Authors: Savchenko E.A. , Khokhlova A.Y.
Published: July 2019

The article is devoted to the analysis of written language of adolescents and young people with hearing impairment in the virtual space. The study involved 28 people, aged 16 to 20 years, 14 of them were with hearing impairments. 3 people at the age of 16 years old, 9 people are 17 years old, 4 people are 18 years old. The first part of the study was conducted as online questionnaires, which was aimed to clarify preferred virtual spaces for communication, the attitude to the written communication, also creative tasks for evaluation of written language developed by O.V. Vilenskaya was included. The second part consisted of analysis of the contents of the social network profile of the participants. The results have shown that the written language of deaf adolescents and young people in social networks reflected the general features of their verbal communication and social relations (in general, they use less detailed written statements than hearing peers do, less actually initiated written language, less flexible writing, less partners for communication in social networks, the prevalence of consistency errors). Nevertheless, it is significant that they appreciate the importance of writing and try to monitor its accuracy. Virtual communication in the life of young people with hearing impairments plays the same role as in the life of hearing peers and they successfully master this side of modern reality.

Authors: Melo Andréia Lima Tomé , Pitrowsky Anielly Karoliny
Published: July 2019

Sabe-se que hoje é muito comum encontrar animais malnutridos no ambiente hospitalar, pois os clínicos não acreditam que a alimentação seja tão necessária para o sucesso da recuperação do paciente e isso não pode ser negligenciado. É importante ter em mente que os efeitos relacionados a isso implicam o aumento da morbidade e mortalidade e que objetivo da nutrição, seja esta por via enteral ou parenteral, é prevenir a desnutrição e auxiliar na recuperação do paciente. Deve-se formular protocolos para definir as necessidades calóricas do animal e sempre acompanhar os prontuários dos mesmos, estando atento ao seu consumo diário de alimentos para saber quando e como intervir nutricionalmente. O tipo de nutrição a ser aplicado vai depender das condições clinicas de cada indivíduo e pode variar de acordo com a doença primária, do quadro clínico e das possíveis complicações. O correto é procurar causar o mínimo de estresse ou trauma adicional ao animal, sempre iniciando pelo suporte nutricional básico como a estimulação do apetite, evoluindo, se necessário, para a técnica de nutrição enteral ou parenteral. Esta revisão de literatura tem como objetivo relatar a importância da nutrição em animais hospitalizados, demonstrando os métodos disponíveis e os efeitos benéficos de se intervir nutricionalmente. Palavras-chave: Nutrição. Recuperação. Enteral. Parenteral. AbstractIt is known that today it is very common to find malnourished animals in the hospital environment, because they are no longer accepted by a diet and condition for the success of the patient's recovery and can be neglected. It is important to keep in mind and the effects regarding the increase of morbidity and mortality and the goal of nutrition, through enteral or parenteral, and prevent malnutrition and assist in the patient’s recovery. Protocols should be formulated to define the animal’s caloric need and always follow the animals’ files,being aware  of their daily consumption of food to know when and how to intervene nutritionally. The type of nutrition to be applied will depend on the clinical conditions of each individual and may vary according to the primary disease, clinical signs and possible solutions. The correct thing is to try to cause the minimum stress possible to the animal, always starting with basic nutritional support as a stimulation of appetite, evolving if necessary for an enteral or parenteral nutrition technique. This literature review aims to report the importance of nutrition in hospitalized animals, demonstrating the available methods and the beneficial effects of nutritionally intervening. Keywords: Nutrition.

The Living Wall: Implementing and Interpreting Pedagogical Documentation in Specialized ELCC Settings
Authors: Bjartveit Carolyn , Smey Carston Cathy , Baxtor Joanne , Hart Jennifer , Greenidge Cheryl
Published: July 2019

The program approach in specialized early learning programs may result in adults focusing too intently on therapeutic treatment reports and disabilities and not on the stories children share through play. Observing, listening, and documenting play scripts can shift adults’ focus and make the self of children and their interests visible. Exploring different ways of documenting children’s experiences in specialized educational settingswas the impetus for this paper. The Living Wall—a form of pedagogical documentation—aligns with Ted Aoki’s notion of a “curriculum-as-lived-experience” that honours children and gives them a voice through the collection and interpretation of their artwork, dialogue, and imaginative play scripts.

