The evaluation of drought-tolerance rice genetic resources
Authors: Quashie Theophilus Amar-Cofie , Danquah Eric Yerenkyi
Published: August 2022

About 70% of the rice consumed in Ghana is imported. The state of self-insufficiency in rice production can be attributed to the lack of adequate or continuous water supply. Rice, being an aquatic plant, is not tolerant to drought, which is known as the most threatening abiotic factor causing as much as 64% yield reduction. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify drought-tolerance genotypes among 24 rice collections and to estimate their heritability. A total of 24 traits were assessed in this study, and three treatments were applied, including stress free, mild stress, and severe stress, each of which involved three replications. The results showed that most of the parameters under investigation, including panicle length, fertile panicle rate, shoot, and root dry weight, and maximum root depth, decreased considerably as the level of drought stress increased. In addition, five of the accessions showed considerable tolerance to drought, eight accessions were high yielding, and eight accessions combined high yields and drought tolerance. The study concluded that 80% of the rice accessions offer promising lines to be used as parents in the development of drought-tolerant varieties and in genetic improvement programs aimed at such a purpose. The study recommended that molecular studies and morphological characterization should be done on the collections to understand their genetic makeup, similarities, and differences.

Authors: Das Utpalakshya , Ray Subhajit
Published: August 2022

This investigation aimed to undertake an effective waste management strategy by valorizing the functional potential of thermally processed tomato processed waste fragments collected from three different zones of different states of India viz. Shillong (Sample A, Meghalaya), Falakata (Sample B, West Bengal), and Jalpaiguri (Sample C, West Bengal). Thermal processing of fragmented waste samples prior to the extraction process was carried out with three different drying techniques viz. solar drying, hot air oven drying, and combined drying. The experimental investigation with a comparative design revealed that the total phenolic content (TPC), lycopene content, and β-carotene content of solar dried waste fragments derived from samples A & B are significantly higher than those in sample C. Moreover, the sun-dried  pomace fraction of tomato waste contains the maximum amount of bioactive components viz. lycopene (303.452mg/kg in sample A, 297.96 mg/kg in sample B, and 203.583 mg/kg in sample C),  β-carotene content (299.6mg/kg in sample B, 299.1mg/kg in sample A, and 223.004 mg/kg in sample C) and total phenolic content (6.8698mg/kg in sample B, 5.9541mg/kg in sample A, and 5.7915mg/kg in sample C) followed by skin lycopene (282.297mg/kg in sample A, 276.8 mg/kg in sample B, and 182.603 mg/kg in sample C); β-carotene (280.41mg/kg in sample A, 278.002mg/kg in sample B, and 188.258 mg/kg in sample C) and total phenolics (6.4413mg/kg in sample B, 5.2633mg/kg in sample A, and 5.0223mg/kg in sample C) and seed lycopene (276.8mg/kg in sample B, 86.746 mg/kg in sample A, and 62.163mg/kg in sample C); β- carotene (85.23mg/kg in sample B, 84.01mg/kg in sample A, and 66.23mg/kg in sample C) and total phenolics (5.9228mg/kg in sample B followed by 4.6602mg/kg in sample A and 4.641mg/kg) respectively. The solar drying technique is considered to be a novel pretreatment process compared to other treatments e.g., oven drying, and combined drying, in the efficacy of extraction of bioactive components from tomato processed waste fractions due to its lower impact on heat-sensitive biomaterials.
Spiritual Development in Family Management
Authors: Shah Maulana Akbar
Published: August 2022

