Effective economic development of livestock is largely determined by the level of the state of dairy farming in the regions. In accordance with the state program of agricultural development and regulation of agricultur-al products, raw materials and food for 2008-2020, milk production in the country increase by 12.1%. The existing scale of production and food security of the population put forward the need for targeted regulation of agricultural policy at all levels of the industry, take urgent measures for the effective development of dairy cattle breeding. The most important strategic priorities for the development of agriculture, including dairy cattle, are the scientific and technological progress and innovation processes, allowing continuous technological and engineering modernization of all sectors of agricultural production. At the same time, the volume, quality and competitiveness of crop and livestock production significantly increase. The main producers of raw milk in the Sverdlovsk region in the long term are large agricultural enterprises, developing on the basis of innovation, with the use of labor-saving technologies. The effectiveness of this is proved by the results of the development work of several dairy complexes, which introduced the most advanced production technology of milk. Dairy cattle is one of the backbone industries of the agrarian economy. Dairy products occupy third place in the commodity structure of retail food trade. Given the wide distribution of daily proceeds from the sale of products, dairy cattle helps to a certain extent the current financial stability of agricultural enterprises, in fact, dairy farming is a kind of locomotive of development of the industry, consuming large amounts of crop production.

The paper focuses on some issues of basic physics for building acoustics that are not included (or just mentioned) in the general physics program. Taking into consideration the importance of building elements (thickness, material, presence of cavities) for acoustics environment formation the author considers the processes of acoustic waves interaction with solid bodies which affect people’s acoustic comfort in premises of various applications. The paper deals with phase and energy relations resulting from acoustic waves transfer from one medium into another with regard to sound environmental resistance. Reverberation processes affecting acoustic fields quality are also considered.

The main objective in assessing the comfort of living population is to determine the components (natural, social and economic) that define quantitative and qualitative indicators. Man is the main criterion for as-sessing the quality of environment and determine positive and negative features of it. But man himself has an impact on environment, forming the "man – environment" relationship. The paper discusses the depend-encies and influence of one of the components of environment in the comfort of living of population, as well as the determination of ecological and geochemical conditions of the study area in terms of their com-fort and compliance vital human needs.

The purpose of this study was to assess teachers’ working conditions within schools to help identify potential problems and develop strategies and policies to effectively address them. The setting for this study is 50 Texas high schools where 385 Texas high school science teachers participated in this study. Schools were identified using a two-stage stratified random sampling plan. Two explicit stratification variables were used (school size and minority student enrollment proportion) along with an additional implicit stratification method to account for the schools’ location. All principals (n=50; 100% return rate) completed a field-based semi-structured interview. Science teachers within the schools completed a 22-question survey (n=385; 89.6% return rate). In addition, master schedules and Academic Excellence Indicator System reports were collected. In addition, a working conditions rubric was developed and then analyzed using factor analysis. The rubric was applied to all 385 science teachers to obtain a working conditions score. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the frequency and percentages of working conditions components. This study suggests that science teachers experience significantly more difficult working conditions that depend on the size of their school, the teacher’s experience level, and minority student enrollment proportion of the school. In short, working conditions are a significant component within the teacher professional continuum. Educational institutions should examine the working conditions of all teachers more closely, particularly in the light of establishing professional cultures that promote collegiality and interactions among teachers and providing materials for teaching and learning.
