Authors: Bhandari Devashish , Karn Rupak , Neupane Bipin , Marasini Dinesh
Published: September 2020

Significant yield reduction and effect on almost every aspect of the plants by insect pests have been a mega problem in agricultural crops. Scientist tackle with many challenges to develop highly efficient techniques either through conventional breeding or modern genetic engineering to understand the mechanism of resistance and its application for benefit of human kind. Antibiosis, antixenosis and tolerance are the resistance mechanisms which have been developed for successful control of economically important insect pests in corn. Plant morphology and allelochemicals, induced resistance, callus tissue culture and genetic transformation were used as major tools to advance resistance by corn breeders. Insect pest resistant corn has been attributed for social, economical as well as environmental benefits. However, outcome of these achievements are not reflected due to low use of insect resistant corn by farmers in many developing countries of the world.

The present study was carried out to examine the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield parameters of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Chaudhary Charan Singh University, Meerut, U.P. during the year 2018. The field experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The treatments involved in the study were eight in numbers i.e. T1 Control (no fertilizers), T2 (125 kg N + 50 kg P2O5 + 60 kg K2O /ha), T3 (100 kg N + 40 kg P2O5 + 48 kg K2O + 5 t FYM /ha) T4 (100 kg N + 40 kg P2O5 + 48 kg K2O + 12 q VC /ha), T5 (75 kg N + 30 kg P2O5 + 36 kg K2O + 10 t FYM /ha), T6 (75 kg N +30 kg P2O5 + 36 kg K2O + 24 q VC /ha), T7 (25 t FYM /ha), T8 (60 q VC /ha). All variable parameters regarding vegetative and reproductive parameters of okra were significantly influenced by integrated nutrient management practices. Soil of the experimental field was sandy loam and neutral in pH reaction. The present investigation clearly indicate that the combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers i.e. T6 (75 kg N +30 kg P2O5 + 36 kg K2O + 24 q VC /ha) had the better effect on growth and yield parameters viz., plant height (129.11 cm), number of nodes on main stem (19.23), fresh weight of plant (351.13 g), dry weight of plant (72.12 g), number of pods per plant (16.13), length of pod (15.80 cm) and yield (134.14 q /ha) as compared to other treatments in case of okra cv. Arka Anamika under Western Uttar Pradesh conditions. On the basis of present investigation, it may be concluded that an integrated use of organic manure with chemical fertilizer increased the growth and yield of okra than that of sole application of either chemical fertilizer or organic manures.

Published: September 2020

Field screening of eleven most popular jute varieties belonging to Corchorus olitorius species was done against the major pests in the farm of Jute Research Programm, Itahari, Sunsari, Nepal during 2017 and 2018. Different species of pests belonging to insects, mites and nematodes were found feeding on jute. Among them, jute Semilooper (Anomis sabulifera Guen.), Bihar hairy caterpillar (Spilarctia obliqua Wlk.), yellow mite (Polyphagotarson emuslatus Banks), are causing economic damage to the jute crop. Eleven jute varieties were selected to conduct varietal preference and tested against major pest of jute in field condition. Among the eleven varieties JRO-524 was found to be moderately resistant against the Semilooper (A. sabulifera) and Bihar hairy caterpillar (S. oblique) but least susceptible to yellow mites. Likewise, the variety KEN-DS-058, KEN-DS-066, BJRI-1965 and BJRI-1968 showed highly susceptible to major pest Semilooper (A. sabulifera), Bihar hairy caterpillar (S. oblique) and yellow mites. The variety BRD-SRB-061, YA-41, O-4, KEN-BL-130, Itahari-2 showed moderate resistance to Semilooper (A. sabulifera), Bihar hairy caterpillar (S. oblique) but moderately susceptible to yellow mites. Further, the fibre production capacity of the varieties under different pest’s pressure was found relatively higher in variety JRO-524 followed by YA-41, BRD-SRB-061, KEN-BL-130 and O-4 respectively. The relatively higher yield recorded under varying pest levels over two consecutive seasons is an indicative of greater field tolerance of olitorius jute varieties.

