Bacteria of the genus Azospirillum can colonize root surfaces, enhancing biological nitrogen fixation. This study aimed to assess the viability and agronomic efficiency of the inoculant Grammy Crop® Liquid (Azospirillum brasilense) applied to wheat crops as seed treatment. Four experiments were installed in regions with different edaphoclimatic conditions, namely Lapa, Porto Amazonas, Ponta Grossa, and Palmeira, Paraná State, Brazil. A randomized block design was used, with nine treatments and four replications. Treatments were as follows: untreated control; 50% nitrogen (N) requirement; 100% N requirement; Nitro 1000 (reference treatment); Grammy Crop® Liquid at 50, 100, 150, and 200 mL 40 kg−1 seed; and Grammy Crop® Peat at 100 g 40 kg−1 seed. Root and shoot fresh and dry weights were evaluated at 35 days after emergence, chlorophyll index at stem elongation and heading, and grain yield and N content after harvest. Grammy Crop® Liquid at 150 and 100 mL 40 kg−1 seed increased shoot fresh weight in crops grown in Porto Amazonas and Palmeira, respectively. At all sites, the chlorophyll index was higher in plants treated with Grammy Crop® Liquid. Furthermore, Grammy Crop® Liquid increased grain yield by more than 20% in all experiments. N content was also higher at all sites in plants treated with one of the four rates of Grammy Crop® Liquid. It is concluded that Grammy Crop® contributed to improving wheat development and yield.

Published: January 2024

In a world with over eight billion people, the growing demand for goods and services has led to excessive exploitation of non-renewable resources, accelerating global warming through CO2 emissions. "Industry 4.0: Sustainability and Business Transformation" proposes changing industrial production to address this problem. The book explores how the scientific, academic, and business communities collaborate in the face of this challenge. It suggests using recyclable materials and renewable energies in manufacturing to enhance the environment. However, this transformation faces obstacles. Although Industry 4.0 represents a significant change, its adoption comes with challenges. Costs and a lack of collaboration in supply chains hinder its implementation. Skills and infrastructure gaps impede its progress in developing economies. The book highlights Industry 4.0 for businesses, especially in emerging economies like Mexico, aiming for environmental and sustainability goals in the metal-mechanical, automotive, aerospace, chemical, and textile manufacturing sectors. However, it requires a robust network to connect resources and people. The central goal of Industry 4.0 is to merge value and production in intelligent enterprises. Horizontal and vertical integration will enable automatic exchanges, connecting products, machinery, employees, and consumers. "Industry 4.0: Sustainability and Business Transformation" advocates for adaptable production systems to meet current challenges.

Published: January 2024

The use of four estrus synchronization regimens in 43 prepubertal buffalo heifers revealed that progesterone-based hormone regimens (ovsynch+CIDR±eCG) are most favourable for the optimization of their fertility status. Treatment with eCG at CIDR withdrawal had no additional beneficial impact on conception rate. Under field conditions, it may difficult to predict exhibition of induced-estrus/ ovulation in prepubertal heifers, therefore, heifers subjected to Ovsynch+CIDR regimen should be inseminated at 48 (day 9), 72 (day 10) and 96 (day 11) h after CIDR withdrawal.

Published: January 2024

Migratory Gaddi sheep and goat constitutes approximately 70% of the total population of small ruminants in Himachal Pradesh, which is in north-western Himalayan region of India. The present investigation was carried out on 32 Gaddi migratory flocks consisting of around 5000 animals (sheep and goat) through structured pre-validated questionnaire to find out scope of nomadic pastoralism for organic goat production. Through cross-sectional surveys, it was found that 100% of breeds reared by the nomads are indigenous in origin, which is well adapted for grazing and browsing in different hilly terrains and topographies. Tethering was not at all practiced among the nomadic flocks of goats. The flocks were herd in corrals during night to prevent predatory loss. The main source of nutrition for goats was rangeland, natural pastures and common property resources. The nomadic goat production system does not substantially compromise the welfare of the animals. Natural suckling and freedom of social behaviour in nomadic flocks are the ethological advantages same as that are required for standards of organic production. Natural breeding is commonly practiced in this nomadic goat production system whereas artificial insemination, embryo transfer and estrus synchronization is unpopular. Ethno-veterinary practices of Gaddi farmers give them an edge over other countries in organic goat production; it can be effective substitute for allopathic medicines but needs to be validated on efficacy and dosage. Exploring and supporting nomadic pastoralism for organic production will help in improving its traceability, meeting consumer satisfaction and sustaining the dwindling nomadic pastoralism.

