The successful adoption of assistive technologies for older adults requires considering and evaluating many different factors and dimensions such as effectiveness, usability, cost and equity of access, to name some of the most relevant. In line with this, the energy requirements to power such assistive technologies remains a hidden factor that might to some extent influence the success in their adoption and the user experience in a wider sense. Very often energy availability is taken for granted and its associated costs and operational requirements are mostly neglected. In this paper, the energy-related requirements of assistive technologies are analysed from a general perspective. This analysis is subsequently particularised for a use case within the SHAPES project, in the context of active and healthy ageing. This use case includes a wide variety of assistive technologies, namely: wearable devices, home sensors and a smart mirror, which provides connectivity and a set of software services. The energy requirements of all these technologies are evaluated and analysed to investigate their impact and relevance on the overall cost and user experience, following the proposed protocol.

Published: August 2023

Smart Wearables are considered a very promising solution for monitoring and helping people affected by cognitive decline or dementia and, in particular, Alzheimer Disease (AD). Nonetheless, the acceptability and wearability of such devices for AD patients pose certain challenges. To address this, an empirical study has been conducted with a group of patients with mild to moderate AD, wearing wristbands E4 by Empatica for a duration of three months. The experiment has been integrated into the regular healthcare activities, with active involvement from nurses and physicians. The paper reports the feedbacks of the caregivers and discusses wearability and acceptability issues.
Reflections on Building a Multi-Country AAC Implementation Guide
Authors: Draffan E.A. , Danger Charlie , Banes David
Published: August 2023

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) implementation at any level is a multifaceted process that requires selection of relevant and appropriate systems to suit individual users who may have complex communication needs and other co-occurring difficulties. Careful and systematic action may be required to develop skills and abilities in the use of chosen technologies with suitable ongoing support within a wide range of settings. The wider milieu in which services are provided must also be considered in order to provide a firm foundation for capacity building alongside considerations for multilingual and multicultural factors. UNICEF with the Global Symbols team supported by local professionals working with AAC users, their families and carers set out to collaboratively provide an implementation guide based on their experiences in several Eastern European countries. The aim of the guide was to illustrate work already being undertaken in the area and to ensure the sharing of knowledge and resources where gaps were discovered. The result became a series of linked webpages in an online framework that covered practical aspects for the development of policies and procedures to support early intervention for those with severe speech, language and communication needs across countries of differing cultures and languages. The actual AAC implementation required ingenuity on all sides with translations for pictographic symbol and software adaptations with Cyrillic and Latin alphabets, new synthetic voices alongside deployment and capacity development. Considerable local support was forthcoming and captured with interviews by those working with AAC users as technology was introduced and outcomes measured. As the guide was completed several videos were shared publicly by carers with examples of AAC and assistive technology use. Policies and procedures were also shared in the form of tables, charts, symbol sets, communication boards and software that illustrated not only the occurrence of knowledge transfer and the use of open licenses, but also differences in strategies and the way they were adapted to suit the range of settings in the various countries.

Authors: Slaughter Rohan , Waller Annalu , Griffiths Tom
Published: August 2023

The MSc Educational Assistive Technology (EduAT), is a recently established course, having welcomed the first cohort in January 2021, this group have recently completed their studies. At time of writing (summer 2023) the course is actively recruiting it’s fourth cohort who are due to commence in January 2024. The course is now an established part of the AT training offer as the curriculum has been developed and delivered. This paper supports the presentation prepared for AAATE 2023. The EduAT approach uses the ESCO definition of the Assistive Technologist role, which is briefly summarised. The paper continues with how and why MSc EduAT was developed and explores how this MSc fits into a wider AT training ecosystem, noting roles that EduAT has been designed to support. An overview of the curriculum developed to train assistive technologists is included alongside a summary of what has been learned since the course began. The paper concludes by briefly summarising AT and AAC research group plans that have been informed by the experience of developing and delivering the MSc EduAT, and through the contributions students have made to the authors wider understanding of the assistive technology landscape in the UK and beyond.

