Metodología para el diagnóstico de la integralidad de la extensión en la formación universitaria
Authors: Monge Hernández Carmen , Boni Aristizábal Alejandra
Published: April 2023

This work offers a diagnostic methodology of three crucial dimensions for extension management of the integral university that demands the present and challenges the fragmented management of its substantive processes, a tendency still prevalent. These dimensions are the current state of integration of university substantive processes in vocational training; the development of student capabilities focused on being and serving rather than having, from capabilities approach; and the commitment of the university to the promotion of a culture of peace and equity. The dimensions have an inextricable dialectical relationship and contribute to struggle for a better world. The purpose is to assess the flexibility of the diagnostic methodology of teaching integrality from the extension function to be applied in any university, whose purpose is integral formation of its students and promotion of a culture of peace and respect for diversity. Apart from dissimilar denominations used to refer to university extension, this work contributes to spaces of university extension integrality and professional models. In this research, the study of scientific bibliography, modeling, in-depth interviews, and participant observation were used as fundamental methods. It is concluded that comprehensive training is imposed where the extension cannot be ignored and the necessary promotion of a culture of peace and equity to face new challenges for higher education in pursuit of human development.
De Davos a Buenos Aires. La creación del emprendedorismo como política educativa
Authors: Canovas Herrera Gisela
Published: April 2023

Desde principios del siglo XXI la promoción del “espíritu emprendedor” de la ciudadanía se convirtió en una propuesta de política pública que se ha trasladado al campo de la educación. En Argentina, estas propuestas fueron principalmente impulsadas por el gobierno de Propuesta Republicana (PRO) en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Este trabajo reconstruye la dimensión global del emprendedorismo y da cuenta, por un lado, de su construcción como política educativa en “redes globales” en las que participan organismos internacionales y actores del mundo empresarial y de la sociedad civil. Por otro lado, muestra el entrelazamiento con el contexto local y la forma en la que los fenómenos globales influyen, pero no determinan los modos en que los gobiernos diseñan las políticas.
Steuermotivierte Wertpapiergeschäfte als handelsgestützte Marktmanipulation
Authors: Florstedt Tim
Published: April 2023

Bei der Aufarbeitung steuermotivierter Aktiengeschäfte um Dividendenstichtage geraten die sog. Cum/Cum- und Cum/Ex-Geschäfte inzwischen auch ins Blickfeld der Kapitalmarkt- und Börsenaufsicht: Die Benutzung der Handelseinrichtungen deutscher Börsen zur Steuervermeidung und -hinterziehung wirft die Frage auf, ob mit Blick auf verfälschte Aktien- oder Derivatkurse auch der Vorwurf einer handelsgestützten Marktmanipulation zu erheben ist. Neben den beachtlichen Sanktionsfolgen, die mit einer Marktmanipulation verknüpft sind, geht es auch um die Frage, wer für die Kontrolle eines solchen „Aktienhandels“ zuständig ist: die Aufsicht oder bloß die Finanzverwaltung. Die Antwort hat bleibende Bedeutung, wenn man die Unterbindung einer solchen „Steuerarbitrage“ in Zukunft wirksamer als bisher sicherstellen will.

Published: April 2023

Die Vermögensanlage privater Haushalte befindet sich im Wandel. Insbesondere die fortschreitende Digitalisierung und die zunehmende Zahl an Selbstentscheidern haben in den letzten Jahren neue Anbieter und Geschäftsmodelle geschaffen, die etablierte Konzepte in der Vermögensanlage herausfordern. Eine zentrale Rolle spielen Neobroker, die ihren Kunden eine einfache, intuitive und kostengünstige Partizipation am Kapitalmarkt versprechen. Der vorliegende Artikel beleuchtet in diesem Zusammenhang den Einsatz von Praktiken zur Incentivierung der Interaktion des Kunden mit dem Broker, sog. Digital Engagement Practices (DEPs). Hierzu erfolgt zunächst eine kritische Einordnung von DEPs vor dem Hintergrund potenziell unterschiedlicher Interessen von Investoren und Neobrokern. Darüber hinaus werden auf Basis aktueller Erkenntnisse aus der verhaltenstheoretisch fundierten finanzwirtschaftlichen Forschung (Behavioral Finance) die Konsequenzen des Einsatzes von DEPs erörtert. Abschließend erfolgt eine rechtliche Einordnung anhand der aktuellen Gesetzeslage und ein Blick auf künftige Herausforderungen in der Gesetzgebung.
Die Neuregelung von Bilanzkontrolle und Abschlussprüfung im Jahr 2021 – Meinungsstand und Evolution des Gesetzentwurfs zum FISG

