Automatic Irrigation Based on Soil Moisture for Vegetable Crops
Authors: Muñoz-Carpena Rafael , Dukes Michael D.
Published: July 2021

Improving irrigation efficiency can contribute greatly to reducing production costs of vegetables, making the industry more competitive and sustainable. Through proper irrigation, average vegetable yields can be maintained (or increased) while minimizing environmental impacts caused by excess applied water and subsequent agrichemical leaching. Recent technological advances have made soil water sensors available for efficient and automatic operation of irrigation systems. Automatic soil water sensor-based irrigation seeks to maintain a desired soil water range in the root zone that is optimal for plant growth. This document is AE354, one of a series of the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, UF/IFAS Extension.

Floriculture New Crop Update - Report from California Pack Trials 2003
Authors: Schoellhorn Rick , Richardson Alexis A.
Published: July 2021

Pack trials are industry events held in early April each year highlighting the new releases in flowering crops for each year. This is an industry event and, generally, not open to the public. Most of the exhibiting companies are not familiar names to the average consumer because by the time the plant is sold at a retail nursery it is tagged by the nursery that produces it, not by the breeder company that created or released the plant. For that reason consumers should use the name of the plant when looking to buy plants listed here, while nurseries should contact their distributors and use the company name to get the correct source. This document is ENH899, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

A Threshold for Timing Applications of IGRs to Manage the Silverleaf Whitefly and Irregular Ripening on Tomato
Authors: Schuster David J.
Published: July 2021

The silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring, has been the major pest of tomatoes in South Florida since 1988 (Schuster et al. 1989). The insect causes losses indirectly through the transmission of plant viruses, including Tomato mottle virus and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus in Florida (Simone et al. 1990, Polston et al. 1999). Feeding, primarily by nymphs, has been associated with an irregular ripening (IRR) disorder of fruit (Schuster et al. 1990, Schuster 2002). The disorder is characterized externally by inhibited or incomplete ripening of longitudinal sections of fruit and internally by an increase in the amount of white tissue. No foliar symptoms are apparent. This document is ENY705, a publication of the Entomology and Nematology Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Serivce, IFAS, University of Florida.

Orange Spiny Whitefly, Aleurocanthus spiniferus Quaintance (Insecta: Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)
Authors: Gyeltshen Jamba , Hodges Amanda , Hodges Greg S.
Published: July 2021

Orange spiny whitefly, Aleurocanthus spiniferus Quaintance, is a native pest of citrus in tropical Asia. In the early 1920s, pest outbreak infestation levels caused Japan to begin a biological control program. Primarily, orange spiny whitefly affects host plants by sucking the sap but it also causes indirect damage by producing honeydew and subsequently promoting the growth of sooty mold. Sooty mold is a black fungus that grows on honeydew. Heavy infestations of orange spiny whitefly, or other honeydew-producing insects such as scales, mealybugs, aphids, and other whitefly species, can cause sooty mold to completely cover the leaf surface and negatively affect photosynthesis. This document is EENY-341, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The methods used are analysis and synthesis of research indicators, mathematical approaches for their evaluation based on the solution of systems of equations. The following results were obtained. According to the analysis and synthesis, the shortcomings of the above partial cost-effectiveness indicators were identified, Optimization of modifications on this indicator gives the maximum economic effect. Taking into account this circumstance, to assess the cost-effectiveness of modifications of transport aircraft, models have been developed that allow determining the cost of LC modifications with a variant change of the modified parameters, such as takeoff mass, flight performance, declared resource, etc., which are laid before modification. making conceptual decisions when creating it. Five modifications of a light transport aircraft are considered, in which such parameters as take-off mass and flight performance were changed. It is accepted that the change in takeoff mass is associated with an increase in the transported cargo, and the change in flight performance - with an increase in range from 2000 to 4000 km. Based on mathematical approaches for estimating existing partial and newly introduced integrated indicators, these five possible modifications of light transport aircraft are analyzed. There is a clear inadequacy in assessing the effectiveness of the developed options for partial and integrated indicators of their effectiveness. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is as follows: a method for estimating the total cost of LC modifications of transport category aircraft, taking into account the characteristic parameters of the modification: flight performance in the form of the characteristic "cargo - range"; the declared resource of modification, and also partial criteria, such as cost of air-hour of air transportation; the cost of transportation of 1 ton of cargo per 1 kilometer; full cost per flight of a transport category aircraft. The proposed method has significantly expanded the information based on which decisions can be made on the competitiveness of various modifications.

