Authors: Yasmin MM , Ivy NA , Rasul MG , Hossain MM
Published: January 2021

An investigation was carried out to study the genetic parameters and character association for yield, yield attributing, quality and nutritional traits of twelve rice varieties. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences for all the traits under study indicated the presence of wide genetic variability among the genotypes. Small differences between genotypic coefficient of variation and phenotypic coefficient of variation were recorded for all the characters studied which indicated less influence of environment on these characters. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for zinc content (brown) and number of chaffy grain per panicle exhibited, indicating that simple selection could be effective for improving these characters. Yield per hill had the highest positive direct effect. This study revealed that yield per hill, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, panicle length and thousand grain weight are the most important yield contributing characters and an attempt should, therefore, be made for effective selection on these traits. Yield per hill might be considered as the most important trait due to low difference of GCV and PCV, high heritability in broad sense (h2b) with high genetic advance (GA) in percent of mean, significant positive correlation and high positive indirect effects. Another important trait such as days to 50% plants to flowering and thousand grain weight might also be considered due to their minimum difference of GCV and PCV values, high h2b with high GA in percent of mean, significant positive correlation and higher positive direct effects.

Published: January 2021

Eosinophilic enterocolitis is an exceptionally rare disease with few cases described in the literature. It is the least frequent manifestation of the broad spectrum of gastrointestinal eosinophilic diseases. We describe a case of a female patient presenting with a form of the disease manifested by Koenig’s syndrome and diarrhea. This posed a diagnostic challenge for us due to its non-specific symptoms, associated with the absence of standardized histological criteria, hence the need for a high level of suspicion. There is also no consensus regarding the treatment. It should be individualized according to the age of the patient and the severity of symptoms.

PANDANGAN AL-ZAMAKHSHARĪ TENTANG NIKAH MUT’AH: ANALISIS IDEOLOGIS DALAM KITAB TAFSIR AL-KASHSHĀF
Authors: Qalby Miftahatul
Published: January 2021

Abstract: This study aims to reveal the tendency of al-Zamakhsharī's interpretation of mut'ah marriage in his book, al-Kashshāf. This study is based on the opinion of M. Quraish Shihab who argues that the al-Zamakhsharī’s interpretation is more inclined to the view of Shiites, that allows Mut'ah marriage. This study uses the thematic research paradigm on QS. Al-Nisā ': 24 and related verses. While the data collected is from primary and secondary literature. With a critical analysis of al-Zamkahsharī's opinion, this study concludes that: The interpretation of al-Zamakhsharī in the tafsir of al-Kashshāf surat al-Nisa 'verse 24 does not discuss about mut'ah marriage, but about the obligation to pay dowry. Meanwhile, the riwāyah that says the verse came down about mut'ah is considered weak, because the narrator not known. Al-Zamakhsharī explained that mut'ah marriage was allowed but the Prophet forbade and forbade mut'ah marriage forever. Of course, his last opinion on the prohibition of mut'ah marriage is a measure that his opinion tends towards Sunnis. From this it becomes clear, that his interpretation of Surat al-Nisa 'verse 24 is in accordance with the opinion of Sunni scholars.
KECENDERUNGAN IDEOLOGIS TAFSIR KHILĀFAH DALAM AL-QUR’AN; ANALISIS TERHADAP PENAFSIRAN TĀHIR IBNU ‘ASHŪR DAN TAQIY AL-DĪN AL-NABHĀNĪ
Authors: Nabil Ahmad
Published: January 2021

This article discusses the insight of the khilāfah in the perspective of Ibn Ashur and Taqī al-Dīn al-Nabhānī. This article departs from the problem that the khilāfah discourse continues to be a polemic among interpreters, especially when the khilāfah is associated with the state. From this problem, this article will discuss the concept of khilāfah in the perspective of T}āhir Ibn Ashur and Taqiy al-Dīn al-Nabhāni. Although al-Nabhānī does not have a complete interpretation work like Ibn Ashur, he does interpret the khilāfah verses contained in his works. Both are sunni figures, although in their attitude towards the problems of the state and khilafah they are different. This article questions how Ibn Ashur and al-Nabhāni view the interpretation of the khilāfah verse? And what are the implications of the two interpretations of the Indonesian context? By using a thematic interpretation approach and discourse analysis of the two interpretive works, this study comes to the conclusion that; (1) khilāfah according to Ibn Ashur is the name of leadership that embodies the leadership of the prophet. while Taqiy al-Dīn al-Nabhānī stated that the khilāfah of the leadership system of Muslims throughout the world is to uphold Islamic law and carry Islamic preaching to all corners of the world. The difference between the two figures in understanding the caliphate is, first, the arguments used by Ibn 'Ashūr emphasize more on aspects that are prerequisites for the Caliph in his khilafah, such as those who believe and do good deeds do justice, while Taqiy al-Dīn al-Nabhānī is more leads to the obligation to obey and practice what Allah commands, and the obligation to establish a caliphate. Second, that both of them have differences in the realm of ideology, of course this will have little or much impact on the frame of mind of the two figures, so what the authors find that distinguishes the two figures is that Ibn 'Ashur is more moderate than Taqiyuddin An-Nabahni.

