Trace fossils from the upper cretaceous of the western interior: Potential criteria for facies models
Authors: Frey Robert W. , Howard James D.
Published: March 2022

Where studied sufficiently, trace fossil assemblages generally have proven to be significant environ­ mental indicators in the Upper Cretaceous of the Western Interior. The full potential of such assemblages is yet to be realized, however, whether in reconstruction of local depositional settings or in evaluation of regional cyclic sedimentation. Ichnologic studies of nearshore elastics in Utah and offshore carbonates in Kansas constitute provisional models for both local and regional environmental analyses, including assessments of the problems and principles involved. The regional aspects, especially, require considerable additional reconnaissance, development, and testing before such models can be employed routinely.
Redefinition of The Precambrian Tusas Mountain and Tres Piedras Granites, North-Central New Mexico
Authors: Wobus Reinhard A. , Hedge Carl E.
Published: March 2022

Proterozoic granitic plutons of strongly contrasting textural and structural style in the Tusas Range previously have been correlated under the name Tres Piedras Granite. However, the foliated granite, in the village of Tres Piedras and in Tusas Canyon were imprinted by the same period of regional metamorphism (ca. 1,700 Ma) that de­ formed the wall rocks, whereas the granite porphyry stock at Tusas Mountain appears to be post-tectonic. Although the two kinds of granite are generally similar in terms of most major oxides, the granite at Tusas Mountain is slightly more calcic and is locally enriched in fluorine and a suite of trace elements indicative of late vapor-phase activity. Rb-Sr whole-rock analyses and U-Pb dating of zircon from the Tusas Mountain stock indicate an age between 1,500 and 1,430 Ma; thus the stock was emplaced during the second of the major Proterozoic intrusive episodes recognized in the southern Rocky Mountains. It may, therefore, be the only stock-sized pluton exposed west of the Rio Grande that was contemporaneous with a period of widespread pegmatite formation and metasomatic (sericitic) alteration of the rocks of the area. On the basis of this new work, we propose that the Tusas Mountain stock be referred to henceforth as the Tusas Mountain Granite, a new name, and that the term Tres Piedras Granite be applied only to the foliated granite of the 1,700 Ma intrusive episode.

Modern state of the genus Tobrilus (Nematoda: Enoplida: Tobrilidae)
Authors: Tsalolikhin S.Ya.
Published: March 2022

The genus Tobrilus (Bastian 1865) includes 15 valid species, not counting the endemics of Lake Baikal. These species are subdivided into three groups: “classic” (species described not later than in the first third of the XX century), “new” and Baikal endemics. “Classic” and “new” are closely related through differential diagnosis. The identification of “new” species is difficult. This article provides identification keys for these species presented separately for females and males.
WEBSITE QUALITY MEASUREMENT OF DIPA MAKASSAR UNIVERSITY
Authors: Arifin Suci Ramadhani , Muhammad Rizal
Published: March 2022

Since the implementation of the Dipa Makassar University website, there has never been a measurement of the quality of the website so that the success of the service is not yet known. This study was conducted to measure the service quality of the Dipa Makassar University website with the aim of knowing the success rate of website services seen from the compatibility between the perceptions and expectations of students as website users. WebQual and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) methods are used in this study. The results of the study prove that there is a gap between students' perceptions and expectations on each website quality dimension, where the perceived value is smaller than the student's expectations. The smallest gap lies in the quality of service interactions with a conformity level of 87.56% which indicates that website services are quite successful in the quality of service interactions. The biggest gap lies in the quality of information with a conformity level of 68.80% which indicates that website services have not met student expectations, especially the quality of information.

Examining the Effects of Precision Scheduled Railroading on Intercity Passenger and High-Speed Rail Service
Authors: Green John G. , Miller Francis J.
Published: March 2022

More than just scheduling terminal-to-terminal trips for trains, “Precision Scheduled Railroading” (PSR) creates entire point-to-point trip plans for individual railroad shipments. Since precision execution was first put into practice, the benefits to shipment arrival reliability and to freight railroads’ profitability have been demonstrated by its use in several Class One freight railroads. However, the effects of the PSR operating strategy on passenger railway operations in shared freight/passenger corridors has not been studied in detail. This research examines the effects of PSR railroad operations on passenger railways, including measuring “Host Railroad Minutes of Delay per 10,000 Train-Miles” and “On-Time Performance” of individual passenger railways, both intercity and high-speed.
Understanding How Chinese University Students Engage with Teacher Written Feedback in an EFL Context: A Multiple Case Study
Authors: Liu Yuwei
Published: March 2022

