Authors:   Generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Google, .google.com gemini , Shamim Dr. Mahfuzul Islam ,   Team Leader, Smart Leadership Academy, Bangladesh
Published: August 2024

The academic landscape is experiencing a seismic shift as Generative Artificial Intelli-gence (GenAI) rapidly transforms research methodologies. This paper delves into the potential im-pact of GenAI on the future of writing research papers. We explore how GenAI can revolutionize research by: • Augmenting Research Efficiency: Streamlining literature reviews, automating data analy-sis, and generating draft content. • Empowering Knowledge Discovery: Identifying research gaps, suggesting novel hypothe-ses, and summarizing complex information. • Elevating Research Communication: Crafting clear, concise, and grammatically correct language tailored for diverse audiences. However, ethical considerations and potential challenges like plagiarism and bias in AI-generated content must be addressed. We propose strategies for responsible development and integration of GenAI tools in research writing. Finally, we discuss the evolving role of researchers in this AI-powered future, emphasizing critical thinking, human judgment, and effective communication of research findings.

Di era industri 4.0 ini, penggunaan sistem informasi sangat dibutuhkan untuk keperluan dalam organisasi, perusahaan, komunitas dan lainnya. Termasuk dalam Komunitas United Indonesia, yang terdapat sebuah transaksi pendaftaran dan pembayaran didalamnya. Namun, kegiatan ini masih berlangsung secara manual sehingga memerlukan waktu dan tenaga yang berlebih. Penerapan sistem informasi untuk pendaftaran dan pembayaran membership pada komunitas United Indonesia dapat dilakukan. Dengan menggunakan metode Waterfall yang merupakan pendekatan SDLC paling awal yang digunakan untuk pengembangan perangkat lunak. Urutan dalam Metode Waterfall bersifat serial yang dimulai dari proses perencanaan, analisa, desain, dan implementasi pada sistem. Maka dari itu dalam penelitian ini kami menggunakan metode tersebut. Dalam penelitian ini kami akan membuatkan sistem informasi yaitu sebuah website untuk dapat digunakan oleh pengurus serta member United Indonesia dalam proses transaksi yang telah ada. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa sistem informasi pendaftaran dan pembayaran dapat membantu United Indonesia dalam mempercepat proses pendaftaran dan pembayaran karena sebelumnya masih menggunakan sistem manual. Sistem informasi pendaftaran dan pembayaran ini dapat diterapkan pada tempat lain yang membutuhkan dengan beberapa penyesuaian. Masih banyak potensi fitur yang dapat dikembangkan seiring dengan berkembangnya kebutuhan pada United Indonesia.
 
In this industrial era 4.0, the use of information systems is needed for purposes in organizations, companies, communities And others. Including in the United Indonesia Community, which has a registration And payment transaction in it. However, this Activity still takes place manually so that it requires excessive time And energy. The application of information systems for membership registration And payment in the United Indonesia community can be done. By using the Waterfall method which is the earliest SDLC approach used for software development. The sequence in the Waterfall Method is serial in nature starting from the planning, analysis, design, And implementation processes of the system. Therefore in this research we use this method. In this study we will create an information system, namely a website to be used by the Management And members of United Indonesia in the existing transaction process. It can be concluded that the registration And payment information system can help United Indonesia in speeding up the registration And payment process because previously it was still using a manual system. This registration And payment information system can be applied to other places that need it with some adjustments. There are still many potential features that can be developed along with the growing needs of United Indonesia.

Published: August 2024

SMA PGRI Depok merupakan salah satu sekolah swasta di kota Depok yang aktif dalam pemanfaatan teknologi baik dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar dan dalam proses administrasi sekolah. Terbuktinya sudah digunakannya beberapa sistem informasi pendukung kegiatan sekolah seperti sistem pembelajaran online bagi siswa yaitu e-learnig dan sistem pendaftaran peserta didik berbasis online. Tetapi, sekolah masih belum mempunyai sistem informasi yang sesuai dengan kurikulum yang akan membantu menyiapkan nilai rapor siswa. Proses pengolahan nilai masih diinput secara manual yaitu dengan menggunakan aplikasi Spreadsheet sehingga proses pengumpulan nilai menjadi lambat, dan pada saat penyerahan hasil nilai siswa kepada wali kelas  menimbulkan menumpuknya data yang harus diinput wali kelas. Maka dari itu, penulis merancang sebuah website sebagai sarana pendukung dalam kegiatan penyusunan laporan rapor siswa dengan menggunakan framework laravel. Dalam proses perancangan sistem ini menggunakan model waterfall untuk menunjang terstukturnya sistem. Sistem informasi pengolahan nilai berbasis web ini  mempermudah bagian akademik dalam proses pencatatan data, pengolahan data, pencarian data dan penyimpanan data sehingga menjadi lebih efektif dan efesien. Dan dengan adanya web ini mempermudah siswa dalam melihat nilai dan rekap kehadiran siswa.
 
