The article presents the results of research on the selection and use of sprinkling machines in the cultivation of agrophytocenoses of fodder crops on irrigated lands of Northern Kazakhstan. Evaluation and selection of a sprinkling machine for Northern Kazakhstan were made on the basis of theoretical data from previous studies, taking into account the following factors – low water and energy intensity, less or safe volume of soil washout. The objects of the study were annual fodder crops for mowing, in field experiments classical methods were used, based on the principles of observing a single difference by setting up and laying field and laboratory experiments on soils typical for the region, selecting a sprinkling machine by analyzing theoretical indicators.The analysis showed that the pre-irrigation soil moisture is not taken into account when calculating the erosion-permissible irrigation rate, which causes the risk of runoff and soil erosion at high thresholds of pre-irrigation soil moisture (70% lowest moisture capacity and more), respectively, the use of the ValleyFP565 sprinkling machine, with the calculated Erosion-Permissible Irrigation Rate indicators, does not cause runoff water, respectively, soil erosion and an irrational increase in the irrigation rate. For the cultivation of mixed sowing of oats with mustard during irrigation with a growing season of 56 days, 4 irrigations were required with an irrigation rate of 1096 m3/ha. During irrigation, the total water consumption of oat crops with mustard was 1638 m3/ha, while the share of the irrigation norm in the total water consumption was 61.5%.

Studies have been conducted, the direction to study the growth of calves of a black-and-white breed, depending on the methods of cultivation. For the first time, individual cages were used on the farm to raise calves in a cold room. The calves were kept in individual cages from birth until the age of 3 months, then the calves were transferred to group maintenance. Raising calves in individual cages helps to increase the safety and growth of young animals. Allows to avoid to some extent contacts with conditionally pathogenic microflora, helps to increase the body's resistance to the effects of adverse environmental factors, reduce morbidity by 10%, increase the average daily gain by 22%, live weight by 6.1% in comparison with animals contained in the group method. With age, the difference in the indicators of the live weight of heifers became more and more distinct. Heifers of the individual method of cultivation at the age of 2 months outnumbered heifers of the group method of cultivation by 4.13 kg, or 5.3%, at the age of 6 months – by 9.95 kg, or 6.2%, and at the age of 12 months by 18.6 kg, or 6.4%. It is characteristic that heifers grown during the dairy period in individual cells retain an increased growth rate in subsequent age periods.

The purpose of this work is to compare the insect repellent efficacy of drugs in the protection of cattle from zoophilous flies in eastern Kazakhstan. The study was carried out in the summer in the field, during the period of the mass flight of flies, in three groups of cattle. Animals were treated by spraying. The two most commonly used preparations, Cypec 25%, Flyblock, were compared according to the attached instructions for use. The guide to the drugs indicates a period of validity of 20 days. As a result of the study, it was found that one of the drugs showed the best efficiency, up to 9 days after treatment. The analysis showed a significance level of p < 0.001. Thus, for effective protection of animals from ectoparasites, it is necessary to take into account not the periods indicated on the preparation, but the period of action on insects directly on the farm, because ectoparasites acquire resistance to insecticides.

The article presents the results of genotyping of Holstein cows of Bayserke-Agro LLP, Talgar district, Almaty region, for the estrogen receptor gene locus, ERα/BGLI SNP polymorphism. In the studied animals, the distribution of genetic variants by the ERα gene locus was established; The results of DNA testing indicate that the DNA of the tested cows has a violation of gene balance, in cows the G allele is predominantly found, the frequency of which was 0.83. The reproductive function of 120 cows with different genetic variants of the ERα gene was monitored and it was found that animals with good indicators of reproductive function had a heterozygous AG genotype. Also, to determine the associative effect of ERα gene alleles on the reproductive ability of cows, the index of non-return of cows on the 58th day after artificial insemination was determined, and according to this criterion, cows with a heterozygous AG genotype had advantages compared to animals with homozygous AA and GG genotypes. Conducting genotyping of cows at the ERα gene locus by PCR-RFLP analysis allows determining the genotype of animals and ERα/BGLI SNP polymorphism is recommended as a DNA marker of reproductive function in cows.

