Study of the Integration of Disabled Students With Difficulties in Training

The article reflects the experience of the support center for the disabled students at the Ural State University. The study investigates the attitudes of groups of students and teachers toward the integration of students with disabilities. The success of this academic program requires the integration of populations fromdifferent backgrounds. The main factors for the success of the program are the staff and the students. These two factors participate in creating a supportive learning atmosphere. This study observes the attitudes of faculty members (teachers) and students toward the students with disabilities. The study examines their contribution to the program, development of the social and educational climate in terms of this unique and challenging population’s ability to independently perform in an academic environment. The process of integration of students with disabilities into higher education informs the subject of integration in general, and therefore the attitudes of those taking part in the integration. The improvement of this process is the key to itssuccess. The results of the research can be used to create educational programs for teachers and to organize courses for university students.

Genetic relatedness and taxonomy in closely related species of Hedysarum (Fabaceae)

A multidisciplinary study, engaging morphological, carpological and molecular data, has been performed to investigate the genetic relatedness and taxonomic boundaries of the close species Hedysarum gmelinii, H. setigerum and H. chaiyrakanicum (Fabaceae) with overlapped distribution areas in southern Siberia. The diagnostic features of these legume species are analyzed and discussed, including their macro- and micromorphological characteristics, seed coat ornamentation and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) profiles. The morphometric features, pod and seed microsculpture traits of H. chaiyrakanicum and the ISSR patterns of the three species have been determined for the first time. Sprout, leaf, calyx, corolla, and stem rachis measurements, leaflet indumentum type and ISSR patterns significantly discriminate H. chaiyrakanicum from the other two species, whereas plant height, lengths of stem and leaf, and length and width of leaflet show opposite ranges of variation for H. gmelinii and H. setigerum though none of them is reliable in species identification. Ornamentation of seed coat and ISSR patterns does not differ significantly in the species. Therefore, our study supports the separate taxonomic treatment of H. chaiyrakanicum and the subordination of the cryptic species H. setigerum within H. gmelinii

Variability and interpopulation differentiation of the rare species Gueldenstaedtia monophylla Fisch. (Fabaceae)

Genetic variability of the rare species Gueldenstaedtia monophylla from 7 natural populations in the central part of its range (Ongudai district, Altai Republic) was studied. To characterize the genetic diversity of this rare relict species at the population level, SDS-electrophoresis of seed storage proteins was used. Polypeptide spectra of seeds contained from 17 to 32 protein components, of which 28 were polymorphic. The populations of G. monophylla were revealed to have a sufficiently high level of genetic polymorphism, the genetic similarity index within the populations studied ranged from 0.673 to 0.813. The highest variability of seed storage proteins was found in the populations Inegen (0.673) and Malaya Inya (0.734). The lowest level of variability of the polypeptide spectra was in the population Bol’shoy Yaloman (0.813). The Nei genetic distance between the populations studied was 0.018–0.215, the greatest distance in the protein spectra was found between Inegen and Malaya Inya (0.215). Inegen was the most remote from the other populations, the Nei distance between this population and all other populations varying from 0.113 to 0.215. With AMOVA, it was found that the share of intra-population variability is 53 % and inter-population, 47 %. Perhaps this high genetic diversity in populations of G. monophylla is provided and maintained by such biological characteristics of the species as cross-pollination, high life expectancy and a long reproductive period. The results of our study suggest that some rare species are able to maintain high levels of genetic diversity, even in a small-size population. The relatively high level of genetic variability indicates that the current genetic drift and inbreeding do not pose a threat to the survival of the species

Trypsin inhibitor activity in representatives of the genus Hedysarum (Fabaceae): the polyvariance of seasonal dynamics in Southern Siberia

