Published: November 2023

Global reconstructions of Pliocene climate provide important insights into how the climate system operates under elevated temperatures and atmospheric CO2 levels. These reconstructions have been used extensively in paleoclimate modeling experiments for comparison to simulated conditions, and as boundary conditions. Most previous work focused on the Late Pliocene interval known as the mid Piacenzian Warm Period (mPWP), the interval originally identified by the U.S. Geological Survey Pliocene Research, Interpretation and Synoptic Mapping Project (PRISM) as the PRISM interval or Mid Pliocene Warm Period. The term Mid Pliocene Warm Period is a misnomer due to changes to the geological time scale, and its use should be discontinued. The Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP), now in its third phase, is expanding to include a focus on the Early Pliocene (Zanclean). PlioMIP3 experiments will allow comparison of environmental and climatic conditions before and after closure of the Central American Seaway (CAS). PlioMIP3 used the annual insolation pattern at the top of the atmosphere to determine time slices in the Zanclean that have orbital configurations that are most similar to modern. Two have been selected by PlioMIP and adopted by PRISM for inclusion in future studies: PRISM5.1 (4.474 Ma) and PRISM5.2 (4.870 Ma). Here we establish the stratigraphic framework for these Early Pliocene time slices and furnish information to help locate these intervals in proxy records of paleoenvironmental data using oxygen isotope stratigraphy, paleomagnetic stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and biochronology (calibrated planktic foraminifer and calcareous nannofossil events).

Published: November 2023

Three species of insects viz., Sticholotis sp.. Chrysopa sp. and Aclctozenus indica Malloch are recorded for the first time to be prodaceous on the white-fly, Siphoninus phillyreae finitimus Goux, of which the Drosophilid fly, A. indica Malloch, was found to be the predominant one. The general population trend of the predators was found to follow a moro or less similar trend to that of the host. Among the weather factors minimum temperature and evening humidity showed a positively significant association with the aleyrodid infestation. Minimum temporature and morning humidity were found to have positive and negative associations respectively with the population of predators at a significant level. Population fluctuations of both the predators and the pest (prey) were found to be more or less interdepen dent. The aleyrodid infestation was decidedly governed by the weather elements morning humidity and evening humidity in addition to the biological factor viz., population of predators.

Investigations were carried out at Coimbatore during 1957-58 to evaluato the efficacy of treating cholam seeds with modern synthetic insecticides as a prophylactic measure against Sitophilus oryzae L. and Tribolium castaneum II., as this would provide a cheap and effective means of storing seed cholam. Two sets of experiments with ten treatments and four replications were conducted seperately for each pest over a period of one year with Co. 18 cholam seeds in a suitably randomised layout. Well cleaned cholam seeds were taken in one lb. lots in oloth bags and treated initially with the insecticide dusts of Aldrin 2%, Dieldrin 1.5% and Geigy-33 containing 10% DDT at dosages varying from 1:100 to 1:300 by weight. Twenty adults cach of S. oryzae and T. castaneum which wore bred in cholam in the laboratory were introduced per bag in each of the experiments at monthly intervals and the mortality counts of the respective insects were recorded every month.
A NEW AND SAFER INSECTICIDE FOR THE CONTROL OF Epilachna vigintioctopunctata F. AND Leucinodes orbonalis G. ON BRINJAL
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, A LEELA DAVID
Published: November 2023

An experiment was conducted on the summer crop of brinjal during 1962, for the control of the leaf beetle, Epilachna vigintioctopunctata F. and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis G. with sprays of thiometon (Ekatin) 0.1%, methyl demeton (Meta Systox) 0.1%, methyl naphthyl carbamate (Sevin) 0.1%, dust of Heptachlor 3% and control. The insecticides were applied three times at intervals of about 2 to 3 weeks. The results were highly significant with Sevin proving the best and methyl demeton and thiometon coming next in the order of efficacy. Sevin also gave significantly the highest yield which was double that of the control. It was neither phytotoxic to the plants nor did it give any off-flavour to the brinjal fruits. Sevin is also stated to have low mammalian toxicity with LD of 540 milligrams per Kilogram body weight in rats and hence can be safely used as an insecticide on this vegetable crop.

