Radio as Platform for Public Sphere to Contribute towards National Development in Nigeria: Study Radio Nigeria Kaduna Hausa Service Programme 'Hannu-Da-Yawa'
Authors: Ashiru Kabir Matazu
Published: December 2024

National development is what all leaders worldwide strive to achieve regardless of the type of government they operate. In a democratic setting like that of Nigeria, the governments make deliberate efforts to galvanize both human and material resources to achieve development. Human resources are the most important, so it is imperative to strategically mobilize citizens to contribute in the right direction. This calls for the need to utilize the new media as an instrument for social mobilization where citizens are informed, educated and given room to make contributions. This paper examines the role Radio Nigeria Kaduna Hausa Service programme Hannu-Da-Yawa (Public Sphere sort of) plays by bringing avenues for guests and audiences to discuss issues of national importance in a manner that engenders development. Participatory Liberal Theory is used, and the correlation between what the theory advocates and the programme Hannu Da Yawa is all about has been clearly established. The study is qualitative, and an in-depth personal interview was conducted in collecting data, and the collected data was analyzed using thematic analyses. Findings revealed that the programme is making tremendous contributions towards achieving national development. Recommendations were made and directed to the audience, the radio station authorities, guests, and above all, the government for consideration and implementation.

Published: December 2024

The aim of this study was to enhance disaster management in the Bamenda City Council and update the Disaster Management Profile of Cameroon by evaluating the likelihood and impact of different disasters in the area. The study found that the most common hazards and disasters in the area were floods, environmental pollution, storms, criminal activities, political unrest, and civil disobedience. Through a field survey, the study analyzed the perceptions of community members and council representatives from indigenous villages and urban settlements, as well as secondary data obtained from relevant institutions in Cameroon. The research proposed management strategies to improve the local council authorities' ability to respond effectively to these disasters, including the use of mobile hospital facilities, activation of emergency transportation, and preparation for emergency reception centers and shelters within the city council area. The study recommended that the Bamenda City Council implement existing disaster management plans while considering potential hazards and providing adequate disaster management facilities within the various Sub Divisional Councils. By doing so, the council can enhance their ability to respond to disasters effectively.
The Impact of the Traditional Method of Procurement on the Estimated Cost and Time Efficiency in Building Construction Projects in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nigeria
Authors: Ibrahim Iyiola Salami
Published: December 2024

Construction projects must be completed on time and under budget through efficient procurement. Construction management literature has often examined how procurement practices affect project performance. Traditional procurement has been criticised as a result. This study examines how conventional procurement methods affect cost estimation and time efficiency in Abuja, Nigeria, building construction projects. A questionnaire and quantitative study were used to collect data. One Hundred and Fifty-Eight (158) questionnaires were administered to the research population, and one hundred and eighteen (118) were retrieved, representing a response rate of 75%. Mean item scores and T-tests were used to analyse importance. All the criteria responsible for the use of traditional methods were deemed moderately significant since they had Mean Scores that were higher than 3.00. The most acceptable benefits associated with the use of the traditional method included checks and balances, which was ranked first and had a Mean Score of 3.28. The impacts of the traditional method of procurement ranged from "optimization of performance metrics including cost and time" (mean = 3.45), which is the highest ranked, to "budget slippage and cost overrun" (mean = 3.05, which is the least ranked. To get the most significant impacts of the traditional method of procurement based on the mean score, a threshold of 3.00 was set. As a result, all the impacts of the traditional method of procurement on the estimated cost and time efficiency of building construction projects were above 3.00 and considered significant. The major recommendation from the study was that to improve the performance of traditional methods of procurement concerning their impact on estimated cost and time efficiency, contracting and consulting firms and all other relevant stakeholders should develop a mechanism that includes all the strategies identified.

