Abiotic stress due to salinity is considered one of the main problems facing agriculture that has the detrimental effect of restricting the growth and development of plants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus species (Rhizophagus fasciculatum) as reliever of NaCl-stress in sweet basil seedlings in emergence stage. A completely randomized design with factorial arrangement with four replications was used; first factor was sweet basil varieties (Nufar, Genovese, and Napoletano), factor two were NaCl concentrations (0, 50, and 100 mM) and factor three was inoculation of seeds with Rhizophagus fasciculatum (+AMF) an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and non-inoculated seeds (−AMF). Chemical composition of the substrate, rate and emergence percentage, plant height, root length, fresh and dry biomass of aerial part and root, spore count, and colonization percentage were assessed. The results showed differences in all variables with Napoletano showing higher values of all variables at 0, 50 or 100 mM NaCl with AMF. Majority of variables decreased with NaCl concentrations. The substrate was suitable for growth of Rhizophagus fasciculatum and for sweet basil. No root colonization was found in any seedlings inoculated with AMF; however, the micrograph of the inoculated plants showed vegetative mycelium, a mycorrhizal structure that shows the initiation of the colonization process.

Many Mexican farmers have formed organizations to work toward common objectives, for example obtaining subsidies and training. The mechanisms that these groups use to achieve their goals and confront situations of change and vulnerability have not been studied in detail. The objective of this study was to analyze the organizational model used by a group of farmers –from the Frailesca region of Chiapas, Mexico– to confront situations of vulnerability and carry out social innovation processes. Using qualitative methods, we analyzed the influence on group performance of: public policy, relationships by which knowledge is exchanged, and values and norms. Results indicate that knowledge exchange within the group, as well as by group members toward other actors, is important for improving production; however, the following are also necessary: effective mechanisms of coordinating collective decision making, experience and capability of developing and implementing sustainable agricultural practices, a facilitator who promotes group cohesion and coordination, and social mechanisms (collective norms, values, sanctions) that provide the organization with legitimacy. The principal conclusion of this study is that a group with effective organizational mechanisms is capable of confronting situations of vulnerability through knowledge, cooperation, and social innovation.

The synanthropic species (weed) have been the object of study where they emphasize their attributes of adaptation to anthropogenic environments. The genus Physalis, is an ideal taxon to study the adaptation of these wild species to areas of cultivation. The objective of the research was to measure the adaptation of eight genotypes of Physalis in two localities, measured through an index to identify according to their morphological and physiological characteristics which are favorable to introduce them as cultivated plants. The experimental design was of complete randomized blocks with factorial arrangement having two study factors: genotypes and localities. The 16 treatments resulted from the combinations of eight species of Physalis and two localities located in Morelos and the State of Mexico. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and the means of the treatments were compared with the (HSD) test (p<0.05). To determine the relationship between the synanthropic index and the morphological and physiological variables, the correlation coefficients were estimated and regression equations were estimated between the index and the variables leaf area and number of seeds to establish a cause - effect relationship. Wild species of species cultivated in Mexico such as Physalis philadelphica and P. angulata presented the highest averages in all variables under study. It was confirmed that P. philadelphica with greater synanthropic index (1.5) had vigorous growth and increased production of dry matter, fruits and seeds. The variables foliar area and number of seeds showed positive and highly significant correlation with the index synanthropic. The correlation coefficients in Texcoco and Tlalquiltenango respectively were 0.84 and 0.85 for leaf area and 0.85 and 0.83 for number of seeds. The regression equations estimated between the synanthropic index and the leaf area variables and number of seeds showed greater adaptation of Physalis to be introduced as cultivated plants.
INSECTICIDAL EFFECTS OF ACETONE, ETHANOL AND AQUEOUS EXTRACTS OF Azadirachta indica (A. Juss), Citrus aurantium (L.), Citrus sinensis (L.) AND Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Dehnh.) AGAINST MEALYBUGS (HEMIPTERA: PSEUDOCOCCIDAE)

