Effect of Increasing Concentration of Nitrogen on the Composition and Yield of Rice
Authors:   Department of Agricultural Chemistry, College Of Agriculture, Vellayani Trivanduram, P PADMAJA
Published: October 2023

A hydroponic experiment was conducted to study the effect of increasing levels of N on the yield and plant composition and critical levels of nitrogen in the straw for maximum grain and straw yield for the rice variety. Ratna. There was a sharp increase in nitrogen concentration and uptake upto 100 ppm.N.and thereafter it was gradual Up to 40 ppm the concentration of N in the grain was more than that of the straw and vice versa at still higher levels. N was more concentrated at higher levels in the straw than in the grain. The concentration of plant nutrients like P. K. Mg and Fe as well as uptake increased from 40 to 60 ppm N and remained more or less constant at still higher levels. These nutrients are highly essential for the better utilization of absorbed nitrogen whereas Sio, and Ca concentration and uptake decreased progressively with N uptake. The lodging of rice plants observed at higher levels of nitrogen might be due to the decreased concentra- tion of these elements in the plants.

Studies carried out on the transmission of little leaf mycoplasma of Solanum melongena by Hishimonus phycitis revealed that the minimum acquisition and inocula tion feeding period was one hour each, while the optimum was 24 and 48 hr respectively. A minimum incubation period of 15 days was observed to be essential in" the vector for successful transmission. However, the vector reached the maximum transmitting ability after an incubation period of 23 days. The optimum incubation period of the mycoplasma in the host plant was recorded to be 35.67 days. There was no transovarial transmission of the mycoplasma. A single vector was able to transmit the causal organism, although the maximum percentage of infection in the test plants was achieved only when five vectors were used per plant.

To study the depth distribution of different forms of calcium, eight soil profiles were chosen representing eight established soil series in Tamil Nadu at the rate of two series under each of black. red. alluvial and laterite soil groups. The contents of different forms of calcium such as total, exchangeable, water soluble and free calcium carbonate were estimated. Total calcium varied with the types of soil and it was of the following order: black, alluvial, red and laterite soils. In general. it increased with depth. Exchangeable calcium also followed a trend similar to total calcium and it increased with depth of the profile. Water soluble calcium was highest in black soil and least in laterite soil. There was no regular trend of changes in the content of water soluble calcium with depth. Free calcium carbonate was found to be present only in black, red and alluvial soils. Soil topography was observed to influence the calcium carbonate content of the soil.

The crassability of eight wheat varieties (four each of hexaploid and tetraploid wheats) with six diplaid rye varieties of diverse geographic origin, was studied. Among the eight wheat parents. Sharbati Sonora and H-132-4 among hexaploids and 3-2 and S, C among tetraploids were found to have high crossability with rye varieties. In general, the seed set in hexaploid wheat x rye crosses was low but the germination percentages were higher. The reverse was the case in tetraploid wheat x rye crosses. Wherever Russian rye was involved as a male parent. the seed set was high in tetraploid wheat combinations. The differential behaviour of the varieties with regard to seed setting and germination could be attributed to the differential genetic back-grounds.

Six planting patterns and split application of nitrogen were tried with rice varieties Kanchi and Kannagi. Kanchi was found to be superior to Kannagi in which split appli- cation of N had least effect on grain yield. Planting 100 hills per m² with one seedling per hill recorded the highest grain yield of 7000 kg/ha followed by 50 hills per m with two seedlings per hill with 6700 kg/ha. Planting more than two seedlings per hill and adopting wider spacing significantly reduced the grain yield due to over crowd- ing and mutual shading resulting in intra-plant competition.

The grain yield was reduced by 16-32 per cant in different rice varieties under water- logged conditions. The yield was affected mostly by reduction in panicles per unit area. However, cultivar NC. 1281 showed even an increase in yield under water-logged soil. Water-logging had impaired growth constituents like TDW, LAI and nitrogen uptake. The adoptability of NC. 1281 to water-logged habit was attributed to the production of high dry matter at flowering and its contribution to grain yield.