Published: December 2024

In the recent past, the retail sector landscape in Kenya has witnessed considerable supply chain disruptions and even closure of some of the giant local and international retail chains. The main purpose of the study was to establish the moderating effect of supply chain Pillars on the relationship between supply chain integration and retail outlet performance. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design with a target population of 2654 staff drawn from Naivas, Quickmart, Chandarana, and Carrefour supermarkets across the four cities in Kenya. The study used closed-ended structured questionnaires to collect primary data. The data was analyzed using logistic regression. The study was conducted between the years 2022 and 2024. The study reported a significant moderating effect of supply chain pillars on the relationship between supply chain integration and retail outlet performance (Est. = 0.986022; p≤0.01). Supply Chain Incentive Alignment (SCIA), with an estimate of 1.3888321 (p≤0.01), had the highest contribution to increasing retail outlet performance, followed by Supply Chain Decision Synchronization (SCDS) with an estimate of 1.290342 (p≤0.01) and lastly, Supply Chain Information Sharing (SCIS) with an estimate of 0.874501 (p≤0.05). The study concluded that the efforts invested in supply chain integration practices, including information sharing, decision synchronization, and incentive alignment, are crucial for improving service delivery, customer satisfaction, and profitability in retail outlets.

Authors: Dr. Ondiwa Simon Oluoch  , Dr. Fredrick Onyango Aila  , Wicklife Odhiambo Okinda
Published: December 2024

Green banking involves financing practices by commercial banks, which are environmentally compliant and sustainable. Empirical studies reveal that financial institutions have adopted green banking policies in Kenya, Africa, and other developing countries worldwide. However, the adoption of green financing policies is still shallow compared to their industrialized counterparts. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to establish the relationship between green banking and the performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The specific objective of this study is to determine the relationship between electronic transaction volumes and profit before tax of commercial banks in Kenya using quantitative research paradigm and longitudinal time series research design. The study is anchored on the CAMEL model, CAMPARI framework and 5Cs lending model. Results of the study reveal that electronic transaction volumes significantly influence profit before tax of commercial banks in Kenya ((β =.64, p =0.000<0.05). Therefore, it is concluded that green banking influences the performance of commercial banks in Kenya. This study is essential to scholars, regulators and commercial bank managers.
Evaluation of the Performance of County Forest Conservancies against their Performance Contracts Targets as Indicated in Their AWP&B in Kenya
Authors: Maurice Charles Ouma Ogilo  , Balozi Kirongo Bekuta  , Paul Okelo Odwori
Published: December 2024

Annual Workplan and Budget (AWP&B) are prepared annually by public organizations as required by the government policy for funds allocation by the treasury, which presents a focused role and a determined direction that estimates organization finances against her activities in a financial year. This study analyzed the effect of AWP&B on the performance of County Forest Conservancies (CFCs) in Kenya. Specifically, the study evaluated the performance of CFCs against their PC targets as indicated in their AWP&B. Descriptive research design was employed to analyze the AWP&B on the performance of CFCs. The result of the evaluation of performance showed that the observed calculated Chi-square (χ2) test statistics (79.81) was greater than the critical value (5.99) at 95% (α = 0.05). The test result was found to be significant, showing that the performance of CFCs did not support the full realization of their PC targets as indicated in their AWP&B. In conclusion, AWP&B indicated a significant impact on the performance of CFCs, showing that the planned target was not achieved fully as expected. The reason established for under achievement was that the CFCs do not receive adequate fund to enable them run their activities effectively. The study, therefore, recommended that the management implement a co-financing/cost-sharing model in AWP&B by exploring, securing and harnessing diversified funding sources, including private stakeholders, public-private partnerships and international grants to enable the organization to attain the overarching goal of increasing forest and tree cover in the country.
Conducting a Literature Review in Political Science: Comments on Approaches, Functional Significance, Processes and Challenges in the Digital Age
Authors: Uchon Fidelis I
Published: December 2024

Literature review is an unavoidable stage in scientific research and writing. It reflects both familiarity with the stock of knowledge in a subject/topic area and scientific maturity. Unfortunately, students of political science and social sciences tend to undermine, neglect, or take this research activity for granted. There are at least two possible explanations: unawareness about its significance and the practical ways of conducting a standard literature review. This paper attempts to bring back the seriousness of conducting a literature review. It examines the functional significance of conducting the literature review, some associated challenges and possible practical ways of overcoming them. The findings indicate that cognitive awareness about the academic and social significance/ function of the process is fundamental in getting students practically engaged in it. There is, therefore, a positive correlation between our capacity to conduct a literature review and our cognitive feelings of the necessity to do so. When students know that without a literature review, they may not be graded positively, they are more likely to become serious in this stage of research methodology.
Machine-Learning Model for Program Selection in Technical and Vocational Educational Training (TVET) in Kenya
Authors: David Ochieng Otewa  , Jaime Samaniego
Published: December 2024

