Authors: Kumari Meena , Vaidya Devika , Sharma Seema
Published: September 2024

The present investigation was carried out in Himachal Pradesh, India. Nine different species of ladybird beetles were found feeding on the green apple aphid Aphis pomi De Geer in an apple orchard and apple nursery plants in Himachal Pradesh. These species belong to the order Coleoptera and family Coccinellidae. Coelophora saucia (Mulsant) is a formidable predator of Aphis pomi De Geer in Himachal Pradesh, India. This study investigated the life cycle of Coelophora saucia (a mussel). Both the larval and adult stages of this predator vigorously consumed green apple aphids. Therefore, studying the biology and feeding capacity of Coelophora saucia (a mussel) on green apple aphids from the perspective of biological control in apple-growing regions of Himachal Pradesh is useful.

Published: September 2024

The effect of mulching and nutrition on the growth and yield of sweet basil was examined by experimenting with four mulch treatments, viz., without mulch, black plastic, silver plastic, and organic mulch combined with four different nutrient compositions, viz., a 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), a combination of 75% RDF with humic acid, 75% RDF with microbial consortia and 75% RDF, and humic acid and microbial consortia, which served as sixteen treatment combinations with 100% RDF without mulch as a control. Among the different treatments, mulch had a significant effect on growth and yield parameters, with black plastic mulch having the maximum plant height (88.20 cm), number of branches (14.95), plant spread (5415 cm2), stem diameter (12.64 mm), fresh herbage yield (24.55 t/ha) and dry herbage yield (8.72 t/ha). Thus, the study revealed that among the various mulch treatments, black plastic mulch significantly enhanced the growth and yield parameters of sweet basil, demonstrating its efficacy in promoting optimal plant development and productivity.

Authors: H.S Praveen Joshi , A.T Ramachandra Naik
Published: September 2024

The current study was to examine the significance of primary productivity and phytoplankton density in semi-intensive and intensive shrimp (L. Vannamei) ponds located at Haleyangadi, Mangaluru (Taluk), Dakshina Kannada (District), Karnataka. Primary production metrics were examined biweekly throughout a span of 90 days, starting from the time of stocking to harvest (November 2021 to February 2022). A total of 8 species from 3 classes were found in semi-intensive ponds, whereas 12 species from 4 classes were identified in intensive shrimp ponds during the course of the study. The gross primary production in intensive shrimp ponds varied from 239.583 to 302.083 mg C/m3/hr. The gross primary production in semi-intensive ponds varied from 192.708 to 348.950 mg C/m3/hr. During the research period, it was noted that net productivity was quite low, suggesting that a significant proportion of the organic matter produced by photosynthesis was utilized for respiration.

Authors: Kulkarni Rajlaxmi Ranrag
Published: September 2024

Lakes and their basins are major repositories of biodiversity. Monitoring the basin and their respective water bodies requires an assessment of avifaunal diversity, as birds are a health indicator of the ecosystem. The present investigation focused on the avifauna diversity of Moharli Lake and its environs. Moharli Lake is located a short distance from the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) in the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra. Serving as one of the primary entrances to TATR, the Moharli gate overlooks this perennial freshwater lake. Abundant in nutrients, the lake supports a diverse avian population, including migratory bird species. The lake and its environs were surveyed nightly throughout the study duration, spanning from June 2014 to April 2015. The birds were classified into five distinct groups based on their habitat. A total of 81 species, representing 67 genera across 31 families within 13 orders, were documented and classified according to their status and occurrence, including migratory species. The presence of birds was meticulously documented alongside their dietary inclinations and feeding behaviors. The diverse bird community within the study area indicates a conducive habitat for both breeding and sustenance. A comprehensive analysis of avifaunal diversity in this region will aid in formulating conservation strategies for the future.

