Published: October 2022

The present study was carried out in two agro-climatic zones of the state of Haryana in India, viz. north-easternzone and south-western zone with the objective that how farmers approach soil-health management in nutrientdeficient soils. The outcomes have been visualised in this paper after conducting a field survey during 2018–19 of 240 farmers, who were interviewed with a well-structured interview schedule. The study found that respondents’ awareness level was good about the Integrated Nutrient Management (INM), had a rich knowledge about Integrated Farming System (IFS) and were well aware about organic farming. Major constraints faced by the respondents in INM, IFS and organic farming were ‘high fertilizer cost and manures are bulky to handle’, ‘high rate of interest on borrowings and initial cost of production’ and ‘prices are not remunerative’, respectively. The study concluded that there was a gap in awareness level of soil health management practices among the farmers. Hence, there is an immense need to motivate and encourage the farmers.

Published: October 2022

Weeds compete with crop plants throughput the plant growth period and causes significant losses in quality, productivity and profitability. Seed spices are more sensitive to crop weed competition as they are grown under arid conditions where moisture is the limiting factor. A study was carried out to identify the critical period of weed competition in ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi Sprague) during 2012-13 to 2014-2015 at ICAR-National Research Centre on Seed Spices, Ajmer, Rajasthan. Treatments included weedy and weed-free condition for different growth periods, i.e. 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120 days after sowing (DAS) along with weed free throughout growth period and weedy throughout growth period. Weedy period up to 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120 DAS and weedy throughout growth period reduced the seed yield significantly to the tune of 321.4, 463.0, 607.7, 705.9, 852.9, 950.4, 1072.9 and 1162.4 kg/ha respectively as compared with the weed free throughout growth period. Weed free up to 15 DAS to 120 DAS decreased the seed yield from 1039.4 to 99.0 kg/ha as compared to the weed free throughout growth period. Weedy period up to 75 DAS gave tough competition to the crop for growth which was reflected in yield attributes and seed yield of ajwain. The maximum yield of 1244.5 kg/ha was obtained with the treatment weed free throughout growth period, this was also found economically viable which resulted in highest gross return of ` 136891/ha, net returns ` 102953/ha and B: C ratio of 3.03. Critical period for weed competition in ajwain was found to be 54 days after sowing.

The study was carried out in mutated population of sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] cv. Mosambi developed from varying dose of gamma rays (10-35 Gy) to determine its effect on leaf sclerophylly, photosynthesis and leaf anatomical characters at the Division of Fruits and Horticultural Technology, ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during 2017 and 2018. As compared to wild type leaf area, fresh and dry mass was stimulated by 19.53, 18.42 and 20.37% in mutant GS-3 developed from 10 Gy, while in the mutants GS-33 and GS-35 developed from 35 Gy >50% inhibitory effects were noticed. Leaves were however, 82.06% more succulent in the mutant developed from 30 Gy. Mutated population showed dose dependent effect with regard to SLA, SLW and DFT. A significant decline in the photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance was noticed at 35 Gy in GS-32, whereas mutant GS-34 developed from the same irradiation dose had the minimum transpiration rate. Stomata length and width in the mutants GS-17 and GS-15 as compared to wild type registered an increase of 25.50% and 15.96%. A general reduction in stomata number was observed in the mutated populations. Our result indicated alteration in traits of the mutated population which are of significance and can be used as a selection criterion for improvement of sweet orange.

