An investigation was conducted to identify the most desirable genotypes of parthenocarpic cucumber under protected cultivation. Experimental material consists of 23 genotypes of parthenocarpic cucumber including 1 check (KPCH-1) and the experiment was laid out in three replications with support of Randomized Block Design. ANOVA revealed significant differences among the genotypes for 17 traits. Based on the genotypes' mean performance for all traits investigated, m earliest days to first flower (26.80) and minimum inter-nodal length (7.22 cm) was observed in genotype BRPCU-1×BRPCU-8, whereas maximum number of flowers per node (2.20), number fruits per vine (31.47) and yield per vine (3.96 kg) was observed in genotype BRPCU1×BRPCU-8. The lowest node to the first flower (3.27) was observed in genotype BRPCU-2×BRPCU-7. Earliest days to first picking (39.80 days) whereas highest TSS (3.87 °Brix) and longest span of harvesting (58.67 days) was noted in genotype in BRPCU-2×BRPCU-5. The highest average fruit weight was recorded in genotype BRPCU-2×BRPCU-8 (143.07 g), while the highest fruit length was observed in genotype BRPCU-5 (20.73 cm). Genotype BRPCU-3×BRPCU-8 (3.90 cm) had maximum fruit diameter. Maximum vine length was recorded in BRPCU-6×BRPCU-7 (3.15 m). The best top-performing genotypes identified in the present study were BRPCU1×BRPCU-8, BRPCU-2×BRPCU-5, and BRPCU-3×BRPCU-8 were superior for most of the fruit yield components and quality traits.
Scythian Dagger from Pilyugino village (South Urals) with Zoomorphic and Ornamental Hilt Decorations
Authors: Zuev Vadim Yu. ,   The International scientific journal Stratum Plus (Russian Federation, St. Petersburg)
Published: July 2024

The article publishes information about a series of daggers of the Scythian period from the Urals with zoomorphically decorated and patterned grips. They fit into a series of iron blades with similar decorations. This series has eastern origins, but is closely connected with the Southern Urals. Twelve daggers discovered in different years in the Southern Urals are distinguished by both a unified artistic program for the decoration of iron daggers and swords, and labour-intensive manufacturing. The hilts of the daggers bear heraldic schemes combining predators, traditional Scythian mythology and a unified visual tradition. This series of weapons belongs to the Filippovka cultural horizon of the 5th–4th centuries BC. The author considers this series of blades to be inherent in the Scythian culture and in no way connected with the culture of the historical Sarmatians. This culture formed in the Urals of the 6th–4th centuries BC. It is interpreted as a Scythian phenomenon that existed in the region until the late 4th century BC. In the historical context it can be identified with the culture of the so-called “deposited Scythians” of Herodotus. Chance finds of daggers may mark trade routes along the edge of the steppe zone along which caravan roads passed. These routes were controlled by the Scythian nomads. They used swords and daggers for ritual ceremonies (prayers to the god of war, or commemoration of fallen heroes, etc.). In such ritual places along trade routes, daggers were left behind, which explains why “accidental” finds of Scythian swords and daggers are so frequent in present days.

Published: July 2024

During the early Iron Age, the Middle Oka Region was inhabited by Gorodets tribes. The collection of Scythian and Sarmatian weapons in Shilovsky District Museum of Local History is mainly comprised with accidental finds made by locals and materials discovered by exploration researches. Shilovsky District of Ryazan Region is situated at the border between mixed and broad-leaved forests. Back in the early Iron Age they were occupied by Gorodets tribes. The indigenous people were engaged in hunting, fishing and cattle breeding. The area is fringed with forest-steppe vegetation in the south. It provided access to steppe nomadic invaders. It is proven by finds of Scythian and Sarmatian weapon. Scythian iron arrowheads have three blades, narrow triangular proportions and a bushing longer than the fletching. Similar arrowheads are typical for Scythian antiquities found in the Middle Don River and dated 4th–3rd century BC. Iron tanged triple-bladed arrowheads have Sarmatian origins and date back to 3rd–1st century BC. Iron acinaci are severely damaged with corrosion, which prevents establishment of their typology and chronology. The original find is a combat knife with a ring pommel and a single-edged blade Single-edged bladed weapon was created under oriental influence. The early Scythian is the period an iron spearhead with a C-shaped bushing is dated. It is transition from bronze heads to iron ones. One of the rare finds is a bell-shaped copper helmet. It has signs of damage that obstruct its typological identification. Its closest equivalents are the Montefortino helmets and pilei. Having analysed the collection of artefacts it can be concluded that the Gorodets people and steppe nomads were actively interacting at war during the entire Scythian-Sarmatian epoch. The research fails to confirm that the steppe nomads were trade intermediaries between the Antique Black Sea area and the forest zone people

