The field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, (V. C. Farm), Mandya, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India during kharif, 2019 and 2020. Soil from experimental site was under sandy loam in texture with 70.50, 15.80 and 13.70% sand, silt and clay, respectively. Soil was alkaline in reaction with pH of 9.02 and low in electrical conductivity (0.37 dS m-1). The fertility status of the soil at experimental site was low in organic carbon (0.39%), available nitrogen (182.12 kg N ha-1) and available potassium (122.32 kg K2O ha-1), however it was high in available phosphorus (78.74kg P2O5ha-1). Results indicated that maximum leaf area, SPAD meter reading and tiller production at different days observed in narrow spacing (20 cm row spacing) compared to wider row spacing (30 cm row spacing). Among the different varieties tested, significantly higher leaf area, SPAD meter reading and tiller production was recorded in KMP- 175 and Rasi compared to other varieties.
Küeldshut – The Heroic Tales of the Selkups: Narrative Features and Central Plot Points
Authors: Тучкова Наталья Анатольевна 
Published: December 2023

Статья посвящена анализу сюжетов 11 фольклорных текстов селькупов, четыре из которых с полным правом можно обозначить как героические сказания, записанные на Средней Оби в середине XIX в. (в 1845 г.) лингвистом М. А. Кастреном; еще один текст XIX в. записан в 1870-х гг. Н. П. Григоровским. В ходе проведенного исследования была выявлена основная сюжетная схема, в которой как базовые мотивы присутствуют сватовство или умыкание богатырем невесты, погоня ее братьев и предыдущих женихов за героем, а также битвы богатырей между собой. Остальные шесть анализируемых текстов были зафиксированы в ХХ в., они также имеют похожее развитие сюжетного действия; но их запись лаконична, сюжет оформлен как краткий пересказ. В ходе исследования была установлена разница в мотивах между текстами и выявлено несколько сюжетных вариантов, в форме которых существует данный сюжет, – «мужской» вариант, где главным героем является мужчина-богатырь, и «женский» вариант, когда сюжет строится вокруг невесты, которую сватает или умыкает богатырь (но тогда именно женщина является главной героиней, так как повествование концентрируется вокруг нее, и оно исходит от ее лица). Также выявлена существенная внутритекстовая разница в использовании режимов повествования.
This article is devoted to the analysis of eleven folklore Selkup texts, four of which can actually be called heroic tales. They were recorded in the middle of the XIX century (1845) by the linguist M. A. Castren in the Middle Ob; another text from the XIX century was recorded in the 1870s by N. P. Grigorovsky. In the course of the study, the main plot scheme was revealed, in which the main motifs are courtship or bride kidnapping by a hero, the hunt for the hero by her brothers and former grooms, and fights between the heroes. The other six texts analyzed are from the twentieth century and also show a similar plot development, but their recording is more concise, and the plot is laid out as a “short retelling”. In the course of the study, the difference in motifs between the texts was noted, and several plot variations were identified in which form this plot exists – a ‘male’ version where the main character is a male hero and a ‘female’ version where the plot revolves around a bride who is courted or abducted by a hero (but then the woman is the main character as the narrative focuses on her and begins from her perspective). There is also a significant difference in the use of narrative within the text.
Smáatriðin skipta sköpum: Áhrif birtustigs og litastyrks á skynjun og hegðun neytenda

