Published: December 2022

For many Kenyans, the aquaculture business provides a vital source of food and work. However, information on Kenya’s aquaculture sector’s resilience in the face of emerging global shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic requires additional examination. Prior to the epidemic, Kenya’s aquaculture industry had grown from a tiny participant to a critical component of the country’s fish food system, with fish and fisheries products becoming the most extensively traded food commodity in Kenyan market places. However, as indicated in the review, the aquaculture value chain has not been scrutinised since the onset of COVID-19. Lockdowns enacted during the pandemic had a significant influence on access to aquaculture inputs, fish commerce, and the socio-economic livelihoods of stakeholders and players in Kenya’s aquaculture value chain. Thus, initial and long-term adaptive strategies, particularly those implemented by governments, could help to the development of COVID-19 specific and generic resilience to numerous shocks and stressors among stakeholders and players involved in the country’s aquaculture industry. Some of the measures include a government incentive package to help the fisheries and aquaculture sectors recover, improve farming operations, and gain market trust, as well as the adoption of new methods to reduce labor intensity, such as intelligent sensors, camera systems, and automated or remotely controlled monitoring/feeding strategies. Such strategies and policies can protect the sector from future shocks triggered by pandemics and other unforeseen circumstances.

Published: December 2022

Critical thinking (CT) is one of the crucial skills of the 21st century. Nevertheless, in the educational sector of Bangladesh, CT is still not appropriately taught and practiced to develop learners’ expertise. This study aimed to investigate how EFL teachers facilitate critical thinking (CT) skills of the undergraduate low-proficient learners and what obstacles they faced in promoting CT skills in writing classes in Bangladesh. It integrated both quantitative and qualitative data to achieve the research goals. To conduct this study, the researchers collected data from twelve teachers from six universities in Chattogram, Bangladesh. The results show that the common challenges teachers face while facilitating CT skills are- their lack of proper knowledge and training, inadequate focus on promoting CT skills in the existing educational curriculum, lack of motivation of both students and teachers, difficulty in transitioning from a ‘teacher-centric’ to a ‘student-centric’ classroom, inconvenient classroom environment, and more focus on securing good grades. Findings also show that teachers in tertiary-level education did not pay enough attention to enhance CT and problem-solving skills. However, there are possibilities to enhance teachers' abilities to improve the CT skills of low-proficient EFL learners. The research findings will help tertiary-level EFL teachers understand the current practice of facilitating CT skills in Bangladesh and devise appropriate strategies for better action.

Published: December 2022

Today, one of the main tasks of the healthcare system in many countries of the world is the development and implementation of measures for primary and secondary prevention of the onset and progression of socially significant diseases. In recent decades, the prevalence of carbohydrate metabolism disorders and DM in particular has acquired the character of a pandemic, both in developed and developing countries of the world [1]. According to the latest data, the number of patients with DM in the world over the past 10 years has more than doubled, and by the end of 2015 reached 415 million people [2]. According to the forecasts of the International Diabetes Federation, 642 million people will suffer from diabetes in 2040 [2]. Such a rapid increase in the incidence of diabetes was the reason for the adoption of UN Resolution 61/225 of December 20, 2006 on diabetes mellitus, and in 2011 - the UN Political Declaration addressed to national health systems, calling for the creation of multidisciplinary strategies in the field of prevention and control of non communicable diseases, where special attention is drawn to the problem of diabetes, as one of the leading causes of disability and mortality in the population.

Published: December 2022

The Himalayan Mountainous region is the world's newest, fastest, and most enormous crumpled mountainous range. It is highly volatile because of the continuous geological process. The entire Himalayas range has been responding to devastating natural hazards, which reflects its fragility and susceptibility. The temperature ranges from low-lying hills and mountains to high-altitude, continuously snow-capped mountainous ranges. According to studies, the temperature revolution had a profound effect on the Mountains, and as a result, weather patterns and disasters have changed substantially. The Mountainous terrain's high frequency magnifies weather hazards, bringing everyone else in the area at risk.

Humans are no strangers to disasters. Since the beginning of civilization, they have been persistent, though unpleasant, companions of humans, leaving trails of rage and disaster of incredible magnitude.

Uttarakhand is susceptible to disasters, glaciers, river flooding, forest fires, cloudbursts, and land degradation, among other disasters.

