IIIVmrMLM Provides New Insights into the Genetic Basis of the Agronomic Trait Variation in Chickpea

Chickpea is a staple crop for many nations worldwide. Modeling genotype-by-environment interactions and assessing the genotype’s ability to contribute adaptive alleles are crucial for chickpea breeding. In this study, we evaluated 12 agronomically important traits of 159 accessions from the N.I. Vavilov All Russian Institute for Plant Genetic Resources collection. These included 145 landraces and 13 cultivars grown in different climatic conditions in Kuban (45°18′ N and 40°52′ E) in both 2016 and 2022, as well as in Astrakhan (46°06′ N and 48°04′ E) in 2022. Using the IIIVmrMLM model in multi-environmental mode, we identified 161 quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) with stable genetic effects across different environments. Furthermore, we have observed 254 QTN-by-environment interactions with distinct environment-specific effects. Notably, five of these interactions manifested large effects, with R2 values exceeding 10%, while the highest R2 value for stable QTNs was 4.7%. Within the protein-coding genes and their 1 Kb flanking regions, we have discerned 22 QTNs and 45 QTN-by-environment interactions, most likely tagging the candidate causal genes. The landraces obtained from the N.I Vavilov All Russian Institute for Plant Genetic Resources collection exhibit numerous favorable alleles at quantitative trait nucleotide loci, showing stable effects in the Kuban and Astrakhan regions. Additionally, they possessed a significantly higher number of Kuban-specific favorable alleles of the QTN-by-environment interaction loci compared to the Astrakhan-specific ones. The environment-specific alleles found at the QTN-by-environment interaction loci have the potential to enhance chickpea adaptation to specific climatic conditions.

Оценка уровня экономического развития старопромышленных регионов Юга России

The study of the level of development of a region is an important tool for comprehension and analysis of the characteristics and trends in the formation of a certain territory from the point of view of the economy. The old industrial regions in southern Russia, such as the Rostov, Volgograd, and Astrakhan regions, play a crucial role in national economic formation. They have a rich history of industrial development and underwent significant transformation during the transition from a Soviet-era industrial structure to a modern, diversified economic system. This circumstance determined the purpose of the article, which is the analysis of key economic indicators of the regions of the south of the country classified as old industrial ones, reflecting the level of their development. The article uses a variety of methods to analyze key economic indicators in these regions, including systematic, economic, statistical, comparative, and retrospective analysis. A study of various economic indicators in the region, including gross regional product, industrial production, retail trade turnover, and agricultural production, was conducted. This made it possible to assess the situation in different regions based on their main industries. The authors offer an algorithm for the calculation of a regional development assessment index that includes economic, social, demographic, and innovative components. It helps understand the overall condition of a region and its potential. The algorithm can be adjusted according to the research objectives. The obtained results and recommendations can be applied to develop an effective development strategy and a set of measures to improve regional policy, which, in turn, can lead to an improvement in the economic condition of old industrial regions, strengthening their positions in the national economic system.

The current epizootic and epidemiological situation of coxiellosis in the territories of the Southern, North Caucasian Federal Districts, Donetsk, Lugansk People's Republics, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions

Objective: to characterize the dynamics and intensity of the incidence of Q fever for the period from 2015 to 2022, to determine the risk areas for human infection in the Southern and North Caucasian Federal districts and in the new subjects of the Russian Federation.Materials and methods: for epidemiological analysis, materials from analytical reviews "The epidemiological situation of natural focal infectious diseases in the Southern and North Caucasus Federal Districts" and state reports "On the state of sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population" for 2015-2022, reporting data from the Rospotrebnadzor Department for the Rostov region, «Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in Russia Rostov region» and the Departments of Rospotrebnadzor for the DPR and LPR. From 2022–2023 PCR study was conducted for the presence of Coxiella burnetii DNA in samples of ixodic mites and small mammals in the Rostov region and in 2023 – in the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.Results: the analysis of the territorial distribution of cases of Q fever in the Astrakhan region and Stavropol Territory revealed a cluster of the most disadvantaged areas. An analysis of the conditions of infection of patients with Ku fever in the Rostov region has established that the most likely transmission factors are environmental objects in private farms. The circulation of C. burnetii in natural biotopes of the Rostov region, DNR and LNR regions.Conclusions: the epidemic process of Ku fever is mainly local, limited in the context of municipal districts of Astrakhan and Rostov regions, Stavropol Territory. The sporadic incidence of Ku fever does not reflect its actual level. There is no convincing evidence indicating the leading role of farm animals as a primary link in the formation of the epizootic process of Q fever in anthropurgical foci.

