Inversión extrajera directa como estrategia de crecimiento en México y su impacto sobre el ingreso nacional y la desigualdad
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Vaca Medina Jesús , Vaca Medina Gustavo ,   Universidad de Guadalajara, Mora Pérez Cesar Omar ,   Universidad de Guadalajara
Published: February 2024

Las bases del capitalismo y del libre mercado marcan que el crecimiento económico sostenido impactará en el largo plazo de manera directa en sociedades más prósperas e igualitarias. México, así como muchos países de América Latina, ha optado por la estrategia de la inversión extranjera directa como fuente de empleos y de crecimiento económico en el corto plazo con el objeto de aprovechar el dividendo demográfico, sacrificando de esta manera el bienestar y desarrollo de la población y de las clases vulnerables en el largo plazo. Esto se ha visto evidenciado en la decreciente proporción del ingreso nacional sobre la producción y en la clara reducción de la capacidad recaudatoria que incentiva el incremento de la deuda y perjudica la salud de las finanzas públicas a consecuencia de los programas fiscales para este tipo de inversión.

Sin embargo, la realidad se ha impuesto y llevamos ya cuatro cierres de sexenio en condiciones socioeconómicas de recesión e inestabilidad .
The ecology of ageing in wild societies: linking age structure and social behaviour in natural populations
Authors: Woodman Joe , Gokcekus Samin , Beck Kristina , Green Jonathan , Nussey Daniel , Firth Josh
Published: February 2024

The age of individuals has consequences not only for their fitness and behaviour, but also for the functioning of the groups they form. Because social behaviour often changes with age, population age structure is expected to shape the social organisation, the social environments individuals experience, and the operation of social processes within populations. Although research has explored changes in individual social behaviour with age, particularly in controlled settings, there is limited understanding of how age structure governs sociality in wild populations. Here, we synthesise previous research into age-related effects on social processes in natural populations, and discuss the links between age structure, sociality and ecology, specifically focusing on how population age structure might influence social structure and functioning. We highlight the potential for using empirical data from natural populations in combination with social network approaches to uncover pathways linking individual social ageing, population age structure and societal functioning. We discuss the broader implications of these insights for understanding the social impacts of anthropogenic effects on animal population demography, and for building a deeper understanding of societal ageing in general.
Owning a Room of One’s Own: On the Female Self-Construction in All Passion Spent
Authors: Wang Qinhui
Published: February 2024

All Passion Spent is British novelist Vita Sackville-West’s masterpiece, an early work that embodies feminist ideas by telling the story of eighty-eight-year-old Mrs Slane, who rejects her children’s arrangement after her husband’s death and insists on choosing to live alone in a house of her own. The novel demonstrates how women under the patriarchal system are gradually being othered, as well as to get rid of this predicament, and explores the way out for women’s freedom and liberation. This work has been hailed as the novel version of the feminist manifesto A Room of One’s Own. The article mainly focuses on three aspects, namely the loss of the female self, the reconstruction of the female self and the inheritance of the female self in All Passion Spent, to explore the feminist thoughts in this novel. Vita not only intends to dig out the material and spiritual dilemmas faced by women but also her exploration and construction of female subjective status and female self, which provides women with a certain amount of spiritual power to know themselves, remake themselves, and realize their self-worth.
A Textual Analysis of Creative Multimedia Approaches in Tamil Movie Title Posters
Authors: Komalata Manokaran , Shyi Nian Ong
Published: February 2024

