A Comprehensive Study on Classification of COVID-19 on Computed Tomography with Pretrained Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: Pham Tuan
Published: May 2020

This study presents an investigation on sixteen pretrained CNNs for classification of COVID-19 using a large public database of CT scans collected from COVID-19 patients and non-COVID-19 subjects. The results update CNNs that achieve very high performance on the classification task and discover that implementation of transfer learning with direct input of whole image slices and without the use of data augmentation provide better classification results than the use of data augmentation.

{\it Conclusions:} The findings alleviate the task of data augmentation and manual extraction of regions of interest on CT images, which are adopted by current implementation of deep-learning models, and can facilitate the rapid deployment of AI tools to contain the spread of the coronavirus disease.

Published: May 2020

Ante la pandemia del coronavirus emergente SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus 2 relacionado con el Síndrome Respiratorio agudo severo), es necesaria la estandarización precisa del diagnóstico hospitalario para reducir el tiempo de respuesta en la confirmación de un caso de sospecha. Por esta razón el diagnóstico de laboratorio es una prioridad de los sistemas de salud pública. En la provincia de Soria, de cerca de 100.000 habitantes, con una población muy envejecida, un índice de mortalidad por COVID-19 del doble que el observado en España, el único Hospital Santa Bárbara de la red pública es el único centro diagnóstico de SARS-CoV-2. En el Servicio de Microbiología, hemos establecido una robusta metodología diagnóstica para la detección del ARN viral presente en muestras de pacientes infectados mediante la técnica de Reacción en Cadena de la Polimerasa de Transcripción Reversa (RT-PCR) en Tiempo Real, que permiten en aproximadamente 4 horas emitir un informe. Este estudio describe el proceso que podría guiar a Servicios de Microbiología de otros Centros Hospitalarios.
PIAGET & FREIRE; EPISTEMOLOGIA E PEDAGOGIA
Authors: Becker Fernando
Published: May 2020

O texto objetiva aproximar dois nomes mundialmente conhecidos na educação e na pedagogia: Jean Piaget e Paulo Freire. Visa a compreender como se pode trabalhar com duas teorias que, embora diversas em vários aspectos, sintonizam em concepções epistemológicas e pedagógicas fundamentais como acontece com os conceitos de interação e tomada de consciência (Piaget) cotejados, respectivamente, com diálogo e conscientização (Freire). Ambos pensadores explicam a formação do sujeito por processos ativados pela ação do próprio sujeito em interação ou diálogo com o entorno social, mas também físico. O texto explora primeiro convergências epistemológicas; em seguida, convergências pedagógicas em torno de uma pedagogia ativa. Não sem antes expressar a indignação com a pretensão recente, com poder de estado, de “expurgar” Freire da educação brasileira. E termina com um apelo, apoiado nos argumentos do próprio texto, para que essa afronta ao Patrono da Educação brasileira não se concretize.

Background: Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder in the psychiatric field, is chronic, and is characterized by recurring relapse. The causative factor that plays an important role is the expressed emotion (EE) of the family. The aim of this study was to determine the expressed emotion scores of families who treated schizophrenic patients at Sanglah Hospital.
Methods: The study used a cross-sectional analytical method. Measurement of the EE of families using the Family Questionnaire (FQ). Data were analyzed descriptively and used the Spearman correlation test with a significance level of p <0.05.
Results: The research participants were 61 families of schizophrenia patients treated at Sanglah Hospital, female (57.4%), and average age 45 years old. The results showed a correlation between the family’s expressed emotion score and the frequency of recurrence of schizophrenic patients in Sanglah Hospital, which was statistically significant (R=0.611, p <0.001). That value shows that the correlation between the family expressed emotion score and the frequency of relapse patients with schizophrenia at Sanglah Hospital has a strong categorical correlation.
Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between the scores of family expressed emotion and the frequency of relapse in schizophrenia patients, where the expressed emotion of families is high, the frequency of relapse in schizophrenia patients will increase.