While prior studies have highlighted that extensive student engagement could help maximize students’ learning benefits in general, a paucity of research has explored student engagement with teacher written feedback (WF), especially when students processed various English proficiency levels. To fill this gap, this multiple-case study explored how six Chinese undergraduates (2 high proficiency (HP), 2 intermediate (IM) and 2 low-proficiency (LP)) cognitively, behaviourally and affectively engaged with teacher WF in an EFL context. Multiple sources of data were collected from students’ drafts with teacher WF, students’ immediate verbal reports and student semi-structured interviews. Findings demonstrated that learners’ revision behaviours had an affective nature, which could build their confidence by presenting writing progress through multiple drafts. More obvious distinctions of engagement were found between HP and LP students. Other factors influencing management levels were the amount of WF, prior learning context and previous experience with other feedback. Changes in the extensiveness of engagement were observed across different writing tasks and over time, which implied that engagement could be cultivated and developed. To conclude, the study contributes to the conceptualization of student engagement with teacher WF and the understanding of why students benefit differently from teacher WF.
An Analytical Review of the Influence of Regulatory and Supervisory Bodies on the Business of the Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) in Pakistan
Authors: Jan Sahibzada Muhammad Wasim , Hassan Shakeel Shah  , Ahmad Azam Bin Othman
Published: March 2022

Islamic financial market in Pakistan comprises Islamic banking, Takaful and Islamic capital market. It is regulated and supervised by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). Despite the regulatory and supervisory mechanism crafted by these authorities, there are other institutions such as the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII), Federal Shariat Court (FSC) and international institutions such as the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) and Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB) which intervene and influence the Islamic banking practices. Based on an analytical approach, the current study found an overlapping situation in the authority exercised by these bodies over the business of the IFIs in Pakistan. Hence, a distinctive regulatory authority based on an adequate legal foundation should be created to watch over the business of the IFIs in Pakistan. The supreme authority can be conferred to the Shariah Advisory Committee (SAC) of the SBP or to a separate body in the current judicial infrastructure of the country in order to overview, harmonize and resolve the issues related to the business of the IFIs.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Performance and Stability of Conventional and Islamic Banks in the GCC Region, Malaysia, and Pakistan
Authors: Arafat Qazi Yasir , Abdul Rashid  , Qazi Waseem Jan
Published: March 2022

This study examines the impact of COVID-19 on the performance and stability of conventional and Islamic banks. The sample included all the 21 listed Islamic banks (IBs) and 44 listed conventional banks (CBs) from the GCC region, Malaysia, and Pakistan. Quarterly data of these banks covering the period January 2019 to June 2020 were obtained from their quarterly reports. Performance was measured by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE), while stability was measured by the Z-scores of these banks. Based on the previous literature, a better performance of IBs was expected because these banks are based on the participatory mode of financing instead of debt-based financing. However, the results of the current study showed a significant and negative impact of COVID-19 on the financial performance of both types of banks, suggesting that either type of banking was significantly affected during the pandemic. However, we did not find any significant evidence of the impact of COVID-19 on the stability of these banks.
Menace of Middlemanship in the Light of Islamic Teachings
Authors: Khalid Mahmood Lodhi  , Ahmed Naeem
Published: March 2022

Despite abundant agricultural production, the prices of fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural items remain high, keeping these products out of the a common man’s reach. Although small and poor farmers work hard throughout the year, yet they remain indebted and poor. There might be various reasons for their plight such as the extraordinarily high prices of agri-food items; however, the role of the middleman (Arhti) seems to be the most damaging in this regard. This paper analyses the role palyed by the middleman in Pakistan in the light of Islamic teachings and primary (through survey questionnaire) and secondary data. The study found that generally, the middleman is a cruel character and causes distortions in the economy, particularly in the agro-food market. He deprives poor farmers of meaningful profit, keeps them under the pressure of debt, and causes price hikes of essential items which leads to artificial inflationary pressures in the economy. Ultimately, this phenomenon exerts pressure on the government as well. The current study also found that the presence of middleman in the supply chain of agro-food items deprives poor farmers of their right of earning genuine profit.Moreover, it also increases the price of essential food items. Hence, in the light of Shariah guidelines, unnecessary brokering needs to be restricted so that farmers are able to sell their produce themselves. Furthermore, the middleman’s role needs to be curtailed for the welfare of the farmers, improvement of the agriculture sector, and the betterment of the economy. The study recommends the framing of comprehensive long-term policies for the purchase of crops, monitoring of fruit / vegetable markets, provision of interest-free loans to farmers, setting up of an efficient market mechanism, establishment of effective consumer courts, and the improvement of the transportation system.

