Insecticide label claims are important sources of information for the farmers and the agro input dealers who sell them. They provide information about the active ingredients, mode of action, target pests, dosage, application method, safety precautions and environmental impact of the insecticides. However, the awareness level of the agro input dealers about these label claims is not well known. This study aimed to assess the awareness level of 120 agro-input dealers in Beed district of Maharashtra state, India, about the insecticide label claims and their toxicity labels. The study also examined the relationship between the profile of the agro input dealers and their awareness level, and identified the constraints and suggestions of the agro-input dealers regarding the insecticide label claims. The study used a structured questionnaire to collect data from the respondents through personal interview method. The data were analysed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and correlation coefficient. The results showed that the majority of the agro-input dealers had low to medium level of awareness about the insecticide label claims and their toxicity labels. The profile variables such as age, education, experience, training and membership in association had significant positive correlation with their awareness level. The major constraints faced by the agro input dealers were lack of training, inadequate display of label claims, complex language of label claims and low literacy level of farmers. The major suggestions given by the agro input dealers were to provide regular training, simplify the language of label claims, increase the font size and colour contrast of label claims and educate the farmers about the importance of label claims.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) can help farmers access the information they need. Nowadays, an array of ICTs tools and projects are available not only in urban areas but in rural areas also. However effective utilization of ICTs for accessing agricultural information by the farmers is the major concern as generally, people use them more for entertainment and time passing. To what extent the farmers are using the ICTs in accessing agriculture information is fundamental for redesigning the agricultural development projects integrating the ICTs. Keeping this in view, the study was undertaken to ascertain the extent of the use of ICTs for accessing agricultural information by the farmers of South Gujarat. The study was carried out in the Valsad and Navsari districts of Gujarat for 120 farmers. Multistage random sampling was adopted for the selection of respondents. An Ex-post-facto research design was used for the study. Results of the study indicated that the majority (62.50 percent) of the respondents had a moderate level of extent of utilization of ICTs followed by 19.17 and 18.33 percent of them had high and low extent of utilization, respectively. Out of the 14 factors studied, education, extension participation, training received, mass media exposure, information source accessibility, innovativeness, social participation, and economic motivation were found positively and highly significantly correlated with the extent of use of ICTs.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: Addressing the current demographic development, the efficacy and safety of kidney transplantations from very senior donors needs to be carefully evaluated. The aim of this study was to analyse patient and graft outcomes of kidney allograft recipients stratified by donor age.
METHODS: We retrospectively investigated n = 491 patients from a prospective, observational renal transplant cohort. Patients with kidneys from very old donors (n = 75, aged >70 years), elderly donors (n = 158, between 60–70 years), and regular donors (n = 258, aged <60 years) were investigated. The primary outcome was death-censored graft survival within the predefined donor age groups.
RESULTS: Overall, n = 57 death-censored graft losses occurred. Graft loss was proportionally highest in the very old donor group (n = 11/75), but this did not reach statistical significance when compared to the elderly (14/158) and regular donor groups (32/258); (p = 0.37). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that 3-year/5-year death-censored graft survival in the very old donor group was 96%/86% and did not differ from the other age groups (p = 0.44). Median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula (in ml/min/1.73 m2 of body surface) 12 months post-transplant did not differ between the elderly donor and very old donor groups (p = 0.53). However, patients who received regular donor kidneys had higher median eGFR compared to recipients in both the elderly and very old donor groups (p <0.0001). During follow-up, 31% of patients developed at least one acute rejection episode. Time-to-event analysis demonstrated no difference in occurrence of any acute rejection event across all three groups (p = 0.11).
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that kidney transplantation from carefully selected very old donors seems a valid option with reasonable short- and mid-term outcomes.

Current phenotypic techniques fail to reflect the full extent of the diversity of Fasciola species. Methods of diagnosis and differentiation of Fasciola species have been developed, but the understanding of the distribution and speciation of this parasite is location dependent. Therefore, it is important to characterize the Fasciola species from different geographical locations. This research was conducted to genetically characterize bovine Fasciola species from cattle brought for slaughter at Birnin Kebbi Modern Abattoir. Faecal samples were collected from the cattle before slaughter and were microscopically examined using two methods of Parasitological examinations (Flukefinder® Kit and formalin-ether sedimentation). Positive faecal samples were subjected to molecular detection method of PCR and sequencing of the products. The obtained sequence was subjected to BLAST and phylogenetic analysis was conducted to determine the Fasciola species prevalent in the area. The PCR results have detected Fasciola spp while the phylogenetic analysis have confirmed the species of liver fluke to be Fasciola gigantica. This have intensified the understanding of the existence of the parasite in the study area and have also provided the genetic diversity of F. gigantica. There is need for further research to compare Fasciola isolates from other livestock in order to determine the exact species infecting animals in the study area.

