AbstractThe article examines agro-technical requirements of machine implements with disk working bodies and is aimed to investigate the existing and alternative methods of depth regulation during soil tillage by the mentioned implements. We defined the machines performance indicators significantly affecting the plant potential release not considered previously. The study results were obtained via the soil tilling depth regulation by the disking speed, the change of an incidence angle of the working batteries, and by the use of the additional load mounted on the machine frame. The article presents a two-year research results obtained in 40 different land plots of the Sumy region (Ukraine) using domestic and imported machines, with wheat and buckwheat as crops. To ensure the study accuracy, the methodology was based on the CND 46.16.02.-96. Agricultural Machinery. Quality Indicators Nomenclature (Catalogue of Normative Documents, published in 1997). The research results demonstrate that the tilling depth depends on the manufacturing plant default settings, the speed regime, and the machine load. For the experimental data analysis, the Least Squares Means method was used. The research presents alternative methods of changing the tilling depth applicable for any machine aggregates with disk working bodies, and its results can serve the agricultural machinery designers.

The aim of the research is to improve soil tillage quality using combined working bodies in surface cultivation. There are various designs of combined tillage units including passive cultivators and active rotor-tooth working bodies cultivating land. However, an analysis of design and technological parameters of modern cultivators shows that they have a cumbersome design, required much metal and their quality indicators do not meet soil cultivation requirements. The article presents results of the studies on the influence of geometric and technological parameters of an additional battery of needle discs on land tillage quality. Using the research results, the land tillage has been improved and combined working bodies have been developed.

The development of energy and resource-saving methods and technologies for strengthening and restoring the working bodies of agricultural machinery will increase their abrasive wear resistance and durability by using materials from machine-building waste and reduce the cost by 10-30 percent without reducing operational characteristics. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in increasing the abrasive wear resistance and durability of cultivator legs by surfacing powder materials obtained by electroerosive dispersion from solid alloy waste by high-frequency currents. (Materials and methods) Authors obtained a powder for research on their own experimental installations of the CCP "Nano-Center" of electroerosive dispersion from waste of sintered hard alloys of the T15K6 brand. The microhardness of powders and coatings on microshifts was measured using the PMT-3 device, and the hardness of coatings with the KMT-1 microhardometer was measured using the Rockwell method according to GOST 9013-59. The microwave-40AV installation was used to assess the wear resistance of materials of working bodies of tillage machines. (Results and discussion) In the course of laboratory wear tests the relative wear resistance of samples hardened by high-frequency surfacing currents significantly exceeds the wear resistance of non-hardened samples made OF 65g steel, accepted as the reference standard. (Conclusions) Based on the results of experimental studies, the article proposes a new resource-saving technological process for strengthening the working bodies of agricultural machinery through the use of materials from machine-building waste, which allows increasing the abrasive wear resistance of working bodies by 1.5-2 times due to the use of tungsten-containing materials.

An experiment was laid down in a screen house to determine the distribution of weed seeds at different soil depths and periods of cultivation of sugarcane in Ilorin, Nigeria. Soil samples from different depth levels (0-10 cm, 11-20 cm and 21-30 cm) were collected after harvesting of canes from three different land use fields (continuous sugarcane cultivation for > 20 years, continuous sugarcane cultivation for < 10 years after long fallow period and continuous sugarcane cultivation for < 5 years after long fallow period) in November, 2012. One kilogram of the sieved composite soil samples was arranged in the screen house and watered at alternate days. Germinating weed seedlings were identified, counted and then pulled out for the period of 8 months. Land use and soil depth had a highly significant (p £ 0.05) effect on the total number of weeds that emerged from the soil samples. The 010 cm of the soil depth had the highest weed seedlings that emerged. There was an equal weed seed distribution at the 11-20 cm and 21-30 cm depths of the soil. Sugarcane fields which have been continuously cultivated for a long period of time with highly disturbing soil tillage practices tend to have larger seed banks in deeper soil layers (11-20 cm and 21-30 cm) while recently opened fields had significantly larger seed banks at the 0-10 cm soil sampling depth.

Textile Products

Due to their properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in consumer products. The widespread use of these products leads to the release of such nanoparticles into the environment, during manufacturing, use, and disposal stages. Currently there is a high margin of uncertainty about the impacts of nano products on the environment and human health. Therefore, different approaches including life cycle assessment (LCA) are being used to evaluate the environmental and health impacts of these products. In this paper, a comparison between four different AgNP synthesis methods was conducted. In addition, four textile products that contain AgNPs were subjected to comparison using LCA analysis to assess their environmental and public health impacts using SimaPro modeling platform. Study results indicate that using alternative methods (green) to AgNPs synthesis will not necessarily reduce the environmental impacts of the synthesizing process. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that has compared and assessed the environmental burdens associated with different nanosilver-based textile products at different disposal scenarios. The synthesis of 1 kg of AgNPs using modified Tollens’ method resulted in 580 kg CO2 eq, while 531 kg CO2 eq resulted from the chemical approach. Furthermore, the manufacturing stage had the highest overall impacts as compared to other processes during the life cycle of the product, while the product utilization and disposal stages had the highest impacts on ecotoxicity. Sensitivity analysis revealed that under the two disposal scenarios of incineration and landfilling, the impacts were sensitive to the amount of AgNPs.