In Islam, spirituality means worshipping God, seeking the satisfaction of God, awareness of the origin of the universe, humility, submission, and trust, which man demonstrates in all of his actions. In this way, an individual's oath to Allah is the focal point of Islamic spirituality. When discussing the role of spirituality in touching the unending episode of happiness in this world and the next world, the nature of spirituality continues to develop beyond one’s imagination. The word "spiritual" comes from the Latin word "spiritus," indicating breath, an essential element of human life. Without breathing, there is no life; therefore, every aspect of living, in essence, is related to the realm of the spiritual. Spirituality is also essential in human life experiences through the physical and mental senses, which are difficult to express in ordinary language. They have something to do with deep knowledge, dealing with living and non-living things and the metaphysical. Searching for a true sense of spirituality could show a path to self-identity that can answer who we are, where we come from, and our destination. This paper discusses the significance of the development of spirituality, starting from an individual to the family and society. It provides methods of developing spirituality, the nature of the development of spiritual values, training the children with the inculcation of religious teachings, and a comparison of spiritual values in Islamic and western practices. This research applies the descriptive-analytical method. It attempts to illustrate the significance of applying spirituality in the family and society at large as a catalyst towards the prosperity of this world and the next.

Street Vendors Evictions and Relocations in Dar Es Salaam: Coping Strategies and Resilience Implications
Authors: Hamidu Kirumirah , Munishi EMmanuel
Published: August 2022

The existing literature on urban governance regards street vendors as passive victims of evictions and re-allocations threats, focusing largely on their inability to cope. Using the case study of the urban street vendors in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, this paper suggests that urban street vendors are not just passive victims of evictions and re-allocations but also utilize various capabilities to cope with this threat. The paper examines evictions and re-allocations threat among urban street vendors in Dar es Salaam Tanzania, to determine the vendors’ capability to cope with the threat and recommend factors for supporting the vendors to cope more competently. Based on the multilayered social resilience framework, a qualitative approach was utilized and drew data on a sample of 50 respondents through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), observations, and a review of secondary data. Findings indicated that on the one hand, the vendors managed to develop reactive and less proactive capacities of coping with the evictions and re-allocations threat mainly based on the individual, household, community level, and to a lesser degree, national and international levels. On the other hand, vendors’ coping capacities were impeded by their lack of financial ability, less supportive government structures and politics, lack of union among the vendors, and business skills. These factors should be considered in supporting the vendors to more competently cope with the threat. These findings provide insights on alternative ways of understanding and alleviating the negative consequences of evictions and re-allocations of the urban street vendors in Dar es Salaam and other cities in Tanzania.

Authors: Shell Ryan , Gardner Nicholas , Hrabik Robert A.
Published: August 2022

A previous paper in this journal by Shell and Gardner assessed various factors around the exploration of the Mississippi River by bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas Müller and Henle, 1839) based on two twentieth-century occurrences. Recent evidence has suggested one of these occurrences is a probable hoax. Here, we provide a correction to our earlier paper, as well as additional comments on extralimital euryhaline vertebrates in the Mississippi River system, the environmental and historical contexts for their exploration into riverine systems, and suggest steps for any future effort to detect the usage of these river systems by bull sharks.

Parallel structural patterns in internal linguistic systems of English: an integrated approach
Authors: Ishtiaq Muhammad , Kamal Zahid , Iqbal Sahibzada Wasim
Published: August 2022

This paper reviews the major parallel structural patterns common across all internal linguistic systems despite the fact that important differences exist between the different language systems besides similarities. However, the prevailing pedagogic approaches to treating these internal linguistic systems as mutually exclusive rather than complementary have highlighted the differences by bringing them to the fore and at the same time have obscured and ignored the essential similarities shared by them all. Drawing on Radford’s (2004) reflection that binarity is equally valid and applicable to the constituent structures of phonological and morphological systems and operations along with that of syntax, the present study extends certain other operations primarily discussed and analysed in terms of syntactic constituents to have been equal application and validity in other linguistic systems i.e., phonology, morphology, and lexicology. This study has concentrated on aspects of general structural patterns in three significant patterns such as ‘essential/non-essential dichotomy’, ‘ordering of elements in constituents at all levels, ‘subcategorization’ restrictions on elements of constituents at all levels. It has been concluded that all the features equally apply to all three internal linguistic systems.

