French as a ''spoil of war'' and a springboard for accelerated teaching/learning and effective mastery of other foreign languages, especially English in Algeria in the era of globalization.
Authors: MOKDAD Assis. Prof.  Ph.D. Naouel
Published: June 2024

This study aims to highlight the value of French (L2) as a starting point for the teaching/learning of other foreign languages in Algeria, in particular the dominant English language. Recently, the latter has become more valuable in Algerian society and continues to occupy an increasing place in the language market and in the Algerian university. The influence of a foreign language on another target language, which was previously considered negative (impact), can now have a positive contribution in that it is likely to bring linguistic gains that facilitate the acquisition and proficiency of a second foreign language, such as English, which is considered a second foreign language in Algeria. In this perspective, we will try to analyse the different sociolinguistic situations and representations of the teachers of French-speaking English students who learn English at the level of the Intensive Language Teaching Centre of the University of Oum El Bouaghi with the intention of knowing the contribution of French as a support language to the acquisition of the English language, in particular the vocabulary. In addition, it will be analysed in order to understand and discover the importance of the French language as a spoils of war in the teaching/learning of English through language transfer. Therefore, the closed questions, but especially the open questions, will aim to get more information from the target speaker of the Intensive Language Teaching Centre of our university, especially the English language teachers.
Species Relationship and Animal Cruelty in Karen Joy Fowler’s We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
Authors: Chinweolu Ibeneche Charles , Mary Chinturu (Ph.D) Adindu
Published: June 2024

Over time, multiplicity or replication has influenced life, and life itself has in various ways affected and been affected by the physical environment. A typical example of a member of the physical environment that has been expressly affected by man is the non-human members of the environment especially, animals. Cruelty against animals is an emerging concern in global ecological discourse in recent times. This paper however examines species relationship and animal cruelty in Karen Joy Fowler’s We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves. The objective is to critically investigate how man relates with animals and the spate of cruelty against animals in the physical environment. In order to achieve this set intention, the study engages the theoretical exposition of ecocriticism mainly because of its commitment to environmentalist philosophy. Contrary to a jaundiced belief that animals should not make ecologic discourses, the research reveals that animals are members of the physical environment but are subjected to oppressive cruelty. It shows also that animal rights advocacy is within the purview of environmental literature. The study indicates that species relationships can be a useful standard for gauging the health of the ecosystem.
100 år med Danmarks Stednavne

Published: June 2024

Names are an important part of the intangible cultural heritage that our language represents and placenames are an important source for many subjects such as language research, geography, history, archaeology etc. Therefore, it is an important task to provide knowledge about place-names in a form that can be used widely. This knowledge can be found in the book series Danmarks Stednavne (‘Place-Names of Denmark’), and in 2022, it is one hundred years since the first volume of the series was published. In this article, we present the editorial history of the series and describe the process in the development of the volumes, each standing on the shoulders of its predecessors. The series’ chosen form of production based on a land-registration system, which today can be considered obsolete, is explained, along with the variation regarding which classes of place-names have been treated in each volume and the varying inclusion of settlement-historical presentations based on the place-name evidence. While such issues have changed, the series has upheld a consistent focus on listing historical forms of the place-names and interpreting their etymology. The presentation of the publishing process and changed editorial principles in the course of time are rounded off with the current editorial plans for the future of Danmarks Stednavne.
Herman Bang og det sydøstlige Europa – med særligt henblik på Østrig
Authors: Rossel Sven Hakon
Published: June 2024

This article presents an in-depth account of the Danish writer Herman Bang’s preoccupation with southeastern Europe and, in particular, Austria. Visiting the various countries served as a source of artistic inspiration but also presented Bang with material which he, also being a prolific journalist, could utilise for writing articles for various Danish newspapers. These articles, a large selection of which are quoted in the present article, contain snapshots of picturesque sceneries and cultural sites as well as commentaries on political issues during a period when a number of countries under the Austrian-Hungarian Empire were in the process of gaining national independence. Furthermore, the present article has traced and documented the instances where Bang in his fictional work includes observations from his many journeys to the southeastern countries as well as Austria. The article concludes with the first bibliography listing Bang’s works which over the years have been translated from Danish to Bulgarian, Czech, Hungarian and Romanian as well as texts published in Austria.

