Authors: Kabuitu Lawrence , Njoroge Joseph , Agufana Peace
Published: October 2022

Demographic and travel characteristics are significant in forming the basis for market segmentation, positioning, and branding initiatives for a destination. This study sought to examine demographic and travel characteristics exhibited by domestic tourists and their effects on purchase decisions and travel choices. The study adopted both quantitative and qualitative research approaches. A simple random sampling technique was used to select domestic tourists, while data was collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and Chi-square techniques. Four hundred questionnaires were distributed, out of which 371 were returned, representing a 73.3% rate. The findings indicated that the duration of the current visit is dependent on annual income (????2 = 23.055, p = 0.027), the number of times visited is dependent on age (????2 = 30.579, p = 0.015), while travel arrangement is dependent on age (????2 = 9.986, p = 0.041). The mode of transport depends on age (????2 = 52.645, p = 0.012), and  on education (????2 = 44.734, p = 0.006). The study recommends focusing on identifying and prioritising preferred local destinations and attractions for the domestic tourist market depending on demographic and travel characteristics to increase travel propensity for the sustainability of the industry.

Published: October 2022

Often people deny the emptiness of their life by uploading a lot of photos or videos that show a sense of happiness in their lives. But it turns out that many have deep sorrow or sadness. This is what ultimately makes human life empty and meaningless. The meaning of life is the human meaning of everything that happens to him. This meaning can be obtained with the depth of the spirituality of humans. Spirituality is belief in relation to the Almighty and also the Creator, for example someone who believes in Allah as the Creator or as the Almighty. Spiritual means the relationship between humans and their God by using mediums such as prayer, fasting, zakat, hajj, prayer, sholawat, and so on. One of the religious and cultural figures with a large number of congregations is Emha Ainun Najib or who is familiarly called Cak Nun. This interfaith figure has traveled to various corners of Indonesia, even abroad. Cak Nun's thoughts have been written in various media. Some have even been recorded, including Democracy La Roiba Fih, Homeless in His Own Village, God Is Fasting, and many others. His writings are the fruit of reflections about himself and his country. The opinions taken are also opinions that are relevant to the life of the lower class. Not grandiose, down to earth and can be accepted by all circles.

Published: October 2022

Mediation as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is seen as a humanist and fair dispute resolution method. Humanist because the decision-making mechanism (peace agreement) becomes the authority of the disputing parties and maintains good relations. It is fair because each party negotiates a solution to the problem and the output is a win-win solution. Therefore, litigation dispute resolution began to be abandoned and people turned to mediation. Through Supreme Court Regulation (PerMA) No. 1 of 2008, mediation has been integrated into the court system. Every civil case must be resolved first through mediation. Every judge's decision that does not go through mediation first, then the decision is considered null and void. This paper discusses the effectiveness of mediation in the settlement of divorce cases at the Tuban Regency Religious Court, because divorce cases are cases that occupy the highest ranking in the Religious Courts. The focus of the study is the implementation of mediation in divorce cases, the effectiveness of Tuban mediation, what are the obstacles in the implementation of mediation in divorce cases at the Tuban Religious Court.

Indonesia sebagai sebuah Negara pastilah memiliki keragaman baik pada sisi  sosial, masyarakat, suku, ras, agama dan budaya. Keanekaragaman yang hadir di bumi Nusantara bukanlah hal yang aneh. Sejarah telah mencatat, pondasi peradaban sudah terbentuk dengan begitu indahnya oleh nenek moyang kita.  Begitu juga halnya, ketika Islam sebagai sebuah teologi baru yang dibawa oleh para pendakwah atau yang kita kenal dengan sebutan Wali, mulai menapakkan jejak tradisi dan kebudayaan. Kehadiran teologi baru yakni Islam menambah khazanah kebudayaan yang disandingkan dengan tradisi dan kebudayaan masyarakat lokal. Pertemuan budaya inilah melahirkan nilai-nilai keadaban dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan terutama pada nilai-nilai pendidikan budaya. Warisan kebudayaan yang ditinggalkan oleh para Wali dengan mengedepankan nilai-nilai penghormatan pada perbedaan (tasammuh) menjadi inti kuatnya ikatan antar anak bangsa dalam menyikapi perbedaan. Bertemunya unsur kebudayaan lama dan kebudayaan baru  yang saling mengisi, merupakan contah nyata dalam menyikapi pluralisme budaya yang hadir di tengah-tengah kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara. Nilai-nilai pendidikan kebudayaan yang sudah diukir dalam catatan sejarah leluhur bangsa ini, seyogyanyalah tetap dipertahankan dan bahkan dikembangan dalam sebuah institusi pendidikan yang berorientasikan pada penyelamatan dan pengimplementasian nilai-nilai luhur keragaman budaya.

