Bridging the Generational Gap in the Hospitality Industry: Reverse Mentoring—An Innovative Talent Management Practice for Present and Future Generations of Employees
Authors: Cismaru Laura , Iunius Ray
Published: December 2019

In the present generational context, talent management approaches and practices have evolved from the stage of “war for talent”, defined by competitiveness and elitism, to a more collaborative and inclusive “post-war stage”. Innovative solutions are increasingly important. In this framework, the main aim of the paper is to confirm that reverse mentoring, a talent management practice which appeared as a response to the necessity to bridge the present generational gap, can be considered a valuable approach in hospitality. Two case studies on the successful implementation of reverse mentoring in Swiss hospitality are presented: the Shadow Comex (Accor) and the ExCom-Y (Mövenpick). Results of a focus-group discussion on the topic of identifying the attitudes and opinions of Romanian employees regarding the implementation of reverse mentoring in hotels are further analyzed. Results support the idea that reverse mentoring has developed and offers great potential for innovation. The present study offers interesting and useful ideas to companies in hospitality on how to implement reverse mentoring. Results from the group discussion demonstrate that Romanian employees have high expectations and innovative approaches regarding the implementation of reverse mentoring, similar to the employees from Switzerland, but they lack trust in their employers regarding the real possibility to implement it.

Published: December 2019

A land-use plan is a core policy tool to curb excessive non-agriculturalization of agricultural land. The effect of plan implementation can affect sustainable land use and regional development. Empirical studies have shown that land development commonly and frequently fails to conform to land-use plans. However, neither qualitative nor quantitative studies are conducted to comprehensively explore the reasons for zoning–land use mismatch. To help bridge this gap, this study explored to what extent a plan has been implemented and what factors have affected zoning–land use mismatch. A new deviation discriminant framework of planning implementation was presented. Moreover, the logistics model was applied to discuss which factors substantially affect the zoning–land use mismatch. The plan implementation results were divided into the conformed, exceeded and unused areas. The general land-use plan failed in its spatial control over rural settlements and other built-up lands, with both more than 90% of the newly added construction land beyond zoning. In addition, the newly added construction land of rural settlements, other built-up lands, and transportation lands all exceeded the quota control. Furthermore, the physical factors of distance from the river, the elevation, the slope and the level, and the social-economic factors of the gross domestic product, the fiscal revenue, the fixed assets investments, and the rank of town have prominent effects on zoning–land use mismatch. Enhancing the flexibility of the land-use plan and strengthening the relationship between planning quotas and spatial zoning in the future are necessary to promote the effect of plan implementation.

Authors: Xie Jin , Ye Xiaofei , Yang Zhongzhen , Yan Xingchen , Lu Lili , Yang Zhen , Wang Tao
Published: December 2019

Shared parking is not commonly applied in residential areas. The reason is that parking suppliers and managers believe that there are many uncertainties and conflicts in obtaining sharing benefits and taking sharing risks. To increase their acceptance of shared parking in residential areas, risk and benefit factors were identified by an influential analysis and a questionnaire survey. A research framework based on the structural equation model was developed to analyze the relationship between shared-parking risks, shared-parking benefits, management pressure, and intentions of parking suppliers and managers. The results showed that, to parking suppliers, the risks of shared parking have the largest effect on suppliers’ intention to apply shared parking by a standardized coefficient of −0.85, followed by the benefits of shared parking (0.29), and management pressures (−0.14). To the parking managers, management pressures have the largest effect on managers’ intention to apply shared parking by a standardized coefficient of −0.74, followed by the benefits of shared parking (0.52) and risks of shared parking (−0.46). These results can help in increasing parking suppliers’ and managers’ acceptance of shared parking in residential areas.

