Practical Applications of Growth Hormones in Crop Production-A Review
Authors:   Assitant in Millets ,Agricultural Reserch Institute, Coimbatore  641 003, T.R NARAYANAN
Published: November 2023

During the last fifteen years, a large number of chemical compounds capable of inducing, even in very minute amounts a variety of effects on plant growth and development, have been discovered and also synthesised. These are known by the general name of growth-promoting substances, auxins or phytohormones. A hormone is any substance that can act as a "chemical messenger", which, after being produced in any part of the living organism, is transferred to another part and there influences a speci- fic physiological process. This term 'hormone was first used in connec tion with plants by Fitting in 1910, who showed that the shedding of flowers in orchids soon after flowering was brought about by the presence of the pollen grains and could also be effected by water extracts of the pollinia. The terms "Wuchsstoff", growth-regulator, growth-substance, growth-promot- ing substance, growth-hormones, plant-hormones, phytohormones and auxins, all refer to the same group of substances, so far as they relate to the plant kingdom. The literature on this subject has become very, voluminous within the last ten years and is still growing rapidly. Extensive reviews on the effects of these growth hormones, chiefly upon the rooting of plant cuttings, and curvatures in the oat coleoptile have been published by Went and Thimann (1937), Pearse (1939) and Nicol (1941) The present article is intended as a review of progress made on certain other effects of these auxins with special reference to the growth and yield of crop plants.

Cow-pea has been known and cultivated all over India since very remote tinies. We find an indigenous name for it in all the native languages of India (Watt, 1908). Cow-pea cultivation was introduced into China and other Eastern countries from India in very ancient times. Africa is con- sidered to be the original home of this plant, since the wild forms are found only there. Till recently its spread was confined to Africa, India, Burma, China, Malaya Peninsula, Java and other Asiatic countries.. On account of its use as an excellent green manure crop and also as a mixture in hay and fodder its cultivation has now spread to the warm temperate zones and tropical possessions of all the civilized countries of the world. The name cow-pea was first used for this pulse in America. The earliest known English name is 'Cavalance' used first in the West Indies.

There is a general Impression among the ryots that canes, when kept longer in the field after maturity, develop large amounts of pith with resultant loss in tonnage. A study was therefore undertaken to find out when pith begins to form, whether there is any increase in the same with the age of the crop, and whether it is influenced by environ- mental conditions like manuring or irrigation.

The non-availability of chemical insecticides due to the prevailing war conditions has induced Economic Entomologists in India to endeavour to find out suitable and efficient indigenous substitutes. During the investigations carried out at the Agricultural Research Institute, Coim- batore, Cherian and Ramachandran (1941) have reported that the kernels of Thevitia neriifolia Juss are found to possess insecticidal properties of a high order. In the course of these experiments there were indications that vegetable oil emulsions as a class possessed valuable insecticidal proper- ties. A considerable amount of valuable work has been done in other countries in respect of mineral oil emulsions but there is very little on record regarding investigation on the insecticidal properties of vegetable oil emulsions against crop pests. It was thought that such a study would be of material advantage in the field of economic entomology in Indis especially under the existing conditions when oils of mineral origin are ditficult to procure Accordingly studies were undertaken with castor oil, groundnut oil and neem (margosa) oil. This paper gives a short account of the preliminary trials conducted under laboratory conditions. The. information gathered so far, gives encouraging indications as to the possibi- lities of utilising such oil emulsions for the control of insect pests of crops.
Agricultural Developments in the U. S. S. R.
Authors:   Health Education School in London, RUSSEL SIR JOHN
Published: November 2023

Prior to the Revolution three systems of farming were practised in the U. S S. R.: (1) large estates; (2) small peasant farms; (3) peasant land farmed by the peasants under the Mir, the village council or commune of very ancient origin. Some of the large estates were run on good modern lines, some were put into the hands of managers whose business it was to extract all they could for the owner, others were moderately well managed. The peasant farms were smali holdings owned by the individual farmers, which had resulted from the various agrarian reforms, the most important of the later ones being those of Stolypin (1905), who had a Danish adviser and was aiming at the Danish model. The peasant land under the commune (nadiel land) belonged to the body of peasants but not to any individuals, it was parcelled out into many strips which were periodically distributed by the Mir among the peasants in accordance with the size of femily, etc. These strips were scattered over the whole area so that each man should have his share of good and of bad soil. In the time of the Revo- lution it was estimated that about 45 per cent of the cultivated land was in the hands of the pessants

Authors:   Assitant in Millets ,Agricultural Reserch Institute, Coimbatore  641 003, K KUNHIKRISHNAN NAMBIAR
Published: November 2023