Authors: Patrobas Malima , J. Machumu Haruni , Mtawa Ntimi
Published: August 2023

This study investigated the use of digital skills in enhancing learning among teachers and students in Tanzania secondary schools. The study used a sequential exploratory design to collect data through a semi-structured interview and questionnaire techniques. 85 participants including school leaders, students and teachers informed the study. Quantitative data were subject to descriptive statistics and presented using graphs, percentages and frequency tables while thematic analysis informed qualitative data and were presented in excerpts. The study revealed that teachers' and students’ digital skills such as basic computer skills, internet skills, technical skills and collaborative skills influence teaching and learning process in secondary schools. Further, the study reveals that digital infrastructure, availability of internet, professional development, electricity, technical support, readiness, awareness, overcrowded classrooms and socio-economic conditions are factors central to enabling and/or impeding effective use of digital skills in secondary schools. Based on the findings, the study concludes that teachers and students possess and use basic digital skills for teaching and learning. However, the study calls for education stakeholders to continue to put in place enabling digital learning environments that strengthen the integration and use of technology for teaching and learning in secondary schools. As such, the study offers some theoretical and practical insights for all education stakeholders on effective and sustainable ways of integrating digital technologies in pedagogical arrangements and broader education endeavours.

Authors: Amouzou Komla S , Kouevi-Koko T Edem , Foma Winga , Abalo Anani
Published: August 2023

Objective: To describe “Sourire de l’Espoir” humanitarian missions in _X_ on cleft lip and palate (CLP) repair and how it shaped the future of CLP repair in _X_.

Design: Retrospective.

Patients: Clinical files of patients operated for CLP during humanitarian missions from October 2008 to May 2013 in _Y_, the capital of _X_, were reviewed in a nine-month postoperative assessment from June to December 2020. Demographics, clinical, and therapeutic patterns were assessed. We also assessed the Zwisch method used for the training of local surgeons during the missions. Statistical analysis was performed with Epi Info (CDC version 7.1.3.3-2013).

Results: CLP repair was performed in 201 patients during 10 missions. Patients’ mean age was 7.05 (SD 9.22) years (range: 3 months-50 years); the sex ratio was 1.05. Distribution of cases was as follows: Cleft lip (CL) 109/201 (54.23%); cleft palate (CP) 53/201 (26.23%), and CLP 39/201 (19.40%). The Tennison-Borde-Bedouelle-Malek technique was used for the repair of CL in 119/148 patients (80.41%); the Onizuka technique (modified Millard technique) for the revision surgery of CL in 19 patients previously operated in other settings. The Kriens and Sommerlad palatoplasty technique was performed for primary and revision surgeries for all CP in 89/92 (96.73%) patients. The postoperative course was uneventful in 199/201 (99.00%) patients. Two patients died of laryngospasm in the immediate perioperative course. One patient presented with an infection on the lip that healed with local wound care, and two patients with palatal fistula were treated by revision surgery. Three surgeons of the local team were trained as per the Zwisch method: in the first two missions, show and tell (60/201 cases), the third and fourth missions, smart help step (48/201 cases); from the seventh mission onwards, passive assistance (51/201 cases) by the local surgeons with no help.

Conclusion: The “Sourire de l’Espoir” humanitarian missions provided primary and revision surgery to children and adults with CLP while 3 local surgeons were trained to deal with primary cases.
International Clinicians and Academics Supporting the Refugee Journey- A Personal Experience and Perspective
Authors: Kelly Clive
Published: August 2023

