THE CONCEPT OF THE SOIL BIOGEOSYSTEM
Authors: Smyrnova S. , Smyrnov V. , Babushkina R.
Published: April 2020

The conceptual bases of the functional capacity of the soil biogeosystem (SB) are investigated, on which its composition and structure largely depend. Modern approach to understanding the complexity of the processes implemented in the soil cover should be based on the principle of polyfunctionality. The soil cover (in the sense of its length within the biosphere) is located at the intersection of the migration paths of the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere as a whole, which determines its specific role in the complex system of geospheres and its polyfunctionality.

Soil heterogeneity has been analyzed (solid, liquid, gaseous, living phases). Each phase is separately characterized, which has its own unique set of characteristics, formed in the process of evolutionary soil formation and is unique throughout the length of landscapes.

Attention is focused on the diversity of the genetic nature of soils, which reflects their functional properties. The reflection of the genetic identity of soil, as a function of the environmental conditions of its formation, is the morphogenetic structure of the soil profile, which is formed in the process of soil formation.

The principle of polyfunctionality of the soil geological system is defined, which describes the totality of processes at the global (biospheric) and biogeocenotic levels. On the one hand (from a global position), the SB determines the evolutionary orientation of biota on Earth, provides a large and small circulation of substances, regulates the chemical composition of the accompanying geospheres (atmosphere, hydrosphere), acts as a bioproductivity factor of terrestrial ecosystems and a battery of non-biogenic substance and energy depot, with the other (from the biogeocenotic position) SB is characterized by a number of physical, chemical, biochemical, and physicochemical functional properties.

It has been established that the versatility of the processes that are implemented within the framework of the SB allows us to focus on the conceptual basis of a balanced anthropogenic load, and, consequently, on the preservation of biodiversity and humans as a biological species.
Pedagogical Communication between Primary School Teachers and Pupils as a Factor in the Wellbeing of Primary School Students in Educational Activities
Authors: Semenova T.S.
Published: April 2020

The study of the psychological well-being of younger students in educational activities is relevant because of the significant number of publications on the facts of school disadvantaged children, the reason for which is recognized as the unconstructive organization of the educational process. In the article the author compared the interaction with pupils at the lesson of two teachers of primary classes with different level of pedagogical skill and correlated the revealed differences with the indicators of psychological well-being of their pupils. The author used his own method of registration of interactions. Pupils of two thirds classes (24 and 27 persons) of Penza secondary general education school and their teachers (2 persons) took part in the research. The results show that the interaction of a master teacher with pupils in the classroom, in comparison with a master teacher, is characterized by a greater number of visits to children and more uniform distribution of attention among children. Pupils of a master teacher outperform pupils of a teacher who is not a master in terms of psychological well-being: learning activity in the classroom and satisfaction with the teacher's relations with them.

Published: April 2020

The article presents the research results, which is directed at identifying of the actual attitude of older adolescents towards the future, taking into account gender differences. It is suggested that in the self-consciousness of older adolescents aspects of self-relation that are significant for the future are not coordinated, there are also gender differences in the organizational substructure of the image of the future. Surveyed 93 schoolchildren, students of the 10th grade of three Kemerovo schools on the basis of the diagnostic program including measurement the parameters of the organizational substructure of the image of the future and determining the representations of adolescents of different gender groups. On the sample of subjects in general, there is a tendency to show low personality activity, inconsistency of individual components of the attitude to yourself and the factors of life's meaningliness. At the same time, the girls oriented towards the future, but prone to internal conflict, the boys are more passive, poorly focused on the future, prone to experience of dissatisfaction in accepting oneself. Based on the results obtained, the prospects for further experimental work on shaping the future in the older adolescence are outlined.
The Image of the Patient as a Component of the World’s Image of Students of Medical University
Authors: Samoilenko N.V. , Dyachenko E.V.
Published: April 2020

