Background: Rapeseed-mustard is one of the most important oilseed crops in India, however, its genetic diversity is barely known. A better understanding on this topic is essential for the proper utilization of genotypes in crop improvement.
Methods: Present study was carried out to determine the genetic diversity among 95 diverse genotypes of Brassica juncea (L.) in paired rows of 4 m length with a spacing of 30 x 10-15 cm (row × plant). Data were recorded on 11 different agro-morphological characters.
Result: All the 95 genotypes were grouped into five distinct clusters based on Manhattan dissimilarity coefficients. Amongst the five clusters, cluster V and IV had the maximum number of genotypes (35 and 23 genotypes respectively) and cluster II with least number of genotypes (three). The Manhattan dissimilarity coefficients ranged from 0.741 to 8.299. Based on the genetic dissimilarity matrix, the maximum dissimilarity (8.299) was observed between the genotypes, DRMRIJ-15-133 and M 62. Cluster III recorded for medium plant height with medium early maturity and cluster I, had maximum mean values for most of the agro-morphological traits. The present work indicated the presence of high genetic diversity among genotypes, which can be used in future breeding programmes for developing mustard cultivars and germplasm management purposes.
Analysis of Drought Susceptibility Index in Indian Mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss]
Authors: . Akanksha , Srivastava K. , Srivastava Ayushi , Sinha B.
Published: November 2020

Background: Climatic variations such as drought have high level of impingement on the yield of rain-fed crops like mustard. A drought is an extended period of months or years when region notes a deficiency in its water availability. Water stress causes heavy yield losses in Indian mustard (17-94%). Low water availability during stem elongation, flowering and pod development causes reduction of pods per plant leading to reduction in grain yield. Very meagre efforts have been made towards improving drought tolerance of this crop. Hence there is an urgent need for, development of water use efficient genotypes. Drought Susceptibility Index (DSI) is a measure of drought, based on loss of yield under drought conditions in comparison to the yield under normal conditions. It expresses the separate effects of yield potential and drought susceptibility on yields under drought. In these terms, lower DSI is considered synonymous with higher drought tolerance. In view of above facts, present study is aimed at investigating the effects of drought on yield attributing traits with, the objective of identifying Indian mustard genotypes and their hybrids which can withstand water stress with minimum loss in yield.
Methods: Nine Indian mustard genotypes and their F1s were evaluated under irrigated and rainfed conditions to study the effect of drought by calculating DSI, on yield and yield traits and to characterize their relative tolerance against drought at the Agriculture Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi during Rabi 2017-18 season. Observations were made for different yield and yield related traits.
Result: Genotype RB-50 was found as tolerant for seed yield per plant with DSI 0.38 while hybrids RB-50×RH-749 and RB-50×Giriraj were exhibiting tolerant DSI values for siliqua per plant, 1000 seed weight, seed yield per plant and oil content. These parents and F1s would serve as useful donors and hybrids respectively, in mustard breeding programmes for improving drought tolerance.

Authors: Susmitha D. , Jayamani P.
Published: November 2020

Background: Greengram is the fourth dominant pulse crop grown in India and is highly susceptible to bruchids and yellow mosaic virus. Ricebean belonging to the tertiary genepool of greengram shows resistance to this pest and disease. Ricebean being a minor pulse crop has limited SSR markers. Hence, the present study was conducted to test the cross-species amplification of SSR markers derived from related species which could be helpful in studying the molecular diversity available in each crop and for molecular confirmation of the inter- and intra-specific hybrid developed from the crosses.Methods: Molecular diversity analysis was carried out using 30 genotypes belonging to two species of Vigna (V. radiata and V. umbellata) based on 20 SSR primers derived from adzukibean, commonbean and greengram. Result: Cross species amplification was observed for all the SSR primers pairs used. The number of alleles detected varied from one (VJ 31122A) to four (CEDAAG 001 and MB 91) with an average of 2.55 alleles per primer. Allele size varied from 100 to 292 bp. The PIC value ranged from zero to 0.611 with an average value of 0.377. Dendrograms constructed based on UPGMA and Neighbour-Joining tree method, grouped the genotypes into five clusters and five groups, respectively. The V. umbellata genotypes were grouped in separate cluster from the V. radiata genotypes in both the methods. The obtained DNA polymorphism at intra- and inter-specific level will facilitate the application of molecular breeding approaches for greengram improvement.

