Cangkringsari Village is located in Sukodono District, Sidoarjo Regency. This village has a population of 1729 people so it produces ± 517.8 kg / day of waste. Waste management especially RW 3 is carried out by the Cangkringsari Berseri waste bank. Cangkringsari Berseri garbage bank is able to serve 66 households out of 125 households. Until now, administrative management is still done manually so that administration runs slowly. In addition, the lack of understanding of the management technology of waste bank administration causes waste management in Cangkringsari Village RW 3 to be less than optimal. To overcome these problems, the method used in this service program is to conduct socialization and training on web-based and mobile waste bank applications. Based on the results of the questionnaire showed an increase of 74% of citizens' understanding of waste bank management technology.

BACKGROUND: Studies evaluating sputum quality and Xpert® MTB/RIF positivity in the context of active case finding are scarce. We aimed to determine whether sputum quality is associated with Xpert positivity and whether the association differed according to demographic
and clinical characteristics.METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis using data from a mass screening programme in Brazilian prisons was conducted from 2017 to 2021. We administered a standardised questionnaire, obtained a chest X-ray and collected a spot sputum sample for Xpert testing.
Sputum quality was classified as ‘salivary’, ‘mucoid/mucopurulent’ or ‘blood-stained’. We used log binomial regressions to estimate the relationship between sputum quality and Xpert positivity, assessing interactions with participant characteristics.RESULTS:
Among 4,368 participants for whom sputum quality was assessed, 957 (21.9%) produced salivary specimens, 3,379 (77.4%) had mucoid/mucopurulent sputum and 32 (0.7%) had blood-stained sputum. Xpert positivity was higher among those with mucoid/mucopurulent sputum than
among those with salivary samples (12.0% vs. 3.7%). Mucopurulent sputum independently predicted Xpert positivity among individuals with and without symptoms, current smoking and abnormal chest radiographs on CAD4TB.CONCLUSIONS: In our study, sputum appearance independently
predicted Xpert positivity, and could be used together with chest X-ray and symptom screening to inform use of Xpert in individual or pooled testing.
Moving Beyond Transactional Coursework to Enhance Student Success in University Classes
Authors: Reavis Mark R , Singh Kuldeep
Published: January 2024

The goal of teaching is student success, but defining success can be daunting. A rudimentary description of student success involves academic achievement and students’ attainment of a high level of satisfaction with their educational process. The pinnacle of student success is transformational learning. Transformational learning is ultimately evidenced by knowledge-based, responsible, and autonomous thinking. Student engagement enhances student success. As a result, course design and assignment design are critical. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how an online discussion assignment can be used to enhance student engagement and increase student success in a university class. The assignment presented in this paper was used in three sections of Global Environment of Business classes in 2021. We designed it to be more than a simple transactional assignment. For the discussion assignment, students were required to address the following: “Should society adopt capitalism or socialism as an economic system? Why?” Students were presented relevant information and were required to think critically about the topic, write their thoughts on a discussion board, and respond to their peers. Then, the instructors evaluated students’ comments, sought to understand their perspectives on the topic, and followed up with appropriate materials in subsequent classes. The coursework moves students toward transformational learning. The assignment requires students to present new information, reflect critically on their point of view, consider the applications of what they have learned, and, finally, think responsibly and autonomously, which is the goal of transformational learning.
Information sharing as a determinant of pro-environmental behaviour in student population in Ghana
Authors: Amengor Cyril , Agama Theophilus , Boapeah Ohenebeng
Published: January 2024

