Examination of Secondary Students' Visual Images about Climate Change
Authors: Gezer Melehat
Published: December 2022

In this study, it was aimed to examine the perceptions of secondary school students about climate change. The study was planned according to the phenomenological design. The research was carried out with the participation of 131 students selected according to the criterion sampling. Students were asked to draw pictures about climate change and the collected pictures were subjected to content analysis. Since 12 of the pictures could not be evaluated under any theme, they were excluded from the data set and coding were done on 119 drawings. As a result of the data analysis, three themes were determined as temperature increase and its effects, change in thermal and precipitation regime, and extreme weather events. Under these three themes, subcategories were created based on the drawings that were similar to each other. As a result of the research, it has been determined that secondary school students have a high awareness of climate-related events and the directly observable effects of climate change in the city they live in.

Published: December 2022

The aim of this study is to investigate how the use of augmented reality (AR) applications in educational environments affects students’ achievement levels. The study was carried out through two dimensions; a quantitative and a qualitative aspect. The study was conducted with 7th-grade students in a public secondary school in Turkey as part of a science course. For this purpose, AR applications and activities were implemented that were suitable for the topic of Astronomy. The quasi-experimental model and one of the quantitative research methods were used for the study. As data collection instruments an achievement test and an interview form were made use of. AR activities were used for teaching in the experimental group, while the traditional method for the control group. The quantitative results of the study showed that there was a significant difference in the achievement level of learners in favor of the experimental group. The interviews with the students revealed that the AR applications used in the course were interesting, that they increased interest, desire, and motivation in class, and that they facilitated learning. However, students indicated that the cost of the AR materials was high, that they had difficulty in obtaining the materials, and that they sometimes had technical problems. Another limitation was expressed as that the excess the number of students makes it more difficult to take the advantage of AR activities. Students suggested that lowering the cost of AR materials and using them in other lessons can be more effective in learning environment.

Collective-Distributive Interpretations in Bilingual Spanish-English-Speaking Children
Authors: Lingwall Odio Anne , Grinstead John
Published: December 2022

Developmental semantic research in child Italian, Spanish, and English has shown that children’s knowledge of distributive interpretations does not appear adult-like until 10 or 11 years of age. Further, children’s knowledge of distributive interpretations predicts their knowledge of collective interpretations. Lexical development, in these studies, predicts both their distributive and collective interpretations, while development of the inhibition component of executive function predicts children’s collective interpretations, but not their distributive interpretations. In this project, we test Spanish distributive and collective interpretations in a sample of bilingual Spanish-English-speaking 1st graders and an age- matched sample of monolingual Spanish-speaking children in Mexico. We find that the bilingual children have significantly greater inhibition scores than the monolingual children. The monolingual children, in contrast, have greater lexical scores than the bilinguals. Further results show that the monolinguals have more adult-like distributive and collective interpretations than do the bilinguals and that lexical scores are predictive of distributive- collective interpretations in the combined sample, while inhibition is not. We conclude that lexicon plays a greater role in collective implicature interpretations than does inhibition.
Vowel Compression in Altiplateau Mexican Spanish
Authors: Marchini Gilly , Ramsammy Michael
Published: December 2022

This paper presents an exploratory study of coda-driven vowel compression in Altiplateau Mexican Spanish (AMS). Previous research has led to the claim that pan-dialectal, coda-driven compression does not occur in Spanish and that, instead, only onset complexity drives the shortening of following vowels (Aldrich & Simonet 2019). Based on acoustic analysis of continuously read speech, we find that mid and low vowels in AMS centralise in closed unstressed syllables, and they also display significant shortening in CVC contexts (relative to their uncompressed duration in CV syllables). By contrast, onset complexity does not induce significant compression in our data. Inferential testing confirms that it is an interaction between stress and syllable structure (i.e. coda presence in unstressed syllables) that is most significant in driving both qualitative and quantitative compression. We argue that phonologically constrained, coda-driven compression occurs in Spanish, but it is dialect-specific and stress-dependent. We consider the implications of these variety-specific patterns in the context of debates concerning Spanish resyllabification, phonological rhythm and the acoustic marking of stress.

