Anatole France, Oscar Wilde, and James Joyce
A Queer Genealogy of “The Dead”
Authors: Davis Michael F.
Published: April 2023

This essay re-situates James Joyce’s story “The Dead” in the alternative intellectual genealogy of late-nineteenth-century European religious skepticism, its reexamination of the historical origins of Christianity, and its fresh reinterrogation of the epochal transition between the pre-Christian and the Christian worlds. Taking a cue from Richard Ellmann’s suggestion that it was Anatole France’s “The Procurator of Judea” that inspired “The Dead”, the essay argues that just as France had written a revisionist story about the disappearance of Jesus from the history, so did Joyce write a similar story, about a failed Annunciation and the death of God. Further, the essay identifies Oscar Wilde’s Salome as a twin text of France’s and triangulates it with France and Joyce, showing how Wilde’s play had excavated this same territory and provided a recent Irish precedent for restaging a New Testament dialogue, for redramatizing the contest between female pagan voice and prophetic Christian voice, and for reviving a sustained pagan rhetoric of “the dead”.
Edwardian Hegemony in Tressell and Sassoon
Authors: Melia Paul
Published: April 2023

Ostensibly, all that connects Robert Tressell'sThe Ragged Trousered Philanthropists(1914) and Siegfried Sassoon'sMemoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man (1928) is that their authors lived in south-east England during the early 1900s and wrote about their experiences. Otherwise, they came from the opposing ends of British society, and their novels were written nearly twenty years apart. That the two works correspond in their portrayals of English society – one as invective, the other as eulogy – is revealing of coeval attitudes, especially of views and behaviour based on social class. Reading other novels and plays of the time shows to what degree concepts of what was socially appropriate held sway over Edwardian fiction.

This paper addresses a new mechanical rotor speed observer for sensorless control of standalone Brushless Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (BDFIGs) based on the dq axis power winding flux Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) observer. The observer is integrated in the control method for control the terminal frequency and voltage magnitude under various work conditions. The efficiency of the proposed observer and control strategy is proved by overall simulation results and confirmed by experiments. As illustrated without using physical rotor speed sensors, the sensorless control strategy integrating the proposed speed observer can keep effectively the frequency and amplitude of power winding voltage fixed at various rotor speeds and under various conditions of machine parameter and load changes.

This paper presents the study on the numerical analysis of splitting tensile strength test of steel fibre reinforced concrete under static loading. ABAQUS FEM software is used to model the test configuration for plain concrete and steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) based on the experimental investigations that studied the effectiveness of adding steel fibres of 1.5% volume fraction into the concrete mix. Four 3D models are created which are brick concrete, brick SFRC, stone concrete and stone SFRC. The numerical analysis results are compared with the published experimental results in terms of splitting tensile strength, tensile stress-strain relationship and tensile damage. The splitting tensile strengths from horizontal stress output are found to be slightly lower compared to the experimental results with percentage difference of less than 15%. While the results from using analytical formula also underestimate the splitting tensile strength with percentage difference up to 22% when compared to the experimental results. Elastic modulus from tensile experimental results should be taken as Young’s modulus of the model since it gives results that are closer to experimental results. The Poisson’s ratio that gives the closest results to the experimental result is taken as the Poisson’s ratio of the concrete and SFRC. The adopted 3D model captured reasonably well the reaction of the concrete cylinders subjected to splitting tensile test. Numerical analysis displays a strong correlation with the experimental results after proper evaluations and realistic optimizations of the governing parameters through extensive analyses.
Analysis of the Qur’anic Concepts of Mashriq (East), Maghreb(West), Mashriqain (Two Easts), Maghribain (Two Wests), Mashariq (Several Easts) and Maghreb(Several Wests):Observations in Quetta, Pakistan

