Influence of chelated microfertilizers on growth processes and yield of table watermelon under agricultural conditions of the Volgograd Volga region
Authors: Galichkina E. A. , Nadezhkin S. M. 
Published: June 2023

Relevance. The Volgograd region is a region of risky farming. In the spring-summer period, the cultivated crop (melons) is often exposed to stress factors: spring frosts, abnormal heat, temperature changes, which negatively affects the growth and development of plants. In this regard, it is necessary to develop new adaptive agrotechnical methods for the cultivation of melons and gourds in order to obtain stable yields of high quality.Material and methodology. The object of research is watermelon, variety Meteor. Water-soluble fertilizers were studied – Helaton Extra and Aquarin vegetable for soaking seeds before sowing and foliar treatment of plants during the growing season.Results. During the research period of 2019-2021, new types of microfertilizers were studied.When using preparations Aquarin vegetable and Helaton Extra for different methods of processing, a positive effect on the growth and development of table watermelon plants, as well as on the increase in the leaf plate, was noted. Helaton Extra for soaking seeds and treating plants had the maximum impact on the growth processes of early table watermelon. As a result of the research, the yield of the studied variety also increased. The average weight of the fetus in all variants increased compared to the control variant by 2.7-5.3%. The length of the growing season in all variants increased from 2 to 4 days, which favorably affected the increase in yield. Comparative analysis of growth processes and productivity of watermelon variety Meteor when using new forms of water-soluble fertilizers for seed soaking and foliar treatment of plants showed greater efficiency from their use.

Authors: Akhmedova P. M. 
Published: June 2023

Relevance. Dagestan is a zone of prosperous agriculture, distinguished by the abundance of heat, sun and irrigation in the plain zone. Tomatoes occupy a special place among vegetable crops in the world, including in the Republic of Dagestan. Determinant varieties are now the most common in the production of tomatoes, especially in the open ground. The main areas of specialized cultivation of tomatoes in the open ground are concentrated in the Kizlyar and Derbent districts of plain Dagestan. In these areas, there are high average daily temperatures for the formation and ripening of tomato fruits in excess, which is favorably reflected in the overall productivity of the bushes. Whereas in the foothills of Dagestan, insufficient heat resources do not allow growing tomato varieties with a long growing season. In the foothill part of the republic there is a large labor-resource potential, vegetable growing, as a labor-intensive type of agribusiness, acts as a sphere of employment for a significant part of the rural population. The demand for tomato varieties with a short growing season in this part of the republic is great.Methods. The research was carried out on the basis of the Tersko Sulak subprovincion of the FGBNU of the FANC RD of the Kizlyar district. The soil of the experimental site is alluvial-meadow, medium-saline, medium loamy in mechanical composition. Agrotechnics is generally accepted in the Republic of Dagestan for tomato culture.Results. The method for the study was the new semi-stamp cultivars of FGBNU FNCO (VNIISSOK) selection: Fakel (counter), Blagodatny, Viking, Voskhod VNIISSOKa, Magnat, Severyanka, Sodruzhestvo, Perst, Patrice. According to the maturation dates, the samples were divided into three groups: very early – Severyanka, Blagodatny, Magnat, Voskhod VNIISSOK (97-100 days); early – Patrice, Viking, Perst (102-105 days); middle-early – Sodruzhestvo, Fakel (111-114 days). According to the type of bush, we have identified 5 ordinary and semi-lamb samples with a height of no more than 78 cm. Two samples had a height of 50-53 cm (Patrice, Perst) and an average fetal weight of 72 and 60 g. Three samples had a height of 70, 71, 72 cm (Voskhod VNIISSOKa, Blagodatny, Sodruzhestvo) and an average fetal weight of 107, 110, 130 g. According to the output of gross output, the best indicators were of the following varieties: Blagodatny – 86.3; Voskhod VNIISSOKa – 82.7; Sodruzhestvo – 77.6 t/ha; Patrice – 68.2 t/ha. The following grades had a high yield of marketable products: Voskhod VNIISSOKa, Patrice – 92%; Blagodatny – 91%; Perst – 90%. The varieties also have a relatively high dry matter index of 5.3-6.4%.

