Authors: Harsimran Singh , Santosh Kumar , Rakesh Kumar
Published: October 2023

Coronavirus is the category of viruses that mainly influence the respiratory tract of mammals which include human beings. It was first isolated in 1937 from an infectious bronchitis virus in birds. However, the COVID-19, zoonotic virus was first identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. It was increasing rapidly at a great speed. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the current status of COVID-19. A brief overview on COVID-19 is discussed by summarizing the data present in literature. In addition, this review paper emphasizes on the history, origin, characteristics, and impacts of COVID-19 on economy. The world has confirmed 54,301,156 cases, which include 1,316,994 deaths as per the WHO till 16th November 2020. COVID-19 is a life threatening virus. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, fatigue, soreness, breathlessness, and throat malaise among others. Scientists from all over the globe are trying their best to find a suitable antidote which could curb it, but till now have not been able to do so. This pandemic has shaken the entire global economy. The IMF predicted this COVID-19 situation to be the worst economic collapse. This pandemic situation has affected the economy mainly due to two reasons. Firstly, this pandemic persuaded social distancing, which led to the shutdown of markets, corporate sectors and schools etc. Secondly, the pace at which it was spreading led to the decline in consumption among consumers and investors.

Authors: Lima Mayra Ravena Cardoso , Carvalhêdo Josania Lima Portela
Published: October 2023

Com o objetivo de desvelar a razão da opção pela docência dos bacharéis em Direito que atuam no ensino superior, referenciada na pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa descritiva na área da educação, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa narrativa, mediante o uso do memorial de formação com três professores formadores do Curso de Direito de uma instituição pública de ensino superior, com base na análise de dados compreensiva-interpretativa, ancorada em Souza (2014). Os dados revelam que os Programas de Monitoria e o Programa de Iniciação Científica aproximam da docência os estudantes do ensino superior dos cursos de bacharelados, pelo contato mais próximo com as diversas práticas dos professores (ensino, pesquisa, extensão e gestão acadêmica). Há os que demonstram interesse pela docência, pelo contato com professores que são inspiradores, levando-os a perceberem a docência no ensino superior como uma possibilidade de carreira profissional. Outros são encaminhados à docência em razão de características pessoais como o gosto pela leitura ou pelo conhecimento. Concluiu-se que são diversos os caminhos que levam os bacharéis à docência, como percebe-se nos dados produzidos sobre o objeto de estudo, dando, assim, o passo inicial para construção de uma carreira docente no ensino superior.

Authors: Cihon Joseph H. , Leaf Justin B. , Kazemi Ellie
Published: October 2023

In our recently published introduction article (i.e., Cihon et al., 2023) to a special issue of the lnternational Electronic Journal of Elementary Education we provided an introduction and brief description of each of the articles included in the special issue. In this article we referred to an article written by Gershfeld-Litvak, which has been retracted at our request due to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that led to numerous inaccuracies within the reference and the body of the paper. Below is the paragraph that was written in the original manuscript:
Original paragraph:
“Linnehan and colleagues begin a discussion about the contingencies leading to the development of certification and licensure within ABA as well as the resulting unintended consequences. Kazemi extends the discussion of certification and licensure to the challenges and benefits of accreditation of organizations. Gershfeld-Litvak provides a balanced discussion of the possible benefits and drawbacks of private equity entering into the field of ABA-based interventions for autistics/individuals diagnosed with ASD.”
Following the retraction, the paragraph should read as follows:
“Linnehan and colleagues begin a discussion about the contingencies leading to the development of certification and licensure within ABA as well as the resulting unintended consequences. Kazemi extends the discussion of certification and licensure to the challenges and benefits of accreditation of organizations.”