Authors: Basri
Published: February 2024

This study examines the complex terrain of property rights in Indonesia, revealing gaps, historical trends, legislative impact, and theoretical insights. The method used is qualitative. Legal writings (constitutions, statutes, commentaries), court decisions, policy papers, and historical records relating to property and land rights law in Indonesia were considered as the primary research sources. Data were analysed using triangulation and N-Vivo. The results show that modern property law is the result of historical developments characterised by post-independence changes and colonial legacies. A careful balance is required to address the challenges posed by the encroachment of economic interests on legislative provisions intended to protect people's rights. The results show that modern property law is the result of historical developments characterized by post-independence changes and colonial legacies. A careful balance is required to address the challenges posed by the encroachment of economic interests on legislative provisions intended to protect people's rights. The weaknesses and contradictions found in the legislative framework highlight the need for flexible solutions to meet the changing demands of society. The intersection between Islamic law, state law and customary law is best understood through the lens of legal pluralism theory. The consequences for marginalized groups highlight the urgency to prioritize their rights, which requires community engagement and participatory legal reform. The theoretical implications of legal pluralism support it as an analytical instrument, and the comparative analysis places Indonesia in a global context and offers suggestions for useful policy responses. The study concludes by recommending a flexible legal framework, international cooperation, and further investigation to support a more inclusive and egalitarian understanding of land rights in Indonesia.

Published: February 2024

Mangrove forests, as coastal ecosystems, play a crucial role in maintaining the sustainability of fishery resources and protecting shores from erosion and storms. However, mangrove degradation continues to escalate, primarily due to human activities such as shrimp pond expansion and uncontrolled logging. Public Relations programs can serve as effective tools to raise awareness and engage communities in mangrove conservation. Impact analysis and the development of a collaborative communication model are key to understanding the effectiveness of such programs. This research aims to analyze the impact of the Public Relations program on mangrove conservation and develop a more effective collaborative communication model. The focus is on understanding behavioral changes, community responses, and the program's contribution to the sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem. The research methodology employed is qualitative-descriptive with an impact analysis approach. Interviews with representatives from local communities, local governments, non-governmental organizations, and Public Relations practitioners were conducted to gather data. Content analysis was also performed on the program's communication materials. The research findings indicate that the Public Relations program has positively impacted the increase in community awareness and behavioral changes related to mangrove conservation. However, challenges persist concerning environmental uncertainties and the lack of participation from certain segments of the community. A collaborative communication model integrated with mangrove conservation theories, impact analysis, and community engagement proves essential for further improvement. The implications of this research reflect the importance of impact analysis and developing collaborative communication models in Public Relations programs for mangrove conservation. These findings underline that active collaboration with various stakeholders is key to ensuring the sustainability of mangrove ecosystems.

Published: February 2024

This kind of marketing involves using various techniques to arouse people's emotions and persuade them to buy various goods or services. Emotional advertising is a part of emotional marketing. The vital role that emotive marketing techniques play in influencing consumer behavior. This study explores the complex relationships between customer perceptions and the emotional appeal ingrained in marketing techniques, as firms increasingly understand the significance of emotional linkages in marketing. Emotions play a big role in purchasing decisions. Decisions and choices are influenced by both reasonable and emotional factors in social and professional contexts. This essay explores the relationship between consumer behavior and emotional marketing, as well as the impact that emotions have on customers' dynamic lives. Using a survey, 190 instances of different types of sentiments were randomly collected in order to understand the customers' responses to them. The questions focused on what emotions meant to them in certain situations, what kinds of emotions they experienced often, and how they felt after making a purchase. Based on the evaluation outcomes, it was discovered that emotions have a big role in customer behavior; in addition, it depends on their current mental state and past experiences. Even though it was shown that emotions affect customer behavior, the evidence was entirely emotive since everyone experiences emotions differently based on their daily interactions. Ensuring that every client's emotional requirements are met is almost impossible.
Walking with Ghosts along the Bazaar: Urban Life in Ludd, Palestine, at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
Authors: Daʿadli Tawfiq
Published: February 2024

When the major changes Palestine went through during the previous century are discussed, especially in terms of the urban and human landscape, few studies focus on the urban–social aspects. This study reconstructs the urban fabric of three neighborhoods in Ludd, one of Palestine’s major cities, situated on the way from Jaffa to Jerusalem. The reconstruction attempted here is dual: On one hand, the Old City no longer exists, like many towns and villages destroyed in the Nakba; on the other hand, Ludd’s indigenous inhabitants have been ethnically cleansed. Hence, we do not have traces of buildings or neighborhoods, and we have almost nobody left to tell us about their ancestors. Therefore, I reconstruct the physical contours of sections of the city and invite some ghosts from the past to lead us through the imagined neighborhoods.
Mycoremediation: Role of Mushroom in the bioremediation of heavy metals
Authors: Ganguly Krittika , Dey Lusi , Baksi Sibashish
Published: February 2024

