Slush Mountain by B. R. Lie
Authors: Feisst Debbie
Published: July 2016

Lie, Bjørn R. Slush Mountain. Vancouver: Simply Read Books, 2016. Print.            It’s a clear, crisp morning on Slush Mountain.             There’s not a cloud in the sky and the fresh snow shines             in the sunlight.This basic yet delightfully illustrated book tells the simple pleasures of a day in the village and the slopes of Slush Mountain, located somewhere in the Norwegian mountains.  Previously published in Norwegian under the title Slapsefjell, author-illustrator and graphic artist Bjørn Rune Lie gives us a day in the life of a busy resort town from the perspective of locals and visitors alike.Beginning in the morning, we start out on the Nordic tracks with cross-country skiers. But there are also white knuckle slopes and moguls for those interested in a little more speed. Throughout the day we visit Frostbite Fish Pond, watch loggers in the Sluggerdale Forest, travel up along the Gutsy Pines Gondola and the Chilly Winds Chairlift and take part in the exhilarating Slush Mountain Rally, replete with vintage snowmobiles. There are loads of eccentric characters with names like Bruce “the Spruce” Crampon, “Snow Blind” Jefferson and Michael Mittens, who much to my kids’ delight, spots a rare three-headed giant hummingbird while seated in the outdoor privy.   The day is finished off in a cozy cabin while a family plays a board game while drinking hot chocolate.While there is no real plot, the nostalgic, retro-inspired illustrations are fun to look at and have lots of detail to engage even the youngest readers.  Humans and animals alike are enjoying themselves on the slopes, the rally, and the hotel dance. My children noted that the skiers were not wearing helmets but understood that the bygone era in the artwork represented a different time in terms of alpine safety. This is a fun, sweet book that would be a nice gift for snow-loving kids and perfect for an elementary school library.Recommended: 3 stars out of 4 Reviewer: Debbie FeisstDebbie is a Public Services Librarian at the H.T. Coutts Education Library at the University of Alberta.  When not renovating, she enjoys travel, fitness and young adult fiction.
Phonetic Symbols through Audiolingual Method to Improve the Students’ Listening Skill
Authors: Samawiyah Zuhrotun , Saifuddin Muhammad
Published: July 2016

Abstract:Phonetic symbols present linguistic feature to recognize how the words are pronounced or even spelled. While learning English, difficult words are sometimes found because here English is a foreign language with which students often face. In that case, these words might bother the students’ understanding. Obviously, the students were expected to develop their listening skill. It is because listening is one of the English language skills. To enhance the students’ listening skill needs appropriate and effective way. Phonetic symbols were applied in this research to give the students clear input and understanding toward English words. Moreover, these phonetic symbols were applied within audio-lingual method that it provided repetition, memorization, and drills through audio media. This research used Classroom Action Research (CAR) design. The objective of this research was to improve the students’ listening skill through phonetic symbols applied within audio-lingual method. The instruments used were observation and test. Based on the observation, the result showed that the students were encouraged to identify spoken words based on phonetic symbols. They were able to differentiate phonetic symbols used that helped them to identify words on spoken text. Meanwhile, the result of test showed that there were 30 students of 40 students who achived the passing grade, 75. The percentage of students’ achivement test met the target of this research success that was 75% of the students got score ≥ 75. Thus, it can be concluded that phonetic symbols applied in audio-lingual method successfully improved the students’ listening skill.Keywords: Phonetic symbol, Listening skill, Audio-lingual Method

Political Risk and Foreign Direct Investments in Kosovo
Authors: Podvorica MSc. Neshat
Published: July 2016

The purpose of this paper is to present the importance of political risk and its impact on attracting investments, also to analyse policies made by the Kosovo institutions to reduce political risk and increase the FDIs. Attracting of the FDIs is complex because they depend on many factors, and one of the methods that measure political risk is the model used by the PRS Group that includes the flow of the economy through 12 components.Measuring political risk plays an important role in transitional countries, because these are countries that have problems in various fields and also the trust on by the investors is low. As a finding of this study is that Kosovo is estimated to have moderate political risk, and is close to joining the group of countries with low political risk. Challenges faced by Kosovo in reducing political risk are concentrated in several components, which are: socioeconomic, corruption and rule of law components. Kosovo has taken significant steps in improving the conditions for investment, government stability and positioning of the country facing internal and external conflicts.

