Authors: Solomon Alemu , Kenenisa Beyene
Published: September 2023

For agrarian nations like Ethiopia, vertical integration of agriculture with industry sector is considered as one of the rural development strategies. Contract Farming is one of the strategies designed to bring about vertical integration between the industry and agricultural sectors. Heineken Brewery has introduced malt barley Contract Farming scheme in wheatbarley in Tiyo District of the Arsi Zone in 2014. The participation of local farmers in this Contract Farming is not as it should be. The overall objective of this study is, therefore, to assess factors affecting the farmers' participation in Contract Farming in the study area. The study is focused on Tiyo District as it is the early adapter of Contract Farming with huge potential of malty barley production from the entire zone. Relevant information has been collected from primary sources using self-administered questionnaire. A total of 98 respondents (44 participants and 54 non participants) were selected for the study. The collected data were analyzed using logistic regression model to identify important determinants of farmers' participation in Contract Farming. The result of the logistic model revealed the fact that households education level, land size, family size, extension contact (visit) and awareness were found to be the factors determining the probability of households' participation in Contract Farming in the study area. The project owners are recommended to design intervention mechanism focusing on those factors to enhance the participation of farmers in contract farm to ensure a sustained supply of malt barley needed for the brewery.

Objective: To explore and analyze the effect of carboprost tromethamine combined with uterine strap suturein the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage caused by uterine atony. Methods: A total of 90 patients with postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony who were admitted to the Obstetrics Department of Dazhou Women and Children’s Hospital from July 2020 to July 2023 were included in the study. They were grouped by odd and even numbers, and divided into the surgery group (n = 45) and the drug group (n = 45). The surgery group was treated with carboprost tromethamine and uterine strap suture, and the drug group was treated with carboprost tromethamine. The total effective rate, blood coagulation index, fibrinolytic function level, bleeding, and hemoglobin changes were compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate of the surgery group was significantly higher than that of the medication group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, the blood coagulation indicators were insignificant between the groups (P > 0.05); after treatment, the blood coagulation indicators in the surgery group were significantly better than those in the drug group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, the levels of fibrinolytic functions were insignificant between the groups (P > 0.05); aftertreatment, the levels of fibrinolytic functions in the surgery group were significantly better than those in the drug group (P < 0.05). The 2 h and 24 h blood loss and hemoglobin changes in the surgery group were significantly lower than those in the drug group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Carboprost tromethamine combined with strap sutures can effectively control postpartum hemorrhage caused by uterine atony.

Objectives: The rate of obesity has been increasing globally, so is the number of obese patients undergoingbariatric surgery. The relationship between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and body weight has beenhighlighted in recent years, but there are few related studies in China. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of BDNF in obese patients before and after bariatric surgery and to provide evidence for obesity-related mechanisms. Methods: The BDNF levels in 44 obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and 4.5 months after surgery. SPSS 27.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: Among the 44 patients, 30 were female and 14 were male. The body mass index (BMI) decreased significantly after bariatric surgery (P < 0.001); the serum BDNF of the patients significantly increased (P < 0.001) after surgery. There was no significant difference in BDNF among patients with different degrees of obesity before and after surgery (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in BMI and BDNF levels between different sexes before and after surgery (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The BDNF levels of obese patients increased significantly after bariatric surgery, which proved that bariatric surgery has an effect on BDNF levels.

Published: September 2023

The study was conducted within the Freshwater station of the Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute in Mymensingh from November 2019 to October 2020. The main objectives were to acquire additional knowledge regarding length-weight connection, condition factor, sex ratio, gonadosomatic index, and fecundity of P. sophore. It was possible to determine the spawning season each month by comparing the levels of the gonadosomatic index for the two sexes. Both sexes of the P. sophore species showed negative allometric growth, as indicated by the length-weight relationships of TW=0.0165TL2.852 for females and TW=0.035TL2.956 for males. For females, the average condition factor was 1.17±0.096, while for males, it was 3.24±0.19. Both times, the condition factor's value was high (>1), demonstrating that both sexes are in good health. From collected fish, 147 (55.12%) of the 264 fish samples that were taken were females, whereas 117 (44.88%) were males (Females: Males=1:0.82). The chi-square test showed that the male-to-female ratio during the sample months was not significantly different from 1:1 (χ2= 0.15, p>0.05). The spawning season extended from May through July, with June representing both sexes' peak spawning time. According to the study, the month of June had the highest absolute fecundity, which was 7829 and the absolute fecundity value was found to be lowest in the month of October 803 with an average value of about 3560 throughout the study period. For the management and protection of this species, this data will be valuable to researchers and those who decide on fisheries policy.