The removal and recovery of heavy metals from the polluted environment are now possible because of the new and promising method known as bioremediation. Macrofungi can accumulate and break down a wide variety of hazardous metals and the same is a highly effective way to restore a damaged environment. In general, mushrooms recover contaminated or polluted soils using three efficient strategies: biodegradation, bioconversion, and biosorption. The process of mycoremediation employs a variety of wild and domesticated mushroom species which may break down significant amounts of organic and inorganic contaminants and eventually produce marketable goods or chemicals. White rot fungi have been widely employed in the conversion of pesticides, breakdown of petroleum hydrocarbons, and treatment of lignocellulosic waste in the pulp and paper sector. Several mushrooms, including Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Agaricus bisporus, Trametes versicolor, and Pleurotus ostreatus, among others, have been documented for their involvement in the remediation of contaminated locations..

Authors: Sarkar Moonmoon , Kundu Suprabuddha , Salma Umme , Mandal Nirmal
Published: February 2024

A practical and reliable method for in vitro tetraploidization of Bitter Gourd [Momordica charantia (L.)] has been established to enhance the production of charantin. Shoot tip from in vitro-grown culture (2n = 22) were exposed to the anti-mitotic chemical, i.e., colchicine, at various concentrations (0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3% along with 2% DMSO) for 12, 24, 36, and 48 h. The treated explants were then incubated and proliferated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium fortified with 1.5 mg L-1 benzyladenine and 0.5 mg L-1 naphthalene acetic acid, followed by root induction in 1.0 mg L-1 indole-3 acetic acid enriched 1/2MS medium. Treatment of shoot tips with 0.1% colchicine for 24 h supported the highest tetraploid induction efficiency (33.56 ±0.22%). Morphological, stomatal, and cytological characteristics along with the secondary metabolite content of the in vitro tetraploids were compared to that of diploids. The recovered tetraploid plants possessed superior plant height, stem diameter, leaf size, and increased length and width of stomata but decreased stomatal frequency. The tetraploid plants demonstrated twice the chromosome number (2n = 4x = 44) in respect to diploids as confirmed through cytology, spectrophotometry and flow cytometry. Highperformance liquid chromatography showed 1.09 times enhancement of charantin content in tetraploid plants than that of diploid plants, signifying the prospective of this technique for the trade value improvement.

Development Of Equation Of Curve To Estimate Volumetric Soil Moisture Content In CaseOf Tensiometer To Overcome The Moisture Measurement Error Due To Time Lag Issues
Authors: Majhi Tanmoy , Biswas R.K.
Published: February 2024

A field experiment was carried out at the Instructional Farm of Bidhan Chandra krishi viswavidyalaya, located in Mohanpur, Nadia, West Bengal, in order to explore the variations in estimation of soil moisture due to time lag issues in case of tensiometer. In this work, the gravimetric technique and tensiometers were used to calculate the volumetric soil moisture content. With regard to the gravimetric approach, which was considered as the reference method, the variation of volumetric soil moisture content derived from tensiometer was analysed. For the tensiometer, it was calculated that the coefficient of variation (CV) and standard deviation (STD) values were 0.213 and 6.95 respectively. The tensiometer data was processed to compare with that volumetric moisture data which was obtained via the gravimetric approach. The objective of this study is to generate an equation of curve which would estimate the actual (error-free) volumetric soil moisture content for tensiometer from the measured volumetric soil moisture content. The equation of the curve, y = 0.009x2 + 0.7786x + 7.0652, was generated by plotting volumetric soil moisture content under tensiometer against volumetric soil moisture measured by gravimetric method (observed data). As tensiometer is not capable of producingcorrect moisture values from known tension values using soil moisture characteristics curves, due to time lag issues, soin determining the correct soil moisture status, the method of development of the equation is necessary and was proved to be very much fruitful whenever this instrument was used in the field.

