Published: July 2024

The success of climate-smart agriculture in high rainfall zone lies in understanding the rainfall trend and planning or modifying the cropping system for maximum yield. Moisture stress in critical crop growth stages is detrimental to the crop and drastically reduces the yield. Udhagamandalam region in Western Ghats is a high rainfall area and is largely cultivated by vegetable crops. Rainfall trend based crop planning would enhance the crop yield without water stress. A study was carried out at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Dhemaji, Assam focused on assessing the long-term seasonal and monthly rainfall trends of Udhagamandalam region, Tamil Nadu using non-parametric tests and Innovative Trend Analysis (ITA). Daily rainfall of 62 years from 1960–2021 was analyzed with non-parametric tests, viz. Mann-Kendall and modified Mann-Kendall and ITA to find the seasonal rainfall characteristics. Mann- Kendall (3.055) and modified Mann-Kendall (3.055) tests showed a significantly increasing trend in the annual and seasonal monsoonal rainfall. ITA revealed either a significant positive or a negative trend in all the months except February, with the highest trend in June (2.625). In contrast to standard non-parametric tests, ITA detected a significant positive trend in all seasons and annual rainfall, except in cold winters where the trend is negative. The long-term trend analysis results suggest that the ITA is more precise for rainfall trend analysis than standard non-parametric tests and can be used to evaluate hidden variations of rainfall trends. Hence, ITA is recommended for analyzing rainfall trends for crop planning in high-rainfall regions. IT analysis of 62 years of rainfall data of Udhagamandalam suggested that vegetable crop planning can be done by farmers from August–November months as the rainfall trend during this period is assured as an increasing trend of rainfall pattern was observed.

The identification and deployment of high-yielding pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.] hybrids adapted to various stress agro-ecologies are crucial for enhancing food and nutrition security in northern India. A study was carried out during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2019 and 2020 at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana in different growing situations (early-sown and late-sown patterns and rainfed to irrigated conditions) to investigate the genotype-environment interaction (GEI) of 59 pearl millet restorer lines, male sterile lines and their derived hybrids. Pooled analysis of variance for genotype, environment and GEI was significant for days to 50% flowering, seed yield and harvest index. These results indicate the significant differences among the genotypes, various environments and response of GEI. By combining the results of regression analysis and additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) biplot, the genotypes HMS58 A1×EMRL-14/105, HMS54 A5×EMRL-14/127 and EMRL-15/109 exhibited high mean seed yield and high stability across environments. Among the tested environments, irrigated late-sown condition for seed yield and harvest index; and rainfed early-sown condition for days to 50% flowering had the highest discrimination ability. Hence, this study can help for the grouping of pearl millet potential hybrids and allow multi-year trials for identifying the best genotypes in the northern India.

A produção de biocombustíveis vem sendo motivada com o intuito de inserir fontes renováveis na matriz energética em diversos países. O Brasil se destaca como grande produtor de bioetanol, tendo a cana-de-açúcar como matéria-prima principal. Embora essa biomassa forneça bons rendimentos, não encontra condições favoráveis para seu cultivo em todo o território nacional. o Bioetanol também é muito utilizado na síntese de compostos químicos e como agente desinfetante, e o aumento da demanda torna necessária a busca por fontes alternativas de biomassa para sua produção. Dessa maneira, esse trabalho propõe a avaliação do uso da beterraba vermelha (Beta vulgaris L.) como matéria-prima para a produção de bioetanol. Foi conduzido um ensaio de produção de etanol de beterraba a partir das operações de preparo da matéria-prima, extração, evaporação, fermentação e destilação, em escala laboratorial. A fermentação fez uso da levedura Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cepa LNF CA-11, e a destilação forneceu uma solução hidroalcoólica com teor de 95,1 °GL (% v/v), indicando a viabilidade de uso como etanol hidratado combustível. Por fim, houve a produção de álcool em gel com o uso do carbômero 960, evidenciando a viabilidade do uso de beterraba como biomassa.

