A Wooden comb from the excavations of medieval Pinsk: an experience of comprehensive research
Authors: Nekliudova T. A.
Published: October 2023

The article introduces into scientific circulation a wooden comb from the excavations of medieval Pinsk. This comb was discovered in 1963 during the archaeological research under the leadership of P. F. Lysenko on the territory of the fortified part adjacent to the Pinsk stronghold. A feature of the comb is its linear-circular ornamentation, supplemented with a pigment of dark red colour. In order to study by non-destructive methods the pigment contained inside the elements of the circular ornament of the comb, as well as the macrostructure of the wood of the comb, the object was studied using a video spectral comparator Regula 4305D in infrared and ultraviolet light. Based on the study of the degree of penetration of infrared rays and the absence of luminescence in ultraviolet light, it was established that cinnabar could be used as a pigment. The study of the macrostructure and preservation of the wood of the comb allows us to say that it was made of boxwood. Taking into account the analogies found in the materials from the excavations of Novgorod, as well as items from the collections of world museums, the comb can be dated no earlier than the 15th century. Most likely, this comb was an object of import. The need for a more thorough primary processing of archaeological materials in the field in order to detect possible traces of paint on objects made of organic materials is noted.

Indonesia memiliki tantangan dalam mempertahankan lahan pertanian dan mencukupi kebutuhan pangan masyarakatnya di tengah tekanan urbanisasi. Pertambahan jumlah penduduk yang cepat mendorong kebutuhan permukiman dan fasilitas lainnya juga bertambah. Pertanian merupakan sektor yang paling rentan beralih fungsi disaat menghadapi perkembangan wilayah. Nilai ekonomi pertanian yang rendah dan berisiko tinggi merupakan salah satu penyebabnya dan umumnya kalah bersaing dengan sektor lainnya. Nilai ekonomi tanaman padi lebih rendah dibandingkan tanaman pertanian lainnya, namun menjadi kebutuhan pertanian utama di Indonesia yang masyarakatnya sebagian besar mengkonsumsi beras. Petani padi memerlukan dukungan berbagai pihak untuk tetap menjalankan aktivitasnya di sektor pertanian. Peran kebijakan menjadi sentral dalam melindungi dan memastikan keberlanjutan pertanian padi. Rekomendasi yang perlu dilakukan antara lain: peningkatan kesejahteraan petani melalui berbagai skema (tidak hanya insentif), peningkatan koordinasi antar pihak dari pusat sampai lokal, pelibatan pemerintah desa dalam program atau kebijakan pertanian, dan meningkatkan fasilitas-pelayanan di sekitar wilayah pertanian.

Data menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar konsentrasi PM2.5 dan PM10 telah melebihi standar rata-rata tahunan dari peraturan Indonesia dan Standar WHO. Pencemaran udara menimbulkan dampak negatif pada aspek kesehatan dan kerugian ekonomi. Kebijakan berbasis instrumen ekonomi lingkungan terbukti dapat memberikan penurunan pencemaran di beberapa negara. Indonesia telah mendesain dan menerapkan kebijakan namun perlu beberapa penyempurnaan. Pemerintah Indonesia dapat melakukan penyempurnaan kebijakan berbasis instrumen ekonomi dalam rangka menyelesaikan permasalahan pencemaran udara dengan penerapan insentif trade-in, penerapan pajak karbon dan pasar karbon nasional, serta insentif penerapan teknologi ramah lingkungan bagi PLTU. Pemerintah pusat dan daerah juga perlu memperhatikan resistensi pelaku ekonomi terhadap penerapan kebijakan, kurangnya pengetahuan tentang kerusakan yang terjadi dalam bentuk moneter, kebutuhan untuk mempertahankan status quo dalam masyarakat, “kesenjangan peraturan” antara teoretis dari pajak dan kesulitan praktis dalam legislasi dan implementasi serta ketakutan akan kemungkinan hilangnya efisiensi atau daya saing produk yang dihasilkan oleh perusahaan/produsen

