Authors: KUMAR ANKIT , RAM LAKHI , SINGH RAM , SINGH BANVIR
Published: December 2022

Rice (Oryza sativa L.), is the staple food for more than half of the world population and an important target to secure food security and livelihoods for millions. The production of rice to mitigate the consumption requirement needs huge amount of water. Direct seeded rice (DSR) technique is becoming popular nowadays because of its lowinput demands and potential to maximize the water productivity under deficit soil moisture. Rice variety, Pusa 1121 is important variety in major rice growing areas of Indo Gangetic Plain that occupies more than 70% area. The population of planthoppers and stem borers were significantly higher and appeared early in direct seeding crop as compared with transplanted rice (TPR). The mean seasonal incidence of stem borers in 2014 were 9.58 and 5.29% in direct seeding whereas in 2015 it was 9.36 and 4.97%. The damage (white ears) was observed maximum on 42nd week in October. The result revealed that incidence of leaffolder was significantly higher in direct seeding than transplanting. The population/ incidence of pests showed positively significant correlation with biotic factors during the study. The grain yield in transplanting crop was also significantly higher than direct seeding. So, management practices in direct seeding should be practiced earlier as compared to transplanted rice to maximize yield by reducing pest population pressure for sustainable agriculture and to conserve natural resources.

Published: December 2022

Legume plants produce a high diversity of natural secondary metabolites with a prominent function that is important for the communication of the plants with other organisms and are significant for growth and development processes. In the present experiment, 50 roots of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr], were selected from the fields during 2016 to study the effect of root metabolites on bacterial growth and their growth hormone production potential. Bioassay was performed on the germination of chickea (Cicer arietinum L.) plant. The results indicated that the secondary metabolites of legume root enhance bacterial growth. It was found that the bacterial (Pseudomonas) growth was concentration dependent and was highest at the highest concentration of root extract, reflected by its maximum cell count. The highest cfu count (254 Ã— 105 cfu/ml) of Pseudomonas was obtained in culture medium containing 100% root extract after 48 hr incubation. The amounts of IAA and GA produced at this concentration were 387.9 Î¼g/25ml and 103.87 Î¼g/25 ml, respectively. The production of IAA and GA was maximum in root extract containing media. It was observed that root extract was most effective in inducing seed germination and multiple root production. It was concluded that root extract played a vital role in the in vitro plant growth hormone (IAA and GA) production and enhancement of growth of chickpea plant.

Published: December 2022

Research on haploid induction and their subsequent utilization in basic and genomic research and breeding is still at its infancy due to paucity of research efforts, difficulties in various critical steps, large genome size and limited publications. Haploid development in onion (Allium cepa L.) is only feasible through in-vitro gynogenesis and is influenced by genotype, geographic origin, genetic constitution, physiological stage, growth conditions and cultural conditions. Pollination with irradiated pollen has been reported to induce haploids in onion. However, more successful methodology is through whole flower bud culture. After haploid induction, chromosome doubling, for doubled haploids (DHs) induction, is another limiting factor. Whole basal plant as an explant and amiprofos-methyl as a chromosome doubling agent has been found to be safe and effective. Potential of DH lines has been explored through the study of hybrids using DH as parents and hybrids have been found uniform and promising compared to conventionally developed hybrids. DH line 'Onion haploid OH-1' has been released by USDA to serve as a responsive control for the extraction of gynogenic haploids. DH's have been successfully utilized in onion genomic research for identification of gene and genomic regions affecting quality traits like colour, restorer of male sterility (Ms) locus, bolting, fructan etc. Future studies need to focus on identification of haploidy inducing gene/QTLs, gynogenic responsive genes, establishment of efficient chromosome doubling techniques, restoration of fecundity of DH genotypes and methodology standardisation to transfer them in less/non-responsive desirable genotypes.

Published: December 2022

Water and salinity stresses are the major environmental concerns limiting crop production, particularly in arid and semi-arid ecologies. Focused research is required to develop mitigating strategies to manage such stresses. Application of plant-bioregulators (PBRs) may be an effective option to manage water and salinity stresses. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted during 2016–17 and 2017–18 at semi-arid saline site of NW (north-western) India to assess the effectiveness of salicylic acid and thiourea in easing out the adverse effect of variable water deficit and irrigation water salinity regimes. Increasing water deficit and its salinity significantly (P<0.001) reduced all the studied growth parameters, viz. plant height, crop stand, no. of tillers, leaf area index and relative growth rate; and yield attributes like no. of effective tillers, spike length, grains/spike, grain weight/spike, 1000-grain weight, specific weight. Application of either salicylic acid or thiourea significantly improved growth parameters in comparison to control and thiourea proved more effective. Thiourea application improved grain yield by 3.96 and 17.36%, biological yield by 4.21 and 14.82%, effective no. of tillers by 3.77 and 11.91%, weight/spike by 2.83 and 15.17%, 1000-grain weight by 3.72 and 12.66% and specific weight by 2.04 and 8.84% compared to salicylic acid and control, respectively. This might be due to better nutrient uptake, water relations, enhanced CO2 fixation and effective partitioning of assimilates. Thus, thiourea and salicylic acid application in wheat found better as compared to control under saline water stress.

