Authors: Riya K. R. , B. Ajithkumar  , Lincy Davis P. , Laly John C. , A. Latha
Published: April 2023

Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world. Rice is the mainstay of nearly 40% of the world's population. The planting date is critical for ensuring that the crop receives the best weather conditions possible. The duration of phenophases correlated negatively with the maximum temperature. Towards the end of the planting season, the duration is shortening. Plant height was found to have a significant positive correlation with rainfall and a significant negative correlation with temperature. Dry matter accumulation was highest on August 5th, with a positive correlation with relative humidity and a negative correlation with temperature. It was observed that rainfall during heading to 50% flowering had a negative correlation with a number of filled grains. The yield of the crop had a significant negative correlation with rainfall during the flowering to physiological maturity. The planting date is critical to ensuring that the crop receives optimal weather conditions

Authors: Yadav Pankaj , Savita
Published: April 2023

A study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of various substrates in promoting vegetative and reproductive growth of zinnia elegans. The experiment was designed in CRD with three replications and eight treatments: control, peat, coco coir, and conventional substrate (soil + silt + leaf mould, 1:1:1, v/v/v) alone or in varied combinations. The addition of coco coir to peat or peat alone enhanced plant height, leaf area, stem length, and fresh and dry weight of the stem. Plant height and stem length were considerably greater in coco coir-based substrates (P-0.0001 and P-0.0001, respectively). In peat-based and peat + coco coir-based substrates, growth and floral parameters were much higher. The findings demonstrated that coco coir, either alone or in combination with peat, had a beneficial influence on the productivity and quality of speciality cut flower zinnia crops.

Authors: Chetna  , Nisha  , Devi Monika
Published: April 2023

In the present paper, an application of discriminant function analysis of meteorological parameters for developing suitable statistical models to forecast wheat yield in Kurukshetra district of Haryana has been demonstrated. Time series data on wheat yield for 35 years (1985-86 to 2019-20) have been divided into three groups, viz. congenial, normal, and adverse based on de-trended yield distribution. Considering these groups as three populations, discriminant function analysis using weekly data of crop season on five meteorological parameters has been carried out. The discriminant scores obtained from this have been used as regressor variables along with time trend in development of statistical models. In all six procedures using weekly weather data have been proposed. The models developed have been used to forecast the wheat yield for the year 2017-18 and 2019-20 which were not included in the development of the models. It has been found that most of the models provide reliable forecast of the wheat yield about two months before the harvest. However, the model-5 has been found to be the most suitable among all the models developed.

Authors: Sandeep  , Jitender  , Singh Bishan , Kumar Pradeep
Published: April 2023

Several studies have found that using chemical fertilisers on a regular basis has a negative impact on soil health and productivity by altering the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the soil. Organic sources, on the other hand, provide all vital nutrients to plants, but they are insufficient to meet the nutritional needs of the country's crops. In this case, an optimum proportion of organic and inorganic sources should be combined to improve crop quality, crop yield, and soil productivity. This article reviews study that evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management on crop yield, quality and soil productivity.
Effect of Conventional Tillage and Zero Tillage on Different Soil and Yield Parameters
Authors: Kumar Sushil , Rani Vijaya , Kumar Anil , Pannu Rahul , Mor Aman
Published: April 2023

Conservation and conventional tillage directly affects soil environment for crop production. Conservation tillage provides a layer of crop residue which increases soil fertility, soil erosion, leaching of fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides into the ground water. Studies conducted in different climate zones showed that no-tillage resulted in acidification of surface layer when continued for several years compared to conventional tillage. Some study shows Conservation tillage enhance water infiltration rate and reduce moisture evaporation from soil, while some other study stated slower water infiltration rate in no tillage soil then on tilled. surface tillage and no tillage instead of conventional tillage are to control soil erosion, enhance crop performance, and use energy more efficiently. Decomposition of crop residues kept on the soil surface possibly release allele-chemicals which further strengthen the inhibitory effects on weed seed germination and early growth and development of weed plant. As with impact of tillage on root distribution, no-tillage causes greater and deeper water accumulation in the soil profile and greater root growth. Higher labor, animal or equipment requirement is a major drawback of conventional tillage. Conservational tillage allows elimination of several operations, depending on the conservation tillage systems used. Observation of numerous studies reveals that zero-tillage is superior to conventional tillage resulting in higher yields. Similarly several studies reveals that crops grown under zero tillage have yields as similar as or better than those grown under conventional tillage.