Authors: Zagorskas Jurgis , Burinskienė Marija
Published: December 2019

Increased use of e-powered personal mobility vehicles is usually considered to be a positive change, while it is generally agreed that Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMVs) effectively and efficiently reduce the negative environmental impacts of transport and improve quality of life. There has been great technological progress made by all sectors in the field of personal mobility during the last decade. The use of PMVs for micro-mobility have been welcomed by the market, consumers, and governments and thus they are becoming increasingly popular in modern European society. New technology-driven PMVs provide opportunities to their users, but at the same time create problems with street space sharing, road safety, and traffic offenses. This study gives an overview of recent types of PMVs, offers some insights into upcoming changes and challenges, and raises a discussion on themes related to the increased use of e-powered personal transporters.
Uncertainty Problems in Image Change Detection

Published: December 2019

Image Change Detection (ICD) methods are widely adopted to update large area land use/cover products. Uncertainty problems, however, are well known in such techniques, and a transparent assessment is necessary. In this study, a framework was proposed for evaluating binary land change utilizing remote sensing images. First, two widely adopted ICD methods were used to establish change maps. Second, binary decisions on Change (C) and Non-Change (NC) classes were reached through thresholding on change maps. Then, results were evaluated using two sampling designs: random sampling and stratified sampling. Analysis of results suggests that (1) for random sampling, with an increasing threshold on change variables, the overall accuracy increases and shows a large variance, which is highly correlated with the C omission error; and (2) comparatively, for stratified sampling, in which two strata (i.e., C and NC) were set, the overall accuracy shows a smaller variance and is highly associated with the NC commission error. The significant trends in accuracy assessments indicate the trade-offs between the C and NC classification errors in a binary decision and can present superficial or perfunctory accuracy evaluation in certain circumstances that the causes of error sources and uncertainty problems in ICD are not fully understood.

Published: December 2019

Ephedra sinica Stapf (EH) exert toxic effects, such as excitability, cardiac arrhythmia, and others. On the contrary, in traditional herbal medicine, EH and gypsum (GF) are used most often to treat symptoms caused by external stressors. The hypothalamus plays a crucial role in thermal homeostasis. Inflammatory response in the hypothalamus by thermal stressors may affect thermal and energy homeostasis. This study investigates the effect of EH and GF against heat-induced mouse model. Mice were divided into four groups: saline, saline plus heat, EH plus heat, and GF plus heat treated groups. Heat stress was fixed at 43 °C for 15 min once daily for 3 days. Weight and ear and rectal temperature measurements were made after terminating heat stress. Hypothalamus tissue was collected to evaluate the HSP70, nuclear factor kappa-Β (NF-kB), and interleukin (IL)-1β protein expression levels. EH and GF treatment suppressed the increased body temperature. EH significantly ameliorated heat-induced body weight loss, compared to gypsum. Regulatory effects of EH and GF for body temperature and weight against heat stress were mediated by IL-1β reduction. EH showed significant HSP70 and NF-kB inhibition against heat stress. EH and GF contribute to the inhibition of heat-induced proinflammatory factors and the promotion of hypothalamic homeostasis.

Published: December 2019

Aeromonas hydrophila, a Gram-negative bacterium commonly found in aquatic environments, is pathogenic to amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. In human medicine, the clinical symptoms of aeromonad infection include not only gastroenteritis but also extraintestinal infections, such as wounds, cellulitis, and septicemia, in immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. In this study, ten red-eyed crocodile skinks (Tribolonotus gracilis) that shared the same space were found dead 7 days after being shipped from Indonesia. The necropsy revealed A. hydrophila to be the causative agent, and the isolates were susceptible to most antibiotics, based on an antimicrobial susceptibility test. Seven virulence factors (act, ast, alt, aerA, fla, gcaT, and ahyB) considered to be associated with virulence were detected by PCR. Microscopic examination revealed several necrotic lesions and melano-macrophage centers in the tissue slides. Reptiles caught in the wild for trade experience captivity stress. Furthermore, in the winter, reptiles are easily exposed to the cold atmosphere. These stresses can negatively impact the immunity of these ectotherms, making them vulnerable to A. hydrophila infections. Therefore, to avoid such opportunistic infections and mortality following exposure to severe stress, medical care is recommended. The studies of alternatives, such as bacteriophage and bacteriocin, are needed for a preventive application.

