Kültürlerarası iletişimle ilgili çalışmalarda öncelikle kültür, kültürü oluşturan bağımsız bölümler, kültür ve iletişimi birbirine bağlayan sürecin irdelenmesi gerektiği düşünülür. 21. yüzyılın getirdiği yenilik ve gelişmeler, dünyanın farklı bölgelerde birbirinden farklı yankılar uyandırmaktadır. Bu yenilik ve gelişmelerin ulaşımı, iletişimi ve nakli kolaylaştırması sayesinde kıtalar ve dolayısıyla insanlar birbirine yaklaşmıştır. Bu sebeple kültürlerarası iletişim çalışmalarının, içinde bulunulan yüzyılda önemli olduğu söylenebilir. Küreselleşmenin yükselişi, millî kültürlerin etkisini azaltabilmektedir. Kültürlerarası iletişim kurma sürecinde iletişime geçilecek kişinin kültürel yapısı hakkında bilgi sahibi olmak, kurulacak iletişimin sağlıklı ve istenen ölçüde olmasına fayda sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada kültürlerarası iletişimin farklı değişkenlerinden yola çıkılarak kültürlerarası iletişimi en çok gerçekleştirenler arasında yer alan, havaalanlarında çalışan on sekiz gümrüksüz mağaza satış personeliyle görüşülmüştür. Görüşmelerde detaya inebilmek ve ek bilgiler de edinebilmek maksadıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır.

Students’ Opinions on the Instructional Mode of Attendance at Medical English Classes during COVID-19 Measures
Authors: ONDER-OZDEMIR Neslihan
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to investigate undergraduate nursing students’ opinions on the instructional mode of attendance at Medical English classes during novel coronavirus (COVID-19) measures in the 2021-2022 academic term. Convenience sampling was utilized to obtain data. The data were collected using an online interview with three open-ended questions and highly structured observation accompanied by field notes (n=49). Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings showed that during COVID-19, the main reasons undergraduate nursing students preferred face-to-face education included being more effective and productive. During online learning, most of the nursing students’ conditions did not allow joining online classes, such as limited internet access, problems with the internet connection, and also their departmental programme that included face-to-face classes after online Medical English classes. The interview findings were consistent with the data obtained using observation in this study. The findings suggest that students’ opinions should be considered while making formal decisions. Hybrid education, synchronous (live) and asynchronous (recorded) sessions together, seems to be the best option. Each stakeholder, like teachers and managers, should be hand in hand with students when making decisions, especially in unexpected processes like COVID-19.

Neo-modernism emerged when the term post-modernism began when the term began to become a common discourse when many experts began to get displeased with the negative effects that modernity, either from the aspect of sociocultural structure or scientific aspects. Neo-modernism, if traced to its existence, is in the thoughts of Fazlur Rahman (1970). While in Indonesia itself has Neo-modernism figures namely Nurcholish Madjid and Abdurrahman Wahid. As moralists and democrats, they have a complete, comprehensive, inclusive, and even free understanding of Islam. Therefore, their ideological and political actions often cause controversy. Even if they differ in practice, they have a paradigm of Islamic thought. Since Cak Nur put forward the jargon "Islam yes" and "Partai Islam no" in the 1970s, the integration of Islam and national opinion began to surface. Since then, the struggle for Islam through cultural channels has continued, and Muslims have also begun to participate in nation-building. In 1984, when NU under the leadership of Gus Dur approved Pancasila as the only precept, the relationship between Islam and the State grew stronger.

Pongamia for Bio-Energy and Better Environment
Authors: Prasad M.V.R.
Published: July 2023

"The current socio-economic situation of India presents complex problems of environmental pollution and decline of farm income coupled with rural poverty. There are no simple solutions to the above issues; but a careful analysis of the available options does suggest some silver-linings amidst the rapidly darkening horizons. One such ameliorating options would be gradual restoration of soil fertility and enhancement of agri-ecosystems by including productive tree plantations in rural scenario. Pongamia pinnata, popularly known in India as Karanj has been found to be one of the most sustainable trees with regard to its soil enhancement and carbon sequestration properties apart from its stability in seed and oil yield. Pongamia pinnata is also credited with several preventive and curative properties as established by Ayurvedic medicine. It may be recalled that in the decades of nineteen seventies a few villages reaped sustainable incomes in the face of acute and chronic droughts that plagued the nation, solely due to the availability of some old Pongamia / karanj tree stands around those zones. Kranj oil has exhibited promise as a source of green energy. Nevertheless, the research on improvement of Karanj and its management as a productive plantation is nebulous. It is heartening that the Monograph on Karanj by Dr. M.V.R. Prasad fills this void. Dr. Prasad has been pursuing the work on oil bearing perennial trees of which Pongamaia pinnata has been studied in greater detail during the decades starting from nineteen eighties to date. The Monograph describes clearly as to how Pongamia pinnata could be harnessed to exploit the proven and potential benefits cited above, in addition to giving valuable information on its genetic improvement and plantation management. This Monograph on Pongomia will serve as a valuable reference book for the Agricultural Scientists, Extension workers, students as well as farmers."

