Objective. Establishing the growth, development, and yield formation characteristics of potatoes in short-rotation crop rotations and continuous monoculture, as well as developing measures to reduce the negative impact of crop saturation in crop rotations. Methods – general scientific and specialized: field stationary experiment; measurement weight method; laboratory field; statistical mathematical. Results. The article presents the results of research on the peculiarities of crop growth, development and formation in crop rotations and monocultures, depending on their saturation with culture, fertilizer and the use of planting material of various categories.
The research established that potato plants formed the largest vegetative mass during the flowering phase. The fertilization system significantly affected the growth of the tops. It was noted that the maximum leaf area was achieved during the flowering phase, ranging from 19,600 to 36,100 m²/ha, influenced by weather conditions. No significant impact of crop rotation saturation with potatoes on the formation of the photosynthetic apparatus was found. It was determined that the photosynthesis net productivity (PNP) of potatoes increased with plant growth, reaching a peak during the budding – flowering period at 3.7–5.0 g/m² per day, affected by weather conditions. As the degree of crop rotation saturation with potatoes increased, yield decreased. On average, over the years of research, the yield was 22.8 t/ha with 20% potato saturation in crop rotation, 20.8 t/ha with 50% saturation, and the lowest yield of 18.4 t/ha with 100% saturation. Yield in monoculture was significantly affected by the combined application of organic and mineral fertilizers and annual replacement of seed material. Conclusions. The highest photosynthesis net productivity (3.7–5.0 g/m² per day) was observed during the budding and flowering stages, but later, as natural leaf dieback began, it decreased to 1.4–1.7 g/m² per day. The research also shows that with increasing potato saturation in crop rotation, yield gradually decreased: at 20% saturation, the yield was 22.8 t/ha, at 50% saturation – 20.8 t/ha, and at 100% saturation – 18.4 t/ha. The application of organic fertilizers in two-field crop rotations did not lead to significant yield changes (16.9–20.8 t/ha). However, the highest yield (23.6 t/ha) was achieved in monoculture with the application of 40 t/ha of manure and mineral fertilizers (N90P60K90), as well as the annual replacement of seed material. These results are important for optimizing agrotechnical practices and improving potato yield.

Purpose: To investigate the influence of drip irrigation of watermelon seed plants grown by different technological methods on the seed productivity, yield and sowing qualities. Methods: Field - determination of yield, biometric records and measurements; Laboratory - analyses of seed quality; Mathematical and statistical - ANOVA and statistical processing of data. Results. The optimal time for sowing seeds in drip-irrigated watermelon seed plantations was determined: the beginning of the second 10 days of May. When seeds were sown within the third 10 days of April or May, the yield of watermelon seeds was decreased by 37.8–51.6 kg/ha (16.7–18.5%, first period) and 61.5–69.0 kg/ha (24.3–27.2%, third period). Improved water supply of plants during the growing period due to drip irrigation contributed to an increase in the fruit yield and seed productivity. It was proven that the maximum yields of fruits (41.6 t/ha) and seeds (278.9 kg/ha) were harvested with a 1.4 x 0.35 m sowing scheme, plant density of 20,300 plats/ha, second sowing timeframe, and drip irrigation. The gain in the seed yield compared to the control (10,200 plants/ha) was 29.8 kg/ha (12.0%). It was found that, when watermelon seed plants were drip-irrigated, the yield of seeds was increased by 43.5–73.6 kg/ha (32.8–41.6%) compared to no irrigation variants. When seed plants were sown within the second timeframe according to a 1.4 × 1.05 m sowing scheme, with a smaller number of plants per hectare, the yield of seeds was reduced by 9.2–22.3 kg/ha (9.1%). The highest yield of certified seeds from fruits (91.9–93.8%) was harvested when seeds were sown within in the second timeframe according to any sowing schemes. Discussion. Our obtained are consistent with similar developments of domestic and foreign researchers. The high efficiency of growing watermelon seed plants under drip irrigation was demonstrated. Conclusions. The agrotechnical methods of watermelon seed plant growing, which determine the formation of fruits, their seed productivity, seed yield and quality, were studied. The optimal period for sowing seeds in drip-irrigated seed plantations (second 10 days of May, 1.4 × 0.35 m sowing scheme, and plant density of 20,300 plants/ha) was determined.