FARKLI ÖĞRENME ORTAMLARINDA DÜZENLENEN ÖĞRENME ETKİNLİKLERİNİN ÖĞRENENLERİN SOSYAL BULUNUŞLUK, ÖĞRENME VE MEMNUNİYET DÜZEYLERİNE ETKİSİ
Authors: BALAT Şener , KARAMAN Selçuk
Published: October 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı öğrenme ortamlarında düzenlenen öğrenme etkinliklerinin öğrenenlerin sosyal bulunuşluk, öğrenme ve memnuniyet düzeylerine etkisini incelemektir. Eğitsel videolar, doğru-yanlış eşleştirme, soru-cevap, sohbet ve tartışma gibi çeşitli öğrenme etkinlikleri kullanılarak altı haftalık bir uygulama süreci boyunca yaygın olarak kullanılan bir öğrenme yönetim sistemi ve sosyal paylaşım ortamını kullanan iki ayrı grup üzerinde deneysel çalışma yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, bir devlet üniversitesinin lisans programına kayıtlı 64 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Deneysel işlem için iki farklı öğrenme ortamı tasarlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, sosyal bulunuşluk algısı, başarı durumu ve memnuniyet seviyesi olmak üzere üç değişken ile ilgili veriler toplanmıştır. Sosyal bulunuşluk algısını ölçmek için "sosyal bulunuşluk ölçeği", memnuniyet seviyesini ölçmek için "memnuniyet ölçeği" ve öğrenme düzeyini belirlemek için "akademik başarı testi" kullanılmıştır. Toplanan veriler, betimsel istatistik araçları, t-testi ve kovaryans analizi (ANCOVA) yöntemleriyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, öğrenme yönetim sistemi ve sosyal paylaşım ortamları öğrenenlerin sosyal katılım algısı, memnuniyet düzeyi ve akademik başarı düzeyi açısından genel olarak farklılık göstermemektedir. Madde bazında öğrenme yönetim sistemi lehine memnuniyet düzeyinde farklılaşma gözlemlenirken, sosyal paylaşım ortamında grup arkadaşlarıyla iletişim ve etkileşim açısından bir farklılaşma bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca, öğrenme yönetim sistemi ortamında öğrencilerin akademik başarıları ile sosyal katılım algısı arasında pozitif bir ilişki bulunurken, sosyal paylaşım ortamında herhangi bir ilişki gözlemlenmemiştir. Bu nedenle, benzer etkinliklerin farklı ortamlarda uygulanması, sosyal katılım algısı, memnuniyet düzeyi ve başarı seviyelerinde farklılıklara yol açmamaktadır. Ancak, ortamların özelliklerine bağlı olarak bu değişkenler arasında farklılıklar oluşabilir. Bu nedenle, ortamların güçlü yönlerinin birleştirilmesiyle bu değişkenler arasında olumlu etkileşim sağlanması önemlidir. Bu şekilde, bu değişkenler arasında olumlu bir etkileşim sağlamak için ortamların güçlü yönleri birleştirilmelidir.

Authors: ESER Hamza Bahadır , UYGUR Mehmet Recai , SAYDAM Abdurrahman
Published: October 2023

This study examines the impact of the Syrian civil war on Türkiye, specifically the migration of Syrians to Türkiye and the legal and institutional arrangements made for their temporary protection. Initially, Syrian immigrants settled in camps along the Syrian border, but they were later allowed to reside outside the camps, leading to their integration into Turkish society. The study analyzes the legal and institutional arrangements for Syrians under temporary protection status and the services provided by the Adana Metropolitan Municipality. The role of local governments in migration policies and the financing of services for immigrants are also explored. The strategic plan and activity reports of the Adana Metropolitan Municipality are analyzed to understand the various projects undertaken by the municipality in collaboration with international stakeholders to improve the integration and social and economic welfare of immigrants.

The findings of the study show that the Adana Metropolitan Municipality has implemented numerous initiatives to support the integration of Syrian immigrants into Turkish society. These initiatives include education and vocational training programs, health services, and social support programs. The study also emphasizes the importance of local government involvement in migration policies and the need for adequate funding to ensure that essential services are provided to immigrants.

A Change in Kazakhstan's Elite Political Structure: Focusing on Winters’s Typologies of Oligarchy
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Kim Siheon , Park Sang-Un
Published: October 2023

