Authors: PEPELE Mustafa Safa , KANAT Zekiye
Published: August 2023

Objective: The purpose of this study was to look at the seasonal distribution, age and gender distribution, and eosinophil, lymphocyte, and monocyte values according to age and gender in cases of insect bites that were brought to the emergency room over the course of a year.

Materials and method: Retrospective analysis was performed on patients who were brought to the emergency room between 1.12.2021 and 1.12.2022 and had the ICD code W57 (Diagnosis Code - Bitten or stung by Nonvenomous Insects and Other Nonvenomous Arthropods). The following values were noted: age, gender, presenting season, CRP, Leukocyte, Platelet, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Eosinophil, INR, PTZ, and Aptt levels.

Findings: The study comprised a total of 694 patients—308 females and 386 males. The patients were 39.81 16.42 years old on average. Spring saw 9.4% of the patients, summer saw 67%, and fall saw 23.6%. According to the patients' gender, there were significant differences in the eosinophil (t:-3.535; p:0.0010.01) and monocyte (t:-4.909; p:0.0010.01) values. Regarding the season in which the patients were admitted, significant differences in lymphocyte (F:7.045; p:0.0010.01) and monocyte (F:3.208; p:0.0410.05) values were discovered. When the disparities in eosinophil, lymphocyte, and monocyte values were evaluated in relation to the patients' ages, significant differences in monocyte values were discovered (F:2.552; p:0.0270.05).

Result: We commonly see insect bites in emergency rooms, which we can usually cure with straightforward remedies or occasionally without treatment, but in some unfortunate circumstances, we may have to deal with major issues and allergic responses (4). Almost little studies have been done on the seasonal distribution and evaluation of blood tests according to age and gender, despite the fact that there are many studies on this topic in the literature. We think that more study on this topic is necessary.

ENTRE A OBRIGAÇÃO E O ESQUECIMENTO, UM OLHAR ATENIENSE SOBRE A GUERRA CIVIL
Authors: Pimentel Filho José Eduardo
Published: August 2023

Para os gregos da Idade Clássica a guerra civil (stasis), embora traumática, parecia fazer parte de um jogo cotidiano da própria política. Neste artigo buscarei organizar a partir de uma perspectiva política grega sobre a guerra civil a partir de duas leis propostas por Sólon, o ateniense, a atimia e a anistia. Tomando este ponto de partida, proporei uma retomada da leitura de Loraux e Agamben, na qual demonstra a fragilidade da leitura política que associa a gestão da família (oikonomia) à gestão do Estado (politika).  Por fim, examinarei como a consciência de Platão sobre a guerra civil serviu de fonte para o filósofo grego propor uma cidade ideal (projeto bem conhecido nas obras República e As Leis); e como esta resposta de Platão acabaria fomentando um problema tão grande quanto a própria guerra civil.
Influence of organic, inorganic and integrated use of nutrients on productivity and quality of pea (Pisum sativum) vis-à-vis soil properties
Authors: DUBEY Y P , DATT N
Published: August 2023

Awareness of food quality has shifted our nutrient management system toward crop production. Integrated nutrient management system resulted in yield improvement and maintenance of soil health, but has least impact on food quality and environment. To study the impact of different nutrient management system, a field experiment was conducted with organic, inorganic and integrated nutrient management practices on pea (Pisum sativum L.) with eight treatments for four years at the research farm of CSKHPKV, Palampur. Soil chemical, physical and biological properties and symbiotic parameters of pea found to be better under organic farming, however, integrated nutrient practices increased green pod yield each year whereas yield decreased under chemical treatment.

Published: August 2023

This paper highlights the development of women-operated pneumatic powered cotton picker attachment to powertiller compatible to major Indian cotton varieties and the performance results with a special emphasis to optimization of functional components. For development of the unit, dimensions of machine parameters, viz. pick-up pipe diameter, filter type, filter height, collection drum capacity, and aspirator speed were optimized through build and test method. The effect of variations of said parameters on pressure, which directly induces picking force, was studied independently and in combination, and the best-suited parameters were selected through statistical analysis. From the statistical analysis, the optimized cotton picker is with pick-up diameter of 25 mm, nylon mesh filter of 400 mm height and with 150 L capacity collection drum with the aspirator speed of 5500 rpm. The cost of picking with picker was Rupees 9.50 per kg of cotton (0.16 USD). The saving in cost, time, and energy compared to manual picking are 17.0, 75.0, and 74.6% respectively. The break-even point and pay-back period for the picker are 5900 kg/annum and 0.45 year respectively. The pneumatic principles adopted in the development of cotton-picker are promising in addressing the requirement of the women for cotton picking in Indian farms.

