Climate Change Adaptation and Vulnerability Planning within the Municipal and Regional System
Authors: Larsson Lars , Keskitalo Carina , Åkermark Jenny
Published: March 2024

The integration or mainstreaming of adaptation to climate change, while highly emphasized in the literature, is often operationally both very complex and places high requirements on resources for coordination in organizational units. This study reviews the development of integration of adaptation in the regional and local risk and vulnerability analysis processes, in the cases of the counties of Norrbotten and Västerbotten in Northern Sweden. The study concludes that adaptation as a non-binding and not specifically resourced policy area risks limited integration with existing measures. The Swedish distribution of authority and resourcing on adaptation, focusing on integrating adaptation within the municipal authority without specific funding, will thus constitute a limitation to integration and mainstreaming in particular in sparsely populated municipalities that despite limited tax bases are required to maintain the same municipal services as a larger municipality.
Sheep Farmers in the Realm of Læstadius
Authors: Lillevoll Tor Arne
Published: March 2024

The article discusses some aspects of a successful development in a village in Northern Norway, where agriculture is an important industry. The author examines family-based farms with sheep, upbringing, socialization and learning in communities of practice, and integrated academic and sociocultural forces in development. Sheep farming in the studied village is integrated into a sophisticated field of knowledge rooted in the local culture. An important aspect is the bidirectional support and knowledge exchange between experience-based and science-based knowledge centres (i.e. there is a two-way transfer): the farmers supply external agricultural experts with data on breeding and fattening, and subsequently input their derived knowledge for further use in development. Another important part of this field of practice is financial support from the state. The author argues that the interaction between culture and the business environment is important and provides synergy. As a consequence, an extraordinary momentum resulting from sheep farming is created in the mapping between the organized business community on the one hand, and local culture and religious communities with strong historical roots on the other hand. The findings indicate that these conditions could be of general interest for innovation and development also in other industries and other types of societies.
The Role of Place- Names in Olof Sirma’s two Yoik Texts and their Translations
Authors: Zorgdrager Nellejet
Published: March 2024

This article discusses the place-names in two old Sami yoik songs. These songs, provided by Olof Sirma, a Sami student, were published in Sami and Latin in Schefferus’ book Lapponia in 1673. They became known as the winter song and the summer song. The winter song is a kind of travel account in which a lover tells about his journey by reindeer sledge. In the summer song he dreams about his absent love. Before the end of the twentieth century both love songs were translated many times into various languages. The article takes up the placenames, the landscape described in the songs as well as the homeland of Sirma and the places mentioned in the texts. It discusses what the respective translators did with the place-names from the Latin source texts, in what way they changed the landscape in their translated versions, how, through misreading, a place-name could become the name of a girl or how a place-name was used for personal ends as proof of a questionable thesis. When, in the twentieth century, translators turned to the Sami source texts, the original landscape gradually emerges again.
The Illocutionary Force of Inuit Ice Vocabularies
Authors: Shields Rob
Published: March 2024

Lexicons of Yup’ik sea-ice terminology rely on extra-textual elements, including photographs, diagrams and sketches. Definitions are also supplemented with stories about personal experience and of the behaviour of ice phenomena. Speech act theory argues that these elements communicate an often overlooked illocutionary dimension which shows the importance of semantics in addition to the syntax of scientific definitions. The illocutionary aspects captures the performative, experiential quality of sea ice as a lived environment engaged in processes of hunting, travel and fishing. I argue that the illocutionary force of the descriptions presented in the lexicons is epistemic and ignoring this silences the Indigenous “voice.” This supports Townsends argument that illocutionary silencing occurs when science treats environmental descriptions as not material but cultural and circumstantial.
Living (with) Ice
Authors: Hastrup Kirsten
Published: March 2024

