O abacaxi (Ananas comosus) é uma importante cultura hortícola da família Bromeliaceae destancando-se devido a sua fácil acessibilidade a população, alto valor nutricional, sabor e aroma agradáveis. A produção de espumantes normalmente é feita com a inoculação do suco com culturas selecionadas de Saccharomyces cerevisiae para melhor gerenciar a fermentação alcoólica e fornecer um estilo e qualidade confiáveis, consistentes e previsíveis para o produto. Objetivou-se nesta pesquisa elaborar uma bebida tipo vinho espumante de abacaxi utilizando levedura de cerveja S. cerevisiae. Para isso, foi utilizada uma formulação com 75% de água, 25% de abacaxi, 10 g/L de levedura e 140 g/L de sacarose, que fermentou por 10 horas. Foram realizadas as análises de teor alcoólico, sólidos solúveis totais, acidez, sacarose e pH para a caracterização da bebida. Ao final da fermentação, a bebida apresentou teor alcoólico de 6% v/v, 1,3 ºBrix, 2,5 g/L de sacarose, 8,5 mEq/kg de acidez e pH de 3,5. Foi possível a elaboração de uma bebida tipo espumante de abacaxi utilizando S. cerevisiae, contudo o teor alcoólico ficou abaixo do recomendado pela legislação brasileira que é de 10% v/v para espumante.

Authors: Chakrabarti Sumit , Kumar Shailendra
Published: August 2022

Beauveria bassiana, was isolated from the infected pupal cadavers of Ectropis deodarae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), a defoliator of Cedrus deodara, from Jhungi area of Sundernagar Forest Division, Himachal Pradesh. The native isolate of the fungus was tested to assess its virulence on Acraea issoria (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), commonly known as Yellow Coster. A dose mortality bioassay experiment using seven doses of Beauveria bassiana was conducted on third instar larvae of the butterfly that defoliate Debregeasia hypoleuca in and around Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. Results indicate that 76% larval mortality is possible using 6.77 Spores/ml of aqueous solution of this entomopathogenic fungus. The LD50, calculated using ‘Probit Analysis’ was 3E+07 spores per ml. of water suspension and at 95% confidence, the lower limit is 3E+06 (2983882.87517) and upper limit is 1.9E+08 (186770301.094). This study indicates that the Jhungi isolate of Beauveria bassiana would be an effective microbial pathogen to control the lepidopteran defoliator.

Authors: Ma Mingyan , Noordin Nooreen , Razali Abu Bakar
Published: August 2022

Foreign language anxiety (FLA), as a common affective filter, has impeded the language learning process. In order to reduce the FLA, researchers have explored several methods via enhancing language learning settings. Technology as a crucial tool in improving the learning environment has been considered on this topic as well. However, the results of these empirical studies are inconsistent. After reviewing 24 relevant experimental and quasi-experimental research articles from 2016 to 2021 and calculating the effect size for each article, it is evident that 46% of studies reported that technology-assisted instruction significantly decreased FLA, and 54% had no significant effect on FLA. Therefore, this paper aimed to examine the overall effect size on the topic and explore the moderators that caused these inconsistent results through examining five potential moderators (technology type, using methods for integrating technology into a foreign language classroom, exposure duration of technology in experimental groups, FLA type and target language) from the reviewed studies, which are based on the sources of FLA (Young, 1991; Yan & Horwitz, 2008). Two moderators (using methods for integrating technology into foreign language classrooms and target language) were found to get significant predictions on the effect of technology on students' FLA, p<0.05. These findings provide educators, researchers, and practitioners a new direction for future research on different methods of teaching the target language using suitable technology in the classroom.