Published: July 2016

There is a visible demand to increase the awareness for the efficacy and the advantages that e-banking has to offer to small enterprises; however, many other enterprises cannot conceive the possibility of running their business without e-banking. This study on approach of local firms towards e-banking is conducted by applying the Grounded Theory of Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss and the Critical Incident Technique, in order to identify the factors influencing the satisfaction of the business clients when using e-banking services. The empirical data were gathered through interviews. Factual findings establish the foundation for a more extended research aiming to reveal the satisfaction of the business clients with service of e-banking, simultaneously exploring opportunities which banks have to adopt in order to succeed in attracting and retaining the business clients.
The Principle of Will Autonomy in the Obligatory Law
Authors: Kastrati MA. Shyhrete
Published: July 2016

The principle of autonomy of will is legislated with the Article 2 of the Law no. 04/L–077 on Obligational Relationships1, thereby providing the legal grounds for the regulation of legal relations between parties in obligational relationship.This study aims to provide a contribution to the theory and practice, and also aims at providing a modest contribution to the obligational law doctrine in Kosovo. The purpose of the paper is to explore the gaps and weaknesses in practical implementation of the principle, which represents the main pillar of obligational law. In this paper, combined methods were used, including research and descriptive methods, analysis and synthesis, comparative and normative methods.The exploration method was used throughout the paper, and entails the collection of hard-copy and electronic materials. The descriptive method implies a description of concepts, important thoughts of legal science, and in this case, on the principle of autonomy of will, thereby using literature of various authors. The analytical and synthetic methodology is aimed at achieving the study objectives, the recognition of the principle of autonomy of will, practical implementation thereof, and conclusions.The comparative method was applied in comparing the implementation of the principle in the Law on Obligational Relationships of Kosovo and the Law on Obligational Relationships of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Kosovo, and the Civil Code of the Republic of Albania. The normative method was necessary, since the topic of the study is about legal norms.
The Kosovo Precedent in the Secession and Recognition of Crimea
Authors: Jusufaj Dr.Sc. Elvina
Published: July 2016

Crimea’s secession from Ukraine and its annexation to the Russian Federation invoked Kosovo precedent, in its declaration of independence, as an argument for secession. The territorial referendum in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, only five days after the declaration of independence, was an attempt to justify the secession based on the right to selfdetermination of the people of Crimea. It is overwhelmingly considered illegal and its outcome has not been accepted and recognized by states, regional and international organizations. The comparative elements of statehood and secession between Kosovo and Crimea are reflected through analyzing the declarations of independence, international recognition and Russia’s role as a third-state factor in external selfdetermination. Essential distinctions are highlighted. Kosovo is widely acknowledged and accepted a sui generis case. Its declaration of independence came as result of a long monitored comprehensive process; not to legitimize the right for self-determination but as the final option for stability and peace in the region. Crimea seceded in violation of international law through the use of force. While Kosovo is a democratic, multi-ethnic new state and recognized by 107 states, the secession of Crimea and its annexation to the Russian Federation is considered illegal and endangers the existing international order.

The Correlation between affective Temperaments and Internalizing Problems Reported by Adolescents of Age 14-18 Years
Authors: Bardhi MA. Niman , Shahini Dr.Sc. Mimoza
Published: July 2016

Internalizing problems are characterized by anxiety, depressed mood, social withdrawal, and somatic complaints. Childhood internalizing problems are a concerning mental health issue due to their continuity into adolescence and associated functional impairment. This study focused on studying the relation between affective temperaments and internalizing problems, in a sample of adolescents in the community. There has been very little research in mental health problems in children and adolescents in Kosovo.The aim of this study was to identify the link between affective temperaments with youth psychopathology, by measuring both temperament with Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego (TEMPS) and youth psychopathology with Youth Self Report (YSR) in the Kosovo sample. Our study found that depressive, cyclothymic, anxious, and irritiative temperaments were more displayed in female respondents. Meanwhile, hyperthermic temperament was not found to be reported as interrelated to gender.However, gender related differences were significant on the YSR scales, with female respondents reporting higher values on those scales. The study found that there is a significant difference between the groups with normal scores on Depressive Temperament with group with high scores for all scales of Internalizing problems. More scores in Depressive Temperament more scores in Internalizing Scales.The same tendencies were found for Cyclothimic Temperament and Anxious temperament. Hyperthermic temperament was not found to have significant effect on Anxious/ Depressed, Withdrawn, Somatic Complaints, and Social Problem. Irritative temperament was found to have significant effect only in Anxious/ Depressed F (2) = 13.1, p<.01, η2= .03.The higher scores in Anxious/ Depressed scores were found in the group with high scores in Irritative Temperament. The study concluded that temperament may only be one of several factors contributing to the development of psychopathology. This study found that the temperament, which is influenced by environment and biology, is a significant predictor for internalizing problems.

