Результаты испытания сортов озимого тритикале за 2019–2021 годы в условиях северо-восточной части Беларуси

The total sown area of winter triticale in 2020 in Belarus amounted to 456 thousand hectares. New varieties carry new qualities that need to be studied and compared in specific soil and climatic conditions, to evaluate them in order to make a decision on the possibility of their zoning or culling. The evaluation of varieties was carried out at the SAI "Goretskaya Variety Testing Station" of the Mogilev Region of the Republic of Belarus. The studies were carried out according to generally accepted methods of laying and conducting experiments. Agricultural technology of winter triticale recommended by modern technological regulations for the north-eastern part of Belarus. In total, in 2018–2020, 16 varieties of winter triticale were in variety testing. Average for 2019–2021 Compared to the control variety Dynamo, the variety IZS-3 showed itself better in terms of grain yield (+7.2 c/ha). On average, over the two years above, the yield was higher in the varieties Tadeus (+5.2 c/ha), IZS-5 (+7.0 c/ha), Tribonus (+6.0 c/ha) and Tikhon (+17.2 q/ha). According to the results of one year of testing, the yield of the control variety was higher in varieties IZS-6, IZS-7, Belkanto, Riparo and Rivolt. On the basis of competitive variety testing and assessment of ecological adaptability, it is possible to recommend the IZS-3 variety (Belarus) for inclusion in the State Register of varieties of the Republic of Belarus for cultivation in the conditions of the north-eastern part of Belarus. The varieties Tadeus (Germany), IZS-5 (Belarus), Tikhon (Russia) and Tribonus (Austria) should be recognized as promising. For further variety testing, varieties IZS-6 and IZS-7 (Belarus), Belcanto (Poland), Riparo (France) and Rivolt (France) should be recommended.

Connectivity of change in yield of grain and leguminous crops and level of application of fertilisers by district of the Republic of Belarus

The article discusses territorial and structural changes in the productivity of grain and leguminous crops in the districts of the Republic of Belarus, as well as differences in the doses of mineral fertilisers for certain types from 2014 to 2018. The aim of the study is to determine the degree of influence of fertilisers on the dynamics of productivity for the studied period and to analyse the reasons for changes in the level of yields of grain and leguminous crops in the regions of the country. The work is based on statistical research methods – correlation and regression analysis of the relationship between mineral fertilisers and productivity were carried out. Correlation analysis showed a significant inverse linear dependence of the yield dynamics on the fertility score (correlation coefficient – 0.66), proving that more fertile soils lose in harvests of grain and leguminous crops are almost 2 times in comparison with less suitable land. Regression analysis confirmed the significant effect of mineral fertilisers (determination coefficient 56 %) on the final harvests of grain and leguminous crops. The novelty of the research lies in the mathematical formalisation of the stochastic dependence of the yield of grain and leguminous crops on the level of application of certain types of mineral fertilisers and the establishment of its linear character. With the help of GIS technologies, territorial differences in the effectiveness of the use of fertilisers for grain and leguminous crops in the administrative regions of the Republic of Belarus were established and three clusters of productivity in the country were identified – highly productive south-west (Grodno Region, Brest Region and adjacent districts of Minsk Region), productive south-east (Gomel Region and Mogilev Region with border areas of neighbouring regions) and low-productive north (Vitebsk Region with northern regions of Minsk Region and Grodno Region).

Manufacturing complex of the Abidnya settlement of the late Roman time: first results of the interdisciplinary research

The Abidnya settlement of the Kievskaya archaeological culture, located in the Mogilev Region of Belarus, was earlier considered as a manufacturing centre for the Eastern European enamelled objects. An interdisciplinary research of the evidence for the production metal objects has been carried out in the course of our project. It has included the morphological analysis of the crucibles; the study of the chemical composition of their surface and content with the portable X-ray fluorescence analysis and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy; the surface distribution of the finds, which could be related to the industrial complex – crucibles, smelting landles, casting moulds, beads of red opaque glass – possible raw materials for enamelling, production wastes etc. According to the results of our study, the evidence for the enamelling cannot be attested on the site. All the studied finds are related to the melting (remelting) and casting of the copper-based alloys, containing zinc, tin, lead. Brass, bronze and multicomponent copper alloys could have been among them.