In the current era,various scientific facts revealed by the Holy Qur’an have been scientifically tested and acknowledged by the modern scientists. Scientific knowledge of Earth and related sciences confirms and support the concepts given in the relevant verses of the Qur’an. For example, the Qur’an contains verses that reveal the concepts of Mashriq(east), Maghrib(west), Mashriqain (two easts), Maghribain(two wests), Mashariq(several easts) and Magharib(several wests). This paper pinpoints and put forward scientific analysis of these concepts of the Qur’an, compares and summarizes the pre-existing conventional tafaseer(explanations) with the modern scientific judgments and deliberates on their undisputable integrity. We analyzed these concepts, using scientific methodology, on a fixed location (x,y,z= 67.002, 30.1853, 1684 m) in Quetta, Pakistan. It was observed that the positions and timing of the sunrise and sunset change daily by shifting gradually from their winter to summer extremes and vice versa in a systematicand predictable manner. This leads to a conclusion that the Qur’anic words Mashriq(east) and Maghrib(west) refers to the spans of horizons between the eastern and western extremes of the sun rises and sets. The words Mashriqain(two easts) and Maghribain(two wests) refer to the two extremes, i.e.,northern and southern positions of sunrise and sunset on the eastern and western horizons, on 22ndJune (in summer) and 22ndDecember (in winter), respectively. The words Mashariq(many easts) and Magharib(many wests) simply refer to the numerous positions of the daily sunrise and sunset on the eastern and western horizons. These results are supported by relevant verses and notions of the Qur’an that have been further explained in various tafaseer, with reference to the explanations of Ib-e-Abbas (RAA) and Akrama (RAA).

Menstruation is a natural process that happens to all women. However, today's era of modernization shows a lot of confusion among women about the practice of personal hygiene management during menstruation. The problems that occur involve personal hygiene,care of female genitals and the use of products related to menstrual blood management.Therefore, this writing is carried out to identify hygiene management practices during menstruation that are organized in Islam. This article uses a qualitative design.In achieving these objectives, the study was conducted with data collection methods by document analysis. The findings show that the Islamic religion emphasizes the correct guidance and practice in the management of menstruation as it is closely related to health, hygiene and worship for Muslim women.Even the hygiene of clothes, body, private parts,and the use of sanitary pads are very important and need to be taken care of at all times. The implications of this writing are expected to contribute to all women to pay full attention to aspects of self -care whether before, during or after menstruation.

As parcerias público-privadas no sistema prisional como um reflexo do processo de constitucionalização simbólica
Authors: Portugal Daniela
Published: April 2023

O presente estudo trata da inconstitucionalidade das parcerias público-privadas no sistema prisional brasileiro, observandoos motivos não declarados pelo poder público e pelo particular na defesa desta fantasiosa cooperação, como se fossemotivada por um fim único de efetivação de direitos fundamentais, e não por interesses diversos e inconciliáveis. Assim,será abordada a questão da exploração do trabalho carcerário pelo particular como um evidente afastamento dosfundamentos de um Estado que se propõe Democrático de Direito, máxime da dignidade da pessoa humana, uma vezque se trata de uma nova e disfarçada forma de trabalho escravo, desenvolvida mediante a abjeta institucionalizaçãoda dominação do homem pelo homem.

Fluxos e dinâmicas do sistema de justiça criminal nas representações sociais dos operadores envolvidos
Authors: Porto Maria Stela Grossi
Published: April 2023

Considerando a baixa taxa de elucidação de homicídios na Região Metropolitana de Brasília e o alto grau de seletividade do sistema de justiça criminal - SJC, o artigo concentra-se na análise dos fluxos e dinâmicas deste sistema captados pela ótica das representações sociais dos operadores do direito na região. O pressuposto é o de que, tão relevante quanto conhecer as práticas e os números que apontam o funcionamento do SJC, é captar as representações que os operadores, na condição de atores do sistema, elaboram sobre ele. Se as formas de concretização das práticas podem ser responsáveis por sua maior ou menor eficiência e rapidez, bem como por seus efeitos - perversos ou positivos - na dinâmica geral do SJC , as representações construídas por estes atores incidem igualmente sobre as mesmas, orientando condutas que podem reproduzir, tanto quanto transformar ou re-significar, tais práticas. Em última instância acredita-se que o conjunto das práticas e de suas representações tenha desdobramentos mais ou menos diretos sobre o montante e as modalidades de homicídio que caracterizam a região. A hipótese que aqui se defende é a de que, para além do que apontam os dados - numéricos ou não - há um não-dito, e por vezes um interdito, que organiza práticas e que não pode ser esquecido ao se compreender a natureza das políticas de segurança pública em geral.
Cronologia dos "Ataques de 2006" e a nova configuração de poder nas prisões na última década
Authors: Adorno Sérgio , Dias Camila Nunes
Published: April 2023