Abstract

Indonesia as a country must have diversity in terms of social, community, ethnicity, race, religion and culture. The diversity that is present in the archipelago is not a strange thing. History has recorded, the foundation of civilization has been formed so beautifully by our ancestors. Likewise, when Islam as a new theology brought by the preachers or what we know as Wali, began to tread traces of tradition and culture. The presence of a new theology, namely Islam, adds to the cultural treasures that are juxtaposed with the traditions and culture of the local community. This cultural meeting gave birth to the values ​​of civilization in various aspects of life, especially in the values ​​of cultural education. The cultural heritage left by the Guardians by prioritizing the values ​​of respect for differences (tasammuh) is the core of the strong bond between the nation's children in responding to differences. The meeting of elements of old culture and new culture that complement each other is a real example in responding to cultural pluralism that is present in the midst of national and state life. The values ​​of cultural education that have been engraved in the historical records of this nation's ancestors should be maintained and even developed in an educational institution that is oriented towards saving and implementing the noble values ​​of cultural diversity.

A Dual-transformer DC–DC with Variable frequency modulation Technique
Authors: Rajalakshmi P.
Published: October 2022

For renewable power production systems to use less energy overall, power converters with improved efficiency over a wider load range are crucial. We introduce an unique dual-transformer DC-DC converter with many resonant components. With the right choice of resonance parameters, the converter can achieve a broad DC voltage gain range thanks to several resonance features. More resonance frequencies are included in the proposed converter as well, which will allow the load to receive more of the tertiary active power. Diodes achieve soft-switching or quasi-soft-switching during both the on and off periods, and all power switches are capable of on-soft switching. The proposed and analysis of variable frequency modulation (VFM) are achieved. By providing soft switching throughout the whole load range, the suggested modulation approach can lower switching losses. Additionally, the center-tapped bridge implementation of the synchronous rectifier further reduces conduction losses while the proposed modulation technique ensures soft switching of all devices. We installed a 500W prototype in the laboratory to confirm the theoretical analysis. According to the findings of the experiments, the suggested converter can maintain a relatively high efficiency (95%) throughout a wide load range. Starting with 300W, the highest efficiency is 95.4%.

Published: October 2022

In graphic design the visualization instinct is particularly relevant but limited before complexity. The manipulation of representations helps the process in the absence of stimulus, the processing is assisted in a dialectic nurtured by the sensory experience of the world. The image is important in analysis and synthesis, and memory is an essential learning process support. Our discussion about design cognition involves phenomenology, all senses experience in the analytical process. The production of meaning is done without loss of significance when knowledge about reality is obtained by research through making, revealing conditions for facing the question of objectivity in design.

Lithium is a mood stabilizer widely used in the pharmacotherapy of bipolar disorder and treatment‑resistant depression. Taking
into account dysregulated inflammatory activity in depression and the immunomodulatory role of lithium, we hypothesized
that genes associated with inflammatory responses may be potential biomarkers of lithium action. We aimed to compare gene
expression changes between the brain and the periphery after chronic lithium administration in an animal model of depression.
Depressive behavior was induced by chronic mild stress protocol for 4 weeks. After 2 weeks, rats started to receive lithium
(study group) or water (reference group). The control group were rats not exposed to stress. Amygdala, hippocampus, frontal
cortex and peripheral blood were analyzed using whole transcriptome expression microarrays. Changes were confirmed with
qPCR and ELISA assay. After 2 weeks of lithium administration, we observed significant changes in gene expression between
amygdala and peripheral blood. Logistic regression analysis determined Alox15 expression as a predictor of lithium status,
as its expression was tissue‑specific and increased in amygdala and decreased in blood. Analysis of serum ALOX15 protein
revealed its upregulation after two‑week lithium administration. Our study suggests that lithium may have therapeutic potential
in depressive behaviors. These results indicate immunomodulatory effect of lithium and that Alox15 may be a new potential
marker of chronic lithium treatment.