Einkennisliti vörumerkja er hægt að nýta til að skapa tiltekin hugrenningartengsl hjá neytendum og kalla fram tiltekna hegðun. Flestar rannsóknir á litum hafa snúið að áhrifum ólíkra lita, en minna hefur farið fyrir rannsóknum á ólíkum útfærslum af sama grunnlit. Rannsókninni var ætlað að draga úr skorti á slíkum rannsóknum. Í ljósi þess að fyrri rannsóknir hafa sýnt nokkuð samræmdar niðurstöður þess efnis að blár dragi fram skynjun um trúverðugleika voru áhrif ólíkra útfærslna af bláum lit könnuð. Markmiðið var annars vegar að mæla hvort birtustig og litastyrkur hafi áhrif á skynjun neytenda á trúverðugleika fyrirtækis sem nýtir bláan sem einkennislit og hins vegar hvort birtustig og litastyrkur hafi áhrif á áform neytenda um að stunda viðskipti við fyrirtækið.
Notast var við tilraunasnið með millihópasniði þar sem þátttakendur (n=528) fengu, með handahófskenndum hætti, eitt af fimm áreitum. Áreitin voru mynd frá skrifstofu fyrirtækis, þar sem blár veggur með myndmerki var áberandi. Það sem aðgreindi áreitin var litaafbrigði bláa litarins á veggnum sem fólst í mismunandi samspili birtustigs og litastyrks. Í kjölfar áreitisins birtust þátttakendum spurningar sem snéru annars vegar að trúverðugleika fyrirtækisins, þar sem þrjár víddir trúverðugleika voru mældar með samtals fimmtán atriðum og hins vegar spurningu sem snéri að áformum um viðskipti.
Niðurstöðurnar sýndu að trúverðugleiki var skynjaður meiri þegar birtustig var lágt heldur en þegar það var hátt og átti það við bæði þegar litastyrkur var hár og þegar hann var lágur. Sú útfærsla af bláum sem reyndist líklegust til að ýta undir viðskipti var með lágu birtustigi og lágum litastyrk. Út frá niðurstöðunum má því draga þá ályktun að ekki sé nóg að huga að þeim grunnlit sem á að nota sem einkennislit vörumerkis, heldur þurfi að huga að því að rétt útfærsla af litnum, með tilliti til birtustigs og litastyrks, verði fyrir valinu. Slíkt er bæði líklegt til að styðja við þá ímynd sem ætlunin er að ná fram en jafnframt getur það haft bein fjárhagsleg áhrif á fyrirtæki þar sem rétt val á útfærslu getur aukið líkur á viðskiptum.
Dimensiones del yo en la poesía y los diarios de Alejandra Pizarnik
Authors: Battistoni Nieves 
Published: December 2023

En el presente trabajo me interesa observar cómo ciertos ideogramas que configuran la obra de Alejandra Pizarnik (la viajera, la muerta, la olvidada, la niña, la insomne) y que, vueltos lugares comunes, contribuyeron a mitificar su figura autoral como poeta maldita, asociados a una dimensión espacio-temporal permitirían “mensurar” la forma y el tamaño del yo lírico y diarístico. En efecto, en su poesía y en sus diarios, el yo se autofigura pequeño, miniaturizado y, paradójicamente, resulta magnánimo, acaso porque el espacio exterior —a excepción del bosque y el jardín— es prácticamente nulo: como si algunas de las características que podemos suponer del paisaje (variedad, multiplicidad, extensión) hubieran sido fagocitadas por el yo que se despliega desorbitado y abismal, renuente a admitir un afuera. Esta hiper concentración egoica miniaturizada, además de dar a la obra total cierto tono asfixiante, habilita a conjeturar acerca del estricto régimen de pureza de su poesía y de la imposibilidad de escribir una novela, consignada, sin descanso, en sus diarios.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The present study reports an easy eco-friendly, cost efficient, and rapid method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using palm sprouts as reducing cum capping agent. Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles was successfully performed using palm sprouts plant extract via a simple and cheaper eco-friendly method. Palm sprouts extract reduces silver nitrate to silver nanoparticles. The resulting materials were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. FT-IR spectrum confirms the presence of various functional groups in the active biomolecules, it acts as a capping agent for the nanoparticles. The morphology of this sample was analyzed through SEM and the presence of silver was confirmed accordingly. The green synthesized Ag NPs exhibited an excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli and P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis and S. aureus besides imparting efficient antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria as well.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The expert research activity of transition zones of tunnels is one part of the overall set of these places on the railway line. Typical places where the stiffness of the railway changes are the portals of tunnels, where undesirable deformations occur during the operation of trainsets due to the changes in materials. In the places of the portals, there can be a ballastless track or slab track (with concrete bearing layer) or classic structure with a railway ballast. The paper presents long-term research on monitoring height changes in these sections. The results of the expert activity will be the basis for the subsequent proposal of new measures, i.e. changes to built-in objects or modification of the materials of structural layers in a given place of the transition zone.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Bacterial self-healing concrete is an eco-friendly and superior treatment technique that has efficient bonding capacity and compatibility with concrete compositions. It is capable of filling deep microcracks and healing the crack autonomously by calcium carbonate precipitating phenomenon which results in sustainable construction materials. The purpose of this research is to investigate the use of microorganisms Bacillus Subtilis to improve the mechanical properties and the efficiency of self-healing of reinforced concrete beams for two types of concrete, reactive powder concrete (RPC), and lightweight self-compacting concrete (LWASCC), by two methods of addition (direct addition, and encapsulation). The experimental program consists of casting six simply supported beams tested under monotonic and repeated loading. Incorporate bacteria and the precursor (calcium lactate) in concrete mixtures show an improvement in compressive strength, splitting, and flexural strength by up to 21.74 %, 10.92 %, 21.21 % by encapsulation method, and 17.7 %, 18.0 %, 20.84 % by direct addition. In addition, there is an enhancement in the first crack load and ultimate load. Microscopical image demonstrated that calcium carbonates had been deposited in the crack up to 1.0 mm width by bacterial activity within 32 days.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Today, sustainable real estate management is an essential and timely issue. Real estate is one of an enterprise’s most valuable assets, and its appropriate management is a prerequisite for attaining a competitive edge. Modern real estate management should incorporate aspects that reflect market demands, environmental issues, the user wants, and the business environment sustainably. This study studies and analyses the elements influencing sustainable real estate management practises in India. This study acquired primary data from both residents/users of real estate and market actors. The research employs a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including case studies of the real estate management market and literature reviews on sustainable real estate management, as well as structured observation and surveys with closed-ended questions. The data indicate that the environmental element, which is the least developed among Indian real estate management firms, has the greatest influence on the overall sustainability of real estate management organisations. This should be the focus of the proposals, allowing real estate management businesses to highlight their environmental sustainability practises as the foundation for adopting of the idea of sustainable real estate management in India.
Investigation of the Most Positions Affected in Rail Track When the Modulus of Elasticity of the Ballast Layer is Changed

