İslâm Hukukunda Doğal Âfetlerin İcâre (Kira) Akdi Üzerindeki Etkisi
Authors: KIYLIK Mustafa Harun
Published: November 2023

Toplum içinde insanlar bazı eşyaların bizzat kendilerine (aynlarına) veya menfaatlerine ihtiyaç duyarlar. İslâm hukukuna göre insanlar ihtiyaç duydukları eşyaların aynlarını bey‘ (satım) akdi ile elde ederlerken söz konusu eşyaların menfaatlerine icâre (kira) veya âriyet (ödünç) gibi akitler ile sahip olurlar. Müslümanlar her türlü akdi, Kur’ân ve Sünnet çerçevesinde tayin edilen rükün ve şartlara uygun bir şekilde kurmak durumundadırlar. Aksi takdirde yapılacak sözleşmeler fâsid ya da batıl olacaktır. İslâm hukuku açısından satım akdinde akde konu olan mahallin mevcut, mütekavvim ve tesliminin mümkün olması şarttır. Mevcut bulunmayan bir şeyin satışı yasaklandığından, böyle bir satım akdi batıldır. Fakat aralarında icâre akdinin de bulunduğu bazı akit türleri özel bazı deliller sebebiyle bu kuraldan istisna edilmiştir. Zira teşri zamanından bu yana uygulana gelen icâre akdi, insan hayatında zorunlu ihtiyaç olmakla birlikte önemli bir yer de işgal etmektedir. Bu sebeple icâre akdi kimi fakihlere göre kıyasa yani genel kurala aykırı olarak istihsan yoluyla ma‘dûmun satımı kapsamında değerlendirilmemiş ve yine istihsan gerekçesiyle meşru kabul edilmiştir. İcare akdinin kıyasa aykırı bir şekilde sabit olması, başka akitleri bu akde kıyaslamaya mahal vermemektedir. İcâre akdi satım akdinden sonra en çok müracaat edilen akitlerden olması hasebiyle İslâm hukukçuları tarafından tüm yönleriyle ele alınmış ve müstakil başlıklar altında irdelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda doğal âfetlerin icâre akdi üzerindeki etkisi de ihmal edilmemiştir. İlke olarak satım akdi kadar usulüne uygun, rükün ve şartlarıyla birlikte kurulan bir icâre akdi her iki taraf için bağlayıcıdır. Ancak öngörülemez durumlarda, özellikle beklenmedik afetler esnasında icâre akdinin devamı, kiralananın menfaatinden yararlanma ve ödenen ücretin iadesi türünden hukuki problemler ortaya çıkmaktadır. Çalışmamızda öncelikle doğal âfetlerin İslâm hukuk literatüründe neyi ifade ettiği özetle sunulduktan sonra ana hatlarıyla icâre akdinin mahiyeti üzerinde durulacak, bilahare sadece doğal âfetlerin kira akdi üzerindeki sonuçları detaylandırılacaktır. Netice itibariyle meydana gelen âfetlerin kiralanan üzerinde kısmi veya külli telefler oluşturması halinde akdin devam etme imkânı ve tarafların bu tür durumlardaki sorumlulukları ortaya konulacaktır.

Investigating Student Teaching Directors’ Definitions of “Teacher” and Paradigms of Disability in Canadian Teacher Education Programs
Authors: Sokal Laura , Woloshyn Debra , Wilson Alina
Published: November 2023

Directors of Student Teaching from teacher preparation programs across Canada were surveyed and then interviewed in follow-up focus groups to determine the opportunities and barriers they perceived during processes of placing pre-service teachers with disabilities into practicum settings. These data are interrogated within three theoretical frameworks about disability—the medical model, the social model, and the critical disability theory—to determine whether decision-making by Directors of Student Teaching reflects a predominant paradigm of disability. Deconstructions of the current concept of “teacher” are presented with reference to these three paradigms of disability. Key words: Teacher identity, disability theory, equity. Les directeurs de stages des programmes de formation à l'enseignement de tout le Canada ont été interrogés, puis interviewés dans le cadre de groupes de discussion de suivi, afin de déterminer les possibilités et les obstacles qu'ils perçoivent au cours des processus de placement des enseignants ayant un handicap dans des milieux de stage. Ces données sont étudiées selon trois cadres théoriques sur le handicap - le modèle médical, le modèle social et la théorie critique du handicap - afin de déterminer si la prise de décision des directeurs de stages reflète un paradigme prédominant du handicap. Des déconstructions du concept actuel « d'enseignant » sont présentées en référence à ces trois paradigmes du handicap. Mots clés: identité de l'enseignant, théorie du handicap, équité
Teachers as Reflective Practitioners: From Individualism to Vygotskian Social Constructivism
Authors: Shah Muhammad Athar
Published: November 2023

