Emamectin benzoate: Potential larvicide and antifeedant agent against cotton Boll worm Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Authors: Dagar Vinay Singh , Kumar Sarita
Published: May 2018

Helicoverpa armigera, a global polyphagous pest, attacks a wide variety of crops causing huge agricultural loss. Overuse of conventional insecticides for Helicoverpa control has made Helicoverpa resistant to insecticides leading to more severe attacks on crops diverting interest of researchers to explore alternate control agents. Present study investigates the cidal and antifeedant potential of Emamectin benzoate; a semi-synthetic avermectin derived from the soil actinomycetes, Streptomyces avermitilis; against early IV instars of H. armigera. Larvae were fed on the castor leaf discs (3.5 cm diameter) dipped in different concentrations of Emamectin benzoate; ranging from 0.05 µg/mL-1.5 µg/mL. The leaf disc areas were measured pre-and post-larval feeding to estimate the antifeedant potential of compound. The effect of feeding was also assessed on the survival of larvae by scoring the larval mortality till 96 h. Our investigations showed significant larvicidal potential of Emamectin benzoate against H. armigera revealing respective LC50 values of 0.26 µg/mL, 0.095 µg/mL, 0.043 µg/mL and 0.027 µg/mL after 24, 48, 72 and 96 h feeding. Furthermore, a remarkable decrease of 93.59% was observed in larval feeding potential indicating significant antifeedant efficacy of Emamectin benzoate. A strong correlation between antifeedant index and the Emamectin benzoate concentration resulted in 1.48-fold index reduction with a decrease in concentration. Our results demonstrated efficacy of Emamectin benzoate as an effectual larvicidal and antifeedant agent against H. armigera. Employing selective insecticide can tackle issues of pest resistance and pest resurgence after ascertaining in the fields as Helicoverpa control agent and negating impact on non-target organisms.
Investigation of water quality changes in drinking water supplied from Sitlee water treatment plant on River Tawi to Old Jammu City, Jammu, J&K, India
Authors: Kundan Poonam , Slathia Deepika
Published: May 2018

In the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the water quality changes in River Tawi water treated at Sitlee water treatment plant, and supplied for drinking to Old Jammu City, Jammu, J&K, India. Water samples from the treated water unit of Sitlee water treatment plant and around ten houses from the distribution point (Old Jammu City) were analyzed monthly for various physicochemical parameters for a period of one year (February 2014 to January 2015). The study indicated deterioration of drinking water quality during its passage through the distribution network which has been attributed to the leakages and defects in the old pipe system supplying water to the Jammu city. Comparison of analyzed water quality parameters with the drinking water standards prescribed by World Health Organization (WHO) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) indicated that parameters like DO (7.49-8.24mg/l), calcium(49.93-67.08mg/l), magnesium(16.14-25.21mg/l) and potassium(6.99-7.93mg/l) were almost nearing the desirable limits but were within the permissible limits and parameters like turbidity(3.5-8.17 NTU) and total hardness(78.87-120.50mg/l) were above the desirable limits in the water samples collected from the distribution point. The collected primary data for the thirteen water quality parameters has been used to calculate the Arithmetic Water Quality Index(WQI) which has shown monsoon increase with higher values at distribution point(65.65). One time microbial analysis (MPN/100ml) for total and faecal coliform has indicated presence of faecal coliform (<1/100ml) in water samples from eight households at distribution point which indicates contamination of water with human faecal matter during its passage through the distribution network. According to microbial standards laid down by Central Pollution Control Board (2008), water contaminated with faecal coliform is unfit for drinking without conventional treatment.
The Function of Judicial Dissent in Indonesia’s Constitutional Court
Authors: Butt Simon
Published: May 2018

