Authors: Pratiwi Berlin
Published: February 2022

Language teaching should have portions for cultural reviews and studies that are relevant to the topics and learners’ needs. This research was qualitative descriptive aimed to describe the cross-cultural understanding implementation in business and economic ESP class. It is significant to describe the class realization toward cultural aspect understanding since the findings are expected to enhance future class preparation. Better cultural-based-prepared material is believed to bring a better social impact on learners. Lecturers’ and students’ perspectives based on several interviews were the basis for final finding construction. Three English lecturers were involved. Snowball sampling was the sampling method employed resulting in 40 students involved in interviews. In the context of business and economics ESP in Universitas Putra Bangsa, lecturers provided material related to cross-cultural understanding in verbal realization i.e. in the level of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences. The above levels were introduced by the lecturers with cultural and contextual approaches. Students expected more strategic-applicable utterances for daily communication in a workplace setting. Lecturers delivered the general importance of non-verbal cross-cultural understanding in the form of kinesics (eye contact and gesture), proxemics, and artifactual in a workplace setting. Kinesics was prominent, while proxemics and artifactual were least prepared. Students found practical activities in non-verbal cross-cultural understanding realization were interesting and challenging.

Situated in the heart of the Middle East, Saudi Arabia or the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has played a significant role in the Arab region since the pre-historic and pre-Islamic periods. The discovery of oil in 1938 brought a major transformation to the country, which has since become one of the world’s largest oil producers and exporters. The oil industry boom occurred during the 1970s and 1980s and resulted in the rapid development of the economy. This in turn transformed the country into a modern state; a change that touched all sectors, including the built environment.
Branding Saudi Arabia’s Capital
Authors: Klingmann Anna
Published: February 2022

This paper explores the employment of urban and architectural branding strategies within Riyadh's plan to become a globally recognized city. Within this framework, the text examines Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and its spatial impact on the city's urban environment. The paper discusses how mega-events and urban mega-destinations function as branding, place marketing, and placemaking tools to showcase this vision and promote a "new" Saudi Arabia image. The paper also examines in how far globally established values of culture, leisure, greening, wellbeing, connectivity, and quality-of-life are leveraged in the branding process of Riyadh's mega-destinations to communicate a positive image to a transnational class of metropolitan business travelers and tourists, and an affluent, cosmopolitan Saudi middle class. Deliberating this market-oriented methodology's various implications, the paper concludes with a call for a more participatory and inclusive approach to Saudi Arabia's urban branding process to enhance long-term credibility and identification. To achieve the outlined objectives of this paper, the author employed a combination of qualitative methods that included on-site field research, literature reviews, and conversational interviews with various stakeholders that include representatives of involved architectural and urban planning offices, members of the academic community, and citizens of various professions and age groups

Saudi Vision 2030: a New Mind-set of City future Moving from Strategic Planning to Sustainable Development based vision
Authors: Elbortokaly Amira Abdelrazik , Hanafi Noorhan Mustafa
Published: February 2022

City urban visions are an increasing concern all over the world and exceptionally for Saudi cities. Saudi Arabia leaders have just launched the Saudi Vision 2030, which is a bold vision for an ambitious country in 2016. At the same time, planners in major cities tend to diversify their economies, improving quality of life, and repositioning their cities in the global context. Notably, Riyadh city, the capital of KSA expected to be not only a great city for its citizens but also a city that symbolizes Saudi urban aspirations. The research aims at investigating Riyadh's urban vision history since the urban city development accumulates different approaches according to the nature of the visioning process. It has changed from urban development decisions made on a case-by-case principle, with no vision, to decisions derived from a vision based on the strategic planning process of MEDSTAR 2003 (The Metropolitan Development Strategy for Ar-Riyadh Region) to more integrated vision based on the sustainable development process of Saudi Vision 2030.

The main research argument is that urban planning paradigms affect intense approaches that cities experience when formulating their urban visions. Using an analytical framework, the paper analyses Saudi Vision 2030 and MEDSTAR vision 2003. The aim is not to compare but to investigate Riyadh's vision history that diversifies from strategic planning-based vision to sustainable development tending to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The framework includes qualitative variables focusing on the process of city vision formulating as the nature of the process, time horizon, and scope of visioning, etc. The research concludes that the nature of the visioning process plays a great role in the vision-formulating process. Especially when it comes to Riyadh city's case since adopting the sustainable development process of Saudi Vision 2030 helps integrating multiple comprehensive development aspects such as (urban, economic, social, etc.) and forms a new mindset of the city's future.