Published: December 2022

Jute (Corchorus spp. L.), the second most important fibre crop next to cotton, is a biodegradable and eco-friendly crop and one of the main cash crops of eastern India. India is the largest producer of raw jute in the world earning about `2200 crores per annum through export of diversified jute goods for which quality jute fibre is needed. The jute fibre quality depends directly on retting process. In India, more than 90% jute farmers do not have the access to free flowing water, so they carry out jute retting in stagnant water. The quality of jute fibre is deteriorated in stagnant water retting because of several factors like less rainfall, repeated retting, absence of efficient retting microbes, direct use of mud, soil etc. In this review paper we have discussed the views of various research workers about the efficient retting microbes, their utilization as microbial consortium for faster retting and quality jute fibre production even in stagnant water retting. Latest molecular approaches for identification of retting microbes including whole genome sequencing of retting microbes and their utilization as talc based formulation, spore based liquid formulation, use of immobilized strain of efficient retting microbes for faster environment friendly jute retting towards quality jute fibre production under farmers’ field conditions have also been discussed in detail.

Southern leaf blight (SLB) is one of the major diseases that cause substantial yield losses in maize (Zea mays L.) worldwide. Stacking broad-spectrum resistance genes/QTLs into prevalent cultivars is the prerequisite for durable disease resistance breeding programme. Therefore, a study was carried at the research farm and molecular biology laboratory of School of Agricultural Biotechnology, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab during 2017–21 to introgress SLB resistance QTLs from two donors, viz. CM139 (qSLB3.1) and LM5 (qSLB8.1) into CM140 inbred using marker-assisted backcross breeding (MABB). Crosses were made between CM139 × CM140 and LM5 × CM140 to generate two separate F1s. Each F1 was backcrossed twice to generate BC2F1 progenies. Foreground selection was performed at each step using linked flanking markers to each QTL and also evaluated for SLB resistance. The selected heterozygous BC2F1 plants from each cross were inter-crossed to combine qSLB3.1 and qSLB8.1 in the same genetic background. The F2 population was also evaluated phenotypically for SLB resistance and other morphological traits. A total of 18 plants were obtained having both the QTLs with homozygous donor alleles. The F2 plants having both QTLs and singly in the homozygous state were advanced to generate F3 progenies. The pyramided lines exhibited 29% lesser disease severity than the lines with either QTL. The present results indicated that additive effects of the QTLs for SLB resistance played an important role among these lines. To our best knowledge, this is the first report for the pyramiding of QTLs associated with SLB resistance. The pyramided lines would serve as potential donors in maize breeding programs.

Published: December 2022

The manual stalk cutting and grading of garlic (Allium sativum L.) is inconsistent, inefficient and demands skilled labour. A garlic stalk cutter-cum-grader was developed at the Department of Processing and Food Engineering, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana during 2018–19, along with performance evaluation and optimization of working parameters using response surface methodology. The machine comprises of four major units, viz. cutting unit, grading unit, reciprocating assembly and a transmission system. The performance evaluation indicated that there was a significant effect of feed (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 stalks) and moisture content (14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 (±1% in all levels, wet bulb) of the stalk on the performance parameters. The capacity of the machine increased with moisture content and feed rate. The grading efficiency first increased and then decreased with moisture content, whereas it decreased with an increase in feed rate. The bulb damage increased with a decrease in moisture content, whereas the effect of feed was minimal. The cutting efficiency decreased with an increase in the stalk feed rate and moisture content. A moisture content of 30.98% and feed of 3.75 stalks were found optimal, close to the moisture content of 31% and feed of 4 stalks and recommended for the best performance of the machine.

