Plant variety assessment of garden strawberry based on fruit strength

This article investigates the possibility of obtaining genotypes of garden strawberry with enhanced fruit strength. The creation of species and varieties with the specified feature is expected to improve the quality, transportability and storability of berries. Experiments were performed in 2015–2020 at the collection and breeding plots of the Kokinsky testing station of the Federal Horticultural Research Centre for Breeding, Agrotechnology and Nursery. 29 species of the domestic and foreign selection, 7 choice species, as well as the hybrid seedlings of 22 crossing combinations and 3 open pollination populations of garden strawberries, were investigated. The aim was to identify sources of increased trength and perspective crossing combinations, affording the highest yield of seedlings with firm fruits. The examination of the fruit strength was performed at the stage of optimal maturity. Berries crushing force was determined using a VR-04MS-2-BR balance by applying pressure to the fruits until the first drop of juice appears. The measurement results were converted into international units, i.e., Newtons (1 kg = 9.8 N). The phenotypic evaluation of varieties and species of garden strawberries based on the fruit strength revealed genotypes with the firmest fruits — Kleri, Darselect, Tenira, Selekta, Polka, Tzaritza, Aquarelle, Irma and the 3-366-9 selection. These varieties yield the fruits, which endure the crashing force of over 10 N. In the hybrid progeny, the fruit strength varied within a wide range, and its significant change within the crossing combinations and populations of open pollination was revealed. The Darselect, Cleri, Irma, Tzaritza varieties are the most valuable seed parents in the transmission of the high strength character. Within the research period, the best crossing combination yielding seedlings with fi m fruits were Alfa×Darselect, Festival Romashka×Darselect, Irma×Lyubava, 3-366-9×Kleri, Nashe Podmoskovye×Irma, Festival Romashka×Kleri and open pollination population of the Kleri, Darselect, Tzariza varieties. 42.2 to 60.3 % of hybrid seedlings yielded fruits with the crushing force of over 10 N, and an average value for the families amounted to 9.6–11.2 N.

URGENSI PENDIDIKAN AGAMA HINDU BAGI ANAK

<p><em>Education is an effort to realize the growth of the character of the child (inner strength, character, mind or intellect) and the child’s body to refer to the child’s life in harmony with his world. But in the present era that is full of things that degrade the side of humanism. Education should give birth to the children who have good character, just the contrary gave birth to people who behave badly. Psychological touch is rarely found in education today. It is rooted in the application of education in which there are models and processes without touching the side of humanism itself, so the application of education is only a mere formality. Consequently, children were born intelligently good but spiritually less. Many children are smart, but few have good character. This is where the importance of religious education as a role synergized.</em></p>

The Form and Meaning of Gong Timor on the Ritual Ceremony of Tfua Ton in Napan.This paper aims to understand the rhythmic musical form of Gong Timor in the Tfua Ton ritual based on the rhythm elements contained in it and to understand more deeply the symbolic meaning of Gong Timor in the Tfua Ton ritual. The research method uses descriptive qualitative research design with phenomenology. Research data were collected using observation, interview and document study techniques. The data analysis technique was done through the process of reduction, presentation, and concluding. The results of this study indicate that the Gong Timor music form consists of several elements of rhythm, namely beats, accents and rhythm patterns. The symbolic meaning contained in the Gong Timor in the Tfua Ton ritual ceremony is as a symbol of communication, strength, character, and identity of the people of Napan Village. The symbol is interpreted by the struggle of the community in fighting for lives and economic needs. In the ritual, Gong Timor is interpreted as a liaison among the community and the ancestors, and nature that inhabit the place. The Gong Timor has a symbolic meaning that can only be understood by the local community. Gong Timor in the Tfua Ton ritual ceremony has become an inseparable unit.Keywords: timor gong; tfua ton; symbolic meaning

Research on Nonlinear Vibration and Bend Strength Character of WN Gear Pairs in Meshing

In order to explore the dynamics performance of WN (Wildhaber-Novikov) gear transmission, according to the WN gear meshing transmission principle and the forced vibration theory with multi-mass and multi-degree of freedom, the nonlinear two degree of freedom forced vibration analysis model of WN gear pairs load meshing was established. Using vibration analysis and experiment, the meshing vibration behavior and tooth root bend strength of WN Gear were synthetically researched. The example calculation and the solution of the motion differential equations were completed by using numerical analysis method. The application foundation is improved for the dynamics design of WN gear transmission.

Synergetic Performance of Retention Aids on Reconstituted Tobacco by Papermaking Process

In this work, the effects of four kinds of additives including polyethyleneimine, carboxymethylcellulose, guar gum, and chitosan on the retention performance of reconstituted tobacco pulp and strength character of final base sheet were discussed. The results showed that the filler retention efficiency and first pass retention efficiency increased by 17.7% and by 5.8% at chitosan dosage of 0.2%, respectively. Moreover, the tensile index showed a distinct increase in chitosan retention system. The largest strength index was found to be in carboxymethylcellulose retention system, the tensile index was increased from 6.5 N•m/g to 8.67 N•m/g, and the wet tensile index was increased from 0.37 N•m/g to 0.51 N•m/g.
