Islamic Finance and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
Authors: Slamet Aam
Published: February 2023

Islamic finance plays an important role in sustainable development. Sharia offers a comprehensive approach to many elements of life, including transactions. Sharia provides moral standards for economic operations and transactions in addition to legal laws. It outlines the fundamental ideas of economic systems, such as property rights, contacts, economic activity, and the principles that govern the behaviour and activities of individuals, markets, and the economy. Where Islamic financial instruments focus on implementing a vision that lies in three aspects: economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. In this context, the goals of Islam are in line with the objectives of the sustainable development agenda (SDGs) which are to increase economic growth and realize a prosperous life and eliminate poverty. This study aims to determine the development of research trends in Islamic Finance and Sustainable Development Goals published by leading journals on Islamic financial economics. The data analyzed consisted of 79 indexed research publications. The data is then processed and analyzed using the VoS viewer application to find out the bibliometric map of the development of Islamic Finance and Sustainable Development Goals research.

Authors: Hidayat Paidi , Sudana
Published: February 2023

Financial literacy is a combination of awareness, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors that a person needs to make healthy financial decisions and ultimately achieve individual financial well-being. Financial literacy is a basic need for everyone to avoid financial problems. Financial difficulties are not only a function of income alone (low income). Financial difficulties can also arise if there is an error in financial management (mismanagement), such as misuse of credit and the absence of financial planning. Financial literacy, which is getting more attention in many developed countries, has made us realize how important the level of financial literacy is. This study aims to determine the development trend of Financial Literacy research published by leading journals indexed by scopus. The data analyzed consisted of 1756 indexed research publications. The data is then processed and analyzed using the VoS viewer application to find out the bibliometric map of the development of Financial Literacy research.

Authors: Rahardjo Sri
Published: February 2023

Indonesia’s economic conditions over the last five years have shown high and stable growth. In addition to achieving satisfactory economic growth, there are several notes submitted by rating ratings. Indonesia’s economic growth becomes more optimal, namely the condition of Indonesia’s infrastructure, which is still inadequate. The existence of infrastructure is the most vital thing for the national economy. As the highest policyholder in a country, the government must provide the infrastructure needed by the community, such as energy, communication, and transportation. The development of transportation is directed at bridging the gap between regions and encouraging the equal distribution of development results. Sea transportation plays an important role in smooth trade because it has high economic value, carrying capacity, and relatively low cost. The Government of Indonesia has taken several steps in implementing its commitment to accelerate infrastructure development and encourage cooperation in infrastructure. However, this is experiencing funding constraints. Therefore, the government must evaluate and seek breakthrough sources and financing. One of the breakthrough sources of financing funds is by using Sukuk, Istishna, and Musyarakah. This study aims to determine the development trend of Istisna, Musyarakah, and Sukuk’s research on port infrastructure financing, published by leading journals on Islamic financial economics. The data analyzed consisted of 25 indexed research publications. The data is then processed and analyzed using the VoS viewer application to find out the bibliometric map of Istisna, Musyarakah, and Sukuk research developments on port infrastructure financing.

Kolari marketplace in a multicultural landscape between Sámi, Swedes and Finns
Authors: Äikäs Tiina , Seitsonen Oula , Salmi Anna-Kaisa
Published: February 2023

The marketplace in Kolari, Northern Finland was used until the 1880s. Located on Kolarinsaari island on the Muonionjoki river in close proximity to the Kolari church, it was a winter meeting place for local farmers and Sámi, as well as for tradesmen from the areas that are now Sweden, Finland, and Karelia. Archaeological excavations were carried out in summer 2018 and in connection to these, soil geochemical values were analysed. This paper focuses on the Kolari marketplace as a part of a landscape shared by Swedes, Finns, and Sámi. Furthermore, through the soil analyses we examine the intercultural interactions that took place during the winter market and scrutinize how different activities, people, and animals were located in the marketplace as well as in the wider landscape surrounding the marketplace. The latter is approached using GIS analysis and Tim Ingold’s concept of taskscape. This case study shows how the historical archaeology of landscapes and taskscapes can contribute to our understanding of contacts and multicultural encounters between the Sámi and other groups.
Ett ovanligt skidfynd från Låktatjåhkkå- / Loktačohkkaglaciären, Sápmi
Authors: Fjellström Markus , Isaksson Sven , Lidén Kerstin
Published: February 2023

