Authors: Yatsentyuk S. P.
Published: October 2023

The study aimed to obtain information about the microbial communities in bull sperm, which is used for artificial insemination. The research included ten samples of cryopreserved bull sperm obtained from domestic breeding farms and 24 imported sperm samples. Next-generation sequencing technology on the Illumina Miseq platform was used for the analysis. Bioinformatics analysis was performed using the QIIME2 software package. The obtained whole-genome sequencing data showed a low level of biodiversity in the analysed samples. Diversity index values were determined for two groups of samples: sperm from domestic and foreign bulls. The Shannon index values were 1.40±0.12 and 1.30±0.08 for each group, respectively. Student's t-test calculations indicated no statistically significant differences in the α-biodiversity parameters between these groups. Up to 19 known bacterial types were detected in the samples, with only Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Fusobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, and Tenericutes present at frequencies exceeding 5%. Fusobacteria and Firmicutes dominated Russian bull sperm samples, while the predominant type in foreign bull sperm was Proteobacteria. Of the 18 detected bacterial classes, genetic material from 11 classes was found in at least one of the samples at a frequency exceeding 5%. Russian bull samples contained up to 13 genera of bacteria with genetic material above 1%, while foreign bull samples contained up to 15 genera. The predominant genus for domestic bull sperm samples was Fusobacterium, while for alien bull sperm, it was an unidentified genus of the Clostridiales order. The presence of representatives from the Campylobacter and Pseudomonas genera was also noted in the samples. Possible associations between the presence of specific bacterial taxa and morphofunctional indicators of bull sperm quality are discussed.

Scientific data on the diversity of dangerous clostridia species causing infectious diseases in farm animals are presented. Current knowledge about the pathogenicity and virulence factors of clostridia and their harmful effects on the organisms of highly productive animals. Information is provided on anaerobic bacteria that can form capsules and biofilm structures, which are important determinants of virulence that block the action of the immune systems of macroorganisms, antibacterial agents, and various disinfectants. Data on the phenotypic and molecular-genetic stability of such significant clostridia as C. perfringens and C. difficile, found in published research results, are presented in tables. Current information on the determinants of virulence identified in C. septicum, C. sordellii, C. sporogenes, and C. tetani from various biological materials from different animals is presented in the article. Mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics, altered expression of redox proteins, DNA repair, mutation genes responsible for antibiotic resistance, formation of biofilms, and the presence of a matrix that hinders the penetration of antimicrobial agents into bacteria are described, as well as their prevalence among pathogenic clostridia worldwide. Modern available therapy methods and antimicrobial agents are outlined as an alternative to therapeutic agents used to treat diseases in humans, animals, and poultry caused by clostridia.

Published: October 2023

An experiment was conducted at the poultry farm "Ivanov A. S." to study the clinical effectiveness of the new osteotropic drug Siliostin in broiler chicken dischondroplasia. Siliostin is a complex pharmaceutical composition containing sources of organosilicon and inorganic compounds, flavonoids, organic acids, vitamins, and a range of osteotropic macro and microelements. Two groups of Cobb-500 crossbred broiler chickens were formed for the experiment experimental and control (n = 60). Over 21 days, the birds in the experimental group received Siliostin at a dose of 2% of the mass of consumed complete feed, while the control group chickens were fed only on the primary ration feeds. The therapeutic effectiveness of Siliostin was evaluated based on criteria such as clinical condition, flock integrity, body weight, and serum blood biochemistry indicators. It was established that the use of the drug in cases of clinical manifestation of dischondroplasia in broiler chickens contributes to the improvement of the physiological condition of sick birds, normalisation of indicators of biochemical homeostasis, and also has a positive effect on feed activity and intensive body weight gain. Moreover, after the end of the drug administration period and until the completion of the production cycle (60 days), the positive dynamics in the parameters mentioned above were maintained, and no repeated cases of dischondroplasia were observed in the experimental group of broilers.