Increasing energy use efficiency and reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions from agriculture are majorchallenges to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). An experiment, comprising 14 treatments, viz. sole peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), peanut-fallow-sesbania, peanut-fallow-green gram (GG), peanut-conventional tilled wheat (CTW), peanut-CTW-sesbania, peanut-CTW-GG, peanut-CTW-wheat straw incorporation (WSI), peanut-zero tilled wheat (ZTW), peanut-ZTW-sesbania, peanut-ZTW-GG, peanut-ZTW-WSI, peanut+pigeonpea, peanut+pigeonpeasesbania and peanut+pigeonpea-GG was laid out in randomized block design with three replications for five consecutive years (2011–12 to 2015–16) at Junagadh, Gujarat, at fixed site to study the influence of conservation agricultural practices on energetics and profitability of peanut-based cropping systems. Green manuring with sesbania significantly improved the pod yield of peanut (12.8%) and seed yield of pigeonpea (8.9%). Zero tillage (ZT) improved wheat yield by 4.8% over Conventional tillage (CT). The energy requirement of peanut+pigeonpea intercropping was 16.7% lower than peanut–wheat cropping system irrespective of GM and WSI. Peanut–ZT wheat with sesbania green manure recorded highest energy output (251.2 × 103 MJ/ha) and net energy (201.0 × 103 MJ/ha). This cropping system also fetched the highest system productivity (4551 kg/ha), and system profitability (` 125.7 × 103/ha) followed by peanut–ZT wheat (INR 120.6/ha × 103/ha). Therefore, peanut–ZT wheat–green manuring (sesbania/greengram) cropping system was found as productive, economical and energy efficient which might be promoted to intensify the sole peanut cropping in Saurashtra region of Gujarat.

COMPARISON OF TREE IMPLEMENTATION, REGRESSION LOGISTICS, AND RANDOM FOREST TO DETECT IRIS TYPES
Authors: Mukodimah Siti , Fauzi Chairani
Published: October 2022

Iris is a genus of 260-300 species of flowering plants with striking flower colors and has a dominant color in each region. The name iris is taken from the Greek word for rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris. The number of types of iris plants with almost the same physical characteristics, especially in the pistil and crown, causes the misdetection of iris plant types. Iris plants are deliberately used because data is already available digitally on the internet and software such as orange and is widely used as a material for classifying objects. This research was conducted to classify iris plant types using three algorithms, namely Tree algorithm, Regression Logistics, and Random Forest. Classification algorithms are a learning method for predicting the value of a group of attributes in describing and distinguishing a class of data or concepts that aim to predict a class of objects whose class labels are unknown. The results showed the largest AUC (Area Under Curve) value obtained by the Random Forest method. AUC accuracy is said to be perfect when the AUC value reaches 1,000 and the accuracy is poor if the AUC value is below 0.500. As for the precision value of the three models used Random Forest has the highest precision value. From the data tests that have been done training and testing can be seen that the level of accuracy of testing of the three models where the Random Forest model is superior as a method for classification of irises.

Data or information at this time is not only presented in written form, but also in the form of images that require greater storage. Most of the images in the digital world use the JPEG format, where the Discrete Cosine Transform is the heart of the JPEG format, the use of DCT coefficients for indexing and image retrieval causes the retrieving process to be slower because more coefficients are processed compared to the DC coefficient method, which is only 1 /64 (1 DC coefficient) of the DCT coefficient. In this research, we perform Content Based Image Retrieval with DC feature extraction of 15,000 natural images, then calculate the distance between the images using the Manhattan Distance method. The final result of calculating precision and recall shows a value of 0.6624 and a time of less than 2 seconds, with a maximum value of 1.876 seconds.

Published: October 2022

Ice cream is a wholesome, nutritious frozen dairy product. Consumer acceptance of ice cream depends largely on its structure, textural quality, resistance to melting, nutritional composition and flavour. Incorporation of fruits and spices is one of the choices to increase consumer acceptance. The study was focused to develop a nutritional and flavour rich palmyra pulp ice cream with selected spices and jaggery. Eight sensory evaluation tests were carried out with 30 semi-trained panellist using 5 point hedonic scales. Initial sensory evaluation test results reveals pulp which is less bitter and added in overrun combination was selected for both natural and commercial pulp. Then 25% of pulp was selected for both type of pulp. By using the combination which is selected in previous sensory evaluation natural pulp ice cream and commercial pulp ice cream were developed. From that; natural pulp ice cream was preferred as best. Then for the selected ice cream, 125 ppm level of ginger and cinnamon oleoresins incorporated products were selected as best outputs. When comparing cinnamon natural pulp ice cream and ginger natural pulp ice cream, the first one was preferred because of bitterness masking property of ginger.

