Authors: Ramlah Ramlah
Published: September 2022

Efforts to increase the productivity and quality of foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P.Beauv.) to supporting domestic food diversification in Indonesia can be done through plant breeding programs by assembling superior varieties. The effort to obtain superior millet varieties that are specific in accordance with farmer wishes, requires the availability of informative germplasm, which is delivered through characterization activities. The use of molecular markers is a method that now has been proven to help accelerate the introgression of major genes into elite cultivars. The use of molecular markers as a plant selection tool has been carried out with greater accuracy. Selection with molecular markers is only based on plant genetic traits and is not influenced by environmental factors, so the results are more accurate than selection based on morphology. Molecular tests have vary in the way they are implemented to obtain data, both the technique and the desired level of target data, according to the ease of implementation, availability of human resources, facilities and funds of money. The molecular markers that have been used for plant breeding of foxtail millet are RFLP, AFLP, RAPD, Transposon, SSR-Microsatelite, and ISSR.

Editorial
Authors: Holderness Graham
Published: September 2022

Shakespeare’s interest in ancient Rome spans the whole of his dramatic career, from Titus Andronicus to Cymbeline, while Roman history and Latin culture permeate the whole of his work, well beyond the explicitly ‘Roman’ plays and poems. Critical interest has to some extent shifted from the historicist Roman plays based on Plutarch, Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra, and the pseudo-historical Coriolanus, to the outlying Roman plays that evidence greater generic diversity and stylistic innovation, the early Senecan tragedy Titus Andronicus and the late ‘British’ romance Cymbeline. In these latter plays, the complex interactions between past and present, that are the main subject of the formal histories, are presented with even more aesthetic flexibility and creative improvisation than the ‘Roman plays’ proper.
The Last Roman King
Authors: Ward Ian
Published: September 2022

This article revisits one of Shakespeare’s later, often rather neglected, plays. Shakespeare is thought to have written Cymbeline in 1609 or 1610, at much the same moment, it is commonly surmised, as other so-called ‘problem’ plays such as Pericles and The Winter’s Tale. Critics have rarely enthused over Cymbeline, lacking an obvious lead character, the action moving unsettlingly between Roman Britain and Renaissance Italy. Cymbeline has, though, something important to say about the constitutional politics of Jacobean England. King James I liked to style himself as the ‘new Augustus’. He also liked the absolutist idea of kingship which he discovered in his reading of the ‘old’ Augustus. In writing Cymbeline, Shakespeare sought a delicate balance, paying homage to the affinity, whilst also cautioning against uncritical reliance on Roman conceptions of magistracy.
Ninagawa’s Ancient Journeys
Authors: Gallimore Daniel
Published: September 2022

The Japanese director Ninagawa Yukio, who directed all four of the Roman plays between 2004 and 2014, noted the challenge he faced in making Shakespeare’s Roman settings accessible for native audiences, his typical strategy being Japanisation. Ninagawa’s Brechtian strategy works two ways in offering audiences a helpful perspective on cultural difference while harnessing Shakespeare’s humanism to the anti-rational energies of his theatre that modernity had earlier suppressed. This article explores the mythopoeic aspect of Ninagawa’s project first in the context of comparative religion and then with an analysis of his Antony and Cleopatra (2011), which was innovative in casting a Japanese-Korean actress from the western Kansai region as Cleopatra against an established Tokyo actor. The polytheism that native Shinto has in common with ancient Roman religion is a significant subtext.
Nathaniel Lee’s Politics of Sovereignty
Authors: Velissariou Aspasia
Published: September 2022

This article explores the chaotic violence in Nathaniel Lee’s tragedies, which, while clearly originating in the sovereign, by its sheer excess and blindness, is hypostasised as a motor of history. In Lee, violence is a reflection of the political anxieties surrounding the Exclusion Crisis but it is also intrinsic to the way he understands the nature of political life; in reality, it is constitutive of the very exercise of power. Drawing on Giorgio Agamben’s Homo Sacer I argue that sovereign violence is inscribed in a most savage form as the very foundation of the civil community, and, therefore, its autonomisation, as in Lee’s early plays, is only apparent. In Lucius Junius Brutus: Father of His Country (1680) the extreme sovereign assault on human life fully discloses its politically defined character because it is emblematically performed in the name of the institution of a new body politic, the Republic.

Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about an unthought of catastrophe to all aspects of life and has halted social, political, economic, religious, academic, and all other activities. The hospitality sector is one of the worst affected. This novel study investigates whether the COVID-19 outbreak has significantly changed the hospitality stock index sensitivity of the top two Asian tourist destinations. Outcome states that the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the hospitality sector's stock volatility. However, while two countries displayed a significant increase in riskiness, the beta of China remained stationary while that of Turkey was stationary. Also, a regressor trend in beta was observed for four of five countries. Finally, the study further brings out that information absorption due to the pandemic was triggered at different points of time for different countries. This study attempts to enquire into the nature of stationarity of beta of hospitality industry securities and also assess the extent of additional impact on the hospitality industry stocks because of the COVID-19 outbreak, if any.
The Structural and Social Determinants of Reproductive Behavioural Health
Authors: Ghoshal Roy Jayita , Roy Swastika
Published: September 2022

Reproductive health plays a crucial role to maintain a healthy status of an individual. Hence, it is a vital part that an individual has to keep in mind. The term “Reproductive Rights and Reproductive History” was coined in the “International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD)” held in 1994, and the term “Reproductive Health” was connoted as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and processes”. Collected detailed on reproductive behaviour of an individual now known as “Reproductive history”; is defined as “An important aggregate factor in epidemiological studies of women’s health. The concept usually includes the number and timing of pregnancies and their outcomes, the incidence of breast feeding, and may include age of menarche and menopause, regularity of menstruation, fertility, gynaecological or obstetric problems, or contraceptive usage.” Researchers, epidemiologists, along with medical personnel have chronicled their findings and voiced their concerns in maternal and reproductive health in various platforms at national and international levels. Some of these papers are focused on this topic. In the present discussion an attempt has been made to evaluate the role of structural and social determinants on reproductive health. The systematic analysis might help to pinpoint the populations that seem to be lacking in awareness of the importance of this vital but often ignored part of health and thus there is a lag in the reproductive health services.

Authors: Sazonov F. F.
Published: September 2022

Thus far, the world’s blackcurrant range comprises about 1,200 varieties and is constantly being improved. The most successful breeding programs for black currant have been implemented in Poland, England, Belarus, Ukraine, Sweden, Lithuania, Finland, Romania, China and Russia. However, the climatic conditions of several regions of the Russian Federation make it difficult to fully realize the biological potential of foreign varieties and they often do not correspond to the characteristics declared by the breeder. The study is aimed at making comprehensive assessment of the introducers to establish their selection potential and the possibility of industrial cultivation. The study was conducted in 2018-2021 in the black currant collection site of the Kokino station of Federal Horticultural Center for Breeding, Agrotechnology and Nursery (Bryansk region). 20 varieties of black currant of foreign breeding from different ecological and geographical groups were explored. A new local variety Kudesnik with average maturation time was taken for comparison. It was included in the State Register for Selection Achievements in 2022. An assessment of introduced black currant varieties by morphological character of plants revealed the features of their growth in the south-western conditions of the central Non-Black Earth region. Varieties that do not meet the requirements of modern intensive mechanized technologies have been established. In terms of plant height, the varieties Mriya, Nympha, Kupalinka, Cheryshneva, Amethyst, Sofiyivska and Triton do not meet the parameters appropriate for mechanical harvesting. It will be difficult to use berry harvesting equipment with the varieties Sofievskaya, Amethyst and Klussonovskaya due to the wide base of their bushes (>0.3 m). The varieties Sofievskaya and Klussonovskaya, with the highest yield (10 t/ha) do not meet the requirements of modern production in terms of bush mien and berries tearaway force. The best introducers (Sofievskaya, Klussonovskaya, Nympha, Mriya, Cheryshneva, Triton, Belorusochka, Kupalinka) with a yield of 8.3-10.0 tonnes/ha can be recommended for home gardening. A number of foreign varieties as genetic sources in breeding for berry strength (Cheryshneva, Ben Hope, Black Magic, Tiben); fruit size (Nympha); number of fruits in the claster (Triton, Cheryshneva); taste qualities (Mriya); high content of soluble solids (Ben Tirran, Sofievskaya, Mriya) and other characteristics of interest have been identified.