Authors: Irkov I. I. , Uspenskaya O. N. , Bernaz N. I. 
Published: June 2023

Relevance. Onions in Russia in 2021: Cultivation area – 56.3 thousand hectares; Productivity – 28.6 t/ha; Production – 1608.6 thousand tons; Import from the volume of consumption – 10.7%. Modern varieties and hybrids and plant protection products make it possible to obtain high yields in the conditions of the Non-chernozem zone. The aim of the research is to optimize the parameters and terms of technological operations for the cultivation of onion in an annual crop on alluvial meadow soils of the Non-Chernozem Zone.Materials and methods. The nutrition system of onion plants was tested through distributed nitrogen application during the growing season: Option 1 – (N160P160K160) presowing – (Ca40N10 + K40N20 + K40N20) during the growing season; Option 2 – (N110P110K110) presowing + (Ca40N20 + K40N40 + K40N40) during the growing season. Experience in the use of the microbiological preparation Bisolbi-Plant (Bacillus pumilis) BIS88 together with the 1% humic preparation "Rostok" at a rate of one liter per hectare each to stimulate active growth.Results. At the end of the growing season in the second variant of the nitrogen experiment, the growing season was extended by 7-10 days. The excess yield under the second option for 2021-22 years of research amounted to more than 20.0 t/ha and is significant. The difference in the options for applying the Bisolbi-Plant preparation in 2.8 t/ha with HCP05 – 8.2 t/ha was not significant. The advantage of the variant with the biological preparation is higher plant density by 71.0 thousand units/ha and the absence of signs of bacteriosis. Thus, the distributed application of nitrogen (N110P110K110) presowing + (Ca40N20 + K40N40 + K40N40) during the growing season with irrigation water was significantly more effective than (N160P160K160) presowing + (Ca40N20 + K40N20 + K40N20) during the growing season. There was a tendency to increase the yield and quality of products with the double application of Bisolbi-Plant (BIS88) at a rate of (1.0 + 1.0) l/ha.

Authors: Nechaeva A. V. , Zharkova S. V. 
Published: June 2023

Relevance. For a more complete realization of the biological potential inherent in the culture and directly in each variety, in the agrotechnology used, separate elements are used that contribute to more effective plant development. This should include the use of biological preparations that are not only able to stimulate and regulate the growth and development of plants, but are also safe for the environment. In this regard, the research results presented in this paper are relevant and timely.Materials and methods. In our study, we studied the effect of pre-sowing treatment of spring wheat seeds and its (processing) aftereffect on grain quality indicators and seed sowing properties. The early-ripening variety of spring soft wheat Iren was taken as an object of research. The subject of the study is biological preparations, their effect and aftereffect during pre–sowing seed treatment on the formation of grain and the quality of the seed material of the crop.Results. Studies have revealed differences in the intensity of the effect of presowing seed treatment with biological preparations and the aftereffect of treatment on the quality indicators of spring wheat grain. The aftereffect of the drugs increased the protein content in the grain. The maximum protein content in the experiment was obtained in variant 2 (the preparation was obtained by the method of VAG based on pine needles (HS 22)) – 17.0%.The gluten content in the grain in variants of experiments 2 and 3 was formed above 32%, which corresponds to the 1st class. The maximum gluten content in the grain was obtained in variant 2 (HS 22) – 41.8% in experiment 3 (aftereffect). The vitreous content of the grain in all variants of experiments 2 and 3 is higher than 60%, which makes it possible to classify the grain to the 1st class. A higher level of grain nature was obtained on variants with the aftereffect of drugs. Grain on the variants of experiment 3: control, 3 (LP 4), 8 (Cytohumate), 9 (Lignohumate) with grain in kind above 750 g should be attributed to the 1st class.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
Cervical traumatic spinal cord injury is a devastating condition. Current management (bony decompression) may be inadequate as after acute severe TSCI, the swollen spinal cord may become compressed against the surrounding tough membrane, the dura. DISCUS will test the hypothesis that, after acute, severe traumatic cervical spinal cord injury, the addition of dural decompression to bony decompression improves muscle strength in the limbs at six months, compared with bony decompression alone.
Methods
This is a prospective, phase III, multicenter, randomized controlled superiority trial. We aim to recruit 222 adults with acute, severe, traumatic cervical spinal cord injury with an American spinal injury association Impairment Scale grade A, B or C who will be randomized 1:1 to undergo bony decompression alone or bony decompression with duroplasty. Patients and outcome assessors are blinded to study arm. The primary outcome is change in the motor score at six months vs. admission; secondary outcomes assess function (grasp, walking, urinary + anal sphincters), quality of life, complications, need for further surgery and mortality, at 6 months and 12 months from randomization. A subgroup of at least 50 patients (25/arm) also has observational monitoring from the injury site using a pressure probe (intraspinal pressure, spinal cord perfusion pressure) and/or microdialysis catheter (cord metabolism: tissue glucose, lactate, pyruvate, lactate to pyruvate ratio, glutamate, glycerol; cord inflammation: tissue chemokines/cytokines). Patients are recruited from the U.K. and internationally, with UK recruitment supported by an integrated QuinteT recruitment intervention to optimize recruitment and informed consent processes. Estimated study duration is 72 months (6 months set-up, 48 months recruitment, 12 months to complete follow-up, 6 months data analysis and reporting results).
Discussion
We anticipate that the addition of duroplasty to standard of care will improve muscle strength; this has benefits for patients and carers, as well as substantial gains for health services and society including economic implications. If the addition of duroplasty to standard treatment is beneficial, it is anticipated that duroplasty will become standard of care.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important crop throughout the world and is one of the most important industrial raw materials. It is very important to characterize the available cotton germplasm aiming to identify novel genetic and genomic resources that can be used for future cotton breeding. Keeping this in view, a total of 179 cotton genotypes were characterized with the interPrimer Binding Site (iPBS). Seven iPBS-retrotransposons primers yielded a total of 134 scoreable bands and among these totals of 134, 128 bands were polymorphic. The mean polymorphic bands per primer were 18.28, with values between 16 and 21. The mean polymorphism rate of 7 iPBS retrotransposon primers was calculated as 96.28%. The polymorphism information content (PIC) value varies between 0.31 and 0.46 with an average of 0.395. Genetic similarity was calculated using the POPGENE software and values ranged between 0.320 and 0.955. Population structure and neighbor-joining analysis divided the evaluated germplasm into two populations. The analysis of molecular variance revealed that maximum variations (96%) are due to differences within the populations. The information presented here has comprehensively demonstrated the potential of iPBS-retrotransposon markers in detecting genetic diversity and phylogenetic association analyses of cotton and resulted information will be helpful for future cotton breeding.

