Emotional burnout syndrome influence on the functional state of the teacher
Authors: Arystanbay A. , Tykezhanova G.M.
Published: February 2024

Nowadays, the role of psychosocial work-related factors is increasing both in the production and non-production areas, which are predisposing to the development of psycho-emotional overstrain, professional stress and burnout. Emotional burnout is associated with psychological discomfort of events, tension, anxiety, loss of life meaning and a tendency to suicide. It manifests itself in the deformation of professional development, personality destruction, in a decrease in the duration and quality of life and the productivity of professional activity. As it is known, professional activity, including the professional environment, affects the state and emotions of the worker, causing a change in the assessment of the situation and in the actions of a person in accordance with the requirements of the activity and their capabilities. Socio-economic changes, taking place in society, cause new requirements for specialists in almost all professions, including teachers. Teachers should possess not only professional knowledge, skills, and abilities, moreover they should have special abilities and personality characteristics that provide flexibility and dynamism of professional behavior. High levels of neuropsychic and emotional stress are related to teachers' occupations, and as a result, health problems develop. The issue of teachers developing emotional burnout syndrome is addressed in this article. Teachers who are gradually losing energy show signs of emotional debilitation, personal dispassion, physical fatigue, and a decrease of job satisfaction. The paper also presents a theoretical and practical research of emotional burnout syndrome among teachers, the peculiarities of the presentation and factors of emotional burnout are indicated.

Published: February 2024

Object: The objective of this article is to analyze how authorities and business entities interact at the regional level. The focus is on understanding the various forms and mechanisms of this interaction. Furthermore, the goal is to create guidelines and actionable suggestions for enhancing this interaction within the context of modernizing local economies.Methods: The evaluation of the institutional environment for conducting business in different regions involves enhancing the methodology used to assess the collaboration between governmental bodies and business entities.Findings: The study also identifies and organizes the relationship between contemporary government and business interactions in terms of their forms and mechanisms. This involves a categorization process that takes into account factors including the efficiency and immediacy of their cooperation, their societal implications, the encompassed organizational frameworks, and the approaches employed to implement collaborative initiatives within the region. The research suggests that conflicts of interest arise between regional authorities and business entities within modernized regional economies. While government bodies endeavor to assign societal responsibilities to businesses and increase budget revenues, proactive business entities, on the other hand, advocate for limitations on their involvement with governmental services. Moreover, ensuring effective partnership requires pivotal measures such as substantial reduction of tax burdens and the removal of administrative hurdles that contravene the fundamental principles of mutual cooperation between the government and businesses.Conclusions: The scientific investigation has uncovered various factors that drive the emergence of social responsibility trends within business, often arising as an unintended form of behavior. Moreover, distinct criteria have been established to assess the execution of socially responsible initiatives undertaken by business entities. These criteria are categorized into two groups: one pertains to the evaluation of social responsibility actions through non-financial reporting, and the other encompasses criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the reporting itself.

Published: February 2024

Object: The aim of the study is to assess the level of economic security of the Ukrainian dairy industry in order to identify threats in a timely manner. The object of the research is the economic security of the dairy industry in Ukraine. The subject of the research is the process of assessing the level of economic security of the dairy industry in Ukraine.Methods: statistical and comparative analysis, taxonomic method and golden section method.Findings: The article builds a fractal model of economic security levels. The resource, commercial and social components are allocated to assess the economic security of the supersystem of the enterprise, namely, the dairy industry of Ukraine. To assess the economic security of the supersystem of the enterprise, namely, the dairy industry of Ukraine, it is proposed to single out the resource, commercial and social components. The stages of the methodology for assessing the level of economic security of the dairy industry in Ukraine, as well as its ranges, are determined. Trends and external threats can be identified on the basis of an assessment, which will allow the enterprise to adapt and develop appropriate measures.Conclusions: The scientific and methodological approach to assessing the level of economic security of the dairy industry in Ukraine has been improved. It is calculated using the method of taxonomic analysis by a posteriori parameters within the individual components (resource, commercial, social). It was stated that there is practically no inflow of investments into the country, and further reduction threatens domestic demand. All this actualizes the solution of the problem of ensuring food security not only at the industry level, but also at the country level. It also requires the development of mechanisms to support agriculture and domestic producers. It has been determined that for the economic security of an enterprise, the supersystem is the economic security ofthe industry and the country as systems of a higher rank. They go their own way of development and are its external determinants. After all, in a country and industry with a low level of economic security, even a successful (at the beginning) enterprise will face bankruptcy if nothing changes in the surrounding meso- and macro-environment.

