Flow dynamics and tributary mouth bar formation at river confluences with high rates of tributary sediment supply
Authors: Moradi Gelare , Rennie Colin , Cardot Romain , Lane Stuart
Published: January 2024

River confluences influence the formation of secondary circulation, bed morphology, and associated feedbacks. With distance downstream through a drainage network, it becomes likely that the flow momentum of tributaries is lower than that of the main river, creating confluences with very low momentum ratio. However, the tributary may be able to supply significant quantities of sediment, especially in watersheds with high relief. High flow and sediment supply events in the tributary may decouple in time from those in the main river. The capacity of the main river to evacuate tributary-delivered sediment may occasionally be lower than the sediment delivery rate. The result is the formation of confluences with large tributary mouth bars that may influence confluence flow structures even when the tributary discharge has declined. There are no field examples measured to date for such confluences. Here, we report the first field data for three such river confluences, along the upper Rhône River, Switzerland. We combine aDcp measurements with the analysis of the provenance of sediments in the tributaries and main stem. We introduce the angular momentum ratio for confluence classification. The formation of tributary mouth bars and a scour hole was identified for the two junctions with significant tributary sediment supply. These bars were sufficient to introduce secondary circulation even at very low flow momentum ratios. The analysis of sediment provenance suggested that the origin of the bars was not necessarily the tributary but could be a consequence of the effects of the tributary upon main channel sediment routing.
The Environmental Model of Mindfulness
Authors: Meaden James
Published: January 2024

This paper introduces the environmental model of mindfulness, a novel perspective that conceptualizes mindfulness as an adaptive set of cognitive styles influenced by specific socioecological contexts. Extending upon existing conceptualizations of mindfulness as a cultivated trait or practice, the environmental model describes how mindfulness can also result from cognitive adaptations to immediate-return environments. Through an interdisciplinary synthesis of cognitive psychology, anthropology, and environmental studies, four key factors are identified that foster mindful cognitive styles in immediate-return environments: immediate feedback, observational learning, nature exposure, and interconnected self-construal. By examining Indigenous communities living in immediate-return environments, this paper demonstrates how modern, delayed-return environments may inadvertently suppress innate mindful awareness, suggesting that mindfulness practices might be attempts to recalibrate towards more natural cognitive styles. The environmental model bridges Western medical and Eastern ethical perspectives on mindfulness, offering a unifying framework that acknowledges cognitive, environmental, and cultural influences. This approach not only enriches our understanding of human cognitive functioning but also broadens cultural perspectives on mindfulness, highlighting its manifestations across diverse sociocultural contexts. The model has profound implications for mindfulness research and interventions, providing a foundation for more ecologically valid and culturally sensitive approaches to fostering well-being. It invites a fundamental reconsideration of the relationship between human cognition and the environment, potentially revolutionizing our approach to mental health and cognitive enhancement in an increasingly complex world. This paper stands as a call to action for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to rethink fundamental assumptions about human cognition and design environments that support our innate capacity for mindful awareness.
“Well somebody has to do something!”: First Reformed and Conceptualizing Climate Crisis
Authors: Bergstrom Anders
Published: January 2024

Résumé :

La présente étude explore la manière dont le film Sur le chemin de la rédemption ( First Reformed) de Paul Schrader, sorti en 2017, fait appel au concept même du style transcendantal de Schrader pour aborder le désespoir déclenché par la crise des changements climatiques anthropocentriques. En racontant l’histoire d’un pasteur réformé qui remet sa foi en question, Sur le chemin de la rédemption laisse supposer que ce moment contemporain de crise écologique mondiale soulève de graves questions théologiques et morales qui recoupent les discours contemporains sur l’anthropocène et la postlaïcité. Sur le chemin de la rédemption, dans son style transcendantal, démontre que le cinéma est formellement en mesure d’affronter la crise existentielle des changements climatiques et peut-être même de nous encourager à agir.
Factors associated with well-being among treatment-seeking UK Veterans: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Biscoe Natasha , Murphy Dominic
Published: January 2024

