Published: November 2024

The production and productivity of banana is governed by many biotic and abiotic factors. Among biotic factors, incidence of insect-pests is considered as one of the major impedimentin successful cultivation of banana. With respect to the Indian condition around eight pests commonly infest the banana crop. However, the banana pseudostem weevil Odoiporus longicollis is cosmopolite insect pest that threatens the banana cultivation. The most common management practices followed for managing this pest includes cultural practices. Diverse cultural practices have been communicated to and/or applied by resource-poor households over the past two decades to improve the overall farm health and crop tolerance to biotic/abiotic factors. Therefore, cultural practices are the only measures available to small-scale farmers for the control of banana pseudostem weevil. Hence the survey was conducted during 2020-21 to study the influence of cultural practices on O. longicollis infestation in major banana growing districts of north Karnataka. From the survey results on the cultural practices reveals that the pest severity was more severe on ratoon crop fields and the frequency recorded was 37.82%. However, the frequency recorded was 1.68% in first crop, wherein no pest infestation was recorded in main crop. Whereas, good number of farmers could not make a difference in infestation of pest between main and ratoon crop (60.50%) and in such fields infestation level was 4.11%. The banana farmers who were interacted mainly used suckers (36.13%) and tissue culture plants (36.13%) for planting followed by rhizome (24.37%), whereas few farmers used suckers and rhizomes (3.36%) for planting in a single piece of land. Accordingly, the per cent infestation of BPW was less when both tissue cultured plants (4.84%) and suckers (5.53%) used for planting. Whereas, infestation was more severe when both suckers and rhizomes were used (27.50%) on same piece of land and which was followed by rhizomes alone (16.00%).

Published: November 2024

Aim: To estimate the genetic and phenotypic correlations in production and reproduction traits in Frieswal Cattle under FPT.
Place and Duration of Study: G B Pant University of Agricultural and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India, Between March, 2023 to March, 2024.
Methodology: The present study was conducted on Frieswal cattle, a synthetic breed, using data from 1163 first lactation records, progenies of 67 sires, spread over period of nine years (2013-2021) as part of an ongoing field progeny testing programme at GBPUA&T, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. The study aimed to estimate genetic and phenotypic correlations among various production and reproduction traits, such as test day peak yield (TDPY), first lactation 305-days milk yield (FL305D-MY), fat percentage (FP), first lactation length (FLL), age at sexual maturity (ASM), age at first calving (AFC), gestation period (GP), first calving interval (FCI), first service period (FSP), and number of services per conception (NSPC).The data were analyzed using WOMBAT software.
Results: The study revealed that age at first service (ASM) and age at first calving (AFC) had very high genetic (0.99) and phenotypic (0.99) correlations, suggesting they were influenced by the same genes. A strong genetic correlation (0.71) between ASM and gestation period (GP) indicates a close association, while the negative correlation between ASM and total days to peak yield (TDPY) (-0.76) suggests younger cows reach higher peak yields. ASM’s negative genetic correlation (-0.57) with first lactation 305-days milk yield (FL305D-MY) implied that selecting for earlier maturity could enhance milk production. Positive correlation between ASM and reproductive traits (FCI, FSP, NSPC, and FDP) were observed, while FL305D-MY showed high negative correlation with traits like FLL and FP but positive phenotypic correlation with FLL, FCI, and FSP. Additionally, there were varied genetic correlation among FCI, FSP, NSPC and FDP, highlighting complex inter-trait relationships.
Conclusions: The present study highlighted the potential of Frieswal herd for selective breeding to improve both milk production and reproductive efficiency. By focusing on traits like age at sexual maturity (ASM), age at first calving (AFC), and milk yield indicators such as test day peak yield (TDPY) and first lactation 305-days milk yield (FL305D-MY), breeders can target genetically associated traits for enhanced overall productivity. These findings provide a valuable foundation for future genetic improvement strategies in Frieswal cattle.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Lee Jami , Lee Jeong Hwan , Lee Soo Jin
Published: November 2024