O chamado estágio supervisionado obrigatório na Educação Física, apesar de sua sabida importância, tem sido questionado quanto à sua eficácia por alunos, professores, gestores e pesquisadores. Diante deste cenário, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi reﬂetir sobre o mesmo, a partir de uma perspectiva dos relatos e percepções dos estagiários no ensino médio em uma cidade de porte médio no interior do estado de São Paulo. A pesquisa de teve natureza quali-quanti, com dados coletados a partir de uma matriz de análise, estruturada em três domínios: 1) Atuação Profissional (AP) do Professor de Educação Física no Ensino Médio; 2) Participação dos alunos (PA) da disciplina durante as aulas e 3) Infraestrutura da escola (IE) para as aulas de Educação Física. Tal matriz apresenta uma escala com pontuação de zero até dez, foi preenchida individualmente por cada um dos estagiários. Os dados qualitativos foram obtidos a partir dos discursos dos alunos estagiários em seus relatórios de estágio. Os dados quantitativos foram tratados estatisticamente no software Origin 9.0 que foram confrontados com os discursos dos estagiários (dados qualitativos) e os relatos de pesquisas semelhantes encontrados na revisão da literatura. Ficou patente que para os dados coletados por estes estagiários, o estágio supervisionado parece ser muito eficiente e importante na formação destes; um resultado bem diferente de outros estudos que colidem com a quase sempre precária situação das escolas de ensino médio no Brasil. Quando o pesquisador se aproxima do fenômeno que estuda, através da superação e não da negação dos estudos quantitativos, observando e reﬂetindo, sob seu olhar, as nuances, as coerências e inconsistências nos relatos obtidos em campo, fica amplificada e humanizada a complexa rede de relações que definem a experiência vivenciada no campo de estágio supervisionado.
THE LINKAGE BETWEEN BANK RESTRUCTURING AND BANK DEPOSITS OF COMMERCIAL BANKS OPERATING IN KENYA
Authors: Dr. Angela Mucece Kithinji
Published: May 2020

Bank restructuring and bank deposits are important concepts to commercial banks because of their role in the financial intermediation. Intervention through financial innovations, increasing the capital base to address the aspect of size and legal and regulatory framework review are important to ensure successful bank restructuring to record increased level of deposits. Commercial banks in Kenya have undertaken restructuring so as to be more competitive, to restore bank solvency and to mobilize more deposits. However, researchers on bank restructuring and bank deposits found conflicting results. The main objective of the study was to investigate the effect of bank restructuring on deposits of commercial banks in Kenya. The population of the study entailed all the 44 commercial banks licensed and registered under the banking act to do business in Kenya. Out of that data was availed from financial statements and annual reports of 39 commercial banks which were in operation for the period ranging from 2002 to 2014. Descriptive and inferential data analysis methods were used to analyze the secondary data collected. The empirical findings revealed that commercial banks use all the four types of bank restructuring which were financial, capital, operational and asset restructuring. It was further established that operational restructuring statistically affected bank deposits positively. Asset restructuring was found to have significant but negative influence on the deposits of commercial banks in Kenya. The research therefore, concludes that deposits can be mobilized through operational restructuring but can reduce significantly if there is asset restructuring. Deposits can therefore be increased through operational restructuring as an aspect of financial inclusion and financial deepening.
KEY WORDS: Bank restructuring, capital, financial, asset, operational, bank deposits.
Determinants of mental health professionals’ attitudes towards recovery: A review
Authors: Luigi Mimosa , Rapisarda Filippo , Corbière Marc , De Benedictis Luigi , Bouchard Anne-Marie , Felx Amélie , Miglioretti Massimo , Abdel-Baki Amal , Lesage Alain
Published: May 2020

Objective: The attitudes of mental health professionals towards consumers’ recovery are far more pessimistic than what is needed for the recovery-orientation to truly permeate systems of care. It has become pressing to depict determinants for these attitudes and how they evolve during professionalization. This, in the hopes to adjust not only medical education, but also ongoing training of professionals.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed and PsycINFO databases was conducted, yielding a net 15 303 records. Twenty-two publications from specific educational journals and reference lists were added. Finally, thirty-four full texts were read, from which twenty-two articles were included.
Results: From the reviewed studies emerged five main determinants: profession, education, age, clinical experience, and nature of the contact with consumers. Traditional clinical placements during residency, negative experiences with acute patients, younger age and the professional attitudes of psychiatrists seem to all be determining factors for professionals’ pessimistic attitudes towards recovery.
Conclusions: This review found specific determinants for attitudes in recovery and four out of five can be acted upon. For a recovery-orientation to be implemented across our mental health system, we formulate recommendations within the Canadian context for revision of curriculum, recovery-specific training, and operationalisation through state/provincial technical assistance centers.
“It unsticks your mind”: Using a musicians’ masterclass to introduce oncology faculty and trainees to the practice of direct observation and coaching
Authors: Sanatani Michael , Potvin Kylea
Published: May 2020

