Authors: Hartama Dedy , Putri Adelia , Solikhun Solikhun
Published: December 2024

The low accuracy of anemia diagnosis with the classical K-Medoids method shows the need for alternative, more effective techniques in processing medical record data. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the quantum computing approach as a solution to develop an anemia diagnostic method by integrating the K-Medoids algorithm and Manhattan distance calculation. This research is an experimental study with a comparative design. The research subjects comprised anemia patient medical record data covering 5 attributes and 1 target, with 20 samples taken from the Kaggle.com platform. Data collection was conducted using data mining techniques, while the instrument used was computational modeling software. The data was analyzed using the accuracy comparison method between the classical and quantum computing-based K-Medoids methods. The analysis results show that the quantum computing-based K-Medoids method can achieve 80% accuracy, which is equivalent to the classical K-Medoids method, but with higher data processing efficiency. This research confirms that integrating quantum computing in the K-Medoids method can be an alternative in diagnosing anemia, offering the potential for broader application to more complex medical record data. The implication of this research is the creation of opportunities for innovation in quantum computing-based medical decision support systems that are more efficient.

Konya-Karatay Medresesi’nin Taçkapısı Üzerine Yeniden Düşünmek
Authors: Bilici Ziya Kenan
Published: December 2024

Anadolu’da Selçuklu çağının en dikkat çekici yapılarından biri de Konya’daki Karatay Medresesi’dir. Bugüne kadar birçok çalışmaya konu edilen yapının, Selçuklu çağının anıtsal bir tasarımını oluşturan taçkapısının yeniden ele alınarak restitüsyon esaslı bir çalışmaya konu edilmesinde yarar vardır.
Karatay Medresesi'ne ait olduğu düşünülen taçkapının, varsayımsal olarak, “Alāeddîn Camii”nin kuzey cephesinde yer alan ve Muhammed bin Havlan el-Dımışkî tarafından 1219/20 yılları arasında yapılmış mermer portal ile eş zamanlı olarak inşa edildiği ve aslî yerinin de geçmişte “Alāeddin Camii”ne yakın bir mevkide olduğu ileri sürülebilir. Bu bağlamda, mermer kaplı bu anıtsal taçkapının, Selçuklu Sarayı'nın bulunduğu “Alâeddîn Tepesi”nin eteğinde, Selçuklu çağında kentin dış suru üzerindeki kapıdan başlayarak, Karatay Medresesi ile Kemâleddîn Rumtaş Medresesi arasından geçen ana arterinin güney ucunda ve “Kılıç Arslan Köşkü”nün önündeki hendeğin üzerinde yer alan anıtsal bir burcun cephesine adeta emperyal bir “Porticus” gibi tasarlanarak yerleştirildiği ve geçmişte “Bâb’ûs-Sultan” diye bilinen Konya'nın “Sultan Kapısı” olduğu söylenebilir.

Authors:   Belgorod State National Research University, Krasovsky Alexey V.
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the role and place of the non-profit sector in the institutional system of civil society. It is emphasized that currently the number, size and authority of non-profit organizations are growing all over the world. In recent years, the qualitative development of dialogue between the state and non-profit organizations has contributed to a significant transformation of public institutions, which today not only respond to challenges in various spheres of society, but also become initiators of social change Thanks to state support, the scale and number of socially significant projects increase annually, the professionalization of non-profit organizations grows, and they begin to work more purposefully, in partnership with the state, to solve the most complex public problems. The level of development of non-profit organizations has become one of the important “indicators” of the development of civil society as a whole, characterizing the degree of manifestation of initiatives of its ordinary members and their participation in the implementation of social policy.
Influence of New Media on Generational Features of Youth Socialization
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Li Jianhui
Published: December 2024

