El impulso que ha tenido el uso de dispositivos móviles ha cambiado en gran parte la vida del ser humano, si bien se puede mencionar que, la creación de la rueda fue un parteaguas en la civilización, de la misma manera el contacto tecnológico con todas las áreas de la existencia ha cambiado costumbres. Es cuestionable que la vida en el aula de clases no haya dado ese paso para mejorar la relación del uso de la tecnología como parte cotidiana del aprendizaje en todos lados, y aún más discutible que en algunas aulas los dispositivos estén prohibidos, hasta cierto punto se puede comprender esta medida porque, la tecnología ha avanzado tan rápido que aún no se ha logrado establecer el tiempo idóneo del uso de los dispositivos y el tiempo que las personas deben usarlo tanto para fines lúdicos como para su educación autónoma o guiada. En ese aspecto hay poco control por parte de todos. El estudiante debe saber que existen muchas herramientas que le permitirán aprender aquellas cuestiones que le interesan y que le servirán para realizar un trabajo y que este le dé un sustento, está en manos de los profesores ofrecer esa guía, para ello se requiere de práctica. En el presente año se han invitado a la plantilla de docentes de una preparatoria de la Universidad Autónoma de Campeche a utilizar la herramienta de la Suite de Google Classroom, la presente investigación demuestra el grado de uso de la herramienta de Google Classroom. Esto determinará algunas de las competencias que dichos docentes tienen y su facilidad para el uso de la herramienta con el apoyo de un trabajo colegiado de profesores de la Universidad Autónoma de Campeche, quienes, al recibir una capacitación adecuada, usan la tecnología a través de aulas virtuales. Este ejercicio de investigación muestra los avances que la Universidad Autónoma de Campeche realiza junto con el personal académico para la implementación de tecnología para una enseñanza significativa.
Path Dependence in Energy System and Ecological Footprint in Pakistan: Evidence from Time Series Data
Authors: Ann Abre-Rehmat Qurat-ul- , Noreen Sana
Published: August 2022

Path dependence refers to the consumption of fossil fuels in energy production system. This study empirically examines the effect of path dependence in energy systems on ecological footprint of Pakistan from 1981-2014. Unit root test determines the integrated order of variables, while Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag model investigates the existence of a long-run association between variables. The negative and significant speed of adjustment coefficient ensures the adjustment of the model used in long run after unexpected shocks. Fossil fuel consumption significantly increases ecological footprint in Pakistan. If fossil fuel consumption increases by 1 percent, ecological footprint rises by 2.07 percent. Increase in biocapacity increases ecological footprint by 1.1 percent. Urbanization and population density significantly decrease ecological footprint as 1 percent increase in population density decreases ecological footprint by 0.96 percent and one percent rise in urbanization reduces ecological footprint by 3.28 percent. Foreign direct investment does not show any significant association with the ecological footprint. Standard diagnostic tests support the empirical results of the study and confirm that no heteroscedasticity and serial correlation exists. The policy implication is to implement measures to diminish the usage of fossil fuels in energy systems and increased usage of alternative and renewable energy sources. This can abate the burden on environment and biocapacity of Pakistan making it feasible to reduce ecological footprint levels in Pakistan.

Published: August 2022

Efforts must be conducted to utilize all resources due to the rising vegetarian population, decreasing food supply, high cost of animal-based food sources, increasing lactose intolerant population, and health reasons. Therefore, this research aims to utilize jackfruit seeds as the ingredient of plant-based milk that is nutritious and liked by the panelists from its color, flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel through determining the exact temperature and pasteurization period during its making. This research uses the experimental methods with a factorial Randomized Block Design, in which the first factor is the pasteurization temperature (T1: 60oC, T2: 70oC, and T3: 80oC), and the second factor is the pasteurization period (L1: 1 minute; L2: 2 minutes, and L3: 3 minutes). Each treatment combination is repeated three times. The research shows that jackfruit seed milk using different temperature and pasteurization periods contains 2.32-3.25% protein, 1.02-1.18% fat, and 10.50-12.00obrix of total soluble solids. The overall result of the sensory test (color, flavor, aroma, mouthfeel) shows that the panelists like jackfruit seed milk. The utilization of jackfruit seeds in plant-based milk is one of the solutions to provide alternative beverages with nutrition contents similar to cow milk and reduce the dependency on soybean, whose price continues to rise.

