Effect of Drought on kharif Crop Production in Haryana During 1987-2016

Drought is a creeping natural disaster with long lasting effects on ecology as well as on the economy. Haryana state is considered the breadbasket of India, along with the Punjab state. The effects of drought (and mitigation of those effects) are therefore of considerable importance for the state. Haryana has a semiarid climate in the southwest and a Gangetic plain environment in the rest of the state. About 50 per cent of the state has moisture deficit. One of the reasons for adverse crop production in the state during June–September is the early withdrawal or late onset of monsoon rains, which contribute nearly 80 per cent of the state’s annual rainfall.
Mitigating infodemics: The relationship between news exposure and trust and belief in COVID-19 fake news and social media spreading

Introduction Misinformation surrounding COVID-19 poses a global public health problem that adversely affects governments’ abilities to mitigate the disease and causes accidental deaths and self-harm due to false beliefs about the virus, prevention measures, vaccines and cures. We aim to examine the relationship between exposure to and trust in COVID-19 news (from Television, social media, interpersonal communication) and information sources (healthcare experts, government, clerics) and belief in COVID-19 myths and false information, as well as critical verification practices before posting on social media. Methods We use a cross-sectional researcher-administered phone survey of adults living in Lebanon between March 27 and April 23, 2020. Results The sample included 56.1% men and 43.9% women, 37.9% with a university degree, 63.0% older than 30, and 7% with media literacy training. Those who trust COVID-19 news from social media [95%CI:(1.05–1.52)] and interpersonal communication [95%CI:(1.25–1.82)], and those who trust information from clerics [95%CI:(1.25–1.82)] were more likely to believe in COVID-19 myths and false information. University graduates [95%CI:(0.25–0.51)] and those who trust information from government [95%CI:(0.65–0.89] were less likely to believe in myths and false information. Those who believe in COVID-19 myths and false information [95%CI:(0.25–0.70)] were less likely to engage in critical social media posting practices. Only those who underwent media literacy training [95%CI:(1.24–6.55)] were more likely to engage in critical social media posting practices. Conclusion Higher education and trust in information from government contributed to decreasing belief in COVID-19 myths and false information. Trust in news from social media, interpersonal communication and clerics contributed to increasing belief in COVID-19 myths and false information, which in turn contributed to less critical social media posting practices, thereby exacerbated the infodemic. Media literacy training contributed to increasing critical social media posting practices, thereby played a role in mitigating the infodemic.

Does Industry Competition Influence Analyst-level Coverage Decisions and Career Outcomes?

We analyze whether industry competition is an important factor in analyst coverage decisions and whether analysts benefit from covering product market competitors. We find that analysts are more likely to cover a firm when this firm competes with and offers more similar products to the firms already covered by the analyst. We also find that analysts who cover product market competitors are more likely to obtain star status. These results are consistent with the importance of industry competition and product market knowledge obtained through covering product market competitors to analysts.

A note on PCBs and chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticide residues in water, fish and sediment from the OUfants River, Eastern Transvaal, South Africa

Water, sediment and fish samples were collected from the Olifants River and analysed for 10 chlorinated pesticides and 2 polychlorinated biphenyls (Arochlors 1254 and 1260) during December 1990. A total of 31 fish representing 3 species were collected from the Loskop and Phalaborwa Dams. Water and sediment samples were collected from 11 sampling sites on all major tributaries on the Olifants River.No polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or chlorinated pesticides were detected in the water phase and the concentrations in the sediment were too low toconfinn by mass spectrometry. Residues of DOT were found to be present in all the fish specimens collected. Levels of DDT were highest in Eutropius depressirostris and much lower in Oreochromis mossambicfis and Clarias gariepinus.
Подслизистые образования желудка: новый инструмент для дифференциальной диагностики гастроинтестинальных стромальных опухолей и лейомиом при компьютерной томографии с контрастным усилением

Aim. To identify criteria for differential diagnosis between gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and gastric leiomyoma (GLe) in contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT). Material and methods. We retrospectively analyzed CECT data of 65 patients with GIST and 19 patients with GLe. All cases were histologically and immunohistochemically proved. We evaluated tumor size, contours, growth type, extraorgan extension, invasion into the surrounding tissues, tumor calcification/ulceration/necrosis and regional lymph node status. Results. Among 84 patients divided into two groups (65 patients with GIST and 19 with GLe, respectively) we found that tumor localization, heterogeneous enhancement, and intratumoral necrosis may be utilized for differential diagnosis. The prognostic value significantly increased with the use of relative density ratio (tumor density/ aorta density or tumor density/portal vein density in the arterial, venous, and delayed phases, respectively) compared to tumor density alone. It was found that malignant GISTs are characterized by a higher relative density ratio than leiomyomas in the venous phase. Conclusion. We developed a prognostic model for differential diagnosis between GIST and GLe with a sensitivity of 90.8% and specificity of 89.5%. We created an online calculator that preoperatively determines probable tumor type ( http://medstatistic.ru/giso.html ).
Overcoming the Challenges of Collaboratively Adopting Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector

Despite the current popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) and a steady increase in publications over time, few studies have investigated AI in public contexts. As a result, assumptions about the drivers, challenges, and impacts of AI in government are far from conclusive. By using a case study that involves a large research university in England and two different county councils in a multiyear collaborative project around AI, we study the challenges that interorganizational collaborations face in adopting AI tools and implementing organizational routines to address them. Our findings reveal the most important challenges facing such collaborations: a resistance to sharing data due to privacy and security concerns, insufficient understanding of the required and available data, a lack of alignment between project interests and expectations around data sharing, and a lack of engagement across organizational hierarchy. Organizational routines capable of overcoming such challenges include working on-site, presenting the benefits of data sharing, reframing problems, designating joint appointments and boundary spanners, and connecting participants in the collaboration at all levels around project design and purpose.

The aim of present study was to investigate the response of vitamin E and selenium injection in local ram lambs on the hematological aspect, thyroid hormones, biochemical parameters, and growth rate. Twenty-four weaned (3-4 month old) ram lambs and averaged 20.827±0.5 kg in weight were used. The lambs were divided randomly into three groups (8 lambs each). 1st group was served as the control, the lambs were injected with 1.0 ml\head of physiological saline solution (0.9%), 2nd group (T1), lambs were injected intramuscularly with vitamin E 2.5 mg/kg of body weight and sodium selenite 25μg/kg of body weight and 3rd group (T2), the lambs were injected intramuscularly with vitamin E 5 mg/kg of body weight and sodium selenite 50μg/kg of body weight. The injection administered at weekly interval for 12 weeks. Results showed that T1 significantly increased packed cell volume (PCV %) and lymphocytes. The result of current study did not show a significant change between the test group in growth rate, ESR, thyroid hormones, biochemical parameter including (glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, cholesterol, and triglyceride and aspartate aminotransferase). In conclusion, injection of vitamin E and selenium has positive effect on some physiological parameters in local ram lamb.
Preemptive effect of amantadine as adjuvant in postoperative analgesia of ovaryhisterectomy in dogs

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto preventivo de la amantadina en el control del dolor postoperatorio en perras sometidas a ovariohisterectomia. Se asignaron al azar veinte perras a dos grupos de diez animales. El grupo de control (CONTROL) recibio capsulas de placebo por via oral y el grupo de amantadina (AMANTADINA) recibio 5 mg / kg de amantadina por via oral, una hora antes de la medicacion preanestesica. Todos los animales fueron premedicados con meperidina 3 mg / kg / IM, induccion con propofol y mantenimiento con isofluorano. Se registraron los parametros fisiologicos trans-anestesicos y se evaluo el dolor postoperatorio cada hora durante seis horas despues de la extubacion con la escala analogica visual interactiva y dinamica (EAVID), el umbral nociceptivo mecanico (UNM) y, cuando fue necesario, se administro. rescate analgesico (morfina 0,2 mg / kg (IM)). Durante el procedimiento quirurgico, no hubo diferencia significativa en las variables medidas entre los dos grupos. Con respecto a la evaluacion del dolor postoperatorio, hubo una diferencia significativa en EAVID (p = 0,004) entre los grupos, en los que AMANTADINA requirio menos rescates en comparacion con CONTROL. Y el UNM mostro valores mas altos en AMANTADINA con una diferencia significativa (p = 0.03) en comparacion con CONTROL. Los resultados sugirieron que la administracion de amantadina en el periodo preoperatorio disminuyo la necesidad de analgesicos en las perras sometidas a ovariohisterectomia electiva.
PHYSICOCHEMICAL, RHEOLOGICAL, AND SENSORY EVALUATION OF VOLUMINOUS BREADS ENRICHED BY PURSLANE (PORTULACA OLERACEA L.)

