Influences of Varying Seed and Intra-Row Spacings on Yield and Certain Yield Attributes of Kufri Chandramukhi Potato
Authors:   Division of Horticultural University of Agricultural Science Bangalore, K.S KRISHNAPPA
Published: October 2023

Studies were carried out to assess the influence of three seed sizes with five intra- Tow spacings on the growth and yield of potato during rabi of 1977-78 and 1978-79 as well as kharif of 1978 in red sandy loam soil of Bangalore. Higher yields were recorded. from kharif crop. The maximum yield (335.2 q/ha) was obtained with large sized seed tubers spaced at 25 cm between tubers, while the lowest yield (241.7 e/ha) was recorded with small sized seed tubers spaced at 25 cm between tubers. The large and medium sized soed tubers produced higher yields of large and medium sized tubers as well as higher number of tubers and shoots per hill as compared to small sized seed tubers. The results indicated that when the inter-row spacing was 60 cm. the intra-row spacing could be quite narrow (15-20 cm) for small sized seed tubers and slightly wider spacing (20-25 cm) for large and medium sized seed tubers to obtain higher yields under Bangalor conditions.

All the taxa investigored possessed 2n=24 chromosomes. The karyotypes were symmetrical possessing median and sub-median constrictions. They are characterised by gross homogeneity in the chromosoma morphology, yet each and every one of the species had a distinct karyotype of its own. Even the two varieties of Solenum melongena differed from one another in certain details of their karyotypes suggesting that karyotype analysis would not offer any scope for evaluation of phylogenetic relationships among the species studied. Morphological divergence of the species hed no relation to the karyotypic differences. It was concluded that the study of chromosome morphology in Solanum, at best can have only a phyletic significance as a commentary upon the validity of conclusions based on evidence from external morphology and other cytogenetic data. It appeared that specialisation in this genus had been principally effected by structural alteration of chromosomes.

Authors:   Paddy Processing Research Centre, TNAU Tiruvarur 610 001, P PILLAIYAR
Published: October 2023

The demand for domestic oil always outstrips the supply and consequently the problem remains to be tackled from different engles. At no time the Pian targets for oilseeds had been achieved; this is mainly because of growing of oll seeds at low levels of manage- ments and primarily in unirrigated areas. The present situation in domestic oil front, the requirements by 1983-84 and the ways and means of finding alternate sources of edible oll without much pressure on cultivated land for Tamil Nadu have been indicated. Of the non- traditional domestic oil resources, the oil present in rice bran can to a large extent be utilised for edible purposes. A potential of 6.4 lakh tonnes of rice bran and 1.1 lakh tonnes of rice bran all in Tamil Nadu by 1983-84 has been identified. The strategy for producing more rice bran oll in Tamil Nadu has also been indicated.

Published: October 2023

Five seed size classes of sorghum CSH 5 hybrid and its parents, CS 3541, ms 2077 A and 2077 8 were studied for the relative differences in seed quality. The 1000-seed weight, seed volume and specific gravity of seeds showed distinct and significant differences among seed sizes. The germination and field emergence potential of 10, 9 and 8 retained seeds were significantly higher than those from 7 and 5 retained seeds. The seedling vigour ass- essed by seedling growth measurements and dry matter estimation in plant parts and the vigour index values amply showed the superiority of the large and medium size seeds over the smaller ones. The study had revealed that the optimum sieve size is 8/64" round per- forated metal sieve for processing the seed lots of sorghum CSH 5 hybrid and its parental lines.

Published: October 2023

Estrutura fundiária é a forma como as propriedades rurais estão distribuídas e organizadas em uma determinada região. No Brasil é marcada por um processo histórico desde a colonização que culminou numa má distribuição de terra, sendo a concentração de terras e de capital um problema que data da origem da colonização das terras brasileiras e que persistem até os dias atuais em vários Estados, sendo o Maranhão um deles. O objetivo do projeto foi analisar a dinâmica da estrutura fundiária e verificar o efeito dela no setor rural (agropecuário) e urbano dos municípios maranhenses. A pesquisa é do tipo explicativa, onde realizou-se a coleta de dados secundários a partir de pesquisas bibliográficas (livros e artigos científicos) e de pesquisas documentais em arquivos públicos e fontes estatísticas. O período da análise foi de 1980 a 2017, através dos Censos Agropecuários. Se fez uso das dimensões: estrutura fundiária e produtiva; social, saúde e infraestrutura e; demográfica. Se fez uso da taxa de crescimento anual (%) e análise fatorial e do Programa SPSS. Os resultados mostraram que no Maranhão houve a redução em mais de 70% no número de estabelecimentos agropecuários de menos de 10 hectares, afetando consideravelmente a agricultura familiar do Estado, mas, por outro lado, aumentou o número de estabelecimentos de tamanho de 10.000 a mais hectares. Como resposta a essa realidade temos os conflitos agrários, os inchaços nas periferias das cidades e as péssimas condições de vida nas cidades dos trabalhadores rurais que migram do campo para a zona urbana.

