Published: May 2024

One of the most prevalent insect pests is the tobacco caterpillar or Spodoptera litura (Fabricius), which results in significant crop losses developed resistance against different insecticides over time. This laboratory experiment was carried out in the Department of Entomology, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU), Hyderabad during Karif, 2022. The susceptible population was reared in laboratory continuously for ten generation without exposing it to insecticides. The susceptibility of field populations of S. litura that were collected from many vegetable crops in the intense vegetable crop cultivating mandals i.e., Chevella and Maheshwaram of Rangareddy district to commonly used insecticides viz., chlorantraniliprole, emamectin benzoate and flubendamide was then compared with a laboratory reared susceptible population The bioassay studies revealed that the LC50 values of these insecticides were significantly higher in the field population collected from Chevella and Maheshwaram compared to the susceptible laboratory population. Based on the LC50 values the Resistant ratio (RR) was calculated for the field populations. It was found that Chevella population developed 35.34 folds resistance and Maheshwaram population also developed nearly 34.90-fold resistance against emamectin benzoate. Both Chevella and Maheshwaram populations were found to develop moderate resistance of 28.23 and 27.35-fold against flubendamide and comparatively lower resistance of 21.05 and 23.44-fold resistance against chlorantraniliprole when compared to susceptible population. These findings further helps in developing better IRM strategies.
Aprendizajes transdisciplinarios rumbo a la transición agroecológica. El sistema de producción agave-mezcal mexiquense
Authors: Sánchez Jiménez Eduardo
Published: May 2024

La producción de mezcal en el sur del Estado de México emerge como una actividad con el potencial de impulsar el desarrollo local y regional. No obstante, es imperativo abordar de manera proactiva las advertencias y alarmas que surgen en diversas dimensiones. Con este propósito, se han llevado a cabo actividades dirigidas a identificar y abordar las implicaciones multidimensionales, empleando talleres participativos con perspectiva agroecológica centrados en aspectos como el manejo de plagas y enfermedades. Estos talleres han permitido a los participantes ampliar su comprensión sobre la identificación de factores de riesgo en sus cultivos, así como brindarles herramientas para mitigar sus impactos, incluyendo la adopción de prácticas amigables con el medio ambiente y de bajo costo. Por otro lado, al analizar las estructuras productivas y organizativas, se ha evidenciado una notable debilidad en la integración de una empresa social. Es crucial dirigir una atención urgente hacia el fortalecimiento de esta estructura social para no comprometer la capacidad productiva en el futuro. Aunque la empresa social vislumbra un futuro prometedor, su fortalecimiento debe surgir desde la misma base social, separándose tanto política como económicamente del aparato gubernamental estatal en busca de un estado de autogestión. Una posible vía para lograrlo sería involucrar a las autoridades municipales, proporcionándoles recursos para el apalancamiento y promoviendo la inversión por parte de los socios en una estrategia de empoderamiento social con fines productivos.

África en los programas universitarios de español en Costa de Marfil:
Authors: Bi Drombé Djandué
Published: May 2024

El objetivo de esta contribución es mostrar cómo ha evolucionado el lugar de África en los contenidos de enseñanza universitaria del español en Costa de Marfil, ya que los estudios anteriores sobre la enculturación de la didáctica del español se han centrado más en la situación de la enseñaza secundaria, con el libro de texto como principal objeto de análisis. En cuanto a la enseñanza superior, el método analí­tico aplicado a unos datos cualitativos como son las diferentes denominaciones del departamento y la oferta de formaciones, en términos de especialidades, demuestra claramente que los programas de español en Costa de Marfil han estado marcados por una búsqueda permanente de África, para que el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera no sea la ocasión de un harakiri identitario en un continente cuyo sistema inmunitario cultural ya ha sido dañado por siglos de esclavitud y décadas de colonización.

