Authors: Aedin Celzin , MelucÄƒ Cristina , Ristea MÄƒdÄƒlina-Elena , Sandu Diana
Published: February 2024

In order to achieve profitable corn crops, implementing agricultural practices that take into account soil conservation, it is first necessary to identify and use the most effective types of tillage. Secondly, this approach must be completed with attention to the selection of productive hybrids, adapted to the pedological and climatic conditions of the cultivation area. Starting from this necessity, the objective of this paper is to present the results of the research carried out in the ConstanÈ›a area in order to identify the best combination of technological factors for the cultivation of corn. The research was carried out in the years 2017-2021 within the SC Micul Agricultor SRL Company from Osmancea, ConstanÈ›a County. To achieve the objectives of the research, a trifactorial experience of the 3 x 3 x 5 type was established. It was organized according to the method of subdivided plots, in three repetitions. Within it, the following factors were tested: Factor A = soil works, with graduations (a1 = plough, a2 = tiger, a3 = disk); Factor B = the hybrid, with the graduations (b1 = Mas 40 F, b2 = Dartona, b3 = P9911); Factor C = year of experimentation, with graduations (c1 = 2017 F, c2 = 2018, c3 = 2019, c4 = 2020, c5 = 2021). The best results in terms of seed germination and yield were recorded for the variant in which the basic tillage was carried out with tiger. Using the disc for basic tillage had negative effects on the percentage of plants that emerged, but also reduced seed yield, while weed infestation was higher compared to the other types of tillage. Results show that tillage was the main factor influencing production, followed by hybrid selection. Knowledge of the effects of tillage types, combined with hybrid selection is important in developing crop management practices adapted to the condition of a particular crop area, which will ensure a balance between farmers' need to increase productivity and conserve natural soil resources.

Pests in corn crops are continuously increasing and diversifying from year to year and for them large amounts of insecticides are used with polluting effects on the environment and harmful to health. So, through this study we set out to see what is the density of pests (using traps to attract and catch) in 2 culture systems (organic and conventional) and to try to find solutions that are friendly to the environment and at the same time with minimal effort and effect durable. In this sense, 4 plots in 2 localities in western Romania (Arad County) were organized for 3 years (2021-2023) both in the open field for monitoring activities of pests and natural enemies and in cages for the interaction report between them and also for evaluating the effectiveness of 2 common bioinsecticides. The monitoring results showed that the pests had a high diversity and a high numerical level of Hemiptera, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera (as target organisms), especially in the organic plots. The predominant natural enemies were from the genera Sphaerophoria, Harmonia, Lysiphlebus, Argiope, Chrysoperla and Coccinella among many others with average values over 100 and a good potential interaction ratio (natural enemies - pests) (1:13.94). The best variant related to the efficiency of bioinsecticides was BB (1)-HD, studies proving that a higher dose is more effective. All, the use of traps (attract-catch), as well as the exploitation of natural enemies and the application of bioinsecticides can constitute biological solutions available to agricultural farmers.

Research in our country on the number of species needed to set up temporary grasslands has highlighted the productive and structural superiority of complex mixtures of more than two species. Although for the composition of mixtures is intended to use species and varieties as well as possible adapted to the environment, annual climatic variations sometimes influence the behaviour of the species and therefore productivity. The need to reduce doses of chemical fertilizers in the exploitation of temporary grasslands requires finding solutions to saturate the multiple ecological niches of temporary grassland ecosystems. These can be achieved by using a mix of a larger number of species adapted to the pedo-climatic conditions specific to the cultivation area, as well as by using an appropriate ratio between these species. The purpose of the study was to follow the productivity and evolution of the vegetation structure in some crop mixtures, in different conditions of fertilization. The research was conducted under the conditions of the Center of Moldova from Romania at ARDS Secuieni - NeamÅ£, during the 2018-2021 period,. The production of dry matter according to the type of mixture and the doses of fertilizers used the percentage of participation of perennial grasses and leguminous species in the vegetation structure, as well as its quality was analysed. From the analysis of the obtained data, the highest feed production (24.82 MgÂ·ha-1 DM) was obtained in the variant fertilized with N80P40 and sown with the mixture consisting of 70% grasses (Festuca arundinacea 30% + Dactylis glomerata 20% + Festuca pratensis 20%) and 30% leguminous (Medicago sativa 20% + Trifolium pratense 10%). At the first cut, in the mixture of 70% grasses (Festuca arundinacea 30% + Dactylis glomerata 20% + Festuca pratensis 20%) and 30% leguminous (Medicago sativa 20% + Trifolium pratense 10%), the participation percentage of grasses in the vegetation structure varied from 57% in the non-fertilized variant, to 61% in the variant fertilized with N80+40P40. The quality of the feed obtained was good for all variants studied.

