Mecanismos de subjetivación y sociedades digitales autocontroladas.
Authors:   Doctorado en Humanidades / Universidad de Guadalajara, Arredondo Rubio Celina
Published: January 2023

Este artículo da continuidad al artículo anterior titulado: La red social Facebook como dispositivo de control. Una mirada desde la filosofía de Foucault (Arredondo, 2020). Describe el cómo del desarrollo, y a través de qué se da el funcionamiento del Panóptico, y el dispositivo de control. De esta manera se expone el progreso de los mecanismos de subjetivación que interactúan y juegan un papel importante dentro de los actuales sistemas digitales, con el propósito de crear sociedades autocontroladas. Para ello se recurre a los conceptos e ideas del filósofo Surcoreano Byung Chul Han, se compara la evolución de la sociedad disciplinada, la evolución del panóptico de Foucault al panóptico digital, y el cambio del control impuesto por un control aceptado voluntariamente. Se describe la importancia del Big Data como sistema de medición de información y comercialización. Para concluir se hace mención del alcance de las recientes tecnologías de comunicación e información con la cuarta fase de internet Internet de Todo, su desarrollo con la tecnología electrónica y total inmersión de ella con el individuo en la cotidianeidad.
Algunas estrategias argumentativas en La Ciudad de las Damas de Cristina de Pizán.
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México, Díaz Herrera Patricia
Published: January 2023

La visión tradicional de la Edad Media en general, y el canon de la filosofía medieval en particular, pueden cuestionarse a partir de un estudio de obras de autoras medievales. En el artículo presento aspectos del contexto intelectual en el cual se inscribe Cristina de Pizán, identifico algunas estrategias argumentativas en su obra La Ciudad de las Damas (1405) y propongo una evaluación preliminar desde varios criterios. Su forma de expresarse es argumentativa, no sólo emplea tropos retóricos, sino que construye razonamientos siguiendo patrones lógicos bien conocidos en el medioevo. Aborda temas como: la idea de la razón como herramienta; la oposición entre el principio de autoridad y la experiencia directa; la analogía entre una ciudadela amurallada y una argumentación sistemática en defensa de las mujeres. Ese texto se ha abordado desde diversos marcos teóricos, v.g. antecedentes del feminismo, historia de la educación. Se ha analizado esta obra desde un enfoque literario; además existen estudios de género, filosofía moral y política sobre Pizán. Sin embargo, hasta donde sé, no se ha abordado desde un enfoque argumentativo. La obra de Pizán no se centra en cuestiones típicas del canon filosófico medieval, pero no está exenta de temas filosóficos y teológicos.

Angustia ante la vejez en “Señales captadas en el corazón de una fiesta”, de Rodrigo Fresán.
Authors:   Unversidad Nacional de Seúl, Nam Seungho
Published: January 2023

Este artículo analiza desde una perspectiva individualista la angustia que siente el narrador-personaje homosexual de “Señales captadas en el corazón de una fiesta”, cuento de Rodrigo Fresán de la antología McOndo. El sufrimiento del protagonista se debe principalmente al envejecimiento que ve cercano, un proceso fisiológico universalmente compartido por todos los humanos, sin importar su orientación sexual. El presente análisis se distingue de los anteriores estudios que señalaban la homosexualidad como factor principal del sufrimiento de los personajes en el marco de la discriminación social. El protagonista de este cuento no está configurado como un representante que simbolizaría el padecimiento social del colectivo, sino como un individuo cualquiera con sus propios rasgos personales.
EFFECT OF INDIVIDUALISM, POWER DISTANCE, MASCULINITY, AND UNCERTAINTY AVOIDANCE ON ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITY: A PERSPECTIVE FROM THE STATES IN NORTH-WEST NIGERIA
Authors: Bugaje Idris Bashir , Abd Rahman Azmawani , Said Rusmawati , Ho Jo Ann
Published: January 2023

Culture is a very important predictor of the activities of the entrepreneur. Studies on national culture focus have been on the differences of national culture in different countries with regards to entrepreneurship. Understanding the effect of national culture (individualism, power distance, masculinity and uncertainty avoidance) on entrepreneurship in a single country remains scarce due to a lack of research. Furthermore, the findings of previous studies revealed an inconsistency in the dimensions’ effect on entrepreneurial activity with some dimension(s) having a positive or negative relationship. Thus, this paper examined the effect of national culture on entrepreneurial activity in north-west Nigeria because of the presence of differences in culture as it relates to states in the region. A survey was conducted to gather the data. The results revealed that individualism, masculinity, and power distance had a positive effect on entrepreneurial activity. This study also found a positive relationship between uncertainty avoidance and entrepreneurial activity, which is not consistent with the a priori relationship. The findings also suggest that the differences in the states according to national culture variables are not due to chance. Thus, there is a significant difference among the states in relation to the stated dimensions. The study recommends that policymakers create awareness by educating the society of the growing need and importance of entrepreneurial activity. More importantly, policymakers should develop relevant policies that can improve the entrepreneurial spirit of states with negative culture on entrepreneurship.

