One of the main goals of sustainable development in agriculture is to ensure rational land use, which is still not being achieved in Russia. This is evidenced by the progressive processes of land degradation and the continuing decline in soil fertility, which is largely due to the miscalculations of the state land management. The existing mechanism of land management is largely characterized by inconsistency and the absence of elements that ensure interest in a favorable ecological state of land. The result of this is the formation of a number of serious systemic problems that pose a threat to the very possibility of ensuring rational land use. These problems can be solved by expanding the parameters of state regulation of agriculture; forming a system of incentives for land users that would encourage rational use of land resources; ensuring proper state control over the reproduction of land fertility, as well as preventing their degradation. For this necessity is to improve the mechanism of agricultural land use management, the essence of which can be reduced to the formation of a system of legal means that ensures the harmonization of economic and environmental processes in land use. The authors have formulated a number of priority tasks that should be solved in the process of improving the mechanism of land use management.

The article presents a study of the dynamics of the indicators of the yield of grain crops in Russia, taking into account the statistics of risk-extreme factors affecting the productivity of grain production. The review of scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists devoted to the issues of determining the main factors affecting the quality and productivity of grown grain products is given. The authors proposed to divide the natural factors affecting the productivity of grain production into two groups: static and predictable. The analysis of the dynamics of inter-annual indicators of productivity of grain production in Russia, as well as the main meteorological factors affecting it, is presented. The indicators of meteorological hazards for the period 2019-2020 in the territories of the federal districts of the Russian Federation were studied. It is shown how the presence and frequency of detected risk-extreme values of meteorological factors have recently confirmed the fact of climate change in general. This problem is serious for Russia. The authors put forward a concept about the possible redistribution of the geography of grain production in the world in accordance with climate change scenarios in the coming decades. The processes of redistribution of territories for the production of grain crops will also affect Russia. It is important to learn how to predict these processes for the Russian Federation, which has vast territories with different climatic conditions inherent in it. Identification of “sustainable” districts with the most adaptive conditions for growing crops in the face of climate change can reduce the level of risk when making decisions in conditions of uncertainty.

Authors:   Kazan Volga Federal University, Kazan, Russia, Iskhakova Gulia M.
Published: March 2022

The orientation of the modern management system towards strategic development and the creation of potential for long-term growth of enterprises determines the need to develop and apply modern approaches and tools in the management and organization of the effective functioning of the enterprise. Currently, one of these tools is controlling, the concept of which is designed to implement a new approach to the process of internal enterprise management. Not all aspects of controlling have found their due theoretical, methodological and practical solution, therefore, the concept of controlling has not yet found widespread use in the practical activities of domestic enterprises. In this regard, there is a need for a comprehensive study of theoretical and practical approaches to the formation and effective functioning of the controlling system, to determine its place in the enterprise management system. Formation of an effective model of the functioning of the controlling system in the anti-crisis management of an enterprise is a particularly important problem.

Authors: A.KA. Al-Btoush Mohammed
Published: March 2022

The construction industry nowadays faces several challenges that prevent it to be completed within the planned budget. the most effected challenge on the project cost is the variation orders, which became common on most construction projects. The variations in construction projects mean any change in quantity or quality of the project work. Based on various studies in the Jordanian construction industry it is found various sources of variation orders. Therefore, it is important to provide suitable recommendations to minimize variation orders during the project lifecycle. The aim of this study is to study the variation orders causes on the governmental construction project in Jordan. To meet that aim, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to locate and study the variation orders causes and its effect on construction projects worldwide. To achieve the study objectively the researcher adopted a structured questionnaire to gather the required data about the causes of VO. The collected data were analyzed statistically using the Relative Importance Index (RII). Based on the results of the study the critical causes of VO in construction projects in Jordan are grouped into main four groups such as causes related to owners, causes related to contractors, and causes related to consultants, causes related to unforeseen circumstances. The findings of the current study revealed that the critical causes of VO in the Jordanian construction industry are: unskilled laborers, inaccurate quantity take-off, shortage of human and equipment Resource, change of scope or plans by owners, absence of construction manuals and procedures , unavailability of the required labor skills , logistic delays , shortage of equipment and tools , technology changes , internal politics .Also, the results show that consultants are responsible for about 50% of the causes, 20% due to owners and unforeseen variations, and contractors are responsible for about 10% of the causes.
La escuela y la mímesis atencional
Authors: Larrosa Jorge
Published: March 2022

Trataré en este texto de explorar si hay algo así como una mímesis atencional cuyo lugar privilegiado sería la escuela. Si en la escuela se aprende miméticamente no sólo el qué de la atención, sino también el cómo de la atención, los modos de atender, y si eso puede relacionarse (o no) con la mímesis del deseo tal como ha sido elaborada en la obra de René Girard y en la de sus seguidores.

