Preschool Teachers' Sensitivity to Early Literacy Milestones in Play
Authors: Jordan Rebecca Payne , Sumrall Teressa
Published: September 2023

Teachers must be attuned to the way play supports children’s progress towards meeting developmental milestones, such as those described in Early Learning and Developmental Standards (ELDS), given that play is a primary vehicle for learning in early childhood classrooms. Using a semi-structured interview protocol, eight early childhood educators were shown two vignettes of children at play, asked to identify evidences of literacy development, and asked which ELDS those evidences indicated. Teachers were also asked to develop an instructional extension based on the achievement and needs noted in the vignettes. Teachers were largely able to identify evidence of literacy development using vignettes and envision evidence-based pedagogical extensions to advance children’s learning, though this was most evident in the areas of phonological awareness and alphabet knowledge and least evident in areas related to engagement and comprehension. Implications for teacher education and professional development are provided.

ANALYZING THE CRITICAL DISCOURSE OF BEAUTY PRODUCT ADVERTISEMENTS IN SHAPING SOCIETAL PERCEPTIONS
Authors: Widiastuti Widiastuti
Published: September 2023

Through television broadcasts, electronic and online platforms, as well as printed media, the public can readily access information about a variety of brands, presented through captivating images and compelling text. Undeniably, the most potent force in advertising lies in the utilization of language that can transform the perceptions and viewpoints of potential consumer groups. This study's primary objective is to deconstruct the advertising strategies employed by two competing beauty product brands, aiming to win over the favor of potential customers. While prior research has delved into the ideological aspects of beauty advertisements using Critical Discourse Analysis, there remains a scarcity of studies that undertake a comparative analysis of local and international beauty products. To accumulate data, this study closely examined the promotional materials of two rival beauty product brands, they are: Scarlett and Skintific which is prominently featured on the online platform YouTube. The analysis adopted the Critical Discourse Analysis framework developed by Norman Fairclough, encompassing three interconnected dimensions: the textual content itself, the underlying discourse practices, and the broader socio-cultural context. The outcomes unveiled that the textual components within the advertisements were meticulously constructed to evoke persuasion and resonate with the emotions of potential buyers. Additionally, these textual elements contributed to amplifying existing realities while also shaping specific narratives within society, ultimately guiding the advertisements toward the ultimate goal of invoking empathy from potential consumers

Guānxì, familismo y asociaciones. ¿Las claves de las Prácticas comerciales de migrantes chinos en Buenos Aires?
Authors: Denardi Luciana Emilia
Published: September 2023

[ES] Resumen: En este artículo analizaré, desde un enfoque etnográfico, los diferentes escenarios en los que migrantes chinos llevan adelante prácticas comerciales en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina. La propuesta consiste en matizar algunas de las categorías que se presentan como claves que explican el éxito en los negocios tanto con migrantes como con empresas chinas. Estas claves, según algunos interlocutores en el trabajo de campo y la literatura especializada son: guānxì, familismo y asociaciones. Algunos interlocutores en el campo indican que lo más relevante para hacer negocios es “el precio y las condiciones”, otros elaboran estrategias para no incorporarse a la empresa o comercio familiar y finalmente, las asociaciones en Buenos Aires poco a poco están comenzando a caracterizarse por su modernidad. Concluyo que las características del proceso migratorio local y la internacionalización de la economía china juegan un rol preponderante en la imbricación de prácticas comerciales modernas y tradicionales que marcan una diferencia en relación a la relevancia del guānxì en los negocios entre chinos y argentinos; la continuidad de la tendencia al familismo y las particularidades de las “asociaciones de residentes” en Buenos Aires.
Palabras clave: migración china, asociaciones chinas, prácticas comerciales, guānxì, Argentina
[EN] Abstract: In this article, I will analyze, from an ethnographic perspective, the different scenarios in which Chinese migrants carry out commercial practices in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The proposal consists of nuancing some of the categories that are presented as key factors that explain the success in businesses, both with migrants and Chinese companies. These key factors, according to some informants in the fieldwork and specialized literature, are guānxì, familism, and associations. Some informants in the field indicate that the most relevant aspect for doing business is “price and conditions,” while others develop strategies not to be incorporated into the family business or trade. Finally, associations in Buenos Aires are gradually becoming characterized by their modernity. I conclude that the characteristics of the local migration process and the internationalization of the Chinese economy play a preponderant role in the intertwining of modern and traditional commercial practices, which differ in terms of the relevance of guānxì in business between Chinese and Argentinians, the continuity of the familism trend, and the particularities of “resident associations” in Buenos Aires.
Keywords: Chinese migration, Chinese associations, commercial practices, guānxì, Argentina.
La integración social de los inmigrantes chinos en la España contemporánea: un análisis desde el trabajo de campo en Barcelona
Authors: Li Longxiang , Du Xinrui
Published: September 2023

