A pot experiment was conducted to study the influence of calcium and potassium on nutrient availability in soils. Calcium was applied in two forms and at two levels and potassium at four levels in two soils viz., alluvial and rod soils with groundnut as fest crop. The study revealed that of the two soils, alluvial soil had greater availability of P. K. Ca and Mg than red soil. The interactions were observed to be favourable in certain instances and antagonistic in others between the soil nutrients and applied K and Ca. As for instance, available P in alluvial soil was significantly increased by gypsum treatment. Available Ca registered an increase after flowering stage and a sharp decline at post harvest stage, indicating the utilisation of Ca for fructification and this implied that increased availability of Ca at this juncture would possibly lead to greater utilisation and crop yield.

Experiments were conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore in summers of 1974 and 1975 to study the effect of irrigation at critical stages of growth in sorghum. In both the seasons, irrigation at 50 percent available moisture was found to give the highest yield but in areas of limited water supply irrigation at seedling. vegetative flowering and grain formation stages in addition to the sowing irrigation can be adopted without very much loss in yield. Skipping irrigation at the seedling stage affected esta blishment and growth of the crop.

The fifteen clay samples separated from the four major soil groups of Tamil Nadu. the black, red, alluvial and laterite soils were subjected to dehydration ana- lysis. The ratio of adsorbed water to crystal-lattice water obtained from dehydra- tion data served as a reliable indicator for characterization of the soil group. Besides. certain categories of water from dehydration data were found to be significantly related to cation exchange capacity of soil clays, so much so characterization of soil clay and groups from dehydration data could form a most reliable basis.

The effect of three organophosphorus insecticides, viz. fensulfothion, quinalphos and disulfoton on the microflora of a red loamy soil and growth characteristics of ground- nut (POL 1 variety) was assessed in a field trial. The insecticides favoured increases in bacteria. actinomycetes and Azotobacter but not fungi. However, the affect of insecticides on various groups of soil microflora varied with time. Nodulation, shoot and root length and dry weight of plants were not adversely affected by the application of organophos- phorus granular insecticides to the soil. However, yield of pads decreased when soil was treated with quinalphos. But application of fensulfathion and disulfoton increased the pod yield.

Mutation breading research in redgram (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) has resulted in the development of a high yielding mutant S. 18 (Co. 3), suitable for cultivation under rainfed and irrigated conditions. Its duration is 130 days. On an average, it records 13 quintals and 12 quintals per hectare under irrigated and rainfed sowings which works out the per day production to 9.8 kg/ha and 9.1 kg/ha respectively. It is most suitable for dryland culture during June-July and also for irrigated cultivation during February. A special advantage of Co. 3 is its resistance to root rot and tolerance to wilt and pod borers.

Experiments were conducted to study the correlated effects of major nutrients on the dry matter production and seed cotton yield on the variety 'Suvin (G. borbadense Linn.) In relation to row, plant spacing and nitrogen. Under normal conditions of growth the nutrient absorption by individual plants was least affected by population density. The quantum of N. P and K removed per unit area was found to be inversely related to plant spacing.. Dry matter production and seed cotton yield were directly related to the levels of N supplied and inversely to increased plant spacings. Yield capacity, dry matter efficiency.. nitrogen capacity and nitrogen efficiency values were higher under 75 x 30 cm spacing with 80 kg N/ha. The analysis of direct and indirect affects showed that K and dry matter exerted maximum direct effects and, N and P maximum indirect effects via K on seed cotton yield.

Field experiments were laid out with chilli varieties namely K. 1, B. 24-A2, 618-14. C63-A5 and Local Gundu, with graded doses of nitrogen, ie: 30. 60, 90, 120 and 150 kg per ha with control. Phosphorus and potash were kept constant at the level of 35 kg in each. Nitrogen was applied in two split doses on 30th and 60th day after transplanting The pooled analysis showed that not much differenca was found among the varieties except Local Gundu. The interaction between season and variety showed that B. 24-A2 was high yielding in summer season. Local Gundu has recorded significantly lower yields. There was progressive increase of yield of dry pads with increase in nitrogen level. The treatment receiving 150 kg N recorded an yield of 1749 kg dry pods per ha which works out a mone- tary return of Rs. 5865/- per ha compared to Rs. 885/- in the control.

