Flashing green signal effects on drivers’ behavior
Authors: Kocić Anica , Stanković Stamenka , Čičević Svetlana , Čelar Nikola , Kajalić Jelena , Trifunović Aleksandar
Published: March 2021

The flashing green signal indicates that the green signal will end, and its application at signalized intersections is optional. This paper presents the results of the survey conducted among Belgrade drivers. The survey was conducted in order to analyze behavior, perceptions, knowledge, and attitudes towards the flashing green signal. Results showed that drivers mostly support the flashing green implementation. Also, respondents expressed an opinion that the flashing green improves traffic efficiency and safety. A third of drivers decelerate and stop when flashing green starts. In a situation where the vehicle in front of them decelerate when flashing green starts, 13% of drivers will try to change lane and pass an intersection. This result indicates that drivers of following cars can have conflicting decisions. Results showed that half of the respondents underestimate the flashing green duration while a third of them overestimate it.
How to Design an Objective Test to Assess Personality: Step by Step
Authors: Santacreu José , Romero Miriam , Casadevante Cristina , Hernández Jose Manuel
Published: March 2021

Objective tests allow us to study the behavior that
people show, without having to resort to the analysis of the verbal
descriptions they make about their own behavior. Objective tests have been
widely used to study abilities, and it was not until the works of Cattell and
Warburton that these instruments also began to be systematically designed to
study personality. In this work, we describe what objective tests are and why
they have the potential to be a useful instrument in personality assessment. We
present what researchers need to know to design an objective personality test.
To this end, we offer an example of the process that we followed to design a
test that measures self-control. This work could serve as a basis for
researchers who want to design this type of instruments.

Reconnaissance of Palaeolithic sites in the Faid area of Ha’il in northern Saudi Arabia. Ahmed Nassr, Ahmed Elhassan, Mohammed al-Hajj, Ali Tueaiman
Authors: Nassr Ahmed
Published: March 2021

The ongoing archaeological survey and excavations in the Faid area in northern Saudi Arabia led to the uncovering of remains of a large early Islamic settlement. Palaeolithic artefacts discovered in the building foundations during the excavation of season 2019 point to a Palaeolithic site buried partially by the settlement ruins. An archaeological exploration was carried out in the area around the site during March 2020, which documented three Palaeolithic sites (Faid 1 – Faid 3). In February 2021, the archaeological survey extended to the east and west, where four new Palaeolithic sites have been discovered (Faid 4 – Faid 7). The archaeological sites represented two main Palaeolithic traditions: Acheulean, identified from the bifaces, and Middle Palaeolithic, represented by prepared core production and bifacial point production, referable to the Levallois method. Faid 2 is a unique Acheulean site, where a systematic survey shows agglomeration of LCTs (Large cutting stone tools) covering an area of 15 hectares. Bifaces (handaxes and cleavers) are the most conspicuous artefacts. Thus, the archaeological sites’ localities and lithics technocomplex have direct relevance in assessing hominin dispersal routes through Arabia to the rest of Eurasia.
Listening to Long COVID: Epistemic Injustice and COVID-19 morbidity
Authors: Altiery De Jesus Vivian Valeria , Alwan Nisreen , Callard Felicity , Berger Zackary
Published: March 2021

In Long Covid, symptoms do not resolve within several weeks after acute infection with SARS-CoV-2. Patients with COVID-19 and long COVID face stigma and discrimination. One important type of discrimination is epistemic injustice which includes testimonial and hermeneutical injustices. Testimonial injustices occur when healthcare professional disregard or discount patients’ symptoms. This worsens healthcare outcomes and exacerbates challenges to adequate healthcare access at the individual level. Furthermore, testimonial injustices may lead to hermeneutical injustices – systemic underrepresentation of the experiences of the marginalized and minoritized. Healthcare professionals play an essential role in mitigating injustices and have a duty to reduce harms done to patients with long COVID. It is crucial that the clinician avoid multiplying associated harms by not engaging in epistemic injustices. We suggest the disability model as an approach to improve clinicians’ response to long covid. Epistemic injustice leads to systemic inequities that affect those with chronic disease in general, particularly in populations suffering from structural inequities. The COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity for solidarity with those suffering from other chronic diseases that have been marginalized and stigmatized.

