infections temperature, colour, turbidity, DO, TDS, TSS, alkalinity, hardness, chloride, and some heavy metals of the water samples were examined using APHA method. Bacteriological analyses were performed using the membrane filtration technique. Colonies formed were counted and expressed in CFU/100mL. Enteric bacteria were enumerated and characterized by their  morphological characteristics and biochemical tests. Axenic cultures of the isolates were further subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) using the modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method, based on the guidelines by CLSI. Results revealed that physicochemical parameters and some heavy metals were within acceptable limits, except for Fe (0.01-0.72 mg/L) and Pb (0.01-0.25 mg/L). Total bacterial counts ranged from 1.2×104 to 6.8×104 CFU/100mL, indicating high contamination. Morphological characteristics revealed twelve (12) isolates of enteric bacteria, comprising Escherichia coli (41.67%), Salmonella sp. (33.33%) and Shigella sp. (25%). All the isolates exhibited 100% resistant to augmentin and tetracycline, but showed varying degrees of susceptibilities; E. coli to levofloxacin (60%), Salmonella sp. to ertapenem, imipenem, levofloxacin and nalidixic acid (100%), and Shigella sp. to ceftriaxone and ertapenem (100%). ‘First flush’ diverters are recommended to be installed within the water collecting system, in order to divert runoff from the rooftop after a period of no rainfall.

Authors: Gyawali Bisheshta , Subedi Sudip , Poudel Mukti Ram
Published: September 2024

Wheat being one of the most important crops of Nepal after rice and maize is prone to abiotic stresses like heat and drought stress. Climate change, increasing temperature and decreasing precipitation is found to be the major cause of drought and heat stress, especially making developing countries like Nepal to be most vulnerable to the negative impacts on productivity and sustainability. Abiotic stress imposes devastating changes on morphology, biochemistry and physiological processes of wheat. Loss in seed vigor, decrease in germination rate, poor crop stand and abnormal embryo are common impact seen due to combined Abiotic stress. Though many trial has been performed on effect of heat and drought, there is a need for trial imposing wheat to combined stress environment. This review especially deals with the impacts of Abiotic stress along with management including tolerant varieties such as Bhrikuti, NL1420, BL4669, NL1350 and NL1368 and agronomic techniques like mulching, use of early varieties, early sowing and incorporation of Biochar.

Embracing organic techniques can minimize environmental impacts and promote practices that enhance soil and ecological health. A field experiment to study, “Comparative Analysis of Manures and Fertilizer on Okra Growth, Yield and its Economics in Baitadi, Nepal” was conducted at Gokuleshwor Agriculture and Animal Science College in 2023. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications and 7 treatments. The variety used in this experiment was ‘Arka Anamika’. The treatments used in the experiment were FYM, Goat manure, Poultry manure, Vermicompost, Sesame cake, RDF, and Control (no fertilizer). The fertilizer provided the necessary nitrogen, while the insufficient phosphorus and potassium were supplemented with single super phosphate and muriate of potash, respectively. Results revealed that the application of different fertilizers significantly affected various vegetative and reproductive parameters such as germination days, plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, number of branches, number of buds, number of open flowers, number of pods, pod’s length, girth of pods, weight of pods and yield. The results obtained were minimum germination days(4.64) for RDF. Maximum plant height(208.43cm), maximum stem diameter(9.4cm), and number of branches(24.27) were obtained by application of poultry manure at 60 DAS. A maximum number of buds, open flowers, and pods were recorded in poultry manure and RDF application at 75 DAS. The maximum length of the pod(12.52cm) in vermicompost and the maximum girth of the pod(1.59cm) in poultry manure were obtained while the maximum wt. of the pod(14.1gm) in sesame cake. The application of poultry manure obtained a maximum yield per hectare(15.51t/ha). Also in the B: C ratio, Poultry manure exhibited higher(2.65) as compared to other treatments. From this study, we can conclude that poultry manure could contribute to the higher yield and overall attributes of okra.
Impact and tolerance mechanism of heat stress in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.): A review
Authors: Bhatt Suchi , Sharma Smirti , Yadav Sashi Bhusan Kumar
Published: September 2024