PGRI Depok High School is one of the private schools in Depok city that is active in the utilization of technology both in teaching and learning activities and in the school administration process. This is evidenced by the use of several information systems supporting school activities such as an online learning system for students, namely e-learnig and an online-based student registration system. However, the school still does not have an information system in accordance with the curriculum that will help prepare student report cards. The process of processing grades is still input manually, namely by using the Spreadsheet application so that the process of collecting grades is slow, and when submitting student grades to homeroom teachers, it causes a pile of data that must be inputted by homeroom teachers. Therefore, the author designs a website as a means of supporting the activities of preparing student report cards using the Laravel framework. In the process of designing this system using a waterfall model to support the structure of the system. This web-based grade processing information system makes it easier for the academic department in the process of recording data, processing data, searching data and storing data so that it becomes more effective and efficient. And with this web it makes it easier for students to see grades and recap student attendance.

Published: August 2024

Education for sustainable development (ESD) is recognized as a key foundation on which a sustainable future is built. This entails enabling acquisition of knowledge and skills, influencing values and attitudes, and aiding sustainable actions. In a two-year transnational research and development project, project partners have been engaged in designing and delivering an online learning platform (OLP) for supporting teachers applying ESD, in secondary schools.   This article discusses the design process and the challenges that arose with transforming identified research and policies to a suitable OLP for teachers to bring into their teaching, across diverse learning settings. Findings from the design process are based on observations from an initial Learning Design (LD) workshop with the involved project partners and a subsequent workshop with students interacting with the platform, together with project partner experiences on the overall design process and with teachers having applied the platform in their teaching. Discoveries from the development project unfolds challenges in designing an OLP for supporting ESD in schools, with a flexibility and sensitivity towards socio-cultural complexities and diverse learning contexts.
Patočka et l’animal

L’animal ne fait pas l’objet d’un thème en lui-même dans l’oeuvre du philosophe phénoménologue tchèque Jan Patočka. Mais le présent article s’efforce d’en rassembler les occurrences afin de montrer que sa conception de l’être-animal comme unité d’un corps-propre qui s’oriente et se meut de lui-même, pose en toile de fond le problème éthique fondamental de l’espace partagé de la Terre entre les êtres en mouvement humains et non-humains.
Éthique judiciaire et sécurité juridique
Authors: Zamblé Bi Zaouli Sylvain
Published: August 2024

Les prétentions de certains philosophes relatives à l’institutionnalisation de l’éthique dans la fonction de juger semblent ignorer la portée qu’aurait un tel projet sur la garantie de la sécurité juridique. Or, c’est bien au nom de cette sécurité juridique, entendue comme l’exigence de prévisibilité et de certitude du droit, que les positivistes soutiennent la séparation du droit de la morale. Cette divergence nécessite un examen du rapport entre l’éthique judiciaire et la sécurité juridique. Une telle analyse pourrait montrer que l’exercice de la fonction éthique du juge, loin d’être une source de pouvoir discrétionnaire qui conduirait à des décisions arbitraires, peut être une garantie de la sécurité juridique. Celle-ci devient, dans ce cas, une exigence de la justice qui oblige le juge à trouver la bonne réponse au problème posé, quelles que soient les failles du droit. C’est cette portée salutaire de l’éthique dans la réalisation de la sécurité juridique qui confère une pertinence réelle à son institutionnalisation dans la fonction judiciaire.

