ICTs, as is evident from the post-COVID-19 situation, have become a major facilitator in the dissemination of quality educational content for various institutions. Yet, the effectiveness of the ICT tools concerning the various dimensions needs to be studied to gain fruitful insight into the determinants of effectiveness of ICT tools. For this purpose, an ex post facto study taking into purview the situation, was undertaken for the 179 academic research scholars in two state agricultural universities namely Dr. PDKV, Akola in Maharashtra and IGKV, Raipur. A novel ICT effectiveness index was developed following the Principal Components analysis approach. The results revealed that readability of content (4.454), ease of handling ICT tools (4.317) and communication skills of the presenter (3.941) were the major determinants of the effectiveness of ICT tools. Further 39.65 per cent and 32.96 per cent of the research scholars perceived the effectiveness of ICT tools to be “very high” and “high” respectively. Most scholars perceived the effectiveness to be very high in terms of content quality (50.84%) followed by 45.81% (in terms of communication efficacy). Thus, overall effectiveness was high but efforts can be made towards improvement of presentation quality which was perceived to be high by 43.02 per cent which was comparatively lower against the other two components of effectiveness.

Ensuring sustainability in production relies significantly on the provision of accurate information at the appropriate time and location. The information seeking behaviour can significantly influence the decision making and adoption process. It is imperative to acquire an understanding of farmers’ information-seeking behavior, as it plays a crucial role in restructuring existing agricultural information systems and formulating novel models. Keeping this in view, a study was conducted among 120 okra growing homesteads of Kollam district in Kerala. The main focus of the study was to identify the adoption and information seeking behaviour of okra growers in the homesteads. Scientific practices for okra cultivation were enlisted and ranked separately based on the adoption score. The results showed that commonly adopted scientific cultivation practices in okra crop were soaking of seeds in water for 24 hours for ensuring better germination, application of recommended dose of farmyard manure as basal dose and varieties released from Kerala Agricultural University. The findings also pointed that majority of the respondents had medium to high level information seeking behaviour. Among various sources, majority of the growers preferred informal sources more than other formal sources. In case of mass media sources, highest dependency was noticed for newspapers and television.

Farm women play a vital role in agricultural production and rural development, contributing significantly to both on-farm and off-farm activities. The present study was conducted in Bharuch district. Among each district two talukas Jambusar and Jhagadia were selected. From each taluka, six villages were selected and from each village 10 respondents were selected. Thus, total 120 respondents were selected. The study was aimed to highlight the profile of farm women involved in dairy occupation and to find out the constraints faced by farm women and seek their suggestions to overcome the constraints. The present study revealed that more than half of the respondents were in middle age group and were participating in dairy and agriculture occupation. Less than half of the respondents were having higher school education, membership in more than one organization, semi medium size of land holding and high level of knowledge about dairy occupation. Majority of respondents were having annual income above ₹ 1, 00,000, medium herd size, medium mass media exposure and medium level risk orientation. More than one third of the respondents were found in large size family group. Three variables namely age, occupation and herd size were accounting influences on the participation of farm women in dairy occupation. Major constraints faced by farm women were as milk rate is not proper followed by high cost of animal feed and concentrate and preparation of milk product is uneconomic. Major suggestions given were animal feed and concentrate should be available in the market at reasonable rate followed by government should give subsidy for preparation of milk product and milk rate should be remunerative.

In the changing of world economy, Indian farmers have to compete with farmers of developed countries whose socio-economic conditions are much better. The higher extent of adoption regarding scientific dairy husbandry practices can improve production and income level of dairy farmers. Looking into this, the study was carried out in Anand district on extent of adoption of 200 dairy farmers about scientific dairy husbandry practices. Majority (78.00 per cent) of dairy farmers’ had overall medium extent of adoption regarding scientific dairy husbandry practices. Majority of dairy farmers had high extent of adoption regarding breeding practices (59.50 per cent), medium extent of adoption regarding feeding practices (73.00 per cent), medium extent of adoption regarding health care practices (79.50 per cent) and medium extent of adoption regarding management practices (70.00 per cent). Highest adoption observed in breeding practices with mean per cent score 85.75 in study area. Out of twelve independent variables seven variables had positive and highly significant correlation with the extent of adoption of dairy farmers regarding scientific dairy husbandry practices.