Comparative assessment of yield and environmental stability of common dill samples

Relevance. The creation of varieties and hybrids with environmental sustainability is a priority in crop breeding. Many issues related to biology and ecology of a number of spice plants remain understudied. The study of the biological and ecological characteristics of common dill in order to create straight varieties with high yields in the phase of industrial ripeness in our conditions has not been carried out. The aim of the research was to evaluate the parameters of adaptive capacity and ecological stability in collection samples of common dill in terms of yield.Materials and methods. The research was carried out in the experimental field of the Department of Fruit and Vegetable Growing of the Belarusian State Agricultural Academy, Gorki, Mogilev region over a period of 2012–2014 and 2019–2021. The objects were breeding samples of common dill. Field and laboratory experiments were carried out using generally accepted methods and guidelines. The meteorological conditions during the years of the research differed both in terms of temperature indicators and the amount of precipitation, which contributed to an objective assessment of the varieties under study according to a complex of economically useful traits.Results. The article presents the results of the study of common dill breeding samples obtained in different years of research. In the first set (2012-2014) there were 40 sample plants, in the second set (2019-2020) – 26 pieces. In the course of assessing the parameters of adaptive capacity and ecological stability, the diversity among the samples of common dill was revealed according to the main parameters. The difference in terms of yield between sets of genotypes and test conditions over the years indicates the relationship between the genotype and the environment. Based on the results of studying the common dill collection, the parent material for breeding for a consistently high yield was selected. The regularity of maintaining the stability of the trait "yield" with a repeated set of genotypes in different years of research has been established.

Spatial features of the risk of oncological diseases in the territory of the Gomel and Mogilev regions of Belarus

The article presents the results of the cartographic analysis of the Belarusian Cancer Registry data, including the spatial features of morbidity due to cancer in different sex and age groups of the rural population. The maps, characterizing the features of the spatial heterogeneity of the oncological diseases (OD) in the Gomel and Mogilev regions of Belarus, were built for the first time. The performed mapping revealed the anomalous zones, representing the groups of compactly located rural settlements, for which the OD level (including OD of different localizations observed in both men and women) differs by a factor of 4 or more. The assessed differences in the OD risk are statistically significant. On this basis, we infer that the anomalous zones in the territory of Belarus, in any case, demonstrate both a high spatial contrast of OD manifestation and regular spatial organization. These confirm the hypothesis about a relationship between the OD risk and the environmental parameters and, in turn, allow a reasonable conclusion about the endemic nature of cancer as a provoked “human disease”. We consider that the detected zones of positive and negative anomalies must have significant ecological and geochemical differences. Therefore, they should be recognized as the objects of priority control since the population living in the high-risk areas undoubtedly needs priority screening and applying the corresponding preventive measures.

ТЕНДЕНЦИИ РАЗВИТИЯ ОРГАНИЗАЦИЙ ПРОМЫШЛЕННОСТИ МОГИЛЕВСКОГО РЕГИОНА

The development of enterprises (organizations) was given great attention both by classics of economic science and by modern researchers. Currently, the quantitative and qualitative components of development are distinguished, as well as various aspects of development (technical, innovative, flexible, sustainable, innovative). In order to manage the development of industrial organizations, various methods of analysis and evaluation of their activities are used, starting with a basic economic analysis that reveals key trends, advantages and challenges in development. The purpose of the research is to study and evaluate quantitative and qualitative indicators and trends in the development of industrial organizations in the Mogilev region on the basis of economic and statistical analysis. In the course of the research, the main economic indicators of the activity of the organizations of the manufacturing industry of the Mogilev region for 2016–2020 by types of economic activity were studied. As a result, the state and trends of the region’s manufacturing industry as a whole, as well as certain types of economic activities of the manufacturing industry, were assessed. A general conclusion was made on the features, shortcomings and direction of the development of the manufacturing industry of the Mogilev region, namely: the predominance of low-technological industries, the heterogeneous structure of manufacturing by type of economic activity, acceptable quantitative indicators of development, but the low level of intensity and efficiency of management, which threatens the vector of further development of the region.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ ЭПИДЕМИОЛОГИИ ЛЕПТОСПИРОЗА

