Authors: Mondal (Ghosh) Shanowly , Sardar Bibek Singh , Gope Amit , Mandi Niranjan , Chakraborty Gautam
Published: February 2024

An experiment was conducted for the investigations on screening on different local tomato varieties against RKN, Meloidogyne incognita under net house conditions during the year 2021-22. Out of thirty-five varieties only four (Abhimanyu, HY- Rocky, HY- 1276 and HY-Red Boar) were found to be moderately resistant to the nematode having root gall index between 2.1 to 3.0. Twenty-one varieties were found to be susceptible having root gall index between 3.1 to 4.0, but the remaining varieties were quite vulnerable to the nematode having root gall index between 4.1 to 5.0. Additionally, it was discovered that, in comparison to the other tomato types, Amlan and HY-3682 (Special) had the most gall infestation. All the varieties showed significant differences in their responses or reactions to root-knot nematodes from moderately resistant to vulnerable.

Authors: Sen Sourav , Patel Lakshman Chandra
Published: February 2024

The current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of three distinct levels of concentration of Betacyfluthrin 90 g l-1 + Imidacloprid 210 g l-1 OD (Solomon) (45 g a.i. ha-1, 60 g a.i. ha-1 and 75 g a.i. ha-1) during kharif 2020 and 2021 against major plant hoppers of rice. White backed plant hopper (Sogatella furcifera) and Brown plant hopper (Nilaparvata lugens) were found as major plant hoppers on rice field. Solomon @ 75 g a.i. ha-1 was recorded significantly efficient against BPH and WBPH in both crop seasons (kharif 2020 and kharif 2021) with highest reduction over control (80.42% & 76.22% and 79.65% & 83.54%, respectively). A noticeably increased yield of rice grains was observed in case of Solomon @ 75 g a.i. ha-1 treatment than in control plot in kharif 2020 (73.78 q ha-1) and kharif 2021 (68.03 q ha-1). Although the natural enemy population in the plots that were treated with Solomon @ 10-30 g a.i. ha-1 had no significant negative impact than the untreated control and other treated plots.

Authors: V Gunapalasingam , R Suresh
Published: February 2024

Tamil devotional literature which was prevalent in Tamil Nadu during the Devar period was heavily influenced by Sanskrit literature. On this basis, it is known that many ancient historical incidents have been mentioned in the songs of Devaram. Birth of Gods, the manner in which their relationship is taught, the historical events of the gods, and their heroic deeds can be seen in the devaram. This article explains about the daughter of Umai Malaiyarasan, God Murugan Sivashakti, the story of Brahma and Vishnu searching for a foothold, the story of Vishnu's, the attributes of Shiva bearing Umadevi and Vishnu with half of his body and about the belief in the worship of natural objects such as the moon, Ganges, and Navagraha. It is worth noting that mythological information about the characteristics of minor deities, Indra, Varuna, Agni, Atatiku Balakas, etc., etc., are scattered throughout the Devaram. The purpose of this article is to explore all these in detail.

El artículo hace un repaso de las diferentes propuestas que dentro del ámbito de la sociología (o cercanos) tomanelementos de o se han inspirado en el análisis de redes sociales para realizar el análisis de textos y/o discursos.A pesar de que la concepción relacionista tiene ya una cierta tradición en el análisis del discurso, no hasido más que a partir de la década de los ochenta que se han desarrollado propuestas que, con mayor o menorintensidad, aplican la idea y el instrumental de redes sociales al análisis de textos. No obstante, muchaspropuestas no superan los problemas que llevan asociados los análisis de carácter atributivo y/o categorial.Sólo algunos procedimientos llegan a utilizar la aproximación reticular como forma de preservar la articulacióny, con ello, la estructura semántica y sintáctica del texto. Al panorama de las escasas propuestas existentesque siguen esta orientación, el artículo incorpora los procedimientos (denominados análisis reticular del discurso)que los autores vienen desarrollado sobre dicha perspectiva y que insisten además, particularmente,en el trabajo de interpretación y con-textualización del discurso.
Relación social y teoría de las formas en Michel Maffesoli

La sociología de Michel Maffesoli se ocupa principalmente de las potencialidades polimórficas de los singularesindividuos. Su teoría «postmoderna», centrada en el tránsito del homo politicus-oeconomicus al homoaestheticus, representa la exaltación de nuestros sentimientos individuales, de nuestras emociones, de nuestrosdeseos para reconstruir pequeñas tribus comunitarias en una sociedad que solamente trata de imponersus cánones funcionales.