Agriculture faces a range of complex and interconnected challenges that impact its sustainability, productivity, and resilience. Farmers, often working on the frontlines of these challenges, are uniquely positioned to develop and implement innovative solutions tailored to their specific environments and needs. These innovations range from advanced crop management techniques and sustainable pest control methods to cutting-edge technology for precision farming and resource conservation. Farmers’ innovativeness refers to their ability to generate, adapt, and implement new ideas, methods, and technologies in agriculture. It is important to know the factors determining farmers innovativeness to nurture it and to provide a congenial atmosphere to innovate further. This paper focussed on studying farmers innovativeness by using expostfacto research design with a sample of 30 experts. Of the five dimensions, Conceptual competencies were ranked first (0.32), followed by Learning competencies (0.29) and Strategic competencies (0.26). Major indicators across the dimensions were proactiveness (0.115), inquisitiveness (0.106), persuasive ability (0.103), profit orientation (0.100) and social networking (0.064). To validate the judgments given by the experts, inconsistency ratio was also calculated for all the indicators, and it was below 10% indicating the consistent judgements. Hence, these indicators may be employed to nurtured farmers innovativeness.

Published: January 2025

The idea that Kampung Inggris, Pare, Kediri's English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers employed translanguaging activities as a strategy to help students perform better in speaking classes. This study investigated the views of teachers and students toward the use of translanguaging in the classroom. The study's primary focus was on the teacher's and student’s knowledge and experiences with translanguaging in EFL classroom interactions. The study involved two participants, an English language program student and a teacher from Kampung Inggris, Pare, Kediri. The words spoken during the teacher and student interviews were described qualitatively through depth interviews and observation. The findings indicated that although the EFL teacher had no prior knowledge of translanguaging, she had nonetheless employed it in the teaching and learning process. As a result, student’s understood what translanguaging was. Both of them think they know a lot about the translanguaging process. In line with them, translanguaging is the use of both Indonesian, Javaness and English in an ELT classroom—creates a secure environment for student engagement, enhances and promotes student's comprehension of the course material, and acts as an approach for information transfer. In ELT classes, teachers of English as a foreign language are already skilled at applying translanguaging techniques. Students who asked and responded to questions received rewards, in addition to the use of translation to facilitate students' understanding of new materials or themes. As English is spoken less frequently than Indonesian, it will also be harder for students to meet their learning objectives for speaking English

Biological Age and Second Language Acquisition (SLA) overtime : A Literature Review.
Authors: Arenas Aitor
Published: January 2025

The issue of the influence of biological/chronological age on Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has been long studied in academia. This theoretical review paper addresses the evolution of this issue over the decades, specially addressing the reality of foreign language learning contexts and older adult learners, which have been studied to a lesser extent overtime. The early perspectives supported the existence of a special or critical period that would favor language learning before puberty. Since then, this theory has partially been supported in certain contexts in which learning a language at an earlier age has been found to be more advantageous. However, learning at later ages has not been found to be impossible. In general terms, the academic consensus seems to state that the Critical Period Hypothesis (CPH) would mainly be applicable to the phonological/phonetic domain. The consensus also tends to state that an adult can be a successful learner of a second language as long as certain aspects are present. For instance, by having good learning motivation/affectivity and an appropriate learning context. Moreover, adults would benefit from formal language learning classrooms because of their higher cognitive maturity and complexity. These findings suggest that older age does not seem to be an impediment for possible successful second language learning. At the same time, it is argued that learning a new language as an adult and senior can have positive effects for the learner in the cognitive and social domains, provided that the specificities of this age range are
considered. Finally, new research regarding senior second language learning is deemed necessary.