Indonesian judges are permitted to issue dissenting opinions. Constitutional Court judges regularly hand them down. However, neither judges nor academics have outlined the purposes of dissenting opinions in Indonesia. This article aims to promote discussion about what these purposes are, or should be, in Indonesia, with a view to increasing the utility of dissents. It begins by considering the international scholarly literature details some purposes recognised in other countries, such as increased transparency and accountability, but also some disadvantages, such as the perceived weakness of a divided court. It then considers how the Constitutional employs dissents, before exploring some of the uncertainties and unanswered questions about dissents and their use in Indonesia.
Mainstreaming Human Rights in the Asian Judiciary
Authors: Hanara Desi
Published: May 2018

Human rights protection in Asia is hindered by the absence of binding human rights instruments and enforcement mechanisms, including the lack of human rights mainstreaming into the works of relevant stakeholders, notably the judiciary. Judiciary plays key roles in the realization and protection of human rights. As the guardian of the Constitution, the Indonesian Constitutional Court (‘the Court’) is mandated to protect the human rights of the citizens. This paper argues that the Court, which previously served as the President of the Association of Asian Constitutional Courts and Equivalent Institutions (AACC), has the potential to play a leading role in mainstreaming human rights in the region. Using normative and comparative legal research methodologies, the paper identified the Court’s mandates on human rights at the national, regional and international levels; assessed the need for human rights mainstreaming in the Asian judiciary; and examined the significant potential of the AACC to house the mainstreaming project. Finally, it proposes several recommendations for the Court’s consideration, namely to encourage judicial independence, recommend human rights incorporation into judicial discussions and decisions, suggest the establishment of a platform to enhance human rights expertise of the judiciary, as well as facilitate a platform for the development of binding human rights instruments and the establishment of an Asian Human Rights Court.
Revisiting Liberal Democracy and Asian Values in Contemporary Indonesia
Authors: Ulum Muhammad Bahrul , Hamida Nilna Aliyan
Published: May 2018

This paper aims to examine the complex and often contentious relationship between constitutionalism and integralism in the Indonesian government and provides a criticism of democratization within the contemporary state. Integralist state portrays the relationship between the state and the people as analogous to a family, with the state as a father and the people as children (the Family Principle). Those that adhere to this view, with regard to contemporary Asian politics, claim that Asian values are inherently integralist, that Asia’s particular history and values different considerably from the West’s, and that Pancasila, Indonesia’s state philosophy, is utilized to establish romanticized relations between the ruler and the ruled. The data presented in this paper was collected from relevant articles on Indonesian democracy and Asian values. It also demonstrates how Pancasila, as Indonesia’s core guiding philosophy, has influenced debates over how the constitutional should be applied and interpreted. As the research shows, during the regimes of Sukarno and Suharto, Pancasila was manipulated in order to promote the goals of the state, and that a reliance on integralism during Indonesia’s founding years severely diminished human rights and Indonesia’s capacity for an efficient democracy. By continually putting the priorities of the state above those of the people, the Indonesian government has contradicted its adoption of human rights and liberal democracy is often challenged by the spirit of integralism.

Using the First Language (L1) as a Resource in EFL Classrooms: Nepalese University Teachers’ and Students’ Perspectives
Authors: Sah Pramod Kumar
Published: May 2018

While challenging the widely held belief that students in English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom prefer their teachers not use the first language (L1), the study examined attitudes of university teachers and students towards using L1 and reasons for giving up on English and reverting to Nepali in English-medium lessons. Drawing on a mixed-method study that used survey questionnaire (N= 50) and interviews (N=15), the researcher identified a number of classroom speech acts that are performed by teachers’ and students’ in their L1. The findings revealed that both teachers and students had a positive attitude towards using L1; however, they held the belief that the overuse of L1 may impede language learning. Although the teachers seemed to discourage the use of Nepali (L1) in lessons aimed at developing learners’ communicative competence, they used Nepali to help learners comprehend complex concepts of grammar and lexis. Although the excessive use of Nepali was seemingly associated with teachers’ lack of communicative competence and creativity in delivering EFL lessons, students preferred their teachers to use the L1.Journal of NELTA ,  Vol. 22, No. 1-2, 2017 December
Teaching ESP at the Tertiary Level in Bangladesh: A General Perspective
Authors: Siddique Sharmin
Published: May 2018