The aim of this study was to assess the agronomic performance and genetic parameters governing storage root yield and related traits in cassava genotypes in order to identify superior genotypes. The study involved 18 elite cassava genotypes which were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications and assessed for storage root yield and yield components (12 months after planting) in the Guinea savannah ecology of Ghana for three seasons. Analysis of variance indicated significant (p < 0.05) genotype and year main effects for fresh and dry root yields, dry matter content, starch yield and harvest index. Genotype × year effect was significant (p < 0.05) for fresh root yield, dry root yield and starch yield. Estimates of the variance components revealed greater genotypic influence for starch yield, fresh and dry root yields implying the potential for genetic gain with selection for these traits among the genotypes. Relatively high (69 %) broad sense heritability estimate was observed for dry storage root yield indicating the depth of genetic influence. Path coefficient analysis revealed a direct positive effect of dry matter content on dry storage root yield whilst dry storage root yield had direct positive effect on starch yield suggesting the possibility of indirect selection for starch yield through dry storage root yield. The study revealed ample genotypic variability among the cassava genotypes to warrant selection. Four genotypes, IBA 070134, IBA 419, IBA 950289 and IBA 980581 were identified for high and stable fresh and dry root yields for multilocational testing.

Keterampilan kolaborasi adalah salah satu keterampilan yang sangat dibutuhkan pada pembelajaran Abad 21. Keterapilan kolaborasi harus dimiliki oleh peserta didik untuk dapat bekerja sama dan bertoleransi secara efektif dengan anggota kelompok dalam diskusi, serta melatih kecakapan dalam pengambilan keputusan untuk mencapai kesepakatan bersama. Hasil observasi yang dilakukan peneliti di SMA Negeri 2 Semarang terlihat bahwa peserta didik masih memiliki kemampuan berkolaborasi yang rendah pada saat diskusi kelompok. Hal ini terlihat dari kegiatan diskusi hanya satu peserta didik saja menjelaskan sedangkan peserta didik lain tidak bekerja. Rendahnya keterampilan kolaborasi disebabkan oleh berbagai faktor diantaranya adalah belum optimalnya metode mengajar yang digunakan oleh guru. Metode tutor sebaya merupakan suatu kegiatan pembelajan di kelas atau luar kelas yang memberikan kesempatan kepada para siswa untuk saling berbagi ilmu pengetahuan dan keterampilannya kepada siswa lain. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan kolaborsi peserta didik dengan menggunakan metode tutor teman sebaya. PTK ini dirancang dalam 2 siklus dengan beberapa tahapan yaitu tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi dan refleksi. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis kuantitatif deskriptif. Didapatkan skor rata-rata pada siklus I sebesar 26.78 dan mengalami peningkatan pada siklus II sebesar 28.91. sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa metode tutor teman sebaya dapat meningkatkan keterampilan kolaborasi peserta didik pada mata pelajaran Biologi.

