Published: May 2022

Field experiment was carried out at Research Farm of Department of Agricultural Meteorology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar located during rabi season of 2006 and 2007 on a sandy loam soil to study the evaluation of SOYGRO model of PK- 416 soybean cultivar for Hisar conditions. Yield attributes like pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and 100-seed weight decreased with subsequent delay in sowing from 7 June onward during both the seasons. Seed yield, straw yield and biological yield were highest in 7 June sowing as compared to late sown. The predicted deviation of seeds per pod was underestimated during both the crop seasons. This deviation varied from -4.47 to -8.95 seeds per pod in 2006 and -5.12 to -8.15 seeds per pod in 2007. The comparison of observed and simulated yield parameters viz., seed and straw yield showed that the model overestimated under all sowing dates. The straw yield was mostly overestimated but it was underestimated when crop sown delayed.

Pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) is the notorious pest and being a monophagy on cotton, the damage that it causes is alarming. Any changes in the nutritional quality of cotton will have direct influences on pink bollworm. In this regard, the host-mediated effect of eCO2 and temperature on the life cycle of pink bollworm, P. gossypiella on Bt cotton was studied in the open top chambers at the Center for Agro-climatic Studies, UAS, Raichur. The results revealed that variations in phyto-chemistry of Bt cotton particularly the cry toxin expression and nitrogen have reduced in elevated CO2 and temperature conditions which also reduced larval, pupal period, adult longevity, fecundity and incubation period. However, the total life span of pink bollworm did not show statistically significant differences among the climate change treatments. Similar results were noticed when pink bollworm was reared on Bt cotton collected from different open top chambers and reared separately in growth chambers and the same larvae were analyzed for their enzyme activity. A significant increase in the activity of midgut proteases (trypsin and chymotrypsin), carbohydrases (α-amylase) was noticed but lipase activity was reduced.

Timely and accurate medium range weather information is critical to conquer the impact of highly dynamic next few days’ weather on the farming. Advances in weather forecast models, as well as their increased resolution, have resulted in more accurate and realistic forecasts. An attempt was made during 2019 – 2021 at Agro Climate Research Centre, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore to develop cluster of village level (@ 3km resolution) Medium Range Weather Forecast (MRWF) for Tamil Nadu with higher accuracy. In this study, Weather Research and Forecast Model (WRF v4.2.1) with four microphysics viz., Kessler, WSM3, WSM5, WSM6 schemes were tested for Tamil Nadu during CWP, HWP, SWM and NEM 2020. The MRWF generated from the WRF model v4.2.1 with WSM3 had better BSF, higher Forecast Accuracy Index (FAI) and Forecast Usability Percent (FUP) for Tamil Nadu followed by Kessler scheme. The WSM5 and WSM6 were poor performer during the study. In general, CWP had higher FAI followed by HWP, NEM & SWM. The FAI from WSM3 was 0.65 - 0.74 during NEM and 0.55 - 0.69 during SWM. Among the season, the MRWF generated during SWM were over forecasted the rainfall quantity, where the NEM and HWP had better rainfall forecast nearing actuals. The FUP was higher in NEM followed by CWP, SWM & HWP, which was 57 – 88 per cent during NEM and 46 – 82 per cent during SWM. A decreasing trend in the quantitative FUP was observed with increase in lead times, irrespective of the microphysics and seasons. Finally, the study concluded that the accuracy of village level medium range rainfall forecasts from WRF model v4.2.1 varied temporally by season and the WSM3 microphysics option having superiority in all seasons.

Published: May 2022

Teachers’ daily life mostly revolves on two important field- home and work. Thus, establishing harmonious multiple roles significantly increases interpersonal and intrapersonal conflict to the teachers who simultaneously maintain personal and professional roles. Due to rise of COVID-19 pandemic, teachers nowadays are more pressured to maintain equilibrium between home and work roles. With the shift of working conditions, teachers have to balance the multiple roles due to work from home condition. Familywork conflict (FWC) and work-family conflicts (WFC) as well as teachers’ work productivity (WP) were determined, their relationship and responses differences base on profile were also looked at. This correlational research applied a judgmental sampling, and considered online teachers as respondents. After the test-retest reliability, the researcher distributed the questionnaire via messenger using Google form. A Cronbach Alpha of 0.912 and KMO value 0.789 justify the instruments and sampling as reliable and adequate. It was then identified that teachers do experience WFC and FWC which signifies that there is a complicated multiple role functioning and interference. Indicators of WP illustrates that due to WFH set-up, some tasks were not met by teachers. The significant relationship between WFC and FWC to WP and differences WFC, FWC, and WP responses based on a profile were observed. It elicits in understanding teachers’ condition in WFH set-up and productivity impact of it. Thus, results are helpful to spearhead programs and activities that may ease burnout and decision fatigue among teachers.