„Erst wenn (kapitalmarktseitige) Offenlegungspflichten durch eine wirksame Um- und Durchsetzungsinfrastruktur sekundiert werden, können diese tatsächlich bestehende Informationsasymmetrien im Kapitalmarkt abbauen und so zur Steigerung zur Markteffizienz beitragen.“ In kaum einer Frage kumuliert sich der Gehalt dieser Aussage (vgl. Berninger 2020, S. 35) gegenwärtig stärker als in der Diskussion um ein effektives System der (externen) Bilanzkontrolle. Der Fall Wirecard hat hier zuletzt tradierte (deutsche) Ansätze auf eine harte Probe gestellt und den Gesetzgeber zu einer umfangreichen Novellierung veranlasst. Doch ist die Abkehr vom zweistufigen Enforcement wirklich der große Wurf oder nur ein „Schnellschuss“? Der Beitrag widmet sich hierzu dem Gesetzgebungsprozess des FISG und analysiert insbesondere, welche externen Interessensgruppen sich mit Kritik und Anregungen zum System der Bilanzkontrolle in den Gesetzgebungsprozess eingebracht und in welcher Form diese Beiträge Eingang in den verabschiedeten Gesetzentwurf gefunden haben.

Published: April 2023

In today's world, the ability to think computationally is essential. The skillset expected of a computer scientist is no longer solely based on the old stereotype but also a crucial skill for adapting to the future. This perspective presents a new educational challenge for society. Everyone must have a positive attitude toward understanding and using these skills daily. One thousand two hundred seven documents about computational thinking (CT) may be found while searching the Scopus database from 1987 to 2023. Data from Scopus were analyzed using VOSviewer software. This study educates academics by delving into the fundamentals of what is known about the CT of visual and quantitative research skills. This approach allows for a more in-depth look at the literature and a better understanding of the research gap in CT. This bibliometrics analysis demonstrates that (1) research on CT is common to all sciences and will develop in the future; (2) the majority of articles on CT are published in journals in the fields of education, engineering, science and technology, computing and the social sciences; (3) the United States is the most dominant country in CT publications with a variety of collaborations; (4) keywords that often appear are CT, engineering, education, and mathematics, and (5) research on CT has developed significantly since 2013. Our investigation reveals the beginnings and progression of the academic field of research into CT. Furthermore, it offers a road map indicating how this study area will expand in the coming years.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Primary care pediatricians (PCP) are often called on to manage child and adolescent anxiety and depression. The objective of this study was to describe PCP care practices around prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) for patients with anxiety and/or depression by using medical record review.

METHODS

We identified 1685 patients who had at least 1 visit with a diagnosis of anxiety and/or depression in a large primary care network and were prescribed an SSRI by a network PCP. We randomly selected 110 for chart review. We reviewed the visit when the SSRI was first prescribed (medication visit), immediately previous visit, and immediately subsequent visit. We abstracted rationale for prescribing medication, subspecialist involvement, referral for psychotherapy, and medication monitoring practices.

RESULTS

At the medication visit, in 82% (n = 90) of cases, PCPs documented reasons for starting an SSRI, most commonly clinical change (57%, n = 63). Thirty percent (n = 33) of patients had documented involvement of developmental-behavioral pediatrics or psychiatry subspecialists at 1 of the 3 visits reviewed. Thirty-three percent (n = 37) were referred to unspecified psychotherapy; 4% (n = 4) were referred specifically for cognitive behavioral therapy. Of 69 patients with a subsequent visit, 48% (n = 33) had documentation of monitoring for side effects.

