Published: March 2023

Na sua famosa conferência “Sobre o Infinito”, David Hilbert defende a teoria dos números transfinitos de Cantor das duras críticas que sofre e afirma que tal teoria lhe parece “o mais refinado produto do gênio matemático”. Entretanto, ele também afirma que não há razão alguma, a partir das teorias físicas do universo, para se acreditar que exista alguma coisa no mundo que corresponda a uma coleção infinita. Pretendemos mostrar como Hilbert justifica a utilização do conceito de infinito atual a partir de uma epistemologia estritamente finistista, bem como, apontar as implicações ontológicas e epistemológicas do chamado “Programa de Hilbert” no que diz respeito ao infinito enquanto objeto matemático, o que está inserido numa questão maior, que é a busca da fundamentação da matemática.

The defects on a leather surface may be caused by the poor material handling process during the production and manufacturing stages. It is essential to eliminate the natural variations and artificial injuries on the leather surfaces, in order to control the quality of the products and achieve customer satisfaction. To date, the visual inspection of the leather defects is performed manually by human operators. Thus, this study aims to introduce an automatic defect detection technique by employing a deep learning method. Specifically, the proposed method consists of two stages: classification and instance segmentation. The former stage distinguishes whether the piece of the leather sample contains a defective part or not, whereas the latter is to localize the precise defective location. To accomplish the tasks, the dataset is first collected under a proper laboratory environment. The purpose of this self study is to use the image processing to perform some operations on an image, in order to get an enhanced image or to extract some useful information from it. It is a type of signal processing in which input is an image and output may be image or characteristics/features associated with that image.

Published: March 2023

This study was carried out to investigate resource use efficiency in groundnut production and to identify and analyze groundnut production and marketing constraints in district Attock. This study was based on the primary data of 150 groundnut growers for the year 2021-22. The Cobb-Douglas production function has been carried out in the functional analysis and resource use efficiency has been used to measure the productivity of resources used in groundnut production. The results of the Cobb-Douglas production function analysis revealed that there are 64.6 percent variations in Groundnut yield collectively explained by all eight independent variables. The model obtained an F-value of 32.145, which was highly significant. The results of resource use efficiency revealed that the ratio of MVP to MFC was less than 1 for human labor X1, machinery power X2, transportation X4, manures X5, and fertilizer X6. The ratio of MVP to MFC for farm X3 was greater than 1 which shows the under-utilization of resources. The significant constraints of the production and marketing of groundnut are lack of adaptability of improved varieties, climate change, high input cost, no support price mechanism, limited markets, and lack of processing units, etc. On the basis of the results, the study recommends using an optimum level of inputs and using improved technology, and HYVs. Initiatives should be taken to raise the area of groundnut crops, and plant processing units and assure better support price mechanisms to achieve maximum productivity.

Authors: Öztürk Musa
Published: March 2023

Muhammed Hâdi Ma‘rifet, modern dönem tefsir tarihi edebiyatının en önemli simalarından birisidir. Tefsir tarihine dair telif etmiş olduğu eseri, birçok çalışmaya kaynaklık etme potansiyeline sahiptir. Bu çalışmada müellifin et-Tefsîr ve’l-müfessirûn fî sevbihi’l-kaşîb adlı eserini farklı yönleriyle tanıtmak ve bu eser çerçevesinde Şîa’nın tefsir tarihine bakışını ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Ma‘rifet, et-Tefsîr ve’l-müfessirûn fî sevbihi’l-kaşîb adlı eserini, M. Hüseyin ez-Zehebî’nin et-Tefsîr ve’l-müfessirûn adlı eserinde Şiî tefsirler ve müfessirlerle ilgili verdiği yanlış bilgileri düzeltmek ve eserdeki eksiklikleri tamamlamak için telif etmiştir. Bundan dolayı müelliflerin kitapları bazı açılardan mukayese edilmiştir. Tespit edildiği üzere Ma‘rifet, tefsir faaliyetlerini altı merhalede ele almıştır. Tefsirin günümüze kadar geçirdiği merhalelere dair bilgiler verdikten sonra farklı mezheplere mensup müfessirlerin tedvin ettiği birçok tefsiri Şiî pen-cereden tanıtmış ve özellikle Farsça ve Şiî tefsirlere dair önemli bilgiler nakletmiştir. Bazı tefsirlerin tanıtımına ise gerekli ihtimamı göstermemiştir. Tefsirlerin tanıtımında zengin bir tasnif sistemi benimsemiştir. Ele aldığı konularda Ehl-i sünnet ve Şîa’nın temel kaynaklarını yoğun olarak kullanmıştır. Zehebî’yi yer yer tenkit etmekle beraber özellikle tefsirlerin tanıtımında kendis-inden çokça istifade etmiş, bazı tefsir ve müfessirleri tanıtırken mezhebî kaygılarla hareket etmiş fakat ele aldığı meselelerde mutaassıp davranmamıştır.
Kurtubî’nin Morfolojik Temelli Anlam Arayışı
Authors: Erken İsmail
Published: March 2023

