SOILS OF SMALL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SETTLEMENTS IN THE STEPPE ZONE AS A RESULT OF BRONZE AGE ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACT
Authors: Plekhanova Liudmila
Published: September 2021

"The contemporary direction of natural pedogenesis/soil science is ancient anthropogenic impact and climate fluctuations changes. A large number of settlements in the river valleys are unique objects with a long history of development and modern soil cover formation. We studied the soil between the dwellings for a small settlement Zarya of the Bronze Age. The settlement was part of the economic zone of cattle breeding (horses and cows and sheep) of the large early Bronze Age fortified city Sarym-Sakla, one of the country's Proto-Iranian Cities of the Trans-Ural Plateau. The activity of ancient societies changed the terrestrial ecosystem functioning at macro and microscales. Increased heterogeneity of microrelief forms led to the diversity of soil cover. We found the unusual soil types on microelevations and microdepressions. The enrichment of the cultural layer with phosphorus compounds was revealed, and the hypothesis of the formation of a ""reverse"" ratio of chernozems-solonetzes of the soil cover of the low above-floodplain terrace as a consequence of several stages of ancient anthropogenic pressure and climatic aridization was confirmed in this area. We focused on the determination of organic carbon content, magnetic susceptibility, salt composition, cation exchange capacity, and the distribution of mobile phosphates along the soil profile as possible indicators of ancient anthropogenic influence. The degree of soil properties changes during the anthropogenic impact is commensurate with their transformation in the natural evolution of centuries and even several millennia. Past anthropogenic changes leave a mark in the history of the development of the soil cover predetermining the modern danger of the degradation phenomena. Moreover, we draw parallels in the history of ecosystems formation and outlined tasks for further research."

Published: September 2021

The assessment of the carcinogenic risk of the impact of drinking surface waters on the population health of the transboundary basin of the Selenga river in Mongolia is described in the article. We carried out expeditionary studies of the quality of drinking surface waters on the territory of four aimags, which represent different degrees of economic development and are completely included in the Selenga river basin: Khuvsgul, Arkhangai, Bulgan and Selenge. In this work, we used the methodology used by the US Environmental Protection Agency to quantify the carcinogenic risk of exposure to chemical compounds present in surface waters using the example of these aimags in Mongolia. The application of this methodology for risk assessment gives a great advantage over traditional methods of regulation. It has been established that on the territory of the Selenge aimag, the risk of developing a carcinogenic effect from the impact of priority pollutants on public health associated with the quality of drinking water is high and in the territory of Bulgan, Khuvsgul and Arkhangai aimags are medium, which requires state regulation of the risk and the development of appropriate standards.

Published: September 2021

Data prediction models are essential for estimating extreme environmental changes and predicting anomalies by learning when the actual data is outside previously accepted values. This paper focuses on predicting two years of sea level in the North-Western Black Sea region. Data from the UNESCO/ IOC tsunami observation and Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level archives were analysed using Auto Regression - and Seasonal-Regression Integrated Moving Average models. This work proposes one such model obtained by using modern Machine Learning algorithms, and the results are compared with standard models such as ARIMA obtained for the same data. Using Machine Learning can produce software models ready to run with hardware using much lower specifications than those used for model training which is not the case for standard statistical models. The merged dataset in the analysed period (2006-2016) from the tide gauges along the Romanian Black Sea Coast is consistent and satisfactorily used to develop and validate a Seasonal Regression Integrated Moving Average and Machine Learning model for sea-level forecasts. The data show that the sea level evolution in cyclical changes of the other parameters that influence it. Furthermore, slight demarcation of the two models was observed between the comparison of observed and predicted values