Published: October 2022

Clerodendrum phlomidis L. (Arani) is a medicinal plant used in the treatment of Diabetes mellitus. Enzymatic studies helps to differentiate between embryonic and non-embryonic callus at very early stage. In vitro experiments were conducted using leaf, stem, node, internode, apical bud as an explant. Callus cultured on MS basal medium supplemented with various combinations of 2, 4-D and Kinetin (1 : 1, 2 : 2, 3 : 3, 4 : 4, 5 : 5 mg/l 2,4-D : Kinetin). Large variations were observed in the callus cultures owing to hormonal variations. Higher hormonal concentration 5 mg/l 2, 4-D + 5 mg/l kinetin resulted in somatic embryoids while lower concentrations 1:1, 2:2, 3:3 mg/l, 2,4-D : kinetin resulted in non-embryonic cells. Enzymatic activities of peroxidase, IAA- oxidase, invertase, protease,  and  amylase, polyphenol oxidase (PPO), catalase and enzyme protein were estimated from cytoplasmic as well as wall-bound fractions of 2, 4, 6and 8 week old callus using standard methods. In two week old culture peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase (both wall bound and cytoplasmic) activity increases in non-embryonic callus and decreases in embryonic callus while IAA oxidase and Protease (both wall bound and cytoplasmic) activity decreases in non-embryonic callus and increases in embryonic callus. Total amylase and α-amylase activity of wall bound enzymes increases in non-embryonic callus and decreases in embryonic callus while cytoplasmic activity decreases in non-embryonic callus and increases in embryonic callus. On the basis of the above study enzymes could serve as a biochemical marker to determine the embryonic and non-embryonic callus at very early stage.

Digital learning media is the use of technology in the form of software to distribute information (transfer of knowledge) to students. The purpose of using digital learning media is so that students can receive knowledge, skills, more easily, without being constrained by space and time. Digital learning systems require infrastructure and technology support, such as computers, internet access, servers, television, interactive video, CD/DVD ROM, and so on. Digital learning can be done in two ways, namely fully digital or in combination with face to face (face to face). Face to face can also be done by involving technology, such as video conferencing or tele conferencing. The success of developing a digital learning requires a gradual design. Digital design is known as storyboarding and visual mapping (visual map). This design is specifically focused on the use of advanced methods in digital learning, especially on the aspects of design and its principles.

Objective. To compare the effects of applying Extra-Corporal Shockwave treatment (ESWT) and Muscle Energy Technique (MET) to the Quadratus lumborum (QL) with regards to pain and function. Methods. 77 participants were included in this study. Patients were included if they were diagnosed as Myofascial pain syndrome, pain localized on the QL muscle; surrounding tightness; QL tenderness; and painful trigger points, causing referred pain around the QL. Outcome measures. Pain was measured by the Visual analogue scale (VAS), Pain pressure threshold (PPT) by the algometer and functional disability by the Oswestry pain disability index (ODI). Intervention. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. For the first group, ESWT was delivered by the Dornier AR2; smart focus technology on the tender point of the QL muscle. Three sessions were delivered with 2 days of rest following each session. The second group received the MET for 3 sessions as well. Results. The pre-treatment assessment revealed no significant differences between groups with regards to the pain (measured by the VAS & PPT) and Functional disability (measured by ODI). Following treatment, within group comparisons for the ECSW and Met groups respectively revealed significant differences with regards to pain (P = 0.0001), PPT (P = 0.0001) and ODI (P = 0.024 and 0.004 respectively) Between group comparisons revealed significant differences in favor of the ECSW group with regards to pain and PPT (P = 0.0001) with no significant difference with regards to ODI. Conclusion. ESWT showed better outcomes in improving QL myofascial pain and PPT than MET in the short term. Both treatment techniques improved the functional disability but with no significant difference between them.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an almost immediate need to limit social contact, including access to full-time education. Teaching in the 2020/2021 academic year relied almost entirely on remote education. Medical students felt the problem of the lack of student-patient contact in particular. Internships and apprenticeships were kept to a minimum, and in many universities there were no apprenticeships, which also translated into the lack of acquisition of practical knowledge, which is very important in the work of a future medic. The study covered students from all voivodeships. The nationwide character of the study made it possible to obtain objective results. The objective of the study was to examine the level of satisfaction and acquired skills of students of the medical faculty, i.e. physiotherapy within remote education. The results of the study and the literature review show that the preferred form of education in medical faculties is a mixed form of education, and student satisfaction with the remote form is rather low. It has been shown that this method of education does not lower the level of satisfaction, and at the same time has a positive effect on the economic aspect of studying.