Objective: To understand which strategies were adopted by municipalities to achieve COVID-19 vaccination coverage in children.
Methods: Qualitative intervention study conducted by the Vaccination Studies and Research Center of the UFMG School of Nursing, in collaboration with the State Department of Health of Minas Gerais. Participation of 212 municipalities in the study with a decreasing trend in vaccination coverage rates in children under two years of age.
Eight workshops were held to prepare the action plan to combat low vaccination coverage rates. The workshops were audio recorded and transcribed, and the material was analyzed in three steps.
Results: The content analysis of the workshops highlighted three categories: “Intersectoral actions used by municipalities as a strategy to achieve COVID-19 vaccination coverage among children”; “Continuing education actions for healthcare staff” and “Reorganization of work processes in vaccination rooms”. In the first category, coordinated actions with social services, education, spaces for political debate and other agents were described. In the second, continuing education actions both with the nursing team working in vaccination rooms and with professionals providing care to children and adolescents were mentioned. In the third category, the difficulties of working in vaccination rooms were highlighted, explaining the need to reorganize and optimize work in this location.
Conclusion: COVID-19 vaccination in children has been a major challenge for managers, epidemiological surveillance coordinators, nurses and nursing technicians in the vaccination room. Despite the efforts of health
teams, it was not possible to achieve the vaccination coverage target, which shows the complexity of the vaccination scenario and the need to join forces from different sectors to increase the coverage in children’s population.

Applying the common european framework of reference to teaching specialized translation
Authors: Strilets Valentyna
Published: February 2024

The article analyses descriptors of written mediation proficiency levels and corresponding strategies presented in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment – Companion volume, as well as assesses their applicability to teaching specialized translation to prospective Bachelors of Philology. The B2 – C2 level proficiency descriptors of such types of written mediation as translating a written text in writing (full translation), relaying specific information in writing (fragmentary translation), processing text in writing (summary and abstract translation) can serve a basis for formulating corresponding descriptors of specialized translation proficiency levels for 3d – 4th – year Bachelor’s degree Philology students. These descriptors should be modified with regard to field-specific text genres and supplemented with professional translation skills of applying translation techniques and IT tools. Descriptors of English into Ukrainian and Ukrainian into English translation as well as those of summary and abstract translation should be differentiated. The examined strategies – strategies to explain a new concept (adapting language, breaking down complicated information), strategies to simplify a text (amplifying a dense text, streamlining a text) – which partly correlate with translation techniques and transformations are appropriate for developing sets of tasks and exercises in translation subjects, in particular, Translation and Interpreting Practice. Their choice depends on translation brief requirements: aim, text genre, degree of formality / specialization, degree of target text compression, target audience. Making these modifications is the subject of further research.
Practical training of future translators in Germany
Authors: Tarasenko Rostyslav , Amelina Svitlana , Hunmin Van
Published: February 2024

