The study was conducted during kharif season (June–October) of 2016 at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Agriculture College, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU), Jagtial, Telangana, India. Forty (40) maintainer lines of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were grown in randomized block design replicated twice to find the relationships between the yield and its components, as well as their direct and indirect effects on the rice grain yield. Observations were recorded for yield, yield attributing characters and quality traits on five randomly selected competitive plants for each entry in each replication for 15 characters. The results revealed that the analysis of variance was significant for all the characters investigated. Grain yield was significantly correlated with its component characters like number of tillers plant-1 (0.9191**), panicle length (0.3339**), milling percentage (0.3214**) and hulling percentage (0.2873**) whereas it showed a negligible positive correlation with days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, kernel length, kernel breadth, L/B ratio, test weight, hulling percentage, and head rice recovery percentage. Path coefficient analysis revealed that number of tillers plant-1 (0.9439) exerted maximum positive direct effect on plant yield followed by kernel breadth, L/B ratio, panicle length, milling percentage, days to flowering and head rice recovery percentage indicated their importance in determining the complex character and therefore should be kept in mind while practicing selection aimed at improving the grain yield.

A field experiment was conducted in vegetable Indian bean (Dolichus lablab L.)–Fodder Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) cropping sequence under integrated nutrient management at Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India during the rabi seasons (November to February) of 2019–20 and 2020–21 and summer seasons (March to May) of 2020 and 2021. It consisted of six INM treatments applied to vegetable Indian bean during rabi season as main plot treatments replicated four times in randomized block design and during summer season each main plot treatment was splited into three sub-plot treatments with three levels of RDF to fodder pearl millet resulting in eighteen treatment combinations replicated four times in split plot design. The experiment was conducted on the same site without changing the randomization of the treatments for the successive year to assess the residual effects. On the basis of two year pooled results, almost all the growth attributes, yield attributes and yield, net returns and B:C ratio were found significantly superior with the treatment T1 (100% RDN through chemical fertilizer+5 t ha-1 of FYM) in vegetable Indian bean. Similarly, during summer season, the residual effect of INM treatments applied to preceding vegetable Indian bean, the treatment T1 (100% RDN through biocompost) recorded significantly higher growth attributes, yield attributes and yield, net returns and B:C ratio in fodder pearl millet but it remained on par with the treatments T6 and T5. Whereas, direct application of fertilizer levels applied to fodder pearl millet in summer season, the treatment consisting of 100% RDF (F3) recorded significantly higher values of growth, yield, net returns and B:C ratio.

The three main plot treatments (variety- TAG 24, TG 51, TG 37A) and six subplot treatments of phosphorus dose were laid out in split plot design with three replications. Highest plant height (70.3 cm), number of branches plant-1 (8.5), crop growth rate (3.67 g m-2 day-1), pod yield (2007 kg ha-1), haulm yield (2876.22 kg ha-1), kernel yield (1360.76 kg ha-1) and oil yield (689.36 kg ha-1) were obtained with groundnut variety TG 51. Whereas phosphorus dose (100% RDF+PSB @ 25 g kg-1 of seed+FYM @ 2 t ha-1) provided highest value for the above characters. Interaction effect was significant for pod yield and kernel yield. The residual effect on succeeding baby corn was found maximum for variety TAG 24 and treatment (100% RDF+PSB @ 25 g kg-1 of seed+FYM @ 2 t ha-1) applied to previous groundnut. So, application of phosphorus @ 60 kg ha-1 along with P.S.B @ 25 g kg-1 of seed and F.Y.M @ 2 t ha-1 may be successful for groundnut variety TG 51 alone and TAG 24 in sequence with baby corn.

The present study emphasized on wood trait indices of Acrocarpus fraxinifolius for understanding the suitability of the species for paper and pulp industries. The study was conducted at the College of Forestry, Ponnampet, Karnataka in 2020. The wood core samples were collected from the trees falling under 130 to 150 cm girth class, standing in coffee-based agroforestry systems of Kodagu, Karnataka, India. A total of 12 wood core samples were collected using the Presseler’s increment borer at breast height level. For wood fibre analysis the core portion was divided and three, i.e., near to the pith portion, middle and periphery, and made as a composite sample. Core samples were macerated using Jeffreys solution technique at Forest Product and Utilization Laboratory, College of Forestry, UAHS, Shivamogga. Fifty measurements on fibre parameters (Fibre length, Fibre width, Fibre wall thickness, and Fibre Lumen width) were recorded for each sample under a stereomicroscope with an inbuilt Image Analyzer. The mean fibre properties recorded, were used for calculating wood anatomical indices such as the Runkel ratio, Slenderness ratio, Flexibility coefficient, and Rigidity coefficient using standard formulas. The mean Runkel ratio, Slenderness ratio, Flexibility coefficient, and Rigidity coefficient were 0.580, 60.132, 63.290, and 0.184 respectively. The anatomical screening suggests that the species can be used as raw material for paper production, based on the indices. Further research is required to explore the mechanical and chemical properties of commercial exploitation for pulping.

