The Economic Aspect of the Image of Well-Being of the Kursk Region: Comparative Analysis of Statistical Indicators of the Chernozem Regions

The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the uneven level of economic development among the regions of the Chernozem region. The need for a comparative analysis of economic factors of well-being is associated with determining the best indicators among the regions, and identifying the Kursk region's place in this rating.The purpose of the article is the economic characteristics of the well-being of the Chernozem regions and their comparative analysis.Objectives: to consider the theoretical aspects of the formation of the image of well-being; to consider the system of economic indicators that make up the image of well-being; to provide statistical data for the Kursk region, as well as for other regions of the Chernozem region (Voronezh, Lipetsk, Tambov, Belgorod regions); to conduct a comparative analysis of the obtained indicators for the regions of the Chernozem region.Methodology. The study was carried out on the basis of a systematic approach within the framework of structural-functionalism using universal scientific methods such as analysis, synthesis, generalization, as well as the method of correlation analysis.Results. In the course of the study, criteria were identified, on the basis of which we derived economic parameters by which well-being was measured. Further, statistical data were collected according to the selected parameters, with which computational manipulations were carried out, in particular, the dynamics index was calculated. The data were analyzed and compared by region.Conclusions. Economic indicators, among which we used the levels of GRP, unemployment and employment, showed an ambiguous picture in which the Kursk region occupies a median position in a number of regions of the Black Earth region, having average indicators and growth rates of indicators. However, the unemployment rate of the Kursk region, considered in dynamics, allows us to judge higher rates of unemployment decline, which is good for the region, but does not give grounds to call the Kursk region more or less prosperous in comparison with the rest.

NOSOLOGICAL PROFILE OF PARASITIC INFECTION PATHOLOGY OF DOMESTIC CARNIVORES IN ALEKSEYEVKA TOWN, BELGOROD REGION

Determination of a nosological profile of parasitic infection pathology of domestic carnivores plays one of the key roles in developing an effective, comprehensive and scientifically-based system for rehabilitation and prevention of, first of all, invasive animal diseases that are dangerous to humans. The work was carried out on retrospective and operational analysis of statistical data from veterinary reports of the Veterinary Laboratory in Alekseyevka, the Belgorod Region. Based on the data obtained, we prepared a nosological profile of the parasitic infection pathology of domestic carnivores which is characteristic for this territory. The nosological profile includes 9 nosological units, namely, 8 helminth species and one protozoan species from the coccidia group. The following species have been registered in dogs: Toxocara canis, Trichocephalus vulpis, Dipylidium caninum, Dirofilaria repens and Dirofilaria immitis. In quantitative terms, geohelminthiasis prevails. The prevalence of infection in dogs reaches 50% with toxocariasis, more than 30% with trichocephaliasis, 10% with dipylidiasis and 17% with dirofilariasis. The following species have been registered in cats: Toxocara mystax, Trichocephalus vulpis and Opisthorchis felines. The prevalence of infection in cats with helminthiasis is lower than in dogs and is 30% with toxocariasis, 9.5% with opisthorchiasis, and 13% with dipylidiasis. From the group of protozoan diseases, one nosological unit, Toxoplasma gondii, was recorded in cats, and the prevalence of infection reaches 43%.

Problems of Creation of Social Experience in Motor Games of Children Aged 5-7 Years

