New measurement technologies are facilitating new approaches to the improvement of safety and quality in agri-food supply chains. However, measurement uncertainty and choice of sampling strategy can influence the outcomes of assessment programmes. This chapter provides a sampler of calculations of population statistics, required sample sizes and approaches to developing and implementing a sampling strategy. While examples from the fresh produce sector are given, the sampler is of relevance to both the student and the practitioner operating in agri-supply chains more generally.

Parameters of health, productivity, behaviour and physiology which are used in order to determine the stress shaped by the effects of various factors in poultries can only be detected when the effects of stress emerge; in other words, when the changes are shaped. Therefore; it is important to interfere before the emergence of these indications in order to develop animal welfare by preventing stress. Information programmes, as traditional methods, and vitamin applications as well as anti-stress effects of herbal extracts have recently been studied in order to reduce the effects of stress. Moreover; such applications as crossbreeding native race, which are highly tolerated against temperature stress, with the commercial ones, usage of blue LED light, capturing exercises, enriched environment, adding roosters into the flocks of hen and finally temperature exercises in chick period are also tried as anti-stress preventions. In this paper, new approaches to the reduction of stress or stress sensitivity in poultries have been studied.

The aim: To determine whether the pig could be used as biomodel for study and reconstruction of rectal pathology for development the new approaches for prevention and treatment of rectal diseases. Materials and methods: For the research the rectum of 8 vietnamese pot-bellied pigs were used. Via macro- and microscopy the structure of mucosa coat of the pig`s and human`s rectum was compared. Results: Mucosa coat`s peculiarities of pig`s and human`s rectum in comparative aspect are described in this article. With the help of traditional methods, known as macroscopy the structure of the pig`s rectal mucosa was study and compared wih macrostructure of human`s rectum. The microstucture of pig`s rectal mucosa was study due to histological method too. The macro- and microscopy demonstrated that structure of pig`s and human`s rectal mucosa are similar and includes same structural components. Conclusions: Thus, the research proved that pigs can be used as biomodels in biomedical research for creating various new methods and applications in approaching the prevention and treatment of rectal pathology in humans.

In a time of the digital economy and society formation, the issue of reviewing the forms and methods of teaching in higher educational institutions has become relevant, since the traditional methods are not able to ensure the acquisition of the competencies, necessary for working under the new management conditions. The most immediate problems have been determined and the number of areas for transforming teaching approaches have been offered.These approaches are capable of giving an impetus to the development of national education integrated with the world educational space. Keywords: digital economy and society, educational process, educational institutions, digital services, transformation of approaches, clustering, competencies, development.

In modern conditions the role of innovation as a leading tool for ensuring the competitiveness of the enterprise and its products is constantly growing. Enterprises are looking for new ways to ensure economic security in the market, so it was decided to consider and describe the role of innovative marketing strategy in the management of an enterprise engaged in innovative activities. Innovation marketing contributes to the identification of the real, future and new market opportunities and research into customer needs. Properly constructed scheme for concept of innovative marketing implementation in the enterprise and it execute allows the company to rise to a higher level, especially in a market where innovation can be a commodity. The role and place of marketing in the innovation sphere is analyzed in the article. Peculiarities of using the marketing approach to innovative activity of enterprises are revealed. The marketing of innovations complex is considered and described. The main stages of its introduction are given. In constantly changing economic conditions, the use of traditional methods does not always give decisive advantages to enterprises. That is why it is necessary to try new approaches and apply innovation marketing to reasonable reorganization. This is the relevance of this paper.

Рассмотрены новые подходы к построению высокоэффективных параллельных алгоритмов для численного решения краевых задач. В качестве базового алгоритма выбрана универсальная многосеточная технология - односеточный вариант метода Зейделя, позволяющий решать широкий класс прикладных задач с вычислительными затратами, близкими к оптимальным. Исследованы два подхода к распараллеливанию вычислений, основанные на комбинированном и чисто геометрическом построении предобусловливателя. Показаны преимущества данных подходов по сравнению с традиционными методами построения параллельных алгоритмов и получены оценки эффективности параллелизма. New approaches to the development of highly efficient parallel algorithms for numerical solution of boundary value problems are considered. The previously proposed robust multigrid technique (a single grid version of the Seidel method for solving a large class of applied problems with close-to-optimal computational efforts) is taken as a basic algorithm. Two approaches for the parallelization of computations based on combined and purely geometric preconditioning are studied. Advantages of these approaches compared to traditional methods of constructing parallel algorithms are shown. Several estimates for the parallelism efficiency are proposed.

This chapter explores the literature on social entrepreneurship and civil society in South Africa, with a brief look on the country context and the need to fast track socio-economic change. It presents weaknesses in the current ability of civil society to function well and argues that social entrepreneurship offers opportunity to strengthen traditional methods of delivering social value, whilst introducing new approaches. The chapter provides brief insights on where social entrepreneurs require greater support to be effective and looks at where there are quick wins to enable them to thrive.

Abstract Determining the optimal number of topics to retain in the conduct of topic modeling (TM) has received much attention over the last decade. Despite this work, issues remain regarding the best methods to use for making such determinations. Approaches involving the use of relatively simple statistics, most notably perplexity, have proven to be somewhat inconsistent. Recently, researchers have suggested the use of change in perplexity scores as a useful heuristic for determining the optimal number of topics to retain. The current study builds on this earlier work by assessing the utility of several methods borrowed from factor analysis and applied to statistics commonly used in topic modeling, including perplexity and Alpha. These new approaches are applied to several textual datasets and compared with more traditional methods for determining the number of topics to retain. Results of these analyses demonstrate that application of these methods borrowed from factor analysis does appear to be effective for identifying the number of topics to retain.

Abstract In challenging the assumption of autistic social uninterest, Jaswal & Akhtar have opened the door to scrutinizing similar unexamined assumptions embedded in other literatures, such as those on children's typically developing behaviors regarding others’ minds and morals. Extending skeptical analysis to other areas may reveal new approaches for evaluating competing claims regarding social interest in autistic individuals.