An unusual ski from the Låktatjåhkå / Loktacohkka glacier in Sápmi – Use, wax, 14C and lipid residue analysis: Archaeological skis dated from the Stone Age to today, are not unusual finds in bogs and wetlands. They are found all over Sápmi, from Norway to the Kola peninsula in the Russian federation. Skis are also represented in rock art at different sites in Sápmi and mentioned in written sources; however, skis found at higher altitudes, at glaciers and perennial snow patches, are not as common. In 2018, nine kilometers west of Björkliden, a fragment of a ski was found by the Loktačohkka glacier. The ski fragment was first 14C-dated to the 15th century; however, presence of vax on the fragment presented an interesting problem. A new 14C analysis of the ski fragment, with the wax components removed, now dated the cellulose from the ski to 1645–1916 CE, i.e. the ski could have been used some time from circa 1645 into the first half of the 20th century. This study highlights the importance of regular surveys of melting glaciers and snow patches to retrieve organic material melting out, as well as the importance of investigating what components wood could have been impregnated with.
Desinformação e avanço da poliomielite no Brasil (2000 – 2021)
Authors: Heller Barbara , Judensnaider Ivy , Brasil Bettina Gerken , Salvador Langa Estevão
Published: February 2023

A poliomielite, embora erradicada desde 1989 no Brasil, corre o risco de ser reintroduzida em nosso país. Buscamos entender esse fenômeno a partir das seguintes perguntas: existe relação entre disseminação de desinformação e declínio da cobertura vacinal contra a poliomielite no Brasil entre 2000 e 2021? Agentes políticos (internos e externos) participaram da disseminação de informações falsas? Por meio de procedimentos estatísticos confirmamos que: a) práticas de desinformação promovidas por agentes políticos internos e externos ao país evidenciam estratégias globais de disseminação de informações falsas; e b) existe forte correlação entre essas ações e a queda de cobertura vacinal contra a poliomielite, de tal maneira que, quanto mais intensas as campanhas de desinformação, menores as coberturas vacinais.

Defining the optimal technique for endoscopic ultrasound shear wave elastography: a combined benchtop and animal model study with comparison to transabdominal shear wave elastography
Authors: Wang Thomas J. , Ryou Marvin
Published: February 2023

Background/Aims: Shear wave elastography (SWE) is used for liver fibrosis staging based on stiffness measurements. It can be performed using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) or a transabdominal approach. Transabdominal accuracy can be limited in patients with obesity because of the thick abdomen. Theoretically, EUS-SWE overcomes this limitation by internally assessing the liver. We aimed to define the optimal technique for EUS-SWE for future research and clinical use and compare its accuracy with that of transabdominal SWE.Methods: Benchtop study: A standardized phantom model was used. The compared variables included the region of interest (ROI) size, depth, and orientation and transducer pressure.Porcine study: Phantom models with varying stiffness values were surgically implanted between the hepatic lobes.Results: For EUS-SWE, a larger ROI size of 1.5 cm and a smaller ROI depth of 1 cm demonstrated a significantly higher accuracy. For transabdominal SWE, the ROI size was nonadjustable, and the optimal ROI depth ranged from 2 to 4 cm. The transducer pressure and ROI orientation did not significantly affect the accuracy. There were no significant differences in the accuracy between transabdominal SWE and EUS-SWE in the animal model. The variability among the operators was more pronounced for the higher stiffness values. Small lesion measurements were accurate only when the ROI was entirely situated within the lesion.Conclusions: We defined the optimal viewing windows for EUS-SWE and transabdominal SWE. The accuracy was comparable in the non-obese porcine model. EUS-SWE may have a higher utility for evaluating small lesions than transabdominal SWE.
Inheritance of growth habit in einkorn wheat
Authors: Fu Hao , Bohuslavskyi R. L.
Published: February 2023