Purpose. To investigate the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) on ankle pain, range of motion, balance, and Ankle and Foot Outcome Score (FAAOS) in patients with chronic ankle instability. Methods. Randomized controlled trial. Overall, 50 patients of both genders with age ranged from 16–30 years with chronic ankle instability were recruited and divided randomly into two equal groups; Group (A) (control group), received traditional physical therapy treatment (dynamic balance training) for 4 weeks, Group (B) (experimental group), received the same traditional PT treatment in addition to IASTM for 4 weeks. Pre- and post-treatment assessment using Visual analogue scale (VAS), Plastic goniometer, Biodex balance system and FAAOS were done for all patients. Results. The comparison between both groups post-treatment revealed statistically significant reductions in VAS, as well as overall stability index in favour of experimental group (B) (p < 0.001) and a significant increase in FAAOS, dorsiflexion, planter flexion, inversion and eversion range of motion in favour of experimental group (B) (p < 0.001). Conclusion. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization has a significant effect on reducing pain, increasing range of motion and improving balance and function in patients with chronic ankle instability.

Education is an ongoing process, from the past, now and in the future. Christian education in its nature is to guide one to exit the darkness in order live in accordance with God’s will. God’s will has been opened to the world thru revelation. Jesus Christ is the peak of the revelation. All christian education should, therefore, be centralized or based on Christ and His commission. His commission is plain: that all nations become His true disciples.

Authors: Ruku Noh
Published: October 2022

Kredibilitas Utusan Lintas Budaya merupakan sebuah studi biblika dan praktika (misiologi), dengan pendekatan induktif yang akan mempelajari ketahanan seorang utusan lintas budaya dalam menghadapi berbagai situasi di ladang misi, memahami dan menegaskan tentang pentingnya unsur pengetahuan (teologi) dan pengalaman (pelayanan) untuk mempersiapkan dan mengutus utusan lintas budaya yang memiliki kredibilitas tinggi.

Rasul Paulus menjadi role model seorang utusan lintas budaya yang memiliki kredibilitas tinggi. Prinsip-prinsip Alkitabiah diletakan sebagai dasar kredibilitas utusan lintas budaya dan bagaimana menerapkannya masa kini. Para utusan lintas budaya memiliki kredibilitas karena mengalami pertobatan yang sejati, menangkap panggilan Tuhan secara jelas, bersedia diperlengkapi dengan belajar Firman Tuhan dan diutus untuk memenuhi panggilan misi di ladang lintas budaya.

Kredibilitas Utusan Lintas Budaya menjadi teruji ketika berada di ladang, karena ia mampu mengidentifikasikan masalah baik dari segi pengajaran maupun pelayanan, memikirkan solusi alkitabiah dan bahkan menjadi efektif karena kehadirannya berdampak, melalui orang-orang lokal yang bertobat dan bertumbuh melalui pemuridan, melayani dan mengambil bagian dalam pelayanan misi. Kesuksesan utusan lintas budaya dalam pelayanan di ladang dapat dinilai melalui kredibilitasnya sampai akhir hidup/masa tugasnya.

Rekomendasi dari peneliti adalah untuk gereja atau lembaga pengutus dalam mepersiapkan tenaga utusannya di ladang pelayanan lintas budaya, untuk para utusan agar mempersiapkan diri menjadi tenaga utusan yang kredibel, serta para mitra pendukung agar menjadi mitra yang baik demi efektivitas pelayanan misi lintas budaya.
