Tourism Consumption Trends Changing and Tourism Promotion After the Outbreak of Covid-19
Authors: Somrak Witsathit , Khaewmesuan Rathirat
Published: December 2022

The COVID-19 outbreak has caused an unprecedented health crisis, had a significant economic impact on many worldwide sectors and transformed the tourism sector to unprecedented levels. Also, create new challenges and new development paths. The main findings show that online information sources gained weight over consulting friends and relatives. Except for specialised and advisory services, a significant advance in digitisation is expected, where online platforms will displace physical travel agencies. Additionally, technologies such as applications, e-payment, online check-in/out, and artificial intelligence (AI) may play an increasingly important role in the long term. Each trip is a self-organised “traveller” who fewer purchases a journey from the tour service provider “tourist”. Natural-based tourism, such as slow tourism, eco-tourism and adventure tourism, becomes the primary tourism forms. Marketing and promotional communications in safety, flexibility and hospitality that emphasise the understanding ofpersonal risk and epidemic prevention stimulate the interest of tourists’ “tourists’ motivation”

Şâir Bir Sahâbî: Abbâs b. Mirdâs es-Sülemî
Authors: VURAN Hasan
Published: December 2022

Tebliğ vazifesini yakın akrabasından başlayarak yerine getiren Hz. Muhammed’in (s.a.s.) daveti, kısa bir sürede tüm Arabistan’ı kuşatmış, ilerleyen dönemlerde de yarımadanın dışındaki topraklara ulaşmıştır. İslam’ın tanıtılması ve yayılmasında Hz. Peygamber’in (s.a.s.) eğitiminden geçmiş olan sahâbenin büyük payı vardır. Bu itibarla sahâbe hayatlarının öğrenilmesi önem arz etmektedir. Ne var ki sahâbîlerin tamamı aynı derecede tarihe konu olmamıştır. Kimisinin hayatı tüm yönleriyle aksederken bazıları ise nisbî bilgilerle anlatılmıştır. Benî Süleym kabilesi reislerinden Abbâs b. Mirdâs da hayatı hakkında çok fazla bilgi bulunmayan sahâbîlerdendir. Onun hayatı incelendiğinde İslam’ı kabulün bir an, ancak onu idrakin bir süreç olduğu görülmektedir. Nitekim Abbâs b. Mirdâs, Mekke’nin fethi öncesi Müslüman olmuş, daha sonra Hz. Peygamber’le (s.a.s.) beraber savaşlara katılmış, ancak ganimet taksiminde payına razı olmayıp taksimata itiraz ederek kendisine de Müellefe-i Kulûb kapsamındaki kabile reislerine tevdi edilen yüklü miktardan verilmesini istemiştir. Sergilediği bu davranış İslam hassasiyetinden ziyade kabile asabiyetiyle örtüşmektedir. Zira kabilesinin reisi olan Abbâs b. Mirdâs, diğer mevkidaşlarından aşağı görüldüğünü düşünerek hoşnutsuzluğunu dile getirmiştir. Zikredilen hadise, Abbâs b. Mirdâs’ın, İslam’ı kabulünün hemen akabinde gerçekleşmiştir. Daha sonraları ise o, Hz. Peygamber’in (s.a.s.) kendisine tevdi ettiği çeşitli görevleri hakkıyla yerine getirmiş ve onunla birlikte gazvelere iştirak etmiştir. Hz. Muhammed’in (s.a.s.) vefatından sonra da irtidat düşüncesi içinde olan kabile fertlerine karşı İslam’ı müdafaa etmiş ve onların Ridde hadiselerine katılmalarını önlemeye çalışmıştır. Her ne kadar bu hususta başarılı olamasa da Abbâs b. Mirdâs’ın çabası onun asabiyet taassubundan kurtulduğunu göstermektedir. Sahâbînin hayatı bütünüyle ele alındığında insandaki değişimlerin zaman aldığı dolayısıyla İslam’ın kalplere yerleşmesinin de tedricen olduğu görülecektir.

