Role of "Business Model Canvas" (BMC) In Improving Omzet, Comparative Analysis Approach of Beginner Enterpreneurs in the Field of Creative Economy
Authors: Kusumawati Yuli Noor , Mulyani Endang
Published: March 2024

An established business must first have a comprehensive plan, including a vision, mission, and goals to be achieved, including increasing turnover and profits and then be able to map out what the company wants and needs with its resources. BMC Strategic Planning (BMC) is a business plan model that explains goals, capital, and efforts to achieve your goals comprehensively. This planning strategy effectively minimizes failure because all risks have been mapped. In some startups, formulating a BMC is a necessity, considering that most startup companies have a risk of failure in the first 5 years. Therefore, this research wants to see the extent of BMC's role in increasing the turnover of novice entrepreneurs in creative industries that have been established for 5 years by comparing turnover before and after using BMC for 3 consecutive years. The results show that the application of BMC to budding entrepreneurs in the creative economy sector has increased their turnover by 22.82% compared to before using BMC. The highest increase in turnover was in the culinary sector, reaching 26.36%, followed by F&B at 25.05%, fashion at 23.9%, and beverages at 22.74%. The BMC elements are dominant because they prioritize the quality of taste (food and drinks) as well as the quality of packaging and clothing design, key activities, and key partners to build value propositions, then supported by accurate market segmentation and customer relationships followed by intensive promotion (Channel) so that a revenue stream occurs, in the form of increased sales (Omzet).
Aristotel, Organon, Veneția, Baptista de Tordis, 1484: de la incunabulul din Biblioteca Brukenthal la primele comentarii de logică în limba siriacă
Authors: Ittu Constantin
Published: March 2024

The Brukenthal National Museum Library hosts an impressive collection of incunabula, one of them being Aristotle’s Organon, Venice, Baptista de Tordis, 1484. Initially, the book belonged to ‘The Chapel Library’ (Kapellenbibliothek), a library founded in the fourteenth century, and was transferred to the Brukenthal Library in 1879. One of the first scholars who wrote a commentary about Aristotle’s Organon – to be more precise: only on Categories – in Syriac language was Sergius of Resh’ayna, a sixth century physician and priest who studied in Alexandria. Sergius wrote two commentaries, but he did not translate the texts from Greek to Syriac simply because his audience, native in Syriac, had good knowledge of Greek. Later, when the contacts between Mesopotamia and the Late Roman Empire/Byzantium had decreased, original Aristotelian texts had to be translated into Syriac, because the local elites were not able to understand Greek. Such being the case, the translators played a major role, and two of them were Jacob of Edessa – he himself a bishop –, and George ‘the bishop of the Arabs’, who were active at the end of the seventh century and at the beginning of the eighth century.
L’espace public à Algér : le désintérêt privé (beylick) comme produit du contrôle public
Authors:   University of University of Mʼsila, Medjadj Tarek , Baudelle Guy ,   University of Rennes
Published: March 2024

Public spaces in Algeria are characterized by the strong lack of interest among people who rely entirely on public authority. Not any tendency here to make of it a common good. The purpose of the paper is to exhibit the extent of popular indifference from in situ observations in Algiers and to explain this attitude through historical analysis. Indeed, the collective imaginary and practices have not always been insensitive to public spaces. On the contrary, in traditional rural society, public spaces were perceived as a continuity of domestic space. The peasant was obliged to take charge of its maintenance as well as for his home, his intimate space. To understand the later behavioural evolution, we must refer to the Ottoman and colonial domination processes. Each period had its own way of considering public spaces, but the urban management systems have always been based on a discrimination policy against natives and a strict control of the public spaces to the point of making them appear as the State property in the collective mentality. This perception of a grabbing of public spaces by the Turkish governor (Beylik) and later by the French colonial administration (for security reasons) has led amongst city dwellers to a feeling of exclusion and a disaffection that still characterize their attitude today.
Comentariul la Evanghelia după Matei(1544) al lui Wolfgang Musculus, sursă de inspirație pentru Tâlcul evangheliilor(1567), Omilia la Duminica a treia din Post
Authors:   Institutul Teologic Penticostal, Emanuel Conțac
Published: March 2024

