Sea Ice and Substratum Shape Extensive Kelp Forests in the Canadian Arctic

The coastal zone of the Canadian Arctic represents 10% of the world’s coastline and is one of the most rapidly changing marine regions on the planet. To predict the consequences of these environmental changes, a better understanding of how environmental gradients shape coastal habitat structure in this area is required. We quantified the abundance and diversity of canopy forming seaweeds throughout the nearshore zone (5–15 m) of the Eastern Canadian Arctic using diving surveys and benthic collections at 55 sites distributed over 3,000 km of coastline. Kelp forests were found throughout, covering on average 40.4% (±29.9 SD) of the seafloor across all sites and depths, despite thick sea ice and scarce hard substrata in some areas. Total standing macroalgal biomass ranged from 0 to 32 kg m–2 wet weight and averaged 3.7 kg m–2 (±0.6 SD) across all sites and depths. Kelps were less abundant at depths of 5 m compared to 10 or 15 m and distinct regional assemblages were related to sea ice cover, substratum type, and nutrient availability. The most common community configuration was a mixed assemblage of four species: Agarum clathratum (14.9% benthic cover ± 12.0 SD), Saccharina latissima (13% ± 14.7 SD), Alaria esculenta (5.4% ± 1.2 SD), and Laminaria solidungula (3.7% ± 4.9 SD). A. clathratum dominated northernmost regions and S. latissima and L. solidungula occurred at high abundance in regions with more open water days. In southeastern areas along the coast of northern Labrador, the coastal zone was mainly sea urchin barrens, with little vegetation. We found positive relationships between open water days (days without sea ice) and kelp biomass and seaweed diversity, suggesting kelp biomass could increase, and the species composition of kelp forests could shift, as sea ice diminishes in some areas of the Eastern Canadian Arctic. Our findings demonstrate the high potential productivity of this extensive coastal zone and highlight the need to better understand the ecology of this system and the services it provides.

What Is the Role of the Environment (Exposome) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease?

OPENING Day 2 of the 17th Congress of European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO), James Lindsay, Professor of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Barts Health NHS Trust, London, UK, and The London School of Medicine, Queen Mary University of London, UK, discussed the influence of the environment on the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The presentation discussed the pathways that mediate environmental impact on IBD as well as the limitations of presently available research, giving a valuable insight into what future studies could be conducted to ultimately determine the role of environmental factors in IBD. The present understanding of IBD, an inflammatory disease, which includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is that the condition arises from an immune response to micro-organisms of the intestinal flora in genetically susceptible individuals. In addition to disease pathogenesis, other important aspects such as progression, extraintestinal manifestations, and immunogenicity to therapies, are yet to be well understood. While the genetics base is clear, it does not account for the discordance of disease in monozygotic twins, the increased incidence in second generation immigrants, or the rapid increase in IBD cases in the last 50 years. In light of these observations, Lindsay expressed the importance of examining the role of the environment, which, he stressed, does not comprise a single factor, but a multitude of factors that are likely to impact disease onset and natural history.

Comparison of the Evaluation of Combination of Ultrasonography of the Reproductive Tract With Hormone Administration on Dairy Cow Fertility.

Further optimization of reproduction management programs in dairy cows is a contemporary research topic. In this context, our study aimed to compare a hormone program, named “uterus-ovary monitoring and classified use of hormone program” (M+C), with the Pre-OvSynch program. The M+C was based on regular application of B-mode ultrasonography during a voluntary waiting period to monitor the uterus and ovaries, while using various treatments under different conditions. Results of the 30–33-day and 60-day pregnancy/artificial insemination after the first AI of M+C were significantly better than the Pre-OvSynch (p < 0.05). The pregnancy rates within 180 days in milk after M+C was significantly higher than that after Pre-OvSynch (p < 0.05). The total number of inseminations used for M+C was significantly lower than that for Pre-OvSynch (p < 0.01). The number of open days was fewer after M+C than after the Pre–OvSynch throughout the experimental period with highly significant differences (p < 0.01). In summary, the use of M+C enhances reproductive benefits and reduces the need for hormone drugs among cows.