The main tenet of this article is to show how the ice, so visually dominant in the High Arctic, is also a prominent life force. The ice is never still and as it moves, melts or freeze, it deeply affects human and animal life in the region; conversely the diverse life-forms affect the icy environment in their own way and tempo. This interplay exposes the geo-social relations at the centre of this article, taking off from the gradual retraction of the ice after the last Ice Age, opening up for human movement and settlement in High Arctic America and eventually in Thule (Avanersuaq), in Northwest Greenland. Today some 750 people live there as hunters in the unsurpassable old hunting style, yet also as modern as anybody when it comes to outlook. Through brief discussions of particular periods, from the “discovery” of the Inughuit in 1819 and until the present, it is shown how deeply their life is implicated in the living ice, for better and for worse. The ice emerges as a refrain that holds the landscape together. The argument is based both in historical research and in regular anthropological fieldwork in the region over ten years 2007–2017.
The Age of Climate Change
Authors: Kverndokk Kyrre
Published: March 2024

This article elaborates the multiple temporalities of climate change discourses and practises and discusses some possible common denominators in the timescales and time structures related to global warming. It first examines some of the key concepts in climate research, before discussing vernacular notions of time. Finally, some expressions and tropes that have impacted a trans-national popular climate discourse are examined. The timescales and temporal structures discussed have quite different extents, from millions of years to a generation or two. Some of these temporalities are chronological while others are cyclical. They are also about completely different phenomena—from geology to society and kin. However, the article concludes that they are interconnected through their focus on the present moment, and the temporal structure of kairos, in Frank Kermode’s understanding of the term. In that regard, they are temporalities expressing a notion of a contemporary crisis, that is both urgent and of almost cosmological propositions.

North Norway
Authors: Niemi Einar
Published: March 2024

The article has as a starting point the fact that regions are one of the central political topics of today. Though regions have certain roots in history, they were not politicized until the nineteenth century, when they were “invented” as a tool for identity-shaping and development in the fringe areas of the state. The article operates with North Norway as a case in analyzing modern region-building processes and state regionalization strategies. This region is well suited as a case because of its particular position as a border area and its unique position in Norway’s political and economic history. The region-building process developed through distinct stages. In the 1970s North Norway came close to being understood as an identity region. Since the early 1990s, however, there have been fissures in this identity and the old regional visions have been under pressure from within as well as from without. In addition old tensions within the region have been disclosed. The most striking example is Finnmark, the northernmost county of the region, and of the nation as well, which through history has played a role in the margin. It is a kind of historical irony that the current development of the Norwegian “northern policy” programme together with the promising prospect of ocean-based oil and gas industry has put Finnmark in the forefront of future expectations.
Liminality, Rock Art and the Sami Sacred Landscape
Authors: Mulk Inga-Maria , Bayliss-Smith Tim
Published: March 2024

The paper suggests that cultural landscapes were permeated by religious meanings in all pre-modern societies, including Sami societies before c. AD 1600. We suggest that knowledge of this sacred landscape was not restricted to an elite or to shamans, but was widely shared. For the Sami, religious rituals and associated images (e.g. rock art) involved all levels within a social hierarchy that linked the individual adult or child, the family, the band or sijdda, and the association of family groups or vuobme. We can decode the sacred landscapes of such societies if we can reconstruct sites of perceived anomaly and liminality in the landscape. This is discussed in the article with reference to Proto-Uralic cosmology in general and the Sami world-view in particular. The concepts of anomaly and liminality enable us to interpret the Badjelánnda rock art site in Laponia, northern Sweden, as not only a place of resource procurement (asbestos, soapstone) but also a sacred site. We suggest that the Badjelánnda site should be seen as a gateway to the Underworld, and therefore visits for quarrying, human burials at the site, or wild reindeer hunting in the vicinity were marked by ritual acts, directed perhaps towards the Sami female deity Máttaráhkká. The rock art should therefore be interpreted as an aspect of religious ritual, and in a context where anomalous topography signified that the Badjelánnda site was necessarily a liminal place.
When Science Came to the Arctic
Authors: Fjågesund Peter
Published: March 2024