Russian-Kazakh border: Sustainability and typology by ethnic, historical and natural characteristics

The formation of the Russian-Kazakh border is a complex evolutionary and historical process, and the territory itself is an area of contact of integrated, but at the same time culturally and ethnically distinct territories. In order to determine the sustainability of the Russian-Kazakh border, the segmentation of its sections was carried out according to a set of features defined by typology (natural, ethnic, historical characteristics of the sections). Based on their synthesis, the Russian-Kazakh border is divided into separate segments forming 3 categories of sustainability. As a result of the study it was determined that the most stable parts of the border are historically mature, have a high degree of ethnic contrast and are often of natural origin - this is the western sector of the border area (parts of the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Saratov and Orenburg regions). A significant part of the border belongs to the category of the least stable and has only one feature - these are the central and eastern sectors of the borderland (Chelyabinsk, Kurgan, Tyumen, Omsk, Novosibirsk regions). Due to the length of the border and the historical development processes of this territory, the areas with no signs of sustainability - this is a geometric type of border - are also identified. They do not take into consideration natural, historical and ethnic peculiarities and are often determined by economic needs - these are the parts of the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Orenburg regions and Altai Krai.

ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ И ИНТЕНСИВНОСТЬ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ СЕЛЬСКОХОЗЯЙСТВЕННЫХ УГОДИЙ В СУБЪЕКТАХ ПОВОЛЖСКОГО ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО РАЙОНА

The article conducted a study of the efficiency and intensity of use of agricultural land in the constituent entities of the Volga economic region. The Republic of Kalmykia, the Republic of Tatarstan, Astrakhan, Volgograd, Penza, Samara, Saratov and Ulyanovsk regions were analyzed. In the process of studying, the stages of research are considered to ensure stimulation of the goals set for the future. The practical side of effective and intensive turnover of agricultural land and ways to improve it in real use have been worked out. Depending on the ratio of indicators of the capabilities of the Volga economic region, a program of activities has been built for the involvement and expedient exploitation of agricultural land. Inefficient lands and methods of their use through the use of highly effective agrotechnical innovations are considered. Directions for measures to improve consistently ineffective lands are revealed. An important role here is played by targeted actions to improve land through land reclamation. An analysis of the investment climate, key risks and adaptation to modern conditions was carried out. Key positions that hinder the elimination of a number of problems are formulated in the form of a summary consequence. This is associated with the risk of a slowdown in investment attractiveness and competitive advantage, taking into account the global economic context. Despite the significant interest in the use of agricultural land in the subjects of the Volga economic region, the applied interest associated with the possibility and intensity of use to ensure the production of agricultural products is not sufficiently substantiated, the theoretical and practical aspects related to the study of models of economic modernization of this region are not sufficiently developed.

Анализ промежуточных итогов реализации стратегий социально-экономического развития старопромышленных регионов Юга России до 2030–2035 годов

The article analyzes the intermediate results of the implementation of socio-economic development strategies in the Astrakhan, Volgograd and Rostov regions. The relevance and novelty of the study is related to the assessment of changes in these regions, based on the planned values ​​of their development indicators for 2022. The research methodology was project monitoring, based on the use of control points during project implementation. To apply the strategy, a range of indicators that can be used as control points, as well as the planned and actual periods for their measurement, were studied. The specifics of updating strategies carried out in 2022 are considered, a comparison is made of the regional indicators of strategic goal setting used; alternative options for using project monitoring - detailed, integral and mixed - are proposed, their advantages and disadvantages are highlighted. For 2022, a detailed analysis of the implementation of the socio-economic development strategy for the Astrakhan and mixed ones for the Volgograd and Rostov regions was carried out. It was revealed that in conditions of high uncertainty of changes in external and internal factors of the functioning of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, strategies are constantly updated. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation recommends introducing new indicators that largely reflect those used to assess the implementation of regional projects. Statistical data for monitoring has not yet been provided in full and therefore it is not possible to fully assess how the indicators planned for a given period have been achieved, which significantly reduces the feasibility of yearly calculations of indicators for the implementation of strategies. The article substantiates measures aimed at increasing the role of socio-economic development strategies in territorial transformation.

