Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 40(4): 334- 339. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-40.4.334339 This study was carried out during the period 2020-2021, to produce virus-free propagation material from Halwani cultivar of grape infected with Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3), by using the meristem tip culture technique together with thermal and chemical treatments. The meristem tip of 500 micrometers was excised from infected plants and placed on 1/2 MS medium which contains 0.5 mg/l BAP and 30 g/l sucrose. Virus presence or absence was confirmed by the ELISA test (DAS-ELISA). Results showed that the highest Percentage of virus free plantlets (87.67%) was obtained from the combined treatment, whereas the thermal treatment resulted in the lowest percentage of virus-free plants (56.25%). The results obtained also showed the significant superiority of using meristem-tip culture compared with all other treatments in terms of percent growing plants, which reached 98.13%. This study indicated that there were negative effects of all treatments on plant elongation, especially the thermal treatment, which gave the least plant growth elongation (0.33 cm).

Published: January 2023

С целью снижения материальных затрат выбран простой и экономичный метод, не предусматривающий использования тензодатчиков, не востребованный к практической реализации из-за высокого разброса определяемой характеристики и её нестабильности. Метод основан на трёхточечном поперечном изгибе образцов с замером прогиба под точкой приложения нагрузки. Модуль сдвига вычислен двумя способами. Испытания проводили на изотропном и трёх типах композитных материалов с разными схемами армирования. Контроль результатов осуществляли в ходе испытаний аналогичных образцов на растяжение и изгиб другим апробированным методом. Установлены основные факторы, препятствующие получению стабильных и достоверных значений модулей сдвига, одним из которых является отсутствие учёта угловых перемещений поперечных сечений образца при расчёте искомых характеристик. Показано, что оба способа дают очень заниженные значения модулей сдвига как для изотропного, так и для композитных материалов с весьма существенным разбросом, что не позволяет в представленном виде использовать рассматриваемый метод для практического применения без корректировки. Установлено, что прогиб под точкой приложения нагрузки определяется углами поворота сечений образца и длиной пролёта, а его значение равно произведению максимального угла поворота сечения на одну треть длины пролёта. Показано, что при учёте выявленных факторов и некоторой корректировке данный метод пригоден для определения модулей сдвига как первым, так и вторым способом, как изотропного, так и композитных материалов.

Published: January 2023

Впервые выполнен анализ распределения температурных напряжений, возникших в слоистом керамическом диске ZrB2— SiC—ZrO2 при его изготовлении, с применением численных и аналитических методов. Численное моделирование реализовано методом конечных элементов с учетом зависимости свойств компонентов композита от температуры. Распределение остаточных напряжений поперек слоев имеет пилообразный характер, в котором напряжения принимают как отрицательные, так и положительные значения. Предложено новое аналитическое решение, основанное на упрощенной одномерной постановке задачи для центральной части диска. Это решение показало, что уровень остаточных напряжений определяется не только значениями коэффициентов термического расширения и двухосных модулей упругости соединенных материалов, но также толщиной и расположением слоев. Результаты полученного аналитического решения хорошо согласуются с результатами численного моделирования. Показано, что для оценок остаточных напряжений в слоистом композите в предположении, что свойства составляющих композита не зависят от температуры, целесообразнее брать термомеханические характеристики при высокой температуре, а не комнатной или средней температуре. Приведены результаты оценки влияния пористости на значения остаточных напряжений в слоистом керамическом композите. Установлено, что учет пористости приводит к уменьшению остаточных напряжений только в тех слоях, в которых она введена. Результаты исследования представляют основу для выполнения анализа остаточных напряжений для слоистых композитов разного состава и конкретных инженерных приложений.
NURCHOLISH MADJID ON INDONESIAN ISLAMIC EDUCATION: A HERMENEUTICAL STUDY
Authors: Safitri Lis , Manshur Fadlil Munawwar , Thoyyar Husni
Published: January 2023