Published: January 2023

This study aimed to investigate factors that influence consumer purchase decision in Malaysian single-priced stores, which are also popularly known as RM2 stores. The study considered six factors that could affect purchase decision in RM2 stores, namely, corporate social responsibility (CSR), sales promotion, social media marketing, perceived value, store environment, and service quality. A quantitative research methodology was employed through a survey using questionnaires administered to 550 customers of the RM2 stores. The data gathered was then analysed through SPSS method to calculate the validity and reliability of the measurement items and to verify the impact of six independent variables on purchase decision. Based on the results, CSR, sales promotion, perceived value, and service quality had significant positive effects on purchase decision, while social media marketing and store environment proved to be insignificant. Among all the factors, perceived value had the strongest influence on purchase decision. The findings are important in assisting RM2 store retailers to understand the factors that affect consumer purchase decision which could help in improving sales. This study complements the current literature and addresses existing research gaps with regard to the linkages between factors that influence consumer purchase decision in Malaysian single-priced stores.

Science and engineering research excellence can be maximized if the selection of researchers is made

from 100% of the pool of human talent. This requires policies and approaches that encourage broad

sections of society, including women and other underrepresented groups, to participate in research.

Institutional policies, interpersonal interactions, and individuals’ attitudes are drivers of workplace

culture. Here, some new evidence-based and systematic approaches with a focus on culture are

proposed to foster women’s inclusion and success in science and engineering.
Determining the Effect of Building Geometry on Energy Use Patterns of Office Buildings in Toronto
Authors: Ferdous Tonima , Gorgolewski Mark
Published: January 2023

The project investigated the potential of building geometry to minimize energy consumption in office buildings. Five distinct geometries were modeled as mid-size office occupancies in the context of Toronto, Ontario, and examined with varied design parameters: window to wall ratio (WWR) and external static shading devices. IES VE software was used to predict the annual energy consumption of the five archetypes for 40 permutations. The outcome of this research showed that the variation of the total energy use from one shape to another was relatively small. WWR appeared to have a stronger impact on the energy pattern of a building than its shape. Overall, the energy performance of the archetypes were observed to conform to their individual building aspect ratios. The findings are thus expected to provide useful guidelines for architects on utilizing building geometry as an energy saving measure in the design of office buildings. 
Designing Buildings Using Reclaimed Steel Components
Authors: Gorgolewski Mark , Straka Vera , Edmonds J. , Sergio-Dzoutzidis C.
Published: January 2023

The consumption of non-renewable resources and the creation of wastes have been identiﬁ ed as among the key issues that our society must address in order not to prejudice the opportunities of future generations. Yet the way we design and construct our buildings leads to huge volumes of waste being generated as well as the use of large amounts of materials, the extraction of which leads to considerable environmental damage. So, how can we design buildings in a way that creates closed loop materials systems that minimize waste generation and primary resourse use? The objective of this paper is to review work carried out at Ryerson University in Canada funded by NRCan and CISC to identify ways in which construction can set up reuse loops for steel components so that waste and the demand for primary steel are reduced. In particular, the design and construction issues related to the use of salvaged steel components will be reviewed, through a series of case studies to draw out lessons and conclusions about the implications of component reuse in construction. The case studies are of projects that reuse steel components from old buildings into new buildings. They suggest that opportunities for steel reuse are signiﬁ cant but the industry needs to establish appropriate structures and cyclical systems and methods to ensure that components can be easily reclaimed from old buildings for reuse. Furthermore, certain ingrained industry design processes need to be overcome for reuse of steel (and other components) to become more acceptable.

