STATE AND PROSPECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN UKRAINE AND GREAT BRITAIN IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR

This article considers the prospects of economic relations between Great Britain and Ukraine in the agricultural area. Both countries have significant potential in this field, which creates unique opportunities for cooperation and development. Ukraine, which is one of the leading producers of grain, oil and other agricultural products, is one of the guarantee givers of food security in the world. On the other hand, Great Britain has a great demand for quality organic products, what Ukraine can use to expand the export range of agricultural production. Cooperation between two countries may involve the exchange of technologies, the expansion of sales markets and joint projects in the cultivation of organic products. However, in order to achieve success, it is important to develop infrastructure, bring production in line with international quality and safety standards, as well as intensify business contacts and facilitate the exchange of information between agricultural enterprises of both countries. Taking into account the potential and advantages, agricultural cooperation between Great Britain and Ukraine can contribute to sustainable economic development and ensuring food security.

МЕТОДОЛОГИЧЕСКОЕ ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЕ ИМПЛЕМЕНТАЦИИ МЕЖДУНАРОДНЫХ СТАНДАРТОВ ПО БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ ПОЛЕТОВ В РОССИЙСКИХ НОРМАТИВНЫХ ДОКУМЕНТАХ

The present paper delves into the challenge of implementing international flight safety standards into the Russian regulatory framework governing the establishment, application, and refinement of aviation safety management systems (SMS) in the civil aviation sector in Russia. It underscores the reliance of SMS regulatory adherence on the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) set forth by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The paper conducts an examination of prevailing discrepancies, indeterminacies, and ambiguities in delineating core terms and concepts within the English and Russian renditions of ICAO SARPs documentation. Furthermore, it offers an evaluation of the implementation hurdles associated with SARPs in regulatory documentation pertaining to civil aviation flight safety in Russia. The deficiencies in the regulatory infrastructure for flight safety in Russia are substantiated. Drawing from practical insights gained in formulating and improving regulatory and methodological support for SMS in prominent Russian airlines, the paper proposes measures to mitigate inaccuracies and uncertainties in the integration of ICAO SARPs editions within the Russian regulatory framework for aviation industry service providers.

Advances and challenges in animal source food inspection legislation for Brazilian small-scale and artisanal producers.

The strict sanitary inspection legislation of animal source food has been considered a trade barrier for smallholder farmers and small-scale producers in Brazil. In this sense, law flexibilization is suggested to facilitate national trade of these products. We conducted a social and sanitary analysis, presenting the current Brazilian conjuncture and difficulties for animal source food Brazilian inspection law flexibilization. By discussing inequalities, human rights issues, animal source food legislation, and international food safety standards, we evidenced critical barriers for legislative reform in Brazil. Among these barriers, the main ones are social inequalities; high zoonotic risk of animal source food products; the Brazilian political structure and its reflection on different inspection practices among country jurisdictions; and the lack of inspection services in most Brazilian municipalities. At the same time, we present positive updates in the normative framework, and point out game-changers to modify the actual safety and trade situations of Brazilian small-scale and artisanal animal source food products, including policies to strengthen state and municipal inspection services and harmonization initiatives based on international standards and national legislation. We also suggest policies to implement inspection services in municipalities, whether by municipal action or by a consortium, as well as policies to strengthen technical assistance and rural extension for small-scale and artisanal producers. These policies aim to reduce technical and sanitary education inequalities and build a fairer animal source food system.

Agricultural reform in Ukraine: the history and present

The purpose of the research is to reveal the process of implementing the agrarian reform in Ukraine as a natural stage of the development of the country's agriculture during the last 100 years. The existing problems in Ukrainian agriculture were considered and it was established that these problems have their roots in the past, in the 20s of the 20th century, when the natural development of agriculture was interrupted, Ukraine became part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), private ownership of agricultural land and private farms were liquidated, collective and state agricultural enterprises were created instead. The paper analyzes the initial stage of agrarian reform in Ukraine at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries after gaining state independence, and it is concluded that agrarian transformations in the country took place quite completely, in comparison with the countries of Eastern Europe. One of the reasons for this state of affairs was the low efficiency of the management of this process on the part of the state authorities responsible for the reform, particularly land reform as a key factor in all agrarian transformations. Only after the beginning of the wide implementation of land reform and reforming of collective agricultural enterprises in the early 2000s, a rapid increase in the volume and efficiency of agricultural production began. The long-term moratorium on the sale and purchase of agricultural land (more than 30 years) was based on political, not economic, reasons. In the analysis of the prospects for the development of domestic agriculture in the period after the agrarian reform, modern comprehensive programs of strategic directions for increasing the efficiency of the industry and rural areas were used, in the development of which the author was involved. These state programs, namely the "Unified comprehensive strategy and action plan for the development of agriculture and rural areas in Ukraine for 2015-2020" and the "National Economic Strategy 2030" conclude with the main task of creating a competitive, export-oriented agriculture and the production of competitive food products in accordance with international safety and quality standards in the context of the European integration of Ukraine. The research methodology is based on the use of publications by Ukrainian and foreign researchers devoted to the analysis of economic transformation in Ukraine and other countries of the former socialist camp, as well as scientific developments by authors, in particular, as a member of teams of international experts and consultants on the development and implementation of agrarian reform in Ukraine. Further directions of research, which were covered in the article, should be aimed at the development of integration processes in the market structure of the European Union, adaptation of the national agrarian policy to the Common EU policy. This is to provide an opportunity to increase the welfare of agricultural workers, the efficiency and productivity of the domestic agrarian industry.