O presente texto tem como objetivo reconstituir a cronologia dos “Ataques de 2006” a partir da sua divisão em quatro partes, correspondentes aos momentos em que eles ocorrem, e, em seguida, propor algumas reflexões sobre as mudanças sociais e políticas registradas nas prisões paulistas ao final deste período. O argumento central é que o evento que ficou nacionalmente conhecido como “Ataques do Primeiro Comando da Capital – PCC” não implicou ganhos para a organização e trouxe importantes prejuízos políticos para o governo estadual. Dessa forma, apontamos estratégias complexas através das quais as relações de poder nas prisões paulistas foram reconfiguradas de forma a possibilitar a construção de acomodações envolvendo o PCC e a administração prisional. Tais acomodações, por sua vez, produziram um equilíbrio que, embora precário e instável, tem até aqui sido eficiente para manter a “ordem nas prisões”. A forma como se estabeleceram as relações entre o PCC e a administração prisional adquiriram um caráter simbiótico por meio do qual ocorre o fortalecimento mútuo do PCC e da política de encarceramento em massa adotada pelo governo do Estado, gerando um círculo vicioso de mútua dependência.
Relações de gênero nas Guardas Municipais

Published: April 2023

Neste artigo, procuramos descortinar as relações de gênero no âmbito das Guardas Municipais, o que significa uma análise não das mulheres, mas de como elas são em comparação com os homens. Para tanto, optamos por escrutinar três dimensões: perfil profissional, condições de trabalho e assédio (moral e sexual). Os resultados indicam que a prometida igualdade entre homens e mulheres está longe de se materializar nas Guardas Municipais, dados o reduzido percentual do contingente feminino (em comparação com o masculino), a ausência de equipamentos de proteção individual específicos para as mulheres e as práticas de assédio que vitimizam essas profissionais em maiores percentuais.

Did the Universe Construct Itself?
Authors: Kauffman Stuart , Guerin Stephen
Published: April 2023

Nonlocality is now established loophole free. Therefore, in a choice between locality as fundamental and nonlocality as fundamental, there is no a priori reason to choose locality. If we choose nonlocality, General Relativity, String Theory, Loop Quantum Gravity, the AdS/CFT duality and the Holographic Principle are ruled out as fundamental. All assume locality. AdS/CFT provides a mapping from entangled particles with no geometry, CFT, to a spacetime geometry, AdS. If we start with nonlocality, N coherent entangled particles from SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1), then locality – spacetime – must somehow emerge from the behaviors of these particles. We report here that the particles of SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) are capable of collective autocatalysis. Via this autocatalysis the universe can start with no matter and no spacetime and construct itself. The autocatalytic process yields particles that break matter – antimatter symmetry – baryogenesis. Then by entangling they yield a power law construction of classical spacetime. This is a candidate for the unknown physics of Inflation. It also proposes a mapping from entangled particles with no geometry to a spacetime geometry.This hopes to build from the established theory of particle physics to the standard Lambda CDM model of Cosmogenesis.

Differential expression of CYP2F1 in cancer of the head and neck: oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2023

Head and neck cancers are an emerging public health problem and most are now thought to be caused by high-risk human papillomavirus infection (1-3). We mined public microarray datasets (4, 5) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily F member 1, CYP2F1, when comparing OSCC tumor tissue to the tissue of origin. CYP2F1 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the head and neck as compared to normal tissues from the head and neck. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of CYP2F1 in head and neck tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with head and neck cancer. CYP2F1 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human OSCC.