Through ingestion and subsequent egestion, Arctic seabirds can bioaccumulate microplastics at and around their colony breeding sites. While microplastics in Arctic seabirds have been well documented, it is not yet understood to what extent these particles can act as transport vehicles for plastic-associated contaminants, including legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs), trace metals, and organic additives. We investigated the occurrence and pattern of organic and inorganic co-contaminants of microplastics in two seabird species from the Canadian Arctic — northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) and black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla). We found that fulmars had higher levels of plastic contamination and emerging organic compounds (known to be plastic additives) than kittiwakes, whereas higher concentrations of legacy POPs were found in kittiwakes than the fulmars. Furthermore, fulmars, the species with the much larger foraging range (∼200 km), had higher plastic pollution and overall contaminant burdens, indicating that birds may be acting as long-range transport vectors for plastic-associated pollution. Our results suggest a potential connection between plastic additive contamination and plastic pollution burdens in the bird stomachs, highlighting the importance of treating plastic particles and plastic-associated organic additives as co-contaminants rather than separate pollution issues.
Meta-community processes supersede leaf subsidy effects on lake aquatic communities
Authors: Charette Georges , Harvey Éric
Published: January 2023

There is a growing consensus that cross-ecosystem fluxes significantly influence the structure and stability of aquatic communities. What remains unclear, however, is the relative importance and potential interactions of those fluxes to/with other well-studied factors affecting aquatic community structure such as local environmental parameters or regional-scale influences related to connectivity or habitat size. In this study we compare those different hypotheses by investigating their individual and combined influence on the functional structure of littoral benthic invertebrates’ communities in 7 temperate Canadian lakes (total of 23 sites) located in a semi-protected area. At each site, we sampled macro-invertebrates, we measured C, N, P content of both benthic litter and terrestrial leaves, and we recorded several standard local (pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, temperature) and regional -scale (perimeter to area ratio, lake connectivity) parameters. We then used a combination of model selection and ordination approaches to disentangle the relative importance of local, regional, and cross-ecosystem factors and their interactions. When considered alone, we found that local factors related to water quality performed best at explaining variations macro-invertebrate community structure. When in combinations, models with both water quality and regional scale variables related to connectivity performed best. However, some functional groups like predator abundances were well correlated to C:N and N:P ratio in sediments (of terrestrial origin). Overall, those results suggest that if stoichiometry (i.e. nutritional quality ) of particulate terrestrial subsidies can have some effects on lake benthic communities, local and regional factors still dominate in explaining invertebrate biodiversity patterns, at least in lakes without steep human land-use gradients. Closing knowledge gaps on cross-ecosystem subsidy effects is important to improve our understanding of how communities and functioning may change under human and/or climate driven changes in watersheds.
Микроскопическое исследование структуры стоматологических шинирующих конструкций
Authors: Новак Н.В. , Старовойтова В.С.
Published: January 2023

Совокупные свойства адгезивной шинирующей конструкции определяются внутренними свойствами входящих в ее состав волокон, архитектурой волокон и взаимодействием с полимерной матрицей композиционного материала. Геометрия и архитектура армирующих волокон, включая ориентацию и расположение, а также их объемная доля определяют прочностные свойства шины.
Цель исследования. Изучить микроскопическое строение шинирующих конструкций с различными по химическому составу армирующими лентами.
Объекты и методы исследования. 10 групп по 10 образцов шинирующих конструкций с различными по химическому составу армирующими лентами, 8 из которых выполнены с использованием лент на основе неорганической матрицы, 2 – на основе органической.
Результаты исследования и их обсуждение. Микроскопическое исследование образцов шинирующих конструкций показало хорошую интеграцию полимерной матрицы композита в структуру лент у образцов с использованием лент на основе неорганической матрицы. Расслоение периферического слоя не выявлено, поры в толще шины отсутствовали либо были единичными, что может быть обусловлено силанизацией стекловолокон, инкорпорированных в термопластичный полимер и светоотверждаемую композитную матрицу.
Заключение. Шинирующие ленты на неорганической основе с параллельно расположенными стекловолокнами, импрегнированные смолой в заводских условиях, показали преимущество по сравнению с ткаными и плетеными лентами и лентами без импрегнации.