The article provides data on the study of the patient’s image as a component of the image of the world among students of a medical university. The theoretical and methodological foundation was the provision that the image of the patient is implicitly represented in the semantic space of future doctors by semantic categories in the structure of a holistic multi-level system of ideas about the world, other people, about themselves and their activities, i.e. image of the world. The patient’s image was studied as a factor in the effectiveness of the interaction between the doctor and the patient in the provision of medical care. The effectiveness of interaction is one of the tools for making relevant clinical decisions, taking into account the opinion of the patient, which ensures patient-oriented medical consultation. 300 students of the 1 and 6 courses of the Ural State Medical University of the Faculty of Medicine were examined. The patient’s image was experimentally studied using methods: semantic personality differential, color metaphors and color choices. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that the image of a patient in medical students is represented by various kinds of semantic categories (friendly, irrational, irritable, etc.). The content of the semantic categories of the patient’s image differs at the beginning and at the end of training: from multidirectional characteristics to ordered in the form of a typical and ideal patient. It has been established that the content of the patient’s image can be purposefully formed when mastering the educational program. The inclusion of an educational module in clinical teaching disciplines on the skills of professional communication with the patient (as one of the tools for making clinical decisions in the provision of medical care) affects the change in the content of the patient’s image in future doctors.
Approaches to antithrombotic modification of vascular implants
Authors: Sevostyanova V V , Krivkina E O , Antonova L V
Published: April 2020

Vascular implants in contact with blood must have high thrombotic resistance. However, in some cases, their implantation is associated with thrombosis and subsequent impaired patency of the blood vessel. Most often, this problem affects implants intended for reconstruction of small diameter vessels, which is associated with hemodynamic features in this part of the bloodstream. These include blood vessel prostheses, tissue-engineered vascular grafts, and endovascular stents. The features of the implant material are of great importance when choosing a method for its modification in order to improve biocompatibility and thromboresistance. The review analyzes current experience in using various methods of immobilizing drugs to the surface of vascular prostheses and endovascular stents made from stable and biodegradable polymers. The prospects of creating thromboresistant vascular grafts and stents by joint immobilization on the surface of the polymer material of drugs with antithrombogenic activity and biologically active molecules that regulate the reaction to a foreign body and implant remodeling were evaluated. Numerous studies in the review demonstrating a wide range of ways to modify blood vessel prostheses, tissue-engineered vascular grafts, and endovascular stents with antithrombotic drugs to increase their thrombosis resistance. The main approaches of antithrombotic modification include conjugation of drugs and biologically active molecules on the implant surface. At the same time, new technologies are aimed not only at inhibiting the process of thrombus formation, but also at reducing the intensity of the inflammation process and stimulating the reparation of vascular tissue.

Authors: Kornev V I , Kalinina N M , Startseva O N
Published: April 2020

Aim. To assess the changes in endothelial dysfunction in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC).

Methods. The study included 50 patients who were undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The patients were divided assigned to either a minimally invasive cardiopulmonary bypass system (group 1, n=15) or standard extracorporeal circuit (group 2, n=35). Changes in the laboratory parameters were assessed 5 times: before the operation, 5 minutes after protamine sulfate administration, 12 hours after the operation, 7 days after the patient's discharged from the hospital and one month after the operation. The activity of von Willebrand factor, factor VIII, and the number of activated platelets were examined in all patients in venous blood.

Results. After protamine sulfate administration, the activity of von Willebrand factor was increased to 164% in the group 1, and up to 193% in the group 2, with a tendency to increase the indicator after 12 hours. The peak of endothelial dysfunction, with the growth of von Willebrand factor and factor VIII, occurs on the 7th day after the operation. In patients of the group with MiECC, von Willebrand factor activity was decreased at the hospital discharge and returned to normal in 1 month. The number of activated platelets increases mainly in group 2 (6% versus 4% in group 1, p=0.29). The expression of P-selectin was significantly higher in group 2 at the hospital discharge (5.5% versus 3.1% in group 1, p 0.001), and in 1 month (4.5% versus 2.3% in group 1, p 0.001).