Published: September 2024

The present work aimed to evaluate the effects of municipal solid waste (MSW) dumping on the quality of soil and groundwater at six specific sites (S1-S6) located in the Haridwar district of Uttarakhand, India. An analysis of selected physicochemical and heavy metal characteristics (Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Cd, and Cr) was conducted on groundwater and soil samples collected between July 2022 and June 2023 using standard techniques. Furthermore, the composition of municipal solid waste (MSW) was also analysed, revealing a significant proportion of biodegradable waste in comparison to non-biodegradable wastes. The areas affected by urban and industrial activity showed markedly higher concentrations of physicochemical and heavy metal parameters in both soil and groundwater samples (p < 0.05). An study of groundwater revealed concentrations from BDL to 0.170 ± 0.008 mg/L (S6) , 0.034 ± 0.004 mg/L (S4) to 1.565 ± 0.048 mg/L (S6), 1.786 ± 0.089 mg/L (S4) to 10.630 ± 0.279 mg/L (S6), 0.096 ± 0.006 mg/L (S4) to 0.321 ± 0.005 mg/L (S6), and 0.110 ± 0.005 mg/L (S6) for Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cd mg/kg , respectively. Cr was detected at the BDL level in all groundwater samples from all sites. Findings revealed that metals exceeded the BIS range, with Iron over the limit at all sites, Manganese at S1, S2, and S6 sites, and Cadmium at S1, S2, S3, and S6 sites. The examination of the soil samples revealed concentrations ranging from 0.399 ± 0.125 mg/kg (S5) to 2.806 ± 0.083 mg/kg (S6), 1.207 ± 0.044 mg/kg (S5) to 3.813 ± 0.238 mg/kg (S2), 24.972 ± 1.128 mg/kg (S5) to 47.417 ± 1.713 mg/kg (S3), 2.297 ± 0.43 mg/kg (S5) to 14.641 ± 0.229 mg/kg (S2), and BDL (S4, S5, and S6) to 0.194 ± 0.291 mg/kg (S2) for their respective elements. The Cr content was BDL in all soil samples from all sites. Several metals over the BIS range were detected, including Cu at site S6, Zn at sites S1, S2, S3, S4, and S6, Fe at all sites and Mn at site S2. In S1-S6, the total bacterial population in the soil ranged from 397 ± 67 CFU   to 459±88 CFU, with values of 442 ± 86 CFU, 404 ± 78 CFU, 459 ± 88 CFU, 397 ± 67 CFU, 405 ± 67 CFU, and 451 ± 77 CFU, respectively. The findings revealed soil and groundwater pollution caused by the elevated levels of heavy metals in the groundwater, rendering the water unfit for drinking. The study underscores the need of adopting effective waste management strategies to reduce the adverse effects of solid waste disposal sites. The results can guide the formulation of development policies and laws aimed at enabling the implementation of suitable solid waste management techniques.
Present status and future prospects of fisheries of Tehri dam reservoir
Authors: Bisht Jyoti , Uniyal Tripti , Agarwal Naresh K
Published: September 2024

Fisheries in India are a burgeoning industry with immense potential and opportunities. Ironically, because of its enormous but untapped potential, reservoir fisheries are called as "a sleeping giant".  The average productivity from these reservoirs in India is about 30 kg/ha compared to the production potential of 250 kg/ha. Inadequate management leads to low rate of fish production in Indian reservoirs. A major impediment to science-based fish productivity in reservoirs is the lack of authentic data on target stocks. Inland fisheries, like those in reservoirs, are particularly affected. Investigators generally rely on simple catch statistics and hypothesis statements to assess fish production and potential yields due to inadequate resources, population data, and experts in the area. The present paper emphasizes the quintessential 44sq km huge Tehri hydro-power dam reservoir, located in the Bhagirathi and Bhilangana valleys of the lesser Himalayas in the Garhwal hills. On average the fish productivity from Tehri reservoir in the year 2021-2022 is reported as 13.75 kg/ha but, this is significantly lower than its actual productivity. Thus, the current technical paper addresses this issue by condensing and synthesizing the current status of fisheries in the Tehri Dam reservoir with past status in terms of fish species diversity. It provides baseline information on fish production and various data shortfalls in fisheries activity management. The paper also describes the ecological and economic aspects that affect fish catch to utilize the reservoir      resources and mired the cold-water fishery management in the Tehri reservoir.
A comprehensive review on hyphenated techniques