The paper presents a critical review of major works on reflective practice in teaching that mainly define reflection as a technical and isolated process, taking place in an individual’s mind. Critiquing the cognitive nature of reflective practice promoted in mainstream research, the paper directs attention to the increasing recognition of sociocultural factors in teacher professional learning, and highlights the significance of reflection as a social practice. Starting with the ideas of John Dewey on reflective practice for teachers, the paper delineates Schön’s successive works on the subject, followed by a discussion of Wallace’s reflective model. The final part of the paper describes how Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory provides a theoretical framework for teachers to effectively engage in reflective practice by moving from individualism to social constructivism in their efforts to enhance their professional competence. Keywords: reflection; reflective practitioner; teacher professional learning; Vygotsky; social constructivism L'article présente un examen critique des principaux travaux sur la pratique réflexive dans l'enseignement qui définissent principalement la réflexion comme un processus technique et isolé, se déroulant dans l'esprit d'un individu. Critiquant la nature cognitive de la pratique réflexive promue par la recherche dominante, l'article attire l'attention sur la reconnaissance croissante des facteurs socioculturels dans l'apprentissage professionnel des enseignants et souligne l'importance de la réflexion en tant que pratique sociale. Partant des idées de John Dewey sur la pratique réflexive pour les enseignants, l'article décrit les travaux successifs de Schön sur le sujet, pour ensuite discuter du modèle réflexif de Wallace. La dernière partie de l'article décrit la mesure dans laquelle la théorie socioculturelle de Vygotsky fournit un cadre théorique permettant aux enseignants de s'engager efficacement dans une pratique réflexive en passant de l'individualisme au constructivisme social dans leurs efforts pour améliorer leur compétence professionnelle.

Authors: Al-husban Naima , Tawalbeh Mohammad
Published: November 2023

This study aimed to determine the Global Citizenship Education (GCED) awareness level of teachers of different subjects in Jordan and to investigate whether their global citizenship awareness levels varied in terms of different demographic variables. The sample comprised 4305 teachers. Data were gathered using an awareness scale and an interview. Findings revealed that teachers showed an unsatisfactory level of awareness of GCED; females were more aware of GCED. Based on the results, it is recommended that teachers’ knowledge should be fostered in teaching GCED concepts, skills, and values, and to transcend the teacher-centered approach as it doesn’t promote the outcomes of creating global citizens. Keywords: Teachers’ Awareness, Global Citizenship Education, Demographic Variables, Teacher Development. Cette étude avait pour but de déterminer le niveau de sensibilisation à l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale des enseignants de différentes matières en Jordanie et d'examiner si leur niveau de sensibilisation à la citoyenneté mondiale variait en fonction de différentes variables démographiques. L'échantillon comprenait 4 305 enseignants. Les données ont été recueillies à l'aide d'une échelle de sensibilisation et d'un entretien. Les résultats ont révélé que les enseignants ont montré un niveau insatisfaisant de sensibilisation à la citoyenneté mondiale ; les femmes étaient plus sensibilisées à la citoyenneté mondiale. Sur la base des résultats, il est recommandé de renforcer les connaissances des enseignants dans l'enseignement des concepts, des compétences et des valeurs de la citoyenneté mondiale, et de transcender l'approche centrée sur l'enseignant car elle ne favorise pas la création de citoyens du monde.

A fegyveresen elkövetett rablás a 19. század második felében
Authors: Minkó-Miskovics Mariann
Published: November 2023