Research methodology. To achieve the goal of the study we conducted linear research, which included: studying the state of development of reading skills (as a basic element of learning) as students of 5th (N = 143) and 9th (N = 140) grades of secondary school; studying students' ideas about the role of the textbook in the development of reading skills 8th and 9th grades, N = 154); analysis of the need and possibilities of expanding the information and functional field of textbooks by means of information technology in the context of the development of readers' literacy. To conduct the study, the authors used veloped and tested tests to assess readers and a questionnaire using the Likert method. Statistical research methods were used to process the results. Conclusion. According to the results of the research, shortcomings in the reading skills of students of both 5th and 9th grades were identified and analyzed. The results of the survey allowed us to conclude that students recognize the significant role of the textbook in the formation of reading literacy, but at the same time there is a need to expand the information and functional field of the textbook. The authors have proposed some technologies to expand the information and functional field of the textbook as a means of developing reading skills, but their testing should be the subject of further research.

The domestic Pigeons (Columbia livia domestica) are hardy birds that can be raised with little effort. They are able to survive in hostile climates and fend for themselves, often ranging over many kilometers in attempt to locate seeds and edible scraps. In Nigeria pigeons are well distributed in the different agro-ecological zones of the country. In Benue State and indeed Nigeria, the available domestic pigeon population is largely genetically and phenotypically uncharacterized. Considering this fact, the present study was conducted on Comprehensive Description of Body Shapes, Sizes and Plumage Colorations of Domestic Pigeons in Benue State, Nigeria. Field data collection phase of the study was carried out through combined use of questionnaire and fortnightly visits for a period of six months. A total of sixty pigeon farmers and three hundred domestic pigeons were covered during the survey. Mature body weights were measured to the nearest grammes on all the adult birds covered during the field data phase using a 5kg capacity weighing scale. Plumage, beak and shank colourations/colour patterns were measured via visual observations during the two phases of the experiment. Body, shank, beak, thigh and wing lengths and breast girth were measured at maturity using a graduated linear scale (rule) and tailor’s tape. Bird height (from leg on the ground up to the level of the back of the bird) was also measured. Qualitative data collected were subjected to descriptive statistics such as percentages and averages, while the data quantitative (economics) traits were analyzed through the use of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique and correlation analysis based on the SPSS II programme. Ash plumage predominated other colours, constituting 16.94% of all the observed plumage colours. This was closely followed by brown (12.78%), black (12.22%) and white (12.22%) with black and grey colour being the rarely observed (1.39%). About 56% of the pigeons surveyed had muffed feet (feathered feet). The overall mean weight of 326.63±1.69 for male and 312.25±1.83 for female pigeons kept on semi-intensive system is slightly lower. In terms of morphological traits, the pigeons demonstrated a great deal of variations and complexities in plumage, shank and beak colourations. The variations observed in other quantitative traits such as linear body measurements (body, shank and beak lengths breast girth and bird height) revealed no significant difference ((P>0.05).

A study was conducted in selected areas of Dahod and Kheda districts of middle Gujarat to study the socio-economic profile and constraints faced by goat keepers in goat rearing and the data was collected from randomly selected 240 goat keepers through personal interview with the help of pre-tested structured schedule. The present study revealed that majority of the goat keepers (64.58%) belonged to middle age having primary level of education. It is found that majority of the goat keepers belonged to other backward class (42.92%) followed by schedule caste (30.0%) and schedule tribe (27.08%). About 50.83 per cent of the goat keepers lived with up to 5 family members followed by more than 5 family members (49.17%). Majority of the goat keepers engaged in agriculture and labor work with goat rearing as subsidiary occupation for their livelihood. More than three fifth (62.0%) of the goat keepers had 11 to 20 years of experience in goat farming. Maximum goat keepers found marginal land holders and landless type. Majority of the goat keepers maintained 6-15 no. of goats and had annual income between Rs.25001-50000. Most of the goat keepers (92.50%) had no membership in any organization, having poor extension contact and very low level of mass media exposure. Major managemental constraints faced by the goat keepers in the study area were the non-availability of quality breeding buck (ranked I), farmers did not allow harvest fields for grazing (ranked II) and lack of technical guidance (ranked III). Whereas the non-availability of proper established goat market channel (ranked I), over-exploitation by middlemen or agents (ranked II), high transport cost (ranked III) due to far away market (ranked IV) were found the major marketing related constraints faced by goat keepers in goat rearing. Moreover, the predators’ problem during night time (ranked I), low literacy rate (ranked II), money crisis (ranked III) and theft losses during night time due to interior remote area (ranked IV) were found the major constraints related to socio-economic conditions perceived by the goat keepers in goat rearing.