Published: December 2019

Extreme hydrometeorological events have far-reaching impacts on our daily life and may occur more frequently with rising global temperatures. The probability of the concurrence of these extreme events in the upper reaches of the river network is of particular importance for the lower reaches, which is referred to as the encounter probability of extreme events, and may have even stronger socio-economic impacts. In this study, the Rao River basin in China is selected as an example to explore the encounter probability and risk of future flood and drought based on the encounter probability model. The reference period was 1971–2000, and the future prediction periods were 2020–2049 and 2070–2099. The calibrated and validated statistical downscaling model (SDSM) was used to generate future daily precipitation and daily mean temperature. The calibrated and validated Xin’anjiang model was used to predict future daily mean streamflow in the basin. In addition, the encounter probability model was established using the joint distribution of occurrence dates and magnitudes of daily mean streamflow to investigate the encounter probabilities of flood and drought under future climate change. Results show that, for flood occurrence dates, the encounter probability during the flood season would decrease in the two future periods while the dates would generally be earlier. For flood magnitudes, the encounter probability of the two tributaries’ floods and the probability of flood at each tributary would decrease (e.g., the encounter probability with the same-frequency of 100-years would reduce by 53% to 95%), which indicates reduced risk of future major floods in the study area. For drought occurrence dates, the encounter probability during the non-flood season would decrease. For drought magnitudes, the encounter probability would decrease (e.g., the encounter probability with the same-frequency of 100-years would reduce by 18% to 33%), even though the probability of future drought at each tributary would increase. Such analyses provide important probabilistic information to help us prepare for the upcoming extreme events.
The Macrophyte Index for Rivers (MIR) as an Advantageous Approach to Running Water Assessment in Local Geographical Conditions
Authors: Szoszkiewicz Krzysztof , Jusik Szymon , Pietruczuk Karol , Gebler Daniel
Published: December 2019

The Macrophyte Index for Rivers (MIR) was developed in 2007, and it was one of the first biological methods developed in Poland under the requirements of the Water Framework Directive to assess the ecological status of running waters. It is based on the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of 153 indicator taxa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of the MIR method to detect trophic degradation in rivers and to compare its efficiency with other macrophyte metrics. Our investigation was based on 100 sites, representing a very clear gradient from near oligotrophic to eutrophic conditions. The results showed that macrophytes can be distinguished in terms of their ecological requirements for nutrient concentration in water, and this can be used to develop an effective system of freshwater assessment. The MIR was shown to be the indicator most strongly correlated with various forms of nutrients, and it was demonstrated that calibration of the macrophyte method to local biogeographical conditions resulted in greater effectiveness of the assessment method.
Study of the Mobilization of Uranium Isotopes in a Sandstone Aquifer in Combination with Groundwater Data
Authors: Malov Alexander I. , Zykov Sergey B.
Published: December 2019

This work is part of a research project that aims to develop a method for combined radiocarbon and uranium-isotope dating of groundwater. The specific objective of this study was to investigate the mobility of uranium isotopes in the various mineral phases of rocks of an aquifer of sandy-clay deposits of the Vendian in the northwest of Russia, for which a partial extraction procedure was used. Representative aliquots of each core sample were treated with various reagents: distilled water, low mineralized fresh natural groundwater, minopolycarboxylic acid chelating agent (0.05 M EDTA), 0.5M HCl, 15 M HNO3, as well as total digestion, and the U isotope data for each procedure are reported in this study. The following mineral phases of core samples were characterized: sorbed material, carbonate minerals, amorphous iron oxides, partially soluble aluminosilicates and crystalline iron oxides, totally digestible aluminosilicates and a clay/quartz resistate. Red-colored siltstones and sandstones were depleted in uranium in relatively readily soluble mineral phases. The concentration of sorbed uranium was established in the range 15.8 ± 2.1–30.5 ± 3.9 μg/kg and carbonate minerals contained even less uranium. For iron hydroxides and the most readily soluble aluminosilicates, uranium concentrations were in the range 168 ± 24–212 ± 28 μg/kg. The most insoluble fraction contained uranium in the range 1.65 ± 0.21–4.32 ± 0.45 mg/kg. In green-colored siltstones, the concentration of sorbed uranium was much higher in the range 106 ± 14–364 ± 43 μg/kg. Carbonate minerals and amorphous iron oxides contained uranium in the range 1.91 ± 0.21–2.34 ± 0.26 mg/kg. In aluminosilicates and a clay/quartz resistate, uranium concentrations were in the range 5.6 ± 0.5–16.8 ± 1.4 mg/kg. Elevated values of 234U:238U activity ratio prevailed in the sorbed material and iron hydroxides. In aluminosilicates and clay/quartz resistate, the values decreased. This indicates the replacement of primary sedimentogenic uranium by secondary hydrogenic uranium sorbed on the surface of minerals and coprecipitation with iron hydroxides. The results obtained made it possible to carry out preliminary quantitative estimates of the retardation factor and recoil loss factor of uranium in the groundwater of siltstones and sandstones of the studied Vendian aquifer.
Landslide Susceptibility Evaluation Using Hybrid Integration of Evidential Belief Function and Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Li Yang , Chen Wei
Published: December 2019