[ES] Resumen: Los inmigrantes chinos son actualmente el grupo más numeroso de inmigrantes asiáticos en España. Sin embargo, a pesar de ser una parte importante de la población migrante en España, es el grupo más desconocido y difícil de integrarse en la sociedad local a ojos de los españoles. Por eso, este artículo adopta una combinación de métodos de investigación cualitativos y cuantitativos, combinándose cuestionarios y entrevistas semiestructuradas, para investigar y analizar la situación actual de la integración social de los inmigrantes chinos en España, tomando Barcelona como ejemplo. Los resultados muestran que, aunque los inmigrantes chinos están básicamente bien equipados para la integración social en términos de condiciones económicas y tienen cierto conocimiento de la cultura española, su participación en actividades sociales y políticas es relativamente baja, lo que dificulta su mayor integración en la sociedad local. No obstante, a medida que van cambiando las generaciones, el nivel de integración social de los inmigrantes chinos aumenta gradualmente. Mejorar el nivel educativo general de los descendientes de chinos, completar la transformación de su estructura ocupacional y elevar aún más su estatus e influencia social son claves para acelerar el proceso de integración social.
Palabras clave: España, migración internacional, inmigrantes chinos, integración social
[EN] Abstract: Chinese immigrants are the largest group of Asian immigrants in Spain currently. However, as an important part of the migrant population in Spain, Chinese immigrants are the most unknown and difficult to integrate into the local society in the eyes of the Spanish people. Therefore, this article adopts a research method, the combination of qualitative and quantitative questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, to investigate and analyze the current situation of social integration of Chinese immigrants in Spain while taking Barcelona as an example. The results show that, although Chinese immigrants are basically well equipped for social integration in terms of economic conditions and know something about Spanish culture, their participation in social and political activities is relatively low, which hinders their further integration into the local society. However, as the generational change, the level of social integration of Chinese immigrants gradually increases. Improving the general educational level of Chinese descendants, completing the transformation of their occupational structure and further raising their social status and influence are key to accelerating the process of social integration.

Published: September 2023

La clave del éxito de la civilización egipcia fue su posición geográfica en las riberas del Nilo que le aportó con recursos para la agricultura, ganadería y pesca. A pesar de que la alimentación era diversa y abundante en la mayor parte del año, la misma difería entre las clases sociales reservando lo mejor para la élite, como frutas o carnes preparadas con especias, Los faraones daban mucha importancia a la gastronomía empleando técnicas de cocción, y métodos de conservación para épocas de escasez que actualmente se siguen utilizando como la salazón, deshidratado, encurtido, fermentación, maceración, verduras en vinagre o aceite. Así mismo se les atribuye el uso de más de 2000 recetas farmacéuticas para curar enfermedades revelando el importante conocimiento que tenían sobre las plantas.
O racismo como arma para manutenção da necropolítca em arquipélago de sabaody e ilha dos homens-peixe de one piece (1999)
Authors: Calixto Kezia da Silva , Silva João Batista Pereira , Da Silva Fernanda Suelen Freitas , De Santana Gilberto Freire
Published: September 2023

O objeto de estudo do presente trabalho é One Piece (1999), mangá e anime de Eiichiro Oda, que narra a história de Monkey D. Luffy, um jovem que busca encontrar o maior tesouro do mundo, o one piece. Optou-se por uma análise do anime, especificamente os arcos (blocos de episódios) conhecidos como Arquipélago de Sabaody e Ilha dos Homens-peixe. A leitura da obra sinaliza que os corpos fora do padrão estabelecido são fortemente discriminados, permitindo refletir sobre o racismo contra indivíduos negros (CUTI, 2010). Em discussão com o filósofo camaronês Mbembe (2018), objetivou-se discorrer como o racismo e a necropolítica são utilizados por governos autoritários, para manutenção do poder. Buscou-se discutir que a necropolítica é combatida por meio de insurgências e da luta antirracista. Foram selecionados excertos literários e imagéticos da obra para embasar a discussão. Espera-se que com esta pesquisa os animes/desenhos animados passem a ser percebidos como narrativas que possibilitam diversas reflexões, entre elas as questões sociais. Que sejam vistos como ferramentas úteis para a formação do pensamento crítico, tal qual o texto literário propriamente dito.

