COMMUNICATION OF POLITICIANS WITH THE AUDIENCE: TOOLS AND SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
Authors: Honcharenko Maksym
Published: April 2023

The process and mechanisms of communication between the politician and the audience, the role of external and conjunctural factors, their influence on the effectiveness of communication and the expediency of using certain means of interaction are studied. Factors that directly affect the quality of a political actor's contact with voters are considered, as well as those that indirectly affect the relevance of political statements. Formulated principles of evaluating the effectiveness of communication with a certain audience. Actual problems of communication between the politician and the audience in the scientific, social, public and political spheres are revealed. The problem of communication between a politician and an audience is actualized in the scientific, socio-political, public, purely political spheres.

The effectiveness and expediency of using certain formats of communication between a politician and an audience against the background of various external conditions is analyzed. Attention is focused on the need for careful analysis not only of the audience as such, but also of external factors that can affect the perception of information by the voter. The study of individual formats and the specifics of their application in communication between a politician and an audience opens up opportunities for more effective and transparent interaction between political actors and civil society. This enables the creation, improvement and effective use of the most appropriate means of public communication. Recommendations are provided for preparing, editing and evaluating the effectiveness of public communication activities in the context of political activity.

It is proved that there is a connection between the effectiveness of a certain means of communication and external factors. Methods of assessing the expediency of using various means of public communication are proposed and attention is focused on their specificity. A hypothesis is proposed about the significant influence of external factors on the perception of information by the audience, in particular on the political behavior of voters.
Brodsky’s shadow over Pelevin’s empire
Authors: Makhankov Eugene , Skliarova Tetiana
Published: April 2023

As has been repeatedly noted by researchers, one of the most important categories of the artistic and aesthetic system of I. Brodsky is the category of language. In a number of poetic texts, articles and essays, the poet reflects on the role of language in the life of a person, and especially of a poet, on the deep interconnection of language and thinking, and comes to perceive it as a timeless, extra-spatial, metaphysical value.

The problem of language as a special sign-conventional system acting as a mediator between the subject and the world occupies a very significant place in the work of V. Pelevin. It seems that it is clearly and poignantly posed in a number of the writer’s novels, including in the so-called vampire dilogy, the plot of which unfolds as a literal realization of Brodsky’s idea that a person is a means of language to continue its existence. As the analysis shows, the most distinct parallels are revealed by the comparison of the vampire dilogy with a specific text by Brodsky - "A Conversation with a Celestial." It appears that "Empire V" and "Batman Apollo" can be read as a novel adaptation of the plot of Conversation with a Celestial.

At the same time, the central images, collisions and motives of Brodsky’s poem are recreated in Pelevin’s dilogy. Central to both texts is the image of the mouse-tongue. Moreover, both in Brodsky’s poetic universe and in Pelevin’s novels, the image of a mouse is directly related to language and poetry.

As the analysis shows, we can say that Pelevin is obviously attracted by the concept of Brodsky’s language, as well as some aspects of the relationship between language and man, man and God, implemented in his poetry, which explains the consistent appeal to "A Conversation with a Celestial" when creating a vampire dilogy ... However, if in Brodsky’s texts seemingly extremely distant from each other poles tend to converge up to complete nondiscrimination, then the binarity of language and truth in Pelevin’s universe is rigidly set and motionless. Perhaps this is what prevents the writer from crossing the "last gate."

Authors: Jamaluddin  , Fadriani  , Ihwan  , Herwin
Published: April 2023

Eel fish (Anguilla marmorata (Q.) Gaimard) contains unsaturated fatty acids such as
omega-3 and omega-6. Furthermore, EPA and DHA are forms of omega-3 and are known
to treat various diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, inflammation, heart disease,
stroke, lupus, hypertension, impaired growth and intelligence, diabetes, and act as
antifungal agents. This study aimed to determine the cytotoxic activity of eel fish oil
extract against Artemia salina leach shrimp larvae using the brine shrimp lethality test
(BSLT) method. It also aimed to determine the lethal concentration 50 (LC₅₀) value of the
oil, which is the concentration that could cause the death of 50% of the test animal
population. The cytotoxicity testing was carried out using the larvae of Artemia salina
leach shrimp larvae aged 48 hrs and eel fish oil extract at concentrations of 50, 100, 150,
200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, and 500 ppm with five repetitions. Furthermore, the
cytotoxic effect was observed by calculating the number of shrimp larvae mortality, while
the probit analysis was used to determine the LC50 value of the oil. The results showed
that the eel fish oil extract had the highest bioactivity against Artemia salina leach shrimp
larvae at concentrations of 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, and 500 ppm, respectively, and
its LC₅₀ value was 232.6802 ppm, which is <1000 ppm. Therefore, it was concluded that
the oil is toxic to Artemia salina leach shrimp larvae and has the potential to be further
investigated as an anticancer agent.