Mealybugs (Hemiptera; Pseudococcidae) are one of the noxious sucking pests infesting ornamental and horticulture crops including citrus. It is emerging as a severe threat to citrus industry in Indo-Pak region. This study determined in-vitro toxicity of different botanical extracts viz; neem (Azadirachta indica), sour orange (Citrus aurantium), sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) against adult females and 2nd instar nymphs of Drosicha mangiferae, a mealybug species regularly infesting citrus crop since last decade. Water, ethanol and acetone were used as extraction solvents. Leaf-dip and twig-dip methods were used for 2nd instar mealybug nymphs and adult female individuals, respectively. Five concentrations (0, 8, 16, 32 and 64%) of botanical extracts were bioassayed with four replications for each. Mortality of insects was observed at 24, 48 and 72 h post-treatment for nymphs and at 24 and 48 h post-treatment for adults. Data was subjected to probit analysis and two-way factorial ANOVA taking time and concentration as factors. Results revealed that the most toxic botanicals with minimum LC50 values against citrus mealybug adults were acetone extracts of A. indica and E. camaldulensis followed by ethanol extracts of C. sinensis seeds and C. aurantium leaves, while the most effective botanicals against 2nd instar mealybug nymphs were aqueous, ethanol and acetone extracts of A. indica and E. camaldulensis followed by ethanol extracts of C. sinensis peels and C. aurantium seeds. As expected, 2nd instar nymphs were found more susceptible to all extracts as compared to adult female individuals, most probably due to reduced penetration of botanical extract in adult insects due to powdery cushion on body. It is concluded that botanical insecticides can play a significant role in the management of insect/mite pests as being substitutes of toxic and hazardous synthetic chemicals. Particularly, neem (A. indica) and eucalyptus (E. camaldulensis) could be effective options against mealybugs and other hemipterous pests, and should be incorporated in the future pest management programs.

Published: August 2023

Black oat (Avena strigosa cv. Saia) silage (BOS) as an alternative forage for the dry season in small-scale dairy systems was evaluated against maize silage (MSL) at 6.0 kg DM/cow/day. Treatments were evaluated through on farm participatory livestock research: T1=100 BOS, T2=66:34 BOS:MSL, T3=34:66 BOS:MSL, and T4=100 MSL fed to milking dairy cows that also received 4.5 kg DM/cow/day of a commercial compound dairy concentrate and 2.2 kg DM/cow/day of cut-and-carry pasture. Eight Holstein cows were allotted to a replicated 4X4 Latin Square design, with 14 day experimental periods. Daily milk yields and milk composition were measured during the last four days, and live weight and body condition score recorded on the last day of each period. Feeding costs were determined by partial budget analysis. There were no differences in milk yield (15.9±0.26 kg/cow/day), or milk composition with mean values for milkfat of 38.8±0.86 g/kg, milk protein 32.2±0.38 g/kg, and lactose 46.3±0.22 g/kg. There were also no differences in milk urea nitrogen (MUN) with a mean of 11.8±0.83 mg/dl, live weight 385.6±1.67 kg, or body condition score with a mean of 2.6±0.01. Feeding costs per kg milk were 33% higher in T1 and T2 than T4, with intermediate feeding costs in T3 (T1=0.88, T2= 0.85, T3= 0.74, T4= 0.66 R$/kg). Profit margins and income/feeding costs were all positive. Black oat silage may be an alternative forage in small-scale dairy systems in the dry season when maize silage cannot be cultivated or fails due to climate concerns.

Published: August 2023

Cucumber productivity in Nigeria is low due to low native fertility status of the soil among other factors. This field experiment was conducted in February to June of 2015 and 2016 at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria to evaluate the effects of cattle and poultry manures on the productivity of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and their post-harvest effect on the chemical properties of the soil. The experiment was in a 2 x 4 split plot arrangement fitted into a randomized complete block design with three replications with the organic fertilizers (cattle and poultry manures) as main treatments the application rates (0, 5, 10 and 15 t ha- 1) as sub plots. Data were collected on growth and yield variables of cucumber. The results revealed that organic fertilizer types had no significant (p>0.05) effect on growth, yield and post-harvest variables except vine girth. The rate of application had significant (p<0.05) effect on growth, yield and post-harvest soil chemical properties. The highest fruit yields were 3.99 and 3.66 t ha-1 observed on plants treated with 15 and 10 t ha-1 of organic fertilizer, respectively. Based on convenience and cost, 10 t ha-1 of poultry manure is thereby recommended for farmers.

Acacia nilotica var adansonii (Guill. et Perr.) O. Ktze and Acacia raddiana (Savi) species are local ressources important to feed animals in Sahelian area of Burkina Faso. Thus, this experiment was to investigate the in vitro effect of both Acacias on ruminal fermentation, CH4 production and rumen microbial community using a semi-automatic system. In all experiments, 25 mL of the inoculum solution was incubated with 50 mL of buffered rumen fluid at 39 °C and gas production was measured at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h. The results show that A. nilotica was rich in condensed tannins and fiber content compared to A. raddiana which was rich in total tannins. A. raddiana treatment presented greater degradability of organic matter and lower CH4 production compared to A. nilotica and control group (P<0.05). In addition, methanogenic archaeal were significantly lower in A. raddiana associated with increased fungal communities abundance compared to A. nilotica (P<0.05), but no effects was observed on rumen bacteria R. flavefaciens and F. succinogenes (P>0.05). We conclude that A. nilotica leaves showed negative effect on ruminal fermentation due to high fiber and CT content, and A. raddiana could be an interesting plant to increase fiber digestion and reduce CH4 production in vitro.