Published: August 2022

Chitosan is one of the naturally abundant, biodegradable, and low-cost adsorbent materials for metal adsorption purposes. In this work, we evaluated the application of chitosan materials derived from seafood wastes in Depok beach, Yogyakarta, for an effective recovery of the palladium(II) ions. First of all, the seafood wastes were treated to obtain chitin and then followed by the deacetylation process to produce chitosan material with a deacetylation degree of 78.42%. The chitosan material was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer. It was found that chitosan gave high adsorption percentage (90%) for palladium(II) ions due to the complexation with hydroxyl, amino and carbonyl functional groups. The palladium(II) adsorption onto chitosan material followed the pseudo-second-order (R2 = 0.9978) and Langmuir (R2 = 0.9979) models for kinetic and isotherm experiments, respectively, with a maximum adsorption capacity value of 0.70 mmol g-1. The palladium(II) ions could be easily desorbed in 90% percentage using 1.0 M HCl solution from metal-laden chitosan to regenerate the adsorbent material. The chitosan-based adsorbent material did not lose its adsorption capability after three consecutive cycles with no significant structural change as revealed from the FTIR data. These results showed the potential application of natural chitosan materials derived from seafood wastes for the effective recovery of palladium(II) ions.
Message Reminders Encouraging Brisk Walking by Considering the Dynamic Factor of Cognitive Fatigue
Authors: Symons Michelle , Vandebosch Heidi , Cutello Clara Alida , Poels Karolien
Published: August 2022

Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviours are leading risk factors for preventable health problems worldwide. Therefore, several smartphone-based interventions have tried to enhance physical activity (PA) through goal reminders based on relatively stable characteristics. However, time-varying factors, such as cognitive fatigue, may act as barriers to engagement in PA. This study aims to unravel what type of goal reminder messages are effective for enhancing PA in situations of cognitive fatigue. First, using a 3 x 3 between-subjects design, we evaluated the effectiveness of goal reminders matched with real-time goals under different levels of cognitive fatigue. This study did not find evidence that the tested goal reminders, intended to be adapted to the real-time goals of the participants, were more effective in promoting PA than goal reminders not adapted to individuals’ real-time goals. Second, to better understand how to design future reminders, two questions explored what format and what content participants considered to be helpful when feeling cognitively fatigued. Results show that GIFs, textual reminders, and pictures are suitable formats in smartphone-based interventions and that humorous content is preferred when feeling cognitively fatigued. These findings contribute to the development of just-in-time adaptive interventions that consider dynamic factors to promote PA.

Authors: Viarchuk A. N. , Kubrak S. V. , Kilchevskiy A. V.
Published: August 2022

Classical palynology is based on the morphological description of pollen obtained using the light microscopy technique, which has along with its advantages a number of limitations. Due to the genetic study of mixtures of pollen and spores of different plant species, it will be possible to obtain more accurate identification of pollen species composition and to replace or effectively supplement morphological analysis with DNA analysis. The presented literature review demonstrates great potential of using pollen DNA barcoding in a number of areas of applied palynology.

Authors: Taghipour Malihe , Imani Fatemeh
Published: August 2022

Stress is one of the important issues in modern societies and in fact an inevitable part of people’s lives. Educational environment are among the environments where people experience stress. Therefore, identification and extraction of environmental stressors to reduce them and increase spatial relaxation is the main objective of the present study. In this research, survey methodology and Delphi technique have been used to answer the research questions. This study has focused on the attitude of experts and professors in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, and architecture. In this regard, library resources were first studied and reviewed, and then open-ended interviews were conducted with twelve psychiatrists, psychologists, and professors in these areas in Shiraz, Iran. Then, Shannon’s content analysis method was used to analyze the information and extract the effective components of stress in educational environment according to the weight coefficients for their importance and acceptability. In the next step, the grouping of the contributing factors into four distinct categories was done by five professors in the field of architecture. The results indicate that independent variables have different degrees of impact on the dependent variable. Noise and inappropriate lighting were identified as the most important environmental components increasing the stress level. Congestion was determined as the most important psycho-social variable while inadequate availability of space and colors were suggested as significant physical and spatial components of stress. The conclusion of this study is some design strategies that are suggested to help in reducing stressors such as educational space location, arrangement, neighboring, shape, noise, heating, and cooling.
The Iraqi's Foreign Language Acquisition and Arabic as a Foreign Language
Authors: Gurbuz Hasan
Published: August 2022