This article has as a starting point the definition of the concept of ecological principles. Then, after classification of the principles of ecology (domestic principles and international principles), we present and critically analyze and compare the main principles in the field of ecology. Among the ecological principles on the domestic chain, we present and analyze 11 principles, namely: pollution must be combated at the source; the interests of environmental protection must be taken into account in all design or execution decisions; any exploitation or use of natural resources must be avoided if it is accompanied by damage; it is necessary to raise the level of scientific and technological knowledge, inter alia by supporting scientific research; the costs of preventing and combating pollution to be borne by the polluter; the activity of one state not to harm the environment of another state; during the elaboration of the community policy in the field of environmental protection to take into account the interests of the developing states; community environmental protection policy must be developed in the long term and protection must be comprehensive and international, which is achieved, inter alia, through cooperation within international bodies; the cause of environmental protection is everyone's responsibility and for this reason education is irreplaceable; depending on the source of pollution, the most appropriate level of action must be established taking into account the nature of the pollution, the necessary measures, the characteristics of the protected territory. This principle is defined as a "subsidiary principle"; it is necessary to harmonize and coordinate national policy in the field of environmental protection in accordance with the long-term commonly accepted directives. We also present and analyze the principle according to which environmental protection must be an essential element of the economic and social policy of the state. Finally, another ecological principle, the principle of prevention of ecological risks and damage

Published: September 2021

"At the modern stage of the development of Geosciences, the study of hydrothermodynamic and ecological processes occurring in the natural environment (sea, atmosphere, soil), their monitoring and forecasting become very relevant and are a necessary condition for sustainable development of society. The Caucasus region is one of the most difficult regions of the world from the point of view its physical and geographical features. These features include the Black and Caspian Seas and the complex terrain of the Caucasus. The Seas and the atmosphere are unified hydrodynamic systems, between subsystems of which processes of an exchange of energies, momentum and substances continuously take place. One of the most effective ways to study natural and environmental processes is methods of mathematical modeling, which allows reproducing these processes and phenomena and studying the quantitative contribution of various factors to the development of such processes. The purpose of the paper is to discuss the models of the Black Sea and atmospheric dynamics developed at M. Nodia Institute of Geophysics of I. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, and some results of their implementation. The model of the Black Sea dynamics is based on a full system of ocean hydro-thermodynamics equations. Its high-resolution version, which is nested in the basin-scale model of the Black Sea dynamics of Marine Hydrophysical Institute (MHI, Sevastopol), is used to forecast main hydrophysical fields for the easternmost part of the Black Sea. The model of the atmospheric dynamics is based on a full system of atmospheric hydro-thermodynamics equations in hydrostatic approximation written in the terrain-following coordinate system and is realized for the extended territory including the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea and Black and Caspian seas and for the Caucasus region. These models, after some modification will form the basis of the coupled Black Sea-atmosphere limited-area modeling system."

The objective of this study is the rational management of forest ecosystems for sustainable conservation of floristic biodiversity. Two types of analysis are carried out: structural analysis and analysis of the main species. A total of 22 families were identified, divided among 32 species. The dominant woody species are Quercus suber and Quercus canariensis. Fagaceae is the most represented family. The average values of species richness and Shannon diversity index are 4 ± 1.8 and 0.9 ± 0.30 species/plot respectively. The average density of woody species in the Oueld Bechih forest was 158 ± 28 tree/ha with an average basal area of 32.67 ± 0.74m²/ha. The height structure shows that trees in height classes is ≥ 6 has very high density, evidence of almost no natural regeneration. The total structure indicates that larger trees are more abundant. In effect, this work provides a database for the forest, but it represents only one facet to be considered in protecting and restoring it.

Published: September 2021

"Intensive human economic activity has led to decrese in the natural resource potential of territories and qualitative changes in the natural environment surrounding a person: a violation of the spatial and functional structure of natural systems, a decrease in the biological diversity of flora and fauna, a deterioration in the quality of water and land resources, a decrease in the ecological and economic sustainability of technical and natural systems and the quality of human life. Ensuring the sustainable functioning and development of territories is possible due to the complex arrangement of the territory (scientific organisation of the territory). It is the optimisation of the land using structure that will restore disturbed ecosystems to standard values, increase biological diversity, environmental sustainability and economic efficiency of landscapes. One of the limiting factors in the implementation of this measure is the lack of an effective mechanism for assessing the effectiveness of investments in land development. All this indicates the need to develop proposals for the development of methodological approaches to assessing the environmental and economic efficiency of investments in land development, taking into account the shortcomings that we identified when analyzing existing approaches to assessing the effectiveness of investment projects of social significance. At the same time, it should be noted that ensuring sustainable development of territories is impossible with the existing nature-intensive concept of economic development. A new approach to solving this problem is needed, which should: • be based on a deep study of socio-economic and environmental problems, a retrospective analysis of the state of landscapes and a long-term forecast of the expected consequences of the impact of human activity on the state of individual components of the considered territory and the landscape as a whole; • it aims to ensure the socio-economic and environmental safety of Russia. The рurpose is to develop proposals for the development of a methodological approach to assessing the environmental and economic efficiency of investments in the integrated development of territories which are aimed at ensuring the socio-economic and environmental security of Russia."
GLOBAL TRENDS IN BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERS
Authors: Usachev Ivan , Solomin Dmitry
Published: September 2021

