Authors: Bastian Kevin C. , Fuller Sarah C.
Published: August 2023

Using 7 years of administrative data from North Carolina public schools (NCPS), we track changes in teacher and principal attrition and mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic and assess how attrition is related to characteristics of educators and schools. We find that educator attrition and mobility increased sharply between Fall 2020 and Fall 2022. Data from the pandemic period indicate that educators of color and more effective educators have experienced larger increases in attrition than their White and less effective peers. Gaps in teacher attrition have narrowed between schools educating many versus few historically marginalized students.
Construction of regional breeding indices for cows of the Ayrshire population of the Russian Federation
Authors: Romanova E. , Tulinova O.
Published: August 2023

An assessment of the Estimation Breeding Value (EBV) of Ayrshire first-calving cows was carried out using the BLUP Animal Model, followed by the modeling of breeding indices and the calculation of weight coefficients, taking into account the segmentation of animal groups by breeding regions. As a result of the assessment of breeding value, differences were established for certain economically useful traits in the studied populations of first-calving cows. In the group of cows from the Republic of Karelia (KRL), estimates for milk yield for 305 days (MY) were +263 kg, fat yield (FAT) +9.2 kg, protein yield (PROT) +8.7 kg. Animals from the Leningrad region (LO) had the most desirable reproduction scores: days open (DO) and Intercalving period (ICP) were at the level of -0.15 and +0.08 days, respectively. The fertility index (FI) turned out to be at the level of +0.19, yielding in value only to first-calving cows from the KRL, whose estimates were +0.31. A negative genetic relationship between MY and the percentage of fat and protein (rg = -0.100, rg = -0.096) and a low phenotypic relationship (rp = +0.013, rp = +0.168, respectively), were revealed. The phenotypic correlation of MY with live weight at 10 months (W10) was +0.351, which is higher compared to other signs of development. The heritability coefficients of developmental indicators, such as W10, live weight at the first insemination (W1INS) and after the first calving (W1C) had insignificant differences between themselves and amounted to: 0.17, 0.20 and 0.18, respectively.  On the basis of phenotypic and genetic correlation coefficients and heritability coefficients of the studied traits, on average for the population, a general index was used, and taking into account differences in regions, regional indices were developed. The main difference between the presented indices is the values of weight coefficients. In the Republic of Komi, in comparison with other regions, MY for 305 days (+54.94) and FI (+0.90) take more weight, in the Siberian Federal District (SFO) - FAT (+12.98), in the Southern Federal District (SFO) - PROT (+26.9), and in the index for the LO - the indicator W10 (+0.50). The values of weight coefficients for W10 differ between regions not only in terms of values, but also in direction. According to this indicator, negative weighting coefficients were noted in the Vologda (-0.30), Kirov regions (-0.10) and the Southern Federal Districts (-0.10). In the KRL, there is a greater need to work with the reproductive qualities of animals, as indicated by the weight coefficient for the fertility index equal to +0.25.

Authors: Antoniv S. , Kolisnyk S. , Zapruta O. , Konovalchuk V.
Published: August 2023

Purpose. Plant production largely depends on the ability to obtain good quality seeds. Factors that lead to a change in the strategy of forage crop seeding in conditions of the Ukrainian market are the need for further intensification of the feed production industry, which is a prerequisite for the successful development of animal husbandry. In this regard, the main goal of forage crop seeding is to ensure sufficient production of leguminous and cereal grass seeds to improve and expand the areas of cultural pastures and hayfields, to optimize the structure of forage crop sown areas in field and meadow feed production, reclamation of eroded lands, creation of gardens and parks lawns with high aesthetic indicators, as well as for the export of seeds of perennial grasses. Methods. Field, laboratory, visual, measuring, weight, quantitative, test sheaf method, mathematical, statistical. Results. The data of long-term studies on the formation of high yields of leguminous and cereal grasses seeds are highlighted. It has been established that seed yield largely depends on technological factors, in particular, on the fertilization system in crop rotation, harvesting dates, crop preservation, biological characteristics of seed plants of these species. The exclusion of at least one of the operations provided by the technology leads to a significant decrease in the seed productivity of perennial grasses. Conclusions. In order to increase the volume of seed production of perennial leguminous and cereal grasses with high sowing and yield properties of the new generation varieties, innovative energy-saving technologies for their cultivation have been developed based on biologization of the production process, optimization of the mineral nutrition system, the use of chelated fertilizers and growth regulating preparations in the corresponding periods of the development of seed grass stands, which provides a 18-210% increase in seed productivity of perennial grasses, improves the sowing properties of seeds (growth strength, germination ability, weight of 1000 seeds) by 4-12%.

