In the conditions of 2023, elite forms 4-5-05-08, 5-1-05-08 were characterized by resistance to fungal diseases.

Job satisfaction as a condition for teachers’ psychological well-being: An empirical study

Introduction. The article examines the problem of the correlations between teachers’ psychological well-being and job satisfaction. The purpose of the study is to identify the components of teachers’ psychological well-being and compare the level of psychological well-being of teachers with different attitudes towards the profession. Materials and Methods. The methodological basis of the study includes research articles by Russian and international scholars in the field of psychological well-being as a general scientific phenomenon and psychological well-being of teachers in particular. In order to collect empirical data, surveys were conducted in three municipalities of the Sverdlovsk region (N=1484 teachers) in 2021-2022 using the five-factor questionnaire TIPI-RU, the Meaning-in-Life Orientations test, the Muddy’s Resilience test, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale, and the Life Satisfaction Scale (E. Diener). Methods of mathematical statistics were used to process the results obtained. Results. The main results of the study consist in identification of several regularities that influence the state of teachers’ psychological well-being in the surveyed municipalities. The authors found that the use of various sets of techniques gives comparable results on the phenomenon under study, and the key component of the psychological well-being of respondents is their attitude towards their work. The identified set of personal qualities is decisive for the analysis of the relationship between attitude towards the profession and the level of satisfaction with it. It is also shown that satisfaction with the teaching profession increases in proportion to the length of teaching experience. Conclusions. The article concludes about the correlation between the status of teachers’ psychological well-being and their job satisfaction. The presented results can be used in the development of measures aimed at professional burnout prevention and increasing meaningful attitudes towards teaching profession at both regional and federal levels.

Уровни цифрового неравенства: особенности проявления в Уральском федеральном округе

Introduction. Access to information, digital products and services contributes to reducing barriers in individual’s interaction with state, organizations, and other individuals, also providing opportunities for human development. The author assesses the digital inequality level of the constituent entities of the Ural Federal District.Materials and methods. Theoretically, the research is based on the concept of three levels of digital inequality, according to which inequality can be manifested at the level of access to Internet and information and communication technologies; at the level of the users’ digital skills and competencies; at the level of benefits obtained from the use of digital technologies and impacting individual life chances. The materials used are: statistical data of the Russian information society development monitoring, research on the digital literacy of the Russian population, conducted by the Analytical Center of the National Agency for Financial Research, the Russian Association of Electronic Communications, the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation and the National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, as well as the results of an expert survey conducted by the author in 2023 with state civil servants of the Sverdlovsk region and employees of “Electronic government operator”, the state budgetary institution of the Sverdlovsk region.Results. The article reveals the specific features of digital inequality of the entities of the Ural Federal District. The geographical features of the region paradoxically affects the digital inequality level. The more compactly located territories of the Sverdlovsk, Tyumen and Chelyabinsk regions provide for the appropriate infrastructure with better broadband Internet access. A social consequence of low Internet access in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is, in part, that not all medical organizations can be connected to the Integrated National Health Information System. In addition, there is no direct correlation between Internet access and digital skills development. On the contrary, remoteness and inaccessibility of territories act as drivers for the development of digital competencies of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and Yugra residents, who are more efficient in using digital technologies in e-commerce and public services.Discussions and conclusions. “Bridging the Digital Divide” federal program implementation will increase the information infrastructure availability. Conscious and focused effort is required to improve digital literacy and cyber hygiene of the population.

The successful implementation of the main components of the model, the accumulated experience in training qualified personnel based on practice-oriented training, and the dissemination of the sectoral model of personnel training within the framework of the implementation of the federal project “Professionalitet” have made it possible to build an algorithm for regional interaction. The effectiveness and quality of the result of the algorithm actualize the directions of support and growth zones for the professional development of teachers in the Sverdlovsk Region. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the approach to determining the directions and growth zones for the professional development of teachers in secondary vocational education from the perspective of the new educational technology “Professionalitet”. As a result, an algorithm for regional interaction of subjects in the system of secondary vocational education and a possible sequence for implementing the principles of the new educational technology “Professionalitet” are proposed.