Published: October 2023

A discussão de gênero na educação é uma temática atual e ampla. Assim, este artigo tem por objetivo conhecer os conceitos de corpo, gênero e sexualidade, de modo a examinar sob a ótica da Pedagogia da Autonomia, possibilidades de ressignificar as concepções de gênero no processo educacional.  Para tanto, por meio da técnica bibliográfica refletiu-se sobre: a) os conceitos de corpo, gênero e sexualidade; b) à Pedagogia da Autonomia, de Freire, enquanto uma possibilidade de ressignificar as concepções de gênero no processo educacional. Esta investigação configura-se como uma breve reflexão de cunho revisional teórico acerca do tema, que versou um debate no intuito de uma educação verdadeiramente democrática, com base na igualdade de gênero. Acredita-se que a concepção freiriana de pedagogia da autonomia é atemporal e pode ser acionada para enfrentar questões contemporâneas (corpo, gênero e sexualidade). Concluímos como imprescindível o respeito a autonomia dos alunos por parte da instituição escolar, considerando e compreendendo a multiplicidade de suas subjetividades, para fortalecer seus processos de autoconstrução. Por meio desses mecanismos autônomos de construção consciente de subjetividades será possível consolidar, na prática docente, o respeito à diversidade de gênero e às sexualidades diversas, rompendo com padrões e estereótipos nocivos e violentos.
From Militia to Army: Ganda Koy's Struggle for Political Legitimacy in Mali
Authors: Hernández Andrew
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In response to the occupation of northern Mali in 2012, Ganda Koy, a primarily Songhay militia, has attempted to increase its political legitimacy within and beyond Mali, in part through more formalized integration within the Malian army. To justify such integration, many of its leaders have highlighted its combat and surveillance prowess while portraying it as supportive of a racially and ethnically unified Mali, thereby contrasting it with more Tuareg- or Arabseparatist militias based in the Sahara Desert. It has presented itself as a grassroots organization; however, many in its ranks publicly argue for a more Songhay- and Blacknationalist approach to Malian politics. While such an attitude might privately resonate among much of the political elite in Bamako, it contrasts with Mali's postcolonial myth as a harmonious ethnic melting pot and serves to undermine Ganda Koy's integration in more formal state institutions.

From Rule of Law to the Law of the Ruler: The Twofold Upheaval of the Israeli Right
Authors: Mark Maya
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: In January 2023, Israel's newly formed coalition under the leadership of the Likud party began to promote a reform that would alter the nature of the regime and undermine the democratic tenets of the separation of powers, judicial review, and the independence of the judicial branch. The article determines that the planned government overhaul diverges sharply from the historic path of "The Likud," and directly contradicts the worldview and policies held by the party's founding father and leader for over three decades, Menachem Begin. In this respect, what is referred to by the current government as a "judicial reform" is in fact a twofold project that aims to reform the regime as well as the foundational policies of law upheld by the ruling political party in Israel for the past four decades. The article sheds light on the substantive ideology attributed to the "right" and the "left" in Israel's political historiography and determines that the essential principles of the proposed reform are not intrinsic to right-wing ideology and should not be identified as such. The sharp departure revealed by the right-wing reform policy and its ideas on questions of democracy and governance at this watershed moment provide a theoretical-historical basis for the analysis of their motivations and processes.
Multiple Faces of the Same Coin: Religious Muslim Women in Israel Struggle with an Identity Crisis
Authors: Alinat-Abed Salwa
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Muslim women activists in the Islamic Movement who are citizens of Israel, a Jewish-majority state, and members of a Palestinian minority live in a complex tangle of identities: religious, national, gender, and civilian. To cope with this complicated reality, they use patriarchal bargains based on social strategies such as gaining higher education, work, da ʿ wah (dissemination of religious knowledge to encourage the return to Islam), and political involvement. Within the framework of those bargains, female Islamic Movement activists subsequently have become involved in informal politics and gained power and influence in their society. In addition, they follow religious principles like musayarah (flowing with reality) and tawriyah (concealment, sending a double message to avoid provocations with their Israeli surroundings.)
Negotiating Gender and Religion: Comparative Perspectives from Judaism and Islam
Authors: Anteby-Yemini Lisa
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Women in Orthodox Judaism and mainstream Islam are discriminated against in Muslim and Jewish family law; subjected to rulings elaborated by men regarding female purity and reproductive rights; segregated in the spaces of synagogues and mosques; and excluded from advanced study, interpretation of religious law ( fiqh and halakha ), and spiritual leadership. Gender-nonconforming believers have no place, either. Nonetheless, since the mid-twentieth century, Jewish and Muslim women as well as sexual minorities have been making claims for gender justice, attempting to change from within these conservative religions. The article shows convergences and divergences in women's strategies to undermine male hegemony on religious authority in both faiths. If numerous works have dealt with female agency and resistance to patriarchy in each tradition, comparative studies are still lacking, and this article suggests areas in family law, ritual purity, and procreation to further feminist and queer interreligious research.

