Techniques for determining the weight fraction of protein, water-soluble vitamins B1 and B2, the weight fraction of omega-3 fatty acids, and cholesterol in fat-containing confectionery have been developed. Factual data on the content of vitamins B1 and B2, omega-3 fatty acids, and cholesterol in fat-containing confectionery products have been obtained. It has been found that of the studied samples of sugar cookies, one sample is a source of vitamins B1 and B2. Of the studied samples of fl our confectionery, two samples of oatmeal cookies are a source of omega-3 fatty acids and are characterized by the absence of cholesterol. Based on the developed methods, a methodology for monitoring the content of vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and cholesterol in fat-containing confectionery products has been developed.

Microbiological and safety indicators are the basis for the safety of all food products, including confectionery. Compliance with quality standards guarantees the safety of confectionery products for consumers and determines the degree of stability of products during storage. Microbiological safety of products depends on the type and number of microorganisms, as well as on their ability to develop in the product. The microbiological indicators of the quality and safety of confectionery products during storage have been studied. The number of mold fungi and yeast cells, as well as QMAFAnM in finished products, did not exceed the standard values.

It is shown that a certain set of indicators of oxidative spoilage corresponds to a certain shelf life of confectionery products. The ratio of the induction time, peroxide value, and other indicators allows predicting the safety of confectionery. Diff erent fats have diff erent eff ects on the preservation of vitamins. It has been found that the loss of vitamin B1 in cookies made using sunfl ower oil was 34%. However, in cookies made with palm oil, the loss was only 13%. The infl uence of the quality of peanuts and cashews on the preservation of candy shells has been studied. After storage at a temperature of 18°C, the highest values of the peroxide value were found for the fat fraction of sweets made using peanuts. After 2 months, the induction time of the fat fraction of candy shells decreased by 1.7 times. With an increase in the storage temperature of sweets by 10ºС, the rate of oxidative processes increased by 2 times. This approach can be used to predict the shelf life using the accelerated aging method.

The article describes the history of the organization of a real-life experiment for the long-term storage of food products, which was begun in 1900 on the western coast of the Taimyr Peninsula by the fi rst Russian polar expedition of the Russian Academy of Sciences led by the geologist and geographer Eduard Vasilyevich Toll. The main tasks of scientifi c work on the study of physicochemical and organoleptic quality indicators of food and industrial products during long-term storage in conditions of unregulated negative temperatures in the permafrost of the Arctic zone of Russia are presented. A historical background on the course of the scientifi c experiment from the moment the storage facility was discovered in 1973 to the present is given. The technical data and settings of the highly economical two-channel autonomous loggers of TR-5L thermometers used for measuring storage conditions since 2010 are indicated. The results of the studies of temperature and relative air humidity indicators inside the containers with food products placed in permafrost at a depth of 0.5 meters for long-term storage at Cape Depo of the Taimyr Peninsula are presented. Statistical processing and analysis of the temperature and relative air humidity values in the storage facility for the periods of 2010-2016 and 2016-2022 have been carried out. The trend to the general increase in temperature both in summer and in winter months is found. An analysis of the humidity of the storage conditions made it possible to determine that the absolute humidity of the air decreased from 1.5 g/m3 at the time of laying the products to 0.1 g/m3 during the initial cooling process and then had an upward trend, reaching a maximum value of 5 g/m3 in 2022. The reasons for the increase in moisture content, as well as the divergence of the process of increasing the relative humidity of the air in the upper and lower parts to the anti-phase mode, are found. The depth of the new repository was determined based on the results of thermography of the exposed soil. The possibilities for analyzing the storage conditions of products in permafrost on the Taimyr Peninsula in the next observation period of 2022-2027 have been expanded by installing an additional logger. The results of the work performed in the framework of the experiment are summed up. It is proposed to develop the technology of compact long-term storage by designing computerized chests and expand the experiment in terms of increasing the volume of stored products when placed in the mines of underground storage facility in permafrost in the Arctic.

