Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSR), developed by expressed sequence tag (EST) databases is an economical and efficient tools that can be used to perform genetic investigations at a functional level. Here, a new sugarcane database of transcriptome from our variety, GT35, was examined for the presence of SSRs. To test the utility of EST-derived SSR markers, a total of 51 new EST-SSRs were identified for possible use as potential genetic markers from no redundant SSR-positive ESTs, which were unmapped with the sequences available in the NCBIâ€™EST database of sugarcane by BLASTN. Polymorphisms of the identified 51 EST-SSR markers were evaluated in 21 sugarcane genotypes, planted and collected in 2013 at Sugarcane Research Institute of Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences (SRI-GXAAS) in China. High polymorphisms were detected in terms of number of alleles ranging from 5-36 with an average of 16.8 per locus and polymorphism information content values ranging from 0.74 to 0.95 with a mean of 0.92. Average transferability to Erianthus arundinaceus and Narenga porphyrocoma was 23.9% and 34.4%, respectively. The ability to establish genetic relationship was analyzed by cluster analysis, the result of which revealed that the major grouping was in accordance with taxonomical classification. The development of new EST-SSR markers presented in this work will have important implications for genetic analysis and breeding.

Partnership among institutions have been globally recognised as useful tool for effective extension for development of agriculture and rural dwellers. This have been proved through a national level public-private partnership-based technology dissemination extension model that was executed across 15 states of India categorized into six regions for the period from 2009-10 to 2015-16. There were 13 public institutions (9 SAUs and 4 ICAR institutes) and 41 voluntary organizations involved in this project with ICAR-IARI, New Delhi as the nucleus institution from where the multi-disciplinary integrated technology and packages were disseminated. The programme was monitored and evaluated through a well-structured inbuilt mechanism of annual review workshop, project area visits; monthly, six monthly and annual progress reporting and contingency field level workshop. During the period of six years, 21211 on-farm technology demonstrations were conducted which covered 6565 ha of area. About 30000 farmers across 15 selected states were directly and indirectly benefitted from different interventions of the project.The farmer level feedback helped to evolve two new varieties of paddy and participatory on-farm seed production ensured self-sufficiency by way of generating the quality seed pool for paddy (4526 q), wheat (7965 q) and vegetables (15 q). Based on the experiences, expected potential of the outcome have been implicated.
cultural input markets in India – Recent policy reforms and way forward: A review
Authors: Padmaja Subash Surendran , J Balaji S , Pal Suresh
Published: November 2022

The paper reviews the policies in three major input sectors; seeds, pesticides and fertilisers. There are many new policies (regulations and acts) which are recently implemented, few recommended and few others yet to be implemented. The new policies and regulations are tailored for the changing dynamics in the input sector and are intended to have greater implications on restructuring the sector. The input sectors are governed by different actors and roles. The current challenges in the agri-input markets are lack of quality seeds and emerging technology policy conundrums in seed sector, lower innovation and research and development in pesticide sector, and subsidy governance in fertilizer sector. We have discussed how these challenges are being addressed by the new policies and what is the plausible way forward.

Published: November 2022

A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi to evaluate better irrigation water supply with nitrogen fertilization scheduling option to achieve maximum yield of spring planted sugarcane (Sachharum officinarum L.). Experiment was laid out in split plot design. The treatment consisted of three irrigation methods, viz. flood, furrow and drip; five nitrogen scheduling, viz. farmers practice, 4 splits, 6 splits, 8 splits and 10 splits. Results of the study indicated that higher number of tillers, leaf area index, number of millable canes and cane stalk yield were found under drip irrigation as compared to flood and furrow irrigation. Drip irrigation increase 22.30% cane stalk yield than irrigation through flood method. Significantly highest phenological growth, yield attributing characters and cane stalk yield were recorded with 6 splits of nitrogen application. Nitrogen application through farmers practice reduced 8.83 and 9.56% cane yield during two consecutive years, respectively. The overall effect of nitrogen application scheduling was in the order of 6 splits > 8 splits >10 splits >4 splits >farmers practice.

Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most important fruit crops of the country well known for health benefits. Varietal variations are recorded in quality of grapes and processed products. In present study 10 grape varieties (white seedless and colour seeded) were evaluated for properties of grapes and raisins. Bigger bunches were recorded in H-27 and closely followed by Manjari Naveen while maximum weight of 10 berries was observed in E8-5. Among these higher TSS was recorded in Manjari Kishmish (22.40Â°B) while Manjari Naveen variety was noted with minimum TSS (18.13Â°B). Raisin recovery was ranged from 22.88% in H-27 to 26.40% in Manjari Kishmish. Weight of 50 raisins was maximum in Carolina Blackrose (50.38 g) while Thompson Seedless was registered with minimum weight of 50 raisins. Raisins obtained from Kishmish Moldoski contained maximum reducing sugar (55.43 g/100 g) followed by Black Maladein (51.04 g/100g) while minimum reducing content in was recorded in raisins from Gulabi (31.93 g/100 g). Raisins from Manjari Kishmish contained higher protein (43.94 mg/g) and same raisins were found with maximum carbohydrate content (776.43 mg/g). Raisins obtained from grapes of H17 contained higher values of phenols and anthocyanins. Sensory studies showed that raisins obtained from Thompson Seedless scored maximum for overall acceptability while Carolina Blackrose was favored for color. Raisins of Manjari Naveen were found flavor and appreciated.

An ongoing long-term field experiment established in the year 1994 at Vegetable Science Research Farm, CCS HAU, Hisar, India under different vegetable cropping systems was selected to study the effects of sodic water irrigation, gypsum and farmyard manure on labile soil organic carbon fractions and available nutrients in soil. The present study was conducted after 20 years of experimentation during 2014-2015. The field was irrigated with high RSC (11.5 me/l) sodic water having three treatment levels each of gypsum, viz G0 control, G1=50 % neutralization of RSC, G2=100% neutralization of RSC, as well as FYM (F0 = control, F1= 10 tons/ha, F2 =20 tons/ha) in a sandy loam Typic Ustochrept. Results showed that the pH of soil was very high under F0G0, and it decreased with the use of FYM and gypsum as amendments, however a reverse trend was observed in electrical conductivity. There was an increase in different carbon fractions and available nutrients when FYM was applied over no FYM application. Application of gypsum increased microbial biomass carbon, light fraction carbon and available nutrients (N, P, S) content in the soil but dissolved organic carbon and available K content was found decreased. It can be concluded that application of FYM @20 t/ha along with gypsum @100% neutralization of RSC of irrigation water should be applied for maintaining soil quality and productivity.

Published: November 2022

Bruchid (Callasobruchus sp.) is the most devastating pest causing severe damage to the blackgram seeds during storage. Hence it is essential to identify a genotype which is resistant to bruchids. A total of 61 blackgram genotypes were artificially screened for their resistance against Callasobruchus maculates at National Pulses Research Center, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Pudukkottai during 2017. Among the genotypes TU 68 had comparatively less number of adult emergence in 40, 50, 60, 70, 105 days after infestation, less seed damage (%) and less seed weight loss (%). Genotype TU 68 was found to be resistant in the confirmatory experiment also. Less number of adult emergences even at the end of 105 days indicated the prolonged developmental period which is also a mechanism of bruchid resistance. TU 68 was derived from the interspecific cross TU 94-2 × Vigna mungo var. silvestris. TU 68 could be utilized in the hybridization programme to develop high yielding blackgram variety inbuilt bruchid resistance.

Published: November 2022

The performance of logistic regression, discriminant analysis, and random forest has been compared for the prediction of evaporation of different regions of India during 2019 at ICAR-IARI, New Delhi . The present experiment was performed at Raipur (Chhattisgarh), Karnal (Haryana), Pattambi (Kerala) and Anantpur (Andhra Pradesh). Evaporation and other weather parameters are collected from the year 1985-2012, 1973-2005, 1991-2005 and 1958-2010 respectively. The performance of the techniques is compared using classification, misclassification, and sensitivity of the model along with the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve and Area Under Curve (AUC) value. The combinations of variables as independent variables are used in two sets. In the first set, maximum & minimum temperature, relative humidity morning & evening, wind speed, rainfall, and bright sunshine hours are used. In the second set mean temperature, mean relative humidity, bright sunshine hours, and wind speed is used to see the effect on evaporation. It is found that more accuracy is obtained using the second set as predictors. The model validation accuracy is checked via running developed model on out of sample data, i.e. testing data (last three years). The study demonstrates that the random forest approach predict evaporation in a much better way than logistic regression, discriminant analysis. The random forest model can provide timely information for the decision-makers to make crucial decisions impacting due to evaporation conditions in India.