The objective of the study is to identify the level of recreation of social experience by children of 5-7 years old in motor games.
 Methods: theoretical: analysis, synthesis, generalization; empirical: observation and evaluation of independent motor activity of children, game diagnostic situations, conversation; methods of mathematical statistics: Mann-Whitney U-test. Materials. The study involved 625 older preschool children (312 girls and 313 boys) attending Municipal Budgetary Pre-school Educational Institution nursery schools No. 56 and 76 in Belgorod, Municipal Autonomous Pre-school Educational Institution “Gnomik” nursery school No. 78 in Belgorod; Municipal Preschool Educational Institution nursery schools No. 3, 4, and 8 of the city of Valuyki, Belgorod region; Municipal Autonomous Pre-school Educational Institution nursery schools No.2, 32, 35, and 37 of the city of Gubkin, Municipal Budgetary Pre-school Educational Institution "Veselinka" nursery school No. 40 of the city of Gubkin, and Municipal Budgetary Pre-school Educational Institution nursery schools No. 19 and 36 of the city of Gubkin, Belgorod region. Results The relevance of the study is due to the presence of a high potential of motor games in terms of its sociological component and pedagogical determinants. The need to comprehend and implement this potential in pedagogical practice in order to positively socialize a growing person. In modern studies, motor-game activity is considered as a method of complex influence on the child, contributing to his physical, cognitive, communicative, socio-cultural development. Summary. Analysis of the results of the study showed that 78.7% of children aged 5-7 years old successfully use social experience in motor games and show an optimal and sufficient level of its reconstruction. At the same time, 1/5 of the children:
 - have difficulty in planning and discussing joint actions in the game, the distribution of game functions;
 - violate the rules of interaction during the game;
 - insufficiently dynamic and proactive in the development of the plot of the game;
 - feel difficult to determine their own playing roles, the overall assessment of the game.
 Significant gender differences in the reconstruction of social experience in the motor games of older preschoolers have not been found.

The prevalence of obesity in the adult population of the Russian Federation (literature review)

This review analyzes the prevalence of obesity among the adult population in the Russian Federation. The data of various studies, including large international projects (WHO MONICA 1985–1995, HAPIEE 2003–2005), all-Russian screenings (RLMS - HSE 1993, Federal monitoring of arterial hypertension 2003, ESSE-RF 2013 — present.), as well as selected regional studies. In some regions, the long-term dynamics of obesity has been studied. The history of studying the epidemiology of obesity in Russia has more than thirty years. According to the data obtained, the prevalence of obesity throughout the country remains high and continues to increase. Thus, among men, the prevalence increased from 10.8% in 1993 to 27.9% in 2017, among women — from 26.4% to 31.8%, respectively. In all regions where it was possible to assess long-term trends, the prevalence of obesity among adults increased (maximum — 48.5% in the Belgorod region). In the adult population, obesity is more common in women (maximum — 47.0% in the Novosibirsk region) than in men (maximum — 30.0% in Ivanovo and Voronezh regions). It is necessary to expand the number of regions in Russia in which studies of the prevalence of obesity are carried out, as well as to strengthen measures to combat overweight and obesity in all age groups throughout the country.

The main risk factors for the development of cerebral palsy in children

Introduction. Currently, worldwide the formation of cerebral palsy (CP) makes a great contribution to the gain in childhood disability prevalence. The goal is to conduct a comparative analysis of risk factors and the main causes of the development of CP in children living in the Belgorod region for the period from 2020 to 2021. Materials and methods. There were analyzed histories of two hundred two CP children aged from four months to seven years. Results. Spastic forms of the disease predominated in the structure of infantile CP. Significantly more often this pathology occurred in premature babies at an early age and children residing in urban areas. The most frequent risk factors for the onset of the disease were such pathology of pregnancy as chronic fetoplacental insufficiency and chronic intrauterine fetal hypoxia. Delayed psycho-speech development had a leading place among all manifestations of the central nervous system in CP patients is beyond doubt. An analysis of the causes leading to the onset of the disease showed that in most cases it is not possible to discriminate one of them, since a combination of several unfavourable factors is often noted during pregnancy and parturition. CP children require constant care from relatives, long courses of complex drug and rehabilitation treatment.

Gender differences in attitudes to health: a regional aspect

Health is the highest value, which was further confirmed by the events related to the spread of coronavirus infection, which destabilized all social processes. This article discusses scientific approaches that explain the specifics of the formation of gender-specific attitudes to health. In this article, an attempt is made to analyze the gender characteristics of the attitude to health in relation to the regional attempt. The significance of the study of the practices of health-saving behavior of men and women in conditions of increased epidemiological load is determined. The analysis carried out in the article is based on the results of a sociological study conducted in April–May 2021 among the population of the Kursk and Belgorod regions. The sample size was 657 people. Based on the results obtained, regional peculiarities of behavior in the field of health of residents of Kursk and Belgorod are identified.

