Authors: I Putu Gita Ardiana  , I Nyoman Rai  , I Wayan Wiraatmaja
Published: February 2023

Crystal guava is a type of guava that has a variety of superiority compared to other types of guava so that this type of guava has a fairly high economic value. Just like other fruits, guava is a horticultural commodity that is prone to damage during storage. The purpose of this study was to determine the best level of fruit maturity and storage temperature to maintain the physical and chemical properties of Crystal guava fruit during storage. This research used split plot randomized block design with two factors and three replications. The main factor was storage temperature consist of three levels, i.e., room temperature (Sr), air conditioner refrigerated temperature (Sa), and refrigerator temperature (Sk). An additional factor was the maturity level of the fruit based on the color of the fruit when it is harvested which consists of three levels, i.e., fruit with green skin (Wh), fruit with light green skin (Wm), and fruit with yellowish green skin (Wk). The results showed that refrigerator temperature provided the best physicochemical properties with the lowest increase weight loss and the lowest decrease fruit water content. In additional factors, the maturity level of light green gives the best physicochemical properties with the lowest increase weight loss and the lowest decrease fruit water content.

Authors: William K Mwebeya
Published: February 2023

Background: Cervical cancer is a global public health problem. Risky behaviors, lack of knowledge and preventative measures in reproductive age women, increase the risks of cervical cancer later in life. Up to date, there is scarcity of study on level of knowledge and perception towards cervical cancer among reproductive age women in Tanzania. So, this study was aimed to determine the level of knowledge and perception toward cervical cancer among reproductive age female attending Gynaecological Clinic at Tumbi Referral Regional Hospital, Tanzania. Method: A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted using self-administered questionnaire among reproductive age female attending Tumbi Referral Regional Hospital, Tanzania in July2018. The questionnaire included specific sections to test the participant′s knowledge and perception related to cervical cancer. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics. Results: One hundred and eighteen (85.5%) of the study participants had knowledge of cervical cancer. Of the participants, 93(67.4%) knew HPV as cause of cervical cancer but only 107 (77.5%) had knowledge on mode of transmission of cervical cancer, 84(60.9%) of the study participants had knowledge of symptoms of cervical cancer, only 47(34.1%) knew multiple sexual partners is a risk factor of cervical cancer and 53(38.4%) knew prevention method is to avoid multiple sexual partners. 135(97.8%) perceived screening helps in prevention of cervical cancer. Conclusions: The level of knowledge towards cervical cancer and perception of acquiring the disease was good. Health education interventions are needed to improve the awareness and health seeking behavior in women thereby preventing cervical cancer related morbidity and mortality.
Medidas de apoyo frente a la crisis energética y al repunte de la inflación: un análisis del coste y de los efectos distribucionales de algunas de las actuaciones desplegadas según su grado de focalización
Authors: García Miralles Esteban
Published: February 2023

Motivación

A lo largo de los últimos meses se han implementado diferentes medidas de política económica para apoyar a hogares y empresas frente al repunte de los precios. En cualquier coyuntura, pero más aún en una caracterizada por la existencia de desequilibrios fiscales, resulta fundamental analizar el diseño de estas medidas, así como su impacto distributivo y presupuestario.

Ideas principales

•La mayor parte de las medidas fiscales adoptadas en España en los últimos trimestres para hacerfrente a la crisis energética y al repunte de los precios tendrían un carácter eminentemente generalizado,en lugar de estar focalizadas en los hogares o las empresas más vulnerables.

•Se estima que las rebajas del IVA de los alimentos, así como de la electricidad y del gas, suponen unmayor ahorro como porcentaje de su gasto total para los hogares de renta baja, mientras que labonificación a los carburantes habría beneficiado en mayor medida a los hogares de renta alta.

•Medidas alternativas, focalizadas en los hogares vulnerables en función de su renta, podrían lograrniveles de protección similares a los alcanzados con las medidas ya desplegadas, pero con un menorcoste presupuestario y evitando distorsiones en las señales de precios.

