Crop productivity in canal command areas of India is declining due to waterlogging and soil salinization problems, and it is posing a big threat to livelihood security of small and marginal farmers. Subsurface drainage (SSD) technology, which restores favourable condition in the crop root zone by reclaiming waterlogged saline soils, can be one of the options to restore the crop productivity in such areas. The SSD system was installed at Mulad village in the Ukai Kakrapar canal command area, Gujarat, in the year 2012 to address the problem of drastic yield reduction of sugarcane due to twin problems of waterlogging and soil salinity in Vertisols. It was found that the SSD helped in desalination of soil profile as soil electrical conductivity was reduced to a range of 0.42 to 3.90 dS.m-1 from its initial range of 1.2 to 7.3 dS.m-1. Electrical conductivity of drained water was in the range of 1.3 to 4.4 dS.m-1. Further, there was reduction in waterlogging condition, both surface and sub-surface, as water table lowered below crop root zone depth (depth of 0.6 m) and surface water ponding duration reduced to 6-8 days from earlier 25-30 days during peak monsoon days. Overall performance of SSD system was satisfactory as average sugarcane yield in the study area increased significantly from 39.29 to 97.29 t.ha-1 as result of reduction in soil salinity and waterlogging in drainage area. Economic analysis also indicated 114% increase in benefit-cost ratio after SSD installation. Thus, large scale installation of SSD system for reclamation of waterlogged saline Vertisols is economically viable in the state of Gujarat.

Authors: S. Murali  , Abhijit Kar  , Avinash Singh Patel
Published: June 2023

An attempt was made to optimize the encapsulation of rice bran oil using tapioca starchwhey protein isolate matrix as wall material by spray drying technique. The selected independent variables for optimization were oil concentration (20, 25, 30 %), wall material starch-protein ratio (1:1, 3:1, 5:1) and drying inlet air temperature (140, 150, 160 ºC). Encapsulated rice bran oil powder was evaluated for encapsulation efficiency, peroxide value, and gamma oryzanol content. Optimization of the process conditions was carried by model fitting technique of response surface methodology using Design Expert Software. The results indicated that 20 % oil concentration, 2.2:1 starch-protein ratio, and 140°C drying inlet air temperature are optimum to obtain maximum of 79.52 % encapsulation efficiency, 12,390 ppm gamma oryzanol content, and minimum of 1.52 meq. kg-1 of peroxide value. Analysis of encapsulated powder for size and shape indicated that 90 % of the particles were below 21 μm size having spherical shape with smooth surface.

Published: June 2023

Water and nutrients are two important inputs for growing crops. High cost and increasing scarcity call for judicious use of these inputs to reduce losses. In this context, a field experiment was conducted during summer seasons of 2014-15 to 2016-17 in tropical semi-humid climate of coastal region of Maharashtra to evaluate the response of okra (Abemoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) to three irrigation regimes (100 % ETcrop, 80 % ETcrop, and 60% ETcrop) with drip irrigation in conjunction with three crop spacing (1200- 450x 450 mm, 1200-450x 300 mm, 1200-450x 150 mm) to suit the lateral spacing of 1.2m, and three fertilization methods (ring method, briquette application and fertigation). Results were compared with the conventional method of irrigation and fertilizer application (control). Total water demand of okra was 326.7mm, with maximum one-day crop evapotranspiration of 4.0 mm.day-1. Treatment combination with 80 % ETcrop drip irrigation, 1200-450x150 mm crop spacing, and drip fertigation increased the pod yield by 102.6 % with water saving of 60.9 % over control. Water application of 280.3 mm was optimum to achieve maximum crop yield (16.97 t.ha-1) in Konkan region. Water use-efficiency increased from 11.24 kg.ha-1.mm-1 to 60.32 kg.ha-1.mm-1 with this water application. The treatment resulted in economic water productivity of 242 `.m-3, which was about five times higher over the control treatment.