RARE ENDEMIC DARKLING BEETLE HEDYPHANES NYCTERINOIDES FALDERMANN, 1837 (COLEOPTERA: TENEBRIONIDAE) FROM DAGESTAN AS AN INDICATOR OF HALOPHYTIC BIOTOPES
Authors: Nabozhenko M. V. , Teymurov A. A. , Soltanmuradova Z. I.
Published: July 2019

Aim. In this work, we aimed to study the distribution and habitat of rare Caucasian tenebrionid beetle Hedyphanes nycterinoides, as well as to identify reasons for the population re‐ duction and to develop a basis for its protection.

Methods. Materials from the largest collection of the Zoological Institute RAS (St Petersburg) along with the authors’ fieldwork data were used for mapping the past and current distribution of the species, as well as for studying its habitat and possible trophic relations.

Results. The taxonomic history of H. nycterinoides is complicated due to the loss of the type material. This taxon is currently interpreted as a separate species. H. nycterinoides is distributed across Piedmont Dagestan and Intermountain Dagestan (Russia); however, all known specimens were collected only in the 19th‐20th centuries (the last record is dated 1984). The population of H. nycterinoides from Intermountain Dagestan is likely to have died out due to the filling of the Irganay reservoir in 2008. Only one present‐day population from the arid Rubas valley in Southern Dagestan is known. The species inhabits saline soils (solonetz, solonchak) and feeds on saltworts. It is active in April–May in the evening or in the daytime provided it is cloudy.

Conclusions. We recommend that H. nycterinoides be included in the list of threatened species of Dagestan as an indicator of the state of halophytic plant communities from the hilly landscapes of the Eastern Caucasus. The main factors of the contemporary population reduction include overgrazing and filling of reservoirs.
EFFECT OF NITROGEN AND HUMIC FERTILIZERS ON THE BIOCHEMICAL STATE OF OIL‐CONTAMINATED CHERNOZEM
Authors: Minnikova T. V. , Kolesnikov S. I. , Denisova T. V.
Published: July 2019

Aim. In this paper, we aim to assess the effect of nitrogen and humic fertilizers on the biochemical state of oil‐contaminated chernozem.

Methods. In order to simulate the oil pollu‐ tion, chernozem was exposed to oil doses constituting 1, 5 and 10% of the soil mass for 30, 60 and 90 days. For simulating bioremediation of oil‐contaminated chernozem, the following fertilizers were used: potassium and sodium humates, urea and nitroammophos. Nitrogen fertilizers – urea and nitroammophos having a nitrogen content of 46% and 15%, respectively – were applied to the soil for the purposes of restoring the equilibrium between carbon and nitrogen. Humic fertilizers (potassium and sodium humates) were applied to the soil for stimulating the indigenous oil destructive microbiota. In order to assess the biological activity of the soil, we determined catalase activity, invertase activity, as well as CO2 emission intensity.

Results. The effect of urea, nitroammophos, potassium and sodium humates on the enzymatic activity and CO2 emissions of ordinary chernozem, which had been exposed to various doses of oil (1, 5 and 10% of the soil mass) for 90 days, was studied in a model experiment. Following the introduction of nitroammophos into soil with low levels of oil pollution, catalase activity decreased, whereas respiration and invertase activity increased. Urea introduced into the soil contaminat‐ ed with a 10% dose of oil stimulated catalase activity. At oil concentrations of 1 and 5%, the introduction of potassium and sodium humates had a stimulating effect on enzymic activity and carbon dioxide evolution.

Conclusions. It is advisable to use the intensity of CO2 emissions released from the soil, as well as the invertase activity for diagnosing the state of chernozem con‐ taminated with oil (5‐10%) following the introduction of nitrogen and humic ameliorants. At lower doses of oil, it is advisable to assess the state of the soil following the introduction of nitrogen fertilizers by catalase activity.
SPECIES COMPOSITION AND TERRITORIAL DISTRIBUTION OF BIRDS IN PIEDMONT DAGESTAN
Authors: Vilkov E. V.
Published: July 2019

Aim. The paper summarizes the data on bird counts carried out in 1995–2018 in Piedmont Dagestan. Information on the following points was obtained for the first time: composition of bird species, their average abundance, residence status, faunal‐genetic structure, ecological pattern of the avifauna, as well as the features of territorial distribution of birds in Piedmont Dagestan.

Methods. Bird counts were carried out on routes without limiting the transect width, with further separate recalculation per area according to the average detection ranges for groups. The faunal‐genetic structure was determined using a standard procedure. The ecological classification is based on the original differentiation of birds according to their occurrence in preferred habitats. The obtained data were processed using cluster, factor and correlation analyses.

