Authors: Кочарина А.Р. , Чирков Д.В.
Published: November 2023

Противопотоковая схема конечных объемов с MUSCL-реконструкцией на грань ячейки третьего порядка распространена на случай неравномерной структурированной сетки. На примере одномерного нелинейного уравнения переноса исследован порядок аппроксимации для исходной реконструкции с постоянными коэффициентами и модифицированной MUSCL-схемы с коэффициентами, зависящими от шагов сетки. Показано, что порядок аппроксимации зависит от вида неравномерной сетки. Рассмотрены случаи сетки с постоянным законом сгущения и произвольной неравномерной сетки. Аналитически и численно показано, что неравномерная MUSCL-схема с коэффициентами, зависящими от шагов сетки, имеет третий порядок аппроксимации на неравномерной сетке с постоянным законом сгущения и второй порядок на произвольной сетке. Также показано, что MUSCL-схема с постоянными коэффициентами вообще не аппроксимирует исходное уравнение на произвольной неравномерной сетке. Неравномерная MUSCL-реконструкция внедрена в численный алгоритм расчета течений несжимаемой жидкости.На двумерной задаче обтекания кругового цилиндра и трехмерной задаче о течении жидкости в проточном тракте гидротурбины показана более высокая точность предложенной схемы.

An upwind finite volume scheme with third-order MUSCL-reconstruction at the cell interface is extended to non-uniform structured grids. The order of approximation of the original MUSCL-scheme with reconstruction using constant coefficients and the modified MUSCL-scheme with coefficients dependent on the grid steps is investigated for 1D nonlinear transport equation. It is shown that the order of approximation depends on the type of non-uniform grid. The cases of a grid with a constant clustering law and an arbitrary non-uniform grid are considered. It is shown analytically and numerically, that the non-uniform MUSCL-scheme with coefficients depending on the grid spacing has the third order of approximation on a non-uniform grid with a constant clustering law and the second order on an arbitrary grid. It is also shown that the MUSCL-scheme with constant coefficients does not approximate the original equation at all on an arbitrary non-uniform grid. Non-uniform MUSCL-reconstruction is introduced into the numerical algorithm for calculating incompressible fluid flows. Higher accuracy of the proposed scheme is demonstrated for a 2D problem of the flow around a circular cylinder and for a 3D fluid flow in a hydraulic turbine.
The nature of carotenoid S* state and its role in the nonphotochemical quenching of plants
Authors: Accomasso Davide , Londi Giacomo , Cupellini Lorenzo , Mennucci Benedetta
Published: November 2023

Light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) of plants serve as antennas to collect light and transfer the absorbed energy to reaction centers, but also regulate energy transport by dissipating the excitation energy of chlorophylls. This process, known as nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ), seems to be activated by conformational changes within the LHCs, but the identity of the quenching species remains elusive. Recent spectroscopic measurements suggest the so-called S* dark state of the bound carotenoids as the quencher of chlorophyll excitation. Here, we employ excited state nonadiabatic dynamics simulations to investigate lutein embedded in different conformations of a minor LHC of plants, CP29. We reveal that different conformations of the complex differentially stabilize the minor s-trans conformer of lutein with respect to the dominant s-cis one. Our findings also demonstrate that it is the s-trans conformer that presents the spectroscopic signatures of the S* state and rationalize how it is able to accept energy from the closest chlorophyll, providing thus a relationship between LHC conformation and quenching.
Synthesis and fabrication of ultrafiltration membranes from homo and blend polymers of novel combination of cyclic amides/ imides to norbornene/ oxonorbornene; shift from classic oligomers to high performing polymer materials.
Authors: Tul Munna Sadia
Published: November 2023

