Advantages of pear varieties with good regenerative ability after freezing in the conditions of the Southern Urals
Authors: Lezin Mihail Sergeevich
Published: August 2024

Abstract. A long period of consumer maturity and the keeping quality of pear fruits are qualities that, when crossed with wild, highly hardy species, are poorly manifested in hybrid offspring. The purpose of the work is to evaluate the quality of fruits and yields on pear varieties with different levels of winter hardiness in the conditions of the forest-steppe zone of the Chelyabinsk region. Methods. The study was conducted at the Chelyabinsk State Variety testing site for fruit and berry crops. The 2009 bookmark experience included 68 varieties and promising numbers, some of which were excluded from the discussion due to very low yields. Scientific novelty. With good regenerative ability, less hardy varieties with high fruit qualities are not inferior in yield to hardy varieties. Results. In the group of hardy varieties (with the highest freezing score of 2), fruits are often characterized by low fruit qualities, medium-sized, high content of stony cells and other disadvantages. In the group of insufficiently hardy varieties, there are significantly more varieties with high fruit qualities. In the group of hardy varieties, the average annual yield ranges from 29.3 c/ha (Lel’) to 171.6 c/ha (Kuyumskaya). In the group of slightly hardy varieties – from 23.6 c/ha (Zabava) to 100.1 c/ha (Zolotoy shar). With a difference in the average yield values for varieties (84.3 c/ha for hardy and 46.3 c/ha for weakly hardy), statistical processing did not reveal significant differences between the groups in the degree of winter hardiness. In the conditions of the Southern Urals, some varieties bred in northern latitudes are prone to maceration of the pulp at the time of maturation.

Published: August 2024

Abstract. The purpose of the study was to study the state of the immune system organs in hypotrophic piglets in the early neonatal period in an industrial pig breeding complex. Methods. The experiment was conducted in 2023 in a large industrial pig farm in the Voronezh region on piglets of the wounded neonatal period received from sows 3-4 farrowing. The sows were kept at optimal microclimate parameters, taking into account their physiological state, and fed with SK-1 nutritionally balanced feed. At the initial stage of the experiment, the piglets obtained during farrowing underwent clinical examination and weighing. Animals under 800 g are counted as hypotrophic piglets (n = 30), animals over 800 g are normotrophic, respectively (n =30). After the groups were formed, animals were forced to be slaughtered before taking colostrum (n =5) and biological material was taken from each group (thymus, lymph nodes (inguinal), spleen for immunohistochemical studies. Results. The level of mitotic activity in the thymus of normotrophic piglets was 9.4 % higher (p < 0.05) than in piglets with body weight deficiency. In the spleen, the level of mitotic activity had no significant differences and was approximately the same in all animals participating in the experiment. In lymph nodes, the mitotic activity of cells in normotrophics was 12.7 % higher (p < 0.05). A study of positively expressed CD-3 cells in the spleen revealed significant differences, so, in normotrophic piglets, the number of cells positively stained with this marker was significantly higher than in piglets with a body weight deficiency by 10.2 % (p < 0.05). The number of CD-3 cells in the thymus differed by 5.6 %, and in the lymph nodes by 2.4 % between the groups, but there were no significant differences. The cellular expression of “immature” forms of B lymphocytes (PAX-5) in the lymph nodes of normotrophics was significantly higher by 12.9 % (p < 0.05) compared with hypotrophic piglets. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time a comprehensive immunohistochemical study of the organs of the immune system of piglets in the early neonatal period was carried out using monoclanal antibodies CD-3, Ki-67 and PAX-5. As a result of the experiment, it was revealed that piglets with body weight deficiency have a “depression” of the immune system, which manifests itself in hypoplasia of T-lymphocytes in the spleen, “maturing” B-lymphocytes in the lymph nodes and low mitotic potential in the thymus and lymph nodes.
Grain production efficiency in the conditions of climate change in the Trans-Urals
Authors: Stepnyh N. , Nesterova E. , Zargaryan A.
Published: August 2024

