The present study was undertaken to ascertain the morphological responses of a groundnut cultivar K-134, under different water stress regimes characterized as control, mild, moderate and severe stress represented by 100, 75, 50 and 25% soil moisture levels respectively for eight days. Root length increased over control at mild, moderate stress treatments and inhibited at severe stress conditions on all days of sampling. Severe stress treatments had caused significant inhibition in shoot growth on day-4 and 8. The fresh and dry weights of roots and leaves and leaf area decreased over control in all stress treatments except under mild stress on day-4. The changes in theses parameters were dependent on stress severity and duration.

Abstract: Prisoners are individuals who have been convicted of crimes and were sentenced to prison so they lost their freedom. Lost of freedom can cause stress. Stress is the ability of a person to survive under pressure without causing disturbance. Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a manifestation in the oral cavity which is usually triggered by some predisposing factors such as stress. This study aimed to describe recurrent aphthous stomatitis and stress among prisoners in prison class IIB Bitung. This study was cross-sectional with total sampling method. All prisoners who had experienced recurrent aphtous stomatitis (RAS) while in prison class IIB Bitung. The results showed that among the 56 respondents there were 53 male respondents (94.64%) and 3 female respondents (5.36%); 19 (33.93%) got mild stress, 18 (32.14%) moderate stress, 16 (28.58%) severe stress, and 3 (5.35%) very severe stress.Keywords: prisoner, stress, recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS)Abstrak: Narapidana adalah individu yang telah terbukti melakukan tindak pidana dan kemudian oleh pengadilan dijatuhi hukuman atau pidana serta kehilangan kebebasan. Kehilangan kebebasan menimbulkan terjadinya stres pada narapidana. Stres merupakan kemampuan individu untuk bertahan dalam menghadapi berbagai tekanan tanpa mengakibatkan gangguan. Stomatitis aftosa rekuren (SAR) merupakan manifestasi yang timbul dalam rongga mulut yang biasanya dipicu oleh beberapa faktor predisposisi, salah satunya stres.

Pregnancy is a life process that women will experience after marriage. But not all women have the chance to get pregnant, it is very natural for many women who consider pregnancy to be an extraordinary period so that women focus on filling their pregnancy with activities that make the fetus grow healthy. Spikologis reactions such as stress in pregnant women caused a non-smooth process and the risks experienced by pregnant women, so not all women have a smooth pregnancy. This type of research uses quasy-experiment using one group pre-post test design test. Therapy is measured by the stress level of pregnant women for 15 minutes after Qs therapy. The beneficent. Murattal Audio Qs. Ar-Rahman and the DASS (Depression Anxiety Stress Scales) questionnaire. In this study, researchers used the sample technique in an incidental manner. The sample used as many as 56 pregnant women, consisting of 28 pregnant women who work as career women and 28 people who work as housewives After the Murattal therapy of Qs Ar-Rahman in 56 respondents there was a decrease in the stress level of pregnant women. 35 respondents of pregnant women experienced mild stress with a percentage of 62.5%, with moderate stress as many as 15 pregnant women with a percentage of 26.8%. While for severe stress 6 pregnant women with a percentage of 10.7%.

Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) are the world’s fourth-most important source of edible oil and the third-most valuable source of high-quality vegetable protein; they also contain carbohydrates, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals essential for good human nutrition. Peanuts area particularly valuable crop in tropical and subtropical regions. While the demand for peanuts is increasing globally, there is a significant gap in nitrogen supply and demand in peanut production systems. To alleviate this, nitrogen fertilizers are often applied indiscriminately; this practice leads to the deterioration of indigenous soil fertility and to a long-term decline in crop productivity. Considering these aspects of soil health, a field study was conducted over two consecutive winter (November–March) seasons in 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 at the research farm of the agricultural university Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya in West Bengal, India. This study examined supplementing different levels of nitrogen fertilizer with rhizobium and soil mulch in an irrigated peanut crop. The effects of these management interventions were evaluated in terms of crop productivity, nutrient dynamics, soil moisture, and the soil microbial activity. Peanuts grown with the 100% recommended dose of nitrogen, which was applied with rhizobium and grown under polythene mulching, recorded the highest average pod yield (3.87 and 3.96 t ha−1 in 2015–2016 and 2016–2017) and average kernel yield (2.88 and 2.99 t ha−1) in both growing seasons. This treatment also resulted in the greatest accumulation of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium by the peanut plants. In contrast, the maximum soil moisture distribution and the greatest total root zone moisture content were observed in the treatment with only rhizobium under the polythene mulch (i.e., no nitrogen was applied). The populations of soil bacteria and rhizobia were highest in the treatment where nitrogen fertilizer was applied to the crop at 75% of the recommended rate combined with rhizobium and under polythene mulch. After two cropping seasons, the peanut crop grown under polythene mulch with rhizobium and with nitrogen fertilizer applied at either the full recommended rate or 75% of this rate performed best in terms of crop productivity, soil nutrient dynamics, and soil moisture.

