Authors: Vasilyeva Ekaterina Nikolaevna , Tulinova Olga Vasilievna , Petrova Anna Vladimirovna
Published: November 2023

The studied 338 bulls of the new generation of US selection belong to the previously identified genealogical complexes (branches) of H.H.С. Manfred (Mf), B.M.T. Cleitus (Cl), Prelude (Pr)in the W. Ideal line and Blackstar Emori (BE), Magic (Mg), Adam (Ad) and G. Arlinda Chief (AC) in the R. Sovereign line. The influence of genetic factors: father, line, branch and level of inbreeding on the Genomic Estimation of Breeding Value (GEBV) for the productive qualities of young bulls was studied. On average, the inbreeding coefficient of the studied livestock is 13.14±0.15 from 12.72±0.54 to 15.98±1.26%, the genomic estimate for milk yield varied from 1204±101 to 1571±198 kg with an average value 1308±27 kg of milk.A significant weak positive correlation between the genomic assessment of bulls for milk yield and the inbreeding coefficient was revealed (r = +0.118, p?0.95).Differences in the GEBV of milk productivity traits between groups of bulls of different genealogical complexes are not significant. Significant differences in inbreeding coefficients only between Cl and AC (–3.08%, p?0.95), Ad and AC (–3.06%, p?0.95), BE and AC (–3.26%, p?0.95). Using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), a large influence on the genomic breeding value was established by the factor inbreeding coefficient - 42.4% for milk yield, 53.6% for fat content and 58.9% for protein content, which is comparable to the influence of the father on the GEBV for milk yield 42.6%, fat and protein content 50.8 and 46.0%, respectively.
The influence of the method of harvesting seeded hemp on the yield and quality of seeds in the conditions of the Middle Volga region
Authors: Bakulova Irina Vladimirovna
Published: November 2023

In the conditions of the Penza region in 2014-2022, field studies of various methods of harvesting seeded hemp were conducted. We compared the separate harvesting with the use of a hemp harvester LCD-1,9 followed by threshing with a threshing machine MLK-4,5 and harvesting with combine harvesters of various modifications. Practical studies on the use of direct harvesting on seed hemp have shown positive results in solving the problem of harvesting seed crops without manual labor. The introduction of combine harvesters in the process of harvesting hemp for seeds contributed to a gradual increase in the acreage in Russia, so, in 2010, the area occupied by this crop was at the level of 1.1 thousand hectares, by 2022 it reached 14.3 thousand hectares, and in the future it is planned to expand the acreage. The Penza Research Institute also has a positive trend in the expansion of acreage, so, in 2014, the acreage occupied 9 hectares, in 2022, the acreage increased to 102 hectares. The volume of collection of original seeds has increased from 2 to 60 tons. When comparing seeds obtained after different harvesting methods, a difference was found in the amount of damage, the amount of laboratory germination, the development of pathogenic microflora, and therefore it is necessary to further improve the technology of harvesting cannabis.

Authors: Zakharova Marina Nikolaevna , Rozhkova Lyudmila Vasilievna
Published: November 2023

As a leader in the development of high plant protection technologies, Bayer CropScience was the first in Russia to introduce the herbicide Alistair Grand, MD, specialized specifically for autumn use on winter grain crops. Experiments to study the effectiveness of the herbicide were laid in the fields of the ISA, a branch of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution FNATS VIM in the Ryazan Region in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022. on dark gray forest heavy loamy soil. Under pre-sowing cultivation, 1.0 c/ha of azofos was applied. In the phase of spring tillering, winter wheat crops were fertilized with ammonium nitrate of 1.0 c/ha. Herbicide Alistair Grand, MD was applied in doses of 0.8 and 1.0 l / ha (spraying) in the phase of 1-3 leaves of the culture. In the same doses, Alistair Grand, MD (spraying) was used in the tillering phase of the crop. On the control variant, the herbicide was not used. Two-year tests of the autumn application of the herbicide Alistair Grand, MD in the phase of 1-3 leaves and in the tillering phase with a rate of application of 0.8 and 1.0 l / ha on winter wheat crops showed its high efficiency in the destruction of annual dicotyledonous and annual cereal (common broomstick) weeds. Annual dicots were inhibited to 97.9% in number and up to 96.6% by weight. tenacious bedstraw – by 11.5–12.5 pcs/m2, wild spin – by 17–19 pcs/m2, field and shepherd's purse violets – by 5.5–6.0 pcs/m2, common broom – by 14–15 pcs/m2. Surveys at the resumption of vegetation and before harvesting showed the complete destruction of the common broomstick. From the use of the drug, an additional grain yield of 106.9–114.7% was obtained.

