Biotechnology for increasing crop yields and obtaining high-quality organic plant products

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the global economy that ensures food security and public health by producing a wide range of products – sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. However, due to the pursuit of quantity and yield, the latest agricultural tools deplete the soil, lead to its erosion and deflation, which leads to a decrease in the safety and nutritional value of food. Existing farming strategies rely heavily on synthetic pesticides. However, these chemicals are often highly resistant in the environment, which leads to their accumulation in soil, water and food, causing damage to ecosystems and human health. Moreover, the excessive use of chemical pesticides has led to the formation of resistance of phytopathogens, disruption of the natural composition of the soil microbiota, which plays a major role in the process of soil formation, plant nutrition and soil sanitation. According to current data, >1.0 million hectares – annual losses of fertile soils; > 20 billion rubles. – damage from soil erosion and ~50% of the food produced reaches consumers in poor quality or does not reach it at all. These losses not only mean huge economic losses, but also represent a significant environmental burden based on the loss of resources spent. And a decrease in the nutritional value of the plant food obtained causes a shortage of appropriate nutrition elements in the population, which is one of the reasons for the deterioration of general health and the increase in the prevalence of so-called diseases of civilization. In such circumstances, it becomes obvious that there is a need to rethink the approach to agricultural production and move to more environmentally friendly solutions. One of them is the introduction of "green technologies" using environmentally friendly farming methods to improve soil and human health while protecting the environment based on bio-products with a reduction in the use of mineral fertilizers and synthetic pesticides. BashInkom Scientific and Innovation Enterprise LLC is one of the leading biotechnological enterprises in Russia, actively supporting an ecological approach to agriculture. It includes the development of biotechnologies aimed at minimizing negative environmental impacts and improving product quality, as well as education and awareness-raising among consumers and producers about the importance of environmentally sustainable practices in crop production. To solve the above problems, the company offers comprehensive biotechnologies for implementation into an integrated system of protection and nutrition of agricultural crops to reduce the pesticide load, preserve the soil microbiota and obtain safe high-quality products. They represent a system of application of biotechnological preparations, organomineral and mineral fertilizers for root and foliar top dressing and assessment of the mineral nutrition of the cultivated crop using a mobile laboratory at key stages of cultivation.

Support Ticket Categorization System

In today's dynamic business landscape, organizations are increasingly recognizing the pivotal role customer feedback plays in shaping the trajectory of their products and services. The ability to swiftly and effectively respond to customer input not only fosters enhanced customer experiences but also serves as a catalyst for growth, prolonged customer engagement, and the nurturing of lifetime value relationships. As a dedicated Product Manager or Product Analyst, staying attuned to the voice of your customers is not just a best practice; it's a strategic imperative. While your organization may be inundated with a wealth of customer-generated feedback and support tickets, your role entails much more than just processing these inputs. To make your efforts in managing customer experience and expectations truly impactful, you need a structured approach – a method that allows you to discern the most pressing issues, set priorities, and allocate resources judiciously. One of the most effective strategies at your disposal is to harness the power of Support Ticket Categorization – done in the modern day using Large Language Models and Generative AI. For the above mentioned Business Context I developed an advanced support ticket categorization system that accurately classifies incoming tickets, assigns relevant tags based on their content, and assigns priority and ETA for the tickets for prompt resolution.

Most of my business plans came from tragedies which made me seek ways to solve them for the next person. This one came about when my mother, siblings and I spent 6 hours with my father’s dead body because the paramedics arrived after 2 hours and mortuary van after 4 hours of him being announced dead. You might think this is a service delivery problem but this time it’s not. The reason for the delay is that you cannot navigate in my township of Mdantsane & other rural areas in East London with the worlds leading navigation apps like Google Maps & Waze because there are no street names in these areas and the numerical numbers go up to the 1000s, also the numerical sequencing of the houses is not in the commonly used sequence of “odds and evens” as used in the urban areas, which adds to the struggle and confusion of locating any household. We solved this problem by plotting all households coordinates and then build a prototype to illustrate its works. We added other features to make the app desirable to users and investors.

SHELL

Problem Description: One of the pressing challenges in architecture and urban design today is ensuring indoor environmental quality (IEQ) while simultaneously addressing energy efficiency and climate adaptation. Traditional building envelopes often struggle to balance these needs, particularly in diverse and changing climates. Static façades fail to adapt to outdoor environmental conditions, leading to increased energy consumption and discomfort for occupants, impacting both health and sustainability. Implemented Solution: SHELL addresses this challenge by offering a customizable, adaptive building envelope solution that dynamically responds to varying outdoor conditions. By leveraging interdisciplinary approaches—building physics, biomimicry, and computational optimization techniques—SHELL automates the design process for creating high-performance façades. SHELL’s adaptable units are designed to enhance IEQ by optimizing key environmental factors such as thermal comfort, daylight, and solar radiation. These units are created using a Multi-Objective Optimization Algorithm (MOEA) that balances the needs of different climates and building forms. SHELL’s envelope system can automatically adjust in response to environmental changes, shifting from the traditional "adjust to respond" to an "adapt to comfort" model. This solution has been successfully implemented on a prototype model and further tested in a real-world application on the TRIO skyscraper in Milan, demonstrating its capability to reduce energy demand and improve comfort levels. SHELL's adaptability ensures it can be applied in various geographical contexts and building types, making it a scalable and sustainable solution for climate-adaptive architecture.