Abstract. The economic efficiency of grain production is determined by the level of return on the resources spent by the cost of the products received. Weather factors play an important role. Climate changes in the Trans-Urals are primarily associated with the warming of the spring and summer months, increased aridity of the growing season and the expansion of the boundary of this process from the southeast to the northwest. The contrast in moisture availability of different years is combined with uneven precipitation in the region throughout the year. The profitability of farms in the production of grain crops is characterized by the same heterogeneity. The purpose of the study is to establish the economic efficiency of grain production in the context of climate change using the example of the Trans-Urals. The tasks are to analyze the impact of climate change on the yield of grain crops in the region, to analyze the efficiency of resource use by agricultural enterprises; using the example of the most highly profitable farms to identify factors to increase the efficiency of grain production. The methods of monographic and statistical analysis of data from scientific literature, open statistical sources, agronomic and economic reports of agricultural enterprises were used. The scientific novelty of the research consists in studying the efficiency of grain production in the context of climate change and in relation to the volatility of grain prices and means of production. The results of the study showed that since the early 2000s, despite a significant increase in the use of fertilizers, the growth of grain yields has stopped, which is primarily due to the deterioration of plant moisture conditions. At the same time, an increase in costs, although it leads to an increase in productivity, but to a lesser extent, as a result, the cost of grain increases, and the profitability of production decreases. Enterprises have been identified that, in the conditions of climate change and high volatility of grain prices and resources, have found ways to efficiently produce grain: replace solid fertilizers with liquid fertilizers, apply effective, including agrotechnical, methods of tillage and plant protection, use highly productive varieties, obtaining the highest profitability in the region.

Published: August 2024

People have a significant need to consume fruits in daily life. Overall, the pulp of the fruit is the only part that is utilized; thus far, fruit rind is rarely utilized and is merely wasted. Similarly, whenever it relates to vegetables, only the desirable sections are picked; the tougher sections, such as the stems, are usually eliminated. Potential raw materials for the production of eco enzyme (which can be used as liquid organic fertilizer) abounds in the profusion of fruit and vegetable waste. Typically, organic waste is neglected, resulting in an offensive odor that affects the environment's cleanliness and may pose health risks. In an attempt to mitigate the adverse effects caused by organic waste, alternative raw materials for the production of liquid organic fertilizer and eco-enzymes may be derived from fruit and vegetable peel waste. The production process of eco enzyme commences with the segregation of organic waste, which will serve as its main material. Subsequently, blend the components in the suggested proportions (1 part sugar/molasses to 3 parts organic matter to 10 parts water). Three months after the mixture is complete, eco-enzymes may be harvested. The collaborators of this community service endeavor consist of housewives, beverage vendors, and organic waste-focused community organizations. Encouraging economic and social autonomy in the community is the objective of this Community Service Program activity, to educate and raise awareness among the general public regarding the proper disposal of organic garbage in order to create a more sanitary and habitable environment and a greener planet, enhance both soft and physical skills while fostering greater social harmony and comfort.

На основі узагальнення досліджень науковців запропонувати заходи по удосконаленню теоретичного підґрунтя інноваційної діяльності в сільському господарстві. Для досягнення мети дисертаційного дослідження було використано загальнонаукові та спеціальні методи, зокрема: логіко-семантичний (для уточнення понятійного апарату інноваційної діяльності в сільському господарстві); системного узагальнення (при напрямів удосконалення реалізації інновацій в сільському господарстві); абстрактно-логічний (для теоретичного узагальнення та формування висновків). Обґрунтовано основні етапи інноваційного процесу в сільському господарстві створення інновацій, їх поширення та освоєння товаровиробниками. При цьому етап поширення можна умовно розбити на дві стадії: перше поширення нововведення (доведення інформації про нього до товаровиробника) та подальше поширення нововведення (дифузія інновацій). Етап поширення охоплює різні напрями та конкретні канали проникнення нововведень в сільськогосподарське виробництво, серед яких важливе місце займають: функціонування органів управління аграрним сектором, підготовка та перепідготовка кадрів керівників, фахівців та працівників масових професій, а також розвиток інформаційно -пропагандистської діяльності. У сучасних умовах цьому етапу не приділяють належної уваги. На основі узагальнення наукових досліджень запропонований авторський підхід до розуміння «інноваційний розвиток», як сукупність організаційно-правових та економічних відносин, що виникають у процесі інноваційної діяльності. Встановлено, що результати впровадження інноваційних рішень суттєво залежить від інноваційного підприємництва. Під ним слід розуміти такий вид підприємницької діяльності, який спрямований на створення та комплексне використання нововведень, що сприяють в умовах підвищеного ризику інвестування отримання прибутку та збільшення науково-технічного потенціалу території за рахунок розвитку виробництв, трансферту технологій, підвищення конкурентоспроможності та наукомісткості продукції шляхом формування нового стилю управління та мотивації творчих здібностей та ділової активності суб'єктів господарювання.