CONCLUSIONS

When prescribing SSRIs for children with anxiety and/or depression, PCPs in this network documented appropriate indications for starting medication and prescribed without subspecialist involvement. Continuing medical education for PCPs who care for children with these conditions should include information about evidence-based psychotherapy and strategies for monitoring potential side effects.

Published: April 2023

The research is devoted to analysis of the development of ecological (green) and rural tourism for the disabled people in Ukraine. For solving the set task the following inves- tigation methods were used in the work: dialectical method, analysis and synthesis (research of existing ecological and rural routes by the territory of national natural parks of the regions of Ukraine), graphical method (for illustration of the results of the research); systematic-structural and expert analysis (for definition of priority routes of ecological (green) and rural tourism for the disabled participants and victims of the antiterrorist operation, people with disabilities, disabled children and elderly persons). The modern state of the development of ecological (green) and rural tourism in the regions of Ukraine was studied in the research. The role of the urbanization level in the demand formation for ecological (green) and rural tourism and interrelation between the urbanization and state of the environment was defined. The number of people with different forms of disability by the regions of Ukraine was investigated. Also, the number of the disabled persons among participants and victims of the antiterrorist operation (ATO) was analysed. A survey was conducted among people with disabilities on the priority and need to ensure the use of different types of tourism for people with disabilities. The current and promising routes of ecological (green) and rural tourism for disabled participants and victims of the anti-terrorist operation, people with disabilities, disabled children and elderly persons were analysed and unresolved issues of free access to tourist routes for people with disabilities were determined. The leading regions of Ukraine for the development of ecological (green) and rural tourism for people with disabilities were identified. A kind of ecological (green) and rural tourism with treatment and rehabilitation effect – animal therapy and development of its various methods (apitherapy, hippotherapy, canistherapy, enotherapy) in the regions of Ukraine was analysed. Potential opportunities, availablerecreational resources and prospects for the development of ecological (green) and rural tourism in the industrial Zaporizhzhia region were investigated. The directions of the tourist routes adaptation to the needs of people with disabilities through the formation of a barrier-free space were defined.
Assessment of the deep oil and gas bearing potential onshore in the west of Azerbaijan (Tarsdallar area)

Published: April 2023

The Tarsdeller oil and gas field, which has a brachyoanthicline structure, is the most promising area of the oil-gas region (OGR) in the Kura-Gabirri interfluve. Goal: Based on the reservoir characteristics of rock samples obtained from exploration wells drilled in the area adjacent to the field, petrophysical models have been compiled, reflecting the spatial variation in porosity and permeability of oil-containing reservoirs. Objects: Consideration of the petrophysical properties of core samples taken in the study area made it possible to confirm the oil and gas potential of deep-seated reservoirs. Methods: This analyzed the values and variation of petrophysical properties by depth, age and various physical factors. The observed wide range of changes in the reservoir properties of rocks in the study area is mainly due to tectonic changes, lithological heterogeneity of the sedimentary complex, differences in the depth of bedrocks, as well as the complexity of tectonic conditions. As a result, to predict the oil and gas content in deep reservoirs of the same structures, it is advisable to use the methods of exploration geophysics, as well as the results of changes inthe reservoir characteristics of rocks, determined by petrophysical data. At the same time, it is most expedient to focus on the study of Paleogene-Cretaceous tectonics for the search for oil and gas objects using prospecting and exploration (preferably aerial-photo-space) works at the field. Results: Models made in 3D format illustrate the predicted oil and gas potential and patterns of distribution of productive horizons involved in the geological structure of oil and gas deposits, along the depths and stratigraphic units. It is shown that although the permeability of the rocks in the area is low, the porosity values are favorable for the industrial accumulation of hydro-carbons. Fractured carbonate reservoirs of the Upper Cretaceous are the most promising among the Mesozoic sediments in the OGRbetween the Kura and Gabirri rivers. Deep-seated structural uplifts complicated by large-amplitude fractures are recommended as the priority targets for further geological exploration. However, the real potential of the Eocene deposits, which are widespread in the NGR between the Kura and Gabirri rivers, remains unexplored by deep drilling. This is due, on the one hand, to the incomplete opening of the Eocene section in the structures prepared for deep drilling, structural-tectonic and lithofacies features, as well as insufficient knowledge of drilling for oil and gas, and on the other hand, poor development of promising intervals of the section.