Life isn’t always easy, but some have it much harder than others. I’ve spent most of my life looking after people with disability and disease. And within the last decade, I’ve also become involved in caring for refugees as a medical volunteer. Western society is generally sympathetic to those with illness, and at least until recently, those of us responsible for their care have received recognition and usually appreciation. However, our society is much more divided when it comes to refugees. Opinions vary widely and there has been significant resistance to accepting refugees into the UK and some other western countries. Supporting them, even in their own countries, can generate adverse comments or criticism, sometimes from unexpected quarters. This article is a reflection on my role, both as a doctor and a humanitarian, in supporting refugees mainly in their own country. It covers concepts relating to the support of refugees in their own countries with a discussion on how this relates to the provision and development of medical services in parallel. A short commentary on the challenges of supporting them in other countries is included. I describe my experience and achievements, along with the challenges we have faced. I invite comments and constructive criticism, because I believe it is important to share and exchange experience and perspective without rancour.

New unfamiliar criminal patterns have recently appeared due to economic, societal and cultural transformations that have engulfed modern life. This style of crimes is manifested by cybercrimes which began to constitute a serious danger on individuals and their privacies. Modern technology has become a tool to violate law. It has been harnessed to make data loss, breach of ethics and decency or incitement to commit criminal acts. This invasive advancement of technology has significantly contributed to globalizing this novel criminal patterns, which give rise to complex problems in the absence of adequate criminal laws to counter such crimes and to accommodate this modern technology.

Published: August 2023

The territory of geosystems of the Karkaraly low mountains is mainly forest landscapes and dark-chestnut soil cover. The paper reflects the state of the soil and vegetation cover of the forest landscapes of the Karkaraly low mountains in the Karaganda region. The paper provides the results of chemical soil tests, describes the vegetation cover samples using geoinformation technologies based on the standard quantitative index NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), confirmed in field studies in the summer of 2020. The work performed aims at a comprehensive assessment of the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the components of geosystems.

In course of the field study, a brief description of phytodiversity was compiled, indicating the geomorphological attributes of key areas. To study the vegetation, sample plots of the underlying soil and vegetation cover were set. Overview and thematic maps of the object under study were created. At the final stage of the study, the interpretation of the results is presented with the identification of cause-and-effect relationships of the state and fluctuations of geoecosystems. Data sources include satellite images of Landsat-8 (US Geological Survey) and field studies along the routes and four key areas. The results of the work allow defining the object under study, determining the distinctive properties in key areas, as well as possible reasons for the difference in the studied territory of geosystems.

Background and Importance: Meningiomas are usually benign tumors. Depending on their location and size, dealing with them can be problematic. We report an exceptional case of gigantic frontal meningioma. Its diagnosis was misleading and the excision laborious. Case Presentation: A 29-year-old patient who presented gradually over 5 years, developed behavioral disorders then swelling of the vertex at the frontal level and decreased visual acuity. Physical examination on admission revealed a median frontal swelling slightly lateralized to the left axis of approximately 10 cm, hard, covered with the healthy, severe frontal syndrome, and decreased visual acuity. Computerized tomography (CT) scan showed a voluminous medial frontal lesion lateralized to the left, with irregular limits, superior sagittal sinus invasion, brain engagement under the scythe, heterogeneous contrast taking, and significant osteolysis first evoking tumor metastasis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested a meningioma. The resection was macroscopically complete. Dural and cranial plasty was performed. The postoperative follow-up was simple. Histology concluded that the meningioma was grade 1 based on the world health organization (WHO) classification. Conclusion: Late-diagnosis meningiomas can take on very large proportions and pose management problems while seriously engaging the patient functional and vital prognosis.