People have always struggled to find a lasting solution to the persistent problem of the management and segregation of waste. The amount and variety of waste produced globally has grown exponentially with the ongoing rise in human population. As a result, there have been several studies conducted in this field, some of which have been supported by private organizations, NGOs, and governments. To protect the environment while progressively achieving global sustainable development, Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB) has been advocated as a universal endeavor for each individual. In affluent nations like the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and France, there is a lot of research on PEB. There is, however, a dearth of research on PEB in developing nations, the majority of which are found in Africa, where poor management and segregation of waste is a major problem. Our goal with this study was to better understand how students at the University of Health and Allied Sciences in Ghana, a developing country, acquire and share knowledge on management and segregation of waste. Our study would provide further details on the main channels by which the student body communicates information about the environment. A chi-square analysis was done to ascertain the association among gender, academic level, and the students’ garbage sorting. Ultimately, we investigated how students’ attitudes or behaviors change after receiving thorough instruction on the significance of acting in an environmentally friendly manner. The following conclusions were drawn from the study: The association between a student’s characteristics, such as gender and academic level, and their propensity to act in an environmentally friendly manner appears to be weak or even nonexistent. Also, a subsequent examination on students’ garbage-sorting behaviors in relation to their academic level produced outcomes that were comparable to those of gender. The benefit of practicing PEB has been made clear to pupils, and we determined that they were ready to accept these standards after receiving this information.
Navigating Professional Paradigms: Transactional Sex, Behavior Change, and Structural Responses in Uganda
Authors: White Shelley K , Kamya Hugo A
Published: January 2024

Professional paradigms within social work and related social service fields have been critiqued for being behaviorally focused, thereby obscuring and perhaps excusing structural determinants of health and well-being. Recent initiatives in international social work have aimed to align theory, practice, education, and research with sustainable development, reflecting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to address structural determinants. Our qualitative research examined responses to transactional sex among Ugandan youth through in-depth interviews with 23 professionals working in social services with youth who were vulnerable to HIV. Through thematic content analysis, using deductive and inductive analysis, we examined the demographics and determinants of youth transactional sex, prominent models of response delivered by and observed by providers, and the critiques or observed limitations of current practice models. We found that behavioral strategies are pervasive, which is an apparent misalignment with the economic determinants identified by social service professionals. While interviewees described some structural economic interventions, they critiqued gaps and limitations in responses influenced by internal and external pressures shaping professional practice. Our study adds critical analyses regarding social work and social service paradigms to advance structural, social justice-informed responses that align with and advance sustainable development.
A avaliação em geografia: conjuntura atual e possibilidades futuras
Authors: Contreras Gabriel Igor Teodoro Moser , De Lima Maria das Graças
Published: January 2024

O ensino de Geografia necessita de uma iminente reestruturação curricular e metodológica. A metodologia desta pesquisa é dividida em três momentos, apresentando-se aqui o primeiro, referente à análise bibliográfica. Objetiva-se a compreensão das práticas avaliativas e proposição de práticas para o ensino em Geografia. A avaliação nacional contemporânea assume um caráter classificatório. Junto ao impeachment, há uma reforma do ensino médio, com influência do capital e ideologia conservadora. A BNCC reflete estes interesses, estabelecendo os itinerários formativos e priorizando o ensino profissionalizante. A avaliação, ainda tradicional, é autoritária e focada no produto final. A relação entre avaliação, currículo e ensino de Geografia na BNCC gera contradições e desafios para os professores. É necessário repensar a avaliação em Geografia, considerando as propostas curriculares e formação do professor.

Este trabalho possui como objetivo analisar, de forma reflexiva, a pesca desportiva como atividade de lazer, turismo e meio de desenvolvimento econômico cuja crescente demanda é expressiva no Estado do Amazonas. Abordou-se a questão do Direito Animal do ponto de vista constitucional e infraconstitucional, examinando o princípio da senciência e sua relação com os peixes. Na sequência, destacou-se o precedente do Tribunal Colombiano o qual, com fulcro no princípio da precaução e da proteção e bem-estar animal, de notória proeminência tornou a Colômbia um dos países pioneiros ao proibir a pesca desportiva em todo seu território. A metodologia utilizada é a dedutiva por meio da revisão bibliográfica e literária, com abordagem qualitativa das informações para o exame do tema. Justifica-se a presente pesquisa pelo fato de que a pesca desportiva vem se expandido no Estado do Amazonas e oferecendo grande vantagem econômica na região por meio do ramo de “pesque-e-solte”, porém questiona-se se essa prática de desenvolvimento econômico e de lazer provoca impactos quanto ao bem-estar dos peixes.

