EVALUATION OF VACCINATION EFFECT ON COW MILK QUALITY
Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, IVANOV E.V.
Published: January 2025

Producing high quality cow milk is a priority for agricultural enterprises. Mastitis has a major impact on milk quality due to the increased somatic cell count in milk and the bacterial contamination of milk with microorganisms. To solve this problem, an experiment was carried out to study the effect of vaccinating cows on the incidence of their mastitis and on the somatic cell count in the milk. During the study period, it was found that the cows in the experimental group (vaccinated animals) had 6.1 times less mastitis than the control group (unvaccinated animals). In the experimental group, the number of sick animals varied slightly over the months of the study, ranging from 14.1% to 17.5%. In the control group, this indicator was 4.7, 7.0 and 6.8 times higher in the first, second to third and fourth to sixth months of the study, respectively. The number of cows with subclinical mastitis in the control group was 5.0, 5.7 and 5.6 times higher than in the experimental group during the same study periods. The cows in the experimental group also developed clinical mastitis less frequently – 4.1, 10.1 and 9.1 times, respectively. The highest average somatic cell count in the milk of the cows of the experimental group was recorded in the first month after calving – 240 thousand cells/cm3. In the following months this indicator was lower ranging from 200 thousand cells/cm3 to 210 thousand cells/cm3. Individually, the somatic cell count of cows in the experimental group did not exceed the norm (up to 400 thousand cells/cm3). In the control group, this indicator was higher, ranging from 520 thousand cells/cm3 to 600 thousand cells/cm3, and the somatic cell data varied greatly, with a peak in the fourth month of the study. Thus, vaccination helps to reduce the incidence of mastitis in the animals and the somatic cell count in the milk, which has a positive effect on its quality.
AGE-RELATED PROLIFICACY DYNAMICS IN MINI-PIGS OF ICIG SB RAS AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH THE WHITE COAT COLOR
Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, NIKITIN S.V.
Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of the prolificacy dynamics analysis (the number of newborn piglets per litter) in the mini-pig breeding group of ICiG SB RAS. It is shown that the form of agerelated dynamics of this trait in mini-pigs differs significantly from that described earlier in the Kemerovo breed. In the latter it has the shape of a parabola, in the former it has two consecutive rectilinear segments. The comparison of prolificacy of white (genotype I/…) and non-white (genotype i/i) mini-pigs of ICiG SB RAS showed a statistically significant superiority of the average values of the trait in sows with genotype I/…, as well as the difference in the age-related dynamics in the compared groups. The difference in the mean prolificacy between carriers of the dominant allele I of the epistatic white coat color and homozygotes for the recessive ‘non-white’ allele i is comparable to the difference in this trait between multi- and medium-fertile breeds of European domestic pigs. The age-related prolificacy dynamics show that the high value of the trait in white mini-pigs is due to the longer period of of reproductive potential development. In nonwhite mini-pigs it lasts from the 1st to the 3rd farrow, in white pigs from the 1st to the 4th farrow. A comparison of the reciprocal crosses of white sows with non-white boars and non-white sows with white boars showed that the average prolificacy of the first type of cross was significantly higher than that of the second type. The obtained result suggests that the higher prolificacy of white sows of mini-pigs of ICiG SB RAS is due to the characteristics of their own organism, and is not related to the prenatal viability of the offspring.

Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, TRUSOV N.A.
Published: January 2025

Many plants that are potential producers of medicinal substances, including antitumor substances, are used in landscaping. Taxus L. is one of the such plants. Their fructifications are not only medicinal, but also edible. The aim of the article is to identify of the most promising species of yews for accumulation of dry matter in arils and seeds, as the medicinal and food plants, in the conditions of Moscow region. Morphology-anatomical structure of fructifications of three yew species was studied: T. baccata, T. × media and T. canadensis, their size-weight characteristics and dry matter content were revealed. The fructifications of the studied species are morphologically similar to each other. The fructifications, arils and seeds of T. × media and T. baccata are larger than those of T. canadensis, have a high mass and air-dry matter content. The total dry matter content in fructifications of T. baccata is 32%, in T. × media – 35%, in T. canadensis – 63%; seeds account for 7%, 8% and 45%, respectively, and arils – 25%, 27% and 18%. Based on the dry matter content of fructifications and/or seeds, T. canadensis seems to be more promising among the species studied. If edible aril is considered as a part of the fructification that is promising for food use, T. baccata and T. × media may be favoured.