Arapça bir terim olarak sarf, morfoloji (biçimbilim); bir ana yapıdan, anlam açısından ve ifade edilmek istenen şeye uygun dönüşümler veya eklemeler ile yeni bir şekilde ya da aynı şekilde bir yapı oluşturma ve bu şekilde oluşmuş lâfızları inceleme ilmidir. Anlaşılma hedefiyle Arapça vahyedilen Kur’an, Arap dil bilimlerinin ve sarfın da konuları arasında yer alır. Müfessirler, Kur’an’ı tefsir ederken morfoloji biliminden de çokça yararlanmışlardır. Ebû Abdillâh Muhammed b. Ahmed el-Kurtubî (öl. 671/1273) el-Câmi‘ lî Ahkâmi’l-Kur’ân tefsirinde biçimbilime anlama ve anlatma çabası içinde yer vermiştir. Tefsirin en belirgin özelliklerinden biri âyetin açıklamasında öncelikle -morfoloji de dahil olmak üzere- filolojik açıklamaların yer almasıdır. Kurtubî âyet içerisinde geçen sözcüklerin yapısal analizlerini yaparak onlar hakkında morfolojik bilgiler vermiştir ve biçim açısından ayrıntı ve istisna olan konuları işlemiştir. Ayrıca müfessir sözcüklerin morfolojik durumlarını göz önünde bulundurarak, o sözcüklerin ifade ettikleri manaları anlaşılır kılmaya çalışmıştır. Bununla beraber araştırma sırasında üzerinde durulması gereken bir konu da Kurtubî’nin sarf kurallarından hareket ederek bu kurallar ile meydana gelmeyecek anlamlara ulaşmasıdır. Müfessirin bu uygulamaları lafzın özelliği, okuyuş farklılıkları, sözcüğün bulunduğu bağlam, zaidlik, hazf vb. durumlarında gerçekleştirdiği dikkat çekmektedir. Çalışmada, Kurtubî’nin âyetleri anlama ve anlatma sürecinde verdiği bilgiler gözden geçirilir ve onun morfolojinin konuları arasında yer alan tekil-ikil-çoğul, erillik-dişillik, belirlilik-belirsizlikle alakalı yaptığı yorumlar esas alınarak çalışma sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu üç konuda tefsirde okumalar yapılmış, konularla ilgili örnekler üzerinden konu işlenmiş ve oluşan duruma dair açıklama, değerlendirme ve varsayımlarda bulunulmuştur. Makalede örneklemler farklı açılardan ve tafsilatlı incelenerek özellikle manaya odaklanan bir minvalde konu aktarılmıştır.