Dzikrullah merupakan karya yang terinspirasi dari ritual keagamaan Ratik Togak yang terdapat di daerah Kuantan Singingi Provinsi Riau. Ratik togak merupakan kesenian ritual bernuansa Islami yang gunanya untuk mengingat kebesaran Allah SWT dengan cara  Zikir bersama. Amalan zikir dan tahlil ini dilakukan masyarakat sambil berdiri yang pembacaannya dilakukan bersama dengan cara berulang-ulang yang terlebih dahulu diawali oleh Mursyid dengan tempo yang lambat kemudian dilakukan bersama-sama dengan tempo yang semakin lama semakin cepat dan kembali berubah kepada tempo yang lambat. Ratik Togak memiliki dua bentuk irama atau melodi yang dimainkan secara berulang ulang dari awal sampai akhir pertunjuka. Berdasarkan pengamatan, terhadap melodi Ratik Togak pengkarya menemukan bentuk tangga nada minor harmonis, tangga nada minor harmonis ini adalah salah satu skala minor, yang tersusun oleh delapan not. Interval antara not yang berurutan dalam skala minor harmonis adalah 1- ½,-1-1- ½- 1 ½, -½. Sebagai contoh skala minor harmonis adalah A-B-C-D-E-F-GIS-A. Modus ini akan menjadi ide utama bagi pengkarya untuk menciptakan sebuah bentuk garapan komposisi baru yang akan digarap dengan menggunakan  pendekatan Populer dengan Genre Melayu, tanpa menghilangkan unsur spiritual tradisi tersebut sehingga memenuhi standar sebuah seni pertunjukan sesuai dengan selera masa kini.Kata Kunci: Ritual; Ratik Togak; Agama Islam; Zikir     ABSTRACTDzikrullah is a work inspired by the religious ritual of Ratik Togak located in the Kuantan Singingi area of Riau Province. Ratik togak is a ritual art with Islamic nuances which is useful for remembering the greatness of Allah SWT by means of dhikr together. The practice of remembrance and tahlil is done by the community while standing, whose readings are carried out together in a repetitive way which is first initiated by the Mursyid at a slow tempo then carried out together with a tempo that is getting faster and faster and returns to a slow tempo. Ratik Togak has two forms of rhythm or melody that are played repeatedly from the beginning to the end of the performance. Based on observations, the composer found the Ratik Togak melody in the form of a harmonic minor scale, this harmonic minor scale is one of the minor scales, which is composed of eight notes. The interval between successive notes in the harmonic minor scale is 1- ,-1-1- - 1 , -½. An example of a harmonic minor scale is A-B-C-D-E-F-GIS-A. This mode will be the main idea for the artist to create a new form of composition that will be worked on using the Popular approach with the Malay Genre, without losing the spiritual element of the tradition so that it meets the standards of a performing art according to today's tastes.Keywords : Ritual; Ratik Togak; Islam; dhikr

Authors: Husni Wikal , Haris Asep Saepul , Rafiloza Rafiloza , Zulfahmi Muhammad
Published: September 2023

This musical composition, entitled Syncop Section, was inspired by the game Tapuak Galambuak, the traditional art of Randai in Minangkabau. Tapuak Galambuak is a very interesting game movement in Randai's energetic performance and serves as a transition from changing story segments in Randai art. The Tapuak Galambuak game has a musical movement, in which there is a Goreh vocal music system which is played in a syncopated game pattern with vocal syllables such as hep, tah, tih, has, intertwined with each other by clapping hands on galembong. The principle of the Tapuak Galambuak game has similarities with the rhythm of jazz music such as syncopation, improvisation and unison, so that it becomes a unique one if it is collaborated. Furthermore, the Syncop Section combines two different types of typical music (Tapuak Galambuak and Acid Jazz) but have the same playing principle. Acid Jazz is part of the Jazz music genre that combines several elements from other genres such as Funk, Disco, and Soul. Syncop Section's musical compositions are made using the popular music approach method in the Acid Jazz sub-genre using basic concepts and developments that give rise to a musical collaboration. This work is shown in audio visual form using the concept of Work From Home during the current pandemic. The form of application of this work is presented by means of audio-visual performances aimed at reaching a wider audience.

Authors: Gurrola-López Guadalupe Humberto , Rivera-Rodríguez Laura Beatriz , González-Bernal Marco Antonio , Medina-Osuna Rubén Eduardo
Published: September 2023

La cotorra argentina Myiopsitta monachus es una especie exótica invasora que ha incrementado su distribución en México, aunque su presencia en Sinaloa no ha sido evaluada. En mayo de 2013, registramos por primera vez a una pareja de M. monachus por el río Tamazula, a un costado del zoológico en la ciudad de Culiacán. Durante 2018, revisamos mensualmente la zona del río, tanto al este como oeste del avistamiento inicial, además realizamos recorridos hacia norte y sur para detectar presencia de M. monachus en la zona urbana adyacente al río. Obtuvimos más registros de M. monachus en la ribera del río Tamazula cerca del zoológico, donde hubo el primer registro en 2013 y donde observamos anidación. Además, obtuvimos registros de la especie al noreste del río Tamazula por Ciudad Universitaria, donde hubo grupos grandes de hasta 35 individuos. En 2021, recibimos reportes de M. monachus al lado oeste del río Humaya, construyendo nidos en postes de luz, a 3.7 km del primer registro en 2013. Con base en todas las observaciones estimamos un área de 2.6 km2 de distribución de M. monachus en Culiacán. Nuestros resultados dan alerta temprana de la expansión en distribución y crecimiento de la población de M. monachus en la ciudad. El uso de estructuras urbanas para la construcción de nidos, así como registros de M. monachus cerca de la frontera urbana, representa un riesgo para la infraestructura y las especies nativas, por lo que se requieren programas de control de la especie.

