Published: January 2024

Background: Zinc is an important trace element and a potent antioxidant. Its deficiency causes a common comorbidity with numerous chronic diseases including hypertension and diabetes mellitus, associated with development and progression of various complications.
Objective: The present study has been undertaken to evaluate the effects of zinc supplementation on blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients.
Methods: This prospective interventional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka between January 2016 to December 2016. In this study, a total number of 46 diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients of both sexes were selected with age ranging from 40 to 55 years. Among them, 26 type 2 diabetic patients with supplementation of oral zinc (40mg/day) for 12 weeks were considered as study group (Group B). Another 25 age matched type 2 diabetic patients without supplementation of oral zinc were considered as control group (Group A) for comparison. All subjects were selected from Outpatient Department of Endocrinology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Their blood pressure (BP) was measured and serum zinc level was estimated by Spectrophotometric method accordingly. These parameters were studied 2 times in all subjects of control and study groups i.e. at the beginning of study (base line) and after 12 weeks of study period. Data were collected in pre-designed structured questionnaire form by the researcher herself. For statistical analysis, paired Student’s ‘t’ test and unpaired Student’s ‘t’ test were performed as applicable using SPSS for windows version 22.0.
Results: In this study, after zinc supplementation resulted in a significant (p<0.001) decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in study group but there was no significant change observed in control group.
Conclusions: After analyzing the results of the study, it can be concluded that oral zinc supplementation can be useful for improving blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients.

Authors: Nowrose Jahan Lipi  , Muhammad Maniruzzaman  
Published: January 2024

The experiments were carried out at the Agronomy Experimental Field of Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Dumki, Patuakhali in order to evaluate the effect of sowing date and planting density on the yield and yield contributing characters of sunflower varieties. The experiment comprised of two varieties viz. BARI Sunflower2 and Hysun33 and six planting densities viz. 40cm×25cm, 40cm×35cm, 40cm×45cm, 50cm×25cm, 50cm×35cm, 50cm×45cm. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications, where the variety was assigned in the main plot and planting density was assigned as sub-plot treatment. Planting density had a significant influence on all the characteristics of morphological growth, yield, and yield contributing character except plant height at 75 DAS and 90 DAS. In case of Hysun33 variety, the highest number of leaves (21.89), leaf area (3214.22 cm2), head diameter (19.27 cm), head weight (539.07 gm), number of seed head-1 (973.33), seed weight head-1 (65.89 gm), thousand seed weight (67.73 gm), total seed yield (3.27 tha-1) and harvest index (34.30 %) was obtained from 50 cm × 45 cm planting density. On the other hand, in case of BARI Sunflower2 variety the highest number of leaves (18.44), leaf area (3342.90 cm2), head diameter (18.73 cm), head weight (457.80 gm), number of seed head-1 (832.17), seed weight head-1 (53.39 gm), thousand seed weight (64.07 gm) was obtained from 50 cm × 45 cm planting density and the highest stover yield (8.04 tha-1) and biological yield (10.73 tha-1) were obtained from 40 cm × 25 cm planting density. The highest total seed yield (2.94 tha-1) was obtained from 50 cm × 25 cm (8 plants m-2) planting density.

Published: January 2024

The demand for jute fiber is increasing instead of synthetic fiber nowadays. Developing an early and high fiber-yielding tossa jute line is the main breeding objective of jute growing areas including Bangladesh. To fulfill that objective, the existing cultivar JRO-524 was irradiated with five (700, 800, 900, and 1000 gy) doses of gamma-ray. A total of 25 M3 plants were first selected from bulked M2 plants. Two years of replicated yield trial experiments were conducted in different locations in Bangladesh. Among them, two mutants BJM-10-1-3 and BJM-10-1-5 were selected for higher fiber and stick yield. The selected mutants BJM-10-1-3 and BJM-10-1-5 showed 4% to 6% higher yield than their parent JRO-524. The mutant line BJM-10-1-5 showed higher fiber percentage (34.04%), fiber fitness (2.65%), and fiber brightness (44.15%). These two mutants have been under participatory varietal trial (PVT) for evaluation to release a tossa jute variety. These lines will play a vital role in reducing the seed import of variety JRO-524 from India.

