Compound Feed Technology in Sturgeon Fish Aquiculture

The modern fish processing industry of the Russian Federation sets the task of increasing the efficiency of the use and development of the resource potential of the fishery complex by means of aquaculture and mariculture development, including sturgeon fish breeding. In this case, complex processing through the rational use of by-products of fish and hydrobiont. In Russia, China, the EU and other countries, most fish processing enterprises do not rationally use by-products of fish cutting, which leads to violation of environmental safety (waste deposits are littered with waste from the fishing industry). The article discusses the prospects of using alternative plant materials in the diet of sturgeon fish, presents the recipes for full extruded compound feed for this group of organisms, the quality indicators of compound feed for sturgeon. A comprehensive assessment of the quality of compound feed products was obtained according to the physicochemical and structural indicators of compound feed. The optimal terms and conditions of storage of the obtained feed were found. Based on the performed tests, it was concluded that it is advisable to use raw materials of plant origin in the composition of compound feed, which contributes to the growth of the live weight of fish, leads to the replacement of the costly components of the compound feed with cheaper raw materials of plant origin, provided that the nutritional value is not reduced, and the period and conditions of storage meet the existing requirements

Features of Muscle Tissue Microstructure of Cattle in Industrial Agglomerations under the Environmental Pressure Conditions

The intensive development of the industrial sector, intensification of the agro-industrial complex, associated with the use of various fertilizers, active use of modern household chemicals lead to the constant increase in xenobiotics in the environment in both rural and urban agglomerations. There are settlements and farms within the industrial areas, therefore, the issue of accumulation of ecotoxicants in the organs and tissues of an animal, as well as the impact on the state of its health, is of particular importance. In the regions with tough environmental situation associated with anthropogenic contamination, xenobiotics of anthropogenic origin can directly or indirectly modify the activity of various body systems. The integral characteristic that reflects adaptive modifications of biota is the morphological and functional status of organs and tissues of an animal, including the state of muscle tissue. An analysis of the regenerative plastic potential of muscle tissue allows finding innovative approaches to assessing the effects of environmental impacts on animals. Up to the present day, the morphological and functional characteristics of muscle tissue in young animals and adult cattle have not been sufficiently studied in the conditions of the tough environmental situation of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation. The issue of ecological pathologies of organs in productive animals is quite urgent for the territory of the Central Federal District with its developed agro-industrial complex and industry. The study of animals from the agglomeration of the large chemical plant showed that cattle react differently to pollutants. The animals demonstrated changes not only in hematological and biochemical parameters, but also in the morphological and functional status of muscle tissue

IgG antibodies with peroxidase-like activity from the sera of healthy Wistar rats

AbstractVarious catalytic antibodies or abzymes (Abzs) have been detected recently in the sera of patients and animals with many autoimmune diseases, where their presence is most probably associated with autoimmunization. Normal humans or animals usually do not contain Abzs. In contrast, polyclonal Abzs from healthy humans and animals have an intrinsic superoxide dismutase activity and catalyze formation of H2O2 (Wentworth et al., 2000, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA; 2001, Science). Here, we present the first evidence showing that highly purified native IgGs from the sera of healthy Wistar rats interact with H2O2 and possess peroxidase-like activity. Specific peroxidase activity of IgG preparations from the sera of 10 rats varied in the range 1.6–27% as compared with that for horseradish peroxidase (100%). Antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutases, catalases, and glutathione peroxidases are known to represent critical defence mechanisms for preventing oxidative modifications of DNA, proteins, and lipids. Antioxidant peroxidase activity of Abzs can also play an important role in the protection of organisms from oxidative stress as well as in oxidation of toxic compounds

Book review: Kravchenko S. A. “Sociology of Digitalisation: university textbook”