Published: April 2023

Recent advances in functional food research fostered new food ingredients that can
alleviate the properties already found in these foods. Among them, product diversification
in fermented foods totally benefitted because of the array of raw materials that can be
mixed with milk-based fermented milk products like yoghurt. Legumes were reported to
have bioactive ingredients that can potentially increase the beneficial effects of yoghurt by
increasing the viability of yoghurt starter cultures. In this study, the effect of
supplementation with gelatinized pigeon pea flour on the microbiological, physicochemical, and sensory properties of yoghurt during 14 days of refrigerated storage was
determined. Supplementation of yoghurt with gelatinized pigeon pea flour significantly
increased the viability of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, fermentation rate
and total titratable acidity, and significantly lowered the pH of the supplemented yoghurt.
However, no significant effect on the viability of Streptococcus thermophilus was found.
Results of sensory evaluation showed that the addition of gelatinized pigeon pea flour to
yoghurt significantly affected the colour, texture and consistency of yoghurt, and imparted
a perceivable aftertaste, but did not significantly affect the aroma, sourness, sweetness,
and overall acceptability of the product. The findings suggested that pigeon pea flour can
be considered a potential ingredient for yoghurt supplementation.

Published: April 2023

Purslane (Portulaca oleraceae) is a plant rich in omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids which can be
added to the diets of chicken to produce meat high in n-3 fatty acids. This research aimed
to analyse the impact of the purslane meal addition into a basal diet on the quality and n-3
fatty acids of broiler meat. A total of 150 broilers were assigned randomly to five
treatments with six replications. Each replication consisted of five broilers. The treatments
were a basal diet supplemented with purslane meal at levels of 0% (Br-E0), 1.5% (Br-E1),
3% (Br-E2), 4.5% (Br-E3), and 6% (Br-E4). Meat samples were taken on day 42 for
quality and n-3 fatty acid analysis. Results showed that the addition of purslane meal to
the basal diets did not affect (P>0.05) the protein and moisture content of the meat but
significantly reduced (P<0.05) the fat content. Increasing the levels of purslane meal rich
in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in the diets increased the ALA, DHA, total n-3 PUFA, total
n-6 PUFA, and total PUFA (P<0.05) in the broiler meat. The DHA level of the meat from
chickens fed with 6% purslane meal increased by double compared to those fed with
control diet. In conclusion, chickens fed ALA enriched diets up to a level of 6% produced
meat higher in n-3 fats without negatively affecting the chemical composition of the meat.
Effects of frozen storage duration on the physicochemical and sensory
properties of cassava sticks
Authors: Trisnawati C.Y. , Sutedja A.M. , Kaharso V.C.
Published: April 2023

Cassava sticks is a processed food made from cassava that has similar characteristics to
French fries. However, cassava sticks are also classified as perishable food, so it is
required to employ other processes that might increase its preservation, such as frozen
storage. In this study, the cassava stick was stored at -20oC for three months to investigate
its effects on the physicochemical and sensory properties of cassava sticks. The effects of
frozen storage duration were monitored every month carried out in three replications. A
randomized block design with a single factor was used as the experimental design.
According to the results, storing cassava sticks under frozen conditions significantly
increased (P<0.05) the oil absorption and had no effect (P>0.05) on the moisture content.
A significant alteration (P<0.05) in texture was observed through the increase of cassava
stick hardness from 1.11 to 2.54 N. Frozen storage duration also influenced (P<0.05) the
lightness and yellowness, but not the redness (P>0.05) of cassava sticks. Fat oxidation
also occurred during storage, marked by a significant increase (P<0.05) of free fatty acid
(0.06 to 0.14%) and peroxide value (0 to 34.53 mg peroxide/kg lipid) on three months of
frozen storage. Thus, this study concludes that frozen storage duration affected the
physical and chemical properties of cassava sticks. Moreover, cassava sticks stored frozen
for three months were acceptable for panelists with neither like nor dislike (4.30) average
acceptance, and had no significant difference (P>0.05) with other samples.