Identification of limiting resources in the diets of cows to hypomicroelementoses prevention

The analysis of feed for lactating cows in 19 farms of eight districts of the Belgorod region was carried out from 1985 to 2021. Examined: green feed, roughage of natural and artificial drying, succulent feed (including canned feed), grain and its processed products, food industry waste, feed of animals and bacteriogenic. The minerals in feed were examined in the testing laboratory of the Belgorod State Agrarian University according to state standards. Reference analysis of the minerals in the feed for cows in the farms of the Belgorod region with the data of the "Federal research center for animal husbandry standards" has been carried out. Investigations of diet for lactating cows, taking into account the data presented in the "Recommendations on the chemical composition and nutritional value of feeds used to compose rations for farm animals in the Belgorod region", We found that rations are deficient in phosphorus by 40.9%, copper - by 32.6%, zinc - by 42.8%, cobalt - by 26.8%, iodine - by 32.9% and superfluity of iron. Calcium was over the limit by 31.0%, manganese - by 22.9%. Forage harvested on the farms of the Belgorod Region, a biogeochemical province with a low content of copper, zinc, sulfur and iodine in soils, cannot be considered complete in terms of mineral composition. To lactating cows hypomicroelementoses prevention necessary to set a correction factor when calculating the balance of rations and be sure to use feed mineral supplements, including limited minerals in quantities necessary not only to ensure the normal vital activity of cows, but also to obtain genetically inherent milk productivity from them.

Influence of growing regions on losses from physiological diseases of fruits cv. Honeycrisp

The work was carried out at the Federal Research Center named after I.V. Michurin (Tambov region, Russia) in 2019, using fruits cv. Honeycrisp with a high susceptibility to bitter pit (BP), low temperature breakdown (LTB) and soft scald (SS). Studied fruits were grown at commercial orchards from 6 regions of the Central Federal District (Moscow, Tula, Lipetsk, Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh). The aim of the research was to assess the influence of meteorological factors of different growing regions on the susceptibility of fruits to physiological diseases during storage. The maximum susceptibility to BP is observed for fruits from the Southern region of the Central Federal District (Kursk, Voronezh, Belgorod regions) with high air temperatures (> 25 °C) and moisture deficit (HTC <0.7) during the growing season. The fruits from the Northern region of the Central Federal District (Moscow, Tula regions) with low air temperatures (minimum temperatures <10 °C) and sufficient moisture supply during the growing season (HTC > 1) are characterized by the maximum susceptibility to SS and LTB. An intermediate position is occupied by the Lipetsk region, where the risks of BP, SS and LTB development are quite high. Stressful agronomic factors such as young age of plantations (1-2 years of fruiting), low yield, strong pruning, etc. can cause the development of BP regardless of growing region, with higher risks of disease development under stressful meteorological conditions.

Technology and rules for storing oilseeds in the Belgorod region

In the work, the terms and modes of sunflower storage were determined. The state of sown areas and the yield of oilseeds have been analyzed. It has been established that sunflower seeds with a moisture content of no more than 7.0% and an infestation of no more than 2.0% should be laid for long-term storage. It was revealed that for temporary storage (for a period of up to 1 month) - sunflower seeds with a moisture content of no more than 9.0% and an infestation of no more than 3.0%, provided they are actively ventilated. Sunflower seeds with a moisture content of more than 7.0% should be stored at currents for no more than 1 day. The norms of natural loss of sunflower seeds during storage have been studied; they depend on the variety, method and period (3, 6 months and 1 year) of storage of batches of sunflower seeds. It is proposed to consider that the guaranteed shelf life of sunflower seeds is six months from the date of storage. After the expiration of the guaranteed storage period, the quality of the seeds must be checked for compliance with the standard; in case of positive results of the analysis, the storage period is extended.

Ways to develop highly profitable organic tillage technologies in rural regions

The use of organic technologies in the Russian Federation is considered by us as the most important condition for improving agricultural production, leading to optimization and minimization of the most important environmental, social and economic problems. One of such organic technologies is the highly profitable technology proposed by us for combining zero plowing of the earth with mulching of the soil with natural mulch of various plant origin. The article substantiates the high efficiency of the new organic technology in the first year of use. Thus, according to the calculated data, the profitability of the project can be up to 75 percent, which is significantly higher than the average for the agro-industrial complex of the Belgorod region and the Russian Federation as a whole - 17-20 percent profitability.