The study examines the significant role of new media in the socialization of two generations of respondents, particularly in the context of changing value priorities. The interactivity and diversity of modern mass media have profoundly impacted the axiological worldview of the younger generation, especially concerning family relationships, health perceptions, career choices, and self-expression. This influence has intensified intergenerational differences in values, prompting shifts in the interactions between individuals and society. Through interviews conducted with 20 respondents of varying ages, it was established that youth are more inclined to seek personalized information through new media to fulfill their self-realization needs. In contrast, the older generation tends to rely on authoritative and relatively homogeneous traditional media channels, which contributes to a more stable structure of their values that is oriented towards family and social responsibility. The findings suggest that generational features of socialization are determined by differences in the value priorities of individuals, with the fundamental opposition between collectivism and individualism serving as a core element in this regard. This research highlights the necessity of understanding the impact of new media on the evolving dynamics of socialization and the consequent implications for intergenerational relationships.
Markers of the Neoliberal Tendencies in the Concepts of Modernization of the Russian Education
Authors: Golovanova Nadezhda Ph. , Lomakina Irina S. ,   Saint Petersburg State Forest Technical University
Published: December 2024

The article presents an attempt to critically comprehend the influence of the neoliberal ideological project on the educational policy of post-Soviet Russia. The authors elucidate the meanings of the ideologies of global capitalism, such as “knowledge economy”, “lifelong learning”, “human capital”, “individual freedom”, “competition” and their impact on the formation of educational policy. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate how these ideological constructs are integrated into modern concepts of modernization of Russian education. Particular attention is given to the emergence of “new pedagogical thinking” in the late 1980s and 1990s, which introduced the idea of child's freedom and the prioritization of their rights into the educational discourse. The article discusses the concept of personality-oriented education, which promoted the significance of the “individual self”, as well as the competence-based approach, which established competencies as leading characteristics of a competitive individual adapted to the demands of the global economy. The article raises the question of the place of personalized education in modern pedagogical theory and practice. In conclusion, the authors advocate for a critical reassessment of adherence to the neoliberal tradition in education to revive and strengthen the value sovereignty of Russia.

Authors: Juříček Ludvík , Hasajová Lívia , Fujdiak Ina , Procházka David Anthony
Published: December 2024

The use of firearms, their frequency, and legitimacy through self-defence and extreme necessity are socially relevant in Czechia and Slovakia. Legal firearm ownership for defence purposes impacts overall social security, influenced by factors like firearm legislation, cultural traditions, legal awareness, and violent crime rates. Understanding this issue requires considering subjective interpretations, even among security experts. This paper explores the theoretical foundations of self-defence and extreme necessity from criminal law, alongside practical implications supported by police statistics on violent crimes involving firearms in Czechia and Slovakia. It also includes a comparison with selected EU countries. The authors’ research uses a questionnaire to assess attitudes towards choosing defensive firearms, preparation for firearms licensure, and potential support for state security forces. The findings provide insights into legal firearm owners’ behaviours and attitudes toward defence and security. The study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of firearm use for self-defence, correlating training, weapon preferences, and willingness to enhance state security.

Published: December 2024

This paper aims to develop a holistic framework for the Maqasid al-Shariah in Responsible Investment (MSRI) index for selected publicly listed companies in the Malaysian capital market. To test the validity of the MSRI framework, a sample of 30 publicly listed companies from 2021 was selected using purposive sampling. The framework consists of eight themes with forty-five elements to evaluate companies based on their annual reports, sustainability reports, and public disclosures. The scores are classified into three categories: Shariah compliant, Shariah non-compliant, and Hajiyyat. Out of the 30 selected companies, the summary of MSRI scores concludes that twenty (20) companies were identified as Shariah compliant, while the remaining four (4) were classified as Shariah non-compliant, and six (6) as Hajiyyat. Overall, the results of the analyses show that the sustainability of the company and society has a higher percentage than the wealth preservation of companies. This research differs substantially from prior work by offering a novel approach that develops a holistic framework integrating Maqasid al-Shariah with elements of responsible investment. This study believes it can provide valuable guidance for formulating Islamic investment public policy for selected investment portfolios.
Navigating the economic tightrope: Exploring governance, public debt, and their influence on South Africa’s capital formation
Authors: Meyer Daniel F.
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the interconnected dynamics between governance, public debt, and domestic investment (also known as gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) in South Africa). It also highlights domestic investment as a key driver of economic growth, noting a consistent decline in investment since the country’s democratic transition in 1994. Moreover, this downward trend is exacerbated by excessive public debt, poor governance, and increased economic risks, discouraging domestic and foreign investments. The analysis incorporates two theoretical perspectives: endogenous growth theory, which stresses the significance of local capital investment and innovation, and institutional governance theory, which focuses on the role of governance in promoting economic development. The study reveals that poor governance, rising debt, and high economic risks have impeded GFCF and economic stability. By utilizing quantitative data from 1995 to 2023, the research concludes that reducing public debt, improving governance, and minimizing economic risk are critical to revitalizing domestic investment in South Africa. These findings suggest that policy reforms centered on good governance, effective debt management, and economic stabilization can stimulate investment, promote growth, and address the country’s economic challenges. This study offers insights into how governance and fiscal policies shape investment and capital formation in a developing nation, providing valuable guidance for policymakers and stakeholders working towards sustainable economic growth in South Africa.