Published: July 2024

Currently, positron emission tomography (PET) is the standard imaging modality in neuro-oncology for gliomas and metastatic lesions. The experience of PET application in meningiomas, the most frequent primary CNS neoplasms, is much less, and the interpretation of the study results has a number of differences. The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility and peculiarities of PET application in meningiomas based on our own clinical experience and literature review.
The study included 70 patients with 77 meningiomas who underwent PET/CT with 11C-methionine. The mean age at the time of examination was 57.4 years (19–86 years).
The main evaluation parameter, the tumor-to-brain ratio (TBR) of 11C-methionine (11C–MET) averaged 3.13 (1.00–10.66). Meningiomas were characterized by high 11C–MET TBR, with 89.6% of cases having TBR greater than 1.5. In histologically verified WHO grade 1, 2, and 3 meningiomas, the median TBR was 4.06 [3.04, 4.57], 2.32 [2.12, 3.69], and 4.29 [2.60, 5.10] and did not differ significantly between groups. Meanwhile, in histologically unresectable slow-growing or non-growing incidental meningiomas, TBR of 11C–MET was significantly lower than in WHO grade 1 and 3 meningiomas.
There was no significant difference in the accumulation index between irradiated meningiomas with tumor growth control (3.81 [2.97, 3.98]) and recurrence (3.62 [2.60, 4.30]). When irradiated and non-irradiated meningiomas of WHO grade 1, 2 and 3, as well as the combined group of grade 1–3 tumors were compared, no significant differences in 11C–MET TBR were found.
The use of PET/CT in meningiomas has a number of important features. Meningiomas are characterized by high TBR of 11C–MET. According to our data PET/CT with 11C–MET does not allow differentiating between meningiomas of different degrees of malignancy – 1, 2 or 3 according to WHO. With effective radiotherapy, meningiomas show partial reduction of TBR or remain stable. Even with prolonged growth control after radiation treatment, meningiomas may still have high TBR of 11C–MET. When comparing growing and stable meningiomas, irradiated and non-irradiated tumors, no significant differences in TBR of 11C–MET are found.