Wheat is one of the major cereal crops preferred by world’s population.  About 55% of world’s population depend on wheat to meet their 20% calorie requirement. Wheat being a winter crop grows best in 15-25 degree Celsius of temperature range. But due to increasing global warming climatic requirement of wheat is not fulfilled and suffer different abiotic stresses such as heat, drought, salinity, cold, excess water etc. Among which heat stress is one of the major abiotic stresses faced by wheat. It has different morphological, biochemical and physiological consequences on wheat for instance poor grain quality, decreased grain number and weight, decreased photosynthesis due to disruption in chlorophyll structure and function, reduced starch content due to poor efficiency of enzyme required in biosynthesis. To cope up with all these impacts of heat stress wheat has developed various tolerance mechanisms such as release of heat shock protein, antioxidant defense mechanism, membrane thermostability, stay green, omics approaches etc. Heat shock protein helps to prevent death of cell, accumulation of denatured protein, refolding of protein, transmission of heat shock responses etc. While omics approaches help in gene profiling, protein identification etc. knowledge about both the effect and tolerance mechanism of heat stress in wheat helps to develop heat tolerant varieties with collaborative effort of plant breeder, physiologist etc. that helps to maintain food security.
Optimizing seed priming techniques: Impact of halo priming with sodium chloride on fenugreek (Trigonella foenum L.) in germination and stress acclimatization
Authors: Subedi Yushika , Thapa Bronika
Published: September 2024

Germination is a critical stage in plant development that determines the crop yield.  Seed priming acts as a pre-sowing treatment that stimulates germination and activates metabolic process. Hydro-priming is widely practiced system which enhances germination but reduces seed storability whereas halo-priming enhances self-life and induces salinity tolerance.  This study investigated the effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) priming on the germination of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum L.) seeds under moisture stress conditions. Despite stress condition, seed priming can noticeably increase the germination. A lab experiment was therefore, performed to study the effect of NaCl priming on different levels of moisture stress. NaCl priming was done at 0 ppm, 2 ppm, 4 ppm and, 8 ppm subjected to priming duration of 12 hours, 24 hours and 36 hours.  The result demonstrated 100% germination at 0 g for all durations (12, 24, and 36 hours), and similar outcomes were observed at 8 g for 12, 24, and 36 hours, and at 4 g and 6 g for 12 and 36 hours. While the mean germination time, coefficient of velocity of germination increased with increment in priming duration at 0 g and decrease with increment in priming duration in 8gm NaCl concentration. Halo-priming was found superior above hydro-priming for fenugreek germination as salinity induces changes in lipid metabolism towards accumulation of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids in stressed plants. This research provides compelling evidence that NaCl priming can be used to promote germination and improves acclimatization of fenugreek seedlings under saline conditions.

Published: September 2024

This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of different packaging materials on the shelf life and banana quality (cv G9) at the laboratory, Campus of Live Sciences, Tulsipur, Dang, Nepal. The different packaging materials were used as high-density non-perforated polyethylene bags, low-density non-perforated polyethylene bags, low-density perforated polyethylene bags, fiber bags, jute bags, paddy straw with cardboard, and a control treatment (in open trays). The research was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. The bananas were packed in different packaging materials after being treated with a 250 ppm ethephon solution. Parameters such as peel color, physiological weight loss, pulp-to-peel ratio, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), and Benedict test were assessed at two-day interval. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed highly significant differences for all the recorded parameters except TA. Unpackaged fruits lost 22.92% of their weight, while fruits packed in high-density non-perforated polythene (HDNP) and low-density non-perforated polythene (LDNP) bags lost 13.27% and 6.15%, respectively. Peel colour development from green mature to yellow was observed first in bananas packed in low-density perforated polyethylene (LDPP) bags followed by open trays, jute bags, and paddy straws. The lowest pulp-to-peel ratio was observed in HDNP and LDNP bags. It can be concluded that packaging bananas in high-density and low-density non-perforated polyethylene bags resulted in longer shelf life. The sweetness, aroma, and mouthfeel of bananas in jute bags, fiber bags, and paddy straws were highly accepted. Thus, LDPP bags were found effective in early ripening and uniform yellow colour development on bananas.