Published: September 2023

Dificuldades em competências básicas nas áreas de linguagem e cálculos estão fortemente presentes nos estudantes oriundos do Ensino Fundamental e Médio de escolas locais da cidade de Santa Rita, na Paraíba e ingressantes no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Paraíba, ao ponto de ser aplicado um programa extracurricular, na tentativa de saná-las. Neste contexto, faz-se necessárias medidas que mitiguem esses problemas, como a aplicação de metodologias pedagógicas que visem ajudar na melhoria da qualidade do ensino. Considera-se também, que nas últimas décadas, o advento da tecnologia da informação e da robótica, é uma realidade cada vez mais constante, pois ela está presente na nossa casa, no trabalho e na escola no que tange ao entretenimento, a criatividade e a produtividade do estudante. O uso da robótica é uma ferramenta que visa contribuir com a melhoria do intercâmbio ensino-aprendizagem. Seu uso já se faz presente em metodologias pedagógicas. Santa Rita possui estruturas para tal atividade, porém a escassez de profissionais capacitados para executar essa tarefa faz com que a robótica não seja uma ferramenta funcional de ensino dentro das escolas da cidade. Algumas já possuem kits de robótica que são subutilizados, já outras estão iniciando seus projetos. Assim, este projeto visa mitigar os problemas educacionais nas escolas locais de Santa Rita - PB por meio da robótica, e incentivar a inserção e prática da robótica no processo de ensino-aprendizagem fazendo com que o estudante adquira conhecimento de várias disciplinas na solução de problemas reais.

Environmental citizenship: liberalism, cosmopolitanism and sustainability
Authors: Lenzi Cristiano Luis
Published: September 2023

The debate about the concept of environmental citizenship in the literature of the Social
Sciences is currently marked by a conceptual dispute. Against this background, the text develops a critique of the concept of liberal environmental citizenship, using the concept of cosmopolitan environmental citizenship as the basis for this critique. The text examines the meaning of the concept of liberal environmental citizenship and then compares it to the cosmopolitan interpretation of the concept. Unlike other works that address these issues, this text allows us, among other things, to examine the connections between liberal environmental citizenship and national liberalism. Through this analysis, we hope to clarify some of the limitations that affect the concept of environmental citizenship, while exploring the possibilities that the cosmopolitan perspective offers for our understanding of the concept of environmental citizenship. Examining the concept of environmental citizenship proves to be fundamental to the analysis of environmental public policy, where the pursuit of sustainability is generally viewed as a process of public participation. This is particularly evident in areas such as environmental education, where environmental citizenship is generally seen as an essential dimension that constitutes it.
Defamation and Insult Via Digital Media in Indonesia: The Islamic Law and Human Rights Perspective
Authors: Yusrizal  , Adwani  , Rizanizarli  , Rinaldi Yanis
Published: September 2023

Purpose: In this research, normatively and practically, insults and defamation tested the standard limits of freedom of speech as a form of freedom of expression.
 
Theoretical framework: Each individual has an obligation to exercise their human rights and to recognize and protect the human rights of others. No entity, whether it be the government, groups, or individuals, has the authorization to infringe on the rights of others.
 
Method: The research method used in this research was normative juridical research that refers to the norms and principles of law regulating criminal acts of insult and or defamation via digital media.
 
Conclusions: In principle, the regulation of criminal acts of insult and or defamation via digital media is based on human rights. However, the regulation in the Indonesian Criminal Code and Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions may not be an appropriate for controlling information containing insults and/or defamation in information technology. In Islamic law, respect for human beings is a fundamental right and universal freedom is an integral part of Islam.
 