Dentre as ações de intervenção do Estado relacionadas à política agrária a reforma fundiária é a que gera maior impacto na estrutura produtiva de um país. Nesse contexto, a materialização da reforma agrária está consubstanciada em um dispositivo jurídico-administrativo que é regularização fundiária. Tendo como objetivo investigar a situação socioeconomia de assentamentos da reforma agrária no estado do Maranhão, o que podemos verificar foi que para além do debate sobre titulação de terras devemos avanças para “que tipo” de titulação queremos, já que o que identificamos foram assentamentos sem qualquer estrutura econômica de produção adequada para a comercialização ou mesmo infraestrutura básica que possa dar sustentação a uma dinâmica interna de produção de longo prazo e com isso emancipação social e econômica.

Authors: Almeida Eduardo Cardoso de
Published: October 2023

Imagine uma pessoa que possui uma caminhonete S10 e consome, em média, 480 litros de diesel por mês. Considerando o preço médio do combustível no Brasil em 2023, que é de aproximadamente R$ 6,22 por litro, isso representa um gasto mensal de cerca de R$ 2.985,60. Agora, suponha que essa pessoa possa economizar 10% de combustível sem alterar a quantidade de quilômetros percorridos. Isso se traduz em uma economia anual de mais de R$ 3.500. Agora, pense em uma empresa que mantém uma frota de veículos que percorrem milhares de quilômetros. Economizar apenas 10% de combustível por veículo pode resultar em uma economia significativa. Por exemplo, em uma frota de 300 caminhões, isso se traduz em quase R$ 4 milhões de reais economizados anualmente. Este artigo apresenta uma análise abrangente dos principais fatores que contribuem para o consumo inadequado de diesel e oferece estratégias eficazes tanto para o cidadão comum quanto para a indústria economizarem combustível. Utilizando uma metodologia bibliográfica, esta pesquisa reuniu as melhores práticas para uma gestão de excelência na economia de combustível em motores a diesel. Esperamos que este estudo contribua para conscientizar sobre a importância da eficiência energética e inspire a adoção de práticas mais sustentáveis e econômicas no uso de diesel em diversos setores.

Authors: Olaide Ayodeji Agbolade
Published: October 2023

The study presents a comprehensive performance evaluation of the SX1276 radio module within LoRaWAN technology under Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) conditions. LoRaWAN's proliferation in IoT applications demands a thorough understanding of its performance in challenging environments. This study investigates NLOS scenarios, identifying factors influencing signal strength, packet loss, and latency. Finally, the performance of the network under LOS condition was compared to NLOS to shed light on NLOS challenges. Results showed that spreading factor and transmission power are the most critical parameters that influences the performance of the network. Results from the study also shows that in LOS condition the spreading factor 7 has the highest data rate but also the least range. Furthermore, the study revealed that using high spreading factor is more beneficial than high transmission power in non-line of sight conditions. Finally, by comparing both conditions, LoRaWAN nodes under LOS condition was found to have a range of up to 5 km as against 1 km at NLOS which further highlight the importance of LOS in LoRa transmissions.

