Aim. Of the research is to create a new highly productive initial material of buckwheat with increased resistance to adverse environmental factors. Actuality. According to its biological nature, buckwheat combines a high productivity potential with a relatively low and, it would seem, inconsistent yield. Historically, buckwheat in Ukraine has become almost a national cereal crop, which cereal remains among the important products for the food security of the country. And now, when the war is going on in the country, the cultivation of buckwheat is gaining relevance [6]. An increase in the volume of buckwheat grain production, mainly due to the increase and stabilization of its yield level, is possible due to the use of new breeding methods, and the realization of the genetic potential of the variety - effective cultivation technologies. Methods. Field, laboratory, measuring and weighing. Processing of the results of experimental studies was carried out using the Microsoft Excel 2010 program. Results. According to the individual structural analysis of the plants (breeding sample), the height of the plants, the number of: branches, nodes, inflorescences, grains were determined; mass of grain, plants, straw, 1000 grains. The average level of variation of such indicators as plant height, the number of nodes, and the weight of 1000 grains was observed according to the indicators of direct characteristics of the most productive breeding samples selected according to index indicators. A significant variation was found in the rest of the indicators of the signs. The results of the correlation analysis of the obtained data according to the evaluated indicators confirm a reliable close relationship at the 5% level of significance between the weight of the plant and the number of inflorescences on the plant (r = 0.705), between the number of grains on the plant and the weight of the grain (r = 0.959) and plant mass (r = 0.767), also between grain mass and plant mass (r = 0.798). Conclusions. A reliable close relationship between plant weight and number of inflorescences, number of grains and weight of grain, as well as weight of grain and number of grains was established. The researches conducted by us claim that the individual selection of elite buckwheat plants and their evaluation according to the structural elements of seed productivity, in particular according to the indices: grain size III, individual seed productivity and attraction, make it possible to create promising, high-yielding varieties of edible buckwheat with increased adaptation potential.

Authors:   Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak,  Haryana, India, Kumar Shubham
Published: September 2022

In this study an effective method has been developed to automate a process implemented in manufacturing industry "CNC system", it details the research and development of a mechatronic system to overcome one of the most difficult tasks in today's manufacturing industry which is to reduce number of rejected parts of NG parts. This problem mainly occurs when the metal workpiece is disturbed or not properly attached to the fixture and due to that small change in location, it gets improperly machined, which leads to part getting rejected. A gap inspection sensor is included in the design to confirm that the workpiece is properly seated on the fixture and all the components needed for module assembly are designed and tested on a VMC machine. As the gap check sensor uses the principle of back pressure sensing to monitor the gap or distance, the sensor is supplied with pneumatic pressure through a regulator to ensure stabilized input, and outlet of sensor is connected to the orifices on the fixture plate under clamping points, so when the job is placed properly there is no air leakage and the change in pressure will respond to sensor. The developed module gets linked to PLC and needed changes were also made in ladder logic program to incorporate the new module in machine running cycle. This developed architecture is flexible and can be used on many other machines and applications. Doing so automates the machine and prevents potential tool damage and material wastage.

Authors: Guo Guihang , Liao Ning , Guo Chuyao
Published: September 2022

With the development of scientific and technological revolution, the service trade has played an increasingly important role in global trade. After the economic crisis in 2008, the trend of trade protectionism has arisen and the phenomenon of anti-globalization has appeared. As the largest emerging economy in the world, China should actively participate in global trade and promote the development of its service trade. Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights can promote transnational trade. This paper aims to verify the influence and mechanism of intellectual property rights protection on China's export of service trade. The ordinary least square regression model was adopted to collect data related to the development of China's service trade and intellectual property protection in the period between 2007 to 2019 from databases including the National Bureau of Statistics of China. Based on the empirical analysis, we reached the following two conclusions: (1) There is no significant relationship between overall service trade and intellectual property protection. (2) Intellectual property protection plays a positive role in promoting manufacturing service industry, construction service industry and the charge of using intellectual property.

