Enhanced methodology to assess business research community serving extended realities movement

Virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, known collectively as extended realities (XR), have the potential to transform businesses but research service is required. This report explores the productivity of XR-related in business research. This paper has enhanced the traditional bibliometric approach by integrating it with a mathematical supplement, Expedited Analytical Hierarchy Process (EAHP). This enhanced methodology allows for a nuanced evaluation of research service productivity and offers direction for future research efforts. Productivity is evaluated in terms of the effectiveness and efficiency of research results, so creating a bibliometrics index for commenting on research effectiveness and evaluating research efficiency criteria from a publication standpoint, the work added to the field. Analysis of the collected scientometrics data show the field is not yet optimally productive, leading to a call for increased focus on future research. Besides, the utilization of EAHP's systematics way to convert the data into a future research direction, with mixed reality found to require more attention than other XRs. A complementary literature analysis step highlights the practical application of XRs in business and the growing importance of the XR-owned worlds, metaverses. As a result, this study found evidence to argue that the services provided by the business research community are not optimally productive when dealing with the XR movement, and it calls for more attention to support businesses.

Signs of long-term adaptation and their relationship with the indicators of reproductive qualities in sows of the universal direction of productivity

The paper presents the results of the study of signs of long-term adaptation and indicators of reproductive qualities of sows of the universal direction of productivity, as well as calculates the economic efficiency of research results. The experimental part of the work was performed in the agricultural formations of the Dnipropetrovsk region and the laboratory of animal husbandry of the State Institution “Institute of Grain Crops of NAAS of Ukraine”. The work was performed in accordance with the research program № 31 “Genetic improvement of farm animals, their reproduction and conservation of biodiversity (Genetics, conservation, and reproduction of bioresources in animal husbandry)”, task – 31.02.01.18. pigs of different genotypes and to develop an integrated system for creating a highly productive population” (№ DR 0121U107903). Evaluation of sows on the indicators of long-term adaptation and reproductive qualities was carried out taking into account the following characteristics: life expectancy, months; duration of breeding use, months; farrowing was obtained; received piglets total, ch.; obtained live piglets, ch.; multiplicity, ch.; nest weight at the time of weaning at the age of 28 days, kg; safety of piglets before weaning, %. The index “level of adaptation” was calculated according to the method of Smirnov (2003), the index of reproductive qualities – according to the method of M. D. Berezovsky. Economic efficiency of research results and biometric processing of the obtained data were carried out according to generally accepted methods. It is established that sows of large white breeds of the controlled herd are characterized by rather high indicators of reproductive qualities and level of adaptation to conditions of intensive technology of operation. The life expectancy of sows in the main herd is 44.1 months, the duration of breeding use – 32.8 months, the index “level of adaptation” – 11.87 points. According to the indicators of fertility and nest weight at the time of weaning, the animals of the main herd belong to the first class and the elite class. Taking into account intra-breed differentiation according to the index “level of adaptation” sows of class M- significantly outperformed peers of class M+ in life expectancy by 54.77 %, duration of breeding use – by 71.48 %, index “level of adaptation” – by 66.09 %. Significant differences between groups of animals of these classes were found by multiplicity (td = 2.22; P < 0.05), nest weight at the time of weaning at the age of 28 days, kg (td = 2.56; P < 0.01) and index MD Berezovsky (td = 2.60; P < 0.01). The coefficients of pair correlation between traits that characterize the level of adaptation and reproductive qualities of sows range from -0.704 (tr = 10.80) to +0.982 (tr = 213.05). The use of sow class M- according to the index “level of adaptation” provides an increase in additional products at the level of +5.71 %, or 140.80 UAH. We propose to select repair young stock from sows of the leading group with the index “level of adaptation” of 6.55–8.08 points in the conditions of breeding plants and breeders, as well as industrial complexes.

The large white breed sows’ reproductive qualities using traditional and innovative methods of evaluation are presented, the level of correlations between traits is determined and the economic efficiency of research results is calculated. Sows’ reproductive qualities were studied taking into account the following characteristics: fertility, highfertility, milk yield, number of piglets at weaning, litter weight at weaning at the age of 28–35 days, survival of piglets before weaning. An integrated assessment of sows reproductive qualities was performed according to the sows’ litter uniformity (homogeneity) index by live weight of newborn piglets (Khalak V. I., 2012), sow breeding reproductive qualities index (СІBЯС), (Tcserenyuk O. M., 2010) and Berezovsky M. D. index (Vashchenko P. A., 2019). It has been established that sows of the elite class, according to the sow reproductive qualities selection index (СІBЯС) and the Berezovsky M. D. index dominated peers of class II and class M+ in terms of fertility by an average of 33.40%, milk yield by 32.98% and litter weight at the time of weaning by 26.46%. The criterion for selection of highly productive animals are sows of the elite class, 97.85–123.99 points — according to the sow reproductive qualities selection index (СІBЯС) and 40.18–50.58 — according to the Berezovsky M. D. index. The pairwise correlation coefficient between the characteristics of reproductive qualities ranges from –0.307 to +0.995. The number of reliable connections is 85.71%. The maximum increase in production on the nest weight indicator at the time of weaning at the age of 28–30 days (kg) was obtained from sows of the elite class (+11.07%), as well as M+ on the sows reproductive qualities selection index (СІBЯС) (+16.16%) and the Berezovsky M. D. index (+16.05%).