The review of a new book written by a leading Russian sociologist-theorist Sergey A. Kravchenko is presented. The book analyses the social implications and prospects of the digitalisation. The objectivity of this process leading to the complication of society, its dehumanisation and the emergence of new previously unseen risks, is noted. Scientific and technological innovations reduce the share of traditional risks, natural and technological, but increase the share of institutional risks. Sergey A. Kravchenko calls this new reality the socio-digital-natural reality, in which, primarily in social networks, both human actors and non-human (digital) actors, sociotechnical and techno-social hybrids operate. The author of the book being reviewed concludes that there is a need for a humanistic digital turn, a change in approaches and focus of modern scientific knowledge, which should be integrated and multidisciplinary, based on the social and natural sciences integration, aimed at the analysis of disequilibrium systems in which disequilibrium, turbulence do not exclude the tendencies towards organisation and self-organisation.The peer-reviewed work is an educational publication and it is aimed at developing students’ ability to think critically about the consequences of digitalisation and make balanced managerial decisions. It introduces students to the most modern and advanced sociological theories and concepts

МОДЕЛЬ ОЧАГА НЕФТЕГОРСКОГО ЗЕМЛЕТРЯСЕНИЯ 1995 ГОДА (СЕВЕРНЫЙ САХАЛИН) НА ОСНОВЕ ГЕОДЕЗИЧЕСКИХ ДАННЫХ

The May 27, 1995 Mw=7.0 Neftegorsk earthquake occurred in the north of Sakhalin Island, rupturing the Upper Piltun fault, a secondary feature of the main Hokkaido-Sakhalin regional fault zone. The fault geometry, coseismic slip model, and Coulomb stress changes in the earthquake focal area were calculated based on a finite fault modeling. We used near-field coseismic offsets at 24 points obtained by comparison between predating triangulation and GPS observations, which were collected before and after the earthquake. Our slip distribution model shows two major slip patches. Larger slip asperity (amplitude up to 6.36 m) was characterized by right-lateral strike-slip movements, which correspond to focal mechanism of the earthquake, whereas the northern segment has reverse fault mechanism with maximum slip of 2.64 m. The fault length and width, average slip and stress drop values are estimated at 78 km, 28 km, 1.91 m and 11.3 MPa, respectively. The estimated release moment is approximately 7.49×1019 N∙m equal to Mw=7.2, which is larger than that reported by the USGS and GCMT but consistent with the values reported by other researchers. The coseismic Coulomb stress changes enhanced the stress by more than 10 MPa on the southern segment of the Gyrgylaninsky fault and middle section of the Hokkaido–Sakhalin fault. Seismic risks on the nearest faults cannot be ignored in the future despite the fact that the earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 occurred in 2010 near the Gyrgylaninsky fault. The recent GPS rates in the surroundings of the Neftegorsk surface rupture mean that the recurrence interval for similar earthquakes may be more than a thousand years.27 мая 1995 года на севере острова Сахалин произошло землетрясение Mw=7.0, в результате которого вскрылся Верхнепильтунский сейсморазрыв – вторичный сегмент главной Хоккайдо-Сахалинской разломной зоны региона. Геометрия сейсморазрыва, косейсмические смещения и изменение кулоновских напряжений в очаговой области рассчитаны на основе модели конечного источника. Для моделирования использовались косейсмические смещения 24 пунктов, которые получены путем сравнения данных триангуляции и GPS-наблюдений до и после землетрясения. Моделированием установлены два основных участка разрывных нарушений с различным распределением смещений. Больший участок (с амплитудой 6.36 м) характеризуется правосторонними сдвиговыми смещениями, направление которых соответствует механизму очага землетрясения, в то время как северный сегмент сейсморазрыва имел противоположную подвижку с локальной амплитудой смещения 2.64 м. Длина и ширина разлома, средние значения смещений и сброшенных напряжений составили 78 км, 28 км, 1.91 м и 11.3 МПа соответственно. Расчетный сейсмический момент 7.49×1019 Н·м соответствует магнитуде Мw=7.2 и несколько больше оценок USGS и GCMT, однако согласуется с данными других исследований. Косейсмическое приращение кулоновского напряжения более чем на 10 МПа выявлено в южном сегменте Гыргыланьинского и центральной части Хоккайдо-Сахалинского разлома. Несмотря на то, что на Гыргыланьинском разломе в 2010 г. произошло землетрясение магнитудой 5.8, сейсмическую опасность в районе исследований нельзя игнорировать в будущем. Величины современных скоростей GPS-пунктов в окрестности Нефтегорского сейсморазрыва свидетельствуют о том, что период повторяемости подобных землетрясений может составлять более тысячи лет