THE INFLUENCE OF HERMENEUTICS IN DOUBLE MOVEMENT THEORY (CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF FAZLURRAHMAN'S INTERPRETATION METHODOLOGY)
Authors: Nugroho Kharis , Kiram Muhammad Zawil , Andriawan Didik
Published: August 2023

This study aims to trace the influence of hermeneutics in the theory of double movement. This theory is a new interpretive methodology initiated by Fazlurrahman in response to modernization. In addition, dissatisfaction with the methodology of classical scholarly exegesis is also the reason for this idea. After tracing this theory, it is found that there are several hermeneutic schools behind this theory. Therefore, in the implementation of the double movement theory, controversial legal products are often produced considering that in hermeneutics there is no definite law. While in Islam there are rules that are definite and cannot change the law. With this critical analysis-style research, it is hoped that we can understand and assess the effectiveness of the double movement theory in the treasures of contemporary interpretation.

This paper discusses how the themes of Willa Cather’s The Professor’s House and her ban on publishing her private letters affect our future readings of her work. By utilizing close analysis of the text and evidence from Cather’s life, I show how the novel relates to gender narration and the way women tell their own stories. In the novel, Professor St. Peter adopts two dress forms as his “women,” as Tom Outland does with Mother Eve. The dress forms and Mother Eve have no way to share their own stories, causing the male characters to create stories about the figures. This juxtaposes the unique privilege of self-revelation that Cather gives to Outland in “Tom Outland’s Story.” Cather identified herself with Outland through her desire to manage the revelation of her personal life; however, her reticence led to unwarranted speculation about her character. A similarity can be drawn between this aspect of Cather’s image and the feminine figures in The Professor’s House, as the “women” all become what the people around them need them to be. Reading Cather’s novel from this perspective transforms it into a cautionary tale about the consequences of allowing gendered biases to impact our speculation about a figure’s life.
The Impact of Mobilization in Decreasing Delirium Incidence and Duration in Intensive Care Unit Patients, An Evidence-Based Approach
Authors: DiNunzio Alyssa
Published: August 2023

This evidence-based project addresses the effect of structured mobilization implementation on delirium incidence and duration in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. A review of existing evidence through PubMed, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and Cochrane Library (Reviews). The article’s level of evidence and quality rating was determined with Johns Hopkins Evidence-based Practice Model Appraisal Tools. A total of eight articles were identified, synthesized, and translated into recommendations for practice. The articles included in this project were three Level I, two Level II, two Level III, and one Level V for a total of eight articles. All articles either received a high quality (A) or good quality (B) rating. The articles investigated the effectiveness of different mobilization protocols, specifically the incidence and duration of delirium in the presence of early and structured mobilization. Although further research has been recommended, several articles did find a decrease in delirium incidence and duration with this intervention. The studies also found a need for sufficient staff support to facilitate the mobility protocol in full. Despite some inconsistencies throughout the literature, several studies support mobilization protocols to decrease delirium incidence and duration in the ICU. The recommendation includes further research with larger sample sizes to study the effects of mobility protocols on delirium duration and incidence. Furthermore, an adequate number of staff, sufficient time for implementation and documentation, and proper staff education must be available to facilitate this intervention.

