Field experiment conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore in finger millet during the rainy season of 1998 and 1999 revealed that two intercultivations at 20 and 40 days after sowing (DAS) + one hand weeding on 35 DAS or pre-emergence application of Isoproturon @ 0.5 kg ai ha as spray effectively controlled the weeds resulting in lesser weed population and weed dry matter production (DMP), which in turn favourably influenced the yield attributes, yield and economic returns of rainfed finger millet compared to other weed control treatments. The unweeded check recorded the maximum weed population and weed DMP and hence, resulted in drastic yield reduction in finger millet under rainfed conditions.

The seeds treated with Penshibao at 50 and 100 ppm were raised in field applied with 5 and 10 kg Zn ha' according to treatments. Penshibao at 50 and 100 ppm were given as foliar spray three times at 20 days interval commencing from 20 DAT. Significant per se effect of pretreatment of seeds with penshibao, basal application of zinc and foliar application of penshibao was observed on various yield traits. Beneficial effect of penshibao has been attributed to the micronutrients present in it. Both zinc and penshibao influenced the number of fruits, fruit weight by improving the sink strength. Among the 27 treatment combinations, seed treatment with penshibao 50 ppm and soil application of zinc 5 kg ha followed by 3 applications of 50 ppm penshibao at 20 days interval commencing from 20 DAT has been identified as the best combination based on yield and economic returns.

The range of variation for 14 different characters indicated wide differences among the genotypes. The magnitudes of GCV were more or less equivalent to PCV for most of the characters studied indicating the least influence of the environment. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean and high GCV were recorded for grain yield, straw yield, ear head weight, number of secondary branches, number of primary branches and plant height indicating the presence of additive gene action for these traits. Number of primary and secondary branches, number of whorls, leaf width and length, number of leaves and plant height showed strong positive correlation with yield. Selection for number of whorls, primary and secondary branches, leaf length, number of leaves, plant height and ear head weight might be effective in achieving higher yield in red grain sorghum hybrids.

Azolla is a small water fern that assimilates nitrogen in symbiotic association with Anabaena azollae. The algal symbiont resides in the leaf cavity of Azolla and provides fixed nitrogen and other growth promoting substances to the host Azolla in exchange for nutrients and carbon sources. The heterocyst frequency of algal symbiont A. azollae under nitrogen limiting condition was 30 per cent. The algal symbiont showed polymorphism in different Azolla cultures. The growth of Azolla is influenced very much by season, phosphorus, growth regulators, herbicides and salinity. Azolla mineralizes rapidly and its nitrogen is made available to the rice in a very short period. It is estimated that nitrogen contribution by Azolla is 40-60 kg ha" besides improving the soil health. Azolla inoculation at 500 kg ha on 7 DAT along with 75 kg N ha increased the grain and straw yield of rice significantly. Inoculation of Azolla hybrid AH-C2 coupled with USG at 75 kg N ha increased the grain and straw yield of CO 43 rice besides increasing the plant N content and N uptake in sodic soil.

Published: June 2023

The Zn and B adsorption data clearly shows that the soils not only vary in their capacity to retain Zn and B but also in the energy with which they adsorb it. These two factors affect the ability of a soil to release Zn and B and to maintain supply in the soil solution. The rate of adsorption Zn and B study indicate that the equilibrium period of 24 h was sufficient to study the Zn and B adsorption characteristics of soils. The Elovichian model best described the kinetics of Zn and B adsorption by these soils. Though adsorption of Zn and B confirmed to both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms, the fit was excellent with Langmuir adsorption isotherm for Zn and Freundlich adsorption isotherm for B. Clay, OM, CEC of the soils were significantly correlated with K values of Freundlich equation for B adsorption, b values of Langmuir equation for Zn adsorption. Removal of either OM or CaCO, reduced the adsorption capacity of B in the soils of Tamil Nadu. The study on the adsorption of Zn indicates that removal of OM, addition of P reduced the adsorption capacity as well as energy of its adsorption. P fertilization reduced the Zn requirement for optimum plant growth in soils of Tamil Nadu.