Indonesian Muslims need a well-established Islamic education that can accommodate diversity as the characteristic of Indonesia. Nurcholish Madjid (1939-2005), a neo-Modernist, has an inclusive and philosophical Islamic thought that can be used as the philosophical paradigm of Indonesian Islamic education. This study intends to interpret the thinking of Nurcholish Madjid related to Islamic education using Hans Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic model. This study shows that knowledge is a manifestation of ‘aql, one of human potential as khalīfah. Cak Nur’s objective of Islamic education is divided into four categories that led to the awareness of human existence as God’s servant and khalīfah. The model of Cak Nur’s education is humanistic education which focuses on moral education. The multicultural education of Cak Nur, which comes from the generic meaning of Islam, is tolerance education to the diversity of religions, religious understanding, and the acceptance of local wisdom. Cak Nur's educational thinking is not a practical theory, but a philosophical foundation that is easily accepted by people with the epistemology of burhānī thought.
The Family Background and Cultural Landscapes of Youth in Banda Aceh: An Ethnographic Account
Authors: Bustamam Ahmad Kamaruzzaman , Ibrahim Fitri Zulfidar
Published: January 2023

This article examines the background of youth families in Banda Aceh and their views on issues related to radicalism in Indonesia. Studying radicalism among youth is essential to understand their thoughts on societal problems often associated with radicalism issues. There is a view that youth is the target of changes in understanding and religious and social behavior from groups that claim to be radicalized. Therefore, the understanding and perspective of youth will be beneficial to see the issue of social-religious movements in Aceh. This study is based on an ethnographic study in which the author conducted several interviews in Banda Aceh and several areas in Aceh province. In addition to conducting a bibliographical study, the authors conducted in-depth interviews to understand the informants' backgrounds. To find out their views on the issues in the radicalism movement, the author conducted an FGD with several youths. This study found three youth groups in the study of Islamic movements in Aceh: A first group is an underground group, which is not so visible among the younger generation of Muslims, but among activists of Islamic organizations and specific figures who continue to make upgrades. A second group is a group that prioritizes the power of social media and always carries out a process of religious discussion and responds to any current issues related to "threats to Islam." Third, those who have good relationships with various religious and community leaders. This study will undoubtedly provide meaningful input for academics and policymakers in understanding and dealing with the problem of radicalism among youth.

Published: January 2023

The MUI fatwa serves as an answer to issues of Islamic law related to socio-religious issues in Indonesia. The fatwa comes through the ijtihad of the scholars so that it has legal authority so that Muslims have solutions to problems that arise. The article aims to examine Islamic law and social media which focuses on the MUI fatwa Number 24/2017 concerning guidelines for mu’āmalah and interacting using digital platforms. This research is sociological legal research that examines the function of law that works in social reality. Sociologically, the law functions as a tool to control and manipulate and change society for the better. The results of the study show that the MUI fatwa is a practical guideline for the use of social media, social interaction guidance, content verification guidelines, content creation, and content dissemination. So that ghibah, namīmah, intimidation, and hate speech will not occur. From the perspective of sociological law, the fatwa serves to provide guidance in social interaction so that society can be engineered and changed in a better direction. Thus, the fatwa as part of Islamic law is able to carry out its function as social control of society so that social media is used properly and usefully.

Authors: Aprilianda Nurini , Farikhah Mufatikhatul , Krisna Liza Agnesta
Published: January 2023

This article was written based on the results of research discussing finding the right choice of norms in solving the problem of sexual violence against children in Aceh because currently there are two legal norms that regulate similar offenses, namely the Child Protection Act or the Jinayat Law Qanun. Whereas children as victims of sexual violence not only have an impact on physical trauma but also experience psychological trauma which can cause mental disorders. The writing of this article uses empirical legal research methods. Data collection techniques used are interviews and literature reviews to find reasons why different laws apply to the same case. Data for the last 3 (three) years shows that until now law enforcers have not been consistent in applying the law to solving these problems. This is due to differences in views between law enforcers regarding the position and nature of the two legal norms. Therefore, the principle of systematic lex specialist is very important as a basis for law enforcement in determining the right choice of law for the settlement of these cases.