Published: October 2023

Technologists of livestock complexes face the task of finding a carbohydrate feed supplement that would compensate for the energy deficit in the main diet. Grain and beet molasses meet this requirement. However, being a nutritious substrate, it can be actively colonised by environmental bacteria. The research aims to assess the influence of different concentrations of sugars from grain (glucose) and beet (sucrose) molasses on the development of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms. As a result of studying the effects of sugars from grain (glucose) and beet (sucrose) molasses at concentrations ranging from 18.0 to 46.0%, a preservative (antibacterial) effect against different bacterial species was observed. Glucose at 18.0–30.0% reduced the growth of L. mesenterioides, Ps. aeruginosa, Ps. fluorescens, E. coli, Str. viridans, L. monocytogenes, S. enterica subsp. houtenae, St. aureus, B. cereus by 2 to 5 orders of magnitude compared to the control; for certain species, concentrations of 22.0–30.0%, and for all species, concentrations of 34.0–46.0% were bactericidal. Sucrose at concentrations of 18.0–38.0% reduced the growth of certain species by 1–4 orders of magnitude compared to the control; the preservative (antibacterial) effect was observed at concentrations of 18.0–34.0% for certain species and at concentrations of 38.0–46.0% for all bacteria (except L. mesenterioides). Based on the results obtained, when not using chemical preservatives and disinfectants, it is advisable to manufacture grain molasses shortly before adding it to the animal's diet, as it is more technologically feasible. In this case, facilities for producing feed molasses can be located in the feed preparation department of any livestock complex, reducing the risks of possible contamination and reducing carbohydrate (sugar) content during longdistance transportation and storage.

Authors: Funk I. A.
Published: October 2023

The effectiveness of using the probiotic preparation Plantarum in feeding dairy-oriented goats is demonstrated. The scientific and economic experiment was conducted on crossbred Saanen goats at the LLC KFH "EcoFarma," Zudilovo village, Pervomaysky district of the Altai Territory. Four groups of pregnant goats were formed, each consisting of 20 animals, for the experiment. The control group (Group 1) animals received the primary balanced ratio according to nutrients and energy. In the second half of pregnancy, an experimental probiotic preparation, Plantarum (developed by the FGBNU FANTSA, SibNIIS department), was additionally introduced into the ration of goats in the experimental groups at doses of 0.4 ml/kg body weight per day for Group 2, 0.6 ml for Group 3, and 0.8 ml for Group 4. It was found that feeding the probiotic preparation Plantarum had a positive effect on the physiological condition of the experimental animals. In comparison with the control group, goats in the experimental groups showed a higher haemoglobin content by 0.9–5.5% (p≤0.05) and erythrocytes by 3.8–15.2% (p≤0.05). An analysis of the blood biochemical parameters of goats in the experimental groups showed a tendency to increase total calcium and inorganic phosphate. Along with this, during the experiment, the probiotic preparation Plantarum's positive influence on the experimental animals' milk productivity was established, which was expressed in an increase in the gross and average daily milk yield by 0.02–3.27% relative to the control. The use of probiotics did not significantly impact the fertility of goats but affected the survival rate of their offspring, increasing it by 3.0–6.3%. The feasibility of using the probiotic preparation Plantarum in the rations of goats at doses of 0.6 and 0.8 ml/kg body weight per day is justified by economic efficiency calculations.

Authors: Nelyubina Zh. S. , Kasatkina N. I.
Published: October 2023

Variable lucerne is a valuable perennial legume crop known for its high fodder productivity, elevated raw protein content (up to 24%), drought resistance, winter hardiness, extended utilisation period, and the ability to maintain soil fertility. This crop is cultivated in pure stands and grass mixtures with other legumes and grasses. In 2016, a new variety of variable lucerne, Victoria, was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements and approved for use in the Volga-Vyatka, Ural, West Siberian, North-Western, Central Chernozem, East Siberian, and Middle Volga regions of the Russian Federation, with the FSBI «UFARC UB RAS» (Federal State Budgetary Institution "Ural Federal Agrarian Research Center Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences") as the originator. The research was conducted in 2019–2022 to study the fodder productivity and nutritional value of monocultural and polyculture agrophytocenosis with the Victoria variety of variable lucerne on derno-podzolic soils in the Udmurt Republic. It was found that variable lucerne made the main contribution to agrophytocenosis yield over three years, accounting for 56–87% in two-component grass mixtures and 44–69% in three-component ones. The prevalence of Festuca rubra and Festuca pratensis in mixed crops increased from 18–26% in the first year of use to 32–43% in the third year. The highest yield (7.3 t/ha) of dry matter was obtained from the grass mixture of variable lucerne and red fescue at a stem density of 727–951 pcs/m2, with variable lucerne accounting for 74–80% and red fescue for 11–21%. Among lucerne-grass agrophytocenoses, the mixtures with Festuca pratensis were the most productive, yielding 6.3–t/ha of dry matter. The feed value of the selected grass mixtures was high: in 1 kg of dry weight, there was 17.4–21.3% raw protein, 0.69–0.76 feed units, and 9.2–10.0 MJ of metabolisable energy.