Published: September 2020

A field experiment was carried out during the early summer seasons of 2018, at Agricultural Research Centre (ARC) Giza, Egypt. This study aims to examine the effect of three tillage treatments under three different moisture contents on some soil properties and on maize crop production. The experiments included three moisture contents of (MC1, 27.2 %), (MC2, 15.4 %) and (MC3, 7.2 %); as well as three tillage treatments, no-tillage control (NT), minimum tillage (MT) and conventional tillage (CT). The experimental was laid out in split-split plot design with four replications. The results showed that, there was significant effect of tillage at different moisture levels on soil physical and chemical properties. It was also indicated that the effect of tillage practices was significantly on soil bulk density, total porosity, hydraulic conductivity and moisture constants, where the conventional tillage at soil moisture level 15.4% (MC2) helped in improving soil bulk density, hydraulic conductivity and total porosity. Soil organic C, cations exchange capacity CEC, available N, P and K were improved in the soil surface layer of NT and decreased with depth. Clod mean weight diameter of soil was improved with 15.4-% of soil moisture content regardless of tillage depth and enhanced root proliferation by increasing density roots compared with minimum and no tillage in maize plant. The grain yields of maize were improving more under conventional tillage at moisture content 15.4% compared with other treatments. It was found that plant height and roots value increased by using conventional tillage compared with other tillage treatments.

A study on water's green economy for development in agriculture
Authors: Gayar Attia El
Published: September 2020

The concept of a green economy has gained currency in recent years as a paradigm for promoting economic growth and increased well-being while protecting the environment and contributing to poverty alleviation. There is no common definition of green economy, but the term clearly emphasizes the economic dimension of sustainability. Not only do the environmental (stewardship) and economic (growth) dimensions coexist in the green economy, but they are also complementary and mutually reinforcing strategies to achieve development. Water scarcity, pollution, and other water related environmental and ecological problems have been increasing rapidly in many areas of the world. Water demand management or making better use of the water we have as opposed to augmenting supply is increasingly proposed as a way of mitigating water scarcity problems. Although the achievements of irrigation in ensuring food security and improving rural welfare have been impressive, past experience also indicates problems and failures of irrigated agriculture. In addition to large water use and low efficiency, environmental concerns are usually considered the most significant problem of the irrigation sector. Environmental problems include excessive water depletion, water quality reduction, water logging and salinization. In some basins (water resources), excessive diversion of river water for irrigation (and other uses) has brought environmental and ecological disasters to downstream areas, and groundwater pumping at unsustainable rates has contributed to the lowering of groundwater tables and to salt water intrusion in some coastal areas. Many water quality problems have also been created or aggravated by changes in stream flows associated with agriculture’s consumptive uses. Moving water away from agriculture to uses with higher economic value is one of the main measures widely seen as desirable. This apparent misallocation is often attributed to the failure of government to allocate water rationally. This paper focuses on achieving a sustainable balance between irrigation management and sustainable development and water investments.

The aim of this study was to find out the gender difference with reference to sociocultural attitude towards appearance among young adults. The sample consisted of 253 males and 256 female students of Karachi University with age range 18-24 years. Urdu translated version of Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance-4 (Thompson et al, 2015) scale was used to explore the gender difference in social and cultural aspect for ideal appearance. SATAQ-4 consist of five subscales two internal (thin/low body fat and muscular/ athlete) and three external (pressure peer, pressure family and pressure media). Males significantly scored higher on Internalization- Muscular/ Athletic and on all three subscales of external pressure (peer, family and media) as compared to female participants. The results of this study reveal that in our society, males are more conscious about their appearance and feel more pressure from external world through various means to retain their physique and fulfill social criteria of attractiveness. Although the female participants also facing internal pressures to have thin body having low fats to meet criteria of beauty as they scored higher on internalization - Thin / Low Body Fat subscale but the finding was insignificant.

Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of RC Deep Beam Using CDP Model
Authors: Rai Pramod
Published: September 2020

Finite element analysis (FEA) is widely adopted these days to investigate relatively heavy structures such as reinforced concrete (RC) deep beam, which requires a higher investment of resources. This research aims to investigate a numerical modeling technique applicable to study the nonlinear behavior of RC deep beams by using FEA based on the software, ABAQUS. The nonlinear behavior of an RC deep beam adapted from an earlier research work is captured by using the uniaxial compressive and tensile stress-strain relationship and damage parameters of concrete. The response of the FE model is verified with the experimental results in terms of the load to midspan deflection curve and damage distribution. The ultimate shear capacity predicted by the FE model is 0.75% lower, and the corresponding displacement is 6.92% higher than the experimental results. The adopted modeling technique and the constitutive concrete models demonstrate the promising results indicating its possibilities for the investigation of RC structures.

