The present study was carried out at horticulture research centre, Patharchatta of G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand and Uttarakhand Council for Biotechnology, Haldi, Uttarakhand, during 2021 and 2022 with an objective to facilitate hybridization in low chill peaches [Prunus persica (L.) Stokes]. Selected cultivars of low chill peaches were crossbred using Saharanpur Prabhat, Sharbati Late and Sharbati Surkha as female parents, and Florda Red, Pratap and Early Grand as male. Among the hybrids, H2 (Saharanpur Pabhat × Pratap) showed the maximum fruit set (76.74%), while H5 (Sharbati Surkha × Pratap) had the minimum (55.93%). The highest fruit retention (71.15%) was noticed in H4 (Sharbati Late × Florda Red), and it was lowest in H2 (39.85%). H4 had the longest fruit development period (98.75 days), whereas H2 had the shortest (75.75 days). The seeds of hybridH5 took the maximum days for stratification (58.75 days), while it was lowest in H2 (48.25 days). The germination percentage was estimated highest in H4 (83.88%) and lowest in H2 (65.99%). Out of 25 SSR markers tested for hybridity confirmation, only 3 (CPPCT-022, UDP96-005 and UDP98-407) were discovered to be capable of testing the hybridity of F1 seedlings. Results from this study will be helpful in improving the recovery of low chill peach hybrids and ensuring the hybridity of seedlings at a very early stage.

Published: June 2023

Biocontrol is a potential strategy adapted to control the fungal plant pathogens thus bio-prospecting to find novel native siderophore and enzyme producing Pseudomonas isolate for the management of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) damping off disease under the prevailing conditions of Punjab state. In the present study, a total of 15 isolates of Pseudomonas fluorescens isolated from rhizospheric soils of tomato growing areas of Punjab and evaluated by dual culture plate confrontation assay, of which, two isolates (Pf10 and Pf6) showed maximum antagonistic activity against damping off pathogen (Rhizoctonia solani) with a zone of inhibition 14.30 mm and 11.53 mm respectively. These Pseudomonas isolates (Pf10 and Pf6) were also analyzed for their siderophore production and enzymatic activity. They were found to effectively produce siderophore and cell wall degrading enzymes such as chitinase and β-1,3 glucanase with higher antagonistic activity against Rhizoctonia solani. The present study was carried out at the Plant Pathology Research Farm, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab during 2017 and 2018 to confirm the bio-efficacy of these Pseudomonas isolates. Amongst the isolates, talc-based bioformulation of Pf10 isolate when applied as the seed+soil treatment had exerted strong inhibition against Rhizoctonia solani in tomato. Therefore, based on the findings, it was concluded that Pseudomonas fluorescens played a significant role as a potential biocontrol agent against damping off disease in tomato.

Published: June 2023

An experiment was conducted during rainy (kharif) and winter (rabi) season of 2018–19 and 2019–20 at the research farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana to study the effects of organic amendments and biofertilizers on biochemical and post-harvest parameters of guava fruits (Psidium guajava L. cv. Hisar Surkha). The experiment consisted of 19 treatments in different combinations and levels of RDF with vermicompost, farmyard manure, and biofertlizers were applied. The results revealed that almost all treatments with combined application of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients significantly influenced the biochemical and post-harvest parameters of guava fruits over control of which treatments T16 (RDF 100% + Farmyard manure + Azotobacter + PSB) and T17 (RDF 100 % + Vermicompost + Azotobacter + Phosphate solubilizing bacteria) proved most effective. All treatments had a significant impact on the total soluble solids, acidity, vitamin C, pectin and sugar content of fruit over the course of two years of experimentation. Shelf-life of fruits also increased with integrated use of 100% RDF with vermicompost and biofertilizers. Physiological loss in weight was minimum (9.73 and 18.34%; 9.61 and 18.46% after 4 and 8 days of harvesting) and shelf-life increased (4.74 and 6.85 days) in harvested fruit in T17 during rainy and winter season, respectively. The overall quality of the fruit was higher throughout the winter than during the rainy season. Hence, a portion of chemical fertilizers can be reduced in fertilization of guava plants through the integrated application of different organic amendments with improvement in different quality parameters.