Authors: Yalçın Mücella Savaş , Koşar Didem 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study aimed to reveal the policies, programs and projects implemented to ensure equality of opportunity in education for economically disadvantaged students in Turkiye and how they reflect on them.This study is in qualitative research design and data were obtained through document analysis and interviews. The data sources of the research consist of top policy documents, national and international reports, documents, research results, education statistics and opinions of person working trade unions and think tanks, academics working in this field. Using the content analysis method in the analysis of the data, three themes were determined which are equality in access to education, equality in access to opportunities and equality in educational outcomes. The targets set and the practices implemented are evaluated within the scope of fighting against poverty and discussed in terms of social policies that include interventions to eliminate their economic disadvantages by aiming to break the cycle of poverty. Equality of opportunity policies in education targeting these students have been handled with a limited approach that is far from holistic. When the equal opportunity policies in education in Turkiye are examined, it has been implemented to cover all students in the education system. Therefore, it is seen that there is a need for policies to ensure justice, not equality, in the Turk education system.
Glubloc™ Reduces Postprandial Blood Glucose Surge in Healthy Individuals (A Placebo Controlled Pilot study).
Authors: Gali Chaitanya Chakravarthi , Palle Lalitha 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
High glycaemic index (GI) foods can lead to negative health outcomes such as glucose spikes, insulin resistance, weight gain, and glucose crashes. Glubloc™ is a proprietary plant extract blend of Morus alba L and Malus domestica rind, enriched with polyphenolic flavonoids that inhibits enzymes responsible for carbohydrate digestion and glucose absorption and has shown potential in modulating blood sugar surge post-meal intake.
Objective
This study was aimed to investigate the impact of Glubloc™ on postprandial glucose response (PPGR) in healthy individuals after consuming a high GI meal (300g cooked rice) or a sucrose drink (70g table sugar dissolved in 400ml water).
Design:
Two studies were conducted using a placebo-controlled design. Subjects (n = 40 for rice meal study, n = 40 for sucrose drink study) received either placebo or Glubloc™ (500mg) before the meal/drink. Blood glucose levels were measured at various time points up to 180 minutes for the rice meal study and 120 minutes for the sucrose drink study.
Results
Glubloc™ supplementation significantly reduced PPGR in both the rice meal study and sucrose drink study. Compared to the placebo group, Glubloc™ resulted in significantly lower incremental area under the curve (iAUC) values for glucose levels (1063 mg/dL × min vs. 5090 mg/dL × min for rice meal; 859 mg/dL × min vs. 2266 mg/dL × min for sucrose drink). No adverse events were reported.
Conclusions
Glubloc™ supplementation effectively reduced postprandial glucose response in healthy individuals consuming high GI meals or sucrose drinks. It demonstrated potential as a safe and effective means to modulate blood glucose levels, thereby minimizing the negative effects of glucose and insulin spikes associated with high GI foods. Glubloc™ could be a valuable supplement for individuals seeking to manage their blood glucose levels after consuming carbohydrate-rich meals or sugary beverages. Further research is warranted to explore its broader applications in managing metabolic conditions.

