Published: April 2023

An experiment entitled, “Studies on effect of different paddy cultivars with various cultivation methods of paddy in relation to weather parameters.” was carried out during kharif, 2018 at Agricultural Research Station Farm,Vadgaon Maval, Tal. Maval, Dist. Pune. The field experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. There were sixteen treatment combinations comprising of four varieties viz., VDN-3-51-18 (Indrayani), VDN-99-29 (PhuleSamruddhi), IET-13549 (Bhogawati) and RDN-99-1 (Phule Radha) and four cultivation methods viz., M1 : Four Point Agro Technique (Char Sutri Method), M2 : Drilling at 22.5 cm, M3: Saguna Rice Technique (SRT) and M4 : Modified Direct Seeded Rice Technique (MDSRT). The gross plot sizewas3.40 m x 3.40 m. From the data it was observed that sowing of paddy varieties with Modified Direct Seeded Rice Technique (MDSRT) favorably influenced all the yield components. This is due to positive correlation with minimum temperature, RH I and RH II. It would be, therefore, suggested to adopt sowing paddy variety Phule Samruddhi or Indrayani with Modified Direct Seeded Rice Technique (MDSRT) to obtain maximum yield.

With increasing population and health-related problems, more emphasis is given to substitutes for generally grown cereal crops. It is widely cultivated for forage purposes because of its high regenerating capability. Oat grain has tremendous health benefits. Therefore the study of variability and correlation among yield contributing traits becomes important. Keeping this in view, in the present research sixteen morphological traits were studied for fifty six diverse oat genotypes. The experiment was conducted in RCBD design during Rabi 2017-2018. Significant variation was seen for all the traits under study. High GCV and PCV were seen for most of the most of traits except plant height, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for most of the characters viz., flag leaf length, leaf length, leaf width, leaf stem ratio, internode length, number of tillers plant-1, peduncle length, axis length, number of spikelets plant-1, seed yield plant-1, 100-seed weight, green fodder plant-1 and dry fodder plant-1. Genotypes namely HFO878, HFO-614, HFO-879 and HFO-707 showed good performance for both seed yield as well as green fodder yield. A study of variability, genetic advance, heritability and correlation will provide an opportunity for fruitful selection of the genotypes based on traits with high genetic advance and heritability and showing positive significant correlation with economic yield. Among the different traits which showed positive significant correlation with seed yield and green fodder yield, interestingly tillers plant-1 showed positive significant correlation both.

Published: April 2023

The fresh, ripe fig fruits of cultivar ‘Poona’ were subjected to pre-treatments of dipping oil with two concentrations i.e. 34 and 38 ppm. The fruits were dipped in dipping oil for 1 minute and then subjected to sulphur fumigation for 2 h. Fig fruits were then dipped in three concentrations of sugar syrup i.e. 50, 60 and 70°Brix for 48 hour to reach desired total soluble solids and then dried at 55°C temperature till 18-20 per cent (wb) moisture content was attained. While drying, moisture content, drying rate and moisture ratio were monitored at 1 hour interval. It was observed that rate of moisture reduction as well as drying rate was higher for figs treated with higher concentration of dipping oil (38 ppm) as well as immersed in sugar syrup solution of high concentration (60°Brix). Drying process showed only a falling rate period. The exponential equation of moisture ratio verses drying time provides excellent fit to the experimental data on drying of fig sample with highest drying constant (k) and R2 value.

Under Changing Climatic Condition in Scarcity Zone of Maharashtra.” to find out most optimum meteorological week for sowing sorghum in rabi season, to study the relationship between meteorological parameters and yield by using four different sowing windows. The results were obtained from the experiment; it was found that rabi sorghum sown at MW 40 (01-07 Oct) produced maximum pooled grain yield (808.28 kg ha-1), fodder (1494.11 kg ha-1) and total monetary returns (Rs. 26633 ha-1). Among the varieties, M-35-1 was produced significantly higher grain yield (717.94 kg ha-1), fodder yield (1559.03 kg ha-1) and total monetary returns (Rs. 24968 ha-1) over the other variety. The meteorological studies showed that the mean CUM and MUE recorded by sorghum crop was 240 mm and 2.7 kg ha-1 mm. The highest CUM was recorded by S1 sown crop (282 mm) however the MUE was recorded by S3 sown crop (3.5 kg ha-1 mm). This indicated that S3 sown crop (Chitra Nakshtras) utilized moisture more efficiently than other dates of sowing. Among the variety M-35-1 recorded maximum mean CUM (266 mm) and MUE (3.1 kg ha-1 mm) than other varieties. The number of days required to attain physiological maturity and growing degree days were higher in S3 sown crop. Among the varieties it is higher in M 35-1 than Mauli and Yashoda. In case of RUE initially values were low, it increases up to 70 DAS (i.e. up to 50 percent flowering to soft dough stage) further it decreases in all most all the sowing dates.