Published: August 2022

Staphylococcus aureus was the first bacteria against which drug/penicillin/ was discovered and what has become that has been challenging for its drugresistant property throughout the world. Monitoring the status of S. aureus both its susceptible and drug-resistant properties is pretty important to develop optional preventive methods timely. Even though fragmented studies on the apparent prevalence of S. aureus in milk and meat have been conducted in Ethiopia, a well-organized national review on this pathogen remained scarce. A systematic review and meta-analysis of S. aureus was conducted to overview the pooled apparent prevalence in Ethiopia in a ten-year period from 2011 to 2020. PubMed and Google Scholar databases were used to search for research articles published in reputable journals. Lastly, twenty-nine research articles were selected for systematic review and meta-analysis. The forest plot pooled the apparent prevalence of S. aureus with a 95% CI. The overall pooled apparent prevalence of any detection using the random effect model was 23% (95% CI: 19–28%, p<0.001). The pooled apparent prevalence of S. aureus was highest in SNNP 39% (95% CI; 15– 63%), followed by Oromia 28% (95% CI; 18–38%). The minimal effect size was observed in Amhara regional states at 5% (95% CI; 3–7%). This review indicated that the apparent prevalence of S. aureus more or less decreased from 27.8% in 2012 to 11.4% in 2020. In conclusion, high variation and decreasing trend of the apparent prevalence across different regions was observed.
MANUSKRIP AL-MUKARRAR FĪ MĀ TAWĀTARA MIN QIRĀĀTI AL-SAB’I WA TAḤRIR

This paper examines the text of the science of qirā`at entitled al-Mukarrar fī Mā Tawātara min Qirāati al-Sab'i wa Taḥrir with a focus on the physical aspects of the text, the text, and the analysis of the context surrounding the birth of the manuscript. This research is a type of qualitative research, with the approach of codicology, textology and history of horizontal history of Muhammad Arkoun. The results show that the condition of al-Mukarrar's manuscript is quite good, complete, and all of his writings can still be read clearly. The base of the manuscript is European paper with a PROPATRIA paper stamp, and a GR (Georgius Rex) match paper stamp. The year of copying is thought to be around the early 19th century. There is information that until the end of the 20th century there was not a single qirā`at book that was taught to students in the archipelago. However, the existence of the al-Mukarrar manuscript in the midst of the intellectual relationship between Nusantara scholars and the Middle East which is increasingly solidly built, and the massive writing tradition in various Islamic boarding schools, naturally explains that prior to the 20th century, there had been teaching and learning activities regarding the science of qirā`at, which in turn led to the need to copy manuscripts in handwritten form.
MUSHKILAH AL-AḤĀDĪTH AL-DAKHĪLAH FĪ TAFSĪR AL-QUR’ĀN AL-῾AẒĪM
Authors: Mubarok Abdullah
Published: August 2022

The Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad is an inseparable relationship with the interpretation of the Qur'an. For this reason, the best product of interpretation is the interpretation of the historical interpretation method. The product of the interpretation of the Qur'an in all of the commentaries turned out to be all found to have sham interpretations, although with different percentages. The biggest problem with this discovery is that the result of interpretation is an understanding that is considered absolute truth for the reader so ignorant teaching becomes a belief that is definitely true. Dakhil in the interpretation is a serious problem that must be resolved because it is considered a barrier to the progress of Islam. Furthermore, Islam will be accused by its enemies of being a religion whose teachings are sourced from lies and superstition. Although the source of interpretation is divided into two, namely the source of the history and the interpreter's mind. This research focuses on Islamic methodology in ensuring that the sources of hadith and history as an inseparable relationship with the Qur'an, are guaranteed authentic and can be accounted for. So this study aims to unravel the problem of dakhil in interpretation that comes from hadith and history. Hadiths and narrations originating from the Prophet Muhammad, companions, tabi'in and the history of Israel have different classifications of status to be used as religious teachings. So that the interpretation of the Qur'an is not always considered as the Qur'an itself.