Has Kazakhstan's elite political structure changed since the 2022 Kazakh unrest? Prior researches on the Kazakh elite have mainly explained the consolidation or replacement of the supreme leader's power, focusing on elite circulation and clientelism. These studies are useful for understanding the characteristics of the Kazakhstan political system and political changes, but there is a limit to not being able to track changes in the elite political structure from a macro perspective. Because it did not apply a tangible analysis framework. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis on the changes in Kazakhstan's elite political structure before and after the 2022 Kazakh unrest from Winters’s typologies of Oligarchy. As a result of applying two measures which are the ‘Nature of Rule’ and the ‘Oligarchs’ Role in Provision of Coercion’ proposed by Winters, the Nazarbayev regime was close to a ‘Sultanistic Oligarchy’ in that it privatized state power, monopolized the state's economic power, and suppressed opposition to neutralize the influence of other oligarchs. On the other hand, the Tokayev regime tended to shift slightly from the existing ‘Sultanistic Oligarchy’ to the ‘Ruling Oligarchy’ in that it distributed some of the power concentrated on the president, failed to suppress itself at the time of the protests, was supported by the Collective Security Treaty Organization, and eased the state's monopoly on economic power. Consequently, it is difficult to say that the current Kazakh elite political structure has completely changed from the existing ‘Sultanistic Oligarchy’ to the ‘Ruling Oligarchy’, but it is necessary to continuously observe the possibility of change in the future.
The Impact of Digital Transformation on Financial Inclusion: Through the Case of Mobile Money Account in Senegal
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Koo Minji , Kim Chong-Sup
Published: October 2023

This study examines the impact of digital transformation on financial inclusion, focusing on the case of mobile money accounts in Senegal. As the world experiences rapid technological advancements, digital financial services have emerged as a key driver of financial inclusion in developing economies. Through the scope of mobile money accounts, this research analyzes the extent to which digitalization has facilitated access to financial services for diverse socioeconomic groups in Senegal. Based on the microeconomic data from the World Bank's Global Findex database, this study investigates the ownership of mobile money accounts across various demographic factors, such as gender, education, and income levels. By employing logistic regression analysis, the findings reveal that Senegal has experienced financial inclusion through mobile money accounts when considering the overall increase in the number of account holders. However, the results show that inequality in financial inclusion exists among different groups, manifesting in distinct patterns across education, income, and gender categories. As digital financial services offer a promising path for broader access to financial accounts, the research highlights the significance of proactive government policies aimed at reducing disparities and ensuring equitable financial inclusion for all socioeconomic segments. Overall, this study contributes to the existing literature on financial inclusion and digital transformation, providing valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and international organizations working towards sustainable and inclusive financial systems in developing countries like Senegal.
Conditional Effects of Civil Society on Global Judicial Independence Promotion: Lessons from Bulgaria
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Moon Yong-il
Published: October 2023

Western democracies and various international organizations have been eager to promote judicial independence in developing countries in a belief that an independent judiciary would consolidate democratic governance in the world. However, despite the extensive and still-growing demands from foreign and international agencies, surprisingly little has been clarified whether and how these foreign efforts are conducive to the actual enhancement of judicial independence in target countries. The research aims to clarify the puzzles by examining the Bulgarian case. The country has received strong supports and pressures to improve judicial independence from external actors such as EU. However, de facto judicial independence in Bulgaria remains rather weak. The research argues that an operational problem - e.g., fragile civil society due to a quantitative growth without qualitative empowerment - and an institutional problem - e.g., individual citizens’ lack of direct access to judicial review - hinder consolidation of judicial independence in Bulgaria.
An Analysis Factors of Memory-based International and Domestic Politics: Korea-Japan conflicts under Moon Jae-in Regime
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Kang Hye Jin , Choi Dong Ju
Published: October 2023

Sometimes countries value ideological factors and accept conflicts with other countries even at the expense of security interests or economic losses. A case in point is the Korea-Japan conflict.
The period when such conflicts between Korea and Japan intensified was during the Moon Jae-in government. The specificity and sensitivity of Korea-Japan relations were recognized by both citizens of the two countries, and even though it was necessary to maintain a cooperative relationship in consideration of the mutual dependence between the two countries, there was a tendency to officially express the Korea-Japan conflict during the Moon Jae-in government. If so, was there any domestic political benefit that could be gained from this?
For this study, we tried to apply the politics of memory, and as examples, we tried to investigate the problem of victims of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery, victims of forced labor, and trade disputes caused by Japan's economic sanctions. As for the analysis data, data such as opinion polls, time series data on the president's approval rating and the Korea-Japan conflict index, political speeches, diplomatic documents, and media articles were mainly used. As an analysis method, it was intended to examine how the Korean government's political and diplomatic actions affect the president's approval rating in Korea-Japan issues at a time when the Korea-Japan conflict was high. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the timing of the government's political and diplomatic actions on Japan-related issues tended to overlap with the timing of the rise in the Korea-Japan conflict index.