English is a foreign language in Bangladesh, and the tertiary students of private universities of different departments come with different vocational needs. General English courses cannot cater to the specific needs of the students of different departments. Moreover, at a tertiary level, English language courses should be designed not only to help students receive good grades, but also cater to their future workplace needs. In these cases, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is more applicable than General English language courses. On the other hand, teaching ESP courses is more challenging and difficult than teaching General English courses. The article aims to characterize ESP, analysing its need in Bangladesh and identifying teachers’ roles in its teaching. A survey was conducted for data collection in which two different sets of questionnaires were used for teachers and students. Twenty English language teachers and 64 undergrad students from the Department of Civil Engineering from different universities participated in the survey. Results of the survey have been presented with some recommendations for its pedagogic management.Journal of NELTA ,  Vol. 22, No. 1-2, 2017 December, Page: 76-88

ABSTRACT

 

Various learning models came to Indonesia with various characteristics that may not necessarily match with the conditions of Indonesia. That incompatibility can be observed from many factors, such as student background, culture, geographical conditions, teachers, curriculum, and so on, when they are compared to their origin country, Netherlands for the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) and America for the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL). Indonesia with all its cultural diversity is the most valuable potential to be explored as an unique mathematical learning material. This article provides the first description in creating an Indonesian cultural-based mathematics learning model named Matematika Nusantara. This model has been tested and implemented in mathematics teacher training in Kabupaten Serang, Banten. The positive and optimistic response from the participants shows that Matematika Nusantara model can be steady implemented in Indonesia with high flexibility for any curtural characteristics in each region.

The data analyzed is 54 documents of Arabic Writing from the Participants of MMQ. The results indicate that all documents are indexed nothing is free from phonological, morphological, syntactic, and writing errors, consisting of a form of error of ziyadah (addition), naqis (subtraction), badal (replacement), hadzf (disappearance) and derivative error, although it is distributed differently based on every level of Arabic linguistics. The participants of MMQ competence contributed to the error. At the phonological level, the frequency of badal occurrence is very high, and at the morphological level the frequency of occurrence of derivative error is very high as well, while at the syntactic level, the frequency of occurrence of derivative error is high, as for at the all writings are categorized as derivative error type. The errors has caused the linguistic consequences to damage the structure of the alphabet, structure of the word, and structure of the sentence which leads to the destruction of the structure of the meaning. The errors are consequential on local error although it does not lead to misinterpretation and global error which will make the readers misinterpreted. In the process of Arabic writing, the verses from Holy Qur’an dan Hadith must be believed as a process of theophonological, theomorphological, theosyntactic and theosemantic of Arabic. This is intended as an effort by participants of MMQ to maintain the purity of Holy Qur’an.

Individuation and Religious Mythology in the Novels of W.O. Mitchell
Authors: McAdam Ian
Published: May 2018

This article attempts to rectify the current critical neglect of W.O. Mitchell by acknowledging the complexity of his work – in particular, through a focus on repressed sexuality and homoeroticism. Mitchell's writing is briefly related to the tradition of modern realism with respect to the complex balance it achieves between objective and subjective perspectives, which allows archetypal themes to emerge in the context of more specific social analysis that is especially evident in three novels: Who Has Seen the Wind, How I Spent My Summer Holidays, and Roses Are Difficult Here. The article offers the binary of Apollonian and Dionysian as a helpful interpretive and explanatory tool in a reading of the ideological tension between Christian and pagan religious mythologies through which Mitchell configures his exploration of the individuation process. In light of their own humane depictions, the novels ultimately challenge a conservatively “masculine” emphasis on a narrowly defined social role that relegates unconventional subjectivity to the arena of narcissistic failure.