Infusing Sustainability
Authors: Cortes Catalina , Huerta Oscar
Published: June 2024

Design for Sustainability has evolved rapidly over the last decades as a response to unprecedented global challenges. Several models have been developed to address the need to design more sustainable products, services, and policies. These strategies are oriented towards more sustainable ways of living. The Compass, developed by the Index Project in Denmark, is a method that offers a framework to structure the design process while considering social, environmental, and economic sustainability aspects. This article presents an exploratory case study to infuse sustainability in design education using this method in interdisciplinary teams. The context is a master’s degree offered by a design school in a Chilean university. The study's outcomes reveal that The Compass method is a dynamic and flexible structure for design in interdisciplinary teams. To strengthen its applicability, it could incorporate links to sustainability methods from various areas of knowledge that specifically address economic, environmental, or social aspects. Complementing The Compass with these sustainable approaches to confront the complexity of the challenges may facilitate the move from good ideas to feasible, sustainable design solutions in design and other fields.
Comparison of Size specific dose estimates (SSDE) and CTDIvol values in patients undergoing CT examinations of abdomen and pelvis
Authors: Joshi Sweta , Paudel Sharma , Shrestha Shanta Lall , Maharjan Surendra
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Computed Tomography Dose Index volume (CTDIvol) is a measure of radiation output of the CT scanner and does not represent patient dose. It often underestimates the radiation dose being given to small children and smaller adults and overestimates the dose to larger patients. The use of Size Specific Dose Index (SSDE) helps convert CTDIvol into more patient size specific radiation dose and is a better measure of estimated patient dose than CTDIvol.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Radiology and Imaging of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), Maharajgunj, Nepal. CT scans were performed on the Siemens Somaton Definition AS+ 128 slice scanner. During 96 CT examinations of the abdomen and pelvis collected over a period of 4 months, effective diameters were calculated from the AP and Lateral diameters at the mid-liver region. These were used to determine the conversion factors which were then used to convert the CTDIvol values to SSDE. Obtained SSDE values were compared with the displayed CTDIvol values.
Results: The average CTDIvol was found to be 9.42 ± 3.26 mGy and the average SSDE was found to be 13.48 ± 3.53 mGy. Moderate positive correlation (r=+0.52, p<0.001) was found between CTDIvol and patient weight and low positive correlation (r=+0.17, p=0.08) was found between SSDE and patient weight. Similarly, moderate positive correlation (r=+0.5, p<0.001) was found between CTDIvol and patient BMI and low positive correlation (r=+0.14, p=0.15) was found between SSDE and patient BMI.
Conclusion: In comparison with SSDE, CTDIvol seemed to underestimate the patient dose estimate by 30.11%. CTDIvol values showed dependency with patient weight and BMI, this dependency was significantly reduced when those values were converted into SSDE (i.e. r=+0.52, p<0.001 (CTDIvol and Patient weight) vs. r=+0.17, p=0.08 (SSDE and Patient weight) and r=+0.5, p<0.001 (CTDIvol and BMI) vs. r=+0.14, p=0.15 (SSDE and BMI). Thus, providing more concrete evidence to the fact that SSDE values are a more reliable patient dose estimate since it addresses the patient’s size.
Advancements in heuristic task scheduling for IoT applications in fog-cloud computing: challenges and prospects
Authors: Alsadie Deafallah
Published: June 2024

Fog computing has emerged as a prospective paradigm to address the computational requirements of IoT applications, extending the capabilities of cloud computing to the network edge. Task scheduling is pivotal in enhancing energy efficiency, optimizing resource utilization and ensuring the timely execution of tasks within fog computing environments. This article presents a comprehensive review of the advancements in task scheduling methodologies for fog computing systems, covering priority-based, greedy heuristics, metaheuristics, learning-based, hybrid heuristics, and nature-inspired heuristic approaches. Through a systematic analysis of relevant literature, we highlight the strengths and limitations of each approach and identify key challenges facing fog computing task scheduling, including dynamic environments, heterogeneity, scalability, resource constraints, security concerns, and algorithm transparency. Furthermore, we propose future research directions to address these challenges, including the integration of machine learning techniques for real-time adaptation, leveraging federated learning for collaborative scheduling, developing resource-aware and energy-efficient algorithms, incorporating security-aware techniques, and advancing explainable AI methodologies. By addressing these challenges and pursuing these research directions, we aim to facilitate the development of more robust, adaptable, and efficient task-scheduling solutions for fog computing environments, ultimately fostering trust, security, and sustainability in fog computing systems and facilitating their widespread adoption across diverse applications and domains.
Wireless optimization for sensor networks using IoT-based clustering and routing algorithms
Authors: Kumar Arun , Gaur Nishant , Nanthaamornphong Aziz
Published: June 2024

