The trials were conducted during Kharif, 2015 (E1), Rabi, 2015-16 (E2) (Off-season), Zaid (summer season,) 2016 (E3). The observations were recorded for twenty one traits (14 yield & yield attributing traits and 7 biochemical traits). The present study revealed that the mean squares due to environment + G×E, environment linear, genotype × environment and G×E linear were found significant for all traits except G×E for average fruit weight and G×E linear for flesh thickness. The present investigation revealed that the Kharif and Summer-season favourable for most of the traits studied. The top five stable F1/genotypes on the basis of per se performance, phenotypic index and S2di were Narendra Upkar (P1) × Kashi Harit (P5), NDPK-39-2 (P4) × NDPK-11-3 (P6), Narendra Agrim (P3) × Kashi Harit (P5), Narendra Upcar (P1) × NDPK-120 (P2), NDPK-39-2 (P4) × Kashi Harit (P5) for maturity traits and NDPK-39-2 (P4) × NDPK-11-3 (P6), Narendra Upkar (P1) × Kashi Harit (P5), Narendra Upkar (P1) × NDPAK-120 (P2), Narendra Agrim (P3) × Kashi Harit (P5), Narendra Upkar (P1) ×NDPK-39-2 (P4) for fruit yield per plant, number of fruits per plant and other yield attributes while, crosses namely, P2 × P3, Narendra Upcar (P1) × NDPK-39-2 (P4), NDPK-120 (P2) × Kashi Harit (P5), Narendra Upkar (P1) × NDPK-120 (P2), Narendra Upkar (P1) × Narendra Agrim (P3) for biochemical traits. The present study further revealed that the top five stable genotypes for any of the characters are only F1 rather than either of parental line/varieties which reveals that F1 are more stable than the parental lines/varieties. Hence it can be concluded that F1s are more suitable for stable performance under varying environmental condition than the parental lines/varieties. Thus, F1s should prefer for cultivation under changing/adverse environmental condition for high and stable yield for secure production in future.

Published: October 2023

Onion is main crops in Ethiopian regular nutrition, cultivated year round under rain-fed and irrigated conditions. The low productivity of onion crops in Ethiopia as compared to other onion producing countries was due to disease, insect pest, lack of improved varieties, lower use of improved varieties and improper agronomic practices. A field experiment was conducted at Dambi Dollo University, Ethiopia for two consecutive years (2020 and 2021) under rain-fed to evaluate effect of NPS fertilizer rates on performance of onion varieties. The experiment was laid out using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications in factorial mixture of four levels of NPS fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150 kg ha-1) and three varieties (Adam Red, Monarch and Nafis). Variance Analysis indicated that NPS fertilizer and varieties were expressively affected days to 90% physiological maturity, marketable and unmarketable yield and total bulb yield of onion crop but not significantly influenced by their interaction. The number of leaves per plant and plant height were significantly influenced by main effect of varieties, NPS fertilizer rates and their interaction. The highest values for number of leaves per plant (16.08) recorded at 150 kg ha-1 for Monarch variety. Moreover, days to 90% physiological maturity (134.8 days) and total bulb yield (29.35 t ha-1) were recorded from the highestNPS application rate of 200 kg ha-1. Similarly, the maximum plant height (16.08 cm) and marketable onion bulb yield (26.41 t ha-1) were obtained from 150 kg ha-1 NPS rate. Hence, based the highest marketable onion bulb yield gained, Nafis variety of onion and 150 kg ha-1 of NPS fertilizer should be advised for production in the western part of Oromia, Ethiopia and other areas with similar agro-ecological conditions.

Effect of integrated weed management in cucumber
Authors: Devi H Usha Nandhini , Pugalendhi L
Published: October 2023

1Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is one of the popular vegetable crops of the cucurbitaceae family owing to its uses as a vegetable crop and for its medicinal uses. (Keerthika et al.2016). It is mainly grown for its tender fruits which are used as a salad and for pickling. Fruits act as a coolant and are used in treating jaundice, indigestion and constipation (Mohan et al. 2016). Cucumber faces several production constraints of which competition from weed population for soil, space, water, light and nutrients forces the plant to produce lesser yield. (Osundare et al. 2019) The removal of weed either manually or chemically adds to the cost of cultivation. Manual weeding has been found to be very effective in controlling weed population in cucumber, however, it is very tedious and costlier because of more manpower requirement (Raoand Nagamani 2010).
Association of frost injury with tuber yield components in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Authors: Luthra SK
Published: October 2023

1In north-western and west-central sub-tropical plains of India, frost is known to influence the potato productivity by 10-50% depending upon intensity of frost and crop age. Information on frost tolerance is limited in sub-topical plains (Kang et al. 2007, Luthra et al. 2007) and association of frost injury with tuber yield components is lacking in potato. The tuber yield being complex polygenic trait is determined by interactions among various genetic as well as environmental factors. The genetic parameter gives an idea of the genetic advance to be expected from selection for a character (Johnson et al. 1955). Association among different characters helps in selection of better plant type.