Conclusion. In patients with minimally invasive cardiopulmonary bypass, platelet activation decreases, endothelial dysfunction, accompanied by an increase in the von Willebrand factor and factor VIII activity, is less pronounced; the seventh day after surgery is a period of the high risk of thrombogenic complications.
The effect of predilation on the incidence of the no/slow-reflow phenomenon in patients with acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation
Authors: Sazanov G V , Belokon' O S
Published: April 2020

Aim. To assess the effect of balloon predilation on the incidence of no/slow-reflow complication during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Methods. We analyzed the experience of the department of endovascular diagnostic and treatment methods of the Stavropol Regional Clinical Hospital for endovascular surgical treatment of patients with STEMI, including after thrombolytic therapy (TLT). The study included 721 patients admitted to the hospital within the first 12 hours from the moment of the first contact with a medical staff. For the study, patients were divided into 2 comparable groups according to the gradation scale TIMI (Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction), comparable the patients' gender, age and other characteristics. Each of the groups also was divided into 2 subgroups according to performing predilation. The study also analyzed the correlation between patients' mortality and existence of the no/slow-reflow phenomenon.

Results. The lowest incidence of the no/slow-reflow phenomenon was in groups in which predilation before stent implantation was not performed. In the group where the blood flow was higher than TIMI 0, the occurrence rate of the no/slow-reflow phenomenon was 7.2 times higher in group with predilation. In the group where the artery was occluded, the risk of the phenomenon during predilation was 3.6 times higher than in group with the tracking method. The risk of mortality in patients with no/slow-reflow phenomenon was 3.9 times higher.

Conclusion. In carrying out the percutaneous coronary intervention, the most preferable is the refusal to perform predilation if there is an appropriate technical feasibility; it is recommended for patients with a blood flow level TIMI 0 to draw a balloon catheter for an occlusion site, which may allow antegrade blood flow to be achieved.
Mujeres indígenas y representación política: la dimensión simbólica de su presencia en el espacio público
Authors: Gigena Andrea Ivanna
Published: April 2020

El presente artículo aborda la representación política de las mujeres indígenas a partir de considerar su dimensión simbólica. Se parte del supuesto de que los análisis sobre la representación descriptiva y sustantiva de grupos subrepresentados en el Estado (como indígenas y mujeres) son importantes, pero insuficientes para comprender el modo en que se desarrolla la politización y la participación de las mujeres indígenas en el espacio público. Se analiza, entonces, cómo se configura la representación simbólica y los usos que ésta asume entre los pueblos indígenas (como afirmación o como excusa) y en el Estado (como folklorización). El análisis está basado en información secundaria (documental) para la región latinoamericana e información primaria: entrevistas en profundidad e historias de vida realizadas, entre los años 2001 y 2017, a referentes sociales y políticos/políticas de diferentes pueblos indígenas en Argentina, Bolivia, Chile y Panamá.
Master Suppression Techniques and Gender Stereotypes as a Means to Discredit Female Leadership in the Media Representation of a President. A Case Study (Argentina 2011–2015)
Authors: Medina Maria Clara
Published: April 2020

Este artículo se centra en la representación mediática de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner en las portadas de la revista semanal Noticias durante su segundo mandato como presidenta de Argentina, 2011–2015. A través de una revisión feminista de la evidencia documental, este texto tiene como objetivo determinar los patrones más prevalentes en el uso de técnicas de dominación y estereotipos de género en los medios de comunicación, discutiendo la representación de mujeres políticas en narrativas visuales y escritas, ya que generalmente ésta refuerza los estereotipos de género, perjudicando la imagen pública de las candidatas y representantes femeninas. Los resultados muestran cómo cinco estereotipos de género identificables (el líder narcisista o la diva frívola; la viuda solitaria frente a la viuda malvada; la mujer hipersexualizada o descontrolada; la mujer mentalmente enferma o desequilibrada psíquicamente; y la mujer insopor­table) interactúan con siete técnicas de dominación complementarias (hacer invisible; ridiculizar; retener información; doble constreñimiento o doble castigo; culpar y humillar o avergonzar; objetivar; violencia, fuerza o amenaza de fuerza) para rechazar, subestimar o burlarse del liderazgo político femenino.
Ciencia política y género: una relación en los márgenes de la disciplina
Authors: Martin María Elena
Published: April 2020

La política y su ciencia están determinadas por el sistema de género vigente. Ello no sólo refleja la exclusión de las mujeres y de las sexualidades disidentes del proceso político real, sino también en la producción científica. Cuando la perspectiva de género ingresa a la disciplina, aporta un cambio epistemológico que consiste en reconocer la significación teórica y política de la diferencia sexual. En este trabajo analizamos la producción de la ciencia política argentina que incorpora esta perspectiva de género a partir de los congresos nacionales y de revistas relevantes de la disciplina en el período 1993–2018.

