Authors: Kedar Nath
Published: August 2024

Under field conditions, 38 coriander genotypes were screened against powdery mildew disease during Rabi 2021-22. Out of these none of the genotype was found free from disease. Genotype NCOR-124 had the lowest intensity of the disease by 32.69%, while which was at par with genotype NCOR-122 (33.11%). In the context of the disease reaction, none of the genotypes showed resistant reaction; only two genotypes, NCOR-124 and NCOR-122, were found moderately resistant, and six genotypes, COR-129, COR-132, COR-15, Rcr-475, Rcr-480, and Rcr-684, were found susceptible to powdery mildew disease under field conditions. Early flowering was observed in genotypes NCOR-124 and NCOR-122 which initated at 38 and 39 days after sowing (DAS), respectively. Similarly, early maturity was also observed in both the genotypes at 87 and 88 DAS, respectively. While late flowering was observed in genotype NCL-13 and Rcr-475 at 57 DAS, while late maturity was observed in variety Rcr-684 at 104 DAS. The leaf area of among genotypes was recorded in ranged from 2.34 to 7.12 cm2. Highest leaf area of 7.12 cm2 was recorded in genotype NCOR-144 and lowest leaf area 2.34 cm2 was recorded in genotype Hissar Anand. Maximum plant height (75.34 cm) was measured in genotype GDLC-1, while it was lowest (49.43 cm) in genotype NCOR-103. Genotypic correlation analysis of various morphological characters against powdery mildew disease intensity showed a highly significant positive correlation between maturity (r = 0.529), plant height (r = 0.492), and flower initiation (r = 0.317), but no significant negative correlation was observed with leaf area (r = -0.079). It has also been identified that genotypes that showed characteristics of early maturity had a resistant response.

Published: August 2024

Coriander cultivation in Rajasthan faces challenges like stem gall disease and climate variability. This study evaluates the impact of integrated crop management (ICM) practices in Baran district. Through Cluster Frontline Demonstrations (CFLDs), ICM practices were implemented, leading to significantly higher coriander yields (19.1 to 21.6 q ha-1) compared to traditional farmer practices (16.4 to 18.9 q ha-1). Adoption rates of ICM practices increased, reaching up to 100% post-demonstration. Energy analysis revealed that ICM plots consumed 33.52% less input energy than FP plots, resulting in higher energy productivity and profitability. These findings underscore the importance of scaling up ICM practices for sustainable coriander farming.

Elipsis nominal en el corpus sociolingüístico del habla de Maracay, Venezuela
Authors: Galup Thourey Ricardo
Published: August 2024

En este estudio sociolingüístico cuantitativo, descriptivo y exploratorio, de naturaleza variacionista (Moreno, 2009), nos propusimos examinar la correlación entre las variables sociales sexo, edad, grado de escolaridad y nivel socioeconómico y la elipsis nominal (Casado, 2000) en el habla de Maracay, Venezuela. Empleamos el Corpus sociolingüístico del habla de Maracay (Villalobos & Díaz, 2005) y analizamos la frecuencia de uso de la elipsis nominal en tres formas: nombre, nombre más otros complementos y parcial, según lo descrito por Ticio (2010). Evaluamos la relación entre las variables presentes en el corpus y la frecuencia de utilización a través del coeficiente de correlación de Pearson, calculado con el software SPSS. Los resultados indicaron que la elipsis nominal es un recurso cohesivo prevalente en el habla de Maracay, pero su uso no parece estar fuertemente correlacionado con las variables sociales examinadas en la muestra. Sin embargo, identificamos algunas tendencias, como una ligera incidencia del sexo en la elipsis parcial y una cierta asociación de la edad con la tasa de elipsis de nombre y parcial.
Entidades relevantes: introducción y mantenimiento en el género del artículo de investigación
Authors: García de Díaz Miriam
Published: August 2024

Este estudio tuvo como propósito analizar cómo se introducen y mantienen las entidades relevantes en el género del artículo de investigación. Se consideraron entidades relevantes aquellos sintagmas nominales mencionados nueve o más veces en el corpus (Du Bois, 1980; Bentivoglio, 1992; Chafe, 1994). Sus rasgos semánticos (de abstracción y definitud morfo-semántica) fueron determinados mediante el uso de nombres propios o determinantes (Du Bois, 1990) y también sus roles sintácticos (Sedano, 2008). Utilizando matrices diseñadas ad hoc, se analizó el corpus conformado por ocho introducciones de artículos de investigación, donde se caracterizaron las entidades relevantes encontradas. De las 312 entidades relevantes mencionadas por primera vez, el 81 % fueron semánticamente abstractas y sólo 19 % concretas. El 63,46 % eran definidas y los roles sintácticos más frecuentes fueron el de sujeto (23 %), complemento de régimen preposicional (21,2 %) y complemento circunstancial (66,2 %). En sus apariciones subsiguientes (402 casos), las entidades fueron indefinidas (52,3%) y los roles sintácticos preferidos fueron el de complemento circunstancial (25 %), sujeto gramatical (23,1 %) y complemento directo (24 %). Se concluye que los roles de sujeto y complemento circunstancial fueron los más usados tanto para introducir como para mantener las entidades relevantes en el discurso. Estos resultados resultan de interés para la formación de investigadores noveles, quienes deben mantener las entidades relevantes en su discurso sin caer en la repetición o redundancia.