Published: February 2023

To investigate the effects of Rural Land Tenure Plans (RLTP) on rural communities of Ouesse District, in the central part of Benin, an impact evaluation study was carried out. The methodological approach was based on the Double Difference (DD) method. Data was collected from 329 people distributed in 27 villages of Ouesse according to an appropriate territorial sampling based on specific criteria. A comparative analysis of these villages highlighted the impacts of RLTP on local communities. It results from this study that the implementation of the RLTP has partially met most of the local community’s expectations. In fact, the RLTP has contributed to reduce drastically settlement conflicts in all the beneficiary localities. In addition, land right clarification in some villages such as Kokoro, AgboroKombon, Agboro-Idouya, Botti-Houègbo has increased. The RLTP implementation has contributed also to facilitate land conflicts management, access to agricultural credit in Gbanlin’s vllage, access to agricultural land, and increasing the market value of land in villages such as Tosso, Gbanlin, Vossa, Toui-Center, Botti-Hougbo and Kokoro. However, the RLTP implementation has let profound discordance between allochthones and autochthones people.
A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF THE ‘XRF’ ANALYSIS OF LEAD CONTAMINATED SOIL AND SEQUENTIAL EXTRACTION BASED ON T-TEST.
Authors: Luigi Piga , O Adewole
Published: February 2023

A statistical analysis and hypothesis testing was carried out on the randomly selected samples from experimental results of  the ‘XRF’ analysis and sequential extraction of soils contaminated with lead using lead nitrate of known amount. Looking at our previous experimental results, we found that the concentration of the solid contaminated samples: OL S 1-2, & OL S 3-2 ( 2,080.26, & 2,080.41mg/kg) respectively in that order are very close to the concentration of lead also obtained using the ‘XRF’ analysis for the liquid solutions obtained from the sequential extraction procedures of soil samples: ‘OL S 1-2, & 32 as ( 2,110mg/kg, & 2,090mg/kg) respectively in that order. An hypothesis testing was conducted within the underlying assumptions based on the null hypothesis and our claim for equal means.  The p-value found was greater than the α-value, and also corroborating this fact, the t-statistics calculated absolute value is less than the critical value at the 5% significant level  as presented and shown in our table of results.  We can quite well agree from our previous results findings, and corroborated by the findings of the statistical testing, we can confident agree the results from the ‘XRF’ are reliable enough, without any need to do the sequential extraction for obtaining the concentrations.

Published: February 2023

This study was carried out by identifying and selecting three soil types around the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria to determine their physicochemical properties. Drip Irrigation is considered as one of the most efficient irrigation systems, provided the system is designed to meet the soil and plant condition. Information on wetting patterns under point source drip emitters is a prerequisite for the design and operation of the drip systems.  This is to ensure precise placement of water and fertilizer in the active root zone. The objective of this study was to develop models that can help to determine the wetting radius (r), wetting depth (z) from surface point drip irrigation of three soil types (clay loam, sandy loam and sandy clay loam). Water was applied to each soil type using drip irrigation set up at a constant flow rate of 1.3 l/hr. The maximum duration of water application was 10 hrs. At intervals of 30 minutes, there was excavation to monitor the wetted radius and depth. The field data was subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS version 22.0 to formulate the models that relates the duration, flow rate, volume and hydraulic properties to wetted radius and depth. Results show that lateral water movement was highest in the clay loam while vertical movement was highest in sandy loam. The highest wetted depth in clay loam, sandy loam and sandy clay loam were 17, 26, and 25 cm while the wetted radius were 26, 24, and 22 cm, respectively. Models for the three soil types were developed, the R2 values for the three soils were between 0.7and0.9 which are close to 1. The ANOVA shows that the models were statistically significant as the P values are less than 0.05.  The results obtained showed that the wetted depth and wetted radius of these soil types are influenced by the flow rate, duration and volume of water application within the range under consideration and can fit into irrigation of vegetable crops.

Seasonal food shortage is amongst the principal problems of farmers in mid-altitude areas of Southern Ethiopia. Taro and sweet potato are important part of food security packages in some of the world’s poorest nations. Taro is grown over a wide range of environments from 1,300-2,300m.a.s.l.; mostly by the resource poor farmers and the drought area. Its compatibility with various types of limited in put farming systems (versatility) and reliability under conditions such as drought, high rain fall, disease resistance and low soil fertility have made it attractive crop to farmers. There is no recommended fertilizer rate of taros so far demonstrated and popularized to farmers, and hence this pre extension demonstration of fertilizer rate in Boloso-1 was carried out to develop high yielding taro for the area. The research was carried out in Boloso sore woreda of Wolaita zone and two kebeles were selected which are Dubo and Gara Godo respectively in 2018. There were significant difference exists among the urea applied and non-applied Boloso-1 and Boloso-1 with urea application is recommended in the Boloso sore and in similar agro ecology.From the results of the treatment it was observed that farmers show great interest towards the Boloso-1 with urea application on top of the Boloso-1 applied without urea.