Chepa, a widely consumed processed fish product in Bangladesh, is prepared through the semi-fermentation process using small fish varieties such as Phaisa and Puti. The study aimed to explore the business dynamics of Chepa production and marketing, focusing on identifying challenges and issues in the process. In the study, focus group discussion (FGD) and face-to-face interviewing were conducted using semi-structured questionnaires. Additionally, PESTLE framework was employed to assess the operational aspects of the Chepa business. The study identified seven key stakeholders in the different nods of the Chepa value chain, highlighting their role alongside supporting entities. The production process involved careful categorization of dried fish based on size and quality. Notable, women constituted predominant workforce in the midstream segment, especially contributing to fish processing. Unlike other food items, Chepa fermenting processes carried out in treated earthen pots without using any chemicals and pesticide, resulting in a distinctive flavor and color. The study underscores the profitability of Chepa industry, although fishermen earned the lowest profit among the shareholders. Furthermore, the declining populations of small fish in water body like haor, posing a threat to their livelihoods. The PESTLE analysis highlighted the importance of an integrated, and multidisciplinary approach to food safety and quality, stressing the importance of training and institutional development. The outcomes of our study offer valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders, guiding efforts toward establishing a sustainable and resilient Chepa industry.

Oviposition of Helopeltis antonii (Hemiptera: Miridae) on Psidium guajava fruits
Authors: Swathi C. , Visalakshy P. N. Ganga 
Published: January 2024

Detailed studies on the oviposition behaviour of H. antonii on different types of guava Psidium guajava fruit from April to December that corresponds from fruiting to harvesting period was carried out in 2015. A shift in the egg laying pattern in relation to availability of fruits of different types were recorded during the season. Maximum number of eggs /fruit was recorded on unmatured scabby cracked fruits in the initial season of fruiting which shifted to ripe scabby fruits with the advancement of season. However data analysis on the egg laying for the entire season recorded significantly more number of eggs /fruit on un matured scabby cracked fruits. Co- relation between the availability of fruit type and number of eggs resulted in a positive linear curve with R2 value = 0.97 indicating that unmatured scabby and cracked fruits contain more eggs than other types of fruits screened.

مصطلح الصفة في "معاني القرآن" للفرَّاء
Authors: عنيزات أحمد , العرود د. زهير محمد العرود 
Published: January 2024

المصطلحات هي مفاتيح العلوم. ولأنها كذلك، كان الواجب أن تحظى بالضبط والثبات وعدم الاختلاف. وقد أظهر التتبع والاستقراء أن أكثر مصطلحات الفراء في كتابه معاني القرآن غير مستقرة؛ فهو يستخدم المصطلح الواحد لمفاهيم عديدة، وهذا ما يمكن أن يطلق عليه المشترك المصطلحي، ويُطلِق على المفهوم الواحد مصطلحاتٍ عديدة، وذلك ما يمكن أن يطلق عليه الترادف المصطلحي. ومن بين تلك المصـطلحات الملبسة "مصـطلح الصفة"، فقد تبين أن في مفهومه اضطرابا وخلطا وعدم ثبات واستقرار، يوقع القارئ في اللبس والغموض، ويكون عقبة كأداء يصعب بسببه الوصول إلى المعنى المراد.
لهذا، جاء هذا البحث المعنون بـ "مصطلح الصفة في معاني القرآن للفرَّاء" -مستعيناً بالمنهج الاستقرائي الوصفي- إسهاماً في الكشف عن مفهومات هذا المصطلح المُلبِس في هذا الكتاب الجليل القدر، وفي الكشف عمّا يطلق على تلك المفهومات من مصطلحات أخرى، وذلك بهدف تيسير مهمة الناظر في الكتاب، لئلا يقع في الخلط وعدم الفهم.
وقد خلص البحث إلى أن الفراء أطلق مصطلح الصفة للدلالة على مفهومات متعددة، هي: حرف الجر، والنعت، والظرف. وأنه أطلق على مفهومات هذه المصطلحات مصطلحاتٍ أخرى؛ فقد أطلق على مفهوم حرف الجر كُلًّا من مصطلح: الصفة، وحرف الجر، والخافض، والمحل، والظرف، وحرف الإضافة. وأطلق على مفهوم النعت مصطلحين: النعت والصفة. وأطلق على مفهوم الظرف ثلاثة مصطلحات: الصفة والظرف والمحل.
دفاعاً عن بلاغة الدولة العباسية قراءة ثقافية في مقدّمة (أدب الكاتب) لابن قتيبة
Authors: عبد الخالق غسان 
Published: January 2024

