Original approaches to enhancing the efficiency of production meetings are developed. Basic hypothesis and promising lines of research that can promote the efficiency of production meetings are reviewed. A number of Russian and foreign scientific journals mistakenly treat some types of operational meetings as brainstorming although some of the procedures contain no mechanisms inherent in brainstorming, which can thus lead to a confusion with their use. We propose to: 1) take into account the difficulties in identify ing the type of meeting procedure; 2) consider and use the existing procedures, techniques and methods for setting goals by the supervisor and their subsequent adjustment; 3) use the basic decision-making models for enterprises and organizations, i.e., select the most appropriate types of meetings proceeding from their advantages and shortcomings; 4) use the psychology of small groups and methods for stimulating small groups and teams. Avoid spontaneous selection of meeting and choose the best category of meeting proceeding from the advantages and disadvantages of this category of meeting among others. It is recommended to use three kinds of selection tasks in the context of group selection theory (selecting of the best or appropriate single object from the given set): selection of subsets in which all L selected best objects are supposed to be used without dropping out any of them, where L > 1; simultaneous selection of the subsets consisting of a different number of elementary alternatives in which it is supposed to use all the selected best objects without dropping out any of them, including the case when one object is selected and compared (elementary motion); application of the results of interrogative logic. It is necessary to objectify the process of searching for compromises (agreement of opinions) of the participants of the meeting, expressed in various non-verbal types of assessments, i.e., to use a discrete or statistical approach to aligning expert rankings of the participants of the meeting. The novelty of the work is expressed by the fact that for the first time an emphasis has been placed on those areas that are usually not associated with an increase in the efficiency of production meetings. Moreover, the scope of the concept of "meeting" has been narrowed, and a special class of production meetings has been identified and described.

The efficacy of vaccines against leptospiral disease can be determined objectively by challenge test in experimental animals. Selection of suitable leptospiral challenge strains and determination of an optimal challenge dose to prove exactly that the given vaccine Leptospira serotype induces protective immunity in vaccinated dogs is a critical point in performing challenge experiments. The aim of our study was to verify and determine an appropriate challenge dose for efficacy tests in dogs for the following Leptospira serovars: L. grippotyphosa, L. icterohaemorrhagiae and L. canicola. The appropriate challenge dose was determined on the basis of pathognomonic symptoms of infection, Leptospira capture at cultivation and pathological changes in dogs infected experimentally with various doses (5 × 104 - 5 × 108) of Leptospira serovars. A dose of 5 × 106 of each respective serovar administered intraperitoneally was determined to be a suitable challenge dose. The dogs infected with the selected dose showed the typical symptoms of the disease and met the requirements of an objective and standard evaluation of the vaccine efficacy according to the pharmacopoeial monograph. A study of such extent was done for the first time in the Czech Republic.

Background. The problem of forecasting nonlinear nonstationary processes presented in the form of time series is very relevant, since such series can describe dynamics of the processes in both technical and economic systems. To establish the best model, various metrics are used to assess the quality of forecasts, such as R^2, RMSE, MAE, MAPE. However, in many tasks, when optimizing the model according to the selected criterion, the model becomes worse in relation to another criterion. Therefore it is important to understand which metric must be used to optimize and assess the quality of the forecast in the given task. Objective. The aim of the paper is to develop a criteria base for assessing forecasts of nonlinear nonstationary processes, as well as an approach to choosing a metric in accordance to the specificity of the set forecasting problem. Methods. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the basic metrics for the regression problem, their theoretical and practical meaning, advantages and disadvantages in various cases. New approaches are proposed based on the results of the analysis. Results. Based on the analysis of the selected data, it is shown that by optimizing the model according to the selected criterion, the model becomes worse in relation to another criterion. A criterion basis for assessing forecasts of nonlinear nonstationary processes has been formed, as well as an approach to the selection of a quality criterion in accordance with the specifics of the set forecasting problem. To minimize an absolute error, the RMSE (MSE, R^2) and MAE metrics are analysed and recommended, depending on the need to work with outliers. The RMSLE metric is proposed for solving the problems of minimizing the relative metric, for solving the shown problems of the MAPE metric for this class of problems.  Conclusions. The paper shows the importance of choosing a metric that must be used to optimize and assess the quality of the forecasts in the given task. The obtained criterion base and approach can be used in further research to solve practical prob- lems in modelling and forecasting nonlinear nonstationary processes and to develop new methods or general method for solving such problems.

When choosing equipment for working out a coal-bearing zone of a quarry field, one of the most important factors is the use of excavator equipment available at the enterprise. From previously published works, the main advantages and disadvantages of the most common types of excavators (rope shovel and backhoe) are known. In this article, the authors propose an organizational scheme for the development of a coal-bearing zone using both types of excavators. A technological scheme of the development of a coal-bearing and a coalless zone of a quarry field by the complexes of these excavators is given. The advantages of the given scheme of mining are determined.

The main goal of the paper is based on the analysis to define the criteria for selecting an aircraft suitable for PPL training. We achieved the main goal by meeting two sub-goals. The first sub-objective is the analysis of training organizations in Slovakia, on the basis of which we have selected entities for the second sub-objective thus the analysis of selected aircrafts suitable for PPL training. In this work we analyze three, most used training aircrafts for PPL training in Slovakia. We analyze selected aircrafts in terms of three main parts, which include, analysis of technical parameters, analysis of flight characteristics and analysis of operating parameters. Based on the given analyzes, we obtained an evaluation of the characteristics of selected aircrafts, their individual advantages and disadvantages. Other results of the work include the evaluation of criteria that are suitable for aircrafts designed for PPL training. This work can be applied in practice, especially when deciding on the selection of a training aircraft for a student or training organization.