Published: August 2022

Planning for water needs for irrigation areas is carried out to determine the water needs for plants to grow and develop. The source of water obtained for meeting water needs comes from the Walahar Dam. The results of water demand planning can also be used to simulate cropping patterns. Cropping patterns are very helpful for farmers in determining effective and efficient planting times. Calculation of plant water needs is processed from climatological data and rainfall data, the results of which are demand discharge. Based on the results of the calculation of water requirements for plants, the average discharge requirement is 0.65 m3/second – 9.59 m3/second, while the available water or available discharge in Walahar Weir is 183.90 m3/second. So it can be concluded that the available water in Walahar Weir can meet the water needs of plants.

RECONSIDERING THE PARAMETERS OF CONSTANT ELASTICITY OF SUBSTITUTION PRODUCTION FUNCTION
Authors: ÖZKAYA Ata
Published: August 2022

This study investigates the properties of constant elasticity of substitution production function. Solving the differential equation which defines elasticity of substitution, this study exactly defines the model parameters of production function. In the literature, in previous variant models, those parameters have been widely accepted as free variables. However, this paper demonstrates that the distribution of production factors and technology (efficiency) parameters are not arbitrarily free constants, but are indeed functions of elasticity of substitution and moreover they determine the limiting behavior of factor productivities. This finding contributes to the literature by reconsidering and revising the relationship between model parameters, factor productivities and rate of growth for output of the economy. The results of this study suggest that the economic implications of limiting behavior of factor productivities are deeper than previously considered. This gives more room to designing alternative growth-enhancing policies across the world.

Examination of Astrophysical S-Factor and Non-Resonant Rates of the 64Ge(p,γ)65As Reaction
Authors: Ly Nguyen Duy , Uyen Nguyen Kim , Duy Nguyen Ngoc
Published: August 2022

The 64Ge(p,γ)65As reaction rates strongly impact the predictions of the energy generation and isotopic abundance in the rp-process in X-ray bursts. However, the rates are ambiguous at present due to the lack of experimental cross section and the uncertainty in the non-resonant reaction rates. To provide informative data for the astrophysical rates of the 64Ge(p,γ)65As reaction, we evaluate the astrophysical S factor and direct capture rates of the 64Ge(p,γ)65As reaction using the cross sections relied on the statistical theory with various mass models. The S factors at 0 energy were found to be S(0) = 7.2×105 and 1.1×106 MeV.barn for the Finite-Range Droplet Model (FRDM) and the extended Thomas-Fermi (ETFSI) mass models, respectively. These values are about 4 orders of magnitude different from the value obtained in previous study. The empirical parameters for the non-resonant-rate approximations were also deduced for the 64Ge(p,γ)65As reaction and its photodisintegration. By considering the results in this study together with those obtained in the previous work, we confirm that a strong waiting point at the 64Ge nucleus is still a doubt because of large uncertainty of the S factor and non-resonant rates. The results in this study are useful for a better understanding of the X-ray burst properties and reaction flow at 64Ge in the rp-process.

HIGHLIGHTS

Large discrepancy up to 4 orders of magnitude in the S factor at zero energy was found

The strength of the waiting point at 64Ge in the rp-process is still questionable

The astrophysical rates of the 64Ge(p,γ)65As reaction are very uncertain due to the S-factor uncertainty

The non-resonant rates of the 64Ge(p,γ)65As reaction estimated using statistical method are not significantly impacted by the FRDM and ETFSI mass models

Authors: Kiraci Ali
Published: August 2022

This letter contributes how to calculate the anomalous behavior for the damping constant (halfwidth) of the ferroelectric Tris-Sarcosine Calcium Chloride (TSSC) and its brominated compounds TSSC1−xBrx (x = 0.13, 0.42 and 0.60) from the wavenumber data of the soft modes below the phase transition temperature of TC.  The pseudospin-phonon coupled (PS) and the energy fluctuation (EF) models derived from the dynamical Ising model were used. Both PS and EF models have been used to contribute understanding the temperature dependence of the phase transition mechanism of TSSC1−xBrx. In addition, values of the activation energy for TSSC1−xBrx (x = 0, 0.13, 0.42 and 0.60) were extracted from the damping constant as calculated from both models (PS and EF). Our results indicate order-disorder type phase transition for TSSC1−xBrx.

