Simple correlation between oil yield and its component characters was studied to identify the selection indices in three crosses using F 2:3 population of ICGV 91114 x ICGV 01279, K 1375 x ICGV 98170 and ICGV 02125 x ICGV 98175 under drought stress and non stress conditions. Oil yield per plant and kernel yield per plant expressed significant and positive correlation with number of pods per plant, 100- pods weight, 100- kernels weight, shell weight, shelling percentage and pod yield per plant under both drought stress and non stress conditions in all three crosses. Hence, these traits might be considered as selection indices irrespective of stress situation, and they might be considered as important yield attributing characters and due emphasis should be placed while breeding for high kernel yield in groundnut

Field experiments were conducted during 2012 and 2013, at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai (Tamil Nadu Agricultural University) to study the effect of pre-emergence application of Calotropis gigantea leaf extract spray on weed control in cotton. The weed management practices consisted of Calotropis gigantea leaf extract spray at three concentrations (10%, 20%, and 30%) chemical weed control (Pendimethlin @ 1.0 kg ha-1 ), power weeder weeding (PW at twice) and manual weeding (hand weeding twice) in combination. The results revealed that hand weeding twice at 20 and 40 DAS and pendimethalin at 1.0 kg ha -1 followed by one hand weeding at 40 DAS resulted in effective control of all the weeds and recorded higher seed cotton yield. Among the leaf extracts spray, pre-emergence application of Calotropis gigantea at 30 % concentration followed by hand weeding at 40 DAS recorded lower weed density and dry weight and increased the yield in irrigated cotton compared to lower concentration of Calotropis gigantea leaf extracts and un weeded control.

Banana viruses have had a major negative impact on the production of bananas worldwide. Among banana viruses, Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) is one of the most destructive viral diseases affecting Hill banana (AAB) which is known for its special flavor and long shelf life and are unique to the lower Pulney hills of Tamil Nadu, India. In transgenics, Pathogen Derived Resistance (PDR) approach is one of the potential strategies for developing virus resistance in crops which has been proven to be difficult to obtain by conventional breeding. Here we have reported a reproducible and efficient in planta transformation method via Agrobacterium- mediated genetic transformation in banana. Three-month-old banana suckers were used as explant and Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harboring the binary vector pCAMBIA1301:bbtv rep was used in the co-cultivation. The presence and integration of the gus and replicase genes into the banana genome were confirmed by GUS histochemical assay, polymerase chain reaction and Southern blot hybridization. These results suggest that the in planta Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocol developed in this study for stable integration of rep gene of BBTV is efficient and that this transformation system could be widely adopted for routine transformation in banana for transferring genes.

Priming has a long and chequered history dating back to time of Greeks. Seed priming has shown promise in enabling seeds to overcome biotic and abiotic stresses. Simple priming techniques using salt solutions gave way to elaborate and sophisticated media that warrant close monitoring. Biopriming of late has been practiced for making priming eco-friendly. Elucidation of molecular basis has shown the cause for invigoration but confirmation of DNA's role is yet to be done. Activation of preformed enzymes in providing vigor seems putative. Development of tests to determine primed seed quality is urgently warranted. Addressed in the paper are the ways and means for assessing the quality of primed seeds. Methods to store them for long periods are necessary conserve the benefits and market primed seeds to promote their use over time and space.

An effort has been made to identify the maize inbred lines generated from crosses developed through germplasm of Himalayan origin. The analysis of variance for line x tester revealed significant difference among the parents, lines, as well as hybrids for accelerated aging test, osmotic stress test, 100-seed weight and field emergence. On the other hand, testers showed significant differences for accelerated aging test and osmotic stress test. Parents and hybrids revealed significant differences for 100-seed weight and 100-seed volume. The dominance component of variance (σσσσσ2 D) was greater than additive component (σσσσσ2 A) for all the characters across the years and combined over the years which indicated the dominance of non-additive gene action. The predominance of non-additive gene action for all the traits could be exploited in hybrid development.

Three low cost greenhouses of size 8x4 m each with ridge heights of 3m, 3.75m and 4.5m were designed and constructed with a side and roof ventilation of 30% and 6% respectively. The light intensity inside the greenhouses were found to be much lower than that of outside. The rate of reduction of light intensity inside the greenhouses was found to increase with increase in light intensity. It was observed that, during peak hours (at which light intensity was maximum), lower amount of light intensity was received by the 4.5 m height greenhouse and it was found to increase with decrease in height of the greenhouse. The 3 m and 3.75 m and also 3.75 m and 4.5 m greenhouses were on par in respect of light intensity even at 10% level. But, there was a significant reduction (P < 0.01) of light intensity in 4.5 m greenhouse compared to the 3 m greenhouse.