To enhance the yield potential of existing varieties along with creation of new varieties with stable and high yield potential is the basic aim of plant breeders. Keeping these points in view, his experiment was carried out to study the comparative performance and association of yield attributing characters with grain yield including path analysis in seventy three diverse rice genotypes at two research farms with different sodicity levels. The correlation coefficient analysis revealed the positively and significantly associated with productive tillers plant-1, fertile spikelet panicle-1, spikelet fertility %, biological yield plant-1 and 1000 grain weight while Path analysis showed biological yield plant-1, harvest index, chlorophyll content and 1000- grains weight had positive and high direct effect on grain yield respectively at both sodicity levels. Hence direct selection of any traits namely biological yield plant-1, harvest index, chlorophyll content and 1000 grain weight can be effective for future breeding programs to improve yield trait. Improvement in these traits will result in simultaneous improvement of yield.

Medical Students’ Empathy During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A cross-sectional study
Authors:   Psychiatric Day Hospital “La Clé”, Liège, Belgium, Triffaux Jean-Marc ,   Department of Psychiatry, Medicine, University of Liège, Belgium
Published: April 2023

Several authors have underlined the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health in several populations, including medical students, such as increases in anxiety, depression and burnout symptoms. Furthermore, previous studies showed that anxiety and depressive symptoms are positively associated with affective empathy and negatively associated with cognitive empathy. Given the adverse pandemic effects highlighted by several authors, the present study sought to determine whether medical students’ empathy has been potentially impacted, with higher affective empathy and lower cognitive empathy score in the pandemic cohort compared to pre-pandemic cohorts. Medical students (n = 395) were recruited during the COVID-19 pandemic and completed the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) and the Basic Empathy Scale (BES). This cohort was then compared with two pre-pandemic cohorts (one used the BES [n = 1168], and the other used the IRI [n = 342]). Similar results were found on both scales: the pandemic cohort displayed significantly higher scores in affective empathy and personal distress (affective empathy domain) and, surprisingly, significant higher scores in cognitive empathy, fantasy, and perspective-taking (cognitive empathy domains). As stressed by previous studies, we posited that the higher scores in affective empathy, personal distress, and fantasy might indicate emotional difficulties. The paper concludes with the identification of empathy components that should be promoted in the curriculum of medical students.

Authors: Komjáti Sára Luca , Ózsvári László , Vetter Szilvia
Published: April 2023

A szerzők célja a hazai állattartási szokások és az állattartók motivációinak feltérképezése volt. A vizsgálatban 843 magyar válaszadó vett részt 2021. június 20. és augusztus 30. között. A kutyatartók 97%-a családtagként tekint kutyájára, közel 25%-uk nem szeretné ivartalaníttatni állatát. Az ivartalanítás megtagadásának vezető oka kutyák esetében a későbbi tenyésztési, szaporítási lehetőség, a macskatartók körében pedig a beavatkozás anyagi vonzata volt, második legjellemzőbb válasznak mindkét csoportban az ivartalanítás feleslegesnek ítélése bizonyult. Az állattartók, a nők, a fiatalabb korosztály tagjai, valamint a magasabb fokú végzettséggel rendelkezők fontosabbnak vélik az állatok jóllétét, legyen szó társállatról vagy haszonállatról. A megkérdezettek 42,3%-a szerint egyáltalán nem, 47,3%-a szerint inkább nem ideálisak a haszonállatok számára a telepi körülmények.

