Chicken manure is an organic material that is abundant in Mentangor Village which has been used as fertilizer when fertilizing ponds, however the continuous use of fertilizers can reduce the quality of the bottom soil and pond water. One of the technological innovations to improve the quality of chicken manure is fermentation using EM4 to produce bokashi fertilizer. Bokashi fertilizer can increase the abundance of phytoplankton and zooplankton which are useful as natural fish food so that they can reduce the use of artificial feed, which in turn can reduce the operational costs of fish farming. Community service activities are carried out for the purpose of innovating knowledge and skills of fish farmers regarding techniques for making bokashi fertilizer from chicken manure and techniques for making fish feed in the form of pellets to increase cultivated fish production. This activity is carried out by lecturing, discussion and practice methods, which involve fish cultivator groups and Kukerta students.

In the Shadow of Death
Authors: Alberro Heather
Published: February 2021

This article posits that the myriad socio-ecological crises that mark the Anthropocene have generated a novel form of green utopianism or ‘ecotopianism’ in the form of contemporary radical environmental activists (REAs). Drawing on posthuman and green utopian theoretical tributaries, the article seeks to critically assess how the intrusion of crisis into the present influences REAs’ modality of ecotopianism, in particular their relations to central utopian concepts of ‘hope’ and ‘futurity’. REAs are embroiled in a fervent refusal of the ‘present’ of climate and ecological decline, frequently emphasizing the need to create micro-exemplars within the ‘here and now’ and evincing scepticism towards closure around particular notions of ‘the better’. REAs’ singular mode of ‘hopeless activism’ is not devoid of hope but rather disavows hope in its abstract and future-oriented modality, instead emphasizing a ‘critical modality’ of hope. The latter, stemming from REAs’ post-anthropocentric worldviews and deep kinship bonds with the nonhuman world, is fuelled by grief over the extant widespread loss of cherished Earth kin and moulded by a desire to create a ‘not-yet’ devoid of the widespread absence of Earth others. The article concludes with reflections on the nature of hope, loss of life and the utopian imaginary amid times pervaded by crisis, and on the potential for co-constructing more liveable worlds with Earth others.

The proposed system has an investigative scope, as a contribution to the agricultural food sector for the derivation of variables and the behavior of products (plants-food) and its method of conservation for quality towards the consumer. The type of investigation responds to the experimentation supported by an observation card with variable rate testing tests. Given the aforementioned, a freezing and refrigeration system is elaborated, taking advantage and optimizing an air conditioning system that works up to 24°C in the room and under the modification obtain temperatures of -15°C, starting from an average temperature of 29°C and a 65% relative humidity of the outside.

Prohexadione calcium, a plant growth regulator, has been used on virginia market type peanut cultivars for many years to manage excessive vine growth and improve digging efficiency. Prohexadione calcium has not been widely used on runner market type cultivars due to their slower growth habit and sporadic yield response at the labeled rate until recent research showed lower use rates of prohexadione calcium provided similar vine control and enhanced yield response. Large plot experiments were conducted in Colquitt county at the Darrell Williams Research Farm on the Sun Belt Ag Expo to quantify yield and market grade quality and economics of using prohexadione calcium at 105 g a.i./ha on six runner type cultivars. Prohexadione calcium was applied twice during the growing season. The first application was made when 50% or greater of lateral vines from adjacent rows were touching. A second application of each treatment was applied 14d after the first application. The runner type cultivars were Georgia-06G, Georgia-12Y, Georgia-13M, Georgia-14N, TUFRunnerTM-297, and TUFRunnerTM-511. Similar large-plot experiments were conducted on farms in Baker and Early counties evaluating yield and economic response of prohexadione calcium on Georgia-06G. A non-treated control was used in all experiments. Prohexadione calcium increased pod yield in all experiments ranging from 450 to 650 kg/ha compared to the non-treated control with response similar across cultivars. Prohexadione calcium reduced the dollar value per metric ton (DVMT) as a result of lowering total sound mature kernel (%TSMK) percentages up to 3 points. The higher yields obtained for the prohexadione calcium-treated peanut provided higher gross dollar value return/ha (GDR) in all experiments and higher gross dollar value return/ha above treatment cost (GDRAT) in the on-farm trials. Therefore, prohexadione calcium at 105 g/ha applied twice on runner market type peanut is warranted to improve yield and financial return when excessive vine growth is a concern.

