A Bleak Future Awaits Nurses in Traditional Employment Worldwide: Insights on Practice and Career Alternatives
Authors: Tracey McDonald
Published: August 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has tested world leaders’ capacity to manage, and they have been found wanting. Traditional, institutionalised health services will shortly be unsustainable due to unconvincing leadership and inept managerial capacity to identify and alleviate risks to nurses and other workers on the pandemic front line. The aim of this paper is to share insights on nursing career and practice options to provide nursing services to our communities; and canvass anticipated resistance to nurses choosing autonomous practice models in independent business approaches to health care provision.From analysis of the evidence and literature, it was found that the systematic ill treatment and mismanagement of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic is appalling. Nurses are exiting hospitals and health systems across the globe. Some are leaving nursing itself. On any measure, the situation is a wholesale disaster and a wanton waste of skilled and dedicated people. When hospital and health systems become too toxic for nurses and nursing services to function fully and thrive, and when government officials and politicians trivialise and disrespect the work and value of nursing, it is time for nurses to consider other employment and practice model options. In conclusion, A groundswell of support is needed for nurses to remove normalised policies that bind them to medical control, and to break medical monopoly on universal health insurance funding to permit access by nurses to sufficient specified items to earn a wage as independent practitioners.The implications for nursing and health policy makers are: nurse safety and practice integrity need to be central to policy deliberations that affect spending on risk management and reduction. Policies that put nurses and patients at increased risk encourage those with a choice, to abandon unsafe health system employment. Administrative accountability for staff and patient safety affected by their decisions has long been neglected in health systems around the world. It is time for a reckoning.

For a graph \(G\) and a positive integer \(k\), a royal \(k\)-edge coloring of \(G\) is an assignment of nonempty subsets of the set \(\{1, 2, \ldots, k\}\) to the edges of \(G\) that gives rise to a proper vertex coloring in which the color assigned to each vertex \(v\) is the union of the sets of colors of the edges incident with \(v\). If the resulting vertex coloring is vertex-distinguishing, then the edge coloring is a strong royal \(k\)-coloring. The minimum positive integer \(k\) for which a graph has a strong royal \(k\)-coloring is the strong royal index of the graph. The primary emphasis here is on strong royal colorings of trees.

Perioperative Management of Oral Anticoagulation: A Real-World Observational Study
Authors: Lo Sapio Patrizia
Published: August 2023

Aims:Using a retrospective study, we evaluated: the risk of thromboembolism and bleeding following the perioperative management of oral anticoagulants (OACs) and the adherence to the guidelines by the clinicians involved. Methods:Six hundred procedures, 120 for each OAC were collected from a Central Tuscany Surgery Department database. The endpoints were:the 30-days rate of arterial, venous thrombotic events and bleedings, classified by ISTH, and their association with adherence to EHRA guidelines. Results: Three hundreds and seventy one procedures(61%) were at high risk of bleeding. Until 30 days of follow-up, thrombotic events occurred in 4 patients, 7% total bleedings;12.8% of bleedings occurred in inappropriate heparin bridging and 5.7% in patients without bridging (p <.016). Four hundred and forty two (73.7%) procedures were performed in complete adherence to guidelines. At the multivariate analysis inappropriate bridging (HR=2.3;95% CI 1.1-4.7; p=.021) and urologic interventions (HR=2.3;95% CI 1.2-4.4;p=.01) were independent risk factors for bleeding events. Conclusions: Bleedings were significantly correlated with inappropriate heparin bridging even if occurred also in correct management of OACs, being related to the major surgery itself.
Clinical and Post-Surgical Features and Outcomes in Post-Surgical Patients with Aortic arch Interruption at a Specialty Hospital in Bogotá Between 2006 and 2019. Retrospective Multivariable Analysis
Authors: Rios Dueñas Edgar Giovanny
Published: August 2023