Identidad, alteridad, intercultura: orientaciones conceptuales entre estereotipos e imaginario social
Authors: Gianturco Giovanna , Colella Francesca
Published: November 2022

The concept of otherness involves that of identity, with which it carries on a dialogical and dialectical relationship. “Je est un autre”: I am another, we might say, recalling the words of the French poet Arthur Rimbaud. This formula, however, can be understood only if set in a context of permanent becoming identity is not a bit of information, a monolith, but rather a process that presupposes and needs otherness. “There is no given I which does not, inevitably, refer to a You, a contact, a relationship”. The theory of social representations takes as its starting point the diversity among subjects, and “its aim is to discover how individuals and groups can construct a stable, predictable world based on such diversity”. To understand these phenomena better and to advance our reasoning further, it is certainly useful to go back to the definition of social representation formulated by Jodelet – in the wake of Émile Durkheim – according to whom it appears as a system of values, notions, and practices with a dual vocation. On the one hand, the vocation of installing an order that orientates subjects in their social and material environment, managing to “dominate” it, and on the other, the vocation of ensuring communication between the members of a community, offering them an unambiguous code for denominating, and classifying the component parts of their individual stories and the history of the world in which they are immersed.
La representación social de los migrantes durante la pandemia de Covid-19. Un estudio de caso italiano sobre narrativas hostiles y comunicación política visual
Authors: Blasetti Eugenia , Garzonio Emma
Published: November 2022

The present research investigates the social categorisation and construction of immigrants in Italy during the Covid-19 pandemic. For this purpose, hostile political narratives deployed on Twitter by three monitored Italian political forces (Matteo Salvini - La Lega party -Giorgia Meloni - Fratelli d’Italia - and the neofascist movement Casa Pound) and their visual representation of migration and migrants were analysed. Following a defined theoretical framework on the phenomena of othering, moral panic, processes of social exclusion and the role the “new” digital media play in such processes - especially in terms of negative and emotional political communication - the analysis deconstructs and identifies the founding elements of the political narratives on migrants, focusing on their visual component. The review of the sociological literature on the construction and representation of diversity and otherness introduces the empirical case study of the digital and visual communication monitoring performed from March 2020 to December 2021. Through the qualitative analysis of the visual content retrieved from the tweets collected, recurrent themes and communication strategies were investigated, determining the identification of four macro-categories upon which the construction and representation of immigrants and migration was carried out in the chosen context.

This paper studies the presence of female directors and creators in Spanish fiction series released by Movistar+, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video between 2019 and 2021. We reviewed the literature, analysed the technical specifications of the 66 Spanish fiction series released during the study period on the 3 platforms and carried out a semi-structured questionnaire with 15 female directors and creators to find out their perspective on the situation of women in the Spanish audiovisual industry. The results indicate a great inequality in decision-making positions, with women occupying 29.7% of these roles. Parity is a distant goal, with only 20.9% of female directors, 32% of female producers and 33.4% of female scriptwriters, while only 6.1% of titles are conceived with a gender approach. The difficulties faced by women in the sector and the prejudices about their ability are highlighted, as well as the need for them to occupy positions of responsibility and to be able to promote a greater presence of women in the teams.

8 - The Role of ICT in Curtailing Electoral Fraud and Violence in Nigeria: A Study of the 2019 General Election in Lagos State
Authors: Chukwuma Ifeanyi .U.
Published: November 2022

Elections can be described as the hallmark of democracy and integral for a democratic society to remain stable. However, electoral process in Nigeria has been marred with fraud and violence. Electoral violence and fraud remain a major threat to the stability of democracy in Nigeria. To reduce the occurrence of violence and fraud, INEC introduced the Smart Card Reader (SCR) which was used to verify the authenticity of the Permanent Voters Card (PVC). The use of ICT during the 2019 elections limited the extent to which political actors can intimidate or harass INEC officials to commit electoral fraud, it also reduced the number of electoral petitions and in Lagos State, there was a reduction in violence experienced during the elections.