Recently, the rapid and almost uncontrollable growth in the consumption of synthetic plastics in many sectors of the economy, especially in the field of packaging, has been a serious concern. Plastic containers are used for packaging food products, medicines, electronic devices, liquids, including those with a higher hazard class, etc. [1]. According to the German Nova-Institute, the global plastic production in 2020 has reached almost 400 Mill. Tons. At the same time, the volume of biodegradable plastics obtained from renewable resources amounted to only 3.5 million tons, i.e., about 1% of the total volume production [2]. Considering that only 25% of plastic waste is recycled, the growing consumption of polymer products is forcing manufacturers to develop biodegradable polymer compositions [3]. The problem has economic and environmental aspects since it is interconnected with the growing need to protect the environment and reduce the cost of raw materials for the production of various products.

Published: September 2021

There are more than 14 amusement parks in Latvia, located in different areas. Latvia's amusement parks have been little studied and there is not much information about their importance in the regional economy, as well as the contribution to the tourism and business sector. These are places that are widely used by tourists, often related to the regional business environment, as there are shops and hotels nearby, as well as other types of service that visitors need. Latvian amusement parks can be divided into three groups: terrestrial, water and technical scientific amusement parks. Many of them are located near cities, for example, amusement park "Lemberga Hute" near Ventspils, city by the Baltic Sea with 38059 residents in 2019 (according to PMLP data), "Livu water amusement park" located in Jurmala, which is a city with 56696 thousand residents 2020 (according to PMLP data). One of the determining factors of the development of amusement parks is the growth of cities and their adjacent territories, which enables them to form both in terms of infrastructure and population growth. Regional economic indicators are an important factor for regional growth.

Published: September 2021

In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis worldwide on the quality of the environment, especially with an orientation towards the application of renewable energy sources. In addition, we are increasingly encountering experimentation aimed at obtaining new green energy sources. One of such sources is biomass. Biomass has been used since the middle ages as a source of heat and light energy. Today, however, we have technologies that allow us to obtain not only heat but also electricity from biomass, or to convert biomass into materials with high energy density and purity. The energy thus transformed can then be used, for example, as a propellant. At the same time, this valuable source of clean energy can be easily transported to the place of consumption. By applying biomass as a source of green energy, we can make a significant contribution to relieving the environment from harmful effects. In recent years, an increased interest in energy obtained from biomass can be observed in Slovakia. Its technical potential is the greatest among other renewable energy sources, and its non-use would essentially be wastage. Therefore, the aim of the paper was to describe two possibilities of transformation of biomass in the form of its energy recovery into the type of energy used for the production of mechanical, thermal and electrical energy. At the same time, in addition to obtaining a suitable form of energy from biomass, another environmental benefit was sought in the form of soil decontamination. In this regard, there is an energetically important crop, which is known under the Latin name Amaranthus caudatus. It is an energy crop that can be grown on slightly contaminated soil with some restrictions. Two methods of energy recovery of this crop were compared. In the first case it was its compaction into briquettes, in the second case it was a process of anaerobic fermentation with subsequent production of biogas. Based on the performed analysis, it was found that these are almost equivalent energy sources. Although both methods of transformation and energy recovery of the green part of Amaranthus caudatus crops have a number of advantages and disadvantages, it can be clearly stated that the positives significantly outweigh the negatives. Therefore, it is recommended to apply this crop as a valuable source of energy for use in real conditions.

Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is an autosomal dominant disorder and a heterogeneous familial condition in which family members express absence seizures initially and then show multiple phenotypes of myoclonic epilepsy, including partial or absence seizures and generalized tonic conic seizures. Multiple types of genetic mutations are involved in epilespy. This study was aimed at investigating the coding regions of CACNA1H gene for analyzing the mutations involved in epilepsy. Blood samples of mutually unrelated true representatives of CAE were collected from the psychiatry department of various hospitals in Lahore. DNA was extracted using the standard protocol and the amplification of the CACNA1H region was achieved with specially designed primers. Later on, the analysis of the results was carried out via the sequencing of target fragments. Sequences were analyzed using the BioEdit software and then aligned with the help of the ClustalW2 software. A series of 12 unrelated patients with CAE were screened for mutations in the CACNA1H gene. No mutation was found in exon 9a. As already reported, mutations in the exonic sequence of CACNA1H gene were found in 5 out of 14 CAE patients. These changes were observed in a PCR fragment amplified by primer 2 in the region of the 9th exon. Subsequent analysis of these fragments identified transition mutations (2025G>A) in exon 9. To conclude, there is a need to explore the site of the gene along with other gene mutations causing epilepsy in the local population of Punjab, Pakistan. It will help to develop genetic counseling strategies, gene therapies, and prenatal diagnostic procedures for the said population.

Les substances psychoactives, aussi appelées substances psychotropes, sont des produits qui ont la capacité de promouvoir des stimuli ou des changements sensoriels, influençant les émotions et le niveau de conscience de ceux qui les utilisent. L’objectif de cette étude était d’analyser l’utilisation de substances psychoactives chez les étudiants en médecine de l’Université fédérale d’Amapá (UNIFAP) en 2018. Une étude transversale quantitative et qualitative a été menée, qui a utilisé un échantillon non probabiliste de commodité des étudiants universitaires. Dans cette université, parmi les étudiants en médecine, il a été noté que l’utilisation de psychotropes se produit principalement en raison de la consommation d’alcool et d’analgésiques. Dans le contexte médical, en raison de l’accès facilité aux médicaments d’ordonnance, leur utilisation est beaucoup plus large dans ce public de professionnels et d’universitaires, et l’utilisation de ces substances est parfois cachée et il est difficile de parler et de demander de l’aide.

The activity of the antioxidant protection enzymatic system of boars with a decrease in their reproductive capacity under oxidative stress
Authors: Koshevoy V. I. , Naumenko S. V.
Published: September 2021

It was found that enzymatic system activity of the antioxidant protection of the breeding boars organism with a decrease in their reproductive ability under oxidative stress was significantly decreased, which was noted by a decrease in the antioxidant capacity. Males of the experimental group had a decrease in superoxide dismutase activity by 30,2% (p ˂ 0,01). At the same time, in the erythrocytes of breeding boars, catalase activity was reduced by 33,9% (p ˂ 0,001) compared with the indicators of the control group animals, due to the high sensitivity to nitric oxide, the content of which was significantly increased during oxidative stress; interacting with nitric oxide, a suppressed form of catalase – ferricatalase-NO was formed. A decrease in the activity of these enzymes is characteristic of the oxidative stress development – which is due to the high level of peroxidation processes in the body of breeding boars. With a decrease in the activity of glutathione system components, an imbalance of the prooxidant-antioxidant system was noted. According to the research results, a decrease in the activity of the glutathione redox cycle enzymes – glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase was noted, which in boars with a decrease of reproductive ability were also reduced, and this also confirmed the state of oxidative stress. Thus, boars of the experimental group had a pronounced decrease in glutathione peroxidase activity by 28,4% (p ˂ 0,05), while the activity of glutathione reductase in erythrocytes was significantly reduced by 20,2% (p ˂ 0,05). The lack of physiological activity of antioxidant enzymes will have a negative impact on the fertilizing ability of sperm, because the lack of components of the enzymatic antioxidant defence system affects the activity of enzymes in sperm received from the breeding boars. A balance was observed between the components of the enzymatic antioxidant defense: the ratio of antioxidant enzymes’ activity in the male experimental group was lower than the values in the control group, however, the indices of superoxide dismutase/catalase and glutathione peroxidase/glutathione reductase had the same values, indicating that the balance in the enzymatic system of antioxidant defense was maintained. A decrease in enzyme indices in the experimental group indicated a decrease in the antioxidant potential and confirmed a certain state of oxidative stress in the breeding boars organism.