Effect of spacing and micronutrients on yield of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) grown under protected structures

Proper plant spacing and foliar application of micronutrients is necessary for higher yield and quality. Theexperiment was conducted to determine the effect of spacing and micronutrients on fruit yield of bitter gourdgrown under protected structures (nethouse and polyhouse). The variety Pusa Rasdar (27.06 days) showed superiorperformance over Selection 32 (30.03 days) for opening of first female flower under net house. The wider spacing(30 cm × 50 cm) enhanced early female flower (28.29 days) compared to closer spacing (under nethouse). The PusaRasdar was superior for node number of first female flower (11.25 nodes) followed by Selection 32 (13.28 nodes)(under nethouse). The wider spacing (30 cm × 50 cm) had a significant effect on first node of female flower appearance(12.37 and 11.87 nodes) under polyhouse and net house. The maximum fruit weight was in Pusa Rasdar (206.89g) (under nethouse). The application of boron @0.2% and calcium @0.6% enhanced the number of fruits per plant(11.00 and 10.80) (under net house). The wider spacing (30 cm × 50 cm) also produced the highest number of fruitsper plant (11.37) in Pusa Rasdar (under net house) condition. The maximum fruit yield per plant was recorded in PusaRasdar (2122.70 g) compared to Selection 32 (1646.61 g) (under net house). The wider spacing (30 cm × 50 cm) alsoproduced maximum fruit yield (2137.25 g) in Pusa Rasdar (under net house). Therefore, higher yield of bitter gourdcould be obtained under net house with broader spacing (30 cm × 50 cm) along with proper doses of micronutrients(0.2% boron and 0.6% calcium).

Productivity of cows of Black-and-White breed in association with the technology of their housing

The research of the influence of the method of housing cows on productivity, reproductive ability and productive longevity is relevant. The purpose of the research was to determine the influence of technological factors on productivity, reproductive ability, and longevity of productive use of cows in the Tver region. The research has been carried out on the basis of the breeding farm of ZAO Kalininskoye in the Tver region. In order to conduct the experiment two groups of cows were formed, depending on the method of housing. Animals in the 1st group were free-stall housing; the 2nd group of cows were in tie up housing. The feeding conditions of the experimental animals were the same. The productivity of cows after the first lactation in the 2nd group (tie up housing) exceeded the productivity of cows in the 1st group (free-stall housing). The difference in milk yields was 345 kg (P ≤ 0,01) of milk for 305 days of the first lactation with a slight difference in the mass fraction of fat and protein. The shortest duration of the period of open days with the free-stall housing was established for both first-calf heifers (123 days) and cows of the second calving (101 days) than for herdmates with the tie up housing for 16 and 27 days. The multiplicity of insemination with tie up housing was higher depending on the age, the difference was 0,42 and 0,26 units in favor of the free-stall housing. The lifetime milk yield of cows with tie up housing was 6847 kg of milk or 29,9 % higher than free-stall housing, and their average milk yield with basic fat content (3,4 %) exceeded analogues by 853 kg of milk or 10,6 %, respectively. Calculations indicate that the prim-cost of 1 centner of milk from cows with tie up housing was lower by 165,6 rubles or 10,6 %, and the profit from its sale per 1 cow was higher than the free-stall housing by 24,6 thousand rubles. The evaluation of the conducted studies fully reflects the economic feasibility of further use of the tie up housing method of cows.

Teacher and peer interaction in lower age novice-newcomer’s L2 learning and socialisation

ABSTRACT This study adopts a sociocultural approach to examine the language socialisation of a lower age novice-newcomer recently arrived in a Finnish open day care centre. A mixed method approach combining ethnographic analysis and quantitative analysis has been used to analyse video-recordings. The results suggest that when educators recognise language novice-newcomer’s diverse needs and deploy thereby multimodal socialising strategies (i.e. verbal, gestural), the novice-newcomer’s language and interactive competences could ameliorate across time. Different from adults, the local children seem unconscious of the diverse needs of peers from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, which sets out challenges for educators in balancing recognition of diversity with equality.

