Authors: Utari Tri , Lubis Khairiza , Rahmah Siti
Published: February 2024

This study aims to produce a product in the form of a practical work guidebook for making nata de coco to help smooth the practical work process, which was adapted from the development of a 4-D model. The 4-D model consists of 4 stages, namely the stage of defining, designing, developing and disseminating. The level of feasibility of the practical work guidebook is carried out through a validation process by material experts, media experts and supported by responses from teachers and students. The results of the validation carried out by material expert validators and media experts were categorized as "Very Eligible" with 95% and 92.85% respectively. Meanwhile, the teacher's response and the student's response were also categorized as "Good" with 95% and 99% respectively. This is supported by the effectiveness test conducted in the cognitive (pretest and posttest) and psychomotor domains. In the cognitive domain, it shows a fairly good score, which has a difference between the initial ability (pretest) and the final ability (posttest) with an average value of 46.32 to 78.12. The t test also shows a significant value of 0.000 with the "medium" N-Gain category (60.6%). The psychomotor domain also produced a score with an average of 82 of the overall score or the “Excellent” category. Based on the research data, it can be interpreted that the book developed has a considerable influence on practical learning outcomes and can facilitate students to learn, both with educators and independently in making nata de coco which is packaged in an attractive and easy to understand manner.

Authors: Suhardin musa ibrahim  , Ukik Agustina
Published: February 2024

Malaria has been a health issue recently that can cause death. The high incidence of malaria is closely related to several factors. Such as during the rainy season where spring water flows stagnant, in puddles of rainwater on the ground, and in rock holes. In the dry season, groundwater sources decrease, causing puddles to form along rivers. These puddles of water are used as breeding places. The aim of the research is to determine the relationship between puddle water conditions and the incidence of malaria in Waimaringi Village. The type of research used was analytical observational with a cross-sectional approach. Population size 800 respondents. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, totaling 267 respondents. Data analysis used bivariate analysis with the Chi Square test at a significance level of α ≤ 0.05. The research results were found to be significant at 0.000 or smaller than 0.05, so H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted where there was a relationship between puddle water conditions and the incidence of malaria in Waimaringi Village.

According to Soetjiningsih (1997), the most common problem in breastfeeding is nipple pain / blisters, about 57% of mothers who breastfeed reported having suffered from blisters on their nipples. Nipples of blisters can prevent exclusive breastfeeding. Based on data in the Viqueque district hospital in Dili East Timor 2019, in 10 breastfeeding mothers, there were still many breastfeeding mothers who experienced blisters on the nipples . The design of this study included quantitative research with cross-sectional type of correlation design. The population in this study were all breastfeeding mothers who visited the Viqueque City Hospital in East Timor by taking the sample with the type of accidental sampling, amounting to 44 respondents. The variable in this research is the technique of breastfeeding and nipple milk with ordinal scale. This research was conducted in December 2019 until July 2020. In this study analyzed by contingency coefficient test with α o, 05. The results of the study after being tested with contingency coefficient obtained p-value = 0.008 < α = 0.05 (p-value <α) which means that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that there is a relationship between breastfeeding techniques and nipple milk nipples. Incorrect position in breastfeeding is a natural thing that occurs early in the breastfeeding period. Both mother and baby are in the learning stage. If the position is improperly attempted, the position is replaced until finally I find the right position. As time goes by, mother will become professional until finally she can find the right position for mother and baby. When the position is right, surely the mother's nipples will not blister.

NORMALIZED DIFFERENTIAL VEGETATION INDEX OF WINTER WHEAT DEPENDING ON THE RATES OF NITROGEN FERTILIZER AND NITRIFICATION INHIBITOR
Authors: Muntyan S. V. , Shatkovskyi A. P. , Semenko L. O.
Published: February 2024

