L’Eixample de Barcelona: un pla, dues realitats. Estudi comparat del desenvolupament dels teixits urbans de l’eixample central i l’eixample del Poblenou
Authors: Corominas Ayala Miquel , Moreno Sanz Joan , Corominas Castiñeira Júlia
Published: September 2023

El projecte d’eixample d’Ildefons Cerdà per al pla de Barcelona proposava un traçat il·limitat basat en una retícula moderna de carrers amplis i grans illes edificades. Una característica del traçat era l’homogeneïtat de la forma urbana. Factors com l’activitat agrícola prèvia, però, van condicionar el creixement de l’Eixample en dos teixits urbans diferenciats. D’una banda, es fa referència a l’eixample central, sobre un sòl agrícola de secà de baixa qualitat, que va formalitzar una illa amb edificació residencial perimetral i usos productius a la planta baixa i el pati interior. De l’altra, hi ha el Poblenou, més resistent al canvi d’ús pel valor del sòl agrícola de regadiu i per l’aïllament que implicava el sistema ferroviari, que va formalitzar un model amb edificació de poca alçada i una ocupació total del sòl. L’objectiu d’aquest article és fer un estudi comparatiu dels dos models de desenvolupament d’eixample a partir de la revisió històrica de la seva evolució, però també de l’anàlisi d’indicadors sobre la seva morfologia urbana actual.

O controle de convencionalidade da Lei N° 13.123/2015 à luz da convenção Nº 169 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho
Authors: Da Silveira Clóvis Eduardo Malinverni , Magni Marciana , Kaiser Mateus Vinicius
Published: September 2023

A Lei nº 13.125, de 2015, promulgada na vigência da Constituição Federal de 1988 e da Convenção nº 169 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho, é objeto de discussões desde a sua entrada em vigor. Questiona-se, particularmente, se a norma estaria em desacordo com o disposto naquele Tratado Internacional. Sob o aspecto formal, as críticas postulam que os povos indígenas, comunidades e agricultores tradicionais, teriam sido excluídos do processo legislativo. Com relação ao conteúdo, há controvérsias em pontos específicos. Por exemplo, haveria inconvencionalidade quando a lei diferencia os conhecimentos tradicionais de origem identificável daqueles de origem não identificável, exigindo o consentimento prévio apenas com relação aos primeiros. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo apurar em que medida a Lei nº 13.123, de 2015, atende, com relação aos direitos de consulta e de consentimento prévio livre e informado, ao disposto na Convenção nº 169 da OIT, bem como avaliar as consequências e possibilidades em termos de controle jurisdicional de convencionalidade. A pesquisa foi elaborada utilizando-se o método de abordagem hipotético-dedutivo e o método de procedimento monográfico. A técnica de pesquisa foi a bibliográfica e a legislativa. Concluiu-se que a criação da lei sem observância ao disposto no Tratado Internacional, excluindo-se os interessados do seu processo de formação, possibilita que a norma seja questionada tanto perante o Direito Internacional, mediante denúncia do Estado Brasileiro à OIT, quanto no âmbito doméstico, pela via do controle difuso de convencionalidade.
HOW TO COMBAT POVERTY AND ENSURE SUSTAINABLE GROWTH OF THE MIDDLE CLASS: CRITERIA OF DISTRIBUTIONAND POLICY MEASURES (PART 2)
Authors: KLEPACH A.N. , NIKOLAENKO S.A. , LUKYANENKO R.F.
Published: September 2023

The traditionally applied approach to determine the boundaries of poverty and the middle class based predominantly on the criteria of income level overlooks a wide group of citizens related to low-income category. The paper examines multicriteria approaches in determining the boundaries of poverty and the middle class which cover social, economic and behavioral factors. As an essential criterion to classify population as a poor class the authors chose behavioral characteristics related to the possibility and propensity for long-term planning. Applied regression analysis confirms the significance of some households’ social and economic characteristics that increase the likelihood of their belonging to a certain population group, such as household size, age of the head of household, education level, professional activity, etc. Based on various methodological approaches, the analysis of the Russian society structure reveals its high polarization where the share of the poor fluctuates from 10% to a quarter of population and even more considering the parameters that determine the quality of life, behavior and self-identification. Drawing on multicriterial approach, the authors propose additional measures of support, which cover not only the poorest segments and large families,but also a significant cohort of low-income citizens, as well as measures that contribute to higher-income work and the increment of human wealth. The analysis concludes with cost assessment of suggested measures and the effect of their implementation on socio-economic development and welfare until 2030.