Abstract: Sleep is a necessary component of the human lifestyle. A growing number of studies have focused on the relationship between sleep and hypertension in recent years. Sleep health plays a role in the pathophysiology of hypertension, but because of the complexity of the relationship, it can be challenging to pinpoint specific sleep abnormalities linked to blood pressure elevation at the epidemiological level as well as the level of a given patient. According to the available evidence, poor sleep conditions may be an important risk factor in the pathophysiological abnormalities of hypertension and related comorbid states. According to ambulatory blood pressure studies, even minor increases in blood pressure, particularly at night, are associated with significant increases in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. As a result, sleep-related diseases that cause blood pressure increases are expected to impact cardiovascular risk significantly. Insomnia and sleep deprivation have been linked to an increase in the incidence and prevalence of hypertension. Sleep influences autonomic nervous system function and other physiologic events that affect blood pressure. Although current evidence suggests a strong link between sleep duration and hypertension, the relationship between sleep quality and hypertension needs to be investigated further. Unfortunately, the regularity and underlying mechanism of sex differences in sleep quality and hypertension remain unknown due to differences in geography, population, confounding factors, or methods. The current evidence suggests that the link between poor sleep quality and hypertension is stronger in women than in men. Furthermore, sleep disorders alter the BP response and raise the risk of hypertension. Recent research on the effects of sleep and sleep disorders on blood pressure and hypertension will be examined.

Authors: Basheer S. Mohamed , R. Karthikeyan  , K. Krishnan
Published: January 2023

Inventories exist throughout the supply chain in various forms for various reasons. This paper presents a continuous review two echelon inventory system. The operating policy at the lower echelon is (s, S) that is whenever the inventory level traps to s on order for Q = (S-s) items is placed, the ordered items are received after a random time which is distributed as exponential. We assume that the demands accruing during the stock-out period are partially backlogged. The retailer replenishes their stock from the regular supplier which adopts (0,M) policy, M = n1Q. When the regular supplier stock is empty the replacement of retailer stock made by the outside supplier who adopts (0,N) policy N = n2Q. The joint probability disruption of the inventory levels of retailer, regular supplier and the outside supplier are obtained in the steady state case. Various system performance measures are derived and the long run total expected inventory cost rate is calculated. Several instances of numerical examples, which provide insight into the behavior of the system are presented.
FSC: A Fast Smart Contract Transaction Execution Approach via Read-Write Static Analysis
Authors: Lu Ye , Liu Caihua , Zhao Meng , Duo Xiaodong , Xu Pengfei , Zhou Zhiyuan , Feng Xia
Published: January 2023

Transaction throughput is an important indicator of blockchain
performance. However, many current smart contract virtual machines have
low efficiency in executing smart contract transactions, which results
in low transaction throughput of the blockchain. Some transaction
parallel execution approaches have effectively improved transaction
execution efficiency, but there are still problems such as low
parallelism and large-scale transaction rollbacks. Therefore, we propose
FSC, a fast execution approach for smart contract transactions based on
fine-grained read-write analysis. The key idea is to obtain fine-grained
read-write information from the smart contract compiler, and use this
read-write information to group transactions at the blockchain platform
layer, thereby improving the parallelism of transaction execution. FSC
mainly includes three parts of work: 1) a fine-grained analysis method
for read-write information at the contract state variable level based on
the contract compiler; 2) a series of merging rules for merging
read-write items; 3) a method to handle conflicting transactions. Our
evaluation results show that FSC can accelerate the execution of smart
contract transactions. Compared with before, FSC can reduce the overall
transaction execution latency by 58.1%. In addition, FSC can shorten
the longest execution path by 89.9% when the variation in transaction
grouping latency is within 5.5%.
The role of women in higher education: The connection between the opera artist and the vocal pedagogue in the period of Yugoslav socialism
Authors: Grbovic Vanja
Published: January 2023

The subject of this paper relates to the research on the role of women in
higher education in the context of Yugoslav socialism (1945-1990) with a
focus on creating an opera artist through education and professional
experience to vocal pedagogue at the Faculty of Music in Belgrade. In this
sense, the paper will cover the period in which future primadonnas trained
their voices (1950s), built their domestic and foreign opera careers (from
the 1960s to the 1990s) and then their pedagogical work (from 1990s). For
the purposes of the research, it was necessary to collect and systematize
material that includes biographies and testimonies of primadonnas, from
which conclusions were drawn about vocal music practice, ie. solo singing at
the Faculty of Music, and about the opportunities that education provides to
young students for affirmation in this vocation. The aim of the paper is to
place the life stories of the primadonna of the Belgrade Opera in the
context of the Yugoslav socialist society, with the intention of shedding
light on educational, career and pedagogical development, as well as the
conditions that contributed to their artistic and later pedagogical
vocation.