This study presents a novel machine learning model to improve program selection processes within Kenya’s Technical and Vocational Educational Training (TVET) institutions. With the increasing demand for vocational education driven by Kenya’s Vision 2030, there is a critical need for systems that align students’ skills and career aspirations with suitable educational programs. We used data from 1,500 current students and alumni students in Nairobi, Kisumu, and Mombasa cities to develop the model. The model uses a Random Forest algorithm to analyze inputs such as Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education grades, personality traits based on the Holland Code, and gender. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 87 % with alumni data and 83% with current students' data, proving its potential to significantly affect educational outcomes by providing data-driven, personalized program recommendations in Technical and Vocational Educational Training (TVET) institutions in Kenya. The developed method can be extended and used for different educational institutions in Kenya.
Arquitectura escolar contemporánea en Colombia
Authors: Franco Calderón Angela María , Ramírez Potes Francisco
Published: December 2024

Las exploraciones de carácter espacial, social y cultural de buena parte de la arquitectura escolar colombiana de comienzos del siglo XXI han hecho que estos proyectos se destaquen en el contexto de la arquitectura contemporánea. Los proyectos seleccionados en este libro van más allá de la respuesta a las necesidades curriculares y a la cualificación material, formal o funcional del objeto arquitectónico, pues testimonian el carácter pedagógico intrínseco de la arquitectura a través de sus relaciones espaciales y las acciones -sobre todo colectivas-, potenciadas por ellas.

El presente libro permite comprender su evolución a partir de una coyuntura en la que concurren nuevas pedagogías, ideales de la cultura arquitectónica colombiana, así como programas de construcción para responder a aspectos sociales y culturales. Aborda la búsqueda por armonizar el desarrollo pleno de las potencialidades del individuo, el respeto y cultivo de las subjetividades al tiempo que se promueve la armonía con el entorno y en la vida social, donde la construcción de ciudadanía y de tejido social es común tanto en los proyectos de carácter público como en los de iniciativa privada. La gran cantidad de concursos públicos, tanto de índole pública como privada, ha facilitado dicha evolución a partir de las propuestas de los arquitectos, influyendo así en el replanteamiento de los aspectos técnico-funcionales, pues más allá de los currículos -aunque también favoreciéndolos-, las estructuras espaciales, las urdimbres de las formas, los intersticios y los vacíos, la relación con el exterior y las relaciones entre las partes, muestran que el edificio escolar puede desbordar lo convencionalmente educativo.

Los diferentes ejemplos estudiados permiten comprender que el espacio escolar no es un sitio en el que se recibe una preparación para la vida, sino que es un espacio que es vivido y que por tanto da sentido a la experiencia.

Las primeras impresiones de la infancia deciden á veces de la vida entera: Juana Manso, lectora

Authors: Pionetti Marinela
Published: December 2024

This work investigates a key aspect of Juana Manso’s life that allows o understand and measure the relevance of the design of public reading policies, within the framework of the common education project defended by her and Domingo F. Sarmiento in the 1860s and 1870s in Argentina. For this, it reconstructs Juana's reading biography in its different stages through exile from a genealogical perspective capable of linking texts from different sources and giving meaning to a variety that illuminates the bases of a founding project of modern Argentine culture. In this panorama, the following paper shows the formation of the author's initiation and training libraries that supported her educational and feminist preaching. We incorporate unpublished texts outside of their original publication and recently discovered, and for this reason unknown to the readers of Juana Manso's work. In this way, we seek to provide an entry line to the fascinating universe of this writer and point out the importance of the reading biography of the agents involved in the design of public reading policies in Argentina, plausible to be thought of in other contexts.