اعتنت الدولة العباسية -منذ نشوئها- بالنثر عموماً وبالنثر الديواني الرسمي خصوصاً؛ انطلاقاً من قناعتها بأن بلاغتها ركن رئيس من أركان سيادتها السياسية. لكن هذه العناية التي تواصلت حتى نهاية عهد المأمون، راحت تتراخى وتتقهقر بدءًا من عهد المعتصم، لأسباب تتعلق بتكوينه الثقافي واستكثاره من المماليك الترك، مروراً بعهد المتوكل الذي استشعر قدراً من تأزّم البلاغة السياسية للدولة العباسية؛ فلم يدّخر وسعًا لإحداث تغيير ملموس. لكن هذا التغيير لم يكن كافياً بسبب سيطرة الأتراك على مفاصل الدولة، واستفحال الشعوبية والزندقة في أوساط الكتّاب؛ فجاء كتاب (أدب الكاتب) لابن قتيبة، ليمثل -بمقدّمته- إدانة حازمة لمظاهر هذه الأزمة البلاغية، وليجسّد - بفصوله الأربعة - دليلاً وافياً ومرشداً أمينا للراغبين من الكتّاب، في استدراك ما يجب استدراكه من معارف و مهارات. وقد سعى هذا البحث لتسليط الضوء على ملامح التشخيص الجريء الذي اضطلع به ابن قتيبة، من منظور النقد الثقافي.

يناقش هذا البحث المعنون بـ" تعدد الأجناس الأدبية ودوافعها الفنية والحضارية كتاب "ذكريات باريس" أنموذجا" ظاهرة تعدد الأجناس الأدبية في الكتاب، ودوافعها الفنية والحضارية، ومدى وعي الكاتب بها، ويهدف إلى تفسير تلك الظاهرة ومقارنتها بالواقع الفني والحضاري الذي أحاط بالمؤلف، كما يسعى البحث إلى معرفة دور النهضة الأدبية في مصر والعالم العربي في احتضان تلك الظاهرة، ومساهمة الحضارة الغربية في تطويرها، مستعينا بالمنهج الوصفي التحليلي من أجل بحث تلك الظاهرة الفنية وتفسيرها.
وقد تبين للباحث أن ظاهرة تعدد الأجناس من الظواهر العالمية التي تمهد بظهور أجناس جديدة، وتهدد أخرى بالزوال، وأن الحضارة الغربية التي احتك بها أثناء إقامته في باريس كان لها أثر في تداخل الأجناس الأدبية لديه، وفي مواصلة التجديد، والانطلاق بأساليب غير تقليدية، كما أنه ظل محافظا على روح الأساليب العربية وأصالتها، لاسيما أن أطروحته في الدكتوراه "النثر العربي في القرن الرابع الهجري" تشده إلى ذلك التراث وتبصره به.
كما تبين للباحث أن جنس الكتاب بداية "أدب رحلة" لكنه استعان بعد ذلك بنصوص من أجناس مختلفة، كالشعر والمقال والسيرة الذاتية بأنواعها المختلفة والرسائل، ومزج الأديب فيما بينها في مواضع عدة، وأنه قد وظف ذلك التنوع الأجناسي في خدمة أفكاره، كما أن الكاتب من خلال ذلك الكتاب وغيره استطاع أن يسهم في نشأه أجناس أدبية جديدة.

Published: January 2024

Many farmers in Nigeria have not been able to finance their businesses due to poor savings, and for any meaningful investment to be obtained, a sound saving mobilization has to be pursued. Thus, this study analyzed the determinants of saving and investment strategies among poultry farmers in Kwara state Nigeria. Using the list of 350 registered poultry farmers in the state, 175 farmers were randomly selected for the study. The analytical tools employed are descriptive statistics, multiple linear and binary logistics regressions. The pattern of savings showed that more than 99% of the respondents make savings with commercial banks. The result further indicated that the average value of investment of the respondents stood at ₦718,312.7 per cycle. The pattern of investment indicated that poultry business took the highest percentage of 45.28. The mul5tiple regression analysis revealed that the coefficient of education, poultry size, number of mortalities, savings and amount of loan obtained were statistically significant factors influencing investment in poultry farming. On the other hand, poultry farming experience, farm income, amount of nvestment and loan obtained are the major determinants of savings. The major constraints hindering savings among poultry farmers are distance to savings institution, lack of confidence in banking sector and poor savings habit. On the other hand, outbreak of pest and disease, poor market structure, insufficient capital are the major bottlenecks hindering investments in the area. The study recognized the need for mass education and enlightenment campaign for mobilizing savings and intimating the farmers on investment opportunities. Policies and straegies aimed at providing timely formal and informal loans to poultry farmers should be vigorously pursued.