The article discusses Constantine Phipps’s expedition to Spitsbergen in 1773 and the extent to which it may be regarded as introducing a new and scientific discourse with respect to the Arctic. Phipps appears to be the first Arctic explorer who comes to the region with a modern, scientific mind, and the first to fully reflect a scientific approach to it in the report he writes and publishes on his return. Thus, although the background of the expedition was political and strategic, he may be said to have pioneered a view of the Arctic as being above narrow, nationalist interests. Similarly, it is argued that Phipps’s scientific approach paradoxically also heralds the aesthetic dimension of the Romantic period in the region. The article also compares Phipps’s expedition with those of Captain Cook, which were taking place at the same time.
"Chicken Is Not a Bird - Kirkenes Is Not Abroad"
Authors: Rogova Anastasia
Published: March 2024

This article focuses on the Russian-Norwegian borderland and its development in the 1990s and early twenty-first century. In 1991, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the border was opened for communication in both ways, and since then its meaning has undergone significant changes that have reshaped the whole territory. My argument is that there are nowadays a considerable number of people in the borderland whose “own” territory is not limited any more by the state border, but includes both Russian and Norwegian territories as parts of a unified personal space, which is neither Russia, nor Norway to the full extent. Practical, operative space has expanded for the local people who actively use border-related resources in their everyday life. Local identity has changed, and the broadening of operative space has led to the formation of new life strategies and social mobility in the region. The idea of a unified crossborder space is now implemented both on the individual level, as a result of extensive cross-border contacts, and on the level of political and administrative decisions and official discourses. Furthermore, political and cultural elites of the region are actively constructing the concept of the Euro-Arctic Barents Region as an identity region.
Bilateral Approach to Ecosystem-Based Marine Management in the Barents Sea
Authors: Rodríguez Nicolás J. I.
Published: March 2024

In 2006 the Government of Norway presented a marine management plan for the Norwegian part of the Barents Sea, and a Northern strategy was introduced as a supportive regional instrument. For the first time the method of ecosystem approach is applied in a Norwegian context as a principle in the Barents Sea plan. The main elements of the plan consist of ecosystem indicators, management goals and planning maps indicating biologically vulnerable areas where petroleum activity cannot be performed. An important question is the relation between the plan and existing management regimes in laws and through bilateral cooperation in the Barents Sea, in respect of both biological resources and non-renewable resource extraction. A general, political plan such as the Barents Sea plan must have some sort of consistency among already existing legal regimes, sector management and bilateral cooperation in order to succeed. If underlying regimes are not sustainable in their practice, neither can a general plan be. The article examines the basis for an implementation of an ecosystem approach comparing the bilateral management of Norway and Russia in the Barents Sea using the question of fishery resources in the region as a case.
Elderly Sami as the "Other"
Authors: Liliequist Marianne , Karlsson Lena
Published: March 2024

In this article, the authors have examined images of elderly Sami in relation to elderly care in Sweden between the years 1850 and 1930. What discourses can be revealed from spoken statements, written documents and everyday practices? This study has shown that the higher the degree of closeness and mutual exchange between Sami and non-Sami, the more the image of the “Other” as something “foreign” has been challenged and rejected. To be able to one-sidedly distance oneself from other people and turn them into stereotypes requires a certain amount of emotional and geographic distance. Where there has been physical distance and a lack of mutually beneficial exchange, the elderly Sami are more often described as “foreign,” “threatening” and “deviant,” a force of nature that must be tamed and controlled. The Sami dismissed as “not-quite-human” in the popular discourse were the paupers among them. A more balanced relationship existed between the Sami and the settlers in the mountains and the elderly Sami were often described as “one of the family.” The staffs of the Sami old-age homes were far more nuanced in their view of the elderly than the civil servants sent from Stockholm to report back on the Sami.
Corporeality of Consultant Expertise in Arctic Natural Gas Development
Authors: Mason Arthur , Stoilkova Maria
Published: March 2024