Common Terns have prolonged post-fledging care and our findings support earlier inferences that males perform more of this care than females. This would result in higher costs for males.
Notes on colour aberrations in Common Guillemot Uria aalge and Northern Gannet Morus bassanus
Authors: van Grouw H , Russell S , Merne O
Published: October 2023

Colour aberrations in birds are not uncommon and many observations have been published over the years in the ornithological literature. Unfortunately, ornithol- ogists tend to use descriptive names that refer to the colour of a particular bird with unusual plumage. However this is confusing, as for each species the normal plumage colour varies, and therefore the appearance of any given mutation will be different for each species.
Numbers, distribution and population trends of large gulls breeding in Cumbria, northwest England
Authors: Sellers R , Shackleton B
Published: October 2023

This paper reports the results of a survey of large gulls breeding in Cumbria in 2009, together with an assessment of recent population trends. The survey found totals of 15,489 apparently occupied nests (AON) in 43 colonies for Lesser Black-backed Gulls Larus fuscus, 4,747 AON in 40 colonies for Herring Gulls L. argentatus and 85 AON in seven colonies for Great Black-backed Gulls L. marinus. A substantial part of the populations for all three species was concentrated in a few large coastal colonies, but there were many smaller colonies, mostly of roof-nesting birds in coastal towns, as well as a number of generally small colonies inland, chiefly in quarries or on islands in lakes. Since the 1998–2002 Seabird 2000 census, coastal colonies for all three species have shown a marked reduction in breeding numbers, but increases at those in urban areas; the declines far outweighed the increases, however. Despite the overall downward trend in the breeding population in this period the number of colonies increased. The factors responsible for these changes include the food supply, disturbance by man, and, to a lesser extent, disease.
Advancing Equitable Cataloging
Authors: Watson Brian M.
Published: October 2023

For nearly a century (1933 onwards), catalogers and others have engaged in discussions over the 'ethical' labeling of marginalized subjects in knowledge organization systems (KOS). In order to understand and contextualize contemporary conversations, I undertook a comprehensive review of this literature. The resulting project 1) synthesizes the broader history of these discussions, 2) examines its facets and subdomains, and 3) provides a foundation for the realignment of KO work towards social justice. To achieve these tasks, I replicated and expanded upon a now-unavailable database prepared by Hope A. Olson and Rose Schlegl in 1999. As this database suggests, the literature has expanded fivefold in the last two decades and taken a number of different directions. My analysis of these differences (here called KO 'subdomains') establishes a historiography of critical cataloging movements and a framework from which to understand them. It also demonstrates gaps in the literature, how contemporary authors have abandoned areas of early importance, and how certain subdomains have become nearly independent. Finally, my analysis indicates the insufficiency of a philosophical tradition descended from Ancient Greek Aristotelian “virtue” ethics as a method upon which to base twenty-first century KOS. Instead, I advance the concept of “equitable” knowledge organization and the realignment of KO work towards principals of social justice.
Conceptualizing Slow Curation
Authors: Thielen Joanna , Marsolek Wanda , Narlock Mikala
Published: October 2023

The pressure to do things quickly is a constant in our professional lives as data curators. But what if we slowed down our work? Taking inspiration from the Slow Movement and its various sub-genres, we propose the idea of Slow Curation, specifically for the application of curating research data. Data curation is the process of reviewing datasets to prepare them for sharing, use, and reuse. We have identified areas where Slow can be embraced in the Data Curation Network’s CURATE(D) model. We also advocate for a few ways, outside of curation, where data curators can collaboratively advocate for Slowing down our work for the better. Join us as we practice radical self-care and advocate for our communities by embracing Slow and easing our way out of Busy culture.Positionality Statements:All authors are employed at large and wealthy doctoral granting institutions in the United States.

