Effect of Biochar on Yield, Yield Components, and Macronutrients of Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: Falahkar Alireza Nosrati , Doroudian Hamid Reza , Bidarigh Sirous , Sadeghi Seyyed Mostafa , Ashouri Majid
Published: June 2023

Biochar has recently caught researchers’ attention due to its potential of improving soil fertility and immobilizing pollutants and its emergence as a proper method of increasing crop yields. An experiment was conducted on the effect of chemical, ecological, and organic (biochar and compost) nutritional systems on yield and yield components of rice as a split-plot field experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in two sites in Lahijan in 2018-2019. The experimental factors included nutrition at three levels (ecological, chemical, and control) as the main plot and the organic matter at four levels (urban waste compost, biochar, Azolla, and control) as the sub-plot. The combined application of chemical and organic fertilizers produced the highest grain yield, reflecting the positive effect of their combination on grain yield and yield components of rice cv. ‘Hashemi’. The results showed that the highest grain yield of 3699 kg ha-1 was related to the treatment of chemical fertilizer and biochar and the lowest (2209 kg ha-1 , i.e., a 40% decline) to the control (no chemical or biological fertilizer application). The highest number of fertile tillers and panicles per plant was obtained from the application of chemical fertilizer and biochar, the highest number of filled grains per panicle (116 grains) was observed in the application of chemical fertilizer and biochar at the university farm, and the lowest (84 grains) from the control (unfertilized treatment) at the Kateshal farm. The nutrient uptake was significantly higher in the chemical and biochar treatment than in the other treatments. Organic systems had varying impacts on rice yield and reduced the application of chemical fertilizers. Biochar contributed to increasing the growth, yield, and nutrient uptake of rice plants.
The Problematic of the Grammatical Term, its Concept and Subject in “The Councils of Scholars” in the Light of Probing Theory
Authors: Al Kindi Khalid
Published: June 2023

Probing is a theory that serves most of the sciences, and is based on ontological, epistemological, and metalinguistic foundations. It is ontological because it reconsiders existence through six categories called probes, namely: unit, act, relation, condition, emotions, and time. It is epistemological because it analyzes human knowledge in various sciences, discusses the philosophy that stands behind its awareness, corrects its origins on which it was built, codifies the development of its terminology, and provides a mechanism for the precise separation of its overlapping concepts. It is a metalinguistic because it is a new Organon that regulates thinking through a unified language that has a new idiomatic and conceptual apparatus. The Probing theory believes that behind the "term" are complex concepts and multiple problems, and that if we look deeply at it in a probical way based on understanding the difference between the types of probes, the logical relationships that link them, and their relationship to their three worlds (the world of minds, the world of nature, the world of symbols), and their relationship to fields (sciences, knowledge, and disciplines).      The scientific addition offered by the Probing theory is to provide an innovative working mechanism to renew Arabic grammar, solve its idiomatic and conceptual problems, and analyze its procedures.

Teaching EFL Writing:
Authors: Islam Rezwana
Published: June 2023

Writing in English has become a challenging task for EFL learners in Bangladesh with the written test-based assessment system and growing importance of speaking skills as part of globalization. So the need for writing skill development remains the same despite the difference in curriculum and mode of communication (native or non-native language) of educational institutions. This study discovered the similarities and differences in the teaching methods of English writing at the secondary level of English medium and Bengali medium schools in Bangladesh. Students and teachers of twelve schools in Dhaka participated in the survey. Data was collected using a questionnaire, interviews, and focus group discussions. Findings show how most of the teachers and students in every medium focused on accuracy of structure and content development rather than the process of writing. Finally, this study suggests some common teaching strategies for improving the writing skills of EFL learners, irrespective of mediums.
“The air we breathe, a forgotten colour”:
Authors: Mowtushi Mahruba T.
Published: June 2023

