Authors: Dawadi Ebha , Karki Ambika
Published: January 2024

Production and productivity of crops is highly affected by uneven germination and poor crop establishment. The greater the germination percentage of the seed, the greater will be the productivity. Problems like low seed replacement rate, climate change, drought, low germination percentage, poor crop stand etc. are influencing the crop production. There might be the introduction of scientific tools and techniques in crop production like improved variety, resistance variety, etc. But each and every farmer is not capable and skilled enough to utilize advanced technology. In that case, seed priming can be a better alternative as well as a better solution to the problems. It is cost effective, ecofriendly and easily accessible to every farmer out there. It helps in better germination of seed, increases root vigor, improves crop establishment there by increasing yield. So, Seed priming has the capacity to close the gap between potential yield an actual yield.

Cumin is one of the highly demanded and most valued spices commodities. This crop can be cultivated in Rabi season where frost-free winter prevails in the semi-arid region of Nepal. Its seeds are nutritious with several culinary uses and high medicinal value. Despite of favourable climate and topography for the cultivation of cumin in Nepal it is still not cultivated. This is because of unavailability of quality seeds, registered varieties and lack of knowledge on cultivation practices. Cumin is ahighly economical crop with simple management practices and low input cost. Few researches has been conducted, limiting the ideas of production technology and comparative advantages of cumin. National research institutions should focus on the research of Cumin and separate zone should be established under national projects. The extension agencies like the Minis the Ministry of Agriculture & cooperatives should train local farmers on the cultivation practices and high economic return of Cumin cultivation.

Published: January 2024

Potato tuber moth, (Phthorimaea operculella Zeller) is one of the most destructive pests of potato damaging the potato tuber in the storage condition leading to huge loss of potato tubers. An experiment was conducted to assess the effects of different treatments for the management of potato tuber moths in storage conditions in Kavre, Nepal. The experiment was conducted in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with seven different treatments and three replications. The treatments were T1 (control), T2 (Artemesia vulgaris), T3 (Lantana camara), T4 (Mentha arvensis), T5 (Eucalyptus), T6 (Malathion), and T7 (Emamectin benzoate). Tuber treated with Malathion before storage showed least infection percentage and severity caused by PTM. In botanicals, Lantana camara seemed more effective than Mentha arvensis, Eucalyptus, and Artemesia vulgaris. Tuber rot caused by PTM was found to be least in tubers treated with Malathion, Emamectin benzoate, and Lantana camara in storage. Analyzing all the parameters, eco-friendly management of PTM can be done by using the weed Lantana camara. Chemical pesticides are to be used only on seed tubers that need to be stored for a really long time. Seed tubers treated with various botanicals may also protect tubers from PTM infestation during storage, albeit for a shorter period of time. The most potent plant found was Lantana camara.

A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY FOR LATE BLIGHT MANAGEMENT IN POTATO AND TOMATO
Authors: Bista Samarth , Adhikari Anjela
Published: January 2024

Late blight is a highly destructive disease primarily affecting potato (Solanum tuberosum) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and some other closely related crops such as aubergine, pepper, solanaceous weeds such as nightshade species, wild tomato etc. This disease is caused by fungus-like organism oomycetes also known as water mold called Phytophthora infestans. Whereas early blight of potato and tomato are caused by fungus Alternaria solani and Alternaria tomatophila respectively. Heinrich Anton De Bary, the father of modern plant pathology studied the epidemics of Late Blight in 1863 and renamed the causal organism Phytophthora infestans (infectious plant destroyer). The disease is severe in areas with high humidity and rainfall and spreads through wind, rain, or contaminated plant material capable of causing entire crop failure if left uncontrolled. Late blight affects foliage, fruit, and tuber and its symptoms include dark, water-soaked lesions on the stem, leaves, and fruit which can rapidly develop into brown, necrotic areas ultimately leading to plant death. Control measures for late blight includes crop rotation, the use of resistant varieties and the application of fungicides. However, the emergence of more virulent strains of Phytophthora infestans and the development of resistance to fungicide application pose ongoing challenges to effective disease management. This paper reviews the current knowledge on management strategies for late blight focusing on integrated disease management approaches. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects of integrated management strategies are discussed.

