Leer y escribir en el preescolar: un reto para el maestro
Authors: Herrera Cano Oliva , Arango Lasprilla Sofía Catalina
Published: March 2022

El texto alude a la discusión que debe gestarse desde la escuela sobre los procesos de enseñanza de la lectura y la escritura como contenidos de aprendizaje, y no como procesos que deban garantizar el desarrollo de la dimensión comunicativa en los niños y las niñas de manera transversal a las interacciones sociales. Se cuestiona cómo estas concepciones marcan una ruta de enseñanza que los docentes no han trascendido, por múltiples factores como la tradición escolar, la demanda de los padres de familia, las exigencias externas, el número de estudiantes a cargo, los temores al cambio, etc. Se reflexiona acerca de las opciones metodológicas, las cuales, a pesar de que se exploran, no se han convertido en realidad permanente en el trabajo de aula, en la que debe enseñarse la lectura y la escritura como medio y no como fin. Asimismo, se recuerda la urgente necesidad de leer y escribir en la escuela de forma significativa, respetuosa y asertiva con los procesos infantiles.
La función parental cuidadora y las pruebas PISA: la esperanza de abrir y cerrar ventanas humanas
Authors: Martínez V. Martha Elena
Published: March 2022

El presente artículo reflexiona sobre un aspecto que no hace parte de la validez de las pruebas PISA, por ser una variable difícil de controlar, pero que sí es relevante en la comprensión de los resultados, por lo menos para nuestro país, Colombia, por su problemática social, esto es, las rupturas familiares y el conflicto armado, dicho aspecto es el cuidado de la primera infancia. Dentro de este contexto se argumenta la importancia y el significado de la función parental cuidadora desde las perspectivas de la Clínica Psicológica Relacional y la Neurociencia. Ambas ramas del saber aportan elementos clínicos y/o teóricos en la comprensión del devenir siendo humano en una matriz de relaciones humanas.
Importancia de las emociones en la adquisición de nuevos aprendizajes mediatizados por aspectos relacionales
Authors: Betancur Arias Daniela , Betancur Arias Juan Diego
Published: March 2022

En este artículo se presenta una reflexión que describe la importancia de las emociones en la adquisición de nuevos aprendizajes mediatizados por aspectos relacionales; al mismo tiempo, se aborda la emoción como función adaptativa del hombre y el correlato cerebral que esta tiene con los aspectos cognitivos y conductuales. Por otra parte, se hace claridad entre emociones y sentimientos, para comprender como desde los escenarios ecológicos de la educación, el maestro o maestra debe generar estrategias que articulen la emoción en cualquier interacción con el conocimiento para formar un pasamiento integral, que deje entre ver una sensibilidad por todo aquello que se desee comprender del cosmos y su relación con la cotidianidad. Finaliza el artículo advirtiendo la necesidad de generar una base afectiva emocional en cualquier proceso de enseñanzaaprendizaje, que permita la constitución de redes neuronales con un peso representativo en las estructuras cerebrales para acomodar de modo cada vez más perfecto la información de entrada a la salida requerida. Con estos planteamientos se invita a la reflexión docente para que articule dentro de los escenarios de formación, bases sensibles y sintientes que motiven al hombre a conocer el factor humano que va más allá de la racionalidad.

Educación como cultivo de la humanidad
Authors: Ramírez Edgar A.
Published: March 2022

“Lo que considero una educación humanista... es una educación que permita y fomente el desarrollo de la persona, es decir, que las posibilidades de desarrollo del individuo no estén determinadas por el mercado. Desgra-ciadamente en nuestra sociedad el hombre no va a vivir del desarrollo de sus posibilidades, sino de la venta de su fuerza de trabajo. Al sistema no le interesa mucho, desde el punto de vista de la eficacia de su aparato produc-tivo y de su sistema social, que el individuo se realice y se desarrolle en sus posibilidades, sino que haya interiorizado la humildad frente a sí mismo, que solo le interese el éxito, la diferenciación, la promoción; mientras más tenga una mentalidad “técnicamente lacayuna” más éxito tendrá”.
Incidencia social, familiar, biológica y académica del trastorno oposicionista desafiante
Authors: Castro Nathalia Andrea , López Ruiz Jhoana Marcela , Henao Arias Diana Marisol , Buitrago Puerta Nataly , Camacho Franco José Luis , Betancur Juan Diego
Published: March 2022