Applicability of antieimeriosis drugs and phytobiotic for chickens with artificial inoculation eimeriosis and effect of these preparations on the quality of post-vaccination immunity

The artificial inoculation of broiler chickens the Hisex Brown cross with a three types of eimeria, the smallest body weight loss of chickens was in the group that received the ionophoric antibiotic lasalocid with feed, anti-coccidiosis drug decoquinat and the complex phytobiotic "AdiKox AR". The use of the ionophoric antibiotic monensin and the synthetic coccidiostatic drug robenidin showed the least sensitivity of eimeria to them, which adversely affected the body weight of broiler chickens. In the blood serum of chickens taken on the 20th day after their first vaccination at one day of age with the Nobilis ND C2 vaccine by the spray method against the associated with artificial infection with a mixture of eimeria at 10 days of age and preliminary prophylactic feeding of them with drugs from different pharmacological groups, specific immunity to Newcastle the disease was unevenly distributed among the groups. The weakest group immunity was observed in the group of infected control chickens that did not receive drugs. In all groups that received supplements of chemotherapeutic agents with food, with the group immunity indicator acceptable in the vaccine instructions, there were zero individual titers. The complex phytobiotic "AdiCox AR" stimulated the production of high group post-vaccination immunity in chickens against Newcastle disease (74%) without zero individual titers. For the eimeriosis prevention and high-quality vaccination of broiler chickens against Newcastle disease at the poultry farm of the Belgorod Region, we recommend feeding the complex phytobiotic "AdiKox AR" at a dose of 300 g/t of feed for 10 days or more. The use of lasalocide and decoquinate for the coccidiosis prevention in a poultry farm is permissible with the condition of rotation and monitoring of the sensitivity of eimeria to drugs. The use of monensin and robenidin, according to the results of the experiment, is considered inappropriate.

Monitoring work on the study of the biodiversity of the flora of the reserves

Monitoring assessment of the state of conservation area is a relevant and important direction in ecology. However, not all parameters of the ecological balance are checked by state services. The wide scale of specially protected areas also makes it difficult to analyze them in detail by all indicators. Therefore, it is significant to conduct a comprehensive study of such sites locally, taking into account the diversity of environmental sustainability indicators. The paper analyzes the biological diversity of flora within one of the reserves of the Belgorod region, with an emphasis on the state of tree species. The morphological assessment of the discovered species and their ecological characteristics are given. The influence of the industrial zone of the adjacent territories on the vegetation of the reserve and the microbial equilibrium of the soil cover was evaluated. In general, the ecological state of the flora is assessed as good; the microbial composition corresponds to the typical for chernozem soils. At the same time, recommendations are given for further monitoring of biodiversity indicators in this area, in order to maintain the ecological balance, preserve the species composition of vegetation and the diversity of the soil microbial community.

Content and Balance of Trace Elements (Co, Mn, Zn) in Agroecosystems of the Central Chernozemic Region of Russia

This work is devoted to the study of the provision of arable soils with mobile forms of the most important trace elements (cobalt, manganese, and zinc). In modern Russian agriculture, the low provision of soils with trace elements is one of the reasons leading to lower yields and the deteriorating quality of most crops. The materials of the regional and local agroecological monitoring of soils in Belgorod region, which is part of the Central Black Earth region of Russia, were used in this work. The results of the local agroecological monitoring showed that the average gross contents of manganese, zinc, and cobalt in arable chernozems in the typical forest-steppe zone were respectively 345, 36.5, and 8.48 mg/kg, and in chernozems common in the steppe zone the contents were 397, 42.9, and 9.51 mg/kg. In the distribution of the gross contents of the studied trace elements in the profile of arable chernozems, a tendency of a gradual decrease in their concentrations with increasing depth was revealed. According to the results of the regional agroecological monitoring of arable soils in the Belgorod region for 2015–2018, it was found that the proportion of soils with a low content of mobile compounds of zinc (&lt;2 mg/kg) was 90.3%; for cobalt (&lt;0.2 mg/kg) and manganese (&lt;10 mg/kg), the proportions were 99.3% and 38.6%, respectively. In these soils, it is advisable to introduce microfertilizers containing trace elements that are in deficit. The main sources of the manganese, zinc, and cobalt input to agroecosystems are organic fertilizers, which account for 79.3%, 86.3%, and 66.6% of the total amounts, respectively. Losses of manganese and cobalt from agroecosystems mainly occur as a result of the washing away of arable soils—82.8% and 96.8% of total losses, respectively—and 60.5% of zinc losses are due to alienation by the marketable part of the crop. A positive balance had been a feature of zinc, with an intensity of 106%, while manganese and cobalt had a negative balance, with intensities of 61.3% and 25.3%, respectively.