Published: August 2024

En 2015, le gouvernement du Québec a entrepris une vaste restructuration du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux en réorganisant les 182 établissements existants en 34 centres intégrés de santé et de services sociaux, centres intégrés universitaires de santé et services sociaux, centres hospitaliers universitaires et instituts universitaires. Toutefois, ces nouvelles mégastructures ont rapidement été confrontées aux différences de missions, de modes de gouvernances et de pratiques entre les anciens établissements et ceux qui venaient d’être constitués. Dans ce contexte, cet article présente les interrogations et les réflexions suscitées lors d’une initiative de recherche collaborative en éthique organisationnelle au Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de Chaudière-Appalaches, en vue de faciliter le développement d’une culture éthique commune. Après avoir décrit cette initiative de recherche, les autrices et auteurs présentent quelques questionnements qui en sont issues. Ils réfléchissent ensuite à l’apport des sciences sociales, et de l’anthropologie en particulier, à la recherche en éthique. Cette réflexion souhaite contribuer à enrichir le champ du développement et de l’évaluation des interventions en éthique organisationnelle en santé et services sociaux, en plus d’éclairer l’apport de la recherche intégrée à l’éthique organisationnelle.
Tourisme alternatif et développement de
l’entreprenariat privé à Cuba
Authors: Chapon Laurine
Published: August 2024

Cet article vise à analyser la manière dont l’essor de pratiques
touristiques indépendantes à Cuba, qui s’appuient sur des chambres chez
l’habitant (casas particulares)
comme mode d’hébergement, produit des territoires touristiques originaux à
différentes échelles. Si les casas particulares
existent depuis les années 1990, la libéralisation de la vente des biens
immobiliers entre Cubains depuis 2011 a résulté en une croissance exponentielle
de ces logements chez l’habitant. Depuis, de nombreux Cubains et étrangers, par
l’intermédiaire de prête-noms, investissent dans
l’immobilier touristique, entraînant de profondes transformations
socio-spatiales dans le pays. Dans une perspective de géographie sociale et
critique, cet article vise à comprendre quelles formes spatiales originales sont
produites par ces acteurs intermédiaires, à la fois bailleurs cubains et
touristes internationaux, alors que des mesures de libéralisation permettent
aujourd’hui la construction d’un véritable marché immobilier à Cuba. Il vise
également à se demander dans quelle mesure le développement d’un marché locatif
destiné aux touristes internationaux transforme les structures socio-spatiales
cubaines, entre conflits d’usage et nouvelles inégalités.
Industrie hôtelière ou hospitaliy industry : vicissitude du concept
d’hospitalité
Authors: Cinotti Yves
Published: August 2024

Les professionnels puis les chercheurs anglophones désignent
désormais le secteur économique des cafés, hôtels et restaurants sous
l’appellation « 
hospitality industry
 ». Même si la presse professionnelle commence à utiliser le
vocable « industrie de l’hospitalité », les chercheurs français qui ont
étudié l’hospitalité s’y refusent, considérant que l’hospitalité ne peut
être monnayée. Pourtant, si l’on définit l’hospitalité comme le « partage du
‘chez-soi’« , on repère des formes d’hospitalité touristique : l’hospitalité
domestique, l’hospitalité territoriale et l’hospitalité commerciale. Cela
amène à se demander si l’hôtellerie-restauration est vraiment une industrie
qui pratique l’hospitalité. Ou vaut-il mieux parler d’industrie de
l’accueil ?
L’approche géographique du tourisme à
l’épreuve de la recherche interculturelle
Authors: Pickel-Chevalier Sylvine
Published: August 2024

La mondialisation du tourisme mène à réfléchir à de nouvelles
approches scientifiques. Nous postulons que la recherche interculturelle,
non comprise comme une discipline mais une démarche épistémologique reposant
à la fois sur l’objet et la méthode, est un outil essentiel à la
compréhension du monde. Nous appuyant sur l’exemple de nos travaux en
Indonésie, nous aspirons à démontrer plus particulièrement sa capacité à
enrichir l’approche géographique du tourisme. Le développement du fait
socioculturel touristique dans l’archipel indonésien relève de processus
complexes, entre appropriation, résistance et innovation. Ils témoignent de
la capacité créatrice par hybridation des individus et des groupes,
incorporant des influences exogènes dans la pluralité de leurs propres
bagages culturels. Notre méthodologie intègre la création de consortiums
universitaires internationaux, dont le dessein est de favoriser, par une
démarche constructiviste structuraliste, le décentrement des chercheurs.
Cette approche induit la capacité à concilier diversité et partages
culturels, intermédiation, mais aussi transfert des méthodes et
interrogation des concepts, passant par leur déconstruction. Ces travaux
tendent à
démontrer, par ailleurs, que si l’approche géographique du
tourisme peut se nourrir de la
démarche épistémologique interculturelle, elle est aussi à
même de l’enrichir.
Les pédagogies différentes comme objets de recherche en sciences de l’éducation en France : proposition de typologie
Authors: Robbes Bruno Claude
Published: August 2024

