Геоинформационное обеспечение проведения мониторинга земель сельскохозяйственного назначения в системе управления земельными ресурсами (на примере Волгоградской области)

The lack of an up-to-date cartographic basis leads to uncontrolled land turnover, does not reflect their real state and use, thereby leading to the destruction and degradation of not only individual components of the agricultural landscape, but also entire natural systems. Agrolandscape is a complex ecological system that, under harsh conditions of consumption, loses its ability to self-repair and regulate for a very long time. And each of its components needs to be accounted for, monitored, and protected. Geoinformation monitoring ensures the sustainability of both individual components and the entire agricultural landscape, contributes to the formation of effective agriculture and land use, increases the productivity of land and prevents the development of degradation processes. Monitoring of the territory of the Kislovsky rural settlement of the Bykovsky district of the Volgograd region according to 2004 data does not reflect the actual state and order of use of agricultural land and forest resources. The boundaries and areas of dehumified land have changed, and within the boundaries of the forest fund, according to Roseyestr, there are land plots with cadastral numbers ZU 34:02:010001:185, ZU 34:02:010001:104, ZU 34:02:010001:100, with an area of 2.7 hectares each for agricultural production. The area of forest areas has decreased from 576 ha to 484 ha or 16 %, the humus content in the soils is low—1.7 %, which is critical in the agro-climatic conditions of the Volgograd region. The location of agricultural land plots within the boundaries of the forest fund lands contradicts the land legislation, violates the safety and integrity of forest stands, leads to degradation, desertification and destruction of the ecological framework.

ПРОБЛЕМИ РОЗВИТКУ БІРЖОВОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ В УКРАЇНІ

In an article, based on a thorough analysis of the theoretical material and practical evaluation of financial market experts, the author gives an overview of the current state of the Ukraine securities market, makes it a comparative analysis of the U.S. market, followed by the identification of the problems affecting the development of the industry. The goal of the article lies in generalisation of functions of modern exchanges, analysis of specific features of the organisational and legal status of commodity and stock exchanges in Ukraine, detection of problems in exchange trade development and development of a set of measures for their solution. The article considers an exchange as a poly-functional institute that performs specific functions: organisation of regular trade with financial and tangible assets in the prescribed place and in accordance with the established rules; development of rules of exchange trade and their observance by all participants of the trade; guarantee of execution of the concluded transactions; detection, fixation and monitoring of current prices on exchange commodities. Comparison of the organisational and legal statuses of commodity and stock exchanges in Ukraine showed that stock exchanges have higher entrance barriers (organisational and legal form, minimal size of the authorised capital, order of use of profit, specific registration procedures and licensing of activity). It was found in the result of the study that underdevelopment of the exchange segment of trade in Ukraine, on the one hand, is caused by availability of system problems in the national economic system and, on the other hand, is an inhibitory factor of economic development. Measures on improvement of the state regulation of the exchange trade includes putting in order the organisational and legal status of exchanges, overcoming the existing fragmentariness of trade areas, development of mechanisms of guarantee of execution of the concluded exchange transactions and stimulation of exchanges to introduce modern electronic trade systems. The prospect of further studies in this direction is development of approaches to assessment of effectiveness and efficiency of exchange trade in Ukraine.

Sterilization Technique of Granola Kembang Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) for in vitro Culture

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a plant that widely used, both fresh and processed. However, the productivity of this plant is still low because the quality of seeds is still limited and is not good enough. The cultivar of granola kembang is potential to be developed because of the short harvest life and high yield. In vitro propagation through tissue culture can be done to produce high-quality seeds. The success of tissue culture is strongly influenced by explant sterilization techniques. Bacterial, fungal, and browning contamination can interfere with the process of culture propagation. In this study, six sterilization techniques were applied to potato shoot explants to get the right sterilization techniques for in vitro culture of potato. Various combinations of sterilant and their order of use are also used. Growth of stem length and number of leaves was also investigated for four weeks after planting (WAP). The results showed that sterilization using Tween-20, benomyl 50%, and agrimycin outside LAF and NaOCl 15% (v/v), NaOCl 10% (v/v), and alcohol 70% inside LAF could produce the highest percentage of sterile explant, 70%, compare to other techniques. Nevertheless, the sterilization technique used in this study did not affect the acceleration of stem growth and the number of leaves.   Keywords: granola kembang, in vitro, potato, sterilization, tissue culture