Este articulo surge como resultado de la investigación realizada sobre el conocimiento de las causas, efectos y comportamientos de profundizar en el conocimiento de las causas, efectos y comportamientos que adquiere el individuo al padecer Trastorno Oposicionista Desafiante (TOD), el cual es diagnosticado de manera errónea, porque se da sin seguir un protocolo en el ámbito neuropsicológico. El tratamiento para el TOD debe ser basado en intervenciones psicológicas que orienten la familia y la escuela sobre las características del trastorno. La intervención debe ser complementada con el uso de medicamentos. Un tratamiento erróneo conlleva a desarrollar un trastorno de conducta en la adolescencia. (Rigau, García, Artigas, 2006). El TOD presenta comorbilidad con otros trastornos, por esto la importancia de indagar aspectos sobre la estructura familiar o el contexto en el que se encuentra el individuo para obtener un diagnóstico adecuado o la causa del desencadenante de dicho trastorno.
Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad visto desde la genética y la epigenética: una revisión teórica investigativa
Authors: Ramírez Restrepo Catalina , Gutiérrez Valentina Luna , Betancur Juan Diego
Published: March 2022

La genética ha logrado exponer en sus resultados investigativos como el Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad (TDAH) está modulado por varios genes que actúan de forma combinada. Algunos genes más representativos son: DRD4, que codifica el receptor de la dopamina y el DAT1, que codifica el transportador de la dopamina. Igualmente en estudios con gemelos han revelado un alto coeficiente de heredabilidad. De otro lado, la epigenética con su aporte impactante se ocupa de investigar cómo los sujetos pueden lograr heredar y enunciar rasgos que se originan en la manera en que han sido educados, la influencia del entorno desde estilos de vida y alimentación sin ninguna alteración en el ADN. {Center guía (2014)}. De esta manera, los resultados de la presente investigación, dan cuenta de los conocimientos de la genética de la genética y la epigenética amplían la comprensión de las alteraciones de aquellos sujetos que presentan Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad (TDAH), abriendo nuevos horizontes para tratamientos tanto neuropsicológicos, psicológicos, farmacéuticos como preventivos.
Lo simbólico de las palabras en las prácticas discriminatorias y antidiscriminatorias
Authors: Zánder Londoño Sebastián
Published: March 2022

El proyecto denominado “Significantes en las representaciones sociales de estudiantes del Tecnológico de Antioquia en las valoraciones de situaciones que caracterizan prácticas discriminatorias y antidiscriminatorias”, tuvo como objetivo de investigación “analizar los significantes que caracterizan las representaciones sociales sobre diversidad y poblaciones, comprendiendo su relación con las valoraciones de situaciones que caracterizan prácticas antidiscriminatorias y discriminatorias que emergen de estudiantes del Tecnológico de Antioquia”. Los rastreos y análisis se dieron a partir de este marco de referencia, teniendo como base el tipo de investigación explicativo y permite concluir que existe una alta tendencia frente a las prácticas antidiscriminatorias, caracterizadas en la aceptación y participación y al uso de nociones con términos positivos en los grupos relacionados con discapacidad, pobreza y víctimas (tanto del conflicto armado, como desplazamiento forzoso, bien sea intra o extra urbano), exceptuando el de ruralidad en el que se aprecia la tendencia al uso de eufemismos.