Marriage organizations are an experienced social system, providing a system in which the overall super-building of civilization and success is built. With different individual regulations, the idea of ​​marriage has different meanings, from sacred to legally binding unions. Overall, India is still seen by the world as a country where marriage has a rational and fundamentally sacred position. In any case, the adaptation of contemporary design has changed the general idea of ​​marriage. Today, in our general public, we are changing from organized partnerships with love relationships to partnerships with same-sex marriages. You can feel it; Relationships are made in paradise. It is a notable saying. When the two meet and the marriage is over, this is recognized as the will of God. Marriage can be between similar statuses or ranks. Relationships within similar ranks mean that both children and young women have places with similar environments. A buried standing relationship means that young women and children come from different stations, some of which are lower.
A Study of Citizenship on Investment Programs: Past, Present and Future, and Survey on Its Acceptance by HNI Clients
Authors: Pallathadka Harikumar
Published: December 2022

Following Malta's choice to sell its citizenship in 2013, the request for citizenship by venture (CBI) programs soared. Caribbean legislatures, then again, have been "selling" their citizenship for quite a while, much before Malta. This article unloads the variables that empower the sending of CBI programs and investigates their ability to help financial improvement in a "group of countries" - for example, the five Caribbean nations that run CBI programs utilizing a contextual investigation procedure. It likewise sees how outsiders (like unfamiliar state-run administrations) see residents of CBI-allowing countries, contending that the outer political expenses of speculative double-dealing of these nations' citizenship might offset the financial advantages.

Malta was the subject of heated debate in the European Parliament in January 2014. The island state had set up a citizenship-in-exchange-for-business-transactions scheme, intended to be used as an economic policy tool to gather and make ‘money,' with citizenship and hence migration rights as its lure. It is ruling also meant that European citizenship would be bestowed. Both politicians and academics viewed the Maltese citizenship-by-investment program (CIP) as akin to "selling" the EU's primary status, and it was widely panned: Several articles on the subject have brought criticisms such as "programs corrode democracy," "they undermine citizenship," and "CIPs enhance global inequity."
The Idea of Freedom in Islamic Thought

From the Islamic point of view, freedom is a fundamental right. And scientifically, it has been placed in a structure that reveals the originality of Islam in expressing this right. Rights that are governed by human values ​​and legislative principles. And it is the inner (inherent) freedom song to the will and authority. And external freedom, which belongs to the collective dimension of man, who known as public freedom which in this Islam originates from human dignity by God and his succession on earth. To have complete freedom to exploit the universe and to be able to conquer and exploit it according to the substitute method which is worship and sovereignty.

The Muslim Ummah must know that political freedom, freedom of opinion and ijtihad, freedom of criticism and speech, economic freedom, and all actions are safe for him and as long as he adheres to the right and justice commanded by God. His complete servitude to the Almighty is committed to any freedom, freedom is a genuine human right, and this right will not be violated by anyone unless there is an obstacle in the way.

For this reason, the divine religions, which are responsible for educating the population and refining morality, are the most staunch defenders of human freedom! And also, for this reason, the Holy Qur'an is full of verses that establish the freedom of the human will and deny restraint from all desires. Which is mentioned in this discussion.

Accompanying forbidding any other duty and calling for obedience and forbidding sin, reward, punishment, reckoning, and punishment, and court and enforcing limits and punishments and other things like that, are all repeated emphases on the issue of human freedom.

Plants were the primary source of food for early humans. Hinduism and Jainism have consistently urged their devotees to continue with a vegan lifestyle. Supporters of the Orphic secrets were the principal individuals to expound on veggie-lover food in the 6th century BC. Pythagoras, a Greek rationalist, is believed to be the organizer behind moral vegetarianism. Several famous people followed the Pythagorean way of life, which affected vegetarian diets until the 19th century. During the Middle Ages, vegan food essentially quit being eaten in India. Various individuals decided to be veggie lovers during the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment. In 1847, India was where the primary vegan culture was framed. In 1908, the International Vegetarian Society was begun, and in 1944, the leading veggie lover society was shaped. Sylvester Graham, John Harvey Kellogg, and Maximilian Bircher-Benner were all notable vegans during this time. Toward the beginning of the 21st hundred years, something changed. Scientists have disproved the old belief that vegetarianism leads to poor nutrition. Instead, they have shown that a vegetarian diet lowers the risk of most modern diseases. Today, vegetarian diets are becoming more popular and accepted all over the world.

