Effect of Plant Density and Biofertilization Treatment in Some Productivity and Quality Indicators of Two Peanut Varieties in Tartous, Syria
Full text linkThe research was carried out during the 2022 agricultural season at Zahid Water and Irrigation Research Station - Center for Scientific Agricultural Research in Tartous-Syria .The research aimed to study the effect of agricultural density (20 × 50 and 30 × 50 cm) and spraying with EM1 biofertilizer concentrations (0, 3 and 6 ml/L) in some productivity (number of pods/plants, 100 seed weight, and pod yield) and quality (protein and oil content (%)) indicators of two peanut varieties (Soori 2, Giza 6). The experiment was designed as a spilt-split plot design with three replications per treatment; where plant density the main plots, the biofertilization treatments the sub-plots, and the varieties the sub-sub-plots. The results showed that there was a significant effect (P<0.05) of plant density on all the studied traits. The plant density (30 × 50 cm) achieved the highest 100 seed wiegh (115.81 g), the number of pods (53.70 pod/plant), and the protein (27.16 %) and oil (43.58 %) contents, While the plant density (20 × 50 cm) achieved the highest pod yield per hectare(4285.37kg/ha). The results indicated a significant effect (P<0.05) of the biofertilization on all the studied traits; where the rate of 6 ml/L showed the highest number of pods (55.20 pods/plant), the 100seed weight (110.91 g), pod yield (4342.08 kg/ha) and the protein (27.85 %) and oil (44.91 %) contents. The Giza 6 variety was significantly superior (P<0.05) to Soori 2 in all the traits studied, the interaction between the biofertilization and plant density and variety had also a significant effect (P<0.05) on all studied traits
Enhancing Oracle Database Architecture: A Novel 4-Tier Approach for Performance and Scalability in Big Data Environments
Full text linkThe objective of the research is to demonstrate the power, performance, and scalability of Oracle even in the modern context. Oracle is still one of the most popular RDBMSs being used both by the corporate world as well as the researchers and academicians, although for entirely different objects and distinct purposes. Though many other database software are available in the market, there are a few most popular features which are simple to use, yet powerful, which makes this software highly desirable. For one, the software is scalable and its performance tuning features are such that this scalability is seamless without conspicuously degrading its performance. These features are further elaborated, explained and researched in this context. A new technique is also proposed in this research which adds a further dimension to the already acclaimed 3-tier architecture wherein the Oracle DB Server fits well. Oracle 4-tier architecture is discussed where its 4-tiers – the database, client, application, and load-balancing are elaborated. A limitation of Oracle Database is also discussed in terms of the high volume and ever-increasing variety and formats of data being generated as a result of social engineering phenomena. Thus, to overcome the limitations, the time is to adapt to the Big Data Technologies
Evaluating Public Awareness on Cryptocurrency Exploitation via the Dark Web in Different Indian States: A Survey Study
Full text linkThe evolution of the internet has given rise to hidden networks such as the deep web and the dark web, where most of the online content resides beyond the easily accessible surface web. Cryptocurrencies, notably Bitcoin and privacy-focused alternatives, are crucial for illicit transactions on the dark web due to their anonymity. Despite the growing use of cryptocurrencies on the dark web, research on public perceptions in India, especially across different age groups, is lacking. This research study aims public awareness and perceptions of cryptocurrency exploitation on the dark web in India. A structured questionnaire gathered insights into participants' views on this topic. Data collection by the means of purposive sampling, involved offline distribution in specific locations across six states (Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Manipur, Jammu & Kashmir, West Bengal, and Punjab) in India and online distribution via social media platforms. Quantitative analysis of 5000 responses revealed significant concerns about cryptocurrencies' dual nature, the need for regulation to combat cryptocurrency-related crimes, and the importance of monitoring the dark web for cyber threat intelligence. Recommendations included banning or restricting access to VPN services to deter illicit transactions. The study emphasized addressing cyber threats, including the dissemination of radical material and cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure, aligning with the Indian government's initiatives under Honorable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi's leadership to sustain India's digital environment for a better future
Dietary and Gender Variations in Palatal Rugae Morphology: A Comparative Study