Правовое регулирование деятельности трудовых иммигрантов-корейцев российским императорским правительством в годы Первой мировой войны (на английском)

The article analyzes the conditions of labor migration of ethnic Koreans from Manchuria and China to the Urals of the Russian Empire in 1915—1916, and their experience of interaction with the local Russian authorities. The research is based on the archival materials of the State Archive of the Sverdlovsk region (GASO). This article focuses on the legal and social status of the Korean laborers, their living conditions, habitat, and local conflicts. The study draws on theoretical insights from a range of works on immigration, and the political and economic integration of immigrants. With the onset of World War I, conscription into the Russian Imperial Army drained the manpower reserves, especially in the industries in the Urals. Some industries were under threat of permanent closure. The local tsarist administration petitioned the Foreign Ministry to employ Chinese and Korean laborers in these regions. The results of the research show that the Imperial government did not have a coherent structural plan for the accommodation of Eastern immigrant workers. The government largely improvised, regulating the migration process by issuing various decrees aimed at creating a legal basis for the immigrants. The findings also contradict the earlier Soviet historiography hypothesis about the widespread oppression of ethnic minorities in the Russian Empire. Unlike the Chinese workers who eventually left Russia for Manchuria, the Korean workers chose to stay in Russia after their contractual obligations expired and enjoyed the same rights and privileges as local Russian workers. The research reveals evidence of mistreatment of Korean workers; however, the wrongdoers were local Russian Korean merchants who acted as intermediaries between the local administration and the hired Korean immigrant workers.

EXPRESS ASSESSMENT OF ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE REGION AS A TOOL FOR OPERATIONAL FORECASTING OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE POPULATION

The issue of improving the quality of life of the population of Russian regions is relevant for a number of reasons: the need to achieve a decent standard of living of the population, comparable to the level of developed countries and leading regions of the Russian Federation; taking into account the peculiarities of regional development; objective restrictions in people’s lives caused by crisis development factors, including epidemic waves, sanctions pressure from unfriendly countries, etc. For operational management influence, a tool is needed that would ensure constant monitoring of the quality of life of the population, the level and dynamics of its changes. However, today, existing methods for assessing the quality of life are a labor-­intensive and time-consuming scientific task with a large number of indicators. The purpose of this study is to substantiate environmental and economic security as a predictor of the quality of life of the population of the region and to develop an express method for assessing the level of its provision. In the work, the authors used such methods as analysis and synthesis of scientific information, an index method for assessing the key components of the environmental and economic security of the region based on subindices. The results of the study substantiate the essence of the ecological and economic security of the region as a predictor of the quality of life of the population, which is the ability of the regional ecological and economic system to maintain its current state and the possibility of development under the influence of external or internal influences, including man-made ones, and also to function without changing its own structure and be in balance to ensure the normal functioning of the population of the region. Based on the index method for assessing the key components of the region’s environmental and economic security, the values for three subindices (sustainability, stability and technogenicity) were determined, as well as the integral index of environmental and economic security of the regions of the Ural Federal District, which were divided into two groups for correct comparison, from 2017 to 2021, the leading regions were identified (Yamalo-­Nenets Autonomous Okrug, II (2021) = 0.743; Kurgan region, II (2021) = 0.508) and outsider regions (Khanty-­Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug — ​Yugra, II (2021) = 0.475; Sverdlovsk Region, II (2021) = 0.391).

Идентификация гаплотипов фертильности крупного рогатого скота

Abstract. An analysis of the reproduction rates of modern Holstein cattle populations has shown that one of the key factors influencing the decline in the reproductive qualities of cows are genetic factors. In recent decades, a large amount of data has accumulated on the presence in the genome of recessive mutations in the DNA sequence, which in the homozygous state reduce the reproductive functions of animals, causing embryonic mortality. The use of a limited number of outstanding sire bulls for artificial insemination has reduced the original genetic diversity. In this regard, the identification and determination of fertility haplotypes in populations has recently become an integral part of breeding work with cattle. Genotyping of 584 heads of Holstein cattle from 2 farms in the Sverdlovsk region was carried out in order to identify heterozygous carriers of anomalies: HH0 (FANCI), HH1 (APAF1), HH3 (SMC2), HH4 (GART), HH5 (TFB1M), HH6 (SDE2), HH7 (CENPU), HHB (ITGB2, BLAD), HHC (SLC35A3, CVM), RABGGTB, RNF20 and TTF1. The scientific novelty lies in determining the frequency of occurrence of fertility haplotypes that have not previously been studied in the Sverdlovsk region. The purpose of the study is to determine the frequency of occurrence of fertility haplotypes of Holstein cattle in populations of the Sverdlovsk region. Research methods. To diagnose mutations, we used test systems developed in the Laboratory of Molecular Basis of Breeding, Department of Biotechnology and Molecular Diagnostics of Animals, L. K. Ernst Federal Research Center. Results. The number of fertility haplotypes in the studied herds differed not only in the frequency of occurrence of the defect, but also in the number of types of detected haplotypes. In the population of “Kamenskoye” JSC, the largest number of animals were carriers of fertility haplotypes HH4 and HH3 with a carriage frequency of 1.891 and 1.412 %, respectively; the educational and experimental farm identified the largest number of haplotypes HH3 and HH6 with a carriage frequency of 4.082 %.