Study Objective: To assess skin test results in patients with some allergies. Design: Perspective comparative study. Materials and Methods. We examined 1,963 patients with allergies who presented to Tadjieva Allergo-Medical Service LLC (Samarkand) in 2018–2019. 895 patients consented to and underwent allergy testing with scarification skin tests; they had various allergies (bronchial asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, allergic bronchitis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria). We used 76 types of most common allergens, including 24 plant allergens, 7 domestic allergens, 13 fungal allergens, 3 epidermal allergens, 27 food allergens, histamine and control test. Results. Most common, positive test results were seen with saltwort (42.9%), plantain (39.5%), wormwood (33.7%), pigweed (26.6%), quitch grass (27.3%), cultivated plant mix (corn, rye, barley, oats, wheat) (41.8%), wild grasses (dart grass, scleranthus, bluegrass, ryegrass, brome grass, couch grass, red-tailed fescue grass, foxtail, timothy) (40.4%). In domestic allergens, the highest number of positive test results accounted for Acarus siro (29.1%), Tyrophagus putrescentiae (24.6%), Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (21.8%), D. farinae (20.9%) mites. Still, the most severe are the diseases caused by hypersensitivity to fungal allergens Аlternaria alternatа (8.7%), Candida (8.9%). Polyvalent sensibilization was recorded in the majority of cases; but it was not a factor of severity and did not correlated with the duration of the disease. Conclusion. The results allow verifying aetiological factors of allergies in each case; later it can be used for targeted molecular diagnosis and allergen-specific immunotherapy. Keywords: allergies, allergen-specific immunotherapy, skin tests, plant, domestic, fungal allergens, polysensitization.

Objective: We aimed to determine the association between bedtime parenting practices and infant social-emotional competence (SEC).Material and Methods: Data from a birth cohort called: Prospective Cohort Study of Thai Children, were analyzed. Information on bedtime parenting and infant’s sleep information were collected at 3 and 12 months of age. Modified Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (MITSEA) were used to measure the SEC at 12 months of age. All participating infants with a MITSEA score >75th percentile were classified as having high SEC. The association between bedtime parenting practices and high SEC were analyzed using multiple logistic regression.Results: Data from 2,109 infants were analyzed (male:female=1:1). Median age of mothers was 26 years. Ninety-two percent of caregivers shared a bed with their infants, at either their 3rd- or 12th-month-visits. Two-thirds of the caregivers reported bed sharing at both visits. About 70.0% of caregivers fed their infants until the infant fell asleep, and about two-thirds responded to infant’s awakening with milk feeding. Infants who were never fed until falling asleep were more likely to have high SEC, compared with infants who were always fed until sleep (odds ratio 1.49; 95% confidence interval 1.14, 1.96). Bed sharing showed no association with a high SEC. Older, female mothers, higher socioeconomic status and quality time were associated with a high SEC.Conclusion: The bedtime parenting practice associated with a high SEC was: “non-feeding until falling asleep”. Bed sharing, which was a popular practice in this cohort, showed no association with high SEC.

Article addresses issues, constrained with the use of property colors allowing to use him, as psychological factor, for the achievement of aims, facilitating vital indexes or impedimental to the functional processes, showing up in contrasting relations in an interior. The use of the contrast effect is based on a person’s desire to compare everything. When studying the manifestation of contrast from a scientific point of view, two aspects of the problem are distinguished: psycho physiological and aesthetic. Both factors must be considered when creating an interior. Contrast in the interior, as in painting, is important, especially when choosing expressiveness. Depending on the intensity, the contrast can give the impression of diversity, strength, determination. To create a mood in the interior, convey emotions and set the right accents, you need to transform the walls into an interesting element of design. You need to create a complete composition of all the elements of the interior. Contrasting interiors are always expressive. Particular attention should be paid to the arrangement of a work of art in a contemporary interior and its integration into the architectural space. By creating a painting for the interior directly, we can change the architectural space and set the color palette, as well as choose the material to create the artwork. Choosing a work of art allows designers to create bold interiors to order. This article aims to explain and systematically characterize the selection of materials and principles in determining the type and purpose of the interior, as well as to formulate the criteria for creating a competent contemporary interior, using contrasting features when finding the main visual focus in the interior. Thus, the contrast used as a means of organizing the architectural environment also works to enhance the impact of the work of art on the created interior and multiply its significance.
