Material is presented on the formation and development of agricultural engineering in Russia in the 19th - early 20th centuries. The research materials were archival funds, Internet resources, historical works, and literature. The prerequisites and features of the emergence of agricultural machine-building enterprises, namely repair shops and factories, against the background of social changes are examined. The information on the creation and development of Russia’s fi rst agricultural machine-building plants is given and analyzed. Prior to the abolition of serfdom, 60% of enterprises manufacturing agricultural tools belonged to artisanal workshops, and 10% – to small factories. This volume accounted for less than 50% of the market needs, the rest of the equipment necessary for agriculture was supplied by foreign plants. By 1880, the number of domestic enterprises increased to 340. In 1913, agricultural machinery production already accounted for 20.5% of the total volume of Russian mechanical engineering. The largest agricultural engineering plants were located in the south and in the central part of Russia. In 1913, the share of southern plants amounted to 53%, the share of the plants of central provinces – 20.5% of the total output (by value). In other regions, artisanal production of equipment and machinery of simple designs prevailed. After World War I, agricultural machinery production declined to 8% from the 1913 level. Enterprises created in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries became the basis of agricultural engineering in Russia. The following features of the Russian agricultural machine-building industry are noted: small-scale production, limited nomenclature, manufacture of tools of simple designs, focus on the local market, lack of export, dependence of production volumes on the yield, lack of narrow specialization of enterprises, seasonal character of production.

The paper considers the possibility of using unified dry mixes for machine-building enterprises with small-scale and single-piece production of castings. Dry mixes for production of expendable molds and rods have been developed. Their distinctive feature is that cladded CMC high-silica sand is used as a filler, and powder-like LST are used as a binder. All the ingredients of the mix are products of domestic and Russian production, are not scarce, are not expensive in price, are simple and safe to use. Experimental-industrial tests of the proposed dry mixes were carried out, and a pilot batch of castings was produced in the amount of 5 tons of good casting (small shaped cast-iron casting). Taking into account the specificity of the foundries at enterprises with single-piece and small-scale production, the features of their technical equipment, an engineering solution, focused directly on this segment, has been developed and proposed. The engineering solution relates to the manufacturing processes of casting molds and rods production, and consists in the development of formulations for dry foundry mixes. A distinctive feature of the formulations is: simplicity in use, versatility in functionality, reliance on the domestic resource base, which means that it is affordable, not expensive, and environmentally friendly, safe both for production personnel and for the environment, in the area where the industrial enterprise is located.

Under the conditions of strengthening competition for each enterprise, preserving and increasing the competitiveness of production is an integral and necessary attribute of the successful modern company. It is proved that the determining condition for the success of management decisions to strengthen products' competitive position in the markets is an objective and timely quantitative assessment of the competitiveness of products. It is determined that the quantitative assessment of the complex indicator of the level of product competitiveness should be carried out on the basis of the integrated indicator of product competitiveness. The analysis of the level of competitiveness of agricultural machinery products is carried out on the example of sprayers. The investigation is carried out on the example of products of one of the largest agricultural machinery enterprises in Ukraine, JSC «Elvorti». According to the results of calculations of the sprayers competitiveness, the conclusion about the competitiveness of the presented model of Tetis 24 sprayer (JSC «Ellvorti») in comparison with analogs: sprayers UX5200 Amazone (Germany), 840 John Deere (USA) 3000 Hardi Navigator (Denmark) and OPK-24 (PJSC «Boguslav Agricultural Machinery») on a certain segment is made. The carried out analysis showed that Tetis 24 sprayer is not competitive with Amazone and John Deere sprayers. At the same time, it is less advantageous to compare the competitiveness of the domestic sprayer with the American model. Compared with sprayers manufactured by PJSC Boguslavska Silhosptekhnika and Hardi Navigator, the sprayer manufactured by JSC Elvorti is competitive. The obtained result can be explained by the low level of solvency of consumers of a certain segment, who have relatively low requirements for quality, service, and marketing promotion of the sprayer. The analysis results make it possible for domestic manufacturers to carry out controlled process of managing the level of products competitiveness depending on the characteristics of its implementation in the market. Increasing the level of product competitiveness will ensure optimal and efficient use of available resources of the enterprise, will allow the most effective planning of marketing activities to enter new markets, increase service, due to the complete meeting the consumers demands.

