Successful Organizational Business Communication and its Impact on Business Performance: An Intra- and Inter-Organizational Perspective
Authors: Valiyeva Aynura , Thomas Basil John
Published: December 2022

Intra-firm communication is critical for building synergy amongst the internal business units of a firm, enabling employees from various functional departments and ranks to incorporate their decision-making, understanding of organizational objectives, and common norms and culture to achieve increased organizational effectiveness. This study builds on and assesses a framework of the causes and consequences of effective communication in business interactions between customer and supplier firms, as well as the path for efficient communication within a firm. The proposed study’s structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis based on 352 responses collected from firm representatives in different job positions, ranging from marketing to logistics operations, revealed that in terms of intra-organizational communication, organization characteristics and shared values, top management support and style of leadership, and information technology were all significantly related to communication effectiveness. Furthermore, the frequency and variety of interactions enhanced communication outcomes, thus improving company performance. The results revealed that cultural factors were significantly related to communication effectiveness, as well as shared beliefs and goals. The organizational factors of leadership style, top management support, and information technology were significant determinants of effective communication. Among the contextual factors, interaction frequency and diversity were found to be significant. The study also tested the relationship between supplier and supplier firm performance in the context of communication effectiveness and found that they were closely related when trust and commitment were built between business partners.

Published: December 2022

Serbest zaman etkinlikleri, insanların gündelik yaşamlarından ve iş yüklerinden artakalan zamanlarında gönüllü olarak yaptıkları etkinliklerdir. Ülkemizde, özellikle erkekler için sportif serbest zaman etkinliği denildiğinde akla ilk futbol gelmektedir. Futbol ve serbest zaman ilişkisinden ortaya çıkan en önemli sektör ise kuşkusuz halı saha futboludur. Buradan hareketle bu araştırmanın amacı; rekreatif amaçlı futbol oynayan yetişkin bireylerin futbola ilişkin ilgilenim düzeylerinin araştırılmasıdır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 425 halı saha futbolu katılımcısı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak “Serbest Zaman İlgilenim Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde; betimsel istatistikler, t-testi, Pearson ve Spearman korelasyon testleri kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların serbest zaman etkinliği olarak futbol ilgilenim düzeyleri ‘Önem Verme’ boyutunda medeni durum, eğitim durumu ve geçmişte futbol oynama durumu değişkenlerine göre anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaşmaktadır. ‘Çekicilik’ boyutunda ise sadece geçmişte futbol oynama durumu değişkenine göre anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca yaş ile ‘Önem Verme’, ‘Özdeşleşme’ ve ‘Kendini İfade Etme’ alt boyutları arasında negatif yönde ve düşük düzeyde; rekreatif aktivitelere katılım sıklığı değişkeni ile tüm alt boyutlar arasında pozitif yönde ve düşük düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, katılımcıların serbest zaman etkinliği olarak futbolu çekici buldukları ve sosyalleşmelerine katkı sağladığı için tercih ettiklerini göstermektedir. Evli olmayan ve lise mezunu olan katılımcılar, futbola daha çok önem vermektedir. Geçmişte futbol oynamış olan bireyler futbola hem önem vermekte hem de çekici bulmaktadır. Aktivite katılım sıklığı arttıkça da ilgilenim düzeyi artmaktadır.

Authors: István Lilla , Czakó Cecília , Gyenes Andrea , Nagy Zoltán Zsolt , Kovács Illés
Published: December 2022

Bevezetés: A carotis-szűkület a nyugati világban a halálozás és a tartós egészségkárosodás egyik vezető oka. A betegség a szisztémás ateroszklerózis következménye, amely az idősödő populáció nagy részét érinti. Az optikai koherencia tomográfia-angiográfia (OCTA) egy új vizsgálómódszer a retinalis érhálózat vizsgálatára. A gyors, könnyen megismételhető, nem invazív vizsgálat segítségével kvalitatív és kvantitatív információt nyerhetünk a mikrokeringésről. Az agyi- és retinalis keringés hasonló anatómiai, fiziológiai és embriológiai tulajdonságokkal bír, így a retina mikrokeringésének vizsgálata egyedülálló lehetőséget nyújt az agyi kisérbetegségek patogenezisének in vivo tanulmányozására. Módszerek: Jelen vizsgálatunk során 56, carotis-szűkületes beteg 112 szemének OCTA-adatait hasonlítottuk össze 45 egészséges kontrollszemély adataival. A vizsgálatok során három egymást követő, 3×3 mm-es felvételt készítettünk a makula területéről, majd ezeken vizsgáltuk az érhálózat sűrűségét. Eredmények: Megállapítottuk, hogy a képminőség jelentősen befolyásolja a mért adatokat, ezzel ismételten alátámasztva korábbi vizsgálataink eredményeit. Továbbá leírtuk, hogy a felszínes retinalis érhálózat sűrűsége a carotis-szűkületes csoportban szignifikánsan alacsonyabb volt a kontrollcsoporthoz viszonyítva. Következtetések: Eredményeink alátámasztják, hogy a szignifikáns carotis-szűkület megléte összefüggést mutat a mikrocirkuláció változásaival. Az OCTA-vizsgálat segítségünkre lehet az agyi keringés állapotának megítélésére a retinalis érhálózat finom eltéréseinek detektálásával.