Filosofía y ruralidades. Presentación
Authors: P. Pazos Abel
Published: May 2024

En contraposición a la predominancia cultural de lo urbano y en medio de un contexto de desenfrenado capitalismo globalizador, el VIII Congreso sobre Pensamiento Filosófico Contemporáneo se planteó el desafío de recoger algunas voces y discursos a menudo marginados por el canon del pensamiento occidental metrocentrista. A lo largo de esos tres días de octubre, en el congreso se analizaron pormenorizadamente las situaciones de sujetos, comunidades y geografías rurales, situaciones que tienden a ser activamente desescuchadas en un presente espacial que encuentra la globalización, la híper-densificación de las principales zonas urbanas-metropolitanas, y el vaciamiento forzoso de las geografías rurales, como uno de sus marcos de conflicto. Estos análisis profundizaron en las necesidades específicas de dichas comunidades, arrojando luz sobre sus desafíos y ofreciendo una perspectiva crítica a propósito de la complejidad de la interacción entre lo rural y lo urbano.
Desde estas inquietudes, el VIII Congreso se articuló como una plataforma a través de la que celebrar la diversidad de discursos filosóficos emergentes producidos en los marcos de lo comúnmente entendido como «rural», reconociendo su importancia crucial en la construcción de un diálogo integral sobre los desafíos que definen nuestro presente; y este monográfico es resultado de ese intercambio de saberes.
Hacer polis al margen de la ciudad
Authors: Portillo Marco
Published: May 2024

La cuestión que quiero ensayar se inspira en el «giro helenístico» que protagoniza Epicuro, pero versa sobre un problema de estricta actualidad: ¿cómo hacer ciudad al margen de la ciudad? A partir de esta pregunta se esboza un diagnóstico de la actualidad en clave metafórica. La tensión es clara: por un lado la convicción de que la ciudad es insostenible ¾ante lo cual el rural ofrece una alternativa prometedora¾, por otro lado la conciencia sobre la condición de posibilidad de la política entendida al modo republicano: toda política requiere de polis ¾por definición. Sin embargo, tal vez la polis no es la urbe, y donde la ciudad imposibilita, la ausencia de ciudad favorece. Así, el texto trata de recuperar el gesto epicúreo de fundar comunidad donde no hay, no queremos que haya o, sencillamente, ya no puede haber ciudad.

Trip Generating Developments (TGDs) have an influence on traffic in their location and are directly linked to the lack of control in the mobility of vehicles and pedestrians in the location, if their implementation is not properly planned. The objective of this work was to study traffic and conditions around Hospital da Vida (HV), located in the center Dourados-MS, as a Hospital PGV and propose safe mobility to the location. The study was developed with a bibliographical analysis of the topic, data relating to accidents and mobility in the region with local authorities, vehicle and pedestrian counts and on-site visits were also carried out. According to the data obtained, it was shown that HV has a high complexity/cost service, serving 33 municipalities in the region. According to data from counts carried out at the intersection of Toshinobu Katayama Street and Ciro Melo Street in Dourados-MS, a high flow of vehicles was noted, represented mainly by cars, as well as a high flow of pedestrians. In 500 meter radius studied had noticed the highest rate of accidents at the site in 2023, since 2020. Therefore, it was possible to note that the existing signs do not include safe mobility in the study site, with solutions being proposed using tactical urbanism and reinforcement of horizontal and vertical signs, with the aim of increasing safety and helping pedestrians stay and coexist.
Towards comprehensive civilian protection under Common Article 3 by addressing protection gaps in spill-over conflicts
Authors: Kipchirchir Kevin
Published: May 2024

There is a proliferation of non-international armed conflicts across the globe. Increasingly, these conflicts involve groups across two or more borders or that involve cross-border clashes. This is termed as spill-over conflict. The Middle East and Central Africa serve as salient examples to this effect. A literal reading of Common Article 3 locks out the victims of such conflicts from protected status. Common Article 3 restricts its application to non-international armed conflicts occurring in the territory of one high contracting party. The gap in protection occurs where the groups do not meet the organisational threshold in Additional Protocol II regarding the structure of the non-state actors’ organisation but are engaged in conflicts spanning more than a single territory. This paper examines the history of Common Article 3 and finds that the parties had no intention of locking out the application of Common Article 3 based on territorial considerations. Secondly, this paper looks into customary international law through state practice and jurisprudence. It finds that state practice and emerging jurisprudence recognises the fundamental principles that underpin Common Article 3. To this end, even where treaty law is inapplicable, customary international humanitarian law shall apply to provide protection to victims of spill-over non-international armed conflict. It is against this backdrop that the paper proposes that the single territory provision in Common Article 3 be amended to accommodate a more inclusive cross border reading.
A commentary on the matrimonial property conundrum in Kenya in JOO v MBO
Authors: Ndubi Marvis
Published: May 2024