In the present study, four LSDV field strains were isolated from cattle in Bhadra tehsil, Hanumangarh district, Rajasthan under ICAR-Farmer FIRST Project and Bathinda, Punjab during the period 2021 and 2022. Apart from the characteristic clinical signs of LSD, the viral etiology was confirmed by PCR targeting LSDV074, LSDV 117 and LSDV036 genes, in addition to characteristic clinical signs LSD in cattle. Though, buffalo is a susceptible host, only mild deep seated skin nodules suspected for LSD were reported from in-contact buffaloes under field condition in this study. None of the samples from buffalo were found positive for LSDV, BHV-1 and BHV-2 DNA by PCR. Buffaloes exhibiting mild clinical signs in the current study showed an antibody titre of 1:16 to 1:64 by virus neutralization assay. No information is available regarding the seroprevalence of LSD in buffalo from India, therefore, it is imperative to further investigate the susceptibility of buffalo to LSDV infection. Based on the phylogenetic analysis of the ORF036 gene sequence, LSDV/India/RAJ/ OP604055/2021 was in close relationship with LSDV from India, Kenya, Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar as they clustered together as a sub-cluster.

Published: January 2024

The impact of COVID 19 on university higher education has been noticeable in the transformation of the operating system from face-to-face education to distance education. This mixed-approach research sought to determine the relationship between university academic tutoring and vocational training, as well as to describe and analyze the work conducted in academic tutoring at a public university in the Faculty of Business Sciences, Agrarian Sciences and Engineering to know the strategies they execute and elaborate proposals. A survey was administered to a random sample of 227 tutors. Then, 25 tutors and 25 tutors were selected, applying a semi-structured interview. The results indicate that there is a high positive correlation between academic tutoring and vocational training (0.728) and between academic tutoring and the dimensions: personal (0.712); professional (0, 671) and academic (0, 679). It is concluded that this should follow an organizational process that allows individual and group orientation activities, as well as co-referral when specialized help is required. The tutors must meet certain qualities that allow an empathic approach with the tutors; and academic management should provide continuous training for tutors to improve their strategies.

Published: January 2024

This research aims to explore the use of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) in the learning context at the elementary school level. The research approach applied was qualitative with a focus on case studies at SD Negeri 16 Banda Aceh, class 4. Data collection was carried out through classroom observations, interviews and document analysis. The research results show that the integration of TPACK in learning in elementary schools has a positive impact. Teachers have succeeded in integrating information and communication technology (ICT) well in planning and implementing learning. They use various ICT tools and applications that are appropriate to the learning content as well as effective teaching strategies. In addition, teachers are also able to apply pedagogical and content knowledge effectively to facilitate interesting and meaningful learning for students. There are several challenges faced by teachers in implementing TPACK. Some obstacles include limited access to ICT devices and resources, lack of training capable of developing TPACK competencies, as well as obstacles in integrating TPACK into the existing elementary school curriculum. The findings of this research provide a deeper understanding of the use of TPACK in learning at the elementary school level. The implications of this research can be the basis for developing teaching materials and educational policies that support the integration of TPACK in the learning process in elementary schools.

Published: January 2024

The book by prof. dr. ic.n. Danail Danailov continues the research on the complex and controversial process of the integration of the Bulgarian economy into the European Union. Changes in the region and global challenges condition the author's search for such a societal paradigm that would meet the needs of the country, mitigating the objective negative influences of the external environment. The fateful choice of joining a large integration community was made in the context of the controversial development of the Southeast European region. Prof. Danailov compares indicators of the economic development of the Balkan countries with those of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which illustrates the difficult path of changes in national economies. The main focus is on privatisation and foreign direct investment (FDI), comparing the processes in the Balkan countries. Russia's role in the region's energy policy is highlighted, with implications for the overall political process in South-East Europe, and the importance of the Western Balkans' inclusion initiatives is emphasised.

Authors:   Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi, Vietnam, Do Van Thuy
Published: January 2024

This article presents some typical physical and mechanical characteristics of natural red sand collected in Thien Nghiep commune, Phan Thiet city, Binh Thuan province through static experiments in the laboratory. From the obtained results, it is shown that this sand belongs to group A-2 according to the AASHTO M145 standard on grain composition. The sand has a relatively high cohesion with an average value of about 29 kPa and the internal friction angle with an average value of about 35º which characterize the shear resistance of material. The CBR value of sand at a relative compaction of 0.95 is 20.67% which meets the requirements of subgrade materials for highway traffic construction according to current standards. Thus, through a series of static experiments, it is confirmed that this type of sand is potentially suitable as a subgrade material for traffic construction in Vietnam.