THE MARCH 25, 2020 M_W=7.5 PARAMUSHIR EARTHQUAKE AND ITS IMPACT ON RECENT GEODYNAMICS OF THE ADJACENT SECTION OF THE KURIL-KAMCHATKA SUBDUCTION ZONE

An intraplate tsunamigenic earthquake with МW=7.5 occurred on March 25, 2020 southeast of the Paramushir Island (Kuril Islands) beneath the outer slope of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. Since 1900, this earthquake has been the largest event for an 800-km long oceanic slope and a 300-km long segment of the Kuril seismofocal zone located near the epicenter. Sub-horizontal compression stresses generated in the earthquake source region were oriented across the seismofocal zone. A type of motion is represented by reverse faulting along the both nodal planes.The compressive stress state in which there occurred the Paramushir earthquake reflects the present-day geodynamics in the subduction zone near the hypocenter. The paper shows that the earthquake occurrence is due to a strong mechanical contact surface between the Pacific and North American lithospheric plates in the subduction zone. The analysis of coseismic displacement of the nearest Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) station served as confirmation of the determination of fault plane solution of the earthquake. A seismogenerating motion occurred along the plane oriented to the southwest and dipping towards the trench. For Finite fault source models, there were calculated the increments of the Coulomb stress in the subduction zone. For the main fault plane, the increment of the Coulomb stress in the interpolate contact area propagates to a depth of ~30 km and reaches 1 bar.Coseismic stress increment in the subduction zone at the northern flank of the Kuril island arc, which has a high seismic potential at the present stage of the tectonic cycle, increases the likelihood of the largest interplate earthquake occurrence therein

Educational – Methodical projects for students’ intellectual competences formation: The imperative goal of the educational process of the university

© 2016 Kutuev et al.The research urgency is caused by the tendencies of the modern information society which produces and consumes intelligence, knowledge and competences as the main educational product of labor market. These trends fundamentally alter the methodological basis of the educational process of the University, subjecting it to imperative goals: the intellectual development of the individual of the student, independent acquisition of knowledge and competences, development of intellectual competences to work with information in any media. In this regard, the focus of this paper is allotted to theoretical and methodical substantiation of the structure and content of students’ intellectual competences as a pedagogical category of the imperative goals of the University educational process. A leading research method is a project method which is focused on students’ intellectual competences’ formation in the process of creative activity products creation in the educational process. The paper reveals the discourse of the concept "intellectual competences"; defines the essence, structure and content of the training-methodical projects for students’ intellectual competences’ formation; on the basis of the results of the study substantiates the pedagogical algorithm of training-methodical projects for students’ intellectual competences formation. Productivity of the algorithm’s implementation is proven using the criteria: formation of knowledge (the content of the study course and related areas); comprehension of knowledge (the ability to restructure information, giving some interpretation of the main idea); the analysis of knowledge (the ability to compare the basic ideas of information, formulate conclusions supporting the assumptions with evidence, the ability to ask questions); knowledge synthesis (the ability to synthesize, develop logic of common reasoning, based on analyzed facts to create a final conclusion); assessment of knowledge (the ability to determine the accuracy and reliability of facts, to evaluate findings and conclusions). The paper can be useful to teachers, methodologists, managers of the universities