Editors Note: Important Topics in Applied Behavior Analysis as it Relates to Autism
Authors: Cihon Joseph H. , Leaf Justin B. , Kazemi Ellie
Published: April 2023

The field of behavioral intervention as it relates to intervention for autistics/individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder1 (ASD) has grown exponentially. As with the growth of any field dedicated to the service of others, this growth has come with its successes and failures, its inspiration and trepidations. Undoubtably, the lives of many diagnosed with ASD and their families have been improved through the dissemination and accessibility of quality behavioral services based on the science of applied behavior analysis (ABA). There is also little doubt, and emerging evidence, that the challenges related to the rapid growth of the field have also resulted in harms as a result of the misapplication or malpractice of ABA-based services. Answers to how we may address concerns related to this rapid growth such as maltreatment, improved quality, and increased access to progressive methods are not easy and cannot be answered in a single manuscript or issue of a journal. The purpose of this issue, instead, is to continue and expand on discussions examining some recent important topics in behavioral intervention specifically as it relates to care available for autistics/individuals diagnosed with ASD.
The Crossroads: Interdisciplinary Teams and Alternative Treatments

Published: April 2023

Behavior analysts collaborating within interdisciplinary teams are likely to find themselves at difficult crossroads. Some of these crossroads include implementing alternative treatments, defining and determining risk and harm, and evaluating research and interventions. The purpose of this paper is to highlight some of these crossroads and provide guidelines on successfully navigating them. We contend that it is possible to navigate these crossroads while minimizing harm or risk for the client, adhering to the principles of science and behavior analysis, and remaining respectful of all members of the interdisciplinary team. That is, we can maintain the scientific tenets of philosophic doubt, empiricism, and experimentation, while remaining humble, and ensuring our clients access the most effective interventions available.
Adulthood Begins in Preschool: Meaningful Curriculum in Support of Increased Independence for Individuals with Autism
Authors: Gerhardt Peter F. , Bahry Shanna , Driscoll Natalie M. , Cauchi Jessica , Mason Brian K. , Deshpande Madhura
Published: April 2023

A meaningful curriculum is one that is individualized, inclusive of the individual’s unique needs and interests, and focused on building independence in current and future environments. A meaningful curriculum addresses an individual’s needs and prioritizes instructional programs based on what is, potentially, most important to their lives and not simply a somewhat arbitrary list of isolated skills. A meaningful curriculum is one that puts as much emphasis on skill acquisition outside of the classroom as it does on skill acquisition within the classroom or school. Unfortunately, the use of meaningful curricula to educate autistic students would seem to be something of a rarity, which may help to explain the consistently poor outcomes that individuals with autism and related disorders experience in adulthood. In this article, the authors make recommendations that may help practitioners to mitigate these outcomes by providing instruction in curricula that place a focus on adaptive behavior skills, the intersection of the individual, respectful intervention, and an emphasis on these important topics beginning in preschool, and increasing in importance and complexity across the lifespan.
Improving the Methodological, Analytical, and Cultural Impact of Behavior Analysis Via Utilization of Group Design Methods and Statistical Analyses
Authors: Dixon Mark R. , Chastain Amanda N. , Matthews Meredith T.
Published: April 2023

The multi-decade debates within the field of behavior analysis as to the possible value and threat of group design methodology and statistical analyses on the purity of the field have weakened the discipline’s maximal impact on the world. This paper rebukes the concerns and suggests that through such adoption behavior analysis may likely better achieve its world-changing ideals, and pragmatic initiatives. We begin with a historical trace of the current debate and describe the pros and cons to design/analysis inclusion, frame such matters within the context of contemporary issues which applied behavior analysts find themselves concerned, and ultimately put forward means by which broader, and perhaps more impactful, research questions can be asked and interpreted.
Supervision Strategies for Treatment Fidelity and Job Satisfaction in Applied Behavior Analysis Services
Authors: Saunders Melissa S.
Published: April 2023