Designing a Biogas Plant for an Educational and Scientific Livestock Complex

To design biogas plants, it is necessary to have accurate data about the properties and biogas productivity of the available substrates. Reference data should not be used because the performance of the same substrate can vary significantly. In this research,chicken, horse, sheep and rabbit manure from one of the farms inthe Belgorod region of Russia were analyzed, and the parameters of a biogas station for the processing of this raw material were calculated.The biogas yield of the substrates was determined using the Hohenheim Biogas Yield Test. It was found that the specific biogas yield from the droppings of broilers, laying hens, rabbits, sheep, and horses, and from corn silage were, respectively, 456, 363, 390, 189, 116 and 618 ml/g оDM. The methane content in the biogas was 58.00, 58.50, 57.00, 62.00, 65.00 and 53.60%, respectively. In most cases, the obtained results differed significantly from the data presented in publications of other researchers and reference books.The biogas plant parameter calculations were made according to generally accepted equations, taking into account the characteristics of the studied substrates. Based on the results, it can be concluded that to dispose of the animal excrement of this farm, it is necessary to build a biogas plant with a bioreactor of volume 102.2 m3 and an engine with a power of 12 to 31 kW. The planned output of electric and thermal energy would be 246.19 and 410.27 kWh/day, respectively.&#x0D; Keywords: Hohenheim Biogas Yield Test, rabbit manure, horse dung, sheep manure, chicken droppings, biogas yield of substrates

Проблемы формирования конфликтологической компетентности муниципальных служащих (по материалам социологического исследования)

The article introduces a sociological survey that featured the development of conflict management skills in municipal employees of the Belgorod region. The methods involved a questionnaire survey and a semi-structured interview of Belgorod municipal authorities, teaching staff of the Higher School of Management of the Belgorod State University, and employees of the Institute of Regional Personnel Policy of Belgorod. The reasons behind the conflicts were divided into those caused by the specifics of the municipal service, the peculiarities of team relations, and the individual characteristics of a municipal employee. The results of the study can improve the practical work of municipal personnel departments or be used in teaching sociological disciplines. Further study is required to develop diagnostic methods to identify the conflict management skills in municipal officials, collect information, define conditions and patterns of development, draft resolution procedures, etc.

The effect of the feed additive Bioprotectin-KD on the productivity of dairy cows and the correction of the microbiota of calves

The results of tests of a new combined feed additive Bioprotektin-KD based on milk thistle extract with the addition of a complex of bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium to restore intestinal microbiota of animals are presented. Preclinical studies on the effectiveness of the feed additive were conducted on mice with experimental antibiotic-associated dysbacteriosis. Studies on the intestinal microbiota of mice revealed varying degrees of effect of different doses of feed additive on the recovery of resident microflora. The results of pre-clinical studies have proven the harmlessness, non-toxicity and efficacy of the feed additive. Clinical trials of the additive were carried out on productive animals. Its effect on the productivity of black-motley breed cows in a livestock farm in the Belgorod region was studied. The use of the functional feed additive Bioprotectin-KD had a positive effect on the milk productivity of black-motley breed cows. Cows in the experimental groups that received the feed additive had increased their milk yield per lactation by 209.41-499.01 kg compared to the control animals, which was 4.01-8.78%. The quality indicators of milk have increased. The composition of the microflora of the experimental (feed supplement recipients) and control calves was studied. It was found that the quantitative composition of probiotic flora in the intestines of young calves of the control group remained practically unchanged throughout the experiment. The number of indigeneous microflora (lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) increased in the experimental animals. The content of lactic acid microorganisms in the experimental calves began to increase on day 6 of feed supplementation and reached physiological norm on day 30. The safety index of the product has been calculated. The use of the functional feed additive Bioprotektin-KD in conditions of a livestock complex has improved such production indicators as calf survival, average daily weight gain, and milk productivity of cows in the experimental groups of animals as compared to the control ones.