Published: September 2024

The hyphenated technique refers to the combination (or) fusion of distinct analytical methodologies. Spectroscopic techniques are mostly paired with chromatographic techniques. After that, an interphase will allow the mixture's separated components from the chromatographic approach to enter the spectroscopic technique. In GC-MS The separated components from the gas chromatography process are introduced into the mass spectrometer, where they undergo ionization, mass analysis, and measurement of the mass-to-charge ratios of the ions produced by each analysis. GC and MS can be connected by a membrane separator, jet/orifice separator, or effusion separator. The analytical flow cell in LC-NMR coupling was originally designed for continuous flow to NMR. However, the application in the stopped-flow mode in LC-MS has resulted from the requirement for a thorough structural study of novel natural compounds. The use of LC-MS-MS is growing daily at a rapid rate. When used with biological screening, hyphenated techniques like mass spectrometry (LC-UV-MS) and HPLC coupled to UV have proven to be very helpful for a quick analysis of natural products. Currently, a wide range of LC-MS systems with diverse interface options are offered for sale. Hyphenated procedures are methods of separation and identification that demonstrate improved sample analysis through the use of specificity, accuracy, and precision as constituents.
Collaboration Between Educational Institutions and the Practical Field in Teacher Education-Epistemological Perspectives in a Project Aiming to Enhance Relevance in Vocational Teacher Education Through the Development of Teacher Education Schools
Authors: Hiim Hilde , Sylte Ann Lisa
Published: September 2024

According to Norwegian and international research, many teacher education students find that their education is not sufficiently relevant for practising the teaching profession. In Norway, this has led to a political initiative, Teacher Education 2025, which focuses on developing special partnerships between teacher education institutions and schools, referred to as teacher education schools. The purpose of the partnerships is to strengthen quality and relevance so that teachers develop high-level professional competence. This article presents a project on the development of teacher education schools in vocational teacher education, where a crucial aspect is to analyse epistemological perspectives on teachers' development of professional competence and the collaboration between educational institutions and the practice field. The analysis suggests that challenges regarding relevance in teacher education are related to a one-sided rationalistic understanding of knowledge that influences the organisation and content of educational institutions, creating a division between practical and theoretical learning arenas and between professional work, learning and research. The analysis shows how pragmatic and critical perspectives can provide a more holistic understanding of teachers' professional competence and of teacher education. The article demonstrates how pragmatic and critical epistemological guiding principles and measures to develop teacher education schools can contribute to strengthening the connection between the content of the profession and the content of education. Key principles concern continuous, democratic collaboration between educational institutions and the practice field, where teacher education, school development and research are systematically rooted in professional teaching experience. The main conclusion is that strengthened professional relevance requires a holistic understanding of teacher competence and teacher education, which means that professional practice, learning, development of the school as a learning organisation, and research are integrated.
Efficient Railway Gauge Conversion with Tunnel reconstruction

Published: September 2024

The modernization of railway networks constructed during the colonial era requires the conversion of railway gauges from the metric to the standard gauge, as well as the expansion from single-track operation to a dual-track operation in order to accommodate railway infrastructures with the traffic growth. Existing critical infrastructures such as bridges and tunnels in the existing network will also require appropriate reconstruction measures since minimum clearance requirements associated with the standard gauge are subjected to new rolling stock and maintenance facilities. The present work presents an optimal procedure to solve efficiently the problem of a tunnel reconstruction during track conversion while maintaining trains circulation during the transition period from metric to standard gauge with less traffic interruption. From a multi-criteria comparison scheme we examine different options ranging from enlarging the existing tunnel to constructing an adjacent new standard gauge dual-track tunnel with the construction of an adjacent standard gauge single-track tunnel as a neutral choice. Results show that enlarging the existing tunnel under a sustained traffic, is both technically feasible and economically viable.