Published: March 2023

For more than 2,000 years, Philosophers and scientists have been trying to find answers to how humans think intelligently. Artificial intelligence is a field of study that creates machines that mimic human intelligence, to this end, it is important to accurately grasp the mechanism of human intelligent thinking using scientific techniques. In the midst of such a process, the process of human learning ability, problem solving ability, ability to process very large amounts of changing and complex information and data, and reasoning ability has been partially identified. And, based on this information, research in cognitive science is developing around four aspects: Thinking Humanly, Thinking Rationally, Acting Humanly, and Acting Rationally.
Research on artificial intelligence has converged into the field of legal artificial intelligence research from the perspective of research on human rationality and thinking and making decisions like humans. Furthermore, a field called Legaltech was formed. As such, as legal artificial intelligence research shows a movement to form an industrial area called Legaltech, a reaction in the existing legal area is also visible. One is the level of legal fairness regarding the use of legaltech technology, and the other is legal issues from the perspective that legaltech technology virtually replaces the work of lawyers.
In this study, the current status of artificial intelligence and legal tech is examined in II, and the legal issues of the legaltech service and the 2021헌마 619 Constitutional Court decision are analyzed in III. Finally, in IV, the meaning and importance of rent seeking restrictions for Legaltech will be examined, and solutions to the legal issues will be sought.

Authors:   Korea Public Choice Association, Ju Eun-hye
Published: March 2023

The performance of publicness pursued by public institutions is difficult to present simply and clearly with a profit and loss statement such as the ‘bottom line’ used by private companies. Nevertheless, the current performance evaluation system of public institutions does not fully consider the characteristics of public projects and policies. Critical discussions are being raised in that it focuses only on the measurement of profitability creation based on short-term performance.
Accordingly, this study conducted a meta-evaluation of the overall management evaluation system by applying the perspective of public value management to achieve the mission of creating public value, which is the essential purpose of the establishment and operation of public institutions. An overall review was conducted in terms of the content of public value management. The purpose of evaluation, subject of evaluation, management capacity, governance, performance, and implications for the direction of supplementation were drawn.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES AFFECTING THE HYDRAULICS OF AUTOMATIC SIPHONS FOR VERTICALLY FLOWING FILTERS
Authors: Chaloupka Ondrej , Kriska - Dunajsky Michal
Published: March 2023

In recent years, natural wastewater treatment wetland plants have been gaining more attention from researchers and the public due to their low operating costs and efficient way of treating wastewater. Treatment wetland plants with pulse-fed vertical flow filters are one of the most efficient treatment technologies. For optimum operation, intermittent loading of wastewater onto the filter surface is necessary, for which various types of automatic siphons can be used in addition to pumps. This kind of automatic siphons do not require electricity for their operation. The aim of the actual measurements was to specify the hydraulic characteristics of four different types of automatic siphons used in France, Germany, and the Czech Republic. In the course of the laboratory measurements, it was possible to define the basic hydraulic characteristics of the different technical solutions - e.g. maximum water flow, starting and shut-off water level, emptying rate and discharge flow. The measured values then lead to the determination of the total hydraulic losses of the device, while the limits and nature of the individual solutions are shown in comparison with each other. The results can be used for the design of the downstream hydraulic system of the distribution piping that is spread over the filter surface.
INCREASING THE IMPACT OF OPEN DATA THROUGH VISUALISATION: CARTOGRAPHIC VISUALISATION OF OCEAN DATA
Authors: Miletic Andrea , Divjak Ana Kuvezdic , Kevic Karlo
Published: March 2023

Many national and international agencies and organizations collect and provide open access to data on parts of the Earth's surface covered by water. Data on ocean temperature and acidity, precipitation, river flows, lake, sea, and groundwater levels, and many other open data sets allow researchers to monitor and observe water at different scales and time frames, and to better understand ecological processes and human impacts on the water environment.
The main challenge in analyzing the vast amount of openly available data on seas, oceans, and other parts of the Earth's surface covered by water is their heterogeneity and the complexity of dynamic processes, which can be highly variable both spatially and temporally. Effective visualization of such data on a map can help in the effort to make mutual relationships obvious, to recognize the impacts of different actions, and model and evaluate tradeoffs among possible solutions.
This paper explores the options available to cartographers for designing various thematic representations of data related to the water-covered portions of the Earth's surface. Using a set of openly available data, we demonstrate how choice of map projection, color schema type, and color palette can influence the transfer of information related to ocean health. In this process we examine the role of cartography in designing various thematic representations of data related to parts of the Earth's surface covered by water.