In this study, Random SubSpace-based classification and regression tree (RSCART) was introduced for landslide susceptibility modeling, and CART model and logistic regression (LR) model were used as benchmark models. 263 landslide locations in the study area were randomly divided into two parts (70/30) for training and validation of models. 14 landslide influencing factors were selected, such as slope angle, elevation, aspect, sediment transport index (STI), topographical wetness index (TWI), stream power index (SPI), profile curvature, plan curvature, distance to rivers, distance to road, soil, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), land use, and lithology. Finally, the hybrid RSCART model and two benchmark models were applied for landslide susceptibility modeling and the receiver operating characteristic curve method is used to evaluate the performance of the model. The susceptibility is quantitatively compared based on each pixel to reveal the system spatial pattern between susceptibility maps. At the same time, area under ROC curve (AUC) and landslide density analysis were used to estimate the prediction ability of landslide susceptibility map. The results showed that the RSCART model is the optimal model with the highest AUC values of 0.852 and 0.827, followed by LR and CART models. The results also illustrate that the hybrid model generally improves the prediction ability of a single landslide susceptibility model.
G.H. Mead, J.P. Sartre and Ya.V. Sokolov, or accounting in search of the present

Published: December 2019

The article considers the problematics of the reflection of time factor in the accounting methodology, making it possible to qualify and assess the facts of business life of companies in a certain way and form their financial reporting. The subject of time in accounting methods is discussed in the light of the provisions by G.H. Mead (1863–1931) and J.P. Sartre (1905–1980). The article also considers some provisions by Ya.V. Sokolov (1938–2010). The concerned example of the time factor influence on the accounting methods can be considered as one of the evidence that the accounting practices, formed by certain political, economic, social and other conditions, and controlled by a set of laws and regulations and/ or professional standards, inherently can’t be the field of realization of some coherent and logically consistent theoretical construction.

In the twenty-first century, information wars have become so widespread that it makes no sense to hush up their role in shaping public opinion. Objectively, it is necessary to recognize that the contradictions within any society that arise for a variety of reasons can undermine stability, plunge the state into a zone of «high turbulence» with uncertain but clearly negative consequences. Statistics, providing specific digital information, allows you to generate, change, maintain, public opinion, to form a worldview and value orientations. In this regard, it is of great interest to analyze the place and role of statistics in conducting information campaigns aimed at achieving national interests of both individual countries and their unions.

Published: December 2019

Pada satu dekade terakhir, Zero Waste muncul sebagai satu dari konsep pendekatan pengelolaan persampahan yang dianggap menjanjikan. Berbagai pihak memperkenalkan Zero Waste sebagai cara baru pengelolaan sampah, yang berupaya mengurangi sekecil mungkin timbulan sampah yang dibuang ke Tempat Pembuangan Akhir. Untuk mengukur keberhasilan penerapan Zero Waste tersebut, beberapa indeks terkait Zero Waste Management telah dikembangkan. Paper ini bertujuan untuk memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan kepada pengembangan Zero Waste Management Index di masa depan melalui sebuah tinjauan terhadap beberapa Zero Waste Management Index yang telah ada dan peluang penerapannya di Jawa Barat. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa indikator-indikator yang dikembangkan dalam Zero Waste Management Index cenderung parsial, hanya mempertimbangkan aspek lingkungan, dan tidak mengintegrasikan pengertian pengelolaan dalam arti luas (yang juga mencakup aspek ekonomi, sosial, finansial, ataupun regulasi dan kebijakan dari sistem pengelolaan persampahan). Lebih jauh, meskipun indeks tersebut berhasil diaplikasikan dalam konteks penelitian yang bersangkutan, namun seringkali tidak dapat digunakan di wilayah atau negara lainnya. Oleh karenanya, studi ini merekomendasikan untuk mengembangkan Zero Waste Management Index yang sesuai dengan kondisi lokal atau regional tertentu dan mengatasi kelemahan-kelemahan dari indeks yang telah ada