Authors: Dolgikh Serge
Published: January 2021

In this work connections between training processes of unsupervised generative learning with self-encoding and regeneration and information structure in the latent representations created by such models were investigated. Theoretical arguments were proposed leading to the conclusion, confirmed by previously published experimental results, that in generative self-learning under certain constraints latent representations with spontaneous categorization are statistically preferred. The results can provide insights into common principles underlying learning and emergence of intelligence in machine and biologic systems.

The current study was conducted the effect of sowing time and different doses of a potassium supplement on yield attributes of potato at Gollen valley Chitral, the Northern Pakistan during summer 2018. Sowing Potato (cv. Roko) commenced from 5thMay and continued till 5thJune keeping an interval of 15 days among sowing times. Potassium (K) was applied at the rate of 100, 150, 200 and 250 kg ha-1 as potassium chloride. Basal doses of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) were applied at the rate 120 and 100 kg ha-1 respectively, as urea and DAP. All yield attributes like number of leaves per plant, plant height, the number of tubers per plant, tuber volume and yield of potato were higher for May 5th (early sowing date) with potassium dose of 200 kg ha-1. Interaction of sowing dates and Potassium (SD×K) for yield, tuber volume and soil potassium content was statistically significant (P≤0.05). The study showed that by delaying the sowing season, yield traits and yield of potato decreased significantly; hence early cultivation and K fertilization of 200 kg ha-1 resulted in maximum production of potato as well as improved soil properties under agroclimatic conditions of the region which is a dry temperate zone of Pakistan

This study was carried out to investigate the ecological regions of Eskişehir, Konya, Kırşehir, and Çorum in terms of sugar beet root yield (kg da-1), polar sugar rate (%), refined sugar rate (%) and sugar yield (kg da-1), to determine stabilities of selected genotypes, and to assist future studies. The experiment was conducted in the ecological regions of Eskişehir, Konya, Kırşehir, and Çorum between 2013 and 2017, using the trial data from the Variety Registration and Seed Certification Center. 58 genotypes of foreign origin were used in the study. It was determined that the Çorum location could be considered as bad environment in terms of sugar beet root yield feature, the Çorum and Eskişehir locations in terms of polar sugar beet and refined sugar rate feature, and the Eskişehir location in terms of polar sugar rate feature. It was concluded that Sandrina, Bernache and Aigrette genotypes showed good adaptation under good environmental conditions and were stable in terms of sugar beet root yield; Garrot and Beetle genotypes in terms of sugar yield; Delano and Portofina KWS (5K618) genotypes in terms of polar sugar rate; Ametist (SV1634), Masai, and Eldorado genotypes in terms of refined sugar rate. Since the performances of genotypes in different environmental conditions differ, it is of great importance to examine the performances of new varieties in different ecological environments. In terms of sugar beet root yield characteristics, it is recommended to prefer warmer ecological locations

Authors:   State Road Transport Research Institute, Klimenko Oleksiy
Published: January 2021