Authors: KUMAR Rahul , THAKUR A. K. , KULABHİ A. , MİSHRA A.
Published: December 2022

The solubility data of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients in organic solvents is an essential for pharmaceutical crystallization and drug formulation. In this work, two semi-empirical correlations- the Yaws model and λ-h model- and two thermodynamic models – Wilson Model and the Non-random two-liquid model- are used to estimate the solubility of lornoxicam in ethanol and water. The model parameters and correlations coefficients are calculated by optimizing the average relative deviation. The values of these parameters will be helpful to estimate the solubility of lornoxicam at different temperatures where the experimental solubility data is not available. The predicted solubility data of lornoxicam can be further utilized in the pharmaceutical crystallization and drug formulation.

Parent Groups Established with Instant Messaging Applications for Math Lessons During Covid-19: Parents' Opinions
Authors: KUCUKGENCAY Naci , PEKER Bilge
Published: December 2022

It is known that communication between parents and instructors has decreased significantly due to the lockdowns and distance education implemented due to Covid19. This shortcoming is being attempted to be remedied via instant messaging applications. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to learn what parents' opinions are of parent groups that math teachers have created using online instant messaging applications like WhatsApp, Bip, Telegram, etc. during the Covid-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data for the study, which was planned as a case study, and content analysis was used to analyze the data. Five male and five female parents of secondary school-aged children make up the study group, they were chosen using the criteria sampling method. The parent groups created using instant messaging applications are commonly used for announcements, homework, homework controls, the distribution of course materials, video URLs, reminders, and the delivery of lesson URLs and passwords for online courses. Students in certain groups also sent mathematics questions to the parent groups, where the problems were answered by the students' teachers. Although it is clear that these groups are helpful for parents in general, there are some drawbacks, including teachers' loss of interest in the groups towards the end of the school year, concerns about security of personal information, late-night messages, and unnecessary talks.

Authors: KHAN Adeeba , KHAN Naveed
Published: December 2022

Women make up half of the world's population, but they continue to face significant barriers to success including the glass ceiling. It refers to the invisible professional hurdles that women confront in the workplace. Women encounter challenges in practically every field of business today, including positive successes such as promotions and awards, which jeopardize their status and role in the workplace. Although the glass ceiling has piqued the interest of researchers, some authors have noted that theoretical models have made little effort to develop an understanding of the phenomenon and its implications. The main objective of the research was to find out the impact of glass barriers on women's career advancement in academia, as well as to analyze the mediating role of work-family conflict the mediating linkage between the glass ceiling and women's career success and perceived organizational support as moderating to reduce the negativity between conflict and women careers. The data was gathered using an adopted questionnaire with a sample size of 325. The included hypothesis under this research is being tested using sampling criteria. According to the results of the study, all hypotheses were accepted. Theoretical and managerial implications were also discussed along with future recommendations and limitations.
Una pronominalització inesperada d’alguns sintagmes de mesura temporals
Authors: Rigau Gemma
Published: December 2022