Published: June 2023

O presente trabalho é o resultado de uma pesquisa de campo referenciada em pressupostos teóricos relacionados à gestão escolar do campo, e por sua vez, nosso objeto de estudo retrata a realidade vivenciada por este tipo de gestão. Para tanto, tomamos como referência para análise a escola Municipal Arnaldo Tavares, situada na zona rural do município de Sumé/PB, cujo sistema de ensino se faz em salas multisseriadas e a professora acumula também a função de gestora. A análise do trabalho se baseia em coletas de dados presenciais em sala de aula, bem como na entrevista com a própria professora. Neste sentido, é elencada uma série de problemas que as escolas do campo hoje enfrentam. Tais como: falta de uma equipe de gestão escolar, com diretores, secretários e coordenação pedagógica das escolas, o que impossibilita que tenha mais tempo para as tarefas especifica da docência, como: planejamento, elaboração de material didático e acompanhamento individualizado. O pouco espaço físico e mal utilizado nas escolas com salas multisseriadas recebem alunos de faixa etária diferentes, ocasionando dispersões e pouca concentração da turma etc. O trabalho está dividido em três capítulos que apresentam os objetivos, descrição do campo da pesquisa, embasamentos teóricos relacionados com as análises do material pesquisado e os resultados obtidos. Consideramos que este trabalho traz contribuições para refletir sobre a gestão escolar do campo considerando a qualidade das turmas multisseriadas.

Este trabalho tem como finalidade investigar a contribuição da formação para a organização das mulheres pescadoras do Município de Sumé - PB. A abordagem qualitativa numa perspectiva de pesquisa participante orientou toda a fundamentação teórica e metodológica dos caminhos que percorremos para compreender nosso objeto, e ao mesmo tempo exercitarmos o “estranhamento” devido a familiaridade com a temática pelo fato de também ser pescadora. Na primeira fase realizamos um estudo exploratório que nos possibilitou a discussão com o grupo sobre o projeto e um maior delineamento dos objetivos e contato com as fontes documentais. Na segunda fase a realização da observação, das entrevistas e dos registros no caderno de campo nos suscitou a necessidade de revisão da literatura para aprofundamento das categorias e conceitos. Com o resultado verificamos iniciais de organização, escassez de registros sobre os pescadores organizativos e formativos e as mudanças que estão acontecendo com a visibilidade que o trabalho das mulheres começa a assumir na dimensão organizativa e produtiva. Estes achados nos possibilitou perceber o entrelaçamento entre organização, produção formação na redefinição do papel das mulheres na pesca e conseqüentemente na redefinição de sua identidade de mulher de pescador para trabalhadora da pesca.

Ghettoising the Elite: Analysing Class Divide and Social Status in DHA YouTube Adverts
Authors: Aniqua Munawar  , Rafida Nawaz  , Muhammad Kamran Fiaz
Published: June 2023

In growing consumerist societies, advertising is one of the strongest tools the postmodern age has produced for controlling and manipulating the masses. This study aims at revealing the ideologies embedded in a purposively-selected sample of two YouTube adverts of the Defence Housing Authority in Multan and Bahawalpur. Employing as groundwork Foucault's theory of discourse contributing to social change and actively interpellating its consumer, this study conducts a multimodal critical discourse analysis of the selected ads. The textual and visual analysis showed that the selected adverts are fraught with cultural and social ideologies prevalent in South Punjab and Pakistan. By using various semiotic resources, the adverts purposely perpetuate a traditional patriarchal family structure, a system of class division and status privilege by excluding people from the lower classes, naturalising an elitist narrative, and associating happiness with wealth and riches. By putting forth the idealised and glamorised images of wealth, they instil in the audience an urge to achieve such a life. In doing so, the adverts construct their potential customers and contribute to maintaining the status-quo.

Co-operation transcends difference: Reflections on therapeutic work involving a gay male client and a heterosexual female therapist
Authors: Cedro Karin , Milton Martin
Published: June 2023

A case study drawn from therapeutic practice is presented in which the therapist is a White heterosexual woman and the client an Hispanic gay man. Principles of therapeutic practice with gay (and lesbian) clients are examined through reflections on this case. Key issues included the pros and cons of matching clients and therapists on the basis of their sexualities; the impact of negative, stereotypical and religion-based views of gay sexuality; the range of issues that may need to be addressed in therapy with gay (and lesbian) clients; and the management of multiple identity positions. The co-operative and collaborative nature of the therapy is emphasised and is particularly reflected in how the ending of the therapy was handled.

