Reasons for the Success Story of Amul: An Empirical Study of Customers' Opinions
Authors: Pallathadka Harikumar , Pallathadka Laxmi Kirana , Devi Shoraisam Kiranbala , Singh Shoraisam Kiran
Published: December 2022

Amul is derived from the Sanskrit word "Amulya," which means valuable or priceless. This paper examines how the dairy product company has reached the level of excellence as one of the leading corporate players. It all began 75 years ago when impoverished farmers with little cattle banded together to establish a rural dairy organization. The fundamental purpose has been emphasized with a quick summary of the practices responsible for the brand's extraordinary development and success (Carroll & Shabana, 2010). Implementation of solid marketing and ethical tactics will be the focus of this study about the management of this enormous endeavor to become Asia's biggest dairy products producer. The progressive work of Amul inspired India's "White Revolution" by improving the lives of rural people in order to increase output and meet the rising demand for healthy, nutritious food in society. This also focuses on the company's innovative advertising and the brief description of the high-quality standards mantras responsible for the company's phenomenal growth and success. The company was concerned with dairy farmers and product consumers as the nation battled to contain the covid virus-19 pandemic (Uddin et al., 2020). During the lockdown, most dairy product companies decided to reduce media spending, but Amul continued to promote its brand by educating the public about the importance of covid-19 guidelines. Amul chose to alter its marketing techniques by forming its cooperative organization, which became a turning point in the dairy growth program for the nation. Amul's establishment of eco-friendly operations to meet growing demand and achieve more success is contingent on the company's motivated and devoted employees in producing safe foods and goods. The dairy company's growth concerning other dairy products occurred despite its exposure to several difficulties and formidable market competition. The tenacity and labor of poor farmers and livestock owners enabled them to become entrepreneurs and sustain their way of life (Ferroni & Zhou, 2012). The endeavor demonstrated that Amul is invaluable in every way, and we must protect it. Therefore, it is not self-serving since it always assures that the profits gained are dispersed equitably for the benefit of farmers and socioeconomic advancement. A standard questionnaire with a five-point interval scale was used to gather data from 119 respondents.

Remediation: A Novel Approach for Reducing Environmental Pollution
Authors: Singh Veena Krishan
Published: December 2022

Hazardous contaminants persist more and more now, which negatively impacts the world in various ways. Nearly every second species on earth is experiencing the worst problem with their existence as a result of high environmental contamination. While more recent remediation methods have made improvements, conventional methods have not successfully removed dangerous substances from the environment. Hazardous contaminants elimination using the remediation technique (HCER) is a process that uses remineralization to eliminate hazardous contaminants from contaminated soils and groundwater. The process involves removing hazardous constituents from contaminated soil or groundwater through either mechanical or biological means; then replacing these constituents with beneficial elements to restore environmental quality. Remediation technologies are used for both on-site and off-site applications, including landfills, industrial sites, municipal solid waste landfills, construction sites (e.g., roads), mine tailing piles and other areas where contamination exists due to anthropogenic activities such as mining operations, oil spills and landfill leachate seepage. The present study aims to examine and analyze the literature in the area of remediation strategies used to get rid of toxins, mainly from soil and water.
The Science of Virtual Culture Wars
Authors: Bainbridge William Sims
Published: December 2022

Much of today’s geopolitical conflict is taking place online, carried out in significant measure by volunteers, even as governments seek to emphasize information technology cooperation. Computational social scientists have discovered multiple online environments in which to collect relevant statistical data, including Wikipedia pageviews, archives of government research grant abstracts, and behavior in massively multiplayer online war games. Three very different examples of the dynamics of collaboration and conflict provide alternative perspectives: (1) the Pirate Parties that seem to have been an overly ambitious attempt to transform democracy in the Information Age, (2) citizen science that had some success attracting volunteers to donate labor to academic research projects, but generally avoided controversial research projects in areas such as human conflict, and (3) a genre of online role-playing games that emphasized spontaneous organization of volunteer armies to develop skills and resources for victory.  Without claiming to offer strict rules for success, this article considers the organizational structures and practical methodologies that might be adapted for achievement of goals by ethical social movements.