Authors: Kang Kyungwoo
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between FHP and how it may affect muscle activity during raising the arm and loss of body balance, 40 young people participated. All subjects will have their cranio-vertebral angle (CVA) and muscle activity of the serratus anterior (SA), upper trapezius (UT), and lower trapezius (LT), static balance index, and central pressure excursion index (CPEI) measured. Muscle activity was measured using TeleMyo 2400(Noraxon U.S.A., Inc., Scottsdale, AZ, USA), and static balance indicators and CPEI were measured using the MatscanVersaTek system (Tekscan Inc., MA). Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between variables. CVA and SA, UT, and LT all showed significant correlation, positive correlation with SA(r=0.429/p=0.006) and LT(r=0.377/p=0.017), and negative correlation with UT(r=-0.473/p=0.007) (Table 2). CVA showed a moderate level of negative correlation with AREA(r=0.-0.420 /p=0.007) and L-R distance(r=-0.508 /p=0.000) among balance indicators, and did not show a significant correlation with CPEI (Table 3). In people with more severe FHP, SA, and LT muscle activity tended to be lower, UT muscle activity tended to be higher, and static balance ability was lower. According to the results of this study, FHP can have a negative effect on various factors of the body, such as arm movement and static balance, suggesting that establishing correct posture is necessary to prevent secondary physical problems.
"Biological warfare" as a new international problem of Russian politicians and military
Authors: Bobylov Yuriy
Published: September 2024

The globalization of the global market economy and the unregulated global population of 8 billion people create threats of global warming of the Earth with its transformation into a hot lifeless Venus. The aggravation of the global situation for the survival of countries and peoples and major military conflicts are ahead. New "green technologies" do not allow us to abandon the increasing combustion of hydrocarbons. At the same time, a secret creation of a new biological weapon of mass destruction is underway. Defense and biomedical problems in Russia are largely recognized at the level of society, the state, the military and special services.
The main stages of creation and sabotage use of biological weapons are studied. The specifics of new bioterrorism technologies are analyzed. Preventive defense measures for Russia in the current conditions are substantiated. The analysis showed that the scale of financing of R&D in the field of biology, medicine, genetics in Russia since 2000 does not meet the required structural reorganization of Russian industry and new rapidly developing areas of science, engineering and technology in the world. The main results of the study, which have theoretical and practical significance, include conclusions about a significant increase in the risks of potential aggressors using biological weapons against the enemy in the context of rapid scientific and technological progress in the world, especially in biology, genetics, medicine. A conclusion is made about the need for additions and amendments to the current international and national laws in order to prevent new military-biological initiatives and projects. The necessity of forming a new military-political point of view in Russia is substantiated, that what is brewing is not just wars for the redistribution of natural resources, but genocidal wars for the survival of the strongest countries and peoples, to which our state currently belongs.
Threats to Russia from bioterrorism and sabotage biological wars are surmountable, but require a mobilization economy, significant funds and resources.

Authors: Alonso Neto Vitor Domingues , Piccinin Carolina Izzo
Published: September 2024

Introdução: As náuseas e vômitos pós-operatórios (NVPO) são complicações frequentes após intervenções cirúrgicas, afetando o conforto e a recuperação dos pacientes. Com prevalência entre 30% e 50%, esses sintomas são particularmente relevantes em procedimentos oftalmológicos, como a correção do estrabismo, devido à delicadeza da manipulação ocular.
Objetivo: Este estudo tem como finalidade realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre a eficácia de intervenções para a prevenção de NVPO em pacientes submetidos a cirurgias de estrabismo, visando identificar as abordagens mais eficazes e seguras para otimizar os cuidados anestésicos.
Método: A revisão foi realizada com base em artigos publicados nos últimos dez anos, extraídos da base de dados PUBMED. A estratégia de busca utilizada foi a seguinte: postoperative[title] AND nausea[title] AND vomiting[title] AND strabismus[title]. A questão que orientou a pesquisa foi: “quais intervenções são eficazes na prevenção e manejo de NVPO em cirurgias de estrabismo, especialmente em populações pediátricas?” O processo seguiu seis etapas: formulação da pergunta, identificação dos estudos, coleta de dados, análise crítica, discussão dos achados e elaboração do resumo. Resultados: A busca resultou na seleção de 10 artigos, dos quais 9 atenderam aos critérios estabelecidos.
Conclusão: As intervenções analisadas, especialmente as combinações de antieméticos e administração de fluidos, mostraram-se eficazes na redução da incidência de NVPO. Destaca-se a importância de um enfoque baseado em evidências para melhorar a recuperação pós-operatória em crianças, além da necessidade de mais pesquisas rigorosas para aprimorar protocolos clínicos.
Ökologische Optimierung von Tragwerken im Infrastrukturbau am Beispiel von Brücken und Portalkonstruktionen/Ecological optimization of supporting structures in infrastructure construction using the example of bridges and portal constructions
Authors: Zitterl Thomas , Bauer Peter
Published: September 2024