Polyparents having children, raising children, schooling children
Authors: Pallotta-Chiarolli Maria
Published: June 2023

Through the use of both quantitative and qualitative data from Australian and US research, this paper is an initial exploration of polyamorous parenting, particularly in relation to schooling and negotiating the implications of heteronormative monogamy on their children’s lives. The paper calls for more research and support of polyamorous families as these families are still largely invisible and falling ‘between the cracks’ of heteronormative monogamous nuclear families and the increasingly visible lesbian and gay families.
Migrant men: Managing gay and European identities in London
Authors: Bagnara Nick Gian
Published: June 2023

London and its multicultural arena provide the socio-geographical niche for the qualitative analysis of identity processes. In this report I explore the psychological strategies adopted by migrant gay men to manage multiple identities. Grounded theory was used to discover dominant themes emerging from respondents’ narratives about the interplay between European, national, migrant and gay identities. My analysis suggests that multiple identities are managed as a form of resistance against the oppression inflicted by mainstream heteronormative structures. The ‘self in action’, the major emergent theme, downplays fixed identities, chooses amongst the available social scripts, and strives to generate new forms of cultural and social capital. Despite a favourable socio-political climate, respondents’ narratives reflect the crisis of the London gay community in providing ‘positive gay visibilities’ that go beyond the commercial scene. The implications of multiple identities for research, as well as the risks involved with qualitative analysis of small samples, are also discussed.
History of LGBT issues and psychology in Colombia
Authors: Ardila Ruben
Published: June 2023

This article presents the development of the rights movement for the LGBT population in Colombia within the international context. As part of the Latin-American tradition and Spanish heritage, the behaviour and attitude towards sexuality in general and towards homosexuality in particular, were very conservative in the country. The beginning of the gay liberation movement in Colombia is presented, along with its historical, psychological and legal aspects, the ideas of homosexuality as a sin, as a criminal offence, as a mental disease, or as an alternative lifestyle. Described are the developments of what is referred to as sexual rights, as human rights, marriage equality, the adoption of children by same-sex couples, homo-parental families, the topics of health, identity, the psychological health of LGBT people, and the attitudes of the Colombian society in relation to these aspects. The roles of psychology as a discipline and the professional psychology associations are shown in a historical perspective.
Group therapy with international LGBTQ+ clients at the intersection of multiple minority status
Authors: Nerses Mego , Kleinplatz Peggy J. , Moser Charles
Published: June 2023

Members of sexual/gender minority groups, who are also immigrants and refugees face multiple problems in adapting to their new cultures. Often their sexual interests or gender expression was stigmatised, pathologised, criminalised and persecuted in their home cultures/countries. In this article, we discuss the special problems with acculturation to their new cultures faced by such individuals in a North American milieu. They are at the intersection of multiple minority identities (i.e. ethnic, racial, religious, immigrant, refugee). We provide a model of group therapy for international LGBTQ+ clients who have been persecuted for their sexual/gender minority expressions. Clinical, professional and ethical considerations are explored for dealing with international sexual/gender minority clients in therapy. The conclusion includes recommendations for professional development and for broadening the sphere of knowledge and training in the field.
Critical perspectives on the diversity of research into sexualities and health in Aotearoa/New Zealand: Thinking outside the boxes
Authors: Treharne Gareth J. , Adams Jeffery
Published: June 2023

In this article we provide a critical narrative review of the diverse contemporary research into sexualities and health in Aotearoa/New Zealand. We outline the specific colonial context of Aotearoa/New Zealand and the implications of this context for health research with lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) communities. The review draws on examples from our own experience carrying out LGBTQ health psychology research and wider research outside the boxes of psychology as a discipline, outside sexualities as simple identity categories, and outside HIV/AIDS as focus of much LGBTQ health research in recent decades and at present. We review existing LGBTQ health research from Aotearoa/New Zealand with regards to three central themes: (1) holistic approaches to health and healthcare for LGBTQ communities; (2) challenges in working towards health equalities for LGBTQ communities; and (3) theorisation of the impact of discrimination on the health of members of LGBTQ communities. Throughout the review we emphasise critical perspectives on research into sexualities and health and the importance of considering whether LGBTQ communities benefit from research. We also make suggestions for enhancing the criticality of LGBTQ health research in Aotearoa/New Zealand and illustrate how research into sexualities and health in Aotearoa/New Zealand provides useful examples for LGBTQ health researchers in other contexts.