Authors:   UCLA, Barber Paul , Martinez Catalina , Garza Corey , Gibson Deidre , Davis Alexandra
Published: January 2024

Diversity in ocean sciences lags far behind US demographics. A substantial body of research highlights barriers that limit the participation and success of students from underrepresented minoritized (URM) and other marginalized groups in STEM disciplines, and a wealth of studies highlight successful interventions that improve the persistence of these groups in STEM higher education. Despite this knowledge, over the past four decades, ocean sciences has made limited progress in growing diversity within its workforce, suggesting new strategies are needed. Undergraduate research experiences are a pivotal pathway toward graduate education and future careers in ocean sciences, but they are plagued by many issues that limit the participation and success of persons from URM and other marginalized backgrounds. Here we summarize obstacles that limit participation of diverse populations in ocean sciences and highlight successful strategies for overcoming these obstacles. By re-envisioning how we approach undergraduate research experiences and bringing intentionality to the recruitment of students and the training environments that they experience, we can more effectively grow diversity in ocean sciences and unleash the power of diversity to address the pressing local and global problems facing marine ecosystems.
Koncerti na kazališnim daskama – prilog istraživanju
zadarskoga Novog kazališta (Teatro Nuovo) (1865. – 1945.)
Authors: Burić Ćenan Katica
Published: January 2024

U radu se govori o koncertnom životu Zadra u drugoj polovici 19., i prvoj polovici 20. stoljeća, odnosno, o koncertima koji su se održavali u dvorani zadarskoga Novog kazališta (Teatro Nuovo / Teatro Verdi). Zadarsko Novo kazalište (Teatro Nuovo) ime je dobilo zbog dugogodišnjeg postojanja prvog opernog kazališta u Zadru – Plemićko kazalište (Teatro Nobile) – koje je djelovalo od 1784. Godine 1901. Novo kazalište je preimenovano u Kazalište Verdi (Teatro Verdi) u spomen na Giuseppea Verdija koji je te godine umro. Rad polazi od istraživanja arhivskoga gradiva i to koncertnih plakata, letaka i programa koji se čuvaju u Državnom arhivu u Zadru i Znanstvenoj knjižnici Zadar, te onodobne periodike, ponajviše Narodnoga lista. Slijedeći nastupe brojnih domaćih i stranih umjetnika, u radu se neposredno progovara o repertoaru, publici i kritici, te učestalosti koncerata u razdoblju od izgradnje Novoga kazališta 1865. do posljednjih izvedbi 1930-ih i rušenja kazališta 1945. Okosnicu domicilnih glazbenih snaga činili su glazbenici zadarskoga Filharmonijskog društva koje je priređivalo pet do osam koncerata godišnje, a nerijetko su nastupali i s gostujućim umjetnicima. Na koncertnoj pozornici zadarskoga kazališta nastupali su glazbenici iz Zagreba, Splita, Rijeke i drugih gradova hrvatskih povijesnih prostora, a među stranim glazbenicima nalazimo ponajviše one iz Italije, ali i Njemačke te Rusije. Na temelju uvida u koncertnu djelatnost Novog kazališta, ne spominjući ovdje druge lokacije (Plemićko kazalište, katedrala sv. Stošije, Hrvatska čitaonica i dr.), razvidna je plodna umreženost domaćih i stranih glazbenika koja je osiguravala upućenost publike u recentnu europsku glazbenu scenu, ali i izvedbene domete.

Directed Graph-based Refinement of Three-dimensional Human Motion Data Using Spatial-temporal Information
Authors: Choi Changyun , Lee Jongmok , Chung Hyun-Joon , Park Jaejung , Park Bumsoo , Sohn Seokman , Lee Seungchul
Published: January 2024

With recent advances in computer science, there is an increasing need to convert human motion to digital data for human body research. Skeleton motion data comprise human poses represented via joint angles or joint positions for each frame of captured motion. Three-dimensional (3D) skeleton motion data are widely used in various applications, such as virtual reality, robotics, and action recognition. However, they are often noisy and incomplete because of calibration errors, sensor noise, poor sensor resolution, and occlusion due to clothing. Data-driven models have been proposed to denoise and fill incomplete 3D skeleton motion data. However, they ignore the kinematic dependencies between joints and bones, which can act as noise in determining a marker position. Inspired by a directed graph neural network, we propose a novel model to fill and denoise the markers. This model can directly extract spatial information by creating bone data from joint data and temporal information from the long short-term memory layer. In addition, the proposed model can learn the connectivity between joints via an adaptive graph. On evaluation, the proposed model showed good refinement performance for unseen data with a different type of noise level and missing data in the learning process.

