Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate the regeneration status and importance of Hypahene thebaica L. and associated species in Tekeze riparian vegetation of the North western zone of Tigray, Northern Ethiopia.  Study Design: Systematic sampling technique. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out along Tekeze riverine vegetation, northern Ethiopia between January 2015 and March 2015. Methodology: Three transects (one and two transects on the right and left side of the Tekeze River, respectively) were laid. The distance between the two transects on the left side of the river was 200 m. Along the transects, 30 plots were established systematically at intervals of 100 m to collect vegetation data. Results:  Eighteen plant species belonging to 12 families were recorded. Fabaceae was found to be the dominant family in the study area and were represented by five species, which contributed to 27.7% of the total species documented, whereas nine families were represented by one species each. The overall density of the study area was 70.97 individuals/ha. Hyphaene thebaica was the second abundant species with 16.13 individuals/ha, and contributed 22.7% to the total density of the riparian vegetation. The total basal area of plants was 1.03 m2 ha-1. Hyphaene thebaica was ranked third and accounts for 12.6% of the total basal area with 0.13 m2 ha-1. The species was the most frequent with 17.02%, followed by Ricinus communis and Balanites aegyptiaca. Balanites aegyptiaca (53.52%), H. thebaica (52.37%) and Ricinus communis (51.76%) were the three most important species. Conclusion: More mature trees were documented than saplings and seedlings, indicating “poor’’ regeneration status for the riparian vegetation. Hyphaene thebaica has shown “fair’’, while most species were found to have “poorly’’ or “no’’ regenerating. Hence a sound management plan is urgently required to sustainably utilize and conserve the riverine vegetation.

Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of establishment techniques on yield and economics of red gram [Cajanus cajan (L.)] under irrigated condition at Regional Research Station, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Paiyur - 635 112,Tamil Nadu, India during Kharif season of 2013-14 and 2014-15 respectively in randomized block design with four replications. The treatments are line sowing/dibbling of seeds, sowing behind the country plough, sowing in polybag and transplanting at 25 and 40 DAS, sowing in portrays and transplanting in 25 and 40 DAS. The redgram variety LRG 41 was used for study. The results revealed that, dibbling of seeds in lines recorded higher grain yield of 2351 kg ha-1, net income of Rs.99495/- and B:C ratio of 3.39. Thus, dibbling of seeds in lines recorded 6% higher over sowing in poly bag and transplanting at 25 DAS and 27% higher yield over sowing behind the country plough. Considering yield and economics, line sowing seems to better option for the farmers followed by sowing in polybags and transplanted in 25 DAS. Under transplanted situation, transplanting of seedlings at 30 DAS was more suitable where the monsoon was delayed for 30 to 45 days under rainfed situation.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the amount of Islamic Education (PAI) teachers' efforts and roles, as well as how they should be involved in developing students' digital literacy. This is due to pupils' inadequate digital literacy, which manifests itself as an inability to process information gained via technology, information, and communication devices. In fact, digital literacy is one of the literacy foundations that are included in 21st-century skills. According to data issued by the Ministry of Communication and Information, Indonesia ranks second in cybercrime and the frequency of false information (hoax), making PAI teachers responsible for increasing digital literacy for students on both a moral and professional level. Interviews with various PAI teachers in Semarang are used in this study. The purpose of the interview was to evaluate how far PAI teachers had progressed in enhancing pupils' digital literacy. According to the findings of this study, PAI teachers' efforts are still minimal. The development of information technology as a method and a learning medium has not been optimized. As a result, enhancing digital literacy requires mutual awareness.�Keywords: Islamic Education Teacher, Digital Literacy, 21st Century Skills

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) is maked by variouspatterns of information acquisition with various types and media formats. The presenceof mobile communication devices, online media, online games, web technology, socialnetworking applications such as: facebook, WhatsApp, line and other social networkingthat makes users stay connected. This phenomenon becomes a challenge for informationmanagers (librarians) and information providers (Library) to make changes through theapplication of information technology both in the library management and library services.The Library of Lampung University has innovated digital technology in library servicesthrough Unila Library Mobile service. The purpose of this research is to: 1) describe UnilaLibrary Mobile service as digital technology innovation of The Library of Lampung University;2) explain the advantages and disadvantages of Unila Library Mobile service. Thisresearch uses qualitative descriptive method with data collection through observation andliterature study. Observations to visitors of the Library of Lampung University, especiallyvisitors of reference services in the collection search process and tracing information online.Library study through literature-literature related to the object of this research. The resultof this research is Unila Library Mobile service is the digital technology innovation of TheLibrary of Lampung University as an effort to improve the utilization of Library service. TheUnila Library Mobile service has the advantage of providing library services in a practical,easy and efficient manner in utilizing them, but has disadvantages as well: Unila LibraryMobile service can not be accessed if the server at the Lampung University is eror; powerlines off; if you want to access outside the Lampung University must have free wifi; and ifyou want to access with a smartphone must have a quota.