A field experiment was conducted on a Typic Ustochrept soil at Project Directorate for Farming Systems Research Modipuram (2904' N, 77046' E, 237m asl), for three consecutive years (2007-08 to 2009-10) to evaluate the sitespecific nutrient management (SSNM) option against existing farmers fertilizer practices (FFP), state recommendation (SR), improved SR (ISR) (i.e. 25% higher than SR), and soil testing laboratory recommendation (STLR) in six predominant wheat based cropping systems of Upper Gangetic Plains, in terms of yield gain, economics, nutrient harvest index, soil fertility, and apparent nutrient balances. SSNM improved system wheat equivalent yield over SR, ISR, STLR and FFP by 19%, 8%, 17% and 29%, respectively. SSNM involved additional cost of Rupees 5 097 to 7 938 /ha over SR and FFP under different cropping systems but it gave higher added net return of Rupees 13 649 to 58 776 /ha and Rupees 25 030 to 68 980 /ha over SR and FFP, respectively. The output: input ratio and nutrient harvest index were also highest in SSNM. At the end of the experiment, soil available N, Olsen-P and available K content were either maintained or improved over its initial values in SSNM treatments, whereas these parameters declined or marginally increased over the initial contents under FFP and SR in 0-15 cm soil profile depth. After 03-crop cycles, apparent N and P balances were positive in most of the cropping systems and fertilizer treatments, except a negative N balance was noticed in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp]â€“wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)â€“wheat systems under SR and SSNM treatments. The apparent K balances were negative across all the cropping systems and nutrient management options but the magnitude was lower under SSNM.

Thirty eight germplasms/varieties of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L. R Br) were screened for popping characteristics at optimum processing conditions. For determining optimum processing condition, popping experiment of pearl millet (PC 443) was initially carried out as per central composite rotatable design in response to surface methodology with three factors (moisture content, tempering time and popping temperature) at five levels. Optimum conditions for maximum popping yield (62%) was determined as 15.92% moisture content, 7.16 h tempering time, and 282°C temperature. The popped grains were found to have good nutritional value with 11.2% protein, 7.36% fat, 2.96% crude fibre, 3.83% ash, 72.81% carbohydrate, and total antioxidant 15.47 μ mole Trolox /100 g. Popping significantly reduced anti-nutritional factor to a level of 373.82 mg/100g phytic acid. Based on popping characteristics like popping yield, puffing index and size of popped grain, seven germplasms/varieties, viz. IC 283734, IC 283745, IC 283763, IC 283842, IC 283908, 841-B and PPMI 301 were found to have potential popping trait.

A field experiment was conducted at Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur during 2010-11 and 2011-12 to study the Impact of cropping pattern on growth, yield attributes and system productivity of citronella (Citronella winterianus L.) - pulses intercropping system in Central India. There was significant superiority in growth, yield attributes and yield of sole cropping as compared to their intercropping. On an average significantly higher herbage yield of first (202.74 q/ha) and second cutting (161.15 q/ha) was recorded in citronella sole cropping followed by 2:1 row ratio of citronella + pigeonpea. However, the citronella sole cropping gave significantly highest citronella equivalent oil yield and net returns than other cropping systems. The higher B: C ratio was recorded under citronella: pigeonpea 2:2 row ratio (12.6) in 2010-11 and citronella: pigeonpea (2:1) (8.75) in 2011-12 than other cropping systems. The higher LER values in citronella: pigeonpea intercropping, i.e.1.03 to 1.08, clearly indicate 3 to 8% advantage over their sole stand. Citronella sole recorded the highest crop profitability (Rupees753 to 837 ha/day).

Published: August 2023

Identification and characterization of new varieties is essential to meet DUS testing, address IPR issues and their utilization and conservation. A total of 68 ISSR primers were screened and out of these 23 primers which gave sufficient amplification were selected for the study. These primers produced 169 bands, out of which, 149 were polymorphic with a polymorphic percentage of 88.17%. The ISSR primers namely ISSR 22, ISSR 26, ISSR 38 generated least number of bands, i.e. four of which only two were polymorphic with a polymorphism of 50% in ISSR 22. The polymorphism across all the ISSR markers ranged between 66.7% (ISSR37) to 100% (ISSR 21, ISSR 25, ISSR 26, ISSR 28, ISSR 30 and ISSR 811). The resolving power of band (Rp) produced by ISSR markers ranged from 0.66 to 7.64 for primer ISSR 38 and ISSR 31 with a mean value of 86.48 for all the primers. The correlations between Rp and number of varieties identified by each ISSR primer (0.92) were fairly high. The value of polymorphic information content (PIC) was ranged from 0.023 (ISSR 809) to 0.553 (ISSR 26) with a mean value of 0.35 over all the primers. The UPGMA dendrogram based on ISSR analysis indicated that the outlier species were 74% dissimilar with other varieties and grouped separately. The cultivars Maghi Orange and Maghi Yellow had around 90% similarity and were close to cultivar Maghi White at over 80% similarity level. ISSR markers were proved to be useful for the characterization of the genotypes for their efficient utilization, management and IPR protection.

