A study on the impact of S.F.D.A. on the adoption of crop teclinology by the participant small farmers of South Arcot district of Tamil Nadu revealed that the partici- pation in S.F.D.A. as borrower for sinking irrigation well or deepening the existing well had not resulted in the batter adoption of improved cultivation practices. Lack of know- ledge was one of the major reasons for the non-adoption of improved cultivation prac tices. literacy was a barrier in maintaining farm records. The S.F.D.A. should make spacial efforts in educating small farmers on crop technology. Since majority of them are illiterates the extension methods should necessarily include more of personal contact through farm and home visits. Promoting functional literacy will enable the small farmers to have farm appraisal by maintaining form records.

Ponni (Mashuri) is a medium duration rice variety largely grown during Sambo and Thalodi seasons in Tamil Nadu extending from August to February. It is known for its fine and good quality rice coupled with adaptability to monsoon conditions followed by cold weather period. But being a tall indica variety it is susceptible for lodging resulting in drastic reductions in yields. Therefore to improve this variety for plant type, high yielding with fine grains resembling that of Ponni and adaptability for monsoon period hybridization was effected with IR 8 in the year 1972. Twenty selections confirming to these objectives were finally evaluated in F 6 for the yield and yield components and grain type. It has been identified that genotypes P. 151, 162, 166, 174 and 191 appear promising from their desirable level of expression of yield components, and higher yields coupled with the duration and grain type of Ponni.

Studies were carried out on composite fish culture in two earthern ponds of 100 m each in size using Catla, Rohu, Migral and Common Carp at 15% 40% 25% and 20% ratio, respectively. Fish population density was maintained at 5,000/HE in one pond and 7,000/ha in the other. The annual net production in these ponds was 2.005 kg/ha and 2.160 kg/ha respectively. The growth rate of the individual species was found to be inversely proportionate to the species ratios. Catlo with the minimum species ratio (25%) gained the minimum weight High population density exerted stress in reducing the size of fishes in 7.000/ha density pond compared to those in 5,000/ha density pond. The cost of production and cost benefit were computed from the studies and presented.

One way compatibility between the species of Capsicum viz. Copsicum annuum and Capsicum frutescens was realised. In spite of occurrence of post-fertilization barriers, hybrids could be grown to maturity in respect of some combinations of parents only. High sterility bath genic and chromosomal in origin was evidenced. The differentiation between the parental species seems to rest upon genic or small structural differences in their chromosome components. The cytological behaviour of the hybrids points to the non development of genic mechanisms which inhibit pairing of chromosomes in the Fis

This research is entitled The Influence of Strategic Leadership, Organizational Commitment and Organizational Culture Through Consensus Strategy on the Achievement of Development Strategy Plans in Government Agencies in Timor Leste. The purpose of this research is to answer ten hypotheses where hypotheses 1-7 are direct effect hypotheses and three hypotheses are indirect effects. Analysis of the determinant coefficient (R2), analysis of the influence of power (F2) and predictive relevance analysis (Q2) of the measurement model between variables. The results of the research show that the ten hypotheses are accepted. The results of the R2 test show that the coefficient of determination (R2) of the Consensus Strategy is in the strong category. And Consensus Strategy can be explained from Strategic Leadership, Organizational Commitment, and Organizational Culture. The coefficient of determinant variable of Achievement of the Development Strategy Plan belongs to the strong category and has variations which can be explained from Strategic Leadership, Organizational Commitment, Organizational Culture and Consensus Strategy. The results of for all endogenous variables of the Consensus Strategy and Outcomes of the Development Strategy Plan have very large results and show that exogenous variables have relevance to endogenous variables. The Variable Consensus Strategy has great predictive relevance to the Achievements of the Development Strategy Plan. The results of the F2 test show that Consensus Strategy has a moderate effect on the Achievement of the Development Strategy Plan, Organizational Culture has a moderate effect on the Consensus Strategy, and Organizational Culture has a small effect on the Achievement of the Development Strategy Plan, Organizational Commitment has a small effect on the Consensus Strategy. Strategic Leadership has a small effect on the Achievement of the Development Strategy Plan and Strategic Leadership has a small effect on the Strategic Consensus. The conclusions from the test results on the model are able to explain the influence of Strategic Leadership, Organizational Commitment, Organizational Culture, Consensus Strategy and Achievements of the Development Strategy Plan on government agencies in Timor Leste. It is suggested to the government in Timor Leste to pay attention to, and cultivate Strategic Leadership, Organizational Commitment, Organizational Culture, and Consensus Strategy towards the Achievements of the Development Strategy Plan. In this regard, it is necessary to have a government agency or agency at the national level that is responsible for strategic development planning so that it can coordinate and evaluate the achievements of development strategic plans in accordance with the targets set in each government agency in Timor Leste.

