Field experiment was conducted for three (3) years during the rainy seasons of 2018, 2019 and 2020 to study the flag leaf area and yield character relationship as influenced by Striga infestation of sorghum in Bauchi state. The research was conducted at Teaching and Research Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi (10° 22' N and 9°47′ E) in the northern Guinea savanna ecological zone of Nigeria. The treatments consisted of four (4) transplanted age; (2, 3, 4 and 5 weeks after emergence with a control as direct seeded on the field) and five (5) nitrogen levels; (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 kg N/ha). The treatments were factorially combined and laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. In all the three seasons, sorghum seedlings were first raised in the nursery before being transplanted out to the field. Characters measured were flag leaf area, panicle length, panicle weight, number of spikes per panicle, number of seeds per panicle, spike length, spike weight, number of spikelets per spike, number of seeds per spike, seed weight and seed yield per hectare. Simple correlation between flag leaf area and yield characters of sorghum was carried out to determine the relationship. The results indicated a significant and positive correlations exist between the characters measured throughout the study period. This implies as flag leaf area increase, all yield characters increase with a resultant increase in yield. Based on the result this finding, it can be concluded that net increase in flag leaf area resulted to increase in yield of Striga infested sorghum in the study area.

Laboratory evaluation of phytochemical compounds and insecticidal/repellent effect of Senna siamea L. leaves was conducted. Ethanol, methanol and distilled water were used as extraction solvents for the conduct of untargeted Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the leave extracts. To mention but few, the ethanol extracts revealed the presence of 2-[2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy) ethoxy]ethyl acetate (C9H18O5); 3-Methylmannoside (C7H14O6); 7H-Chromen-7-one, 8-hydroxy-2,4-dimethyl (C11H10O3); 3,5-Dimethylanisole C9H12O as compound with the highest percentage area.Methanol extracts showed Thiophene, tetrahydro-2-methyl- (C5H10S); 4,6-Di-O-methyl-.alpha.-d-galactose (C8H16O6); 2-Furancarboxaldehyde, 5-[(5-methyl-2-furanyl)methyl]- (C11H10O3); 5,9-Undecadien-2-one, 6,10-dimethyl- (C13H22O) as compound with the highest percentage area. Distilled water extraction revealed Phosphoric acid, dimethyl(4-methoxy-3-t-butylphenyl) ester (C13H21O5P); Vitamin E (C29H50O2); Naphtalene-1,3-dicarbonitrile, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-hydroxy-4-phenyl (C18H14N2O); Lanosterol (C30H50O) as compound with the highest percentage area. Phytochemicals have been used for many years to control insect pest damage in agricultural crops. Pyretre, Nicotine, Rotenone and tobacco have long been used as control agents against insects in some regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Unlike synthetic chemical insecticides that kill both pests and non-target organisms, botanicals pesticides are relatively target specific. They are also biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and can also be used in insecticide resistance management programs. Hence, could serve as good alternatives to chemical insecticides.

Tarum (Indigofera ) is a plant that has high commodity value. It can produce a naturally blue color because it contains indican glycosides which are oxidized to indigo (alkaloid compounds). Tarum is included in the Fabaceae family, belonging to a leguminous tree species that has purple flower colors, used as a natural blue dye which is the result of extracting its leaves. This plant is easy to cultivate in dry land because it can improve soil fertility and increase the productivity of dry land. The cultivation of tarum plants is still relatively low, especially on dry land, due to the lack of knowledge of the local community about the potential and methods of cultivating tarum. In addition, tarum can be used as animal feed, tarum leaves are used as forage for animal feed because they contain high protein and nutrients for livestock, and are resistant to drought and disease. This socialization was done in the Bilubahan farmer group in Tapenpah Village, Insana District, North Central Timor Regency. The method used is counseling and the provision of educational materials that are easily accessible to the community of farmer groups, to increase knowledge, and skills and improve productivity and welfare of the community on dry land regarding tarum cultivation. The socialization was attended by the group leader and members of the Bilubahan farmer group, totaling 25 people, this activity went well and smoothly, and the result was that the community was interested and willing to do tarum cultivation.

inteligencia como instrumento de la ciencia frente a los retos actuales a la defensa y la seguridad
Authors: Baralt Blanco, ERD Coronel Nelton 
Published: June 2023