“THE ABYSS” BY A.N. OSTROVSKY. REFLECTION ON MELODRAMA AND THEATER
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Odesskaya Margarita M.
Published: November 2023

Ostrovsky’s “The Abyss” play (1865) is a response to the French melodrama popular in the 1830s “Thirty years, or Life of a Gambler” by V. Ducange and M. Dinaux, that traces the story of the moral decay of Goige de Germanie, the aristocrat dragged into the abyss of vice. The paper treats the play by A.N. Ostrovsky as a meta-drama where characters discuss the “Life of a Gambler” theatrical performance. The Russian playwriter polemizes with the stereotype of French melodrama with its inherent accumulation of passions and crimes far from real life, as well as with the morality straightforwardly expressed at the end of the play. Feeding on the melodrama by Ducange and Dinaux, the playwriter transfers the action to his native soil and constructs his own meta-plot, while staying, paradoxical as it may sound, within the melodramatic discourse. In his play, character types, who are known from previous plays, act, and the abyss of the “realm of darkness” of the Moscow merchants gulps the “weak heart”. In the Ostrovsky’s drama, the story of an ordinary person defeated by life unfolds in time. Afterwards, this theme will be the leading one in Chekhov’s works. It is significant that director Sergei Zhenovach perceived the Ostrovsky’s play as a meta-drama: he combined works of Russian and French playwriters in one performance, which was staged in 1993 at the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya. Ostrovsky’s “The Abyss” is unique in form and content: it expresses the playwriter reflection on melodrama and theater.
ABOUT SOME FEATURES OF THE POETIC LANGUAGE OF LEONID ARONZON AND VIKTOR KRIVULIN
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Pronin Maksim V.
Published: November 2023

The article analyses some features of the poetic language use in the work of two representatives of Leningrad uncensored poetry (Leonid Aronzon and Viktor Krivulin). In their texts, most often written in compliance with all the norms of traditional syllabotonics, they actively practiced formand word-making, creating new words and various sentences without semantic layer. They introduced foreign-language borrowings, ready quotations from other literary works and obscene vocabulary. In some cases, they could also conduct experiments with non-standard graphic presentation of the text, trying to achieve its perfect symmetry.Studying the idiosyncrasy of the poetic idiolect (the identification of language means regularly repeated in texts, new verbal constructions, whole words or forms of words, syntactic constructions) of the “uncensored” Leningrad authors helps the reader to better understand how their artistic world was created.
LOCATIVE SACRAL CENTER IN ALEXANDER BASHLACHEV’S MYTHOPOETIC PICTURE OF THE WORLD
Authors:   Bryansk Branch of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation, Gavrikov Vitalii A.
Published: November 2023

