Queer-haptic aesthetics in the films of Lucrecia Martel and Albertina Carri
Authors: Molloy Missy
Published: May 2017

Lucrecia Martel and Albertina Carri are contemporaneous Argentine directors whose films are frequently included in the category ‘New Argentine Cinema’. Often interpreted as indictments of bourgeois cultural values, Martel’s La ciénaga/The Swamp (Martel, 2001), La niña santa/The Holy Girl (Martel, 2004) and La mujer sin cabeza/The Headless Woman (Martel, 2008) spotlight sexual, racial and economic inequalities that manifest in unconventional desires and sudden violence. Although more explicitly sexual and violent, Géminis/Geminis (Carri, 2005) and La rabia/Anger (Carri, 2008) similarly undermine heteronormative social conventions, the former film depicting sibling incest and the latter displacing idealized representations of rural life with images of sexual deviance and animal cruelty. This article presents haptic and queer analyses of these filmmakers’ works to reveal overlaps in their sociopolitical critiques. The interpretations also demonstrate the utility of queer-haptic cinematic strategies, through which Martel and Carri expose alternative vantages on queer desires.

Published: May 2017

We study the problem of
k
-means clustering in the presence of outliers. The goal is to cluster a set of data points to minimize the variance of the points assigned to the same cluster, with the freedom of ignoring a small set of data points that can be labeled as outliers. Clustering with outliers has received a lot of attention in the data processing community, but practical, efficient, and provably good algorithms remain unknown for the most popular
k
-means objective.

Our work proposes a simple local search-based algorithm for
k
-means clustering with outliers. We prove that this algorithm achieves constant-factor approximate solutions and can be combined with known sketching techniques to scale to large data sets. Using empirical evaluation on both synthetic and large-scale real-world data, we demonstrate that the algorithm dominates recently proposed heuristic approaches for the problem.
One-pass error bounded trajectory simplification
Authors: Lin Xuelian , Ma Shuai , Zhang Han , Wo Tianyu , Huai Jinpeng
Published: May 2017

Nowadays, various sensors are collecting, storing and transmitting tremendous trajectory data, and it is known that raw trajectory data seriously wastes the storage, network band and computing resource. Line simplification (LS) algorithms are an effective approach to attacking this issue by compressing data points in a trajectory to a set of continuous line segments, and are commonly used in practice. However, existing LS algorithms are not sufficient for the needs of sensors in mobile devices. In this study, we first develop a one-pass error bounded trajectory simplification algorithm (OPERB), which scans each data point in a trajectory once and only once. We then propose an aggressive one-pass error bounded trajectory simplification algorithm (OPERB-A), which allows interpolating new data points into a trajectory under certain conditions. Finally, we experimentally verify that our approaches (OPERB and OPERB-A) are both efficient and effective, using four real-life trajectory datasets.
MILC

Published: May 2017

Inverted list compression is a topic that has been studied for 50 years due to its fundamental importance in numerous applications including information retrieval, databases, and graph analytics. Typically, an inverted list compression algorithm is evaluated on its space overhead and query processing time. Earlier list compression designs mainly focused on minimizing the space overhead to reduce expensive disk I/O time in disk-oriented systems. But the recent trend is shifted towards reducing query processing time because the underlying systems tend to be memory-resident. Although there are many highly optimized compression approaches in main memory, there is still a considerable performance gap between query processing over compressed lists and uncompressed lists, which motivates this work.

In this work, we set out to bridge this performance gap for the first time by proposing a new compression scheme, namely, MILC (memory inverted list compression). MILC relies on a series of techniques including offset-oriented fixed-bit encoding, dynamic partitioning, in-block compression, cache-aware optimization, and SIMD acceleration. We conduct experiments on three real-world datasets in information retrieval, databases, and graph analytics to demonstrate the high performance and low space overhead of MILC. We compare MILC with 12 recent compression algorithms and experimentally show that MILC improves the query performance by up to 13.2× and reduces the space overhead by up to 4.7×.

