The study was conducted on psyllium seed to assess the combine effect of seeding density and potassium rates on growth, productivity and yield. A factorial study was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), during winter season of 2020-21, at Tobacco and Medicinal Crop Research Institute, Tandojam. The seeding densities were maintained at 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5 kg ha-1. Whereas potassium was applied @ 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 kg ha-1. The data were recorded for various quantitative, qualitative and yield parameters. The results shown that all quantitative parameters had non-significant effect of various potassium levels and seeding density except plants  m-2. The values of plants m-2 were observed higher at potassium level 100 kg ha-1 and seeding density level of 8.5 kg ha-1. While the qualitative parameters had significant differences due to various potassium levels and seeding density, excludes days to 50% spike emergence, days to 50% maturity and seed index. The seed weight spike-1 (g), seed index (g) and seed yield (kg ha-1) were observed maximum from the plants where potash was applied at 100 kg ha-1. In qualitative parameters, the seeding density at 7.5 kg ha-1observed higher seed yield (1152.33 kg ha-1). While higher seed weight spike-1 (0.14g) observed at seeding density 6.5 kg ha-1. Among growth parameter, leaf area was increased at potash level 60 kg ha-1 and the values of seeding density showed higher leaf area at seeding density level 8.5 kg ha-1. The same pattern showed of leaf area index where seeding density was higher at seeding density 8.5 kg ha-1.

Authors: Rashed A. , Bashir A. , Naheed S. , Abbas M. , Mahmood I.
Published: June 2023

The research based on cross-sectional data was conducted to develop a comprehensive characterization of the situation of students in higher education. In this regard, analysis of differences in various gender-related socio-economic characteristics was conducted that may motivate future systematic annual analysis of tertiary education demographics. To address the purpose of the study, first of all, the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad was purposively selected as a study population. Next, primary data was collected through well designed and pretested questionnaire from randomly selected 185 total students of second semester during under-graduate academic session 2019-20. Descriptive statistics show that traditional opinion of rural-male centered agricultural education was no more present because now 40% of student body was coming from urban areas as well as enrollment of female students in agricultural sciences was also increasing. Results further show that in many aspects females enjoy near parity with males. Female students were comparatively spending less on food and mobile-related items during studies despite their higher income family status. Even female students were significantly surpassing males based on the previous school, college and first semester examinations. Comparatively higher proportion of females planning to continue agricultural education up to Ph.D implies that gender disparity in agricultural education is diminishing. Given forthcoming changes in the agrarian economy of Pakistan and the country being signatory to sustainable development goals, it is suggested that the government should enhance safe pick and drop facilities particularly to females to lessen disparities in agricultural education. Similarly, more job placements should be arranged to absorb forthcoming agriculture graduates in the market. Finally, large sample-based studies on finding the statistical relationships among socio-economic characteristics of agriculture graduates is also suggested to give input for the development of the agriculture sector of the country.

The livelihoods of the people in Sungai Salak sub-district are mostly as farmers. The large number of coconut products in the salak river, makes many discarded coconuts/coconuts that are not feasible. However, these coconuts can actually be processed into random copra/white copra, but many people still don't understand how to process white copra, and many people don't dare to make white copra because there is no certainty about the selling price of white copra. Another factor is that copra does not reach white copra moisture content at 5% but in the range of 10-15%, this is also the influence of environmental factors and work systems, as well as the influence of temperature and the drying process which has an impact on the selling price of white copra itself. several determining factors supporting the success of processing white copra itself are in the work system, environment, and other factors. Temperature and drying process are also other factors in obtaining export standard white copra. If this is implemented by farmers, there will be no more wasted coconuts, and this can also improve the economy of the people in Sungai Salak Village.