Le statut de la pédagogie à l’égard de la science fait débat en sciences de l’éducation, d’où l’intérêt de clarifier comment les pédagogies – notamment différentes – peuvent être étudiées. Après des éléments de problématisation, de définition et de méthodologie, nous présentons des classifications des recherches de pédagogie repérées dans la littérature scientifique francophone. Puis, adoptant une perspective historique, nous proposons et présentons une typologie distinguant, en France, trois types de recherches à propos des pédagogies différentes : les recherches « sur » les pédagogies et les pédagogues, « par » les pédagogues et « avec » les pédagogues en précisant, dans le cadre du dernier type, ce que nous entendons par « recherche-action de pédagogie ». Enfin, nous traitons des complémentarités ou des hybridations de ces types de recherches.
L’acte de narration : archéologie d’une méthode de recherche
Authors: Lanoix Alexandre
Published: August 2024

Depuis plusieurs années, nombre de recherches ont été menées au Québec et ailleurs dans le monde avec l’objectif de caractériser le contenu et la structure des représentations historiques des élèves. Plusieurs de ces recherches reposent sur la méthode dite de l’« acte de narration » qui demande aux répondant⋅e⋅s, presque toujours des élèves, de s’exprimer librement sur l’histoire de leur pays. Bien qu’elle compte des avantages indéniables, cette méthode comporte aussi des limites qui méritent d’être nommées et mesurées. L’article propose un tour d’horizon et une réflexion sur les limites de ce type de recherche à travers des exemples tirés des 20 dernières années.

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Concurrent with Amyloidosis: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Wajpeyi Ketki Rajesh , Vagha Sunita Jayant , Kharche Kaustubh Vilasrao
Published: August 2024

Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a neoplasm of lymphoid tissue. Histopathological examination with evidence of Reed-Sternberg cells in the background of inflammatory cells combined with immunohistochemistry for specific markers is confirmatory in order to diagnose Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Amyloidosis is a protein misfolding disorder characterised by amyloid deposition in various organs. Diagnosis involves histochemical examination using Congo red, which is a special stain. It is a rare phenomenon to witness both pathologies concurrently in a single patient. It is very challenging as it involves intricate diagnostic, therapeutic, as well as prognostic implications for the patient. Here, a case of a 45-year-old female who presented clinically with a painful swelling on the right-side of the neck. Thorough investigations confirmed the diagnosis of Hodgkin’s lymphoma coupled with amyloidosis. The patient was given chemotherapy for Hodgkin’s lymphoma but was simultaneously closely monitored for any complications or side-effects related to amyloidosis. Additionally, a novel therapy approach was structured for treating amyloidosis. Thus, it highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for the diagnosis, management, and prognosis for such patients. To gain a deeper understanding of this specific relationship and ultimately improve the prognosis of the patients, additional research is extremely crucial.
A Study on Motivational Factors and the Constraints Faced by Distance Learners of ODL Certificate Course Tea Cultivation Technology
Authors: A Bharathwaaj. , P Balasubramaniam. , N Sriram. , M Nirmala Devi. , R Gangai Selvi.
Published: August 2024