Introduction. Interruption of the aortic arch due to absence of tissue between the ascending and descending portions of the aorta is a pathology of low incidence, yet it has a mortality rate of nearly 90% within the first year of life. Surgical intervention is aimed at re-establishing continuity of the vessel, as well as correcting associated lesions through closure of IVC or performing a pulmonary artery cerclage correction. The mortality is 18% to 42%. The survival rate is close to 73% at one month, 65% at one year and 63% at 3 years after surgery. Materials and Methods. Review of Cardiovascular Surgery database between 2006 and 2019, identifying patients who underwent surgery due to aortic arch interruption. Results. In the last 4 years, an institutional technique was introduced, using pericardium tissue for reconstruction and partial junction of the descending aorta with the arch through advancement of the arterial cannulae towards the brachiocephalic trunk and has been positively associated to brain protection. Since, results have improved: lower tissue traction, greater amplitude of the neoarch and better neurological outcomes have been achieved. The objective of this paper is to identify the most important factors that ultimately determine prognosis and survival of patients with these pathologies, as well as to describe results of the implemented technique. Discussion. Aortic arch surgery is considered to be highly complex. Results yielded in this research showed a high mortality within the first years, which decreased into a similar rate to that of medical literature. The main factors associated with complications identified were a late diagnosis and malnutrition. In addition, morbidity and mortality rates were similar to those reported worldwide.
A Scoping Review on The Use of Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Refractory Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Authors: Madsen Härdig Bjarne
Published: August 2023

Aim of the review: To provide an overview of studies that have published data regarding region and population size, procedure location, team composition, inclusion and exclusion criteria, outcome parameters, and cost–benefit analyses on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Data sources: A structured systematic literature search of articles published prior to April 27, 2021, was performed in online databases (PubMed, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov, the EU Clinical Trials Register, and Cochrane Library). Results: Sixty-three articles were included based on predefined eligibility criteria. The included articles were published between 2011 and 2021, with the highest number of articles in 2020 and 2021 (50%). Of the 58 articles that reported data on organisational topics, 47 reported transporting the patients to the hospital for cannulation, 10 reported initiating extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) on-scene, and one reported doing both. The most common inclusion criterion was a lower age limit of 18 years (in 86% of the articles). Other inclusion criteria were witnessed collapse (67%) and initial ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia (43%), asystole (3%), pulseless electrical activity (5%), pulmonary embolism (2%), and signs of life during CPR (5%). The most common exclusion criterion was a do-not-resuscitate order (38%). Of the 44 studies reporting outcomes, 77% reported survival to hospital discharge and 50%, a cerebral performance category score of 1-2. Other outcome parameters were sparsely reported. Conclusion: There is a variation in regional size, team composition, inclusion and exclusion criteria and reported outcomes. These discrepancies make it challenging to determine how to effectively use ECPR.

Rebar Cross-section Detection Based on Improved YOLOv5s Algorithm
Authors: Zheng Yanmei , Zhou Guanghui , Lu Bibo
Published: August 2023

Rebar is an indispensable material in the construction industry and the counting of rebar is a very important part of the production, transportation, and use process. Due to the problems of dense cross-sections and mutual adhesion of cross-sections boundaries for bundles of rebar, most of the rebar is still counted manually. To address the above problems, this paper proposes an improved YOLOv5s-based rebar cross-section detection method, which aims to solve the problems of missed and false detection in dense small object detection. The K-means algorithm is used to re-cluster the anchor box size; the ECANet (Efficient Channel Attention Net) module is integrated with the backbone network to adjust the attention weight of the feature map and improve the feature extraction ability of the network; To address the problem that small object with a scale smaller than 8×8 in the network cannot be detected, a new detection layer scale is redesigned by fusing the high-level semantic information with the low-level features to reduce the network's miss detection rate for small object. Experiments were conducted on a homemade rebar cross-section dataset with mAP0.5 of 94.3%, which is 6.2% improvement compared with the baseline model YOLOv5s. The improved network was able to better identify the cross-sectional features of the rebar, thus significantly reducing the leakage rate in rebar counting detection.
Salient object detection algorithm based on diversity features and global guidance information
Authors: Shao Fan , Wang Kai , Liu Yanluo
Published: August 2023

Aiming at the problems of traditional salient object detection methods such as fuzzy boundary and insufficient information integrity, a salient object detection network composed of feature diversity enhancement module, global information guidance module and feature fusion module is proposed. Firstly, asymmetric convolution, cavity convolution and common convolution are spliced to form a feature diversity enhancement module to extract different types of spatial features corresponding to each feature layer. Secondly, the global information guidance module transmits the information captured by the coordinate attention mechanism to each feature layer through the global guidance stream, so as to learn the semantic relationship between different feature layers and alleviate the dilution effect; Finally, the feature fusion module receives the high-level features output from the previous layer, the low-level features of the corresponding layer and the global context information generated by the global information guidance module, and the cascade feature diversity enhancement module gradually integrates the multi-level features to refine the saliency feature map. Comparative experiments on five public data sets show that this method can achieve the highest values of 0.959 and 0.030 in F-measure and MAE. Compared with other seven advanced algorithms, it has better detection performance.