Published: September 2022

Pakistan is facing two front challenges from climate change and development. It has the least share in production of Green House Gases (GHGs) as well as in Carbon Offset and on the other hand, it is the country which is worst affected by climate change among South Asian countries. Similarly, the cost of sustainable development hinders the growth of Gross Domestic Products (GDP). The electronic and printed media in Pakistan is more focused on the causes and impacts of climate change as well as on the progress of sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The present study explores the diverse dimensions of the role of media in the understanding of the nexus of climate change and development to maximize the benefits for the country development particularly of GDP sector. The existing potential of Pakistani media is studied to interlink the GHGs emission and GDP, with the impacts of climate change and Carbon Offset take down by the country. In the same fashion, the relation between sustainable development and growth of GDP with inflation rate portrayed the actual struggle of the country for the SDGs progress. The paradigm shift in understanding and projecting of the nexus of climate change and development from Pakistani media will support the growth of GDP in the country.

Published: September 2022

Extension functions based on the model of the trigonometric functional link networks (TFLN) and the adaptive exponential functional link networks (AEFLN) have been widely applied in nonlinear identification systems. However, these models are lack of cross-terms (multiple input sample and its past samples). This degrades their performance, especially in nonlinear systems containing strong nonlinear distortion. In this paper, we propose a generalized AEFLN model (GAEFLN) for nonlinear system identification. Since the GAEFLN contains sine, exponential, and cross-terms expansion function, its convergence characteristics will be significantly improved. Simulation results based on nonlinear system identification show that the performance of the proposed GAEFLN is superior to those of the TFLN and AEFLN.

Long-tailed macaques are omnivores feeding on plants and animal matter. They are known to feed on meat occasionally, and it represents a very small portion of their diet. This paper reports a predation event by long-tailed macaques on a parachute gecko in Mt. Apo Natural Park, Philippines. Two macaques were involved in the predation: a juvenile macaque responsible for catching the gecko and a subadult female macaque that consumed the prey. There is no published comprehensive list of dietary composition of the species in the Philippines, so this report adds to the existing literature on meat-eating behaviors of long-tailed macaques. The most probable explanation for the observed predation in the area is that meat provides micronutrients for the macaques, although further studies are necessary to confirm this. In this paper, we provide evidence of their unrecorded animal-based food resource that is crucial to understanding their feeding behaviors that can be used for their successful management.

Published: September 2022

Baybayin is a Tagalog-language writing system primarily used in the northern Philippines during the pre-Hispanic period. In 2018, the House of Representatives approved House Bill 1022 or the “National Writing System Act,” which declares the Baybayin script as the Philippines’ national writing system. Thus, documents, signages, books, etc. may soon have Baybayin texts. However, the Latin alphabet is still the primary script used in the country. Hence, it is possible that Latin and Baybayin scripts may be found on the same text. In this paper, we present an optical character recognition (OCR) system that identifies Baybayin scripts from Latin in a text image. The preprocessing method applies the conversion of the input image to binary data and calculating the respective bounding box of each word found from the text, where we utilize a modified 𝒌 − means algorithm and MATLAB ocr function, respectively. The classification then involves isolating each word and further segmenting each character’s components. With the aid of a support vector machine (SVM) character classifier, we determine the word’s script by the highest number of characters classified into either Baybayin or Latin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first system that discriminates, at the block level, the Baybayin script from Latin. The proposed algorithm yields a 93.64% recognition accuracy tested in a novel dataset. The accompanying code of the proposed algorithm and the dataset are made publicly available to make the results of the study reproducible.

Tuberculosis (TB) and cancer are among the maladies with high morbidity and mortality rates to date. This prompted the utilization of natural products in the discovery and development of new anti-TB and anticancer derivatives. In this study, we explored the antitubercular and antiproliferative activities of extracts and tetrahydrobisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids tetrandrine (1) and limacusine (2) from the Philippine medicinal plant Phaeanthus ophthalmicus. Antitubercular evaluation using colorimetric MABA (microplate Alamar blue assay) assays revealed antitubercular activities of the extracts and fractions [minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 15.6 to < 64 μg/mL]. Among the two isolated alkaloids, limacusine (2) exhibited inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MIC = 42.6 μg/ml). In addition, CellTiter-Blue cell viability assay showed antiproliferative activity for limacusine (2) against K-562. Both tetrahydrobisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids exhibited cytotoxicity on HeLa cells. To probe the binding mechanisms of 1 and 2 against putative protein targets, molecular docking simulations were carried out. Limacusine (2) showed high binding propensities to mycobacterial enzymes ATP-dependent murE ligase and enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase, thus illustrating possibilities of cell wall and mycolic biosynthesis inhibitory mechanisms, respectively. High binding affinity was also observed in 2 vs. FLT3, a protein target implicated in myeloid leukemia cell proliferation. Additionally, the limacusine-InhA and limacusine-FLT3 complexes were found to be dynamically stable as per molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results of in vitro experiments and molecular docking studies suggest tetrahydrobisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids from P. ophthalmicus, especially limacusine (2), as promising natural products against TB and myeloid leukemia.

