OPTIMALISASI BOOKING RATE DENGAN MENINGKATKAN KONTRIBUSI INSTAGRAM DAN WHATSAPP DI AUTO2000 ZZZ
Authors: Abikusna Setia Abikusna
Published: December 2022

Auto2000 ZZZ memiliki salah satu sarana untuk pelanggan yaitu appointment atau yang sering disebut dengan booking service. Booking service merupakan salah satu sarana yang memudahkan pelanggan melakukan servis sehingga pelanggan tidak perlu antri dan dapat diprioritaskan. Booking service juga membuat aktivitas bengkel menjadi lebih tertata karena kebutuhan pelanggan dapat dipersiapkan terlebih dahulu. Namun ternyata booking rate di bengkel Auto2000 ZZZ belum mencapai target Key Performance Indicator (KPI) yaitu hanya 48% artinya pelanggan yang walk in lebih banyak dari pada pelanggan yang booking sehingga penulis melakukan survei kepada pelanggan walk in dan ternyata 59% diantaranya disebabkan oleh ketidaktahuan mengenai tata cara booking. Berdasarkan hal tersebut penulis berencana mengoptimalkan booking rate melalui platform yang mudah dijangkau oleh masyarakat luas yaitu Instagram dan WhatsApp. Penulis melakukan analisa menggunakan metode fishbone guna mendapatkan akar penyebab, maka dibuatlah akses booking melalui Instagram dan mengoptimalkan reminder service pelanggan melalui WhatsApp dengan menambah agent reminder service dan membuat aplikasi monitoring hasil reminder. Dengan adanya improvement tersebut booking rate naik sebesar 12% yaitu menjadi 60% yang artinya sudah melewati target KPI.

Kata Kunci : Akses booking melalui Instagram, Reminder Service, Aplikasi Monitoring
IMPLEMENTASI DMAIC UNTUK MENYELESAIKAN MASALAH PENUMPUKAN KERETA PRODUK REJECT PADA PROSES CRUSHING DI PT XYZ

Published: December 2022

Proses penanganan produk reject atau cacat hasil cetak injeksi plastik di PT Autoplastik Indonesia merupakan bagian yang penting untuk menjaga siklus produksi di mesin cetak injeksi platik berjalan lancar. Salah satu bagian tersebut adalah proses crushing produk menggunakan mesin crusher yang mempunyai daya 75 HP. Proses crusher diawali dengan produk NG yang masuk ke dalam GR NG lalu didata dan dipilah oleh operator, kemudian disusun ke dalam antrian kereta NG dan selanjutnya akan diproses ke dalam mesin. Pada saat dalam antrian, waktu tunggu dari kereta terlalu lama yang menyebabkan penumpukan antrian karena tidak sesuai waktu proses crusher dengan waktu masuk produk NG. Dari hal tersebut, ditemukan bahwa penyebab proses crusher yang lama adalah tidak adanya alat angkut sehingga operator diharuskan naik turun tangga dan tidak adanya penyesuaian tempat pengambilan antrian kereta. Maka dari itu diperlukan suatu alat angkut yang dapat memasukkan produk NG ke dalam input mesin dan penyesuaian tempat pengambilan antrian kereta agar tidak terlalu jauh. Alat angkut yang akan digunakan ialah bucket conveyor yang dapat menampung produk-produk NG masuk ke dalam input mesin sejauh 3 meter. Proses perancangan alat angkut dilakukan dengan tahapan yaitu diawali dengan masalah (define the problem), pengumpulan informasi (gathering information), rancangan konsep (conceptual design), perancangan wujud (embodiment design), perancangan rinci (detail design). Alat angkut dituntut untuk dapat memasukkan produk NG ke dalam input mesin dimana mendapatkan 3 solusi awal yaitu penggunaan dari belt, belt & cleat, dan belt & bucket. Dengan adanya solusi tersebut dilakukan perbandingan dan mendapat solusi untuk penggunaan belt & bucket yang akan digerakkan oleh motor yang melalui gearbox reducer. Penambahan unit conveyor ini mampu memangkas waktu siklus proses crushing dari 1621,5 s menjadi 832,5 s.
Prospects of Participation of Scientific Institutions and Higher Education Institutions in Targeted Regional Programmes of Odesa Oblast in the Context of Economic Recovery
Authors: NEBOHA TETIANA
Published: December 2022

