Authors: Tonny Nasida Binta Wahab , Palash Md Salauddin , Moniruzzaman Md
Published: June 2019

The paper investigated the magnitude of social parameters’ impacts on effective use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in agricultural marketing by the farmers. In addition, how farmers identify information sources and how they access to those sources in selected areas of Jamalpur district were also examined. Purposive sampling method was used in this investigation and data were collected from eighty farmer’s thorough survey questionnaire.  Descriptive statistics, Likert scale and multivariate regression model were used to analyze the data. Multivariate regression model was specified and estimated to identify the factors affecting use of ICT by farmers. The outcome of this study highlights important factors for the use of ICT. It is evident from the findings that the users of ICT are getting better quality information and are hence making significantly better decisions on all aspects of agricultural marketing. Regression analysis revealed that two factors i.e. cultivated land of farmers and level of education were the important factors of using of ICT by farmers. Modern ICT tool such as mobile phone was the most used device by the farmers due to low price and availability. They collected most of the information regarding the marketing activities of their produce by mobile phone from other progressive farmers, traders and agricultural extension workers. Social imperative findings of this paper might be helpful for the policy maker to emphasis on further extension of mobile phone based agricultural marketing information system in Bangladesh.

Published: June 2019

Sunflower is an important oil seed crop which is well fitted in Robi season of the coastal areas of Bangladesh.  This study focused on sunflower value chain map, value addition, value chain governance and institutional linkages, and stakeholders and their roles and responsibilities in value adding process of sunflower. A total of 60 respondents were interviewed by using pretested questionnaire. A combination of purposive and snowball sampling techniques was used to select the respondents. Descriptive analytical technique was used to achieve the objectives. The study found that farmers were hardly engaged in sunflower marketing activities. The value chain map comprised of collectors/assemblers, processors, wholesalers and retailers. On an average, total costs (production and marketing) incurred by the farmers were Tk.  11,986.30/acre (100 decimals) of sunflower. Assemblers received a total gross margin of Tk. 588/100 kg of sunflower seeds. At wholesale node the total gross margin was found to be Tk. 209/100kg of sunflower seeds. It was observed that processor received gross margin of Tk. 878. The processors were the pivotal point for the sunflower oil in the study area. The findings revealed that 40% of the total sunflower seed productions were sold by farmers to chain actors in while the remaining 60% was left for own consumption.  It was also found that there was certain arrangements of producers and traders in case of production and marketing of sunflower. The main business challenge in sunflower production is scarcity of quality seed and the marketing challenge is fluctuation of prices. Thus, policy should be guided to supply quality seeds and maintain the stable price of sunflower.

Authors: Basir Md. Samiul , Billah Muhammad Mustagis , Rabbani Muhammad Ashik-E-
Published: June 2019

A motor-operated maize seeder was designed and fabricated. The performance of the seeder was tested in laboratory and compared with a manual-operated seeder. Hybrid maize seed variety, Sunshine NK40 by Syngenta, was used for the performance test of the seeder during January to April/2017. The two seeders, manual-operated and motor-operated, provided an average seed spacing of 22.48 cm and 20.94 cm, respectively, while the standard seed spacing for maize is 20 cm. The seed spacing of the motor-operated seeder varied from the standard value because of the trapping of seed between the seed hopper and metering device. The missing rate of the manual seeder was 13.2% while the motor-operated seeder provided a missing rate of 5.9%. Due to constant forward speed, the motor-operated seeder resulted in 2.3 times lesser missing rate than the manual seeder. The seed rate of the manual- and motor-operated seeder was found to be 30 kg/ha and 25.7 kg/ha, respectively, although both the seeders were calibrated to maintain a constant seed rate of 25 kg/ha. The field capacity and field efficiency of the existing manual seeder was found 0.128 ha/h and 76.65%, respectively, whereas the field capacity and field efficiency of the motor-operated seeder was found 0.135ha/h and 74.76%, respectively. The motor-operated seeder has a limitation of time loss during turning and the required time loss resulted in low field capacity and field efficiency. Break-even analysis shows that at the yearly use of 0.23 hectares, the operation cost of manual seeder and hand application method were the same. Therefore, manual seeder will be beneficial to the farmers when the annual use exceeds 0.23 hectares of land. Compared to manually-operated seeder, the motor-operated seeder can reduce seed requirement by reducing missing rate and save labor and time of operation if the time loss during turning can be minimized.