Since the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, Kenyan jurisprudence has tussled with the question of division of matrimonial property in the instance of divorce. This is due to the conundrum posed by the meaning of Article 45(3) of the Constitution on equality of spouses in the realm of matrimonial property. Arguably, the courts, including the Supreme Court, have failed to put to resolve this conundrum. This is by dint of the inexistence of any strict formula for the sharing of matrimonial property during divorce despite the question finding its way to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kenya (SCORK). As chance would have it, SCORK got another grand opportunity to put this question to rest in the JOO v MBO case. However, this commentary opines that history repeated itself and the jurisprudential ambiguity in the sharing of matrimonial property is still with us, alive and well. This paper evaluates the question of matrimonial property sharing in Kenya in the lens of the SCORK’s JOO v MBO decision.
Teacher Professional Development Planning at SMAN 6 Palembang
Authors: Amilda  , Jumhur
Published: May 2024

This study delves into the topic of professional development planning for teachers at SMAN 6 Palembang. Program sustainability planning, activity planning, time planning, and financial planning are the intended topics of this research. In order to address the research question—how to organize teacher professional development in terms of activity, time, money, and program sustainability—this study used a qualitative method. Interviews, observations, and documentation studies are the methods used to gather data. Methods of purposive sampling are used in the selection of informants. Utilizing triangulation and member verification procedures, the reliability of the data is verified. Data analysis consists of four steps: gathering data, presenting it, checking it, and drawing conclusions. Results and discussion indicated that using teacher development patterns in activity planning is similar to adopting top-down policy rather than focusing on teachers' actual requirements in terms of professional development. Planning for teachers' professional development time has not been owned by schools, the Education Office, or teachers themselves. The majority of our growth time is dictated by external factors and the level of personal motivation from our teachers when it comes to self-improvement. Planning for the Teacher-Experienced Development Fund is not entirely the responsibility of teachers. Despite many school requirements, the needs of instructors are not taken into account when budgeting funds. School budgets have to go somewhere, and no one has thought about the long-term or short-term viability of teacher professional development programs while they were planning their sustainability.

Alec Jeffreys' papers on the application of minisatellite probes for human DNA fingerprinting were published almost three decades ago. Methodologies have rapidly evolved and diversified since those early days. Many different techniques have been created, improved upon, and then finally discarded as newer, more effective, and/or more reliable solutions emerged. While Southern blot hybridization and restriction fragment analysis dominated the initial stages of DNA fingerprinting, the invention of the PCR in the late 1980s paved the way for the creation of single- or multi-locus profiling techniques based on PCR. Plant DNA fingerprinting routines still frequently use PCR-based markers. Now, high-speed DNA sequencing was used for DNA fingerprinting in plants, either indirectly through the facilitation of marker development or directly through "genotyping-by-sequencing". Proper identification of plant species belonging to related taxa and finding their relatedness is necessary for the botanical world. DNA fingerprinting plays a crucial role in the authentication of plant specimens as it overcomes almost all of the limitations of traditional genotyping methods. In this chapter we aim to explain various molecular marker tools along with their advantages and disadvantages

Published: May 2024

Plants are sessile organisms and, therefore, amicable to various stress conditions, and in order, they produce various secondary metabolites as a defence mechanism. Plants‘ secondary metabolites were classified into three major classes: Phenolics, terpenoids and nitrogen- containing compounds, including alkaloids. In this review, we start with a general introduction to the different pathways producing significant classes of secondary metabolites in plants. We also discuss recent literature producing representatives of plant secondary metabolite classes in heterologous hosts by tissue culture. Additionally, metabolic engineering strategies to increase the bioactivity and stability of plant secondary metabolites be surveyed, by focusing on stigmasterol, gymnemic acids, catechin, atropine, betulinic acid, oleanolic acid, and ursolic acid, withanolides such as withaferin A and withanolide A glycosyltransferases. The efficient production of secondary metabolite representatives by cell suspension cultures, hairy root cultures etc., was also discussed. We end our review by proposing futuristic strategies to enhance the production of plant secondary metabolites with particular focus on zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) – CRISPR associated protein 9 (Cas9) genome editing

