UTILIZATION OF CONVENTIONAL AND NON-CONVENTIONAL ORGANIC SOURCES AND INDUSTRIAL BY-PRODUCTS FOR YIELD MAXIMIZATION OF BRINJAL IN COASTAL SOIL
Authors: Venkatakrishnan D. 
Published: April 2018

This study was conducted to evaluate the response of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) with conventional, non-conventional organic source, industrial by-products combined with inorganic fertilizers. The treatments imposed were T1 – Control (100% RDF), T2-100% RDF + Municipal Solid Waste Compost @ 5 t ha-1, T3 – 100% RDF + Municipal Solid Waste Compost @ 10 t ha-1, T­4 – 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1, T5 – 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1, T6 – 100% RDF + Rice Husk Ash @ 5 t ha-1, T7 – 100% RDF + Rice Husk Ash @ 10 t ha-1, T8 – 100% RDF + Lignite Fly Ash @ 5 t ha-1, T9 – 100% RDF + Lignite Fly Ash @ 10 t ha-1. There were nine treatments combinations replicated thrice in CRD. The soil was sandy in texture with available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium of 257, 10.2 and 117 kg ha-1 respectively which fell in fertility status of low. The soil classified taxonomically as Typic Udisamments. The results showed that application of 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1 (T5) significantly increased yield attributes viz., fruit length (16.6 cm), fruit girth (15.2 cm), no. of fruits plant-1 (20.67), fruit weight (45.2 g) and fruit yield plant-1 (934.2 g plant-1). This treatment registered maximum quality attributes like ascorbic acid content (4.5 mg 100 g-1), crude protein (4.81%), drymatter of fruit (70.2 g plant-1) and dry matter of plant (81.3 g plant-1). The post harvest soil available N (148mgkg-1) and P (7.15mgkg-1)status was higher due to application of 100% RDF with Vermicompst @ 5 t ha-1 (T5). The post harvest available K (75.58mgkg-1) status recorded higher in the treatment T9 which received 100% RDF with Lignite Fly Ash @ 10 t ha-1 (T9).
Cognitive Evolution and the Transmission of Popular Narratives: A Literature Review and Application to Urban Legends
Authors: Stubbersfield Joseph M. , Flynn Emma G. , Tehrani Jamshid J. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Recent research into cultural transmission suggests that humans are disposed to learn, remember, and transmit certain types of information more easily than others, and that any information that is passed between people will be subjected to cognitive selective pressures that alter the content and structure so as to make it maximally transmittable. This paper presents a review of emerging research on content biases in cultural evolution with relevance to the transmission of popular narratives. This is illustrated with content analysis of urban legends, which found that most exploited at least one known content bias, with emotional information and social information being the most frequent. We argue that the narratives do not succeed because of the transmission of adaptively relevant information but because of their exploitation of content biases in human cognition.
Art in Early Human Evolution: Socially Driven Art Forms versus Material Art
Authors: Zaidel Dahlia W. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Art is a human communicative system that relies on referential cognition of thoughts, emotions, and experiences through symbolic meanings, which explains why only humans have art and why it is ubiquitously present throughout human societies. Archaeological evidence for early material art signals presence of symbolic and abstract cognition. In early human life in Africa the symbolism afforded by group dance formation would have been more advantageous for survival than individual artistic expression, but it would not leave archaeological physical traces. Slipping into synchronized movements is a natural form of expressing interpersonal unity and symbolically signaling the members' affiliation to the group. In sharp contrast, production of material art encourages individual virtuosity in talent, something only a select few would possess, and in this regard it is not as inclusive as group dance. It is proposed here that the early Homo sapiens relied on symbolic expressions of intermember unity through group dance.
Recent Critiques of Dual Inheritance Theory
Authors: Richerson Peter J. 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThe dual inheritance or gene–culture coevolution theory of human evolution was developed in the 1970s and 80s. Early work built mathematical theories derived from then-current work in human development, sociolinguistics, and the diffusion of innovations. More recently it has included a considerable amount of new empirical work. The theory has always had critics in evolutionary biology and the social and behavioral sciences. Morin's book critiques the theory from an alternate epidemiological or attraction theory of cultural evolution that doubts that imitation and adaptation play significant roles in cultural evolution. Lewens's book is a wide-ranging analysis of critiques of gene–culture coevolution theory that finds most of them in error or at least not fatal to the project. His book includes a chapter on critiques based on considerations of human nature, of which Morin's book is one variant, and which Lewens argues are faulty. That is also my conclusion.
Blues for a Blue Planet: Narratives of Climate Change and the Anthropocene in Nonfiction Books
Authors: Helsing Daniel 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThe planetary changes associated with the Anthropocene, including climate change and extinction of species, pose severe threats to civilization, humanity, and the natural world as we know it. They also pose special challenges to the human imagination. To meet these challenges, climate change communicators use narratives. Nonfiction books intended for a general audience employ two radically different narratives: the “We can solve it” (WCSI) narrative, and the “We won't solve it” (WWSI) narrative. The WCSI narrative currently dominates mainstream media and books, but there is a strong possibility that the WWSI narrative is closer to the truth. Differences between the two narratives center on the meaning and usefulness of hope. In Elizabeth Kolbert'sThe Sixth Extinction(2014)—a WWSI narrative—wonder, lament, and understanding replace hope. Strategies of nonattachment also fulfill psychological functions. A WWSI perspective provides a much-needed complement to the triumphant narrative inherent in most mainstream popular science.