Introduction: Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a true intestinal diverticulum. It originates from failure in the obliteration and absorption of the omphalomesenteric duct during the first trimester of fetal life and affects 2% to 4% of the general population. MD can have its symptomatic or asymptomatic form. The appearance of symptoms suggests complications. The diagnosis depends on the occurrence of complications and is fundamentally based on imaging tests. The definitive treatment of MD is surgical, and the real controversy surrounding MD concerns the option of treating the silent disease with prophylactic resection when discovered during surgery. Objective: To demonstrate the importance of evaluating Meckel's diverticulum, both symptomatic and asymptomatic, as well as the difficulty of its diagnosis, to make a better choice of treatment. Methods: From a medical case that occurred at the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Presidente Prudente, and its medical records, information was collected to carry out this report. Results: MD is rare and usually asymptomatic in adults, where the definitive treatment is surgical, with absolute indication in symptomatic patients. In asymptomatic patients, surgical treatment is controversial considering the potential for complications versus the risk of the surgical procedure. Conclusion: MD, when symptomatic, is most often associated with complications. It is essential that each case of Meckel's diverticulum be evaluated individually, considering variables such as gender, age (complications are more frequent in children and young men), anesthetic risk, and diverticulum characteristics for a better prognosis and better choice of treatment.

Nesse artigo foi realizado uma análise sobre o sistema carcerário alagoano através de uma correlação entre a classe social e a repressão penal. Esse estudo tem como questão norteadora analisar o sistema carcerário alagoano com foco na seguinte pergunta: existe correlação entre a classe social e a repressão penal? No tocante aos objetivos desse estudo, compreende identificar a existência de uma correlação entre a classe social e a repressão penal. Esse é um estudo de revisão bibliográfica cuja fonte advém de artigos científicos dos últimos 5 anos (2018-2023), e doutrinas de Direito Penal que tratam sobre os aspectos históricos, e as configurações jurídicas das prisões no decorrer dos séculos. Trata-se de um estudo com método descritivo, tendo em vista que o objetivo é descrever a correlação entre a classe social e a repressão penal. Portanto, é possível afirmar que existe repressão penal em face de classes sociais mais vulneráveis no tocante, por exemplo, ao processo de busca pessoal, que é instrumento de política criminal. Nesse sentido, a possível constatação da existência da repressão penal em face de classes sociais envolvendo o sistema carcerário precisaria de dados mais detalhados sobre diversos fatores que culminaram com a condenação do indivíduo.

Published: August 2024

The State plays a fundamental role in the formation, transformation and development of societies, and has the obligation to protect different groups, especially those that require priority attention, such as adolescent offenders. To fulfill this responsibility, it is necessary to apply public policies with a human rights approach that support the process of reeducation and treatment of these young people. To this end, this study focuses on comprehensively analyzing public policies and socio-educational measures for adolescent offenders, by considering the individual, family, social and educational factors that influence their criminal behavior. To do this, Saaty's AHP method has been used, where it has been identified that individual factors have the greatest impact on criminal behavior, followed by family, social and educational factors. Furthermore, it was found that current policies lack a comprehensive approach and do not adequately address these risk factors. It is concluded that it is essential to implement a scheme of actions that mitigates the impact of risk factors to improve the effectiveness of policies

Published: August 2024

Fear of needles is a barrier to access to dental health, affecting millions of people around the world. Although local anesthesia is still a fundamental pillar in dentistry, the traditional syringe and needle technique can cause fear and anxiety in many patients. Modern dentistry has made significant strides in the development of new anesthetic techniques, and needle-free options are a testament to this progress. The aim of this research is to present an updated systematic literature review on needle-free anesthesia injection systems for the period 2020-2024. The PRISMA methodology was used for the selection of the articles to be analyzed. A focus group was developed to determine the knowledge of dental professionals and students regarding pressure systems. It was emphasized that the INJEX systems, Comfort-in and MadaJet XL, are less traumatic and generate less stress, which is important for patient acceptance. A training program was proposed for dental professionals and professors, in these techniques, for the research and development of new needle-free solutions, which is essential to make dental care more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