The authors present the clinical and epidemiological features of leptospirosis among residents in Belarus. The main reservoirs of infection are described. We have demonstrated a clinical case of severe leptospirosis. To solve the set tasks in this research, we used methods of epidemiological diagnostics and statistical research methods. According to the results obtained, the incidence of leptospirosis in Belarus for the studied interval (2007—2020) was unevenly distributed over the years. The maximum and minimum indicators differed six times. The average long-term incidence rate was 0.25 cases per 100 000 population (95 % CI 0.2—0.3). The analyzed period was characterized by a stable long-term epidemic trend towards a decrease in morbidity. Severe clinical signs of leptospirosis have been associated with L. incterohaemorragiae in a male patient. The highest average annual incidence rates of leptospirosis were noted in the Mogilev and Gomel regions (0.85 %00 and 0.49 %00), and the lowest rates were recorded in the Brest region (0.03 %00).

ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ ВОЗМОЖНОСТЕЙ УГЛУБЛЕНИЯ ТОРГОВО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО СОТРУДНИЧЕСТВА РЕГИОНОВ РОССИИ И БЕЛАРУСИ

One of the main directions of economic development within the framework of the Union State is the expansion of cooperation between Russia and Belarus in the trade and economic sphere at the regional level. The article provides a statistical analysis of the macroeconomic parameters of the trade and economic potential of the Mogilev region, which made it possible to assess the contribution of the Mogilev region to the macroeconomic indicators for the foreign trade activity of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation; to identify the proportions of the share of exports / imports in gross domestic product and gross regional product; to present trends in exports, imports, and the foreign trade balance in the whole region, including within the framework of the region’s cooperation with the Russian Federation. The analytical block of the geography of the foreign trade turnover of the Mogilev region with an emphasis on trade and economic turnover with the regions of the Russian Federation is relevant. There was a decrease in the share of export operations in the system of the trade and economic cooperation of the Union State countries and a corresponding increase in the share of imports, which requires studying the commodity structure of foreign trade turnover with entry into the position of import substitution within the framework of the strategy for sustainable development of the Mogilev region. An assessment of the risk and need for diversification was carried out in the study based on the results of statistical analysis of the concentration level of exports and imports of the Mogilev region by country for 2016–2019. The characteristics of the contribution of small, medium and microorganisms in the foreign economic turnover of the Mogilev region are briefly presented. The article analyzes the structural dynamics of exports / imports of the Mogilev region in the context of enlarged groups of goods, as well as the commodity nomenclature of foreign economic activity. The exporting enterprises with the largest export capacity of the region are identified. Following the results of the study, the authors generalize main proportions and trends of trade and economic cooperation, and worked out promising directions for the development of the trade and economic potential of the Mogilev region with an emphasis on the border areas of Russia and Belarus

TRENDS AND PRIORITIES IN WATER USE IN THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS

Based on the water management statistics of the state water cadaster, the results of a study of the water use for the period 2000–2019 are presented. Research level covered the country as a whole, regions and administrative districts. The study is based on statistical methods for analyzing time-series and relative indicators of the dynamics of water use. The tendencies and priorities in water use in the administrative-territorial units of the Republic of Belarus are revealed on the basis of a comparative analysis presented in relative terms of indicators: total water abstraction, volume of groundwater extraction and withdrawal of surface water, the amount of water for water use purposes. For the period 2000–2019 downward trends in total water abstraction and water use have been established. The reduction in water abstraction was 28 %, and the use of water for domestic and drinking and industrial purposes decreased by more than 30 %. The largest decrease in water abstraction (from 30 to 40 %) occurred in the Gomel, Mogilev and Vitebsk regions. In the structure of water use among the regions, with the exception of the Brest region, domestic and drinking purposes prevail, which account for up to 33–54 % of water from the total volume of use. A comparative assessment at the level of administrative districts revealed that in most of them (in 102 out of 118 districts), groundwater is the main natural source of water supply. Groundwater abstraction exceeds surface water abstraction. In 36 districts, water supply is provided entirely from groundwater. The administrative districts were grouped according to the priority purposes of water use. It has been established that in 78 districts the priority is simultaneously two purposes of water use, as a rule, domestic and drinking and agricultural purposes, provided by groundwater. Differentiation of water intake volumes and water use priorities at the district level is determined by the population, the degree of development of the production industries, and their purposes of water. A unified record of displaying water use indicators at the level of administrative districts is proposed.