Research Implications: In the context of a democracy, freedom of expression is a right, the use of which can be restricted by the state. Insults and defamation through speech and expression can harm an individual's reputation, which is considered one of their fundamental rights that demands protection and respect.
 
Originality/value: Human dignity has a high position in the core values of Islam. It is because Islam does not allow for the degradation of an individual's dignity through insult or defamation.
Ibn Khaldun, Muqaddima: Outline on Conflict and Social Cohesion at the Dawn of Sociology or Social Theory
Authors: Arenas Ruben Dario Mendoza , Cruz Josefina Arimatea García , Gonzales César Angel Durand , Huarote José Luis Salazar , Lugo Josefrank Pernalete , Baltazar Marisol Paola Delgado
Published: September 2023

Objective: To examine the foundations that govern human development, seen as an active subject of history, in the causes that motivate social facts and the mechanisms that move the threads of human relations of IBN Jaldun.
 
Theoretical framework: The Muqaddima of Ibn Khaldun is a work where the author addresses topics as varied as the philosophy of history, economics, sociology and other sciences related to human behavior, from a unique perspective for his time.
 
Results and discussion: If we dismiss the Eurocentric vision of the history of thought, it is possible to place Ibn Khaldun as a direct tributary of modern social thought, giving history a scientific character, defining its object of study and specifying the principles that should mark its methodology.
 
Conclusion: In the development of  his study, specifically in the Muqaddima, Ibn Khaldun elaborates a primitive theory on the development and origin of civilizations, having as a touchstone the Asabiya, a concept that today is comparable to social cohesion in sociology and an organicist theory about the rise and fall of empires.
 
Research Implications: Ibn Khaldun distinguishes three moments in the development of a civilization, the first at birth where peoples are "humanized" and stand out for their moderation.
Resilience index and mental stress of nursing staff working in intensive care units during the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic
Authors: Januszek Daria , Kobos Ewa , Dziedzic Beata
Published: September 2023

Background. Resilience, or mental toughness, is the ability to effectively cope in challenging circumstances. High resilience levels allow for faster adaptation in extreme situations. Aim of the study. An assessment of resilience, mental stress, and self-reported work environment among nursing staff in intensive care units (ICUs) during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Material and methods. The study involved 102 nursing staff working in ICUs. Data collection used the Resilience Coping Scale (RCS-25), Meister’s psychological strain scale, and an original work environment self-assessment scale. Results. The overall mean score of the respondents on the resilience scale was 74.11 points out of a possible 100, while they scored an average of 24.36 points out of 50 on the mental stress scale. Staff working in hospitals converted into infectious disease sites (p = 0.000) or in infectious hospitals with a third level of referral (p = 0.012) assessed their working environment significantly better in the context of the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Medical staff who worked longer at their current workplace, those with longer seniority in the profession, and those who were older scored higher in the resilience areas. The younger the respondent, the more mentally stressed they were in general (rho= -0.200), in non-specific areas (rho= -0.217), and in monotony (rho= -0.211). Those who did not feel well equipped with personal protective equipment showed lower resilience. Conclusions. Respondents were characterized by average resilience and second-level mental stress, while those with higher resilience suffered lower mental stress. We recommend organizing training to strengthen mental toughness, the identification of resilience factors, and the assessment of mental stress in the work environment in the context of the ongoing pandemic. The data obtained could be used to adjust working conditions during the next pandemic. Keywords: nurse, intensive care unit, resilience, mental stress, mental strain, COVID-19.
Quantifying Intrinsic Ankle Stiffness in Quiet Standing: A Systematic Review
Authors: Nowakowski Łukasz , Wysogląd Maria , Furmanek Mariusz , Słomka Kajetan
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Ankle stiffness is a factor that contributes to maintaining balance and counteracts the forces of gravity as the body sways. Stability while standing quietly depends on its value. Intrinsic ankle stiffness refers to (i) the passive resistance provided by the structural components of the ankle joint itself, such as the ligaments and joint capsules, (ii) a property of the joint that remains constant regardless of the external forces applied, (iii) a characteristic that affects the stability and control of the ankle joint. The aim is to present compilation of the results published in the researchers’ work makes it possible to analyze changes in the value of ankle stiffness for perturbations of different amplitude. Material and Methods: The review is based on articles identified through searches of Pubmed, Web of Science, and Scopus. There were no restrictions on the publication date. The Boolean search strategy was used. Results: Ankle stiffness changes with increasing sway amplitude. Its values are greater for perturbations of smaller amplitudes and, therefore, cannot be represented by a single value. Passive stiffness reduces sway and allows time for the active system to respond. The interaction of these two mechanisms ensures the stability of an upright posture. Conclusions: Ankle stiffness is a parameter that can be applied in clinical practice. The exact determination of the range of stiffness values is a useful tool to define a motor organization/reorganization.