Apache Spark is a popular framework for data analytics with attractive features such as fault tolerance and interoperability with the Hadoop ecosystem. Unfortunately, many analytics operations in Spark are an order of magnitude or more slower compared to native implementations written with high performance computing tools such as MPI. There is a need to bridge the performance gap while retaining the benefits of the Spark ecosystem such as availability, productivity, and fault tolerance. In this paper, we propose a system for integrating MPI with Spark and analyze the costs and benefits of doing so for four distributed graph and machine learning applications. We show that offloading computation to an MPI environment from within Spark provides 3.1−17.7× speedups on the four sparse applications, including all of the overheads. This opens up an avenue to reuse existing MPI libraries in Spark with little effort.

Loan pricing under estimation risk
Authors: Neuberg Richard , Hannah Lauren
Published: May 2017

Financial product prices often depend on unknown parameters. Their estimation introduces the risk that a better informed counterparty may strategically pick mispriced products. Understanding estimation risk, and how to properly price it, is essential. We discuss how total estimation risk can be minimized by selecting a probability model of appropriate complexity. We show that conditional estimation risk can be measured only if the probability model predictions have little bias. We illustrate how a premium for conditional estimation risk may be determined when one counterparty is better informed than the other, but a market collapse is to be avoided, using a simple example from pricing regime credit scoring. We empirically examine the approach on a panel data set from a German credit bureau, where we also study dynamic dependencies such as prior rating migrations and defaults.

Diving in to new materialist theory, this paper explores what might be learnt at a public swimmingpool, through poetry as arts-based research. Writing, sitting, thinking and swimming, the learnerenters new spaces and atmospheres, where learning emerges as unpredictable and involving awhole range of human and non-human bodies. Public spaces, where we can think about causalityand design without the strictures of school curriculum, may emerge as key sites for new  understandings of learning where abiding humanist preoccupations can slip away. While this papercannot offer the physical and material movement, touching, flesh, smelling, silicone, cotton andwater of the poem as performed at the Public Pedagogies Institute conference in Melbourne in2015, readers can still be prepared to get changed!
The Phenomenology of Monologue Writing as Pedagogy
Authors: Welsh Scott
Published: May 2017

This article explores the notion that for playwrights, actors, students of theatre or indeed anyone,the writing of monologues can be the catalyst for reflection on the nature of human existence, aswell as an exercise in educational phenomenology. It also suggests that the playwright’s processes,such as monologue writing, can be seen as a form of pedagogical practice and building onthat, a form of public pedagogy.The practice-led research drawn on in this article involves students participating in the process ofmonologue writing workshops conducted in two settings: in a secondary school with a group ofdrama students (nine students and two teachers), and in a university teacher-training setting (23pre-service teachers). In the first setting the process was used to explore issues of social labelling,and in the second setting, the pre-service teachers were asked to consider the point of view of students from whom they felt a sense of disconnection. The creative process of writing monologues,traditionally confined to theatre practice and the drama classroom, was used with the aim offostering empathy between the pre-service teachers and their students.
The First Farmers of Ukraine: an Archaeobotanical Investigation and AMS Dating of Wheat Grains from the Ratniv-2 Site
Authors: Matuzevičiūtė Giedrė Motuzaitė , Telizhenko Sergey
Published: May 2017

This paper presents the results of archaeobotanical investigations performed during excavations of a Linear Pottery Culture (LBK) site in western Ukraine. The collection of cultivated plants and weeds found in the hearth of the LBK dwelling fits well with what was grown by LBK inhabitants elsewhere in Europe. The direct dating of cereal grains reveals the existence of early-stage LBK in Ukraine during a much earlier timeframe than previously thought. The new archaeobotanical results and their dates exclude other previously postulatedtheories on the timing and geographical origins of agriculture in Ukraine, pointing towards the western LBK phenomenon as the earliest carrier of crop cultivation to Ukraine.
GRUZIJOS SAUGUMO POLITIKOS POKYČIAI PO 2012 METŲ IR KINTANTI SAUGUMO TAPATYBĖ
Authors: Janeliūnas Tomas
Published: May 2017