A Review on Cotton Improvement through Interspecific Hybridisation
Authors:   Assitant Cotton Srivilliputtur, P.V MARAPPAN
Published: November 2023

The genus Gossypium to which the cultivated cottons belong comprises of twentytwo different species and offers considerable scope for the synthesis and study of interspecific hybrids for crop improvement as the cultivated species viz., G. hirsutum L. and G. barbadense L. in the American group and G. herbaceum L. and G. arboreum L. in the Asiatic group are interfertile within themselves, while the application of polyploidy and backeross techniques has contributed to the exploitation of sterile or partially sterile hybrids also derived from other combinations of interspecific crosses in this genus. There are instances like the development of the American - Egyptian varieties in the U. S. A., and Madras-Cambodia Uganda varieties in Madras resulting from hirsutum-barbadense hybridisation and the release of Indo-American crosses in Bombay which are the results of practical significance in cotton improvement through interspecific hybridisa- tion involving cultivated species. Besides, considerable work has also been initiated in the recent past to transfer desirable attributes from the wild species to the cultivated cottons as several of the former have been found to possess useful and rare genes not available within the cultivated biotypes. The useful results achieved so far and the immense potentialities for transferring known and unexpected desirable characters are briefly reviewed and presented below.

Genesis of Alluvial Soils in Arid and Semi-arid Tracts
Authors:   Officer Agricultural College and Research Institute,Coimbatore 641003, V RAVI KUMAR
Published: November 2023

The genesis of alluvial soils in arid, and semi-arid tracts of West Uttar Pradesh is reported in this paper. The analysis of clay fraction has given a clue that the clay fraction comprises a mixture of clay minerals like hydrous mica (Illite) and montmorillonite. The mineralogical analysis of fine sand fractions indicated that quartz, mien and feldspar wore the commonly occurring minorals in the light fractions and constituted moro than 95 por cent. Heavy minerals like magnetite, rutile, zircon, and apatito are found in traces. The minera- logical analysis of fino sand fractions thus indicated the origin of those alluvial soils from granitie and gneissie rocks and their further trans. port, by the action of water, to the plains. Depending upon the influence of local climatic factors and degree of weathering they have given rise to soils and clays with a mixture of clay minerala.

Published: November 2023

As a result of study on the relationship between grain yield and tiller sequence in ragi, it has been concluded that closer planting gives higher yield in the case of varieties in which the main stem contributes a major share of the total produce per plant. In strain Co. 7, the yield contribution is evenly distributed between the main culm and the productive tillers, hence wider spacing is more economic for this strain.

Published: November 2023

The golden nematode of potatoes (Heterodera rostochiensis) was reported for the first time in India from the Nilgiris (Madras) in 1961 by Jones. Recent surveys conducted in the Nilgiris have shown that infestation is mainly confined to the Ootacamund area. The appearance of this nematode in the Nilgiris constitutes a threat to potato cultivation in that area. Written mainly with the object of focussing public attention on this important problem, the article provides basic information about the nematode and its life history, the symptoms of the disease caused, methods of detecting infestation, methods of spread, alternate hosts and methods of preventing spread. No practical control measure in known against the pest and unless immediate and effective steps are taken to check its spread, potato cultivation in the Nilgiris is bound to become increasingly difficult in the years to come.