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are among the most prominent current technologies. Its popularity has skyrocketed because of its capacity to operate in difficult situations. The WSN market encompasses various industries, including building automation, security networks, healthcare systems, logistics, and military operations. Therefore, increasing the energy efficiency of these networks is of utmost importance. Hierarchical topology, which typically uses a clustering methodology, is one of the most well-known methods for WSN energy optimization. To achieve energy efficiency in WSN, hierarchical topology low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) was first introduced, and this served as the foundation. However, conventional LEACH has several limitations, which have led to extensive research into improving LEACH’s efficacy in its current form. The use of particular algorithms and strategies to enhance the functionality of the conventional LEACH protocol forms the basis of ongoing efforts. Utilizing this enhanced LEACH, performance in terms of throughput and network life may be enhanced by concentrating on elements such as cluster head formation and transmission energy consumption. The enhanced LEACH algorithm demonstrates significant improvements in both throughput and network lifetime compared with conventional LEACH. Through rigorous experimentation, it was found that the enhanced algorithm increases the throughput by 25% on average, which is attributed to its dynamic clustering and optimized routing strategies. Furthermore, the network lifetime is extended by approximately 30%, primarily because of enhanced energy efficiency through adaptive clustering and transmission power control.
Incidence, mortality, and predictive factors associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome in multiple trauma patients living in high-altitude areas: a retrospective study in Shigatse
Authors: Tu Dan , Ji Lv , Cao Qiang , Ley Tin , Duo Suolangpian , Cheng Ningbo , Lin Wenjing , Zhang Jianlei , Yu Weifeng , Pan Zhiying , Wang Xiaoqiang
Published: June 2024

Background

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe complication that can lead to fatalities in multiple trauma patients. Nevertheless, the incidence rate and early prediction of ARDS among multiple trauma patients residing in high-altitude areas remain unknown.

Methods

This study included a total of 168 multiple trauma patients who received treatment at Shigatse People’s Hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU) between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2021. The clinical characteristics of the patients and the incidence rate of ARDS were assessed. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were employed to identify potential risk factors for ARDS, and the predictive effects of these risk factors were analyzed.

Results

In the high-altitude area, the incidence of ARDS among multiple trauma patients was 37.5% (63/168), with a hospital mortality rate of 16.1% (27/168). Injury Severity Score (ISS) and thoracic injuries were identified as significant predictors for ARDS using the logistic regression model, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.75 and 0.75, respectively. Furthermore, a novel predictive risk score combining ISS and thoracic injuries demonstrated improved predictive ability, achieving an AUC of 0.82.

Conclusions

This study presents the incidence of ARDS in multiple trauma patients residing in the Tibetan region, and identifies two critical predictive factors along with a risk score for early prediction of ARDS. These findings have the potential to enhance clinicians’ ability to accurately assess the risk of ARDS and proactively prevent its onset.
“Uno y su nadie, su pavorosamente nadie”. Gonzalo Rojas y Paul Celan
Authors: Bradu Fabienne
Published: June 2024

Gonzalo Rojas sostenía que el poeta rumano Paul Celan era su doble. ¿Qué significa semejante afirmación? Hay que rastrear sus respectivas obras poéticas para encontrar coincidencias que no significan una influencia del uno sobre el otro. Gonzalo Rojas conoció la obra de Paul Celan tardíamente en su vida y creyó reconocer en ella una misma manera de descuartizar el lenguaje, así como objetivos comunes en su concepción del destino de la poesía. Lo más extraño es que esta relación estrecha e inesperada entre los dos poetas no se limita a la poética, sino que atañe a la vida misma. Estas coincidencias que van más allá de la obra son las que el artículo procura mostrar.
"Quebrantahuesos". Poesía expandida, visual y política en Chile, 1952
Authors: Martínez Alejandro
Published: June 2024