The article is about the three main sacred categories of Alexander Bashlachev’s mythopoetic system: the time of the end of the world, the place of the Last Judgment, the personality of the messiah. Such a concept was developed in the poet’s mature work (end of 1985 – first half of 1986). According to Bashlachev’s views, the world is on the eve of a great eschatological event, named differently in each of the songs( time of the Gathering of Stones, the Last Judgment, the Day of Judgment, etc.). At that moment, the messiah who is hidden behind the poetic formula, the Name of Names, will appear to the world. Studying Bashlachev’s works have not yet answered the question: where in the mythopoetic picture of the world will this “Event of Events” take place. That is, the available research has not yet revealed the sacred center of Bashlachev’s mythopoetic system. The author of the article proves that it was Siberia that became such a center. It is connected with the biographical collisions of the poet: a trip to Novosibirsk at the end of 1985, during which a creative breakthrough occurred. The poet associated that new qualitative level with the special atmosphere of Siberia and the people who live here. According to Bashlachev, the new messiah will come from among the Siberians, because they are people involved in sacred power. Accordingly, in the eschatological texts of Bashlachev, dedicated to the birth of the messiah (the Name of Names), the Siberian chronotope is explicated.
THE FORMS OF SELF-REFLECTION MANIFESTATION IN THE SONGS OF F. CHISTYAKOV “NORTHERN BOOGIE” AND “NORTHERN BLUES”
Authors:   Kazan (Volga region) Federal University, Stankovich Zinaida G.
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the study... of forms in which selfreflection manifests itself in the songs of Fyodor Chistyakov “Northern Boogie” (1990) and “Northern Blues” (2013). It is revealed that in those works the rock poet creates a bizarre combination of the Northern Russian picture of the world with the world of African-American musical culture. Such non-trivial move makes it possible to compare life in the godsent “South” and in the difficult for survival “North”, where a person’s life is always the overcoming, “daily heroism”: exactly here, in unfavorable conditions, a person enters into an eternal “battle for the right to be” and learns to win. In the first of the songs, these motifs are only outlined, a view of the northern world from the outside and a certain understatement prevails. In the second work, the interpretation of life motives is deepened and expanded due to the concretization of the main human existence’s characteristics in the Russian North, as well as a complex subjective organization involving the fusion of “I”, “you” and “we”. As a result, the picture of the Northern Russian world goes far beyond geographical concepts and acquires metaphysical qualities, spreading all over the Earth as a special cultural code, to which the author sometimes treats quite ironically. The article concludes that it is possible to consider the author’s return after some time (necessary for comprehensive thinking or point of view’s change) to certain original motives and images a form of self-reflection. Such a “return move” opens to the lyrical subject the perspective of self-irony, the productivity of which is realized in creating a special mood of paraparody, providing the ability to survive and be alive in the harshest realities of life
TWO SONGS ABOUT A TERRIFYNG HOUSE. THE LYRICAL STATUS OF THE PROSE ELEMENTS
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Domanskii Yurii V.
Published: November 2023

The article compares two songs from the second half of the twentieth century describing similar events. They are “The song about an Old House in New Arbat Street” (music by Mikael Tariverdiev, words by Vladimir Vysotsky and sung by Vladimir Vysotsky) and “The Little House” (music by Igor Korneliuk, words by Regina Lisits, sung by Igor Korneliuk). The analysis covers such elements as the storyline, the system of points of view, and the motive structure; the similarities and differences are traced between the two songs. That follows with a conclusion on the specific generic nature of those elements, which are realized in the text as epic, but at the same time acquire a lyrical status. Particular attention is given to the way in which in both songs the lyrical theme supersedes the epic storyline. That is to say, the epic plot loses its dominance, becoming rather the pretext for the emergence of the lyrical theme. In both texts the epic generic element is reduced and the lyrical one accentuated.
THE OBSERVER CATEGORY AND MYTHOTECTONICS IN H. MEYRINK’S “ANGEL OF THE WESTERN WINDOW”. BEING THROUGH THE EYES OF AN ALCHEMIST
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Makhov Dmitrii A.
Published: November 2023

The article analyzes the observer category of the “inner world” in the novel “The Angel of the Western Window” by G. Mayrink: the factors of the artistic impression at the level of focalization and mythotectonics are consistently systematized in the logical scheme of the evolution of the worldview of the main character, Baron Muller (John Dee). The chronotope of the legend of “St. Patrick’s well” is studied as the foundation for the author’s myth of man’s being in the world, manifested in the novel. The observer in the novel perceives the “inner world” of the novel in reverse perspective, interpreting all the events taking place in terms of the alchemical sacrament of transforming one’s soul into a light-bearing hypostasis. The observer goes through the path of the great magisterium: he ceases to control the act, succumbs to darkness and death, ascends transfigured, overcomes the trial by fire and performs an alchemical wedding, the fruit of which is the acquisition of the philosopher’s stone. Each of the stages of the transfiguration of the observer corresponds to one of the chronotope levels of the legend of “Saint Patrick’s Well”, so it becomes the plot-forming for the mythotectonic level of the entire novel.
LIEUTENANT COLOMBO - THE LAST HERO OF THE CLASSICAL DETECTIVE STORY
Authors:   an independent researcher, Kirilenko Natal’ya N.
Published: November 2023

The article considers most of the films in the Columbo cycle as the classical detective story. Columbo has all the necessary features of the classical sleuth: aptitude for acting, grotesqueness, trickery, breach of the norm. His appearance is close to mask that is why his attributes (a cigar and a raincoat) are so important. Unlike the classical sleuths in literature Columbo works for the police but contrasts against his normal colleagues as a wrong policeman. Depiction of the crime precedes investigation is characteristic not of the literary classical detective story, but of a number of works by R. Austin Freeman, who introduced the concept of the inverted detective story. But in these works there is no detective pointe, required for the classical detective story. In the Columbo cycle the pointe is associated not with the announcement of the name of the criminal, as in literature, but with the way he is unmasked.