Design and Development of IoT based Smart System for Monitoring Laboratory Environment

This study was conducted to address the critical issue of the poor safety management system in laboratories, through the design of a smart laboratory management facility based on the Internet of Things (IoT). In this design, three major safety parameters-fire, temperature and carbon (ii) oxide (CO) levels were monitored by appropriate sensors, which transmit data to the microcontroller (Arduino) for interpretation. The Arduino microprocessor processed the data received from the sensor(s), makes decisions based on the predefined algorithms. Based on the decisions made by the Arduino, the microprocessor sends instructions to a relay module triggered the necessary actions to be taken by the output hardware devices-fire extinguisher, air conditioning system and exhaust fan unit. The temperature monitoring system was designed at an operational range of 18°C to 25°C, the CO control unit was designed to maintain the CO concentration inside the laboratory at a level not exceeding 4 parts per million (ppm), as approved by the World Health Organization; while fire control unit was designed to detect the presence of smoke of naked fire inside the building. In the event that any of these parameters breach safety thresholds, the smart structure's safety system will trigger the appropriate responses. The designed structure was built in compliance with international safety standards. Results obtained through the testing and evaluation of the system revealed that the smart system had overall performance efficiency of 91% and false output of 9%. The system's failure rate of 9% can be reduced by employing advanced sensors and adjusting the delay rate. The findings of this study revealed that IoT and automation can successfully monitor and protect the working environment inside laboratories.

Survey of dermestid beetles using UV-light traps in two food industry facilities in the Czech Republic: One year field study

There is a growing interest in stored product Dermestidae species due to their capacity to damage and contaminate stored products of animal and vegetable origin. Limited published information is available on surveys of these pests in museums, grain commodity storage facilities, and mills, with a noticeable absence of surveys in the food industry. Notably, information on dermestid monitoring using a colour or UV light sticky traps, which are required as part of international food safety standards and ISO pest control procedures for food facilities, is lacking. This study represents the first report on dermestid surveys conducted in a beverage and a food packaging facility premises using traps that combine UV light with yellow sticky plates in central Europe. A total of 1031 dermestid beetle individuals were captured in the two facilities during a one-year survey period. During the sampling period, there was a seasonal trend with the maximum captured individuals from spring to early autumn, and no individuals during winter. These population fluctuations followed a similar pattern in the two facilities. In total, 13 species belonging to five genera were identified. The highest cumulative captures were found for Reesa vespulae and Anthrenus verbasci found in both facilities, followed by Trogoderma glabrum, which occurred in high numbers in the food packaging facility. Our data indicate that R. vespulae (an invasive species) is attracted to UV light + yellow traps, and its high frequency and abundance suggest that since its first isolated detection in the Czech Republic in 1987, it has proven to be a significantly spreading pest species.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Bis(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate (BEHP) in the Soil of Teff-Acacia decurrens-Charcoal Production System in Northern Ethiopia