Przekonania polskiej młodzieży na temat funkcjonowania osób niepełnosprawnych w obszarze rodzinnym. Prezentacja wyników badań własnych
Authors: Zielińska Patrycja
Published: April 2020

Kształtowanie pozytywnego obrazu niepełnosprawności jest istotne z uwagi na wspólne funkcjonowanie w społeczeństwie w oparciu o zasadę wzajemnego dopełniania i uzupełniania. Tylko wtedy można mówić o pełnej integracji osób niepełnosprawnych. Niepełnosprawność dotyczy nie tylko osoby, lecz także członków jej rodziny. Poznanie przekonań polskiej młodzieży na temat funkcjonowania osób niepełnosprawnych w sferze rodzinnej stanowi przedmiot dociekań niniejszego opracowania. Podjęto w nim próbę zdiagnozowania przekonań w obrębie dwóch grup badawczych: studentów i uczniów szkół średnich. Tym samym zaistniała możliwość wyodrębnienia różnic pomiędzy grupami ankietowanych. Główny problem badawczy brzmi: Jakie są przekonania młodzieży na temat funkcjonowania osób niepełnosprawnych w obszarze rodzinnym oraz czy występują różnice między młodzieżą szkolną i akademicką w zakresie analizowanych zmiennych? W badaniu zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego. Na podstawie analizy wyników można stwierdzić, że polska młodzież jest przekonana, że osoby niepełnosprawne powinny być traktowane tak samo jak pozostali członkowie rodziny. Z uwagi na wielość aspektów funkcjonowania w rodzinie badania należy traktować jako zasygnalizowanie pola eksploracji do dalszych, pogłębionych analiz naukowych.

Opieka nad małoletnim. Wybrane zagadnienia
Authors: Baranowska-Bolesta Maria
Published: April 2020

The article addresses selected issues concerning legal guardianship of minors in Poland. The study points to the specific nature of legal guardianship and the purpose for which it is established. Legal guardianship results from the legal obligation and involves the exercise of custody of the person for whom it was established. Therefore, it covers the custody over the person, property management and representation of the ward. The appointment of a guardian, i.e. a specific person designated to exercise the custody, should be distinguished from the establishment of guardianship itself. In the process of selection of the guardian by the guardian court, the welfare of the child is the decisive factor. This is the overriding criterion and it comes to the fore of the proceedings. The principle of the child’s welfare also applies to other decisions made by the guardianship court during the guardianship. The article specifically discusses issues whose resolution may raise interpretative doubts. These include, i.a., the guardianship exercised jointly by spouses, the catalogue of negative preconditions excluding the possibility of exercising the guardianship of minors, and the obligation for the guardian to obtain authorisation in all important matters relating to the ward.

Published: April 2020

Introduction.The goal of the CLOVER study performed by the Russian Society of Clinical Oncology, was a pairwise comparison of three validated PD-L1 immunohistochemical (IHC) tests (Ventana SP142, Ventana SP263, Dako 22C3) in the patient population with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study is the first large Russian comparative study to evaluate PD-L1 expression levels using immunohistochemistry methods.

Materials and methods.The study was conducted on 473 NSCLC samples from Biobank. The IHC tests were carried out with 3 antibody clones. Four trained pathologists independently evaluated the percentage of positively stained tumor cells (TC) and immune cells (IC). To assess the correlation of TC and IC between different runs and the prognostic values of one test for another, a concordant analysis was used.

Results.The number of PD-L1‑positive cells (≥1 %) was higher among IC compared with TC in all three IHC tests. Pearson correlation coefficients (PCC) for TCs were 0.71, 0.87, and 0.75 for 22C3 / SP142, 22C3 / SP263 and SP263 / SP142, respectively. PCC values for ICs were 0.45, 0.61, and 0.68 for the same pairs. A high coincidence of positive and negative results (>91 %) was obtained between the staining with antibodies 22C3 and SP263 of immunooncological agents in the 1st line.