Эффективность лечения раневых дефектов слизистой оболочки твердого неба с использованием клея хирургического
Authors: Лабонарская Е.А. , Ластовка А.С.
Published: January 2023

Приобретенные дефекты слизистой оболочки твердого неба образуются в результате травмы и различных оперативных вмешательств в этой области, в связи с чем лечение раневых дефектов ротовой полости до настоящего времени представляет собой актуальную и сложную задачу. В литературе представлены данные успешного использования лекарственных средств на основе производных крови (фибриновый и белково-альдегидный хирургические клеи). Эффективность разработанного нами метода лечения раневых дефектов слизистой оболочки твердого неба с применением белково-альдегидного хирургического клея в экспериментальных исследованиях позволяет использовать данный герметик в клинике.
Цель исследования. Изучить эффективность лечения раневых дефектов слизистой оболочки твердого неба с помощью белково-альдегидного хирургического клея.
Объекты и методы исследования. Проведены обследование и хирургическое лечение 75 пациентов с образованиями различной этиологии в области твердого неба, сформированы три клинические группы пациентов с использованием различных методов лечения раневого дефекта: группа 1 – раневая поверхность покрывалась марлевой повязкой с лекарственным средством; группа 2 – проводилось закрытие раневого дефекта клеем хирургическим согласно разработанному нами методу; группа 3 – раневой дефект оставляли открытым, без применения раневых покрытий или сближающих швов.
Результаты исследования и их обсуждение. Статистически доказано: в группе с применением клея хирургического интенсивность снижения боли, динамика заживления раневой поверхности выше, отсутствуют осложнения и сокращается время пребывания пациентов в стационаре.
Заключение. Длительная и надежная изоляция раневого дефекта в области твердого неба клеем хирургическим в группе 2 способствует активной эпителизации раневого дефекта, снижает интенсивность боли при приеме пищи и во время разговора, уменьшает процент осложнений, что сокращает длительность пребывания пациента в стационаре. Высокая эффективность метода лечения раневых дефектов слизистой оболочки твердого неба с применением белково-альдегидного хирургического клея позволяет рекомендовать его использование в практике челюстно-лицевой хирургии и хирургической стоматологии.
Биохимические показатели ротовой жидкости у пациентов с травматическим переломом нижней челюсти при наличии в ротовой полости третьих моляров и без них
Authors: Али Тергам Абдуламир Али  , Походенько-Чудакова И.О.
Published: January 2023

Цель исследования. Проанализировать биохимические показатели (уровень активности щелочной фосфатазы (ЩФ) и уровень содержания ионов кальция Ca2+)) ротовой жидкости у лиц с травматическими переломами нижней челюсти при наличии в ротовой полости третьих моляров и без них и определить направленность влияния последних на гомеостаз и минеральный обмен в ротовой полости.
Объекты и методы исследования. Обследовали 82 человека в возрасте 18–60 лет. Группа 1 – 43 пациента с переломом нижней челюсти, у которых имелось более двух третьих моляров. Группа 2 – 18 пациентов с переломом нижней челюсти, у которых не было третьих моляров. Группа 3 (контрольная) – 21 здоровый человек, у них было более двух третьих моляров. Группы не имели различий по возрасту, полу, соматическому и стоматологическому статусу. Ротовую жидкость для исследования собирали в утренние часы. Уровень активности ЩФ и уровень содержания Ca2+ определяли на полуавтоматическом анализаторе «Clima MC-15» со стандартным набором реактивов. Полученные данные обрабатывали с помощью пакета прикладных программ «Statistica 10.0».
Результаты исследования и их обсуждение. Выявлены значимые различия групп 1 и 3 с помощью критерия Краскела-Уоллиса z=3,372 (H = 12,218, p = 0,002) по уровню активности ЩФ и уровню содержания ионов Ca2+ z = 2,672 (H = 8,767, p = 0,013).
Заключение. Травма челюсти вызывает ишемию тканей, способствует активизации анаэробов, создавая благоприятные условия для их развития, что важно, когда в ротовой полости находятся два и более третьих моляров, которые за счет патологических процессов, связанных с этими зубами, нарушают гомеостаз рта и являются причиной роста уровня эндогенной интоксикации, что убеждает в необходимости более широко использовать дифференцированный подход к сохранению в ротовой полости третьих моляров.

Authors: Md Yunus Nur Alifah , Mustafa Zoraida , Zaharuddin Azalia
Published: January 2023

It is crucially important to know what strategies are used by language learners in learning the targeted language, so that teachers will have better insights to prepare classes that equally suit learners’ behaviour.  This is a pilot study aiming to identify what are the most and less frequent learning strategies used by Japanese language learners at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). A set of questionnaires adapted from the Oxford’s Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) has been distributed to 259 USIM Japanese learners at the end of semester academic year of 2021/2022. 54 students volunteered to participate and answer the questionnaire. The average frequency for each category in SILL has been identified. As for the results, Japanese language learners at USIM are moderate users of metacognitive categories as the average frequency is at the highest. In contrast, strategies from affective categories have the lowest frequency of usage. It is a hope, that in the future, learners are introduced with a set of learning strategies before or during the classes in order to help them find the best way of acquiring the target language.

