Published: February 2023

With the objective of identifying high yielding wheat varieties for irrigated condition of midwestern region of Nepal, Coordinated Varietal Trials (CVT) of wheat were planted under irrigated conditions at Regional Agriculture Research Station (RARS) Khajura in winter season of 2011/12 and 2012/13.  Trials were planted in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and recommended cultivation practices were followed. Various phenological, morphological and yield attributing traits were recorded. Obtained data of both years were analyzed by using MSTATC software program. Correlation and path analysis for yield was conducted by using SPSS and MS-Excel. Combined analysis over year indicated highly significant differences among the genotypes in terms of days to heading, days to maturity, thousand kernels weight, grain yield and straw yield. The difference was significant for plant height but non-significant in terms of grains per spike. Among the tested entries included in the experiment, NL 1135 had late heading and maturity. In contrast, genotype BL 3978 was earliest. Genotype Gautam was obtained to be tallest and Thousand kernels weight was obtained highest in genotype BL3978. Grain yield was obtained significantly high over the years in NL1094 followed by NL 1135. Maximum straw yield was obtained in genotype NL 1094 followed by NL1135. Correlation coefficient computation showed that days to maturity had highest positive correlation (0.684**) with days to heading. Path analysis for yield revealed that thousand kernels weight had the highest positive value (0.732681) as compared to direct effect of other traits.

Published: February 2023

This study analyzed the environmental factors affecting rural livelihood diversification in Adamawa State, Nigeria. The data used for the analysis were generated from 360 respondents, using multi-stage random sampling procedure. The analytical tools used were descriptive (frequencies and percentages) and inferential statistics (Tobit regression). The descriptive statistics were used in categorizing the respondents on the basis of their socio-economic characteristics. Tobit regression was employed to determine the environmental factors affecting livelihood diversification. The major findings were that: the frequency of natural disasters (X1) and season of the year (X5) were positive and significant for livelihood diversification at 5% level of significance. The number of natural resources (X3) available in an environment was positive and significant for livelihood diversification at 1% level of significance. The distance between state headquarters, local government headquarters and major towns (X2) and where a respondent lives was found to be not significant. Similarly, distance between markets (X4) and where a respondent lives was also found to be not significant for livelihood diversification. It was concluded that the number of natural disasters that occur and the number of natural resources available in the study area are strong factors that affect livelihood diversification. It was recommended, among others, that the prevailing environmental factors in a given area should be considered at the planning stages for any rural development or empowerment projects meant for livelihood diversification. Livelihood diversification opportunities should be made available and possible during dry season periods in the study area.

Published: February 2023

Investigations were conducted to evaluate the antifungal activities of the essential oils of Eucalyptus saligna, Cymbopogon citratus and Cupressus lusitanica collected from the locality of Dschang, West region of Cameroon against Rigidoporus lignosus (clone GT1) causative agent of root rubber trees rot. The agar well diffusion method was used to evaluate fungal growth inhibition at various concentrations. The obtained results showed that essential oils of of Eucalyptus saligna, Cymbopogon citratus and Cupressus lusitanica found to be inhibitory to Rigidoporus lignosus. The antifungal activity of these essential oils were varied significantly depending on plant species. Eucalyptus saligna and Cupressus lusitanica essential oils completely suppressed de growth of Rigidoporus lignosus at 5000 ppm with fungicide effect for Eucalyptus saligna. However Cymbopogon citratus essential oil has been more active than the other two and also showed a fungicide effect at 500 ppm. From these results, it can be concluded that the essential oil from the leaves of C. citratus may be rich in antifungal compounds which possess considerable antifungal properties. It is a good alternative to harmful chemical pesticides and can be effectively used to control growth of Rigidoporus lignosus.

The present study was undertaken from 2009 to 2011 in order to understand the current status of wetlands in district Chamba. The study was conducted in Khajjiar wetland and its catchments area for biodiversity. Repeated visits were made to the field to record the flora and vegetation of the area. In India, majority of the wetlands are badly affected and some of them are even highly threatened or on the verge of extinction mainly due to anthropogenic interventions. The remaining wetlands also threatened by air and water pollutants, and hydrologic alterations. Natural wetlands in India consist of high altitude Himalayan lakes. According to International importance, there are 25 Ramsar sites in India out of them 3 wetlands in the State of Himachal Pradesh have been declared as wetlands of international importance. The Khajjiar wetland is one of important lake although it is not an international importance. It is important because of socio-cultural and ecological values and services it provides. Presently lake is under threat due to anthropogenic pressures. The problem is further accentuated because of loss of water quality data, ecological services, information etc. Thus it is necessary to reclaim and develop the wetlands for its optimum potential use, for this a reliable and accurate data base is required. Therefore, present study endeavour aimed to generate data base in terms of socio-cultural and ecological aspects i.e. physical aspects / land use, extent of water spread and its water quality, vegetation status of catchments area and surrounding of lake and to determine the importance of these wetlands for the local people and to give an indication of the distribution of the benefits among various stakeholders.