The article presents the results of experimental studies of the relationship between the normalized differential vegetation index and the yield of winter wheat at different rates of nitrogen fertilizers and the nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate with сarbamide-ammonia mixture (CAM-32). Field research was carried out in 2018-2021 in the research department of the Limited Liability Agricultural Company (LLAC) "Druzhba Nova" of the Varvyn district of the Chernihiv region (department of the «Kernel» agricultural holding). Analytical and mathematical and statistical methods were used to process experimental data. The normalized differential vegetation index (NDWI) was determined from the satellite images of WorldView-2, WorldView-3, Geoeye-1 (Maxar USA). The scheme of the one-factor field experiment was the use of options with different rates of nitrogen fertilizers (N100 and N120), as well as the use of the nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate in mixture to CAM-32. The control (backgroung) option was the application of fertilizers at the rate of N10P30K40. The results of experimental studies proved that NDWI is directly correlated with the yield of winter wheat for all 4 years of research. It was established that the NDWI, on average over three summer months, was higher in 2018 in the range of 0,56-0,67 and in 2020 – 0,53-0,66. The yield of winter wheat was also higher in 2018 and 2020, namely: in 2018 from 3,72 t/ha to 8,14 t/ha and in 2020 – from 3,77 t/ha to 7,25 t/ha. The NDWI, in 2019 and 2021, averaged over three summer months according to the experiment options was lower and amounted to 0,33-0,38 in 2019, and 0,30-0,33 in 2021. This trend correlates with winter wheat yields, which were also low during this period. So, in 2019 it was 3,63 t/ha – 5,10 t/ha and in 2021 – 3,83–4,81 t/ha. The correlation coefficient between NDWI and the yield of winter wheat was high: in July and August, it was from 0,93 to 0,97 on the options with nitrogen fertilizer rates N100 and N120.

The article analyzes the results of using the decision-making support system to identify the destruction areas of reclamation systems and evaluates the state of irrigated agriculture by the remote sensing, as well as proves its ability to form and provide the user with preliminary information about the state of reclamation infrastructure. Most of the relatively new and functioning irrigation systems are currently out of the control of the Government of Ukraine due to the occupation of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions by the Russians. Irrigation and drainage systems, over which control was restored and which were in the zone of direct hostilities, were in a destroyed state, and the undermining of the Kakhovska HPP by the occupiers makes it impossible to further use the irrigation systems of both the occupied and unoccupied parts of Ukraine, which were provided with water directly from the Kakhovska reservoir. To provide a rapid visual identification of destruction areas of reclamation systems for evaluating damage to irrigation and drainage infrastructure in 2023, the capabilities of the information system developed at the Institute of Water Problems and Land Reclamation of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Ukraine have been expanded. On the example of the Odesa region, based on basic information about pumping stations of reclamation systems and available information using ACLED technology about hostilities, explosions, artillery attacks, etc., as a result of Russian aggression, a synthesized image was formed, which can be used for visual evaluation of the impact of hostilities on reclamation systems in both individual areas and the whole country. The information system was used for zoning regions by the intensity of military impacts and expected damage to the infrastructure of irrigation and drainage systems. The evaluation of indirect damage zones was carried out using remote sensing data by the NDVI index, which indicates a decrease in the accumulation of biomass in the areas of irrigation systems.  The forecast for the further use of irrigated land is based on a statistical analysis of the data on the conclusion of contracts for special water use, which proved a four-fold decrease in water demand, planned for 2022.

The study results can be used to evaluate the damage caused to Ukraine as a result of the war and confirm the devastating impact of the war on the irrigation and drainage sectors.
Genotoxicity Assessment of Quinoin, a Ribosome Inactivating Protein from Quinoa Seeds, in the Teleost Danio rerio

Published: February 2024

Background: Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) are N-glycosylases found in various plants that are able to specifically and irreversibly inhibit protein translation, thereby leading to cell death. Their cytotoxic properties have attracted attention in the medical field in the context of developing new anticancer therapies. Quinoin is a novel toxic enzyme obtained from quinoa seeds and classified as a type 1 RIP (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.). Recently, quinoin was found to be cytotoxic to normal fibroblasts and keratinocytes in vitro, as well as to several tumor cell lines. Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity of quinoin in a zebrafish model. We evaluated its ability to induce DNA fragmentation, genomic instability, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by means of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) reaction, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique, and dichlorofluorescine (DCF) assay, respectively. Results: Quinoin was found to cause genomic damage in zebrafish, as shown by DNA fragmentation, polymorphic variations leading to genomic instability, and oxidative stress. Interestingly, longer quinoin treatment caused less damage than shorter treatments. Conclusions: This study demonstrated ROS-mediated genotoxicity of quinoin toward the zebrafish genome. The reduced damage observed after longer quinoin treatment could indicate the activation of detoxification mechanisms, activation of repair mechanisms, or the loss of protein activity due to enzymatic digestion. In order to clarify the genotoxic actions of quinoin, further investigations of the response pathways to DNA damage are needed. Overall, the ability of quinoin to cause breaks and instability in DNA, together with its clear cytotoxicity, make it an interesting candidate for the development of new drugs for cancer treatment.
Level of Stress, Coping Strategies and Academic Achievement of College Students during HyFlex Learning
Authors: Caingcoy Manuel
Published: February 2024

