Field experiment was conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore to assess the effect of Nozzle Size and Operational Pressure on the efficiency of Sprinkler System. The parameters taken for assessing the efficiency of irrigation were the percentage of total water loss and percentage of uniformity in water distribution. Among the four nozzle sizes tested, 4.76 mm x 2.38 mm size recorded the minimum water loss. In case of the operational pressures, louest pressure of 1.2 KSC was found to be superior by recording the lowest water loss and highest uniformity in water distribution. Under the combination of medium nozzle size of 5.56 mx 3.17 mm and lowest pressure of 1.2 KSC, the total water loss was minimum.

Published: September 2023

Six elite chewing tobacco varieties were evaluated for heterosis and combining ability for yield and yield component characters F1- 11 (1-115 x VR-2) and F1-13 (PV-7 x VR-2) recorded maximum heterotic vigour of 14.7% and 17.4% increase over the better parent in total yield and whole leaf yield respectively. The variances of general combining ability (gca) were significant for whole leaf, total yield and leaf area and in general, variance of specific combining ability (sca) were not significant for any character. The magnitude of gca was higher than that of sca indicating predominance of additive gene action. 1-64 and PV-7 showed positive and high gca effects and these are ideal parents for future breeding programmes for chewing tobacco crop improvement.

Substantial genetic diversity among the 40 cold tolerant rice genotypes for components of fitness between and within the geographic regions existed. The clustering pattern indicated that geographic diversity was not a reliable criterion of genetic diversity in cold tolerant rice. The genotypes related by their origin of region or by pedigree tended to group in the same cluster in general. There was a wide range of variation in the intra-cluster mean values in respect of each of the quantitative triats studied. The yield component traits viz., number of grains per panicle and number of productive tillers contributed the most to the genetic divergence between the genotypes.

Morphological characteristics determining plant form associated with "source" quantum, distribution of dry matter and growth analysis of plant were examined in detail as time trend phenomena. Leaf weight, number and area are distinct for each habit of growth of which leaf weight alone is significantly positively correlated with pod yield even as total dry matter production, when all the varieties are pooled irrespective of habit. But at habit level, the significant positive association is not sustained by virtue of smallness of population size and the extent of heterogeneity of varieties. Depletion of dry matter from leaf rather then stem during development symbo- lishes bunch, depletion from leaf but much more from stem marks out semi-spreading and an accumulation of dry matter in leaf but large depletion from stem chara- cterises spreading and the yield ranking is linked to the quantum of depletion Growth analysis comprising NAR, RGR, CGR and LAI are considered and the im portance of LAI has become conspicuous having a control over CGR.

The mineral composition of leaves of different varieties of groundnut under different habits of growth analysed during the crop growth period indicated that both cations and anions augered well for high yielding potentiality which was singular chracteristics of the high yielding varieties in each habit of growth. An accumulation of high calcium in leaves at flowering, pod setting and pod filling stages enhanced the pod yield in high yielding varieties. High potassium-calcium ratio was associated with high yielders under each habit of growth.

Bioassay using cucumber growth was utilised to detect the residues of some common herbicides in soil. The experiment was conducted under pot culture conditions in alluvial (entisol), black (vertisol) and red (Alfisol) soils. Atrazine, oxadiazon, oxyfluorien and ter- butyrn inhibited the germination, plant height and dry matter production of cucumber. The red soil exhibited acute toxicity even at lower concentration and the LD 50 of these herbicides were lower than the alluvial and black soils. The detection of residues in the unknown soil can be easily computed from the derived quadratic equations.

Horsegram is a cold-weather crop, generally grown during November and December season in Tamil Nadu. This implies that the crop is probably sensitive to photo- periodism. Since the yield improvement is being planned on the basis of specific breeding programmes, basic information is needed regarding the photoperiodic sensitivity of this crop. Four cultivars viz, CO 1, CODB 2, CODB 5 and CODB 6 were subjected to eight hour photoperiod along with the control which was placed under normal environmental conditions available during the period of experimentation. After ten days of short day treatment, the crop responded, showing floral initiation, The control plants did not flower at that enviromental conditions. The plant normally, requires short day condition for floral initiation but further development of flowers could take place under day neutral condition. There is a positive correlation between the flowering nodes and the leaves.