This study unravels the spectral footprint of the Paraná deposit, northeastern Brazil, and provides strategies for emerald exploration in mafic- and/or ultramafic-hosted deposits using point spectral data and hyperspectral imaging. Potential host rocks (phlogopite and actinolite-phlogopite schists) were discriminated from other associated lithotypes after petrography and whole-rock geochemistry, using binary MgO versus Al2O3 and PC1 versus PC3 diagrams. Spectrally, phlogopite schist is marked by Fe-OH absorption at ~2,250 nm and Mg-OH absorptions at ~2,330 and ~2,388 nm. When actinolite is present, a shoulder at ~2,296 nm is recorded, and the first Mg-OH absorption feature is shifted to ~2,315 nm. Emerald crystals have their spectral signature attenuated in the presence of phlogopite. In a 5% emerald and 95% schist mixture simulation, two emerald absorption features are recognizable at ~1,150 (H2O absorption) and ~2,155 nm. The emerald indices EI1, EI2, and EI3 were chosen for the automated identification of emeralds in the Paraná samples based on the features at ~1,150, ~1,460, and ~2,155 nm. For the host schists, three indices were provided (MIdepth, MIratio, and ACI) considering the Mg-OH features of phlogopite and actinolite, allowing automated distinction between potential mineralized and other associated rocks of the Paraná deposit. Our results show that, operating in high-resolution mode (pixels of ~1 mm), imaging spectroscopy can detect the presence and characterize emerald in handpicked samples and drill cores based on chromium- and iron-derived absorption features in the visible to near infrared range. It thus represents a swift, reliable, nondestructive, and relatively cost-effective method for exploring for emerald and, potentially, other gems.

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most frequent infectious agents causing hospitals and community associated infections. Developing the treatment for methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is a challenging arena for effective therapeutics. Application of antimicrobial peptides is an alternative option to control MRSA infection. The potential of the bioactive peptide against MRSA was previously revealed; however, the study on the effect of KR-12-a5 on the various clinical MRSA growth was not elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the effect of bioactive peptide KR-12-a5 on the growth of MRSA isolated from patients. Evaluation of KR-12-a5 peptide using antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed. Antimicrobial activity assay showed that the KR-12-a5 at 2-64 μM could inhibit the growth of S. aureus ATCC 29213 in the range of 55.0±0.8%-81.0±6.2%. In case of KR-12-a5 treatment at 2, 4, and 8 μM, growth of all twenty clinical MRSA isolates could be inhibited less than 90% in the range of 0.0-75.9±1.6%, 0.0-73.0±4.2%, and 0.0-77.1±1.7%, respectively. Whereas the treatment of those at 16, 32, and 64 μM, growth of clinical MRSA could be significantly inhibited more than 90% (p < 0.05) in the range of 94.3±6.7%-100.4±0.4% in 3 isolates (15%), 97.3±0.3%-99.5±0.2% in 4 isolates (20%), and 91.6±0.8%-99.0±0.1% in 9 isolates (45%), respectively. These findings indicated that the KR-12-a5 effectively controls growth of both S. aureus ATCC 29213 and clinical MRSA isolates

The presence of various types of coffee in Jember Regency is a testament to the richness and diversity of coffee drinking culture. With the variety of coffee types and brewing methods offered, consumers are now given the opportunity to explore a wider spectrum of flavours and aromas. Each coffee brand or product circulating in Jember Regency has different physical characteristics such as taste, packaging design, colour, aroma, viscosity, and coffee grounds. The purpose of this study was to determine consumer preferences in choosing three coffee products (ship fire coffee, fresco coffee, and kahyangan coffee). This study uses the Grid Analysis method to determine consumer preferences. This study used 75 samples from 5 sub-districts spread across Jember Regency (Sumbersari, Pakusari, Bangsalsari, Arjasa and Jenggawah). The results of the analysis show that Kapal Api coffee tends to be favoured by respondents compared to fresco and Kahyangan coffee. This is because Kapal Api Coffee has advantages in terms of taste, aroma, viscosity, colour and packaging design, while Kahyangan Coffee only excels in its fine coffee powder. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality and branding of fresco and Kahyangan coffee in Jember Regency

In the era of 21st century, agriculture is facing many challenges now-a-days to feed the world population. The population growth is increasing day by day and it expected to cross 10 billion by 2050. Agriculture farming plays significant role in growth of Indian economy. India stands second in farm production all over the world. After the green revolution, India face production loss with an estimate of US$ 36 billion. The agriculture production decreases mainly because of insect pests, diseases and weeds in important agricultural crops. Hence, there is a need of transition in farming system to adopt advanced and innovative technologies for more and sustainable production. In recent years Artificial intelligence gained popularity in agriculture and provides solutions in several areas like big data analysis, pest and disease forewarning models, mobile applications in IPM, Information and ICT based crop-advisory system, insect detection, pest and disease identification, etc. In the proposed paper, AI based applications discussed in detail to provide insights into innovative technologies and pave the way for knowledge dissemination and adoption of AI based technologies for more effective crop production and protection.