RESUMO DE TCC: ESTABILIZAÇÃO DE SOLOS PARA PRODUÇÃO DE TAIPA DE PILÃO COM CIMENTOS BRASILEIROS
Authors: Mendonça Isabela Karoline , Bessa Sofia Araújo Lima
Published: October 2023

A taipa de pilão é uma técnica de construção com terra que existe há milhares de anos. Embora não seja comum hoje no Brasil, a construção com taipa de pilão tem sido praticada em vários pontos da nossa história, sendo utilizada desde o período colonial, com algumas construções existentes até os dias de hoje. Como material de construção natural, a terra apresenta a vantagem de ser um material que está disponível em grande parte das regiões do mundo, podendo ser retirada até mesmo no próprio local da construção, diminuindo custos e energia de produção. Devido à grande procura por edificações eficientes econômica e energeticamente, a taipa de pilão vem ganhando espaço como forma de construção na contemporaneidade. Entretanto, uma desvantagem da construção com terra é que este não é um material padronizado e sua composição depende das características geológicas e climáticas da região. Outro problema bastante encontrado na revisão da literatura, diz respeito a erosão das taipas quando há presença de água, seja do subsolo, da superfície ou da chuva. Portanto, como forma de suprir essa lacuna, a presente pesquisa consiste no estudo e análise da taipa de pilão, com solo da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte (RMBH), estabilizada com cimentos Portland brasileiros (CP II E-32 e CP V ARI) por meio do ensaio de resistência à compressão. A partir deste estudo, pôde-se concluir que as misturas de solo com cimento Portland, CP V ARI e CP II E-32 apresentaram resultados positivos em termo de desempenho mecânico e que de modo geral o uso do cimento Portland apresentou-se como promissor material para melhorar a qualidade da taipa de pilão, visto que falta ao solo a presença de material fino equivalente a argila e ao silte.
RESUMO DE TCC: COMPARAÇÃO DO DESEMPENHO TÉRMICO E ENERGÉTICO DE UM SISTEMA FOTOVOLTAICO INTEGRADO A UMA FACHADA: EDIFÍCIO EDUCACIONAL EM FLORIANÓPOLIS
Authors: Amorim Marina Espíndola , De Abreu Ana Lígia Papst , Versage Rogério de Souza
Published: October 2023

As edificações são responsáveis por aproximadamente 50% do consumo deeletricidade no Brasil. A utilização de estratégias passivas, ativas, e proativas, podem ser usadas para melhorar o desempenho termo energético das edificações. Quando estas estratégias são incorporadas nas etapas iniciais de projeto, consegue-se obter os melhores resultados de desemepenho termico e energético com menor custo. Em edificações de vários pavimentos, o sistema de vedação vertical é o elemento construtivo com maior influência nas trocas de calor da edificação com o meio externo. Numa edificação com envoltória adequada ao clima (estratégia passiva), uma forma de melhorar o desempenho da edificação é o uso de sistema fotovoltaico aplicado na envoltória (BIPV), estratégia proativa que possibilita a geração de energia limpa in loco. Neste trabalho foi feito uma comparação do desempenho termo energético de três sistemas de vedação vertical em uma edificação de uso educacional em Florianópolis. Os casos avaliadosforam: um caso base, com parede simples em alvenaria; um caso com parede simples e sistema fotovoltaico aplicado diretamente sobre a fachada norte; e por último, um caso com sistema de parede dupla ventilada e sistema fotovoltaico integrado, funcionando como pele externa. Os modelos foram analisados por meio de simulação computacional no software EnergyPlus. Através dessas simulações obteve-se o consumo de energia, a carga térmica, o balanço térmico e a temperatura de ponto de equilíbrio de cada caso, além da geração de energia do sistema fotovoltaico. Como resultado constatou-se que os dois casos com uso de sistemas fotovoltaicos obtiveram um aumento da carga térmica de ar condicionado quando comparados ao caso base. Desta forma, os casos com sistemas fotovoltaicos na fachada apresentaram um consumo maior de energia quando comparados ao caso base. Porém, a geração de energia decorrente do sistema fotovoltaico simulado foi superior a demanda energética do ar condicionado, resultando que o caso base apresentou a maior demanda energética.
SUSTAINABILITY TRANSPARENCY: SCOPE FOR DIGITAL SERVICES
Authors: Lomba Nicastro Marcella , Dos Santos Aguinaldo
Published: October 2023

Transparency for sustainability in digital services represents an emergent challenge for organizations. In addition to the technological push to operationalize digital infrastructure and information systems, knowledge to support service designers in approaching transparency challenges is limited. An understanding of what sustainability transparency means and how to inform the scope for its application in service design is needed. A literature review of the historical evolution and key conceptualizations was used to provide a theoretical framework. Then, an exploratory multiple case study (ex-post-facto) (representing the different contexts of practice) was conducted to help validate and refine the framework. The provided framework can help in understanding the ethical, communication, and value-creation implications of the concept from the digital service-encounter to more systemic scopes.