Sebuah Analisis Terhadap Problematika Ajaran Restorasi Berkaitan Dengan Konsep Bumi Baru
Authors: Jatmiko Yudi 
Published: April 2018

Abstraks. The second coming of Christ is an event inalienable to mankind. In addition to declaring punishment for unbelievers, His second coming also fulfils the presence of a new heaven and earth in which the righteous will reign with Christ forever. Of this, the Bible records that "the heavens shall vanish with a great rumbling, and the elements of the world shall burn in the flames, and the earth and all that is therein shall pass away." But on the other hand, the view of restoration clearly teaches that the old heavens and the earth will not be totally destroyed, but renewed. Thus the problem arises: how could both of these things - the biblical concept of the new earth and the doctrine of restoration - be a harmonious truth? This paper seeks to explain and discuss the problematic teaching of the restoration in relation to the concept of the new earth. Through this paper the author hopes to elaborate the problematic of this topic clearly, especially regarding the alleged contradictions that exist. In addition, critical analysis is conducted to produce responsible solutions that contribute significantly to the study of eschatology, in which the authors believe that the teaching of restoration and the concept of the new earth is a harmonious and biblical truth.Abstrak. Kedatangan Kristus kedua kali merupakan peristiwa yang tidak dapat dielakkan oleh umat manusia. Selain untuk menyatakan penghukuman bagi orang yang tidak percaya, kedatangan-Nya yang kedua juga menggenapi hadirnya langit dan bumi yang baru di mana orang benar akan memerintah bersama dengan Kristus selama-lamanya. Mengenai hal ini, Alkitab mencatat bahwa “langit akan lenyap dengan gemuruh yang dahsyat dan unsur-unsur dunia akan hangus dalam nyala api, dan bumi dan segala yang ada di atasnya akan hilang lenyap.” Namun di sisi yang lain, pandangan restorasi dengan jelas mengajarkan bahwa langit dan bumi yang lama tidak akan dihancurkan secara total, melainkan diperbaharui. Dengan demikian timbul masalah: bagaimana mungkin kedua hal ini – konsep Alkitab tentang bumi yang baru dan ajaran restorasi – merupakan kebenaran yang harmonis? Tulisan ini berusaha memaparkan dan mendiskusikan problematika ajaran restorasi berkaitan dengan konsep bumi yang baru. Melalui tulisan ini penulis berharap dapat menguraikan problematika topik ini dengan jelas, khususnya mengenai dugaan kontradiksi yang ada. Selain itu, analisis kritis yang dilakukan diharapkan menghasilkan solusi yang bertanggungjawab sehingga memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan bagi studi eskatologi, dimana penulis meyakini bahwa ajaran restorasi dan konsep bumi baru merupakan kebenaran yang harmonis dan alkitabiah.