Published: May 2023

Purpose: This study aims to examine the incidence and age-related prevalence of eye conditions among school-age children living in Moscow Region (Russian Federation) and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).

Methods: The study sample includes 573 visually impaired children aged 7-17 years (13.85±1.24 years) in Russian Federation and 600 children (13.78±1.11 years) in Saudi Arabia.

Results: Myopia in Russian Federation was with a prevalence rate of 35.6%, followed by astigmatism (21.3%), strabismus (16.2%), conjunctivitis (13.6%), hyperopia (10%). The incidence of visual impairment was lower for children from Saudi Arabia compared to Russian Federation (OR=1.01, 95% CI [0.85-1.17] in 2018, OR=0.93, 95% CI [0.83-1.03] in 2022 in Saudi Arabia and OR=1.36, 95% CI [1.25-1.47] in 2018 vs. OR=1.33, 95% CI [1.23-1.43] in 2022 in Russian Federation). In Saudi Arabia, myopia occurred in 10% of cases at 7-10 years, 20% at 11-13 years, and 25% at 14-17 years.

Conclusion: The satisfactory state of the health system in Saudi Arabia compared with Russian Federation has resulted in a lower incidence of visual diseases among children. The possible causes of the myopia prevalence are worse medical system in the Russian Federation compared to Saudi Arabia, and climate in both countries.

Canudos e a República Brasileira na imprensa internacional em 1897
Authors: Paez Juan Recchia
Published: May 2023

A 3ª FLICAN "Revisitar Canudos, reinventar ou o Brasil" realizada em agosto de 2022 tornou-se um espaço de discussão e atualização de estudos sobre o acontecimento bélico de Canudos no âmbito das comemorações dos 125 anos da Guerra de Canudos e dos 120 anos da publicação da obra Os Sertões de Euclides da Cunha. Este artigo, lido no Alto da Favela, busca contribuir para essa refundação de Canudos a partir do estudo das publicações jornalísticas por meio das quais a guerra se espalhou internacionalmente em países como Argentina, México, Espanha e Estados Unidos. Interessa-nos apontar como Canudos, no plano nacional, pode ser pensado e analisado como o grau zero da fundação da República brasileira no final do século XIX. No entanto, no plano internacional, a narração da guerra e as representações de Antônio Conselheiro encontram linhas de fuga nada previstas pelas chamadas “narrativas nacionais” que põem em crise e problematizam a assimilação do acontecimento pelas versões hegemônicas. Na tensão entre esses dois aspectos históricos, e diante das políticas antipopulares do governo Bolsonaro, a FLICAN nos propõe, a partir de seu trabalho educacional e cultural, a refundação de um Brasil novo e diverso.

Published: May 2023

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) symptoms are being treated by early diagnosis, where we can only slow the symptoms and research is still undergoing. In consideration, using T1-weighted images several classification models are proposed in Machine learning to identify AD. In this paper, we consider the improvised feature selection, to reduce the complexity by using wrapping techniques and Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM). This present work used the subcortical and cortical features of 278 subjects from the ADNI dataset to identify AD and sMRI. Multi-class classification is used for the experiment i.e., AD, EMCI, LMCI, HC. The proposed feature selection consists of Forward feature selection, Backward feature selection, and Combined PCA & RBM. Forward and backward feature selection methods use an iterative method starting being no features in the forward feature selection and backward feature selection with all features included in the technique. PCA is used to reduce the dimensions and RBM is used to select the best feature without interpreting the features. We have compared the three models with PCA to analysis. The following experiment shows that combined PCA &RBM, and backward feature selection give the best accuracy with respective classification model RF i.e., 88.65, 88.56% respectively.
Implementation of monitoring system for availability of Hyperledger Indy
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Chio Gyu Hyun , Kim Geun Hyung
Published: May 2023

Hyperledger Indy is an open-source implementation of DID, a decentralized identity verification technology. Hyperledger Indy uses the RBFT consensus algorithm, and if there is a lack of consensus with more than a certain number of problem nodes in the pool, data is not added. This problem can be prevented in advance by adding a node, and a node monitoring system was implemented to operate automatically. The node monitoring system continuously checks the status of the pool and automatically adds nodes when there are more than a certain number of problematic nodes to prevent consensus problems from occurring. This proposed method can increase the availability of Hyperledger Indy and is a study that can be referenced in various blockchain services that use consensus algorithms.
Dynamic Computation Offloading Based on Q-Learning for UAV-Based Mobile Edge Computing
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Khisa Shreya , Moh Sangman
Published: May 2023

Emerging mobile edge computing (MEC) can be used in battery-constrained Internet of things (IoT). The execution latency of IoT applications can be improved by offloading computation-intensive tasks to an MEC server. Recently, the popularity of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased rapidly, and UAV-based MEC systems are receiving considerable attention. In this paper, we propose a dynamic computation offloading paradigm for UAV-based MEC systems, in which a UAV flies over an urban environment and provides edge services to IoT devices on the ground. Since most IoT devices are energy-constrained, we formulate our problem as a Markov decision process considering the energy level of the battery of each IoT device. We also use model-free Q-learning for time-critical tasks to maximize the system utility. According to our performance study, the proposed scheme can achieve desirable convergence properties and make intelligent offloading decisions.