Cassava is an important starchy root crop grown globally in tropical and subtropical regions. The ability of cassava to withstand difficult growing conditions and long-term storability underground makes it a resilient crop, contributing to food security. Historically, small-scale farmers have grown cassava as a minor crop in the far north-eastern part of the country. However, there is an initiative to scale up cassava production, with two discrete areas of interest: large-scale production for industrial starch, and expanding its footprint as a food security crop for small-scale farmers, especially in the context of climate change. In this scoping study, production, processing and marketing data for cassava were accessed from the FAO and US Commercial trade databases. Other domestic market and demand analysis case studies were also explored. There is no cassava data available for South Africa. The study indicated that South Africa imports more than 66,000 tons of starch annually, of which 33% is cassava starch, showing the availability of a local market. The potential of cassava for the South African economy is discussed. Significant industrial opportunities exist for the production and use of cassava in South Africa. However, the realization of these opportunities will depend on the reliable supply of good quality cassava roots. However, the lack of a well-established cassava research program, and a lack of an existing value chain for the industrial scale cassava production and processing are barriers to the development of cassava industry in South Africa. As the initial step to the development of a successful cassava industry, high potential germplasm is imported, characterized and bred for local conditions to ensure the sustainable primary production of cassava. Subsequently, industrial value chains will need to be developed as the optimization of the breeding and agronomy of the crop are completed, and yield potentials are quantified in the different regions of the country.

<p>Small scale agriculture is still the predominant characteristic of the Ladakh. It still has a great role in the economy. The region produces barley, wheat, vegetables and also involved in rearing livestock. The farming systems are unique and adapted to the harsh environmental conditions of Ladakh. Currently, the largest commercial agricultural produce is vegetable, which is sold in large quantity to defence establishments and as well as in the local market. It was recorded that production remains mainly in the hands of small land owners. In all the surveyed villages, majority of area (75%) is under vegetable crops as compared to cereals such as wheat and barley (25%). Efforts/ energy (unit in each case= value X 105 k cal/ha/year) being put to grow vegetables are significantly higher than the total output and the situation is just reverse in case of cereals. Survey revealed the need of small scale interventions including scientific weed management. From total energy point of view, staple crop production was found to be energy efficient. Even though subsistence-oriented production remains the economic mainstay, livelihood strategies have diversified in the light of growing geostrategic relevance and significant socio-economic changes.</p>

The Impact

The purpose of the article is to study the impact of effective management of financial resources of agricultural machinery enterprises on the optimization of the use of enterprise resources to increase their competitiveness. Research methodology – in the process of research both general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, concretization, classification) and special ones are used: system-structural and comparative researches, statistical-economic analysis. The scientific novelty lies in the substantiation of the importance of applying the system method to the management of financial resources of enterprises in this industry, which will increase the competitiveness of enterprises in domestic and foreign markets. The article considers the basics of financial resources management of agricultural machinery enterprises, identifies the stages of financial resources management. Difficult economic and political events in recent years have not escaped the field of agricultural engineering. Not only the business conditions of enterprises have changed, but also their number has decreased– the least competitive enterprises could not resist the influence of crisis factors and were forced to cease their activities, but such dynamics significantly limits Ukraine’s production potential and requires change due to active investment of inefficient enterprises. Conclusions. According to the results of the study, it is concluded that agricultural machinery under conditions of stable competition with the possibility of timely adaptation to changing market conditions, using the efficiency of financial resources management, is able to obtain strategic production stability and profitable sales. Rational organization and effective management of financial resources of an agricultural enterprise will have an impact on the financial and economic condition and competitive positions in the domestic and foreign markets of the enterprise during the management. Key words: financial resources, competitive enterprise, management, management system, agricultural engineering.

