Published: January 2021

Homework assignments provide a channel of communication between students and teachers especially in an EFL context where there is little exposure to English language out of the classroom context. Thus, exploring attitudes and homework features may provide teachers with useful information to know how to plan their homework assignments to improve students’ learning opportunities. This study aimed to explore both teachers’ and learners’ attitude towards homework; the difficulties faced by both teachers and learners with regard to homework as well as the assignment characteristics of English-major versus Non-English-major teachers. The study participants were 120 randomly selected adult male and female EFL learners and 81 EFL teachers. The data were collected through questionnaires and subsequent semi-structured interviews. SPSS 24 software was used to analyze the questionnaire data and interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded and categorized for further analysis. The results indicated that students had positive attitudes towards homework assignments. There was no significant difference between students’ attitude towards homework given by English Major (EM) and Non-English Major (NEM) teachers. The data showed that teachers do feel that homework is essential to students’ language development. Similarly, there was no significant difference among EM versus NEM teachers in their attitudes toward homework. The results revealed the following reasons for the difficulties that teachers and learners faced in assigning/doing homework assignments respectively. Those reasons varied from not learning the required concept, not knowing the instruction, not enjoying homework, not paying attention when homework assignments were presented, not understanding homework instruction, copying homework or cheating, the absence of related and meaningful tasks, parents’ lack of knowledge, lack of word power and grammar, to anxiety and stress of homework. The findings illustrated that there were some differences between EM and NEM teachers in terms of amount, skill area used, and degree of individualization in their homework assignments. The results of this study offer a number of pedagogical implications for teachers, curriculum developers, and institute managers.

Adipocyte dysfunction plays an important role in the obesity development. People with a body weight ~ 45% heavier than the average body weight are at risk of death two times greater than the average body weight. The use of anti-obesity drugs has many side effects, so it is necessary to find the anti-obesity drug with low toxicity. Many microbial secondary metabolites and chemically synthesized antiobesity drugs are available in the market with progressive side effects upon long term use of these medicines and drugs. Plant source antiobesity drugs are potentially sustainable safe source of treatment. This ex vivo study was conducted to determine the activity of Costusspeciosus (C.speciosus) plant extract in inhibiting triglycerides and cholesterol synthesis in HepG2 cells. Anti-obesity activity includes reduced formation of lipid droplet in HepG2 cells. The triglyceride levels and Lipolytic activity by measuring cholesterol levels was performed based on commercially available kits. This study suggested that the extract of C.speciosus inhibited triglycerides and cholesterol synthesis in HepG2 cell lines with inhibition of 89.25% and 52.01% respectively at the highest concentrations tested. This study confirms that the C.speciosus extract contain anti-adipogenesis activity and has potential to inhibit the synthesis of triglycerides and cholesterol in HepG2 cell.

PERFORMANCE OF UPLAND NERICA AND NON -NERICA RICE ENOTYPES IN MULTI-ENVIRONMENT YIELD TRIALS AS ANALYSED USING GGEBIPLOT MODEL
Authors: Tariku Sewagegne , Lakew Tadesse
Published: January 2021

Ten upland New Rice for Africa (NERICA) and three upland non-NERICA rice genotypes were evaluated at three locations of six environments in north western Ethiopia from 2009 to 2011 to identify stable and high yielding genotypes and mega environments. Randomized complete block design with three replications was used.  GGE biplot methodology was used for graphically display of yield data. The combined analysis of variance revealed that environment (E) accounted for 32.2% of the total variation while G and GEI captured 20.3% and 21.1%, respectively. The first 2 principal components (PC1 and PC2) were used to create a 2-dimensional GGE biplot and explained 56.9 % and 20.6% of GGE sum of squares (SS), respectively. Genotypic PC1 scores >0 detected the adaptable and/or higher-yielding genotypes, while PC1 scores <0 discriminated the non-adaptable and/or lower-yielding ones. Unlike genotypic PC1 scores, near-zero PC2 scores identified stable genotypes, whereas absolute larger PC2 scores detected the unstable ones. On the other hand, environmental PC1 scores were related to non-crossover type GEIs and the PC2 scores to the crossover type. Among the tested genotypes 3, 2, 11, 13, 8 were found to be desirable in terms of higher yielding ability and stability in descending order. Based on GGEbiplot analysis, the test environments were classified in to three mega-environments. Mega -1  included environment  WO-1 (Woreta) with  genotype 9 as  a winner; Mega-2 constituted  environments such as  WO-3 and WO-5 (Woreta)  with  genotype 2 as a winner  and  Mega-3 contained  environments including  PA-2,PA-6(Pawe)  and ME-7(Metema) with  genotype 8 as winner. However, it is not justifiable to consider two mega-environments within one specified area. So that mega environments 1 and 2 should be treated as one. The result of this study can be used as a driving force for the national rice breeding program to design breeding strategy that can address the request of different stakeholders for improved varieties. Among the tested genotypes in this study, three candidate genotypes (2, 3 and 8) were selected and verified considering their better performance. Of which, genotype 2 has been officially released for large scale production with the common name ‘’NERICA-12’’.