Catalytic conversion of biomass
Authors: Xu Hao , Li Hao
Published: August 2023

Resource scarcity and increasing climate change have brought attention to the need for sustainable and renewable resources. Biomass is an earth-rich material with great potential as a feedstock for alternative fuels and chemicals. In order to utilize biomass efficiently, such biopolymers must be depolymerized and converted into key structural units and/or target products, and biological or chemical catalysts are often used for fast and energy-efficient reactions. This paper presents recent advances in the catalytic conversion of biomass into biofuels and value-added products. Hydrodeoxygenation is an important and unique method for converting biomass and biomass-derived oxygenated chemicals into high value-added chemicals and fuels. However, the synthesis of catalysts with excellent hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation performance at the same time remains a great challenge.
Discovering and Assessing Enterprise Architecture Debts
Authors: Daoudi Sara , Larsson Malin , Hacks Simon , Jung Jürgen
Published: August 2023

The term Enterprise Architecture (EA) Debts has been coined to grasp the difference between the actual state of the EA and its hypothetical, optimal state. So far, different methods have been proposed to identify such EA Debts in organizations. However, these methods either are based on the transfer of known concepts from other domains to EA or are time and resource intensive. To overcome these shortcomings, we propose an approach that uses an interview format to identify EA Debts in enterprises and a method that allows a qualitative assessment of identified EA Debts. The proposed approach is supported by the designed framework that consists of an interview format and a process for determining thresholds of certain EA Smells.
Trustworthiness Requirements in Information Systems Design: Lessons Learned from the Blockchain Community
Authors: Rychkova Irina , Ghriba Marwa
Published: August 2023

In modern society, where digital security is a major preoccupation, the perception of trust is undergoing fundamental transformations. Blockchain community created a substantial body of knowledge on design and development of trustworthy information systems and digital trust. Yet, little research is focused on broader scope and other forms of trust. In this study, we review the research literature reporting on design and development of blockchain solutions and focus on trustworthiness requirements that drive these solutions. Our findings show that digital trust is not the only form of trust that the organizations seek to reenforce: trust in technology and social trust remain powerful drivers in decision making. We analyze 56 primary studies, extract and formulate a set of 21 trustworthiness requirements. While originated from blockchain literature, the formulated requirements are technology-neutral: they aim at supporting business and technology experts in translating their trust issues into specific design decisions and in rationalizing their technological choices. To bridge the gap between social and technological domains, we associate the trustworthiness requirements with three trustworthiness factors defined in the social science: ability, benevolence and integrity.
DLT Compliance Reporting
Authors: Jensen Johannes , Axelsen Henrik , Ross Omri
Published: August 2023

Today, local financial institutions are responsible for submitting compliance reporting data to the supervisory authorities. This is commonly referred to as the ‘push model’. The increasing complexity of reporting obligations often results in delayed reporting which delivers a fragmented and incomplete macroeconomic overview of the financial sector. Working with a group of nine representatives from industry and regulatory authorities, we employ the design science research methodology (DSR) in the design of an artefact, enabling the automated collection and enrichment of transactional data from DLT ledgers. Our findings demonstrate how the adoption of DLT in the financial sector will facilitate the automation of compliance reporting through a ‘pull-model’, in which regulators can access compliance data in near real-time and stage aggregate macroeconomic risk exposures for the eurozone. The findings contribute practical insights to the discourse on design-driven research on DLT and blockchain technology.