BASE INDUSTRIAL DE DEFESA BRASILEIRA NAS DÉCADAS DE 2000 E 2010: CONCEITOS E ANÁLISES
Authors: Ferreira Marcos José Barbieri
Published: November 2023

Este artigo apresenta dois objetivos: discutir o conceito de Base Industrial de Defesa (BID, doravante) e, a partir isso, analisar a evolução e o desempenho da BID brasileira nas décadas de 2000 e 2010. Inicialmente, constata-se que o conceito de BID não é único e pode ser definido a partir de diferentes enfoques e critérios, de acordo com o objetivo a que o trabalho acadêmico ou o documento de política pública se propõe. O presente artigo fundamenta a análise do caso brasileiro na relação de mútua dependência existente entre a demanda dos meios de defesa pelos Estados Nacionais e a oferta desses meios pelas empresas locais. De maneira simplificada, observam-se duas fases bastante distintas na evolução da BID brasileira nestas duas décadas do século XXI. A primeira delas inicia-se em 2004 e é caracterizada por uma trajetória de expansão dos investimentos na área de defesa que aumentou de forma continuada até 2012, acompanhando o boom da economia brasileira. Nesse contexto, deu-se início a amplo conjunto de novos projetos estratégicos que — segundo as diretrizes da Estratégia Nacional de Defesa, apresentada em 2008 — deveriam basear-se em tecnologias de domínio nacional. Como resultado, observou-se a ampliação, a diversificação e a modernização da BID brasileira. Contudo, na segunda fase — a partir de 2013, os investimentos em defesa sofreram significativa e contínua reversão devido à forte retração da economia brasileira. Essa diminuição das aquisições militares, aliada ao abandono da estratégia nacional de desenvolvimento, afetou negativamente a BID brasileira. Como resultado da análise efetivada neste trabalho, constata-se que o crescimento econômico, associado a um projeto de desenvolvimento nacional, foi o determinante da trajetória recente da BID brasileira.

Políticas Públicas, Economia de Defesa e Programas Estratégicos de Defesa: A convergência necessária.
Authors: Rocha Marcio
Published: November 2023

Este estudo tem como objetivo geral analisar a dinâmica presente na relação entre a lógica que orienta as Políticas Públicas, a Economia de Defesa e os Programas Estratégicos de Defesa. O foco central da análise será o de identificar e compreender os pontos convergentes, assim como os divergentes, presentes nas metodologias que orientam essas duas áreas do conhecimento e os resultados práticos obtidos no desenvolvimento de Programas Estratégicos na área da Defesa. Destaca-se que, atualmente, os esforços dos Estados na atualização e no fortalecimento dos sistemas de Defesa são cada vez mais complexos e intensos, principalmente em função das incertezas e imprevisibilidades que caracterizam o atual cenário internacional. Esta é uma área que envolve ações complexas, com longo tempo de maturação e com altos custos, o que demanda elevada racionalidade na alocação dos recursos possíveis e necessários, tendo em vista os resultados pretendidos na capacitação em Defesa e o alcance do objetivo político de projeção de poder almejado. Sendo a Defesa uma responsabilidade do Estado e, portanto, um bem público de interesse da sociedade, e considerando os elevados custos envolvidos e a respectiva competição por recursos com outras áreas também relevantes para a sociedade, a compreensão do processo para o atendimento da demandas de Defesa implica em domínio e controle do processo de elaboração e condução de políticas públicas, dos princípios e da dinâmica presentes na organização da Economia de Defesa, bem como na complexidade, traduzido em organização, financiamento, integração e implementação, de Programas Estratégicos de Defesa. Assim, a justificativa deste estudo reside em contribuir com a literatura atual que abrange essas áreas, bem como auxiliar na compreensão da relação entre Políticas Públicas, Economia de Defesa e Programas Estratégicos de Defesa no Brasil.