El cas partitiu en català, així com el clític en que el representa, sol ser descrit com el cas del complement directe indefinit (o escarit) dels verbs transitius i del subjecte indefinit (o escarit) postverbal dels predicats inacusatius. Ara bé, en algunes construccions quasicopulatives hi ha alguns sintagmes de mesura temporal amb l’aparença de sintagmes adjunts que expressen cas partitiu. Aquest article ofereix proves que aquests sintagmes de mesura temporal no són adjunts ni tampoc arguments verbals sinó arguments d’una estructura sintàctica en la qual una preposició locativa abstracta s’ha incorporat al verb. Aquesta anàlisi del cas partitiu com a cas inherent assignat per una preposició locativa incorporada al verb es pot estendre a altres configuracions sintàctiques del català els verbs de les quals han perdut el seu significat enciclopèdic dinàmic, tals com passar i portar.
Variable First Person Singular Subject Expression in Spoken Valencian Catalan
Authors: Herbeck Peter
Published: December 2022

In this paper, I analyze first person singular subject pronoun expression in spoken Valencian Catalan varieties. I present a quantitative and qualitative analysis of 7 interviews from the corpus Parlars, examining 1sg subject rates regarding tense markings (syncretic vs. non-syncretic forms), verb type, and discourse type (monologues vs. conversations). It will be shown that the factor of morphological syncretism as well as verb type influence 1sg subject expression rates. Differently from what has been observed in some previous studies on Spanish, cognitive verbs are not associated with particularly high 1sg subject expression rates, but verbs of saying are. Looking at frequent verb forms in the spoken interviews, it will be shown that (jo) dic ‘(I) say’ plays an important role, direct speech being a commonly used mechanism in the data examined here. Furthermore, discourse type (monologue vs. conversation) affects subject expression rates. These results suggest that 1sg subject expression is influenced by an interaction of verb morphology, verb type and specific verb forms, but that subject expression rates and the factors influencing them vary depending on particular pro-drop varieties, discourse types and the type of data. Looking at the contexts in which the strong pronoun jo ‘I’ is used with verbs of saying in spoken Valencian Catalan, I argue that subject expression triggers a perspectival, rather than referential shift in several cases.

Los límites entre el complemento de régimen y el complemento circunstancial
Authors: CHACON GARCIA CARMEN
Published: December 2022

Este artículo constituye una revisión de los conceptos de complemento de régimen y complemento circunstancial. Se presentan una serie de criterios sintácticos para identificar estos constituyentes, que presentan en ocasiones una estructura aparentemente semejante.  El objetivo es mostrar cómo la teoría de la predicación facilita la enseñanza de esta parcela del sistema lingüístico, a través del análisis de estructuras breves y sencillas. La reflexión gramatical que se plantea está fundamentada en dos publicaciones académicas: la Nueva gramática de la lengua española (NGLE) y el Glosario de términos gramaticales (GTG).
Este artículo presenta, en primer lugar, una caracterización del complemento de régimen y el complemento circunstancial, a partir de las nociones semánticas de predicado, argumento y adjunto. En la segunda parte, abordaremos las fronteras borrosas de esta clasificación, que no siempre permite identificar con claridad los constituyentes. Por último, planteamos modelos de ejercicios y actividades que permiten reflexionar sobre estas funciones sintácticas, siguiendo las recomendaciones para el aprendizaje de la gramática en secundaria y bachillerato de Gallego y Bosque (2016).
Tres casos de complementos no prototípicos: los complementos seleccionados de medida, manera y lugar
Authors: Real Puigdollers Cristina
Published: December 2022

En este artículo analizo tres complementos que son de difícil clasificación en la gramática escolar: el complemento de manera, el complemento locativo y el complemento de medida o cantidad seleccionado por el predicado verbal. Teniendo en cuenta que, tradicionalmente, el aprendizaje de contenidos gramaticales en secundaria se basa fundamentalmente en el etiquetado de constituyentes a partir de un conjunto finito de posibles funciones gramaticales, estos complementos escapan a las tradicionales categorías disponibles. En concreto, estos complementos se clasifican generalmente como complementos circunstanciales a pesar de que sintácticamente tienen propiedades que los asemejan a los argumentos. En este artículo, defiendo que estos complementos son predicados que se combinan con verbos estativos semánticamente inespecíficos para formar una suerte de predicado complejo que permita la caracterización del sujeto.