Published: September 2020

An appreciable and significant assess of consideration and mindset is currently growing up for power dc-dc converters and its further more consideration is taken towards adoption of Modular-Multilevel Converters (MMC). The paper presents a transformer less MMC by the means of superior and advanced conversion ratio for higher dc-dc power conversion. This converter is being capable of utilized mutually for both the Medium Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) transmission systems and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems, due to its some remarkable distinctive attributes such as modular design, scalability, consistency, tolerance of failures, larger step up and step down ratio and lowers filtering requirements. The MMC idea connects N low voltage sub-modules in sequence to produce a high voltage output. Thus there is no complex control algorithm necessary to stabilize or balance the voltages in every sub-module. Thus the simulation and analysis of a MMC design connected with stray inductances in order to reduce losses is done with an instance of 11-times stepping up ratio.

THE POLICY OF THE GERMAN AUTHORITIES IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORY OF THE NORTH OSSETIA IN AUGUST 1942 – JANUARY 1943
Authors: Секинаев С.А.
Published: September 2020

В последние годы заметно возрос исследовательский интерес к событиям Второй мировой войны и особенно к ее важнейшей составной части – войне Советского Союза с нацистской Германией. Публикация новых документов раскрывает многие ранее неизвестные страницы военной истории, конкретизирует и дополняет, казалось бы, уже известные. В предлагаемой статье на основе архивных источников и историографических материалов освещается политика немецких властей в период оккупации большей части территории Северной Осетии в ходе Великой Отечественной войны. Показано, что действия захватчиков по установлению так называемого «нового порядка», сопровождаемые жестокими карательными мерами, вызывали активное противодействие местного населения. В то же время многие вынуждены были работать на оккупантов, большое число граждан было отправлено на работы в Германию. Важную роль в борьбе против немецко-фашистских захватчиков сыграла всенародная борьба в тылу врага. Верховное Главнокомандование и руководство СССР с первых же дней войны придали партизанскому движению целенаправленный и организованный характер. Активное участие в партизанском движении приняли и жители Северной Осетии. На оккупированной территории организовывались партизанские отряды, проводившие рейды в тыл противника. В статье анализируется также экономическое положение республики и делается вывод о значительном ущербе, нанесенном многим хозяйственным отраслям в период оккупации.

In recent years, research interest in the events of World War II and especially in its most important component, the war of the Soviet Union with Nazi Germany, has noticeably increased. The publication of new documents reveals many previously unknown pages of military history, concretizes and supplements the seemingly already known ones. This article, based on archival sources and historiographic data, highlights the policy of the German authorities in the period of the occupation of most of the territory of North Ossetia during the Great Patriotic War. It is shown that the actions of the invaders to establish the so-called "new order", accompanied by brutal punitive measures, provoked active opposition from the local population. At the same time, many people were forced to work for the occupiers, a large number of citizens were sent to work in Germany. An important role in the struggle against the German fascist invaders was played by the national struggle behind enemy lines. The Supreme Command and the leadership of the USSR from the very first days of the war gave the partisan movement a purposeful and organized character. Residents of North Ossetia also took an active part in the partisan movement. In the occupied territory, partisan detachments were organized, conducting raids behind enemy lines. The economic situation of the republic is analyzed and a conclusion is made about the significant damage caused many economic sectors during the occupation.
La desigualdad ante la muerte: educación y esperanza de vida en España
Authors: Requena Miguel
Published: September 2020

La educación se muestra como uno de los factores discriminantes ante la muerte de la población española. Los nuevos datos del INE sobre mortalidad por edad y nivel de instrucción para hombres y mujeres permiten medir esas diferencias como probabilidades de muerte y esperanzas de vida en la España de 2012. La distancia es más que notable: un hombre de 30 años y nivel de instrucción alto puede esperar vivir de media tres años y ocho meses más que un coetáneo de nivel educativo elemental. Esa desigualdad educativa ante la muerte es mayor entre los hombres que entre las mujeres; además, la tradicional diferencia ante la mortalidad por razón de género tiende a disminuir cuanto mayor es el nivel educativo. Aunque hay que ser prudentes a la hora de establecer causalidades, todo apunta a que la educación, con sus consiguientes diferenciales en condiciones laborales, económicas y culturales, es un elemento determinante de las desigualdades ante la muerte y la longevidad.
La custodia compartida: ¿un paso más hacia la igualdad de género?
Authors: Solsona Montse , Ajenjo Marc
Published: September 2020