Research on the influence mechanism of users’ quantified-self immersive experience: on the convergence of mobile intelligence and wearable computing

The rapid development of mobile intelligence and wearable computing promotes the rise of quantified-self. Users quantify themselves and realize self-tracking and self-cognition through the connection between mobile phone terminals and wearable computing devices. The characteristics of immersive quantified information design in the convergence mode of mobile intelligence and wearable computing attract many users to immerse into it. Based on the stimulus-body-response (S-O-R) model, this paper constructs an influence mechanism model that affects the immersive experience of quantified-self and adopts empirical research methods. This paper analyzes the influence of the information platform and content characteristics (interaction, ease of use, usefulness, entertainment) of the convergence of mobile intelligence and wearable computing on users’ immersive experience of quantified-self and the moderating effect of privacy concern and potential affordance on immersive experience and continuous participation. The results show that interaction, ease of use, usefulness, and entertainment all have a significant impact on users’ quantified-self immersive experience, and the influence is in the order of usefulness>ease of use>entertainment>interaction. Potential affordance and privacy concerns play a significant role in regulating the state of immersion and continuous participation. The conclusion of this study not only analyzes the influencing factors of users’ immersive experience of quantified-self from the characteristics of the convergence of mobile intelligence and wearable computing but also analyzes the relationship between users’ immersive experience of quantified-self and continuous participation from the perspective of potential affordance and privacy concerns. It provides opinions and suggestions for the interaction design and user information management of the convergence of mobile intelligence and wearable computing and has practical reference significance for related enterprises to improve user stickiness.

Finite Volume-Based Asymptotic Homogenization of Periodic Materials Under In-Plane Loading

AbstractThe previously developed finite volume-based asymptotic homogenization theory (FVBAHT) for anti-plane shear loading (He, Z., and Pindera, M.-J., “Finite-Volume Based Asymptotic Homogenization Theory for Periodic Materials Under Anti-Plane Shear,” Eur. J. Mech. A Solids (in revision)) is further extended to in-plane loading of unidirectional fiber reinforced periodic structures. Like the anti-plane FVBAHT, the present extension builds upon the previously developed finite volume direct averaging micromechanics theory applicable under uniform strain fields and further accounts for strain gradients and non-vanishing microstructural scale relative to structural dimensions, albeit with multidimensional in-plane loadings incorporated. The unit cell problems at different orders of the asymptotic field expansion are solved by satisfying local equilibrium equations and displacement and traction continuity in a surface-averaged sense which is unique among the existing asymptotic homogenization schemes, leading to microfluctuation functions that yield homogenized stiffness tensors at each order for use in macroscale problems. The newly extended multiscale theory is employed in the analysis of a structural boundary-value problem under in-plane loading, illustrating pronounced boundary effects. A combination approach proposed in the literature is subsequently employed to mitigate the boundary layer effects by explicitly accounting for the microstructural details in the boundary region. This combination approach produces accurate recovery of the local fields in both regions. The extension to in-plane problem marks FVBAHT as an alternative, self-contained asymptotic homogenization tool, with documented advantages relative to current numerical techniques, for the analysis of periodic materials in the presence of strain gradients produced by three-dimensional loading regardless of microstructural scale.

International survey: real-world pain management strategies

Abstract Background Pain is a nearly universal experience, but little is known about how people treat pain. This international survey assessed real-world pain management strategies. Methods From 13-31 January, 2020, an online survey funded by GSK Consumer Healthcare was conducted in local languages in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, UK, and USA. Adults were recruited from online panels of people who agreed to participate in surveys. Quotas ensured nationally representative online populations based on age, gender, and region. Results Of 19,000 people (1000/country) who completed the survey, 18,602 (98%) had ever experienced physical pain; 76% said they would like to control their pain better. Presented with 17 pain-management strategies and asked to select the ones they use in the order of use, respondents chose an average of 4 strategies each. The most commonly selected strategies were pain medication (65%), rest/sleep (54%), consult a doctor (31%), physical therapy (31%), and nonpharmacologic action (eg, heat/cold application; 29%). Of those who use pain medication, 56% take some other action first. Only 36% of those who treat pain do so immediately; 56% first wait to see if it will resolve spontaneously. Top reasons for waiting include a desire to avoid medication (37%); willingness to tolerate less severe pain (33%); concerns about side effects (21%) or dependency (21%); and wanting to avoid a doctor's visit unless pain is severe or persistent (21%). Nearly half (42%) of those who take action to control pain have visited ≥1 healthcare professional (doctor 31%; pharmacist 18%; other 17%) about pain. Conclusions This large global survey shows that people employ a range of strategies to manage pain but still wish for better pain control. Although pain medication is the most commonly used strategy, many people postpone or avoid its use. Key messages More than three-quarters (76%) of respondents across countries seek better pain control. Pain medication and rest/sleep consultation are the most common pain management strategies. More than half of respondents (56%) wait to see if pain will resolve spontaneously before taking any action, and 56% of those who use pain medication try some other approach first.