Purpose and Scope: The purpose of this study is to explore the motivational factors that influence distance learners to enrol in the ODL Certificate Course in Tea Cultivation Technology, as well as to identify the constraints they face during the learning process. The scope of this study encompasses a detailed analysis of the personal, social, economic and educational motivations of the learners, alongside the challenges related to accessibility, resources, and support systems that may hinder their learning experience.
Research Design: An Ex-post facto research design was used in this research.
Methodology:  This study was carried out in the Nilgiris district and Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu which is one of the major tea growing regions in India. The Tea Cultivation Technology certificate course was purposefully selected for the research because of its popularity among tea growers and its maximum enrolment. Out of 174 learners who have attended this course, 120 respondents were chosen as a sample using Simple random sampling method. A well-structured interview schedule was prepared and the data was collected using personal and telephonic interviews. Frequency and Percentage analysis followed by Garrett ranking were employed to analyse the motivational factors and the constraints of the distant learners.
Results: The findings of this study revealed that the motivational factors behind the learners’ enrolment in the certificate course were determinant factors (course convenience and situational factors), job aspiration, attitude toward ODL courses and attitude toward entrepreneurship. Majority of students (69.17%) indicated a moderate level of determinant factors that affected their choice to enrol in a distance-learning certificate program. Nearly half of the Learners (45.00%) enrolled in the certificate program is for private employment. More than three-fourth of the learners (78.33%) have favourable attitude towards the ODL courses and 63.33 percent have a moderate attitude towards entrepreneurship. The research also highlights significant constraints, such as limited practical classes, monetary constraints, reduced access to resources, technological difficulties, and the struggle to balance education with other responsibilities.
Conclusion: Addressing these constraints is essential for improving the overall effectiveness and accessibility of the ODL certificate course, ultimately leading to better learning outcomes and greater satisfaction among the participants in agricultural and allied sectors. Since the majority of learners had higher level of job aspiration and an entrepreneurial mindset, the provision of financial facilities to launch new businesses may serve as a motivational factor for members of the low-income group to enrol in certificate programmes.
Efficacy of Some Essential Oils against Caryedon serratus (Olivier) – A Storage Pest of Groundnut
Authors: R Aswini , Manideep Sake , Kumar Talapala Sai , S Dinesh Kumar , Rani Chirasani Naga , M Ilakkia , M Indujja , R Anitha
Published: August 2024

A laboratory study evaluated the efficacy of essential oils, particularly camphor oil and peppermint oil, to control groundnut bruchid, Caryedon serratus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in stored peanuts. At a 3% concentration, these oils achieved impressive results, killing all adult bruchids within 24 hours and preventing adult emergence over 45 days. This suggests they have strong fumigant and ovicidal properties. While camphor oil @ 5 ml per Kg also showed some effectiveness, it has low potency compared to other treatments, resulting in only 75 per cent adult mortality and allowing some new adults to emerge. Additionally, the (T1) camphor oil @ 5 ml per Kg treatment led to minor damage to the peanut kernels, unlike the other treatments. This study emphasizes the potential of specific essential oils as natural and eco-friendly alternatives for controlling pests in stored peanuts, aligning well with sustainable agricultural practices.
Exploring Cognitive Factors and Climate Change Mitigation Behaviour among Managers of Tourist Hotel Facilities within Naivasha Sub County, Kenya
Authors: D. N. Kinyanjui , Kieti Damiannah , Kiage Ondabu
Published: August 2024

Cognition of causes, consequences and responses to climate change is considered as an important determinant of decisions made by any organisation on climate change mitigation behaviour (CCMB). There is, however, scant empirical information on the role of cognitive factors on tourist hotel managers’ CCMB. A cross sectional survey was therefore conducted in a stratified random sample of 70 medium to luxury-priced tourist facilities with 182 managers. Data was collected from three managers in each sampled establishment using self-administered questionnaires. A beta regression model was used to establish the role of cognitive factors on CCMB. The study identified efficiency and curtailment practices as two categories of CCMB. In addition, the results revealed that the managers had moderate scores on CCMB. Moreover, the different dimensions of cognitive factors had divergent associations with both categories of CCMB. Cause knowledge was positively associated with both curtailment and efficiency CCMB. Consequence knowledge was negatively associated with curtailment but positively with efficiency practices. Response knowledge had no relationship with curtailment practices but had a positive association with efficiency CCMB. Findings indicate that policy frameworks to enhance CCMB among key decision-makers need to integrate cognition of climate change as a critical factor that can be improved through training and awareness creation efforts.

Published: August 2024

French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) is an important leguminous vegetable grown throughout the world. Both green fleshy pods and dry seeds are used for consumption purpose. Being a meat of the poor, the crop is widely grown in India. In spite of having lot of importance, this crop suffers from poor yield resulting from very old and local varieties being grown by the farmers in North Eastern Region. It was the need of the hours to introduce some high yielding, stress tolerant varieties newly developed elsewhere. In view of this an investigation was undertaken at the Department of Horticulture, AAU, Jorhat on eighteen (18) french bean genotypes received from All India Coordinated Research Project on Vegetable crops. The research work involved conduct of 3 station trials, 3 state zonal trials in Assam, multilocation trials throughout the country. The trials were conducted following Randomized Block Design with three replications. The data were collected on yield and its attributes. Field observations were also made on incidence of rust and bacterial blight. In station and zonal trials, among all genotypes, Arka Anup and Arka Subidha were found to be better for green pod yield ranging from 95 – 110 q/ha. The multilocation trials conducted in different national centres exhibited average pod yield of 149.1 q/ha in Arka Anup and 141.9 q/ha in Arka Subidha. On an average there was 20 – 25% yield increase over the best check variety ‘Contender’. Arka Anup was a flat poded variety whereas Arka Subidha was a round poded variety. The edible green pods were getting ready for picking at 60 - 70 days after sowing. Field observation on incidence of diseases indicated resistance reaction to rust and bacterial blight in both these varieties. In the national level also they have been found better and hence released and notified by the Central Seed Sub Committee for different states of the country covering North, Central and South India. Considering yield performance and other desirable characteristics, extensive cultivation of these varieties may be done in Assam and better performing states also.

