Preučevanje fenoptipske raznolikosti etiopskih genotipov ječmena (Hordeum vulgare L.) na osnovi variance in multivariatne analize
Full text linkExploring the genetic diversity of barley germplasm conserved in the gene bank is critical for climate-resilient breeding. This study explored the phenotypic diversity and associations of 10 quantitative agro-morphological traits among 229 Ethiopian barley genotypes to identify desirable traits and promising accessions. The experiment was conducted at Holeta Agricultural Research Center in 2023 using an augmented design. The result of the analysis of variance revealed significant variation among the studied genotypes. A significant variability and wide range of mean performance were observed for the studied traits. Key traits like heading and maturity, grain filling period, 1000-kernel mass, kernel number per spike, and productive tillers were the most discriminating traits contributing to the highest variability (46.9 %). Cluster analysis identified three major trait-specific clusters. Grain yield exhibits a moderate correlation with plant height and kernel number per spike. High phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were obtained for grain yield, productive tillers, kernel number per spike, and spikelet per spike. In addition, high heritability and genetic advance were observed for days to heading, productive tillers, spike length, kernel number and spikelet per spike, and grain yield suggesting selective breeding for these traits is likely to be effective for crop improvement programs.Preučevanje genetske raznolikosti ječmena shranjenega v genski banki je nujno potrebno za podnebno odporno žlahtnjenje. V raziskavi je bila preučevana fenotipska raznolikost in z njo povezane lastnosti desetih kvantitativnih agro-morfoloških lastnosti med 229 etiopskimi genotipi ječmena z namenom določiti željene lastnosti in obetavne akcesije. Izsledki analize variance so pokazali značilne raznolikosti med preučevanimi genotipi. Med preučevanimi lastnostmi je bila ugotovljena značilna variabilnost z širokim razponom poprečij. Ključne lastnosti kot so čas do klasenja, zrelost, obdobje polnjenja zrnja, masa 1000-zrn, število zrn na klas, in število fertilnih poganjkov so se najbolj razlikovale in so največ prispevale (46.9 %). S klastersko analizo so bili prepoznani trije specifični grozdi, glede na glavne lastnosti. Pridelek zrnja je pokazal zmerno korelacijo z višino rastlin in številom zrn na klas. Doseženi so bili veliki fenotipični in genotipični koeficienti raznolikosti za pridelek zrnja, plodne poganjke, število zrn na klas in število klaskov na klas. Dodatno je bila opažena velika dednost in genetska prednost v znakih kot so število dni do klasenja, v številu plodnih poganjkov, v dolžini klasa, v številu zrn in klaskov na klas ter v pridelku zrnja, kar nakazuje, da bi bilo selektivno žlahtnjenje za te lastnosti verjetno učinkovito v programih izboljšanja te poljščine.
Upor proti tehnološki odvisnosti z Mencijem
Full text linkIn the attention economy, technology companies derive their primary profits not from direct content consumption but from advertising revenue generated by capturing users’ attention. This relentless pursuit of attention has led to widespread issues of addiction to social media, pornography, and video games across the world. This problem cannot be addressed by individual willpower alone, as advanced technologies and design techniques are deliberately crafted to exploit human psychology and foster addictive behaviours. To address this issue, we must move away from both rugged individualism and oppressive patriarchy. Mencian ethics, particularly his principle of “don’t forget, don’t force”, offers a valuable model. According to this approach, we should focus on collectively creating environments that foster healthy digital habits, rather than placing the burden solely on individuals or resorting to