Results. Of 127 bird species recorded in Piedmont Dagestan, widespread representatives of European, European‐Chinese, Mediterranean, as well as Mongolian fauna predominate, which is associated with the availability of suitable habitats. In the course of cluster analysis, we identified three groups of key areas, reflecting the abundance‐based similarities between bird populations in the studied area. The constructed structural graph illustrates the spatial‐typological organization of the bird population in Piedmont Dagestan. It is established that the development of bird communities in the compared key areas has not only a similar but also distinctive ecological pattern, formed under the influence of such environmental factors as high‐altitude gradient, availability of warmth and water, forest area, rocky outcrops, as well as open areas and man‐made landscapes.

Conclusion. The specific ecological pattern of the avifauna in Piedmont Dagestan was developed due to the contribution of both adapted populations of migratory birds of the plains, nesting in the foothills, and to that of the resident communities of typically mountain birds, whose qualitative and quantitative composition changes under the integrated influence of environmental regulatory factors.
Improving the Control Accuracy of the Strip Plate During Shaped Rolling Using Electric and Hydraulic Drives

Published: July 2019

It is important to reduce the amount of metal waste caused by scrap edge and scrap ends in the process of rolling at plate rolling mills. The influence of the correlation of the elongation ratio during drawing and spreading on the geometric shape of the strip plate was estimated. The paper shows the advantages of rolling process forming a double-cone profile at the head and tail sections. The ASC technology was introduced, which makes use of the multipoint strategy of thickness setting along the strip plate length. The importance of improving the accuracy of automatic control of position of screw-down structures and thickness was established when this strategy is used. The paper shows the structure and characteristics of the thickness automatic control system of the plate mill 5000. The analysis of oscillograph records of the strip plate thickness was carried out during the shaping pass for the current settings of the thickness automatic control system. Some deviations were recorded, which were caused by the lag of the regulating signal with respect to the actual deviation of thickness during displacement of the screw-down structures. To improve the response speed of the thickness automatic control system and to reduce the dynamic lag, a method of thickness control with pre-control was offered. The research group considered the double-circuit thickness automatic control system with the feed forward control of the target signal and established the transfer function of the pre-control channel. The paper demonstrated the structure of the simulation model of interrelated electric systems of a reverse rolling stand providing the opportunity of the joint research of shaped rolling and forming of a bend at the head end of the strip plate. The circuits of individual blocks of the model were considered. Comparative analysis of time curves of the strip plate thickness was carried out for the implementation of the design and the developed control algorithms and the increase in the response speed of the thickness automatic control system was proved. The paper demonstrates the oscillograph records obtained during the implementation of the developed algorithm in the automatic process control system of the reverse stand of the plate mill 5000. As a result of their comparison with the oscillograph records of the designed settings of the thickness automatic control system, it was proved that the accuracy of the thickness control improved. The paper notes that the main technological advantage of implementation of the developed algorithm is improving of the final product quality.
Hybrid Induction Sensing Method for Detection of Underground Cable Lines and Pipelines
Authors: Bryakin Ivan V. , Bochkarev Igor V.
Published: July 2019

The analysis of the principles of searchers construction was carried out. It was found that induction route methods based on measurements of secondary electromagnetic fields, which are created by currents induced in a cable by independent radiating systems using third-party power sources, have received the greatest use. For the implementation of these methods, radiating systems of various types are used, such as frame or vibrator antennas. When building locators, the mutual distribution of the receiving and transmitting coils is of particular importance. The research group considered options for the mutual arrangement of the coils. It was found that when building a track finding equipment, two basic methods of control are widely used: the response method of the electromagnetic field parameters to the internal or surface impedance of the medium when the electromagnetic field propagates in or above the ground, respectively, and the input impedance response method of the receiving frame on the electromagnetic properties of the medium being probed. Based on the features of these two methods, a new hybrid method of induction sounding was proposed, which actually combines these two methods. When implementing this hybrid method, an induction probe (IP), which is an induction transducer of a magnetic field into an electrical signal, contains a receiving ferrite antenna (FA) and a loop antenna (LA), and LA combines the functions of transmitting and receiving antennas. A design variant of an IP with coplanar placement of FA relative to LA, which provides full geometric compensation of the primary field, is proposed.

When IP operates, information is recorded on one information channel from LA (the current value of the amplitude of the exciting current) and on two information channels from the FA (current values of the amplitudes of the voltages of the active and reactive components of the output signal of the FA, respectively). The implementation of such information redundancy significantly increases the information content, efficiency and reliability of the proposed hybrid method.

