Citron watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. citroides) is an important climate smart crop, characterized by high oil content in the seeds and it is a popular fruit in southern Africa. To determine best performing genotypes eight phenotypic traits were assessed to identify cultivars with potential for biodiesel production. A field experiment was conducted at Sebele Agricultural Research Station, in Southern Botswana, during 2019 to 2020 cropping season. Four (4) melon genotypes were planted in a Randomized Complete Block Design replicated three times and eight (8) characters were assessed. Except seed oil content (26.6%) there was significant (P < 0.05) difference among all the traits, an indication of higher genetic diversity in the selected citron watermelon. SC1-Sesoswane, exhibited highest seed yield (1540 kg/ha) and oil yield (435.03 kg/ha) while MMB-280-Lerotse recorded lowest seed yield and oil yield of 548.1 kg/ha and 144 kg/ha respectively. There was a significant correlation of (0.9) between oil yield (kg/ha), number of fruits produced, and seed yield (kg/ha), an indication that increasing the seed yield will positively increase the amount of oil produced. This study revealed the potential bioenergy production of the four cultivars. However, SC1-Sesoswane appears a more promising alternative cultivar for feedstock for biodiesel production.

Authors: Fang Mei , Zhu Man
Published: May 2024

This paper is based on a questionnaire survey of 277 tea farmers and the operating enterprises of Jia’e Tea Valley in Emeishan City. Using the theory of deconstructive planning behavior, the influencing factors of the willingness of tea farmers to participate in the integration of tea and tourism are analyzed. In order to unleash the enthusiasm and initiative of tea farmers, promote the organic integration of tea industry and tourism, increase their income, and promote rural revitalization. The results indicate that (1) Behavioral attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control have a significant impact on the willingness of tea farmers to participate in the integration of tea and tourism, but the influence of tea tourism integration concepts on tea farmers’ behavioral attitudes is not significant. (2) Individual characteristics such as age, education level, family labor force, and per capita disposable income have a significant impact on tea farmer behavior attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, and have a significant indirect impact on the willingness to participate in tea tourism integration. Therefore, this article suggests that grassroots organizations should play a guiding role and increase publicity on the necessity and feasibility of integrating tea and tourism; Give full play to the leading role of village and community cadres, as well as the exemplary and driving role of tea farmers in the same village; Efforts will be made to enhance the recognition and trust of tea farmers in the enterprises they rely on, increase revenue expectations, expand participation channels, reduce participation thresholds and risks, and make tea farmers feel that they can make progress and gain through tea tourism integration, thereby enhancing their enthusiasm and initiative in participating in tea tourism integration.
Diplomatic Protocols: Illuminating the path Improving Political Relations between States
Authors: Kohistani Mohammad Jafar
Published: May 2024

Throughout history, it has been traditional to formally receive political and diplomatic representatives at various levels during national, regional, and worldwide events using diplomatic protocols, which originated from diplomatic courtesies. Establishing trust and confidence in those who will be taking part in future meetings and conversations begins with the use of protocols. Officials' concerns are lessened when hosts adhere strictly to these guidelines since they know what actions and behaviors are appropriate at a given time and place. Understanding this notion reduces anxiety and boosts their confidence during conversations. Protocols create the conditions required for state representatives to communicate successfully, hence promoting state-to-state and international contact. A state's ties may become strained if protocols are not followed precisely and correctly. As a result, it is evident that protocols and their use in diplomatic relations have a substantial impact on the political and diplomatic ties between nations as well as on the development of links between states or parties. We have chosen to concentrate this research on investigating the function of protocols in diplomatic contacts due to the significant significance and influence of protocols in diplomatic relations.

Published: May 2024

The agricultural sector of Pakistan, the backbone of the economy, has experienced extreme changes in climate over the past years. Varying temperatures, rainfall patterns, and carbon emissions have drastically affected the country's agricultural productivity. This study focuses on the exploratory analysis of various factors of climate change in the agricultural sector of Pakistan and involves a descriptive analysis of three variables: temperature, rainfall, and carbon emissions. Time series data on monthly temperature and rainfall was taken from the World Bank from the year 1990 to 2018. At the same time, carbon emissions were studied on a yearly basis. The analysis showed that the country had experienced an increase in temperature and carbon emissions during the period of analysis. However, the decreasing trends of rainfall during most of the months explored the deteriorating agricultural production and food insecurity in the country. Therefore, the government should employ innovative techniques to harvest rainwater for agricultural development, aiming to reduce carbon emissions.