Intended Involvement – How Public Organizations Struggle to Become Co-producers of New Public Values
Authors: Hoppe Magnus , Berglund Mattias , Annerfors Jacob , Bodén Victoria , Mossberg Emma , Sturk Malin , Sundgren Häggberg Åsa , Welander Jonas
Published: January 2024

The paper is guided by the question of how public organizations can adapt to include citizens as co-producers of public values. To answer it, eleven researchers and civil servants, all involved in the transformation of a collaborative platform encompassinga university and four different public organizations, formed a collaborative and boundary-spanning author. Building on personal expertise and situated organizational experiences we conclude that public organizations do not adapt except for specific confined areas where they can still control and command outcomes important to them. Hence, public organizations struggle to become co-producers of new public values. From the process, we also conclude that academics and civil servants together writing an academic article cannot be viewed as a fertile common ground for equal collaboration and co-production. Nevertheless, it might still work as an interesting boundary-spanning activity for arriving at shared understandings and important insights on for instance whyorganizational moves from intended to actual involvement appear difficult.

Public relations management in increasing the participation of student parents is one way of fostering and developing harmonious relationships between schools and school parents in establishing close relationships with school parents. The role and activities of good internal and external relations determine the success of an educational institution in achieving its mission and goals. This research uses a qualitative approach to present, analyze, and interpret to solve existing problems based on data. This qualitative method seeks to understand and interpret the meaning of an event involving human behavior in certain situations according to the researcher's perspective. The research results show that public relations management wants to improve the participation of the parents of students with the factors that influence it, namely the type of age class and the parents' livelihood. The steps taken to increase the participation of the parents of students are the first planning stage, which is how the school prepares the school activity program. The second stage is the implementation, which must be done by establishing good communication. The third stage, namely evaluation, aims to increase guardian participation.

Knocking on the Doors of Scripture
Authors: Baran Brendan Augustine ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2024

Several times, when faced with a difficult passage of scripture in Sermones ad populum, Augustine implores his audience, “knock and it shall be opened” (Matt. 7:7c; par. Luke 11:9c). Augustine uses this phrase to stress humility and the human need for God’s activity when interpreting scripture. Studying the archeological record of domestic architecture of locked doors in Roman North Africa elucidates Augustine’s message. Knowledge of the material culture shows that Augustine calls upon Christians to “knock” upon scripture as if it were a door, locked and barred in such a way that it could only be opened from inside. Thus, a reader of scripture is like a petitioner calling from outside a locked door, needing God to open its meaning. Augustine’s use of “knocking” contrasts with the metaphor of “keys” to scripture, which was favored by Tyconius and other early Christian writers. In De doctrina Christiana, Augustine expresses concern that “keys” could lead a person into overconfidence, expecting to unlock obscure passages of the Bible by his or her own power. Augustine’s frequent use of Matt. 7:7c is a call for exegetes to approach scripture with humility. All members of the totus Christus, great and small, must humbly knock. The image of “knocking” provides a versatile theological message: human effort is important, but the meaning of the Bible is ultimately unlocked by God’s activity.
Myocardial Protection in High-Risk Cardiopulmonary Bypass Support

The development of cardioplegia has facilitated complex cardiac surgery and allowed high-risk patients to safely tolerate life-saving procedures. By following the principles of electromechanical arrest, inducing hypothermia, and using adjunctive agents to help mitigate the effects of hypothermia and ischemia reperfusion injury, cardioplegia can be safely induced with various commercially available compositions, which can be delivered by several different surgical techniques. Although many studies have compared these methods, there is little consensus on whether any one method is superior to another. Just as a surgeon may need to modify technique according to individual patient factors, so too must a surgeon be flexible and be prepared to use different cardioplegia strategies according to the clinical circumstances. Increasing evidence shows the advantage of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) over percutaneous interventions in patients with low ejection fractions. Thus, optimal myocardial protection will continue to be necessary in this higher-risk cohort. Moreover, while patients in cardiogenic shock rarely present for CABG, the high mortality in this cohort demonstrates the need for ongoing efforts to improve myocardial protection. Lastly, there may be circumstances in which alternative approaches involving fibrillatory arrest or keeping the heart beating are more effective than conventional cardioplegia. These techniques should all be part of the surgeon’s armamentarium, enabling the surgeon to tailor the operation to the individual patient.

