The study investigate the Effects Of Individualized Learning Technique On Achievement Of Upper Basic Social Studies Students In Pankshin Local Government Area Of Plateau State, Nigeria. The research employed quasi-experimental, non-equivalent pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental research design. The population consisted of 1,191 students of the public secondary schools. The population is presented in Table 2. It is made up of 663 male and 528 female. The sample was 153 Social Studies students in the intact classes. The experimental groups consisted of 44 males and 41 females while the control groups was made of 38 males and 30 females. The stratified sampling technique was adopted to select the sample for the study. This technique is deemed appropriate because the researcher intended to use students in urban and rural schools for the study. Social Studies Achievement Test (SSAT), as instrument for data collection. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer all the research questions while inferential statistics specifically, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The use of ANCOVA helped to control any initial differences that existed between the group in the dependent variables and other extraneous factors that could affect the results other than the treatment. The findings revealed that The experimental groups have a mean score of 34.04 with a standard deviation of 10.21 in the pre-test and a mean score of 66.96 with a standard deviation of 10.15 in the post-test, higher than the pre-test mean score with a mean gain of 32.92. This means that there was an improvement in the achievement of students after treatment. The findings reveal that students in the experimental group had a higher achievement mean score (66.96) after treatment using individualized learning technique as against those in the control group (40.54) who were not given treatment, with a mean difference of 27.2. The study recommends among others that Educational authorities in Plateau State should consider integrating individualized learning strategies into the curriculum for Social Studies and other subjects. This can be done through the development of teaching materials that cater to diverse learning styles and paces.

We analyze the effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the partial military mobilization,and the Wagner Group rebellion on a broad set of sentiments in the Russian population, using the exogenous timing of surveys from Gallup World Poll and the Levada Center. Our results show strong rally ‘round the flag effects and widespread domestic support for the war, sustained despite high casualties through strategic recruitment and economic compensations. While it thus seems unlikely that a public uprising will end the war soon, we also find that sentiments among Russians abroad have shifted agai nstPutin, aligning with global views.

Sentiment analysis is a widely used technique in psychology, politics, and marketing that makes use of computational linguistics and natural language processing. The main focus of this research is a thorough literature assessment on sentiment analysis that is especially used with dialectical Arabic. Different dialects have different syntax, morphology, and grammar, which makes it difficult to classify polarity in dialectical Arabic. Our Systematic literature review investigates several aspects of sentiment analysis for dialectical Arabic in order to address these problems and support scholars working on similar projects. We identify the following phases as crucial: preprocessing, feature extraction, text annotation, and the chosen methodologies. We also present a newly corpus of 14,141 Iraqi dialect Facebook comments for benchmarking all of the text sentiment analysis and polarity classification on Iraqi texts. This corpus can be considered as an invaluable tool for sentiment analysis research in Arabic language setting

RESUMO Objetivos: compreender os significados da violência internalizados ao longo da vida por idosos que vivem na área rural. Métodos: estudo qualitativo, ancorado no referencial teórico do Interacionismo Simbólico e no referencial metodológico da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados na vertente construtivista. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de entrevistas individuais. Os dados foram codificados com auxílio do software Atlas.ti. Resultados: foi possível identificar que o contexto da área rural fortalece a cultura do patriarcalismo, bem como contribui para que a violência seja silenciada e naturalizada. Constatou-se também que a violência é um produto da desigualdade social e da desigualdade de gênero. Considerações Finais: os idosos moradores da área rural internalizaram a violência sofrida de forma singular, e os aspectos próprios desse cenário podem potencializar a violência intrafamiliar, pois há uma cultura patriarcalista que promove a desigualdade social e de gênero.
REALIZATION OF HIGHLY SELECTIVE HYBRID SIW-DGS BAND PASS FILTERS USING HILBERT DOUBLE CURVE RING (HDCR)
Authors: Chaib Mohammed El Amine , Cherif Nabil , Abri Mehadji , Badaoui Hadjira
Published: November 2024

