This article discusses the behavioral change communications used during COVID-19. The pandemic left its impact not only on people's health, but also on people's lifestyles and daily behavior, creating a "new normal". The concept of "new normal" is used today in the context of COVID-19: what used to be abnormal and unacceptable is now becoming commonplace. Changing the behavioral norms is at the core of fighting the pandemic, which includes building skills, capacity and motivation. Once the barriers to behavior change are identified, it is possible to ensure the desired behavioral change. The scientifically studied behavior change methods include a range of approaches, from education to role modeling. One of the most difficult obstacles to overcome is social stereotypes. The main goals of the behavior change strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic were to contribute to the dissemination of anti-pandemic rules and increase of the vaccination level. In the context of behavioral change communications, experts argued that there is still no clearly proven effective treatment for the coronavirus; the only way to reduce deaths is vaccination. The analysis of measures taken to promote the vaccination process in Armenia shows that some of them were repressive; instead of overcoming stereotypes and reinforcing positive experiences, the vaccination became a means of avoiding economic harm, the emotional context of fear was used instead of positive emotions.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and restoration of the independence Russian Federation has developed 5 foreign policy doctrines (1993, 2000, 2008, 2013, 2016). Right after the restoration of the independence the main purpose of the foreign policy doctrines was to adapt to the new realities and fix Russia’s role in it. Later, it was changed. The main goal became the realization of multipolar policies, including cooperation with China, India, and other countries.
It is worth mentioning that in all Doctrines special importance has been attributed to the post-soviet region, including the South Caucasus. On the one hand Moscow was actively cooperating with the South Caucasian States, from the other hand it was trying to engage in existing conflict resolution formats as a mediator. Simultaneously Russia was pushing South Caucasian States to engage in the ongoing integration initiatives

The relevance of the article is determined by the fact that, in accordance with the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation № 678-r «On approval of the Concept for the development of additional education for children until 2030», it became mandatory to open Media Centers in each educational institution by December 2024. The purpose of the article is to determine the methodological foundations of the functioning of such media centers and disclose the experience of one of them - the Sok media studio in Irkutsk. In the international information space, media education began to be actively discussed in the 1970s, UNESCO began to actively develop this area and hold international conferences on media education. Media education and media literacy are closely related terms. At the same time, media education is the process of personality development, media literacy is the result of media education. In Russia, media education developed in parallel with juvenile journalism. There were separate directions and scientific schools. In Russian educational institutions, media education is optional, but is carried out at the meta-subject level. In the article, juvenile journalism is considered as part of media education, the result of which is an increase in the level of media literacy of adolescents. In the Russian Federation, there are currently many officially registered and unofficial juvenile media. In the Irkutsk region, there is no single register of juvenile media associations, and there is no way to accurately calculate how many children and adolescents are covered by this type of activity. The article describes the media studio «SOK» MAOU DO Irkutsk «Station of young naturalists», its advantages and disadvantages are identified. The work will be useful to the heads of existing juvenile associations and teenage editorial offices and media educators who are at the stage of conceiving or creating a juvenile editorial office.
«TOXIC MEDIA TEXT» AS A NEW TERM: AN EXPERIENCE IN CONCEPT ANALYSIS

Mediatization of reality in its social and personal dimensions, strengthening and at the same time latency of the aggressive-conflict principle in virtual public communication, expansion of the sphere of destructive actions and their results in connection with the increase in the number of such communication fields and their actors lead to the emergence of new objects of the social world and their nominations. One of the important concepts of our time is becoming “toxic media text”, which, firstly, conceptualizes a shift in mass media communication towards pressure on the psyche of the recipient with the help of various verbal and non-verbal means, and secondly, contributes to the establishment of new forms of communication in any other communication systems. The work attempts to state a new concept and, accordingly, a new term, the emergence of which is due to the challenges of the time. The purpose of the work is to give a meaningful description of the new term “toxic media text” based on the method of concept analysis; free writing became an additional research method. The appeal to the linguoconcept as a relevant methodological unit of cognitive order is due to the fact that it accumulates information from the linguistic, social, cultural, psycho-emotional and other spheres. Based on the analysis of lexicographic sources, it can be argued that the construct “toxic media text” has an international status, conceptualizes ideas about the text transmitted through any media channel that causes harm (mental and even physical) to the interlocutor. It is based on bodily and morbid metaphors, figuratively representing the social effect of a toxic media text at different levels of its existence, different levels of its organization. Its explanatory potential equally consists of rational and emotional components. Today, the nomination “toxic media text”, which names the corresponding mental construct, can claim the status of a term, since, firstly, the proposed terminological unit is associated with a new, separate phenomenon of socio-cultural reality and, accordingly, with a new scientific concept, and secondly, it has such terminological features as borrowing, specialty, special metaphoricality, the purpose of which in scientific discourse is to convey differentiating meanings (“poisonous”, “toxic”) most accurately through familiar and understandable images and thus distinguish this concept from related ones, denoting other forms of verbal aggression.