This paper describes an novel, rapid, simple, meticulous and unerring “stability indicating HPLC method” for the assessment of montelukast (MTT) and bilastine (BLE) mix in existence of their degradation products in tablet formulation. Zorbax column XDB-C18 was utilized to separate and analyse MTT and BLE mix. The isocratic mode elution of BLE and MTT mix was made with 0.1M disodium hydrogen phosphate buffer of pH 5.8 (55 % volume ratio) and methanol (45% volume ratio) at 1.0 mL min-1 flow stream. Strong linearity was recorded within the 2.5 - 20 µg mL-1 and 5 - 40 µg mL-1 concentration ranges, with coefficient determination values of 0.9994 and 0.9997, respectively, for MTT and BLE. The recovery percentiles of MTT and BLE were 99.593 % and 99.349 %, respectively. The precision displayed values less than 0.520 % for MTT and less than 0.745 % for BLE. The robustness too was shown in the chromatographic settings by minor variations. The specificity besides stability representing feature was evidenced since the degradation products arisen in stress situations did not interlope in the determination of MTT and BLE mix. Thus, this procedure can be applied for quality regulation analysis of BLE and MTT mix in formulations of tablets.

An outbreak of a respiratory sickness started in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and the causative agent was found be a novel betacoronovirus of the same subgenus as SARSCoV and named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) quickly spread around the world, with clinical signs ranging from mild respiratory symptoms to severe pneumonia and a fatality rate estimated around 2%. Lower respiratory tract infections can occur in immunocompromised subjects and the elderly persons. Respiratory droplets are the causative agent for the person-to-person spread of the disease resembling the spread of influenza. Individual to individual spread turned into the primary mode of transmission. The transmission of the disease might be more likely in the earlier stage of infection as the viral RNA levels appear to be higher. Accurate diagnosis in the early stages of the epidemic helps control the spread of the disease.

Pendidikann di era globalisasi berdampak terhadap peserta didik secara komprehensif. Melalui pengembangan model, pendekatan, teori belajar dan segalan metode dan teknik pembelajaran yang tidak terdeteksi perkembangannya, hal ini seolah memberikan petunjuk kepada kita untuk terus menerus mengembangkan ilmu pengetahuan.  Kemampuan anak usia dini menjadi dasar pokok keberhasilan pada jenjang selanjutnya, kemampuan anak untuk memulai membentuk pengetahuan bahasa, tentu memerlukan media yang konkrit dan langsung dipraktekkan oleh anak tersebut, sebab dengan anak langsung praktek itu menjadikan anak secara mandiri akan membentuk pengetahuannya sendiri. Artinya kemampuan anak dalam mengenal itu langsung melafalkan tanpa perantara bimbingan dari guru, sehingga lebih kuat dan objektif terhadap masing-masing kemampuan anak. Model pendekatan ini membuat pembiasaan anak baik secara individu maupun kelompok akan menunjang daya berfikir serta menumbuhkan jiwa kemandirian dan tidak tergantung terhadap sesama teman. Dengan media kartu huruf yang diajarkan menggunakan metode kupas rangkai membuat unsur demonstrasi, praktek, visual, audio visual langsung dialami oleh anak-anak, sehingga pendekatan verbal semakin tidak diperlukan.

Analysis of the Tampa Bay Rays Sister City Plan based on Urban Catalysts Theory
Authors: Song Ran
Published: June 2023

In MLB, small market teams have fewer fans and relatively less access to resources, and even less opportunity to gain exposure. Whether it's the fan base, the team's financial resources, the size of the market or the size of the benefits received, small market teams can't compete with big market teams. In this environment, the Tampa Bay Rays have managed to bounce back. Since 2008, the Rays have made the playoffs six times in 14 years, and two trips to the World Series. However, such a strong team has a sluggish ball market that does not match the booming sports atmosphere. Therefore, in order for the team to further expand its popularity, attract more fans, and thus gain more economic benefits and tap into the huge market potential, the Tampa Bay Rays propose a sister-city plan and has caused widespread controversy. This study attempts to discuss the future development direction of the team through the theory of urban catalyst, from the two aspects of team development and urban promotion, and put forward the best interests of the future development of the Tampa Bay Rays.
Effect and Significance of Surveillance Cameras for Individuals and Society
Authors: Chen Tianyue
Published: June 2023