THE EARLY HISTORIAN XANTHUS OF LYDIA. SOME ISSUES REGARDING BIOGRAPHY AND CREATIVE WORK
Authors:   Institute of World History, Russian Academy of Sciences, Surikov Igor E. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: November 2023

The article deals with a prominent representative of early Greek historical writing, Xanthus of Lydia, whose life and legacy have been studied extremely insufficiently; correspondingly, a number of issues still unsolved is connected with him, chronological ones among them. In particular, there are various opinions as to the time of his life, and so it is not clear whether he influenced Herodotus or vice versa. One of the reasons for that is certainly the fragmentary preservation of their writings, none of which has survived in full. However, the fragments of those texts that we have at our disposal are in the aggregate numerous, and the information they contain provides a basis for responsible judgments on many subject-plots. The article provides arguments, according to which Xanthus was Herodotus’ elder contemporary and the influence came from him. Common features between the two above-mentioned historians are analyzed.
THE RHYTHMS OF EVIL IN THE 14TH CENTURY ENGLISH PSALTER
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Maizuls Mikhail R.
Published: November 2023

In medieval iconography, one of the main properties of evil is its multiplicity and changeability. As we know from the works on medieval demonology published by Alexander Makhov, such fluidity of forms was often equated with disorder and contrasted with an orderly hierarchy of the sacred. The author demonstrates that this applied not only to demons, but also to figures of non-Christians, primarily Jews and Romans in scenes of the Passion of Christ. The author of the present article takes the case of the Fitzwarin Psalter, one of the most extraordinary manuscripts illuminated in England in the 14th century. He shows that the variations of forms and colors in the figures of demonized enemies of Christ were sometimes organized in the rhythmic sequences which gave disorder a partial ordering. However, even in images of saints, in which symmetry and hierarchy dominated for a long time, variations were constantly introduced. They complicated (made more “live”) the static composition and led the viewer’s gaze. These observations suggest that many of the transformations of markers of otherness that researchers have long noted should be seen not only as visual figures of evil, but also as particular instances of the desire for varietas characteristic of medieval aesthetics in general
Applicability of polyamides in the sealing of oil products pipeline
Authors: Кузьмин Александр Алексеевич , Яблокова Марина Александровна , Пономаренко Евгений Анатольевич
Published: November 2023

Технологичность и экономичность полиамидных материалов обусловливают их широкое применение для герметизации нефтепродуктопроводов и иных емкостей с нефтепродуктами. Очевидной является актуальность их дальнейшего использования и наращивания объемов применимости. Цель настоящей работы - повышение эффективности использования изделий из полиамидов в уплотнительной технике и определение условий эксплуатации, где их применение наиболее целесообразно. Объектом рассмотрения являлся полиамид 6 блочный (капролон В), испытания прямой и обратной ползучести которого были проведены на испытательной машине ЦДМ-10 с использованием специального приспособления. Исследовано также влияние типичного нефтепродукта - керосина - на твердость и ползучесть капролона. Предельная температура эксплуатации уплотняющих изделий определена с использованием консистометра Хепплера на основе зависимости температуры стеклования от сжимающего напряжения. Нефтепродукты снижают твердость и жесткость полиамидов, однако это не мешает их применению в определенных условиях. Полиамид 6 целесообразно использовать в диапазоне удельных давлений от 10 до 50 МПа при температурах от -50 до +50 °С. Техническое обслуживание уплотнений с периодичностью, кратной скорости релаксации удельных давлений, способно повысить верхний предел допускаемых рабочих давлений на 30-40 %.