Published: September 2024

Background: Behavior is determined by the intention to perform a behavior. Intentions are further influenced by three constructs, attitudes (the advantages and disadvantages of engaging in a behavior), subjective norms (social influences on a behavior) and perceived behavioral control (facilitators and barriers to a behavior). The study aimed to analyze the contextual influence of the hamlet on the application of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) construct in the decision to stop smoking among adults in Surakarta. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 22 villages in Surakarta in November-December. A sample of 200 adult smokers and quitters was selected using snowball sampling. The dependent variable is the decision to stop smoking. The independent variables are intention, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed using multilevel multiple linear regression. Results: A person's decision to stop smoking is directly influenced by the intention to stop smoking (b= 0.18: 95% CI= 0.07 to 0.28; p= 0.001). Intention to quit smoking was significantly influenced by attitudes about smoking (b= 0.21: 95% CI= 0.10 to 0.32; p <0.001), subjective norms (b=0.19: 95% CI= 0.06 to 0.32; p= 0.003), and perception behavioral control (b= 0.25: 95% CI= 0.09 to 0.42; p= 0.002). Variations at level 2 hamlets have a contextual relationship to the decision to stop smoking (ICC= 10.43%). Conclusion: Decision to quit smoking is directly influenced by the level of intention to quit smoking. Intention to quit smoking itself is influenced by attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Hamlet has a contextual effect on the decision to quit smoking. Keywords: multilevel analysis, theory of planned behavior, decision to stop smoking. Correspondence: Rajba Nazalah. Master’s Program in Public Health, Universitas Sebelas Maret. Jl. Ir.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FIRM CHARACTERISTICS AND DISCLOSURE LEVEL: A STUDY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO NON-BANKING FINANCIAL COMPANIES IN INDIA
Authors: Jyoti Amar , Kumar Bidyut , Das Sweety
Published: September 2024

This study examines the impact of firm characteristics specifically firm size, firm age, and profitability on the level of financial disclosure among Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in India. The objective is to assess how these factors influence disclosure level, measured through a disclosure index based on key items related to corporate governance, financial performance, and regulatory compliance. Data from 10 prominent NBFCs, including Bajaj Finance and HDFC Ltd etc., were collected from their Annual Reports for 2023. Multiple regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of firm size, firm age, and profitability (measured by ROA and net profit margin) on the disclosure score. Descriptive statistics show wide variation in firm size (mean: ₹1134.70 crore), firm age (mean: 28.9 years), and ROA (mean: 3.63%). The disclosure score ranges from 0.46 to 0.82, with a mean of 0.67. Regression results indicate that firm size (β = 0.025, p < 0.05) and firm age (β = 0.015, p < 0.01) significantly positively influence disclosure, while ROA (β = 0.020, p < 0.05) shows a smaller impact. The net profit margin was not significant (p > 0.05). The model explains 72% of the variance in disclosure scores (R² = 0.72), highlighting the importance of these firm characteristics in promoting financial transparency among NBFCs.
प्राचीन मानवीय विकास में हथियारों का उपयोग एक अध्ययन
Authors: Kushwaha Sadhna
Published: September 2024

मानवीय सभ्यता के विकास के साथ ही अस्त्र और शस्त्र का प्रयोग माना जाता है। इसकी उपज मानव ने अपनी सुरक्षा के भाव से पैदा की। लेकिन समय परिवर्तन के साथ उसका स्वरूप परिवर्तित और विकसित होता चला गया। जिसमें विश्व की अनेक सभ्यताओं में अनेक हथियारों से लेकर धातु कर्म तक अनेक स्वरूप में विकास हुआ। इसका विकास भारत में पुराण कालीन सभ्यता के बाद सिंधु सभ्यता, गुप्त काल, मौर्य काल, मुगल काल राजपूत, राजाओं का समय और मराठा साम्राज्य आदि के अस्त्र-शस्त्रओं का वर्णन भारत के इतिहास को और यहां विकसित हुई। मानवीय सभ्यताओं के विकास को रेखांकित करता है। हथियारों का संबंध मूल रूप से हिंदी भाषा की पुस्तकों में मिलता है, क्योंकि हिंसात्मक प्रवृत्ति के रूप में हमेशा से हथियार को रेखांकित किया जाता रहा है। किंतु समय परिवर्तन के साथ यह सुरक्षा, संप्रभुता, संरक्षण और सामूहिक विकास का माध्यम बनता चला गया। जिसका संदर्भ आज 21वीं शताब्दी के सूचना प्रौद्योगिकी के तकनीकी दौर में देखा जा सकता है। जिसमें देशों के बीच संगठित राजनीतिक, सामाजिक संरचना विकसित होने के बाद युद्ध की संगठनात्मक प्रवृतियां संस्थागत रूप से बढ़ रही हैं। जिसका प्रमुख उदाहरण मध्य एशिया और यूक्रेन रूस युद्ध के रूप में देखा जा सकता है। साथ ही हत्यारों को वर्तमान परिदृश्य में सुरक्षा के मनोविज्ञान के भाव से भी देखा जा रहा है। क्योंकि भारत जैसे देशों में जहां भुखमरी, गरीबी, बेरोजगारी और बुनियादी सुविधाओं की वंचना मौजूद है। वहां हथियारों की दौड़ में जीडीपी के एक बड़े हिस्से को अस्त्र और शस्त्र खरीदने पर केंद्रित कर दिया है। विकास की संभावनाओं के क्रम में हथियारों की इस दौड़ को पुनर्विचार करके रेखांकित करना होगा। क्योंकि सतत और संभावित विकास की संभावनाओं के लिए मनुष्य का क्रमिक रूप से पृथ्वी पर बना रहना नितांत आवश्यक है इसका उल्टा क्रम भी उतना ही प्रासंगिक है कि प्रकृति का मनुष्य के विकास के लिए बना रहना अत्यंत आवश्यक है। क्योंकि वर्तमान परिदृश्य में यह माना जा रहा है कि संपूर्ण विश्व में न्यूक्लियर हथियारों की उपलब्धता इतनी अधिक है, पृथ्वी जैसे को 7 बार नष्ट किया जा सकता है।

