ORGANIC MARKET FORMATION IN UKRAINE

The article examines modern state and prospects of the development of organic market in the context of rationalization of the available natural-resource potential of Ukraine. Basing on the analysis of key organic production indicators it is relevant to conclude that during last year’s there is stable positive dynamics in growing of the area of farmlands that take part in the certified reduced production. Due to the improvement of the organic production recycling the level of organic production consuming and number of certified manufacturers have significantly increased. Consumers of Ukrainian organic production are predominantly the EU countries. Ukraine is interested in the organic market development and there are inevitable resources that can be found in every region of the country. We have characterized the legal principles that enable the organic market and the establishing of relation that are linked to the organic production development which are regulated by the Law of Ukraine and other legislative acts that are related to the issue. Basing on the data of the article and estimation of the organic production consuming level in Ukraine in 2010-2019 there were evaluated forecast indicators of the Ukrainian organic market capacity until 2023.

MENINGKATKAN KEWIRAUSAHAAN MASYARAKAT MELALUI PELATIHAN KETERAMPILAN PEMBUATAN KONEKTOR MASKER DENGAN TEKNIK MAKRAME SERTA PEWARNAAN TAS/TOTE BAG DENGAN TEKNIK TIE DYE

The increasing number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia in mid-2021 around June brought increasing adverse effects, one of which was the ongoing economic crisis. This is certainly a problem for SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) in Indonesia, among others, such as marketing activities, production development, distribution between consumers are all affected. This community service activity aims to improve the skills and productivity of residents in supporting community entrepreneurial activities in RW 01 Pringtutul Hamlet, Barepan Village. So far, buying and selling activities in the market are not allowed to reduce cases of the spread of COVID-1. Conditions like this force every person to be able to survive in these limited conditions. One thing that can be done is to become a productive human being, even though you are in your own environment as well as at home. This service activity is carried out through counseling and mentoring methods with practice in making mask connectors and decorating bags/tote bags with the "Tie Dye" technique. The participation and enthusiasm of the residents of RW 01 in Pringtutul Hamlet, Barepan Village in participating in a series of activities was very good and active to ask questions and try to do everything that was taught in the training on making connectors and decorating bags/tote bags. The implementation is also carried out by implementing health protocols, namely by not gathering many people, washing hands, using masks and using hand sanitizer. The impact of this service activity is being able to increase creativity, insight and support entrepreneurial activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.Meningkatnya kasus COVID-19 di Indonesia pada pertengahan tahun 2021 sekitar bulan Juni membawa dampak buruk yang semakin meningkat, salah satunya yaitu krisis ekonomi yang masih berkelanjutan. hal ini tentu menjadi masalah bagi seorang UKM (Usaha Kecil dan Menengah) di Indonesia antara lain, seperti kegiatan pemasaran, pengembangan produksi, distribusi antar konsumen semua terkena dampaknya. Kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat ini memiliki tujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan dan produktivitas warga dalam menunjang kegiatan kewirausahaan masyarakat RW 01 Dusun Pringtutul, Desa Barepan. Selama ini kegiatan jual beli di pasar tidak diperbolehkan untuk mengurangi kasus persebaran COVID-1. Kondisi yang seperti ini memaksa setiap individu untuk bisa bertahan dalam kondisi yang serba terbatas ini. Salah satu yang bisa dilakukan yaitu menjadi manusia produktif walaupun berada di lingkungan sendiri seperti halnya di rumah. Kegiatan tersebut dilaksanakan melalui metode penyuluhan dan pendampingan dengan praktik dalam membuat konektor masker serta menghias tas/tote bag dengan teknik “Tie Dye”. Partisipasi dan antusiasme warga RW 01 di Dusun Pringtutul, Desa Barepan dalam mengikuti serangkaian kegiatan sangatlah baik serta aktif untuk bertanya dan berusaha bisa melakukan segala hal yang diajarkan dalam pelatihan pembuatan konektor serta menghias tas/tote bag. Pelaksanakan juga dilakukan dengan menerapkan protokol kesehatan yaitu dengan tidak mengumpulkan banyak orang, melakukan cuci tangan, menggunakan masker serta menggunakan handsanitizer. Dampak dari kegiatan pengabdian ini yaitu mampu meningkatkan kreatifitas, wawasan serta menunjang kegiatan kewirausahaan di masa pandemi COVID-19.

The Identification of Boll Weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Genes Involved in Pheromone Production and Pheromone Biosynthesis

Eradication programs for the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), rely almost exclusively on pheromone traps to indicate the need for insecticide applications. However, the effectiveness of traps in detecting weevil populations is reduced during certain times of the year, particularly when cotton is actively fruiting. Consequently, this could result in fields becoming heavily infested with weevils. It is widely speculated that the lack of weevil captures in traps during this period is largely due to the overwhelming amount of pheromone released by weevils in the field, which outcompete the pheromone released from traps. Thus, this work sought to identify genes involved in pheromone production so that new control methods that target these genes can be explored. We conducted an RNA-seq experiment that revealed 2479 differentially expressed genes between pheromone-producing and non-pheromone-producing boll weevils. Of those genes, 1234 were up-regulated, and 1515 were down-regulated, and most had gene annotations associated with pheromone production, development, or immunity. This work advances our understanding of boll weevil pheromone production and brings us one step closer to developing gene-level control strategies for this cotton pest.