To study the seroprevalence of Lawsonia intracellularis among the pig livestock of Ukraine. The research was conducted in the laboratories of the Institute of Veterinary Medicine of NAAS and in pig farms. Were studied 653 samples of pigs’ serum of different age groups from17 pig farms with breeding stock of 40 456 sows. To study seroprevalence was used a test system for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on monoclonal antibodies bioScreen Ileitis Antibody Test ELISA Svanovir®Lawsonia intracellularis (Boehringer Ingelheim Svanova). Serological tests have provided evidence that the pathogen was circulating in the herd. According to the research results, 46.4% of seropositive animals were found. Seropositive pigs were found in all studied farms, namely – among sows – 74.0%, replacement gilts – 79.6%, growing pigs – 2.5% and fattening pigs – 59.8%. The high level of seroprevalence among replacement gilts and sows of the 1st farrowing indicates the circulation of the pathogen in the herd, as well as the manifestation of morbidity in the fattening group, where was the highest rate of positive serum samples. From the 17 examined farms, only one farm was found where no seropositive animals were detected. According to our observations, proliferative enteropathy in pigs of Ukrainian pig farms has signs of chronic course, especially it is common in pig farms that import replacement gilts from abroad, where antibiotics are prohibited or restricted in donor farms. The results of serological tests allowed us to reconfirm that the spread of the disease is increasing in Ukrainian pig farms. Compared to 2015, the percentage of seropositive animals increased by almost 10%. The typical serological profile for Lawsonia intracellularis which is characteristic of our studied farms allowed us to conclude for which age groups of pigs and for which technological period of raising swine it is necessary to develop and implement measures for treatment and disease prevention. To control the disease, it is highly recommended to conduct constant monitoring of the farm’s well-being against ileitis (send, in addition to faecal samples for PCR testing, also serum for ELISA testing).
Dairy productivity of mixed-aged Holstein cows with prolonged lactation function
Authors: Gutsulyak G. S.
Published: September 2021

Presented study results of the productivity of mixed-aged cows with prolonged lactation. The formation of experimental groups was carried out according to the principle of analog groups, taking into account breed, live weight, age and physiological condition (lactation):25 animals in groups I, II, III and IV and 10 animals in group V. It was found that with the industrial technology of Holstein cows exploitation, regardless of their age, the duration of the lactation period was almost twice as long as the scientifically substantiated value and ranges from 561.2 to 610.9 days. At the same time, the milk productivity level of the cows in I and IV groups slightly exceeded 13 000 kg of milk per lactation, while in cows if II, III (control), and V groups – this value was higher than 15 000 kg. With prolonged lactation, the milk yield in the experimental groups of animals in terms of 305 days was kept at a fairly high level and there was a definite tendency to an increase in milk yield depending on the age of the animals. The first-calf heifers of group I were characterized by a relatively low milk yield since they gave only 13 291.8 kg of milk for the entire lactation, and in terms of 305 days – 7 944.1 kg, which was 13.57% and compared to III (control) group was 19.54% lower (P < 0.01). Animals of the fifth lactation from group V had the highest milk yield, in which the milk yield per lactation and per 305 days amounted to 15 818.5 kg and 9 716.7 kg of milk, respectively. With intensive exploitation technology and with the increasing age of Holstein cows, complete adaptation occurs, as a result of which their genetic potential for milk production is realized at a high level. This was indicated by the milk yield dynamics in experimental animals of different ages, in which, under the same conditions of feeding and housing, they were gradually increased from the first to the fifth lactation.

One of the key issues in solving the problem of mastitis is the therapy efficacy. It is important to find such treatments for animals that, along with pronounced antibacterial and other therapeutic properties, have no negative effects. Therefore, the aim of the work was to develop a method for treating goats with mastitis using ozonized materials – highly effective, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective drugs that have a positive effect on animal’s body and have no side effects. The treatment was carried out with a targeted program motivated by the principle of drug action. The item of the program «Antibiotic therapy» has been replaced by the use of ozone-containing preparations «OKO» (ozonated corn oil) and «Prozon» (ozonated corn oil + alcohol solution of propolis). It was found that for the treatment of goats using «Мastilex», the effectiveness of the therapy was 86.7%, its duration was 5.2 days, and the cost per animal was 55.38 UAH. When using «OKO» treatment efficacy was at the same level – 86.7%, its duration - longer by 0.4 days, and the cost of treating one animal was lower by 31.88 UAH. The use of «Prozon» made it possible to obtain a higher efficiency of treatment – 93.3%, to reduce its duration by 0.6 days and the cost per animal – by 31.3 UAH. The use of «Prozon» with ultraphonophoresis, provided a high therapeutic effect – at the level of 93.3%, a decrease in the duration of treatment – up to 3.7 days and the cost of treating one animal – up to 25.18 UAH. Thus, ozone therapy is becoming increasingly common in veterinary practice, including reproductive pathologies and, in particular, for the treatment of animals with mastitis. Ozone does not affect the quality of livestock products and therefore is safe for humans. Hence, the use of ozone makes it possible to replace antibiotics in the treatment plan of goats with mastitis without reducing the therapeutic and cost-effectiveness and can be recommended for practice.