La Inteligencia involucra algunas discusiones a partir de su propia definición, tomada tanto por el origen de la voz en latín: inteligere, la cual es un término compuesto por inte (entre) y legere (leer o escoger) por lo que es asociado etimo­lógicamente como: “Saber escoger o elegir”.
Por otro lado es asociado a la búsqueda de información enfrentada a otra que es mejor aceptada por los que trabajan en esta rama, como una actividad, ciencia o arte que propende a la búsqueda del conocimiento. Todo esto es enfrentado en cierta manera con el concepto militar, que se basa en la búsqueda de informacio­nes que le permitan prever las acciones de una amenaza real o potencial.
Como resultado del fin de la Guerra Fría, se ha asociado el concepto y la labor que realizan las agencias de inteligencia, con organismos al servicio del Estado que en base a sus capacidades y recursos además de la imposición por la fuer­za, que hacen posible la existencia de estructuras represivas, bajo control estatal para enfrentar a sus opositores.
Aun con el surgimiento de las denominadas nuevas amenazas, esta vincula­ción político militar no ha podido ser erradicada, salvo en los casos de que la educación profesional de civiles y militares en universidades, ha permitido que muchos se integren a esta actividad y que por demás, estos organismos tengan acceso a diferentes sectores políticos, sociales, culturales, económicos, comuni­caciones y tecnología.
La inteligencia no puede seguir siendo vista desde esa definición obsoleta, sino que debe ser abordada desde tres perspectivas: Que persigue, Que medios dis­pones y a Quien le sirve, por lo que el denominado Ciclo de inteligencia, ya no responde con su pragmatismo a la celeridad con que ocurren los fenómenos.
No se trata únicamente de saber las cosas y a tiempo, se trata de prever con nues­tras capacidades y responder antes de que las amenazas actúen o puedan dar sus primeros pasos y mantener la iniciativa.
ciencia detrás de la guerra o ¿es al revés?
Authors: Sang Ben Miguel 
Published: June 2023

Este artículo trata de la naturaleza de la guerra como fenómeno humano y profundas raíces antropológicas, ya que parte de la evolución de la especie humana (hominización) y el desarrollo del cerebro humano (sapiensiación).
Confronta la aceleración del arte de la guerra a partir de la emergencia de la ciencia moderna con el fin de la Edad Media y el establecimiento del conocimiento por la experimentación en vez de la especulación.
El impacto en el arte de la guerra se ha realizado a nivel conceptual, con el establecimiento de los Ejércitos Nacionales y la abolición de los ejércitos particulares de los señores feudales por el Tratado de Westfalia y las experiencias de Federico el Grande, de Prusia, y Napoleón Bonaparte, de Francia.
El desarrollo moderno parte del fin de la guerra de posiciones con la Primera Guerra Mundial y el inicio del desarrollo de tres armas que introducen la movilidad en el combate: el tanque, el avión y el submarino. Introducimos el concepto de William Lind y asociados de la Guerra de Cuarta Generación y concluimos en que el desarrollo del armamento en base de los avances científicos está en una encrucijada por la asimetría de la guerra moderna.

Authors: Tavárez Rodríguez, PhD Ing. José Armando 
Published: June 2023

Las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) aplicadas a la seguridad y defensa se convierten en una realidad imperante en el mundo digital en que vi­vimos. El incremento constante de las amenazas y los ataques en el ciberespacio obligan a los gobiernos y diferentes organismos de seguridad pública y privada a desarrollar innovaciones tecnológicas y acciones de formación que permitan incrementar un frente de ciberdefensa que permita incrementar la seguridad de los ciudadanos que toca defender y proteger.
En el curso de los últimos treinta años el mundo se ha digitalizado de manera progresiva. Se ha producido un desarrollo importante de ecosistemas de inno­vación y desarrollo en torno al tema de cómo podemos generar innovaciones tecnológicas que puedan ser aplicadas a la seguridad y la defensa. Es por eso que diferentes actores deben trabajar de manera coordinada para asegurar una estra­tegia de ciberseguridad que permita la construcción de un ciberespacio cada vez más seguro.
El presente artículo se enfoca en analizar la necesidad creciente de profesionales especializados en seguridad informática o ciberseguridad y la respuesta que es­tán dando a esta realidad las diferentes instituciones educativas a nivel nacional e internacional, así como los organismos de gobierno. Se describe a modo de panorama general la realidad educativa nacional en lo que tiene que ver con pro­gramas formales de educación en materia de tecnologías aplicadas a la seguridad y defensa, así como el correspondiente marco legal que la sustenta.
Comunicación estratégica militar: arma de batalla frente a la pandemia
Authors: Sánchez Quintero Ceinett 
Published: June 2023