Este artículo analiza Quebrantahuesos (1952), una intervención poética realizada colectivamente por los poetas Nicanor Parra, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Enrique Lihn, entre otros, en el espacio público en Santiago de Chile, en el contexto de la poesía expandida y su relación con la política durante la Guerra Fría. A través de collages que imitaban portadas de periódicos, Quebrantahuesos cuestionó la relación entre la letra y el poder en América Latina en un contexto marcado por las políticas anticomunistas. Rescatado por Ronald Kay en 1975, durante la dictadura militar chilena, Quebrantahuesos adquiere una nueva relevancia política. El artículo destaca cómo esta acción poética interviene sobre la esfera pública al hacer una amplia crítica a diversas situaciones sociales, con el fin de reconsiderar su significado en la genealogía del arte político en Chile. La investigación da cuenta de la recepción crítica del proyecto, su impacto histórico y su papel como precursor de prácticas de arte político en Chile, argumentando que su recuperación durante la dictadura refleja su potencial político latente.

La formación del archivo de José Donoso, una subjetividad en fuga
Authors: García-Huidobro Cecilia
Published: June 2024

Es indiscutible que los archivos han adquirido una progresiva relevancia en los estudios críticos. Un hecho que ha cobrado especial importancia es el caso de José Donoso a partir de la publicación de fragmentos de sus diarios y epistolarios en las últimas décadas. Sin embargo, poco se sabe sobre la gestación de éste. Desde la exploración de la documentación conservada y a partir de la experiencia de trabajo con archivos formales e informales, la autora demarca en este artículo los principales hitos en la formación del archivo Donoso, así como nuevos pliegues de densidad biográfica y escritural que surgen a partir del él.
Donoso & Antúnez. A propósito de algunos paratextos icónicos
Authors: Cid Hidalgo Juan D.
Published: June 2024

En las siguientes páginas abordaremos el trabajo colaborativo entre José Donoso y Nemesio Antúnez hacia finales de la década del 50, vale decir, en el período inicial de su reconocimiento y consolidación disciplinaria. A partir de los paratextos icónicos ‒grabados incorporados en el flujo textual de Dos cuentos (1956) como la imagen/obra de la portada de Coronación (1957)‒ reconoceremos el interés por llevar sus disciplinas a una tensión que naturalmente decanta en la constitución de una obra en que la imagentexto (Mitchell 2009) busca imponer un nuevo régimen de lectura y agenciamiento del libro sin privilegios de la palabra escrita por sobre la imagen. La aparente autonomía de los dos registros (letra e imagen), a la luz de nuestra propuesta de lectura, más bien proyecta un ideario curatorial común que refuerza la propuesta estética de ambos creadores, donde la soledad, el poder, la mascarada, la locura, la ruina, el dolor, el exilio, la clase, etc. dejan una marca indeleble.
МИРЯНЕ В ВЕСТГОТСКИХ МОНАСТЫРЯХ (НА ПРИМЕРЕ ТРЕТЬЕГО КАНОНА III САРАГОССКОГО СОБОРА (691 Г.) И ВЕСТГОТСКИХ МОНАШЕСКИХ УСТАВОВ)
Authors: Марей Елена Сергеевна
Published: June 2024

Объектом внимания автора стал третий канон III Сарагосского собора, регламентировавший пребывание мирян в монастыре. На материале этого постановления, а также вестготских монашеских уставов были выделены основные причины конфликтов, возникающих между монахами и мирянами. Вторая половина VII в. стала временем кризиса в Толедском королевстве вестготов. Мелкие и средние землевладельцы разорялись, их земли скупали за бесценок или просто отнимали магнаты. Фактически единственным прибежищем для бедных и обездоленных в условиях слабеющей королевской власти становились монастыри, чьи аббаты могли противостоять произволу магнатов. Как свидетельствует «Общий устав», в монастыри часто приходили целыми семьями, с женами и маленькими детьми. Приток мирян в обители неизбежно отражался на дисциплине монахов: миряне мешали инокам трудиться и нарушали их распорядок дня, разговоры с мирянами могли внушать монахам желание вернуться в мир, искать богатства и почестей. Проблему могли представлять конфликты из-за имущества, поскольку монах, покидая обитель, был вправе потребовать назад вложенные им средства. Однако соборные постановления не запрещали аббатам предоставлять убежище нуждающимся, а лишь ограничивали такое право: принимать в монастырь можно было только бедных и обездоленных, при этом их образ жизни не должен был вызывать нареканий у настоятеля. Гостям надлежало селиться в специально отведенных для этого постройках, их контакты с братией таким образом ограничивались. Несмотря на риторику, обличавшую мирян, монастырь оставался прибежищем для социально незащищенных слоев населения и в этом смысле был тесно связан с обществом.
АНГЕЛЫ В ВЕЧНОСТИ, А ДЕМОНЫ В НЕБЕСНОМ ЭМПИРЕЕ? OPUS II, DISE 2 ГУГО СЕН-ШЕРСКОГО
Authors: Нехаенко Ф.В.
Published: June 2024