Lebah merupakan penyerbuk dominan dan paling efektif dalam pertanian. Lebah menyerbuki hampir 90% tanaman pangan secara global. Keberadaan lebah ini harus dijaga dalam rangka menjaga ketersediaan pangan. Namun, keberadaan lebah di Indonesia saat ini mengalami berbagai permasalahan yang menyebabkan kematian sehingga menyebabkan penurunan populasi lebah. Kematian lebah di Indonesia disebabkan oleh berbagai hal seperti perubahan iklim, kurangnya jumlah dan keberagaman sumber pakan, aplikasi pestisida yang kurang bijaksana, serangan hama maupun penyakit pada lebah, serta perubahan atau alih fungsi lahan. Rumusan rekomendasi yang disajikan berfokus pada upaya konservasi dan melestarikan lebah melalui penanggulangan perubahan lahan. Perubahan lahan dari hutan menjadi perkebunan dan pertanian monokultur menyebabkan sumber pakan dan rumah bagi lebah menghilang. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan rekomendasi yang dapat memulihkan habitat lebah tersebut.

Beaucarnea hookeri, es una especie endémica de México y está catalogada como amenazada en la NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010. Con la finalidad de micropropagar esta especie, se estableció un experimento en el Campus Montecillo, Colegio de Posgraduados en 2022, donde se evaluó la respuesta de los brotes durante la multiplicación in vitro con diferentes concentraciones de bencilaminopurina (BAP) y su capacidad de enraizamiento ex vitro durante su aclimatización. Se estableció un experimento con tres subcultivos subsecuentes (SC3, SC4, SC4-1), en SC3 se utilizaron brotes generados con 0.5 mg L-1 de BAP (SC2), en SC4 brotes sanos generados del SC3 y SC4-1 con brotes del SC3, pero, con hiperhidratación inicial (HHI). En el SC3 se evaluaron 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 mg L-1 de BAP. En el SC4 0 y 0.5 mg L-1 BAP y en SC4-1 concentraciones de 0, 0.5 y 1 mg L-1 de BAP. Durante la aclimatización se evaluaron cuatro tratamientos de Radix® 10 000 (0, 1 000, 2 000 y 4 000 mg kg-1) y se utilizaron brotes del SC2. Durante la multiplicación se registró el número de brotes (NB) y el SC3 generó 6.35 brotes con la concentración 1.5 mg L-1 BAP, con presencia de HHI. En el SC4 se obtuvo 9.7 brotes en promedio y en SC4.1, 5.3 brotes, ambos subcultivos con 0.5 mg L-1 de BAP. Además, en el SC4-1 hubo recuperación de HHI. En el enraizamiento no existieron diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos y el testigo a 80 días del trasplante generó 73.3% de brotes con raíz (SBR). Únicamente los brotes del tratamiento testigo en multiplicación presentaron raíces lo que permite obtener plantas completas en 30 días.

Treatment of seeds for the control of sced-borne diseases dates back to about two centuries. Several chemical seed dressings have been in vogue since. With the development of organo-mercurials by Riehm (1913) these came to be widely used against several seed-borne diseases below... Seed treatment can also be used against seed spoilage organisms. In the comparative evaluation of the efficacy of seed dressing chemicals, it is necessary to apply the chemicals uniformly and evenly to the seed surface. The evenness and uniformity of deposition on them could be evaluated by the bioassay techniques such as that of Mead (1945) with some modifications as described below.
A critical approach for intensive cultivation of groundnut in Madras State
Authors:   Oilseed Development Officer, Coimbatore 3, B SRINIVASA RAO
Published: October 2023

An increased production of groundnut is possible by extensive and intensive cultivation practices. Extensive cultivation has limited scope in this State since all the available cultivable lands have already been brought under cultivation and the possibility of any more addition to the cultivated area is remote. Further, diversion from other crops to groundnut is also not desirable since at present all the major agricultural commodities are either self-sufficient or in short supply. So by such diversions to groundnut, the production of other agricultural commodities will be affected which will again create new problems. So, the only possibility of increasing production is by intensive cultivation and thereby increasing the acre yield.