The contemporary ethnographic landscape and social fields of emerging actors involved in resource extraction in the Arctic draw attention to the role “expert” knowledge, specifically, the organization of consultant work, the production, commodification and dissemination of expert forecasting, and technologies. While anthropology traditionally has focused on adaptations in northern areas in relation to state policies, regulations of the environment and ethnopolitical categorizations, in this article we introduce new approaches to the study of experts and forms of knowledge that have the potential for shaping energy development in the Arctic. We contribute to the state of theory and knowledge in relation to how experts drive the structure and content of pivotal conversations on Arctic oil and gas development by building a conceptual terminology and typology of relations between products of human bodies associated with expertise (gesture, ideas, voice, linguistic phenomena) and the material environment that ensures the security and authority of experts (turnstiles, ID badges, guards) as forces of energy production in their own right.
Temporary Internal Migration
Authors: Edwards Wayne
Published: March 2024

It is well established in the literature that an important reason why people move from place to place is to seek employment. One way to balance non-job considerations against the need for a wage income is to move to another place temporarily for a job opportunity. By making a temporary move, an individual can maintain his or her residence in a community, thereby retaining place level amenities, family relationships, traditional activities, and so on. Temporary migration for market work might be an especially attractive solution for people who have strong community ties but few job opportunities. This paper concentrates on the case of internal temporary migration for job market reasons in Alaska. Some U.S. Census data are useful for analysis of migration, but those data are not collected frequently enough to address temporary migration questions well. Using a set of pre-existing non-Census surveys, this paper examines temporary migrants in north and northwest Alaska. For the investigated area, approximately 8 per cent to 16 per cent of the population are engaged in temporary migration for market work. Substantial seasonal differences in temporary migration rates are uncovered, as are gender differences.
Telling Tales Testing Boundaries
Authors: Forsås-Scott Helena
Published: March 2024

Beginning with analyses of De tre små mästarna (1961) [Under the Snow] and Händelser vid vatten (1993) [Blackwater], this investigation into the representation of Norrland in the prose fiction of Kerstin Ekman draws on theoretical material by, among others, Umberto Eco, Mieke Bal, and Rosi Braidotti. The study revolves around the ways in which the texts are told and, especially, who is seeing the events narrated and the implications of this. The juxtaposition of different focalisers in Blackwater helps engage the reader in the novel’s central questions about memory, identity, environmental destruction, and interpretation. With the central character a troll from the forest, Rövarna i Skuleskogen (1988) [The Forest of Hours] develops a far-reaching critique of the western categories and boundaries used to determine what is ‘human’ and what is ‘animal’. In the trilogy The Wolfskin, consisting of Guds barmhärtighet (1999) [God’s Mercy], Sista rompan (2002) [‘The Last String’] and Skraplotter (2003) [‘Scratch Cards], a plot covering the whole of the twentieth century is focalised by a number of characters and involves the reader in issues to do with postcolonialism, environmentalism and ethics.
What is Hidden in Västerbotten’s Stomach?
Authors: Bak Krzysztof
Published: March 2024

The article investigates the complex intertextual dialogue between Torgny Lindgren’s Minnen (2010) and Augustine’s Confessions, from which Lindgren has taken the motto of his autobiography. By using the patristic intertext as a starting point, the investigation intends to show how Lindgren has constructed his image of Västerbotten. The article is divided into four parts. The first part (I), establishes the heuristic principles of the investigation, which adhere to the recent tendency in patristic studies to observe the heterogeneous character of Augustine’s world of thought. The second part of the article (II) charts parallels between text and intertext in their portrayal of grace, evil, and man. It emerges that those elements of Lindgren’s world view which are particularly closely related to Augustinian theology are also the ones that possess a particularly strong Västerbottnian character. This intertextual affinity can be explained not only with reference to the Lutheran tradition of Västerbotten, but also has to be related to the text’s specificstructure of memoria, which is unravelled in the remaining parts (III–IV). On the basis of modern cultural anthropological theories of memory, the third part demonstrates that most of the differences between text and intertext can be linked to the cultural memory of modernity, and document the rise and fall of industrial subjectivity. Lindgren embeds his autobiographical version of Västerbotten into the basic structure of modern memory, transforms it into a quasi-subject, and taints it with the symptoms of decay that plague the industrial ‘I.’ In the same as Western modernity, Minnen draws the majority of its metaphors of dissolution from Augustine’s paradigmatic doctrine of sin. The fourth part of the article (IV) aims to analyse the autobiography’s mechanisms of substitution. It is argued that these attempt—in analogy to many Western critics of modernity—to counteract the crisis of industrial cultural memory by reviving the Augustinian forms of memoria and creating a synthesis of pre-industrial and industrial. Within the quasi-subject of Västerbotten and its wealth of agrarian objects, Lindgren finds adequate metaphorical models for use in his compensatory project of counter-memory. The article concludes by observing that, just as Minnen’s productive dialogue with Augustine allows it to recapitulate the history of Western memory, Lindgren’s Västerbotten is elevated to the status of a universal symbol of European consciousness and its fate.

