Authors: Bushnev A S , Babenko S B , Bushneva N A 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Diseases are one of the main factors limiting the reception of high sunflower yields. The use of biological preparations for plant protection will allow to fight diseases successfully and improve the products quality. The article presents the results of research on the efficiency of application of biopreparations under the trademarks of BSka-3 with active ingredient Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas koreensis, Bacillus subtilis and BFTIM with active ingredient Bacillus amyloliquefaciens against sunflower diseases. We conducted the experiments in 2018-2019 on the fields of the “Berezanskoye” farm in Korenovsky district of the Krasnodar region. We established that biofungicides effectively suppressed seed infection. In 2018-2019, dry rot of heads (Rhizopus spp.), bacterioses (Xanthomonas spp., Pseudomonas spp.) and Verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae Kleb.) had the highest prevalence in the sunflower sowing: 49.75 %, 42.0 % and 47.0 %, respectively. The schemes of BSka-3 D + BFTIM I + BFTIM K and BSka-3 A + BFTIM B + BFTIM B showed the best biological efficacy against Rhizopus spp.: 37 and 38 %, respectively. The schemes of BSka-3 D + BFTIM I + BFTIM K and BSka-3 G + BFTIM Zh + BFTIM Z were the most effective against the bacterioses: 54 and 51 %, respectively; the standard and variant of BSka-3 B + BFTIM V + BFTIM G showed 32 and 31 % of efficiency, respectively, against Verticillium wilt. The schemes of BSka-3 A + BFTIM B + BFTIM B (2.65 t/ha) and BSka-3 + BFTMI I + BFTMI K (2.61 t/ha) showed the best economic effectiveness.
Public-private partnership in the reality of the global COVID-19 societal crisis

Abstract
COVID-19 generated a societal crisis, which manifests itself in the fact that ordinary people are forced to revise their individual values in connection with the coronavirus pandemic and state the fact of their discrepancies with the priorities of the state and with the prevailing values in society. At the same time, the destruction of societal integrity necessitates a restructuring of the relationship between the state, society, business and households, taking into account fundamental changes in the consciousness of society and in people's assessments of the quality of the state's performance of the functions imputed to it by society. Before COVID-19 the priority of functions and fiscal preferences of the state was determined in accordance with the three main groups, according to R. Musgrave. COVID-19 made serious adjustments to the priority of state obligations to society, reducing them to two: improving the epidemiological situation in the country and timely reopening economic activities. These sharp changes were expressed in the emergence of the term “epinomics”, combining the two main goals of the states’ strategies for fighting the coronavirus. Adequate forms of organizing public-private partnerships make it possible to optimize the combination of strategic goals of the state and tools for their budget funding. And this, in turn, lets it possible to advance further in resolving the global societal crisis in the post-COVID-19 pandemics future.

Abstract
The calculation of costs of obtaining planting material of winter garlic Gladiator variety using two methods developed in 2018 at the all-Russian Research Institute of Vegetable Production - the branch of the Federal Scientific Center of Vegetable Production, is made. The costs at different stages of growing winter garlic are shown. Thus, when growing winter garlic planting material from air bulbs in the Nonchernozem zone of the Russian Federation, the total cost is 370.24 thousand rubles, and for obtaining planting material using the in vitro method – 526.02 thousand rubles. The cost of one multi-clove bulb is 35.29 rubles and 52.6 rubles, respectively. The use of in vitro method allows obtaining planting material free of phytopathogens, which plays a very important role in reducing the pesticide load and greening the production of garlic for food and seed purposes.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
The Colorado potato beetle is a serious pest of Solanaceae crops in our country, especially potatoes. In order to reduce the chemical load in the field and prevent the development of resistance to chemicals in the Colorado beetle, this paper presents biological methods of protection using seasonal colonization by the predatory shield bug Picromerus and treatments with plant extract of amaranth of the Valentine variety (which, along with limiting the nutrition of the larvae of the Colorado beetle, stimulates growth and leads to an increase in the photosynthetic activity of protected plants). Additional treatment with amaranth extracts is recommended during the flowering period, which is critical for potatoes. Damage to potato leaves by Colorado potato larvae during this period can lead to significant decrease in productivity.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
The features of the elemental composition of seeds (stems) of beet (Beta vulgaris L. var. conditiva Alef.) of three varieties of selection of ARRIVG – branch of FSBSI FSCVG. The largest share of mineral elements is potassium (more than 1% of dry matter), as well as calcium, sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus (more than 0.4-0.5% each element). The seeds of the Karina variety accumulate the maximum amount of potassium, calcium, chlorine, and sulfur. According to the content of sodium and phosphorus in the seeds, a variety of Zhukovchanka, magnesium and iron – Demetra is distinguished. Of the microelements, zinc and manganese predominate. A significant variability in the accumulation of elements by seeds of different beet varieties is shown. Significant varietal differences were observed in the accumulation of titanium, aluminum (variability of more than 70%), silicon, manganese, nickel, rubidium (more than 60%). The accumulation of sulfur, chromium, lead, zirconium, and zinc is more stable in varieties. It is noted that when seeds germinate in the seed skin, the content of sodium and chlorine increases sharply (by 3.4-7 times) in comparison with the original seeds.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Currently, Russia is one of the top five countries in terms of onion cultivation areas. It should be noted that Russia is also the largest importer of onions. Onion production in agricultural organizations and farms is increasing. High consumer demand and relatively low resource costs allow classifying this area of management as the most profitable and easy types of agribusiness. The paper shows the need to increase the economic efficiency of onion production in the central part of the Russian Federation. The necessary volume for import substitution is calculated. It is economically justified to use the technology of sowing onion seeds 90+50 cm in comparison with the traditional technology. The highest yield was obtained when seeding with an experimental machine at a seeding rate of 20 million units/ha.