Authors: Prasanthi B.V. , Reddy P. Chenna
Published: May 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of network management and architecture, the emergence of Software Defined Networking (SDN) has become a transformative paradigm shift. SDN redefines the way networks are controlled, introducing a dynamic and programmable approach that departs from traditional, rigid network architectures. At the heart of SDN lies the concept of decoupling the control plane from the data plane, paving the way for centralized control, intelligent decisionmaking, and unparalleled adaptability. Unraveling the SDN architecture reveals a central orchestrator the SDN controller empowered with the capability to dynamically manage network resources. The controller communicates with network devices through southbound APIs, dictating the forwarding decisions to the simplified and efficient data plane. This separation of concerns empowers network administrators and developers to programmatically shape network behavior, responding swiftly to evolving requirements and application dynamics. In this chapter, we embark on an exploration of the fundamental principles of SDN, dissecting its key components, and unraveling the implications of its programmable nature particularly within the context of robust security measures. Acknowledging the paramount importance of security in contemporary networking, we address the inherent challenges and vulnerabilities that persist in traditional network security models. As we navigate through the intricate layers of SDN, our focus extends to securing this dynamic paradigm. We examine its centralized intelligence, dynamic adaptability, and the open standards underpinning interoperability, all while scrutinizing the security implications inherent in each facet

Data science careers often offer a wide range of professional choices. Data scientists gather and examine data using statistical methods and tools in order to produce valuable insights. Principles, procedures, and methodologies for comprehending phenomena through the (automated) study of data are included in data science. Understanding a data scientist's career path will help you assess the field if you are thinking about working in it. Data Science Career Pathways explains the fundamental abilities required for this job, explains how to become a data scientist, and provides information on average pay in each location. Data science is an exciting, enjoyable, interesting, promising, and rewarding field of work [1] [3]. It is crucial to remember that, in contrast to other conventional vocations, it is not necessary to acquire a degree. Several components of data science have their roots in fields like machine learning and data mining. Data science, machine learning, and data mining are actually frequently used in the same sentence. These disciplines have one thing in common: they put a lot of effort into using data analysis to make decisions better. Although borrowing from these other subjects, data science has a wider range of applications. The development and assessment of algorithms that extract patterns from data are the main goals of machine learning (ML)[2]. Data mining typically focuses on commercial applications and is generally concerned with the examination of structured data. All of these factors are taken into account, but data science also deals with other issues like gathering, cleaning, and transforming unstructured data from social media
MODERN BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ITS ROLE IN COMBATING BIOTIC STRESS: A NORTH-EAST INDIA’S PERSPECTIVE AND A VISION BEYOND
Authors: Sikdar Saptaparna , Debnath Prasenjit , Mahawar Sonam
Published: May 2024

Crop breeding is the science of incorporating novel and the most desired traits within agricultural crops for the overall benefit of mankind. Crop breeding as a science is as old as the practice of agriculture itself. Since the initial stages of agriculture, farmers have taken up conventional methods of breeding in order to identify and select prominent and noteworthy varieties of crops that show desired traits and fetch high yields. However, with passage of time, environmental conditions have altered, and with it comes the change in agricultural sector itself. Sudden adverse effects have been observed in agricultural crops, due to both biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Overcoming such stressful situations has become paramount and hence, scientists have started working towards improving crop breeding techniques that are able to produce better varieties in reduced amounts of time, with the help of modern biotechnology tools and techniques. This would enable incorporation of the desirable agronomic traits in crops and getting the maximum yield out of them as a result. Modern tools in plant molecular biology along with the concepts of conventional breeding can produce diverse plants, as will be discussed here with special reference to North East India‟s scenario and concurrent worldwide developments made so far in Molecular Biology, which are pathbreaking as per the Futuristic Trends in Biotechnology

The rate of femoral neck fractures (FNF) increases exponentially with age, meanwhile in geriatric patients they are associated with high levels of functional deficiency and mortality. Studies find that hip arthroplasty is a method of choice for treatment of displaced FNF. One option regarding the increased risk of postoperative dislocation in these patients is the dual-mobility acetabular cup (DMAC). The aim of our study is to assess the functional outcome, joint stability and complication rate after total hip arthroplasty (THA) using DMAC in geriatric patients with FNF. In the study were included 390 patients with a mean follow-up period of 31.2 months. No cases of dislocation or intraprosthetic dislocation were encountered. Displaced FNF can successfully be treated with THA using DMAC, as it provides excellent stability and function, as well as low risk of revision surgery.