Psikologi sebagai ilmu pengetahuan mempelajari perilaku manusia dan proses mental, dengan menekankan kemampuan sosial seperti komunikasi verbal, relasi interpersonal, dan pemahaman terhadap orang lain. Menurut teori John Holland, pria lebih cenderung berada pada tipe kepribadian Realistik, Investigatif, dan Enterprising, yang dicirikan oleh sifat agresif, kurang sosial, dan maskulin. Pada Fakultas Psikologi Universitas X di Bandung, jumlah mahasiswa laki-laki hanya sekitar 20% di setiap angkatan. Banyak dari mereka memilih fakultas ini karena akreditasi unggul. Namun, minat berperan penting dalam menentukan pilihan karier dan masih banyak mahasiswa pria yang bingung menentukan pekerjaan yang sesuai dengan minat mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif untuk menggambarkan status fenomena secara objektif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 30 mahasiswa yang diteliti, 14 orang memiliki kesesuaian antara minat karier berdasarkan tes Holland dengan pilihan karier pribadi mereka. Sementara itu, 16 mahasiswa lainnya belum menemukan kesesuaian antara minat dan bidang pekerjaan yang tepat. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa masih kurang menggali informasi tentang pilihan karier dan pemahaman terhadap minat pribadi. Lingkungan dan eksplorasi diri menjadi faktor penting dalam membantu mahasiswa mengidentifikasi karier yang sesuai dengan kepribadian dan minat mereka

Published: January 2025

Unpolitischer Staatsbeamter oder politischer Akteur hinter den Kulissen? Eine biographische Studie zum ersten Staatssekretär des Bundesinnenministeriums. Als erster Staatssekretär des Bundesinnenministeriums blieb Hans Ritter von Lex (1893-1970) stets ein Mann der zweiten Reihe. Dennoch gestaltete er wie kaum ein anderer den Aufbau eines der wichtigsten Ministerien der Bundesrepublik mit. In zahllosen Sachbereichen insbesondere der Personal- und Sicherheitspolitik gab Ritter von Lex Richtlinien vor und setzte wichtige Akzente. Wer war der Mann, der bis heute als einer der zentralen politischen Strippenzieher hinter den Kulissen der frühen Bundesrepublik gilt? Welche Erfahrungen und Prägungen beeinflussten sein Handeln? Irina Stange erforscht seinen Werdegang vom späten Kaiserreich bis in die 1960er Jahre. Sie geht dem Entlastungskonstrukt des unpolitischen Beamten auf den Grund und setzt sich mit der Staatswohlorientierung eines Vertreters der konservativen Beamtenschaft auseinander. Zugleich wirft sie neue Schlaglichter auf die Geschichte der Bayerischen Volkspartei, für die Ritter von Lex im Reichstag saß und deren Wehrverband er leitete. Darüber hinaus untersucht Stange sein Wirken in der nationalsozialistischen Reichsverwaltung und beleuchtet die Bedeutung antikommunistischer Feindbilder für innenpolitische Konzepte und Sacharbeiten.
Maintöchter
Authors: Zinn Alexander
Published: January 2025

Zwischen Verfolgung, Liberalisierung und Aufbruch: Am Beispiel Frankfurt am Mains wird die Geschichte sexueller Minderheiten im 20. Jahrhundert erzählt. Nicht ohne Hintersinn werden die Frankfurter Homo, Trans- und Intersexuellen in diesem Buch als »Maintöchter« tituliert, waren sie doch stets Töchter und Söhne dieser Stadt. Töchter und Söhne freilich, die recht stiefmütterlich behandelt wurden. Soziale Ächtung und staatliche Repression prägten ihren Alltag, viele reagierten aber auch mit beachtlichem Eigensinn und Widerstandswillen. Somit erzählt Alexander Zinn am Beispiel Frankfurts die Geschichte sexueller Minderheiten im 20. Jahrhundert: Er beleuchtet die massive Verfolgung homosexueller Männer in der NS-Zeit, die allmähliche Liberalisierung des gesellschaftlichen Klimas in der Nachkriegszeit und der Aufbruch der neuen Lesben- und Schwulenbewegung nach der Strafrechtsreform von 1969. Dabei wird deutlich, dass es trotz staatlicher Repression immer wieder gelang, Freiräume zu erkämpfen. So gab es selbst in der NS-Zeit einschlägige Treffpunkte, seit den 1950er Jahren wurde die Mainmetropole sogar als ein Eldorado der Homo- und Transsexuellenszene wahrgenommen. Die städtischen Behörden reagierten mit Kontrollen und Auflagen, duldeten die subkulturellen Nischen ansonsten aber. Für die »Betroffenen« erwies sich die Situation als ambivalent: Viele genossen die kleinen Freiheiten, nicht wenige zerbrachen aber auch an gesellschaftlicher Ablehnung und Isolation.
Thermal Conductance of Nanofluids and Effective Mechanisms: A Review
Authors: Begum Elcioglu Elif
Published: January 2025