forceful behaviour modification. This environment must be nurtured by all family members. Beyond the family, we must also work to cultivate a healthy digital culture in society at large.V ekonomiji pozornosti tehnološka podjetja ne ustvarjajo glavnega dobička iz neposredne potrošnje vsebin, temveč iz oglaševalskih prihodkov, ki jih ustvarijo s pritegnitvijo pozornosti uporabnikov. To nenehno prizadevanje za pozornost je po vsem svetu privedlo do odvisnosti od družbenih medijev, pornografije in videoiger. Te težave ni mogoče rešiti zgolj z individualno voljo, saj so napredne tehnologije in oblikovalske tehnike namerno zasnovane na način, da izkoriščajo človeško psihologijo ter spodbujajo zasvojenost. Da bi primerno obravnavali te težave, se moramo odmakniti od ostrega individualizma in zatiralnega patriarhata. Pri tem Mencijeva etika, zlasti njegovo načelo »ne pozabi, ne vsiljuj«, ponuja dragocen model. V skladu s tem bi se morali osredotočiti na skupno ustvarjanje okolij, ki spodbujajo zdrave digitalne navade, namesto da breme prelagamo izključno na posameznike oziroma se zatekamo k prisilnemu spreminjanju vedenja. To okolje morajo negovati vsi družinski člani. Hkrati si je treba prizadevati tudi za gojenje zdrave digitalne kulture v družbi kot celoti
Srečanje z Zhuangzijem: Prilagodljivost in praznina v zgodbi o Huziju, Jixianu in Lieziju
Full text linkThe Zhuangzi 莊子 often uses its multicoloured characters and imaginative stories to make its points. So much so that one of these characters is, I wish to argue, a stand-in for the text of the Zhuangzi itself. Huzi 壺子, when he meets Jixian 季咸 through the intermediary of his student Liezi 列子, exhibits the kind of emptiness that characterizes the text. This emptiness pertains to his ability to change forms as he wishes, for he is never fixed into one singular shape. He represents the adaptable and flexible behaviour which enables one to use specific schemes of valuation with parsimony, when they are adapted to the context, and never to remain fixed on one single such scheme. Jixian and Liezi are, in my interpretation, two readers of the text who come at it from different yet fixed angles. Their backgrounds and reactions while reading the text teach us the ways one can deal with that emptiness. One could try, like Jixian, to apply one’s own standards to the text, witness its resistance, and leave in frustration. Or one could, like Liezi, realize that the text’s emptiness is an invitation to leave the text behind and to discard fixed and single-minded valuation schemes. In the end, this cautionary tale aptly represents the text’s non-judgmental openness as well as its subtly subversive critique of the attitudes to learning and applying what one has learned prevalent in its time.Zhuangzi 莊子svoje pisane like in domiselne zgodbe pogosto uporablja za ponazoritev svojih spoznanj. Trdim, da je tako celo v tolikšni meri, da eden izmed likov deluje kot nadomestek za samo besedilo Zhuangzi. Ko Huzi 壺子 prek svojega učenca Liezija 列子 sreča Jixiana 季咸, predstavlja vrsto praznine, ki zaznamuje celotno besedilo. Ta praznina se kaže v Huzijevi sposobnosti, da po želji spreminja svojo obliko, saj nikoli ni omejen na eno samo, določeno podobo. Predstavlja prilagodljivo in prožno vedênje, ki nam omogoča varčno oziroma preudarno uporabo določenih vrednostnih shem, kadar so ustrezne glede na kontekst, pri čemer nikoli nismo omejeni na eno samo shemo. V tem smislu Jixian in Liezi nastopata kot dva bralca Zhuangzija, ki k besedilu pristopata z različnih, toda določenih zornih kotov. Njuno ozadje in odzivi med branjem besedila nas učijo različnih načinov soočenja s to praznino. Bralec lahko, tako kot Jixian, na besedilo poskuša aplicirati lastne kriterije, naleti na odpor in v frustraciji odneha. Lahko pa tudi, tako kot Liezi, spozna, da je praznina besedila povabilo k preseganju samega besedila in opuščanju togih, enostranskih shem vrednotenja.