The current study is aimed at investigating the level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (BEHP), which pose a potential risk to human health, in soil samples collected from a teff-Acacia decurrerns-charcoal production system (TACP system) in northern Ethiopia. Soil samples were collected from the TACP system and from an adjacent teff monocropping system (TM system) from 0 to 20 cm soil depth. Individual PAHs and total concentrations of PAHs and BEHP generally exhibited no significant variation between the TM and the TACP systems over three rotations. In the land-use systems, the mean concentration of PAHs decreased in the order phenanthrene > fluorene > pyrene > chrysene. Fluorene (22.84–24.69 ng g−1 dry soil), pyrene (21.99 ng g−1), and chrysene (21.79 ng g−1) were detected in the TACP system only, suggesting that they were from charcoal production. The maximum concentration of BEHP recorded in the soil samples was 104.00 µg g−1, which could be attributed to the polyethylene (PE) bags used for planting the Acacia decurrens seedlings of the TACP system. In soil samples, the sum of all PAHs analyzed ranged from not detected (ND) to 170.69 ng g−1, which is below the limits of prevention established by European regulations for soils (3000 ng g−1) and previous studies. Carcinogenic equivalent (BaP-TEQ) and mutagenic equivalent (BaP-MEQ) concentrations calculated for the individual PAHs in the land-use systems ranged from ND to 0.374 ng g−1 and from ND to 0.218 ng g−1, respectively, which is far below many international safety standards. Our results indicate that the charcoal production and the use of the charcoal residues as soil amendment in the TACP system is safe concerning soil contamination by PAHs and BEHP and the risk of cancer and mutation.

Organophosphorus pesticide contaminants in fruits and vegetables: A meta-analysis

The worldwide demand for organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) in food production has raised concerns about pesticide residues. Meta-analysis, proven effective in assessing contaminants like aflatoxins and organotin compounds, is applied here to comprehensively study OP contamination in fresh fruits and vegetables. Employing Comprehensive Meta-Analysis V3.0 software, we meticulously examined 24 relevant articles encompassing 69,467 data points. Our findings revealed that while the residual concentrations of OPs (such as chlorpyrifos and profenofos) in most fruits and vegetables have typically met international or national safety standards, including Codex Alimentarius Commission, European Union, British, and Chinese standards, there are some instances in which the maximum residue limits have been exceeded, posing safety risks. Therefore, significant efforts are required to maintain residual OP contamination at safe concentrations.

Risk analysis and management according to Russian and international safety standards

The paper analyzes the safety aspects outlined in national standards. The considered normative documentation answers the question of how to achieve acceptable risk levels. The basic concepts of risk assessment are presented. Positive changes in Russian safety standards are noted. There is no unified code in the legislation of the Russian Federation on environmental issues: there are federal laws, codes on certain environmental areas, as well as bylaws and legal acts of the subjects of the Russian Federation. Federal Law No. 7 “On Environmental Protection” should be mentioned among the main laws related to the regulation of environmental safety in construction. However, this law regulates the employer's leadership rather than their responsibility. The use of certain fines and penalties seems quite reasonable within the framework of improving environmental audit and management. At the same time, the international standard ISO 14001:2015 is aimed at forming a responsible attitude toward the ecosystem and natural resources as the most important asset of economic activity, rather than at specifying the need for managers to demonstrate leadership qualities as the main factor of environmental safety. As a result, risk analysts cannot be fully guided by the standards because they are not aligned with the universal international standard ISO 31000:2018, which creates a significant problem. An approach to risk assessment that describes the interaction of different scenarios should be developed, which will provide an increased ecological and economic effect.

Assessing the Impact of Data Sciences and Smart Technologies in Air Conditioning Project Management: A Delphi Method Analysis within the Construction Industry

The integration of data sciences and smart technologies in the construction industry, particularly in air conditioning project management, is an important area of research. This study employs the Delphi Method to explore this integration, surveying 40 experts in construction management. Participants were meticulously selected based on a set of inclusion criteria related to age, educational qualifications, and field experience. The study tests five hypotheses, each scrutinized through a score-based Delphi analysis. The findings are mixed and shed new light on several dimensions of air conditioning project management. For instance, the study refutes the commonly held belief that the location of air conditioning projects significantly impacts worker safety. It also challenges the assumption that exceeding international safety standards like ISO leads to cost savings. On the other hand, the study validates the significance of global safety standards and the undeniable role of data sciences and smart technologies in enhancing human safety in the air conditioning industry. These findings not only challenge existing models, but also open avenues for further research. They indicate a complex interplay between safety, cost-effectiveness, and technological integration in air conditioning project management. The study suggests a shift towards data-driven decision-making and underscores the need for international safety standards, particularly in an era marked by rapid technological advancements and globalization.

Evaluation of the safety standards system of power batteries for electric vehicles in China

In recent years, electric vehicle safety incidents related to batteries have occurred frequently enough to question the adequacy of the current international safety standards. As the world's leading producer of batteries for electric vehicles, China has thus formulated its own national standards, but there are questions as to the unique value of these standards. This review paper analyzes the Chinese safety standards from the perspective of the battery materials, cells, modules, battery systems, battery management systems, and vehicles. The findings from the analysis of the Chinese standards is used to provide suggestions for building better international battery safety standards with recommendations for different battery levels, battery life cycle design and emerging battery technologies.