Invisible dans l’histoire : réflexions sur les femmes acadiennes dans les collections du Centre d’études acadiennes Anselme-Chiasson et du Musée acadien de l’Université de Moncton
Authors: Dupuis Estelle , Cormier Jeanne-Mance , Dupuis Christine
Published: October 2023

« Invisible dans l’histoire » propose une réflexion multidisciplinaire sur la représentation des femmes acadiennes dans les archives et les objets historiques. Sous l’impulsion du Groupe de recherche sur les archives et les femmes en Acadie (GRAFA), le Centre d’études acadiennes Anselme-Chiasson (CEAAC) et le Musée acadien de l’Université de Moncton (MAUM) ont constaté la faible représentation des femmes dans leurs collections. Les intervenantes font part de leurs réflexions et des défis rencontrés quant à la documentation, à la description et à l’interprétation des archives et des objets historiques dans cette nouvelle perspective. Elles s’interrogent également sur le rôle de l’archiviste et du conservateur dans ce processus de valorisation des femmes et sur la dichotomie du genre en vigueur dans les collections. Les initiatives entreprises par le CEAAC et le MAUM pour contrer l’invisibilité des femmes acadiennes dans leurs collections marquent le début d’une ère nouvelle d’inclusion et de diversité dans la pratique archivistique et de conservation. Afin de mieux saisir les récits individuels de femme, il importe en première instance d’en assurer la représentation dans les établissements de conservation.
Féminisation d’un discours public sur la langue à Moncton entre 1947 et 1965 : les traces archivistiques d’une honte linguistique
Authors: LeBlanc Isabelle
Published: October 2023

Dans ce texte, je m’intéresserai à l’existence de traces archivistiques attestant de la féminisation d’un discours public sur la langue dans la région de Moncton dans la période précédant l’adoption du bilinguisme officiel par la province du Nouveau-Brunswick. En mobilisant un petit corpus d’archives de presse datant de 1947 à 1965, je propose une réflexion sur la mise en discours par les femmes d’une honte linguistique. En effet, Annette Boudreau (2021) développe amplement la notion de « honte sociale » dans son plus récent ouvrage qui s’intitule Dire le silence : insécurité linguistique en Acadie 1867-1970. Elle conçoit la honte comme participant à l’insécurité linguistique et identitaire d’un groupe, source de silence collectif (apprendre à se taire). Pour ma part, je m’appuierai sur Boudreau afin de mener une réflexion théorique sur la honte à partir de paroles de femmes. L’objectif sera d’examiner comment les archives de femmes permettent de penser la honte linguistique au-delà du silence pour s’intéresser au discours d’émancipation linguistique.
Les mondes enfouis d’Anne Suzanne Richard. Une marge d’autonomisation féminine après la Déportation (1785-1789)
Authors: Vasquez-Parra Adeline
Published: October 2023

Au lendemain du traité de Paris (1763), une nouvelle génération d’Acadiens et d’Acadiennes voit le jour : celle des enfants de déportés. Nombre d’entre eux se trouvent en France à partir de 1758. Cette génération n’a pas beaucoup connu l’Acadie et a grandi dans des communautés de réfugié·es. Celle-ci se trouve tiraillée entre les sentiments de nostalgie de ses aîné·es et les nouvelles opportunités sociales et professionnelles offertes par la France des années prérévolutionnaires alors en pleine mutation politique et économique. Alors que se découvrent au XIXe siècle certains « destins » de femmes issues de la Déportation, cet article revient sur celui d’Anne Suzanne Richard, tailleuse et lingère acadienne à Morlaix, en Bretagne, pour rendre compte d’une « marge d’autonomisation ». Ce concept renvoie au façonnement d’un réseau de connexions sociales dans la poursuite d’un but propre échappant au contrôle total du pouvoir communautaire et/ou étatique. L’une de ces marges est ici étudiée en lui octroyant une orientation spécifiquement féminine : la relation épistolaire entre Richard et une aristocrate bretonne, la comtesse Marie Jeanne Jégou du Laz. Au cours de leurs échanges entre 1785 et 1789, l’autonomie féminine se dévoile loin de toute conception homogène et réifiée de la catégorie historique de « femme réfugiée ». Des relations sociales se nouent autour d’Anne Suzanne Richard pour la placer dans des interactions avec différents milieux sociaux et professionnels, de la sphère domestique à la sphère publique. En cela, la marge d’autonomisation ouvre sur un nouveau traitement archivistique des femmes acadiennes réfugiées par l’exploration de nouvelles dynamiques de réseaux entreprises entre agentes historiques, communautés marchandes et acteurs indépendants après la Déportation.

