A field experiment was conducted at Main Oilseeds Research Station, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh in 2023 during the kharif season to investigate the seasonal incidence of Spodoptera litura (Fab.) infesting groundnut concerning leaf damage. The activity of the activity of S. litura began in the 31st standard meteorological week (SMW) in fourth week of July, with 5.53 per cent leaf damage initially. During the third week of August, the 34th SMW recorded the first peak of 12.97 per cent leaf damage. After a slight decrease in leaf damage, a second peak was seen in the 38th SMW, in third week of September, with 14.89 per cent leaf damage. In the following weeks, there was a decrease in the leaf damage, reaching its lowest during the 44th SMW, which fell on the fifth week of October, with 0.78 per cent leaf damage. The correlation studies showed a significant positive correlation between larval population and minimum temperature, morning relative humidity, and morning and evening vapor pressure (r = 0.613*, 0.515*, 0.637* and 0.577*, respectively).

This study explored how COVID-19 affected farmers in Chikkaballapur District, Karnataka, India. Using an ex-post-facto research design, data were collected from 50 randomly selected farmers through a pretested structured interview schedule. The goal was to understand their perceptions of the pandemic's impact on farming, productivity, economy, markets, labour, and community well-being. Statistical methods like mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyse the relationships between various factors. The findings showed significant variability in farm size and income, indicating a wide range of differences among farmers. Notably, changes in economic factors were significantly related to farm size, while changes in production were significantly related to education. Health and sanitation were negatively correlated with changes in farm technology, suggesting that better infrastructure could influence the adoption of new technologies. Age and education significantly impacted changes in farm management, highlighting the importance of demographic factors in farming decisions. The study emphasized the complex effects of the pandemic on farming practices and highlighted the need for targeted interventions. Recommendations include financial support programs, improved market access, promotion of digital tools, and diversified cropping strategies to help farmers build resilience and sustainability. These measures aim to reduce the adverse effects of crises and improve the overall well-being of farming communities.

Global pandemic COVID-19 severely impacted the agricultural economies of all countries, including India. The paper covers the current status of agribusiness in India and how it has emerged as a major indicator for growth and development during the pandemic. In India, MANAGE has trained 72,806 agri-graduates in agripreneurship, and as of December 2020, there were 30,583 (42%) active agriventures around the world. Majority of farmers have lost their markets as a result of lockdown, and due to travel limitations, lack of training and consulting services resulted in crop loss, high produce prices, and labour scarcity. Agri Bazaar, Harvesting Farmer Network, Agricx Lab, CropIn, Bigbasket, Agrostar, Sickle Innovations, Agrirain, Farmguide, and PayAgri are few Agri-startups that arose in India during the pandemic to address the issues that farmers faced. Reorienting current agriculture towards agribusiness within the existing opportunities has the potential to significantly alter the lives farmers and its stakeholders as agripreneurship has demonstrated the path to farmer growth and sustainability even during the pandemic.

Cola verticillata (Sterculiaceae) is a plant that produces nuts renowned for their ceremonial, cultural, medicinal and above all economic value in Africa. The study consisted in evaluating the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of the aqueous extract of the plant's nuts on the Zonocerus variegatus model. Male and adult locusts were treated with increasing concentrations of 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 µg/ml. The 0.01 ml/mg extract was administered intraperitoneal and 96 h post-treatment the grasshoppers were killed, dissected and the testicular follicles removed for smear preparation. Chromosomal examinations revealed that the aqueous extract of C. verticillata induced a significant regression of the meiotic index, followed by a significant increase in the chiasmatic frequency in a concentration-dependent manner and in comparison with the control group. In addition to chromosome bridges, chromosome breaks, sticky chromosomes and leak chromosomes were observed mainly at 40 µg/ml. These results show that Cola extract is cytotoxic and genotoxic because it slowed down meiosis while also inducing multiple chromosomal abnormalities with clastogenic effects in the male Z. variegatus breeder. The results of this study call for populations to consume kola nuts (Cola verticillata) intermittently if the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects are not reversed.

Rice is a crop that is grown worldwide and is mostly produced in Asian countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and others. For every ton of harvested rice, around 1.5 tons of paddy straw is produced. Paddy straw is available in substantial amounts during the rice harvesting seasons, depending on the region. In place of burning, governments and communities can promote composting, use paddy straw as animal feed, or invest in technology that turn waste straw into goods that are valuable. Buildings with improved energy efficiency, reduced agricultural waste, and alternative building materials can all benefit from the use of paddy straw in construction. However, proper processing and treatment are required to assure structural integrity, fire resistance, and longevity in construction applications. A thorough analysis was carried out to see how paddy straw might be used to address different environmental issues. It addresses a number of issues, including market potential, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and technological viability. In this type of research, the durability, workability, and compressive strength of the concrete mix are typically evaluated by replacing a portion of the cement with ash derived from paddy straws. Research topics often include the optimal ash concentration, effects on hydration kinetics, and long-term performance of concrete.