Published: January 2025

The article is dedicated to the scientific and pedagogical activity of the outstanding Russian botanist, popularizer of science, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor Oleg A. Korovkin, one of the founders of the Morphological School of the Timiryazev Academy. A brief biography of the scientist is given, his contribution to Russian and world science is reflected. For many years, the scientific interests of O.A. Korovkin have been related to the study of the morphogenesis of vegetative organs of flowering plants, including the ontogenesis of stoloniferous herbaceous polycarpic plants. Based on the studies, Professor Korovkin O.A. concluded that the structural unit of the shoot system of stoloniferous plants is a highly specialized shoot of vegetative reproduction. Based on the biological features of clone-forming individuals, Korovkin O.A. was the first to distinguish three types of clones in stoloniferous herbaceous polycarpic plants, the understanding of the structure of which helps modern researchers to study the ontogenesis of economically valuable stoloniforming geophytes and hemicryptophytes in more detail. Numerous scientific works of Professor Korovkin O.A. allow not only to get closer to the understanding of large and small life cycles of plants, but also to reveal the causes of the degeneration of herbaceous stoloniforming polycarpics.

GROWTH MODEL FORECASTING THE PRODUCTIVITY OF TRITICUM AESTIVUM L. LUBAVA ON THE BACKGROUND OF PRE-SOWING SEED TREATMENT AND FOLIAR NUTRITION WITH THE PREPARATION ECOBIOSPHERE B
Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, VINOGRADOVA V.S.
Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of the development of growth models forecasting the yield of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Lubava based on the value of empirical sowing parameters obtained in the early stages of plant development, the predicted thermal resources of the growing season of the current year and the efficiency coefficients of the preparation Ecobiosphere B in the experimental field of the Kostroma State Agricultural Academy (Kostroma District, Kostroma Region). It was found that the humic complex Ecobiosphere B influenced the development of T. aestivum L. Lubava, shortening the interphase period in the middle of the growing season by seven days in comparison with the control (untreated) plants. The heat capacity of the phenological development phases was calculated, which made it possible to predict the calendar dates of the phenological development phases, from the sowing date to harvest maturity, based on the forecast of the heat resource for the current year. Simulation-dynamic growth models of seasonal prediction of phytometric parameters, adjusted to the efficiency of consumption rate and frequency of application of the humic complex Ecobiosphere B as a regulator of growth and development, worked with the following accuracy: 0.5 L/t seed + 0.5 L/ha in the tillering phase of Ecobiosphere B: plant height – 98.32%, mass of phytoorgans at 13% humidity: ground active phytomass – 95.1%, leaves – 83.54%, stem – 91.08%, ear elements – 87.23%, fruits – 98.24%; 1.0 L/t seed + 1.0 L/ha in the tillering phase of Ecobiosphere B: plant height – 98.47%, mass of phytoorgans at 13% humidity: ground active phytomass – 87.5%, leaves – 64 .57%, stem – 85.46%, ear elements – 61.09%, fruits – 96.11%. The models will provide the ability to predict plant productivity and yield of T. aestivum L. The models will make it possible to predict plant productivity and yield of T. aestivum L. Lubava under production conditions at least 80–90 days before harvest maturity and, if necessary, to adjust the cultivation technology during the growing season in order to increase the economic efficiency of production.
Caretta caretta Embryo Development and Nest Success Rate Study
Authors: Koroma Isaak , Vella Adriana
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the nesting of Caretta caretta in the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean), focusing on embryo development, nest success rates, and the impact of anthropogenic activities. Ten Loggerhead turtle nests discovered between 2020 and 2023 were assessed. Clutch sizes (Mean 85 eggs and St.Dev. ± 14) and nest success rates (Mean 59% and St.Dev. ± 26.7) in these islands were found to be comparable to those in Sicily and Libya, but lower than those in Greece. Clutch sizes may be affected by anthropogenic disturbance where some female turtles seek different nest sites to lay their eggs. The variation in success rates may be attributed to various factors including temperature, heavy rainfall and anthropogenic disturbance. Unhatched embryos were often in the final stages of development when excavated 2 days after first emerging nestlings, underscoring the importance of waiting at least ten days after the first emergence of hatchlings before excavating nests to avoid dis-turbing potentially viable developing eggs. Morphometric comparative analysis of body-part ratios of remaining dead nestlings revealed various statistically significant differences among specimens from different nests derived from different parents, while no differences were observed among specimens from nests produced by the same parents, as discovered by separate genetic studies. This research highlights the critical need for increased turtle nest research and management to improve the reproduc-tive success and conservation of Caretta caretta.