Numerical Simulation of Influence of Prestress on Rock Crack Propagation
Authors: Zhang Guang , He Xiang
Published: December 2022

Based on the damage evolution law of energy, through the three-point bending test of granite, the calculation formula of three-point bending fracture energy of rock dominated by type I fracture failure is calculated, and the influence of dimensionless prefabricated crack length and prestress on rock fracture failure caused by crack propagation is studied. The results show that with the increase of dimensionless prefabricated crack length, the peak load of granite increases, but its fracture toughness increases first and then decreases. The size and application of prestress have different effects on crack propagation in rock samples. It is proposed that the influence factor of prestress is used to characterize the strength of crack propagation inhibition. In engineering construction, high strength prestressed anchor bolts and expanded support area can be adopted to prevent collapse accidents caused by excessive deformation of surrounding rock.

Authors: Tang Hua , Liang Dongcai , Wu Zhenjun , Cheng Xu
Published: December 2022

The phenomenon of core discing has always been considered as a unique sign of high geostress area. With the in-depth study of the discing mechanism, there are various indications that the high geostress is not the main controlling factor of the core discing. Based on the geostress classification standard and engineering cases data, the stress level of complete granite prone to discing is determined in this paper. On this basis, laboratory drilling tests with different drilling speeds under high and low stress conditions are designed. The results show that high stress is not the key factor for core discing. When the drilling speed is fast, even if the confining stress is 0, core discing will occur. When the drilling speed is slow, the core can be taken completely even at high stress levels. Drilling parameters fluctuate with discing, and its peaks correspond to the core fracture location.

DETERMINANTS OF THE LEVEL AND VOLATILITY OF BLACKCURRANT PURCHASE PRICES IN POLAND
Authors: Kierczyńska Sylwia
Published: December 2022

The aim of the study was to identify the factors which significantly influence the purchase prices of blackcurrants in Poland. The average annual purchase prices of blackcurrants between 2004 and 2021 were the research material. The study was based on the data published by the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics – National Research Institute in the semi-annual journal “Fruit and Vegetable Market”. The relationship between the fruit purchase prices and the selected explanatory variables was analysed with the multiple regression method. Single-equation econometric models were designated as multi-factor functions. The reference publications were used as the basis for the selection of the following set of potential variables explaining the purchase prices of blackcurrants: the area of blackcurrant plantations in Poland, the yields of blackcurrants in Poland, the yields of blackcurrants in Ukraine, the yields of blackcurrants in Germany (the main importer of frozen products and a producer of currants), the volume of frozen blackcurrant exports and the export price of frozen blackcurrants. Apart from that, the qualitative variable COVID-19 was created, which allowed for the greater demand for blackcurrant preserves during the pandemic. In order to determine the factors which significantly influenced the purchase prices of blackcurrants during the period under analysis, the all possible regression method, also known as the best subsets regression, available in the Statistica PL package, was applied. This was a model with two explanatory variables: the export price of frozen blackcurrants and COVID-19. The linear determination coefficient of the estimated econometric model indicated that 90% of the variance of blackcurrant purchase prices was explained by the model.

Authors: Siedlecka Agnieszka , Zielnik Karolina
Published: December 2022

The aim of the article is to define the factors that influence the choice of agritourism as a form of recreation. One of these factors may be the natural environment and its surroundings, which constitute an important element in the development of individual territorial areas. They also create opportunities for the development of individual forms of agricultural and non-agricultural activity in individual regions. The Lubelskie Voivodeship is a particularly interesting area for research related to the development of agritourism and analyzes related to this issue, both due to its territorial location and values ​​related to its individual areas, resulting from much less industrialization, as well as significant agricultural areas. In order to achieve the set goal, a questionnaire study was used with the use of the proprietary questionnaire. The research sample consisted of the inhabitants of the Lubelskie Voivodeship, who used agritourism services in the voivodeship in the last five years. The research was carried out in the period from March to May 2022 using the CAWI method. The obtained empirical material was developed using statistical methods with the use of the STATISTICA package for this purpose. The obtained research results indicated that one of the factors influencing decisions related to the form of activity are environmental values. A number of other important conditions include sanitary conditions and leisure infrastructure (e.g. access to a barbecue, sports equipment). The analysis of the results shows that agritourism farms do not fully use the opportunities created by their environmental surroundings and their resources.