Published: January 2025

Creative industries as a driver of economic development in modern conditions are generally becoming a sustainable priority of our country. Training specialists in the field of Advertising and Public Relations with creative approaches to solving professional problems is one of the priorities for higher education institutions implementing such programs. The article highlights the disciplines of the curriculum, the mastering of which helps to solve this problem, notes the disciplines in which it is possible to partially integrate the creative component, which leads to an increase in interest and motivation for mastering the curriculum on the part of students. An example of the implementation of a project that helped students to creatively approach its solution is described. The project was developed based on the results of a study among representatives of employer companies, which included both companies producing goods and services, and agencies of various specializations. The study revealed practical skills that require more intensive training. Creative skills were noted by employers as necessary for a specialist in the field of advertising, but insufficiently developed in the training process. Upon completion of the project, a survey was conducted among students about the skills they acquired during their participation in the project; many focused on creativity and everything related to it. The survey of project participants allowed us to compare the expectations of employers and the vision of the students who took part in the project. Further improvement of project activities will help to produce more sought-after specialists in the field of creative industries in the modern labor market.

Authors: GORODNICHEVA M.A.
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study is to identify the thematic and genre features of the scientific and educational content of the illustrated children’s magazine «Mayak» (1909-1918). A review of modern studies devoted to the history of journalism shows that pre-revolutionary periodicals for children and adolescents remain poorly studied, especially publications from the early twentieth century. In the course of preparing this article, a detailed analysis of the contents of the magazine «Mayak» was carried out, which contributes to the study of the history of children’s magazine press and popular science journalism. Educational publications were a permanent part of the magazine, the main thematic areas were geography, natural science, technical sciences and inventions, history and linguistics. Descriptions of travel and natural phenomena, flora and fauna occupied a significant place on the pages of the publication, helped to develop cognitive activity, careful attitude to nature, social responsibility. Ethnographic essays and stories aroused interest in the culture of different countries and regions, spread the ideas of international brotherhood and intercultural dialogue. The magazine published biographies of outstanding people, essays and discussions about various phenomena and discoveries in the fields of natural sciences and technology. The educational focus also determined the formation of the literary and artistic section: realistic stories and novellas echoed the natural science and technical parts of the publication. The magazine promoted an active perception of reality, was distinguished by pragmatism, and many publications were of an applied nature. The magazine paid special attention to visual accompaniment of texts, publishing many illustrations. Active educational work, various topics and forms of popular science publications determine the prominent place of the magazine «Mayak» in the system of children’s and youth periodicals of the early twentieth century.
SPECIFICITY OF MEDIA HYPERLOCALITY OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MONUMENT ARKAIM
Authors: SAFONOV A.V.
Published: January 2025

The article substantiates the possibility of perceiving the landscape of the archaeological site Arkaim a) as a media text, where the phenomenon of literariness is reflected; b) as a hyperlocal media. At the same time, in addition to the territorial criterion of media hyperlocality, the thematic-functional criterion is also considered. It is suggested that the second criterion corresponds to media, the content of which a) is localized in an emphatically narrow topic, presented in several stable sub-thematic aspects; b) is aimed not so much at generalized information, as at solving applied problems of a humanitarian or other nature that are relevant to the audience representative. Expressed and maximally concretized functionality distinguishes hyperlocal media (according to the thematic-functional criterion) from specialized or ordinary narrow-thematic media. It is argued that the subject matter of Arkaim as a media is divided into specific headings - clear and stable sub-thematic facets (including history as a science, «place of power», etc.), in the planes of which various functions are implemented - from education to the search for identity. The article also identifies the sources of problems in the representation of Arkaim in traditional media, as well as possible ways to solve them. Using Arkaim as an example, the potential of hyperlocality is considered as a condition for a particular media to fulfill its social and value-forming function.
GENERATION OF STRONGLY CONTINUOUS RESOLVING FAMILIES OF OPERATORSFOR EQUATIONS WITH A DISTRIBUTED DERIVATIVE
Authors: FILIN N.V.
Published: January 2025