 

Mata pencaharian masyarakat di kelurahan sungai salak, sebagian besar adalah sebagai petani. Banyaknya hasil kelapa di sungai salak, membuat banyaknya kelapa buangan/kelapa yang tidak layak. Namun kelapa tersebut sebenarnya masih bisa di olah menjadi kelapa kopra asalan/kopra putih, namun masih banyak belum memahami cara pengolahan kopra putih, dan banyak masyarakat tidak berani membuat kopra putih karena tidak adanya kepastian harga jual kopra putih. Faktor lainnya kopra tidak mencapai kadar air kopra putih di angka 5 % tetapi di kisaran 10-15 %, ini juga menjadi pengaruh dari faktor lingkungan dan sistem kerja, dan juga pengaruh suhu dan proses pengeringan hingga berdampak pada harga jual kopra putih itu sendiri. beberapa faktor penentu penunjang keberhasilan pengolahan kopra putih sendiri berada di sistem kerja, lingkungan, dan faktor lainnya. Suhu dan proses pengeringan juga menjadi faktor lainnya untuk mendapatkan kopra putih yang berstandar ekspor. Apabila hal tersebut diterapkan oleh petani, maka tidak ada lagi kelapa yang terbuang, dan hal tersebut juga dapat meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat di kelurahan sungai salak.

Authors: Korucuoglu U
Published: June 2023

Purpose: To describe prevalence, presenting symptoms and severity of COVID infection in our pregnant population. To determine the association between COVID infection and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preclampsia and preterm birth. To discuss the effect of the disease on cesarean section rates. 

Methodology: This study included retrospective analysis of 167 pregnancies complicated with COVID infection in a single center between March 2020 and April 2022.

Findings: Prevalence of COVID infection was 18,1% (167/925) in our population. Most common presenting symptom was fever with a rate of 61,1% (102 of 167 pregnancies). Second most common symptom was cough with a rate of 52,7% (88 of 167 pregnancies). Three patients have been hospitalized for severe infection (1.8%). None of these patients required admission to the intensive care unit or mechanical ventilation. Eight patients delivered before 37 weeks of pregnancy resulting in a preterm rate of 4,8%. None of these 167 pregnancies were complicated with preclampsia. Forty-two of the 167 deliveries were performed by vaginal route, resulting in a cesarean section rate of 74,9%. This rate varied between 35 to 50% during years in our center before pandemics.  

Recommendation: Our findings do not match with previously published data, and reveal a more benign course during pregnancy. These results are expected to decrease the anxiety of pregnant women diagnosed with COVID and shed light to management of future infections.
A Penetrating Effect: From Becquerel’s Serendipity to A Scientific Knowledge
Authors: Meneses Jethromel M.
Published: June 2023

This paper comprehensively examines Antoine Henri Becquerel’s discovery of radioactivity in 1896, a groundbreaking scientific advancement often viewed through serendipity. This case study explores the typologies of serendipity and investigates the conditions that foster its occurrence. A detailed study of Becquerel’s investigations reveals that his discovery aligns with a Walpolian type of serendipity, characterized by true serendipity heavily influenced by unforeseen experimental results. This paper emphasizes the role of bisociation, a cognitive process associating previously disconnected concepts, in Becquerel’s discovery, challenging the view that his discovery was merely a chance event. Instead, it argues that Becquerel’s discovery represents an intricate interplay of logic and chance, exemplifying the Walpolian type of serendipity. Moreover, by examining Becquerel’s experimental design, results, and innovative approach, this paper illustrates that his discovery adheres to the fundamental aspects of the scientific method, albeit executed in a non-linear and iterative manner. The process and context of Becquerel’s discovery provide valuable insights into scientific knowledge inception, progression, and definition, underscoring the intertwined roles of serendipity and scientific inquiry in advancing science.

Trata-se de uma revisão da literatura, com pesquisa em livros, artigos, trabalhos acadêmicos e documentos oficiais e apresentação de projetos com o uso da tecnologia para a pratica de aula remota. O significado implícito, que se pode perceber, aprofundando-se no discurso da prática escolar com uso das mídias, seja aqui ou em outro lugar, é que nem sempre os conteúdos trabalhados na escola se articulam com a realidade dos estudantes, o que causa, no mínimo, desânimo ou estado de conformação com a realidade, contudo, as atividades mostradas são uma iniciativa que quebra os paradigmas do ensino tradicional presencial e desconectado com a realidade virtual. As tecnologias devem ser postas à discussão em termos de suas aplicações imediatas, tais como registro e sistematização de informações sobre o processo e resultados da educação escolar; proporcionar integração entre as dimensões tecnológicas, administrativas e pedagógicas; incrementar novas formas de tratar a produção e busca de conhecimento; utilizar conhecimentos já dominados na escola quanto aos recursos para criar parcerias e solução de problemas para sua implementação.