Authors: СОРОКА Олена
Published: October 2023

У статті презентовано результати емпіричного дослідження динаміки біологічних корелятів показників психологічного стресу у майбутніх корабельних фахівців під час виконання фізичних вправ із різною величиною навантаження пульсовий артеріальний тиск змінюється пропорційно до об’єму крові, що викидається серцем при кожній систолі, і може досягати надвисоких значень – вище за 100 міліметрів ртутного стовпчика. При цьому нормальної реакцією організму є перехід до вихідних значень протягом 5 хвилин після закінчення виконання вправ. Відсутність такої реакції свідчить про підвищений вміст кортизолу у крові, що, у свою чергу, відображає перебування людини у стресовому стані.

Authors: ЯКИМЧУК Ірина
Published: October 2023

Статтю присвячено аналізу взаємозв’язку та особливостей професійного мислення та емоційної нестійкості у педагогів. Показано, що надситуативність мислення негативно корелює з емоційною нестійкістю, а ситуативність мислення – позитивно. Зазначено, що емоційна нестійкість яскравіше виражена у лікарів. За високої оперативності аналізу зменшується емоційна залученість у роботу, а за збільшення глибини аналізу посилюється емоційне вигорання. Отримані результати щодо парціального взаємозв’язку компонентів професійного мислення та показників емоційної нестійкості можуть бути використані як аргументи авторської позиції щодо можливості ефективного використання мислення як когнітивного ресурсу для розв’язання актуальних практичних завдань.

У статті описані результати емпіричного дослідження особливостей перфекціонізму осіб юнацького віку. Актуальність  проблеми зумовлена у потребі у вивченні детальніше перфекціонізму як психологічного феномену, оскільки колосальних досліджень в Україні не проводилося. Для проведення дослідження були вибрані опитувальник вираженості перфекціонізму у юнацтва за допомогою методики О. Лози «Шкала перфекціонізму» та «Переглянутої шкали перфекціонізму Р. Слені. У дослідженні враховувались такі дані: спеціальність за якою навчаються студенти; рік навчання. Обробку результатів емпіричного дослідження проводили шляхом розрахунку відсоткового співвідношення осіб за рівнями прояву виділених ознак з наступною якісною інтерпретацією та змістовним узагальненням отриманих даних. За результатами методики О. Лози «Шкала перфекціонізму» загальна вибірка досліджуваних осіб юнацького віку характеризувалася переважанням представників з середнім (54 %) і високим (28%) рівнями особистісних стандартів діяльності й стосунків, низьким (45%) та середнім (43%) рівнями поляризації мислення, у яких основними формами вираження перфекціонізму є гіперперфекціонізм (18%) та конструктивний перфекціонізм (56%). З метою дослідження адаптивності – дезадаптивності юнацького перфекціонізму в досліджуваних осіб нами були розглянуті та проаналізовані результати, отримані за методикою Р. Слені «Переглянута шкала перфекціонізму». Більшій частині загальної вибірки досліджуваних осіб юнацького віку притаманні середній та високий рівні вираженості таких складових перфекціонізму, як «Високі стандарти» (43% - середній рівень та 36% - високий) та «Прагнення до порядку» (39% - середній рівень та 43% - високий), а також низький (39%) та середній (53%) рівні «Переживання невідповідності власним високим стандартам». Було визначено основні характеристики та рівні перфекціонізму у осіб юнацького віку. За результатами дослідження рівнів та форм вираженості серед досліджуваних осіб юнацького віку встановлено, що майбутнім психологам притаманний конструктивний перфекціонізм (за методикою О. Лози), що характеризується високим рівнем особистісних стандартів та низьким рівнем поляризації мислення. Найбільш характерною формою є адаптивний перфекціонізм (за методикою Р. Слені), для яких властивими є високі показники за шкалами «Високі стандарти» та «Прагнення до порядку».