Problems of saturating the diet of humans and animals with protein are solved in the areas of food, medical, social and economic technologies that ensure proper health and longevity. Solving the problem of increasing production and use of protein resources is aimed, first of all, at ensuring the country's food problem. This is achieved by increasing the volume of production of protein resources at the expense of plant and animal raw materials. The aim of the work was to determine the effectiveness of the effect of extruded soybeans and peas on the metabolic processes of pigs and the quality of the obtained pork. Pigs fed on corn-soy compound feed had higher average daily gains, had significantly (P < 0.05) 25 % higher average daily gains and 8.7 % lower feed costs per unit of gain compared to the control. The animals of other experimental groups, which were fed wheat-soybean and wheat-pea combined feed, also had probably higher productivity compared to the control group. After conducting a physiological balance experiment, it was established that different intensity of assimilation of certain substances by the body of pigs depends on the structure of the diet. The highest biological availability of phosphorus was observed from wheat-pea compound feed. When examining the slaughter qualities of experimental animals relative to intact ones, the fat thickness at the level of 6–7 thoracic vertebrae was lower by 10.5 % in representatives of the fourth group and higher by 13.4 % in the second group. The data obtained after the control slaughter of the animals indicate a slight variation in the weight of the carcass from 10.08 to 10.59 kg, where the first indicator was found in the animals of the 4th group, and the second – in the second group. During the analysis of lard samples, a decrease in the amount of total moisture was observed compared to intact animals of the 3rd group by 4.5 %, as well as a predominance of representatives of the 2nd and 4th groups, respectively, by 5.7 % and 5.3 %. According to the indicators of the iodine number and the refractive index, no significant difference between the studied groups was established. Determination of the parameters of the initial melting temperature of lard showed its minimum value in animals of the intact group, and the maximum value in the 4th group, where the difference between them was 5.0 %.

The rapid development of information technology brings new challenges in maintaining public security and order. The Community Protection Unit (Satlinmas) in Tanah Bumbu Regency needs to improve its effectiveness in facing these challenges, in terms of ability, expertise, and knowledge. This research qualitatively analyzed efforts to empower Satlinmas members in Tanah Bumbu Regency based on Sumadyo’s theory, which consists of Business, Human, Environmental, and Institutional Development aspects, with an inductive approach. The research results showed that the empowerment efforts made have covered several aspects but still face a number of obstacles. Limited budget, lack of synergy between institutions, low community participation, and minimal infrastructure are the main inhibiting factors in increasing the capacity of Satlinmas members. To improve empowerment results, it is recommended to further encourage village governments to use village budget and funds, further socialize community protection, strengthen the synergy between the Community Protection Task Force and Satlinmas, and provide allowances and insurance for Satlinmas members.

Published: January 2025

Public order, peace, and community protection are under the responsibility of the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP). The high prevalence of violations requires effective enforcement of the Regional Regulation on Public Order, Tranquility, and Community Protection. This research was conducted to analyze the implementation and enforcement of Bandung City Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2019 using a quasi-qualitative method with an inductive approach. Bandung City Government has established clear regulations regarding the matter. Unfortuantely, several challenges resulting from inadequate facilities and incentives for regional regulation enforcers persist, particularly for members of the sub-district Linmas and Linmas task forces at sub-district and city levels. This research shows that the implementation of relevant regulation by Satpol PP is categorized fairly good. Several aspects in the implementation can be further improved.

ObjectiveEnhancing clinical skills and quality of dental residents is critical for standardized training. Conventional standardized training falls short in exposing residents to diverse scenarios and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, essential for dental trauma management. To address these issues, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University introduced an interdisciplinary problem-based learning (IPBL) model to improve residents’ professional quality and practical abilities.MethodsBased on the specific needs of dental residents, the hospital established a PBL framework supported by an interdisciplinary collaborative teaching team with a focus on dental trauma diagnosis and treatment. A comprehensive assessment followed the IPBL course, which informed subsequent course modifications. In a preliminary study, 134 students voluntarily chose whether to participate in the program. At the end of the study, the scores of both groups were compared.Primary resultsThe IPBL model significantly improved the professional ability of dental residents in the diagnosis and treatment of dental trauma, and obtained positive evaluations from residents and mentors. For the quantitative analysis, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed an overall improvement in participants’ scores after completing the course.ConclusionThis teaching model provides a new way for the standardized training of dental residents, and helps to cultivate dental professionals with high professional and practical abilities.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundUtilizing the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset to investigate the relationship between dietary quality, as assessed by the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015), and the prevalence of metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) among adults in the United States, our analysis revealed that an increased dietary quality was significantly correlated with a reduced risk of MAFLD in the American population.MethodThe NHANES dataset, encompassing the years 2017–2018 and comprising 3,557 participants, was incorporated into our analytical framework. Weighted multivariate linear regression model was performed to assess the linear relationship between the HEI-2015 and MAFLD. Dietary intake data were derived from two 24-h dietary recall interviews conducted as part of NHANES.ResultsFollowing multivariable adjustment, the weighted multivariable linear regression models demonstrated a negative correlation between the HEI-2015 total scores and the risk of MAFLD. The weighted logistic regression models revealed that each unit of increased HEI-2015 total value was associated with a 1.2% (95% CI: 0.9%, 1.5%; P &lt; 0.001) decrease in the risk of f MAFLD. Upon categorization of the HEI-2015 scores into quartiles, the odds ratios (ORs) for the association between the risk of MAFLD and the quartile scores of HEI-2015, in comparison to the baseline quartile, were 0.945 (95% CI: 0.852–1.047; P = 0.279), 0.834 (95% CI: 0.750–0.927; P &lt; 0.001), and 0.723 (95% CI: 0.646–0.811; P &lt; 0.001), respectively. When participants were stratified by age and sex, subgroup analyses showed a similar trend. This pattern was also evident in the smooth curve fitting (SCF) and weighted generalized additive model (GAM).ConclusionElevated dietary quality, as assessed by the total and component food scores of the HEI-2015, was significantly correlated with a diminished risk of MAFLD among participants in the NHANES survey featured in this investigation.