Гуго Сен-Шерский (ок. 1190-1263) закончил свое «Сочинение» (Opus), подготовленный в Париже комментарий на «Сентенции» Петра Ломбардского, в 1231-1234 гг. Доминиканец предвосхитил схоластический поворот к рассмотрению абстрактных проблем, независимых от оригинальных «Сентенций». Настоящая статья является предисловием к публикации транскрипции и перевода второй дистинкции второй книги «Сентенций» Гуго. На основе обширной рукописной традиции комментариев на «Сентенции» я анализирую вклад Гуго в схоластическую теологию, его отношение с предшественниками и современниками, подход к источникам, а также демонстрирую пробелы в аргументации доминиканца, игнорируемые вопросы и влияние на других схоластов, а именно Роланда Кремонского, Александра Гэльского, Иоанна Рупельского, Одона Ригальда, Ричарда Фишакра и Ричарда Руфа. Полагаясь на авторитеты Аристотеля и Иоанна Дамаскина. Гуго решает новые проблемы существования во времени и пространстве, а также интеллектуального познания ангелов. Ангелы являются соравными небесному эмпирею, первоматерии и времени, течение которого начинается только после сотворения мира. Они также, будучи бестелесными, обладают собственным местом в небесном эмпирее, который заключает внутри себя остальные небеса. Местонахождение ангелов определяется сущностью и действием. Кроме того, ангельский «ум» познает вещи непосредственно, а не по подобиям, как человеческий.

Письма хранятся в Российском государственном архиве литературы и искусства (РГАЛИ) и охватывают период с 1932 по 1938 гг. Их содержание связано с обсуждением нескольких издательских проектов, предпринятых издательством «Academia» в первой половине 1930-х гг. в сериях итальянской литературы и иностранных мемуаров. В письмах историки обсуждают не только издания, вышедшие при непосредственном участии И.М. Гревса (к примеру, роман Массимо Д’Адзелио «Этторе Фьерамоска» и «Мемуары» Сен-Симона), но и проекты с его участием, которым было не суждено увидеть свет (в частности, «Трактат о семье» Леона Батиста Альберти, «Книги о придворном» Кастильоне или сборник писем И.С. Тургенева). Данные письма отражают не только процесс принятия решений в рамках издательства «Academia», но и позволяют увидеть особенности советской коммуникативной культуры 1930-х гг.

Published: June 2024

Academic research shows that IFRS-based financial statements enhance transparency and comparability of financial statements. However, Securities and Exchange Commission, the regulatory body in the United States, continues to refuse to require or permit domestic companies to use IFRS. There exists a robust demand for IFRS in the United States. Though there are some obstacles in the path of IFRS adoption, these are not considered insurmountable and adoption of IFRS will provide US companies with much needed flexibility.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to identify the form of formative assessment instruments used by teachers and to understand the implementation of formative assessment within Kurikulum Merdeka in ornamental drawing lessons at the secondary school level. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with activity analysis methods. Primary and secondary data were obtained through interviews and observations. The sample in this study consists of eight cultural arts teachers from secondary schools. The results indicate that the application of formative assessment in learning leads to students achieving good learning outcomes because teachers can identify students' strengths and weaknesses, thus facilitating the improvement of the learning process and focusing on indicators such as the process of cultural arts (decorative patterns) learning in class, the form of formative assessment instruments, the implementation of formative assessment, and examining the strengths and weaknesses of formative assessment implementation. Furthermore, the implementation of formative assessment has been well-executed in the learning process, as observed directly by the researchers during the learning activities and the teachers' evaluation methods. Formative assessment in ornamental drawing lessons at the secondary school level applies three assessment instruments within one sub-chapter or material, including knowledge, attitude, and skill assessments. Teachers conduct formative assessments for each sub-material, and the evaluations cover the three aspects in every session.