A preocupação com a sustentabilidade, produtividade e rentabilidade das culturas agrícolas direciona o foco da ciência para o tema do uso eficiente de água na agricultura irrigada, a fim de adotar práticas que visem melhorar o rendimento no uso da água nos sistemas de irrigação. Esse trabalho teve como objetivos, avaliar a uniformidade de aplicação de água de um sistema de irrigação por aspersão convencional utilizando o Coeficiente de Uniformidade de Christiansen (CUC) e Coeficiente de Uniformidade de Distribuição (CUD). Além disso, objetivou também, avaliar se o espaçamento de 15m entre linhas e entre aspersores, pode ser recomendado para o aspersor Senninger Wedge Drive 2023. O estudo foi conduzido em uma área irrigada por aspersão convencional fixo, com cinco hectares. As coletas das lâminas de água foram feitas no período da noite sob influência do raio de irrigação de quatro aspersores (área de 225 m2), esta área foi dividida em subáreas quadradas de 3m x 3m de lado, no centro de cada subárea foi instalado um coletor. Após a instalação dos coletores, o sistema de irrigação ficou ligado por 1 hora, as lâminas foram coletadas e medidas por um pluviômetro. No decorrer do teste foram medidas a velocidade do vento, vazão e pressão de serviço dos aspersores. Os resultados mostraram que o espaçamento utilizado de 15m x 15m conduziu a bons resultados tanto para o CUC como para o CUD, e que estes foram influenciados, principalmente pelo horário da irrigação no período noturno, quando a velocidade do vento era baixa e pelo dimensionamento adequado do projeto de irrigação.
A evolução constitucional do direito de propriedade sobre os recursos minerais no Brasil
Authors: Viana Herbert Ricardo Garcia , Xavier Yanko Marcius de Alencar
Published: January 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a atividade de mineração no Brasil à luz do constitucionalismo nacional, abordando em particular a construção histórica do direito de propriedade sobre os recursos minerais, explorando o olhar do direito constitucional brasileiro ao longo do tempo sobre a temática. A metodologia adotada em relação aos níveis de pesquisa preconizados por Duverger (1962) será o descritivo, uma vez que o objetivo principal repousa na descrição. A legislação brasileira em relação ao direito de propriedade sobre recursos minerais passou por diversas mudanças ao longo dos anos. Durante o período colonial e imperial, vigorou o Regime Regaliano, que estabelecia que todos os recursos minerais pertenciam à Coroa Portuguesa. Na Primeira República, foi adotado o Regime de Acessão, que permitia que os particulares adquirissem a propriedade dos recursos minerais mediante a realização de trabalhos de pesquisa e lavra. A partir da Revolução de 1930, foi instituído o Regime Dominial, que estabeleceu que os recursos minerais pertencem à União e podem ser explorados por particulares mediante autorização ou concessão. Ao longo do tempo, houve ainda outras mudanças na legislação, como a Constituição de 1937, que estabeleceu que a autorização para exploração das riquezas minerais só poderia ser concedida a brasileiros ou empresas constituídas por acionistas brasileiros, e a de 1946 que permitiu a participação de capital estrangeiro em empresas organizadas no país. A Constituição de 1988 estabelece pela primeira vez que o subsolo brasileiro e seus bens minerais pertencem a União, reafirmando o Regime Dominial. A mineração é uma atividade que envolve diversos desafios, observou-se nos diferentes períodos constitucionais brasileiros diversas polêmicas envolvendo os Regimes de propriedade sobres as riquezas minerais, muitas delas pacificadas pela mais alta corte do país, o que revela certa instabilidade na construção da regulação da atividade mineradora no país, retratando um ambiente complexo devido a pressões econômicas, sociais, políticas e ambientais.

Morrison's Laughter: Function of Language and Weapon of Discourse
Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Nam Sung-sook
Published: January 2024