Background: Although the scientific literature has extensively discussed the impact of the media on people’s health-related behaviors, there is little evidence of the effect of different sources of COVID-19 vaccine news on changing the intention to adhere to health protocols. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the sources of news on the COVID-19 vaccine and the association of each of these sources with the intention of changing adherence to COVID-19 preventive health measures (ICA-COVID-19-PHM). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 1000 public population (67.4% female and 32.6% male) of Mazandaran province (age range: 18 to 60 years). The data were collected between January and April 2021 by completing an unidentified online “Google form” questionnaire via social media platforms, such as Telegram, WhatsApp, Soroush, ETA, and Instagram. The two-level linear regression analysis was used to examine the association between the sources of news on the COVID-19 vaccine and the ICA-COVID-19-PHM (social and personal aspects). Results: The most common sources of receiving news were mass media (radio and television with 54%) and virtual networks with 49%. The results showed the ICA-COVID-19-PHM for the news source via virtual workgroups was positive (B=1.36; 95% CI, 0.31%, 2.41%; P=0.01) and for the news sources via virtual networks (B=-0.83; 95% CI, -1.62%, -0.05%; P=0.04) and satellites and foreign news agencies (B=-1.50; 95% CI, -2.64%, -0.36%; P=0.01) was negative. While, the ICA-COVID-19-PHM was not significant (P>0.05) for other sources, such as groups of friends and neighbors, newspapers and magazines, radio and television, and news websites. Conclusion: The management of news sources in epidemics is important because they have associations with adherence to preventive health measures. Policymakers should consider the distribution of vaccine news sources on the ICA-COVID-19-PHM.

Published: August 2023

The article carries out a strategic analysis of the development of higher education in Ukraine in the context of balancing supply and demand in the labor market using the SWOT analysis method. The following strengths in the functioning of higher education institutions of Ukraine were identified: updating of higher education standards and national qualifications frameworks; changing approaches to learning; practice of dual form of education; introduction of new rules for assigning professional qualifications; improvement of higher education quality assessmentsystems; implementation of corporate strategic management practices in the Higher Education Institutions and approval of development strategies. At the same time, a number ofweaknesses,which are exacerbated by the challenges of the external environment, make it impossible to solve the problem of providing the labor market of Ukraine with specialists with the necessary professional qualifications. Despite European integration, which contributed to the strengthening ofstrengths, problems of providing the market with the necessary specialists can be traced in the practice of higher education institutions (lack of opportunities to finance innovative and research activities, duplication of training areas, excessive load on scientific and pedagogical staff, insufficient consideration of the interests and opinions of interested parties, weak feedback and its formality, etc.). Keywords: system of higher education, imbalance of supply and demand, educational and qualification disparities, needs of the labor market

In January 2022, the bill about the household (household economy) appeared in Ukraine. This document marked the trend of the fact that the Ukrainian legislation still lacks the legal definition of such a way of conducting small business as a household. The potential introduction of this definition can significantly change the paradigm of the approach to the study of small and medium businesses and treat it as a form of family business, due to the specific motives of its economic activity. Analysis in the context of the Aristotelian-Thomistic principle of subsidiarity revealed that small businesses as family businesses through their entrepreneurial activity provide themselves and their family members with adequate financial resources, and therefore do not potentially create additional financial pressure for different budgets levels.

Published: August 2023

The most important goal in health services is to produce patient health outcomes that benefit patients and continue to prioritize the quality of health services. The results of the interviews conducted found that referrals from insurance agents also decreased due to problems related to the variety of services that have an impact on increasing service costs. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of implementing a clinical pathway as a tool for quality and cost control on length of stay, hospital costs, patient health outcomes in groups that implement and do not implement clinical pathways. This study took place at the EMC Pekayon Hospital with a population of all medical record files of patients who had a diagnosis of appendicitis with laparoscopic appendectomy surgery in the period 2021 to November 2022 who met the inclusion criteria, namely 69 patients. Clinical pathway is the independent variable and length of stay, hospital cost, patient health outcome is the dependent variable. The research design used is analysis with qualitative in-depth interviews and documentation studies. The results showed that the implementation of the clinical pathway had an impact on the length of stay, hospital costs and patient health outcomes. The implications of this research in theory will prove the impact of the implementation of research variables and managerially will further improve the service evaluation system in hospitals to improve service quality and cost efficiency.