Controlled release of active chlorine into the water system through membrane bound disinfectant, prevention of biofilm formation at the membrane surface and killing of antibiotic resistant bacteria were the study objectives that were accomplished in presented work. Cyclic amines/amides/imides are effective precursor of N-halogenated amines/amides/imides. Such N-halogenated compounds are found to be effective against antibiotic resistant bacteria such as, E. coli and S. aureus. Henceforth cyanuric acid and 5,5-dimethyl hydantoin were selected as representative precursor of such amide/imides that could be halogenated and provide antimicrobial performance. The polymer PES was introduced with side chain of primary amine. Further this primary amine was converted to secondary amine with novel modification containing cyanuric chloride. It was further modified to cyanuric acid as a desired precursor of N-halamide/imide. The PES-modified -cyanuric acid (PESmCA) was characterized using IR, NMR, XRD and SEM. While two novel monomers containing hydantoin as a branch extending from the ethyl group chain; belonging to norbornene dicarboximide and oxonorbornene dicarboximide, were successfully synthesize and characterized using IR, NMR and HRMS techniques. Further these monomers were polymerized via ring opening metathesis polymerization reaction into novel polymers of P(NDH) and P(ONDH). The polymer’s olefinic bonds were saturated to s-P(NDH) and s-P(ONDH). The unsaturated and saturated polymers were characterized through IR, NMR, and SLS techniques. The saturated polymers and the modified PES were fabricated into membranes and characterized via SEM and contact angle measurement. The membrane performance tests were conducted using pure water permeance and BSA protein rejection tests. The membranes were chlorinated and rinsed to remove adsorbed active chlorine. The rinsed membranes were characterized with IR providing respective N-Cl peak in range of 721-719 cm-1. The unwanted chlorine release into the water assembly was not observed provided that the respective polymers had covalently stable cyclic N-Cl moieties. Membranes were challenged against 106CFU/ml of bacteria (E.coli and S.aureus) in static agar test and dead end filtration tests. The membranes provided 100% inhibition of bacteria E. coli and S. aureus upon surface contact in agar plate test. The respective membranes were also suitable for dead end filtration pressure assisted bacterial flow test. The test provided 99-100 % kill of both bacteria. These N-halamide/imide novel polymer and modified polymer systems were efficiently chlorinated through repeated cycles. Keywords: Modified PES, norbornene polymers, oxonorbornene polymers, ROMP, controlled release of active chlorine, biofilm prevention, inhibition of antibiotic resistant bacteria, phase inversion, UF membranes.

A set of 22 composites was prepared by pyrolysis of Cu2+ complexes with phenanthroline and 1,2-diaminobenzene, deposited on SiO2 (Aerosil). All composites contained Cu and carboneous components, while some of them additionally contained Cu2O or CuCl. According to the data of powder X-ray diffraction, the size of Cu nanoparticles was 20-37 nm. The presence of Cu nanoparticles was confirmed by TEM, while some aggregates were found by SEM. The composites were tested as the heterogeneous catalysts in the process of cycloaddition of propargylamine with 4-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate leading to ethyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline-6-carboxylate. It was found that the product yield did not correlate with Cu content in the reaction mixture or other single parameters, but reached maximal values at certain values of parameters, proportional to the surface of Cu and surface of C, exposed to the reagents. It was found that the leaching of Cu takes place upon repeated use of the composites.

The aim of the study is to Spirulina protective effects against acute Fenitrothion-induced toxicity in rats. The objective of a present investigation has been to determine if Spirulina could protect male Wistar albino rats from the toxic effects of Fenitrothion by acting as an antioxidant and hepato-nephroprotector. The toxic effects of DLM are significantly influenced by oxidative stress. In numerous earlier interventions, antioxidants are useful in reducing DLM-induced toxicity. Spirulina is a strong antioxidant that has the potential to lessen the effects of numerous common chemotherapeutic drugs and insecticides. It is evident from the current study that DLM exposure caused variable changes in serum biochemical indicators, levels of lipid peroxidation, and the inhibition of antioxidant enzyme activity. In terms of biochemical changes in blood and tissues, antioxidant enzyme activity, and oxidative stress, AP pre-exposure offered almost full protection.

Authors: Rybalko Hlib
Published: November 2023

The article examines the issue of seizure of funds in the bank accounts of a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur as one of the measures to ensure criminal proceedings. The issue of seizing property in order to ensure the preservation of physical evidence is studied as a basis for seizing property in criminal proceedings. The norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, which fix the concepts of physical evidence, seizure of property in the context of preservation of physical evidence, are analyzed.

The author has researched the meaning of the concept of "money in cash and non-cash form" according to the current legislation. The legal nature of non-cash funds in terms of the possibility of recognizing them as material evidence has been studied.