The problem of early profiling of primary school children age is one of the first places among other social and psychological problems. The modern schoolboy lives in a world that is complex in its content and ability to socialize. Even considering that it is currently very difficult to assess the problems of early profiling of students, we can say that the scale of this phenomenon is growing by many criteria. Primary school teachers and school psychologists note that children of primary school age are most sensitive to social and psychological stress. It is at this age that there is a sharp increase in conflict, undisciplined, self-control students. This is due to many reasons. Let's look at them in our article, IPT (individual profile trajectory of learning).

Проблема ранней профилизации детей младшего школьного возраста за-нимает одно из первых мест среди других социальных и психологических проблем. Современный школьник живет в мире, сложном по своему содержанию и способности к социали-зации. Даже учитывая то, что в настоящее время очень трудно оценить проблемы ранней профилизации учащихся, можно сказать, что масштабы этого явления растут по многим кри-териям. Педагоги начальных классов и психологи школ отмечают, что дети младшего школьно-го возраста наиболее чувствительны к социальным и психологическим стрессам. Именно в этом возрасте наблюдается резкий рост конфликтных, недисциплинированных, не умеющих владеть собой школьников. Это связано сомногими причинами. Рассмотрим их в данной статье.
“When they don’t have to sit there they don’t. They’ll go and sit somewhere else”. Students with disabilities talk about barriers to friendship.
Authors: Ward Angela
Published: February 2022

Students learn best when they feel accepted, included and have positive social relationships. Over a period of two school years, four students with disabilities told their stories of the reality of their secondary school experiences including their experiences of friendships and social relationships in their classrooms and out- of-class settings. This article presents some of the contextual factors that were identified as supporting and/ or hindering positive social relationships and learning.

Unintentional and intentional barriers to positive social relationships are explored, and some implications for teachers, as they promote student learning within the classroom, are presented. Teachers are invited to listen to these stories and reflect on their pedagogy so as to learn how to create supportive learning environments where the values and principles of the New Zealand Curriculum are supported and where the key competencies of Relating to Others; Participating and Contributing; and Managing Self are developed.
Does the Fonetik Spelling System improve Standard Spelling Scores?
Authors: Johnson Ian
Published: February 2022

This seven-month trial was undertaken to determine if the Fonetik spelling system (Jackson, 1994) enabled students with and without spelling difficulties to enhance their regular spelling scores. A sample of 270 students aged between 8 and 13 years were involved. The students were based in 8 schools within an RTLB cluster. The Fonetik system was introduced to all the students within their regular classroom settings. The results indicate that Fonetik was successful in increasing regular spelling scores for students with spelling difficulties and that it can be successfully implemented in schools with guidance from RTLB. This matched the conclusions of the first trial conducted by Croft and Boyd with the support of NZCER (1993).
Anthracnose disease dynamics of mango orchards in relation to humid thermal ratio under subtropical climatic condition
Authors: P.K. SHUKLA  , TARUN ADAK
Published: February 2022

Incidence and severity of mango anthracnose was studied during 2013, 2014 and 2015 for its relation with weather parameters. Twenty two mango orchards of cv. Dashehari, aged between 20-35 years in Lucknow district of Uttar Pradesh were selected for this study. The statistical analysis at different locations indicated highest incidence of 40.0, 29.2 and 29.6 per cent in three years respectively. Differences in disease severity were also observed among the years and within the orchards. Cooler months had high humid thermal ratio (HTR) values and warmer months mostly had low (1.2 to 3.5) HTR values. Significant positive correlation was found between HTR and anthracnose incidence and severity. The study inferred that humid thermal ratio may be used for prediction of the disease as a ratio of agroadvisory services to recommend timely protection measures to the farmers.