Published: February 2024

Onion (Allium cepa L.) suffers a rapid deterioration in quality during storage due to physiological changes and pathological damage. This experiment evaluated the effects of different plant extracts and curing days on the postharvest quality of onion. The experiment was laid out in a two-factor complete randomized design with three replications. One factor was the curing, 0, 5, and 10 days; and another factor was botanical extracts, coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) (2%) oil, neem oil (Azadirachta indica L.) (2%), and aloe vera gel (Aloe vera L.) (2%). At 80 days of storage, the use of neem extract showed the minimum loss in physiological weight (10.57%), the minimum sprouting (38.88%), the minimum rotting (35.55%), minimum sprout length (12.89 cm), maximum total soluble solids content (8.43%), minimum titratable acidity (0.50 g/L), and minimum visual color rating (1) due to minimum loss in original color followed by coconut oil and aloe vera gel. Additionally, curing for a duration of 5 days yielded improved outcomes. Consequently, onions that underwent a 5-day curing process and were treated with neem extract exhibited superior quality and an extended shelf life. This approach can be advocated as the optimal method to uphold quality standards and enhance the longevity of onions.

Published: February 2024

The current study aimed to assess the health of the Malin River situated in Najibabad city, India by analyzing several physicochemical parameters. The main objective was to evaluate the impact of industrial and domestic wastewater on the river's health. The study was conducted over six months, from January to June 2023, at four different locations along the river. To calculate the water quality index (WQI), the data was further processed, and Pearson correlation was utilized. Except for site 1, most of the analyzed physicochemical parameters exceeded the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) limit, as indicated by the results. The utilization of river Malin water for irrigation, laundry, and vegetable cleaning may pose a health hazard to the public due to high contamination levels at the points where industrial (site 2) and domestic (site 3) effluents continuously mix with the river water. The water quality at all locations is deemed unsuitable for consumption due to a WQI score greater than 100. There are strong positive correlations between total dissolved solids (TDS) and other studied parameters, except for dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and turbidity. This suggests the presence of inorganic pollutants concerning organic pollutants. Wastewater treatment facilities are necessary along river coasts to conserve river flora and fauna, as well as water quality, to safeguard human and river health.
Understanding the Transcription Factor Mediated Regulatory Mechanism Towards Abiotic Stress Response in Cereal Crops
Authors: Dweh Tuward J. , Kayastha Salma , Mahapatra Manaswini , Sahoo Jyoti Prakash
Published: February 2024

Cereal crops are critical to global food security and are valued for their adaptability and nutritional value. However, they are increasingly threatened by abiotic stresses such as water scarcity, high soil salinity, severe climatic conditions, and nutrient deficiencies. This review focuses on the central role of transcription factors (TFs) in the response of cereal crops to these environmental challenges. TFs, such as the DREB family, the bZIP family, and the WRKY family, emerge as central players in this intricate regulatory network. They initiate or inhibit the activation of stress-responsive genes by binding to specific cis-regulatory elements located in gene promoters and enhance the resilience of cereal crops to various abiotic stresses. For example, DREB1/CBF TFs alleviate cold stress, NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2 (NAC) factors combat salinity stress, and WRKY TFs modulate responses to drought, salinity, and cold stress by initiating vital physiological processes, including osmotic regulation, antioxidant defense, and ion homeostasis, ultimately promoting stress tolerance. Genetic engineering strategies that overexpress these stress-responsive genes and TFs hold great promise for enhancing crop resilience and productivity in the face of climate change. In addition, this review also emphasizes the potential of epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, to fine-tune the control of genes that respond to abiotic stresses. These findings benefit agriculture by addressing global food security challenges.