Published: April 2023

As claudicações são as afecções que mais afastam equinos dos dias de treinamento e competições esportivas, sendo os membros torácicos os mais acometidos. Apesar do grande avanço na medicina esportiva equina, a analgesia de diagnóstico provavelmente se mantém como uma das ferramentas mais valiosas na identificação da claudicação, com resultado claro e imediato. Muitos casos acabam evoluindo às enfermidades degenerativas crônicas, que tornam-se não responsivas às condutas clínico - cirúrgicas terapêuticas tradicionais, sendo indicado o uso de fármacos ou procedimentos cirúrgicos que promovam a analgesia paliativa “irreversível” ou reversível prolongada, através da interrupção da condução nervosa à região (neurólise). O nervo digital palmar/plantar é o mais submetido à técnica, pois os índices de perda proprioceptiva são mínimos, porém existe a informação de que quanto mais proximal o bloqueio analgésico perineural, maior o déficit motor ocasionado. Visto a escassez de informações sobre estes riscos, este trabalho objetivou realizar a avaliação postural de equinos submetidos aos bloqueios anestésicos com bupivacaína dos nervos palmares, metacárpicos palmares, ulnar, mediano e músculo cutâneo, de forma isolada e em tempos diferentes, buscando identificar possíveis disfunções motoras associadas ao nervo submetido ao bloqueio. Foram avaliados 7 equinos adultos hígidos, sem problemas locomotores e trotadores, em forma de triplicata, em relação aos seguintes testes de reação postural para o membro torácico esquerdo (M.T.E.): Prova de Dorso-flexão do Membro (PDF); Prova de Cruzamento do Membro (PCM); Prova de Deslizamento (PD) e Prova de Obstáculos após bloqueio anestésico perineural com bupivacaína 0,5 %. Concluiu-se que equinos submetidos a bloqueios anestésicos a partir do nervo metacárpico palmar apresentam déficits proprioceptivos que podem pôr em risco a vida do conjunto cavalo/cavaleiro, devendo o uso de agentes neurolíticos serem evitados em equinos atletas em atividade.

Authors: Alencar Fernanda Maria Ribeiro de , Castro Jaelson F. Brelaz
Published: April 2023

Requirements Engineering (RE) is getting more attention as it has been recognized as a crucial phase in the development of the software system life cycle. Recent works have made a distinction between early-phase RE and later-phase RE. Early-phases RE activities are typically informal and addresses non-functional requirements. The later-phase RE usually focuses on completeness, consistency, and automated verification of requirements. In this paper, we show how early and late requirements specifications can be integrated. For the organization modeling we use the i* technique [1], which allows a better description of the organizational relationships among the various agents of a system as well as an understanding of the rationale of the decisions taken. For the formal functional specification of the requirements, we use Structured Modal Action Logic - MAL [2]. Some guidelines are presented for the integration of the two phases. Throughout the paper, we make use of a mineral water factory as an example, to describe the approach.

Published: April 2023

The growth of the software market has leading to an increasing use of development techniques, which are, sometimes, informal ones. The maintenance of such software is problematic, since its documentation rarely reflects the implemented code. In this context Reverse Engineering of Software can help by means of recovering the project information lost during the development phase and documenting the current software state. This article discusses the issues emerged during the application of the method of reverse engineering named Fusion-RE/I. The described experiment is part of the re-engineering of a prototype hypermedia system, which has, as main goal, to adapt it to a Software Engineering domain. Since the target is a hypermedia system, the results obtained during the use of Fusion-RE/I can be registered as a hyperdocument. By doing that, it is possible to observe and analyse some relevant issues concerning the method Fusion-RE/I.