To understand how children's approaches to solving addition and subtraction problems reflect their numerical counting schemes, we conducted clinical interviews (34 sessions) with 17 elementary school students for about two months. The current study reports the common characteristics exhibited by students with varying counting schemes in solving the five tasks. We discuss the possibility that students’ ability to use the quantity of 10 as a unit and comprehend the parts-whole of given two quantities could be essential in advancing them with the initial numerical scheme(INS) to the tacitly nested number sequence(TNS). The study concludes by providing implications for teachers of first-grade mathematics classrooms.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Pang JeongSuk , Kim Leena , Kang Eunjeen , Lee SooJin
Published: November 2024

This study designed six lessons by reorganizing the unit of finding rules for second-grade students, while focusing on the activities to identify the structure of patterns. For this purpose, two second-grade classes were selected, and two teachers taught their respective classes based on the same teaching and learning materials. The lessons consisted of four main activities: identifying the structure of repeated patterns, identifying the structure of growing patterns, converting the properties of the patterns to compare them, and guessing the particular terms of patterns. The results of this study showed that the activity of identifying the structure of patterns gave students a clear understanding of the structure of patterns based on how they were generated. This in turn helped students to express the structure of the patterns in multiple ways, and to create the structure of the patterns for themselves. Based on these findings, this paper closes with the implications for teaching pattern activities to young students.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Song Chang-Geun , Lee Hyo Bin , Lee Kyeong-Hwa
Published: November 2024

Various countries, including South Korea, are attempting big ideas approaches in their national mathematics curriculum. To successfully implement a big ideas approach, it is essential for teachers to understand meanings of big ideas in their curriculum. Against the backdrop of the implementation of big ideas as the ‘core ideas’ in the 2022 revised national mathematics curriculum, this study analyzed how teachers' understanding of the meanings of core ideas is shaped when interpreting the curriculum documents, based on a theoretical perspective that views teachers as experts in curriculum interpretation. The study categorized teachers' meaning-making evidence into document-based and reference-based sources. It further elaborated on the meanings that teachers attribute to the core ideas, based on their features (foundation, higher-level perspective, integration, value) and their roles in teaching and learning (competence cultivation, promotion of deep learning, focusing). Teachers' interpretations were divided into interpretations that pursue a topic-general meaning-making of the core ideas and those that seek a topic-specific meaning-making, as well as interpretations that aim to integrate them with practice. Through this analysis, a detailed understanding of how teachers interpret and comprehend core ideas emerged. Based on the analysis results, the study discussed approaches to support teachers' comprehension of the core ideas in the 2022 revised national mathematics curriculum.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Chang Hyewon , Kim Nahee , Nam Jihyun
Published: November 2024

Visual representation is an important tool for problem solving, as finding appropriate representations for themselves and solving problems is one of the important competences for students. This study analyzed the types, frequency of use, characteristics, correctness rate, difficulties, etc., of the visual representations generated by third-grade students in problems involving fractions of a natural number greater than 1 in relation to discrete and continuous models, or whether the structure as a diagram should be included in the discrete model. The results of the analysis showed a variety of types of visual representations by students. They preferred discrete models over continuous models, with a high frequency of using diagrams that include structures considering the denominator of the fraction or the decimal system. Some students were found to have difficulties in equal partitoning discrete quantities due to confusion between the number of groups and the number of individual items within a group. Based on these analysis results, implications for teaching fractions of discrete quantities were discussed.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Kim Juhee , Lee Soo Jin
Published: November 2024

This study applies the grounded theory research method to closely understand the difficulties experienced and the coping mechanisms employed by students admitted to science high schools through the equal opportunity admission system in their mathematics learning. Specifically, in-depth interviews were conducted with eight graduating third-year students from a science high school, and the collected data along with the participants' math learning journals were analyzed following the procedures of grounded theory. The findings revealed that all participants experienced academic burnout in relation to their mathematics studies. The timing, pace of entering burnout, and recovery varied among the participants. Although this academic burnout seemed to naturally resolve to a significant extent during the third year due to reasons such as early graduation of top-tier students, some participants remained in a state of burnout. Based on the results of analyzing the difficulties and coping strategies in mathematics learning from the perspective of students in the equal opportunity admission system, this study proposes implications for the guidance and program development for these students.