Authors: Hu Zheng
Published: July 2021

According to the requirements of the aerospace industry for high strength, high stiffness, and lightweight structural parts, topology optimization has been proved to be an effective product design method. As one of the most conceptual and prospective structural optimization design methods, topology optimization intends to seek the optimal layout of materials in an allowed design region under a given load and boundary conditions. Thus, the object of study in the article is the method of topological optimization of aircraft structures. The goal of this article is to analyze the existing approaches, algorithms, as well as application of the method of topological optimization in the aerospace field in applied problems. The tasks are to describe the existing various approaches methods, features, and research directions of topological optimization as well as to study the possibility of application in the manufacturing process of composite structures. The following results were obtained. The optimization methods are briefly explained and compared, and the advantages and limitations of each approach are discussed. The various ways of simultaneous optimization of fiber orientation and structural topology were described and analyzed. The features of different methods of continuous fiber orientation optimization method were reviewed. The discrete fiber orientation optimization methods were represented. The possibility of multi-scale concurrent topological optimization was described. The combination of topology optimization and additive manufacturing was considered. Finally, the topology optimization of FRC structures which have been resolved in literature are reviewed and the potential research fields requiring more investigation are pointed out. Conclusions. In the article, a comprehensive review of the topology optimization design of FRC structures was presented. The promising way is to combine topology optimization with additive manufacturing techniques. However, these proposed methods may not suitable for other more complex problems, such as bucking stability and natural frequency. Hence, the topology optimization design of complex FRC components under complicated conditions is the main challenge in the future. This can be a new trend in the topology design of FRC structures.

Authors: Efranto Bagus Harning , - Soehartono - , Handoko Edi -
Published: July 2021

AbstractIntroduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignancy arising from the nasopharyngeal epithelium, usually present in the Rosenmüller fossa. NPC is a cancer of the head and neck that is most common in East Asia and Southeast Asia, including in Indonesia. The main therapeutic for NPC is radiotherapy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy reduces the local spread of advanced NPC, eradication of micrometastases, and improved local control. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy's effectiveness can be assessed by changes in the patient's neck nodule size (N), the patient's Body Mass Index (BMI), and Karnofsky's Status. Aim: To determine the correlation between N with BMI and Karnofsky status on neoadjuvant chemotherapy Cisplatin and 5-Fu in WHO type 3 of NPC patients. Methods: This study was an analytical observational study using medical record data. In this study, an assessment of N, BMI and Karnofsky status of NPC WHO type 3 patients who had undergone neoadjuvant chemotherapy using the Cisplatin and 5-Fu regimen for three cycles. Twenty-three study subjects were analyzed for N, BMI and Karnofksy status changes while undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy for up to 3 cycles. Result: The N value decreased, p = 0.001. BMI value decreased, p = 0.615. Karnofsky's status value experienced insignificant changes, p = 0.564. The correlation between N and BMI before a cycle I neoadjuvant chemotherapy and three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy obtained r = -0.201 and p = 0.358, respectively; r = -0.070 and p = 0.751. Correlation of N with Karnofsky status was obtained r = 0.155 and p = 0.480, before cycle I neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The correlation between N and Karnofsky status was obtained r = 0.571 and p = 0.004 after cycle III neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy Cisplatin and 5-Fu is effective against changes in N and correlation between N and BMI but less effective in assessing the correlation between N and Karnofsky status after three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Correspondence should be addressed to Bagus Harning Efranto; bagushe16@gmail.com

The paper focuses on Bobbio's argument against the possibility and the usefullness of human rights foundation/justification. This argument is criticized from both an external and the internal point of view. First, the Author questions the identification between finding a conclusive foundation for human rights and justifying human rights, since it causes a complete deny of the role of theory in understanding human rights as well as in giving them a precise content and a legal form. Then the Author argues that (i) justification of rights is implied by their judicial application and evolution; (ii) some important points in Bobbio's thought the meaning attached to crucial notion, such as equality and liberty, the link between rights, peace and democracy need the importance of theory is defended.
La disciplina dei militari impegnati all'estero in missioni umanitarie: in margine al caso Lozano
Authors: Nigro Raffaella
Published: July 2021

