Quality and denoising in real-time fMRI neurofeedback: a methods review
Authors: Heunis Stephan , Lamerichs Rolf , Zinger Svitlana , Caballero-Gaudes Cesar , Jansen Jacobus FA , Aldenkamp Bert , Breeuwer Marcel
Published: July 2018

Neurofeedback training using real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMRI-NF) allows subjects voluntary control of localized and distributed brain activity. It has sparked increased interest as a promising non-invasive treatment option in neuropsychiatric and neurocognitive disorders, although its efficacy and clinical significance are yet to be determined. Maximization of neurofeedback learning effects in accordance with operant conditioning requires the feedback signal to be closely contingent on real brain activity, which necessitates the use of effective real-time fMRI denoising methods to prevent sham feedback. In this work, we present the first extensive review of acquisition, data processing and quality reporting methods available to improve the quality of the rtfMRI neurofeedback signal. Furthermore, we investigated the state of denoising and quality control practices in a set of 128 recently published rtfMRI-NF studies. We found: (i) that less than a third of the studies reported implementing standard real-time fMRI denoising steps; (ii) significant room for improvement with regards to methods reporting; and (iii) the need for methodological studies quantifying and comparing the contribution of denoising steps to the quality of the neurofeedback signal. Advances in the field of rtfMRI-NF research depend on reproducibility of methods and results. To this end, we recommend that future rtfMRI-NF studies: (i) report implementation of a set of standard real-time fMRI denoising steps according to a proposed COBIDAS-style checklist (https://osf.io/kjwhf/); (ii) ensure the quality of the neurofeedback signal by calculating and reporting community-informed quality metrics and applying offline control checks; and (iii) strive to adopt transparent principles in the form of methods and data sharing and the support of open-source rtfMRI-NF software.
Jejak seni Dalam Sejarah Islam

Published: July 2018

Seni adalah bagian dari metode dakwah, namun juga sebagai media berdakwah. Salah satu diantara seni tersebut adalah seni berbicara. Berbicara sebagai sebuah seni turut menentukan lancarnya kegiatan dakwah di dunia Islam. Dakwah tidak dilakukan dengan kekerasan, akan tetapi dengan komunikasi "sambung rasa" yaitu komunikasi seni. Dalam memberikan pelajaran, Al-qur'an menuntun juru dakwah dengan mempergunakan bahasa yang indah, lemah lembut, jelas, tegas, menyentuh jiwa dan mendalam. Keindahan bersumber kepada Tuhan. Keindahan yang ada pada alam termasuk yang dinikmati manusia adalah bagian terkecil dari keindahan yang dianugerahkan Allah, karena Allah adalah indah dan suka kepada yang indah.Buku ini berbicara tentang keindahan, performance dan pengaruh seni Islam pada pembentukan tamaddun masa kini, berisi tinjauan khusus tentang seni bicara (pidato/retorika), seni musik, seni suara (nyanyian), seni rupa (bina), seni kaligrafi, seni ukir dan dekorasi

A comparative study for the progressive failure analysis of double-notched glass/epoxy composite laminates
Authors: Pham DC
Published: July 2018

This work presents a comparative study for the progressive damage analysis of double-notched glass/epoxy composites with layups [90/0]s and [45/90/-45/0]s. The material property degradation method (MPDM) is used to model the intra-lamina failure whereas cohesive elements (CE) are employed to account for the delamination at the interfaces. Different fracture mechanics-based and continuum damage mechanics-based failure theories are considered in the MPDM-CE approach and a comparative study of these failure theories is presented. The predictions are compared with the experimental results reported by Hallett and Wisnom [2006]. Reasonably good agreement between experiment results and simulation results is obtained, showing that the MPDM-CE approach can effectively predict the progressive failure in double-notched glass/epoxy composite laminates.
Information Theory, Memory, Prediction, and Timing in Associative Learning
Authors: Wilkes Jason , Gallistel Charles Randy
Published: July 2018

Two information-theoretic principles—maximum entropy, and minimum description length—dictate a computational model of associative learning that explains cue competition (assignment of credit) and response timing. The theory's primitives are two cue types—state cues and point cues—and two stochastic distributions. The preferred stochastic model gives the relative code lengths for an efficient encoding of the data already seen; it predicts the data not yet seen; and the associated hazard function roughly predicts the observed timing of anticipatory (conditioned) behavior. State cues use the exponential distribution to encode, predict and time; point cues use a form of the Gaussian distribution that allows for event failure. An implementation of the refined minimum-description-length approach to stochastic model selection (Rissanen 1999) determines which stochastic model best compresses the data, and hence which is the best predictive model for a given protocol. The model brings into sharp focus the need to focus neurobiological inquiry on the coding question in memory.