Legal education is a fundamental connection in the Chinese general set of laws, especially when China has vowed to administer the country by law and order. Legal education is a vital stage for individuals working within the legal profession, preparing judges, lawyers, and other legal staff. Lawful instruction within the setting of 21st Century China has two fundamental missions: first, working with the nation's science & schooling drive, and second, working with law and order in the country. Without the advancement of legal education, law and order may be something like an unfilled word. The mission of legal training has become more down-to-earth in serving the advancement of the market economy growth. The market-arranged financial advancement has achieved a deep level of interest in modern legal administrations. Legal education has grown broadly over the most recent twenty years. Lawful training and legal practice are still generally independent. A sample of 241 respondents was surveyed to determine the factors determining the Problems and Perspective of Legal Education in China. The study concludes that the Quality of legal education, Education and Demand, Reforms and Perspective, and Practical skill training are the factors that determine the Problems and Perspective of Legal Education in China.

Published: December 2022

Background: Diabetes is a term used to describe a group of metabolic disorders that are hyperglycemic due to deficiencies in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Diabetes complications are common in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients, and they are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. One of the persistent diabetes complications is a foot ulcer associated with neuropathy. These ulcers eventually lead to infections in the diabetic foot. Diabetic foot diseases such as ulceration, gangrene, Charcot joint, and fracture are common causes of amputation.

Methodology: The study was conducted of 23 samples from foot ulcers diabetic disease. Relevant clinical, biochemical, and microbiological sensitivity evaluations were carried out on the subjects.

Results: This study has shown that the highest ratio of isolated bacteria from diabetic foot ulcer patients were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus pyogenes respectively. The isolated Gram-positive bacteria were more than isolated gram-negative bacteria. Both Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus showed a high resistance to Benzylpenicillin and Oxacillin, Whereas some isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed resistance to Imipenem, meropenem and Piperacillin/Tazobactam. Escherichia coli were resistant to Ticarcillin, Aztreonam, Cefepime and Ceftazidime. Klebsiella pneumoniae show high resistant to all of antibiotics. Proteus mirabilis resist to Aztreonam, Cefepime, Ceftazidime, Gentamicin, meropenem, Piperacillin/ Tazobactam, Trimethoprim/ Sulfamethoxazole and Tobramycin.

Conclusion: The outcome of current study has shown that the isolated Gram-positive bacteria were more than isolated gram-negative bacteria in foot ulcer patients, with different pattern of resistance to the studied antibiotics.
Beyond Deadlock
Authors: Zajac Maciej
Published: December 2022

Efforts to ban Autonomous Weapon Systems were both unsuccessful and controversial. Simultaneously the need to address the detrimental aspects of AWS development and proliferation continues to grow in scope and urgency. The article presents several regulatory solutions capable of addressing the issue while simultaneously respecting the requirements of military necessity and so attracting a broad consensus. Two much stricter solutions – regional AWS bans and adoption of a no first use policy – are also presented as fallback strategies in case achieving AWS’ compliance with the Laws of Armed Conflict proved elusive. Together, the solutions presented form an outline of a flexible regulatory strategy able to adjust to different technological outcomes and providing a sensible compromise to solve the current deadlock on the AWS issue.

The Uncancerous Helix-Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma
Authors:   *Consultant Histopathology, A.B. Diagnostics, New Delhi, India
Published: December 2022