Prosopis juliflora, commonly known as mesquite or algaroba, is d tree recently introduced into this country. Its pods have a thick and spongy pericarp containing syrupy matter which is said to be of high nutritive value and is relished by all kinds of stock in America (Kunhi Kannan, 1928). On the karoo in South Africa sheep and goats are fed with the pods. Sometimes the pods are collected and ground to serve ar cattle food. The tree is said to produce timber suitable for furniture and the flowers form a good honey-bee pasturage.
Note on Improvement of the Coconut by Cross-breeding
Authors:   Oilseed Specialist, Department of Agriculture Madras, C.M JOHN , G VENKATANARAYANA ,   Superintendent Agriculture Research Station Kasaragod
Published: November 2023

The coconut (Cocos nucifera Linn.) has been an import- ant oil yielding crop of the Tropics from ancient times and it still figures prominent in the edible oil industry of the world despite competition from other sources of edible oil supply. Though some attention is being besto- wed on the selection of seed material, nothing appreciable seems to have been done elsewhere to produce economic types by cross-breeding different varieties. This is probably due to the fact that it takes normally 8 to 10 years for a coconut tree to come to the flowering stage and many more years should elapse before its bearing capacity can be fully assessed. The added risk of finding the cross progenies unproductive or uneconomic after they have been maintained at considerable expenditure for several years might have also deterred the enthusiasm of the few workers on this crop who might have conceived the idea of cross-breeding in coconuts.
Notes on Erosion

Published: November 2023

Erosion is a world-wide problem. Europe is the continent least affected, though even in parts of Europe, for example the Russian steppes, erosion is n serious problem. In America, Asia and Africa its importance cannot be exagge rated. In regard to Africa, General Smuts has said Erosion is the biggest pro- blem confronting this country; bigger than any politics'. The Darbar consider that in our own State anti-erosion work is more important than even Medical Relief or Education. But, until the public have been further educated in the importance of this work, it would be hopeless to give it the priority to which it is entitled in our Budgets.
Studies on Soybeans in Sind

The Soybean, Glycine max L. is a native of Eastern Asia. The culture and use of the Soybean are recorded in the ancient Chinese literature and undoubtedly date from a period long before the time of written documents. It is the most important legume in China where it is one of the most essential articles of food. There is sufficient evidence to show that soybeanihas also been culti- vated in Northern India and Burma since a long time. Major T. E. T. Aitchison (1881) found the soybean largely cultivated in the Kuram valley, North-west Frontier Province, especially in the Kuram district, occasionally in Hariab and also frequently as a weed in the cultivated fields. Hooper (1911) in his investigations on soybeans has recorded seeds aggregating perhaps into nine distinct varieties, collected from Burma and from places situated on the lower slopes of the Himalayas extending from Kashmir to Darjeeling. Woodhouse and Taylar (1913) describe nine Indian varieties secured from Darjeeling, Bankipur and Bhagalpur. Most of the Indian. varieties have slender twining stems, small pods and small seeds. They resemble the wild soybeans much more closely than do the varieties of China and Japan. The existence of different local names for soybeans in Bengal, Assam, Nepal and the North-west Frontier Provinces is also an evidence of its ancient culture in India.

Published: November 2023

At the outbreak of war the Russian Agricultural Research Stations devoted themselves to the problem of maximum production of food and raw materials in the U. S. S. R. The potato, yielding as it does the highest amount of human food per acre of any crop in common cultivation, naturally figured prominently in the plan. The necessary large increase in potato acreage raised several serious problems in regard to the supply of seed tubers, and the way in which these difficulties are being met is an interesting example of the work of Russian scien- tists during the war.
Fruit Bottling
Authors:   Demonstrator, Ministry of Food England, K. I Miss NOBLE
Published: November 2023

Fruit bottling not so long ago, was regarded as a typical country occupation, but the war has made the town housewife equally "preserve minded" and, judging from the queries and general interest in this subject, even keener than her country sister who wisely bottles and preserves every year as a matter of course. To be successful, it is necessary to make sure that everything is done to avoid mistakes, and so whatever method is chosen should be followed carefully and the following points noted. Objects The object of preserving fruit is to destroy bacteria, moulds, yeasts, and enzymes which would otherwise cause deterioration. Methods The methods of doing this are by (1) sterilizer, (2) oven, (3) pulping, and (4) Campden method. Water or Syrup Fruit can be bottled very successfully in plain water, although if sugar can be spared flavour is improved by using syrup, viz.; 2-8 cz. sugar to each pint of water. Preparation of syrup: dissolve sugar in water and boil for a few minutes, strain. Note-syrup with honey: add two parts of water to one part of honey.