Trials of Members of Einsatzkommando 8 in West Germany: Gaswagen and the Holocaust in Mogilev

In 1942, in order to execute the genocide of Jews in Belarus, along with carrying out mass executions, the Nazis began to use gaswagens. In June 1942, a «special vehicle» appeared at the disposal of Einsatzkommando 8 in Mogilev. Based on the trials’ recordings and protocols, it can be assumed that at least 2,500 Jews of the Mogilev region were poisoned in gas vans (gaswagens). Details of the crimes committed by the Nazis with the use of gas vans became known in the 1960s, when lawsuits were held in the Federative Republic of Germany against former members of Einsatzkommando 8: A. Garnishmacher, G. Richter, G. Haase, G. Schlechte, K. Strohammer. The paper sets the goal, using the example of trials against the members of Einsatzkommando 8, to determine what legal assessment West Germany justice gave to the Nazi atrocities associated with the extermination of Jews in gaswagens. On the one hand, the trials against former members of Einsatzkommando 8 testified to the desire of German justice to critically rethink Germany’s recent past, to ensure the principle of inevitability of criminal responsibility for Nazi criminals. On the other hand, the outcomes of the trials under consideration indicated that West German Themis, as well as the overwhelming majority of the citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany, refused to treat the former members of Einsatzkommando as criminals. In German society, the prevailing opinion was that the blame for the Holocaust and other crimes of National Socialism lay exclusively with A. Hitler and his entourage (G. Himmler, R. Heydrich, etc.). The rest of the Germans were only «hostages of the regime» who «due to special life circumstances» were forced to perform the criminal orders of the Fuehrer. In juridical practice, that approach took shape in the theory of complicity, based on which the German courts assigned minimal punishments to Nazi criminals, and often the courts completely exempted them from criminal liability.

The effect of fumaric acid, dipromonium and vitamin C on the productivity of sows

The article presents the results of the effect of fumaric acid, dipromonium and vitamin C on productivity, physiological state and natural resistance of sows. The scientific and economic experience was carried out at the pig-breeding complex with a production capacity of 27 thousand heads “Voskhod” in the Mogilev region of Belarus. Forty primiparous gilts were divided into four groups (n = 10): a control and three experimental groups. Experimental gilts received basal diet supplemented with fumaric acid (4.0 g/kg of dry matter), dipromonium (0.4 g/kg) or vitamin C (0.1 g/kg) from 1 to 20 d of lactation. The animals of the control group did not receive the indicated preparation. The use of additives contributed to an increase in the milk yield of pigs, the viability of piglets and their growth rate by 21.1-30.0% (P<0.05), 6.0-6.6 and 10.0-27.9%, respectively, as well as influenced the morphological, biochemical and immunological parameters of the blood of pigs and their progeny.

FREQUENCY OCCURRENCE OF PHYTOPLASMA IN APPLE PLANTATIONS IN BELARUS

Apple-tree proliferation is a plant disease caused by phytoplasma Candidatus Phytoplasma mali which belongs to the&#x0D; Аpple proliferation (AP) group, subgroup 16SrX-A. The damage of plants by phytoplasm leads to changes in the nature&#x0D; of branching of shoots, crushing of fruits and often to the death of plants, causing damage to agricultural production.&#x0D; In order to assess the frequency occurrence of phytoplasm in apple-tree plantations in Belarus, a survey was carried out&#x0D; of the examination of orchards of Minsk, Brest, Gomel and Mogilev regions. There were selected (from symptomatic or&#x0D; damaged trees) and tested 453 samples (60 genotypes). Based on the results of examination and testing by real-time PCR with&#x0D; Phyto-F/Phyto-R primers and Phyto-P probe, the presence of phytoplasm in apple-tree plantations in Gomel (61 infected&#x0D; samples out of 177 tested), Minsk (18 out of 112) and Mogilev regions was revealed (48 out of 67) and the absence of&#x0D; a pathogen in the plantations of the Brest region.