Published: March 2021

TB ranks as the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are pivotal for the effective management and control of TB in clinical practice. However, the inherent limitations make it difficult to meet the requirement for early diagnosis. The Aim to this Meta-analysis study was to understand use of the polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB PCR) as a basis for making diagnostic and clinical decisions and to understand sensitivity of TB PCR for the same. The aim to TB-PCR as a diagnostic tool is to rule out the other though efficient yet time consuming methods to diagnose Tb infections, as these methods delay the clinical decision making and further treatment.
Entre la ignorancia y el desprecio: las relaciones entre lenguaje, política y educación en la estructuración del mito de la Atenas Suramericana en el siglo XIX
Authors: Llano Fabián Andrés
Published: March 2021

El artículo busca motivar la discusión sobre el mito cultural de la Atenas Suramericana y su estrecha relación con procesos de configuración de relaciones de obediencia / desobediencia, así como con la construcción de identidades y diferentes sentidos de pertenencia que se presentaron en Bogotá en el siglo XIX a través del uso correcto del lenguaje. Metodología: Ante la carencia de estudios sobre el mito cultural, el artículo plantea una articulación de la historia cultural con algunos conceptos de la teoría bourdiviana como el concepto de capital cultural para hacer evidentes unas prácticas culturales inscritas en relaciones de fuerza y en las estructuraciones económicas, sociales y culturales. Por medio del análisis de las prácticas culturales se logró suplir las escasas referencias del Mito de la Atenas Suramericana en las fuentes documentales analizadas como la prensa de la época, revistas, crónicas y relatos de viajeros. Originalidad: Plantea una relación cercana entre lenguaje, política y educación en la estructuración del Mito de la Atenas Suramericana. Conclusiones La importancia de los mitos culturales, en especial el mito de la Atenas suramericana explica el inacabado proyecto cultural colombiano, desde la exclusión, la desigualdad, la burla, las apariencias y los estrechos caminos hacia la política. El uso correcto del lenguaje fue un mecanismo culturalque más que funcionar para la democratización de la palabra, se convirtió en un recurso simbólico para la exclusión y el encumbramiento de una identidad dominante.
Communication deficits in a case of 22q11.23 Duplication Syndrome with a deletion in 7q31 encompassing FOXP2
Authors: Moreno Campos Verónica , Benítez-Burraco Antonio
Published: March 2021

Copy number variants (CNVs) found in individuals with communication deficits provide a valuable window to the genetic causes of problems with language and more generally, to the genetic foundation of the human-specific ability to learn and use languages. In this paper, we report in detail on the language and communication problems of a patient with a microduplication in 22q11.23 and a microdeletion in 7q31 encompassing FOXP2. The proband exhibits severe speech problems, moderate comprehension deficits, and quite preserved pragmatic abilities, using gestures to compensate most of her expressive problems. This profile is compatible with the deficits found in patients with similar CNVs, particularly, with people bearing microdeletions in 7q31.
Scrutinizing the Clinical Symptoms and treatment Outcomes in a Case of Parasomnia with Sleepwalking Disorder Associated with Nocturnal Violence
Authors: Pasalari Selma , Khorramdel Kazem , Kateb Babak , Rao KS Jagannatha , Nami Mohammad
Published: March 2021