This paper examines the role of Borg Mesch (1869–1956) in the development of a nascent tourist industry in the North of Sweden. The concept of culture broker is used to clarify Mesch’s varying activities as a photographer, outfitter, and guide in relation to two different clienteles: Swedes from the south of the country and international tourists from England and elsewhere. The history of Svenska Turistföreningen (the Swedish Tourist Association) in facilitating tourist activities in northern regions is described.
Who Is Responsible for Today’s Northern Landscapes, Climate or Human Beings?
Authors: Hicks Sheila
Published: March 2024

The present-day landscapes of northern Fennoscandia are the end result of a process of evolution. Mountains and valleys have scarcely altered during the last 10,000 years, whereas coastal areas have slowly but constantly changed. The nature of the vegetation that covers the landscape and is driven primarily by climate, has changed at a faster rate, but fastest of all have been the changes resulting from human activities. Steps towards the present-day situation are briefly reviewed on different temporal and spatial scales and on each the impacts of climate and people are weighed one against the other. Environmental reconstructions are made on the basis of pollen analysis and historical/archaeological records, while a quantified basis for their interpretation is provided by present day reference situations. Examples from palaeoecological research projects provide illustrations. On the coarsest spatial and temporal scales the bigger driving force is climate, but if the focus is on a small area and the time considered the last 100 years, then it is people who have played the bigger role in producing what we see. Two important questions for the north are: which impact will have the bigger effect in the future, the climate or human beings, and will future changes be reversible or not?
Sweden and the Transformation of Northern Historiography
Authors: Knoespel Kenneth J.
Published: March 2024

Viewed from the Mediterranean South, the North was associated from the earliest ages with a darkness linked with strange languages, distance, alien cultural behavior, and just plain bad weather. This darkness—or the fog and mist if we use the early description of Marco Polo—was not ignored but itself became a screen upon which the South could project an ever-growing list of fantasies. While Swedish figures such as Olof Rudbeck made elaborate national projections about the role of the North in civilization, Carl von Linné and others succeeded in translating fantasies of political empire into kingdoms of knowledge. Drawing on Swedish historiography and the history of technology, this essay poses questions about the ways Sweden’s often invisible presence continues to shape the formulation of knowledge.

Formar cidadãos capazes de desenvolver competências associadas à construção, apropriação e utilização crítica de conhecimentos científicos em sua realidade individual ou coletiva é o objetivo do ensino baseado em competências. A partir deste contexto, buscamos compreender de que maneira a utilização do Ensino por Investigação pode favorecer ou potencializar o desenvolvimento de Competências Científicas em sua dimensão conceitual e procedimental. Para isso, realizamos um Estudo de Caso, por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, onde analisamos as produções gráficas de 22 estudantes de um Clube de Ciências na Amazônia que foram realizadas durante a etapa Escrevendo e Desenhando de uma Sequência de Ensino Investigativo (SEI) que abordou o “Problema do Barquinho”, buscando identificar a presença de Indicadores de Competências Científicas (ICC) associados às referidas dimensões. No delineamento metodológico, elaboramos uma rubrica com base em nosso referencial teórico composta por cinco ICC para cada dimensão analisada. Os resultados demonstram que a maioria das produções gráficas apresentaram ICC associados à dimensão procedimental e um número satisfatório apresentou ICC da dimensão conceitual, evidenciando que a abordagem investigativa favorece e oportuniza o desenvolvimento de competências de caráter técnico e metodológico do fazer científico e de caráter cognitivo como o aprendizado de conceitos científicos.
A Dimensão Educacional da Etnoquímica: Breve estado da arte