Supervising behavior technicians in the implementation of services derived from the science of applied behavior analysis with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common practice for behavior analysts. However, there is limited training available on supervision strategies for those applying this model of services. Lack of training can lead to ineffective and inconsistent supervisory practices, resulting in low rates of job satisfaction for supervisees and variable fidelity in treatment implementation. The quality of supervision can improve job satisfaction and treatment fidelity. This study was conducted using a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design across participants to evaluate the effects of an evidence-based approached to supervision on treatment fidelity and job satisfactory for three behavior technicians providing services for a child with ASD. Each of the three technicians demonstrated improved levels of treatment fidelity and increased job satisfaction across several facets of their job during the intervention and maintenance phase. Implications of these findings, limitations of this study, and suggestions for future research are included.
Progress in Moving Toward a More Progressive Approach to Applied Behavior Analysis
Authors: Ferguson Julia L. , Milne Christine M.
Published: April 2023

Leaf and colleagues (2016) provided a definition and description of progressive applied behavior analysis (ABA) in the context of autism treatment in which a behavior analyst takes a structured, yet flexible, approach to treatment that is responsive to the learner and includes on-going, in-the-moment analysis of teaching. Since Leaf and colleagues’ publication, there have been many research and dissemination advancements across the domains outlined in the original paper. This includes advancements in the types of progressive procedures implemented, instructional arrangements, progressive reinforcement strategies, preventive functional analysis, progressive discrete trial teaching, data collection, progressive curriculum development, and staff training. The purpose of this paper is to highlight these advances citing peer-reviewed research where possible. Although many advancements have occurred, there is still a great need in the field of ABA for more clinicians and researchers to evaluate and implement procedures associated with the progressive approach to ABA. The paper will conclude with a call to action for behavior analysts to move away from rigid, protocolized, and conventional ABA practices and move towards implementing progressive ABA.

Authors: Meltem Caglar Meran , Bayram Unver , Engin Caglar
Published: April 2023

Background/Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the methodological quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examine home-based rehabilitation (HBR) trials for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale and the nine methodology-related items of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2010 statement.

Methods: Three electronic databases were scanned from baseline to October 10, 2021. Two reviewers independently evaluated the articles according to the two inclusion criteria: (1) in individuals diagnosed with KOA, at least one group received home-based rehabilitation as a study intervention and (2) at least one group received a comparison intervention or no intervention. The methodological quality of the included studies (n=22) was assessed using the PEDro scale and nine items of the CONSORT 2010 statement.

Results: Among 1557 RCTs, 22 studies that fulfilled our criteria were included in the review. The mean PEDro scale score was 5.77 (1.54). This result reflects moderate methodological quality. Concealed allocation (6; 27.3%), blinding of subjects (4; 18.2%), and (0; 0.0%) of therapists associated with the methodological quality were not reported in most studies. An author’s expertise in epidemiology and/or statistics was 0.78 points (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.11–1.44), the multicenter study 0.94 points (95% CI: 0.19–1.68), and a one-unit increase in the total score of the CONSORT statement led to an increase in methodological quality of 0.55 points (95% CI: 0.34–0.76).

Conclusion: The methodological quality of most RCTs examining HBR in KOA that we included in our systematic review was moderate. The adherence of journals and authors to CONSORT checklists in reporting of studies may lead to an improvement in the methodological quality of future published studies.

Authors: Levakova Olga Viktorovna
Published: April 2023

The article presents the results of studies of the biological effectiveness of gibberelinic acid in the technology of cultivation of spring rapeseed, conducted in the conditions in 2019–2021. The purpose of the research is to identify the effect of gibberellic acid (GC) on the yield and quality of spring rapeseed oil seeds in the conditions of the forest-steppe zone of the Ryazan region. A clear advantage in the safety and overall survival of rapeseed plants for harvesting with the use of GC was revealed. It was found that the use of GC affected the date of the onset of the phenophases of the culture in the moistened year, reducing the growing season by 3 days. In a dry year, with a low vegetative mass, it did not have a significant effect. The use of GC had a positive effect on the structure of the spring rapeseed crop. The number of branches of the 1st order increased with the use of GC growth by 21,2-42,8 %, the number of pods by 5,9-25,0 %, the number of seeds from one pod by 8,3-52,2 %, the mass of seeds from the 1st plant by 20,6-28,0 %, the number of seeds from the 1st plant by 14,7-18,8 %, the mass of a thousand seeds by 5,5-17,5 %. The yield of oilseeds after the use of GC increased by 26,7-29,1 %. Processing of GC crops provided a reliable increase in yield by 2,6-3,2 c/ha, compared with the control in all years of research. The oil content of the seeds did not have a significant deviation from the control.

