Socialization is the development of new information by the dog, adaptation to the surrounding world. Teaching a dog to get along with its environment is quite a difficult task, especially if we are talking about a neglected animal living in a shelter. The socialization of dogs and the correct behavior of veterinary specialists when receiving such animals is fundamental in adapting to the surrounding world, and an adequate response of animals increases the chances of finding new owners for them. The process of socialization of a dog in human society depends on the frequency of its contacts with a person. It is important that volunteers and volunteers of different ages come to shelters for socialization and communicate with the animal in different conditions for them - in aviaries and on the street. Basically, communication between a dog and a person consists of three links: vocal communication, body signals, and ritual behavior. The socialization of dogs living in shelters has a complex structure and consists of several stages. The most important and simple thing that a person can offer a dog is to get used to the hands, learn how to wear a collar and walk on a leash. Veterinary specialists should be vigilant and careful when working with asocial animals. Compliance with a number of rules and taking into account the conditions of their detention and mental state will help to effectively carry out all the necessary manipulations, without harming the specialist, assistants and the animal.

Our conference is the first project of Student Science Association, which was restored in our University in 1998. The main peculiarity of the conference is the student organizing committee. The conference was attended by representatives of Russia, Belarus, Sweden, Poland, Bulgaria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Georgia, Iran, not mentioning hundreds of Ukrainian participants. We’re happy with the fact that our conference allows students to discover new information, which they wouldn’t find in training courses manuals; contrariwise businesses and organizations can get direct access to young and qualified staff. We believe that events like our conference are useful for the young scientists and also for the public authorities and businesses. Conference "Ecology. Human. Society "is a part of feedback between universities and market participants. The conference has overgrown limits of being simple educational process element. Today, it is a serious recruiting resource for state institutions and businesses - an important part of a mutually beneficial dialogue.

Every human society has a history that it takes pride in. In times of despair there could be invocation or calls to return to that history either as an informant of correct practice or as an inspiration of what current practice should be. Hence some African scholars and politicians have made calls that seek to return to that source. At least three problems pose some significant threat to the project of the return to the source. Firstly, there is a problem of interpreting what the exact nature of that traditional set up was, secondly there is a problem of working out how the traditional mode can fit into the modern, and thirdly there is the problem of the possibility that different sources existed in that pristine past. Without an adequate response to these threats, the return may not be as smooth as its advocates have thought it to be.

Abstract The first step in the membrane cycle of reactions during peptidoglycan biosynthesis is the transfer of phospho-MurNAc-pentapeptide from UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide to undecaprenyl phosphate, catalyzed by the integral membrane protein MraY translocase. Different MraY inhibitors are known and can be subdivided into classes depending on their structural composition. Caprazamycins belong to the liponucleoside class of antibiotics isolated from Streptomyces sp. MK730-62F2. They possess activity in vitro against Gram-positive bacteria, in particular against the genus Mycobacterium including Mycobacterium intracellulare, Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Caprazamycins and the structurally related liposidomycins and A-90289 share a unique composition of moieties. Their complex structure is derived from 5′-(β-O-aminoribosyl)-glycyluridine and comprises a unique N,N′-dimethyldiazepanone ring. Recently, the corresponding biosynthetic gene clusters of caprazamycins, liposidomycins and A-90289 have been discovered and will be compared in this review. New information is also emerging regarding the biosynthesis of liponucleoside antibiotics obtained by gene disruption experiments and biochemical investigations.

Abstract Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are proteoglycans challenging researchers for decades. However, despite the extremely interesting polydispersity of their structure and essential application potential, studies of AGPs in fruit are limited, and only a few groups deal with this scientific subject. Here, we summarise the results of pioneering studies on AGPs in fruit tissue with their structure, specific localization pattern, stress factors influencing their presence, and a focus on recent advances. We discuss the properties of AGPs, i.e., binding calcium ions, ability to aggregate, adhesive nature, and crosslinking with other cell wall components that may also be implicated in fruit metabolism. The aim of this review is an attempt to associate well-known features and properties of AGPs with their putative roles in fruit ripening. The putative physiological significance of AGPs might provide additional targets of regulation for fruit developmental programme. A comprehensive understanding of the AGP expression, structure, and untypical features may give new information for agronomic, horticulture, and renewable biomaterial applications.