Argead Women and Religion
Authors: Carney Elizabeth D.
Published: December 2022

The studies on the relationship between religion and Macedonian monarchy have been mainly focused on male rulers. This paper tries to compile and analyse the evidence for Macedonian royal women. This article demonstrates the importance of public religion and patronage for those women through archaeological, epigraphical, and textual evidence. The corpus shows that religious affairs in Macedonia were necessarily entangled with political and cultural aspects, hindering straightforward conclusions about the range and evolution of the royal women in the public religion of Argead Macedonia.
A New Book and Further Recent Scholarship on Seleukid Royal Women
Authors: Coskun Altay
Published: December 2022

The article sets out by briefly surveying recent scholarship on the Seleukid kingdom and Hellenistic queenship. Two important works that fall into both fields: Women and Monarchy in the Ancient World edited by Beth Carney and Sabine Müller (2021) and Basilissa authored by Christiane Kunst (2022). The discussion, however, concentrates on the first monograph that systematically explores Seleukid queenship: Robin Hämmerling’s Zwischen dynastischem Selbstbild und literarischem Stereotyp. Königinnen der Seleukiden und der Mittelmächte Kleinasiens (2019). By investigating the roles of the sister and the mother of the king as well as inter-dynastic marriages, Hämmerling explores the extent of the basilissa’s autonomous agency. Revisiting the evidence leads the author of the present article to many alternative views, especially concerning the early Seleukid women from Apama over Stratonike to Laodike I-IV . While Hämmerling rightly identifies the sibling marriage among the Seleukids as ritual role play until the generation of Antiochos III, the same arguments should have induced him to challenge the standard claim that there was a radical change beginning with Antiochos the son of Antiochos III. Another shortcoming is the assumption of monogamy as the norm in the House of Seleukos, although the evidence clearly favours polygamy as the prevailing model. But Hämmerling’s main conclusion is confirmed: the political power of the Seleukid queen was limited and confined to some instances of troubled successions; her typical role was to represent the royal family rather than to rule. Yet he omits an investigation into the basilissa title. He follows the traditional view that it could be borne by every woman of the king’s family, whereas the present paper argues that it is mostly attested for only one woman, namely the mother of the designated successor, co-ruling king, or king after his succession. The position of the basilissa was thus to support the smooth dynastic transition at the polygamous court, it did not come with any institutional power.

FUNGSI PENILAIAN OTENTIK (AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT) PADA MATA PELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM
Authors: PUTRI.B.P ANJANI
Published: December 2022

Authentic assessment is the activity of evaluating students who emphasize what should be assessed, both the process and the results with various assessment instruments. Authentic assessment is also a designation used to describe the real tasks that students need to carry out in producing knowledge to reproduce information. For example, in learning to read a student has not been said to learn meaningfully if he has not been able to make predictions, prove predictions, and retell the contents of the reading. Therefore in learning it is very necessary to do an authentic assessment to ensure the formation of real competencies in students.

Some things that become the principle in assessment are that the assessment process must be an inseparable part of the learning process, not a separate part of the learning process (part of, not a part form instruction). Assessment must reflect real world problems, not school world (school work-kind problems). Assessments must use a variety of measures, methods, and criteria that are appropriate to the characteristics and essence of the learning experience. Assessment must be holistic which includes all aspects of the learning objectives (cognitive, affective, and sensory-motor).

Authors: Wardan Khusnul
Published: December 2022

From the exposure to the results of the interview, it can be concluded about the implementation of Teacher Performance Assessment (PKG) at SMK Negeri 1 Sangatta Utara as follows: First, the implementation of PKG by the principal and assistant has been going well, this is illustrated from the results of observations and interviews in the field of all interviewees who were asked answered that they had been in PKG by the principal and assessors from the element of senior teachers. In principle, teachers are happy in PKG because PKG is a part of the teacher quality development program. From the implementation of the PKG, the teacher knows the location of the advantages and disadvantages in carrying out tasks within one academic year.