About the Experience in Parental Control over Nutrition in Schools of the Murmansk Region

Introduction: Special attention is traditionally paid to monitoring nutrition in educational establishments as the forms and methods of work keep changing while the circle of participants expands. Parental control may serve as an important reserve for increasing the efficiency of control under the current conditions. Parental involvement in surveillance helps increase personal interest in principles of healthy eating and improve the overall hygienic literacy of inspectors and of those inspected. Objective: To analyze forms of implementing control over school meals. Materials and methods: Analytical and sociological methods were used to study the issues of providing hot meals for elementary school children, including satisfaction with the quality, quantity, and variety of meals and sufficiency of time to consume them within the survey conducted in the 2020/21 academic year in the city of Murmansk. The survey involved 21,755 schoolchildren, 17,977 parents, and 1,470 teachers. Together with parents, we rejected finished products, discussed the quality of school feeding, held Open Days and Degustation Days, summarizing the results of joint activities on a quarterly basis. Parental control measures were taken in accordance with MR 2.4.0180-20, Parental Control over Catering in General Education Institutions, approved by the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation Anna Yu. Popova on May 18, 2020. Results: Since 2014, by agreement with school administration, parents and/or legal representatives of schoolchildren have been participating in parental quality control of school meals. Those having a personal health book are allowed to sample from the “common cauldron” and to control organizational activities in the dining room, including the compliance with the requirements of sanitary legislation for school catering. The findings of the sociological survey demonstrated that in 2020, children, parents and teachers were more satisfied with school feeding than in 2019. Conclusion: The experience of cooperation with parents in controlling school nutrition has proven its effectiveness and timeliness in taking corrective action to regulate logistics issues.

A Study on Hot Topics in Social Media of Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games

During the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Sina Weibo, as a high-frequency platform, has a wide range of topics and a large number of participants, and is the main channel for Internet users to obtain information. "People's Daily" is the media with high influence on social hot events in the wave microblog, from the opening day of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games to the end of the closing ceremony, among all the Olympic Games-related topics released by People's Daily, there were 343 topics with more than 50,000 likes, and 343 topics were used as hot topics for research. Among the 343 hot topics, 64 were table tennis-related topics, and table tennis was the sport with the highest attention among the hot topics. The social network method was used to quantify the People's Daily hot topics, establish a 2-mode network, study social actors as well as social structure from the perspective of relationships, and explain the structure of the 2-mode network and the influence of the macro-level structure on actors.

Intrauterine proteolytic enzymes therapy hastens expulsion of fetal membranes in dystocia affected buffaloes.

Difficult calving (dystocia) in buffalo cows is a major obstetrical problem which further leads to metritis complex, encompassing the retention of fetal membranes (RFM), puerperal metritis, endometritis and pyometra with impaired future fertility. The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of the administration of intrauterine proteolytic enzymes on the expulsion of fetal membranes and postpartum fertility in dystociac buffaloes. Proteolytic enzymes consisting of Trypsin (16 mg), Chymotrypsin (16 mg), and Papain (8 mg) were dissolved in 500 ml normal saline were administered after 1 h of assisted delivery in dystociac buffaloes along with the conventional therapy. The treated animals (n=15) expelled fetal membranes within a shorter period of time (P=0.043) compared to the control group (n=15) with none in the treatment group retaining it for more than 24 hours. Fewer (26.67 vs 73.33%; P=0.027) postpartum uterine infections developed in the treated animals compared to the control group. The interval between first postpartum estrus (P=0.067), service period (P=0.554), and open days (P=0.557) was shorter in the treatment group compared to the control group where postpartum anestrus developed less frequently (26.67 vs 66.67%; P=0.066) in the animals treated with enzymatic therapy. Systemic illness (neutrophillia) was reduced in the treatment group compared to the control on day 20 (64.55 ± 1.14% vs 70.23 ± 0.99%; P=0.001) and 45 (55.05 ± 1.63% vs 64.92 ± 1.45%; P<0.001) postpartum. It is concluded that proteolytic enzymes therapy after assisted delivery in dystociac buffalo cows could help in the early expulsion of fetal membranes and reduce uterine infections with decreased neutrophils count.

