Anthony Seeger’s Contribution to Ethnomusicology: A Bio-Bibliography of The Why Suyá Sing’s (1987) Author

This research is a bio-bibliographical study of an American ethnomusicologist, Anthony Seeger. Issues discussed include seeking information about Seeger as an important figure, his contribution to scientific development, music education, music history, and basic knowledge of ethnomusicology. Since the data are in the form of written sources that not only come from his works but also the works of others who cite his works so that literature review is used as a research method to obtain answers to the problems raised. This study concluded that the anthropological approach greatly influenced the characteristics of Seeger’s field research in studying the Suyá’s music in the interior part of Brazil. The report from the research turned out to be an essential source for the development of Seeger’s theories of musical anthropology. From the success of Seeger, we could learn how important fieldwork is in ethnomusicology.
Geospatial distribution of boron in major banana growing soils of Theni district, Tamil Nadu

The present study was undertaken to assess the status of hot water soluble boron (HWS-B) in the major banana growing blocks of Theni district, Tamil Nadu. A total of 720 geo referenced surface (0-15 cm) and subsurface soil samples (15-30 cm) were collected from four blocks viz., Cinnamanur, Cumbum, Uthamapalayam and Periyakulam and analyzed for basic soil properties and hot water soluble boron. Simple correlation was worked out to ascertain the degree of relationship between soil properties and HWS-B content of soils of study area. HWS-B in the entire banana growing soils ranged from 0.11 to 3.56 mg kg, 0.03 to 2.28 mg kg in surface and subsurface soil samples respectively. The results revealed that 38.61 per cent of the soils were deficient in available B while 35.83 and 25.55 per cent soils were medium and high in available B in surface soil samples. In subsurface samples 42.50 per cent of the soils were deficient in B while 30.55 and 24.16 per cent soils were medium and high in available B. As per the nutrient index study, the soils of study area recorded marginal to high fertility rating for available B and the mean nutrient index value (NIV) ranged from 1.81 to 1.91 and 1.72 to 1.88 in surface and subsurface samples respectively. Among the soil properties, EC, SOC, clay, silt and CEC had a positive influence on the availability of B whereas, total sand, pH, CaCO3, Fe2O3, Al2O3 and R2O3 contents had negative impact on available boron. The step-wise multiple regression equation indicated that 46.20 per cent variation in available B was observed due to pH, EC, SOC, CEC, Fe2O3,Al2O3 and silt content in surface soil samples whereas in subsurface soil samples pH, EC, SOC, Al2O3, total sand and clay accounted 53.90 per cent variation in available B.

EFFECT OF USING MYCORRHIZAE AND BIOSTIMULANTS ON PRODUCTIVITY OF CANOLA UNDER SALT STRESS

Salinity stress is abiotic stress that has negative impacts on plant growth and productivity. For enhancing productivityunder salinity stress byintegrated use of mycorrhizae and biostimulants. To evaluate the effect of Mycorrhizae (Glomus macrocarpium) and Biostimulants including Humic acid at concentration 0.2% and Algal extract at concentration 3% on the growth parameters, yield and the oil components of canola plants (Serw-4), i.e. amino and fatty acids contents, as well as microbial activities in soil including total microbial counts, mycorrhizal infection %, number of spores and microbial enzymes (dehydrogenase and nitrogenase) in rhizosphere of canola under salt stress conditions. A field experiment was conducted at Ras Sudr Research Station, South Sinai, Desert Research Center (DRC), during two successive seasons. The obtained results showed the positive response of canola to mycorrhizal inoculation and biostimulants for most of the studied parameters. Also results indicated that plant inoculation with combined treatment of Mycorrhizae, Algal extract and humic acid showed the highest increases of growth parameters including plant height, fresh and dry weight), both seed yield/plant and oil yield on both seasons, as compared with the un-inoculated plants. Also, combined treatments recorded highest values for NPK concentrations in canola seed, shoots and soil. Also, reduce K/Na ratio even under salt stress. Addition of biofertilizers significantly improved microbial activities in the rhizosphere area of canola plants, represented by dehydrogenase andphosphatase enzymes, Total microbial counts, root mycorrhizal colonization % and number of spores. Mycorrhizae and biostimulants significantly improve amino acid in canola seed and fatty acid composition in canola oil. Combination of Mycorrhizae (Glomus macrocarpium) and biostimulants (humic substance and algal extract) might be the mostfavorable cropping strategy for canola production under salt stress conditions.
EFFECT OF NANO-MICROELEMENTS ON GROWTH, YIELD ANDESSENTIAL OIL PRODUCTION OF SWEET MARJORAM (ORIGANUM MAJORANA) PLANTS