The manufacturability and cost-effectiveness of polyamide materials make them widely used for sealing pipelines filled with petroleum products. The aim of the work was to increase the efficiency of the use of polyamide products in sealing technology and to determine the operating conditions where their use is most appropriate. The object of the study was polyamide 6 blocked (caprolon B), the tests of forward and reverse creep of which were carried out on a CDM-10 testing machine using a special device. The influence of a typical kerosene oil product on the hardness and creep of caprolon has also been investigated. The maximum operating temperature of sealing products is determined using a Heppler consistometer based on the dependence of the glass transition temperature on the compressive stress. Petroleum products reduce the hardness and rigidity of polyamides, but this does not prevent their use in certain conditions. Polyamide 6 is advisable to use in the range of specific pressures from 10 to 50 MPa at temperatures from -50 to +50 °C. Maintenance of seals with a frequency multiple of the relaxation rate of specific pressures can increase the upper limit of permissible operating pressures by 30-40 %.

Coffee Husks produced from coffee processing are waste that can be used as raw material for making organic fertilizer. Utilizing coffee Husks as organic fertilizer can increase added value and farmers' income while reducing the smell from piles of coffee Husk waste, which can pollute the environment. Development efforts to overcome this problem include processing coffee Husk waste into compost. In this service activity, partners will be introduced to and trained in the technology for making quality compost fertilizer and managing coffee farming businesses to provide added value and improve the farmer's economy. This service aims to increase the added value (value added) of coffee Husk waste as organic fertilizer in the Windu Sari Farming Group. The problems found in farmer groups are the problem of piles of coffee husk waste, which have not been appropriately handled, and the problem of technology for making compost fertilizer, which has not been fully understood by partners, as well as farming business management problems related to group strengthening. The method used in community service in Batukaang Village is the Participatory Action and Learning System (PALS). This method aims to make the partner group an object in service activities through various forms such as education, training, counseling, as well as coaching and mentoring. The PALS method is implemented in several stages: (1) awareness phase, (2) capacity building phase, mentoring phase, and (3) institutionalization phase. The results obtained from this service program are in the form of a technology package for making compost fertilizer. From the service that has been carried out in the form of counseling, training, and the practice of making organic fertilizer compost, the response from the community, in this case, the Windu Sari Farmers Group, has been excellent. The participants' enthusiasm was seen from the many questions submitted to the service team regarding compost-making technology and its benefits for agriculture.

Malabar has been a deficit district in the matter of food even before the recent war. Rice, which is the staple food crop of the area, occupies 81% of the total extent and makes up 68% of the total normal output of the Madras State; and the district continues to depend on imported food grains. Within the district the southern zone grows 69 50% of the total area under paddy, while the Palghat taluk alone contributes 26.60% of the total production in the district. Vast stretches of fertile paddy lands exist in Palghat taluk in contiguous blocks. The soil is red loam in most parts, the rainfall is fairly well-distributed and the area is benefited by both the monsoons during normal years. The terrain is fairly plain in comparison with the rest of the district, and there is a well-knit system of roads touching all villages and the ryots are comparatively progressive and responsive to all major improvements. Owing to these natural advantages, all pioneering work on improvements recommended by the department, have been tried here.
Financial Aspects of the Madras Plan

Published: November 2023

Compared with the plans of other States, ours is the largest, that of Bombay coming next with Rs. 120 crores and the Uttar Pradesh coming third with Rs. 91 crores; but this fact does throw a proportionately heavier strain on our resources. The large bulk of our exponditure is on irrigation and power developement schemes (Rs. 80 crores) which would fetch to the exchequer a fair return on the sums invested. It would therefore be open to us to meet this portion of the expenditure, which is classified under the Capital head, from funds borrowed from the public to the extent open market operations are feasible during the five years. Even so, the sums ear-marked for the various welfare services, are beyond the present resources of the State and therefore resort will have to be had to additional taxation for implementing the plan in full.
The Present Food Position
Authors:   Secrotary  Food & Agriculture Department, R.M Sri SUNDARAM
Published: November 2023