СЛУЖЕБНЫЕ СОБАКИ КАК ИСТОЧНИК РАСПРОСТРАНЕНИЯ ДИРОФИЛЯРИОЗА

Due to the peculiarities of keeping and exploitation of service dogs, their frequent movements to various territories both within the country and to neighboring states, this group of animals is an important factor in expanding the range of dirofilariasis. This paper presents the results of a study of infection of service dogs with dirofilaria (Dirofilaria repens and Dirofilaria immitis) for the period from 2010 to 2022 from different territories of the Russian Federation: Rostov, Novgorod, Astrakhan, Orel, Tula, Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk regions, Krasnodar and Stavropol territories, the Republics of Bashkortostan, Kalmykia and Adygea. 948 blood samples of dogs were studied, microfilariae were detected in 140 samples, in general, the prevalence of invasion was 14,8 ± 1,1 %. D. repens microfilariae were found in 11,0 ± 1,0 % of dogs, D. immitis – 2,1 ± 0,4 %, simultaneously both types of microfilariae (mixed invasion) – 1,4 ± 0,4 %. Analysis of the data obtained indicates a high prevalence of service dogs with this biohelminthiasis. In recent years, there has been a decrease in the incidence among service dogs in the study areas, which was facilitated by active preventive measures: improved diagnosis of dirofilariasis, the use of effective microfilariacid preparations, and vector control.

Estimation of efficiency of metribuzin to weeds control in coriander crops

There are no chemicals in Russia to protect vegetative coriander from a complex of dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous weeds. The expediency of using metribuzin for this purpose was assessed. Field small-plot trials with herbicide Zenkor Ultra SC (metribuzin, 600 g/l) were carried out in three agricultural territories with differing climatic conditions: Krasnodar, Omsk and Astrakhan Regions. Weed counts were using the quantitative and weight method. The efficiency of herbicide was calculated to the control without treatment. As a result of trials, three groups of weeds were identified: 1) species highly sensitive to herbicide: Chenopodium album L., Amaranthus retroflexus L., Salsola tragus L. (efficiency 90-95%); 2) species medium sensitivity: Solanum nigrum L., Polygonum aviculare L. (efficiency 50-65%); 3) poorly controlled weeds: Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Galium aparine L. (efficiency less 30-40%). Increases yield of seeds of coriander variety Yantar after Zenkor Ultra SC use amounted to 26.1-37.3%. Phytotoxicity was noted on varieties Ranniy and Santo in one of the years and this needs future estimation sensitivity of varieties to metribuzin.

Climate-oriented breeding of spring barley in arid regions

The article presents the results of the study of collection samples of spring barley. The aim of the research was to assess the prospects of breeding lines of spring barley for the agro-industrial complex of regions with different climate aridity. The studies were carried in 2011-2021 out at the Krasnokutskaya breeding experimental station (experimental field coordinates 50.914000, 47.068300, Krasnokutsky district of the Saratov region). Predecessor - fallow, accounting area of plots - 25 sq.m. During the period of study of the material, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2018 were dry years (the total precipitation during the growing season was 42.8-50.3 mm, HTC 0.30-0.46). In 2019, spring barley crops almost died due to a severe frost in the three-leaf phase and the subsequent severe drought (only 4.9 mm of precipitation fell during the growing season, the HTC was 0.03), so data for this year are not provided. As relatively favorable, 2011, 2016, 2017, 2020 and 2021 can be distinguished (the total precipitation for the growing season is 81.0-135 mm, HTC 0.61-0.97). During 2011-2021 indicators of productivity, plasticity, stability and drought resistance of spring barley varieties bred over a 100-year period at the Krasnokutsk breeding experimental station were evaluated. It was revealed that the average productivity of barley varieties increased by 57.9%, and in the years of acute droughts it almost doubled. Analysis by the same parameters of 5 promising lines in 2017-2021. made it possible to differentiate their potential for regions with different aridity. In the zone with low aridity (more than 7 million hectares of arable land in the Right Bank of the Saratov, Penza and Samara, Volgograd, Ulyanovsk regions), the Nutans 244 and Medicum 276 lines, which are responsive to additional moisture, have the greatest potential. In areas with moderate aridity (about 10 million hectares arable land in the Lower Volga region), samples Nutans 296 and Medicum 247 will have an advantage. In areas with high aridity (more than 6 million hectares of arable land in the Left Bank of the Saratov, Volgograd, Astrakhan regions, Kalmykia), the Medicum 270 line can show high efficiency. These features will be taken into account during further transfer to variety testing.

