Hubungan Etika dan Kode Etik Profesi Hukum dalam Upaya Penegakan Hukum di Indonesia
Authors: Jeverson Simamora
Published: July 2024

Etika profesi adalah standar yang ditetapkan dan diterima oleh kelompok profesi tertentu sebagai panduan atau petunjuk tentang bagaimana membangun dan menjamin kualitas profesi tersebut bagi anggotanya. Fokus penelitian ini terletak pada etika polisi, etika jaksa, etika hakim, etika advokat, dan etika notaris. Ini semua merupakan etika profesi hukum, juga dikenal sebagai etika hukum khusus. Metode penelitian menggunakan jenis penelitian normatif hukum dan melakukan tinjauan peraturan melalui pendekatan perbandingan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hubungan antara etika dan profesi hukum membentuk kerangka institusional yang melaksanakan serangkaian fungsi paling penting dalam fungsi sosial, terutama dalam pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan humaniora serta bidang pendidikan. Selama proses implementasi, profesi-profesi ini tidak selalu bergerak secara otomatis berdasarkan keyakinan terhadap pentingnya fungsi mereka, melainkan dapat dipengaruhi secara signifikan oleh berbagai interaksi kekuatan sosial. Etika dalam profesi hukum memainkan peran sangat penting dalam mencapai penegakan hukum yang adil. Oleh karena itu, etika dalam profesi hukum (kode etik profesi) adalah bagian yang sangat penting dalam mengatur perilaku pelaksana hukum, mewakili penegakan hukum yang adil.
Ketegangan Hukum Konflik Antara Hukum Nasional dan Hukum Internasional
Authors: Abdul Rahman
Published: July 2024

Dilema hukum muncul ketika hukum domestik suatu negara bertentangan dengan hukum internasional dalam konteks globalisasi dan hubungan internasional yang kompleks. Dilema ini menciptakan masalah rumit sehubungan dengan melanggar hukum, membuat kebijakan, dan melindungi hak asasi manusia. Konflik dan kesalah pahaman sering diakibatkan oleh kurangnya kepatuhan antara norma-norma hukum nasional dan internasional. Dalam hal suatu negara mematuhi hukum internasional, ini mungkin bertentangan dengan negara yang ada Dalam proses penyelesaian sengketa ini, beberapa negara mungkin merasa perlu untuk menyesuaikan hukum nasional mereka dengan standar internasional. Tetapi proses ini tidak selalu berjalan lancar dan dapat mengakibatkan perkembangan resistensi di tingkat domestik. Sebaliknya, upaya untuk memodifikasi hukum nasional dapat mengurangi ketidakpatuhan terhadap norma-norma internasional, dengan potensi konsekuensi diplomatik dan hukum internasional. Mengingat kebingungan hukum ini, penting untuk menyelidiki kekakuan yang efektif.

Authors: Hichem Hebia, Hamdi Djalila Imane, Kouadria Noureddine
Published: July 2024

Local communities are the basis for building development, especially the economy at the regional level. The municipality represents the basic base of the state, as it enjoys legal personality and financial independence. The Municipal People’s Council is considered the decentralized base in the government system and the place of citizen participation in the management of the public affairs of the municipality. Based on this study, I tried to know the various governance systems for local administration at the world level, highlighting their sources of funding and the extent of activating decentralization in them. We also touched on the governance system for local administration at the level of Algeria, while highlighting the most important development programs, which were accompanied by legal amendments. The aim of the study was to determine the municipality’s potential to build a strong local economy within its geographical area. In order to further clarify the role of the local economy, we studied a case of the municipality of Ain Azel, Setif Province, and took it as a model through which we can give a glimpse into the reality of the local economy.

Published: July 2024

Really, in the past, business organization and some governmental establishments have little or no idea of the duties of professional secretary in their sectors. Actually some executives fail to distinguish between the Professional Secretary and a mere Copytypist, due to the fact, that both staff are given common place in general office or typing pool. The executives are flocked with numerous opinions that professional secretary is a mere typist staff in the services, as such fails to provide modern equipment and facilities for his/her efficient duties. Inwardly, many people look at secretaries as “drop-outs” or those who cannot advance to secondary education. Other staff ridicule, disrespect both female and male secretaries for -reasons due to the way the Chief Executives treat them. However, the defamatory idea or opinion that secretary belongs to the less privileged has dropped due to better understanding in educational system. They are beginning to realize that Secretary is live wire of any organization. In fact, the earlier they realize this fact, the better for the future development of Nigeria companies. Therefore, this paper seeks to discuss the relevance of secretarial training and the need of the employers in the Nigeria labour market.