E. Coli is one of the major gram-negative pathogens well known causative agent for almost all kind of UTIs, however Enterobacteriaceae such as Enterobacter aerogenes and Enterococci fecalis are responsible for UT infections. The present study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of ethanol and aqueous extract of pomegranate and lemon peels against (23 isolated stains) E. Coli, (16 isolated strains) Enterococcus faecalis and (9 isolated strain) of Enterobactor aerogenes recovered from the urine sample of patientsin Swat KPK-Pakistan. The Agar dilution and well method was applied for the antibacterial activity of pomegranate and lemon peelextracts. All of the three subject isolates were exposed to different concentrations of pomegranate and lemon peel. MIC of aqua extract of pomegranateagainst the subject isolates of E. Coli was 200 µl/mLand ethanol extract was 50 µl/mL. So the ethanol extract of pomegranate was found to be more effective as compared to the aqueous extract. On the other hand MIC of aqua extract lemon peel against the subject isolates of E. coli was100 µl/mL and ethanol extract was 25 µl/mL. So the ethanol extract of pomegranate was found to be more effective as compared to the aqueous extract. MIC of ethanol extract of pomegranate against the isolates of Enterococcus fecalis was found smaller (50 µl/mL) than that of water extract (100 µl/mL). So the ethanol extract of pomegranate was found to be more effective as compared to the aqueous extract. On the other hand. MIC of aqua lemon extract against the subject isolates of Enterococcus fecalis was 100 µl/mL and ethanol extract was 25 µl/mL. Mainly the ethanolic extract of lemon peel was more effective than the ethanolic extract of pomegranate against Enterococcus fecalis isolates. The MIC of the water and ethanolic extract of pomegranate against Enterobacter aerogenes was found 500 µl/mL and 200 µl/mL respectively. So the ethanol extract of pomegranate was found to be more effective as compared to the aqueous extract. On the other hand MIC of the ethanolic extract of lemon peel was 100 µl/mL, while the water extracts showed inhibition against the Enterobacter aerogenes isolates at the concentration of 250 µl/mL. So the ethanol extract of lemon was found to be more effective as compared to the aqueous extract.For the determination of antibacterial activity of both pomegranate and lemon extracts (in ethanol and water) method as described in Clinical and Laboratory Standard Guidelines (CLSI) was adopted. The subject isolate of E. Coli, Enterococcus fecali, and Enterobacter aerogenes were shown different sensitivities (sensitive >10mm zone inhibition or resistant <10mm zone inhibition t) for ciprofloxacin with a variable zone of inhibition.

Published: October 2023

Kebar grass is a plant that contains phytoestrogens which have the same effect as endogenous estrogens which are thought to be able to increase endogenous estrogen levels in the blood due to the adverse effects of free radicals in the form of cigarette smoke. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the ethanol extract of kebar grass (Biophytum petersianum Klotzsch) on the length of the estrous cycle of Rattus norvegicus rats exposed to cigarette smoke. The research used an experimental method, namely a completely randomized design with four treatment groups and three replications. Rats the negative group was fed normally, the positive control group was exposed to cigarette smoke for 28 days, while the rats in the Kebar grass ethanol extract dosed group were given cigarette smoke exposure for 28 days, and were gived Kebar grass ethanol extract for 28 days. Vaginal smears were taken in the morning with a span of 24 hours for 28 days. Changes in the vaginal epithelium are examined to determine the phase of the estrous cycle using a microscope. The data obtained were analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)-SPSS version 16.0 followed by Duncan test with a 95% confidence interval (α=0.05). The results showed that administration of Kebar grass ethanol extract was able to extend the estrous cycle time at a dose of 0.135 mg/head/day due to prolongation of the proestrus and estrus phases.
Sabat dan Sikap Eskapis: Analisis Struktur Ibrani 4:1-16
Authors: Liling Ekawaty Rante , Siah Lidya
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The Sabbath is a topic that continues to receive attention in Christianity. However, it also becomes a continuing source of debate its practical application. The Sabbath often turns to mere escapism, which is, having time for oneself. Therefore, through an exegetical-expositional method—a thorough analysis of the structure of the Epistle to Hebrews 4—this research presents the biblical basis for entering the Sabbath. The structural analysis in this study showed that the entire letter to Hebrews 4 is an inseparable series. Hebrews 4:1-11 shows that the Sabbath is God's promise that is still progressively valid. Verse 12-13 emphasizes the role of God's word as the basis for entering the resting place, and verse 14-16 suggests the significance of the High Priest, Jesus Christ, who is the intermediary for entering the resting place. With these three biblical foundations, the Sabbath is no longer an escapism but a momentum to entering God’s own rest.Abstrak. Sabat merupakan topik yang terus mendapat perhatian di dalam Kekristenan. Namun, Sabat juga terus menjadi sumber perdebatan pada penerapan praktisnya. Seringkali Sabat  juga hanya menjadi sekadar eskapisme, yakni waktu bagi diri sendiri. Karena itu, melalui metode eksegetikal-eksposisional – analisis menyeluruh pada struktur Surat Ibrani 4 – penelitian ini hendak menyajikan landasan biblis untuk memasuki Sabat. Analisis struktur dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa keseluruhan surat Ibrani 4 merupakan rangkaian yang tak terpisahkan. Ibrani 4:1-11 menunjukkan bahwa Sabat sebagai hari perhentian merupakan janji Allah yang masih berlaku secara progresif. Sementara Ibrani 4:12-13 menekankan peran firman Allah sebagai landasan untuk memasuki tempat perhentian, dan Ibrani 4:14-16 mengemukakan mengenai peran Imam Besar yaitu Yesus Kristus yang menjadi pengantara untuk memasuki tempat perhentian. Dengan ketiga landasan biblis ini, maka Sabat tidak lagi sekadar menjadi eskapisme, tetapi menjadi momentum untuk memasuki perhentian Allah sendiri.