Authors: Portal-Cahuana Leif Armando , Zevallos-Pollito Percy Amilcar , Grandez-Piña Erick
Published: December 2022

Los fósiles de madera son un recurso importante para conocer información del pasado, sin embargo, se conoce muy poco de la madera fosilizada en la Amazonía peruana, que especies existieron y de que época son. Aquí describimos anatómicamente y por primera vez un fragmento de madera y determinamos su antigüedad mediante C14. La muestra encontrada proviene de la zona minera de San Bernardo en la región de Madre de Dios en Perú. Los resultados muestran que el fragmento de madera fosilizada pertenece a una especie latifoliada, con presencia de porosidad difusa, textura media y parénquima aliforme. Sobre la determinación de la antigüedad del fragmento, lamentablemente los análisis mostraron que el carbono el fragmento ha sido completamente reemplazado, razón por la cual no se pudo determinar su antigüedad mediante C14. Finalmente destacamos la importancia de realizar esta clase de estudios en la Amazonía peruana.

Digital Drama Technique in English as a Foreign Language Teaching and Learning: From Viewers’ and Actors’ Perspectives
Authors: Thao Le Thanh , Yen Phuong Hoang , Khang Nguyen Duy , Khoi Vuong Tan Minh , Quyen Bui Nha
Published: December 2022

Purpose: Due to the emergence of COVID -19, the transition from offline to online teaching also changes how drama techniques work. Specifically, the digital drama technique was used to teach English, when regular classes were almost impossible.   There seems to be very little, if any, research on digital drama techniques, especially in the Vietnamese context. Consequently, this study examines   how the digital drama technique   affects Vietnamese students learning English as a foreign language (EFL). Additionally, the differences and similarities between teachers’ and students’ perceptions of the technique’s impact are examined.

Methodology: The study used a quantitative approach. A survey was used to collect data from 1207 students and 69 teachers.

Findings: The survey revealed that the technique was helpful for   EFL students’ learning. The participants mostly perceived the positive impacts of the technique.  However, differences in perception between teacher and student were discovered.   The students considered it beneficial for improving their writing and reading skills while teachers perceived this technique as helpful in exploring new creative ideas.

Practical implications: The technique was approved as useful for language teaching and learning. English teachers are encouraged to use this technique in their teaching in practice.

Contribution to literature: The study becomes a good source for further research to build a more profound theoretical framework. More researchable ideas related to this unique online teaching technique are suggested to enrich the literature in this field.

Obtaining meaningful insights from publication metrics
Authors: Rees Tomas
Published: December 2022

Altmetrics and other article-level metrics offer new opportunities to understand the impact of medical publications and, indeed, clinical trial programmes. For example, we can learn whether the publication has been viewed, shared, engaged with, or cited on different platforms. These metrics have limitations, but new tools and techniques for aggregating and summarising different metrics are making it easier for publication planners to understand the impact of their publications.
DURABILITY INVESTIGATION OF A DISC-TYPE CLUTCH
WITH ELECTRORHEOLOGICAL FLUID
Authors: Olszak Artur
Published: December 2022

The article concerns experimental research on the durability of a viscotic disc-type clutch with an
electrorheological fluid. Viscotic clutches are currently used in the power transmission of multiple
machines. The development of the viscotic clutch design is possible due to the use of working fluids with
electrorheological properties, which renders it possible to control the drivetrain with the use of an electric
current. The durability of the clutches with electrorheological fluid is important in determining the possibility
of industrial use. On the basis of bench tests of a viscotic disc clutch, the article presents considerations
regarding the operating factors of the clutch. These factors considerably impact the durability of the clutch
and its components, including the working fluid.

Published: December 2022

A tricycle type manually operated foliar applicator was developed with ground clearance of 74.15 cm that can be operated on standing wheat crop having row spacing of 20-22 cm. The physical properties of urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) with 3% N were found nearly equal to water with respect to dynamic viscosity, surface tension and specific gravity of UAN. Based on pressure, discharges requirement and corrosiveness of UAN, reciprocating typePVC pump (2 no.) with capacity of 4.53 l/min each was selected for the sprayer. Three type of nozzles, i.e. flat fan, stream jet SJ7 and stream jet SJ3 were evaluated in terms of discharge, spray pattern and spray angle at different heights and pressures. Spray pattern and uniformity of spray distribution of nozzles (flat fan, stream jet SJ3 and SJ7) were determined on patternator test rig. Flat fan nozzles showed most uniform pattern at 2 kg/cm2 pressure and 500 mm nozzle height, whereas streamjet SJ7 showed maximum uniformity at 1.6 kg/cm2 and 600 mm height. Streamjet SJ3 nozzles were found suitable for low boom height and directed application of fertilizer. Variation in discharge of nozzles among the boom was observed less than 10% while operated in field. Field capacity of the developed foliar applicator was found 0.3 ha/h. Operating pressure of 1.5 kg/cm2 was found ergonomically suitable with an average heart rate and energy expenditure of 119 beats/min and 26.7 kJ/min, respectively for operating the prototype. The break-even point (BEP) and payback period (PBP) of developed foliar applicator were estimated as 113.43 h/year and 4 years at the operational cost of Rupees 94.68/ha.