Creative multimedia refers to integrating different media elements, such as text, graphics, audio, video, animation, and interactive elements to convey a message, tell a story, or evoke emotions in a visually compelling and engaging way. Formation of Tamil movie titles is a crucial process of moviemaking because the director intends to reveal the essence of the movie itself, like a title of a journal article. Tamil cinema, also known as Kollywood, has faced a lot of controversies, and one of them is choosing the title of a film. These days, directors concentrate on movie titles with creative ideas to reach audiences. Therefore, this study intends to 1) analyse creative multimedia approaches in Tamil movie title posters and 2) reveal the meaning and storyline of the film from Tamil movie title posters. This descriptive qualitative study used Tamil movie titles (English version posters) using purposive sampling from the production’s official pages. The data support the findings of the formation of Tamil movie titles collaborating with creative multimedia approaches using textual analysis. Lately, directors or designers have been using creative multimedia approaches to attract the audience’s interest in the movie’s title from pre-production until release. The study disclosed that symbols and creative multimedia approaches became interesting domains to keep the titles intact. The findings help to extract the storyline by inserting creative multimedia into the titles so that the audience can presume the storyline, which attracts their attention and draws them into the theatres.
FOMO effect: social media and online traders
Authors: Ivantchev Boyan , Ivantcheva Madlen
Published: February 2024

The pervasive and omnipresent penetration of the Internet in our lives is inevitably changing our behaviour and the financial industry as such. This study discusses the psychological phenomenon known as the ‘Fear of Missing Out’ (FOMO) by elucidating its psychological basis and definition and why and how its effects are amplified under the influence of social media and social trading media. The study will demonstrate how FOMO and human interaction with social media and social trading networks can lead to irrational decision-making, financial risk-taking, and harm to personal and family wealth and psychological well-being. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing these effects and making more rational and informed choices in trading and investment to avoid gambling behaviour, copy investing, and trading, following the traders in the social trading network, which leads to excessive risk-taking. This study aims to utilize the advancements in behavioural finance and neural processes to explain the mechanism and impact of FOMO, trying to give a basis to safeguard individual e-traders from financial market errors and protect their personal and family wealth.
Weather derivatives: general overview, legal, tax, and application issues
Authors: Shylov Maksym
Published: February 2024

Weather derivatives are exchange traded (ETD) or over-the-counter (OTC) call to option or swap contracts that are triggered in the specified weather event. Nowadays, acute weather events lead to increasing popularity of such risk hedging instruments. In this article the author presents a brief overview of the nature of weather derivatives, their applicability in various industries, available information on traded volumes, legal framework, taxation, pricing and basis risk, impact on financial resilience of investors. Comparing to the US market, weather derivatives are still not so commonly used in the EU. On the other hand, the obligatory implementation of new EU corporate sustainability standards and the underling TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures) methodology will definitely increase weather risk awareness at least among large and public listed companies. Therefore, the growth of the demand for weather risk transfer tools is expected. In conclusion, next steps should be taken towards the improvement of the functioning of weather derivatives markets in response to the continuing trend of climate change.
When the Couple is Not Enough, or When the Couple is Too Much: Exploring the Meaning and Management of Open Relationships
Authors: McCann Damian
Published: February 2024

Given the existence of open and polyamorous relationships within society, this paper is concerned with challenging the predominant valorisation of the closed monogamous couple relationship that is so much at the heart of couple psychoanalytic theory and practice. It offers a critique of the diverse range of relationship structures and formats as well as the particular issues that can arise within open and closed relationships. The paper examines aspects of psychoanalytic couple theory with regard to a gay male couple grappling with issues pertaining to their open relationship and questions the extent to which therapists' reliance on heteronormative assumptions embodied within the theory assists such couples. Indeed, assumptions underpinning the theory itself may encompass a view that non-normative coupling, by its very nature, is pathological. The author maintains that people within open and poly relationships who present for therapy have a paramount need to meet with an understanding, accepting, and openminded therapist capable of embracing specific challenges about which these couples seek help. At the same time, some of the more destructive aspects of the internal workings of both closed and open couple relationships are questioned and examined.