Published: March 2022

The cross-sectional study assesses lifetime use of psychoactive substances in medical students. During 2018, medical students from “Universidad de Buenos Aires” (UBA) in Argentina were offered the survey. Males significantly used at least one of the substances studied once in their lives compared to women (AOR: 1.75; IC 95%= 1.11- 2.77). Similarly, males used more marijuana (AOR: 1.69; 95% CI = 1.08-2.63). The lifetime prevalence increased with career level for any substance, marijuana and stimulants. Being employed was associated with lifetime consumption of marijuana (AOR: 1.6; 95% CI = 1.03-2.48). Living with peers was associated with lifetime prevalence for stimulants (AOR: 3.5; 95% CI = 1.54- 7.97). This study shows a lifetime prevalence for the total substances studied was higher compared to studies in the region. marijuana was the substance with the highest consumption, with more than half surveyed having tried it.

Authors: Swarts Tarynne , Hannes Karin , Rodriguez-Quiles Jose A,
Published: March 2022

Due to an increase in mobility programs, the number of South African international students is on the rise. Despite this increase there is a lack of research on South African international students. The acculturation challenges of South African international students, studying in Flanders, Belgium in a non-Anglophonic context was investigated. A Photovoice method explored barriers and facilitators in their adjustment process. Participants captured their experiences through a visual lens. Focus groups conducted, utilized images as prompts to the narratives. The data was analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The two main themes identified were related to Sociocultural and Psychological adjustment. We adapted Berry’s bidimensional acculturation model, used it as an overarching framework and merged it with an Ubuntu African perspective. The data suggest that for facets of the host nation superficially rooted and easy to adapt to, participants generally adopted an assimilation strategy. Whereas a separation strategy was adopted for facets of the host nation that were deeply ingrained such as worldviews.
Building a University Partnership to Support Early Grade Reading in Nigeria
Authors: Zuilkowski Stephanie , Tsiga Ismaila
Published: March 2022

While most international educational development projects are engaged in capacity development, trainings rarely have enough depth to result in lasting changes in the capacity of local stakeholders. The case of the Nigeria Centre for Reading, Research and Development (NCRRD) at Bayero University Kano used a different model. Six NCRRD faculty spent six months at Florida State University (FSU) attending courses on literacy and elementary education, attending grant writing trainings and reading seminars, observing literacy instruction in schools, and participating in conferences. After returning to Nigeria, the fellows were mentored by FSU faculty through the stages of a research project; all fellows subsequently submitted articles to international journals. FSU supported the administrative structures of NCRRD, assisting in the development of financial and compliance infrastructure. The outcomes of the partnership included 1) the establishment of the NCRRD as a center for excellence in reading in West Africa, 2) the publication of contextually relevant literature to inform policymakers and practitioners, and 3) the establishment of graduate programs in reading. This paper discusses the challenges faced by the institutions during the establishment of the NCRRD and makes recommendations for  institutions interested in developing long-term international partnerships.
'To Educate and Liberate?'
Authors: Clarke Lauren
Published: March 2022

The international branch campus is a model of transnational higher education that establishes institutional outposts abroad to expand student access, collaborative research, language proficiency, and recognized degree programs to participants. The growing body of literature on IBCs presents this phenomenon as an exercise in intercultural managerial effectiveness, which overlooks its role in the perpetuation of colonial constructs, narratives, and practices. This article critiques the impact of IBCs on host cultures through postcolonial and decolonial theory, asserting that meaningful transnational collaborations are predicated on dismantling hegemonic belief systems as well as structural legacies of colonial relations.
Higher Education Partnerships between the Global North and Global South
Authors: Hanada Shingo
Published: March 2022