Published: September 2022

Measuring socio-economic and political value change needs a simple and valid interpretation at both collective and individual levels. However, surveys dealing with value change are limited and defective. This article aims on World Value Survey (WVS) and its academic significance in the study of political behavioural change in Bauchi state Nigeria 1999-2016, through, a qualitative method of data collection and analysis. Conclusion suggests that as a prominent and well-established academic source of data, the WVS instruments, and data are significant for the analysis of the changing political behaviour in Bauchi State. Considering that, the study centres only on the part of the WVS survey data on two dimensions of political behaviour: (1) formal political participation and (2) extra parliamentary activism. These two dimensions comprise nine values which include interest in politics, voting, protests, demonstrations, confidence in political parties, parliament, government, leadership and quality preferences randomly selected and adopted The adoption of these two important segments of the WVS data helped the analysis processes particularly in examining the trends and patterns of the changes in political behaviour as component of democratic attitude and value. WVS is also a means through which governments and its agencies will be influenced to make authoritative decisions (policies) for the continuity and democratic development.
Advocating for practical solutions to challenges of Nigerian Party politics

Published: September 2022

The major challenges connected to Nigeria’s political party politics includes ideology, corruption, money politics, ethno religious fragmentations, violence and a dominant ruling party with some opposition parties challenging each other. Studies on Nigerian political parties are narrow in advocating for practical solutions to the challenges of party politics in Nigeria, particularly considering the emerging shift in the voting choices of the citizens during the 2007 and 2019 general elections in Bauchi State. This indicates that the influence of political parties on voters appears to be in decline, or at the very least experiencing significant change. Thus, the nature of this evidence of decline and what it means for the future of parties and representative democracy needs to be investigated with realistic way out, which this study aims at through a qualitative method of data collection and analysis. The study concludes that, while political parties are reasonably and normatively important to the process of representative democracy, party politics in Nigeria should embrace a collective viewpoint and common ideology of serving and developing the welfare of the electorates as well as to aggregate, articulate, and stimulate the electorates interests in the form of policy alternatives. In addition, Nigerian political party system must be is a system of connections consequential from inter-party competition. This imply that each party as a component affects and is influenced in turn by the performance of the other parties within Nigeria’s political system.

Authors: P.Thirupathi  , Venkatraman B.R.
Published: September 2022

The inhibition actions of ethanolic extract of Enicostemma littorale (EL) leaves-Zn2+ for carbon steel (CS) surface in well water has been studied by mass-loss study, Tafel slopes, and Nyquist plots, Impacts of inhibitor concentration (100ppm-500ppm), temperatures (30◦C-70◦C), pH (3,8,12) and submersion period (1,3,7,12) were researched on the prevention capacity of the extract on CS submerged in well water. The adsorption of ethanolic extract of EL leaves onto the surface of CS pursued that as indicated by a Langmuir model. The Enicostemma littorale extract exposed a blended-type corrosion inhibitor in the considered environment as indicated by the electrochemical studies. Theoretical fittings for the corrosion kinetics and thermodynamic parameters have been determined to explain the method of adsorption of ethanolic extract of EL-Zn2+ on the CS surface. ΔGads values are less than -20KJ/mol. From these values, the adsorption of an inhibitor system is physisorption on the CS surface. Energy-dispersive X-ray technique was utilized to identify the elemental composition of the corrosion substances or potentially adsorbed inhibitor film on the CS. Scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and Fourier transfer infrared assessments affirm the development of a defensive layer by the ethanolic extract of Enicostemma littorale leaves on the CS surface in well-water.

Published: September 2022

Practicing sustainable chemistry is one of the best ways to address ‘man-made’ environmental perils. The decorum set by the laws of green chemistry can lead us towards mitigating such menace. Multi-component reactions are one such weapon in the armoury of a chemist towards developing and inventing commodities ranging from life-saving drugs to lifestyle products through sustainable synthetic methodologies. Though much advancement is accomplished in developing such reactions, a correlation between ‘environmentally benign operation’ and ‘mere synthesis’ is yet to be realized. Herein, we have tried to highlight the gradual advancement of this procedure and what still needs to be achieved to entice the philosopher within ourselves towards greener thoughts and ideas.

