The aim of the study is to substantiate methodological approaches to the agricultural educational program development on the basis of a modular-competence-based approach, which provides training for the experts of the agricultural industry, capable of implementing a federal scientific and technical program in the future for the development of agriculture in Russia, taking into account the requirements of professional standards. Professional and public accreditation of agricultural educational programs will allow for an external examination of the educational program implementation level and quality in accordance with approved professional standards and develop recommendations aimed at student training level improvement. The study defines the role of professional and public accreditation provision in the interaction between the labor market and the vocational education system. The authors substantiated the modular-competence-based approach to the development of educational programs that contributes to human capital quality improvement in agriculture. In this paper, an algorithm has been developed to expert training quality improvement. In general, the result of the work will contribute to the training of personnel for the industry and will ensure the achievement of a balance of qualifications between the labor market and agricultural education.

There is a problem of vegetable protein deficiency for feed, processing and nutrition in many countries: to produce or import? White lupin cultivation in Russia is important due its high potential seed and protein yield. The breeding program for creating cultivars of white lupin with a determinant type of growth and the study of the dynamic parameters of the yield formation was carried out in many years of research in the northern part of the Central-Chernozem region of Russia. Experiments were conducted at the experimental field in Tambov region. Cultivar is one of the main components of resource-saving technologies. For the first time in Russia, under these conditions, cultivars of white lupin with a determinant type of growth were created. Among them are Start, Gamma, Delta, Dega, Deter1, Timiryazevskiy with different plant architectonics. Care adapted to the conditions of the region, ripen steadily, and grain yield of 3-5 ton ha-1. Agrocenosis is a photosynthetic system functions from emergence to beginning of maturity including four biologically distinct periods of crop formation: I- emergence - the beginning of flowering; II- flowering and pod formation; III- pod growth; and IV- seed filling. The length of the periods and the dynamic parameters of the yield formation of white lupin for each period were determined. Among the parameters were the leaf area index (LAI), the total dry matter accumulation (TDM), the crop growth rate (CGR), leaf area duration (LAD), net assimilation rate (NAR), and yield components. Period II was critical in yield formation. Variability of parameters was determined in connection with weather conditions and seed yield. The conducted studies made it possible for white lupin cultivars with determinant type of growth to find out dynamic pattern of yield formation and to estimate the degree of effect of weather conditions on dynamic parameters and seed productivity.

Four new triterpenoids with alkyne moieties have been synthesized by the proposed procedure; among them, 3β,28-dihydroxy-29-norlup-20(30)-yne has demonstrated antiviral activity against papilloma virus and HCV replicon. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The title compound, C34H56O5, an oleanane triterpene, is a key intermediate in the synthetic route from betulin to 18(19)-oleanene triterpenoids. In the molecule, all bond lengths and angles are normal. The hydroxy groups are involved in intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into zigzag chains running along the a axis. The crystal packing is further stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The title compound, C29H43NO4, a seco-lupane triterpene, was synthesized from naturally occurring betulin. In the molecule, all bond lengths and angles are normal. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds and ordinary van der Waals interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