Published: April 2023

The objective of the study is the geomechanical characterization of the rock mass rating RMR system and numerical modeling for mining underground excavation design of the Djebel El Ouahch tunnel, in Constantine (Algeria).The geological and geotechnical character- ization of the rock mass is important for the design of underground mining excavations. In this article, we present the results of the RMR characterization of the rock mass and the numerical modeling by the finite element method (FEM), under the conditions of the Djebel El Ouahch tunnel, Constantine (Algeria).The RMR system is a useful tool for characterization of the rock mass quality and establishing the appropriate support system. For poor rock (Class IV), the excavation should be top heading and bench 1.0 m – 1.5 m advance in top heading. Support should be installed concurrently with excavation, 10 m from face. Rock bolting should be systematic with 4 m – 5 m long, spaced 1.5 m – 1.5 m in the crown and walls with wire mesh, Shotcrete of 100 m -150 mm in the crown and 100 mm in sides. The steel sets should be light to medium ribs spaced 1.5 m only when required. The rock mass consists of generally poor rocks with average stand- up time of 10 hours for 2.5m span with mass cohesion ranges between 100 kPa – 200 kPa and rock mass friction angle ranges from 15° to 35°. The FEM project due to its precision calculates the safety factor and evaluates the principal deformations and displacements of the rocks mass .The originality of this work lies in the use of two different approaches , the RMR system and numerical method (FEM) for analyzing the quality and evaluation of the deformations and displace- ments of rock mass .This method has become a very common practice in underground mining excavation design.This study illustrates that the results obtained by RMR of the argillite rock mass in the case is 28.00 ,ranging from 21.0 to 40.0 classified as Class IV (Poor Rock), while the results of FEM reveal that in accordance with the poor quality of the rocks, large deformations and displacements were observed around the underground mining excavation, which can be at the origin of the ruptures. The value of the safety factor of the order of 0.95 to 1.24 shows the instability of the excavation, and the appearance of very considerable hazard zones in the argillite layer.
Особливості онлайн-комунікації сучасної української бібліотеки (регіональний аспект)

Розвиток мобільного інтернету та соціальних платформ зробив персональні гаджети головним джерелом інформації, розваги та засобом комунікації. Без вибудовування архітектури представленості в Інтернеті та реалізації стратегії онлайн-комунікації сьогодні складно привернути увагу споживача та презентувати йому продукт. Більшість компаній і некомерційних організацій мають  сайти та акаунти в популярних соціальних мережах. Однак наявність власних онлайн-каналів не робить комунікацію автоматично ефективною. Якщо в комерційному секторі давно мають попит навички та компетентності професіоналів у сфері контент-маркетингу, SEO-оптимізації та SMM-менеджменту, то в некомерційній сфері спостерігаємо дефіцит таких фахівців. У статті проаналізована реалізація стратегії онлайн-комунікації регіональної бібліотеки, яка є характерною для більшості державних некомерційних організацій в Україні. Показники охоплення та залученості аудиторії онлайн-комунікації бібліотеки не відповідають унікальності та різноманітності контенту, наявного в її розпорядженні. Недолік ефективності онлайн-комунікації зазвичай пов’язують із дефіцитом фінансування, конкуренцією за кваліфікованого фахівця в комерційних компаній. Однак, автори доходять висновку, що основними драйверами підвищення ефективності онлайн-комунікації мають стати: практика вивчення  цільової аудиторії, у тому числі на основі цифрових даних, система підготовки професіоналів у сфері інтернет-маркетингу некомерційних організацій і система підвищення кваліфікації працівників бібліотек, які відповідають за ведення онлайн-комунікації. Останнє допомогло б нівелювати фінансовий фактор. Але насамперед, самі державні некомерційні організації мають усвідомлювати потребу в якісній зміні стратегії та реалізації своєї онлайн-комунікації.