किसी भी जनसमुदाय की भाषा सहज सुनिर्मित नहीं होती है। उसे अपने निर्माण के अनेक चरण देखने पड़ते हैं, तब कहीं वह व्याकरण सम्मत, सुसंस्कृत एवं साहित्योपयोगी होकर तत्कालीन समाज का दर्पण बनती है। किसी भी समुदाय की भाषा के निर्माण में शताब्दियां गुजर जाती हैं, तब जाकर भाषाएं जन्म लेती हैं। मनुष्य के बाह्य एवं आन्तरिक प्रयत्नों से उत्पन्न यह भाषा समूह की यात्रा करती है। यह यात्रा मानव के तत्कालीन समाज का सांस्कृतिक, सामाजिक एवं धार्मिक वैभव साथ लेकर चलती है। मानव समुदायों द्वारा निर्मित सभी भाषाएं हमारी सामूहिक संस्कृति की धरोहर हैं। इस विश्व में भाषाओं का संसार इतना विस्तृत है जिसका सटीक एवं सम्पूर्ण ज्ञान हो पाना सहज संभव नहीं लेकिन मनुष्य की जिज्ञासा का भी जवाब नहीं। वह उन विषयों को भी जानना चाहता है जिन पर उसका वश नहीं। न जाने कितने रहस्य मनुष्य सुलझा चुका है, कितनों को सुलझाने की प्रक्रिया चल रही है और कितने ही भविष्य के लिए अनसुलझे रह गए हैं। इन चुनौतियों को सुधी मानव सदैव स्वीकार करता रहा है। भाषा के इतिहास को जानना भी किसी चुनौती से कम नहीं है। इसकी उत्पत्ति कैसे हुई इस पर भी विद्वान एकमत नहीं है लेकिन इसके सटीक अध्ययन की परम्परा का नाम भाषा विज्ञान है। इस भाषा विज्ञान का अध्ययन समाज में कब से शुरू हुआ? इसका सही-सही निर्धारण विद्वानों के लिए सरल नहीं। कुछ भाषा विज्ञानी यह दावा करते हैं कि भाषा का वैज्ञानिक अध्ययन इस निश्चित समय से हुआ है, वहीं दूसरे भाषा वैज्ञानिक नई सीमा निर्धारित कर देते हैं। इस समस्या का मानक हल सहज प्राप्त होना सम्भव भी नहीं। प्रस्तुत शोध पत्र भाषा विज्ञान की अध्ययन परम्परा का संक्षिप्त अद्यतन अनुशीलन करने का विनम्र प्रयास है।

Indigenous students speak diverse languages, and many of them are English language learners (ELLs). Research has consistently shown that it takes at least 5–7 years for ELLs to catch up with their English-speaking peers in academic language skills. Inequitable access to learning resources, along with diverse political, socioeconomic, and historical issues, have led to Indigenous students’ persistent academic underachievement, in particular for Indigenous youth in high school, where considerably increased academic language demands in content areas place them at high risk of academic failure and lead to extremely high dropout rates. Technology may enable us to bypass costly infrastructure requirements to develop innovative language interventions, given Indigenous students’ increasing interest in digital technology use. Considering culturally responsive pedagogy, our project aims to develop a content-based literacy intervention using social media for Grade 9–10 Indigenous students. This includes 30 curriculum units we developed integrating the Indigenous tradition of oral storytelling as a springboard to engage students and support their learning of academic vocabulary. These units based on First Nations youth’s stories are aligned with Ontario curriculum in subject content areas. This paper focuses on content development of our instructional design, where we honor “Indigenous ways of knowing.” With a transformative approach to teaching and learning, the project designed to support Indigenous youth’s academic language development aims to go beyond academic success. The school has been proven to be a significant protective measure against adverse factors that lead to the high suicide rate among Indigenous youth. This intervention project capitalizes on technology to promote literacy engagement and overcome the impact of low socioeconomic status and the intergenerational effects of historical trauma that have negatively affected the well-being and academic progress of many Indigenous youth.
The depth of vocabulary search on smartphones among Japanese language learners in China
Authors: Li Yuzhe
Published: September 2024

