Authors: John Jovin , Kambona Selina
Published: October 2024

This study examined the influence of Human Resources Management Practices (HRMP) on voluntary employee turnover in commercial banks in Tanzania, focusing on CRDB Bank in the Northern Zone of Tanzania with a specific focus in Arusha, Kilimanjaro, and Manyara. It was observed that the bank operates in a highly competitive environment and face unique regional dynamics in so doing the zone has experienced high turnover rates than other branches despite HRM practices are consistent over all branches according to HR report in 2021. We therefore examines key HRM practices, including recruitment, training and development, compensation, rewarding performance and performance appraisals as critical parameters that influence turnover dynamics. The research design was a sequential explanatory design whereby quantitative data were first collected and analyzed followed by qualitative. Mixed approaches were applied. It targeted employees working in 40 Branches including Brach managers, employees from various departments, and exit employees who were contacted. The total population was 354 people with a sample size of 188 participants. Data collection involved a questionnaire for 183 staff working in the northern zone. Other five (5) participants; Human resources officer from, two Brach managers and exit employees were interviewed to grasp other unique factors for turnover in the respective zone.  Since the population was heterogeneous Stratified sampling was used to get these percipients. Descriptive statistics was employed with the help of a statistical package for social science SPSS 26 Version. The findings reveal that well-executed recruitment and selection processes, training and development programs, and compensation practices play a pivotal role in reducing turnover. However, it is noteworthy that performance appraisal alone does not significantly influence voluntary turnover, while job design modifications exert a clear and meaningful negative effect on turnover within the organization. The study recommends that CRDB Bank can proactively manage and reduce voluntary employee turnover in the Northern Zone by focusing on various aspects of HRM practices and the work environment.

Published: October 2024

Afield experiment was conducted to study gene effects by using 6 generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2) of each of four crosses (RSG-973 × HC-5, RSG-963 × RSG-973, CSJD-884 × Avrodhi and RSG-974 × CSJ-515). The G × E interaction was found significant in each cross for all characters. The mean performance was greater for every character in every generation of every cross under timely sowing compared to late sowing conditions. The environment and the genetic constitution of parents used in the crosses affected the magnitude as well asthe direction of the various components of the gene (d, h, i, j, and l) in the majority of cases. Duplicate epistasis was more prevalent than complementary epistasis. The magnitude of dominance effects and epistasis effects were observed higher than additive and main effects, respectively. Under both conditions, mostly crosses for various traits showed the prevalence of nonadditive type of gene effects (h, j, and l).

Authors: Varun Tyagi  , Amrit Lamichaney  , AK Parihar  , GP Dixit
Published: October 2024

In the present study, the 25 genotypes were grouped into two seed color groups including pigmented (n = 19; black, brown, dark brown, grey, dark grey seed color) and unpigmented (n = 6; cream and white seed color) for studying the association of seed coat color with seed vigor. Despite high germination (>84%) of all genotypes in the laboratory, unpigmented genotypes recorded low (34-54%) field emergence than pigmented genotypes (52-78%). Rapid initial (30 min) rate of water uptake (-0.75**), water uptake at one hour of imbibition (-0.70**), low proportion of seed coat (0.67**), and greater electrical conductivity of seed leachate (-0.72**) was associated with low field emergence in unpigmented cowpea genotypes. No significant correlation or association was observed between field emergence and laboratory germination in the present investigation suggesting that laboratory germination can not be used for predicting field emergence in cowpea. Instead, the electrical conductivity of seed leachate could be used to predict the field emergence of cowpea.

Published: October 2024

Seed priming enhances seed quality, and is crucial for plant development under stresses like salinity, heat, and drought. This study examines silicic and humic acid (HA+SA) treatment on lentil seeds under salinity stress, focusing on susceptible (PSL-9, PDL-1) and tolerant (IPL-316) varieties. Priming agents included silicic acid (3mM, 18 hours), humic acid (600 ppm, 18 hours), and their combination (100 ppm+1mM HA + SA, 16 hours). Seedling survival under salinity stress (100, 120, 140 mM) was evaluated under hydroponics conditions. Salinity stress significantly reduced seed quality and physiobiochemical parameters in unprimed control seeds, especially in PDL-1 and PSL-9, compared to IPL-316. Higher seedling percentage and growth were noted in IPL-316 seeds primed with HA + SA under salinity stress. This improvement is due to better photoactivation of PS-I and PS-II, ROS activity, and antioxidant availability, enhancing seedling growth under salinity. The study highlights the importance of SA and HA priming agents in promoting seedling growth under salinity stress.