Las TIC: un edublog como alternativa mejoradora en competencias de comprensión y producción textual
Authors: Jaramillo Sánchez Héctor Mauricio
Published: March 2022

Este artículo resulta de una investigación pedagógica de tipo cualitativo, aplicada a estudiantes del grado quinto de primaria de una institución educativa del Municipio de Titiribí, Antioquia, Colombia. Su objetivo fue la mejora significativa de desempeños en comprensión y producción textual mediados por las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), específicamente edublogs o blogs educativos. La investigación partió del supuesto teórico de que la cognición humana es sociocultural en tanto el sujeto aprende de la cultura que lo rodea y de los edublogs como herramienta en intervenciones pedagógicas. Es así como las TIC, por ser permeadas por la cultura, se convierten en vehículo de aprendizajes. Uno de los principales resultados de la investigación fue que los estudiantes mejoraron sustancialmente, a través de las actividades propuestas en el edublog, sus resultados en las pruebas SABER y en los informes académicos. Con esto se concluye que los procesos académicos en el Siglo xxi deben estar atravesados por las tecnologías educativas.
Las deficiencias en lectoescritura de los universitarios. Una cadena de responsabilidades
Authors: Cogollo Ospina Sonia Natalia
Published: March 2022

Magín Díaz, un compositor nonagenario, no sabe leer ni escribir. Algunas de las canciones tradicionales más famosas de Colombia fueron compuestas por él, pero nunca se le dio crédito por desconocimiento de quién era el autor. Grandes éxitos como “A pilá el arroz”, “Rosa”, “El lobo” y “Juana Caribe”, que han sido interpretados por Totó la Momposina, Carlos Vives y Joe Arroyo, le pertenecían. A sus 94 años, Magín se queja porque debía tener casa y otras condiciones de vida (AJ+ Español, 2016). El analfabetismo y el racismo subyacente para el acceso a la educación fueron las causas de no poder disfrutar de sus derechos morales y patrimoniales.
Ciudadanías propias. Una reflexión desde el diálogo entre Paulo Freire y Boaventura de Sousa Santos
Authors: Villalobos Olascoaga Diana Carolina
Published: March 2022

Este trabajo presenta el diálogo entre la pedagogía crítica de Paulo Freire y la propuesta de la epistemología del sur en Boaventura de Sousa Santos, cuyas bases teóricas permiten la construcción del concepto de ciudadanías propias. La investigación se desarrolló siguiendo el enfoque cualitativo, desde una perspectiva metodológica de tipo documental, analizando la categoría de ciudadanías a partir de la hermenéutica crítico reconstructiva. El análisis permitió reflexionar sobre la educación como acción política y gnoseológica para reconocer en el otro su subjetividad y las posibles contribuciones que como seres reconocidos aportan al desarrollo humano lejos de la teoría y prácticas eurocéntricas que no aplican para la región latinoamericana. Fue así como se concluyó que hablar de ciudadanías propias implica el reconocimiento de las subjetividades desde el conocimiento y la educación como instrumentos para la transformación social, siendo estos los pilares fundamentales para asumir la construcción de este concepto.
La diversificación comercial en el margen extensivo de la industria atunera mexicana en la guerra comercial México-EU
Authors: García Isaías Cerqueda
Published: March 2022

El principal objetivo de este documento es analizar el tipo de diversificación comercial logrado por las empresas atuneras mexicanas como resultado de los embargos impuestos por Estados Unidos en la década de los 80’s y la negativa del etiquetado Dolphin Safe para los productos mexicanos de atún enlatado. Los acontecimientos que dieron origen a la guerra comercial entre México y Estados Unidos fueron: 1) el fortalecimiento de la industria atunera mexicana, 2) la disputa sobre las 200 millas de la Zona Económica Exclusiva (ZEE) Mexicana, y 3) la victoria de Ronald Reagan en las elecciones estadounidenses de 1980.  Los resultados de esta investigación indican que este sector se diversificó en el margen extensivo, es decir, ingresando a nuevos mercados; sin embargo, no lograron sobrevivir en esos mercados. La tecnología Blockchain puede ayudar a la sobrevivencia de estos mercados, automatizando los procesos aduaneros, siendo estos muy engorrosos.