Benign fibrous histiocytoma occurs as an exceptional, painless, subcutaneous, mesenchymal, fibrohistiocytic neoplasm devoid of dermal incrimination. Additionally designated as deep dermatofibroma, deep seated benign fibrous histiocytoma commonly emerges within subcutaneous tissue, deep seated soft tissue or parenchymal organs. Generally, benign fibrous histiocytoma arises in adult males > 25 years and appears between 6 years to 84 years with a median age of disease emergence at 40 years. A male predominance is observed. Commonly, benign fibrous histiocytoma emerges within lower or upper extremities, head and neck or trunk. Neoplasms confined to deep soft tissue of retroperitoneum, mediastinum or pelvis are infrequently discerned [1,2]. Deep seated benign fibrous histiocytoma emerges as a painless, gradually progressive, well circumscribed or encapsulated tumefaction [1,2]. Grossly, firm, yellow to tan, well circumscribed tumefaction encompassed with a pseudo-capsule is discerned. Pseudo-capsule may be absent where tumefaction extends to the cutis [1,2]. Characteristically, tumour magnitude is ~ 4 centimetres and varies from 0.5 centimetres to 25 centimetres. Cut surface exhibits variable foci of haemorrhage [1,2]. Upon microscopy, neoplasm exhibits a prominent storiform pattern configured of uniform, spindle-shaped cells imbued with eosinophilic cytoplasm with ill defined cellular perimeter and bland, elongated or plump nuclei with vesicular chromatin and delicate nucleoli. Tumour nuclei are devoid of nuclear atypia [1,2]. tumefaction is admixed with disseminated lymphocytes, plasma cells multinucleated giant cells, osteoclastic giant cells or foamy macrophages [1,2]. Frequently, prominent vascular articulations may configure a hemangiopericytoma-like pattern. Mitotic figures appear ≤5 mitosis per 10 high power fields [1,2]. Intervening stroma is myxoid or hyaline. Focal necrosis or tumour infiltration of lymphatic and vascular configurations is exceptional. Tumour perimeter is non-infiltrative and peripheral entrapment of adipose tissue is absent. Focal entrapment of collagen fibres may occur [1,2].

MEASURING FARM SENSITIVITY TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AFTERMATH
Authors: Kłoczko-Gajewska Anna
Published: December 2022

The goal of this paper is to suggest a list of indicators of farm sensitivity to the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic brought rapid changes for many economies, organisations, and individuals. Top-down restrictions in travel, obligatory infection tests, masks, and disinfection, closing of many service points combined with changes in consumer behaviour were undoubtedly a shock to many forms of business. Second-round consequences, such as changes in demand for certain products, truncated logistic chains, currency and price changes affected, among others, the agrifood sector. The paper is of methodical character. The paper is based on a short literature review concerning the vulnerability and sensitivity analysis for various organisation types (countries, regions, households) on external conditions (such as weather and economic conditions). Basing on the COVID-19 pandemic transmission channels to food and agriculture, the author suggests a set of indicators that can be used to analyse farm sensitivity to the pandemic. These measures, after necessary modifications, can be used also for measuring the impact of other exogenous shocks on farms.
A CONCEPÇÃO DE SEGURANÇA CIDADÃ E SEUS REFLEXOS NA FORMAÇÃO DE SOLDADOS DA PMERJ
Authors: Cristina Pereira da Silva Veiga Célia
Published: December 2022

A concepção de segurança pública tem sido impactada pelas transformações e sofisticações ocorridas nas relações entre Estado e sociedade civil. A ampla reforma do aparelho de Estado, no cerne do projeto neoliberal, trouxe consigo mudanças que impulsionaram a adoção no novo gerencialismo nas políticas públicas, renovando concepções que fundamentam a administração pública. Nesse contexto, surge o conceito de Segurança Cidadã propondo a concepção de segurança pública como prestação de serviço fundamentada na lógica gerencial. Pretende-se neste artigo analisar em que medida essa nova perspectiva foi absorvida pelos policiais militares da Polícia Militar do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (PMERJ) durante o Curso de Formação de Soldados (CFSd). Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza básica, de abordagem qualitativa, de caráter explicativo, cujos procedimentos técnicos são a documentação e o levantamento por meio de questionário. Os resultados apontam para a reprodução de elementos que evidenciam a apropriação conceitual da Segurança Cidadã em tensão com uma concepção mais conservadora de segurança pública. Conclui-se que a formação inicial dos soldados impulsiona o desenvolvimento de novos elementos na cultura institucional afinada ao contexto democrático, contudo, tal ideia fomenta tensões e contradições com tradições arraigadas na PMERJ.
Serological response against foot-and-mouth disease virus to FMD-haemorrhagic septicaemia-black quarter combined vaccine and FMD vaccine alone in sheep and goat
Authors: KUMAR YOGESH , SINGH AJAY PRATAP , SINGH RASHMI
Published: December 2022