The use of smartphones for language learning has become commonplace, and with the decline of electronic dictionaries, these devices are now the primary tool for looking up words. Although many studies have highlighted the potential of smartphones to increase student engagement and motivation, some researchers remain concerned about whether this technology promotes more self-directed and effective learning (e.g., Stockwell & Wang, 2024). Observations suggest that while smartphones provide effortless access to information, students may not engage deeply, often only skimming the surface. Are these observations accurate? This paper examines students' word searches on smartphones, analyzing recorded data to explore how students use their devices for word searches, the depth of their searches, and the factors that influence that depth. These explorations are intended to help teachers better understand the students in front of them, and thus reflect on the useful integration of technology in the classroom.

Authors: Tran Lam-Oanh , Chang Jo-Ling , Hung Hsiu-Ting
Published: September 2024

The rise of Augmented Reality (AR) has provided second language (L2) educators and learners with new pathways for teaching and learning, leading researchers to investigate its impact in the field of technology-enhanced language learning (TELL). The current study adopted a systematic review methodology to synthesize AR research in TELL contexts in terms of educational technology features and language acquisition results. Three academic databases (i.e., Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect) were accessed, and two predefined sets of search terms about AR and language learning, respectively, were used to retrieve relevant studies for this review. Following the screening with a predetermined set of inclusion criteria, 42 empirical articles published in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) or Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) journals in the past 15 years were identified. The included studies were then systematically analyzed using a coding scheme developed in this review, and the results were presented under the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Major findings revealed that: (1) Handheld displays or smartphones were the most popular devices for enabling image or marker-based AR technology via various software, and such applications are frequently used for AR-enhanced content presentation, AR gaming, and AR-integrated learning tutorial in support of L2 learning. (2) The majority of the reviewed studies showed promising outcomes of AR use in TELL contexts, with improved vocabulary acquisition being the most frequently reported benefit, whereas several aspects of language acquisition remained under-explored. Based on the review results, several suggestions for applying AR in L2 education are discussed to help TELL educators with their future practices.
Connecting the dots: Examining the relationship between language proficiency and digital literacy of EMI university students
Authors: Xia Ling (Angela) , Zhang Xiaojun
Published: September 2024

Transitioning to university can be both exhilarating and daunting for first-year college students, especially those entering an English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) university where academic activities are conducted in their second language. The challenges faced by these students are intricate and varied. While existing literature has explored the digital literacy of undergraduates and their impact on academic success, there is a scarcity of studies focusing on students in EMI institutions. More importantly, digital literacy, which is mostly about proficiency in digital skills, is crucial for students' computer-assisted language learning experiences, as it enables students to effectively engage with online language learning platforms, access educational resources, collaborate with peers virtually, and enhance their language acquisition process through interactive multimedia tools. This study delves into the understanding of digital literacy of 1742 new first-year students at a Chinese EMI university in East China. Students' responses to an online survey were collected so that there could be an enhanced understanding of their digital device ownership, beliefs, attitudes towards technology, and overall digital competency. Furthermore, the research investigates the correlation between students' English proficiency levels and their digital skill sets. The results reveal that students with prior EMI exposure in high school and higher English proficiency demonstrate significantly enhanced digital skills. The findings underscore the importance of English proficiency in shaping students' digital literacy levels. They highlight the need for tailored institutional support at EMI universities to bridge the gap between language proficiency and technological competence, ultimately fostering a conducive language learning environment for these students.