Avagyon elleni erőszakos bűncselekmények között a rablás mindig is kiemelt jelentőséggel rendelkezett, és már az első modern magyar büntető törvénykönyvben, az 1878. évi Csemegi-kódexben is megjelent a zsarolással együtt, egy külön fejezetben  szabályozva. A Csemegi-kódex emellett már több olyan bűncselekményt is tartalmazott, amelyek esetében a fegyveres elkövetés minősítő körülményként jelent meg. A jelenleg leggyakrabban elkövetett vagyon elleni bűncselekmény, amely a „fegyveresen” minősítéssel is rendelkezik, a fegyveresen elkövetett rablás ugyanakkor a Csemegi-kódexben még nem szerepelt: a jogalkotó nem szólt a kapcsolódó tényállásról vagy minősített esetről, azonban a korabeli bírósági gyakorlatban már előfordult, és a jogi szakirodalom is részletesen foglalkozott a fegyveresen elkövetett rablás kérdéskörével. Ennek alapján felmerülhet viszont a kérdés, hogy a jogalkotó mégis milyen indokok alapján nem szabályozta a Csemegi-kódexben a fegyveresen elkövetett rablás bűncselekményét, és hogyan munkálta ki és értelmezte azt a joggyakorlat és a jogirodalom.
A magyar közigazgatási (hatósági) eljárás mérföldkövei
Authors: Balogh Györgyi
Published: November 2023

Magyarországon a polgári közigazgatás kialakulásáig, a 19. század második feléig önálló közigazgatási jogról – sem önálló anyagi jogi, sem pedig eljárásjogi tekintetben – nem beszélhetünk. Nyugat-Európa államaiban korábban megtörtént az önálló  közigazgatási jog alapelveinek kimunkálása, hazánkban azonban – éppen az anyagi és az alaki jog összefonódása, valamint a sajátos történelmi helyzet, az osztrák–magyar államalakulat sajátosságai miatt – erre ekkor még nem kerülhetett sor. Az 1791. évi francia alkotmány által világosan kimondott hatalmi ágak elválasztásának elve Magyarországra viszonylag későn jutott el. Az igazságszolgáltatás és a közigazgatás elválasztásra csak az 1869. évi IV. tc. megalkotásával került sor.

Published: November 2023

Law No. 20 of 2003 on the national education system emphasizes the purpose of national education to form individuals of faith, piety, noble character, and knowledge. Pesantren also has a dual role as a translator of Islamic teachings and as a traditional educational institution that maintains moral values in the times. This study aims to determine the origin of pesantren and institutional growth. The method used is the literature study method with a qualitative approach. The results of this study show that the origin of pesantren and the institutional growth of pesantren in Indonesia originated from a simple practice where individuals who mastered Islamic religious knowledge began to teach their knowledge to the surrounding community. Over time, pesantren became an important Islamic educational institution in the history and development of Indonesia. Pesantren have a variety of types, from very traditional to very modern, reflecting the diversity in Islamic education systems and approaches in Indonesia.

Published: November 2023

In 2019, more than 90% of the world’s population was living in places where pollutantconcentrations exceeded the air-quality guidelines. Anthropogenic activity has been the main cause of climate change in the last 20 years, especially in urban centres where industrial activities and motorized traffic mainly occur. This article presents a study of air pollutant dispersion by computational fluid dynamics modelling using OpenFOAM for urban street canyon simulations. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of vegetation on natural ventilation, dispersion and CO2 mitigation. The behavior of pollutants was modeled by the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (RANS) and the k−ε fluid turbulence model. The results indicate that aerodynamic effects are more important at lower pollutant wind velocities, as they reduce turbulent dispersion and allow a higher reduction in the concentration of air pollutants. In addition, the direction of the wind, relative to the main axis of the street, had a significant impact on the results found. In general, in the presence of trees, perpendicular winds can lead to higher concentration of pollutants, while parallel winds allow improve air quality, considerably reducing those pollutant concentrations.
Some Special Integer Partitions Generated by a Family of Functions
Authors: Matte M. L.
Published: November 2023

In this work, inspired by Ramanujan’s fifth order Mock Theta function f1(q), we define acollection of functions and look at them as generating functions for partitions of some integer n containing at least m parts equal to each one of the numbers from 1 to its greatest part s, with no gaps.We set a two-line matrix representation for these partitions for any m ≥ 2 and collect the values of the sum of the entries in the second line of those matrices. These sums contain information about some parts of the partitions, which lead us to closed formulas for the number of partitions generated by our functions, and partition identities involving other simpler and well known partition functions.

