AbstractPlant microbiomes are the microbial communities essential to the functioning of the phytobiome—the system that consist of plants, their environment, and their associated communities of organisms. A healthy, functional phytobiome is critical to crop health, improved yields and quality food. However, crop microbiomes are relatively under-researched, and this is associated with a fundamental need to underpin phytobiome research through the provision of a supporting infrastructure. The UK Crop Microbiome Cryobank (UKCMC) project is developing a unique, integrated and open-access resource to enable the development of solutions to improve soil and crop health. Six economically important crops (Barley, Fava Bean, Oats, Oil Seed Rape, Sugar Beet and Wheat) are targeted, and the methods as well as data outputs will underpin research activity both in the UK and internationally. This manuscript describes the approaches being taken, from characterisation, cryopreservation and analysis of the crop microbiome through to potential applications. We believe that the model research framework proposed is transferable to different crop and soil systems, acting not only as a mechanism to conserve biodiversity, but as a potential facilitator of sustainable agriculture systems.

Published: November 2023

The Ipomoea reniformis is found predominantly all over India and is used traditionally for several diseases including for the cure of cancer. This study aimed to isolate and characterize phytoconstituents from bioactive extract, evaluate antioxidant and cytotoxic properties of chloroform (CH), ethyl acetate (EA), ethanol (ET), hydroalcoholic (HA) (50%v/v) extracts and isolated compound. Antioxidant property was evaluated by using 1,1-Dipheny l, 2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay and cytotoxic potential was evaluated by using MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) Assay. All the extracts (CH, EA, ET, HA) of Ipomoea reniformis exhibited significant antioxidant potential but the highest antioxidant activity (94.84 ± 1.56 % at 1000 µg/ml) was shown by ET extract with IC50 value of 52.24 µg/ml and SM (scopoletin) isolated from ET extract showed more potent antioxidant activity IC50 value of 52.24± 0.9367 µg/ml, and the highest antioxidant activity (96.29± 0.86 %) at 1000 µg/ml compared to ET extract. The percent cell viability of MCF-7, A-549, and HCT-116 human cell lines was evaluated by treatment with CH, EA, ET, HA extracts and SM. The percent cell viability was found to be, ET (4.4117 ± 6.2711%, 0.0605 ± 0.7748%, 9.8290 ± 2.1149%) and SM (4.23± 1.38%, 0.059 ± 0.32 %, 8.92 ± 0.87%) for MCF-7, A-549, HCT-116 respectively. Therefore, from the present study it was concluded that isolated SM has more potent antioxidant and cytotoxic potential than ET extract of Ipomoea reniformis.

Published: November 2023

An effort was made at Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Rekulakunta to study the physiological attitudes of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) against different water regimes such as 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%. Six cluster bean genotypes were grown in pots in a complete random block design (CRBD) and were regularly irrigated. Plants were subjected to drought treatment at 39 days after sowing (DAS) for 8 days. On the 46th day of sowing photosynthetic rate (PN), stomatal conductance (gS), transpiration (E), internal CO2 (Ci) were measured. Intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi), relative water content (RWC), SPAD chlorophyll meter reading (SCMR) and specific leaf area (SLA) were determined using standard protocols. The maximum PN, gS, E, and Ci were recorded at 60% water level coupled with RWC, SCMR, and SLA. With the increased drought, genotypes showed reduced PN, gS, E, and Ci except in varieties RGC-1025 and RGC-936. WUEi showed a negative correlation with PN, gS, E, and Ci indicating the genotypical efficiency in copping water stress.

Molecular Diversity Analysis of Traditional Rice Varieties (TRVs) in Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines
Authors: Lunag Agustin B. 
Published: November 2023

Traditional rice varieties (TRVs) are valued genetic resources because they contain important economic value traits needed to integrate and broaden rice's genetic pool and variability. In this study, twenty-seven TRVs including a check variety (Mindanao – RS25) collected from different locations in Nueva Vizcaya, were subjected to DNA analysis to explore the genetic diversity of the collection and to determine possible aromatic TRVs in the presence of the fgr-gene. TRVs demonstrate high genetic diversity based on the relatively low similarity coefficient of 0.12 using 15 robust short tandem repeat (STR) markers. The molecular diversity analysis divided TRVs into two major clusters/groups with eight sub-clusters. Cluster I comprised 15 TRVs along with the check variety, mostly grown in high altitudes/elevation (>500masl) or cooler climatic conditions, the japonica types. Furthermore, in Cluster II, 12 TRVs were commonly cultivated at lower elevations (100-500 masl) or warmer climatic conditions (indica sub-species). Moreover, the presence of the fgr-gene allele was observed in TRVs assessed at both production sites. Finally, the province of Nueva Vizcaya had a preliminary characterization and initial conservation of its TRVs, in which these diverse germplasms could offer a valuable gene pool and rare traits for future varietal improvement programs in rice.

Authors: Wang Jei-Pil , Bayarmaa Tserendejid 
Published: November 2023

This study investigated the liquid-phase adsorption reactions of heavy metal ions (Pb, Cd, Cr6+, Hg) in wastewater using post-use Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 crystalline glass derived from induction top plate materials in which Li had been removed through a sulfuric acid heat reaction. Two types of zeolites, before and after Ca2+ modification, were used for heavy metal adsorption. The amount of zeolite used as an adsorbent, adsorption time, concentration of heavy metal elements, and pH were examined for their effects on adsorption capacity. Ca-zeolite showed an average adsorption removal rate improvement of 54.5% for Cr6+ and 79.5% for Hg compared to the original lithium-removed zeolite. As the amount of zeolite added increased, the heavy metal adsorption removal rate also increased. Adsorption reaction time significantly influenced adsorption characteristics, with a notable improvement in the removal rate of Cd. Additionally, the adsorption removal rate of Cd increased with increasing pH, while that of Pb and Cr6+ decreased. The adsorption characteristics of Hg were not significantly affected by pH.