Authors: Kanukov Zaurbek T.
Published: September 2023

The article analyzes the features of the funeral rites of the Alans and Persians in the context of the evolution of their religious worldview under the influence of economic, social and cultural external and internal factors. Studies of the ancient funeral rites of representatives of the all-Iranian world - Alans and Persians, allow us to better understand its deep meaning, and the revealed parallels in the ritual and spiritual practices of the Alanian and ancient Persian funeral cultures, as well as convergences in religious ideas, can contribute to the reconstruction of Indo-Iranian culture in general. The article analyzes the methods of burial among the Alans and Persians with the involvement of ethnographic, archaeological and written sources. The study of archaeological materials of ancient Persian and Alanian origin makes possible to establish a number of religious pre-Zoroastrian features of the ancient Iranians and to identify similarities in the funeral rites of the two ethnic groups. An important aspect of the problem is the influence of Zoroastrianism on cultural landmarks and religious beliefs. Some cult representations of the Indo-Iranians of the Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age, which are reflected in funeral rites, are also defined .The revealed convergences are an echo of the culture of the all-Iranian world, they may also be the result of contacts between the Persians and the Alanian elite. The article also attempts to identify a common religious interpretation of some elements of the Alanian and Persian funeral rites, as well as to establish their continuity in relation to the modern funeral practices of the peoples being studied. It is assumed that the study will contribute both to the solution of the important task of reconstructing the pan-Iranian cultural world and identifying Alan-Persian cultural contacts.

Este artigo é uma primeira aproximação sobre os trabalhos de Maja Smrekar, que evocam experiências onde o estar junto, o viver junto inter- -espécie provoca multiplicidades, mudanças e problematizações. O mito da humanidade, baseado na sua singularidade é implodido, revelando nos trabalhos sob o título K-9:Topology a experiência da co-parentalidade e co-domesticação entre humanos e animais. Propondo repensar a instrumentalização social e ideológica do corpo da mulher. O corpo da mulher é influenciado por normas sociais e pela objetificação. Por trás das aparências espetaculares, das obras desenvolvidas e, para alguns, controversas, K-9_topology nos oferece a oportunidade de refletir sobre questões incômodas como a instrumentalização e coisificação dos corpos femininos, a posição problemática da espécie humana no topo e no centro do ecossistema, as ambiguidades de práticas e promessas biotecnológicas, as relações entre arte e vida multiespécies. Estes trabalhos de arte apontam para outros modos de vida, outros modos de parentesco, outras formas de produção de conhecimento sobre arte, realidade, natureza, e o lugar do humano entre as espécies terrestres.
A Tihanyi alapítólevél szórványaihoz: Tichon, Balatin, Petre, Fuk
Authors: Hoffmann István
Published: September 2023

This paper joins in the debate initiated by Onomastic Review concerning methodological problems and basic principles of historical onomastics. The author re-analyses some Hungarian words of the the oldest authentic linguistic record of Hungarian (1055) which survived in the original version. By reviewing earlier relevant ideas the author wishes to prove that from time to time there is a need for modernising our knowledge about the most important linguistic records of Hungarian in the light of the results of recent research. The place-name Tihany comes from a Slavic personal name, though it is argued whether the place-name itself is the result of a Hungarian or Slavic name giving process. The author also analyses four more place-names of the Carpathian Basin that can be derived from the same stem. The Slavic origin of the place-name Balaton is beyond doubt, but earlier opinions need to be refined regarding both the constituents of the etymon and the sound changes that have taken place in Hungarian. Names Balatin ~ Bolatin might reflect Latinised name forms used frequently in contemporary charters. It is questionable whether the word Petra in the charter is a Hungarian place name or a Latin common noun meaning ‘rock, cliff’. Considering its relation to the Latin context the author claims that in all probability Petra is a Hungarian place-name. The author tries to reconstruct the meaning of the hydronym Fok as well as identify the landscape it refers to.