Продуктивные особенности коров голштинской породы разных генетических линий

Abstract. The purpose of the study is to investigate the productive features of Holstein cows of different genetic lines. Methods. The research was carried out in two breeding enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region on the livestock of Holstein cows. Groups of animals were formed by the method of pairs of analogues, taking into account the age of animals in lactation, physiological condition, live weight, lines of breeding bulls. The coefficient of milk content was estimated by the calculation method. The lactose, fat and protein content in milk was determined using a “Bentley 150” device. Somatic cells were determined on the “Somatos-M” device. Bacterial contamination was studied using a reductase assay. Prolactin was determined by enzyme immunoassay, cortisol by immunochemiluminescent method. Results. In terms of milk yield for 305 days of lactation and protein content in milk, Montwick Chieftain cows had an advantage with a significant difference between the groups (P < 0.05). The animals of the Reflection Sovering line were the best in terms of fat content, the difference between the groups was insignificant. The lowest content of somatic cells in milk and bacterial contamination was found in animals of the Reflection Sovering and Vis Back Idial lines. The best indicators of the leukocyte profile were determined in animals of the Vis Back Idial and Montwick Chieftain lines. In terms of glucose and total protein content in the blood, cows of the Montwick Chieftain line had an advantage, in terms of the amount of urea, animals of the Montwick Chieftain and Vis Back Idial line affiliation. The highest level of total lipids in the blood is typical for cows of the Reflection Sovering line. Scientific novelty. The research results indicate the relationship of biological characteristics and milk productivity with different lines of breeding bulls. The leukocyte profile of this herd of cows of different genetic lines in breeding enterprises of the Sverdlovsk region was studied for the first time. Practical significance. The results of the research can be used in breeding enterprises in order to increase the milk productivity of cows.

ЦИФРОВОЕ СЕЛЬСКОЕ ХОЗЯЙСТВО: ОПЫТ РОССИЙСКИХ РЕГИОНОВ

The article is devoted to certain aspects of digitalization of the Russian agro-industrial complex in the regional context. The task of increasing the efficiency of agricultural activities and the transition to import-substituting food production is key in modern conditions of sanctions pressure and trade restrictions. One of the effective solutions to this task is the large-scale digitalization of the agro-industrial sector in all regions of Russia. The article reveals the most popular digital solutions currently used by Russian agricultural enterprises. Among them are precision agriculture, precision animal husbandry, agricultural robotization, artificial intelligence, and drone technologies. Precision agriculture and precision animal husbandry are considered in the context of individual regions. It is proved that the leading positions in the field of application of precision farming elements belong to such Russian regions as the Krasnodar Territory, the Voronezh Region and the Belgorod Region. Krasnodar Region is also one of the leaders in the use of digital elements in the livestock sector. Along with it, the leading regions for the use of precision livestock farming solutions are the Udmurt Republic, the Altai Territory, and the Sverdlovsk Region. As a result of the study, it was concluded that an increasing number of agricultural enterprises use digital solutions in their practice. This, on the one hand, allows agricultural producers to receive additional benefits associated with increased productivity and efficiency, and on the other hand, creates new problems in terms of high costs for the introduction of digital technologies and a shortage of qualified IT agri-specialists. Each agricultural enterprise has to independently find a compromise between the possible benefits and costs of digitalization.