The aim of this research is to know the influence of service quality to satisfaction and tourist loyality in Ciater Spa Resort. The method used in this research is descriptive verificative. Method analisis of this research is analisis path with software PLS. The results showed that the quality of service has no significant effect on loyalty, it means that service quality as exogenous variable requires intervening role (variable of satisfaction). Visitor satisfaction at Ciater Spa Resort has a significant effect on visitor loyalty. In addition, the relationship between the two research variables are positive, the increasing customer satisfaction will increase also loyalty, otherwise the decrease in visitor satisfaction will have an impact on the decrease in visitor loyalty. These findings have matched customer loyalty theory in marketing books. So that verifikatif research has been done successfully to verify the theory of loyalty in general. This article at once confirms a model of service theory as well as its relationship with satisfaction and loyalty, while minimizing the possibility of false loyalty so that this model can be used in the implementation of service management.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh kualitas pelayanan terhadap kepuasan dan loyalitas wisatawan di Ciater Spa Resort. Penelitian ini berjenis deskriptif-verifikatif. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis jalur dengan alat bantu sofware Partial Least Square (PLS). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Kualitas pelayanan di Ciater Spa Resort tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap loyalitas, hal ini berarti bahwa kualitas pelayanan sebagai variabel eksogen membutuhkan peran intervening (variabel kepuasan). Sedangkan, kepuasan pengunjung di Ciater Spa Resort berpengaruh signifikan terhadap loyalitas pengunjung. Selain itu hubungan diantara kedua variabel penelitian tersebut adalah positif, maka semakin meningkatnya kepuasan pengunjung akan semakin meningkat pula loyalitasnya, sebaliknya semakin menurunya kepuasan pengunjung akan berdampak terhadap semakin menurunnya loyalitas pengunjung. Penemuan ini telah sesuai teori loyalitas pelanggan dalam buku-buku pemasaran. Sehingga penelitian verifikatif yang telah dilakukan berhasil memverivikasi teori loyalitas secara umum. Artikel ini sekaligus menegaskan sebuah model teori pelayanan serta hubunganya dengan kepuasan dan loyalitas, sekaligus mampu meminimalisir adanya kemungkinan loyalitas semu sehingga model ini dapat dipakai dalam implementasi manajemen pelayanan.

Motivation enhances control of positive and negative emotional distractions
Authors: Walsh Amy Teresa , Carmel David , Harper David , Grimshaw Gina M.
Published: July 2018

Using cognitive control to ignore distractions is essential for successfully achieving our goals. In emotionally-neutral contexts, motivation can reduce interference from irrelevant stimuli by enhancing cognitive control. However, attention is commonly biased towards emotional stimuli, making them potent distractors. Can motivation aid control of emotional distractions, and does it do so similarly for positive and negative stimuli? Here, we examined how task motivation influences control of distraction from positive, negative, and neutral scenes. Participants completed a simple perceptual task while attempting to ignore task-irrelevant images. One group received monetary reward for fast and accurate task performance; another (control) group did not. Overall, both negative (mutilation) and positive (erotic) images caused greater slowing of responses than neutral images of people, but emotional distraction was reduced with reward. Crucially, despite the different motivational directions associated with negative and positive stimuli, reward reduced negative and positive distraction equally. Our findings suggest that motivation may encourage the use of a sustained proactive control strategy that can effectively reduce the impact of emotional distraction.

Published: July 2018

Jordanian postgraduate students and their families came to Malaysia to pursue their postgraduate studies. These families came with their own literacy practices based on their home country social and cultural aspects and they have to adjust and balance their home literacy practices to cope with the new cultural and social aspects in the host country while guarding their own cultural and social aspects. This study aims to explore Jordanian family home literacy practices types and the literacy functions associated with these practices. Twelve open-ended structured questions Interviews, 16 observations and field notes (12 during the interviews and four while sharing social events with the family) and photographs were used to collect the data from the family members over fourteen weeks. The interview questions were adopted from Alshaboul(2004) and adapted to fulfill the study objectives. The findings indicate that reading literacy practices are superior to the writing literacy practices as each main literacy practice has sub literacy practices that served sub literacy functions that eventually led to the main literacy function while the main literacy practice led directly to the main literacy function. The family most frequent and prevalent home literacy practices are social, religious, academic, educational, digital, daily living, geographical and numerical while the less frequent and prevalent home literacy functions are medical and financial. Moreover, the findings indicate that the home literacy practices are dynamic that occurred in multiple, integrated and simultaneous way that led to multiple, integrated and simultaneous literacy functions.
Action perception in infancy: The plasticity of 7-month-olds’ attention to grasping actions
Authors: Daum Moritz M. , Gredebäck Gustaf
Published: July 2018