A tulajdonnév köznevesülésének jelentésváltozási folyamatai
Authors: Seifert Stefanie
Published: September 2023

This paper deals with the semantic processes that take place during the transition of a proper noun to an appellative (i.e. during appellativisation). Tanja Anstatt has developed an effective model by means of which the semantic changes in the process of appellativation can be precisely described. She gives a typology of the appellativised proper nouns on the basis of Volkmar Lehmann’s description of word formation processes, using Polish examples. This model is based on the tropes “metaphor”, “metonymy” and “synecdoche” as results of the (part-) processes of modification, recategorization, profilation, transprofilation and synthetic combination. In general, during the transition process of a proper noun to an appellative more than just one of the above part-processes operate. The author applies Anstatt’s system to Hungarian examples. The author also discusses some misinterpreted examples of appellativised proper nouns that can easily be “unmasked” with the help of the adopted typology. The improved typology presented in the paper, however, does not make a claim to be complete or final; it should rather be taken as a proposal which, with the five part-processes, gives a tool to describe each type of appellativised proper noun. Further investigation of a larger word stock, and especially of words taken from the spoken language, can make the above typology more complete and thus more valid.
Az Amerikai Egyesült Államok tagállamainak hivatalos és informális elnevezéseiről, a tagállamnevek magyar fordításáról
Authors: Bölcskei Andrea
Published: September 2023

This paper presents some general features of name giving processes adopted by Europeans arriving in the recently discovered New World in colonial times and soon after, laying special emphasis on naming practices (e.g. giving names in honour of royalty or other prominent personalities of the era; repeating names of other places; giving Christian-related, literary names; reflecting geographical, historical or scientific knowledge of the age in place-names; producing linguistically non-homogeneous geographical names) that were essentially different from those used in Europe for centuries to produce the basic place-name stock of the old continent. The author categorises official US state names according to their semantics (differentiating names indicating a geographical entity, a historical person, the Indian inhabitants, a geographic feature, a distant place, an important settlement and complex motivating factors relating to the states) and their language origins (distinguishing names of Indian, English, Spanish, French, Latin and Polynesian origin). US state nicknames are also described with respect to their function (e.g. actual nicknames, mottos, slogans), style (e.g. official, semi-official, non-official, common, frequent, rare, disused names) and motivation (e.g. names referring to the geographical features, the economic or political features, the history, the inhabitants and other features of the states). Translation operations adapted in creating the Hungarian equivalents of US state names are also observed in the paper.
Újabb adatok a középkori jobbágyi-mezővárosi személynévadás kérdéséhez
Authors: Gulyás László Szabolcs
Published: September 2023

Between the 14th and 16th centuries significant changes affected the structural patterns of Hungarian personal names. This process is usually examined in the literature on the basis of names found in different medieval registers. The most important characteristics of changes are presented in this paper by using a name stock of approximately 2000 personal names gained from market town documents spanning 200 years. Data clearly display the process of how the forms of the personal names in the charters turned into Hungarian, and how Latin elements faded away at the same time.
Ragadványnév-adási motivációk budapesti fiatalok körében
Authors: Heltovics Éva
Published: September 2023

This paper carries out a motivation-based categorisation of the nicknames of 200 young people (100 females and 100 males) living in Budapest. Nicknames referring to physical characteristics, especially clothing, constitute the most frequent category. Many nicknames refer to film characters as well. Names relating to music are also numerous. These motivating factors are undoubtedly connected to fashion trends. Fashion trends thus influence not only the life style, clothing and hair style of young people, but also affect their nickname giving practices. Most nicknames are given by friends, family members or acquaintances, but many names are invented by the name bearers themselves to enrich their identities. The high degree of creativity of the young is manifested in these pet names: a leg in a cast, a bad temper as well as a favourite brand of yoghurt can equally be a motivating factor behind nicknames.
The Effect of Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) Strategy on Students' Reading Comprehension

Published: September 2023

The study aimed to investigate the notable impact of the Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) approach on the students' reading comprehension. The study was carried out at MAN 2, Palembang. The present study employed a quasi-experimental design utilizing quantitative research methodology. The researchers employed the convenience sampling method to gather data. The data were obtained via a reading comprehension test administered to students in the two classes, experimental and control. The study's findings examining the impact of implementing DRTA before and after utilizing a paired sample t-test indicate that the calculated T value of 27.797 exceeds the t-table value of 3.030. Thus, implementing the DRTA approach enhanced the students' reading comprehension in the experimental group. An independent sample t-test was conducted to examine the outcomes of the disparity between individuals who utilized the Directed Reading-Thinking Activity (DRTA) and those who did not. The findings showed that notable disparities in reading comprehension existed among students who received instruction via DRTA and those who did not. The DRTA technique offers advantageous outcomes for students as it fosters active and critical reading practices. Students enrolled in reading courses that engage in prediction and active reading demonstrates a proactive approach to learning, effectively harnessing their cognitive abilities to acquire knowledge on unfamiliar subjects. Furthermore, DRTA mandates that students maintain a record of their understanding of the text while reading.
