Published: March 2022

Metode finite difference eksplisit adalah metode yang mudah diprogram dibandingkan metode finite difference implicit atau metode-metode numerik lainnya. Selain itu, metode eksplisit itu dapat digunakan untuk menyelesaikan persamaan panas “Heat Equation” linear dalam dua dimensi. Akan tetapi, metode eksplisit itu mempunyai sebuah kekurangan yaitu keterbatasan stabilitas dari penyelesaian numerik adalah sangat ketat. Oleh sebab itu, metode eksplisit itu tidak lagi termasuk daftar metode-metode numerik yang handal yang dapat digunakan untuk menyelesaikan persamaan-persamaan diferensial parsial. Oleh karena itu, maka diusulkan untuk menggunakan analisis wavelet Haar di dalam skema numerik dari metode eksiplisit untuk mengatasi kekurangan metode itu, yaitu keterbatasan stabilitas, dengan menjaga diskretisasi dari metode eksplisit agar tidak berubah. Kekurangan dari metode finite difference eksiplisit itu sudah dapat diatasi secara signifikan oleh analisis Haar wavelet yang tidak mempengaruhi logika metode asli yatiu metode eksiplisit.
Analisis Parameter Kecepatan Teoritik Dan Nilai Beda Fase Gelombang Rayleigh Lapisan Aspal Perkerasan Jalan Berdasarkan Teori Perambatan Gelombang Pada Media Yang Homogen Dan Isotropik
Authors: Rosyidi Sri Atmaja P
Published: March 2022

The Rayleigh wave is one of seismic waves which generated from the natural and artificial mechanical source in the earth or place on the subsurface, such as landslide, earthquake, explosion, traffic vibration, machine works, etc.  The Rayleigh wave in a possible stratified of homogeneous media is a linear combination of Primary (P) and Vertically Shear (SV) waves, which satisfied the equations of elasticity with zero body forces and zero traction on the boundary of a half-space media.  In the case of a homogeneous isotropic half-space there is a unique mode of the Rayleigh waves which propagates without being sustained by any sources or external loads.  Almost 70 % of wave energy generated from the mechanical sources is the Rayleigh wave energy.  Therefore, it is a potential characteristic of Rayleigh wave that is able to be used in engineering purposes.  One of them is a spectrum analysis that is applied in transportation engineering in order to control the quality of asphaltic material.  The aim of this paper is to predict the Rayleigh wave velocity parameters and phase different value of asphaltic layer based on a fundamental theory of Rayleigh wave propagation in a homogeneous isotopic. The results have been shown that the phase different value in homogenous isotropic media is strongly influenced by field spacing of wave measurement.  The Rayleigh wave velocity parameters were easier obtained using the simple equation considering to various Poisson value.

Published: March 2022

Polarization has a significant impact on chemical reactions, as demonstrated by recent research of photo-/electrocatalytic water splitting, electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, water treatment, dye degradation and so on. This review summarizes the fundamental influence of polarization on the physical/chemical properties of catalysts and discusses polarization-dependent catalytic processes. Based on the research progress of polarization-modulated chemical reactions, we draw the conclusion that the control of polarization can be used to adjust the reactivity and selectivity of various catalytic reactions by tuning the miscellaneous fundamental properties of polarized catalysts. At the end of the review, the future research challenges are also discussed, including the ultrafast reversal of polarization, the magnetic-field control of chemical reactions through the magnetoelectric effect and in-plane polarization.
Effect of diet on pathogen performance in the microbiome
Authors: Strain Ronan , Stanton Catherine , Ross R. Paul
Published: March 2022

Intricate interactions among commensal bacteria, dietary substrates and immune responses are central to defining microbiome community composition, which plays a key role in preventing enteric pathogen infection, a dynamic phenomenon referred to as colonisation resistance. However, the impact of diet on sculpting microbiota membership, and ultimately colonisation resistance has been overlooked. Furthermore, pathogens have evolved strategies to evade colonisation resistance and outcompete commensal microbiota by using unique nutrient utilisation pathways, by exploiting microbial metabolites as nutrient sources or by environmental cues to induce virulence gene expression. In this review, we will discuss the interplay between diet, microbiota and their associated metabolites, and how these can contribute to or preclude pathogen survival.

Published: March 2022

This research has accomplished an enlightenment on “Employment Pattern of Landless Labour in baraut block of Baghpat district (UP)” by conducting a survey on selected study area based on family size, education status, employment pattern and employment generation. This survey screened out that the majority of landless labours in study area are not aware with the maximum government schemes. They are unupdated and following the same old pattern in their employment and family too. They are not trying to upgrade themselves and taking advantages of government schemes in agricultural sector’s employment. They are more attracted towards non-agricultural employment sectors comparing to agricultural sector jobs because it is easily available on lower pay scale. As they are not upgrading themselves which resulted improper or irregular employment in their basic sectors. Findings showed that those landless labours need to be aware with the upgraded government schemes made for agricultural labours as much as possible by which they will get able to find more ideas of employment in the sector of agriculture. By taking these steps they would be able to take advantages by upgrading their lives and improving agricultural sectors in our country too.