LAY SUMMARY

Veterans seeking treatment for mental health problems are likely to face more than one problem. Well-being is a concept that does not rely on any mental health diagnosis or difficulty and may offer a broader way to capture mental health. In this study, 428 UK Armed Forces Veterans seeking treatment for mental health difficulties at a UK-based charity completed a survey asking about mental health and well-being. Overall, treatment-seeking Veteran well-being was associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression, physical health, problems with anger, moral injury, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and complex PTSD. Sleep problems, alcohol misuse, and loneliness were also linked with well-being scores. These associations suggest that well-being may capture Veteran health in a way that is separate from any single diagnosis, meaning outcomes for Veterans with complex needs who require a range of support can be compared. These results also highlight the relevance of positive mental health, as opposed to mental ill health.

INTERPRETANTES EM ATIVIDADES DE MODELAGEM MATEMÁTICA
Authors: Caruzo Ariely Aparecida , Veronez Michele Regiane Dias
Published: January 2024

A partir do entendimento de que a Modelagem Matemática está associada à busca por uma solução para um problema e que, nessa busca, é requerido o uso de um conjunto de procedimentos, trazemos uma discussão em torno de duas atividades de modelagem matemática que foram desenvolvidas no âmbito de um projeto de Iniciação Científica, o qual se fundamenta na ideia de que a integração de recursos tecnológicos à Modelagem Matemática para além de favorecer mobilização de conhecimentos diversos, promove geração de signos. São sobre esses signos, produzidos ao longo de atividades de modelagem matemática, que direcionamos o nosso olhar. Contudo, a nossa interpretação sobre signo segue apoiada na teoria semiótica peirceana; de que o signo é algo que representa alguma coisa a alguém. Para discutir acerca de aspectos relacionados a tal produção de signos (interpretantes), mediada pela tecnologia, evidenciamos os signos (interpretantes) que seguem atrelados ao exercício de busca por uma resposta para o problema em estudo. Como resultados inferimos que os interpretantes produzidos manifestam (des)conhecimentos e ganham conotações diferentes (imediato, dinâmico e final), sempre relacionados ao que representam ou provocam no intérprete.

The peculiarities of strategic management of enterprises under martial law have investigated in article. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities, problems and alternative directions of the strategic development of domestic enterprises in the conditions of martial law. The main tasks of the research are: disclosure of the theoretical foundations of strategic management, substantiation of specific directions for their improvement, taking into account the modern realities of war and alternatives for their strategic development

The definition of strategic management is given and its importance for achieving market success and competitiveness in the conditions of long-term development is emphasized. Strategic management requires the ability to forecast and model the market situation, develop alternative strategies and assess the potential of the company and the market. Attention is drawn to the fact that the conditions of martial law significantly limit the possibilities of enterprises in the field of development, obtaining investments and effective functioning. In this regard, the tasks of finding methods of adapting strategic management to unpredictable events, threats and permanent changes are being updated.

According to the market research presented in the article, in the context of martial law, enterprises face various challenges, such as a decrease in demand, an increase in costs, a decrease in labor productivity, and others. It is noted that the tools for solving these problems can be business relocation and reorientation to the production of actual goods.

Issues of relocation of enterprises and their repurposing as adaptive strategies for business survival in war conditions are considered. Implementation of the business relocation program, which made it possible to save a certain percentage of enterprises and jobs. It was concluded that in the conditions of war business must make effective management decisions aimed at survival, recovery and preparation for further development.