Authors: Gonzalez Jeric B. , Mores Grethel M.
Published: April 2023

This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of extracts from the skin, Polian vesicle, Cuveirian tubules, and intestines of sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive bacteria) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative bacteria). The disc diffusion method evaluated the antibacterial activity of sea cucumber H. leucospilota extracts. All treatments show inhibitory effects in both test microorganisms however cuvierian tubules have no effect on E. coli. Among the six treatments tested in S. aureus, the skin has the highest zone of inhibition with an average of 23.25mm followed by the intestine at 14.75mm, positive control at 10.25mm, and Polian vesicle at 9.00mm, respectively. The majority of the treatments were classified as bacteriostatic towards the test microorganisms.  Based on the findings of this study, the Gram-positive bacteria, S. aureus was more susceptible than the Gram-negative bacteria, E. coli. Therefore, it was concluded that sea cucumber extracts especially H. leucospilota collected in Carmen Bay, Romblon, Philippines, exhibited antibacterial potential towards test bacteria. The results of this study suggest that H. leucospilota is a potential source for discovering new antibiotics. Thus, this species has a potential for the pharmaceutical industry. It also suggests further investigations need to be carried out to determine its potential application in other aspects of medicine. In addition, elucidation of the compounds responsible for the bioactive including identification, sufficient isolation, and purifications, and also the analysis of the antibacterial mode of action should be done for natural drug development in the future.

The combination of prebiotics stimulates the growth of intestinal biota. Atomized extracts containing phenolic compounds promote the proliferation of some lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The objective of this research was to determine in vitro prebiotic potential of the atomized extract (AE) of Swartzia polyphylla (Cumaceba), Maytenus macrocarpa (Chuchuwasi) and Jatropha macrantha (Huanarpo male) on L. plantarum ATCC 14917 and L. acidophilus ATCC 4356. To do this, the bacteria were grown in the De Man Rogosa Sharp (MRS) media containing 1 and 2% (w/v) of AE in anaerobiosis at 37 °C for 48 h. Then, the cell count was performed in MRS agar, and the kinetic parameters and pH were measured. In addition, the resistance of these bacteria to simulated gastrointestinal conditions was assessed. The AE stimulated bacterial growth by maintaining a cell concentration greater than 10 x 106 for 48 h. The growth rates were 0.635 and 0.656 h-1 for L. plantarum as well as 0.391 and 0.516 h-1 for L. acidophilus in the MRS media containing 1% and 2% (w/v) of AE, respectively. The protective effect of the AE under simulated gastrointestinal conditions for L. plantarum and L. acidophilus was significant at pH 7.0 and 2.0, respectively. Overall, the AE presented prebiotic potential in vitro.

Um Meta-Modelo para Especificação de Arquiteturas de Software em Camadas
Authors: Silva Lyrene Fernandes da , Paula Virgínia C. Carneiro de
Published: April 2023

A crescente complexidade dos sistemas de software tem levado a comunidade de pesquisadores e projetistas a criar ou melhorar técnicas e métodos para o desenvolvimento, de maneira a aumentar a satisfação de clientes e a produtividade dos projetistas. A reutilização de código já não é suficiente para a grande demanda por softwares de alta qualidade nem para a engenharia deles. Desenvolver componentes de alta abstração é necessário. Porém, reutilizar ou integrar estes componentes a outros são tarefas que demandam um certo trabalho. A escolha de uma boa arquitetura é o primeiro ponto a se pensar. Uma expressiva e completa representação do sistema ou partes dele é outro fator crucial para o desenvolvimento de sistemas baseados em componentes reutilizáveis. O presente trabalho tem o intuito de apresentar um meta-modelo para especificação de arquiteturas de software em camadas que visa facilitar a comunicação entre arquitetos e projetistas e a transformação da arquitetura em design detalhado do software. Este meta-modelo é fruto da integração de algumas tecnologias que estão sendo largamente utilizadas por desenvolvedores de software, a UML (Unified Modeling Language) e os conceitos de estilos e visões arquiteturais priorizando a reusabilidade.

Este artigo apresenta uma estratégia de Reengenharia de Software Orientada a Componentes Distribuídos para reconstrução de sistemas legados. Componentes são utilizados para facilitar a manutenção do sistema reconstruído e permitir sua execução em plataformas heterogêneas e distribuídas. A estratégia é realizada em 5 passos. No passo Organizar Código Legado, organiza-se o código legado segundo os princípios da Orientação a Objetos. É um passo preparatório para facilitar a transformação de um código procedural para orientado a objetos. No passo Gerar Especificações Orientadas a Objetos, o código legado procedural é transformado para especificações do primeiro nível da linguagem de modelagem Catalysis. No passo Especificar Componentes, o engenheiro de software parte do projeto original do código legado, obtido das especificações do primeiro nível de Catalysis, e especifica os componentes em uma ferramenta CASE, conforme o segundo nível de Catalysis. No passo Projetar Componentes, o engenheiro de software faz o projeto interno dos componentes, seguindo o terceiro nível de Catalysis. Finalmente, no passo Reimplementar Sistema, as especificações em Catalysis são transformadas para uma linguagem de programação orientada a objetos, obtendo-se a implementação final do sistema.