Authors: Ajmal Muhammad , Kumar Tribhuwan , Ritonga Mahyudin , Nukapangu Venkanna
Published: March 2022

The aim of this study was to investigate the three synonyms beautiful, handsome and pretty in terms of their meanings and collocation with the help of the Longman Dictionary of contemporary English 6th edition (2014) and the British National Corpus (BNC). Only 100 concordance lines of each synonyms were selected from the corpora. This study was also aimed at investigating the similarities and differences between the three synonyms. The findings of this research declare that these synonyms are similar in their core meaning but are different in their detailed meanings and collocation. The results also clarifies that corpus provide more additional information that is not the part of dictionaries. It is also clear from the study that synonyms cannot be used in all the contexts alternately. Moreover, this study states that corpus is more helpful for the teachers of English as well as for second language learners (L2) because it gives additional information regarding any set of synonyms than dictionaries give. The teachers as well as students should be guided that they may get additional information about data from corpus than the dictionaries. As a result the students will be able in differentiating synonyms in a set by using both the resources, Learners Dictionaries and corpora, and in this way they will be able to increase their vocabulary.
Social Media as an Educational Tool in English: Examining the before and During-Lockdown Trends and Attitudes at Kuwait University
Authors: Al-Shammari Abbas Habr
Published: March 2022

This research aims at investigating the use of social media by students of Kuwait University (KU). Kuwait has been one of the first countries in the Arab world to have recognized the importance of English in the socio-economic development of its people. Accordingly, English enjoys a favorable position in the educational paradigm of Kuwait with it being a compulsory school subject alongside Arabic. With the outbreak coronavirus (COVID-19), Kuwaiti educational authorities, and many other countries, were obliged to enforce closure to all educational institutions and substitute traditional learning with online learning. A large number of tech tools came into prominence to ensure the continuance of education, so great was the desire to innovate that social media platforms came to be exploited for the purpose. Through a quantitative method, this study collects data from 400 students of English at Kuwait University to investigate the nature of change in the use of Social Media in English classrooms before and during the pandemic period. Results show that the students, both male and female, are positively disposed to its use now and in the future in learning, that is gender is not a differentiating variable in the use of SM in learning, a finding which is novel given that it diverges from previous findings in the field. Further, the language learners at Kuwait University recognize the benefits of SM in education implying that, regardless of gender, students share almost equal levels of favorable perceptions. The study importantly concludes that SM has a lot of untapped potential to offer when it comes to being used as part of the educational process. As a result, this study recommends a wider scope of using SM in universities and institutions so as to improve the process of teaching and learning.
Using Rich Picture to Understand the Issues and Challenges in E-Learning Environment: A Case Study of Students in Higher Education Institution
Authors: Mohd Fadhil Noor Fadzlina
Published: March 2022

E-learning has become an important mechanism for teaching and learning in the 21st century. However, little is known about the issues and challenges faced by students as one of the primary users of e-learning in higher education institutions. Thus, this research adopts a qualitative case study with a purposive sample of ten students in a public higher education institution to explore issues and challenges of e-learning usage. Rich Picture originated from Soft System Methodology (SSM) was applied to the case study to explore the issues and challenges faced by the students, specifically in using e-learning as a tool in their learning process. The Rich Picture can be a useful tool to understand and map complexity and to solve problems. A thematic analysis was employed to understand the intricate patterns of emerging themes for achieving patterns in the data. The findings specify that through e-learning, the issues and challenges are categorised into three main aspects which include people/human, environment and technical. Each of these elements is narrowed down into positive and negative side. The most frequently mentioned of the positive side for i) people/human element is the 'self-initiative',  ii) environment element shows the 'encouraged students to learn at their own speed' and iii) technical element shows' accessible at anywhere and anytime'. Meanwhile, the most cited for negative side for i) people/human element is the 'lack of discipline', 'struggle to understand course topic' and 'lack communication skills', ii) environment shows 'distraction' and iii) technical element shows' poor internet connection'. The findings contribute to the theoretical perspective by utilising the Rich Picture of SSM. Following the Rich Picture approach, this research produces a picture with a holistic view of the issues and challenges in e-learning usage among students. Practically, the findings outlined in this research could be a reference to university management to revise the e-learning system plans and improve the platform for better students learning experience.
A Call for a New Stress Index for Malaysian Teachers: A Systematic Review of Studies of Stress among Teachers in Malaysia
Authors: Zarin Nur Izzati , Kaur Kuldip , Ismail Shafinar , Choong Yap Voon , Siong Chew Sze
Published: March 2022