Effective stress management strategies correlate with improved academic performance in college students, yet inconsistent findings in existing research warrant further investigation. This study explored the intricate interplay between stress levels, coping mechanisms, and academic achievement in HyFlex learning. A stratified random sample of 111 students from five specializations within the Bachelor of Secondary Education program participated. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational design, data were collected through validated self-report questionnaires and a weighted general average. Subsequent descriptive statistics and bivariate correlation analysis revealed moderate stress levels among participants who preferred task-oriented coping strategies. Interestingly, a significant positive association was observed between stress levels and academic achievement and emotion-oriented coping, while a negative correlation emerged between stress and task-oriented coping. Avoidance-oriented coping, conversely, displayed a significant negative association with academic success. These findings underscore the crucial role of educational institutions in providing robust support mechanisms for stress management and cultivating a task-focused learning environment to optimize student well-being and academic performance within the HyFlex model.

The Ties that Bind: Low Morals, High Deception, and Dark Creativity
Authors: Kapoor Hansika , Mahadeshwar Hreem , Rezaei Sarah , Reiter-Palmon Roni , Kaufman James C.
Published: February 2024

Self-reported dark creativity has been related to lower concerns for all moral foundations, especially among those with dark personality traits. The present study aimed to extend these findings using real-world divergent thinking tasks with ethical and unethical instructions. Data (N = 1346, males = 388, females = 840, Mage = 20.93, SD = 5.48) were collected on creative performance, moral foundations, and dark personality traits, including trait deceptiveness. Divergent thinking responses were coded for fluency, flexibility, creativity, goal-directedness, deception, moral valence, and a virtue caveat (where participants explicitly denied to give unethical responses). Results indicated that for both ethical and unethical tasks, lower binding foundations (loyalty, authority, purity) were associated with higher creative performance, whereas higher concerns for moral foundations were related to more noble and positive responses and lower deception used in responses. Among dark personality traits, only trait deceptiveness was a significant mediator between low binding foundations and high creativity. Contrary to our predictions, none of the Dark Tetrad traits were significant mediators. These findings reinforce the salience of deception in the process and outcomes related to dark creativity; implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
The Empirical Distinction of Honesty-Humility and Big Five-Agreeableness: Initial Evidence from German Samples
Authors: Blötner Christian
Published: February 2024

Since the advent of the HEXACO model, personality psychologists examined the distinctiveness of its honesty-humility factor from the already known agreeableness factor from the Big Five model. It has been argued that honesty-humility was redundant with Big Five-based agreeableness. However, an extensive evaluation of the separability of agreeableness and honesty-humility at a large-scale level is still pending. Using four German samples, consisting of students and individuals from the general population alike (ntotal = 3,976), honesty-humility turned out to be best understood as correlated with yet distinguishable from Big Five- and HEXACO-agreeableness in terms of factor structure and relations with focal criteria. Furthermore, honesty-humility and agreeableness scores augmented each other in accounting for variance in several criteria. These findings favor the theoretical and empirical separation between honesty-humility and agreeableness, irrespective of the underlying conceptualization of agreeableness. Cross-cultural replications and behaviorally oriented paradigms should confirm the present findings.