Higher education partnerships between the Global North and the Global South are a recognized as means of developing research and education capacity, especially in the institutions of the Global South. Due to the realities of individual agreements, however, not all partnerships work effectively. This article examines a Norwegian and Ethiopian university partnership named “The South Ethiopia Network of Universities in Public Health (SENUPH)” as a case study to identify key elements in the development of effective, mutually beneficial partnerships from policy and institutional perspectives. The first part of this article outlines the different concepts of aid-focused partnerships and mutuality-focused partnerships. The second part reviews the evolution of the Norwegian Funding Programmes for Higher Education Partnerships. The third part describes the mission and key characteristics of SENUPH. The final part analyzes the policy implications for the development of functional, mutuality-focused higher education partnerships, as learned from the SENUPH case study. The Norwegian case provides three implications for how to make such mutual partnerships functional: 1) the importance of fostering the authorship of the partnership among key actors; 2) the significance of multiple phases and periodic evaluation to assess the progress of the partnerships; and 3) the promotion of knowledge and skill development among recipients so they can promote growth and cause a spillover effect that has a positive regional impact.
Palabra de Pregonero. Icaza revisor de Icaza: el paréntesis como operación de plegado y espacio de gozo en Huasipungo
Authors: Gomezjurado Quezada Guillermo
Published: March 2022

En este trabajo se realiza una lectura del uso del paréntesis en Huasipungo de Jorge Icaza, notando que su número incrementa en sus diferentes versiones —aquí se comparan la primera, de 1934, y la definitiva de 1960—. La propuesta consiste en pensar al paréntesis como una operación de plegado. Con esta elección, se deja de apreciar en Huasipungo “un estilo continuamente flagelado por paréntesis que frenan en seco la marcha del relato”, como lo formulaba Manuel Corrales, y se opta por ver la novela como una narración tumultuosa que incorpora y envuelve elementos gozosos al relato. También se identifica en el paréntesis un recurso utilizado por Icaza para desplegar frases guasonas con las que caracterizar a algunos personajes.
Sanguínea de Gabriela Ponce o la risa de la carne
Authors: Bustamante Mateo
Published: March 2022

A la luz del nomadismo de Rosi Braidotti y del grotesco estudiado por Bajtín, se pretende abrir una vía para pensar afirmativamente el cuerpo en la literatura. Luego de analizar los mitos de caída a través de la antropología de Ricoeur, se observan las imágenes del hueco en Sanguínea (2019) de Gabriela Ponce para proponer a este como una figuración del cuerpo, es decir, la carne como hueco que desfundamenta los discursos normativos del cuerpo. A través de esta figuración se propone una conexión entre la escritura del cuerpo y el desarrollo del grotesco renacentista. En esta conexión se encuentra la risa necesaria para escribir sobre la carne, una risa desestabilizadora del reino del Sujeto como Mismidad (universal, masculino, blanco, heterosexual, racional).
A avaliação escolar e suas influências no processo de ensino-aprendizagem
Authors: Rosa Nelma Simone Santana , Pires Jorge da Silva
Published: March 2022

A avaliação escolar deve ser considerada uma atividade de acompanhamento e de transformação do processo de ensino-aprendizagem e que, portanto, não pode ser gerada como ato pré-moldado ou restrito ou só por meio de exames e provas que venham a definir a capacidade intelectual dos estudantes. Desse modo, considerando as implicações que a avaliação apresenta no processo educativo, surge como pergunta norteadora: qual a influência da avaliação escolar no processo ensino e aprendizagem? O estudo tem como objetivo principal incitar acerca da avaliação e no que ela pode influenciar no processo ensino-aprendizagem no âmbito escolar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que tem como abordagem o método dialético, que prescreve as diversas mudanças no processo avaliativo, visto que a análise do material está aprofundada dentro de uma perspectiva interpretativa e social, com intuito de produzir informações, descobertas e novas indagações sobre o assunto. Os resultados e conclusões apresentados enfatizam a ideia de que a avaliação, quando bem trabalhada e entendida, de forma contínua e integrada ao fazer pedagógico do professor, serve de alicerce e contribui para que este interfira de forma eficiente na aprendizagem dos estudantes.

Atheroslerosis can be detected using B-mode ultrasound to measure carotid artery intima-media thickness  (CIMT). The aim of this study is to analyze the association between glycated haemoglobin levels (Hb A1c), LDL levels, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and BMI to CIMT in type 2 DM patients.

Methods : This was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. There were 30 study subjects from Endocrine Clinic at Saiful Anwar Hospital, Malang,  Started in September 2018 to December 2019. The subjects were examined using B-mode ultrasound for CIMT measurement,  as well as examination to evaluate Hb A1c levels, LDL levels of SBP and  BMI. All collected  data were statistically analyzed.

Results : The correlation between CIMT and Hb-A1c satitistically  shows significant association (P = 0.015) with  negative correlation coefficient (P = - 0.441), while others variable showed insignificant  result. The linear regression between Hb-A1c and CIMT showed 18.3% effectiveness.

