Authors:   South Agricultural Research Institute, Hawassa Research Center, P. O. Box 1226, Hawassa, Ethiopia., Mekonnen Bililign
Published: February 2022

Orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is a bio-fortified crop that is a rich source of beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A) which is necessary for combating the problems related to vitamin A deficiency (VAD). There is an increasing demand by farmers for production and consumption of improved OFSP varieties in the study areas. In order to respond to farmer requests, participatory variety selection trial was conducted with the objective of selecting superior OFSP varieties with farmer’s preferred traits. The trial was conducted during 2019 and 2020 growing seasons across three sites in Gedeb district of Gedeo Zone. Six varieties, including one old OFSP variety as a check were tested in a mother trial using each site as a single replication. For a baby trial, one new and one old variety was given to more than 30 model farmers around each site. Data were collected on agronomic traits such as root yield, above ground biomass, harvest index and sweet potato virus disease from the mother trial and analysis of variance was conducted. The combined analysis showed the presence of significant differences (p≤0.05) among tested genotypes for observed traits. The highest root yield was recorded for Dilla (23.11 t/ha), followed by Alamura (22.57 t/ha), Kabode (18.66 t/ha) and NASPOT-13 which produced the lowest root yield of 12.10 t/ha as compared to the others. Demonstrations of various sweet potato based foods were also made and 18 farmers (13 male and 5 female) were invited for variety assessment and selection based on the recipes. These farmers set sensorial attributes like flavor, taste, texture, and hardness of the cooked roots for taste-tests. Considering overall ranking of the six parameters (taste-tests) and agronomic traits such as root yield, above ground biomass, resistance to virus disease, varieties Dilla, Alamura, and Kabode were selected as the 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices, respectively. Therefore, scaling up of these OFSP varieties should be done in the study area and areas with similar agroecologies in order to alleviate the problems related with VAD.

Angular leaf spot (ALS) and Anthracnose (ANT) are important diseases of common bean in Ethiopia. This study was conducted to pyramid resistant genes for ALS and ANT diseases into advanced line and to evaluate isolines against ALS and ANT using marker assisted selection in combination with phenotypic selection. The parent AND277 donor of Phg-1 and Co-14 genes for ALS and ANT respectively and the recipient KT-ABC001 line was used for this experiment. In genotypic selection, SSR and SCAR marker were used. Marker assisted backcrossing procedure was adopted and inheritances for resistant genes were characterized by using F2 and backcrosses. The Chi-square values showed no significant differences for ALS and ANT, 0.05 (p<0.78) and 0.03 (p<0.9) in genotypic and phenotypic selection respectively. The narrow sense heritability for ALS and ANT were 0.97 and 0.95 implying that selection for ALS and ANT can be done at early stage in a segregating population. Correlation values for ALS (r = -0.65) and for ANT (r = -0.73) were obtained between phenotypic and molecular data respectively. Eight gene pyramid groups were developed and evaluated against ALS and ANT. The gene pyramid group means were significantly different from each other (p<0.01) of which, Phg1+phg2+co14+cbb qtl and Phg-1+co-14+cbb QTL exhibited the lowest mean disease score to the three pathogens indicating both a high degree and a broad spectrum of resistance. The study identified three isolines with all four desirable genes. In general, pyramiding multiple genes for durable resistance using MAS in combination with phenotypic selection is invaluable for breeding program.

A field experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of Enugu state polytechnic, Iwollo, Southeastern Nigeria in 2020 to evaluate the profitability of the use of poultry manure for cucumber production in the area. The study was carried out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The treatment comprised different rates of poultry manure viz; 0 (control), 5, 10, 15 and 20 t ha-1. The growth and yield parameters investigated were vine length, number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, leaf area index, number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant and fruit yield per hectare. The data collected on growth and yield parameters were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and treatment means were separated using Fisher's least significant difference (F-LSD) at 5% level of probability. Gross margin (GM) as well Return on Investment (RoI) was calculated to determine the profitability. The results showed that poultry manure significantly (p<0.05) induced higher vine length, number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, leave area index, number of fruits per plant, fruit yield per plant and fruit yield per hectare compared to control (0 t/ha) with optimum values obtained in 20 t ha-1. The profitability of the use of poultry manure increased with increase in the rate of poultry manure. The highest gross margin (N 3,233,860) was obtained from 20 t ha-1 of poultry manure followed by 15 t ha-1 (N 2,021,020), 10 t ha-1 (N 1,381,748), 5 t ha-1 (N 588,300) and 0 t ha-1(N14,660). Similarly, the highest RoI was obtained in 20 t ha-1 of poultry manure (325.95%) followed by 15 t ha-1 (237.49%); 10 t ha-1 (185%); 5 t ha-1 (93%) and the lowest was in 0 t ha-1 (2.76%). It could be concluded from the study that the use of poultry manure for cucumber production in Iwollo is profitable and most profitable when 20 t ha-1 is used.