Published: February 2024

New parenthood in ordinary times can be a sensitive and unpredictable time. The Covid-19 pandemic brought additional, unprecedented changes to policy and practice that drastically impacted on the experiences of parents. This study aimed to generate data to enhance understanding of the experiences of new parents during the pandemic by qualitatively analysing their experiences. New parents from the UK (N = 303; female = 297; male = 7) responded to a survey asking about experiences of pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period and their experiences of digital technology during this time. Responses were analysed thematically by drawing across the three time periods. Parents reported conflicting feelings, negative feelings and silver linings cutting across eight themes that we developed, including: impacts on well-being, feeling without a village, changes to healthcare, atypical social experiences as a new parent, differential impacts on financial and working lives, conflicting feelings around digital technology, anger and worry regarding contradictory government guidance and recommendations for other parents. The findings offer much needed insights into the experiences of new parents during this time and provide some context to elevated levels of perinatal mental health difficulties in new parents during the pandemic. We suggest key recommendations going forwards in the care of new parents both now, and in times of future national crisis.
The Morality of Too Much Money
Authors: Trager Jackson , Atari Mohammad
Published: February 2024

Why do some people morally justify excessive wealth in a world where so many struggle? In some cultures, people find excessive wealth immoral, while others are structured so that having too much money is morally neutral or even praised. Here, we examine how people’s moral values and national inequality predict the moralization of excessive wealth around the globe. Using demographically stratified samples from 20 nations (N = 4,351), we find notable variability in the moralization of excessive wealth such that more equal societies (e.g., Belgium, Switzerland) consider having too much money more wrong.
Motor inhibition prevents motor execution during typing imagery: evidence from an action‐mode switching paradigm
Authors: Nalborczyk Ladislas , Alario Francois Xavier , Longcamp Marieke
Published: February 2024

Motor imagery is accompanied by a subjective multisensory experience. This sensory experience is thought to result from the deployment of internal models developed for the execution and monitoring of overt actions. If so, how is it that motor imagery does not lead to overt execution? It has been proposed that inhibitory mechanisms may prevent execution during imagined actions such as imagined typing. To test this hypothesis, we combined an experimental with a modelling approach. We conducted an experiment in which participants (N = 49) were asked to alternate between overt (executed) and covert (imagined) typing. We predicted that motor inhibition should lead to longer reaction and movement times when the current trial is preceded by an imagined vs. an executed trial. This prediction was borne out by movement times, but not by reaction times. We introduced and fitted an algorithmic model of motor imagery to disentangle potentially distinct inhibitory mechanisms underlying these effects. Results from this analysis suggest that motor inhibition may affect different aspects of the latent activation function (e.g., the shape of the activation function or the motor execution threshold) with distinct consequences on reaction times and movement times. Overall, these results suggest that typing imagery involves the inhibition of motor commands related to typing acts.

Semantic Relatedness and the Efficacy of Retrieval Practice
Authors: Gupta Mohan , Pan Steven C. , Rickard Timothy Charles
Published: February 2024

There is growing interest in the role that semantic memory plays in the retrieval practice (or testing) effect. We investigated how semantic relatedness impacts the efficacy of testing, relative to a restudy control, using a cued-recall paradigm with immediate correct answer feedback. High and low relatedness word pairs were created by selecting two different response words for each cue word based on associative norms. The parameter-free predictions of the dual-memory model of test-enhanced learning for low relatedness pairs were used as an empirically well-supported scaling benchmark for evaluating the effectiveness of testing for high relatedness pairs, allowing us to overcome the issue of removable interactions. Results showed a robust testing effect at both relatedness levels. For the high relatedness group, however, the testing effect was about 26% smaller than expected by the model. Nevertheless, the predicted quadratic relation between test and restudy proportion correct in the cumulative distribution held for both groups. One candidate account of those results within the dual-memory framework is that, for the high relatedness case, study and test memory strengths for tested items are positively correlated rather than independent. A simulation implementing that version of the model provided a good distribution fit for the high relatedness group. Other theoretical accounts of the semantic relatedness effect are considered.
Morality and Normative Cognition: Categories of Norms in Moral Psychology and Across Culture
Authors: Bagiński Mateusz
Published: February 2024

