Published: December 2023

The study empirically examined the performance of farm business school among cocoa farmers in Nigeria. Primary data were used for this study. The data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaire and 300 respondents were randomly selected through a multistage sampling technique. Descriptive statistics, budgetary techniques and multiple regression were employed to analyze the data. The results showed that the average age was about 54 years and the enterprise is male dominated. About 93.4% and 91.9% were married with nearly 91.7% and 89.7% had at least primary school education for the FBS participants and non-participants, respectively. The average household size was about 8 persons for both groups. Despite that there are no significant differences in the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers, FBS participants made more benefits than the non-participants in the area. The profit of the FBS participants (N616,297.53) is greater than that of the non-participants (N41,616.08) while the return on investment of FBS participants (2.48) was far more than double of the non-participants. The determinant factors of the FBS participants are age, education, experience, application of agrochemicals and utilization of credit while variables such as age, education, household size and labour cost significantly influence profit of the non-participants in the area. Based on these findings, it can be recommended that monetary policies should be made to encourage lending institutions to administer loans to cocoa farmers in FBS at a lower interest rate as well as the timely release of funds. This will encourage more farmers to participate in the FBS and also help in reducing cost on major agricultural inputs.

Dalam dunia usaha, mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM), pembukuan memiliki peranan penting. Banyak UMKM yang cenderung mengabaikan pentingnya pembukuan karena berbagai alasan, seperti keterbatasan sumber daya, kurangnya pengetahuan, atau kesibukan mengurus operasional harian. Akibatnya banyak UMKM mengalami kendala dalam mengelola keuangan. Kurangnya pemahaman tentang pendapatan, pengeluaran, serta profitabilitas bisnis bisa menyebabkan pengambilan keputusan yang kurang tepat. Pada pelaksanaan ini menggunakan 3 metode yaitu observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Adapun faktor yang membuat UMKM toko bunda tidak melakukan pencatatan pembukuan, yaitu keterbatasan pengetahuan dan penyusunan dalam pembukuan membuat UMKM toko bunda tidak menerapkan pembukuan pada tokonya dan faktor internal yaitu mengurus anaknya.

Published: December 2023

Aim of the study was to investigate the main components of the lipid spectrum of blood serum in patients with coronary artery disease, depending on the level of estradiol (E2), testosterone (T) and age.Material and methods. We examined 161 men aged 35–65 years (median [lower quartile; upper quartile] 53.1 [40.1; 59.4] years) with a history of myocardial infarction more than 30 days before inclusion in the study. Patients were divided into groups by age (35–55 and 56–65 years), as well as according to the content of sex hormones: T ≥ 12 nmol/l and T < 12 nmol/l, E2 ≥ 0.194 nmol/l and E2 < 0.194 nmol/l with double determination.Results. Of the studied components of the lipid profile, the greatest number of significant changes in men with coronary artery disease in different groups, depending on age and levels of sex steroids, had triglyceride (TG) level. In men aged 35–55 and 56–65 years with hypogonadism, TG concentration was higher compared to peers with normal androgen levels. In the older age group, relatively younger male patients, both when comparing a cohort of men with low T and with its normal values, TG content was also higher. In groups of patients with T level > 12 nmol/l and ≤ 12 nmol, when controlling for height and body weight, there is a statistically significant direct association of age in men of 56–65 years with TG concentration (r = 0.483, p = 0.023 and r = 0.549, p = 0.008, respectively). It was found that in patients with coronary artery disease in the age groups of 35–55 years and 56–65 years with E2 content ≥ 0.194 nmol/l, the TG level was higher than in men with normal estrogen concentration (p = 0.008 and p = 0.033, respectively). In a partial correlation analysis with control of height and body weight in men aged 35–55 years with coronary artery disease, a statistically significant relationship was found between the level of E2 ≥ 0.194 nmol/l and TG content (r = 0.566, p = 0.009), a similar relationship independent of anthropometric parameters was verified and in the older age group (r = 0.316, p = 0.011). In a multivariate analysis, the level of TG was determined by E2 concentration, the other variables under consideration did not statistically significantly affect it.Conclusions. Hypogonadism in men in each age group studied is associated with elevated TG content. A significant role in the development of hypertriglyceridemia in men is played by hyperestrogenemia in both age groups, being an independent, independent of androgenic status, proatherogenic factor.

SOURCES OF PERSONA LORIGININ THE STUDY AND MUSEUMIFICATION OF OBJECTS OF THE VLADIVOSTOK FORTRESS
Authors: Авилов Роман Сергеевич 
Published: December 2023

Доклад посвящен источникам личного происхождения, содержащим сведения о строительстве, ремонтах и эксплуатации Владивостокской крепости в начале XX в. В качестве примера рассказано о воспоминаниях генерал-лейтенанта барона А. П. Будберга и военного инженера П. П. Унтербергера. Привлечение источников личного происхождения (дневников, воспоминаний, писем, семейных фотоархивов и других) для исследования русских крепостей как минимум второй половины XIX - начала ХХ века представляется настоятельно необходимым. Их поиск и работа по обработке и публикации должны продолжаться практически непрерывно. В противном случае так и многие белые пятна истории крепостей так и останутся незаполненными.
The report is devoted to sources of personal origin containing information about the construction, repairs and operation of the Vladivostok fortress at the beginning of the 20th century. As an example, the memoirs of Lieutenant-General Baron A. P. Budberg and military engineer P. P. Unterberger. The involvement of sources of personal origin (diaries, memoirs, letters, family photo archives, and others) for the study of Russian fortresses from at least the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries seems to be imperative. Their search and work on processing and publication should continue almost continuously. Otherwise, many blank spots in the history of fortresses will remain unfilled.