The use of surface strengthening to increase the wear resistance of working bodies of agricultural machines
Authors: Stavinskiy Andrey , Vakhonina Larisa , Martynenko Volodymyr , Mardziavko Vitalii , Rudenko Andrii
Published: August 2024

The research was aimed at investigating effective methods of surface strengthening of the working bodies of agricultural machines to increase their wear resistance and extend their service life. The study used surface hardening methods such as heat treatment, chemical and thermal processes, coatings, and mechanical methods. It has been shown that various methods of surface hardening significantly increase the wear resistance of working parts of agricultural machinery. The use of such heat treatment as induction hardening increased the resistance to wear due to localised heating and rapid cooling, which led to an increase in the hardness of the material. Chemical and heat treatment, including carburisation, nitrocementation and nitration, showed a significant improvement in surface layer hardness and increased corrosion resistance. Mechanical methods such as shot blasting and roller hardening have increased hardness and wear resistance by 30-50% due to plastic surface deformation. It has been proven that the use of surfacing and coatings of physical vapour deposition/chemical vapour deposition increases the durability of parts by 20-40%, which reduces operating costs and increases the productivity of agricultural machinery. The study examined approaches to enhancing the wear resistance of agricultural machinery’s working parts, highlighting a notable issue: Ukrainian agricultural machinery often exhibits a shorter service life (1.2-2 times less) compared to imported counterparts. The analysis focuses on the reasons behind the wear and deterioration of cultivator teeth, with particular emphasis on how wear affects the size and shape of the working parts, resulting in decreased efficiency. The surface strengthening methods under study can be directly implemented in production to increase the durability and reliability of working parts of agricultural machinery, which would help to increase their efficiency and reduce operating costs

Comparison Of Prescription Accuracy Of Commercially Available Molar Tubes Using A Custom Made Device - An Invitro Study
Authors: Singh Swati , Arya S Prasad
Published: August 2024

Objective : The aim of this in vitro study was to verify the accuracy of torque prescription in the buccal tubes of three commercially available molar bands using Play and Torque Measuring device and to quantify the amount of torsional play present in them.

Materials and Methods: A total of thirty preformed bands with 0.022 slot and McLaughlin-Bennett-Trevisi prescription were selected equally from three different brands for this cross-sectional in-vitro analytical study. The torsional play and torque of the molar bands were measured using the PTM device. The play and torque values obtained using the PTM device were used to calculate the play and torque using a formula. The play and torque values were measured for all the three groups. The mean values of play and torque obtained between three groups were measured using  One-way ANOVA.

Results: All three groups had variations in the torque and play that were above the standard torque and play values. There was a statistically significant difference in the play and torque values between all the groups  evaluated.

Conclusions : Orthodontists should be aware of the inherent manufacturing defects in the bands as this can prevent the achievement of ideal treatment results. This simple method can help us in determining the torque and play of the molar bands giving us better control over treatment mechanics.
Prevalence of habit breaking appliance therapy in 6 to 12 year old children - A cross-sectional study
Authors: Vindhiya Varshini , Shilpa Syam
Published: August 2024

Background: Habits are certain oral activities like digit sucking, thumb sucking, lip sucking, and mouth breathing which can occur consciously or unconsciously. When these habits are automatic, particularly in children, they can lead to dental issues or malocclusion. The primary treatment for these patients is habit-breaking appliance therapy. These appliances function by curbing oral habits and thereby preventing malocclusion.
Aim: To assess the prevalence, gender, and distribution of usage of habit-breaking appliances among 6 to 12-year-old children
Materials and Methods: A total of 2973 patients, ranging in age from 6 to 12 years, who underwent pulpectomy habit-breaking appliances therapy were selected, and their treatment details such as duration, type of appliance were obtained from the patient records to obtain the prevalence. Information on habits and habit-breaking appliances was also collected, noted and tabulated in excel and imported to SPSS. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were done. There was a statistical significance between age and habits-breaking appliances (p<0.05).
Result: Of the 2973 records evaluated, it was noted that fixed appliances for tongue thrusting habits accounted for 29.82% of the treatments. Among children aged 6-8 years, fixed appliances for thumb-sucking were the most commonly used. Additionally, fixed appliances for thumb sucking were the most frequently utilized habit-breaking devices among males.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the use of habit-breaking appliances was more frequent among males than female children in the studied population. Tongue thrusting emerged as the most common oral habit, with the tongue crib being the preferred appliance for addressing this issue.