Published: April 2023

Apesar de evidências obtidas em estudos empíricos da eficácia do Teste de Mutação, seu alto custo, decorrente principalmente do grande número de mutantes gerados, tem motivado a proposição de diversas abordagens alternativas para a sua aplicação [1, 2, 3, 16, 19, 20, 27], dentre essas a determinação de conjuntos essenciais de operadores de mutação. Nesse contexto, alguns estudos já foram conduzidos para a determinação de um conjunto essencial de operadores de mutação para as linguagens Fortran e C [2, 3, 20, 27]. A aplicação do teste de mutação no nível de unidade para a linguagem C é apoiada pela ferramenta Proteum, que implementa 71 operadores de mutação [4]. No estudo empírico conduzido por Barbosa [2, 3], utilizando a ferramenta Proteum, foi proposto o procedimento Essencial, contribuindo para a determinação de um conjunto essencial de operadores de mutação para a linguagem C. Explorando o conceito de mutação no teste de integração foi proposto o critério Mutação de Interface [5]. A ferramenta PROTEUM/IM, desenvolvida para apoiar a aplicação do critério Mutação de Interface, possui 33 operadores de mutação desenvolvidos para modelar erros típicos de integração [5]. Este trabalho investiga a aplicação do procedimento Essencial para a determinação de um conjunto essencial de operadores para o teste de integração, contribuindo para o estabelecimento de estratégias de teste incrementais baseadas no teste de mutação que englobe as fases de unidade e de integração.

Published: April 2023

One of the major factors that brings complexity to framework development is the identification of its hot spots, i.e., the framework parts that must be kept flexible as they are specific of individual systems. In this paper we show that pattern languages can be important sources for framework hot spots identification and, consequently, can be used for framework construction. We define the types of hot spots that are identifiable from information presented in the elements of each pattern of the pattern language. We propose also a process for hot spots identification and present a case study for identifying the hot spots of a framework built based on a pattern language for business resource management.

Synonymy from a Prototype Theory Perspective and its Symbiosis with Polysemy: Towards a New Dictionary of Synonyms
Authors: Halas Popović Ana
Published: April 2023

This paper presents an attempt at providing a model for comprehensive, precise and systematic presentation of a word's synonymy within a dictionary entry, especially in the case of highly polysemous words. It is founded on the complementarity of polysemy and synonymy and a prototype-based view of the latter lexical relation. The proposed model is presented through four steps of tailoring an entry in a new dictionary of synonyms: the analysis of a word's polysemous structure, the compilation of a word's synonym sets viewed as prototype-based categories, the definition of synonyms within a set and the structure and organisation of an individual synonym set and the whole entry. Comprehensiveness of synonymy presentation according to the model is reflected in the fact that an entry lists synonym sets corresponding to different senses of the given headword as well as in the tendency for each set to offer a wide range of synonyms. Systematicity and precision in synonymy presentation are achieved primarily due to the application of prototype-based principles to the structuring and organizing of synonym sets and the defining of synonyms. The model also opens up the possibility of a transparent diagram-based visual repre­sentation of a word's synonymy in an electronic dictionary offering a more convenient visual organisation of large amounts of information. Keywords: polysemy, synonymy, symbiosis, complementarity, prototype theory, model, dictionary entry, synonym set, sense defining, entry struc­ture

Authors: Masoumi Gholamreza , Rezai Mahdi , Dehghani Arezoo , Hasanpor Shahindokht , Fatemi Sayyed Kasra
Published: April 2023

Background: National indicators have been defined for the satisfaction and efficiency of emergency services and for evaluating their functionality. These indicators enlighten strengths and areas where improvements can help improve emergency ward quality. Objectives: This study assessed the knowledge of medical specialists and their experiences, especially concerning the effects of these protocols. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted in 2019 in the emergency departments of hospitals affiliated with the Iran University of Medical Sciences. During semi-structured interviews with 20 professors of emergency medicine in 2019, their experiences regarding the effects of these indicators on providing emergency services were evaluated. The data were collected until saturation. All interviews were recorded with the participant’s permission and then transcribed verbatim and analyzed by content analysis method, and their semantic codes were extracted. Results: By analyzing the interviews, 14 subcategories, and four main categories were obtained. Categories and subcategories consisted of providing services to patients (with three subcategories: Improving the quality of medical services, waiting time reduction, and increasing satisfaction), improving emergency efficiency and performance (with five subcategories: Improving conditions, services, communication improvement, resource management, and facilities and equipment), accreditation (with three subcategories: Performance improvement, management and planning, and service quality improvement), and proposed indicators (with three subcategories: Time, capacity, and resources). Conclusions: The recognition of emergency medicine specialists in hospital emergencies is below average, which can affect the manner of providing health services and upgrading national indicators. With more and more familiarity of emergency medicine specialists with the indicators, a step can be taken to improve the status of hospital emergencies, thus determining patients’ tasks faster, reducing the length of stay in the emergency department, increasing patient satisfaction, and improving the performance of the emergency department.