Authors: Teshome Ermias
Published: February 2023

Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) has been traditional oil crop of Ethiopia and it is the third most important oilseeds in the higher altitudes. It is the leading oil crop in Bale highlands in terms of its area of production and productivity. Regardless of the potential for linseed production; diseases are the major yield limiting factors in Ethiopia. Pasmo (Septoria linicola) and powdery mildew (Odium lini) are among the most important diseases associated with linseed production. This experiment is intended to develop an option for the management of these major diseases. The experiment was conducted for three years in two locations. An improved linseed variety ‘‘Dibene’’ and a local cultivar were planted in RCB design with three replications. At Sinana On-station, ANOVA has depicted that for pasmo disease there was statistically significant (P<0.05) variation among treatments. The highest disease severity of 23.46% and the lowest 12.96% were recorded from local cultivar without fungicide spray and ‘Dibene’ variety sprayed at seven days interval, respectively. Similarly, statistically justifiable variations (P<0.05) were observed for Powdery mildew. The highest and the lowest powdery mildew severities of 46.3% and 22.84 % were recorded from local cultivar without fungicide spray and ‘Dibene’ variety sprayed at seven days interval, respectively. Similarly, ANOVA have depicted that there are significant difference (P<0.05) between treatments for thousand seed weigh (TSW) and grain yields. The highest and lowest TSW of 6.73g and 6.07g were recorded from ‘Dibene’ variety sprayed at twenty one days local cultivar without fungicide spray, respectively. Whereas, the highest and lowest grain yield of 2859.30kg/ha and 2316.8kg/ha was obtained from ‘Dibene’ variety sprayed at fourteen days (14) days and local cultivar without fungicide spray. Similarly, the result follows the same trend at welte’i berisa. ANAVA have shown that there application of a fungicide have made a significant difference (P<0.05) between treatments for TSW and grain yield. The highest and lowest TSW of 5.87gand 5.27g was recorded from ‘Dibene’ variety sprayed at twenty one days interval and local cultivar without fungicide spray, respectively. In case of grain yield, the largest and smallest grain yield of 1733.6kg/ha and 1045.6kg/ha were obtained from ‘Dibene’ variety sprayed at fourteen days days interval and the local cultivar without fungicide spray, respectively. Therefore, One to two times spray of a fungicide Odeon (Chlorothalonil) at a rate of 2.5 kg/ha and at an interval of 14 days is recommended for the management of Powdery mildew and Pasmo diseases on linseed.

La educación es un proceso dinámico en el que coinciden educandos y educadores dentro de contextos específicos, con el fin de desarrollar competencias encaminadas a que los estudiantes se inserten en lo laboral para su propio desarrollo. A simple vista es un proceso simbiótico y casi espontáneo, sin embargo, la educación también enfrenta retos constantes debido a factores externos. Estos retos requieren adecuar herramientas a la didáctica que suelen ser poco usuales al entorno educativo, pero afines a entornos tecnológicos, específicamente en los virtuales. Así, los videojuegos que simulan interacciones sociales podrían ser parte de la solución para que los estudiantes obtengan experiencias prácticas, tomando como aliada a la tecnología y fusionando la realidad de manera que esta no sea vista como un muro infranqueable, sino como la oportunidad de encontrar respuestas viables mientras se aprende haciendo en la virtualidad para la empleabilidad.

The growth, development and yield of plant production are influenced by soil properties, both physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. The physical properties of the soil include texture, structure, consistency, soil moisture (the ability of the soil to hold water) and soil permeability. Soil chemical properties include soil pH, cation exchange capacity and nutrient content. Nutrient content, consisting of mineral and organic content including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other materials. Biological properties of soil are microorganisms that decompose organic matter that live in the soil. To get optimal yields on sandy soil, a solution is needed to solve the problem of physical, chemical and biological properties of sandy soil. This study uses secondary data aimed at knowing the physical, chemical and biological conditions that exist in several coastal areas in Indonesia. The results obtained treatment recommendations to improve the physical, chemical and biological conditions of sandy soil so as to produce optimal plant production. Based on the data obtained, to improve the condition of the sandy soil, several soil amendments can be used, including using compost, manure, biochar, and nitrogen fixing. The results showed that the addition of soil amendments improved soil quality, especially on the physical properties of the soil where in sandy soil the most important thing was the ability of the soil to hold water and maintain available nutrients in the soil. The most important soil chemical properties are the availability of nutrients in the soil. The responses obtained vary, especially in sandy soils and depend on the commodity of the plant.