Conditions for a linear closed operator are obtained in terms of the location of its resolvent set and estimates for its resolvent and its derivatives, which are necessary and sufficient to generate a strongly continuous resolving family of operators by this operator. Some properties of such resolving families are proved, and a theorem on the unique solvability of the Cauchy problem for the corresponding linear inhomogeneous equation is obtained. The results are used to prove the unique solvability of initial boundary value problems for equations with polynomials of a self-adjoint elliptic differential operator with respect to spatial variables and with a distributed derivative in time.

Kehidupan dunia saat ini berhadapan dengan kasus kerusakan ekologi. Untuk itu, dibutuhkan upaya untuk pencegahannya yang awalnya dimulai dengan mengubah  paradigma atau cara pandang sehingga berujung pada bagaimana sikap kita mendekati alam. Apakah kita akan tetap berpegang pada sikap antroposentrisme ataukah memilih untuk bersikap ekosentrisme dan teosentrisme tetapi dalam keadaan yang berpura-pura seakan kita peduli terhadap alam padahal sebenarnya kita sendiri merusak tatanan ciptaan Allah itu? Ataukah kita melihat ciptaan sebagai saudara kita yang Allah ciptakan untuk memuji kemuliaan-Nya? Untuk itu, dalam  tulisan ini akan mengkaji tentang konsep Ekomarturia yang diharapkan dapat melengkapi bahkan memperbarui konsep pendekatan terhadap alam. Peneliti menggunakan metode kajian kualitatif dengan peendekatan kajian pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa alam merupakan saudara kita sebagai suatu keutuhan ciptaan yang juga tercipta untuk bersaksi dan menceritakan perbuatan tangan Allah. Pendekatan tersebut dinamakan Ekomarturia dengan menggunakan teori berdasarkan Ensiklik Laudato Si‘, pemahaman Calvin, dan teori Perikhoresis.

Authors: Madawana Ashwini M , Raghavan Santhi , Nawi Mohamad Arif Awang
Published: January 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted healthcare workers, particularly those on the front lines in high-contagion areas. This single centred study evaluated the mental health challenges faced by healthcare workers in a private hospital during the pandemic. Utilizing quantitative methods, data were collected from 100 healthcare workers involved in the COVID vaccination program, focusing on variables such as work stress, burnout, self-efficacy, work-life balance, and depression. The findings reveal that 60.46% of healthcare employees experienced moderate fear of COVID-19, with significant levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment. The study also highlights a strong correlation between medical treatment and stress, as well as the negative impact of extended work hours on work-life balance. Additionally, the results underscore the importance of psychological support and institutional measures in mitigating the mental health burden on healthcare workers. This research contributes to the understanding of the psychological toll of COVID-19 on healthcare professionals and provides recommendations for improving their well-being through better organizational support and mental health interventions.
In-between the Uncertainties: Ted Hughes and the Art of Negative Capability
Authors: Çakar Emre
Published: January 2025

This paper deals with the analysis of the poems of Ted Hughes (1930-1998) from John Keats’ term, Negative Capability. In one of his letters to his brother, Keats writes that Negative Capability is such a state in which a poet is “capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries and doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason” (1817/2005, p. 60). Moreover, poets, according to Keats, have no steady character, they must have a metamorphic identity like a chameleon to adapt themselves to troublesome situations. Keatsian Negative Capability allows the reader to interpret Hughes’ poems from two distinct perspectives, one is about Hughes’ personal life with his wife, Sylvia Plath, and the other one is his public persona in England. This paper aims to reveal Hughes’ struggle with the difficulties both in his personal and public life and interpret his poems to display how he was negatively capable of surviving amid the tragedy of human existence and how he turned his suffering into a work of art in his poems such as “The Hawk in the Rain,” “Wodwo” and “Thought Fox.”