Para explorar las operaciones escolares sobre la atención usaré la idea de ejercicio. No voy a usar la palabra “deseo”, y dejo a los lectores lapregunta sobre si la manera como voy a hacer sonar la palabra “amor” o la palabra “belleza” tiene o no que ver con la idea de deseo que se maneja en los estudios miméticos.

Mi perspectiva sobre la escuela (compartida con muchos otros) se aparta de los discursos dominantes que la consideran como un lugar para el aprendizaje y como un lugar conectado con las así llamadas necesidades o demandas sean estas individuales y/o sociales. Mi perspectiva sobre los ejercicios (también compartida con muchos otros) se aparta también de los discursos dominantes que piensan las actividades escolares como centradas en el conocimiento y/o en los así llamados intereses de los alumnos. Ambas perspectivas las tomaré aquí como presupuestos y, por tanto, dado que no puedo desarrollarlas convenientemente, me limitaré, al principio de este texto, a señalar algunas referencias para los lectores interesados.

A partir de ahí, el cuerpo principal del texto será una presentación somera de la relación entre ejercicio y atención a partir de algunas tesis de Simone Weil.

Por último, y dada mi incompetencia en este punto, la cuestión específica de la mímesis atencional quedará apenas apuntada, quedando también como tarea para los lectores la decisión de su adecuación (o no) y de su interés (o no) para los así llamados estudios miméticos o estudios girardianos.
How Friendship Works in Higher Education: Inclusive Friendship, Mimetic Theory, and the Liberal Arts
Authors: Gruenler Curtis
Published: March 2022

If, as the social sciences argue, knowledge is socially constructed, friendship is the traditional way of talking about relationships that construct knowledge well. An analysis of the value of friendship through mimetic theory, in dialogue with the social sciences and with literary examples drawn from Dante, Tolkien, and Rowling, argues that institutions of higher education should emphasize the development of capacities for friendship through the shared pursuit of the liberal arts.

Published: March 2022

Under the terms limited knowledge of the kinetics of the processes of chemisorption of sulfur oxides, an approach to qualitative determination of the chemisorption capacity of limestone-based adsorbents is proposed, which allows to optimize the hardware-technological design of the sulfur oxide capture process at the design stage. To take into account the high cost of effective fine adsorbents, it is proposed to recycle part of the source product, which contains an adsorbent with a residual adsorption capacity. Dependences for calculation of economy of fresh adsorbent are resulted. To reduce the effect of CaSO4 ballast product on the efficiency of sulfur oxide capture and reduce energy costs for recycling, it is proposed to segregate the recycle stream into unreacted or partially unreacted adsorbent and completely converted into calcium sulfate, followed by recirculation of the adsorbent only.

Land Deterioration and Environmental Damage: A Postcolonial Eco-critical Study of How Beautiful We Were (2021)
Authors: Junejo Musaib
Published: March 2022

The paper tries to answer, how western corporations are responsible for land deterioration and environmental damage under the guise of development. It brings forth neocolonial forces into the limelight that have caused ecological damage. The study is guided by the postcolonial eco- critical model of Huggan and Tiffin (2010). Huggan and Tiffin assert the intertwined correlation among environmental violence, marginalization of the indigenous groups, and destruction of land by the neocolonial agencies. The findings are based on data supplied by textual analysis of the novel. The study reveals the ways in which oil corporations exploit the resources, contaminate the land, damage the environment, and cause economic inequality. It is a typical fictional study of neocolonial agencies’ ironic dreams of development and progress. The novel not only voices the environmental injustices and the disastrous consequences of Oil Corporation but also the cultural and social marginalization of locals. It has been suggested that western neocolonial corporations are the real culprits of ecological damage in Asia and Africa. Therefore, time is ripe for the world to reverse the damage and take a step towards inclusive and human-centered sustainable development.