LEGISLACIÓN SOBRE HUÉRFANOS DE MILITARES FRANQUISTAS Y REPUBLICANOS DURANTE LA GUERRA CIVIL
Authors: TORQUEMADA MARÍA JESÚS
Published: January 2023

El presente trabajo analiza ciertos aspectos de la política social desplegada por los bandos contendientes en la Guerra civil española para salir al paso de un asunto que tocaba la fibra más sensible de una sociedad torturada por la contienda. Los que quedaban huérfanos por fallecimiento de los padres militares se transformaron muy pronto en una insignia de propaganda que no dudarían en utilizar las autoridades de los dos bandos.

            Las soluciones arbitradas desde ambas partes para paliar su desgracia debían gozar del correspondiente respaldo jurídico, haciéndose eco del mismo los diarios oficiales que se publicaban simultáneamente en las dos Españas: la Gaceta de la República y el Boletín Oficial del Estado en la zona Nacional.

            Del análisis de ambos cuerpos jurídicos se pueden inducir las diferencias de mentalidad a la hora de considerar el apoyo que merecían esos menores huérfanos, pero la más dura realidad consiste en que dentro de cada zona, la republicana o la Nacional, solo cabría tutelar a los hijos de sus propios caídos.
Las leyes de educación españolas y la desigualdad en la formación de las mujeres (siglos XVIII-XIX)
Authors: Tovar Pulido Raquel
Published: January 2023

Se estudia la educación que recibían las mujeres en el periodo final del Antiguo Régimen, etapa en la que se produjo una apertura en el campo del conocimiento, fruto del pensamiento ilustrado y de las nuevas ideas liberales que fueron introducidas en España por parte de algunos políticos. Para ello se analiza, por un lado, la legislación del siglo XVIII y cómo durante los reinados de Carlos III y Carlos IV se fomentó la escolarización de las niñas. Por otro lado, se estudian las leyes educativas que fueron aprobadas en el siglo XIX, tales como el Reglamento General de Instrucción Pública de 1821, el Plan General de Instrucción Pública de 1836 y la Ley de Instrucción Pública de 1857. Se establecieron varios niveles de instrucción para niñas y niños, en los que se observan diferencias por sexo en lo que respecta a las materias que se enseñaban en las instituciones públicas de enseñanza. Asimismo, se produjeron mejoras en la formación de maestros y maestras.   
La Dirección General de Seguridad durante el Franquismo. Un instrumento clave para la represión política
Authors: Moreno Tejada Sara
Published: January 2023

Tan pronto como quedó establecido el Estado franquista, sus dirigentes se apresuraron a reorganizar el aparato policial, adaptándolo a sus fundamentos ideológicos y configurándolo como un verdadero instrumento de control social y orden público. De esta manera, la Dirección General de Seguridad sufrió una importante reforma, realizándose modificaciones en su estructura, composición y régimen interno. La relevancia de esta institución es incuestionable, pues de ella dependían los servicios de vigilancia y seguridad, que, como es sabido, fueron el brazo ejecutor de la represión durante la dictadura. El presente trabajo persigue llevar a cabo un análisis de las transformaciones que se realizaron sobre este órgano de la Administración Central durante el primer franquismo. Para alcanzar este fin, ahondaremos en la normativa promulgada en este período, así como en las principales publicaciones científicas que abordaron el estudio de esta corporación.

Published: January 2023

River cruise shipping is a tourism sectors which tends to have rapid growth. This study analyzes the structural properties and connectivity of the river cruise network and cruise ports by using complex network analysis. By analyzing 257 river cruise voyages operated by 5 cruise lines in Southeast Asia, this study shows that the network consists of 31 cruise ports, connected by 94 cruise routes. A small number of ports play a central role in connecting to other ports in the network. The network has a short average path length and a low clustering coefficient. Siem Reap, Koh Chen, Ho Chi Minh City, Halong Bay, and Thanh Pho Ninh Binh are hubs with high connectivity. Siem Reap also plays an intermediary role, and has high reachability with other ports in the network, with the highest betweenness and closeness centralities. The findings of this study are useful for cruise lines and cruise port authorities for improvement of their operations and service network.