Authors: Ahmad H. H. , A. Nurdradjat  , H. Johanes  , Hariyanto A. D.
Published: September 2022

The study of chemical functional groups in coal using the methods of an FTIR investigation has been carried out on five samples of bituminous coal from Bintuni Basin in West Papua, Indonesia. The FTIR spectra fitting results reveal that the aromatic chains of Steenkool Coals (SC) were dominated compared to aliphatic and oxygen-bearing. The aromatic SC’s molecular structures are mainly C=C and C-H followed by -CH. The oxygen-bearing SCs are mainly - C-O-C; and contain a small amount of C=O. The -CH2- is mainly in aliphatic SC. The apparent aromaticity (fa), Hal/Ha, (R/Cu), and other semi-quantitative parameters from the compared FTIR data indicated that the aromatic is increased with a decrease in aliphatic and oxygen-containing groups. The potential for spontaneous combustion resulting from the bituminous coal of the SC is relatively small, as more aromatic and aliphatic functional groups are detected than the oxygen-bearing functional groups.

Published: September 2022

This study aims to evaluate the utilization of residual charcoal from the pyrolysis of oil palm shells as activated carbon for the adsorption of cadmium metal ions in a semi-continuous process. The charcoal was crushed with a ball mill to a size of 80-100 mesh and its activation was carried out chemically using 0.1 N NaOH. Cadmium metal ions were adsorbed in a semi-continuous operation using a cylindrical packed bed column, with variations in the inlet feed concentration, pH, column inside diameter, bed height, and flow rate. The initial concentration of cadmium before and after the adsorption was tested on an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The adsorption isotherms were evaluated using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherm models. The results showed that the best adsorption capacity was obtained at an initial concentration of 120 mg/L, pH 5, inside diameter of 26 mm, bed height of 50 cm, and flow rate of 10 ml/min. The isotherm model of cadmium metal ion adsorption followed the Langmuir isotherm with R2 = 0.99.
THE USE OF NANO-SIZED NATURAL SILICA TO VISIBLE LIGHT PHOTOCATALYST AS A MASK COATING FOR INACTIVATION OF SARS-CoV-2: A REVIEW
Authors: Eddy D. R.
Published: September 2022

Research on antiviral agents to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 is still a concern of researchers. Many innovations have been made, one of which is coating the surface of cloth masks using photocatalyst materials. Visible light photocatalysts have been shown to have antimicrobial properties in sunlight. The study of material modification becomes important to select and optimize the supporting materials used. We observed that modifications with nano-silica particles (SiO2) have good transmission capabilities and can be produced from natural sources (biological and non-biological). Therefore, this utilization is carried out to apply the principle of zero waste, namely renewable natural sources as a source/precursor of nano-silica. In this study, we focus on renewable research related to the use of natural nano-silica as supporting material for visible light photocatalysts will be explored to be coated on polyester mask fabrics as an effort to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 on the surface of the mask.

Adsorption ability of Balsamodendron caudatum wood squander is efficient to remove Direct Red 83 in textile squander water association. Balsamodendron caudatum wood waste activated nanoporous carbon material (BANC) and was treated with phosphoric acid to pick and choose up adsorption competence for the elimination of Direct Red 83(C.I. No 15418-16-3). The treatment (BANC) with phosphoric acid was analyzed by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, and TGA-DTA examination. The present study deals with the use of BANC waste as adsorbent for the removal of Direct Red 83 dye from its solution. The studies illustrate that sorption is motorized by the first dye concentration. Dye solution pH and sorption temperature have been investigated in the present study. A Kinetic study of Direct Red 83 followed the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich models respectively. Up attempt points out that the pseudo-first-order kinetic model was created to evaluate the new data well.