Efficiency of European Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.) over Bee Attractants in Pollination and Seed Yield of Coriander, Coriandrum sativum L.
Authors: M R Ranjitha , S R Koteswara Rao , A Rajesh , M Reddi Shekhar
Published: November 2023

The efficiency of different pollination treatments was tested for yield parameters in coriander. Results revealed that, A. mellifera pollinated crop recorded highest number of seeds per umbel (23.31), seed size (58.15 mm3 ), filled seeds (93.66%), 1000 seed weight (15.33 g), seed yield (634.47 g/ 20 m2 ), seed germination (79.33%) and seedling vigour (1014.07) which was followed by Citral-E treated plots. The plots where 5% solutions of jaggery, sugar, sugarcane juice sprayed separately, and open pollination are not differ from each other for yield parameters but significantly differed from A. mellifera pollinated and Citral-E treated plots. Whereas minimum was found in treatments without pollinators (16.39, 43.39 mm3 , 74.08%, 9.53 g, 201.30 g/ 20 m2, 59.33% and 485.69, respectively). The study found out that A. mellifera pollinated plots resulted in better yield parameters than others. This emphasizes more to conserve and utilize European bees which apart from being efficient pollinators act as productive insects and most importantly they maintain ecological balance in the agro-ecosystems.

Published: November 2023

Explorative surveys were conducted to detect the natural occurrence of Kerria lacca in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir on its natural hosts Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana), Palas (Butea monosperma), Kikar (Acacia nilotica) Khair (Acacia catechu) and Pipal (Ficus religosia). The natural occurrence of the insect was found to be highly threatened due to summer mortality, parasitism by natural enemies and human interventions. Over the period of survey, a total of 9 strains were recovered and conserved ex-situ in the gene bank. On the basis of productivity linked parameters the ‘Gol Market’ strain was found to be the most promising in terms of higher initial settlement (172.8 crawlers/ cm2 ), lower mortality (43%), greater fecundity (225 larvae per cell) and dense female cells (11.32/ cm2 ). Further, this strain was inoculated on three different hosts viz., Flemingia semialata, Ziziphus mauritiana and Butea monosperma to study the productivity linked parameters. The productivity linked parameters like cell and resin weight (19.83 and 8.15 mg) were also found to be highest in this strain. The data recorded on mean initial and final density of settlement, density at crop maturity, weight of female cell, resin output and fecundity were significantly higher on F. semialata followed by Z. mauritiana and B. monosperma, respectively. Initial mortality (%) showed significant difference among different hosts with minimum mortality of 24.79% on F. semialata followed by 46.80% and 71.94% mean mortality on Z. mauritiana and B. monosperma, respectively.

Published: November 2023

Shoot fly is a major pest in sorghum that causes significant annual yield loss. Use of pesticide to control this pest is an expensive and environmentally unsafe approach. Present study investigated the host plant resistance mechanism to develop shoot fly resistance (SFR) lines through transfer of shoot fly resistance QTLs (glossiness, trichome density, ovipositional non-preference) using SSR marker assisted backcrossing. Genomic regions for SFR showed four QTLs on SBI 01, SBI 07, SBI 05 and SBI 10 contributing up to 11.5%, 18.3%, 14% and 14.7% phenotypic variation. But QTLs on SBI 05 and SBI 10 for glossiness and trichome density are the major QTLs for which 10 SNPs have been designed. In earlier studies, three QTL regions associated with shoot fly resistance were successfully introgressed into elite cultivar SPV 1411 (Parbhani Moti) and a B line ICSB29004 using donors viz. J2658 (SBI01), J2614 (SBI10), and J2714 (SBI07) (which are derivatives of BTx 623). Phenotyping of introgression lines (ILs) led to the identification of resistant lines for each QTL region present on chromosome SBI-01, SBI-07 and SBI-10. Hence, in this study we have analysed the above developed ILs using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers tightly linked to shoot fly resistant QTLs. The results showed that introgression lines with QTL present on chromosome SBI-10 were segregating for favorable alleles for leaf glossiness and for trichome density in homozygous condition. Other introgression lines with QTLs on chromosome SBI-01 and SBI-07 for component traits - oviposition non-preference, seedling vigor are segregated for glossiness trait also thus showing the transfer of non-targeted region, which in this case proved beneficial for SFR. This study showed that these SNPs can be used to analyze introgression lines and can be used as genomic markers for early generation selection of shoot fly resistance lines.