Published: March 2024

Neste artigo teórico fazemos inicialmente uma discussão sobre a Etnociência, campo de pesquisa e estudo que busca entender e valorizar os saberes e práticas populares, as outras formas de fazer ciência. Em seguida, buscamos entender a Etnoquímica, que é um campo mais recente, fazendo um breve estado da arte, uma análise de trabalhos a partir da dimensão educacional. Compreendemos que a Etnoquímica, como uma Etnociência, não pode se limitar apenas aos saberes e práticas químicas de um outro grupo, embora possa haver proximidades com a Química, deve-se compreender inicialmente os saberes populares como uma ciência geral que transcende as barreiras disciplinares da academia, valorizando e respeitando. Com essa discussão, e a partir da análise, constatamos que a dimensão educacional tem se destacado, trazendo possibilidades de inserir os saberes populares no ensino e aprendizagem de Química.

Published: March 2024

Transmitir um conceito considerado pelos alunos de difícil aquisição e fazê-los aprender de forma eficaz, ainda é um desafio, pois quanto mais complexo o assunto, maior é o déficit de aprendizagem. Partindo deste ponto de vista e objetivando minimizar as barreiras inerentes a aprendizagem, propusemos histórias em quadrinhas como uma metodologia eficaz, onde abordou-se conceitos de física ensinados na disciplina de Ciências, particularmente, aqueles inerentes ao cotidiano do aluno. Tais conceitos foram apresentados aos alunos do 9° ano do Ensino Fundamental II de uma escola da rede pública da cidade de Marabá-PA usando uma revista na forma de histórias em quadrinhos contendo conceitos de física. A escolha da revista neste formato e aplicação dessa metodologia são baseadas na teoria da aprendizagem significativa de David Ausubel. Dessa forma, considerou-se os conhecimentos prévios dos estudantes de modo a ancorá-los aos novos conhecimentos adquiridos. Além disso, tentou-se proporcionar à prática do professor melhor aplicabilidade no nível da teoria de Ausubel, isto é, unindo o conhecimento teórico ao desenvolvimento de um ensino efetivo e satisfatório, configurando-se como instrumento viabilizador de aprendizagem e, que neste trabalho, foi atrelada à metodologia dos quadrinhos.
ADVANCING NATURAL FARMING: A SYSTEMATICAL LITERATURE REVIEW OF NATURAL FARMING PRACTICES IN INDIA
Authors: Osama Mohammed Salih Bashir Daifa  , Dawit Negussie Tolossa  , Dr. Nilam Panchal  , Mr Sudhanshu Jangir
Published: March 2024

The agricultural sector captures a key position and is the backbone of the Indian economy. This systematic literature review (SLR) investigates the efficacy of natural farming practices, which is known as Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF), in addressing sustainability challenges in Indian agriculture. Analyzing 21 finalized papers spanning 2015 to 2024, the review explores ZBNFs impact on farmer incomes, crop yields, and soil health. Findings suggest that ZBNF reduces production costs, enhances soil fertility, and mitigates adverse environmental effects. However, challenges such as limited resources, pest management, and technological constraints hinder widespread adoption. Graphical analyses illustrate increasing research output and Indias prominence in the field. Overall, the review emphasizes the potential of natural farming to promote socio-ecological resilience and calls for further research to address implementation challenges foster policy support for sustainable agriculture, and encourage farmers to consider it lifestyle.

The article presents the results of a study of the antibacterial effect of shampoo with chlorhexidine for dogs and cats. It was found that with serial dilution of antibacterial shampoo in meatpeptone broth, it prevents the growth of E. coli in dilutions of 1:10 and 1:100; S. aureus in dilutions of 1:10 and 1:100; P. aeruginosa in dilutions of 1:10 and 1:100; S. enterica in dilutions of 1:10, 1:100 and 1:1000; P. vulgaris in breeding 1:10 and 1:100. And it was also found that the test sample interferes with the growth of E. coli at a dilution of 1:10 on the Endo medium; S. aureus in dilution of 1:10 and 1:100 on elective, salt agar; P. aeruginosa in dilution of 1:10 per MPA; S. enterica in dilution of 1:10, 1:100 and 1:1000 per MPA; P. vulgaris in dilution of 1:10 and 1:100 per MPA. Thus, even at a concentration of 1:10, the shampoo has an antiseptic effect. It is recommended to use shampoo in the initial concentration.

