Abstract. Subclinical mastitis (SCM) is the most common form of mastitis and the greatest cause for concern in dairy cows. The overuse of antibiotics for the treatment of mastitis leads to the development of resistance, resulting in the use of symbiotics. The study was carried out between February and May 2017 at a pilot dairy cattle farm in the Tipaza region (north-central Algeria) aiming to investigate the effect of a symbiotic on SCM. California Mastitis test (CMT) was used to diagnose SCM in a total of 240 dairy cows. A number of 58/240 (24.16%) cows were found to have SCM. These mastitis cows were then divided into two lots; an experimental lot of 37 cows and a control lot of 21 cows. A symbiotic was administered to the experimental lot once a month for three months. Cell count, microbiological analysis and analysis of certain physicochemical parameters of the milk were applied before and after each administration of the symbiotic. The results revealed that the average somatic cells count (SCC) in cows from the control lot was higher than that of cows from the experimental lot throughout the study period (p<0.0001). Staphylococci were isolated from 51/58 (87.93%) of the mastitis cows, of which 21 (36.20%) were infected with Staphylococcus aureus and 30 (51.72%) with coagulase-negative Staphylococcus. Enterobacteriaceae were isolated from 36/58 (62.07%) of the mastitis cows, of which 21 (36.20%) were due to Escherichia coli strain and 15 (25.86%) to other strains of Enterobacteriaceae. After administration of the symbiotic, the prevalence of S. aureus and E. coli decreased significantly in the experimental lot compared to the control lot (p<0.001). The physicochemical characteristics of the milk were not altered by the administration of the symbiotic. All these results show that the symbiotic constitutes an adequate solution to replace antibiotics in the treatment of SCM.

The 500+ Family Program and the objective of the Europe 2020 labour market area
Authors: Kryk Barbara
Published: January 2021

There is huge controversy around the issue of the impact of the 500+ benefit program on the labour market in Poland, especially on the professional activity of women. The effects in this area are not only relevant for the country but also for the European Union as a whole, as they determine the achievement of the employment goal of the Europe 2020 strategy. It was, therefore, decided to examine this issue more closely. The main goal of the article is to investigate how the 500+ benefit affects the supply of female labour force and the achievement of the employment target of the Europe 2020 strategy. The specific objectives: (1) what were the goals of the Polish government in the area of the labour market at the beginning of the implementation of the EU strategy, and what goals are currently in the Strategy for Responsible Development (SOR)? (2) what were the dynamics of female labour supply compared to the changes in the labour market ? (3) what is the significance of the 500+ program for the trends in the labour market ? (4) what loss (if any) for the economy resulted from the reduction of women’s employment generated? The subject of the study is women’s labour supply/employment, and the subject of research is the Polish economy. To achieve the study goals, the desk research method, time series and indicator analysis, and GDP gaps were used. The research period is 2010-2019, with particular emphasis on the period after the introduction of the benefit in 2016. The research conducted shows that adverse changes in the labour force supply of women caused by the 500+ benefits, were offset by the return to the labour market of previously unemployed or inactive people. Thus, the strategic goal related to employment was achieved.
Desert and ruins — landscapes of anger and traces of unbelief (landscape and Scripture)
Authors: Vaneyan S. S.
Published: January 2021

The article treats of the experience of using two fundamental motives in architectural semantics — “desert” and “ruin” in order to resolve the hermeneutic paradox, which is peculiar to sacred architecture, considered in the context of Abrahamic tradition: canonical texts related to architecture either prescribe, or describe construction experience. Yet, purely construction motives can be supplemented not only by motives of creation, but also motives of destruction. Thus, the necessary critical (crisis) position of interpretation will be provided, revealing the pre- and post-architectonic dimensions of theophanic experience. The rhetorical topic of “desert” and “ruin” has two dimensions: one deals with phenomena of space and object, and the other with literary metaphors. Both are presented in the article in a threefold sequence: literature is replaced by the theory of memory, which in turn passes the baton to philosophy, primarily the philosophy of space, but also of time, with a return to history, either asserted or cancelled.
Fabrication of homogeneous magnetic PDMS membranes to mediate cell behavior
Authors: Erenay Berkay , Garipcan Bora , Odabaş Sedat
Published: January 2021