Conclusion : There was a significant association in the  predictor variable levels of Hb-A1C and CIMT with inverse corellation with effectiveness 18.3%
Geographic Space and its Semantic Heterogeneity: An Ecocritical Reading of To Da-Duh, in Memoriam by Paule Marshall
Authors: Tia Daniel , Akpa Melyou Marie Grace Andrea
Published: March 2022

Humans and nature remain bound to each other. Defined by the Holy Scriptures as divine creatures, both of those beings maintain certain equality anchored in spirituality, thus substantiating their relationship of consubstantiality and interdependence. Today where deviationist practices threaten nature and humans’ lives, that spiritual bearing should be maintained. It is more relevant than ever to reinforce it and avoid perilous situations, which can destroy them all. Through a warning word, writers such as Paule Marshall have not only textualized their experience of childhood and that of adulthood, they have also fictionalized their cultural roots. One is rural, and the other is urban; the former provides peaceful life to its Barbadian population thanks to its virgin nature. As to the latter, it offers controversial living conditions to Americans. In truth, it pollutes and degrades the American environment, endangering the citizens’ lives. Published in 1967, To Da-Duh, in Memoriam[1] is a consciousness-raiser whose aesthetic scope transcends its former context and crystalizes in the first half of the twenty-first century. On the one hand, it thematizes the splendor and vitality of Barbadian flora, its harmony with its population, and praises the wonders of nature. On the other hand, it depicts the greatness of American civilization through the realistic picture of the skyscrapers (architecture) and the impact of industrialization on nature. That double fictional representation is of paramount interest, for it raises issues about the responsibility of developing and developed countries in the management of their own environment. Through an ecocritical lens, the current study will bring out the semantic network, which emerges from the picture of space.

Published: March 2022

In the effort to eradicate terrorism, the security dimension is thick in the policy of eradicating terrorism. Civil society is worried about the material of the 2018 Law Number 5 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Terrorism; it is considered that the Act can reduce the level of state compliance with respect, protection, and fulfillment of human rights in eradicating terrorism in addition to the effectiveness of the method of eradicating terrorism. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview and analysis of the form of the threat that has undergone a shift that requires the army as the main component of the defense system to reposition itself by placing itself in the right position in the midst of the dynamics of developing threats. The method in this research is normative juridical through a comprehensive study by taking sources from regulations and laws, while empirical juridical research is a study based on observations on threats involving the TNI. The theory used is the Theory of Authority and Theory of Rule of Law as the theoretical basis for the analysis of the main problems regarding the change of the army from a conqueror to a professional soldier. The military does not intervene in politics, and conversely, there is no political intervention in the military. Law of 2004 Number 34 concerning the TNI states that the Indonesian National Army was built and developed professionally according to the country's political interests, referring to the principles and values of democracy, human rights, civil supremacy, provisions of national and international laws that have been ratified.

Seismic Performance and Reliability Evaluation of Ductile RC Frame Structures with Infills
Authors: Zhao Jianchen , Qiu Hongxing
Published: March 2022

Ductile RC frames are often considered to have superior seismic performance even with infills. However, the seismic performance of this type of structure needs to be reassessed considering the additional shear requirements produced by the infills-column interaction and the increased seismic hazard due to the impact of infills on the vibration period of the structure. This paper presents a performance-based earthquake engineering framework aimed at the assessment of the comprehensive seismic performance of ductile RC frames with infills. A series of common configurations are considered in the analysis: bare frame (BF), upper-infilled frame (UIF), all-infilled frame (AIF), and corresponding stirrup-reduction frames with both infills-induced shear failure behavior of column and influence of structural vibration period considered. The results show that infills changed the failure modes and dynamic characteristics of ductile structures and shear failure occurs in all-infilled frame columns. Even though the all-infilled frame meets the shear requirement, its collapse probability is higher than the bare frame due to the high seismic hazard caused by a shorter vibration period.

Pengetahuan mengenai jumlah lulusan tepat waktu penting dalam peningkatan mutu sekolah tinggi, karena itu perlu dibangun sistem prediksi kelulusan tepat waktu berbasis komputer. Sistem prediksi ini menggunakan target data berupa data real mahasiswa Prodi Informatika yang telah lulus ditahun sebelumnya. Data ini juga digunakan sebagai data training dengan atribut NPM, Nama, IP dan IPK Semester 1 sampai 6, Jenis Kelamin, Status lulus tepat / terlambat. Data mahasiswa yang akan lulus ditahun ini sebagai data uji. Data real sekolah tinggi diolah menjadi beberapa set data yang dibutuhkan, lalu dihitung dengan menggunakan metode algoritma Decision Tree. Pengujian hasil sistem prediksi ini mendapat tingkat akurasi sebesar 92%. Sistem ini dapat memudahkan sekolah tinggi dalam meningkatkan jumlah lulusan tepat waktu dengan meningkatkan layanan terhadap mahasiswa yang tepat sasaran.