Authors: De Oliveira Raimundo Correa , Rocha Angela Machado , Imbiriba Katya Nayara Martins , Lopes Alan Nascimento
Published: August 2023

Dados da OMS apontam que mais de 1,5 bilhão de pessoas no mundo vivem com perda auditiva, sendo que até 2050 esse número pode chegar a 2,5 bilhões. No Brasil, 2,3 milhões de pessoas são deficientes auditivos. Atualmente existem tecnologias assistivas que proporcionam maior autonomia e inclusão social às pessoas com deficiência auditiva, além de o SUS oferecer assistência integral a essa população a partir de procedimentos cirúrgicos e ambulatoriais de reabilitação. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo consiste em um estudo ecológico transversal de série temporal, o qual tem como objetivo caracterizar os procedimentos cirúrgicos e ambulatoriais para reabilitação de pessoas com deficiência auditiva realizados na rede pública de saúde entre os anos de 2010 e 2022, a partir de dados secundários do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares e Ambulatoriais do SUS. Observou-se que, dentre as opções de reabilitação, o Aparelho de Amplificação Sonora Individual é o mais utilizado, com uma média de 159,6 mil atendimentos anualmente. Os procedimentos cirúrgicos crescem em número a cada ano, contudo, a pandemia de Covid-19 impactou na utilização desses serviços. O número de procedimentos realizados por região do país aponta a falta de acesso a esses serviços em regiões mais afastadas. O uso de AASI é predominante entre as pessoas com mais de 65 anos, e o Sistema FM mais utilizado por indivíduos entre os 5 e 14 anos, coincidindo com a idade escolar.

Published: August 2023

Com o advento do movimento da Nova Gestão Pública, que promoveu mudanças nos modelos de gestão adotados nas organizações públicas do Brasil, os princípios constitucionais da accountability, acabam por ganhar relevância dentro das Instituições de Ensino Superior. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo verificar de que forma uma instituição de ensino superior promove o princípio constitucional da accountability, no âmbito da transparência. Para isso foi utilizada como técnicas de coletas de dados a análise documental do Relatório de Gestão Anual de uma Universidade Pública Federal, lócus da pesquisa e o Relatório Bianual da Corregedoria, associadas à entrevista com os gestores responsáveis pela elaboração dos referidos documentos. Os principais resultados identificaram deficiências relativas à ausência de gráficos e tabelas que demonstrassem a evolução histórica de indicadores, ausência de links de acesso à normas direcionadoras, ausência de demonstração da influência dos indicadores de risco, de gestão e de ouvidoria nas decisões superiores e nos objetivos estratégicos do órgão, fragilizando assim o atendimento por uma Instituição de Ensino Superior do princípio constitucional da administração pública, em especial a accountability.

Published: August 2023

A zona costeira paraense é um espaço complexo e dinâmico que demonstra que a Amazônia possui diversas particularidades, sendo mais apropriada a abordagem que se a refere à existência de várias “Amazônias”. A zona costeira abriga, entre outros o ecossistema de manguezal, fundamental para a dinâmica natural entre terra, água e ar, e cujo uso é estruturante para as comunidades locais. Porém, a questão do risco socioambiental é uma problemática que tem se agravado nas últimas décadas, quando os manguezais passaram a ser alternativas de ocupação para aqueles que não dispõem de recursos para acessar áreas com melhores condições habitacionais. Desse modo, este artigo visou identificar as principais vulnerabilidades e riscos causados pela expansão urbana sobre os manguezais, especificamente nos municípios de Marapanim e Maracanã, na zona costeira paraense. Para isso, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico-documental e viagens a campo, onde foram realizadas observações. Com isso, os principais riscos verificados foram o aumento da erosão costeira e das ressacas do mar. Quanto às vulnerabilidades identificadas, estas foram divididas em vulnerabilidades para a biota e para a sociedade. As principais vulnerabilidades para a biota foram a diminuição da disponibilidade de alimentos e a redução ou perda total de habitats. E para a sociedade, as principais vulnerabilidades identificadas foram a diminuição dos estoques de recursos pesqueiros e a redução de espaços habitáveis. Logo, essa complexa problemática requer uma gestão bem mais participativa e simétrica, de maneira a conciliar a proteção à vida e um ordenamento territorial que não subordine os interesses da sociedade local a ordens exógenas.