Foot-and-mouth disease is subclinical in small ruminants and they may play role in spread of disease. Presently, they are not included in vaccination coverage in India under FMD-control programme. A total of 43 animals including sheep (16) and goat (27) were used for vaccination study by combined vaccine (FMD, HS and BQ) and FMD vaccine alone. Humoral immune response was evaluated by monitoring serum antibody titres against FMDV serotypes O, A and Asia 1 on 30, 60, 90 dpv. In both vaccinated groups, peak antibody titre for all 3 serotypes was obtained on 30 dpv, it remained constant up to day 60 and after that there was gradual decrease at 90 dpv. As in both groups there was no significant difference and protective titre remained upto 90 dpv, use of combined vaccine can be suggested as cost effective strategy.
Tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (TARMS-PCR) assay in genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphism in goatpox virus p32 gene
Authors: MISHRA ADARSH , ROY PARIMAL
Published: December 2022

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are most often associated with some pathological implications. Screening out the presence of such mutations is extremely sought to know the nature of the disease outbreak. Furthermore, the allele specific distributions of the virus are to be known for effective epidemiological strategies. Tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (TARMS-PCR) is a simple, rapid and inexpensive technique as compared to high thoroughput sequencing methods for genotyping SNPs. In the present report, a novel TARMS-PCR was utilized to ascertain the presence of a particular allele (645GTPVC/T) in the p32 gene of goatpox virus (GTPV), one of the most widespread Capripoxvirus affecting small ruminants exhibiting moderate to even severe pathological consequences in the endemic areas. It was found that GTPV of Chinese origin are GTPVC/T type whereas only single genotype (GTPVT) was found among GTPV of Indian origins. Possibly, this is the first report of development of a TARMS-PCR technique for genotyping of virus to ascertain the presence of a specific allele. This technique can be applied further to unveil the presence of deleterious mutations in any other viral genome. Further, this technique can be applied for cross-border surveillance of GTPV among China and India.
Effect of pine (Pinus densiflora) needle and Korean mistletoe (Viscum album var. coloratum) powder on male broiler chicken growth, serum cholesterol profiles, and meat quality
Authors: SEO B B
Published: December 2022

Pine (Pinus densiflora) needle leaf (PNL) and Korean mistletoe (KM) (Viscum album var. coloratum) were compared as dietary supplements for male broiler chickens, and their effects on broiler growth, serum cholesterol profiles, and meat quality were investigated.A total of 240 one-day-old male broilers (40~45 g/body weight) were randomly assigned to 4 dietary groups (control, 0.5% PNL, 1% PNL, and 1% KM) of 60 birds each (3 replicates per group) in a completely randomized design. PNL and KM dietary supplements did not affect broiler growth performance, but mortality was reduced in the 1% KM-treated group. Serum cholesterol profiles indicated that total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (LDLC) decreased significantly while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) level increased in treatment groups compared to levels in the control group. Decrease in lightness and redness color values in thigh meat of broilers fed PNL and KM powder were observed. However, no significant differences were observed among the groups with regard to triglyceride and glucose levels, pH, and yellowness of the meat. In conclusion, 1% KM dietary supplement can reduce mortality, which may be due to the immune-regulating effects of KM, as well, it can reduce lipid oxidation and improve meat color stability via an antioxidant action in broiler thigh muscles.

Published: December 2022

The data of 22,630 fortnightly test day milk yield of 2,263 Sirohi does at different lactations were used and subjected to least square analysis to study the effect of various non-genetic factors like cluster, periods of kidding, season of kidding, parity, type of birth and regression of dam’s weight. The overall least-squares means of different individual fortnightly test day milk yields increase from 0.820±0.04 kg on TD1 (15th day of lactation) to a peak yield of 1.070±0.06 kg on TD2 (30th day of lactation) and subsequently declined to 0.348±0.01 kg on TD10 (150th day of lactation). Cluster and period wise variation were highly significant on all stages of fortnightly test day milk yields. The significantly higher test day milk yield were observed in winter kidded does as compared to summer and rainy kidded, it could be milk climatic conditions. The parity had statistically highly significant effect on fortnightly test day milk yields, in which seemed that milk yields increase as parity increase, thereafter declined slowly. The effect of type of kidding was non-significant on overall fortnightly test day milk yield under this study. The regression of dam’s weight at kidding was positive and highly significant (P≤ 0.01) on all fortnightly test day milk yield. In order to increase goat milk production, goat keepers need to be focused on nutritional and others environmental conditions as it affect their flock.