The role of the secretary has changed as management philosophies in the business world have changed. the effective performance of the professional secretary depends upon the office equipment, knowledge and skills of professional secretary. Secretaries play an essential role in any work organization, but their contributions and support in the daily management activities are not always recognized. This paper looks into how to promote employer's success through secretarial profession, services and proper stress management in our present jet age. The paper discusse the duties of professional secretaries, how to manage stress and competencies required by a professional secretary for employer's success. The paper concludes with the fact that Secretary often acts as an information and reference point for the organization and other committee members. It is discovered that for the employer to be successful, professional secretary is in the position to manage and minimize potential stressors that could negatively affect the health of the organization. It thus recommends, among others, that for secretarial profession to continue promoting employer's success, professional secretaries need to be more concerned with updating their skills on shorthand, typewriting/key boarding at appropriate speed, good command of English language, knowledge of the organization, stress management skills, modern equipment, modern office technology, personnel psychology and acquiring more useful experiences through trainings, conferences, intimating themselves with the global office world through the internet.

Vortex beam (VB) is a structured light beam with a helical wavefront and carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). Compared with Gaussian beam, the VB possesses the rotational Doppler effect (RDE), which is anticipated to compensate for the shortcoming of traditional detection methods in the spin motion of the target object. However, in practical applications, the rotational speed measurement technology based on the VB is facing some challenges, such as weak echo signal intensity due to low vortex beam light power and OAM spectrum expansion caused by off-axis incidence of the vortex beam. These above-mentioned problems directly limit the accuracy and application range of rotational speed measurement. To expand the application range of detection scheme based on the VB, we study the measurement scheme of the target rotational speed based on the combined vortex beam (CVB), which is on the basis of the experimental device for rotational speed measurement with CVB generated by fibre laser arrays. Firstly, the OAM spectra of the off-axis incidence situation are simulated. According to the simulation results, we derive a general model of the peak distribution of echo signals under the off-axis incidence, and propose a rotational speed measurement scheme based on the frequency interval between adjacent spectral peaks. Secondly, we carry out the target rotational speed measurement experiment in off-axis incidence case, and the difference in frequency between two adjacent spectral peaks is obtained from the spectrum map of the echo signal to measure the rotational speed of the target object. The results show that the target rotational speed can be accurately measured regardless of the lateral displacement and angular deflection in the case of off-axis incidence, which confirms the validity of the universal model for rotational speed measurement. The rotational speed measurement scheme proposed in this study takes into consideration the off-axis incidence prevalent in practical application, thereby improving the applicability in the target object rotational speed measurement, and providing technical reference for remote sensing detection application based on the VB.

Quantum phase transition is an important subject in the field of quantum optics and condensed matter physics. In this work, we study the quantum phase transition of the two-mode Dicke model by using the nonlinear atom-light interaction introduced into the interaction between one mode light field and atom. The spin coherent variational method is used to study macroscopic multi-particle quantum systems. Firstly, the pseudo spin operator is diagonalized to obtain the variational fundamental state energy functional by means of spin coherent state transformation under the condition of coherent state light field. The energy functional is used to find the extreme value of the classical field variable, and the second derivative is determined to find the minimum value, and finally the exact solution of the ground state energy is given. Four different proportional relationships are used to study the two-mode optical field, and the rich structure of macroscopic multi-particle quantum states is given by adjusting atom-optical nonlinear interaction parameters under the experimental parameters. The abundant ground state properties such as bistable normal phase, coexisting normal-superradiation and atomic population inversion under blue and red detuning are presented. The nonlinear atom-light interaction causes blue detuning, and there is also a second-order quantum phase transition from the normal phase to the superradiation phase in the standard two-mode Dicke model. In the case of red detuning, a novel and stable reversed superradiation phase also appears. With the increase of the coupling coefficient, the reversed superradiation phase is transformed into the reversed normal phase. The nonlinear interaction between atoms and light and the different ratio of two modes of light field have great influence on the phase boundary of quantum phase transition, and the region of quantum state, as shown in Fig. (a)–(d).

When the nonlinear interaction takes two definite values, the curve of the ground state physical parameters changing with the coupling parameters of atoms and light also reflects the novel second-order inverse quantum phase transition from the reversed superradiation phase to the reversed normal phase in red detuning, as shown in Fig. (a1)–(d3).