In these days, railway transport is one of the most often used kind of transport of people and goods for shorter as well as longer distances. This is not only in many European countries, but also in other part of the world. Day by day people commute to work and to home by railway transport means, such as subway systems, light rail transits as well as by other kinds of railway transport means. The railway transport has several advantages, which make it effective, reliable, and sustainable in comparison with other kinds of transport [1]. On one hand, there are rail vehicles, which are powered from power line. On the other hand, there are rail vehicles, which has own source of power. The rail vehicles of the first group are called as dependent traction vehicles. The rail vehicles, which belong to the second group, are called independent traction vehicles. It is so-called a diesel multiple unit (abbr. DMU), it is a multiple-unit train, and it is powered by an on-board diesel engine. An DMU does not need to include a separate locomotive, therefore, an engine is incorporated into one or even in more of wagons. There is usually applied a diesel combustion engine, but, nowadays, some other alternative sources of energy are tested [2-4]. These diesel-powered single unit railway vehicles are further classified depending on their transmission type. In principle, there are recognized following types of DMUs: diesel mechanical multiple unit (abbr. DMMU), diesel-hydraulic multiple unit (abbr. DHMU) and diesel-electric multiple unit (abbr. DEMU).

Recently, railway transport means can be divided to two main groups depending on the source of the energy. Although dependent traction rail vehicles are more and more popular and many European countries endeavour to build new and new track form them, they cannot operate in every corner of the country [1, 2]. There are regions of countries, where the building of track with electrical network is it is not worth it, it is too difficult or there are other reasons not to not to expand the electrical network for electric rail vehicles [3, 4]. Independent traction rail vehicles are nowadays the most known as train units.

Virtuální realita je poměrně známý pojem, pod kterým si lze představit velkou škálu zobrazovacích technologií a možností sdílení informací. I přes desetiletí vývoje těchto technologií se k jejich využití průmyslové společnosti často dostávají až v současnosti, případně o jejich zavedení zatím neuvažují. Tomu přispívá jednak jiný přístup k užívaní tohoto prostředí, ale také cena a pochyby o případném přínosu.I přes určitou skepsi, nelze vyloučit, že si virtuální realita dříve, či později v některých svých formách najde cestu do průmyslové sféry a stane se běžnou formou podoby návrhů konstrukcí, montáží, servisu apod. Pro tyto případy je více než vhodné, aby byli na trhu práce kvalifikovaní odborníci znalí v oboru. V tomto duchu bylo uvažováno při vzniku laboratoře virtuální reality na Fakultě strojní ČVUT v Praze. Na některé základní aspekty virtuální reality, využití, specifika použití, ale také zkušenosti z provozu a s tím spojená úskalí, je zaměřen tento říspěvek.

The efficiency of functioning of the transport industry necessitates the introduction of modern vehicles. Since the main segment of the transportation process is allocated to rail transport, the creation of modern wagon designs must be subject to special requirements. This applies in particular to their load-bearing structures. When designing the load-bearing structures of modern wagons, it is necessary to take into account the specified values of loads that can act on them not only when operating on main tracks, but also in combined railway-ferry transportation. This direction is quite relevant for many European countries that have access to international traffic through water areas of the seas.

The article presents the results of determining the dynamic load of the improved cover of an open wagon under operational conditions. The peculiarity of the manhole cover is that the canvas is formed by the upper and lower sheets, between which, there is an energy-absorbing material with viscous properties. The dynamic load of the cover when a load of 150 kg falls on it was studied. It was determined, that the use of energy-absorbing material contributes to the reduction of the cover load by 21 % compared to a typical original design. The main indicators of the dynamics of an open wagon equipped with improved manhole covers are calculated. The results of the calculations showed that the studied dynamic indicators are within the permissible limits. The conducted studies will contribute to the reduction of damage to manhole covers during operation and the cost of maintaining one wagons.