Published: December 2022

The current door lock system still uses conventional keys, making it less efficient for homes with many doors because there are too many keys to carry, besides conventional locks are easily opened by thieves. So that a more practical and efficient key is needed, from this statement the idea of making an automatic door unlock device with an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Sensor and a Touch Sensor by using an electronic ID card as a key to unlock the door is needed. RFID sensors and touch sensors are supporting components so that the device can be controlled. Solenoid door lock can open the door and unlock the door for 5 seconds via commands previously sent from the RFID sensor and touch sensor. And after that the door closed and locked. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the simulation of the door safety device can operate properly, according to the design made. RFID reader is used to read the tag code on the electronic ID card. The solenoid can unlock the door if the electronic ID card tag code matches that registered with the Arduino lde program, when the door is closed the solenoid will lock the door within 5 seconds.

Mr. Arun Kumar H. Chaurasia, ex- Addl Director General, GSI, passed away on 20th November 2022 afternoon at his residence in Nagpur following a massive cardiac arrest. An extremely amiable and non-controversial personality, he virtually had only friends and no enemies. At office and beyond office, he was someone his friends could count upon for his no- nonsense approach, sincerity, cordiality and warmth. His wit and sense of humour were one of a kind that will be deeply missed. Mr. Chaurasia was born on 21st May 1955. Completing his schooling from Central School, Nagpur and his B.Sc. from the Institute of Science, Nagpur he did his M.Sc. (Tech) from the University Department of Geology, Nagpur, in 1980. He initially joined as Geologist in MECL and had worked for coal exploration in Bihar. Thereafter, he joined GSI at Nagpur during April 1981 and was engaged in systematic geological mapping in the Deccan Trap Province. He completed his two year North Eastern Region, Shillong, posting in the mid 1990's and soon after was assigned work in Map and Cartography Division, and thereafter at the Photo Geology and Remote Sensing (PGRS), Division, GSI, Nagpur. Mr Chaurasia was promoted as Director in July 2007 and took over as Director, PGRS Division at GSI, Nagpur. Under his leadership the PGRS Division did extremely well with the ongoing BRGM, France projects. He had undergone advanced PGRS training at the GSI Training Institute. After his promotion as Dy Director General he was posted in Eastern Region, GSI, Kolkata since July 2013. Just before his retirement, he was promoted as Addl Director General and HOD, North Eastern Region, Shillong on 30th May 2015, but took charge at Kolkata as he had just two days to retire. Post retirement, Mr. Chaurasia was leading a peaceful life, looking after the domestic needs of his family members and keeping in touch with his ex-colleagues and friends. A rare kind of human being, his sudden passing away shocked his friends and admirers who will personally miss him as one of their most trusted friends. Mr Chaurasia is someone so special who will never be forgotten. I pray for solace to his Mrs. Mamta, two daughters Ms. Parul and Ms. Pallavi to overcome their saddest loss. I quote lines by Anne Brontë: "Farewell to thee! but not farewell To all my fondest thoughts of thee: Within my heart they still shall dwell; And they shall cheer and comfort me"

La profundidad histórica de las obras de arquitectura patrimonial se manifiesta a través de suatmósfera. Percibir su espacio es percibir su atmósfera. Las atmósferas son la “esencia misma” delas obras de arquitectura, pero estas “no pueden ser representadas directamente” por los mediosconvencionales de representación arquitectónica (Vesely, 2004, p.44). Este ensayo se centra enla representación de las atmósferas de arquitecturas construidas. En él se presenta una seriede ejercicios de notación que diseccionan y caracterizan las cualidades experienciales de edificioshistóricos en la ciudad de Melbourne, así como un conjunto de representaciones que intentancomunicar el efecto total de sus atmósferas. Estos ejercicios sirven como un soporte visual paraabordar la pregunta sobre qué podemos conocer de un lugar a través de sus representaciones.Dada su naturaleza indeterminada y en proceso, el ensayo sugiere que, para poder comunicarla atmósfera de un lugar, las representaciones de arquitectura deberían abrazar su carácterambiguo, misterioso y evocador, en lugar intentar determinarlo. De esta forma, el ensayo buscaacercarse a nuevas técnicas, medios y modos de representación que nos permitan comunicar lascualidades efímeras, ambiguas y difusas de una atmósfera. Finalmente, poniendo a prueba loslímites de la representación de arquitectura, este ensayo pretende contribuir a la comprensióny comunicación del fenómeno de las atmósferas que, aunque esquivo, es una parte esencial denuestro entorno construido.