The Madras State has always been deficit in food production.. In prewar years this deficit amounted to 5 lakhs of tons. It was made good by imports from other countries, particularly from Burma. The war and its aftermath created conditions making it difficult for the usual imports to flow into the country. Further, the population has been growing all these years at a rapid rate and Nature too has been very unkind during the past five years in succession. All these factors have accentuated the very difficult food position in this State. Thus controls in regard to food, viz., procurement and rationing which were originally adopted as war time measures have unfortunately come to stay with us for a longer period than was originally expected. We began these controls in a few districts in 1942-43 and later on extended them, as our situation grew worse, with the result that by 1946-47, the entire State was completely under control in the matter of procurement and rationing.
Manuring of Rice with Reference to Different Environmental Factors
Authors:   Paddy Specialist,Coimbatore, M. B. V NARASINGA RAO
Published: November 2023

There are no two opinions that one of the surest methods of increasing the yields of crop plants is to increase the capacity of the soil to supply nutrients to the plant by manuring. It has also been the experience that identical results are not obtained by identical methods practised. At the outset it may be stated that in the paragraphs that follow, no distinction is made between the words 'manures' and 'fertilizers'. Manures in this special sense mean substances belonging to plant residues while fertilizers imply those of mineral origin. It is not proposed to give any detailed recommendations about manuring, but certain basic principles based upon past experience at various Research Stations and the crop in general will be presented.
Green Manuring Semi-dry Paddy

Published: November 2023

In the districts of Chingleput, North Arcot and Chittoor, the bulk of the area under paddy is sown under semi-dry conditions. The sowing is done in July-August, usually by means of a gorru, after the onset of the South West monsoon. The crop makes slow progress with the limited soil moisture, but in a normal season the South- West monsoon showers are sufficient to maintain the stand of the crop in the early stages of growth. After the onset of the North-East monsoon when the tanks get filled, this, "semi-dry" paddy is irrigated from the tanks and thereafter the crop is treated in the same way as a wet crop of paddy. By this system of cultivation an early sowing of the crop is rendered possible, which otherwise would have to await the onset of the North-East monsoon. The one drawback in this system is the difficulty in applying green manure to the crop. The semi-dry area is usually manured with what little farm-yard manure is available, which does not exceed five cartloads per acre. Considering the large area under semi-dry paddy a practical method of green manuring the area has to be improvised. Several methods like ploughing in green manure brought from outside a month before sowing and at the time of sowing were tried. The results were not satisfactory, as the decay and disintegration of the green matter were not complete for want of the requisite moisture and when the green leaves were applied 30 days before sowing the undecomposed matter impeded ploughing and sowing operations. Sowing the green manure seeds along with paddy, pulling out and trampling in the green manure crop about two months after sowing when the crop was irrigated, however, gave better results. The following experiment was conducted from 1946-47 to test the efficacy of this method of green manuring semi-dry paddy.
Manuring of Rice in Malabar
Authors:   Agricultural Research Station Pattambi, Kerala., A ABDUL SAMAD , P.C SAHADEVA ,   Agricultural Research Station Pattambi, Kerala.
Published: November 2023

In Malabar, rice is cultivated on three classes of lands, those that lie irregularly along the ridges and slopes of low hills where dry paddy is raised; the terraced level type of lands that skirt the lower slopes where a single crop of swamp paddy is grown and the flat valleys that form the typical wetland paddy areas where two or three crops are raised in a year. The majority of the soils in Malabar are red loams of lateritic origin with varying proportions of clay and coarse sand. They are generally poor and are subject to constant depletion of finer fractions of the soil and soluble plant foods in the torrential rains during the South-West monsoon period, when 60-80 inches of rain are received within two months, june and july.

Favoured with an annual rainfall of over 150 inches and made up largely of hills and valleys, the district of South Kanara is a land of rivers and abundant vegetation. While the rainfall provides an assured supply of water for one crop in normal seasons, its distribution over a short period of four months from June to September, with downpours lasting sometimes for days at a stretch, causes an appall- ing amount of erosion with all its attendent evils, Year after year, the best part of the soil is washed away into the sea and valuable plant foods are lost by leaching. Under natural conditions, it is probable that the greater part of this erosion would have been effectively checked by nature's own mechanism. When one sees the sudden emergence of green pasture after the first showers in May-June, one is tempted to think that the pre-monsoon showers followed by a short break are intended by nature to prepare the ground to face the rigours of the monsoon. But cultivation practices as adopted by the average ryot pay scant regard to soil conservation practices, so that a serious situation is created in the agriculture of the district.