Induced breeding of Bagrid catfish, Mystus tengara, is not widely practiced in Bangladesh, and seed is not readily available. The study was conducted to identify the optimum range of water quality parameters to best induced breeding results in a hatchery in Pabna district, Bangladesh. Fish breeding and other related work have been done in the hatchery. The (mean ± SD) temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH were ranged from 29.75±1.22oC to 33.94±0.18oC; 4.40±0.57 to 5.35±1.06 mg/l; and 7.10±0.14 to 7.40±0.28 in brood pond and 26.50±0.71oC to 31.00±1.41oC; 3.80±0.14 to 5.50±0.42; and 7.00±0.00 to 7.30±0.42 in overhead tank, respectively. The highest fertilization rate (80%) was observed in brood pond water at the 7th and 8th weeks at temperatures of 33.94±0.18o C and 32.00±1.07oC, as well as oxygen concentrations of 5.20±1.41 mg/l, 4.60±0.14 mg/l, and pH values 7.20±0.14, 7.20±0.00, respectively. In the 9th week of the experiment, the temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH values of 28.00±1.41oC, 5.50±0.42 mg/l and 7.00±0.00, respectively, were shown to have the highest hatching rates. A strong positive correlation was found among dissolved oxygen, temperature, fertilization rate, and hatching rate. Particularly, the brood raising pond's water quality parameters showed a strong positive correlation with fertilization rate. On the other hand, water quality parameters of the overhead tank showed a strong positive correlation with hatching rate. This study will help hatchery technicians in comprehending the requirements for M. tengara species induced breeding in terms of water quality.

PARAMETRIC STUDY ON TORSIONAL EFFECTS OF IRREGULAR BUILDING WITH STIFFNESS AND MASS IRREGULARITY UNDER SEISMIC ZONE
Authors: B H Bhuvaneshwari
Published: August 2022

Due to the expanding population all throughout the world, there is an enormous need for the construction of high-rise structures. One of the most crucial ways to prevent damage from future earthquakes is the construction of engineering structures that are earthquake- resistant. Earthquake forces are irregular forces that may or may not cause structural damage. Failure starts in the weakest area during an earthquake. This weakness might be brought on by the structure's discontinuity in mass, stiffness, and shape. According to (IS: 18933, 2002), a story inside a building is considered to have mass irregularity only if its mass is greater than 200% of the story next to it. Average lateral stiffness or less than 70% of the stiffness in the level above. This paper presents the analysis conducted on the G+10 RC frame structure from zones II to V with mass and stiffness irregularities (response spectrum). The results show that the mass at the top floor was critical compared to other floors, whereas the stiffness at the ground floor was critical compared to other floors. Key Words: Earthquake, Response Spectrum, Mass and Stiffness Irregularity.

Authors: S N Nagaraja
Published: August 2022

It is frame work of diagonally intersecting metal, concrete, or wooden beams i.e. used in the construction of building and roofs and its diagonal components can carry both gravity and lateral loads due to their trigulated design and axial actions. Construction sequence analysis is a non linear analysis approach in which the structures in analyzed at various stages corresponding to the construction sequence and partially required loads are applied sequentially at every stage. A plan of 20 m × 20m size was considered. ETABS 2016 was used in modeling and analysis of structural members and subjected to seismic loads for zone V as per IS1893-2016. In total 6 models with different diagrid angles (520 620 & 680 ) and column removal scenario at different floor levels. To study bending moment and shear force variation in transfer girder beams for with and without construction sequence and study axial force variation in columns for with and without construction sequence analysis & also study seismic response of diagrid structure with different diagrid angles i.e., storey displacement and storey drift. For response spectrum analysis when compared different diagrid models (620 and 680), diagrid model 680 is less displacement as compared to other degrees implying that we take above 680 diagrid angle is best for tall buildings. A more realistic design than the standard design is produced by including sequential load case in the study of multistory RCC structure. Key Words: Diagrid angle, construction sequence analysis,

