teenage athletes, health school, information and cognitive impacts, socio-psychological effectiveness, personal anxiety, the quality of life, Agriculture, and Science

Relevance. This work is devoted to social diagnostics and social prevention of possible negative side effects of medical, social and psychological plan that occur against the background of the main training and educational processes of pubertal athletes, taking into account their gender. Purpose: to assess the gender characteristics of the life quality and personal anxiety (PA) dynamics of the Brothers Samurgashevs’ Rostov Region Olympic Reserve Sports School No. 35 high school students against the background of classes at the health school (HS). Methods: historical, pedagogical, socio-psychological, social prevention, sociological, statistical and graphic methods, as well as the method of content analysis. Results: after the HS classes PA decreased more than 40% overall for the sample. The decrease in PA was accompanied by an increase in QoL by almost 15%. The main PA priorities for female athletes turned out to be the following signs: “You are in danger of failure, bad luck”; “To see bad or “prophetic” dreams”; “Something is not working out for you”. Among male athletes, the initial level of PA was lower than that of female by 40.1%. The priorities of male anxiety were such signs as: “You are in danger of failure, bad luck”; “They don’t pay attention to you”; “You can’t do your homework”. After HS classes, girls most quickly eliminated PA in such areas as “Waiting for parents after their personal conversation with the school principal” and “Seeing bad or “prophetic” dreams”, and boys - “You don’t understand the teacher’s explanations”, “(They) fell silent when you approached”, “Something is not working out for you”. The initial level of QoL of young female athletes was significantly lower by 8.7% than that of young male athletes, and after training at the HS, it exceeded the corresponding indicator in the group of young male athletes by 4.7%. After classes at the HS, young male athletes noted an improvement in relations during their studies (with peers, superiors, etc.), however, in quantitative terms, this improvement was 9 times lower than in the group of young female athletes. Also, young male athletes noted an improvement in their physical condition and strengthening of skills and abilities in organizing their time, but 5 and 4 times (respectively) less pronounced than in the group of young female athletes. Conclusion. The results obtained can be widely disseminated in similar sports schools to ensure monitoring and bringing the level of personal anxiety and quality of life of students to age norms.

pinus sylvestris l., picea obovata ledeb., south of eastern siberia, needle, water-soluble sugars, seasonal changes, Agriculture, and Science

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Siberian spruce (Picea obovata Ledeb.), which are common for the south of Eastern Siberia, differ from each other in their ecophysiological characteristics. Scots pine is more thermophilic and drought-resistant, while Siberian spruce is more hydrophilic and tolerates cooling better. In different seasons, both species accumulate water-soluble sugars (WSS) in their needles, which are one of the factors of cold and drought resistance of needles. The level of WSS accumulation in needles can be influenced by both factors determined by the tree species and territorial ones, associated with the climate of the growing region. For the first time, this study introduces a comparison of changes in WSS content in Scots pine and Siberian spruce growing in the south of Eastern Siberia during two annual cycles. During the observation period, winter 2015-2016 was colder than winter 2016-2017, and the growth period 2015 was warmer and wetter than the same period in 2016. WSS content in Scots pine needles was found to be less subject to fluctuations and, according to the results of most of the observations made, to be higher than in Siberian spruce needles both in more favorable and less favorable conditions for the physiological activity. The exception was the period of November-February 2015-2016 (when WSS content in the needles of both species was the same) and March-April 2016 (when it was higher in Siberian spruce needles). The ability of Scots pine to maintain higher WSS reserve in its needles is possibly one of the mechanisms that allow trees of this species to successfully compete with Siberian spruce and occupy larger territories under the extreme conditions of the south of Eastern Siberia.

subjective evaluation of the health, quality of life, subjective age, breast cancer, oncopsychology, Agriculture, and Science

This article is devoted to the results of the study of the relationship between subjective age and subjective assessment of health among women with breast cancer. The analysis of the literature showed that subjective age is a predictor of death, mental wellness, assessment of life prospects (approach of death), possibility of coping with a bad trauma (e.g. oncological disease). The research included 170 women in the age of 31 to 85 (the average age is 56,5) diagnosed with breast cancer on different stages. Summarising received data, it should be noted that the women who feel rather danger than their chronological age address to own resources and, in general their subjective health assessment is connected with role functioning based on the emotional condition and general mental health. The women with adequate perception of their age have issues with role functioning connected with physical condition as well as the women who feel older than they actually are do. The results of this research expand a notion about potential predictors for breast cancer course, besides the results can be used for building the forecast of the disease course and its outcome.