HIGHLIGHTS

This work contributes how to calculating the critical behavior of the halfwidth for the soft Raman modes in ferroelectric TSSC1-xBrx (x = 0, 0.13, 0.42 and 0.60) liquid crystals from their observed wavenumbers data. Also, the values of the activation energy close to the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition of these crystals was deduced.

This calculation of the halfwidth and the activation energy were performed using the pseudospin-phonon coupled (PS) and the energy fluctuation (EF) models in the ferroelectric phases (T < TC) of the crystals studied here.

Distribution of Charges on a Flat Disk as the Application of Far-Ranging Mathematics
Authors: Roy Archisman , Mustafa Syed Khalid
Published: August 2022

The foremost grail of this academic indagation is to delineate a mathematical expression of the normalised charge density over a flat disk. Aiming to ensue, firstly, 2 different frameworks have been dealt with to formulate the potential distribution which allows stability of a non-uniform charge distribution. At first, a logical but mathematically toilsome integral method has been approached. Out of the unyielding territory, we reduced the expression into algebraical functions using the Bessel coefficient and Green’s theorem, eventually inferring a new mathematical equivalence. Subsequently, this paper explores beta function as a solving tool of complete elliptic integral so that the normalization of charge apportion leads to 0 gradients of potential. Finally, the article deduces an integral equation whose implicit solution brings into the required charge distribution. The write-up also encounters finding a proximate graphical illustration of the assortment following the CAS system and direction fields. Beyond the conventional approach of real analysis, it facilitates proving the convergence of an acclaimed series. Consequently, it conceives a discussion on image charges for a flat disk. Even a short view of the article’s impact on practical fields of biology and engineering sciences has been included as the denouement. So, it might be of interest to the wide-ranged audience of research scholars in both the fields of physical and mathematical sciences.

HIGHLIGHTS

Expression of potential at any arbitrary 3D space point due to uniformly charged disk

Natural unconstrained normalisation of charge density

Implicating trigonometric solution in complete elliptic integral

Proving the convergence of a bivariate divergent series

Results can be of interest to electrostatic and condensed matter physicist including mathematicians of real analysis

RICE WHEAT CROPPING SYSTEMS-CONSTRAINTS AND STRATEGIES : A REVIEW
Authors: Debangshi Udit , Ghosh Pritam
Published: August 2022

The rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) in the Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP) of South Asia with the help of Green Revolution in the early 1970’s greatly contributed to India's food self-sufficiency and livelihood of millions of peoplethus, became the country's primary source of food-grain production. However, deterioration of soil health and quality, ground water depletion, water stress, labour shortage, introduction of new weeds and pests particularly Phalaris minor, Scirpophaga incertulas and climate change have all contributed to a major production standstill and deterioration in recent years by which the sustainability of rice wheat cropping system is now at jeopardy. Traditional agronomic practices had various negative implications on the sustainability of rice wheat cropping system with the introduction of HYVs. So, a paradigm shift is required to achieve long-term productivity, sustainability and allow farmers to minimise inputs, optimise yields, enhance profitability, maintain the natural resource base and reduce risk owing to both environmental and economic issues through resource-conserving technologies (RCTs) including zero/minimaltillage, PUSA decomposer, bed planting, crop residue management, mechanical rice transplanter (MRT) and crop diversification. This article focuses some of the issues that need to be addressed in the RWCS in order to achieve the goal of increasing regional productivity and assuring food security while maximising the effective use of natural resources, enhancing rural livelihoods and aiding in poverty alleviation.