Published: January 2023

The dark-red spider mite, Tetranychus ludeni Zacher (Acari: Tetranychidae),
is a highly polyphagous species and an important pest of economic plants
belonging to the families Cucurbitaceae, Malvaceae, Fabaceae and Solanaceae,
and growing in tropical and subtropical regions. In the Western Palaearctic,
its distribution reports have recently come mostly from the Mediterranean
Basin, i.e. Portugal, Spain, Italy and Israel. In a survey conducted in
Serbia 2019-2021 (comprising 159 sampling locations), T. ludeni was found at
89 locations on 27 plant species of the families Rosaceae (8), Solanaceae
(6), Cucurbitaceae (4), Fabaceae (2), Amaranthaceae (2), Asteraceae (2),
Apiaceae (1), Convolvulaceae (1) and Poaceae (1). The dark-red spider mite
was found in mixed populations with other spider mites (mostly Tetranychus
urticae and T. turkestani) in around half of the sampling locations. Heavy
infestation and visible symptoms of injury were observed in several
locations. Three Rosaceae plant species, plum (Prunus domestica), blackthorn
(Prunus spinosa) and crab apple (Malus sylvestris) were its new hosts.
Serbian records of T. ludeni from locations situated at latitudes between
42?N and 46?N were the northernmost distribution records of this species in
the Western Palaearctic.
Numerical study on the performance of adsorption refrigeration system with finned bed structure paired with MOF-water as working fluid
Authors: Liu Zhongbao , Li Shijie , Zhao Banghua , Sun Han
Published: January 2023

A single-bed finned tube adsorption refrigeration system model was established to compare the adsorption characteristics of three metal organic framework materials, MIL-101(Cr), MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl2-10%, MIL-101(Cr)/ CaCl2-20%. The change of material properties under different thickness/length/number of fins was characterized, and the most suitable adsorption bed structure for different materials was obtained. The results show that the number of fins has little effect on the COP and specific cooling power of the material in the system. Choosing thinner fins can improve the COP of the system. With the increase of fin height, the COP showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. The three materials, MIL-101(Cr), MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl2-10%, MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl2-20%, obtained the highest COP when the fin heights were 50 mm, 60 mm, and 70 mm, respectively. The maximum specific cooling power was obtained when the fin heights were 20 mm, 60 mm, and 70 mm, which were 21.7 W/kg, 90.1 W/kg, and 174.5 W/kg, respectively. The height of the fin has a great influence on the performance of the system. When designing the adsorption bed, the appropriate fin height should be selected for the specific adsorbent.
Smoke detector placement in compartments with honeycomb ceiling: A numerical study
Authors: Zigar Darko , Blagojevic Milan , Pesic Dusica , Bozilov Aca , Nikolic Vlastimir
Published: January 2023

One of the most interesting problems in fire detection system design is the problem referred to as detector position on a ?honeycomb ceiling?, because beams and joists affect stratification of smoke and, consequently, smoke detector response time. The aim of this paper is to determine optimal smoke detector placement on the underside of beams or on the structural slab in the cells. On the basis of rules of standards for smoke detector location, the large eddy simulation method of fire dynamics simulator software package was employed to investigate the effects of ?honeycomb? density on smoke detector response time. The simulation results show that the columns, beams, joists and similar structural elements affect stratification of smoke and, consequently, smoke detector response time. In the case when the honeycomb cells are small, the detectors on the underside of the beams react faster because the smoke does not enter the cells in sufficient quantity to activate the optical smoke detector located on the structural plate in the cells that form the beams. On the basis of the obtained results, a satisfactory solution for most possible situations that could occur in practice has been proposed.