El momento ethnográfico
Authors: Pablo Santoro
Published: February 2024

La relación problemática que se debe establecer entre las teorías y modelos de la sociología científica y aquellasque comparten los actores sociales, y que Giddens denomina «conocimiento mutuo», ha preocupado tradicionalmentea las ciencias sociales. Este trabajo se aproxima a las cuestiones suscitadas por ese conflictode representaciones de la sociedad a través de la comparación entre dos perspectivas teóricas fuertementeinfluenciadas por el giro hermenéutico de la teoría social. A partir de la evaluación que Anthony Giddens realizade los aciertos y errores de la etnometodología se expondrán algunas de las ideas que la teoría de la estructuraciónplantea respecto del papel del conocimiento que los individuos comparten sobre la realidad social.Por último, después de exponer ciertas críticas al programa de Giddens, se propone la utilización deltérmino «etnosociología» como forma de plasmar esta doble hermenéutica.

La participación de los trabajadores en la calidad total
Authors: Lahera Sánchez Arturo
Published: February 2024

Las ciencias sociales del trabajo han desarrollado en la última década un amplio debate académico y empresarialsobre la posible emergencia de nuevos modelos industriales en las empresas, centrados en la implantaciónde culturas organizativas o empresariales supuestamente rupturistas con las tradicionales prácticas tayloristasde organización del trabajo. Entre estas transformaciones destaca la apuesta gerencial por estableceruna gestión participativa de los recursos humanos (empowerment) que permita, por un lado, aprovechar losconocimientos empíricos de los trabajadores en la mejora y perfeccionamiento de los procesos de fabricacióny, por otro lado, garantizar su mayor implicación en la consecución de los objetivos empresariales, mediante eldiseño de una nueva «cultura organizativa de la calidad». Esta participación, centrada en la autonomía en elpuesto de trabajo, es la base sobre la que se está construyendo una nueva estrategia competitiva basada enpolíticas de aseguramiento de la calidad de la producción, las cuales están provocando transformaciones enlos dispositivos de organización y de inspección gerencial del trabajo. Sin embargo, el resultado efectivo deesta consecución de la calidad ha supuesto el diseño e implantación de nuevas prácticas tayloristas y de unavigilancia incrementada sobre la actuación de los trabajadores, con lo que la definición gerencial de la participaciónha modelado, y limitado, ésta como un dispositivo de expropiación de los conocimientos y experienciade aquéllos, al tiempo que ha supuesto la construcción de una nueva disciplina y sistema de control detalladode su rendimiento productivo y de intensificación de su actividad, tal y como ejemplifican los contenidos realesde las políticas de reestructuración productiva y organizativa realizadas en empresas fabricantes de máquinas-herramienta de Euskadi durante la segunda mitad de la década de los años noventa (1994-2000).

Receptividad y extremismo nacionalista en el País Vasco (1977-2007) una evaluación multivariante
Authors: Martínez-Herrera Enric
Published: February 2024

El extremismo nacionalista en el País Vasco, cuya principal manifestación es el terrorismo de ETA, ha sido objeto de un amplio abanico de políticas públicas, tanto ordinarias como constitucionales. Junto a distintas formas y grados de represión, éstas comprenden una reestructuración substancial del Estado y una amplia reasignación de los recursos públicos, derivados de una aproximación receptiva (responsive) a la resolución de conflictos. Mediante un diseño multivariante, este estudio evalúa los resultados de las principales políticas receptivas implementadas. En particular, el análisis demuestra que el establecimiento de instituciones de autogobierno vascas ha mitigado de modo notable el extremismo político, tanto en lo que se refiere a las actitudes de la población como al terrorismo.