Stress is an issue that has been plaguing the teaching profession in Malaysia. Past studies have shown evidence that workplace stress has a detrimental effect in terms of the health of the employee, as well as the productivity and the economic stability of the country. According to the transactional view of stress, stress is manifested through the person’s interpretation of a stressor, and coping mechanism is deployed to handle stress. When coping mechanism fails, the symptoms of stress will start to occur on individuals. This study looked into stress from the transactional view and employed a systematic literature review that looks into stressors, coping mechanisms and the effects of stress. The systematic literature found 29 articles and the findings found that teachers stress is a critical issue in this country caused by numerous stressors. It was also found that studies concerning coping mechanism among teachers were scarce, and stress can have a detrimental effect on teachers’ physical health, mental health and professional development. The study concluded by suggesting the development of a new stress index among Malaysian teachers, to help future researchers, teachers, school administrators, and other related parties to look at stress from the full perspectives, rather than just focusing on one aspect of stress.

Published: March 2022

This study attempts to highlight issues related to soft skills, namely communication skills among students of Universiti Utara Malaysia. Soft skills that include communication skills, problem solving skills, teamwork, leadership skills and social responsibility, are important elements that are highly emphasized and essential in addition to academic skills. The co-curriculum courses offered at ever public university in Malaysia, among others, aim to shape and develop the personality of students as well as provide them with various components of soft skills. Students with good soft skills will easily adapt to their working environment. Employers prioritize soft skills especially communication skills and social responsibility in employees’ selection sessions. Thus, this study was conducted with a major focus on communication skills.  The three objectives of this study are to identify the level of communication skills among UUM students; to identify the significance of co-curriculum courses in influencing students’ communication skills and to identify the role of attitude in improving communication skills among UUM students. The primary data were gathered using questionnaires distributed to UUM students who are undertaking co-curriculum courses. The data will then be analyzed using Structured Equation Model (SEM), as well as descriptive analysis. A communication indexes has also been developed to identify the level of communication skills among UUM students. The findings show that the communication index for UUM students were between 0.70 (lowest score) and 0.78 (highest score) and the average score is 0.74. The score is normal since the value is above 0.5. Both the independent variables; co-curriculum courses and attitude were positively significant in developing students’ communication skills in UUM at the significant level of less than five percent.
Total Joint Arthroplasty in Homeless Patients at an Urban Safety Net Hospital
Authors: Niu Ruijia , Egan Cameron , Fang Christopher , Duru Nneoma , Alley Maxwell C. , Freccero David M. , Smith Eric L.
Published: March 2022

Introduction:

Homelessness is a key social determinant of health, and the patient population has grown to over 580,000. Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is an effective treatment of symptomatic end-stage osteoarthritis of the hip and knee and has been shown to improve health-related quality of life in the general population. However, the literature on the outcomes of TJA among homeless patients is limited.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed 442 patients who underwent primary, unilateral TJA between June 1, 2016, and August 31, 2017, at an urban, tertiary, academic safety net hospital. Based on self-reported living status, we classified 28 homeless patients and 414 control nonhomeless patients. Fisher exact tests, Student t-tests, and multivariate logistic regression were used to compare the demographics, preoperative conditions, and surgical outcomes between the two groups.

