Authors: A V RAMANJANEYULU  , P RAJAIAH
Published: February 2024

Mechanization in oilseed crops help in efficient utilization of time, labour, fertilizers, water and timely completion of agronomic operations, reduce drudgery and wastage thus augment production efficiency. However, mechanization index (MI) in oilseed crops is low i.e. 32.52% for rapeseed and mustard, 26.4% for soybean, 11.83% for groundnut as compared to that of wheat (40.77%). As better crop yield are recorded in states with higher MI, efforts must be to design and develop cost effective machinery from seed to seed mechanization and also oil extraction in oilseeds crops in all the states.

There is a common belief that the Armenian name Davit (Դավիթ) is a slightly phonetic modification of the Jewish name David, which means beloved, lover. However, the popularity of the name both in the West and in the East is not a necessary condition for assuming that the Armenian form is also borrowed. By looking for the roots of the name, it is noticeable that the two versions of the name were common among Armenians: Davit and Tavit. Which of these is the oldest? Is it a problem of pronunciation, what does the Armenian version of the name mean - these are the questions discussed in the article.

In the second half of the 1970’s, the internal political situation in the Republic of Turkey remained tense. Larger and larger masses of the population of Turkey were joining leftist views. The situation became more complicated when the public and the political forces of the national minorities, such as ASALA or the Kurdish Workers' Party, also joined them. The Turkish military leadership incited right-wing nationalist groups under its influence to clash with the leftist parties to create chaos in the country, and then to create a demand for a "strong hand" among the Turkish public in order to carry out a military coup and stop the influence of the socialists and the Soviet Union. Members of nationalist group «Bozkurt» Abdullah Chatli, Oral Chelik and Mehmed Ali Aghja killed several socialists in Ankara in 1978 and in the next year – socialist Abdi Ipekchi, who was the editor of “Milliyet»” newspaper and then moved to Europe. In 1981 Mehmed Ali Aghja carried out an assassination attempt othe Pope.

The Armenian language has been greatly influenced by Russian especially after the unification of Eastern Armenia with Russia in 1828. The connection between a nation and its history is unarguable and the history of any nation leaves its mark on the language. In this sense political, economic, cultural relations with neighboring nations are important, as a result of which languages borrow many words from each other. Among the borrowed words there are a certain number of exoticisms that indicate objects, phenomena and customs specific to a particular nation or country. Usually, they are used when it comes to culture-specific concepts characteristic of a given nation. The article considers some exoticisms transferred from and through Russian into Armenian, which are classified into the following semantic groups: accommodation-residence-area, art-literature, mode of address-address, political directions, clothes, common words.

Ecocentrism, Harm and Morality in Environmental Crime Proceedings
Authors: White Rob
Published: February 2024

Ecocentrism is a perspective that views nature as having value in and of itself and for its own sake. This translates into specific kinds of legal approach and decision-making. This article explores how broad ecocentric principles are put into practice in criminal proceedings dealing with environmental crime. The focus of the article is the ways in which courts undertake ecocentric approaches to criminal breaches of law. Of special interest is how notions of ‘harm’ and ‘morality’ pertaining to non-human environmental entities such as rivers, trees and specific ecosystems are interpreted by judicial officers during criminal proceedings. From an ecocentric perspective, this process requires specialist expertise so that the ecological dimensions of harm and morality pertaining to criminal breaches of law can be fully assessed and appropriate sanctions applied.
Evaluation of Risk Factors for Children with Severe Adenovirus Respiratory Infection: Retrospective Study
Authors: Liu Xian , Ding Yiyi , Hu Rong , Tang Hongyan
Published: February 2024