Correlative Effect of Temperature and Photoperiod on the Oviposition and Adult Longevity of Chrysoperla carnea Stephens (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)
Authors: Gowthish K , Ashokumar M , Dinesh Kumar C
Published: November 2023

Among the natural enemies, the larval stage of green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea Stephens (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) is the most commercialized and prominent predator on many soft-bodied insects like juveniles of aphids, whiteflies, thrips, mealybugs and eggs of lepidopterans, where adults feed only nectar, pollen, and honeydew. Despite, many factors influencing insect endurance, abiotic factors such as temperature and photoperiod are the main components when insects grew under a controlled atmosphere. The observation taken on oviposition revealed that rearing adult insects at temperature 24 °C with a photoperiod of 18:6 hours (Dark: Light) conditions produced the highest quantity at an average of 620.9 ± 0.85 eggs/day/100 insects respectively. Data on adult longevity showed that adult life extended up to 43.4 ± 0.22 days when reared at temperature 22 °C with a photoperiod of 18:6 hours (Dark: Light).

Published: November 2023

One of the key steps to facilitate year-round rearing of bumblebees is to break diapause period. In the present investigations, different stimulation methods were evaluated viz., cold temperature and CO2 narcosis, and their effects on colony parameters were studied. The daughter queens collected during winters were exposed to low temperatures i.e. 4±0.5 ° C for two months. But this did not show any results as all the queens died after two months. Another method used was exposing the queens with single and double CO2 narcosis. The present study concluded that bumblebee workers kept along with double narcotized queens was one of the best stimulation methods followed by single narcotized queens kept along with bumblebee workers.

Authors: A V Moorthy , M Shanthi , S Selva Rani
Published: November 2023

Colloidal chitin is a natural compound shown to have antifeedant activity against insects. In this study, the antifeedant activity of colloidal chitin was investigated against the first instar larva of Spodoptera frugiperda (J E Smith). The results showed that colloidal chitin had antifeedant activity, with the highest activity observed at 7% concentration. The antifeedant effect was enhanced with increase in concentration and also with increase in time after treatment. Specifically, colloidal chitin 7% showed 90.43% antifeedant effect after 72 hr of treatment, followed by 87.43 and 81.76% after 48 hr and 24 hr of treatment, respectively. The results suggest that colloidal chitin could be a potential candidate for use as an insect repellent or pesticide.
Sublethal Exposure Enhances Suspectibility to Phoshine and Effects Certain Fitness Traits in Red Flour Beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst)

Published: November 2023

The insecticidal gaseous phosphine would fail to meet the required concentration owing to improper sealing in a majority of bulk storage units. The resulting sublethal concentration has toxicological and biological implications for the target pests. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum has developed considerable resistance to phosphine. In this study, the effect of sublethal phosphine (LC25 and LC40) dose exposure is seen in the first filial generation of T. castaneum, where it was found to increase the susceptibility of the F1 generation. The lethal concentration (LC50) of parent stock (0.076 mg/ l) was reduced to 0.059 mg/ l and 0.052 mg/ l in the F1 generation, respectively in the sample prior exposed to sublethal doses of LC25 and LC40. Surviving females of sublethal exposures (LC40 and LC25) produced fewer offspring with a cumulative fecundity reduction of 21 and 84% respectively, compared to parent stock. The variables tested in PCA highlight the negative effect of sublethal dose on the fecundity and fitness of female adults.

A study on the screening of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin native isolates for abiotic stress tolerance was carried out at the Department of Agricultural Entomology, College of Agriculture, Vellanikkara, Thrissur, Kerala during 2019-2023. The growth and biochemical parameters of the three native isolates of B. bassiana (BTL1: OP271760, BTL2: OP290199 and PKDE: OP292066) were studied under different abiotic stress conditions viz., temperature, water stress, acidity and salinity. The results revealed that the highest temperature tolerance (40° C) was displayed by the B. bassiana isolate PKDE. It also survived at high water stress (45% polyethylene glycol), acidic (pH2) and saline (1.5 M) conditions. The analysis of biochemical parameters in stress tolerant isolate revealed that the greatest levels of trehalose (2.033± 0.025, 2.043± 0.006 mg/ min/ g of mycelia), catalase (0.0072± 0.007, 0.0032± 0.003 EU/ min/ mg protein) and peroxidase (0.0602± 0.005, 0.0175± 0.017 EU/ min/ mg tissue weight) were observed after exposure to high temperature and water stress, respectively. This shows that exposure to abioticstress and biochemical parameters are closely related and can be used as determinants for evaluating the potential of biocontrol agents.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the insect growth inhibitory effect of seed extract of the medicinal plant, Annona squamosa L. against Spodoptera litura F., under laboratory conditions. The four solvent seed extracts of A. squamosa namely, methanol, ethyl acetate, hexane and chloroform at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5% concentrations were tested against third instar larvae of S. litura. The results showed that, among the four solvent extracts, methanol solvent extracts of A. squamosa at 2% and 2.5% concentration was found to be effective. It has been observed that methanol extract at 2.5% resulted in 97.5% mortality with no malformations in the developmental stages. The result indicated that the response of larval mortality and deformities in the developmental stages was dose dependent.