This study established a goat embryonic kidney (GEK) cell line which was susceptible to influenza virus. Kidney cells were separated from fetus of Matou goat and GEK cell line was established by cell biology techniques. Tumorigenicity of GEK cell line was tested by tumorigenesis assay, and its marker protein expression was tested by immunohistochemistry. Receptors of influenza virus and susceptibility to H1N1 influenza virus were also tested by immunofluorescence method and cell infection assay, respectively. Results showed that GEK cells transplanted into BALB/c nude mice could not induce tumorigenesis. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the cells expressed cytokeratin 18 (CK-18) and vimentin which are marker proteins of renal epithelial cells. Immunofluorescent assay indicated that the abundance of α 2,3-sialic acid (SA) receptor and α 2,6-SA receptor on the surface of GEK cells were higher than that of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The influenza virus titers in GEK cells were similar to that of MDCK cells. Therefore, the GEK cell line established here will possibly contribute to the future influenza virus isolation and vaccines development.

Published: September 2023

The present investigation was undertaken to amplify, clone and express MPT63 gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to discern this secretary protein as a potent diagnostic and immunogenic antigen. Primer specific for MPT63 gene with restriction enzyme sites, viz BamHI and HindIII were designed. MPT63 gene was amplified using DNA from M. tuberculosis 198/94 (IVRI) strain, with designed primers by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The 412 bp amplicon was purified and first cloned into pGEM-T vector. Positive clone was confirmed by colony PCR and restriction enzyme digestion. The pGEM-T released insert was ligated with BamHI and HindIII digested pET32b expression vector using T4 DNA ligase and transformed into Escherchia coli. Recombinant clones were selected by colony PCR and restriction enzyme digestion and induced with 1mM final concentration of Isopropylß- D-thiogalactopyranosidase (IPTG) for expression of the recombinant MPT63 protein. The expressed protein of 33 kDa was obtained during 2 h post induction. Western blot with Ni- NTA anti-histidine HRP conjugate and hyperimmune serum raised in rabbits confirmed the presence and purity of recombinant MPT63 protein by immuno reactivity at the unique 33 kDa region. Further confirmation of recombinant protein was done by dot blot and indirect ELISA using rabbit hyperimmune serum. The recombinant MPT63 protein was evaluated as a skin test antigen to produce delayed type hypersensitivity reaction in guinea pigs. Recombinant MPT63 protein produced skin erythema of 3 to 4 mm diameter in guinea pigs sensitized with killed M. tuberculosis and M. bovis culture. From the present study, it may be concluded that understanding of the immunogenic components of an infectious agent is essential through molecular characterization, in regard to the serological diagnosis, and the development of strategies for efficient immune protection and eradication of the disease.

Leptin plays an important role in the regulation of feed intake, energy metabolism, growth and reproduction of rabbit. We used the polymerase chain reaction- single stranded confirmation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) technique to screen for DNA polymorphisms of the leptin gene in 150 New Zealand White rabbits. In all the New Zealand White rabbits, we amplified different regions of the leptin gene. PCR-SSCP of all these fragments revealed monomorphic pattern. All the amplified fragments of leptin gene were monomorphic, which is in contradiction to many earlier reports of mammalian species. All the fragments were sequenced and compared with the available sequences of different species. The nucleotide sequence analysis indicated that the per cent similarity of leptin gene fragments of New Zealand White rabbit with rat, mouse, cattle and pig was 79.6â€“87.5%. At various places, the amino acids and protein were different in New Zealand White rabbit as compared to rat, mouse, cattle and pig. For relative quantification, total RNA was isolated from liver tissues collected at 2 different stages of growth i.e. pre-weaning and post-weaning. Our results indicate no significant differences in the mRNA expression of leptin between two different stages of growth.