In the past decade, polymeric magnetic membranes have been used to investigate mechanical stimuli on adherent cells and cellular mechanotransduction. However, the homogeneity of these particles inside these membranes is often overlooked. In this study, magnetic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes were prepared by using magnetite (Fe3O4) particles effectively dispersed inside PDMS for the assessment of possible cellular behavior changes. Magnetite particles were synthesized using the co-precipitation method. Magnetic-particle-embedded PDMS (mpPDMS) membranes were prepared by homogenizing magnetic particles with a PDMS elastomer before the curing process. The magnetization, molecular composition and mechanical properties of these mpPDMS membranes were analyzed by using vibrating-sample magnetometry, optical microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and rheometry. The biocompatibility, cell viability and morphology of human fetal osteoblast (hFOB) cells were evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, alamarBlue cell proliferation assay and F-actin/4′,6-diamino-2-phenylindole staining. The results indicated that membranes fabricated using the presented methodology had increased magnetic particle homogeneity compared with those in previous studies and hFOB cells maintained their functionality on 0.5% (w/w) mpPDMS membranes. The methodology for the fabrication of mpPDMS reported here could be used in future studies for the investigation of cellular mechanotransduction pathways in a more controlled and repeatable manner on PDMS-based substrates.

Published: January 2021

The article describes state of the Russian market of medical instruments and equipment, the volume of production, import and export of medical instruments based on metals, and assesses the import dependence on various market segments. The comparative analysis of domestic alloys and materials produced by foreign companies has shown that Russia has developed unique alloys and steels that have no analogues abroad, with improved indicators of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, static and cyclic strength. However, metallurgical products supplied to the medical industry do not always meet the quality requirements, and medical industry enterprises use imported types of metallic products. It should be noted that for medical purposes, lowtonnage production batches are required, which are associated with increased costs. The situation is aggravated by the fact that some of the enterprises that produced low-tonnage batches of special steels and alloys were completely liquidated. In this regard, it is necessary to create a specialized manufacture of such materials. Results of the analysis of the Russian market of special metals and alloys used for medical needs are presented, and ways to solve the problem of import substitution in this market are suggested.
Thermodynamic analysis of chromium reduction from oxide Cr2O3
Authors: Kuznetsov Yu. S. , Kachurina O. I.
Published: January 2021

Thermodynamic analysis of chromium reduction from its oxide in gas phase Н2 – Н2О – СО – СО2 in contact with carbon was performed. Oxidation potential (pO2 ) was determined by two nomograms in the coordinates

 

and

 

taking into account condition normalizations xH2O + xH2 + xCO2+ xCO = 1. In calculations, possible parameters of reduction of chromium from Cr2O3 oxide were determined by ratio of dissociation elasticity of the oxide and oxidation potential of the gas phase. In the СО – СО2 – С system, chromium is reduced at temperature of 1505 K if xCO > 0.9995. At this temperature, Cr2O3 compound is reduced in water gas of the following composition xH2 = 0.0186, xH2O = 0.28·10–4, xCO = 0.9809, xCO2 = 4.86·10–4, for which the oxidation potential is equal to dissociation elasticity of oxide

 

With an increase in hydrogen concentration from 0.0186 to 0.99, oxidation potential of water gas in contact with carbon decreases by four orders of magnitude to

 

This should lead to a significant increase in reduction rate. In such a gaseous atmosphere, it is possible to reduce chromium at temperature of 1230 K. It is technologically simple to obtain reducing water gas and at the lowest cost, for example, by heating water vapor in contact with carbon. It is shown that at temperature of 1500 K water gas is obtained with traces of Н2О and СО2 compounds with parameters xH2 = 0.4999, xCO = 0.4996,

 

 

Oxidizing potential of such a gas is less than that of chromium oxide, and this difference significantly increases with increasing temperature.
About Relations between Natural Gas and Oil in Connection with Forecast of Their Reserves in Azerbaijan
Authors: Feizullaev A. A.
Published: January 2021