Attempts were made to develop suitable techniques for continuous mass rearing of gall midges and screening of varieties under artificial infestation in greenhouse conditions. Studies on the biology showed that majority of the gall midge males and females emerged before and after mid-night, respectively. There was a distinct perference to leaf sheath and leaf blade than the auricle for ovi-position. The total period taken from egg to adult emergence was 23 to 25 days, except during the cooler months. Infestation of 120 seedlings at 12 to 15 days age with 10 females and 5 males of gall midge was found adequate and rapid for mass screening of the varieties. Resistance of some of the rice cultures/varieties to gall midge was confirmed under green-house conditions.

Eight improved genotypes of rice of early, short and medium duration were assos- sail for the tolerance of delayed planting of the seedlings in two different seasons. Planting aged seedlings resulted in increase in field duration and reduction in grain yielle. The field duration was increased in all the varieties by 5 to 10 days for avery 10 days of delayed planting. The decrease in yield ranged from 2 to 50 per cent in short duration and from 4 to 41 per cent in medium duration varieties as compared to the performance of 20 days old seedlings. An evaluation of the yield components brought out decrease in the menn expression of yield components. There was a marked difference between the genotypes as a whole as also bet ween genotypes of different duration groups. Among the genotypes studied. ADT 31 and IR 20 exhibited considerably less differences between seedlings of different ages in their performance and showed tolerance for delayed plantings. The studies indicate possibilties of screening and developing genotypes that could be tolerant for delayed planting especially in certain agroclimatic regions where constraints prevail over planting in proper age of nursery.

Published: October 2023

The prevalence of intra-uterine dysfunction of ductus arteriosus is unknown and the clinical consequences are poorly understood. We report a case of prenatal diagnosis of premature closure of the ductus arteriosus due to maternal intake of metamizole during pregnancy. Fetal echocardiography at 37 weeks of gestation revealed a right ventricular hypertrophy and suspected stenosis of the tricuspid valve. A cesarean section led to an excellent neonatal outcome. The aim of this report is to show echocardiographic abnormalities and outcomes of this rare phenomenom.
"Our Cruel Polish Brothers": Moroccan Jews between Casablanca and Wadi Salib, 1956–59
Authors: Hazkani Shay
Published: October 2023

Abstract: This article reconsiders three years in the lives of Jews in Morocco and their families who chose to immigrate to Israel. Relying on private correspondence between Moroccan Jews in Israel and in Morocco that was secretly intercepted by the Israeli intelligence apparatus, I argue that Moroccan Jews in Israel underwent a major process of radicalization between Moroccan independence in 1956 and the Moroccan uprising in Israel in 1959, known as the Wadi Salib revolt. In the Moroccan-Israeli case, Moroccan Jews introduced race into the Israeli discourse, and sought to leverage this discourse for a redistribution of resources, primarily among Jews. This radicalization initially developed against the backdrop of the Moroccan struggle for independence against French colonialism; however, other anticolonial and antiracist struggles of the 1950s were also influential. Thus, the prevailing assessment of the Wadi Salib revolt solely as "an Israeli event" diminishes the longer trajectories of Moroccan radicalization.
Between "Ḥarat al-Yahud" and "Paris on the Nile": Social Mobility and Urban Culture among Jews in Twentieth-Century Cairo
Authors: Tam Alon
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In this article I examine out-migration from old Cairo's Ḥarat al-Yahud (The Jews' Alley) to that city's urban expansions in the late nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth. This migration was coupled with large-scale Jewish immigration to Cairo and intersected with its modern urban culture, which Jews shared with Muslim and Christian Cairenes. I argue that for Cairene Jews, these migrations, urban spaces, and regular itineraries within them held the promise of upward social mobility and integration into an urban middle-class culture that did not erase their Jewishness but removed it as a social barrier. This argument works against common narratives that saw Jewish Egyptians as foreigners living separately from Muslim Egyptians in another cultural milieu.
"That English Paper": Cannibals, Slaves, and Bits of Fun in Ulysses
Authors: Power Tristan
Published: October 2023

