about Autism carried out by Gaiato and Teixeira (2018); also contemplating the peculiarities of comic narratives in the perspective of McCloud (1995)

BALANTIDIUM COLI infection, immune status and comorbidities: literature review
Authors: Silva de Oliveira (§) Amanda , Gómez-Hernández (§) César , Rezende-Oliveira Karine
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT Balantidiasis, a disease caused by the ciliated protozoan Balantidium coli, mainly infects thelarge intestine and may present intestinal spread. The purpose of this literature review was to study the infection by B. coli and comorbidities to identify the factors that can contribute to the establishment of the disease. In this review, we attempt to explore and describe the various comorbidities associated with B. coli infection. We reviewed the literature based on comorbidities with a focus on the association with B. coli infection. The primary platforms targeted were PubMed, LILACS, SciELO and Google Scholar. Studies published between 1990 and 2020 in Portuguese, English, and Spanish were considered. The comorbidities reported in the papers were diverse, associating infection by B. coli with the immunosuppression that they generate. The intestinal microbiota may also play an important role, because when dysbiosis is present, its composition and structure are affected, which may enable the invasion of the mucosa. The review shows that the presence of the parasite and establishment of balantidiasis can influence in the clinical stage of chronic and autoimmune diseases, considering themodulation of the immune response in presence of B. coli.KEY WORDS: Balantidium coli; autoimmunity; balantidiosis; comorbidities; immunodepression.

Application of X-Ray diffraction analysis for sedimentological investigation of Middle Devonian dolomites from Northeastern Bulgaria
Authors: Andreeva Polina , Stoilov Ventsislav , Petrov Ognyan
Published: February 2022

The studied Middle Devonian (Givetian) dolomites occur in three well sections: OP-2 Mihalich, R-119 Kardam and R-1 Vaklino (Northeastern Bulgaria). Two general genetic dolomite groups are distinguished and interpreted on the basis of performed XRD analyses and petrographic observations. The first one is represented by early diagenetic crypto- to microcrystalline dolostones that are characterized by nearly stoichiometric composition (from 51.0 to 51.7 mole % CaCO3) and degree of order ranging from 0.50 to 0.91. They are interpreted as products of rapid precipitation in an arid peritidal (sabkha) environment with hypersalinity of the water milieu and elevated Mg/Ca ratio of the dolomitizing solutions. The second group includes late diagenetic medium crystalline dolostones that have almost stoichiometric composition (from 50.0 to 51.3 mole % CaCO3) and higher degree of order (from 0.77 to 1.18) indicating a possible slow crystallization process and precipitation from dilute solutions at elevated temperatures in an open diagenetic system. A part of them might have also resulted from neomorphic alteration of precursor metastable dolomite phases.

Introduction: Clinical Teaching (CT) is a training and evaluation tool used by Nursing courses. In view of the path taken, technical dexterity and expansion of theoretical knowledge, the performance and training of the student as an upcoming professional is evaluated. It is essential to find out the importance of CT as a learning method. Aims: To identify the importance of Clinical Teaching in the training of nursing students. Methodology: Integrative literature review, based on the do Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, in the PubMed, SciELO, BVS and RCAAP databases, between January 2012 and December 2018. Articles about nursing students and / or nurses, over 18 years old, with a focus on CT were included. Results: In the initial research, 20538 was obtained and, after implementing the previously established criteria, in the end 10 articles were obtained, which were analyzed in detail. Five are quantitative studies and another five are qualitative studies. As for quantitative studies, they used several instruments to obtain the data. As for qualitative studies, most of them used interviews and open-ended questionnaires. Nursing students translate the CT as positive, despite seeing discrepancies between the knowledge acquired in the classroom and those exercised in clinical practice. They highlight the interaction with clients, the development of the therapeutic relationship and the opportunity to exercise what they have learned in a theoretical context with a positive connotation. Conclusions: Despite stress and anxiety, it was found the importance of performing CT in the context of clinical practice for personal and professional development, both in terms of technical dexterity and interpersonal skills, resulting in better training for the future nursing professional. Better knowledge of the stress factors of the TC allows to optimize facilitating strategies and optimize this learning period.