Authors: Kshitija Kasturi , Nagpal Ruchi , Saitha Seethamsetty , Sreedhar V.Vijay
Published: February 2022

Background: Cystic lesions of the scalp with a clinical diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst are encountered in clinical practice. However, these lesions had a different diagnostic interpretation on histopathology examination. Therefore our study focused on the lesions clinically resembling the presentation of epidermoid cyst in the scalp region.
Materials and Methods: Forty-one cases of scalp lesions with a clinical diagnosis of epidermoid cyst over 2 years were reviewed. Details of the patients such as clinical diagnosis, age, gender, duration, gross findings, and histopathology diagnosis were obtained from the medical and histopathology records.
Results: Epidermoid cysts diagnosed both clinically and on histopathology examination accounted for 29.26% whereas the clinical mimickers constituted 70.73%. The mean age of the patient was 35-years with an equal sex ratio. The commonest location was the parietal region (41.37%). Benign and malignant lesions consisted of 97.56% and 2.4% respectively. A trichilemmal cyst was the most common clinical mimicker diagnosed.
Conclusions: Clinicians should be aware of wide differential diagnosis of epidermoid cyst in the scalp region as the management and outcome vary with each lesion. Histopathology examination proved to be a diagnostic tool in differentiating these lesions.
Do platelet indices play a role in assessing severity of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia?
Authors: Singhal Priyamvada , Agarwal Vishal , Ingole Narayan S , Gangane Nitin
Published: February 2022

Background: Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia is a multisystem disorder affecting approximately 2-7% of all pregnancies and is a significant cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Many hemostatic abnormalities have been reported in association with hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. We conducted this prospective case-control study to assess and analyze the platelet parameters in 3rd-trimester normotensives, pre-eclamptic, and eclamptic pregnant women.
Materials and methods: This study was conducted in the hematology division of the Department of Pathology, in a rural population-based medical institute over 2 years. In all subjects (cases and controls) 2 ml of blood sample was collected in EDTA vials for platelet counts and platelet indices. The blood samples were run on an automated blood cell counter (Beckman coulter) within 2 hours of collection. The data obtained were tabulated and statistical analyses were performed.
Results: The mean platelet count was significantly decreased in cases as compared to controls with increased frequency of thrombocytopenia associated with progression of the disease. Platelet indices, mean platelet volume, and platelet distribution width were increased, whereas the plateletcrit was decreased in cases as compared to the controls. However, the statistically significant difference was found only in platelet distribution width and plateletcrit.
Conclusions: We concluded that platelet indices like platelet distribution width and plateletcrit can be useful along with platelet count in early detection of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia instead of relying on platelet count alone.
Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in colorectal carcinoma
Authors: Karki Shovana , Pariyar Sanjib
Published: February 2022

Background: Immunotherapy has become an important modality of treatment for CRC. The cells contributing to an effective immune response are CD8+ T cells of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. The present study aimed to assess the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes on colorectal cancer and correlate them with other prognostic parameters.
Material and methods: Cases of colectomy from April 2019 -Sept 2020 with a diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma were included in the study. Parameters i.e age, sex, size, location of the tumor, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, T stage, N status, histological tumor type, and grade, resected margins were retrieved from the database of the department. The intensity of overall inflammatory cell reaction at the invasive tumor front was evaluated in H and E stained sections.
Results: 56 cases of colorectal cancers were reported during the study period with M: F ratio of 1.15:1. The age ranged from 23-79years with a mean age of 54.3years. The tumors were predominant in the colon (50 cases) than the rectum. Colonic carcinomas had high-grade tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as compared to rectal carcinomas. The grade of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was statistically significantly associated with T, N status, and grade of tumors.
Conclusions: Inflammatory reactions at the invasive tumor front can be easily analyzed in resection specimens of colorectal cancers without additional costs. Low-grade tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes are indicative of high-stage tumors with a poor prognosis. Hence, the inclusion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in pathological reports for risk stratification of the patient is mandatory.