The aim of the work is to experimentally confirm the correctness of the developed mathematical model of FOG noise with a noise suppression scheme. A computer stochastic model was developed in the Octave environment and a model of the FOG with a noise reduction system was designed and manufactured. The analytical and computer models were tested for different values of the FOG parameters; the discrepancy in the modeling results was no more than 10%. The models were verified by comparing the simulation results with the prototyping results. The Allan deviation method has shown that adding a noise suppression system results in a nearly two-fold reduction in output signal noise. The results of the modeling and the natural experiment differ by no more than 10%, which indicates a high level of adequacy of the models. The noise reduction coefficient obtained in practice agrees well with the theoretical estimate, which indicates complete suppression of excess noise from the optical radiation source.
Acute effects of 150 mg caffeine on subjective, physiological, and behavioral components of anxiety in panic disorder and healthy controls: a randomized placebo controlled crossover trial
Authors: Hoppe Johanna M , Björkstrand Johannes , Vegelius Johan , Klevebrant Lisa , Gingnell Malin , Frick Andreas
Published: January 2025

Caffeine in doses above 400 mg, equivalent to 4 cups of coffee, induces panic attacks in 50% of individuals with panic disorder (PD) and elevates anxiety, but it is still not known how individuals with PD respond to normally consumed doses or how caffeine interacts with emotional tasks. We hypothesized that 150 mg caffeine would increase subjective anxiety (primary outcome) as well as interoceptive attention and anxiety from bodily signals in patients with PD, and more so than in healthy controls (HC). Additional analyses targeted panic attacks, emotional reactivity, avoidance behavior, and subjective exteroceptive attention. Twenty-nine patients with PD and 53 HC with low habitual caffeine consumption (≤300 mg/week) abstained from caffeine 36 h before receiving 150 mg caffeine or placebo in a double-blind randomized crossover design 2-14 days apart. Contrary to our hypotheses, caffeine did not increase subjective anxiety, interoceptive attention, or anxiety from interoceptive signals in any of the groups. Only one panic attack was noted, in the PD group after caffeine intake during the emotional reactivity task. In both PD and HC caffeine increased skin conductance responses to neutral and emotional faces, augmented costly avoidance behavior, and impaired exteroceptive attention. These results indicate that low caffeine doses do not have differential anxiogenic effects in patients with PD and HC at rest, and that they increase arousal and avoidance behavior in both patients and healthy individuals. In conclusion, we suggest that recommendations for caffeine abstinence for patients with PD should be based on higher doses and ideally on individual assessments.
Nexus between Financial Development and Economic Prosperity in Selected Countries of Emerging and Developing Asia
Authors: Budhathoki Prem Bahadur , Bhattarai Ganesh , Dahal Arjun Kumar
Published: January 2025