The aim of the present study was to isolate Enterococcus species from mastitis in cows, investigate the vancomycin resistance genes in the isolated species using PCR, and determine the antibiotic resistance of VRE strains to some antibiotics commonly used in Turkey. A total of 512 mammary quarter milk samples from 150 lactating cows were used. Following phenotypic typing by a commercial identification kit, multiplex PCR was applied to the strains using species specific primers. The Enterococcus isolation rate was found to be 13.9% (n=71). The most frequently isolated species was E. faecalis (n=40, 56.3%), followed by E. faecium (n=16, 22.5%), E. solitarius (n=6, 8.5%), E. durans (n=5, 7.1%) and E. hirae (n=4, 5.6%). Of 71 Enterococcus strains, 19 (26.7%) were determined to be VRE. While a total of five vanA (7%), 10 vanB (14%) and 12 vanC2/C3 (16.9%) genes were detected in the strains, none of the strains harbored the vanC1 gene. The vancomycin resistance gene was not found in any E. solitarius strain. While all of the VR 19 strains were phenotypically resistant to vancomycin and fusidic acid, high resistance rates were also determined in the strains to streptomycin (84.2%), erythromycin (73.7%), tetracycline (68.4%), penicillin G (68.4%), gentamicin (68.4%), lincomycin (57.9%), cephalothin (52.6%) and kanamycin (52.6%). Consequently, it was thought the VRE positive mastitic milk samples may comprise a potential risk for public health. To our knowledge, this is the first study showing the presence of VRE in milk with mastitis by PCR in Afyonkarahisar.

Sarcoptic mange triggers continuous oxidative onslaughts, resulting in severe oxidative stress in pigs and, to date, no antioxidant has been evaluated for the treatment of naturally infested pigs. This randomized clinical trial aimed to assess the ameliorative potential of the antioxidant quercetin (QR) when integrated with ivermectin (IVM) in the treatment of sarcoptic mange in pigs. The control group (T0 , n=10) consisted of healthy subjects. The first treatment group (T1 , n=10) consisted of infested pigs receiving the standard treatment (subcutaneous IVM only) while the second treatment group (T2 , n=10) consisted of infested pigs receiving integrated treatment (subcutaneous IVM plus oral QR). On day 0, the circulating malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly higher and superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and antioxidative minerals (zinc, copper, iron) were lower in all infested pigs compared to the healthy subjects. On day 14 post-treatment, maximum recovery was observed in the MDA, SOD, GSH, CAT, TAC, zinc, copper and iron in group T2 and the results returned to normal earlier in group T2 than in T1 . Likewise, more significant improvements in parasitological cure rate, scratching index and skin score were recorded after treatment in group T2 than group T1 . These results suggest the greater effectiveness of IVM plus QR than IVM alone against sarcoptic mange, and quercetin may be recommended as an ancillary therapy with IVM to negate severe oxidative stress, improve post-therapy convalescence and produce a speedy recovery in pigs.

Callus induction was attempted from the four explants viz. root, cotyledon, epicotyl, and leaf segments excised from in vitro raised seedlings of C. jambhiri. Among various MS media supplementations with growth regulators and carbohydrates, the maximum (95.50%) and the earliest (8.30 days) callogenesis was obtained in epicotyl segments, when cultured on MS medium supplemented with NAA (10.0 mgl-1) + BAP (1.0 mgl-1) + sucrose (8%). The modified MS (macro and micro-nutrients reduced to half) fortified with BAP (5.0 mgl-1) + GA3 (3.0 mgl-1) recorded maximum shoot regeneration (43.10%) from callus, with an average of 5.30 shoots per callus after 35.50 days of culturing. However, prolonged exposure to GA3 resulted in thin elongated shoots and leaves. The age of the callus substantially influenced the plant regeneration frequency. The potency of the callus to regenerate decreased significantly with an increase in the age of the callus. Shoot regeneration was recorded maximum (43.43%) in 60 days old calli, followed by 90 days old (30.48%) calli, whereas it was minimum (10.46%) in 150 days old calli. The maximum (79.50%) shoot proliferation was recorded in MS medium supplemented with BAP (1.0 mgl-1) + Kin (0.5 mgl-1) with an average of 5.06 shoots per culture. The MS medium fortified with NAA (1.0 mgl-1) + IBA (1.0 mgl-1) induced maximum (77.33%) rooting, with an average of 3.19 roots per shoot after 13.4 days of culturing. Rooted plants were hardened and survived the best (83.6%) on the potting mixture consisting of cocopeat + vermiculite + perlite (2:1:1).