Статья посвящена периоду становления советской власти в Мстиславском уезде (ныне Мстиславский район Могилевской области Республики Беларусь), с 1919 по 1924 гг., входившего в состав Смоленской губернии РСФСР. В Государственном архиве новейшей истории Смоленской области хранятся воспоминания участников событий на этой территории в указанный период. Они до сих пор остаются недооцененным историческим источником. Несмотря на значительную субъективность, эти документы позволяют почувствовать атмосферу времени, показывают отношение представителей разных социальных групп к тому, что происходило вокруг них. Они раскрывают неизвестные эпизоды политического и социального противостояния большевиков и местного населения, дополняют, конкретизируют, показывают с новой стороны известные факты и события, которые составили процесс становления советской государственности.

They reveal unknown episodes of the political and social confrontation of the Bolsheviks and the local population, complement, specify, show on a new side the wellknown facts and events that compiled the process of the formation of Soviet statehood.
WRITTEN SOURCE SAND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE ABOUT THE FORTIFICATIONS OF LANDSKRONA «STRENGTHENED WITH UNSPEAKABLE FIRMNESS»
Authors: Сорокин Петр Егорович 
Published: December 2023

Крепость Ландскрона была построена шведскими войсками в 1300 г. в Новгородской земле в устье реки Охты. По летописи в ее строительстве принимали участие мастера из Рима. В 1301 г. русские войска взяли крепость и разрушили ее. Остатки сооружений Ландскроны были раскопаны в 2006-2010 гг. в больших масштабах. Выяснилось, что она была регулярной крепостью, а не мысовым укреплением, как описано в документах. В основе ее была мощная деревоземляная платформа квадратной формы. Деревянная крепость в форме каре с восемью башнями, располагалась на ее верхней площадке и была защищена тремя линиями рвов. Платформа должна была стать основой для строительства регулярной каменной крепости с сооружением типа конвента. Такой тип замков был известен в Южной Италии с середины XIII в., позднее в землях Тевтонского ордена в Восточной Пруссии и в XIV - XV вв. в Восточной Прибалтике. Ландскрона была одной из наиболее ранних и крупных крепостей такого типа в Балтийском регионе.
The fortress Landskrona has built by the Swedish knights on the Novgorod Land in the Neva River in 1300. The Russian troops approached this stronghold and destroyed in 1301. Architects from Rome took part in the fortress building and it was strongly fortified according to the Letopis’. The remains of Landskrona have been excavated in 2006-2010 on big scale. The Landskrona was not a typical Cape fortification, as is evident from the documents. It was rectangular castle included a square earth-wooden platform in the foundation with wooden fortress with eight towers protected by three lines of moats. This platform should be creating conditions for construction a regular stone fortress with Convent house. This kind of castle has been known since the mid 13th century in Southern Italy late in the Teutonic order in East Prussia and in the 14-15 th century in other Baltic States. Landskrona was one of the earliest and largest fortress of that type in the Baltic region.

В статье рассматриваются различные аспекты развития российской фортификационной школы на рубеже XVI-XVII столетий. В качестве основного примера весьма широкой по своим коннотациям практики инструментализации европейских военных практик на «русской почве», связанных с течением такого процесса, как «военная революция в Европе» автор характеризует особенности превращения Смоленска в один из основных узлов обороны на западном пограничье Российского государства, который являются частью сложной системы фортификационных сооружений, обеспечивающей возможность применения московскими правителями элементов инновационной для своей эпохи стратегии мобильной защиты (применение аналогичных практик можно наблюдать и военно-политическом строительстве европейских государств лишь в более поздний период).
The article discusses various aspects of the development of the Russian fortification school at the turn of the XVI-XVII centuries. As a basic example of the very broad practice of instrumentalization of European military practices on “Russian soil”, associated with the course of such a process as the “military revolution in Europe”, the author characterizes the peculiarities of the transformation of Smolensk into one of the main defense nodes on the western border of the Russian state, which are part of a complex system of fortifications, providing the possibility of The Moscow rulers used elements of an innovative mobile defense strategy for their era (the use of similar practices can be observed in the military-political construction of European states only in a later period).

Статья посвящена музеефикации уникального комплекса архитектурных памятников - Ивангородской крепости. Несмотря на то, что реставрационные работы и музеефикация велись здесь с 1960-х годов, до начала нового века большая часть крепости находилась в плачевном состоянии. Ситуация начала меняться благодаря участию в международных программах приграничного сотрудничества. В настоящее время в крепости реализуется проект, направленный на реконструкцию одной из построек - Большого амбара, итогом которого должно стать создание пяти экспозиционных зон, отличающихся как по содержанию, так и по характеру и степени включения зрителя в музейное пространство.
The article is devoted to the museumification of a unique complex of architectural monuments - the Ivangorod fortress. Despite the fact that restoration work and museumification have been carried out here since the 1960s, until the beginning of the new century, most of the fortress was in a deplorable state. The situation began to change due to participation in international cross-border cooperation programs. Currently, a project is being implemented in the fortress aimed at the reconstruction of one of the buildings - the Big Barn, the result of which should be the creation of five exposition zones, differing both in content and in the nature and degree of inclusion of the viewer in the museum space.