Although the Protestant ideas in Coresi’s early Postil (Tâlcul evangheliilor), published in 1567, have long puzzled scholars interested in the first Romanian books, attempts to trace the exact origin of these elements have yielded no decisive results. The current paper focuses on the 47th homily of the Postil, based on Mark 8:34–9:1, and identifies the Commentary on Matthew (1544) by Wolfgang Musculus (1497–1563) as one of the main sources. Commenting on Matthew 16:24-28 and its Markan parallel, Musculus introduces the concept of duplex crux, asserting that the common cross notwithstanding (by virtue of which all Christians must put off the flesh with its passions and desires), each believer has his or her unique cross, ordained by God. Writing at a time when the emergent magisterial Protestants were trying to forge their confessional identities in opposition to the Catholic Church, Musculus singles out Catholic monks for criticism, asserting that in pursuing asceticism they bear a cross of their own choosing, not the cross ordained by God. The Reformed theologian also writes that the cross must be borne joyfully and provides various Scriptural prooftexts to support this idea. The 47th homily of Coresi’s Postil is developed along the same theological lines and provides strong evidence that Wolfgang Musculus served as a source of inspiration for the anonymous author of the first Romanian collection of homilies.
Din istoria criptografiei românești: cifrul unui dregător moldovean

Published: March 2024

Une note, écrite sur une page du Psautier en vers transposé par Théodore Corbea en 1720, contient le chiffre d’un seigneur Lupul. C’est un chiffre composite, formé par 34 signes, alternant des lettres cyrilliques, grecques et latines, mais aussi des chiffres. Par la manière dont il a été créé, ce chiffre appartient, probablement, à un dignitaire moldave: Lupul, le commandant de la cavalerie, ou Iordache Costache, le grand écurier (le fils de Costache Lupul). Ce chiffre présente de l’intérêt du point de vue structurel: il est fondé sur une substitution partielle et recourt, dans quelques situation, aux signes spéciaux ayant une double valeur.

THE INTEGRATION OF THE BONNY METHOD OF GIM AND CLIENT-CENTERED VERBAL PSYCHOTHERAPY IN TREATING A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER: A Case Study
Authors: Yawney Ruta
Published: March 2024

This case study integrates the use of client-centered verbal psychotherapy with The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) with a 48-year-old male client with alcohol use disorder across nine sessions. The pairing of these two approaches empowered him towards being an active participant in his own healing and assisted him in experiencing his life from a new perspective. The imagery from his GIM sessions was used as a vehicle for discussion and self-expression, putting him in touch with his innate sense of spirituality so that he could begin to relate to himself and to others with compassion and acceptance, which is an essential part of the healing journey in recovery. In addition, he began the process towards resolution of issues from his childhood of loss and trauma. The paper concludes with a recommendation that GIM and client-centered verbal therapy be integrated into the multidisciplinary approach in the field of addiction recovery.

THE DEPICTION OF A HERO’S JOURNEY IN BONNY METHOD OF GIM SESSIONS
Authors: Nadata Atsuko
Published: March 2024

This article examines a client’s psychological transformation through Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) sessions based on a developmental pattern of the archetypes in myths called the Hero’s Journey. Story patterns of myths and fairy tales represent the universal aspect of psychological development of human beings. The main character in the story often goes through the typical journey patterns such as hearing the call to adventure, leaving his hometown, fighting with enemies, achieving a treasure, and retaining his own kingdom at the end. GIM clients symbolically go through these stages. The client’s images of herself in this article transformed from a helpless orphan to a magician who has a miraculous ability to transform harmful creatures to harmless ones whom she then embraced. Viewing an individual GIM process through the lens of the Hero’s Journey’s structure may give a deeper understanding of the client’s process of movement toward individuation.