The present study investigated the effects of gamified grammar and vocabulary learning using Kahoot!, Quizizz, and Quizlet on learning performance, motivation, enjoyment, anxiety, and classroom dynamics and engagement in an English course. The investigation also involved the effects of gamified learning on gender, proficiency, and learning outcomes. Gamified learning was implemented for eight weeks, consisting of Cycle 1 (grammar) and Cycle 2 (vocabulary). Data were collected using survey questionnaires, grammar and vocabulary tests, and English proficiency tests. The results indicated high positive effects on the five survey constructs and significant increases were noted for learning motivation and classroom dynamics and engagement while reducing learning anxiety. The effects remained constant for female and male students, yet high-level students would likely enjoy and be engaged more in gamified learning than low-level students. Despite these highly perceived effects, they were not significant predictors of students’ grammar learning outcomes. Only the degrees of students’ learning enjoyment and anxiety can help estimate students’ achievement in vocabulary learning. Keywords: gamification; grammar learning; vocabulary learning; learning outcomes

Marriage includes 2 (two) individuals, namely a man and a woman who have the aim of forming a happy family. Every individual in building a family has rights and obligations that must be implemented and obtained. If one of these obligations is ignored, it can hinder the achievement of the goals of the marriage itself. Divorce is a process of ending a marital relationship. Before a divorce agreement is reached, mediation will be carried out between the two parties with the aim of reconciling the two parties so that there is no need for a divorce. The method used in conducting research is qualitative using a descriptive approach. This approach refers to a systematic and accurate depiction of facts and characteristics of research objects and subjects. Mediation in resolving civil disputes, especially in the context of divorce in the Religious Courts, has been carried out in accordance with applicable regulations. Factors inhibiting the success of mediation in resolving civil cases, especially divorce in the Religious Courts, include strong differences of opinion regarding divorce, prolonged conflict, lack of good intentions to reconcile, and the influence of mental or emotional factors.

In practice, it is very difficult to determine whether there is or is not a fault in a corporation. It turns out that in developments, especially regarding corporate criminal liability, it is known that there is a new view or let's say a slightly different view, that specifically the responsibility of legal entities, the principle of fault does not absolutely apply, so that criminal liability is refers to the doctrine of strict liability (absolute responsibility) and vicarious liability (responsibility imposed on another person) which in principle is a deviation from the principle of fault. This research was created and compiled using a narrative descriptive research method. This research typology is descriptive-narrative, emphasizing the use of secondary data obtained through literature study. In Article 59 of the Criminal Code, corporate criminal liability is borne by its management. Therefore, the subject of corporate criminal law is attached to the actions of the management themselves. The meaning of the claim in this case must be interpreted as a civil prosecution because the corporation loses the right to manage its assets which are entered into bankruptcy. Apart from that, if all of the corporation's assets are entered into bankruptcy, this will have an impact on the liquidation process. As stated in Article 71 POJK Number 28/POJK.05/2014, as well as Article 142 UUPT, it is possible for the liquidation process or the cause of liquidation to occur because of the bankruptcy decision.

Authors: Jang Soonkyu ,   Sookmyung institute of Global Governance
Published: July 2024

Recently, the UX design expert training program is founded around Seoul metropolitan area, where firms growing in the online platform industry and global companies are concentrated. Accordingly, there are certain limitations in the environment in which students majoring in UX design at non-metropolitan universities can grow into experts. This research confirmed the possibility of after-school activities ‘clubs' through a pre-test that assessed the positive effects on major learning from club participation among students at non-metropolitan universities. As mentioned above, this research founded the local united club for studying UX design. The local united club recruited students who wanted to study a project-based major. For club activities, which was the UX design program based on content from pre-research, was constructed following the stages of UX design education confirmed in previous studies. After experiencing the 15- week course twice, cross-verification was conducted through students participating in the club to see whether the UX design education program presented in the previous study was a universal education program or a situation of improving local infrastructure of UX design. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the UX design education program, operated in the form of a regional association club, could improve the UX design education infrastructure. The program of after-school club activities based in non-metropolitan areas, which will help students grow into UX design experts in IT firms, will be an alternative to improving the disappointing environment for students in Daegu and Gyungbuk area.