Background: Human adenovirus (HAdV) commonly affects children hospitalized with any form of respiratory infection (RI). Severe HAdV infection leads to one of the most serious types of infantile RI, with rapidly progressive illness and a poor prognosis. Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels and the severity of HAdV RI in children. Methods: We collected clinical data from 665 cases of HAdV RI in children hospitalized at the pediatric ward of Changde First People's Hospital between January and December 2019. We analyzed the relationship between AST levels and disease severity. Results: Of the 665 HAdV-positive cases, 89.8% were < 6 years of age. Among them, upper RI was diagnosed in 18.8% of cases, bronchiolitis in 4.8%, and mild pneumonia in 48.1%. Severe pneumonia was observed in 28.2% of cases. The 665 patients in the cohort were divided into a mild group (n = 477 cases, 71.73%) and a severe group (n = 188 cases, 28.27%). Univariate analysis showed that children with severe HAdV RI had a lower age of onset and lower hemoglobin and serum albumin levels while having higher platelet counts, lactic acid dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, creatine kinase isoenzyme, alanine aminotransferase, and AST levels compared to those with mild infections (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that these factors were related to disease severity (P < 0.05). The ROC curve analysis indicated that the area under the AST curve was 0.782. When the intercept value was 52.5 U/L, the sensitivity was 60.6%, and the specificity was 83.4%. Conclusions: Serum AST levels can serve as a predictor of adenoviral RI severity in children.
Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Nosocomial and Community-Acquired Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Isfahan: A Prospective Multicenter Study
Authors: Mostafavi Esfahani Sayed Nassereddin , Rostami Soodabeh , Amini Zahra
Published: February 2024

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous bacillus responsible for severe infections in inpatients, especially nosocomial and intensive care unit (ICU) infections. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of clinical isolates from inpatients in three referral hospitals in Isfahan, Iran. Methods: Standard tests identified the organism and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Stratification was performed by place of infection (community, hospital), admission ward (ICU, non-ICU), and age group (< 20 versus > 20 years). Results: Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed high susceptibility to colistin (100%) and amikacin (81.8%) followed by tobramycin (69.2%), ciprofloxacin (68.5%), meropenem (67.2%), cefepime (65.7%), ceftazidime (64.3%), and imipenem (63.3%). Community-acquired strains were significantly more susceptible to meropenem (81.6%), ciprofloxacin (77.1%), cefepime (77.1%), imipenem (74.3%), and ceftazidime (72.2%) than nosocomial strains. Non-ICU isolates were more susceptible to carbapenems. Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates had higher antibiotic susceptibility in less than 20 years. Conclusions: Based on the results, a combination of colistin and amikacin would be appropriate for the empiric treatment of suspected P. aeruginosa infections in severe cases, nosocomial infections, or patients admitted to ICU. Ceftazidime, cefepime, ciprofloxacin, meropenem, or imipenem would be suitable for mild to moderate infections, especially in community-acquired infections.
Property and “le Propre”
Authors: Kroth Lilian ,   Center for Environmental Philosophy, The University of North Texas
Published: February 2024

This paper is concerned with Michel Serres’s critique of property. Through the concept of ‘le propre,’ which in French can mean both ‘clean’ and ‘one’s own,’ and a naturalist reading of Rousseau, he proposes a ‘stercorian’ eco-criticism of property. Focusing on concepts of limits provides a fruitful angle from which to illuminate Serres’s critique of law and property. The first section will introduce Serres as a thinker of limits, borders, and boundaries. In the second and third parts, attention will be drawn to his eco-criticism of law and property from a feminist and philosophy of science perspective, concluding with a fourth part, in which Serres’s approach will be contextualized in relation to other naturalisms. His work has far-reaching consequences for discourses of human agency in the context of the Anthropocene and makes a crucial contribution to how a new naturalist criticism of property might be conceived.

Lombok Women: Dynamics, Transformation, and Socio-Economic Realities in the Family
Authors: Fatanah Ahmad , Rasyidi Abdul Haris
Published: February 2024

This article explores empirical insights into the role of women in Lombok society. The increasing responsibility of meeting family needs is examined through various analyses, notably sociological analysis. In many cases, Lombok women balance dual roles: as homemakers and as contributors to the family's everyday needs. This research employs a qualitative descriptive methodology with a phenomenological approach to comprehend the nuanced experiences and meanings attached to specific situations. Participants’ insights provide invaluable perspectives, facilitating a deeper exploration of the subjects under study. Data analysis utilizes sociological frameworks to elucidate the evolving social status of women in Lombok societies. The findings illustrate a dynamic socio-economic transformation among Lombok women, reflecting the growing significance of their contributions to family welfare. This transformation is driven by heightened daily living expenses, prompting a shift from traditional homemaker roles to becoming pivotal economic pillars within their families. Moreover, instances where wives possess higher educational attainment than their husbands underscore significant shifts in life dynamics and socio-economic structures.