Increasing globalisation and integration of economies entailed the rise of global problems as well. Today, the greater part of the planet is starving. The problems are aggravated by the advancement of scientific and technological progress which leaves the colossal part of human workforce beyond production process. It is impossible to overcome poverty without economic growth. However, economic growth does not affect poverty similarly in all countries. 1 % growth of GDP reduces income poverty by 1 % minimum and 4 % maximum depending on the number of jobs created. It is possible to have economic growth in a country without creating a substantial number of jobs. Among many instruments of improving employment indicators and overcoming poverty we consider education to be the most crucial.

The most important element constituting the basis for the functioning of the modern economy of Russia and ensuring the ongoing development of market relations is the competition, understood in a broad sense as a process of rivalry between economic agents, leading to a change in product handling conditions on the relevant market. 2015 was held in Russia under the influence of a number of factors, which contain signs of an economic crisis, which is a condition that affects the development of key segments of the domestic economy and determines Russian policy. Mutual sanctions from the European Union and Russia have caused some changes not only in the economy of the country as a whole, but also in the economy of its individual regions. The Russian economy was faced with the need for a very short time to make a leap in increasing the competitiveness of its products, as well as import substitution, which would normally take many years. In such conditions, the key role of the state is to support not only large branches of the economy and the defense sector, but also to develop a strategy for developing competitive relations in the sphere of small and medium-sized businesses. The article examines the main problems of ensuring Russia's competitiveness, the reasons for the low efficiency of the national innovation system.

The article is intended to update the problems of managing the safe operation of objects of gas transportation as sources of technogenic and ecological danger, which is identified as one of the priority directions of development of NJSC «Naftogaz of Ukraine». The analysis of applied prerequisites for the use of economic expertise as a controlling instrument at the enterprises of the oil and gas industry of Ukraine has been carried out. The basic elements of the economic expertise concerning the projects of reconstruction, modernization and re-equipment of objects of the gas transportation system are determined. It is proved that the issue of determining and assessing the economic feasibility of incurred expenses for such measures is the subject of economic examination. The expediency of conducting it besides the obligatory departmental expertise was considered for ensuring completeness and objectivity in the part of both designing and direct reconstruction.
EVALUATION OF THE RESISTANCE OF THE MITE Varroa destructor TO THE AMITRAZ IN COLONIES OF HONEY BEES (Apis mellifera) IN ALGERIA
Authors: ADJLANE Noureddine
Published: May 2018

Varroa mite has become a major concern of beekeepers in

Algeria since the discovery of the first cases of infestation in the year 1982.

Amitraz is the predominant

compound used in Algeria to control V. destructor, its constant application has caused the appearance of

resistant mite populations to this product in several parts of the world. This study was conducted to detect the possible

existence of populations of resistant mites to Amitraz in Algeria. To

determine the mites mortality percentage to the Amitraz, they were exposed to a trips of 2.5 x 1.0 cm. Varroa mortality in apiaries treated with Amitraz was 39.23%, lower than the 87.40%

mortality obtained in apiaries that only received an alternative treatment. A significant difference (P>0.05) was found between two mortality of

Varroa. Our

results indicate a possible occurrence of Varroa resistance to Amitraz.

The introduction of integrated programs for resistance management is required.
BAL ARISI (Apis mellifera anatoliaca) KOLONİLERİNDE PUDRA ŞEKERİ YÖNTEMİ İLE VARROA (Varroa destructor) BULAŞIKLIK SEVİYESİNİN BELİRLENMESİ VE KOLONİ SEÇİMİ