Simplified Meal Announcement versus Precise Carbohydrate Counting in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes using the MiniMed 780G Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop System: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Glucose Control
Authors: Petrovski Goran , Campbell Judith , Pasha Maheen , Day Emma , Hussain Khalid , Khalifa Amel , Heuvel Tim van den
Published: January 2023

  

Objective. We aimed to compare glucose control in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) on MiniMed 780G system that used simplified meal announcement to those that used precise carbohydrate counting. 

Research Design and Methods. This randomized controlled trial included 34 participants (12-18 years) with T1D that were on multiple daily injections or insulin pump and were scheduled to start using MiniMed 780G system at Sidra Medicine, Qatar. After a 7-day run-in period, participants were randomly assigned to the Fix group (simplified meal announcement by preset of 3 personalized fixed carbohydrate amounts) or the Flex group (precise carbohydrate counting) and followed for 12 weeks. Between-group difference in time in range (TIR) was the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included HbA1c and other glycometrics.

Results. During the 12-week study phase, TIR was 73.5±6.7% in the Fix and 80.3±7.4% in the Flex group, with a between-group difference of 6.8% in favor of Flex (p=0.043). Time above 250 mg/dl was better in the Flex group (p=0.012), whereas HbA1c (p=0.168), time below range (p=0.283) and time between 180-250 mg/dL (p=0.114) did not differ. 

Conclusion. Adolescents on the MiniMed 780G system using a preset of 3 personalized fixed carbohydrate amounts can reach international targets of glycemic control. Therefore, it may be a valuable alternative to precise carbohydrate counting in users who are challenged by precise carbohydrate counting. Because carbohydrate counting further improves outcomes, these skills remain important for MiniMed 780G users.

An experiment on induced breeding of Bheda/Meni fish (Nandus nandus) was carried out to determine the optimum dose of pituitary gland hormone during December 2018 to June 2019 at Floodplain Sub-station of Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute (BFRI), Santahar, Bogura. In this experiment, PG was used as inducing agent for both male and female fish. For induced breeding, PG was administered at the rate of 1, 2 and 3 mg/kg body weight to male brood fish, and correspondingly 2, 4 and 6 mg/kg body weight to female brood fish that were considered as the treatments namely, T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Fifty pairs of male and female fish were collected from the Raktadaha beel from where forty-five pairs were selected for induced breeding and the average body weight of the male and female were 43.0±2.5 gm and 55.2±3.0 gm in T1, 45.1±2.9 gm and 56.0±2.8 gm in T2, and 40.3±2.4 gm and 52.6±3.2 gm in T3. The male-female ratio was maintained as 1:1 in the breeding hapa. It was observed that female and male brood fishes ejected eggs and milt, respectively at the contemporary times. Ovulation occurs naturally after 8-10 hours of injection. The fecundity of fish (body weight 45 to 60 gram each) varied from 7,232-27,546. The fertilized eggs were hatched within 16-20 hours. The hatchlings were reared in rearing tank up to 5 days. The fertilization rate of Nandus nandus were 76±4 %, 93±5 % and 57±3 %, in T1, T2, and T3, respectively and the hatching rate were 72±3 %, 86±2 % and 61±4 % in T1,T2 and T3, respectively. Both the fertilization and hatching rates were significantly higher (p<0.05) in T2 treatment than T1 treatment followed by T3 treatment. The mean values of water temperature (°C) were 29.5±1.15, 30.0±2.03 and 30.8±1.76°C, pH was 7.4 ±0.46, 7.8±0.53 and 7.3±0.49 and dissolved oxygen (mg/L) were 5.5±0.61, 5.3±0.24 and 5.8±0.56 in brooder tanks, breeding hapa and larval hapa, respectively during the experiment and did not vary (P>0.05) among them and were suitable for induced spawning of Nandus nandus. Based on the findings of the present experiment, it was revealed that T2 showed the best outcome in terms of fertilization rate (93±5%) and hatching rate (86±2%) among the three treatments under optimum water quality parameters where PG hormone were used at the rate of 2 and 4 mg/kg body weight for male and female fish, respectively. Therefore, the present findings could be used in induced breeding of N. nandus for the development of hatchery propagation. Further trials on rearing or culture of this endangered fish under different stocking densities or feedings might be conducted at on-station and on-farm levels in Bangladesh as well as elsewhere of this region to save the fish from extinction or for its conservation and rehabilitation.