Marketing and Advertising Technologiesas a Component of Promotion of Educational Services

The article has examined the variety of marketing and advertising technologies as key methods of promoting a higher education institution. In particular, a number of existing ways of finding direct contact with potential education applicants and stakeholders have been identified. Using marketing technologies in the process of promoting a higher education institution is an important component of the general concept of institution’s promotion. It concerns the use of well-known social networks, messengers and other communication channels that allow demonstrating the strengths of the institution to the target audience. It is worth considering that it is possible to achieve the planned result with the help of a well-defined sequence of professional advertising actions and communication technologies. It is important to note that this study is quite relevant, as it carries with it the meaning of marketing technologies implemented in higher education institutions. Such practice has been observed for a long time, but every year the technologies need to be updated and improved. The article focuses on them. The methods of communication with the audience are differentiated according to change of generation. Ten years ago, text information was best perceived by the audience, however, it has been replaced by the age of video content. In order to identify such trends, there is a need for constant content monitoring and implementation of trendy technologies into the work of any organization. It is also worth taking into account the requirements of specific individuals, which are formed due to the suitable and high-quality portrait of the target audiences. This approach makes it possible to get to know the representatives of the target audience perfectly and to present any product knowing its advantages in the minds of abstractly formulated persons. Taking into account the purpose of the research, which is aimed at investigating the existing methods of promotion of higher education institutions, it is worth noting the most effective marketing and advertising technologies in the work of filling the information campaign of the institution. One of them is holding Open Days. This is an event that allows conducting two-way communication and establishing contact with the audience directly, without the involvement of outsiders. Exactly this method of promotion of the institution is deeply discussed in this article. It is effective not only at the level of attracting applicants through the presentation of the institution’s strengths, but also in creating a certain image of the organisation. This makes it possible to formulate a certain image in the subconscious mind of the target audience, which will become a reference point for the further choice of a higher education institution in the future.

Праздник Эл Ойын как этнокультурный символ в конструировании имиджа Республики Алтай

The purpose of the study is to highlight the ethnocultural role of the El Oiyn holiday as a symbol that has semantic meanings that are important while constructing the image of the Altai Republic. The relevance of the topic is manifested in the fact that, thanks to the established tradition to celebrate the event together with another important event or an anniversary date, El Oiyn 2022 is dedicated to the Year of the Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of Russia and the 100th anniversary of the Oirot Autonomous Region creation. The source database of the study which includes field materials, documentation, information from the regional press, and the Internet, made it possible to conclude that “society and government materialize memory” through the creation of museum expositions, book and photo exhibitions, holidays and festivals dedicated to the date of the Oirot autonomy formation, renamed the Gorno-Altai Autonomous Region in 1948. It is revealed that the national holiday El Oiyn has acquired the features of a cultural event, has become a kind of statement in the cultural and sports spheres. Due to the tourist popularity of Altai, the El Oiyn holiday is becoming focused on the commercial needs of the leisure industry. The image of the Republic of Altai is manifested in the demonstration of the El Oiyn holiday as an ethnocultural symbol, but therefore the born folk meaning of the first holidays is lost. The experience of holding the El Oiyn holiday allows us to conclude that the Altai national holiday is held not only at the level of an official event but acts as a form of self-expression of the Altaians’ modern ethnic culture. The characteristic of the ritual practice to honor the natural environment of the Altai-deity, carried out by the elders in the morning on the opening day of the El Oiyn holiday, is also given. Presented a review of documents, namely regional laws, adopted in connection with the organizing problems, they consider the traditional symbolism of honoring the Altai nature while determining the place and date of the event, which has acquired national significance and acts as an interregional holiday attracting folklore groups and amateur athletes from neighboring regions. The El Oiyn holiday is not an exclusively Altai phenomenon, but one of the forms of transition from the culture of the past to a new ethnic culture.

