Journal articles on the topic 'Cloche gardening'

Abstract “The French market gardens in the environs of Paris and other large cities are very curious-looking places.” Thus was the report in McCall's magazine in July of 1909 (1) in reference to the burgeon of bell glasses (cloches) used for winter and spring production of vegetables. Perhaps the gardening scenery around Paris was the fulfillment of the words of a classic English gardener, Mrs. Loudon, who in 1869 stated, “The cloche is quite unknown to the majority of amateurs, but nothing ever introduced to their notice will prove of greater or more varied utility” (4). By 1910, McKay (5) had placed the number of bell glasses in Paris at 2,160,000. Hence, the bell glass/cloche is the forerunner of the row cover/tunnel which is so prevalent in Europe and Japan today and which is becoming more popular in the United States.

The paper provides a theoretical overview of studies conducted within the framework of gardening-based learning. In nature, children can acquire a variety of skills and develop their environmental awareness in a space that represents a world of living examples. People are distancing from the nature, despite the fact that it can be a stimulating learning environment. It is necessary to return to the nature and design activities and programs where students will directly learn in the real world. The paper reviews the studies related to gardening-based learning within five domains: ecological, psychosocial, perceptual, the domain of school achievement and nutrition-health. Many researchers have created and implemented school garden programs and projects through which various positive effects have been achieved on cognitive, psychosocial, moral and physical development of children. Gardening-based learning programs result in increased awareness of proper nutrition and environment, higher learning outcomes and increase students' life skills. Experience gained in the garden encourages environmental literacy and management skills, improves awareness of the connection between plants and our clothes, food, lifestyle and sense of well-being.

The availability of world freshwater that can be used by humans is very small in number compared with many people's estimates, especially for those living in regions with abundant of water. Water conservation should be done according to Islamic advice, then considering other users' water needs, maintaining water quality, saving energy, and considering increasing water demand as per population growth. Prior to the scarcity and water damage, water conservation needs to be done in non-domestic and domestic / household levels. Household water conservation can be done through behavioural change and technological change. This study focuses on changes in household behavior in water conservation related to the role of women. A qualitative approach is applied in this study by conducting interviews with resource persons who play a significant role in environmental issues and some are housewives. The results show that household water conservation can be done in simple and easy ways, for example by monitoring water use by children, choosing water-saving ways of gardening, washing clothes at once, and so on. The role of women in household water conservation is significant because women are the main users of water and women can educate children early on. The government is expected to arrange strategies to promote water conservation on a household scale by educating and disseminating it to women's associations at the village level.Keywords :

Introduction. In the process of territorial expansion, Imperial Russia was seeking to implement internal policies, including that of Christianization. Christian missionary endeavors across Kazakh steppes were to involve not only Kazakh ethnic groups proper but also other populations to have emigrated from China in the 19th century. Goals. The study aims at exploring problems and consequences of Semirechye Kalmyks’ conversion to Orthodox Christianity after their arrival from China, revealing the role of missionaries in that Christianization campaign, determining key techniques and methods employed by the latter, identifying essentials and crucial events to have proved efficient thereto and based on the destruction of indigenous culture, traditions and lifestyle of ethnic groups who had been forced to stay away from their historical roots. Results. The paper analyzes archival sources to examine the history of how China’s emigrant Kalmyks acquired Russian citizenship and converted to Orthodox Christianity in the 1860s–1870s. In the aftermath of the Dungan Revolt, the refugee Kalmyks settled in Qapal, Sarkand, Koksu, Verny, Turgen and other areas of Semirechye. Fertile land plots were allotted for them to conveniently engage in agriculture, gardening and vegetable farming. Another goal was that they were thus to establish close relations with Russian peasants and learn the latter’s language, culture, and peculiarities of the newly adopted faith. Conclusions. The missionary activities and Kalmyks’ conversion to Orthodox Christianity resulted in acculturation characterized by that the newly baptized would often change their personal and family names and receive Russian Cossack peasant clothes in missionary shelters.