ЛЕПТОСПИРОЗ: ЗАБОЛЕВАЕМОСТЬ И РАСПРОСТРАНЕНИЕ СРЕДИ НАСЕЛЕНИЯ РЕСПУБЛИКИ БЕЛАРУСЬ ЗА ПЕРИОД С 1990 ПО 2019 ГОДЫ

world and poses a serious threat to human health. Also relevant is the problem of animal disease with lepto- spirosis, which causes significant economic damage to countries. In the Republic of Belarus, human diseases with leptospirosis have been registered since 1944, when there were 2 large outbreaks of the disease in the Minsk and Mogilev regions. Currently, the epidemic situation for leptospirosis is characterized as unstable, which is due to the presence in all regions of the Republic of Belarus of natural and economic foci, as well as the formation of new persistent foci of infection both in rural areas and in cities. During the study period 1990—2019, from 4 to 55 cases of the disease were annually registered in the country. The average incidence of leptospirosis during this period was 0.27 per 100 000 population. It was relatively high in the eastern and southeastern regions: in the Mogilev region — 0.85 per 100 000 population, in the Gomel region — 0.49. A low incidence of leptospirosis is typical for the western and northern regions: in the Brest region 0.03 cases per 100 000 population, in the Vitebsk region — 0.05, in the Grodno region — 0.09. In the central region (Minsk region) — 0.11, in Minsk — 0.25. Long-term dynamics of morbidity is characterized by a pronounced reliable upward trend.

Influence of biotin and folic acid on sow productivity, growth and livability of piglets

Recently, many countries have tightened requirements for the quality of compound feed and its individual components including vitamins. However, the vitamins of grain and protein feed may not be available for assimilation by animals that have been destroyed or lost activity during storage. The purpose of this work was to provide scientific and practical substantiation of use in diets of sows biotin and folic acid to enhance their reproductive ability and improve the physiological state ensure, through the use of brooders, the best micro-climate in the area is received from off spring to enhance growth and the survival of piglets. The experimental part of the work has been performed at the pig breeding complex APC “Ovsyanka”, MAUE “Ovsyanka named after I. I. Melnik” in the Goretsky district in the Mogilev region in the Republic of Belarus. For the first time in the Republic of Belarus under the industrial technology of animal husbandry the use of biotin and folic acid additives in the diets of sows has been scientifically justified. The optimal doses of biotin and folic acid additives in the compound feed have been developed to increase reproductive ability and improve the physiological state of sows. The possibility of using cylindrical brooders with a truncated cone in combination with various sources of local heating in the piglets’ recreation area has been experimentally established. The economic feasibility of using biotin and folic acid additives in the diets of sows and brooders in the recreation area of their off spring has been proved.

РАЙОНИРОВАНИЕ РОССИЙСКО-БЕЛОРУССКОГО ПОГРАНИЧЬЯ С ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕММЕТОДА ДЕМОГРАФИЧЕСКОГО ПОТЕНЦИАЛА

This article is dedicated to the question of demographic potential surface zoning. The area of study is inter capital space between Moscow and Minsk. Three surfaces were analysed for three census years – 1897, 1989 and 2010. A method for zoning of demographic potential surface has been developed. It is based on the decomposition of the surface into separate terms. Terms are the induced potentials of settlements. It is possible to identify groups of points with a similar structure of induced potentials with the help of hierarchical cluster analysis. Such clusters will be the regions of demographic potential surface. Five types of regions were defined – spheres of dominance, zones of influence, areas of gravity, residual regions and hinterlands. There are about 20 regions on the surface of demographic potential of the inter capital region of Russia and Belarus. Its territorial structure consists of 3 large parts. The hinterlands of Moscow and Minsk are areas of the potential surface, where these cities have the largest share in the structure of the induced potential of clusters. “Real” inter capital space are areas of the potential surface, where the largest share in the structure of the induced potential of clusters belongs to any other cities, except capitals. The main processes of the evolution of demographic potential are following: expansion of the hinterlands of Moscow and Minsk, complication of the Minsk’s hinterland structure, disappearance of Roslavl’s hinterland, growth of the Gomel’s hinterland, reduction of the Bobruisk’s hinterland, formation of the residual area centered in the Polotsk agglomeration, disappearance of the residual area in the Mogilev and Bryansk regions.