Published: August 2024

Lightning is a natural occurrence which is created through the mixture of hot and cold air in the cloud. Sudden occurrence of lightning has caused damages to many lives and properties, for this reason; there is a need to develop a system that can predict lighting occurrence for people to take necessary precaution. However, accurately predicting lightning has been a challenge among researchers, as they find it difficult to select the right approach and algorithms to use when predicting lightning. Thus, this paper presents a systematic literature review on the best techniques for lightning prediction by reviewing relevant papers that are systematically collected based on the inclusion and the exclusion criteria from four different academic databases which includes Scopus, IEEE Xplore, Science direct, and SpringerLink. The findings from the review shows that the Random Forest algorithm is mostly used for lightning prediction and has generally out performed all other algorithms that have been used in lightning prediction in remote region. Also the review finds out that there is an inverse relationship between predicting system accuracy and lead time. Another observation in the research is that numerical weather prediction predicts more accurately compare to geo satellite prediction.

Background: Tree nuts and peanuts (henceforth, nuts) are nutrient-dense foods rich in neuroprotective components; thus, their consumption could benefit cognitive health. However, evidence to date is limited and inconsistent regarding the potential benefits of nuts for cognitive function.

Objective: To prospectively evaluate the association between nut consumption and 2-y changes in cognitive performance in older adults at cognitive decline risk.

Methods: A total of 6,630 participants aged 55 to 75 y (mean age 65.0±4.9 y, 48.4% women) with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome completed a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests at baseline and a 2-y follow-up. Composite cognitive scores were used to assess global, general, attention, and executive function domains. Nut consumption was categorized as <1, ≥1 to <3, ≥3 to <7, and ≥7 servings/wk (1 serving=30 g). Multivariable-adjusted linear regression models were fitted to assess associations between baseline nut consumption and 2-y cognitive changes.

Results: Nut consumption was positively associated with 2-y changes in general cognitive function (P-trend <0.001). Compared with participants consuming <1 serving/wk of nuts, those categorized as consuming ≥3 to <7 and ≥7 servings/wk showed more favorable changes in general cognitive performance (β z-score [95% CI] = 0.06 [0.00,0.12] and 0.13 [0.06,0.20], respectively). No significant changes were observed in the multivariable-adjusted models for other cognitive domains assessed.

Conclusion: Frequent nut consumption was associated with a smaller decline in general cognitive performance over 2 y in older adults at risk of cognitive decline. Randomized clinical trials to verify our findings are warranted.

Published: August 2024

In higher education programming courses, students often perform individual practical activities using their own devices, resulting in varying conditions and difficulty in ensuring proper application of the taught concepts. Limited access to equipment further hampers student progress. To address these challenges, implementing the Scrum framework in programming courses is proposed. Scrum offers problem-solving approaches emphasizing collaboration, self-organization, and cross-functional teams for effective teamwork and optimal solutions. However, existing project management tools like Trello and Notion, although free, have limitations when applied to Scrum. Trello lacks multi-sprint support, while Notion's complex customization features complicate usability. To overcome these limitations, this research aims to develop an application specifically tailored to Scrum practices. The objective is to design and create a comprehensive application that serves as both a learning platform and a project management tool. By leveraging this application, students will be able to enhance their learning experience and perform better project management, ensuring effective collaboration and communication among team members. The proposed application will address the limitations of existing tools and provide a seamless Scrum implementation within the programming course. Ultimately, the research seeks to improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency of programming education by empowering students with a robust and user-friendly platform that aligns with the Scrum framework.

The reign of Indonesia's Old Order lasted for about 23 years, from 1945 to 1968 under the leadership of President Soekarno. The economic situation in the early days of independence (1945-1949) was quite bad, including various problems such as very high inflation, the Dutch economic cessation since November 1945, and massive exploitation during the colonial period. However, during the old order, President Soekarno had a development strategy based on this development plan. This development plan put more emphasis on political development efforts where at that time the government was trying to maintain national independence. In 1947 the government started planning by making a Three-Year Production Plan for the Republic of Indonesia in 1948, 1949, and 1950. This program focused on agriculture, animal husbandry, industry, forestry, and other programs.