Climate-induced historical drift of reference evapotranspiration in Mymensingh region of Bangladesh
Authors: Mousumi Khadiza Akhter , Mojid Md. Abdul , Ahmad Tanvir , Uddin Md. Zamil , Parvez Md. Ferdous
Published: June 2019

Reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) is essential for planning and management of irrigation to ensure optimum utilization of a region’s available water resources. ETo being an indicator of atmospheric evaporative demand provides a measure of the integrated effect of climatic parameters like solar radiation, wind, temperature and humidity. Variation of these climatic parameters over long period of time alters ETo. The modified ETo is crucial for periodic adjustment of irrigation planning and management. This study evaluated variation of ETo and contribution of the climatic parameters to ETo-variation in Mymensingh region of Bangladesh by analyzing climatic data of 28 years (1990–2017). ETo was determined by FAO Penman-Monteith method and trends of ETo and its governing climatic parameters were evaluated by MAKESENS trend model. The ETo-governing climatic parameters revealed contrasting trends, which also varied in different months of the year. Net radiation and wind speed showed decreasing trend, while temperature and saturation vapor pressure deficit showed increasing trend. In spite of contrasting contributions of the climatic parameters, their combined effect reduced ETo with a resulting decreasing trend of the monthly average daily ETo over the months of the year except July. These results enhance our understanding of the effects of climate change on ETo and can help correct-planning of water resources for irrigated agriculture.

The dominance of individual retail chains in the segments of the sale of goods was determined. It has been established that the most developed regions in terms of trade are the largest cities and districts in terms of population and turnover. The modern trend of geographical expansion of trade networks in small and medium-sized regions of Belarus was noted. On an example of the largest trading networks the diffusion of expansion of trading territories is shown. The conclusion is drawn that, given the existing territorial structure, the development of new trade networks in most regions of the country is currently difficult and limited.
Identification of Mislabelling in Frozen Fish Fillets Based on DNA Barcoding Analysis
Authors: KOBAN BAŞTANLAR Evren
Published: June 2019

A number of studies have shown that
mislabelling and species substitutions in fish products are very common
worldwide. This fraud has two major aspects: economics and health.  Moreover, poor trading, and neglecting the
species conservation status are growing threats for fish stocks. First the type
and extend of this fraud in fish must be detected in order to take proper
actions. As some markers (e.g. protein analysis and morphological features) can
fail, DNA markers, especially sequencing of cytochrome oxidase I gene (or DNA
barcoding), is becoming a more widely preferred methodology for species
identification. In this study, DNA barcoding technique was employed to confirm
the species names written on the product packages of fish fillets purchased
from the market. The fillets were labeled as Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Among the 15 fillet samples analyzed, only
4 of them were labeled correctly. Seven (47%) of them were found to originate
from pangasius (Pangasianodon
hypophthalmus) and three of them were found to originate from a different
tilapia species (Oreochromis mossambicus).
This paper revealed a significant mislabelling of frozen fish fillets in
Turkey. Customers are making informed decisions based on many reasons (like
health issues or palate) and they have the right to eat what they think they
are paying for. The results indicate the necessity for taking immediate actions
and regulations against fraud in food items to sustain food quality and safety.

Aboriginal entrepreneurship in Russia: resources, technologies and social institutes
Authors: Novikova Natalia
Published: June 2019

Aboriginal entrepreneurship is seen as a new form of social organization. Economic activity in the enterprises of indigenous peoples is based on family and kinship ties, and focuses on traditional use of nature, as well as on the knowledge and culture of the peoples of the North.
Therefore, their entrepreneurship is limited by the traditional lifestyle, which is based on reindeer breeding, hunting, fishing, and gathering. The government authorities adopt laws and programs aimed at the preservation of the traditional lifestyle of indigenous peoples, but not at the development of free enterprise. Indigenous people offer the strategy of modern development, which is based on original culture and new social institutes. The author analyzes enterprises of Sakhalin (fishery), Yamal-Nenets AO (reindeer breeding) and Khanty-Mansi autonomous areas (cultural business, tourism) and considers the factors influencing development of native business and its place in modern market economy.
«How much does a fish tail weigh?»: ethnicity and bureaucracy in traditional fishing in the Ob North
Authors: Pivneva Elena A.
Published: June 2019

