The aim of this work was to study the influence of atmospheric, vacuum and microwave vacuum drying methods on the quality of dried beetroots. Three different red beetroot species ('Alto F1', 'Cylindra', 'Detroit') were chosen in this study. The microwave vacuum method reduced the total time of drying and decreased the shrinkage compared to the other drying methods. The quality of the dehydrated material was described by its color change, antioxidant capacity, total polyphenol, betacyanin, betaxanthin and each phenolic acids content. The attempts were made to suggest the microwave vacuum method for red beetroot samples as a gentle drying technology to reach a special texture that is favoured by costumers. During the experiments relevant differences could be observed between the investigated beetroot species on the effect of different drying methods. According to the examined parameters the 'Cylindra' species proved the most appropriate beetroot variety for microwave vacuum drying. Based on the results, the combined methods with hot-air at 60 °C followed by microwave vacuum finish drying was the most suitable assay to preserve the investigated parameters in the highest amount.

Selenium plays an important antioxidant role in a living organism. At the same time, we often observe a deficit of selenium in natural environmental locations. Therefore, it is of great importance to elaborate and assess methods for the most efficient and environmentally safe intake of the necessary amount of this element in the human body with the consumption of vegetable food, among others. In this respect, the techniques of enriching plants with this microelement are promising. These techniques include additional introduction of selenium compounds into the soil and non-root intake. Our research consisted of an environmental assessment of the effect of selenium on biometric parameters, crop yield, and quality of spring wheat plants. Aziiev soft spring wheat, selenium microelement, meadow chernozemic soil were the objects of our study. It was determined that Se has a predominantly stimulating effect on the growth and development of wheat plants and their crop yield. A direct correlation between an increase in the applied doses of selenium and an increase in its content in wheat grain was identified. The results of our study can be applied for the development of appropriate methods for the use of selenium-containing micro fertilizers in certain environmental conditions.

Исследования проводились на дерново-подзолистой среднесуглинистой почве. В опыте изучалось влияние систем удобрений на урожайность и качество яровой пшеницы. Объект исследования пшеница яровая Дарья. Установлено, что использование органо-минерального субстрата как отдельно, так и в сочетании с минеральными удобрениями (норма минеральных удобрений N80P80K80) способствовало повышению урожайности и улучшению качества зерна яровой пшеницы. По фактору систем удобрений наибольшая урожайность (23,08 ц/га) достигнута при использовании органо-минерального субстрата. В этом варианте урожайность повышалась на 11,77 ц/га в сравнении с контролем. Яровая пшеница сформировала достаточно высокую урожайность (20,17 ц/га) и при внесении минеральных удобрений в норме N80P80K80 в сочетании с органо-минеральным субстратом. В этом варианте урожайность была на 8,86 ц/га выше, чем в контроле. Наибольшее содержание белка (16,44 в пересчёте на абсолютно сухое вещество) и клейковины (39,34 на СВ) в зерне яровой пшеницы отмечалось при использовании органо-минерального субстрата совместно с минеральными удобрениями в норме N80P80K80, что важно для улучшения хлебопекарных свойств пшеничной муки.The researches were carried out on soddy podzolic medium loamy soil. In the trial the effect of fertilizer systems on the yield and quality of spring wheat was studied. The object of research is spring wheat Darya. It was established that the use of an organo-mineral support medium both separately and in combination with mineral fertilizers (the amount of mineral fertilizers N80P80K80) contributed to an increase in yield and an improvement in the quality of spring wheat grain. By the factor of fertilizer systems the highest yield (23.08 kg/ha) was achieved using an organo-mineral support medium. In this variant the yield was increased by 11.77 kg/ha in comparison with the control. Spring wheat has formed a sufficiently high yield (20.17 kg/ha) and when applying mineral fertilizers in the amount N80P80K80in combination with an organo-mineral support medium. In this variant the yield was 8.86 kg/ha higher than in the control one. The highest content of protein (16.44 in terms on absolutely dry basis) and gluten (39.34 in SV) in spring wheat grain was observed when using an organo-mineral support medium together with mineral fertilizers in the norm N80P80K80which is important for improving baking properties wheat flour.

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of chemical properties of the soil on the yield and quality of the grain of spring wheat. The highest yield of grain of spring wheat of Aquilon va-riety is observed at very high nitrification capacity of soil. As the amount of nitrate nitrogen in the soil increases, the protein content of the spring wheat grain increases. The higher the hydrolytic acidity of the soil, the lower the vitreousness of the spring wheat grain. As the sum of the soil ex-change bases increases, the nature of the egg wheat grain increases. As the yield of spring wheat grain increases, the weight of 1000 seeds and the gluten strain index decrease. As the percentage of weed impurity increases, the natural weight of the grain decreases. As the gluten content of the grain increased, the gluten strain index and the vitreous of the grain increased.