Tuberose is a popular flower crops with a unique place in loose flower as well as cut flower category. It is a key component used in the creation of premium perfumes. Tuberose productivity is reducing due to lot of pest and disease attacks. Tuberose flower is affected by many fungal, bacterial and viral diseases. It affects the growth and lead to losses in the flower yield of the tuberose. Common diseases of tuberose are stem rot, blossom blight, peduncle blight, Alternaria leaf spot, flower blight, Sclerotium wilt, flower bud rot and anthracnose. Chemical compounds have been used to control plant diseases at large scale, they do not increase the yield of the crops and instead it protects the crops from the harmful foreign invasion. The development of safer and environmentally feasible plant disease control has become a top priority. In this regard, biological control becomes an urgently needs for modern agriculture. The bio-agents aid in both disease management and crop yield enhancement. Therefore, the use of bio-agents for management of tuberose diseases is the intense research area in recent years.

Ashwagandha or Indian Ginseng (Withania somnifera) is a very high-demanded medicinal plant of India which is used in Indian traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha. Recently, Ashwagandha is found a novel alternative in the field of oncology due the presence of “Withanolide A” and “Withaferin A” alkaloids which have cancer-killing properties, however, it has multifarious uses. In India, there is huge gap between demand (7000 tonnes annual) and supply (1500 tonnes annual) of Ashwagandha which leads to encourage farmers for commercial cultivation. In addition, there are so many Mandarin and Kinnow orchards has been established in the South-Eastern region of Rajasthan and Ashwagandha cultivation in monoculture. Hence, we tried to find out the best suitable Ashwagandha variety under two agroforestry systems for its practical and economical feasibility. This experiment on tree intercrop interference study was conducted at Instructional Farm, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar under Agriculture University, Kota, Rajasthan using four improved varieties of Ashwagandha i.e., JA-20, JA-134, RVA-100 and AA-1 (Factor A) and Mandarin and Kinnow based agroforestry systems and sole Ashwagandha cropping system (Factor B) in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) to know the best tree crop interaction or combination for growth, yield, and quality traits along with economic feasibility. The JA-20 variety was performed better than other three varieties of Ashwagandha for shoot morphological traits, however, JA-134 variety found better than JA-20 variety for root traits as well as yield traits. In case of quality parameters of Ashwagandha, the highest Withanolides content was observed in RVA-100 variety followed by JA-134 variety because of genetic constituent. In case of cropping systems, the Mandarin based agroforestry system proved superior to the Kinnow based agroforestry system for Ashwagandha production. The highest benefit cost (B:C) ratio (5.87) recorded in JA-134 variety of ashwagandha grown under Mandarin based agroforestry system, however it was lowest in RVA-100 variety of ashwagandha grown sole cropping system. The B:C ratio of four varieties ranged from 5.71 to 5.87 under Mandarin based agroforestry system, from 4.00 to 4.11 under Kinnow based agroforestry system and from 2.31 to 2.60 of sole ashwagandha cropping system. JA-134 variety of Ashwagandha is recommended to farmers of South-Eastern region of Rajasthan to grow in Mandarin based agroforestry system. This Agroforestry System will provide annually 5.87-fold economic benefits and around Rupees 5 lacs net return from one hectare land.