Aim. Find out the inheritance patterns of the trait “winterness / springness” in hybrids between representatives of einkorn wheat species. Methods. Crossings were carried out using the “single cross” method. The nature of inheritance of the growth habit was determined using hybridological analysis. Results. It has been shown that in the hybrids of wild wheat forms T. boeoticum and T. urartu with cultivated T monococcum and T. sinskajae, the winter growth habit of wild forms dominates over the spring one of cultivated forms. Differences in “winterness / springness” phenotype between parental forms in crosses of T.monococcum var. macedonicum with T.urartu var. spontaneorubrum and T.boeoticum var. bicolor; T.sinskajae var. sinskajae with T.urartu var. spontaneorubrum and T.boeoticum var. thaoudar; T.boeoticum var. thaoudar with T.monococcum var. monococcum, T.sinskajae var. sinskajae and T.monococcum var. macedonicum; T.boeoticum var. kurbagalensense with T.sinskajae var. sinskajae and T.monococcum var. monococcum are controlled by a single gene. The difference between the two wild forms in crossing T.boeoticum var. thaoudar × T.boeoticum var. kurbagalensense is controlled by two genes. In the crosses T.boeoticum var. thaoudar with T.monococcum var. monococcum, T.sinskajae var. sinskajae and T.monococcum var. macedonicum; T.boeoticum var. kurbagalensense × T.sinskajae var. sinskajae, the parental forms also differ digenously. Conclusions. Winterness of einkorn wheat wild forms dominates over the springness of cultivated forms. The difference in the growth habit between the studied einkorn forms is due to differences in 1 – 2 pairs of genes.
Genetic determination of drought resistance in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Authors: Sidorenko M. V. , Chebotar S. V.
Published: February 2023

The aim of the work is to analyze the literature data on genetic determinants and molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of adaptation and resistance to drought in common wheat. Results. Regulation of the response to osmotic stress in common wheat is carried out through several abscisic acid-dependent or independent pathways. ABA inhibits the growth processes of aerial parts of the plant by inhibiting the action of auxins and cytokinins, increases the hydraulic conductivity of roots by modulating the activity of aquaporins - membrane water channels, changes the flow of ions in the closing cells of the stomata, which leads to their closure and a decrease in water consumption for transpiration. ABA activates a number of TFs that regulate the expression of genes, the products of which are necessary to eliminate the negative consequences of water deficit. ABA-dependent is activation of the genes of antioxidant defense enzymes - superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase and enzymes of the ascorbate-glutathione cycle. Activators of their transcription are NAC, MYB, WRKY, NF-Y, ZFHD and TaERF3 TFs. Expression of LEA genes and dehydrins, which prevent protein aggregation due to dehydration, is ensured by both ABA-dependent and -independent signal transduction pathways, with the help of AREB/ABF, NAC, MYB, WRKY, AP2/EREBP and ZFHD TFs. ABA also activates the biosynthesis of proline - one of the main low-molecular osmoprotectants that accumulate in the cell and ensure the stability of its water regime. Osmolyte accumulation is regulated by MYB, WRKY, NF-Y and TaERF3 TFs. Conclusions. Thus, in the article is considered the regulatory role of ABA in the formation of drought resistance through molecular interactions involving aquaporins, dehydrins, SNRK2 protein kinases, LEA proteins and their genes, as well as genes of transcription factors NAC, MYB, WRKY, NF-Y, AP/ EREBP, ZFHD, DREB. However, due to the complexity of the wheat genome and the polygenicity of the drought resistance trait, there is currently no line of molecular genetic markers for certain alleles of drought resistance genes that would allow predicting the drought resistance of Ukrainian breeding varieties. The molecular genetic mechanisms underlying drought resistance and the identification of genes with the greatest phenotypic effect, as well as the modeling of the work of these genes at different stages of ontogenesis and the involvement of drought resistance alleles in breeding programs, currently require further research.