The Forensic Service (the Case Study of the Sverdlovsk Region in the 1920s–1940s)

The paper describes the process of formation and functioning of a specialized forensic service in the Urals in order to successfully combat crime during a diffi-cult unstable transition period for the country. The authors put museum information resources and archival documents as the substantive foundation of the paper. It is emphasized that the formation of the service begins with the relocation of specialists who organize this work to Sverdlovsk from Ufa. It is noted that in the 1920s there was an urgent need for personnel training for this type of activity, in connection with which courses for the training of forensic and technical experts at the Criminal Investigation Department of the NKVD were actively developing. Attention is focused on the importance of the issue of methodological support. In the 1920s the first textbook on forensic expertise appeared in Russia. During the study period, along with the need to work with traditional traces found at the scene, there was a need to detect and remove traces and objects during research that required the use of physico‑chemical methods in laboratories, in connection with which physicists and chemical experts appeared. Thus, the use of special research methods for objects seized from accident sites began in the late 1920s. In their conclusions, the authors note that the formation of an expert forensic service was carried out on the basis of scientific justification and methodological support of methods to combat unsolved crimes.

Distribution of productivity elements in different morphotypes of pea plants

The research was carried out in 2021–2023 in order to identify patterns in the formation of quantitative indicators of the main elements of productivity in seeded peas of various morphotypes to increase the efficiency of breeding. The experiments were carried out in the forest-steppe zone in the south–west of the Sverdlovsk region on gray forest soils according to the predecessor – wheat in a ten-field crop rotation. The material for the study was 24 varieties of baleen, leafy morphotype and «chameleons». The standard in the group of whiskered was Krasnoufimskyj 11, leafy – Marafon, chameleons – Spartak. The repetition is threefold. As a result of studying the pea collection, it was found that the studied groups of varieties had the highest productivity in whiskered forms of peas, thanks to such varieties as Ybilyar (282.2 g/ m2), Ryzhik (277.2 g/m2), KM 11 BK 22 (262.3 g/m2) and Tomas (261.3 g/m2). The largest number of beans on the plant were leafy forms of peas: Holik – 5.3 pcs.; Krasnoufimskyj 70–3.7 pcs.; 54 % of cultivars (13 pcs.) have the number of beans on the plant 2.7–3.3 pcs. According to the largest number of seeds in a bean, the leading position is occupied by cultivars of the whiskered morphotype and «chameleons» (14 varieties each – 3.4–4.3 pcs.). The leafy varieties have only 8 varieties with the maximum number of seeds in a bean (3.6–3.9 pcs.). There is a more uniform spread in this indicator among the whiskered cultivars. The weight of 1000 seeds in the studied cultivars of the whiskered morphotype and «chameleons» (220–250 g) was lower than in leafy varieties (250–300 g). Seeds of medium size (171–220 g) were found in 17 whiskered (71 %), 16 leafy (67 %) and 8 «chameleons» (33 %). The largest mass of seeds from one plant in the leafy morphotype is in the Tyumenskij kormovoj variety (3.0 g). In Chameleons, 58 % of cultivars (14 pcs.) have a plant productivity of 2.0 to 2.5 g. For effective breeding, it is necessary to use varieties of various morphotypes with the best biometric indicators in crosses and to focus on the selection of offspring for the morphotype of «mustachioed» peas with the best technological cultivation in the region.

Manageability of youth media volunteering: characteristics of activity and organizational conditions

The article is devoted to the study of the experience of young Russians in media volunteering, with the objective of identifying the potential of this type of prosocial activity and determining the conditions for its expansion among youth. The analysis of scientific literature and the results of a sociological survey of youth in the Sverdlovsk region aged 14 to 35 years enabled us to identify the factors and characteristics that facilitate the activation of the subjectivity of the youth in media volunteer initiatives. It was found that in order to increase the manageability of digital volunteering among youth, potential media volunteers must understand the value of their activities in the media. It is necessary to expand interaction not only between the organizers of volunteer activities and volunteers, but also between volunteers and beneficiaries. This condition is also connected with the need to broadcast in the public space both the initiatives themselves and the qualitative changes in the lives of beneficiaries that have occurred thanks to the help of media volunteers. The next important element is the choice of communication channel with potential volunteers. Social networks and online platforms are the most convenient and easy to use for both the organizers and the volunteers themselves. It has been demonstrated that if modern youth possess fundamental digital literacy skills, the primary motivation for participation in media volunteer initiatives among young Ural residents is the prospect of acquiring new knowledge and skills for their professional development. The study indicated that for the effective management of this type of volunteering, a supportive digital environment, which is currently being established in our country through the implementation of federal digital platforms, is crucial. Young Russians are well acquainted with both the "Dobro.RF" online platform and the online portal "We decide to". The results obtained can be used by organizers of social projects in the non-profit sector to improve the efficiency of recruiting young volunteers and expand their functionality.