Authors: Mohapatra Smruti Smita , Mukherjee Joydip , Bhartii Mukesh Kumar , Kumar Manish , Parkunan Thulasiraman
Published: March 2022

Livestock production and health are significantly affected by climate change which has direct and indirect impacts on the productivity of the animals. Disturbances in ecosystem occur due to global climate change and that affects animal production system and also allows the prevalence of many animal diseases since they are interrelated to each other. Livestock production has widely contributed to increasing global emission of greenhouse gases through rumen fermentation which makes livestock activity the main promoter of climate change. Global climate change has deleterious effects on animal health, reproduction, mortality, and production. Such impact can be reduced by modifying livestock diets through alterations in forage-concentrate ratios, supplementation of feed additives, shelter management, and prevention of disease outbreaks. This review focuses on the mitigation strategies necessary to be implemented in the animal agriculture sector addressing animal welfare overall.

Published: March 2022

Predicting attainable yield under water limiting condition is an important goal in rainfed agriculture. Proper irrigation planning is not only essential for water saving but also for yield enhancement and it is only possible when an accurate and reliable decision-making tool has been adopted. AquaCrop is one of the models extensively used for irrigation planning purposes. To evaluate the performance of the model, the present experiment entitled on “Assessment of AquaCrop model for irrigated cotton under deficit irrigation in semi-arid tropics of Maharashtra’’ was carried out at Department of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, CAET, Parbhani. The experiment was conducted in such a way that AquaCrop model was calibrated for the year 2009-2010 and it was validated for the year 2010-2011. Part of the obtained field data i.e. data for full irrigation treatment (100% ETc) for the year 2009-2010 was used for calibration of the model, while the data of 2010-2011 was used to validate the model. AquaCrop version 6.1 was used in the study. There was a close match between observed and simulated canopy cover. It was supported by high value of R2NS (0.97). Another statistical parameter CRM having value of -0.045, indicates that the model overestimates the canopy cover. The high value of Nash Sutcliffe coefficient (R2NS) value as 0.81 shows close match between observed and simulated yield. The CRM (Coefficient of Residual Mass) between observed and simulated yield was also as low as -0.060, indicating that the model overestimated the yield. Considering overall acceptability of validation results, it was concluded that the model performs well with relatively high validity.

Role of Carotenoids in Ornamental Fish Culture: A Review
Authors: Monica S. , Swamy Jayshree Mahadev
Published: March 2022

One of the most frequent forms of natural pigments, carotenoids, may affect the colour of living creatures. There are around 750 different types of carotenoids. Carotenoids are found in modest amounts in most species. However, it is predicted that there are more than 100 million tonnes of carotenoids in nature. Carotenoids are responsible for the colour of ornamental fish's skin and the pigmentation of their muscles. Fish, like all other animals, are unable to de novo synthesis of carotenoids and must rely on their diet for carotenoids. Successful ornamental fish cultivation in a limited area relies heavily on properly prepared feed. The goal of this review study is to stress the relevance of carotenoids in ornamental fish keeping.

Published: March 2022

In a long-term commercial pineapple farm (Ananas comosus cv MD-2) with more than 10 planting cycles, the root content and nematode population dynamics was determined on the crop. In the plant crop, 10 terraces with 16 beds were selected, each with plants of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 13 (at fruit harvest) months after planting for root sampling on both Inceptisol and Ultisol soils. In areas of first ratoon crop, 10 terraces also with 16 beds with 4 and 8 months after selection of the sucker and 10 terraces at fruit harvest, were sampled on both Inceptisol, and Ultisol soils. In each terrace, a composited root sample was taken from roots of 5 plants distributed diagonally along the terrace in beds:4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 (one plant per sampled bed). Plants were extracted in each of the 10 terraces and each growing age with a shovel, all the roots were cut off and collected, placed in identified plastic bags, and sent in coolers to the CORBANA nematology laboratory for nematode extraction. The results revealed an increase in root weight up to 180 (Inceptisol) and 120 (Ultisol) days after planting. Then there was a slight decrease that was aggravated at fruit harvest of the plant crop, which was extended until the first ratoon, with differences (P< 0.0001) between crop ages in both soils. The nematode frequency was 78% in the Inceptisol, and 96% in the Ultisol soil. In both soils, the predominant nematode was Pratylenchus spp. with more than 91% of the total nematode population, and the rest was Helicotylenchus. An increase in the population of Helicotylenchus spp. (P< 0.0001), Pratylenchus spp. (P< 0.0001) and total nematodes (P< 0.0001) was observed with the age of the crop until 8 months of sowing, in both soils. According to the nematode thresholds established for the crop, the populations found deserve control to prevent losses in production.