Relevance and purpose. Currently known methods of accounting for berry yields are not applicable for multi-species forests of different ages with the presence of undergrowth and undergrowth, widespread in Russia. Difficulties arise due to a set of input parameters, including type of forest growing conditions, breed, age, completeness, but not describing the illumination at the level of the grass-shrub layer, which is the determining factor in the yield of blueberries, cranberries, raspberries. The purpose of this study is to develop an approach to calculating the yield of wild berries, taking into account the illumination at the ground cover level by simulation methods. Material and methods. For the forecast, the FORRUS-S model of forest plantation dynamics is used. The yield data is taken from an existing reference book, which shows productivity in clean plantations without undergrowth and undergrowth. The use of an additional predictor of berry yield, namely, illumination at the level of ground cover, made it possible to predict yields in forests of a more complex structure: multi-species, of different ages, with undergrowth and undergrowth. Results and conclusion. An original approach to calculating the yield of wild berries has been developed. The above approach allows us to estimate the yield of the most common berries in the European part of Russia: blueberries, raspberries, lingonberries. Universal equations have been obtained that make it possible to predict the productivity of berry bushes based on the taxation characteristics of the stand and the illumination calculated in the model.

Purpose is to substantiate the peculiarities of adaptation to the role of the mother among women with children of different ages in modern conditions.Methods. The article presents guidelines for studying the psychology of motherhood and training in this field. Motherhood is studied in psychology in various aspects, psychological schools and areas. There are many scientific and popular science publications on this issue. Various aspects of maternal behavior are affected in the psychology of personality, in child psychology, pedagogical psychology. The importance of maternal behavior for child development, its complex structure and path of development, the multiplicity of cultural and individual options as well as a huge number of modern studies in this area allow us to speak about the special relevance of studying motherhood as a psychological phenomenon. Results. Differences in the emotional experiences of women associated with the first and second pregnancies are revealed. Both pregnancies caused joyful experiences in most of the women who participated in our study. The news of the first pregnancy was more a source of anxiety and fear. However, later there was a more harmonious attitude of women to the first pregnancy, during the second pregnancy women felt less positive emotions associated with expecting a child, more often experienced anxiety and doubts.Conclusions. It is hypothesized that children of different ages cause different emotional experiences in women. In relation to the first child, mothers more often than to the second, on the one hand, feel delight, pride, and on the other – anxiety and fear. The second child, in comparison with the first, more often causes joy, surprise. Mothers’ perceptions of the personal characteristics of children of different ages have certain features. Mothers perceive the older child as more self-confident, disciplined and independent; mostly treat her as an individual. Women evaluate the youngest child as more extroverted, sociable, open. There are a number of relationships between the characteristics of a woman’s personality and the peculiarities of her attitude to the older and younger child. A woman’s harmonious relationship with her parents has a positive effect on her perception of her own children. Such personality traits as anxiety, self-doubt, low stress resistance, inability to establish interpersonal relationships negatively affect the ability of a woman to harmoniously fulfil the role of mother, her adaptation to the upbringing children of different ages.Key words: psychology of experiences, motherhood, psychology of motherhood, features of adaptation. Мета –обґрунтувати особливості адаптації до ролі матері серед жінок з дітьми різного віку в сучасних умовах. Методи. У статті представлено методичні рекомендації щодо вивчення психології материнства і підготовки фахівців у цій сфері. Материнство вивчається в психології в різних аспектах, психологічних школах і напрямах. Є чимало наукових і науково-популярних видань, присвячених цій проблемі. Різні аспекти материнської поведінки зачіпаються в психології особистості, в дитячій психології, педагогічній психології. Важливість материнської поведінки для розвитку дитини, її складна структура і шлях розвитку, множинність культурних та індивідуальних варіантів, а також величезна кількість сучасних досліджень у цій сфері дозволяють говорити про особливу актуальність вивчення материнства як психологічного феномена. Результати. Виявлено відмінності в емоційних переживаннях жінок, пов’язаних з першою і другою вагітністю. Обидві вагітності у більшості жінок, які взяли участь у нашому дослідженні, викликали радісні переживання. Звістка про першу вагітність більшою мірою була джерелом тривоги, страху. Однак пізніше спостерігалося більш гармонійне ставлення жінок до першої вагітності, під час другої вагітності жінки відчували менше позитивних емоцій, пов’язаних з очікуванням дитини, частіше переживали тривогу, сумніви.Висновки. Запропоновано гіпотезу, що діти різного віку викликають у жінок різні емоційні пережи-вання. Щодо першої дитини матері частіше, ніж до другої, з одного боку, відчувають захват, гордість, а з іншого – тривогу і страх. Друга дитина в порівнянні з першою частіше викликає радість, здивування. Сприйняття матерями особистісних характеристик дітей різного віку має певні особливості. Матері сприймають старшу дитину як більш впевнену в собі, дисципліновану, самостійну, більшою мірою ставляться до неї як до окремої особистості. Молодшу дитину жінки оцінюють як більш екстравертовану, товариську, відкриту. Існує ряд взаємозв’язків між властивостями особистості жінки і особливостями її ставлення до старшої і молодшої дитини. Гармонійні взаємини жінки зі своїми батьками позитивно впливають на її сприйняття власних дітей. Такі особистісні риси, як тривожність, невпевненість у собі, низька стресостійкість, невміння встановлювати міжособистісні відносини негативно впливають на можливості гармонійного здійснення жінкою ролі матері, на її адаптацію до виховання дітей різного віку.Ключові слова: психологія переживань, материнство, психологія материнства, особливості адаптації.