The Temporal and Geographical Dynamics of Potato Virus Y Diversity in Russia.

Potato virus Y, an important viral pathogen of potato, has several genetic variants and geographic distributions which could be affected by environmental factors, aphid vectors, and reservoir plants. PVY is transmitted to virus-free potato plants by aphids and passed on to the next vegetative generations through tubers, but the effects of tuber transmission in PVY is largely unknown. By using high-throughput sequencing, we investigated PVY populations transmitted to potato plants by aphids in different climate zones of Russia, namely the Moscow and Astrakhan regions. We analyzed sprouts from the tubers produced by field-infected plants to investigate the impact of tuber transmission on PVY genetics. We found a significantly higher diversity of PVY isolates in the Astrakhan region, where winters are shorter and milder and summers are warmer compared to the Moscow region. While five PVY types, NTNa, NTNb, N:O, N-Wi, and SYR-I, were present in both regions, SYRI-II, SYRI-III, and 261-4 were only found in the Astrakhan region. All these recombinants were composed of the genome sections derived from PVY types O and N, but no full-length sequences of such types were present. The composition of the PVY variants in the tuber sprouts was not always the same as in their parental plants, suggesting that tuber transmission impacts PVY genetics.

Members of the Genus Beauveria Associated with Natural Populations of Locusts in Southern European Russia

The species composition of fungal pathogens among three of the most harmful locust species (Asian migratory locust, Moroccan locust and Italian locust) in the southern Russian Federation was studied. Insects were sampled in 20 locations of seven federal subjects of the Russian Federation (Republic of Dagestan, Republic of Kalmykia; Krasnodar and Stavropol Krai; Astrakhan, Volgograd and Rostov Regions). Forty-five isolates belonging to the fungal genus Beauveria were collected, particularly isolates of B. bassiana and B. pseudobassiana. B. bassiana was the most prevalent, constituting 98% of the samples, and could be differentiated into three clades, as evidenced by the TEF gene and intergenic spacer Bloc. Clade 1, represented by the reference isolate ARSEF 2040, was most abundant (61%), and Clade 2, represented by ARSEF 1811, had lower abundance (27%). The remaining isolates either belonged to the genetically distinct Clade 3, represented by ARSEF 1564, or were found to fall outside the major lineages. The frequency of infection in locust populations was variable and tended to increase under conditions unfavorable for the insects. The vast majority of Beauveria isolates from locusts were highly virulent in this insect group.

ИНДИВИДУАЛЬНО-АВТОРСКАЯ ИНТЕРПРЕТАЦИЯ ПРИКАСПИЙСКОГО РЕГИОНА В ТРУДАХ ТАРАСА ШЕВЧЕНКО

Abstract. This article is devoted to identifying the common characteristics of the "supertext" that has developed in the Kazakh and Russian national literatures, in the space of which the border territories of Kazakhstan and Russia – the Mangistau and Astrakhan regions - were connected. The object of the study was the biography and diaries of T.G. Shevchenko from the period of exile to the Mangyshlak peninsula and return to St. Petersburg via Astrakhan. The authors made an attempt to trace the process of Taras Shevchenko's self-identification during the exile period and the Astrakhan stage, based primarily on his individual diary entries. Through the prism of the identity of the personality and biography of T.G. Shevchenko, the discourse of his diary fragments from the period of reference to Mangyshlak, analyzed in the aspect of the synthesis of the biographical approach and "cognitive hermeneutics" based on the interpretation of the symbolic level and geopoetic meanings, Russian-Kazakh literary connections in the original "intertextual space" of the adjacent regions – Mangystau and Astrakhan regions are quite multifaceted and meaningful. The analysis allowed us to identify the individual author's interpretation of the Caspian region, with which T.G. Shevchenko was biographically associated. The systematized facts gave grounds to consider T.G. Shevchenko a "lacunary actor" in the literary history of the two regions. The present study is carried out in the aspect of the synthesis of the biographical method and "cognitive hermeneutics" based on the interpretation of the symbolic level and geopoetic meanings. The authors have identified the key images, parameters and basic artistic techniques for the formation of symbolic geopoetics of the interregional "supertext", relevant for the representation of Mangystau and Astrakhan in other literary works. Keywords: Kazakh literature, Russian literature, T.G. Shevchenko, Mangyshlak, Mangystau, Astrakhan, biographical method, cognitive approach, hermeneutics, symbolism, passionate personality, geopoetics, overtext, literary connections, concept.

