Genetic divergence analysis of elite germplasm provides a correct picture of the extent of variation which is a prerequisite for choosing promising and genetically diverse lines for desirable traits. Multivariate analysis following Mahalanobis D2 statistics revealed considerable genetic diversity among 30 genotypes of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) for quantitative characters pertaining to growth, earliness, yield and ToLCV. Diversity within and between clusters were observed. Fruit weight, number of fruit per plant and plant height differentiated the germplasm. Six clusters were developed from the D2 analysis using Tocher’s method. Cluster II was the largest cluster contained 13 accessions accounting 43.33% of total genotype followed by cluster III and IV both having 5 accessions, and cluster I with 3 genotypes which were accounting 16.66, 16.66 and 10.00%, respectively. Beside these four clusters, remainingtwo clusters V & VI have two genotypes each. The selected lines exhibited diversity despite common parentage. The maximum inter-cluster distance was between cluster VI and I (15078.88) followed by cluster VI and V (13901.29). ToLCV incidence recorded minimum in the genotype H-24 (13.72%) followed by H-88-78-1 (15.12%); however, the severity percentage was observed minimum in genotype H-88-78-1 (7.50%) followed by VRT-3-2-1 (8.17%), Cheku Grand (9.17%), H-24 (13.33%) and Inden 2013-4 (13.53%). Pusa Sadabahar showed the maximum incidence and severity percentage of 52.58 and 38.67%, respectively.

Published: July 2024

Root-knot nematodes are one of the major plant parasitic nematodes in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Considering its damage potential, a field experiment was piloted for the management of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita in tomato. For this study, Bacillus subtilis (1% A.S) and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (1% A.S) liquid bioformulations were evaluated. The liquid bioformulations were evaluated in two delivery mechanisms such as nursery drench (5 ml/litre of water) and soil application of bioformulations (5 l ha-1) enriched with FYM (20 t ha-1) individually and in combination and their nematicidal efficacy compared with carbofuran 3G (1 kg a.i.ha-1) and combined application of carbofuran 3G (1 kg a.i.ha- 1) with FYM (20 t ha-1). Among the bioformulations, integrated application of B. amyloliquefaciens (1% A.S) (nursery drench and soil application of enriched FYM) consistently exhibited greater nematicidal activity by resulting maximum percent reduction of nematode population in soil 77.1, 61.5 and 74.6 during 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively. Therefore, we able to harvest marketable yield of 24.0, 22.5 and 31.1 t ha-1 during 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively which was next to combined application of carbofuran 3G (1 kg a.i.ha-1) with FYM (20 t ha-1). Subsequently, it was followed by B. subtilis 1% A.S (nursery drench and soil application of enriched FYM) found promising and recorded percent reduction of nematode population in soil 52.5, 55.8 and 70.4 with marketable yield of 20.0, 22.0 and 30.4 t ha-1 during 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively. The present findings indicate that, liquid bioformulations of B. amyloliquefaciens (1% A.S) and B. subtilis (1% A.S) with its delivery mechanisms can be considered as a component underintegrated nematode management of M. incognita   tomato under field condition.
Tinjauan Euthanasia dalam Perspektif Hukum Islam dan Hak Asasi Manusia
Authors: Darnia Darnia , Farawansyah Fuad , Darmajid Dirgi Septian , Kurniati Kurniati
Published: July 2024