Electric toothbrush for biofilm control in individuals with Down syndrome: a crossover randomized clinical trial.

Poor oral hygiene seems to be the norm in children and teenagers with Down Syndrome (DS). Advances in design and types of toothbrushes may improve biofilm control. This randomized, single-blind, crossover clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of electric toothbrushes regarding mechanical control of biofilm in children and teenagers with DS and their cooperation. Twenty-nine participants with DS, aged 6 to 14 years, used both types of toothbrushes: electric (ET) and manual (MT). The order of use of the different types of toothbrushes was randomly defined, including a 7-day period with each type with 7-day washout period in between. The Turesky-Quigley-Hein biofilm index was used before and after brushing to assess the effectiveness of the technique. Frankl's behavioral scale was used during toothbrushing to assess the participants' cooperation. Paired T-test, Mann Whitney, Chi-square, and Fisher's Exact tests were applied, with a significance level of 5%. The quantity of dental biofilm was significantly reduced after both brushing techniques (p < 0.001). However, no significant difference was found in total biofilm (ET: 0.73 ± 0.36; MT: 0.73 ± 0.34; p = 0.985) or % biofilm reduction (ET: 72.22%; MT: 70.96%; p = 0.762) after brushing between techniques or in % biofilm reduction between toothbrushes of age groups (6 -9 years, p = 0.919; 10-14 years, p = 0.671). Participants showed similar cooperation level with the two types of toothbrush (p = 1.000). The use of electric or manual toothbrush had no effect on the quantity of dental biofilm removed in children and teenagers with DS, nor did it influence their cooperation during the procedure.

Pengujian UTAUT Model dalam Pemanfaatan Literasi Informasi Perpustakaan Perguruan Tinggi

Exist an information technology hope to increase use of information literacy. In order for use of information literacy to improve well, the technology used must be able will be accepted and used properly by users. It hope that use of information technology can simplify information literacy activities in college libraries. There are still some differences in the problems that occur in earlier studies about use of information systems, so this study aims to decide how much use of university library information literacy using UTAUT model with descriptive quantitative method. The results of this study show that users are more likely will be interested in utilizing the college library information system for other things than using it for scientific literacy activities. In addition, the moderating effects of age, gender, experience also didn’t have a significant effect. Overall, this model can answer several problems in this study.

Analysis of reproducibility, evaluation, and preference of the new iC100 rebound tonometer versus iCare PRO and Perkins portable applanation tonometry.

To analyze the reproducibility of the new iC100 rebound tonometer, to compare its results with the applanation tonometry and iCare PRO and to evaluate the preference between them. For the study of reproducibility, 15 eyes of 15 healthy Caucasian subjects were included. Three measurements were taken each day in three separate sessions. For the comparative study, 150 eyes of 150 Caucasian subjects were included (75 normal subjects and 75 patients with glaucoma). Three consecutive measurements were collected with each tonometer, randomizing the order of use. The discomfort caused by each tonometer was evaluated using the visual analogue scale. No statistically significant differences were detected between sessions. In the comparison between tonometers, the measurements with iC100 were statistically lower than those of Perkins (-1.35 ± 0.417, p = 0.004) and that iCare PRO (-1.41 ± 0.417, p = 0.002). The difference between PRO and Perkins was not statistically significant (p = 0.990). The mean time of measurement (in seconds) with iC100 was significantly lower than with Perkins (6.74 ± 1.46 vs 15.53 ± 2.01, p < 0.001) and that PRO (6.74 ± 1.46 vs 11.53 ± 1.85, p < 0.001). Visual analogue scale score with iC100 was lower than Perkins (1.33 ± 0.99 vs 1.73 ± 1.10, p < 0.05). In total, 61.7% preferred iC100 against Perkins. The reproducibility of this instrument has been proven good. iC100 underestimates intraocular pressure compared to applanation tonometry at normal values and tends to overestimate it in high intraocular pressure values. Most of the subjects preferred iC100 tonometer.