Problems that occur from the order side are errors in recording or taking customer orders. This can result in incorrect order delivery or customers who are dissatisfied with the service. If the booking system is inefficient, the booking may take too long to process. The implementation of ordering and payment systems using Quick Response Code (QR Code) technology and First in First Out (FIFO) methods has delivered significant results in improving operational efficiency and customer experience. The use of QR Codes allows customers to easily scan codes on menus or products they order using their mobile devices. This reduces the time it takes to order food or products and avoids human error in ordering. Based on the results of the recapitulation of the 6 test criteria that have been carried out, the results of the number of answers from respondents are obtained which have a value of 100% in accordance with testing system functionality using blackbox testing. The results of processing respondent response data based on ISO 25010 aspects of Performance Efficiency, Operability Aspects, and Functional Efficiency Aspects obtained a total score of 85.47%. Based on this, the ISO 25010 prototype is very good for ordering systems using Web-Based Quick Response Code (QR Code) and First in First out (FIFO) Technology.

Biology of the Ringneck Snake, Diadophis punctatus, in Florida
Authors: Myers Charles W.
Published: February 2024

Two geographic color varieties of the ringnack snake, Diadophis punctatus punctatus (Linnaeus), occur in Florida. Snakes in the Peninsula are characterized by reddish subcaudal surfaces and by the curious trait of tail-coiling when disturbed; the snakes occupying extreme northern Florida have yellow subcaudal surfaces and do not tail-coil. In the intergrade zone the subcaudals vary from yellow through red and some yellow-tailed individuals will tail-coil. The color red and the associated tail-coil display are considered relict characters in Gulf Coastal ringneck snakes. Ways are enumerated whereby tail-coiling may serve an aposematic function. The almost universal occurrence of the color red in snakes that have tail-flash displays suggests the behavior may have been developed against birds; most other potential predators lack red vision. Diadophis punctatus has been found in practically all the major terrestrial habitats in Florida, although most commonly in low, wet, pine flatwoods. Main factors determining the species' ecological distribution and population density seem to be food and degree of moisture in the microhabitat. Significant size differences in snakes of two different populations may be related to availability of food. Microhabitat associates in two different habitats are considered, and known and supposed coactions discussed. Other snakes are probably the most important predators and competitors for food and space. The sex ratio in adults, at least, is 1:1. The gonads are bilaterally asymmetrical in position and usually in size. The testes are smallest in winter and spring. Spermatogenesis is initiated in the spring and cellular proliferation is greatest in summer. Spermatozoa released from the testis in late summer and fall are stored in the ductus deferens throughout most of the year. The largest ovarian eggs increased from approximately 3 mm in April to a near maximum of 24 mm in July when they were in the oviducts. Eggs are probably laid from late May or June into August; females probably lay each year; the time of mating is not known. Both sexes are thought to be sexually mature by their second spring. The male secondary sex characters-anal ridges and greatly enlarged kidney tubules-become apparent about when the spermatozoa are formed. A series of prehatching stages is briefly described. Males carry the hemipenes in tbe functional (everted) position until at least 28 days before hatching. Ventral markings are not apparent until after the dorsum becomes lightly pigmented. The unpigmented dorsal scale pits are the last structures to become discernible.