One of the major threats to maize farming in Africa, especially Nigeria, is the menace of fall army worm. It has attacked to the point of reducing both quantity and quality leasing to eventual death of plant. Therefore, fall armyworm (FAW) being a serious menace to maize, a staple grain in Nigeria, need be controlled. This paper investigates maize farmer’s perception of the fall armyworm (FAW), menace; the farm- level management practices and production constraints.  Using questionnaire, 450 maize farmers purposively selected among maize farmers were interviewed. Mean (M) and percentages were used in analyzing data. Results showed that, farmers already knows the serious of fall army-worm infestation. They agreed that army-worms does great damage to the maize plant (M=42), reduces maize quality (M=2.89), great threat to maize production (M=3.50%), among others. To manage it, chemical insecticides /pesticides are used (99.3%), practice of crop rotation (100%), use of other crops as trap (95.5%), manual collection, distract of eggs/larvae (90.4%), early planting of maize (91.7%) and other measures. However, farmers face the following problems of producing maize under fall armyworm attack; high cost of pesticides (100%), high cost of labour charges (93.5%), inability to identity fall army-worm early (95.7%), unable to use the right amount of chemical (89.1%), lack of training on chemical use (96%), among other challenges.

The lagoon of La Paz has been affected by different anthropogenic activities, such as wastewater discharge and construction of marinas, which affect the local and transient ichthyofauna. Between august 2016 and June 2017, 2,763 organisms belonging to 72 species grouped in 51 genera were collected using an experimental trawl net. Temperature and dissolved oxygen presented a temporal variation, with August being the warmest month (28.17°C) and the lowest in oxygenation (12.44 mg*L), contrary to February (21.42°C) and June (21.9 mg*L). α-Fisher diversity was highest in Zacatecas (S=10.9); Las Palmas obtained the lowest (S=3.898). Alpha and average alpha diversities were highest in April (37, 11), beta diversity in August (3.4); lowest beta diversity was recorded in April (1.9), and lowest alpha during august (21). Taxonomic distinctness and average Taxonomic distinctness were highest in February (Δ*=85.95) and December (∆+=65.399); August recorded the lowest values (Δ*=50.55; ∆+=55.079). Variation in Taxonomic distincntess was highest in April (˄+=304.02) and lowest in august (˄+=304.02). Variability in such indices corresponds to the seasonal cycle of the Lagoon, with well-marked increases during the warm season, indicating stability in the conditions of the lagoon during the past years.

One of the main weaknesses of microbusinesses in surviving the crisis is their inability to adapt and their lack of resources. Knowledge and skills are essential resources for increasing competitive advantage. For this reason, this study aims to analyze the influence of digital capability on competitive advantage and its impact on firm survival in micro businesses. The research method used is a survey research method. The respondents in this study amounted to 108 microbusiness owners in Ciamis Regency. The data obtained was analyzed using the structural equation model (SEM) with the help of SmartPLS software version 3.2.9. The study results show that digital capability positively and significantly affects competitive advantage and firm survival. In addition, competitive advantage positively and substantially affects firm survival. A competitive advantage can also mediate the influence of digital capabilities on firm survival positively and significantly. We found that digital capabilities, rather than business capabilities, influence firm survival more. Therefore, microbusiness actors are advised to increase their knowledge and skills through training and strategic cooperation. These results support the resource-based view (RBV) theory, which has proven relevant and can be used in microbusiness.

“Los invisibles”: acercamiento a la salud de las personas que trabajan y viven en situación de calle
Authors: González González Luis
Published: August 2024

Esta investigación enfatiza la importancia de llevar a cabo un estudio más profunda sobre la población en situación de calle, incluyendo aquellos que viven y/o trabajan en las calles, pero también los que no tienen acceso a protección social integral o políticas públicas diseñadas específicamente para ellos. La salud de estas personas debe ser abordada con un análisis exhaustivo del complejo contexto en el que se encuentran y de los múltiples factores a los cuales están expuestos, esta situación está caracterizada por su vulnerabilidad frente a enfermedades prevenibles como transmisibles, mientras luchan día tras día por subsistir. En la actualidad, no existe una atención integral en cuanto a las políticas públicas relacionadas a la situación de calle. De hecho, el Estado paraguayo carece de una política específica al respecto. Las políticas sectoriales implementadas por los gobiernos locales y municipales resultan insuficientes para abordar correctamente las medidas de esta población vulnerable. Es fundamental que se desarrollen políticas más efectivas y coordinadas con el fin de garantizar su bienestar en Paraguay.