woody plants, tannins, polyphenol oxidase activity, life state, Agriculture, and Science

Objective. The study of anthropogenic impact on environmental components, primarily on woody and shrub plants, which are the main medium-forming element in natural and artificial ecosystems, is relevant. The subject of this study was the ecological and biological state of plants under conditions of technogenic stress. Materials and methods. The article presents the results of a study of the life state of woody plants. For this, test plots were laid on the territory of sanitary protection zones of industrial enterprises and in the plantings of main plantings. The quantitative content of tannins and polyphenol oxidase in plant leaves during the active growing season was determined by spectrophotometry and titrimetric analysis. Results. Vitality decreases in the following order: Betula pendula Roth.> Sorbus aucuparia L.> Rosa majalis Herrn.> Acer negundo L.> Tilia cordata Mill. In plantations of technogenic territories, an increase in damage to the leaf blade is noted, a greater number of dry branches appear in the crown of a tree, compared to the control zone. Thus, in the study area, the lowest life state scores were recorded in Tilia cordata Mill., And the highest vital state scores were recorded in silver birch. In mountain ash, wild rose and American maple, the vital state is average. The increase in the activity of polyphenol oxidase was observed in plantations of technogenic territories, which is a consequence of intensive anthropogenic load on woody plants. Increased activity of polyphenol oxidase helps to decrease the content of tannins in plant leaves. Betula pendula Roth. Sorbus aucuparia L. in the SPZ of industrial enterprises in July, the accumulation of tannins is more intense than in the control plantations. Conclusion. Betula pendula Roth., Sorbus aucuparia L. in the SPZ of industrial enterprises in July, the accumulation of tannins is more intense than in the control plantations. Spectrophotometric determination of activity helps to understand the reasons why the content of tannins increases or decreases. This fact indicates the participation of tannins in the complex of adaptive reactions of plants, which are associated with protection from aerogenic pollutants. As a result of the study, the most resistant to anthropogenic stress plant species were identified: silver birch, cinnamon rose, and rowan tree.

fruits, guelder rose, soluble solids, sugars, variability of features, Agriculture, and Science

Guelder rose (V. opulus L., 1753) is a rare garden crop widespread throughout Russia. It is a valuable food and medicinal raw material due to its rich chemical composition. It contains biologically active phenolic compounds, pectin substances, triterpenoids, polysaccharides, carbohydrates, organic acids, and macro- and micro-elements. The study aimed to investigate the content and variability of soluble solids (SS) and sugars in fruits of V. opulus L. in the conditions of the South of Western Siberia. The research objects are fruits of V. opulus L. of 2 varieties (Taezhnye Rubiny and Avrora) and 15 hybrids. The authors employ the Taezhnye Rubiny variety as a control. The SS content has been determined by the refractometric method and the mass content of sugars – by direct titration of an aqueous extract. The authors calculate Selyaninov’s hydrothermal coefficient (HTC) to characterize the growing season. The limits are determined for the accumulation of SS (from 10.2% to 18.2%) and sugars (from 7.3% to 10.0%) and the variability of these features (14% and 10%, respectively). The number of genotypes with a stable accumulation of SS identified over the years is 82%, and that with high sugar content (8.6%–10.0%) is 35%. The analysis reveals an average adverse correlation between HTC and the accumulation of SS (r=-0.62) and sugars (r=-0.34) in fruits and a strong dependence of these biochemical features on HTC in control (r=0.93, r=0.95).

obesity, metabolic syndrome, quality of life, anxiety-depressive disorders, Agriculture, and Science

Rationale. The article examines the assessment of the quality of life, psychological state (anxiety-depressive disorders, neurosis-like states) in patients with metabolic syndrome. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in different countries is 25-30% and varies depending on the criteria used. The severity of the clinical manifestations of the metabolic syndrome affects the quality of life of patients, while the indicators of physical and mental health decrease. The problem of the quality of life of patients suffering from overweight and obesity is relevant and socially significant. Obesity leads to anxiety-depressive disorders, neurosis-like states, which contributes to a worsening of the prognosis of the underlying disease. The number of patients with chronic metabolic disorders (obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) is increasing in the world every year. The aim of our work was to assess the quality of life, the level of anxiety and depression in patients with metabolic syndrome. Materials and methods. The authors presented the results of a study of 60 patients with metabolic syndrome and 45 apparently healthy volunteers. Examination of patients, determination of anthropometric indicators with an assessment of the quality of life (questionnaire SF-36) were carried out. The level of anxiety and depression was determined according to the hospital scale of anxiety and depression HADS. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the application package "STATISTICA 8.0". Results. Most of the quality of life indicators were statistically significantly different in patients with metabolic syndrome relative to the control group. There was a decrease in the average level of the parameters "physical functioning" by 17.3%, "role functioning" by 31%, "general health" by 11.3%, "vitality" by 13%, "emotional functioning" by 50.1%. ... The level of anxiety and depression in patients with metabolic syndrome corresponded to the subclinical level, the level of depression exceeded the value of the control group by 18%. Conclusion. The study shows that patients with metabolic syndrome are characterized by a decrease in quality of life indicators, subclinically severe anxiety / depression. The goal of any treatment, according to MAPI Research Institute specialists, is to improve the quality of life of patients to the level of healthy individuals, therefore, for patients with metabolic syndrome, along with pathogenetic therapy aimed at reducing body weight, correction of psychological disorders is required, which will reduce the level of anxiety-depressive disorders and will improve quality of life indicators.