The aim of this study was to investigate a case of sleepwalking associated with violence (non-REM parasomnias) and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) following treatment strategies. Here we studied a 60-year-old man with family history of a wide range of sleep disorders. His quality of sleep, anxiety, depression, quality of life, and possibility of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were examined using the standard questionnaires upon pre-treatment, post-treatment, and follow-up phases of the study. The treatment plan comprised adherence to sleep hygiene measures, applying continuous positive airway pressure machine (CPAP) concurrently with eight sessions of weekly biofeedback therapy sessions. Standard over-night polysomnographic evaluations were done prior to and after the treatment. The present report comparatively highlights the patient’s sleep bioparameters, number of arousals, respiratory events, and periodic limb movements (PLM) during sleep stages in pre- and post-treatment studies. Prior to the intervention, the subject suffered from OSA, anxiety, minor depression, moderate quality of life and some degree of PTSD resulting in frequent episodes of sleepwalking associated with violence. After the intervention, there was a relative improvement in all indices. The apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) was 33.37 at the beginning of the intervention and decreased to 2.24 after 3 weeks of compliant CPAP therapy. The treatment protocol in this study resulted in complete improvement in some parameters such as PLM and OSAHS and relative improvement in others such as arousal instability and parasomnias including sleep walking associated with violence. The present study puts forward further insights into the possible relation between parasomnias and sleep disordered breathing with intermittent hypoxia. The above hypothesis deserves further investigations in future controlled studies.
By the old gods and the new: The effect of the congruence and incongruence of foreign language classroom anxiety and enjoyment on self-perceived proficiency
Authors: Botes Elouise , Dewaele Jean-Marc , Greiff Samuel
Published: March 2021

The negative emotion of Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety (FLCA) and the positive emotion of Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE) have both been linked to foreign language (FL) learners’ Self-Perceived Proficiency (SPP). In linear correlational studies, SPP has been found to be negatively affected by FLCA and positively affected by FLE. However, linear correlational research methods are limited in the extent to which they can depict these interrelations. In this study, we examined how different levels of FLCA and FLE influenced SPP in concert in a sample of n = 1039 FL learners by utilising polynomial regression with response surface analysis. The response model generated visually depicted a complex SPP pattern as a result of differing levels of FLCA and FLE. This three-dimensional model provides considerable insight into the interaction of positive and negative emotions above and beyond what could be derived from ‘classical’ methods of correlation and linear regression.
How skeptics could be convinced (not persuaded) to get vaccinated against COVID-19
Authors: Rebitschek Felix G. , Ellermann Christin , Jenny Mirjam , Siegel Nico A. , Spinner Christian , Wagner Gert
Published: March 2021

Central to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic strategy, COVID-19 vaccination depends on the population’s uptake decisions. Because at least 60% of the population needs to be vaccinated, but fewer, for example, in Germany are expected to do so, it is important to know how to convince those who are undecided or skeptical. According to the health care standard of enabling citizens to make informed decisions based on balanced information (boosting) – instead of persuasion or seduction (nudging) – a comparison of benefits and harms of having or not having the vaccination would be required to inform these groups. With the help of a representative survey, we investigated the contribution of fact boxes, an established intervention format for informed intentions. Study 1 shows the development of knowledge and evaluation of COVID-19 vaccinations by German citizens between Nov 2020 and Feb 2021. Study 2 reveals objective information needs and subjective information requirements of those laypeople at the end of Nov. Study 3 shows that the fact box format is effective for risk communication about COVID-19. Based on these insights, a fact box on the efficacy and safety of mRNA-vaccines was implemented with the help of a national health authority. Study 4 shows that fact boxes increase vaccination knowledge and positive evaluations of the benefit-harm ratio of vaccination in skeptics and undecideds. Our results demonstrate that simple fact boxes can be an effective boost of informed decision making among undecided and skeptical people, and that informed decisions can lead to more positive vaccination evaluations of the public.
Without more theory, psychology will be a headless rider
Authors: Hensel Witold , Miłkowski Marcin , Nowakowski Przemysław
Published: March 2021

We argue that Yarkoni’s proposed solutions to the generalizability crisis are half-measures because he does not recognize that the crisis arises from investigators’ underappreciation of the roles of theory in experimental research. Rather than embracing qualitative analysis, the research community should make an effort to develop better theories and work toward consistently incorporating theoretical results into experimental practice.
The Philanthropic Authority: What defines philanthropy and how it relates to democracy
Authors: Debief Matthieu
Published: March 2021