COVID-19 global coronavirus is a pandemic caused by coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Coronavirus effect on multiple organ dysfunction but pulmonary function is most affected area of a patients. Pulmonary function or vital capacity have significance in the treatment of COVID affected patients. Vital capacity is defined as the maximal volume of air that can be exhaled from the lungs following maximal inspiration. Present study aim is to compare vital capacity between COVID-19 survivors and non-COVID populations. A total of eight hundred fifty-nine (859) subjects of different ages have been selected for the present study. The present study data were collected by the Multi-Functional Spirometer HI-801 for vital capacity, and the digital weighing scale was used for the measurement of body weight. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, the mean and the standard deviation (SD). An inferential statistically paired and independent t-test was applied to check the level of significance. The significance level was set at p<0.05. The results of this study, male COVID survivors between the ages of 20 to 40 have better vital capacity recovery than male COVID survivors over the age of 40, while female COVID survivors between the ages of 20 to 40 outperform female COVID survivors over the age of 40. Female COVID-19 survivors generally regain essential capabilities far more quickly than male survivors. We conclude that female COVID survivors recover vital capacity much faster than male COVID survivors.

Almost all (97%) of respondents correctly identified that stretch marks usually appear on the skin due to rapid weight changes. Eighty percent correctly acknowledged stretch marks as a type of scar, while two-thirds answered affirmatively regarding their potential to cause irritation and itching. Misconceptions were identified, such as respondents incorrectly believing that stretch marks are exclusively formed through pregnancy. In the opinion-based survey, participants expressed varying viewpoints on stretch marks and herbal treatments. Statistical analysis revealed several significant correlations between demographic factors and participants' understanding of stretch marks. The survey findings provide valuable insights into stretch mark management and students' perceptions of herbal remedies. Overall, the study underscores the significance of further research and targeted educational initiatives in dermatological conditions like stretch marks.

This study aimed to explore the evidence in the off-label use of albuterol in the acute management of hyperkalemia. It also aims to explore the knowledge and opinion of first-year pharmacy students related to this topic. Based on the literature survey, it shows a lack of awareness among first-year pharmacy students regarding albuterol, hyperkalemia, and the use of albuterol for hyperkalemia. Demographic factors, such as income and years of work experience, were shown to influence students' understanding of the topic. Regarding the survey, a total of forty participants completed an online survey, providing information on demographic factors such as age, gender, residency state, employment status, income, education, and work experience. Results revealed a predominantly female and younger student population, with diverse geographic representation and varied employment and income levels. Most participants selected the wrong answer to questions related to albuterol and hyperkalemia, suggesting potential knowledge gaps in this area. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions to enhance student understanding and clinical decision-making skills in pharmacotherapy-related concepts. Further research could evaluate the effectiveness of such interventions in improving student knowledge and patient care outcomes.

Subclinical mastitis is a major threat to the dairy industry that usually gets unnoticed by the farmers but is responsible for huge economic losses owing to diminished milk production and quality and propagation of infection to other animals in milking. To date antimicrobials have been used to treat mastitis but recent reports of antimicrobial resistance have prompted us to think of concrete alternate approaches for treatment, the use of monoesters of lauric acid being one such alternate approach. Thirty animals positive for sub clinical mastitis were randomly divided into three groups of ten animals each and assigned different treatments. The efficacy was judged based on the tests performed pre and post therapy and results were compared statistically. Maximum efficacy was observed in the antibiotic treated group where all the animals recovered completely followed by antioxidant and lauric acid group (90%) and group treated with antioxidants alone (70%). The addition of monoesters of lauric acid in Group 2 can be the reason for higher therapeutic efficacy of Group 2.