A field experiment was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2017/2018 and 2018/2019, to evaluate the effect of nano micro-elements on improving the productivity of marjoram plant. The plants were monthly foliar sprayed with nano-Fe, nano-Mn and nano-Zn h at two levels 50 and 100 ppm. The data showed that plant height, number of branches number, fresh and dry weights of herb in second cut were higher than that of the first one. Treating plants with nanoZn at 100 ppm and nano-Mn at 50 ppm produced the tallest plants. Nano-Zn was the most effective on increasing formation of branches fresh and dry weights of herb, in both cuts of both seasons. All treatments of nano micro-elements increased the content chl. a, b and carotene and total carbohydrates, compared with the control and the high level (100ppm) was more effective than the low one and nano-Zn, followed by nano Mn were the most effective. As regards the essential oil % and oil yield, nano -Zn at 100ppm was more effective than nano-Fe and nano -Mn. Nano-Fe (100ppm) and nano-Mn (100 ppm), significantly increased the biosynthesis of the essential oils, in the second cut of the second season, over control. The essential oil yield (ml) per plant was greatly affected by the application of nano-Fe, Mn and Zn, in both cuts of both seasons. The maximum oil yields (ml) were recorded with nano -Zn (100 and 50ppm), followed by nano-Mn (100ppm) and nano-Fe at 100ppm was more effective than at 50 ppm. The non-sprayed plants showed the lowest essential oil % and yield. A total of 30 compounds of marjoram essential oil were identified by GC-MS (oil profile), the main constituents were; sabinene, a-terpinene, y-terpinene, p-cymene, terpinene, linalool, cis-sabinene hydrate, linalyl acetate, terpinen-4-ol and y-terpineol. The most prominent component was 1-4-terpineol (27.71 to 37.54%), in the first cut and from 28.15% to 36.38%, in the second one, the maximum % was recorded with nano-Mn (100ppm) in the first cut and nano Fe (50 ppm) in the second cut. The trans-sabinene hydrate ranged from 5.41to10. 80%, in the first cut and from 2.95 to 5.02 %, in the second one, the corresponding percentages of cissabinene hydrate were 13.02, 20.44, 12.22 and 14.27%, respectively. The treatment of nanoMn exhibited the highest % of these components. The highest sabinene % was found in plants treated with nano Fe (50 ppm) in the first cut and nano -Zn in the second one. Nano-Mn (50 ppm) gave the highest P-cymene % in the first cut and nano-Zn (100ppm) in the second one. Key word: Nano microelements growth, essential oil, marjoram.

Unravelling the Complexities of Knowledge - A qualitative study on how knowledge is managed and shared in knowledge-intensive organizations

This paper aims to investigate the knowledge sharing and management practices of knowledgeintensive organizations. The research was done through the form of a qualitative case study, examining two Swedish research institutes and conducting 18 interviews with employees and managers at both organizations. Additional data was collected through observations at one of the organizations and internal documentation from both organizations. The findings indicate that knowledge sharing within the organizations takes place through informal means and that the value of knowledge within both organizations is derived from the successful sharing of knowledge. The existence of a strong community of practice (CoP) was also identified at one of the organizations where it was passively nurtured by management, but not in the other organization which displayed more formalized attempts at CoP-creation. Finally, identity was identified as a factor playing an important role within both organizations, as well as an important factor for the success of the CoP at one organization. This paper argues that CoPs play an important role in successful knowledge sharing within knowledge-intensive organizations, and that CoPs can be strengthened by proper managerial nurturing and a strong shared organization and professional identity. This study contributes new insights into the field of knowledge management within the unique and seldom studied context of research institutes.
Aerosol-Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition of a Copper Gallium Oxide Spinel.