Nursing students trained to be health advocates have engaged in cigarette and electronic cigarette (EC) use. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of cigarette and EC use among nursing students and examine how EC vaping and cigarette smoking are associated with various risk factors. This cross-sectional survey of smoking and vaping was administered to 249 nursing students in a private university in Manila, Philippines. An online-based self- assessment questionnaire (SAQ) that includes socio-demographic information, cigarette and EC usage, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and other risk factors was administered using on-campus and online recruitment strategies. Generalized linear models were fitted to estimate the effect of stress and other risk factors on smoking and vaping. Approximately one out of eight were exclusive vapers, one out of 25 were exclusive smokers, and one out of five were both smokers and vapers. The prevalence of smoking/vaping was 47% higher [adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR): 1.47, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.04–2.07, p-value = 0.028] among students with high-stress levels than students with low to moderate stress levels. In addition, students who were sophomores (aPR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.12–2.53, p-value = 0.012), juniors (aPR: 3.22, 95% CI: 1.91–5.42, p-value < 0.001), and seniors (aPR: 1.53, 95% CI: 0.76–3.08, p-value = 0.230) had a higher prevalence of smoking/vaping compared to freshmen students. Having a positive attitude towards vaping health impacts and a smoker/vaper peer was also associated with a higher prevalence of smoking/vaping. Therefore, effective health communication strategies and policies in universities and the community are recommended to reinforce existing smoking and vaping control efforts.

The Filipino youth, 15–24 yr old, are at a critical period characterized by a shift from adolescence to adulthood. While the youth make up about one-fifth of the population, they are often not a priority in program development such as in food, health, and nutrition. This study looked into the socio-demographic profile and nutritional status of youth and food security status of their households in six areas in the Philippines. It also determined the factors affecting the nutritional status of youth such as sex, educational status, occupation, wealth, and household food security status. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression were employed in the analysis using STATA Version 16. Results showed that about 15% of youth in the study had low body mass index (BMI), while 10% had high BMI. The majority (70%) belonged to food-insecure households. Among working youth, the most common types of employment were service work, farming, forestry and fishery work, and laborer and unskilled work. Being poor and belonging to a food-insecure household increase the likelihood of being undernourished by 0.23 and 0.17 times, respectively. Belonging to rich households and food secure status significantly increases the likelihood of being overnourished by 0.58 and 0.34 times. Having no grade completed (2.66) or attained elementary level (1.06), being a working student (0.44), belonging to a poor household (0.95), and having food-insecure status (0.07) significantly increases the likelihood of becoming stunted. Improvement of nutritional status through various youth programs and food systems engagement during adolescence and early adulthood can be considered the second window of opportunity for intervention to address the inter-generational cycle of poverty, food insecurity, and malnutrition.
Influence of Leaf Number, Rooting Trait, and Cutting Size in Vegetative Propagation of Aquilaria cumingiana [Decne] Ridl.
Authors: Piñon Albert , Tolentino Enrique , Reyes Tomas
Published: September 2022

A low-cost technique of propagation study to determine the influence of leaf number and relationship among rooting trait and cutting size was carried out on cuttings from seedlings of Aquilaria cumingiana. The highest percentage of rooting was detected in cuttings with two leaves (83.62%) and lowest in cuttings with the greatest (3) number of leaves (50%). Comparison of the means revealed a significant increase in percent rooting, number of roots, and length of the longest root on cuttings with two leaves. Correlation analysis among root traits revealed significant (P < 0.0001) low to high positive relationships (r2 = 0.26–0.91). The strongest association was recorded between the average root length and the length of the longest root (r2 = 0.91, P < 0.0001). All relationships between the rooting trait and the cutting size displayed weak and non-significant (r2 = 0.04–0.17, P > 0.05) – suggesting that aside from amount, variation in distribution and transport of naturally occurring endogenous auxin might probably affect the rooting. This study generated an economical and practical protocol to vegetatively mass- produce this premium species. Further studies are recommended, particularly with regards to auxin quantification to identify and quantify the specific naturally occurring endogenous auxin that is affecting the rooting of A. cumingiana.