Nanofluids, as combinations of nanoparticles, base fluids, and other optional additives, are innovative materials for thermal engineering. Nanofluids potential comes mainly from their enhanced and tuneable thermal conductivities, which, in turn, result in important advantages in heat transfer applications. It is critically important to understand how nanofluids thermal conductivity can be tuned and improved as necessitated by the application, in order for the potential of nanofluids can be realized at a large scale. There has been a significant debate on whether the thermal conductivity improvement with nanofluids has explicable and quantifiable physical/chemical mechanism so that optimal thermal nanofluids and nanofluids for extreme thermal conditions could be developed. So far, no universal mechanism has shone out as being responsible for thermal conductivity increases, and further, such increases have ceased to be sustainable. In this chapter, a systematic literature review on nanofluids thermal conductivity is provided by focusing on nanofluids (component type, particle morphology, concentration, etc.) and process parameters (temperature, ultrasonication). The mechanisms that may contribute to nanofluids thermal conductivity improvement are summarized. The chapter intends to provide the common and uncommon trends and results from experimental and theoretical research and present an overview of thermal nanofluids effective mechanisms.
Perspective Chapter: Evaluation Models in Physical Education in Portugal
Authors: Santos Jorge , Batista Marco , Rebelo Miguel , Serrano João , Petrica João , Honório Samuel
Published: January 2025

Evaluation in physical education encompasses three stages: initial, formative and summative. The initial assessment diagnoses the level of knowledge and skills of students and can be identified as a starting point. Formative assessment is continuous and occurs throughout the teaching–learning process, providing constant feedback and allowing adjustments in teaching to better meet students’ needs. Summative assessment (final evaluation) occurs at the end of a stage, with the aim of measuring progress and acquisition of skills throughout the process. They not only measure students’ performance but also guide the development of their physical and cognitive capabilities in a more efficient and personalized context.

Restoring the Juridical Image: 'Apologia' for 'Ex Corde Ecclesiae'
Authors: Blaney Joseph R. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

Image restoration theory is used to discover that Holy Cross Father James Tunstead BurthchaeWs defense of the Papal Apostolic Constitution Ex Corde Ecclesiae was ineffective. Although he used attacks on accusers appropriately, his strategies of denial and transcendence were in conflict. He also failed to adequately address the accusation that the nature of American college charters make the American bishops' application of the document impossible. Finally, though perhaps through no fault of his own, he was ''preaching to the choir," The study sheds further light on the role of transcendence in religious image repair.

This essay explores the correspondence of Teunis van den Hoek to argue that he used letters to create an immigrant identity as he grappled with the exigencies and tensions between his Calvinist beliefs and his burgeoning wealth. Research suggests that identity or who we are among others involves the recognition and articulation of change as well as the construction of a language of self acceptance. As such, this is a rhetorical process, manifested in immigrant correspondence, which exemplifies traditional discourse negotiating nontraditional contexts. Thus, in the effort to effect and justify self transformation, these letters create agency for Van den Hoek, and enable him to frame his identity according to his will.
Edward Said’s Archive
Authors: Davis Benjamin P. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2025