The present study investigates the plasticity of 7-month-old infants’ orienting of attention during their perception of grasping actions. Previous research has shown that when infants observe a grasping hand, they shift their attention in line with the grasping direction, which is indicated by a reliable priming effect in this direction. The mechanisms behind this priming effect are largely unknown and it is unclear how malleable this priming effect is with respect to a brief exposure to novel action-target contingencies. In a spatial-cueing paradigm, we presented a series of training trials prior to a series of test trials. These training sequences significantly modulated infants’ attention. This suggests that action perception, when assessed through shifts of attention, is not solely based on the infants’ grasping experience but quickly adapts to context-specific observed regularities.
2014. Settlement and Rule in the Eighth-Ninth Centuries: the Arava as a Case Study (Hebrew).
Authors: Nol Hagit
Published: July 2018

The archaeological data from the Arava (Southern Israel/Jordan) suggests massive settlement during the eighth and ninth centuries (the Early Islamic Period), which the literary sources do not mention. The material evidence includes copper industry, a developed agriculture with qanats, and specific architecture. In this study, data from the excavations and surveys in both Jordan and Israel was gathered, and settlement patterns were identified. The Arava patterns of settlement suggest the possibility of the intervention of ruling authorities. First, Early Islamic settlement in the Arava is a one-time phenomenon; Second, advanced technologies were used to exploit the area’s natural resources, and third, the city of Ayla and the courtyard houses are expressions of an administrative architecture. However, this study cannot determine whether the involvement was that of the central government or of local authorities only.

Pariwisata merupakan sektor penting bagi Indonesia ,Karena pariwisata adalah salah satu faktor yang sangat berperan dalam meningkatkan perekonomian bagi masyarakat Indonesia. Dengan hal ini tentunya pemerintah dan masyarakat harus saling bekerjasama dalam meningkatkan promosi, fasilitas, pelayanan, aksesibilitas dan hal lain yang berkenaan dalam pengembangan kawasan wisata untuk menarik minat kunjungan wisatawan. Menurut Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 10 Tahun 2009 tentang kepariwisataan disebutkan bahwa pariwisata adalah berbagai macam kegiatan wisata dan didukung berbagai fasilitas serta layanan yang disediakan oleh masyarakat, pengusaha, pemerintah, dan pemerintah daerahIndonesia mempunyai banyak destinasi yang beragam, salah satunya di Provinsi Kepulauan Riau , yang di setiap kabupatennya terdapat destniasi yang berbeda dan memiliki keunggulan masing-masing.Kabupaten Lingga merupakan kabupaten yang terdapat di Provinsi Kepulauan Riau ,kabupaten Lingga juga dikenal sebagai Bunda Tanah Melayu ,dan pernah menjadi kerajan Johor – Riau pada tanggal 1787 – 1824 M, Selain itu Kabupaten Lingga Juga Mempunyai Adat istiadat yang masih sangat terjaga,dan alam yang masih alami yang bisa dijadikan potensi untuk menarik wisatawan ,Potensi yang ada tentunya belum cukup untuk menarik minat kunjungan wisatawan ,karena ada beberapa faktor yang bisa mempengaruhi minat kunjungan wisatawan contohnya aksesibilitas yang kurang memadai, promosi yang kurang dan fasilitas yang kurang mendukung. Seperti yang dikatan oleh Mill (2000)”accessibilities of the tourist destination”, aksesibilitas sebagai semua yang dapat memberi kemudahan kepada wisatawan untuk datang berkunjung pada suatu daerah tujuan wisata (DTW)Karena letak geografis kabupaten lingga dan kabupaten lain di provinsi Kepulauan Riau dipisahkan oleh lautan dan transportasi yang dapat digunakan untuk menuju kabupaten Lingga hanya dapat menggunakan Kapal dan pesawat perintis tentunya hal ini dapat menentukan keputusan minat berkunjungan wisatawan untuk mengunjung kawasan destinasi di Kabupaten LinggaOleh karena itu dalam artikel ini akan menggali tentang apa pengaruh aksesibilitas terhadap keputusan wisatawan dalam menentukan destinasi yang akan di kunjungi ,khususnya di kawasan destinasi di kabupaten Lingga, dan strategi apa saja yang bisa dilakukan dalam menentukan minat kunjungan wisatawan