Azerbaijan is one of the oldest oil and gas provinces, where more than 2 bln tons of oil have been extracted over more than a century. At present, the oil production is declining and mainly determined by production from the Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli offshore block (AChG). Compared to oil, the opportunities for further growing natural gas reserves and production are very promising. For the latest years, a number of large gas condensate fields have been discovered in the deep-water part of South Caspian Sea, such as Shakh-Deniz, Apsheron, Umid. There are a number of prospects that have not yet been drilled in this part of the sea basin. The paper assesses their prospectivity, substantiates the priority exploration targets and, on the basis of the statistical analysis of the quantitative gas/oil ratio data for many other Azerbaijanian and world basins, an attempt is made to assess the reserves in the prospects. The total recoverable oil reserves in Azerbaijan are estimated at 3.5 bln tons, of which slightly above 2 bln tons have already been extracted. Based on the statistically estimated ratio between the volumes of gas and oil in various basins of the world, including Azerbaijan, the total possible natural gas reserves in Azerbaijan are estimated at about 4 trillion m3 . This is in agreement with the other available estimates. Of this volume of natural gas, 0.85 trillion m3 has already been extracted, and the approved geological reserves are estimated at 2.55 trillion m3 . Almost 83% of the extracted natural gas belonged to offshore fields. This trend will continue in the future, and, moreover, will be strengthened due to large volumes of gas condensate accumulations in the deepwater part of the basin. In this part of the basin, the most attractive prospects are Mashal, Shafag, and Israfil Huseynov, total reserves of which are expected at 0.6 trillion m3 of natural gas.
Collector for Copper-Arsenic Ore Flotation
Authors: Ryaboy V. I. , Shepeta E. D.
Published: January 2021

Copper and scheelite concentrates are produced from scheelite-sulfide ores of the Vostok-2 deposit at the Primorsky processing plant. Chalcopyrite, gold, silver, and harmful impurities (arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite) are extracted into the copper concentrate. As a collector, dialkyldithiophosphate-type IMA-I413p reagent is used. Bulk sulfide concentrate is produced using activated carbon and trisodium phosphate; copper cleaner flotation is carried out in the medium of ferrous sulfate. The commercial copper concentrate contains 16 % copper, 33 g/t gold, and 280 g/t silver. The recovery of the metals is 67.6, 44.7, and 50.1 %, respectively. The weight fraction of arsenic in the ore fluctuates in the range of 0.04–0.25%, and that in the concentrate, 0.7–2.3 %. The enterprise looks for ways to increase recovery of the valuable metals and decrease content of arsenic in the copper concentrate to below 1% at the expense of increasing contrast in the separation of chalcopyrite from iron sulfides/arsenopyrite/pyrrhotite. For solving this problem, we performed a study of flotation properties of sulfide collectors based on dialkyldithiophosphates: BTF-15221, BTF -271, non-ionic collector Reaflot-277, and combinations of Reaflot-277 and IMA-I413p. Applying BTF-15221 collector allowed, as compared to the standard IMA-I413p reagent, to increase recovery of copper, gold, and silver and reduce arsenic content in the copper concentrate. The higher selectivity of BTF-15221 as compared to IMA-I413p was confirmed by the fact that the bulk of the increase in copper recovery and decrease in the weight fraction of arsenic in the copper concentrate was achieved in the selective cycle. Besides, during the study, surface activity and hydrophobizing ability of the water-soluble collectors were assessed. Using the example of BTF-15221, it was shown that improvement of the reagent collecting properties can be achieved not only due to increasing the surface activity of the reagent, but also at its decrease – in case of sufficient hydrophobizing ability of the reagent, close to that of the standard reagent. By adjusting these parameters through the use of low-molecular weight homologues of the main components, it is feasible to increase or decrease the selectivity and collecting ability of the reagent. Collector BTF-15221 is of practical interest for further testing in flotation of copper-arsenic and other ore types.
Justification of category procurement strategy implementation at uranium mining enterprises
Authors: Kosmuratov B. K.
Published: January 2021