Background: The link between financial development and economic growth remains debated in theoretical and empirical research. This research focuses on developing and emerging Asian nations to determine the impact of financial development on economic growth.
Methods: This study took a sample of six member countries from SAARC and BIMSTEC, covering the period from 1990 to 2021, resulting in 192 observations. It employs a descriptive and correlation matrix to examine the distribution and association between predictor and response variables. This study tests the "Finance-led growth theory" using FMOLS and DOLS estimators.
Results: The findings indicate a significant positive effect of financial development on economic growth, assessed through two measures: financial institution development and financial market development. Foreign direct investment has a positive effect on economic growth. In contrast, age dependency, "young," has an adverse and noteworthy impact on economic prosperity. Similarly, export and personal remittance have an unfavorable yet negligible effect on economic growth.
Conclusion: Financial institutions and financial market development positively and significantly affect economic growth in emerging and developing Asia and support the "Finance-led growth theory."
 Novelty: This study employs two metrics—financial institution and financial market development—to assess the link between financial development and economic growth and offers ample literature in the context of emerging and developing Asia.
Assessment of Factors Associated with Household Expenditure in Gajuri Rural Municipality, Dhading, Nepal
Authors: Acharya Krishna Prasad
Published: January 2025

Background: Household expenditure is the total amount of money spent by a household for food, cloth, shelter, education, health, transportation, sanitation, entertainment, and so on.  The objective of this study is to identify the significant factors affecting household expenditure in the rural area from the collected 897 primary data from the Gajuri Municipality in December, 2022.
Methods: Stratified random sampling method was used for the data collection and the secondary data was used from the Sahabhagitamulak Gajuri Bikas Guru Yojana, 2074. Ordinary least square regression method was used to analyze the data.
Results: The result of this study  shows that the size of the household (β = 0.023, p < 0.001), gender of the household head (β = 0.059, p=0.003), income of the household (β = 0.093, p < 0.001), access to internet in the house (β = -0.191, p < 0.001), and the access to the television in the house  (β = -0.090, p < 0.001) were found important in determining household expenditure in this municipality.
Conclusion: From this study, it can be found that the size of the household, gender of the household head, income of the household, access to the internet in the house and access to the television in the house are strongly associated with household expenditure instead of literacy status of household head, remittance receiving status of household, and age of the household head due to the contemporary development and advancement in the society. This study could help policy makers assess factors determining household expenditure and develop plans for Gajuri Rural Municipality.
Novelty: In underdeveloped countries, it is difficult to determine exactly what housing costs are especially in rural areas. This is because uneducated landowners do not account for the consumption of agricultural produce and the expenditure incurred in it.
Manuscripts of Ivan Dniprovskyi and the History of Executed Renaissance
Authors: Trofymenko Tetiana
Published: January 2025

The article deals with texts of Ivan Dniprovsky, a Ukrainian writer belonging to the Executed Renaissance period. As a representative of the Mykola Khvylovy’s generation, Dniprovsky was a popular writer in Kharkiv in the 1920s-1930s. Today, his name is undeservedly forgotten. The two texts by Dniprovsky considered in the article – the Literary Ribbons diary and the documentary novel Mykola Khvylovy – are valuable sources of information about that era and the artists who created a new Ukrainian culture, the majority of whom were destroyed during Stalin’s repressions. The writer’s ego-documents record not only the facts about the literary processes of that era, but also the feelings, emotions, and psychological portraits of his comrades, among whom Mykola Khvylovy, the leader of the Red Renaissance generation, occupies a prominent place. The study of the memoir heritage of Ivan Dniprovsky is an important task for the history of Ukrainian literature, biography and textology.
Being as Endurance: A Baroque Paradigm
Authors: Krysa Bohdana
Published: January 2025