The overall goal of this study was to examine the effects of climate change on the yield of four distinct crops (Aus, Aman, Boro and Wheat) in Sylhet by using secondary climate data from 1970 to 2020. The study's other goal is to assess the impact of river water levels on crop productivity in Sylhet over time. Data on crop productivity, weather variability and river water levels were gathered from the various fields. Yield vs. climatic correlation was discovered in the study, and this correlation varied according to season. To estimate the impact of climate change on rice yield, a multiple regression model is used. Climate variables in the model were found to account for 11% of the overall variation in Aus rice yield. The relationship between relative humidity and maximum temperature is positive and statistically significant. Other variables had no effect on yield because they were not significant. Furthermore, Regression results indicated that climate variables account for 60.6 percent of the overall variation in Aman rice output. Relative humidity, on the other hand, can undermine the yield. Climate variables account for 53.5 percent of the overall variation in Boro rice output, according to the findings. As a result, an increase in rainfall may have a negative impact on Boro rice yield. Maximum and minimum temperatures might have a favorable impact on Boro rice yield. Increases in maximum temperature, on the other hand, can considerably boost Wheat yield while decreases in minimum temperature can diminish Wheat yield. On the other side, the results of the regression analysis suggest that river water level has a minor impact on Aus, Aman, and Boro yield. However, as the model demonstrates, the river water level can have an impact on wheat yield. The impact of temperature and rainfall on water level was also investigated in this study because the regression model failed to produce positive results. Surprisingly, the model performs well, despite the fact that maximum temperatures have a negative impact on water levels in the Aus and Aman seasons. This shows that if warmer temperatures aid raises Aus and Aman yields, then the water level cannot sabotage the yield rise. Rainfall has a favorable impact on the water levels in the Aus, Aman, and Boro seasons, but has a negative impact on the water levels in the Wheat season.

The study was conducted to determine the impact of tobacco cultivation on soil and human health in the agricultural ecosystem at Bhuapur and Kalihati upazila of Tangail region from January to December 2019. Among them, 40 soil samples were collected, each 20 from Kalihati and Bhuapur Upazila. Among 20 samples, every 10 samples were collected from tobacco and non-tobacco land at a depth of 0 to 15 cm in Bhuapur, 0 to 15 and 15 to 30 cm in Kalihati Upazila. The soil pH, organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), available sulfur (S), available zinc (Zn), exchangeable potassium (K), exchangeable magnesium (Mg) and exchangeable calcium (Ca) were analyzed in the laboratory of Soil Resource Development Institute (SRDI), Tangail. In Kalihati Upazila, tobacco land showed significantly higher content of OM, available N, available P, available Zn, exchangeable K and exchangeable Mg, whereas pH was low in non-tobacco land. Surface soil (0 to 15 cm) and tobacco land showed significantly higher content of S than sub-surface (15 to 30 cm) soil and non-tobacco land. On the other hand, there was no significant variation between tobacco and non-tobacco land on soil properties in Bhuapur Upazila. In both Upazilas, all the nutrients except exchangeable Ca and Mg were lower than optimum in tobacco and non-tobacco land, which was unsuitable for crop cultivation. The cost of production was higher in tobacco land than in non-tobacco land in both Upazilas. About 36% of farmers informed that they were suffering from various diseases due to tobacco cultivation and curing. Tobacco cultivation in these areas degrades soil health and the agricultural ecosystem and releases nicotine into the environment, hampering food safety and human health. The study indicated that tobacco cultivation should be replaced by other crops to protect soil quality and human health.

Published: January 2023

Amaranth (Amaranthus sp.) is an underutilized pseudo-cereal with excellent nutritional and functional properties. The nutritional compositions, anti-nutritional and mineral content of two Amaranth species were evaluated by using standard procedures. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used for nutritional, anti-nutritional and mineral content with two treatments and five replications. The nutritional compositions of Amaranthus cruentus and Amaranthus hypochondriacus were shown a significant difference (p<0.05) in mean scores excepting moisture content. Phytate and oxalate content of A. cruentus and A. hypochondriacus were shown a significant difference (p<0.05), but tannin content did not show a significant difference (p<0.05). The calcium, iron and zinc content of A. cruentus and A. hypochondriacus were shown a significant difference (p<0.05) in mean, scores. The Amaranth grain species were rich in crude protein, fat and fiber as compared to common cereal grains (maize, sorghum, rice, teff and wheat).  A. cruentus and A. hypochondriacus can contribute minerals such as calcium, iron and zinc, which are very important for human nutrition. The results of the current study indicate that A. cruentus and A. hypochondriacus can provide better nutritional values and mineral content with a minimum value of anti-nutrients that are very important to minimize binds and block the absorption of certain minerals, such as iron, zinc and calcium. Using A. cruentus and A. hypochondriacus alone and with other cereals should be encouraged and recommended for consumption to increase the nutritional composition of diets and decrease food security problem in a study areas.