Although the concept of morality is central to moral psychology, it is understood differently by different researchers, as evidenced by decades of unsuccessful search for its definition or other specification, as well as diversity of conceptions used throughout moral psychology literature. I overview the most popular ways of conceptualizing morality and argue that it is most appropriate to view it as a subset of normativity with fuzzy boundaries. Norms, beliefs, and attitudes, that subjects themselves label as moral, are characterized by a cluster of co-occurring properties. The degree to which this finding generalizes to non-Western cultures is uncertain, and probably not all cultures distinguish a special category of moral norms. However, morality may be a particular case of a more general phenomenon of a culture developing a category of norms it considers of special importance.
Rethinking Memory Impairments: Retrieval Failure
Authors: Alfei Palloni Joaquin Matias , Miller Ralph R. , Ryan Tomás , Urcelay Gonzalo Pablo
Published: February 2024

A canonical view in the neuroscience of learning and memory literature is that failures in memory expression reflect storage failures, and hence amnesic manipulations following training or following memory reactivation can permanently erase memory traces. In this review, we analyse extant literatures from the learning and memory domains suggesting that most if not all of these memory deficits can be restored with the appropriate retrieval cues. We contend that all experience-dependent manipulations conducted immediately after training or following memory reactivation result in new learning, which interferes with the original learning and hence makes information highly dependent on retrieval cues for memory expression. Thus, although acquisition and storage mechanisms are surely important, memory retrieval is a critical component of memory performance, with numerous findings from behavioural and neurobiological studies all converging on this general stance. These conclusions invite a rethinking of the learning and memory literatures and provide new avenues for research.

Published: February 2024

"Do what you love" has become a hegemonic mantra in large swaths of the labour force, and the expectation for workers to be passionate about their work is intense within the technology sector. When we interviewed eight undergraduates at a large Canadian university about what makes someone a "good computer scientist," participants stressed the importance of passion. Passion was described as a form of capital: to be accumulated and traded for advancement in the labour market. We examine how passion works as a hegemonic norm within this culture, and untangle passion as requiring two distinct processes: conspicuous production (via extracurriculars and internships), and affective passion (via performing interest and enthusiasm for the subject). We explore the relationships and feedback loops amongst conspicuous production, affective passion, and other forms of Bourdieusian capital. In doing so, we uncover the mechanics of the power structures which underlie post-feminist and meritocratic narratives of self-motivated passion.
The relief–reform divide: An analysis of national responses to Covid-19 in seven EU member states' recovery plans
Authors: Caramani Daniele , Cicchi Lorenzo
Published: February 2024

This research paper explores the “recovery divide” in the distribution of funds from Next Generation EU’s the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The RRF, the central and largest component of the EU’s response to the Covid-19 economic crisis, represents a policy shift by providing aid to all member states with less strict conditionality than previous crises such as the 2008 Great Recession. The paper provides a descriptive overview of the RRF and investigates how the seven largest recipients (France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Romania, and Spain) prioritize spending the funds. It hypothesizes that ideological orientation and executive type influence whether the extent to which focus on technocratic long-term reforms or politically rewarding short-term relief. A qualitative text analysis of the first national recovery and resilience plans (NRRPs) submitted to the European Commission in 2021 is employed to explore this “relief–reform” dimension, combined with official data from the European Commission and other data sources (Bruegel). Results show that substantial country differences exist, especially in the sectors where the NRRPs pledge intervention. However, EU conditionality still exerts a strong influence, as all NRRPs are consistently reform-oriented and their (minimal) differences are not significantly accounted for by the ideological placement of the executive submitting it.

The main goal of citriculture in Uruguay is to increase yield, quality, and improve sustainability and efficiency of natural resources. Today, it is not possible to conceive an efficient citrus production system without the use of irrigation technologies. The aim of this work was to evaluate the irrigation water efficiency and growth conditions of different plantation systems focused on speeding up production and the improvement of water use efficiency. An experiment was installed in Nadorcott mandarin with two planting densities (909 and 1220 pl. ha-1), and three plantation designs: ridges covered with white plastic cloth; uncovered ridges, and flat planting at ground level. At the end of the evaluation period, the volume of the trees planted in the covered ridges doubled those in the flat (1 m3). The trees on the flat design consistently produced fewer fruits and lower yield than those on ridges. Covered ridge showed the best performance. Soil water content remained higher and soil temperature lower in covered ridges. Overall, trees planted on ridges with or without plastic mulch allowed a better water use efficiency, and the lower soil temperature promoted a better environment for tree growth.
Sodium accumulation vs. nitrate leaching under different fertigation regimes in greenhouse soils in South Uruguay