Navsezadnje ta opozorilna pripoved ustrezno ponazarja Zhuangzijevo neobsojajočo odprtost ter njegovo subtilno subverzivno kritiko tedanjih pristopov k učenju in uporabi pridobljenega znanja
Učinek velikih vsebnosti rezidualnega natrijevega karbonata (RSC) v vodi in dodatkov na lastnosti tal v kolobarju riža in gorjušice
Full text linkA trial was designed to study the deleterious effect of high RSC water on soil properties under rice-mustard crop rotation. Treatments included were; T1: High RSC water, T2: Gypsum on the basis of RSC of water, T3: H2SO4 on the basis of RSC of water, T4: Green Manuring with Guar, T5: FYM at the rate of 10 t. ha-1. For irrigation tube well water having (EC 1.37 dS m-1, SAR 8.40 (mmol L-1)1/2 and RSC 7.85 me L-1) was used. The results revealed that lowest paddy (2.22 t ha−1) and grain yield (1.00 t ha−1) of rice and mustard were recorded when irrigated with high RSC water. In case of soil analysis, long-term use of high RSC water induces secondary salinity by increasing pH (1.92%), EC (5.73%) and SAR (35.71%) over their initial values. Harmful effects of high RSC water were thwarted by all the treatments; however, positive effects of gypsum were more visible that increased crop growth and grain yield of rice-mustard crops by promoting soil properties. Gypsum recorded the highest paddy and grain yield (3.66 t ha−1, 1.70 t ha−1) of rice and mustard crop and decreased soil pHs (4.98%), ECe (29.93%) and SAR (54.54%) over their initial values.Poskus je bil izveden z namenom preučiti škodljive učinke velikih vsebnosti natrijeva karbonata na lastnosti tal v kolobarju riža in gorjušice. Obravnavanja so bila; T1: velika vsebnost RSC v vodi, T2: dodatek sadre vodi z veliko vsebnostjo RSC, T3: dodatek H2SO4 vodi z veliko vsebnostjo RSC , T4: zeleno gnojenje z guarom, T5: dodatek hlevskega gnoja (FYM) v odmerku 10 t ha-1. Za namakanje je bila uporabljena voda iz vodnjakov naslednjih lastnosti: električna prevodnost (EC 1.37 dS m-1), razmerje adsorbiranega natrija (SAR; 8.40 mmol l-1)1/2 in RSC 7.85 me l-1). Rezultati so pokazali, da je bil najmanjši pridelek biomase (2,22 t ha−1) in zrnja (1,00 t ha−1) v kolobarju riža in gorjušice pri zalivanju z RSC vodo. Analize tal so pokazale, da je dolgotrajno namakanje z RSC vodo povzročilo sekundarno salinizacijo s povečanjem pH (1,92 %), EC (5,73 %) in SAR (35,71 %) glede na začetne vrednosti. Dodatek sadre je dal največji pridelek biomase in zrnja riža (3,66 t ha−1, 1,70 t ha−1), zmanjšal pH (4,98 %), električno prevodnost (ECe ; 29,93 %) in SAR (54,54 %) glede na njihove izhodiščne vrednosti.
The use of thermography for monitoring the effects of manual therapy in the form of massage on the surface temperature of certain body regions in horses: a preliminary study
Full text linkNamen pilotne raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kako manualna terapija v obliki masaže (v nadaljevanju masaža) vpliva na površinsko temperaturo telesnih regij konja. S tem namenom je bil izveden poskus v treh dnevih, v katerem smo s posnetki termografske kamere Optris PI 400i izmerili temperaturo šestih različnih masiranih telesnih regij. V poskus je bilo vključenih šest toplokrvnih konj, ki so bili nameščeni v individualnih boksih. Meritve znotraj istega dne so bile izvedene: tik pred masažo (0) ter 1, 15, 30 in 60 minut po izvedeni masaži. Najvišjo povprečno temperaturo vseh merjenj smo zabeležili v zadnjem dnevu (31,2 °C), in se je statistično značilno razlikovala od predhodnih dni. Pri analizi posameznih telesnih področij konja je bila zabeležena najnižja povprečna temperatura (29,2 °C) v predelu križa in najvišja (31,7 °C) na področju prsi konja. Tik pred masažo je bila povprečna površinska temperatura značilno najnižja (30,5 °C) in se je značilno razlikovala od temperature po masaži. Trideset minut po masaži je bila površinska temperatura najvišja, potem je začela padati. Potrjene razlike v površinski temperaturi nakazujejo na pomemben fiziološki odziv, ki bi lahko pomagal razložiti poročila o terapevtskih koristih masaže.The aim of the pilot study