El 50% de la población de la parroquia Imantag tiene como principal actividad económica la agricultura distribuida en 920 unidades productivas agropecuarias; con un 10% de la superficie total dividido en cultivos de ciclo perenne y ciclo corto.  Esta actividad es imperativa ya que genera los principales ingresos y utiliza la mayor cantidad de mano de obra. Al no contar con información sobre el comportamiento socioeconómico de los agricultores no se pueden establecer estrategias para mantener esta condición sostenible. La investigación tuvo como objetivo principal determinar el comportamiento económico y social de los agricultores, para así sentar una línea base de futuros estudios acerca de la conducta socioeconómica. Esta investigación se desarrolló en tres fases; la primera determinó las áreas productivas y los principales cultivos del sector; en la segunda se identificó la muestra de la población, se estableció variables e indicadores socioeconómicos y se aplicó la entrevista; la tercera fase analizó y tabuló los datos obtenidos en la fase II mediante el método cuali-cuantitativo, el método sintético y observación. Se identificaron los principales cultivos de la parroquia que tienen su incidencia económica, niveles de ingresos y estratos sociales. Además se identificaron las particularidades en cuanto a inversiones, lo que permitió ver las preferencias y establecer el comportamiento socioeconómico. En conclusión el agricultor persigue un status dentro de la comunidad que está valorado por su posesión de bienes más que por su educación, su acceso a salud y servicios básicos.

In this study the occurrence of intrauterine transmission pathway of theileria spp from infected cows to its offspring was evaluated and the oxidative stress of theileria infection on new born calves and its body reaction by antioxidant response was determined. Twenty pregnant cows at the last trimester stage of pregnancy and its offspring from some localities in New-Valley Governorate and suffering from theileriosis(different degree of parasitemia) by clinically and laboratory (blood smears and PCR test) examine .Examination of 18 living new born calves where the rest number of newborn calves(two calves) dead during parturition, revealed 7(38.88%) calves only were positive by direct smear and indicated massive parasitemia but by PCR test revealed 14 out of 18(77.77%) new born calves were positive. The mean value of hematological parameters indicated significant decrease in TRBCs count, HB content, PCV (%), MCV (f l), MCH (p g/dl) and MCHC (g/dl) and significant increase in TWBCs count in comparison to control healthy calves, while evaluation of oxidative stress which revealed significantly increased in both parameters (MDA and PCs) by (P < 0.001), and no significant change in catalase enzyme and significant decrease in glutathione enzyme in comparison to healthy control group. Thereby from the results we can see the neonate calf acquired theileria annulata infection from her infected and/or immune carrier mother during gestation period and affected newborn calves develop clinical signs either soon after birth or during neonate life, lipid peroxidation is one of the important consequences of oxidative stress.
TOWARDS AN ENTREPRENEURIAL INNOVATION SYSTEM FOR SMALL-HOLDER FARMERS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRIC
Authors: Kroesen Otto , Ndegwah David John
Published: February 2023

Growing population pressure, climate change and urbanization necessitate the increase of agricultural production and innovation. Horticulture by means of protected cultivation primarily for vegetables production seems promising by creating a controlled environment for light, temperature and moisture and against diseases. But there is a gap between the high-tech precision horticulture as practiced for instance in the Netherlands and the context and capacities of African smallholder farmers. On the one side high-tech large-scale greenhouse cultivation is introduced by foreign companies, management and capital, while on the other side many smallholders grapple with lack of quality inputs, lack of funding, lack of frugal small-scale technical solutions (greenhouses, irrigation systems, water provision, disease and residue treatment, monitoring soil fertility etc.), lack of infrastructure and lack of capacity. Over and above an analysis of the situation the paper proposes a way forward consisting of three elements: entrepreneurship and capacity training (1), a strategy of gradual growth (2), and finally a comprehensive business innovation system (3). The research is based on long-term student involvement by internships and master thesis studies from the Delft University of Technology and includes the experiences of a Dutch consortium of entrepreneurs and researchers (greenhouse constructors, seed companies, pest control, financial institutions and entrepreneurship). This consortium tries to raise the capacities of smallholder farmers and take them to a higher level. Findings show that in principle there is a business case for introducing existing smallholder farmers and young entrepreneurs to protected cultivation under the leadership of more experienced farmers, supported by a network of stakeholders (retailers, banks, Dutch and African companies, academic partners, NGOs, government agencies). Cooperation of many stakeholders, the creation of an enabling environment and training of capacity appear to be crucial conditions for success.