In greenhouse conditions, soil salinity and N leaching depend on the provision of irrigation, the irrigation water quality and the application of fertilizers and organic amendments. The objective of this study was to quantify and analyze the accumulation and/or leaching process of NO3- and Na+ in greenhouse tomato production in the south region of Uruguay in fine-textured soil under different fertigation regimes. The study was conducted in four tomato crops during 2019/20/21 seasons. Three fertigation regimes were applied. Irrigation volume was the same for all treatments. Drainage was determined by using free drainage lysimeters. Concentration in soil solution and leaching of NO3- and Na+ was measured by monitoring soil solution and drainage solution. Yield, N uptake and N utilization efficiency were determined for each treatment. Soil total drainage was the main factor explaining N and Na+ leaching. The leaching of N ranges from 0 to 23.4 kg N ha-1 per tomato crop with total drainage between 0 and 46.2 % of total irrigation. Drainage necessary to avoid Na+ accumulation was 13 % of total irrigation. This drainage produced 8.4 kg of N leaching per ha-1 during tomato cropping period. Optimizing irrigation is the key factor to the salinity-nitrogen leaching paradox. Irrigation amount and timing should attempt: (1) to avoid excessive irrigation when NO3- concentration in soil solution is high, and (2) to apply leaching irrigation when Na+ concentration in soil solution is high. Soil solution monitoring with suction probes and rapid chemical analysis systems could be a useful tool to identify periods of high risk of N leaching and the right time for leaching irrigation.
New challenges for Uruguayan viticulture

Published: February 2024

Climate scenarios in the medium and long term (2010-2070) foresee increased summer rainfall for Uruguay and the region, with increased water deficits and excess episodes. Although at the international level irrigation in viticulture has a long experience and tradition, at the local level (Uruguay), only 10% of the vineyard surface area implements a fixed or complementary system for water supply in their crops. This work aimed to model the crop water requirements for a vineyard in southern Uruguay based on pedo-climatic variables. In addition, the plant response to controlled deficit irrigation was evaluated in two consecutive seasons. The experiment was conducted in a 1.1 ha commercial vineyard in Canelones, Uruguay (34°36'S, 56°14W), during two successive seasons (2020-2021). The additional irrigation (I) treatment was compared against a control (C) without irrigation. A controlled water deficit was established from flowering to harvest. The adjustment in the demand was made as a function of a percentage of crop evapotranspiration. The Kc of the crop was estimated using digital tools. The simulation of the water balance made it possible to evaluate the vineyard water needs. Plants subjected to controlled deficit irrigation showed higher vegetative growth, positively impacting yield and the accumulation of sugars and anthocyanins in the berry. Based on our results, a supplementary water supply, at the right doses and time, allows us to face water deficit situations, positively impacting the productive and economic variables. Knowing the variability in a vineyard is necessary to achieve proper irrigation scheduling and optimize water use. New technologies applied to irrigation are an opportunity for winegrowers to obtain more sustainable vineyards and production.

This work evaluates the cotton response to irrigation scheduling using AquaCrop, in the Río Dulce Irrigation System (SRRD), Santiago del Estero, Argentina. The model was calibrated and validated to simulate the cotton´s growth and yield for the SRRD, where most of the cotton is grown in a cropping system called narrow rows (0.52 to 0.76 meter between rows, 200,000 to 220,000 plants per hectare). The model adaptation to different cultivars and agronomical practices was noteworthy. Then, the impact of three different irrigation schedules on cotton production was assessed using a series of 35 years of daily climatic data. The irrigation scenarios were defined based on the farmers’ practices and on the rotational water delivery of the SRRD. The highest yields were attained when irrigation was applied at 25 and 55 days after sowing (DAS), followed by 55 DAS, and, finally, 55 and 85 DAS. Considering both the yields and the water use, irrigating at 25 and 55 DAS would be the best option for a normal season in the SRRD. This work shows the usefulness of combining the use of crop simulation models, field measurements and long-term weather data to analyze yield trends and irrigation water use under different scenarios.