Bringing faculty to a realization of the importance of direct observation is a major task during the transition to competency-based medical education. Musicians generally already endorse a strong coaching culture. We included a live cello masterclass in an oncology faculty and trainee workshop in order to demonstrate coaching and feedback. Based on participant post-event interviews, the musical masterclass was a highly effective catalyst for self-reflection in regards to teaching practices and lead to new and revised perspectives on observation and coaching in medicine.  With just a musician-trainee, music coach, and faculty moderator, this effective demonstration can be easily replicated.
The Fate of Prosperity Gospel in Kenya
Authors: Alwala Bernard
Published: May 2020

The prosperity gospel Pentecostalism is relatively new on the religious landscape which is swiftly expanding at breath-taking speed and now is a force to be reckoned with in Kenya. It has a greater chance of outliving the 21st century in view of the fact that it is widely and readily being accepted by all classes of people for its claim of physical and spiritual empowerment. The methodology adopted for this study was a phenomenological approach. The study uncovered that there are so many in favour of the expansion and consolidation of the prosperity gospel in Kenya. The paper affirmed the point that prosperity gospel in its entirety is not bad but what is needed is a change in the right focus of prosperity message. Even though there are aspects of negativism in prosperity preaching, the paper believes and concludes that God will eventually change the focus of prosperity message as preached by prosperity preachers to something more positive and rewarding for it to continue being relevant in Kenya.
What Has Science to Do with Religion? A Looming Challenge of Traditional and Religious Practices on Curbing the Spread of COVID-19 Pandemic in Kenya
Authors: Alwala Bernard
Published: May 2020

The association between religion and science is a theme of continuous debate in philosophy and theology and recently in politics and governance as experienced in Kenya. To what degree are religion and science (e.g. medicine) well-matched? Are religious beliefs sometimes helpful to science, or do they inexorably pose hindrances to scientific inquiry? Are we able to manage COVID-19 through religion, or medicine or both medicine and prayer? The interdisciplinary field of “science and religion”, also called “theology and science”, aims at answering these and other questions. It studies historical and contemporary interactions between these fields and provides philosophical analyses of how they interrelate and is able to provide a holistic approach to combatting the corona-virus pandemic in Kenya. This paper provides an overview of the topic and discussions in science and religion; the role of spirituality/ religion in health and how traditional and religious practices may contribute to the spread of Corona-virus. Section 1, outlines the scope of both fields, and how they are intersecting; Section 2, focuses on health and spirituality and Section 3 concludes by looking at the looming challenges that religion and culture may present to the scientific directives on the spread of COVID-19 and ends by proposing strategies on community-directed programs by the Ministry of Health.

One of the parties who have great potential in environmental preservation efforts are women. Globally women provide a life for their families and at the same time manage the environment. However, due to gender power relations, their knowledge is often ignored, and they are not counted as agents of change. The Center for Women's Studies at Soegijapranata Catholic University seeks to improve the ability of women in terms of environmental preservation by organizing socialization of women as agents of environmental care to the Women's Organizations Association in Semarang City. The socialization was conducted with a participatory approach in which the participants are active in training and then also active in the development of eco-print products and efforts to disseminate environmental awareness. These outreach activities produce positive results that women have great potential as agents of change in the environmental care movement. in terms of the socialization process, in order to run well, the women's groups must have the potential to disseminate the results of socialization. The criteria for the women's group is to be able to represent the original group so that it can become the next media for socialization and be active on social media that is popular in the community, namely Instagram. Furthermore, this activity also found that training media as a means of socialization must be interesting, that is, easily made (done) by the trainees, the results are good so it is interesting to be seen and imitated by other parties, easy for replication, even trainees can immediately become trainers for other party.
Development of PROTACs to address clinical limitations associated with BTK-targeted kinase inhibitors
Authors: Arthur Rachael , Beatriz Valle-Argos Beatriz , Steele Andrew J. , Packham Graham
Published: May 2020

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a common form of leukemia and is dependent on growth-promoting signaling via the B-cell receptor. The Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) is an important mediator of B-cell receptor signaling and the irreversible BTK inhibitor ibrutinib can trigger dramatic clinical responses in treated patients. However, emergence of resistance and toxicity are major limitations which lead to treatment discontinuation. There remains, therefore, a clear need for new therapeutic options. In this review, we discuss recent progress in the development of BTK-targeted proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) describing how such agents may provide advantages over ibrutinib and highlighting features of PROTACs that are important for the development of effective BTK degrading agents. Overall, PROTACs appear to be an exciting new approach to target BTK. However, development is at a very early stage and considerable progress is required to refine these agents and optimize their drug-like properties before progression to clinical testing.