Published: April 2023

Background: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and the probability of having another lesion in patients diagnosed with BCC. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted from 2015 to 2017, based on the data from patients with definitive diagnoses of BCC in two university hospitals in Birjand. In this study, 85 patients with BCC were selected based on pre-defined inclusion criteria and then divided into two groups, including single and subsequent asynchronous lesions in another anatomic area. In this study, the information was collected by census method from diagnosed patients two years after surgery. The subsequent lesions in other anatomical areas were investigated, then tumor risk factors were compared in the two groups. Results: The mean age of the patients was 67.83 ± 12.29, and the youngest and the oldest patients were 38 and 92 years old, respectively. Among the studied patients, 75.3% had a history of sun exposure. The most common occupations of the patients were farmer, rancher, and housekeeper. Head and neck regions were involved in 96.5%. The patients with subsequent asynchronous BCC in another facial skin region were 10.6% (CI95: 4.06 - 17.14). These patients have been subject to several simultaneous risk factors in their medical history; most of them were farmers older than 65 years. Two patients experienced three lesions in three different anatomical regions at different times. There was no statically significant difference between the two groups regarding mean age (P = 0.47), gender (P = 0.73), pathologic subtype (P = 0.06), and other risk factors (P > 0.05). Conclusions: This study confirms the likelihood of having a subsequent lesion in other anatomical regions in patients diagnosed with BCC. Patients with a history of BCC require prolonged follow-up because of the probability of new BCC developing.

Příspěvek se zabývá aplikačním dopadem vybraných pravidel z oblasti transparence kapitálového trhu a jeho ochrany před nedovoleným nakládáním s vnitřními informacemi v kontextu akciových opčních programů používaných emitenty finančních nástrojů k odměňování vybraných osob (reprezentantů exekutivy a vrcholných manažerů společnosti) formou umožnění nabytí účasti na společnosti. Předmětem příspěvku je rovněž zkoumání konkrétních opatření napomáhajících vyvážení požadavku rovného přístupu všech investorů k tržně relevantním informacím na straně jedné a potřeby nastavení funkčních odměňovacích schémat plnících motivační roli na straně druhé. Příspěvek dospívá k závěru, že zkoumaná veřejnoprávní pravidla nelze chápat jen jako faktickou překážku využívání kompenzací spojených s nabytím vlastnického práva k akciím, ale rovněž jako podnět pro parametrické nastavení opčních programů umožňující minimalizovat některá negativa, jež se s tímto kompenzačním nástrojem obvykle pojí.

Authors: Petryshena Olena
Published: April 2023

The modern development of Ukraine’s economy in the conditions of russia's military aggression, concerning the food market, which ensures the material and technical organization of food provision and the food products delivery, depends proportionally on the growth rates of food and fuel prices, the implementation of financial provisions by the State, inflation in the country, the need to follow clear planning methods and strategic forecasting to ensure quality food provision for the military men.

To ensure high-quality nutrition of the military for the normal functioning of the body of servicemen, to increase the level of adaptation capabilities, there is the need to develop an assortment of new food products with a functional purpose. It will allow adjusting the intake of food substances and will contribute to the health preservation and increasing fighting capacity of the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The socio-economic aspect of the organization of food provision for the military men in the updated food provision system is in the importance of providing each deployment point with food, drinking water, and material and technical support in a form close to NATO standards.

A unilaterally castrated male boxer was referred for chronic generalized alopecia and pruritus. Physical examination revealed symmetrical alopecia, pendulous prepuce, lichenification of the scrotum, and enlargement of mammary papillae. Penile/preputial cytology revealed superficial epithelial cells. Transabdominal ultrasonographic examination revealed a globoid mass with heterogenous echogenicity in the left caudal abdomen. The presumptive diagnosis was Sertoli cell tumor (SCT) associated with cryptorchidism. Exploratory laparotomy and histology of the removed mass confirmed the diagnosis. Three weeks after surgery, serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations decreased from 8,435 to 56 ng/ml and inhibin B decreased from 805 to < 6 pg/ml. Two months after surgery dermatoses subsided and there was substantial regression of enlarged nipples. This report highlights the diagnostic value of practical procedures (penile/preputial cytology, transabdominal ultrasonography, and measurement of serum AMH and inhibin B concentrations) to aid in the diagnosis of cryptorchidism and SCT, especially in patients with generalized skin conditions.
Climate Dysmorphia Series
Authors: Tscion Research , Elkhan A J
Published: April 2023