Authors: Gołębiewska Barbara , Voronko Oksana , Gębska Monika
Published: December 2022

The study aimed to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of enterprises processing and trading dairy products in Poland and Ukraine. Milk processing is an important sector of food production. Milk and milk products account for about 14% of world trade in agricultural products. The five largest companies from Poland and Ukraine were selected for the study. Evaluation of the effectiveness of dairy enterprises required the adoption of appropriate indices. Therefore, the research considered, above all, the indices characterizing the profitability of the surveyed companies as the basic ones in the evaluation of the financial condition of enterprises. In addition, the evaluation included the surveyed enterprises’ return on sales, assets, and equity. The analyses were performed based on data available in the EMIS database for 2016-2020. In Poland, the milk processing sector was in a relatively good financial condition, although the profitability ratios were not too high. Profitability ratios have long been lower than the food industry average and have fallen even further in recent years. The data show that the return on equity slightly exceeded the interest rate on bank deposits and treasury bonds. In Ukrainian enterprises, the return on equity, assets, and sales was much higher, but it was also characterized by high volatility.

CHANGES OF EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES POSITIONS IN THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE OF RAW MATERIALS IN 2016, 2019 AND 2021. IMPORTANCE FOR AGRICULTURE
Authors: Staszczak Dariusz Eligiusz
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this paper is an explanation of a strategic independency or dependency of particular countries of the European Union on raw materials imports. A strategic importance of raw materials for the EU and world economy is connected with the necessity of these materials for the production, including agricultural production and industrial production for agriculture. The design is finding the threats for the further development of most EU economies which results from their dependency on raw materials imports. There were fifteen net importers of raw materials in 2016. Most important of them were: Germany, Italy, Belgium and Spain. These first four countries did not change their positions in 2019 and 2021. The quantity of EU net importers decreased to fourteen member-states in 2019 and to thirteen countries in 2021. However, many EU net importers deepened their trade deficits of raw materials in 2021. The Dutch paradox explains the Netherlands position of the first EU net exporter in spite of this country dependency on imports of raw materials. Practical implications of the results can be considered to elaborate the short-term and long-term EU economic and trade policy.
CONDICIONAMENTO OPERANTE E RESPONDENTE NO TREINAMENTO POLICIAL PARA O USO DA FORÇA
Authors: Eleutério da Rocha Neto José
Published: December 2022

Com o grande debate, de alcance mundial, sobre o uso da força por parte de agentes policiais, faz-se necessário o estudo do treinamento policial. Diante de evidências da ineficácia da metodologia de treinamento usualmente aplicada, foi apresentada outra perspectiva sobre o treinamento policial, baseada em princípios da Análise do Comportamento e em evidências publicadas na literatura. Para tanto, adotou-se uma revisão narrativa da literatura. A partir dela, foi proposto um método baseado na modelagem dos comportamentos do policial, devido à necessidade do emprego de força e ao uso de estímulos estressores durante o treinamento. Ainda, expuseram-se evidências experimentais que respaldam o método para treinamento apresentado. O método guarda semelhanças com algumas práticas tradicionais do treinamento militar e policial, que também foram brevemente exploradas, traçando uma linha divisória entre práticas eficientes e abusivas. Concluiu-se que a perspectiva do treinamento apresentada pode auxiliar a capacitação de profissionais de segurança pública para o emprego de força. O retorno a algumas tradições do treinamento, com algumas ressalvas, pode ser salutar ao processo de capacitação do policial. Novas pesquisas que explorem o tema são necessárias.