Blood Profile of Rattus Nurvegicus Exposed to HgCl2 and Received Combination of IR Bagendit Rice Leaves-Infused Water and Young Coconut Water
Authors: Santosa Budi
Published: September 2022

Mercury chloride (HgCl2) is widely used in industries; in fact, this chemical substance is deadly for health and causes various health problems, such as liver damage, kidney damage, and hematopoietic disorders, especially in erythropoiesis. This study aims to determine the blood profile in Rattus nurvegicus exposed to HgCl2 by combining IR Bagendit rice leaves-infused water and young coconut water. This study employed an experimental method to examine the positive control group exposed to HgCl2 and the negative control group receiving a placebo. Meanwhile, the treatment groups received a combination of IR Bagendit rice leaves-infused water in stratified compositions and young coconut water. The hematologic profile was examined using a hematologic analyzer, while the reticulocyte count was examined using wet and dry methods. The mean value of each group was tested using ANOVA. This study has successively obtained average levels of Hb (C+ 12,0;C- 14,2;T1 12,5;T2 12,9;T3 12,8), the erythrocyte count (C+ 6,52;C- 7,80;T1 1,44;T2 1,07;T3 7,32), levels of Ht (C+ 35,5;C- 42,9;T1 37,8;T2 37,9;T3 38,2), MCV (C+ 73,7;C- 79,9;T1 80,4;T2 78,7;T3 79,6), MCH (C+ 27,3;C- 29,9;T1 29,5;T2 28,5;T3 29,1), and MCHC (C+ 31,1;C- 34,2;T1 31,9;T2 33,3;T3 32,1), and the reticulocyte count (C+ 2,0;C- 1,2;T1 1,3;T2 1,1;T3 1,3). The significant differences in the groups are found in levels of Hb, Ht, MCV, and MCHC (p-value 0,00; 0,00; 0,03; 0,01). This study concludes that combining IR Bagendit rice leaves-infused water and coconut water could prevent blood profile exposure to HgCl2. Suggestions for further research to increase the intervention time and measure oxygen levels.
A katonai-védelmi követelmények érvényesülésének vizsgálata a 142-es számú Budapest–Lajosmizse–Kecskemét-vasútvonal tervezett fejlesztése kapcsán
Authors: Lévai Zsolt
Published: September 2022

A vasúti közlekedési rendszer egy ország gazdasági és társadalmi életének szerves része. Megfelelő  működésükhöz szükséges, hogy a pályák állapota és a vasúti szolgáltatások minősége elérje a kor megfelelő  műszaki színvonalát. Különösen igaz ez az ország  legnagyobb városához kötődő vonalakra. A Budapestre  vezető vasútvonalak felújítása az utóbbi években  elkezdődött. A soron következő pályarekonstrukciók egyike  a Budapestet Kecskeméttel összekötő 142-es vonal felújítása, amelynek terveit a Budapest Fejlesztési Központ  közzé is tette. Ez a vasútvonal ugyanakkor nemcsak polgári, hanem katonai értelemben is fontos az általa kiszolgált katonai bázisok miatt. A közlekedési infrastruktúra  felújításakor, különösen, ha annak katonai szempontból is  van jelentősége, érdemes a katonai-védelmi követelmények  érvényesülését is vizsgálni, hogy adott  infrastruktúra elláthassa mind a polgári, mind pedig a  katonai közlekedési rendszerben neki szánt feladatokat. Cikkemben ezt a vizsgálatot végzem el a 142-es vonal tervezett felújítása okán. Vizsgálatom eredményei alapján  javaslatokat teszek a további szükséges fejlesztésekre.
Influence of Internal Courtyards on the Energy Load and Hours of Illuminance in Row Houses in Toronto
Authors: Vaisman German
Published: September 2022

Natural daylight is desirable in locations where winter days are short. With
narrow front and long depth, row houses interiors in Toronto tend to be dark, as
natural light cannot penetrate to the central portion of the house. This study
aims to contribute to the development of guidelines for designers using
courtyards to create better space quality and to add to occupants’ delight,
health and wellbeing. It examines the potential benefits and drawbacks of
internal courtyards in houses located in cold climates and the implications of
such design on the energy performance, natural light and lighting consumption.
The simulations showed that the window to wall ratio doesn’t have major
influence on the hours of daylight inside the house. The main results also show
significant improvement of the hours of illuminance in the interior, with higher
increases in the shorter days of the year when light is more needed.