Climate Dysmorphia is a basis that identifies human environmental solutions for natural ecosystems that result in systemic problems negatively impacting environmental continuity. While much of identifying environmental impact focuses on Climate Change, the significance of examining what determines Climate Dysmorphia investigates the prevention of natural climate corrections through human practices meant to improve ecological sustainability. Climate Dysmorphia can also result from climate distortion, misstating climate data to create a reviewed narrative for implementing climate policy based on ideology(Hager, 2010), exaggerating ecological investigations to validate commercial and financial support for more extraordinary sustainability claims (Kolinjivadi, 2022). 
 
Introduction
Climate Dysmorphia is based on the medical term Body Dysmorphia, defined as a mental illness involving obsessive focus on a perceived flaw in appearance. The flaw may be minor or imagined. However, the person may spend hours a day trying to fix it (Bjornsson, Didie, et al., 2010). Climate Dysmorphia identifies the obsession with creating a solution that supersedes the earth's natural ability to resolve ecological imbalances. The earth undergoes evolving ecological adjustments resulting from climate change (Mahajan et al., 2020). However, the dismissal of earth's natural ability to resolve ecological disruptions becomes nullified by industrial and communal adjustments presented as green solutions. Ultimately, Climate Dysmorphia is resolvable if society better understands the earth's complexity and ever-changing, natural ability to adjust.
 
Discussion
During the publishing of climate change research in the 19th Century (Thompson, 2019), much carbon usage during the industrial age showed signs of alterations in air quality and production pollution's effect on the earth. Researchers would take over 100 years to consider non-peer-reviewed, poorly documented discoveries by indigenous, urban, and rural communities' complaints of non-carbon-related ecological disasters caused by climate change policy decisions, initially developed to more sustainable ecosystems (Brigham, Do Vale et al., 2021). This awareness, paired with environmental activism presented to the public, allows societies to be more aware of how they contribute to climate disruption and how companies and state legislatures are responsible for ensuring public safety during infrastructure development and improvements. The problem, climate activism, became an ideological fight of cultural priority versus resolutions to resolve environmental issues that inherently affect more than racial, political, and sustainable needs (Nowshin, 2020).
 
Conclusion
The Climate Distortion Series reviews future research that involves the impact of water dams, adverse effects on ecological systems, debated methods of environmental justice and if those decisions help or hinder equitable results, review of environmental differences with landscapes pre-industrial and during the impact of current green initiatives.

Moartea - Aspecte psihologice, ştiinţifice, religioase, culturale şi filozofice
Authors:   MultiMedia, Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: April 2023

Despre moarte, durere, doliu, viaţa de după moarte şi nemurire. De ce trebuie să murim ca oameni pentru a trăi ca specie. "Nimeni nu vrea să moară. Chiar și cei care doresc să ajungă în cer, nu ar vrea să moară pentru a ajunge acolo. Și totuși, moartea este destinația pe care o împărtășim cu toții. Nimeni nu a scăpat vreodată. Și aşa şi trebuie, pentru că Moartea este foarte probabil cea mai bună invenție a Vieții. Este agentul de schimbare a Vieţii. Ea şterge pe cele vechi pentru a face loc celor noi. În momentul ăsta noul eşti tu, dar într-o zi, nu peste mult timp, vei deveni treptat vechi, și vei fi şters la rândul tău. Îmi pare rău că sună aşa de dramatic, dar este cât se poate de adevărat. Timpul tau este limitat, așa că nu-l irosi trăind viața altcuiva. Ai grijă să nu fii prins în dogme - trăind prin rezultatele gândirii altor oameni. Nu lăsa zgomotul opiniilor altora să înece propria ta voce interioară. Și cel mai important, ai curajul să urmezi inima și intuiția ta. Ele știu cumva deja ce îți dorești tu cu adevărat să devii. Orice altceva este de importanţă secundară." (Steve Jobs)