Published: June 2023

Calcium hydroxide is a commonly used material in pulp capping procedures due to its favourable biological properties, including the ability to promote dentin bridge formation and stimulate reparative dentinogenesis. The mechanical properties of calcium hydroxide, including its compressive strength, flexural strength, and wear resistance, are relatively low, but they are not critical properties in pulp capping procedures. However, the composition and formulation of calcium hydroxide can vary depending on the manufacturer, and this can affect the material's physical and chemical properties, as well as its handling characteristics. Despite these variations, calcium hydroxide remains a popular choice for pulp capping due to its favourable biological properties and its long-standing history of use in dental procedures.

Authors: Rai Vishesh , Chauhan Vishesh Rai
Published: June 2023

The present study investigates the efficacy of digital marketing strategies in enhancing customer reach and sales for a tractor dealership, “Shyam Tractors of Sonalika International Tractors Limited,” located in Seoni, Madhya Pradesh, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The dealership adopted digital marketing to stimulate additional inquiries, leading to increased customer reach and sales. Of the total inquiries received over four months, 32% were sourced from digital marketing initiatives. These strategies encompassed the use of automation tools for continuous customer interaction, resulting in amplified brand visibility and customer trust, and fostering positive word-of-mouth. The findings suggest that the success of digital marketing strategies is contingent upon location, demographics, and target audience, emphasizing the necessity of customizing strategies to local market conditions. While digital marketing showed promising results, the continued relevance of traditional marketing underscores the need for a balanced marketing approach for optimal customer engagement. In summary, this study concludes that digital marketing strategies can effectively augment customer reach, sales, and engagement in the tractor industry, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty and market disruption. This implies that tractor dealerships could benefit significantly from integrating digital marketing strategies into their business models.

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have posed unprecedented challenges to healthcare professionals world- wide, including urologists. This study sought to evaluate the mental and physical health outcomes among urologists during this period. The study encompassed a sample of 150 urologists of varying ages and genders, using standardized scales to measure men- tal and physical health, activity levels, relationships, work-related stress, and preventive measures. Our findings underscored that urologists of both genders experienced significant psychological distress, with younger urologists (25-45 years) reporting higher levels of depression and anxiety. Doctors with higher hospital visit frequency exhibited more psychiatric morbidity, likely due to the heightened fear of virus exposure and subsequent risk to family members. The lockdown period was also marked by a decline in structured exercise and increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, leading to weight gain among participants. In light of these findings, we advocate for mental health outreach within the urology community, with a focus on younger professionals. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of adequate protective measures in hospitals, promoting healthier lifestyles, and social support systems to bolster mental and physical health in such crises. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term consequences of the pandemic on urologists’ health and to devise effective strategies to mitigate adverse effects.

Published: June 2023

This study explores the potential of the VGG-16 architecture, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, for accurate brain tumor detection through deep learning. Utilizing a dataset consisting of 1655 brain MRI images with tumors and 1598 images with- out tumors, the VGG-16 model was fine-tuned and trained on this data. Initial training achieved an accuracy of 91%, which was improved to 94% after hyperparameter optimization. The model’s sensitivity, specificity, precision, recall, and F1 scores were strong, indicating its potential in accurately detecting brain tumors. The performance of the VGG-16 model was compared to several other techniques for brain tumor detection, including EasyDL, GoogLeNet, GrayNet, ImageNet, CNN, and a Multivariable Regression and Neural Network model. Although it did not achieve the highest accuracy, it outperformed GoogLeNet and ImageNet and demon- strated comparable accuracy to GrayNet and the Multivariable Regression and Neural Network. Its sensitivity and specificity suggest its potential in identifying tumors that other methods might miss, reinforcing its potential usefulness in medical applications. Never- theless, there is room for improvement. Future studies could collect and annotate larger datasets to improve model generalizability. Exploring other deep learning architectures and enhancing model interpretability could further boost its clinical relevance. Despite these challenges, this study demonstrates the untapped potential of the VGG-16 architecture in brain tumor detection and contributes to the growing body of research on applying deep learning in the medical field.