Second, based on data in the field, there are still many teachers who do not know what components are assessed by the school principal in implementing PKG. The teacher assumes that PKG is the same as the implementation of supervision, which is what is assessed by the learning device and process. Supervision is part of the PKG because the implementation of the PKG also requires class visits by the principal to find out how teachers teach. To provide an understanding that informs teachers about the implementation of the PKG and what components are being assessed, the principal needs to socialize to the teacher about what components are assessed in the implementation of the PKG. This socialization needs to be done so that teachers have the same perception of the implementation of PKG by the school principal.

Third, the principal needs to evaluate the PKG implementation that has been implemented. This evaluation aims to determine the extent of the success of the PKG implementation and the contribution of PKG to improving the quality of teachers at SMK Negeri 1 Sangatta Utara. Things that need to be evaluated include planning the PKG, organizing the PKG, implementing the PKG. The school principal needs to involve and invite discussion of the components involved in implementing the PKG.

Published: December 2022

Sustainability in quality production and ensuring a tangible soil health, are the two most discerning challenges, which the fruit crops are likely to confront with in years to come. Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) is one such option, which exploits the synergy of divergent nutrient sources. As many as four modules of INM (T2: RDF + VAM 500 g/plant + PSB 100g/plant + Azospirillum 50g/plant; T3 : 100% RDF + VAM 500 g/plant + PSB 100g/ plant + Azospirillum 100g/plant + T. harzianum 100g/plant; T4 : 75% RDF + VAM 500 g/plant + PSB 100g/plant + Azospirillum 100g/plant and T5 :50% RDF + VAM 500 g/plant + PSB g/plant + Azospirillum 100g/plant + T.harzianum 100g/plant) were tested against inorganic mineral fertilization T1 (Recommended dose of fertilizers, RDF (900 N- 225 P2O5-225 K2O g/plant for Nagpur mandarin, 450 N- 225 P2O5 â€“ 450 K2O g/plant for Khasi mandarin and 1125 N- 263 P2O5 - 300 K2O g/plant for Sathgudi sweet orange) as control in 11-12 year-old Nagpur mandarin orchard established on Vertisols at Akola, Maharashtra (2009-15); Khasi mandarin on Alfisols at Tinsukia, Asom (2009-15) and Sathgudi sweet orange on Inceptisols at Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh (2006-19) under All India Coordinated Research Project on Fruits. Based on pooled data analysis, treatment T4 with 75% RDF + VAM (500 g/plant) + PSB (100 g/plant) + Azospirillum (100 g/plant) + T. harzianum (100 g/plant) produced by far the best response over T1 control in Nagpur mandarin grown on Vertisol. Similarly, in Khasi mandarin, raised on Alfisol, T4 was observed significantly superior over T1 control. While in Sathgudi sweet orange on Alfisol, T4 surpassed rest of the other treatments including T1 control. Soil health parameters were significantly better with treatment T4 exploiting the efficacy of INM module than treatment T1 as control. The review on recommendations of INM on a variety of fruit crops (Guava, mango, banana, papaya, pomegranate, aonla, litchi, sapota, lemon) revealed similar combinations. These observations provided a countrywide database that INM module which consists of nutrient sources having three-tier nutrient release pattern, has far reaching consequences on soil and plant health ranslating into real guard production sustainability, nearer to climate resilient fruit crops.

Published: December 2022

Five cyanobacterial strains, viz. Anabaena variabilis, Nostoc muscorum, Tolypothrix tenuis, Aulosira fertilissima and Westiellopsis prolifica were utilized extracellular insoluble tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and Mussorie rock phosphate (MRP) when provided as sole P source by replacing the conventional source of P (K2HPO4) in BG-11 medium. These strains exhibited a differential response to insoluble forms of phosphorus both in terms of growth and nitrogen fixation. A. variabilis, N. muscorum and W. proliï¬ca showed better growth in presence of TCP while T. tenuis and A. fertilissima proliferated better in presence of MRP. N. muscorum recorded maximum growth in terms of total chlorophyll content (6.21 Î¼g/ml) in presence of TCP (20 mg P/l) followed by T. tenuis (6.10 Î¼g/ml) in presence of MRP (20 mg P/l) after 21 days of incubation. Nitrogen fixation measured as acetylene reduction (AR) activity showed signiï¬cant variation among different strains when grown at varied concentrations of TCP or MRP and time of incubation. N. muscorum showed maximum AR activity of 6.17 Î¼mole C2H4/mg chl/h in presence of MRP (20 mg P/l) followed by A. variabilis which recorded 5.46 Î¼mole C2H4/mg chl/h but in presence of TCP (20 mg P/l) after 28 days of incubation. In general, in all the strains tested, AR activity was more in presence of higher concentration of TCP/ MRP than their lower concentrations (10 mg P/l). In terms of P-solubilization, A. variabilis was found to be the best, showing maximum amount of available P, i.e. 0.224 Î¼g/ml and TCP (20 mg P/l) was the best utilized source of mineral P compared to MRP.