Corporate Governance of China’s State-Owned Enterprises: A Review of Past Experiences
Authors: Yang Yongqiang , Santos Ma. Germina
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of corporate governance practices in China's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) based on their current state. The researchers selected 20 SOEs and surveyed 40 respondents to assess five key areas: institutional framework, information disclosure, board and supervisory board responsibility and supervision, legal guarantees for stakeholder interests, and strategic management.
The findings revealed that while the interviewees generally agreed with the current state of SOE corporate governance, there were areas for improvement in all five assessed areas. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and sustainability issues were the most concerning for the respondents, whereas shareholder relations were of least concern. Regarding the impact on productivity and profitability, the sample companies exhibited average performance, suggesting room for improvement.
The study recommended several optimizations to the corporate governance system, including strengthening the board of directors' authority, establishing information disclosure and stakeholder protection mechanisms, reforming the SOE supervision system, and implementing a mixed ownership structure for SOEs.

Authors: Saeed Muhammad , Ashraf Mobeen , Ijaz Aleen , Jaffar Muhammad Naveed
Published: March 2024

By introducing Pythagorean Neutrosophic Hypersoft Sets and giving definitions, operations, and an overview of some of their attributes, this study seeks to expand the hypersoft set idea to Pythagorean Neutrosophic Hypersoft Sets (PNHS). In this set structure two existing set structures are combined Pythagorean and Neutrosophic Hypersoft Sets theories with two dependent variables, Truthiness and Falsity, and one independent variable, Indeterminacy, with 0≤α*+β*≤ 2. Furthermore, an application is presented to show how a new judgment technique based on Pythagorean Neutrosophic Hypersoft Sets works. This study emphasizes the importance of PNHS in managing complicated and ambiguous information, enhancing our comprehension of and ability to use it in decision-making processes. Score functions are essential for evaluating the efficacy and dependability of the suggested approach, which helps make well-informed decisions and improves problem-solving skills across a range of fields.
Evaluating Performance and Satisfaction of Bus Raid Transit Using the Hybrid T2NN-APPRESAL Method
Authors: Elsayed Asmaa
Published: March 2024

There are many factors that affect the environment in general, the most important of which is climate change as well as population growth. To preserve the environment, researchers seek to find the best ways and solutions to preserve the quality of the environment through the use of renewable energy to reduce emissions resulting from other energies as well as provide a good life for people in light of population density. The high One of these solutions is bus rapid transit (BRT). It's a public transportation system that uses dedicated lanes to provide fast, efficient bus service. BRT systems often feature stations with elevated platforms for easy boarding, prepayment systems to speed up boarding, and traffic signal priority to keep buses moving smoothly. BRT is designed to offer many of the benefits of light rail or subway systems at a lower cost and with more flexibility. It's commonly implemented in cities around the world as a way to improve public transportation and reduce congestion. The term "BRT" is mainly used in the Americas and China, while in India, it is called "BRTS," and in Europe, it is often referred to as a "busway" or "BHLS." This paper seeks to analyze the BRT system based on its features according to the user’s satisfaction using the Approach for Preference, Performance and Ranking Evaluation with SAtisfaction Level (APPRESAL) method to overcome the problems of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods that lack in dealing with user satisfaction as well as the influence of factors on the analysis under the type-2 neutrosophic numbers (T2NN) environment to overcome ambiguity and uncertainty resulting from the collected data.
The Paradoxist Movement, Precursor of Neutrosophy, in the Shadow of a Totalitarian Regime
Authors: Christianto Victor , Smarandache Florentin
Published: March 2024

Physics thrives on precision, but paradoxes in set theory reveal limitations in our understanding of well-defined boundaries. Neutrosophic logic, challenging the excluded middle principle, introduces the concept of "betweenness" and partial belonging. This article explores, among other things, what is less known, i.e., Paradoxism emerged as a radical artistic and literary movement in Romania during the late 1980s and continues even today. It arose within the stifling and highly controlled environment of Nicolae Ceaușescu's socialist regime, offering a rebellious outlet and a means to subvert the prevailing ideology. Understanding the Paradoxist Movement necessitates a contextual understanding of the Nicolae Ceaușescu regime, a period marked by strict control and growing dissent. Later on, paradoxism, as the dynamics of opposites used in literary and scientific creations, was extended to neutrosophy, which means the dynamics of opposites and their neutrals in literary and scientific creations, which was further generalized to Plithogeny.
TRENDS OF THE AI ECONOMY IN RUSSIA
Authors: G. Popkova Elena , Stefanovic Miladin
Published: March 2024