Authors: Van Thach Phan , Phan Quang Khai , Pham Gia Bao , Do Anh Duy 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Kombucha is a well-known fermented beverage that offers various nutritional and health benefits to humans. Various substrates have been considered for kombucha fermentation, including herbs, fruits, flowers, and vegetables, to enhance flavors, odor, and nutritional value. In this study we examined the potential of cascara or coffee husk, as a substrate for kombucha production. Our results indicated that a combination of cascara and a sucrose concentration of 10g/L was appropriate for the fermentation of kombucha. The cascara kombucha achieved a low pH of 2.69 after a 14-day of fermentation, which corresponds to microbiological safety requirements. Additionally, fermentation increased polyphenols, flavonoids, and total acids content, resulting in antioxidant, antimicrobial, and prebiotic activities that promote a healthy gut microbiota. Furthermore, 14 days of fermentation has been demonstrated for achieving a balanced sensory profile, including sourness, sweetness, and odor, as well as enhancing the health-promoting nutrient accumulation. These findings emphasize the potential health benefits of cascara kombucha, making it an appealing beverage for consumers at the same time, while also repurposing the coffee industry by-products, contributing to sustainable and environmentally friendly development.
Secure Comparisons of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Using Secure Multiparty Computation: Method Development
Authors: Woods Andrew , Kramer Skyler T , Xu Dong , Jiang Wei 
Published: June 2023

Background
While genomic variations can provide valuable information for health care and ancestry, the privacy of individual genomic data must be protected. Thus, a secure environment is desirable for a human DNA database such that the total data are queryable but not directly accessible to involved parties (eg, data hosts and hospitals) and that the query results are learned only by the user or authorized party.

Objective
In this study, we provide efficient and secure computations on panels of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from genomic sequences as computed under the following set operations: union, intersection, set difference, and symmetric difference.

Methods
Using these operations, we can compute similarity metrics, such as the Jaccard similarity, which could allow querying a DNA database to find the same person and genetic relatives securely. We analyzed various security paradigms and show metrics for the protocols under several security assumptions, such as semihonest, malicious with honest majority, and malicious with a malicious majority.

Results
We show that our methods can be used practically on realistically sized data. Specifically, we can compute the Jaccard similarity of two genomes when considering sets of SNPs, each with 400,000 SNPs, in 2.16 seconds with the assumption of a malicious adversary in an honest majority and 0.36 seconds under a semihonest model.

Conclusions
Our methods may help adopt trusted environments for hosting individual genomic data with end-to-end data security.

Online supervision as a way to increase the level of professional skills and formation of professional identity of consulting psychologists
Authors: Shorokhov A. G. 
Published: June 2023

Introduction. Applying for supervision is especially relevant in modern conditions of uncertainty in a transitive society, which require psychologists to improve their professional skills. The demand for the online supervision format is also increasing, which is noted as more convenient and accessible compared to the offline form. During our works review, it was found that obtaining supervision is a significant factor in the formation of identity and professional development of novice psychologists-practitioners.Purpose. Determination of the influence of online supervision on the identity formation of a consulting psychologist and the development of his professional qualities and competencies.Materials and methods. In this study 280 respondents, beginning psychologists, took part as respondents. We applied the author’s questionnaire aimed at studying the experience of obtaining online supervision from entrant psychologists and practitioners and also to identifying barriers to obtaining it. The Methodology of Professional Identity Measuring (MPIM) made it possible to assess professional identity formation. Empirical data were processed using the Student’s t-test.Results. The types of identity of practising psychologists who apply and do not apply for online supervision were identified. It is shown that most practising psychologists, who rarely or never apply for online supervision, have a diffuse type of identity. For practising psychologists who regularly visit a supervisor, the predominant type of professional identity is “achieved”.Discussion and conclusion. During the analysis of works, it was found that applying for supervision, including in an online format, allows a practising psychologist to improve professional qualities and competencies effectively and is a significant determinant of professionalism formation and the achieved professional identity.