High altitude cosmic ray observatory (LHAASO) is located at Haizi Mountain in Daocheng county, Sichuan province, China. Its wide field of view Cherenkov telescope array (WFCTA) is primarily used to study cosmic rays through observing the Cherenkov light signals produced during extensive air showers. Calibration, simulation, and reconstruction of WFCTA are all related to atmospheric depth. The atmospheric depth model currently used is the US standard atmosphere depth profile model. In this study, the US standard atmosphere depth profile model is compared with the atmospheric depth profile recorded by the infrared radiometer SABER carried by the satellite TIMED at LHAASO from 14 km to 50 km, and also with the atmospheric depth recorded by the ground meteorological station at LHAASO. The atmospheric depth obtained from the US standard atmosphere model is consistently smaller. The MSISE-90 atmospheric model describes the neutral temperature and density from the Earth's surface to the thermosphere. Further research shows good consistency between the MSISE-90 atmospheric model and the atmospheric depth recorded by TIMED/SABER and the ground standard meteorological station at LHAASO. According to the MSISE-90 atmospheric model, the average atmospheric depth profile at LHAASO is lowest in January, followed sequentially by February, March, April, November, and December, which are also the optimal observation months for WFCTA operation. The atmospheric boundary layer is highest in April, with the diurnal variation of atmospheric depth being about 2%. Using the functional form of the US standard atmosphere odel, the monthly atmospheric depth profile of the LHAASO site is obtained by fitting an atmospheric depth profile of 4.4 to 100 km per month. And the comparison between the lateral distribution of the Cherenkov photons produced by 100 TeV cosmic-ray protons incident at a zenith angle of 30° in the MSISE-90 atmospheric model and that in the US standard atmosphere model shows that their maximum difference reaches about 20%.

Many active substances in nature are in complex environments, such as animal populations passing through the jungles, microorganisms migrating in the soil, and bacteria designed to sense the porous environment of tumors. The behavior of active substances in complex environments is a subject worth exploring, because they have great application significance in biophysics, medical engineering, and industrial fields. In this work, we use active dumbbells to represent bacteria and other active substances with shape anisotropy, and use Langevin dynamics simulation to study their permeation behaviors in finite porous media. We find that under low temperature and appropriate activity, active dumbbells can aggregate inside and outside the medium and form four stable aggregation structures, they being hollow giant aggregation, hollow aggregation in medium, dense giant aggregation, and dense aggregation in medium. The aggregation is caused by the small space of the medium region, and the geometric trap is easily formed when the active dumbbells meet in the medium. Unlike motility-induced phase separation, the formation of such an aggregation relies on the assistance of obstacles. The persistence of directional motion determines the degree of aggregation of active dumbbells. There are significant differences among the four aggregation structures in density distribution, polar order parameter, and thermodynamic temperature inside and outside the medium. Under certain conditions, the disorder of medium arrangement can promote the aggregation behavior of active dumbbells, and the increase of lattice constant makes it easier for active dumbbells to form dense aggregation. Our research findings contribute to a more in-depth understanding of the life activities of active substances in complex environments, thus providing new ideas for designing microfluidic devices, drug delivery and other medical operations.
Superconducting gap modulations: Are they from pair density waves or pair-breaking scattering?

Published: July 2024

In his seminal work published in Acta Physica Sinica in 1965, Yu Lu pointed out that the superconducting gap exhibits weak modulations near the pair-breaking magnetic impurity in a superconductor. In the past ten year, a series high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy works reported weak superconducting gap modulations in certain superconductors and explained these phenomena as pair density waves. In line with Yu Lu’s discovery, Lee D H et al. pointed out that in many cases, the interference effect of pair-breaking scattering can also lead to superconducting gap modulations in space. We will discuss the distinction and unification of these two kinds of mechanisms, as well as their relevance to recent experimental observations.

Este trabalho analisa Las cartas que no llegaron, do escritor uruguaio Mauricio Rosencof. Objetiva-se a apreensão da dinâmica discursiva que a obra instaura por meio das imbricações entre memória e identidade na constituição do sujeito frente à catástrofe histórica materializada em genocídio, ditadura, tortura e silenciamento. Narrativa manifestamente híbrida, em que se mesclam diferentes gêneros afins à escrita autobiográfica e de testemunho, a obra articula, a partir da carta enquanto instrumento e símbolo de mediação, uma dialética entre dito e interdito, entre memória e esquecimento, entre um passado irrecuperável e a necessidade de dizê-lo ainda que se recorra à ficção.