In 2011, Gao and Heindl presented a new multivariate public key cryptosystems from Diophantine equations. However, by observing the decryption process, Ding et al. found recently that some special embedded surfaces could be used to decrypt the message efficiently. They showed that the three systems proposed by Gao and Heindl could be broken at the complexity of 252,261 and 252 respectively. But, the attack by Ding et al. can not implemented on a usual PC. It was mainly theoretical and worked only for finite fields of characteristic 2. In this paper, We present a practical attack on this family of multivariate public key cryptosystems. Our attack is implemented on a PC and it works for all finite fields. By doing computer experiments, we find many new lower-degree embedded surfaces which help us to break the cryptosystem.

Food allergy poses a significant clinical and public health burden affecting 2-10% of infants. Using integrated DNA methylation and transcriptomic profiling, we found that polyclonal activation of naïve CD4+ T-cells through the T-cell receptor resulted in poorer lymphoproliferative responses in children with IgE-mediated food allergy. Reduced expression of cell cycle related targets of the E2F and MYC transcription factor networks, and remodeling of DNA methylation at metabolic (RPTOR, PIK3D, MAPK1, FOXO1) and inflammatory genes (IL1R, IL18RAP, CD82) underpins this suboptimal response. Infants who fail to resolve food allergy in later childhood exhibit cumulative increases in epigenetic disruption at T-cell activation genes and poorer lymphoproliferative responses compared to children who resolved food allergy. Our data indicate epigenetic dysregulation in the early stages of signal transduction through the T-cell receptor complex, and likely reflects pathways modified by gene-environment interactions in food allergy.
Primary cilium polarity: morphogenetic consequences.
Authors: Regolini Marco
Published: July 2018

In zebrafish inner ear, hair cell orientation in anterior and posterior maculae of the embryonic otic vesicle is different (about 30-40 degrees): this is rather unusual in planar polarity mechanism of action, instead suggests that kinocilia may be rotationally polarized. In mice node, the innermost monociliated cells generate a left-ward fluid flow sensed by the immotile primary cilia of Left peri-nodal cells: the Nodal signaling pathway is then expressed asymmetrically, in the Left lateral plate mesoderm, breaking symmetry in visceral organs (situs solitus); however, Right peri-nodal cells also, if artificially excited by a right-ward flow, break symmetry and activate the Nodal cascade, though inverting visceral organ asymmetry (situs inversus); surprisingly, peri-nodal cells prove to be adept at distinguishing flow directionality. Recently, in the Kupffer vesicle (the zebrafish laterality organ), chiral primary cilia orientation has been described: primary cilia, in the left and right side, are symmetrically oriented, showing a mirror average divergence of about 15-20 degrees from the midline. This finding, taken together with the mirror behavior of mouse perinodal cells and zebrafish hair cells, champions the idea of primary cilia enantiomerism.

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan bersifat deskriptif analisis. Subyek penelitian adalah anak-anak yang ditelantarkan dengan kategori usia 10 sampai 18 tahun dan orang tua atau keluarga.Dari hasil analisis temuan penelitian didapatkan gambaran bahwa faktor pemicu yang menyebabkan anak terlantar adalah perceraian orang tua dan perlakuan salah yang diterima anak, serta ekonomi keluarga dan pendidikan orang tua yang rendah. Dampak perceraian dan perlakuan salah yang dialami anak menyebabkan hak dan kebutuhan anak terabaikan bahkan tidak terpenuhi secara layak dan optimal. Situasi ini akhirnya mendorong anak melakukan aktivitas di luar rumah dengan menjadi pedagang asongan, tukang cuci kuburan, pekerja rumah tangga dan tukang ojek. Dengan melaksanakan kegiatan atau aktivitas di luar rumah yang menyita waktu dan tenaga, mereka tidak memiliki waktu untuk bersekolah.(Tulisan ini pernah dimuat di Jurnal Insani Vol 3, No 1,Mei 2016
Policy brief for Privately Protected Areas Futures 2017: Supporting the long-term stewardship of privately protected areas
Authors: Selinske Matthew , Hardy Mathew , Gordon Ascelin , Knight Andrew
Published: July 2018