A new band-pass filter based on the hybrid structure of defected ground structure (DGS) and substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is presented. The DGS of this filter are achieved by etching the proposed Hilbert double curve ring (HDCR) on the ground plane. Although the proposed filter has a compact total size of 27.5 × 27.5 mm, the use of diagonal input/out feeding lines are helpful to get a more compact half mode prototype, which is achieved by cutting the original filter diagonally. Both filters, implemented on FR-4 substrate, and they show a high selectivity narrow bandpass behavior centered almost on the same frequency which is around 5.07 GHz with a fractional bandwidth FBW/return loss of 4.3/-26 dB and 6.7/-37 dB for the proposed filter and the half mode, respectively. Five TZs have been generated for each filter with a good rejection level in the upper stop band of -27 dB and -29 dB, respectively, for the proposed prototype and its half mode respectively. The proposed prototypes are fabricated and measured; the simulation and experimental findings correspond well.
Sustainability of knotworking as a teacher professional development strategy
Authors: Andrews Douglas
Published: November 2024

Teachers are faced with emerging and often complex constraints that can impact their ability to be pedagogically responsive to learners' different needs. These constraints or challenges were compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, I extend scholarship in the field of teacher professional development by exploring the potential of implementing a nuanced form of collaborative intervention strategy called knotworking. There is a growing literature, some of which is discussed in this paper, on the utilisation of cultural historical activity theory-based constructs, which include Engeström's (2000a, 2001) knotworking heuristic, to manage the complex, value-based problems that teachers and school leaders are confronted with daily. This paper is a follow-up study that reported on a year-long knotworking intervention at a primary school in Johannesburg. The findings from the initial project (Andrews, 2024) showed that teachers were able to identify complex problems constraining their teaching and, through collaboration, generate new knowledge and teaching methods and deepen their understanding of how to be pedagogically responsive to the different learning needs of their children. In this follow-up paper, the participants in the initial knotworking intervention were interviewed to explore whether the new knowledge or practices they identified and implemented in the classroom had been sustained a year later. Findings from the qualitative data generated from the semi-structured interviews with the teachers show that much of the new knowledge, which included teaching practices, classroom management plans, or learner interventions that emanated from the knotworking interventions were still in use a year later and, in some instances, were integrated into internal operational policies.

Published: November 2024

Havacılık ve uzay uygulamalarında zehirli gazların insanlarla temas noktalarındaki etkisinin belirlenmesinde sensörler çok önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada, havacılık ve uzay alanında birçok farklı gazın etkilerinin insanlara zarar vermeden anlaşılabilmesi için ZnO filmlerin gaz sensörü uygulamaları önerilmektedir. Bu çalışma havacılık uygulamalarında kullanılacak gaz sensörleri için cam alt tabaka üzerinde ZnO yarı iletken filmlerin sentezini ve karakterizasyonunu sistematik olarak açıklamaktadır. Bu kaplamalar sol-jel tekniği kullanılarak cam altlıklar üzerinde başarılı bir şekilde sentezlenmiştir. Bu süreçte, farklı konsantrasyonlarda Zn asetat, metanol ve glasiyel asetik asit kullanılarak şeffaf çözeltiler hazırlanmıştır. Termal ve yapısal özelliklere ek olarak, düşük konsantrasyonlu Zn içeren çözeltiden hazırlanan filmin çatlaksız, iğne deliği içermeyen ve sürekli bir yüzeye sahip olduğu ve filmlerde yüzey pürüzlülüğü ve çatlakların artan katman sayısı ile arttığı bulunmuştur. ZnO tabanlı gaz sensörlerinin uçak içinde zehirli gazlara maruz kalınabilecek oda sıcaklığında ve termal yönetim ve kaza önleme açısından önemli olabilecek motor alanına yakın yüksek sıcaklıklarda kullanılması önerilmektedir. Bu çalışmaların dikkat çekici bir sonucu olarak, yenilikçi çalışmalar olarak çözelti koşulları ile film kalitesi arasında sistematik korelasyonlar kurulmuş ve sol-jel yöntemi ile yüksek kaliteli ZnO film üretilerek havacılık uygulamalarında gaz sensörlerinde kullanılmasına katkı sağladığı tespit edilmiştir.
Las primeras ejemplificaciones en ELE
Authors: Escudero Paniagua Francisco
Published: November 2024