Introduction. The article presents an analysis of the materials of judicial practice, definitions, decisions of the courts of the first, appellate and cassation instances, when making decisions on actions in the organization of fire extinguishing. The statements of claim are considered, which issues are most often submitted for court permits. Research objectives. The purpose of the study is to analyze the materials of judicial practice, which decisions are most often made by courts when considering cases related to actions aimed at extinguishing fires. Research methods. In the course of the study, the method of system analysis was used. The results of the study. Analysis of court materials showed that in court sessions, as a rule, a set of standard accusations against participants in fire extinguishing is considered. When passing sentences, the courts did not take into account the abnormal situations that arose during the extinguishing, which, according to regulatory documents, were mandatory for the organization and management of fire extinguishing, but which could not be carried out for reasons independent of the extinguishing participants. In the materials of the reviewed court decisions, there is no explanation of how firefighters should act in certain abnormal conditions, often risking their lives. Conclusion. The problem lies in the fact that, in violation of Article 5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Article 28 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, when evaluating actions to organize fire extinguishing, dangerous fire factors affecting the participants of extinguishing are not taken into account. In this case, it is not evaluated whether there was a real opportunity to prevent the socially dangerous consequences of the fire due to the non-compliance of the psychophysiological qualities of the participants in extinguishing the fire with the requirements of extreme fire conditions. Currently, there are no documents that enshrine the right to make a mistake of fire extinguishing managers who perform actions to save people under extreme conditions of uncontrolled combustion, which does not obey the templates and requirements of the guiding documents on the organization of fire extinguishing.
Keywords: judicial decisions; statements of claim; head of fire extinguishing; analysis; fire.

Introduction. The issue of equipping the regulatory framework with requirements in the field of design, installation, maintenance and repair of fire notification transmission systems is raised. Targets and goals. To study the current regulatory framework in the field of design, installation, maintenance and repair of fire notification transmission systems, technical documentation of manufacturers of these systems and to analyze them for further development of a new regulatory document in the standardization system in the Russian Federation. Methods. A review of regulatory documents establishing requirements for the design, installation, maintenance and repair of fire notification transmission systems has been carried out. Results. The issues of designing fire notification transmission systems at protection facilities are considered, the main problems of this issue concerning the insufficiency of the current regulatory framework in this area are presented. The analysis of the requirements of the technical documentation of manufacturers and their contradictions with the current regulatory framework, in terms of design, installation, maintenance and repair of a fire notification transmission system at a protection facility is also presented. Research application field. The provided analysis of manufacturers' technical documentation and regulatory framework in the field of design, installation, maintenance and repair of fire notification transmission systems will allow in the future to develop a single regulatory document that will contain the necessary information for manufacturers and for specialized organizations that are engaged in the design, installation, maintenance and repair of fire notification transmission systems. Conclusions. Currently, regulatory documents in the field of design, installation, maintenance and repair of fire notification transmission systems do not fully formulate requirements for the design, installation, maintenance and repair of fire notification transmission systems. To eliminate both technical and legal gaps, it is proposed to develop a single regulatory document that reflects all aspects and technical specifics of the design, installation, commissioning and further maintenance of fire notification transmission systems.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. Some features of the organization of the actions of the inspector of
the department of supervision and preventive work are considered. It is proposed to use
a model for solving a transport problem as a formal model for streamlining the
preventive work of a supervisory activity unit in conditions of simultaneous planning
and execution. The solution of the transport problem is illustrated by an example of one
of the divisions of the Moscow region. The development of a decision support system
based on the hierarchy analysis method as input data for the design and training of a
neural network is adapted and illustrated. The training data is based on the results of
an expert survey, which includes a sample of the importance of criteria (preventive
measures) and alternatives based on expert survey data. Goals and objectives. The
purpose of the article is to develop a plan of preventive measures. It is based on the
idea of the transport task of choosing the necessary preventive measure depending on the
sample parameters. To achieve the goal, the task of developing a sequence of actions to
optimize labor costs using the method of analyzing hierarchies and machine learning was
implemented. The sequence of actions for training the developed neural network on a
specific example is described, where the data were obtained as a result of an expert
survey based on the developed questionnaire. Methods. The article uses the method of
mathematical processing of statistical data, the method of algorithmizing, visualization
and machine learning. Adaptive control methods are also used. Results and its
discussion. It is proposed to use a model for solving the transport problem as a formal
model for streamlining the preventive work of the supervisory activity unit. Key
algorithms and mathematical underpinnings have also been developed for the application
of neural network technologies using the properties of a decision support system based
on expert survey data. Conclusion. The developed plan system for planning preventive
work includes both a regulatory approach and modern machine learning methods, which is
one of the priority areas in the development of modern science. Keywords: transport

Authors: Kaur Simplepreet , Kaur Simrat , Deshmukh Divyanshu
Published: December 2024