The oversupply of water during the floods and the low soil surface levels determine the difficult ecological, economic, and demographic conditions. It then leads to using agricultural land of different types and intensities and various methods of regulating the water regime: summer polders. Human activity has significantly impacted the ecological processes of the floodplains of the Svete floodplain with extensive amelioration works that have significantly altered the appearance of a natural park. The total area of the natural park Svete floodplain is 931 ha. The Valgunde summer one polder channel is the regulated tributary of the right coast of Lielupe and Mellupite, partly part of the nature park's Svete floodplain nature-barred area. During summer, the polder areas are flooded during high water levels of Lielupe. Still, during the summer, they must adjust the optimum humidity regime and ensure drainage systems, including drainage operation or to regulate the humidity regime in the floodplain, to preserve and restore the habitats of wetlands flood meadows and populations of native wild plants and animal species, also to ensure the use of agricultural land, reconstruction works have been carried out at the same time. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of rebuilding works on the hydrological regime of the Natura2000 site. In August 2021, 12 groundwater level monitoring points were established. At the monitoring point, 2 m deep pipes were installed in a 50 mm diameter, with a perforated lower part. Ejkelkamp Micro-Diver was inserted into the pipes, which records water levels every hour. Oneyear observation data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Kruskal � Wallis. During the winter period, the polder flooded and drained systems for 65 days in the drained area and 156 days in the Natura2000 area.
SEAGRASS MAPPING USING SENTINEL-2 IMAGERY AND REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES: A CASE STUDY FROM CROATIA
Authors: Gasparovic Mateo , Dapo Almin , Pribicevic Bosko
Published: March 2023

Nowadays, remote sensing techniques play an important role in the rapid acquisition of a large amount of spatial environmental data. The development of sensors in the last decade has led to the development of Earth observation satellite missions, e.g., Sentinel, PlanetScope. Numerous machine learning and deep learning methods are used in nowadays research to classify satellite imagery to enable rapid environmental mapping (e.g., land cover and land use, water bodies). Posidonia oceanica is considered the most important and best-studied seagrass species in the Mediterranean Sea. The objective of this preliminary research is to test the applicability of machine learning image classification methods for rapid seagrass mapping based on Sentinel-2 imagery. The research was conducted in the study area located in the north part of Dugi Otok in the central Adriatic in Croatia. Accuracy assessment of the mapped seagrass emphasises that Cart, Random Forest (RF), and Support vector machine (SVM) overperformed Naive Bayes (NB) method. Further, detailed visual analysis of seagrass map and accuracy assessment shows that RF and Cart give the best results. This research was done as part of the project Climate HIDROLAB (KK.01.1.1.04.0053) � Integrated hydrographic system for sustainable development of the marine ecosystem.
ARTIFICIALLY AIDED FUNGI RECOGNITION USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS

Published: March 2023

This article presents the concept of using neural networks in the recognition of fungi for use in a mobile forest ecosystem inspection robot. There are many dependencies regarding the occurrence of fungi in the vicinity of specific tree species. The presence of some fungi may be the result of a developing tree disease. The possibility of quick recognition of the fungus species using an autonomous mobile robot will allow for faster detection and prevention of the disease in entire ecosystems. An attempt was made to use neural networks to improve the efficiency of recognizing a specific species of fungus. This paper presents a comparison between our network and the AlexNet method network (created by Alex Krizhevsky) [1] for fungal recognition. This system was designed so that created by our students' science club NewTech AGH mobile inspection robot "RUMCAJS" could map the fungal population over time. Based on the comparison of the neural networks used, the possibility of correct use of the proposed solution for the detection of fungi was shown, as well as a more effective method in this application was indicated. The proposed method can be successfully implemented for the inspection of ecosystems using autonomous robots.
DIVERSITY AND LOCATION OF PLANT SPECIES IN A MINING ENVIRONMENT: A NEW PERSPECTIVE FROM THE GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE SUBSTRATE