Introduction: Water is one of the important natural resources available for mankind for its survival. In rural Karnataka, there are 1,182,990 wells, out of which 131,305 are covered wells, and 1,051,685 are uncovered. This highlights the threat to safe and potable drinking water. Aim: To assess the physical, chemical, and microbiological qualities of well water situated in the field practice area of Mangaluru, Karnataka, India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the year 2019, between July and August, in the rural area of Kinya Panchayat, Ullal Taluk, Dakshina Kannada District. This area serves as the field practice area of Yenepoya Nursing College, Yenepoya deemed to be University. This pilot project was a timebound study, and all twenty wells available were conveniently included in the study and comprised dug and ring residential and government wells utilised by residents for drinking and domestic purposes. Water collection followed World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines. Baseline data included the age of the wells, colour, odour, and chlorination of the well water. Chemical parameters such as pH levels and bacteriological assessments to identify the presence of Escherichia coli, H2 S, and Most Probable Number (MPN) bacterial counts were conducted using laboratory tests. Results: The colour of all 20 (100%) well water sources met WHO standards. The water was odourless in all 20 (100%) sources. The mean age of the wells was five years. The majority, 17 (85%) of the wells, were never chlorinated. Moreover, 17 (85%) of the well water sources had a pH level of ≤7, while 3 (15%) had a pH level of >7. E. coli bacteria were present in threefourths of the well water (17 wells, 85%). No other organisms were found during testing. Ten (50%) of the well water sources had a bacterial count of 351-550 MPN {Most Probable Number (MPN) of bacteria} per 100 mL, 7 (35%) had a count of 151-350 MPN per 100 mL, and 3 (15%) had a count of less than or equal to 150 MPN per 100 mL. The results indicate that 17 (85%) of the wells’ water was not satisfactory for potable purposes, while 3 (15%) were deemed satisfactory. Conclusion: Water sources in the studied area were found to be contaminated, with most of the well water sources not meeting satisfactory potable standards. This underscores the importance of raising awareness, implementing routine monitoring, and conducting consistent and periodic examinations of drinking water, as well as disinfection processes, to address this issue.

Published: July 2024

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients are more prone to traumatic injury due to a short shuffling gait and skeletal muscle rigidity. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic syndrome that affects all vital systems, including the autonomic nervous system. Cardiac autonomic neuropathy affects the conducting system of the heart, producing cardiac arrhythmias and silent ischaemia. Here, the authors report a case of head injury with Extradural Haematoma (EDH) in a 81 year old geriatric male patient posted for EDH evacuation. Emergency craniotomy in this patient with pre-existing PD, diabetes mellitus, and new-onset atrial flutter presents a significant challenge in anaesthetic management. In addition to that, chronic alcoholism further necessitates the selection of appropriate anaesthetic techniques and vigilant perioperative management to prevent intraoperative cardiac arrhythmias, hypotension, heart failure, and pulmonary oedema.

Published: July 2024

В зимний период 2023-2024 гг. отмечено уникальное явление активности и скопления ценных промысловых видов рыб в дельте р. Дон. Эти явно нехарактерные массовые скопления рыбы, ее раннее созревание, несмотря на низкие температуры воды, можно связать с действием комплекса факторов, которые были спровоцированы тем, что с 16.12.2023 г. происходил большой сброс воды из Цимлянского водохранилища. Водность Дона у станицы Раздорской с учетом стока Северского Донца стала резко нарастать - с 760-780 м1 2 3/с в начале февраля 2024 г. до 1100 м3/с к 29.02-01.03.2024 г. Несмотря на сильные восточные ветры (до 20 м/с), уровень воды в гирле Свином и в рукавах Дона был на 50-60 см выше, чем при стонах в прошлые годы. Зафиксирован аномально высокий уровень воды, обусловленный сбросом талых вод из Цимлянского водохранилища. Вероятно, этот увеличенный сток «выдавил» часть популяции пресноводных рыб, зимующих в глубоких местах Дона и в близких водотоках в низовьях реки, а также привел в активность местные популяции сазана и карася. На взморье Таганрогского залива рыба выйти уже не могла, так как устья проток и рукавов дельты Дона сильно обмелели с момента зарегулирования стока и оказались перегорожены порогами и отмелями.