Published: February 2024

Background: Cancer spares no demographic or socioeconomic group; it is indeed the great equalizer. But its distribution is not equal; when structural discrimination concentrates poverty and race, zip code surpasses genetic code in predicting outcomes. Compared with White patients in the United States, Black patients are less likely to receive appropriate treatment and referral to clinical trials, genetic testing, or palliative care/hospice. Methods: In 2021, we administered a survey to 369 oncologists measuring differences in perceptions surrounding racial disparity, racial anxiety, and unconscious bias and adverse influence on clinical interactions, treatment, and outcomes for non-White patients. We analyzed responses by generational age group, sex/gender, race/ethnicity, US region, and selection of “decline to respond.” Results: The most significant differences occurred by age group followed by race/ethnicity. Racial disparity was perceived as moderate to very high by 84% of millennial, 69% of Generation X, and 57% of baby boomer oncologists, who were also 86% more likely than millennials and 63% more likely than Generation Xers to perceive low/nonexistent levels of racial anxiety/unconscious bias. Conclusions: Most oncologists rarely or never perceived racial anxiety/unconscious bias as adversely influencing clinical treatment or survival outcomes in non-White patients, and White oncologists were 85% more likely than non-White oncologists to perceive rare/nonexistent influence on referral of non-White patients to palliative care/hospice. The discrepancy between 62% of oncologists perceiving moderate to very high levels of racial anxiety/unconscious bias and 37% associating them with adverse influence on non-White patients shows a disconnect, especially among older oncologists (baby boomers), who were also least likely to select the decline option. Together, these factors hinder effective patient–provider communication and result in differential care and outcomes. Oncologists should uncover their own perceptions surrounding racial disparity, racial anxiety, and unconscious bias and modify their behaviors accordingly. It is this simple—and this complicated. Cancer does not discriminate, and neither should cancer care.

Authors: Shuford Jeff , Islam Md.Mafiqul
Published: February 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly pervasive across various domains, including smartphones, social media platforms, search engines, and autonomous vehicles, among others. This study undertakes a scoping review of the current landscape of AI technologies, following the PRISMA framework, with the aim of identifying the most advanced technologies utilized in different domains of AI research. Three reputable journals within the artificial intelligence and machine learning domain, namely the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, the Journal of Machine Learning Research, and Machine Learning, were selected for this review. Articles published in 2022 were scrutinized against certain criteria: the technology must be tested against comparable solutions, employ commonly approved or well-justified datasets, and demonstrate improvements over comparable solutions. A crucial aspect of technology development identified in this review is the processing and exploitation of data collected from diverse sources. Given the highly unstructured nature of data, technological solutions should minimize the need for manual intervention by humans. The review indicates that creating labeled datasets is a labor-intensive process, leading to increased research focus on solutions leveraging unsupervised or semi-supervised learning technologies. Efficient updating of learning algorithms and the interpretability of predictions emerge as key considerations in the development of AI technologies. Moreover, in real-world applications, ensuring safety and providing explainable predictions are imperative before widespread adoption can be achieved. Thus, this review underscores the importance of addressing these factors to facilitate the responsible and effective integration of AI technologies into various domains.

The number of motorised vehicles, according to the Central Statistics Agency, reached 94,373,324 in 2012, and there was an increase in 2013 to 104,118,986. This is influenced by increasingly rapid population growth and the increasing need for transportation. Used lubricating oil is categorised as B3 waste, which can be seen from its characteristics and its constituent components. Rice husks resulting from milling that are not utilised optimally are usually only used as ash, or the use of rice husks has so far been limited to just being thrown away. Research was carried out regarding the activated carbon test from rice husk waste to adsorb Pb in used lubricating oil using a sulfuric acid activator and determine the effectiveness of reducing Pb (lead). The mass ratio of rice husks before and after calcination is 1:2, where the initial weight of the husks before calcination is 250 grammes to 125 grammes after undergoing calcination. A mass of 10 grammes of adsorbent that has been activated using sulfuric acid and a stirring time of 60 minutes can reduce the lead content of the used lubricant from 49,569 ppm to 39,241 ppm.

