Weeds Control in Cassava Plants Development

The purpose of this study is to determine what kinds of weeds may interfere with the development of cassava and how to manage the presence of weeds that interfere with the growth of cassava. Cassava has significant economic and social potential as a future food component, raw material for a variety of businesses, and animal feed, among other applications. Weeds have the ability to multiply quickly via seed. Annual weeds are the most common kind of weed discovered in cassava because they develop extremely quickly and generate seeds in a short period of time. Weed management is often accomplished by mechanical techniques, such as pulling, submerging, or other similar methods. Uprooting should be done before the seeds of this plant begin to spread, and additional methods of management should include herbicide spraying

METHODOLOGY OF CLASSIFYING PERIPHERAL AREAS AND RESEARCH ON THEIR SOCIAL POTENTIAL – ORIGINAL CONCEPT

This article presents an original methodological concept for the diagnosis of social potential and the classification of peripheral areas. The authors operationalized and quantified this potential. The proposed typology of peripheral areas was assessed in terms of methodological correctness, cognitive usefulness and practical use. In the deliberations, it was possible to verify the hypothesis stating that peripheral areas, assessed as homogeneous clusters of communes, are subject to functional and structural classification. It is possible to distinguish relatively homogeneous types and to identify their local social potentials that serve to create the so-called critical mass that initiates development processes. The preliminary results of the research allowed the authors to assume as correct the statement that each of the distinguished functional types of communes in the peripheral area has a separate social potential that is characteristic of it. Its effective use may contribute to the initiation of innovative development processes in these communes. However, it is important that they take place on a separate path, adequately to the opportunities offered by this local social potential. The practical use of the methodological proposals will allow improving the process of planning and implementing the development strategy of peripheral communes, taking into account their specificity and social potential. It will also facilitate the implementation of the assumptions of the regional policy of the European Union.The authors’ methodological concept presented in the article, used to study social potentials in peripheral areas, is a proposal for researchers dealing with the issues of diversity in the socio-economic space and the problems of peripheral areas.

Hamilton's Kirikiriroa Gully: Engaging with waterway social life from the ground up

<p>The social value of waterways and gullies in new suburban development is something that is often overlooked and given limited resources to be developed. They have the potential to be intense centres of neighbourhoods and provide much needed social relief in the age of rapid urban expansion. This thesis explores the social potential of Kirikiriroa gully in Hamilton where suburban development has occurred at an alarming rate. The research extends the traditional top down masterplan design methodology used for large project sites by investigating the reverse of this, a study of life on the ground to inform the design. Using on-site analytical and design methods, the design attempts to reveal the workings of the landscape in a way that a masterplan cannot. Key to this was the identification of three important social experiential typologies within the gully system. The understanding and documentation of the relations and forces that produced these types facilitated adjustments to strategically identified sites, with the intention of intensifying the relevant social ecology of the gully at that site. This intensification is intended to influence the wider neighbourhoods and the gully system more broadly.</p>

Parent club as a rehabilitation structure for the family of a child with disabilities

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of organizing a parent club for families raising children with disabilities. Based on practical experience, the authors identify the conditions necessary for the effective functioning of the parent club. Based on the results of the study of the social potential, psychological characteristics and relevance of this form of work for parents, a program of classes was compiled and the main directions of the club's work were determined.

Formation and Development of Educational Potential of Russian Unemployed Adolescents

The problem of educational potential and work potential is multifaceted. First, it is necessary to increase their rational use for sustainable development of the country. Secondly, the value components of educational potential and work potential of young people are unstable and contradictory. This fact leads to socio-cultural features and has an impact on the level of development of the social potential of modern youth. This work addresses the status roles of the unemployed, types of their employment behaviour, attitudes to education, training, retraining, self-development of unemployed youth as a specific social group. The features of value components of educational potential and work potential of the Russian unemployed youth in modern conditions are analyzed based on authors' research. The article analyzes the possibility of using various systems and technologies of training, including traditional, electronic, distance; it also reveals modern methods and techniques of training and offers a model of distance learning for young unemployed.

Environmental, Economic, and Social Potentialities of Ornamental Vegetation Cultivated in Constructed Wetlands of Mexico

Sustainable development implies the proper use of natural resources, such as water resources, but the environmental, economic, and social benefits should also be considered. In the water sector, for example, sanitation is one of the challenges that arise in rural localities. However, issues related to it may be solved with the use of constructed wetlands (CWs), which may allow the cultivation of ornamental plants with phytoremediation properties. Through a content analysis, the environmental, economic, and social potential of ornamental species used in Mexico for phytoremediation in CWs is documented in this study. The environmental potential of the plants was considered based on their phytoremediation properties. The economic potential was determined from research articles and from the National Agri-Food Information System. The social potential was analyzed considering the ornamental and artisanal use of the plants. In total, 21 species of phytoremediation plants were identified. Anthurium andreanum and Zantedeschia aethiopica stand out for their commercial value, reported in 2018 to be 272,875 and 30,318 USD, respectively, at the national level. The social potential was identified by the ornamental or artisanal use for flower arrangements and weaving. This study reveals that the use of CWs with ornamental vegetation is a sustainable option to clean wastewater, reuse water, and generate economic incentives. Thus, it is essential to provide the community with adequate training for the management of CWs in those sites that lack treatment systems.

Opatrenia v oblasti vlastných príjmov ako nástroj kompenzácie negatívnych dopadov pandémie COVID 19 na obyvateľov krajských miest v podmienkach SR

The author examines the measures concerning the revenue side of city budgets (property revenues, local taxes), which were adopted in eight Slovak regional cities during the first wave of the COVID 19 pandemic. Using the method of analysis, comparison, categorical classification, systematization and finally synthesis the author in conclusion states that in choosing the fiscal measures used, the cities did not put their own economic interests and the achievement of budgeted income above the economic, social or cultural needs of individuals, rather perceive them as a possible effort to be proportional. The author also points out the finding that local governments are aware, in addition to the economic and social potential of local taxes, which are in their administration and thus become an effective and accessible direct tool for fulfilling some specific tasks of municipalities and cities.