Published: October 2024

Weeds are one of the most problematic factors for chickpea cultivation due to their negative effects on yield reduction in Iran. In the present investigation, new PRE-herbicide (flumioxazin) with different rates as IBS (incorporated before sowing), PRE, and Early-post with previously used herbicides were compared for controlling weeds and subsequently increasing in grain yield of chickpea. Results showed that PRE flumioxazin at rates 50, 75, and 100 g ai ha-1, oxyflourfen and flumioxazin + pyridate reduced total dry weed biomass 79 to 83.2%. These reductions (total dry weed biomass) were 59 to 73% by application of PRE flumioxazin at 50, 75 and 100 g ai ha-1, oxyfluorfen, flumioxazin + pyridate and pyridate in Kurdistan and 70 to 74.5% in Hamedan by application of IBS and PRE flumioxazin at 50, 75 and 100 g ai ha-1, oxyfluorfen, flumioxazin + pyridate. The grain yield of chickpea was greatest [Kermanshah (1489.5 kg ha-1), Hamedan (312 kg ha-1), and Kurdistan (2015 kg ha-1)] in PRE flumioxazin at 50 g ai ha-1 application after hand weeding. According to the results, PRE flumioxazin at 50 g ai ha-1 is the most suitable treatment to control broadleaf weeds and increase yield in autumn-sown chickpea.

Published: October 2024

In the present study, a field experiment was laid out to assess the suitability of two short-duration varieties of red gram and standardize the agronomic management practices. The treatments included combinations of two varieties, two spacings, and three nutrient levels. Individual effects of the variety, APK 1, narrow spacing, and the highest nutrient level were found superior for yield and its contributing attributes. The pooled analysis registered the highest seed yield (1.38 t ha-1) in the combination APK 1 + 40 cm × 20 cm + 40:80:40 kg NPK ha-1. The net returns and benefit-cost ratio were also the highest. Soil available nutrient status was found to be augmented with the cultivation, with wider spacing and the highest nutrient dose recording maximum postharvest soil NPK contents. The results proved that the variety APK 1 and the agronomic management of 40 cm × 20 cm spacing with 40:80:40 kg NPK ha-1 are most suitable for red gram cultivation in southern Kerala.

Published: October 2024

Present investigation was undertaken for efficacy of fungicides like i.e., carboxin 37.5% + thiram 37.5% WS (vitavax), pyraclostrobin 100 g/L CS, propiconazole 25% EC, hexaconazole 5% EC, thiophanate methyl 70% WP, carbendazim 50% WP, mancozeb 75% WP, chlorothalonil 75% WP and captan 70% + hexaconazole 5% WP were evaluated in-vitro at three concentrations viz., 100, 125 and 200 ppm concentration against S. rolfsii on PDA by poisoned food technique. The result revealed that increase in concentration of the fungicides caused increased inhibition of mycelial growth of pathogen. Among these, carboxin 37.5% + thiram 37.5% WS (vitavax) was completely inhibited mycelial growth of pathogen at 100 ppm, 125 ppm & 200 ppm. Followed by hexaconazole 5% EC in mycelial growth inhibition of 95.44, 97.22 and 100% at 100, 125 and 200 ppm, respectively. At 200 ppm both hexaconazole 5% EC and carboxin 37.5% + thiram 37.5% WS (vitavax) is statistically at par in growth inhibition. While, mancozeb 75% WP was found least effective at all concentrations against S. rolfsii. Most effective in-vitro evaluate fungicides tested for their efficacy against disease under pot experiment along with treatment application methods viz., pre-emergence drenching, seed treatment and integration of both seed treatment and post emergence seedling drenching at 7 days after germination (7 DAG) against collar rot disease of chickpea in pot experiment. All the treatments proved significantly superior when compared with inoculated control. Maximum percent reduction in PESR (100.00%) was recorded in vitavax power applied through seed treatment followed by hexaconazole recorded (90.91%) reduction in PESR. Maximum percent reduction in PESM (62.50%) was recorded in hexaconazole applied through integration of seed treatment & post emergence seedling drenching at 7 DAG. Which, was followed by vitavax power observed (50.00%) reduction in PESM. Seed treatment alone reduced PESR while, integration of seed treatment and post emergence seedling drenching at 7 DAG also reduced PESM. Among treated pots highest grain yield recorded (45.90 g/pot) in hexaconazole applied through integration of integration of seed treatment and post emergence seedling drenching at 7 DAG followed by vitavax power (43.33 g/pot).