Pasikeitus valdančiosioms jėgoms, 2012–2013 m. Gruzija sustabdė savo saugumo sektoriaus stiprinimą, sušvelnino retoriką Rusijos atžvilgiu ir pasirinko laukimo bei neprovokavimo taktiką. Rusijos nebelaikymas grėsme Gruzijoje nesutapo su ES ir NATO šalyse stiprėjančio sugrėsminimo kryp­timi. Priešingai – Rusijos keliami pavojai Gruzijoje tikslingai buvo nebelai­komi grėsme, stengiantis nedidinti įtampos su Rusija ir vengti galimos agre­syvios reakcijos iš Maskvos pusės. Straipsnyje remiamasi konstruktyvistine prielaida, kad pastarųjų metų pokyčiai Gruzijos saugumo ir užsienio politi­koje įvyko dėl saugumo tapatybės dinamikos. Ši dinamika buvo galima tiek dėl Gruzijos vidaus pokyčių – elito ir visuomenės sutarimu iš naujo persvars­tytų vertybių ir prioritetų, – tiek dėl pasikeitusios tarptautinės aplinkos, kuri susiaurino galimus strateginius Gruzijos pasirinkimus saugumo politikoje. Atsižvelgiant į tai, kokios dažniausiai nurodomos mažųjų valstybių saugumo strategijos, Gruzija išlieka neapibrėžtoje ir neužtikrintoje „strateginio lauki­mo“ fazėje – kai norima vienu metu ir siekti euroatlantinės integracijos, ir nekonfliktuoti su Rusija. Vis dėlto straipsnyje daroma išvada, kad tokia tar­pinė padėtis tarp „aljansų siekimo“ ir „autonomijos saugojimo“ gali būti ne tik strategiškai stokojanti aiškaus pagrindimo, bet ir labai priklausoma nuo išorinių aplinkybių, visų pirma – pokyčių santykiuose tarp Rusijos ir Vakarų.
AR MODERNI DEMOKRATIJA YRA POLITINĖ SANTVARKA?
Authors: Karalius Gintas
Published: May 2017

Straipsnio tikslas yra pateikti modernios demokratijos sampratos kri­tiką menkai politinės filosofijos išnaudotu būdu, keliant tokį klausimą: ar liaudies suverenumo ir piliečių socialinės lygybės principais grįsta moderni demokratija gali būti vadinama politine santvarka? Abejonė dėl demokrati­jos priskyrimo politinių santvarkų šeimai yra gana naujas būdas pažvelgti į paskutinių kelių amžių politinėje filosofijoje nagrinėjamus atstovaujamo­sios demokratijos vidinius prieštaravimus. Straipsnyje, daugiausia remiantis Apšvietos epochos ir XIX a. prancūzų demokratijos mąstytojų mintimis, na­grinėjamos priežastys, kodėl moderni demokratijos samprata yra pasmerkta blaškytis tarp socialinių mokslų skatinamo redukcinio požiūrio į politiką ir kone sakralią formą įgavusio, tačiau turinio prasme tuščio jos idealizavimo. Mėginama išsiaiškinti, kokie galėtų būti politinės filosofijos uždaviniai, sie­kiant išgryninti modernios demokratijos sąvoką nuo dogmatiškai suprantamų jos atributų. Straipsnyje plėtojama mintis, kad moderni demokratija reiškia nebe politinę santvarką, o veikiau valdžios legitimacijos principą, kuris struktūriškai primena religijos imitaciją – t. y. pseudoreligiją.