Los datos publicados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) indican que desde 2011 ha habido una gran estabilidad en la cifra de divorcios: en torno a los 100 mil anuales, la mitad de los cuales con hijos/as menores de edad. Sin embargo, en el mismo período se ha producido un notable incremento de la custodia compartida en detrimento del paradigma anterior de custodia exclusiva de la madre con un régimen de visitas para el padre. Así, entre 2011 y 2016, la custodia compartida ha pasado del 12% al 28% de los divorcios con hijos/as menores. Este crecimiento, liderado por las comunidades autónomas que tienen una legislación favorable al respecto, refleja cambios sociales de mayor alcance relacionados con la igualdad de género dentro y fuera del hogar. El análisis de las series del INE, sumado a un estudio inédito de todas las sentencias de divorcio y también de las rupturas de parejas de hecho no incluidas en las estadísticas del INE de los juzgados de familia de la ciudad de Barcelona del año 2014 -5.894 sentencias-, ilustran que la custodia compartida pactada significa, al menos sobre el papel, equidad entre el padre y la madre, tanto en el cuidado de los niños/as (residencia alternada) como en la participación en sus gastos. A partir de estos resultados, cabe preguntarse si sería adecuado tras la separación de los progenitores otorgar por defecto la custodia compartida de los hijos/as. La respuesta no puede ser más clara: No. La custodia compartida debería ser la secuencia lógica de un pacto que reflejara una práctica anterior a la ruptura de coparentalidad en equidad, la cual a día de hoy todavía no es mayoritaria.

Automata Economicus: Assets that Create Value and the Artificial Creative Economy
Authors: Fráguas Nobre Guilherme
Published: September 2020

The paper introduces the automata economicus to contrast with the concept of machina economicus: the latter aims to build software-based models that mimic human agents, environments, systems, and tools (i.e. an artificial homo economicus); whereas the former aims autonomous and creative machines capable of new economic value creation/conversion. The paper states that an economy populated with several automata economicus may give birth to an artificially intelligent creative economy (AICE) and class – in reference to Richard Florida’s creative class (exclusively constituted by humans). Finally, the paper sustains that such automata economicus may eventually make fuzzy the economics’ traditional distinction between capital, land, and labor.
Respondiendo a los problemas complejos de las ciudades

Published: September 2020

En los últimos años, algunos profesionales del diseño (o de otras disciplinas que lo ejercen como método para aproximarse a la realidad) han desafiado el discurso estereotípico del artista sabio para incursionar en roles más activos como agentes sociales, capaces de contribuir de manera significativa a la solución de problemas complejos, principalmente en entornos urbanos. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir este desplazamiento, abordando la relación entre diseño y estudios de futuros. Asimismo se exponen los resultados de una exploración en la cual se aplican los principios de la prospectiva para reflexionar en torno a los problemas complejos de las ciudades y sus soluciones en el largo plazo. A manera de cierre, se esbozan cuatro escenarios de futuros, finalizando con la iniciativa Cubo de innovación y transición de la ciudad, táctica que forma parte el escenario futurible.

Aim: To evaluate the educational level of nurses through a pre and post-test after a gynecologic oncology workshop.
Material and method: During the ‘Basic and Advanced Nursing Activities in Gynecologic Oncology’ workshop, pre and post-test were applied to 33 nurses. The lessons consisted of patient care before and after basic surgical procedures in gynecologic oncology; pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy, radical hysterectomy, radical vulvectomy with inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy, with the additional patient care managements for bowel operations, stoma formation, chemotherapy administration, radiotherapy and brachytherapy applications. Additionally, enhanced recovery after surgery and palliative care options were also discussed. Nurses scaled their pre and post-course knowledge ranging between 1-5 points. The post-course evaluation was held at the end of the first month after the workshop.
Results: Attending nurses were from all servicing parts of the hospital irrespective of their previous experience, education level or employment in gynecologic oncology. There was a statistically significant improvement of knowledge in all aspects of the course (p<0.05).
Conclusion: There is a need for a structured post-graduate educational program specific for nurses, and the dedicated workshops will achieve this.
STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ENERGY-CONCEALED PHASE-MANIPULATED SIGNAL
Authors: Kovtun S. O. , Kovalchuk S. V. , Topolnytsky P. P.
Published: September 2020