Published: April 2023

The objective of this research was to determine the degree of satisfaction of dental service users in some clinical externships at the Faculty of Dentistry from the University of Costa Rica during the year 2022, through the application of a modification of the Dental Satisfaction Questionnaire. The sample population consisted of 396 patients and/or legal guardians who attended during May and June of this year at the “Rotación Clínica Comunitaria Palmares,” “Rotación Sede del Atlántico (Turrialba-Guápiles),” “Rotación en Externado Clínico Recinto Paraíso”, “Rotación Clínica del Externado de San Ramón” and “Rotación Comunitaria del curso externado clínico en la Clínica Dental del Recinto de Grecia.”  An instrument was applied, physically or digitally, which included DSQ questions and sociodemographic data. Descriptive analysis of all variables was performed. To establish whether there was an association between sociodemographic variables and DSQ, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test and the post-hoc Bonferroni test were implemented. The response rate was 49.32%; participants indicated satisfaction with the dental service. There was a statistically significant difference not only between the variable of sex and availability, but also between the domains (satisfaction, access, pain management, availability and quality) and the different externships. The study population is satisfied with the dental service received; however, there are significant differences in the DSQ domains and each externship.

A new Masdevallia from the cloud forests of Huanuco, Peru, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to what is considered to be its closest relatives, the sympatric Masdevallia fenestralis and Masdevallia fenestrellata, but differs from both by the lack of translucent fenestrations (“window-like” areas) near the base of the sepals, and by the presence of distinct external ridges of the sepals.
Effects of Pseudomonas putida and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with Rhizobium leguminosarum on the management of Meloidogyne incognita and Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi on pea
Authors: Kashyap Deeksha , Siddiqui Zaki Anwar
Published: April 2023

Effects of Pseudomonas putida and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) alone and in combination was observed in plants grown with bacterized seeds with Rhizobium leguminosarum for the management of Meloidogyne incognita and Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi on pea (Pisum sativum). Inoculation of M. incognita and P. syringae pv. pisi alone and both together reduced plant growth, chlorophyll and carotenoid content over uninoculated control. Use of P. putida and ZnO NPs 0.10 ml−1 (foliar spray/seed priming) alone and in combination resulted in a significant increase in plant growth, chlorophyll, and carotenoid in pathogen-inoculated plants. Seed priming with ZnO NPs was better than NPs foliar spray in increasing plant growth, chlorophyll and carotenoid content of plants with pathogens. Use of P. putida plus NPs seed priming was better than its use with foliar spray in increasing plant growth, chlorophyll, and carotenoid. Bacterization with R. leguminosarum caused sufficient root nodulation and nodulation was better in plants with P. putida than in plants with ZnO NPs. Both test pathogens had adverse effect on root nodulation. Blight disease indices, galling, and nematode population were also greatly reduced when P. putida was used with ZnO NPs seed priming.
Case report: Disseminated gonococcal infection, a story of camouflage and deceit
Authors: Klein Niklas , Bürvenich Lioba , Büchler Christian
Published: April 2023

We report on a 38-year-old male patient with disseminated gonococcal infection. Preceding the discharge diagnosis, the patient was treated regarding rheumatoid arthritis, which resulted in the deterioration of the patient's medical condition due to the immunomodulatory nature of the applied medication. The causative agent was identified by culturing joint puncture fluid inoculated into blood culture vials. Primary infection with the pathogen could not be pinpointed in terms of time, but on further questioning, the patient reported intimate contacts with a number of different male partners, which may be assumed to have included the infection source. The case hereby demonstrates the impact that an early misdiagnosis and a limited anamnesis can have on the progress of a patient's disease. Furthermore, this case has helped us to propose possible improvements in both clinical and microbiological diagnostic approaches.

Central and Eastern European countries, including Czechia and Hungary, have become parts of the integrated periphery in the automotive industry. Through input-output analysis, company data and interviews, the article reveals the determining role of the industry in both economies and their deep integration in global value chains (GVCs). In addition to these similarities, the analysis reveals that domestic, simple and complex global value chain performances, ownership structures, the scale and types of upgrading tendencies as well as the consequences of the appearance of newcomers in the industry show different patterns of GVC structures over time. Due to these, the development paths of the two countries widely differ.