Background: Pigeon pea is considered an excellent and affordable source of plant-based protein, essential amino and fatty acids, fibers, minerals and vitamins with consistent source of income and employment to small and marginal farmers and thus holds premier position in the world agriculture. Shifts in rainfall patterns and seasons due to climatic change require the development of varieties with stable and high yield over a wide range of environmental conditions became major objective of crop improvement.
Methods: The present study was carried out to ascertain the stable genotypes, environments discrimination and genotype by environment crossovers using different stable models by conducting Multi-location pigeon pea trial in five environments during Kharif, 2018 in Randomized Complete Block Design. Stability analysis for grain yield was performed by deploying the AMMI (Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction) model and GGE (Genotype and Genotype by Environment) biplot method. The pigeon pea genotype WRG-330 was found superior among all the genotypes over checks over locations, while, WRG-327 exhibited almost minimum interaction with the environments convincing the reliability of the performance. The test environments at Adilabad and Tandur were observed representative with better discriminating ability.
Conclusion: It is concluded that there is no large difference between the AMMI and GGE biplot analyses in evaluation of experimental pigeon pea genotypes in different locations and both methods revealed similar results convincing that both methods can be used equally.

Published: November 2020

Background: Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.], an important grain legume crop that is predominantly cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world (Nene and Sheila, 1990). Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable source of novel alleles for economic traits which when transferred to cultivated species adapt well to changing biotic stresses, farming practices, market demands and climatic conditions. Under proposed study the detailed symptomatology, cultural, morphological and pathogenic characteristics of the causal agent and molecular identification of the pathogen were identified.
Methods: Of the total 79 accession of wild relatives of pigeonpea (Cjanus cajan) planted in the experimental fields of ICAR- Indian Institute of Pulses Research (IIPR), Kanpur during 2017-18, one accession (ICP-817) of Rhynchosia bracteata was found to be affected by a disease characterized by leaf and stem blight symptoms. Disease symptoms appeared in January–February, 2017 and 2018. Presence of water soaked lesions on the leaves and stem which later turned chalky in appearance, cottony white mycelium on the affected plant parts along with black coloured irregularly circular sclerotia resembled those of white mold fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib) de Bary were observed.
Result: Pathogenicity of the fungus was proved using detached leaf/twig inoculation techniques. Morphological characters and the sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the fungus confirmed the causal agent of the disease to be Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib) de Bary. This is the first report of the Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on Rhynchosia bracteata not only in India but also in the world.

Published: November 2020

Background: Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilzeck) is one of the most important pulse crops and grown in almost all parts of the India. Web blight/wet root rot disease of mungbean is caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kühn. Crop environmental factors plays a vital role in the development of web blight disease caused by R. solani. An understanding of the role of environmental factors on the infection and survival of the pathogen is necessary to develop disease management practices.
Methods: The effect of different temperatures (4oC, 20oC, 25oC, 30oC and 35oC) on mycelial growth of seven different R. solani isolates belonging to different anastomosis group were evaluated under in vitro conditions. Effect of different temperatures on the development of root rot/web blight disease of mungbean was also evaluated under phytotron conditions at various temperatures with constant relative humidity (85%) and illumination (alternate dark and light period of 12 h). Effect of temperatures on the expression of selected pathogenicity related genes was evaluated through real time PCR.
Result: Maximum radial growth in R. solani isolates was observed at 25 and 30oC after 48 hrs of incubation. Maximum disease incidence was observed with R. solani isolate RUPU-18 (73.11%) followed by R-17 (68.75%), RDLM-1 (63.45%) at 25oC on mungbean genotype Pusa Vishal. Expression of genes like ABC transporter was observed only at 35oC, while other genes like 1, 3 glucan hydrolase expressed maximum at 25oC after 24, 48 and 72 hrs post inoculation. Present study suggested that the expression of pathogenicity related genes in mungbean-R. solani system is dependent on the temperature and time interval post pathogen inoculation.