Authors: BANGAR YOGESH C , VERMA MED RAM
Published: December 2022

In the present study, meta-analysis of binary outcome was undertaken by using two approaches namely Summary Statistics (SS) and Individual Animal Data (IAD) approach for obtaining more reliable estimates of the association of risk factors [breed (crossbred & indigenous), parity (primiparous & multiparous), age (< 5 years & > 5 years) and milk yield (kg)] with clinical mastitis [binary outcome (yes or No)] in dairy cows in India. For the present study the data on mastitis were compiled from three organized cattle farms. The results of bootstrapping showed that the pooled estimates under Individual Animal Data (IAD) approach were significantly higher than Summary Statistics (SS) appraoch for all unadjusted risk factors. However the results of both approaches were similar under covariate-adjusted circumstances. In case of heterogeneity of effects across farms, Individual Animal Data (IAD) approach provides more reliable information than Summary Statistics (SS) approach. Therfore it was also concluded that the crossbreds (adjusted for age) cows (1.47 times), older cows (1.85 times) multiparous cows (2.21 times) and high yielders (1.67 times) cows were at higher risk of mastitis than their respective reference categories. Therefore Individual Animal Data (IAD) approach is an appropriate approach for animal science data as it is more reliable and perform better in heterogenous conditions.

The present study was conducted during 2012â€“13 and 2013â€“14 to investigate the effect of different land configurations and irrigation schedules on soil water depletion, ground water contribution (GWC), productivity and heat use efficiency of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Flori & Paol). Results of the two years study exhibited highest grain yield by 24.7% and 17.4%, water use efficiency (WUE) by 38.8% and 35.7%, respectively, under furrow irrigated raised beds (FIRBS) over conventional tillage (CT). Soil moisture depletion, GWC and total consumptive water use were lowered by 21% and 15%, 20% and 16%, and 12% and 9%, respectively over CT in both the years. Under zero tillage (ZT) condition, wheat accumulated highest growing degree days (GDD) of 3288Â°C day and 3321Â°C day, respectively. Furthermore, FIRBS and ZT plots accumulated additional heat units of 1000Â°C day-hour till maturity in both the years. Among the irrigation schedules, contribution of irrigation water towards consumptive water use was highest by 41.8% and 43.6% in IW:CPE=0.90 over others in 2 years, respectively. Irrigation water productivity (WPI) was highest by 45.8% and 43.3% in IW:CPE=0.75, respectively.

A study was undertaken to establish the annual trend in climatic variables of the Betwa basin located in Central India. District wise daily data (1971â€“2007) of rainfall, maximum and minimum temperature, relative humidity and wind speed were analysed using Mann-Kendall test and Senâ€™s slope estimator. The annual rainfall in majority of the districts showed non-significant decreasing trend. Maximum temperature exhibited significant increasing trend in nine out of 14 districts, whereas minimum temperature exhibited significant increasing trend in only four districts. Relative humidity has increased significantly in Bhopal and Jhansi districts, whereas wind speed has significantly decreased in Bhopal, Jhansi, Tikamgarh and Vidisha districts. Decrease in the rainfall varied from 0.674 to 6.46 mm/year which was insignificant. The increase in mean daily maximum and minimum temperature varied from 0.014â€“0.022Â°C/year and 0.015â€“0.024Â°C/year, respectively. Significant increase in relative humidity was in the range of 0.18â€“0.34% per year, whereas decrease in the wind speed varied from -0.053 to -0.186 km/h/year. Results of the trend analysis indicated spatial variability in the changes in the different climatic variables.These results will be useful for planning appropriate water management strategies, agricultural crop planning, and preparing location specific adaptation measures.

The genetic diversity and population structure studies on 32 wild Malus species were conducted using the nine inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. The average value of diversity indices, viz. resolving power (Rp), polymorphic information content (PIC), effective multiplex ratio (EMR) and marker index (MI) of ISSR markers were 2.389, 0.388, 16.429 and 6.228, respectively, while the Jaccardâ€™s similarity coefficient ranged from 0.46 to 0.97. The cluster analysis divided the selected Malus species into two major clusters and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) further reconfirmed the result of the cluster analysis. The first three axes of PCoA explained 43.49% variation and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) explained 16% variation between the indigenous and exotic Malus populations. The studied Malus species were genetically differentiated into four distinct populations which were revealed through the model based population structure analysis. Thus, the present investigation revealed substantial genetic diversity among the studied wild Malus species and existing genetic diversity could be valuable genetic resources for future apple improvement programme.

Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) (2n= 52; Piperaceae), is a perennial, trailing woody flowering vine having global importance with widespread dietary, medicinal, and preservative uses. It is one of the highly traded high cost spice germplasms cultivated for its fruit. Unlike model species, the whole genome sequence information and genomic resources of black pepper are still unavailable in public domain. Crop production is highly affected by abiotic and biotic stresses. Hence transcriptome profiling has permitted a significant enhancement in discovery and expression profiling of genes and functional genomic studies in black pepper. Stress responsive transcriptomic data of various black pepper genotypes were obtained from public domain (SRA database, NCBI) for the de novo transcriptome assembly, identification of transcription factors and mining of putative simple sequence repeat markers. De novo transcriptome assembly was done with SOAP denovo-trans assembler, which generated 53690 transcripts. A total of 14005 transcription factors with BLAST and 39685 without BLAST hits were identified. A total of 4770 putative SSR markers were identified using de novo transcriptome assembly. Myeloblastosis (MYB) related proteins, Basic helix-loop-helix (BHLH), NAC, WRKY and ERF transcriptional factors found in this study are reported to be associated with plant tolerance against stress condition. These SSR markers can be valuable and facilitate advancements in genetic and molecular studies in the endeavour of better productivity of P. nigrum germplasm, especially in the era of rising abiotic stress.

Improved technological interventions are important to sustain production and productivity of rice. A study was conducted by Regional Rainfed Lowland Rice Research Station, ICARâ€“National Rice Research Institute, Gerua, Kamrup in four districts of lower brahmaputra valley and north bank plains agro-climatic zones of Asom during boro seasons from 2012â€“13 to 2016â€“17 to enhance productivity of boro rice through introduction of latest rice varieties and application of improved production technology. Performance of open-pollinated varieties, viz. Naveen, Chandrama and CR Dhan 909, and hybrids, viz. Ajay and Rajalaxmi under application of improved production technology were demonstrated. At all the locations, application of improved technologies showed superior results in terms of growth, yield attributes, productivity and profitability over local checks under farmersâ€™ practice. Rice varieties with application of improved production technologies, increased mean grain yield by an average of 38.8% and extra earning of `18137/ha over existing farmerâ€™s practice with only `3632/ha extra expenditure on inputs. The mean gap indices,viz.extension gap (1.56 t/ha), technology gap (0.96 t/ha), technology index (14.5%) and mean B:C (4.99) clearly indicated the superiority of technological demonstrations over farmersâ€™ practices. The study also lays emphasis on the framing intensive technology transfer programmes like technological demonstrations on field to motivate the farmers for higher adoption rate of improved rice production technology.

The field experiment was conducted to study the effect of nano-particles (chitosan and titanium oxide) on growth, yield and economics of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. & Coss.] during 2013-14 and 2014-15 comprising nine treatments of seed and foliar spray of nano-particles and thiourea in RBD with three replications. Maximum dry matter accumulation was recorded under seed treatment with titanium oxide (STTO) at 1000 ppm during both the years. The SPAD value indicated that higher greenness was noticed with STTO @ 1000 ppm, followed by titanium oxide spray @ 500 ppm. The maximum primary and secondary branches were recorded in STTO@ 1000 ppm, followed by the foliar spray of titanium oxide @ 500ppm. The bold seeds were also produced with higher 1000 seed weight (5.9 gm and 6.1 gm during 2013 and 2014, respectively) in STTO @ 1000 ppm. Across all the treatments, STTO @ 1000 ppm resulted in higher yield attributes. Seed treatment with STTO @ 500 ppm recorded 20% higher seed yield over thiourea. STTO @ 1000 ppm and STCH @500 ppm recorded significantly higher biological yield over rest of the other treatments. Significantly (Pâ‰¤0.05) higher oil content was noticed in STTO @ 1000 ppm during both the years and the highest oil yield (852 and 836 kg/ha), highest net return and maximum B:C ratio (2.95 and 2.76) during 2014-15 and 2015-16, respectively) was also recorded in STTO @ 1000 ppm. The pooled analysis of two years data showed that the highest nitrogen, phosphorus and potash uptake from seed and stover was recorded under STTO 1000 ppm, followed by STTO @ 500 ppm and foliar application of chitosan @ 1000 ppm.