This study aims to determine the fertility status of irrigated paddy fields in various types of irrigation networks, as well as its relationship to crop productivity in the rice fields of Lawele Village, Lasalimu District, Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. This research was conducted from June to October 2022. The method used is a descriptive method through field surveys and analysis in the laboratory. Sampling was carried out in a moving sequence based on the type of irrigation channel, and soil samples were taken at a depth of (0-20) cm. Soil chemical parameters analyzed were C-organic, total P2O5, total K2O, KTK, and KB. Determination of fertility status is guided by the PPT Soil Research Center, Bogor (1995). Problems that occur in irrigation in Lawele Village, Lasalimu District, are uneven distribution and poor physical condition of irrigation networks, as well as low soil fertility and crop productivity for various types of irrigation. The results showed that the fertility status of irrigated paddy fields on each land irrigated with various types of irrigation networks was very low. Fertility parameters that become obstacles in this soil fertility status are total K, total P, and some soil organic C which causes low land productivity in irrigated rice fields in Lawele Village. This is due to the leaching of soil cations as well as the lack of application of organic fertilizers and NPK by irrigation.

Museums are a source of knowledge and literacy for their visitors. However, so far, museum visitors only stop by and don't discuss comprehensive data related to objects seen by visitors. Others create interest in museums by digitizing the objects in them. So this research is a preliminary study before developing barcodes. This research is a preliminary study prior to the development of learning media for literary language and its barcode-based teaching for reading skills to facilitate the learning process in museums and educate local knowledge about relics that are full of information and knowledge. Understanding the contents of the object description utilizes barcode-based technology. The development design used is Research and Development Borg and Gall. There are seven research stages: problems, information collection, product design, product testing, design revision, design validation, and product revision. The barcode application developed can be used on Android phones or the like by utilizing barcodes, while its development is on the use of technology in objects in museums in Cakraningrat Bangkalan Madura of Ajhar Museum.

Forms of Reading as an Analytical Tool – Restraint or Refinement?

This article discusses a current problem in the research of literary reading and of literature instruction. Which theoretical models are needed in order to describe and to understand the different practices of reading and teaching literature in school? The theoretical concept in focus is form of reading (Swedish läsart), which points to the reader’s particular way of discerning the text. I begin by examining some of the consequences of a long-standing, almost habitual, application within Swedish research on literature instruction of a single theoretical perspective on forms of reading. This perspective is taken from Louise Rosenblatt and involves the orientations of reading which she calls aesthetic and efferent reading. My initial discussion is thus bears upon the problems generated by this kind of theoretical conformity.

In order to broaden the range of theoretical terminology with which students’ reading and teachers’ teaching might be analyzed my own initial idea was to suggest and apply empirically two different perspectives on forms of reading, stemming from Michael Riffaterre and Marie-Laure Ryan. However, since these models, like many others, are wrapped up in complex text theories with implied readers, whose interpretive operations have little resemblance with the interpretive strategies expected from teenage readers in school, even this approach seemed less productive. What we need instead – and this is my main point –, when it comes to examining the different forms of reading advocated in the classroom, is to theorize the practices of reading rather than to abide by already conventional understandings. By reference to the literary orientations in a short sequence from a literature discussion in eighth grade I suggest the term meta-cognitive form of reading.
Tid för litteraturdidaktiskt paradigmskifte?

Time for a Paradigmatic Shift in Literature Didactics?

An increasing number of literary scholars are involved in the didactic education of university students studying to become teachers. In this article I discuss the difficulties and possibilities of the task in a changing media landscape where reading fiction seems to be losing popularity. I argue that the paradigm in literature didactics has hitherto been rather one-sided, dominated by reader response-theory and pedagogy based on the high valuation of individual experience, but neglecting the learning of literary skills and strategies. However, several researchers have pointed to the fact that Swedish pupils seem to interpret texts in rather subjective ways, in a kind of private readings. They have difficulties in understanding fictional texts, especially when the aesthetic forms are unfamiliar.

The study of literature didactics cannot be restricted to the reader response-paradigm, but must make use of other perspectives in literary theory. In my opinion, the future teachers have to provide a widening of their pupils’ horizons. They must read a great variety of literature together, talk and write about it, and discuss relevant interpretations. Teachers cannot neglect teaching aesthetics, and they must, beginning in the early years of schooling, explain to their pupils the value of literary reading. Learning literary strategies is important for anyone, but especially for low performing readers. I argue that literature has a potential for increasing the sense of individual freedom and cultivating one’s mind, but also that literary studies can provide argumentative skills and raise a critical consciousness. In the visual and interactive culture of our days, the study of literature can be an alternative opportunity where slowness and critical reflection is honoured.