This essay revisits the years 1961-1963 through a selection of poems written by Rajat Neogy for Transition magazine. There is an inherent tension in Neogy’s surrealism between its imaginative exposé of symbolic planes of abstract existence, and the distressing reality of post-Independent Uganda for the Asian expatriates. Avant-garde and ambitious, Transition was founded by Neogy in 1961 as an intellectually autonomous forum for East African literary culture. The magazine’s cosmopolitan contributions reflected the cosmopolitan ambience of Kampala. Born in Kampala in 1938 to East Bengali immigrant parents, Neogy’s writings are influenced by and reflect the anxieties of the expatriate communities unsure about their identity and status in the post-Independent scheme of things.
Bangladeshi Literature in English:
Authors: Mortuza Shamsad
Published: June 2023

Bangladeshi literature in English is marked by several interconnected transitions. Beginning with the two hundred-year British rule in India, followed by the birth of the midnight twins, India and Pakistan, and the eventual independence of Bangladesh makes the position of English literature in Bangladesh a curious one. With nationalistic politics on the rise, the strategic interests in language as a cultural and identity marker shifted towards Bangla. The currency gained by the mother tongue is no accident as the birth of the new nation cannot be separated from its struggle for Bangla as a state language while under Pakistani rule. The literary culture in Bangladesh, thus, evolved in parallel with these changes.

The paper traces the various influences coming from colonization, imperialism, political issues and globalization that have contributed to the formulation of the language policies of these countries.
The Folding Screen of Kitsch
Authors: Kabir Shahnewaz
Published: June 2023

Kitsch, a relatively recent concept in Western art and literature, has given birth to a great deal of debate and discussion. Owing to a variety of descriptions it is difficult to define it. Nevertheless, it can be characterized by discussing the impacts it creates over the audience. Milan Kundera. in his novel The Unbeatable Lightness of Being, has addressed the features of Kitsch by being quite faithful to the political reality of the West. However, he has taken efforts to explain them through the development of individual psychology in a social context. This paper examines how the supposed features of Kitsch surface through the experiences of a specific persona in the novel. The examination suggests, arguably of course, that Kundera’s attempts to elucidate Kitsch experiences involve aesthetic misrepresentation leaving far reaching impact on social or political structure.
Kaiser Haq:
Authors: Hasan Sheikh Mehedi
Published: June 2023

Like most of the noteworthy South Asian poets writing in English. Kaiser Haq has moved away from traditional verse from and stereotypical themes. He has been articulating his cultural identity uniquely in the context of Bangladesh—a third world country afflicted with poverty, hunger, floods, tornados, political turmoil and recently corruption—with a treasure house of distinctive poetic images tinged with a sense of irony and humour. This paper explores various aspects of Kaiser Haq’s poetry with special emphasis on the poems dealing with cultural duality inherited from the colonial presence in the Indian subcontinent. In some of the poems, Haq deliberately uses colonial Babu English-inflected and distinctive idioms, non-stop use of the continuous tense and expressions shaped and affected by the first language of a colonial subject only to ‘mock’ the colonial legacy that we more or less still bear. Besides, his ironic stand while critiquing the colonial burden in his society affirms his existence as a postcolonial poet. Another notable aspect of Haq’s poetry is how he clings to his oi.vn cultural reality by refusing to join the immigration queue and become a Diaspora writer. The paper also focuses on his ironic portrayal of the political system existing in the postcolonial Bangladesh. In fact, the paper tries to discover how poetry can bear witness-instead of creating ego-centred lyrical vivacity-to a social system where language, politics, culture and custom are reshaped or reconstructed by different aspects of postcoloniality.
'What's Cooking?'- Cookery and Creativity in The Mistress of Spices, Serving Crazy with Curry and Book of Rachel
Authors: Khushu-Lahiri Rajyashree , Rao Shweta
Published: June 2023