squalene, geroprotector, caenorhabditis elegans, stress tolerance, life expectancy, antioxidant activity, Agriculture, and Science

Background. Increasing healthy life expectancy is a priority in modern healthcare. Squalene, a triterpene exhibiting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other properties, is a promising candidate for geroprotectors. Purpose. Assess the activity of squalene, that is, the possibility of its further use as a geroprotector. Materials and methods. Squalene was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (USA) for research. Squalene solutions were prepared with concentrations of 10, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600 µmol/L (solvent dimethyl sulfoxide—DMSO). The work was carried out on the basis of the Laboratory for Biotesting of Natural Nutraceuticals (KemGU, Russia). Antioxidant activity was assessed by capturing ABTS radical cations in comparison with the activity of ascorbic acid. The model organism Caenorhabditis elegans N2 Bristol was purchased from the Laboratory for the Development of Innovative Medicines and Agrobiotechnologies of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. To assess the stress resistance of nematodes during cultivation, conditions of thermal (33°C) and oxidative (adding 15 μl of 1 M paraquat, 20°C) stress were created for 24 and 48 h. conditions (20 °C) for 61 days. The statistical significance of the results was assessed using Student’s t-test (in Microsoft Office Excel 2007). Lifespan data were assessed using a Kaplan-Meier survival plot combined with a log-rank test (Mantel-Cox). Data processing was carried out using the OASIS online application (https://sbi.postech.ac.kr/oasis/). Results. The results showed that squalene solutions did not exhibit antioxidant properties; did not trap radical cations with ABTS. A solution of squalene at a concentration of 10 μM contributed to an increase in the stress resistance of nematodes. Under conditions of oxidative stress, the survival of nematodes during cultivation for 24 hours is 3.1% higher than in the control. Under conditions of heat stress during cultivation for 48 hours, the survival rate is higher by 11.3%. Squalene solutions did not affect the lifespan of nematodes. Conclusion. Presumably, the antioxidant activity of squalene is expressed not in the capture of free radicals, but in the ability to act on biomolecules that lead to oxidative stress. A squalene solution with a concentration of 10 μM can reduce the negative impact of one of the factors causing premature aging. In order to assess the possibility of using squalene as a geroprotector without relying on cation-radical capture, further studies are needed to study the impact of the substance on other targets, mechanisms of action related to the occurrence of age-associated diseases. For example, analysis of the effect of squalene solutions on the growth rate of C. elegans larvae, the ability to influence the expression of antioxidant defense genes, the presence of anti-inflammatory and other properties.

tillage, winter wheat yield, crop structure, statistical analysis, Agriculture, and Science