Published: February 2022

The field experiments were carried out to study the population fluctuation of Cucumber moth, Diaphania indica in bitter gourd and its relationship with different weather variables during Kharif seasons of 2014 and 2015 in Varanasi region. Weekly data on larval population of D. indica on bitter gourd were taken through simple random sampling whereas different abiotic parameters were obtained from the meteorological observatory of the institute. The results revealed that the D. indica population commencedfrom 31st SMW. The maximum population was recorded during 38th SMW (in 2014), during 39th SMW (in 2015). During September in both the years. The maximum, minimum and mean temperature, growing degree day, heliothermal unit and evaporation rate showed significant positive correlations with this sporadic pest where as a negative correlation was established with relative humidity, rainfall and wind velocity. A weather based prediction model has also been developed with different weather indices and pest incidence using weekly average value.

Published: February 2022

Studies on crop weather relationship in rice were carried out over six kharif seasons from 2009 to 2014 at Pusa, Samastipur falling under North-west Alluvial Plain Zone of Bihar. Three rice varieties viz. Rajendra Bhgwati, RW 3055 and Saroj were grown under irrigated conditions with four sowing dates viz. 31 May, 15 June, 30 June and 15 July. The results revealed that accumulated heat units decreased with delay in sowing till crop reached tillering stage and increased thereafter till crop maturity. The grain yield was higher when maximum temperature (Tmax) during heading phase remained between 32.2 and 32.6 0C and decreased appreciably when Tmax was above 33 0C during this phase. Grain yield declines by 4.31 q ha-1 per 1 0C rise in Tmax during heading stage due to reduction in ‘pollen viability’, resulting in greater spikelet sterility and subsequently lower yield. Except during tillering and flowering phases, the minimum temperature was negatively correlated with grain yield. Daily bright sunshine hours (BSH) of 7 to 8 hours during flowering phase led to enhanced grain yield. However, BSH of less than 7 hours resulted in decline of grain yield. Significant positive correlation was recorded between bright sunshine hours and grain yield.

The data pertaining to adult moth catches of pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) and leaf eating caterpillar (Spodoptera litura) recorded for nine years (2006-2014) using the light trap installed at College Agronomy Farm, Anand were analysed in terms of weather parameters obtained from the agrometeorological observatory, Anand. Both the insects were found to be active throughout the year,however their populations were minimum during April to September. The correlation analysis indicated that the most of the weather parameters had negative and significant association except sunshine hours, which has significant positive correlation. The stepwise regression analysis revealed that wind speed and morning vapour pressure could explain 87 per cent variation in pink bollworm, while wind speed and afternoon vapour pressure could explain 65 per cent variation in leaf eating caterpillar.

Published: February 2022

The field experiment was conducted during 2013-16 at Navsari Agricultural University, Paria, Gujarat to study the role of weather parameters on population dynamics of oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis on mango, Mangifera indica L. Fruit flies were recorded throughout the investigation period, wherein maximum catches were observed during April - July which coincided with fruiting and harvesting stages of the crop. Weather parameters viz., minimum temperature, evening relative humidity, rainfall and wind velocity were found to be important predictors of fruit fly catches, while maximum temperature and morning relative humidity failed to establish significant correlation with the catches. The optimized model developed using rainfall and wind velocity predicted fruit fly catches based on R2 value to the tune of 78 per cent. This forewarning model may help mango farmers to take advance decision for minimizing the quantitative and qualitative crop losses caused by fruit flies of the region.

Present investigation was conducted to unwind the effect of heat load index (HLI) and suitable nutrient supplement to combat the adverse effect using 24 Deccani females divided randomly into 4 groups (viz., Control (C), T1 (3ml of 10% Zinc Sulphate), T2 (1ml of 0.1% Selenium) and T3 (60mg Vitamin E daily)) at Hayathnagar Research Farm of ICAR-Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture, Hyderabad, India. All environmental variables were recorded at 30 min intervals using automatic weather station and in sheep, physical, physiological, biochemical, hormonal and anti-oxidant profile was determined monthly. HLI was significantly correlated with various physiological, biochemical and biomolecular parameters, however, catalase and cortisol may be considered as best HLI indicators in the sheep (r=0.911** and 0.864**, respectively). Highly significant correlation between HLI and average daily weight gain (r=0.817**), suggest that HLI significantly controls the growth rate thereby affecting final body weight.