Most of the soils of Madras State are in an immature and virile state of development due to constant surface erosion exposing the lower horizon to the weathering forces. The erosive action is, generally, aided in many regions by a hummocky or undulating topography. The hummocky topography modifies the pattern and the extent of drainage in different sections of the slope. The difference in drainage conditions results in variation of profile characteristics. These soils, though different in the genetic and morphological features are similar in that they occur in situations of similar topography. Such physiographic association of soils is designated as catena (Milne, 1935a).

The use of D-Mannitol, sugar and other salt solutions to test drought hardiness is a simple, easily repeated test which gives a relative measure of any differences among varieties for this character. This consists of germination of seeds in various osmotic solutions and the assumption involved is that if a seed can germinate by absorbing water against a high osmotic gradient, the resulting plant could also absorb water better on account of its high osmotic pressure. The present study consists of experiments that were conducted to determine the influence of simulated drought on the germination of six grain Sorghum varieties in osmotic solutions with a view to evaluate them for drought resistance.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Real-time variations in brain activity are determined by electroencephalogram (EEG) data. EEG signals are commonly used in studies to analyze human emotional states. Emotions EEG signals vary from person to person because they each have different emotional responses to the same stimuli. The objective of this study was using EEG signals in emotion recognition.Material and Methods: We specifically focused on employing convolutional neural network (CNN) for detecting image-based emotions in long-term EEG data. After filtering, the EEG data is divided into short sections based on a certain time window and they are converted into EEG plot images. Each of these is classified by convolutional neural networks.Results: In comparison with the existing methods, the error rate has been reduced and the accuracy rate is better than the existing methods. The mean accuracy of the compared articles is 62.87, 70.50, 74.88, 82.88 and 68.11, but the average accuracy of the proposed method is 85.13.Conclusion: This research demonstrates the potential and accuracy of CNN in recognizing emotions from scalp EEG plot images. The study contributes to the growing field of emotion recognition and paves the way for future advancements in utilizing CNN for analyzing EEG signals, ultimately aiming to use as an effective method for computer-aided recognition.

Türkiye ile Rusya ilişkileri 2011 yılında Suriye’de başlayan iç karışıklıklar sonrası inişli çıkışlı bir seyir izlemeye başlamıştır. Suriye’deki iç savaşın başlaması, iki ülkenin farklı pozisyonlar almasına ve zaman zaman çatışmaya dönüşen krizler yaşamasına neden olmuştur. Türkiye, Esad rejimine karşı muhalif grupları destekleyerek Rusya’nın Suriye’ye müdahalesine karşı çıkmış, Rusya ise Suriye hükümetine destek vererek Esad rejimini korumaya çalışmıştır. Bölgesel ve küresel güç denkleminin önemli iki aktöründen olan Rusya ve Türkiye’nin Suriye politikaları, sorunun çözümü açısından kritik önem taşımaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı Rusya ve Türkiye’nin Suriye’ye bakış açılarının her iki ülkenin dış politika tutumları üzerinden analiz edilmesidir. Çalışmada öncelikle Suriye krizinin ortaya çıkışı ele alınmıştır. Ardından Rusya ve Türkiye’nin Suriye politikaları ve Suriye’deki varlık nedenleri dış politika tutumları üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. Son olarak her iki aktörün izledikleri Suriye politikaları nedeniyle yaşadıkları krizler ile iş birliği alanları ele alınmıştır. Her iki ülkenin karşılıklı bağımlılığının artması durumunda Suriye özelinde iki ülke arasında yaşanan krizlerin çözülebileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Cyberattack has its effect on businesses and private systems every day and it has risen tremendously. Port scanning is the first step taken by attackers before an attack is deployed. It is employed to identify the targeted host’s IP addresses, network devices and services running which later be used to determine the server locations and diagnose security levels of the victim by revealing the presence of security measures in place such as firewall between the server and the network devices. There have been several papers presenting the performance of port scanning techniques. However, the impact on host's performance has not yet been done. In this research, a comparative study of port scanning techniques is proposed to evaluate their impact on the scanned hosts performance using Zabbix. The goal of this research is to identify the difference of port scanning techniques and their strategies in probing the targeted host. Three scanning techniques are compared namely TCP SYN, TCP Connect and UDP scan. Several experiments have been conducted using NMAP, Unicornscan, Netcat, Apache2 web server and Zabbix running in virtual machine (VM) environment. Of the three port scanning techniques, TCP SYN scan has the least impact on the targeted scanned host with average response time of 0.69ms for a single scan and 0.421ms for 100 scans. UDP scan has the most impact on the targeted scanned host with average response time of 10.84ms for a single scan and 6.71ms for 100 scans.

