The repetition of a word or phrase in the poem expressed as reps. Repetition in a poem creates the aesthetic value of the poem. It is contained in a collection of poems Perempuan Wali Kota Suryatati A Manan. Through this study, the author examines the message delivered in a collection of poetry Women authors mayor expressed through repetition idiomatic meaning. Therefore, the assessment focused on the meaning of idiomatic repetition contained in a collection of poems Perempuan Wali Kota Suryatati A Manan. This is formulated problem is how the idiomatic meaning reps on a collection of poems Perempuan Wali Kota Suryatati A Manan.

The data collection was done by using the documentation. Data analysis was performed using the idiomatic meaning of the word at the role of repetition in the collection of poems Perempuan Wali Kota Suryatati A Manan works in construction. The results showed no repetition idiomatic meaning that the writer used to convey a message to the reader
MANAJEMEN MASJID DALAM MEMAKMURKAN MASJID ISLAMIC CENTER SYEKH ABDUL MANAN INDRAMAYU DI BIDANG IMARAH
No full textThe management of imarah which is applied by the mosque management in prospering the Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu Mosque is the center of attention and how the mosque management faces the opportunities and challenges that exist because it is an icon of Indramayu. The purpose of this research is to find out how the management system of the Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu Mosque in the field of emirates and to find out the opportunities and challenges in prospering the Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu Mosque. The research method uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this research indicate that the process of prospering mosques implemented by mosque administrators has met the requirements of existing mosque management knowledge, therefore the author can say that the Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu Mosque can be used as an example as well as a benchmark for mosques that others, especially those in the City of Indramayu, because the mosque management applied is almost close to perfection.
Manajemen imarah yang diterapkan oleh pengurus masjid dalam memakmurkan Masjid Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu menjadi pusat perhatian serta bagaimana pihak pengurus masjid dalam menghadapi peluang dan tantangan yang ada karena merupakan ikon Indramayu. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana sistem manajemen Masjid Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu di bidang imarah serta untuk mengetahui peluang dan tantangan dalam memakmurkan Masjid Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara dan doumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa proses dari memakmurkan masjid yang diterapkan oleh pengurus masjid sudah memenuhi syarat-syarat ilmu manajemen masjid yang telah ada, maka dari itu penulis dapat mengatakan bahwa Masjid Islamic Center Syekh Abdul Manan Indramayu dapat dijadikan contoh sekaligus patokan untuk masjid-masjid yang lain, khususnya yang ada di Kota Indramayu, dikarenakan manajemen masjid yang diterapkan hampir saja mendekati kesempurnaan
Sensor-based measurements of NDVI in small grain and corn fields by tractor, drone, and satellite platforms
No full textThis article was originally published in Crop and Environment. The version of record is available at: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.crope.2023.11.001. © 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of Huazhong Agricultural University.The use of sensors for variable rate nitrogen (VRN) applications is transitioning from equipment-based to drone and satellite technologies. However, regional algorithms, initially designed for proximal active sensors, require evaluation for compatibility with remotely sensed reflectance and N-rate predictions. This study observed normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data from six small grain and two corn fields over three years. We employed three platforms: tractor-mounted active sensors (T-NDVI), passive multispectral drone (D-NDVI), and satellite (S-NDVI) sensors. Averaged NDVI values were extracted from the as-applied equipment polygons. Correlations between NDVI values from the three platforms were positive and strong, with D-NDVI consistently recording the highest values, particularly in areas with lower plant biomass. This was attributed to D-NDVI's lower soil reflectance and its ability to measure the entire biomass within equipment polygons. For small grains, sensors spaced on equipment booms might not capture accurate biomass in poor-growing and low NDVI regions. Regarding VRN, S-NDVI and D-NDVI occasionally aligned with T-NDVI recommendations but often suggested half the active sensor rate. Final yields showed some correlation with landscape variables, irrespective of N application. This finding suggests the potential use of drone or satellite imagery to provide multiple NDVI maps before application, incorporating expected landscape responses and thereby enhancing VRN effectiveness.We would like to acknowledge our Maryland farmer cooperators and Shawn Tingle for his assistance in the field.

Sea lice population and sex differences in P-glycoprotein expression and emamectin benzoate resistance on salmon farms in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada.
No full textParasitic sea lice are a major challenge for salmon aquaculture. This is especially due to recent development of resistance to emamectin benzoate (EMB) in the parasite. We investigated 1) whether EMB treatment success in Grand Manan, Bay of Fundy, NB, can be explained through EMB bioassay and P-gp mRNA expression studies, 2) if other populations of sea lice not under EMB selective pressure possess similar EMB sensitivity as Grand Manan sea lice populations, and 3) heritability of EMB resistance in L. salmonis.
EMB bioassay results indicated population, species, sex, and temporal differences in EMB EC50 values. RT-qPCR analyses revealed population and sex differences in P-gp mRNA levels, correlating with the bioassay results. Laboratory-reared sea lice maintained their EMB sensitivity status up to the F3 generation. Caligus elongatus, collected from Grand Manan showed >2 fold lower EMB EC50 values compared with L. salmonis collected from the same site. Concurrent exposure to EMB and verapamil yielded no increase in C. elongatus sensitivity to the parasiticide.
Sea lice bioassay and P-gp mRNA studies can be used to track EMB resistance and sex differences in EMB sensitivity and P-gp mRNA levels exist in the parasite
A letter to the Right Hon. Earl Bathurst, Lord Goderich, and the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London : in refutation of some of the gross misstatements contained in the newspaper reports of their speeches in the House of Lords, on the motion of the Right Honourable Lord King, "for a committee to be appointed, to inquire into the expenditure of the public money, granted to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, in His Majesty's colonies of North America."