Tanakh, Yeni Ahit ve Kur’ân-ı Kerîm Semitik dillerde yazılmış olmalarına rağmen sadece Semitik halklar tarafından okunmakla kalmamış neredeyse bütün dünyada bu metinlere inanan pek çok kişi olmuştur. Semitik metinlerde tinsel varlıkların insanların hayatlarına, insanların da tinsel varlıkların hayatlarına müdahale edebildikleri anlatılmaktadır. İnsanların algı ve tutumları, inanmakta oldukları kutsal metinlerin anlatımları doğrultusunda şekillenir. Bu bağlamda insanlar sağlıklarının, refahlarının, başarılı veya başarısız olmalarının metinlerde anlatılan tinsel varlıklar tarafından etkilenebilir olduğuna inanmaktadırlar. Semitik metinlerde anlatılan tinsel varlıklar, genel olarak iyilik, güzellik ve yardımseverlik kavramlarıyla özdeşleştirilen melekler ile kötülük, uğursuzluk ve zarar verme ile özdeşleştirilen cinler olarak ikiye ayrılmıştır. Ancak bazı metinlerde düşmüş meleklerden de bahsedilmektedir. Semitik metinlerde, tinsel varlıkların yaratıldıkları, kendi iradeleri doğrultusunda davranış sergilemekle birlikte her dilediklerini gerçekleştiremedikleri, ölümlü ve sonlu olup yargılanarak cezalandırılabildikleri veya ödüllendirilebildikleri anlatılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla Semitik metinlerdeki tinsel varlıklar hiçbir zaman tanrı karakteri kazanamamışlardır.
Utilization of Trapa natans
Authors: CEYLAN Esra , KILIÇ PEKGÖZLÜ Ayben
Published: December 2019

In this study, Trapa natans nut
collected from the costs of Inkumu-Bartin was analyzed according to its lignin content.
Acid-insoluble lignin content was determined according to TAPPI T222om-02 as
28.31%. TGA and FTIR analyses were performed.

FTIR analysis indicated that Trapa
natans contained cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. The peaks at
1506-1510 cm-1 in both samples are characteristic peaks for the
lignin components due to C = O and COO-non-symmetric stretching vibrations in
the aromatic rings of the lignin structure. 1510 cm-s peak is found
in the literature as lignin’s fingerprint peak.  The peaks at 1230-1270 cm-1 band
show the vibrations of guayasil ring with CO tension in lignin and
hemicelluloses. Around the peaks of 900, 1025, 1030 and 1050 cm-1
bands cellulose’s O-H, C-H and C-O-C type bonds are seen. When TGA analyzes are
examined, approximately 4.5% of the sample is lost from 30 °C to 200 °C. At
these intervals, samples generally lose volatile constituents and moisture.
From 200 to 271 °C 4.6% of the weight is lost. The decrease in this range may
be due to the decomposition of cellulose and hemicelluloses. The DTG curve
shows maxima weight-loss occurring at 349 °C. The weight-loss in the range from
271-352 °C is about 50%. Pure lignin sample’s TGA and DTG curve results show
10%, 50%, and 70% weight-losses at 233 °C, 489 °C, and 1167 °C respectively. According
to these results, dominantly lignin and small quantities of cellulose and
hemicelluloses are present in trapa samples.

Synchronization in coupled neural network with inhibitory coupling
Authors: Andreev Andrey , Maksimenko Vladimir
Published: December 2019

A theoretical model of a network of neuron-like elements was constructed. The network included several subnetworks. The first subnetwork was used to translate a constant-amplitude signal into a spike sequence (conversion of amplitude to frequency). A similar process occurs in the brain when perceiving visual information. With an increase in the flow of information, the generation frequency of the neural ensemble participating in the processing increases. Further, the first subnetwork transmitted excitation to two large interconnected subnetworks. These subnetworks simulated the dynamics of the cortical neuronal populations. It was shown that in the presence of inhibitory coupling, the neuronal ensembles demonstrate antiphase dynamics. Various connectivity topologies and various types of neuron-like oscillators were investigated. We compare the results obtained in a discrete neuron model (Rulkov model) and a continuous-time model (Hodgkin-Huxley). It is shown that in the case of a discrete neuron model, the periodic dynamics is manifested in the alternate excitation of various neural ensembles. In the case of the continuous-time model, periodic modulation of the synchronization index of neural ensembles is observed.