Results:

The homeless group were younger, more often male, and smokers; had alcohol use disorder; and used illicit drugs. After controlling for age, sex, and preoperative medical and social conditions, homeless patients were 15.83 times more likely to have an emergency department visit (adjusted odds ratio, 15.83; 95% confidence interval, 5.05 to 49.59; P < 0.0001) within 90 days but had similar rates of readmission (P = 0.25), revision surgery (P = 0.38), and prosthetic joint infection (P = 0.25) when compared with nonhomeless patients.

Discussion:

Although homeless patients did not have higher rates of readmission or revision surgery, homelessness still presents unique challenges for the TJA patients and providers. With careful preoperative optimization and collaborative support, however, the benefits of TJA may outweigh the risk of poor outcomes for these patients.

Authors: Wick Joseph B. , Shen Thomas , Wick Katherine D. , Haffner Max R. , Klineberg Eric O. , Javidan Yashar , Roberto Rolando F. , Lipa Shaina A. , Le Hai V.
Published: March 2022

Introduction:

Cervical radiculopathy (CR) is commonly treated by spine surgeons, with surgical options including anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) and cervical disk replacement (CDR). CDR is a motion-sparing alternative to ACDF and was approved by the US FDA in 2007. CDR utilization has increased because evidence has emerged demonstrating its long-term efficacy. Despite CDR's efficacy, studies have suggested that socioeconomic factors may influence which patients undergo CDR versus ACDF. Our objective was to determine whether gender, racial, and ethnic disparities exist in the utilization of CDR versus ACDF for CR.

Methods:

Patients age ≥18 years undergoing elective CDR or ACDF for CR between 2017 and 2020 were identified in the Vizient Clinical Database. Proportions of patients undergoing CDR and ACDF, as well as their comorbidities, complications, and outcomes, were compared by sex, race, and ethnicity. Bonferroni correction was done for multiple comparisons.

Results:

A total of 7,384 patients, including 1,427 undergoing CDR and 5,957 undergoing ACDF, were reviewed. Black patients undergoing surgical treatment of CR were less likely to undergo CDR than ACDF, had a longer length of stay, and had higher readmission rates, while Hispanic patients had higher complication rates than non-Hispanic patients.

Discussion:

Important racial and ethnic disparities exist in CR treatment. Interventions are necessary to ensure equal access to spine care by reducing barriers, such as underinsurance and implicit bias.

Level of Evidence:

Length of Stay Increases 90-day Readmission Rates in Patients Undergoing Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty
Authors: Benito Jorge , Stafford Justin , Judd Hyrum , Ng Mitchell , Corces Arturo , Roche Martin W.
Published: March 2022

Background:

Postoperative length of stay (LOS) of 1 day compared with that of 2 to 4 days after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) and 90-day readmissions.

Methods:

PearlDiver identified TKA (n = 648,758) and THA patients (n = 346,732) between 2005 and 2014. Groups consisted of control (LOS = 1 day) and study (LOS = 2 to 4 days) groups. Study and control groups were matched to age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index. Logistic regression analysis and odds ratio analyzed 90-day readmission rates. P < 0.05 was statistically significant.

Results:

TKA patients' LOS of 2 days (odds ratio [OR], 2.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.77 to 3.00), LOS of 3 days (OR, 2.80; 95% CI, 2.69 to 2.91), and LOS of 4 days (OR, 2.83; 95% CI, 2.72 to 2.95) had greater 90-day readmission compared with LOS of 1 day (P < 0.05). THA patients with an LOS of 2 days (OR, 2.93; 95% CI, 2.77 to 3.10), an LOS of 3 days (OR, 2.91; 95% CI, 2.75 to 3.07), or an LOS of 4 days (OR, 2.91; 95% CI, 2.73 to 3.05) had greater 90-day readmission compared with an LOS of 1 day (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

LOS >1 day has greater odds of 90-day readmission after an index procedure. Efficient progression to early discharge regarding patient-specific risk factors plays a large role in preventing readmission.