Identification and Management of Technical Debt
Authors: Murillo María Isabel , López Gustavo , Spínola Rodrigo , Guzmán Julio , Rios Nicolli , Pacheco Alexia
Published: August 2023

Technical debt is a concept used to describe the lack of good practices during software development, leading to several problems and costs. Identification and management strategies can help reduce these difficulties. In a previous study, Alves et al. (2016) analyzed the research landscape of such strategies from 2010 to 2014. This paper replicates and updates their study to explore the evolution of technical debt identification and management research landscape over a decade, including literature from 2010 until 2022. We analyzed 117 papers from the ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, and Springer Link. Newly suggested strategies include automatically identifying admitted debt in comments, commits, and source code. Between 2015 and 2022, more empirical evaluations have been performed, and the general research focus has changed to a more holistic approach. Therefore, the research area evolved and reached a new level of maturity compared to previous results from Alves et al. (2016). Not only are code aspects considered for technical debt, but other aspects have also been investigated (e.g., models for the development process).

Magneto Rheological Fluid (MRF) damper has been opted as a promising semi active element of advanced suspension system. This work focuses on the damping nature of magnetorheological fluid under the influence of a magnetic field strength, size and shape of the of the iron oxide particles. A reduced scale single degree of freedom quarter car model with two stage magnetorheological damper, viscosity measurement setup, synthesized and commercially available Fe2O3 powders are used for the experimental study. An air cooled electro-dynamic shaker, Data acquisition system, accelerometers and the Lab view software acquires and analyzes the response of the quarter car model. X-ray Diffraction and Scanning electron microscopy characterize the morphology of iron oxide particles. The vertical acceleration, the displacement, the transmissibility ratio and the damping characteristics are analyzed based on the response of the top plate at different frequencies of base excitation. The results show that the magnetorheological fluid made with nano iron oxide powder has better damping characteristics than that of micron sized iron oxide powder
Über die Tugend
Authors: von Aquin Thomas , Eckhart Meister
Published: August 2023

The doctrines of virtue elaborated by Thomas Aquinas and Meister Eckhart, which used to be prominent in medieval Europe, are often disregarded today. This is unfortunate since the thoughts of these two theologians are highly illuminating for many discussions in virtue ethics today. This book presents pivotal passages from Thomas’s and Eckhart’s works, both in their original language and in new or revised German translations. Both approaches are examined in detail, compared to each other and discussed in relation to modern perspectives by renowned experts in the field. This book will appeal to all those interested in the ethics of either Thomas Aquinas and Eckhart or in virtue ethics in general.

Forschungen und Materialien zur deutschen Aufklärung / Die Bestimmung des Menschen (1748-1800)
Authors: Macor Laura Anna
Published: August 2023

Die 'Bestimmung des Menschen' ist ein zentraler Begriff der Aufklärung, und das vornehmlich in theologischer, moralphilosophischer und geschichtsphilosophischer Hinsicht. Mendelssohn, Kant, Herder, Schiller, Spalding und Fichte sind nur einige der Gelehrten, die in ihren Schriften auf prägnante Weise auf diesen Begriff zurückgreifen. Von 1748 bis 1800 durchläuft der Begriff der Bestimmung des Menschen eine außerordentlich erfolgreiche Karriere, von der wichtige Impulse sogar für die Genese von Kants Transzendentalphilosophie ausgehen. Dennoch steht eine vollständige Nachzeichnung dieses Schlüsselbegriffs noch aus. Ziel des vorliegenden Bandes ist es, diesem Desiderat zu entsprechen. Umfassende Register erschließen den Band und machen diese Begriffsgeschichte zu einem unumgänglichen Arbeitsinstrument für die Geistesgeschichte des 18. Jahrhunderts.
Die Theorie des natürlichen Gesetzes bei Francisco de Vitoria. Francisco de Vitoria on Natural Law
Authors: Spindler Anselm
Published: August 2023

Moralische Autonomie – also die Idee, dass der Mensch selbst der Ursprung der Gesetze der Moral ist – gilt, einer weithin unangefochtenen Auffassung über die Geschichte der Moralphilosophie zufolge, als eine Erfindung der Neuzeit. Entsprechend wurde Francisco de Vitorias (ca. 1483–1546) Theorie des natürlichen Gesetzes bisher stets als eine vermeintlich ›typisch mittelalterliche‹ Grundlegung der Moral in der Natur oder im Willen Gottes interpretiert. Dagegen zeigt Spindler auf, dass Vitoria das natürliche Gesetz als Gesetz der praktischen Vernunft versteht und sich damit gegen ›typisch mittelalterliche‹ Theorien des natürlichen Gesetzes wendet: Autonomie ist für Vitoria der einzig mögliche Grund einer universellen Moral.
Jacob Böhme in seiner Zeit
Authors: van Ingen Ferdinand
Published: August 2023