was to determine the effect of manual therapy in the form of massage on the surface temperature of the horse\u27s body areas. An experiment was carried out in three days, in which we measured the temperature in six different massaged body areas using the Optris PI 400i thermographic camera. Six warm-blooded horses housed in individual stalls were included. The measurements were taken within the same day in the following time intervals: immediately before the massage (0) and 1, 15, 30 and 60 minutes after the massage. The highest average temperature of all measurements was recorded in the last observed day (31.2 °C) and was statistically significantly different from the two previous days. When analyzing the individual areas of the horse\u27s body, the lowest average temperature (29.2 °C) was recorded in the back (lumbar spine) area and the highest (31.7 °C) in the chest. When analysing the time of measurement, the significantly lowest average temperature was detected before the massage (30.5 °C). Thirty minutes after the massage, the measured temperatures were the highest. The confirmed differences in surface temperature indicate an important physiological response that could help explain reports of therapeutic benefits of massage therapy
Identifying gene actions to rice yield and its components traits underboth normal and drought conditions
Full text linkEight rice genotypes were selected to conduct all crosses in diallel Method 2 Model 1 design to generate genotypes tolerance to drought stress with high yield potential. The parents Giza179 and Sakha 108 and the crosses UYR 3472 × GZ10739 and GZ10487 × Giza179 reported the highest mean values of the grain yield plant-1 under drought conditions. Two and twelve hybrids revealed desirable highly and highly significant positive heterotic effects as a deviation over mid parent, one hybrid obtained significant positive heterotic over better-parent under natural condition. Regarding the grain yield plant-1, four and six parents showed desirable significant and highly significant positive general combing ability effects under either natural and drought conditions, respectively. Five and thirteen hybrids showed desirable significant and highly significant positive specific combining ability effects under both natural and drought conditions, respectively regarding grain yield plant-1. The high significant and positive associated among grain yield and days to heading, relative water content, number of panicles plant-1, thousand grain mass and water use efficiency for both natural and drought environments. The crosses GZ10739 × WAB 638-1, GZ10739 × IRAT112 and WAB 638-1 × IRAT 112 had superior in most agronomic traits at drought condition.Izbranih je bilo osem genotipov riža za izvedbo dialelnih križanj (Metoda 2 Model 1) za vzgojo genotipov s toleranco na sušo in velikim potencialom pridelka. Križanci starševskih genotipov Giza179 in Sakha 108 in križanci UYR 3472 × GZ10739 ter GZ10487 × Giza179 so imeli največji poprečni pridelek zrnja na rastlino v razmerah suše. Dva in dvanajst križancev je imelo zaželjen velik, značilen pozitivni heterotični učinek kot odklon od poprečja staršev, eden od križancev je v naravnih razmerah dosegel značilno pozitiven heterotični učinek glede na boljšega starša. Glede na pridelek zrnja na rastlino so štiri in šest staršev pokazali zaželjene značilne, pozitivne, splošne kombinacijske učinke v naravnih razmerah kot v razmerah suše. Pet in trinajst križancev je v naravnih in sušnih razmerah pokazalo zaželjene in visoko značilne pozitivne specifične kombinacijske učinke glede na pridelek zrnja na rastlino. Ugotovljena je bila zelo značilna in pozitivna povezava med pridelkom zrnja, dnevi do klasenja, relativno vsebnostjo vode, številom latov na rastlino, maso tisočih zrn in učinkovitostjo izrabe vode v normalnem in sušnem okolju. Križanja GZ10739 × WAB 638-1, GZ10739 × IRAT112 in WAB 638-1 × IRAT 112 so bila superiorna v vseh agronomskih lastnostih v razmerah suše.
Water Quality Effects on Germination of Okra Seed (Abelmoschus esculentus L.)