As miocardiopatias são um grupo complexo de doenças com múltiplas etiologias e expressão heterogênea que levam a distúrbios funcionais do coração. As manifestações clínicas, quando presentes, podem ser impactantes ao paciente. Elas variam de acordo com a existência de disfunção sistólica, diastólica ou ambas. Algumas miocardiopatias também podem causar dor torácica, síncope, arritmias ou morte súbita. O controle dos sintomas e o manejo da terapêutica medicamentosa são grandes desafios para os profissionais de saúde e para o paciente. O engajamento em comportamentos de autocuidado é uma estratégia eficaz que otimiza os desfechos clínicos ao paciente e envolve três processos: autocuidado de manutenção com ações que buscam a estabilidade da doença, como adesão à terapêutica medicamentosa e não medicamentosa; percepção dos sintomas, que abrange o reconhecimento e a interpretação adequada dos sinais e sintomas, e o autocuidado de manejo, que se refere às ações do paciente em resposta aos sinais e sintomas apresentados. O autocuidado tem um papel essencial no manejo da fase crônica, e se destina a de mitigar descompensações e fases agudas da doença. A presença de equipe multidisciplinar é essencial no manejo de pacientes com miocardiopatia e estratégias como monitoramento remoto do paciente e intervenções educativas devem ser direcionadas à melhora do autocuidado ao paciente no contexto hospitalar, ambulatorial e transicional do hospital ao domicílio. Fatores associados aos pacientes, como sociais, clínicos e psicológicos, devem ser observados para implementação de intervenções personalizadas, bem como a inclusão dos cuidadores informais é uma ferramenta importante no cuidado desses pacientes.

Introdução: A insuficiência cardíaca (IC) é uma doença crônica complexa, de alto custo hospitalar, que representa o estágio final de várias condições cardíacas. Suas causas são multifatoriais, resultando em anormalidades na função cardíaca e respostas neuro-humorais e inflamatórias. O “paradoxo da obesidade” é observado em pacientes com IC, onde um índice de massa corpórea (IMC) elevado está ligado a maior sobrevida. Entretanto, a desnutrição grave, como a caquexia cardíaca, reduz a sobrevida, especialmente em casos de miocardiopatia dilatada, caracterizada pela dilatação dos ventrículos. Objetivo: Analisar na literatura os indicadores que refletem o estado nutricional de indivíduos que têm miocardiopatia. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma revisão da literatura de forma sistemática, analisando-se os artigos publicados entre 2008 a 2023, nas bases de dados Medline, PubMed, Lilacs, SciELO e dos comitês nacionais e internacionais de saúde. Resultados: A IC impacta o estado nutricional devido a interações complexas, incluindo sistemas hormonais, problemas de absorção, carências nutricionais e desregulação metabólica. Conclusão: A desnutrição é comum em pacientes com miocardiopatia associada à IC, evidenciada por indicadores antropométricos e bioquímicos. Além da perda muscular e energética, anemia e imunossupressão podem ocorrer. A prevalência varia com o método de diagnóstico, sendo mais alta pela circunferência do braço (CB), análise subjetiva global (ASG) e depleção proteico-energética, e menor pelo IMC, considerado pouco confiável. Esta revisão destaca a importância de monitorar o estado nutricional regularmente em pacientes com IC, prevenindo desnutrição e seus efeitos adversos, bem como de identificar baixos níveis de colesterol como indicadores independentes de mau prognóstico

Miocardiopatias abrangem diversas apresentações de uma doença do miocárdio com função e estruturas anormais, porém com ausência de doença coronariana, hiper-tensão, doença cardíaca valvular ou malformação congênita que a explique. Entender a interdisciplinaridade entre cirurgião-dentista e cardiologista para o atendimento seguro dos indivíduos com miocardiopatias é relevante. Desse modo, o objetivo deste artigo é, através de uma revisão simples da literatura, abordar a compreensão das condições de pacientes com miocardiopatias e de como o cirurgião-dentista e cardiologista devem manejar seus atendimentos, facilitando a prática clínica e a trazendo segurança para os pacientes. Para isso, realizou-se uma busca nas bases de dados PubMed, Embase, BVS e Scopus, com os descritores “Cardiomyopathies” e “Dental Care”, bem como seus termos correlatos, utilizando os operadores booleanos “AND” e “OR”, tendo como critérios de inclusão artigos publicados em inglês, português e espanhol, sem restrição de tempo, disponíveis na íntegra, e que abordassem o tema em questão. Dentre os achados dessa revisão, encontrou-se que a doença periodontal é uma condição relevante a ser considerada pela associação com os marcadores inflamatórios e as miocardiopatias, e que o uso de anticoagulantes e antiagregantes plaquetários é frequente e ainda há dúvidas entre clínicos sobre o seu manejo em procedimentos cruentos, incluindo conhecimentos sobre anestesia odontológica, estresse e ansiedade. Especificamente, a amiloidose cardíaca pode trazer sinais clínicos em mucosas bucais, demonstrando a importância do diagnóstico e estadiamento da doença, e, os cuidados com indivíduos em risco de miocardiopatia takotsubo secundária. São necessários mais estudos que abordem o tema, para que melhores evidências científicas possam estabelecer diretrizes para o atendimento seguro e assertivo ao paciente, estabelecendo integralmente a interdisciplinaridade entre a odontologia e a cardiologia.