Globally, privately protected areas (PPAs) are an increasingly popular approach to long-term protection of biodiversity on privately owned lands. PPAs provide multiple ecological, social and economic benefits to diverse range of stakeholders in across a range of contexts. These include supporting the desire of landowners to protect conservation values on their land, contributing to national conservation targets, and reducing financial costs of land management togovernments. In addition, they provide opportunities to engage landowners to strengthen community social and conservation values through positive partnerships with governments, NGOs, and other groups. This policy brief explores the key drivers of landowner participation in PPA programs (i.e.covenants, easements, servitudes and other long-term agreements with individuals or groups of landowners) and the program mechanisms that maintain successive generations of landowners to be engaged and committed to long-term stewardship. It also considers the challenges faced by PPA programs in developing and maintaining strong collaborative arrangements between the stakeholders involved in these programs.
The Ideology of American English as Standard English in Taiwan
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Chang Jackie
Published: July 2018

English language teaching and learning in Taiwan usually refers to American English teaching and learning. Taiwan views American English as Standard English. This is a strictly perceptual and ideological issue, as attested in the language school promotional materials that comprise the research data. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was employed to analyze data drawn from language school promotional materials. The results indicate that American English as Standard English (AESE) ideology is prevalent in Taiwan. American English is viewed as correct, superior and the proper English language version for Taiwanese people to compete globally. As a result, Taiwanese English language learners regard native English speakers with an American accent as having the greatest prestige and as model teachers deserving emulation. This ideology has resulted in racial and linguistic inequalities in contemporary Taiwanese society. AESE gives Taiwanese learners a restricted knowledge of English and its underlying culture. It is apparent that many Taiwanese people need tore-examine their taken-for-granted beliefs about AESE.

In a collection development environment characterized by standardized database offerings, the unique resources produced by researchers and faculty members at colleges and universities are likely to gain in prominence. However, success hinges on how easily items in institutional repositories (IR) can be found by users and on how closely associated those items can be to the institution, funding bodies, and other stakeholders that produced them. This is particularly important for securing grants, as many countries and non-profit foundations now require free dissemination of data and knowledge gleaned through publicly funded research. While search engine discovery is an important part of IR strategy, information is not automatically integrated across any systems within the larger university landscape and can therefore be difficult to quantify.
Studies of dissolved carbohydrates (or carbohydrate - like subtances) in an estuarine environment
Authors: Senior William James , Chevolot Lionel

Variations in concentrations of dissolved sugars were studied along the salinity gradient of a smallestuary (Elorn, Bay of Brest, France) from February 1985 to January 1986. Total dissolved carbohydrate(TDCHO) and dissolved monosaccharides (MCHO) were measured by the methods of Burneyand Sieburth and Johnson and Sieburth respectively. It must be noted that these methods cannotdistinguish between carbohydrates and carbohydrate-like substances; consequently, these methodsprobably do not closely reflect biologically available pools of carbohydrates. In the river, TDCHO andMCHO values ranged from 230 to 970 /ig C 1"' and from 75 to 450 ngC\-^ respectively. In theestuary, TDCHO and MCHO were usually lower; they varied respectively from 20 to 570 /zg C 1~'and from 0 to 180/ig C1 '. In June, some TDCHO values were much higher, probably because somepolysaccharide was produced at this time by phytoplankton excretion or lysis.The relationship between Cl%o and TDCHO was dependent on the seasons. TDCHO was conservativein autumn, winter and early spring. TDCHO and DOC concentrations were fairly well correlatedduring the same period. Similar results have been previously reported by various workers. MCHOand TDCHO concentrations were well correlated throughout this study except in June. From theseresults, it was concluded that most dissolved carbohydrates were linked to a conservative fraction ofthe organic matter in periods of low biological activity, whereas newly biosynthesised carbohydrateswere responsible for non-conservative behaviour.
Harvesting Experience to Support Sustainable Urban Water Management