Meningiomas are frequently extra axial tumors and represent the most common tumor of the meninges. They are benign non- glial neoplasms which arise from meningothelial cells of the arachnoid membranes. However, they could be locally invasive and aggressive. They are classified into three grades according to the WHO, criteria, namely grade I (benign), grade II (atypical) and grade III (anaplastic). Atypical locations of meningioma (subcortical intra axial) have been reported. Our case study shows both the extra axial and intra axial locations. The latter represents a challenge in Radiological diagnosis because it could be taken as a metastatic tumor or a vascular malformation. Our case study, is a 57year old woman who presented to the Radiology department for a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) investigation on account of a 3year history of seizure disorder, headache and occasional irrational behavior as explained by her relative. The seizures are inconsistent in pattern, it could be generalized tonic clonic or focal (facial or limb twitches or abnormal movement of the head). Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain revealed a dura based homogenously enhancing, isointense subcortical mass at the right occipital lobe with marked vasogenic perilesional oedema. A similar but smaller lesion is seen at the parasagittal area of the frontal lobe.

Nowadays environmental changes and increased populations are threatening the natural source of drugs in such a way that the whole world is dependent on the drugs prepared from synthetic procedures, unlike natural sources they are compounds that might cause allergic reactions and complications in humans. In the olden days, humans completely relied on nature as they knew the importance of ecology and various ways to protect nature from encroachment. Due to overburdening of the population and encroachment of the forest, an umpty number of natural sources are currently becoming endangered and extinct. Many natural sources have the potent activity to curb infections from bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, etc, and also have anti-cancer properties, etc. Searching for an alternative source for endangered species of different natural sources is the need of the hour. So, this review article gives an insight into the medicinal usage of marine sources snails in the Indian traditional system of medicine concerning Ano rectal disorders.

Bonylip barb fish is an aquaculture commodity that has the potential to be developed in Banyumas district. In its cultivation activities, bonylip barb are able to consume artificial feed well. The feed consumed will affect the digestive condition. The fish digestive tract is a complex system whose main functions are digestion and absorption. Nutrient absorption in intestinal cells is influenced by active transport of Na+ (sodium) ions. Na+ and Cl ion levels are obtained through water and feed. This study aims to determine the effect of salt supplementation in commercial feed with different concentrations on bacterial abundance. The research was carried out experimentally with salt supplementation doses (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%; w/w) to be applied to bonylip barb seeds (5-7 cm) for 60 days. Research parameters include bacterial abundance, positive and negative gram tests. The results showed that the treatment with the addition of 2% NaCl gave a total number of bacteria that tended to be higher than the control (0% NaCl). The total number of bacteria in the digestive tract of Nilem fish that were given NaCl addition to the feed ranged from 3.78 ± 6.27 x 106 CFU/gram to 32.04 ± 19.51 x 106 CFU/gram. The addition of NaCl affects the proportion of gram positive and negative in the digestive tract of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Gram positive bacteria tended to dominate in the 2% NaCl treatment at 69.99% and gram negative bacteria at 21.69%.