The present study contributes to existing literature by empirically testing the moderated mediating role of firm’s risk on the relationship between derivative usage and firm value by gathering sample data of Pakistani and Malaysian non-financial firms. By using Bootstrap technique of Hayes (2015), study finds that the use of derivative has both direct and indirect effect on firm value in Pakistan, contrary to Malaysia, as derivative usage significantly enhances firm value by reducing firm’s risk. Findings remain same for both foreign currency and interest rate derivative usage that firm’s risk significantly mediates the relationship between derivative usage and firm value in Pakistani non-financial corporations.

Published: February 2022

This paper identifies the various risks in sukuk structures, sharia’h permissible risk hedging techniques and certain regulatory, legal and infrastructural challenges which this novel product is facing in the modern global financial system. The analysis demonstrates that though sukuk is a viable device for asset-monetization, its complex structure necessitates the development of innovative sharia’h permissible risk management tools which can be formulated within the sharia’h framework of Al-Khiyar. Since the sukuk originated from emerging markets which are mostly characterized with secrecy and institutional imbalances, these circumstances create great hardships for the bankers and regulators to observe the progress of the corporate being financed. In this research it is argued that this situation strongly demands greater transparency and disclosure in sukuk structures coupled with profound regulatory, legal and institutional reformation in emerging markets. The research finally argues that sustainable market for the sukuk is doomed with uncertainties, unless the innovative process for sharia’h compatible risk hedging techniques continues and aforesaid reformations are initiated.

COVID-19 pandemic has piqued the research interest of medical professionals and social scientists. In social sciences COVID-19 based political campaigns and trends on social media have extended their implications in the domain of political communication. The dissemination of COVID-19 news on social media is widespread, however, the political factors influencing the spread of such news are less discussed. To explore these factors, we evaluated empirical data from 390 social media users in Pakistan by applying PLS-SEM modeling. Snowball sampling was implied to collect the data. Political interest, partisanship, political knowledge, and political efficacy were incorporated as antecedents of COVID-19 news sharing on social media. Major findings show political interest as the most significant antecedent of COVID-19 news sharing followed by political knowledge and partisanship. However, political efficacy did not display any significant influence on participants’ intentions of sharing COVID-19 news via social media. Based on the findings, theoretical and policy implications are suggested. Keywords: Social Media; COVID-19 News Sharing; Political Interest; Partisanship; Political Knowledge; Political Efficacy

This paper investigated the finance-growth nexus by adopting a novel approach for Pakistan. Firstly, we constructed a financial liberalization index by incorporating several time-varying financial frictions and reforms which is a manifestation of the de-jure financial liberalization process. Secondly, for examining the impact of financial liberalization on growth, we extended the Solow-Swan growth model to construct a financial sector augmented growth model. By incorporating the de-jure financial liberalization index, we examined the growth-finance linkages. By employing the Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag model and error-correction mechanism, the results of the study showed that de-jure financial liberalization provides momentum to economic growth in the short-run as well as in the long run. Empirical findings highlighted that moving towards a more liberalized financial system by reducing rigidities and expediting an effective reform process offers very hopeful prospects of economic growth in developing countries like Pakistan.

The past school was essentially worried over the motor of "source" (altering game measures for makers) to build financial yield and benefit, while they last for the most part imparts to Marxian worries over the driver of "interest" (a libertarian model of pay dissipating that is at the foundation of mass use) of expanding money related creation and supportability. NIEs stress that if an allowed and exposed market for examinations is made, China's can't continue with its cash related improvement or become a general centre point for mechanical movement or savvy introduction. Notwithstanding, this paper shows that the creation of a working business part for contemplations would not generally ensure the sensibility of budgetary improvement, drawing on the exercises of Japan's affiliation. This paper endorses that it takes quite a long while to make a working business section for insights that change into some other time of post-industrialization. Moreover, in the post-industrialization mastermind, quick thing creating is cultivated by solid test, in which doing combating firms animate the presentation of battling things into the marketplace, which might open ground-breaking firms to important powerlessness.