Authors: Dogan Oguz
Published: August 2022

Polymer materials produced by additive manufacturing undergo significant changes in their dimensions under continuous loading conditions. This situation affects the operation of polymer structures produced by additive manufacturing within safe limits. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the creep behaviour of polymers produced by the additive manufacturing method. This study investigates the creep behaviour of six different materials, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), polylactic acid (PLA), tough polylactic acid (TPLA), polycarbonates (PC), and nylon most commonly used in additive manufacturing. The creep test specimens are firstly produced with a three-dimensional (3D) printer, and then their final dimensions are given using computer numerical control (CNC) milling. The creep experiments are carried out at three different ambient temperatures (25 °C, 40 °C, and 60 °C) and two different stress levels (10 MPa, 20 MPa). According to the test results, it was determined that the material type, temperature, and loading levels significantly influenced the creep behaviour of the 3D printed polymer materials.

De ‘alle omstandigheden van het geval’-toetsing bij artikel 7:671c BW en ernstig verwijtbaar handelen of nalaten van de werkgever

De Hoge Raad heeft in zijn beschikking van 21 januari 2022 bepaald dat zowel bij de beoordeling van een werknemersverzoek tot ontbinding van de arbeidsovereenkomst op grond van artikel 7:671c BW, alsmede bij de beoordeling of de ontbinding het gevolg is van ernstig verwijtbaar handelen of nalaten van de werkgever, alle omstandigheden van het geval, in onderling verband en samenhang, in aanmerking moeten worden genomen. De auteur onderwerpt deze beschikking van de Hoge Raad aan een nadere analyse. In het bijzonder wordt ingegaan op de wijze waarop artikel 7:671c BW in de lagere rechtspraak wordt toegepast en hoe deze toepassing zich verhoudt tot de norm van artikel 7:671c BW. Bovendien staat de bijdrage stil bij de vraag hoe de toetsing die volgens de Hoge Raad moet worden aangelegd bij de beoordeling van ernstig verwijtbaar handelen of nalaten door de werkgever zich verhoudt tot de beoordeling die moet worden aangelegd bij ernstig verwijtbaar handelen of nalaten van de werknemer. Tot slot gaat de bijdrage in op de mogelijkheid van het stapelen van verschillende verwijtbare gedragingen om tezamen tot het predicaat ernstige verwijtbaarheid te komen. De auteur betoogt dat dit eenvoudiger lijkt in de situatie waarin de werknemer zelf om ontbinding van zijn arbeidsovereenkomst verzoekt.

Het foutief invullen van het Bibob-formulier en de bestuurs- en strafrechtelijke invulling van valsheid in geschrifte

In deze bijdrage staat de vraag centraal of, en zo ja in welke gevallen, het foutief invullen van een Bibob-formulier het vermoeden van valsheid in geschrifte (art. 225 Sr) rechtvaardigt. Op basis van artikel 3 lid 6 Wet Bibob kan een beschikking worden geweigerd of ingetrokken als redelijkerwijs kan worden vermoed dat een strafbaar feit is gepleegd ter verkrijging of behoud van die beschikking. Voor de inkleuring van dat bestuursrechtelijke vermoeden lijkt opzet of oogmerk geen rol te spelen. Dat werpt de vraag op: is fout ook per definitie vals? En vooral: wanneer is fout vals?

Published: August 2022

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is one of the most important commercial fruits grown in Punjab. Fruit flies (Bactrocera spp.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) are considered the key insect pest of guava causing yield losses and quality degradation during rainy season and thus decreasing fruit production. The present studies emphasis on ecofriendly management of fruitflies using the methyl eugenol pheromone traps (PAU traps) during 2017 and 2018. Fruit flies analysis by traps installation in guava orchard characterized high population of fruit flies (24.8â€“760.9) captured per trap per week (pooled mean of two years) in July to September. Population of fruit fly increased rapidly reaching its peak with weekly trap catches of 801.5 and 720.4 fruit flies/trap/week during the second week of August (32nd SMW) during 2017 and 2018 respectively, when the trees were at the maximum fruiting period. Maximum fruit infestation in control was observed in 34th and 35th SMW, i.e 67 and 81% as compared to 45 and 48% in treatment. The marketable fruits/ tree was 96 and 85 fruits/tree in treated plots as compared to 52 and 47 fruits/tree in untreated plots during 2017 and 2018 respectively. Mean fruit yield was 15.4 kg/tree and 12.6 kg/tree in treatment as compared to control with 8.8 kg/tree and 8.1 kg/tree during 2017 and 2019 respectively. There was significant increase in number of marketable fruits/tree and fruit yield. The results clearly depict that fruit fly traps offer one of the most effective method for the management of fruit flies especially in the rainy season.