İCÂRE AKDİNİN FESHİNE ETKİSİ AÇISINDAN HANEFÎLERDE ZARAR
Authors: TOPAL Şevket , KESKİN Zahide
Published: March 2022

İslam borçlar hukuku açısından sürekli edimli sözleşmelere model olabilecek bir akit olan icâre, günümüzdeki kira ve iş sözleşmelerine karşılık gelmektedir. Bu makalede zararın icâre akdinin feshine etkisi Hanefî mezhebi özelinde incelenmiştir. İcâre akdi yapısı itibarıyla bağlayıcı olmakla birlikte bazı durumlarda feshi kabil hale gelir. Bunda zarar da bir etkendir. Bu çalışmanın hedefi icâre akdi kapsamında taraflara fesih hakkı tanınan veya akdi münfesih hale getiren durumların zararla bağlantısını ortaya koymaktır. Fesih gerekçelerinin zararla bağlantısının tespiti hükümlerin genişletilmesi ve güncel meselelere uygulanması noktasında yol gösterici olması açısından önemlidir. Bu makalede akitlere etkisi açısından zarar kısaca açıklanmış, sonrasında zararın icârenin feshini gerektirdiği ve feshine mâni olduğu durumlar incelenmiştir. Çalışmada doküman analizi yöntemi tercih edilmiş, kaynaklardaki dağınık veriler bir araya getirilerek yorumlanmıştır. Elde edilen verilere göre tarafların akitle üstlenmedikleri bir zarara katlanmaları gerekirse o takdirde zararın icâre akdinin feshine neden olduğu, akdin feshinin zarara yol açacağı durumlarda ise feshe engel teşkil ettiği görülmüştür.

In sub-Saharan Africa, smallholder farming systems continue to record very low yields despite the availability of appropriate crop management technologies. A 2-year field experiment was conducted in 2018 and 2019 at the Agricultural Research Station of Northern Benin to evaluate the growth response, grain yield attributes, and nutrient- and water- use efficiencies of different drought-tolerant (DT) maize varieties (TZEE-W-POP-STR QPM, TZE-Y-POP-STR, 2008Syn-EE-W DT-STR, and 2000Syn-EE-W of 80–90 days cycle), compared to DMR-ESR-W, a drought-susceptible (DS) variety of 90 days cycle, under different fertilizer options [no fertilizer control, microdosing option 1 (MD1, 25 kg N ha−1 + 4 kg P ha−1), option 2 (MD2, 25 kg N ha−1 + 8 kg P ha−1), option 3 (MD3, 35 kg N ha−1 + 8 kg P ha−1), and broadcast fertilizer at recommended rate (RR, 76 kg N ha−1 + 13 kg P ha−1). Generally, combining microdosing with DT varieties showed a very good performance by increasing the leaf area and biomass by 71 and 85%, respectively, at anthesis compared to the conventional practice. Microdosing increases grain and stover yields by 171 and 98%, respectively, compared to an unfertilized control with generally no difference between MD3 and RR treatments. Also, the DT varieties obtained the best yields (+19%), with the highest value observed with the TZE-Y variety. Significant interaction was found between varieties and fertilization for grain and stover yields. During the two cropping seasons, microdose fertilization increases the DT grain yield and gross return by 658 kg ha−1 and 203$USD, respectively, than their application on drought sensitive variety. The results of the current study demonstrated that there is a considerable potential for smallholder farmers of northern Benin to improve the maize productivity by means of DT varieties and of fertilizer microdosing. Using, especially, the MD3 option on the DT variety, TZE-Y, may be the best combination in optimizing the maize production in the sub-humid region of Benin, instead of the climate sensitive variety of the DMR-ESR under the microdosing or a common fertilization practice. However, further testing of the technologies through on-farm experiments are required before a precise advice can be given. Precisely, there is a need to evaluate these management options in farmer's fields, taking into account the climatic, soil, and management conditions to better assess and understand the variation in response and in economic benefits and risk.