Feminization of Sri Lankan Doctors and Key Specialties: 2000 to 2020
Authors: Adikari Pamila Sadeeka , De Silva Dileep , Rubasinghe Mihiri S , Seneviratne Udeni Indika
Published: October 2023

The study focused on the feminization of Sri Lankan generalist doctors in all major and selected minor specialties between 2000 and 2020. The study analyzed all relevant documents by exploring Sri Lanka's male-to-female doctor and specialist ratio over 20 years. This was determined by analyzing state medical faculty records from 1990 to 2020. For better clarity, the researchers analyzed the gender ratio changes in every five-year block from 1990 to 2020. Focus groups filled PGIM's gender data fields. Five-year medical students surged from 43% to 63% between 1990 and 2020. Linear trend analysis predicts 68% of female medical students by 2025 and 72% by 2030. This study simulated generalist doctors with medical students. Until recently, men dominated medicine, surgery, obstetrics, and pediatrics. Female specialists have increased in all fields over the past 20 years. The feminization of medical doctors challenges national human resource policies and health sector reforms. They emphasize gender-sensitive health workforce planning that considers a country's economic development and healthcare system. Sri Lankan health policymakers should consider gender dynamics in national health HR planning for the next decade.
Health Policy Reform through Strengthening Indonesia's Health Resilience System
Authors: Sulistiadi Wahyu
Published: October 2023

The National Health System in Indonesia is developing and being discussed more seriously after entering the COVID-19 pandemic. With a national health system and several existing tools, Indonesia needed more time to be ready to face the challenges of that time. Upstream health policies should be optimized to mobilize resources and increase the nation's efforts to build a national resilience system. This paper was built using selected policy documents up-to-date and reliable literature. By reviewing empirical evidence, the author believes and shows the role of strengthening health policies in building a robust national health resilience system. Indonesia has several policies that have the potential to become a sub-system for national health resilience. The health resilience system is formed from the health system and health resilience components, which impact creating a Healthy Indonesia. Health system resilience can be seen from stable funding, good governance, flowing and integrated information systems, risk adaptation, adequate health workforce capacity, logistics, and robust health efforts. The interaction between the health system, health resilience, and the health resilience system formed is within the umbrella of health policy, the completeness of resilience policy, and the highest public health institutions. Strengthening the role of health policy in the formation of a health resilience system in a country is one proof of health policy reform. Health policy is no longer seen as the upstream side of health programs or efforts but as an essential side in functioning a system to create a healthy country. Reforming the national health system should followed by institutional reform of The Ministry of Health to become the Ministry of Public Health, and health policy reform by strengthening health resilience.

The heteroplasmic state of eukaryotic cells allows for cryptic accumulation of defective mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA). ‘Purifying selection’ mechanisms operate to remove such dysfunctional mtDNAs. We found that activators of programmed cell death (PCD), including the CED-3 and CSP-1 caspases, the BH3-only protein CED-13, and PCD corpse engulfment factors, are required in C. elegans to attenuate germline abundance of a 3.1-kb mtDNA deletion mutation, uaDf5, which is normally stably maintained in heteroplasmy with wildtype mtDNA. In contrast, removal of CED-4/Apaf1 or a mutation in the CED-4-interacting prodomain of CED-3, do not increase accumulation of the defective mtDNA, suggesting induction of a non-canonical germline PCD mechanism or non-apoptotic action of the CED-13/caspase axis. We also found that the abundance of germline mtDNAuaDf5 reproducibly increases with age of the mothers. This effect is transmitted to the offspring of mothers, with only partial intergenerational removal of the defective mtDNA. In mutants with elevated mtDNAuaDf5 levels, this removal is enhanced in older mothers, suggesting an age-dependent mechanism of mtDNA quality control. Indeed, we found that both steady-state and age-dependent accumulation rates of uaDf5 are markedly decreased in long-lived, and increased in short-lived, mutants. These findings reveal that regulators of both PCD and the aging program are required for germline mtDNA quality control and its intergenerational transmission.

Chromatin has been shown to undergo diffusional motion, which is affected during gene transcription by RNA polymerase activity. However, the relationship between chromatin mobility and other genomic processes remains unclear. Hence, we set out to label the DNA directly in a sequence unbiased manner and followed labeled chromatin dynamics in interphase human cells expressing GFP-tagged PCNA, a cell cycle marker and core component of the DNA replication machinery. We detected decreased chromatin mobility during the S-phase compared to G1 and G2 phases in tumor as well as normal diploid cells using automated particle tracking. To gain insight into the dynamical organization of the genome during DNA replication, we determined labeled chromatin domain sizes and analyzed their motion in replicating cells. By correlating chromatin mobility proximal to the active sites of DNA synthesis, we showed that chromatin motion was locally constrained at the sites of DNA replication. Furthermore, inhibiting DNA synthesis led to increased loading of DNA polymerases. This was accompanied by accumulation of the single-stranded DNA binding protein on the chromatin and activation of DNA helicases further restricting local chromatin motion. We, therefore, propose that it is the loading of replisomes but not their catalytic activity that reduces the dynamics of replicating chromatin segments in the S-phase as well as their accessibility and probability of interactions with other genomic regions.