The article presents a generalising analysis of targeted regional programs of the Odesa region in the context of identifying direct participants in their implementation, analyses the data on the possible integration of the results of research work carried out by scientific institutions and higher education institutions (HEIs) within the regional target and comprehensive programmes of the region. The study was based on such information resources as regulatory legal acts of Ukraine, analytical materials of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, Strategic and Programme Documents of the Odesa Regional Council, analytical data on the scientific activities of scientific institutions and higher education institutions of Odesa Oblast. According to the author, the post-war rehabilitation of the country is impossible without scientific, technical and innovative development, which is manifested in the practical application of scientific developments. Therefore, it is important to study the prospects of participation of scientific institutions and higher education institutions in the regional development programmes of the Odesa oblast in the context of economic recovery. It was found that the amount and share of funding for the activities of the programmes implemented with the participation of scientific institutions and higher education institutions of Odesa oblast are insignificant in the total funding of individual programmes. The article shows that the engagement of scientific institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NAS of Ukraine) and higher education institutions of Odesa oblast in the realisation of the regional targeted and complex programs will allow optimising the costs of research works and avoiding double funding since most of the operations are carried out at the expense of state funding. Participation of scientific institutions in the process of development, elaboration and implementation of regional target programs will contribute to their credibility, will allow for detailed planning. This, in turn, will ensure effective implementation with the achievement of the set tasks and goals, thus influencing the development of the market, (including innovation infrastructure), integration of science, education, small and medium business and public authorities
Prediction of the Beams Under Bending Load
Authors: Kravarikova Helena
Published: December 2022

Analysis of the beam load must be paid great attention. The external loads determine the resultant force of internal forces in the cross-section. An important task in practice is to determine the properties of the deflection line and the maximum stresses at a crucial point of the beam to assess its functional capability. The magnitude of deflection and stress can be solved both analytically and by numerical simulation. The obtained results allow us to predict critical points of the structure, thus avoiding the accumulation of maximum stresses and deflection, possibly leading to the failure and loss of the structure stability.
Noetic system of concepts in reference to ethnological issues as exemplified in the study of traditions of upbringing among the Jews of the Republic of Moldova
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Cushnir Jozefina
Published: December 2022

The noetic system of concepts based on the thesis that ethics is originally immanent to the mythological consciousness is centered on studying the spiritual and existential manifestations of man. The term “noetic” used here implies “spiritual” in the existential aspect, in the anthropological sense not in the theological one. The mythological consciousness is defined as everything existentially significant in the depths of the unconscious, including intuition, and everything in the verbalized part of consciousness, which is conditioned by it. The system is intended for revealing and comprehending the implicit content of the activity of the mythological consciousness, highlighting the harmonizing (ethicizing) aspect of this activity, its inclination to meaningfulness/ethics, or, on the contrary, its de-harmonizing aspect or confrontation with ethics. A special system of key concepts and their definitions complies with the noetic system. The following issues have been used for their development: hermeneutical phenomenological examination of intuitions of the mythological consciousness; ideas belonging to prominent thinkers; ethno-cultural specifics. The noetic system applied to ethnology can be regarded as: a sort of development of C. Geertz’s ideas of noetic experience; an innovative way of sharing it; a tool for identifying the intrinsic meanings of ethnic experience and their verbalization. Examples of their identification in the upbringing of Moldovan Jews are provided.
Imagining the Ring of Gyges. The Dual Rationality of Thought-Experimenting
Authors: Miščević Nenad
Published: December 2022

In her already classical criticism of thought-experimenting, Kathy Wilkes points to superficialities in the most famous moral-political thought experiments, taking the Ring of Gyges as her central example. Her critics defend the Ring by discussing possible variations in the scenario(s) imagined. I propose here that the debate points to a significant dual structure of thought experiments. Their initial presentation(s) mobilize the immediate, cognitively not very impressive imaginative and refl ective efforts both of the proponent and the listener of the proposal. The further debate, like the one exemplifi ed by Wilkes’s criticisms and some of the answers, appeals to a deeper, more rational variety of imagination and reasoning. I suggest that this duality is typical for moral and political thought experimenting in general, conjecture that it might be extended to the whole area of thought experimenting.