Published: February 2022

Rainfall data and barley production of Sinana district, South East Ethiopia for the period 1995-2016 were used to analyze influence of rainfall features on barley yield using correlation and regression techniques. Downscaled output of CSIRO-Mk3.6.0 GCM model for RCP 8.5 emission scenario for the period 2020-2049 were used to determine future rainfall and to ascertain its impact on barley yield. Sixrainfall characteristics viz. onset date, end date, length of growing season, seasonal (June-September, kiremt) rainfall, and total annual rainfall were analysed. Kiremt (JJAS) contributes 37 per cent of annual rainfall and varied between 271.4 mm and 854.0 mm during the study period with coefficient of variation (CV) of 43 per cent. The barley yield was found to vary between 14.79qha-1and 35.84qha-1 with CV of 27.9 per cent during the same period. The results indicated that among all the rainfall features studied, the kiremt rainfall had strong positive relationship (r = 0.668**) with barley yield and explained nearly 45 per cent of total variance in the yield. Under future climatic scenario during 2020-2049 period, the projected rainfall is going to be less than the mean rainfall that may cause reduction in barley yield by 1.8 to 4.4 per cent in Sinana district.

Sunflower Hybrid (KBSH-1) was cultivated in Open Top Chambers (OTCs) at ambient (380 ppm) and elevated CO2 (550 and 700ppm) conditions. Biomass accumulation in root, stem, head and seed was significantly greater at elevated CO2 (550 ppm and 700ppm) compared with ambient (380 ppm).The improvement in total biomass with 550 and 700 ppm CO2was 18.7 per cent and 40.5 percent and seed yield was 21.0 per cent and 45.9 per cent respectively compared to ambient. The positive growth response to increased atmospheric CO2 resulted in N and C concentrations. Although elevated CO2 levels tended to lower N concentration in some plant parts compared to ambient, elevated CO2 enhanced total N accumulation in each plant component via an increase in biomass.Elevated CO2 decreased the N per cent compared to ambient in seed meal, leaf and stem. At the recommended dose of nutrients, the total N uptake was high in plants grown at 700 ppm (1.25 g per plant), followed by 550 ppm (1.11g per plant) and ambient (0.96 11 g per plant). At the recommended dose of nutrients, physiological N use efficiency (PE) and grain N use efficiency (NUEg) was also high in plants grown at elevated CO2 in OTCs and nitrogen harvest index (NHI) was similar for ambient (70.3%) and elevated CO2 conditions (70.4 and 70.2 per cent at 550 ppm and 700 ppm).The total carbon accumulation was high in plants grown at 700 ppm, followed by 550 ppm and ambient.The C/N ratio of plants was high at elevated CO2 conditions being 21.2, 20.0 and 19.0 at 700, 550ppm and ambient control respectively.

The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) is a major pest of mango crop in India and the present studies conducted to estimate the number of generations in relation to changing temperature on mango fruits across eight different geographically isolated major mango growing locations of India. The prediction of insect pest generations and generation time was done for baseline (1961 to 1990),present (1969 to 2005), near future (2021 to 2050) and distant future (2071 to 2098) periods using A1B emission scenario data from the regional circulation model (RCM), Providing Regional Climates for Impacts Studies (PRECIS) model. The degree days models using minimum and maximum temperature were used to obtain cumulative degree days (DD) for each generation of B. dorsalis using a temperature threshold of 13°C. It was estimated that faster accumulation of degree days would make possible for occurrence of one or two additional generations with shortened mean life cycle (5 to 7 days less) in near and distant future climate change periods compared to baseline and present periods at majority of locations. Increased number of generations and reduction of generation time at majority of mango growing locations of India suggest that the incidence of B. dorsalis may likely to increase due to projectedincrease in temperatures during future climate change scenarios.

The study focuses on simulating the effect of climate change under RCP4.5 scenario on irrigation requirements,crop yield, crop duration, and water -use efficiency of rice–wheat cropping system with DSSAT v 4.6.1 model at Ludhiana. Model simulations predict reduction in irrigation requirements for rice crop and increase in irrigation requirements for wheat crop under RCP 4.5 scenarios. Also reductions in crop yields in future associated with shortening of growth period due to increased temperature were predicted by the model. Increased rainfall in future would decrease irrigation water requirement of crops but would not offset the adverse effect of increased temperature. Although evapotranspiration would decrease towards end of the century, yet relatively more decrease in yield would lower water use efficiency.
Impact of elevated temperature and CO2 on yield of wheat in Bihar
Authors: SUNIL KUMAR
Published: February 2022