This study was carried out in Vijayapura and Bagalkot districts of Karnataka to assess the adoption of improved technologies by dryland farmers to mitigate effects of climate change. Primary data was collected from 240 farmers using multi-stage random sampling technique. Nearly 70% farmers experienced the decreased and uneven distribution of rainfall, 35% farmers experienced untimely rainfall and 48% farmers experienced increase in temperature. This unpredictable variation in climate especially rainfall and temperature resulted in decreased crop yields, frequent crop failures, sinking water level in bore wells and open wells and increased emergence of pest and diseases. The farmers in the region sustained crop yields by adopting climate resilience indigenous and modern scientific technologies like manipulating sowing dates, mixed farming, crop diversification, alternate cropping systems and drought tolerant varieties.The age of farmer, access to irrigation, level of education, farming experience, social participation, land holding size, livestock possession and institutional credit had significant impact on adoption of climate resilient technologies by the farmers in the region.

Authors: G GARG , SONI SHALINI , YADAV SATISH KUMAR , KUMARI POOJA
Published: August 2022

In the study Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. & Coss.] was treated with different doses (0, 2.5, 10, 20 and 100 Gy) of gamma rays (radioactive cobalt, 60Co) and the effects were investigated on callus initiation, seed germination, seedling growth, total chlorophyll, protein and proline contents of seedling leaves, which were grown from hypocotyl explant of non-irradiated and irradiated seeds. Experiment was conducted at School of Biotechnology, Gautam Buddha University during 2017â€“18. The results showed that irradiated seeds had increased seed germination per cent, seedling length, fresh and dry weight, total chlorophyll, protein and proline content in low dose exposure (2.5Gy). Callus cultures were established from hypocotyl explants of 15 days old seedlings obtained from irradiated and non-irradiated seeds of B. juncea on MS1 [MS+BAP (2 mg/ml) + 2,4 D (1 mg/ml)] and MS2 [MS+BAP (2 mg/ml) + 2,4 D (0.5 mg/ml)] medium. Cultured hypocotyls formed callus at their cut ends within a week and simultaneously differentiation started into nodular structures from their base. MS1 callus induction medium gave good callus induction percentage (58%) as compared to MS2. It was observed that the callus was green, compact and showed 83% induction frequency in 100Gy gamma dose in MS1, whereas in different dose treatment (2.5â€“20Gy), callus was white and friable. It turned light brown in 100Gy treatment in MS2 medium. Thus, results of the present study showed pre-sowing seed irradiation is an effective method of improving seed germination at the early developmental stage of the plant.

The study demonstrates the economic and social determinants in adoption of organic cultivation of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) in the states of Mizoram, Meghalaya, Manipur and Sikkim. The turmeric production through organic method demonstrated high yield and returns. The yield and returns of turmeric crop were found significantly higher in the adopter state than non-adopter states of the region. The analysis of economic returns showed organic cultivation of turmeric to be economically feasible but it also suggested policy implications like post-harvest arrangements. The factor share analysis stressed on need of pre-harvest arrangements on the turmeric farm of adopter as well as non-adopter states to make the crop more remunerative across the states of NEHR. The ANOVA analysis of yield contrasts provided the way forward to the capability and ability of turmeric yield across the states in the region. The identified technical as well as social factors and determinants through logit analysis have provided the researchable issues to enhance the productivity and production of organic turmeric in the region.