Authors: Andrezzo Clara , Silva Danilo Corrêa , Sellin Noeli , Oliveira Andresa de , Cavalcanti Anna Luiza Moraes de Sá
Published: October 2023

Elastômeros de uso industrial são majoritariamente materiais poliméricos termofixos, de difícil reciclagem. Assim, esse material é comumente destinado à recuperação energética, desperdiçando suas potencialidades. Uma das alternativas ao reuso desse resíduo é o seu aproveitamento em materiais compostos, os compósitos. Há relatos em literatura sobre o desenvolvimento e aplicações de compósitos reforçados com fibras vegetais ou resíduos da indústria. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o desenvolvimento de um compósito utilizando os resíduos de elastômeros gerados na empresa . Esse artigo se constitui de um recorte de um projeto de Mestrado Profissional em Design, estruturado segundo a metodologia Design Science Research. Foi proposta a utilização de um resíduo particulado de borracha como fase reforço em diferentes proporções em um compósito à base de poliuretano vegetal biodegradável (PUR). Análises visuais e empíricas indicam que a proporção de 70% de resíduo apresenta as melhores propriedades de coesão, textura e uniformidade.

Water Corruption in Central Asia: A Rapid Review
Authors: Mukhtarova Akbikesh
Published: October 2023

Academic scholarship defines sectoral corruption, namely water corruption one of the main threats to the development of Central Asia. While applying a rapid review, the purpose of this article is to explore the current state of research on water corruption, its various forms, and typologies in different water sectors (such as water supply and sanitation, irrigation, hydropower, and water resources management). Specifically, the research seeks to answer the question of how water corruption in Central Asia is defined and analyzed in academic sources. The research findings suggest that academic studies on water corruption are poorly investigated and lack the analysis of sectoral corruption forms and ways to address it, particularly in Central Asia. A rapid review results demonstrate that while briefly mentioning the systemic and pervasive character of water corruption in Central Asia, academic scholarship evades in-depth studies of this problem. It is possible to notice the deficiency of reviews on water corruption studies not only at the regional but also at a global scale. Therefore, this review is anticipated to have academic and practical implications in identifying gaps in water corruption studies, particularly in Central Asia. However, considering the limitations of the rapid review method, to gain a more profound understanding of the problem of water corruption in the region, this study needs to be complemented in the future by a collection of primary and secondary data in Central Asian countries.

Objective: To examine the anthropometric, blood sugar, and lipid profiles of healthy adults, including those with and those without a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Study Design: Case-control study. Setting: Peoples University of Medical & Health Sciences for Women (PUMHS) in Nawabshah. Period: October 1st 2022 to 31st March 2023. Material & Methods: The research included 110 participants. 55 of them had at least one parent with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the other 55 did not. Males and females between the ages of 18 and 25 were present in the study. The following measurements were compared: fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, waist height to hip ratio, and body mass index. Results: This case-control study compares offspring with and without a family history of type 2 DM to determine if there are any anthropometric or metabolic differences. Participant with a family history of type 2 DM showed higher BMI, WC, and WHtR according to the anthropometric measurements. Statistically significant differences were found in their BMI (P-value <0.0001). Even though BMI showed a significant difference, the mean value did not fit into the criteria to be categorized as obese. Conclusion: The present research has shown that people with a family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus are overweight and have abnormal lipid profiles even before they manifest overt type 2 DM.