The parent material and the relative abundance of the coarse and fine textural frac-- tions are the prime causes for the variation in the chemical composition of the Vertisols. The soils of granite origin recorded the highest Si0, content and those developed from base rich granite-gneiss and kimberlite recorded the least values followed by the soils of shales origin. The Sio, content decreased with the depth. The Al,0, content increased with increase in olay content and showed an oppsite trend of distribution to that of Si0, The Fe,O, content greatly varied among the pedons but showed more uniformity within the horizons of each pedon. The CaO, MgO, K,O and Na,O contents were found to be least in soils developed from granite while the soils derived from other parent materials were fairly rich in these bases. All these bases had shown an increasing trend with the depth except the K,0. The soils developed from lime stone and kimberlite were poor in P,0, content.

"I Am a Conscious Jew and an Austrian": Austrian Jewish Women Survivors in Post-Shoah Austria
Authors: Lappin-Eppel Eleonore
Published: September 2023

Abstract: This paper presents the life stories of six Jewish women who were born in Vienna, survived the Nazi persecution there or in camps, and stayed in Austria after the war. The subjects were chosen in an effort to reflect a diversity of fates, reactions and coping strategies and to offer a representative overview. I will discuss why these women did not leave Austria after the Nazi takeover, how they managed to survive the years of persecution, why they subsequently decided to remain in Austria, and how their sufferings influenced the course of their lives after liberation. As Marion Kaplan has shown for Germany, I argue that gender, class, age and family ties were important reasons for their choices to stay, both before and after the war.
A Jewish Reclaiming of German-Jewish Women Thinkers
Authors: Klapheck Elisa
Published: September 2023

Abstract: The following essay describes a typical uneasiness with regard to the reception of the intellectual legacy of German-Jewish women thinkers like Hannah Arendt, Bertha Pappenheim, Regina Jonas and Margarete Susman. The material reality of the large role played by such Jewish women thinkers may have vanished in the Shoah. Their Jewish intellectual descendants in Germany today have built upon their work, but that work takes place in contested territory, where other, non-Jewish scholars also lay claim to this legacy. In this personal reflection, I analyze the different motivations of non-Jewish and Jewish feminists in post-Shoah Germany to engage with Jewish thinkers. Certainly, the conflicts are also about academic power and the control of interpretation. Yet, they have a political quality that is interesting in and of itself, one that underlines the far-reaching impact of the intellectual legacy of Jewish women thinkers in societal discourse in Germany today.

Authors: Weiss Dorit
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Ida Wissotzky is among the nurses who made important but often overlooked contributions to the development of Israel's healthcare sector in the pre-state and early state years. Apart from her leadership roles in the young country's emergent hospital system, her career including working with Jewish refugees in British internment camps in Cyprus after the Holocaust, caring for wounded soldiers during and after the 1948 war, and supervising the care of new immigrants in Israel's absorption camps. This article describes some of the most important junctures in Israel's nursing history, from the last decade of the British Mandate in Palestine through the early decades of the State of Israel, as they were experienced by one determined and compassionate woman who aspired to combine pioneering nursing work with involvement in the political and ideological struggles of the nation-building years. It thereby contributes to a better understanding of women's impact on the development of nursing in Israel.
The Shaping of Military Nursing in Israel: 1947–1958
Authors: Segev Ronen
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Unique realities influenced the development of the military nursing profession in Israel. While other countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, established military hospitals staffed by separately trained military nurses, conditions in Israel led to the development of interlocking military and civilian healthcare sectors, as the young country responded simultaneously to healthcare needs brought on by war, ongoing attacks on civilians, and massive waves of immigrants, including European Holocaust survivors and Jews from Arab countries. Relying on an analysis of documents in multiple archives, contemporaneous newspaper articles and interviews conducted with nurses who served in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and the 1956 Sinai Campaign, this paper describes the development of the nursing profession in Israel through 1958, when military nursing was fully established as part of the civilian health sector, a reality that continues to the present.

Published: September 2023

Ferns are a kind of plant that exhibits a high degree of adaptability and may be cultivated with relative ease in the Gontara Village Region, located in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The decline in the variety of this particular plant species can be attributed to the extensive conversion of land for oil palm plantations. So far, no empirical investigations or datasets have been conducted or published that provide insights on the extent of fern species diversity subsequent to the conversion of the region into an oil palm plantation. Hence, the present study was undertaken with the objective of ascertaining the various classifications of ferns and assessing the extent of fern variety. The present study employs the route approach in conjunction with a purposive sampling strategy. The present study was done in the oil palm plantation region of Gontara Village, Mori Atas District, Central Sulawesi. A total of 21 fern species were identified, belonging to 5 distinct classes, 5 orders, and 9 families. The Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index yields a value of 2.82, indicating the extent of diversity.