Authors: Lenda Olena
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The article analyzes the objective side of the criminal offense provided for in Art. 407 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine "Unwillingly leaving a military unit or place of corps". The signs characterizing two forms of action are identified: voluntary leaving a military unit or place of corps; failure to appear on time without valid reasons for duty. It is substantiated that voluntary leaving a military unit or place of corps or failure to report to duty on time, committed under martial law or in a combat situation, cannot be considered forms of the objective side of this criminal offense. The expediency of considering "martial law" and "combat situation" as circumstances aggravating responsibility is argued. As a conclusion, the signs of the objective side of the criminal offense provided for in Art. 407 of the Criminal Code: an act that is expressed in two forms; the way, place and time of its commission.
Extreme Gradient Boosting Algorithm to Improve Machine Learning Model Performance on Multiclass Imbalanced Dataset
Authors: Pristyanto Yoga , Mukarabiman Zulfikar , Nugraha Anggit Ferdita
Published: October 2023

Unbalanced conditions in the dataset often become a real-world problem, especially in machine learning. Class imbalance in the dataset is a condition where the number of minority classes is much smaller than the majority class, or the number is insufficient. Machine learning models tend to recognize patterns in the majority class more than in the minority class. This problem is one of the most critical challenges in machine learning research, so several methods have been developed to overcome it. However, most of these methods only focus on binary datasets, so few methods still focus on multiclass datasets. Handling unbalanced multiclass is more complex than handling unbalanced binary because it involves more classes than binary class datasets. With these problems, we need an algorithm with features that can support adjustments to the difficulties that arise in multiclass unbalanced datasets. One of the algorithms that have features for adjustment is the ensemble algorithm, namely Xtreme Gradient Boosting. Based on the research, our proposed method with Xtreme Gradient Boosting showed better results than the other classification and ensemble algorithms on eight datasets with five evaluation metrics indicators such as balanced accuracy, the geometric-mean, multiclass area under the curve, true positive rate, and true negative rate. In future research, we suggest combining methods at the data level and Xtreme Gradient Boosting. With the performance increase in Xtreme Gradient Boosting, it can be a solution and reference in the case of handling multiclass imbalanced problems. Besides, we also recommended testing with datasets in the form of categorical and continuous data.

Mobile cloud storage provides benefits for educational institutions. Several researchers have researched cloud computing adoption, but only a few studies related to how users experience using Personal Cloud Storage Services. This research aims to investigate the adoption of the mobile cloud storage factors following the theory, as well as research that has been previously proven related to user interest in using mobile cloud storage among higher education students. This quantitative research uses data analysis techniques using GSCA to prove the theory and achieve the research goals. The research methodology consists of five main stages, namely the stage of model development and research design, the stage of preparing the instrument and its measurement, the stage of testing the instrument, the stage of survey and results, as well as the stages of analysis and discussion as well as conclusions. Five variables are investigated in this research: knowledge sharing, perceived usefulness, attitude toward using a system, trust, and intention to use. The results of hypothesis testing were conducted using GSCA; three proposed hypotheses were accepted, and one was rejected. The variables the research model can explain are 68%, and the remaining 32% are other variables not used in this study. The characteristics of respondents can provide several ways to increase the adoption of mobile cloud computing by linking research results from inferential analysis and descriptive analysis. Future research can focus on extracting these variables through user interviews regarding students' intentions to use mobile cloud computing.

Hyperspectral image technology in land classification is a distinct advantage compared to ordinary RGB and multispectral images. This technology has a wide spectrum of electromagnetic waves, which can be more detailed than other types of imagery. Therefore, with its hyperspectral advantages, the characteristics of an object should have a high probability of being recognized and distinguished. However, because of the large data, it becomes a challenge to lighten the computational burden. Hyperspectral has a huge phenomenon that makes computations heavy compared to other types of images because this image is 3D. The problem faced in hyperspectral image classification is the high computational load, especially if the spatial resolution of the image also has mixed pixel problems. This research uses EO-1 satellite imagery with a spatial resolution of 30 meters and a mixed pixel problem. This study uses a classification method to lighten the computational burden and simultaneously increase the value of classification accuracy. The method used is satellite image pre-processing, including geometric correction and image enhancement using FLAASH while the corrections are geometric correction and atmospheric correction. Then to lighten the computational burden, the steps carried out are using the Slab and PCA method. After obtaining the characteristics, they are entered into a guided learning model using a support vector machine (SVM) for the five-class or multiclass classification. Moreover, the imbalance learning method is proven to produce increased accuracy. The best results were achieved by the ADASYN method with an accuracy of 96.58%, while the computational time became faster with the feature extraction method.