Existem muitas similaridades entre um gerador de artefatos e um framework. Sob uma ótica de framework, as partes fixas do artefato gerado corresponde aos frozen-spots, já as partes variáveis corresponde aos hot-spots. A atividade de configuração dos hot-spots de um framework corresponde ao fornecimento da especificação do artefato que vai ser gerado. Já a instanciação de um framework, no contexto do gerador, corresponde aos mecanismos de geração. Em função das semelhanças encontradas entre geradores e frameworks, este artigo procura detalhar o processo de construção de geradores sob o ponto de vista do desenvolvimento de frameworks.

Published: April 2023

The last few years have produced many improvements in software development methodologies and modeling languages. The use of Unified Software Development Process, Unified Modeling Language and Object Oriented languages has proved to be a step forward for every developer who works hard to deliver a good software. However, there is still a lot to do in terms of tools. There are already many good CASE tools as far as drawing is concerned. But it is hard to find one where drawing and documentation can be done consistently and integrated, as they should be. eDoc is a tool which can be integrated with traditional CASE tools in order to provide: visibility over the relationships among model elements, support for requirements capture, explicit linking between requirements and its correspondent use cases, use of templates for documentation, a way for the stakeholder to access the documentation, single glossary and finally consistency between diagram and document.

Malaysia merupakan sebuah negara yang mempunyai keutuhan hubungan awam-tentera (strong civil-military relationship SCMR) pada tahap yang memberangsangkan. Segala polisi dan dasar berkaitan pertahanan negara melalui SCMR dilihat amat mesra dengan komposisi masyarakat berbilang kaum yang wujud di Malaysia. Maka, kewujudan konsep Pertahanan Menyeluruh (HANRUH) merupakan salah satu manifestasi gerak kerja SCMR untuk menggalakkan rakyat Malaysia bersama-sama berganding bahu mempertahankan kedaulatan negara. Namun, konsep HANRUH tersebut kurang mendapat perhatian dalam kalangan rakyat disebabkan lemah daripada sudut hebahan dan promosi yang menimbulkan persoalan sejauh manakah SCMR di Malaysia dianggap utuh tanpa melibatkan rakyat dalam perlaksanaannya? Objektif kajian adalah untuk membincangkan konsep SCMR dan HANRUH secara umum dan pendekatan SCMR dalam menggalakkan penglibatan rakyat terhadap HANRUH. Data kajian diperolehi menerusi kaedah kepustakaan yang melibatkan penganalisaan sumber-sumber seperti buku, jurnal, majalah ilmiah, tesis, laman sesawang dan temu bual responden. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa SCMR merupakan faktor penting di dalam memastikan keamanan dan kestabilan negara di samping juga dapat memberi implikasi bersifat galakan terhadap penglibatan rakyat di dalam sistem pertahanan negara khususnya melalui pelaksanaan konsep HANRUH.

Introduction Research in Peru presents several barriers that impede its development and that also affects the theses to graduate as physician. Our objective was to characterize the theses for obtaining a medical degree in Peru. Methods An observational and descriptive study evaluating the theses for obtaining a medical degree of 2019, evaluated in January 2022 from 22 universities that are full members of the Peruvian Association of Faculties of Medicine. Characteristics of the universities and theses were evaluated, including the evaluation of a institutional research ethics committee, the aligment with a national research priority, and publication status in a scientific journal. The absolute and relative frequencies of the study variables were described. Results A total of 1838 theses were evaluated. Most of the theses were written by a single student (66.16%). The most common study design was the descriptive cross-sectional type (42.33%). We found that 53.86% of the theses responded to a national research priority, the most common being "maternal, perinatal and neonatal health" (26.01%). Of the total, 56.75% did not indicate whether they had the approval of an institutional research ethics committee. Only 40 theses (2.19%) were published in a scientific journal (14 in indexed journals). Conclusion Two-thirds of the theses conducted by medical students in Peru are descriptive studies. Half respond to national research priorities. Four out of ten theses were approved by an institutional research ethics committee. The number of published theses is low. The results show shortcomings in university institutional policies that encourage ethical compliance and research development.
Reoptimalisasi Kebijakan Hukum Perlindungan Anak Dalam Penanganan Kasus Perundungan (Bullying) Di Indonesia
Authors: Faqih Arifin
Published: April 2023