At present the issues related to the prevention of diseases of the 20th century that arise with the development of human society and include external (infection, climate change, ecology) and internal (stressful situations, weakening of immunity, metabolic problems) reasons caused by the modern lifestyle are the topical issues of the world community. A characteristic feature of a modern person’s life is a constant lack of free time, inadequate sleep, a sedentary lifestyle and, most importantly, an unbalanced diet. Taking into account regular stress factors, there is an increased physiological need of the human body for micro- and macronutrients that come with food. The lack of these elements, along with increasing mental and physical stress, leads to poor health and occurrence of diseases. Butter is traditional food in an average person’s diet. Butter is a highly nutritious food product where milk fat is concentrated. Milk fat contains many valuable ingredients such as water, phospholipids, lactose and complete proteins. The development of butter enriched with vegetable fillers is a topical research area. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) has great prospects as a plant component. The aim of the research is to develop fortified butter. To achieve this goal, the following tasks have been formulated: to assess the effect of Melissa officinalis L. herbal additive on the organoleptic characteristics of the enriched butter; to conduct an experimental assessment of the quality characteristics of experimental samples of butter with Melissa officinalis L. as a fortified product; to determine changes in the quality characteristics of Melissa officinalis L. enriched butter during storage; to develop a recipe for enriched butter with Melissa officinalis L. herbal additive.

Problems arising in the near future may grow larger and more complex beyond the human capability for managing them and it is worrying that this can cause trouble for human society. The only possible way to solve this problem is to make computers more intelligent to back up the weak points of human beings. At least, it is necessary to provide a method for capturing and recording all human decisions in problem-solving. This view leads one to an idea of a computer-led interactive system such that the computer becomes able to manage problem-solving process and makes records of individual decisions made by a human being. Autonomy, generality and practicality are the major requirements for such computer-led interactive systems. New information technology to meet this condition is discussed. It is very different from the conventional computer technology in many aspects. The major topics are: a model-based software architecture for future information systems, a modeling scheme to accept and represent a wide area of problems, a method for externalizing human ideas and of representing it as a model, a method for solving problems represented in the form of a model and so on. It outlines a part of the research work being promoted by the author's group under the sponsorship of the Science and Technology Agency of the Japanese Government.

AbstractUrbanised landscape represents composed structures of technical and biotic elements where social and economy activities create living space for human society but with strongly changed environment. To dominant characters belong climate changes with increased air temperature, drought and emission load, which has developed wide spectrum of stress factors influencing the urban vegetation. For the assessment of plant growth and adaptation response, we have used Sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) as study model woody plant. In the framework of visual characters, we assessed the following indicators: (a) assimilation organs (leaf necrosis); (b) crown quality (degree of foliage and degree of dead tree crown); (c) trunk and branch quality (mechanical damage, incidence of wood destroying fungus and trunk cavities and callus healing of trunk wounds). Each indicator was assessed in five-point scale, and in the end, the common index of quality was calculated. The quality index achieved 9.33 points in the first and 10.33 in the second evaluation periods in the Nitra city and 2.66 at the both assessed periods in the comparable rural park. In the group of physiological indicators, chlorophyll a fluorescence marker and its Fv/Fm parameter were used. Within three repeating assessment during growing season (June, August and September), the average values reached Fv/Fm = 0.814 in the city and Fv/Fm = 0.829 in rural park. The results confirmed statistical significances between loaded city conditions and relatively clean rural locality. Used markers have shown as appropriate tools for growth response measurements of street trees in a changed urban environment.

The paper deals with animal welfare definitions and animal welfare assessment. Animal welfare is a prolonged mental state, resulting from how the animal experiences its environment over time. There are different methods for animal welfare assessment. The four basic criteria for animal welfare assessment are feeding, housing, health and appropriate behavior. Therefore, criteria used to assess animal welfare are not direct measures of the mental state but only parameters that need to be interpreted in terms of welfare. The immediate housing environment and feeding may influence animal welfare either positively, when most of the important requirements are respected, or negatively, when animals are exposed to various stress factors and unpleasant emotions that contribute to animal disease, injuries or inappropriate behavior. Therefore, animal welfare is a unique link between housing conditions, feeding and watering on one side, and animal health status and behavior on the other side.