Published: November 2022

The adoption of technology in electoral democracy in Africa has been on the increase. The introduction of technology has its positive consideration but it also comes with cost and trust implications, which is a paradox. This study is a descriptive work which made use of both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Electionadministrationtheorywasadopted.Toimproveontheuseofdigital technologies, Africans should be mindful of the failure of digital checks and balances that often render an electoral process even more vulnerable to rigging than it was before. In designing new systems for election management, this article argues that Africans should look inward and integrate the new technologies into relevant environmental and cultural settings in order to reduce the cost while improving on the trust of electorates.

Kemungkinan faktor ini akan mempengaruhi kepuasan kerja guru biologi dan akhirnya mempengaruhi tugas kinerja guru adalah masalah penelitian ini. Survei kausal yang digunakan dengan memilih 90 SMA secara acak dan guru biologi sebagai sampel. Ada tiga instrumen yang dikembangkan untuk mengukur yaitu kinerja, budaya sekolah dan kepuasan kerja yang telah divalidasi. Data dianalisis melalui regresi, korelasi dan analisis jalur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja guru dipengaruhi secara langsung dan signifikan oleh sekolah budaya dan kepuasan kerja, dan berdasarkan temuan ini, kepuasan kerja adalah variabel mediasi yang baik dalam menghubungkan budaya sekolah dan kinerja tugas guru. Itu adalah temuan yang logis ketika guru berprestasi diharapkan lebih positif, semua guru, terutama guru biologi, membutuhkan suasana yang positif yang tercermin dari budaya sekolah dan juga sejauh mana guru merasa puas diperlakukan oleh sistem sekolah. Oleh karena itu, pengambil kebijakan pendidikan harus lebih memperhatikan bagaimana meningkatkan budaya sekolah agar lebih kondusif, guru merasa lebih puas kemudian akan berdampak pada kualitas sekolah yang dicerminkan oleh kinerja guru.

Dalam dunia pendidikan, kita banyak mengenal berbagai macam ragam metode pengajaran, salah satunya metode sosiodarma dan bermain peran. Untuk mencapai tujuan pendidikan guru dituntut menguasai metode-metode pengajaran, sehingga selain tercapainya tujuan, siswa dapat menerima, mencerna, paham dan mengerti pelajaran yang di ajarkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatan teknik bermain peran terhadap kemampuan berbicara siswa yang dilakukan dalam dua siklus dengan proses perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pengamatan dan refleksi. Pada siklus 1 pencapaian nilai tertinggi dan rata rata nilai belajar siswa adalah 75 dan pada siklus II adalah 94 mengalami peningkatan dibanding dengan kondisi prasiklus. Namun dari hasil yang dicapai belum mencapai hasil yang diharapkan karena 27 siswa masih memperoleh nilai dibawah KKM. Sehingga dari hasil refleksi harus diadakan beberapa perbaikan pada siklus II dengan cara meningkatkan metode bermain peran dengan pembagian kelompok drama dimana masing masing siswa bermain sesuai dengan tokoh, karakter masing masing dalam cerita tersebut sehingga hasil yang diperoleh mengalami peningkatan yaitu rata rata nilai tertinggi 84 pada prasiklus, nilai 90 pada siklus 1 dan menjadi 94 pada siklus II.

Do Land Market Restrictions Hinder Structural Change in a Rural Economy? Evidence from Sri Lanka
Authors: Emran M. Shahe , Shilpi Forhad
Published: November 2022

This paper investigates the effects of land market restrictions on structural change from agriculture to non-agriculture in a rural economy. A model with higher migration costs due to land restrictions identifies the possibility of a reverse structural change where the share of non-agricultural employment declines. For identification, this paper exploits a natural experiment in Sri Lanka, where historical malaria played a unique role in land policy. The evidence indicates significant adverse effects of land restrictions on manufacturing and services employment. Land restrictions increase wage employment in agriculture but reduce it in manufacturing and services, with no effects on self-employment in non-agriculture.