In the article, in a comparative aspect, the description of the tissue and cellular organization of the vomeronasal organ (VNO), its vascular system and innervation in two species of animals of different habitats – the common beaver and the Katada sheep breed is given. It is shown that in the studied animals, in particular, the epithelial lining of the lateral and medial walls, has general patterns characteristic of the mammalian vomeronasal system. The innervation of the EIT of a beaver and a sheep has no significant differences between them. At the same time, the sheep's EIT has a more complex surface relief, resembling an inverted letter of the Greek alphabet "delta", which is a species-specific feature of this animal species. In addition, the cavity of the beaver is located ventromedially with respect to the central vein, and the sheep is located dorsomedially. Along with this, in the ventral part of the epithelial layer of the beaver, there is a depression lined with a multilayer cubic epithelium, which is not found in the sheep's EIT. Also, in the submucosal base of the lateral wall of the beaver's EIT, there are single neurons that are absent in the sheep's EIT. The submucosal base of the sheep's EIT, in comparison with the submucosal base of the beaver's EIT, contains a large number of serous glands concentrated mainly along the perimeter from the central vein, there are also single groups of mucous glands, whereas in the beaver's EIT, these types of glands are extremely few and concentrated dorsally in relation to its cavity.

This article presents data on the use of a feed additive based on soy protein «Abiotonic» in dairy farming, produced by Firm A-BIO LLC, Moscow. In the livestock farm of Sovkhoz Golovkovo LLC, Naro-Fominsk district, two groups of Holstein cows of 20 heads each were formed. The experimental group with the basic diet was given the feed additive «Abiotonic» at a dose of 1,0 ml/kg of live weight, three times a week for 30 days. Biochemical blood tests were carried out at the Bambi Veterinary Medicine Center using a Mindray BS-120 automatic analyzer. Based on the results of the studies, it was established that the feed additive «Abiotonic» does not have a negative effect on the clinical status of animals and the biochemical parameters of the blood of cows in general, it contributes to an increase in fat in milk by 0,33 %, protein by 0,06 % and SOMO by 0,09 % compared to control. The safety indicators of the resulting milk comply with the requirements of Technical Regulations of the Customs Union «On the safety of milk and dairy products» (TR CU 033/2013).

In a study conducted on replacement heifers (111–116 days), nitrogen balance was studied when different whole milk feeding schemes were used at their early age. According to the results of the experiment, it was found that that a decrease in the milk norm established on the farm of 375 liters did not subsequently lead to significant changes in the nitrogen balance and the dynamics of growth and development of replacement heifers. At the same time, the greatest efficiency of using nitrogen taken with feed was noted in the experimental group of heifers that received 345 liters of whole milk. With an additional reduction in milk drinking rates to 285 liters, an increase in the average daily feed consumption was detected in the experimental animals.

The course of eimeriosis in broiler chickens was studied during experimental infection with a mixed culture (Eimeria acervulina, Eimeria tenella, Eimeria maxima) at a dose of 500 sporumerated oocysts. The disease did not manifest itself clinically, the chickens of the challenge and control groups ate the food well, the chickens of the experimental group were less active, and their feces were mixed with mucus. The chickens of the challenge group consumed 765 g more feed than the control group; the increase in live weight over 7 days in the challenge group was 5.6 g lower than the control one. During histological examination, changes were noted in the duodenum, middle intestine and blind processes of the large intestine, characteristic of eimeriosis.