To the fauna of gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep in the European part of Russia

The purpose of the research is to study the fauna of gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep in the European part of the Russian Federation.Materials and methods. The studies were carried out in 2022–2023. The objects for the study were the sets of the gastrointestinal tracts of sheep aged from one to 2.5 years, delivered to the slaughterhouse in the Moscow region from different regions of the Russian Federation, including the Oryol and the Astrakhan regions, the Republic of Dagestan and Stavropol Krai. After slaughter, 10 sets of gastrointestinal tracts were taken by the random sampling method from each batch of delivered sheep. Then, these sets of gastrointestinal tracts were subjected to helminthological necropsy according to the method of K. I. Skryabin (1928). The species of detected nematodes were identified according to K. I. Skryabin et al. (1952) and V. M. Ivashkin et al. (1989).Results and discussion. A different degree of gastrointestinal nematodes infection of sheep has been established in different regions of the European part of the Russian Federation. Thus, the rate of infection in the Oryol region was 80%, in the Astrakhan region – 100%, in the Republic of Dagestan – 100% and in Stavropol Krai – 50%. Sheep were infected with Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Teladorsagia circumcincta with an intensity of infection, on average, 251.86±25.2 and 99.25±9.9 ex./head respectively in the Oryol region; T. colubriformis (242.65±24.3 ex./head), T. circumcincta (76.6±7.7 ex./head.), Haemonchus contortus (6.5±0.7 ex./head) and Marshallagia marshalli (19±1.9 ex./head) in the Astrakhan region; T. colubriformis (89.7±9 ex./head), T. circumcincta (43.6±4.4 ex./head), H. contortus (6.8±0.7 ex./head) and M. marshalli (17.8±1.8 ex./head) in the Republic of Dagestan; T. colubriformis (20.2±2 ex./head) and T. circumcincta (11±1.1 ex./head) in Stavropol Krai. Thus, T. colubriformis and T. circumcincta were the most frequently found nematodes in sheep in all of the four studied regions, and these two species also showed the highest rates of infection. The noted low species diversity of nematodes is obviously associated with the mandatory use of anthelmintic drugs. The studied sheep were treated against parasites (according to the accompanying veterinary documentation). At the same time, the detection of nematodes in treated animals possibly indicates the presence of resistant strains.

Retrospective of barley breeding in the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”

The current paper has presented a historical excursion and an overview of scientific research on breeding and seed production of winter and spring barley in the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy”. The Southern Federal District includes 8 subjects of the Russian Federation, namely Sevastopol; republics of Adygea, Kalmykia, Crimea; Krasnodar Territory, Astrakhan, Volgograd and Rostov regions. Barley is the main grain forage crop in terms of sown area. Don farmers have long shown interest in this valuable, diverse crop, very unpretentious to the cultivation conditions. Barley breeding work began in our institution in 1932 and is still ongoing, with short interruptions, to the present. Research was carried out in various areas: breeding of winter, spring and facultative barley, seed production and technology of their cultivation. In the XXI-st century, the researchers of the barley department developed new innovative directions in barley breeding, there were developed two-row brewing varieties with high malting rates (the variety ‘Randevu’) in winter barley breeding and in spring barley breeding there were developed fodder barley (green fodder) varieties (the variety ‘Novik’), which were previously absent in the State List of the Russian Federation. In 2014 there were opened new directions in the department, namely the development of hulles spring barley varieties and awnless winter barley varieties. Since 2016, there has been carried out an active work to identify winter barley lines that are genetically resistant to net blotch. Together with the All-Russian Research Institute of Radiology and Agroecology, there was carried out an estimation of the radiosensitivity of winter and spring barley varieties to identify varieties being resistant to the environmental stress factors. Based on research materials, there were successfully defended 11 candidate and two doctoral dissertations, there were published eight monographs and more than 400 scientific articles.