Euthanasia is an attempt to end a person's life when they experience incurable pain, in order to end their suffering. In Indonesia, euthanasia cannot be carried out and is an illegal act. Both positive law and the medical code of ethics stipulate that euthanasia is not permitted. When studied from the perspective of Islamic law, it is regulated that active euthanasia is an act that is forbidden and is threatened by Allah SWT with the punishment of hell for those who do it. The author is of the opinion that Euthanasia is considered a criminal offense in Indonesia because it is a form of crime against life which is regulated in Article 344 of the Criminal Code (Criminal Code/KUHP: "Whoever takes the life of another person which is clearly done intentionally, is threatened with imprisonment for a maximum of twelve years" The Declaration of Human Rights has established the "right to life" which is fundamental and inherent in human nature. It is universally recognized and an eternal gift from God. However, there is no provision regarding the right to die and therefore Euthanasia is a violation of human rights and contrary to divine principles. However, the right to die is regulated in the laws of several developed countries, such as several countries in Europe.
AbstrakEuthanasia merupakan upaya untuk mengakhiri hidup seseorang ketika mengalami sakit yang tidak dapat disembuhkan, guna mengakhiri penderitaannya. Di Indonesia, euthanasia tidak dapat dilakukan dan merupakan perbuatan yang ilegal. Baik dalam hukum positif maupun dalam kode etik kedokteran diatur bahwa melakukan euthanasia tidaklah diperbolehkan. Bila dikaji dalam perspektif Hukum Islam, diatur bahwa euthanasia aktif adalah perbuatan yang diharamkan dan diancam oleh Allah SWT dengan hukuman neraka bagi yang melakukannya. Penulis berpendapat bahwa Eutanasia dianggap sebagai tindak pidana di Indonesia karena merupakan salah satu bentuk kejahatan terhadap nyawa yang diatur dalam Pasal 344 KUHP (Kitab Undang-Undang -Undang Hukum Pidana/KUHP: “Barangsiapa mencabut nyawa orang lain yang jelas dilakukan dengan kesengajaan, diancam dengan pidana penjara paling lama dua belas tahun” Deklarasi Hak Asasi Manusia telah menetapkan “hak untuk hidup” yang bersifat fundamental dan melekat pada kodrat manusia. secara universal mengakui dan anugerah abadi dari Tuhan. Namun, tidak ada ketentuan tentang hak untuk mati dan oleh karena itu euthanasia merupakan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia dan bertentangan dengan prinsip ketuhanan. Tapi, hak untuk mati sudah diatur dalam beberapa undang-undang negara maju, seperti beberapa negara di Eropa.

Published: July 2024

Generative AI technology for human-assisted tools has made great strides in recent years, and studying the impact of this technology on students' compositional abilities plays an important role in promoting changes in music education. Previous studies have focused on the performance of music composition software itself in terms of composition, with less consideration given to the impact of creators' compositional ability after using assistive composition tools. Thus, this paper designs a controlled experiment to investigate the changes in students' compositional ability before and after using AI composition tools. This paper finds that students' compositional abilities in all areas of composition improved to varying degrees after using AI composition tools. This paper compares the differences in compositional abilities of students with and without the education of AI composition tools, which has practical implications for vigorously promoting the adoption of AI composition tools in university music education teaching.

Authors: Julian
Published: July 2024

The aim of APEC cooperation is to promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth, as well as enhance cooperation and economic integration among its members. This study aims to analyze the influence of economic freedom, foreign direct investment, international trade, labor force, inflation, and the Covid-19 pandemic on economic growth in the 19 APEC member countries using multiple linear regression method. This research examines the impact of economic freedom, foreign direct investment, international trade, labor force, inflation, and the Covid-19 pandemic on economic growth. The analysis results indicate that economic freedom, although important, may have limited impact in weak institutional settings. Conversely, foreign direct investment and international trade have proven to have significant positive effects by bringing capital, technology, and innovation as well as enhancing economic efficiency. Moreover, skilled labor force and controlled inflation also support economic growth. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused serious disruptions by disrupting supply chains, decreasing demand, and creating economic uncertainty, highlighting the importance of economic resilience and public health. These findings emphasize the importance of policies supporting these factors to drive sustainable economic growth.

A descriptive research method with a qualitative approach is used to collect data through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research results indicate that employee awareness and discipline, collaboration between evaluators and employees, as well as technical and managerial support are the main supporting factors. However, subjectivity in evaluations, lack of employee involvement, and resistance to change are inhibiting factors that need to be addressed to achieve the success of the competency-based performance management system.