What CEOs Have to Say: Insights on the STEM Workforce
Authors: Zaza Sam , Abston Kristie , Arik Murat , Geho Patrick , Sanchez Victor
Published: May 2020

Establishing and maintaining the supply of skilled STEM workers are issues that many businesses are currently facing. CEOs can provide unique perspectives on the roles of parents, educators and schools, industry and community partners, and government on this issue. To this end, a Qualtrics panel was used to survey 45 CEOs located in the state of Georgia in the southeastern United States. CEOs responded to open-ended questions that were later analyzed using topic modeling techniques to uncover the themes and the factors that have the potential to increase the number of STEM-capable graduates and, ultimately, a sustained STEM workforce. The results of this study indicate that CEOs perceive parents, educators and schools, industry and community partners, and government as key players who are recommended to interact, engage and collaborate to successfully create a sustained pipeline of STEM talent. Business leaders, university business programs, and business faculty should stay abreast of the factors affecting the supply and demand of STEM workers, and this paper adds value by reporting on CEO perspectives on this important problem.
The Relative Tax Gap Hypothesis: An Exploratory Analysis and Application to U.S. Financial Markets
Authors: Cebula Richard J.
Published: May 2020

This study empirically investigates the “relative tax gap hypothesis,” which posits that the greater the size of the relative tax gap, the greater the degree to which the U.S. Treasury must borrow from domestic and/or other credit markets and hence the higher the ex ante real interest rate yield on the Bellwether 30 year U.S. Treasury bond. The study uses the most current data available for computing what is referred to here as the “relative tax gap,” which is the ratio of the aggregate tax gap (the loss in federal income tax revenue resulting from personal income tax evasion) to the GDP level. For each year of the study period, the nominal value of the tax gap is scaled by the nominal GDP level and expressed as a percentage. The study period runs from 1982 through 2016, reflecting data availability for all of the variables. The estimation results provide strong support for the hypothesis. In addition, in separate estimations, evidence is provided that the relative tax gap also acts to elevate the ex ante real interest rate yield on Moody’s Baa-rated long-term corporate bonds. It logically follows, then, that to the extent that a greater relative tax gap leads to higher ex ante real interest rates, it may contribute to the crowding out of corporate investment in new plant equipment associated heretofore with government budget deficits per se.
Assessment of Shopping Mall Customers’ Experience through Criteria of Attractiveness in Tier-II and Tier-III Cities of India: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Gupta Ashish , Mishra Vaibhav , Tandon Anushree
Published: May 2020

The present research attempts to develop a theoretical framework for the assessment of shopping mall customer experience dimensions. It further classifies the variables associated with retail experiences that may attract customers in Tier-II and Tier- III cities towards the malls. Exhaustive literature review and expert opinion approaches have been used to explore the evaluation criteria for the assessment of the mall experience. ISM is used to develop a structural model that represents relationships among variables at different levels along with driving and dependence relationships in the structural model. The result highlights that factors like customer value orientation, tenant mix, employees, facilities management are the most significant benchmarking criteria for customers’ assessment of their mall experience in the present study. To achieve profitable operations in these cities, retailer’s need to acquaint themselves with the expectations of customers in order to attract their attention. This indicates that it is imperative for mall managers to identify how consumers benchmark different parameters while evaluating a mall experience. Understanding the importance of such parameters will allow malls to be built according to some standard specifications that can meet a consumer’s threshold for appeal and attractiveness. The study adds to the existing literature of assessing shopping experience in Tier-II and Tier-III cities’ malls through a structural model. The most and the least dominant factors found in this study will help mall managers to develop strategies to enhance the customer shopping experience in malls.