The green mussel (Perna viridis) is an important commodity in marine aquaculture. A challenge in green mussel cultivation is the presence of diseases caused by parasites that attach or live on the mussels. This research aims to determine the abundance of ectoparasites and competitors on green mussels in the mentioned waters. The research methods employed both qualitative and quantitative descriptive approaches. The observed research variables included species identification, prevalence and intensity of ectoparasites, as well as diversity and abundance of competitors. The findings revealed the presence of 2 ectoparasite species and 10 competitor species. The highest prevalence of Balanus sp. was recorded in Bagan Tancap I for mussels larger than 4 cm, at 79.6%±6.16 (moderate), while the lowest prevalence was in Bagan Tancap II for mussels smaller than 4 cm, at 33.3%±1.05 (common). The highest intensity of Balanus sp. ectoparasite attacks occurred in Bagan Tancap I for mussels larger than 4 cm, at 7.18 ind/mussel (moderate), and the lowest intensity was in Bagan Tancap II for mussels smaller than 4 cm, at 1.75 ind/mussel (low). The intensity of sea snail egg infestations ranged from 1 to 2 ind/mussel, with no significant difference (P>0.05). The highest competitor abundance was found in Bagan Tancap I with the species Nereis sp., at 0.57 ind/mussel, and the highest competitor diversity was also observed in Bagan Tancap I with the species crab at 36.292 ind/mussel. Considering the prevalence and intensity values of Balanus sp. ectoparasites on green mussels in the waters of the Java Sea in Kecamatan Sidayu, it is still suitable for green mussel cultivation.

One of the tasks in the research of the gene pool of fruit crops is a systematic phenotypic assessment of samples in collections and the study of their genetic diversity. To date, traditional methods of varietal study and DNA marking are used for this purpose, which make it possible to identify donors and sources for breeding and promising varieties for industrial cultivation. The aim of the research was a comprehensive phenotypic and genotypic evaluation of varieties and hybrids of sweet cherries of domestic breeding. A long-term phenotypic assessment, carried out against the background of unstable and stressful conditions of the growing year, made it possible to identify more plastic varieties of sweet cherries Kavkazskaya uluchshennaya, Kavkazskaya, Podarok leta, combining the signs of winter hardiness, drought resistance, resistance to coccomycosis, and productivity. Simultaneous assessment of sweet cherry varieties of local breeding based on the analysis of polymorphism of microsatellite loci made it possible to establish genetic characteristics and perform DNA certification. To analyze the polymorphism of the studied genotypes, we used 7 SSR loci that were first identified and mapped in the sweet cherry genome (Alaya, Madonna, Kavkazskaya, Kavkazskaya uluchshennaya, Krasna devitsa, Mak, Podarok leta, Yasno solnyshko, Luchezarnaya, Yuzhnaya). Analysis of the obtained DNA fingerprints made it possible to establish that all the studied varieties of sweet cherries have a unique allelic set. For DNA certification of cherry varieties, the most polymorphic SSR markers are recommended: EMPa018, EMPaS12, EMPa017, EMPa004, UCDCH17, UCDCH12 and UCDCH31. Sweet cherry varieties Madonna (early), Podarok leta (middle) and Alaya (late) have been identified as sources of a complex of adaptive and productive traits recommended for further breeding work, as well as varieties that are for laying new cherry plantations in the south of the country.

The results of studies of carbohydrate-acid and phenolic complexes, biochemical properties of native grape varieties Sary pandas and Soldaya growing in the Crimean conditions (village of Vilino, Bakhchisaray district) are presented. The classic grape variety Aligote, which grows in the same edaphoclimatic conditions, was used as a control. It was noted that the carbohydrate-acid complex of the must in the studied varieties was within the recommended range of values: technological maturity index - 217-241, glucoacidometric index - 2.8-3.0, and was within the control grape variety. The assessment of the phenolic complex showed that the technological reserve was within the limits of the values of the control grape variety. At the same time, some indicators of the phenolic complex exceeded the values of the control variety: the initial content of phenolic substances was 1.8-2.1 times in both studied varieties, the maceration ability was 1.6 times (in the Sary pandas variety), which determines the selection of technological methods at the stage of grape processing, excluding the transfer of these components. It has been established that the studied varieties have a low oxidizing capacity, which is a favorable factor for the production of low-oxidized wine materials. The possibility and prospects of using these varieties in the production of wine materials for table and sparkling wines are shown, taking into account the application of the recommendations.
Building in Prehistoric Cyprus
Tracing Transformations in the Built and Social Environment of Early Cypriot Communities
Authors: Amadio Marialucia
Published: October 2023