The article outlines the problem of endurance in the baroque paradigm of being on the material of Ukrainian poetic texts from the 17th and 18th centuries. This is made from three perspectives: firstly, the questions which Ukrainian baroque authors ask, thus revealing their understanding of the meaning of human existence and human destiny; secondly, the ideas of metaphysics shall be considered, which became impulses for baroque thinking and appeared in re-actualized formulations of “eternal” questions, determining the nature of the modern reception of baroque; and thirdly, the projections of baroque symbols in the poetic thinking in the 20th and 21st centuries shall be analysed.
Politics in Enlightened Spain during the 18th century: a new historiographic direction
Authors: Gómez Urdáñez José Luis
Published: January 2025

The diversification of the studies on the 18th century allows us to expand on old controversies and find new ways of understanding them. Concepts such as “enlightened absolutism” may be appropriate if we speak of the political formula in which “ministerial despotism” was sheltered under the king’s power to develop plans that, without his support, could not have been successful. The Enlightenment acted as a desideratum, but it coexisted with the motto “to command is to punish”, which came from the stalest absolutism and continued to demonstrate efficacy. In summary, it was proposed to deepen the debate of the contradictions of a century in excess of “sugar-coating”. In summary, it is proposed here to delve into the dialectic of the contradictions of an excessively “sweetened” century and to reflect with new arguments on the limitations that the reformist process had in a society based on privilege. The 18th century, “the century of authority”, broadened the limits and allowed some political, economic and social reforms, but always appealing to “order” and “obedience to authority”. The “Domus Regia”, the tension between the Grandees and the ministers of “plebeian” origin -some even poor, such as Soler, Gálvez or Ensenada- and a “political” Church, subjected to regalism, make up the framework of political action for this century.
Iberian monarchy and property: the influence of Fermín Caballero in the Portuguese land framework (1872-1900)
Authors: Nunes Teresa
Published: January 2025

In the second half of the 19th century, low agricultural productivity, along with the gradual implementation of the liberal institutional architecture and changes in the world exchange system, favoured the resurgence of an extensive debate on rural properties in Portugal. In the wake of the first discussions that took place following the implantation of the liberal regime in 1820, this dispute focused on the conditions underlying the formation of agricultural property, the nature of the forms of exploration, in particular the prevailing bonds, without forgetting the uses of the soils and its modernization. This article makes a contextualized analysis of the different political perspectives expressed by the Portuguese, monarchist and anti-monarchist parties on this issue. Special emphasis is given to the impact of Fermín Caballero’s thinking on the foundations developed by the Portuguese landowners.
The structure of Spanish politics during Isabella II’s reign (1833-1868)
Authors: Rueda Hernanz Germán
Published: January 2025

By “structure”, we understand how the parts of a whole are organized in a relatively long time. These tend to be stable and imply permanence and regularity or, at most, slow changes. On the other hand, the term “conjuncture” describes political events that produce rapid changes in people and situations in a relatively short historical timeframe. The reign of Isabella II (1833-1868) is difficult to understand conjuncturally, due to the rapid and constant succession of political and social events. However, it is easier to understand if we try to examine the structure and political constants of over three decades which are different from the previous period; that is to say, the reign of Fernando VII (1813-1833) and the following one, the Sexenio (1868-1874), to which the revolution of ‘68 gave rise.
Disquiet and political commitment. The military at the beginning of the Spanish War of Independence (Peninsular War)
Authors: La Parra López Emilio
Published: January 2025

This text focuses on two factors that conditioned the political position of Spanish military commanders in the fi rst months of the war against Napoleon: the experience before 1808 and the transformation of the Spanish army once the war began. From this point of view, some observations are made on the military’s attitude towards three serious problems at that time: loyalty to the new authorities, recognition of the sovereignty of the patriotic juntas, and the formation of a unified power on the anti-Napoleonic side. The debate on how to constitute a general government for the nation that would overcome the particularism of the juntas was intense. The problem was solved by the Cortes of Cádiz, but the solution was revolutionary and did not convince those who participated in the absolutist culture, whether civilians or military men.
Enhancing Student Creativity through Smartphone Photography Workshops: A Case Study at STAIN Madina
Authors: Farid Ahmad Salman
Published: January 2025