In the conditions of war, the key tasks for the enterprise are to ensure survival in the market, the preservation of personnel as the most valuable resource, and the creation of reserves for adaptation. Along with this, it is important to develop key strategic orientations and options for business development under various scenarios of the end of the war.
PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF THE CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IMPLEMENTATION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE DOMESTIC BANKING SECTOR)
Authors: Shymanska Oksana , Hdal Ivan
Published: January 2024

In modern economics, both at the global and national level, there is a paradigm shift from exclusively market values to the values of socio-economic development, which prompts businesses to take into account the principles of corporate social responsibility (CSR), which represents a voluntary response to social problems, the fulfillment of moral and ethical requirements formed by society. Companies, realizing the advantages of a socially proactive position, are increasingly involved in solving social and environmental problems on a systemic basis, thereby strengthening their own reputation and positive image. This is especially relevant for banking institutions that are characterized by unstable functioning. The profitability of banks today is determined not only by their technological level in terms of providing services, however increasingly by their "profile" in the social environment, the foundation of which is reputation and compliance with the principles of social responsibility, which, at the same time, play the role of triggers in the formation of the foundation of trust in banking institutions. According to the results of the research, it was found that CSR practices implemented by Ukrainian banks are generally aimed at integrating the principles of social responsibility into corporate policy and the strategy of social investment growth in accordance with the interests of both internal and external stakeholders. Despite the fact that socially responsible business in the domestic banking sector is characterized by multifaceted implementation directions, banks generally use social and environmental CSR models, which mostly reflect the types of social support. The largest banks resort to a variable approach in the implementation of CSR initiatives that have an impact on various aspects of society. Other banks tend to use either an extensive system of corporate social responsibility, or choose one line of work, implementing it in full. CSR in the domestic banking sector is currently in its infancy, as its implementation requires business excellence and targeted balance.

Tutunamayanlar Romanı Üzerine Lacanyen Psikanaliz Perspektifinden Bir İnceleme
Authors: TÜRK KIVANÇ Deniz , KARAŞ Hakan
Published: January 2024

Oğuz Atay’ın Tutunamayanlar romanı çok katmanlı yapısı ve anlatımı ile postmodern bir yapıttır. Romanın temel sorunsalını, toplum içinde kendini var edemeyen, toplumsal söylemle ve toplumun dayattığı öğretiler ile uyum sağlayamayan öznelerin içsel başkaldırışları, yaşadıkları yabancılaşma ve yaşama “tutunamamalarının” anlatısı oluşturmaktadır. Öznenin kuruluş aşamalarının bağlamı kültür içinde ve kültürel etkilerin toplamıyla oluşmaktadır. Psikanalizin epistemolojik nesnesi olan bilinçdışı öznenin oluşumu da dil aracılığıyla ele alındığı için öznenin var oluşunun kültürel söylemden bağımsız olarak ele alınması güç görünmektedir. Bilinç akışı tekniği ile yazılan romanların bilinçdışının çözümlenebilmesi açısından oldukça elverişli metinler olduğu ve karakter örüntülerini oluşturan temel unsurları anlayabilmek açısından oldukça açıklayıcı izlekler sunduğu görülmektedir. Oğuz Atay’ın Tutunamayanlar romanının kurmaca tekniği, kullandığı bilinç akışı tekniği ve oyun içinde oyun anlatımlarının psikanalitik inceleme için iyi bir kaynak olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada Tutunamayanlar romanında -simgesel düzene geçişe direnmenin getirdiği bölünme ve imgesel düzlem boyunduruğunda kalmanın yol açtığı parçalanma nedeniyle- kendilerine yabancılaşan öznelerin karakter örüntüleri ve deneyimleri Lacan’ın kuramında yer alan temel kavramlar (arzu, yabancılaşma, başka, Başka, simgesel, imgesel, gerçek) çerçevesinde ele alınarak yorumlanmıştır.
Development of the Disordered Eating Scale for Adolescents Aged 14-18
Authors: KERMEN Umut , ÜMMET Durmuş
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to develop a scale for evaluating disordered eating attitudes and behaviors among adolescents aged 14 to 18. The scale’s factor structure was examined with a total of 1379 participants, revealing 14 items and three sub-dimensions that accounted for 58.46% of the total variance. The scale demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = .86) and test-retest reliability (r = .90). Regarding criterion validity, the correlation between the Disordered Eating Scale (DES) and the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) was found to be .86. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis results indicated a sensitivity of .930 and a specificity of .91 for the ≥31 cut-off point. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted, and the model fit indexes for both applications were as follows: x2 = 287.43, df = 73, x2/df = 3.94, RMSEA = 0.079, CFI = 0.938, TLI = 0.922, and SRMR = 0.045. These findings supported the three-dimensional model, suggesting that disordered eating can be measured through restriction, weight anxiety, and extraction-control behaviors dimensions with a total of 14 items. The DES is deemed suitable for screening and evaluating negative eating behaviors and potential psychopathology in adolescents, including those with and without clinical eating disorder symptoms.