Published: March 2023

The plant soil relation in an extreme environment was studied with the aim of determining the physiological and/or ecological mechanisms involved in overcoming environmental constraints.
In our work we have studied different aspects such as diversity, colonization strategies, dynamics, etc. of the vegetation that appears in a mining environment. The alteration of the soil in these places comes from very varied activities in addition to the chemical peculiarities of the extracted minerals. In short, we can consider these spaces as a mosaic of different substrates originating from the contribution of exogenous material, gangue deposits, mining tailings deposits, areas partially altered by the activity of machinery, etc. We distinguished 6 different substrates that respond to different degrees of alteration of the original soil, ranging from total degradation, due to replacement by exogenous materials, to partial degradation where the original soil is more or less altered by different processes. Each of these different substrates has its geochemical peculiarities and the vegetation that develops in each of these areas responds perfectly to the conditions derived from the geochemistry of the substrate on which they grow. If we add to this that we are in a Mediterranean continental climate, with little plubiometry and a severe summer of 5 months of high temperatures and drough, and the presence of high levels of heavy metals, the study of plant cover becomes very interesting.

Published: March 2023

The study analyzed forest vegetation in the "Bazos Dendrological Park" area, Timis County, Romania, in order to describe the seasonal variation of the vegetation through imaging analysis based on satellite images (Sentinel 2). The study took place in the period 2021-2022, and each year 7 sets of images (T1 - T7) were taken between the months of April and August. NDMI, NDVI and NBR indices were calculated from the analysis of satellite images. Among the calculated indices, very strong correlations were found between NBR and NDMI (r=-0.928, year 2021), between NBR and NDVI (r=0.947, year 2021; r=0.928, year 2022). Moderate correlations were found between NDVI and NDMI (r=-0.769, year 2021), and weak correlations were found between NDMI and t (r=-0.655, year 2021), between NDVI and NDMI (r=0.617, year 2022). Other weak intensity correlations were also recorded. The variation of the NDVI indices in relation to NDMI and the NBR index in relation to NDMI or to NDVI was described by polynomial equations of 2nd degree, under statistical safety conditions (p les than 0.001, R2>0.9 for the year 2021; p=0.007, R2 >0.9 in the case of NDVI vs NDMI; p=0.014, R2=0.877 in the case of NBR vs NDVI, respectively p less than 0.001, R2 bigger than 0.9 in the case of NBR vs NDMI for the year 2022). In relation to the time interval (t, days), spline models faithfully described the variation of the calculated indices during the study period, under statistical safety conditions ( ? = .0 0061 in the case of NDMI vs t, ? = 0017.0 in the case of NDVI vs t, ? = 0067.0 in the case of NBR vs t, under the conditions of 2021; ? = 0317.0 in the case of NDMI vs t, ? = 0024.0 in the case of NDVI vs t, ? = 0077.0 in the case of NDMI vs t, under the conditions of 2022).
The development of case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the assessment of the independence of judges in Member States: an analysis on the example of cases concerning the judicial reform in Poland
Authors: Kaleta Sebastian
Published: March 2023

In recent years, interpretation of the concept of an independent and impartial court has been the subject of debate in national and international legal space. In particular, the issue of the admissibility of an assessment of the independence and impartiality of judges, and the criteria that should be taken into consideration in such an examination, raise doubts. This problemis discussed in a broader context concerning the competences of European Union bodies to assess the organisation of the system of justice in Member States.The article presents the matter of the formation of the competences of the Court of Justice of the European Union with regard to the functioning of the judiciary along with the mostimportant judgments from the perspective of the issues in question. An analysis of the court rulings enabled a conclusion to be drawn of the creation of two different ruling practices: in the domestic aspect, it allows for an arbitrary and abstract test of judicial independence, whereas in the EU aspect the test is objective and individual.