The study was undertaken to determine the key factors relevant to rural women enhancing food security which have great contribution to their family and community. A sample size of 80 women was drawn from Char Ishawrdia village of Mymensingh Sadar upazila. The findings showed that most of the respondents were economically active but not well educated. It was found that the yearly average income and expenditure of the households were Tk.66656.25 and Tk.67238.75 respectively. It was also found that yearly average income of the respondents was only Tk.7600.00. Rural women of the study area were involved in harvesting crops, crop production, livestock rearing, homestead forestry and gardening, post-harvest operation, cooking, cleaning house, washing clothes and caring children. It was found that women headed households’ food security is affected by some socioeconomic factors. In functional analysis, the Log Linear model was fitted best. Result shows that the household food security was significantly influenced by education of respondent, family size, household income, access to credit, and social participation. Women were found highly empowered in the study area and empowered women had great contribution to ensure the household food security. With the process of empowering women, women have a chance to increase their income, to participate in decision making process, to build up their health and nutritional knowledge, control over capital and participate in social and political activities through which they can easily ensure food security. Findings of the study suggest that government should provide different types of facilities to rural women which will help them to ensure households’ food security. Government should also take attempts to change the social attitudes towards the rural women. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbau.v12i1.21399 J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 12(1): 105-110, June 2014

Land use change occurs in many cities in Indonesia. Population growth causes the expansion of residential area. Without proper planning and design, the development of residential area can increase the runoff volume. The objective of this study is to provide an eco-drainage system design for real estate in Indonesia to minimize the possible increased runoff.The study area in this paper is a bare area of 14,602.26 m2 in Mojokerto Regency, East Java, Indonesia which is planned to be developed into real estate. The design of eco-drainage system consists of installation of 4400 litre of rainwater storage tank and a 1200 m3 of retention pond. The analysis includes the estimation of peak discharge of the selected area using the Rational formula and estimation of evapotranspiration in the retention pond using Thornthwaite method. The result of the analysis shows that 50.2 m2 of roof surface can capture rainwater varies from 0.04 – 18.4 m3/month. The water is used to fulfil the household water needs in the real estate such as for sanitation & waste disposal, gardening, personal washing, cleaning home, and washing clothes along the year except in August and September. While overflow of the tank occurs in January, February, and March. The excess rainfall, which is not captured, flows to the retention pond. It is used for watering public garden using a sprinkling water system. The combination of chosen dimension of storage tank and retention pond can reduce the runoff volume minimum by 48.19% in February in the study area.The proposed design still cannot accommodate all excess rainfall due to the transformation of a bare land into real estate. Therefore, it is recommended to consider another utilization of water in the retention pond.

Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence, set in Manhattan in the “early 1870s,” begins with Christine Nilsson singing at the Academy of Music. The opera is Gounod's Faust. The “world of fashion” has assembled in the boxes. In their own eyes the embodiment of “New York,” the fashionables are prisoners of convention: Newland Archer arrives late because “it was ‘not the thing’ to arrive early at the opera; and what was or was not ‘the thing’ played a part as important in Newland Archer's New York as the inscrutable totem terrors that had ruled the destinies of his forefathers thousands of years ago.” Newland takes his place among “all the carefully-brushed, white-waist coated, buttonhole-flowered gentlemen who succeeded each other in the club box, exchanged friendly greetings with him, and turned their opera glasses critically on the circle of ladies who were the product of the system.” That “the German text of French operas sung by Swedish artists should be translated into Italian for the clearer understanding of English-speaking audiences” seems “as natural to Newland Archer as all the other conventions on which his life was moulded: such as the duty of using two silver-baked brushes with his monogram in blue enamel to part his hair, and of never appearing in society without a flower (preferably a gardenia) in his buttonhole.” The box opposite belongs to “old Mrs. Manson Mingott, whose monstrous obesity had long since made it impossible for her to attend the Opera.” It contains a surprise: the Countess Olenska. This finding is assessed by Laurence Lefferts; the “foremost authority of ‘form’ in New York,” he has devoted long hours to such questions as when to wear a black tie with evening clothes and the matter of pumps versus Oxfords for the feet. The countess is next appraised by Sillerton Jackson, as great an expert on “family” as Leffert is on form.