Nas últimas décadas as ciências sociais têm sido questionadas em suas estruturas de saber/poder, na sua ênfase no método e na “neutralidade” como elementos que as constituem e as diferenciam frente às outras formas de conhecimento. De maneira geral, muitos sujeitos até então externos ao que poderia ser visto como campo do saber formal, científico e técnico se levantaram para afirmar que existem dimensões da realidade social — com suas experiências e saberes —, historicamente silenciadas. Isso ocorre não simplesmente por ausência ou deficiência de estudos, mas pela existência de estruturas assimétricas de poder, das quais o pensamento social é parte constitutiva.

A acromegalia é entendida como uma condição causada por uma síndrome caracterizada por o aumento excessivo de um hormônio chamado GH, mais conhecido como hormônio do crescimento, hormônio produzido pela glândula pituitária localizada na base do crânio, uma área chamada sela turcica. É fisicamente visível, geralmente causa crescimento evidente nas estruturas ósseas. Essa síndrome também provoca diversos distúrbios metabólicos e sistêmicos, provocando alterações significativas no indivíduo portador, prejuízos ao qualidade de vida e também leva à diminuição da esperança de vida. Através de imagens e exames laboratoriais podemos fazer o diagnóstico, em um dos Esses testes podem medir o IGF-1 (fator de crescimento semelhante à insulina I), no qual podemos detectar o aumento exacerbado do hormônio do crescimento. Dependendo das características clínicas do paciente, das evidências radiológicas e dos exames laboratoriais endócrinos, eles podem suspeitar algo na região da sela, como uma lesão expansiva da hipófise. A partir daí, pedir muitos exames para definir ou com base no tipo de lesão, orientar que pode decidir o melhor tratamento. Dada a informação devidamente recolhida Através de exames confiáveis ??é possível determinar o melhor tratamento para cada paciente, por meio de radioterapia, farmacoterapia e/ou terapia cirúrgica, que são as mais utilizadas, geralmente transfeinoidal, cirurgia realizada por aspiração nasal através de endoscópio, logo após a realização de exames ambulatoriais de acompanhamento pós-operatório, principalmente hormonal para acompanhar a evolução e diminuição do GH que em muitos casos apresentam excelentes resultados.

The speed of information has never been so high and in the last 20 years, we have seen the digital advancement with the internet evolving at a frightening speed when compared to the evolution of books. The benefits achieved in various areas such as health, safety and especially in education are undeniable, such as what was seen in the COVID-19 pandemic with an important and significant renewal. However, the excessive use of virtual social networks has generated dependence, affected social relationships and impacted the mental health of children and the elderly. In the light of these observations, several authors question the impacts of excessive use of virtual social networks on the mental health of their users. Objective: The objective of this article was to relate the impacts of excessive use of social networks on the mental health of its users. Methodology: The methodology of this article was a qualitative literature review, with a selection of articles, monographs, books, published in a time period from 2011 to 2023. Conclusion: It is concluded in this study that the relationship between excessive uses of virtual social networks results in technological dependence, distancing from social life, increased levels of anxiety, depression and cyber bullying. Affecting the mental health of users, regardless of their age groups, and multidisciplinary psychological support seems to be the only strategy to correct excesses in the use of networks.

Historically, science and spirituality were considered distinct areas, however, following the expansion of the concept of health by the World Health Organization (WHO), as being “the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being” and not simply the “absence of illness”, the phenomenon of spirituality began to be considered as an influencer on people's quality of life. Objectives: contextualize mental illness throughout the history of humanity and differentiate the concept of spirituality from religion. Methodology: The methodology adopted for this work is based on bibliographic research of scientific articles and periodicals. Results and discussions: Why study spirituality and religiosity? According to LUKOFF and collaborators “The religious and spiritual dimensions of culture are among the most important factors that structure human beliefs, values, behaviors and patterns of illness, that is, the experience. More and more research suggests that religiosity and spirituality are important factors for people who suffer or are ill. Final considerations: There is evidence that people with developed spirituality become healthier, and when they get sick, they develop less depression and recover more quickly. For many people, spirituality is a source of comfort, well-being, security, meaning, ideal and strength. Spirituality can be understood as a set of mental processes that bring vitality and meaning to life events. It is the human propensity for interest for others and for yourself. It meets the need to find reason and fulfillment in life, as well as the need for hope and will to live well and happily.