The present work centers on the predatory performance of Microvelia douglasi adults with reference to diel periodicity. This experiment attempts to determine on whether the foraging efficiency was more at diurnal or nocturnal period, and was there an endogenous rhythm available within them to activate foraging response. The study was conducted in the laboratory for 24 hr with an interval of every three hr. The experiment was divided into Phase I (LD 12:12) and Phase II (DL 12:12). The predatory efficiency of M. douglasi adults was investigated on the first and second instars of Anopheles stephensi at prey densities of 25 and 50, and the experiment was conducted separately for male, female, and for both male and female, in 500 mℓ and 1000 mℓ containers. The bugs showed predatory activity both in diurnal and nocturnal periods. In LD cycle, maximum predatory activity was at 15:00 hr by the female bugs, and a total of 350.0 An. stephensi larvae were predated with 144.6 and 205.4 prey predated at 25 and 50 prey density, respectively. The male bugs predated 110.4 prey, and their response was less than that of females, which showed the highest rate of predation as they predated 129.4 prey. The prey predated when both male and female were put together was 110.2. In DL cycle, maximum predatory activity occurred at 24:00 hr again by the female bugs, and a maximum of 327.8 larval instars were predated with 153.4 and 174.4 prey predated at 25 and 50 prey density, respectively. Female bugs predated (121.2) more prey than male (99.4). However, the prey predated when both male and female were put together was 107.2, which was higher than prey predated by male. In LD cycle, the bugs predated more first instar (186.0) than the second instar (164.0), and in DL cycle, there was not much difference as 163.2 and 164.6 first and second instar, respectively were predated. Overall, the bugs showed more predatory activity during light than in dark, though natural light was changed to dark and dark to light. Predator’s sex, prey size, and different photoperiods testified the predatory performance of M. douglasi, and it was noted that the cumulative interactions of these three parameters were significant. The photoperiods were highly significant. Relatively high statistical significance was also derived in the interaction between the prey size and photoperiod. There was no statistical significance between predator’s sex and prey size and predators’ sex and photoperiod, and when all three parameters interacted, very less significance occurred.

Published: November 2023

Physicochemical factors like pH, temperature, conductivity, total dissolved solids, salinity, and dissolved oxygen, are important water quality parameters of freshwater ecosystems. The present study is focused on the diversity of aquatic beetles and assessing physicochemical parameters. Water samples for physio-chemical analysis and aquatic beetles were collected from the Khadakwasla dam monthly throughout 2022. Results showed that pH (7.6-8.1), temperature (30.5° C to 32.5° C), conductivity (210 to 232 µs), total dissolved solids (175 to 192ppm), salinity (130-146ppm) and dissolved oxygen (5.8 -6.8 mg/L) were good for the aquatic fauna according to WHO and Indian standard values. The findings revealed a total of 15 species belonging to 9 genera and 4 families. The family Dytiscidae is the most abundant followed by Hydrophilidae, Noteridae, and Gyrinidae. The high diversity of aquatic beetles indicates the availability of good physicochemical variables, food, and vegetation that serve as breeding sites.

The cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), has become a widespread serious pest and causing economic losses. In an attempt to control this different organic amendments, seed treatment practices, plant products and insecticides were evaluated. The highest kapas yield of 7.8 q/ ha was recorded in flonicamid treated plots followed by 7.7 q/ ha in thiodicarb treated plots as against 2.8 q/ ha in control. Cost-benefit ratio was also higher in these treatments recording 1.83 and 1.81 CBR, respectively. Though the insecticides were found effective, organic amendments + foliar spraying of plant products treatments was safer to coccinellids recording 13.5 and 14.2/ 10 plants. The same trend was also observed with regard to Chrysoperla zastrowi sillemi and spiders coccinellids varied from 2.3 to 5.3, C. zastrowi sillemi from 2.1 to 3.2 no’s/ 10 plants in various insecticides sprayed fields as against 8.35 in control. Similarly, the population of spiders varied from 0.3 to 0.5 no’s/ 10 plants as against 2.47 in control.