The paper addresses a highly relevant and contemporary topic in the field of data processing. Big data is a crucial aspect of modern computing, and the choice of processing framework can significantly impact performance and efficiency. The technical revolution of big data has changed how organizations handle and value large databases. As data quantities expand quickly, effective and scalable data processing systems are essential. MapReduce and Apache Spark are two of the most popular large data processing techniques. This study compares these two frameworks to determine their merits, shortcomings, and applicability for big data applications. Nearly quintillion bytes of data are created daily. Approximately 90% of data was produced in the previous two years. At this stage, data comes from temperature sensors, social media, movies, photographs, transaction records (like banking records), mobile phone conversations, GPS signals, etc. In this article, all key big data technologies are introduced. This document compares all big data technologies and discusses their merits and downsides. Run trials using multiple data sets of varying sizes to validate and explain the study. Graphical depiction shows how one tool outperforms others for given data. Big Data is data generated by the rapid usage of the internet, sensors, and heavy machinery, with great volume, velocity, variety, and veracity. Numbers, photos, videos, and text are omnipresent in every sector. Due to the pace and amount of data generation, the computing system struggles to manage large data. Data is stored in a distributed architectural file system due to its size and complexity. Big distributed file systems, which must be fault-tolerant, adaptable, and scalable, make complicated data analysis dangerous and time-consuming. Big data collection is called ‘datafication’. Big data is ‘datafied’ for productivity. Organisation alone does not make Big Data valuable; we must choose what we can do with it.
The Pre-Toda Verb
A Reconstruction
Authors: Sanjay Surya
Published: November 2023

Toda is a Dravidian language that is well known for its aberrant phonology, namely due to ubiquitous vowel dropping, simplification of consonant clusters, and phonemic diversification. Although efforts have succeeded to some extent in mapping these phonemes to those of related languages, the origins and implications of Toda morphology have not yet been explored in detail. This work aims to reconstruct key aspects of the Pre-Toda verb in order to provide a dataset to be faithfully used in comparative Dravidian linguistics. Here, the formation of the secondary stem and the nonpast suffixes are demonstrated to show more affinity towards Old Kannada rather than Old Tamil. At the same time, the tenseless and dubitative conjugations, along with personal terminations, are found to retain archaic Dravidian suffixes.

The purpose of this study is to design a lesson model for music appreciation using ZEP. For the literature review, the researcher examined music appreciation and ZEP utilization classes. The main focus was to explore the stages of music appreciation presented by musicologists and music educators in Korea and overseas and adopt the stages of music appreciation appropriate for the use of ZEP. The second is to explore previous studies related to ZEP, and among them, studies that focus on the places constructed in ZEP and enhance the learning effectiveness in various situations and environments were selected. As a result of this study, we describe the principles of design and application of the model for music appreciation using ZEP. This is a pre-study for the implementation of a lesson using ZEP, music appreciation using the metaverse platform ZEP following the design principle, and a lesson plan. Classes using ZEP in music field are rare. However, through this study, music teachers should change the attitude of students (listeners) according to the changes in learning space of music appreciation using ZEP, induce them to be more immersed in musical works, and enhance the learning effectiveness by providing an environment where they could appreciate music from various perspectives.