Published: June 2023

A study conducted in Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh in 1998 revealed that majority of the cotton farmers possessed medium level of knowledge on cotton cultivation and fell under medium adoption category. Cotton farmers had requisite knowledge on the basics of cotton cultivation like varieties, seed rate, spacing, time of sowing, dosages of fertilizers to be applied, reasons for the use of nitrogenous fertilizers, important pests and their control measures, synthetic pyrethroids, diseases of cotton, types of sprayers to be used and optimum number of irrigations to be given to cotton crop. The level of knowledge ranged between 10-38% in the prime areas of cotton cultivation like plant protection measures, input use, integrated pest management and recommended number of sprayings of synthetic pesticides while the adoption level was very high for these items. The practices like application of potassic fertilizers, chemical, control of leaf spot, chemical control of weeds and shedding of floral parts were totally not adopted.

Cinco anos se passaram até este momento, desde as primeiras intervenções realizadas na
comunidade Ribeirinha de João Pilatos em 2018. Ao longo destes anos, a cultura
ribeirinha passou a ser objeto de estudo particular e intervenções, sendo referência para
projetos de extensão no campo da educação física dentro da docência do ensino
superior, através da disciplina Ensino da cultura corporal Amazônica na matriz curricular
da instituição de ensino superior ao qual faço parte.
Ao todo, durante este trajeto temporal, seguem 11 intervenções em regiões onde o “rio “
faz parte do cotidiano das pessoas, com seu caráter utilitário, de esporte e lazer, fazendo
parte do movimento historicamente construído da cultura ribeirinha. Torna-se raro
encontrar bibliografias que estimulem a construção de políticas públicas de incentivo às
manifestações e comportamentos destes povos tradicionais, bem como o incentivo à
"participação social“ como elemento norteador de respeito a bagagem cultural alinhada
ao aprendizado da cultura local, frente aos desafios de uma educação multiculturalista.
A relevância deste documento de apoio ao processo de ensino aprendizagem, bem como
seu impacto direto na sociedade, perpassam pela valorização da identidade cultural,
pertencimento local e disseminação de uma cultura rica em manifestações de práticas
corporais alinhadas aos elementos da cultura amazônica.

Esta tese teve como objetivo analisar o desenvolvimento de um site em educação física para professores e alunos de educação física do ensino médio da Seduc-PA como alternativa motivadora no enfrentamento dos desafios e potencialidades frente às novas problemáticas presentes no cotidiano da sociedade, por meio de pesquisa exploratória e uma investigação do tipo quantitativa. Percebeu-se que as aulas de Educação Física do Ensino Regular das escolas da rede estadual do Pará que nos últimos 10 anos o alunado não tem tido interesse em participar das atividades elaboradas pelos professores de Educação Física por uma série de motivos a saber: os espaços físicos para a prática regular das atividades são inadequados enquanto estrutura física, falta de material esportivos, o alunado aponta falta de investimento para a adequação necessária das novas diretrizes dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais. Considerando a questão da perda de interesse do alunado do ensino médio regular da rede estadual de ensino do estado do Pará pelas práticas das aulas de Educação Física, faz-se necessário uma reflexão/intervenção quanto ao processo de melhorias de um novo modelo considerando o momento atual do advento das tecnologias digitais educacionais, haja vista que os alunos desta etapa de ensino têm demonstrado grande interesse em estudar e adquirir conhecimento por meio das tecnologias em questão. Para que haja uma sensível mudança no quadro que se apresenta das práticas de Educação Física no Ensino Médio Regular da rede estadual do Pará se faz necessário uma readequação dos conteúdos a serem aplicados nas séries desta etapa de ensino com uso de metodologias ativas e equipamentos de tecnologias digitais para que possamos despertar o interesse e atrair o alunado trazendo de volta para o conhecimento dos estudos da Educação Física em acordo com a nova BNCC – Base Nacional Curricular de forma interativa e dinâmica.