Представлены результаты по изучению эффективности применения различных модификаций препарата МЕГАМИКС и комплексного минерального удобрения (нитроаммофоска) в технологии возделывании яровой пшеницы сорта Ульяновская 100 в условиях лесостепи Среднего Поволжья. Установлено, что под действием некорневой обработки препаратом МЕГАМИКС содержание белка в зерне повышалось на 0,67-1,03 % (неудобренный фон) и на 1,33-1,61 % (удобренный фон). В среднем за годы исследований, по сравнению с контрольным вариантом, повышение массовой доли клейковины составило 0,71-1,57 % (неудобренный фон) и 1,94-2,60 % (удобренный фон), в зависимости от варианта опыта. Применение препарата МЕГАМИКС и нитроаммофоски способствует снижению индекса деформации клейковины на 4,44-6,47 у.е., что, в свою очередь, улучшает технологические достоинства зерна пшеницы. Содержание крахмала в зерне опытной культуры увеличивается по сравнению с контролем на 1,81-4,99 %. Изучаемые модификации препарата МЕГАМИКС увеличивали урожайность на 0,37-1,43 ц/га на неудобренном фоне и на 1,41-3,12 ц/га на удобренном фоне. Наиболее эффективным по всем показателям является применение жидкого минерального удобрения МЕГАМИКС – ЦИНК на фоне комплексного минерального удобрения (нитроаммофоски). The results of studying the effectiveness of using various modifications of MEGAMIX and complex mineral fertilizer (ANP fertilizer) in the cultivation technology of spring wheat of the Ulyanovskaya 100 variety in the forest-steppe conditions of the Middle Volga region are presented. It was found that under the influence of foliar treatment with MEGAMIX, protein content in the grain increased by 0.67-1.03% (unfermented background) and by 1.33-1.61% (fertilized background). On average, over the years of research, in comparison with the control variant, the increase in the mass fraction of gluten was 0.71-1.57% (unfertilized background) and 1.94-2.60% (fertilized background), depending on the variant of the experiment. The use of MEGAMIX and ANP fertilizer helps to reduce gluten deformation index by 4.44-6.47 c.u., which, in turn, improves the technological advantages of wheat grain. The starch content in the grain of the experimental crop increases in comparison with the control by 1.81-4.99%. The studied modifications of MEGAMIX increased the yield by 0.37-1.43 c/ha against an unfertilized background and by 1.41-3.12 c/ha against a fertilized background. The most effective in all respects is the use of liquid mineral fertilizer MEGAMIX - ZINC against the background of a complex mineral fertilizer (ANP fertilizer).

In 2011–2015, at the Rumokai Experiment Station of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry research was carried out with spring wheat on Bathihypogleyi-Calc(ar)ic Luvisol (LVk-gld-w) with predominant silt loam ant clay loam. The main aim was to determine the influence of climate conditions and fertilizer rates calculated by different methods on spring wheat. Five years of research have shown that using the Fertilization Program “Derlius” of the Agrochemical Laboratory at the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, during spring wheat fertilization the nitrogen fertilizers were less consumed by 15.8%, phosphorus by 81.9% and potassium by 41.1% compared with fertilization for obtaining the planned 5 t ha–1 spring wheat grain yield. Also, the studies have shown that climatic conditions in the eastern part of the Baltic Sea greatly affect the yield of spring wheat. The yield of wheat grain and straw, and the number of productive stems correlated with the amount of precipitation and the sum of active temperatures in spring wheat BBCH 21–37 growth stages. A negative correlation was established in the growth stages BBCH 61–89 between higher rainfall and spring wheat yields. The average data from the five years of research showed that the sum of active temperatures during wheat growth increased nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the straw, and phosphorus and potassium concentrations in the grain.

Abstract Healthcare buildings require efficient maintenance management to afford patients, visitors, and other users of hospital buildings such as healthcare professionals a serene and safe environment that accelerates wellbeing and provides maximum comfort. To achieve this goal, hospital buildings must adopt effective maintenance management approaches and services. Apart from ensuring the safety of the environment, users of the buildings must be satisfied with the quality of available services, particularly, those offered to patients. Against this backdrop, this study assesses the effects of defects on hospital buildings and analyzes the practicality of maintenance best practices such as sufficient allocations of funds and appropriate management of resources (including time and labor) towards the improvement of the prevalent status quo. This is important because the maintenance practices employed in hospitals intrinsically impact the performance of the hospital buildings as a result of defects. Survey questionnaires were administered to users of hospital buildings in Malaysia. The most significant defects reported concerned Algae on concrete floors, weather and climate conditions, and sanitary appliance & fittings damages. These defects depreciate the appearance, functionality and utility of hospital buildings thereby lessening their performance and efficiency. Therefore, this study asserts the pertinence of reevaluating the maintenance management approaches employed towards the rectification of the highlighted defects in hospital buildings across Malaysia. The study posits the adoption of systemic proactive maintenance procedures to preempt decay, causalities and reduce cost implications.