Published: November 2020

Background: Agriculture and its allied sectors is an important sector in employment, income and food security. The increasing demands for food grains and cash crops, the area under fodder crops has been static since last 3-4 decades (8.4 mha) resulted into a net deficit in dry and green fodder is around 10 and 35%, respectively making livestock rearing more challenging. Conventional agriculture has largelybeen characterized by conventional tillage which caused soil degradation and negative impacts on soil physical and biological activity. To mitigate these negative effects, resource conservation technologies (RCTs) was tested and adopted to save substantial quantity of irrigation water, reducing the cost of cultivation, timely sowing, improve input use efficiency and left indirect effect on mitigating the adverse effect of climate changes. Biological N2 fixation (BNF) can make plants self-sustaining for N nutrition and avoiding the need for mineral N fertilization. The current study aimed enhancing fodder production by adoption of modern tillage practices and efficient N management.
Methods: In this field-laboratory investigation during 2017-18, experiment was laid out in the split plot design consisting of three tillage practices zero tillage (ZT), conventional tillage (CT) and raised bed (RB) and six N management viz., N0, N75, N75+Rhizo, N100, N100+Rhizo and N125%. The soil of the experimental field was clay loam in texture having pH 7.30, EC; 0.35 dS/m, medium in organic carbon (0.63%), low in nitrogen (188.48 kg/ha), medium in phosphorus (23.56 kg/ha) and potassium (271.12 kg/ha). The recommended dose of fertilizer and other cultural practices was applied as per treatments with standard process. The crop was harvested at 60 days after sowing and weighed for green fodder yield. The observations growth, yields and quality parameters was recorded as per the standard method. Statistical analysis was done using analysis of variance in split plot design.
Result: ZT practices significantly improved growth attributes, fodder yield and available nitrogen. Higher fodder yield of cowpea was recorded with ZT as compared to CT and it was statistically similar in RB. The nitrogen management practices had significant effect on root length and root nodules, plant growth attributes, fodder yield and available N, P and K. The significant fodder yield was increase with successive increase of N application up to 75% N + rhizobium, over 0 and 75% N alone. The present work shows that adoption of ZT and inoculation of rhizobia had significantly improved soil health and stabilized fodder yield of cowpea besides decrease fertilizer nitrogen requirement in the irrigated agro-ecosystem of T-IGP.

Authors: AVCİL Ceren
Published: November 2020

Milliyetçilik ideolojisinin toplumsal cinsiyet ile olan ilişkisi uzun yıllar boyunca üzerinde durulmayan bir konu olmuştur. Son dönemlerde özellikle milliyetçi proje ve uygulamaların kadın ve erkeği farklı şekilde ele almaları, toplumsal cinsiyet alanındaki çalışmaların milliyetçilik ideolojisiyle birlikte ele alınmasını gündeme getirmiştir. Kadının söz konusu proje ve uygulamalarda yok sayılması kadın çalışmaları alanında yeni bir tartışma konusuna yol açmıştır. Özellikle milli kimlik inşa süreçlerinde kadının araçsallaştırılmasına yönelik politikalar milliyetçiliğin somut olarak ortaya konulduğu örnekler olarak değerlendirilmektedir.
Kadının özel alan ve kamusal alandaki konumu milliyetçi politikalarda değişim ve dönüşüme uğramaktadır. Özellikle milli mücadele, savaş dönemlerinde kadın bedeni vatan, namus, toprak parçası olarak kutsallaştırılırken bir yandan da annelik rolü ile aile içinde özel alanda konumlandırılmaktadır.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, toplumsal cinsiyet ve milliyetçilik arasındaki ilişkiyi feminist literatür çerçevesinde tartışmak ve toplumsal cinsiyet kavramının milliyetçilik söylemlerinde ve milli kimlik inşa sürecindeki kullanım şekli ile kadınlık konumlarının ne şekilde değiştiğine dair tartışmaları ele almaktır.