Full text linkPalatal rugae, the complex and asymmetric ridges formed by connected tissues located behind the incisive papilla on the front section of the maxillary palate, have been subjects of numerous studies exploring their morphology and its variations with factors such as gender, age, and orthodontic treatments. According to the studies, the stability of palatal rugae remains a debated and investigated topic. This pilot study aims to investigate palatal rugae morphology in relation to dietary habits and gender in India. A comprehensive analysis was conducted using data from diverse regions of India, examining the intricate relationship between dietary habits, gender, and palatal rugae morphology. The study employed the elements of purposive sampling, to ensure representation from various geographic locations and populations encompassing 200 diagnostic study models evenly distributed between 100 male and 100 female samples. Utilizing established classification methods, the study rigorously assessed rugae morphology, considering factors such as length, shape, and direction. Statistical analysis was performed using unpaired t-tests in Microsoft Excel to examine the correlation between palatal rugae shapes, gender, and dietary habits. The findings revealed that neither gender nor dietary habits significantly influenced the total number or primary count of palatal rugae. Although slight variations were observed in rugae counts between dietary groups, the overall patterns remained consistent, challenging prior assumptions, and emphasizing the complexity of rugae development. While offering valuable insights, the study acknowledges limitations such as sample size and cross-sectional design, emphasizing the necessity for further research. Future studies, incorporating longitudinal studies and advanced imaging techniques, are recommended to gain a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying dietary influences on palatal rugae morphology

Site Suitability Evaluation for New Health Facilities Using Geospatial Technologies in Hadiya Zone, Ethiopia
Full text linkHealthcare facilities in developing countries are mostly located in urban and semi-urban areas. Ethiopia's health development has been significant, but the country still faces high morbidity and mortality rates, leading to a relatively poor health status. The study aimed to evaluate the accessibility of healthcare facilities in the Hadiya Zone using geospatial technologies. The road network, existing healthcare center, population data, slope, and land use land cover factors were used from different sources. The health services suitability evaluation was conducted by using geospatial techniques (Arc GIS 10.8 and Erdas Imagine 2014 software and analytic hierarchy process approach). The findings show that the relative accessibility reveals that from 0.0028 to 0.0154 values indicated very low access to health services. 0.79% of the study area was found as permanently unsuitable, while 41.68% of the study area was highly suitable and had potential for a new Healthcare facility site. The result reveals that spatial discrepancy exists in the case of access to healthcare facilities and the location of existing healthcare is largely clustered around the town's area. While there is poor planning of healthcare center distribution, the concerned body should identify the potential sites and allocation of new healthcare to reduce the spatial disparity of the health services

In this context, the plant Bauhinia forficata L. has aroused interest due to its potential hypoglycemic and antioxidant effects, making it a low-cost treatment option for regulating glycemic indices.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the potential of the Bauhinia forficata L. plant as a low-cost method for regulating glycemic indexes in people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, seeking to investigate the effectiveness, adverse effects and best way of administering this plant as a complement to conventional diabetes treatment.
Methodology: The study methodology consisted of an exploratory-descriptive bibliographic study with a qualitative approach. The bibliographic survey was carried out in databases such as LILACS, SciELO and PubMed, using inclusion and exclusion criteria to select relevant articles published between 2014 and 2024.
Results and Discussion: Bauhinia forficata L. emerges as a promising option to complement the treatment of type 2 DM, offering a low-cost and potentially effective alternative for regulating glycemic indexes. However, more studies are needed to confirm its long-term safety and effectiveness, as well as determine the best form of administration to maximize its therapeutic benefits.
Conclusion: The flavonoids kaempferol, kaempferitrin and quercetin, present in Bauhinia forficata L., demonstrate hypoglycemic activity. However, it is essential to consider the potential adverse effects of these compounds, such as mutagenicity and DNA damage, particularly at high doses. Although some studies show efficacy in reducing blood glucose levels
Morphological Characterization of Some Nisreen Roses (Rosa canina ) Types Scattered in Some Mountainous Areas in the Countryside of Jableh, Syria
Full text linkThe research was carried out in four sites in the mountains of Jableh area, which is affiliated with Latakia Governorate, Syria (Bchile, Halabkou, Bshraghi, and Manizala), with the aim of performing a Morphology description of some types of Rosa canina. Trees were taken from each site and each tree was considered a type, and 35 traits related to the vegetative total, flowers and fruits. Cluster analysis was used to determine the degree of kinship based on the characteristics of the vegetative group, the flowers and the fruits separately, and then all the characteristics combined. The study found a difference in the characteristics of the vegetative total, and the specifications of the fruits. There were no differences in the specifications of the studied flowers, whether between the types of the same site or between the sites. All the studied types had single flowers in light pink color, and the diameter of the flower was small and the shape of the flower chair was spherical. All the types studied had thorns on the branches that differed in their density and size, and the overall cluster analysis showed that the types within the same location were closest to each other compared to the rest of the sites, especially the types of the site of Bshraghi. We recommend taking care of this species and protecting it in its natural habitats, and creating gene pools for distinct types