The fourth installment of the Catalogue of Fossil Birds includes 11 orders and 36 families, from the sandgrouse through the woodpeckers in the Wetmorean system. The four parts now published have treated the fossil record of all but one of the orders of birds (Passeriformes). They cover 132 families (38 extinct and 94 living), 744 genera (404 paleogenera and 340 neogenera), and 1,522 species (898 paleospecies and 624 neospecies). The following are proposed new taxa of fossil birds: family Zygodactylidae for Zygodactylus Ballmann in order Piciformes; subfamily Apopempsidae and genus Apopempsis for Musophaga meini Ballmann in family Musophagidae, genus Eostrix for Protostrix mimica Wetmore in family Protostrigidae. Aegialornis leehnardti Gaillard is emended to Aegialornis leenhardti, as the specific name honors Prof. F. Leenhardt of the University of Toulouse. In the linear sequence the Cuculiformes precede the Psittaciformes to bring the parrots next to the owls, with which they share many characteristics. On grounds of priority the following subfamily names replace those in Peters' Check-List: Ptilinopinae (Selby, 1835) for Treroninae Gray, 1840; Coccyginae (Swainson, 1837) for Phaenicophaeinae (Gray, 1840); Geococcyginae (Reichenow, 1882) fo Neomorphinae Shelley, 1891, Atelornithinae Bonaparte, 1854, for Brachypteraciinae Sharpe, 1892.
Behavioral Ecology of Basking in the Yellow-bellied Turtle, Chrysemys scripta scripta (Shoepff)
Authors: Auth David L.
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study is to determine if basking in turtles is thermoregulatory and to describe the attendant behavior. Observations were made from a blind on a marked population of Chrysemys scripta scripta (Schoepff) and an unmarked population of Chrysenigs floridana peninsularis Carr at a north Florida sinkhole pond. The study was conducted between August and December, 1968, thus providing a wide range of environmental temperatures and sunshine in which to obserte any variations in basking behavior. The number of atmospherically-basking C. s. scripta and C. f peninsularis per day, as well as the number of times individual C s. scripta basked per day, reached a peak at a daily mean water temperature of 28.5°C. Basking decreased during overcast periods. Aquatic basking in C. s. scripta and C. f peninsularis increased as water temperature approached 31.5°C, the maximum mean water temperature recorded during the experimental period. Temperature-telemetry revealed that an adult basking scripta could elevate its body temperature at least 10°C above near-surface water temperatures. Because of decreased sunshine and air and water temperatures from August to December, and the resultant slower rate of body temperature rise, mean basking duration in C. s. scripta increased during those months. Basking duration is also directly related to body size. Basking does not appear to be a daily requirement, even under optimum weather conditions. Some C. s. scripta basked up to five times a day in favorable weather; however, a considerable percentage of the population did not bask every day. Basking activity started about 0800 and reached a daily maximum between 1000 and 1100 each clear day in August and September. The time at which activity started and the time it reached a daily maximum shifted to a later part of the day during October and November. Thermoregulation appears to be the primary function of the basking act in C. s. scripta and C. f peninsularis. This conclusion is based on the following basking behavioral patterns: 1) body orientatign, head and leg extension and retraction, leg kicking, and rear-foot digit spreading; 2) remaining on a site for considerable periods of time after it becomes shaded and the turtle's body temperature has increased, but rarely emerging at an already shaded site; 3) varying frequency and inversely varying duration with decreasing air and water temperatures and sunshine (shown for C. s. scripta only); and 4) sitting on submerged basking sites or floating in warm surface water.

Four subfamilies are recognized, two of them new. Of the 43 genera diagnosed, 10 were previously recognized, 3 previously synonymized, 1 is elevated from a subgenus, and 29 are new. Nine new species are described and figured. Altogether 187 species are cited.
Systematics of Lesser Antillean Lizards of the Genus Sphaerodactylus
Authors: King Wayne
Published: February 2024

Poor descriptions, resulting in the misapplication of names, and the unneeded multiplicity of recognized forms has confused the taxonomy of the lizard genus Sphaerodactylus in the Lesser Antilles. Examination of specimens available from the area shows eight species to occur. Each is described and illustrated, and its known range listed. The presence of two species in the type series of S. sputator necessitates the designation and description of a lectotype. Two new races, S. macrolepis parvus and S. fantasticus ligniservulus are described from the northern Lesser Antilles. S. festus is treated as a subspecies of S. vincenti and is shown to include variation thought distinctive of S. monilifer. The sphaerodactyls of the Lesser Antilles are believed to have immigrated into the islands from continental South America. The most probable means of dispersal available to them is rafting.
How Many Species of Birds Have Existed?
Authors: Brodkorb Pierce
Published: February 2024