Published: December 2024

The paper presents new results of manufacturing coatings by magnetron sputtering to improve the functional properties of joint endoprostheses. The antibacterial properties of Ti-Cu and Ta-Cu coatings deposited by DC multi-magnetron sputtering on Ti6Al4V alloy substrates subjected of gas-abrasive treatment have been investigated. The roughness of the substrate was measured by optical profilometry. The coating hardness and elastic modulus were estimated by nanoindentation methods; the adhesion characteristics were assessed by Rockwell test. Scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis verified the application of coatings with 25 at.% Cu, at thicknesses of 2 μm and 10 μm to roughened Ti6Al4V alloy. All coatings demonstrated sufficient adhesion, whereas Ta-Cu coatings generally revealed higher hardness, while the elastic modulus decreased with increasing coating thickness. Staphylococcus aureus strains were used for in vitro study of the antibacterial properties of Ti-Cu and Ta-Cu coatings. The largest zones of inhibition of bacteria S. aureus 23 mm were observed for 10 µm Ta-Cu coating thickness. The release dynamics of Cu ions from Ta-Cu and Ti-Cu coatings into physiological solution analyzed over seven days via inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, matched the inhibition zone growth. The Ti-Cu and Ta-Cu coatings of 2 µm thickness provided weaker antibacterial effect. The optimal parameters of magnetron sputtering of antibacterial Ti-Cu and Ta-Cu coatings on Ti6Al4 alloy substrates were selected. These findings support the potential of these coatings in developing endoprosthesis implants with enhanced antimicrobial and wear-resistant properties

Authors: Kausar Ayesha
Published: December 2024

This state-of-the-art innovatory overview essentially debates practical worth of three-dimensional printed composites/nanocomposites (especially carbon fiber designs) for aerospace sector. Recently, three-dimensional printing (additive manufacturing) has competently transpired for designing high performance space structures. The manuscript systematically frameworks fundamentals of three-dimensional printing approach, ensuing high-tech aeronautical carbon fiber composites/nanocomposite systems, and space components/structural applications. Amongst carbonaceous fillers, short/continuous carbon fibers were inspected as outperforming reinforcements for aerospace. Additionally, surface modified/composited carbon fibers with nanocarbons (carbon nanotube, graphene) have been reported. Accordingly, polyamide, poly(lactic acid), poly(ether ether ketone), epoxies, etc. have been documented as substantial thermoplastic/thermosetting matrices. Ensuing radical polymer/carbon fiber or polymer/carbon fiber/nanocarbon hybrids have benefits regarding low-cost manufacturing, structural precision, complex geometries, high efficiency, least structural defects/voids, superior tensile and shear strength/modulus, compression strength, interlaminar strength, wear properties, thermo-dimensional constancy, and heat stability features, under extreme space environments. Consequently, cutting-edge three-dimensional printed carbon fiber hybrids offered myriad of promising opportunities for mechanically robust (nozzle wearing, strengthened wing spar/ribs, resilient rotating components, interlaminar strength/dimensional stability) and high temperature stable (cryogenic fuel storage, lower earth orbital stability, thermal-dimensional steadiness, thermal conductivity) for aerospace modules. Henceforth, three-dimensional printing owns enormous engineering potential to meet aeronautical manufacturing demands by overcoming challenges of traditional techniques.
Evaluation and spatiotemporal evolution of green innovation efficiency in China: a two-stage value chain perspective
Authors: Li Minjie , Chen Yihui
Published: December 2024