Published: September 2023

Objetivo: Analisar nas produções científicas o Processo de Trabalho Participar Politicamente, que fortalece a enfermagem no cenário de sua prática. Métodos: Revisão integrativa; questão norteadora: quais as produções científicas que evidenciam o Processo de Trabalho Participar Politicamente e sua relação com o fortalecimento da Enfermagem no cenário de sua prática. Resultados: Foram encontrados 330 artigos em bases de dados repositórios de artigos da área da saúde, 12 foram excluídos por duplicidade e 263 por não atenderem aos critérios de inclusão. Dos 55 que restaram, 38 foram excluídos por não atenderem ao objeto da pesquisa. 17 foram selecionados para a leitura na íntegra, e excluindo-se 14 por não responderem à questão norteadora, 03 foram incluídos na síntese qualitativa, sendo dois artigos da base de dados BDENF e um da MEDLINE. A síntese demonstra que é preciso caminhar para um compromisso de atuação como ser sociopolítico, que promova uma nova Enfermagem para fortalecer a profissão, especialmente no atual cenário de transformações nos sistemas de saúde. Considerações Finais: Apesar do exequível número de artigos encontrados sobre a temática, observa-se que a Participação Política se mostra intimamente ligada ao contato dos Enfermeiros com experiências de liderança e tomada de decisão durante a sua formação profissional, logo, é imprescindível que os docentes se empenhem para formar uma geração de Enfermeiros politicamente ativa. Ou seja, a discussão sobre a temática deve ser fomentada em todas as instâncias de formação profissional, com os aprofundamentos, acréscimos e contraposições devidos, e retomada no cotidiano da prática profissional.
"A BICHA PRETA PENTECOSTAL INCOMODA!": UMA FALA SOBRE GÊNERO, RAÇA E RELIGIÃO
Authors: Dos Santos Átila Augusto
Published: September 2023

No Brasil, já há muito tempo a maioria das masculinidades é impactada pela figura da “bicha”, homens gays que não se adequam ao padrão dominante.  Em contraposição, está o gay normatizado, aquele que nega a bicha. Há um sentimento simbólico de pertença que limita comportamentos e lugares com base em interpretações conservadoras religiosas e sociais, que regula e controla os corpos, às vezes perpetuando desigualdades em pessoas que não se enquadram na norma heterossexual, como é o caso da “bicha preta pentecostal”. As religiões, inclusive a pentecostal, referendam a heterossexualidade e a branquidade como elementos que garantem uma existência no centro, indicando a margem como o lugar adequado para gays afeminados, viados, bichas e, também, para os/as pretos/as pentecostais.  A ideia de sua existência é rejeitada pela maioria religiosa. A ferramenta da interseccionalidade (CRENSHAW, 2002) ajuda a questionar o eixo rígido da equação homem/branco/hétero, que é o padrão do sistema patriarcal e que destrói subjetividades fora da norma. O objetivo é questionar a existência da "Bicha Preta Pentecostal" em igrejas inclusivas, através de um olhar interseccional a esse "combo" de opressões e subalternidades. A Intercessionalidade ajuda a destacar as fissuras e marcas dessas pessoas que estão à margem da sociedade e que insistem em persistir em seus espaços. Neste texto, entrevistas resgatam a vivência de bichas pretas pentecostais da Igreja Nova Esperança de São Paulo para trazer luz à construção de um “lugar” para esta parcela da população brasileira.