Mother's participation in posyandu is one of the efforts to monitor the nutritional status of children under five. However, there are still mothers who do not use health facilities for their toddlers. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of participation of mothers in Posyandu and the nutritional status of children under five. The research method with retrospective cohort approach. The population in this study were 422 mothers with a study sample of 215 mothers. Random sampling technique. The Instrument of Nutritional Status of Children Based on Index was used in this study. Univariate and bivariate analysis of Kendall's tau_b is the analysis of the data used. The results of this study showed that the participation of active mothers to posyandu amounted to 172 people (80%) and inactive as many as 23 people (13%). The nutritional status of toddlers in Sindangkasih Village is mostly in the category of nutritional status at risk of nutrition of more than 129 toddlers (60%), good nutrition of 38 toddlers (17.7%), poor nutrition of 38 toddlers (17.7%), malnutrition of 7 toddlers (3%), nutrition of more than 2 toddlers (0.9%), and obesity of 1 toddler (0.5%). There was no relationship between maternal participation rates and the nutritional status of toddlers and gis. 0.310 > 0.05. The conclusion of the study was that there was no relationship between maternal participation and the nutritional status of toddlers with p = 0.310 > 0.05. This can be caused by a lack of knowledge and attitudes of mothers towards the nutritional status of toddlers. Community Health Centers can conduct outreach and counseling to cadres and mothers who use health services to detect nutritional problems, including malnutrition, as early as possible.

In addition to examine those pathogens bacteriologically. The sensitivity of the isolates to (13) antibiotics was tested, and the bacterial isolates showed a variation in the rates of their resistance to these antibiotics. The results showed that the antibiotic Imipenem had the most effect on the bacterial isolates under study, while the bacterial isolates showed high resistance to the rest of the antibiotics. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for 3 antibiotics, namely, Gentamycin, Amikacin and Amoxicillin. These values for the antibiotics ranged between <4-1024, <4-1024 <<512-1024) mcg/ml, respectively. The Ethanolic Extract of Eucalyptus Exhibit highest antibacterial effect on S.areus on (o.62 g/1.5 ml and 0.31g/750ml). Lower respectively antibacterial effect on Proteus and Pseudomonas but no antibacterial effect against Klebsiella. Bacterial isolates were selected on the basis of their most frequent urinary tract infections and their resistance to the effect of antibiotics (K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus). The amount of the mixed effect was determined by mixing Eucalyptus with three antibiotics, namely Amikacin and Gentamycin Amoxicillin. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the isolates under study was compared before and after mixing the antibiotics. The effect of mixing was a synergistic effect for all bacterial isolates. On the other hand, the synergistic effect was clear on the gram-positive isolates of S. aureus between eucalyptus and beta-lactams (and Amoxicillin).

On the study of molecular markers of the genus Picea in Russia and Belarus
Authors: Degtyareva Alina P.
Published: February 2024

Currently, degradation of spruce stands is observed in various regions of Russia, which is associated with the transformation of climatic and environmental conditions of the environment. To ensure effective reforestation and afforestation of spruce forests, it is necessary to study the features of the population-genetic structure of plantations in order to preserve the genetic resources of valuable forest-forming tree species. The purpose of this work is to review modern achievements in the study of molecular markers of the genus Picea in Russia and Belarus. To characterize the genetic diversity of spruce populations, 9 ISSR primers with a high level of polymorphism (86,6%) were selected: (GA)9T, (AC)8C, (CA)6RY, (CA)6RG, (CA)6(GT), (CA)6(AC), (AG)8T, (GA)8C and (AG)8YT. The analysis of the mh44 locus of mitochondrial DNA revealed 13 allelic variants and is suitable for studying the genetic diversity of intra- and inter-population genetic variability of spruce. Experimental work with the mitochondrial Nad1 gene has shown the possibility of its application for phylogeographic studies of spruce. The assessment of the genetic variability of microsatellite loci Pt63718, Pt26081, Pt71936 revealed 19 allelic variants and is also suitable for phylogeographic studies. These results are very valuable and can form the basis for studying and characterizing the genetic structure of spruce plantations.