Home pregnancy tests in the hands of the intended user

ABSTRACTThe objectives of this study were to investigate the usability and performance of seven visual home pregnancy tests, available in Europe. Part one of the study was home-based and involved volunteers testing a selection of four home pregnancy tests. The tests used and order of use were randomized. Part two, performed at a study site, involved volunteers reading and interpreting the results of the same selection of home pregnancy tests used in part one, but using urine standards representing early pregnancy (25 mIU/mL human chorionic gonadotropin) or a ‘not pregnant’ (0 mIU/mL human chorionic gonadotropin) sample. The volunteers completed a questionnaire after each test in both parts. Three of the seven tests met their accuracy/reliability claims: tests A (99.8%), B (100%), and F (97.6%) (not statistically different from the claimed 99% accuracy). The remaining four tests had accuracies/reliabilities of <99% at 81.6% (C), 89.0% (E), 92.5% (D), and 95.9% (G), respectively. Test A was the highest-rated test for each attribute tested in both settings. Test D was ranked the lowest in part one and test C was ranked lowest overall for part two. Home pregnancy tests vary in performance and usability, therefore requiring better standardization and performance evaluation in Europe.Clinical Trials Reference Number: NCT03589534

Measuring Self-Esteem Changes in Children and Adolescents Affected by Overweight or Obesity: A Scoping Review of Instruments Currently Used in Multicomponent Weight-Management Interventions.

Purpose: Children and adolescents affected by overweight or obesity are at risk of greater declines in self-esteem than healthy-weight individuals. Participation in multicomponent weight-management programs can positively influence self-esteem in children and adolescents affected by overweight or obesity; however, the variety of questionnaires used to assess self-esteem makes it difficult to compare changes across and identify effective interventions. This review identified and critically examined questionnaires currently used for monitoring self-esteem in children and adolescents. Methods: An electronic search, from 2007 onward, identified multicomponent weight-management interventions that included a measure of self-esteem. A second search identified studies that reported validation assessment of the questionnaires identified in search one. Results: Seven validated self-esteem questionnaires were employed across the 36 studies identified in search one, including (in descending order of use) Harter's Self-Perception Profiles for children and adolescents, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Marsh's Self-Description Questionnaire-I, Beck Youth Inventory II, Piers-Harris Self-Concept Scale, and Children and Youth Physical Self-Perception Profile. These tools measured global self-esteem (n = 1) as well as self-esteem as a series of subscales (multidimensional), such as physical appearance and social competence (n = 6). Conclusions: In the absence of changes in global self-esteem, multidimensional tools allow the examination of domains of self-esteem. The Harter's Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) and adolescents questionnaire is an example of a tool that encompasses multidimensional aspects of self-esteem and global self-esteem and is appropriate for younger and older aged children and adolescents.

Electromagnetic-wave sintering of alumina ceramics from nano-sized particles: possible material for high-pressure cell for millimeter-wave electron spin resonance

Electromagnetic-wave sintering of alumina ceramics using 28 GHz gyrotron has been performed aiming for a high fracture toughness value in order for use as pistons for pressure cells of high-frequency electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements. We have tried to improve the fracture toughness by using nano-sized alumina powder (140 nm in average particle size) having smaller particle size than our previous work (400 nm in average particle size). Rapid densification was observed around the sintering temperature of 1200 °C. We obtained the relative density over 99 % above 1400 °C. It was found that alumina ceramics made in this work at sintering temperatures have smaller grain size and higher density simultaneously as compared to the previous work. These results suggest that alumina ceramics made from powder of smaller particle size sintered by electromagnetic-wave sintering possibly have high fracture toughness which can be used as materials for the pressure cell for ESR.

Dynamic Four-step Sequential Extraction Procedure Using a Four-channel Circulating Flow System for Extracting Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn from Solid Environmental Samples.