On Deriving Statecharts Supervision Models from SDL Specifications Using SSM
Authors: Silva Filho Antonio Mendes da
Published: June 2023

This paper presents a discussion of using software supervision as a means of improving the software reliability of reactive systems during the in-use phase. Supervision software consists of monitoring both the inputs and outputs of a target system and checking them against the target system's specification. All discrepancies between observed sequences of signals and the target system's specification are reported as failures. The emphasis of this paper is on showing the suitability of using Statecharts as a formal technique to specify the reactive system supervisor. The target reactive system is assumed to be specified in SDL (Specification and Description Language). Statecharts-based Supervisor Modeling (SSM) is presented by using examples. As well, benefits of this approach are discussed.

Published: June 2023

This paper discusses compound graphs graphical editors. Besides offering relations modeled by arcs, also offer composition relations modeled by the content of nested subgraphs. When dealing with large and complex structures, we must not show all its components simultaneously, because the diagram would become very confusing and illegible. Our proposal presents an algorithm for filtering information using an extension of the fisheye-view strategy for compound graphs. This technique could be applied to many fields where the using of graphical editors is crucial. We present an implementation of our proposal for hypermedia systems, by building browsers that use and validate the algorithm.

Evaluating User Disorientation: A Comparison of Hypertext and Continuous Zooming Interfaces
Authors: Silva-Fh José Bezerra da , Páez Linda B. , Marchionini Gary
Published: June 2023

Hypertext systems have reached ubiquity in the World Wide Web (WWW). One of the most common side effects of hypertext use is disorientation and this problem is exacerbated in the WWW environment. Powerful workstations allow software engineers to create innovative interfaces that improve user performance while minimizing such side effects. One such innovation is continuous zooming, an interface mechanism that provides alternative control to scrolling and jumping. A series of studies were conducted to investigate how a continuous zooming interface affected user text comprehension performance in general and user disorientation. Results suggest that zooming in text is at least as good as hypertext jumping for comprehension tasks and that users are satisfied with zooming even with minimal practice.

Contextual Coordination between Objects
Authors: Buffo Mathieu , Buchs Didier
Published: June 2023

Notwithstanding the promises it provides for the future of software engineering, the object paradigm suffers from a lack of development methods focusing on the coordination between objects. The distinction of coordination and computation mechanisms is an important separation principle for increasing the management and understanding of the interactions among objects and the configurations of objects on the target systems. This paper shows that contextual coordination must be introduced during the object oriented analysis in order to early take into account the inevitable constraints of the concrete implementation. This contextual coordination leads to a hierarchical model composed of imbricated execution contexts of objects.

Published: June 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic, physicians provided virtual care to minimize viral transmission. This concurrent triangulation mixed-methods study assesses the use of synchronous telephone and video visits with patients and asynchronous eConsults by geriatric providers, and explores their perspectives on telemedicine use during the pandemic. Participants included physicians practicing in Ontario, Canada who were certified in Geriatric Medicine, or Care of the Elderly, or who were the most responsible physician in a long-term care for at least 10 patients. Participants’ perspectives were solicited using an online survey and themes were generated through a reflexive thematic analysis of survey responses. We assessed the current use of each telemedicine tool and compared the proportion of participants using telemedicine before the pandemic with self-predicted use after the pandemic. We received 29 surveys from eligible respondents (87.9% completion rate), with 75.9% being geriatricians. The telephone was most used (96.6%), followed by video (86.2%) and eConsults (64%). Most participants using telephone and video visits had newly implemented them during the pandemic and intend to continue using these tools post-pandemic. Our thematic analysis revealed that telemedicine plays an important role in the continuity of care during the pandemic, with increased self-reported positive perspectives and openness towards use of virtual care tools, although limited by inadequate physical exams or cognitive testing. Its ongoing use depends on the availability of continued remuneration.
Pyaar, Promise, Dhoka: Feminist Questions to Law – Commentary on Uday v. State of Karnataka (2003) 4 SCC 46
Authors: Sen Rukmini
Published: June 2023