Copper-based spinel oxide CuGa2 O4 films have been deposited by means of a simple one-pot solution-based chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method. Aerosol-assisted (AA) CVD of copper(II) 2,2,6,6,-tetramethylheptan-3,5-dionate (thd), Cu(thd)2 and gallium(III) acetylacetonate, Ga(acac)3 , in toluene resulted in the formation of transparent films with a slight yellow tinge at 300-500 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that the films had grown by means of an island growth mechanism. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that CuGa2 O4 had formed along with copper(I) oxide and gallium(III) oxide was observed at the surface of the film. Annealing the films under a range of conditions (air, N2 , vacuum) resulted in oxidation and the formation of CuGa2 O4 and copper(II) oxide, as shown by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The films were further analysed by UV/Vis spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Similar AACVD depositions using copper(II) acetylacetonate, Cu(acac)2 , and Ga(acac)3 in a range of solvents only resulted in the formation of gallium oxide owing to the lower solubility of the copper precursor than the gallium complex. AACVD is dependent on the precursor solubility hence Cu(thd)2 is a superior precursor to Cu(acac)2 owing to its increased solubility.
DETERMINATION OF LAMBADA AND THIAMETHOXAM RESIDUES IN SQUASH FRUITS AND LEAVES

Lambda cyhalothrin and Thiamethoxam were used by the recommended rate, which were (1 lit / fedd.) on squash plants. The residues were determined after 1, 3 and 7 post treatments. The residual effects were determined on leaves, washed fruits and unwashed fruits. However the amount of these residues were as follows: 5.7, 3.2 and 6.5; 1.8, 0.8 and 3.1; 0.29, 0.04 and 0.37 for Lambda cyhalothrin at the three mentioned periods for the two tested seasons respectively. while, the residual effects were 4.6, 2.4 and 4.9; 1.2, 0.55 and 1.8 ; 0.18, 0.026 and 0.17 for Thiamethoxam at the same periods, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the figures of Lambda cyhalothrin residues in squash fruits and the efficiency of washing process. The role of washing with tap water in physical removing of Lambda cyhalothrin form squash fruits surfaces ranged between 5 to25 percent. Amount of thiamethoxam residues in unwashed fruits were 4.6, 1.2 and 0.18 after one hour, 3 and 7 days after spraying, respectively. Dissipation percentages were 15 and 26.1 % after the corresponding preceding periods from spraying. As well as results showed the residues of thiamethoxam in washed fruits were 2.4, 0.55 and 0.026 after one hour, 3 and 7 days after spraying, respectively. The loss percentages ranged between 22.9 to 4.7%.
Bio-efficacy of different insecticides evaluated against hopper, Amritodus atkinsoni Lethierry infesting mango

A field experiment was conducted at Anand Agricultural University, Anand during 2018 to assess the bio-efficacy of various insecticides against hopper Amritodus atkinsoni Lethierry infesting mango. Of the eight evaluated insecticides thiamethoxam 12.6% + lambda-cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC, thiamethoxam 25 WG and acephate 50% + imidacloprid 1.8% SP were found the most effective in reducing the incidence of A. atkinsoni. However, buprofezin 15% + acephate 35% WP, acetamiprid 20 SP and buprofezin 25 SC were found mediocre in their effectiveness. Maximum (145.44 q/ha) mango fruit yield was recorded from the trees treated with thiamethoxam + lambda-cyhalothrin which was at par with thiamethoxam (142.24 q/ha) and acephate + imidacloprid (137.45 q/ha). The highest (1: 14.84) NICBR was obtained with the treatment of thiamethoxam + lambda-cyhalothrin followed by thiamethoxam (1: 14.23), acephate + imidacloprid (1: 13.32) and buprofezin + acephate (1: 10.30).
On the Utility of Active Instance Selection for Few-Shot Learning