Vor fünf Jahren hat der deutsche «Wissenschaftliche Beirat Psychotherapie» (WBP) in einem Gutachten nicht nur die Humanistische Psychotherapie als «wissenschaftlich anerkanntes Verfahren» abgelehnt, sondern sogar der 2002 vom WBP bereits anerkannten Gesprächspsychotherapie die «Empfehlung zur vertieften Ausbildung» entzogen. Nach anfänglichen Protesten vieler Wissenschaftler:innen und Institutionen gegen diese Bewertung ist ein Stillstand zu verzeichnen, zumal sich der WBP Diskursen über diese Kritik und die beanstandeten Bewertungen entzieht. Dieser Beitrag nimmt das 5-Jahres-Datum zum Anlass, einen Report der Kontexte und Umstände dieser Blockierung der Humanistischen Psychotherapie in Deutschland zu erstellen. Denn dieses deutsche administrative Regelwerk ist vielen nicht vertraut. Der Report fokussiert dabei auf Veröffentlichungen nach 2018. Zunehmend wird deutlich, dass die deutsche Ideologie von gegeneinander abgeschotteten Psychotherapieverfahren, deren «Wissenschaftlichkeit» ausschliesslich durch experimentelle RCT-Studien in Bezug auf spezifische Wirkfaktoren nachgewiesen werden muss, Befunden der internationalen Psychotherapieforschung nicht standhält. Immer mehr spricht für die vor allem von Wampold seit 2001 vorgetragene Sicht, dass kontextuelle Faktoren wesentlich zum Therapieerfolgt beitragen – also Aspekte, die in der Humanistischen Psychotherapie eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Der Beitrag schliesst mit der Hoffnung, dass der WBP den Diskurs aufnimmt und zu einer veränderten Bewertung der Humanistischen Psychotherapie kommt.

One of them is by providing health information to children through interesting media so that children can absorb information and apply it easily. The purpose of this community service is to increase children's knowledge about sexual violence prevention using comic media. This method of community service is with a classical and individual approach, where the individual approach measures the level of knowledge using pre-post. The partner in this activity is Puskesmas Marawola, Sigi Central Sulawesi. This activity was attended by 25 vulnerable children between the ages of 10 – 19 years and their parents. The results obtained in this activity were before the education of respondents who had a good level of knowledge of 14 (56%) while after education there were 23 (92%) respondents with good knowledge.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common disorders in women. This disease can affect the cells in the cervix which can be dangerous if not treated immediately. Even so, symptoms can appear after the cancer cells have spread, so early treatment is difficult. The incidence of cervical cancer which is still quite high is influenced by early detection behavior which is still low. Several puskesmas in the city of Kediri already have IVA test examination programs, but the achievement is still low because the motivation of mothers to do early detection is still lacking. Therefore, it is recommended that every woman have a routine examination of the uterus every year. One of the tests that can be done to detect cervical cancer is the IVA test. The purpose of community service is to improve the knowledge of women of childbearing age in the examination of the IVA Test, and early detection of cervical cancer in women of childbearing age. The method used to achieve these goals is participatory action research among others through Forum Group Discussion (FGD), questions and answers, and conducting IVA examination, Outcomes of these activities are in the form of goods and services. In the form of goods in the form of scientific publications through journals. The outcomes in the form of services are our health education on the IVA Test and examination of IVA. There is an increase in the knowledge and attitudes of mothers in conducting early detection of cervical cancer. Some mothers willing to do IVA tests show that there is an increase in motivation after the implementation of counseling activities. After the implementation of this community service, it is hoped that mothers will continue to routinely carry out early detection with the support of the active role of cadres and health workers.