Published: November 2024

This study analyzes trends in affective domain research through dynamic topic modeling, examining 380 papers published in seven major Korean mathematics education journals. The number of topics was set at nine based on coherence and perplexity measures, and topics were identified by considering the frequency and relevance of keywords. Topic 1 was disposition, attitude, interest, achievement, and pedagogy, Topic 2 was anxiety, interest, belief, factors, and levels, Topic 3 was attitude, problem solving, and programs, Topic 4 was attitude, belief, abilities, and learning activities, Topic 5 was belief, motivation, anxiety, programs, and activities, Topic 6 was affect(meta-affect), attitude, levels, and achievement, Topic 7 was self-efficacy, attitude, mathematical models, and practices, Topic 8 was value, motivation, instruction, and achievement, and Topic 9 was anxiety, motivation, textbooks, and storytelling. The topics covered various themes such as attitudes, anxiety, beliefs, motivation, and achievement, reflecting a strong connection to cognitive aspects like achievement, ability, and problem-solving. While overall patterns were similar, topics related to anxiety and beliefs (Topics 2 and 5) showed a distinct upward trend. The emergence of new terms such as ‘meta-affect’ and ‘mindset’ indicates the expanding scope of affective domain research. These findings suggest the need for continued exploration of new areas within the affective domain, alongside its links to cognitive factors, to support students' affective achievements.

The problems studied in this study are the many cases of sexual violence that still occur in Untirta, campus facilities are not fully available to support anti-sexual violence, the implementation of socialization has not reached all target groups, and the culture of the target group still considers sexual violence as a taboo to report. The purpose of this study is to determine how the policy of preventing and handling sexual violence is implemented at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University. This study uses the theory put forward by Van Metter and Van Horn. The researcher used a descriptive qualitative method with data analysis through interviews, observations, documentation, and literature studies. For the selection of informants, the researcher used purposive and snowball techniques. The results of this study indicate that implementing the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence policy at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University has been carried out quite well because it meets each variable studied in the Van Metter Van Horn theory. However, in its implementation, there are certainly still various obstacles faced by the Untirta PPKS Task Force.

A Phenomenology for Women of Color
Authors: Lee Emily S.
Published: November 2024

A Phenomenology for Women of Color: Merleau-Ponty and Identity-in-Difference explores how phenomenology can help philosophy of race explain the persistence of race as a key indicator of social standing. Engaging with the work of women of color to think more deeply about our racial and gendered structural relations with one another, Emily S. Lee argues that phenomenology is helpful in two ways: (1) race, as a social construct, is phenomenal and (2) Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology centers on embodiment and therefore applies to both feminist and racial concerns. Lee defines the phenomenon of race as a structure that is open-ended, is developed creatively, and mediates one’s situatedness in the world and relations with others. Drawing on ideas from Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty, this book depicts the dynamic and creative expressions of race and racism to address the ambiguities within the experiences of race and sex and, ultimately, to conceptualize the identity group “women of color.”
Nongovernmental Organization Culture and Ethics in Kenya
Authors: Kimemia Douglas
Published: November 2024

The Non-Governmental sector has played a noble role in providing needed support following market failure and government failure all over the world. In developing countries and Africa in particular, this sector has become an important arm of economic development and civic engagement. However, there is growing suspicion, accompanied by increased evidence, that these organizations have been tolerating corrupt practices, such as lack of accountability and transparency, nepotism, and favoritism in their governing systems and finances. Douglas Kimemia’s, Nongovernmental Organization Culture and Ethics in Kenya focuses on the relationship between the intersection of corruption and organizational culture among NGOs in Kenya. Kimemia stresses that NGOs should model strong culture to increase confidence among the various organizational stakeholders to showcase high integrity, transparency, and sound governance that does not tolerate any corrupt practices. This book offers solutions to strengthen the existing culture within NGOs and examines how organizational culture impacts engagement in corrupt practices.
Inheritance and Speculation in Victorian Fiction
Authors: Reich Noa
Published: November 2024