PROBLEMS OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN AGGLOMERATIONS
Authors:   Institute for Regional Economic Studies Russian Academy of Sciences, Lyapunova Galina P.
Published: December 2022

The economic and functional connectivity of the territorial entities included in urban agglomerations creates opportunities for cooperation in the joint implementation of investment projects and targeted programs aimed at the development of infrastructure. It is obvious that the development of infrastructure projects and targeted programs at the preparatory stage involves the formation of a portfolio of facilities services for each territorial entity, taking into account the level of provision of other entities within the boundaries of the urban agglomeration and the volume of own funds and external investments, which include: subsidies allocated from the Federal Fund for Regional Development to the least well-off subjects; investments from budgetary or extra-budgetary funds of higher levels of government; In order to co-finance expenditures in solving issues of local importance, public-private partnerships can also be created and horizontal subsidies provided by one territorial entity to another territorial entity of the same level. In a formalized form, the model of the process of forming a portfolio of service facilities of territorial entities included in the urban agglomeration can be described as follows. It is required to draw up a plan for the commissioning of service facilities that would satisfy the restrictions on investments of two types (own and external) and provide the maximum total effect of the entire system of service objects being created. The mathematical model presented in the article belongs to the class of linear programming problems with Boolean variables and can be solved by an approximate method involving the use of the primitive decomposition method, which significantly reduces the complexity of the solution.

The Board of Directors’ Effectiveness on the Performance of Loans in Tanzania
Authors: Mwambuli Erick , Mbuya Mariaclara
Published: December 2022

The study assessed the board of director’s effectiveness on the performance of loans in Tanzania. Four specific objectives guided the study as indicated by independent variables named board member’s independency, skills diversity, gender diversity and board meetings while loan performances measured by Non-Performing Loan (NPL) specified as dependent variable. Explanatory research design guided the study whereby the study selected sample of six (6) listed banks by using purposively sampling. The study found and concluded effectiveness of the board of directors is positive affecting performance of loans for listed banks through board member’s independency, gender diversity and skills diversity. The effectiveness of the board of directors on loan performance is negatively affected by board meetings. The study findings provide insights from a practical point of view on the board of directors’ effectiveness on the performance of loans in developing countries like Tanzania, thus filling the gap in the literature reviews. The study findings serve as guidance to regulators and policymakers on what set of factors to review and incorporate into policy, this will help the banks to achieve the current regulator’s requirement of NPL ratio of 5% or below. Apart from the study findings' having wider implications, the study has a few shortcomings for this reason, it would be noteworthy to extend this study to other latitudes incorporating even non-listed banks. This is because compliance of Banking and Financial Institutions (Corporate Governance) Regulations 2021 under BOT is mandatory to all financial institutions in Tanzania both listed and non-listed.
Factors Defining Prices of Finished Cattle in Mato Grosso Contrasted Within Brazil’s Pricing Structure
Authors: Gameiro Augusto Hauber
Published: December 2022