The term “Angina bullosa hemorrhagica” (ABH) refers to the sudden emergence of oral blood-filled vesicles and bullae that are not related to systemic illnesses, vesiculobullous disorders, blood dyscrasia, or any other recognized cause. It presents as sudden-onset hemorrhagic bullae that burst spontaneously, causing superficial erosions that heal on their own without leaving any scarring in a few days. The most frequently recognized triggering factor seems to be trauma; however, the fundamental tissue abnormality is still unknown. In this report, we are presenting three cases diagnosed clinically as ABH in an effort to highlight this rare cause of oral hemorrhagic bullae, which is a self-limiting disease.

Исследованы красноземные почвы двух высокогорных долин Китайской Народной Республики (Фуминь и Дунчуань), на которых выращивают кукурузу. Показано, что почвы существенно отличались по содержанию общего азота (в три раза больше в почве Фуминя) и доступного фосфора (в два раза меньше этого элемента в почве Фуминя). Почва Дунчуаня имела кислую реакцию среды, а Фуминь - близкую к нейтральной. Соотношение C:N в почве Фуминь равно 6, что благоприятно для функционирования бактерий, так как это соотношение характерно для их клеток. В почве Дунчуаня из-за существенно более низкого содержания азота соотношение С:N широкое (23), что требует дополнительного внесения азотных удобрений. Почвы обеих долин содержали очень большое количество доступного калия. Определены качественные характеристики зерна кукурузы, выращенной на этих почвах. Методом секвенирования метагенома 16s рРНК определен состав микробного сообщества почв, а также проведен корреляционный анализ взаимосвязи бактерий с метаболитами почв. Показано участие бактерий в углеводном, белковом метаболизме, трансформации железа и деградации фосфорорганических пестицидов.

The red soils of two high-mountain valleys of the People's Republic of China (Fumin and Dongchuan), where corn is grown, were studied. It was shown that the soils differed significantly in the content of total nitrogen (three times more in the soil of Fumin) and available phosphorus (two times less of this element in the soil of Fumin). The Dongchuan soil was acidic, while Fumin one was close to neutral. The C:N ratio in the Fumin' soil was 6, which is favorable for the functioning of bacteria, since this ratio is characteristic of their cells. In Dongchuan' soil, due to the significantly lower nitrogen content, the C:N ratio is wide (23), which requires additional application of nitrogen fertilizers or an increase in soil organic matter content through the application of organic fertilizer. Both valley soils contained very high amounts of available potassium. The qualitative characteristics of corn grain grown on these soils were determined. By sequencing the 16s rRNA metagenome, the composition of the soil microbial community was determined, and the correlation analysis of the relationship between bacteria and soil metabolites was carried out. The participation of bacteria in carbohydrate and protein metabolism, iron transformation and degradation of organophosphorus pesticides were shown.

Проанализированы результаты впервые проведенных в Киргизии двух полевых опытов по изучению влияния хелатов цинка и меди на продуктивность и качество батата. Почвы опытных участков характеризовались высокой обеспеченностью фосфором и калием и низкой обеспеченностью - медью и цинком. Внесение полного минерального удобрения (N60P60 K60) на фоне органического удобрения повысило урожайность клубней батата по сравнению с внесением только органического удобрения - с 36,8 до 49,7 т/га. Использование органоминеральной системы удобрений оказало значимое влияние на содержание макроэлементов и сухого вещества в листьях, стеблях и клубнях батата. Внесение меди и цинка способствовало дополнительному повышению урожайности клубней батата и позволяло значительно увеличить содержание крахмала в них, однако максимальное накопление моносахаридов (18,9 %), суммы сахаров (36,8 %) и инулина (7,5 %) получено в варианте с применением полного минерального удобрения на органическом фоне без микроудобрений .

The results of the first two field experiments conducted in Kyrgyzstan were analyzed to study the effect of zinc and copper chelates on the productivity and quality of sweet potatoes. The soils of the experimental plots were characterized by high content of phosphorus and potassium and low content of copper and zinc. The application of full mineral fertilizer (N60 P60 K60) against the background of organic fertilization increased the yield of sweet potato tubers in comparison with the application of organic fertilization only - from 36.8 to 49.7 t / ha. The use of an organomineral fertilizer system had the significant effect on the content of macronutrients and dry matter in the leaves, stems and tubers of sweet potato. The introduction of copper and zinc contributed to additional increase in the yield of sweet potato tubers and made it possible to increase the starch content in them, however, the maximum accumulation of monosaccharides (18.9%), the sum of sugars (36.8%) and inulin (7.5%) was obtained in the variant with the use of the complete mineral fertilizer on the organic background without micronutrient fertilizers.