Authors: Zejnullahu MSc. Njomëza
Published: July 2016

This article compares judicial institutions of customary law and modern law. There are many discussions between authors regarding the relation between customary and modern law, specifically the impact of customary law in modern law. The role of the customary law is of crucial importance especially its impact in the positive law of the country. Although, the customary law was practiced years ago, similarities with current positive law are obvious. Many of the judicial institutions in Albanian customary law can be compared with similar ones in modern law, but is also crucial to identify differences between them. Main judicial institutions that served as enforcement mechanisms in Albanian customary law are identified in this article in comparison with respective institutions of modern law. In addition, it is important to view and analyse customary law in regard to its power as governing law in a given period. In this regard, an analysis of the Albanian customary law in view of Hart’s rule of recognition is provided.

This paper will treat the establishment, scope, and the completion of the mission of International Criminal Tribunal for formerYugoslavia. It is well known that this Tribunal, respectively The Hague Tribunal, is established with a resolution of United Nations Security Council, for the purpose of establishing peace in the troubled region ofYugoslavia. Since its establishment, the Tribunal has held many judicial processes, by bringing in front of the justice even the heads of states and people with significant state positions.Currently, the tribunal is in the completion phase of its mandate set by the United Nations resolution. For this reason, the tribunal does not accept new cases in order not to extend its completion phase of the mandate.The paper as such, has a practical importance because it will examine the success and challenges that this international court level has faced. Moreover, it will point out also the Completion strategy of this tribunal, where it is presumed that the cases will be transferred to the local justice in order not to overload the court with other cases.
Is China’s Rise going to be Peaceful?
Authors: Hajrullahu MSc. Besjan
Published: July 2016

This research paper maintains the notion the “Rise of China” at its core, while attempting to theoretically conceptualize its implications toward the current world order. It has also put a strong emphasis on the various relevant elements, which have mainly shaped the behavior of China in the global arena in various time periods. The theoretical framework used in this paper has been largely based on the school of thought of “Political Realism, where questions such as “Is China a status quo or revisionist power?” and “Is China’s Economic interdependence with other countries and the attitude of China neighbors reason enough to permit its peaceful rise?” have been analyzed accordingly following the guidelines and principles of that specific school of thought. Lastly, this paper proposes that China’s rise cannot be peaceful unless the world leadership will facilitate its further incorporation in the international system and perceives China as part of the solution instead of the problem.
Activities of Intelligence Services as a Synonymous of Fear and Intimidation
Authors: Sadiku MA. Fisnik , Lokaj MA. Besnik
Published: July 2016

Intelligence services are an important factor of national security. Their main role is to collect, process, analyze, and disseminate information on threats to the state and its population.Because of their “dark” activity, intelligence services for many ordinary citizens are synonymous of violence, fear and intimidation. This mostly comes out in theRepublicofKosovo, due to the murderous activities of the Serbian secret service in the past. Therefore, we will treat the work of intelligence services in democratic conditions, so that the reader can understand what is legitimate and legal of these services.In different countries of the world, security challenges continue to evolve and progress every day, and to fulfil these challenges, the state needs new ways of coordinating and developing the capability to shape the national security environment. However, the increase of intelligence in many countries has raised debates about legal and ethical issues regarding intelligence activities.Therefore, this paper will include a clear explanation of the term, meaning, process, transparency and secrecy, and the role that intelligence services have in analyzing potential threats to national security.The study is based on a wide range of print and electronic literature, including academic and scientific literature, and other documents of various intelligence agencies of developed countries.
The fall of the Albanian - Chinese Relations 1971-1978
Authors: Boriçi Dr.Sc. Gjon
Published: July 2016