La paz: expresión estética de la empatía
Authors: Diazgranados Rincones Paola , Molina Valencia Nelson
Published: February 2024

Este capítulo se ha pensado desde la reflexión de la paz como fenómeno autónomo que puede definirse independiente de la violencia, la guerra o la destrucción. Cuando se suele hablar de paz aparecen los repertorios de la guerra para entenderla por antinomia, omisión o, como lo dice Galtung, como la paz negativa. En contraste, al referirse a la guerra, sus eventos tienen repertorios propios que no requieren de la paz. Este artículo es un esfuerzo para hablar de la paz como un asunto autónomo en sí mismo y sin aludir su estudio a la atención de los efectos derivados de la violencia o de la guerra como ha sido frecuente en Colombia. Como autores,se espera conseguir este propósito o, al menos, sugerir el primer paso. Para lograr un acercamiento a dicho propósito se hizo necesario identificar información, opinones, recursos y significado que sobre paz y empatía tiene un grupo de sujetos de diferentes edades, sexos, estados civiles y niveles educativos. El estudio mixto se realiza por medio de dos técnicas: cuestionario abierto y asociación libre. A partir del análisis de contenido y semántico se encuentra que la visión estética se relaciona con las formas de convivencia que son una expresión de la paz como bella, armónica, ética, alejada de lo atroz, en formas relacionales centradas en el cuidado. Evidencia que la comprensión que las personas tienen de la paz está vinculada con acciones cotidianas donde queda cuestionado el nivel macro o micro de estas. La destrucción no hace parte del repertorio propio de la paz.

Published: February 2024

Abstract: FPSO (Floating Storage Production and Offloading) is a floating structure that can be used as a location for production, storage or offloading of offshore oil and gas. Therefore, FPSO plays an important role in the exploration of oil fields in the deep sea. When operating, the FPSO will be exposed to environmental loads that can cause it to operate flexibly. To reduce movement response and maintain the FPSO in position, a mooring system is needed. The aim of this research is to analyze the numerical results of this experiment to find RAO (Response Amplitude Operator) free movement (free floating) as well as motion trajectory (surge & sway), motion characteristics, mooring line stress based on variations in the number of ropes used when moored with the direction of loading (heading) from different directions with time domain 250 seconds for each identification. This comparison analysis uses software Boundary Element Method (BEM) with data on FPSO dimensions, type of rope and mooring system, as well as environmental loads that influence the movement of the FPSO structure. The results of the analysis obtained show that in essence the use of the number of mooring lines will greatly influence the movement characteristics, the trajectory/flow of the floating structure and the tension of the mooring ropes. Where, the fewer the number of ropes used, the greater the movement and tension of the resulting rope and vice versa. Usually due to the mass of mooring line which is influenced by the number of ropes not being the same or smaller than displacement FPSO and is also influenced by environmental forces or loads which have repeated patterns over a certain time so that the amount used mooring line must also consider all aspects of the environment in its planning.

Published: February 2024

HIV/AIDS is no longer a rare disease, because the level of infection is widespread and a concern, which is one of the factors causing it is promiscuity. Therefore, Allah regulates his servants in the realm of association or behavior in order to avoid harm. This paper uses the thematic tafsir research method (maudu'i) which discusses the verse of the Qur'an related to changes in behavior to avoid HIV/AIDS, and is supported by arguments and facts that can be accounted for, as stated in QS. Ar-Rad verse 11 and QS Al-Isra verse 32. The implication of this research is that by applying health promotion strategies in the form of advocacy, partnership, and community empowerment, the community, especially adolescents who are vulnerable to falling into promiscuity, can be educated through socialization and procurement of pocket books as an indication of HIV/AIDS prevention.Keywords : Behavior change, Qur’an, HIV/AIDS

Published: February 2024

This study explains a robot arm system control simulation using a fuzzy logic controller. The robot arm is a nonlinear system and is not easily controlled using a conventional control system since the mathematical model of the system is not easy to obtain. Considering these problems, this final project presents a simulation of a fuzzy logic controller on a robot arm system. The aim of this control is to move the robot arm at an angular speed thus the robot gets the desired torque or the right position. Determining fuzzy rules greatly influences system stability. This control network produces output in the form of torque while the robot arm system calculates the next torque from the robot. The best output results were found on the triangular curve at response 2 because of the difference in values 0.01 on the final angle obtained.