Livestock is considered one of the major components in the farming system of Pakistan. Animals rearing, feeding, cutting fodder, cleaning shed and many other activities which are associated with livestock. Female contribution in livestock is remarkable and important in term of all above mentioned activities. The key objective of this study is to explore the women participation in this sector. For this study 400 respondents who belonged to three different geographical regions of Punjab (North, South and central) were taken to collect the information. Respondents were selected by using purposive sampling technique and tool of data collection was interview schedule. Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used to analyze the collected data. Data reveals the findings that more than half number of households (57.8%) had 1-5 animals for rearing. Majority of the female performed livestock activities like poultry raising (54%), raising of sheep (50%), cutting fodder (36%), cleaning of animals shed (31%) and many other activities on daily basis. This percentage exposed the female contribution in this sector. There were negative repercussions on the health of women which indicated that almost (80%) women suffered from different kind of diseases. The major findings of study reveal that in spite of huge contribution in livestock activities their participation is never acknowledge and appreciated. They are still impoverished in term of resources, incapacitated to take any decision and majority is illiterate to use new techniques in this sector which marginalized their economic benefits beside socio-cultural barriers. This study also propound that Government should initiate different programs and training to encourage people participation and mainly women to take part in these activities.

Present study revisits the financial market development and economic growth nexus by examining the path through which exchange rate determines the role of foreign direct investment on finance-growth link. Sample data represents 22 Asian countries for the period of 1998–2018. Following the categorization of World Bank, study divides the data in developing and developed countries. Findings depict that the developing countries can achieve maximum growth in times of fewer foreign direct investments and weaker home currency. While, developed countries can maximize their economic progression by increasing foreign direct inflows and appreciated home country’s currency. Policy makers of developing countries should develop guidelines that encourage their local industry to foster economic growth and make necessary steps to stabilize their currency. In comparison to this, regulators of developed countries should relax trade tariffs and quotas to increase foreign direct investments and economic growth.

In Iqbal’s political philosophy and practice, parliamentary spiritual democratic system is universalistic and particularistic in its range. Global in nature, it is anchored in the religion of Islam that gives it a universal look. In 1926, when he entered politics to realize this ideal in practice, his ideas started to reflect the political scenario of the subcontinent. Besides Islam, Iqbal had made use of a good deal of western political concepts of nationalism, democracy, secularism, sovereignty, ethics of politics and communism. But he neither fully appreciates nor discards out rightly all these concepts. On the other hand, he has expounded his own political ideals of Tauhid, Khudi, Marde Momin, Islamic democracy, Millat, etc. Through these patterns of thought, Iqbal try to train an individual, a society and a global Islamic order. This universal order as it is construed from the concept of ummah will strive for the promotion of pan-humanism, i.e., freedom, brotherhood, and equality of humanity. In this paper Iqbal’s political philosophy, his concept of Khudi, how he perceives an ideal society will be analyzed. It will also be highlight that how his political philosophy changed from one stage to another. Keywords: Allama Iqbal, Political Philosophy, Muslim Society in India, Islam, Nation-State

Published: February 2022

De manera general, la agricultura familiar que se desarrolla en el occidente del país se caracteriza por el uso extendido de la fuerza humana y de animales de tiro, mientras que la fuerza motriz que, si bien ha ido incrementando su presencia, no es la fuente de energía más generalizada. En ese contexto, se ha realizado una investigación para conocer las particularidades de la tenencia de máquinas agrícolas y el uso de las diferentes fuentes de energía aplicadas a la agricultura, en el municipio de Pucarani del departamento de La Paz, aplicándose encuestas y entrevistas a una muestra representativa de productores en las distintas comunidades de sus tres Zonas: Centro, Sur y Norte. En ellas se ha indagado sobre variables de inventario de los distintos Medios Técnicos de Labranza (MTL), de su uso y la fuente de energía requerida. La investigación ha permitido contar con un inventario de las principales herramientas y máquinas agrícolas utilizadas en la zona, identificándose sus principales usos y fuentes de energía; también fueron importantes los hallazgos sobre la introducción del tractor en las actividades productivas. Los resultados muestran que en los últimos años se ha incrementado el uso de la fuerza motriz alcanzando un 54 %, la fuerza humana un 36 % y animal sólo un 10 %. Valores calculados considerando todas las horas dedicadas a las actividades de labranza primaria y secundaria en los distintos cultivos producidos en el municipio. Estos resultados mostrarían que la introducción del tractor no ha seguido una estrategia basada en un diagnóstico de la zona pues se esperaría que la fuerza humana reduzca más y se haga un uso más equilibrado de la fuerza animal, lo que redundaría en una mayor productividad.