Authors: Zabarnyy O. , Zabarna T.
Published: August 2023

Purpose and objectives of the study. The aim of the study was to investigate the peculiarities of wintering of winter rape depending on the factors of intensification in the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Methods. General scientific and special research methods were used in the course of the work. Results. Weather conditions have made their adjustments over the years of research, especially significant impact on wintering of winter rape had the amount of precipitation over the years of research and varied greatly. Pre-sowing treatment and foliar fertilization of plants were of great importance, these measures had a positive effect on the studied aspects. It also contributed to the accumulation of high sugar content in the root collar of plants, the formation of a greater accumulation of absolutely dry plant mass, which accordingly provided a higher percentage of winter hardiness of winter rape plants by 8.0-10.3%. Analyzing the research, we indicate that the use of growth regulators in foliar feeding of winter rape plants against the background of pre-sowing seed treatment had a significant effect on the wintering of rape. Treatment of winter rape seeds with Vitavax 200 FF, 34 % w.c.c., before sowing, with growth regulator Vympel-K significantly increased field germination, and their joint use provided a more positive effect. Conclusions. The use of the growth regulator Vympel-K (500 g/t) indicated that the wintering of plants was better compared to the control (untreated seeds) and almost 5.8% higher than in the variants with seed treatment with Vitavax 200 FF, 34% w.c.k. (2.5 l/t). The use of the growth regulator Vympel foliarly in the fall in the rosette phase of 5-6 leaves against the background of pre-sowing seed treatment with Vitavax 200 FF, 34 % w.c. + growth regulator Vympel-K provided better growth and development of plants.

Authors: Chornolata L. , Lykhach S. , Naidina T.
Published: August 2023

Purpose. To study the biological completeness of the feed protein, including green mass of cereal and leguminous fodder crops. To find out the role of their aminoacid composition for farm animals feeding. Methods. Sampling was carried out in accordance with State Standard of Ukraine ISO 6497:2005, determination of the content of moisture and other volatile substances – State Standard of Ukraine ISO 6496:2005, nitrogen and crude protein – State Standard of Ukraine 7169:2010. The amino acid composition of protein was determined on the AAA500 ion-exchange automatic analyzer. Results. Cereal grain proteins are characterized by a relatively low content of lysine, threonine, and corn grain – of tryptophan. The richest source of essential aminoacids among plant feeds is soybean meal, which contains, on average, 43% of protein. The complex use of sunflower and rapeseed meal maximally balances the protein nutrition of animals and the. But this raw material should be checked for protein and non-protein nitrogen content to confirm its natural origin. For ruminants, the green mass of cereal crops is a valuable feed, because the crude protein content in it reaches 12% in the tillering phase, but decreases two times in the earing phase. In the green mass of legumes, alfalfa and chickweed, the content of crude protein in the branching phase is at the level of 27-29% in terms of absolutely dry matter, and in the flowering phase –15-17%. In terms of the content of individual aminoacids, the green mass of leguminous crops exceeds the green mass of cereal fodder crops by 1.5-2 times. Conclusions. The content of lysine in triticale and rye grains is the highest – 3.6%, while in wheat – only 2.8%. An important condition in solving the problem of animal protein nutrition is its multicomponent nature, which ensures a better balance in terms of aminoacids. In terms of the content of individual aminoacids, the green mass of leguminous crops exceeds the green mass of cereal fodder crops by 1.5-2 times, while the green mass of cereal crops is characterized by a lower protein content compared to legumes.

Published: August 2023

Purpose. To investigate the heat resistance of probiotic preparations before and after granulation of compound feed, to compare the obtained results. Methods. General scientific: hypothesis, experiment, analysis and synthesis. Specific: morphological, biochemical and statistical. To define the heat resistance of bacterial preparations, the colony-forming viability of bacterial cells was determined before and after granulation with exposure to maximum heat for one minute. The temperature of the granulated compound feed (before cooling) was set with a maximum thermometer. Results. It was established that increasing the temperature of the finished granules to 80-82°C significantly reduced the colony-forming ability of the cells of the bacterial preparation “BTU Probiotic”. Thus, at application of a 300 g dose of BTU probiotic per ton of compound feed, survival of bacterial colonies of the Bacillus subtilis strain decreased by 22.2%, at a 400 g dose of the preparation per ton of compound feed, survival of bacterial colonies decreased by 58.3%, at a 500 g dose – decreased by 53.3%. The maximum resistance to elevated temperatures and pressure was shown by the subtiform probiotic preparation with exposure of up to one minute. Thus, at application of 300 g doses of Subtiform per ton of compound feed, survival of bacterial colonies of another strain of Bacillus subtilis decreased by 16.0%, at 400 g doses of the preparation it decreased by 10%, at 500 g doses –decreased by 15.4%. Conclusions. The highest level of the Subtiform probiotic bacterial colonies survival was observed at application of a 400 g dose per ton of compound feed. Based on the obtained results, it can be stated that the heat resistance of the Subtiform probiotic preparation during granulation of compound feed was 38-48% higher compared to the “Probiotic BTU” preparation.