The present world avifauna is composed of about 8650 species. During the Pleistocene and late Tertiary the avifauna was larger, with about 11,600 species living at any given time. Before the adoption of the granivorous habit in the mid-Tertiary, the avifauna was smaller, with an estimated 10,200 contemporaneous species. The Crataceous avifauna consisted mainly of aquatic birds and contained about 1000 contemporaneous species. In the late Jurassic the avifauna was negligible, with probably not more than 100 species existing at any one time. The average longevity of avian species is considered to be the equivalent of the time needed to replace half the fauna. Based on the rate of extinction in Pleistocene faunas, the average longevity is estimated at about 500,000 years. Multiplying the number of contemporaneous species by the duration of a given epoch and dividing by the average species longevity gives the number of species evolved during that epoch. Addition of the epochal totals gives the number of species that have existed since the origin of class Aves. This is estimated to be about 1,684,000 species. The described living and fossil birds total about one-half of one percent of those potentially knowable.

The Effects of Human Capital Development, Employee Coaching and Career Support on Organisational Commitment among Employees in Lagos, Nigeria
Authors: Okeke Samuel , Elegbede Tunde
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the effect of human capital development, employee coaching, and career support on organisational commitment among employees at Union Bank Plc, Lagos, Nigeria. The study employed a cross-sectional design with purposive and random sampling. Data were analysed based on 169 respondents from the Ilupeju branch of Union Bank Nigeria Plc, Lagos, by using a self-administered questionnaire. The sample for the study was determined using the Yamane formula, and the data obtained from the respondents were analysed using descriptive statistics involving frequency and percentage for the respondents’ socio-demographic characteristics, while multiple regression analysis through SPSS was used to test the formulated hypotheses. The study found that human capital development (p = 0.768 > 0.05) and employee coaching (p = 0.557 > 0.05) do not significantly affect organisational commitment. However, employees’ career development (p = 0.02 < 0.05) significantly affects organisational commitment. The study, therefore, recommends that the management of banks should not only invest adequately in developing their human capital to enhance their skills and competence in work operations but also ensure their conversion to full-time or permanent employees to make them feel that the bank has invested in their development and is also concerned about their stability in the organisation and therefore increase their organisational commitment.

Published: February 2024

With the emergence of Education 4.0, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used and integrated in higher education institutions in recent years. It is hardly surprising as we are living in the era of digital technologies and a transformational shift in the educational system. This conceptual article proposes a study on adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education among undergraduate students. Drawing from the Theoretical model of The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this study aims to examine the influence between the key variables in the UTAUT model such as performance expectation, effort expectation, social influence and facilitating conditions on attitudes and behavioral intention towards AI adoption in higher education institutions. This study will utilize quantitative research design using Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to analyze the data. It becomes central to investigate such AI adoption tendency among students as this will aid the institutions to tap into the potential problems and opportunities that may arise with its adoptions and usage. This study also attempts to clarify the potential linkages by engaging in a discussion prior to conducting empirical testing.

Published: February 2024

LoRa (Long Range) and LPWA ( Low Power Wide Area) networks represent wireless communication technologies, specially designed for the needs of the Internet of Things (IoT). LoRa is a specific technology within the LPWA category. These networks make it possible to connect a large number of devices over long distances with minimal energy consumption. Key features include long reach, low latency, energy efficiency and the ability to connect devices from different manufacturers. Applications include smart cities, agriculture, industry, healthcare and energy. The success of these technologies in Bosnia and Herzegovina depends on various factors, including regulatory framework support, user understanding, investment in infrastructure, and cooperation between the public and private sectors. Further development is expected with a focus on increasing capacity, interoperability, security and application in different sectors, which will contribute to the growing adoption of IoT technologies. The implementation of LoRA and LPWA networks requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes aspects of communication technology, hardware, security and software. It is important to carefully plan, test and maintain the network to ensure its effectiveness and stability over time.