The paper includes vignettes and a comparison between aspects of object relations and link theories.
Developing Leadership in a Social Care Enterprise: Managing Organisational and Individual Boundaries and Anxiety: An Action Learning Approach to Leadership Development
Authors: Laughlin Richard , Sher Mannie
Published: February 2024

Leadership discourse is a predominant influence within the literature of management and organisations. Business schools, leadership development programmes, and in-house training events all stress the role of the manager as leader, with some seeing this as the primary role of senior management (Western, 2008).
Most leadership literature and practice roots itself in the corporate, for-profit, sector, with little written specifically about the needs and differences of leading within the not-for-profit and social care environments. If any-thing, the implication is that corporate-style approaches are universally applicable, with social care leaders being encouraged to adopt these within their own organisations (Myers and Sacks, 2004).
The UK’s not-for-profit social care sector is presently undergoing a transition as market forces and public expectations place pressure on the type and nature of services provided by organisations and also on their corresponding structure and management. As the sector and organisations change, so do the requirements for leadership, with leaders and leadership structures being required to act and function in ways that go beyond traditional third sector roles and responsibilities.
This paper proposes that the complexity of the social care environment and the humanitarian nature of such organisations’ mission require that leadership development activities in the sector apply a more subtle and considered approach than that seen in more commercial and transactional organisations. This is especially true when considering the potential impact on ‘leadership of the anxiety and emotional involvement’ experienced by staff working with individuals, families, and communities exhibiting severe physical and psychological trauma.
Organisational Mistrust: Exploring the Issues, Pondering Its Fate …
Authors: Grady James , Grady Victoria
Published: February 2024

‘Sociologists have finally discovered that without trust, an everyday social life [that we can depend on] is simply not possible’.

(Good, 1999, p. ix)

Whether it is in international affairs, politics, business, or family matters, whether it is justified or unjustified, real or imagined, a general feeling of suspicion and mistrust is everywhere. As if some more tangible verification is needed, an examination of the titles of books on hand at The George Washington University Gelman Library lists a total of 504 books in their stacks on the topic of organisational trust. Of those books, 406 have been published since 2000, and fifty-one were published just in the last year. To further justify a relatively recent escalation in concern with mistrust, Burkard Sievers stated, ‘The ongoing dominant concern for trust also reflects ambiguity on the part of organizational theorists … [who] lack the courage to face and acknowledge the "heart of darkness" (Joseph Conrad) of organizational life’ (2003, pp. 20-21).

It is the position of this paper that many of the reasons for a widespread sense of organisational mistrust are hidden in the unconscious realm. Our primary intention is not to consider new information relating to the causes of this mistrust, but to explore through the lens of a new perspective some likely overlooked explanations that may lie buried within this heart of darkness. In this effort we will focus our speculations on interconnections that may exist in chains of thought from individual and organisational psychology that have previously met with some degree of acceptance, but that may not have yet become associated with this culture of mistrust. We will then suggest a preliminary image of the model that if and when refined may someday lead us to a dependable method for bringing matters from the unconscious into consciousness.
Hero-making as a Defence against the Anxiety of Responsibility and Risk: A Case Study of US Airways Flight 1549
Authors: Fraher Amy
Published: February 2024

By examining US Airways Flight 1549's glider-like landing on New York City's Hudson River on 15 January 2009, this article contributes to a deeper understanding of the psycho- and socio-analytic aspects of American culture. Using system psychodynamics as a conceptual framework, the essay uses this case study to demonstrate how individual psychology, group dynamics, and systemic influences intertwined to tap a collective societal need for a traditional male hero to salve the cultural disillusionment created by corporate scandals, executive greed, job loss, and terrorist attacks in post- 9/11 America. Understanding how this phenomenon occurred helps us grapple with psycho-cultural factors that favour searching for a saviour over recognising collective responsibilities that encourage more collaborative approaches to crisis decision making.
Is Woman the Future of Man?: An Exploration of the Potential of Women in the Knowledge Economy and of the Problem of Gender Inequality in the Workplace
Authors: Reciniello Shelley
Published: February 2024