On the example of court decisions, attention is drawn to the ambiguous practice of recognizing non-cash funds as physical evidence.
THE LAW OF UKRAINE "ON THE FUNDAMENTALS OF NATIONAL RESISTANCE" IN THE SYSTEM OF DEFENSE LEGISLATION OF UKRAINE
Authors: Melnyk Serhii , Grygorenko Yevhen
Published: November 2023

The article analyzes the Law of Ukraine "On the Basics of National Resistance" from the point of view of further development of defense and security legislation. This Law is considered as a complex legal act that regulates the organization and functioning of territorial defense, the resistance movement and the preparation of citizens for such activities.
It is indicated that by the subject of legal regulation, this normative legal act is included in the system of defense legislation and interacts with normative legal acts that make up the security legislation. This is confirmed by the fact that, on the one hand, its provisions are aimed at providing Ukraine's defense activities with a more meaningful and comprehensive character, including by promoting defense. On the other hand, the provisions of this Law contribute to the creation of conditions for ensuring the national security of Ukraine both through strengthening defense and improving the provision of military security, and through other components of national security, in particular, through public, informational, legal and some other types of national security.
Given the fact that both defense and security legislation always establish and define legal and organizational foundations (fundamentals) in the relevant spheres of social relations related to the provision of national security and defense of Ukraine, the word "fundamentals" is used in the title of this Law redundant Based on this, it is indicated that the most optimal name of this Law should be "On National Resistance".
It is noted that this Law, by its subject of legal regulation, concerns the organization of national resistance, and therefore the activities of broad sections of the population. In this regard, it is indicated that the preamble of the Law should be more detailed and should disclose participation in national resistance as a form of fulfilling the constitutional obligation to protect the Motherland (Part 1 of Article 65 of the Constitution of Ukraine) and the cause of all Ukrainian people in protecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine (Part 1 of Article 17 of the Basic Law of Ukraine).
At the same time, the reference to Article 65 of the Constitution of Ukraine, which establishes that the protection of the Motherland, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine is the duty of Ukrainian citizens, is conditioned by the fact that national resistance is one of the forms of protection of the Motherland as the most important constitutional duty of Ukrainian citizens
TYPES AND FUNCTIONS OF SOUND WRITING IN LYRICAL POEMS BY RAINER MARIA RILKE
Authors: BEZUGLA Liliia , TKACHIVSKA Mariya
Published: November 2023

The article deals with the types and functions of sound in the lyrical poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. The features of his poetry, dedication to the art of sounding words are emphasized. It
is noted that the types of sound writing and its functions are important for linguistics in Rilke's poetry. The definition of sound writing as a poetic means is given, the difference between the concepts of Lautmalerei and Klangmalerei is clarified. The attention is focused on the fact that Rilke's poetry is characterized by the purity of rhyme, except for unevenly stressed rhymes, which combine a strong ending (with the main emphasis on the last syllable) with a weak one (when the last syllable forms a suffix or another part of the phrase containing only a secondary emphasis). Various criteria by which types of sound writing can be distinguished are outlined. It is noted that according to the criterion of a repeating element in Rilke's poetry, the most important types of sound are presented: assonance, alliteration, internal rhyme and paronomasia. The aesthetic and iconic function of a poetic work is considered. The analysis of the iconic function highlights its three subtypes: suggestive, onomatopoeic and sound semantic. The term "function" is used in the sense of "task". Each of the functions is investigated in the article and illustrated with examples of Rilke's poems. It is found out that the figures of sound in Rilke's poems are characterized by placement in the initial syllable, but can have other positions in the word; vowel length is not taken into account; vowel equivalence is atypical for alliteration; metathesis and uneven consonance are not excluded; both convergence and divergence of phonetic figures occur within the poem, stanza and in the whole text; phonetic figures are tied to syntactic structures. It is emphasized that the creative and effective sound description in the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke is a significant contribution to the euphony of the text and the expression of its content. As a result, it is proved that Rilke is rightly called the king of sound in poetry
PECULIARITIES OF TRANSLATION OF EXOTICISMS OF THE NOVEL THE PROSPECTOR BY JEAN-MARIE GUSTAVE LE CLÉZIO INTO UKRAINIAN
Authors: BOHACHENKO Hanna
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the peculiarities of translation of exoticisms as a characteristic feature of the French writer Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio into Ukrainian. The features of the writer's style, the problem of translation of his novels are outlined. The historical context of the novel is considered as a basis for high-quality translation. The basis for the analysis is the translation of one of Le Clézio's novels "The Prospector" by Halyna Chernienko. The two major translation strategies, domestication and foreignization, are also considered in the article. The expediency of the strategy chosen by the translator is substantiated. The article offers an analysis of translation challenges faced by the translator. These ones are divided into four groups: phonetic, lexical, grammatical and stylistic challenges. In particular, it concerns proper names, lexical and grammatical features of the French language, word play and foreign inclusions (English, Creole, Latin ones). The choice of technique or method of translation is explained and analyzed on separate examples. For an in depth analysis of translation of exoticisms in the novel, the method of continuous sampling is applied. In particular, eighty units are extracted, which are divided into the following groups: geographical exoticisms (geographical objects and endemics) and ethnographic exoticisms (household and labor objects, ethnic objects and people
related to labour). Geographical exoticisms account for approximately 70 percent of the exoticisms. For the translation of endemics, regular and occasional equivalence, transcoding (transliteration and transcription), calque, contextual substitution, hyponymic, hyperonymic translation and reformulation are used. The author of the article offers his own translation options for some endemics. The methods of transcoding and/or calque are used to translate toponyms. Ethnographic exoticisms account for approximately 30 percent of exoticisms. They are divided into household and labor items (units translated using the methods of transcoding, calque, contextual substitution and descriptive method), ethnic objects and people related to labor (units translated using transcoding and lexical approximation method).
MEXICAN EXPERIENCES OF B. TRAVEN: THE POSSIBILITY OF IMAGOLOGICAL READING
Authors: MANDRYKO Olga
Published: November 2023