Due to the socioeconomic importance of beef cattle production in Brazil, there are several studies that have been dedicated to the analysis of cattle price formation. The research herein introduces advances in the formulation of these prices by including logistics and industry concentration variables. We aimed to analyze the “prices paid” behavior for male cattle destined for slaughter in the state of Mato Grosso versus other Brazilian states and to evaluate the main factors that influence prices to producers. To this end, several Brazilian databases on price registration were analyzed using regression models. From the mid-1990s onwards, the price paid for cattle presented a scenario of more stable and less variable prices. In all Brazilian states, there was an alignment of prices with the Cepea Indicator, except in the Northeastern states. In Mato Grosso, the Cepea Indicator alone represented more than 90% of the cattle pricing phenomenon. Other factors that contributed to the formation of the price of live cattle in the state were: the distance from São Paulo state, the period of the year, the number of available cattle in the influence region, and slaughterhouse concentration. In the state of Mato Grosso, the Cepea Indicator showed greater discounts when compared to other Brazilian states; therefore, the use of indicators to assess the price paid for live cattle helps to reduce the asymmetry of information between farmers and industry.

Available and preferred incentives of staff members of five public and five private Senior High schools in Sunyani Municipality, Ghana, West Africa, were compared in this study during the 2021/2022 academic year. A random sample of 214 out of 645 workers from the 10 schools selected from 19 responded to 55 Likert-type questionnaires which had been pretested and with the Cronbach score of 0.73. Inferential statistical analysis identified several and specific incentives offered to the two groups (private and public), as well as those they prefer. Respondents from private institutions favoured incentives that emphasized on their development to enhance their ability to excel and to support their remunerations with mid-day meals. However, public sector workers prioritized facilities like school busing, small classroom sizes, and improved retirement benefits. The revelation from the study suggests the need for educational institutions to continuously track workers' performance against the incentives and rewards granted. Public workers are remunerated from the public trust and assured of timely payments and promotions, but not necessarily satisfied. Future studies will need to assess the level of satisfaction against the performance of their schools.
El turismo en el siglo XXI: Importancia, ventajas y desventajas desde un enfoque legal

Published: December 2022

La movilidad y el turismo están relacionados, pero no son congruentes. El turismo expresa un cambio de ubicación que no es principalmente con fines lucrativos (migración, viajes de negocios), para la autoprotección (evasión) o para adquirir una calificación (estudio, capacitación), sino por motivos de recreación, placer, salud o religión. El turismo aumentó cada año hasta 2019, en el año Corona 2020 hubo una caída. Lo que hoy llamamos turismo comenzó en el siglo XIX. Los ricos de Gran Bretaña, por ejemplo, podían permitirse viajar a otros países solo por diversión. Alrededor de 1960, las personas menos ricas también se iban de vacaciones al extranjero. Se habló de turismo de masas. Desde entonces, muchas personas pueden permitirse viajar a otros continentes en avión. Ahora hay todo tipo de turismo. El presente estudio analiza la importancia del turismo, sus ventajas y desventajas. La revisión indica que los elementos económicos y ambientales pueden tener ventajas y su sostenibilidad dependerá de la calidad de gestión. En los últimos años, se reconoce cada vez más que todos los destinos turísticos tienen límites de capacidad de carga. Entre ellos figuran los techos de infraestructuras para turistas, la capacidad del entorno natural y la resistencia sociocultural de la población local. Además, el turismo aumenta el calentamiento global a través de los gases de efecto invernadero.

El marco de los derechos humanos es universal. Se basa en la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos y en los instrumentos de protección de los derechos humanos de la comunidad internacional que la desarrollan. Los derechos humanos son un fundamento esencial de cualquier planteamiento de desarrollo sostenible, incluido el desarrollo turístico. Los gobiernos y la industria turística deben reconocer que su protección tiene prioridad sobre los intereses económicos. En la Conferencia de Viena sobre Derechos Humanos de 1993, la comunidad internacional reconoció que la aplicación de los derechos humanos debe ser la máxima prioridad de todos los países y prevalecer sobre todas las demás obligaciones que impone el derecho internacional. En ese sentido, es importante analizar las leyes del turismo y la aplicación de estas como una herramienta de gestión para pasajeros y visitantes en la industria hotelera.