Foucault's Work: A Reminiscence of Ancient Days

Foucault's Work:A Reminiscence of Ancient Days Timothy Hampton (bio) In May of 1982 I received a message from Paul Bouissac, a professor of French at the University of Toronto, to come to his office. I had just completed an MA in comparative literature and was preparing to move south, back to the United States. Toronto's comparative literature program was going through a transition. Several of my favorite professors were leaving. It was time for me to leave, too. Bouissac was a noted semiologist who had been a circus performer at one point in France, and had written a well-received study of the semiotics of the circus. He informed me that the university was hosting a Summer Semiotics Institute in June, at which a number of visitors would be coming to teach for a month. Would I be interested in working for Michel Foucault, as his research assistant, in return for free tuition? Foucault was at that point involved in his work on the techniques of self-construal in late antiquity and the early Christian period. He had just published The Care of the Self. With Jacques Derrida, he was one of the figure heads of a strangely named invention called "French Theory," a fantasy in the American imaginary that there was a club of French guys (and one gal, Julia Kristeva) who sat around in Paris and cooked up new concepts to animate the careers of ambitious American academics. Of the various French theoreticians, Foucault was the one I found most appealing, because of his interest in history. As an undergraduate, I had read and loved his book on madness. So, I signed on. The short-lived Semiotics Institute was a summa of academic stardom. In addition to Foucault, the philosopher John Searle was a headliner, along with Umberto Eco, whose novel The Name of the Rose had just come out in Italian. There were other experts: a scholar of Bakhtin, a hard-core linguistic semiotician, and, for a few weeks, the great medievalist Eugene Vance. Eco was still known mostly as a slightly eccentric essayist who sometimes wrote about modern art. He got third billing, after Foucault and Searle. I was summoned to meet Foucault on opening day, in an office in Victoria College. It was a brutally hot and humid Toronto day—a day on which no reasonable human would venture out in anything more than a [End Page 377] light shirt. Foucault appeared in a black leather biker's jacket, an advertisement, as I took it, of his sexuality, in the midst of the AIDS crisis, and a moment when black leather was still associated with a certain gay male identity. He was friendly and funny, and seemed genuinely interested in what I was reading and trying to do. As the institute shifted into full speed, Foucault offered lectures, to a large crowd, and a seminar, to a group of about fifteen students. The lectures were the main event. Foucault had a set of texts in English that he read from, about the practices of monasticism in late antiquity and the early Christian periods. He was especially interested in John Cassian, the fourth-century monk who had been instrumental in spreading the practices of monasticism to the Christian West. What were the techniques that Cassian proposed? What was the logic he used to justify and shape monastic practice? It soon became clear that my job was not the job of research assistant at all. I was to be a language consultant and a bodyguard. Each day Foucault would read his lecture text, and each day there would be questions. Many of them came from students in Toronto's venerable Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies. These were people who really took medieval Christianity seriously. They were perfect foils for Foucault, because they were skeptical of absolutely everything he said. They were not impressed by his fame, and they pushed back after each lecture. One student, in particular, was writing a thesis on Iamblichus, the third-century Neoplatonist who had been a biographer of Pythagoras. He challenged Foucault insistently on the details of monastic practice. Each time he opened his mouth Foucault would mutter, somewhat...

Research on Internet Public Opinion of Major Conferences Based on Big Data—Take the 2021 World Internet Conference Data as an Example

By using K-means clustering method and Porter’s five forces model, taking the 2021 World Internet Conference data as an example, and with the help of big data platforms such as Baidu Index and Sina Micro Index, this paper analyzes the evolving law of online public opinion in major conferences and the heat influencing factors. Research indicates: Internet public opinion begins to fluctuate a week before the opening of major conferences, reaches its peak for the first time on the opening day, and then public opinion will rebound, until the closing of the conference, public opinion begins to weaken; during the evolution of online public opinion, the government and official media are the leading forces in handling online public opinion. Facing online public opinion of major conferences, the government should first plan ahead and respond quickly, but should not interfere excessively; secondly, give full play to the guiding role of guests and experts; give full play to the government's "three micro ends" communication channel again. The big data platform provides data support for the government to scientifically respond to the network public opinion of major conferences.

Поведение абитуриентов при поступлении в московские вузы: анализ причин и разработка рекомендаций

When there is high competition between universities for applicants, research into the applicants’ motives becomes relevant. This research used a survey questionnaire, the results of which were subjected to correlation analysis. The survey involved students from four Moscow universities, differing in both rating and quality of admission. The main reasons why applicants choose their university were the availability of budget places and the cost of training. The source of information about the university is also important. Modern youth (and also their parents) focus mainly on Internet sites for applicants and on the university’s website social networks. The role of Internet resources will only increase in the future although traditional forms of attracting applicants, such as open days and Olympics should not be discounted. They attract at least a quarter of the admissions. The research revealed that school graduates who are strongly oriented toward higher education prepare for exams very seriously. More than two-thirds of all students surveyed noted several options for preparing for the exam. However, not all applications had a solid life position with regard to their future profession. Many have chosen those courses that are easier to pass. One of the important factors in making a choice and in preparation is the image of the university. The higher the rating of the university, the more motivated applicants it attracts and as a result, the level of training of graduates also increases. It is proposed that distance forms of participation in university events are developed so as to expand coverage.