Authors: Budarina G A , Akulov A S , Glazova Z I 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
The paper presents the results of two and three years of research on the effectiveness of organic and mineral complex fertilizers and their combination with protectants for pre-sowing treatment of seeds and vegetative plants of new varieties of lentils, chickpeas and soybeans. It is established that the use of the above-mentioned agrochemicals as foliar top dressing is promising and agroeconomically justified. Grain harvest increases depending on the crop: lentils - from 0.22 to 0.39 t/ha, chickpeas – from 0.2 to 0.61 t/ha, soybeans – from 0.18 to 0.24 t/ha providing income from 450 to 15860 thousand rubles/ha with the payback of fertilizers spent by grain, which is significantly higher than at applying complex fertilizers in rows.
It was revealed that promising technique in the cultivation technology of lentil is used for pre-treatment of seeds growth stimulator Alfastim at a dose of 80 ml per 1 ton of seeds, and for the correction of mineral nutrition of lentils during the growing season with the foliar application method we should use agrochemicals LLC "Polydon Agro" the return on which (rubles/rubles) by 3.0–12.2 times more than when applying fertilizers to the soil.
The expediency of pre-sowing treatment of chickpea seeds with a chemical protectant Scarlet, ME in combination with non-root top dressing with multicomponent mineral fertilizers of the Ultramag Combi type in the phase of 6-7 leaves of the crop providing effective protection against seed and soil infection and increasing (by 0.53-0.61 t/ha) grain yield was reliably established.
It is shown that the use of the growth stimulator Alfastim in the processing of soybean seeds at a dose of 50 ml per 1 ton and the microfertilizer Polydon BIO in the budding phase at a dose of 1 l/ha provides a higher productivity of soybean plants with a level of profitability of 228-234% at low costs.
Effect of probiotic cultures of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain on the livability of broiler chickens
Authors: Koshchaev I A , Mezinova K V , Ryadinskaya A A 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Under industrial conditions, broiler chickens are constantly exposed to stressors that can increase their susceptibility to intestinal diseases, leading to reduced productivity, immune suppression, and increased mortality. Antibiotics are widely used to maintain and improve productivity in such conditions. However, in recent years, there has been a tightening of rules on the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry in order to stop them from entering food for people, as well as in connection with the emergence of strains of pathogenic bacteria that have developed resistance to a wide range of antibiotics, which pose a danger to human health and life. In this regard, manufacturers are searching for alternatives to antibiotics. The range of potential substitutes is very wide. One of the most promising groups is probiotics. In the course of the study, it was found that low-protein diets (with a low protein content, but balanced by the amino acid profile) can unlock the potential of probiotic cultures of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain and, as a result, increase the livability of broiler chickens. The maximum livability index of 94.5% was observed in group 4, which received a low-protein diet using probiotic cultures of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain.

Abstract
Yoga is a healthy practice that originated from India, to rejuvenate a man in his physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. Moving with the brisk technology advancements, there is a vast opportunity for computational probing in all social domains. But still, the utilization of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for applying to an interdisciplinary domain like yoga is quite challenging. In this work, a system that recognizes a yoga posture from an image or a frame of a video has been developed with the help of deep learning techniques like convolutional neural networks (CNN) and transfer learning. We have considered images of 10 different asanas for training the model as well as evaluating the prediction accuracy. The prediction model backed with transfer learning shows promising results with 85% prediction accuracy and this system can be considered as an initial step to build an automated yoga image and video analysis tool.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Infrastructure as a service offered by the cloud computing is one of the most important service. It allows physical machines to get virtualized by creating many instances of virtual machines. Mapping virtual machines on physical machine has become the major challenge in cloud data centres. The dynamic virtual machine placement methods are used to solve this issue with objectives like maximizing the resource utilization, minimizing the energy consumption and maximizing the scalability of data centres. In this paper a virtual machine placement-based bin packaging algorithm is proposed and analysed with four different fitness strategies to obtain the optimal solution. The unimodal (Sphere, Step) and multimodal (Graywang and Rastridge) benchmark functions are used with proposed algorithm for the analysis and obtain the quantitative measurements. The results show that optimizing the mass of particles using the best fitting strategy reduces the energy consumption, resource utilization and improved the scalability of data centres.