Quantification of soil organic carbon cycling as impacted by soil and crop man- agement practices is required for C storage and soil quality improvement investi- gations. This study assessed the short-term effect of conventional tillage (CT) and No-Tillage (NT) practices on SOC sequestration and yield of cocoyam (Colocasia esculenta). The experiment was conducted simultaneously at two lo- cations (06◦52' N, 07◦15' E and 06◦ 26' N; 07◦16' E) in southeast Nigeria. A Ran- domized Complete Block Design with five replications and four treatments com- prised of CT and NT, respectively, with 150 and 300 Kg ha-1 of NPK 15:15:15, was used. Soil quality attributes were measured at two soil depths (0-20 cm and 20-40 cm) in both locations and analyzed. The results indicated that the quantity of carbon sequestered in the soil at 0-20 cm soil depth for both sites was 46.7- 90.9 and 65.0-117.9 Mg ha-1, respectively, for the two planting seasons in NT plots treated with 300 Kg ha-1 of NPK. This was followed by NT plots treated with 150 Kg ha-1 of NPK, which sequestered 55.5-86.2 and 46.7-91.9 Mg ha-1 SOC. CT plots that received 300 Kg ha-1 NPK with 11.3-47.6 Mg/ha SOC had 44% and 28% lower stored SOC when compared to NT, NPK 150 Kg ha-1 plots for the two-planting season respectively. This indicates that CT practices signifi- cantly limit SOC sequestration. CT with 300 Kg of NPK 15:15:15 gave the high- est corm yield, followed by No-till with 300 Kg ha-1. A better edaphic condition provided by CT was compensated for by higher doses of N fertilizer in NT Plots.

RESUMOObjetivos: a rotulagem é um aspecto de qualidade fundamental no uso de medicamentos, seja pelo profissional de saúde, seja pelo paciente. Este trabalho propôs uma análise crítica do tema com base na legislação em vigor, bem como a triagem de documentos normativos úteis no processo de elaboração ou de avaliação da conformidade da rotulagem de medicamentos. Métodos: foi realizada uma pesquisa documental empregando-se como fonte de informações os sítios eletrônicos oficiais do Ministério da Saúde e da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária. Os documentos contendo itens pertinentes a rotulagem de medicamentos e classificados como vigentes ou vigentes com alteração foram selecionados para a realização do estudo. Resultados: os quesitos mais relevantes das disposições gerais e das disposições específicas da norma vigente para rotulagem de medicamentos foram sistematizados, verificando-se suas contribuições na qualidade e segurança de produtos. Embora a padronização da rotulagem de medicamentos seja necessária, a ocorrência de elevados graus de semelhança entre rótulos, embalagens ou mesmo nomenclaturas é discutida no âmbito da prática clínica e esta questão merece atenção especial. A busca de material complementar à legislação vigente resultou no levantamento de um total de 20 documentos, incluindo normas, guias, bancos de consulta e planilhas, que podem auxiliar no cumprimento dos requisitos de rotulagem de medicamentos. Conclusão: rótulos de medicamentos são recursos técnicos que contribuem na eficácia e na segurança do tratamento. Os esforços das Agências Reguladoras têm permitido a consolidação de diretrizes legais para que informações e formatos adequados de rotulagem sejam aplicados nas embalagens de medicamentos industrializados. A elaboração ou a análise da rotulagem de medicamentos requer amplo conhecimento regulatório, o qual é dinâmico e, portanto, um grande desafio.Palavras-chave: Rotulagem de Medicamentos.

This work proposed a critical analysis of the current legislation on the labeling of drug products, as well as the screening of normative documents useful for the process of preparing or assessing the conformity of labels. Methods: a documentary research was carried out using the official websites of the Ministry of Health and the National Health Surveillance Agency (Brazil) as sources of information. The documents containing relevant items on labeling of drug products and classified as current or current with changes were selected for the study. Results: the most important requirements of the general and specific provisions from the current legislation have been systematized, and their contributions to the quality and safety of products have been verified. Although the standardization of the labeling is necessary, the occurrence of high degrees of similarity between labels, packaging or even nomenclatures is discussed in the context of clinical practice and this issue deserves special attention. The search for material complementary to the current legislation resulted in the collection of a total of 20 documents, including normative documents, guides, databases and spreadsheets, which might help in complying with the requirements for the labeling of drug products. Conclusion: the labeling of drug products are technical resources that contribute to the effectiveness and safety of treatment. The efforts of the Regulatory Agencies have allowed the consolidation of legal provisions for the dissemination of appropriate information and labeling formats in the packaging of drug products. The drafting or analysis of the labels requires extensive regulatory knowledge, which is dynamic and, therefore, a great challenge.Keywords: Drug Labeling. Legislation, Drug. Product Surveillance, Postmarketing. Patient Safety.