Published: May 2023

The study aims to investigate the issues embedded in the secondary-level teacher recruitment system from the structural perspective, which affect the motivation of the teaching profession, appointment and retention, and teacher development. The study applied the qualitative method and identified the issues that cause skill teacher shortage through causal relation analysis. The study used interviews with policymakers and administrators to identify the causes of the shortage of high-quality teachers in secondary institutions and discerned the solutions to ensure quality secondary education in Bangladesh. Adverse appointment and retention systems; and weak and stagnant teacher development facilities, were identified as the demotivating factors for taking the teaching profession. The solutions were found to enhance the attraction for teaching: firstly, by increasing salary, upholding teachers’ position in society and educational administration, and improving the working environment. The appointment and retention systems should be friendly by selecting and facilitating quality teachers. Lastly, a comprehensive and interconnected teacher development system should be initiated to ensure high-quality teachers at the secondary level.
Environmental education at regular schools and in youth and adult education
Authors: Nogueira Christiano , de Oliveira Erica Tobias
Published: May 2023

This study aimed to comparatively investigate the concepts of environmental education (EE) related to elementary school students enrolled in regular schools and in youth and adult education (YAE) in Brazil. A qualitative study was conducted using unstructured interviews. These interviews were carried out with twenty two students of YAE and the regular elementary school with themes formed about relation between human being and nature, conceptions about labor and conceptions of EE. We used the technique of content analysis and Toulmin’s argument pattern to analyze the data. The theoretical basis our study was the relation between the human being and labor. We considered the perspective of the ontological labor’s in the transformation of nature by the human being, and the subsequent transformation of the human being by nature, forming a cyclic process. Our results show that the students’ conceptions are related to a separation of the human being and nature, as well as their ideas about conservation and preservation of nature, recognizing their impacts on the environment. We did not verify any knowledge involving a more complex and critical comprehension about the relation between human beings and nature.This research suggests that the development and application of EE projects, should consider how subjects comprehend the relation between society and nature, leading to interesting outcomes.

In this article, relevant approaches to creating and using mathematical models in linguistics are examined. Analyzed are the types of mathematical methods used to solve linguistic tasks. Also investigated are the fundamental principles for creating mathematical models. Stressed in particular is that the approach usually applied in solving physical tasks can be effective. Its typical feature is that a universal theory explaining the interaction among a system’s functional elements on the most general level is the basis of the model. In this case, the necessary approximating dependencies are not conjectured, as is often the case, but obtained or calculated on the basis of the fundamental theory. The prospects for applying this approach in linguistics are defined. Examples of the modeling of linguistic systems and a comparative analysis of their various methods are provided. Much attention is paid to the universality of the mathematical models used to analyze linguistic material. It is noted that if the approximate dependencies used are based on a system’s general universal properties, this can significantly complicate the quantitative analysis of the data. The advantages and shortcomings of mathematical modeling in solving applied linguistic tasks are illustrated. Besides “classic” models (such as Zipf’s law for the rank distribution of words in a text), other modeling approaches are described. In particular, attention is paid to the methods of constructing mathematical models based on neural networks. In this case, the approximation of dependence is realized in the form of sequential essentially nonlinear transformations. The main disadvantage of this approach is connected with the technical complications of execution and with the absence of overt analytical dependence. The main advantage is hidden in the potential possibility of creating approximate dependencies of practically any type. As a comparison of various modeling approaches, the article provides examples of solving the same linguistic tasks using several methods.

Published: May 2023

Teachers have an important role in education, especially in cultivating the religious character of students. This is because teachers often deal directly with students in the learning process. In addition, teachers can also encourage children to discover, explore and reconstruct their knowledge as much as possible so that later in society they can live independently and be able to work. Religious character is a person's character, character, morals, or attitude and behavior which is formed from the internalization of various policies based on religious teachings. This study aims to describe the teacher's role in shaping the religious character of students. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method, using written data obtained from searching documents, journals and books. From the results of the study it was found that the teacher has an important role in shaping the religious character of students. The teacher's role is to educate, teach, guide, direct, train, assess and evaluate students. In forming the religious character of students, teachers need to create habits through special activities that are mandatory for students to participate in, including (1) requiring students to pray before starting and ending learning. (2) Schedule various extracurricular special religious activities.