Background. Trypsin-inhibiting activity (TIA) is one of the factors of plant immunity. This factor provides the presence of general non-specific systemic resistance. Representatives of the genus Hedysarum L. are promising medicinal and high-protein fodder plants with high TIA in the leaves. High TIA values in the aboveground part of plants lead to a decrease in protein assimilation by animals. Therefore, identifying the differentiation in the features of TIA seasonal dynamics will make it possible to use the potential of these species most effectively under the conditions of Southern Siberia.Materials and methods. TIA in the leaves of mature generative plants of Hedysarum theinum Krasnob. and H. flavescens Regel & Schmalh. was analyzed. H. theinum is a rare species for Siberia; H. flavescens is a settled one in the forest-steppe zone of Western Siberia. The studies were conducted with H. theinum in 2010 under natural conditions (Altai Republic) and in cultivation (forest zone of Western Siberia). In 2017, H. theinum and H. flavescens were studied under cultivation in the forest-steppe zone of Western Siberia. The research method was based on the spectrophotometric measurement of the optical density in protein substrate (BAPA) decomposition products under the effect of trypsin (at 405 nm). Bovine trypsin manufactured by ISNBiomedical (USA) was used. BAPA (Na -benzoyl-DL-argininep-nitroanilide) served as a substrate.Conclusions. The TIA values in the flowering phase of seasonal plant development reached their maximum only under favorable conditions: in Altai Republic for the leaves of H. theinum, and in the foreststeppe zone of Western Siberia for H. flavescens. TIA values in H. theinum did not increase during flowering in the forest zone of Western Siberia and significantly decreased in the forest steppe. In view of these findings, these two species may be recommended for practical utilization in this phase of seasonal development

Neurocognitive functions as an indicator of subjective adaptation to involutionary processes

This neuropsychological study focuses on cognitive correlates of a successful process of adaptation to involutional processes. We examined 94 elderly people without pronounced cognitive impairments. It was shown that adaptation positively correlates with cognitive functions and negatively with comorbidity; the most significant predictors of successful adaptation to involutional processes are semantic memory and the rate of anticipatory processes

Variability of issr markers and estimation of inheritance of diagnostic characters among StY-genome species of Elymus pendulinus, E. brachypodioides and E. vernicosus (Poaceae: Triticeae)

Currently three species are recognized in Russia within the genus Elymus subsection Pendulini, namely, E. pendulinus, E. brachypodioides and E. vernicosus. The degree and quality of lemma and stem node vestitures and ecology are considered important characters for species delineation. In Primorsky krai and Altai Republic we have found a number of mixed populations in which there is visually continuous variation in lemmas vestitures from being completely glabrous to densely puberulent or pilose. Additionally, there are a number of populations in Primorsky krai in which individuals having either smooth or pilous stem nodes grow together. A study of polymorphism of ISSR markers among selective accessions of three species from different locations was carried out together with the reference species E. ciliaris and E. gmelinii. The consensus dendrogramm constructed by results of ISSR markers has shown no taxon specific patterns in accessions of the subsection Pendulini. Hybrids between the individuals of different species of the subsection in six cross combinations have been created. All F1 plants had normally developed open anthers, seed fertility (SF) ranged from 8 % to 89 % in different combinations. In F2 populations no sterile individuals or increase of SF up to normal values were observed. Hence, three taxa form a unified recombination gene pool. The diagnostic characters were found to be controlled by one pair of alternative alleles for glabrous vs. hairy stem nodes, and by one or two pairs of alleles in different cross combinations for glabrous vs. hairy lemmas. These characters can be considered as normal inter- and/or intra-population variation. Therefore, E. brachypodioides and E. vernicosus need to be relegated to infraspecific rank within Elymus pendulinus s. l. as varieties

Conservation of the West Sayan endemic Fritillaria sonnikovae Schaulo et A. Erst (Liliaceae) in in vitro collection

An effective system of micropropagation and in vitro conservation of the West Sayan endemic Fritillaria sonnikovae Schaulo et A. Erst was developed and the genetic stability of regenerants after slow-growth storage was assessed. The efficiency of bulb scale segments as primary explants was established. The optimum nutrient medium for stages of in vitro culture initiation and multiplication was BDS supplemented with BAP (5.0 µM) and NAA (2.0 µM). The microplant collection was maintained in active-growth (+23±2 °С) and slow-growth (+7 °С) conditions. The period of subculturing at +7 °С was prolonged to 9–12 months when microclones of F. sonnikovae were transferred to slowgrowth conditions. Assessment of microplant regeneration potential in further cultivation of bulb scales on BDS nutrient medium supplemented with BAP (5.0 µM) and NAA (2.0 µM) revealed a stimulating effect of conservation at low temperatures: the regeneration rate reached 93 % and the number of bulblets per explant was 6.9±1.7 at the first passage after slow-growth storage. However, further cultivation led to decrease of shoot development, and the regeneration rate reached the level before slow-growth storage at the third passage. The genetic fidelity of regenerants obtained during direct organogenesis at the first passage after slow-growth storage (12 months) was established by analysis of ISSR-PCR-fragments