Glyphosate is a non-selective broad-spectrum herbicide. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have classified it as probably carcinogenic to humans, the indiscriminate use of this herbicide in agriculture continues today, as a consequence of its low cost and effectiveness, as well as of the large number of generic products available. In addition to the adverse health effects, the massive use of glyphosate has caused environmental problems which have direct and indirect effects on agroecosystems. With the introduction of resistant transgenic crops, the use of this herbicide has increased fifteenfold since 1996. Just in the last 26 years, 350 cases of glyphosate resistance among weeds have been reported worldwide; however, multiple resistance has been recorded in 23 weed species in 17 countries around the world. In the future, the dependence on this herbicide will result in multiple resistance among weeds, not only in Mexico, but in more parts of the world than those that have been reported to date.

Authors: Md Ariff Siti Nurkhalida , Deng Phat a/l Awang , Yaakub Yusniza
Published: August 2023

ABSTRAK
Tidak dapat dinafikan lagi bahawa perpaduan kaum di Malaysia belum lagi utuh. Perasaan curiga antara kaum masih lagi wujud kerana sesetengah masyarakat yang terpengaruh dengan sentimen perkauman yang sering dihujahkan oleh pihak-pihak tertentu termasuklah ahli politik. Hal ini telah menyebabkan masyarakat di Malaysia kurang memahami budaya masyarakat lain malah takut untuk bergaul dengan kaum lain. Kepelbagaian budaya di Malaysia perlu diraikan oleh setiap masyarakat di Malaysia dengan berusaha untuk memahami budaya kaum lain. Animasi Upin dan Ipin memainkan peranan dalam mempromosikan budaya majmuk di Malaysia dengan memaparkan perasaan kasih sayang dan keharmonian rakyat Malaysia, malah telah diangkat sebagai duta mahabbah. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti dan menganalisis nilai-nilai pendidikan budaya yang terdapat dalam animasi Upin dan Ipin yang dapat membantu dalam membentuk perpaduan di Malaysia terutamanya dalam kalangan kanak-kanak. Kajian berbentuk kualitatif ini menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan sebagai reka bentuk kajian untuk menyerlahkan nilai pendidikan budaya dalam animasi Upin dan Ipin berdasarkan pandangan Teori Sosiolisasi. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa nilai budaya yang terdapat dalam animasi Upin dan Ipin memberikan pengetahuan yang baharu tentang kepelbagaian budaya di Malaysia, serta penting sebagai satu usaha memupuk perpaduan di Malaysia.
ABSTRACT
 
It can’t be denied that racial unity in Malaysia is not perfectly intact. Feelings of prejudices among races still exist due to the influences of racial sentiments that  often argued by certain parties including politicians. This has created lack of understanding among Malaysian regarding other culture and even afraid to mingle with other races. Cultural diversity  needs to be celebrated by every community in Malaysia through understanding of the culture of every Malaysian. Upin and Ipin animations play a role in promoting pluralistic culture in Malaysia by displaying the feelings of love and harmony as Malaysians, and have even been appointed as ambassadors of love. Therefore, this study aims to identify and analyze the values of cultural values found in Upin and Ipin animation that can assist forming unity in Malaysia especially among children. This qualitative study uses the content analysis method as a research design to highlight the value of cultural values in Upin and Ipin animation based on the view of Socialization Theory. The results of the study found that the cultural values found in Upin and Ipin animation provide new knowledge about cultural diversity in Malaysia, as well as being important as an effort to gain unity in Malaysia.