Published: February 2022

The main concern of this study was to investigate the effects of integrated reading and writing skills instruction on EFL learners' critical thinking skills achievement at Bahir Dar University. At this point, a quasi-experimental research design was employed, and 96 English majoring students as experimental (n = 48) and control (n = 48) groups participated in the study with a random assignment. Herein, the experimental group was instructed through integrated reading and writing skills instruction and the control group with the conventional method for consecutive 12 weeks, and then, 25 (twenty-five) pre and post-tests of critical thinking questions were employed to assess students’ achievement. Data were collected through tests, and then the Kappa inter-rater reliability and split-half tests were employed to compute the reliability and internal consistency of both tests respectively. Finally, the data were analyzed using an independent t-test, and then the result of the pre-test revealed that both experimental and control groups were homogenous in critical thinking skills’ achievement. However, after the treatment, the post-test results depicted that the experimental group significantly outscored the control group. In a nutshell, the study showed the supremacy of integrated reading and writing skills instruction over the conventional approach in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills achievement.

Published: February 2022

Teachers who experience high wellbeing in their workplace teach more effectively, have better relationships with learners, and high attainment among their learners (Mason, 2017). To understand what contributes to language teacher wellbeing, we examined the three pillars of positive psychology (Seligman, 2011) and drew in particular on work in Positive Organizational Scholarship (Cameron & Spreitzer, 2012) to explore institutional and personal factors which teachers perceived as influential for their wellbeing. The paper reports on insights from 15 language teachers in 13 different countries. This sampling technique ensured a diverse set of perspectives on this topic. Data were gathered through in-depth, semi-structured interviews which were analyzed using Thematic Analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). The analysis revealed five main themes the teachers perceived as relevant for their wellbeing including workplace culture, social relationships, sense of meaning and purpose, language teacher status, and physical wellbeing. The findings highlight that wellbeing is not just a personal and subjective phenomenon, but it is also collectively and socially determined. The study concludes with a reflection on implications for practice, policy makers, and school leaders as well as a consideration of issues of individuality to address in future research.
A Corpus-based Analysis of High School English Textbooks and English University Entrance Exams in Turkey
Authors: Gedik Tan Arda , Kolsal Yağmur Su
Published: February 2022

This study aims to explore the missing link between English textbooks used in high schools (9th-12th grades) and English university entrance exams (2010-2019) in Turkey on lexical and syntactic complexity levels by using corpus linguistics tools: AntWordProfiler, TAALED, and the L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer (L2SCA). Official textbooks and complementary materials obtained from the Ministry of National Education have been compared against the official university entrance exams from the past decade. The results show that: (i) differences in lexical sophistication level can be observed between the two corpora, the lexical sophistication level of the exam corpus was higher than that of the textbook corpus, (ii) there is a statistically significant difference between the two corpora in terms of lexical diversity, the exam corpus has a significantly higher level of lexical diversity than the textbook corpus, (iii) statistically significant differences also existed between the two corpora regarding the syntactic complexity indices. The syntactic complexity level of the exam corpus was higher than that of the textbook corpus. The findings suggest that Turkish high school students who have to learn English with the official textbooks throughout their high school years will have to tackle low-frequency and more sophisticated words at a higher level of  syntactic complexity at the time of taking the nationwide exam. This, in return, creates a negative backwash effect, distorts their approach to L2, and raises other concerns about the misalignment between the official language education materials and nationwide exams.

Authors: Ibrahim Ibrahim
Published: February 2022

The present paper, therefore, aims to develop deeper students’ understanding and perception regarding the use of mobile assisted language learning in the learning process. All schools and universities should eliminate offline learning and switch to online education. When this is enforced, not a few students find it difficult to access online learning. Some students may have privileges in the form of computers and internet access. This one can easily follow the learning delivered through online media used by the school/Learning management system.This study adopted qualitative research design where case study is used. In this study, the research participants are five students taken from university students who are currently taking English education. To hinder the ethical issues during the data collection and also the research process, the anonymity of the participants is implemented. The research participants also filled out the informed research consent form in order to share the agreement to be part of this study. There are some benefits gaining from implementing MALL such as learning flexibility and easiness. Students are not limited by the place and time to start studying and access some English sources. However, the comprehension supports for students from surrounding in mastering the technology use will enhance the learning process.
Embedded Mental States, Literariness, and the Mutual Cross-Disciplinary Benefits of Cognitive-Literary Analysis
Authors: William Jennifer Marston
Published: February 2022

