Wheat is the third most important cereal crop of Nepal. Climatic changes have been a major threat on overall production and productivity of wheat in Nepal. With the aim of evaluating twenty elite wheat genotypes under heat stress and heat drought environments, a field experiment was conducted using alpha lattice design at Bhairahawa, Rupandehi, Nepal. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences in the yield across wheat growing environments (p<0.001). Environment explained 75.11% of the total variation in grain yield. NL 1404 was the most stable followed by NL 1368, and NL 1413. NL 1376, NL 1369. NL 1386 was the best adapted genotypes under heat stress environments whereas NL 1384, Gautam, and BL 4949 were best adapted to heat drought environments. NL 1346 was the best genotype. WWW model explained NL 1346 won under heat drought environment and NL 1384 under heat stress environment. Mean vs. stability model showed NL 1346 was the above yielder and stable genotype. In ranking, NL1179 was concluded to be the ideal genotype. From the study, NL 1368 was found to be the winning genotype under heat drought and heat stress environments. These genotypes should further be evaluated to release as a variety.

Published: December 2023

A field experiment was carried out on spring rice in the rabi season of 2022 from February 3 to July 4 with an aim to identify the most suitable spring rice cultivar in Kanchanpur, Nepal. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications and eight treatments. The treatments were eight spring rice genotypes: one released (Chaite-5), one local genotype (ChaineeAndi), and six pipeline varieties (IR17A2946, IR17A2796, IR17A2949, IR13F402, IR16A3838, and IR18A2066). A total of 24 experimental plots, each of 6m2 (3*2m), were set to the experimental design. The treatments were randomly assigned to the replications. Data were collected for various morphological characters such as plant height (cm), number of tillers (/plant), effective tillers (/m2), panicle length (cm), number of grains per panicle, sterility (%), thousand-grain weight (gm), grain yield (kg), straw yield (kg), biological yield (kg), and harvest index. Results revealed significance for all parameters except for the effective number of tillers per plant. ChaineeAndi took the least days to mature and had the highest effective tiller number per plant. Genotype IR17A2066 took the most days to flower and mature, and had greater plant height, thousand-grain weight, but low grain yield. Grains per panicle were higher in IR13F402 but lowest panicle length. Chaite-5 had the highest sterility percentage. Highest grain yield, straw yield, and harvest index was observed in genotypes IR16A3838, IR17A2946, Chaite-5, and IR17A2949. IR16A3838 performed superior than other genotypes in environmental conditions of Kanchanpur, Nepal.
Digital poetics of contemporary Ukrainian literature: specifics of the QR code
Authors: Zozulia Dmytro
Published: December 2023

In recent years, due to the constant need for quick access to virtual reality, the QR code has become one of the most important digital technologies. Today, it is actively used in various spheres of human activity, for example, the distribution of advertising or the creation of artistic works, including fiction books by Ukrainian authors. As a result, we can observe changes in the structure of classical literary genres and in the text itself. Thus, the relevance of the study lies in the need to comprehend the QR code as a new phenomenon in contemporary Ukrainian literature in the context of digimodernist poetics.

This study aims to analyze the possibilities of using QR codes in contemporary Ukrainian literature and determine what materials they are used to access in prose and poetry. The object of the study is the collection of poems “Artery” by Dmytro Lazutkin, the novels “Radio Night” by Yuri Andrukhovych, “Footprints on the Road” by Valerii Markus (Ananiev), and “Mozart 2.0” by Dorje Batuu. The subject of the study is QR codes placed in these works. The study uses comparative, intermedial, and structuralist methods of analysis.