Published: September 2023

Average meat yield of goat in India is lower than many developing countries because of under feeding and faulty management practices.There are different improved technologies and practices recommended by experts for goat farmers to get better production and productivity. Present study was conducted in Mainpuri and Firozabad district of Uttar Pradesh among 240 goat farmers to ascertain their adoption behaviour about improved technologies of goat husbandry.Reproduction and heath care practices had lowest mean score of adoption, kid management practices had highest mean followed by feeding practices whereas mean score of general management practice fall in between kid and feeding management. Majority of goat farmers were partial adaptors of all the management practices. Education of farmers and their family education status had positive correlation (p<0.05) whereas flock size had negative correlation with adoption index of many management practices. Age, flock size and family size contribute negatively whereas farmer's education, family education status and land holding contribute positively to adoption index of many management practices.
Irregular Sudoku-type designs for animal experiments

Published: September 2023

In experiments involving animals, it may be a difficult task for the experimenter to get homogeneous groups of animals. Blocking is commonly practiced to eliminate variability present in experimental material due to some known sources such as age, breed, housing condition, initial body weight, litter size, etc. When there are two noninteracting sources of variation in the experimental material, experimental designs under two-way blocking structure are advised. However, these designs are not appropriate when a third source of variability is present in theexperimental material as they may not be able to mark out the third features that tend to clump the animals into a third set of compact groups. Many times the clumps may be irregular, having no uniformity. In this paper, four methods of constructing designs under three way blocking structure for irregular clumps were developed in which two methods give designs with clumps having empty nodes. These designs assure more precise comparison among the treatments under study by removing three known sources of variability present in the experimental material.

Authors: SHARMA RAJAN , GUPTA S K , KADVANI D L , SHIVPURI ASHA , RAI K N
Published: September 2023

Sixteen isolates of downy mildew (DM) pathogen (Sclerospora graminicola) collected during 2009 and 2010 from the A1 zone in India that comprises parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana were characterized for virulence diversity along with five isolates collected during 1997 to 2005 from this region that are currently being used in the greenhouse screening. Based on DM incidence, three new pathotypes Sg 445, Sg 526 and Sg 519 identified as most virulent were selected for the greenhouse screening of 158 breeding lines under high disease pressure (>90% disease incidence in the susceptible checks). Twenty nine lines were resistant (=10% disease incidence) to at least one of the three pathotypes. Three lines were free from DM and five lines were resistant (=10% disease incidence) to all the three pathotypes, and seven lines were resistant to two of the three pathotypes. The multiple pathotype resistance identified in these breeding lines provides valuable genetic resources for breeding disease resistant pearl millet parental lines and hybrids for A1 zone in India.

Authors: SPEHIA R S , SHARMA VIPIN , RAINA J N , BHARDWAJ R K
Published: September 2023

The experiment was laid out in split plot design and the treatments comprised V trellis with two stems (T1), V trellis with four stems (T2) and Spanish trellis (T3) as main plot along with three plant spacing levels, viz. S1 (40 cm × 40 cm), S2 (60 cm × 40 cm) and S3 (60 cm × 60 cm) as sub plot treatments. Results of the study showed that plant height was significantly affected by trellis, spacing and their interactions. Number of fruits/plant was highest under Spanish trellis and wider spacing (S3). Fruit weight, yield/plant and yield/square meter were observed to be significantly higher under V trellis with two and four stems as compared to Spanish trellis. Plant spacing also influenced these parameters significantly and although fruit weight and yield/plant were higher in wider spacing treatment (S3), yield per square meter was significantly higher in close spacing (S1). Economic analysis indicated that V trellis with four stems at 40 cm×40 cm spacing is optimum for more income per rupee invested for greenhouse cultivation of coloured capsicum.

Bio-efficacy and physical compatibility of biorational insecticides, viz. emamectin benzoate and Neem Baan® was investigated against brinjal shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenne and okra shoot and fruit borer, Earias vittella Fab. under field conditions during kharif 2010 and 2011. Both biorationals were found compatible with each other by using jar test and emulsion stability. The results revealed that in both brinjal and okra there was no phytotoxicity observed due to emamectin benzoate with Neem Baan® combination. The lowest per cent fruit infestation was observed in the treatment of emamectin benzoate combined with Neem Baan® @ 7 ml per litre of water, i e 7.36% and 5.39% on number basis and 8.13% and 5.77% on weight basis in brinjal during kharif 2010 and 2011 respectively. Also the highest marketable fruit yield in weight basis was also obtained in the treatment (12.35 tonnes/ ha and 16.89 tonnes/ha) during kharif 2010 and 2011. Similarly, in okra also it recorded lowest fruit infestation (5.92% and 5.59%) and highest marketable yield (1.62 tonnes/ha and 2.19 tonnes/ha) in 2010 and 2011 on weight basis. Further, it was observed that the plant parameters like shoot length and number of flowers recorded significantly higher in the treatment of emamectin benzoate combined with Neem Baan® than untreated control (T8) in both the years. The results indicated that the combination of neem formulation with emamectin benzoate was effective in managing L. orbonalis and E. vitella.
Population dynamics of rodents during bamboo flowering event in North East India
Authors: THAKUR N S AZAD , FIRAKE D M
Published: September 2023