The study aimed to describe the senior high school student officers’ level of involvement in their respective organizations and further investigate its existing relationship with their communicative competence by employing a descriptive correlational design. Using frequency count, percentage, mean, and Pearson r for statistical analysis of data, results revealed that most of the student leaders were actively involved with one recognized student organizations, devoted more than an hour in a week in their respective organizational activities regardless of its nature and occupied higher positions in the organization. Student leaders have communicative competence terms of verbal skills, non-verbal skills, organization, and subject knowledge and an existing significant relationship between their position in the organization and their communicative competence were found. In conclusion, student leaders who actively participate and occupy higher positions with different recognized student organization have bigger opportunity to attain communicative competence as they are exposed to different tasks and assignments that requires reading, writing, speaking, and understanding of the subject matter. Hence, it is recommended that parents, administrators, faculty members, organization moderators, and other stakeholders to support the active participation of learners in different student organization and design organizational activities that focus on the development of communication skills and competence. Moreover, future research employing a qualitative study design focusing on involvement and communicative competence may also be considered.

While academic institutions are gearing and propelling for 21st -century teaching and learning in science education to uplift the qualities of our science teachers in the aspects of the curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment, it can be also argued that oftentimes gender equality has been an issue in science classrooms. This is mainly because working with gender equality in science classrooms embraces a wide range of policies and practices. A cross-sectional survey design was used in this study to determine how secondary science teachers perceive differences between male and female students considering also their pedagogical content knowledge. The data analysis was built on descriptive statistics. The demographic profile of the secondary science teachers was noted. The analysis showed that science teachers perceived their pedagogical content knowledge as ‘very high’ in all five major areas. Among the given indicators, the majority of the science teachers perceived differences between male and female students in favor of the female students. The findings of this study would help science teachers to reflect on their teaching practices. Academic institutions should look into the way of enhancing the awareness among science teachers on promoting gender sensitivity inside the classroom. The schools with the support of education leaders need to intensify science teachers’ abilities to handle gender differences while strengthening instructional strategies for gender equality education primarily in gender inclusion in the science curriculum as the primary direction of the results of this study

Published: May 2022

The primary objective of the educational system is to give opportunities for students to receive practical and useful instruction in order to develop their cognitive skills and to improve their social abilities through speaking and debating. In a classroom context, there is a varied range of learners with varying levels of aptitude and ability to express effectively. Through classroom interaction and oral communication, the teacher encourages students to express themselves freely and share their thoughts and ideas based on how they fully grasped the lesson, observations from the outside surroundings, and experiences based on real-life situations, that were noticed and observed closely. However, not all learners are fluent communicators, particularly when speaking in the English language. Even if they have strong beliefs and can express their thoughts, sentiments, and emotions in various ways, they lack the confidence to say them appropriately. As a result, the learner's dedication to education, the necessity of learning and practicing English, and the learner's deep commitment to the learning phase all pose problems to the educational system. The purpose of the study was to determine the level of debating skills of Grade 10 and Senior High School students in the Schools Division of Santa Rosa City in terms of style, content, and strategy. The students were composed of 25 students from the Schools Division of Santa Rosa City. This was essentially a descriptive study in which a survey questionnaire was used in conjunction with the purposive sample technique to gather data. In order to determine the respondent's demographic profile, the data were statistically handled using the frequency distribution and weighted mean. The t-test was performed to determine whether or not there were statistically significant differences in the degree of debate skills of the respondents when they were divided into groups based on their demographic profile. The data revealed that respondents' degree of debate skills has a verbal interpretation of good and that there was no statistically significant difference between their demographic profiles. The findings also revealed that the majority of respondents were first-timers in the debate competition environment. It was proposed that students should engage in constant practice and coaching to improve and develop their arguing talents, as well as participate in debate workshops and training to improve their skills and strategy, in order to improve their overall performance. As a result, the intervention strategy is proposed.