Morrison's laughter is different from that of any other literary work. Morrison uses laughter as a weapon for a discourse that dismantles the contradictions of Western conventions built up by dichotomous and rationalistic thinking. She uses laughter as a linguistic function to represent her discourse and a weapon of the discourse. By presenting the characteristics of African American laughter, that is, autonomous, unconscious, lasting for a long time, having a healing function, and combining with tears and dance, Morrison proves cultural differences and also shows the linguistic function of laughter. In addition, Morrison uses the recovery of laughter as a stepping stone to prepare for the future regarding the loss of their unique laughter as the loss of a foundation for life or the loss of the will to live.
Morrison creates laughter as a weapon of discourse that resists dominant thinking prevents violence, and transcendent and universal discourses that break away from rationalism. This kind of laughter represents a difference rather than a language-to-language discourse and shows that there can be a variety of substitutes for language. The invention of imaginary and unrealistic laughter expands the horizons of laughter to unknown areas. Morrison's laughter does not create comedy but contains elements of both comedy and tragedy, transcends the limits of language, evokes empathy beyond language, and embraces a broader scope than the space-time contained in language. Morrison's invention of laughter means that laughter is not fixed, but changes and is created anew like language. The use of laughter allows Morrison’s extraordinary discourse as social, philosophical and cultural views to be flowered in a high level of literary art.
Different Linking Mechanisms in Multiple Wh-Questions in English and Korean
Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Hong Sun-ho
Published: January 2024

In this paper, three key issues in multiple wh-questions in English and Korean are revisited. The first issue explores how all wh-words are connected with a complementizer in multiple wh-questions. It is clarified that each wh-word is licensed in terms of scope and interpretation by establishing a specific relation with a Comp containing an appropriate feature set. The second issue delves into how Multiple Agree can be applied to multiple wh-words in long-distance multiple agreement relations, despite the resulting violation of the Phase Impenetrability Condition (PIC). To solve this challenge, Convergence-Based Transfer (or Spell-Out) is introduced as a solution. In this framework, Transfer is applied to DP, VP, vP, TP, and CP, etc., if they are convergent, even though they are not phases, effectively avoiding PIC problems. Finally, the paper considers the contrasts in the scope interpretation of multiple wh-questions in English and Korean. In certain instances of multiple wh-questions, one of the embedded wh-words remaining in the embedded C takes scope differently in the two languages. The discussion explores the possibility that the contrast arises due to the different linking mechanisms (Multiple Agree vs. Multiple Binding) used in English and Korean.
Comparative Analysis of Lexical Text in Translations of Jane Eyre for Children and Adults Using Text Mining Analytics
Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Kim Dong-mie , Tak Jin-young
Published: January 2024

This study facilitates text mining analytics to compare and analyze lexical differences between the children's (2005) and the adult's (2000) translation of Jane Eyre from English to Korean. Through the present research, we find out the following results: First, regarding pronoun usage, the children's version frequently reiterates a person’s names, resulting in a higher frequency of proper nouns. On contrary, the adult version uses more pronouns to refer a person, presumably aiming to enhance comprehension for children by explicitly using specific names, while adults are assumed to employ pronouns for referents. Second, in terms of Chinese character usage, the adult version utilizes around 230 characters, while the children's version abstains from their use. This suggests that the children's version excludes Chinese characters to facilitate comprehension, while the adult version actively employs them to diversify the lexicon. Last, concerning foreign language usage, the adult version integrates French, corresponding to English, alongside Korean. In contrast, the children's version exclusively uses Korean. This can be interpreted as an effort in the children's version to enhance comprehension by excluding foreign languages, while the adult version seeks to increase linguistic diversity by combining Chinese characters and foreign languages. These findings underscore variations in style and language choices across different translations of Jane Eyre and emphasize the importance of employing suitable translation strategies tailored to a reader’s age and comprehension levels.
Comparison of Korean and Vietnamese University Students in Blended English Classes
Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Leam Ji-soo
Published: January 2024

This study was conducted to compare and analyze the perceptions, satisfaction, and learning strategies of Korean and Vietnamese university students in blended English classes. Vietnamese students had higher negative perception than Korean students for blended English classes, indicating the use of relatively complex methods in blended English classes was a burden on foreign learners. There was a statistically significant difference in the instructor's lecture items in the satisfaction of blended English classes. This suggested that the role of instructors in English classes was very crucial. In learning strategies, interacting with an instructor appeared as a common learning strategy. This further revealed the importance of interaction between instructors and students. In addition, cross-analysis revealed that the rate of using learning strategies in non-native learners was relatively evenly distributed compared with Korean language users. This demonstrated that foreigners who had to pursue classes in a language other than their mother tongue tended to use all the strategies they could for successful learning.
As the demand for blended learning is increasing, instructors need to develop suitable teaching materials, curriculum, and textbooks so that learners can use blended English classes more effectively when learning English. This will require support from higher education institutions, such as providing training programs for instructors, or developing special classes tailored to students pursuing blended English classes.
Longitudinal Relationships Between Linguistic Complexity Features and Second Language Writing
Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Kim Min-kyung , Kim You-jin , Kang Sang-hee
Published: January 2024