Изучено влияние длительного применения удобрений на содержание ртути, мышьяка, стронция-90 и цезия-137 в черноземе выщелоченном и особенности их нахождения в почвах и растениях зерносвекловичного севооборота зоны неустойчивого увлажнения лесостепи ЦЧР. Установлено, что применяемые в течение длительного периода минеральные удобрения и навоз способствовали снижению в слое почвы 0-20 см на 4,94-13,7 % содержания подвижной ртути и на 6,44-12,9 % - стронция-90 относительно неудобренного варианта. Наибольшие изменения содержания токсичных металлов и радионуклидов отмечались в слое почвы 0-20 см, в нижележащем слое достоверных отличий не выявлено. Минимальное содержание ртути и мышьяка в слое почвы 0-40 см (0,0235-0,0243 и 0,365-0,375 мг/кг почвы соответственно) отмечалось при внесении N45 P45 K45 под сахарную свеклу в сочетании с 50 т/га навоза в пару, а также N190P190K190. Определено снижение накопление в основной продукции (относительно почвы) токсичных металлов ртути (в вариантах с 25 т/га навоза), мышьяка и радионуклида Cs-137 во всех удобренных вариантах. Различные дозы минеральных удобрений в сочетании с 25 т/га навоза в пару способствовали созданию отрицательного баланса мышьяка, Cs-137, Sr-90. Системы N90 P90 K90 и N135 P135 K135 под сахарную свеклу в сочетании с 25 т/га навоза в пару обеспечивали лучшее экологическое состояние свекловичного агроценоза.

Influence of long-term fertilizer application on the content of mercury, arsenic, strontium-90 and caesium-137 in leached chernozem and peculiarities of their presence in a grain-beet crop rotation of the Central Black-Earth Region forest-steppe unstable rainfall area were studied. It was revealed that mineral fertilizers and manure applied for a long period promoted decrease of mobile mercury (by 4.94-13.7 %) and strontium-90 (by 6.44-12.9 %) content in the soil layer of 0-20 cm as compared to the unfertilized variant. The greatest changes in the content of toxic metals and radionuclides were marked in the soil layer of 0-20 cm; in the underlying layer, reliable differences were not revealed. The minimal content of mercury and arsenic (0.0235-0.0243 and 0.365-0.375 mg/kg of soil, accordingly) in the soil layer of 0-40 cm was noted when applying N45P45K45 in combination with 50 ton/hectare of manure in fallow as well as N190P190K190 for sugar beet. Decrease of accumulation of toxic metals - mercury (in the variants with 25 ton/hectare of manure), arsenic - and radionuclides Cs-137 in the main products for all the fertilized variants was determined. Various doses of mineral fertilizers in combination with 25 ton/hectare of manure in fallow promoted development of negative balance of arsenic, Cs-137, and Sr-90. Systems of N90P90K90 and N135P135K135 for sugar beet in combination with 25 ton/hectare of manure in fallow provided the best ecological state of beet agrocenosis.

В настоящей статье приводятся результаты изучения влияния ионов меди в присутствии органических веществ на прорастание и структурные изменения огурца (Cucumis sativus L. сорт «Нежинский») на ранних этапах онтогенеза с использованием метода ИК-Фурье спектроскопии. Показано, что среда для биотестирования, содержащая 25 мг/л меди, вызывает угнетающее действие на проростки огурца, при этом происходят структурные изменения, обусловленные взаимодействиями растительных компонентов с ионами металла. На основании анализа ИК-Фурье спектров корней Cucumis sativus L. предположено, что катионы меди реализуют механизм проявления токсичности посредством связывания карбоксильных и фосфодиэфирных групп белков, свободных кислот и фосфатных производных. Совпадение характеристических частот амино- и карбоксильных групп в ИК-Фурье спектрах твердых продуктов, которые выделены из растворов, содержащих органические гуминоподобные вещества и те же вещества в присутствии Cu(II), свидетельствует об отсутствии сильного координационного взаимодействия между ионами меди и органическими веществами среды вследствие низкой хелатирующей способности последних.