Published: April 2023

Path-integrated column measurements with a laser absorption-based measurement system have been used to detect, locate, and quantify methane emissions from a series of single-blind controlled releases with no prior knowledge of timing, locations, or release rates. System performance was evaluated against metrics defined in the Continuous Monitoring Protocol established by the Colorado State University Methane Emissions Technology Evaluation Center (METEC). This protocol allows more direct comparison of system performance between disparate measurement technologies and is transferable to any test facility. To the authors’ knowledge, this work represents the first time the protocol has been directly applied at a test facility other than METEC. This experiment differs from similar tests where releases were conducted from equipment units at fixed locations at METEC by instead conducting releases at random locations anywhere within the central 0.18 km2 of a 0.35 km2 unobstructed test site. The releases were much shorter in duration than those conducted in similar testing at METEC. The system detected 25 of 42 releases with metered rates of 0.17–2.15 kg h−1. The minimum detected emissions rate was 0.22 kg h−1, and the system demonstrated a 100% detection rate for releases ≥0.65 kg h−1 and average wind speed <5 m s−1. The test site was subdivided into 20 boxes (109 × 83 m each), and the correct release box was identified in 9 cases, another 9 detections were localized to an adjacent box, and the remaining 7 were attributed elsewhere within the field. The average estimated emission rate bias was −6.1%. The 90% detection limit was 0.89 kg h−1, while the wind-normalized detection limit was 0.44 (kg h−1) (m s−1)−1.
The psychological legacy of past obesity and early mortality: evidence from two longitudinal studies
Authors: Putra I Gusti Ngurah Edi , Daly Michael , Sutin Angelina , Steptoe Andrew , Robinson Eric
Published: April 2023

Background: We test a novel ‘weight scarring’ hypothesis which suggests that past obesity is associated with impairments in current psychological well-being and this increases risk of negative physical health outcomes associated with obesity. Across two nationally representative studies, we tested whether past obesity is associated with current psychological outcomes and whether these psychological outcomes explain the association between past obesity and subsequent early mortality. Methods: Data were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (n=29,047) and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) (n=11,998). Past obesity was defined based on maximum lifetime weight in NHANES and the highest weight from past study waves in the HRS. Across both studies, current depressive symptoms were analysed. A set of 10 additional well-being measures were combined to produce an 'index of impaired well-being' in the HRS. Subsequent all-cause mortality was examined using National Deaths Index records in NHANES and household interviews in the HRS. Linear or logistic regression, Cox-proportional hazard regression, and causal mediation models were used.Results: We found that past obesity was associated with greater depressive symptoms after controlling for current weight status and in analyses limited to those who were no longer classified as having obesity in NHANES (β= 0.17; 95%CI: 0.13, 0.22) and HRS (β= 0.20; 95%CI: 0.08, 0.31). In the HRS, past obesity was also associated with a range of current negative psychological outcomes, including an index of impaired psychological well-being (β= 0.16; 95%CI: 0.05, 0.27). Past obesity was associated with a higher risk of early mortality in both NHANES and HRS (HR= 1.31; 95%CI: 1.16, 1.48 and HR= 1.34; 95%CI: 1.20, 1.50, respectively). Depressive symptoms explained 6% (95%CI: 0.01, 0.10) and 5% (95%CI: 0.01, 0.09) of the association between past obesity and premature mortality in NHANES and HRS, respectively. Impaired psychological well-being partly mediated the association between past obesity and premature mortality by 10% (95%CI: 0.04, 0.16).Conclusions: Our findings suggest that there may be a psychological legacy of past obesity that is associated with raised mortality risk. Ensuring people with obesity receive psychological support even after experiencing weight loss may now be important.

Spurious prospective effects between work experiences and self-esteem: A reanalysis of a meta-analysis of longitudinal studies
Authors: Sorjonen Kimmo , Melin Marika , Melin Bo
Published: April 2023

A recent meta-analysis found reciprocal prospective effects between self-esteem and some aspects of work experience, e.g. job satisfaction, and the authors concluded that their findings were consistent with a causal model, where self-esteem affects, and is affected by, work experiences. However, the prospective effects were estimated while adjusting for a prior measure of the outcome variable, and it is known that such adjusted cross-lagged effects may be spurious due to correlations with residuals and regression to the mean. The present reanalyses of the same meta-analytic data found all prospective effects between self-esteem and work experiences to be spurious. It is important for researchers to be aware of the limitations of adjusted cross-lagged effects in order not to overinterpret findings.

Wisdom is the hallmark of social judgment, but how people across cultures recognize wisdom remains unclear—distinct philosophical traditions suggest different views of wisdom’s cardinal features. We explore perception of wise minds across 16 socio-economically and culturally diverse convenience samples from 12 countries. Participants assessed wisdom exemplars, non-exemplars, and themselves on 19 socio-cognitive characteristics, subsequently rating targets’ wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Analyses reveal two positively related dimensions—Reflective Orientation and Socio-Emotional Awareness. These dimensions are consistent across cultures and interact when informing wisdom ratings: wisest targets—as perceived by participants—score high on both dimensions, whereas the least wise are not reflective but moderately socio-emotional. Additionally, individuals view themselves as less reflective but more socio-emotionally aware than most wisdom exemplars. Our findings expand folk psychology and social judgment research beyond the Global North, showing how individuals and cultures perceive desirable cognitive and socio-emotional qualities, and contribute to an understanding of mind perception.