Published: December 2019

The paper studies the robust control for multi-machine power systems under parametric uncertainties, perturbed mechanical input power and unknown variable communication time-delay. Only relative speed of each electrical generator is available for measurement. The theoretical investigations show that the proposed algorithm synchronizes the multi-machine power system with the required accuracy in the normal mode and under symmetrical 3-phase short circuit faults which occur on ransmission lines. Numerical investigations illustrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme for the three machines and the New England Power system benchmark.
BCI for a brain state control in a dual-task paradigm
Authors: Maksimenko Vladimir
Published: December 2019

The brain resource is limited and it needs to be distributed among the different concurrent tasks. When the subject accomplishes the resource-demanding main task requiring sustained attention, the additional task leads to the reduction of resources allocated for the main task accomplishing. This additional task can be either important or caused by the distraction. Anyway, it causes a performance decrease in the main task. In this paper, we propose a brain-computer interface (BCI) to control the cognitive performance of the visual task accomplishing in the presence of the additional (mental arithmetic) task. We demonstrate how the additional task affects the performance of the main task accomplishing.

The Relationship between Job Burnout and Gender-Based Socio-Demographic Characteristics in Lahore
Authors: Nabi Khan Shamila
Published: December 2019

Job burnout has been extensively researched in the international literature. Burnout is caused by personal and occupational factors. This study analyzes the impact of burnout with respect to different socio-demographic characteristics and job-related factors. Based on a sample randomly selected from various industries in the Lahore region, we use cross-tabulations to analyze the effects of burnout, and calculate the mean frequencies of the variables used. We measure three dimensions of burnout—emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and lack of personal accomplishment—using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey. The study finds that women score significantly on emotional exhaustion while men score higher on cynicism and lack of personal accomplishment, compared to all other socio-demographics. Education and work experience are strongly associated with burnout in women while age and income are significantly related to burnout in men. Women’s higher burnout scores are related to higher levels of education (graduates), less work experience (0–10 years), income (PKR 10,000–25,000), age (24–35 years), being self-employed, and working in the manufacturing industry. Among men, burnout is associated with white-collar (upper and lower) employee positions, work experience of 0–4 years, incomes of PKR 25,000 or more, and working in the services industry. Burnout is more significant among men than women with regard to marital status. Among job stressors, men and women are not significantly different with respect to role ambiguity, role conflict, organizational politics, autonomy, and work overload. Most of our results confirm the findings of other studies on job burnout, with the exception that the male respondents in this study experienced high burnout at an early age (24–29-year-old category), which could be due to ‘reality shocks’ or ‘early career burnout’.
The Four-Day School Week
Authors: Beesley Andrea D. , Anderson Carmon
Published: December 2019

Within the past three decades, a number of schools and districts, particularly those in rural areas, have moved toward a four-day school week. Recent articles and reprots indicate that there are now schools with four-day weeks in Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Louisiana, New Mexico, Idaho, and Nebraska. The reasons for this shift include saving money int he face of declining enrollments and avoiding interruptions and abscences due to sports and activities. Districts contemplating the four-day week need current information about this alternative schedule and how it is working in schools around the country. This report is intended to summarize recent research and other articles on the four-day week and make recommendations to district personnel on whether and how it should be implemented.

Killing Mayberry: The Crisis in Rural American Education
Authors: Bryant Jr. James A.
Published: December 2019

The article provides an overview of the turbulent and challenging times facing teachers and administrators in rural schools. The article examines literature from over the past decade to paint a full picture of the economic and social pressures exerting themselves in rural America and the impact these forces are having in rural schools. This work argues that rural education has been ignored too long by policy makers and even many Americans, and that this crime of omission has had disastrous consequences for many small communities. The article concludes with an examination of some of the tentative but hopeful steps that are being taken to address the crisis in rural education.