Прогноз возможности возврата в сельскохозяйственный оборот земель Могилёвской области Республики Беларусь, выведенных в связи с высоким радиоактивным загрязнением

The nuclear accident at the Chernobyl NPP caused radioactive contamination of large areas of agricultural lands in the Republic of Belarus; 265 thousand hectares of the lands were withdrawn from agricultural turnover. Later 75% of these lands were transferred to forestry enterprises and environmental protection organizations. According to ecological and economic assessments of the feasibility of returning the retiring land in the Mogilev region to full economic activity based on the outcomes of comprehensive inventory of 2014-2016 only 23% of the land areas could be re-stored. At the same time, due to the irreversible radioactive decay it is possible to assess future positive changes in radiological situation and the possibility of recovering of the land, previously recognized as radioactively dangerous, and returning into the agricultural use. The issues con-sidered in the article aim at the assessment of the future changes in the levels of radiation con-tamination of local areas and shows the prospects for their further arable and meadow use.

Calicium adspersum, Cetrelia cetrarioides, C. olivetorum, Chaenotheca chlorella, Peltigera horizontalis, Hypotrachyna revoluta, Lobaria pulmonaria, and Menegazzia terebrata are included in the Red Data Book of Belarus.

«Baroque» Subgroup of Winter-Time Songs of Typological Macrofamily ‹V55, P4› with «Plot Refrains»

The article is the first attempt at a systematic description of an independent melotypological group of winter songs of Ukrainians, differentiated from the array of compositions of the typological macrofamily (TMF) ‹V55, p4› (with the main verse 5+5 and different types of refrains), namely, the baroque compositions with plot widespread in the Left-bank Ukraine. Their system code in the indexed Register of winter meloforms by I. Klymenko is Zm10-4 (Зм10-4 in Ukrainian).Based on the results of the analysis of about 100 selected samples (out of 200 known records of this group), the criteria were determined, by which this typological group (TG) differs from other works of TMS ‹V55, p4› - these are large (3-5 syllable-groups) semantically related to the plot of a certain piece (while typical for winter songs are short formula refrains - Koliada, Shchedryi vechir, Oi, dai Bozhe and others), melo-stylistics with features of the later styles (a system of parallel keys(tonalities), manifestation of harmonic functions tonic - dominant), the mixed type of stanza melo-organization, polyphonic texture with elements of chant voice-leading.The parameters, by which the Zm10-4 array is divided into two subgroups, have been established. In the subgroup Zm10-4A, melodic phrasing is autonomous for the content line (verse 5 + 5) and for the refrain part: ‹αβ; γδ ...›. In the Zm10-4B subgroup, the melodic wave is three-element: it covers two syllable-groups of the song inception and the first syllable-group of the refrain: ‹αβγ;…›. This type of melo-organization is a specific, form-building feature of another group of Ukrainian-Belarusian-Polish carols - ТМF ‹V55,р32›. A usage of a melo-model of another typological group in the Zm10-4B melodies enables us to call this subgroup a mixed one.Melodic varieties of a lower level within these two named subgroups are determined on the basis of such individual characteristics: ambitus, the system of fundamental tones, the system of repetitions of melodic phrases, the refrain-primitive, the specifics of the cadence group. A working version of an indexing and an analytical description of nine varieties of melo-forms are proposed.Compositions of the analyzed type have taken strong positions in the northeast of the TMS macro-area ‹V55,р4›. The core of the area was located between the Desna and Vorskla (in the present Chernihiv, Kyiv, Poltava, Sumy regions) - and the territorial attachment of the variety A to the Chernihiv area is particularly evident, and variety B to the notional Poltava area. Some samples come from the nearby districts of the Briansk, Gomel and Mogilev regions (Belarusian ethnic territory). Single records represent the Right Bank - points in Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Rivne and Mykolaiiv regions. The data are reflected on the map of a distribution of the Zm10-4 samples.