Published: February 2023

This article seeks to identify and analyze the determinants of the Penja Pepper production. The survey focused 42 producers from whom data were collected and analyzed using Ordinary Least Squares method. The results of this analysis present the age of the producers and type of plants as the main factors having a negative impact on pepper production. They are significant at 10% and are negatively correlated with the production. In addition, on an average area of 1,675 ha, producers produce an average of 739.5 kg of dry Penja pepper and sell at an average price of 5084.37 CFA / kg. This production is well below the theoretically estimated amount that is 1500 to 2000 kg per hectare. The actors in the sector should use quality plant material, fight against the attacks using natural methods, and regularly monitor their plantation. This would reduce the risk of losing the label.

Authors: Kianian M.K., , Hajimohammadi H.,
Published: February 2023

To study early autumn and late spring frosts and its relation to the yield of agriculture crops in Semnan province we used statistics the least daily minimum temperature of 6 stations in the months of October and November and April during the period (1993-2014) as well as information on yield of agricultural crops from horticulture department of agriculture Organization. Using Pearson correlation coefficient between yield and frequency of early autumn and late spring frosts were studied and finally induced to study the frosts trends for each station. Early frosts of autumn in the province date from 20 October to 23 November and latest frosts ranged from 3 to 23 April and Biarjomand station experience earliest autumn and latest spring frosts. The Relationship between crop yields with frost Occurrence frequency shows that by increasing the number of days of early autumn frosts reduced wheat yield. This condition is for crops such as peas, walnuts and grapes, too. Amongst, the greatest impact is on the potato crop, which is closely related to the pattern of cultivation and harvest. On the other hand, it was found that late spring frosts in the province have the greatest impact on horticultural crops such as cherries, peaches, walnuts and grapes. As a result, early and late frosts changes in Semnan and Miami has increased, which in coming years will be also affected by this situation. Also, early frosts of autumn at harvest time and late spring frosts during flowering have many effects on crop yield.

Pensar la formación universitaria de Trabajo Social en la actualidad presenta múltiples desafíos propios del contexto social y político que vive nuestro país. En este artículo, nos proponemos establecer lazos con nuestro pasado profesional, y, particularmente, con la formación en tiempos convulsos, como lo fue la dictadura cívico militar Chile entre los años 1973 y 1989. Para ello, se desarrolló una investigación con enfoque cualitativo y con una metodología biográfica narrativa, donde participaron seis trabajadores sociales, que, siendo estudiantes o docentes, durante la dictadura militar compartieron sus relatos y experiencias para dar cuenta de la represión vivida en las Escuelas de Trabajo Social de la Universidad de Chile -posterior Instituto Profesional de Santiago- y la Pontificia Universidad Católica. Los relatos sobre cómo las universidades fueron intervenidas y sus efectos en la formación del Trabajo Social, se estructuran en dos ejes temáticos, el primero, sobre los mecanismos represivos, y, segundo, sobre las búsquedas profesionales por abrir nuevos espacios de aprendizaje por fuera de las aulas universitarias.

KAJIAN KARAKTERISTIK ABNORMALITAS TANAMAN KELAPA SAWIT (Oil Palms)
Authors: Rahmawati Aulia , Susanto Ari
Published: February 2023

Oil palm is the largest vegetable oil-producing plantation crop in the world. The need for oil palm seeds increases along with the increasing demand for oil palm products. The need for these seeds needs to be balanced with the presence of ordinary oil palm seeds. The abnormalities in oil palm plantations were found due to the selection of seeds that were less selective. Chimera in plants is the formation of characteristics that are governed by several genotypic constitutions and grow side by side with each other in tissues. In oil palm, chimeras can begin to appear in the seedling phase. The characteristics of abnormalities can be seen in terms of morphology and plant physiology. Based on morphological characteristics, chimera plants have a phenotype that is determined by the presence of white or bright yellow leaves parallel to the stem, stunted plants, rosettes, undeveloped leaves, mantle sissy flowers, followed by squirrel tail flowers (androgynous), thick coat fruits, and thin skin. . Based on physiological characteristics, chimeras occur due to changes in chloroplast development which result in changes in the chlorophyll content of oil palm plants. Oil palm plants that are considered abnormal from time to time can turn into normal plants depending on the level of abnormality of each plant. This study aims to examine the characteristics of abnormalities in oil palm plants. Therefore, it can be seen that oil palm seeds are classified as abnormal to be selected before planting in the field. This is done to obtain high potential oil palm plantations.