This paper is devoted to determining the trends of the AI economy in Russia. The method of trend analysis was used to find the dynamics of change in the values of the indicators of development of the AI economy in Russia. As a result, we revealed the specific features of its Russian model. The first feature is that in Russia, the key participant of the AI economy is the government, and the role of business, despite its being a secondary player, constantly grows. The second feature is that Russia successfully strengthens technological sovereignty in the sphere of the AI economy. The main conclusion is that in the Russian model, the advantages of the AI economy are connected with the growth of the share of knowledge-intensive employment and an increase in the quality of life, and its risks consist in a possible slowdown of the growth rate of labour productivity and reduction of the quality of products. The managerial significance of the paper is that the compiled econometric model generalised the leading experience of the top 30 AI economies in the world in 2023 and disclosed the cause-and-effect relationships of its development. The practical significance is that the authors’ forecast outlined the perspective of the development of the AI economy in Russia in the Decade of Science and Technologies until 2031.

Hematological complications in dengue
Authors: Pires João Paulo dos Santos , Oliveira Thaís Ranielle Souza de
Published: March 2024

Dengue, transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, is an acute febrile illness with symptoms ranging from fever to severe complications like hemorrhagic fever. Approximately 500 million people in the Americas are at risk, making it an emerging tropical disease. This study reviews hematological complications associated with dengue from 2003 to 2023, addressing lymphohistiocytosis, thrombocytopenia, coagulation abnormalities, and others. Lymphohistiocytosis, often underdiagnosed due to its similarity to dengue, carries a risk of fatal outcomes. Thrombocytopenia, common in severe cases, is linked to disseminated coagulation. Sickle cell anemia exacerbates dengue due to intravascular hemolysis, leading to hospitalizations and transfusions. Dengue can suppress bone marrow, complicating sickle cell anemia. Hematological findings include thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and anemia. Early diagnosis and personalized treatment are emphasized, especially for sickle cell patients. Effective management requires an integrated approach, considering each patient's characteristics.
Computer screening of peptidomimetics and small-molecule ligands of B-cell membrane proteins for therapy of Burkitt lymphoma
Authors: Demianenko Iryna , Bakhmach Anastasiia
Published: March 2024

The capabilities of molecular modelling and docking allow for the discovery of new potential drug agents to improve the treatment of diseases, which is a current concern. The objective of this study was to conduct in silico screening for antibody mimetics to B-cell membrane proteins for the treatment of Burkitt lymphoma through virtual screening. In this work, a standard protocol for structure-based virtual screening was employed, with the distinction that pharmacophores for screening were built not based on small-molecule ligands but on selected amino acid residues of antibodies. Based on literature data and the presence of a mechanism of direct cytotoxic action, as well as the availability of 3D structures of complexes, three monoclonal antibodies were selected: obinutuzumab, epratuzumab, and atezolizumab. The identification of biological targets was carried out by searching for 3D structures of selected complexes with target proteins in the Protein Data Bank. For virtual screening, the web service Pharmit was chosen. Using the Molecular Operating Environment program, pharmacophore models were constructed for three complexes: CD20 and obinutuzumab, CD22 and epratuzumab, and PD-L1 and atezolizumab. Docking with the CD20, CD22, and PD-L1 proteins was conducted at the binding sites recognised by the original antibody. Through in silico virtual screening using the Molecular Operating Environment software, a search for antibody mimetics to B-cell membrane proteins for Burkitt lymphoma treatment was conducted, resulting in the selection of 5 potential anti-lymphoma agents: CHEMBL505179 for the CD20 receptor, an antagonist of the melanocortin receptor for CD20 (PubChem-44406884), an inhibitor of blood clotting Factor Xa for CD22 (PubChem-136510605), and a blocker of epithelial Na+ channels for CD22 (PubChem-126761430), and an agonist of the melanocortin receptor for PD-L1 (PubChem-25078192). The obtained results can be applied in the pharmaceutical industry and oncological practice to enhance therapeutic outcomes in the treatment of patients with Burkitt lymphoma