SANGICOCCUS SP., A NEW RECORD OF PEST DEVASTATING COCONUT PALMS IN PALAWAN, PHILIPPINES
Authors: E.P. Pacumbaba  , J.C. Orense  , M.B. Zipagan  , M.L.R. Imperial
Published: May 2020

Sangicoccus sp. nr. truncatispinus (Reyne) (Eriococcidae: Homoptera) is recorded for the first time as a major pest of coconut palms in the Philippines. It is   also the first record among the coconut growing areas in the world. It sucks the plant sap resulting to chlorosis of leaves. Furthermore, honeydew droplets exuded by the pest accumulated on upper leaf surfaces become substrate for sootymolds.

 

The severe infestation observed in late 1980’s already spread to 6 out of 8 municipalities of the southern second district of Palawan. Presently, crop losses are estimated to reach 53% of the nut yield. The prevailing easterly and westerly wind directions of 1-5 m/sec coupled with the dense manner of planting enabled first instar nymphs (crawlers) to spread to other palms. The long dry spell also favored the proliferation of Sangicoccus sp.bv.

 

Controlling the spread and outbreak of this pest seems to be difficult as it thrives on eleven alternate hosts. Ant attendance contributed to dispersal and protection from natural enemies. Moreover, field population of ten predatory species remained minimal. Possible strategies for its control are presented.
Boron Deficiency of Coconut (Cocos nucifera Lin.): A Field Note
Authors: Severino S. Magat  , Luis  G. Cruz
Published: May 2020

The soil and external supply of micronutrient boron (B) clearly affect the coconut crop’s growth and development; and, thus, the yield and quality of produce, particularly during the dry season (< 75 mm rainfall/month).

 

A clear deficiency of B in young palms of several farms ( 11 out of 37) was observed in a project site of a nationwide multi-location piloting (MULTILOC ACTPRO) of coconut varieties and hybrids located in an inland area of Linabu, Balingasag, Misamis Oriental, Northern Mindanao, Philippines. The deficiency in young coconut is characterized by the presence of deformed leaf fronds or “little leaf”, followed by non-splitting or delayed opening of leaflets that usually appear in zigzag-like pattern in advanced or severe deficiency stage. The apical shoot blackens, exhibiting growth failure and death of tissues and plant per se.

 

Photographs of the boron deficiencies in sample farms, and recommended correcting measures are presented.

The yield gap between the potential and actual productivity has been widening in coconut estates (>9 ha) over the years. Among many reasons, the non-adoption and incorrect adoption of recommended agronomic and crop management practices on coconut cultivation have largely contributed to this yield gap. A survey carried out by the Coconut Research Institute (CRI) indicated that the lack of competent caretakers to correctly implement the crop management practices is a major reason to the yield gap and that there is an urgent demand for trained Farm Managers. Eight percent of the estates was identified as ‘poor’ with respect to the nut yield and the standard of the management practice adopted.  Majority of both proprietors and caretakers (75%) was not satisfied with the productivity of their estates.  The performance of the estates was significantly associated with the land suitability class of coconut and the uses of recommend practices.  About 75% of the caretakers had not received any training on coconut cultivation. According to the perception of the proprietors, males between 25-30 years of age are the best group to be trained as Farm Managers. The training course should include theory and practice on all aspects of coconut cultivation, intercropping, animal production, labour management, accounting procedures in estates, and the use of agricultural machinery.

It is important to understand the physiological acclimatization process in order to provide the favorable growing conditions, to increase the survival rate and to produce vigorous seedlings for field planting for better establishment. These aspects assume significance because the embryo culture technique is used for germplasm collection in coconut. The zygotic embryos from eight month old selfed nuts from West Coast Tall (WCT) cultivar of coconut were collected for embryo culture. The field planted seedlings produced by embryo culture and those raised from nursery were compared for photosynthetic activity under field grown conditions. Photosynthetic and water relation parameters were studied in the embryo cultured plantlets at different stages of acclimatization under green net house conditions. The photosynthetic rate increased gradually during acclimation with maximum rate atfour months after transfer to pots (under 50% shade; stage 4). The embryo cultured plantlets had higher photosynthetic rates compared to the nursery raised plants under field conditions. Transpiration rate increased with stage during acclimation. Embryo cultured plants had low transpiration rate as compared to the nursery raised plants. Consequently embrvo cultured plants had higher WUE (A/E). The WUE increased during acclimation. The Fv/Fm ratio increased gradually from 0.69 to 0.72 till stage 4. The field‑grown embryo culture plants had higher Fv/Fm compared to the nursery raised plant. This increase in Fv/Fm during acclimation indicated the increase in photochemical activity and photosystem II electron transport efficiency. The study indicated increase in photosystem efficiency and carbon assimilation efficiency of embryo cultured plantlets of coconut during acclimatization.