Rethinking a national classification of research and graduate education
Authors: Brasil André
Published: April 2023

Brazil adopts a classification system of research and graduate education that is key to its high-stakes national evaluation. Originated in the 1970s, the system is organised around evaluation areas that have expanded and matured not only to support the evaluation dynamics in the country but also to address the immense growth of the National System of Research and Graduate Education (SNPG). This study investigates the origins, evolution and current profile of the Brazilian classification, identifying that five decades of expansion led the system to become somewhat peculiar, especially when compared with international classification systems such as the OECD Fields of Research and Development (FORD) and the Unesco International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED). The investigation and the comparisons conducted reveal that the system needs to be revised. For that, the study advances to propose a scientometric approach to rethink not only the classification of evaluation areas but also the allocation of research and graduate programs within them. The methods explored in this paper show the potential of the approach, as the different analyses performed can provide evidence to expert committees in the challenging task of performing an evolutionary review of the adopted classification system.

The introduction describes the features of thinking, perception and analyzing observation of children with ONR, which make it difficult to correctly analyze and evaluate visual information. The research methodology is the task «Nelepies» in the version presented by R.S. Nemov. The results of the study provide generalized quantitative results for individual absurdities. Qualitative analysis captures the correct answers and reveals the mechanisms of children's erroneous answers. Qualitative characteristics of the analysis carried out by normally developing children and children with OHP (III level) aged 5 years when considering this image are presented: options for explaining inconsistencies (whether everything is drawn correctly) and options for clarifying answers (how it should actually be). For each option for explaining and clarifying discrepancies, generalized quantitative data and a quantitative difference between the results of normally developing children and children with OHP (III level) are given. All variants of explanations and clarifications are illustrated by the children's answers and presented in accordance with the quantitative difference between the indicators of children with normal speech development and GR (III level). At the same time, variants with a quantitative predominance in the norm, variants with a quantitative predominance in OHP (level III) and variants that are noted only in OHP (level III) are indicated. In conclusion, a sequence of established options for explanations and clarifications is presented in terms of the degree of quantitative difference between the indicators of normally developing children and children with OHP (level III) from a larger difference to a smaller one.

Zadavanje položaja pomoću koordinata traži da je osim koordinata definiran i referentni okvir u kojem su koordinate zadane. U praksi se koristi cijeli niz referentnih sustava sa raznim svojstvima. Referentni sustavi mogu biti geodetski, inženjerski, visinski, slikovni, projekcijski ili složeni. Koordinatni sustavi koji se obično koriste su kartezijev, elipsoidni sferni, afini, polarni, linearni visinski ili cilindrični. Kako bi koordinatne sustve povezali s Zemljom ili drugim objektima koriste se datumi. Datumi mogu biti geodetski, inženjerski, visinski ili slikovni. Referentni sustavi koji se koriste u praksi mogu biti jednodimenzionalni (1D), dvodimenzionalni (2D), trodiemnzionalni (3D) ili četverodimenzuionalni (4D). Mogu se koristiti razne projekcije. Sva ova raznolikost referentnih sustava i popratnih objekata ukazuje da je definiranje referentnih sustava složen problem i da definiranju referentnih sustava treba sustavno pristupiti.

Productivity and morphometric parameters of Myrrhis odorata (L.) Scop. seeds in the conditions of the Moscow region
Authors: Bukharov A. F. , Eremina N. A.
Published: April 2023

