Foliar Application of Micronutrients and Low Molecular Weight Polysaccharides on White Radish Grown in Impoverished Soil
Authors: Tran Minh Quynh , Nguyen The Anh , Le Thi Minh Luong , Nguyen Van Binh
Published: February 2024

Foliar application has been considered as the most effective way to supplement nutrients for crops. Besides macro- and micro-nutrients, foliar fertilizers should contain surfactants to wet plant leaves, and other adjuvants to control spray and prolong the retention time of nutrients on the leaf surface. Having diverse structures and properties, some polysaccharides can not only be used as drift control or adhesion agents to improve performance on the leaf and reduce washout of agrochemicals by rainwater, but also be utilized as plant growth promoters (PGP) or immuno-stimulating agents in agricultural production. In this study, low molecular weight chitosan and xanthan obtained by radiation degradation have been added to the microelement fertilizers to control diseases, promote the growth and development of vegetables, and further increase their nutrient uptake. Field trials on white radishes grown on impoverished soil revealed that the resulting foliar fertilizers significantly reduced the infection of popular pests and diseases, remarkably promoted the growth and development of the radish plants. The yield attributes and marketable yield of radish from all treatments were much higher than those of the control. The highest yields were 61.99 and 64.94 tons per ha in season 2019 and 2020, respectively, in the plants treated with the fertilizer containing both chitosan and xanthan. These results suggest that the fertilizer composed of micronutrients and low molecular weight chitosan and xanthan could be applied for better vegetable crops.

Published: February 2024

In the Nambo Plain, the monitoring data on dynamics and quality of groundwater has shown declining signs in quantity and quality both in the existing groundwater aquifers, and the exploitation of groundwater in recent time is believed to be a cause of this decline. That shows the need for further research, especially on the modern recharge ability of the existing groundwater aquifers, to re-evaluate the groundwater potential of the region. For that purpose, isotope techniques are applied to evaluate the recharge ability of the upper Pleistocene aquifer, an important source of water supply in rural areas in the Nambo Plain.

In this study, groundwater, river water and rainwater samples were collected and analyzed for stable isotope composition, tritium, radiocarbon  and major hydro-chemical parameters. Data on stable isotope composition in groundwater are used to define the origin of groundwater while tritium and 14C content are used to determine groundwater age and to predict the aquifer’s recharge zone; and in combining with the stable isotope composition and tritium content of river water to evaluate the dynamic relationship between river water and groundwater.

The obtained results show that: i) Groundwater in the study aquifer is originated from meteorological water and formed at different stages. ii) The high 3H and 14C content in some groundwater samples indicate that the aquifer has modern rainwater infiltrated as a recharge source. iii) The similarity of stable isotope composition in the Vam Co river water and groundwater adjacent to the river shows that there is a hydraulic relationship between them. This is an important basis for assessing the recharge ability to the qp3 aquifer of the Vam Co river water.

Published: February 2024

The newly-developed cosmic-ray method for measuring area-average soil moisture at the hectometer horizontal scale is being implemented in the COsmic-ray Soil Moisture  Observing  System  (or  the  COSMOS). The  stationary cosmic-ray  soil  moisture  probe  measures  the  neutrons  that are generated by cosmic rays (or Cosmic-Ray Neutron Sensing-CRNS) within air and soil and other materials, moderated by mainly hydrogen atoms located primarily  in  soil  water,  and  emitted  to  the  atmosphere where they mix instantaneously at a scale of hundreds of meters and whose density is inversely correlated with soil moisture. The CRNS technique has been known for more than 10 years and validated by many scientific publications in the world. In Vietnam, a country greatly affected by global climate change, this is the first time this technique has been implemented and applied. Together with other traditional methods for soil moisture determination such as point measurement and remote sensing, CRNS technique will effectively contribute to the real-time monitoring of drought, prediction of flash floods and landslides, or planning irrigation in smart agriculture. This paper is written to introduce the results of the COSMOS-VINATOM project of the Ministry of Science and Technology. We describe the cosmic-ray soil moisture measurement method and the design of a specific COSMOS using advanced technologies in neutron and muon detector, signal processing and data transmission.This system has also been tested in the field in Xuan Canh commune, Dong Anh district, Hanoi, Vietnam with initial positive results.