Degenerative arthritis, particularly affecting the knee joint, is a prevalent condition in Taiwan. While milder cases may only result in slight discomfort during walking, severe cases can lead to significant mobility issues and even loss of basic movement capabilities. Unfortunately, once articular cartilage is lost due to degenerative arthritis, it cannot be regenerated. Currently, the severity of knee joint degeneration is classified into primary, intermediate, and severe stages, which guides the selection of treatment options. These treatments range from non-surgical interventions to surgical procedures. Given the significance of preventing knee joint degeneration, researchers have been exploring various methods. One such approach involves establishing animal models to mimic degenerative arthritis conditions in humans. In this study, researchers utilized anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) combined with medial meniscectomy (MMx) surgery to create a rat model of degenerative arthritis. The successful establishment of this model provides a valuable tool and assessment of clinical symptoms and pathological effects of degenerative arthritis in rats for studying potential drugs and designing therapeutic strategies for degenerative arthritis. By leveraging this rat model, researchers can investigate the efficacy of different pharmaceutical interventions and therapeutic approaches. This could ultimately lead to the development of novel treatments for degenerative arthritis, benefiting individuals suffering from this debilitating condition.

Published: May 2024

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an enduring and intricate condition that encompasses issues with behavior and communication. This disability has become common among several individuals globally. To ensure that all the autistic individuals get the correct support and care throughout their lifetime, it is significant that the autism signs are realized and the condition is spotted in the initial phase itself to avoid further complications. However, the process of ASD diagnosis is time-consuming, with expensive testing procedures. An effective screening method is needed for early treatment to improve the quality of the ASD patient’s life. Several conventional studies thrived on attaining ASD identification with machine learning and deep learning) but lacked in accuracy and computation. Therefore, the propounded system employs modified multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with cross-weighted attention mechanism. MLP is utilized for its capability in resolving intricate nonlinear complications, handling huge datasets, and enhancing the accuracy of the model. Though existing studies have utilized MLP for various identification processes, it still lacks identification speed, has overfitting issues, and requires more parameters. To overcome these issues, the proposed system employs cross-weighted attention mechanism, to enhance the identification process. As few researchers focused only on identifying and diagnosing the ASD adult, the proposed system uses autism screening in adult datasets and intends to improve the diagnosis of ASD adult patients. Attention ASD-modified MLP with cross-weighted algorithm is applied to classify and perform with various algorithms such as random forest, MLP, and Naïve Bayes. Furthermore, the performance is examined with certain metrics to calculate the efficacy of the proposed system.

Introduction: PHACES syndrome is a neurocutaneous syndrome that consists of posterior fossa brain malformation, hemangiomas of the face, arterial cerebrovascular malformation, cardiovascular anomalies (Coarctation of the aorta), eye anomaly, and sternal defect or supraumbilical raphe. Most of these manifestations would interfere with anesthesia and hence need major considerations. Case Presentation: A 2.5-month-old female weighing 2100 gr was a candidate for laser therapy due to retinopathy of prematurity. She was diagnosed with PHACES syndrome. Her anesthesia was induced and maintained with sevoflurane. LMA #1 was used for airway management. No complications occurred during or after anesthesia, and she was discharged the next day. Conclusions: PHACES syndrome interacts with numerous anesthesia-related characteristics, such as airway management, cardiovascular disease, and CNS malformations. Based on the accompanying characteristics, perioperative care for these patients should be tailored.

Background: Invasive fungal infection (IFI) is a life-threatening condition, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems. Objectives: Our study aims to evaluate IFI in hospitalized patients with hematological malignancies. Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we evaluated patients with hematological malignancies admitted to two university hospitals in Tehran, Iran, from 2020 to 2021 for IFI. We selected only those patients who had been hospitalized for at least four days for antimicrobial treatment. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS-26 software, employing Mann-Whitney U, chi-square, and Fisher exact tests. Results: During the study period, 60 out of 213 patients with hematological malignancies were admitted for antimicrobial treatment. The average age of the patients was 57.1 years, with fever being the most common symptom, reported in 63.3% of cases. We identified 24 cases of IFI, including three proven cases (Candida spp.) and 21 probable cases. Statistical analysis showed a lower mean neutrophil count in the IFI group compared to the non-IFI group (3862 versus 12881, P = 0.001) and a higher mortality rate (58.3% versus 27.8%, P = 0.031). Conclusions: Our study revealed that severe neutropenia is a significant risk factor for IFI, and the mortality rate associated with IFI remains high despite advances in the treatment of hematological malignancies.

Climate, topography, and rock conditions in Indonesia are relatively diverse, both physical and chemical, these conditions can cause adverse consequences such as floods, landslides, forest fires, and droughts. The Information from Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation on Monday, July 13, 2020, flash floods and flow of debris due to landslides have occurred in Masamba and Baebunta, North Luwu, South Sulawesi Province. The purpose of this paper is to map the distribution of landslide susceptibility area using remote sensing and GIS data. The Method used to analyze the landslide susceptibility estimation model refers to the Indonesian Center for Agricultural Land Resources Research and Development (ICALRD). The parameters used in this model are rainfall, soil type, rock type, slope, land use, and land movement. The ICALRD Landslide Susceptibility Estimation Model in study area shows that there are three classes of landslide susceptibility, such as low, medium, and high susceptibilities. There are six subdistricts which are in medium to high landslide susceptibility, and the others are low to medium landslide susceptibility. The locations of landslides and flash floods that occurred in Masamba and Baebunta indicate areas with medium to high landslide susceptibility.