The current study aimed to establish the anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic properties of E. globulus essential oil. In this research, 36 albino rats weighing 140-170g on average were employed. 36 rats were divided into three groups (control, standard and experimental group). Control and standard group consisted of 6 rats in each group whereas experimental group consisted of 24 rats. All rats in three groups were treated with carrageenan for induction of oedema for anti-inflammatory, brewer’s yeast to induce pyrexia to check anti-pyretic activity and acetic acid to induce pain for analgesic activity. Control group rats were treated with normal saline for all 100u µl three activities. Standard group rats were treated with diclofenac for antiinflammatory and analgesic activities and paracetamol for antipyretic activity. The essential oils were injected into abdominal muscles and intraperitoneal tissues. The maximum percentage of inhibition of leaves oil in antiinflammatory action was 54.01%. The maximum percentage of suppression of fever by essential leaves oil was 75.44% in antipyretic efficacy. The highest percentage inhibition against pain in analgesic action was 25%. Significant anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic effects were demonstrated at 50µl/L, 100µl/L, and 12.5µl/L doses, respectively, when compared to control group. From overall result, it was concluded that injection of E. globules leaves oil in abdominal and intraperitoneal muscle may possess significant anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic activities. Our study scientifically supports traditional use of E. globulus as a medicine.

Özellikle coğrafyamızda, meralar küresel ısınmadan ve düzensiz otlatmadan dolayı hızla bozulmakta ve dokusunu kaybetmektedir. Bugün bilim, kuraklığa ve çoraklaşmaya töleransı yüksek, potansiyel hayvan yemi olabilecek ve meraların iyileştirilmesinde kullanılabilecek bitkiler üzerinde çalışmalar yürütmektedir. Kurak bir iklime sahip Karapınar (Konya)'da yürütülen küçükbaş hayvancılık bu durumdan en fazla etkilenecek yerlerdendir. Bu çalışmayla Karapınar ve çevresinde meraların iyileştirilmesinde yararlanılabilecek bölgesel türlerin ve potansiyellerinin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan arazi çalışmaları ile yaygın olan 13 tuzcul bitki tespit edilmiş ve bunların yem bitkisi ya da mera iyileştirmesindeki potansiyelleri değerlendirilmiştir. Mera ıslah çalışmalarında kullanılan Atriplex canescens ile aynı aileden 9 türün Karapınar'da bulunduğu, bunlardan özellikle Salicornia perennans'ın hayvan yemi, Camphorosma monspeliaca ve Bassia prostrata'nın ise mera ıslahında kullanılabileceği önerilmiştir.

Bu çalışmada, mor havuç Nüve ID 300 iklimlendirme test kabininde sabit 65 °C sıcaklıkta kurutularak kaynar suya daldırma ön işleminin etkisi araştırılmıştır. Kuruma süresi, kuruma oranı, rehidrasyon, renk, sertlik ve efektif difüzyon parametreleri açısından en uygun kurutma yöntemi araştırılmıştır. Uygulanan ön işlemin mor havucun kuruma süresini önemli düzeyde azalttığı tespit edilmiştir. Kaynar suya daldırma ön işlemi uygulanan örnekler 5.5 saatte, ön işlemsizler (kontrol) ise 6.5 saatte kurumuştur. Tazeye en yakın (p<0.05) renk değerleri kaynar suya daldırıldıktan sonra kurutulan örneklerde tespit edilmiştir. En yüksek su alma kapasitesi kaynar suya daldırılan ön işlemi uygulanan örneklerde belirlenmiştir. Kontrol örneklerinin efektif difüzyon değeri 4.10x10-10 m2/s ve kaynar suya daldırılan örneklerde ise 4.31x10-10 m2/s olarak hesaplanmıştır. Kurutma modelleri arasında kuruma verilerini en iyi Polinomial Cubic modeli (R2: 0.9999) tahmin etmiştir. Uygulanan kaynar suya daldırma ön işlemi havuç örneklerinin kuruma süresini azalttığı, renk değerlerini kontrole göre daha iyi koruduğu ve efektif difüzyon değerlerini hızlandırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre mor havuç örneklerinin kurutulması işlemlerinde kaynar suya daldırma ön işleminin uygulanması hem kuruma kinetiği hem de kalite özellikleri açısından önerilmektedir.

Ideology: Factors of Conflict and Failure in the Middle East
Authors: Hasbi Jabbar
Published: February 2023

The following article discusses how Western ideology is a major factor in the occurrence of conflict and state failure in the Middle East. In this article, the author examines the perspective of ideological hegemony. The ideology destroys the political and economic system that is at the root of social inequalities, thus accelerating the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East. The author cites Syria and Libya as examples to prove the driving factors of the conflict. The author argues that the main cause of the conflict in the Middle East is the influence of Western ideology which has not been accepted by both those in power and society, which has led to divisions and even wars. Democracy is an accepted model in many countries that cannot be applied in the Middle East. The author also criticizes the failure of the implementation of democracy and the liberal economy in the Middle East.