The article presents the historical-literary analysis of The Cotton-Pickers (Die Baumwollpflücker), the first novel by the German writer B. Traven, who spent most of his intellectual life living and writing (in German) in Mexico, where he died, and focused his main works on the life of the native people of the state of Chiapas. The Cotton-Pickers did not emphasize the issue of the native population, whose representatives only appear episodically in the text, and described the experience of the author-narrator who recently arrived in Mexico in his search for work. Until today, this novel has been analyzed mainly as an autobiographical text and from a sociological perspective, highlighting the author's leftist attitude. However, it has not been taken into account how B. Traven is creating, throughout the narrative, a cultural image of the country that enchanted him throughout his life. The social and cultural aspects of the Mexican Revolution, those that attracted the author who, at the same time, does not stop being critical about the current state of things, are highlighted too. In this way, an imagological perspective is proposed in the reception of the work. Likewise, despite the fact that B. Traven's researchers always underlined his leftist orientation (anarchist in nature) in the reception of this revolution, few were those who valued the emphasis he placed on the role of the native population in the revolutionary
process. Meanwhile, B. Traven described the role and destiny of the Indians in the revolution earlier than Mexican-born writers did it. It was he who wrote the first novels in Mexico that presented the Indians as active participants in the revolutionary processes. And it was also he who placed special emphasis on the autochthonous component as the spiritual core of the Mexican nation and on its role in the hopeful future of the country.
TRANSFRONTALITY OF LITERARY IMAGES: EXTRAPOLATION OF THE ITALIAN PUPPET HERO PULCINELLA
Authors: TYMOFIEIEVA Yulia
Published: November 2023