Agroecologia na sociedade da positividade de Byung-Chul Han
Authors: Smaniotto Tres Guilherme , Sousa Washington José de
Published: June 2023

Nosso objetivo é qualificar, a partir da obra do filósofo Byung-Chul Han, implicações da sociedade da positividade neoliberal à prática agroecológica, indicando desafios e impasses. Han entende que a subjetividade contemporânea é marcada pelo excesso de positividade e a sensação de que, em busca de desempenho máximo, o indivíduo tem o poder de poder. Atomizado, o indivíduo volta-se a si mesmo em um narcisismo exacerbado, fazendo com que o outro, e tudo aquilo que remete às coisas do mundo que geram atritos, o negativo, desapareçam. Apesar de os movimentos agroecológicos resistirem às formas hegemônicas que orientam a produção agrícola contemporânea, desde o uso da terra até a privatização da biodiversidade, estão eles igualmente submetidos à subjetividade neoliberal. Nesse quadro, argumentamos que o fazer agroecológico, baseado em sistemas de crenças, cultos, rituais locais e temporalidade peculiares, se inviabiliza e, desse modo, tendem à homogeneização.

Authors: Kamisin Asilah , Achin Imelda Ann
Published: June 2023

Karakter merupakan antara salah satu elemen penting dalam naratif. Setiap karakter mempunyai personaliti yang tersendiri dan berbeza-beza bagi menghidupkan sesebuah cerita. Kebanyakan reka bentuk karakter animasi tempatan adalah berdasarkan manusia dan haiwan yang mana boleh dinilai dengan mudah, tetapi bagi karakter antropomorfik objek (inanimate) adalah sedikit rumit. Hal ini demikian kerana pergerakan mereka yang terbatas kerana tidak mempunyai anggota kaki, tangan dan juga wajah. Walaupun begitu, personaliti juga boleh dikaji melalui bentuk dan warna pada karakter. Oleh itu, kajian ini akan memfokuskan tentang personaliti karakter protagonis dan antagonis melalui bentuk dan warna. Hal ini demikian kerana kedua-dua aspek ini lebih dominan dalam reka bentuk karakter antropomorfik objek (inanimate) dalam filem animasi Wheely (2018). Analisis dibuat berdasarkan konsep Bahasa Bentuk dan teori Colour Affects System dan hasil kajian mendapati bahawa bentuk dan warna dapat melambangkan personaliti karakter protagonis dan antagonis dalam filem animasi Wheely (2018).
 
Character is one of the most important elements in a narrative. Each character has its own personality and differences in order for a story to be ‘alive’. Most of the animation character designs are based on human and animal which can be read easily. As for inanimate object anthropomorphic characters, it can be quite challenging as most of them have no arms, legs and even facial parts which caused limitation in their movements. Thus, this paper will be focusing on how the personality of the protagonist and antagonist characters in the animation film Wheely (2018) can be conveyed through shapes and colours as these two aspects are the most dominant in inanimate object anthropomorphic characters.The analysis was made based on the concept of Shape Language as well as the Colour Affects System theory. The final result shows that shapes and colours could reflect on the protagonist and antagonist characters’ personality in the animated film Wheely (2018).

ABSTRACT

This writing is a pilot study that has been done as an effort to identify suitable research sites. Overall, this article discusses the authorsâ€™ initial findings of ancient paintings after visiting the Painted Cave in Niah, Sarawak. The main objective of the author is to identify the images and motives that have been produced on the cave wall panels. Subsequently, the author also made a brief analysis of some of the images that had been identified. This site is selected because the writer sees the significant in preserving the fading image. This issue is serious because the cave paintings are the treasures of the nationâ€™s heritage that should be preserved. The ancient paintings are evidence of the development of the minds of ancient society before this modern day. At the end of this research stage, authors reproduce digital images as collections for future storage. This effort is important in maintaining the art legacy, especially visual art as it is the starting point for the development of visual arts in Malaysia.

