Abstract Abstracts. Kencur has been traditionally used as a medical plant for a long time. The potential content of kencur rhizomes as a medical plant lead to the idea of conducting a study that aims to determine the yield and antioxidant content of rhizomes cultivated in the shade and the effect of potassium fertilizer application. The research was conducted in two stages. The first stage was kencur cultivation in the AgroTechno-Park UB in Jatikerto from November 2020 to June 2021 designed according to the Split-split plot design (3 factor treatments). The main factor was the shade, sub plots were accession of kencur, and t doses of potassium fertilizer. The second stage was conducted in the Plant Physiology Laboratory to analyze the antioxidant content after the field experiment. The results showed that there was increased antioxidant activity in kencur rhizomes due to the use of potassium fertilizer and shade. The 25% shade produced higher antioxidants than 50% shade in both Lumajang and Nganjuk’s accessions.

Chống đổ ngã và tăng số lượng chồi cho cây lúa là cách mà nông dân sử dụng Paclobutrazol (PBZ) lâu nay. Đề tài được thực hiện với các mục tiêu: (i) điều tra sử dụng PBZ của nông dân trên cây lúa, (ii) đánh giá mức độ tồn dư PBZ trong đất (iii) đánh giá hấp thụ PBZ từ đất vào trong cây lúa.Thí nghiệm được bố trí theo phương pháp khối hoàn toàn ngẫu nhiên gồm bốn nghiệm thức (T1: Đối chứng: 0 kg PBZ  ha-1, T2: 1,0 kg PBZ  ha-1, T3: 1,5 kg PBZ ha-1, T4: 3,0 kg PBZ ha-1) với bốn lần lặp lại. Kết quả điều tra nông dân đã sử dụng PBZ, kết hợp với phân bón để bón vào hai giai đoạn lúa 20 đến 25 ngày sau sạ (NSS) và 40 đến 45 NSS, với liều lượng trung bình 1,55 kg ha-1. Xử lý PBZ ở nghiệm thức T2 và T3 giúp giảm chiều cao cây lúa, tăng số chồi trên đơn vị diện tích nhưng không làm tăng năng suất lúa. Các nghiệm thức xử lý đều để lại tồn lưu PBZ trên thân (T1: 60 µg, T2: 2.220 µg, T3: 1.090 µg, T4: 34 µg) và trên hạt lúa (T1: 104 µg, T2: 550 µg, T3: 110 µg, T4: 0 µg) và trong đất sau thí nghiệm (T1: 16,3 µg, T2: 24,0 µg, T3: 9,90 µg, T4: 6,60 µg). ABSTRACT Lodging resistance and increasing the quantity of tillers for rice are that Paclobutrazol (PBZ) has been used by farmers for a long time. The study was conducted to aim at: (i) investigating farmers' habits of using Paclobutrazole on rice, (2) evaluating PBZ residues in soil and (3) evaluating PBZ absorption ability from soil into rice. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four treatments (T1: 1,5 kg PBZ / ha, T2: 3,0 kg PBZ/ ha, T3: 1,0 kg PBZ /ha, T4: 0 kg PBZ /ha) and four replications. The investigated results of farmers showed that PBZ has been used for a long time, PBZ was used by farmers in combination with fertilizer application into two stages of 20 to 25 days after seeding (DAS) and 40 to 45 DAS (63,3 %), an average dosage was 1,55kg/ ha. The results showed that T2 and T3 treatments were effective to reduce the height of rice plants, increase the number of shoots per unit area but did not increase rice yield. PBZ treatments  had residue in leaf stalks (T1: 60 µg, T2: 2.220 µg, T3: 1.090 µg, T4: 34 µg), rice seeds (T1: 104 µg, T2: 550 µg, T3: 110 µg, T4: 0 µg), and soil after harvesting rice (T1: 16,3 µg, T2: 24,0 µg, T3: 9,90 µg, T4: 6,60 µg).

B-lymphocytes normally synthesize small amounts of immunoglobulin, some of which is incorporated into the cell membrane where it serves as receptor of antigen. These cells, on contact with specific antigen, proliferate and differentiate to plasma cells which synthesize and secrete large quantities of immunoglobulin. The two stages of differentiation of this cell line (generation of B-lymphocytes and antigen-driven maturation to plasma cells) are clearly separable during ontogeny and in some immune deficiency diseases. The present report describes morphologic aberrations of B-lymphocytes in two diseases in which second stage differentiation is defective.