The article discusses the impact of government measures in regulating production of fish resources on daily life of fishing communities of the Ob North and on related public moods. The main conclusions are based on the data obtained during expeditionary works in Beloyarsky, Oktyabrsky and Berezovsky districts of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug–Ugra) and introduce indigenous peoples' opinions in scientific discourse. Associated normative documents, scientific literature and publications in the media were also used in the article.
The study identified positive and negative factors affecting the socio-economic condition of rural communities of the Ob North. It is noted that a wide system of state support has been formed in Yugra, which allows to promote the development of indigenous traditional economic activities including fishing. At the same time, in reality people faced many bureaucratic obstacles that impede realization of their legal rights and make them « involuntary poachers». Among such obstacles are: the declarative principle of granting rights to fish production; quotas for personal consumption; restrictions on fishing gear, species of fish and the timing of its catch; complicated procedure for accounting catch amount and reporting on it; selling problems; imperfection of legislative and regulatory framework on the basis of which traditional fishing is carried out.
Special attention is paid to identification of collisions related to the lack of documentary evidence of the Russian Federation citizens belonging to indigenous peoples. It makes difficult the implementation of their rights provided by the legislation and confuses environmental authorities, which are monitoring the legality of the extraction (catch) of water resources. Existing situation creates potential conflicts and requires corresponding changes in the current legislation

Published: June 2019

Private business schools in India face a regular problem of picking quality students for their MBA programs to achieve the desired placement percentage. Generally, such datasets are biased towards one class, i.e., imbalanced in nature. And learning from the imbalanced dataset is a difficult proposition. This paper proposes an imbalanced ensemble classifier which can handle the imbalanced nature of the dataset and achieves higher accuracy in case of the feature selection (selection of important characteristics of students) cum classification problem (prediction of placements based on the students’ characteristics) for Indian business school dataset. The optimal value of an important model parameter is found. Experimental evidence is also provided using Indian business school dataset to evaluate the outstanding performance of the proposed imbalanced ensemble classifier.

Lubrication of Rough Short Bearing on Shliomis Model by Ferrofluid Considering Viscosity Variation Effect
Authors: Munshi Mohmmadraiyan M. , Patel A. R. , Deheri G. M.
Published: June 2019

This study aims to explore the impact caused by change in viscosity and the roughness of a bearing surface on a ferrofluid lubrication of Shliomis model for short bearing. Based on this model and the Tipei (1962) model, a new resultant Reynolds equation has been found that shows thermal variation. The Christensen and Tonder models have been taken to derive the transverse roughness stochastically. An assumed mean has been taken for the probability density function with a non-zero value. This value is assigned to a random variable that measures the bearing’s surface roughness. This creates a more realistic situation that can have a lot of field applications. The model defines the problem mathematically while defining boundary conditions. It also uses the Simpson’s method to derive a conclusion. The results thus obtained are discussed in terms of pressure distribution and load bearing capacity. The graphical results obtained suggest that in the presence of magnetization, there is a significant enhance in the load bearing capacity. This positive effect can easily nullify the negative impact of the thermal effect. The short bearing approximation shown here is an example of the probable applications. Ferrofluids in the presence of magnetic fields significantly enhance the performance of a short bearing.

Students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) present some of the greatest challenges faced by educators, and experience some of the most problematic outcomes. To increase the likelihood that students with EBD will be successful in school and in life, practitioners should implement effective interventions. Trustworthy research is the primary means to identify effective practices. Open science can be used to help verify research findings as trustworthy, as well as improve their accessibility. In this article, we discuss the open science movement and describe five open-science practices (i.e., preregistration, Registered Reports, open data and materials, open access and preprints, and open review) that may help increase the trustworthiness, efficiency, and impact of EBD research. We argue that the implementation of these practices may increase the field’s capacity to identify and verify truly effective practices, and facilitate broad accessibility of the research for all stakeholders; thereby improving policies and instructional practice for students with EBD.
