Keywords: Economic crisis; depressed state; rural territories; agriculture; market economy; diversification; competition.
The transition to market relations, the departure from the planned economy destroyed the economic entities of Russian Federation rural territories, and also caused new socio-ecological and economic problems. This is despite the fact that agriculture is a life-supporting sector of the national economy by its nature and the country food security depends on it. Today, one of the priority strategic tasks aimed at an unacceptable differentiation of rural settlement reduction is their diversification. It is carried out through the involvement of unused internal reserves in the turnover and sustainable development AIC branches on this basis, whose products always have an increased market demand. Under these conditions, the transition of rural areas to the rails of diversified development is of paramount importance, which will create the maximum possible diversity of economic forms and activities in the countryside, use the resources of the territories comprehensively, ensure rural employment and reduce social tensions.

Keywords: Water stress condition; morphological traits; Drought resistance; Mycorrhiza plant; Glomus fungi; Horticulture; Grapevine.
To determine effects of infected roots of seedless white currant grape cultivar with three species of Mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus fasiculatum, Glomus intraradices, and Glomus mosseae) on growth traits (branch length, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh and dry weight of branch, root and leaf) under the water stress conditions, this factorial experiment was implemented in the randomized complete block design with four treatments. The obtained results showed that the increase in drought stress led to a reduction in the factors including branch growth, number of leaves, leaf area, dry weight of root and branch. Inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi had a positive effect on the above-mentioned traits compared with control group; in this case, among fungal treatment traits, the Glomus fasiculatum had the highest positive effect on the dry weight of roots. All three funguses had an effect on the fresh weight of leaf. There was not any difference between irrigation levels of 25% and 50% under the water stress.

Keywords: Boundary state method; Torsion analysis; Anisotropic bodies; Saint-Venant problem; State spaces.
The work is devoted to the development of the boundary state method for the class of problems of torsion of cylindrical bodies with a nontrivial cross-sectional shape made from anisotropic materials. At the ends of the final cylinder, the forces are specified, resulting in torsion moments. The concepts of the spaces of internal and boundary states for an anisotropic medium are formulated. The theory of constructing bases of these spaces was developed using the general solution of Lekhnitsky. The basis of internal states includes the components of the displacement vector, the strain tensor, and the stress tensor. The basis of the boundary states includes the forces at the boundary of the cylinder, and the displacement of the boundary points. Scalar products are introduced in each of the spaces. In the basis of internal states, the scalar product expresses the internal energy of elastic deformation. In the basis of boundary states, it expresses the work of external forces. An isomorphism of the state space is established, which establishes a one-to-one correspondence between their elements. Isomorphism allows the search for the internal state to be reduced to the study of the boundary state that is isomorphic to it. The state spaces are orthogonalized and the desired state is decomposed into a Fourier series in terms of the orthonormal basis elements, where the given surface forces act as coefficients. The problem is solved for a cylinder whose cross section is in the shape of an I-beam made of anisotropic material. Signs of convergence of the solution are given. The main features of the problem solution are formulated. The results are presented in graphical form.

Life expectancy is considered as one of the most important variables affecting the success and adaptability of the environment in students. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the variables affecting life expectancy. A sample of 600 students from Shiraz University of Medical Sciences was selected randomly. Demographic, life expectancy, academic burnout questionnaire were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using SPSS®. The results of this study showed a significant negative relationship between life expectancy and academic burnout. So, with increasing life expectancy, academic burnout declines, and burnout increases with declining life expectancy. Burnout in male students is slightly higher than female students, but this difference was not statistically significant. Also, academic burnout was higher in dormitory students without a car and personal laptop than in other students, but this difference was not statistically significant. The results of one-variable analysis of variance showed that living place is one of the important factors related to the life expectancy of students. So that students who live with the family have a significantly higher life expectancy. Also, academic burnout in married students was significantly higher than single students. According to the findings of the study, the variables of academic burnout and economic, social factors are related to life expectancy. Therefore, effective planning to reduce academic burnout and improve socioeconomic conditions is important for authorities..

The important issue in gear fault diagnosis is to extract the dependable fault characteristics from the vibration signal of gearbox. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is a substantial time-frequency tool for adaptively decomposing vibration signals into a collection of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs); a fault feature can be extracted from one of IMFs to determine the fault location and fault level of a gear or bearing in the mechanical drive system. In this paper, a multi-harmonic vibration model of a gearbox with fault modulation is presented, a conventional demodulation analysis using Hilbert transform is introduced, and the EMD is illustrated. The EMD are applied to processing field vibration signals collected from a gearbox to detect a gear fault. The results show that EMD can extract the fault modulation information.