Abstract: The study of the "Circe" episode of Ulysses has been underserved with regard to one of its most significant sources, the sadomasochistic magazine Bits of Fun , which has never been fully examined. This source is followed more closely by Joyce in the novel's Bella/ Bello scene than has been realized, as well as in the "Ithaca" episode and Finnegans Wake . The exact issues that Joyce used have not yet been correctly identified, and the "Circe" notesheets have consequently been misdated. Joyce drew on Bits of Fun not only for his theme of forced feminization in this episode, but also for more extreme details of bondage and torture, including even cannibalism and slavery. Based on this source, the text of Joyce's early draft material in both his "Circe" notesheets and Ulysses notebooks should be emended in several places.
"I am other I now": Identity, Intertextuality, and Networks of Debt in Ulysses
Authors: Coogan Sarah
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Scholars acknowledge the significance of economics to James Joyce's Ulysses , but few have noted the pervasive significance of debt to the novel. Debt functions metaphorically as well as literally to organize competing networks of relationships within the novel. Using Caroline Levine's theory of forms to analyze the affordances of three such networks—financial debt, familial obligation, and duty to nation—provides a motivation for Stephen Dedalus's idiosyncratic financial decisions throughout the novel. Stephen's embrace of financial debt, while rejecting duty to family or country, reflects his desire for flexible relational modes, which afford greater self-determination. His quest for flexible networks of identity and relationship meets with ambiguous success. By contrast, Ulysses itself models a mode of intertextual debt that permits artistic self-creation.
New Reading: Notes on a Critical Phenomenology of Reading with Finnegans Wake
Authors: Goyal Shantam
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In reading James Joyce's Finnegans Wake , two of the many shapes that phenomenology as a method has taken during and since the twentieth century come to light. The first is its use in constructing phenomenologies of reading; the second, its use as a critique of its own methods in the form of critical phenomenology. Bringing these two strands together and using the Wake as an illustration can help us imagine what a critical phenomenology of reading might look like. The three sections following the introduction respectively "pilot" three forms of critiques of reading: the phenomenological, which is often purely descriptive and does not change our ways of reading; the critical-phenomenological, which can fall into absolute skepticism and ennui toward the text; and the one provisionally termed "new," which can be imaginative yet impossible as an academic exercise. Together, they speculate upon possibilities for new ways of bringing phenomenology into literary critique.
Quietism and Literary Creation
Authors: Brown Llewellyn
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In Still: Samuel Beckett's Quietism , Andy Wimbush examines Quietism, considered both as a practice and a perennial standpoint in religion and philosophy, showing it to have nourished Samuel Beckett's creation. It favored detachment from set models, and the acceptance of contradiction and incoherency. Thus, rather than leading to a search for solutions or solipsism, Wimbush argues, Beckett's mode of Quietism was turned toward maintaining the problematic nature of his literary constructions, highlighting tension and the absence of any solution. Quietism also offered Beckett the means to confront his own personal problems, including his bodily symptoms, in his aim to transform them into creation.
A Proposal for a Modest Modernism: A Review of Eliot and Beckett's Low Modernism by Rick de Villiers
Authors: Rabaté Jean-Michel
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Rick de Villiers combines close textual readings and theoretical contextualization to argue that T.S. Eliot and Samuel Beckett replace "high modernism" with a "low modernism" predicated on the dialectics of humility and humiliation. Moving between theological issues like Christ's kenosis, and the philosophy of self-effacement found in Arnold Geulincx, this subtle and informed book proves that the two writers gain by being read together, while modifying our sense of modernism as a whole.
Reflex Modernism
Authors: Gaedtke Andrew
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In Automatic: Literary Modernism and the Politics of Reflex , Timothy Wientzen explores an influential turn toward reflex in modernist literature and culture. Tracing early research on unconscious human behavior through the fields of experimental psychology, propaganda, advertising, and political theory, the book argues that a new politics of reflex emerged in the early decades of the twentieth century. Wientzen shows how this politicization of unthinking behavior shaped the form and content of work by several modernist writers and constitutes an instructive genealogy of our current political and cultural environment.
The Invisible Anikó Szenes
Authors: Pető Andrea
Published: October 2023