With the advancement of the times, surveillance cameras have been detached from their inherent functions, which currently bring society different kinds of impacts. The Panopticon theory raised by Jeremy Bentham and Michel Foucault is the main one that describes the role of surveillance. This paper aims to provide an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the impact and significance of surveillance devices. First, individuals behaviors are corrected under surveillance, thus enhancing individual behavior norms and productivity while preventing the pursuit of ones true self. Besides, mass surveillance brings discrimination and marginalization to society, leads to conflict between social classes, and only increasing the number of surveillance does not fundamentally improve social security. Moreover, the article describes the impact of surveillance as a symbol of power in society. The powers that use surveillance cameras to enhance their control over society invariably create oppression for people. Various theories from different sociologists are interspersed throughout the paper to explain such social phenomena, which has shown it impossible to make society more surveilled to improve the community as a whole.
A Comparative Study on the Set-size Effects in Polygon and Words in Visual Search Task
Authors: Huang Yuetman
Published: June 2023

Collection size has a very important effect on visual working memory. In this paper, we use an interview and repeated measure design to empirically investigate the relationship between larger ensemble sizes (more than four distractors) and reaction times for participant responses. We set up a scene for daily observation of polygons and words. Participants were required to identify a correctly written Chinese character and the target item, and the pentagon in the hexagon (distractor). The study found that there was no significant difference in the impact trend of large and small groups on people, and there was a high degree of consistency. At the same time, this experiment also found that the effect of ensemble size may be different for males and females. And the reaction time has a great relationship with the location of the target and the reading habits of the subjects. This requires further exploration.

Authors: He Yanlingxi , Meng Shuyao , Tong Yawen
Published: June 2023

The main content of this paper is to explain how the visual culture of gender inequality is reflected in Hollywood films. This paper refers to current research and reports about Hollywood and analyzes some specific movies, including Ant-Man and the Wasp, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Hulk. The paper concludes that the visual culture of gender inequality is mainly reflected in the differences between men and women in the distribution of time, work, and income. Specifically, compared to men, women get fewer chances to play in a film, have lower positions in the film industry, and earn less. Furthermore, it is found that most movies apply the perspective of men and repeat gender stereotypes. Therefore, this paper hopes that more people can pay attention to the interests and situation of women.
Research on the Causes of Parents' Educational Anxiety under the Double Reduction Policy
Authors: Zhou Xinyue
Published: June 2023

China introduced a double reduction policy in 2021, but the survey found that parental education anxiety has not been sufficiently reduced. In order to reduce anxiety, the causes of the anxiety phenomenon need to be traced. Through documentary research, this study collated and summarised previous research and connected it with family capital theory and intensive mothering theory to explain the causes of anxiety. It is found that the limited economic, cultural, and social capital in a family can cause parental anxiety. Parents' anxiety is also affected when limited resources are confronted with parenting-intensive parents' high expectations of their children and utilitarian expectations of educational returns.
Implicit Biases of the World: The Effect of Skin Tone on Initial Perceptions of People
Authors: Wu Bowen
Published: June 2023

Initial perceptions of people are the basis of how we view one another and most likely determine how relationships will turn out. In recent years, the idea of implicit biases, subconsciously being unfair to a particular group of people, has been widely scrutinized. Whether it is related to being employed at a company or just simply interacting with a stranger, implicit biases exist through and through. Because of this, we have to ask ourselves how much skin tone affects our perceptions of specific individuals daily, especially how we judge their personalities differently. This research will be based on how people's skin tone affects their initial perceptions/snap judgments regarding their personalities. To address this question, this experiment will consist of 150 participants looking through 160 images of men and women, sorted into four main categories: very dark, dark, light, and very light skin tones. Each of these images will be shown for 100 ms, and then the participants will be asked questions regarding the images personalities based on the Big 5 Personality Test. These responses will then be measured as being a negative or a positive perception response. It is expected that the stimulus images that represent individuals of darker skin tones will receive more negative perception responses. In contrast, the stimulus images representing individuals of lighter skin tones will receive more positive perception responses. These results imply that implicit biases not only exist but exist at a deeper, subconscious level.