Published: January 2021

Productivity in agricultural enterprises is mainly achieved by increasing the productivity of seed, fertilizer, pesticide, labor and mechanization inputs. The aim of this study was to determine the productivity of the use of mechanization which has a significant share and limitation in production costs. For this purpose, in Karapınar, Çumra and Altınekin districts, which have 24% of the mechanization equipment used in the province of Konya, work was carried out. According to stratified random sampling method, 107 agricultural enterprises were interviewed. As a result of the surveys conducted with these enterprises, demographic and capital structures of the enterprises were examined, and annual activity results were calculated. According to the results of the annual activities, the land, labor and capital efficiency of the enterprises were calculated and the productivity of all three production factors increased in parallel with the growth of the enterprise scale. In order to determine the mechanization utilization productivity, which is the main purpose of the study, tractor draw force, working hours, age and usage costs were calculated. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the mechanization productivity increased as the scale of the enterprise grew and the use of mechanization of the enterprises having land of 200 decares and above was in European standards. According to this result, it has been determined that the choice of tractor suitable for land and enterprise scale should be made. For this reason, a machine park model has been proposed to facilitate the utilization of new technologies.

Authors: TÜFEKÇİ Senem , ÖZKAL Sami Gökhan
Published: January 2021

In this study, the effects of ultrasound pretreatment on hot air drying and rehydration characteristics and microstructure changes of apple slices were examined. Slices of apple cv. Granny Smith having 5 mm thickness were used as the material. Pretreatments with ultrasound application were done by an ultrasonic generator with 20 kHz frequency. Effect of pretreatment time (10, 20, 30 min) and amplitude (55 and 100 %) were evaluated. Drying experiments were performed in a cabinet drier at 60°C with 0.3 m.s-1 constant air velocity. Application of ultrasound pretreatment decreased the drying time of apple slices in some conditions. Amongst the five thin layer drying models tested, the Page and Modified Page models found to be the best fitting models for the expression of the drying of apple slices. Microstructural changes caused by ultrasound pretreatment enhanced the rehydration ability of dried apples. As the pretreatment time and ultrasound amplitude increased, the rehydration ratio had an increasing trend. Peleg model represented the rehydration kinetics of the samples successfully. Changes in the microstructure of the apple samples caused by the ultrasound pretreatment were clearly observed with scanning electron microscopy images. Structural changes, caused by ultrasound pretreatment in apple tissues, resulted in low shrinkage values.

Tuz stresi (50 mM NaCl) altındaki mısır (Zea mays L.) genotipinde (ADA9510) eksojen askorbik asit uygulamasının temel antioksidan enzimler, fotosentetik pigment miktarı, hidrojen peroksit ve malondialdehit üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Tuz stresi klorofil a, klorofil b, toplam klorofil ve toplam karotenoid miktarı ile süperoksit dismutaz, askorbat peroksidaz ve glutatyon redüktaz aktivitesini azaltmıştır. Ancak malondialdehit ve hidrojen peroksit miktarını artırmıştır. Bu sonuçlar tuz stresinin mısır yapraklarında oksidatif strese ve fotosentetik pigmentlerin parçalanmasına neden olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak eksojen askorbik asit uygulaması klorofil a ve toplam klorofil miktarını artırmış, antioksidan enzimlerin aktivitelerini, malondialdehit ve hidrojen peroksit miktarını azaltmıştır. Bu değişimler eksojen olarak uygulanan askorbik asidin oksidatif stresle direkt olarak etkileşime girdiğini göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, eksojen askorbik asit uygulamasının tuz stresi altındaki mısır bitkilerinde tuz toleransını geliştirdiği söylenebilir.

Totally, 1.5 million fungal species estimated, of which less than 10 percent have been described to date. Recent advances in molecular biology as well as gene sequencing technologies facilitate the discovery and identification of new species in various groups of living organisms, especially fungi. Morphological methods do not have efficiency for the identification of fungal species, so, using new techniques based on DNA data has been considered in the rapid and accurate fungal species identification. DNA Barcoding is a new technique with several years’ backgrounds for detecting fungi and fungal like organisms. The Internal Transcribed Spacer in ribosomal RNA gene (ITS-rDNA) has been considered as a suitable barcode sequence. The efficacy of this region’s sequence data in most fungal groups has led to its use as a standard barcode by different mycologists. However, the ITS-rDNA region appears to be used as the primary barcode sequence for fungi of the genus or species group. The accurate species-specific identification is performed depending on the fungal group based on secondary barcodes. Due to the pleomorphic nature of fungi, the use of DNA barcoding is of importance. To date, hundreds of thousands of reference barcode sequences have been created for thousands of species of living organisms through DNA barcoding projects. The subsequent efforts of scientists are managing and automation of DNA barcoding in order to speed up the identification process.