Published: February 2024

During entomological monitoring, three species of sawflies were observed in the plantings of small-leaved elm Ulmus pumila Linnaeus (1753), rough U. glabra Hudson (1762) and smooth U. laevis Pallas (1784) in Voronezh. Slight overeating by the elm sawfly Cladius ulmi (Linnaeus, 1758) (Tenthredinidae) was found throughout the study area on three species of elms. Mines of the elm mining sawfly Fenusa ulmi Sundevall, 1847 (Tenthredinidae) were found only on the rough elm in the Northern district of the city. Isolated damage to the leaves of U. pumila by the zigzag sawfly Aproceros leucopoda Takeuchi, 1939 (Argidae) was noted in all districts of the city, U. glabra – only in two points of the Northern district. In early July 2023, a hearth with a high number of zigzag sawflies on U. pumila was discovered in the park of the Sovetsky district, in which 90% defoliation on U. pumila was recorded by early August. The flight of the imago of A. leucopoda on the territory of three parks and squares of the Sovetsky district was marked in the first decade of July. The female sawfly was caught on a city bus with the starting point of the route near the found hearth with a high number of sawflies, which confirms the transfer of the imago of the zigzag sawfly within the city by public transport.

Published: February 2024

This article is devoted to the problem of psychological safety of the individual in the educational environment. The characteristics of security, safety and trust in relations with teachers and peers were studied in the adolescent and youth group. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of some socio-psychological indicators of personal security in the educational environment in connection with the aggressiveness and level of depression of students. A continuous monitoring of the safety of the educational environment was carried out using the cross-sectional method through an electronic survey. Methods: A Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), a Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ-24), questionnaire. Sampling: 244,143 students of 6–11 grades of schools, colleges and universities of the Republic of Tatarstan; 52,7% of boys and 47,3% of girls; age from 12 to 23 years. The risk group included 860 people with a high total index of aggressiveness and depression (0,35% of the total sampling, 64% of them are boys). The study found that students at risk group are exposed to bullying in the educational environment more often than their peers. They describe relationships with peers and teachers as unsafe and note a lack of help and support. Aggressiveness and the level of depression have statistically significant correlations (p 0,001) with all manifestations of violence and insecurity and can serve as reliable and valid subjective markers of a person's psychological safety in the educational space. In this way, the socio-psychological indicators of psychological safety in the educational environment are the characteristics of relations between the subjects of educational interaction, personal experience of bullying, insecurity, lack of support, aggressiveness and the level of depression of students. The results of the study can be used to prevent deviant behavior among adolescents who are most vulnerable to negative social influences.

Tuberculosis, a contagious lung ailment, stands as a prominent global mortality factor. Its significant impact on public health in Nigeria necessitates comprehensive intervention strategies. Detecting, preventing, and treating this disease remains imperative. Chest X-ray (CXR) images hold a pivotal role among diagnostic tools. Recent strides in deep learning have notably improved medical image analysis. In this research, we harnessed publicly available and proprietary CXR image datasets to construct robust models. Leveraging pre-trained deep neural networks, we aimed to enhance tuberculosis detection. Impressively, our experimentation yielded remarkable outcomes. Notably, f1-scores of 98% and 86% were attained on the respective public and private datasets. These results underscore the potency of deep neural networks in effectively identifying tuberculosis from CXR images. The study emphasizes the promise of this technology in combating the disease's spread and impact.

Published: February 2024

This investigation delves into the pervasive issue of honour killings in Pakistan, examining its legal intricacies and proposing comprehensive reforms. Despite existing legal provisions within the Pakistan Penal Code, the implementation faces substantial challenges, including legal loopholes, societal pressures, and inadequate protection measures. Proposed reforms include enhancing legal clarity, fostering societal awareness through educational initiatives, implementing witness protection programs, expediting judicial processes, fostering collaboration with NGOs, and establishing counselling and support services. The proposed reforms collectively aim to create a nuanced and holistic strategy to combat honour-based violence. By addressing legal shortcomings, challenging ingrained cultural norms, ensuring protection, fostering collaboration, and providing compassionate support services, these measures strive to reshape Pakistan's societal landscape. The success of these reforms relies on the commitment of legal authorities, civil society, and the broader community to foster lasting change, ultimately creating a society where justice, equality, and human rights triumph over the tragic legacy of honour-based violence.

Authors:   University of Economics - Varna, Varna, Bulgaria, Pavlova Desislava
Published: February 2024

In scientific literature, various crisis management models are described, which have many common points and in a number of cases possess a general understanding about the crisis as a process that passes through separate phases. At the same time, these models emphasize to a greater extent some of the stages of this process while neglecting others. Successful crises management requires sufficient and balanced attention of the management of each organization both on the stage of arising and unfolding of the crisis, as well as on prevention. The purpose of the article is, based on a comparison between crisis management models better known in the scientific literature, to propose an author's model based on the understanding of the life cycle of crisis phenomena and allowing its effective application in conditions of limited resources.