Published: August 2023

The aim of this review is to present production alternatives based on animal welfare standards and good management practices on broiler and posture breeding. The excessive intensive production of eggs and chicken meat comes from the demand for food from a growing world population. And it has forgotten good animal husbandry and management practices. Which causes an imbalance of the sympathetic nervous system and adrenal medullary tissue that control the response of the poultry to stress, raising catecholamine levels inducing the release of glucose causing liver, heart and neuronal failure. these effects become visible due to the increase of diseases since the immune system is depressed, food intake decreases, oxytocin inhibition, which results in reduced reproduction and even death of the poultry. The incorporation of animal welfare standards imposed in intensive breeding, as well as, the production of eggs and meat under production systems (grazing) and backyard production become a sustainable alternative that maximizes the welfare of the poultry

The objective of the work was to evaluate the soil quality of the micro basin Jun Jun, by registering bioindicators such as Lumbricus terrestris. Three altitudes were selected in the micro basin 3027, 3210 and 3405 meters above sea level. In each of them, 3 earthworm samplings were carried out in soils with pastures (P) and soils without fallow crops (B), 18 samplings were carried out. The relation of the bioindicators with the amount of organic matter (OM, CO, pH, temperature and Total Nitrogen) existing in the soil was established. With emphasis on the L. terrestris, the count was made following the methodology developed by the United States Department of Agriculture. The soils of the upper part had a higher (P = 0.0041) density of earthworms (18.75 individuals / m2) and the soils of the middle zone had a lower density (0.50 individuals / m2). The results reflect the intensification by mechanization and use of pesticides that are receiving these soils, as well as a weak contribution of the ecological functions of earthworms to the soil.

Key Points to Remember When Using Internal Standards for Sample Analysis by ICP-OES
Authors: Bradshaw Deborah K.
Published: August 2023

Using internal standards is a common technique to correct for variations in sample matrices and the affect this has on analyte intensities. There are several basic criteria to be considered when using internal standards: selection of appropriate internal standards, the concentration added to the solutions analyzed, setting up in the correct view (axial vs. radial), how to introduce the internal standard to the solutions to be analyzed, and evaluating the resulting data. Each of these topics are considered and suggestions presented.

Published: August 2023

This study set out to examine the role of folklore in conservation of mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda. Attention was put on exploring the types of folklore that are available for conservation of mountain gorillas among the communities; and the application of folklore in conservation of mountain gorillas in the Southern Sector of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The study involved in seeking an understanding of the people’s interpretations, perceptions, opinions, and ideas concerning the conservation of mountain gorillas. A purely qualitative case study research design was employed to achieve the study objectives.  Purposive sampling techniques were used to select respondents for the study. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions with the respondents were employed to collect the required data. The results confirmed an array of folklores including legends, myths, folkloric names, folk dances and songs, harvesting beliefs, taboos, and totems that were used in the conservation of the mountain gorillas. Folklores also inculcated conservation attitudes and behaviors that concerned some other plants and animals into the members of the local community. The research findings confirmed that folklores can be integrated into community-based conservation programs, conservation policies, resource access programmes, eco-tourism, school curriculum and education and awareness programmes for an effective conservation of important biodiversity including mountain gorillas.

Hence, documentation of folklore, integration of folklore in the National Education Curriculum, involvement of folklore users in the conservation policy making processes, and development of the Uganda national folklore policy are very essential for the continued conservation of the mountain gorillas.

The paper examined the impact of monetary and fiscal policy instrument on rice productivity and employed vector auto-regressive model using Augmented Dickey Fuller unit root text, followed by Johansen Co-integration test among the series using annual data for the period 1981-2016. The results also show that all the monetary and fiscal policy instrument fitted co-integrate with rice production. Therefore, long run relationship exists among the variables and rice productivity. In the long-run, interest rate, exchange rate, money supply and public expenditure significantly affected rice productivity with adjusted R2 value of 60%. The result also shows that there is deceleration in exchange rate, interest rate and rice output. The speed of adjustment where monetary and fiscal policies variables will equate rice productivity in the short run is- 0.365830. The study concludes that there exist no short-run effects of policies instruments on rice productivity but on the long run. From this finding, the study recommended regulations of interest rate to a single digit, exchange rate should be friendly. Government should increase spending to agriculture and by extension policy focus on rice production to boost rice productivity). The study also recommended government regulation of policies instruments and to desist from frequent policies change.Keywords: monetary policy; fiscal policy; vector auto regressive; co-integration; augmented 
A Data Envelopment Analysis or Goal Programming Model with Fuzzy Preferences of Decision Makers
Authors: BANNOUR Boutheina
Published: August 2023

Due to the complexity and uncertainty involved in real world decision problems, the determination and interpretation of Decision Makers' preference relations remain a challenging task for them. This paper develops a novel procedure for incorporating preference information in the efficiency analysis of Decision Making Units. The efficiency of Decision Making Units is defined in the spirit of Data Envelopment Analysis, complemented with Decision Maker's preference information. Our procedure begins by aiding the different decision making group members to express their incomplete fuzzy preferences by using a multiple objective linear programming approach for generating a common set of weights in the DEA framework.