Published: November 2020

Radiofrequency catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) that traditionally requires fluoroscopic imaging to guide catheter movement and positioning. However, advances in electroanatomic mapping (EAM) technology and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) have reduced procedural reliance on fluoroscopy. We conducted a prospective registry study of 162 patients enrolled at five centers proficient in high-volume, minimal-fluoroscopy CA between March 2016 and March 2018 for the CA of symptomatic, drug-refractory paroxysmal, or persistent AF that sought to assess the safety and efficacy of minimal- versus zero-fluoroscopy AF CA. We evaluated procedural details, acute procedural outcomes and complications, and one-year follow-up data. All operators used an EAM system (CARTO®; Biosense Webster, Irvine, CA, USA) and ICE. Ultimately, two patients did not pursue CA postenrollment. A total of 104 (66%) patients had paroxysmal AF with a mean ejection fraction of 58% ± 9%. Twenty-six (16.3%) patients were scheduled for repeat ablation. A total of 100 (63%) procedures were performed with zero fluoroscopy. The mean fluoroscopy time in the minimal-fluoroscopy group was 1.7 minutes ± 2.8 minutes. Further, the mean procedure duration was 192 minutes ± 37 minutes in the zero-fluoroscopy group and 201 minutes ± 29 minutes in the minimal-fluoroscopy group (p = 0.96). Pulmonary vein isolation was achieved in 153 patients (100%), with an acute procedural complication rate of 1.8%. One-year follow-up data were available for 152 (95%) patients with a mean follow-up time of 11.3 months ± 1.8 months. A total of 118 (76%) patients remained free from arrhythmia for up to 12 months, with no difference between the minimal- and zero-fluoroscopy cohorts (p = 0.18).

The article describes the role of high-quality human capital in the modern economy, socioeconomic, and demographic trends in the regions. The research has revealed a certain relationship and mutual influence of economic and social factors on demographic trends. The assessment of the efficiency of the functioning of social sectors at the all-Russian Federal level and in the Ural Federal District revealed a low level of resource provision, insufficient investment in education and healthcare, which affects the state of fixed assets, leads to a low capital-labour ratio, and lags in terms of labour productivity in these sectors compared to indicators on average for the country's economy. An insufficient level of efficiency of the social sphere affects the social and demographic indicators. On the example of Russia and the Ural Federal District, a stable mutual influence of the economic situation and social aspects of population reproduction is shown. For a quantitative assessment of the relationship between economic, social and demographic processes in the Ural Federal District, indicators were selected for 6 subjects of the Ural Federal District for 2000-2018, the calculation was made using the methods of correlation and regression analysis, the coefficient of natural population growth was chosen as the main indicator characterizing the demographic trends. The model of the impact of socioeconomic indicators on demographic trends in the subjects of the Ural Federal Districts were built. With the unconditional impact of the incidence rate on the change in natural population growth, significant values were obtained for the following factors: an increase in the expenditures of the budgets of territorial compulsory health insurance funds, an increase in the share of the working-age population, an improvement in the welfare of the population, which contributes to an increase in average life expectancy, a reduction in mortality, and acceleration of demographic processes in the regions
Migration Links Between Russia's Regions for 50 years: Methodology of the Study
Authors: Rybakovsky Oleg
Published: November 2020