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The railway is one of the cheapest methods to transport people and heavy goods. It is safer than highways. In Iraq, many railways connect the south country with the middle and north, which are old, damaged, and need to continued maintenance. Iraq needs to construct new lines of the rail track with low-cost, less maintenance, and highly stable structure, which requires understanding the behavior of rail track under train loads and the pattern of distribution of deformations, stresses, and strains inside the body of rail track and know the layer which more effected by changing the strength of ballast layer by change modulus of elasticity of it. This paper investigates the influence of modulus of elasticity of the ballast layer on the behavior of railways and the positions of deformation, stresses, and strains in the rail track which is most affected by the change in the modulus of elasticity and the value of the effect. The finite element approach was considered in this study using Abaqus Ver. 6.14-4 program. The investigation outcomes displayed that when the ballast layer’s modulus of elasticity E increase by 100 MPa, the value of deformation in the rail track is affected in all layers, and the value of decreased is 6.8 % for rail, 6.9 % for ballast, and 6.7 % for the sub-ballast layer. Therefore the strain of the sub-ballast layer is affected by the change modulus of elasticity of the ballast layer more than other ballast and subgrade. Also, the result shows that stresses in the rail are the only part of the rail track affected by the change in the ballast layer’s modulus of elasticity E, while the other layers are unaffected. So the increase in E of the ballast layer affects the layer beneath it, which is the sub-ballast layer.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
This research aims to look into a sustainable technique for the treatment, reuse and disposal of domestic sewage sludge (DSS). The purpose of the study was to examine the operating factors that influence the calorific value of the produced biochar from the pyrolysis of DSS. Based on the analysis of the full factorial design, the impacts of the pyrolysis conditions, specifically: temperature, heating rate, and isothermal time on the calorific value of biochar were evaluated. When the pyrolysis temperature was raised from 300 to 500 oC, the calorific value of biochar was decreased by 34%. A 14% decrease in the calorific content of the biochar was also noticed when the heating rate was increased from 5 to 35 oC/min. When the isothermal time was increased from 45 to 120 minutes, the calorific value of the biochar remained essentially unchanged. No interaction effects among process variables were found using the factorial design methodology. A first-order regression model was developed to predict the calorific value of biochar using the magnitude of the effects of the process factors and their interactions. The model predictions agreed very well with the obtained experimental results.
Used Isolation System to Reduce the Response of Offshore Structure Considering Soil Structure Interaction
Authors: Hasan Abdulameer Qasim , Younus Yahya Mohammad 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Fixed offshore platforms are structures of steel or concrete located in the middle of the sea used to export oil, trade, or military. These are designed to withstand all types of weather and dynamic loads. The response was very high under applied these loads. This paper includes a proposal to apply a new isolation system to be placed in different places on the offshore platform to reduce vibrations from high water waves. Three cases that be used, fixed-based (column connect directly to the pile), isolation system in the pile head (isolation between column and pile), and isolation system in the pile head and the middle of columns. The dynamic movements in waves were simulated using ABAQUS programs. More accurate elements and real material properties were used to bring the results closer to reality. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method was used to study the effect of water-structure interaction and soil-structure interaction. The results show that the use of the isolation system at the base of the offshore platform has a very significant effect on decreasing the response of the platform to the loads placed on it. Where the isolation system works as a hinge at the pile head and is not allowed to move and rotate for the pile, also the moments are zero. As for the shear force, it is the least that can be compared with the other cases.