The study relevance is supported by the following: the need to improve procurement activities in accordance with the tasks set by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which indicate the need for radical revision of approaches to procurement in the quasi-public sector, natural monopolies, and subsoil use sector; the need to optimize NAC Kazatomprom JSC (the Company)'s expenses and reduce the cost of production in highly competitive situation at the natural uranium market through implementing category procurement strategy; the need to ensure efficiency and transparency of the Company's procurement through the implementation of category procurement strategy. The study aim is to substantiate effectiveness of the category procurement strategy implementation at uranium mining enterprises. The category procurement strategy is a completely new approach, which, unlike the current system, provides for achievement of economic efficiency throughout the entire life cycle of a product, work, or service. This system is being implemented for the first time in the Company and has no analogues in the country. The paper analyzed the current state of procurement activities of the uranium mining enterprises, identified and segmented problem areas of the activities, determined directions of their optimization. In addition, effectiveness of the category procurement strategy implementation at the enterprise was substantiated, and measures were developed to form the category procurement strategy in the Company for the main groups of goods.
Prospects for development of Sadon deposits by in-situ leaching
Authors: Garifulina I. Y. , Abdulkhalimov A. H. , Zaseev I. A. , Maystrov Yu. A.
Published: January 2021

The information on history of in-situ metal leaching method (ISL) was given. The role of Russian scientists and research organizations in research into ISL processes was shown. Examples of ISL application at the mines of the USSR, the CIS and non-CIS countries with the implementation features were given. The main disadvantages of ISL were formulated: low rate of metal production and difficulty in monitoring the completeness of metal recovery into pregnant solution. It was noted that underground leaching of even well-crushed ores lasts for many years. This, under otherwise equal conditions, decreases attractiveness of ISL in comparison with traditional methods of metal mining. Well-known and new promising methods of the leaching process intensification for increasing the rate of metal extraction into solution were described. As illustrated by the North Caucasian deposits of the Sadon group, the expediency of ISL use for extracting the residual reserves, which would not be extracted by the traditional methods, was shown. The role of Professor I. A. Ostroushko in development and implementation of methods for extracting metals remained in the mined-out space of mines, in particular, by extracting metals from the Sadon deposits wastewater. Information on the current state of ISL application was given. The conclusion was made about insufficient use of this promising method in mining in some regions. For the first time, the details of the ISL general concept were clarified: the feasibility of ISL use not only in favorable conditions, but also at non-continuous geology and mineralization; ISL applicability for not only substandard ores (non-extractable by traditional mining methods), but also for balance reserves; ISL (block leaching) was proposed as an alternative to traditional mining methods in specific conditions, for example, at the North Caucasian complex ore deposits.
Analysis of energy performance of heading sets of equipment at a coal mine
Authors: Sadridinov A. B.
Published: January 2021

The growth of volume of tunneling, power supplied per job, and consumption of fuel and energy resources makes it necessary to increase energy performance of production processes with reducing energy losses. Tunneling conditions are determined by a combination of mutually influencing factors (geological, technological and organizational), and assessing their impact on tunneling energy performance requires a deep detailed study. For criterion assessment of tunneling performance, indicators of energy consumption, performance, and quality of tunneling performed by shift crews, allowing to objectively assess their work, were proposed. Indicators of process and specific power consumption in the process of tunneling vary over a wide range, therefore, to ensure smooth equipment operation, shift crews must adhere to the recommended indicators that determine the optimum rates of tunneling and enables adherence to permissible operation modes. Statistical models of energy performance indicators of heading sets of equipment operation were investigated using the example of the Severnaya coal mine. Indicators of energy consumption, energy performance, and tunneling (on shift basis) were proposed. Distribution laws have been determined for the main indicators characterizing tunneling energy performance. Recommendations have been developed to ensure sustainable operation of heading sets of equipment throughout the entire period of tunneling. Tunneling requires permanent monitoring its parameters and rates of advance, the quality of face preparation, timely maintenance and repair of machinery and equipment, control of the process through ensuring optimal operating modes of the heading sets of equipment.
Was ist eine Frau?