Abstract: This article discusses the circles of forgetting of the memory of Anikó (Hannah) Szenes (1921–1944) in Hungary, from the end of World War II through the illiberal turn in memory politics that began in the 2010s. This process of forgetting resulted in a canonized history of her life, highlighting different elements of her story in different periods while omitting other parts and condemning her to oblivion in postwar Hungary, her native land, where she spent 19 of her 23 years. These different memory circles are bound up with much-debated elements of twentieth-century Hungarian, European and Israeli history that intersect precisely in the narration of Szenes's tragically short life story. As a leftist, a Jew, a woman, a left-wing Zionist and a writer, Szenes was too much and too complex to digest for the traumatized postwar history of Hungarian Jewry, which rests on silencing and forgetting. I first present the methodological problems of gendered memory and then map the intersecting circles of forgetting of Szenes's life. I conclude by analyzing the memorial events in Hungary around the 100th anniversary of Szenes's birth in 2021 as an example of illiberal memory politics.
Continuity in Peirce's Lesson in Elocution: A Performance-based Approach
Authors: Fischer Iris Smith
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Peirce's "Lesson in Elocution" (written ca. 1892) provides insight into his ideas on continuity and community through his knowledge of performance cultures such as theatre, elocution, rhetoric, and declamation. This unpublished manuscript constitutes the extant part of an application Peirce drafted to the Episcopal Church's General Theological Seminary for the position of elocution instructor. Continuing Henry C. Johnson, Jr.'s account (published in Transactions [2006] vol. 42, no. 4) of the Lesson as evidence of Peirce's religious practices, this article explores the Lesson as demonstration of his performance knowledge and experience. What would Peirce have brought as philosopher and scientist to the teaching of elocution? Conversely, what did his performance knowledge bring to his work on continuity and community? Outlining significant differences between Peirce's semiotic approach and that of the Seminary's then-current instructor, Francis Thayer Russell, the article argues, employing selected performance theory concepts, that performance often operates in semiosis itself, as Peirce defined it.
Kastamonu Mahmudiye Medresesi ve Vakıfları
Authors: OĞUR Özcan
Published: October 2023

İslam tarihi ve medeniyetinin önemli bir parçasını teşkil eden vakıflar, VIII. yüzyılın ortalarından XIX. yüzyılın sonlarına kadar İslam ülkelerinin sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel hayatını düzenleyen en önemli müesseselerden biri olmuştur. Müslüman devletler ve toplumlarda birçok kişinin hayır kazanmak gayesiyle vakıf kurduğu ve bu kişilerin vakıflara önemli gelirler aktardığı anlaşılmaktadır. Bunun doğal bir sonucu olarak Türk-İslam şehirlerinin vakıf müesseseleri sayesinde bayındır birer şehir hâline geldiğini söylemek mümkündür. Nitekim Anadolu'nun önemli şehirlerinden biri olan Kastamonu, vakıf şehir özelliği ile dikkati çekmektedir. XIII. yüzyılın başlarından itibaren Anadolu Selçuklularına bağlı olarak Paphlagonia'da hâkimiyet alanını genişleten Hüsameddin Çoban, ilk vakıf mescidi ve camisini Söğüt ve Kastamonu'da yaptırmıştır. Kastamonu, Candaroğulları'ndan İsmail Bey tarafından şehir merkezinde yaptırılan vakıf imareti başta olmak üzere inşa edilen diğer pek çok vakıf müessesesiyle Anadolu'nun en önemli şehirlerinden biri hâline gelmiştir. Bu önemine binaen Kastamonu, Kâtip Çelebi tarafından Türkmenlerin kaidesi olarak nitelendirilmiştir. Bugün bile Kastamonu şehir merkezinde hemen her cadde ve sokakta çok sayıda vakıf eserine rastlamak mümkündür. Kastamonu’nun kimliğini oluşturan bu müesseselerin işleyişinin ve geçmişte ifa ettikleri hizmetlerin tam olarak anlaşılabilmesi için arşiv malzemelerine dayalı çalışmaların yoğunluk kazanması büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu noktada son dönemde Kastamonu şehrinin sosyoekonomik tarihi ile ilgili çalışmaların hız kazandığı bilinmektedir. Ancak Kastamonu tarihine ayrı bir zenginlik katan vakıf müesseseleri ile ilgili çalışmaların oldukça sınırlı olduğu da bilinen bir gerçektir. Bu çalışma söz konusu alana bir nebze de olsa katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu anlamda Kastamonu’nun şehir ve eğitim tarihine önemli katkı sağlayan Mahmudiye Medresesi ve vakfına, vakıf kayıtları arşivinden istifade edilerek değinilmeye çalışılmıştır. Özellikle medresenin kuruluş tarihi, banisi, vakıfları, görevlileri, yıl bazında öğrenci sayıları ile medreseye ilişkin mahkemeye intikal eden meseleler bu çalışmada irdelenen konular arasındadır. Bu vesileyle konunun önemine dikkat çekilerek ileride yapılacak çalışmalara basamak görevi görmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
Halep Rus Konsolosu İvanov Nikolay Grigoryeviç’e Göre 1878 Zeytun İsyanı
Authors: BOZKURT Uğur
Published: October 2023

