Analisis intertekstual Roma 9:33 Suatu Pendekatan Memori Semantik Pada Teologi Paulus
Authors: Leman Asnita Basir
Published: June 2023

Romans 9:33 is known as a very complicated verse with Old Testament intertextual quotations from Isaiah 8:14 and 28:16 in splits and crosses. The use of allusions as key words such as "Zion" and "stone" requires analytical methods and specific rules so as not to be biased in semantic interpretation. Even the change of “disturbed” (Isa 28:16 KJV) to “be ashamed” (Rom 9:33 KJV) has meaning. The inerrancy of the Scriptures can be questioned if it is called just a variation or a scribal error, because there is no scribal doubtness in the textual critics. The research aims to prove Paul's historical canonical semantic intertextual writing technique in Romans 9:33 as a key verse explaining theology justified by faith to the Roman plural congregation. Qualitative research through canonical intertextual analysis is carried out using a semantic historical memory approach through multidisciplinary discourses such as cognitive psychology and architectural archeology. The results of the study show that Romans 9:33 was written using the synchronic multiple contexts semantic memory method which is capable of explaining with precision the theology justified by faith, both to the Jewish and non-Jewish congregations in Rome. The result in this study also provides new afirmation of the dynamics of intertextuality poststructuralism in a canonical context for modern hermeneutics.

Leaf Surface Mycoflora around the Hospital Area with Special Reference to Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Memorial Hospital, Raipur, Chhattisgarh
Authors: Lall B.M.
Published: June 2023

Leaf surface provide an important substrate for the growth of a wide variety of fungal organisms. Saprophytic fungi obtain water and nutrients from these surface and leaf surface provide a physical environment suitable for growth and reproduction. For phytopathogenic fungi, the leaf surface represents a temporary, supportive environment, but a surface must be breached before a successful pathogenic interaction can become established. Thus, the physical and chemical characteristics of the leaf surface play an important role in governing the success or failure of fungal growth on, and subsequently in, the leaf. The present paper deals with leaf surface mycoflora around the hospital area with special reference to Dr.Bhim Rao Ambedkar Memorial Hospital, Raipur Chhattisgarh was done by using leaf suspension on PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar) medium for the period of one year from July 2006 to June 2007. During the present study, total 46 fungal species (173 colonies) belonging to 22 genera were recorded. Class wise percentage contribution were recorded and showed that, Anamorphic fungi contributed maximum (96.53%) followed by Zygomycotina (2.87%) and Ascomycotina (0.58%). Season wise total percentage contribution of leaf surface mycoflora were also recorded and showed that maximum contribution were observed in winter season (48.55 %), moderate (30.64%) in rainy season and minimum (20.81%) in summer season. Similarly, maximum contribution were found in the month of November (24.86%) and minimum contribution were observed during the month of June (3.47%). It is also shows that fungal species i.e. Cladosporium sphaerospermum (12.13%), C. Cladosporioides (8.09%), Alternaria alternata (7.51%), Aspergillus niger and Curvularia lunata (5.75%), Phoma fimeti (4.62%) and Aspergillus flavus (4.04%) were most contributed leaf surface mycoflora. It is also observed that, Cladosporium sphaerospermum (23.80%) and C. Cladosporioides (10.71%) were most dominated in winter season, while Alternaria alternata and Aspergillus niger (13.20%) were dominated in rainy season. The presence of these fungi supports the idea that the air spora constitutes the source of many fungi that can potentially colonize the leaf surface.

Authors: Sharma Samiksha
Published: June 2023

One of the most serious issues in the nation is heavy metal toxicity. It severely affects both plant and animal kingdom as well as disrupts the soil ecosystem. The consequence of heavy metal toxicity is the generation of osmotic and oxidative stress, membrane dysfunctioning, metabolic imbalances and cellular toxicity. To combat the prevailing issue, seeking eco-friendly ways to enhance and stimulate plant tolerance against stress, is the vital step. Hence, the application of biostimulants can be the best and effective alternative. Biostimulant is a non nutrient preparation of microorganism and/ or substances which enhance the crop quality enrich nutrient uptake efficiency and show tolerance against abiotic stresses. The super dynamic substances utilized in such arrangements are humic and fulvic acids, compounds containing nitrogen, protein hydrolysates, silicon, melatonin, seaweed extracts, and valuable microorganisms. The review briefly articulates the definition of biostimulants, its various types as well as its role towards reducing the heavy metal toxicity. Apart from these, the review also takes in consideration the ameliorating effects of silicon against heavy metal toxicity. Hence, biostimulants play an important role as reactive oxygen scavengers, stimulate antioxidant system of the plant, and induce gene expression of stress responsive gene thereby fostering plant tolerance to heavy metal toxicity.

Background and Purpose of the study: Pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with COPD is well established and widely accepted as a means to alleviate symptoms and optimize functional status, increase participation, and reduce health care costs by stabilizing or reversing systemic manifestations of the disease. It is a form of rehabilitation dealing with respiratory disorders and limited participation in daily life. Pulmonary rehabilitation includes patient education, exercise training, psychosocial support and advice on nutrition. Pulmonary rehabilitation has been shown to improve exercise capacity, reduce breathlessness, improve health-related quality of life, and decrease healthcare utilization. Pulmonary rehabilitation should be offered to all patients who consider themselves functionally disabled by COPD4. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often decrease their physical activity because exercise can worsen dyspnea. The progressive deconditioning associated with inactivity initiates a vicious cycle, with dyspnea becoming problematic at ever lower physical demands. Pulmonary rehabilitation aims to break the cycle. Objectives: 1) To assess the level of knowledge regarding pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD patients among nursing students. 2) To find out the effectiveness of planned teaching programme regarding pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD patients among nursing students. 3) To find out the association between the pre-test knowledge regarding pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD patients with selected socio demographic variables. Approach: Evaluative approach was selected for the study. Design: Quasi-experimental (one group pretest and posttest) was selected for the study. Subjects: 50 nursing students. Sampling Technique: A purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample for study. Data Collection Tool: A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the subjects.