To maintain the food supply for an ever-increasing population, every endeavour will have to be made for conserving soil fertility. The productive power of soils is steadily reduced when successive crops are grown and no adequate manuring is made. The chief food crop in Madras, paddy, (occupying nearly 11 million acres in the State) removes from an acre of soil, 48 lb. of Nitrogen, 23 lb. of Phosphoric acid and 41 lb. of Potash. Nitrogen and Phosphoric acid are the two important elements that are required for paddy, as our soils are sufficiently rich in Potash. The main sources of manure for agricultural purpose is farm. yard manure, compost, green manures, "Patti mannu", and oil cakes. The availability of these manures to the area cropped is insufficient. To meet our immediate needs, the only way is to go in for chemical mannres -ammonium sulphate and superphophate - which supply the two main elements required for the paddy crop.
The Food Problem in Madras
Authors:   Agricultural Demonstrator Seothampeta, M.L NARAYANA REDDI
Published: November 2023

The problem of food is becoming a crisis day by day, engaging the best brains and the greatest men of the country. This inadequacy started in 1942-43 in the midst of war, due to sudden influx of evacuees from Burma and other States coupled with increased numbers of Military to be fed Inspite of all efforts by the State for increased production, by various concessions such as manures, seeds, mechanical and electrical power and land with irrigation projects and improvements for increased water supply, this deficit is still not made up. The reasons quoted are the failure of crops by excess or shortage of rains, and adverse seasonal effects, but there should also be some underlying root-cause that contributes to this crisis.

The importance of plant introduction to the progress of mankind cannot be over-emphasised. The introduction of groundnut into India is an example of such an introduction. Though a crop of recent introduction, it has come to occupy an important place among the agricultural crops in most of the Indian provinces and States. The expansion of the area under this crop has been particularly marked in Madras. The great popularity of the crop can be ascribed to the ease with which it can be raised under varying conditions of soil and climate, the easy marketability of the produce and the attractive money return obtained from it. Its importance as a rotation crop with good soil-recuperative value and as an efficient cover against soil erosion and good forage for cattle are all points which are appreciated by ryots in many districts and are factors for the great increase in the area of the crop.
Use of Cut Sets and Whole Seed for Planting Potato

Published: November 2023

The use of cut sets, i.e., seed tubers cut into two or three bits according to size, for planting the crop, has been common since the early days of the introduction of the potato as a cultivable food crop. The earliest record of this dates back to the year 1834 when Lindley (8) reported the development of seedlings even from mere potato peelings. While a good amount of work on the use of cut sets has been done in the important potato growing countries, analysis of the data of the various workers reveals the difficulty of forming a definite conclusion of the superiority or otherwise of the whole seed over the cut set, since the yield from both these kinds of seed material seems to be conditioned by the nature of the soil, climate, facilities for irrigation, the variety used, size of the whole seed or out set and possibly other factors. During the years 1938 to 1941 trials were conducted at this station using whole seed and two kinds of cut sets viz., (1) tubers cut transversely with crown ends and heel ends. The findings of these earlier investigations, in relation to the more recent experiments conducted during the two years 1949 '50 and 1950-'51 reported in this paper, are discussed under the head Experimental Data and Results. The trials were concluded in 1951.

A avaliação da qualidade educacional é um processo crucial para garantir que as instituições de ensino, os sistemas educacionais e os programas de estudo atendam aos padrões e às necessidades de aprendizagem dos alunos. Ela permite que educadores, gestores, políticos e outros envolvidos na área da educação compreendam o desempenho das escolas e implementem melhorias quando necessária. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo tem como objetivo preponderante elucidar elementos constitutivos fundamentais da avaliação na busca pela qualidade educacional. Para a consecução do mencionado objetivo foram problematizados e analisados os conceitos, situações, condições e conexões inerentes aos paradigmas da avaliação e qualidade locacional a partir de processo sistemático de revisão da literatura sobre a temática, anteriormente evidenciada. Quanto aos resultados, verificou-se que as categorias avaliação e qualidade educacional, se conectam, dialogam, são interdependentes, de uma vez que, sem a realização de processos sistematizados real democrático com rigor científico de avaliação, é inviável a construção de horizontes ou caminhos que conduzam a qualidade educacional.
Retos anestésicos en paciente con síndrome de plaqueta gris para cirugía cardíaca.