Was ist eine Frau? Die Frage ist spätestens seit der hitzigen, quer durch die sozialen Medien und internationalen Feuilletons geführten Debatte über einen im Juni abgesetzten Tweet der Harry-Potter- Autorin Joanne K. Rowling nicht mehr leicht zu beantworten. In dem Tweet hatte sich Rowling belustigt über einen Artikel geäußert, der sich mit den Implikationen von COVID-19 für Fragen der Menstruationshygiene befasste und dazu «eine gleichere post-COVID-19-Welt für menstruierende Personen» forderte. Letztere hatten doch einmal einen Namen, so Rowling, ob ihr jemand aushelfen könne – «Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?» Was folgte, war ein Shitstorm, in dessen Zuge die digitale Transcommunity Rowling als transphob und, schlimmer noch, als «TERF» beschimpfte
Und trotzdem Pop. Ruth Landshoff-Yorck in Amerika
Authors: Lickhardt Maren
Published: January 2021

Nur wenig Selbstinszenierung ist im Spiel, wenn Ruth Landshoff- Yorck, vielleicht um das Blatt an Freundinnen und Freunde zu versenden, einen Ankündigungsflyer für ihre Vortragsreise durch die USA handschriftlich mit den Worten versieht: «Das war ich voriges Jahr …». Bei dem deutschen It-Girl und der deutschen Mode-Ikone der 20er-Jahre schlechthin, die sich offensiv auf den Berliner Boulevards – im Romanischen Café oder im Café des Westens und in Lifestyle-Magazinen wie Uhu oder Das Leben – zur Schau gestellt hat, gleicht die Glosse eher einem nachdenklichen Rückblick. Dass sie auf dem Flyer mit dem Namen Ruth Countess Yorck von Wartenburg angekündigt wird, weist sie als Ex-Ehefrau von Friedrich David Graf Yorck von Wartenburg aus. Dies verleiht ihr als «Interpreter of Europe for America» eine besondere Dignität. Als «Countess» verspricht sie einen elegischen Blick auf das versunkene Europa der Adelsgesellschaft, dem in Amerika gerne der rote Teppich ausgerollt wird. Ruth, die ihren Nachnamen oft gewechselt hat – von Levy zu Landshoff zu Yorck von Wartenburg zu L. Yorck zu Landshoff-Yorck und weiteren Varianten –, bedurfte freilich des Adelstitels durch die Heirat mit dem Grafen nie, um sich herauszuheben und zu unterscheiden.
Bedingungslos. Hannah Arendt im Netz ihrer Freundschaften
Authors: Hahn Barbara
Published: January 2021

Noch in großer Trauer um die Freundin, deren «plötzlicher Tod» sie «sehr erschreckt» hatte, erinnerte sich Hella Jaensch an die «Freundesgespräche, von denen Hannah einmal sagte, daß durch sie die Freundschaft erst eigentlich menschlich wird.» In Arendts Nachlass finden sind viele Spuren dieser «Freundesgespräche», von denen bisher nur ein kleiner Teil bekannt geworden ist. Sie alle wurden nach Arendts Flucht aus Deutschland geführt, aus den Jahren davor ist nichts überliefert. Das Netz aus Frauenfreundschaften, das Arendt vor 1933 knüpfte, lässt sich daher nur aus der Perspektive der Nachkriegszeit rekonstruieren. Wobei sich zeigt, dass sie dieses Netz immer weiter spannte: Freundinnen aus der Neuen brachte sie mit denen aus der Alten Welt zusammen; Frauen, die sie in unterschiedlichen Lebensphasen kennengelernt hatte, befreundeten sich miteinander.
Erfahrungsräume und Frauenkampf. Ein Gespräch über die amerikanische und deutsche Frauenbewegung

Published: January 2021

Mit Varieties of Feminism hat die US-amerikanische Soziologin Myra Marx Ferree 2012 einen groß angelegten historischen Vergleich der US-Frauenbewegung mit derjenigen in Deutschland vorgelegt: Das 19. Jahrhundert bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg, die Zwischenkriegszeit und die unterschiedliche Lage in DDR und BRD sowie die Fieberkurven der US-Gleichstellungsdebatten bis hin zu «queer» und dem globalisierten Ansatz «Gender- Mainstreaming» werden analysiert. Mehrere Dreiecke liegen übereinander: Neben dem Ländervergleich USA/BRD/DDR gibt es die Wahrnehmungsmuster «Rasse», «Klasse», «Geschlecht» – und dann die changierenden Attribute «liberal», «autonom» und «radikal». An diesen Zuschreibungen entscheiden sich Miteinander oder aber Spaltung der Aktivistinnen selbst.