Heavy Metals in the Striped Snakehead Murrel Channa striata and Sediments of Lake Mainit Philippines with Notes on Piscine Micronuclei Occurrence

Lake Mainit is the deepest lake in the Philippines, with sporadic documentation of various types of aquatic pollution. This paper reports the heavy metal content in the muscles of the striped snakehead murell Channa striata and bottom sediments from five stations across Lake Mainit using quadrupole-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (Q-ICP-MS). The micronuclei (MN) formation in erythrocytes of C. striata was also assessed for potential genotoxicity. The relative order of the average concentrations of heavy metals in C. striata samples across all stations is Zn>Cu>Cr>Ni>As>Pb>Cd. As per international safety standards, fish muscle samples across all stations have exceeded the permissible limits of Cu, Ni, and Zn, which has implications for health risks in humans consuming this important fish commodity. The relative order of the concentrations of heavy metals in sediments is Cr>Ni>Cu>Zn>As>Pb>Cd, where Cr, Ni, Cu, Pb, and Zn exceeded safety standards. The MN assay revealed that 98% of the erythrocytes assessed (N=147,000 RBCs) have normal cell morphology. Of the 2% of erythrocytic nuclear alterations (ENAs), 55% are found to be fragmented-apoptotic cells, while 31% are elongated or reshaped. The MNs in C. striata are relatively minimal at 2%. While the MN assay implies that C. striata from Lake Mainit are not at risk for potential genotoxic injury, the present study calls for seasonal monitoring for heavy metals in sediments and other fishery resources in Lake Mainit.

Alarm rationalization in engineering projects: analyzing cost-saving measures and efficiency gains

Alarm rationalization is a critical process in engineering projects, focusing on optimizing alarm management systems to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety. This paper explores how alarm rationalization, when implemented effectively, mitigates alarm fatigue, reduces unnecessary alerts, and ensures that operators are only notified of critical issues. By analyzing cost-saving measures and efficiency gains, the study highlights how rationalization techniques can streamline decision-making and improve system reliability across various industries, such as oil and gas, manufacturing, and chemical processing. The rationalization process involves reviewing existing alarm systems, identifying redundant or non-critical alarms, and reclassifying alarms based on priority and operational impact. By refining alarm settings, engineers can decrease operator workload and minimize downtime, contributing to significant cost savings. For example, reducing nuisance alarms not only improves response times but also extends the lifespan of equipment by preventing unnecessary shutdowns. From a global perspective, the adoption of alarm rationalization varies by industry and region, with some sectors benefiting from advanced automation technologies and standardized regulatory guidelines. The implementation of intelligent alarm systems, combined with data analytics and machine learning, further enhances the ability to predict and prevent failures before they escalate into major operational disruptions. This paper also examines case studies of successful alarm rationalization projects, demonstrating tangible efficiency gains such as reduced maintenance costs, improved safety, and optimized production processes. Additionally, the discussion extends to the challenges and best practices in alarm rationalization, such as securing stakeholder buy-in, aligning rationalization efforts with organizational goals, and ensuring compliance with international safety standards. In conclusion, alarm rationalization offers engineering projects an effective pathway to achieve cost efficiency and operational excellence. However, the success of these initiatives depends on robust planning, continuous monitoring, and the integration of advanced technologies.

Energizing Emergency Exit Signs with Wireless Energy Transfer

Emergency exit lights in public buildings are necessary for safety and evacuation. International safety standards require such lighting in many public places, like airports, schools, malls, hospitals, and other spaces, to prevent human casualties in emergencies. Emergency exit lights have become an essential part of casualty reduction projects. They can pose several application problems, including fire safety concerns. The issue of providing a safe way and operating emergency exit lights along one side of a long path arises during an emergency. Many studies in this field consider the case in which emergency exit lights’ battery or main power fails. Power failures in dangerous situations such as fires or terrorist attacks make it difficult for people to escape. The lighting in open areas and stairwells during an emergency should be at least 2 lux. This work proposes an innovative technique for wirelessly powering emergency lights using microwave energy. Specifically, the study designed and fabricated a new wirelessly powered emergency lighting prototype. This prototype’s wireless power transfer (WPT) base comprises an RF/DC converter circuit and an RF microwave transmitter station. The device can harvest RF microwave energy to energize the emergency light. This research aimed to develop a compact device that captures maximum RF strength to power emergency lights. As a prototype, the proposed device was designed to provide sufficient microwave energy to power an emergency light at 3 W over a 62 m distance.