Published: October 2024

The presentstudy aimed to develop ready-to-eat extruded snacks by incorporating kidney bean flour (0-25%) or green gram flour (0-25%) in a cornpearlmillet (70:30) flour blend. All flours were tested for their compositional and nutritional parameters (crude fibre, carotenoid, phyticacid, polyphenols, iron, zinc, and total dietary fibre). Evaluation of pasting characteristics, water absorption, and dough extensibility of flours and physical (bulk density, expansion ratio, sectional expansion index, and hardness) and sensory properties of extruded snacks weredone. The addition of pulses reduced pasting values, resistance to extension, and extensibility of flour while increasing water absorptions significantly (p<0.05). Physical properties and sensory characteristics of extrudates were also significantly (p<0.05) reduced by pulses addition. However, considering nutritional aspects, kidney bean flour up to 15% or green gram flour up to 10% is recommended to be incorporated for obtaining extrudates of desirable quality. Both pulses hadsimilar effects on product quality, but the use of green gram flour is preferred over kidney bean due to its minimum anti-nutritional factors available in the resulting product.

Църковните епархии във Вардарска Македония между двете световни войни
Authors: Йовчев Иван
Published: October 2024

По време на Първата световна война и непосредствено след нея епархиите във Вардарска Македония неколкократно сменят своя юридически управител. Това явление вероятно се дължи на бързо променящата се политическа ситуация в региона. Това означава, че църковната структура и управлението на дадена църковна област пряко зависят от политическата ситуация в нея и винаги политическият елемент е по-силен от църковния в духовното управление на дадена територия. Така от 1920 г. (с изключение на годините по време на Втората световна война) до днес епархиите във Вардарска Македония са под юрисдикцията на Сръбската православна църква (СПЦ). В днешно време този факт поражда много спорове и постоянно напрежение между Сърбия и Северна Македония.

За целта са привлечени документи от личния архив на проф. д-р Тапкова-Заимова, от личния архив на Б. Бешевлиев и някои публикации на страниците на „Etudes Balkaniques“. Представен е и приносът на самата проф. д-р Тапкова-Заимова, която наследява В. Бешевлиев на поста ръководител на катедрата (до 1989 г.). Второто поколение млади (тогава) учени, поели по пътя на изследванията в областта на историческата география, е представено от В. Бешевлиев и Е. Тодорова.
Проучванията на Веселин Бешевлиев върху византийските извори за управлението на хан Крум
Authors: Петрова Деница
Published: October 2024

Сред най-значимите приноси на Веселин Бешевлиев в българската наука са изследванията му върху византийските извори за управлението на хан Крум. Той обръща внимание на оригиналните текстове на някои извори, които са малко известни в българската наука. Съчетавайки исторически и филологически методи на анализ, Бешевлиев прави задълбочена съпоставка на отделните текстове, която хвърля светлина върху слабо проучени исторически събития. Днес някои от тезите му са преработени, но това не намалява тяхната стойност, а теориите му са отправна точка за изследванията на бъдещите поколения учени.
Два орнитоморфни графита от храма „Св. София“, Константинопол
Authors: Томов Тома
Published: October 2024