ABSTRACT
Folklore is an identity for the Malay community because of the nobility of heart contained in it. Folklore were elaborated by ‘penglipur lara’ in order to match the life conditions of the Malay community at that time and at the same time used as a guide for the younger generation such as children and teenagers. However, folklore began to be marginalized due to the current of modernity experienced by society today. Accordingly, this study was carried out to identify and analyze the intellectual values contained in Malay folklore for children and teenagers. This study focuses on three folklore titled Amukan Lembaga Hitam, Misteri Penunggu Panau and Haji Mahmud Tokoh Agama. These three folklore were obtained in Tanah Merah, Kelantan. This study uses a qualitative design, which is based on library and interview methods to obtain authentic information. The theory of Malay methodology through a community approach is used as deductive in this study. As a result, this study found that intellectual values is used as a teaching medium that simultaneously reveals the sociocultural interpretation of the Malay community through the folklore presented.
A Critical Discourse Analysis of Ideology and Power Relations in a Political Interview
Authors: Al Amery Amer Sagheer Allwan
Published: August 2023

Political interviews are important political actions that are conducted to explain the political trends, actions, views and stances. They are usually embedded with covert and overt political ideologies that aim to affect others' political positions, stances and shape public opinions. The researcher tries to detect the ideologies and power relations manifested during a prewar on Iraq interview conducted on BBC with British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The researcher uses Wodak's (2015) critical discourse approach as a framework for the analysis with the aim of raising the awareness of the readers of the ideologies and power relations in such interviews. The results show the existence of a dynamic, powerful interaction as both sides use whatever power resources they have to dominate the interaction, exercising power and perpetuating their political ideologies.

The principles of implementing public interest within the realm of environmental protection in Ukraine and the EU member states have been analyzed. This analysis draws significantly from Poland’s legislative frameworks and scholarly contributions. The premise of the analysis is anchored in the recognition of the paramount importance of shaping social and environmental interests (public interests), the absence of which hampers the efficient implementation of contemporary environmental policies. Fundamental premise of this analysis underscores for a harmonious interrelation between society’s environmental and economic interests. This encompasses the integration of social and private ecological interests, which should be coupled with the assurance of appropriate protection for upholding human rights, ensuring a secure natural environment for the present and future generations. Thus, this article emphasizes on the necessity of devising an efficient mechanism for actualizing public environmental interests. This entails bestowing the relevant competence upon distinct State authorities to address matters within this domain. Importantly, this should be executed while upholding the safeguards of State sovereignty and adhering to the defined tenets of State environmental policy.

An important factor in the stability and quality of gels during production, storage and use as part of confectionery and culinary products is their heat resistance, which depends on the ingredient composition and the content of dry substances. The article is devoted to the thermogravimetric analysis of agar-based hydrogels in combination with honey and sesame flour for the production of bars. The study consisted of two stages. At the first, experimental samples were studied - individual ingredients of the finished hydrogel: agar 1200 TM "Fujian Province" (China), food glycerin TM BASF (Germany), sunflower honey and sesame flour TM "Useful flour" (Ukraine). At the second stage, samples of agar hydrogels were prepared with the required amount of auxiliary ingredients: "agar 1%-water-glycerol 0.2%", "agar 1%-water-glycerol 0.2%-honey 25%", "agar 1%- water-glycerin 0.2%-honey 25%-sesame flour 20%".The comparative analysis of the curves showed that at all stages of decomposition of the experimental samples, mass losses occur due to water evaporation. It was investigated that the final mass loss for pure agar from the beginning of the experiment was 16.91% (16.75 mg), the change in the mass of glycerin was 0.17% (0.21 mg), the mass loss of sunflower honey was 46.06% ( 56.20 mg.), and for sesame flour, the mass change was 7.25% (8.92 mg). However, in complex gels, there was a decrease in the rate of water removal, which is associated with the appearance of additional bonds between agar and recipe components - honey and sesame flour. It was established that at the end of the experiment, the mass of the test sample, namely "agar-water-glycerin", changed by 42% (44.10 mg), the mass loss of the "agar-water-glycerin-sunflower honey" sample was 33.40% ( 36.74 mg.), the mass of the sample "agar-water-glycerin-sunflower honey-sesame flour" gradually decreased and at the end of the experiment changed by 28.82% (34.59 mg) at the temperature, which is associated with the evaporation of water phases.