Published: December 2022

A field experiment was conducted at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Regional Research Station, Karnal to investigate the effect of available soil moisture regimes on productivity potential of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) varieties during 2014-15 and 2015-16. The experiment consists of three moisture regimes based on available soil moisture (ASM), i.e. irrigation at 50% ASM (control), 40% ASM (mild stress) and 30% ASM (severe stress) in main plots and four commercial sugarcane varieties differing in maturity duration, i.e. CoS 767 (Mid late), CoH 128 (Mid late), CoJ 64 (Early) and Co 0238 (Early) in sub plot was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. Soil moisture treatments were initiated after 45 days of planting (DAP). Higher germination was recorded in CoJ 64 (65.5%) and CoS 767 (58.0%) as compared to Co 0238 (49.0%) and CoH 128 (48.5%) at 45 DAP. At 30% ASM levels, higher reduction in stalk height was recorded in CoH 128 (33.6 and 85.96 cm) and CoJ 64 (36.33 and 83.03cm) as compared to CoS 767 (41.83 and 107.06 cm) and Co 0238 (50.6 and 122.76 cm) in June and July, respectively. Total number of tillers was reduced by 12.99, 14.37 and 14.5% at 40% ASM level and 16.97, 24.29 and 20.04% at 30% ASM level as compared to irrigation at 50% ASM level in the month of May, June and July, respectively. Significantly higher values of brix, pol and CCS (%) were recorded in CoJ 64 and Co 0238 as compared to CoS 767 and CoH 128 at 8th, 10th and 12th month at all levels of ASM. Varieties and ASM levels had no effect on the specific activity of sucrose synthase. Sugar yield significantly reduced by 31.11 per cent at 40% ASM level and 40.57 per cent at 30% ASM level, respectively as compared to 50% ASM level. Co 0238 and CoS 767 showed minimum reduction in yield than CoH 128 and CoJ 64. From the present study it is concluded that Co 0238 and CoS 767 are identified relatively more tolerant at 30% and 40% ASM levels than CoH 128 and CoJ 64.

Published: December 2022

Limited information is available on the impacts of long-term organic nutrient management practices on different nitrogen pools and urease enzyme activity. Hence, the major objective of this study was to evaluate long-term (12 years) organic nutrient management practicesâ€™ impact on different nitrogen pools and urease activity. Treatments were two cropping systems, viz. rice (Oryza sativa L.) â€“wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] (RWMCS) and rice-wheat (RWCS) in strips and seven nutrient combinations, i.e. FYM equivalent to 60kg N/ha, VC equivalent to 60 kg N/ha, FYM + crop residue (CR) of preceding crop @ 3 t/ha for each rice, wheat and mungbean, VC+CR, FYM+CR+BF and VC+CR+BF and control under sub-plots. Available N, microbial biomass N (MBN), mineral N, potential mineralizable (PMN), total N and urease enzyme assay were analysed in 0-15 cm soil depth. Results showed that FYM+CR+BF recorded 5.5% and 7.7% higher available N as compared to the FYM alone in both RWMCS and RWCS, respectively. Similarly, an increment of 4.0% and 7.5% in available N was observed with VC+CR+BF over VC alone in both the cropping systems, respectively. MBN ranged from 47.1 mg/kg (control) to 69.6mg/kg (FYM) under RWMCS and 43.2 mg/kg (control) to 67.6 mg/kg (FYM) under RWCS. Treatments FYM+CR and FYM+CR+BF showed 5.0% and 30% lower ammonical N as compared to FYM alone treatments in RWMCS. Concurrently, in case of RWCS, the magnitude of decrease in ammonical N content was similar (21.1%) both in FYM+CR and FYM+CR+BF. The total mineral nitrogen (NH4+ -N+ NO 3 - -N) content was significantly influenced by the application of organic manures, crop residues and biofertilizers in both RWMCS and RWCS and their interaction effects. The FYM+CR+BF treatment recorded highest (56.4 mg/kg) potential mineralizable N (PMN) among all the treatments with an increment of 86.4% and 104% the over control in RWMCS and RWCS, respectively. The VC+CR showed 6.1% and 5.5% higher total N content over the control in RWMCS and RWCS, respectively. The content of urease enzyme ranged from 155.1 Î¼g urea/g soil/h (control) to 230.4 Î¼g urea/g soil/h (VC+CR) and 144.3 Î¼g urea/g soil/h (control) to 233.6 Î¼g urea/g soil/h (FYM+CR) in RWMCS and RWCS, respectively