Methodological and technological aspects of the production of lactose-free dairy products

The article provides a rationale for the need to study the development of new lactose-free dairy products, due to an increase in the volume of consumption and the need to master whey processing technologies, using various lactose removal technologies, including enzymatic ones. Whey is rich in amino acids, has high biological value and high degree of digestibility in the human body, due to which whey processed products become attractive to a consumer.The purpose of the research is to develop a method for producing lactose-free albumin from fresh whey obtained after the production of cheese or cottage cheese, using enzymatic hydrolysis technology. The market for lactose-free dairy products in the Russian Federation and the assortment that is presented in the city of Yekaterinburg, the Sverdlovsk region, have been analyzed. The parameters of temperature, duration, and amount of β-galactosidase enzyme added to obtain a lactose-free dairy product with the highest weight yield and the best organoleptic characteristics based on actual technological developments have been investigated. Organoleptic, physicochemical and microbiological indicators of the quality and safety of the resulting lactose-free albumin have been studied. The resulting product has organoleptic characteristics and structure similar to classic cottage cheese, so that it can be used as a cottage cheese substitute for the development of lactose-free products and dishes for baby food.

The role of gadgets in the everyday life of a young child: exploring the impact of digital dementia and the importance of digital hygiene

Introduction. With the rapid integration of digital technology into every aspect of society, it is inevitable that preschool children are also exposed to gadgets. This has raised concerns among parents, educators, and researchers alike. While there are undeniable benefits such as access to educational resources and innovative learning techniques, the excessive use of gadgets can have detrimental effects on children's attention span, speech development, and social skills. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a balanced and appropriate interaction between preschoolers and digital devices, drawing from the experiences of key influencers in children's development, namely parents and preschool teachers. The purpose of the research is to analyze the perspective and approach of parents, kindergarten teachers, and additional preschool education teachers regarding the utilization of electronic devices by young children. Materials and methods. The online survey involved 412 kindergarten teachers in the Sverdlovsk region (Russian Federation), as well as 15 teachers of additional preschool education institutions and 15 mothers of preschool children took part in a semi-structured interview. Results. Preschoolers have been found to have the highest level of exposure to gadgets both at home and in kindergartens. However, in additional education institutions, the integration of gadgets into their activities is not as prevalent, as they tend to rely more on traditional teaching methods. The majority of kindergarten teachers utilize gadgets when working with preschoolers. They often employ videos, cartoons, and interactive whiteboard lessons as teaching tools. It is worth noting that the percentage of teachers who oppose the use of gadgets has significantly decreased to 5%. On the other hand, 90% of teachers have a positive attitude towards digitalization and believe that the effective use of modern technologies can simplify their work and engage children, ultimately benefiting them. Nevertheless, it has been discovered that the prescribed norms for the use of digital technologies by preschool children are often not adhered to. This is due to the fact that children use gadgets at home for entertainment purposes, such as watching cartoons and playing games for 30-60 minutes or more per day. Additionally, in kindergartens, children spend around 20-30 minutes watching videos and educational content, resulting in a total screen time that often exceeds one hour per day. This highlights the necessity to enhance the digital competence of parents and teachers, implement a monitoring system for children's gadget usage, and develop comprehensive guidelines for children's interaction with digital technologies. Conclusion. The results of the study highlight the necessity of formulating comprehensive guidelines for children's engagement with digital technologies, alongside enhancing the digital proficiency of parents and educators. This approach will facilitate the proper utilization of gadgets and maximize the advantages they offer for a child's growth and development.

Уральский федеральный округ: территории и политическая культура государственных гражданских и муниципальных служащих

The article studies the political culture of state civil and municipal employees of a specific territory of the Russian Federation – the Ural Federal District. The purpose of the study is to identify UrFO territories with the most developed political culture among state civil and municipal employees. The author maintains a well-known statement about the interrelation of factors influencing political culture – it is economic and educational. To these factors, they added – and also scientific, because today in the information society, science largely determines the development of the economy. In the course of the study, the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions were the most successful in terms of all factors. The exceptions are the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District and Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, which have the highest standard of living, wages and excellent supplies due to the development of oil and gas production, but the level of education and science development lags behind.