Published: November 2023

Artykuł dotyczy wydarzeń w Kirgistanie, które miały miejsce w 1990 i 2010 roku. Doszło wtedy do starć między Kirgizami i Uzbekami, w wyniku których zginęły tysiące osób. Analizując przekazy medialne poświęcone tym wydarzeniom, odnosząc się także do dyskursu akademickiego, poszukujemy sposobów tłumaczenia oraz narracji dotyczących przyczyn i atrybucji odpowiedzialności dotyczących wspomnianych konfliktów. Zestawiając ze sobą relacje medialne o różnym charakterze, próbujemy ustalić, czy można mówić o uzgodnionych i prawomocnych sposobach opisu konfliktów etnicznych w Kirgistanie, które miałyby w dyskursie publicznym dominującą pozycję.
Tęsknota za głębszym życiem w świecie dobrobytu. Syndrom „człowieka zbędnego”
Authors: Kutyło Łukasz 
Published: November 2023

Punktem wyjścia dla rozważań podjętych w artykule stał się wewnętrzny stan, który sygnalizowali duchowi nomadzi, przejawiający się w braku sensu, dolegliwościach psychofizycznych oraz poczuciu bezsilności, apatii. Przyjmował on postać kryzysu duchowego, trwającego zazwyczaj od dłuższego czasu i przejawiającego się z różną intensywnością. Założyłem, że ten stan – nazwany przeze mnie syndromem „człowieka zbędnego” – jest zjawiskiem powszechniejszym i bardziej złożonym zarazem, a zasadniczą rolę w jego powstawaniu odgrywają procesy zachodzące w społeczeństwie. Próbując przybliżyć swoje stanowisko, odwołałem się do przypadku 42-letniej Klaudii. Jej historia pokazuje, że możliwą przyczyną syndromu jest niemożność ustosunkowania się do „świata”, w którym nacisk kładzie się na posiadanie. Osoby pragnące głębszego życia, chcące bardziej być niż mieć, czują się w nim zbędne.
Szkoła behawioralna – od humanizmu do transhumanizmu
Authors: Rzoska Agata 
Published: November 2023

Dynamicznie zmieniające się oblicze współczesnego świata wynika z zachodzących, szeroko zakrojonych procesów globalizacji i cyfryzacji, bowiem wszechobecne usieciowienie i digitalizacja procesów wkracza praktycznie w każdą sferę życia. Celowe wydaje się zatem wprowadzanie nowych metod zarządzania strategicznego, co w przypadku szkoły behawioralnej może oznaczać konieczność uwzględnienia w strategii zjawiska wirtualizacji, czy transhumanizacji. Ważne wydaje się też umiejętne wykorzystywanie innowacji zarówno przełomowych, jak i niewielkich dla podniesienia konkurencyjności przedsiębiorstwa. Podstawowe założenia filozofii szkoły behawioralnej obejmują aspekty społeczne, czy potrzeby pracowników, co w dobie 4. Rewolucji Przemysłowej wymaga przedefiniowania i przewartościowania. Autorka podjęła próbę określenia nowych założeń szkoły behawioralnej funkcjonującej w dobie transhumanizacji na pograniczu dwóch światów rzeczywistego i wirtualnego. Autorka postawiła pytanie: Na czym ma polegać zmiana zarządzania strategicznego szkoły behawioralnej w warunkach nakreślanych nie tylko wymiarem globalizacji i wirtualizacji, ale także wymiarem transhumanizacji?
Liberalizm a urbanistyka
Authors: Gąsiorowski Arkadiusz 
Published: November 2023

Locke w swoich rozważaniach nad prawami naturalnymi, szczególnie nad jednym konstytuującym pozostałe – prawem własności – za punkt wyjścia przyjmował ziemię. Według Locke’a w pierwotnym stanie natury każdy mógł posiąść tyle ziemi, ile był w stanie uczynić sobie poddaną pracą własnych rąk. Dzięki uczynieniu z ziemi użytku, jednostka stawała się właścicielem danej ziemi, nabywając do niej niezbyte, naturalne prawo własności. Urbanistyka, jako kreowanie struktury budynków, nie może obejść się bez gruntu. Kwestia doktryn, stanowiących o prawach własności tychże gruntów, wydaje się więc immamentnie związana z problemami, z jakimi borykają się dzisiejsze miasta. Droga, jaką polska urbanistyka przebyła od 1989 roku, to droga od działającego systemu, który był w stanie zapewnić użytkownikom w krótkim czasie dużą ilość mieszkań, a także adekwatną do nich ilość usług, miejsc pracy, a wszystko połączone sprawną komunikacją publiczną, do systemu, w którym urbanista, miasto oraz jego władze skrępowane są w działaniu indywidualistycznymi, często sprzecznymi z interesem społecznym interesami właścicieli gruntów. Chociaż oczywistym jest, że poprzedni system w zakresie planowania przestrzennego radził sobie o wiele lepiej ze spełnianiem podstawowych potrzeb społecznych jak mieszkanie, edukacja czy transport publiczny to nie jest zadaniem tego tekstu pochwała podejmowanych przed 1989 rokiem, często totalitarnych działań. Założeniem tego tekstu jest wykazanie wpływu, jaki na wygląd i funkcjonowanie polskich miast wywiera obecne w społeczeństwie, a także żywe w dyskusji publicznej przywiązanie do głoszonych przez liberalizm idei.