As the global problems of environmental pollution and ecological degradation are becoming important obstacles to the realisation of sustainable development, green technological innovation (GTI) has received wide attention in the academic and practical communities worldwide. Commonly, the GTI process can be divided into two stages: green technology R&D and green achievement transformation. The contribution of GTI to economic development and environmental protection depends to a large extent on green innovation efficiency (GIE). Based on the panel data on inputs and outputs of 30 provinces in China from 2007 to 2021, this study applied the super efficiency SBM model considering undesirable outputs to evaluate green technology R&D efficiency (GTRDE) and green achievement transformation efficiency (GATE). Additionally, this study adopted the global and local Moran’s I index for spatial autocorrelation analysis. First, GTRDE showed a trend of “eastern > western > central > northeastern”, while GATE showed a trend of “eastern > central > western > northeastern”. Second, although GATE was higher than GTRDE in most provinces, the differences between provinces were significantly larger for the former than for the latter. Third, global spatial autocorrelation in GIE across provinces was significant only in a few years, while local spatial autocorrelation existed only in a few provinces. Based on the two-stage value chain perspective, the green innovation process is divided into green technology R&D and green achievement transformation. This paper also introduces a super-efficiency SBM model that considers undesirable outputs when calculating GIE. This is in line with the basic laws of GTI and development in reality. Thus, to enhance the efficiency of green innovation, governments and enterprises should raise awareness of GTI, enhance inter-regional exchanges and collaboration, and take a variety of measures to narrow the gap between regions.

Authors: Kolasińska-Morawska Katarzyna , Brzozowska Marta , Morawski Paweł
Published: December 2024

The modern world is socio-technological with a city-centric exemplification. Literature studies and reports have identified an empirical research gap. It relates to the poor identification of the relevant construct components pertaining to digital mobile technology solutions that support urban transport services from the users’ perspective. Filling this gap involved distinguishing a research problem related to insufficient identification of the desired application components as representations of mobile technology solutions in the context of the urban transport services’ uptake. The article mainly aims to diagnose and evaluate the use of mobile digital technologies to support the logistics of transport services from the perspective of Smart City residents in accordance with the concept of sustainable development. The specific objectives were a theoretical objective, defined as the development of a theoretical model for the creation and management of public transport services resulting from the needs of Smart City residents, and an empirical objective, defined as the verification of the impact made by components of the digital mobility solutions construct on the choice of urban transport services. A nomothetic approach was used based on triangulation of results obtained from mixed studies. The source basis for qualitative research was bibliographic data obtained from the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases, monographs, reports and other netographic sources. They were verified and analysed using the bibliometric technique of word occurrence and co-occurrence analysis (co-word analysis) based on critical content analysis. VOSviewer software was used to conduct the qualitative part of the study. In turn, the source base for quantitative research was city residents, who were surveyed using the CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) online survey technique. IBM SPSS Statistics software was used to analyse the data. The research indicates the necessity to use mobile digital technologies for managing urban transport services’ logistics in the spirit of Society 5.0.