The staggering amount of fiction written on food lately has brought kitchen activity out of the undercover of domesticity and, as a result. food and fiction on food is becoming a high art form. We propose to intervene critically and probe into the politics of representation governing this literary genre. We have two propositions in the paper; first’ fictionalising food is a part of feminist narrative, wherein essentially women’s experiences (physical, psychological and social life within the domestic domain allotted to them by patriarchal/matriarchal conventions) acquire their due literary space. Second, depiction of food in contemporary women’s writings serves a number of purposes, the most crucial being self– referentiality. Writers consciously bestow upon food images the dual role of underscoring their indigenous cultural ethos as well as of validating their identity as creative writers. The written text becomes analogous to the food prepared through culinary endeavours within the text. Thus, food gains I metonymic dimension and cookery is exalted to the echelon of creative writing. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Mistress of Spices (1997), Amulya Malladi’s Serving Crazy with Curry (2004) and Esther David’s Book of Rachel (2006) are fictions on food that interrogate and negotiate the ethnic, sexual and creative identities of the protagonists and their creators.

Darwin, Cognition and Literary Evocations of the Mind:
Authors: Rabbani Golam
Published: June 2023

William Faulkner is one of the American writers who does not clearly and easily make the case for the significance of ideas in his fiction but argues that his literature is not inimical to ideas. It flourishes upon ideas, but it does not present ideas partly and neatly. It involves them with the “recalcitrant stuff of life,” and it is the literary critic’ job to deal with that involvement. Sensibility to contemporary movements in science is a literary, prerequisite, and Faulkner, in particular, understood the need for “interdisciplinarity, ” which he fulfilled with his notions of evolution. There are notable manifestations of Darwinian ethos in his literature, and Requiem for a Nun stands ahead to present his notions of evolution. This paper analyzes the evolutionary ideas through the explanation of cultural aid societal evolution embedded in the text. The transformation of textual spaces and transition of fictional minds in Faulkner’s fiction seem to align with David Herman’s notion of “modernist authors” and Jakob Johann von Uexküll’s idea of umwelt. Therefore, this paper studies the evolutionary consciousness of the text through Herman and Uexküll’s perspectives’

An Acculturation Model Based on Motivation for Foreign Language Learning in Bangladesh
Authors: Selim Subarna , Monjur Sababa
Published: June 2023

As an international language, English has enormous popularity worldwide and undeniably, even in Bangladesh, students are taught English as a foreign language for 12 years before they are enrolled in undergraduate programs. However, the students still fail to show any level of excellence as would be expected after studying the language for such a long time. Motivation is factor that can contribute to improvement of foreign language acquisition. Traditional teaching does not adequately address this issue. This paper examines the complex yet closely connected relationship between motivation and attitude regarding English language learning among the students of Bangladesh University who are currently in their undergraduate programs in English Language and Literature. An adapted version of Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) is used to conduct a survey as the study is based on quantitative research techniques. The aim of this study is to focus on theoretical knowledge to explore the extent to which motivation under a controlled environment and close observation can help students in learning English as a foreign language.
The Curious Case of Kafka’s “Odradek”:
Authors: Mortuza Shamsad
Published: June 2023

Franz Kafka’s “The Cares of a Family Man” is a narrative riddle that has created an interpretive frenzy. Central to the discussion of the short story is Odradek, a wooden bobbin, which veers between being human and nonhuman. The transgression of identity is informed by an assemblage that makes Odradek a character that is both social and anti-social. Kafka presents this character as a bricolage between the sacred and the profane. More importantly, it is connected to some threads which can be identified as a metaphor for narrative. This paper considers various interpretations of Odradek and compares it with the culture hero, the trickster. AlthoughOdradek is a modernist figure that responds to the angst of the Europe after the Great War, I shall argue that it can be considered as a marginal figure trickster that continuously asserts the need for continuance and survival.
The Need for “Needs Analysis”:
Authors: Mahmudul Haque Mohammad
Published: June 2023