A Second-life Battery Storage Systems are a promising direction of how to optimize costs in modern smart grids. although they may help to reduce costs, they represent very sensitive components which imposes a high demand on their design and control. A promising direction is so called ”digital twin” approach where particular sub-systems are designed and optimized in a simulations or co-simulations without the need to nvest in to the real hardware. Such mathematical models are usually quite complex due to highly nonlinear nature of the system and they require a high degree of understanding of the problem to successfully implement them. In this paper we deal with the design of thermal mathematical description of the battery storage system as a building block of the overall mathematical model. Specifically, we focus on simple implementation and low complexity while achieving sufficient precision of the model. Proposed model was verified in simulations using real measured data.
Technology of producing bionutrients based on activated coprolites and evaluation of their effectiveness
Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, SHIROKOV YURIY А.
Published: January 2024

The production of bionutrients in the conditions of industrial production and agricultural enterprises requires the development of technology and a production line for the production of bionutrients of stable quality without the use of chemical reagents. To this end, the authors have developed a technology and a technological line for the production of bionutrients based on the processing of animal waste into coprolites and the use of cavitation to increase their biological efficiency. The article presents the methodology and technological scheme of the production of bionutrients. The technology and the obtained bionutrient ABT-Plant were tested in the Belgorod region on sugar beet LMS-94. In the control sample, the seeds were moistened with water. In four variants, ABT-Plant bionutrient was treated: in the fi rst - seeds; in the second - spraying of vegetative sugar beet plants in the phase of 6-8 real leaves (20 g·t-1); in the third - spraying of vegetative plants (15 g·ha-1) before closing the leaves in the row spacing of sugar beet; in the fourth - seed treatment (20 g·t-1) and spraying of vegetative plants (15 g·ha-1) before closing the leaves in the row spacing of sugar beet. The positive eff ect of the bionutrient ABT-Plant on the productivity of sugar beet has been established. The best results were achieved when the ABT-Plant preparation was used twice during seed treatment (20 g·t-1) and the vegetation period of plants in the phase of closing beet leaves in row spacing (15 g·ha-1) provided an increase in the yield of sugar beet of 3.5 t·ha-1. The sugar content of sugar beet increased by 5.5-6% compared to the control, the sugar harvest by 0.85 t/ha or by 11.2%.
Methodology of evaluating rejects: inspection of crankshaft main journals in repair production
Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, Temasova G.N. 
Published: January 2024

Both the actual size of the part and measurement errors influence the results of tolerance control in repair production. For this purpose, the authors developed the mathematical model of reject estimation by probabilistic characteristics of parts sorting, taking into account the specifics of repair production and the shift of the distribution centre relative to the tolerance field. They tested and evaluated the mathematical model of rejects estimation at machining for repair size of crankshaft main journals of the YaMZ‑238 engines. In case of incorrect rejection and incorrect acceptance of main bearing journals, the character of reject losses will be different. Incorrectly rejected crankshafts with journals having irreparable rejects will be sent for recycling. New crankshafts will be purchased to replace them, and there will be reject losses to the left of the scatter zone. Incorrectly rejected crankshafts with journals that have reparable rejects will be sent for remanufacturing. In this case, the loss per crankshaft is determined by the cost of rework, which is the loss to the right of the scatter zone. Incorrect crankshafts with journals having defects to the left and right of the scatter zone will be sent for reassembly. If the largest size limit is exceeded, the liners may rotate and the engine must be rebuilt, which increases losses significantly. In case of violation of the lower size limit, the shaft life will be reduced and losses will occur only for the consumer. In contrast to the existing methodology for calculating the sorting parameters, where the scatter zone coincides with the middle of the tolerance field, the developed methodology for assessing rejects when the scatter zone is displaced relative to the tolerance allowed to form a more differentiated and refined methodological approach to the assessment of losses in disassembly of parts when performing machining operations in repair production.
Heat recovery plant: ways to improve energy efficiency
Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, SHEVKUN NIKOLAY A.
Published: January 2024