Currently, there is an urgent issue about import substitution with highly effective domestic drugs used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of diseases of parasitic etiology: ixodidosis, aphonipterosis, trichodectosis, otodectosis, sarcoptic mange and others. The article presents data on the study of the insectoacaricidal effectiveness of the modern domestic antiparasitic drug OKVET® EXPRESSTABS ® tablets on dogs spontaneously infested with Ixodes ricinus, Ixodes persulcatus, Dermacentor reticulatus, Ctenocephalides canis, Trichodectes canis, Otodectos cynotis and Sarcoptes spp. As a result of the studies, it was found that the acaricidal effectiveness of the drug OKVET® antiparasitic tablets for ixodidosis lasts 35 days, the insecticidal effect against Ctenocephalides canis and Trichodectes canis in dogs was observed already 2 days after use and lasts 42–45 days, and an acaricidal effect was also established against scabies mites Otodectos cynotis and Sarcoptes spp., since scabies mites were not diagnosed in dogs on the 28th day after application. These studies indicate high effectiveness OKVET® antiparasitic tablets, which are not inferior to imported analogues.

Project-based learning is one of the most effective learning strategies to engage students and improve their understanding towards Science concepts. This study was conducted to develop a project-based learning module for the Ecosystem Balance theme of Year One Science. The development of the module according to ADDIE instructional design but this study only focused on the development phase which consisted of the development and validity evaluation of the module. The module was developed by integrating four content standards of Science Year One which are components of plant, Earth surface, soil, and construction from basic shapes and blocks. The module was developed to apply the project-based learning strategy that involved the production of scrapbook and construction of a garden model in the shape of a diorama. The findings showed that the module had a high percentage of expert agreement value of 92% (SD = 9) for face validity and 97% (SD = 3) for content validity. The module is expected to attract Year One students to study Science subject and embedded science process skills, critical and creative thinking skills, 21st century skills and high-level thinking skills in themselves. The implication of this study is that the project-based learning module developed can assist teachers in the implementation of home-based teaching and learning method as an alternative to new norms learning.

This study aimed to explore the effect of enteral nutrition support, based on the rapid rehabilitation surgery concept, on the postoperative recovery and nutritional status of elderly patients with colorectal cancer. One hundred patients who underwent radical laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer in our department from January 2021 to December 2022 were included. Traditional nursing measures were adopted for patients in the control group, while early enteral nutrition support based on accelerated rehabilitation surgery was provided to patients in the observation group. Our findings revealed that the time to get out of bed, exhaust, defecate, have the first feeding, and hospital stay was shorter in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Following nursing, the occurrence of complications, serum C-reactive protein levels, and lymphocyte count decreased (P < 0.05), while the nutritional and immune indexes, as well as SF-36 scores increased (P < 0.05) in the observation group compared to the control group. Our results suggested that early enteral nutrition support based on rapid rehabilitation surgery can significantly improve the nutritional and immune indexes of patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery and has good clinical efficacy.

Recognizing human activity from video sequences and sensor data is one of the major challenges in human-computer interaction and computer vision. Health care is a rapidly developing field of technology and services. The latest development in this field is remote patient monitoring, which has many advantages in a rapidly evolving world. With relatively simple applications for monitoring patients within hospital rooms, technology has advanced to the point where a patient can be allowed to carry out normal daily activities at home while still being monitored using modern communication technologies and sensors. These new technologies can monitor patients based on their disease or condition. The technology varies from sensors attached to the body to peripheral sensors connected to the environment, and innovations show contactless monitoring that only requires the patient to be within a few meters of the sensor. Nowadays, the Internet of Things, wearable devices, mobile technologies, and improved communication and computing capabilities have given rise to innovative mobile health solutions, and several research efforts have recently been made in the field of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This technology may be particularly useful for some rapidly changing emotional states, especially people with ASD. Children with ASD have some disturbing activities, and usually cannot speak fluently. Instead, they use signs and words to establish rapport, so understanding their needs is one of the most challenging tasks for healthcare providers, but monitoring the disease can make it much easier. We study in this work more than 50 collected articles that have made a significant contribution to the field were selected. Indeed, the current paper reviews the literature to identify current trends, expectations, and potential gaps related to the latest portable, smart, and wearable technologies in the field of ASD. This study also provides a review of recent developments in health care and monitoring of people with autism.