The urban population exceeded the rural population for the first time in 2007. This megatrend has put increasing stress on urban water supplies and urban water management (UWM). In response to challenges posed by shifting demographics and aging infrastructure in industrialized countries and severe infrastructure deficits in rapidly-growing cities in low- and middle-income countries, sustainable UWM (SUWM) is being developed and implemented. SUWM encompasses a portfolio of approaches that includes: recovery of water, energy and nutrients from wastewater; expansion of potential sources (e.g., stormwater) for water supply; matching water quality (and hence treatment) to intended use, partial system decentralization; and using both “gray” (i.e., fully-engineered) and “green” partially-engineered infrastructure. To benefit from the expanding experience with SUWM, effective channels are needed for information exchange, which could serve to promote the uptake of practices with demonstrated success. Knowledge platforms should take advantage of recent advances in information technology to combine increased access, reliability and ease of use with responsible curation to ensure the quality of information and avoid conflicts of interest.
"Ich bin stolz auf dich." Über die Bedeutung und die bedingenden Faktoren von Stellvertreterstolz
Authors: Horsten Luisa K.
Published: July 2018

AbstractResearch generally agrees that pride is the result of a positive self-evaluation concerning a specific behavior or achievement. The behavior or achievement needs to be internally attributed, relevant for the own self-concept and congruent with goals in order to lead to pride. Being proud of someone else hardly seems to fulfill these prerequisites, yet it is common linguistic use to express pride of one’s child, spouse, friend or even a famous person. This emotion is commonly referred to as vicarious pride which implies that it might be a shared emotion instead of one’s own pride.So what is vicarious pride exactly? Is it indeed a vicarious experience of pride or do other mechanisms play their parts? This study aims to explore in which situations people experience vicarious pride and which factors contribute to this emotion.Using a 2x2 between-subjects design, main effects for both relationship to the other person and involvement in their achievement were found. Furthermore sympathetic emotions appear to play a key role in experiencing vicarious pride. This study provides interesting first insights into vicarious pride and indicates a direction for further research.ZusammenfassungBisherige Forschung ist sich einig, dass Stolz das Ergebnis einer positiven Evaluation einer eigenen Leistung oder eines eigenen Erfolges ist. Diese Leistung oder Erfolg muss dafür internal attribuiert werden, relevant für das Selbstkonzept und kongruent mit eigenen Zielen sein, um Stolz hervorzurufen. Es ist nicht erkennbar, wie dies erfüllt sein kann, wenn man auf eine andere Person stolz ist. Dennoch ist es im deutschen Sprachgebrauch üblich zu sagen, dass man auf sein Kind, seinen Partner oder Partnerin, oder sogar auf eine berühmte Person stolz ist. Diese Empfindung wird als Stellvertreterstolz bezeichnet, was impliziert, dass es sich um eine geteilte Emotion handelt.Doch was genau ist Stellvertreterstolz? Ist es tatsächlich eine stellvertretene Empfindung von Stolz oder spielen hier andere Mechanismen mit hinein? Diese Studie hat zum Ziel, zu untersuchen, in welchen Situationen Stellvertreterstolz erlebt wird und welche Faktorenzu dieser Empfindung beitragen.Mithilfe eines 2x2 between-subjects Designs wurden Haupteffekte sowohl für die Nähe zur anderen Person als auch für einen eigenen Beitrag zu ihrem Erfolg gefunden. Zusätzlich scheint Anteilnahme eine Schlüsselrolle im Empfinden von Stellvertreterstolz zu spielen.Diese Studie verschafft einen interessanten ersten Einblick in Stellvertreterstolz und bietet Anhaltspunkte für zukünftige Forschung.

Assessment of Chemical and Biological Parameters in Sorghum-Wheat Cropping Sequence under Long Term Fertilization - A Review
Authors: Mitnala Jayalakshmi
Published: July 2018

Continuous addition of chemical fertilizers poses problems like toxicity due to high amounts of salts as residues of fertilizer and deterioration of the physico-chemical properties. Organic manure ameliorates this problem as organic matter helps in increasing adsorptive power of soil for cations and anions particularly phosphate and nitrate. The continuous use of chemical fertilizers over a long period may cause imbalance in the microbial population and there by indirectly affect the biological properties. The microbial biomass, which is the total sum of all microorganisms present in soil, serves as a temporary sink for nutrients including nitrogen and can be considered as an index of soil fertility. Soil harbours dynamic population of microorganisms, which play major role in decomposition of organic matter and transformation of plant nutrients. The availability of organically bounded nitrogen through transformation in soil to the plant mainly depends on the population of microorganisms, which may be influenced by the application of inorganic fertilizers and organic manure.