A dangerous tool at the service of the richest or one of the most virtuous individual actions, philanthropy is said to stand in a conflictual relation to democracy. Many scholars have discussed the normative question of why philanthropy might or might not be desirable in a democracy. However, few have paused to address the prior and more fundamental analytical question of what makes philanthropy inherently specific in such a way that may (or may not) raise compatibility issues with the distinguishing features of democracy. I address this question as I offer a characterization of philanthropy as an act carrying a plutocratic and third-personal form of authority, which is in contrast with the mutual and second-personal kind of authority that distinguishes democracy as a form of government. The source of philanthropy’s authority rests in some people’s material resources that can be used to further unilateral decisions based on their individual preferences. This distinguishing feature of philanthropy makes it prima facie incompatible with the logic of democratic authority, which rests in the relations of mutual accountability between citizens as the joint makers of collective decisions. Philanthropy, I argue, inherently betrays this logic because it establishes no specific relation of mutual accountability between the donor and the recipient of the gift. To understand this specificity of philanthropy is important to gain a better understanding of the merits and limits of the different normative proposals to assess the desirability of making space for philanthropy in a democracy.

Published: March 2021

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to compare the role of Conventional Radiography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), in diagnosis of active sacroiliitis and differentiation between inflammatory and infective sacroiliitis.Methods: Fifty two cases of active sacroiliitis diagnosed on MRI from August 2017 to August 2019 were included in study. All the patients were subjected to conventional radiology, MRI and findings were co-related with clinical and laboratory findings. Conventional radiography was used to evaluate structural changes. MR images were evaluated for bone lesions (extent and distribution of bone marrow edema and presence of bone erosions), soft-tissue lesions (capsulitis, extra capsular fluid collections, and peri-articular muscle edema) and joint space reduction for differentiation between infective and inflammatory etiology.Results: Conventional radiography showed sclerosis, erosion, partial and complete ankylosis. Thick capsulitis, extra capsular fluid collection, and peri-articular muscle edema were all more frequently observed in infective sacroiliitis (p<0.001). Iliac-dominant bone marrow edema more common in spondyloarthritis (p<0.001). When periarticular muscle edema was the sole predictor, unilateral sacroiliitis in spondyloarthritis was correctly identified in 79.16% of cases, and infectious sacroiliitis was correctly identified in 82.14% of cases.Conclusions: MRI is the optimum imaging modality to diagnose active sacroiliitis. MRI plays an essential role in better demonstrating early alterations and inflammatory activity and aid in differentiation of infective and inflammatory sacroiliitis. Conventional radiography with low sensitivity can be used as a screening tool and follow-up of patients with sacroiliitis.

Establishing and Developing Professional Evaluator Dispositions
Authors: Davies Randall S.
Published: March 2021

Abstract: A basic principle associated with competent evaluation practice asserts that evaluators should possess the education, abilities, skills, and experience needed to undertake the tasks proposed in an evaluation. For those training evaluators this also means teaching professional dispositions, because an individual’s dispositions (i.e., beliefs and values) influence how they will act as professionals. Personal dispositions held by individual evaluators at times conflict with the values and beliefs of their professional organization. Competent evaluators must be able to manage personal dispositions in ways that allow professional values and positions to guide their practice. In order for evaluation educators to teach evaluator competencies, we must understand the underlying dispositions associated with each competency. We must also identify which dispositions are essential for professional practice. This article discusses the issue of dispositions and the challenges of helping evaluators develop positive professional dispositions.

Content Analysis of Edible oil TV advertisements, and Consumer Perceptions Regarding these advertisements: a Mixed-Method Study
Authors: Esfarjani Fatemeh
Published: March 2021

This study aimed at the content analysis of edible oil TV advertisements and consumer perceptions regarding these advertisements in 2020. A total of 3266 edible oil advertisements broadcasted on five major Iranian national television channels were videotaped for content analysis during three months. The result of content analysis conducted that, the majority of edible oil advertisements were related to frying oils (62%), and olive oil advertising was the last one (6%). The most slogan contents of edible oil advertisements were no palm. During the prime time of TV viewing, the advertisements portrayed unhealthy messages. Then ten focus group discussions (FGDs) were held. Advertising was the main factor affecting consumer edible oil purchases that may motivate them to eat more frying foods and change their purchase behavior towards the consumption of edible oils more than the recommended limits. Advertisement marketing companies must use healthy and informative advertisement content to increase community awareness and promote building consumer trust. Policymakers should pass new laws for controlling edible oil advertisements to prevent non-communicable diseases.
Studies to Explain Associations between Relative Amounts of Body Fatty Acids
Authors: Høstmark Arne
Published: March 2021