- In the well-known Lozano case, an Italian intelligence agent, Mr Nicola Calipari, remained killed in 2005 by an American soldier, Mr Mario Luis Lozano, while entering a US checkpoint on the way to the Baghdad airport soon after securing the release of an Italian journalist from Iraqi kidnappers. In the ensuing case, Italian courts addressed a number of sensitive questions, including that of jurisdiction over national troops involved, directly or indirectly, in so-called "humanitarian missions" abroad. Italian courts did have jurisdiction over the killing under Italian domestic law. Indeed, the murder of Mr Calipari can be regarded as a "political crime" under Article 8 of the Italian penal code. On such a premise, the question is whether Article 8 was superseded by a customary international law rule under Article 10 of the Italian Constitution aimed at excluding jurisdiction over Mr Lozano. State practice suggests that neither a customary rule on the exclusive jurisdiction of the sending State (as claimed by the Court of Assise of Rome in 2007) nor a customary rule on Mr Lozano's functional immunity (as claimed by the Court of Cassation in 2008) are established in customary international law. Rather, State practice reveals that a number of States are likely to recognize immunity from jurisdiction to the armed forces only in certain specific circumstances. Moreover, such immunity is quite different from the functional immunity traditionally enjoyed by diplomatic and consular agents, as well as from the immunities enjoyed by other high-ranking State officials, such as the Head of State, the Head of Government and the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Le officine progettuali S-POT: laboratori per il design di servizi socioeducativi
Authors: Deluigi Rosita
Published: July 2021

Nella progettazione di percorsi di orientamento formativo e professionalizzante per gli studenti dei corsi di laurea in Scienze dell'educazione e della formazione (L-19) e di Scienze pedagogiche (LM-85) risulta irrinunciabile il dialogo con i servizi per costruire traiettorie di riflessività, esplicitando l'intenzionalità sottesa agli interventi attuati. Il contributo descrive una proposta realizzata nell'a.a. 2019/2020 nell'ambito del progetto SUPER – "Percorsi di Orientamento e Tutorato per promuovere il successo universitario e professionale" e configurata in modalità on line durante la fase 2 del Covid-19. L'esperienza "S-POT: officine progettuali" ha permesso agli studenti di confrontarsi con professionisti che operano in contesti educativi, condividendo riflessioni critiche con i propri docenti. In seguito, i partecipanti, con il supporto delle senior tutor, hanno lavorato in piccolo gruppo con l'obiettivo di proporre un'idea progettuale da sottoporre alle équipe incontrate. Questa iniziativa ha offerto la possibilità di entrare nell'eterogeneo mondo dei servizi che si interroga, cercando risposte innovative, a fronte dei cambiamenti costanti. In tal modo, sono emerse le diverse prefigurazioni professionali degli studenti e la concretezza plurale dei profili di educatori e di coordinatori pedagogici inseriti in équipe multidisciplinari. L'attraversamento di vari ambiti lavorativi ha dato voce alle molteplici sfide del sociale, facendo affiorare la vitalità dell'agire educativo e lanciando ponti di apprendimento condiviso.
Contenuti core di un Corso di studi e gestione dei colloqui individuali di orientamento
Authors: Torlone Francesca
Published: July 2021

Il colloquio individuale di orientamento si configura come un percorso che lo studente, tradizionale e non, intraprende dal momento in cui incontra un docente nella fase di accoglienza fino all'ultimo dei colloqui che realizza prima del conseguimento della certificazione finale. Il percorso è segnato da colloqui ciclici, svolti con docenti diversi e nei vari momenti che attraversano il processo di orientamento del singolo studente. Ogni colloquio, o meglio ogni "batteria" di colloqui, si inserisce in momenti specifici della vita accademica, personale e professionale della persona. Ognuna di queste "batterie" di colloqui ha propri obiettivi e risultati attesi, volti a consentire allo studente di conseguire i suoi obiettivi di orientamento nel quadro dei contenuti core del CdS-L19. Lo studio che il contributo presenta articola i risultati conseguiti dagli studenti in quattro tappe attraverso cui si sviluppa il processo di orientamento: esplicitazione della domanda di orientamento da parte dello studente; la motivazione e la retention dello studente; la costruzione di una risposta di orientamento pertinente da parte del docente; la valutazione dei progressi realizzati.
Tirocinio e sviluppo professionale degli educatori nella prospettiva della Student Voice
Authors: Bonaiuti Giovanni , Fanni Ludovica
Published: July 2021