Published: August 2023

Purpose. Scientific substantiation and development of theoretical and practical approaches to the production structure and business processes of the feed center. Methods. Monographic, dialectical, abstractlogical, analysis and synthesis, statistical analysis, correlation-regression analysis, graphic display. Results. The state of the livestock industry in Ukraine has been investigated. Trends in the development of the feed market have been analyzed. The dependence of the gross production of livestock products on the amount of feed used in dairy cattle breeding was established. It was determined that in small-scale agricultural production, low productivity of animals is observed due to nutritionally unbalanced rations, shortage of feed additives, lack of green fodder. The necessity of creating feed centers within united territorial communities aimed at providing small producers with balanced feeds, and scientific and educational centers formation has been substantiated. The production structure of the innovative feed center is suggested. The use of a process approach in creating a feed center is reasoned. Business processes of the feed center are described, the main of which are: hay, silage and straw procurement; compound feeds and herbal flour production to meet the individual demands of agricultural producers. The requirements for the ration formation in the feed center are defined. Conclusions. The feed center will ensure the demand of agricultural producers of the united territorial community for highly nutritious balanced feeds, taking into account the needs of individual breeds and types of farm animals, and will also contribute to the popularization of innovative technologies through educational and extention system; to the development of small-scale animal husbandry productions; stabilization and growth of employment of rural population, thus the growth of income; social and professional adaptation of veterans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, etc.

Authors: Loginova Natalya N. , Boyko Ivan V. , Grebenkov Sergey V. , Balunov Vladimir D. , Kolesnikova Vera A.
Published: August 2023

Introduction. Occupational polyneuropathy of the upper extremities, associated with the effects of physical overload, occurs quite often in agricultural workers and is a typical disease requiring rehabilitation measures.
The study aims to research the clinical features of occupational pathology and comorbidity of occupational polyneuropathy in female agricultural workers to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation.
Materials and methods. The authors have studied the features of occupational pathology and the prevalence of common diseases in two groups of female agricultural workers who were diagnosed with occupational polyneuropathy from the effects of physical overload: milkmaids (50 people) and greenhouse workers (56 people). In these groups, all the subjects are women.
Results. Despite the significant difference in labor in livestock and crop production, in their professional activities, both groups of female workers had a combined effect of several harmful production factors, such as stereotypical work movements, static loads on their hands, causing the development of professional polyneuropathy from physical overload. In the examined groups, radiculopathy of the lumbosacral level prevailed among the concomitant occupational diseases of milkmaids (60%), pathology of the musculoskeletal system prevailed in greenhouse workers (62.5%). Of the common diseases, female workers had ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, dorsopathies and deforming osteoarthritis of various localizations.
Limitations. At agricultural enterprises with a different technology of work (poultry farms, field work in a hot climate), the nature of occupational pathology in workers may differ significantly from that described in the article.
Conclusions. These features of comorbidity should be taken into account when planning measures for medical and professional rehabilitation of patients.
Ethics. This study does not require the submission of the conclusion of the Biomedical ethics committee or other documents.
The Early Reception History of the First Book of the Etymologies as a Mirror of Carolingian Intellectual Networks: A Proposal
Authors: Steinova Evina
Published: August 2023

This article describes the theoretical point of departure for the Innovating Knowledge project, using the example of the first book of the Etymologies of Isidore of Seville as a case study. This book can be used to examine the intellectual networks that underpin the Carolingian renewal and the diffusion of innovations in early medieval Latin-writing Europe. Three case studies showcase different layers of the intellectual networks in question: a) the separate transmission of the first book of the Etymologies in the context of the teaching of grammar; b) glossing of the chapter De notis (Etym. I 21-26); and c) the diffusion of a scholarly redaction of the Etymologies from St. Gallen.
Intellectual Humility Questionnaires Fail to Predict Metacognitive Skill: Implications for Theory and Measurement
Authors: Costello Thomas H , Newton Christie , Lin Hause , Pennycook Gordon
Published: August 2023