Authors: Irfadila Mimi Sri
Published: July 2024

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kurangnya kemampuan siswa dalam menulis fabel. Faktor yang menyebabkan kurangnya kemampuan siswa dalam menulis fabel antara lain: (1) pembelajaran menulis cerita fabel kurang diminati karena menurut siswa menulis adalah kegiatan yang membosankan. (2) siswa belum terampil menentukan struktur cerita fabel dan kurang pengetahuan tentang aspek dalam menulis cerita fabel. (3) masih kurang terbentuknya karakter atau sikap siswa yang baik selama proses pembelajaran. Terbukti dari hasil tugas siswa yang berjumlah 40 orang, ada beberapa siswa yang mendapat nilai yang tuntas dan sesuai KKM yaitu 2.66 sebanyak 47,5% atau tidak mencapai sebagian siswa yang tuntas, dan ada juga beberapa siswa lain yang belum tuntas atau belum mencapai KKM dalam menulis cerita fabel sesuai struktur yakni sebanyak 52,5%. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode deskripsi yang bertujuan membuat gambaran secara objektif. Teknik pengumpulan data: (1) Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara melakukan observasi ke tempat penelitian, (2) melakukan validasi soal melalui kelas pretes, (3) melakukan tes melalui proses pembelajaran, (4) setelah itu baru ditayangkan film pendek berdurasi 6-8 menit. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan langkah-langkah sebagai berikut: pertama, menjelaskan secara singkat mengenai cerita fabel, struktur dalam cerita fabel selama 30 menit, kedua, siswa diminta menulis cerita fabel bedasarkan media yang telah dilihat dan didengarnya selama 30 menit. Berdasarkan hasil nilai siswa pada pengolahan skor rata-rata kemampuan siswa dalam menulis cerita fabel menggunakan media audio visual siswa kelas VIII M.Ts. Muhammadiyah Padangpanjang adalah 75.05. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kemampuan menulis cerita fabel siswa menggunakan media audio visual berada pada kualifikasi baik. Keuntungan media audio visual adalah: pertama, media audio visual gerak melengkapi pengalaman-pengalaman dasar dari siswa ketika mereka membaca, berdiskusi, berpraktik, kedua, di samping mendorong dan meningkatkan motivasi, media audio visual gerak menanamkan sikap dan segi-segi efektif lainnya. Kelemahan media audio visual adalah pertama, penggadaan biaya mahal dan waktu yang banyak, kedua, gambar-gambar yang disampaikan bergerak terus sehingga tidak semua siswa dapat mengikuti informasi yang disampaikan, ketiga, ketersediaan listrik yang kurang memadai.

For non-native English speakers, effective and meaningful communication in English can pose challenges due to potential limitations in their communicative competence. Such challenges can cause communication breakdowns if not effectively managed. This complexity is compounded when English communication occurs in an online setting, where technological issues and lack of social presence may disrupt the communication. This study aims to explore the communication strategies utilized by Indonesian EFL learners when participating in online group discussions. The data were collected from six groups of first-year English Department students involving a total of twenty-two students engaged in 20-minute online discussions per group. The analysis focused on the discourse produced by the participants during these discussions observing the strategies employed by the participants. The findings indicated that Indonesian EFL learners predominantly applied achievement and compensatory strategies. These strategies encompassed code-switching, circumlocution, approximation, the use of all-purpose words, word foreignizing, and appealing for help. Among these strategies, code-switching emerged as the prevailing strategy for Indonesian EFL learners engaged in online group discussions. While conversing, code- switching was automatically and naturally used, particularly when referring to Indonesian acronyms and names. At last, implications and future directions are addressed.

In conducting this research, the method used is a qualitative descriptive method to assess the potential, tourism development strategies carried out by the Tourism Office in Aruri District, Supiori Regency. The results show that there is potential for natural tourism, and cultural tourism and underwater tourism that have not been managed optimally by the local government. The three types of tourism potential are closely related to migration between residents on Biak and Supiori islands in the 17th and 18th centuries and in the early 19th century and the events of the first and second World Wars. A special approach is needed in exploring the potential of local nature and culture in order to earn foreign exchange through tourism development in the area.

Authors: Armawi Sullati , Masood Afrah
Published: July 2024

This article describes learning Arabic using online applications in secondary and tertiary schools in the Aceh region. It analyzes the benefits and obstacles faced by teachers and students. This research uses the qualitative-analytical approach using Creswell's analysis theory, including data preparation and processing, building a general sense of information, and coding and interpreting the data. This research shows that learning the Arabic language through online applications is an activity that provides information, especially Arabic language studies, through the Internet, such as via WhatsApp, Google Classroom, Zoom, Kahoot, and Quizizz applications. Using these applications makes them more knowledgeable in developing their technology capabilities. Technology can accustom students to independent learning and not rely on the teacher's explanation alone, creating the habit of reading and analyzing educational materials. One of the obstacles to learning through electronic media is the lack of access to the Internet in rural areas of Aceh. There are no computers or laptops for students, and there are materials that are difficult to understand.