Il seguente articolo intende dar spazio all'esperienza del tirocinio curricolare nella prospettiva della Student Voice, sottolineandone l'aspetto altamente formativo. Grazie alla somministrazione di questionari e interviste tra gli studenti del Corso di Laurea in L-19, tra i fattori emersi, spicca il valore che i futuri educatori conferiscono a tutti i momenti del tirocinio, dall'orientamento alla relazione conclusiva. Tra i vari periodi di cui si compone questa esperienza gli studenti avvertono l'esigenza di una maggiore presenza dei momenti precedenti al suo avvio. Nello specifico l'orientamento e la preparazione sono i momenti dei quali gli studenti sentono una necessità più forte, nata dal poco spazio a questi dedicato e dalla volontà di intraprendere il percorso del tirocinio con una maggiore consapevolezza di ciò che questo evento rappresenta per il futuro lavorativo e quindi avere le basi utili alla comprensione di ciò che sarà il loro agire professionale all'interno di un contesto specifico.
Diritto del lavoro e crisi economica: lezioni della storia europea
Authors: Hepple Sir Bob A.
Published: July 2021

- In this lecture, given at the University of Bari on the occasion of the ceremony for the conferral of ad honoris causa degree in law, Bob Hepple suggests lessons that we can draw from the history of labour law in Europe. The most serious economic crisis in the last 70 years is at the center of his analysis. In the author's view, the deep recession, following the banking crisis, presents us with a number of major problems, threatening for the survival of labour law and of social protection developed in Europe since 1945. The author touches upon four of these problems: the growth of mass unemployment; the accelerated expansion of informal, deregulated forms of work outside the scope of labour law and social security; increasing inequality in the labour market; the dangers of nationalism and protectionism.
A che serve lo studio delle relazioni industriali?
Authors: Clarke Linda , Donnelly Eddy , Hyman Richard , Kelly John , McKay Sonia , Moore Sian
Published: July 2021

- This paper, starting from the decision of the Keele University's management to close the internationally renowned Centre for the Industrial Relations and, at the same time, to open a business school, presents a defense of industrial relations, both as an academic field of study, with its analytical and pedagogical value, and as a social and economic practice. In contrast with approaches which are mainly oriented to deliver prescriptive and predefined solutions, often without having a robust knowledge of the phenomenon under exam, industrial relations, with its critical, multi-disciplinary and multi-level approach, as well as a its multi-stakeholder perspective, proves its persisting analytical value and practical relevance to understand and govern the increasingly complex dynamics of labour and employment relationships in contemporary societies. It contributes as well to keep alive democratic citizenship rights at workplace level and in the wider society. In this sense, the defense of industrial relations means to support the reflexive and critical thinking and the academic freedom, traditionally recognized as the practical foundation of intellectual progress and of a healthy democratic life.

PREDICTING FINANCIAL DISTRESS IN MALAYSIA AND ITS EFFECT ON STOCK RETURNS
Authors: Hanafi Ahmad Harith Ashrofie , Md-Rus Rohani , Taufil Mohd Kamarun Nisham
Published: July 2021

Unstable economic conditions have an adverse impact on the financial performance of firms, leading to financial distress, which is an unfavourable situation for investors as it may affect their investment returns. Thus, this study attempted to predict financial distress and to examine the effect of financial distress on stock returns by using firms listed on Bursa Malaysia from 1990 to 2020. This study used the logit model to find the probability of bankruptcy and also as a proxy for financial distress risk in the asset pricing model. From this study, financial distress risk was found to be insignificant in pricing stock returns in all tested models. This finding demonstrates that financial distress risk does not affect stock returns since this risk may be eliminated through diversification.