The research was carried out in 2018 – 2022 at the Experimental Production Farm “Bykovo” AllRussian Research Institute of Vegetable Growing - a branch of the FSBSI “FSCVG” (Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Growing”). The pilot site is located in the Ramenskoye district of the Moscow Region in the floodplain of the Moscow River. The object was Myrris scented, a representative of the Umbrella family (Umbelliferae). The genus Myrrhis includes the single species Myrrhis odorata (L.) SCOP. The Myrrhis plantation was laid out in 2009. The plot size is 8 m2, on which 20 plants are located at the rate of 2.5 pcs. / m2. Care consisted of loosening, manual weeding and 1-2 watering. Fruit harvesting was carried out at the onset of the first frost. The seeds were harvested by hand and matured 1.5 – 2 months after harvesting. The seed length (using a calliper), endosperm and embryo (using a microscope and a video eyepiece) were measured in four repetitions of 30 seeds each. The indices IE/S (Embryo/Seed), IE/E (Embryo /Endosperm) and IE/S (Endosperm/Seed) were calculated, showing the ratios of these indicators. Embryo/seed, Embryo /endosperm, and Endosperm/seed Depending on the year, the seed productivity was 13.6 – 27.3 g/plant, and the estimated yield was 339.1 – 682.0 kg/hectare. The seeds of Myrris scented had a fairly large size (16.75 - 22.23 mm) but contained a tiny embryo (1.24 - 1.99 mm), which was only 6-11% of the seed length and 7-13% of the endosperm. In comparison with other representatives of the umbrella family, Myrris scented has one of the lowest values of the index IE/E (Embryo /Endosperm). According to this indicator, its seeds should be attributed to the last fifth class. It is a tiny embryo that is one of the reasons for the phenomenon of rest inherent in the sources of myrrh scented. Furthermore, the seeds have a large percentage (10.0 – 73.3) of the phenomenon of germ-free, one of the causes of which is damage to the striped shield (Graphosoma lineatum L.).

Published: April 2023

The effect of the experimental preparation Vetom 20.76 based on Arthrobotrys oligospora on the biochemical blood parameters of experimental rats was shown. A complex of preclinical studies to study acute toxicity was carried out on nonlinear white rats (females) at eight weeks of age. Four experimental and one control group were formed. Animals from the experimental groups were injected once with the test drug in the range of test doses (5 µl/kg, 50 µl/kg, 300 µl/kg, 5000 µl/kg). The experimental animals were observed daily for 14 days. The animals of the experimental groups had positive growth and development dynamics even at the drug dosage of 5000 µl/kg. A complex of blood biochemical studies was investigated during preclinical studies in experimental animals. The primary biochemical indicators of blood serum studied during the experiment: total protein (g/L), albumin (g/L), globulin (g/L), creatinine (μmol/L), ALT (U/L), glucose (mmol/L), phosphorus (mmol/L), calcium (mmol/L), potassium (mmol/L), sodium (mmol/L) and total cholesterol (mmol/L). At the end of the study, we stated the improvement of indicators characterizing metabolic processes and protective function of the body of experimental rats as a result of using the drug, both relative to the original data and compared with counterparts from the control. During the study, all biochemical indices of the blood serum of the experimental rats in the studied groups remained within the physiological norm, indicating the drug’s safety. Furthermore, no undesirable side effects were recorded in the animals, even when using Vetom 20.76 at the maximum dose. Therefore, Vetom 20.76 was assigned to the fourth toxicity class according to SS (State Standard) 12.1.007-76.
Growth regulators and their effects on biological signs of pear
Authors: Matveeva N. I.
Published: April 2023

The research was carried out at the experimental site of the Caspian Agrarian Federal Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2019-2021. The object of study was the fruit-bearing variety Talgar beauty. Pear trees lived under control without processing. The subject of the tests was preparations of natural origin Amulet and Ovary fruit. The analysis showed that against the background of management, both drugs accelerated fruit ripening, most of all the Ovary drug. Experimental data were processed using the method of dispersion analysis according to B.A. Dospekhov. Records and observations were carried out per the Program and methodology of various fruit, berry and nut crop studies (1999). The soil cover of the site is represented by light chestnut, carbonate, thick and medium-sized soils with a humus content of 0.40 cm 1.02% in the arable layer. The ripening of the fruits in the Ovary variants occurred 7-10 days earlier than the control and seven days earlier than the Amulet variants. Only single leaves were affected by brown spotting in variants using growth regulators. The damage caused by honeydew and aphids did not exceed 12-16%. As a result, the Ovary drug stimulated earlier fruit ripening, and the Amulet increased resistance to critical temperatures. Joint treatment with Amulet and Ovary preparations provided the most significant marketability: the yield of fruits of the highest and first grade, the one-dimensionality of fruits. The marketability of fruits was 74-91%, and in control, only 66.0%.