Red brick is one of the building materials used to make building walls. Red bricks are made from clay and can be mixed using additives. The use of clay has the most composition in the red brick mixture. Adding addictive materials is an effort that many researchers have made to improve the quality of red bricks. In this study, researchers were interested in using carrageenan as a mixture of red bricks. The research was carried out experimentally in the laboratory by making brick samples measuring 5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm with various mixtures of BMC (control), BMK5 with the addition of 5% carrageenan, BMK10 with the addition of 10% carrageenan, and BMK15 with the addition of 15% carrageenan with drying temperature 50°C, 100°C, and 150°C for 24 hours.Research data was obtained through an experimental process of testing the compressive strength of red bricks using a compression test equipment. The data obtained was processed to obtain the compressive strength value of the red brick. The results showed that addition of 5% of the carrageenan mixture had an effect on the compressive strength of the red brick. Addition of 5% carrageenan contributed to the increase in the compressive strength of the red brick. There was a decrease in the compressive strength of the red brick in the sample with the percentage of addition carrageenan by 10% and 15 %. The ideal drying temperature for a mixture of red bricks with carrageenan is at 50℃ for 24 hours.

Iris Liveness Detection using Fusion of Thepade SBTC and Triangle Thresholding Features with Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: D. Thepade Sudeep , R. Wagh Lomesh
Published: February 2024

Conventional security systems are often plagued by inherent flaws, leading to frequent security breaches. To address these vulnerabilities, automated biometric systems have emerged, leveraging individuals' physiological and behavioural traits for precise identification. Among these biometric modalities, iris-based authentication is a highly reliable, distinctive, and contactless method for user recognition. This research endeavours to enhance the accuracy of iris liveness detection by combining features extracted from the TSBTC n-Ary (Thepade’s Sorted Block Truncation Coding) method with those derived from the Triangle Thresholding method. Two distinct datasets, namely IIIT Delhi and Clarkson 2015, have been employed to evaluate the efficacy of these combined features. The study involves extracting features from three sources: TSBTC, TSBTC+Triangle, and Triangle methods. These features are subsequently input into the WEKA tool, which employs various classifiers to assess accuracy. The findings of this investigation reveal a notable increase in the accuracy of Iris Liveness Detection (ILD) by incorporating handcrafted techniques like TSBTC in conjunction with the Thresholding method. In essence, this research underscores the potential for improving the robustness of security systems by harnessing the synergy of distinct biometric methods, thereby mitigating the shortcomings of conventional security systems and fortifying the foundations of secure user authentication.
ARABIC SOFT SPELLING CORRECTION WITH T5
Authors: Jaafar Ola , Qaraghuli Mohammed
Published: February 2024

Spelling correction is considered a challenging task for resource-scarce languages. The Arabic language is one of these resource-scarce languages, which suffers from the absence of a large spelling correction dataset, thus datasets injected with artificial errors are used to overcome this problem. In this paper, we trained the Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer (T5) model using artificial errors to correct Arabic soft spelling mistakes. Our T5 model can correct 97.8% of the artificial errors that were injected into the test set. Additionally, our T5 model achieves a character error rate (CER) of 0.77% on a set that contains real soft spelling mistakes. We achieved these results using a 4-layer T5 model trained with a 90% error injection rate, with a maximum sequence length of 300 characters.
Aemilia Lepida and the imago of Pompey. Female agency and the negotiation of public space in early imperial Rome
Authors: Brännstedt Lovisa
Published: February 2024

In 20 CE, Aemilia Lepida was tried before the senatorial court. When the court recessed for a holiday, she rallied support by referring to her Pompeian ancestry, choosing as her venue the theatre built by her great-grandfather Pompey himself. Accompanied by a group of fellow elite women (clarae feminae), Lepida entered the theatre and invoked the imagines of her great ancestor with tearful lamentations. Based on a close reading of Tacitus’ Annales 3.22, this article focuses on his descriptions of the strategies Lepida adopted and discusses how she used her connection to Pompey to support her case and argue that the physical setting of Lepida’s appeal to the people contributed to its meaning and that she in essences was asking for a trial by the public opinion. It will demonstrate how women could use their agency in negotiating public space, with a sensitivity to social conventions of the Roman imperial elite.
Female Portrait Statuary in Roman-period Athens: the epigraphic and sculptural evidence
Authors: Dillon Sheila
Published: February 2024

Female portrait statuary forms a large and important category of evidence for understanding the historical phenomenon of the visual representation and commemoration of women in the public spaces of the Greek city. With its rich body of both epigraphical and sculptural remains, the city of Athens is a particularly fruitful site to undertake such a study. While portraits of women begin to be set up in Athens in the early fourth century B.C., the chronological focus here is the Roman Imperial period, when inscribed bases for statues of women and marble sculpture representing female portrait subjects are the most abundant. I consider epigraphical evidence in the form of inscribed statue bases. The main sculptural evidence comes from the American excavations in the Athenian Agora. While a great deal of important research has focused on the epigraphic evidence, particularly from the Acropolis, this article analyzes and puts into conversation both strands of this extensive corpus of material.