The paper deals with the analysis of the system of training of rural youth in colleges of the People's Republic of China. It is established that there are several government strategies and programmes to eliminate the inequality between access to education for graduates of urban and rural schools, in particular, the introduction of the National College Entrance Test, increased funding for educational needs in rural areas, and support for the creation of new colleges. It is noted that the role of polytechnic colleges in the system of vocational education is growing. It is determined that one of the leading trends is the reorientation of young people from academic to vocational education. General (academic) and vocational education coexist as two parallel areas, which does not exclude the possibility of switching from one area of training to another at different levels. Institutions providing vocational education in China mainly fall into two categories. One is public academic vocational education institutions, ranging from low to high level, such as technical schools (vocational high schools), junior vocational colleges, and undergraduate vocational universities. Students are admitted to such institutions through a selection exam, and upon graduation receive a state certificate of completion of the relevant level. At the same time, students also receive a certificate of professional qualification by passing a relevant exam during their studies at the educational institution. The other type is non-academic vocational education and training, such as training courses. Only a certificate of learning experience is issued upon completion of the learning tasks, and these certificates are not legally binding. In the People's Republic of China, several government policies and programmes are being implemented to address the inequality between access to education for urban and rural school leavers. One of them is the introduction of the National College Entrance Test. Vocational education plays an extremely important role in this process, as well as in the fight against poverty. Polytechnic colleges provide rural youth with the opportunity to receive an education, focusing on the development of professional skills. After graduation, the graduates have better chances of finding a job, and thus employment becomes an effective means of poverty alleviation.
The philosophy of V. Lisovoy in the context of discussions around the “Kyiv world-view and philosophical school”
Authors: Bonchuk Roman
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the Ukrainian realities of the second half of the 20th century, which are important for the revival of the collective memory of Ukrainians through the prism of the life path and the philosophical views of V. Lisovoy. The main attention is focused on the idea conceptualized in the writings of V. Tabachkovsky about the birth and development in the 60s and 80s of the 20th centuries in Kyiv of an original intellectual center – the “Kyiv worldview and anthropological school”. This pretentious, according to V. Lisovoy, definition caused a lively discussion on the pages of the “Krytika” magazine, to which V. Lisovoy also joined. As a direct witness of the events of the times of “stagnation” and the European intellectual level the philosopher, in contrast to a number of his contemporaries, V. Lisovoy made an attempt to consider the Ukrainian philosophy of the 60s-80s of the 20th century in the context of the methodological assets of the Western intellectual thought of that time. This approach allowed the Ukrainian scientist to refute the belief formed in the 90s of the 20th centuries about the existence and active development of the “Kiev school of worldview and philosophy” in the second half of the 20th century, thereby laying the foundations for rethinking the intellectual heritage of that time. This type of intelligence makes it possible to clarify, and in some cases to construct a clear idea of a certain community about itself, its culture, and with it its place and mission in the world, thereby uniting communities around the achievement of a certain goal.

Published: February 2024

The article is researched the role of media discourse in the coverage of military conflicts in the philosophical dimension of modernity. The attitude of social groups towards military actions often depends on how these events are presented by the media. The discourse on war should only be considered at an interdisciplinary level. We get this opportunity thanks to the critical analysis of the discourse, which embodied and expanded the research credo about the sociality and psychology of human language, formulated in the middle of the 21-th century.
Peace through the prism of civilizations: Approaches, interactions and crisesк
Authors: Kichkiruk Tetiana , Haluk M.V.
Published: February 2024

The term "civilization" emerged in Europe only at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries, but over time, it has been used in diverse approaches that seem contradictory. Initially denoting the opposite of barbarism and a certain level of societal development, it transformed into a global concept unifying various cultures. Among the characteristics of such a global civilization, one can highlight the vector of development and prioritization of values outlined by French philosophers: freedom, rights, and justice. Scholars commonly synonymize and contrast "civilization" and "culture" in their interpretations. In seemingly different approaches by Immanuel Kant and Oswald Spengler, civilization appears as something external, constant, and mechanical against the living, dynamic culture. The approach of local civilizations, represented by scholars like N. Danilevsky, Oswald Spengler, Arnold J. Toynbee, S. F. Huntington, etc., remains popular and debatable. It reflects the peculiarities of individual cultures, their interactions, factors, and the cycle of development. The article suggests departing from the usual opposition and synthesizing the global and local approaches to civilization, where global civilization is not cultural unification but a space of cultural interactions with common, universal values. By comprehensively examining the crises faced by society at each of these levels, the interrelatedness of these levels can be traced, revealing factors influencing international security that are not apparent for local problem-solving. In the second part of the work, the context of the history of the Orthodox civilization is provided, emphasizing the importance of a thorough and comprehensive study of the formation of state civilization identity to understand local civilization and its core.

The emphasis is placed on the formation of an inclusive culture in the field of social work, aimed at ensuring equal participation and accessibility of social services. The research identifies prospects for the development of methodology, practical aspects, educational programs, and technologies in inclusive social work. The overall goal of the work is to highlight the importance of inclusion in social work for the construction of a just and humane society.
POLAND DAILY
Authors: Mazierska Ewa
Published: February 2024

Like many Eastern European countries, Poland has seen a succession of divergent economic and political regimes over the last century, from prewar “embedded liberalism,” through the state socialism of the Soviet era, to the present neoliberal moment. Its cinema has been inflected by these changing historical circumstances, both mirroring and resisting them. This volume is the first to analyze the entirety of the nation’s film history—from the reemergence of an independent Poland in 1918 to the present day—through the lenses of political economy and social class, showing how Polish cinema documented ordinary life while bearing the hallmarks of specific ideologies.
AFTER DIFFERENCE
Authors: Heywood Paolo
Published: February 2024