Ultrasound scanning of ovarian activity in postpartum Iraqi buffaloes

Endometritis is one of the most common infections in buffaloes and occurs several weeks postpartum, causes severe economic losses, including increased open days and calving intervals. This study was aimed to demonstrate the ovarian activity in postpartum buffaloes two months after calving. Moreover, this study was aimed to demonstrate the incidence of endometritis during 21–24 days postpartum in buffaloes.&#x0D; A total of 72 multiparous buffaloes, 3-10 years and three weeks post-birth were involved in the current research. All the buffaloes were examined weekly from week 3 after birth by routine rectal palpation, ultrasound scanning, and vaginal discharge checking. A 4-value point (0 = bright mucus, 1 = discharge with little pus, 2 = discharge with less than 50% pus discharges, and 3 = with &gt; 50% pus discharges) was depended to classify vaginal discharges of these buffaloes. Cytobrush specimens were dependent to get endometrial samples from these animals. Ten from seventy-two buffaloes (13.8%) suffered from abnormal vaginal discharges grade (1-3) and pointed to acute clinical endometritis (CE), and about (16.6%) 12 of 72 clinically healthy buffaloes had subclinical endometritis (SCE) (≥ 8 % neutrophils). The diameter of the large follicle was significantly (p &lt; 0.05) greater in healthy buffaloes compared with the animals that suffered from clinical and subclinical endometritis in the postpartum period. The size of the corpus luteum was significantly (p &lt; 0.05) lower (7 mm) in clinical endometritis postpartum buffaloes than the healthy and subclinical endometritis buffaloes. In conclusion the ultrasound technique is a precise method to evaluate ovarian activity in postpartum buffaloes.

Pembentukkan Pusat Informasi dan Konseling Kesehatan Reproduksi Remaja (PIK-KRR) di SMPN 28 Kota Pekanbaru

Malnutrition in toddlers is still a health problem in Indonesia. Malnutrition generally occurs in children under age 5, because at this age, children experience rapid growth. It is estimated there are still around 1.7 million children under threat of malnutrition scattered throughout Indonesia. The purpose of this community service activity is to conduct training for cadres in maternal and child health service (posyandu) about the skills in giving MP-ASI counselling in Tanah Merah village, Siak Hulu Subdistrict, Kampar Regency in 2019. The method of this activity carried out disseminating information on community service activities in the village apparatus, providing material and the practice of counselling by cadres in maternal and child health service (Posyandu). The results of this community service activities were the socialization of community service activities to village officials, the Siak Hulu Health Center and Posyandu cadres in the village office hall, followed by the provision of material for four meetings. To assess the successful implementation of community service activities, a cadre practice was conducted on the Posyandu day. Based on the results of the pre and post-test evaluations, there was an increase in cadre knowledge about the MP-ASI material. It is recommended for Posyandu cadres to apply the results of the training by activating extension activities by cadres at table V every Posyandu opening day

Information system for carrying out vocational guidance work in schools of Ukraine