Die Darstellung des bekannten Germanisten und Böhme-Kenners van Ingen will das Bild des Visionärs und ›Wundermannes‹ Jacob Böhme (1575–1624), das im Prinzip auf den Zeitgenossen Franckenberg zurückgeht, sowie das fast ausschließlich philosophiegeschichtliche Bild, wie es in den bis heute prägenden Publikationen von Hans Grunsky (1984) und Siegfried Wollgast (1988) vorherrscht, durch ein kirchengeschichtliches Panorama mit Blick auf Nachwirkungen der Reformation in Schlesien (Schwenckfeld, Weigel u.a.) und eine Behandlung von Einzelaspekten der damaligen Diskussion (Himmel, Sünde, das Böse) erweitern bzw. ersetzen. Dadurch wird das Interesse auf Zusammenhänge gelenkt, die Böhmes Gestalt und Wirken in seiner Zeit mit Bezug auf von Luther abweichende religiöse Strömungen beleuchten und ihn schärfer profilieren dürften.
Kritik der symbolischen Formen II
Authors: Steineck Raji C.
Published: August 2023

Mythen sind bis heute ein wirkmächtiger Bestandteil menschlicher Kultur. Gegen ihre Einschätzung als archaisches Residuum durch die Moderne knüpft das vorliegende Buch an Ernst Cassirers Konzeption des Mythos als symbolischer Form an. Es analysiert exemplarisch die Mythologien des japanischen Altertums, wie sie in den Reichs-Chroniken ›Kojiki‹ und ›Nihonshoki‹, in Gedichten, Gebeten (›norito‹) und Dokumenten der Schreine und Adelshäuser erhalten sind, und zeigt, wie sie im Hinblick auf ihre jeweilige Agenda ihre Gegenstände auswählen, gliedern und zu eigenen Welten zusammenfügen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Vorstellung von der Primitivität des Mythos, an der auch Cassirer noch festhielt, aufgegeben werden muss. Denn Mythologien erweisen sich als entwicklungsfähig und interagieren mit der je gegebenen Konstellation symbolischer Formen; so vermögen sie das jeweilige Weltwissen zu integrieren und sich gegen sachliche Kritik zu immunisieren. Damit gelingt ein ganz neuer und fruchtbarer Zugang zur Mythologie.

Der Kiosk
Authors: Engelbert Arthur
Published: August 2023

Since ancient Egypt, the kiosk has undergone many cultural and historical transformations. Architectural terminology still refers to a free-standing pavilion open on several sides, originally located in palace gardens, as a kiosk. From the 18th century onwards, it began to evolve from an exquisite building into a commonplace shop. It was not until the twentieth century that the kiosk finally evolved into the ordinary kiosk that we see all over the world today. But how will the kiosk develop in the future? Does the kiosk even have a future? Habilitated media scientist Arthur Engelbert answers these questions and presents a new perspective on the kiosk with the Tokyo Reading Kiosk.

Os Jogos e brincadeiras indígenas como motivação no ensino da Língua Indígena Macuxi em Roraima
Authors: Bortolon Matos Maristela , Sarmento Silveira Aldinesio
Published: August 2023

O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma breve descrição teórica sobre os jogos e brincadeiras em contexto indígena com abordagem qualitativa e descritiva. Alguns professores indígenas que lecionam a disciplina de língua indígena, nas escolas indígenas de Roraima, têm buscado estratégias para motivar as crianças na aprendizagem da língua materna, dentre as quais destaca-se os jogos e brincadeiras. Essa é uma forma prática e que contribui para o aprendizado das crianças de forma lúdica e que elas reconheçam e valorizem sua cultura tradicional. Não se pode negar que estarmos em um mundo digital, onde as pessoas estão atreladas e imersas nesse mundo virtual, por isso mesmo, precisamos buscar outras estratégias para motivar a aprendizagem das crianças, usando diversas ferramentas para a construção de materiais pedagógicos. Para que isso ocorra é necessário que os professores estejam preparados para a docência, munidos de diferentes instrumentos metodológicos. Por serem escolas indígenas, conta com o apoio dos pais e das comunidades, sempre levando em consideração o processo de ensino e aprendizagem das crianças indígenas. O ensino e aprendizagem da Língua Indígena Macuxi utilizando jogos e brincadeira, além da motivação por ser uma atividade lúdica, valoriza seus costumes tradicionais, trazendo a concepção da representatividade dos elementos culturais e dos objetos utilizados.
