Identifying environment-specific and widely adapted genotypes is necessary through understanding of environmental interaction (GEI). To estimate the enormousness of genotype (G), environment (E) and GEI results on yield and yield components and it is necessary to conduct multi-locations trials of durum wheat. During the year 2019/20 cropping season eleven (11) durum wheat genotypes were appraised under three locations within Balochistan, Pakistan. Almost all traits exhibit significant results for combined analyses of variance for genotypes (G) and Genotype X Environmental Interaction (GEI), the results of the genotypes were not uniform transversely the locations shows strong effect of environments. Commonly, out of total variation, GEI explicated chief share of deviation and thus had greater effect than genotypes (G) and environment (E) on the countenance of makeup for all characters. Mean value of three environments indicates that the genotype/line (G-9) produced supreme value for grain yield (4682.4 Kg ha-1) and harvest index (34.66%), signifying it as reputable their exact malleability in corresponding environments. Among environments, E-02 was acknowledged as exceedingly fruitful environments in relations of grain yield. High yielding and widely adaptable genotype thus seemed as principal genotype/line for supreme of the production traits. Likewise, in all three environments G-9 had produced higher grain yield excluding E-03. Analysis of correlation exposed momentous positive link of grain yield with plant density m-2 (rg = 0.40*), biological yield (rg = 0.39*) and harvest index (rg = 0.82*). The genotype/line G-9 was originated as extraordinary yielding genotype/line and consequently could be suggested for commercialization in Balochistan.

This article exists as a call for decolonizing methodologies and the reversal of colonial logic. Drawing in part on my own ethnographic research on soccer in the Fiji Islands and popular music and society in Indonesia, I explain how local study participants can and should be encouraged to operate as co-interviewers and co-researchers so that the project has an Indigenous flavour and orientation and functions in terms of Indigenous understandings of relationships, practices, and values. The last section of the article draws out the implications of decolonizing methodologies for nursing lecturers and nursing researchers in the Global South. Based on three short cases, I conclude that decolonizing logic means that, first and foremost, we learn to choose and want to choose the Fiji logic while not necessarily despising the Western logic but putting it below or in parenthesis. We might need to remember it if and when we go home!

Once the larval development is complete, the Braula, Nitzsch, 1818 (Braulidae) becomes a pupa within the tunnels it has excavated, and when it reaches the adult state, it attaches itself to the body of the bee. Department of the cycle, from oviposition to the emergence of the adult parasite reaches 21 days. When the beekeeper carries out inspections of his hives. Parasitized bees, especially queens, are restless, nervous, weakened, and at intervals shake their legs or rub their bodies with their wings, in order to get rid of the parasites, but without any success. The Streblidae are viviparous ectoparasites, obligatory and exclusive to bats, which instead of laying eggs or larvae, what they do is put an already developed pupa. Viviparity is adenotrophic; that is, the larvae feed on glandular secretions in the uterus. In the third instar, the larva is deposited in the shelter of the host. One larva develops inside the female and feeds on secretions from the accessory glands, which are highly specialized. Eventually, the third-instar larva is deposited as a sessile prepupa in a substrate. The objective of this bibliographical production is to understand the biological, ecological, and taxonomic characteristics of the Braulidae and Streblidae families. In terms of the type of research source, we worked with scientific articles published in national and international journals. This type of production, in addition to being commonly the most valued in all bibliographic production, is the most easily accessed. Access to articles was through virtual libraries such as SciELO, ResearchGate, Hall, USP, UNB, CAPES, Qeios, and LILACS.

The Gasteruptiidae are also hyperparasitic species. The “Parasitica” lay their eggs in other juvenile insects (eggs, larvae, or pupae) and the larvae hatch and develop feeding on the host. Many of these parasitoid wasps are used as biological control of agricultural pests. Larvae are predators/parasitoids and/or kleptoparasites. Their hosts are bees and wasps of the Colletidae, Megachilidae, Sphecidae, Apidae, Anthophoridae, and Vespidae families. When females oviposit their eggs on or nearby host larvae with the help of an ovipositor not present in males, they hatch into Gasteruption, Latreille, 1796, larvae which proceed to consume the host's larvae. The aim of this article was to describe the bionomy and classification of the family Gasteruptiidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera). Indexed articles, scientific book chapters, theses databases, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles, scientific journals, documents, and academic and scientific journals are available online ResearchGate, HAL SSRN, Scielo, and Qeios were used. The present work uses the reference of bibliographical research, understood as the act of inquiring and seeking information on a certain subject, through a survey carried out in national and foreign databases, with the objective of detecting what exists of consensus or controversy.

While perhaps more in the purview of physics, the hypothesis proposed here still has wide-ranging implications for biological living systems as well. Central to it are the fundamental particles known as electrons, which of course also play a central role in the electron transport chain and oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions found throughout not only inorganic, but organic and biochemistry, in addition to biology. The formerly mentioned electron transport chain involves the incremental extraction of energy from electrons in living biological systems, while the latter is characterized by loss of electrons by one chemical species – oxidation – and subsequent gain of those electrons – reduction – by an adjacent chemical species. Such is the basis for nearly every, if not all metabolic processes in living organisms.