Impact of aerosol on climate and productivity of rice and wheat crop in Bihar
Authors: SUNIL KUMAR  , SUJEET KUMAR
Published: March 2022

Interactions among aerosol optical depth (AOD), maximum temperature, minimum temperature, rainfall and solar radiation for different agro-ecological zones of Bihar in different seasons were examined during 2001-2012. There was significant negative correlation between aerosol and maximum temperature, in post monsoon season in zone I and II and in winter season in zone III B. There was significant negative correlation between aerosol and minimum temperature in pre monsoon and winter season in zone IIand III A respectively. In monsoon season, there was negative correlation between rainfall and aerosol for all the zones but statistically not significant. There was significant positive correlation between aerosol and rainfall in pre monsoon season. There was significant negative correlation between aerosol and solar radiation in post monsoon season in zone II. There was significant negative correlation between aerosol and rice yield in zone III A and III B and significant positive correlation between aerosol and wheat crop in zone III A. The effect of aerosol on rice yield was predicted to be in the range of -28 to +44 per cent decrease or increase in yield depending on sky condition. Similarly, the wheat yield also depends on the sky condition during the growing season and ranges from -29.4 to +40.9 per cent decrease or increase due to aerosol.

The impact of climate change on agricultural crops is a major concern and threats to the global food security. It also limits the potential of crops and cropping system in a given area. Therefore, the present study was aimed to assess the combined effect of positive (CO2 fertilization, lesser temperature and higher rainfall) and negative (higher temperature, lower rainfall) impacts of the futuristic climatic scenarios on productivity of soybean using APSIM (Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator) model. We have followed the Climate-Crop Modeling Project (C3MP) methodology and generated ninety-nine sensitive test to achieve each test’s temperature, rainfall and CO2 concentration range. Using 30 years of climate data (1980-2010) of Central India as base, the simulation results showed that increasing CO2 concentrations alone resulted in increased soybean yield. Similarly, reduction in rainfall amount indicated negative impact on it. This effect further compounded with increase in temperature and thus, reduced soybean yield. Increasing the temperature with 10% decrease in rainfall declined the soybean yield by 10%. Whereas, increase in temperature along with increase in rainfall also not resulted favorably soybean growth. Decreasing the temperature from the base by 1oC and increasing the rainfall by more than 10% benefitted the soybean productivity, whereas increasing the temperature by 1oC with no change in rainfall resulted decline in soybean productivity by 10-15%.

A field experiment was carried out during the summer seasons of 2015 and 2016 in clay loamy soil of ICAR Research Complex for Eastern Region, Patna to study the phenology, accumulation of growing degree days (GDD), heliothermal units (HTU), heat use efficiency (HUE), heliothermal use efficiency (HTUE) and performance of five sorghum cultivars including 3 hybrids (CSH 13 ,CSH16 andCSH 30) and 2 varieties (CSV 23 and SPV 462) were grown under two sowing dates viz.16th February and 3rd March in split-plot design. For our study purpose and as per package of practices, February 16 is considered as early sowing and March 3 as timely sowing condition. It was observed that GDDs and HTU reduced significantly by 45.9 oC days and 663.6 oC days hr respectively, in early sowing. The sorghum cultivars SPV 462 and CSH 13 accumulated markedly higher GDDs and HTUs. On mean basis, cv. CSH 16 produced significantly higher grain yield (5.51 tha-1) followed by CSH 13 (4.93 t ha-1). The significant reduction in grain yield was recorded in earlier sowing date than the timely sown crop. The phenothermal index gradually increases from emergence to maturity in all the tested cultivars irrespective of sowing date. Sorghum hybrid CSH 16 showed better performance in terms of HUE and HTUE followed by CSH 13 and SPV 462. Varieties giving higher yield, HUE and HTUE are identified under the varying growing environments, so as to suggest the appropriate sowing time of sorghum cultivars in middle the middle Indo-Gangetic Plains.