One of the ways to reduce the cost of heating production facilities in animal husbandry is the use of regenerative heat recovery plants. However, the existing designs of heat exchangers have a number of design flaws affecting their functionality, in particular, the uneven distribution of the air flow over the surface of a heat exchanger. This, in turn, does not provide for a more complete utilization of exhaust air heat. Using the example of a recuperative heat recovery unit UT‑3000, the authors consider the possibility of retrofitting it with an aerodynamic grid to evenly distribute the exhaust air flow over the heat exchanger surface and reduce energy costs for its operation. To do this, they analyzed the applicability of the aerodynamic grid. The size of a blade chord was taken into account as an optimisation parameter. The pressure losses calculated on the “fan - pallet - heat exchanger” section showed that the use of an aerodynamic grid with a “normal” number of blades would create a minimum airflow pressure loss of 0.73 Pa minimum airflow pressure loss of 0.73 Pa, which is 58% less than in the version without an aerodynamic grid. Further experimental study of the uniform airflow distribution over the heat exchanger surface aimed at improving the energy efficiency of the heat recovery unit requires a new design of a heat exchanger with an aerodynamic grid, taking into account the recommended range of “normal” number of blades from 16 to 21, the blade circumference arc of 95° and the blade pitch angle ranging between 68 and 82°.

Lighting of livestock buildings affects the productivity of animals. The system of artificial LED lighting provides the reduction of energy costs in the livestock production at agro-industrial enterprises. A mathematical model is presented to substantiate the parameters of the system of artificial LED lighting of livestock premises. The system of artificial LED lighting should provide regulation of illumination depending on breed and light perception channels of an animal, use control programs of radiation spectrum and illumination duration. The results of mathematical analysis determined that illuminance, uniformity of illumination in livestock premises and power consumption of the LED system depends on the mounting height of lighting devices, as well as the type of light intensity curve, which are determined by the geometric features of LED lighting devices. The emission spectrum is determined by the type of LED light sources, while the duration and periodicity of the daylight hours is provided by the LED software devices. The development of new design solutions of lighting devices will increase the livestock productivity and reduce energy costs.

Published: January 2024

Low efficiency of equipment for heat treatment, disinfection and removal of unpleasant odour of substandard mucous by-products urges the development of an installation that provides for the complex effect of ultra-high frequency electromagnetic field, ozone and bactericidal flow of ultraviolet rays. The paper presents the technology and describes the installation developed by the authors. The installation ensures electromagnetic safety and uniformity of loading according to the penetration depth of the wave. The duration of raw material treatment is matched with the specific power of the microwave generator, the power of the lamps and with the rotation frequency of the compartment disc. The electric field strength has been studied in the CST Microwave Studio program. The developed installation contains a resonator in the form of a flattened spheroid with diameters of the main axes multiple of half the wavelength. Magnetrons are placed on the upper surface of the spheroid along the perimeter. On the inner surface of the spheroid, where there are corona needles, ring electro-gas-discharge lamps powered from pulsed modeled high-frequency generators are uniformly installed along the perimeter through the gap. The source of radiation in the bactericidal lamp is an electric discharge in a mixture of mercury vapour and argon. A fluoroplastic perforated disc is installed at the level of the large diameter of the spheroid, on which mucous by-products are treated. The conducted research shows that the intrinsic factor of quality of the spheroid resonator is 9000. The heat treatment and disinfection of raw materials is most effective at the plant productivity of 50 kg/h, electric field strength of 3 to 4 kV/cm, disc rotation frequency of 0.17 to 0.2 rpm and a specific power of the microwave generator of 1.2 W/g. Power consumption amounted to 6.6 kW, while energy costs were 0.132 kW∙h/kg.