Este livro delineia o cenário de atuação de emissoras de televisão e examina o desenvolvimento da radiodifusão no Brasil e Reino Unido, construindo um quadro elucidativo sobre os relacionamentos estabelecidos entre emissoras de televisão e seus públicos, que exibe similaridades e contrastes entre práticas nacionais. Os resultados de tal esforço empírico indicam que o sistema britânico altamente regulado favorece o desempenho da porosidade, alavancada por processos, produtos e iniciativas organizacionais inovadores. Em contraste, no sistema brasileiro de radiodifusão desregulada, revelou-se fundamental o papel de instâncias de autorregulação: quando a regulação é insuficiente para fornecer as bases da responsabilização da mídia, há organizações que são compelidas, por vários motivos, a criar mecanismos autorregulatórios para remediar a escassez de dispositivos legais.

Authors: Mazur Chrystian
Published: February 2023

In the oil and gas industry there are many serious hazards. Possible aftereffects of accidents happening on wells producing gas or crude oil could be fatal in consequences. Natural dangers such as high pressures, flammable and explosive fluids, H2S content are making every project demanding and special care should be taken when planning works in harsh conditions. There are many services that could be done to ensure long service life of the production wells and they could be done using slickline services. Slickline is usually good first choice to conduct operations on live wells and risks during this work should be analyzed. Safety measures during work are crucial for people and environment safety. Only after assessing them correctly work could be done securely and in timely manner.
Kinetic modeling of biosorption for hydrocarbons removal from wastewater using modified logistic equation
Authors: Knapik Ewa , Stopa Jerzy
Published: February 2023

Application of raw and modified biomass to remove hydrocarbons from wastewater by adsorption is a common practice. A mathematical modeling of biosorption kinetics is a crucial step to optimize the remediation process. In the present study, kinetic studies were carried out to describe the sorption process of crude oil and water on waste sunflower pith. To increase sorption capacity the pith surface was modified with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and hydrophobic SiO2 nanoparticles. The maximum sorption capacity of raw and modified material was 17.76 and 19.62 g/g for crude oil, respectively. The system reached the equilibrium stage after 24 hours. The uptake profiles have been described by the pseudo-first order rate equation and the pseudo-second order rate equation. The calculated results were compared with experimental data and their fit was poor. To predict biosorption kinetics a new mathematically efficient procedure based on modified logistic equation was developed. The results indicate that the sunflower pith has a great potential for the removal of crude oil from water phase as an eco-friendly process.
Elements of reservoir simulation for tight gas reservoirs with water influx
Authors: Sowa-Zyzańska Magdalena
Published: February 2023

At present, gas obtained from unconventional deposits plays an important role in the global economy as an energy factor. The simulation of the exploitation of this type of deposits is very complex and requires an individual approach for each case, which is extremely inspiring and interesting, therefore this article attempts to deal with the problem of modeling the extraction of natural gas from tight unconventional deposits. Extraction of tight gas requires the use of measures that stimulate this process and requires an unusual approach both at the stage of deposit recognition, its drilling and exploitation. Using computer programs, more and more accurate models are developed taking into account almost all known processes occurring in the deposits during exploitation, which significantly influences the better selection of parameters of wells and operations that intensify the production, and thus improves the results of exploitation.
Polygenic adaptation from standing genetic variation allows rapid ecotype formation
Authors: Fuhrmann Nico , Prakash Celine , Kaiser Tobias S
Published: February 2023

Adaptive ecotype formation can be the first step to speciation, but the genetic underpinnings of this process are poorly understood. Marine midges of the genus Clunio (Diptera) have recolonized Northern European shore areas after the last glaciation. In response to local tide conditions they have formed different ecotypes with respect to timing of adult emergence, oviposition behavior and larval habitat. Genomic analysis confirms the recent establishment of these ecotypes, reflected in massive haplotype sharing between ecotypes, irrespective of whether there is ongoing gene flow or geographic isolation. QTL mapping and genome screens reveal patterns of polygenic adaptation from standing genetic variation. Ecotype-associated loci prominently include circadian clock genes, as well as genes affecting sensory perception and nervous system development, hinting to a central role of these processes in ecotype formation. Our data show that adaptive ecotype formation can occur rapidly, with ongoing gene flow and largely based on a re-assortment of existing alleles.
Comparative analysis of the complete plastomes of nine Pimpinella species (Apiaceae) from China
Authors: Wang Zhixin , Cao Limin , Liu Jianhui , He Xingjin
Published: February 2023