Full text linkThis study, conducted at Bakrajo Technical Institute in 2023, assessed the water quality of 24 resources using the Irrigation Water Quality Index (IWQI). Results revealed two categories: "Excellent" (19 resources, IWQI 91.4-96.5) and "Good" (5 resources, IWQI 70-90). Water in the "Excellent" category was highly suitable for irrigation, while the "Good" category was of lower quality but still acceptable. Electrical conductivity (EC) was identified as a key factor influencing the IWQI, with higher EC correlating with lower water quality. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC) were used to classify resources based on cation, anion, and heavy metal content. A negative correlation between EC and IWQI emphasized the importance of monitoring EC for irrigation purposes. The study also found weak, non-significant correlations between pH, EC, and germination ratio, but noted that higher IWQI values and lower EC levels generally promoted better seed germination. The findings highlight the value of advanced models in water quality classification, offering essential insights for agricultural water management
Konfucijanski ideal osebe (osebnosti) in pacifizem
Full text linkSo-called Confucianism (rujia 儒家) developed a notion of an ideal person(ality), the junzi 君子, who eschews solving problems or eliminating disagreement by use of force. Instead, guided by principles of humaneness (ren 仁) and righteousness (yi 義), he uses well-founded arguments, and he does this in a becoming way, displaying no show of superiority. Moreover, the junzi highly values human dignity (tianjue 天爵, literally “nobility of Heaven”), i.e. individual moral autonomy, not giving in to the temptations of power, fame, public reputation, or wealth. Similar ideas were developed in European history. Evidently such ideal persons would be pacifists, but they are individuals, whereas wars concern whole nations and masses of people. So which role does, and can, the ideal individual actually play if it comes to the question of war? Is not there a vast difference between ideal individual character and behaviour on the one side, and an individual’s actual position and options (possibilities) with regard to war on the other? As to Chinese ethics and history: did the notion of junzi have any influence on concepts and occurrences of pacifism and war? And if so, in what respect? And how should we understand the junzi’s ideas about punishment and wars led in the name of humaneness?
In short, taking as starting point and focusing on the “Confucian” concept of junzi, I deal with what may be called “individual pacifism”—or more precisely, individual rejection or renunciation of war—and the impact such individual pacifism can and ought to have on decisions about war and peace. In so doing, I also speculate about combining a “rule of virtue” with a “rule of law”, thereby considering the role of individuals in 21st century wars. Finally, I utilize my results to propose a notion of pacifism that sharply contrasts with contemporary arguments in favour of wars, including those for uncompromising wars of defence.Tako imenovano konfucijanstvo (rujia 儒家) je razvilo pojem idealne osebe (osebnosti), junzi 君子, ki se izogiba reševanju problemov ali odpravljanju nesoglasij z uporabo sile. Namesto tega, v skladu z načeli sočlovečnosti (ren 仁) in pravičnosti (yi 義), uporablja utemeljene argumente in to počne na primeren način, brez izkazovanja večvrednosti. Poleg tega junzi visoko ceni človeško dostojanstvo (tianjue 天爵, dob. »plemenitost neba«), to je individualno moralno avtonomijo, in se ne podreja skušnjavam moči, slave, javnega ugleda ali bogastva. Podobne ideje so se razvile tudi v evropski zgodovini. Očitno bi bili takšni idealni ljudje pacifisti, vendar pa so to le posamezniki, medtem ko vojne zadevajo cele narode in večje množice ljudi. Kakšno vlogo torej dejansko igra in sploh lahko igra idealni posameznik, ko gre za vprašanje vojne? Ali ni med idealnim značajem in vedenjem posameznika na eni ter dejanskim položajem in možnostmi (izbire) posameznika v zvezi z vojno na drugi strani velika razlika? Kar zadeva kitajsko etiko in zgodovino: ali je pojem junzi vplival na pojmovanje ter pojavljanje pacifizma in vojne? Če da, v kakšnem smislu? In kako naj razumemo junzijeve ideje o kaznovanju ter vojnah, ki se dogajajo v imenu sočlovečnosti?