Problem. The problem for Ukrainian universities is the annual enrollment of students in the amount that allows the university to exist and fulfill its purpose. In the conditions of a significant decrease in the number of graduates in our country and an increase in the number of higher educational institutions, the competition among universities for entrants has sharply increased. Goal. It is necessary to create an information system to inform high school students throughout Ukraine about the existence of the Kharkiv National Automobile and Highway University, its specialties, opportunities, advantages, etc. Perhaps the consequence of such widespread information will be an increase in the number of applicants at our university. Methodology. When developing an information system for fast automatic sending of messages to many thousands of addresses of educational institutions of Ukraine of the III level of accreditation, it was impossible to rely on existing analogues, because such were not found in the information space. We used the method of synthesis of information systems on the technical task. Results. An information system has been developed for fast sending of messages to ten thousand addresses of educational institutions of the III level of accreditation. The developed information system searches for the corresponding addresses on the Internet and enters them into the computer database. The basis of the developed system is the database "Graduate of Ukraine", which contains the necessary information about almost all educational institutions with III level of accreditation. The algorithm of work of the developed information system and a kind of the interface of a software complex are resulted. In addition, many results of the system are presented: the created tables with data on educational institutions, the developed inquiries and reports, e-mails with invitations to the Open Doors Day. Originality. The developed system is an original development in Ukraine. No mention was found of an information system that creates and generates database tables and then uses them for programmed actions. Practical value. The developed information system is already used to provide students of graduation and other classes of all educational institutions of Ukraine of the III level of accreditation with information about our university; regarding the specialties offered by the university and the corresponding professions; regarding open days, preparatory courses and much more.

The use of digital technologies in the diagnosis of tumor diseases at the pre-medical stage

Aim. To improve the effectiveness of tumors and risk factors detection in reducing time costs at the pre-medical stage using a robotic complex.&#x0D; Methods. To achieve this goal, the previously created robotic complex with a program for self-questioning, taking into account gender, has been improved. A portable USB microscope was built into the complexs housing to transmit images of pathological changes of visible localizations to the touch screen. The survey and examinations were conducted by clinical residents and students of the case-control type in 1638 patients at the Novgorod Regional Clinical Oncological Dispensary (in 20192021) as part of the Doors Open Days. The average age of patients was 54.68.9 years, including 703 men and 935 women. Descriptive statistics methods of Statistica 6.0 software were used. Qualitative characteristics showed as absolute number and the relative value in percentage (%). The differences were considered statistically significant at p 0.05.&#x0D; Results. The use of the complex allowed us to suspect cancer risk factors in 9.031.3% patients, of which 31.081.8%, or 2.82.1% (p=0.017) of the total patients with the further examination was able to confirm oncology-related findings. Patients complained of discomfort in the stomach (59 people) underwent a breath test built into the program of the complex, according to the results of which helicobacteriosis was detected in 29 patients. In 17 patients with fibrogastroscopy, intestinal metaplasia was subsequently established, in 4 gastric ulcers, 3 of which had malignancy.&#x0D; Conclusion. The use of a robotic complex-2 saves the time of a doctor of a lean polyclinic and improves the effectiveness of identifying cancer risk factors and early-stage cancer.

Features of the formation of the bacterial community of the rumen and the biochemical status of the cows depending on the protein source

The results of scientific and economic experiment on the use of protein concentrate “AgroMatic” in feeding highly productive cows of Ayrshire breed during lactation have been provided in the article. The use of protein concentrate “Agro-Matic” in the rations of dairy cattle in the amount of 1,0 and 1,5 kg/head/day has been leaded to an increase in the content of cellulolytic microflora at the end of lactation compared with the control group. At the same time, the level of microorganisms that stimulate and promote immunity (bacilli, bifid bacterium) and suppress the development of pathogenic bacteria has been observed in high amounts throughout lactation in the experimental groups whose ration was put with protein concentrate. In the rumen content of cows have been receiving 1,5 kg/head/day of protein concentrate “Agro-Matic”, the increased content of bifid bacterium by 0,03 abs.% and bacilli by 0,91 abs.% has been noted. The inclusion of the maximum level of protein concentrate was characterized by the decrease in the number of pathogenic microorganisms like pathogens of mastitis and other diseases (lactobacilli, actinomycetes and enterobacteria). The total number of cellulolytic bacteria in the rumen content at the end of lactation when using 1,0 kg/head/day of protein concentrate in animals increased compared to animals that consumed the basic ration. The inclusion of protein concentrate throughout lactation contributed to the increase in the blood content of total protein and nitrogen of free amino acids. Thus, the use of protein concentrate during the feeding period increased the intensity of protein metabolism in animals. The inclusion of 1,5 kg of protein concentrate in the ration contributed to the increase in total protein in the blood by 4,6 g/l, at the level of 1,0 kg by 9,1 g/l (P &gt; 0,95). The index of insemination when using protein concentrate in lactating cows has been decreased by 21,7 % and the duration of the period of open days by 28,2 days.