Pimpinella L. is one of the large genera in the Apiaceae family. In a previous study, the molecular phylogenies of Pimpinella were explored using nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and several chloroplast DNA segments. There have been few studies conducted on chloroplast genomes in Pimpinella, which has limited systematic understanding of this genus. We assembled the complete chloroplast genomes of nine Pimpinella species from China using data generated from next generation sequencing (NGS). The chloroplast (cp) DNA used were standard double-stranded molecules, ranging from 146,432 base pairs (bp) (P. valleculosa) to 165,666 bp (P. purpurea) in length. The circular DNA contained a large single-copy (LSC) region, small single-copy (SSC) region, and pair of inverted repeats (IRs). The cp DNA of the nine species contained 82–93 protein-coding genes, 36–37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, respectively. Four species (P. smithii, P. valleculosa, P. rhomboidea, and P. purpurea) exhibited striking distinctions in genome size, gene number, IR boundary, and sequence identity. We confirmed the non-monophyly of the Pimpinella species on the basis of the nine newly identified plastomes. The distant relationship between the above-mentioned four Pimpinella species and Pimpinelleae was indicated with high support values. Our study provides a foundation for future in-depth phylogenetic and taxonomic studies of genus Pimpinella.
Camera-trapping estimates of the relative population density of Sympetrum dragonflies: application to multihabitat users in agricultural landscapes

Published: February 2023

Although camera trapping has been effectively used for wildlife monitoring, its application to multihabitat insects (i.e., insects requiring terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems) is limited. Among such insects, perching dragonflies of the genus Sympetrum (darter dragonflies) are agroenvironmental indicators that substantially contribute to agricultural biodiversity. To examine whether custom-developed camera traps for perching dragonflies can be used to assess the relative population density of darter dragonflies, camera trapping, a line-transect survey of mature adult dragonflies, and a line-transect survey of exuviae were conducted for three years in rice paddy fields in Japan. The detection frequency of camera traps in autumn was significantly correlated with the density index of mature adults recorded during the transect surveys in the same season for both Sympetrum infuscatum and other darter species. In analyses of camera-detection frequency in autumn and exuviae in early summer, a significant correlation was observed between the camera-detection frequency of mature adults and the exuviae-density index in the following year for S. infuscatum; however, a similar correlation was not observed for other darter species. These results suggest that terrestrial camera trapping has the potential to be effective for monitoring the relative density of multihabitat users such as S. infuscatum, which shows frequent perching behavior and relatively short-distance dispersal.
Comparative analysis of physiological responses to environmental stress in Hedysarum scoparium and Caragana korshinskii seedlings due to roots exposure
Authors: Ma Juanli , Wang Huan , Jin Lei , Zhang Ping
Published: February 2023

Hedysarum scoparium and Caragana korshinskii seedlings were used as the test materials to carry out the roots exposure stress model test. By comparing the physiological growth indexes in the leaves of the tested plants, the stress resistance ability was evaluated. The results showed (1) root exposure resulted in excessive oxygen free radicals, which resulted in membrane lipid peroxidation and increased MDA content in two plants. The increase of MDA content in H. scoparium was greater than that in C. korshinskii. (2) H. scoparium mainly regulate their own adaptation to the stress by regulating carotenoids. C. korshinskii adjusts itself to adapt to the stress by regulating chlorophyll. (3) H. scoparium resist this stress mainly by regulating their respiration rate. (4) H. scoparium mainly through the mobilization of proline, by adjusting the proline concentration to reduce their water potential; C. korshinskii reduced its water potential mainly by regulating the concentration of soluble sugar to adapt to the stress. (5) H. scoparium and C. korshinskii activated peroxidase (H. scoparium) and catalase (C. korshinskii) to clean up intracellular peroxides, respectively. To sum up, under the same root exposure ratio, there were significant differences in physiological regulation and morphological indexes between H. and C. korshinskii, but their stress resistance mechanisms were quite different.