This article presents the results of a study on the search and development of the most optimal breed for beef production and growing technology using fattening and fattening in the conditions of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic. An experiment was conducted at Hammer LLC, the object of which was the bulls of the Aberdeen-Angus, Swiss and Kalmyk breeds bred in the region. From birth to 18 months of age, bull-calves of all breeds were distinguished by high payment for feed by increments. They spent 5.4-6 feed units per kilogram of growth. The feed fed to one bull for 18 months of rearing contained 2918-3235 feed. units and 295-325 kg of digestible protein. Live weight at the age of 18 months in bulls of the Aberdeen-Angus breed was 589.4 kg, which is more by 28.4 and 68.4 kg than in bulls of Swiss and Kalmyk breeds, respectively. The slaughter yield in young animals of all breeds was high from 60.1 to 61.6%. However, heavier carcasses were obtained from bulls of the Aberdeen-Angus breed, which is higher than that of Swiss and Kalmyk bulls by 6% and 12.9% at 18 months, respectively. The calorie content of carcass pulp in animals of all breeds was quite high (2274-2346 kcal at the age of 15.5 months and 2470-2700 kcal at 18 months).When determining the economic efficiency of growing bulls up to 15.5 and 18 months of age, it was revealed that the highest payment for feed was shown by animals of the Aberdeen Angus breed, which spent 11.1 per 1 kg of live weight gain for 15.5 and 18 months of growing, respectively.and 10.7 feed units. At the same time, the Aberdeen Angus breed had the minimum production costs per unit of production. In bulls at the age of 15.5 months, they were 5.3 and 17.0% lower than in Swiss and Kalmyk cattle, and at the age of 18 months, they were 11.1 and 20.3% lower, respectively.

Published: April 2023

This article presents a comparative characteristic of sugar beet hybrids of the Belgian company Sesvanderhave. The studied hybrids (Leopard, Original, Cheyenne, Crocodile) in the conditions of the Lipetsk region on leached heavy loamy chernozem showed high yield and good sugar content of root crops. They are technologically advanced in the cleaning and processing of raw materials. All Sesvanderhave hybrids have shown excellent technological qualities of root crops, providing a high yield of crystalline sugar. The content of non-sugary substances (K+, Na+, ?-amine nitrogen (?-NH2) in root crops was below the permissible norms, which positively affected the gross yield of refined sugar. Of the four sugar beet hybrids in the Lipetsk region, the Crocodile hybrid turned out to be the most productive, providing a sugar yield of 10.67 t/ha, the excess of the sweet product over other hybrids was: Leopard - by 0.94 t/ha, the Original - by 0.61, Cheyenne - by 0.58 t/ha. The Crocodile also formed root crops with a higher sugar content (17.70%), but at the same time, taking into account molasses-forming substances, it had maximum standard sugar losses (1.11%). The Leopard showed the lowest productivity of the purified sweet product - 9.73 t/ha, its root crops, taking into account standard sugar losses, were with the lowest sugar content (15.77%).

Optimization of the pipeline design of wide-span sprinklers and the parameters of the water flow in it can significantly reduce the material consumption and cost of the entire machine, save water and electricity. The purpose of the research is to simulate the flow of water in the pipeline of wide-reach sprinklers, to develop a methodology for optimizing the design parameters of the pipeline and the placement of drainage pipes for sprinklers. As a result of the research, dependences of flow rate changes along the pipeline were obtained, taking into account discreteness, pressure loss. The condition for obtaining identical jets from all taps for sprinklers is presented. A comparison of the results of theoretical and experimental studies confirms the reliability and validity of the use of the theory with uniform disconnection of the flow rate for the calculations of the pipeline of sprinklers, taking into account the introduced discreteness parameter, taking into account the number and location of taps for sprinklers. The presented technique was used in the design of sprinkler machines "Kuban-LK1M" (CASCADE) and CASCADE (Saratov, LLC "Reclamation machines").
Research on the cooling of corn grain in the mound