The Anonymous Leuven grammars were two of the first grammars for teaching/learning Spanish as a foreign language (ELE) in history. The have been compared because of their contextual similarities. The aim of this paper is to compare both grammars, paying attention to an object of study wich is receibing increasing attention in linguistic historiography and which is fundamental in the teaching of ELE: the grammar exemplification. The main objective is to better understand the two grammars through the study of exemplification, and the influence of linguistic and extralinguistic factors on it. The analisis has been carried out based on the exemplification’s theory developed in previous works (e. g. Escudero Paniagua, 2022, 2023a, 2023b). Specifically, we have analysed: i) the quantity of exemplification in each grammar; ii) the exemplification mechanisms used; iii) the thypological variety of language’s (anti)fragments used in exemplification; iv) the languages in which the exemples are written; and v) the sources of  exemples. The results show substantial differences in almost all aspects, althought both exemplificaions are simple, aimed at illustration rather than inciting linguistic reflection. Only the 1559 grammar provides a more complex exemplification of the pronunciation and writing of Castilian, especially by comparing exemples in different languages.
Nepal’s Status‐Seeking Endeavors: Between Normative Convergence and Geopolitical Interests
Authors: Chand Bibek
Published: November 2024

Due to limited material and geopolitical factors, the agency of small states is limited in international politics. As such, these states may seek to mitigate such weaknesses through status-seeking, adopting peculiar foreign policy approaches or international commitments to signal to more powerful actors about specific political or normative affinities. In this article, the conceptual framework of social identity theory, specifically social mobility, is used to assess Nepal’s foreign policy choices. It is argued that Nepal pursues the identity management strategy of social mobility in the form of normative conformance with more powerful actors to reinforce its status in the international community but not necessarily to rise up in the hierarchy of states. Social mobility through normative conformance not only allows Nepal to elevate its status with higher-status groups like the EU, the UN, and US (which are the country’s primary development partners), but it also reinforces Nepal’s interest in maintaining (and if possible, expanding) its agency as a sovereign state which is constrained due to its geopolitical location in between much larger neighbors, India and China. Nepal’s normative convergence efforts are broadly categorized into two specific types of commitments: (a) multilateralism and (b) normative congruence with development partners. Both of these normative conformance approaches seek to emulate the values and practices of the higher-status group—the US, the UN, and the EU.
Introduction: Perceptions, Reflections, and Conceptualisations of War and Peace in Children’s Drawings
Authors: Blasch Lisa , Langer Phil C. , Thoma Nadja
Published: November 2024

In this editorial, we introduce the focus of this thematic issue and its contributions. Addressing the themes of “war” and “peace” and their impacts on children requires contextualization within socio‐historical, socio‐cultural, socio‐psychological, and educational frameworks. Equally, it is essential to tackle the methodological challenges inherent in this field of empirical research. The rise of child‐centred and participatory approaches over recent decades—emphasizing children as active agents—has enriched the research landscape, offering a counterbalance to the quantitative and developmental psychological traditions. Yet, as the contributions demonstrate, there is no methodological “gold standard” for this field. Rather, the topic’s complexity calls for a diverse array of approaches and perspectives, including those that push beyond conventional academic frameworks and methods.
GEORGE F. KENNAN’S DIPLOMATIC SERVICE IN THE USSR (1952): OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Gorodnia Nataliya
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the article is to describe and discuss G. F. Kennan’s diplomatic service as the U.S. Ambassador to the USSR, the political environment and other factors that affected it. Methodology. This is a qualitative empirical research, based on a critical analysis of primary sources: diplomatic correspondence and notes, foreign policy reports and speeches, memoirs and published G. Kennan’s works. The research topic is studied against the background of U.S.-Soviet relations, and major international developments in the early 1950s. The scientific novelty of this research is based on the coverage of a topic that has not been sufficiently studied, and in the introduction of new primary sources for this purpose. Conclusions. G. Kennan was one of a few representatives of the American establishment who sought to reach an agreement with the USSR on the most pressing international issues, and normalize bilateral relations through negotiations. His appointment as Ambassador to the USSR created a «window of opportunity» to open discussions on the major issues. However, this opportunity was not realized due to the unprecedented anti-American campaign in the USSR, and the lack of the Soviet government’s interest in any contacts with the Ambassador. G. Kennan even assumed that the USSR was preparing for the war with the U.S., that he had previously denied. Finally, he reaffirmed his views that the underlying reason for Soviet conduct was a thesis of the instability and weakness of the capitalist world, and the inability of the United States to withstand constant attacks from the USSR and the communist movement. Therefore, the USSR policy was aimed at undermining U.S. authority and splitting the Western coalition. G. Kennan believed that in such circumstances no talks with the USSR were possible. He focused on addressing the anti-American campaign, and the erroneous Soviet beliefs. Instead, the Soviet government declared him persona non grata, just on the eve of the 19th Party Congress, which G. Kennan linked to the possibility of Stalin’s departure from power.