Authors: Nakış Elçin , Özbay Ali Şükrü
Published: January 2025

Drawing on corpus stylistics techniques, we analysed Nights of Plague and A Journal of the Plague Year by comparatively uncovering the keywords, clusters, and thematic signals by dint of Sketch Engine as an innovative corpus tool. Analysing each novel centering around “plague, political issues, fear, and panic in England and Minger Island”, the study attempted to explore how Defoe and Pamuk represent the plague through characters and events. Top-down and bottom-up approaches followed statistical and contextual patterns and associations based on the analysis of “perception of disease.” Log-likelihood and frequency contributed to the interpretation of the data. The main theme of “plague” affects both the characters and events and is explored in terms of the impact of disease, highlighting similarities and differences in commonly used lexical patterns. This analysis brings a recent global perspective to the concept of “plague” by examining its devastating effects.
Alienation in Maryse Condé’s Le Cœur à Rire et à Pleurer
Authors: Avcı Cansu
Published: January 2025

Postcolonialism is a theoretical framework that problematizes the legacy of colonialism through the lenses of sociology, psychology, and literature. Postcolonial literature, exploring the enduring impact of colonialism on literary works addresses themes such as identity, exile, and alienation. Frantz Fanon was one of the most prominent thinkers of the 20th century with his anti-colonial works, which dealt with the problems created by colonialism on both an individual and a cultural level. Fanon, exploring the alienation of colonized peoples from their own origins, asserts that true freedom can be attained when individuals liberate themselves from this imposed sense of otherness. Maryse Condé, one of the leading figures of French postcolonial literature, delves into the search for identity among those who have endured the experiences of slavery, colonialism, and exile. The aim of this study is to analyze the concept of alienation in Maryse Condé's autobiographical storybook, Le Cœur à Rire et à Pleurer, within the framework of Frantz Fanon's postcolonial theory.

O Projeto Genoma Humano (1990), foi um programa internacional público que buscou mapear o genoma humano e conhecer as funções de cada gene. Um incentivo mundial para a produção científica, resultando em grandes avanços tecnológicos na área de sequenciamento genético, impulsionando a evolução das técnicas do método Sanger (anos 70) até as de Sequenciamento de Nova Geração (NGS) atualmente usadas. Técnica esta, amplamente utilizada nas tipagens genéticas de HLA, dado de suma importância para o sucesso de transplantes de órgãos e tecidos, principalmente medula óssea, onde a compatibilidade deve ser de quase 100%. A pesquisa apresenta a frequência alélica e perfil HLA populacional capixaba, com base em quatro anos de aplicação da técnica de NGS no Estado do Espírito Santo. Foi analisado o perfil genético HLA da população capixaba por meio de 10.237 laudos de tipagem genética realizados entre 2020 e 2024 no único laboratório de histocompatibilidade do Estado do Espírito Santo. Utilizando os dados de NGS do software de análise TSV, as frequências alélicas foram comparadas a populações internacionais. Os alelos mais frequentes corresponderam majoritariamente a populações europeias e descendentes caucasianos, com uma presença de perfis asiáticos, apesar da baixa representação de indivíduos asiáticos no Estado. Observou-se, ainda, uma significativa ocorrência do alelo HLA-B*51:01:01, associado ao risco de Doença de Behçet, indicando a necessidade de novos estudos para investigar a predisposição genética a essa condição entre os capixabas. Com isso, o estudo contribuiu para o entendimento genético local, auxiliando a saúde pública em campanhas de doação e transplantes.
Impact of Telemedicine Adoption on Patient Satisfaction during Post-Pandemic Healthcare Delivery in Ethiopia
Authors: Tadesse Milo
Published: January 2025

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of telemedicine adoption on patient satisfaction during post-pandemic healthcare delivery.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Telemedicine has improved patient satisfaction by increasing accessibility, reducing travel and wait times, and offering flexible appointments. Patients appreciated the convenience, but challenges like digital literacy gaps, limited internet access, and data privacy concerns affected satisfaction for some. Personalized provider communication significantly boosted positive experiences. Disparities in satisfaction were observed, with older adults and low-income groups facing more barriers.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Technology acceptance model (TAM), diffusion of innovations theory & expectation-confirmation theory (ECT) may be used to anchor future studies on the impact of telemedicine adoption on patient satisfaction during post-pandemic healthcare delivery. Telemedicine platforms should be developed with a user-centric approach, emphasizing simplicity, accessibility, and adaptability to meet the needs of diverse patient populations, including older adults and those with limited digital skills.  Policymakers should also introduce incentives such as subsidies for technology upgrades and reimbursement parity between telemedicine and in-person visits to encourage widespread adoption.