Queer activism and anthropology are both fundamentally concerned with the concept of difference. Yet they are so in fundamentally different ways. The Italian queer activists in this book value difference as something that must be produced, in opposition to the identity politics they find around them. Conversely, anthropologists find difference in the world around them, and seek to produce an identity between anthropological theory and the ethnographic material it elucidates. This book describes problems faced by an activist "politics of difference," and issues concerning the identity of anthropological reflection itself—connecting two conceptions of difference whilst simultaneously holding them apart.
SCREENING ART
Authors: Allan Seán
Published: February 2024

With internationalist aspirations and wide-ranging historical perspectives, East German films about artists and their work became hotly contested spaces in which filmmakers could look beyond the GDR and debate the impact of contemporary cultural policy on the reception of their pre-war cultural heritage. Spanning newsreels, documentaries, and feature films, Screening Art is the first full-length investigation into a genre that has been largely overlooked in studies of DEFA, the state-owned Eastern German film studio. As it shows, “artist-films” played an essential role in the development of new paradigms of socialist art in postwar Europe.
AMBIGUOUS CHILDHOODS
Authors: Clemensen Clemensen
Published: February 2024

Growing up with social and economic upheaval in the peripheries of global neoliberalism, children in rural Zambia are presented with diverging social and moral protocols across homes, classrooms, church halls, and the streets. Mostly unmonitored by adults, they explore the ambiguities of adult life in playful interactions with their siblings and kin across gender and age. Drawing on rich linguistic-ethnographic details of such interactions combined with observations of school and household procedures, the author provides a rare insight into the lives, voices, and learning paths of children in a rural African setting.
NOURISHING THE NATION
Authors: Johannes Venetia
Published: February 2024

In the early twenty-first century, nationalism has seen a surprising resurgence across the Western world. In the Catalan Autonomous Community in northeastern Spain, this resurgence has been most apparent in widespread support for Catalonia’s pro-independence movement, and the popular assertion of Catalan symbols, culture and identity in everyday life. Nourishing the Nation provides an ethnographic account of the everyday experience of national identity in Catalonia, using an essential, everyday object of consumption: food. As a crucial element of Catalan cultural life, a focus on food provides unique insight into the lived realities of Catalan nationalism, and how Catalans experience and express their national identity today.
ANTISEMITISM IN GALICIA
Authors: Buchen Tim
Published: February 2024

In the last third of the nineteenth century, the discourse on the “Jewish question” in the Habsburg crownlands of Galicia changed fundamentally, as clerical and populist politicians emerged to denounce the Jewish assimilation and citizenship. This pioneering study investigates the interaction of agitation, violence, and politics against Jews on the periphery of the Danube monarchy. In its comprehensive analysis of the functions and limitations of propaganda, rumors, and mass media, it shows just how significant antisemitism was to the politics of coexistence among Christians and Jews on the eve of the Great War.

AFTER LIBERATION
Authors: Adler H.G.
Published: February 2024

H.G. Adler (1910–1988) was one of the founding figures of Holocaust scholarship whose monumental monograph Theresienstadt 1941-1945. The Face of a Coerced Community (1955; 1960) was the first study to present a fully documented account of the Final Solution. This collection gathers together, for the first time in English, some of Adler’s most important scholarly essays on the Shoah and connected themes. Ideas raised for the first time in his book on Theresienstadt are here taken up and developed at greater length, new accents are set, and new themes are explored. Spanning his thought across three decades they focus on the fate of the ‘coerced’ human being and reflect on freedom, enslavement, terror, concentration camps, persecution, the mass society, dread, loneliness, and ideology.
COMPLIANCE
Authors: Rollason Will , Hirsch Eric
Published: February 2024

Exploring compliance from an anthropological perspective, this book offers a varied and international selection of chapters covering taxation, corporate governance, medicine, development, carbon offsetting, irregular migration and the building trade. Compliance emerges as more than the opposite of resistance: instead, it appears as a valuable heuristic approach for understanding collective life, as a means by which actors strive to accommodate themselves to others. This perspective transcends conventional distinctions between power and resistance, and offers to open up new avenues of anthropological enquiry.
ENACTED RELATIONS
Authors: Tamisari Franca
Published: February 2024

