Oilseeds and products of their processing, both for the individual and for the entire economy of the country, are of great importance. This is also due to the fact that in recent years there has been an increase in interest in the production of oilseeds due to the high demand for oilseeds and products of their processing on the world and Russian markets. Oil flax provides a high-quality technical oil used in the paint and varnish and leather and footwear industries for the production of paints, varnishes, putties, soaps, oilcloths, waterproof fabrics, linoleum and rubber substitutes. It is also used in metalworking, electrical engineering and other industries. Flax is an environmentally friendly culture. When cultivating it, a minimum amount of chemical protection and fertilizers is required. Flax crops free the earth from heavy metals and radionuclides. Flax seeds obtained from contaminated land do not even show any trace of radiation. In the last three years, a kind of oil flax boom has been observed in Russia. The high demand for products made from it makes it very profitable to grow, which explains the annual growth of the cultivated area.The article provides an economic substantiation of the project for organizing the cultivation of oil flax. With the help of technological maps, the costs of production are calculated.

In recent years there has been a virtual explosion in the world of art glass. New glass formulations have brought a host of new colors into the marketplace, and the availability of low-cost, high-quality torches and other tools has brought art glass to the hobbyist. In addition to burn risks and possible cutting injury, there are a number of less obvious hazards that should be known to novice glass workers. One of these is the presence of heavy metals in or on glass surfaces and possibly in the atmosphere immediately surrounding the work area, presenting both potential skin contact and inhalation hazards. This study examines the metallic surfaces generated on five glass colors commonly used in art glass jewelry.

Farmers are looking for new crops to grow to diversify their farms and increase profitability. Medicinal herbs are often of interest because they are generally perceived as being easy to grow, in high demand, return good prices, and serve as useful rotational crops. In reality, most farmers who have not previously grown medicinal herbs do not understand the global herb market. They do not know how to find a buyer or which herbs to grow. To help growers produce and market medicinal herbs, we initiated the Medicinal Herbs for Commerce Project. We also conducted studies on production problems for a variety of herbs. An issue that should be addressed is that there are hundreds of medicinal herbs in commerce and it is impossible for a small number of research programs to independently answer all the questions that are being asked by the industry. Developing a consortium of researchers around the world to coordinate efforts on how best to grow and process medicinal herbs and to create a database of information for farmers and agricultural advisors would be a great service for this industry.

Humans have developed strong emotional connections with horses throughout the centuries, and horses continue to occupy a special place among other livestock animals. For this reason, horses are reared industrially for slaughter only in some countries. Horse meat is characterized by a high content of protein of high biological value and low levels of fat with a desirable fatty acid profile. Aged horse meat has a long shelf life, and it is an attractive food and raw material for further processing. The high demand for high quality raw horse meat creates new opportunities for breeders, and it could become an alternative or supplementary source of income for traditional livestock farms.

Climate change is becoming increasingly unpredictable as the climate dries up, protected areas grown with vegetables are growing every day, but farmers in this area are facing a number of problems, including pests of green cucumber lice (Aphis gossypii), the common thrips. (Thrips tabaci), the common red spider (Tetranychus urticae). Scientists around the world are conducting studies to propose solutions. The use of material that allows the passage of a larger amount of UV rays inhibits the development of aphid colonies. The dual application of Lecanicillium longisporum for the simultaneous suppression of green lice of cucumbers and powdery mildew has been demonstrated. Beauveria bassiana preparations are highly effective against tripe. For a future assured with high quality vegetables, it is necessary to develop as diverse methods as possible to control pests, so that each farmer can choose the method that suits him, both technologically and economically. The methods should be applicable in the most diverse areas of the earth. We must learn to model not only favorable climatic conditions but to create a healthy and viable ecosystem, so the greenhouses will generate profit for the farmer, fresh and tasty products for us.

In the wake of the Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato sì which talks about the Earth as a common home of all people, the author offers a draft of ecological spirituality. The beginning of true eco-spirituality is ecological conversion, which is nothing else but a renewed consciousness that from our faith and encounter with Jesus Christ we also ought to change our relationship with the world around us. Ecological conversion should help the faithful to repeatedly and correctly develop their awareness of having been created, of their own immersion into the world of creatures with which they are interconnected. Correct ecological attitude leads to internal balance of the man himself, to solidarity with others, to natural balance of all living beings and to spiritual balance with God. Ecological awareness can help not only to preserve the environment, which is one of the basic goals, but also to change the way of behaviour, which can raise the quality of life of both the individual and the family. Ecological spirituality understands and lives the sacraments in a new way, as a means of salvation and sanctification, because in the sacraments God uses the visible matter in order to communicate his (invisible) grace. Eco-spirituality calls for upbringing and adopting new attitudes in the lives of contemporary Christians which need to help them to properly treat the created world.

This interview with the head of the World Health Organization’s Library Service took place in May 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The interview provides a snapshot of how COVID-19 has affected the library service in an organization which is at the centre of disseminating information and providing leadership during the pandemic. In the interview, various aspects of managing a library service during a pandemic are discussed, including: how the library copes with high demand; how they maintain a high-quality search and retrieval service; how they make use of partnerships; what are the emerging "lessons learned" for their service; and how they try to take care of their well-being.