<p>Drought has become one of the major constraints on agricultural development, particularly in areas lacking water. By studying the effects of different water stresses on photosynthesis, growth, yield, water use efficiency (WUE) and other indicators of winter wheat, this study provides scientific irrigation strategies for developing water-saving agriculture. According to the size of the water field capacity, four different water stress levels were set, i.e., 30–40% water field capacity (severe stress), 40–50% (moderate stress), 50–60% (mild stress) and 60–80% (well-watered irrigation), through an automatic irrigation system to create different water stress gradients by controlling the irrigation amount. The results showed that the diurnal and seasonal changes in photosynthetic parameters such as net photosynthetic rate (Pn), intercellular carbon concentration (Ci), stomatal conductance (Gs), and transpiration (E) significantly decreased with water stress intensification. The Pn of mild stress only slightly decreased compared to that of well-watered irrigation and was even higher than after May 16th, resulting in an increase in the dry biomass and 1000-grain weight under mild stress. Under all water stresses, the heights and stem weights of the winter wheat significantly decreased. Moderate and severe stress also significantly reduced the fresh weight of the aboveground biomass, dry weight, spike weight, grain weight, WUE and irrigation water productivity (IWP), while mild stress only slightly decreased the fresh weight of aboveground biomass, spike weight and grain weight. Mild stress increased the WUE and IWP. Thus, mild stress results in the optimal use of water resources without a significant reduction in yield. Therefore, mild stress can be considered as a suitable environment for winter wheat growth in arid areas.</p>

White Spanish, Red Spanish and Virginia Bunch cultivars of Arachis hypogaea L. were sown at two row spacings (30 and 60 cm) and two times (29 October and 3 December) on an alkaline clay soil in western New South Wales. The crops were furrow irrigated between raised beds 1 m wide. Maximum oven dry pod yields were 3.0, 2.3 and 3.3 t ha-1 for white Spanish, Red Spanish and Virginia Bunch respectively. Corresponding shelling percentages were 65, 68 and 57%. White Spanish and Virginia Bunch matured 180-190 days after early sowing and Red Spanish after 210 days when frost stopped growth. The late sown crop failed to mature before the frosts, and yielded 15-25% less than the early sowing. The late crop had a shorter period for the production of pods and also a slightly lower rate of pod production because of reduced shoot growth; kernel weight per pod was similar at both sowings. Differences between cultivars were accounted for by differences in the rate of pod filling and hence ultimate kernel weight per pod, and furthermore, the harvest index differed among cultivars. White Spanish or Virginia Bunch sown in 30 cm rows before December can be recommended for irrigated groundnut production in western New South Wales.

Parents who have mentally retarded children will surely experience different challenges compared to those who have normal children. Parents whose children experience mental retardation usually get psychological pressure, resulting in stress and depression because parents feel lost hope for their children. The parents' emotional reactions immediately explode. The explosion of anger mixed with feelings of sadness, disappointment, frustration, pessimism, impatience, and shame. The purpose of this study was to determine the psychological description of parents of children with mental retardation in SLB Negeri 1 Bulukumba in 2018. The research method uses a descriptive design with a simple approach. The population in this study was 42 people. The research sample of 30 respondents. Data obtained through questionnaire sheets made by researchers to respondents. The results of this study showed that parents who experienced mild stress were 1 respondent (3.3%), moderate stress were 23 respondents (76.7%), while the level of severe stress was 6 respondents (20.0%). Then those with high coping are 27 respondents, and low coping is 3 respondents (10%). The conclusion from this study found that more parents experience moderate stress than mild and severe stress. Then, more parents have high coping than low coping.
