Published: November 2023

This century has faced many modern problems i.e. how to fulfil the quality food, how to secure the data, how to increase the food productivity, how to reduce the labor cost, how to improve technological enhancement with less interference etc. Thus we need some technology which can be operated by self or give solution by itself. These may be considered as some kind of Autonomous technology for Sustainable Development Sectors (SDSs). Following this path, a model has been proposed which is based on mathematical approach, theoretical system like controlling some devices, named as Cybernetics. It is used in many different fields like: military, aerospace, robotics, medical, vehicles etc. Cybernetic is able to adapt the human control over the device such that it can consummate good feedback by getting robustness and good performance of the system. There are several modern applications available in the current times but Cybernetics will still carry forward for the next decade. This paper is about the control and necessity of cybernetics that how it gives us the electronic facilities in an efficient way. It is also used for detecting, scanning and analyzing the system as well. The essence of the Cybernetics approach is to understand the functions and processes of systems capable of receiving storing and processing information and then using it for its own control.

Published: November 2023

The study looks into the impact of technological advancement on the employability of business graduates in the Indian labour market. The study had four particular aims, and four null hypotheses were developed as a guide. The study used a descriptive survey design method. A four-rating structured questionnaire titled "Modern Technology and Employability skills" (MTES) was used to collect data from 512 participants in the 2021/2022 business education postgraduates' admittance examination. Data was coded in SPSS and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was calculated to test null hypothesis one. The second null hypothesis was tested using Chi-square, whereas the third and fourth null hypotheses were tested using ANNOVA. At the 0.05 threshold of significance, all four hypotheses were tested. Among other findings, the analysis demonstrates that business education curriculum contents in India do not provide students with generic abilities essential for employability in the Indian labour market in the current sophisticated technology period. Based on their findings, the researcher propose that all of the major abilities in modern technologies required by the Indian labour market be incorporated into the curriculum of business education programmes in Indian institutions

Authors: Gosar Chirag
Published: November 2023

oday's workforce is increasingly diverse in terms of personal characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, national origin, religion, gender identity, and sexual orientation. The “business case for diversity” suggests that such diversity in the workplace will lead to lower costs and/or higher revenues, improving the bottom line. Not surprisingly, employers have considered the economic benefits of adding lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)-supportive policies, including sexual orientation and gender-identity non-discrimination policies and domestic partner benefits policies. The present study identifies and evaluates the impact of LGBT-supportive employment policies and workplace climates on business outcomes in order to answer two primary questions: 1. Whether Company is seriously adopting the non-discriminatory policies for LGBT and/or takingappropriate action towards supporting it 2. Does LGBT-supportive policies will create an environment that is conducive for enhancing productivity ?Simple Random Sampling is used to collect data from people from LGBT community working in several sectors of Corporates within Mumbai region. Out of 100 samples , 75 responses have been collected . Care has been taken to collect data from the entire research universe. We conclude that this research supports the existence of many positive links between LGBT-supportive policies or workplace climates and outcomes that will benefit employers. However, studies does not provide provides direct quantitative estimates of the impact on the bottom line. More specifically, research demonstrates that LGBT-supportive policies and workplace climates are linked to greater job commitment, improved workplace relationships, increased job satisfaction among LGBT employees. Furthermore, LGBT-supportive policies and workplace climates are also linked to less discrimination against LGBT employees and more openness about being LGBT. Less discrimination and more openness, in turn, are also linked to greater job commitment, improved workplace relationships, increased job satisfaction, and increased productivity among LGBT employees.

Affecting all fields of study, economies, and sectors, the fourth Industrial Revolution is bringing in new technologies that integrate the physical, digital, and biological worlds. The way of doing business practises have changed dramatically as a result of technological advancements such as improved communication tools, computing, and the internet. Technology is profoundly changing the workplace in an unprecedented way, just as it has in every other part of life. The phrase "HR tech" (Human Resources technology) refers to a broad category of hardware and software tools used to automate key HR processes like hiring, onboarding, performance evaluation, and payroll processing. HR-Technology is no longer only a buzzword for describing contemporary trends; it is now a useful concept for increasing organisational productivity. HR-Tech has developed into a movement that is redefining the field of human resource management be it high-tech professional conduct, application advancement, and venture creation by fusing the idea of HRM with technology and ergonomic design. HR-Tech is more than just application software to support HR administration and optimise time-honored HRM. By the use of software and computing, HR-Technology is developing a new industry, i.e. the industry of innovation and systematisation. As a result, HR-tech has given birth to several enterprises, and new entrepreneurs are gravitating towards such businesses. The impact of HR-Tech on organisational HRM performance has been extensively documented, although the use of HR-Tech in business is still relatively uncommon. This article makes an effort to summarise the function of HR technology in industry and offer a remedy for human resource management within an organisation