The Yolngu Indigenous people in the Northeast Arnhem Land of Australia respond to neo-colonial challenges by continuing to affirm their political autonomy and transmit ‘Yolngu Law’, which are ways of knowing and being with the younger generation. They deal with non-Indigenous institutions, through participation of bodies, language, things, images of movement and notions of mutual care, feelings and accountability. This book explores the Yolngu relational ontology and epistemology in the context of everyday practices, ritual ceremonies, bicultural education, vernacular Christianity and the production of popular music.
FIG TREES AND HUMANS

Published: February 2024

Humans and figs form hybrid communities within the context of anthropogenic landscapes, supported by biocultural mutualisms driven by traits of Ficus species and people’s imagination and practices, and where humans also positively influence Ficus species ecology. Fig Trees and Humans examines the interactions between the biology and ecology of the genus Ficus and how humans use and think of Ficus species across the tropics and in the Mediterranean region. It demonstrates a high level of convergence of material and symbolic uses of human-fig interactions that affect various aspects of human culture, as well as the ecology of wild or cultivated Ficus species.
GENDER HISTORY OF GERMAN JEWS
Authors: Schüler-Springorum Stefanie
Published: February 2024

This concise overview traces the Gender history of German-Jews from the early modern period to the present day and provides a unique perspective on both men and women as historical actors in the German lands. By adopting new perspectives on the German-Jewish experience, Stefanie Schüler-Springorum introduces and examines gender narratives and opportunities across a wide range of individual circumstances and during times of discrimination, persecution and deportation. While being directed against all Jews the effects of Nazi policy had remarkably different results, depending on gender, class, marital status, age and religious affiliation. The picture that emerges here of German Jewry in modern times is consequently more vibrant and nuanced.
Capturing genetic variability in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) germplasm, released varieties, and advanced breeding lines under heat stress environment in North Indian climatic condition

Published: February 2024

Temperatures beyond optimal level are detrimental to growth and production in chickpeas. Aiming at capturing genetic variabilityand identifying potential heat-tolerant chickpea genotype, a panel of 110 chickpea lines were evaluated in field under normal sown(non-stress) and late sown (heat-stress) environments for various phenological, yield and yield-related traits over two consecutive yearsunder field conditions. Significant genetic variability for the phenological and yield related) was recorded under both non-stress andheat-stress conditions for both years. Seed yield/plant had strong positive correlations with number of pods/plant and harvest indexunder heat stress, indicating selection of plants with high pods/plant and seed yield/plant could help develop a heat-tolerant chickpealine. Based on the yield and yield-related traits, JG74, JAKI9218, Pusa 547, GNG1958, RVG202, RSG11, RSG931, RSG10, GG2, and Pusa240genotypes were classified as promising lines under heat stress environment. The identified diverse heat-tolerant genotypes may beused as a potential source in chickpea breeding programme for enhancing heat tolerance and useful genetic variability.

Published: February 2024

An investigation was carried out to understand the nature and magnitude of gene action in 28 F1 hybrids of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under timely (E1) and late sown (E2) conditions. The analysis of variance revealed a considerable amount of genetic variability among the materials under study in both environments. The significant difference of general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) variances indicated that both additive and non-additive gene action played an important role in the genetic control of all the traits under both E1 and E2 conditions. The study identified CSJ-515 and HC-5 as the best combiners for seed yield and it contributing traits under both environments, whereas Avrodhi in timely sown and CSJD-884 and RSG 963 under late sown conditions. Significantly higher specific combining ability, heterosis, and heterobeltiosis were recorded in the crosses, CSJD 884 x RSG 963, CSJD 884 x RSG 973, CSJD 884 x Avrodhi, RSG 963 x CSJ 515 in both the environment, while CSJD 884 x RSG 963 and RSG 973 x Avrodhi in late sown conditions. The identified F1 hybrids may be suitable for the improvement of grain yield in chickpeas for specific environments.