The ecological aspects of rodents during bamboo flowering (BF) phase (Mautam) were studied in Meghalaya and Mizoram states of India during 2005-2008. Rodent population was almost stable during BF in Meghalaya. Likewise, it was also normal in Mizoram during 2005 to 2007. However, rodent outbreak was observed after gregarious flowering (GF) of M. baccifera during 2007-08 in Mizoram and it was more severe after complete fruit shedding. Rodent activities were found to be highest during July to October and their population was significantly higher in upland cultivated areas especially near animal farm-houses. Out of 12 species recorded, merely six species of rodents were observed in BF areas of Mizoram. Surprisingly, Bandicota bengalensis was recorded to be a pre-dominant species, though not observed in bamboo forests. Species wise, sex ratio of rodents varied from 1:0.81 to 1:1.12 in Mizoram. Furthermore, rodent population was recorded to be higher in GF areas and location wise it was more in Kolasib district of Mizoram. In general, sex ratio of rodents was quite equal in all districts of Mizoram; however it was basically female biased in sporadic flowering (SF) areas. Maturity status of rodents in Mizoram indicated their complete adulthood during flowering time; where testes and vaginas were largely scrotal and perforated type, respectively. Overall study concludes that, bamboo flowering alone didn’t increase rodent population significantly; but other factors mainly weather and starting time of flowering could also be involved in this complex process.
Archaeological evidence on the use of vetchlings (Lathyrus spp) in ancient Europe
Authors: MIKIC ALEKSANDAR
Published: September 2023

Vetchlings (Lathyrus spp) were a part of the everyday diet of the European hunter-gatherers at the end of the last Ice Age. The major criteria to determine the domestication in vetchlings are non-dehiscent pods, larger seed size and smooth seed testa. Vetchlings seeds were found among the earliest findings of cultivated crops at the site of Tell El- Kerkh, Syria, from 10th millennium BP. Along with cereals, pea and lentil, vetchlings have become definitely associated with the start of the ‘agricultural revolution’ in the Old World. Vetchlings entered Europe in its southern regions and progressed into its interior via Danube. Its distribution was rapid, since the available evidence reveals its presence in remote places at similar periods.

Authors: SHARMA SANJAY KUMAR , SHARMA P C
Published: September 2023

Five insecticides, i.e. lambda cyhalothrin 5 EC [Bravo5000®] (0.0025%), profenofos 50 EC [Profenofos®] (0.05%),  triazophos  40  EC  [Hostathion®]  (0.04%), imidacloprid 17.8 SL [Maharaja®] (0.0178%), dichlorvos 76 EC [Nuvan®] (0.018%) and aqueous neem seed kernel extract (5.0 ml/L) were evaluated for the management of Pieris brassicae. Experiments were conducted in randomised block design (RBD) with three replications at research farm of Highland Agricultural Research and Extension Centre, Kukumseri, Lahaul and Spiti, Himachal Pradesh during kharif 2008 and 2009. It was concluded that all the insecticides evaluated in the present studies were effective in controlling P. brassicae on cauliflower and helped in increasing the marketable yield of curds by manifolds. However, lambda cyhalothrin was best in reducing the P. brassicae population, whereas triazophos gave highest reduction in plant infestation by P. brassicae. NSKE was least effective in curtailing P. brassicae infestation. The highest mean yield (16.16 tonnes/ha) was obtained in dichlorvos sprayed plots which also proved to be the most economical insecticide having the highest BC ratio (2.51).