Published: February 2023

Background

Caregivers are directly involved in managing the daily basic needs of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The knowledge and attitudes of these caregivers are important to achieving success in their roles. Thus, this study aimed to determine what constitutes good knowledge, attitudes, and associated factors among caregivers toward children with ASD.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 128 caregivers of children with ASD in Kota Bharu, Kelantan from May to August 2020, using convenience sampling. Validated questionnaires were used to assess the knowledge and attitudes toward children with ASD. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 24. Descriptive statistics and simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were then performed.

Results

The response rate was 100%. The proportion of good knowledge and attitudes toward children with ASD among caregivers was 85.1% and 88.3%, respectively. Factors significantly associated with good knowledge were being female (OR (95% CI) 2.79 [0.99–7.90]) and ASD children being non-first-born children (OR (95% CI) 0.41 [0.15–1.12]). Factors significantly associated with good attitudes were age of 30 years and older (OR (95% CI) 0.13 [0.03–0.62]) and caregiver having other children with other types of learning difficulties (OR (95% CI) 0.15 [0.04, 0.52]).

Conclusions

The proportion of caregivers with good knowledge of ASD and good attitudes toward children with ASD was high. The caregiver’s age and sex, the position of the ASD child among the siblings, and the presence of other types of learning disorders in the family need to be considered when managing children with ASD.

Aims: Thai tea is known as Thai ice or "Cha-yen". Apart from Cha Yen or Ceylon other ingredients that may be added to Thai tea are orange water, star anise, sour seeds or red and yellow food coloring and sometimes there are also those who add spices. The purpose of this study is to design a green tea mocca flavor variant that consumers like and combine the green tea mocca flavor variant with seaweed toppings and to find out the proximates and food safety aspects (dyes) of contemporary ice drinks, namely green tea mocca. 

Place and Duration: This research was analyzed at the Makassar Health Laboratory Center from January, 5 to February, 5, 2023.

Study Design: The study (proximate test) was processed descriptively where data was taken from 2 different cafes and then asked to make a taste whose composition and volume comparison had been determined by the researcher. While the sensory test uses an independent T-test. The research data were analysed using analysis of variance  (SPSS version 20).Research parameters are color and nutritional value (rotein and fat) with treatment A1 : hot tea : sweetened condensed milk : Mocca = 50 ml : 12 ml : 15 grams, A2 : hot tea : sweetened condensed milk = 50 ml : 18 ml : 15 grams and A3 = hot tea : sweetened condensed milk : Mocca = 50 ml : 24 ml : 15 grams.

Results: The research result of the addition of differenton sweetened condensed milk gave different proximate test result. The average protein and fat content was the A1 treatment = fat content 0.35% and protein content 0.70%, treatment A2 = fat content 0.36% and protein content 0.80% while A3 = fat content 0.36% and protein content 0.87%. While the sensory test the more sweetened condensed milk given the bitter taste of the mocca cafee the less the thai-tea drink. So that the higher the addition of sweetened condensed milk (A3=24 ml) the more the panelist liked it.

Conclusion: The color combination of the two cafes that compose or design colors is very attractive (25 panelists). While the sensory test the more sweetened condensed milk given the bitter taste of the mocca cafee the less the thai-tea drink. So that the higher the addition of sweetened condensed milk (A3=24 ml) the more the panelist liked it. Proximate quality  A3 = fat content 0.36% and protein content 0.87% Food safety analysis for color also gives safe results (qualitatively negative) and is allowed.

