Authors: Kazmi Syyed Ali Raza , Ali Maujood
Published: March 2024

Purpose: This study compares developed and developing market stocks during the Russia-Ukraine crisis, a time of high geopolitical tensions. Economic downturns are complicated by geopolitical, financial, and natural disasters. A relevant case study to analyze equities market divergence under geopolitical uncertainty.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This research quantifies stock market indexes, daily returns, and volatility indicators using historical financial data. Performance indicators, volatility patterns, and risk-return characteristics are compared across established and developing market stocks. The analysis seeks to determine if geopolitical tensions during the war increased market volatility and to understand market segment reactions. The analysis uses cumulative returns, average returns, standard deviations, volatility indexes, and the Sharpe ratio.

Findings: It is found that clear geopolitical tensions during the crisis affected market volatility differently in established and new economies. This is because industrialized economies are financially stronger than developing ones. The Sharpe ratio allowed detailed market sector comparisons of risk-adjusted returns. This comparison showed investors' possible trade-offs between rewards and dangers.

Implications/Originality/Value: These findings affect investors seeking educated strategies, politicians creating effective actions, and market participants managing risks. This research improves decision-making and risk management amid economic volatility by evaluating geopolitical events and stock market behaviors.

Interplay of plant pathogens and host defenses: Unveiling the mechanisms and strategies for crop protection
Authors: Poudel Amrit , KC Shreejana
Published: March 2024

Plant pathogens, encompassing a diverse array of microbes including fungi, nematodes, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses, represent a significant threat to agricultural stability by compromising plant health. These microorganisms engage in a complex battle against plant immune systems, leading to diseases that can drastically diminish crop yields, degrade product quality, and in extreme cases, cause total crop failure. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying plant infection, the specific pathogens involved, and the strategy for effective prevention is crucial for agricultural sustainability. This review paper provides a detailed examination of the multifaceted interactions between plant pathogens and their hosts, focusing on the entry mechanisms, symptom development, and prevention strategies against plant diseases. Major findings reveal the intricate ways pathogens interact with plant immune responses, the critical role of environmental factors in disease outbreaks, and the effectiveness of integrated disease management approaches. The paper concludes with a novel perspective, emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable, science-based strategies to enhance plant resistance, safeguard food security, and mitigate the economic consequences of plant pathogenic diseases. This synthesis not only advances our understanding of plant pathology but also sets a framework for future research directions in plant disease management.

Published: March 2024

Biochar is rich in carbon and obtained by carbonization of biomass heated at 300-1000°C under limited oxygen which improves the soil properties and yield of various crops. This study aimed to determine the changes in soil properties and agronomical characteristics of okra by biochar prepared from different feedstock. The research was conducted in randomized blocks and replicated thrice, with treatments; control, wood ash (WA), rice husk biochar (RHB), bamboo biochar (BB), Ashoka leaves biochar (ALB), coconut husk biochar (CHB), and sawdust biochar (SB), applied at 18 t/ha. Biochar-incorporated soil and the biochar were analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, nitrogen, P2O5, K2O, and organic matter, and the soil for bulk density, particle density, and porosity. Agronomical parameters like plant height, fruit size, and yield were also recorded. The biochar incorporation modified the soil's chemical properties and significantly decreased bulk and particle density. The highest reduction of 10.9% in bulk density (1.22gm/cm3), and 4.4% in particle density (2.39gm/cm3) were observed in ALB and SB incorporated soil respectively. ALB (50%) followed by BB (49%) showed a significant increase in soil porosity compared to the control (45.18%). BB (15.7cm) significantly increased the fruit size compared to the control (14.06cm) followed by ALB (15.5cm). ALB (8.16t/ha) significantly increased the yield of okra relative to control (7.82t/ha). The findings suggest the use of ALB and BB to improve soil properties and yield in the long run.

Stratagemic and tactical variation in conflictogenic network discourse: glocalization of value space
Authors: Avdeev E.A. , Bredikhin S.N. , Vorobiev S.M.
Published: March 2024

This article offers an examination of the use of conflictogenic communication tactics as well as the situational determination of their implementation in comments posted in social networks in the Republic of Dagestan (Russia) and in the Stavropol Region (Russia). The authors employ contextual and semantic analysis to identify conflictogens as units of hostility language and pejoratives; discourse and modus analysis is used to identify the most common and effective communication tactics. Speech techniques are identified that implement a strategy of negative positioning of socio-cultural identity foundations, and provoking ethnic and confessional conflicts. The main conditions for the development and spread of a conflictogenic network discourse include depersonalization, prompt presentation and circulation of information, openness to information supply, as well as a high degree of speech expression. The conflictogenic topics in both regions under consideration demonstrate the maximum ethno-confessional determination. In both regions, there is an obvious prevalence of communication tactics of separation and negative presentation. Negative points of view were expressed through pejoratives, ethnopholisms and obscene vocabulary. The tactics of appeal and conflict mobilization were employed on a less frequent basis, whereas the mechanism behind their implementation mostly involved hints. The modification of value settings in some cases leads to a radical change in the positivization and negativization poles of nuclear global axiologems through the process of discursive territorial and topical determination of content. The analysis of the empirical material helped detect statements containing invitations – both implicit and explicit: appeals, slogans, commitative constructions, etc. The social networks in the modern media space are getting effective in conflict mobilization, offering more and more ways to use conflictogenic communication tactics, to produce and circulate destructive contents.