India is the habitat of about 55% of the world’s buffalo populace. However, the current production and marketing structure of buffalo meat for the indigenous and international market is endowed with multitudinous challenges. At present, there is an elevation in demand for Indian buffalo meat in the global market, especially when processing units in Brazil and Argentina continued to be closed due to the outbreak of the Covid 19. Keeping this in mind, knowledge regarding the performance of Indian buffalo meat export and identification of its profitability is required. The study examined the cost-return pattern in Punjab state. Further, it examined the pattern of trade, fluctuating directions of the buffalo meat trade in India by Markov Chain Analysis, and projected exports of Indian Buffalo meat till 2023 to 2024. The Transitional Probability Matrix found that Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam were the most consistent and trustworthy markets for Indian Buffalo meat, with probability retention of 81.06, 79.58, and 74.75%, respectively. Saudi Arab would be considered an unstable importer. The projections of Buffalo meat export up to 2023 to 2024 showed an increase in Vietnam’s export share. There is a need to popularise and commercialise the buffalo male calf rearing business in rural areas, especially in Punjab. Further, linking these farms to meat processing plants is also crucial. Pertinent inspection of the quality of buffalo meat to meet international market standards is a pressing priority to grab additional share in the global market.

The present experiment aimed to establish the efficacy of a novel feed supplement (NFS) on nutrient intake, energy status, metabolic profile, milk yield, reproductive performance and its socio economic impact on problematic post-partum buffaloes under field condition. Twenty four post-partum buffaloes were randomly and equally assigned to CON and NFS groups for 120 days of experimental feeding period. The animals in CON group were fed on basal roughages and concentrate mixture @ 20% of DMI as per the farmers’ practices, whereas, buffaloes in NFS group were fed according to CON with additional novel feed supplement @ 0.25% of BW. The voluntary feed intake and average daily gain in body weight were increased in NFS than CON group. The buffaloes fed NFS diet exhibited higher Hb, haematocrit, serum glucose and lower NEFA. Serum minerals (Ca, iP, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn), metabolic hormones (T3, T4, GH, IGF-1) and total anti-oxidant capacity were enhanced in NFS group. The milk yield and conception rate were also improved significantly following strategic supplementation of NFS. Analyses of cost benefit of milk yield revelled that the benefit-cost ratio was improved in NFS fed buffaloes. Thus, it can be concluded that strategic supplementation the novel feed supplement @ 0.25% of BW significantly improved the nutrient intake, energy balance, metabolic profile, milk yield and reproduction performance of problematic buffaloes under field condition during early post-partum period.

The present investigation included the data pertaining to lactation records of 301 Mehsana buffaloes, spread over a period of 30 years (1991 to 2020), collected from the records maintained at Livestock Research Station, SDAU, Sardarkrushinagar, District Banaskantha, Gujarat; to evaluate the reproduction performance of Mehsana buffaloes. The data pertaining to different performance traits was collected from the records of the farm and analysed to know the effects of non-genetic factors like- period of calving, season of calving, parity and age at first calving group on these performance traits. The LSM of AFC have been observed 1295.54±11.80 days (N=301), but it was significantly (P≤0.01) affected by the period of birth. Similarly, LSM for SP was calculated 145.72±4.98 days (N=1038) and it was significantly (P≤0.01) affected by period of calving, season of calving and parity, but AFC group did not have any effect on this trait. The LSM of DP was estimated as 213.69±9.17 days (N=869), while it was significantly (P≤0.05) affected by period of calving, but effect of season of calving and parity on this trait was highly significant (P≤0.01). Similarly, LSM of CI was observed 451.97±4.97 days (N=1054), which was significantly (P≤0.01) affected by the period of calving, season of calving and parity. Therefore, based on these observations it was concluded that significant effect of non-genetic factors play an important role to improve the reproduction performance of the Mehsana buffalo herd, therefore emphasis must be given on nutrition, management and health cover practices to improve the performance of the indigenous breed on the farm.