Mentha spicata L. is cultivated for its essential oil which has various industrial uses. There are several species of Mentha genus but M. spicata is the only one which is rich in carvone. The present study was carried out at Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP), Research Centre, Pantnagar in 2020 to evaluate the yield potential and essential oil quality of five spearmint cultivars grown in sub-tropical condition of Uttarakhand, so that farmers could select, choose and cultivate the right cultivar to get maximum benefits. CIM-Mohak and MSS-5 showed significant higher yield (herb yield, essential oil yield) i.e. 124.10 and 116.20 q/ha and 68.88 and 70.58 kg/ ha, respectively. The analysis of essential oils from five spearmint cultivars revealed that limonene was more in Neer kalka (35.1%) and carvone was more in Arka (64.35%) but cultivars CIM-Mohak and MSS-5 had almost same concentration of carvone and limonene. The study concludes that CIM-Mohak and MSS-5 can be grown for spearmint cultivation in sub-tropical conditions for higher returns.

The Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis is recognized as a major seed and soil-borne disease of lentil worldwide. Rapid detection of Fusarium wilt is important for the management of disease at an early stage and thereby preventing the epiphytotic. Forty cultures of Fol were purified after routine isolation from infected seeds from different geographical locations. The amount of genetic diversity was evaluated using PCR amplification with a set of 6 RAPD primers of selective nucleotide primer pairs. The phylogenetic relationship of RAPD marker revealed diversity among the isolates. The RAPD monomorphic bands were cloned and sequenced. The final SCAR marker designed, provides the amplicon size 353bp with Fol isolates. The RAPD derived SCAR marker is the first marker with high sensitivity genomic DNA and species specific for the detection of Fol. This species-specific SCAR marker can be employed for the quick detection of fungus in seed during seed certification or seed health testing for long-term conservation of lentil.

Analysis of women's poverty experiences with grounded theory approach
Authors: BÜYÜKYÖRÜK Nurvet
Published: August 2022

Even though poverty is a general problem observed in many societies, increasing share of women among the poor in recent years has brought the concept of poverty of woman into question. While poverty influences all segments, it particularly influences disadvantaged groups such as women, elders, handicapped and children more deeply. Social inequalities between women and men in the society, exploitation that women are exposed to, unbalanced distribution of income and exclusion have an increasing impact on poverty. A woman in poverty is deprived of labor, education, fundamental rights and freedoms, healthcare services and social activities. If it is considered that the women who experience the problem of poverty have different perspectives and properties, then it is important to evaluate the poverty of women on a multi-dimensional basis. In this context, the purpose of the study is revealing poverty experiences, emotions, attitude and behaviors of women. In the study, profound interviews were performed with 30 women living in the province of Burdur and the data acquired were evaluated within the frame of grounded theory, which aims to develop a theory. At the end of the interviews, it is observed that ongoing poverty of women ever since their childhood continues in later periods of their lives. The noticeable findings of the study are that majority of women are exposed to physical, social and psychological deprivations due to poverty but try to cope with it for the sake of their children.

It is assumed that excessive fructose consumption is associated with the risk of developing various diseases, especially metabolic disease. The aims of this study were two fold: 1) Does liver and pancreatic damage occur due to excessive fructose consumption 2) If damage occurs, can we reduce this damage by using (ASA) and Vit. C. The rats were divided randomly into five groups of eight as follows: Group1-control; Group2-corn syrup (Fructose: F; 30% F solution); Group3-F and ASA (F+10 mg/kg/day, ASA, oral); Group4-F and Vit. C (F+200 mg/kg/day, Vit. C, oral); Group5-F, ASA and Vit C (F+A+C -same dose administration, respectively). The rats were sacrificed 24 h after the last application at the end of the 6th week, and their blood serum, liver and pancreas tissues were taken and evaluated histologically and biochemically. It was found that serum cholesterol and AST levels were significantly lower in the F+C and F+A+C groups, and ALT and TG levels were significantly lower in the F+A+C group compared to the F group (p