Особенности Я-концепции и образа героя у современной молодежи

Introduction. This article describes the image of the “hero” as perceived by modern youth. The authors analyze the structure and specifics of the connection between the image of the “hero” and the images of “I-real” and “I-ideal” among high school students. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on a sample of 176 high school (grades 10 and 11) students in Belgorod Region. The study was carried out according to a quasi-experimental design. In the first part of the study, the subjects wrote an essay to answer two questions: “Who can be called a hero today and why?” and “Who is an ordinary modern person and why can they be called so?” In the second part, the subjects filled out the tests “Who am I?” and “Who is the Hero?” (both are modifications of the test by M. Kuhn and T. McPartland). In the third part, the subjects filled out the Aspects of Identity Questionnaire (AIQ-IV) by J. M. Cheek and L. R. Tropp for the “real I”, and its modifications for the “ideal I” and the image of the “hero”. Conclusion. The study revealed that high school students often choose real people as images of “heroes”. The images of “heroes” are not included in the ideas of young people about the ideal and do not play an essential role in the identification processes. Modern young people want a calm, balanced and unremarkable life. Their lives do not involve striving for lofty ideals and restless heroism. The experiment also revealed that high school students consider the hero to be an active figure who is in the public eye. “Willingness to sacrifice something for the sake of others” was found to be the leading quality in the image of the “hero”. In the subjects’ view, the hero has nothing to do with work, and labour is the lot of an ordinary modern person. The respondents tend to consider the image of the “hero” to be outside of time or in the past. They view this image as having almost no ties to the context of modernity.

ПРАКТИЧЕСКОЕ ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ РЕЗУЛЬТАТОВ РЕЙТИНГОВОЙ ОЦЕНКИ СОЦИАЛЬНО – ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО РАЗВИТИЯ МУНИЦИПАЛЬНЫХ ОБРАЗОВАНИЙ РЕГИОНА

In modern economic conditions in some regions of the country, there is a territorial inequality of the socio-economic situation at the level of municipalities. The quality of municipal government, from the point of view of the final result, is considered within the framework of its impact on the socio-economic development of municipal territories, contributing to the improvement of the living conditions of the population in various areas. The article presents the results of a rating assessment of the level of socio-economic development of municipalities in the Belgorod region. Currently, there is a growing interest in information about the socio-economic condition and development of municipal territories within the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. During the study, the methods of system analysis, the tabular method, and economic and statistical methods of analysis were widely used. Taking into account the data of municipal statistics, a set of indicators has been formed, on the basis of which the socio-economic development of municipalities is assessed. A scoring of the level of socio-economic development was carried out according to the data of 2020. On the basis of municipal statistics, intermediate tables were developed, taking into account the information received, the rank of municipalities in the region was calculated in the context of each of the criteria. To determine the rank, we used a scale from 1 to 21, which corresponds to the number of municipal districts and urban districts in the region. The lowest value of each indicator was assigned the lowest rank. Based on the data obtained, it is planned to implement a differentiated approach to the management of municipalities with different levels of socio-economic development, which will make it possible to determine priority areas and instruments of regulatory impact for each group of municipalities.

The human activities impact on the morphological structure of the landscape soil catenas in different stages of agricultural development of the central black soil region

The studies of the age influence of agricultural development on topogenic soil interfaces were carried out in Belgorod region on two main plots contacting to broad-forest and meadow-stepp zone landscapes of forest steppe. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of agricultural development in different years on the arable soils properties. As a result of field studies, 41 sections were studied in a broad-leaved forest main area (13 sections in the background area, 14 sections each on plowed catenas of different development ages) and 32 sections in a meadow-steppe area (6 sections on background catenas and 12 sections each on plowed catenas). A common pattern characterizing the agrogenic evolution of topogenic soil conjugations in the southern and northern exposures is their progradation into black soils as the use age increases. We have identified the following groups of external anthropogenic factors that directly affect the soil fertility after a long agricultural development: mechanical (pressure on the soil and its treatment with agricultural technology, the creation of micro - and nano - reliefs); organizational and territorial (linear boundaries and forest belts); chemical (applied fertilizers, although in small quantities, but affecting the micro ecosystem of studied areas).