Portulaca oleracea (purslane) can be used as a vegetable and herb for medical and food products. The aim of this study was to investigate the psychochemical, rheological, and sensory properties of voluminous breads enriched by different amounts of purslane powder (0, 5, 10, and 15%) were compared to a control group. The results showed that, with an increase in the concentration of Purslane in samples, water absorption capacity, stability under mixer, and softening level increased. Adding 15% of purslane powder decreased farinograph quality number significantly. Addition of purslane powder also improved resistance to extension and decreased extensibility, energy, and viscosity of the dough significantly. In terms of sensory properties, the sample with 15% purslane powder obtained the minimum score and other samples had acceptable conditions in terms of different sensory properties like taste, texture, color, odor, and general acceptability. In summary incorporation of purslane in voluminous bread is feasible and the optimum percentage of the purslane powder is 10% for the best acceptance in sensory evaluation.
Applying Neural Importance Sampling to gluon scattering

In this talk we report on a novel approach for the integration of scattering cross sections and the generation of partonic event samples in high-energy physics, originally presented in [1]. It is based on an importance sampling algorithm which includes the use of neural networks in order to overcome typical shortcomings of conventional approaches. At the same time, a potential pitfall of neural networks in the context of phase-space sampling, namely mappings that are non-bĳective after trainings with ﬁnite data sets, is avoided by employing the technique of Neural Importance Sampling. With this, full phase-space coverage and the correct reproduction of the target distribution is guaranteed even for limited training statistics. We study the performance gains of our implementation for a prototypical high-energy physics example, namely gluon scattering into three- and four-gluon ﬁnal states.
An Analysis of Livelihood Security of Scheduled Caste (SC) Farmers through Integrated Farming System (IFS) in Bengaluru Urban District

Agriculture has always been considered as the backbone of our country. In India 58 per cent of rural population is engaged in agriculture and 80 per cent of population lives directly or indirectly on income derived from agriculture (Harshitha et al., 2018). The operational farm holding in India is declining and over 85 million out of 115 million are below the size of 1.00 ha (Manjunatha et al., 2014). Due to ever increasing population and decline in per capita availability of land in the country, practically there is no scope for International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 12 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Nowcasting Influenza Using Google Flu Trend and Deep Learning Model

Understanding how Influenza-like Illness (ILI) spreads has a substantial societal impact on improving overall human well-being and effective government response. The accurate estimation of ILI occurrences in a timely manner helps to alert and make meaningful intervention decisions that could save lives. In this article, I leverage Google Flu Trends (GFT) data derived from Google general search queries in the United States during 2003-2015 to now cast the occurrence of ILI collected from CDC using various state-of-the-art deep learning models with different neural network architectures, such as a convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), and sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) models. The correlations between GFT and ILI data are first analyzed through the stationary test using classical time-series forecast models such as ARIMA and the recently developed Prophet model. Then, the deep learning models are used to predict the ILI occurrences at both the national and state levels. The results show that deep learning models are capable of now casting the ILI occurrence with good accuracy. Also, the model performance varies at the state level, the signaling occurrence of ILI may be impacted by idiosyncratic factors pertaining to the state and beyond what GFT may capture. Overall, this paper adds to the existing literature on using real-time alternative data sources such as general search queries to estimating ILI occurrence, which sheds light on achieving effective surveillance to achieve a better social good by preventing another pandemic.
Effects of Rejection Sensitivity on the Development of Anxious-Depressive Attack in Patients with Social Anxiety Disorder

Anxious-depressive attack (ADA) is a recently proposed symptom cluster consisting of sudden intense feelings of distressing emotions with no direct psychological cause. It is characterized by intrusive rumination of mainly regretful memories accompanied by a violent emotional storm, resulting in coun-termeasures including acting out behaviors. ADA seems to manifest in various anxiety and affective disorders as well as some personality disorders, but may have been overlooked. A previous study showed that patients with ADA were more socially anxious and more depressive than those without ADA, regardless of their diagnoses. Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is one of such disorders with a high prevalence of ADA (44.4 ％ ). According to clinical reports, patients with SAD appear hypersensitive to rejection or criticism. The present study examined the relationships among ADA, social anxiety, depression and rejection sensitivity (RS) in patients diagnosed with SAD using structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings showed that RS directly significantly affects ADA, as well as indirectly via depression and social anxiety. Depression had a direct, positive effect on ADA, whereas social anxiety had an indi-rect effect on ADA via depression. The present study suggests that RS may contribute to the development of ADA in patients with SAD.
Garbage Classification Detection Based on Improved YOLOV4

As the rate of garbage generation gradually increases, the past garbage disposal methods will be eliminated, so the classification of garbage has become an inevitable choice. The multi-category classification of garbage and the accuracy of recognition have also become the focus of attention. Aiming at the problems of single category, few types of objects and low accuracy in existing garbage classification algorithms. This paper proposes to use the improved YOLOV4 network framework to detect 3 categories, a total of 15 objects, and find that the average accuracy is 64%, Frame per second 92f/s. It turns out that the improved YOLOV4 can better detect garbage categories and is suitable for embedded devices.