Disease plant food can cause significant loss in production agriculture since difficult to detect early symptoms of disease. Apart from that, the selection of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture for the detection of disease plants often faces the challenge of trade-offs between accuracy and efficiency. In this research, we propose a solution with compares the performance of three current CNN architectures, ie MobileNet, EfficientNet, and Inception, in context predictions of disease plant food. We implement a transfer learning approach to increase efficiency and performance model predictions. The contribution of this study is located on the guide practical for researchers and practitioners in choosing appropriate CNN architecture with need-specific application detection disease plant food. In this experiment, we use 3 datasets to represent plant food in Indonesia, namely rice, corn, and potatoes. Metric evaluation performances like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score are used to compare the results of the experiment. Experimental results show a significant difference in performance third tested architecture. MobileNet stands out in speed inference and necessity source low power, temporary EfficientNet shows a good balance between accuracy and efficiency. Inception delivers superior results in detecting feature complex however needs to source more power. In conclusion, the selection of CNN architecture for predictions of disease plant food must consider the trade-off between accuracy, speed inference, and necessity source power. These experimental results can give a guide valuable for practitioners in making appropriate technology with need Specific application detection disease plant food.

Trend analysis of annual average flow data is very important for better water resources management, planning and operation. In this study, annual average flow data from M. Kemal Paşa, Orhaneli and Simav flow observation stations located in Susurluk Basin were tested with Mann-Kendall, Spearman Rho and Şen's Innovative trend methods and the trends of the stations were tried to be determined and the performances of these methods were evaluated. In addition, annual average flow data were submitted to regression analysis, yielding equation sets. For each station, the annual and 100-year changes in m3/s were determined. Analyzing the results, only Şen's Innovative Trend Method analysis found a general decreasing trend for all 3 stations. In the analyses of Mann-Kendall and Spearman’s Rho methods, no trend was detected in all 3 stations. In addition, 100-year percentage change values of the data of 3 stations were determined. According to these values, it is concluded that there will be a significant decrease in the flow values of the stations in the future.
Voronoi cells in metric algebraic geometry of plane curves
Authors: Brandt Madeline , Weinstein Madeleine
Published: February 2024

Voronoi cells of varieties encode many features of their metric geometry. We prove that each Voronoi or Delaunay cell of a plane curve appears as the limit of a sequence of cells obtained from point samples of the curve. We use this result to study metric features of plane curves, including the medial axis, curvature, evolute, bottlenecks, and reach. In each case, we provide algebraic equations defining the object and, where possible, give formulas for the degrees of these algebraic varieties. We show how to identify the desired metric feature from Voronoi or Delaunay cells, and therefore how to approximate it by a finite point sample from the variety.
The history and range expansion of peregrine falcons in the Thule area, Northwest Greenland

Published: February 2024

Peregrine Falcons, Falco peregrinus tundrius, were historically unknown to Inuit and early explorers in the Pituffik (Thule) area, northwest Greenland (75.90-77.60° N). Here we provide information collected from 1993-2005 on what we believe is a recently established and expanding population of High Arctic nesting Peregrines in the area associated with climate change.
From 1979 to 2005, the average of the mean monthly temperature, minimum monthly temperature, and maximum monthly temperature for the five-month period, May through September, increased 1.1, 0.5, and 1.6 °C, respectively. Forty-one breeding attempts were recorded at six sites from 1993 to 2005 for this new population. Satellite transmitters were used to determine the home ranges and seasonal movements of female Peregrines, with adults traveling an average of 10,794 km at a rate of 205 km/day on outward migration. During outward migration, the maximum distance traveled by any female on one day was 1,349 km with the maximum total outward and return migrations for single individuals 12,438 and 11,071 km, respectively, to and from South America.
Comparisons with Peregrine populations in Greenland at 67° N and 60.5° N, approximately 1,100 (Kangerlussuaq) and 1,700 (South Greenland) km south of the Pituffik area, respectively, show differences in various aspects of ecology. Based on a lack of both morphological and genetic differences it appears the Pituffik area population is likely a result of the extension of more southern breeding Peregrines moving north and taking advantage of an ameliorating climate and lengthened breeding window. Should climatic amelioration continue, the species may eventually expand its range into the very northernmost land area, Peary Land.