A alimentação é um fator necessário para a vida humana, sendo um direito dos cidadãos. No entanto, nem todos tem exercido esse direito, a fome a cada dia assombra muitas famílias, principalmente no período de pandemia da Covid-19. Existe um outro fator importante a ser considerado no que se refere a saciar a fome da humanidade, é a produção de alimentos saudáveis disponíveis para população. Diante disto, esta pesquisa tem por finalidade avaliar o índice da segurança alimentar e nutricional dos agricultores orgânicos da Zona da Mata Setentrional. A metodologia utilizada foi a Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar (EBIA), e aplicou-se um formulário com 14 perguntas, de acordo com a idade da composição familiar. Neste formulário são feitas 8 perguntas para famílias que só tem indivíduos maiores de 18 anos e 14 para as famílias com indivíduos menores de 18 anos, pois as perguntas sucessivas a questão 8 são direcionadas aos indivíduos menores de 18 anos, o que não se aplica aos grupos familiares que não tenham indivíduos com esta faixa etária. A coleta dos dados é feita da seguinte forma: duas etapas com intervalo de 30 dias de uma para outra. Como principais resultados identificou-se  índices de insegurança alimentar leve e moderado, sendo o índice de segurança alimentar maior em ambas as entrevistas. A pesquisa mostra que mesmo diante da apresentação de níveis de insegurança alimentar do grupo, o envolvimento com a agricultura orgânica e os espaços de comercialização contribuíram para a promoção da segurança alimentar deste público.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar a estrutura e tendências dos currículos dos cursos de pós-graduação stricto sensu a nível de mestrado em Contabilidade no Brasil. Para a realização do trabalho foi feita uma pesquisa quali-quantitativa em que foram identificados e analisados os currículos dos 30 programas existentes no Brasil e, na sequência, entrevistaram-se nove coordenadores destes programas para averiguar qual a sua percepção sobre o tema. Os resultados demonstram: o foco principal dos programas é a pesquisa, já o ensino possui papel secundário e não há ênfase na extensão dentro dos programas estudados; o principal objetivo dos programas é a formação de pesquisadores de qualidade, disciplinas voltadas ao ensino são oferecidas em número reduzido e geralmente optativas; as estruturas curriculares dos programas estudados, principalmente aqueles constituídos em período mais recente, são sensivelmente impactadas pelos métodos e métricas de avaliação da CAPES, que é apontada como um dos fatores para que o ensino não chegue ao protagonismo nos programas estudados. Ainda, há três fatores que direcionam as tendências dos programas estudados: a internacionalização, a interdisciplinaridade e o desenvolvimento de pesquisas no setor público.
Port sustainability initiatives: a study of brazilian public ports
Authors: Cunha Darliane Ribeiro , Pereira Newton Narciso , Moneva José Mariano
Published: August 2023

The paper aims to identify the environmental sustainability initiatives applied in Brazilian public ports. The survey was conducted with twenty port managers located along the Brazilian coast, and the results revealed that sustainability initiatives in Brazilian public ports are consistent with international practices. The study observed a trend in which ports integrate management indicators with sustainable development goals. Brazilian ports have demonstrated a commitment to publishing sustainability reports, although only eight ports currently use the GRI guidelines to prepare these reports. Therefore, there is room for improvement in aligning with international standards and improving external communication. Companies and stakeholders can compare sustainability reports more easily using a common international standard, facilitating benchmarking and identifying best practices. The enhancement of port resilience to the impacts of climate change requires continuous monitoring, and ports have access to various databases and tools for this purpose. According to the study, the most commonly used databases by the surveyed ports are meteorological/climatological and oceanographic/hydrological. Only 5% of all ports had green tariff incentives to reduce emissions in port regions. Furthermore, nearly 40% of all ports monitored CO2 emissions through emissions inventories, and only two ports employed solar energy. The paper outlines the main environmental sustainability initiatives in Brazilian public ports and provides insights for promoting more sustainable ports and cities.

The downy mildew of Isabgol caused by Peronospora plantaginis is a major limiting factor for its production and productivity. The disease appears in severe form every year and caused extensive quantitative as well as qualitative damage to the crop and makes the cultivation of Isabgol unprofitable. It causes a variety of symptoms on leaves such as chlorotic patches accompanied by ashy-white downy growth. The variations in the incidence and severity of downy mildew depend on the environmental conditions. During favourable environmental conditions, it causes serious yield reduction. Since no resistant varieties are available against this disease; therefore, the use of chemical fungicides is the only option available to the farmers to control this disease. However, it can effectively be controlled by the use of chemicals but larger breeding programmes to evolve resistant varieties need to be initiated.