TBS (Trabecular Bone Score) Used for Evaluation of Patients with Primary and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Authors: Marcela dos Santos Lívia , Marcos Mazoca Orozco Bruno
Published: December 2022

The increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) is related to a worse quality of bone mass. Bone densitometry, as an areal bone measurement, is not always able to assess bone microarchitecture. TBS (trabecular bone score) is a software that evaluates bone microarchitecture from the image of the lumbar spine obtained by bone densitometry. The articles have shown an excellent correlation of TBS with the risk of fragility fracture, especially in the individual who has primary hyperparathyroidism. We suggest that TBS may be an excellent method for assessing bone fragility in patients with hyperparathyroidism, especially if TBS is associated with bone densitometry.

Published: December 2022

In South Africa, the debate on the Language of Teaching and Learning of mathematics in Grade R has been underway. Amid the robust debate on the teaching of mathematics in home language, the students have no voice. This paper explored the language that Grade R students use to navigate mathematics space to achieve the policy’s envisaged outcomes. The theoretical premise for the study is based on Vygotsky’s theory of social constructivism. The qualitative approach guided by the case study design of Grade R 8 students were employed in the study. It is anticipated that this paper provides valuable insights into the understanding of the Grade R students’ acquisition of mathematical language and contributes to the increased awareness in the field of Grade R mathematics teaching to achieve active learning. The findings revealed that (i) students failed to establish that the number of objects does change with the changed arrangement of the same number of objects and (ii) students were able to understand questions asked in their home language, yet their responses were in English.
Perspective Chapter: The Role of Learning Styles in Active Learning
Authors: Lozano-Rodríguez Armando , Inez García-Vázquez Fernanda , Luis García-Cué José
Published: December 2022

Active learning has a wide range of definitions, depending on the authors who define it. However, it can be understood as an instructional method that involves students in the learning process. Learning styles refer to the preferences that students have in their learning process. Learning styles emerge due to our genetics, life experiences and the demands of our current environment. These preferences can be classified and applied in activities that actively and passively require the participation of students. This chapter will attempt to describe active learning and learning styles separately. After that, the theoretical-practical intersections of active learning and learning styles are presented. Students’ learning preferences may (or may not) be accommodated by active learning practices. Sometimes the nature of the style results in an innate passivity in the student. What follows is the teacher’s action to engage students in a more active learning environment despite their predominant style. Based on research, some suggestions are presented in this regard.

Active learning has been introduced in the Universities to reinforce the students’ skills development and increase their motivation and engagement while also fostering the transferability of knowledge into the profession, contrasting with a classical approach, where passive knowledge transfer occurs, and students act as sponges for information. Albeit not completely conceptualized, active learning demands the student’s involvement with the learning activities, the analysis and ability to respond to specific situations, and a critical reflection on the learning process. In Health Sciences, case-based and cooperative learning are among the most used active learning strategies. They present multiple configurations and vary greatly in terms of implementation. Students’ adherence to active learning depends on the perceived utility, level of effort requested by the activities, and self-confidence in the quality of achieved learning. Under the Think4Jobs, an Erasmus+ project, a University-Business collaboration was implemented to design work-based activities for pilot courses of the Veterinary Medicine program aiming to increase the students’ adherence to active learning strategies while reducing any mismatch in students’ competencies at graduation. In this chapter, we propose discussing how the collaboration was conceptualized and implemented. We also present some activities jointly designed to foster students’ clinical reasoning/critical thinking and decision-making.

Authors: Chukwukere Ogoke Christian
Published: December 2022

The accurate identification of the actual causes (aetiology) of cerebral palsy (CP) and understanding the causal pathways and the neuropathological correlations are critical to the development of both prevention strategies and a holistic classification of CP. The aetiology of CP is multifactorial with diverse and complex causal mechanisms. It has remained a challenge to identify all the non-progressive disturbances and causal pathways in CP despite pivotal contributions from recent advances in neuroimaging. The objectives of this chapter are to discuss the risk factors for CP, elucidate the causal pathways based on current perspectives and explain the pathophysiology of the clinical manifestations of an abnormally developing or damaged motor system. It is expected that at the end of this chapter, the reader should be able to comprehend the challenge in accurately identifying the actual causes of CP and understanding the complex causal pathways and explain the protean clinical features of CP.
Nature of Importance of Various Parameters for Ideal Biofuel Crops: Special Reference to Rapeseed Mustard
Authors: Bawa Vanya , Kumar Rai Sunil
Published: December 2022