The Albanian - Chinese relations in the years of the Cold War were thrilling as much as dramatic. The age of their flourish in the '60-ies, unfortunately did not last for long. The Albanian sponsorship that China be admitted in the UN with full rights was a test that Enver Hoxha should exploit for the good of the Albanian people. It was a historic and unrepeated opportunity for little Albania to escape the political and economic impasse since the breakup of relations with the Soviet Union in 1961. The incompetence of the Albanian leadership to understand the trends of the age would mark the following political failure of Albania and would influent in the total isolation of the country. It's not difficult to understand that Albania had historic opportunities to join the Western side but chose to align with the Eastern bloc. The beginnings are with sensational approach with Tito's Yugoslavia. After that the Albanian political leadership kept Albania under the umbrella of the Soviet Union and at the end with China. After the end of the relations with China in 1978, Albania paved the way of the total isolation.  The secret visit of the President Nixon's national security adviser Dr. Kissinger to China in July 1971 was interpreted by the Albanian communist leader as a betrayal of the Marxist ideology. Enver Hoxha responded with a harsh and rude letter on August 6th 1971 urging China to not accept the visit of President Nixon the following year. This was the first major break in the relations between the two countries. Since then, the help from China for the weak Albanian economy would decline till the unavoidable break of July 1978. The methodology used in this paper is strictly comparative history analyzing the way diplomacy and politics should work to achieve the set aim.

In the process of EU integration, the aspiring candidate and potential candidate countries have undergone a major process of reforms. The Central European Countries accession process has been analyzed in details, using both rationalist and constructivist models. However, the South European Countries, in general, and Western Balkan countries, in particular, have a lot to be critically analyzed, studied and understood.  Nevertheless, the purpose of this paper is not to analyze all Western Balkan countries, but to focus only on Kosovo, namely to study its judicial system. In this regard, to what extent the EU has had transformative power and impacted the internal judicial structures of Kosovo and under which conditions the EU is more effective? This article analyzes the findings of the Progress reports for a ten-year period (2005 – 2015) and the extent of the EU impact. It makes use of the conceptual and rational framework of external incentives model and argues that the EU impact in the judiciary system of Kosovo was crucial and transformative considering the starting low phase of reforms in Kosovo.
Political history of modern Egypt
Authors: Islami Islam
Published: July 2016

Under the Ottoman Empire, Egypt was granted some autonomy because as long as taxes were paid, the Ottomans were content to let the Egyptians administer them. Nevertheless, the 17th and 18th centuries were ones of economic decline for Egypt.In 1798, the French army led by Napoleon Bonaparte landed in Egypt and defeated the Egyptians on land at the battle of the Pyramids, but he was utterly defeated at sea by the British navy, which made him abandon his army and leave Egypt. Subsequently, British and Ottoman forces defeated the French army and forced them to surrender.In particular after the last quarter of 19 century, in Egypt began colonizing activities by Western European countries, while the reaction to such events occurred within “the Egyptian national movement.”With its history of five thousand years, Egypt is considered as the first modern state of the Arab world. Ottoman military representative Mehmet Ali Pasha takes a special place through his contribution to this process. He is seen as a statesman who carried important reforms, which can be compared even with the ones of Tanzimat. He managed to build Egypt as an independent state from the Ottoman Empire, standing on its own power.Gamal Abdel Nasser was the one who established the Republic of Egypt and ended the monarchy rule in Egypt following the Egyptian revolution in 1952. Egypt was ruled autocratically by three presidents over the following six decades, by Nasser from 1954 until his death in 1970, by Anwar Sadat from 1971 until his assassination 1981, and by Hosni Mubarak from 1981 until his resignation in the face of the 2011 Egyptian revolution.
Promotion of Human Rights in the Republic of Kosovo
Authors: Ukimeraj MSc. Albulena
Published: July 2016

Fundamental rights and freedoms are constitutional category of democratic states whereas the standards for guaranteeing these rights have been determined in the highest international acts of the United Nations.Promotion of equality and compliance with human rights initially originated in social developments in antiquity period. The Greek philosophy represented by world class philosophers Plato and Aristotle, created the foundation for complying with these rights which still serve as principles in the modern times and democratic developments. In later stages of social developments, despite the progress, compliance with human rights in the slavery era but even in the medieval times was faced with many challenges. Meanwhile, the development of the modern world, as an enlightening historic moment, it is the French Revolution, which was of course preceded by important documents in the history of development and advancement of human rights such as: Magna Carta Libertatum and the US Constitution.The reason for addressing this topic consists in the fact that these fundamental rights and freedoms are parts of constitutions of many countries including Kosovo, which are proclaimed and protected by different acts and norms, however they continue to be infringed either by individuals or institutions. Thus, with the aim of promotion of human rights and legal basis related to them in the Republic of Kosovo, this paper will elaborate development of human rights and the legal infrastructure for protection and compliance of human rights in a chronological manner by providing conclusions on the promotion of human rights in the Republic of Kosovo.