The article concerns one of the most important characters of national Italian puppet theatre, the marionette Pulcinella, and its influence on the images of folk heroes of puppet and drama theaters, street performances and literary works in European countries. National invariants of this character in the theaters and literatures of Western and Central Europe from the time of the appearance of this character to the beginning of the twentieth century are highlighted. Due to the expansion of economic and political ties, from the beginning of the 17th century, Pulcinella, together with itinerant artists and puppeteers, begins its transition to most European national folk theaters and literature. Depending on the geography of the country, its national character traits and national stereotypes, Pulcinella changes his image, his name, his behavior, and language. However, what is the most important, each national puppet retains both external and internal features of their original predecessor, Pulcinella. Examples provided in the article prove that most of the national invariants of Pulcinella
possess his main character trait, that is, a fight against injustice and fierce criticism of authorities. Such characters as the English Punch, the Dutch Pickelgering, the French
Polychenelle and Guignol, the German and Austrian Hanswurth, the Spanish and Portuguese Don Cristobal, the Czech Kaszparek and the German Kasperle invariably pursue two main goals: to protect the wronged and to defeat the evil In each of the countries, the characters created on the prototype of Pulcinella, were warmly accepted by the public and became very popular, especially with common people. At the same time, they differed from the original with their national coloring; they became the mouthpiece of national character traits, national ethnic stereotypes. The article seconds the opinion of many literary scholars that the origins the marionette character of Pulcinella can be traced to the Italian folk theater hero of Maccus, mainly because Pulcinella adopts the features of that ancient character's appearance, such as an irregularly shaped head, a large hump on his back, a hooked nose, a large belly and lively shrewd eyes. With small changes and variations, these features of appearance are received not only by Pulcinella, but also by the numerous national invariants of this character in Europe. However, all these national invariants also preserve the typical traits of Pulcinella's character, such as cockiness, cunning, thirst for justice and victory in an argument. In the 19th century, the Pulcinella marionette ‘returns’ to Italy and transforms into the wooden puppet Pinocchio. Carlo Collodi’s novel becomes so popular that it is translated in many countries of the world, and the new characters modelled on Pinocchio, acquire national features, such as Zeppel Kern by the German writer Otto Julius Birbaum. This begins a new round of Pulcinella's influence on the world culture.
JEWISH ASSOL’S WEDDING PLAN, OR ESHET HAIAL BREAKS THE WALLS: AN EXCELLENT WOMAN IN RAMA BURSHTEIN’S LAAVOR AT HA-KIR
Authors: ZISELMAN Boris , USTYUZHYN Igor
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to American Israeli haredi director Rama Burshtein’s second film Laavor et ha-Kir (הקיר את לעבור,' to break through the wall', Ivrit; in the US: The Wedding
Plan, 2016). The first part of the article (dealing with the conscious part of the author’s mind) is an attempt to reveal and explain the most important biblical and rabbinic sources that the film is based upon. Burshtein's protagonist, Michal, is an Orthodox Jewish yerushalmi spinster in her thirties that desperately wants to get married. She is an active, brave and resourceful lady of faith that represents the best Jewish values. Michal is obviously the chossid חיל אשת) woman of valour, Prov. 31:10), but, for some strange reason, God does
not send her a husband. The excellent wife goes far to get bread (Prov. 31:14), and, likewise, Michal goes as far as her religion allows her (a matchmaker, a healer, Ukraine) to get a great
husband, even if it requires a miracle. “A great miracle was here” in the 2d century B.C.E. for the Macabean rebels and Michal expects a (relatively) small one to happen for her at the same place at the same time 22 centuries later. What she needs to do is to make sure that she has done her part of the job and that she is 100 per cent ready. The second part of the article follows G. K. Chesterton’s advice to the critics not to spend much time dealing with the conscious part of the author’s mind (”which the author himself can express”) but to deal with the subconscious part of the author’s mind and say about the author “the very things that would have made him jump out of his boots.” So, as Ashkenazim came out not only from Egypt, but also from Poland / Ukraine (S. Freud, P. Wexler, М. Dorfman), the critics suggest that in 2016 the Burshteins (cf. burshtyn and bursztyn, amber, in Ukrainian and Polish) staged the modern Jewish version of Scarlet Sails, the Christian feieria composed by the ethnic Pole Aleksandr Grinevski а hundred years earlier. Michal is today’s dati Israeli Assol’. Even if Rama Burshtein is not familiar with A. S. Grin, the argument still stands: the Spirit blows where she wants to make sure that between the true artists of any time there is an unconscious community (T. S. Eliot).
On Application of Canonical Decomposition for the Visualization of Results of Multiparameter Computations
Authors: Alekseev A.K. , Bondarev A.E. , Pyatakova Yu.S.
Published: November 2023

The approximation of the tensor appearing at a discretization of the multidimensional function is considered from the viewpoint of storing and treating of the results of parametric computations obtained in computational aerogasdynamics. The new algorithm for the computation of the canonical decomposition using gradient descent and approximately decomposable goal functional is described.