Psikotik Yapı, Baba İşlevi ve Lacanyen Kavramsallaştırma
Authors: YAKA Ali İhsan
Published: January 2024

Bu çalışmada genel olarak psikozun teşhis ve tedavi yöntemiyle ilgili on dokuzuncu yüzyılın sonlarına doğru gelişen ve global düzeyde etkili olan biyomedikal yönelimli yaklaşım ile Freud’un baba kompleksi üzerinden açıkladığı ve daha sonra Lacan’nın baba işlevi bağlamında kavramsallaştırdığı psikanalitik çalışmalar, tarihsel bağlamda karşılaştırılarak ilgili literatür çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır. Çalışmanın birinci amacı, ana akım klinik psikiyatri ve psikoloji disiplinlerinde psikozun genellikle biyomedikal olarak kavramsallaştırıldığını, ancak psikanalitik yaklaşımın temelinde yer alan sübjektivasyonun ihmal edildiğini ilgili literatür üzerinden vurgulayarak, ruh sağlığı alanında bu konunun kritik önemini psikanalitik bağlamda ortaya koymaktır. İkinci amacı, psikanalitik çalışmalara yeterince yer vermeyen ana akım klinik psikiyatri ve psikoloji disiplinlerinde göz ardı edilen Lacanyen kavramsallaştırmanın, psikozun yapısal teşhis ve tedavi süreçlerine dair özgün katkılarını ön plana çıkarmaktır. Son olarak üçüncü amacı ise Lacan’ın psikotik yapıyı açıklarken, özellikle baba işlevine atıf yapmasını ve bu konudaki topolojik yorumlarını temel alarak, Baba-nın-Adları’nın, kodlama mekanizması olarak işlev gördüğünü ve üç temel ruhsal yapının ise senkronik olarak bu kodlama yoluyla baba metaforu üzerinden oluştuğunu ileri sürmektir. Böylece, Lacan’ın ruhsal yapıların oluşumunu açıklarken kullandığı topoloji matematiği ile ilgili çalışmalarından da kısaca yararlanılarak, bu kavramsallaştırma modelinin bir grafik üzerinden açıklanması hedeflenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Lacan’ın psikotik yapıdaki kod ve mesaj fenomenlerine dair temel düzeydeki arzu grafiği üzerinden geliştirdiği topolojik yorumları ile simgesel, baba işlevi ve ruhsal yapılar arasındaki ilişkiye yönelik çalışmaları referans alınmıştır.

Published: January 2024

Access to online journals, bibliographic databases, online catalogues and the Internet have altered the traditional library usage patterns, behaviors and expectations of modern library users over the last few decades. Online searching has become the norm and users always expect Google or Wikipedia style access to the library resources. Libraries should have a mechanism for supporting these expectations and behaviors to provide a quality customer service and to fulfill their mission to support teaching, learning and research. Since 2003, the Library has provided access to many online resources. In the beginning of 2003, the IEE initiated giving access to online versions of their journals, along with print subscriptions, on a complimentary basis. Under this scheme, the Library of the University of Moratuwa gained access to 17 online journals in 2003. In year 2013, the library subscribed to 5 full text databases and 28 individual online journals and magazines. ACM Digital Library, Emerald, IEEE Explore, Grove Art Online and Science Direct are databases that are available for year 2013. Other than these subscribed electronic resources, library has introduced number of free e-journals and e-books to its users. Many surveys have been conducted to investigate library users’ acceptance and use of electronic resources (Groote & Dorch, 2001; Rusch-Feja & Siebeky, 1999). Their findings have indicated a decrease in the use of print journals suggesting online journals as the most preferred source in finding research literature. Punchihewa (2008) conducted a similar study to identify user attitudes towards online resources at the Library, University of Moratuwa. In his study, Punchihewa further analysed the obstacles that users have to face when accessing online resources. Unavailability of remote access was the prominent obstacle highlighted by many users in that study. Kiriella (2010) has stated the users’ requests to improve the facilities provided for accessing e-resources collection of the library.
Evaluation of precision nutrient tools and nutrient optimization in maize (Zea mays L.) for enhancement of growth, productivity and nutrient use efficiency