Im vorliegenden Artikel wird anhand zwei beispielhafter Bauwerksarten, einer Brücke und eines Überkopfwegweisers, der Prozess der ökologischen Bewertung und Optimierung von Tragwerken im Infrastrukturbau dargestellt und mögliche Hürden thematisiert. Die Bauwerke werden in verschiedenen Materialisierungsformen und Ausführungsvarianten bezüglich ihrer ökologischen Performance mittels Lebenszyklusanalyse untersucht und Optimierungspotential aufgezeigt. Es zeigt sich, dass je nach Datengrundlage und Eingabeparameter die Ergebnisse ein und desselben Bauwerks stark variieren können, daher sollten derartige Werkzeuge mit großer Sorgfalt angewendet werden. Die Ergebnisse lassen darauf schließen, dass nicht die übergeordnete Materialwahl per se entscheidend ist, sondern einerseits der den Baustoffen zugrunde liegende Herstellungsprozess und andererseits die Entwicklung effizienter, langlebiger Tragsysteme. Erkennbar ist auch, dass ein reiner Fokus auf Optimierung des Überbaus nicht zielführend ist, da die Bauteile Unterbau und Ausrüstung für ~ 75 % der Emissionen des Bauwerks verantwortlich sind. Eine Optimierung scheint daher nur unter Einbeziehung dieser Bauteile sinnvoll.

Authors: Dewiana Dewiana , Baskara Ika , Hafidz Gilang Pratama
Published: September 2024

This study aims to examine the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on employee task-related behavior and performance at PT. Admiral Lines. The background of this study is the instability of employee performance, so a study was conducted to determine the dominant motivational factors that influence employee task-related behavior and performance. The population of this study were employees of PT. Admiral Lines, with samples taken using purposive sampling techniques totaling at least 85 respondents. This study used a quantitative method with the Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Square (PLS-SEM) approach. The results of the study showed that intrinsic motivation has a positive influence on task-related behavior, but does not have a positive effect on employee performance. Conversely, extrinsic motivation has been shown to have a positive influence on employee task-related behavior and performance. In addition, task-related behavior also plays a significant mediation role in the relationship between motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) and employee performance. These findings indicate that in order to improve employee performance, companies need to pay attention to motivational factors, especially extrinsic motivation, such as financial rewards and incentives, which have proven effective in influencing employee performance. After conducting the study, the researcher suggested expanding the population to the branches of PT. Admiral Lines which are located in other regions in Indonesia, in order to represent more answers from PT. Admiral Lines employees throughout Indonesia. In addition That way, you can add other supporting variables to measure employee performance such as job satisfaction and employee engagement or other relevant variables as research innovations.

Este artículo presenta un análisis comparativo entre la metodología STEM (Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas) y otras metodologías activas aplicadas en la Educación General Básica (EGB). El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la eficacia de la metodología STEM en compara-ción con otras metodologías activas, como el aprendizaje basado en proyectos (ABP), el apren-dizaje cooperativo y el aprendizaje basado en problemas (ABP), en el desarrollo de competen-cias cognitivas, sociales y emocionales en estudiantes de EGB. A medida que las demandas edu-cativas evolucionan, es crucial identificar y comprender qué metodologías de enseñanza son más efectivas para preparar a los estudiantes para los retos del siglo XXI, especialmente en áreas que requieren habilidades de pensamiento crítico, creatividad y resolución de problemas. El es-tudio se llevó a cabo en una muestra de 120 estudiantes de EGB, divididos en cuatro grupos, cada uno expuesto a una metodología diferente: STEM, ABP, aprendizaje cooperativo y ABP. Durante un período de 12 semanas, se aplicaron diversas actividades y evaluaciones diseñadas para medir el impacto de cada metodología en el desarrollo de competencias en ciencias, mate-máticas y habilidades sociales. Los datos se recopilaron a través de evaluaciones pre y post in-tervención, encuestas de motivación y observaciones en el aula. Los resultados indicaron que la metodología STEM tuvo un impacto positivo significativo en el desarrollo de competencias en ciencias y matemáticas. Los estudiantes que participaron en el grupo STEM mostraron mejoras notables en el pensamiento crítico, la resolución de problemas y la comprensión conceptual, en comparación con los otros grupos. Sin embargo, las metodologías activas como el ABP y el aprendizaje cooperativo también demostraron ser eficaces, particularmente en el fomento de habilidades sociales, como la cooperación, la comunicación y el trabajo en equipo. Este estudio concluye que, aunque la metodología STEM es altamente efectiva para mejorar las competencias científicas y matemáticas, la combinación de STEM con otras metodologías activas puede pro-porcionar un enfoque más integral. Al integrar STEM con metodologías como el ABP y el aprendizaje cooperativo, se pueden abordar de manera más equilibrada las competencias cogni-tivas, sociales y emocionales. Este enfoque combinado puede ofrecer a los estudiantes una ex-periencia educativa más completa y preparales mejor para los desafíos del mundo moderno.