Published: September 2023

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2008-09 to study the effect of crop geometries and fertility levels on growth, yield and residual nutrients of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) hybrids under rainfed condition. Cotton hybrids MLCH 318 was planted under wider crop geometry of 90 cm × 60 cm which recorded significantly higher growth parameters, monopodial branches and seed cotton weight/plant. However, yield potential of MLCH 318 were higher under closer crop geometry (60 cm × 60 cm) and recorded significantly taller plant, yield attributes and yield of cotton over wider crop geometry of 90 cm × 60 cm (S1) due to more number of plants stand at initial and harvest stages, respectively. Although, cultivar VBCH 2231 (V2) with crop geometry of 90 cm × 60 cm (S1) recorded more in residual status of N (200.44 and 204 kg/ha), P (16.82 and 16.67 kg/ha) and K (496.50 and 489.04 kg/ha), respectively. Among fertility levels, growth characters, yield attributes and yield of cotton with residual N (204.11), P (17.24) and K (495.26 kg/ha) were significantly higher under highest levels of fertility, i.e. 62.5: 31.25: 31.25 kg N: P: K/ha. Thus, it concluded that sowing of cultivar MLCH 318 at crop geometry of 60 cm × 60 cm and fertilized with. 62.5: 31.25: 31.25 kg N: P: K/ha produced significantly higher yield attributes and yield under rainfed condition.

Published: September 2023

Yaşlanma doğumla başlayan gelişimsel sürecin önemli bir evresidir ve bu süreçte fiziksel değişikliklerin yanında duygusal ve bilişsel işlevlerde bazı değişiklikler olmaktadır. Yaşlanmada gözlenen bilişsel işlevlerdeki değişimin, sıklıkla hafif bilişsel bozukluk ya da demans gibi hastalıklara evrilebildiği alanyazındaki çalışmalarla gösterilmiştir. Bu durum yaşlanmada bilişsel işlevlerdeki değişimi inceleyen çalışmaları giderek daha önemli hale getirmektedir. Yaşlanma sürecinde bozulan bilişsel işlev alanlarından biri de dikkattir. Mevcut derleme çalışmasında yaşlanma sürecinde dikkat işlevlerindeki değişim incelenmiş ve bu değişime etki eden temel değişkenler tartışılmıştır. Bu amaçla öncelikle temel dikkat kuramları gözden geçirilmiş ve bu kuramların getirdiği açıklamalar doğrultusunda, yaşlanma ve dikkat süreçleri ele alınmıştır. Yaşlanmanın seçici dikkat, bölünmüş dikkat ve dikkat kontrolü gibi en temel dikkat süreçleri üzerindeki etkisi değerlendirilmiştir. Bunun yanında deneyim ve bir görevde otomatikleşmenin, dikkat işlevlerinde yaşlanmaya bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan bozucu etkilere karşı direnç oluşturmadaki etkileri de incelenmiştir. Davranışsal ölçümler ve görüntüleme tekniklerini temel alan çalışmalar birlikte gözden geçirilmiş; böylelikle yaşlanma ve dikkat arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklamada daha derinlikli bir kavrayış geliştirmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu derleme kapsamında yapılan gözden geçirmenin sonunda karşımıza temel bir soru çıkmaktadır. Yaşlanma sürecinde dikkat işlevlerindeki bozulma, bilgiyi işlemleme hızındaki değişimden mi yoksa yönetici işlevlerdeki yetersizlikten mi kaynaklanmaktadır? Mevcut derlemede, bu soruya alanyazındaki çalışmalardan elde edilen sonuçlar üzerinden açıklama getirilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Interdisciplinarity and Postgraduate Teaching of Knowledge Organization (KO): Elements for a Necessary Dialogue
Authors: Barité Mario , Parentelli Varenka , Casaballe Natalia Rodríguez , Suárez María Verónica
Published: September 2023

Interdisciplinarity implies the previous existence of disciplinary fields and not their dissolution. As a general objective, we propose to establish an initial approach to the emphasis given to interdisciplinarity in the teaching of KO, through the teaching staff responsible for postgraduate courses focused on -or related to the KO, in Ibero-American universities. For conducting the research, the framework and distribution of a survey addressed to teachers is proposed, based on four lines of action: 1. The way teachers manage the concept of interdisciplinarity. 2. The place that teachers give to interdisciplinarity in KO. 3. Assessment of interdisciplinary content that teachers incorporate into their postgraduate courses. 4. Set of teaching strategies and resources used by teachers to include interdisciplinarity in the teaching of KO. The study analyzed 22 responses. Preliminary results show that KO teachers recognize the influence of other disciplines in concepts, theories, methods, and applications, but no consensus has been reached regarding which disciplines and authors are the ones who build interdisciplinary bridges. Among other conclusions, the study strongly suggests that environmental and social tensions are reflected in subject representation, especially in the construction of friendly knowl­edge organization systems with interdisciplinary visions, and in the expressions through which information is sought.