The results of the study show that the validity of using a QR code depends on its location in the printed text, as well as on what information can be obtained by scanning it. A QR code can be printed on the front cover of a book (“Mozart 2.0” by D. Batuu), on the back cover of a book (“Radio Night” by Yu. Andrukhovych) or inside the book next to the text fragment to which it refers (“Mozart 2.0” by D. Batuu), on a page with an illustration next to a poem (“Artery” by D. Lazutkin), or as a link at the bottom of the page (“Footprints on the Road” by V. Markus). Usually, the information encoded in a QR code contains a link to a page on the Internet with additional visual, audio, or textual materials posted on it. The novelty of the research results lies in the identification of the main functions of additional materials that can be accessed after scanning a QR code in a literary work: interactive, illustrative, informative and plot-forming. Further research prospects may be related, in particular, to the analysis of the QR code as a new phenomenon in printed dramatic works, since this article has considered only prose and poetry.
Spontaneous materialism, information (memory) and man in the poetry of Pavlo Movchan
Part two
Authors: Vaskiv Mykola
Published: December 2023

The relevance of the article is due to the need to determine the philosophical basis of the worldview and poetic world of the Ukrainian literature classic of the XX–XXI centuries Pavlo Movchan (born in 1939) — ancient Greek spontaneous materialism — as the basis of universal and national memory, the continuity of history. The peculiarities of Movchan’s spontaneous materialism are the subject of research. The main problem of the article is the connection of each specific existence with the million-year history of the material world, humanity and a specific — Ukrainian — nation, reproduced in P. Movchan’s poetry, the role of this existence as a connecting link in the transfer of information (memory) from the past to the future. Cultural-historical, biographical, hermeneutic and formal (philological) research methods were used to solve this problem.

As a result of the study, the images of the four elements were traced in the poet’s lyrical works. Different forms (water — snow, rain, well, spring, reservoirs, blood, etc.; earth — soil, clay, sand, stone, salt, etc.; fire — sun, light, ray, etc.; air — wind, whirlwind, etc.) of these elements become the most important in the life of the Ukrainian peasant-farmer, and therefore also of the ethnos.

The primary elements are in constant motion, creating new things, objects, and phenomena as a synthesis of elements and their inevitable destruction. Only latent small imprints of the existence and transformations of matter in the form of energy (information) remain while reading. The preservation and the transmission of this energy to the next generations is the vocation, the purpose of a man in the world.

The poetic world and the poet’s ideological concept syncretically combine knowledge of the global and Ukrainian national origins of existence, which determine the essence of our present and future life. Man as a combination of four elements, as a part of the primordial movement of the elements, is inextricably linked with his destined space, environment. Universal and ethnic memory as another name for energy-information unites a person with time and space, makes it possible to find and realize one’s own purpose on earth.

Published: December 2023

Anti-ballistics technology's significance in safeguarding national defense and security has intensified amid rising threats and insurgencies. While prior studies have investigated advancements in anti-ballistic technologies, a noticeable gap persists in discussions involving anti-ballistics through bibliometric analysis and cutting-edge evaluations. This scarcity of research originates from the sensitivity surrounding weapon-related discourse. This article aims to bridge this gap by unveiling an exhaustive bibliometric analysis and contemporary assessment of anti-ballistics research spanning 47 years. The analysis's distinctiveness lies in its approach to addressing this research void within the anti-ballistics domain, achieved through meticulous scrutiny of existing research via bibliometric analysis techniques. The analysis was facilitated by employing Biblioshiny software integrated with RStudio and VOSviewer. Data processing encompassed keyword searches within the Scopus database, with outcomes presented in CSV format. Notably, the study's findings highlight the United States as the frontrunner in reference count and publication output within the anti-ballistics realm. The National Institute of Standards and Technology stands out with 89 articles. Furthermore, a systematic categorization of anti-ballistic materials based on their developmental applications was conducted. Temporal assessment revealed shifting research trends, transitioning from "ceramic materials" in 2016 to "nonmetallic matrix composites" in 2020, particularly for body armor applications. This endeavor involves recognizing notable contributors, categorizing diverse materials under study, and tracking research trend shifts over time. The analysis offers indispensable insights to guide diverse stakeholders' decision-making. It's noteworthy that this bibliometric analysis holds particular value for novices or those entering the field for the first time. Our study significantly enriches the anti-ballistics domain through contributions to library studies and research mapping. By presenting a comprehensive overview of anti-ballistics research trends, our analysis enhances comprehension and empowers informed decision-making for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers alike. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2023-04-03-015 Full Text: PDF
The Problematic Criticism of the Post-Truth Pro-Iraq War Discourse in Gregory Burke’s Black Watch
Authors: ÇAĞAN Güven
Published: December 2023