Çalışmanın amacı, tarih boyunca birçok kez isyan girişiminde bulunan Zeytun Ermenile-rini, Halep Rus konsolosu İvanov Nikolay Grigoryeviç’in gözünden değerlendirmektir. Bu kişilerin isyan etme sebepleri ve Osmanlı Devleti tarafından yapılan ıslahat çalışmalarının neler olduğu, yerli ve yabancı kaynakların mukayese edilmesiyle açıklanmaya çalışılmış-tır. Elde edilen ilk izlenim, Zeytun halkının uzun yıllar bağımsız yaşadıklarından dolayı herhangi bir otoriteyi istemedikleri için isyan ettikleri yönündedir. 1878 Zeytun isyanına giden sürecin çok önceden başladığı, yerel idarecilerin suistimallerinden ve ekonomik gerekçelerden dolayı asayişin sağlanamadığı anlaşılmaktadır. Ayrıca İvanov’un tespitine göre, isyanın bir başka sebebi bölgede bulunan İngiliz konsolosluk çalışanları ile Ermeni Katolikosu Migırdiç’in isyanın çıkması ve devam etmesine yönelik propagandalarıdır. İsyanları önlemek adına Osmanlı Devleti’nin yapacağı kale inşası, asker sayısının arttı-rılması gibi güvenlik tedbirleri yerel halk tarafından iyi karşılanmadı. Ermeni isyancı Babik’in, Osmanlı Devleti’ne güvenmediği ve etrafına topladığı kişilerle dağa çıktığı konsolosluk raporlarında dile getirildi. Bunun yanı sıra 1878 isyanının bastırılmasında aktif rol alan Kâmil Paşa’nın, İngilizlerin baskıları sonucu görevden alınmasından sonra kurulan tahkikat komisyonunun çalışmalarının neler olduğu açılanmaya çalışıldı. Ancak Osmanlı Devleti tarafından Zeytun’da yapılan ıslahat çalışmalarının başarısız olacağı ve burada bulunan Ermenilerin tekrar isyan girişimlerinde bulunacağı hem Rus konsolosu hem de Osmanlı devlet adamları tarafından dile getirildi.
Precautionary Principles of Sustainability versus Promotion of the Ease of Doing Business in the Proposed EIA Regulation in India: A Critical Analysis and Application of an Ex-Ante Framework to Review the Regulation
Authors: Rathi A.K.A.
Published: October 2023

The tenets of environmental policy evolved in India and how precautionary principles of sustainability are sidelined in the draft EIA regulation 2020 are analyzed. The emphasis on exempting several categories of projects from the EIA requirements and public consultation, standardization of sector-specific terms of reference and environmental clearance conditions, and decentralization of the decision-making to simplify and fast-track the environmental clearance procedure for development projects is apparent. The list of projects/activities requiring prior environmental clearance and the procedures reveal that promoting the ease of doing business scores over precautionary principles. Efforts to increase the effectiveness and improve transparency in monitoring the implementation of environmental clearance conditions are visible. Still, the prime issues of improving the efficiency and efficacy of the EIA framework and institutional reforms in the EIA system need to be earnestly addressed. The evaluation using an ex-ante framework unveils the areas needing meticulous attention to revamp the EIA regulation.
Kebaktian Pembaharuan Janji Baptis: Sebuah Perwujudan Integrasi Ibadah dan Penggembalaan
Authors: Lim Budianto
Published: October 2023