The article contains the development and justification of the methodology of comparative historical analysis of migration ties between the regions of Russia for 50 years, from the late 1960s - until the end of 2010s. Such analysis has never been conducted before. As a result, the method of its conduct can be useful for any other comparative studies of migration ties, both in Russia and in other territories. Much has changed in the inter-regional analysis of Russian migration since the late 1960s. A different method and procedure for accounting and assessing the population, as well as its resettlement (permanent migration). The administrative division of the Russian Federation (RSFSR) has changed. Demographics, including migration information, have become more accessible and diverse, although its quality and comparability in time have fallen. In 2007-2008, a complete methodology for statistical analysis of interregional migrations was developed, indicators and analysis methods were organized, expanded and improved. Nevertheless, the historical analysis of migration ties between the regions of Russia faces a number of difficulties. First of all, it is the paucity of information left over from that time. There is only one type of indicator of the closeness of migration ties. These are the intensity of interregional migration by arrival (KIMS arrivals), as well as population estimates of Russian regions for individual years of that period. Another difficulty is the imbalance of arrival and departure numbers between regions identified during the study. The amount of departures to the territory under review from other regions does not equal to the amount of arrivals to the territory under consideration from other regions. The main results of the article are the solution of the above problems, allowing to compare in time migration ties correctly and as fully as possible. As an example, part of the analysis of migration ties of one of the territories of the Far East of Russia is given
Realization of the UBI Principles As An Answer to the COVID–19 Challenges
Authors: Zolotov Aleksandr , Zolotov Sergey
Published: November 2020

The article identifies the need to take measures to maintain stability on the labor market and develop social assistance to the population in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. It has been established, that under these conditions, a more consistent implementation of the principles of universality and unconditional provision of social transfers is required in accordance with the concept of unconditional basic income (UBI). It is revealed that these principles are most consistently implemented in Spain, where unconditional basic income has been introduced. A practice close to the use of UBI is typical for the United States and Singapore. In the number of European countries, transfers are used to employees of enterprises in crisis situations, which means the circle recipients of social assistance increase. An increase in the scale of social assistance in China with the use of vouchers for the purchase of goods was recorded, which contradicts the principles of the UBI. Progress was noted in the application of the principles of universality and unconditional social support in modern Russia. Taking into consideration, new experience, the controversial issues of unconditional basic income concept are analyzed: its potential efficiency, dependence on the level of taxes, the impact on inflation, the need for empirical verification of UBI principles. To sum ap, the progress in the implementation of these principles inherent in the UBI in modern conditions brings the prospect of its implementation closer
Interlinguistic function of neologisms
Authors: Ye Lin
Published: November 2020

The work attempts to consider a separate interlinguistic function in the language function system, which is focused on language contacts, resulting in interference of language systems. The lexical borrowing material in Russian language examines the types of language changes that are manifested in language interaction. It is found that the impact of one language system on another is largely manifested in one-directional language changes. The interlinguistic function of neologisms manifests itself in the form of convergence, reflecting the convergence of two or more linguistic facts. A number of borrowings from the English language with a combination of sounds [ДЖ], Japanese sounds (Ж and С) are considered to adapt foreign-language words to the articula-tion system of the Russian language. It is substantiated that modern language changes are due to the brought-up cultural determinism of borrowing, which makes it possible to consider language an element in the culture system, and the important factor is the understanding that language is not only a system of systems, but also a system of signs. The results of scientific and technological advances are contributed to the openness of the language function system and new functions.
Research in the field of political linguistics (based on the materials of the journal “Political linguistics” for 2006–2017)
Authors: Yue Xue
Published: November 2020

