Abstract:2061 species of higher spore, gymnospermaceous and flowering plants belonging to 144 families and 764 genera have been established in the flora of the region. Herbariums based on a large number of collected plants were prepared and handed over to the Herbarium Found of the Institute of Botany of ANAS. 39 rare, endangered and 17 endemic plant species were identified. The stock of 40 species has decreased noticeably, 16 species are on the verge of extinction there, 5 species are under the threat of complete destruction and 17 species reduce their range in recent years. The composition and structure of the vegetation cover of the region under the influence of a complex of ecological, technogene, zoogenic and anthropogenic factors has changed greatly, where urgent measures for their improvement and protection are required for further use.
Abstract:This research aims to analyze the effects of profit-sharing financing, trade financing, and lease financing on the profit of sharia banks in Indonesia from 2010-2016. This research utilized Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) approach to analyze the data. The research findings present positive effects of profit-sharing financing and lease financing on the profits of sharia banks in Indonesia in the short term. On the other hand, trade financing has negative impacts on the profitability of sharia banks in Indonesia in the short term. For a long-term, there is a long-term relationship among the profit-sharing financing, trade financing, lease financing, and the profitability of sharia banks in Indonesia. In the eighth month, the variable of profit-sharing financing became a variable with the most significant contribution to the profitability of sharia banks in Indonesia among other variables. The research findings recommend sharia banks to manage their financing allocation by considering the economic development to improve socio-economic productivity in either a short term or long term.
Abstract:The susceptibility of the third larval instar of the Oryctes agamemnon to infection and subsequent death by exposure to three native entomopathogenic fungi (NEPF); Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Lecanicillium lecanii was determined. Three concentrations of each NEPF isolate were used for dose-response mortality against the 3rd larval instar. Mortality rates of the larvae reached 34.2, 48.1 and 55.5% at the concentrations (104, 106 and 108 conidia/ml) of B. bassiana. M. anisopliae recorded mortalities reached 39.5, 57.4 and 60.8% to the target larvae. Similarly, the accumulated mortality of the 3rd instar larvae recorded 17.4, 26.4 and 29.2% for L. lecanii. The LT50 values of the 3rd instar of O. agamemnon larvae recorded 9.9 and 11.3 days for the two concentrations that achieved 50% mortality for B. bassiana and M. anisopliae respectively. M. anisopliae was the most efficient one, followed by B. bassiana and L. lecanii. The proteolytic activity of the three NEPF was investigated under different factors (incubation periods, temperature and pH). The results showed that the maximum activity of protease produced by B. bassiana, L. lecanii and M. anisopliae was recorded after 6 days of incubation with 28�C incubation temperature in the medium initially adjusted to pH 6.

Abstract:Cloud Computing is an advanced technology for optimizing and innovating business models in organizations. It can be used for providing software and infrastructure services deployed in data centers. Encryption of data and information by data owners and uploading them to the cloud data center leads to different efficiency and secrecy problems. In cloud computing, a user who has authorized credentials should have the ability to access confidential data, such as data owners or cloud providers. In traditional methods of securing data, data are encrypted and stored in a trusted server and their access is controlled by an access control policy. If the cloud server is breached from unauthorized users, the confidentiality of sensitive data will be disclosed. This paper explores an enhanced cloud access control policies over encrypted data using XACML framework and proof of ownership (POW) methodologies. The proposed approach controls the access mechanism over encrypted data by generating a security token for sending responses and receiving user requests for decrypting data based on the previously stored attributes in the XACML policy. The security mechanism will be strengthened by deploying a fingerprint authentication parameter for ensuring confidentiality over untrusted user requests. By applying the cloud access control of XACML framework, the cloud services will perform its agreed functions with preventing data leakage, data loss, and abuse of cloud services.
Abstract:The article deals with the common translation problems and language confusion while teaching future interpreters from Ukrainian into English and vise versa in Ukrainian higher schools. The authors claim that higher educational establishments that train future translators form a deep knowledge of the main (technical or economic) specialty and professional competence of a professional translator, which allows future professionals to work effectively, quickly navigate in a dynamic environment, improve their professional level. High-quality professional training of translators requires constant updating, expansion and improvement of knowledge of foreign languages, and a certain field of activity, which puts before universities new tasks for the training of qualified personnel in the field of translation. The authors emphasize that there are some differences which exist in phonetics, vocabulary, grammar, spelling and punctuation and are difficult to be avoided even the non-professional English interpreter. It has been stated that the acquisition of a second language theoretically cannot be a process of mastering a new system of thinking, but it is only a matter of mastering a new code, which is projected on the code of the native language. In this situation, it is important to try to immerse yourself as deeply as possible in the English-speaking environment, creating artificial conditions in each lesson, to seek to organize conditions close to reality.