Abstract. This article discusses the importance of the worship service for renewing the baptismal promise. Such renewal can be seen as a way of integrating worship and pastoral ministry for the strengthening of Christian identity. Christian identity marked by baptism has been viewed as a formality and God’s people become a spectator. The promise made in baptism as an important milestone of discipleship has slowly lost its influence because many forget it. Thus, the church needs to guide the people into the process of renewing such a promise. This study was conducted by literature research methods to analyze the biblical-theological meaning of Jesus' baptism in Matthew 3:13-17. The results of this study showed that baptismal vows need to be renewed continuously and facilitated through the holding of religious services. The service of renewing baptismal promises is not a re-baptization but the maintenance of the meaning and power of the baptism that has been received.Abstrak. Artikel ini membahas pentingnya kebaktian pembaharuan janji baptis sebagai wujud integratif antara ibadah dan penggembalaan demi penguatan identitas Kristiani. Identitas yang ditandai melalui ritual baptisan seringkali dipandang sebatas formalitas dan diikuti sebagai tontonan bagi umat yang sudah dibaptis. Janji baptis sebagai tonggak awal kemuridan menjadi kurang berpengaruh dalam perjalanan iman karena sudah dilupakan. Gereja perlu menuntun umat Allah ke dalam momen pembaharuan janji baptis dalam konteks kebaktian demi memelihara kesinambungan komitmen sebagai komunitas murid Kristus. Kajian ini menggunakan metode riset literatur untuk menganalisa makna biblis-teologis baptisan Yesus dalam Matius 3:13-17. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa janji baptis perlu dibaharui secara kontinu dan difasilitasi lewat pelaksanaan kebaktian. Kebaktian pembaharuan janji baptisan bukanlah pembatisan ulang namun pemeliharan makna dan kekuatan baptisan yang telah diterima.
What is ‘Modern’ China? Desperately Seeking for ‘a’ Birthday
Authors: Ferlanti Federica
Published: October 2023

Historians have been obsessed with pinpointing the birth of modern China. However, what do we (historians) look for when we try to trace its birth? And more importantly, how do we understand the term ‘modern’ and by extension ‘modernity’? Has its meaning changed over time? This essay addresses these problems by focussing on two main aspects. The first aspect concerns Chinese modernity in relation to historians’ subjectivity and periodisation. The concept of modern and modernity is not set in stone and what is modern depends on who is asking the question, with context, nationality/ ethnicity and gender accounting for historians’ subjectivity. One should also take into account that new perspectives are gained due to the passage of time and the concept of what makes China modern at any given point shifts accordingly. The second aspect is the nation‑ and state‑building process. The changing relationship between the individual and the state seems a good vantage point from which to explore modernity. From citizenship to mass politics, the essay draws on different examples to illustrate the main trends that emerged and bedded in during the Republican period, and beyond, and explain why we might (or might not) consider them markers of modernity.

Published: October 2023

The use of fat replacers in meat products has been explored due to the demand for nutritious and healthy meat products.  The optimal blend of wheat and sweet potato flour as healthy alternatives was investigated. Using standard procedure, samples formulated were analyzed for proximate, color, texture, sensory, and cooking properties. The cooking yield, diameter reduction and cooking loss value ranged between 56.13 -77.27%, 10.35 - 15.03% and 18.01 - 22.72% respectively. A significant  difference was observed in all the cooking properties of the beef patties. The color attributes of the beef patties with the inclusion of wheat and sweet potato flour were significantly  affected by the incorporation of the flour blends. An increase was observed in protein content as the addition of wheat flour increased while the inclusion of sweet potato flour decreased fat content. The presence of sweet potato flour significantly affected all the textural attributes of the beef patties samples. The optimum ingredient ratio obtained was 24% wheat flour and 76% sweet potato flour. Replacing meat fat with wheat and sweet potato flour blends will produce acceptable beef patties.
Applicability of vacuum impregnation in meat and marine products
Authors: Sharefiabadi Elnaz , Serdaroglu Meltem
Published: October 2023