Keywords: Environmental concern; Leopold matrix evaluation; Environmental consequences; Environmental management and monitoring; Qualitative environmental impact assessment method.
Because of the negative effects of human activities on the environment, particularly in industrial sectors, paying attention to the environmental considerations in designing, implementing, establishing and utilizing industrial and civil projects has particular importance. Accordingly, oil industry, due to its key role in the national economy and global exchanges, and its producing substantial emission from the production stage to the extraction and refining of crude petroleum and consumption of oil products, has a special place. South Pars Special Zone (Assalooyeh) was established in 1998 in Iran, and, according to estimations, the construction of 28 gas phases has been planned. The main part of these establishments has been or is being constructed in Assalooyeh region. In the present article, the effects of the activities in South Pars Special Zone in two marine and terrestrial environments were studied using Leopold Matrix. The results of the matrix of evaluation of the environmental effects indicate that waste oil, the burning of separated gases in burners, the displacement of crude oil, etc. are among the most environmental consequences of the region, paving the way for water, soil, noise, and air pollution and its subsequent consequences. To control and eliminate harmful effects due to petroleum activities in the region, it is necessary to have environmental considerations in the process and to do reforming measures.

Medical students are prone to burnout due to high volume and stressful courses and also attending medical centers. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-esteem and field of study and its effect on academic burnout in students of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 600 students of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences selected by multi-stage cluster sampling in 2018. Data were analyzed by SPSS® software. The mean score of self-esteem in men was higher than that of women and the mean score of burnout in men was lower than that of women, but this difference was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in the mean of self-esteem among single and married students. Also, the level of academic burnout was significantly lower among married students than single students. There was a significant negative correlation between self-esteem and academic burnout. The results of the regression analysis showed that academic burnout is the only predictor of student self-esteem. The precise and principled planning for medical and paramedical students who are prone to severe academic burnout due to their very difficult educational situation can play an important role in increasing self-esteem in these students.

Keywords: Human resources management concept; Soft-methodology; Radical constructivism, Risk management; Management accounting; Bank lending.
The development of methodological foundations of the human resources management (HRM) concept in a modern organization is carried out via the philosophical approach. The appeal to Soft-methodology is caused by the need to solve new management problems, inevitably accompanying post-industrial society, from the position of flexible and rapid response to the challenges of the external environment. The identification of the essential features of radical constructivism as the epistemologically and ontologically most viable direction in the framework of the general constructive movement and the classical American version of pragmatism and their generalization in the context of the HRM concept allowed justifying the appeal to the integration of these approaches, implemented in pragmatic constructivism. In addition, the appeal to pragmatic constructivism as a methodological basis for the human resources management concept took into account the western practice of implementing this approach to risk management, management accounting, bank lending. It is established that pragmatic constructivism is a subject-based approach, indicating the subjective-value active perception and transformation of reality, aimed at achieving useful results for the organization. Subject-designer has certain value ideas about the world, based on their own experience and reflection on it and adjusted taking into account new impressions. In accordance with these guidelines, organizational reality is constructed, not reflected. The truth of this design determines its practical usefulness for the organization. Taking this into account, pragmatic constructivism is Soft-methodology of human resource management concept. This methodology is a flexible, instrumental, contextual practical use of the system of methods and principles, which is designed to ensure effective human management in the organization. The key principles of pragmatic constructivism as Soft-methodology are the principles of communication, design, criticality and creativity, and the meritocracy of ideas.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an appropriate approach for improving agility and increasing system efficiency. With respect to the wide scope of the organizational architecture projects' effects, it is advisable for the organization to be aware of its capability to accept this new approach before executing and carrying out the relevant huge expenses. The correct understanding of organizational readiness is crucial for the proper orientation of efforts and the formulation of appropriate strategies. The main objective of this research was to provide a SOA implementation model with comparative studies approach (A case study: Branches of Qarz-al-Hasaneh Mehr Iran and Resalat Banks). The pattern aimed to introduce the factors by which one could evaluate the readiness of an organization to implement a SOA. In the current research, the predictor variable included the factors relating to the SOA implementation and its components, and the criterion variable was the implementation of the SOA and its components. These factors, all, included the SOA acceptance scope, the servicing architectural maturity levels, SOA governance levels, Structural Health Assessment (SHM), management layers in the application of SOA and the use of middleware. Statistical population of this study was eventually consisted of 194 employees of Iran's Qarz-al-Hasanah Mehr Bank and 536 employees of Qarz-al-Hasanah Resalat Bank. In order to design the pattern, the components and attributes of the factors relating to the implementation of the SOA were extracted through setting up the questionnaire. The results were analyzed using SPSS®, and AMOS® software. The findings of the research indicated that considering the related factors, the presentation of the SOA implementation model was desirable in Qarz al-Hasaneh Mehr Iran and Resalat Bank.