The closure of Philippine schools has greatly affected the quality of instruction and learning during the pandemic. This study aimed to delve into the lived experiences of learners with insignificant progress from broken homes during the implementation of distance learning modalities. To materialize such a purpose, the researchers employed the phenomenological method of study. Fourteen student participants from broken homes were purposively selected to participate in an in-depth interview. The themes were identified using the NVIVO Application. The result shows that these groups of learners encountered several challenges such as slow internet connection, unfinished learning tasks, and deafening noise. These students have also made some adjustments which include doing household chores, changes in sleeping patterns, and seeking help from peers. More so, as a support to their children, the parents/homes assist such as financial and material support. It is also reported that parents/guardians give advice and help their children in accomplishing learning tasks. In conclusion, institutional policies from the government needs to strengthen the collaboration among education stakeholders to further assist these groups of learners. Subsequently, proposed remediation plan was made.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and motivational factors of effective Extension advisory leaders. This Delphi study was conducted with a selected group of County Extension Directors and a group of Extension State Advisory Leaders. The study identified 10 characteristics that distinguish an effective Extension advisory leader. Some of these characteristics are explicit and easy to observe, while others are implicit and difficult to directly observe. Therefore, it is practical to use directly observable characteristics of effective advisory leaders when selecting volunteers. Once potential volunteers are spotted in the community, implicit characteristics of effective advisory leaders should be used to further screen them before they are selected. The study also identified the eight most important factors motivating individuals to volunteer as effective advisory leaders. Understanding these motivational factors is helpful for creating an environment for attracting and retaining effective volunteers. Understanding their motivation for volunteer work and creating an environment for them to meet the motivating factors for volunteering will lead to volunteer satisfaction and retention. The findings of this study can be used to build strong Extension advisory councils.

Islamic Economy as an Alternative Solution of European Economic Crisis
Authors: Raul Didier
Published: May 2022

The problem of the economic crisis reoccurred again in the global territory that began with the economic crisis in the country of Greece. The crisis arising from the country's financial deficit due to enormous state debt has an impact on the economic crisis in the European region. This phase of the economic crisis is a manifestation of the failure of the capitalist economic system imposed by western countries. Many economists began to open a discourse to review the existing economic system because it did not provide welfare for the community. Islamic economics starting in the 1970s has begun to be widely studied by various universities in the world, which was eventually implemented with the establishment of the first Islamic Development Bank (IDB) in Jeddah. This then continued with the establishment of an institution for how to distribute the wealth in the financial community (tauzi'ul tsarwah bayna an-ill-fated) with the Islamic economic system. There are 3 (three) principles of Islamic economics which include: the principle of how to obtain assets (al milkiyah), how to manage the ownership of assets that are already owned (tasharuruf fil milkiyah). Ownership of assets in the Islamic economic system consists of balanced individual, state and general ownership. So it is expected that there will be more equitable welfare and of course the existence of moral values ​​for all economic actors.

HACCP (Hazard analysis critical control point) is a WHO (World Health Organization) recommended, renowned and widely practiced control tool towards food safety to counter the possibilities of FBD (food borne diseases) be it chemical or biological in food handling areas. Experimental Approach the study embarks upon the identification and controlling the possibilities of food contamination in each and every step even before it may occur. In the modern scenario, guests visiting the hotels are health and hygiene conscious and are also equipped with latest knowledge. Apart from that, Government with its rules and regulations is highly attentive towards public health. The study suggests that adherence to HACCP procedures helps in establishing maintain better hygiene leading to better rapport between the service providers and the customers. Methods this paper is an attempt to find out HACCP practical implications and its effect on operations of food production areas of 12 five-star category hotels in Delhi NCR (National Capital Region) during two months period of June and July 2021. The responses of the staff members from food production department were recorded in a questionnaire on a Likert scale of 5. Therefore, implication of HACCP can prove out to be really helpful as an effective and efficient control process in coping up with the possibilities of food contamination. Adherence to the same will give competitive edge to the hotels at the same time contributing significantly towards improvising the food production process, reducing the various costs involved enhancing the quality and quantity of the final product, increased guest satisfaction and hence leading to more revenue generation. Keywords: Food borne diseases, Food contamination, HACCP, Health and hygiene.

Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide is a well known active principle of marine brown algae, extensively used in food supplement and in pharmaceutical industry. The present study is aimed at evaluation of toxicological profile of fucoidan, isolated from Turbinaria conoides (J.Agardh) Kutzing in both male and female Wistar albino rats. Fucoidan was isolated and studied for Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopic analysis to confirm the functional groups. Acute and sub-acute toxicity studies were carried out by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development guidelines 423 and 407. After treatment period all the animals were sacrificed to evaluate hematological and biochemical parameters. The weights of internal organs recorded and histopathological studies performed. Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopic analysis confirms the groups that are correlated with the standard. The animals did not show morbidity or mortality in acute toxicity study at single oral administration of fucoidan at a dose of 2000 mg/kg. In sub-acute toxicity, no statistically significant differences observed in body weight, relative organ weight, food and water intake when compared to control group. No treatment related abnormalities observed in hematological and biochemical parameters except increased levels of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, total cholesterol, triglycerides and blood glucose in both male and female rats. Histopathology revealed no toxic signs at organ level compared to control. From the obtained results, the study suggested that fucoidan can be developed into a novel therapeutic agent and considered as a traditional drug as it does not show any toxic effects. Keywords: Acute toxicity, Fucoidan, Sub-acute toxicity, Turbinaria conoides.