To increase the performance of diesel engine and environment, the utilization of biofuel as a major source of renewable energy is justified. It is well understood that agri-based biofuel is always also the choice in case of utilization as biofuel because of requirement of processing and threat to food security. Therefore, scope of improvement increases as it is yet to efficiently exploit as major full in the world. There are numerous factors that influence the efficiency of a fuel and its combustion. The physiochemical properties, namely viscosity, surface tension, flash point, latent heat of vaporization, oxidation, etc., allow the fuel to work efficiently during combustion. Thus, interests in biofuels have been increased, and various experimental studies have been developed for diesel engines consisting of methanol and methyl ester of rapeseed oil. In a relevant study, to achieve ideal biofuel, various biotechnological advances at the frontiers of plant science to dissect the underlying traits for identification of fatty acid profile useful for oil production and quality are essential, thereby ensuring food security. The plant-based fuel and its efficient utilization depend upon its oil quality and quantity, which thereby can be evaluated and enhanced by various conventional and nonconventional approaches of engineering and plant sciences.

Sustainable irrigation is sensible application of watering to plants in agriculture, landscapes that aids in meeting current survival and welfare needs. Sustainable irrigation management can help with climate change adaptation, labor, energy savings, and the production of higher-value and yield of crops to achieve zero hunger in water-scarce world. To ensure equal access to water and environmental sustainability, investments in expanded and enhanced irrigation must be matched by improvements in water governance. Sustainable irrigation must be able to cope with water scarcity, and be resilient to other resource scarcities throughout time in context of energy and finance. The themes and SDGs related to clean water, water resources sustainability, sustainable water usage, agricultural and rural development are all intertwined in the concept of “sustainable irrigation for higher yield.” Sustainable irrigation management refers to the capability of using water in optimum quantity and quality on a local, regional, national, and global scale to meet the needs of humans and agro-ecosystems at present and in the future to sustain life, protect humans and biodiversity from natural and human-caused disasters which threaten life to exist. Resultantly higher yields will ensure food security.
Photocatalysis of Covalent Organic Frameworks
Authors: Liu Hui , Zhao Yingjie
Published: December 2022

The development of clean and sustainable energy is gaining attention in light of the current energy crisis and global warming. An ideal way to utilize renewable solar energy is to convert clean energy through photocatalysis. This includes splitting water, reducing CO2, regenerating coenzymes, etc. Photocatalysis relies heavily on photocatalysts. It has recently become popular to use organic porous polymers in this process. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as one of the organic porous polymers, have the characteristics of high crystallinity, porosity, and structural designability that make them perfect platforms for photocatalysis. An overview of recent advances in COF photocatalysts is presented in this chapter. The photocatalytic applications of COFs with different ligation and different structures were first discussed, including photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, CO2 conversion, coenzyme regeneration, and conventional organic reactions. Finally, conclusions and prospects were provided in the last section.
Perspective Chapter: Will the Traditional Teacher Education Models Stand the Pandemics and Cyclones?
Authors: Obed Livingstone Banda Lazarus , Thokozani Banda Jane
Published: December 2022

The chapter portrays the impact of COVID-19 and tropical cyclones on scrambled teaching practice supervision in the Southern African Development Community countries. Focus group discussions with student-teachers and field supervisors revealed that the pandemic and the natural disasters highly hampered teaching practice supervision quality. Delayed commissioning of the exercise due to damaged infrastructure and minimal physical mobility between the college and the practice schools impacted the frequency and spacing of field visits. Neither of the players preferred the scrambled supervision model. The chapter emphasizes that face-to-face traditional teacher education methods cannot absolutely stand the taste of pandemics and tropical cyclones. Resilient higher education institutions and requisite structures are key to sustainable quality teacher education amidst cyclones and pandemics.
The Impact of Earthquakes on Dropout Doline (Cover Collapse Sinkhole) Development: A Case Study from the Environs of Mečenčani and Borojevići (Croatia)
Authors: Veress Márton , Matić Natalija , Mitre Zoltán , Szunyogh Gábor
Published: December 2022

In this study, the effect of earthquakes, beginning on 28 December 2020, on dropout doline development in the environs of Mečenčani and Borojevići was investigated. For that purpose, the shape of the doline, the inclination of the bearing surface and the rate of doline development were determined. A further analysis involved the characteristics of groundwater in the environs of the dolines and a functional relationship between the depth and the diameter of the dolines was sought. A model is proposed for the failure of the ceiling of cover cavities without support. The intensity of doline development is explained by favourable environment (dual cavity system, low inclination of the bearing surface, the presence and fluctuation of groundwater, etc.), the direct effect of earthquakes (material failure induced by earthquakes) and by their indirect effect (the partial solifluction of the ceiling material, lowered groundwater level).