Generally, conventional practices take a long time to improve agronomic traits in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). However, biotechnological tools provide the best opportunity to enhance crop potential within a limited time. A simple and repeatable protocol for wheat regeneration is the priority for transforming the genetic makeup of elite wheat cultivars. Among 10 types of callus induction media (CIM), CIM4 with supplemented Murashige and Skoog (MS) media+ dicamba (2 mg/l) has 98.22 and 97.33% callus induction efficiency (CIE) in immature and mature scutellum, respectively. Precocious germination, considered a key barrier during callus induction, was fully controlled by excising the embryonic axis. Among 29 different shoot induction media (SIM) assessed in the study, SIM 29 containing zeatin 5 mg/l, 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) 5 mg/l, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) 0.25 mg/l,1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) 0.25 mg/l, and copper sulfate (CuSO4) 20 mg/l was found most responsive for shoot induction. The combined effect of cytokinin and CuSO4 resulted in an improved wheat regeneration response in two popular Indian wheat varieties, namely HD2967 and HD3171. Rooting was observed at 100% using IAA and IBA @ 0.2 mg/l concentration in root induction media (RIM). The whole in-vitro regeneration protocol from embryo to transfer in the greenhouse took 8 to 9 weeks. The in-vitro regeneration protocol developed in the present study could further be utilized to improve the genetic makeup of elite wheat cultivars utilizing genetic engineering tools.

The present study was aimed to evaluate the G x E (genotype x environment) interaction using AMMI and GGE biplot analysis to identify sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) genotypes that combine high yield and stability in multi-location trials. Twelve advanced clones generated in the sugarcane breeding programs along with three standards (Co 86032, CoC 671 and Co 09004) were evaluated for cane and sugar yield using randomized complete block design with three replicates over two plant crops and one ratoon during 2019 to 2021 across two years and locations. Data was collected on yield traits and sugar quality characters. Stability parameters were determined. The data was also investigated using GGE biplot and the AMMI models. The results of combined analyses of variance exhibited significant differences among genotypes at the three test environments and when locations were combined. The GE interaction was also significant for all the traits, indicating inconsistency of performance of the genotypes over the locations and seasons. Pooled data analysis of 15 genotypes indicated the superiority of Co 15017 and CoN 15071 for CCS yield across six environments. Two clones, Co 15017 and CoSnk 15102 recorded higher mean cane yield as compared with three standards across the six experimental conditions. Multivariate (AMMI and GGE biplot) statistical analysis indicated that CoSnk 15102 exhibited higher and more stable commercial cane sugar yield and cane yield per hectare, indicating this genotype’s suitability across the test locations. The results of such multi-environmental trials with the elucidation of GE interaction using AMMI and GGE are of great significance in guiding the selection and recommendation of stable and superior varieties in sugarcane production zones.

The study aimed to improve cotton genotypes by developing early maturity and compact plant architecture traits for suitability to high density planting and mechanical harvesting. Ten F1 populations from five cotton genotypes of Indian origin were developed using a half-diallel mating and evaluated in two seasons (kharif, 2022, and Summer, 2023). Results indicated significant genetic variation for all the studied traits, enabling selection and improvement. Combining ability effects interacted significantly with environments. The mean performance of genotypes differed significantly (p ≤0.05), with hybrids outperforming parental genotypes, exhibiting shorter stature and early maturity. The parents, TVH002, and C017 were the best combiners indicated in the hybrids, TVH002 × CO17, and TVH002 × Suraksha for compact plant architecture traits. Non-additive gene action prevailed, as specific combining ability (sca) variances surpassed general combining ability (gca) variances for most studied traits. Genetic components, ratios and heritability revealed that both additive and dominant genes governed the traits, with dominance having a greater influence. Compact architecture traits negatively correlated with seed cotton yield within the 75 to <120 cm height range, resulting in a more stable yield. These findings offer valuable insights for targeted breeding programs aiming to develop compact cultivars with enhanced traits for mechanization and high density cotton plating.

Traditional small potato cultivars of North Eastern region of India are an important food source, but no documentation is availableregarding their ploidy level and nutritional worth. The study was undertaken to explore these cultivars to determine their ploidy levelby flow cytometry method. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) based method was used for the analysis of ploidy level and theknown diploid potato clone Solanum chacoense was used as the reference clone. The ploidy level of these cultivars was determined bycomparing the value of mean peak position of G1 of reference diploid clone with mean peak position of G1 of small potato cultivars.Results indicated that all the 11 small potato cultivars collected from the Northeastern region were tetraploid with an average genomesize of 837.38 Mb although they were suspected to be diploid based on the tuber characters and overall plant morphology. Thesecultivars were characterized by having anthocyanin pigmentation of newly emerged sprouts and eye on tuber, small and narrow leaf,long stolon length (average 7.38 cm) and high number (average 33.90/plant) of very small (average 7.41 g) tubers compared to thecommercial potato varieties. However, these cultivars surpassed India’s commercial tetraploid potato varieties for dry matter, starch,ascorbic acid, β-carotene and total phenol contents. Appreciably rich nutritional profile coupled with matching levels of ploidy not onlyenhanced the biodiversity of cultivated potato but also suggested the possibility of utilizing these cultivars in the breeding programmeto enhance nutrient and antioxidant contents.

Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millspaugh) is mainly grown in the rainfed ecosystem during the monsoon season on deep vertisols, and it often faces transient waterlogging problems due to continuous and heavy downpours during early monsoon seasons. Thus, waterlogging has become a significant issue in most of the pigeonpea growing areas of the semi-arid tropics due to heavy rain during the initial crop growth stage, which causes 30 to 40% economic yield loss in India and around the world. Only a few sources of waterlogging tolerant genotypes are available in pigeonpea but are not in the required duration. Hence, the present investigation was carried out to identify waterlogging tolerant pigeonpea genotypes in different durations suitable for different agroecologies of India and to find ideal selection indices as appropriate strategies to identify waterlogging tolerant genotypes. In this study, 162 genotypes were screened under in vitro conditions for 2, 4, 6, and 8 days by submerging seeds. Of these, 33 genotypes could survive for eight days. Further, following a standard screening protocol; these 33 pigeonpea genotypes were screened under pot culture for two years (2020 and 2021). Based on different morpho-physiological parameters and waterlogging tolerant coefficient, genotypes ICP-10397, ICP-7507, ICP-7869, ICP-7148, ICP-4903 ICP-16309, ICP-7375, ICP-6815, ICP-7507, and ICP-6128 were identified as tolerant to transient waterlogging. In addition, this study reports the existence of substantial genetic variation for waterlogging tolerant traits in pigeonpea. Stress indices, such as stress tolerance index) (STI), mean relative performance (MRP) and relative efficiency index (REI) were identified as the ideal selection index. Therefore, identified genotypes are further validated and can be deployed in waterlogging tolerance pigeonpea breeding programs

Fifty-four superior minicore collections were crossed with maldandi based male sterile line (M31-2A) to study restoration patterns andto classify maintainer (B) and restorer (R) lines. Of 54 mini core collections, only one came out as a strong restorer (IS 19450), 12 partialrestorers and 41 maintainers. Further, these 13 partial restorers (12 partial restorers and 1 strong restorer) and 41 maintainers alongwith M35-1 were subjected to diversity analysis for eleven characters. A total of 55 genotypes were clustered into seven clusters. Outof which, cluster–I and cluster-II had 34 and 16 genotypes, respectively, and five were solitary clusters having single genotypes. Thehighest inter-cluster distance was noted between cluster-VI and VII followed by cluster V and VI, and cluster-II and VII, indicating ample diversity available among them. Therefore, the genotypes of these clusters can be used as parents for crossing in the hybridization program to obtain desirable and excellent segregants. However, divergent maintainers against the strong restorer (IS 19450) can be used for the development of maldandi based hybrids.

Evaluation and validation of 358 Indian-origin and exotic inbred lines of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) was done over two years toidentify trait-specific inbreds with desirable agronomical features for genetic improvement. The analysis of variance exhibited significant differences among the genotypes for most of the agronomic traits studied, which favor selection. Positive correlations were recorded among the various characters in the improvement of seed yield, particularly for plant height, head diameter, and 100 seed weight. Cluster analysis grouped 163 inbreds under Cluster V, which included genotypes with medium maturity, high oil content and good yielding ability. The clustering pattern indicated the association between geographic diversity and genetic diversity. The first principal component accounted for 75% of the total variation in the population. The most important trait that contributed more to the variation in PC1 was plant height (0.989), followed by the number of leaves per plant (0.113). The second principal component accounted for 87% of the total variation and was positively associated with days to 50% flowering (0.674) and days to maturity (0.654), whereas it was negatively associated with seed yield per plant (-0312). Several trait-specific inbred lines were identified using multivariate analysis that may serve as potential breeding material/parental lines for effective utilization in the heterosis breeding programme for developing agronomically superior heterotic sunflower hybrids.