Counterfeit medicines represent a public health threat that results in treatment failure and may even have lethal effects in the worst-case scenario. Near-infrared Chemical Imaging (NIR-CI) offers an informative and in-depth tool for several applications in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly for medicine authentication. The current study aimed to authenticate antibiotic tablets using NIR-CI. These tablets were measured non-destructively using a near-infrared microscope within their blister packaging, without their blisters, sectioned and crushed. The results showed that there was no marked difference in measuring the tablets within or without their blister packaging. The mean spectra of tablets showed high correlation coefficient values against the active pharmaceutical ingredient, in case of authentic tablets. On the other hand, counterfeit tablets showed key differences from their authentic alternatives with low correlation coefficient values. More specifically, counterfeit tablets showed poor distribution of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and excipients. It has been proved from the results that NIR-CI process is an authentic process for the evaluation of counterfeit tablets, non-destructively.

Medicinal plants play a substantial role in treating various disorders. This study aims to evaluate the phytochemicals and anti-dandruff activity of a fruit husk of Cassia fistula Linn as a remedy for treating dandruff. Various extracts of fruit husk were extracted using sequential extraction methods, namely n-hexane, chloroform, and methanol. Primarily, the polyphenols and flavonoids of the various extracts were determined. The methanol extract contained the maximum number of polyphenols (48.97 ± 0.27), while the flavonoids were found in a large amount in the n-hexane extract (123.0 ± 0.82). Anti-dandruff activity was performed using a well-diffusion method against Malassezia species. At 1.0 g/mL concentration, n-hexane showed a zone of inhibition of 12.5 mm, while 18.50 mm and 20.50 mm at concentrations of 1.5 g/mL and 2.0 g/mL, respectively. At the concentration of 3000 mg/mL, the inhibition zone of 23.60 mm was observed. Extracts of Cassia fistula linn were effective for the treatment of dandruff. Therefore, in vivo studies are crucially required to explore the mechanism of action.

Counterfeit and illicit tobacco may contain potentially toxic organic impurities that result in adverse health effects for the consumer. Carcinogenic substances have been found in elevated concentrations in counterfeit tobacco. The current study explored swift and cost-effective methods, such as Fourier-transform infrared, Raman, and near-infrared spectroscopy to identify counterfeit tobacco products. Moreover, it also assessed the spectral quality based on range, number of peaks, maximum peak intensity, and signal-to-noise ratio. In spectral analysis, infrared exhibited superior quality over Raman and near-infrared with a higher signal-to-noise ratio. Near-infrared, although with a limited wavelength range, showed good quality. Raman, however, displayed poor spectral quality due to noise interference. Identification success varied with chemo-metric methods, with infrared correctly identifying four out of five counterfeit tobacco products and near-infrared identifying three out of five. Raman failed in identification, while infrared showed success with some mismatches using principal component analysis. Near-infrared and Raman successfully identified counterfeit tobacco, with near-infrared providing the most distinct separation. Quantification results varied across spectroscopy techniques and chemo-metric methods.
A Critical Analysis of Effectiveness of Anti-Corruption Laws in Pakistan: Policy Recommendations
Authors: Akram Rehan
Published: July 2024

This policy paper attempts to gauge the effectiveness of anti-corruption laws in Pakistan designed to address the menace of corruption. For this purpose, the challan and conviction data of NAB, FIA, and ACE (Punjab) over the past few years has been analyzed. It has been observed that the change in NAB law in 2021 and 2022 had a significantly negative impact on both the number of challans / references filed by NAB and conviction ratios. The analysis of the amended NAB law shows its inherent deficiencies in addressing the offenses related to assets beyond means and misuse of authority. Furthermore, the predominant law of both FIA and ACE – Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947 – is unable to deal with the complexities of the 21st century, thus significantly impacting the conviction ratios of these agencies. It is also discussed that the countries with very low CPI, such as Singapore, have a broad perspective regarding the definition of corruption which is lacking in our national anti-corruption legal framework. The policy paper also discusses the preventive approach of Hong Kong to combat corruption, both, at legislative and strategic levels. Based on analysis and discussion, this research recommends necessary rectifications in the anti-corruption legal framework of the country to make it effective in curbing the prevalence of corruption in Pakistan.