Objective: To compare the results of Ligasure versus conventional suture ligation for thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter in terms of mean operative time and post-operative drain output volume. Study Design: Comparative Prospective study. Setting: Department of General Surgery, Mayo Hospital Lahore. Period: 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021. Material & Methods: After approval from the Institutional review board of King Edward medical university, a sample of 140 patients was obtained. Patients were divided into 2 groups, Group A and Group B. Group A patients underwent total thyroidectomy with Ligasure vessel sealing while Group B patients underwent total thyroidectomy with conventional suture ligation. Operative time and post-operative drain volume were measured and documented. The P-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The average age of the patients was 36.04 ± 9.78 years with minimum and maximum ages being 18 & 61 years respectively. The mean surgery time was 137.80 ± 26.21 minutes in group A while in group B the mean surgery time of the patients was 164.91 ± 31.94 minutes (P-value= <0.001). The mean post-op drain volume in group A was 91.28 ± 7.82 ml, almost similar to group B patients i: e 70.28 ± 4.33 ml (P-value=0.14). Conclusion: Ligasure vessel sealing is significantly better than conventional suture ligation in terms of mean surgery duration but there is no difference in post-operative drain volume in both groups.

Tephrosia purpurea Pers. (Kolinji) is an important green manure crop in South India especially in low rainfall areas. It has a special significance as green manure crop for Paddy, since it is not grazed by cattle and is drought resistant. As in most of the leguminous crops the seeds of kolinji have hard seeds, besides soft seeds. Due to the presence of hard seeds and other collection peculiarities, a good deal of variation has been observed in the germination behaviour of the seeds of kolinji grown in different localities. With a view to fixing the germination standard for this seed, tests were carried out at the Botany section, Agricultural College and Research Institute, Coimbatore, during 1962, with five samples of seeds collected from different localities of the State. From the germination tests conducted it was observed that different samples exhibited differential behaviour with regard to their germination. Two samples of seeds which recorded better and moderate germination were selected for pretreatment studies in order to improve the germination capacity. The results obtained are presented in this paper.

Pests and diseases take a heavy toll on the yield of ground- nut in India. Besides the overall reduction in yield, the quality of the produce is also affected to a considerable extent. Of the different measures taken to control these pests and diseases, cultivation of resistant varieties has been realised to be the most effective, ideal and economic method of reducing crop losses (Stakman and Harrar, 1957). Evolution of pest and disease resistant varieties is one extreme in plant breeding, the other and most important, being the increase in production and plant breeders throughout the world are striving to reach these ends. But so far no strain completely resistant to any of the major pests and diseases has been evolved.

Ash-gourd or wax-gourd or white pumpkin (Benincasa hispida Cogn.) is being commercially grown in Tamil Nadu and other States of India for its fleshy fruits. Inspite of the importance of the fruit for use as vegetables and in preparation of sweet-meats, there is no improved strain and only non-descript types are under cultivation in Tamil Nadu. These types give low and irregular yields for want of balanced production of staminate ard pistillate flowers, resulting in wide sex ratio and low yields. According to Choudhury (1967) an ideal variety is one which has a narrow sex ratio of stami- nate to pistillate flowers. Towards this goal, breeding work was undertaken at Coimbatore for evolving a high yielding and better quality strain in ash-gourd combining desirable qualities.

From time to time many workers have reported the mutagenic effect of a wide range of herbicides, fungicides and pesticides when used on crop plants (Liang et al., 1967, Wuu and Grant, 1966, 1967, 1967b). However, effective dosage of the chemical which can control the weeds, pests or diseases may not be sufficient enough to cause chromosomal changes, but in higher concentrations many of these chemicals have been shown to induce chromosomal changes, aberrations and point mutations. Wuu and Grant (1967a, 1967b, 1967c) have investigated on the induction of chromosome aberrations in barley and Vicia faba. A better understanding of the cyto genetic response of plants to herbicides and their relationships to herbicidal performance would lead to the formulation of effective and safe chemical weed control. In the present study, the effect of different herbicides on germination, seedling growth, mitotic index, microsporogenesis and pollen fertility in bajra has been reported.

Soil testing for available N is not comparatively as simple as in the case of soil test for availabe P or K. Many indices of N availability have been followed by different workers. These indices mainly fall under three major categories, namely, measurement of the potential source of mineralisable N, measurement of N mineralised by some chemical treatment and the measurement of N mineralised during incubation. Attempts have been made in the past to correlate the N values obtained by one or the other method with crop yield and N uptake. The alkaline permanganate oxidisable N is being used as an index of available N in Tamil Nadu. The present investi- gation was conducted to evaluate the merits of this soil N availability index and also of the four other indices, namely, total soil N, organic carbon content of the soil, nitrate N and ammoniacal N. The relationships between the alkaline permanganate oxidisable N and the other four indices were also studied in order to find out whether the former index could be substituted by the latter indices.