Effects of EGFR Inhibitors on Proton Pump Function in Gastric Mucosa and Its Mechanism
Authors: Wu Rongxiang
Published: July 2024

This research was carried out to detect the influence of the proton pump mechanism function on the EGFR inhibitor. Human gastric cancer cell line MKN-45 cells were divided into different concentrations of EGFR inhibitors and treated with either AG1478 or PD153035. Western Blot and immunofluorescence describe the expression of proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase). Next, the phosphorylated levels of ERK and AKT were analyzed. The overall disruption and strong results in the effects of EGFR inhibition, proton-pump transcription, and phosphorylation of ERK and AKT indicated the vital importance of this pathway. Moreover, this study also indicated that EGFR inhibitors were inhibitors of the EGFR signaling pathways themselves due to a decrease in the expression and activity of the proton pump; moreover, this inhibitory effect was closely related to drug concentration. Such findings open up new treatment opportunities for various gastric diseases and underline the possibly critical role of EGFR in gastric acid regulation.
System and Policy of Land Administration in Our Country
Authors: Gao Jiawei
Published: July 2024

Through the study of land management in this semester, I have a relatively systematic understanding of China's land management policies, a series of land use systems and some programs implemented by the country for land. China's land area of 9.6 million square meters, is a vast country, so the implementation of some land management rules are extremely necessary. Reasonable control of land is an effective way to prevent land from being destroyed or the utilization rate is very low.  Rational use of land resources is the full embodiment of this idea. Next, I will discuss from three aspects to conclude the final paper of the course of land management in this semester.

¿Qué libertad y qué religión?
Authors: Duque João
Published: July 2024

Partiendo de una breve comparación entre la declaración Dignitatis Humanae y el documento de la Comisión Teológica Internacional sobre la Libertad Religiosa (2019), el artículo se propone discutir el significado actual de la libertad religiosa, en un ambiente de fuerte transformación de las experiencias religiosas. En ese entorno, la discusión de la noción de libertad sirve de inspiración para un criterio de distinción entre las diversas experiencias religiosas más o menos sacralizadoras. De una posible relación entre libertad y religión se llega a la noción de “religión de libertad”, la cual condicionará no solo la experiencia religiosa, sino también un significado profundo de libertad religiosa.

The application of NLP Based on Moral Education aims to address the psychological burden on Penesak Tribe children after agrarian social conflicts, which harbor potential emotional outbursts. The Participatory Action Research (PAR) method is used to provide significant benefits to the community and accelerate positive social transformation. This intervention strategy involves motivational training in NLP Based on Moral Education, targeting children as subjects for mental and spiritual recovery. As a result, children affected by social conflicts can practice contemplation techniques, transform themselves, and become important parts of the change process without being trapped in prolonged spiritual mental weakness. They strive to rebuild their region with the moral values embraced by the Ogan Ilir community. The Penesak Tribe children are now able to understand themselves and apply self-control techniques independently, in line with the teachings of NLP Based on Moral Education, which are highly beneficial for their mental and spiritual recovery.
"They come home again and again". Estetiche e politiche della riscrittura nel cinema slasher
Authors: Previtali Giuseppe ,   Università degli studi di Bergamo
Published: July 2024

Lo slasher è stato uno dei generi più longevi e fortunati dell’horror americano, capace di favorire un importante rinnovamento del genere in direzione del cosiddetto realist horror. Estremamente formulaico nella sua struttura e forse proprio per questo continuamente ripensato, lo slasher è stato al centro di una vasta attenzione critica, sia per lo statuto di cult raggiunto da molti dei suoi titoli più celebri, che per le politiche della rappresentazione che ha saputo veicolare. Un aspetto ancora poco analizzato di questo filone ha a che vedere con i processi di serializzazione e rigenerazione che lo hanno interessato. Se fino agli anni Novanta si è assistito alla fioritura di una vasta serie di sequel che ha cercato di capitalizzare al massimo la presenza di personaggi iconici come Freddy Krueger o Michael Myers, a partire dal nuovo millennio le più celebri saghe slasher sono state al centro di interessanti operazioni di riscrittura che, oltre a promuoverne un aggiornamento estetico, hanno favorito l’emergere di nuove narrazioni e implicazioni politiche. Muovendo da queste premesse, il contributo intende analizzare nel dettaglio le procedure di rigenerazione delle principali serie slasher (Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, Nightmare), focalizzandosi in particolare sulle diverse modalità con cui queste narrazioni sono state proseguite, riavviate, riappropriate e ripensate nel corso varie “ondate”, avendo cura di illustrare come si siano innescati rilevanti fenomeni di arricchimento del materiale narrativo. Lavorare in senso diacronico su questi processi permetterà inoltre di illustrare come, a partire dal medesimo materiale di partenza, sia stato possibile per questi film conservare, aggiornandola, la capacità di riflettere sottotraccia su rilevanti questioni politiche del presente.