Changing parameters in people’s perception of truth have taken on a different dimension, especially in the last century. The consideration of a person’s emotional connection to an idea, instead of objective truths, in accepting an opinion as true has led to the emergence of the concept of post-truth. Before and during the 2003 Iraq War, politicians, opinion leaders, civilians and state institutions tried to guide people through emotional manipulation through post-truth discourses. In the field of art, this situation is criticized in the plays written about the war. For instance, Gregory Burke exposes the post-truth discourse of the military institution in his play Black Watch. The historical and contemporary figures he creates in the play mislead soldiers by talking about the virtue of fighting. The discourses they use for this purpose are generally shaped around dreams of heroism, fame, wealth and charisma. They persuade people to fight by making ostentatious promises, but the only things war brings are death and psychological destruction. Burke vividly depicts the dangers the soldiers face in Iraq and the disappointments they experience upon returning home. However, he also criticizes the military institution for its pro-war post-truth narratives by utilizing a post-truth discourse himself. Since he takes an anti-war stance, he is not objective in his depictions and narratives. Due to this contradiction, the playwright’s criticism has a self-contradictory structure. Based on this argument, this article first analyses how the post-truth discourse of the military institution is revealed in the play, and then how the counter-arguments are similarly imposed by the playwright, and claims that the writer’s challenge with post-truth is problematic.

Published: December 2023

How will the US-China competition reshape the regional order in Northeast Asia? This study analyzes scenarios of US-China competition, focusing on military and economic variables, and examines their implications for regional order. Economic interdependence and military deterrence are means of US-China competition. The balance of military deterrence will be the foremost factor defining the economic relationship between the US and China and neighboring countries. Under the condition of maintaining a deterrent balance, (1) if interdependence continues, competitive interdependence will be formed, but (2) the US or Chinese camp system can be structured along with decoupling. On the other hand, if the deterrent balance collapses, (3) conflictual readjustment of mutual dependence is inevitable, but (4) with decoupling, a Chinese sphere of influence may be formed. The scenario of the end state of the US-China competition provides two implications for Korea's national strategy as a middle country. A security strategy that contributes to the deterrence balance between the US and China is a key task for maintaining an uncomfortable peace. And in order to manage an interdependent system where competition and cooperation coexist, it is necessary to seek the role of a cooperation with in-between powers.
International Relations of Critical and Emerging Technologies: U.S.-ROK Cooperation on Next Generation Network Infrastructure and Artificial Intelligence
Authors:   Institute of East and West Studies Yonsei University, Yoo In Tae
Published: December 2023

Why do states cooperate on emerging and critical technologies? The existing studies tend to focus on technological competition between great powers, such as the United States and China, drawing on securitization or perspectives of realism. This research, however, sheds light on why states cooperate on such high-tech areas and argues that states seek technological innovation in order to ensure the national security and industrial competitiveness, and such innovation is more likely to be promoted through the international division of labor that accompanies specialization and standardization across cooperating states. International high-tech cooperation also often involves mechanisms that are conducive to thwarting the technological development of adversaries. The plausibility case study examines incipient US-ROK cooperation initiatives in high-tech areas, such as next generation networks and artificial intelligence technologies. This research makes the theoretical contribution to the field, simultaneously urging policymakers to ponder why they have to cooperate and what to aim in their high-tech cooperation strategy.
An Analysis on Factors Affecting Trade-off between Defense and Health Expenditure with Emerging Securitization of Health Threat : Focusing on Six Countries’ in the Asia-Pacific Region
Authors:   Institute of East and West Studies Yonsei University, Kang Yumin , Park Seong-yong
Published: December 2023