The evolution of the tadek dance as art of the post-burial rites of the Tingguians of Nueva Era is a result of the family influence and the age of foundational learning of the identified performers of the tadek. Along with the death practices of the Tingguians during wake and burial is that the tadek dance is also performed as part of their post-burial rites. Also, the tadek dance strictly observes steps, movements and choreography in its performance as there are implications of the tadek dance on post-burial rites. Lastly, the Tingguians of Nueva Era puts so much importance and value to the tadek dance as this serves as a part of their cultural identity and cultural heritage as indigenous people .This study aims to explore the post-burial rites of the Tingguians and to document the steps, movements and choreographies observed during the performance of the tadek. This study also aims to explore the cultural relevance of the tadek dance among the Tingguians. Hence,  A focused group discussion (FGD) with the participants was administered to be able to acquire the necessary data needed in the study. The participants was chosen as they are identified performers of the dance. Prior consent was secured from the National Commision on Indigenous Peoples, Office of the Mayor and a courtesy call among the tribe’s chieftain and all IP laws were observed before the conduct of the study. An interview guide formulated by the researchers which was validated by three IP members from Ilocos Norte and one professor in the Social Sciences was used during the focused group discussion (FGD). Data gathered was analyzed through a thematic analysis. To be able to analyze and interpret the data gathered, the researchers sought help from a native of the locality to translate the responses of the respondents.

Economical water-harvesting structures such as drystone masonry and upstream-wall cement masonry, with heights ranging from 1 to 2.5 meters, are constructed for catchments smaller than 10, 10 to 20, and 20 to 30 hectares, respectively, utilizing locally sourced materials. These constructions offer significant cost-effectiveness for the location, boasting a B:C ratio of 3.5:1. In certain areas of Assam, Garh structures are constructed, featuring large and lengthy embankments on both sides with an open central section for water flow. Within paddy fields, the entire area is partitioned into small square segments, creating small embankments known as "Dara." which store rainwater for cultivation. Across the entire Western Himalayan region, encompassing Jammu, Himachal Pradesh, and Northern Uttaranchal, Guhl serves as a standardized water harvesting technique. Notably, in Akola and Chittoor districts, the establishment of farm ponds has significantly boosted crop and livestock productivity, along with farm income. Additional irrigation has notably enhanced the yield of various rainfed crops such as pigeon pea, chickpea, groundnut, cotton, and vegetables, as well as mango and coconut plants, with improvements ranging from 5 to 72%. With the availability of harvested rainwater for supplemental irrigation, farmers have also planted additional fruit trees, resulting in increased productivity of existing fruit trees, such as mango (39%) in Chittoor district and coconut (51%) in Vellore district. Expanding the number of rainwater harvesting structures could potentially reduce runoff within the basin by up to 60%. The implementation of Doha Models, involving percolation tanks dug along the length of lower-order seasonal streams in Jalna district of Maharashtra, has increased cropping intensity from 129% to 132%. Remarkably, five out of seven crops have demonstrated a relatively higher percentage increase in yields. The optimal productivity of harvested water is achieved when efficient application methods such as micro-irrigation are employed, targeting high-value crops.

The current research involved a thorough field survey to assess particle size distribution and the availability of primary nutrients in rabi-grown groundnut soils (2022-2023) across three productivity regions: high (2497.15-3006.47 kg ha-1), medium (1987.82-2497.15 kg ha-1), and low (up to 1987.82 kg ha-1) in Nalgonda district, Telangana. A total of 150 surface soil samples (0 - 15 cm depth), with 50 samples from each productivity region, were collected before the sowing of rabi groundnut crop using a stratified random sampling method. These collected soil samples are further processed and analysed for soil texture, available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). The objective of this research is to know the status of texture and primary nutrients in groundnut growing areas of Nalgonda district. The sand, silt and clay content in high, medium and low productivity regions averaged 72.90%, 71.29%, 67.56%; 6.82%, 8.35%, 10.16% and 20.27%, 20.36%, 22.27% respectively. The respective available N, P and K showed mean values of 257.29 kg ha-1, 189.40 kg ha-1 and 138.99 kg ha-1; 48.025 kg h IJPSS_116978a-1, 44.512 kg ha-1, 27.09 kg ha-1 and 251.91 kg ha-1, 236.48 kg ha-1, 174.86 kg ha-1 in high, medium and low productivity regions. In regions characterized by high productivity, there was a pronounced prevalence of sand content, significantly influencing soil particle aggregation. Notably, silt content exhibited considerable variation, particularly within areas of medium and low productivity, whereas clay content displayed the most variability in regions of low productivity. The availability of nitrogen decreased sequentially from high to medium productivity areas, and further from medium to low productivity regions. This same pattern was observed for available phosphorus and potassium, with substantial variations across the three productivity categories, declining consistently from high productivity regions to low productivity ones. Variations in available phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) exhibited extensive dispersion within every productivity category, as evidenced by the significant standard deviation and coefficient of variation values across these regions. This is particularly notable for potassium, highlighting the necessity of considering diverse soil conditions and factors affecting potassium availability when formulating fertilization plans.