Mango fruits majorly suffers from anthracnose and fruit fly infestations during storage, transportation and marketing. Hot water treatments (HWTs) at specific levels have shown to control the incidence of these important threats. Application of HWT not only act as a quarantine measure, but also maintains the quality and enhance the marketability of fruits, even at room temperature (RT), leading to its vast applicability in local / international markets. In this study, post harvest application of HWTs (48°C for 60 min and 55°C for 10 min) in mango cv. Banganapalli recorded reduced ethylene production rate, physiological loss in weight, improved sugar content, ascorbic acid, total carotenoids, phenolics and antioxidants compared to control. Combination of HWTs (48°C for 60 min followed by 55°C for 10 min) resulted in degradation of some quality parameters compared to individual HWT and control.

Investigations were carried out to identify the source of resistance in 67 bottle gourd genotypes for gummy stem blight, powdery mildew and cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) diseases, under natural field epiphytotic conditions. The genotypes BG-95 (105.13), BG-114-1 (131.04), BG-114-3 (208.81) and BG-77-6-1 (221.80) were resistant for gummy stem blight with low AUDPC values, while, BG-125-5 (232.22), BG-6-3 found (250.00), BG-125-4 (307.78), BG-8-1 (308.89), BG-125-2 (311.11) and BG-124-2 (423.33) resistant with low AUDPC values for powdery mildew. Further, the two genotypes such as IIHR-19 and BG- 131 showed field level resistance against CGMMV. The selected genotypes based on field evaluation were subjected for artificial screening under glass house conditions. The genotypes, recorded consistent resistant reactions were BG-114-3, BG-77-6-1 and BG-95 for gummy stem blight disease and BG-6-3, BG-8-1, BG-125-4 and BG-125-2 for powdery mildew. The stable and durable source of resistance identified for gummy stem blight and powdery mildew in bottle gourd genotypes will hasten the process of developing resistance varieties in bottle gourd.
Odio al discurso. Punto de fuga de los discursos de odio
Authors: Rodríguez Amieva José Manuel
Published: August 2023

A partir del atentado contra la vicepresidenta de Argentina se instaló en la arena política y en la agenda mediática local el término «discursos de odio» como recurso explicativo clave de los móviles del ataque. Atendiendo a tal acontecimiento nos valemos de la amplificación polémica del tratamiento de las condiciones y mecanismos implicados en la descalificación de una figura pública destacada, con el fin de distinguir más claramente el circuito de hostilización que afecta a amplios sectores de la población cuyas identidades y necesidades se mantienen invisibilizadas. Puntualmente, recalamos en la experiencia de incertidumbre, con los afectos anexos de angustia y miedo, promovida por la precarización contemporánea de las condiciones de existencia, señalando el estado oscilante e inestable de dichos afectos y el deslizamiento contingente que consienten hacia el odio y el pasaje al acto violento. Advertimos, en ese tenor, los riesgos que los discursos de odio comportan para la constitución política de la vida, máxime en cuanto su expresión más extrema expele un odio radical al discurso, como fundamento del entendimiento común. En este contexto, para desentramar el intricado conjunto de enunciadores y procesos involucrados en la difusión de los discursos de odio, estimamos que es propicio desarrollar al respecto un análisis semiótico psicosocial, dirección en la que avanzamos en esta comunicación.
Concepciones sobre la experimentación escénica contemporánea
Authors: Paoletta Anabel Edith
Published: August 2023

En el presente artículo se abordan distintas concepciones sobre el concepto de experimentación con el objeto de distinguir sus usos respecto de las ciencias en las que se aplica. Uno de los pilares del trabajo consiste en identificar y analizar las concepciones de “experimentación” en el campo del arte y en el campo teatral. Por ello, se propone indagar en torno a las apropiaciones del concepto de experimentación con diferentes grados de adhesión-conformidad-tensión-oposición, que desde el campo artístico se visibilizan en las experimentaciones teatrales argentinas.

Por el cruce e interrelación artística que la noción de experimentación promueve, nos interesan los aportes contemporáneos de diversos artistas e investigadores de arte, referenciados y analizados en esta presentación. Se atiende a las relaciones que emergen entre la experimentación y las prácticas escénicas argentinas en reacción a la tradición teatral occidental, en relación a las propuestas emergentes de los años sesenta, a las puestas que caracterizan la reapertura de la democracia en los 80 y las obras presentadas hacia fines del siglo XX e inicios del siglo XXI. Se focaliza en las tentativas y variaciones técnicas que representan la alteridad a las formas canónicas, sedimentadas en las técnicas de producción argentina.