Published: December 2022

In litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonner.) orchards of northern India, imbalanced nutrient applications and poor soil health status are the major constraints for lower orchard efficiency and poor fruit productivity. Soil and leaf nutrient indexing are considered supportive tools to recognize the nutritional status of litchi orchards and assess the relationship between nutrients, fruit yield and quality attributes. Hence a multi-location study was carried out at Hoshiarpur (S-I), Gurdaspur (S-II), and Pathankot (S-III) districts of Punjab during 2018–20 to study the soil-leaf nutrient relationships with fruit quality and yield of litchi. Nutritional analysis of leaf samples from litchi orchards demonstrated that Ca content was lower in 28.1% of orchards, followed by N (26.4%) and Mn (23.2%). Soil-leaf nutrient matrix was positively and significantly correlated with each other for K, Ca, and Mg content. A significant positive relationship between leaf N and K with fruit yield, size, weight, proportion of pulp (%) and pulp/stone ratio were observed. A significant and negative correlation was registered for colour value (hue angle, hο) with leaf K and Ca contents depicted better pericarp red colour. It was observed that leaf N and K contents are primarily associated with the enhancement of fruit yield. Leaf Ca, Zn, Fe, and Cu content substantially influenced the fruit’s physical and quality parameters of litchi.
Fertilizer prescription for target yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum) in alluvial soils
Authors: SINGH JAGDEEP , MAVI M S , SAINI SAT PAL
Published: December 2022

Soil test crop response correlation studies were carried out to establish target yield prescription equations for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under the Integrated Plant Nutrition System (IPNS) at Research Farm of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab during 2019–2021. Fertilizer prescriptions under NPK alone and IPNS were developed for wheat crops using Ramamoorthy's “Inductive cum Targeted yield approach”. The amount of nutrients needed for producing 100 kg of wheat were 2.06, 0.78, and 1.95 kg/q of N, P2O5 and K2O, respectively. The nutrients contributed by soil and fertilizer were found to be 52.3% and 54% N, 11.7% and 50% P, and 20.2% and 20.6% K, respectively. Likewise, the organic material in the form of rice residue incorporation contributed 42.0% N, 15.3% P, and 26.0% K and increased the nutrient (N, P and K) uptake. The incorporated rice residue increased the soil organic carbon and microbial population substantially resulting in more mineralization thereby increasing nutrient availability. Therefore, the site-specific targeted yield-based approach used for developing fertilizer prescription equations gives a shred of strong evidence for maintaining soil health with higher crop yields and efficient nutrient management.