The law of distribution of the output effect differs from the normal one at the output of the receiving path realized on the basis of autocorrelation algorithm with quadrature processing. When there is no signal at the input of the receiver, the distribution of the output effect corresponds to Rayleigh’s or Rayleigh – Rice’s law in condition of its presence. The probability density distribution at the output of an incoherent auto correlation receiver with quadrature processing is considered in relation to the input level of the energy-concealed phase-manipulated signal. In order to detect a useful signal it is necessary that, at the output of the receiver, the signal / noise ratio exceeds the detection threshold determined by the Neumann – Pearson criterion according to the given probability of false alarm. The level of the signal-to-noise ratio at the output of an incoherent autocorrelation receiver with quadrature processing has been calculated. A characteristic feature of the presented graphs is the linear dependence of the output signal / noise ratio relative to the input signal. This feature is observed in the input signal / noise ratio which is less than one. The curves for the distribution of the probability density of the input signal mix and noise corresponding to the generalized Rayleigh’s law (Rayleigh-Rice) are constructed in the book. There is a shift of curves for the abscissa axis according to the given probabilities of false alarms and accumulation time (observation). It is evident from the given graphs that the offset of the abscissa of the input signal value / noise ratio significantly depends on the accumulation of the input mixture time. The curves for detecting an energy-concealed phase-manipulated signal by a non-coherent autocorrelation receiver with quadrature processing on the basis of the probability density distribution are obtained. The results of the calculations indicate that detection of a phase-manipulated signal on the background of "white" noise is possible in case of an input-to-noise ratio of less than one, that is, up to -32 dB in real time (up to 0.1 s).
MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF ASSESSMENT OF RISK UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO INFORMATION BY USERS OF INFORMATION AND TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Published: September 2020

The article is devoted to the solution of the actual scientific and practical task – to develop a mathematical model for assessing the risk of unauthorized access to information by users of the information and telecommunication system. Interpretations of such concepts are given: unauthorized access to information, risk and risk assessment used in the course of internal threat research. The characteristics of the user of the information and telecommunication system that affect the value of the probability of unauthorized access to information are determined. It is shown that taking into account the theoretical and practical knowledge of the user of the information and telecommunication system about the characteristics of the physical environment, the computing system, the processed information, which he can use to deliberately violate the rules of demarcation in order to gain unauthorized access to information, will provide a more accurate assessment of this risk. A verification of the adequacy of the developed mathematical model of risk assessment of unauthorized access to information by users of information and telecommunication system with the help of special software is carried out. It is established that the users who have the most experience and experience with information and telecommunication systems (not only in the institution under consideration), the highest level of access to information with restricted access of the institution (organization), occupy responsible positions and are undisciplined are the most likely internal threat of unauthorized access to information. It is the use of a mathematical model for assessing the risk of unauthorized access to information by users of the information and telecommunication system that will improve the comprehensive information protection system of the corresponding information and telecommunication system.
The Status of the Limited Liability Company since the New Hungarian Civil Code Came into Effect
Authors: Papp Tekla
Published: September 2020

Historically, the form of the limited liability company was first introduced in Hungary by Act V of 1930. This type of company, which is equipped with all the advantages of members in a limited liability, was born out of the relevant necessity in the economy. However, it is quite flexible in its nature, could be established easily and demonstrates a simpler organizational structure than a company limited by shares. Therefore, the limited liability company fits within the general frame of small and medium enterprises, and is the main and most popular form of a company in Hungary. This paper gives an overview of the characteristics, regulations, foundation, organization, minority rights, business share, members and managing directors’ liabilities in Hungarian limited liability companies from a regulatory and practical perspective.

Harmful Effects of Imprisonment, Overcrowding in Prisons : Facts, Reasons, and the Way Forward
Authors: Csemáné Váradi Erika
Published: September 2020

High prison occupancy – regardless of the type of violation – is a serious problem and a significant obstacle to reformatory, reintegrational, and educational work. Neither the negative side effects of imprisonment, nor the harmful effect of overcrowding are uniquely Hungarian, but according to Eurostat data on the prison population between 2015 and 2017, the highest level of prison overcrowding was observed in Hungary. What could be the reason for this? Are there any peculiarities that could serve as an explanation and that make domestic conditions so different? Can repressive criminal policy really be the cause, or strict sentencing practices, or new rules in the Criminal Code, such as mid-scale sentencing? Or will the change in civic attitudes and the associated criminal policy affect professionals? Is it that public security is becoming a political issue? Maybe historical roots or other objective reasons (such as the nature of the buildings) lead us here? This study seeks answers to this situation.