Spirituality connotes praxis informed by religious or faith convictions. This can transform the individual and society at large. Christian spirituality is centered on how a person’s relationship with the God of Jesus Christ informs and directs one’s approach to existence and engagement with the world. The ecosystem concerns humanity and relationship with it is invariably influenced by faith or religious informed praxis. The reality of climate change is convincing many people that humankind’s common homeland needs to be treated with care and respect if created beings are to have a congenial habitat now and in the future. This article avers that Christian spirituality can contribute to eco-friendly behavior through re-formation of the behavior of people and emboldening their goodwill as regards the responsibility of all towards the care of the earth. Finally, this research proffers a three-fold model of eco-spirituality - scriptural, self-control, and sacramental approaches to the earth – as a contribution towards stemming the tide of ecological assaults on creation. Textual analysis is the method used in this research.

Nongovernmental organizations (NGOS) both lobby states and work within and across societies to advance their interests. These latter efforts are generally ignored by students of world politics because they do not directly involve governments. A study of transnational environmental activist groups (TEAGs) such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, and World Wildlife Fund demonstrates that NGO societal efforts indeed shape widespread behavior throughout the world. TEAGs work through transnational social, economic, and cultural networks to shift standards of good conduct, change corporate practices, and empower local communities. This type of practice involves “world civic politics.” That is, TEAGs influence widespread behavior by politicizing global civil society—that slice of collective life which exists above the individual and below the state yet across national boundaries. This article examines the activity of world civic politics as practiced by environmental activists and evaluates its relevance for the study of NGOs and world politics in general.

Purpose. To investigate the author’s transformations of ethnocultural archetype mother earth in the individual poetic styles of O. Dovzhenko and T. Osmachka.Methods. With this aim we used the comparative method, as well as the methods of partial search and of seme componential analysis.Results. The author of the article gives a comparative analysis of the associative connections and verbal means which give creative representation of the image of mother earth in the literary output of the two authors. It is noted that the both writers interpret archetype earth via the metaphor of earth as the mother.For O. Dovzhenko archetype earth is one of the primary archetypes of his poetic style. The earth gives new life, vivifies and re-creates the world so it is associated with a woman, a mother. With the aim of depicting archetypical characteristics of mother earth the writer uses such means of language as popular traditional descriptors (сира, рідна, українська), metaphors (рідні руїни, мертві подвір’я Києва), personification (матернє лоно, лице землі).The individual style of T. Osmachka transforms the archetype mother earth as the facts of life change: the motive of the Mother of God in the image of earth is characteristic for the early period of his writing. The article cites and analyses the examples of overlapping of archetype mother earth with the image of Mother of God and with the image of Ukraine.Also the article examines the image of earth in such metaphoric binaries as перса землі, душа землі, ребра землі, as well as poems “Mein Lieber” and “No” (from the “Racemes of Time” collection written in the emigration) which are emblematic of the transformations of image.Conclusions. The creative heritage of both authors is determined by similar ethnocultural archetypes the individual authorial transformations in which can be found in the texts created during different periods of time. The archetypal image of the mother earth is dominant in style of O. Dovzhenko and T. Osmachka. The author's realizations of the studied archetypal image, as a whole, are the main Ukrainian literary tradition and poetic model of the world. Мета ‒ дослідити авторські трансформації етнокультурного архетипу матір-земля в поетичних ідіостилях О. Довженка та Т. Осьмаки як елемент характеристики простору України, що формує у творах письменників мегаобраз країни, її національ-ну ментальність.Методи. Для аналізу застосовуються методи семно-компонентного аналізу, частково-пошуковий та порівняльний.Результати. Здійснено порівняльний аналіз асоціативних зв’язків та вербальних засобів, що художньо репрезентують образ матері-землі в літературних творах О. Довженка та Т. Осьмачки. Зазначається, що в обох митців розкриття архетипу земля відбувається через метафору материнства.Для О. Довженка архетип земля є одним із провідних архетипів його поетики. Образ матері-землі уособлює, насамперед, джерело наснаги, життєвої сили та мудрості, символізує найбільш надійний захист і підтримку. Для розкриття архетипових рис матері-землі письменник використовує народно-традиційні епітети (сира, рідна, українська), образні словосполучення (рідні руїни, мертві подвір’я Києва), прийом персоніфікації (матернє лоно, лице землі).В ідіостилі Т. Осьмачки архетип матір-земля трансформується зі зміною життєвих реалій. Виявлено, що для раннього періоду творчості письменниці характерний богородичний мотив. Наводяться та аналізуються приклади синтезу архетипу мати-земля, образу Богородиці та образу України. В образах, створених пізніше, провідною основою залишається лише архе-тип мати-земля. Досліджуються персоніфікація образу землі в таких бінармах, як перса землі, душа землі, ребра землі, а також показові щодо трансформації образу поезії «Майн лібер» та «Немає» (збірка «Китиці часу», написана в еміграції).Висновки. Доробок обох авторів детермінований однаковими етнокультурними архетипами, індивідуально автор-ські трансформації яких виявляємо в текстах різних періодів творчості. Архетиповий образ мати-земля є домінантним як в О. Довженка, так і в Т. Осьмачки. Авторські реалізації досліджуваного архетипового образу знаходяться в межах загальної української літературної традиції і поетичної моделі світу.

Abstract In the last 30 years we have increasingly, as humans, been individualised and set in competition with each other in the quest for ever increasing productivity. Neoliberalism has exacerbated those very liberal humanist features that feminist poststructuralist theory set out to dismantle with its critique of binary thought and the ascendance of white, male, elite, western consciousness. While transferring the responsibility for individual survival to the individual, away from the social, it weakened our responsibility, our response-ability, to each other and to the earth and our earth others. In this paper I tease my way, through stories, and through new materialist concepts, to a sense of self as emergent, as process rather than (id)entity, as response-able and responsible in the mattering of the world.