Authors: Putri Evi Jovita 
Published: April 2018

<p>The research entitled Directive Speech Act Seen on Family 2.0 Drama Script Written by Walter Wykes purposes to describe and uncover the types of form and intended meaning of directive speech act on that drama script. This descriptive research uses pragmatic approach and theory. The collecting and analysing data are focused on the using of declarative, imperative, and interrogative sentences in the text of drama. The forms of those sentences will be analysed to find out the types of form of directive speech act, while the context of those sentences will be used to analyze the intended meaning of directive speech act uttered by speakers. The results of the research are found that, first, there are two types of the form of directive speech acts, direct directive speech acts and indirect directive speech acts. Direct directive speech acts are represented by imperative sentence without subject; imperative sentence with let; and negative imperative sentence. Meanwhile the indirect directive speech acts are represented by declarative sentence statement; declarative sentence if clause; negative declarative sentences; and interrogative sentences. Second, the intended meanings seen on drama script of Family 2.0 are command, prohibition, request, treat, and persuasion. It can be concluded that, the most frequent intended meaning appeared in directive speech acts on this script is command by the use of imperative forms. Then, the declarative and interrogative forms are used to request something by adults charaters; in contrast the kids characters use them to command and prohibit the hearer.<strong></strong></p><strong>Keywords: </strong> family 2.0, pragmatic, speech act, directive, form and intended meaning

Assessment of a Large Subsurface Controlled Drainage and Irrigation System: I. Design, Soil Properties, and Water Management
Authors: Aide Michael , Braden Indi , Hermann Neil , Mauk David , Mueller Wesley , Svenson Sven , Weathers Julie 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Controlled subsurface drainage irrigation systems have been designed to promote agronomic performance and to limit overland transport of nutrients during high rainfall events. In this manuscript we describe the design of a 40 ha controlled subsurface drainage irrigation system, describe the soil resource and describe the soil water contents influenced by drainage and irrigation operations. With the use of the Subsurface controlled irrigation/drainage system, crop yields approach regional yield thresholds and soil water contents were maintained between field capacity and the maximum allowed soil water deficit, thus optimizing crop growth and development. In companion manuscripts we describe agronomic performance of corn (Zea mays L.), nutrient uptake patterns, and nutrient concentrations from tile drain effluents and note their potential impact on surface water resources.
A Comparative Study to Quantify Sensitive Dependence in Numerical Models for a Developing Low in the Southern Plains
Authors: Schnetzler Amy E. , Glisan Justin M. , Athar H. , Market Patrick S. , Lupo Anthony R. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Studies have shown that numerical models display the characteristics of chaotic systems, and that the solutions can be sensitive to the initial conditions, the model used, or the parameterizations used. Using the Kain-Fritsch, Grell, and modified Kuo convective parameterizations in the MASS and the WRF model, the results from a case study show that 48-h forecasts were not identical. Lyapunov exponents were calculated by plotting forecast trajectories in a phase diagram and estimating the rate of trajectory divergence for two time periods outside the study of the main cyclone. These calculations did show divergence at a rate which was consistent with differences in model height in 48-h forecasts from other studies. Additionally, the integrated enstrophy can be used to estimate the Lyapunov value. Finally, a qualitative analysis comparing various model runs (pseudo-ensemble) was performed to determine if there were regions or areas where consistent differences in the runs existed between the indexes used for forecasting convective precipitation. Results demonstrated that the region of the southeast United States associated with the developing cyclone showed the most significant differences in these indexes and for heights and temperatures. The differences in the model forecasts between convective parameterizations (intramodel forecasts) in this case were not as great as the model-to-model forecast differences (intermodel forecasts).

Conversion of agricultural land to non agricultural land can not be avoided, while the needs of rice continues to grow. To meet these needs , efforts to develop upland rice are needed. Upland rice can be grown on dry land, moor, or former forest land with minimal irrigation (rainfed). In general, farmers use the production factors uncontrolable, making it difficult to estimate the response of the use of production factors . Based on the research conducted in Cimarga Subdistrict Lebak District in 2010 plant season. This study aims to estimate the response of factors use on upland rice production. Thirty upland paddy farmers were selected using Simple Random Sampling dan Cobb – Douglas Model of upland paddy production was applied to analyse production factors response. The results showed: (a) a partial response acreage and volume of urea fertilizer on upland paddy farming is positive, while the number of labor and seed volume showed a negative effect (b) Simultaneously the four factors of production toward upland paddy production has a positive effect. Seed acreage and volume showed a positive response to the production of upland rice indicate that farmers still have a chance to increase acreage and seed use. On the contrary, the use of labor and fertilizer urea showed a negative response indicating that the use of these two production factors have already excessively, and farmers have to reduce the use of these production factors. Key words : production factors, farming, paddy of dry land