Published: July 2019

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of direct fed microbial (DFM) supplementation on growth performance, metabolic profile and mortality rate of newborn lambs at different weaning ages. Five days old sixty Najdi male lambs (5.40 ± 0.10 kg BW) were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments (15 lambs each): lambs received either no DFM and weaned at 60 days of age (control) or oral dose of DFM (5 ml) at 5, 10 and 15 days old, and weaned at 30 (DFM30), 45 (DFM45) or 60 (DFM60) days old, respectively. Final body weight was higher (P=0.05) and tended to be higher (P=0.09) in DFM30 and DFM45 lambs, respectively whereas body weight gain was higher (P=0.01) in DFM45 and DFM60 lambs. The mortality rate was declined from 33.3s% to 6.67% in DFM30 and DFM45 lambs compared to control ones. Serum cortisol and creatinine levels tended to be reduced (P=0.07 and 0.11, respectively) in DFM30 and DFM45 lambs. The serum total cholesterol was highest (P=0.02) in DFM60 lambs and lowest in both DFM45 and control lambs. Similarly, the DFM30 and DFM45 lambs showed a declined serum triglyceride compared with control and DFM60 lambs (P=0.02). Serum phosphorus declined (P=0.04) in DFM30 treated lambs while serum zinc and copper levels decreased (P=0.02 and 0.05, respectively) in all treatments compared to control lambs. These results indicated that DFM supplementation may enhance the growth and health of early weaned lambs.

Published: July 2019

The present study was carried out on the seventh, eighth and ninth thoracic vertebrae of six specimens of adult Blue bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus) of either sex. The first, second and third thoracic vertebrae were characterized by long supraspinous process, cylindrical, but shorter centrum. The arch presented shallow notches and was perforated by intervertebral foramina at its caudal aspect. They also presented cranial and caudal facets on their bodies. The length and breadth of supra spinous processes was observed to decrease from T7 to T9. The transverse process was reported to be thick, strong and presented a rounded non-articular mammillary process and a facet ventrally, which in turn articulated with the facet of the tubercle of the corresponding rib. The dorsal suprasinous process presented two surfaces, two borders and a summit. The costal facets were placed on either side at the end of the articular extremities of the centrum. The cranial articular processes were represented by oval facets on the anterior part of the arch and faced upwards, whereas the caudal ones sprang from the base of the dorsal supraspinous process. However, the cranial and caudal articular facets of T8 were human foot print like in Blue bull. The Biometrical observations on different parameters of seventh, eighth and ninth thoracic vertebrae reflected significant (P less than 0.05) differences between the sexes of this species.

Published: July 2019

The present investigation was carried out with the objective to study the productive and reproductive performances of dairy cattle under organic farming systems. Total 24 medium to high yielding cattle has been selected for the study, out of which 12 were reared under organic management system and 12 under conventional management system. For cows maintained under organic management system, the animals were fed ad lib quality green fodder grown organically and limited quantity (1.5 to 2.0 kg/cows/day) of concentrate mixture. Production and reproduction performance of animals of both the groups were compared. The results revealed that the reproductive performance was better in cows maintained under organic production management system than their conventional counterparts. The study on milk quality in terms of composition revealed significantly (P less than 0.05) higher fat % of milk, while lower (P less than 0.05) protein % of milk for the cows maintained under organic system as compared to those under conventional system. It can be concluded that the organic management system of dairy cows can be beneficial as depicted by better reproductive efficiency of cows with higher fat % of the milk.

Published: July 2019

This paper reports the usefulness of a new method for identification of productive and resilient cowpea genotypes. The new indices called as Yield Susceptibility Score Index (YSSI) and Yield Production Score Index (YPSI) are based on a scoring scales, offer simple and easy visualization and identification of genotypes that possess resilience, productivity, both or none. A set of 40 cowpea genotypes was evaluated and stress indices were combined in terms of new indices based on a combination of stress susceptibility index, the stress tolerance index, the mean productivity index and the tolerance index, which have been previously used either in isolation or together for understanding water stress adaptation. This new selection method could help breeders and researchers by defining clear and strong criteria to identify genotypes with high resilience and high productivity and provide a clear visualization of contrasts in terms of grain yield production under stress. The approach is highly useful in initial evaluation of large germplasm sets for identification of resilient and productive cowpea genotypes.