Authors: PRABHA B , PUGALENDHI S , SUBRAMANIAN P
Published: August 2023

The paper describes the development of semi-indirect non-electric pyrolytic reactor of 1 kg capacity and for optimizing production process of biochar from different farm wastes. Biochar was produced through pyrolysis of farm wastes, viz. maize cob, cotton stalk and coconut shell by using Prosopis julifera as a combustion fuel in the pyrolytic reactor. Biochar production from farm waste was optimized with different mass of combustion fuel such as 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0 kg. Maximum residence time for obtaining maximum yield and characteristics of farm waste and biochar were also investigated. The maximum yield of biochar from maize cob, coconut shell and cotton stalks were found to be 34, 33 and 36% respectively. The optimum combustion and pyrolysis mass ratio was found as 0.5:1 for maize cob and cotton stalk and that of coconut shell was 0.75:1. The mass and energy closure efficiency of the developed pyrolysis unit were found to be 85% and 83% respectively. The organic carbon content of biochar ranged as 67-89% for the selected feed-stocks. The results indicated that the maximum amount of biochar was produced with minimum amount of combustion fuel enhancing low-cost by using the reactor. The developed pyrolytic reactor was found economically viable with payback period of 3.2 years. Through characterization of biomass and biochar, it was found that the reduction of bulk density of biochar output (215-278 kg/m3) compared to raw farm waste (450-500 kg/m3) was beneficial to improve soil health of cultivable land.

Introduction: management information systems currently play a crucial role in optimizing, filtering, and transforming information, which is essential for making wise decisions in companies. Objective: to describe the importance of information systems in the organizational ecosystem of companies. Methods: a document review of articles in the Scopus database was conducted to examine the influence of management information systems on decision-making in the business sector. Results: after a meticulous selection process, a total of 20 documents were analyzed. These documents were segmented in Scopus publishers as follows: Springer (5), Taylor & Francis (5), Elsevier (5), and Wiley (5). A thematic synthesis process was employed, and the most relevant information was coded and described. Conclusions: the results show that management information systems constitute a fundamental link in making wise decisions in the business sector, since they exponentially facilitate data access and control, which are subsequently used and classified as less relevant, relevant, or highly relevant information. Additionally, these systems optimize real working time, leading to a considerable increase in efficiency and effectiveness factors in companies.

Background. The amount of nutrients required by pineapple varies depending on the cultivar and planting density. Knowing the nutrient requirement in quantity and the appropriate phenological stage will allow the development of an adequate fertilization program. Objective. To determine the effect of pineapple cultivar and planting density on N, P, and K content during plant development and at harvest. Methodology. The cultivars 'Smooth Cayenne', 'Champaka', and 'MD-2' were established at 30000, 45000, and 60000 plants ha-1. Eight samples were taken to determine the N, P, and K content in the organs and the total plant. Results. The highest and lowest N, P, and K contents were detected in the leaf and root, respectively. The highest N and K contents occurred at 441 - 506 days after planting. Higher P content occurred close to harvest. The highest N, P, and K contents per plant were at 30000 plants ha-1 (14.86, 1.52, and 16.29 g plant-1, respectively) and the lowest at 60000 plants ha-1 (10.16, 1.13, and 14.6 g plant-1, respectively). Higher N, P, and K contents per hectare were detected with 60000 plants ha-1 (609, 68, and 875 kg ha-1, respectively).  At harvest, ‘Smooth Cayenne’ at 60000 plants ha-1 accumulated the highest amount of N, P, and K (147, 37, and 306 kg ha-1, respectively). Implications. The changes that can occur in the nutrient requirements of pineapple as a function of cultivar, planting density, and stage of plant development were identified. This information will be useful for producers, agricultural technicians, and researchers in Mexico and the world, to generate fertilization programs or establish new research. Conclusion. At the beginning of plant growth, a higher N, P, and K contents in the leaf, this amount decreases as the fruit harvest approaches. Regardless of cultivar, the highest nutrient content per plant occurs at the lowest planting density, however, the highest content per hectare occurs at the highest planting density. At harvest time, fewer nutrients are removed from the soil with 'Champaka' and 'MD-2' fruit.