Goal. To provide information about dangerous pests of vegetable crops — thrips. To describe the morphology and biology of the pest, the methods of spreading and harmfulness, provide information on the necessary phytosanitary measures to restrict its development and reduce the harmfulness, and to justify the need to use alternative biological methods to control the population of thrips in the conditions of the Southern steppe of Ukraine on an example of the most common of them — tobacco thrips (Thrips tabaci Lind.). Methods. Informational and analytical. The collection of information was carried out in accessible specialized literature and the Internet. Results. The information about sucking pests of vegetable crops - thrips is given. Thrips are known for a long time, they belong to wide polyphages, that is they harm a wide range of cultural and wild plants (from 100 to 400 spesies). On an example of the most common of them — tobacco thrips (Thrips tabaci Lind.) there is given information about the morphology and biology of the pest, the methods of its spreading and harmfulness, as well as the information on the necessary phytosanitary measures for restriction its development and reduction of the harm. This most widespread and dangerous polyphage, due to its close connection with plants, where its entire life cycle develops - from eggs to imago, has inhabited almost all greenhouses. In the natural conditions of the southern region of Ukraine, the tobacco thrips were found on large areas of vegetable crops with the seedling method of their cultivation, mainly cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, cabbage, watermelons, and the like. It harms bulbs in vegetable stores, which leads to a deterioration in the quality of garden plants and gardening material. The reaction of the plant to the damage by the trips is desensitization, which is manifested in growth retardation, distortion and loss of turgor of damaged leaves, which later become yellow and dries. Imago winter, mostly females, in greenhouses - in different slits, and in open ground - in the upper layer of soil at a depth of 7-10 cm, under plant remains or in the rootstock of perennials or weeds. At temperatures below 0 ° С and in the absence of snow cover, insects die. The pest spreads at all stages of development - eggs, larvae, imago - with planting material of vegetable crops (with plants or in soil), transport, containers, workers' tools, their clothes or footwear. This also occurs when collecting, packing and selling contaminated products. This is especially true for cabbage, with which the thrips can get to the greenhouse or indoor plants. In the conditions of the steppe and forest-steppe zones of Ukraine, the tobacco thrips can develop in open soil at temperatures over 10 ° C during the growing season from the second decade of May to the end of September, causing significant damage to vegetable crops. If this is the case, the pest can give 3-4 to 5-6 generations, depending on the weather conditions. In the population control of tobacco thrips, satisfactory results are received by systematic cultivation of plants with the following insecticides: Akketlik, Aktar, Phyitoverm, Karate Zeon, Confidor Maxi (with irrigation water) and others. It is obligatory to change preparations during the growing season. On the onion fields thrips is successfully reduced with insecticide of natural origin Spintor when using periodic spraying of plants. Because thrips are very resistant pests, therefore, in addition to insecticides, the use of predatory mites Amblyseius cucumeris, A. barken, A. derenerans, as well as predators of Orius laevigatus, O. magusaculus can be used to destroy them. Taking into account that nowadays the protection of vegetable crops takes the direction for the use of biological agents against pests - polyphages, special attention should be paid to the use of natural enemies of the tobacco thrips. Conclusions. In the natural conditions of the southern region of Ukraine, tobacco thrips were found on large areas of vegetable crops, therefore, there are all reasons for phytosanitary surveys of open-air vegetable crops to detect and eliminate this dangerous pest. Taking into account that nowadays the protection of vegetable crops takes the direction for the use of biological agents against pests - polyphages, special attention should be paid to the use of natural enemies of the tobacco thrips.