Bu çalışma Balıkesir Marmara adasında Anadolu
bal arısında varroa bulaşıklık seviyesinin belirlenmesinde pudra şekeri yöntemi
kullanılarak belirlenmesi amacı ile yapılmıştır. Çalışma 2014-2016 yıllarında
Anadolu arı kolonileri ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmada her kolonideki toplam
yavrulu, arılı çerçeve sayısı sayılıp, varroa sayısı ise pudra şekeri yöntemi
ile tespit edilmiştir. Yaz 2014 yaz sezonunda ilaçlanan ve ilaçlanıp ana
arıları değiştirilmiş koloniler arasında toplam arılı çerçeve açısından fark
anlamlı, yavrulu çerçeve sayısı ve varroa açısından anlamlı bir fark
belirlenememiştir. Yaz 2015 sezonunda ilaçlanmayan, ilaçlanan ve ana arısı
değiştirilen-ilaçlı 3 grup arasında arılı çerçeve, yavrulu çerçeve ve varroa
açısından karşılaştırıldığında bu 3 grup arasında arılı çerçeve ve yavrulu
çerçeve açısından istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir fark tespit edilememiştir.
Varroa açısından bu karşılaştırma yapıldığında ise istatistiki olarak anlamlı
bir fark belirlenmiştir. Ana arısı değiştirilen koloniler arılı ve yavrulu
çerçeve sayısı bakımından daha yüksek, varroa sayısı ise daha düşük
bulunmuştur. 2016 yılında ise ana arıların yaz sezonu yerine ilkbaharda
değiştirilmesi durumunda ise bu kolonilerde varroa sayısı % 38 gibi önemli
oranda düşmektedir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre yavrulu ve toplam arılı çerçeve
sayıları yüksek olan kolonilerde genel olarak varroa seviyelerinin yüksek
olduğu belirlenmiştir. Buna rağmen bazı kolonilerde arılı ve yavrulu çerçeve
sayıları yüksek olmasına rağmen hala varroa seviyeleri düşük olan koloniler
tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçların ise ıslah çalışmalarında önemli bir kolaylık
sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
NEONİKOTİNOİD PESTİSİTLER VE ARI SAĞLIĞINA ETKİLERİ

Published: May 2018

Neonikotinoidler,

etkinlikleri ve güvenirlilikleri bakımından son yıllarda oldukça adından

bahsedilen bir pestisit grubudur. Bu grupta başlıca imidakloprid (en yaygın),

asetamiprid, klotiyanid, nitenpiram, nitiazin, tiyakloprid, ve tiametoksam yer

almaktadır. Bu bileşikler özellikle tohum ıslahında ve tarımsal üretimde

zararlı haşerelere karşı mücadele etmek amacıyla kullanılmaktadırlar. Ancak son

yıllarda, neonikotinoid pestisitlerin arı kolonisi sağlığı üzerindeki zararlı

etkileri artan tartışma ve sorunlara neden olmuştur. Yapılan farklı çalışmalar,

tarımsal zararlı mücadelesinde kullanılan neonikotinoid pestisitlerin masum olmadıklarını,

tarımsal zararlılara karşı faydalı olurken, bal arıları açısından zararlı

etkileri olduklarını ortaya koymuştur. EMA tarafından yayınlanan bir raporda,

neonikotinoid pestisitlerin arı kolonileri, böcek ve kuş popülasyonlarında

azalma gibi farklı ekolojik sorunlara yol açtığını, bu nedenle Avrupa Birliği

ülkelerinde kısıtlama ve yasaklamaların getirildiği bildirilmiştir. Sonuç

olarak, bal arılarında görülen koloni kayıplarının toksikolojik açıdan

yapılacak laboratuvar araştırmalarında neonikotinoid pestisit analizleri yanında,

paraziter, viral ve bakteriyel etkenleri içeren kapsamlı bir araştırma

yapılmalı ve araştırma sonucuna göre karar verilmesi daha doğru olacaktır. 
BAL ARISI (Apis mellifera L.) SPERMASININ TAZE VE DONDURULARAK MUHAFAZA EDİLMESİ
Authors: GÜL Aziz
Published: May 2018

Arıcılık dünya üzerinde çok eski dönemlerden beri yapılmakta olup çeşitli tarım kolları ile birlikte

uyumlu bir şekilde toprağa bağlı kalınmaksızın yapılabilen bir yetiştiricilik koludur. Bilim ve

teknolojinin gelişmesi ile yakın geçmişten günümüze balarılarının yaşamları aydınlatılmıştır.