A critical thinking-oriented approach in English as a foreign language (EFL) writing: Using ChatGPT as an ideal peer
Authors: Xue Yin
Published: September 2024

The present research reports on the effects of an AI-assisted critical thinking-oriented writing intervention supported with ChatGPT in EFL writing. AI-assisted Brainstorming Worksheets and AI-assisted Peer-review Checklists were provided to scaffold the writing process. This study employs a mixed-method approach, including pre- and post-tests with argumentative writing assessments and semi-structured interviews, involving 60 Chinese EFL learners at the CEFR intermediate (B1 to B2) level. Before the study, a pre-test was conducted to write an IELTS argumentative essay with a non-AI-supported CT-oriented approach scaffolded by peers. A post-test using an AI-assisted CT-oriented process scaffolded by ChatGPT (a virtual peer) was conducted immediately after the one-semester intervention. As a means of mitigating bias, two lecturers independently assessed the pre- and post-writing samples. Regarding data analysis, a t-test was employed to assess the variations in the participants' writing proficiency. The writing tests were measured in nine aspects in terms of a subject-specific thinking perspective, i.e., clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, significance, and fairness. In addition, six qualitative interviews were conducted after the intervention to explore the benefits and drawbacks of implementing ChatGPT in CT-oriented writing compared to the conventional approach. For quantitative results, the intervention saw significant improvements in the students’ critical thinking reflected in writing. For qualitative results, how ChatGPT affected EFL learners’ CT-oriented writing was reported in five main aspects: in-depth CT concept understanding, model discourse with CT elements, information and feedback, logic, and Ai interaction. This study demonstrates how ChatGPT can be applied to scaffold CT-oriented writing training for EFL learners. The findings also offer insights into further research and development in AI tools for EFL writing practices.

Authors: Öztürk Fatih , Tuğan Abdullah Gökhan
Published: September 2024

One of the earliest Christian texts, Recognitions of Clement has a highly important place within the Western literature. A work with many questions as to its certain date and author, it is often accepted to be written in the third or fourth century by one Clement, most probably Pope Clement I. In terms of genre, too, the work has aroused some suspicions. Although it is generally taken as a novel, it comprises enough elements to be handled as a piece of romance. As one of the basic components of romance, physical and spiritual quest is a core issue in Recognitions. Furthermore, the concept of love, as an element of romance, has a central role in the story. This article aims to bring a new approach to Recognitions of Clement as a work of romance. By displaying its similarities to one of the romances of the time, Apollonius of Tyre, it is meant to prove Recognitions as a romance through the concepts of quest and love.

Ornamental chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) belongs to the Solanaceae family and is highly popular for its aesthetic value. Ornamental chilli plants are edible, with attractive plant architecture and fruit shapes, as well as varying levels of spiciness. The most preferred traits in ornamental chilli plants include compact size (suitable for potted plants), diverse and unique fruit shapes and colors, and upright fruit orientation. This study aims to investigate the morphological diversity in the F1 generation resulting from a single cross-hybridization between two ornamental chilli varieties, namely the Medusa Pepper, known for its compact growth habit, and the Black Pearl Pepper, characterized by purple-coloured fruits and leaves. Analysis of the qualitative data shows that the F1 generation shares a high degree of morphological similarity with the female parent, Black Pearl Pepper, with a similarity value exceeding 75%, while it exhibits no significant resemblance to the male parent, Medusa Pepper, with a similarity value of 0%. The F1 generation from the single cross demonstrates limited morphological variation, with all observed traits being largely influenced by dominant characteristics, including fruit color, plant habit, and leaf color.

Authors: Trisninawati Trisninawati , Sartika Dewi
Published: September 2024

Women in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) often need help marketing their products or services, including limited access to resources for promotion and distribution. Restricted accessibility and a lack of understanding of digital technology are significant barriers limiting their marketing potential. Digital literacy becomes a crucial element that can change the paradigm and open opportunities for women MSMEs to overcome these challenges. This study aims to understand the experiences and skills of women MSMEs in applying digital literacy and propose a community-based education model to enhance marketing capabilities. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. A total of 15 informants from the MSME community members of the Indonesian Muslim Entrepreneurs Association (IPMI) Palembang were selected based on inclusion criteria, including experience in the MSME business, a minimum education level of high school, and active involvement in marketing activities. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with an interview guide covering themes of digital literacy and marketing skills. Most respondents have a low level of digital literacy and limitations in using digital technology for business. The main challenges faced are difficulties adapting to digital technology and concerns about digital security. Most respondents still rely on conventional marketing methods and feel less confident managing digital marketing campaigns. Digital literacy and marketing skills remain significant challenges for women MSMEs in Palembang. A community-based education model is needed to overcome these obstacles, including digital literacy workshops, mentor-mentee programs, experience-sharing sessions, and specific skills training.