The knowledge economy of the twenty-first century has need of the particular talents women possess to fulfil its promise. Although women make up half of the workers in the developed world, they remain in the minority in executive positions that could have the influence and contribution of the female perspective. The gender inequality that persists in organisations continues to create working environments where women are not able to make a differential contribution. The author has focused on research and consulting projects with financial institutions which provide an example of polarised gender dynamics resistant to change. The difficulties of the present-day economy and recent financial collapse point to a one-sidedness in our culture that harms both men and women. Drawing from contemporary and modern psychoanalytic theories, the importance of culture on the psychology of gender is emphasised. The author presents that certain aspects of each gender are idealised and others are split off and projected according to cultural prescriptions / proscriptions creating a stasis of forced separation. The result is that men dominate organisations and women struggle for ways to participate. And when they focus on fitting in, women lose their voices and unique perspectives. The author argues for the importance of helping women to make more of a contribution to work and the world we live in. Without the equal contribution of women, half of all knowledge is lost.
Global Dynamics at the Dawn of 2012
Authors: Stapley Lionel , Rickman Chrissie
Published: February 2024

On or about 11th January 2012, under the guidance and coordination of OPUS, Listening Posts aimed at providing a snapshot of the societal dynamics of each country at the dawn of 2012, were held in twenty six different countries around the world (Argentina, Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Denmark (2 reports), Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy (2 Reports), Latvia, Norway, Peru, Poland, Serbia, South Africa (2 Reports), Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK & USA (2 reports)). These were all reported in a similar format (see ‘Britain and the World at the Dawn of 2003’ in Organizational & Social Dynamics, 3(1): 165-169), researched and analysed by the authors, to produce this Global Report.

The authors self-defined their task as follows. To research and analyse the National Reports with a view to:

(a) identify common themes arising within the twenty eight Reports;

(b) explore relationships between themes and to reduce these down to major or dominant themes;

(c) collate supporting information from the Reports for analysis of these themes; and

(d) formulate hypotheses arising there from.

For the sake of brevity this Report will only document the major interrelated themes identified, followed by an analysis and hypotheses regarding each.
Consultancy on Deregistration to a Care Home for the Long-stay Mentally Ill: You Can Take Stig Out of the Dump, But Can You Take the Dump out of Stig?
Authors: Greenway Liz
Published: February 2024

With the Olympic Games coming to London at the time of writing, summer 2012, and the country in economic crisis, the government is attempting to clean up the streets at the same time as cutting services by instructing mental illness to behave itself and meet mad targets. This leaves the mentally ill at most risk of being dumped. Following the dismantling over two decades ago of out-of-sight asylums, most care of the chronically mentally ill has been in registered care homes in the community. The legal definition of a care home is an establishment that provides accommodation with personal care, including assistance with bodily functions where required www.caremanagementmatters.co.uk/documents/PeterGrose.pdf.

‘Registration is a legal requirement under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 for all health and adult social care providers to register with the Care Quality Commission.’ (forum.ukqcs.co.uk/home/forum/topic/36/8/1/17/)

However, in an attempt at reducing budgets, under the guise of cutting red tape and enhancing empowerment and independence, there is a proposal to deregister these housing associations by insisting that their customers become independent of the following needs: personal care, having their medication supervised, and having limited access to and responsibility for money. If a care home is deregistered then, in agreement with residents, the provision of residential accommodation, together with nursing or personal care, is discontinued, and instead these two elements are provided separately and tenancy agreements are put in place in the form of ‘supported housing’. It is expected that the primary task of support workers will adapt to empowering the charges in ‘their care’ so that self-responsibility on the part of the mentally ill will increase. The difficulty is that the nature of mental illness would seem to make this impossible, which makes the demands themselves mad.
Revisión bibliográfica sobre la fisiopatología de la Peste Porcina Africana (PPA)
Authors: Altamirano Martínez Erika Evangelina , Burgos Mayorga Ana Rafaela
Published: February 2024