The digital era has made photography an essential skill, especially with the advancement of smartphone technology, enabling users to produce high-quality photos. However, many students have yet to understand how to optimally utilize camera features. This program aims to enhance the creativity of STAIN Madina students through smartphone photography training. This community service activity employs the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, involving students in all stages of the activity: planning, implementation, and evaluation. The training was conducted over three days, covering basic photography theory, field practice, and digital portfolio development. Evaluation was carried out through pre-tests, post-tests, and an exhibition of participants' works. The training successfully improved the students' photography skills. A total of 85% of participants demonstrated improved photography outcomes after the training. Additionally, participants were able to create digital portfolios to showcase their works. Satisfaction surveys revealed that 90% of participants found the training beneficial for developing their creative and professional skills. The results indicate that the PAR approach is effective in increasing participant engagement, which positively impacts their skills and creativity. The training not only provided technical benefits but also opened new opportunities for students to utilize photography as a medium of expression and a potential career path.
Aesthetic and spatial compatibility of art centers formed as a result of the redevelopment of industrial buildings
Authors: Kutniak Ostap
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this article is to study the formative components of Art Centers, formed as a result of redevelopment. The research is based on the methods of volumetric spatial analysis and the study of the dependence of the location of creative centers and their social impact on the local community. The article also provides for the use of the inductive method in the transition from iconic objects to a generalized picture of the revaluation of the historically complex structure of the city. The text analyzes the architectural and spatial structure of cultural and artistic institutions of domestic and foreign design experience. Formative factors of these institutions are considered. The text provides an overview of the variety of art centers, their functions, and their significance for culture as a whole. The main factors influencing the formation of forms during the redevelopment of industrial buildings for a cultural and artistic function are considered, namely: establishing the feasibility of reusing the industrial object of the building (finding out the reasons for the decline of the construction area, the importance of its restoration; the protection status of the building; urban planning analysis of the built-up area, transport and engineering infrastructure); determining its condition from the point of view of the degree of protection and the possibility of revaluation; analysis of its suitability for reinterpretation as a cultural and artistic function (volumetric and planning features, degree of deterioration of the main structures, etc.); determining the economic feasibility of such reconstruction; architectural and town-planning justification of the renovation; development of the architectural project and design solutions for the interiors and exteriors of the Art Center; objective assessment of the project; determination of features of further operation. On the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the volume-spatial organization of domestic and foreign design experience of art centers, the main architectural form-forming factors were identified.
Benchmark Evaluations, Applications, and Challenges of Large Vision Language Models: A Survey

Published: January 2025

Multimodal Vision Language Models (vlms) have emerged as a transformative technology at the intersection of computer vision and natural language processing, enabling machines to perceive and reason about the world through both visual and textual modalities. For example, models such as CLIP[1], Claude[2], and GPT-4V[3] demonstrate strong reasoning and understanding abilities on visual and textual data and beat classical single modality vision models on zero-shot classification[4]. Despite their rapid advancements in research and growing popularity in applications, a comprehensive survey of existing studies on vlms is notably lacking, particularly for researchers aiming to leverage vlms in their specific domains. To this end, we provide a systematic overview of vlms in the following aspects: [1] model information of the major vlms developed over the past five years (2019-2024); [2] the main architectures and training methods of these vlms; [3] summary and categorization of the popular benchmarks and evaluation metrics of vlms; [4] the applications of vlms including embodied agents, robotics, and video generation; [5] the challenges and issues faced by current vlms such as hallucination, fairness, and safety. Detailed collections including papers and model repository links are listed in https://github.com/zli12321/Awesome-VLM-Papers-And-Models.git.