Rice is the way of life, culture and staple food for the people of the NEH Region. Terrace farming is the only practical solution for hilly agricultural land. This study seeks to estimate the cost and returns and resource-use efficiency in Senapati district of Manipur. Using a probability proportional to size sampling technique, 90 farmers from two blocks were surveyed for the study. The results of cost structure analysis revealed that the total cost of cultivation on per hectare basis was estimated at ₹45662.20, ₹47119.94 and ₹46083.33 in marginal, small and overall farms respectively in which hired human labour accounted for about 53.63 and 45.16 per cent of the total cost of cultivation on marginal and small farms. Analysis revealed that terrace rice farming was profitable activity with output-input ratio of 1.23, 1.24 and 1.23 on marginal, small and overall farms. Cobb-Douglas production function analysis revealed that the regression coefficient for seed and fertilizers in case of marginal farms were found to be positive and significant. In small farms seed, plant protection chemicals and human labour turned out to show positive and significant effect on yield. The resource use efficiency analysis revealed that the inputs such as fertilizers and human labour were underutilized in overall farms. Seed and fertilizers were underutilized in marginal farms and seed, plant protection chemicals and human labour were underutilized in small farms. The deviations from the optimal level of resource use resulted in low productivity and inefficiency of various inputs. Research efforts should be focused on this area in order to maximize yield through more effective use of significant inputs.

Published: August 2024

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global health challenge, affecting millions of people worldwide. Globally, HBV prevalence is 3.2% and in Nigeria, the rate is 8.1%.
Aim: To determine the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen and how certain demographics affect the distribution of the infection.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 392 individuals in three LGA in Rivers State who gave their consents to participate in the project, their samples were taken and aseptically worked on using HBsAg rapid diagnostic kit and then statistically analyzed using SPSS version 28, which gave the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis test.
Result: The result based on demographics shows that in the age group analysis, those aged 40-50 have a higher prevalence (8.2%), while females have a lower rate (2.5%) than males (7.1%). No significant differences appear in marital status, education, or age groups. However, the test on occupation reveals a significant difference (P=0.001), with teachers having the lowest prevalence (2.2%) and applicants the highest (15.8%). The significant difference in HBsAg prevalence between males and females (P=0.028) was seen.
Conclusion: Having completed this study it has been revealed that only gender and occupation have an impact in HBsAg sero-prevalence, and targeted interventions may be needed, particularly focusing on occupations and sex with higher prevalence rates.
Axisymmetric circulation driven by marginal heating in ice‐covered lakes

Published: April 2015

Below the temperature of maximum density (TMD) in freshwater lakes, heating at the lateral margins produces gravity currents along the bottom slope, akin to katabatic winds in the atmosphere and currents on continental shelves. We describe axisymmetric basin‐scale circulation driven by heat flux at the shorelines in polar Lake Kilpisjärvi. A dense underflow originating near the shore converges toward the lake center, where it produces warm upwelling and return flow across the bulk of lake water column. The return flow, being subject to Coriolis force, creates a lake‐wide anticyclonic gyre with velocities of 2–4 cm s‐1. While warm underflows are common on ice‐covered lakes, the key finding is the basin‐scale anticyclonic gyre with warm upwelling in the core. This circulation mechanism provides a key to understanding transport processes in (semi) enclosed basins subject to negative buoyancy flux due to heating (or cooling at temperatures above TMD) at their lateral boundaries.
Conjugate volcanic rifted margins, seafloor spreading, and microcontinent: Insights from new high‐resolution aeromagnetic surveys in the Norway Basin

Published: April 2015

We have acquired and processed new aeromagnetic data that cover the entire oceanic Norway Basin located between the Møre volcanic rifted margin and the Jan Mayen microcontinent (JMMC). The new compilation allows us to revisit the structure of the conjugate volcanic (rifted) margins and the spreading evolution of the Norway Basin from the Early Eocene breakup time to the Late Oligocene when the Aegir Ridge became extinct. The volcanic margins (in a strict sense) that formed before the opening of the Norway Basin have been disconnected with the previous Jurassic‐Mid‐Cretaceous episode of crustal thinning. We also show evidence of relationships between the margin architecture, the breakup magmatism distribution along the continent‐oceanic transition, and the subsequent oceanic segmentation. The Norway Basin shows a complex system of asymmetric oceanic segments locally affected by episodic ridge jumps. The new aeromagnetic compilation also confirms that a fan‐shaped spreading evolution of the Norway Basin was clearly active before the cessation of seafloor spreading and extinction of the Aegir Ridge. An important Mid‐Eocene kinematic event at around magnetic chron C21r can be recognized in the Norway Basin. This event coincides with the onset of diking and increasing rifting activity (and possible oceanic accretion?) between the proto‐JMMC and the East Greenland margin. It led to a second phase of breakup and microcontinent formation in the Norwegian‐Greenland Sea ~26 Myrs later in the Oligocene.