This present study for the first time reports a facile and ecofriendly route for synthesis of Silver nanoparticles by using the extract of berries of Pimenta dioica. Extract of berries was used for reduction of silver nitrate into silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Silver nanoparticles have unique phytochemical properties and activities compared to their whole parent material. Due to multiple applications of Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) various biological methods are gaining recognition for their production. The silver nanoparticles were irregular spherical in shape. In the reaction mixture brown color appeared which confirmed the primary indication of Ag NPs formation and it was confirmed by using UV-visible spectroscopy which shows maximum peak intensity at 425 nm. Sample was characterized by using UV-viz Spectrophotometer, SEM, and TEM. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were spherical in clusters. Crystalline size calculated was found to be 40 nm; and TEM shows that synthesized nanoparticles having size of 94±29 nm. The Ag NPs were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity on Gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria by qualitative methods and it was confirmed.

Published: March 2022

In the present investigation, phenotypic and genotypic correlation coefficients were estimated among 19 characters of 51 maize genotypes, to find out the association between grain yield and its contributing characters. Grain yield per plant significantly and positively correlated with plant height, ear height, number of kernels per row, number of kernels per ear, shelling percentage and test weight at genotypic and phenotypic basis. Observable correlations among different traits was confirmed through phenotypic correlation, actual correlation could be known through genotypic correlation only, which eliminates environmental influence. Genotypic correlation permits prediction of correlated response and evaluation of relative influence of one character on other. Genotypic correlation in particular is helpful in construction of selection indices.

Competency based medical education (CBME) is skill and outcome based teaching methodology where a student learns a set of measurable competencies for early clinical exposure. There is an increasing interest in competency based medical education (CBME) due to the developments and changes in medical education and many medical schools have begun to apply it recently. The present study was conducted to compare the performance of students’ following traditional interactive lecture classes and small group discussions learning sessions. Multiple studies on medical education need to be conducted to make implementation of this new curriculum a success. The present study was conducted in a Basaveshwara Medical College of Chitradurga in the Department of physiology to compare the performance of students’ following traditional interactive lecture classes and small group discussions learning sessions. Ten SGD classes and ten interactive lecture classes was included in this study. The project was conducted in time span of 2months first September 2021 to 30 October 2021. For both lectures and SGD sessions seven days ahead of the commencing of classes the students were provided with all study material (competencies, objectives, power point presentations, learning methods, references to be used) in an email address created for the total batch of students, but only 10 student representatives were included in the group and they shared all information with rest of the class. Horizontal integration with other departments was done as far as possible as per new directives in the medical curriculum of National medical council. There was no difference in performance between interactive lecture classes and SGD sessions in Pre-test sessions (42.07±20.23 vs.44.03±09.05). Students performed better in post-test sessions (50.39 ± 19.41 vs. 63.38 ± 12.79; p value < 0.001) as compared to pre-test sessions in interactive lecture classes. Students also performed better in post-test sessions (55.09±23.5 vs.58.29±22.15; p value < 0.001) as compared to pre-test sessions in SGD sessions. Performances of students were better in SGD sessions as compared to interactive lecture classes in post-test assessment. Small group discussion sessions were more effective than interactive lecture classes for teaching Physiology to undergraduate medical students and for implementation of competency based medical education (CBME). Successful implementation of SGD sessions requires a greater number of teachers as compared to interactive lecture sessions.

Published: March 2022

Trichoderma spp. are the most commonly used and widely applied biocontrol agents which is known for its antagonistic activities against plant pathogens especially soil borne pathogens such as Fusarium spp. (Fusarium wilt), Rhizoctonia, Pythium (Damping off), Sclerotium rolfsii (Sclerotinia rot), etc. Trichoderma exhibit diverse array of activities viz. plant growth promotion, biofertilizer, bioagents through the production of different biocontrol mechanisms (enzymes) such as chitinase, protease, glucanase, etc. Their mode of action is either by parasitizing the plant pathogens, secreting antibiotics or by competing for space and nutrients. Nutrient uptake is also enhanced as it regulates the root architecture promoting better root growth. Recently studies have found that it can also be utilized for bioremediation which will play a pivotal role in rejuvenating the environment from toxic substances. Heavy metal contaminants like Ni, Cd, Zn, Pb, As has been tolerated and accumulated by Trichoderma sp. Decomposition rate was fastened when Trichoderma was inoculated in agricultural waste substrate. It can detoxify toxic pesticides and fungicides which will be of great help in solving the environment pollutants besides increasing the soil fertility. Its role as biocontrol and as bioremediation can be of great advantage to the agriculture sector in solving disease problems and providing safe environment.

MASSIFICATION AND INTERNETILIZATION: two sides of the same coin in the process of alienation by the media
Authors: Dugnani Patricio
Published: March 2022

It is intended to observe how technological changes have promoted changes in society, however it seems that one thing remains the same: the use of the media as a technology of alienation. This observation will be carried out methodologically through a theoretical and exploratory research, seeking a review of concepts that refer to the uses and effects of the media. In this sense, the hypothesis is that the idea that in the sense of alienating use of means there have been no major changes. The means, by extending human perception, seem not to have produced an effect of liberating consciousness, but rather, it has expanded the process of mystification and alienation, through the massification of information, creating an internetilization, a massification through digital media.