The Race of Life… and the Lessons We Learn – an open letter
Authors: Nazmeen Benash
Published: October 2022

How do I put into words things that I have failed to address for years? Let me set the background. I’m a first-generation immigrant. English is not my first language. I struggle differentiating ‘v and ‘w’ sounds, and I slow down what I’m saying to ensure I get this process and get it right – you see, only one of these sounds exists in my mother tongue. Often I am left lost with colloquialisms. Once I asked a doctor ‘if I could scratch his brain’ rather than ‘pick’ it. I laugh when it’s mentioned but internally I’m mortified – too embarrassed to converse with him after this incident. I told another midwife and she then said she has done this a lot and that ‘it’s no biggie’, not realising the cultural insecurities and vulnerabilities this incident triggered for me when she simply laughed it off.
How are you, Dad? In the Labour Ward
Authors: Hanley Dr Jane , Williams Mark
Published: October 2022

For centuries fathers were banned or discouraged from being involved in the delivery of their baby. The 20th century brought a sea change, where parents demanded that men have a greater role, and recognition of the supportive measures the father could add to the labouring mother and their infant. It is now commonplace for both parents to be in the labour ward. However, there are often unseen consequences of fathers having traumatic experiences. They observe the woman they care for, in anguish, and feel impotent to help, causing conflict in their protective role and as a result, their mental health. This article draws upon the authors’ professional experiences working within perinatal mental health, using examples from their work to highlight the issues they present.
Racism Matters: ‘When People Show You Who They Are, Believe Them’: Why black women mistrust maternity services
Authors: Horn Anna
Published: October 2022

In the UK, Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) women are more likely to die during pregnancy and after childbirth compared with white women. A recent spotlight on ethnic disparities in maternal deaths has rendered a much-needed discussion on maternal health outcomes and experiences of maternity care for BAME women. The increased risk of death is unexplained by researchers, healthcare professionals and public health officials. This article, the first in the new series ‘Racism matters’ seeks to unpack these issues to challenge, educate, and to drive improvements in maternity care. Here, Anna Horn, a Black American woman, UK maternity service user and equity advocate offers insight into a deeper, systematic and historical precedent of racism and injustice as underlying contributor to health inequalities.
Inequalities AND Unreasonable Adjustments: Are D/deaf women being given a detrimental care pathway in the name of risk assessment?
Authors: Crowe Rachel
Published: October 2022

In the UK, pregnant women who are hearing impaired or D/deaf (sign language users) and deaf (who are hard of hearing but who have English as their first language and may lipread and/or use hearing aids) are often labelled as high risk and offered a care pathway that is unsuitable and detrimental to their care. Identifying the gaps in maternity that exist in current guidelines and practice can help midwives to ensure women get appropriate, high-quality woman-centred care. This article provides an overview to the needs of D/deaf birthing people with a number of recommendations and tools for use in clinical practice.
Formal Management of Tourist Organisations in the Białystok Province (Voivodship) During the Period of Consolidating Communist Power in Poland Between the Years 1946-1952/1953
Authors: Rutkowski Marek
Published: October 2022

Purpose. The aim of the article is to show the development of trends at tourist organisations operating in the Białystok Province (Voivodship) during the period from 1946 to 1952/53, i.e. in the period of consolidating and stabilising Communist government in Poland.

Method. The applied research method is mainly based on the analysis of archival source materials.

Findings. The main problem of tourist organisations operating during the period from 1946 to 1952/53 in the Białystok Region was the lack of professional and properly trained staff. Despite these shortcomings, the following could be observed: a) the rapid self-organisation of the Polish Tourist Society (Polskie Towarzystwo Krajoznawcze – PTK) in 1946, and b) an increase in the quality of the proposed solutions in the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society (Polskie Towarzystwo Turystyczno Krajoznawcze – PTTK) in 1952.