Introducción. La Peste Porcina Africana que afecta a suidos salvajes y domésticos, es una enfermedad muy contagiosa y letal que causa grandes pérdidas económicas. Alcanza un 100% de mortalidad y morbilidad porque se sacrifican de forma obligatoria los animales infectados y sospechosos. Se debe declarar obligatoriamente ante la Organización Mundial de Sanidad Animal (OMSA – OIE). Objetivo. Esta revisión pretende contribuir con datos relevantes sobre avances científicos que describen la fisiopatología de la Peste Porcina Africana (PPA). Metodología. Se realizó una investigación documental, crítica y descriptiva la misma que permitió obtener información de la fisiopatología de la Peste Porcina Africana (PPA) utilizando bases de datos científicos. Se utilizaron 39 artículos escritos en español e inglés desde el año 2018 hasta el año 2023. Discusión. El virus se originó en África, se encuentra en dicho continente y en otros como Europa, Asia, Oceanía y América, afectando a 50 países en todo el mundo. Morfológica y bioquímicamente el virus es complejo y puede resistir a distintas condiciones ambientales, se inactiva mediante calor, pero resiste temperaturas bajas. Los cuadros clínicos que se presentan en la PPA son hiperagudo, agudo, subagudo, crónico y asintomático. Los cuadros hiperagudos producen la muerte súbita, mientras que, en los moderados o asintomáticos, los animales superan la infección y el virus perdura convirtiéndolos en portadores aparentemente sanos, pero persistentemente infectados. Conclusión. La peste porcina africana (PPA) es una amenaza mundial con gran impacto sobre la industria porcina. Su compleja interacción con el sistema inmune, la rapidez con la que se propaga, la falta de un tratamiento eficaz y la inexistencia de una vacuna comercial convierten a esta enfermedad en un desafío enorme para el sector porcino mundial. Área de estudio general: Medicina Veterinaria. Área de estudio específica: Fisiopatología. Tipo de estudio: Artículo de Revisión Bibliográfica.

Authors:   Mykhailo Tuhan-Baranovskyi Donetsk National University of Economics and Trade, Vorobiova L. V.
Published: February 2024

Objective. The objective of the article is to analyze the French borrowings come into the English language in the context of the receptive assimilation process; identify the stages of receptive assimilation; analyze the French loan-words during the process of borrowing, appropriate to each stage in order to enable effective intercultural research process connected with historical aspect of philological and linguistic studies. Methods. The main scientific results are obtained using two groups of methods: theoretical and statistical ones. The theoretical methods include: the method of theoretical generalization, which makes it possible to determine and nature of French borrowings’ receptive assimilation; problem- chronological ̶ for considering French borrowings of different periods in dynamics and distinguishing periods; methods of extrapolation ̶ to justify provisions regarding the understanding of the influence of historical experience on the vocabulary of the English language; the problem- genetic method ̶ to justify the provisions regarding the analysis of problems that may hinder effective intercultural research process connected with historical aspect of philological and linguistic studies. The statistical group includes verification of received information by processing and comparing data published in various scientific sources. Results. The theoretical analysis of the nature of the French borrowings makes it possible to identify the stages of receptive assimilation that enable effective intercultural studies in the fields of linguistics, philology, and terminology. The conceptual and categorical apparatus of the study containing the following terms as: “French borrowings” and “receptive assimilation” is formed. The stages of receptive assimilation of French borrowings into the English language are defined. Interpretation and analysis of the genesis of possible stages of lexical borrowings will lead to successful management of the educational process for philology, lexicology and language history students. The generalized seven typical stages of receptive assimilation are distinguished as follows: borrowing; integration; phonological adaptation; morphological adaptation; semantic shift; naturalization; and complete assimilation.
SUBSTANTIVE COMPONENTS OF COPYRIGHT: ESSENCE, FEATURES, SPECIFICITY