In Uganda, limited financial resources often obstruct higher education opportunities, particularly for those with modest incomes. Various financial aid initiatives have been introduced in an attempt to rectify this issue for equitable access. This study aimed to investigate the impact of financial aid initiatives on higher education accessibility, guided by two main research questions: (1) To what extent do financial aid programmes bolster access to higher education? (2) What challenges do students face in accessing financial aid for higher education? Employing a mixed-methods approach, data on enrolment into higher education institutions in Uganda were extracted from a National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) 2020 report for an overview into impacts of financial aid on access to higher education. For contextual and in-depth insight into the impacts of financial aid programmes on access to higher education, secondary data on loan schemes in two public universities and the Kabaka Education Fund in a private university were obtained and analysed using descriptive statistics. To understand the experiences and perspectives of financial aid programme recipients, qualitative interviews were conducted with a sample of 138 beneficiaries, including 12 individual recipients and 13 focus group discussions (FGDs) that involved 126 progressing recipients with about 9–10 persons per group from the three selected universities, whose responses were analysed using thematic content analysis. The results revealed that much as financial aid programmes have improved access to higher education in Ugandan universities, most financial services remain accessible primarily to wealthier individuals owing to barriers including application procedures, expenditure, discriminatory practices, limited information, a negative attitude towards aid and demotivation. The study recommends prioritising strategies that address the needs of a diverse student population to ensure equitable access to higher education, thereby promoting human progress, economic development, and the achievement of sustainable development goals.

This study assessed the influence of leadership styles on organisational effectiveness of selected public universities in Uganda. Specifically, the study assessed the influence of transformational, transactional and laissez-faire leadership styles on organisational effectiveness. The study used the correlational research design on a sample of 93 respondents that were university managers, namely administrative and academic heads of Busitema and Kyambogo Universities in Uganda. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analysed using quantitative methods that were descriptive and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) with the help of SmartPLS. Descriptive results revealed that organisational effectiveness, the use of transactional and laissez-faire leadership styles were moderate while the use of the transformational leadership style was high. SEM results indicated that while the transformational and transactional leadership styles had a significant positive influence on organisational effectiveness, the laissez-faire leadership style had a positive but insignificant influence on organisational effectiveness. It was, therefore, concluded that the transformational leadership and transactional leadership styles are imperative for organisational effectiveness of public universities but the laissez-faire style is not. The study recommended that university leaders should emphasise the use of the transformational and transactional leadership styles to enhance organisational effectiveness. However, university leaders should minimise the use of the laissez-faire leadership style. The significance of this study is that it identifies leadership styles that are necessary for enhancing organisational effectiveness.

Textually speaking, this study aims to enhance Indonesian values through teaching history on the theme of local heroes. Heroes are usually associated with local principles, traditions, and cultures. Building and preserving local identity and pride was greatly helped by local heroes. Their contribution is in accordance with the needs and characteristics of the community. This research was conducted qualitatively and using literary studies. The results of the research suggest that, firstly, the understanding of local heroes must be relevant to classroom history teaching from a philosophical and pedagogical point of view; secondly, fears or apriori about the emergence of primordialism or ethnosentrism in local history education must be eliminated; and thirdly, educators and historians, not students, must create popular ideas like a local hero.
The Urgency of Ta'dib in Tahfiẓ Al-Qur'an at Smp Tahfiẓ Ma'had Yasin Kudus (A Review of the Educational Thought of M. Naquib Al-Attas)

This research intends to reveal the urgency of the practice of ta'dib in SMP (Junior High School) Tahfiẓ al-Qur'an at Tahfiẓ Ma'had YASIN Kudus. The type of study used in this paper is qualitative; the author conducts the stages of obtaining the resulting data, including conducting interviews and observing and providing supporting documentation. The approach uses descriptive phenomenology. The author tries to explain the results of data from informants related to the urgency of ta'dib in supporting the process of memorizing the Qur'an (Tahfiẓ) at SMP Tahfiẓ Ma'had YASIN Kudus. This is very important because it is closely related to building moral manners in students to Kalamullah. One form of ta'dib towards the Qur'an is to read it as often as possible in a tikrar or repeat it as much as possible. The final result of this research shows that students of SMP Tahfiẓ Ma'had YASIN Kudus practice this ta'dib concept. When viewed from the perspective of Muhammad Naquib al-Attas's thought, ta'dib is central to the process of education and learning. In this context, Adab refers to discipline towards the physical and spiritual, emphasizing the position of physical and spiritual potential. Ta'dib is also intended to control the mind and soul to achieve something positive in both aspects, to show the correct behaviour and avoid the wrong behaviour.