Authors: Pudjiwati Eko Hary
Published: November 2023

Fertilizer application must be done properly to prevent land degradation. Marginal lands with low physical, chemical and biological fertility require specific fertilization technologies. Tana Tidung Regency (KTT) has land that is mostly classified as marginal. The technology for fertilizing specific nutrients for marginal land locations must be understood by agricultural extension workers so that they can be disseminated to farmers. This community service activity is in collaboration with the Sesayap Agricultural Extension Center (BPP) and aims to increase the knowledge and skills of agricultural extension workers in Tana Tidung Regency regarding nutrientfertilization specific to marginal land locations. There are two activities in this community service, namely 1) Counseling on nutrient fertilization specific to marginalland locations; 2) Conduct site-specific fertilization demonstration plots with integrated fertilization for sweet potato plants. The results of this community service activity can increase the knowledge of agricultural extension workers in Tana Tidung Regency about location-specific nutrient fertilization and can practice it through integrated fertilization applications. Integrated organic-inorganic fertilization is proven to provide higher sweet potato production than inorganic fertilizers. Dissemination of site-specific fertilization with integrated fertilization application to farmers in agricultural extension work areas can improve marginal lands and support the realization of sustainable agricultural systems.

Published: November 2023

Since language is as old as man, interest in it is also ancient. Scientists have occupied their thinking for centuries in search of the origin of the human language and what is the oldest language in the world. All languages originate from one source (the mother tongue). And the language used in Paradise, and how did the words follow from the beginning. Many questions have gone through experiences and debates that date back nearly three thousand years, and no one has reached a satisfactory answer to these vexed questions about the origin of language. Successive generations began asking the same questions without running a specific solution. This research will present what is related to language history in the West and the East. We will continue to discuss the emergence of modern linguistics, research methods in contemporary linguistics, and finally, what will be discussed. They concern theoretical and applied linguistics. This research aims to know the history of the modern language, its origins, trends in teaching the Arabic language, and the method used to prepare this proposal to become a scientific work that meets the existing standards and can be calculated. The author uses the library research methodology, which is an attempt to obtain data from the library.

A NEW TEA BAG INDEX METHOD IN THE STUDY OF IONIZING RADIATION EFFECT ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF PLANT RESIDUES BY MICROOGRANISMS
Authors: Volkohon I. V. , Illienko V. V. , Lazariev M. M. , Klepko A. V. , Hudkov I. M.
Published: November 2023

Objective. To study the intensity of decomposition of plant residues in sod-podzolic soils affected with different doses of ionizing radiation in the zone of unconditional (mandatory) resettlement and in the exclusion zone of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP). To assess the prospects of a new method (tea bag index) for determining the features of the transformation of plant residues in the soil. Methods. Radiological (to measure the current level of radioactive contamination in order to justify the selection of territories that have a significant gradient in terms of soil contamination with radionuclides and the rates of absorbed doses of ionizing radiation for soil microorganisms, respectively); tea bag index method, which involves the exposure of standardized tea bags of two types — Lipton green tea (EAN: 87 22700 05552 5) and Lipton rooibos tea (EAN: 87 22700 18843 8) — in soil, followed by measurement of weight loss in a given time; gas chromatography (substrate-induced respiratory method for determining the content of microbial biomass in soil). Results. Relatively low doses of radioactive contamination (up to 1.6 μGy/h) stimulated the accumulation of microbial biomass in the soil of landfill No. 1 (near the village of Khrystynivka, Narodytskyi district, Zhytomyr region) and activated the processes of decomposition of plant residues. High rates of absorbed doses of radioactive contamination (between 3.7 and 61.6 and, especially, for the dose of 84.0 μGy/h) in the soil of landfill No. 2, located in the exclusion zone of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, had a negative effect on the studied parameters. Conclusion. Low radiation doses activate the development and functioning of soil microorganisms. The negative effect of high doses of ionizing radiation on the activity of soil microbiota, which participates in the transformation of plant residues, persists for a long time (36 years after the Chornobyl accident). At the same time, there is an accumulation of undecomposed dead matter in the soil. The expediency of using the method of determining the activity of transformation of plant residues (TBI) in microbiological studies of soils has been shown, since it is possible to determine not only the rate of mineralization of plant material, but also the parameters of the transformation of residues into stable organic matter de novo.