This study evaluates a tertiary level English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course titled “Introduction to Academic Reading and Writing” (ENG 102) offered at a Bangladeshi private university. It begins with an “environment analysis” section identifying the possible constraints of the curriculum, followed by a “needs analysis” section. For the latter, a questionnaire survey has been developed for its various stakeholders, namely “language teachers,”“content area teachers,”“students,” and an administrator. The questionnaire addresses issues like “course goals,”“expectations from the course,”“learning and teaching of various reading and speaking sub skills,” and so on. In addition, test scores and students’ writing samples have been analyzed to identify various writing issues faced by the students. Finally, all the data collected have been triangulated to shed light on them from various standpoints by the above mentioned stakeholders, and thereby to avoid any perspectival bias. The results of the student questionnaire indicate that students need to improve reading sub skills like “skimming” and “scanning,” and writing sub skills like writing a “topic sentence” or“thesis statement”. The results of the language teacher questionnaire indicate that higher order reading sub skills like “inferring,” “synthesizing,” and “text organization,” have not been adequately covered in the present curriculum. The results of the content teacher questionnaire are similar to those of the language teachers in terms of “inferring,” and “text organization” skills, whereas the results of the administrator’s questionnaire are partially similar to those of both language and content teacher questionnaires, revealing that the present syllabus does not adequately cover either the lower or higher order reading or writing sub skills. In response to these findings, the present study proposes extensive revision of the existing curriculum in that it should emphasize the sub skills that have been identified above. Moreover, the study highly recommends the use of a wide variety of local as well as foreign materials (both prepared and authentic) to meaningfully engage the students in various language related activities.

Un episodio en la configuración de la ciudad humanista de Écija (Sevilla) durante el Quinientos. Juan de Ochoa y el proyecto de la Fuente de las Ninfas
Authors: Luque Carrillo Juan
Published: June 2023

In 2010, the Andalusian Institute of Historical Heritage restored one of the most interesting documents kept in the municipal archives of Écija (Sevilla): the drawing with the project of the disappeared Fountain of the Nymphs which, since 1606 until 1866, presided over the town square of Spain, next to the town hall and other government buildings. The document corresponds to a copy of the original model designed by Juan de Ochoa, where its physiognomy, type of composition and rich mythological iconographic program can be appreciated. The recent review of the Écija archive documents the intervention of the architect and the development of the monumental work at the end of the 16th Century and the beginning of the 17th Century.

Bodegón con cofre de ébano de Antonio Pereda: una exposición de la cultura material del chocolate en la España moderna
Authors: Ruiz López María Pilar
Published: June 2023

The discovery of the New World was a gastronomic revolution. Chocolate was the food that was introduced with the greatest speed in Spanish society, permeating from the elites to the popular classes. Around this delicacy there are a series of nutritional, aesthetic and sociocultural connotations that intensify it in the protagonist of many moments of daily life. At the beginning of the 17th century, Spanish artists began to make still-lifes, satisfying the demand for collecting, which was already occurring in the rest of Europe. The "chocolate still-lifes" responded to this interest, since works that resulted from the aesthetic avant-garde were valued. This article, through Antonio Pereda's Still-life with an Ebony Chest (1652), compares and analyzes the works of other masters, during the 17th and 18th centuries, who also chose this unique food as the main theme, along with its exclusive material culture that participated in commercial globalization, gestated in the Modern Age.

El descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo supuso una revolución gastronómica. El chocolate fue uno de los alimentos que se introdujo con mayor velocidad en la sociedad española, permeándose desde las élites hasta las clases populares. Este manjar está rodeado de una serie de connotaciones nutricionales, estéticas y socioculturales que lo convirtieron en protagonista de muchos momentos de la vida cotidiana. A principios del XVII, los artistas españoles comenzaron a realizar naturalezas muertas satisfaciendo la demanda coleccionista, que ya se daba en el resto de Europa. Los “bodegones del chocolate” respondían a este interés, pues se valoraban las obras que resultaban producto de la vanguardia estética. Este artículo, a través de Bodegón con cofre de ébano (1652) de Antonio Pereda, compara y analiza las representaciones de otros maestros, que durante los siglos XVII y XVIII, también escogieron a este singular alimento junto a su exclusiva cultura material que participaba de la globalización comercial, gestada en la Edad Moderna.