Published: December 2022

A subset of 19 genotypes was formulated on the basis of mean values for various traits related to nitrogen use efficiency from 175 genotypes comprising advance breeding lines and released Indian wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars observed under hydroponic condition. This subset was further evaluated in the pipe under nitrogen limiting environment for the various traits related to nitrogen use efficiency and other agronomic parameters. Variabilitystudy shows wide ranges of variation for the traits under studies. Nitrogen uptake efficiency (NUpE) shows more variation in comparisons to nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUtE) under N limiting condition. All of below ground and above ground traits except plant height shows positive correlation with nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). A positive correlation between shoot dry weight and root dry weight indicates no conflict for resource allocation and both can be simultaneously improved through selection in the breeding programme to improve NUE. Cluster analysis showedthat cluster III found to be best performing for NUE trait and can be used in selection or to generate desirable genetic variability. In this study, the derivative of the cross HD 2967/DT 2761 show high root dry weight (RDW), shoot dry weight (SDW) and thus finally lead to high NUE under limiting N and can be used further in breeding programmes.

The experiment was carried out to determine the commercially viable technique for multiplication of Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers ex Hook. F and Thoms (giloy). In the open field condition using the variable numbers of nodes per cutting were investigated and observed that three and four nodes cuttings were significantly superior in growth and survival parameters but involved more planting/stock materials. Therefore, to reduce the planting stocks, cuttings with one node with and without stem part were evaluated. Single bud cuttings with both side wood (stem part) showed significantly higher growth and survival percent in comparison to only bud without stem portion and bud with one side stem wood. Among all the tested technique, four budsâ€™ technique was nearly found superior in growth parameters but not significant with three buds, which was proven for higher survival percent. However, single bud cutting technique involved minimum cost and economically proven superior for one-ha plantation as compare to available traditional techniques. The present study indicated that for T. cordifolia, mini cuttings (bud with both side stem wood) techniques is the best propagation method for commercial multiplication.

The effectiveness of an extension system referred to its ability to meet the farmer needs in providing the new technology which suits to their conditions and results in better production. Recently the demand for information on agricultural practices and technology among the farmers is increasing day by day but fulfilment of these demands exclusively by public agricultural extension system is limited. To address this challenge, information communication technology (ICT) has the immense role in supplementing the extension system. Among the ICT tools, mobile phone, because of its affordability, accessibility, minimum skill requirement, widespread network etc., has emerged as important tool for information and knowledge dissemination to the smallholder and marginal farmers. But it is necessary to study how effective they are in achieving the respective objectives.The present investigation was conducted to study the effectiveness of mKRISHIÂ® PAWS (Personalised Advisory on Water and Soil) in Dehradun district of Uttarakhand state. An ex-post facto research design was used for this study. Total 136 messages were sent to the respondents. The data was collected from 240 beneficiary farmers of the north-western Himalayan region. The effectiveness of the mKRISHIÂ® PAWS in technology advisory and delivery services were measured by developing an effectiveness index for the purpose. Results showed that 93.8% of farmers perceive that quality of information regarding the latest NRM technologies in soil and water conservation was excellent and 83.75% of the farmers felt that the information regarding the latest NRM technologies in soil and water conservation was appropriate to their condition. The study revealed that the extension services delivered by mKRISHIÂ® PAWS were found to be highly effective by majority of the farmers. 34.58% farmers perceived that the mKRISHIÂ® PAWS was very highly effective as a mean of getting their information needs.