Background: Hamstring strains are a common injury among athletes, particularly affecting those involved in sports requiring high-speed running and abrupt movements, such as cricket. The association between these injuries and factors like fatigue has been of particular interest within the sports medicine community, aiming to enhance injury prevention and management strategies.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of hamstring strains and their association with fatigue among domestic cricketers in Lahore, Pakistan, providing insights into effective strategies for injury prevention and management in this athletic population.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2022 to May 2023 among 82 domestic cricketers in Lahore, using non-probability convenient sampling. Participants underwent assessments including the Functional Assessment Scale for Acute Hamstring Injuries (FASH) and the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS), alongside demographic and physical fitness data collection. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 25, with the chi-square test applied to evaluate the association between hamstring strain and fatigue.
Results: The average age of participants was 26.68±1.395 years, with the majority (81.7%) having a normal BMI. About 28.0% of the athletes reported hamstring strains, with varying degrees of pain from mild to severe. The chi-square test indicated a significant association between hamstring strains and fatigue (p<0.001), highlighting fatigue as a key factor in the occurrence of hamstring injuries among cricketers.
Conclusion: The study underscores the significant prevalence of hamstring strains among domestic cricketers in Lahore and their association with fatigue. These findings emphasize the necessity for targeted interventions focusing on fatigue management to mitigate the risk of such injuries, thereby enhancing athlete health and performance sustainability.

Authors: Wijaya Haryadi , Setiawan Hadi
Published: March 2024

The knowledge and skills of a ship's crew can play a key role in preventing collisions. The Bridge Watchkeeping Duty becomes crucial in this context, as they are the first to detect potential threats. Given the increasing risks in maritime transportation and the need to prevent ship collisions, several steps can be taken. One of them is to effectively carry out the tasks and functions of the Bridge Watchkeeping Duty. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the Bridge Watchkeeping Duty, specifically, the efforts to prevent sea collisions conducted by the Ship's Bridge Watchkeeping Service, and how its theoretical and practical implementation is carried out in the field. This qualitative study uses a descriptive method to describe and elaborate on the study object, namely the John Lie training ship. The study will include quotations from various data sources such as interviews, field notes, memos, and other official documents. Data analysis in this study uses the techniques of Miles and Huberman. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of these duties and responsibilities must always be based on a deep understanding of various national and international maritime regulations, as well as knowledge of the characteristics of the ship and its surrounding environment. Additionally, implementing regulations such as the 2010 Manila Amendments to the STCW 2010 is also important to ensure the welfare and fitness of the watchkeepers so they can perform their duties and responsibilities optimally. This study has several limitations, such as variables that need to be explored further, such as the psychological aspects of bridge watchkeepers who bear a heavy workload, extreme sea weather conditions, and ship facilities that support collision prevention activities. Thus, this study is expected to provide constructive thoughts and suggestions for maritime transportation stakeholders, particularly sailors and crew members, regarding the importance of properly implementing the Bridge Watchkeeping Duty. Focus on the human aspect in preventing ship collisions at sea through the Ship's Bridge Watchkeeping Service.

Authors: Sonoda Akihiro
Published: March 2024

Japan has the largest aging population in the world, and kidney function declines with age. Therefore, when administering renally excreted drugs to older patients, the dosage should be adjusted according to the kidney function. This study addresses the appropriate use of renally excreted drugs in older patients in two topics. The first topic is concerned with the author’s experience with cibenzoline overdose, which led the author to conduct a survey of renally excreted drugs and establish an in-hospital prescription checking system for these drugs. The second topic clarifies the usefulness of serum creatinine-based kidney function estimation equations for predicting the area under the concentration-time curve of vancomycin in bedridden older patients. Based on these findings, the importance of pharmaceutical interventions by pharmacists in the pharmacotherapy of older patients with reduced kidney function is discussed

Los tres niveles del comercio triangular en el Pacífico, 1565-1634
Authors: Rosenblitt B Jaime
Published: March 2024