In the present context of negative impacts on crop productivity and soil fertility, a system approach in cropping has become more relevant. The book 'Intercropping System' is divided into nine chapters that deal with the theory and practices of the intercropping system including recent research evidence. The first two chapters describe the overview of the intercropping system and complexity as well as the competitive relationship among component crops. The third chapter narrates the management options in the intercropping systems, while the fourth chapter highlights the multifaceted benefits of an intercropping system. Chapter 5 tells the suitability for the adoption of the intercropping system in organic agriculture. The sixth chapter describes how an intercropping system can ensure agricultural sustainability and some of the sustainable development Goals (SDGs). Chapter 7 illustrates the practice of alley cropping, a form of agroforestry, in resource-poor conditions. Legumes are considered an automatic choice in the intercropping system and hence, in the eighth chapter, the benefits of the inclusion of legumes as components have been described. Finally, in the ninth chapter, the performance of important crops in the intercropping system has been highlighted."
Pests of Fruit Crops
Authors: Laskar Nripendra , Phani Victor
Published: July 2023

"Among the leading fruit producing countries in the world, India ranks second only after China. Fruits play pivotal role in mitigating nutritional requirement of the society as well as providing employment opportunity, especially in the agriculture dominated rural agrarian economy of the developing countries like India. In the age of Hi-tech Horticulture, introduction of new fruit crops resulted in the paradigm shift in fruit crop cultivation. Climatic changes and increment in cropping intensity reflected in a remarkable and rapid shift of fruit ecosystem. Biotic stresses like insect, mite and nematode pests etc. have also been increasing day by day. These pest problems in fruit crop cultivation are now changing in a dynamic fashion in close association with the change in cropping system and the environment. To protect the fruit crops from insect pest devastation, synthetic poisonous chemicals are the quick and easy solution which are being used indiscriminately. Considering the ill effects of these hard-to-degrade synthetic chemical pesticides, integrated approaches are the only answer to combat such a complex and dreaded problem. The integrated approach comprises cultural, mechanical, biological and ecological management strategies in association with need based and safe pesticidal chemicals. Some pesticides have also been banned for using in horticultural crop cultivation, some others are withdrawn. But information with regard to these phenomena are scattered. In this compilation, an exhaustive effort has been undertaken to compile them. In addition to elaborating the host range, distribution, marks of identification, mode of feeding and symptoms of infestation, bionomics of the pests, biological control, pesticide residue problem and measures to mitigate it have been presented by the experts from different Institutes of repute from all over India. The book has been designed for the UG and PG students of horticulture, crop protection, pomological acarology as well as nematology. This will also serve as guide to respected Professors and Teachers of Agricultural Universities, progressive farmers, extension workers, plant protection specialists as well as policy makers."

Soil Fertility Management Through Bioresource Technology
Authors: Singaravel R. , Prasath V.
Published: July 2023

"Maintenance of soil fertility and productivity is the dire need of present-day farming as the level of soil organic matter is getting depleted due to over use of inorganic fertilizers, lesser use of organic manures, mono cropping, imbalanced fertilizer use etc. The area under multiple nutrients deficiencies are also increasing in recent years. As a result of degradation and depletion of soil fertility, agricultural production in many regions is now failing to show positive response to increasing agricultural inputs. The Bioresource technology as a bio software can solve many constraints of soils and restore the fertility and productivity of crops. To renew the soil productivity, recycling of crop biomass and application of compost is a viable alternative. There is an absolute need to replenish soil by returning its lost share of organic matter which is recognized as a serious threat to sustainability. Huge amounts of bio resources are available in India which could effectively be recycled. Total amount of crop residue in India is estimated at 350 x 106 kg per year. This book offers 10 chapters which comprises potential benefits of various bioresources for the improvement of soil fertility in terms of physico-chemical properties, macro and micro nutrient availability, soil microbes and enzymes, crop growth, yield and plant nutrient uptake."