Temperature and CO2 are two important parameters related to climate change, which affect crop yield of a particular region. In this study, an attempt was made to assess the impact of these parameters on the productivity of wheat crop in Bihar. For this purpose CROPSIM-CERES-Wheat model 4.6 was used in which weather data of 1981-2010 was used as baseline to assess the change in wheat yield under different climate change scenarios for four locations viz. Pusa (zone I), Purnia (zone II), Sabour (zone III A) and Patna (zone III B) in Bihar. The model was run for the scenarios like 1o, 2o, 3o and 4 o C increase in mean temperature keeping all parameters normal. Similarly change in yield of wheat at increased CO2 at 700 ppm and 850 ppm was studied. The effect of different combinations of increased temperature and CO2 on wheat yield was also studied. Simulated wheat productivity revealed the reduction in grain yieldby 7.4 to 38.6 per cent in response to temperature rise up to 40 C at all locations. The elevated CO2 (from 350 ppm up to 850 ppm) increased the yield by 39.1 per cent. Increased temperature with combination of increased CO2 concentration reduced the yield by 2.1-16.0 per cent for different combinations at different locations. The maximum reduction in simulated wheat yield was observed at combination of 2 o C increase in temperature with 450 ppm CO2 concentration at all locations in Bihar.

The climate data (maximum temperature, minimum temperature and rainfall) of forty year (1974-2013) was analysed for kharif (May to October) and rabi (November to April) seasons in Punjab, India. The non-parametric Mann-Kendall and Sen’s methods were used to determine trend (positive or negative) in climate data over a period of 40 years. A decrease in rainfall and increase in temperature from northeast to south-west Punjab during both the kharif and rabi seasons was observed. No significant temporal variation was observed in maximum temperature and rainfall during both the seasons, but a significant increase in minimum temperature over the years was observed in different zones of Punjab. On an average, minimum temperature is increasing at 0.05oC per year during both the seasons.

Reference evapotranspiration is a significant agrometeorological parameter used for estimation of crop water requirement and irrigation scheduling. The present study was undertaken to determine the reference evapotranspiration and crop water requirement for apple cultivation in the Kashmir valley. Reference evapotranspiration (ET0) was determined for seven major apple producing districts of Kashmir valley, viz. Srinagar, Budgam, Kupwara, Pulwama, Baramulla, Anantnag and Shopian. The average ET0 for apples cultivation in Kashmir Valley was 912 mm. The mean water requirement (ETc) was minimum during the initial stage being 69 mm and maximum during the mid-season stage being 668 mm. The mean water requirement during the late-season stage was 175 mm. The minimum annual ETc was observed at Baramulla (846 mm) and the maximum annual ETc at Srinagar (953 mm). Different stations showed variations in water requirement due to differences in altitude and local weather conditions.

An attempt was made to determine the seasonal evapotranspiration and crop coefficient of wheat during various growth stages under drip irrigation and N-fertigation scheduling in Jalgaon, Maharashtra during 2012-13 and 2013-14. The results revealed that grain and straw yield of wheat increased significantly at each higher levels of drip irrigation up to 1.0 Epan and fertigation of 120 kg N ha-1 in both the years. The mean daily ETc of wheat during its initial stage was found to be lower and almost constant and it increased continuously during vegetative stage, flowering and grain filling stage (4.75 mm day-1) and decreased during the maturity stage. The measured seasonal ETc of wheat was ranged from 294.5 to 453.5 mm. The highest seasonal ETc and ETc was recorded in surface check basin irrigation at IW/ CPE 1 and lowest in deficit irrigation schedule i.e. drip irrigation at 0.6 Epan. Each higher level of nitrogen from N0 to N160 slightly increased the seasonal ETc of wheat. Estimated crop coefficient values (0.71, 1.31, 1.34 and 0.76 at initial, crop development, mid season and late season stage) at 1.0 Epan through drip were slightly higher over the FAO Kc values.

Published: February 2022

District wise rice and wheat yield prediction equations were developed for seven districts of eastern Madhya Pradesh using weakly weather data from 1980-2009. The coefficient of determination (R2) varied between 0.4 - 0.78 for rice and 0.6 - 0.92 for wheat in different districts. Model performance was evaluated with independent reported data for year 2010 and 2011. As the deviations for both the years were less than ± 15 per cent, the models can be used for predicting the rice and wheat yields in Madhya Pradesh.