Dentro del amplio campo de investigación de la comunica­ción estratégica, un término para el cual no existe una defi­nición consensuada dentro de la comunidad científica, hay el interés por parte de quien suscribe, de demostrar que su empleo como herramienta de planificación e integración de las capacidades de información de Fuerzas Armadas domi­nicanas, contribuye significativamente en el alcance de sus objetivos militares, acorde con las actuales leyes y políticas públicas de defensa y seguridad de República Dominicana.
Frente a las circunstancias derivadas por la declaratoria de Pandemia por parte de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) en marzo 2020 y la expansión de la enfermedad COVID-19, la comunicación estratégica militar en el país y el mundo, adquiere importancia en la escala de valores de individuos y la reputación de las instituciones castrenses, estas últimas, llamadas constitucionalmente a desempeñar operaciones militares de apoyo a las autoridades sanitarias y con ello, garantizar la supervivencia de los dominicanos y en general, de la especie humana.
En este contexto, la investigación doctoral iniciada en el año 2018 titulada “Contribución de la comunicación estratégica en las políticas públicas de defensa y seguridad de la República Dominicana”, busca demostrar que su empleo oportuno per­mite el alcance de los objetivos militares de Fuerzas Armadas del país, tras planificar e integrar las capacidades informati­vas de cada una de las instituciones castrenses, en apego a la Constitución, las leyes y normativas vigentes.
Gestão social, economia, solidariedade: Habermas, Polanyi e o paradigma do mercado autorregulado
Authors: Campos Marilene de Souza , Ferreira Lara Luiza Silva , Júnior João Alfredo Costa de Campos Melo 
Published: June 2023

O presente trabalho constitui-se em um ensaio teórico, que emprega o método dedutivo monográfico e a técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica para realizar uma comparação entre a abordagem habermasiana e a da sociologia econômica no estudo da gestão social. Para realizar esta análise, vale-se do estudo da economia solidária como situação exemplar. A crítica da sociologia econômica ao paradigma do mercado autorregulado apresenta importantes contribuições ao estudo da gestão social. A abordagem habermasiana do que seria o objeto e método de estudos, lócus e as heterogêneas situações em que se aplica adquire cada vez mais robustez entre os pesquisadores do campo da gestão social. Como epicentro da abordagem habermasiana, a teoria da ação comunicativa baseia-se numa compreensão histórica do mercado autorregulado, afinizando com a crítica a este paradigma proferida por Polanyi e Granovetter. O mercado é uma construção social e como tal pode ser descontruída ou reformulada. A cisão entre sociedade e mercado, entre subsistema econômico e mundo-da-vida só faz sentido para Habermas quando referida ao capitalismo. A economia solidária está inserida e envolvida por instituições econômicas e não-econômicas, permeadas por laços societários e solidários; combina ação instrumental e ação comunicativa, implicando na penetração de aspectos normativos na economia de mercado.

Aims: The aims of this study was to analyze the influence of knowledge Practices and,Culture on the low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding.
Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding is breastfeeding as early as possible after delivery, given without schedule, and not given other food even if only water until the baby is six months old. Development Agency of the Indonesian Ministry of Health said Exclusive Breastfeeding in Aceh Province is 41.0%, the coverage of breastfeeding in Aceh Province is very low and has not reached the target set by the Indonesian Ministry of Health, which is 80%. West Aceh's exclusive breastfeeding coverage 44%, exclusive breastfeeding coverage is still far from the target. The Meutulang region for two consecutive years still has the same achievement rate of 13.4%.
Study Design: Cross-Sectional Survey approach.
Location and Duration of Study: Conducted in December 2022 (15 November-20 Desember) in Meutulang District, West Aceh, Aceh, Indonesia.
Methods: The population of all mothers who have babies aged 6-12 months. Sampling by the total sampling method, where all polluters were sampled as many as 44 respondents were. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate and then tested with a Simple Linear Regression Model.
Results: proved that there is an influence of knowledge, action, and culture on the low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding as evidenced by the correlation value (R) of 0.601 and the value of the coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.464, which means that the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable is 46.4% where the correlation between the independent and dependent variables is in a strong category with value (Pvalue <0.05).
Conclusion: There was an influence of knowledge with value (Pvalue 0.011<0.05), value action (Pvalue 0.028<0.05), and value culture (Pvalue 0.000<0.05) on the low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding.
Suggestions: There needs to be more intense socialization and enlightenment by relevant officers in terms of mothers' understanding of exclusive breastfeeding so that mothers consider exclusive breastfeeding more important and can analyze the culture around them to give breast milk to their babies at least until the age of 6 months.