Authors: Holubieva T. A.
Published: May 2017

The expediency of use of brewer’s dried grain in feeding of the young quails meat direction of productivity. It has no negative impact on digestibility and balance of Nitrogen in the body. The study was conducted in a scientific and experimental laboratory of feed additives of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine on quail breed Pharaoh. Four groups of quails were formed with 100 heads each. Physiological experiments were carried out at 16–21 and 30–35 days old. For the experiments from the experimental groups, 4 heads were selected. As a result, it was proved that the digestibility of the feed changed with age and did not depend on the level of input of the brewer’s dried grain. Adding 2–4% of brewer’s dried grain in the mixed fodder contributed to the increase in organic matter digestibility by 1.5% and 1.7% in the first period and 2–2.6% in the second period of experience. In physiological experiments, the digestibility of the fiber was lower in the poultry, to which a brewer’s dried grain was added to the mixed fodder. The lowest digestibility of fiber was a bird with a level of 6% dry spent grain. Protein digestibility in poultry, which in the mixed fodder was introduced brewer’s dried grain, was higher than that which is not fed to a brewer’s dried grain.When reaching quails of 30–35-day-old age, the level of Nitrogen consumption in comparison with the previous period increased by 13–15%. The amount of Nitrogen consumed with food in the birds of the individual groups was different. The greatest amount of Nitrogen was retained in the body by quail, consuming mixed feeds containing 4% of dry beer pellets. They were controlling by 6.2% in this indicator. Compared with the control, less Nitrogen was contained in the body of the bird, which fed mixed fodder with 6% of dry beer pellets – by 1.2%.

Published: May 2017

The influence of bullock`s different breeding value for reproductive ability and milk production of their  daughters were investigated. Established that the age of first productive insemination of heifers Ukrainian black spotted milk breed, was 17.5–18.6 months and age of first calving – 26.6–27.8 months. Heifers` live weight at the first insemination was 361.4–407.1 kg. During first lactation the highest productivity had daughters from parents with breeding value by milk yield more than 801 kg. In the first lactation wasn’t found significant difference in duration service-period and interparturition-period for cows derived from progenitors with different breeding value. In the second lactation best indexes in duration service-period and interparturition-period for cows derived from progenitors with breeding value by milk yield 601–800 kg and more than 801 kg. In the third, the highest lactation, these indexes were best for cows derived from progenitors with breeding value by milk yield 601–800 kg. The difference in milk yield during first lactation between heifers received from progenitors with breeding value by milk yield less than 200 kg and heifers from bullock`s  with breeding value 401–600 kg was 292 kg. The difference in milk yield between heifers received from progenitors with breeding value by milk yield less than 200 kg and heifers from bullock`s  with breeding value  with breeding value 601–800 kg  was 660.3 kg. The difference in milk yield between heifers received from progenitors with breeding value by milk yield less than 200 kg and heifers from bullock`s  with breeding value more than 801 kg was  920.8 kg In the second lactation this difference was 589.8 (Р < 0.001), 841.5 (Р < 0.001) і 894.4 (Р < 0.001) kg of milk, in the third, the highest lactation – 754.5 (Р < 0.001), 951.8 (Р < 0.001) і 1335.7 кг (Р < 0.001).
The impact of reproductive capacity indicators of simmental cattle on their milk productivity
Authors: Fedorovych V. V.
Published: May 2017

It is well known with an increase of milk productivity of cows their reproductive capacity in general became worse. Therefore, it is important to establish optimal parameters of the first age insemination and first calving, duration of service- and inter-calving periods. In view of the above, the purpose of our researches was to study the influence of reproductive capacity parameters of Simmental cows on the formation of milk productivity. The study were conducted on 331 cows in agricultural LLC «Litynskyy» Drohobych raion, Lviv oblast. Evaluation of milk productivity and reproductive capacity of the animals (in 20 years) were performed according to the data of zootechnical accounting for the first, second, third and the best lactations. The differences in rates of milk productivity depending on the parameters of their reproductive capacity were established. Animals with age of first fruitful insemination 18.1–20.0, with first calving age – 27.1–29.0, duration of service period – 101–120 and duration of the inter-calving period – 381–400 days had the best yields and the highest quantity of milk fat. According to the above mentioned indicators of milk productivity they are likely dominated by animals with bigger or smaller indicators of reproductive capacity, but in most cases, this advantage was unreliable. It was found positive highly significant links between indicators of reproductive capacity of cows and milk yield. The highest correlation coefficients were observed between age of first calving and their milk yields, depending on lactation, they were 0.380–0.498, lower – between age of first insemination and milk yield – 0.316–0.456 and the lowest – between service- and inter-calving periods and yield – 0.124–0.335; 0.127–0.331 respectively. The impact of the abovementioned indicators on yield was within 23.13–39.88; 28.63–45.02; 30.98–35.17%, respectively.