The study was conducted to identify the socio-economic status and problems faced by the Sonali farmers at Wazirpur Upazila in Barishal District. A total of 90 respondents from 9 unions were selected randomly for primary data collection. The farmers and their farming were evaluated through the analysis of data collected in a pre-structured questionnaire. This study revealed that a maximum portion of the farmers were middle-aged (52.2%), male (92.2%), and had a secondary level of education (54.4%).  Most farmers had medium-sized farm (38.9%) and invested their own capital in farming (54.9%). Although major farmers had low experience in Sonali chicken farming, they had high management skills (63.9%). In terms of occupation, the highest percentage of farmers (38.9%) had a conjugated occupation of poultry and crop. Most of the farmers had their own tube-well (74.7%) and use sanitary latrine (71.1%). Nevertheless, only 17% of the farmers had good health condition. About 49% of the farmers had only one chicken house, and 87.8% followed the floor system for rearing Sonali chicken. Surprisingly, all the farms followed an all-in-all-out marketing system for Sonali chicken. Most of the farmers (96.7%) vaccinated their poultry birds and added coccidiostat (73.3%) and vitamin mineral premix (94.4%) to the feed. A major portion of the farmers identified the irregular fluctuation in the market price of feeds (95.6%) and day-old chicks (93.3%) as severe problem, followed by high price of feed but low price of meat (87.8%). A disorganized marketing channel was the next major problem faced by the poultry farmers (83.3%). Taken together, the Sonali farmers of Barishal were middle-aged; poorly educated, and invested their own capital for farming, and they faced a variety of challenges during farming and marketing their chickens. To enhance Sonali farmers’ socio-economic conditions and alleviate their problems, the government should take appropriate steps to provide finance and farm-based training, including modern animal husbandry practices.

A study was carried out to investigate the effect of different levels of Chhana binder on the sensory and chemical quality of Rosogolla. Therefore, two (02) types of Chhana binders in different percentage such as 3, 5 and 7% wheat flour as well as 3, 5 and 7% rice flour (w/w) were used to prepare Rosogolla to find out a suitable Chhana binder for manufacturing good quality Rosogolla. Based on sensory evaluation, the highest score was obtained from 5% wheat flour and lowest score was from 5% rice flour, might be due to wheat flour contain gluten. From chemical analysis, the protein and carbohydrate content among the samples differed significantly (p< 0.01) and the highest values were noted for 7% wheat flour and rice flour, respectively. The highest and least mean values of moisture content were recorded for Rosogolla obtained from 3% wheat flour and 7% rice flour, respectively. Among different Chhana binder, 5% wheat flour was found best suitable for quality Rosogolla making.

Semen production from breeding bulls used in Artificial Insemination (AI) program is of great importance in cattle breeding. Good quality semen has positive effect on the fertility of cows and heifers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality and assessed as the freezing ability of Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) bull with fresh-diluted semen and frozen semen. The parameters of semen characteristics included were volume per ejaculate (ml), percentage of mass motility, normal and abnormal sperm, and sperm concentration (million/ml). The highest mass motility was found in bull ID No. 4 and the lowest in bull ID No. 1 but the highest sperm concentration was found in bull ID No. 3 with lowest in bull ID No. 2 in fresh semen. Highly significant (p<0.001) positive correlation was found between mass motility and sperm concentration in bulls of ID No. 3 and 4, a negative significant (p<0.05) correlation was found between mass motility and normal sperm percentage. Two freezing techniques were followed in frozen semen production: Cork sheet freezing and Cryobath freezing with two freezing times 15 and 30 minutes were also applied. Variations in the motility of frozen semen by Cork sheet freezing with two different times were found significant (p<0.05) between bulls. Furthermore, highly significant (p<0.01) difference of motility by Cryobath freezing was found between the bulls. The highest motility after both 15 and 30 minutes Cork sheet freezing and Cryobath freezing was found in bull ID No. 4 and lowest in bull ID No. 3.  In the present study, variability in the potentiality of bulls (semen volume and sperm concentration) was observed and found lower than crossbred bulls due to small size of Red Chittagong, an indigenous zebu cattle of Bangladesh.

Stature and live weight are economically important traits in livestock species and polygenic in nature. Pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1) is a member of the PLAG family of zinc finger transcription factors which has a specific association with growth related traits in human and various livestock species including cattle. This study investigated the 19-bp indel (insertion/deletion) polymorphism of the PLAG1 gene and its possible association with morphometric traits in indigenous and Holstein-Local (H×L) crossbred cattle of Bangladesh. A total of 160 blood samples were collected from the aforementioned cattle populations whereas data on morphometric traits were recorded only from H×L crossbreds. PCR amplification fragment harboring 19-bp indel detected three genotypes II (366 bp), ID (366/347 bp) and DD (347 bp). The II, ID and DD genotype frequencies were 0.00, 0.09 and 0.91 respectively in indigenous cattle populations and the corresponding frequencies were 0.14, 0.43 and 0.43, respectively in H×L crossbred populations. None of the investigated morphometric traits had a significant association with 19-bp indel genotypes. However, non-genetic factors such as herd, year and parity had significant effects only on hip height trait in crossbred cattle (P<0.001). In conclusion, the identified 19-bp indel polymorphism was temperate breed Holstein specific and was absent in indicine populations that could be utilized only for crossbred cattle of Bangladesh upon validation with large a number of samples.