AGENDA 2030 E OS ODS: AS NOTÍCIAS CONSTRUTIVAS EM BUSCA DE ESPAÇO NO JORNALISMO CONTEMPORÂNEO
Authors: Tondolo Vinicius Luiz , Pavan Ricardo
Published: March 2023

O excesso de exposição a informação aliado a estratégia do jornalismo noticioso em fazer com que a audiência permaneça atenta a sua própria programação por meio de conteúdos com teor negativo tem fortalecido a sensação de desesperança do público com a realidade. Para tentar analisar este cenário, este artigo tem o objetivo de observar a dificuldade que o Jornalismo Noticioso tem para debater e aprofundar temas positivos, como a sustentabilidade, que exigem maior profundidade de produção e assim torná-los conteúdos acessíveis a um público com alcance ampliado e com maior poder de engajamento e conscientização. Um dos principais símbolos desta discussão é a Agenda 2030 e os seus 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Partindo de um processo de conscientização a ser iniciado por veículos e profissionais da imprensa, até chegar ao público, é proposto a implantação de um modelo de produção noticioso baseado nos conceitos do Jornalismo Construtivo e do Slow Journalism.

Copro samples (1,126) of locally reared cattle at north Kashmir (Baramulla, Kupwara and Bandipora) were examined over a period of 1 year by qualitative and quantitative techniques. The overall prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) helminths was 59.86% with trematodes, cestodes and nematodes in 11.63, 4.44 and 53.02% animals, respectively. Paramphistomes (7.10%) were the most prevalent trematodes followed by Fasciola spp. (4.53%) and Dicrocoelium spp. (0.27%). Prevalence of Moniezia spp. the only cestode found in the study was 4.44%. Among nematodes, the prevalence of strongyle worms was the highest (49.91%) followed by Trichuris spp. (3.64%) and Strongyloides spp. (2.04%). Seasonal variation revealed significantly highest prevalence of GI helminths during spring (68.21%) followed by autumn (67.50%), summer (55.59%) and winter (48.21%). Overall young cattle had significantly higher prevalence (68.13%) than adult animals (55.10%) but trematode infection was significantly higher in adults. Overall GI helminths were non-significantly higher in females (60.56%) as compared to males (58.24%) but the prevalence of paramphistomes was significantly higher in females. The prevalence of Dicrocoelium spp. and all the nematodes was nonsignificantly higher in males. EPG was ranging between 0 and 400 with an average EPG of 177.44±6.29. Highest EPG was recorded in spring (231.11±14.15) followed by summer (211.11±11.56), autumn (148.00±11.15) and winter (132.73±8.32). On coprocultural examination, Haemonchus spp. (65%) was found to be the most predominant strongyle worm followed by Bunostomum spp. (20%) and Trichostrongylus spp. (15%).

The present study was carried out to investigate the putative beneficial effects of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and cysteamine supplementation alone or their combination on in vitro embryo development competence of fertilized goat oocytes. Presumptive zygotes (18 h post insemination) were randomly assigned for in vitro embryo development in embryo development medium (EDM) supplemented with IGF-I (Gr. 1), Cysteamine (Gr. 2), IGF- I + Cysteamine (Gr. 3) and Control containing only EDM (Gr. 4). Statistically non-significant difference was observed in cleavage rate among all the treated groups. Morula formation rate was significantly higher in IGF-I supplemented group compared to IGF-I + cysteamine supplemented and non-supplemented (control) groups. Furthermore, supplementation of IGF-I, cysteamine and IGF-I + cysteamine in embryo culture medium significantly improved blastocyst formation rate compared to control. However, a nonsignificant difference in blastocyst formation was observed among the supplemented groups. These findings lead to the conclusion that under in vitro conditions, supplementation of IGF-I and cysteamine alone or combination in IVC media were equally effective in embryo development and blastocyst production, however, this effect was significantly higher as compared to non- supplemented group (control).