Published: April 2023

The exhibition design of modern museums increasingly relies on the creation of space to display the unique intrinsic cultural quality and place spirit of the exhibition hall, and the exhibition space has become the focus of the design. The exhibition space has become the medium language for the dialogue between the display content and the audience, and the typical venue space presents the required information to the public. In the development process of the information age, display design complements other disciplines and provides a solid foundation for the research and development of space for pavilion design. Narrative design can help the public to seek emotional commonalities and spiritual touches when visiting museums, pursue the real experience of the scene space, and feel the atmosphere and situation created by the theme space.

Super foods are foods that have a very high nutritional density. This means that they provide a substantial amount of nutrients and very few calories, which provides a clinically proven and documented health benefit and thus, an important source of in the prevention, management and treatment of chronic diseases of the modern age. The present study was undertaken with the objectives to develop a nutritious Laddu and Gajak by the incorporation of Chia and Sunflower seeds and to assess their organoleptic quality as well as nutritive value. Two value added products “Laddu” and “Gajak” were prepared by incorporation of chia and sunflower seeds at different levels, 5, 10 and 15 per cent, respectively. Sensory evaluation with respect to colour and appearance, body and texture, taste and flavour and overall acceptability was done by five panel members using the nine-point Hedonic scale. Chemical analysis of the developed food products for moisture, total ash, protein, crude fibre and fat were determined by AOAC (2005) method. Calcium and iron was estimated by colorimeter. The value of carbohydrate and energy was calculated by difference method. On the basis of results, it is concluded that Chia seeds and sunflower seeds was successfully incorporated in preparation of the products like Laddu and Gajak. The sensory attributes of the prepared products with different treatments T2 (Ragi flour (40%), Chia seeds (10%), sunflower seeds (10%), Ghee (10%) and Jaggery (30%)) of Laddu and T2 (Gingelly seeds, Chia seeds, Sunflower seeds and Jaggery) of Gajak, were highly accepted by the panel members, when compared to control i.e. T0. Chemical analysis of this study concludes that the preserved products Laddu and Gajak made by the incorporation of Chia seeds and sunflower seeds were good sources of energy, calcium, fibre, protein and fat content. It is reveals that nutritive composition of the prepared products were significantly increased as the incorporation level increased. Cost of Laddu is slightly increased from control to treatments. T3 has the highest cost and T0 has the lowest cost. Cost of Gajak is also increased from control to treatments. T3 has the highest cost and T0 has the lowest cost.

As a primary dual-purpose crop, pearl millet serves as both food for humans and animal fodder. Its ability to resist high temperatures surpasses that of all other cereals, making it a crop with exceptional climate resilience. The average yield of pearl millet is low when compared to its potential yields because of insufficient soil fertility, a lack of effective soil nutrient replenishment procedures, erratic rainfall patterns, and other factors. Farmers in dry regions are unable to afford the expensive fertilisers because of their poor economic conditions. Additionally, the continuous and exclusive use of chemical fertilisers has given rise to a number of issues; therefore, nutrient management which has been suggested as a possible approach to overcoming such difficulties, helps in resolving these concerns. To preserve a healthy soil’s physical and chemical environment and to act as an energy source for the biomass of soil-microbial organisms, it is crucial to utilise organic, inorganic and biofertilizers in moderation.

Pesticides are substances used by human being to kill or deter organisms (pests) that threaten our health and wellbeing of pets and livestock or cause damage to crops. Antibiotics in the medical sense are excluded, but included are insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, molluscicides and rodenticides among others. Of these, insecticides (to control insects) and herbicides (for controlling unwanted vegetation) are used in the largest quantities. They are also concerned that birds, fish and other beneficial organisms may be adversely affected by pesticides. The insecticidal activity of some naturally occurring compounds such as nicotine and pyrethrum derived respectively from the tobacco plant and certain chrysanthemum species has been known for centuries. These have since been supplemented by inorganic compounds for insect control and sulphur and copper based compounds for fungus control. Discovery of the insecticidal activity of a number of synthetic organic compounds such as Organochlorines like Dichloro-diphenyl trichloroethane (D.D.T.). Benzene Hexachloride (BHC) already synthesised as chemicals in the previous century.