Research and conclusions limitations. A significant limitation of the research was the rather fragmentary nature of the surviving archival material as a basis for investigation into the subject.

Practical implications. The conclusions of the study allow to suggest that emphasis should be given to the knowledge and organisational skills of tourist organisation members as necessary components of their further and proper development.

Originality. The text is fully original, and both the descriptive and inference-generalising parts have never been presented before.

Type of paper. Article presenting the results of archival survey.

The study was carried out at the experimental orchard of Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi (2019-20) to evaluate the pre-harvest effect of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on postharvest quality of Kinnow mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) under low temperature storage. Fruits were sprayed on tree with four concentrations of MeJA (0.1 mM, 0.3 mM, 0.5 mM, 0.7 mM) and control (distilled water) at 40 days and 20 days before commercial harvesting. The harvested fruits were stored consecutively at 2oC for 20 days followed by at 6oC for 20 days with 85-95% relative humidity. All the treatments showed significant results than control, but fruits treated with 0.5 mM MeJA retained higher moisture content (least water loss) and firmness with increase in TSS, acidity, total phenols, ascorbic acid, antioxidant and peroxidase enzyme activity during the storage period of 40 days. Therefore, pre-harvest spray @ 0.5mM MeJA could be an effective alternative to synthetic chemical use in maintaining the quality of Kinnow mandarin fruits during low temperature storage.

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2018-19 at Organic Unit of Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology, Udaipur, Rajasthan. The experiment consisting of six soil applications in main plots (0, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 kg/ha) and six foliar applications of active silica in sub plots (no spray, water spray, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0%) was carried out in split-plot design with three replications. Results indicated that significantly higher number of rows/cob, number of grains/row, test weight, grain, stover and biological yield was recorded with 150 kg/ha active silica application. Similarly, higher protein content in grain, Si content and uptake by plant at 60, 75 DAS and harvest, and N, P and K content and uptake in grain as well in stover was recorded at 150 kg/ha active silica application. Among foliar application, the spray of 1.0% active silica significantly enhanced the yield attributes, yield, protein content in grain, Si content and uptake by plant at 60, 75 DAS and harvest; and N, P and K content and uptake in grain as well in stover in maize (Zea mays L.) under organic production system.

The experiment was conducted during rabi 2014-15 and 2015-16 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana (India) to optimize planting geometry (50 cm × 15 cm, 65 cm × 11.5 cm, 70 cm × 10.7 cm and 75 cm × 10 cm) and seed tuber size (25-35 mm, 35-45 mm, 45-55 mm) for higher seed-grade and total tuber yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Planting geometry didn't significantly influence the growth and productivity of potato. However, the effect of seed tuber size was significant as large (45-55 mm) and medium (35-45 mm) sized tubers produced higher yield (8.3 and 7.4 t/ha, respectively) of small sized (<35 mm) and medium sized (35-45 mm) (17.3 and 16.6 t/ha, respectively) tubers and the total tuber yield (42.9 and 42.6 t/ha, respectively). In contrast, the highest yield of large sized tubers (>45 mm) (20.2 t/ha) was obtained with small sized seed tubers. The highest net returns (â‚¹ 381.11 thousand/ha) were obtained with medium sized seed tubers as compared to small and large sized seed tubers. Therefore, medium sized seed tubers (35-45 mm) should be used for higher seed-grade and total potato tuber yield as well as better economic returns, irrespective of the planting geometry, under Punjab conditions.

Target yield equation-based integrated nutrient management studies were conducted to examine its importance in attaining target yields, improving soil nutrient status, and nutrient utilization in rice (Oryza sativa L.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping sequence. The study was carried out for three years in the rice-wheat cropping system. The nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) requirement for attaining target yield of 7.5 t/ha for rice and 5 t/ha of wheat were estimated following soil test crop response-based target yield equations (TYE). The treatments consist of differential fertilization as the chemical source and farmyard manure (FYM) as the organic source. Results indicated that 97.2% of the target in rice and 94% in wheat, with negligible deviance from the quantified target yield, were achieved. Integrated nutrient management (INM) produced a significantly higher yield of rice (7.29 t/ha) and wheat (4.70 t/ha) when 100% INM was compensated with 75% fertilizer NPK and 25% organic N. The system productivity of 12.4 t/ha was the highest based on rice and rice equivalent yield of wheat in 100% INM. Likewise, nutrient uptake and nutrient productivity were also higher in crops with 100% INM. Moreover, the improved nutrient status and soil nutrient balance were more prominent with 100% INM. Therefore, the results demonstrated the beneficial effects of TYE-INM in the rice-wheat cropping system to obtain higher grain yields while maintaining soil health.

