Published: January 2021

Alfalfa is one of the most important forage crops worldwide because of its wide range of adaptability and good forage quality. Seed yield is generally considered to be of secondary importance and is characterized by often poor seed yield and seed quality. A field experiment was conducted to determine the impact of boric acid foliar applications along with a basal dose during anthesis to enhance the alfalfa seed yield in agro-ecological conditions of Sargodha. In foliar boric acid fertilization 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 boric acid along with basal dose 23-80-50 (NPK kg ha-1) was used. Phosphorous and potash were applied at the time of sowing while nitrogen will be applied in two split doses; half at sowing time and half of 1st irrigation. Two foliar applications, 1st at intensive plant growth stage and the 2ndat the beginning of the blossoming of the crop. The concentration of boric acid solutions used were 2 ,4 , 6 ,8 and 10 glit-1 which produces a seed yield of 161.7, 167.9,171.3, 175.0,186.7 and 176.1 kg ha-1 in year 2015-16 while next year in 2016-17 produces a seed yield of 286.5, 299.2,304.6, 308.3, 312.1 and 310.1kg ha-1 respectively which is higher than year 2015-16. Foliar fertilization with boron influenced forming of slightly higher number of seeds in the pod. Boron influenced the average increase of yield, with a slightly greater difference compared to control. Number of seeds per pod in boric acid dose of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 remained 6.1, 6.3, 6.4, 6.6, 6.8 and 6.7respectively in year 2016-17 which were higher than 4.3,4.4,4.5, 4.5,4.9 and 4.7 in year 2015-16. Overall 8 g liter-1 boric acid foliar fertilization produces 8.9 % higher seed yield, 11.4 % higher no of seeds per pod compared to control in the year 2016-17 while produces 15.4% higher seed yield and 13.9 % higher no of seeds per pod as compared to control in the year 2015-16.

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) silencing, RNA interference (RNAi) or post-transcriptional gene silencing takes place in a variety of eukaryotes and it was discovered firstly in the plants. The RNA silencing process is activated by a trigger from dsRNA predecessor. A very important step in the silencing pathways the conversion of dsRNA into small duplexes of RNA of the representative length and arrangement. Then these small dsRNA monitor RNA silencing by different mechanisms. Post transcriptional gene silencing mechanisms were initially identified as an anti-viral process that give protection to the organisms from the viruses or which inhibit the unsystematic incorporation of transposable components. The basic aim of this review article is to study the mechanism of gene silencing by dsRNA and the roles of certain proteins in cellular post transcriptional RNA silencing machinery and finally we also discuss the RNA silencing as an anti-viral defense mechanism in the plants.

Published: January 2021

This research was conducted in 2015 year in Kahramanmaras province (37°32'09.5"N 36°55'01.2"E) with 3 lentil genotypes (CAGIL, FIRAT-87, and FLIP 2005-20 L). In the research, direct and indirect effects of yield components on seed yield were examined by correlation and path coefficient analysis. The correlation coefficients between the investigated features were found to be insignificant. According to the path coefficients, the highest positive direct effect on seed yield was determined as pod number per plant (p=4.015). On the other hand, the highest negative direct effect on seed yield was obtained from plant height (p=-3.606). The indirect effect of the seed number per plant over number of days until maturity on the seed yield was determined as the highest positive indirect effect (p=55.546%). The indirect negative highest effect on seed yield was determined in the pod number per plant over thousand seed weight (p=51.488%). As a result, the number of pods per plant should be taken into consideration by the breeders due to direct effect of it was positive and high

Berbagai upaya dilakukan untuk mencegah penularan corona virus. Pengobatan saat ini hanya untuk penanganan gejala yang muncul. Olehnya itu, peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat dalam bentuk sosialisasi merupakan salah satu cara untuk upaya pencegahan. Perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat (PHBS) merupakan pola dalam kehidupan sehari-hari yang harus diterapkan untuk mencegah penularan. Saat ini dikenal 3 M (Memakai masker, Mencuci tangan dan Menjaga jarak) yang harusnya diterapkan oleh masyarakat agar mengurangi kejadian Covid-19. Sosialisasi perlu dilakukan secara menyeluruh di seluruh lapisan masyarakat, termasuk di panti Asuhan. Target sosialisasi yang dilakukan oleh tim peneliti adalah Panti Asuhan Al- Faqri di Antang. Dimana di kawasan panti menurut informasi dari kader posyandu setempat masih kurang pemahaman tentang wabah covid-19 yang saat ini terjadi. Olehnya itu, tim peneliti melakukan kegiatan sosialisasi pada Panti asuhan Al-Faqri untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan anak-anak panti tentang PHBS dan upaya pencegahan yang harus dilakukan untuk mencegah penularan covid-19.

This paper focuses on foreign direct investments in Kosovo, based on a comparative statistical analysis of different sectors of economic activity and different countries of the world that have invested in Kosovo during the reporting period under study. We make use of the comparative analysis expressed in (%) by sorts of economic activity and aim to conclude which sector is more invested by foreign direct investment in Kosovo according to its economic activity. Whereas, through comparative analysis by different countries of the world that have invested in Kosovo, we aim to determine which are the countries that have mostly invested in foreign direct investment in Kosovo, and the level of performance of foreign direct investments during the reported period under study. The data were provided by the Central Bank of Kosovo for the period 2007-2019. In this paper we reflect the performance of foreign direct investments by years based on different sectors of economic activities and by different countries that have invested in Kosovo by applying the comparative analysis.

Science Represented in Newspapers in the Constitutional Monarchy and the 1st Republic. A Study in Faial Island, the Azores, Portugal
Authors: Serpa Sandro , Ferreira Carlos Miguel 
Published: January 2021

This study aims to apprehend the representations of science published in two local newspapers (O Faialense and O Telégrafo) published in the periphery of Portugal (Faial Island, the Azores), in the last quarter of the 19th and early 20th century. For this purpose, the authors carried out a thematic and qualitative analysis of the news collected in these two newspapers. Results allow concluding that, while Positivism is considered one of the main currents of thought justifying the rise of the republican logic, which culminated in the revolution that deposed the constitutional monarchy regime and implemented the republican regime in 1910 in Portugal, the research carried out shows a growing appreciation and visibility of the importance ascribed to both science and technology, without, however, any explicit association with political ideologies. This may be due to the type of search carried out and the editorial lines of the two newspapers, as well as – or also – to their peripheral geographical location concerning the propagation of these ideas.

clauses remains a debatable issue with incomplete solution in the Albanian syntax. The lack of a proper criterion for classification, structuring of clauses makes predicative clauses not treated properly, a few attentions is paid to them moreover they are explained superficially. This type of subordinate clause leaves room for treatments and discussions. They are among the most specific types of dependent clauses in Albanian. In the treatment of the subject, it is intended to explain the syntactic structures of these clauses, to describe as fully as possible the syntactic functions. It will address some conceptions and perspectives on Albanian syntaxes starting from the earliest to the present day. It has been selected the following grammars: the grammar of J. Rrota, M. Domi, S. Prifti, Th. Dhimës, M. Toton, M. Çeliku and the grammar of the Academy 2 (2002) etc.