Puisi menjadi salah satu karya sastra yang diminati oleh banyak orang. Kumpulan kata yang dituangkan dalam bentuk bait-bait disampaikan melalui ungkapan indah, gaya bahasa yang bervariatif serta imajinatif membuat pembaca mampu merasakan makna yang terkandung di dalamnya. Hal tersebut sejalan dengan pernyataan Kosasih (2012: 97), bahwa puisi adalah bentuk karya sastra yang menggunakan kata-kata indah dan kaya akan makna. Oleh karena itulah yang demikian tersebut menjadi daya tarik tersendiri dari sebuah karya sastra puisi. Pada jenjang pendidikan sekolah menengah atas, puisi merupakan materi wajib yang diajarkan pendidik di kelas X mata pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia. Pembelajaran puisi menjadi penting untuk dipelajari peserta didik agar dapat menuangkan pemikiran serta mengutarakan perasaan dengan melibatkan pemilihan kata, bahasa kiasan, rima, bunyi serta ekspresi untuk menghasilkan sebuah puisi yang bermakna sehingga pesan dapat tersampaikan secara utuh. Namun demikian, dalam menciptakan sebuah puisi perlu memperhatikan unsur pembangun puisi dan pilihan kata atau diksi yang tepat agar makna dapat langsung diterima oleh pembaca. Dalam hal ini, sebagian besar peserta didik cenderung bingung dan sulit menemukan variasi diksi untuk mengekspresikan ide-idenya. Untuk itu, tujuan melakukan penelitian ini adalah agar peserta didik dapat menganalisis unsur pembangun puisi. Satu diantaranya yaitu diksi, menemukan solusi untuk menambah penguasaan diksi atau pilihan kata serta menulis puisi. Dalam menemukan hasil penelitian, peneliti mengimplementasikan metode deskriptif kualitatif dan teknik library research sebagai pendukung untuk mengambil. Adapun metode pembelajaran yang diterapkan adalah Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) melalui kegiatan Lesson Study yang meliputi plan (perencanaan), do (pelaksanaan) dan see (refleksi). Setelah melakukan observasi, mengolah data dan menganalisis temuan, peserta didik dapat mengidentifikasi diksi, memahami arti diksi serta menulis sebuah puisi dengan diksi-diksi baru yang telah ditemukan.

An approach to track instrument calibration and produce consistent products with the version-8 total column ozone algorithm (V8TOZ)
Authors: Zhang Zhihua , Niu Jianguo , Flynn Lawrence E. , Beach Eric , Beck Trevor
Published: June 2023

Abstract. The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) has been on board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite since October 2011 and was followed by an OMPS on NOAA-20 (N20) in November 2017 as part of the US Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program. The OMPS measurements
are processed to yield various products of atmospheric composition data for
near-real-time monitoring and offline study, including retrievals of total
column ozone (TCO) and an ultraviolet-absorbing aerosol index (AI) based on
the version-8 total ozone (V8TOZ) algorithm. With the implementation of
changes to employ a broadband channel approach in the NOAA OMPS V8TOZ, the
retrieved TCO and AI products have become more stable and consistent between
S-NPP and N20. Two particular regions have been chosen for building
soft-calibration adjustments for both OMPS S-NPP and N20, which force the
V8TOZ retrievals to be in quite good agreement from both sensors with little change by season. However, bias analysis shows that some noticeable errors and differences still exist after soft-calibration, and those errors appear to be quite persistently associated with solar zenith angle (SZA) and satellite viewing angle (SVA) in the retrievals of TCO and AI for both OMPS S-NPP and N20. Comparisons of TCO and AI from NOAA OMPS retrievals with other products
such as those from the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) and the
Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) show that, although the sensor,
algorithm, and solar spectra are different among them, the overall retrievals from those products are quite similar and consistent.