The four levels of data analytics techniques (descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and perspective) were used as a methodology. We also used data mining techniques to predict Gynecologic cancer before any lab test or surgical intervention. Influencing and associating between factors are used to cover hidden relationships or unknown patterns. We focused on three types of Gynecologic cancer (cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancer). We collected an initial examination of 513 (228 benign and 285 malignant) patients from King Abdulaziz University Hospital (Saudi Arabia). Data were collected during the period of 16 years (2000-2016). After examining many models, we found that the classification trees C5 and CHAID beside the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm give the highest accuracy, with the values of 87.33 %, 79.53%, and 78.36 % respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were found to be 86.18 % and 89.00 % for C5. The corresponding values for CHAID were found to be to equals to 82.20 % and 76.72 % while for support vector machine (SVM) the values were found to be 83.74 % and 77.10 %.

Pragmatists believe that philosophical inquiry must engage closely with practice in order to be useful, and that practice serves as a source of social norms. As a growing alternative to the analytic and continental philosophical traditions, pragmatism is well suited for research in business ethics, but its role remains underappreciated. This article focuses on Richard Rorty, a key figure in the pragmatist tradition. We read Rorty as a source of insight about the ethical and political nature of business practice in contemporary global markets, focusing specifically on his views about moral sentiments, agency, and democratic deliberation. Importantly for business ethicists, Rorty’s approach sets in stark relief our moral responsibility as useful, practical thinkers in addressing the societal challenges of our time. We use “modern slavery” as an empirical context to highlight the relevance of Rorty’s approach to business ethics.

The state is obliged to strive for the realization of justice for traditional fishing communities. Traditional communities are fishing communities whose traditional rights are still recognized in carrying out fishing activities or other legal activities in certain areas located in archipelagic waters following the international law of the sea. Coastal space areas and small islands that indigenous/traditional communities have managed from the obligation to have location permits and management take national interests and laws and regulations into account. Article 26 A of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2014 makes it easy for outsiders to control small islands that regulate the use of small islands and surrounding coasts through investment forms based on a ministerial permit that must prioritize the national interest. Positive law must protect traditional fishing communities and indigenous peoples. This research aims to analyze the regulation of fishermen’s protection from deprivation of their rights in earning a living and livelihood. The research method used is normative research, meaning the implementation of legal provisions in the form of legislation in activities for certain legal events in the community, especially the fishing community. Normative research refers to and examines laws and regulations related to the research being conducted. The research locations cover coastal areas throughout Indonesia, especially Banda Aceh, Padang, Jakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, Manado, Kupang, Ternate, and Mataram. The state can provide knowledge, guidance, and protection for fishermen from various actions of deprivation of their rights to earn a living and protection such as piracy, the practice of fishing theft, abuse of trawling, transshipment activities, threats, and violence by foreign parties to Indonesian fishers. The central government and local governments are obliged to provide facilities for guaranteeing fishing areas or fishing coverage areas that are safe and do not overlap with other fields.