Published: August 2023

Background: The Costa region is the main papaya (Carica papaya L.) producing area in the state of Oaxaca. However, there are no studies that document the potentialities, limitations, and development of the productive and commercial process of this crop with a comprehensive approach. Objective: To characterize papaya producers and their agroecosystems in the Costa region of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico; and determine a representative typology, based on their socioeconomic, productive, technological and commercial characteristics, using multivariate analysis techniques. Methodology: A questionnaire was applied through a probabilistic sampling to 89 papaya producers from seven municipalities in the Costa region of the state of Oaxaca, which included quantitative and qualitative variables, classified into indicators: i) social: ii) physical, iii) productive, iv) economic, v) management, vi) commercialization, vii) technological. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, review and selection of variables, factor analysis by the principal components method, identification of clusters, comparison and differentiation of defined groups, and discriminant analysis. Results: Through factorial analysis, two factors were selected that explained 72.89% of the original variability. The first factor was related to the variables economic income from the sale of papaya, profitability factor and papaya yield; while the second factor was explained by the experience of the producer. The cluster analysis allowed to identify three types of papaya producers (conventional, intermediate, and businesses), which represented 62%, 28% and 10% of the total sample. The variables with the greatest discriminating power between groups were economic income from the sale of papaya, papaya yield, and the profitability factor. Implications: The defined typology suggests the need to improve the design of public policies and promptly reorient them based on the heterogeneity among papaya producers in the study region. Conclusions: The papaya producers in the study sample are relatively young, have an intermediate level of schooling and seniority in the activity; those that make up Group 3 (businesses) stand out for having higher crop yields and better marketing channels. Papaya agroecosystems differ mainly by cultivated area, production yield, economic income and production costs.

Background: The sexual propagation of Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) has some limitations to preserve some desirable agronomic characteristics in successive generations. Objective: The present research evaluates the effect of a chitosan based-formulation (Quitomax®) on morpho-physiological, rooting attributes and benefit-cost ratio of two cocoa varieties during vegetative propagation. Methodology: The experimental design was completely randomized with a factorial arrangement (A × B), where A represented the two clones and B the three concentrations of chitosan based formulation used (0, 100, 500 and 1000 mg L-1), with three repetitions. per treatment. The survival (%), the stem diameter (mm), the number of leaves, the number and length (cm) of roots, the biomass (g), the gas exchange (A, gs, Ci, E), and an economic analysis of the two cocoa plant varieties were evaluated at 120 days after starting the trial. Results: The clone CCN-51 treated with 500 mg L-1 had significantly the highest results on survival (80%), stem diameter (6.83 mm), number of leaves per plant (8.2), number and length of roots (6.21 and 35.74 cm), aerial and root biomass (4.07 g and 1.64 g) parameters. In gas exchange, the highest values of Water use efficiency (WUE) were observed at 500 mg L-1 in CCN-51 (5.36 mmol mol-1) and 1000 mg L-1 in INIAP-EETP-801 (7.62 mmol µmol-1). In both clones, higher profitability was obtained when applying the chitosan dose of 500 mg L-1, reaching profitability of 40.65 and 50.00% for clones INIAP-EETP-801 and CCN-51, respectively. Implications: The cocoa clone CCN-51 showed plants that exhibited greater development of both the aerial part and the root part of the cocoa seedlings than INIP-EETP-801 coca clones. Conclusion: The chitosan based formulation at 500 mg L-1 is a promissory alternative to improve the evaluated parameters after 120 days of cocoa vegetative propagation.

Published: August 2023

Background: L-carnitine is a lipid metabolism enhancer and a potent antioxidant that prevents oxidative damage and improves cryotolerance of bovine embryos. Objective: To determine the effect of L-carnitine during oocyte maturation on developmental competence and cryotolerance of single bovine embryo cultured. Methodology: Embryos were produced in vitro using abattoir-derived cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs). In experiment 1, two individual maturation, fertilization and culture systems were used in 24-well plates with 20 µL drops of medium covered with mineral oil and 96-well plates with 30 µL drops of medium. In experiment 2, oocytes were randomly distributed into two groups and single matured in 96-well plates in medium supplemented or not with 0.6mg/mL L-carnitine. On day 7 post fertilization, blastocysts were vitrified on solid surface in Fiberplug. Non-vitrified blastocysts were used as control. Embryonic survival after devitrification was determined by blastocysts re-expansion and hatching rate at 24 and 48 hours of post-devitrification culture. Total cell number and apoptotic rate by TUNEL-DAPI staining were used as quality and cryotolerance indicator. In both cases, cleavage and blastocyst rates were evaluated at 48 hours and 7 days post fertilization, respectively. Results: No significant differences were found for embryonic development between single culture systems. There was no effect of L-carnitine supplementation during maturation on embryo development, but embryo survival had increased (P < 0.05) at 24- and 48-hours post devitrification. Implications: Treatment with L-carnitine had increased (P < 0.05) post-thaw re-expansion rates (86.8 ± 3.0 vs 70.0 ± 4.4) and it was similar to non-vitrified control (89.7 ± 2.6). Mean cell number and apoptotic cell index, were similar for all treatment groups. Conclusion: L-carnitine supplementation during maturation, does not improve division rate and subsequent development of single cultured embryos, however increases cryotolerance post devitrification.