Etnologin och det förflutna
Authors: Vallström Maria , Lennartsson Rebecka
Published: February 2024

How do ethnologists use historical sources? Do we, as some historians suggests, write without necessary context and just pick the raisins out of the cake, so to speak? Or, on the other hand, is there a risk in being so absorbed with the thickness of context that historians lose sight of what really matters? This has been expressed by Nietschze in a famous sentence where historians can tell everything about the barn in Betlehem, but forget about the person in the center of the scene. The authors suggests that ethnologists are good at finding relevant problems in society today, but in tracing them in history, or when we write history “for its own sake”, we need to consider context, anachronisms and empirical thickness more. That way ethnology can combine the advantages with a micro perspective and high credibility and make history that is both durable and highly topical. With the political developments we face today, ethnology is more than ever needed to complicate the past, to lift voices of the unheard and to persistently write our heterogeneous history.
Livsviktig historia?
Authors: Vallström Mikael
Published: February 2024

With a voluminous newspaper material from the 1930s and contemporary life story interviews as starting-point the article discusses how ethnology can handle existential issues. The discussion especially concerns parallels between societal crisis of today and of the 1930s. By making a distinction between “the history we are living and a part of ” (die Geschichte) and “the history we are writing” (die Historie), the aim is to point out a possibility to develop a criticism of historiography, and an “unhistorical” methodology “for life”. These concepts originate from Nietzsche’s (1874/1998) statement that historicism is a threat to life itself. To make it possible to found a method that deals with existential issues raised by traces and heritages from the past, and that also is able to maintain conditions for life, the article argues for an analysis paying attention to the variability, openness and dialogic nature of historical material. Furthermore, this kind of attention is regarded as a crucial political and democratic task for ethnology.
Samisk kamp för kulturell överlevnad
Authors: Liliequist Marianne , Cocq Coppélie
Published: February 2024

This special issue focuses on the Sami struggle for cultural survival. The articles deal with strategies and initiatives going on in Sápmi today during a time of threats and challenges - a time that is also marked by resistance and mobilization. During the fall of 2013, the Swedish government has been criticized both by the United Nations’ Committee on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination, and by the Swedish Discrimination Ombudsman for its actions against the Sami population. The UN criticism was directed against a planned mine in Rönnbäcken, in the region of Västerbotten. Exploitation in Northern Sweden, not least the mining boom, is among of the biggest challenges in Sápmi today. Sami identity markers such as reindeer herding, land, language and oral traditions are examples of expressions that are highlighted in the battle to claim rights to land and water, to language, and to participation in decision making.
Varför ska dom få?
Authors: J:son Lönn Eva
Published: February 2024

Due to increased racism many Swedish news sites have adopted new strategies to deal with offensive user comments, such as pre-moderation of comments and more strict moderation policies. Despite this many Sami still perceive that hostile comments about Sami continue to increase on news sites. In this article I discuss possible reasons to why racist comments slip by newspaper gatekeepers. Everyday racism, that is subtle forms of discrimination, often presented as neutral or commonsense facts or as collectively shared and therefore unchallenged racial stereotypes, is seen as one key factor. Others factors could be journalists’ lack of knowledge about Sami history and culture, newsrooms lack of time and resources, journalistic routines and/or reader comments commercial potential.

Opracowanie w popularyzatorskiej formule przedstawia życie i dzieło Ferdynanda Goetla, pisarza i publicysty, prezesa Polskiego Oddziału PEN Clubu (1926–1933) i Związku Zawodowego Literatów Polskich (1932–1939) oraz członka Polskiej Akademii Literatury (1936–1939), podczas niemieckiej okupacji organizatora pomocy dla środowiska literackiego, współredaktora konspiracyjnego „Nurtu”, a także uczestnika pierwszej polskiej delegacji na miejsce zbrodni w Katyniu (1943), po drugiej wojnie światowej niezłomnego emigranta w Londynie, którego postać i twórczość w okresie PRL zostały objęte całkowitym zakazem cenzury. Pierwsza część przedstawia skomplikowane losy twórcy w kilku epokach literackich: młodopolskie początki, pisarski sukces odniesiony w dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym, okres wojny i okupacji oraz powojenne lata przeżyte na wygnaniu. Druga część prezentuje – w uporządkowany sposób i w możliwie całościowym ujęciu – bogatą twórczość pisarza. Zawiera omówienie jego dzieł, szerzej rozwijając interpretację utworów zamieszczonych w antologii, na które składają się: dwa fragmenty „wrażeń z podróży” Przez płonący Wschód, trzy opowiadania (Ludzkość z lat międzywojennych, Zemsta i Dzieci nie płaczą z okresu emigracyjnego), dwa rozdziały z pamiętnika Czasy wojny (w tym sprawozdanie z wyjazdu do Katynia) oraz fragment nieukończonej powieści Samotność.
Polskość łacińska
Authors: Garbol Tomasz
Published: February 2024