The effect of additives in feeding-stuffs with the various dose of selenium on morphological and biochemical blood indicators of ducklings, which are raised for the purpose of meat, is examined. It is established, that additives in feeding-stuffs with the different dose of selenium stimulate hemocytopoiesiswithin the physiological normal range, what the simultaneous increasing tendency of the amount of erythrocytes, leucocytes and the content of hemoglobin in the peripheral blood of young birds proves; they activate the mechanism of immune protection, that is shown with the increasing of general protein level and immunoglobin concentrations in serum. The revealed changes in the content of general glutathione in blood and its restored form confirm the positive influence of selenium on non-enzymatic link of the antioxidative protecting system of the bird organism. The inclusion of selenium into feeding-stuffs for ducklings, which are raised for the purpose of meat, more significantly reverberated through morphological and biochemical indicators of bloodata dose of 0,4 mg/kg.
Curent state and futyre of using the biotechnological methods of reproduction in sheeps breeding
Authors: Sharan M. , Grymak K.
Published: May 2017

The analysis of publication related to the usage of embryo transplantation method in breeding sheep had been conducted. It is proved that the theoretical basis of the method of embryo transplantation is the large number of germ cells in the ovaries of females, most of which during the  usual method of reproduction does not participate in these processes, and the high probability of inheriting genetic characteristics of embryos after transplantation by  recipient. On this basis, from females throughout her life we can get a few dozen of descendants. The main aspects of embryos transplantation technology is to development of new methods that will ensure obtaining of the greatest number of good-quality embryos with desirable genotypes, both by the induction of multiple ovulation and by cultivation of  follicular oocytes outside the body. It has been defined, that its usage is limited by a number of factors that are not well studіed and many of them are contradictional, in particular unpredictable results of the multiple ovulation induction. The development of the method of predicting the results of polyovulation will significantly increase the efficiency of embryos transplantation and significantly reduce the cost of labor and financial resources. It has been shown, that one of the main factors of making transplantation more practical is to develop the methods of embryos cryopreservation. This will simplify the selection of recipients and donors by the sexual cycle, will further long distance transportation and will enable the transplantation in the planned breeding herds. The further of the method, along with modern advances of genetics, embryology, endocrinology, will in the near future lead to develop a comprehensive method for the accelerated creation in sheep breeding flocks of high performance animals.

The influence of probiotic «Monosporin» on the growth performance of piglets using feed rations  varying degrees of balance. Is defined nutrients of basic ratio which is used at the farm, and normalized by the inclusion of corn bran and premix «Tekro». It is shown that the use of the basic diet with probiotic live weight of piglets increased by 1.3% and the average daily weight gain of animals – by 1.7–2.3% over the control. By using normalized diet with probiotic preparations value of body weight and daily weight gain of young pigs increased by 13.2–18.7% and 19.4–39.2% respectively. Comparison of productivity indices of piglets who consumed diets normalized without probiotics and with probiotic, indicates a an increase of 3.0–6.5% and 7.5–11.7% in favor of the latter. Along with the increase of animal growth performance using normalized diets with probiotic preparation «Monosporin» costs of fodder units per 1 kg of gain is reduced by 25.3%. The results indicate that the effect of the use of probiotics is associated with the fact that increases the digestibility of feed, improving their digestibility, it activates the body's metabolism, stimulates the synthesis of amino acids, vitamins, enzymes and antibiotic substances that suppress pathogens and increase the overall resistance of the animal organism to viral diseases and various adverse (stressful) factors. In assessing the cost efficiency of using normalized ration with the addition of premix TM «Tekro» and probiotic «Monosporin» shows that in complex their application the best result is observed: the level of profitability of 47.7%, and the profit from the sale of 1 head – 185.09 UAH. While the profitability of pork production of using probiotic  together with the basic feed ration is 7,8%.

