Purpose: evaluation of the quality of seed chimer and source forms before and after cryopreservation.Materials and methods. For research, the breed of Sussex chickens and Poltava clay. Using these rocks, chimeras were obtained by the method of transplantation of blastodermal cells. An assessment of the quality of sperm of the roosters was carried out under a microscope at a temperature of 42 degrees. At various times, the activity of native sperm and its concentration was determined. Cryoconservation was carried out in small granules. The defrosting of the granules was produced on a heated metal plate at a temperature of 60 ° C.Results. A comparative analysis of the volume of the ejaculate showed that Himer on average it was somewhat larger than that of the initial forms. The activity of sperms in native genital cells was sufficiently high in all studied samples, and was 80% or more. The concentration of sperm retained the same trend and practically did not differ from each other in all studied samples. The activity of frozen-fatty seed of the initial breeds and their chimer was significantly different. The maximum activity was observed in the Sussex breed and reliably below (p≤ 0.01) it has the remaining experimental groups. The activity of frozen-fatty seed turned out to be equal in chimeric organisms and Poltava clay, although Himer recipients were sussexes. It should be noted that the swing of oscillations according to the degree of activity of frozen-fatty seed in chimeric birds was significant (from 10 to 40 points), and the number of observations is small.Conclusion. The study assess the quality of seed chimer and the source forms before and after cryopreservation. It was demonstrated that after defrosting the activity of frozen-fatty seed of the initial rocks and their chimer was different.

Introduction. The article provides latest data on modern methods of treating rosacea. The results of own clinical observations of patients with moderate to severe papulopustular rosacea receiving combination treatment and a comparative analysis of the efficacy of various therapy regimens are presented.Objective of the study. The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the therapeutic efficacy of combination therapy using the ivermectin 1% topical drug combined with systemic therapy drugs (doxycycline, minocycline, isotretinoin).Materials and methods. We observed 37 patients with moderate to severe papulo-pustular rosacea subtype. The patients were divided into 4 groups (A, B, C, D). Patients in the control group received monotherapy with 1% ivemectin topical drug, patients in the other groups received combination therapy (1% ivermectin combined with low-dose doxycycline, minocycline and isotretinoin). The efficacy of the therapy was evaluated by measuring rosacea severity on the Scale for Diagnostic Assessment of Rosacea (SDAR), clinical manifestations according to the IGA (Investigator Global Assessment) criteria, and by assessing the patients' quality of life using the DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index) questionnaire before and after 3-month treatment.Results. The comparative analysis of changes in severity indicators of the skin process and quality of life in patients with moderate to severe papulopustular rosacea after topical and combination therapy showed that the results of the treatment in patients receiving combination therapy were more significant than those in the group receiving monotherapy.Conclusion. The concomitant use of 1% ivermectin and systemic drugs is most effective in patients with severe papulopustular rosacea subtype. The combination treatment tailored to the clinical forms and severity of rosacea allows to optimize the clinical results of the therapy, which significantly affects the patients' quality of life and opens up potential for an individual approach in the algorithms for the treatment of rosacea.

Many different factors influence the quality of software. Among the most important of these factors is software complexity. One way to improve software quality, therefore, is to minimize its complexity making it more understandable and maintainable. The design phase of the software development life cycle plays an instrumental role in fostering quality in software. Seasoned designers often use past design best practices codified in the form of design patterns to make their designs and the resultant code more elegant, robust, and resilient to change. Little work, however, has been done to empirically assess the quantitative impact of design patterns on software complexity. This research is an attempt to fill this gap. A comparative analysis of before and after versions of program pairs written without and with design patterns was performed for all twenty three GoF (Gang of Four) design patterns. These program pairs were collected (or, in some cases, developed) and compared with respect to their complexity and size. The results of this comparative analysis reveal that the cyclomatic complexity of the programs written using design patterns was less for most of the design patterns as compared to the programs written without using design patterns. However, the values of CK metrics, number of classes, and software size SLOC (Source Lines of Code) increased when design patterns were used.

In agile methods, one of the techniques for improving code quality is refactoring. This is a process that employs a number of techniques, modifying the code without changing its functionality, aiming to improve its transparency and reduce vulnerability. You can measure the improvement of the code using different code quality metrics. The paper presents an analysis of the effect of refactoring on static code quality on the example of the open-source project Scuba. The quality of the code was measured at two different points of software development - right before and after refactoring the code. The three most popular sets of object code quality metrics and the Sonarqube tool were used for the measurement. The research clearly demonstrates the significant improvement of static code quality as a result of refactoring.

The purpose of this study is (1) to analyze public perception on urban services before and after the expansion of the region, (2) analyze the level of people's satisfaction with urban services, and (3) analyze the determinants of the variables that determine what level of people's satisfaction urban services. This study concluded that first, after the expansion, the quality of urban services in South Tangerang City is better than before. Secondly, however, public satisfaction with the services only reached 48.53% (poor scale). Third, by using a Cartesian Diagram, the second priority that must be addressed are: (1) clarity of service personnel, (2) the discipline of service personnel, (3) responsibility for care workers; (4) the speed of service, (5) the ability of officers services, (6) obtain justice services, and (7) the courtesy and hospitality workers.

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam which has a function of faith, social and economic functions. Muslims who can pay zakat are required to give at least 2.5 per cent of their wealth. The problem of poverty prevalent in disadvantaged regions because of the difficulty of access to information and communication led to a gap that is so high in wealth and resources. The instrument of zakat provides a paradigm in the achievement of equitable wealth distribution and healthy circulation. Zakat potentially offers a better life and improves the quality of human being. There is a human quality improvement not only in economic terms but also in spiritual terms such as improving religiousity. This study aims to examine the role of zakat to alleviate humanitarian issues in disadvantaged regions such as Sijunjung, one of zakat beneficiaries and impoverished areas in Indonesia. The researcher attempted a Cibest method to capture the impact of zakat beneficiaries before and after becoming a member of Zakat Community Development (ZCD) Program in material and spiritual value. The overall analysis shows that zakat has a positive impact on disadvantaged regions development and enhance the quality of life of the community. There is an improvement in the average of mustahik household incomes after becoming a member of ZCD Program. Cibest model demonstrates that material, spiritual, and absolute poverty index decreased by 10, 5, and 6 per cent. Meanwhile, the welfare index is increased by 21 per cent. These findings have significant implications for developing the quality of life in disadvantaged regions in Sijunjung. Therefore, zakat is one of the instruments to change the status of disadvantaged areas to be equivalent to other areas.