Conclusions.The highest correlation between IHC tests was obtained by pairwise comparison of 22C3 and SP263. Clone 22C3 can be considered as a substitute for SP263 in the first-line treatment of NSCLC. Clone SP142 showed weaker expression in TC and IC compared to the other two tests in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Published: April 2020

Chronic diseases and multimorbidity are becoming an alarming public health problem of this century. Multimorbidity is defined as “having two or more chronic diseases at one time in a person” and a result of complex biological, psychological and social phenomenon. The risks of multimorbidity can be divided into modifiable (behavioral factors) and non-modifiable (age, genetics) factors. Socioeconomic disadvantage and environmental factors can also influence on causation of it. Strategies aligned with primary, secondary and tertiary stages of prevention can help in the prevention of multimorbidity and reduction in complications among diseased. Multimorbidity requires multidimensional programs implemented through multiple stakeholder and policymaker’s collaboration.

Objective: Diabetes causes free radical production, oxidative stress and alterations in mitochondrial enzymes and apoptosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise and consumption of L-carnitine on BCL2 and some mitochondrial enzymes of the kidney in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 45 male wistar rats (200-300 gr) were simple randomly divided into six groups: 1) placebo group, 2) healthy control group, 3) diabetic control group, 4) diabetic group receiving L- carnitine, 5) diabetic group of aerobic training and 6) diabetic group of aerobic training and recipient of L-carnitine. Rats with a serum glucose level higher than 300 mg/ dL were considered diabetic. L-carnitine recipients received 100 mg of L-carnitine daily orally. The dependent variables of the study were measured 24 hours after the last training program session by ELISA in kidney tissue. Data were analyzed by Shapiro- Wilk and two way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test at P -value< 0.05. Results: The results showed that the combined effect of aerobic training and supplementation of L-carnitine on Bcl2 factor of kidney tissue of rats with diabetes has a significant effect ( P -value: 0.019). But aerobic exercise ( P -value: 0.969) and supplementation of Lcarnitine ( P -value: 0.584) were not significant. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the combined effect of aerobic exercise and supplementation of L-carnitine on CPT2 and Malonyl COa and Bcl2 have a significant effect on the kidney of diabetic rats. Also, exercise alone and consumption of Lcarnitine alone do not have a significant effect.

Objective: The main aim of this study is to investigate the possible challenges and prospects in developing the future community-oriented tourism at Sof-Umar cave and its environs after examining the contemporary benefits of traditional tourism to the local community.                                                   Methodology: The paper opted for a household survey method employing a mixed research approach. The questionnaire, interview and field observation were used as data gathering instruments whereas samples were systematically selected from Sof-Umar kebele. Descriptive and inferential statistics used to analyze the quantitative data. Findings: The findings showed that the study area has enabling factors for the future-proof of tourism to be community-focused despite the challenges that are most commonly experienced in other parts of the country where this type of tourism has been virtually established. Research limitations/implication: Because of the confinement of the objective to the possibility of making the future tourism community-focused, the study does not happen to show the contextual procedure for the development of this niche tourism. Thus, it’s recommended that a straightforward implementation guideline has to be prepared well in advance. Originality/value: This study gives stakeholders fascinating insights into the problems related to the conventional tourism and the need to make the future tourism a community-focused so as to maximize the benefits of the sector and resolve the contemporary conflict.

Published: April 2020

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that occurs due to a deficiency in insulin secretion, action or both of them. Apigenin is a potent antioxidant, found mainly in celery. Therefore, this study aimed to display the biological activity of apigenin and it is a role in lowering blood glucose levels. Apigenin has been extracted from celery and administrated daily to streptozotocin-diabetic rats for six weeks. Apigenin significantly minimizes blood glucose level, the activities of á-amylase, lipid profile and malondialdehyde in serum. On the other hand, liver glycogen has been elevated in diabetic rats that treated with apigenin. The histopathological and immunohistochemical results confirmed that apigenin can decrease degenerative changes in the pancreatic â-cells. So, this study, depicts that apigenin considers a hypoglycemic agent with the potency to normalize odd in the biochemical parameter of diabetes and keep the normal architecture of the islet cells of the pancreas.