Background. The conditions of the Volgograd region of the Russian Federation are a zone of risky agriculture with an arid climate. This factor cannot be controlled by agro technological techniques on a full scale, even if all technological processes of field work are followed. Based on this, the development of new adaptive technologies, in relation to certain soil and climatic territories, can be attributed to one of the tasks of modern agricultural science. Tillage is the most important production operation in agriculture, both in terms of energy intensity and the impact on the yield of all cultivated crops. It plays a role in improving soil fertility and its safety from water and wind erosion. The results of the experiment with scientific justification and experimental confirmation on the use of various tillage options (dump, dump less, shallow) for growing field crops depending on the influence of prevailing climatic conditions in 2018-2020 on the experimental field of the Federal Research Center of Agroecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in the dry-steppe zone of chestnut soils are presented. Purpose – is to identify the influence of tillage and emerging climatic conditions on the weeding and yield of winter wheat, to carry out mathematical processing by the STATISTICA Application 10.0.0.0 and Excel statistical processing program for the possibility of subsequent theoretical determination of the dependence of the yield and weeding of winter wheat crops on various tillage options in the emerging climatic conditions. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time studies have been carried out and data have been obtained on the dependence of the yield and infestation of winter wheat crops on various tillage options in the prevailing climatic conditions in the dry steppe zone of chestnut soils. Subsequently, it is possible to theoretically substantiate the use of one or another tillage under certain climatic conditions to reduce the infestation of winter wheat crops and increase its yield. Materials and methods. Since winter wheat is grown in extreme temperature conditions, tillage plays an important role in ensuring the best water regime for the plant life cycle. The soil of the experimental site is light chestnut, heavy loamy, with a humus content of 1.74% in the arable layer. The average annual precipitation was 339.7 mm. The technology of cultivation of these crops was generally accepted for the research area. A zoned variety of winter soft wheat Kamyshanka 4 was sown with a seeding rate of 4.5 million pcs/ha with a seeder SKP-2.1 (Omichka) with anchor coulters. When examining weeds, frames measuring 50×50 cm were used. The species composition of weeds was distributed by type (monocotyledonous or dicotyledonous) and life cycle (annual or perennial). Grain yield was determined, as well as the components of winter wheat yield: plant height (cm), number of grains per ear (pcs), grain weight per ear (gr), weight of 1000 grains (gr). The results of the study were analyzed in the program STATISTICA Application 10.0.0.0. Based on the results of statistical studies, empirical models of soil density were built for the most significant factors. The analysis showed that the density of the soil under various treatments was influenced by air temperature and precipitation during the most critical periods of development. Results. It was found that the highest contamination of winter wheat crops is provided by fine processing of BDT-3 to a depth of 0.10-0.12 m 22.9 pcs/m2. Perennial weeds dominated over annual ones in all treatments. This is primarily due to fluctuations in soil temperature in spring, which leads to a delay in seed germination. The remains of the cover crop make a barrier to the germination of annual weeds and can contribute to larger seeds of perennials. A high content of dry biomass was observed during shallow processing, this is due to a higher moisture content in the soil, since the soil layer is less disturbed during shallow processing. Perennial weeds can be resistant to drought due to different root systems. The annual weeds have a shallow and spongy root system, they cannot get moisture from deep layers of soil. In terms of yield and yield components of winter wheat, the highest indicators were observed for chisel processing by working bodies of the “Ranch” with loosening up to 0.35 m and a layer turnover of 0.12-0.15 m: plant height – 105 cm; the largest number of productive stems – 304 pcs./m2; productive bushiness – 304 pcs./m2; weight of 1000 grains – 40.9 g.; the number of grains per ear – 32.3 pcs./ m2; the weight of grain per ear is 1.32 gr. and the yield is 3.7 t/ha. The field of application of this study is the dry steppe zone of the Lower Volga region. Conclusion. As a result of studying the productivity of winter wheat in rain-fed conditions on light chestnut soils of the Lower Volga region, it was found that, on average, over three years of research from 2018 to 2020. Also, conclusions are made about the good relationship between the use of a certain tool of tillage from the prevailing certain climatic conditions. In the wet years of 2018-2019, the “CHO” Ranch showed itself perfectly to a depth of 12-15 cm, and in the dry year “OO” PN-4-35 to a depth of 0.20 – 0.22 cm due to the creation of a certain water regime and soil density showed the best result. The data processed in STATISTICA Application 10.0.0.0 and in Excel provide a theoretical justification for the direct dependence of yield factors on treatments for all factors of soil structure and contamination, as well as on the yield structure for the period 2018-2020 years.

It is revealed that in order to effectively develop the infrastructure of rural settlements as a tool to improve the quality of life of the rural population, it is necessary to abandon the policy of maximum coverage in favor of a policy of concentrating efforts on a certain territory on the basis of a comprehensive plan covering all spheres of society and involving sectoral authorities in its implementation within a single project.

eurasian economic union, international economic integration, food security, agricultural sector, food market, grain, export, import, Agriculture, and Science