Costs highly specialized feed for growing trout reach 70% of the total cost of the fish, so the features of feeding, nutritional feed and cultivation technology is relevant and of interest to manufacturers. Today on the Ukrainian market sales volume of feed for trout is a leading foreign firms: Aller Aqua, Biomar, Skretting and others. The quality of the manufactured products of domestic manufacturers often inferior to the requirements of the feed for trout, as domestic production is not always withstand competition. Therefore, at the present rate of trout industry as a promising field of fish farming, and the corresponding demand for feed for valuable fish species such high dependence on imports, now greatly reduces the volume of cold-water aquaculture cultivation sites that accordingly obliges producers special animal feed to improve their quality. The basis of our research is tasked with optimizing normalized using feeding trout feed «Aller Aqua» and results analysis and comparative characteristics of growing trout using Ukrainian feed manufacturers. Purpose is to clarify the nature of the impact of feed «Aller Aqua» and physiological metabolism, growth, development, reproduction and obtaining marketable products rainbow trout that could be the basis for conclusions about the appropriateness and use of feed rules «Aller Aqua», and the possibility of alternative feed means in terms of economy.

On  the first stage  experiments  are conducted  by the aim of establishment  on  how  many higher the real indexes of fresh sperm and dilute protective environments after moving away of cellular debris, extraneous cages and dead cages. On the second stage, comparison of basic physiological indexes of the fertilization faction got from deconservation sperm and compared to the corresponding indexes of з sperm was conducted, that was not subject to the special cleansing procedure. Difference  between research and control groups, in relation to survivability of sperm and index of absolute survivability of sperm was statistically reliable (Р < 0,001), as for fresh sperm so for sperm, that carried freezing and  thawing in liquid nitrogen. Faction of sperm, that has impregnating ability potentially, as fresh sperm so that was subject to freezing and thawing substantially differ in the row of biological indexes of sperm,  that creates  the necessity  of introduction of new additional descriptions for the analysis of sperm. Index  of  survivability  of  sperm, that potentially has impregnating ability at  deconservation  sperm rose on three hours or on a 32,8 percent’s . Index of absolute survivability of sperm, that potentially has impregnating ability rose on 8,19 conditional units. The modernized method of estimation of quality of sperm of bulls is offered. It is  set that  treatment of sperm with the  use of gradients of closeness exceeds the indexes of activity, to  survivability and absolute survivability as at  fresh standards of sperm so at  deconservation standards of sperm, that gives an opportunity more objectively  to describe quality of sperm. Results over of researches of biological quality of  sperm of bulls of meat blackly-pied and red-pied suckling breed are brought depending on the method of treatment of tests. Additional  descriptions of analysis sperm are entered, they can become the major criteria of estimation of full value and impregnating ability.