Първата графична рисунка от северната галерия, която представяме тук, съдържа хералдически орел. Византия наследява от Рим използването на едноглавия орел като една от емблемите на имперската власт, но изглежда, че употребата му като военна инсигния изчезва твърде бързо. Въпреки това релефите, както и миниатюрите, запазват традицията на едноглавия орел за дълго време. Благодарение на модата на източните тъкани, която превръща двуглавия орел в доминираща украса на дворцовите облекла през Комниновия период, обичайният едноглав орел е почти напълно заменен от тази нова, въображаема версия. Тялото на граﬃтовия орел има форма на сълза и с почти кръглата си горна част намира близък паралел с някои от орлите върху източните тъкани. Други детайли обаче насочват към византийската традиция на бродираните копринени тъкани и релефи. Всичко това би могло да насочи към относителна датировка на графетата между Х и ХІІІ век.
Втората графична рисунка представлява двуглав орел, застанал в хералдическа поза от южната галерия. Рисунката на графита представлява по-късен образ на коронован двуглав орел, тъй като примерите с такъв мотив са по-разпространени през XIV и XV в., когато той се появява върху мраморни релефи, текстил с бродерия, печати, монети, сграфито керамика и ръкописни илюстрации. От края на XIV - началото на XV в. може да се установи, че главите на двуглавите орли започват да се появяват с корони или, много често, с малка лилия. Въз основа на всички детайли, но най-вече на крилата и формата на торса, както и на шпората на левия крак, е възможно да се приеме относителната датировка на първата от рисунките от гравюри в рамките на времевия интервал между XIV и XV век. Гръцкият надпис (Tornikios) би могъл хипотетично да свърже някой представител на известната арменска (или грузинска) фамилия с изобразения двуглав орел.
Струва ми се, че в орнитоморфните гравюри от църквата в Агия София не е възможно да се види нищо друго освен общ образ на властта или триумф на доброто.
Архиепископията на България - Първенство и приемственост
Authors: Павлов Павел
Published: October 2024

Настоящата статия има за цел да покаже ясната линия на апостолската приемственост и апостолското основаване на Българската архиепископия и нейната пряка връзка с Юстиниана Прима, но в конкретна историческа приемственост, т.е. чрез Плиска и Преслав, а не чрез Охрид. Приемствеността се отнася и до името на църквата и, както е и в този случай, винаги се споменава България или българин. Това име носи в себе си не само държавност, но повече от всичко друго - църковност и църковно строителство. В този смисъл то е белег по-скоро на църковност, отколкото на етническа принадлежност. Това прави темата предимно богословска или богословско-историческа. Това не е само исторически въпрос и съвременните термини не са без значение.
Кирило-Методиевската проблематика в книжнината на Охридската архиепископия
Authors: Илиев Илия
Published: October 2024

Литературната дейност, която се развива в рамките на Охридската архиепископия през периода от нейното възникване в началото на XI в. до времето, когато Димитър Хоматиан заема архиепископския престол в Охрид (началото на XIII в.), е разнообразна и богата Важно място в нея заемат въпросите, свързани с делото на светите братя Кирил и Методий и пренасянето на това дело в България по времето на княз Борис I. Това се дължи на факта, че тези въпроси са били използвани от охридските архиепископи за отстояване на независимия статут на архиепископията по отношение на Константинополската патриаршия. От най-съществено значение за проследяване на кирило-методиевската тема в съчиненията на висшия църковен клир, оглавявал архиепископията през разглеждания период, са следните извори: Климент Охридски, известно още като Дългото житие на Климент, написано от архиепископ Теофилакт през XI в.; 2) Запазеният списък на охридските архиепископи, съставен в средата на XII в. по времето на архиепископ Йоан Комнин (т.нар. Дюканжов списък); и 3) Краткото житие на свети Климент Охридски, написано през XIII в. от архиепископ Димитрий Хоматиан.
Архиепископията в Охрид по времето на Епирското деспотство
Authors: Цийман Даниел
Published: October 2024

Тази статия има за цел да покаже как охридските архиепископи, на първо място Димитриос Хоматенос, се опитват да развият собствената си позиция за сметка на константинополските патриарси. Политиката на Димитриос е насочена към утвърждаването на Охрид като един от най-важните църковни центрове на Православната църква в Европа. Тези амбиции са свързани с политическата съдба на Епирското деспотство; неговото падане погребва амбициите на Димитрий. Но въпреки радикалните политически промени по това време Охрид запазва голямото си значение за Православната църква в Югоизточна Европа и през следващите векове.
Предговор