Authors: PRAJAPATI SAPNA , GURURAJ K , ANDANI DIMPLE , PACHORI ANJALI , KUMAR ASHOK , PAWAIYA R V S
Published: December 2022

Rotavirus gastroenteritis is a worldwide disease affecting primarily infants, young children and young ones of wide variety of mammalian and avian species. Diarrhoea in goat kids is most frequently found associated with Group A rotavirus (GARV) and another enteric pathogen bovine coronavirus (BCoV), a major viral pathogen associated with neonatal diarrhoea. Enteric BCoV replicates in epithelial cells of gut, destroying villi, resulting in severe, often bloody diarrhoea in calves. It requires highly sensitive and specific assays to diagnose the disease at field level. In the present study, a real-time reverse-transcriptase (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were developed and validated for specific detection and quantification of GARV and BCoV with high sensitivity and specificity. For real-time RT-PCR, primers were designed to target nucleocapsid gene for BCoV; NSP4 gene and VP6 gene were designed for GARV using discontiguous conserved sequences. Real-time RT-PCR assay was standardized by serial dilution of positive GARV and BCoV RNA. The rotavirus real-time RT-PCR assay was found to be specific to rotavirus, but broadly reactive to GARV. The sensitivity of the assay for detecting rotavirus and BCoV in faecal samples and tissue sample was found to be high in such reactions. The real-time RT-PCR assay was effective in detecting GARV and BCoV in all positive samples obtained from sheds, farms and outbreaks. The results of this study demonstrate that the real-time RT-PCR assay for viral enteritis is broadly reactive, specific, and sensitive for detection of GARV and BCoV in faecal sample and tissue samples.

Authors: KUMAR HARISH , TYAGI S P , KUMAR AMIT , KUMAR ADARSH , SINGH SUKHPREET
Published: December 2022

The study included 14 cases of femur fracture in which two different techniques namely intramedullary interlocking nailing (IILN) (group-I; 9 cases) and end threaded pinning (ETP) (group-II; 5 cases) were used for fixation of the fracture. The mean duration of surgical procedure was higher in group I as compared to group II. The extent of manipulation/soft tissue damage was slightly more in group I than in group II. The technique of IILN was relatively more difficult than ETP. The extent of fracture reduction and fixation was relatively better in group I than in group II. The weight-bearing improved gradually in both the groups but found to be better in group I than group II. The functional outcome of the fractured limb was superior in fracture fixed by IILN as compared to other group.

Published: December 2022

The expression profiling of the miRNAs, ssc-miR-146a- 3p and ssc-miR-1343 in the PBMCs of classical swine fever (CSF) vaccinated crossbred pigs were investigated on 7 days post vaccination (7 dpv) as compared to unvaccinated pigs. It was observed that ssc-miR-146a-3p was up-regulated (1.243 Log2 FC) and ssc-miR-1343 was down-regulated (-1.63 Log2 FC) on 7 dpv compared to unvaccinated crossbred pigs which were in concordance with earlier report of miRNA Seq expression profiling. Two target genes, (CD86 for ssc-miR-146a-3p and IFIT1 for ssc-miR-1343) were validated by qRT-PCR and were also found to be in concordance with miRNA expression profile. The CD86 was downregulated with log2 fold changes -5.99, whereas the IFIT1 was upregulated with log2 fold changes 3.19 at 7 dpv. Both of these miRNA was actively involved in cell mediated immune response at 7dpv after CSF vaccination. The CSF vaccine virus triggered the expression of host miRNAs and its target mRNA and enriched immune system processes/pathways.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of organic selenium (Se) supplementation on laying performance, immune response, serum biochemical parameters and egg quality traits of female turkeys. Female turkeys (96; 16 wks old) were randomly distributed into 4 treatment groups with 4 replicates and 6 birds each (4 × 4 × 6) for a period of 24 weeks. The basal diet (T1) contained 0 mg Se/kg diet and the three experimental diets were supplemented with 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 mg Se/kg diet (T2, T3 and T4 respectively). Age at sexual maturity, egg number and egg weight differed significantly in 0.4 mg Se/kg treated group (T3) than the other dietary treatment groups (T2 or T4). Humoral (29th weeks) and in vivo cell mediated immune response (30th weeks) were significantly improved in 0.4 or 0.6 mg Se treated group. Se supplemented groups, i.e. T3 and T4 decreased significantly in serum cholesterol and uric acid concentration whereas significant increase were recorded in total protein, albumin and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). No significant differences were observed in serum aspartate amino transferase (AST) and alanine amino transferase (ALT) concentration among the experimental groups. Egg quality traits, viz. shape, albumin and yolk index, shell thickness did not differ significantly among Se supplemented groups, whereas albumin and yolk weight and Haugh unit score were significantly higher in 0.4 mg Se/kg treated (T3) group. Thus, this study demonstrates that that dietary supplementation of 0.4 mg/Se kg diet has a beneficial effect on laying performance, immune responses, serum biochemical and egg quality traits in laying turkeys.