This study seeks to investigate how lexical, phraseological, and syntactic complexity features influence the argumentative writing scores of English as a foreign language (EFL) beginning-level learners over two semesters. The participants included 42 EFL students at the university level in a Japanese university. They generated six timed second language (L2) argumentative essays, which underwent subsequent analysis for lexical, phraseological, and syntactic complexity features. The findings suggest that linguistic complexity features significantly predicted L2 writing scores over time. Specifically, beginning-level learners attained higher scores in their L2 argumentative essays when incorporating more sophisticated content words, as demonstrated by elevated age-of-acquisition scores, increased phraseological sophistication utilizing frequently employed bigrams from an academic reference corpus, and enhanced global syntactic complexity through the use of longer T-units. In summary, this study emphasizes longitudinal connections between L2 writing scores and linguistic complexity.

An Analysis of Research Trends in Korean Translation Studies Related to ‘Machine Translation’
Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Chun Hyun-ju
Published: January 2024

This study focuses on the role and importance of machine translation in the digital transformation(DX) environment led by the artificial intelligence(AI) and examines the perspectives of translation researchers, focusing on the use of related terminology. The perspectives on ‘machine translation’(MT) from the research dataset(2014-2023) is categorized into seven types: user and object, detailed function, domain, translation quality, performance method, and purpose of use.
The discussions in translation studies related to the perspective and status of MT terminology use can be comprehensively summarized as follows: 1) The status of MT and human translators; 2) Technological changes and innovative technologies in MT; 3) Coexistence of human and MT; 4) Hybridity and diversity in the use of terminology related to MT. The mixed use of different MT-related terminologies prevailing in translation academia reflects the rapid pace of changes in related technologies. Thus, it is necessary to keep options open to diversity rather than unity and consistency of terminology.
In conclusion, this study provides a comprehensive overview and recognition of the topography of research, areas of interest, and the degree of focus of discussion on MT-related research in Translation Studies of Korea.

Eighty-four accessions of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) collected from Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, were analyzed for seed traits, oil content and fatty acid composition. Field observations on floral and other morphological traits were recorded. Variability was observed in all the agro-morphological and biochemical traits studied. DIVA-GIS software was used to assess the diversity of linseed fatty acid composition for the first time in India. The oil content of the linseed germplasm ranged between 29.4% and 42.6%. IC564681 recorded the highest oil content (42.6%), while the accession IC564591 recorded the least (29.4%). With respect to linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid), IC 564631 possessed the maximum (57.1%) and IC564687 the minimum (39.5%). Linseed germplasm with high oleic acid content was identified with IC564627 recording the maximum of 32%. Based on DIVA-GIS diversity analysis for omega-3 profile and test weight of seed, it was inferred that Kohir, Jarasangham, Nayalkal, Shankarampet and Zaheerabad which are sub-units (mandals) of Medak district and Jainoor, Koutala and Bhimni mandals of Adilabad district are potential areas for collection of diverse accessions.

A experiment was laid in split-plot design and the treatments comprised sprinkler, drip and furrow irrigation as main plot along with three doses of fertilizers, viz F1 (NPK @ 150:150:125 kg/ha), F2 (NPK @ 125:125:100 kg/ha) and F3 (NPK @ 100:100:75 kg/ha) as sub-plot treatments. Results of the study indicated that irrigation methods manipulated the hydrothermal regimes of the soil comprehensively and mean maximum monthly temperature was lowered by about 1.2oC under sprinkler irrigation. Under drip irrigation, moisture was near to the field capacity throughout the growth period, whereas, in conventional furrow irrigation, the moisture status curve traveled from above field capacity to 50% moisture depletion conditions. The yield of tubers was appreciably higher under sprinkler and drip, compared to furrow irrigation method. F1 and F2 exhibited non significant differences among themselves, in respect of tuber yield, but were significantly higher than F3. Economic analysis indicated that sprinkler irrigation and F2 resulted in optimum benefit: cost ratio.
Heat-treatment process and peening intensity on abrasive wear response of agricultural grade boron steel in dry sand and slurry