От 10 до 12 май 2019 г. в София се проведе международна научна конференция на тема: „1000 години от учредяването на Българската автокефална архиепископия в Охрид“. Тя бе организирана съвместно от Историческия факултет на Софийския университет „Св. Климент Охридски“ и Македонския научен институт. С доклади и научни съобщения в нея взеха участие историци, филолози, богослови, музиковеди и изкуствоведи от България, Германия, Гърция, Полша, Северна Македония и Сърбия. В духа на научната толерантност бяха изказани различни мнения, имаше дискусии и коментари. По различни причини издаването на материалите от този научен форум се забави. Настоящият 105. том на Годишник на Софийския университет - Исторически факултет съдържа част от докладите на конференцията, които авторите любезно предоставиха за печат. Надяваме се да зарадваме научната общественост у нас и в чужбина с настоящата публикация.
Нотирани паметници от Югозападните български земи до XV век
Authors: Куюмджиева Светлана
Published: October 2024

The notated manuscripts from the South-Western Bulgarian lands up to the fifteenth century are discussed. The sources are an evidence for the adoption of the musical systems that were in use at that time in the Balkan Orthodox countries – ekphonetic, palaeo-, middle- and late-byzantine. The systems were adopted on a high professional level. Numerous Triodia manuscripts testify to the work started in the Ohrid school at the time of St. Clement of Ohrid on the preparation of the repertory in Old Bulgarian language that was necessary for the worship in the newly founded Bulgarian Church: for Great Lent, Easter and post-Easter time, as it was pointed out in the Vita of St. Clement. The adoption of the musical systems on a high professional level suggests the maintenance of the church music by a strong liturgical and educational center, such as the Bulgarian Archbishopric in Ohrid.
Писмата на българския архиепископ в Охрид Паисий до Италийския митрополит Тимотей
Authors: Каравълчев Венцислав
Published: October 2024

През XVI в. към диоцеза на Българската архиепископия в Охрид са присъединени земите на Южна Италия, а именно: Апулия, Абруцо, Базиликата, Калабрия, остров Сицилия, както и остров Малта, Далмация и всички западни страни. В българския манастир „Свети Георги“ - Зографския манастир на Атон се съхраняват четири писма - грамоти, написани от българския архиепископ Паисий до италианския митрополит Тимотей, който бил назначен от него да управлява тези земи. От тези писма се вижда, че в епархията на митрополит Тимотей възникват известни брожения и недоволства, предизвикани от „гърци и албанци“. Въз основа на съдържанието на тези документи и на факта, че тези земи са предадени под духовното управление на българския архиепископ, се търси отговор на въпроса: каква е причината тези земи да бъдат предадени под духовното управление на българския архиепископ и каква е причината за недоволството на гърци и албанци? Въз основа на редица изворови документи и данни, както и на базата на съвременни изследвания, които изучават езиците, говорени от местното население, авторът на статията показва сериозното присъствие на българско и славянско население в региона, което многократно надвишава броя на гръцкото и албанското. Това най-вероятно е водещата причина тези земи да бъдат предадени под духовната опека на Българската архиепископия в Охрид.
A Scoping Review on the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Treating Rare Diseases
Authors: Rahman ASM Zahidur
Published: October 2024

Rare diseases affect a small percentage of the population but often present significant challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and management due to their complex and heterogeneous nature. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have shown promising potential to address these challenges by improving early diagnosis, personalized treatment strategies, and drug discovery. This scoping review explores the current landscape of AI applications in rare disease treatment. We examine the role of AI-driven tools in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, optimizing treatment pathways, and facilitating drug repurposing for rare conditions. Additionally, we highlight the limitations and ethical concerns associated with AI implementation, such as data privacy, the need for high-quality datasets, and algorithmic transparency. The findings suggest that while AI holds transformative potential, its integration into clinical practice for rare diseases requires multidisciplinary collaboration, ongoing research, and regulatory oversight.