Authors: Tisha Tahmina Akter , Shibly Mir Moynuddin Ahmed 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Blockchain is one of the breakout technologies of the 21st century and it is destined to rule the field of cybersecurity. Eventually, all applications and software will adopt blockchain for being the most secure technology ever existed. Unlike other fields of computer science, blockchain too has functional and non-functional requirements (NFRs). As it is an emerging technology, Blockchain’s non-functional requirements are yet to be well-defined. From requirements engineering perspectives, the NFRs for blockchain should be well-established. In this study, some of the major non-functional requirements of blockchain are thoroughly analyzed. And, challenges of NFRs for blockchain and new research directions have been proposed. Five non-functional requirements challenges are presented-lack of knowledge about NFRs for blockchain, the necessity of feasibility analysis, integration with software engineering, NFRs measurement metrics, and its formal language representation. Based on those challenges, four new research directions have also been proposed. If those challenges are dealt with properly, the world will surely march towards a safer future in terms of cybersecurity.

Abstract
X-ray absorption spectroscopy is applied to investigate relationships between hierarchical organization of the skeleton and nanostructure of femoral bone in knee compartments and to understand the osteoarthritis (OA) related changes at the subcellular level. Our focus is on local electronic and atomic and molecular architectonics of the medial and lateral condyles of the femur resected during total knee arthroplasty in patients with medial compartmental knee OA. The element-specific and site-dependent peculiarities in spectral distributions of oscillator strength for core-to-valence transitions are revealed. The near Ca 2p and O 1s edges x-ray absorption fine structure (Ca 2p and O 1s NEXAFS) spectra of the saw cuts demonstrate substantial redistributions in intact and OA damaged areas on the proximal side, and on the proximal and distal sides of the samples. Examining the O 1s NEXAFS spectra new chemical bonds are revealed on the proximal surface in the OA areas. Strong intra-atomic intershell Ca2+ 2

interaction specifies the great similarity of the Ca 2p NEXAFS spectra. Their analysis performed in combination with the x-ray photoelectron data has demonstrated the formation of non-apatite calcium in the OA areas of the samples. It is shown that NEXAFS spectroscopy is a powerful tool for deeper understanding relationship between hierarchical skeletal organization and nanostructure of native bone. Perspectives for development of novel methods for medical imaging and diagnosis of subchondral bone at the nanolevel are discussed.
Browning of White Adipocytes in Fat Grafts Associated With Higher Level of Necrosis and Type 2 Macrophage Recruitment
Authors: Liu Tong , Fu Su , Wang Qian , Cheng Hao , Mu Dali , Luan Jie 
Published: March 2021

Abstract

Background
Induced browning adipocytes were assumed less viable and more prone to necrosis for their hypermetabolic property. A previous study showed that browning of adipocytes was more evident in fat grafts with necrosis in humans.

Objectives
The authors aimed to estimate whether fat transfer–induced browning biogenesis was associated with necrosis and its potential inflammation mechanisms in murine models.

Methods
Human subcutaneous adipose from thigh or abdomen of 5 patients via liposuction was injected in 100 µL or 500 µL (n = 20 per group) into the dorsal flank of 6- to 8-week-old female nude mice fed with normal chow diet and harvested after 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Control groups did not receive any grafting procedures (sham operation), where lipoaspirates were analyzed immediately after harvest. Histology and electronic microscopy, immunological analyses of browning markers, necrosis marker, and type I/II macrophages markers in mice were performed.

Results
Histology and electronic microscopy showed browning adipocytes in fat grafts with a higher level of necrosis (0.435 ± 0.017 pg/mL for cleaved caspase-3, **P &lt; 0.01), IL-6 (749.0 ± 134.1 pg/mL,***P &lt; 0.001) and infiltration of type 2 macrophage profiles in mice (twofold increase, *P &lt; 0.05).

Conclusions
Browning of adipocytes induced by fat transfer in mice is in parallel with post-grafting necrotic levels associated with elevated interleukin-6 and activated type 2 macrophage profiles, which promote browning development.