Authors: Meena S.K. , Bhamare V.K.
Published: June 2024

During the rabi season, the peak populations of Chilo partellus and Sesamia inferens were observed under specific weather conditions: no rainfall, maximum temperatures of 32.8°C and 31.9°C, minimum temperatures of 16.7°C and 16.2°C, morning relative humidity of 75.83% and 81.47%, afternoon relative humidity of 43.5% and 48.1%, and wind speeds of 20 km/h and 19.7 km/h, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that the larval population of C. partellus infesting rabi sorghum had a significantly positive correlation with morning relative humidity and a significantly negative correlation with wind speed. In contrast, the larval population of S. inferens showed a positive but non-significant correlation with rainfall, morning relative humidity, and afternoon relative humidity. By monitoring specific weather conditions, such as humidity and wind speed, and understanding their impact on pest populations, effective interventions can be designed to mitigate the damage caused by C. partellus and S. inferens. This knowledge is crucial for improving crop yields and ensuring sustainable agricultural practices.

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Gwalior (M.P.), during the 2019 kharif season to investigate the effects of different planting methods and weed control treatments on the weeds, growth, yield, and economics of green gram. The field experiment followed a split-plot design with three planting methods as main plot treatments (broadcasting on a flat bed, line sowing on a flat bed, and ridge and furrow) and five weed management practices as sub-plot treatments (Pendimethalin 1000 g/ha, Diclosulam 26 g/ha, Imazethapyr 75 g/ha, hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS and weedy check), replicated thrice. The experimental field was primarily infested with narrow-leaved weeds such as Cyperus rotundus, Cynodon dactylon, Echinochloa spp., and Dactyloctenium aegyptium, and broad-leaved weeds like Digera arvensis, Celosia argentea, Commelina benghalensis, and Phyllanthus niruri. Among the herbicidal treatments, Imazethapyr at 75 g/ha effectively controlled both narrow-leaved and broad-leaved weeds, resulting in the lowest weed index. The ridge and furrow planting method recorded the highest values in growth parameters, yield attributes, and seed yield, proving to be more remunerative compared to other methods. These findings indicate that the combination of ridge and furrow planting with effective weed management, particularly using Imazethapyr, optimizes green gram productivity and economic returns.

Bladder inflammation, commonly brought on by a bladder infection, is known as cystitis. This sort of urinary tract infection (UTI) is widespread, especially in women, and is usually not as significant of a problem as it seems. Bacteria in the lower urinary tract are typically the cause of cystic cystitis. The bacteria Escherichia coli is typically the cause, accounting for 95% of cases. Bacteria can occasionally enter the bladder through the urethra and cause cystitis, an inflammation of the bladder typically brought on by a bladder infection. It's a prevalent kind of urinary tract infection (UTI), especially in women, and typically only causes minor discomfort rather than alarm. When treating women with simple acute cystitis, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), fosfomycin, or nitrofurantoin monohydrate/macrocrystals are the first-choice medications. When other suggested medications are not effective, beta-lactam antibiotics may be utilized. 33.54% of people had a UTI, with 66.78% female and 33.22% male. In India, there was a higher frequency in females than in males (2:1). 2019 estimates for the world included 404.61 million cases, 236,790 deaths, and 520,200 DALYs. Specifically, there was a 2.4-fold increase in deaths between 1990 and 2019, and the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) went from 2.77/100,000 to 3.13/100,000. In this review study, we discuss the causes, prevalence, available treatments, and current status of cystitis.