С тим у вези, математичке игре препознате су као значајно средство и алат који доприноси развоју саз- нања кроз образовни процес, посебно у почетном математичком образовању. Полазећи од анализе теоријских и практичних истраживања, у раду су сагле- дане могућности примене игара у почетној настави математике као подршка унапређивању квалитета процеса учења и наставе математике. Позитивно емпиријски евалуирани модели потврђују значајан утицај математичких ига- ра на поспешивање интересовања и мотивације ученика у разредној настави математике, што упућује на оправдану претпоставку даљих импликација на квалитет исхода учења програмских садржаја.
Humor as a deconstruction tool in the work of David Lynch
Authors: Seleznev Evgenii Kirillovich
Published: June 2023

The author of the work raises the question of the role of humor in the context of David Lynch's work. The author argues that the director's humor is one of the few conventional director's tools that can be categorized and studied in detail. The author explains this degree of “simplicity” of the director’s humor phenomenon by the author’s conscious strategy of introducing “known” elements into the works to establish communication with the viewer and their subsequent deconstruction to break the automatic perception and create a situation of “anxious viewing”. The author also explains the emergence of a situation of "anxiety" in Lynch's works by the fact that in the process of deconstruction the director mixes various discourses, connecting "funny" and "creepy", "known" and "unknown", "sublime" and "base". The key thesis of the work is the idea that humor, as Lynch's directorial tool, is used not only to entertain the audience or relieve them after dark scenes, but also to challenge their expectations, question classical narratives and explore taboo aspects of the human being experience. The object of the study is the cinema of David Lynch: films, series and short films of the director. The subject of the research is the phenomenon of humor in the context of David Lynch's creativity. The purpose of the work is to answer the question of how humor contributes to the processes of demythologizing a number of phenomena in American culture, deconstructing classic Hollywood narratives in the director's films and creating a sense of "anxiety" in the viewer. The novelty of the study lies in the conclusion of humor in a separate category and its separation from other strategies of the director: hyper-narratives, the process of absurdization of screen action, postmodern intertextuality.
Concepts of BLINDNESS, LOVE, VIRTUE in the Artistic World of A. Zhid (Based on the Material of A. Gide's Novels "The Narrow Gate" and "Pastoral Symphony"
Authors: Glazkova Marina Mikhailovna
Published: June 2023

The subject of the research is the novels of the French writer Andre Gide "The Narrow Gate" and "The Pastoral Symphony". The specificity of the expression of the author's thought in these stories through conceptual antinomies is noted, as a result of which the study of the concepts of BLINDNESS, LOVE, VIRTUE is actualized. The semantic content of the stated concepts is analyzed, which is carried out on the basis of their definitions in dictionaries and biblical texts. Their representatives are observed, creating a semantic field of the concepts of BLINDNESS, LOVE, VIRTUE, introduced by the author into the composition and plot of works and representing the author's interpretation. On the basis of the revealed meanings and antinomy of these basic concepts for every Christian, their function in the stories is revealed. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the work of A. Zhid from the point of view of the use of concepts is insufficiently studied. The main conclusions of the study are the following. The concepts of BLINDNESS, LOVE, and VIRTUE have a traditional semantic fullness that has developed in centuries-old Christian discourse, but the writer demonstrates the displacement of their evangelical content due to the emergence of new interpretations associated with the spiritual crisis of society. With the help of the introduction of these antinomic concepts into the story, the writer organizes the artistic space of works: they determine the choice of confessional genre, saturation of stories with allusions, reminiscences and intertexts from biblical texts, the use of these concepts to organize the implicitness and explicitness of the narrative. Concepts perform the functions of characterization of heroes, epochs and expression of the author's position.
How microscopic epistasis and clonal interference shape the fitness trajectory in a spin glass model of microbial long-term evolution