The study of architecture, from the selection, procurement and processing of raw materials, to the construction and use of buildings as spaces of action and interaction, can provide major insights into the social organisation of ancient communities. Architecture, as a way of organising space and encoding meaning, plays an active role in structuring movement and socio-cultural identities and provides a range of potential avenues for exploring social motivations and rationales in particular contexts and environments, both at the individual and community levels. This book examines ‘architecture’ as key media for analysing socio-cultural narratives in prehistoric Cyprus and exploring the formation, reproduction and development of early Cypriot communities. In particular, the volume aims at moving beyond the classification of architectural forms and functions and exploring the social, ideological, economic and political transformations that characterised the Cypriot prehistory from the late Aceramic Neolithic until the advent of the Late Bronze Age (7000/6800-1750/1700 Cal BC) by using architectural evidence as the focal analytical data-set. The interest of this study is not only in how people constructed buildings but also in how buildings contributed to the construction and definition of new socio-cultural and economic identities during Cypriot prehistory. Through a detailed review of the existing architectural data-set available for prehistoric Cypriot settlements, the book aims to understand how the development of new concepts of architecture, and the increasing appearance of social, cultural and economic forms of complexity are mutually constituted.
2 • Shaping the Built Environment
Transformations in Building Materials and Techniques
Authors: Amadio Marialucia
Published: October 2023

The act of building implies the choice of transforming the natural environment into a constructed environment. This means that a series of actions and processes are deliberately undertaken by social agents to shape their own living space. It is clear, therefore, that this ‘space’ reflects ideas, ideologies and relationships of individuals and communities, and it represents the arena within which social, economic and political relations are played out. This act of shaping the built environment is crucial for understanding the relationship between human actors and the physical environment they operated in. The built environment is an integral portion of the culture, and it represents not only the physical context within which the social interactions are enacted, but is also an active agent which contributes to structure social life.
3 • Experiencing the Built Environment
Transformations in Architectural Forms and Installations
Authors: Amadio Marialucia
Published: October 2023

This chapter explores the performance of buildings and the significance of architectural forms through the examination of building shape and size and the analysis of building’s installations and occupation surfaces as indicators of social practices and choices. The micro-scale examinations of building practices and operations, which have been presented in the previous chapter, are integrated, into this section, with the meso-scale analyses of the building’s spatial characteristics and of buildings constitutive elements. This evidence provides important clues to analyse the way buildings were used, perceived and experienced in the prehistoric communities of Cyprus.

This study was inspired by the lack of teaching techniques that could accommodate students’ speaking skills as the main indicator determining students’ success in learning English. The elicitation technique could be used by teachers to initiate students to speak during the learning process. A descriptive qualitative method was employed which aimed to investigate the types of elicitation techniques used, the way to implement them, and students’ responses to the elicitation techniques employed by the English teachers in motivating students to speak. There were two English teachers and ten students consisting of seventh and eighth grades involved as the participants in this study. Checklist, classroom observation, interview, and video audio recordings were conducted as the methods of data collection by means of observation checklist, observation sheet, interview guide, as well as video-audio recorders. The data were analyzed based on the category of elicitation techniques proposed by Cross (1992). The findings showed that there were 10 types of elicitation techniques used. Speech Prompts 44.5 (28.7%), WH Short-Answer Question 42.5 (27.4%), dan Yes-No Question 37 (23.9%) were the most frequent types used by the teachers in eliciting students to speak. In addition, it was also revealed that the elicitation techniques were employed by the teachers in all the teaching segments. Eight out of ten students positively responded by feeling motivated to speak in English. This indicated that the elicitation techniques used by the teachers could motivate students to speak in English.

FUNCTIONS OF SPEECH ACTS IN AUSTRALIAN MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS SPEECH AT UNGA
Authors: Putri Maria Dwilla Sekar , Sunarto Emanuel
Published: October 2023

Sometimes, politicians may use speech acts in their political speeches that the audience may interpret in a variety of ways. Speech acts are used when a speaker expresses words or phrases to achieve specified objectives and it relates to pragmatics in some way. This research aims to find the most dominant and the functions of illocutionary acts found in Australian Minister of Foreign Affairs speech at UNGA. The theory used was from Searle and it was found that there were four illocutionary acts in the speech, namely representative, commissive, directive, and expressive. It was found that representative was the most dominant type of act in the speech. It occurred 54 times to inform and state the current condition and issues of the world. The second was commissive with 23 occurences, followed by directive with 14 occurences, and expressive with 6 occurences. While declarative was not found because there was not any declaration that could change the current condition.