Fermented drinks production is a promising sector of the food industry. Therefore, the new technological solutions development aimed at product quality improvement and production optimization is always relevant. To optimize the fermentation stage and production in general, a man has to identify new resources – new yeast strains. The research aimed at studying the possibility of dry baking yeast “Saf-instant”, “Saf-levur”, “Nevada” and “Angel” use in the fermented grain drinks technology. The developed technology feature was wheat and oat malt use along with traditional barley and rye fermented malt. The authors introduced two formulations of drinks for production with the following composition: the first sample consists of barley malt 45 %, wheat malt 25 %, rye fermented malt 30 %; the second one – barley malt 45 %, oat malt 25 %, rye fermented malt 30 %. The authors optimized the grain wort preparation mode for each formulation with grinding stage adjustment according to temperature and pauses duration. Experimentally, a man established the recommended yeast administration rate at the fermentation stage – 20 million cells/cm3 of wort, optimal temperature (28–30 °C) and stage duration (17–18 hours). As a result, the yeast “Nevada” and “Angel” had the greatest fermentation activity. During fermentation, in drinks, in addition to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide, there were higher alcohols (isobutyl, propyl, isoamyl), esters (methyl acetate, isoamyl acetate), and organic acids (succinic, malic, citric, lactic, oxalic, formic, acetic). The organic acids presence enables to improve the beverages quality by its nutritional value increase. The resulting fermented grain drinks meet the standardized requirements for similar beverages fully in terms of quality. The developed technology using new yeast strains can be recommended for introduction into production.

Published: March 2024

Photovoltaic (PV) cells are being adopted as a viable and cost-effective option for implementing receivers within Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems, primarily in indoor environments. Accurately estimating the generated current and voltage of the PV cell based on incident light is crucial when designing VLC systems.For this assessment, the 1D2R electrical equivalent model, which incorporates a diode and two resistors, is employed.In AC small signal analysis, the diode is substituted by its dynamic counterpart, which comprises a dynamic resistance in parallel with an equivalent capacitance. This study introduces an approach to measure and characterize the small-signal parameters of a PV cell operating at the maximum power point (MPP), open circuit (OC), and short circuit (SC) bias points. This is achieved through a closed-loop frequency response system, calibrated to encompass illuminance levels ranging from 50 to 500 lux.The procedure for estimating the AC response of the PV cell is outlined, and the outcomes are subsequently employed in an analytical parameter extraction methodology. Experimental results from a 20 x 40 mm PV cell reveal that MPP represents the least favorable bias point in terms of bandwidth, whereas the SC bias point exhibits the most favorable performance. This observation validates the hypothesis that the optimal bias point for energy harvesting in PV cells is the worst bias point for communication purposes.

Authors: Singh Tejender , Tripathi Suman Lata , Kumar Vikram
Published: March 2024

In this study, a high-performance 16-bit, 500 MS/s successive approximation register analog-to-digital con-verter (SAR-ADC) with variable body biasing (VBB) for re-ducing sub-threshold leakage is designed and optimized. The suggested ADC architecture makes use of a voltage threshold complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (VTCMOS) cir-cuit with Widlar current mirror technology to efficiently con-sume 39.2 μW at an operating voltage of 1.0 V. Notably, the optimized ADC achieves outstanding performance measures, such as a signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) of 97 dB and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of -97.97 dB, which are crucial markers of the ADC's accuracy and fidelity. An over-view of the growing need for high-resolution ADCs in contem-porary high-speed data conversion systems opens the study. The main goal of this effort is to improve overall ADC per-formance and tackle the problem of sub-threshold leakage. The Widlar current mirror technology and the VTCMOS cir-cuit are integrated for enhanced linearity, decreased current mismatch errors, and minimized leakage current. This inte-gration is highlighted in the full explanation of the ADC de-sign. The advent of the VBB approach as a successful method of leakage reduction is a significant contribution to this re-search. The theoretical foundations and workings of the VBB technique are discussed, and thorough simulations and tests are used to assess how the VBB technique affects leakage cur-rent and circuit performance. The SAR-ADC design and simulations were carried out using Cadence Virtuoso soft-ware.