Kemajuan teknologi digital banyak menyediakan fitur-fitur yang memudahkan akses dalam pelayanan mulai dari sector ekonomi perdagangan bahkan sampai pada sector bisnis raksasa. Keberadaan Robot Trading, selain mempunyai kontribusi yang sangat menjanjikan dalam proses membantu masyarakat untuk bertransaksi diberbagai bidang komoditi dan meminimalisir resiko. Namun tidak sedikit pula penyediaan Robot Trading yang diblokir dan ditertipkan oleh pihak berwajib karena sampai saat ini belum ada ketentuan regulasi yang jelas mengatur Trading Autopilot atau Robot Trading. Perkembangan teknologi ini tentu saja harus diimbangi dengan regulasi yang mengatur legalisasi perdagangan komoditi dengan menggunakan Robot Trading. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan objektif untuk menganalisis regulasi penggunaan Robot Trading dan upaya perlindungan hukum terhadap investor dalam penggunaannya tanpa legalitas yang seharusnya ditempuh oleh Pemerintah. Secara subyektif penelitian ini untuk memperoleh data dalam rangka penyusunan penelitian. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan Normative-Empiris yaitu dalam mencari data mengenai Legalitas Robot Trading. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah bentuk regulasi penggunaan Robot Trading saat ini hanya dalam bentuk peraturan pemerintah sementara. Upaya perlindungan saat ini antara lain menyita harta kekayaan pelaku tindak pidana semaksimal mungkin. Karena itu, selain aturan KUHP, delik pelaku juga tunduk pada ketentuan undang-undang Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang. Dalam hal kewenangan Bappebti terutama pada bidang pengawasan dalam investasi Robot Trading sesungguhnya harus diatur secara komprehensif dalam peraturan kepala Bappebti, selain adanya hal tersebut, diperlukan pula revisi Undang-Undang Perdagangan Berjangka Komoditi terutama dalam aturan sanksi pelanggaran terkait perdagangan berjangka, hal ini dimaksudkan untuk memberi efek jera kepada pihak-pihak yang melakukan pelanggaran tersebut dan sebagai upaya untuk mengoptimalisasikan fungsi pengawasan Bappebti. Karena kekosongan hukum dapat mengakibatkan pelaku kejahatan berkedok Robot Trading untuk menghimpun dana masyarakat seperti yang telah terjadi di beberapa tahun terakhir.

Educational psychology is an important foundation in curriculum development and understanding student character. The Qur'an plays a central role in the perspective of Islamic education, emphasizing the concepts of extraordinary life. Islamic psychology enriches the view of psychology with religious values. Human beings in the Islamic view have unique potentials and special traits, such as learning abilities and good and bad tendencies. The Qur'an encourages people to make use of reason and go through the learning process, paying attention to the ethics of students towards teachers. The verses of the Qur'an reveal the motivation for learning through requests, commands, exhortations, and threats. It includes intrinsic drives such as curiosity and learning tendencies as well as extrinsic drives such as rewards and commands. The harmony between material and spiritual aspects is important in overcoming internal conflicts, while the positive human potential is often emphasized in the hope for change for the better. The Qur'an also describes man's psychological struggle between conflicting traits such as lust and spiritual instinct. By combining psychological views and religious teachings, this approach provides a rich foundation for human self-understanding and development in the context of education and life.

Published: May 2024

The field of music analysis has experienced significant growth, encompassing diverse aspects such as corporal movements in instrumental performance, dance studies, and cognition-centric methodologies. This paper provides a historical overview of the endingidi, a traditional tube-fiddle, within a broader context. It examines the materials used in constructing the endingidi as well as the challenges encountered in this process. Additionally, the paper explores the performative expressive elements of the endingidi, including accompanying gestures. Despite the enduring presence of the endingidi as a timeless traditional instrument, there remains a notable gap in comprehensive studies that unravel its intricate cultural significance, an oversight this investigation conscientiously seeks to address.  The study identifies challenges in material sourcing for the endingidi due to scarcity and environmental degradation. Proposed interventions include afforestation, alternative materials, government support, and community engagement. Emphasizing sustainable practices and responsible harvesting, it urges government leadership, documentation of techniques, and community support for artisans. Linking to broader music education challenges, it advocates for government resource allocation. Providing a nuanced understanding of the endingidi, it underscores multidimensional approaches to safeguarding it as part of Ugandan cultural heritage, highlighting the importance of sustainability, research, government, and community involvement in preservation efforts.