Environmental pollution with organic waste from livestock, especially cattle manure, is relevant for various countries of the world, including the United States of America and the countries of the European Union. Manure, which contains toxic heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, copper and zinc, is a much greater threat to agroecosystems and, in particular, to the soil. In the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine, a scientific and economic experiment was conducted on dairy cows for the production of ecologically safe milk. During the experiment, the research groups were fed a special mineral-vitamin premix and an injection of a biological preparation that enhanced the elimination of heavy metals with excrement. Experiments were conducted in four farms with different livestock. At the end of the experiment, 10 samples of manure mass were taken from each farm (total of 40 samples) and a chemical analysis of the concentration of heavy metals Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn was made using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (spectrophotometer AAS-30). It was established that as a result of the content in animal diets of fodder with exceeding the maximum allowable concentrations of heavy metals, they, passing through the gastrointestinal tract, fall together with excrement into manure. The average concentration of cadmium was 0.07-0.11 mg/ kg, lead 5.48-8.25 mg/kg, copper 37.71-47.42 mg/ kg, zinc 66.55-81.49 mg / kg. Litter manure is subsequently applied to agricultural land as an organic fertilizer. In order to prevent soil contamination with heavy metals, it is necessary to establish the expediency of applying organic fertilizers to vegetable and fodder crops in each specific case, especially those that are fed to dairy cows. In connection with the difficulty, in today's conditions, for farmers to purchase a sufficient amount of mineral fertilizers, to increase the use of organic fertilizers, if their quantity is sufficient in the farm, but their application to the soil should be controlled and standardized, taking into account the concentration of toxicants in the manure mass and the soil of agricultural lands with simultaneous improvement of grinding and uniformity of distribution over the field. The use of modern equipment for crushing and spreading manure, as well as scientifically based methods of its composting, growing vermiculture, synanthropic fly larvae or biogas production will contribute to the introduction of manure into the soil as an ecologically safe organic fertilizer, will positively affect its mechanical and physical chemical properties, will ensure a good economically effective yield of crops, ecological safety of agroecosystems, cows with ecologically safe feed.Keywords: average daily hopes, premix, bioprepared, cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, contaminated feeds, antidote substances.

Environmental problems of industrial and organic poultry farming
Authors: Karkach P. , Mashkin Y. , Fesenko V.

Poultry farming, using modern intensive farming methods, is one of the most efficient livestock industries that ensures food security for a large part of the world’s population. In the context of industrial poultry farming, the largest share of global production (up to 98 % of meat and 92 % of eggs) is accounted for by broiler chickens (to a lesser extent, turkeys, ducks, geese, etc.), as well as by food eggs obtained from modern egg crosses of chickens. The global poultry production is estimated at 137.8 million tons and 86.3 million metric tons of eggs in 2021, with steady growth every year. Taking into account the wishes of consumers, European countries are increasingly switching to the production of organic poultry products, believing that this way they can best meet consumer requirements based on three main dimensions of quality assessment: 1) the safety of poultry housing; 2) the safety of organic products for human health; 3) the safety of organic production for the environment. Improvement of poultry housing conditions is aimed at using extensive production systems, such as organic systems, free-range systems with lower stocking densities. Such systems are becoming increasingly popular, especially in the European Union, and are aimed at improving farming conditions and poultry welfare, reducing environmental impact and increasing the sustainability of the industry. However, both intensive farming methods in industrial and organic poultry production lead to significant impacts on human health and the environment. Wastes such as poultry manure and used litter are associated with ammonia, nitrogen oxide and methane emissions that contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions and pose a serious threat to the environment and human health. Poultry waste can contain pesticide residues, pathogens, pharmaceuticals (antibiotics), hormones, metals, macronutrients (in the wrong proportions) and other pollutants that can lead to air, soil and water pollution, as well as the formation of multidrug-resistant strains. The analysis shows that industrial poultry farming can be more controlled than organic farming in terms of environmental safety.