Published: February 2024

Objective. The objective of this scholarly article is to find out the essence of copyright, namely its key concepts and basic principles, to identify the mechanisms and tools for its protection in Ukraine. Methods. Theoretical methods include analysis and synthesis of literature on the problem under study; practical methods are the selection of factual material on the basis of which conclusions about the essence of copyright. Key concepts and basic provisions, mechanisms and instruments of copyright protection in Ukraine will be formulated. Results. The 21st century is considered the beginning of a new era, which is characterized by global technologies, high informatization, mechanization, and dynamic economic growth. In this century, the main attention of society is paid to the intellectual product, which forms the basis of the concept of "intellectual property" (IP) in the economic and legal context. The collected factual material allows us to conclude that the modern development of any field of human activity (culture, industry, agro-industrial complex, health care, etc.) is impossible without proper technical and scientific support and spiritual achievements of society. These aspects are closely related and interdependent. Thus, the problem of proper use of the intellectual potential of society and the nation as a whole requires constant attention and support from the state. The existence of a modern system of legal protection of IP in Ukraine contributes to the preservation and enrichment of the technical and scientific potential of the state, the development of the national economy and international trade, as well as the attraction of foreign investments, in particular in the form of advanced technologies, which allows Ukraine to enter the world market of intellectual property as an equal in rights partner. The norms of copyright, together with provisions on related rights, form a single institution of IP law - the institution of copyright and related rights. Objectively, copyright is considered as a complex of civil law norms that regulate relations that arise during the creation and use of works of art, science and literature. Subjectively, copyright represents personal and property rights that arise in connection with the creation of works of science, literature and art by the individuals who created them, and which are subject to protection according to the law. It is important to note that copyright arises immediately from the moment of creation of the work, and this moment is recognized by the manifestation of the work on a tangible medium in such a way that it can be understood by others.
CULTURAL-SPECIFIC PROBLEMS OF LEGAL TEXTS TRANSLATION
Authors:   Mykhailo Tuhan-Baranovskyi Donetsk National University of Economics and Trade, Pokulevska A. I.
Published: February 2024

Objective. The objective of the article is to investigate culturally specific problems of legal texts translating from German into Ukrainian and vice versa. Methods. Solving the set tasks is carried out using such methods as analysis and generalization of scientific literature on the problems of translation studies; system analysis, and the continuous sampling technique was used to collect language facts. Results. The problem of translating terminology is one of the main problems of legal texts translating. The main difficulty lies in the ambiguity of German legal terms. Another difficulty is related to the fact that different countries have unequal characteristics in the same spheres of life, and, accordingly, inevitably differ in the sphere of law. This concerns, first of all, the differences between the legal systems of Ukraine and Germany. Therefore, during translation, attention should be paid to the fact that certain facts do not always find an equivalent in another language, because they do not exist in this form. Similarly, the same terms in two languages do not always have the same meaning or scope. Also because in so-called specialized texts, due to their subject matter and frequent linguistic and formal standardization, the influence of cultural features is less than in literary or advertising texts. Therefore, in order to carry out a correct translation of a legal text from German into Ukrainian, it is necessary to take into account the cultural and specific features of both countries, to have knowledge of linguistic and regional studies, history, as well as to possess professional and branch knowledge. Because insufficient knowledge of the history of the people, its culture, customs, social order, features of political life can lead to an inadequate translation. On the other hand, the translation of specialized legal texts should not focus exclusively on linguistic aspects, otherwise a "functionally adequate" translation will not be achieved.