Two-stage drying is widely used in agriculture in Russia and abroad when grain is under-dried to condition humidity by several percent and left to dry by atmospheric air, thereby saving costs of heat. When using this method, there are questions about determining the minimum air velocity in the layer, the calculation of retention time before and during the ventilating process itself. For different thicknesses of the material layer, the retention time varies greatly - from 6 h to 24 h. This is due to the fact that the duration is usually set empirically by the increased or decreased moisture content during the process. Cooling duration is calculated from the recommended normative specific air supply to the bulk and its consumption per ton of cooled grain, which often leads to overestimated cooling duration. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to substantiate and calculate the permissible specific air supply, as well as the duration of tempering and cooling of grain. Minimum specific air supply during cooling of heated grain depends on the layer thickness, the coefficient of moisture evaporation and the logarithm of the difference between the relative humidity of moisture vapor on the surface of grain and air. The minimum duration of tempering of heated grain is caused by moistening its outer surface and depends on the coefficient of moisture diffusion, the radius of the grain, the thickness of the shell and the logarithm of the difference between the current and equilibrium moisture content. The duration of cooling of the embankment can be calculated according to the dependencies for drying grain at the actual values of air and embankment parameters. Economic studies have shown the admissibility of using the obtained dependencies for calculating the main parameters of the process without reducing the quality of grain.

For three years (2019–2021) in the north-west of the Volgograd region, in the system of ecological variety testing, corn hybrids of various groups of ripeness of selection of Russian breeding institutions were studied, from the early group, FAO 100-139, to the medium-late FAO 300. In different humidification years, the dependence of the corn grain yield and harvesting humidity on the SCC was established. In the dry year 2020, GTK – 0.47, there was the lowest yield in all groups of ripeness. With an increase in the ripeness group, the grain yield increased slightly: FAO 100–139 (2.6 t/ha), FAO 140–169(2.8 t/ha)…. FAO 200–249 (3.6 t/ha). The same pattern persisted in the moderately dry year 2019, GTC - 0.83, in the FAO group 100–139 (3.8 t/ha) to a maximum value of 5.5 t/ha of FAO 250–299. In the wet year 2021, GTK -1.8, the yield of hybrids varied from 4.8 t/ha of FAO 100–139, to the maximum value in the FAO 200–249 group of 6.3t/ha. It was revealed that in a dry year harvesting humidity in the early ripeness groups was low from 13.9% - 16.3%, with an increase in the maturation period from FAO 170–199 to FAO 300, the value of this indicator increased in direct progression, from 17.9 to 22.4%. In the moderately dry, 2019 harvest humidity was higher: FAO 100–139 (15.4%) to .. FAO 300 (24.6%). In the wet year 2021, humidity increased with an increase in the maturity groups of FAO 100–139 16.0% ... to 24.0% of FAO 300. It was noted that the breeding index for all groups of ripeness in a dry year was lower than in moderately dry and wet years. During the three years of research, the highest index value was in the FAO 100–139 group (2.5), in the ripeness groups of FAO 140–169, FAO 170–199, FAO 200–249 (2.3). In later blocks, the coefficient was lower.., FAO 250–299 (2.2), FAO 300 (2.1).

The author proved the high adaptive abilities of sheep of the Stavropol breed, indicators of meat productivity and meat quality, as well as the possibility of further breeding of this breed in arid conditions. The research was conducted in CJSC "New Life" of the Novouzensky district of the Saratov region. The object of research was purebred rams of the Stavropol breed of different intrabreed productivity types. It was found that sheep of wool and wool-meat types grew equally from birth to weaning from mothers, but at 7.5 months the wool-meat type had a live weight of 4.83% higher compared to wool. Morphobiochemical parameters in young animals of both groups were within acceptable norms, but a slight excess was found in the wool-meat type. Sheep of the wool-meat type were superior to wool in pre–slaughter live weight by 4.83%, the mass of the paired carcass – 9.22%, in slaughter yield - 1.73%. The young animals of the wool-meat type had more protein by 0.60%, the wool-fat by 0.70%, so their meat is more complete.

The distribution of bulbs along the length of the planting furrow during planting significantly affects the yield of onions, since the feeding area of the cultivated crop is formed. The planting apparatus has a significant impact on the quality of planting onions, the uniformity of the distribution of bulbs along the length of the planting furrow at the required distance from each other depends on its operation. To drive the planting machines of onion planters, chain reducers with replaceable sprockets are usually used. The design of a stepless gear of an onion planter with selected bearings and their calculation for durability is proposed.