Agriculture is one of the leading branches of the economy in the Republic of Bashkortostan (Russia). Long-term agricultural use of land with the use of plowing led to a decrease in the thickness of humus-accumulation horizon of soils, reduction of organic matter and nutrients. There is also deterioration of water-physical properties, development of water and wind erosion, and decrease in yield. Recently, the use of soil-saving farming systems has started, including the use of No-Till soil tillage system. The paper presents the results of assessment of physical properties of agrochernozems in conditions of No-Till use. Such physical properties as bulk density, humidity, temperature, structural and aggregate composition were studied using methods and instruments adopted in soil science. It is shown that in the top layer of soil (0-20 cm) is the accumulation of soil moisture, but the capillary and total water capacity is lower than that in nature soil. At the same time, in cultivated soils faced to the No-Till system the values of bulk density were increased as well as ranges of resistance to penetration. This fact, porbalby was caused the impact of activity of heavy agricultural machinery. The declining of soil density can be reached by cultivation of sideral cultures and perennial grasses.

This study was performed to examine the effects of different concentrations of magnetic nano-chitosan (MNC) and nano-Fe3O4 (NF) on the growth and yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. 'Negin'). The sizes of nano-particles were in the range of 20 nm to 50 nm, and their concentrations ranged between 10 to 100 mg L-1. The experiment was designed with nine treatments of MNC (10, 25, 50 and 100 mg L-1), NF (10, 25, 50 and 100 mg L-1) and one control treatment (iron chelate; IC: 60 mg L-1). The results showed that the foliar application of MNC and NF could improve yield and plant growth in cucumber, as well as iron chelate. The results of the present study suggest that the foliar application of nano-fertilizers similar to iron chelate could improve the plant growth and yield of the greenhouse cucumber. As regards toxicity of iron chelates, especially in high doses in the soil, the application of MNC may be safer in sustainable agriculture and even could be better than NF, because it has the combined effects of magnetism, chitosan and being nano-size.

There are many factors, which negatively affect plant development. One of these factors is lead (Pb), which causes toxic effects on plants during the seedling period. Mycorrhizas (AMF) contribute positively to plant growth. In eggplant seedlings, it has been researched whether to tolerate the negative effects of lead with mycorrhizas. In the study, Gigaspora margarita (Gm) and Glomus intraradices (Gi) mycorrhizal races were applied before seeds were sown. After the first true leaves appeared, 5 different doses of Pb (0, 100, 200, 400 and 800 ppm) were given. As a result, the earliest true leaf appearance time, the widest cotyledon and longest cotyledon, were taken from Gm application. In terms of other seedling development parameters, the highest values were obtained from Gm-0 ppm Pb application. In addition, it was observed that the control 0 and 100 Pb ppm applications received high values. As expected, due to the toxic effect of lead, no plants could be obtained in Control-800 ppm Pb application. However, the plants continued to develop by tolerating the toxic effect of lead in Gm-800 ppm and Gi-800 ppm applications especially. The other criteria that we examined were the intake of important nutrients N, P, K and Ca with mycorrhizal even in high-dose lead conditions. It was observed that the lead was taken into the plant by mycorrhizal. Lead content in the root was more than the lead content in the shoot. In general, it was seen that low Pb dose in Gi application can be partially tolerable for seedling growth and nutrient content.

Managing the spatial development of the Russian economy: Goals and tools
Authors: Bukhvald Evgeny
Published: January 2021

The article substantiates the modern interpretation of spatial regulation of the economy. It determines the priorities and practical tools for managing spatial development, including the task of overcoming economic differentiation of Russian regions. The paper reveals the distinguishing features of spatial regulation policy in the context of the transition to the system of strategic planning. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study embraces the growth poles theory, the theory of new economic geography and the theoretical provisions of the Russian school of productive forces distribution, which made it possible to integrate the ideas of planned development of territories and market mechanisms of spatial self-regulation. Among the main research methods are economic-legal analysis and generalization. The system of regional development indicators constitutes the empirical basis of the study. The research results contain recommendations to clarify the provisions of the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation. In particular, the assessment of the economic differentiation of Russian regions, as well as its target values for the future should be added to the Strategy. We suggest classifying the types of federal constituent territories as objects of the state policy on regional development based on their economic characteristics. Moreover, it is expedient to overcome the current duality in the interpretation of the meso-level of strategic planning, and to design a state program for supporting towns through identification of specific needs of each type of settlement. The study also proposes to harmonize the legislation on strategic planning and on the fundamentals of the state policy on regional development with respect to priorities of economic equalization of regions, the emphasis on the federation subjects’ self-development, etc.