Relative amounts of variables, such as body fatty acids, might be positively or negatively associated. The purpose of the present work was to investigate further, how such correlations might arise. One particular feature seemed to be that distributions of the variables were crucial for obtaining either positive or negative correlations, and for their strength, suggesting the name Distribution Dependent Correlations (DDC). The present work suggests that, with three positive scale variables, two of which (A, B) having very low variability relative to a third one (R), we should expect a positive association between percent A and percent B, the slope being estimated by the B/A ratio. Furthermore, we should expect a negative relationship between %R and %A (%B), in the current context. On the other hand, if A and B have high numbers and broad ranges relative to R, then %A should relate inversely to %B. Thus, ranges of A, B, and R seem to govern associations between their relative amounts, and alterations in the ranges have appreciable effects to change the associations. We suggest that evolution might utilize DDC to regulate metabolism, as suggested to occur with body fatty acids.

This results in fever, headache and can result in coma leading to death. Falciparum is the dangerous form of malaria leading to the most fatalities. Clasisically the red cells show ring forms and banana shaped gametocytes are seen in the peripheral blood.
Dyslexia & the Pons
Authors: T E Paul
Published: March 2021

Introduction Dyslexia is a learning disorder. It is centered on the Pons. It affects between 5 to 17% of the population. The Pons is where the balance takes place. People with Dyslexia have trouble with balance. The Pons is also central to the sub consciousness, which is tied in with REM sleep. The sleep equation therefore applies. The Pons is involved in communication by facial expression. People with Dyslexia is a communication disorder since those with it have trouble linking visual and hearing senses. The Cranial Nerve VIII, Vestibular Nerve, responsible for hearing comes out of the Pons. The tracts for sight and hearing pass through the Lateral Geniculate Body (LGB) and the Medical Geniculate Body. (MGB) which are located on the anterior of the Thalamus. Reading and wringing, which is a problem with Dyslexia, involves both seeing and hearing. We translate visual signal to vocal words and writing. Dyslexia also have trouble with writing letters. They do letter backwards. The is an orientation problem. It may have to do with the left hemisphere which usually is responsible for language (Broca’s and Wernicke’s Areas). The Pons too is responsible for communication, especially the nonverbal facial recognition.

Published: March 2021

The aim of the article is clarification of the role of local self-government bodies of Volyn in providing the population of the region with basic necessities and fuel during the World War I. The author analyzes a set of measures taken by Zemstvos and municipal authorities to address vital issues. Methodology of the research is based on the use of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, and generalization), statistical method, special historical (chronological and historical and systemic) in combination with the principles of historicism, objectivity, and multifactorial. The scientific novelty of the work is that the author finds out the different directions of activity of the local authorities of Volyn to provide the population of the region with food, fuel, and basic necessities during the World War І. Particular attention is paid to highlighting their role in rebuilding the infrastructure of the frontline settlements of the region liberated in 1916. Conclusions. During the World War I the city self-government bodies and Zemstva solved many tasks not inherent in them.  The front-line and later front-line status of the Volyn province forced them to become actively involved in providing food to the townspeople to oppose the export of food from the front-line counties in order to purchase and deliver fuel to the cities, and to provide assistance to evacuees and refugees.  In the settlements liberated in 1916 from the Austro-Hungarian and German troops they faced with a difficult epidemiological situation, lack of funds to address important issues.  The fact that a huge number of military units were stationed in the region the implementation of the tasks became much more difficult.  The most local authorities could count on from the imperial authorities was to obtain loans to support the livelihoods of the region’s cities. The above circumstances together have led to a deterioration in the living standards of the population, especially the poor. Despite the active work of local governments at the end of 1916 in Volhyn, the socio-economic situation deteriorated sharply. In 1916, the frontline settlements of the region.