Published: July 2024

Canarium ovatum (Pili) Pulp was widely cultivated in the town of Allen, Northern Samar, Philippines. In Allen, Northern Samar produces 60 to 100 kilograms per year every tree. The pili can used in various aspects like oil and soap production, fuel, sweet candies and bread stuffing, and used in traditional medicines for its nutritional benefits. Thus, this study focuses on characterizing the Pili extract using Ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer. Physical properties were determined in terms of boiling point, color, density, odor, pH, and solubility. Likewise, the nutritional content was determined in terms of ash content, carbohydrates, crude fats, crude protein, and moisture content. Lastly, to characterize the Pili pulp, a UV-vis spectrophotometer was used to determine and quantify the nutraceutical content of the plant sample. Results showed that, Pili pulp has a lower boiling point than water, an orange color, with unpleasant odor, density less than water, slightly acidic, and exhibited a polar nature. Subsequently, proximate analysis revealed that ash content has a high mineral concentration and, also, carbohydrates can contribute for energy source. The presence of crude fats indicates essential fatty acids necessary for maintaining cellular structure. On the other hand, crude protein offers health diet as well as low moisture content of plant sample implies a longer shelf-life and reduced microbial growth. Correspondingly, spectra analysis of UV-vis indicates among phytochemical screening tested for positive results and promoting possible applications in developing natural remedies. Therefore, the findings provide evidence as therapeutic advantages for characterization and evaluation which produce health and economic benefits for individuals, businesses, farmers and government agencies.

Ohdo syndrome is extremely rare and comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by intellectual disability (ID) and typical facial features, including blepharophimosis, ptosis, dental hypoplasia, hearing impairment and intellectual disability. So far, fewer than 30 patients have been reported with Ohdo syndrome, with a prevalence of 1/1 000 000. Most reported cases are sporadic, except the original cases of ohdo who described two affected sisters and a first cousin, suggesting autosomal recessive inheritance. Autosomal dominant, X-linked- and mithochondrial inheritance have also been suggested. 
We report the case of a 5-year-old girl, born to healthy, non-consanguineous parents, with no other family members known to be affected by a similar disorder. She exhibited significant dysmorphic facial features, including blepharophimosis, dental hypoplasia, hypertélorism, rétrognatism, microcephaly, trigonocéphaly, microphthalmia, nasolabial furrow, badly hemmed ear, and a pointed palate.  These features were associated with psychomotor and growth retardation of less than 2 Standard deviations. Using whole exome sequencing (WES), we discovered the variant NM_005120.3 (MED12):c.6352C>T(p.Gin2118Ter)  in the heterozygous state  and its absence in the parents, confirming the de novo nature of this variant, which is compatible with the diagnosis of ohdo syndrome due to a heterozygous mutation of the MED 12.

The alarming security threats in the internet world continually raise critical concerns among individuals, organizations and governments alike. The sophistication of cyber-attacks makes it imperative for a paradigm shift from traditional approaches and measures for quelling the attacks to modern sophisticated, digital and strategic ones, such as those involving machine learning and other technologies of artificial intelligence (AI). This study is aimed at examining machine learning (ML) strategies for effective cyber security. ML involves using algorithms and statistical models to enable computers learn from and make decisions or predictions based on data. The study relied on secondary data, which were subjected to a systematic review. The results of its thematic and qualitative analyses prove that majority of the literatures allude to the fact that the maximal performance abilities and tactics of the ML constitute its strategies for quelling cyber security. These include its: early detection of threats that are tackled before they cause damages; ability to analyze huge quantity of data quickly and accurately; and processing of datasets in real-time. The study argues that the noted abilities and tactics constitute ML strategies for quelling cyber security, regardless of its challenges like data quality, security vulnerabilities and possible incidences of bias. The study concludes that ML can indeed be used to detect and respond to threats in real-time, ascertain patterns of malicious behavior, and improve on internet security, which thereby prove it to be a viable tool for quelling cyber security.