Balarılarında üremenin izahı 1845 yılında yapılmış olup, 1926 yılında balarılarında suni tohumlamanın

keşfi ile birlikte arıcılık sektörü hızlı bir şekilde ilerlemiştir. Suni tohumlama ile birlikte balarısı

spermasının depolanılabilirliği üzerinde çalışmalar da 1960’lı yıllarda başlamıştır. Günümüzde,

balarısı sperması taze olarak 16°C’de 2 hafta gibi bir süre canlı olarak muhafaza edilebilmektedir.

Dondurma işleminde ise tam bir başarı elde edilmiş değildir. Günümüzde depolanmış sperma ile

döllenen anaarılarda %50’nin üzerinde işçi arı oranı elde edilmesine rağmen, spermanın saklanması

konusunda metotların geliştirilmesine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. 
SiO2-Supported Co–Rh Bimetallic Catalysts for Dicyclopentadiene Hydroformylation: Relationships Between Catalytic Performance and Structure of the Catalysts
Authors: Zhang Libo , Li Chengyang , Ma Yubo , Wang Tianfu
Published: May 2018

In this work, SiO2-supported Co–Rh bimetallic catalysts were prepared by adopting a method of impregnation and were used to catalyse the hydroformylation of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) to diformyltricyclodecanes. Firstly, the hydroformylation of DCPD was carried out and three reaction stages were observed. In the first stage, a sharp decrease of reaction pressure was observed within 4 minutes. In the next stage, almost no reaction pressure decrease was detected over a relatively longer reaction time (70 minutes). In the final stage, the reaction pressure decreased at a relatively gentle rate, with barely any decrease of reaction pressure being observed at 460 minutes. Secondly, the hydroformylation of monoformyltricyclodecenes (MFTD) with various reaction times was carried out; the catalyst that was used at various reaction times was also recovered. Finally, the catalyst that had been used at various reaction times was characterised and analysed and the relationship between the catalytic performance and the structure of the catalysts was confirmed. In addition, combined with triphenylphosphine, the influence of pressure on the activity of Co–Rh bimetallic catalysts was investigated for the hydroformylation of MFTD.
Investigation of Reaction Mechanisms and Kinetics of the Radical Scavenging Ability of 5-Tert-Butylbenzene-1,2,3-Triol and 3,5-di-Tert-Butylbenzene-1,2-Diol Compounds Towards OOH Radical
Authors: Saïd Anes El-Hadj , Mekelleche Sidi Mohamed
Published: May 2018

The antioxidant properties of the synthesised 5- tert-butylbenzene-1,2,3-triol (system A) and the designed 3,5-di -tert-butylbenzene-1,2-diol (system B) have been explored through density functional theory at the M05-2X/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory. The quantum mechanics-based test for overall free radical scavenging activity (QM- ORSA) protocol has been employed to account for their radical-scavenging capacity against the hydroperoxyl radical (HOO•) in the gas phase and in toluene solvent as a mimic lipid medium. The different mechanisms of the chemical reactions of the studied systems with HOO• have been considered, namely (i) the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), (ii) the single electron transfer followed by proton transfer and (iii) the radical adduct formation. Our calculations provide evidence that HAT is the most favoured reaction mechanism in both the gas phase and in lipid media and the calculated thermodynamic and kinetic parameters indicate that the designed compound is more efficient than the synthesised system A and the reference system (α-tocopherol).
Synthesis and Characterisation of New Sulfonamide Chalcones Containing an azo Group
Authors: Arslan Tayfun
Published: May 2018

The synthesis and characterisation of a new type of chalcone bearing a –N=N– bond is reported using an environmentally benign approach. The synthesis consists of two steps. ( E)-4-((5-acetyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)diazenyl)benzenesulfonamide was synthesised by an easy structural modification of sulfanilamide. The key step then involved the solvent-free Claisen–Schmidt condensation of benzaldehydes to form the chalcones. The structures of all compounds were confirmed by FTIR, NMR and MS spectroscopy.