Published: January 2024

The aim of present study is to understand the low stress abrasive wear response of heat-treated and shot peened agricultural grade boron steel under dry and slurry conditions. Heat-treatment (annealing, inter-critical annealing and quenching and tempering) was carried out to alter the mechanical as well microstructural properties of steel. The surface properties were further improved by shot peening carried out at 0.17 A and 0.27 A peening intensities. The wear test methodology adopted in this study is very well simulated with working condition of soil working fast wearing components of agricultural implements like cultivator sweeps, furrow opener of seed drills and plough share etc. The study reveals that the heat-treatment and shot peening together improve the abrasive wear resistance of boron steel significantly in dry condition but heat-treatment does not have any significant effect on abrasive wear resistance in slurry due to the presence of corrosive media, besides shot peening under such circumstances leads to inferior wear resistance. This technique is found promising to improve the quality of soil working agricultural components working in dry condition but not fruitful in slurry condition.

A new barley variety Pusa Losar (BHS 380), developed at Regional Station, Shimla, is released and notified by the Central Sub-Committee on Crop Standards, Notification and Release of Varieties for Agricultural Crops for commercial cultivation under rainfed condition of northern hills zone. The variety has average forage yield of 5.94 tonnes/ha along with average grain yield of 2.1tonnes/ha from the regenerated crop after cutting for forage. It has shown forage yield superiority over the checks and also grain yield superiority over HBL 276 in regenerated crop. This variety combines resistance against leaf and stripe rusts. Cultivation of newly released variety Pusa Losar (BHS 380) in north- western Himalaya would prove boon for meeting the forage and food requirements of the hilly people for sustaining their livelihood and stabilizing productivity of barley in the Himalayan region.

Field experiments were conducted in bell pepper (Capsicum annum var. frutescens L.) during 2007–10 at Daha-Jagir, Karnal, Haryana with a view to study the validation and economic viability of adaptable IPM technology in a farmers’ participatory approach. The IPM technology for bell pepper crop comprising raising healthy nursery using soil solarization and mixing of Trichoderma harzianum (c.f.u. 2 × 109) along with FYM (@ 10 g/ 100 g FYM/m2); seedling dip in Pseudomonas fluorescence, installation of delta traps @ 2/acre, one or two sprays of neem (Neem Baan @ 10 ml/litre) against aphids in early stages, erection of pheromone traps @ 5/ha, application of spinosad 45 SC @ (75 g ai/ha or 0.5 ml/litre) for thrips, collection and destruction of borers and disease affected fruits, five releases of egg parasitoid Trichogramma chilonis based on pheromone monitoring, two sprays of HaNPV 250 LE/ha in evenings with UV protectant, one spray of ecofriendly emmamectin benzoate 5 WDG @ 0.25 g/lit of water, two to three need based sprays of chemical pesticides like indoxacarb 14.5 SP @ 500 g ai/ha or rynaxpyr 18.5 SC @ 3.5 ml /litre of water and carbendazim + mancozeb 75 SP @ 0.2% etc. was very effective in reducing the incidence of pests and minimizing the yield losses. The adoption of IPM technology resulted in reducing the number of chemical  sprays to 4–5 from 12–14 in non-IPM fields with higher fruit yields of 14.07–24.35 and 21.63 tonnes/ha in IPM and 12.20, 15.58 and 18.0 tonnes/ha in non-IPM fields and with higher CBR of 1:1.99, 1:3.29 and 1:2.81 in IPM than 1:1.48, 1:1.70 and 1:2.30 in non-IPM.

Published: January 2024

In a quantitative analysis of pea rust resistance using a RIL population, heritability estimates for disease severity and AUDPC were found to be 0.90 and 0.93, respectively. High heritability indicated that selection for pea rust resistance can be made under polyhouse conditions using either disease severity or AUDPC as disease reaction estimators. Average degree of dominance (ADD) for resistance to U. fabae was 0.11 and 0.14 for disease severity and AUDPC, respectively, indicating that the genes controlling U. fabae resistance exhibited a low degree of incomplete dominance. Estimates of the minimum number of effective genes conferring resistance to pea rust, using three different methods of estimation, varied from two to three.