A method for extracting metals from solid samples was developed. The system had four flow channels (each containing a column packed with a solid sample), a single-flow peristaltic pump, and eight six-port valves. An extractant was passed into each channel for a specified period, then the valves were closed. We evaluated the system by performing a four-step sequential extraction procedure to extract heavy metals from a lake sediment sample. The four extractants were, in order of use, magnesium chloride, ammonium acetate, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and hydrochloric acid. The concentrations of the analytes extracted agreed well with the concentrations determined using the batch method. The system was also successfully used to analyze heavy metals in a soil sample from a parking lot and fly ash from a domestic waste disposal facility. The total amount of extractant required per sample using the system was two-thirds of the amount required using the batch method.

HIV DRUG RESISTANCE EARLY WARNING INDICATORS AND THEIR ASSESSMENT IN SOME REGIONS OF RUSSIA

The article describes the first limited experience of early warning indicators (EWIs) of HIV drug resistance recommended by WHO; information on their content and order of use is given. The results of EWIs survey performed in 2016 in nine Russian cities: Blagoveshchensk, Vladivostok, Yekaterinburg, Izhevsk, Krasnodar, Perm, Saint-Petersburg, Khanty-Mansiysk, and the Moscow Region — are presented. The on-time pill pick up indicators were optimal, &gt;90% in four centers (44,4%), all others showed intermediate resulеs (80–90%). The retention rate was over 85% in six of the nine regions (66,6%). Two of the nine regions (22,2%) reported the existence of stock-outs in the supply of antiretroviral drugs. Bi-and monotherapy with antiretroviral drugs was administered to patients in three regions (33,3%). Suppression of viral load to values less than 1000 copies RNA/ml in more than 85% of patients was achieved only in three regions (33,3%). The conclusion was made concerning the necessity to implement the monitoring of HIV drug resistance in Russia as soon as possible, including an analysis of the EWIs and other types of monitoring studies.

Problems of the Financialand Legal Nature of Funds of Organizations

The object of science of the financial right is understood as the public relations arising in the course of activities for systematic education (formation), distribution and use of the public, municipal and other public foundations for realization of problems of public character. At the same time the problem of publicity or not publicity of the legal nature of some funds remains not resolved neither in science of the financial right, nor in the legislation of the Russian Federation that does nоt give the chance precisely to define limits of an object of science of the financial right. The obligation of formation and also the sizes which purposes and an order of use are provided by imperatively federal normative legal acts is about funds of funds of the private organizations. In particular, it is possible to carry indemnification funds of self-regulatory organizations, obligatory reserves of credit institutions, reserve funds of joint-stock companies, reserve fund of Association of Tour Operators to such funds in the sphere of outbound tourism, an indemnification fund of professional association of insurers on obligatory insurance by the citizen of responsibility of carrier for infliction of harm of life, etc. In article questions of the legal nature of separate funds of the organizations, including specifics and financial and legal features of their formation and use, relevant for financial and legal science, are considered. Provisions of the legislation of the Russian Federation and also a position of the leading erudite jurists of rather public or non-public legal nature of funds are analyzed. The attention is especially focused that funds have special-purpose character, are formed and used in public interests by the organizations equipped with public functions.

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF ELASTIC BANDAGE ON THE ANKLE BASKETBALL PLAYERS WITH AND WITHOUT CHRONIC INSTABILITY

ABSTRACT Introduction: Basketball is a sport that requires good motor coordination as well as intense and multidirectional movements. Chronic ankle instability affects about 40% of patients who have sustained a sprain injury. In order to minimize the effects of this dysfunction, functional elastic tape has been widely used due to its mechanical properties, having some positive effects on athletes’ functional performance. Objective: To evaluate the effect of elastic tapes on the ankles of basketball players with and without chronic instability. Method: Thirteen athletes from a varsity basketball team of both sexes, aged between 18 and 30 years (23.2 ± 3.2 years), who had been playing the sport for at least one year and trained at least twice a week. The subjects were assessed using the anterior drawer test for the presence or absence of chronic ankle instability and in three different situations: placebo, elastic tape and control, and the order of use of the implements was randomly determined, using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) to assess the ankle stability of these athletes. Results: Among the eight directions proposed in the SEBT, there was statistical significance in the difference in three directions for the placebo method in comparison to elastic taping and control. There was no statistical significance in the difference in four directions between the assessments, and there was no statistical significance in the difference in all directions between the control and elastic tapes. Conclusion: It can be inferred from the study that elastic taping does not have positive effects on joint stability in athletes with and without chronic instability, taking into account their functionality.