The objective of this research is to investigate consumer behavior and factors influencing the purchasing of brand-name products through online channels, specifically focusing on consumers in Mueang District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Provinceม. The study aims to gain insights into the behaviors and factors influencing consumer purchasing decisions in this specific region. The research will involve collecting data from a sample group of 400 participants. The statistical analysis will encompass descriptive statistics, such as frequency, mean, and standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics, including the chi-square test, multiple regression analysis, and logistic regression analysis. The study findings reveal the following key insights: Firstly, personal factors, such as gender, occupation, and income, significantly impact the choice of purchasing channels, types of products purchased, preferred payment methods, average expenditure per purchase, and recipients of the purchased products. Secondly, risk factors play a crucial role in determining the preferred purchasing channels and payment methods among consumers. Thirdly, the acceptance of technology significantly influences the choice of payment methods adopted by consumers. Finally, perceived value factors have a significant impact on the choice of purchasing channels, primary motivations for making purchases, and preferred payment methods.
Intersectionality’s Revisiting The Latinx Identity Phenomenon At Hispanic-Serving Institutions
Authors: Suzan Yesil
Published: June 2023

Hispanic-serving institutions educate students of color within racialized organizational and policy structures. This study looks at how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) plans at Hispanic-serving community colleges construct narratives of intersectional diversity and racialized Latinx identity (HSCCs). Using critical discourse analysis, critical race theory, and LatCrit, the analysis broadens DEI policy implementation at HSCCs. The findings demonstrate the interdependence of state-level policy, policy implementation guidance, and institutional-level discourse on intersectional diversity and demographic data. It also pays sufficient attention to the racial composition and HSI status of Latinx students. This study demonstrates how state-level diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies can either advance or eliminate Latinx intersectionality.

The benefit of computerisation in the organisation, either public or private, is essential to make the organisation's activities run effectively and efficiently. lt simplifies the complexities in getting data, analysing it and producing the output in a specified format based on the result of the program analysis of the data used. Despite the complexities of both entries and analysis of vast data of the applicant records, this project is aimed at simplifying it by designing a computer-based program that will manage part of the activities taking place at the Nigerian Institute Of Leather And Science Technology and also will perform all necessary tasks of analysing those that will yield the correct and meaningful result (output) format in the required by the Institute recruitment. The program produces a room for using an entry form as an interface between the database and the data, which will then be analysed and the desired result produced. The development of the analysed data is then presented in a specific format using the report designed to suit the usual request by the Nigerian police recruitment on such report or data. This includes the applicant's Name, qualifications and other things the applicant records. Therefore the computer program developed in this project work. Serve as a considerable improvement over this existing system and as a tool for technology development for Nigerian police recruitment.

The selection of soils for construction of engineering structures is done on the basic of set number of criteria. In road construction, the criteria used are the value of the CBR index at 4 days imbibition. For earth dams and road embankments where materials should be compacted at their maximum dry density, we will adopt the criterion: the compaction characteristics at its optimum modified proctor. The determination of these criteria are very time consuming and can generate several delays which is inconsistent with the strategies of productivity of Publics Works companies. To reduce these delays, relations permitting us to predict their values from soil identification parameters should be developed. In this context, 1500 laboratory test results obtained from samples collected throughout the Cameroon territory were studied. Correlations which obtained were tested on around thirty results gave a prediction with error lower than 6.02%.
Effect of wave height on harbor wall height in coastal waters using computational fluid dynamics
Authors: Isak Lilipory  , Jozua Ch. Huwae
Published: June 2023

An essential aspect of the sustainable design of harbor walls is the determination of the design wave condition. It is predicted by utilizing severe wave conditions from the past 10 to 20 years. The tourism harbor in Central Maluku, Indonesia, is located where extreme wave conditions occur. Therefore, this research studies the wave height before and after constructing a harbor wall in the harbor area. The wave height was simulated using numerical modelling. The methodology was performed by using the coastal modelling software of the CFD model. The result shows the highest design wave height values of 0.5 m, 0.75 m, and 1 m in the direction from the southeast to harbor height 1 m. The simulation results show that the wave height is 1.5 m and the harbor height is still safe. Further study is needed to simulate the extension of harbor wall length to meet the criteria for wave height in the harbor basin.