The association between the consumption of pigmented rice (Oryza sativa L.) and the improvement of human health is generating a great deal of interest among the researchers. An experiment was conducted during 2020 and 2021 at Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, Assam to study the phytochemical profiling, antioxidant capacities and anthocyanin compositions of the 14 pigmented rice genotypes. The results were compared with the well-known traditional pigmented rice variety from Manipur, Poreiton Chakhao. The total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and total anthocyanin content ranged from 37.101 to 493.611 mg gallic acid equivalent/100 g, 53.316 to 151.667 mg quercetin equivalent/100 g and 1.006 to 13.904 mg cyanidin-3-chloride equivalent/100 g in the studied rice genotypes. The amount of rice showing 50% DPPH free radical scavenging activity (IC 50 value) ranged from 6.610 to 29.376 mg. The HPLC analysis revealed presence of both cyanidin-3-glucoside and peonidin-3-glucoside in the black pigmented rice genotypes, viz. TTB Black Rice 7, Chakhao-1, Chakhao-2 and TTB Black Rice 11. However, in the red rice genotypes analysed (Balam and Nepali Chakuwa), these two anthocyanins were not detected.

The present study was carried out at Zonal Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station, Babbur Farm, Hiriyur, Chitradurga, Karnataka during rainy (kharif) season 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 to study the productivity and economics of maize (Zea mays L.) + field bean (Dolichos lablab L.) (4:2) intercropping system under different farming practices. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four farming practices as treatments, viz. T1, Natural farming (NF); T2, Organic farming (OF); T3, Recommended package of practices (RPP) and; T4, Farmer practices (FP) with five replications. Results revealed that the recommended package of practices (RPP) recorded a significantly higher maize grain yield (6045 kg/ha), seed yield of field bean (538 kg/ha), maize equivalent yield (9625 kg/ha). Cost of cultivation in different farming practices indicated the lowest labour cost incurred in organic farming (₹25405/ha) and material cost in natural farming (₹14576/ha) as compared to other farming practices. Among the farming practices, lowest cost of cultivation was observed under natural farming (₹45436/ha) as compared to other farming practices. The gross returns (₹166471/ha) and net returns (₹109428/ha) were again significantly higher in RPP over other farming practices.

The present study was carried out at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana to assess the impact of natural ageing and different storage containers on eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) seed quality during the 2020–21 and 2021–22 winter (rabi) seasons. Genetically pure seeds were used and stored in cloth and polythene bags. Seed quality parameters (germination, seedling length, seedling dry weight, and seed vigour) were monitored at various intervals (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 months). Freshly harvested seeds (control) exhibited superior quality, with higher germination rates, longer seedlings, greater seedling dry weight, and improved vigour indices compared to stored seeds over 18 months. Seed quality deteriorated with longer storage, reaching its lowest point at 18 months. Among storage containers, cloth bags showed a faster decline in seed quality compared to polythene bags (>700 gauge). In field experiments, one-year stored seeds from polythene bags outperformed those from cloth bags in terms of seed establishment percentage, mean emergence time, and germination speed. In conclusion, polythene bags maintained acceptable seed germination (meeting IMSCS standards) for up to 15 months, while cloth bags maintained it for up to 12 months. Therefore, polythene bags are a better choice for preserving eggplant seed quality during storage, particularly for longer durations.

High green pod yield, dual purpose type, earliness and photo-thermo insensitivity are the major breeding objectives of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.]. Photo-thermo sensitivity makes this crop vulnerable to photoperiod and temperature fluctuations particularly in hot arid regions, thereby affecting its yield potential drastically. Therefore, the present study was aimed to identify such elite genotypes with photo-thermo insensitivity, which can fit well across all seasons under hot arid environment. The experiments were conducted at ICAR-Central Institute for Arid Horticulture, Bikaner during rainy and summer seasons of 2019–20 and 2020–21. A wide range of variability among genotypes was observed with respect to various phenological and yield traits over the environments. Among the evaluated genotypes, AHCP-1-4-1 and AHCP-2-3 were found photo-thermo insensitive as these were able to flower and set pods at temperatures as low as 10oC and as high as 46°C. Pollen viability studies indicated that AHCP-1-4-1 had 83.72 and 88.24% pollen viability and AHCP-2-3 had 81.58 and 85.71% viable pollen at 11°C and 46°C, respectively and normal pollen tube growth at both the extremes of temperature. The identified genetic resources will contribute for developing photo-thermo insensitive cultivars and will improve the productivity and extend the availability of cowpea with quality pod yield across all seasons and locations of hot arid regions.