The tasks of intellectual education are determined based on students’ intelligence, the level of their compliance with the requirements of professional activity. The authors conducted an empirical study of the peculiarities of mental experience of agricultural engineering students to assess the development of operational characteristics of thinking, determine the relationship between the parameters of intelligence and the level of self-regulation, the correlation of empirical data with the criteria of intellectual education. The study involved 97 students of the Institute of Mechanics and Power Engineering named after V.P. Goryachkin of Russian State Agrarian University - Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy. The results of the empirical study demonstrated a direct relationship between the levels of development of thinking operations and components of volitional regulation of activity. The peculiarity of intellectual development of future agricultural engineers is insufficient formation of a number of intellectual skills, which hinders the formation of intellectual qualities of a professional. To ensure effective and successful engineering activity of graduates (training area 35.03.06 Agroengineering), it is necessary to expand students’ outlook, enrich general mental experience and form a set of professional knowledge, as well as train basic thinking operations.

Youth Narratives of Moderate Islam: Study of Islamic Philosophy For Indonesian Millennials
Authors: Kanafi Imam , Bakhri Syamsul
Published: January 2024

This study seeks to understand the narratives of Islam that have developed among Muslim millennials in Indonesia, who have commonly been targeted for recruitment by radical groups. Youths, who are in the process of self-actualization, are easily influenced to adopt mindsets that run contrary to Pancasila—the national philosophy—when they are exposed to narratives that promote intolerance and radicalism. The Islamic experiences and narratives of Indonesian Muslim millennials will shape their activities and knowledge. This study deals with three aspects of the Islamic narratives that have emerged amongst Muslim Millennials in Indonesia: the sources of these narratives, the understandings of moderatism and ideal Muslimhood that have emerged, and the responses to moderate Islamic narratives. Using a phenomenological approach, this qualitative research finds that Islamic narratives to which millennials are exposed convey diverse messages—some radical, some liberal, and some moderate. These millennials receive these narratives from pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), teachers, prayer groups, books, and social media. Millennial Muslims in Indonesia tend to idealize moderate leaders over Salafi ones, and all support the propagation of moderate Islamic narratives.
Fear and Hunting Cooperation's Impact on the Eco-Epidemiological Model's Dynamics
Authors: Fakhry Nabaa Hassain , Naji Raid Kamel
Published: January 2024

Due to the fact that living organisms do not exist individually, but rather exist in clusters interacting with each other, which helps to spread epidemics among them. Therefore, the study of the prey-predator system in the presence of an infectious disease is an important topic because the disease affects the system's dynamics and its existence. The presence of the hunting cooperation characteristic and the induced fear in the prey community impairs the growth rate of the prey and therefore affects the presence of the predator as well. Therefore, this research is interested in studying an eco-epidemiological system that includes the above factors. Therefore, an eco-epidemiological prey-predator model incorporating predation fear and cooperative hunting is built and examined. It is considered that the disease in the predator is of the SIS kind, which means that the infected predator can recover and become susceptible through medical treatment. All possible equilibrium points have been found. The solution's positivity and boundedness are examined. Local and global stability analyses are performed. The uniform persistence conditions are established. The local bifurcation around the equilibrium points is studied. Finally, numerical simulation is performed to validate the obtained results and comprehend the parameter impact on system dynamics.

Competencias TIC desde la perspectiva de los docentes del programa de cogestión de centros educativos
Authors: Rincón Guzmán Lidia , Montás García María , Grullón Ángel Gabriel , Cedeño Sebastian
Published: January 2024