In order to consider the history of varying relationships between Marxism and post-colonial theory, the author examines sources from Edward Said’s archive housed at Columbia University’s Rare Book & Manuscript Library. He considers patterns wherein academic institutions in the Global North archive collections from or about the Global South. Thus, this essay investigates questions of history, responsibility, and coloniality in material collection, access, and distribution. But beyond this formal abstract, the essay proceeds in a decidedly personal tone. That is, the author situates himself as a participant in these relationships, patterns, and questions.
Non tantum… sed… A Note on an Easily Misunderstood Grammatical Construction in Duns Scotus
Authors: Novák Lukáš ,   University of South Bohemia
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this paper is to propose and defend what I take to be the correct reading of the phrase non tantum… sed… as it is used by Duns Scotus. I identify two possible interpretations of the phrase — the Additive Interpretation and the Intensive Interpretation — and argue that the latter is correct. Then I analyse three occurrences of this construction in Scotus’s writing and show how misinterpreting it will lead and, in two of these cases, actually has lead to an erroneous understanding of a crucial passage in Scotus.
Impact of Institutional Quality and Research and Development (R&D) on Agricultural Productivity in Low-and Middle-Income Countries
Authors: Tovilode Agossou Justin , Moon Wanki
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the impact of institutions and public agricultural Research and Development (R&D) on agricultural productivity in low- and middle-income countries. The paper employs panel data with fixed-effects models, spanning 12 years and including 49 low-and middle-income countries. Agricultural productivity is measured by cereal yield, while institutional factors are assessed through four key indicators: judicial independence, property rights protection, contract enforcement, and impartial public administration. Public agricultural R&D investments serve as the measure for agricultural R&D. The findings show that property rights protection positively influences agricultural productivity, whereas legal contract enforcement has a negative impact across these countries. Additionally, public agricultural R&D significantly and positively affect productivity in Asia and the LAC regions, but not in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Dialogue between Islam and the West: Challenges and Strategies for Coexistence
Authors: Klaina Mekki
Published: January 2025

Coexistence among nations and peoples cannot be achieved in a context of isolation and avoidance of dialogue with others, whether at the individual, group, institutional, or state level. Dialogue helps to bridge perspectives and remove misunderstandings. While some speak of a "clash of civilizations," this notion arises from certain entrenched mindsets. A better approach would be to advocate for a "dialogue of civilizations," especially in a world fraught with violence and the collapse of traditional governance systems. Dialogue is vital, as it is a means of bringing peoples closer together. It is beneficial to understand the West's perspective on the Islamic world, as understanding the other's stance is essential. It is equally important to allow the other to know you, rather than forming prejudiced judgments that can lead to misunderstandings, potentially escalating to violence and war. This war could have been avoided if both parties had listened to each other and engaged in dialogue. This leads us to explore the reasons behind the existing tension and suggest practical means and a working strategy to bridge gaps between peoples. This study uses a descriptive and analytical approach to the current situation and history, based on facts and documents. The research findings indicate that the existing differences between the Islamic and Western worlds are due to negative perceptions of each other. Therefore, this study identifies several means to achieve coexistence, such as educational curricula, promoting the values of dialogue and acceptance of the other, avoiding double standards, and working on institutionalized dialogue.
Retreatability of Endosequence® BCS™ Hiflow Utilizing Both Chloroform and An Aqueous Solution
Authors: Elmejdoubi Dijana , E. Lallier Thomas , Cameron Masyn , McMullen Albert F.
Published: January 2025

Purpose: When RCT fails, retreatment of the case usually requires removal of the previous root canal fill (RCF). The aim of our
research was to evaluate the retreatability of a root canal initially filled with gutta percha and EndoSequence® BCS™ HiFlow
utilizing chloroform followed by 18% HCl, 18% HCl alone, chloroform alone or saline solution.
Methods: 40 extracted single canal teeth were decoronated and obturated utilizing a single cone gutta percha technique and
Endosequence BCS, stored one week in an incubator, and then we attempted to remove the previous RCF. Teeth were divided in 4
different groups (n=10). Canals were then cleaned using heat, rotary instruments, hand files and specific solutions. Group
A - cleaned by using only saline solution, Group B - cleaned by using only chloroform solution, Group C - cleaned by using only
18% HCl solution, and Group D - cleaned by using chloroform + 18% HCl. Image J software was used to evaluate and quantify
the amount of obturation material left in the canal after cleaning of the canals.
Results: The pairwise comparison showed no significant difference between chloroform used alone and 18% HCl used alone (P =
0.82). However, chloroform + 18%HCl treatment showed a significant difference between chloroform alone (P = 0.026), 18% HCl
alone (P = 0.021), and saline alone (0.003).
Conclusion: The result of this study indicates that chloroform followed by 18% HCl was superior in removing the previous RCF
Compared to the individual solutions used alone in canals filled with gutta-percha and BCS. However, regardless of the solution
used, patency could be achieved.