Background: In small-scale dairy systems (SPLPE), multi-species pastures and small grain cereal silages have proven to be an option in the face of potential climate change effects and provide quality forage at low costs in periods of forage shortages. Objective: To evaluate the inclusion of a binary silage of barley and rye, compared to a ternary silage of barley, rye and triticale, in the feeding of dairy cows in small-scale dairy systems, in terms of productive and economic performance. Methodology: In the central Highlands of Mexico and with the participation of a small-scale dairy farmer, the inclusion of these silages in the feed of 6 dairy cows was evaluated under a cross-over design. The treatments included 40% silage (T1, binary; T2, ternary), 36% of conventional feeds (cut pasture, maize straw and alfalfa hay) offered by the participating farmer, and 24% of commercial compound concentrate. The variables evaluated were diet composition, feed intake, yield and milk composition, and an economic analysis made considering feed costs. Results: The neutral detergent fiber content was 4.8% lower in T2 (p<0.05), a treatment that also presented a 3% higher digestibility and a higher metabolizable energy and crude protein content (p<0.05). This was due to the incorporation of the ternary silage, a higher quality silage compared to the binary silage. Energy corrected milk production was higher in T2 (p=0.05), in response to the higher intake and higher digestibility of this treatment. Feeding costs were similar for the inclusion of the two silages and the implementation of the ternary treatment represented an increase of 0.8% in margins over feed costs with compared to the use of the binary silage. Implications. The use of small grain cereal mixtures silages are feasible in small-scale dairy systems to ensure a constant supply of medium quality forage, which together with moderate supplementation can generate high yields and economic income. Conclusions: The inclusion of ternary silage of small grain cereals of barley, rye and triticale, and moderate supplementation with commercial concentrate (24%) and other conventional feeds (36%), is a viable alternative as a feeding strategy in small-scale dairy systems during the dry season maintaining high milk yields and a high profit margin for these systems.

The Floating Bottle

She yawned all over again, opened her eyes and rubbed them as if trying to punish them for refusing to close in the sleep her tired body needed like a famished man needs food. Nwanta stared steadily into the heavy darkness that drenched the small room. The same hazy figures that seem to find their way into her room filed in again. One by one they began to take and change shapes, move round the room in a circle and mutter and chant sounds she cannot comprehend. As their chants and mutterings got louder, Nwanta felt her head grow as big as the drinking water pot in her mother’s room. She sat up like one stung by an agbusi, grabbed the torchlight beside her sleeping mat with shivering hands, and immediately, the room was bathed in light. Her eyes flew to the bare hard floor and to the almost lifeless bodies of her children, Chukwuebuka and Chinonso. She sighed and smiled weakly. Then she turned the torch and her gaze to the yellow clock hanging above the only window in the room. 2.00 am! She muttered and sighed again. It was a good time to enjoy a sweet sleep but how could she with the heavy rock of worry in her heart. Last night she had taken to bed ‘21st April,’ marked in red, on the calendar her church distributed after the Last Sunday of the Year Service. Every year she marked the same date in red and kept one calendar after the other in the wooden box that accompanied her and her children to Lagos, from the village. Neatly tucked inside the box were sixteen old calendars, each bearing one marked date: April 21st. On Saturday 21st April 2005, seventeen years ago, Albert took that journey.

The experimental group was taught using the schema theory and the control group was taught using the conventional method which entails whole class lecture, teacher led instruction. After the experimental treatment a pretest and a post-test was administered. A t-test ruled out pre-experimental differences between the groups. A one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) shows that there were statistically significant difference in comprehension level due to the Schema theory method. A multiple regression analysis established that different selected aspects of the stream-of-consciousness: interior monologue, association, montage, plot structure and myth and archetype contribute to the score. The study established that comprehension of stream of consciousness, as a literary technique can be investigated using schema theory.