The vacuum impregnation technique has a key role in mass transfer through the pores of animal or vegetable tissues by using different pressures. Removing the internal liquids and gases trapped in the capillaries by applying vacuum pressure and replacing them with the desired solution after the atmospheric pressure is restored is possible. The technique is aimed to impregnate chemical/organic compounds into the capillary structure of biological tissues by utilizing the empty fractions of foods. Vacuum impregnation is used for various products in the food industry to ease the impregnation of ingredients e.g. salt, binding agents, coating materials, antioxidant or antimicrobial agents, etc. To successfully apply this technique, it is important to know the characteristics of the food and to choose the application parameters appropriately. The processing efficiency and quality of the food to be processed should be considered carefully. Purpose-oriented processes are important in the preparation of materials. Vacuum impregnation has excellent potential for improving the overall quality and increasing the shelf life of meat and fishery products.
Effect of cowpea and coconut pomace flour blend on the proximate composition, antioxidant and pasting properties of maize flour

Published: October 2023

A study was conducted to improve yellow maize flour through the addition of cowpea and coconut pomace flour blends. The flours were optimized using the optimal mixture design of response surface methodology and functional properties were determined. The bulk density, swelling, water absorption, and oil absorption capacity were all significantly (p < 0.05) different. Run 1 (75% maize flour, 23.75% cowpea flour, and 1.25% coconut pomace flour), Run 2 (95% maize flour and 5% cowpea flour), Run 7 (70% maize flour and 30% cowpea flour) and Run 8 (90% maize flour, 5% cowpea flour and 5% coconut pomace flour) were selected as best overall functional properties. The selected flour blends were assessed for proximate composition, antioxidant properties, and pasting properties. Cowpea flour significantly (p < 0.05) increased crude protein content, while coconut pomace flour enhanced ash, crude fat, fiber, and energy content. The antioxidant and pasting properties showed Runs 2 and 8 with improved DPPH value and pasting properties. These flour blends might be suitable for developing complementary foods and ready-to-eat foods due to their low pasting properties.

Functional foods and beverages can be defined as processed products that provide health benefits beyond the basic nutritional needs and reduce the risk of diseases. The design of functional products with improved shelf-life is a new challenge for the food industry. Therefore, this research aimed to: design a functional fruit-herbal beverage; compare the preservation effect of two preservatives (propolis extract and potassium sorbate) added in the beverages; evaluate the sensory characteristics of the newly designed beverages; observe the physico-chemical and microbiological changes during storage at 4℃ for 42 days. The results demonstrated that the addition of propolis extract (0.02%) in the beverage, increased the total polyphenols, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity, compared to the control beverage and the beverage containing potassium sorbate (0.05%). The results from microbiological analyses showed that potassium sorbate and propolis extract effectively inhibited the microbial growth in the treated beverages. However, the propolis extract in a lower concentration (0.02%) was as effective as potassium sorbate in a higher concentration (0.05%) during the entire storage period. Consequently, in addition to being a functional ingredient and a food enhancer, propolis is a prospective natural preservative, which can improve the shelf-life of the food products and beverages.

Integrating MHPSS and Peacebuilding: A Critical and Constructive Perspective from the Integrated Field of Psychosocial Peacebuilding
Authors: Hertog Katrien
Published: October 2023

Recent years have seen a surge in awareness of the importance to integrate Mental Health, Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and Peacebuilding (PB). This article examines how the conceptual frameworks and practical implementation experience of psychosocial peacebuilding relate to the current integration efforts of MHPSS and Peacebuilding. It identifies a range of challenges often present in integration efforts, as well as insights, frameworks and experience from the field of psychosocial peacebuilding which could address these. This article proposes to peacebuilding practitioners, policy-makers and donors to put more attention on strengthening integrated approaches that already exist, rather than focusing most attention on merging what is - at the moment - far from integrated. It emphasizes that sustainable integration of integrated approaches into peacebuilding policy, practice and theory, as well as improved impact of integrated peacebuilding work, will be developed from the way we as peacebuilders connect and integrate inside ourselves and our teams.