Authors: Narayana Rita , Kale Asaram
Published: April 2020

An attempt has been made in the present study to explore the potential of Spirulina, a cyanobacterium, photoautotrophic microorganism in initiating a stimulatory effect on the microflora of Probiotic yoghurt. Probiotic yoghurt was prepared by adding 1 percent inoculum of probiotic Bifidobacterium bifidum to yoghurt cultures viz., Streptococcus. salivarius ssp. thermophilus and Lactobacillus. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus. Spirulina enriched functional Probiotic yoghurt was prepared by using 1 gram of Spirulina per litre of mix.The pH and acidity of probiotic yoghurt and Spirulina enriched Probiotic yoghurt on 0 day was 4.31± 0.007, 0.96± 0.002 and 4.31± 0.009, 0.96± 0.005 respectively. On the 3rd it was 4.30 ± 0.003, 0.96 ± 0.004 and 4.31 ± 0.004, 0.96± 0.005 respectively. There was no significant difference in the pH and acidity of Probiotic and Spirulina enriched yoghurt between these 2 sampling periods. The pH and acidity of probiotic yoghurt and spirulina enriched probiotic yoghurt on the 7th day was 4.28 ± 0.001, 1.11 ± 0.030 and 4.31 ± 0.004, 1.02 ± 0.023 respectively. Significant difference was noticed in pH and acidity in these two treatments on 7th day. The Spirulina enriched sample was less acidic than Probiotic yoghurt. There was virtually no difference in viable numbers of S. salivarius ssp. thermophilus, L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Bifidobacterium bifidum on 0 and 3rd day. However the growth of the three lactic acid bacteria used was higher in Spirulina enriched yoghurt than in Probiotic yoghurt on the 7th day. The addition of cyanobacterial bio mass to Bifidobacterium bifidum, S. salivarius ssp. thermophilus and L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus had beneficial effect on their viability. No spoilage organism was detected at any sampling time, indicating the high degree of sanitation during processing and packaging products.

Earlier strategies for progress of agriculture sector in India were focused principally on raising agricultural output and improving food security. The net result is the farmer’s absolute income remained low which lead to agrarian distress. The country also witnessed a sharp increase in the number of farmers suicides. It is apparent that income earned by farmers from agriculture is crucial to address distress and promote farmers welfare. The government is desiring and working towards doubling the farmer’s income by 2022. Union budget 2016-17emphasizes the need to go beyond food security and provide farmers a sense of income security. The agriculture allied sector such as dairying, poultry, goatry, horticulture etc. will play crucial role in achieving the government’s goal to double farmer’s income by 2022. Dairying and livestock sector form the backbone of agriculture and its contribution to agriculture GDP is around 28%. The progress in the sector results in balanced development of the rural economy particularly in reducing the poverty amongst the weaker sections. Dairy is a more equitable agriculture occupation. To improve the share of dairying in farmers income, innovative measures are needed to be explored and shall be implemented on large scale.

Beetroot is rich in various nutrients. Hence the present study was conducted to develop a ready to serve (RTS) drink using beetroot juice. The juice of beetroot was extracted and added with different concentrations of sugar and citric acid to optimize the best-suited combination of ingredients. Standardization of RTS was done using ranking sensory evaluation test. Two variants of ginger and black pepper flavor were also prepared and standardized. The standardized amount of ingredients after sensory analysis for RTS was found to be 17.7% juice content, 7.5% sugar and 0.1% citric acid. The black pepper variant was standardized at 0.4% black pepper in the original product and the ginger variant standardized at 1.5% ginger extract. The beetroot drink and its variants having an optimized amount of ingredients were analysed for their physico-chemical properties. Shelf life analysis for a period of one month was also carried out.

Pulses are the chief source of protein in routine diet of Indian vegetarian population. During 2016-17 an unprecedented production of 22.95mt and import of 3.11mt had created a surplus buffer stock of pulses. Government of India had decided to liquidate the pulses buffer stock after examining the quality of stocks to accommodate the fresh arrival. The Department of Consumer Affairs (DoCA), has identified ICAR-IIPR to conduct survey research at 10 locations across the country on existing pulses buffer stock. A team of three members from ICAR-IIPR surveyed, observed and collected 47 samples of pulses (pigeonpea, chickpea, green gram, black gram and lentil) from 26 warehouses. The collected samples were analyzed for grain refractions and milling recovery. The physical observations on ventilation at godowns, bags, dunnage, stack size, sampling and maintenance of stocks were discussed in this article.