Bohdan-Volodymyr Dorotskyi is a representative of the generation of Ukrainian figures who, in the absence of Ukrainian statehood in the 1930s and 1940s, focused their work on the development of the Ukrainian student movement and the support of culture. Both patriotic traditions of the family and studies in Ukrainian gymnasiums, participation in the Ukrainian scout movement, as well as persecution of the family by the Polish authorities had a significant influence on this area of his interests. While studying at Lviv Polytechnic, he actively worked in the governing bodies of student organizations: the student society "Osnova", the Union of Ukrainian student organizations in Poland, the Society of friends  of education, the cooperative "Student Usurer". A special mission of Bohdan Dorotsky was his participation in the publication of the official magazine UUSOP - "Student Way", as well as books of young poets. Bohdan Dorotsky's active work attracted the attention of Polish, Soviet and German security agencies. He was arrested several times by the Polish authorities. Tragically died in 1945 having been killed by members of the Polish nationalist organization.

The purpose of the article is to cover the process of founding, formation and development of the Vinnytsia Tool Plant and show its activities through the prism of the Soviet press. The methodology of research is based on the use of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, systematization, generalization) and special-historical (historical-critical, historical-comparative, problem-chronological, discourse-analysis, document processing) methods. The study is based on the universal principles of historicism, scientificity, multifactoriality and systematicity. The scientific novelty of the work is that the authors for the first time, based on the analysis of periodicals as a source, revealed various aspects of the functioning of the Vinnytsia Tool Plant in the system of realities of Soviet industry. Conclusions. The materials placed on the pages of Soviet periodicals testify to the undoubted positive results in the activities of the Vinnytsia Tool Plant during its existence. This is reflected in the significant achievements of the enterprise, the establishment of competitive products, improving the organization of production, its automation, infrastructure development, improving working conditions and living conditions of workers. These achievements were comprehensively covered in the pages of periodicals. However, the Soviet press had its own specifics of creating an information picture about the development of the Soviet economy, carefully retouched the shortcomings of the command-administrative system and its insensitivity to the demands of the time. Newspaper columns in the late 1940s and early 1980s were one of the platforms for demonstrating the labor exploits of the Soviet people and shaped public opinion about the benefits of socialist development in society. Nevertheless, despite the bias, propaganda and stereotypes of the publications, the information in the Soviet media allows us to assess not only the achievements in the plant's activities, but also to identify shortcomings and miscalculations. But, in our opinion, these shortcomings should be connected first of all with features of development of the all-Union industry - following instructions "from above", necessity of performance of plans of the next five years, lag of the USSR in scientific and technical progress, lack of effective communication of science and production, using outdated equipment and technologies and involving instead the "human factor" to fulfill the tasks set by the party and state leadership to increase productivity, increase the number of products and improve its quality.

The purpose of the article is to clarify the factors that determined the status of abbots of the biggest Kyiv friaries in the XIXth – at the beginning of the XX-th. On the basis of the analysis of archival and published sources of the history of Kyiv eparchy the author shows that the abbots of official Kyiv monasteries, which were subordinated to the Kyiv metropolitan, were vicar bishops (deputies and assistants of Kyiv metropolitan), rector of Kyiv Theological Academy and rector of the seminary. Research methodology is based on the combination of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and special-historical (historical-typological, historical-systemic, historical-genetic) methods with the principles of historicism, systematics and scientificity. The method of historical reconstruction made it possible to formulate a holistic view of the abbots of the biggest Kyiv friaries from the scattered facts, who had clearly regulated responsibilities in the monastery and in the management of Kyiv eparchy. The scientific novelty of the work is that using modern methodology of scientific analysis the author shows the components of the high status of the abbots of official Kyiv monasteries, who at the same time performed duties in the structure of diocesan administration. New historical sources are being introduced into scientific circulation, which will supplement the source base of the history of Kyiv eparchy of the XIX – early XX centuries. Conclusions. The analysis of known and newly discovered historical sources made it possible to conclude that official Kyiv friaries, which existed in the XIX – early XX centuries, were in the subordination of metropolitan, had leaders of clergy of high social status. Their abbots, in addition to the duties of managing the monastery, held positions in the diocesan administration: they were the first, second, third, fourth vicars of Kyiv eparchy, the rector of Kyiv Theological Academy and the rector of a theological seminary. The status of abbots of Kyiv monasteries was determined by several components: a legal regulation of rights and responsibilities, clearly defined requirements for candidates for abbot positions, the class of monastery, which meant the amount of its state funding, the size of the monastery property. Sources contain information that with the high status of the position, high salary and material wealth of the monasteries subordinate to them, the abbots of the Kyiv Orthodox monasteries were a model of the ideals of monastic life.