This article begins by reviewing the related cognitive-scientific concepts of theory of mind (ToM), embedded mental states, intentionality, and recursive mindreading. The mental processes involved in discerning others’ unstated thoughts and beliefs are essential not only to interacting with other humans in most situations but also to reading and understanding narratives. Literature models real-life situations and prompts us to practise our mindreading skills, generally with no social consequences. Through its simulation properties, literature also facilitates the scientific study of cognitive processes that are difficult to examine in real-life situations. An investigation into the creative use of embedded mental states by two prominent East German writers, Wolfgang Hilbig and Christa Wolf, illustrates both how cognitive studies can support literary analyses and how those analyses can, in turn, further the scientific understanding of the human brain’s processing of intentionality and the mental states of others.
Understanding Irony in Literary Texts: A Cognitive Approach
Authors: Richter Sandra , Leuthold Hartmut
Published: February 2022

Cognitive approaches are particularly appealing when it comes to phenomena that can be adequately described only when their mental processing is taken into account. The phenomenon of irony is one of them. While there has been a plethora of semantic and structural analytic approaches in literary studies and linguistics that have focused on irony, the question is to what extent irony is already inherent in the texts themselves, to what extent it is only recognizable from contexts, and whether we recognize irony as such equally at all.

In this article, we combine approaches from literary studies, cognitive psychology, and psycholinguistics in a corpus-based study. We ask whether irony is recognizable from certain textual features, such as genre or style. To determine this, we undertook a questionnaire study that indeed supports the conclusion that it is. It is the goal of the article to stimulate further contributions of this kind in order to explore the potential of a cognitive approach for the processing of irony in literary texts, providing a sound basis for future neuro-aesthetic investigations.
“A podcast would be fun!”: The fetishization of digital writing projects
Authors: Hotson Brian , Bell Stephanie
Published: February 2022

While digital writing projects (DWPs) like podcasts, videos, and infographics are rigorous sites of scholarly knowledge production, the growth in their popularity as classroom assignments often has more to do with a sense that these are “fun” assignments. Horner, Selfe, and Lockridge (2015) describe such dismissive attitudes using the term fetishization. When DWPs are fetishized by students and faculty, they are celebrated while being dismissed as pedestrian fads. Ultimately, fetishization decreases the amount of support offered by faculty, the effort invested by students, as well as the demand (and budget) for learning service support. This means that disparities between students (including access to technologies, digital literacies, and “normative” abilities) are exaggerated. In this paper, we illuminate four interconnected drivers of fetishization that obscure the realities of DWPs—the myth of digital natives, assumptions about tool-content division, faith in digital tool neutrality, and idealizations of the web. Like all teaching approaches, thoughtful instructional design and learning supports are required for DWPs to create effective, equitable, safe, inclusive, and accessible learning opportunities. This paper enhances writing instructors’ and tutors’ ability to challenge fetishized perspectives of DWPs in their work with faculty and students alike.

Published: February 2022

Energy saving involves the development of systems for forecasting the use and accounting of energy costs. The analysis of the forecasting system for the use of natural energy in the conditions of total energy saving is carried out. The peculiarities of the use of energy in the thermal power plant during the year are identified and analyzed. The choice and forecasting of the forecasting function on which it is best to make a forecast of energy consumption for the coming year is proposed and substantiated. The structure and current costs of natural gas at TPPs for energy costs are described. As a result of the research, the substantiation of the concept of calculation of the forecasting function for the accounting of the costs of non-renewable energy resources at thermal power plants and enterprises using natural gas was proposed. This, in turn, provides for effective planning and enhancement of the economic efficiency of the enterprise. All this allows to regulate the modes and costs of fuel use during the operation of the power plant with limited volumes of natural gas. The frequency of consumption is due to seasonal heating costs, so the periodic forecasting function makes it possible to obtain a more accurate forecast than the linear prediction function. The scientific novelty of the research is to formulate the substantiation of the conceptual principles of building a mathematical model of energy use and accounting on the basis of the use of four forecasting functions and to provide recommendations on how to rationally use non-renewable natural resources. the resources available and the typical features of the automation facility. The practical significance of the work is to forecast and calculate the volume of natural gas consumption (thousand m3) by the enterprise for the next year, which in turn allows you to adjust gas costs for the future and make sound decisions as. it is possible to reduce fuel consumption or use it as efficiently as possible. The standard deviation that characterizes the forecast error is 11.55 thousand m3 . Within 95 months out of 100, the expected fluctuations of natural gas consumption relative to the values determined by the periodically predictive function are 524.4 thousand m3 . The estimated value of annual consumption of natural gas is 11868,58 thousand m3