The Sclerocarya birrea tree is a widespread and little-studied multipurpose forest species in Niger. The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality and sensory perception of fruit pulp juices from two different regions. The results showed that the germs of alteration range from absence to 22 CFU/g for total mesophilic aerobic flora, from 01 to 08 CFU/g for total coliforms, the absence of yeasts and molds for 4 samples, the presence of yeasts at the level of 3 samples, varying from 02 to 23 CFU/g, and the absence of sulfite-reducing anaerobic germs for all sites. The presence of pathogenic germs in E. coli from 03 to 08 UCF/g was noted, but no salmonella was found, and staphylococci were found in at least two samples. There was no effect produced by the descriptors on the acid-sugar and acid-taste balance (P > 0.05), and the judges have different rating scales. The correlation analysis shows that there is an agreement among some panel members. The hedonic rating shows that two samples out of six did not obtain a good mean from consumers and global appreciation for the other four samples. It appears that good hygiene and processing practices must be reviewed in juice processing. In addition, the fruits of S. birrea are very acidic but also sweet, which requires the search for adequate methods of preservation to improve the taste qualities of its juice.

Mosquitoes are worldwide insect-borne disease caused agents. Malaria is wide spread in tropical and subtropical regions. This work aim to determine the phytochemical composition of Neem (Azadirachta indica), and Argel (Solenostemma argel) and to test their biocidal activity against mosquitoes larvae. Plant materials were brought from within Wad Medani City, Gezira State, Sudan, while Anopheles and Culex larvae were brought from the insectary of Blue Nile Institute for Communicable Diseases, University of Gezira. In this study the standard methods for phytochemical screening were followed to determine the presence of the main classes, also the WHO (2012) procedure to test the toxic product against mosquitoes larvae was also followed. The results showed that, neem leaves and Argel shared the presence of flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, steroids and alkaloids. The hydro-ethanol extract of Neem leaves reflected LC50 =278, 63 mg/L against Anopheles larvae, while that of the Culex was 356.22 mg/L after 24 hours. The hydro-ethanol extract of Argel leaves reflected LC50 = 265.49 mg/L against Anopheles larvae, while that of the Culex was 349.58 mg/L after 24 hours. Also Anopheles larvae were more susceptible than Culex larvae. The effort of testing the available plant product to combat insect pests and vectors should not ignore.

Argel (Solenostemma argel) and Black seeds (Nigella sativa) are important spices available in Sudan and used in traditional medicine to prove health and to fight microbes. This work aim to determine the chemical composition of Argel (S. argel) and Black seed (N. sativa) and their antibacterial activities against E. coli. Plant samples and E. coli strain were brought from Wad Medani City, Gezira State, Sudan. The plant materials were used to run GC-MS analysis and antibacterial test using the standard methods. The results showed that, The main compounds identified from Argel polar extracted, were 3-pentanol, 2,2,4,4- tetramethyle-(15.61%), (3E.5E.7E)-6-Methyl-8-(2,6,6-trimethyl (13.28%), 4H-Pyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-3.5-hydroxy (11.8%), and 2,2-Dimethyl-3-[3-methyl-5-(phenylthio) (9.47%), while those of the Black seeds were hexanedecanoic acid (29.44%), Glycerin (18.45%), Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z) (17.97%), and (R)-(-)-14-Methyl-8-hexadecyn-1-ol (11.95%). Also the aqueous extract of Argel leaves and Black seeds at concentrations of 5% revealed 6 mm and 0 mm inhibition zones, respectively, but the concentration of 25% produced inhibition zone of 17 and 18 mm, respectively, on E. coli isolate. The effort that seeks for cheap, safe and effective natural agents should be continued.

Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) is a semi-quantitative evaluation executed to recognize, early within side the layout and definition level of a system, all potential hazards and hazardous events that can cause an accident, classify identified hazardous events according to their severity and identify the required hazard controls and their respective follow-up actions. It is a great tool for beginning to recognize the hazards of a system. In some cases, a PHA is all that is needed to analyse a simple system. It is also the first step in the hazard analysis of more complicated systems. This review illustrates PHA's use for analysing a maintenance process/procedure and discusses the injuries that can occur with poor design and recommend solutions.

This review illustrates PHA's use for analysing a maintenance process/procedure and discusses the injuries that can occur with poor design and recommend solutions.","PeriodicalId":199114,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Frontiers in Science and Technology Research","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126843849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Tipulidae serve as food for several species of birds and insects. Many fish and some waterfowl feed on the larvae. They are vulnerable to fungal infection. Some aquatic larvae are used as bait in recreational fishing. The Tipulidae are agricultural pests of economic importance because the larvae live in the upper layers of the soil, where they feed on the roots, root hairs, crown and sometimes the leaves of crops, stunting their growth or killing the plants. The aim of the manuscript is to report the importance of Tipulidae in the natural control of Culicidae. The bibliographic verification of Tipulidae was carried out from 1906 to 2022. Manuscripts published in scientific journals and digital platforms on the subject were examined. With this paper it expands the knowledge of the bioecology and bionomy of Tipulidae.