Se analiza el circuito de intercambio conocido como “comercio triangular”, que funcionó en la cuenca del Pacífico entre los puertos de Manila, Acapulco y Callao. Aunque inicialmente esta circulación favoreció la consolidación de las principales colonias de España en América y Asia, pronto la monarquía hispana resintió la integración económica de estas posesiones ya que dejó de percibir los ingresos tributarios esperados del comercio transatlántico. Los principales financistas de la política imperial hispana también se vieron perjudicados, porque el masivo arribo de manufacturas chinas al mercado americano vulneró el monopolio que supuestamente tenían los productos europeos que llegaban por la ruta Atlántica. Se examinan los intereses contrapuestos de los actores involucrados, como mercaderes coloniales, autoridades americanas y planificadores imperiales.
Los irlandeses en Hispanoamérica y la reconfiguración comercial: casos de mediación trans-imperial en la Era de las Revoluciones, 1797-1824
Authors: Besseghini Deborah
Published: March 2024

Este trabajo plantea que se puede entender mejor la gran reconfiguración de actores, redes y canales del comercio en la Era de las Revoluciones, estudiando no solo los cambios políticos y reformas económicas, sino las transformaciones y adaptaciones de los mediadores trans-imperiales ante la caída de los imperios atlánticos. Entre estos mediadores destacaremos a los irlandeses, quienes tras conectar los dos principales campos enemigos en la lucha final entre estos imperios en el siglo XVIII –España y Francia por un lado y Gran Bretaña por el otro–, proporcionaron bases y herramientas para la inserción en el mundo hispano de nuevos protagonistas del comercio a larga distancia. El artículo presenta las trayectorias sutilmente cruzadas –entre Buenos Aires, Chile, Perú y México– de un grupo familiar irlandés que actuó en uno de los llamados “Bullion Contracts” y después en la apertura de las relaciones entre Gran Bretaña y México; y de algunos comerciantes hispano-irlandeses que colaboraron con actores británicos y estadounidenses en la reconfiguración imperial y comercial empujada por la independencia. Se evidencia así como las redes trans-imperiales irlandesas funcionaron no solo como conectores de imperios en la época mercantilista, sino como conectores entre la globalización temprana y la globalización decimonónica.

Published: March 2024

This research explores the history and administrative evolution of the Gilgit Baltistan (GB) region, employing a comprehensive approach that combines historical analysis and empirical investigation. The study spans from the region's earliest history, characterized by limited accessibility and remote location, to its pre-independence eras divided into BCE to the 7th century, monarchs' invasion era (8th to 18th century), and the European colonization to Dogras (Sikhs) era (1840 to 1947-48). The research highlights vital dynasties and influences during each phase, emphasizing the role of Dogras as the last rulers before independence. The study explores GB's independence in two consecutive years, with Gilgit gaining independence in late 1947 and Baltistan in 1948, marking Pakistan's independence as a catalyst for the region's freedom. The affiliation with Pakistan, driven by the "Two Nation Theory" and Islamic principles, is detailed, emphasizing the sequence of regional affiliations with Yasin, Gilgit, and the states of Hunza and Nagar. The standpoint of Pakistan on GB as part of the Kashmir dispute is analyzed, and the region's constitutional status is examined. Despite being affiliated with Pakistan since its independence, GB lacks representation in the upper and lower houses of the Pakistani parliament as of 2023. The research methodology traces the administrative development of GB, from advisory councils to the current Gilgit Baltistan legislative assembly, reflecting the region's political transformation. The study concluded by detailing the latest government in power, providing a thorough understanding of the region's historical overview and contemporary governance.
Large merchant ships in Roman times: the Spritsail legacy, Part II
Authors: Davey Christopher J.
Published: March 2024

Iconographic evidence and the shipwreck archaeological record seem to indicate that merchant ships dramatically increased in size and tonnage toward the end of the 2nd century BC. The experience gained from sailing replicas, such as the Kyrenia II, has demonstrated that ships powered by a single mainsail lacked controlled manoeuvrability and sometimes needed to resort to auxiliary power such as oars. It is argued that the development of the spritsail-artemon discussed previously (Davey 2015) provided the necessary means to control ships and thereby facilitated this increase in size.
A Silver Roman Coin of Elagabalus and the Ship of State Tradition
Authors: Smith Jonathan
Published: March 2024