Metoclopramide-induced rapid-onset psychosis in a child with methylphenidate use: a case report
Authors: İlçioğlu Ekici Gökçen , Şenses Dinç Gülser , Çıtak Kurt Ayşegül Neşe
Published: December 2024

Background. Metoclopramide, a dopamine antagonist employed for its antiemetic effects, can precipitate neuropsychiatric adverse effects, including extrapyramidal symptoms and, in a few instances, acute psychosis. Although there have been reports of metoclopramide-induced psychosis in elderly individuals, there is no documentation of such incidents in children as far as we are aware.
Case presentation. This case report describes an 11-year-old girl with a history of mild intellectual disability and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, managed with 10 mg of methylphenidate daily. She presented to the emergency department with acute gastrointestinal symptoms and was administered two tablets of metoclopramide alongside her regular dose of methylphenidate. Subsequently, she developed psychotic symptoms, disorganized behavior, and agitation. An extensive medical evaluation ruled out other organic pathologies, leading to a diagnosis of rapid-onset psychosis induced by metoclopramide. The psychotic episode, which lasted approximately two weeks, resolved with low-dose antipsychotic treatment.
Conclusions. Children, especially those with neurodevelopmental disorders, are more susceptible to a wide range of side effects. Therefore, this report highlights the necessity for careful pharmacological management. Additionally, this case represents a significant contribution to the scientific literature by being the first to document metoclopramide-induced acute psychosis in children to the best of our knowledge.
Canonical Versus Non-Canonical Passives in Indonesian
Authors: Udayana I Nyoman , Aryawibawa I Nyoman , Madia I Made
Published: December 2024

While many studies have explored passive constructions in Indonesian, there is still a significant gap in research focusing on distinguishing passive clauses and categorizing them into canonical and non-canonical forms. This study aims to address this gap by identifying different types of passive clauses in Indonesian and classifying them into these two categories. The primary objectives are to establish clear criteria for validating the existence of canonical and non-canonical passive forms and to provide evidence supporting their distinction. To achieve these aims, we first analyze markers on Indonesian verbs, particularly the prefixes di-, ter-, and unmarked (zero) forms. The data used for this analysis consists of naturally occurring expressions and clauses sourced from the Leipzig Corpora. This data is examined through the lens of the (non)-canonical theory of passivization. The findings indicate that the di- marker on verbs predominantly signals canonical passive constructions. However, there are cases where the di- form shifts to non-canonical usage, especially when the agent is obligatorily present and cannot be syntactically demoted to an oblique role. In contrast, the ter- form and the unmarked form, which can denote either a bare active (BA) or a bare passive (BP) construction, consistently represent non-canonical passive constructions.
Bidirectional Translation of Promotional Tourism Materials: Challenges and Strategies
Authors: Qassem Mutahar , Sahari Yousef
Published: December 2024

In today’s globalized world, the effective translation of promotional tourism materials plays a crucial role in bridging cultural and linguistic gaps, thereby enhancing tourist experiences and supporting the growth of the tourism sector. Within this line, this study investigated the translator trainees’ performance on bidirectional translation of tourism-related texts. A sample of 24 Saudi postgraduates specializing in translation participated in the study. They were tasked with translating two promotional tourism texts—one from the Visitsaudi website and the other from the Visittheusa website—representing typical features of both Arabic and English tourist discourse. The trainees’ translations were assessed quantitively and qualitatively in two scenarios: (a) translating from English to Arabic, and (b) the reverse based on three criteria: accuracy, style and clarity. The findings revealed significant challenges in both translation directions, particularly in maintaining style and clarity. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test identified statistically significant differences between the two translation directions, underscoring the inherent challenges in L1 to L2 translation (z = -2.372, p = .018, r = 0.48). The qualitative analysis further indicated that the trainees predominantly employed source-text (ST) oriented strategies, impacting negatively the style, clarity, and accuracy of the target texts (TTs). The trainees’ reliance on source-text (ST) oriented strategies resulted in translations that did not adapt to the linguistic and cultural nuances of the target language, which negatively impacted the quality of the target texts (TTs). The study concludes with recommendations for improving the trainees’ bidirectional translation skills in tourism translation.
Linguistic and Content Features of Article Titles Published in Local & High-Impact Foreign Journals in English Education
Authors: Arsyad Safnil , Ramadhan Syahrul , Hakim Husnul
Published: December 2024