JURISLINGUISTIC POINT OF VIEW ON LEGAL HERMENEUTICS (based on the electoral disputes)
Authors: Кara-Murza E. S.
Published: July 2016

Given the potential for conflict of legal and jurislinguistic hermeneutics, the author examines in this perspective the little-studied object of electorial disputes. The author shows that it is allowed in the interpretation of the universal mechanism of discretion, which is a special legal institute, and in the field of electoral conflict it is manifested as a variant of legal hermeneutics. According to the author, discretion demonstrates the subjectivity of the officialbusiness style/judicial discourse – the property is still poorly taken into consideration in linguistics.
FROM THE ORDINARY MEANING TO THE ARTISTIC IMAGE
Authors: Mokienko V. M.
Published: July 2016

The paper demonstrates the importance of the "Dictionary of ordinary interpretations of Russian words. Lexicon of Nature", created under the leadership of N. D. Golev for the objective of diagnostics of the Russian lexical system. It emphasizes the importance of everyday interaction with the value of common literary meanings, on the one hand, and the impact of the former on the evolution of artistic imagery and semantics. The proposed monitoring is illustrated by comparing the entry "Ant" in the dictionary under the editorship of Prof. Golev with the dictionary entries in other lexicographical sources and semantics embodied in the fable of I. A. Krylov’s "The Ant and the Grasshopper."
RUSSIAN ORTHOGRAPHY AND PUNCTUATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY: «MAN» AND «LAW»
Authors: Yudina N. V.
Published: July 2016

The paper is focused on the research and description of several active processes in Russian orthography and punctuation of the 21st century. The following tendencies are most specific: difference between the codified recommendations of rules and the written (orthographic and punctuative) practice; wish of a modern language personality to make the linguistic activity creative, use the expressive means of graphics, orthography and punctuation and draw attention of those who read and write; intentional violation of the orthographic and punctuative norms caused either by a low level of the written communication, neglect of the existing rules, or motive to the linguistic self-identification. The tendencies in the dynamics of Russian orthography and punctuation are viewed as an active part of the common processes in the Russian language and speech. The research makes it possible to investigate and review the existing orthographic and punctuative norms in order to meet the “challenges of time” and build a reasonable and functional dialogue between a modern language personality and the normative “laws” of the Russian language of the 21st century.

SOMATIC MODEL IN THE NOMINATION OF PREMONITIONS AND INTUITIONAL FEELINGS
Authors: Berezovich E. L.
Published: July 2016

The paper analyzes the most productive and systemic model, which serves as the basis for lexicon and phraseology denoting manifestations of «the sixth sense» (premonitions and intuitional feelings), – the somatic model. With reference to the Russian literary language of the 19th – 21st centuries and some particular facts of jargons, popular language and subdialects, the author studies 4 groups of somatisms, which are the most representative in terms of expression of meanings, which are in the sphere of interest of the author: names of organs of the back of the body (спина, затылок, лопатки, задница, загривок etc.); nominations of the stomach and the inward parts of the body (нутро, живот, брюхо, печенки etc.); names of proper organs of perception (нос, ухо); the words тело, кожа (шкура). The analyzed model is realized in a variety of ways, the most significant of which are verbal-nominal combinations like чуять печенкой, почувствовать задницей, ощущать телом. The paper describes contextual meanings specific to the words studied: ‘premonition of trouble, death’, ‘fine organic feeling (of duty, obligation; profit etc.)’, ‘illogical perception of something which is usually perceived logically’, ‘perceptive synaesthetic feelings’, ‘the feeling of control (sense of chase, the feeling of somebody else's power’) and others. The author analyzes the reasons for appearance of the meanings, which are specific to each group of the vocabulary studied or which connect somatisms belonging to different groups.
Multiplex PCR for detection of water-borne bacteria
Authors: Kheiri Roohollah , Ranjbar Reza , Memariani Mojtaba , Akhtari Leili
Published: July 2016

Microbial water-borne diseases still affect developing countries and are major water quality concerns throughout the world. Routine culture-based methods of identifying bacterial pathogens in water sources are laborious and time-consuming. Recently, the use of molecular techniques such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has provided rapid and highly promising detection methods. In this study, we developed two multiplex PCR assays for simultaneous detection of six water-borne bacteria. Two triplex PCR protocols were developed to detect six target genes. The first protocol targets uidA (Escherichia coli), int (Shigella spp.), and gyrB (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) genes, while invA (Salmonella spp.), ompW (Vibrio cholera), and lacZ (coliforms) were amplified by the second protocol. Specificity testing was carried out for 12 reference strains. Furthermore, the applicability of the multiplex PCR assays for detection of these bacteria was investigated for 52 surface water samples. The results indicated that all primer pairs showed specificities only for their corresponding target organisms. The detection sensitivity of both multiplex PCR assays was 3 × 102 − 3 × 103 colony forming units. The developed assays represent simple and efficient diagnostic procedures for co-detection of water-borne bacteria and have the potential to provide earlier warnings of possible public health threats and more accurate surveillance of these organisms.