Baksa district of Assam is bestowed with rich soil and suitable climate that favours the growth of paddy cultivation. Although a sizeable portion of rural community is engaged in paddy farming, yet the production is not satisfactory which might be due to traditional method of cultivation. As the district is tribal dominated, therefore, the study strives to explore the adoption behaviour of both tribal and non- tribal paddy growers. A total of 101 respondents (59 non-tribal and 42 tribal farmers) were considered as the final sample by proportionate random sampling method. The findings revealed that above sixty five percent of total farmers had overall medium adoption level. However, (52.54%) of non- tribal and 69.04 per cent tribal farmers exhibited medium level of adoption. The “t value” was found to be significant. Factors such as annual income and occupational status of the farmers had a positive and significant association with the extent of adoption. Further, these significant and nearly significant variables were taken for Tobit analysis to find the influence of these factors on extent of adoption, where none of the factors showed a positive and significant contribution towards adoption process.

The majority of people in India depend on agriculture and related industries for their livelihood, but this is insufficient to meet their needs or raise their families standards of living. The Indian government has been developing and promoting Farmer Producer Organizations by bringing together small and marginal farmers in an effort to improve the standard of living for rural residents. It will address issues like high production costs, restricted credit availability, weak market integration, and inadequate storage. The country currently has 5000 FPOs built and promoted by a variety of organisations, including NABARD, SFAC, state governments, NGOs, etc. Any FPO may be registered under a variety of legal forms, including Producer Companies, Co-operatives, and others. A total of 7374 producer companies with 4.3 million small producers were registered as of March 31st, 2019. The data showed that the Indian government and other organisations were putting a lot of effort into enhancing rural livelihoods through FPOs. The members of FPOs have more income, employment, savings, knowledge, technologies, processing, transport, market and storage facilities than the non-FPO members. It may be beneficial to develop rural areas and their means of subsistence.

Front line demonstration is an actual and suitable tool to determine recommended technologies among the farmers field. Krishi Vigyan Kendra, JAU, Amreli conducted 30 demonstrations on integrated nutrient management in cotton during 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 in the villages of Amreli district. The study found, the yield of cotton in IP under irrigated conditions ranges from 12.20 to 19.58 q/ha whereas in FP it ranges between 11.00 to 17.61 q/ha. The per cent increase in yield with IP over FP was recorded in the range of 10.9 to 16.6 %. The technology gap, extension gap and technological index were ranging from 5.4 to 12.8 q/ha, 1.2 to 2.5 and 21.7 to 51.2 per cent, respectively. The trend of technology gap reflected the farmer’s cooperation in carrying out integrated nutrient management demonstrations with encouraging results in subsequent years. The cost benefit ratio was 3.0 to 3.59 under INM demonstration, while it was 2.27 to 2.70 under control plots. By conducting front line demonstration of proven technologies, yield potential of cotton crop under INM could be enhanced to a great extent with increase in the income level of the farming community.

National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) is a network project of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) aiming to enhance resilience of Indian agriculture to climate change and climate vulnerability through strategic research and technology demonstration. Various climate smart technologies has been diffused amongst tribal farmers to mitigate climate changes in terms of very heavy rainfall, frequent and long dry spells, high humidity etc. The present study was thus, undertaken to assess the impact of the interventions of the climate resilient technologies introduced under the NICRA Project on farm productivity and income of the farmers. The total sample size consists of 160 farmers comprising of 80 participants farmers and 80 non-participants farmers from non-project area. The mean rice productivity of participant farmers (3315.56 kg/ha) was higher than that of the non-participant farmers (2395.32 kg/ha). The difference between the mean level of farm income of participant and non-participant farmers was Rs.37419.80. Findings, therefore, indicated that the project interventions had a significant positive impact on the farm income of the participant farmers.