Abstract
Computer-based methods help beekeepers and scientists in apidology and bee research. Using software Optika Vision Pro in this study, three body morphological characteristics has been applied to honeybees’ drones (Apis mellifera carnica) of different origin in identification of difference among them. All three measured body morphological characteristics (body length, forewing length, and head length) were statistically different between drones originated from colonies with mated queens and drones originated from colonies with unfertilised queen and/or with unfertilised worker bee(s), respectively, thus making them potentially more successful in queen fertilization and secondary colony development and productivity.
Ethnic Segregation and Immigrants’ Labor Market Outcomes: The Role of Education
Authors: Lou Tian , Song Tao 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Given the conflicting findings about whether ethnic segregation benefits or hurts immigrants’ labor market outcomes in the existing literature, this paper investigates how segregation effects vary within young immigrants’ education levels. We also test the differential segregation effects for young immigrants with different education levels and from ethnic groups with different average education levels. We find that on average, ethnic segregation negatively impacts earnings of highly educated immigrants but benefits lower educated immigrants. Additionally, the net effects of ethnic segregation depend on whether immigrants’ own education levels match their group average education levels. Specifically, being segregated with many highly educated co-ethnics can reverse the negative segregation effects on highly educated immigrants’ earnings. However, a highly educated ethnic enclave can reduce the positive isolation effects for lower educated immigrants. Finally, we do not find significant segregation effects on immigrants’ employment.
Understanding the Consumer Dynamics of AI in North Macedonian E-Business
Authors: Josimovski Saso , Ivanovska Lidija Pulevska , Dodevski Darko 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Research Purpose
This study investigates the dynamics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in e-business, particularly from the perspective of consumers in North Macedonia. The research aims to identify and evaluate the benefits and challenges of AI integration in e-business, explore the ethical concerns related to AI decision-making, and understand the impact of AI on consumer behaviour and preferences.

Design/Methodology/Approach
The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative and quantitative analyses. Primary data was collected via a structured questionnaire distributed among various demographic groups to gauge the level of awareness and experiences with AI in e-business. A range of statistical tests, including ANOVA and correlation tests, were employed to assess the significance of the data collected and to test a set of hypotheses concerning consumer perceptions and experiences of AI.

Findings
The results reveal that demographic factors such as age, status, education, and occupation do not significantly impact the level of understanding, awareness, or experiences with AI among Macedonian consumers. Participants exhibited a level of high awareness of the importance of AI in e-business and rated their shopping experiences with AI more positively than traditional methods. Trust and reliability in AI did not significantly differ across demographic lines. The findings of this study have significant policy implications, especially in guiding the ethical and responsible integration of AI in e-business. They suggest a need for policies emphasising consumer data protection and privacy, given the heightened awareness and concern among consumers regarding using their personal information. Furthermore, the results advocate for the development of regulatory frameworks that ensure transparency and fairness in AI algorithms, addressing potential biases that could negatively impact consumer trust.

Originality/Value/Practical Implications
This research contributes novel insights into the Macedonian consumer market’s perception of AI in e-business, a topic scarcely covered in existing literature. The findings underscore the necessity for businesses to adopt AI responsibly and ethically, highlighting the importance of prioritising fairness, privacy, and transparency to leverage AI’s full potential in e-business. This study stands out in its exploration of AI in e-business from the consumer perspective in North Macedonia, a context not extensively covered in existing literature. The originality of our research lies in its focus on a comprehensive range of consumer-centric factors, including awareness, experiences, ethical concerns, and behaviour related to AI in e-business.
Impact of gut microbiota and associated mechanisms on postprandial glucose levels in patients with diabetes
Authors: Feng Xinyuan , Deng Mingqun , Zhang Lina , Pan Qi 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Diabetes and its complications are serious medical and global burdens, often manifesting as postprandial hyperglycemia. In recent years, considerable research attention has focused on relationships between the gut microbiota and circulating postprandial glucose (PPG). Different population studies have suggested that PPG is closely related to the gut microbiota which may impact PPG via short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids (BAs) and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). Studies now show that gut microbiota models can predict PPG, with individualized nutrition intervention strategies used to regulate gut microbiota and improve glucose metabolism to facilitate the precision treatment of diabetes. However, few studies have been conducted in patients with diabetes. Therefore, little is known about the relationships between the gut microbiota and PPG in this cohort. Thus, more research is required to identify key gut microbiota and associated metabolites and pathways impacting PPG to provide potential therapeutic targets for PPG.