Tapai is a traditional food obtained from a fermentation process using yeast. The material used in the manufacture of tapai is a material that contains starch. One of the starchy ingredients that can be processed into tapai is the janten banana. Quality tapai has a distinctive taste, sweet and sour, producing an alcoholic aroma. Tapai quality can also be determined based on its physicochemical characteristics. Tapai fermentation is influenced by several factors, namely the yeast concentration and the cooking method used. This study aims to prove the effect of yeast concentration with various cooking methods on the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of Janten banana tapai. The yeast concentrations were 0.5% and 2%, while the cooking methods used were steaming and boiling. This experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factorials and two repetitions. The data were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA test with a level of α=5%, and if there was a significant effect, then a DMRT follow-up test was carried out with a level of α=5%. Treatment of 2% yeast concentration using the steam cooking method produced the best janten banana tapai with a texture value of 2.93 mm/g/s, 68.03% moisture content, 1.61% ash content, 3.25% alcohol content, pH 4 .78 and 25.55% total titrated acid.

Authors: Sanjaya I Putu Andika , Astuti Kamsih
Published: November 2024

There are numerous factors that drive adolescents to smoke, one of which is the presence of negative or irrational thoughts related to smoking behavior itself. Such thoughts include beliefs that smoking makes them appear more masculine, more accepted within their social circles, among other irrational perceptions. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) using cognitive restructuring techniques in a group setting to reduce smoking frequency in adolescents by addressing their irrational thought patterns. A quantitative experimental method was employed, using a pretest-posttest control group design. A total of 8 students were randomly assigned to two groups. Data analysis was conducted using parametric statistical tests, specifically the independent sample t-test and the correlated/paired sample t-test. The results indicate that cognitive restructuring techniques applied in group setting significantly reduce smoking behavior among adolescents.

Authors: Furqan Muhammad Mujahidin , Fajrin Hanifah Rahmi
Published: November 2024

Tahun 2020 dunia digemparkan dengan adanya pandemi Covid-19 yang menjangkit puluhan juta warga dunia dan memakan banyak korban jiwa. Untuk itu berbagai keperluan logistik dan obat-obatan harus disalurkan secepat mungkin kepada penderita Covid-19. Selain itu, Indonesia merupakan negara yang memiliki banyak area yang sulit dijangkau oleh transportasi darat dan membutuhkan biaya yang besar jika menggunakan helikopter. Melihat hal ini, maka dibutuhkan pesawat tanpa awak (UAV) untuk melakukan pengiriman obat-obatan. UAV ini berupa pesawat  fixed wing yang akan digunakan untuk mengantarkan kotak obat dengan variasi berat 0 kg, 500 gram, dan 1 kg. Selain itu juga dilakukan pengujian jarak, waktu dan kecepatan untuk mengetahui kemampuan pesawat dalam mengantarkan barang.  Setelah dilakukan pengujian, untuk beban 1 kilogram, waktu yang dibutuhkan cenderung sedikit lebih lama dibandingkan dengan beban 500 gram untuk setiap jarak yang sama. Pengujian tanpa beban (0 kg) waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk menempuh jarak tertentu cenderung meningkat seiring dengan peningkatan beban pesawat.  Perbedaan waktu terbesar terjadi antara jarak 1 km dan 2 km (1,83 detik), sementara perbedaan waktu terkecil terjadi antara jarak 3 km dan 4 km (1,06 detik). Dari kesimpulan tersebut ada beberapa faktor yang harus dipertimbangkan seperti jarak dan beban dalam merancang dan mengevaluasi pengiriman menggunakan pesawat fixed wing.