The study was carried out in the Bidar district of Kalyana Karnataka where a people's migration is big. Three talukas were chosen based on the highest labour force from the district. In specific, they were Bidar, Bhalki, and Basavakalyan. In random selection, four villages from each taluka were selected. The primary data was taken via the personal interview process from a total of 240 samples randomly from every taluka for the experiment, with 80 samples. The current study was an attempt to obtain the different motives for the migration of farm labourers from the district of Bidar and to create the correct models for migration data. Tabular research was led in the sample villages of Bidar district for the specific characteristics of migrants and non-migrants. The tabular research found that about 50 percent of people from all talukas migrate from sample households. The tabular analysis exposed that 44 per cent of individual migration compared to the entire family migration and individuals belonging to the 15 – 30-year age group migrate more. Research also found that agricultural labourers in the villages are fleeing because of underemployment and unemployment. Agricultural families are not successful, so many leave with smaller land holdings for better opportunities. Also, the current study attempted to know the nature and magnitude of the association between the agricultural labourers migration in the bidar district and their socioeconomic characteristics. Results of the correlation coefficients of migration over other variables viz. land holding, family size, education, income including migrants income (IMI), and income excluding migrants income (EMI) revealed a significant relationship among land holding and migration. Along with family net income and relocation, the important relationship still occurred. Even between migration and family size.
Reactions of Stock Prices to Changes in Exchange Rate and Monetary Policy Rate of Central Banking System: Symmetry or Asymmetry

This study examines the reactions of stock prices to variations in the monetary policy rate of the central banks and exchange rate shock, which is if the responses are similar or differ in a comparative analysis between developed and emerging stock markets. Data were obtained on daily stock market prices, exchange rates, and variations in policy rate. The panel non-linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) estimation method was utilized for this study. The NARDL showed the existence of a significant asymmetric long-run link between stock market price, exchange rate, and variation in monetary policy rate variables. For developing countries, the long-run results show that a percentage rise in the currency rate stimulated a 0.596% increase in the price of stock while it resulted in a 0.574% drop in the prices of stock. The same results were obtained for the short-run analysis. Also, the results show that a positive shock to the policy rate led to a 0.26% drop in the price of stock in the long term while it induced a 0.35% rise in the prices of stock. These estimates are similar to those obtained for developed economies. By and large, the findings imply that variations in the currency and monetary policy rate of the central banks have significant implications for stock market prices. There is a need for central monetary authorities to base effective regulations of exchange and monetary policy rates on market mechanisms while stock market investors are advised to frequently study the behavior of the two variables when dealing with the stock market.
The T-Exponentiated Exponential{Frechet} Family of Distributions: Theory and Applications

Published: August 2023

This article introduces a new family of Generalized Exponentiated Exponential distribution. Using the T-R{Y} framework, a new family of T-Exponentiated Exponential{Y} distributions named T-Exponentiated Exponential{Frechet} family of distributions is proposed. Some general properties of the family such as hazard rate function, quantile function, non-central moment, mode, mean absolute deviations and Shannon’s entropy are discussed. A new continuous univariate probability distribution which is a member of the T-Exponentiated Exponential{Frechet} family of distributions is introduced. From the general properties of the family, expressions are derived for some specific properties of the new distribution. To show the usefulness of the T-Exponentiated Exponential{Frechet} family of distributions, the new distribution is fitted to two real life data sets and the results are compared with the results of some other existing distributions.

This experiment was conducted to estimate the genetic variability and correlation between yield and yield related characters of 22 rice genotypes at Genetics and Plant Breeding Farm of Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya. This experiment was laid in Randomized Block Design (RBD) during Kharif season of 2022-23 under saline condition. Analysis of variance shows significant differences among 22 rice genotypes under saline condition. GCV (Genotypic coefficient of variation) and PCV (Phenotypic coefficient of variation) estimates were higher for traits such as panicle bearing tillers/plant, harvest index and biological yield indicating selection of rice genotypes for yield and component traits under                                     saline condition. High heritability coupled with higher genetic advance was                                 observed for traits like grains/panicle, days to 50% flowering, spikelets number and                                  plant height. Grain yield/plant was strongly related to harvest index, panicle bearing tiller                         /plant and biological yield per plant. Path coefficient analysis showed that harvest index                  followed by biological yield /plant and panicle bearing tillers/plant has positive direct effect on grain yield/plant.