An assessment of early generation genetic variability and correlation for yield and quality traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: Yuvaraja A , Gokulvigneswaran P , Suriya Praba S , Nirubana V
Published: December 2019

The second filial generation of cross WGL 14 X CO47 was evaluated for its genetic potential of segregation during kharif 2018. The data were recorded on seven biometrical traits viz., days to flowering, plant height, panicle length, number of tillers/plant, number of productive tillers/plant, duration and single plant yield and three grain quality traits viz., grain length, grain breadth and length- breadth ratio.Wide range of variability was observed in number of tillers/plant, number of productive tillers/plant and single plant yield. The range for the characters days to 50 % flowering, number of productive tillers per plant, panicle length, single plant yield and duration expressed higher variations and offered scope for selection.The phenotypic variability is high in the population studied in comparison with genotypic variability conferring that environmental influence is present for the expression of traits. These characters have also manifested high heritability estimates with low or medium genetic advance as percent of mean. Correlation studies revealed that single plant yield exhibited a positive association with the number of productive tillers/plant, plant height and panicle length. The traits viz., days to 50 % flowering, grain length, grain breadth and grain length breadth ratio recorded negative association with single plant yield.Selection of entries based on number of productive tillers on positive side can improve single plant yield in this population.
Identification of promising high yielding blast resistant rice genotype for hilly conditions of Karnataka
Authors: Hosagoudar GN , Sheshaiah
Published: December 2019

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important food crops from which nearly one third of world's population derives its principal source of calories. The experiment was conducted to discover the impending genotypes suitable for hilly situation of Karnataka. The experimental materials were chosen or selected based on significant superiority or on par yield over the local check variety, i.e., Tunga in the AICRIP investigational trials of paddy. The chosen entries were evaluated for the three years in the station trial at the Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station, Ponnampet in randomized complete block design with two replications during 2016, 2017 and 2018 kharif seasons. Third year Multi Location Trial (MLT) was also conducted at AHRS, Ponnampet and ZAHRS, Mudigere. The pooled data across the years in the station trial revealed that the entry IET-24451 recorded the utmost grain yield (6196 kg/ha) among the entries and gave up 36 per cent increased grain yield over the Tunga and 17 per cent increased grain yield over the KPR-1. The pooled data of MLT across the locations revealed that the entry IET-25281 recorded the utmost grain yield of 6076 kg/ha with 11 per cent increased grain yield over the Tunga and 13 per cent increased grain yield over the KPR-1. The combined pooled data of station trial across the years and MLT trial across locations revealed that the entry, IET-24451 of 6135 kg/ha recorded the maximum grain yield followed by IET-25281 (5970 kg/ha) among the entries. The entry IET-24451 recorded 22 per cent increased grain yield over the Tunga and 15 per cent increased grain yield over the KPR-1, whereas the entry IET-25281 recorded 19 per cent increased grain yield over the Tunga and 12 per cent increased grain yield over the KPR-1 and both the entries IET-24451 and IET-25281 recorded the leaf and neck blast resistance reaction in the Uniform Blast Nursery Screening Pattern. Hence, the entry IET-24451 was recommended for on-farm trial due to its blast resistance trait and yield superiority across the years and the locations.
Nutrient omission plot technique for yield response, indigenous nutrient supply and nutrient use efficiency estimation of rice (Oryza sativa L.) crop in Andaman & Nicobar Islands
Authors: Gangaiah B
Published: December 2019

A nutrient omission plot technique (NOPT) study in RCBD with 8 treatments (omission (-) of N, P, K, NP, NK, PK and no nutrient omission)and 3 replicates per treatment was made on rice at Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands during kharif 2015 to ascertain yield response and find out the most crucial nutrient for fertilization.The results revealed that yield response to fertilizers (NPK) was 2.63 t / ha (60.74%). The yield response of P (23.3 %) got multiplied by 2.16 and 2.60 times when combined with N and K applications as compared to their individual effects. Indigenous N, P and K supply capacity of the soil was estimated as 70.6, 10.0 and 80.0 kg/ha. Agronomic efficiency (kg grain / kg nutrient applied) was severely limited by P omission (10.13). The economics(Rs/ha) of rice cultivation indicates that omission of NPK & NP fertilizers results in losses. The highest profits realized with no omission (+NPK) were reduced by 52.3% with P omission. Omission of K followed by N and NK has less impact on profits. Rice crop duration got prolonged and shortened under P and N omission while K omission has no such effect.