One of the challenges of technical education in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria, is the lack of an appropriate entrepreneurial framework for the content of the technical college curriculum. The purpose of this study was to explore the managerial entrepreneurial competencies for technical college programs in Nigeria. This study was guided by a qualitative approach through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with 15 participants selected purposively and 11 Journal Articles were analysed. The empirical findings from semi-structured interviews confirm the theoretical findings in document analysis. This study found several managerial entrepreneurial competencies in document analysis and interviews, eventually analysed thematically. Themes include Business planning, Decision-making, Technical know-how, Interpersonal relationships and Communication. The study analysed only 11 documents and conducted 15 interviews, so the conclusions drawn from these sources depend on the authenticity of the information provided by the participants. The findings of the study indicate that managerial entrepreneurial competencies are worthy of inclusion in the technical college curriculum in Nigeria. Therefore, it is recommended that the curriculum needs to be reviewed to ensure that it meets the educational changes such as global trends and 21st-century education policies which now become a worldwide phenomenon.

Teacher readiness is necessary in the teaching and learning process, especially when a new curriculum is introduced. This study was conducted to identify the factors that influence the readiness of teachers in teaching Design and Technology (RBT) in the new Primary School Standard Curriculum (KSSR). The factors studied included self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, ICT skills, and support training, which were the independent variables, and teacher readiness was the dependent variable. This descriptive quantitative survey involved 368 RBT teachers teaching Year 4 KSSR students in Peninsular Malaysia. Cluster and simple random sampling were used to select the sample of this study. The research instrument consisted of a set of questionnaires that contained 114 items adapted from previous research. A pilot study was conducted with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.95. Study data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results of the study show that the overall mean for teachers’ readiness in teaching RBT is high. The findings showed that the overall mean for the aspect of reasoning knowledge was 3.82 (SP = .57) and SBA skills were 3.92 (SP = .58). Findings give the impression that the respondents have high reasoning knowledge and PBS skills. It was also found that the mean value for the aspect of SBA skills is higher than the reasoning knowledge. The regression analysis results show that all four factors significantly contribute to teacher readiness at 40.4 %. In conclusion, the findings of this study give the impression that the factors influencing teacher readiness are important in the formulation of a new curriculum. This study provides guidance to policy makers and curriculum planners especially for Ministry of Education Malaysia (KPM) on the aspect of teacher readiness when introducing new subjects.

The development of graduates’ employability skills has become one of crucial agenda in today’s educational milieu. One if the strategies is my adding the soft skills components in teaching and learning delivery across curriculum. This agenda includes Technical and Vocational and Education and Training (TVET) academic program which now has become the forefront agenda to spearhead the local skilled workforce for the nation. The research employed a quantitative descriptive and cross-sectional study among vocational college students from diploma programs across field of studies to combat numerous issues related to graduates’ preparedness on entering workforce, particularly on lack of employability skills. The employability skills section of the instrument was adapted from Grant, Malloy, and Murphy (2009) and Sarigoz (2012). The CD-SEI (Career Development Self-Efficacy Inventory) was replicated from Yuen et al. (2005) as dependent variable. Findings related to employability skills were indicated at a moderate level. The self-efficacy for career development was moderately high. Students' self-efficacy for career development was not significantly influenced by the demographic variables of gender or academic success. Additionally, the results indicated that vocational college students have higher cognitive skills which significantly predicted the career development self-efficacy. The results of this study can be capitalized as guidelines to carry out a curriculum that is more industrially driven, contributing the exposure to industrial experiences as self-efficacy and employability skills values before venturing job market.