Few-shot learning aims to understand new concepts by transferring knowledge and utilizing very few randomly selected labeled samples. Instead of selecting these instances randomly, active learning provides a promising alternative. In this work, we investigate the effectiveness of actively identifying informative samples on the performance of few-shot learning models. We show that despite the fact that regular classiﬁcation tasks with larger amounts of labeled data beneﬁt from active learning approaches, these beneﬁts do not reliably generalize to the few-shot learning task. We characterize the best possible active few-shot learning performance, by introducing Single-Instance-Oracle and Batch-Oracle as active methods that assume access to labels of the unlabeled pool and the test set, and show via these “upper bounds” that we do not have a signiﬁcant room for improving few-shot models through actively selecting instances.
EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL OF PANICUM SARMENTOSUM FOR USE AS A FORAGE GRASS BASED ON ITS NUTRITIVE PROPERTIES

The study was conducted to explore the acceptability of Panicum sarmentosum herbages for ruminant feed. Its acceptability was evaluated by comparison of some chemical attributes of the herbage to those of Panicum maximum. These two grasses were grown in plots, 15 m2 each, under farmer coconut plantation at Lalombi village, Donggala Regency, in 2009. The plots were arranged by complete block design, represent 2 grass species with 10 replications, resulting 20 plots. Herbage samples were collected from the grasses of 42 days regrowth for lab analysis. Proximate analysis was applied to determine the crudeprotein, crude-fiber, ether-extract, and ash contents; ‘atomic absorption spectrophotometry’ was used to determine the Ca, K, Mg, Na, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn, and ‘auto analyzer’ was used to determine P content. Data were analyzed by ANOVA using a statistical package. The results of this study have shown that both species possess very similar in compared nutrient contents, i.e.: crude-protein, crude-fiber, crude-fat/ether-extract, ash and nitrogen-free-extract, macro-minerals (Ca, K, Mg, Na, and P), and micro-minerals (Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn). It can be concluded that P. Sarmentosum would be equally accepted for use as a forage crop.
NUTRITIONAL RESPONSES OF CITRUS ROOTSTOCKS TO SALINITY: PERFORMANCE OF THE NEW HYBRIDS FORNER-ALCAIDE 5 AND FORNER-ALCAIDE 13

This study assesses the nutritional behavior of the new citrus rootstocks Forner-Alcaide no.5 (FA-5) and Forner-Alcaide no.13 (FA-13) under saline conditions compared to that of their parents, Cleopatra mandarin (CM) and Poncirus trifoliata (PT). Eighteen month-old plants grafted with Valencia orange scions were used in the experiment. The plants were grown in a greenhouse and irrigated over an eight-week period with nutrient solutions to which different amounts of sodium chloride (NaCl) had been added, namely 0, 20, 40 and 60 mM. Relative growth and the uptake of major mineral elements [nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg)] were then determined. It was noted that the reduction in relative growth caused by salt treatment was greater in plants grafted on PT than those on FA-13, FA-5 and CM. Increasing the salt level in the growth medium reduced the absorption of the above mineral elements in all scion-rootstock combinations. However, this decrease was generally more marked in plants grafted on PT than in those on CM and FA-5. Plants on FA-13 showed an intermediate behavior. Positive correlations were found between growth and mineral element uptake by salt treated plants. Nutrient uptake was also plotted against chloride (Cl) and sodium (Na) concentrations in leaves and roots at increasing salt levels. This showed that N absorption was closely correlated (inversely) with Cl content in leaves, whereas K, Ca and Mg uptakes were correlated (inversely) with Na concentration in roots. This suggests that the accumulation of saline ions impacts growth and nutrient uptake by citrus plants.