Published: June 2023

The adaptive dynamics of evolving microbial populations takes place on a complex fitness landscape generated by epistatic interactions. The population generically consists of multiple competing strains, a phenomenon known as clonal interference. Microscopic epistasis and clonal interference are central aspects of evolution in microbes, but their combined effects on the functional form of the population’s mean fitness are poorly understood. Here, we develop a computational method that resolves the full microscopic complexity of an evolving population subject to a standard serial dilution protocol. We find that stronger microscopic epistasis gives rise to fitness trajectories with slower growth independent of the number of competing strains, which we quantify with power-law fits and understand mechanistically via a random walk model that neglects dynamical correlations between genes. We show that clonal interference leads to fitness trajectories with faster growth (in functional form) without microscopic epistasis, but has a negligible effect when epistasis is sufficiently strong, indicating that the role of clonal interference depends intimately on the underlying fitness landscape.

Published: June 2023

Common clinical findings around dental implants are hard and soft tissue defects requiring interventions for functional and aesthetic purposes. Interventions include hard as well as soft tissue augmentation. Present case management included subepithelial connective tissue grafting with modification of lateral pouch graft procedure, avoiding the vertical incisions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of this modified procedure. A 24-year-old female patient was referred by the prosthodontist for soft tissue augmentation after implant placement with respect to #24. With the consent of patient, subepithelial connective tissue graft was placed using modified lateral pouch graft procedure. Patient was evaluated at three months. Adequate soft tissue thickness was obtained with satisfactory results. This modified pouch graft procedure is expected to provide better aesthetic results. This procedure can be best utilised for small horizontal ridge defects. This is a novel approach for soft tissue augmentation without using vertical incisions thus providing better aesthetic results. Further studies are suggested regarding the long term success of the procedure.

Aim: The need for formulating and developing smart baby-led weaning (BLW) foods from millet, soybean and ripe banana flour blends as alternative complementary foods inspired this study, which had no documentation in literatures.

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Food Technology, Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi, Nigeria from June 2022 to January 2023.

Methodology: Smart BLW foods were formulated from millet, soybean and ripe banana flour blends and coded as WMF (100% whole millet flour), MSB1 (60% millet; 20% soybean; 20% ripe banana) and MSB2 (50% millet; 30% soybean; 20% ripe banana). The sensory, proximate and mineral compositions of the foods formulated were compared with those of commercial weaning food (CWF).

Results: MSB1 and MSB2 competed favourably with CWF in terms of texture, general acceptability, colour, aroma and taste attributes with high negative deviation most noticeable in WMF (P < 0.05), and exhibited acceptable shelf-life and stability. The ash contents ranged from 1.16±0.02% (WMF) to 2.83±0.02% (MSB2). Increase in fat content in MSB1 to CWF was ≈534%, MSB2 to CWF was ≈492%, MSB1 to WMF was ≈385% and MSB2 to WMF was ≈353% while their protein abundances were in the ratios 1:3.6 for CWF:MSB1, 1:5.9 for CWF:MSB2, 1:2.4 for MWF:MSB1 and 1:3.9 for MWF:MSB2. Generally, MSB1 and MSB2 were appropriate sources of Na, K, Ca, Mg and Zn compared to CWF and WMF in providing adequate intake (AI) and recommended daily allowance (RDA) of these minerals in both infants and children in the age classes of 0-6 months, 7-12 months and 1-3 years.

Conclusion: MSB1 and MSB2 exhibited better intrinsic properties than WMF when compared with CWF. MSB1, however had better general performances than MSB2 and therefore, was recommended as the best smart BLW food formulation from this research.