The paper presents a selection of the best automatic rifle of domestic production. The complexity of the problem is conditioned by the different constructional characteristics of automatic rifles, which is why the application of multi-criteria decision-making methods is necessary. The choice of the most favorable alternative was made using the AHP - VIKOR method. By applying the AHP method, the calculation of the weight coefficients of the criteria was performed, while by applying the VIKOR method, the most favorable automatic rifle, was selected. The output is a proposal for the introduction into operational use and equipping of the security forces of the Republic of Serbia.

Humans can understand their surroundings clearly because they regularly notice objects in their environment. It is essential for the machine to perceive the surroundings similarly to how humans do in order to make it autonomous and capable of navigating in the human world. The machine can assess its surroundings and identify objects using object detection. This can simplify a number of tasks and enable the machine to recognize its surroundings. Making bounding boxes that surround the objects is essentially how object detection systems work to locate objects in an image. Object detection has applications such as autonomous robot navigation, surveillance, face detection, and vehicle

The Future of Developed Barrier Systems - Part II: Alongshore Complexities and Emergent Climate Change Dynamics
Authors: Anarde Katherine , Moore Laura , Murray Brad , Reeves Ian
Published: October 2023

Developed barrier systems (barrier islands and spits) are lowering and narrowing with sea-level rise (SLR) such that habitation will eventually become infeasible or prohibitively expensive in its current form. Before reaching this state, communities and other entities will make choices, in the face of changing climate conditions, to modify the natural and built environment to reduce relatively short-term risk. These choices will likely vary substantially even along the same developed barrier system as these landscapes are rarely uniformly managed alongshore. Building on the results from a companion paper, here we use a new modeling framework to investigate the complexities in barrier system dynamics that emerge as a function of alongshore variability in management strategies, accelerations in SLR, and changes in storm intensity and frequency. Model results suggest that when connected through alongshore sediment transport, barriers with alongshore variable management strategies – here, the construction of dunes and wide beaches to protect either roadways or communities – evolve differently than they would in the absence of alongshore connections. Shoreline stabilization by communities in one location influences neighboring areas managed solely for roadways, inducing long-term system-wide lags in shoreline retreat, even decades after nourishment ceases. Conversely, when barrier segments managed for roadways are allowed to overwash, this induces shoreline curvature system-wide, thus enhancing erosion on nearby stabilized segments. Feedbacks between dunes, storms, overwash flux, and alongshore sediment transport also affect the long-term outcome of climate adaptation measures. In the case of partial, early abandonment of roadway management (i.e., decades before the road is deemed untenable), we find that system-wide transitions to less vulnerable landscape states are possible, even under accelerated SLR and increased storminess.

Background Impairment in daily activities, such as work and socialising, is part of the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD) and most anxiety disorders. Despite evidence suggesting that symptom severity and functional impairment are partially distinct, functional impairment is often overlooked. We aimed to estimate the heritabilities of, and genetic correlations between, key measures of depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms and functional impairment, to assess whether functional impairment captures diagnostically relevant genetic liability beyond that of symptoms. Methods In a sample of 17,130 individuals with lifetime depression or anxiety from the Genetic Links to Anxiety and Depression (GLAD) Study, we analysed total scores from the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9; depression symptoms), Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7; anxiety symptoms), and Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS; functional impairment). A genome-wide association study of each phenotype was performed with REGENIE software. Heritability was estimated with GCTA-GREML and genetic correlations with bivariate-GREML. Results Phenotypic correlations were moderate across the three measures (Pearson’s r = 0.50 - 0.69). All three scales were found to be under significant genetic influence (h2SNP = 0.11 - 0.19) with high genetic correlations between them (rg = 0.79 - 0.87). Conclusions Within individuals with lifetime depression or anxiety, the genetic variants that underlie symptom severity are largely the same as those influencing functional impairment. This suggests that the genetic factors associated with self-reported functional impairment, which is clinically relevant for diagnosis and treatment outcomes, can be sufficiently captured by symptom-based measures of depression or anxiety.