The paper focuses on a critical issue of ensuring food security for countries that are members of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which is especially important given the transformation of the global food market in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research aims (1) to assess the possibility of creating a single food market of the EAEU and (2) to identify the difficulties faced by the Siberian agricultural sector in addressing food security issues and export development. The paper presents the results of the study concerning the development of trade and economic cooperation between the Siberian Federal District (SFD) of the Russian Federation and the EAEU countries with regard to the agricultural market. Based on the statistical analysis of national data, we examined the particular aspects of Siberian agricultural export development. We were able to identify the largest trading partners among the EAEU member states and study the particular aspects of their food imports based on the Russian database indicators. According to the analysis results, we concluded that exports are dominated by food products, namely intermediate and final products, which correspond to the objectives of the Russian Federation National Project International Cooperation and Exports. Market research on the breakdown of imports to the EAEU showed that it imported dairy products, fruits, vegetables, and processed foods. We identified the most promising areas of export development for the SFD based on a review of the scientific studies on economic integration and food security issues. The scientific novelty of this research lies in proving the need to develop exports of finished food products with a high level of processing, which requires the integrated development of the food processing industry in the SFD by means of regional strategic programs for introducing innovative biotechnologies in deep processing of agricultural raw materials. The research findings might be of great interest to members of the academic community and undergraduate and graduate students pursuing similar research agendas.

students who have been ill with covid-19, life-meaning orientations, basic beliefs, daily employment of students, restrictive measures, comparative analysis, Agriculture, and Science

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic and the mass self-isolation associated with it had a significant impact on the features of the semantic sphere of personality formed by students at its beginning. And the more the changed living conditions affected the life and health of the students themselves, the more likely their life-meaning orientations, basic beliefs, as well as the practice of filling the time of their own life have changed. It is important to determine what differences in these parameters are observed in those students who have had this viral infection, when compared with those students who have not had it. The purpose of the study was to identify the features of the meaning-of-life orientations of the individual, basic beliefs and the daily structuring of life time during the period of self-isolation of students who were ill with the COVID-2019 viral infection. Materials and methods. The sample consisted of 180 students who studied at the 4th year of several Moscow universities (MSPPU, RSSU, MSOU, etc.) at the faculties of social and humanitarian orientation. A group of students who had been ill with COVID-19 was selected from this randomly compiled student sample. Two student groups were compared: 1) students who have had COVID-19; 2) students who have not had it. Empirical data are collected on the basis of the test “Life orientations” by D.A. Leontiev, the scale of basic beliefs (WAS) by R. Yanov-Bulman in the adaptation of M.A. Padun and A.V. Kotelnikova and a specially developed methodology for students ‘ self-assessment of the structure and volume of daily employment during the period of restrictive measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The list of types of daily employment was developed by students of the 4th year of the Faculty of Extreme Psychology of the Moscow State Psychological and Pedagogical University during training sessions in an online format. It included the following types of daily employment: sleep, educational activities, housework, time at the computer for non-educational purposes, lying in a horizontal position, maintaining physical fitness, watching TV, other employment-its own version, which could include work, volunteer activities, etc. The students participating in the study were given instructions as subjects: “Please remember what exactly you were usually busy with during the day during the period of self-isolation and express it in % ratio, based on the total amount of 100%. In the line: “Other employment” – list what exactly you were doing.” Mathematical and statistical data processing is carried out on the basis of the MS package Office Excel, IBM SPSS Statistics 23. The reliability of the differences in the indicators of the two student groups was determined by the Mann-Whitney U-criterion. Results. It is established that ill virus COVID-19 students differ from students without a history of them, the higher the overall level of meaningfulness of life; although the structure of the General level of meaningfulness of life in them is the same (in first place is the goal of life, followed by: locus of control life, the process of life, the result of life; this completes the hierarchy of locus of control, “I”), but the students had been ill with the virus COVID-19, live with a more pronounced sense of the efficiency of life and are more motivated people; they also have a relatively higher indicators of locus of control life, the process of life, locus of control “I”; ill with the virus COVID-19 students have similar levels of belief in the benevolence of the world and control the events in their life events without a history of them students. At the same time in their cognitive models of the world was formed more than a high, but not beyond the normative values, the level of basic beliefs – in their own luck and luck, the value and significance of their own “I”, there is justice; students who recover from the virus COVID-19, more varied structure of his employment during the day, compared to without a history of them students. Conclusion. The data obtained empirically confirm the presence of differences between the student samples: students who have had the COVID-19 virus infection differ from their peers who have not had it, both by the peculiarities of the semantic sphere of the individual and by the peculiarities of structuring the time of their own life. In order to scientifically explain these identified differences, additional research is required with a large coverage of students.

diabetes mellitus, adherence to lifestyle modification, prevention of diabetes complications, patient education, quality of life, Agriculture, and Science

Introduction. Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common noncommunicable diseases worldwide. At the same time, the high prevalence of various risk factors for the development of diabetes mellitus is one of the reasons for the increase in the number of patients with diabetes in all countries of the world, a high level of disability and premature mortality of people of working age.