The present investigation on “Studies on heterosis for yield and its components in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.)” was conducted during Kharif-2020, at Department of Agriculture Botany, Vasantrao Naik Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, National Agricultural Research Project, Aurangabad and College of Agriculture, Golegaon. The experimental material included in the present study comprised of five females (lines) and twelve restorers (testers) and sixty crosses. The experimental material was evaluated for twelve characters viz., days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, earhead length (cm), earhead girth (cm), number of nodes per plant, plant height (cm), total number of tillers per plant, number of effective tillers per plant, Fe content (ppm), Zn content (ppm), grain yield per plant (g) and grain yield per hectare (kg). The range of heterobeltiosis was from -33.13 % to 78.20 %. In case of heterobeltiosis, twenty-two crosses showed positive significant heterobeltiosis for grain yield per plant. The cross 02888 X 15006R displayed highly significant standard heterosis over AHB 1200 (43.45 %), AHB 1666 (72.14 %) and Dhanshakti (68.53 %). The standard heterosis for grain yield per plant ranged from -36.31 % to 72.14 %. The other crosses having highly significant and positive standard heterosis were 99111A X 15713R (41.07 %, 69.29 % and 65.73 % over standard check AHB 1200, AHB 1666 and Dhanshakti), 99111A X 15020R (39.29 %, 67.14 % and 63.64 % over standard check AHB 1200, AHB 1666 and Dhanshakti), 02333A X 15183R(36.31 %, 63.57 % and 60.14 % over standard check AHB 1200, AHB 1666 and Dhanshakti) and 02333A X 15351R (37.50%, 65.00 % and 61.54 % over standard check AHB 1200, AHB 1666 and Dhanshakti).

Effective communication strategy is need of the hour to enable research results to reach the farmers fields without much time lag. Hence, it is obvious to use modern ways of communication besides traditional methods of communication. KVK, Amadalavalasa has started sending mobile based SMS through WAY 2 SMS to the KVK registered farmers to transfer of agricultural technology since June 2010. Here study was conducted with the objective of studying the effectiveness of mobile based SMS in transfer of agricultural technology. Efforts should be made to disseminate complete and precise information on all aspects of crop and related information for harnessing the possibilities of utilizing the information, The mobile service authorities need to take extra care to streamline the system so as to prepare relevant content for maximum utility by the end users. Hence more concentration should be given on demand and need of the farmer rather than the technology. Leaders are needed for the long haul as interventions that require new infrastructure or policy and institutional reforms take years to complete. Real time agro advisory is need of the hour to cover more number of farmers. Voice messages may be preferable than text messages for covering illiterate farmers. KVKs and other extension functionaries can make new platforms to reach the unreach through mobile advisory.
The global warming : An urbanization effects

“Access of anything is bad” Mahatam Gandhi suggested to store only the basic required goods and services. To avoid the excess. Global warming and ozone depletion are clear examples of “Excess” exploitation of nature. These are times of great volatility and anxiety from the melting of polar ice caps to the meltdown of financial markets, numerous common challenges compete for the attendance of the human race. However, the major question for the survival of humans is the challenge of a sustainable environment. As the world is facing issues like climate change, global warming, and ozone depletion. Now, we have reached at the times when sustainable development should be the sole mission for all the nation. If different countries of the world will not change their current patterns of consumption and production, the negative consequences will outweigh the economic benefits soon. To achieve a sustainable environment on must adopt Green Growth Strategy. Green Growth approach aims to put environmental issues at the forefront of policy decisions, which, in line with current issues and challenges, cannot be overstated. That is why the Green Growth strategy is extremely pertinent. The extent and rate of global environmental changes are driven largely by rapid population growth, uncontrolled urbanization, and unplanned industrialization. According to 2011, Gujarat is a highly urbanized state with 42 percent of the population resides in the urban region of the state. The case study of Ahmedabad- now mega-city and Financial hub of Gujarat, cultural city Baroda and the rapidly growing Surat will help to throw some light on the current scenario of Environmental Issues and probable solution. Although on 31st August 2009, Gujarat Government makes a very important announcement i.e. “PLASTIC FREE GUJARAT” which surely is a step towards Sustainable Development. The current epidemic of COVID-19 is also result of the exploitation of natural resources.