Salah satu penyebab kematian ibu hamil yang sangat tinggi  di Indonesia adalah masalah obstetrik. Keadaan situasi darurat pada ibu hamil dapat berupa kehilangan kesadaran secara tiba-tiba yang disebabkan oleh suplai oksigen dan darah (saturasi) yang tidak memadai ke otak. Apabila nilai saturasi oksigen berada 95%, berarti ibu hamil dikatakan dalam keadaan situasi darurat. Keadaan situasi darurat dapat di kategorikan menjadi 2, yaitu apabila nilai  saturasi oksigen berkisar 90-95%, maka ibu hamil dalam keadaan  situasi darurat 1. Adapun ketika  saturasi oksigen dibawah dari 90%, maka ibu hamil dalam keadaan situasi darurat 2. Pada penelitian ini sensor MAX30100 merupakan alat yang digunakan untuk memonitoring jumlah kadar oksigen (saturasi) dalam darah yang dimonitoring langsung dengan aplikasi ON-MOMHasil penelitian alat sensor MAX30100 menunjukkan kondisi pada keadaaan normal dengan nilai kadar oksigen darah diatas  95%, keadaaan situasi darurat 1 dengan nilai kadar oksigen darah 93% dan kondisi situasi darurat 1 dengan kada oksigen darah dibawah 89% yang dimonitoring langsung dengan aplikasi ON-MOM, dimana keakuratan alat ini memiliki selisih 1.125% dengan alat sebenarnya. Hasil dari penelitian ini memperkenalkan ON-MoM sebagai sebuah aplikasi pintar yang dirancang untuk meningkatkan kualitas pengawasan kehamilan dan mempercepat penanganan situasi darurat pada ibu hamil serta menurunkan angka kematian ibu dan bayi.

Published: November 2024

O franco CFA, uma moeda criada para as colônias francesas da África, continua a ser utilizada até os dias de hoje em duas uniões monetárias, no centro e no oeste do continente. Com objetivo de compreender o papel dessa moeda como ferramenta neocolonial, o presente trabalho perpassa pelo histórico anterior à criação do franco CFA até o final de 2019. Além disso, se expõe o funcionamento desse sistema e como ele atua em benefício da antiga metrópole a partir de seus quatro pilares de funcionamento: 1) paridade fixa entre o franco CFA e a moeda francesa; 2) livre movimentação de capitais entre a zona do franco e a França; 3) conversibilidade do franco CFA garantida pelo Tesouro Francês; 4) centralização das reservas internacionais em uma conta de transações no Tesouro Francês. Como contribuição secundária, esse trabalho pretende contribuir para a escassa produção sobre o tema em língua portuguesa.

A ARBITRAGEM NA PERSPECTIVA DOS DANOS AMBIENTAIS
Authors: Marion Spengler Fabiana , Kolling Konzen Carolina
Published: November 2024

Esta pesquisa analisa a (in)aplicabilidade da arbitragem quando se está diante de conflitos oriundos de danos ambientais individuais e coletivos. Para tanto, este artigo foi elaborado com base no método de abordagem dedutivo e nas técnicas de pesquisas bibliográficas, legislativas e doutrinárias, com a finalidade de responder o seguinte questionamento: é possível se valer da arbitragem para solucionar danos individuais e coletivos que advém de lesões ao meio ambiente? A pertinência da pesquisa justifica-se em razão da relevância do tema envolvendo a proteção ao meio ambiente, já que é direito e dever de todos preservá-lo para as presentes e futuras gerações. Igualmente, a arbitragem é um procedimento complementar à jurisdição estatal em constante desenvolvimento e aperfeiçoamento no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, sobretudo no âmbito das relações que giram em torno do meio ambiente. Conclui-se, portanto, que a utilização da jurisdição arbitral no Direito Ambiental está limitada aos conflitos disponíveis e patrimoniais, de modo que resta impossibilitada quando o conflito resulta do meio ambiente enquanto direito difuso e indisponível.
VOZES NEGRAS NO ENSINO DE HISTÓRIA:

Published: November 2024

O presente artigo visa discutir a interlocução entre o ensino de História e a utilização da literatura como instrumento pedagógico facilitador do processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Para isso, foi utilizado o romance Úrsula, de Maria de Firmina dos Reis, o livro Ponciá Vicêncio e o poema Vozes Mulheres, ambos de Conceição Evaristo. A obra da maranhense Firmina dos Reis, publicada em 1860, permite (re)pensar o papel dos sujeitos escravizados e a dinâmica escravista durante o Brasil Império. Já os escritos de Evaristo fornecem uma rica discussão em torno do lugar da população negra neste século e, em boa medida, permite perceber as nuances e permanências da lógica da escravidão ainda presentes na atualidade. A introdução desses textos em sala de aula visa romper com um silenciamento intelectual, cultural, científico e educacional imposto à produção e disseminação das obras de autores negros, em especial, as mulheres. O ponto em comum estabelecido para unir duas autoras pertencentes a contextos históricos diferentes foi o conceito de dororidade, elemento que perpassará por todo o artigo como ferramenta de confluência e de diálogo com a população negra, seja durante o período imperial, seja na atualidade.
PANDEMIA E SOFRIMENTO SOCIAL:

Published: November 2024

Este artigo tem como intuito entender as dinâmicas familiares trazidas pelo isolamento social, que surgiram no período da pandemia – e no cenário pós-pandêmico –, ampliando a vivência de um contexto de vulnerabilidade social, com maior exposição dos corpos das mulheres, tornando-as mais suscetíveis a situações de precariedade financeira, emocional e física. Esse contexto nos leva a refletir sobre como a pandemia escancarou situações de vulnerabilidades de mulheres, que até então era despercebida pela sociedade. As lutas diarias de muitas mulheres que possuem dupla/tripla cargahoraria de trabalho é sempre despercebida, ainda mais se um desses trabalhos forem o domestico. A metodologia usada para a pesquisa do presente artigo se deu a partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa – aplicada remotamente com alunas do campus de São Bernardo/MA, pela plataforma google meet, as entrevistas foram feitas com seis mulheres, com rotinas e diferentes faixas etárias. – serão apresentados depoimentos e falas que elucidam o processo de precarização da vida, vivência do luto e sofrimento social em decorrência da covid-19, Por residirem na Região Leste Maranhense, com escassez de acesso a emprego e renda antes mesmos da presença do vírus, essas alunas, mães, chefes de família em suamaioria, foram obrigadas a trabalhar em serviços informais. Na falta de renda, assumindo trabalhos dentro e fora de seus lares, tendo carga horaria significamnte exautivas. Os textos usados no refencial teorico foram indicação da orientadora do projeto, autores que apontam bem o contexto que estava sendo vivido naquele momento pelas participantes da pesquisa.

Published: November 2024

Sugar industry is a crucial agricultural sector, producing large amounts of effluent affecting the environment. In order to study the effect of sugar mill effluents on native floral diversity in the locale of Kisan Sehkari Sugar Mill, Semikhera, Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh), the physicochemical analysis of the mill’s effluents and native soil was carried out. pH, EC, TDS, TS, BOD, COD, and metals were recorded. Order of the heavy metal concentrations in soil and sugar mill effluent was: Fe> >Mg>, Cu>, Zn>, Ni>, Cr>, Pb>, Cd, and Fe>Mg>Zn>Cr>Mn>Cu>Pb>Co>Ni>Cd respectively and pH, EC, TDS, BOD, and COD were also significantly above the permissible limit. Extensive field surveys were conducted thrice a year to explore floral diversity. Results found a total 88 species of vascular plants. The Fabaceae family was found to be dominant, followed by Asteraceae, Moraceae, Apocynaceae, Solanaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Poaceae, Myrtaceae, and Amaranthaceae. Additionally, two species of pteridophytes from the families of Pteridaceae and Thelypteridaceae were also collected. As per taxonomic studies, 82% of species belonged to dicotyledons, while only 14% were monocotyledons. The present study’s results demonstrated that the effluents’ physicochemical properties are significantly higher compared to a permissible level determined by CPCB (2017). Dominant species were above 70 %, common species were 40 to 70% and rare species below 40 %. Overall results indicate the possibility of eco-restoration of waste disposal sites of sugar mill areas with these native species growing luxuriantly without showing any toxic effect.

Published: November 2024

Punica granatum L. (Pomegranate) is commercially valuable fruit belonging to Punicaceae family. Copper is essential micronutrient that plant require for various processes. Copper level and fatty acid composition was studied in order to find variation among healthy and cracked fruit of Punica granatum L. Fatty acid composition of pomegranate leaves was determined using hyphenated GC-MS technique while copper concentration was found using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Variation among fatty acids was found in healthy and cracked fruit. Predominant fatty acid in healthy fruit was Linolenic acid (40.95%) while Palmitic acid (41.38%) was in highest proportion in cracked fruit. Stearic acid was found absent in cracked fruits. Findings from AAS showed that excess copper (1.77ppm) was found in leaves of plant bearing cracked fruit. Variation in fatty acid and absence of stearic acid at early developing stage can be used for possible cracking detection in pomegranate fruit also, high copper level increase cracking in pomegranate, so pesticides and fungicide containing copper should be used in adequate amounts in order to reduce cracking in pomegranate fruits.