Оценка и анализ производственно-технологических работ судостроительных предприятий обусловлен необходимостью обеспечения конкурентоспособности вновь создаваемых объектов морской техники с показателями качества на уровне лучших мировых образцов с одновременным повышением темпов технико-экономического развития их производства. Названная проблема диктует необходимость адекватной оценки состояния технического оснащения производства, а также наиболее эффективных направлений вложения средств на техническое перевооружение. Техническое оснащение производства во многом зависит от уровня автоматизации, механизации технологических процессов, объёмов ручных работ, конструктивно-технологических особенностей создаваемых объектов морской техники, серийности производства и т.д. Для судостроения, судового машиностроения с учётом единичного и мелкосерийного производства характерна высокая доля ручного труда, особенно при выполнении механомонтажных работ. В статье предложен принципиально новый подход к оценке производственно-технологических работ (уровней технического оснащения производства) судостроительных предприятий. Приведены результаты расчётов и оценки на примере переделов (видов работ) механомонтажного производства для группы отечественных судостроительных предприятий. Предложенный метод оценки производственно-технологических работ (потенциалов) универсален для любых видов судостроительных и машиностроительных работ. Evaluation and analysis of production and technological works of shipbuilding enterprises is conditioned by the need to ensure the competitiveness of newly created marine equipment facilities with quality indicators at the level of the world's best samples, while increasing the pace of technical and economic development of their production. This problem dictates the need for an adequate assessment of the state of technical equipment of production, as well as the most effective ways of investing funds for technical re-equipment. The technical equipment of production largely depends on the level of automation, mechanization of technological processes, the volume of manual work, the design and technological features of the created objects of marine equipment, serial production, etc. For shipbuilding, marine engineering, taking into account single and small-scale production, a high proportion of manual labor is characteristic, especially when performing mechanical installation work. The article proposes a fundamentally new approach to the assessment of production and technological works (levels of technical equipment of production) of shipbuilding enterprises. The results of calculations and estimates on the example of repartitions (types of work) are given mechanical assembly production for a group of domestic shipbuilding enterprises. The proposed method of evaluation of production and technological works (potentials) is universal for all types of shipbuilding and machine-building works.

Role Of The State

In Vietnam, the construction of hydropower projects has contributed significantly in the cause of industrialization and modernization of the country. The place where hydropower projects are built is mostly inhabited by ethnic minorities - communities that rely primarily on land, a very important source of livelihood security. In the context of the lack of common productive land in resettlement areas, the orientation for agricultural production is to promote indigenous knowledge combined with increasing scientific and technical application; shifting from small-scale production practices to large-scale commodity production. However, the research results of this article show that many obstacles in the transition process are being posed such as limitations on natural resources, traditional production thinking or the suitability and effectiveness of scientific - technical application models. When agricultural production does not ensure food security, a number of implications for people’s lives are increasingly evident, such as poverty, preserving cultural identity, social relations and resource protection. Since then, it has set the role of the State in researching and building appropriate agricultural production models to exploit local strengths and ensure sustainability.

The prevention of Diabetic Mellitus (DM) and its complications is the main aim of this study, in addition to the training of lotion foot care application and the development of small scale industry. The research team delivered knowledge in the form of training on Diabetic Mellitus, healthy food, treatment and prevention of complications, and small-scale production of cosmetic products. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between training on diabetic and lotion foot care application as preventive measures against diabetic complications on the patient's blood glucose levels in the community of residents in Banyuurip Jaya, Surabaya. It was expected from this training that the knowledge of the residents increases and people living with diabetic undergo lifestyle changes and therefore blood sugar levels can be controlled. The parameters measured in this research were blood glucose levels, the anti diabetic drug types consumed, and compliance on diabetics. This study used the data taken from 60 patients with DM over a period of one month. Questionnaires and log books was used to retrieve data and changes in blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. The results showed the demographic data of patients with type 2 diabetic of 85% female and 15% male, with the range of patients aged of 61-70 years of 46.67% and had history of diabetic (90%). The history of drugs consumed by respondents was anti diabetic drugs such as metformin (40%), glimepiride (33.37%) and insulin (6.67%). In addition, the increased knowledge of DM patients after being given the training compared to before training was shown in several questions in the questionnaire. A statistical analysis using t-test analyzed a correlation between training provided in order to enhance understanding of the patient, as well as correlation with blood glucose levels. A paired T-test showed that there was a relationship between the knowledge of trainees before and after training (p less than 0.05). An interesting result was that there was no relationship between blood glucose levels before and after training provided (p> 0.05).