Distal radius fracture (DRF) is a common wrist injury and it accounts for about one-sixth of emergency department visits. In spite of availability of various treatment options, none is universally effective for comminuted intraarticular fracture, because of varied fractures patterns. Two commonly used surgical methods are multiple K-wire fixation and open reduction and internal fixation by variable angle locking plates. Objective of the study was to compare functional outcomes of variable angle locking plate and multiple K wire fixation for intra-articular distal radius fracture in elderly. Prospective observational study was conducted among the patients of distal radius fractures with age more than 50 years. Patients were divided in to two groups with 24 cases in each group. Group one included patients treated with variable angle locking plate and group two included patients treated with multiple K-wires. Post surgery patients were assessed at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months. Evaluation was done clinically, and the outcomes were assessed by using the Disabilities Arm, Shoulder and Hand (quickDASH) score (primary outcome), Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) score, range of motion, grip strength and were compared between the groups. Patients treated with variable angle locking plate was found to have better functional outcome than those treated with multiple K-wire initially during the study, but later by the end of the study at 12 months, both groups were found to be having similar outcomes, with no significant difference between the groups. This signifies that among variable angle locking plate and multiple K-wire fixation, no single procedure is superior to the other in long term.

Objective: Sigmoid volvulus is most commonly seen in patients between 60 and 80 years old. The management of volvulus depends on its location and clinical presentation. The fundamental aspects of treatment include evaluating the viability of the colon, relieving the obstruction, and preventing the possibility of recurrence. We aimed to present the clinicopathological characteristics of geriatric colonic volvulus patients treated in a single center.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with colonic volvulus and treated in this hospital were included in the study. Mortality rates of patients who underwent and did not undergo preoperative colonoscopic detorsion were compared statistically. In addition, diseases that affect the quality of life and cause deterioration in bowel movements and habits were determined, and these diseases' effect on mortality was evaluated.
Results: Forty-four patients who underwent emergency surgery due to volvulus were included in our study. There was sigmoid colon perforation in two patients and cecum perforation in 1 patient. Two patients had cecal volvulus, and right hemicolectomy was performed in these patients; anastomosis was performed in one, and ileostomy was performed in the other. Sigmoid resection was performed in 36 patients, subtotal colectomy in 5 patients, right hemicolectomy in 2 patients, and sigmoidopexy with laparotomy and reduction in 1 patient. Thirteen patients (29.5%) underwent preoperative colonoscopy, and in eight cases, the procedure was conducted a day before the surgery, with the operation being carried out semi-urgently the next day.
Conclusion: Intestinal volvulus is a rare condition that can occur in any part of the large intestine. However, it is a severe medical issue that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment due to the possibility of intestinal damage and mortality.
Custom-Made Composite Shade for Matching an Odd-Shaded Restoration

Objective: This case report aims to present how to fabricate a new restoration to match existing odd-shaded ones. Clinical considerations: A polycarbonate provisional crown was used to produce a cement-retained immediate load provisional restoration over an implant of tooth number #9. Using a color correcting light source, it was noticed that existing restorations had very high value with excess gray hue. XL2 of Premise composite shade tab was the closest match found, and the base shade for the custom-made restoration. Once no shade match was found in commercially available shade guides, there was a demand to produce a custom-made shade to address this case. The facial surface of the provisional crown was prepared as a veneer. Utilizing XL2 Premise composite and adding different amounts of gray color modifier, shade matching was fulfilled by mixing the composite and the color modifier. In this case, five attempts were made to achieve color match. The restoration was polished utilizing Soflex Discs. Provisional crown was in function for 12 weeks. Conclusions: By implementation of the principles of color, restorative materials and characterization kits, the new temporary restoration could match the existing ones using the technique described in this case report.