O Scenario Planning em Educação busca na sua essência uma nova maneira na forma de pensar a educação. O cenário do futuro é uma técnica, uma metodologia que serve para traçar possíveis maneiras de prevê-lo. Podemos traçar conjecturas fortuitas, tentando conceber, construir horizontes, no sentido de avaliar possibilidades diversas traçando assim, uma maneira de saber o que este futuro pode ou não nos reservar. Ao se planejar estrategicamente um cenário deve-se incorporar as visões, os conceitos, as técnicas que serão levadas em consideração para prever o mesmo, pois o grande diferencial de qualquer instituição é antever os momentos de crise. Nesse sentido, a metodologia utilizada tem caráter bibliográfico embasada em teóricos como Bryson, Marcial, Minayo, entre outros que trazem nos seus estudos informações essenciais para uma melhor escrita do artigo. Procurou-se neste artigo destacar a importância do Scenario Planning, colocando-o como mecanismo de grande valia para os gestores e colaboradores na tomada de decisões. Foram elencados conceitos sobre o assunto e os cenários futuros na visão de vários autores, no qual podem contribuir de forma significativa para a reflexão de todos que fazem parte da organização/instituição e que estejam envolvidos não só diretamente, mas também indiretamente, visto que tanto o planejamento estratégico quanto a construção de cenários futuros atingem a todos os envolvidos. O artigo tem por objetivo apresentar a notabilidade que a construção do planejamento de cenários dentro do ambiente educacional é de fundamental importância para se preparar com antecedência, visando antever futuros acontecimentos que podem ou não ocorrer.

The Effect of Morus alba, Alloe barbadensis Miller, Allium sativum, Annona squamosal, and other Medicinal Plants as A Therapeutic Agent for Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Hussain Mehwish Shabir , Munir Ammara
Published: February 2024

This review article discusses the prevalence of diabetes. However, due to the limitations of the traditional medications of diabetes, there is growing interest in using medicinal plants that contain specific chemicals such as alkaloids, terpenoids, carotenoids, flavonoids, and glycosides to combat diabetes.

Crop yield lose due to soil salinization is an increasing threat to agriculture worldwide. An efficient and yield based techniques for selection of salt tolerant lines has been developed under the three different levels of salinity stress such as T1 = 00, T2 = 6 and T3 = 8 dS m-1 NaCl in green house. The current study was conducted in control condition where initially nutritional supplements were used as Hoagland solution (Hoagland solution is a hydroponic nutrient solution, which provide every essential nutrients for plant growth). The mentioned research was observed in the experimental site of Nuclear Institute of Agriculture (NIA) Tandojam to assess the response of coded as well as local cultivated lines under the salinity stress. 21 days old seedlings were transplanted at culture solution area at three different levels of sodium chloride. Twenty different lines were grown and compared with each other for morpho-physilogical and yield based traits. The results exposed considerable variations among shoot length, root length, root weight, shoot weight, leaf area and chlorophyll content at different stress of NaCl. The result regarding stress observed that, genotypes GML-529, IR-72 and KANGNI-27 showed more than 50 % reduction in shoot length during stress, while genotypes IR-83, HHZ SAL-10-DT1-DT2, and SHUA-92 showed promising results for shoot length. Physiological observation revealed that HHZ SAL-10-DT1-DT2, Kharagnjia, FL-478, IR-72, SHUA-92 and GML-498 showed higher green pigment (chlorophyll content) and leaf area, however among tested lines, KSK-282, HHZ SAL-10-DT1-DT2, DR-82, IR-8, and Basmati-515 stored higher K+ and lower Na+ in both stress condition, which favors to our target and breeding objective.). Therefore, it is proved that above mentioned lines would be found as suitable for further breeding program regarding introducing salt tolerant rice genotypes and identified genotypes shoukd be further tested at reproductive stage for yield and yield associated traits under similar stress at different locations of saline soil of Sindh, Pakistan.