У роботі розглянуто корисні якості вівса та вівсяного борошна, роаналізовано цінність сировинних компонентів, окреслено їх вплив на здоров’я людини, наведено напрямки практичного застосування. Показано доцільністьвикористання вівсяного борошна як структуроутворювача і фізіологічно функціонального харчового інгредієнта для розширення асортименту низькожирних спредів, в т.ч. кисловершкових. Проведено моніторинг ринку вівсяного борошна в Україні. Наведено порівняльну характеристику хімічного складу вівсяного борошна десяти конкурентних виробників. Представлено аналіз чинників, які формують якість готового продукту на основі зернової сировини.Для проведення експериментальних досліджень було обрано три зразки: вівсяне борошно для дитячого харчування ТОВ «Сквирський комбінат хлібопродуктів», вівсяне борошно ТМ «Альта-Віста» та вівсяне борошно органічне ТМ «Козуб». У зразках вівсяного борошна обраних українських виробників визначали органолептичні, фізико-хімічні та структурно-механічні показники якості: смак, запах, колір, зовнішній вигляд і консистенцію, титровану кислотність, масову частку вологи, показник седиментації, водопоглинальну здатність, розчинність, здатність до набухання та крупність помелу за результатами розсіювання на системі сит. Титрована кислотність та масова частка вологи характеризують якість борошна; показник седиментації, водопоглинальна здатність, розчинність, здатність до набухання та крупність помелу залежать від технології виробництва борошна і характеризують (у класичному контексті) його хлібопекарські властивості, а у технології низькожирних спредів – функціонально-технологічні властивості вуглеводної складової продукту як структуроутворювача.За результатами проведених досліджень встановлено, що найнижчі кислотність і масову частку вологи, найкращі дисперсність та функціонально-технологічні показники має вівсяне борошно для дитячого харчування ТОВ «Сквирський комбінат хлібопродуктів», тому воно рекомендовано до використання у технології виробництва низькожирних, в т.ч. кисловершкових, спредів.

Високі темпи розвитку птахівництва вимагають вирішення таких проблем як, розширення сировинної бази при виробництві комбікормів і забезпечення кальцієвого дефіциту у високопродуктивних несучок. Разом з тим, привиробництві соків і рослинних консервів утворюється велика кількість відходів, які дуже швидко псуються і вимагають негайної утилізації. Тому, необхідною умовою розвитку птахівництва є розробка способу переробки побічних продуктів консервної промисловості в кормові добавки.У статті представлена розроблена технологія переробки томатних вичавок в кормові добавки у порівнянні з традиційною технологією. Теоретично обґрунтовано вибір компонентів томатної кормової добавки та необхідність пошуку економічно ефективного способу переробки томатних вичавок у томатну кормову добавку (ТКД).Для визначення можливості використання ТКД в якості компонента комбікорму, у лабораторних умовах досліджено вплив процесу екструдування на її фізичні властивості. Зразки ТКД досліджували за показниками, які в найбільшій мірі характеризують технологічні властивості готової продукції та ефективність процесу екструдування.Також було досліджено хімічний склад кукурудзи і ТКД до та після екструдування. Режими екструдування викликали інтерес дослідження зміни амінокислотного складу білків ТКД під впливом екструдування. В зразках ТКД визначали ступінь набухання екструдата, яка характеризує ефективність засвоєння поживних речовин організмом птиці.Проведення зоотехнічного експерименту на курях-несучках продукційного періоду вирощування з використанням комбікорму з додаванням ТКД у кількості 25 % показало, що отримана томатна кормова добавка характеризуються задовільними фізичними властивостями та здатна вирішити проблему розширення асортименту кормової сировини, утилізації відходів консервної промисловості з підвищеним вмістом вологи, кальцієвого дисбалансу у курей-несучок в період овуляції, за рахунок введення крейди кормової, та зменшити витрати на виробництво комбікормів для сільськогосподарської птиці.