Published: January 2023

Soil fertility depletion is a serious problem in Ethiopian highland due to leaching of topsoil by runoff, which reduces production and productivity. This experiment conducted in Debub Ari district for two years with the aim of investigating single and combined effect of compost and FYM with inorganic fertilizer on soil fertility improvement and onion crop production. The treatment includes T1) Control, T2) Recommended NP (69/30), T3) NPSZnB (120N, 92P2O5, 20.06S, 5.89Zn, 0.66B) kg ha-1 (264 kg NPSZnB + 161 kg urea), T4) 10 t ha-1 FYM, T5) 10 t ha-1 compost, T6) 5 tha-1 FYM + 50% of treatment-3 and T7) 5 t ha-1 compost + 50% of treatment-3. Treatments are arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. Soil before the experiment showed moderately acidic, moderate in organic matter and boron, low in sulfur high in available P and total nitrogen. The results showed significant differences among the treatments on onion plant height, bulb diameter, marketable and biological yield. The highest total yield 19.99 t ha-1, 19.59 t ha-1 and 19.25 t ha-1 was recorded from NPSZnB (120N, 92P2O5, 20.06S, 5.89Zn, 0.66B) kg ha-1, 5 t ha-1 compost + 50% of T-3 and 5 t ha-1 FYM + 50% of T-3 respectively and that increase yield by 39%, 35% and 33% over the control. Soils after the experiment become medium in sulfur remain static in available boron and total nitrogen. Economic feasibility that the maximum net benefit of 246059 and 242442 ETB ha-1 with acceptable %MRR of 290 and 1300 was obtained with the application of NPSZnB (120N, 92P2O5, 20.06S, 5.89Zn, 0.66B) kg ha-1 and  5 t ha-1 FYM + 50% of T-3, respectively. Therefore, the application of those two treatments is recommended for higher yield production in the study area.

Relationships between body weight, body condition score at breeding and reproductive and progeny performance in Kiko meat goats over two breeding cycles
Authors: Okere Chukwuemeka , Abrahamsen Frank , Gurung Nar
Published: January 2023

Body condition scores (BCS) and/or body weights (BWT) are often used as visual or tactile management tools to evaluate and improve reproductive competency in pasture-managed small ruminant animals. This study was designed to evaluate relationships between BCS, BWT and reproductive traits (number born alive and weaned, litter size, birth and weaning weights) in 16 purebred Kiko, 11 purebred Boer and 7 Kiko x Boer crossbred meat goat dams that were semi-intensively managed and bred to both Boer and Kiko bucks. BWT was recorded using a scale and palpable BCS scale of 1 to 5 (1= emaciated to 5= obese) and was subjectively determined at breeding, parturition and weaning. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) analysis was used to determine the relationships between residual values of reproductive and progeny performance and BWT or BCS. Pre-partum BCS and weaning BCS had a correlation of r=0.09. A moderate correlation was observed between BWT at breeding and the number born alive (r=0.36) suggesting that pre-partum BWT is the key body conformation measurement linked to the reproductive performance of dams both at birth and weaning. Both at breeding and at weaning BCS were negatively correlated with litter size (r= -0.11) and birth weight (r=-0.32) and weakly correlated with the number born alive (r=0.06). Also, negative correlations were obtained between BCS at weaning and kid weaning weight (r=-0.58) and number weaned (r=-0.26). Although BCS had no significant (P≥0.05) effect on kg kids born per dam, birth weight of kids, and kids weaning weights, it is evident that a BCS score of 3 at the mating time could optimize reproductive performance. The results of this project established the important roles that pre-breeding BWT and/or BCS have on reproductive performance (kidding rate) in meat goat herds.  We recommend their evaluation as a useful management tool for distinguishing differences in the pre-partum nutritional needs of meat goat herds, especially in the pasture-based production system.