Virtual Reality (VR) has become an option to be used as a learning medium in engineering. A study of the effectiveness of VR is needed to determine which fields and types of learning are suitable to employ it. This work aims to reveal the effectiveness of virtual reality media on students' cognitive and practice skills. The role of the media as a tool to make learning more efficient and effective. VR media brings learning in the virtual world that seems to be done in real terms. The research method used was a quasi-experiment with a posttest-only control group design research approach. The research subject consisted of two homogeneous classes. Learning outcomes are evaluated by testing students' cognitive and practice skills. The novelty of this research is the creation of learning media that are identical to the welding process simulator. Visual practice places and equipment in virtual form through VR are made to resemble practice places and equipment used in real situations. This similarity aims to provide concrete information about the welding process. The study revealed that the use of VR media significantly affected their knowledge. However, it did not significantly affect their practice skills. VR has not been able to provide an experience closer to real-life conditions during welding, such as heat, sparks, and sounds that appear when the electrode touches the workpiece. The distance between the electrode and the workpiece significantly affects the welding result in the welding process.

Small animal physiology studies are often complicated, but the level of complexity is greatly increased when performinglive-animal X-ray imaging studies at synchrotron radiation facilities. This is because these facilities are typically not designedspecifically for biomedical research, and the animals and image detectors are located away from the researchers in a radiationenclosure. In respiratory X-ray imaging studies one challenge is the detection of respiration in free-breathing anaesthetisedrodents, to enable images to be acquired at specific phases of the breath and for detecting changes in respiratory rate. Wehave previously used a Philtec RC60 sensor interfaced to a PowerLab data acquisition system and custom-designed timinghub to perform this task. Here we evaluated the Panasonic HL-G108 for respiratory sensing. The performance of the twosensors for accurate and reliable breath detection was directly compared using a single anesthetized rat. We also assessedhow an infrared heat lamp used to maintain body temperature affected sensor performance. Based on positive results fromthese comparisons, the HL-G108 sensor was then used for respiratory motion detection in tracheal X-ray imaging studies of21 rats at the SPring-8 Synchrotron, including its use for gated image acquisition. The results of that test were compared toa similar imaging study that used the RC60 for respiratory detection in 19 rats. Finally, the HL-G108 sensor was tested on 5mice to determine its effectiveness on smaller species. The results showed that the HL-G108 is much more robust and easierto configure than the RC60 sensor and produces an analog signal that is amenable to stable peak detection. Furthermore,gated image acquisition produced sequences with substantially reduced motion artefacts, enabling the additional benefit ofreduced radiation dose through the application of shuttering. Finally, the mouse experiments showed that the HL-G108 isequally capable of detecting respiration in this smaller species.

Ecotourism is often touted as an ideal model for community-based tourism, where the involvement and participation of locals forms the basis of the sector, bringing with it an amplitude of benefits to participants. The aim of this study was to examine stakeholder and community perceptions of conflict, corruption and a lack of trust as having negative impacts on the development ecotourism in Cameroon. The study employed a qualitative research approach, conducting in-depth interviews with stakeholder groups with knowledge of ecotourism in the country. Key findings reveal that barriers stemming from closed social networks, a lack of trust, and instances of conflict and corruption mar the ability of locals to effectively participate in the sector, rendering negative perceptions towards the sector. In many cases, the sector has come to be seen as one that breeds or encourages corrupt exclusionary practices, such as nepotism and the dominance of the private sector in what should be a public affair.

For developing terahertz O-type traveling wave tube amplifiers, as a rule, models are used that take into account only interaction of electron beam with electromagnetic wave in slow-wave system, without considering influence of areas occupied by electron gun and collector on these processes. However, if resonance occurs within volumes occupied by electron gun and collector, then this may lead to distortion of the slow-wave system bandwidth, thereby degrading the device performance. Reflectors using can significantly improve this situation, as thanks to reflectors, electromagnetic waves don't pass inside these areas, and absorbing layer inside them suppresses the resonance possibility. As a result, the device becomes more stable and efficient as an electromagnetic wave amplifier. This paper presents the numerical simulation results of processes in terahertz TWT model, including the entire device volume without exceptions, based on the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method for Maxwell equations and the Particle-In-Cells (PIC) method for calculating electron beam dynamics.

Work adjustment is something that should be done by individuals when starting to enter the world of work. These adjustments may include adjustments to co-workers, rules at work, or something else. Various kinds of problems arise related to individual abilities when making work adjustments. The problems experienced by teachers with honorary status, tend to be that honorary teachers are not optimal in making work adjustments. This can be seen from the existence of honorary teachers who resigned from their jobs and the lack of harmony in relations with colleagues. The novelty in this study has not found previous articles that discuss the theory of work adjustment for honorary teachers. This research is to determine the level of work adjustment for honorary teachers in one of the high schools in Padang City. The research method used was a field study in the form of observation and interviews with two honorary counseling teachers. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the two counseling teachers who have honorary status at one of SMA X Padang City are in the pretty good category.