The paper presents the results of spectroscopic study of copper ions effect in the presence of organic substances on seed germination and structural changes of cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L. 'Nezhinskiy' variety) in the early stages of ontogenesis. The biotest medium containing 25 mg/L of copper ions has been shown to cause inhibitory effect, with structural changes occurring due to interactions of plant components with metal ions. Based on the IR-Fourier transform analysis of spectra of Cucumis sativus L. roots, it is suggested that copper cations implement the mechanism of toxicity by binding carboxyl and phosphodiester groups of proteins, free acids and phosphates. Congruence of the characteristic frequencies of amino and carboxyl groups in IR-Fourier spectra of solid products isolated from solutions containing humin-like substances and the same substances in the presence of Cu (II), indicate no interaction between copper ions and organic substances in solutions due to their low chelating capacity.

Исследования проводили в зоне достаточного увлажнения Ставропольского края на черноземе обыкновенном в 2018-2019 гг. Изучали эффективность некорневых подкормок растений кукурузы в фазе 7-8 листьев азотсодержащими агрохимикатами Батр 40 Азот (3,0 л/га) и Вуксал Аминоплант (1,5 л/га) в сравнении с мочевиной (10 кг. д.в./га) на гибридах кукурузы разных групп спелости: среднераннем Машук 220 МВ и среднеспелом Машук 355 МВ. Максимальное повышение урожайности зеленой массы гибридов кукурузы в оба года исследований обеспечивал агрохимикат Батр 40 Азот. В 2018 г. максимальную существенную прибавку урожая зерна гибридов кукурузы получили при применении в подкормку удобрения Батр 40 Азот. Урожайность гибрида Машук 220 МВ повысилась на 0,51 т/га (10,3%), гибрида Машук 355 МВ - на 0,53 т/га (9,0%). В 2019 г. самую высокую существенную прибавку урожая зерна дала некорневая подкормка удобрением Вуксал Аминоплант, для гибрида Машук 220 МВ она была равна 0,81 т/га (11,6%), для гибрида Машук 355 МВ - 0,47 т/га (6,1%). Некорневые подкормки растений агрохимикатами наибольшую прибавку урожая зеленой массы и зерна дали на среднераннем гибриде Машук 220 МВ. Эффективность применения удобрений в подкормку была выше в более благоприятном по увлажнению 2019 г. Прибавки урожая зеленой массы и зерна двух гибридов кукурузы от применения мочевины для некорневой подкормки растений были несущественными.

The studies were carried out in the zone of sufficient moistening in the Stavropol region on ordinary black soil in 2018-2019. We studied the effectiveness of foliar nutrition of corn plants in the phase of 7-8 leaves with nitrogen-containing agrochemicals Batr 40 Nitrogen (3.0 l/ha) and Vuksal Aminoplant (1.5 l/ha) compared with calurea (10 kg reactant/ha) on corn hybrids of different ripeness groups: mid-early Mashuk 220 MV and mid-ripening Mashuk 355 MV. The maximum increase in the yield of green mass of corn hybrids was provided by the agrochemical Batr 40 Nitrogen in both years of research. In 2018, the maximum significant increase in the grain yield of corn hybrids was obtained when fertilizer Batr 40 Nitrogen was used as an additional fertilizing. The productivity of the Mashuk 220 MV hybrid increased by 0.51 t/ha (10.3%), the Mashuk 355 MV hybrid increased by 0.53 t/ha (9.0%). In 2019, the highest significant increase in grain yield was provided by foliar additional dressing with Vuksal Aminoplant, on the hybrid Mashuk 220 MV it was 0.81 t/ha (11.6%), on the hybrid Mashuk 355 MV - 0.47 t/ha (6.1%). Foliar additional dressing of plants with agrochemicals yielded the greatest increase in green mass and grain yield on the mid-early hybrid Mashuk 220 MV. The effectiveness of fertilizer application in additional dressing was higher in 2019, which was more favorable in moistening. The additions of the green mass and grain of two corn hybrids from the use of calurea for foliar additional dressing of plants were insignificant.