Ensuring safety during the entire shelf life of confectionery imposes special requirements on the used raw materials, semi-finished products, and the sanitary state of production. One of the most eff ective ways to enrich confectionery products with biologically active substances is the development of recipes using fruit or vegetable powders, which leads to a change not only in organoleptic, but also in rheological, physicochemical, and microbiological parameters. Mold levels can increase due to the complexity of the sanitary environment, which can be caused by inventory, sanitary clothing, the presence of manual operations, and the place of air intake. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the initial low level of microbiological contamination in the product. It is essential to take this into account in the production of confectionery products, including in small industries, since the use of raw materials without prior verifi cation of indicators can lead to deterioration in the microbiological parameters of the product, which will negatively aff ect the safety of confectionery products and lead to organoleptic spoilage.

For insemination of the breeding stock of dairy cattle the semen of sires of both domestic and foreign breeding is used. Due to the fact that the issues of herd reproduction have become one of the most important factors of progress in dairy cattle breeding, the rearing of replacement young animals is given great importance. The purpose of the research was to study the age dynamics of the growth of replacement heifers depending on origin from sire. It was found that the diff erence in live weight at calving between heifers from diff erent sires was insignifi cant and amounted to 1,4 kg or 4,7 %. The heifers from the sire Sayan had the highest live weight at the age of 18 months – 425,3 kg, the heifers from the sires Cassio and Mers were slightly inferior to them by 3,6 and 5,3 kg. According to the rearing periods the heifers grew unevenly. The uneven growth of heifers from diff erent sires, although it had a common pattern, but diff ered by groups. So, from 6 to 12 months of age, there was a decrease in absolute gain in all groups, but in the next period (12–15 months), there were features in the change in absolute gains. So, in heifers from the sire Das, the absolute gain remained at the same level, and in heifers from the sires Sayan, De-Su, Touareg, Cassio, it continued to decline, while in heifers from the sires Gavano, Marrs and Bentley it is increased. On average, over the entire rearing period, it ranged from 21,0 to 22,0 kg per month. Thus, the system of rearing of replacement heifers on the farm allows us to get good results. The age of the fi rst insemination of heifers, depending on the origin of the sires ranges from 14,0 to 15,9 months with eff ective insemination at the age of 14,8–16,9 months, which suggests the use of early terms of the fi rst insemination of heifers. The live weight of heifers at the fi rst insemination meets the requirements for cattle of Black-and-White breed, regardless of their origin from sire.

Agricultural craniology is a branch of morphology fi rst studied in detail by academician E. F. Liskun. The purpose of the work was to characterize the indices of the craniums of cattle of Angler breed, which are in the collection of the State Museum of Animal Husbandry named after E. F. Liskun. The work was devoted to the calculation of indices based on measurements of the craniums of cattle of Angler breed, which are necessary for a detailed and more complete study of the craniological features of animals, as well as for conclusions about morphological changes within the breed that have occurred for a long time. As a result of the work carried out, a craniological characteristic of cattle of Angler breed was given. Based on measurements of craniums, the calculated indices characterize in detail the craniums of cattle of Angler breed and allow them to be characterized as follows: narrow, mediumlength forehead; the average distance between horns (for horned); the muzzle is relatively short, of medium length; the eye sockets are raised; the nasal bones are short and slightly wide; the mandibular bones are short and wide; the dentition is long, and the toothless space is of medium length; the profi le is low, the poll is high, of medium width. With the help of the indices of long-forehead, long-muzzle, length of nasal bones, the ratio of the length of the nasal bones to long-forehead, broad-forehead, distance between horns, broad-muzzle, broad-nose, height of the poll, the smallest width of the poll, length of the mandibular bones, it is possible to analyze the current state of this breed of cattle in comparison with its similar representatives of the late XIX – early XX century.