Mode mixity is common in fatigue growth problems to assess the integrity of components by obtaining the fracture parameters as stress intensity factor, T-stress, J-integrals etc. Present study aims to investigate the effects of fracture parameters in a modified Compact Tension (CT) specimen using finite element methods (FEM) with ANSYS 2022 software. Crack orientation angle (α) and thickness (t) have their effects on crack growth which affect the life of a mechanical component. With increasing the crack inclination angle (0°, 15°, 30°, 45° and 60°), an increase in mode III stress intensity factor is noticed while mode I showed a significant decrement. Pure mode I is notice at 0°. With further increase in the angle mode-mixity (mode I and mode III) is obtained. Also, with an increase in the thickness (8mm, 10mm and 12mm) of component there is a noticeable decrease in all modes of stress intensity factor. This mode-mixity play a crucial role in the cracked model of the specimen.
模式混合在疲劳增长问题中很常见，通过获取应力强度因子、T 应力、J 积分等断裂参数来评估部件的完整性。 本研究旨在使用 ANSYS 2022 软件的有限元方法（FEM），研究改进的紧凑拉伸（CT）试样中断裂参数的影响。裂纹倾角 (α) 和厚度 (t) 对裂纹生长有影响，而裂纹生长会影响机械部件的寿命。随着裂纹倾角（0°、15°、30°、45° 和 60°）的增大，模式 III 的应力强度因子明显增大，而模式 I 则显著减小。0° 时为纯模式 I。随着角度的进一步增大，出现了模式混合（模式 I 和模式 III）。 此外，随着构件厚度（8 毫米、10 毫米和 12 毫米）的增加，所有模式的应力强度因子都明显下降。这种混合模式在试样的裂纹模型中起着至关重要的作用。

The report aims to describe a case of left mandibular sialocele in a dog. A male, castrated, Shih Tzu dog, weighing 7 kilograms and five years old, was treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the School of Veterinary and Zootechnics at the Federal University of Goiás. A fluctuating non-painful subcutaneous swelling was observed in the left ventral cervical region during the clinical examination. Image tests revealed anechoic content with dilation of the salivary duct, heterogeneity and enlargement of the left mandibular gland and possibility of sialolithiasis. Besides, cytological analysis showed results that confirm the diagnose of left mandibular sialocele. Following the diagnosis, surgical treatment was made, performing sialoadenectomy. A skin incision was made ventral to the ear canal in the dorsal direction caudal to the angle of the mandible, and the patient was evaluated for days. Salivary sialocele is the most common sialoadenopathy in dogs and its diagnoses require several image methods and the surgical treatment is essential for healing and improving clinical signs.

People show different emotional and psychological states over time due to stress, workload, sleep and other factors. This study examined the emotional and psychological states of 200 Junior High School Teachers. The study employed the quantitative method. The instrument used was a questionnaire. The collected data was analysed using frequencies, percentages, Pearson's Correlation and Regression. The instrument was made based on the experiences of the researchers and available literature. Confirmatory Factor analysis led to the reduction of the number of items on the questionnaire to 40. The results showed that teachers do not freely express their emotions, which affects their sleep patterns. The final questionnaire has strong psychometric properties, including a clear factor structure and adequate reliability. Based on these findings, we recommend that stakeholders like the Ministries of Health and Labour educate teachers on emotion management and encourage them to seek psychological and medical support. We also urge the Ministry of Education to prioritize mental well-being among teachers by incorporating coping methods like positive, emotional, religious, and social coping. To the Mental Health Authority, we recommended that they must intensify their efforts to demystify mental health services, making them accessible to all, and to avoid viewing mental health problems solely through a spiritual lens.

Knowledge of the characteristics of a watershed is fundamental to understanding the environmental dynamics of this planning unit. In this sense, the objective of this work was to characterize the morphometric aspects of the Córrego Jacuí watershed, located in the municipality of João Monlevade (MG), since this characterization makes it possible to understand the hydrological behaviour of the watershed and provide subsidies for its management. The bibliographic survey showed no morphometric studies available for the watershed studied. Considering the increasing urbanization of the basin, these first studies are important to understand its dynamics. The study used the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) image with a resolution of 30 m and the digital elevation model (DEM) generated from it. The geoprocessing of the watershed information was carried out using tools from the free software Quantum Gis (QGIS). The morphometric parameters determined for the studied basin were area, perimeter, total length of tributary channels, compactness coefficient (Kc), shape factor (Kf), drainage density (Dd) and circularity index (Ic). The results indicate that the basin is elongated, with moderately developed dendritic drainage and a low to moderate propensity to flood under average annual rainfall conditions. It should be noted, however, that land use and occupation activity that interferes with the main channel can alter this trend by silting up the watercourse, making flooding more frequent than the morphometric characteristics of the watershed indicate.

It should be noted, however, that land use and occupation activity that interferes with the main channel can alter this trend by silting up the watercourse, making flooding more frequent than the morphometric characteristics of the watershed indicate.","PeriodicalId":91191,"journal":{"name":"Advances in research","volume":"38 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141651076","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}

India is a key player in okra production with Andhra Pradesh leading state in cultivation. However, the crop faces significant challenges from Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus (YVMV) and enation leaf curl virus (ELCV) which severely impact yield and quality. The study conducted at the Vegetable Research Farm, Regional Horticultural Research Station, evaluated 37 okra genotypes for resistance against these biotic stresses. The genotypes, including 8 parents and 28 hybrids were assessed under three different environments in a Randomized Block Design. The results revealed that none of the genotypes were immune to shoot and fruit borer infestation, YVMV and ELCV. However, some hybrids demonstrated resistance or tolerance to these stresses with the top three hybrids displaying high levels of resistance against shoot and fruit borer infestation, moderate resistance against YVMV and high tolerance to ELCV. Nevertheless, none of the hybrids showed consistent immunity across all environments.