Different plants respond to photoperiod in diverse manners. There are three major types of the responses of photoperiodism in plants: short-day responses (SD), long-day responses (LD) and dayneutral responses (DN). The LD plants flower most rapidly under high intensity of light provided for a large period of time while the short day plants flower rapidly only if light is provided for a short period of time. The plants with day-neutral responses, does not depends on the conditions of photoperiod in order to flower. Every plant behaves according to the length of light on its own way. In this study the plants that were considered shows distinct responses. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa), for example responded towards longday photoperiod. Synthetic hexaploids showed a slight photoperiodic response of Triricum turgidum rather than the accessions of Triticum tauschii. Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum) showed a day neutral response but some modern tomatoes had mild short day response towards photoperiodism. The tuberization in potato (Solanum tuberosum) was favored by short day photoperiodic response as well as cool temperature.

Now-a-days emerging and re-emerging infections worldwide are becoming the utmost problem for the development of mankind. Many different infections are considered to be zoonotic for humans (transferred from animals to humans). Emerging infections are those which are completely new contagion and affected new geographical locations. Infections are thought to be re-emerging that were important health problem globally or in a specific region, then diminished and once again appear and become the health issues for vast number of population. Although, zoonotic infective agents are most probably thought to be the cause of emergence and re-emergence of communicable diseases.
A Study on FRP-Reinforced Concrete Structures
Authors: Prabhakar Sangave  , Amit Rao
Published: March 2022

In civil engineering, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars are commonly employed. As an alternative to reinforcement steel due to their numerous advantages, including great weight-to-strength ratio, light weight, ease of handling electromagnetic neutrality, and lack of rust. Furthermore, as production machinery develops and more becomes industrialized, FRP has evolved into a cost-effective and competitive structural material. This work examines flexural presentation of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and concrete reinforced (RC) after beams conditioning for 6, 9, and 12 months simulated seawater in a wet-dry environment cycling. The purpose of this study is to introduce advancements in the research on FRP-reinforced concrete structures based on recent research. The bond presentation of FRP bars flexural behaviour, concrete, compression behaviour, and concrete of ductility structures reinforced with FRP bars in the last few years around the world are among the topics covered in this study. steel-FRP composite bars (SFCBs) and Basalt FRP (BFRP) are the two types of FRP bars used. For comparison, steel bars are used. During the conditioning, the beams are subjected to a steady load. There are a full of 24 simple-supported rays that being verified.

Published: March 2022

The consequence of storage and colour of buckets on the bacteriological quality of borehole water was investigated. Water samples drawn from the borehole were collected into covered tap-fitted buckets of different colours. A set of buckets were stored outdoor while duplicates were stored indoor. The physicochemical and bacteriological parameters were analyzed. There was a gradual increase in the pH of the samples during storage. Suspended solid content, bacterial count and coliform count declined with storage. There was reduction in the total bacteria count by 94.84%; 98.72%, 91.03%; 96.15%, 92.30; 96.15 and 93.60; 97.44 from an initial 78 x 10² CFU/ml for indoor and outdoor storage in the colourless, black, green and blue buckets respectively. There was also reduction in total coliform count by 95.24%; 100.00%, 90.48%; 95.24%, 90.48%; 97.62%, 92.86%; 97.62 from an initial 42 x 10² CFU/ml for indoor and outdoor storage in the colourless, black, green and blue buckets respectively. Eleven bacteria including Bacillus subtilis and Acinetobacter haemolyticus were isolated. Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa survived till the last day of storage. Decrease in bacterial counts was prominent in the colourless and blue buckets stored outdoor making them the colour of choice for use in water storage tanks.