Rozprawa jest omówieniem twórczości literackiej Karola Wojtyły oraz Tryptyku rzymskiego Jana Pawła II, jedynego jego poematu, który powstał w latach sprawowania urzędu papieskiego. W opracowaniu uwzględniono zarówno poezję, jak i twórczość dramatyczną. Jako konteksty interpretacyjne przywołano korespondencję oraz wypowiedzi doktrynalne i duszpasterskie papieża, między innymi encykliki i homilie. W funkcji zagadnień tematyzujących całość rozważań zostały zaproponowane: prymat ducha nad materią jako jedna z najważniejszych zasad cywilizacji łacińskiej, nawrócenie jako najważniejsze doświadczenie egzystencjalne i religijne uobecnione w utworach literackich Karola Wojtyły oraz stosunek do nowoczesności będącej wyzwaniem dla poszczególnych ludzi wierzących i wspólnoty Kościoła. Umieszczona w tytule rozprawy formuła „polskość łacińska” pochodząca z listu dziewiętnastoletniego Wojtyły do nauczyciela i przyjaciela, Mieczysława Kotlarczyka, stanowi zasadniczą ramę interpretacyjną przeprowadzonych analiz. Twórczość autora Tryptyku rzymskiego jest tutaj rozpoznana jako zakorzeniona w tradycji łacińskiej. To zakorzenienie uwidocznia się w sposobie rozumienia podstawowych pojęć i zagadnień, na przykład Boga, człowieka, wspólnot religijnej i politycznej, a także dziejów narodu i państwa polskiego oraz Kościoła i świata. Przywiązanie do tradycji łacińskiej ujawnia się również na poziomie języka i obrazowania poetyckiego – w doborze motywów, cytatów, porównań czy tradycji interpretowania tekstów biblijnych. Interpretacje jednego juwenilnego sonetu, dwóch poematów oraz fragmentu dramatu uzupełniające całość rozważań wskazują na trwałość i artystyczną płodność zakorzenienia tej twórczości w tradycji łacińskiej.
Medieval Origins of the “Jagiellonian Idea” and Its International Contexts
Authors: Smołucha Janusz
Published: February 2024

The purpose of the article is to show the genesis of the “Jagiellonian idea,” which the author links to the political and social changes in medieval Poland of the Piast era. Ecclesiastical law, which was associated with close relations with the Holy See and Rome, exerted a great influence on the formation of the state system of that time. Under the influence of these ties, the social system in Poland took shape somewhat differently than in other regions of Europe that were dominated by absolutism and had autocratic rulers. Under the law of the time, all members of society, despite class differences, were bound by the same ethical and moral principles. After the Jagiellonians took over the reign, the system evolved into a mixed monarchy, in which power was shared by three parliamentary branches: the king, the senate and the chamber of deputies.

Background: Postpartum family planning is vital in the prevention of unintended pregnancy and closely spaced pregnancies in the first year post-delivery. This study was designed to examine the postpartum women’s knowledge, attitude, belief and readiness to contraceptive use.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the postnatal clinic of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria using an interviewer-assisted structured questionnaire among one hundred and ninety-four consenting recently delivered women. Data was analysed using IBM Statistics for Windows Version 23.0. Tests of association was done using chi-square and statistical significance was set at p-value of < 0.05.

Results: Many of the respondents (60.8%) were in the age group 30-39 years and the majority (90.3%) had tertiary level of education. Most of the respondents got their information from health talks at antenatal clinic (42.8%) and health workers (42.3%). The majority (82.5%) of respondents were aware of contraception and 157(80.9%) intended to use contraceptives, however, only 54(34.4%) were willing to adopt a method at the postnatal clinic visit. The most preferred contraceptive methods were implants (23.4%). Respondents with three or more children alive(p=0.001), had statistically significant associations with prior use of contraception while those with the tertiary level of education(p=0.001) and of the Christian religion (p=<0.001) had statistically significant associations with good knowledge of contraception. 