Perundungan masih menjadi masalah laten yang menghantui dunia pendidikan di Indonesia. Kasus perundungan dalam beberapa tahun terakhir telah menunjukan inklinasi yang ekstrem, termasuk menimbulkan korban jiwa anak-anak, baik secara langsung maupun akibat trauma berkepanjangan. Upaya-upaya pencegahan dan penanganan pada dasarnya telah dan terus diintegrasikan sepanjang waktu, termasuk dengan pembentukan Komisi Perlindungan Anak Indonesia (KPAI), pengesahan Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2002 dan perbaikan kurikulum serta sistem pendidikan. Upaya pemerintah dalam memberantas kasus perundungan dan kekerasan dilingkungan sekolah, secara dialektik telah menemui beberapa momentum penting, termasuk salah satunya dengan Permendikbud No.82 Tahun 2015 tentang Pencegahan dan Penanggulangan Tindak Kekerasan di Lingkungan Satuan Pendidikan. Peraturan ini diorientasikan untuk menciptakan kondisi proses pembelajaran yang aman, nyaman, dan menyenangkan, serta menghindarkan sekolah dari unsur-unsur tindak kekerasan serta perundungan. Secara komplementar, termaktub pula ancaman sanksi bagi satuan pendidikan dan kepala sekolah, dalam hal masih terdapat tindak kekerasan di lingkungan sekolahnya. Namun, dalam tataran implementasi, masih ditemui banyak hambatan yang menyebabkan aturan-aturan tersebut belum dapat direalisasikan dengan sempurna. Karenanya, perlu diupayakan tindakan reoptimalisasi kebijakan hukum melalui pengintegrasian konsep restorative justice, penguatan sektoral dalam sistem pendidikan, lembaga terkait, dan kapasitas orang tua serta semua pihak guna mendukung upaya penyelesaian latensi perundungan anak di Indonesia.

Kata Kunci: Perundungan, Restorative Justice, Kebijakan Hukum, Reoptimalisasi.

France’s strategy in the Baltic region: military and political aspects
Authors: Chikhachev Aleksei Yu.
Published: April 2023

This article examines the current military-political strategy of France in the Baltic region. This area has not traditionally been among the main priorities of French diplomacy. However, under President Emmanuel Macron, France pays closer attention to the Baltic Sea due to the growing tension between Russia and the West. According to France’s key strategic documents, the government assesses the present-day situation mainly in a negative way, considering Russian actions as the main reason for the militarization of the region and expressing its readiness to show solidarity with NATO allies. On this basis, Paris is gradually increasing its military presence in the Baltic region, which now exceeds its contingents in the Middle East and the Sahel. For example, French forces still participate in the NATO air policing programme as well as in naval exercises, keeping the troops in Estonia within the Lynx mission. France’s further activity in the region includes enhanced cooperation with Sweden and Finland after they accede to NATO, an already planned increase in military contingent in the Baltic States in 2023, and the development of the European Political Community project. The author concludes that even if France’s presence in the Baltic does not yet pose a critical threat to Russian security, Paris’s policy is becoming more pro-Atlantic to the detriment of previous statements about ‘European sovereignty’ and dialogue with Russia.

This paper summarizes the results of the seminar “Geopolitical Security of Russia: Remarks on the Problem Statement”, held on August 26, 2022, at the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Kaliningrad. During the seminar, the Institute of Geopolitical and Regional Studies of the university announced an initiative to devise a system of monitoring the geopolitical (regional) security of Russia. The debate centred around the development of a conceptual framework and a geopolitical security model as a prerequisite for the system. The discussion also covered other relevant issues, including the definition of geopolitical security and geopolitical space as well as the types of geopolitical threats and vulnerabilities. Another topic on the agenda was the analysis of theoretical approaches applicable to monitoring the geopolitical security in Russia. A constructivist approach based on discursive practices was viewed as the most promising for tracking changes in geopolitical threats. In this work, the emphasis should be placed on regional issues, i. e. the situation in particular regions. Other promising avenues for further research are the operationalization of relevant concepts and the development of a set of indicators of geopolitical threats and vulnerabilities, which Russia has already faced and may face in the future.