Diabetes mellitus is a well-recognized contributor to increased COVID-19 severity. Endothelial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of COVID-19, while thrombocytopenia has been identified as a potential risk factor for severe COVID-19. In this study, we evaluated the combined effect of thrombocytopenia and other markers of endothelial dysfunction on disease outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and active COVID-19 infection. Our aim was to risk stratify patients with COVID-19 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, which can help identify patients with high-risk features who will benefit the most from hospital admission and a high level of care. This cross-sectional study was performed after reviewing secondary data of 932 patients with COVID-19 and type 2 diabetes mellitus in the outpatient and inpatient settings across Qatar between March 1, 2020 and May 7, 2020. Univariate and multivariate analyses, with adjustment for low platelet counts, were performed for the following variables: age, hemoglobin, white blood cells (WBC), lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, ferritin, D-dimer, and interleukin 6. Increasing age was associated with an increased risk for death and/or intensive care unit admission in diabetic patients with COVID-19 who have low platelet counts. These findings support the evidence found in the literature and give special attention to COVID-19 patients with low platelet counts and diabetes mellites. These results can guide physicians in making clinical decisions regarding hospital admission and escalation of care during follow-up in this population of patients.
TEREKE KAYITLARI IŞIĞINDA 1768-1774 OSMANLI-RUS SAVAŞI’NA DAİR BİR GÖZLEM: CEPHEDE ÖLENLER, HUKUKİ SÜREÇLER VE KADIN
Authors: GÜLER Nuray
Published: December 2022

Yenilgi ile sonuçlanan 1768-1774 Rus Savaşı, Osmanlı Devleti’nin önemli toprak parçasına ve Avrupa’da prestij kaybına uğradığı bir dönüm noktasıdır. 20. yüzyıldan itibaren savaşların toplum üzerindeki etkileri basın, görsel malzeme, edebi ürünler ve resmi belgeler aracılığıyla tespit edilebilmekte iken 18. yüzyıl Osmanlı savaşlarının sosyal arka planını anlamaya yönelik malzeme oldukça sınırlıdır. Bu anlamda Osmanlı tarihinin sosyal yönüne de ışık tutabilecek en önemli kaynaklardan biri Şeriyye Sicilleri’dir. Savaşın sosyal yönünün ele alınacağı bu çalışmada sicil kayıtlarından yola çıkılarak savaşta ölen/şehit düşen bazı askerlerin mahkemeye yansıyan davaları incelenmiş olup, savaşın arka planında gerçekleşen toplumsal olaylar, Kısmet-i Askeriye Şeriyye Sicilleri ışığında değerlendirilmiştir. Sicil kayıtlarına göre cephede 1594’ü bulan ölümlerin ardından gelişen hukuki süreçler ve devamındaki hadiselere mercek tutulmuştur. Savaşa İstanbul’dan katılanların cephede vuku bulan vefatlarından sonra gelişen hukuki işleyiş, onlara ait eşyaların İstanbul’a aktarımı ve burada devam eden muameleler ekseninde, ailenin sorumlusu olarak kadınların rolleri öne çıkmaktadır. Cephede ölenlerin özellikle eşleri bu aşamalarda önemli görevler icra etmekte, geride kalan mirasın paylaşımının getirdiği vasi olma, alacak-verecek, satış ve ticari bir takım işlemlerin içerisinde yer almakta idiler. Bu görev dağılımında kadınların sorumluluk paylarının oldukça büyük olduğu gözlenmiştir. Cephede ölen ve kimsesi olmayan erkekler, yakınlarına ulaşılamayan kişilere ait eşyalar ise devletin resmi birimleri ve memurları tarafından korunmakta ve hukuki takibi yürütülmekte idi. İstanbul dışından savaşa katılanların da ölümlerinden sonra ailelerin İstanbul’a gelerek onlara ait eşyayı teslim alması savaşın sosyal yansımaları olarak ele alınmıştır.
Clinical and immunological features of the atopic dermatitis in children
Authors: Belan Eleonora Borisovna , Chueva Maria Alexandrovna , Sadchikova Tatiana Leontievna
Published: December 2022