Published: January 2025

В работе рассмотрены вопросы повышения конкурентоспособности национальной экономики путём роста производительности труда с точки зрения влияющего фактора расходов на рабочую силу. Повышение затрат на фонд оплаты труда и иные виды материальной поддержки трудового коллектива являются мощным средством мотивации, что, однако, необходимо подтвердить статистическими методами. Исходя из этой гипотезы, основной целью исследования был поиск корреляционных связей между расходами на 1 сотрудника и эффективностью их труда. Под производительностью: объём произведённой продукции, суммарный доход и прибыль компаний. А затраты на рабочую силу составлялись не только из фонда оплаты труда, но также включали в себя все виды расходов работодателей на работников, включая налоги. Выбранный расширенный подход позволил сформировать более объективный взгляд на проблематику взаимного влияния расходов на труд на производительность труда. Корреляционно-регрессионный анализ производился в двух направлениях: межотраслевом и региональном. В целом оба варианта анализа показали высокий уровень влияния расходов на рабочую силу на производительность труда, что может служить отправной точкой для выработки конкретных решений по повышению эффективности функционирования национальной экономики.
Таким образом, итоги исследования значительно расширяют инструментарий управленческих решений, как в масштабах всей страны, так и на уровне крупных компаний и корпораций.
Ключевые слова: динамика, дифференциация регионов, отраслевой анализ, производительность труда, эффективность.

Бүгінгі бәсекелестік жағдайында бренд жай ғана атау ғана емес, ол өнімге бірегейлік қосатын, тұтынушылардың қабылдауымен қалыптасатын және тұтынушылардың өнім таңдауында бағыт-бағдар беретін шаруашылық субъектісі болып табылады. Бренд - бұл бизнес пен тұтынушы арасындағы қарым-қатынасты жасайтын және қалыптастыратын құрал. Сонымен қатар, бүгінде бизнестің зияткерлік капиталы саналатын брендтер өнімнен тәуелсіз коммерциялық құрылымға айналды. Сондықтан, кәсіпкерлер үшін бренд пен брендинг процестері бүкіл бизнестің қатысуын талап ететін бірқатар әрекеттерді талап етеді.
Зерттеудің мақсаты бренд ұғымын, оның функцияларын және бренд құрылымын түсіндіріп, жаһандық брендтердің бренд құндылықтарын бағалау болып табылады.
Зерттеу әдістемесі әдіснамалық жалпылау және жүйелік талдау тұрғысынан негізделеді. Зерттеуде брендтің жай ғана атау емес, ол басқаруды қажет ететін актив екеніне назар аударылады. Әлемдегі жаһандық брендтердің құндылықтары және олардың құндылықтарындағы өзгерістер қарастырылды.
Зерттеу нәтижесінде қазіргі бәсекелес заманда бренд жасау өте қиын деп айтуға болады. Бұл тәртіпті жұмыс пен брендті дұрыс басқаруды талап етеді. Бренд табысты болуы үшін ол бәсекелестерден ерекшеленуі және тұтынушымен анық орналасуы керек. Брендті басқарудағы бірінші әрекет брендті тұтынушы санасында орналастыру болып табылады. Бәсекелестіктің күшеюіне байланысты компаниялар ұзақ уақыт бойы өмір сүру үшін инновациялар енгізіп, нарықтағы позицияларын жаңа өнімдермен үнемі нығайтуы керек.

Diaphragmatic hernia is a fairly rare phenomenon, even more so when it is acquired.
Post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia often causes real diagnostic errors delaying
timely treatment. Early recognition of the condition is often difficult or almost impossible
even in the best trauma centers and may remain latent and unrecognized for a long
time. Constituting an unusual condition, which may contribute to serious
consequences, clinicians should be aware of a high index of suspicion for its
possibility, particularly in patients with a history of thoraco-abdominal trauma. Given
the risk of incarceration, surgery is the standard treatment for the pathology. Although
it basically involves open procedures, more and more reports attest to promising
results for the minimally invasive laparoscopic approach. We present the case of a
patient who developed symptoms consistent with intestinal obstruction and whose
evaluation revealed an incarcerated delayed post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia and
who was treated urgently with successful laparoscopic surgery. This report highlights
an interesting presentation, especially highlighting the crucial importance of
awareness of context. Current literature is reviewed to discuss the characteristics of
this scenario and its management.

For patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) treated with Brentuximab vedotin (BV),
quality of life (QoL) depends primarily on the effectiveness of treatment, side effects
management, the psychological impact of diagnosis and treatment, and how the
constraints associated with drug delivery affect their daily lives. The main objective is
to evaluate Qol using the Europeen Organization For Research and Treatment of
Cancer questionnaire in HL patients under BV at the UHEO to improve overall patient
management and optimize therapeutic outcomes throughout their treatment path care.
Materials and methods. The study included patients from different regions of Algeria
who had been treated at the UHEO’s hematology department with HL under BV since
January 2024. Questionnaires assessing various aspects such as potentially quality of
life, were completed by the patients themselves. Results. In total 28 patients were
included, 57.15% were women. The average age of the population was 33+/-17 years
with extremes of 15 and 72. A statistically significant difference was found between
the items of the QLQ-HL27 as well as for the items of the QLQ-C30 according to age,
gender, region and stage of disease (p<0.05). No influence of age was found on
diarrhea (p=0.10), nor any statistical difference between pain (p=0.78) and financial
impact (p=0.63) compared to gender. Conclusion. A statistical difference of the
majority of items in QLQ-C30 and QLQ-HL27 compared to age, gender, region and
stage of disease in LH patients treated with BV.

Introduction. Osteoarticular infections are a major public health problem. The aim of
this study was to describe the clinical and biological profile of osteoarticular infections
at Batna University Hospital. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, we
report on a series of 93 patients with osteoarticular infections hospitalized in the
Orthopedics-Traumatology Department of Batna University Hospital, between January
1, 2019 and April 30, 2021. Results/Discussion. The mean age of patients was 32.16
years, the M/F sex ratio was 2. Our series was dominated by arthritis (29% of cases).
Among the 33 bacterial strains isolated, staphylococci predominated (56%), over half
of which (58.82%) were methicillin-resistant. Probabilistic treatment was not consistent
with microbiological findings in most cases. Conclusion. Knowledge of the bacterial
epidemiology of osteoarticular infection is an essential tool for appropriate patient
management.

The agricultural industry plays a vital role in the country's economy and has a significant impact on climate change. The environmental concerns have raised the demand to investigate the traditional agricultural practices taking place and to adopt sustainable practices for increasing agricultural output by bringing innovative and sustainable technologies to improve the farm produce and to ensure the minimization of PPP products that emit harmful emissions to increase the sustainability outputs. The untailored use of these PPPs is extremely detrimental to the environment and therefore there must be use of products that might improve the yield but also are environment friendly. Sustainable agriculture is crucial for achieving the goals of Viksit Bharat which is possible through climate-resilient technologies. Therefore, it becomes important to incorporate sustainable technologies in this domain. The paper aims to understand the use of sustainable technologies in increasing the agricultural sector and ensuring sustainability.

Steel slag, a waste from steel manufacturing, cannot be directly used in agriculture despite its nutritional characteristics. The present research deciphered the response of sulfur enriched steel slag (16-20% S) on cauliflower, cabbage and capsicum. The performance of steel slag based sulfur fertilizer (SSSF) at 30, 45 and 60 kg S ha-1 with 100 and 50% NPK fertilizer application was evaluated in terms of growth, yield and quality attributes i.e., total antioxidant capacity, ascorbic acid, phenolic content, and pigment system (anthocyanin, lycopene, â carotene, total carotenoid and chlorophyll content). The application of SSSF caused a significant increase (~25%) in economic yield. An increase in physiological and nutritional attributes including antioxidants was also evidenced with the supplementation of the SSSF. The study showed that steel slag based fertilizers can be applied to complement the conventional chemical fertilizers without causing any soil toxicity and phyto-toxicity. In fact, SSSF application helped to save costs (up to 50%) towards NPK chemical fertilizers without any negative impact on the economic yield and nutritional quality of cabbage, cauliflower and capsicum. The study does not reveal any negative effect of steel slag based fertilizer on soil characteristics. Thus, it supports the possibility that an enriched-amended steel slag can be used as source of mineral nutrients in agriculture.