Published: January 2024

Modern agriculture relies heavily on inputs, with nutrient application being a significant cost factor and a critical driver of crop productivity. Maize, a nutrient-demanding cereal crop, necessitates precise nutrient management to enhance yields. Optimizing nutrient application in maize is essential for timely nutrient supply and improved nutrient use efficiency. Considering these facts, a field study for two consecutive years during 2021-22 and 2022-23 rabi season was conducted by considering 13 nutrient management treatments, which were replicated three times. The treatments included the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) along with its higher and lower levels in combination with nutrients prescribed by different precision nutrient management tools and the foliar application of nano urea. Among different nutrient management practices, the treatment chlorophyll content meter sufficiency index (SI)-based nitrogen management at SI 90-95% resulted in taller plant height (240 cm), leaf area (3259 cm2/plant), dry matter accumulation (2069 g/m2) and stem girth (8.1 cm) at harvest. The yield attributes such as number of cobs/ plant (1.78), number of grains/ cob (239.3), weight of cob (312 g) and number of rows/ cob (14.4) were also significantly superior to RDF with the former treatment. As a result, the treatment consisting of chlorophyll content meter sufficiency index (SI)-based nitrogen management at SI 90-95% produced significantly higher grain (7.74 t/ha), stover (12.40 t/ha) and biological yield (20.12 t/ha) as well as registered higher agronomic nutrient use efficiency. The study concludes that chlorophyll content meter sufficiency index (SI)-based nitrogen management at SI 90-95% can be adopted in maize cultivation for enhancing growth, productivity and nutrient use efficiency.

Published: January 2024

Black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) as a multipurpose durable species has found application in agroforestry in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. The deficit of J. nigra planting material is a limiting factor in increasing the area under this crop in agroforestry in arid regions. There is no or fragmentary information on the technology of cassette cultivation of black walnut in the closed ground. Juglans nigra (L.) is a large tree and favorably differs from other representatives of the genus Juglans (L.) by its longevity and ornamental character. The experiment on seed propagation was conducted at the nursery of the Nizhnevolzhskaya station, Volgograd region, Russia on selection of woody species from May 2022 to September 2023 in closed ground conditions. The optimal dates of harvesting (October) and sowing (2nd decade of May) for the southern subjects of Russia were proposed. Observance of technological aspects provides ground germination by July up to 75%, which is 6% higher. The developed regulation of agrotechnical methods (collection, storage of nuts, sowing, watering, fertilization, etc.) provides production of standard planting material (200 seedlings/m2) for one growing season.
Identification and evaluation of potential beef tomato elders for the crossing material of NIL-Sletr1-2

Published: January 2024

The beef tomato is one of the most popular and valuable tomato fruits in Indonesia. Because of this tomato consumed as fresh fruit, therefore one of the problems is fruit shelf life. Generating new cultivar with longest fruit shelf life will be a challenge such as by the crossing with NIL-Sletr1-2. A NIL Sletr1-2 line has been established in order to address this issue. However, they have never been used as breeding materials to improve the shelf life of beef tomatoes, particularly in Indonesia. The study aims to identify potential beef tomato varieties for hybridization with NIL-Sletr1-2, with an emphasis on ease of emasculation, cross-success rates, and the potential for hybrid seed production. The study was conducted in Lembang, Indonesia, at an altitude of 1250 meters above sea level, from February to September 2023. In this study, five homozygous beef tomato cultivars were crossed with the NIL strain Sletr1-2 with four replications. The results showed that hybridizing beef tomato cultivars with NIL-Sletr1-2 strains for long-shelf-life beef tomato hybrids was influenced by genetic factors. The insensitivity of NIL-Sletr1-2 strains to ethylene had a negative effect on the production of pollen. ‘Roloise’, ‘Mortgage’, and ‘Costoluto’ cultivars have high seed yield potential and are suitable for crossbreeding with NIL-Sletr1-2 strains to produce hybrid seeds.