Authors: Reshetnikov М. V. , Butsenko L. M. , Pasichnyk L. A.
Published: November 2023

Objective. To study the virulence properties of Pseudomonas syringae strains isolated from soriz and various representatives of sorghum crops in Ukraine and to establish the sensitivity range of plants to these pathogens. Methods. Ten strains freshly isolated from soriz (Sorghum orysoidum) were used to study virulence properties, namely: Pseudomonas syringae 210342, 211141a, 211141, 210341, 21034, 210541b, 210541, and Pseudomonas sp. 210521, 21052, 21054, pathogenic strains of sorghum crops from the collection of the Department of Phytopathogenic Bacteria of D. K. Zabolotny Institute of Microbiology and Virology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and collection strains of phytopathogens that can be potential causative agents of bacterial diseases of soriz or are causative agents of diseases of agricultural crops that can be used in crop rotation. The virulence properties of strains isolated from sorghum were determined on plants of the genus Sorghum. To establish the range of crops sensitive to these pathogens, a number of plants belonging to other genera and families, both cultivated and weed, were tested. Artificial inoculation was carried out in the greenhouse and in the field as injection of bacterial suspension of 1×109 CFU/mL into the leaf surface and stem at all phases of the development of soriz and sorghum cultures. Accounting for artificial contamination was carried out in 7 to 14 days using a locally modified 6-point scale. Aggressiveness of bacteria was assessed by the size of necrosis that formed at the site of injection of the bacterial suspension. Aggressiveness was calculated as the arithmetic mean of the results. Results. P. syringae strains isolated from soriz were found to be virulent for soriz and sorghum crops, however, heterogeneous in aggressiveness. The most aggressive strains were P. syringae 211141a, 210341, and 21034. Some collection strains, isolated from different cultures, showed higher aggressiveness against sugar and grain sorghum than against soriz and Sudan grass. The studied strains of phytopathogens were found to affect segetal vegetation; the most sensitive to the studied strains were horsetail, field bindweed, goldenrod. They showed high aggressiveness against setaria, ragweed, and common sedge. Strains of P. syringae affecting potato, beet, sunflower and tomato plants were identified. Conclusion. Pseudomonas syringae strains isolated from contaminated sorghum plants are virulent and capable of infecting a wide range of plants, including plants of the sorghum family, other types of agricultural crops, and various types of segetal vegetation. Strains of Pectobacterium carotovorum, Xanthomonas vasicola pv. holcicola, Diskeya chryzanthemy, Pantoea agglomerans can be potential pathogens of sorghum crops. The results indicate that segetal vegetation can serve as a reservoir of bacterial infections and play a role in the transfer of bacterial pathogens.

Peter Kolosimo è stato un personaggio molto noto in Italia e all'estero tra gli anni Sessanta e Ottanta del Novecento. I suoi libri hanno avuto un grande successo, in particolare quelli dedicati alla cosiddetta “teoria degli antichi astronauti”: l'ipotesi che la Terra sia stata visitata in tempi ancestrali da extraterrestri, che hanno interferito sullo sviluppo biologico e culturale umano. Scopo di questo saggio è di mostrare come la formazione intellettuale di Kolosimo debba molto alla fantascienza e alla letteratura a fumetti.

Peter Kolosimo was a very well-known figure in Italy and abroad between the 1960s and 1980s. His books have had great success, in particular those dedicated to the so-called "ancient astronaut theory": the hypothesis that the Earth was visited in ancestral times by extraterrestrials, who interfered with human biological and cultural development. The aim of this essay is to show how Kolosimo's intellectual formation owes much to science fiction and comics literature.
EFFECT OF ASHWAGANDHA ON BONE MINERAL DENSITY IN ANIMAL MODELS: A NARRATIVE REVIEW
Authors: Obhrai Simran , Shenoy Devraj Shweta , Arora Minaxi
Published: November 2023

Osteoporosis is a prevalent health issue characterized by reduced bone strength and an increased risk of fractures. Current
treatments for osteoporosis have limitations and associated side effects, necessitating the exploration of alternative
therapies. Ashwagandha, a medicinal herb with a long history in traditional Indian medicine, has gained attention for its potential health benets,
including its effects on bone health. This narrative review aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the existing knowledge on the effects of
ashwagandha on bone mineral density (BMD) in animal models. The ndings suggest that ashwagandha supplementation can improve bone
density parameters, such as tibia bone weight, tibia ash weight, and tibia calcium and phosphorus content, enhance calcium retention and gene
expression related to bone development. Additionally, studies demonstrated that ashwagandha can prevent bone loss induced by ovariectomy and
calcium deciency. These discoveries imply that ashwagandha could emerge as a promising natural remedy for osteoporosis and related skeletal
ailments. Nonetheless, it is imperative to emphasize that additional investigations, encompassing clinical trials involving human subjects, are
indispensable to substantiate these initial ndings and ascertain ashwagandha's effectiveness and safety in managing osteoporosis. Furthermore,
delving into the intricate mechanisms underpinning ashwagandha's actions and exploring the spectrum of potential adverse effects is a crucial
avenue for future exploration.