Abstract:The use of a Genetic Algorithm to minimize distribution losses in a feeder by optimizing the size and location of DG at an existing radial distribution system representing load with wind generation connected to the substation is presented in this article. Genetic Algorithm (GA) has a range of parameters that must be correctly calibrated in order to achieve accurate performance. This paper\'s work is an attempt to solve this connective problem. The practical radial distribution system is considered with voltage dependent load model.In this article, the optimal location and size of DG is obtained by varying different combinations of GA operators and keeping parameters like population, crossover fraction and generation at constant level. The optimal location and size obtained for minimum loss is executed to observe the effect on active and reactive power loss.The available generation is used in the first case, with the optimal position determined by Genetic Algorithm (GA) and in the second case both the optimal location and size are implemented. According to the test results, there is a 56.49 percent reduction in loss observed if Existing DG is connected at optimal Location as per GA and 91.47 percent reduction in lossobserved when Location and size of DG by GA as compare to Existing DG, respectively. The evolutionary algorithm GA re
Abstract:The present study underscores the investigation on prevalence of tick-borne pathogens of cattle both from hosts as well vectors from this part of India by conventional blood smear examination and through molecular techniques. A total of 1,153 cattle belonging to different age groups, breeds, sex were screened during the period from April, 2020 to March, 2021. Blood smear examination as well as PCR assay were followed to detect tick-borne pathogens in collected samples. The tick species recorded were Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum and Haemaphysalis leachi leachi .Overall prevalence of tick-borne pathogens was recorded as 33.30%. Mixed infection with Theileria sp. and Anaplasma sp. was found highest among infected cattle followed by single infection of Anaplasma sp. And Theileria sp. A few samples were only found to be positive for Babesia sp. infection. Significantly higher rate of infection was observed in the female animals. Species-specific PCR revealed different tick-borne pathogens species viz. Babesia bigemina, Theileria orientalis, Theileria annulata, Anaplasma marginale, Anaplasma central and Anaplasma bovis in cattle. Isolated DNA samples from blood and ticks were found positive for Coxiella burnetii and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato by PCR assay, albeit at very low percentage. The results clearly indicate that vector-borne haemoprotozoa and rickettsia are prevalent in the study area in apparently healthy animals without showing any obvious symptoms and R.(B.)microplus tick has an endosymbiotic relationship with C. burnetii and B. burgdorferi sensu lato.
Abstract:Recently, measurement of the optical characteristics of vegetation at specific wavelengths has been adopted for N status assessment in various crops. Optical sensing instrumentation can be used to calculate vegetative indices, which are indicators of a plant’s photosynthetic potential and above ground, living biomass. Development of NDVI for prediction of sugar beet yield and quality during the growing season would be of value to producers and industry. During the growing season, monitoring the status of the plant in sugar beet production system will enable farmers to improve nitrogen management. The main objective of this study was to determine in-season nitrogen status in sugar beet using the mobile optical sensor. For this, an experiment was established to determine the effect of nitrogen on root yield, sugar content and α-amino N content using a randomized block design by applying five different rates of nitrogen (0, 60, 90, 120, 150 kgN/ha) for two sugar beet varieties. The amount of 115.64 kg N/ha was determined as economic optimum nitrogen rate when quadratic polynomial model was used to describe the relationship between nitrogen and root yield, sugar content, and α-amino N content. The use of NDVI values were proposed 93 days after sowing at approximately 1486 CGDD.
Abstract:Bovine mastitis is a multifactorial disease that causes economic losses in the dairy industry on a global scale. In this study, the presence of Trueperella pyogenes and antibiotic resistance (ermX, ermB and tetW) and virulence factor were determined in 150 milk samples collected from cows of different breeds and ages with clinical mastitis in dairy farms located in ?zmir province and its districts (Bayindir, Beyda??, Kiraz, �demi?, Tire). It was aimed to detect genes (plo, nanH, nanP, cbpA, fimA, fimC, fimE and fimG). The 17 of T. pyogenes strains (11.3%) were isolated from a total of 150 samples by culture and biochemical tests from milk samples. 4 (23.5%) were evaluated as pure cultures, the other 13 (76.5%) isolates were obtained from mixed cultures. The virulence genes of plo, nanH, nanP and fimA were determined in all isolates. FimC, fimE, cbpA, fimG genes were detected in 13 (76.4%), 12 (70.5%), 12 (70.5%) and 11 (64.7%) isolates, respectively. Eight isolates had all 8 genes encoding virulence factors. In contrast, 2 isolates carried the fimA, plo, nanH and nanP genes. Macrolide resistance genes ermX and ermB were detected in 14 (82.3%) and 9 (52.9%) isolates, respectively. The tetracycline resistance gene tetW was not detected in all isolates. In the study, complete resistance was found for ampicillin, cefotaxime, and penicillin G (17/17; 100%), followed by kanamycin and tetracycline (9/17; 53%), respectively. Sensitivity was determined for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole with the highest rate of 53% (9/17). As a result, clear evidence was obtained that the virulence factors and antibiotic resistance of Trueperella pyogenes agents play a role in bovine mastitis and various other infections.