This algorithm applies the random set of points on the hyperplane orthogonal to the computed core of the canonical decomposition (“umbrella”) that ensures its flexible application for an approximation of the tensors with a priori unknown rank and may be naturally transferred on such tensor decomposition as the tensor train. The results of the numerical tests are presented for the model six-dimensional functions and for an ensemble of the numerical solutions for the two-dimensional Euler equations. These equations describe the flow of the compressible gas with two crossing shock waves. The Mach number and angles of the flow deflection serve as the flow parameters. The results are provided for the dimensionality 3 (simple numerical solution) and 4 (the ensemble of the numerical solutions in dependence on the Mach number).

Published: November 2023

The need for effective postprocessor analysis of the results of extensive calculations on supercomputers remains extremely high when using new complex computing systems in modeling super- and hypersonic gas flows, predictive modeling of heat and mass transfer processes in jet engines and new energy devices, in solving multiscale problems for astrophysical simulation. Requirements for improving the quality and versatility of new software and visualization codes are increasing with the transition to exascale computing, which requires the improvement of new service systems, in particular systems for visualizing and analyzing the results of multi-scale calculations with dramatically increased input and output data. This paper considers the experience of using an authorized visualization system in the practice of solving some tasks with vortex flow structures and unpredictable instability.

The article is devoted to the study of digital competence of youth, the analysis of data collected during a representative all-Russian sociological survey of youth conducted by a team of authors in 2023. The purpose of this study is a deeper understanding of the current level of digital literacy of Russian youth and the identification of factors affecting its development. Summarizing the results obtained allows us to draw conclusions about how young people adapt to the digital world, what challenges and opportunities it provides, and what strategies can be developed to strengthen and improve their digital competence.
Demobilization of Russian youth and barriers to digital civil activism
Authors: Abramova S. B.
Published: November 2023

The article examines sociological discourse and approaches to defining the concept of demobilization. The emphasis is on the personal level of demobilizing barriers to participation of Russian youth in digital activism. An all-Russian survey of experts in the field of digital participation of youth was conducted (32 experts from 8 federal districts). The author proposes a typology of barriers that cause demobilization at the stages of involvement (information, reputational, resource barriers, as well as barriers of socialization, irresponsibility, mistrust, goal setting) and retention (barriers of perspective, communication, formalization, routinization and network) of youth in civic activism. The influence exerted by the digital environment on enhancing demobilization effects is shown. The conclusion is drawn about the high frequency of confrontations between participants and organizers of digital activism with the identified barriers, but at the same time the positive attitude of experts about the possibilities of overcoming them.
Collective Farming
Authors:   Agricultural Demonstrator Gooty, K VARADACHARI
Published: November 2023

In the village of Peddaradugur in the Gooty Taluk (Anantapur District) there is an interesting system of collective farming, ideal in its organization and efficient in management. There are 36 acres of wetland irrigated by a spring channel, composed of 44 shares, each share being a unit of one head of working animal (Tel. Pothu bagamu). There are now 44 share- holders, some owning single shares, some others a little more or less than a share. One of the shareholders, Bayyanna by name, is the chief man of the organization, by virtue of heredity. For the past several generations Bayyanna's family have been the leaders of this organization. In the village Revenue Registers the patta is shown as a common one in the name of "Bayyanna and others". No one member of this organization has any right to any particular portion of this block of 36 acres and cannot say that this portion or that portion of this block is his, or that he would cultivate that area only. Nor has he any right to sell his share of the land; he can sell only his right to his share of the produce, that is to say, on selling his right he ceases to be a shareholder and the purchaser will step into the scheme. No registration is done, the seller passes on his paper to the purchaser. These 44 persons work together, divide the expenses and divide the net produce among them according to their shares whether the entire block or only a part of it is cultivated.
A Note on the Disposal of Inferior Quality Virginia Tobacco
Authors:   Thumadu, Kandukur Taluk, Nellore, SANKARAYYA KALIDASU
Published: November 2023

While curing Virginia tobacco in any farm some inferior grades of leaves are obtained. Their disposal has become problematic this year much more than ever as shipments of this material to Japan, China, etc., have ceased. I wish to suggest an alternative use for this low quality leaf. These are Guntur grades VII and VIII and consist of dead, perished and scorched leaf and immature green leaf picked which are locally known in Telugu as "Gulla", "Madu" and "Moddu patcha". Even when these grades were saleable the value of such grades was from Re. 1 to Rs. 10 per candy of 500 lb. That is to say the average price of a candy was Rs. 5. It has to be considered whether such an offer is justifiable. If any leaf is sold, it should fetch at least the cost of its preparation, i. e, curing, grading and packing. I wish to suggest a means that is more profitable indirectly than the sale of leaf for cash at Rs. 5 per candy of 500 lb. Manuring the lands plays a prominent part in agriculture and the main plant foods are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. International commerce was put to a dead stop owing to the "World War" and no fertilizer is imported into India. Secondly, in the opinion of scientists organic manures are better than inorganic fertilizers. Tobacco leaf with its stem is a good organic manure.