Goods Flow Chains Transformation in The European Commercial Sector
Authors:   University of Economics – Varna, Varna, Bulgaria, Stojanov Michal
Published: February 2024

In this work, an assessment and analysis of the goods flow chain ratio is used to estimate structural change in the trade sector of the EU-27. For the purposes of the quantitative research, official Eurostat secondary data statistics of for the period 2005-2020 are used. The general trend formed throughout the EU to reduce intermediaries is not reproduced in the same way across countries and is sometimes characterized by unpredictable variation. This leads to the conclusion that middlemen are important for the distribution of products in the open market system. Therefore, the downsizing in goods flow chain intermediaries can be linked to the processes of digitization, globalization, the search for sustainable and socially and environmentally responsible business development.
The Personalization in Modern Retailing
Authors:   University of Economics - Varna, Varna, Bulgaria, Peteva Violeta
Published: February 2024

In today's conditions, the retail industry is undergoing significant transformations. They are dictated by the need for the business to respond to the dynamically changing needs and expectations of the market. Personalization, which is based on the idea of a personal relationship with consumers, is not at all a new concept for business. But, in the current third decade of the 21st century, the concept of personalization has risen to a whole new level. What is new is the mechanism of its implementation in modern retailing, in an electronic and omnichannel environment. Personalization is becoming an essential component of modern marketing and retailing, a key element of business strategy and a sustainable competitive advantage.

The effectiveness of various molecules, including spinetoram 11.7 sc and flupyradifurone 200 sl, along with chemical checks like emamectin benzoate 5 sg and deltamethrin 2.8 ec, was investigated for controlling bruchid infestation and preserving seed quality during ambient storage at University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka (2021–22). After 9 months, spinetoram 11.7 sc at 25.6 mg/kg seeds (T3) demonstrated outstanding results compared to the control (T9). Treatment T3 exhibited the highest 100-seed weight (5.28 g), lowest seed moisture (9.64%), and the highest germination rate (82%). Additionally, treatment T3 showed maximum shoot length, root length, mean seedling length, and mean seedling dry weight. The electrical conductivity (EC) of seed leachate was significantly lower in T3 (834 µS/cm) treatment, highlighting its superiority. Spinetoram 11.7 sc also excelled in dehydrogenase activity, protein content and total soluble sugars, indicating its positive impact on seed quality. Bruchid infestation significantly reduced in treatment T3 (1.42%), while untreated seeds exhibited the highest seed damage (16.50%). Teatment T3 recorded the fewest live and dead bruchids per 400 seeds, as well as the lowest seed infection. Compared to other treatments, spinetoram 11.7 sc at 25.6 mg/kg seeds emerged as the most effective in controlling bruchids and maintaining superior seed quality, as reflected in its highest B:C ratio. Overall, this research suggests that spinetoram can be a highly effective solution for bruchid control and seed quality preservation in blackgram during storage.

An experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2019 and 2020 at the research farm of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agriculture University, Hisar, Haryana to study the relationship between morphological, biochemical and fibre quality parameters in 150 desi cotton [Gossypium arboreum (L.)] genotypes in augmented design. Findings of the experiment indicated that the seed cotton yield per plant was significantly and positively correlated with all the traits except days to first flower (-0.226) and plant height (-0.521), while, negatively correlated with biochemical and fibre quality traits. Thus, while improving other traits, seed cotton yield per plant will also increase. Fibre quality traits like fibre length was significant and positively (0.754) correlated with fibre strength but negatively correlated with seed cotton, suggesting quality and quantity can not be improved simultaneously. Hence selection should be done very precisely that as one can not be compromised. Path analysis also revealed that the maximum contribution towards yield was by the number of bolls per plant (0.57), boll weight (0.33), GOT (0.11) and the number of monopods (0.10). Fibre quality parameters did not show any significant contribution directly or indirectly to seed cotton yield. The five traits, viz. number of bolls per plant, number of monopods, ginning outturn (%), seed index (g) and number of seed per boll can contribute to the improvement in cotton. Overall, the significance of this study lies in its potential to yield improvement in desi cotton.