Physicochemical properties and storage stability of mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) cultivated on single (sawdust) and mixed substrates (sawdust and oil palm fibre)
Authors: Ogundele Gabriel F. , Bamidele Oluwaseun P.
Published: January 2021

Oyster mushroom nutrientshave been rated side by side with proteinsin meat and eggs. Oyster mushroomsarehigh in vitamins and essential amino acids, but theircultivation is poor. Oil palm fibre is being used in making material strength in mechanical engineering with little or no use in the cultivation of food products. This study determined the physicochemical properties and storage stability of mushroomscultivated on single and mixed substrates (sawdust and oil palm fibre). Oil palm fibremixed with sawdust at different ratios (95:5, 90:10 and 85:15) was used to grow oyster mushroomsin other to turn waste to wealth. The oyster mushroomscultivated on both single and mixed substratesweresubjected to proximate composition analysis (22.99, 4.54, 6.93,and 6.98%, for crude protein, fat, fibre, and ash),mineral content (5.92 mg/100g for sodium and 25.76 mg/100g for potassium), amino acid profile (155.85 mg/g for a total essential amino acid), fatty acid profile (43.82% for linoleic acid), anti-nutritional factor, and storage stability for three months. The mushroomscultivated on the mixed substrate (oil palm fibre + sawdust) havea higher proximate composition, mineral content, amino acid profile,and fatty acid profiles than mushroomscultivated on a single substrate (sawdust). Although the peroxide value of the oyster mushroom samples from the mixed substrates increased with storage time, the peroxide value was lower than 10 meq/kg of fat throughout the storage period,which means the samples could still be considered stable during storage. Cultivation of oyster mushroomson mixed substrates of oil palm fibreand sawdust should be encouraged for highly nutritious oyster mushroom production. Oil palm fibre can also serve as a raw material in mushroom cultivation.

Published: January 2021

The influence of different heat treatments,including oven drying at 40, 50, 60 and 70°C for 60, 120 and 180 minutes ateach temperature,roasting, boiling for 5, 10, and 15 minutes,sun and solar drying for 480 and 720 minutes,on the drying behaviour, moisture content and oil yield of Balanite aegyptiacakernels (BaKs) was investigated.The moisture contentson wet basis were determined by the oven drying method at 105C for 4 hours and calculated from both weight loss data anddry solid weight of the kernel samples,while oil was extracted with n-hexane using Soxhlet apparatus. The experiments were conducted in triplicates.Low moisture contents of 2.726 and 2.426% at drying times of 60 and 120 minutes were obtained in Balanites aegyptiaca kernelsdried at 70C,while drying at 40, 50 and 60C for 180 minutes gave low moisture contents of 3.973, 3.861 and 3.779%,respectively. The drying of Balanite aegyptiacakernels occured in the falling rate period. The moisture contents of Balanites aegyptiaca kernelsoven-dried at 40, 50, 60 and 70C decreased with increasing drying time when compared to the raw kernels. Similarly, the average oil yield of Balanite aegyptiaca kernels decreased with increasing temperature in the following order: raw>40C>50C>60C>70 C. The highest oil yield (45.345%)was obtained in the boiled kernels and the least oil yield (37.790%) in those kernels dried at 70 C. Results from thisstudy justify the use of boilingin traditional Balanite kernel oil extraction process as it gave the highest oil yield.
Enhancement of polyphenols and antioxidant and inhibitory properties of Corchorus olitorius and Amaranthus hybridus leaves by the Ultraviolet-C treatment
Authors: Karigidi Kayode Olayele , Adebogun Olufunke Omowunmi
Published: January 2021