The research entitled Language Errors in Lecturer Presentations at the Bali State Polytechnic aims to determine the level of speech language used in lecturer meetings at the Bali State Polytechnic. This is important because there is a tendency for the pronunciation of words, terms and sentences to be less in accordance with the applicable rules, such as the mention of words, terms and sentences which tend to violate the applicable rules. This study used the observation method, while the technique used was recording and note taking. The target of this research is that the lecturers are proud to use good and correct Indonesian, which in the end the lecturers are able to use spoken Indonesian in meetings or other language activities among fellow lecturers. The results of this study indicate that the use of standard words, pronunciation, and word choice are almost in accordance with the applicable rules. This can be seen in the word choice presentation situation with a score of 88.36 classified as an A. In terms of terms, there is a tendency to use foreign and regional terms which are very proud, namely with a score of 95.48. This value is also classified as very good, with a very satisfactory predicate. In contrast, the use of effective sentences in presentations is not satisfactory. This can be seen from the value of the order of the sentence, which only gets a score of 63.95, which is classified as not good. Thus, the average value in the order of words, terms, and sentences is 82.60. It can be said that the use of the Balinese State Polytechnic lecturer's speech in the presentation is very good.

This qualitative descriptive study aims to assess the alignment between the cognitive domain of Revised Bloom's Taxonomy and the worksheets in the English textbook “English for Nusantara” published by Pusat Perbukuan used for the 7th grade of SMP students. The research focuses on analyzing 177 activities within the textbook, categorizing them based on their cognitive domain using a data analysis table. The results indicate that the activities are distributed as follows: 114 (64.4%) in the remembering category, 12 (6.8%) in understanding, 6 (3.4%) in applying, 16 (9.0%) in analyzing, 5 (2.8%) in evaluating, and 24 (13.6%) in creating. Among these activities, 45 (25.4%) fall under the higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) category, while 132 (74.6%) are classified as lower-order thinking skills (LOTS). The dominant activity type observed is remembering, which represents the lowest cognitive level in Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. Additionally, the distribution of LOTS and HOTS activities varies significantly across different chapters. These findings suggest that relying solely on the English textbook may not be sufficient for developing students' higher-order thinking skills (HOTS).

Published: October 2023

The modeling of a magnetic trap using pyFEMMis considered in order to select it for the design of a laboratory stand with magnetron sputtering in the form of a magnetron sputtering system with a flat cathode. This method of application was not chosen by chance, because it is more practical due to its speed of spraying thin metal films onto the substrate than a diode spray system. A magnetic trap for MSS is a subsystem whose magnetic fields are capable of holding plasma near the target. Using the developed program allows you to select the necessary trap from the proposed magnets without using additional formulas outside the calculation program, which simplifies and speeds up the search for the final system. The selection is based on the study of the graphs of the modules of tangential and normal components of magnetic induction, followed by the determination of the width of the sputtering zone, the extremes of each component of magnetic induction. The results obtained are compared with the specified tolerances and limitations. The result of the work was to obtain the necessary parameters of thirty-six subsystems of three different configurations, the dependence of the characteristics on the thickness of the magnetic core when it was added to the MSS and the relationship of the indicators on the multiplicity of magnets in the magnetic trap. In the conclusion of the article, the regularities of changes in various trap criteria depending on the configuration are formulated, the efficiency of increasing the number of magnets in the system and the thickness of the magnetic core is compared, the optimal subsystem of the proposed ones is determined.

Coronavirus disease 2019 is caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. COVID-19 causes increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines, so CRP and d-dimer levels in COVID-19 patients tend to increase. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels and D-dimer levels in COVID-19 patients. This research method is analytic observational by using cross-sectional secondary data. The population of this study were all COVID-19 inpatients at Budhi Asih Hospital, East Jakarta, with a sample of 338 patients and were taken by random sampling. The results of this study found that female and male COVID-19 patients had the same risk of being infected with female patients as much as 52,7% and male patients amounting to 47,3%. Most COVID-19 patients occurred at the age of ≥60 years, namely 32,2%. All patients, which is 100% patients had high CRP levels, with a mean of 76,06 mg/L. As for D-dimer levels, 47,9% of patients had normal D-dimer levels and 52,1% had high D-dimer levels with an average of 721,48 ng/mL. The results of the Spearman's correlation test obtained a p value = 0,000, so it can be seen that there is a correlation between C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels and D-dimer levels in COVID-19 patients with a correlation strength of 0,300 (medium). An increase in CRP levels followed by an increase in D-dimer levels but evaluation of other laboratory examination parameters also needs to be considered.