The technological solution of a meat farm for 1000 cows of a broodstock with a three-round hotel of cows is presented. The first round is planned in january – march, the second round – in may – july and the third-from september to november. The goal of the development is to ensure regular production of beef during the year, obtained from the slaughter of 6–7-month-old steers and 8–9-month-old chicks, grown on suckling under mother cows to a live weight of 170–216 kg. The average daily growth of bulls – 800, heifers-700 g. the daily supply of meat will reach 62.4 c, an average of 2 c per day. The average level of profitability is 30.6%. New design and planning solutions for industrial buildings are proposed. The parameters of the feed zone of the farm and the need for in-farm equipment were determined. When developing the master plan of the farm, the following main zones were identified: production purposes, storage and preparation of feed, auxiliary production. For the use of loose keeping of animals, the structural scheme of buildings was chosen without internal supports. Keeping cows with calves in winter is loose on a deep non-replaceable litter. Unlike young animals, the delivery of adult animals for meat takes place in September – October. For the mechanization of production processes, there are two mixers, a mini-feed mill, auto-watering machines, ball drinkers with electric heating, a water dispenser, a straw roll shredder, and a machine for treating animals with a disinfectant solution.

The problem of food poisoning and food allergies does not lose its relevance and is still a threat to health, which must be minimized. Since various cereal-based products make up a significant proportion of the diet of humans and farm animals, the purpose of this review is to familiarize with sources of chemical and biological contamination of cereals, such as mycotoxins and pesticides. These compounds, which enter the human body and animals with food, can pose a health hazard even in quantities beyond detection. Among the pesticides that have become an integral part of modern agriculture, in this article, the greatest attention was paid to organophosphate herbicides as the most widely used on cereals. Among the latter, one of the most common organophosphorus compounds was identified - glyphosate, which is the active substance of many bulk and liquid herbicides. On the basis of information, mainly from foreign articles, the basic principles of accumulation of this substance in wheat grains and animals were formulated.

The results of studying the effects of water-alcohol infusions of medicinal plants - rhizomes of thick-leafed incense (Bergenia crasslifolia L. Fritsch), dioica nettle leaves (Urtica dioca L.), burdock roots (Arctium lappa L.), and mother-and-leaf leaves - are presented. ordinary machichi (Tussilago farfara L.) on the organism of laboratory rats under conditions of short-term intoxication with heavy metals in doses of 25 mg of lead and 2.5 mg of cadmium per 1 kg of live weight. In the course of studies it was found that the effect of heavy metals on the body of laboratory animals is selective - the main “depot” of lead was bone tissue, and cadmium - the kidneys and liver. The addition of 1 ml of water-alcohol infusions from medicinal raw materials to the diet of rats as detoxicants caused a decrease in the level of lead in the animal organism to 6.32 times, cadmium to 3.46 times. The greatest detoxification ability was shown by infusions of the roots of burdock and leaves of nettle dioecious. Under the influence of elevated doses of lead and cadmium in laboratory animals there was an increase in heart mass by 40.34 % and spleen by 89.91 %, a decrease in the content of alkaline phosphatase in blood serum by 25.81 %. Water-alcohol infusions normalized the biochemical parameters of rat blood serum. Studies have shown that the infusions of rhizomes of thick-leafed frangipani, burdock roots, dioecious nettles and coltsfoot leaves with antioxidant properties can be the basis for the development of an effective herbal preparation used for the prevention and treatment of animals from intoxication with salts of heavy metals.