BackgroundCoffee is a physiologically active food component prevalent throughout the world, but the association between caffeine intake and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has been limited in extensive epidemiological studies.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate the association between caffeine intake and BPH in adults in the United States using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005–2008. Caffeine intake (mg/day) was evaluated based on a 24-h dietary recall. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the independent relationship between caffeine intake and BPH, and the results are presented as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), subgroup analysis was also performed.ResultsA total of 2,374 participants were analyzed. After fully adjusting for potential confounders, logistic regression analysis revealed that higher caffeine intake was associated with a greater risk of BPH (ORT3vs1 = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.01–2.27; p = 0.04). In addition, this relationship was consistently observed across different subgroups, including individuals with lower education levels, a poverty income ratio (PIR) of 1.5 to 3.5, former smokers, married/living with partner individuals, those with uric acid levels of 5.5 to 6.5 mg/dL, those with hypertension, and those without cardiovascular disease (CVD).ConclusionThis study is the first to find a positive correlation between caffeine intake and BPH, but further research is needed to determine the exact causal relationship between these factors.

ObjectiveStudies have shown associations between Body Mass Index (BMI), High-Sensitivity C-reactive protein (HSCRP), and depressive symptoms(DP). However, the complex relationship between them remains uncertain. The objective of this research is to examine the correlation between them in a substantial sample that is representative of the national level.MethodsOur analysis was based on the 2015-2016National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).DP was measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Using multivariable logistic regression analysis and stratified analysis, we examined the relationship between BMI, HSCRP, and DP. We applied generalized additive models to explore the non-linear relationships among variables.ResultsThis study included a total of 4834 participants. The results revealed that BMI (P=0.002) and HSCRP (P=0.008) were risk factors for DP. The relationship between BMI and DP (P=0.035), BMI and HSCRP (P&lt;0.001) were non-linear. The nonlinear association between HSCRP and DP (P=0.031), BMI and DP (P=9e-04) is significant in females when stratified by gender. No nonlinear association was found between BMI and DP (P =0.677) and between HSCRP and DP (P =0.439) in males. The results of the interaction test reveal a significant interaction between HSCRP and gender.ConclusionsResearch has found both BMI and HSCRP are risk factors for DP and the relationship between them was non-linear. The nonlinear associations between BMI and DP, as well as between HSCRP and DP, are gender-dependent.

Authors: Arroyo Juan Manuel , Soler Jose , Linares Rubén , Palmero Daniel 
Published: January 2025

Soil-borne diseases threaten sustainable agriculture, traditionally managed by chemical fumigants, whose use is now restricted due to environmental and health concerns. This study evaluates the biofumigation potential of Brassicaceae species, specifically Brassica carinata A. Braun., Brassica juncea (L.) Vassiliĭ Matveievitch Czernajew., Raphanus sativus L., and Sinapis alba L., cultivated in central Spain. Field trials across two growing cycles assessed biomass production, glucosinolate (GSL) concentration, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) interception, and radiation use efficiency (RUE). Biomass production varied across species and sampling dates, with S. alba and R. sativus outperforming other species in shorter cycles, while B. juncea and B. carinata showed a more efficient GSL profile regarding soil-borne disease control, particularly in aliphatic GSLs like sinigrin. Results highlight B. juncea and B. carinata as potent biofumigants due to their high GSL levels, whereas S. alba and R. sativus are more suited to early biomass production. The study also explores the chlorophyll content index (SPAD) as a potential field indicator of GSL concentration, providing a practical approach for optimizing biofumigation timing. These findings support the selection of specific Brassicaceae species adapted to climatic conditions and crop cycles for effective biofumigation in sustainable agricultural practices.