Hypnotherapy as a treatment for pain in patients with post-cesarean delivery pain Background: The (22%) of secsio cesaria occurred at age 35-49 years, (19%) first delivery, (19%), living in urban areas (23%), highly educated and (32%) in the top wealth quintile of 7% done in a planned manner (SC selective). Secsio cesaria (SC) causes pain and various problems. The hypnotherapy process can reduce pain because of modulation or strengthening of impulses from weak impulses / weak stimuli which are then strengthened so that they can immediately reach the brain and are immediately felt as well. Give a response so that post partum where the intensity of the pain experienced can adapt.Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of hypnotherapy as a treatment for pain in patients with post-cesarean delivery painMethod: A quasi-experimental by pretest and posttest approach, the sample divided into 2 groups, intervention and control, each of which was 15 samples. The pain evaluation by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).Results: There was a significant difference in both groups with p-value of p = 0.000, this shows that there is a significant effectiveness of hypnotherapy as a treatment for pain in patients with post-cesarean delivery painConclusion: Finding that the effectiveness of hypnotherapy as a pain treatment in patients with post-cesarean labor pain at Tk.II Pelamonia Hospital.Keywords: Hypnotherapy; Treatment; Patients; Post-cesarean; Delivery painPendahuluan : Persentase bedah caesar paling banyak terjadi umur 35-49 tahun (22%), kelahiran pertama (19%), tinggal di perkotaan (23%), berpendidikan tinggi dan berada pada kuintil kekayaan teratas (masing-masing 32%), dan sebesar 7% persalinan di laksanakan secara terencana (SC selektif). Tindakan secsio cesaria (SC) menyebabkan nyeri yang menimbulkan berbagai masalah. Proses hipnoterapi dapat mengurangi nyeri karena adanya modulasi atau penguatan impuls dari impuls yang lemah/rangsangan yang lemah kemudian diperkuat agar dapat segera sampai kedalam otak dan segera dipersepsikan untuk segara pula tersebut senantiasa dilakukan dengan memberikan respon agar ibu post partum dimana intensitas nyeri yang di alami dapat beradaptasi.Tujuan : Untuk mengetahui efektifitas pemberian hypnoterapi terhadap penurunan respon nyeri ibu post seksio sesareaMetode :Penelitian Quasi Eksperimen pendekatan pretes dan post tes sampel dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok yaitu intervensi dan control masing-masing 15 sampel jadi total sampel sebanyak 30 partisipan.

Railway system as part of the general transportation system is a strategic element that supports the economy and the society. Its role is continuously rising with rapid industrialization, urbanization, and changes in the society expectations regarding sustainable systems. New and emerging technologies call and permit the augmentation of the railway systems’ disaster management. This paper deals with the development of an improved response management concept related to railways’ damage, caused by earthquakes. The paper synthetizes the latest technologies, engineering, and management methods in one improved response management system. After the concept inspiration, the paper describes the applicable novel models and introduces an improved response management being developed for railway systems, damaged by earthquakes. The concept is verified in simulation. The novelty includes a new approach in the identification of the critical infrastructure, the risk assessment, the prediction of aftershocks and the recursive application of the adaptive Markov process to the simulation supporting the response management concept.

Storage is a factor that can affect seed quality as a function of latent damages. The losses that most contribute to the reduction in germination and vigor during storage are those caused by humidity, mechanical and temperature-related, that may interfere with seed quality throughout storage. The aim of this study was evaluating the physiological quality of maize seeds produced in two environments and classified in different formats compared to storage periods. The experiment was carried out in the 2016 harvest in two cultivation environments: Entre-Ijuís, RS and Pelotas, RS. Seeds were stratified by thickness through sieves with oblong holes and stratified into small round, large round, small flat and large flat. Growing environments influence the physiological characteristics of maize seeds. The flat and large format seeds have superior physiological quality for the measured physiological characters. The small and round seeds present lower values for germination, first germination count, emergence speed index, shoot dry matter of emergence seedlings and shoot dry matter of germination seedlings. Corn seeds when stored under controlled conditions remain for long periods without causing decreases in physiological quality.

Most companies in today's competitive and globalized business environment understand the importance of customer orientation. Customer orientation is mainly related to customer well-being. Research has shown that customer orientation leads to better financial performance and higher market share. The aim of this research has been to investigate the effect of service climate and personality traits on customer-oriented behavior. The standard questionnaire of Mechinda and Patterson (2011) has been used to measure the research variables. The population of the research consists of the employees of Ardabil Gas Company, which is equal to 161 subjects. Owing to the limited population, no sampling method was used and all employees were investigated. Data analysis was carried out using structural equation modeling and PLS software. The results showed that personality traits such as conscientiousness, agreeableness, extroversion and emotional stability, employees' perceived service climate, and job satisfaction have had a positive impact on customer-oriented behavior. Moreover, service climate had a mediating role in the relationship between personality traits and customer-oriented behavior.