De las tendencias actuales sobre reformas educativas surgen nexos con el desarrollo tecnológico que demandan al docente competencias tecnológicas para el adecuado desempeño de su rol. A raíz de este planteamiento, surge el presente estudio, en el cual se analizaron las competencias digitales de los docentes desde su propia percepción. El enfoque metodológico es cuantitativo, no experimental de tipo descriptivo y de corte transversal, con una población que corresponde a 444 docentes de la República Dominicana. El muestreo fue probabilístico, aleatorio, estratificado y de afijación proporcional, conformado por 207 participantes. La técnica fue la encuesta y se diseñó un cuestionario ad hoc constituido por 65 ítems, cuyos datos fueron analizados a través del software de estadística descriptiva SPSS V26. Los resultados indican que los docentes poseen competencias TIC referentes a los conocimientos tecnológicos y pedagógicos que abarcan tanto la búsqueda de información como la colaboración. No obstante, en la dimensión ética, legal y de seguridad de datos los resultados son más bajos.
Perspectivas sobre la formación inicial de docentes para la educación inclusiva
Authors: Serna Jaramillo Adriana Juliet , Serna Jaramillo Elizabeth
Published: January 2024

República Dominicana, como país miembro de las Naciones Unidas, se sumó en el año 2015 a la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible, cuyo cuarto objetivo apuesta por la garantía de una educación inclusiva, equitativa y de calidad donde se promuevan oportunidades de aprendizaje para todos a lo largo de la vida. Ahora bien, para lograr este objetivo se requiere voluntad política y ajustes en los planes de formación de maestros. En tal sentido, este estudio pretende analizar las reflexiones expuestas sobre la formación docente en República Dominicana desde un enfoque de inclusión. El diseño metodológico se centra en un paradigma cualitativo, se entrevistaron 40 docentes y 5 directivos de centros educativos del municipio de San Juan de la Maguana en República Dominicana. El análisis de los resultados permitió evidenciar que la mayoría de los docentes en servicio no recibieron orientación sobre la educación inclusiva durante su formación de grado, aunque han participado de oportunidades de formación continua sobre este tema. Los participantes reconocen vacíos conceptuales que les impiden fundamentar teóricamente sus prácticas y es su motivo para hacer un llamado a fortalecer los planes de estudio en las Instituciones de Educación Superior, de manera que se pueda contar con las herramientas para favorecer procesos de aprendizaje para todos y la eliminación de barreras para el aprendizaje.

Tea in the Era of Tang, Five Dynasties, and Ten Kingdoms viewed through Zizhi Tongjian
Authors:   The Korean Tea Society, Kim Dae-Young
Published: January 2024

This study examined the meaning of tea in the governance of the Northern Song period through an analysis of tea-related contents contained in Zizhi Tongjian, a Chinese history book compiled by Sima Guang under the order of Emperor Yingzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. As the title suggests, this book was compiled to help govern by taking history as a mirror. The description of good and evil was covered and described clearly to be easily read and referenced as the emperor's textbook. Only the contents necessary for governance were strictly selected and summarized to reduce the length. Tea-related articles were included in Zizhi Tongjian because tea was an important commodity in governance. The tax system for tea was dealt with in the Tang period, and the tea industry, including trade, was promoted in the era of the Five Kingdoms. This is because Sima Guang thought that the proper use of the economic value of tea politically and militarily would help governance.
Location of Tea Tools in Japan's Cultural Property Designation System
Authors:   The Korean Tea Society, Park Seiyeon
Published: January 2024

In the Japanese tea ceremony, tea tool science has been systematized enough to become a specialized academic field. Therefore, the evaluation and classification of tea utensils are also delicate. On the other hand, the artistic evaluation of the tea ceremony in Japan is not necessarily shared with art historians and historians. Japan has designated its cultural properties of high artistic, historical, and academic value as important cultural properties and national treasures. The process of designating cultural properties must involve a council consisting of professional degree holders. Therefore, one can see the evaluation that tea utensils receive in Japanese art history by analyzing the current status of tea utensils designated as important cultural properties. The results show that under the current Japanese system, there is a slight difference between the evaluation of tea utensils by academia and the evaluation of tea ceremonies. Nevertheless, as can be seen in some cases, there are also places where the tea ceremony aesthetics can be understood.