Bacterial leaf spot of spinach is an emerging problem causing significant losses worldwide, particularly in Pakistan. The current study was subjected to mitigate this arising issue by the exploitation of four chemicals and four plant extracts in vitro and in green house at three different concentrations. The experiments were performed under CRD through inhibition zone technique and foliar spray method. Laboratory experiments concluded aqueous extract of Acacia nilotica with maximum inhibition zone (10.4 mm) followed by Calotropis gigantea (5.0 mm), Citrullus colocynthis (3.6 mm), and Moringa oleifera (1.6 mm) respectively as compared to control (0.00 mm). In vitro results of chemicals showed Streptomycin sulphate (13.9 mm) with highest inhibition zone followed by Oxytetracycline (10.2 mm), Kasumin (4.7 mm), and Copper oxychloride (3.2 mm) respectively. Most effective Phytoextracts and chemicals observed in vitro were selected for greenhouse evaluation. In greenhouse results Streptomycin sulphate (5.2%) showed as most significant antibacterial agent in managing the disease severity followed by Acacia nilotica (10.1%) as compared to control. The current findings would be the valuable insights for researchers and the farming community, assisting in the improved management of bacterial leaf spot of spinach.

Thermoacoustic instability is a phenomenon frequently encountered in power and propulsion systems which acutely harms the system safety. It is a systematic oscillation process produced by the coupling of unsteady heat release and acoustic perturbations in the combustor. Acoustic liners can absorb acoustics in the combustion chamber through their unique structure, thus greatly reduce the damage. At present, the research on acoustic simulation of engine internal liners mainly assumes a condition with no temperature difference. However, in practice, the cooling air passing through the liner can provide a huge temperature difference between the two sides of the liner. In this case, the temperature difference of up to more than a thousand degrees may greatly affect the accuracy of the acoustic model derived under conditions without temperature difference. In this work, an acoustic model of liners with cooling bias flow was derived. Comparisons against previous models and experimental results considering no temperature difference are conducted.

Passive control devices such as liners and Helmholtz resonators (HRs) are commonly employed in practical applications to mitigate thermoacoustic instabilities. To safeguard the HR from being corroded by the invasion of hot flow from the combustor, a cooling flow with significantly lower temperature than that in the combustor is injected from the rear of the HR cavity. However, this results in a dynamic mixing of cold bias and hot grazing flows in the combustor, which may generate an entropy wave downstream of the HR, thereby affecting its sound absorption performance. Unfortunately, these effects are often neglected when modelling such systems. In this context, an acoustic model is derived for a one-dimensional combustor duct with distinct temperature compared to that of the attached HR. The model offers physical insights into the underlying mechanisms of the impact of HR on the acoustic fields. It considers not only the mean temperature difference between the cooling bias flow and the main flow in the combustor, but also the mean temperature difference between the up- and downstream of the combustor across the HR. The effect of both temperature differences on the HR’s performance will be discussed.

Understanding combustion-generated noise helps to control thermoacoustic instabilities encountered in rocket and gas-turbine engines. The indirect combustion noise is an important noise source in the combustor, which is generated by accelerating the entropy fluctuations through a nozzle. Therefore, the investigation of entropy generation in flames is of importance for identifying the source of indirect combustion nose. To this end, the effects of strain rate and equivalence ratio on entropy generation in laminar premixed counterflow flames are analyzed in this work. It is noted that the chemical reaction terms are the dominant source of entropy generation, which is decomposed from the entropy equation into three sub-terms: unsteady heat release rate, the sensible enthalpy and the partial entropy terms, defined as S!,#, S!,$ and S!,%, respectively. The results show that in H2/air combustion, S!,# and S!,% make a significant contribution to the entropy production. However, in CH4/air combustion, the entropy source term is almost equal to the heat release rate. Also, for both H2/air and CH4/air combustion, the contributions of S!,#, S!,$ and S!,% are almost independent of the strain rate at equivalence ratios of 0.7 and 1.0. Most importantly, at an equivalence ratio of 2.0, the strain rate has an effect on the contribution values of S!,#, S!,$ and S!,%, and the effect is more pronounced for CH4/air combustion.