The significance of a scarce Roman coin type, RIC IV 188, an example of which was found in the Shapwick Hoard in 1998, has been largely overlooked. This paper analyses its iconography in the light of its Syrian-Roman context, the Graeco-Roman ‘Ship of State’ tradition, and other Elagabalus coins found at Shapwick. The conclusion is that RIC IV 188 is significant for presaging a theocratic coup by the Emperor Elagabalus and is the only primary source for his sea crossing from Asia to Europe in AD 219.

Published: March 2024

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of Sodium Azide's sensitivity (0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5%) on three genotypes of field pea viz., Makhyatmubi, Makuchabi, and Rachna. In M1 generation, a dose-dependent decrease was observed for seed germination, seedling height and plant survival. The pollen fertility showed a negative dependence on Sodium Azide's dose as evident from proportionate decrease in fertility with the mutagen's increasing concentration in all the three varieties. The loweest pollen fertility was noted in a Makuchabi (83.76%) at 0.5% Sodium Azide. The four types of chlorophyll mutation (chlorina, xantha, albina, and viridis) were screened from the M2 population. Chlorina type of mutation was induced with the highest frequency at all the concentrations regardless of the variety studied. The greater concentration of Sodium Azide was observed to induce an extensive range of chlorophyll mutation in all the genotypes. However, the overall spectrum of chlorophyll mutation induced in field pea was in the following order; chlorina > viridis > xantha > albina. The magnitude of mutagenic effectiveness exposed a variety of response; it decreased with the increasing concentration of Sodium Azide on the varieties Makhyatmubi and Rachna, while on the other hand a rising trend of it was observed in the case of Makuchabi. Sodium Azide's efficiency for most of the treatment decreased with increase in the concentration in genotypes of Makhyatmubi and Rachna but for Makuchabi, it increased with the concentration in a decreasing trend.

Ashwagandha [Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal] roots have been used for Indian traditional medicine applications including for the control of fever, asthma, arthritis, rheumatism, inflammation, tuberculosis, mental diseases, and male sexual disorders.  The multipurpose use of Ashwagandha has numerous other beneficial health effects that are relevant in light of pharmaceutical perspectives. This review aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the botanical description and ethnobotanical uses of ashwagandha. An online survey was accompanied for traditional applications of ashwagandha extracts. Appropriate data was obtained from several electronic scientific databases, and additional information was also obtained from other relevant sources like textbooks and local prints and scripts. This review investigates and presents the relevant information on ashwagandha, and its botany and ethnopharmacological uses. Future online survey studies are needed to understand the bioactive mechanisms of alkaloids and steroidal lactone compounds and their effects upon their consumption, through which we can facilitate the protection of human health from several diseases.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the first most vital cereal share for the productivity, but the second in its production area coverage next to tef, in Ethiopia. However, its development and productivity are influenced by biotic and abiotic factors. The absence of tolerant maize verities and or inbreed lines also another significant problem. Therefore, the present study was targeted to assess the magnitude of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance of traits, to verify the genotypic and phenotypic associations between essential characteristics and determine the relationship of features with grain yield and direct and indirect effects using path coefficient analysis. The experiment was conducted at Pawe Agricultural Research Center using 23 inbred lines with RCB design with 3 replications. Results revealed that significant (P<0.01) variations were observed between inbred lines in yield and yield-related traits. Moderate to the high genotypic coefficient of variation, heritability and genetic advance as the percentage of mean values were recorded for plant height, ear height and grain yield. Plant height, ear height and number of ears were observed significant to highly significant positive phenotypic and genotypic associations with grain yield. In contrast, days to 50% anthesis and silk emergence, plant and ear aspects were showed negatively significant associations with grain yield at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. The highest grain yield was recorded from A7033 (8.3 t ha-1), CML197 (6 t ha-1) and CML202 (5.5 t ha-1) and these lines could be best female parents’ foe crop maize improvement programs.