GLOBAL WATER SCARCITY DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS CONSERVATION STRATEGIES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO INDIA : A REVIEW
Authors: Mahato Anupama , Upadhyay Saurabh , Sharma Damini
Published: August 2022

The strategic importance of fresh water for global water and food security will probably intensify under climate change which worsen the situation as it leads to increased frequency and intensity of climatic extremes such as flood, drought, cyclone, heat/ cold waves, alteration in water cycle, water resources depletion, increased variability of precipitation, salt water intrusion in aquifers, increasing irrigation demand, decreasing soil moisture and rapid evaporation of surface water and many more. This review provides an insight about climate change and its impact on quantity and quality of water, water scarcity on a global scale with emphasis on Indian water resources, its availability and conservation strategies to mitigate water scarcity. Global warming resulting in climate change is expected to account for about 20% of the global increase in water scarcity. Global water consumption has increased six fold in last century and in coming decades is expected to grow rapidly. By 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, and two-thirds of the world's population could be living under water stressed conditions. African continent is the worst affected by the scarcity of water. The gross per capita water availability in India will decline from about 1820 m3 per year in 2001 to as low as about 1140 m3 per year in 2050. It is estimated that the country would need 1180 billion cubic meters (BCM) of water annually by 2050. So, there is an urgent need of sustainable utilization of water resources, formulation of climate adaption strategies, making the people and government aware about shrinking water resources as well as taking urgent action for conservation and harvesting of water at local, national and global scale.
STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF VARIOUS LEVELS OF NITROGENOUS FERTILIZER ALONG WITH SOME NITROGEN FIXING BLUE GREEN ALGAE ON SOME YIELD ATTRIBUTES OF RICE VARIETIES CV. PUSA 1509 AND PUSA SHARBATI

Published: August 2022

Nitrogen is indispensible ingredient of animal food and comes initially from plant. In fact, plant converts the nitrogen of soil in two forms suitable for nutrition of animals. After water, nitrogen is the second limiting factor for plant growth in many fields and deficiency of this element is met by fertilizers. The excessive use of chemical fertilizer has generated several environmental issues. These problems can be tackled by use of Bio-fertilizers. Bio-fertilizers are different from Chemical fertilizers. Bio -fertilizer on the application remains in soils, multiply and keep benefiting the growing crops. Blue green algae (BGA) or Cyanobacteria, the free-living photosynthetic N-fixing organism, are distributed worldwide and contribute to the soil fertility in many agricultural ecosystem. Cyanobacteria function as a Bio-fertilizer due to the property of nitrogen fixation (conversion of molecular nitrogen into nitrogen compound). The mass production of Cyanobacteria is much cheaper and easy than that of conventional chemical fertilizer and their inorganic requirement is very simple. To test the efficacy of nitrogenous fertilizer along with BGA on the yield attributes of rice, a field experiment was conducted with rice variety Pusa 1509 and Pusa sharbati. Two fields of 2.0 m into 3.0 m were prepared one without BGA as control and other with BGA. For this field experiment recommended dose of BGA is 10 kg/ ha after the transplantation of rice seedlings. Inoculates contains the mixture of Gloeocapsa, Plectonema, Oscillatoria, Anabaena, Nostoc, Cylindrospermum, Scytonema, Calothrix, Anabaenopsis, Aulosira, Eisherella etc. As compared with control tillers were seen after 80 days, food grains were thick, elongated and healthy and 10-30 percent grain yield found to be increased over control. The observation clearly indicates that the BGA can be the good option to increase the growth and crop production in Rice.
ESTIMATION OF ANTIOXIDATIVE ENZYMES IN THE TESTES AND LIVER OF THE HETEROPNEUSTES FOSSILIS EXPOSED TO PENTACHLOROPHENOL
Authors: Dubey Sunanda
Published: August 2022