Phytoremediation is a cost-effective and environment-friendly approach to remediate or clean our environment using plants by accumulating contaminants. Helianthus annuus L., commonly named sunflower is known to be a hyperaccumulator of heavy metals from the soil. This study focuses on using sunflowers for the phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil, specifically Arsenic (As), Lead (Pb), ad Mercury (Hg). The researcher collected soil samples in the months of March – April 2024 at the Catarman Sanitary Landfill located at Sitio Banihit, Catarman, Northern Samar, and were analyzed for pH, Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P), and Potassium (K) test using a Soil Test Kit (STK) from the Bureau of Soils and Water Management – Department of Agriculture, and detected the presence of As, Pb, and Hg using qualitative analysis. The analysis showed that the soil is slightly acidic, has low nitrogen, high phosphorus, and sufficient potassium, that is an indication of heavy metal contamination, and is good for metal uptake and accumulation in plant. The researcher planted sunflower using the collected soil samples. Leaves were extracted after one (1) month and two (2) weeks, and tested for physical properties in terms of pH, density, and solubility. Results showed that sunflower leaves extract is slightly acidic with an average pH of 6.94., density of 1.00 g/ml, and shows a polar property. The plant sample was also analyzed using Colorimetric analysis for Arsenic, Flame AAS for Lead, and Cold Vapor AAS for Mercury. Findings revealed that the concentration of these three (3) heavy metals are below the detection limit. But in small concentrations, exposure to these heavy metals still poses a great threat to living organisms. Using sunflower plants of about four (4) months of more could further be tested for possible detection of considerable amount of heavy metal uptake.

Agriculture plays a vital role in supporting the world's population, but it faces challenges like declining water availability and ecological problems caused by concentrated traditional farming. As cities grow and demand for food rises, there is a need for new agricultural methods. Vertical farming is an emerging technology that offers a promising solution to the challenges of global food security. Its controlled conditions eliminate the need for excessive fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in significantly increased yields compared to conventional farming. As the world's population continues to grow and urbanization increases, the  demand for food in cities rises, making smart urban-vertical farming an attractive option. The technology's efficiency in land and water usage, along with reduced transportation and storage costs, enhances its economic viability. Moreover, regions facing threats from soil degradation and water scarcity, can benefit from vertical farming's potential water savings of up to 95 per cent and land productivity twice as high as traditional agriculture. The global vertical farming  market is projected to grow, offering a promising tool for sustainable food production and resilient urban environments. Vertical farming presents a novel approach to address the challenges of food production and sustainability in the coming decades, fostering a balanced coexistence with nature while meeting the needs of a growing global population. By embracing vertical farming alongside other sustainable agricultural practices, can meet the global food security in future.

Published: July 2024

Aim: To assess the effect of AI based irrigation scheduling approaches and drip irrigation methods on soil chemical properties and yield  in chilli.
Study Design: The study employs drip irrigation methods as the main plots and irrigation scheduling approaches as the subplots. A split plot design was chosen as suitable design because the main plots (drip irrigation methods) need a bigger plot sizes and subplots (irrigation scheduling approaches) requires more precise results with smaller plot sizes.
Place and Duration of Study: Water Technology Centre field, College Farm, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during rabi 2022-23 (first year) and 2023-24 (second year).
Methodology: The investigation consisted of two drip irrigation methods as main plots and four irrigation scheduling approaches as subplots with total of 8 treatment combinations replicated thrice. Data recorded on various parameters was subjected to scrutiny by ANOVA technique for split plot design concept.
Results: Green (fresh) fruit and stalk yield was found to be significantly higher under subsurface drip (41859 and 5037 kg ha-1) among drip irrigation methods; whereas, among irrigation scheduling approaches, ET sensor based irrigation triggering resulted in significantly higher green (fresh) fruit and stalk yield (43139 and 5196 kg ha-1) followed by irrigation scheduling at 1.0 Epan by manual (control) (42235 and 5065 kg ha-1). The post-harvest soil chemical properties were found to be non-significantly influenced by drip irrigation methods and irrigation scheduling approaches.
Conclusions: Subsurface drip and ET sensor based irrigation triggering resulted in higher fruit and stalk yield which might be recommended for conserving irrigation water and reducing labour use. Whereas, the drip irrigation methods and irrigation scheduling approaches did not exert any significant influence on chemical properties of post-harvest soil.

Published: July 2024

This study determined the prevalence of virulence genes in 23 non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) isolates obtained from layer breeds of an organized poultry farm in Pantnagar, India. Eight virulence genes viz. sipA, sopE1, fliC, mgtC, spvC, gipA, sopB, and stn were detected using the PCR technique. The most prevalent gene was sipA (95.65%), followed by sopB (73.91%), sopE1 (60.87%), stn (56.52%), fliC (47.83%), mgtC (30.43%), spvC (13.04%) and gipA (13.04%). Among all the isolates, one isolate didn’t show the presence of any virulence genes and none of the isolates harbored all the virulence genes screened. This study shows the high prevalence of virulence genes in NTS strains isolated from layers. Thus, continuous monitoring and surveillance of non-typhoidal Salmonella for virulence and its potential risks to humans and animals must be carried out.