Data pertaining to 6,300 birth records spread over 21 years of Kashmir Merino sheep maintained at Government Sheep Breeding Farm Kralapathri and Government Sheep Breeding Farm Goabal Kashmir and Fleece Testing Laboratory were used to estimate the genetic parameters. The genetic parameters for birth weight (BWT), 6 months body weight (6-MWT), yearling body weight (12 MWT), greasy fleece yield of first clip (GFY-1), greasy fleece yield of second clip (GFY-2), fiber diameter (FD), staple length (SL), age at first lambing (AFL) and inter-lambing period (ILP) were estimated by paternal half-sib correlation method using sire components of variance and covariance. The heritability estimates for BWT, 6-MWT, 12-MWT, SL, GFY-1, GFY-2 were moderately high whereas the estimates of heritability for FD, SL, AFL and ILP were low respectively. The genetic correlation between different traits ranged from - 0.73±0.10 to 0.87±0.04 while as phenotypic correlation different traits ranged from - 0.66±0.07 to 0.54±0.01. Keeping in view its high heritability of SMW and favorable correlations with birth weight, yearling body weight, wool traits and age at first lambing, it is concluded that selection on basis of 6-MWT would be effective to improve growth, quality wool production and age at first lambing in Kashmir Merino sheep.

The study was undertaken to assess yield and herbage quality of two mixed short-term pastures of grass, oat, and vetch during the winter dry season for grazing low yielding dairy cows. The mixed pastures were termed as conventional (CON) and experimental (EXP) mixtures. CON was annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum cv. Westerwolds), common oat (Avena sativa cv. Chihuahua) and common vetch (Vicia sativa), and EXP was festulolium (Lolium multiflorum × Festuca pratensis cv. Spring Green), black oat (Avena strigosa cv. Saia), and winter vetch (Vicia villosa cv. Naomi). Eight low yielding Holstein cows with 462.4±43.16 kg live weight, 3.4±0.1 body condition score, milk yield of 5.1±1.7 kg/cow/day, and 135.2±88.4 days in milk were continuously grazed 4 cows/ha. A double cross-over design with 4 experimental periods was followed for animal variables. There was a significant change in net herbage accumulation on pastures between experimental periods; and no differences in animal variables. There were no significant effects in animal variables, but milk yields increased two-fold from pre-experimental yields indicating the potential of quality pastures to improve productivity in small-scale dairy systems.