Journal article titles serve as both the introduction to the substance of articles and incentives for users to read articles in their entirety, but different quality articles may use different linguistic and content features of titles. This is rarely investigated by discourse analysts.  The goal of this research is to compare and contrast titles in the English education field written by Indonesian authors and published in local journals with those written by foreign authors and published in high-impact foreign journals. Two hundred and eight article titles from five different Indonesian-accredited local journals and 512 article titles from five different high-impact foreign journals form the corpus of this research.  The analyses were done on the titles' length and their linguistic and content features. The findings show that the article titles in high-impact foreign journals are slightly longer than those in local journals, local authors use nominal construction and verb-ing phrase types more frequently than high-impact foreign authors do, foreign authors use full sentences and prepositional phrases more frequently than the local journal authors do, and high-impact foreign journals use topic-only type of titles more frequently than in local journals do. The similarities are that nominal and compound constructions are the most dominant linguistic features while topic-only and method categories are the most dominant content features in both groups of article titles. While the most important features of titles are probably the conciseness and preciseness of the information contained in the titles, future studies should investigate these aspects of journal article titles in the same or different fields.

The article presents the results of the evaluation of bee attendance of 53 of sunflower Rf-lines. The most and least bee-attentive genotypes were identified. The dynamics of bee attendance of sunflower plants during the flowering period was evaluated. A two-factor analysis of variance was carried out, which showed that the strength of the influence of sunflower genotype on bee attendance was quite significant – 35 %, while the strength of influence of a year conditions on this trait was only 4 %. Bee attendance of experimental hybrids in combinations with two most bee-attentive paternal lines (VK 23, VK 944) and two least bee-attentive lines (K3619, I6 13033) was evaluated. Paternal lines influence the bee attendance of flowering heads of sunflower hybrids obtained with different maternal forms. At the same time, there is no change in the order of attractiveness for bees in hybrids obtained with paternal forms with different degrees of attraction.

Early in the Lipetsk region and very early in the Krasnodar region, the soybean variety Svoya with a reduced response to day length was selected from the hybrid combination F4 D-12/14 × L-247 on early maturity, high productivity and reduced photoperiodic sensitivity traits. The soybean variety Svoya ma-tures in 93 days at the latitude of Krasnodar (45°) and exceeds the standard variety Barguzin in yield by an average of 0.32 t/ha. In competitive varieties testing in Krasnodar in 2020–2023, its yield was 1.90–3.09 t/ha. In the competitive varieties testing in Lipetsk at a latitude of 52°, the vegetation period of this variety averaged 105 days with a yield of 2.28–2.86 t/ha, which exceeded the standard variety Barguzin by an average of 0.35 t/ha. The average height of Svoya plants at the latitude of Krasnodar was 72 cm, in Lipetsk at a latitude of 52° – 86 cm. The new early soybean variety Svoya is characterized by reduced sensitivity to the range of day lengths formed at latitudes of 45–52° and high yield in the conditions of the North Caucasus and Central Chernozem regions of the Russian Federation. Such traits of the variety allow it to be recommended for cultivation in the Central, Volga-Vyatka, Central Chernozem, North Caucasus, Middle Volga, Lower Volga, Ural, West Siberian regions of the Russian Federation.

The biochemical composition of soybean seeds determines the use of soybeans as a source of food and feed proteins. In this study, the protein complex of seeds of soybean varieties bred at V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops was evaluat-ed. The mass fraction of protein was determined by the Kjeldahl method on a VELP Scientifica device (Italy). Amino-acid composition was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography on a Sevco ARM-1000 amino-acid analyzer (Russia). Standard methods were used in the work. The ratio of amino-acid composition of soybean protein by functional groups as well as the protein content in soybean varieties bred at V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops (39.35–42.93%) were determined. The wholesomeness of soybean protein was estimated on the basis of the content of essential amino ac-ids in relation to the FAO/WHO reference protein. During the research it was determined that all essential amino acids have score more than 100%. The biological value of the soybean samples was calculated and ranged from 71.20 to 79.10 %. The ratio of differences in amino acid composition varied from 20.90 to 28.80%. The utility coefficient of the amino acid composition of soybean seed protein differed slightly among varieties (0.68-0.72 fractions of unit). The best ratio of qualitative characteristics of the protein complex was observed in the variety Puma.