The study investigates the rule of spelling the root -ravn-/-rovn- and is considered to be a fragment of the academic description of Russian spelling, which is currently being under investigation at the Russian Language Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The authors clarify the meanings that determine the spelling of the unstressed root, supplement the lists of exceptions, denote words with meanings not corresponding to the given values-criteria, and, for the first time in linguistics, investigate the words that can be correlated with different values-criteria, that is, they have double motivation. The rule codifies the spelling of words that have double motivation and fluctuate in usus, dictionaries, study guides and reference books. Spelling recommendations for these words correspond to the current linguistic norm and were approved by the Spelling Commission of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2019. The linguistic commentary to the rule contains the most significant etymological facts concerning the root -ravn-/-rovn- and summarises the scientific and methodological attempts to figure out the distribution of vocabulary with root -ravn-/-rovn- based on the meanings selected in the spelling rules. In the paper it is shown that the instability in spelling of various verbs with the root -ravn-/-rovn- in modern writing and dictionaries is determined by the double motivation of words, as well as contradictory recommendations and gaps in the rules.

The article considers the competition of verbal aspects from a new perspective. Instead of employing the traditional method of demonstrating this phenomenon — an empirical replacement of the aspect of a verb in a phrase with the opposite — the author examines Dostoevsky’s choice between the variants found in different manuscripts of the same text. For the first time, based on a two-component theory of the semantic invariant of a verb type, the aspectual meaning of the selection of a verb aspect is revealed and, as a result of contextual analysis, an artistic interpretation of the selected type is proposed.

We studied for the first time luminescence characteristics of the some micromycetes, isolated from the bottom sediments of the Black sea from the 27 m depth. Luminescence parameters were registered at laboratory complex “Svet” using mechanical and chemical stimulations. Fungi cultures of genera Acremonium, Aspergillus, Penicillium were isolated on ChDA medium which served as control. Culture of Penicillium commune gave no light emission with any kind of stimulation. Culture of Acremonium sp. has shown luminescence in the blue – green field of spectrum. Using chemical stimulation by fresh water we registered signals with luminescence energy (to 3.24 ± 0.11)•108 quantum•cm2 and duration up to 4.42 s, which 3 times exceeded analogous magnitudes in a group, stimulated by sea water (p < 0.05). Under chemical stimulation by ethyl alcohol fungi culture luminescence was not observed. Culture of Aspergillus fumigatus possessed the most expressed properties of luminescence. Stimulation by fresh water culture emission with energy of (3.35 ± 0.11)•108 quantum•cm2 and duration up to 4.96 s. Action of ethyl alcohol to culture also stimulated signals, but intensity of light emission was 3–4 times lower than under mechanical stimulation. For sure the given studies will permit not only to evaluate contribution of marine fungi into general bioluminescence of the sea, but as well to determine places of accumulation of opportunistic species in the sea.

The results of the study of the duration of the juvenile period of indigenous Chechen willow leaf pear genotypes (Pyrus salicifolia Pall.) are given in connection with the acceleration of the breeding process and the use of selected forms in pear breeding for high precocity. The studies were carried out in 2016-2019 at OOO “Orchards of Chechnya” in accordance with the Agreement on creative cooperation with the Russian Research Institute of Fruit Crop Breeding. The work was carried out in accordance with generally accepted programs and methods. The objects of the study were one-year and two-year-old pear seedlings obtained from sowing seeds of selected dwarf and low-growing local Chechen forms of willow pear (P. salicifolia Pall.), laying fruit buds on annual growths and seedlings of Caucasian pear (P. caucasica Fed.), 20 500 pcs. of each specie. The aim of the research was to study the potential of precocity of willow pear seedlings and to reveal of selected forms with the greatest degree of this trait. Stratified seeds were sown in the sowing department of the OOO “Orchards of Chechnya” production nursery in April, 2017. The seedlings were grown according to the common technology in dryland conditions on the plot with chestnut soil. The first fl owering of plants was noted in the spring, 2019. As a result of the research, for the first time on a large number of the experimental material it was found that in the off spring of the indigenous Chechen willow leaf pear genotypes, the selection of a little more than 2% of seedlings with a very short juvenile period (2 years) was possible. They are of great interest in accelerating the breeding process and in the selection of new pear varieties with high precocity. 20 willow leaf pear genotypes were selected for the further use in breeding for high precocity and as sources of the trait of short juvenile period.

Basic scattering functions were used in a novel calculation of the turbidity ratios for particles having the relative refractive index m = 1.001, 1.005 (0.005) 1.315 and the size α = 0.05 (0.05) 6.00 (0.10) 15.00 (0.50) 70.00 (1.00) 100, where α = πL/λ, L is the diameter of the spherical particle, λ = Λ/μ1 is the wavelength of light in a medium with the refractive index μ1 and Λ is the wavelength of light in vacuo. The data are tabulated for the wavelength λ = 546.1/μw = 409.357 nm, where μw is the refractive index of water. A procedure has been suggested how to extend the applicability of Tables to various refractive indices of the medium and to various turbidity ratios τa/τb obtained with the individual pairs of wavelengths λa and λb. The selection of these pairs is bound to the sequence condition λa = λ0χa and λb = λ0χb, in which b-a = δ = 1, 2, 3; a = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ..., b = a + δ = -1, 0, 1, 2, ...; λ0 = λa=0 = 326.675 nm; χ = 546.1 : 435.8 = 1.2531 is the quotient of the given sequence.