Oxidative stress has become an area of significant interest for toxicological studies. Estimation of antioxidative enzymes such as Catalase (CAT), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Lipid peroxidase (LPO) and Glutathion peroxidase (GPx) have been measured in the fish exposed to 1/10 th LC50 (32µg/l) PCP for 14 and 28 days. SOD activity and CAT activity in testes and liver were found to be decreased as compared to control groups, whereas levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA) and GPx in testicular and hepatic tissue were significantly elevated as compared to control groups of catfish. Results showed oxidative stress alteration due to PCP exposure. Oxidative damage is produced in response to the exposure to environmental contaminants, by generating free radicals and altering antioxidant enzyme systems. The results of the present investigation indicate that exposure of PCP induces significant changes in the enzymatic profiles in Heteropneustis fossilis. The presence of such level of PCP in the natural environment is dangerous to the ecosystem and will definitely affect the survival of fish.

Background: The increasing children (under-five years) morbidity and mortality rates in Nigeria is worrisome. Paediatric discharge against medical advice (P-DAMA) poses a particular challenge because under-age children lack autonomous power in their health decision-making, which may complicate their health problems. This study aimed at determining the prevalence of under-five P-DAMA and also to document its associated factors in Igbinedion University Teaching Hospital, Okada, Nigeria, with a view to curbing it. Methodology: This retrospective study reviewed all the admissions- and discharge- registers, and case-notes of all the under-five admissions between 2017-2019 in the private-owned Igbinedion University Teaching Hospital, Ok ada, Nigeria. Information extracted included their socio-demographics, clinical diagnoses, hospitalization duration and rationale for DAMA. Retrieved data were analyzed using the SPSS, Version 23.0. Results: There were 99 cases of under-five P-DAMA with complete information out of a total admissions of 3816 giving an overall prevalence of 2.6%.The incidence of P-DAMA (4.0%) was highest among preschoolersaged 31-60 months who constituted 57.6% of them; and girls predominated boys at a ratio of 7:4.Majority (53.5%) were from lower socio-economic class residing mainly in rural villages (53.5%). Infectious diseases, including malaria (26.8%), diarrhea (20.1%), neonatal sepsis(13.4%) and bronchopneumonia(13.4%) were common diagnoses of these children. The mean duration of children hospitalization before DAMA was 5.2 days. Parental/guardian fear of accumulation of hospital bills (25.3%) and perceived improvement in child’s clinical condition(s)(21.2%) were the most frequent reasons adduced for DAMA. However, in 29.3% of cases, the reasons for DAMA were neither reported nor documented in the childrens’ medical records. Conclusion: Parental poverty and ignorance are major factors fuelling P-DAMA in the studied hospital. Government should adopt universal health insurance coverage policies to protect the under-five child-patients from the consequences of such irregular discharges.

Background: Surgical robots operations is an emerging technology that offers many advantages in conducting complex endoscopic procedures. However, robot-assisted inguinal hernia repair generates controversies compared to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. We evaluated the safety and efficiency of robot-assisted inguinal hernia repair compared to the laparoscopic. Methods: The Pub Med, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases was carried out to obtain studies that comparatively evaluated the efficacy, safety, and the economy between robot-assisted and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Rev man software was used to analyze the data according to random effects models. Results: Six studies, of 3246 patients were included, 1025 patients underwent robot-assisted and 2221patients underwent laparoscopic surgery. The review showed that robotic-assisted inguinal hernia may reduce the pain compared with laparoscopic, while hospitals cost was significantly higher in robotic surgery than laparoscopic. There was no significant difference between robotic and laparoscopic surgery in decreasing surgical site infection (OR=4.08, 95%CI: 0.39-43.02, P=0.24), hospital length (MD=0.03, 95%CI: 0.04-0.10, P=0.34), the incidence of hematoma (OR=1.38, 95%CI: 0.57-3.37, P=0.48), seroma (OR=1.15, 95%CI: 0.61-2.15, P=0.67), urinary retention (OR=1.42, 95%CI: 0.67-2.97, P=0.36), and complication (OR=1.158, 95%CI:0.87- 2.87, P=0.14). Conclusions: This study showed robotic-assisted inguinal hernia might reduce pain compared with the laparoscopic group but incurred higher costs. There was no significant difference between robotic and laparoscopic surgery in other efficacy and safety outcomes, which im plying that robotic surgery could be an alternative procedure to laparoscopic instead of replacement in inguinal hernia repair. More robust and high-value randomized trials are required to determine the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted inguinal hernia repair.