Conclusion:  The knowledge and readiness to use contraceptives was high but only about half were willing to adopt a method at the postnatal clinic. Robust prenatal counselling may help to increase the uptake of postpartum contraception.

The edge warpage of a Ti-6Al-4V ripple disc is a major forming defect during electric hot incremental forming, which can lead to a significant dimensional error. In this paper, a novel manufacturing method, namely the combination of electric hot incremental forming and electrically assisted sizing, has been proposed to improve the forming defect. The effect of process parameters on forming fracture was analysed in detail, and then an optimal combination of process parameters was obtained to ensure the successful forming of a Ti-6Al-4V ripple disc. On this basis, a sizing device and a sizing current were separately designed and analysed to eliminate the warpage defect of Ti-6Al-4V ripple discs. According to the experimental result, Ti-6Al-4V ripple discs can be satisfactorily fabricated through the method proposed.
Investigation on the Application of Worn Cutting Tool Inserts as Burnishing Tools
Authors: Adıyaman Oktay
Published: February 2024

The amount of wear in cutting tools used in all machining processes is around 1 % to 2 % evaluation of the non-wearing areas of the inserts is economically beneficial. This study aims to test the usability of the non-wearing regions of the waste tungsten carbide (WC), cubic boron nitride (CBN) and ceramic inserts as a rolling tool in the deep rolling method and to observe their performance. The turned workpieces were deep rolled with three different types of waste-cutting tools (WC, CBN and ceramic) in different machining parameters (rolling force, number of passes, and feed rate). As a result, surface roughness and microhardness values obtained in deep rolling operations with these inserts were similar to those in deep rolling operations with other rolling tools. It has been determined that ceramic inserts perform better in deep rolling processes in terms of microhardness, and WC inserts perform better in terms of surface roughness. Thus, it has been determined that waste WC, CBN and ceramic inserts can be used in the deep rolling method.
The Danse Macabre of “Democratic Dictatorship”: Sławomir Mrožek’s Tango in State-Socialist Hungary
Authors: Kékesi Kun Árpád
Published: February 2024

Sławomir Mrožek’s Tango was first staged in a professional theatre in Hungary with considerable delay. The production opened in Szolnok in 1978, thirteen years after the world premiere of the play in Warsaw. “Mrožek had not been allowed to get onto our stages for years,” wrote Grácia Kerényi, the Hungarian translator of Tango, with surprising openness in 1978, thus highlighting the discredited status of the play in the cultural policy of the Kádár regime. However, it is a mistake that the premiere in Szolnok in 1978 was the national premiere of Tango, even if it was advertised as such on the playbill. Mrožek’s three-act play already had some production history on Hungarian stages, as it had been presented to audiences on several occasions before. Therefore, we cannot talk about a national premiere in the case of the production in Szolnok, but only about the first fully staged performance of the play in a professional theatre in Hungary. But this production still lives strongly in cultural memory. The essay outlines the reasons for this high status and analyses István Paál’s mise-en-scène according to the so-called Philther method.
Utilization of Artificial Neural Network in Rice Plant Disease Classification Using Leaf Image
Authors: Sunandar Nandi , Sutopo Joko
Published: February 2024

Rice is the name of the type of plant that is needed by humans in the world. The plant is used as the main source of energy by Most people in the world, especially on the Asian continent. The importance of rice plants makes rice widely planted in various regions. Most humans use rice as a staple crop. Therefore, rice production needs to be considered to meet the need for enough food for most people in the world. The main thing that needs to be considered in maximizing rice production is that when guarding rice plants, many factors that inhibit rice plants can be the cause of food crises in various regions. Therefore, the care of rice production needs to be considered. In addition to the lack of nutrients in water and soil in decreasing rice production, plant diseases also need to be considered. Some types of diseases that often attack rice plants include bacterial leaf blight, brown spots, and left smut. Therefore, there is knowledge of prevention efforts or early treatment before the disease attacks rice plants more widely. The efficacy of technology can be used in solving this problem, we can take advantage of artificial intelligence in it. Artificial intelligence is implemented for the detection of types of diseases in rice plants using image images on the leaves of rice plants. If the disease in rice plants can be detected, it will make it easier for rice plant farmers to overcome the disease. The ANN (Artificial neural network) algorithm can be used in this problem from the results of research on identifying the type of rice disease using the algorithm obtained an accuracy of 83%. This shows the ability of artificial intelligence in disease identification can help farmers detect types of diseases.