Published: January 2024

Over the past 13 years, drip irrigation in intensive orchards has gained popularity in southern Kazakhstan. However, its impact on soil has not been studied before. Our research group conducted experiments from 2019 to 2022 in intensive orchards to study the dynamics of fertigation, the application of fertilizers through irrigation water, on soil nutrient levels. Experiments were conducted in Southern Kazakhstan at "Kentau" LLP on intensive orchards with a planting scheme of 0.8*3.5m from 2019 to 2022 with the aim of determining the dynamics of the impact of fertigation on the content of available nutrient elements in the soil. The effectiveness of traditional root feeding method was compared with fertigation (drip application of mother liquor) on large areas of 136.5 hectares in laboratories at the Kazakh National Agrarian Research University and the Laboratory of TOO "KosAgroKommertz". Results showed that proper calculation of fertilizer doses for fertigation resulted in cyclic changes in soil nutrient levels (up to 23%), depending on the season and phenological phase of apple trees. The correlation between fruit quality and quantity was influenced by timing and assimilability of nutrients and method of application. Implementation of recommended fertilization methods resulted in increased yield, although the young age of some orchards may have contributed to the results. Under optimal nutrient management plans, nutrient levels in the soil showed noticeable fluctuations depending on the phenological phases of apple trees, which can be used to adjust fertigation practices. The study also revealed that fertigation can affect soil properties such as bulk density, soil density, and humus content, with potential long-term implications for soil health and fertility. In conclusion, fertigation significantly impacts soil nutrient levels in intensive orchards in southern Kazakhstan, and careful management of fertilizer doses and application timing is crucial for maximizing its effectiveness. Further research is needed to understand the long-term effects of fertigation on soil health and fertility, and its implications for sustainable agriculture practices. The findings contribute to knowledge on fertigation dynamics in Kazakhstan, serving as a basis for further studies and practical applications in agricultural management.

One of the main reasons for the reduction of winter wheat yields in Russia, as in most major wheat-producing countries, is the massive infestation and rapid spread of annual weed species. Thus, this study was conducted during 2022 at D.N. Pryanishnikov Russian Research Institute of Agro chemistry, Russia with main objective to optimize the concentration of broad-spectrum herbicides: Lintur, VDG (659 g/kg dicamba-sodium + 41 g/kg triasulfuron), Bucephalus, KE (480g/L carfentrazone-ethyl), Camaro SE (6. 25 g/L florasulam + 300 g/L 2,4-D), Prima Forte 195 SE (180g/L 2,4-D + 10g/L aminopyralid +5g/L florasulam), and their plant growth regulator mixtures Moddus, KE (250 g/L trinexapac-ethyl) to protect winter wheat crops from weeds at Barbino (Russia). An inventory conducted on the study plot showed that the total number reached 434 pants/m2 weeds, with a total of 9 weed species namely Cirsium arvense, Cardaria draba, Galium aparine, Matricaria discoidea, Chenopodium album, Polygonum aviculare, Galeopsis tetrahit, Capsella bursa-pastoris, and Sinapis arvensis of which 73.9% are annual species with a vegetative cycle parallel to that of winter wheat. Herbicide application at 50% showed little difference in weed control efficacy (%) compared to standards and ranged from 56.0 to 100.0% depending on treatment and weed species. Both individually applied herbicides and their mixtures with Moddus and free weed control contributed to a significant increase in yield and the increase was from 12.3 to 23.7%. Yield when using the options mixture with the growth regulator Moddus was higher than the individual application of herbicides regardless of the dose. Yield at a dose of 50% was slightly higher or lower compared with the manufacturer's standard. In general, the growth regulator did not affect herbicide efficacy, but its combination with herbicides improved yield structure elements and increased yield quality of winter wheat.