The effect of the postharvest (Ultraviolet-C) treatment on total phenolics, total flavonoids, total antioxidant capacity, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity(DPPH),and reducing power of Corchorus olitorius(CO) and Amaranthus hybridus(AH)was investigated. Their abilities to inhibit induced lipid peroxidation, α-amylase,and α-glucosidase after the ultraviolet-C treatment were also evaluated. The leaves were exposed to ultraviolet-C radiation for 10 min. Total phenolics, total flavonoids, total antioxidant capacity, DPPH scavenging ability,and reducing power were significantly (p < 0.05) increased after the ultraviolet-C treatment. Also,their abilities to inhibit SNP-induced lipid peroxidation, α-amylase and α-glucosidase were also enhanced significantly (p < 0.05). Therefore,apart from using ultraviolet-C radiation in water purification, it can be used to enhance health-promoting components in fruit and vegetables.
The influence of varying cooking temperatures on the antioxidant properties of the aqueous extract of Piper guineense (Schumach & Thonn) seeds
Authors: Oso Babatunde , Olaoye Ige
Published: January 2021

The study assessed the influence of varying cooking temperatures on the antioxidant properties of the aqueous extract of Piper guineense seeds. Different portions of the aqueous extract of P. guineense seeds were cooked at different temperatures which include 50 oC, 70 oC, and 90 oC for 10 minutes, while the remaining portion was allowed to stand for 10 minutes at room temperature of 29 oC
and all were assessed for the evaluations of reducing power, radical scavenging capacities, and total phenolic contents. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the ferric reducing power at 90
oC, however, there was no significant difference between the raw and the cooked P. guineense seeds at 50 oC and 70 oC. In addition, the radical scavenging potential of the extract was highest at 70 oC, however, none of the cooked P. guineense
seeds at the selected temperatures exhibited lower DPPH scavenging property. A similar trend was observed for the phenolic content of the extract with a significant reduction at 90 oC. The study suggests that cooking at 70 oC could enhance the antioxidant potentials of P. guineense seeds
Original Projections of Author’s “Self” in Modern Russian and Uzbek Short Story
Authors: Kamilova Saodat E. , Arustamyan Yana Yu.
Published: January 2021

This article is devoted to the analysis of the short story genre in Russian and Uzbek literature of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, in which a subjectivist-open position in attitude to reality acquires the quality of the leading principle organizing its artistic integrity. The article analyzes the whole layer of works with different realization of the triad “author-narrator-character”. These three components of its beginning are connected at one point, the author becomes both the narrator and the protagonist of a literary text. Moreover, either a partial or complete coincidence of the narrator with the author is observed. In such stories, regardless of the object of reflection, the narration is conducted in the first person and is purely subjective. We decided that it was logical to consider them in accordance with one or another specific type of authorship presented. As a result, we have developed a classification of the types of the author’s “Self”, which is represented by introverted, juvenile- retrospective and lyrical types of the author’s “Self” in modern Russian and Uzbek short stories
Idiostyle Characteristics of Lexical Compatibility in the 19th-Сentury Prose: Ural Stylometric Project
Authors: Mukhin Mikhail Yu. , Mukhin Nikolai Yu.
Published: January 2021

The article presents the project of the Ural Federal University scientists connected with the formalized study of lexical compatibility in Russian classical prose of the 19th century. The study aims to identify idiostylistic characteristics of individual-author syntagmatic. A lexical bigram – a pair of words extracted from one phrase context – is accepted as a unit of compatibility. With the help of their corpus of classical prose (works by Leo N. Tolstoy, Fyodor M. Dostoyevsky, Anton P. Chekhov, Ivan S. Turgenev and Ivan A. Goncharov), the project participants carried out a comparative statistical analysis of lexical bigrams typical for the works of each author and not found in the texts of other writers. A prerequisite for the selection of material is that one of the words constituting a bigram is often used by all authors. Thus, based on the lexical fund common to all authors, the idiostylistical peculiarities of lexical compatibility are revealed. The results of the study are presented on the example of the author’s use of adverbs in the works of Fyodor M. Dostoevsky and comparison of syntagmatic characteristics of these adverbs with their textual embodiment in the works of other four authors. Conclusions are made about stylometric perspectives of formalized research of syntagmatic for idiostylistics and author’s lexicography