La berenjena es una hortaliza originaria de Asia con gran poder de adaptación a las condiciones ambientales de la Región Caribe, a pesar de ser un cultivo con rendimientos que permiten recuperar la inversión y generar excedentes para el agricultor, se considera que la eficiencia tanto técnica como económica aún no alcanzan el potencial productivo y será susceptible de mejorar. De acuerdo con las fuentes consultadas no se encontró evidencia de un estudio que permita entender la eficiencia de la producción en esta región y los factores que la determinan, es por esta razón, que se planteó esta investigación con el objetivo de determinar la eficiencia técnica del cultivo de berenjena en las zonas productoras de la región caribe de Colombia. Con información obtenida de 62 encuesta aplicadas a los productores seleccionados por muestreo aleatorio simple se calcularon estadísticas descriptivas, se formuló un modelo tipo Cobb Douglas y se estimaron los parámetros por el método de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios. Los resultados permiten evidenciar rendimientos a escala decreciente 0.84 menor que 1.00 y la presencia de brechas de producción que corresponden a una eficiencia técnica del 50 % y un déficit de producción de 12.94 toneladas con relación al potencial productivo. Lo anterior se explica por usos inadecuados de factores de producción como las semillas, los fertilizantes y el control de malezas principalmente.

Authors: Mollisaca Mamani Pablo Esteban , Bonifacio Flores Alejandro
Published: February 2022

Los estudios realizados en la quinua están enfocados principalmente al comportamiento agronómico, muy poco se ha abordado los sub productos de cosecha y trilla que son la broza (restos de tallo) y el jipi (perigonios, pedicelos y hojas molidas). La información disponible sobre los usos de la broza y al jipi es muy escasa. No se conoce el rendimiento de los subproductos por variedad y tampoco se tiene información sobre la composición bromatológica de los subproductos. Por esta razón se ha evaluado el rendimiento de grano, broza y jipi de cuatro variedades bajo el diseño experimental de Bloques Completos al Azar. La investigación se ha complementado con el análisis bromatológico de los subproductos de trilla y con la recolección de información sobre los usos que le dan en distintas comunidades del Altiplano Norte y Central de Bolivia. Los resultados reportaron diferencias significativas para el rendimiento de las variedades y no significativa para los subproductos. La variedad Jacha Grano fue la de mayor rendimiento (3 063.25 kg ha-1) seguido por las variedades Nayjama (2 821.75 kg ha-1), Surumi (2 405.5 kg ha-1). Surumi (2405.5) y Chucapaca (1 796 75 kg ha-1). El rendimiento promedio de broza fue de 2 226.87 kg ha-1 y el de jipi 1 192.5 kg ha-1. La broza contiene entre 1.66 y 5.66 % de proteína y el jpi entre 12 y 14.7 %. En conclusión, las variedades de quinua estudiadas poseen diferencias en el rendimiento de grano, y no así en broza y jipi. Los subproductos de trilla pueden ser aprovechadas en la suplementación alimenticia para llamas por su contenido de proteína (12 a 14.7 % en jipi). Lo anterior muestra que la quinua es un cultivo multipropósito con buenas opciones de contribuir positivamente a la integración quinua-llama en sistemas de producción en zonas áridas.