Game is a form of organization of student life, in which the teacher can, using various methods, to form oral skills, the features of which are: initiative, contact, spontaneity, emotional coloring. Role-playing games in foreign language lessons should be organized by the teacher in advance, using additional materials, supports and visual aids. The place of role play depends on the degree of readiness of the class for it, taking into account the real capabilities of each student. Communicative and cognitive activities in the classroom are designed to ensure the integrity of the language learning process through the use of role-playing games and it allows students to fully immerse themselves in a foreign language culture through the roles offered to students within a particular topic. The experience of playing games at school has established that students have experience of playing games, they are active, inquisitive and ready to prepare for the game without the help of a teacher. The use of role-playing games in foreign language lessons provides an opportunity to increase interest in a foreign language, creates a positive attitude to its study, stimulates independent thinking, and most importantly, role-playing games affect language development and affect the development of speaking, reading, listening and writing skills. at the senior stage of training. Role-playing games promote the activation of communicative and cognitive activities, thus ensuring a continuous process of learning a foreign language through work with dictionaries, additional literature sources, the use of interdisciplinary links. There are many types of games, including role-playing. Role-playing is an important component of foreign language learning: role-playing performs many of the functions necessary for successful learning. The game situation in the lesson provides immersion in the research topic, removes the language barrier, creates a favorable psychological atmosphere. Role play should be conducted under the strict control of the teacher and planned in advance, ensuring the integrity of the learning process. Role-playing games can not do without props or communication situations. Roles between students should be distributed according to students' abilities and the level of language proficiency.

Published: February 2022

The scientific research aims to establish the effect of modern insectofungicides Prestige and Respect on the development of potato rhizoctoniosis in agroecosystem crops in the region. The authors evaluated the effectiveness of the preparations under the conditions of production planting of potatoes in JSC “Sea Fields” during the period from 2015 to 2020. Under farm conditions, seed tubers are heavily (on average 38.5%) infested with sclerotia of the fungus R. Solani. Such requirements ensure that the pathogen is transmitted with the planting material yearly. During the study, the authors found that seed dressing reduced the infestation of tubers with the sclerotia form of the rhizoctoniosis pathogen by a factor of 4, thereby ensuring the interruption of the epiphytotic process. Insectofungicides protected potato seedlings already in the early plant growth and development stages. Insectofungicides reduced the number of dead potato seedlings in the field from 8.5% to 0.13%. Rhizoctoniosis in this farm developed on stalks in the form of an epiphytosis. Without seed tubers dressing, the prevalence of rhizoctoniosis was 72% to 88%. And the development of rhizoctoniosis disease was 27.1%, reaching almost 40% in some years. With the application of dressing, the growth of rhizoctoniosis on the stolons decreased by three times and did not exceed 8.8%. The number of damaged stolons was reduced by 2.2 times, and fallen stolons by 2.3 times. Introduction in the technology of growing potatoes dressing of seed tubers by insectofungicides allowed to reduce the total score of plants affected by rhizoctoniosis by 6.8 times. At the same time, the protective effect of insectofungicides Respect and Prestige was identical. The biological efficacy of insectofungicides ranged from 54.9% to 98.8%, while the economic efficiency was 17.7% to 24.2%.

The studies were conducted at the experimental plot of the Borsky educational and experimental-production complex of the Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University (in 2018-2019). The weather conditions of the observation period differed from multi-year data. In 2018, acutely dry conditions were recorded against elevated temperatures from May to August. In 2019, the authors observed a highly uneven rainfall distribution during the growing season. Lack of moisture was noted in May and July 2019; temperatures exceeded the climatic norm all season. A comparative evaluation of the following F1 rapeseed hybrids is presented: Salsa KL, Cultus KL, Currie KL and Lumen. The results of the two-year research showed that the best preservation of plants for harvesting was observed for hybrid Lumen 93.2%, the lowest indicator for F1 Salsa KL was 78.1% of plants preserved. The ability to produce fruit is higher in the Salsa CL hybrid, with an average of 202 pods per plant over two years of observation. The other hybrids had fewer generative pods, ranging from 139 pods in the Currie KL hybrid to 149 in the Lumen hybrid. The highest fruit number was observed for the Currie CL hybrid (31-32 seeds per pod) in each year of the study (the threshold value for spring rapeseed is 40 seeds). Less than in other hybrids, the Lumen hybrid had 22-24 origins in a pod. The authors revealed that the number of seeds in the pod is influenced more by the combination’s genotype than by the pollination period’s weather conditions. The weight of 1000 seeds in spring rape, depending on the hybrid’s biological characteristics and the growing season’s weather conditions, can be 3-5 grams. The complete grains were formed in hybrid Lumen on average for two years of observation weight of 1000 grains was 3.9 g, the smallest seeds in hybrid Kultus KL 3.2 g. All the studied hybrids of spring rape are highly productive. F1 Currie KL was the most effective in oilseed yield, averaging 7.22 t/ha over the study period.