Due to increasing demand for food, industrial applications and biodiesel production on vegetable oils, optimization of oil extraction processes has become imperative to obtain maximum oil yield from vegetable oil feedstocks. The effect of process factors: moisture content, roasting temperature, and time, extraction temperature, and time on oil yield from sandbox seed by solvent extraction were investigated using a 5 × 5 Central Composite Rotatable (Experimental) Design of Response Surface Methodology. Results obtained were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and SPSS statistical tool at (p = 0.05). The optimum conditions predicted were validated by experiments. The American Oil Chemists’ Society AOCS 5-04 standard procedure for solvent extraction was used in the experiment. The oil yield from the sandbox seed ranged from 20.9-53.6%, and was increased at the range (6-10%) moisture content, (80-100°C) roasting temperature, (5-15 min) roasting time, (90-100°C) extraction temperature and (90-150 min) extraction time. The optimum oil yield of 53.6% was obtained at the processing conditions of 10.0% moisture content, 95oC roasting temperature, 15 min roasting time, 65oC extraction temperature, and 90 min extraction time. Mathematical models to predict sandbox seed oil yield at varying process conditions were developed with an R2 (0.81). The optimum extractable oil yield of 57.10% was predicted for sandbox seed at processing conditions of 10.25% moisture content, 98.72oC roasting temperature, 17.63 min roasting time, 67.01oC extraction temperature, and 96.6 min extraction time. The study results provide data for equipment and process designs for oil extraction from the sandbox and other oilseeds.

This study was carried out in the state of Rajasthan, India. Four major crop groups viz; cereals (pearlmillet, maize and wheat), pulses (moong bean, moth bean, kharif pulses and gram), oilseeds (soyabean and rapeseed and mustard) and others (cotton and clusterbean) were selected for analysis. All crops in the above groups with 5% or more area under cultivation in a district were chosen. The districts were selected on the basis of last five years average (2005-06 to 2009-10 Secondary data were collected from published records and reports of the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Government of Rajasthan, Jaipur and official website of Rajasthan Agriculture Department www.krishi.rajasthan.gov.in.

The study period encompassed a duration of 58 years starting from; 1956-57 to 2014-15. The data were also analyzed for twelve different periods by using Markov chain analysis technique for studying the change in cropping pattern.

The study results revealed that the bajra crop was almost stable and cotton crop (except during-2000 to 2005) highly unstable with no retention of their previous area over the periods in the state of Rajasthan, but acreage of the crops was continuously shifting from one crop to another crop throughout the period. However, crops like  kharif pulses, wheat, clusterbean, soyabean and mustard had more retention as compared to gram, cotton and maize during-1956- 57 to 2014-15 indicating its stability in the state.

Mutation breeding has evolved as an efficient tool for creating novel variability. Induced mutagenesis is the method of treating the base material only once, whereas recurrent mutagenesis involves subjecting the first generation (M1) to another dose of mutagen for creating extensive spectrum of genetic variations in the population. Path coefficient analysis in the induced and recurrent irradiated population measures the strength of relationship between yield attributing traits and grain yield, both directly and indirectly. The present investigation was undertaken during Kharif, 2019-20 at the K block, GKVK, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore. The two genotypes of finger millet viz., GPU 28 and KMR 204 have undergone single and recurrent irradiation with different doses of gamma rays (300Gy, 400Gy) and EMS (0.1%) at Bhaba Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai. Observations were recorded for 9 quantitative traits viz., days to 50% flowering, plant height, productive tillers plant-1, ear head plant-1, fingers ear-1, finger length, panicle weight plant-1(g), test weight (g) and grain yield plant-1 (g). The studies on path analysis revealed that panicle weight and test weight established positive and direct effect towards grain yield in the induced population of finger millet. Similarly, in the recurrent irradiated population with gamma rays panicle weight, test weight, finger ear-1, 50% flowering, ear plant-1 and finger length showed direct positive effect for grain yield whereas in the recurrent irradiated population with EMS panicle weight followed by test weight, fingers ear-1, plant height, productive tillers plant-1, finger length and 50 % flowering exhibited direct positive effect for grain yield. Henceforth, direct selection based on grain yield and its attributing traits would benefit in developing high yielding variety in the crop improvement programme of finger millet.