Background: “atopic march” (AM) is the natural history of allergy mostly in children.
The aim: to describe the production of biomarkers of allergic inflammation in dependence on the duration of AD.
Patients and methods. 94 children suffered from atopic dermatitis (AD) have been included to the study. The severity of the disease has been estimated, serum level of total IgE, IL-4, interferon gamma and sIL-2R have been estimated.
Results. Coexistence of AR and AD was diagnosed in 32/94 (34.0%) patients. Less severity of AD (SCORAD 32.3 ± 9.17 score vs 22.2 ± 2.29 score, p < 0.05), but higher serum level of total IgE (Ме 123 [Q1-Q3 67–156] IU/ml vs Ме 53 [Q1-Q3 5–108] IU/ml, р < 0.001), IL-4 (Ме 12.0 [Q1-Q3 8.7–16.1] pg/ml vs Me 6.0 [Q1-Q3 2.2–12.1] pg/ml, р = 0.0399) and sIL-2R (Ме 2.1 [Q1-Q3 0–20] IU/ml vs Me 0 [Q1-Q3 0–12.9] IU/ml, р = 0.3365) are detected in comorbid patients. Eposides of wheezing are associated with additional risk of AD (OR 2.3 [95% CI 1, 18–4,54]).
Discussion. The development of AR in children with AD is considered as progression of natural history of allergy. In our study it was associated with higher level of IgE, IL-4 and sIL-2R. At the same time the comorbid patients had less severity of AD.
Conclusion. The coexistence of AD and AR in 3-year-old children is associated with less severity of skin symptoms but higher frequency of sensitization to inhalant allergens than in AD. AM is accompanied by higher production of Th2-dependent parameters and markers of early activation of T-cells. The probability of the AM is higher in 2 times if there were wheezing episodes in the anamnesis.

Introduction. Atopic dermatitis in children is an important medical and socio-economic problem of pediatrics and clinical allergology due to its wide prevalence in the pediatric population, variety and severity of clinical manifestation. In recent years, the attention of scientists has been attracted by the issues of impaired quality of life, changes in the nutritional status and physical development of such patients, associated both with the influence of the disease and the negative impact of many restrictive measures and elimination diets.
The aim of the review is to analyze and systematize the currently available scientific data on the quality of life, nutritive status and physical development of atopic dermatitis children and the most important factors that may influence them.

The mobility of applied nutrients in soil and root growth determines the interception and uptake of nutrients by crop. Present investigation includes two pot culture experiments under glass house condition. The objective of first experiment was to study the mobility of N, P and K in soil profile of cotton in respect to different NPK levels; whereas, in second experiment root growth of Bt and non-Bt cotton hybrids were studied under different NPK levels. The first experiment comprised of four NPK levels, i.e. control- 00:00:00, 50:25:25, 62.5:31.25:31.25 and 75:37.5:37.5 kg N, P2 O5 , K2 O ha-1 and four depth of sampling, i.e. 15, 30, 45 and 60 cm in soil column. Whereas, in second experiment Bt and non-Bt counterpart of same cotton hybrid were evaluated for root growth under above mention NPK levels. Both the experiments consist of four set of replications and experimental design was FRBD. Results illustrate that, concentration of available N, P and K in soil profile of cotton significantly increased with the highest rate of NPK than control. Irrespective of NPK levels, shallow depth of sampling (15 cm) recorded maximum concentration of available N, P and K throughout the period of experimentation. However, N was mobile up to 60 cm depth and K up to 45 cm depth in 90 days; whereas P mobility was restricted only up to 15 cm depth even in 90 days. Each increase in NPK level increased the downward mobility of N in soil by 15 cm at 30 days after fertilizer application. The increased in available P content with increase in NPK levels remains restricted to placement zone (15 cm) only and its downward mobility in soil profile over the period in response to NPK levels was absent. However, K was found mobile up to 45 cm depth under highest level of NPK at 30 days after fertilizer application. As regards root growth, Bt hybrid recorded longest root at initial stage whereas, at later stage it was in non-Bt. Application of the highest rate of NPK significantly increased root length over lower levels.