In this study, the low-carbon steel (AISI 1018 mild steel) substrate is coated with the aluminum alloys AA6082-T6, Al-20Zn, and Al-2Si-15SiC to improve its corrosion resistance by the friction surfacing (FS) technique. To produce a high-quality coating, friction surfacing process variables including spin speed, speed of travel, and the rate of feed are crucial. This experiment examines twelve friction-surfaced plates with different parameter combinations. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) examinations were carried out in order to comprehend the microstructure and chemical composition of the coating deposits and the area in contact between the coated surface and the substrate. Microstructure investigation reveals that the intermetallic combination of Fe-Al at the coating interface region is an effect of the elemental diffusion of Fe to aluminum at the contact interface. Then a uniform and fine-grained coating deposit is observed as a result of the continuous recrystallization of the consumable rod under frictional stress and heat generation. According to the outcomes of the microhardness test, the coated surface is roughly 15–16% harder than the consumable rod. The coating bond strength was measured using a ram tensile test, and it ranged from 102 MPa to 135 MPa. Finally, evaluation of corrosion behavior through immersion testing and pitting corrosion testing reveals that the coatings made of Al-20Zn and Al-2Si-15SiC exhibit good corrosive resistance in an alkaline environment.

We investigated the effects of binge drinking on maximal strength, time to exhaustion during a high-intensity isometric fatigue protocol, and neuromuscular responses of the elbow flexor muscles. Ten young male participants were randomized in two conditions: (1) alcohol consumption (ALC) or (2) placebo consumption (PLA). In each condition, volunteers ingested 1g of alcohol per kg of body mass of alcoholic beer (ALC) or non-alcoholic beer (PLA). Neuromuscular performance (elbow flexors peak torque and time to exhaustion – TTE - during an isometric fatigue protocol at 70% of peak torque) and EMG parameters (amplitude and median frequency) of biceps brachii (BB) and brachioradialis (BRA) were assessed before and after drink ingestion. A breath alcohol concentration of 1.1 ± 0.25 mg/L was observed in ALC condition. Torque was similar between-conditions (p = 0.76) and condition*moment interaction (p = 0.92), with a significant reduction in post in both conditions (p = 0.01; ALC: -4.4%; PLA: -4.7%). TTE and maximal EMG amplitude of BB were not affected by conditions and moments (p > 0.05). Maximal EMG amplitude of BRA was reduced in post in both conditions (ALC: -16.4%; PLA: -14.6%). EMG amplitude of BB and BRA during the fatigue protocol, the behavior was similar between moments and conditions (p > 0.05) and we only observed an increase during protocol (p < 0.05). Median frequency of BB was higher in PLA compared to ALC (+9.8%). Decreases were observed in both muscles during protocol (p < 0.001). Our results revealed that binge drinking did not alter maximal strength, time to exhaustion during high-intensity isometric fatigue protocol, and neuromuscular responses.

Background: Innovation is an integral part of cardiac surgery. A number of natural barriers had to be overcome by the cardiac surgery pioneers to establish open heart surgeries in the 1950s. Since then, surgeons are continuously developing and adopting various innovative techniques to ensure safety and efficacy of cardiac surgery. The Department of Cardiac Surgery of Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) has some unique characteristics as it was developed isolated from the centers of Dhaka. A few interesting methods are in practice here, which worth mentioning for the outside readers. Some of these procedures have been colloquially named in our department often after the visiting surgeon or the team who introduced those here.
Methods: The unique and unusual techniques applied in CMCH were sought and discussed. The hospital records, OT operation notes and ICU log books were thoroughly searched for any clue. The local and visiting team members were interviewed for any information. All available data were compiled and analyzed.
Results: Six interesting and useful named surgical techniques adopted in CMCH Cardiac Surgery Department were identified. These are: 1. Marine city ASD Closure Technique, 2. Tendolkar’s Maneuver during CPB, 3. Turkish Sling in CABG, 4. Petlar Stitch in VSD closure, 5. Pyongyang Method of LA Closure and 6. NAK-NAKA De-calcification Procedure for valve surgery. The first two were introduced with the help of visiting Indian Professor Anil Tendolkar, whereas the 3rd was introduced by a visiting Turkish team. The 4th technique was adopted from a pediatric cardiac surgeon from Dhaka. The 5th and 6th techniques have long been in practice at NICVD, which were adopted with some modification in our department.
Conclusion: The above mentioned six reproducible techniques are unique and useful. Sharing and discussion of these techniques will enable other Bangladeshi surgeons to adopt these useful tips.