El uso de portainjertos de aguacate es muy común, pero éstos han sido poco estudiados desde el punto de vista anatómico y fisiológico de la hoja, variables que pueden ser útiles para entender su papel al ser injertados, como las relacionadas con los estomas y el intercambio de gases. El objetivo de esta investigación fue estudiar las características de los estomas e intercambio de gases de la lámina foliar en plántulas derivadas de semilla de aguacate ‘Colín V-33’ para determinar posibles relaciones entre estas. Se utilizaron 93 plantas derivadas de semilla de ‘Colín V-33’ de seis meses de edad. Se evaluaron cuatro variables de estomas y cinco de intercambio de gases en la hoja once de cada planta. Los estomas se clasificaron como anomocíticos, y su longitud fue de 13.11 a 19.65 µm, su densidad varió de 317.65 a 105.88 estomas·mm-2 y su índice estomático fue de 11.78 a 26.16 %. Se encontró correlación positiva significativa entre las variables fisiológicas conductancia estomática y tasa de transpiración (r = 0.96**), mientras que en la tasa de asimilación de CO2 y la concentración interna de CO2 existió una correlación negativa (r = -0.64**). No se encontró asociación entre las características de intercambio de gases y las variables relacionadas con estomas. Debido a la variación encontrada en la densidad y el índice estomático, es posible seleccionar genotipos contrastantes que podrían tener impacto en el injerto cuando sean utilizados como portainjertos, dada la evidencia de otros estudios donde hay modificaciones en dichas variables.

Published: August 2022

Cara berpikir para filsuf memiliki ciri khas tersendiri dalam melihat realitas. Dalam banyak pemikiran ini, pasti ada upaya untuk memperbaiki berbagai sistem pada saat itu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan dengan menelaah sumber-sumber kepustakaan yang diperoleh penulis. Tujuan pembahasan ini adalah untuk mengetahui apa yang terjadi dengan proyek filsafat Hans George Gadamer tentang hermeneutika. Untuk memperoleh pemahaman yang maksimal, Gadamer mengajukan empat teori: bias hermeneutik, lingkaran hermeneutik, “aku” kepada “kami” dan interpretasi dialektis. Keempat teori ini bukanlah hal baru dalam tradisi penafsiran. Hal ini karena prinsip dasar hermeneutika adalah upaya penafsiran untuk memahami teks.

Manusia sebagai makhluk sosial dengan salah satu cirinya  senantiasa berubah atau mengalami perubahan dalam berbudaya. pola perilaku yang ada dalam budaya itu cenderung untuk senantiasa berubah. Perubahan dari berbagai pola perilaku manusia itu terjadi kerena keinginan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup manusia dan kelangsungannya. Dimana kebutuhan yang mencakup baik aspek spiritual maupun aspek material senantiasa berkembang. Terjadinya hal seperti ini karena keharusan manusia untuk menyesuaikan dengan tantangan-tantangan yang di hadapinya baik yang berasal dari lingkungan sosial maupun tantangan dari alam. Di antara faktor yang mendorong dan mempengaruhi terjadinya perubahan sosial itu, baik untuk memenuhi kebutuhan aspek spiritual maupun aspek material karena adanya ketidakpuasan terhadap bidang-bidang kehidupan tertentuyang dirasakan sangat fundamental. Dalam kehidupan keagamaan yang terjadi dalam sejarah manusia, baik perubahan sosial, yang tak jarang menimbulkan konflik sosial yang bersumber dari ketidakpuasan, secara terminologis disebut dengan Revitalisasi yang dibuktikan dengan gerakan-gerakan keagamaan baik itu gerakan yang bersifat positif maupun yang negatif.