This commentary is on one ‘promise to marry’ judgment and its feminist re-writing. Promise to marry cases involve a woman agreeing to sexual intercourse with a partner relying on his promise to marry her subsequently. In inter-caste relationships, the offer of promise to marriage as a basis for engaging in sexual intercourse raises complex issues. The impunity of the caste system means that if the promise is not followed through, the woman may not just feel betrayed, but also ‘dishonoured’, socially ostracized, and left with the option of approaching the court alleging rape on grounds of an absence of meaningful consent. The original judgment did not take into consideration this caste hierarchy and rejected the allegation of rape, suggesting that an ‘intelligent, consenting’ woman needed to be aware of the ‘impossibility’ of such marriages. The judgment thereby upheld endogamous caste practices. The feminist rewriting is critical of this perspective and also highlights the absence of any form of compensation to a woman who has been violated of her dignity and social status. Feminist questions on this issue require nuance, taking into consideration the caste-religion-gender intersectionality and at the same time not measuring all acts of betrayal through the vantage point of rape. This commentary proposes certain feminist questions to the law beyond the text and interpretation of existing legal provisions.
The Possibilities of Anti-Colonial Constitutionalism – Commentary on State of West Bengal v. Anwar Ali Sarkar and others AIR 1952 SC 75
Authors: De Rohit
Published: June 2023

The case of Anwar Ali Sarkar has been a founding precedent for equality jurisprudence in India and elsewhere. The case is most cited for the two-step reasonable classification test. Yet over the years, it has become increasingly clear that there are limitations to the test as a doctrinal framework to adjudicate equality. This article is a comment on Tarunabh Khaitan’s accompanying rewritten judgment on Anwar Ali Sarkar, which seeks to offer a more robust doctrine of equality grounded in the anti-colonial character of the Indian Constitution. In this piece, I locate the original judgment in its historical and socio-political context to understand the possibilities of building an anti-colonial jurisprudence of equality for and of the Indian Constitution, and to evaluate the differences between the original and rewritten judgments. I argue that the rewritten judgment offers a more robust defence of equality, in line with strands of anti-colonial ideas that shaped the framing of the Indian Constitution, as well as offering a restrained method for judicial interpretation that acknowledges historical context while centering the interpretation of law and rules.

Objectives: The current study aimed to compare the efficacy of the combination of methylphenidate (MPH) and fluoxetine (FLX) versus atomoxetine (ATX) in the symptoms and function of ADHD children with concurrent anxiety disorders. Methods: The current randomized clinical was conducted on 76 outpatient children with concurrent ADHD and anxiety disorder within 2020 - 2021. The patients were divided into two equal groups. The first group was treated with MPH (5 mg twice daily) plus FLX (10 - 20 mg daily); nevertheless, the second group received ATX with a dose of 1.4 mg/kg. The Conner’s Parents Rating Scale (CPRS), Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), and Children’s Anxiety Impact Scale-Child (CAIS-C) were applied to assess anxiety at the baseline and 1 month and 4 months after the interventions. Results: The mean age of the studied population was 9.26 ± 1.92 years (range: 6 - 12 years), and 46 subjects (57.89%) were male. The significant trends of improvement in both groups, regardless of the interventions in the assessments of all the scales, were noted (P < 0.001 for all the scales); however, the comparison of the groups revealed no differences in the CPRS (P = 0.397), SACRED (P = 0.663), and CAIS-C (P = 0.683). Conclusions: Based on the findings of this study, as ATX alone was as effective as MPH plus FLX for controlling anxiety disorders among ADHD children, ATX is preferred to apply fewer daily medications.