Political linguistics in Russia is characterized by a large number of directions and topics varieties, especially political metaphor and discourse-analysis, which serves as the main method of linguocognitive interpretation of the text as a whole and the word separately. We analyze the scientific results presented on the pages of the journal “Political Linguistics” for 2006–2017 (edi-tor-in-chief A.P. Chudinov). During this period, 46 published issues, distributed in 33 countries, highlight the main directions (theory of political linguistics, fundamental linguistics, rhetoric, so-ciolinguistics, cultural linguistics, cognitive linguistics, semiotics, semantics, pragmatics, corpus linguistics and intercultural communication) that stimulate research in the field of political com-munication and the language of politics. We establish that more than 90% of all directions are in-tercultural communication, which focuses on the study of communication strategies and language manipulation. We justify that the context of the 12-year development of Russian political linguis-tics reflects the expansion of political discourse and contributes to the activation of the critical dis-course analysis as a direction. We substantiate that in Russian political linguistics, there are direc-tions that are just emerging: polylinguistic forecasting, polylinguistic personality, political self-presentation, comparative studies of political texts.
The opposition “home – world” in the drama of M.A. Bulgakov of the 1920s (“The Days of the Turbins”, “Zoyka’s apartment”, “Flight”)
Authors: Liang Weiqi
Published: November 2020

We consider the reflection forms and opposition functions of the “house – world” in the poetics of M.A. Bulgakov’s plays of the 1920s: “The Days of the Turbins”, “Zoyka’s apartment” and “Flight”. We conclude that this opposition organizes their spatial composition. In “The Days of the Turbins”, an acute confrontation between home and world is brought out, and the victory is for the former on the plot and ideological level, which is emphasized by the cyclic spatial compo-sition. In “Zoyka's apartment”, the external world is mostly only implied, but its expansion is so active that its space at home begins to double, distort and in the denouement is lost by the charac-ters on the plot level, while maintaining its value significance. This significance is preserved in the “Flight”, where the stage space is the outside world, and the home is only implied as a memory and a dream accompanying the actors. In Bulgakov’s mind, the home confronts the world as a women’s space to a men’s. The character of the relationship between the hero and the heroine, the strength of the personality of both sexes lead to the dominance of one of the types of space in each play.
Representations of Russia and the Russian national character in the modern advertising discourse: linguistic and cognitive analysis
Authors: Terskikh Marina V.
Published: November 2020

We refer to the concept of the country’s image, which arose in the practice of politicians, government executives, and marketing specialists and has been actively developed in recent dec-ades in the works of representatives of various branches of scientific knowledge: linguists, political scientists, sociologists, philosophers, etc. Media discourse becomes a communication space within which messages are created, on the one hand, reflecting the stereotypical attitudes of the internal and external audience regarding Russia and the Russian people, on the other, correcting negative and reinforcing positive ethnic stereotypes. In this work, the media image of Russia is modeled on the basis of texts of commercial, social and political advertising, speeches of political figures, in particular, in the framework of the election campaign. As a basic methodology, we use the frame modeling method, reconstructs the “Russia” frame in Russian and foreign advertising discourse. Russian commercial advertising forms a positive image of a great, beautiful country with a strong and spiritually rich people, and the concept of “Russian” is used in texts exclusively with positive connotations. Russian social advertising creates the image of a country with a rich history and a great past, however it represents modern Russia as a country in which spiritual values play an increasingly smaller role. The external image of Russia can be generally assessed as negative. The sphere in which the least attractive image is realized is politics. The political theme is updated in all considered types of media discourse and forms the image of a backward, undemocratic state with high corruption and Soviet heritage.

Published: November 2020

A very tangible proof of the large impact of social media as the development of communication technology is the buzzer, which is able to influence the subjective reality of users, one of the biggest social media, Facebook. The development of social media interactivity itself also affects how buzzers are created, that is, unconsciously (subconsciously) through social media metaphors. So that the subjective reality of the audience as an output that is influenced by the buzzer becomes stronger. Sampling from the population is done by convenience sampling and data analysis techniques using multilinear regression analysis. Data shows that Facebook's interactivity and social media metaphors influence a 38.9% of the subjective reality of Facebook users on the COVID-19 pandemic issue in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the dimensions of the near and far subjective reality which is a measurement of the construction of subjective reality also become stronger and in line with the interactivity and social metaphors received and done by Facebook social media users.