В статье исследован процесс влияния нанокомпозиций физиологически активных веществ на основе трис-малоната фуллерена С60 (C60-tm) и рекомбинантного гибридного белка с тиониновым фрагментом (тионина) на растения карликовых сортов томата Наташа и Тимоша из коллекции Федерального государственного бюджетного научного учреждения «Федеральный научный центр овощеводства» (ФГБНУ ФНЦО). Растения выращены в регулируемых благоприятных условиях интенсивной светокультуры методом малообъёмной панопоники с использованием в качестве аналога почвы торфяного субстрата (Агробалт C). Продолжительность светового периода составляла 16 часов, облученность растений – 85–90 Вт м–2 в области фотосинтетически активной радиации (ФАР). Для трехкратной некорневой обработки в период бутонизации и цветения растений использованы моно- и смешанные растворы соединений C60-tm (0,001–0,1 мг л–1) и тионина (0,0001–0,01 мг л–1) в подобранных на основе предыдущих экспериментов наиболее благоприятных для растений диапазонах концентраций. Соотношение действующих веществ в смешанном растворе тионин:C60-tm ‒ 1:10. В результате проведенных исследований установлено положительное влияние некорневой обработки растворами указанных выше соединений в определенных концентрациях на физиологическое состояние, рост, продуктивность растений томата и качество растительной продукции. Выявлены сортовые особенности в реакции растений томата на некорневое воздействие тестируемыми веществами. По итогам анализа комплекса полученных данных сделан вывод о том, что при некорневой обработке для растений томата сорта Наташа более эффективны монораствор С60-tm 0,1 мг л–1; смешанные растворы С60-tm 0,1 мг л–1 с тионином 0,01 мг л–1 и С60-tm 0,01 мг л–1 с тионином 0,001 мг л–1, а для растений томата сорта Тимоша – монорастворы С60-tm 0,001 мг л–1, тионина 0,001 мг л–1; смешанные растворы С60-tm 0,1 мг л–1 с тионином 0,01 мг л–1и С60-tm 0,01 мг л–1 с тионином 0,001 мг л–1.
ОПТИЧЕСКИЕ ЛЮМИНЕСЦЕНТНЫЕ СВОЙСТВА СЕМЯН СЕЛЬСКОХОЗЯЙСТВЕННЫХ РАСТЕНИЙ

Спектральные люминесцентные характеристики семян сельскохозяйственных растений представляют научный интерес, однако изучены недостаточно и не объяснены с точки зрения агрофизических процессов. Целью данной работы является исследование оптических фотолюминесцентных свойств семян растений. Измерения оптических спектральных характеристик проводились на дифракционном спектрофлуориметре. Были измерены спектры возбуждения при синхронном сканировании, а по результатам определения их максимумов были измерены спектральные характеристики люминесцентного свечения и спектральные характеристики возбуждения. Объектом исследования являлись семена зерновых, зернобобовых, кормовых и овощных растений. Спектры возбуждения семян большинства сельскохозяйственных культур схожи между собой и имеют два максимума (424 нм и 485 нм), определяющиеся комплексом флуорофоров (рибофлавин, каротиноиды, терпеноиды, спорополленин, липофусцин, лигнин, флавоноиды). В спектре возбуждения семян молочной спелости присутствует ярко выраженный максимум поглощения фенольной кислоты (362 нм), величина которого уменьшается в спектрах более спелых семян. При созревании семян изменяется главным образом математическое ожидание спектра возбуждения, которое увеличивается на 6–57 нм. У внутренних частей семян наблюдается несколько ярко выраженных пиков спектров возбуждения в коротковолновой области (262 нм, 273 нм, 287 нм и 360 нм). Люминесцирующая способность внутренней части семян гораздо выше, чем оболочек, а математическое ожидание смещено в более коротковолновую область, особенно для зерновых культур (на 40–104 нм). Полученные результаты могут быть использованы при идентификации семян, для контроля наличия повреждений, определения фазы созревания и степени измельчения при переработке зерна.