Ch Selection

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) the energy of Sensor nodes is not certainly sufficient. In order to optimize the endurance of WSN, it is essential to minimize the utilization of energy. Head of group or Cluster Head (CH) is an eminent method to develop the endurance of WSN that aggregates the WSN with higher energy. CH for intra-cluster and inter-cluster communication becomes dependent. For complete, in WSN, the Energy level of CH extends its life of cluster. While evolving cluster algorithms, the complicated job is to identify the energy utilization amount of heterogeneous WSNs. Based on Chaotic Firefly Algorithm CH (CFACH) selection, the formulated work is named “Novel Distributed Entropy Energy-Efficient Clustering Algorithm”, in short, DEEEC for HWSNs. The formulated DEEEC Algorithm, which is a CH, has two main stages. In the first stage, the identification of temporary CHs along with its entropy value is found using the correlative measure of residual and original energy. Along with this, in the clustering algorithm, the rotating epoch and its entropy value must be predicted automatically by its sensor nodes. In the second stage, if any member in the cluster having larger residual energy, shall modify the temporary CHs in the direction of the deciding set. The target of the nodes with large energy has the probability to be CHs which is determined by the above two stages meant for CH selection. The MATLAB is required to simulate the DEEEC Algorithm. The simulated results of the formulated DEEEC Algorithm produce good results with respect to the energy and increased lifetime when it is correlated with the current traditional clustering protocols being used in the Heterogeneous WSNs.

Abstract The Author endeavored to consult some of the Polish experts who deal with assessing and preventing outburst hazards as to their knowledge and experience. On the basis of this knowledge, an expert system, based on fuzzy logic, was created. The system allows automatic assessment of outburst hazard. The work was completed in two stages. The first stage involved researching relevant sources and rules concerning outburst hazard, and, subsequently, determining a number of parameters measured or observed in the mining industry that are potentially connected with the outburst phenomenon and can be useful when estimating outburst hazard. Then, the Author contacted selected experts who are actively involved in preventing outburst hazard, both in the industry and science field. The experts were anonymously surveyed, which made it possible to select the parameters which are the most essential in assessing outburst hazard. The second stage involved gaining knowledge from the experts by means of a questionnaire-interview. Subjective opinions on estimating outburst hazard on the basis of the parameters selected during the first stage were then systematized using the structures typical of the expert system based on fuzzy logic.

The article presents a methodology for a comprehensive assessment of the environmental situation in Russian Federation regions based on the pollution index and the index of the ecological tension. The evaluation was carried out in two stages. At the first stage, the degree of pollution of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere of the regions was estimated on the basis of the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere, departing from stationary sources, the formation of solid domestic wastes (SDW) and the discharge of contaminated wastewater. Based on these three indicators, a pollution index was constructed that estimates aggregate pollution level. In the second stage, the authors made the estimation of loads generated by atmospheric emissions, solid waste and waste water discharged into the territory of each region, per capita and in relation to the environmental capacity of the economy. This allows us to take into account the area of pollution, anthropogenic pressure and environmental responsibility of the population, as well as the environmental friendliness of production. On the basis of relative indicators, the index of ecological tension was created.

Knowledge Hiding

This study aimed to understand the psychological process behind employees’ knowledge hiding (KH) behaviors in organizations. KH is an intentional act of concealing knowledge when it is requested by a colleague and can lead to counterproductive consequences for the organization. Therefore, this study synthesized previous studies (n = 88) on KH through a systematic literature review. We used the cognitive–motivational–relational (CMR) theory of emotion to create a framework for the studies’ findings. Based on the framework, the psychological process behind KH has two stages—personal goal generation and the knowledge-request event appraisal process, each of which contains its own CMR process. In the first stage, an individual’s internal and external attributes related to the organization shape their personal goals. In the second stage, an individual appraises the features of a knowledge-request event in terms of both their personal goal and the internal and external attributes that created the goal. If the knowledge request is appraised as harmful for the personal goal, emotion arises and leads to the manifestation of KH. This study contributes to the knowledge management literature as, to our knowledge, it is the first to propose a CMR theory-based framework to understand the overall psychological process behind KH.

The aim of this article is to offer a new approach of perception regarding the position of a distant object. It is also a tribute to John Stewart who accompanied the first stages of this research. Having already examined the difficulties surrounding questions of the perception of exteriority within the framework of enactive approaches, we will proceed in two stages. The first stage will consist of an attempt to explain distal perception in terms of individual sensorimotor invariants. This poses the problem but fails to solve it. The second stage will propose a new pathway to account for spatial perception; a pathway that does not deny the initial intuitions of the autopoietic enactive approaches, but one which radically changes the conception of cognition by considering, from the perceptual stage, the need to take into account interindividual interactions. The protocol of an original experimental study will characterize this new approach considering the perceptual experience of objects at a distance, in exteriority, in a space of possibilities without parting from the domain of interaction. To do this, we have to work at the limits of the perceptual crossing, that is, at the moment when the perceptual reciprocity between different subjects begins to disappear.