La incidencia de la alimentación y la actividad física son de relevancia en toda la población, especialmente en los niños y jóvenes, ya que es donde se generan los hábitos como estilos de vida del adulto, por ello se plantea caracterizar los hábitos alimentarios y la actividad física en escolares de Popayán, Colombia, para lo cual se realizó una encuesta que relaciona aspectos de la identificación de los datos personales y familiares, como medidas antropométricas y finalmente preguntas del cuestionario de hábitos de vida relacionados con la alimentación y la actividad física, aplicado a una muestra total de 2826 escolares; para el análisis se realizó un análisis descriptivo mediante distribuciones de frecuencia y porcentaje con todas las variables y medidas de tendencia central y de dispersión a las variables cuantitativas. Posteriormente, se realizó el análisis inferencial, mediante la prueba no paramétrica de Kruskall Wallis y pruebas de correlación de Tau b de Kendall y Spearman. En todas las pruebas, se consideró estadísticamente significativo el valor de p≤0,05. Como resultado se encontró un alto número de escolares consumen refrescos o jugos embotellados, manifestando riesgo medio. Respecto a la actividad física, el 52,5% se la pasa casi a diario 2 horas o más viendo programas de televisión; el 46,7% afirma que a veces juega en el parque, jardín o patio con otros niños; como conclusión se evidencia que los hábitos alimentarios tienen una relación con el tiempo dedicado a la computadora y uso de videojuegos, lo cual genera riesgo en los escolares.
Nivel de dependencia hacia las redes sociales, autoestima y hábitos de vida saludable en jóvenes en formación
Authors: Frías Jorquera Andrea , Serrano García Inmaculada
Published: January 2025

Las redes sociales están teniendo un fuerte impacto en la calidad de vida de las personas, por lo que se hace necesario estudiar las variables que pueden estar afectadas por estas, como el nivel de autoestima y la satisfacción con la imagen corporal, así como las horas de sueño, la alimentación y la actividad física. Por esto, el objetivo propuesto para este estudio es conocer la relación que existe entre el nivel de autoestima y la satisfacción de la imagen corporal de adultos emergentes con las redes sociales. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 152 adultos emergentes pertenecientes a la Universidad de Granada. Se utilizaron como instrumentos la escala de “Autoestima de Rosenberg (RSES)”, la escala “Social Media Disorder (SMD)” y la escala de “Imagen Corporal Negativa”, usando para el análisis de datos el software IBM SPSS® versión 23.0. Como resultados, se ha observado que un uso abusivo de las redes sociales afecta tanto a la autoestima como a la insatisfacción con la imagen corporal de las personas, mayormente a las mujeres, debido a las comparaciones sociales que se establecen en ellas, así como se ven afectadas las horas de sueño, la alimentación y la actividad física por el desplazamiento que realizan a favor de las redes sociales.
Global boundedness in an indirect chemotaxis-consumption model with signal-dependent degenerate diffusion
Authors: Wu Chun
Published: January 2025

In this article, we consider the consumption chemotaxis system $$\displaylines{  u_t=\Delta(uv^\alpha)+au-bu^\gamma, \quad  (x,t)\in\Omega\times(0,\infty), \cr  v_t=\Delta{v}-uvw, \quad (x,t)\in\Omega\times(0,\infty),\cr  w_t=-\delta w+u, \quad (x,t)\in\Omega\times(0,\infty), }$$ on a smooth bounded domain \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n\), \(n\geq 2\)  with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, where    \(a>0\), \(b>0\), \(\gamma\ge2\), and \(\delta>0\).   We shown that for sufficiently regular initial data, the  associated initial-boundary value problem possesses global bounded classical solutions.