Na kratko, »konfucijanski« pojem junzi si jemljem za izhodišče in fokus ter skozenj obravnavam to, kar bi lahko imenovali »individualni pacifizem« – ali natančneje, individualno zavračanje vojne oziroma odpoved vojni – ter vpliv, ki ga tak individualni pacifizem lahko ima in bi ga moral imeti na odločitve o vojni in miru. Podajam tudi razmislek o združevanju »vladavine kreposti« z »vladavino prava« ter s tem o vlogi posameznikov v vojnah 21. stoletja. Nazadnje na podlagi svojih ugotovitev predlagam pojem pacifizma, ki je v ostrem nasprotju s sodobnimi argumenti v prid vojnam, vključno s tistimi, ki zagovarjajo nekompromisne obrambne vojne
Ali so roboti z umetno inteligenco ljudje? Raziskovanje konfucijanskega »razlikovanja med človekom in stvarjo« na podlagi klasičnega konfucijanskega načina poimenovanja »stvari«
No full textWhen Confucian theorists examine the object of artificial intelligence—the robot (or superintelligence)—their terminology, shaped by conventions of naming in Chinese characters, frames it as an anthropocentric entity by designating it as ji qi (machine) + ren (human), 機器人, rather than using the English term “robot.” In reflecting on human–robot ethics, they often employ the concept of the “distinction between humans and animals” (ren qin zhi bian 人禽之辨). The aim of this article is to clarify the classical Confucian framework for naming things that underlies the Chinese term ji qi ren, and to show that this designation does not imply that a robot is a human being, but rather that it resembles a human.
To avoid the cognitive bias embedded in the concept of ren qin zhi bian, which restricts discussion to “ethical evaluation” while neglecting the “ethical–descriptive” framework of classical Confucianism, this article analyzes how classical Confucians approached things in a pre-conceptual phase and how they classified and named different kinds of objects. In this way, it avoids the limitation of treating ji qi ren exclusively through the lens of human moral consciousness. Although Confucius addresses the naming of things from an anthropocentric perspective, his model of correct names incorporates both moral orientation and objective facts. By contrast, the treatments of the names of things by Zengzi, Mencius, and Xunzi are anthropocentric from the outset. Clarifying the classical Confucian framework for naming and classifying things according to their types and developmental processes can thus contribute to discussions of the distinction between human beings and things (ren wu zhi bian 人物之辨) and enable the development of diverse perspectives on the ethical and cooperative relationships between them.
在面對人工智能（甚至有可能是超智慧形式物）時，多數的儒家研究者是以「人」作為主詞的「智能機器『人』」之「名」來討論，並且由「人禽之辨」的義理來思考人與該物的倫理方式。但是，此種思考模式僅有「倫理判斷式」（對人）而已，忽略了古代儒家所兼有的「倫理描述式」（對物）脈絡，這將無法與時俱進地產生有效的論述。準此，本文先梳理出博物階段的古代儒者是如何面對客觀存在「物」，補齊對「物」的脈絡，以此避免僅以道德意識、道德能動性的角度來看人與「類人」的課題，即：不僅是以價值範導性來看「物」，同時也以客觀真實性來看「物」。雖然孔子對待物名時，是「以人為始」(human-based) 的綜合關係，所以兼有價值範導性（興觀群怨）與客觀真實性（鳥獸草木）的「正名」，但是，直到曾子、孟子和荀子時，已然是在「以人為主」(human-centred) 的宰治基礎上，而各自有「成人」與「成物」的論述偏向。通過釐清古代儒者對於「物」之類別名的概念架構來「類族辨物」，以此作為辨物基礎，再看「物」之類別名的前概念階段、概念秩序、概念從屬關係及其演變過程，然後從兩種論述偏向的儒者類型，即「成人」與「成物」視角來看「人物之辨」之下人與人工智能的關係，或可探索出不同視角的倫理思考方式。