Intellectual humility (IH) is commonly defined metacognitively: as recognizing the limits of one’s knowledge and abilities. But in the vast and growing space of IH research, the enigmatic construct is commonly measured incommensurately with its theoretical basis (via self-reports questionnaires that reflect one’s perceived, rather than objective, metacognitive abilities). We set out to clarify and measure the theoretical roots of IH, identifying two metacognitive statistical-behavioral properties that seem to be necessary to be intellectually humble (i.e., calibration and resolution) and conducting critical tests of the correspondence between these statistical-behavioral properties and self-reported IH. Using variations of overconfidence paradigms alongside a novel application of generalized additive mixed models capable of detecting individual differences in metacognitive abilities, we find that most IH measures are associated with inflated confidence regardless of accuracy (i.e., a null relation with metacognitive sensitivity), or are specifically related to confidence when participants were correct but not when they were incorrect (Nobservations per model = 7,223-12,706)—leading self-reported IH to be unrelated to epistemic calibration (i.e., metacognitive bias). These findings, which we corroborate in a pre-registered replication, suggest that foundational elements of either the theory or measurement of IH merit substantial revision.

Published: August 2023

The psychological network approach, which conceptualizes mental disorders as complex systems and provides a statistical toolbox to estimate symptom networks, has evoked innovations in psychopathology research. This perspective paper discusses how to implement this approach in real-world clinical settings, emphasizing that clinical scientists should motivate clinicians and clients to utilize it. To promote the clinical use of the psychological network approach, we provide the following five steps clinical scientists should undertake: i) provide clinicians and clients with the necessary background knowledge, ii) encourage clinicians to use the narrative network models, iii) provide clinicians with user-friendly mobile apps to conduct empirical network analyses, iv) explore clients’ experiences during the pilot trials using the psychological network approach, and v) develop guidelines for interventions using the psychological network approach through the collaboration of clinical scientists, clinicians, and clients. We close the paper by discussing the importance of bridging the academic field and clinical settings, in the hopes that other clinical scientists will participate in the discussion of possible futures for the psychological network approach.

Overcoming Barriers of Magnesium Ignition and Flammability
Authors: Czerwinski Frank
Published: August 2023

The application potential of magnesium alloys as lightweight structural materials in aerospace and especially inside the aircraft cabin are hindered by their high surface reactivity at increased temperatures with particular concerns of ignition and flammability during a potential contact with a flame or other heat source. This article describes global efforts to develop ignition-resistant and nonflammable magnesium alloys. A widely explored avenue involves microalloying magnesium with rare earth metals and other elements having a high affinity to oxygen. As demonstrated by experimental alloys, this approach allows shifting the ignition temperature well above the liquidus, not only easing requirements on protective atmospheres during liquid-state processing, but also increasing the safety margin for possible aerospace applications.

During the research, historical, analytical-empirical, inductive-deductive, comparative research methods were used to implement the principle of objectivity of scientific presentation; the method of analysis and synthesis - when evaluating indicators of debt security; graphical presentation of research results - when calculating the weighted average yield of military bonds. Results of the article. The article examines the issue of the essence, reasons for the issue and profitability of government securities in the conditions of martial law in Ukraine, considers the need for the management of government securities as the only tool in subordinating the government from the standpoint of ensuring Ukraine's debt security in the conditions of a full-scale war. It is considered that a full-fledged and liquid internal market of government securities will allow to reduce the cost of state borrowing and reduce the risks of default. Attention is paid to the matter of the issue and profitability of a new financial instrument for Ukraine - military OVDP. Debt security is studied as a dynamic process taking into account the positive effects of the use of borrowed external and internal funds. It was determined that the full-scale war reversed the positive trend towards a decrease in the share of public debt in GDP and forced a departure from the strategy of strengthening debt security, and the growth of governamental debt during the state of war is a forced phenomenon. Field of application of results. The results of the research can be used in the theory and practice of public debt management in conditions of full-scale war. The assessment of debt indicators and their analysis will be a relevant source of information for developing ways to strengthen Ukraine's debt security in peacetime. Conclusions. The growth of the public debt during martial law is a forced phenomenon: tax revenues allow to finance expenditures by only one third. Having analyzed the structure of the public debt from the standpoint of instruments for attracting funds, we can come to the conclusion that government securities are the only state-controlled instrument for ensuring debt security in conditions of forced and uncontrolled growth, primarily of external state debt. Military bonds have a specific purpose, and the economic risks caused by a military invasion do not allow the use of OZDP and Eurobonds as debt refinancing instruments.