Suggestions for the development of theoretical and methodological foundations of system management of energy efficiency and environmental pollution by road transport in the life cycle are given. It takes into account all essential areas covering transportation, infrastructure, maintenance, also energy, chemical and automotive industries, raw material extraction, utilization, and related processes of energy consumption and environmental pollution, distributed in space and time. A universal structural scheme of the “supersystem” is proposed, which reflects the processes of consumption of energy, material and other resources, distributed environmental pollution through the functioning of road transport and related industries, and linked damage as well. The target function of the “supersystem” can be represented as the fulfilment during a certain period (covering the life cycle of the main elements – objects of influence (regulation) and investment of financial resources) of the specified volumes of certain types of transport work with the minimum possible and economically justified consumption of energy, consumables, materials, other resources (including those consumed by the transportation, infrastructure, maintenance, also energy, chemical and automotive industries, raw material extraction, utilization), the minimum possible losses due to artificial pressure on the recipients (human beings, fauna and flora, buildings, etc.) of directly the transport system and infrastructure, as well as side effects of processes in other elements of the “supersystem”, that may be reduced to the total cost of transport, taking into account the inflation index of monetary units. It is proposed to carry out a mathematical description of complicated sets, dynamically distributed in the space of objects that change the structure and properties over time, based on the further development of such a tool as the theory of multisets. In a simplified form, it is presented an example of a fragment of the management system based on measures to regulate the first access of vehicles to the market, further operation, and to certain elements of infrastructure, with the introduction of low emission zones in cities. The development, creation and effective functioning of the management system of transport and related sectors of the economy in those mentioned above and other parts, requires a coherent system approach based on forecasting (modelling) the consequences of decisions, which can be implemented using the tools described in this article. Keywords: wheeled vehicles, road transport, systems management, energy efficiency, environmental pollution.

Thousands of bridges built in the 20th century are operated on Ukrainian roads. In the limited funding of the road industry of Ukraine, the age of highway bridges is constantly increasing, the number of defects in structures is growing. The largest number of defects is concentrated in the bridge spans. The main part of the bridge spans consists of prefabricated reinforced concrete beams, manufactured in factories of reinforced concrete structures according to standard designs developed in the middle of the last century. As a result of long-term operation of bridges, the shortcomings of these designs which reduce the service life of bridge spans and bridges in general are revealed. The systematic approach is required to study this process. The Analytical Expert Bridge Management System (AESUM) operates in the Ukravtodor system. This software complex accumulates all the information on the results of inspections (certification) of bridges on public roads. The special module AESUM – a database of standard designs of bridge spans which is constantly updated was developed to make decisions on repair works taking into account the features of structures on standard designs, to store this information in a single complex, in electronic form. Standard designs of reinforced concrete bridge spans built and operated on the roads of Ukraine are considered, and a comparative analysis of the features of these designs is performed taking into account the impact on the safety of bridge operation, their main features and shortcomings are given. The concept of rank of the standard design on durability is entered. A formula for estimating the durability of bridge span of a standard design using this concept is proposed. The analysis of durability of bridge span is performed. A number of problematic standard designs have been identified. Keywords: road bridge, standard designs, durability.

To overcome the problem of arsenic separation and enrichment from an alkaline leaching solution in arsenic-containing dust, a CO32--type tri-n-octylmethyl-ammonium chloride (TOMAC) method for extracting thioarsenite is proposed in this paper. Considering an alkaline leaching solution as the research object, after vulcanization pretreatment, TOMAC transformation and organic phase saturated extraction capacity were measured, and the extraction mechanism was preliminarily studied. First, Cl−-type quaternary ammonium salt was effectively transformed to HCO3--type by treating organic phase with saturated NaHCO3five times. TOMAC was effectively transformed from HCO3- to CO32- type by alkaline washing with 1.0 mol/l NaOH solution; this washing was repeated thrice. Thereafter, the effects of organic phase composition, phase ratio, extraction time, and temperature on the extraction and separation of arsenic were investigated. The results show that under the conditions of 30% CO32--type TOMAC + 15% sec-octanol + 55% sulfonated kerosene, VO/VA = 1/1, and 5 min extraction at room temperature, the single-stage extraction rate of AsIII is 85.2%. The AsIII concentration in raffinate can be reduced to less than 1.33 × 10−3 mol/l by four-stage countercurrent extraction, and the extraction rate of AsIII can exceed 98.4%.

Geophysical surveys in the eastern slope of the Gela Basin (Strait of Sicily, central Mediterranean) contributed to the identification of several episodes of sediment mass transport, recorded by scars and deposits of various dimensions within the Pleistocene succession. In addition to a huge failure called Gela Slide with volume exceeding 600 km3, the most studied events show volumes estimated between 0.5 and 1.5 km3, which is common to many other submarine landslide deposits in this region and that can therefore be considered as a characteristic value. In this work, the tsunamigenic potential of two of such landslides, the so-called Northern Twin Slide and South Gela Basin Slide located about 50 km apart along the eastern slope of the Gela Basin, are investigated using numerical codes that describe the onset and motion of the slide, as well as the ensuing tsunami generation and propagation. The results provide the wave height of these tsunami events on the coast of southern Sicily and Malta and can be taken as representative of the tsunamigenic potential of typical landslides occurring along the slope of the Gela Basin.