Ko konfucijanski teoretiki in teoretičarke preučujejo objekt umetne inteligence robota (ali superinteligenco), ga njihova terminologija, ki je pod vplivom konvencije o poimenovanju kitajskih pismenk, uokvirja v antropocentrično entiteto, saj ga označujejo kot »ji qi (stroj) + ren (človek) 機器人«, namesto da bi uporabili angleški izraz »robot«. Pri razmišljanju o etiki človeka in robota uporabljajo koncept »razlikovanja med človekom in zverjo (ren qin zhi bian 人禽之辨)«. Namen tega članka je pojasniti klasični konfucijanski okvir poimenovanja stvari, ki stoji za kitajskim izrazom »ji qi ren«, ter pokazati, da to poimenovanje ne nakazuje, da je robot človek, temveč da robot spominja na človeka. Da bi se izognili miselni pristranskosti, ki je prisotna v konceptu »ren qin zhi bian« in ki razpravo omejuje zgolj na »etično presojo« ter zanemarja »etični deskriptivni« okvir klasičnega konfucijanstva, si ta članek prizadeva analizirati, kako so se klasični konfucijanci v predpojmovni fazi ukvarjali s stvarmi ter kako so razvrščali in poimenovali različne vrste predmetov. Na ta način se izogne omejitvi, da bi »ji qi ren« obravnavali izključno skozi prizmo človeške moralne zavesti. Čeprav Konfucij obravnava imena stvari z antropocentrične perspektive, njegov model pravilnih imen vključuje tako moralno usmeritev kot tudi objektivna dejstva. Nasprotno pa je Zengzijeva, Mencijeva in Xunzijeva obravnava imen stvari že v izhodišču antropocentrična. Pojasnitev klasičnega konfucijanskega okvira poimenovanja in razvrščanja stvari glede na njihov tip ter razvojni proces nam zato lahko pomaga pri razpravi o razlikovanju med človeškimi bitji in stvarmi (ren wu zhi bian 人物之辨) ter omogoči razvoj različnih perspektiv glede etičnega in sodelovalnega razmerja med njimi
Učinek obravnavanja plodov višnje (Prunus cerasus L.) pred obiranjem s hitozanom in mešanico hitozana in salicilne kisline na njihovo kakovost
Full text linkThe effect of the pre-harvest treatment of sour cherry fruit with chitosan and salicylic acid on product quality as well as mass losses after storage is shown in the paper. The research was carried out with sour cherry cultivars ‘Alfa᾽ and ‘Pamiat Artemenko᾽ at the experimental pomology station named after L.P. Symyrenko of the institute of horticulture of NAAS. The pre-harvest treatment of sour cherry fruit with mixture of 1 %-chitosan with 100 mg l-1 of salicylic acid appeared to be efficient; this makes it possible to extend the storage period up to 30 days, to increase the output of marketable produce by 7.8–8.6 %, to have mass losses which do not exceed 3 %. The pre-storage treatment of sour cherry fruit with the solution of salicylic acid in combination with chitosan facilitates the decrease of the number of mesophylic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms by 5.2 times, that of yeast and mold – 6.3 times. Along with this, taste properties of the produce are maintained at the level of fresh fruit, also the product has an excellent tasting evaluation – 5 points.V prispevku je prikazan učinek tretiranja plodov višnje pred obiranjem s hitozanom in mešanico hitozana in salicilne kisline na njihovo kakovost in izgubo mase po spravilu. Raziskava je bila izvedena na sortah višnje ‘Alfa᾽ in ‘Pamiat Artemenko᾽ na poskusni postaji za sadjarstvo imenovani po L.P. Symyrenku, inštituta za hortikulturo NAAS. Obravnavanje plodov višnje pred obiranjem z mešanico 1 %-hitozana z 100 mg l-1 salicilne kisline se je izkazalo za učinkovito, kar je omogočilo čas shrambe do 30 dni in povečalo prodajno vrednost pridelka za 7,8–8,6 % ter zmanjšalo izgubo mase pod 3 %. Obravnavanje plodov višnje pred shrambo z raztopino salicilne kisline v kombinaciji s hitozanom je omogočilo zmanjšanje števila mezofilnih aerobnih in fakultativno anaerobnih mikroorganizmov za 5,2 krat, kvasovk in plesni za 6,3 krat. Hkrati so lastnosti okusa ostale na isti ravni kot pri svežih plodovih saj je bila ocean okusa odlična in je znašala 5 točk