Формирование стратегических приоритетов развития старопромышленных регионов Юга России

In the conditions of turbulence of the world economy, the formation of regional strategic priorities that contribute to ensuring sustainable economic growth and improvement of life standard of the population plays a special role in the sustainability of the country’s development. The existing stratification of regions determines the need to study the features of the development of such a category as the “old industrial region.” The aim of the study is to form strategic priorities that contribute to regional development of territories with predominant industrial production located in the south of the country. The methodology of the study includes statistical analysis of individual social and economic indicators of the situation of old industrial regions of the South of Russia in dynamics. The methods of retrospective, factorial, comparative, economic-statistical, and situational analyses were applied. As a result of the conducted research, the definition of the term “old industrial region” is given, which allows to present the specifics of this territorial unit. The paper analyses a number of key economic indicators of the Astrakhan, Volgograd, and Rostov regions, which allows to assess the state of the region and the potential of its innovative development. The authors draw conclusion that, despite the common initial characteristics of old industrial regions of the South that appeared after the collapse of the Soviet Union, each of them, having a heterogeneous resource base, needs an individual approach when choosing strategic development priorities based on a detailed analysis of economic indicators as well as their potential. Old industrial regions can move along three different development trajectories: modernization of existing industries with the introduction of innovations; development of new areas of industrial production; orientation to the post-industrial type of economic development with an emphasis on the service sector. At the same time, such regions need attention and involvement from the state, but in different degrees and forms.

Fungal Biodiversity of Potato Tubers

The paper presents information on strains of 53 species of fungi isolated from potato tubers. Samples of affected and healthy potato tubers were collected in various regions of Russia (Astrakhan, Bryansk, Vladimir, Voronezh, Irkutsk, Kaluga, Kostroma, Magadan, Moscow, Tambov, Tula, Kamchatka, and Krasnodar regions; Republics of Adygea, Crimea, Mari El, Sakha-Yakutia) between 2014 and 2022. 36 species presented in the work are new and have not been previously found on tubers. Among them, there are both phytopathogens and species that can be used as potential biocontrol agents (competitive saprotrophs, mycotrophs). Species known as endophytes have been found, as well as poorly studied species whose role on tubers remains unknown. The work does not include well-known potato pathogens, new species, information about which was previously published by the authors, as well as a variety of Fusarium spp. fungi, on which separate publications are being prepared. The study shows the complex diversity of fungi in the composition of the potato microbiota, which indicates the need for a thorough analysis of the microbiota in the development and application of tuber protection systems.

Analysis of fatal electrical injury rates in the Russian Federation for the period of 2003 to 2021

Aim of this study is to research the fatal electrical injury rate in the Russian Federation, identified during the forensic medical investigation/examination of corpses for the period of 2003 to 2021, and to detect Russian regions, where fatal electrical injury rates are significantly higher than the national average. Based on research of annual reports, it has been established, that the fatal electrical injury reaches insignificant, but relatively stable part in the total amount of violent death and fatal mechanical injury in the Russian Federation. The analysis of fatal electrical injury rates depending on Russian regions showed that the Republics of Adygea and Kalmykia, Krasnodar Territory, Rostov, Kursk and Astrakhan regions are areas with the greatest prevalence of fatal electrical injury. A comparative data analysis for the Russian Federation with the European Union countries and the CIS countries demonstrates that the fatal electrical injury has a high frequency of occurrence in our country.

Hygiene training of schoolchildren and students using the "habit trackers – checklists" technology

Healthy lifestyle formation is one of the tasks of the hygiene education of children, adolescents and young adults. That is why it is necessary for educational institutions to implement the technologies focused on health preservation in students. The study was aimed to develop and test the technology for hygiene training of students. In 2017–2019 we tested the “Habit Trackers – Checklists” technology in dynamics within the framework of the hygiene training of schoolchildren in the Moscow and Astrakhan regions, and in 2021–2023 the technology was tested for college and university students. A total of 502 schoolchildren, 234 college students, and 429 university students were enrolled. In educational institutions, where the hygiene training program was implemented, the number of schoolchildren with the diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue decreased by 1.4 times, and the number of students with eye diseases decreased by 2.6 times compared to other educational institutions of the Astrakhan region. Later, when the technology was tested for college and university students, the number of students having medium and high levels of physical activity increased from 46.0% (before the hygiene training) to 72.0% (after the hygiene training). The findings allow us to recommend replicating the proposed hygiene training program in educational institutions.