Published: December 2022

An experiment was conducted at the ICAR Nagaland Centre during rainy (kharif) season of 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 to check the most suitable maize (Zea mays L.) variety and cropping geometry for maize + greengram (Vigna radiata L.) intercropping system. The results revealed that among the varieties of maize, VHM-45 recorded highest grain yield (4.92 t/ha) and stover yield (14.76 t/ha). Whereas, in intercropping system 1:1 (maize + greengram) recorded highest grain yield (5.16 t/ha) and stover yield (17.06 t/ha). The highest grain yield (1.27 t/ha) and stover yield (2.64 t/ha) of greengram was recorded in sole crop. Maize equivalent yield (MEY) was highest in VHM-45 intercropped with greengram (8.73 t/ha). Whereas, in crop geometry, maize + greengram (1:1) intercropping system recorded the highest MEY (9.16 t/ha). The soil nutrient status after harvest showed an increase in available N, P2O5 and K2O kg/ha in sole or higher density in greengram as compared to others. The competition functions like land equivalent ratio (LER) and aggressivity (A) in maize + greengram prominently indicated benefits of the intercropping system.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that aims to expand the benefits of continuously connected internet connectivity. This study aims to utilize IoT in home automation and remote light control systems that can be operated with a smartphone application via an internet connection (WiFi). This system uses the NodeMCU ESP8266 module as a microcontroller, a light emitting diode (LDR) sensor as a controller for automating lights according to environmental conditions, and the Blynk smartphone application as a remote control for lights. The light control process can be carried out specifically on certain lamps and can be controlled by changes in ambient light in the morning and evening. The results show that when the LDR sensor gets minimal light, the light will be ON and vice versa the light will be OFF when more light intensity is received by the LDR. In addition, the Blynk application is able to control the lights remotely when connected to the internet network and, in this study, has been tested up to a distance of 2.7 km. It can be concluded that as long as the system is connected to WiFi stably and continuously, this control system can perform the task of turning on and off the lights independently when the owner is not at home.

Elemental mapping of Ostracoda valves to infer the paleothermometric fluctuations from off-Visakhapatnam, Bay of Bengal is the focus of the present paper. Two Ostracoda species such as Bairdoppilata (Bairdoppilata) alcyonicola and Actinocythereis scutigera were dominant throughout the core. The weight percentages of Mg, Sr, Ba, Fe and Mn in ostracod carapaces were estimated and the ratio with respect to Ca was analyzed to decipher the paleoclimate and oxy-redox conditions. It is observed that trace element accumulation varies with respect to different ostracod species and shell position. Thus, the elemental mapping of the ostracod carapaces by the EDS techniques proved as a primary proxy to decipher the paleotemperature fluctuations in the study area. Keywords: Paleothermometry, Elemental Mapping, Ostracoda, Visakhapatnam, Bay of Bengal

Construction stage geotechnical investigation for tunnels within rocks includes detailed engineering geological mapping of excavated strata and its subsequent rock mass classification for the purpose of selection and installation of suitable supports. Monitoring of ground deformations during excavation of rock tunnels serves as the principal means of verifying the design of tunnel supports and stability of the excavation. Geology of the area comprises of Archean gneissic complex with basic intrusives overlain unconformably by the Srisailam Quartzites. The contact of basic intrusives with granite reaches was expected to be fractured and sheared and identified as adverse geological conditions and may warrant instrumental monitoring. In this work, the underground excavation of Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) Tunnel2, excavated in the Archean gneisses and granites was mapped by face mapping and 3D geological logging on 1:250 scale during construction stage, for the entire length of 7121Mresulting in identification of Chainages 2776M, 3200M and 4170M for field monitoring. Field instrumentation comprising of MPBX/SPBX, Load cells were installed at the adverse locations. The ground deformations were found to have attained stability with the installation of primary supports comprising shotcrete 50MM thick and pattern rock bolts 4M long full grouted for Rock Mass Class III (Fair Rock), shotcrete 100MM thick and pattern rock bolts)/ Steel Ribs with back fill concrete for Rock Mass Class IV and V(Poor Rock and Very Poor Rock).

Two-Dimensional (2D) Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and geophysical logging and injected tritium tracer studies with hydrogeological tests were carried out at selected location in an area of 5 km2 near the coastal region of Tarapur, Thane district, Maharashtra. The area is in basaltic terrain, overlain by thin cap of alluvium formation and receives an annual rainfall of about 2000 mm. An integrated investigation method was adopted to delineate the subsurface lithological variations, understand the existing aquifer system up to 25 m depth, evaluate aquifer properties, recharge potential and also to monitor the groundwater flow characteristics. The investigation results showed a variable thickness of weathered zone of 1-3 m, existence of two basalt flows, low vertical natural recharge, high transmissivity, high hydraulic conductivity and high groundwater flow rates. The results also depicted that a combination of hydrogeological tests along with resistivity and tracer investigation is an effective tool in mapping and characterizing the shallow potential groundwater aquifer zone in Deccan traps. The integrated study carried out in the coastal area provided detailed subsurface information useful for planning specific water conservation strategies for sustainable groundwater supply.