Data pertaining to 509 Phule Triveni cows sired by 102 bulls maintained at Research-Cum Development Projecton Cattle, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri District Ahmadnagar (Maharashtra) were analysed to studythe performance of Phule Triveni cows for lifetime traits. Least-squares means and genetic parameters were estimated for different lifetime traits. The observed least squares means for actual life time milk yield (ALTMY), herd life (HL), productive life (PL) and breeding efficiency (BE) were 12767 ± 207 kg, 2863 ± 29 days, 1875 ± 28 days and77.00 ± 0.71%, respectively. The estimates of heritability (h2) for all these lifetime traits under univariate methods(LSML and REML) were 0.15 ± 0.11 and 0.22 ± 0.08 for ALTMY, 0.10 ± 0.12 and 0.19 ± 0.06 for HL, 0.10 ± 0.11 and 0.16 ± 0.05 for PL and 0.01 ± 0.11 and 0.10 ± 0.07 for BE, respectively. The h2 estimates obtained by REML method were higher as compared to LSML. The h2 estimates for ALTMY under two traits models were 0.27 ± 0.08, 0.20 ± 0.08 and 0.20 ± 0.06 for ALTMY + PL, ALTMY + HL and ALTMY + BE traits combinations, respectively. The observed estimates of h2 for ALTMY in combination with PL were higher than the estimates obtained under univariate model by REML method. The estimates of h2 for ALTMY were 0.54 ± 0.03, 0.54 ± 0.06 and 0.49 ± 0.02 for ALTMY + PL + HL, ALTMY + PL + BE and ALTMY + HL + BE traits combinations, respectively. The h2 estimates of ALTMY under three trait models were quite high, positive and significant compared to two trait and unitrait models by REML method. The lifetime trait combinations of ALTMY, HL, PL and BE could be used for genetic evaluation and selection of cows in the herd at any point of time. The genetic and phenotypic correlations among the lifetime traits in the present study were 0.90 ± 0.10 and 0.92 ± 0.11, 0.88 ± 0.17 and 0.98 ± 0.11 and 0.17 ± 0.08 and 0.06 ± 0.26 within ALTMY and PL, ALTMY and HL and ALTMY and BE, respectively. The high genetic and phenotypic correlations between ALTMY, HL and PL revealed that selection can be based on any one of these lifetime traits to bring improvement in other lifetime traits.

Published: March 2023

Chhattisgarhi buffalo are raised in North and Central parts of Chhattisgarh. They are medium sized buffaloes having triple purpose utility viz. milk, drought and manure, which makes them economical to their keepers. Average milk production in buffaloes was around 4 kg/day with a peak milk yield of 6 kg and buffalo bullocks were preferred over cattle bullocks for cultivating rice fields. Physical and phenotypic characterization of Chhattisgarhi buffalo reveals that the population does not resemble other extant breeds of the region and has a unique management system, therefore, we may conclude that Chhattisgarhi buffalo is unique and distinct population. We recommend that Chhattisgarhi buffalo should be registered and recognized as separate breed of buffalo in India.

Published: March 2023

Different seeds such as barley, wheat and yellow maize were utilized for fodder production by hydroponic method. However, this novel experiment was aimed to study the effect of hydroponic horse gram fodder and hydroponic sun hemp fodder with 50% replacement of concentrate mixture on the growth performance in Tellicherry kids. Sixty male Tellicherry kids at the age of 3 months were randomly divided into 3 groups each having 20 kids' viz. treatment 1 (100% concentrate), treatment 2 (50% concentrate + hydroponic horse gram fodder) and treatment 3 (50% concentrate + hydroponic sun hemp fodder). Palatability trial was conducted for a period of 7 days to assess the maximum intake of hydroponic fodders by the kids. After analyzing the palatability and chemical composition, feeding trial was formulated on as fed basis. Duration of the study was 30 days. Production parameters such as total body weight gain (kg), daily body weight gain (kg), total feed intake/head/30 day (kg) (DM basis) and feed conversion efficiency (%) and cost of feeding were studied. After analysis of collected data, no significant difference was noticed between the groups in terms of total body weight gain, daily body weight gain, total feed intake/head/30 day on DM basis and feed conversion efficiency. Cost of feeding/animal was lower in sun hemp fodder fed groups. Thus, hydroponic horse gram fodder and sun hemp fodder can be used as an alternative for concentrate mixture in the feed ration of Tellicherry kids.