A field experiment was conducted at IARI, New Delhi during 2014-15 and 2015-16 to study the effect of Bt cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) establishment methods (CEMs) and planting geometry on plant growth, yield and weed suppression behaviour in Bt cotton vis-Ã -vis system productivity, profitability, water-productivity, production-efficiency, economic-efficiency and land use efficiency. The experiment was laid out in split-plot-design with four replications comprising two CEMs [transplanted-cotton (TPC) and direct-seeded-cotton (DSC)] and three planting geometries/plant densities [(90Ã—60 cm (18,518 plants/ha); 75 Ã— 45 cm (29629 plants/ha) and 60Ã—45 cm (37,037 plants/ha)] and four cropping systems viz. TPCâˆ’wheatâˆ’mungbean; TPCâˆ’onionâˆ’fodder cowpea + maize; DSCâˆ’wheat; and DSCâˆ’onion cropping system under above two CEMs. Among CEMs, the DSC-cotton resulted in higher plant growth though the seed yield and lint yield were respectively higher by ~9.54% and ~15% under TPC-cotton over DSC-cotton due to better plant stand in TPCâ€“CEM. On an average, the significantly highest system productivity in terms of seed-cottonequivalent- yield (SCEY) was registered in TPCâˆ’wheatâˆ’mungbean/TPCâˆ’onionâˆ’fodder cowpea + maize cropping systems (mean of both systems) during 2014â€“15 (6.75 t/ha) and 2015â€“16 (6.96 t/ha), respectively. In general, the legume-intensification in TPCâ€“based cropping systems exhibited about 25 to 27% higher system yield (SCEY) over DSCâ€“based cropping systems. The TPCâ€“based cropping systems exhibited additional net economic gains of ` 43000/ ha vis-Ã -vis higher weed suppression, system crop and water productivity, system economic-efficiency and landâ€“use efficiency over the DSCâ€“based systems. Likewise, planting geometry/planting density of 60 Ã— 45 cm (37037 plants/ ha) exhibited significantly higher system productivity (SCEY) (6.58 t/ha), system net returns (` 178450/ha), system water-productivity and system economic-efficiency over other two planting geometries viz. 75 Ã— 45 cm and 90 Ã— 60 cm. In nutshell, system-intensification through transplanted Bt-cotton based cropping systems (TPCâˆ’wheatâˆ’mungbean/ TPCâˆ’onionâˆ’fodder cowpea + maize) and planting geometry/planting density of 60 Ã— 45 cm (37037 plants/ha) led to higher weed suppression, system productivity, system economic-efficiency, system water-productivity and landâ€“use efficiency in Indoâ€“Gangetic plains region.

Неполная информация о локализации, протяженности и характере опухоли при спинальных осложнениях не позволяет выполнять сложные операции передним доступом, поэтому большинство хирургов в таких ситуациях считают возможным ограничить оперативное пособие декомпрессивной ламинэктомией с задним спондилодезом, в наиболее сложных случаях без фиксации позвоночника. Цель работы - изучить эффективность декомпрессивно-стабилизирующих операций передним и задним доступом у больных с опухолями тел позвонков, осложненными компрессией спинного мозга. Материалы и методы. Обследованы 55 госпитализированных по срочным показаниям больных с выраженным болевым синдромом, с трудом купировавшимся наркотическими анальгетиками, и спинальными нарушениями в виде грубых парезов (38) и параличей (17, из них у 15 в сочетании с нарушениями функций тазовых органов), обусловленных опухолью в шейном (35) и грудном (20) отделе позвоночника. Результаты и обсуждение. Декомпрессивно-стабилизирующие операции у больных с опухолями тел позвонков, осложненными сдавлением спинного мозга, ограничивающими диагностические возможности, позволило предотвратить прогрессирование спинальных осложнений и вторичную компрессию спинного мозга у 39 человек. Оперативное лечение существенно не отразилось на продолжительности жизни, но в значительной мере повлияло на ее качество. Наиболее эффективны операции передним доступом. По нашему мнению, их лучшие результаты обусловлены возможностью удаления опухолевых масс с полноценной декомпрессией спинного мозга и прочной стабилизацией позвоночника.

This paper describes a solution for the FishAI competition organized by Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium. The competition consisted of three tasks: forecasting the location with the most fish caught by date, creating the optimal fishing plan, and providing a visualization for the fishermen to utilize these results.

We compared multiple approaches for the forecasting task. The most promising approach approach to creating the optimal fishing plan was to complete k-means clustering and subsequently solving the traveling salesman problem for the most viable forecast locations. Our visualization consisted of an interactive map with efficient fishing locations and routes as well as key performance indicators.

Our results suggest that forecasting the single best fishing location is difficult but that efficient fishing plans can be formulated based on forecasts for larger regions.