ABSTRACT:-Objective: A case study was conducted to evaluate the conservative management of a patient presenting with left sided wrist and thumb pain diagnosed as De Quervain’s tenosynovitis with Agnikarma. Clinical features A 40-year-old female with left-sided De Quervain’s tenosynovitis that began after a long periods of house hold activities like cooking, squeezing of clothes, mopping, gardening, cutting vegetables. Intervention and outcome Treatment included Agnikarma 3 sittings with a gap of one week. Patient was advised to rest, elevation and eccentric rehabilitation exercises. The positive outcome was a complete resolution of the patient’s complains

Background: Housewives are synonymous with household chores. These activities are carried out regularly, such as washing clothes, cooking, shopping, sweeping floors, washing dishes, cleaning the house. Housewives also carry out regular activities such as mopping, ironing, sweeping the yard, and gardening. Intensive activities and inappropriate positions performed by housewives have the potential to cause musculoskeletal complaints in the upper extremities such as pain or tingling sensation. Efforts that can be made to reduce these complaints are counseling on the application of the Joint Protection Technique (JPT). JPT aims to reduce pain and improve joint function through the use of an ergonomic approach such as changing movement patterns, modifying tasks and the environment. After participating in extension activities, it is hoped that housewives will be able to apply JPT in household activities without musculoskeletal complaints. Methods: Health education was carried out by distributing leaflets via the WhatApps group, lecturing on explaining images printed on leaflets and demonstrating the application of JPT in housekeeping activities. The counseling participants were housewives in RW 8, Kebakkalang, Kemiri Village, Kebakkramat District. The counseling activity took place at the house of one of the residents using equipment such as brooms, buckets of water, clothes, grocery bags, irons, and cooking utensils. Results: Counseling activities were carried out during March 2021 with 16 housewives as participants. Counseling activities still pay attention to health protocols, namely maintaining distance and wearing masks. Participants are able to demonstrate directly the application of the JPT principles in the activities of sweeping, washing clothes, shopping for vegetables, ironing, and cooking with real household context and equipment. Conclusion: Domestic work that is carried out by applying the JPT principle can be carried out without reducing the quality of the work, making the work stages simpler and not causing fatigue.

The aim of this paper is to discuss the writings by Krzysztof Kluk (1739–1796), a naturalist of the Enlightenment, the author of Dykcjonarz roślinny (Dictionary of plants) and guidebooks in the fi elds of botany, zoology, and mineralogy as lexical sources of Słownik języka polskiego (Dictionary of Polish) by S.B. Linde (LD). The paper presents an analysis of the material excerpted from Volumes 1 and 3 of LD, which has allowed the estimation that K. Kluk is discussed more frequently in the dictionary than J. Kochanowski, P. Kochanowski, J. Przybylski, and only slightly less frequently than M. Rej and W. Potocki. The material has been analysed also with the use of the method of semantic fi elds, which has enabled identifi cation of the thematic circles that allow the determination of the angle from which S.B. Linde excerpted vocabulary from K. Kluk’s writings. The lexis from Kluk’s works in LD is not limited only to names of plants, animals or minerals; it covers also parts of the body, animal husbandry (e.g. horses, birds, bee-keeping, fi shery), gardening, agriculture, animal diseases, metal and mineral working, transport, construction, home appliances, food, clothes, and social life.

Reid, Barbara. Welcome, Baby. Toronto: Scholastic Canada, 2013. Print.As with Reid's other books, the focus of Welcome Baby is the author's superb hand-sculpted plasticine illustrations. They are all bright, colourful and contain small charming details such as: framed family photos, the stubble on a new father's unshaven face, and a baby's missing sock and tiny bare foot. The story is addressed to a new baby and presents the joys of welcoming the new arrival into the family. There are images of babies snuggling with Moms and Dads, interacting with grandparents, playing with siblings and friends and enjoying the great outdoors in all four seasons.The characters are racially diverse and household scenes are very realistic. A father and baby nap in the couch amidst a sea of toys and clothes strewn about the living room carpet. The narrative features a simple rhyme scheme that would appeal to young children. There are usually only 5-7 words per page and it alternates between text and image. The colour of the textual pages alternates between yellow and blue to create interest without overwhelming the images on the opposite side. The meaning of the text corresponds well to the images and conveys playful metaphors. For example, in one image we see rain and clouds through a large window. In the foreground a baby flashes a joyful smile while holding her father's finger. He is wearing a sports jersey. The text reads: "You will be our sunshine, We'll be your biggest fans." This book is ideal for the nursery or preschool library. It would make a fantastic gift for parents-to-be and could also be read to a sibling before the birth to allow them to share in the excitement and anticipation.Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Kim FrailKim is a Public Services Librarian at the H.T.