Published: August 2023

The article makes a critical analysis of the attractiveness of the Romanian legislative framework for foreign investors. The analysis goes beyond national borders and extends to Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary, as we believe that the states in the region, EU members and with a similar transition history, are formidable rivals for Romania in the race to attract FDI, able to capture the advantages of this type of investment to the detriment of Romania. In this part we emphasize the fact that, in the absence of increased attention paid to these issues, Romania risks losing its attractiveness for FDI, with negative consequences on its economic development. The research methods included observation methods, comparison methods and generalization methods, and the result of the research is its own considerations regarding the controversies of investment policy and FDI determinants, the controversies of the globalization process, the role of FDI in the global economy, such as and their positive role in modernizing Romania and enhancing future opportunities in the national economy.Keywords: foreign investors; economic development; FDI; transition; investment

This study seeks to interrogate the impact of claim management on the profitability of non-life insurance companies in Ghana covering the years 2013-2020. The study employs the fixed effects and random effects techniques with data covering the period 2013-2020. Hausman test is used as an appropriate approach to conduct this study. Our work measured profitability utilizing interpretive financial tools such as return on assets (ROA) and returns on equity (ROE). The results of our research indicates that claim ratio and retention ratio have a profound adverse impact on return on asset. In terms of return on equity (ROE), claim ratio and expense ratio negatively and significantly affect profitability. This study recommends that non-life insurance companies should institute an effective claim processing system with highly qualified, experienced, trained and technical staff to ensure efficiency in claims management.
Asymmetric Information and Ranked Information Are Equivalent in Making Information Utilization Heterogeneous
Authors: HARASHIMA Taiji
Published: August 2023

In information economics, any piece of information is assumed to have the same value across people, even if the information is distributed asymmetrically. However, in actuality, information has different values across people, even if it is distributed equally, because people utilize the same information differently and reach different conclusions with it. In this paper, I construct a model of heterogeneous information utilization by introducing the concept of ranked information. I conclude that the effects of asymmetric information and ranked information on economic activities are essentially equivalent. However, there are still some differences between them, and ranked information will be more economically important than asymmetric information. Furthermore, ranked information can cause an extreme economic inequality.
The Human Rights Commitments of Private Fusion Energy Companies
Authors: RUTHERFORD Angelica
Published: August 2023

Although the fusion energy sector is at a nascent stage, the private fusion energy market has grown. There are currently 38 private fusion energy companies around the world aiming to commercialize fusion energy technologies in early 2030s and 2040s. Given the capability of fusion energy in transforming today’s energy paradigm and the global character of the market, it is important to analyze how these companies are interacting with international human rights standards. Therefore, this work investigates the involvement of the private fusion energy sector with two voluntary international initiatives in particular: the UN Global Compact and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP). This study attempts to answer two research questions: (i) Are private fusion energy companies participating in the UN Global Compact? (ii) How are private fusion energy companies publicly implementing the UNGP? Content analysis of secondary data collected from the UN Global Compact, Fusion Industry Association, ITER and companies’ official websites as well as published reports is adopted. In summary, this work finds that private fusion energy companies are neither participants nor signatories of the UN Global Compact. Their observance of the UNGP is also very poor. This study contributes to the field by highlighting this gap which the private fusion energy companies need to consider and take measures towards, in order to create a salutary human rights sector.
Analysis of the Structure of Various Components for Gross Fixed Capital Formation. Comparative Study Case for Poland and Other Selected European Countries
Authors: SZLASKA Izabela
Published: August 2023

Considering the literature which demonstrates the high importance of investment in creating a competitive advantage for the economy and economic growth, an analysis was made of the structure of some elements of gross fixed capital formation in the Polish economy and few selected European countries. This made it possible to identify the situation of the Polish economy over the years in terms of the structure of investment, and to attempt in answering to the question of whether the rate of accumulation of fixed capital in Poland is sufficient to close, or reduce the distance of development in relation to highly developed countries. In Poland, the leader among the sectors which absorb the largest percentage of investments remains expenditures with construction assets, and the smallest expenditure with intellectual property products. Poland is one of the countries with high GDP growth over the years. However, along with GDP growth, a decreasing trend can be seen in the sphere of investment expenditures, which does not allow for the reduction of the development gap. The methods used include an analysis of the literature, data contained in statistical databases (GUS and Eurostat) and specialized reports (PARP). The period of analysis covers the years 2004-2020 due to the fact that Poland's accession to the European Union took place in 2004, which allows for accurate international comparisons.