The present investigation was carried out to study the floral morphology and biology of 5 genotypes during 2016-17. Many flowered cymes both terminal and axillary were observed in J. auriculatum and J. grandiflorum; whereas, cluster bearing flowers in terminal position were observed in J. multiflorum (IIHR JMâ€“1 and IIHR JMâ€“2), J. calophyllum, J. flexile and J. malabaricum. Flower bud was pointed and long in all genotypes; its colour was either green white (157 B) or white (155 C) or white (155 D).Tinge on flower bud was observed in J. grandiflorum (CO.1 Pitchi and Arka Surabhi), J. rigidum, J. nitidum and J. malabaricum. Flower petal tip was either sharp or blunt and flower colour on opening was either white (155 C) or white (155 D) or white with pinkish underneath (155 D) in all the genotypes. Among the 15 genotypes, J. grandiflorum var. CO.1 Pitchi recorded longest flower bud length (4.81 cm) and corolla tube length (2.92 cm); however, maximum corolla length was recorded in J. nitidum (2.15 cm). Maximum number of forks per cymes was recorded in J. auriculatum var. CO.1 Mullai (40.13). Maximum number (6.51) and length of calyx lobe (1.28 cm) was recorded in J. multiflorum â€“IIHRJM-2 and J. nitidum, respectively. Flower diameter ranged from 1.74 (J. auriculatum-IIHRJA-2) to 4.93 cm (J. nitidum), whereas number of petals varied from 4.97 (J. grandiflorum var. CO.1 Pitchi) to 10.67 (J. nitidum). All genotypes recorded one style per pistil and its length varied from 0.42 cm (J. auriculatum var. CO.2 Mullai) to 2.32 cm (J. grandiflorum var. CO.1 Pitchi). Anthesis and anther dehiscence was recorded earlier in summer months, while, it was delayed during cooler months. However, the peak anthesis was observed from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. and anther dehiscence from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. The earliest anthesis was observed in J. auriculatum genotypes and anther dehiscence was observed in J. auriculatum and J. multiflorum genotypes. The stigma was receptive 12 h before an thesis and up to 24 h of anthesis. The maximum receptivity was observed from the time of anthesis to 12 h after anthesis.

The main objective of this study was to measure the properties of the carrot to design carrot (Daucus carota L.) harvesting mechanism. Physical properties were beneficial to fix the relative position of carrot harvesting mechanism and mechanical properties were helping in functionality of the carrot combine harvester mechanism. Three carrot cultivars namely Pusa Keshar, Pusa Rudhira and Nantes cultivar were taken for the study. Length of carrot, effective foliage length (stem node), carrot head (crown) above soil surface; weight and upper root diameter were included in physical properties measurement. Pulling and tensile force were included in mechanical properties measurement. The foliage length was found in the range from 46 to 90cm, however, the crown height was observed at 1.5 cm above the soil surface. Carrot root length of Pusa Keshar, Pusa Rudhira and Nantes were 23.10 Â± 3.71, 21.68 Â± 4.14 and 18.64 Â± 3.49 cm, respectively. Average pulling force in undisturbed (unloosen) raised bed highest was observed with Pusa Rudhira (148.93 Â± 73.46 N) followed by Pusa Keshar (133.10 Â± 62.15) and Nantes (118.18 Â± 41.72). While, the pulling force for loosen raised bed were observed in following order Pusa Rudhira (22.41 Â± 7.64 N) >Pusa Keshar (21.35 Â± 5.84 N) >Nantes (20.21 Â± 5.52 N). The loosen soil imposed 5 to 6 time lesser resistance on pulling carrot than unloosen raised bed. Average foliage detachment force (tensile force) from carrot crown was 236.13 Â± 20.66, 211.95 Â± 16.81 and 243.35 Â± 47.73 N for Pusa Keshar, Nantes and Pusa Rudhira, respectively. It was observed that pulling force in loose raised bed was around 10 times lesser than the foliage detachment force.

Karnal bunt of wheat is an internationally quarantined disease. One of the major constraints in exporting wheat is prevalence of Karnal bunt (KB). It is caused by Tilletia indica which is a heterothallic fungus and requires fusion of different mating types for causing infection. The growth efficiency and aggressiveness of plant pathogens are often associated with their carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes). The present study was undertaken to identify the CAZymes in whole genome sequence of Tilletia indica, and conduct sporulation analysis. Total 315 predicted secretory proteins were annotated with the CAZyme database (dbCAN). The secreted carbohydrates active enzymes were identified as 105 glycosylhydrolases (GH), 85 glycosyltransferases (GT), 83 carbohydrate esterases (CE), 8 carbohydrate binding modules (CBM), 30 auxiliary activities (AA) and 4 polysaccharide lyases (PL). Based on sporulation analysis of T. indica isolates, KB1 and KB2 isolates were most sporulative among all the isolates of T. indica. These carbohydrate active enzymes can help to understand the pathogenesis mechanism(s) of Karnal bunt using functional genomics approach.