India accounts for 33 per cent of the world area and 22 per cent of the world production of pulses. Green gram (Vigna radiate L. Wilczek.) is the third important pulse crop in India after chick pea and red gram. It is grown in about 36 lakh hectares with the total production of about 17 lakh tonnes with a productivity of about 500 kg per hectare. The reasons for low productivity include non adoption of improved varieties and unawareness of recommended crop production and protection technologies. The extent of adoption of improved agricultural technologies is a crucial aspect under innovation diffusion process and is most important for enhancing vertical agricultural production. Keeping this in view, frontline demonstrations on green gram were conducted at 20 locations in Chodavaram block of Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh, with an objective to demonstrate the high yielding varieties (HYVs) and latest improved technologies to the farmers. The demonstrations included adoption of HYVs (WGG-42 and IPM-2-14), seed treatment, integrated nutrient management and timely plant protection in comparison to farmers practice. The incidence of Yellow vein mosaic was 0-5 per cent in improved varieties compared to 20-25 per cent in local variety. Both the varieties, WGG-42 and IPM-2-14 recorded 5.3 quintals per ha and 5.8 quintals per hectare, which was much higher than the local variety cultivated by farmer (3.8-4.0 q/ha). The cost economics also reflected the superiority of ICM practices which registered BC ratio of 3.53-3.56 when compared to farmers practice (2.76-3.10).

An investigation was conducted at the Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture Parbhani, during which studies on tuberose (Polyanthus tuberosa L.) mutation breeding were explored and promising mutants were isolated. In VM1 generation and VM2 generation, the experimental material was Phule Rajani of tuberose variety treated with five doses of 0.5 Kr, 1Kr, 1.5Kr, 2Kr, and 2.5 Kr. The maximum floral abnormalities were observed in treatment T4 in the VM1 generation, whereas the maximum flower abnormalities were observed in treatment T3 in the VM2 generation. In the VM1 generation, the highest mutation frequency was reported at treatment T3. Treatment T1 had the highest mutation frequency in the VM2 generation. In early mutant characters, the highest percentage of the spectrum was seen in treatment T2 in VM1 and VM2. In both generations, the greatest spectrum percentage was recorded in the flower colour mutant character in treatment T2. In all generations, the greatest spectrum % was recorded in the tiny flower mutant at treatment T4. In both generations of the Big flower mutant, the highest spectrum % was found in treatment T1. In mutant characteristics, the number of petals increased, and the greatest spectrum percentage was seen at treatment T2 in VM1. Maximum generation in VM2 at T1 therapy. In the VM1 generation, the number of spikes increased, and the spectrum % rose. At treatment T2, the number of spikes in the VM2 generation increased. In the VM1 and VM2 generations, the greatest spectrum % was seen in late mutant characters at treatment T5. Both generational variations can be seen.

Impacts from flood pose high risk to lives and properties of river plain inhabitants across the globe. Plains of Northeast India, including central valley in Manipur, often experience floods of variable intensities in different seasons of the year. Current flood mitigation measures of the region scarcely consider the dissimilarity in inundation patterns produced by floods of different seasons. Considering this, the current study examined the inundation pattern of pre-monsoon and monsoon floods in five valley districts of Manipur using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data of Sentinel-1 satellite. SAR images of April (premonsoon) and July (monsoon), and a pre-flood image (March) of the year 2017 were employed for the analysis. The results indicate that the extent of inundation during monsoon flood (20222 ha) was about four times larger than the pre-monsoon flood (4297 ha). Imphal West and Thoubal districts witnessed largest area under inundation during pre-monsoon and monsoon flood respectively. And moving from premonsoon to monsoon, Kaching, Thoubal Imphal East, and Bisnupur experienced the largest percentage climb in inundation area while it only changed slightly in Imphal West. This suggest that spatial pattern of flooding exhibited significant variations among the districts between the floods. Therefore, to be more effective in future, flood management strategies need inputs from flood mapping studies performed using space-based SAR data.