Inheritance and Speculation in Victorian Fiction: Finance, Family, and the Law investigates how Victorian fiction reconfigures the narrative and social conventions of inheritance. While recent criticism has concentrated on this fiction’s engagement with newer financial forms, this book contends that Victorian novels both attest to the persistence of inheritance and reveal its unsettling affinities with speculative forms. Focusing on Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights (1847), Charles Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend (1864-65), Wilkie Collins’s Armadale¬ (1866), and George Eliot’s Middlemarch (1871-72), each chapter explores a recurring pattern of contrast and conflation between inheritance and financial speculation. Taking an interdisciplinary historical and formal approach, Reich shows how this pattern gives narrative shape to concerns that were also emerging in contemporary political and legal debates around succession, bequest, landed estates, and conceptions of the family. Attending to the novels’ concrete and figurative allusions to these forms as well as their tentative alternatives, Reich also illustrates how the novels’ self-reflexive subversion of both characters and readers’ expectations based on inheritance conventions challenge our modes of reading. Inheritance and Speculation thus not only illuminates the integral role played by inheritance in Victorian fiction’s mediation of the credit economy, but also offers a new understanding of the complex role of convention in this fiction.

There are many challenges that are faced in the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) due to the complexities associated with the tumor. Association of different types of mutations are one of the major complexities. Among these mutations, BRAF mutations are significantly gathering more attention due to their impact on disease progression and therapeutic response. This review provides an analysis of the current understanding of BRAF mutations in NSCLC, focusing on the molecular intricacies, clinical implications, and therapeutic advancements. The article explores the diverse spectrum of BRAF mutations, highlighting the prevalence of specific mutations such as V600E and non-V600E alterations. The review also highlights the intricate signalling pathways influenced by BRAF mutations, shedding light on their role in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Therapeutically, we critically evaluate the existing targeted therapies tailored for BRAF-mutant NSCLC, addressing their efficacy, limitations, and emerging resistance mechanisms. Furthermore, we outline ongoing clinical trials and promising investigational agents that hold potential for reshaping the treatment of NSCLC. This review provides comprehensive current information about the role of BRAF mutations in NSCLC. Understanding the molecular diversity, clinical implications, and therapeutic strategies associated with BRAF-mutant NSCLC is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes and steering the direction of future research in this evolving field.

We report on a new species of Stenasellus Dollfus, 1897 (Isopoda, Stenasellidae) from groundwater of Iran. Stenasellus stygopersicus Jugovic, Malek-Hosseini & Issartel sp. nov. inhabits the Chah Kabootari Cave that is adjacent to the Tashan Cave, the type locality of the first recorded species of Stenasellidae from Iran, Stenasellus tashanicus Khalaji-Pirbalouty, Fatemi, Malek-Hosseini & Kuntner, 2018. Both caves are fed by sulfidic groundwater and belong to the Tashan-Chah Kabootari species-rich aquifer on the Zagros Mountains. Both species are characterized by a large body size (≥ 20 mm), a female-biased sexual size dimorphism, and a distinct black-pigmented Bellonci’s organ. Stenasellus stygopersicus differs from S. tashanicus by a short and wide protopodite of pleopod I, setae set essentially along the apical margin of pleopod I exopodite, the subequal length and width of the male pleopod II protopodite, and deeply bilobed endopodites of pleopods III–V. Molecular evidence suggests that while Stenasellus stygopersicus is sister to S. tashanicus, the species are genetically distinguishable, with divergence time estimates ranging from 23 to 39.8 Ma.