The purpose of the research was to study the growth and development of the replacement young chickens of the parent herd of meat production and compare the eff ectiveness of the use of two complex feed additives Sorbitox and Probitox. When rearing the replacement young chickens of the cross Ross-308, the use of feed additive Sorbitox at a dose of 0,50 kg/t of feed made it possible to obtain in comparison with the control group the livability of livestock higher by 1,5 abs.%, with a similar dosage of Probitox additive by 2,1 abs.%. Analysis of the causes of culling of the replacement young chickens showed that the use of Sorbitox and Probitox additives reduced culling after two weeks of age, while in the control group it was observed throughout the entire rearing period. The average live weight of poultry of the control and experimental groups at 18 weeks of age had no signifi cant diff erences, but at the same time the uniformity of the group with Probitox additive exceeded the control by 8,7 abs.%, with Sorbitox by 5,3 abs.%. Analysis of the development of the main organs and departments of the gastrointestinal tract showed that the studied feed additives stimulated the development of the liver, heart, muscular stomach, intestines. The weight of the ovary and the length of the oviducts in the group of chickens receiving Sorbitox exceeded the control group by 20,3 and 9,7 %, with Probitox the diff erence was 27,8 and 11,4 %. Feed additives of sorption and probiotic action in the body of poultry stimulated metabolism of an anabolic nature. In the blood of the chickens receiving Sorbitox, the total protein was by 4,5 % higher than the control group, with Probitox by 5,6 %. At the same time, the level of urea decreased by 26,0 and 33,1 %. The highest glucose content was in the blood of poultry receiving Probitox additive (12,5 mmol/l), which exceeded the control group by 20,7 %, in the group with Sorbitox the diff erence was 7,3 %. The tested feed additives contributed to a greater retention of calcium in the poultry body, and also reduced expenditures of feed for rearing replacement young chickens. The use of Sorbitox additive reduced expenditures of feed by 6,9 %, and Probitox by 12,8 %.
Turkish-Chinese Cooperation within the Framework of the New Silk Road Initiative
Authors:   Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Aff airs of Russia, Moscow, Ivochkina A. S.
Published: June 2023

The post-Soviet republics of Central Asia are becoming the arena of the geopolitical struggle between China and Turkey, which are interested in new logistics routes. Against the background of the growing economic presence of Turkey and China, the role of Russia in the region is also changing. Turkey believes that the countries of Central Asia are an important part of the trade route with China. The development of such supply chains has been discussed before, but now this issue is even more relevant. Interest is also shown in Beijing, but they are increasing transportation on Russian railways. It should be understood that all the countries of Central Asia, and especially Kazakhstan, are pursuing the so-called multi-vector foreign policy, which consists in the fact that Nur-Sultan (Astana) is trying to develop cooperation with Russia, China, the USA, the European Union and Turkey. The development of cooperation between the Central Asian states with these countries is explained by their desire to get the maximum benefi t from all external partners, they consider it pragmatic not to refuse any forms of partnership that they are off ered. Beijing has not yet changed its policy towards the countries of Central Asia and adheres to the previous strategy: emphasis on the economy, non-interference in internal aff airs and the formation of a positive image of the country. At the same time, China is interested in the functioning of existing transport and logistics routes, stable economic development and political stability of the region. Since the early 1900s, Turkey has been trying to play the role of the leader of the Turkic community; it was the fi rst of all countries in the world to recognize the independence of the countries of Central Asia (CA). However, interaction within the framework of the Turkic Council, created by Turkey in 2009, which includes most of the Central Asian countries, takes place largely in a cultural and humanitarian vein. The echo of Western sanctions could not but aff ect the Central Asian countries, since they traditionally have close and intensive economic ties with Russia, including through integration associations (CIS and the EAEU to the CSTO) and fi nancial institutions. Against the backdrop of US and EU pressure on the elites of the Central Asian countries, Eurasian integration with Russia and China does not allow them to succumb to provocations from the West.
Japan's foreign policy in the settlement of territorial disputes
Authors:   Diplomatic Academy of the Russian MFA, Krasnodar, Sholkova M. A.
Published: June 2023