Published: March 2023

Background

Since 2015, the American Delirium Society (ADS) Research Committee has conducted an annual survey of the delirium literature for presentation in its year-in-review session. Our objectives were to describe the review process used for the 2021–2022 and to summarise the selected publications.

Methods

Each member of the ADS Research Committee nominated up to 6 publications considered to be the most impactful primary delirium research published from September 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022. The 24 nominated studies were divided into three categories balanced by number of articles: medical intervention trials, non-medical intervention trials, and delirium detection/basic science studies. Each ADS Research Committee member ranked all studies in their assigned category for methodological rigor and for impact, each being scored as 0–10, for a total score of 0–20. It was decided a priori to select the top three highest-scoring articles in each category for presentation, with ties adjudicated by Committee consensus.

Results

Nineteen Research Committee members served as reviewers. Scores for each category were similar: medical interventions mean (standard deviation) 12.8 (1.1), non-medical interventions 13.1 (1.1), and detection/basic science 12.6 (1.0). We summarise the results of the papers presented in the 2022 ADS year-in-review session.

Conclusion

The diversity of studies presented for the 2022 ADS year-in-review session illustrates the breadth of the delirium field and the growing number of clinical trials. The dissemination of publications across a broad, diverse array of journals provides further justification of the need for delirium-specific journals.

مستخلص

   تستهدف هذه الدراسة  التعرف على أهم المعوقات التي تواجه الصحفيين أثناء التغطية الإخبارية لجلسات برلمان كوردستان- العراق، ومعرفة كيفية مساهمة وتعاون مديرية الإعلام في البرلمان مع الصحفيين في تغطية جلسات برلمان كوردستان. وقد اعتمد الباحث على المنهج المسحي باعتباره أحد اسالبيب الدراسة الوصفية  في جمع  وتحليل  البيانات، أما ادوات البحث فقد استخدم الباحث الاستبيان كأداة لجمع البيانات إضافة إلى وصف تحليلي للوسائل والأساليب الإتصالية لأهم المعوقات التي تواجه عمل الصحفيين والتسهيلات التي تقدم إلى الصحفيين والقنوات الاعلامية في مديرية إعلام البرلمان. وخلص البحث إلى مجموعة من النتائج نذكر أهمها:

أغلبية الصحفيين أكدوا أنهم يواجهون المعوقات أثناء قيامهم بالتغطية الإخبارية لجلسات البرلمان بسبب إيقاف البث المباشر عند حدوث المشادات الكلامية بين النواب. ولا يسمح للصحفيين بتغطية نشاطات واجتماعات اللجان البرلمانية، ويتم منعهم من الحضور إلى قاعة جلسة البرلمان عندما تكون الجلسات مغلقة وسرية.

تبين أن النسبة الأكبر من الصحفيين يقضون أـكثر من سبع ساعات يومياً في التغطية الإخبارية لجلسات البرلمان.

تبين أن نسبة الاكبر من الصحفيين العاملين في القنوات الفضائية لتغطية جلسات البرلمان هم من أصحاب الخبرة في هذا مجال  يمتد لسنوات عديدة.

يعتبر توفير خدمة النقل المباشر لجلسات البرلمان في المركز الصحفي في مقدمة التسهيلات  والتعاون التي تقدمها مديرية إعلام البرلمان إلى الصحفيين والقنوات الفضائية.
