The determination of values of specific resistance to the cut of the radish top

The article deals with the problematic level of mechanization of small farms, especially during harvesting. When considering the process of harvesting root crops, including radish, the most difficult operation is the separation of tops. In this regard, the author conducted a series of studies to identify patterns of the process of cutting tops on the example of radish. The study was carried out using a dynamometric installation developed at the Azov-Black Sea Engineering Institute of Don State Agrarian University, the basis of which was a pendulum cutting device, to which elements a control and measuring system was connected, including a strain gauge; elements of the signal conversion system and a personal computer or laptop with the ADCLabSE software product. The factor experiment made it possible to establish that such parameters as the angle of blade installation, its thickness and cutting speed significantly affected the energy performance of the process of separating radish tops, and the influence of the first factor was the opposite, the rest were direct.

MORTAL MOTIVES IN WORKS BY R. SENCHIN

By the beginning of the twenty-first century, death of a person becomes an iconic theme of an artistic reflection, and in the modern collective consciousness there is an idea of it as an ordinary phenomenon of life. A motive of death is one of the basic in R. Senchin’s works. It is manifested at a problematic level in the works “Zone of Flooding”, “The Eltyshevs”, “Live, Live”. The article analyzes a complex of moral motives associated with the understanding of death as a personal drama of a “little man” and as a traumatic experience of the current era in general. Senchin represents not only the drama of a family, a soul, but also predicts an apocalyptic end to the era that has forgotten the precepts of the past, traditions that have entered the path of degradation and death.

A discarded cigar package survey in New York City: indicators of non-compliance with local flavoured tobacco restrictions

IntroductionIn 2009, New York City (NYC) restricted the sale of flavoured tobacco products. We assessed product availability as a proxy for potential non-compliance by analysing discarded cigar, cigarillo and blunt wrap packages in New York City.MethodsA discarded cigar package survey was conducted in 2016, in a stratified random sample of 94 block groups in NYC resulting in the collection of 886 discarded cigar packages. Each package was coded for brand name, flavour description (explicit and implicit) and size.FindingsOverall, 19.2% of the cigar packages were explicitly flavoured. An additional 9.4% of the packages reflected implicit flavours. Explicit flavoured cigar packages were at increased odds of being found in Staten Island (adjusted OR (AOR)=3.96, 95% CI=1.66 to 9.46), in packaging size of two or three (AOR=8.49, 95% CI=4.24 to 17.02) or four or more (AOR=4.26, 95% CI=1.95 to 9.30).ConclusionNearly one out of three cigar packages were flavoured products suggesting a problematic level of non-compliance and continued availability. Potential non-compliance is likely fueled by licensed wholesalers and retailers who continue to sell restricted flavoured products. Some retailers may be unaware that implicitly named cigars are typically flavoured and are, therefore, illegal. This lack of awareness of implicit flavoured cigars may be exacerbated by NYC’s lack of education or enforcement specific to implicitly flavoured tobacco products.

Analysis of difficulty level of information system students in communicating English in industrial era 4.0

Purpose of this study is to describe the difficulty level of information system students in communicating English. This study was descriptive quantitative research. The subjects in this study were 100 of second semester information system students and students who repeated (30 people) in 2017/2018 at STMIK Indonesia Padang. The study instrument used was a questionnaires and it were distributed to all research subjects. The processing of questionnaire data used the construct validity test which was supported by the SPSS application. The results of the data analysis of the study shows that the difficulty level of information systems students in communication is categorized at a fairly problematic level with an percentage index of 69%. Therefore, the results of this study can be used as a reference for lecturers in designing learning modules and syllabus that matches with the level of students’ ability so that they will be categorized as students who are able to compete in the industrial era 4.0.

The issue of forming a modern young person’s worldview: a cultural philosophical analysis

At the intersection of various trends, the displacement of cultures and ideologies in modern Chechen society, there is a wide range of social polymorphism when individuals who practically represent one ethnic culture, depending on the social environment, acquire various phenotypic forms due to the interaction of the genotype with the environment. A classification of cultural trends is proposed, within the framework of which the worldview of the modern young Chechen in the Republic is being formed. The simultaneous coexistence of such different trends with the active interaction of their actors introduces transgressive changes in the consciousness of that part of young people with a problematic level of psychological and social adaptability to a changing world. The conducted analysis shows that in the process of forming the worldview of a modern young person a consciousness must be developed that adequately reflects objective reality in a subjective picture of the world based on healthy social interaction.

External and internal entropy assessment on farms in relation to their competitiveness

Internal and external entropy are indicators of evaluation of the success of the firm management. The evaluation of the file of the chosen agricultural firms shows, that the level of internal and external entropy is not too high for the future dynamics and development. Competitiveness of the evaluated firms can be influenced especially by problematic level of their interior social situation (it means social subsystem measured with the help of the internal entropy) that is connected with a not very efficient management of the human resources.