wanted to compare the efcacy of lignocaine, dexamethasone and ketamine as pre-intubation laryngeal spray for
attenuation of POST. Hence this study was undertaken. 105 patients of ASA cla Materials And Methods: ss І & ІІ were randomized sssssusing
closed sealed envelope technique into Group K: received 25mg (0.5ml) Ketamine spray made to 2ml with normal saline; Group L: received 2ml
of 4% Lidocaine spray; and Group D: received 4mg of dexamethasone, made to 2ml with normal saline. Endotracheal tube (ET) cuff pressure was
maintained at 18-20cm of H2O throughout the surgery. The patient was assessed for the incidence and severity of POST, hoarseness, voice
changes and any other complications at 0, 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours after extubation. There wa Results: s no signicant difference in incidence and
severity of POST between the three groups at all intervals of follow-up and also at any given interval. However, it was clinically observed that
patients of dexamethasone group had lesser incidence of POST compared to the other groups, though this was not statistically signicant. No
complication or adverse effects were noted due to any study drug. Prophylactic spray w Conclusion: ith either Ketamine, Dexamethasone or
Lidocaine 4% spray signicantly decreases the incidence of POST at 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours post operatively in patients undergoing surgeries under
general endotracheal anesthesia without any reported adverse effects of the study drugs.

Introduction: Food that is offered to complement breast milk in order to meet baby's growing needs is called
'complementary food'. Appropriate complementary feeding is vital for children's health. Nurses play a role in educating
mothers regarding the same. This study conducted to compare the knowledge of mothers of babies aged 6-24 months with nurses. Objective: To
determine the level of knowledge and attitude about complementary feeding among the nurses and mothers. Methods: A descriptive
cross–sectional questionnaire based study was carried out with 401 nurses of a tertiary care hospital in North Karnataka and 425 mothers of
babies aged 6-24 months in August- September 2022 using a structured questionnaire. Results: Among the mothers, 53.5% were aged between
21- 30 years and 46.5% of them were degree holders. 69% initiated breast feeding soon after birth and 65.5% exclusively breast fed upto 6
months. Delayed initiation of complementary feeding was noted in 30.8% of mothers, 60.8% preferred homemade complementary feed. Food
diversity was very low (10.1%) and the most mothers reduced frequency of feeding during common illnesses. Concept of 'hot' and 'cold' food
existed among majority of the population. Nurses knowledge was better compared to mothers knowledge, but still requires improvement in many
areas. Mothers knowledge regarding complementary feeding is inadequate and practices Conclusion: are inappropriate. False beliefs as well as
social taboos tend to wean the child at an inappropriate age and prevent consumption of nutritious food. Even in healthcare workers, this
knowledge is lacking. Hence, it is essential to educate nurses to provide proper knowledge and education to prevent malnutrition and improve the
health status of children

Kansen bieden, kansen pakken: De aanpak van jonge veelplegers
Authors: Weijers Ido
Published: November 2023

Hoe kunnen we ervoor zorgen dat jonge veelplegers zo snel mogelijk stoppen met hun criminele routine? Voor een vruchtbare aanpak blijkt het cruciaal om onderscheid te maken naar de ontwikkelingsfase waarin de bewuste jongere zich bevindt. Vindt hij het allemaal best en is hij helemaal niet van plan om te stoppen? Twijfelt hij en wil hij niet eindeloos op dit pad doorgaan, maar ziet hij geen ander perspectief? Of zet hij al echte stappen in een andere richting en valt hij af en toe nog eens terug? Elk van deze verschillende fasen behoeft een eigen aanpak. Ido Weijers biedt een indringend inkijkje in de leef- en denkwereld van jonge recidivisten, hun achtergronden en motieven. Voor deze studie is jarenlang een grote groep jonge veelplegers gevolgd. Centraal staan de bevindingen uit de uitvoerige gesprekken die we de afgelopen jaren met in totaal vijftig jonge (ex-)veelplegers hebben gevoerd. Deze bevindingen leveren nieuwe inzichten op in wat hen blijkt te motiveren om te stoppen met hun criminele levenswijze. Ten slotte worden onderbouwde voorstellen gedaan om deze ontwikkeling te stimuleren. 'Kansen bieden, kansen pakken' bevat tevens een ‘Vragenlijst Veelplegers’, als hulpmiddel om een goed beeld te krijgen van de motivatiefase waarin de jonge veelpleger zich bevindt. Ido Weijers is pedagoog en emeritus hoogleraar Jeugdrechtspleging en jeugdbescherming aan de Universiteit Utrecht. Hij publiceerde eerder over dit onderwerp Stoppen of volharden: Portretten van jonge veelplegers (2014) en Veelplegers aanpakken. 81 jonge veelplegers 15 jaar gevolgd (2019).