Autobiographical Truth or a Figure of Paralipsis? The Rimsky-Korsakov Case
Authors: Mishchenko M.
Published: September 2023

The image of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov as the “national composer” was formed in Russian musical historiography through the eforts of musicologist Boris Asagev and under the inhuence of autobiographical narrative, including Korsakov’s Chronicle of My Musical Life. At the same time, the composer’s words about his work were carefully selected and censored under the ideological climate of the USSR. As a result, Rimsky-Korsakov still appears in many ways as a national musical curiosity outside the European musical tradition. Explorations in the territory of omissions and censors reveal the composer as an inquisitive (and jealous) listener of the musical ideas of others. Having a keen ear for reminiscence, Korsakov regularly incorporated what he had heard from many and very diferent European composers, including Richard Wagner, Frédéric Chopin, Gaetano Donizetti, Édouard Lalo, Johan Svendsen, and Edvard Grieg, into his music, and above all, into his operas. Rimsky-Korsakov’s self-suicient originality turns out to be a hoax. What is manifested in Korsakov’s claim for the truth about himself is the hitherto actual canon of “the composer himself.” That is, the belief in the truth of the composer’s will, intentions, words about himself and his art, and as a consequence, the chimerical equality of the composer with the author.

Hermeneutika Fazlurrahman Untuk Memahami Hadist Nabi Tentang Pezina
Authors: Bakhri Amirul
Published: September 2023

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan bahwa pezina dalam hadis Nabi Saw yang secara tekstual disebutkan keluar keimanannya memerlukan pemaknaan yang dianggap tepat. Karena ketika dimaknai keluarnya iman bagi pezina, akan menimbulkan dampak yang negatif. Tidak membuat para pezina menjadi sadar dan kembali ke jalan yang lurus, akan tetapi bisa menjadikan semakin jauh dari agama, bahkan benar-benar keluar dari agama. Hal inilah yang menjadi pembahasan dalam artikel ini untuk mengungkap makna hadis Nabi Saw tentang pezina dengan pendekatan hermeneutika Fazlurrahman yang dikenal dengan double movement. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode library research dengan analisis literal readings serta interpretive and reflexive readings. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa Fazlurrahman berpandangan dalam memahami hadis Nabi Saw tentang pezina diperlukan upaya untuk melihat teks hadis melalui kondisi masa lampau di mana hadis tersebut muncul, kemudian ditarik atau dikontekstualisasikan pemaknaan hadis di masa kontemporer kekinian untuk mendapatkan pesan moral dari ajaran di dalam hadis Nabi Saw tersebut. Hasil dari pengaplikasi double movement Fazlurrahman berkenaan dengan hadis Nabi Saw tentang pezina memunculkan bahwa makna hadis tersebut tidaklah dimaknai dengan makna secara tekstual, akan tetapi dimaknai dengan kontekstual. Maksudnya yakni ketika Nabi Saw mensabdakan hadis tentang pezina tidaklah dianggap dengan kekafiran, namun para pezina tersebut imannya yang menurun.

Published: September 2023

The current agricultural development projection requires active participation from the younger generation. However, the declining interest of youth in the agricultural sector poses a challenge to sustainable agricultural development. This research examines communication patterns among high school students with parents, teachers, and peers regarding agricultural work values and interest in the sector. The study analyzed seven variables: individual characteristics (X1), interpersonal communication with parents (X2), teachers (X3), and peers (X4), family characteristics (X5), agricultural work values (Y1), and interest in the sector (Y2). Results show positive relationships between communication with parents, teachers, peers, and agricultural work values. Students perceive agriculture as promising but not fully aligned with their preferences. Teacher communication significantly influences work values and interest more than parents and peers. Effective teacher-student communication is vital in shaping agricultural work values and interest. Bridging perception gaps can boost youth interest in agricultural studies and careers, fostering a skilled and committed future generation for Indonesia's agricultural development