Published: November 2023

There is now an urgent necessity for finding out suitable substitutes for the foreign insecticides which are difficult to procure under the prevailing war conditions. Investigations were therefore started at the Agricultural Research Institute, Coimbatore, to determine whether any of the locally available plant poisons could effectively serve as insect killers. A few well-known poisonous plants like Thevetia neriifolia, Juss. (roots, stem bark; leaves and kernels), Nerium odorum Soland. (root, stem bark and leaves) Strychnos Nux-vomica L. (seeds) and Abrus precatorius L. (seeds) were tested. Of these only the kernels of Thevetia neriifolia Juss, were found to possess insecticidal values of a high order.
Cultivation of Tapioca in the Vizagapatam District.
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, A SANKARAM
Published: November 2023

The cultivation of tapioca is of importance at the pre- sent juncture, when the problem of food production is acute. Next to rice it is one of the staple food crops of the Travancore State and has largely contributed to the food supply there, specially among the poor. In the Presidency of Madras, its cultivation is chiefly concentrated on the West Coast and in the district of Vizagapatam, where it forms a cheap food of the poor class. It is also cultivated in parts of Chingleput, South Arcot, North Arcot and Tanjore districts. It possesses certain commendable features. "The plant is one of the most productive in the world and it has been claimed that an acre of cessava will yield more nutritive matter than six times the same area under wheat". Economically it is a paying crop and added to it the attention required for its cultivation is almost negligible. The green tops of certain varieties serve as fodder for the cattle. Tapioca (Manihot utilissima) belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae and is a native of tropical America. It is a shrubby perennial growing to a height of 6 ft. to 8 it. but an annual under cultivation. The crop is propa- gated by stem-cuttings which produce adventitious roots; these develop into tubers, enriched with starch, with the advance of age.
Better Methods of Virginia Tobacco Cultivation in Guntur District.
Authors:   Agricultural Demonstrator Guntur, M NARASIMHAM
Published: November 2023

Guntur district has nearly 50 per cent of the total area under tobacco in the Madras Presidency. During the past decade, as a result of persistent efforts of the India Leaf Tobacco Development Company, ryots have taken to the cultivation of Virginia tobacco and its curing in barns. The present area extends over 1,00,000 acres, fetching a return of about one and a half to two crores of rupees to the District. The country tobacco (Natu) extends over 50,000 acres and it may fetch another half a crore of rupees every year. Virginia tobacco produced in the Guntur, Kistna and Godavari districts forms the bulk of cigarette tobacco produced in and exported from India. With proper methods of cultivation, curing and marketing, it is possible in course of time to find a steady market in foreign countries especially the United kingdom for a fairly large quantity of high class leaf. Tobacco is at present the main money crop in the Guntur district. Unless proper steps are taken to increase the yield and improve the quality of leaf and rectify some defects in other respects, the trade is likely to suffer in a very short time.
The Man and the Plant.
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, H MARTIN LEAKE

Cotton is an agricutural product, the product of a plant. Its successful. cultivation, apart from the financial aspect, must conform, therefore, to two requirements. It must provide both the essential conditions which the nature of the plant as a living organism demands, and the amenities which man, the producer, considers to be his due in return for his labour. But there is no question as to which of the two is the more fundamental. The plant is a sentient, but unreasoning. organism and can only adapt itself to a certain limited ringe of conditions. The plants in a greenhouse will die if left unwatered for a few days, and the fact that the absence which led to the neglect was unavoidable makes no difference to the result. With man the vital limits are wider, but he is reasoning and not only can, but does, voice his protests in strikes and rioting long before those limits are renched. This is a simple proposition, but one which is frequently over-looked. The human requirements, for the above reasons, assume primary importance, and the protest of the plant, because silent, is ignored.