Published: September 2024

El universo usa un patrón base para todo lo que existe, es el que requiere la menor energía, el modelo más sencillo,  elegante y geométrico, que opera en cualquier dimensión,  escala o partícula, este patrón básico con pocos componentes y debido a todas sus interacciones genera todas las complejidades del universo que conocemos. Este documento plantea el modelo de campo orbital como la base geométrica para la creación y organización de todas las partículas hadrónicas. Esta estructura analizada desde su geometría y su evolución, ubica todas las partículas subatómicas hadrónicas del modelo estándar primero las generadas por las combinaciones de los quarks (u, d, s) y posteriormente extendiéndose a las generadas por los quarks (c, b, t) ubicando en su lugar todos los Mesones, las resonancias mesónicas, los bariones y las resonancias bariónicas conocidas.

El estudio "Impacto de los Costos Fijos en la Sostenibilidad y Crecimiento de las Microempresas en Guayaquil" examina cómo los costos recurrentes, tales como alquileres, salarios, servicios públicos y seguros, afectan la viabilidad y el desarrollo de las microempresas en esta ciudad. Internacionalmente, una gestión eficaz de los costos fijos es crucial para mantener la competitividad. En Ecuador, y específicamente en Guayaquil, la volatilidad económica y las limitaciones financieras agravan este desafío. Las microempresas locales enfrentan altos costos operativos que amenazan su sostenibilidad y crecimiento. El estudio revela que la mayoría de las microempresas tienen más de 6 años de operación, pero enfrentan dificultades significativas debido a los elevados costos fijos. La rentabilidad y la capacidad de expansión están estrechamente vinculadas a la gestión de estos costos. Se identifica una necesidad crítica de acceso a financiamiento y capacitación en gestión financiera para mejorar la viabilidad de estas empresas. La asesoría y consultoría empresarial son esenciales para optimizar procesos y reducir costos. Con el apoyo adecuado, las microempresas pueden no solo sobrevivir, sino también prosperar y contribuir significativamente al desarrollo económico de Guayaquil.

Saving is one of the most important things in financial management. Saving is beneficial for the long term for life. In the conventional way, people can save in a closed container or generally use an object called a piggy bank. However, there are still many shortcomings of the current conventional piggy bank, such as having to be disassembled to take the money and it is difficult to monitor the amount of savings in it so that it can only be used once. With the help of technology, these conventional tools can be used better and more efficiently. This smart piggy bank can be integrated with the Telegram when money is inserted so that it becomes more monitored in saving. The money inserted is detected by infrared sensors and color sensors which are then accumulated and sent via Telegram. Previously, there has been similar research in using sensors to detect money and send notifications based on the Internet of Things. This research aims to develop the existing research by integrating some of its features. Testing was conducted using the Black Box method, focusing on the functionality of the device. As a result, the money inserted into the piggy bank can be accumulated properly and monitored via Telegram with a calculation according to the amount of money inserted and can be used by many people because it uses an RFID card that contains user data and savings so that it becomes more efficient and recorded.