The response to sequential coconut toddy and nut production (SCTNP) scheme of four coconut varieties/hybrids at PCA-Zamboanga Research Center, San Ramon, Zamboanga City showed that the dwarf x tall hybrids, Malayan red dwarf x Baybay tall (MRD x BAYT), Malayan red dwarf x Tagnanan tall (MRD x TAGT) and Catigan green dwarf x Laguna tall (CATD x LAGT) produced significantly higher toddy (495 – 699 li/tree/yr) and nut yield (143-169 nuts/tree/yr)  compared  to tall cultivar, ‘Laguna’ LAGT (364 li and 123 nuts per tree per year).  Varietal difference in terms of the floral and vegetative characteristics of the coconut  cultivar and hybrids contributed significantly to the differences in the sap/toddy and nut yields.
AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF CONSUMER DEMAND FOR COCONUTS IN SRI LANKA
Authors: S. R. Samarajeewa
Published: May 2020

This study analyses the domestic demand for coconuts in Sri Lanka using a single equation econometric model. The domestic coconut consumption accounts 70 percent of the total annual nut production in Sri Lanka. Being an essential commodity for household use, the coconuts form a stable domestic market out-let for producers as well. The results of the study reveals that the retail price of coconuts and per capita consumer income are significant variables that determine the quantity of coconut demand in Sri Lanka. There is a significant negative trend in per capita consumption of coconuts over time, indicating a declining tastes and preferences by the consumer. However, the changes in consumer demand for coconuts to the changes in retail prices are less responsive as indicated by the lower own price elasticity value of –0.11. The income elasticity of coconut demand is 0.38 and it is inelastic too.
CHLOROPLAST DNA VARIATION IN COCONUT IS OPPOSITE TO ITS NUCLEAR DNA VARIATION
Authors: Lalith Perera
Published: May 2020

The pattern of world distribution of two major fruit morphotypes of coconuts has led to development of theories on origin, domestication and dissemination of coconut. Results of recent nuclear DNA analyses are in agreement with these theories with several other new insights. Compared to the plant nuclear genome however, the plant organelle genomes, the chloroplast genome and the mitochondrial genome are highly conserved and are maternally inherited in most angiosperms. Therefore, most useful information have come from regions of DNA located in organelle genome for studying phylogeny in angiosperms and for deducing historical information and evolutionary history of populations such as past migration routes and colonization dynamics. This study was aimed to determine the feasibility of developing polymorphic cytoplasmic markers, particularly the chloroplast markers. Chloroplast DNA variation of coconut from all coconut growing regions in the world assessed by both restriction digestions and physical separation of PCR products obtained with universal primers, by chloroplast microsatellites and by sequencing showed no variation. This tends to suggest that coconut may have gone through a severe cytoplasmic bottleneck and only one chloroplast type may have participated in the colonization process.

A field experiment was conducted at Central Plantation Crops Research Institute, Kasaragod, India for six years (1993-1999) to study the impact of drip irrigation levels and mulching on coconut in littoral sandy soil.  The treatments consisted of three levels of drip irrigation (66, 100, and 133 % of open pan evaporation (E0)) along with basin irrigation (100 % of E0) and rainfed control as main plot treatments and mulching with coconut leaves and no mulching as sub plot treatments.  The experimental results revealed that annual leaf production and leaf nutrient status of coconut was better in the irrigated treatments compared to the rainfed control.  The drip irrigation at 66 per cent of E0 (27 litres of water per palm per day during December-January months and 32 litres of water per palm per day during February-May months) resulted in water saving and the nut yield was on par with 100 per cent and 133 per cent of E0 through drip and 100 per cent of E0 through basin irrigation and differed significantly compared to rainfed control.  The nut characters like nut weight, husk weight, copra thickness, copra content and copra yield was superior under irrigated treatments compared to rainfed control.  The copra yield was 499 kg per ha under rainfed condition, where as it was 2087 to 2202 kg per ha under irrigated treatments.  Irrigation along with mulching with coconut leaves resulted in significantly higher nut yields.