Published: November 2023

El Síndrome de plaqueta gris es una enfermedad muy infrecuente (<1:1000000) y poco conocida. No existen protocolos de actuación y el manejo se basa en los escasos casos clínicos reportados. La trasfusión de hemoderivados, los antifibrinolíticos como el ácido tranexámico y la desmopresina han demostrado ser fármacos útiles para el control de la hemorragia. Las intervenciones quirúrgicas en pacientes con Síndrome de Plaqueta gris suponen un reto anestésico-quirúrgico debido a las escasas experiencias previas y al alto riesgo hemorrágico.
Fratrias e intimidade(s): Coabitação e práticas familiares na construção das relações entre irmãs e irmãos
Authors:   Faculdade de Economia e Centro de Estudos Sociais da Universidade de Coimbra., Barbas Andreia
Published: November 2023

O artigo explora a forma como se constrói e se representa a intimidade nas relações entre irmãs e irmãos, estabelecendo a coabitação e as práticas familiares como potenciadoras desta conexão. Com base em 68 entrevistas realizadas com recurso à foto-elicitação que reúnem 25 fratrias, das quais 9 recompostas e 16 nucleares, procurou-se compreender o que origina relações fraternais mais íntimas, mais próximas, mais familiares. Os dados mostram que a intimidade não é inata ao parentesco, mas sim criada, reproduzida e sustentada no quotidiano, através do tempo — nas trajetórias individuais e familiares — e perpassada no espaço — sobretudo, na fase da coabitação. Interpelar a intimidade nesta heterogeneidade permitiu: i) retratar diferentes níveis de intimidade e renunciar à idealização e uniformidade deste objeto; ii) tornar vísivel que estas relações não se estabelecem a partir do laço sanguíneo, e que precisam de outros elementos para serem consolidadas, reforçadas e (re)confirmadas.

Published: November 2023

The escalating occurrence of severe climatic events over the past decade, with a projection for further intensification due to the climate emergency, underscores the critical role of urban and regional planning in climate action towards just cities. Municipalities and regions are both significant contributors to CO2 emissions and are vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change. This paper contends that urban and regional planning must undergo a paradigm shift to address this challenge. Climate justice, encompassing dimensions of inequality and environmental equity, is a pivotal dialogue in these contexts. Through a comprehensive review, this study contributes to the evolving landscape of climate justice planning and policy, offering insights that could resonate across the Global South and beyond. As an illustrative case, the authors delve into Brazil’s climate challenges, discussing adaptation planning and post-disaster response, and emphasizing the need for localized and community-driven initiatives. This article delves into the interplay between Loss and Damage, adaptation, and just cities, with a focus on the Global South. The authors scrutinize the emerging discourse on Loss and Damage, its associations with climate impacts, and the quest for a just and equitable approach. The work advances the understanding of the distinction between adaptation and Loss and Damage actions, highlighting the significance of a dedicated fund for addressing Loss and Damage in vulnerable countries.
ANALISIS PERBANDINGAN RISK DAN RETURN SAHAM SYARIAH DAN KONVENSIONAL PADA JAKARTA ISLAMIC INDEX (JII30) DAN INDEKS LQ45 PERIODE TAHUN 2020-2022
Authors: Mustafidah Wiwit , Abdul Khakim
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to find out the difference in the average Return and Risk of Islamic stocks on the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) and conventional stocks on LQ45 in the period 2020 to 2022 from the website www.idx.co.id. The results of the descriptive analysis show that the returns on Islamic stocks are higher than conventional stocks (0.0095350 > 0.0046987 or 0.95% > 0.46%). Meanwhile, the risk level is higher for sharia stocks than conventional stocks, namely 0.1072991 > 0.1019323 or 10.72% > 10.19%. Based on the results of the different test using the Independent Sample t-test, it was found that the Equal Variance Assumed assumption can be identified as the Sig. (2-tailed) > ? value with a significance value of 0.737> 0.05, while the assumption of Equal Variances Assumed Return value Sig. (2-tailed) > ? value with a significance value of 0.607> 0.05. From these data it can be concluded that the results of the significance of risk and stock returns show a significance value that is greater than the significance level ? = 5% (0.05) so that it can be interpreted that there is no significant difference between the Return and Risk of Islamic stocks and conventional stocks.