This study analyzes statistically and empirically whether the emergence of health issues around the world is able to lead to notable change in military security. With the emergence of the concept of human security and rapid increase of health threat around the world after the Post-Cold War, There has been a number of arguments that the significance of military security based on the realist theory would be devalued by the proliferating health security agenda. In particular, there is a traditional perspective within the government expenditure named “guns and butter” theory, a trade-off relationship between defense and welfare, which refers that an increase of spending in an area inevitably leads to a decrease in another area with limited tax revenue. In this context, this study estimates the effect of changes in the proportion of health expenditure on the proportion of defense expenditure by conducting regression analysis for all countries from 2000 to 2019, utilizing the PCSE model. As a result, it was found that a trade-off appeared in countries with low economic development level and military manpower, while there is a positive correlation between both spending in case of having high values. Based on this result, the study conducted an empirical review of six countries of the Asia-Pacific region to determine whether the moderating effect is significant at the individual country level. In this analysis, it turned out that the income level and the number of active military manpower indicates a significant moderating effect. In this regard, the research implies that the level of economic development and the military manpower structure are the factors that would change the relationship between the both expenditures. Throughout the analysis, It suggests that there is compatibility between health and military security concepts as well as that changes in military or economic factors exceed non-traditional security issues in the compilation of a military budget. Ultimately, this study implies it is impossible to grasp the mutual competitiveness in the “gun and butter” debate and it is revealed that the gun overwhelms the butter. Additionally, This accentuates that the suitability of realism is still valid in spite of the emergence of the new security concept.

This study aims to determine the yield potential of several third-generation (M3) black rice mutant strains resulting from mutation induction. The experiment was conducted in a paddy field located in Saribaye Village, Lingsar District, West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, from March to November 2022. The experimental design used was a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with nine rice genotypes as treatments, repeated three times. These consisted of seven mutant strains of black rice and two controls, namely the Baas Selem and Inpago Unram varieties. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance at a significance level of 5%. In case of significant differences among treatments, further analysis was conducted using the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a significance level of 5%. Based on the research findings, two genotypes of third-generation black rice mutants (M3) resulting from mutation induction were identified. These genotypes, namely D3G46(13) with a yield potential of 5.64 tons/ha and D3G62(19) with a yield potential of 5.84 tons/ha, exhibited higher yield potential compared to their parental strains. However, both of these genotypes have not yet achieved or surpassed the yield potential of the control treatment, which is the Inpago Unram with a yield potential of 8.17 tons/ha.

A Case of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis Resulted from the Treatment of Chronic Eczema
Authors: Zhou Mi mi , Hong Jianbo , Chen Yue
Published: December 2023

This was an advanced male (87-year-old) with refractory chronic eczema for over 40 years, based on his allergic constitution, accompanied with chronic kidney disease due to primary hypertension (CKD, phase 3). It was so diffi cult to tolerate the severe itching that the glucocorticoids (GC) had to be applied to it, but some new-onset respiratory symptoms, such as cough, dyspnea after exertion etc., occurred to this patient. Some classical IPA images were found on his pulmonary CT scanning, which were further comfirmed by the positive findings of GM-test, and then a final diagnosis of IPA was accordingly established. Unfortunately, a persistent fever emerged after starting an antifungal therapy to the patient, and his IL-2 level was detected to be superhigh. As a response to allergic fever, GC was carefully given intravenously again to treat it, and it turned out to be totally improved since then; suggesting that systemic thinking (integrated with the other clinical evidences) is essential to diagnose IPA, and GC can also be used to improve its symptoms with the existence of antifungal therapy.

Published: December 2023

Recent changes in the labor market and higher education sector have made graduates' employability a priority for researchers, governments, and employers in developed and emerging nations. There is, however, still a dearth of study about whether graduate students acquire the employability skills that businesses want of them because of their higher education. To determine a student's future employment and career path, it is critical to evaluate their soft skills. An emerging area called educational data mining (EDM) aims to gather enormous volumes of academic data produced and maintained by educational institutions and to derive explicit and specific information from it. This paper aims to predict students' soft skills such as professional, analytical, linguistic, communication, and ethical skills, based on their socio-economic, academic, and institutional data by leveraging data mining methods and machine learning techniques. All five soft skills were predicted using prediction models created using linear regression, probabilistic neural networks, and simple regression tree techniques. This study used a dataset from an open source that Universidad Technologica de Bolivar published. It covers academic, social, and economic data for 12,411 students. The experimental results demonstrated that the linear regression algorithm performed better than the others in predicting all five soft skills compared to machine learning methods. This finding can assist higher education institutions in making informed decisions, providing tailored support, enhancing student success and employability, and continuously modifying their programs to meet the needs of students.