Territorial disputes are a key element of Japanese security, directly aff ecting Tokyo's relations with all three of its closest neighbors: China, Russia and South Korea. Because of its complex history of repeated invasions as well as militaristic expansion, Japan has accumulated a tangled legacy of confl icts and disputes with its neighbors over the three contiguous territories, namely Senkaku, Dokdo, and the Kuril Islands, claiming or disputing sovereignty over them. The disputes discussed in the article are a direct result of Japan's involvement in World War II and the often ambiguous language used in treaties and other documents signed at the end of it. The article presents Tokyo's position based on Japanese documents and the positions of Beijing, Seoul and Moscow based on the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Declaration and the San Francisco Peace Treaty. The author illustrated her arguments with maps. During the analysis physiographic and historical approaches were used. The author's examination of these disputes provides a clear picture of how the changing security environment has aff ected the position of Japan and its neighbors over time. In the 2000s, Tokyo introduced a special term — territorial diplomacy "redogayko" which goal was international recognition of the legitimacy of Japanese sovereignty over disputed territories. The Ministry of Foreign Aff airs of Japan conducts an active policy to inform the world community about the rights of Tokyo to the Senkaku Islands, Takeshima, and the socalled "Northern Territories". During the analysis of the positions of the concerned countries the author concludes that Japan successfully defends the ownership of the Senkaku Islands, but so far has no proper results with Dokdo and the Kuril Islands. Russia's attitude to these disputes cannot be passive. First, Moscow is a direct party to one of them. Second, South Korea and China are basing their arguments on Japan's imperial past and, like Russia, on World War II documents.

The article focuses on a captivating period in the history of Russia-Angola relations when UNITA, a military and political group headed by Jonas Savimbi, mounted a military mutiny in Luanda, the country’s capital, and other major cities to seize power by force in anticipation of its defeat in the 1992 general election. It is during these troubled days that the government troops from the People’s Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FAPLA) demonstrated their courage, military excellence and political judgement. The same applied to the special forces and the country’s political leadership who had all benefi ted from many years of training by Soviet and later Russian military instructors and political mentors. The article presents the views of its authors who were directly involved in these events, finding themselves at the centre of the standoff between UNITA and the ruling MPLA-Labour Party. All the agencies and services in the Embassy coordinated their actions on the Embassy premises, as well as across various parts of the city. By doing so, they succeeded in providing the Ambassador with updates from various sources, enabling the mission to report the developments in the country to Moscow in real time. The article stresses the need to ensure that staff members at Russian missions abroad are ready to face challenging and non-standard circumstances that may occur during government coups or in other extraordinary situations in a given country.

La calidad en el sistema educativo crea condiciones para una instrucción integral, accesible y duradera. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la calidad educativa en instituciones de educación básica regular. Se fundamentó en una revisión sistemática de literatura, siguiendo el protocolo PRISMA para la elección de 25 trabajos en los principales motores de búsqueda como: Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo. Los hallazgos exponen que la calidad educativa no es algo que se pueda estandarizar, sino que se considera un objetivo, más que una medida del éxito de una determinada institución. En conclusión, se subraya la importancia de considerar la calidad educativa, política educativa y los problemas pedagógicos que impone el sistema desde una perspectiva que haga hincapié en una mayor dedicación y responsabilidad social, donde sus planes se desarrollen con la aportación de todas las partes implicadas en el funcionamiento de la institución.

Authors: Monk Kale , Benson Jacquelyn , Bordere Tashel
Published: June 2023

Higher education resources are increasingly limited due to declining budget revenue and other challenges. Thus, it is vital for Cooperative Extension to synergize efforts of disseminating education to the public. Promoting public scholarship in and beyond Extension is a promising initiative that can foster collaborations by leveraging existing resources in advancing the Extension mission. We highlight a new program aimed at encouraging a culture of public scholarship across academia. The program is intended to increase knowledge about public scholarship and awareness of its benefits to stakeholders, identify barriers to public scholarship, and provide concrete examples of ways Extension and non-Extension faculty can collaborate on research and programming efforts.