 
An RNA interference (RNAi) target with potential to control Dothistroma needle blight

Published: October 2023

Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) involves exogenous spray applications of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules targeting specific genes, such as those essential to pathogens. This technique has shown great potential for controlling fungal pathogens of horticultural and agricultural plants, but few studies have evaluated its application to forest pathogens. Here we report the first demonstration of exogenous application of dsRNA molecules targeting a gene required for virulence in the foliar pine pathogen Dothistroma septosporum, the causal agent of Dothistroma needle blight (DNB). Constructs expressing sense and antisense dsRNAs were generated targeting a 509 bp fragment of the dothistromin toxin regulatory gene (DsAflR) in D. septosporum. DsAflR is required for the production of dothistromin, a phytotoxin essential for full pathogen virulence. We found that exogenous dsRNA is taken up and the RNA silencing mechanism is functional in D. septosporum through a series of in vitro and in planta trials, such as monitoring the uptake of fluorescently labelled DsAflR-dsRNA into the cell by confocal microscopy and quantifying the extent of gene silencing by quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). In vitro applications of DsAflR-dsRNA to D. septosporum reduced the accumulation of DsAflR mRNA compared to controls and, in some cases, were found to be statistically significant, despite a high level of variability in the results. Our study also demonstrated a reduction in DNB symptoms on infected pine needles sprayed with DsAflR-dsRNA, which was further supported by a significant reduction in fungal biomass. This preliminary study highlights the potential for SIGS as a future management scheme for controlling the forest pathogen D. septosporum, as well as other forest pathogens.

The first results of the study of the activity paradigm of the Russian linguistic personality based on RAS and SIBAS
Authors:   Institute of Philology (Siberian Branch) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Tkach Anastasia I.
Published: October 2023

The author introduces the term “activity paradigm of the Russian linguistic personality” and shares some results of the study carried out on the dominant verbs of the associative networks modeled on Russian associative dictionary (RAS) and Russian regional associative database (Siberia and the Far East) (SIBAS): ‘to live’, ‘to do’, ‘to sleep’, ‘to think’, ‘to go’, ‘to speak’, ‘to have done’. The study has been aimed at defining the changes in the socio-communicative settings of the Russian linguistic personality related to activity. The author provides the theoretical prerequisites to the study of the activity paradigm and proves the relevance of the term “hypernet” which has been borrowed from K.V. Anokhin’s hypernet brain theory to define the term “activity paradigm”. The article describes the methods applied at each of the two stages of the study which are statistical analysis and psychoglossing. Those reactions to the stimuli in question which are related to the subjects of activity, individualism, finance, and evaluations are cited. The author points out that analysis of verbs proves to be insufficient for understanding of the activity-related socio-communicative settings of the Russian linguistic personality. Thus, the article provides a supplementary analysis of the nouns ‘money’, ‘work’, ‘labor’, and ‘career’. Further research being necessary, the author observes an increase in the Russian linguistic personality’s egocentricity and some traces of monetarization of the Russian linguistic consciousness.

Published: October 2023

The article considers the heuristic possibilities of using psycholinguistic dictionaries (associative and associative-semantic) for modeling fragments of the linguistic consciousness of certain groups (sociocultural communities) of native speakers, and builds a “three-dimensional” model of the subjective semantics of individual stimuli in a comparative slice and trend modes. The authors characterize the main associative dictionaries created on the basis of the results of all-Russian and regional experiments, show the possibilities of “large” and “small” psycholinguistic dictionaries in the aspect of modern scientific research. The implementation of the heuristic potential of regional dictionaries is shown on the example of comparative slice and trend descriptions of the semantics of the stimulus “life”. Associative fields from the “Associative Dictionary of a Teenager” (composed in 2002), the new associative base of this dictionary made up in 2021, associative and semantic experiments conducted by the authors in Omsk in 2010 – 2012 and in 2022 are used as material for such descriptions. To analyze the composition of the fields, it was important to analyze the stable and mobile zones of the subjective semantics of the stimulus, the verbal expression of the semantic areas associated with the stimulus, the behavior of frequency reactions of the respondents of different age and social groups, the prevalence of nonstandard (slang, colloquial) and foreign language reactions.