Although decades have passed on language teaching techniques, foreign language teaching is still a subject that does not fall off the agenda and does not lose its originality. It is a fact that there are prejudices against foreign language learning among nation-state citizens or that they have no interest in learning a foreign language. The Iraqi state is in geography where dozens of nations live, and different languages are spoken, and although it is a nation-state, it does not have a mass of people who are closed to foreign language learning like the people of America, England or Turkey. Along with this fact, it is also true that there is a minimal audience that looks at foreign language learning with cultural prejudice. This article focuses on foreign language acquisition in Iraq, language acquisition of children and adults, and the position of Arabic as a foreign language.

Published: August 2022

In recent years, violence among learners has escalated in many schools in South Africa. This has raised concern in society on whether the measures put in place to address the problem works. For this reason, we set to investigate the cause and measures to curb school violence in two schools in a disadvantaged community of Mabopane, Gauteng Province. We selected a township setting as the context of our research. This choice is informed by frequent occurrences of violence in high schools. We used a qualitative research approach to collect data through semi-structured interviews with twelve learners (n=6) from two high schools in the township of Mabopane. The findings Suggest that lack of control of learners, as demontrated by learners loitering around during clases, gambling, and drug abuse are the primary causes contributing to violence.

Actors’ perception of urban agriculture can affect the way urban agricultural decisions are made and implemented either positively or negatively, with or without the actors being aware of it. The way actors perceive urban agriculture is influenced by actors’  interests, limited or unlimited information about urban agriculture, policy and legal frameworks. This study used a case-study design to examine the effects of actors’ diverse perception of urban agriculture on the governance of urban agriculture.  Purposefully selected 60 respondents participated in-depth interviews in the wards of Daraja Mbili and Lemala. Farmers and agricultural officers perceived urban agriculture positively because their livelihoods and professional interests were related and relied on the practice of urban agriculture. Urban planners and agricultural officers perceived  agriculture positively and negatively depending on the way agricultural activities affected the environment or were compatible with non-agricultural activities. The implementation of policy and enforcement of bylaws relating to urban agriculture was not successful because urban planners and environmental officers were skeptical about the value of urban agriculture. Doing urban agriculture in the environmentally sensitive areas was against environmental bylaws, but the area was encroached upon by the farmers who had no alternative land for farming. Land use hurdles for doing urban agriculture were rarely addressed by urban planners who had no evidence of the benefits of urban agriculture to city authority compared with revenue and employment opportunities from real estate developments. We conclude that the farmers’ and non-farmers positive and negative perception of urban agriculture stem from their interests, limited or unlimited information about urban agriculture. Government officials’ perception of urban agriculture is influenced by their carrier and work obligations. Despite the presence of policy acknowledging urban agriculture and environmental bylaws for regulating urban agriculture, actors cannot really govern urban agriculture if they perceive it negatively.

Legal Policies in Front of Corruption Bill on Treatment of Remission Between Corruptors and Chicken Thieves
Authors: Kifli Susiana
Published: August 2022

The type of research used in this research is normative legal research by using primary and secondary legal materials, along with tertiary legal materials as supporting materials. This is by looking at strength and position of Visum Et Repertum evidence in a criminal act. Regarding the granting of remissions for convicts who commit criminal acts of corruption as regulated in Article 34 (A) of PP No.99 of 2012 concerning Terms and Procedures for Implementation Rights of Correctional Inmates, if viewed from theory of purpose of punishment, there are two thoughts in that regard. First, if granting of remissions is associated with one of known punishment theories, it is a relative theory, which emphasizes purpose of punishment to improve the perpetrators of crimes. By being given this punishment, it is hoped that later a criminal can change into a better person and restore the balance that was damaged due to the crime. The second opinion states that the regulations that apply to convicts of corruption have special requirements before getting remission, but actually any conditions that are intended to be used as basis for remission will only hinder the achievement purpose of sentencing. The reason is, corruption which is essentially an economic offense that harms the state and benefits oneself is carried out based on greed, where with remission mechanism there will be calculations that will speed up a convicted corruption person out of prison.