The discovery of the CRISPR/Cas microbial adaptive immune system and its ongoing development as a genome editing tool represents the work of many scientists around the world. The time line of CRISPR/Cas system shows that this technology is improving continuously to remove the demerits of preceding one with the aim of development of highly efficient, specific with low off target effect and ultimately transgene free technology in light of ethical and environmental issues related with transgenic technology. Initially, CRISPR/Cas9 was developed as method of choice as it provides targeted mutagenesis under in vivo condition and all the homeoalleles of a gene can be targeted in same plant, especially in case of polyploid species efficiently which is difficult through other existing technology. No residual or foreign gene insertion is required and modification is permanent. Now, CRISPR/Cpf1 has been developed as more potent, efficient and simpler than CRISPR/Cas9. Different forms of Cas enzymes provide new avenues for regulation of genomic component. In view of the present devastating COVID-19 disaster the scientists used this novel technology for detection of virus in humans at an early stage of infection thus saving human lives. The evolution of CRISPR/Cas technology, their advantages, apprehensions and solution, experimental design and updates of this technology is discussed in the present review.

Among the vegetable crops, onion and potato prices are more unstable due to seasonality of production, perishable nature, production uncertainty etc. Lack of information on potential market as well as arrival and price behaviour of onion and potato further worsen this situation of its growers. Since market integration helps in achieving price consistency and thus lead to marketing system efficiency, the present study explores market integration and price transmission during the period March 2009 to March 2019 across the wholesale markets using Johansen's cointegration test and Granger Causality test. In this study to test the stationarity of the price series, Augmented Dickey Fuller test and Phillips-Perron test was used. The outcomes of the study strongly supported the presence of co-integration and interdependence of the selected markets from the result of Johansen cointegration test and Granger causality test revealed the presence of bidirectional relationship among most of the markets but also there exists unidirectional relationship among few markets.

An experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. Main and sub plots consisted of drip irrigation [I1- at 80% of cumulative pan evaporation (CPE) during 1-270 days after planting (DAP), I2-at 100% of CPE during 1-90 DAP + at 80% of CPE during 91-270 DAP and I3-at 100% of CPE during 1-270 DAP] and fertigation (F1-N-P2O5-K2O 100-90-100 kg/ha, F2-N-P2O5-K2O 120-90-120 kg/ha, F3-N-P2O5-K2O 140-90-140 kg/ha and F4- N-P2O5-K2O 160-90-160 kg/ha) treatments respectively. The drip irrigation treatments I1(F2) and I2(F2) saved 17.3% (690 m3/ha) and 7.8% (310 m3/ha) irrigated water over surface flood irrigation at same level of fertilizer application (N-P2O5-K2O 120-90-120 kg/ha) (check). Electricity consumption saved 104 (17.4%) and 47 (7.9%) kWh/ha by adopting drip irrigation levels I1(F2) and I2(F2), respectively over check. The system productivity with the application of N-P2O5-K2O 100-90-100 kg/ha (F1) along with drip irrigation at I2 was comparable with check which indicated a net saving of N-K2O 20-20 kg/ha. The net income from drip irrigated greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.) + maize (Zea mays L.) under I1(F2) and I2(F2) was about 9 100 and 62 100 ₹/ha higher than the crop cultivated with surface flood irrigation (check), respectively. Greater system productivity in the treatments I2F4 (31.8%) and I2F3 (29.9%) over check indicated fertilizer responsiveness under drip fertigation. Considering environmental and economical impact, the partial deficit drip irrigation and fertigation treatment I2F3 could be the best for greater yam+maize intercropping system.