In the article was discusses the questions about the effect of feeding chelate complexes of trace elements of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn) on morphological and biochemical blood indicators of cows of Ukrainian black mottled dairy breed on the second month of lactation. For the experiment, 40 cows were selected and formed four groups: one control and three experimental. The cows in the control group fed a premix of sulfate salts of Cu, Zn and Mn in doses that are 100% covered their lack in a forage. Experimental animals from I, II and III groups were fed premixes with chelate complexes of Cu, Zn and Mn, which offset the deficiency of trace elements in the feed ration for 100, 50 and 25% (calculated on pure element), respectively. In animal blood examined the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, phagocytic activity of neutrophils, and in serum – total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, total calcium, inorganic phosphorus, carotene, creatinine, urea, cholesterol, activity of AST, ALT and alkaline phosphatase. As a result studies, have shown that blood indicators of the animals were within physiological fluctuations. Found that in the serum of animals of III experimental group the contents of total protein was lowered by 4.1% (P < 0.05) than in the first, and by 3.6% (P < 0.1) relative to the second group. It was determined that the concentration of albumin and total calcium in serum of II experimental group of cows was higher by 4.6% and by 6.0% (P < 0.1), respectively, relative to the third group. Content of inorganic phosphorus in the blood serum of animals of II group was higher at trends over the indicator in the serum of animals of the control and first experimental groups by 8.1% and by 6.9%, respectively. According to other indicators of animals blood does not have significant difference.

We studied the milk production, the condition of nutritional status, the intensity of growth and development of suckling lambs and the activity of individual enzymes in the blood plasma  with optimization of the level of protein and energy in rations of lactating ewes of Ascanian meat and wool breed in the Foothills of the Carpathians. It is known, that the geochemical zone of the Carpathian region is characterized by specific protein composition and energy value of feeds. Therefore, studies aimed at adjusting the rations of pregnant and lactating ewes of the Askanian breed in this zone according to the level of protein and energy in the winter-stall period and their influence on the productive qualities and course of metabolism in animals, have an important scientific and practical significance. The study was carried out on 2 groups of lactating ewes-analogues (10 heads each) of Askanian meat and wool breed with crossbred wool in the  «Hrusyatychi» Farm of the Institute of Agriculture of the Carpathian region of the National Academy of Sciences, during the stall period. The duration of the experiment is 90 days. The diet of the ewes of the control group consisted of 1.6 kg of hay meadow, 0.5 kg of whole grain of oats and 0.5 kg of compound feed according to the prescription K80-6-89, the research group's ewes received experimental mixed feeds, in which the part of the grain base was replaced with pea bran, sunflower and canola rapeseed meal and linseed meal. The diet of the control and experimental groups differed insignificantly. The diet of the control group of ewes contained 21.7 MJ of exchange energy, 187 g of digestible protein, 2.29 kg of dry matter, and in the diet of the experimental group, respectively, 22.1 MJ of exchange energy, 188 g of digestible protein and 2.26 kg of dry matter . In one kilogram of dry matter, the fodder of the sheep of the control group contained 9.5 MJ of exchange energy, and the experimental group animals – 9.8 MJ. It was found, that adjusting the level of protein and energy in the standard feed for lactating ewes in the zone of the Carpathians by introducing into it of local high-protein supplements   provides maintaining the weights for the lactation period;  increase  the average daily milk yield after suckling lambs by 23.8%;  increase the average daily growth of suckling lambs by 6.7–13.9%; physiological level of activity of alanineaminotransferase, aspartateaminotransferase and lactatedehydrogenase in blood plasma.

La cohesión espacial puede ser también cohesión social en tanto se construya territorios de inclusión. Es decir, entre la segregación social y la integración urbana se ubica la estrategia de la cohesión espacial de los tejidos colectivos, aquellos que forman –aún- la base física de las relaciones humanas en el proceso de territorialización, cohesión que sin embargo está en el terreno de la prospectiva y en la agenda de los proyectos, es un programa de trabajo tanto académico como político.La búsqueda de un territorio-inclusivo, frente a la ciudad-represión, se expresa en el proyecto de la cohesión espacial de uso colectivo, cohesión que exige por lo menos calidad y legibilidad arquitectónica, y la búsqueda de una estructura territorial para los equipamientos colectivos y en específico, una arquitectura para la calle como hábitat de protección, implica una aproximación que se expresa por lo menos en dos vectores: su base cartográfica y la indagación programática. Estas dos demandas pasan por lo tanto por una plataforma-software claramente superior a un  temario  normativo.