Car side impact design optimization problem using giant trevally optimizer

One of the evaluation criteria used to determine the effectiveness of newly developed algorithms is their application to solving real-world mechanical problems. Car side impact design optimization problem (CSDP) is one of the most complex problems in the industry field. According to international safety standards, a car is exposed to a side-impact. Here, the aim is to minimize the weight using eleven mixed design variables while maintaining safety performance according to the standards. In this paper, the recently developed Giant Trevally Optimizer (GTO) is used to be implemented on the aforementioned complex optimization problem. GTO mimics the hunting strategies of marine predator giant trevally while hunting birds. The effectiveness of GTO is tested by comparison with ten well-known optimizers by solving the car side impact problem. The results show that GTO generally outperforms the tested competitors and demonstrate the practicability of the GTO optimizer in solving challenging real-world problems. Moreover, new cost function has been found by GTO for CSDP.

Confirming the absence of parental African swine fever virus as a potential contaminant of recombinant live attenuated ASF vaccines

African swine fever (ASF) is a devastating disease that is currently producing a panzootic significantly impacting the swine industry worldwide. One of the major challenges for advancing the development of ASF vaccines has been the absence of international standards for ASF vaccine purity, potency, safety, and efficacy. To date, the most effective experimental vaccines have been live attenuated strains of viruses. Most of these promising vaccine candidates have been developed by deleting virus genes involved in the process of viral pathogenesis and disease production. This approach requires genomic modification of a parental virus field strain through a process of homologous recombination followed by purification of the recombinant attenuated virus. In this scenario, it is critical to confirm the absence of any parental virulent virus in the final virus stock used for vaccine production. We present here a protocol to establish the purity of virus stock using the live attenuated vaccine candidates ASFV-G-ΔMGF, ASFV-G-Δ9 GLΔUK and ASFV-G-ΔI177L. Procedures described here includes inoculation in susceptible pigs followed by the assessment of the obtained material by differential qPCRs that allows the identification of vaccine virus from ASFV field isolates. This protocol is proposed as a model to ensure that master seed virus stock used for vaccine production does not contain residual parental virulent virus.Procedures described here includes a passage in susceptible pigs followed by the assessment of the obtained material by differential qPCRs that allows the identification of vaccine virus from ASFV field isolates.

Upper GI bleeding in rural Australia: general surgery still alive and well!

The complex and critically unwell upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) patient is a common emergency presentation in Australia. Managed medically and endoscopically by rural general surgeons in rural and remote Australian hospitals which lack a gastroenterology service, this can be ameliorated by clear evidence-based guidelines. A single-centre retrospective review of adult patients who underwent emergency gastroscopy for UGIB at the Mackay Base Hospital, January 2019 to January 2022. Detailed patient data from the assessment, resuscitation, time to endoscopy, endoscopic intervention, and outcomes were compared against key international gastroenterology society safety and quality standards for UGIB. Two hundred patients had a comprehensive initial assessment and resuscitation with PRBC (39%), anticoagulation reversal (18%), pantoprazole infusion (81%), tranexamic acid (10.50%) and octreotide (16.50%). Risk scores were calculated retrospectively as none were documented. Time-to-endoscopy targets were achieved in over 70% of variceal or non-variceal UGIB patients. Bleeding was found in 59.50% of patients but 63% of patients did not require a manoeuvre to stop the bleeding. Post-operative complications were scarce. This study reflects on the need for a local multidisciplinary protocol to help expedite the current high-quality healthcare delivered by rural general surgeons in managing patients with UGIB. Implementing risk assessment scores would shorten the time to endoscopy in the initial assessment Guidelines would optimize resuscitation ensuring appropriate replacement, medication administration, anticoagulation reversal, and preventing unnecessary therapy. Despite these nuisances, the time to endoscopy, endoscopic intervention, and patient outcomes were largely in line with international quality assurance and safety targets.

Discovering the spatial locations of the radio frequency radiations effects around mobile towers

<span lang="EN-US">Nowadays, smart devices have become a major part of human life, and this need has led to an increase in the demand for these devices, prompting major telecommunications companies to compete with each other to acquire the bulk of this market. This competition led to a significant increase in the number of mobile towers, to expand the coverage area. Each communication tower has transmitters and receivers to connect subscribers within the mobile network and other networks. The receivers and transmitters of each mobile tower operate on radio frequency waves. These waves can cause harm to humans if the body tissues absorb the radiation resulting from these waves. Headache, discomfort, and some other diseases are among the effects resulting from the spatial proximity to the mobile towers. In this paper, a model based on geographic information systems (GIS) software is proposed for the purpose of discovering the area of exposure to radio frequency radiation. This model can assists mitigate the opportunities of exposure to these radiations, thus reducing its danger. Real data of the levels of electromagnetic pollution resulting from mobile towers were analyzed during this study and compared with international safety standards.</span>