Authors: Hatcher Jillian , Cavinder Clay , Heaton Courtney , Figueiredo Lesli , Holtcamp Alex , Dinh Thu
Published: June 2023

Although much research exists concerning how horses can benefit people with specific debilitating impairments, relatively few studies have pursued what benefit horses offer people in the way of stress relief and improved quality of life. Study participants interacted with horses by grooming them and leading them through an obstacle course. Data were gathered through pre- and postinteraction surveys. Results suggest that interaction with horses offers a variety of benefits that may improve quality of life, such as increased confidence, lower stress, and an increase in caloric output. Implications exist for Extension programming.

The Idaho 4-H Teen Conference program provides youths with opportunities to develop leadership skills and confidence, explore options for after high school, and work with adults as partners. The conference has been modified to include subject matter and experiences that encourage teens to "go on" to postsecondary education. Recent evaluations of participants show that the changes emphasizing choices after high school have been well received by attendees. Teen Conference is a premier teen event of the Idaho 4-H Youth Development Program, and conference planners continue to adjust its focus to ensure that it will meet the needs of Idaho teens well into the 21st century.

Participants are introduced to healthful living concepts and means for promoting optimal aging and challenged to adopt healthful and empathic practices that will improve sensory, functional, and emotional wellness. The curriculum has been successfully pilot tested with a wide variety of Extension audiences, including 4-H youths, students, those who work with older adults, and intergenerational groups. A rationale for the program and a description of the curriculum and its materials are provided.
A Multiple Indicators, Multiple Causes Analysis of Farmers' Information Use
Authors: McLeod Elizabeth , Jensen Kimberly , DeLong Karen , Griffith Andrew
Published: June 2023

A multiple indicators, multiple causes, or MIMIC, modeling framework can be used for analyzing a variety of farmer decision-making situations where multiple outcomes are possible. Example applications include analyses of farmer use of multiple information sources, management practices, or technologies. We applied the framework to analyze use of multiple information sources by beef cattle farmers. We provide measures of how farmer demographics, farm characteristics, and risk attitudes influenced farmer use of information from Extension, producer groups, popular press, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Internet, and other farmers. Education and greater willingness to take risk positively influenced information use among the farmers we studied. Our process has implications for broader use within Extension.
Linking 4-H to Linksters
Authors: Newman Matthew
Published: June 2023

Advances in communication technology and associated social changes have provided opportunities as well as challenges for 4-H. Historically, the 4-H club model was predicated on a community's coming together to provide youth members opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of their respective projects. The paradox is that as communities have become more connected through cell phones and social media, face-to-face, person-to-person interaction has decreased. To stay relevant for the next hundred years, 4-H must adapt to this circumstance. This article explores the importance of leveraging technology to bring young people together, foster a sense of community for them, and instill self-efficacy within them, all through the 4-H club mode
Inclusion of Youths with Disabilities in 4-H: A Scoping Literature Review
Authors: Winney Jennifer , Xue Caryn , McNab Erin , Krahn Gloria
Published: June 2023

The Journal of Extension serves as a conduit for the dissemination of current research and practices within Extension and 4-H. We conducted a review of Journal of Extension articles published since passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Our purpose was to determine what practices, programs, and studies have occurred regarding inclusion in 4-H of youths with disabilities or special health care needs. The review resulted in detailed examination of 16 articles and revealed information about Extension professionals' attitudes toward inclusion, strategies and program approaches related to inclusion, and specific areas that need to be addressed further to increase inclusion.
Public Value and Partnerships: Critical Components of Extension's Future
Authors: Harder Amy
Published: June 2023

The future path of Extension will be heavily influenced by our willingness to engage in communities in ways that reframe who we are, what we do, and for whom we do it. The best opportunities lie in the areas of public value and partnerships. As Extension professionals, we must define our organization's most important public value, embrace the development of partnerships and coalitions, and make organizational decisions that support rather than stifle innovation. Success in these areas will increase Extension's visibility and value as a community asset.