Indiscriminate use of inorganic fertilizers has bought threat to soil health in respect to physical, chemical and biological properties of soil. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the usage of inorganic fertilizers by substituting with organics. It is well established fact that the improvement in quality and productivity of the crops could be made possible with combined application of organic sources and balanced chemical fertilizers. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted during rabi 2021-22 at College of Agriculture, UAS, Raichur to study the effect of organic sources and nutrient levels on growth, yield and economics of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.). Eighteen treatment combinations were evaluated which consisted of three organic sources and six nutrient levels. The experiment was laid out in Factorial RBD design with three replications. The results indicated that among organic sources, application of FYM @ 5 t /ha recorded significantly higher growth parameters viz., plant height (85.95 cm), total dry matter accumulation (121.59 g/plant), seed yield (1467 kg/ha) and stalk yield (2216 kg /ha). Further this treatment recorded higher gross returns (Rs. 80,699/ha) and net returns (Rs. 51247/ha) compared to other treatment. Among the different nutrient levels, SSNM (STCR equation) + micronutrients Zn @ 25 kg/ha + S @ 10 kg/ha showed significant effect on growth parameters and seed yield (1508 kg/ha) as compared to other treatment. Moreover, the combination registered higher gross returns (Rs. 82,964/ha) and net returns (Rs. 54,540/ha) compared to other nutrient levels.

Intercropping offers a promising approach to enhance productivity in a given land area by simultaneously cultivating two or more crops together. Maize, a versatile cereal crop that can be seeded in widespread rows, presents an excellent prospect for growing another crop in between two rows. The coexistence of maize and legumes in an intercropping system brings about numerous benefits across various facets. The accomplishment of the maize-legumes intercropping system relies heavily on proper selection of crop species in mixed stands, considering factors such as their duration, plant stand per unit area, planting geometry and planting time. The advantages of adopting a maize-legume intercropping system are manifold. Firstly, it leads to higher yields and optimal utilization of available resources. Additionally, this system aids in weed, pest and disease management. Legumes play a crucial role by fixing biological nitrogen and transferring it to the associated maize plants, thereby contributing to nitrogen availability. Moreover, intercropping with legumes acts as an insurance against crop failure for smallholders and helps in restriction of soil erosion by covering a larger field area. The article focuses on the multifaceted benefits of the maize-legumes intercropping system, highlighting its potential to enhance agricultural productivity, resource utilization and sustainable farming practices.

Extensive studies of the physical, mechanical and fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy samples produced selective laser melting and hot rolling technology have been carried out. For each type of samples the values of the yield strength, tensile strength, elongation to failure, yield strength under compression, microhardness, Young's modulus and density were obtained. In particular, it is shown that the strength limit of the samples produced by selective laser melting is 1300 MPa and exceeds by 30% the corresponding value for samples produced by hot rolling. The density of samples produced in optimal modes of selective laser melting reaches 99,3% of the density of samples produced by hot rolling. Low-cycle fatigue curves are got for Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy samples produced by selective laser melting and hot rolling. A comparison of the nature of failure on samples produced by these technologies is carried out. It is shown that at high cycle stresses (more than 900 MPa), the fatigue life of samples produced by selective laser melting significantly exceeds the endurance of samples produced by hot rolling. A material with such properties can be used in products (parts) that work for a short time under extreme overload conditions. High values of strength characteristics are associated with a thin needle-like microstructure of the martensitic type with a high content of a'-phase, which is formed in the process of layered laser fusion due to the high crystallization rate, which can reach 105-107 K/s. The paper demonstrates the possibilities of the selective laser melting to creating a promising titanium alloy for the manufacture of Ti-6Al-4V osteointegrable medical devices with characteristics corresponding to or exceeding the characteristics of the material obtained by the traditional hot rolling method.