Published: November 2023

Exploring the role of poetry in language education, this study seeks to understand its impact on reading skills from the perspective of EFL students preparing to become English teachers. With the increasing globalization of English, the techniques for teaching and enhancing its comprehension are evolving. Poetry, with its rhythmic and metaphorical nuances, offers a unique avenue to tap into this development. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research engaged ninety-one English Language Education program participants. The findings reveal multifaceted benefits: a significant majority viewed poetry as an avenue for vocabulary enhancement, emphasizing its rich and varied lexicon. Others associated poetry with improvements in literal comprehension, attributing this to the layered meanings often found in poems. The attributes of critical thinking, interpretation of figurative language, grammar refinement, and reading fluency were also highlighted, reflecting poetry's comprehensive influence on reading dimensions. These insights underscore the pedagogical value of poetry in language development, suggesting that integrating authentic poetic materials not only enriches the language repertoire but also amplifies the depth and relevance of the learning experience for students.
How Far Can I Go? Video Project-Based Learning as a Meaning-Making Process to Promote Students’ Speaking Proficiency
Authors: Sulistyo Teguh , Lutviana Rizky
Published: November 2023

Effective learning activities in the classroom that motivate students toward language proficiency should be thoughtfully implemented. One notable method is task-technology fit (TTF), which combines task-based language learning (TBLL) and project-based learning (PjBL). This study explores this intersection through video project-based learning (VPBL). It seeks to understand how VPBL interventions influence students' speaking proficiency, especially in areas of complexity, accuracy, and fluency, while also examining the role of students' self-efficacy and self-reflection. Utilizing a pre-experimental design without a control group, this research was conducted among second-year students of the English Education Program at Universitas PGRI Kanjuruhan Malang in their Speaking course. 37 students participated in a speaking test prompt and answered self-reflection and self-efficacy questionnaires, while 8 students underwent a more detailed interview regarding their VPBL experience. Results showed a general enhancement in speaking proficiency, primarily due to VPBL's unique structure and the student's capacity for self-reflection. Although improvements in fluency and accuracy were noted, there was not significant progress in complexity, indicating that while students utilized VPBL for refining their speaking skills, further efforts are required to advance their linguistic intricacy.

Authors: Putri Ermalati , Inderawati Rita , Vianty Machdalena
Published: November 2023

In the Independent curriculum, it is essential to provide students with diverse learning materials that address global concerns like climate change while also aligning with personal and cultural dimensions, such as the Pancasila Student Profile. This study, conducted at Srijaya Negara High School in Palembang, Indonesia, aimed to understand students' needs for virtual drama scripts that incorporate both climate change and the Pancasila Student Profile themes. Insights were gathered from 36 tenth-grade students, their English teachers, and additional stakeholders through a mixed-methods approach, combining questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The results highlighted a demand from students for more specific and contextually relevant materials. The integration of climate change and Pancasila themes in virtual drama scripts was found to enhance students' motivation in English learning, particularly with the inclusion of technology. Furthermore, these tailored scripts are believed to improve students' knowledge and awareness of both climate change and the values of Pancasila. This research paves the way for the development of virtual drama scripts that not only serve as English reading materials but also support broader educational initiatives in high schools.

Published: November 2023

Objectives: When detecting changes in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, the quality of the difference map has an important impact on the detection results, and the speckle noise in the image interferes with the extraction of change information. In order to improve the detection accuracy of SAR image change detection and improve the quality of the difference map, this paper proposes a method that combines the popular deep neural network with the clustering algorithm.Methods: Firstly, the SAR image with speckle noise was constructed, and the FFDNet architecture was used to retrain the SAR image, and the network parameters with better effect on speckle noise suppression were obtained. Then the log ratio operator is generated by using the reconstructed image output from the network. Finally, K-means and FCM clustering algorithms are used to analyze the difference images, and the binary map of change detection results is generated. Results: The experimental results have high detection accuracy on Bern and Sulzberger's real data, which proves the effectiveness of the method.
Analysis of the Effect of Radiation Defects by Low-energy Protons on Electrophysical Properties of Silicon N+ -P-P+Structure
Authors: M. Bogatov N. , R. Grigoryan L. , S. Kovalenko M. , S. Volodin V.
Published: November 2023

Nowadays, radiation engineering is a promising direction in the creation of semiconductor devices. The proton irradiation is used to controllably change the optical, electrical, recombination, mechanical and structural properties of the semiconductors. Low-energy protons make it possible to purposefully change material properties near the surface where the n+ -p junction is located. In this paper, the impact of low-energy protons on the electro physical parameters of n+ -p-p+ silicon photoelectric converters (SPC) is analyzed. The current-voltage characteristics and switching time of these SPCs are measured. The switching time is determined using rectangular bipolar voltage pulses with an amplitude of 10 mV, a frequency of 200 kHz, or a frequency of 1 MHz. A theoretical and experimental analysis of the obtained results is performed. The comparison of experimental data with the results of calculations shows that protons with an energy of 180 keV and a dose of 1015 cm–2 create two regions in the space charge region of the n+ -p junction with different switching times of 4.2 × 10–7 s and 5.5 × 10–8 s. SPC frequency characteristics have been improved by reducing the effective lifetime by 5-10 times. This effect can be used to create high-speed photodiodes with an operating modulation frequency of 18 MHz.
