Abstract:

Generation mean analysis is a key determinant in designing the appropriate breeding approaches for implementing new desirable character/s in crop varieties and also in studying inheritance of quantitative traits. Parents, F1, F2 and backcrosses exhibited significant digenic interactions in the majority of cross combinations in tomato. Cross combinations and characters indicated the adequacy of simple additive dominance for 50% flowering (CO3 х Floradade, Pant T3 х Azad T5), branches/plant and plant height (CO3 х Floradade, Pant T3 х Kashi Sharad), and fruit/cluster (CO3 х Floradade) indicating absence of non-allelic interactions. Duplicate type of epistasis occurred for 50% flowering (CO3 х Floradade, Kashi Amrit х Kashi Sharad), branches/plant (CO3 х Floradade, Kashi Amrit х Kashi Sharad, Pant T3 х Kashi Sharad), plant height (CO3 х Floradade, Pant T3 х Kashi Sharad), fruit/plant (CO3 х Floradade, Pant T3 х Azad T5, Kashi Amrit х Kashi Sharad, Pant T3 х Kashi Sharad), fruit weight (CO3 х Floradade, Pant T3 х Azad T5), fruit/cluster (Kashi Amrit х Kashi Sharad, Pant T3 х Kashi Sharad), yield/plant (CO3 х Floradade, Punjab Upma х Azad T5, Pant T3 х Kashi Sharad) indicating selection strength should be lenient in the earlier and rapid in later generations because advancement should be through selection. Characters governed by additive components were predominant in fruit/plant and plant height, indicating direct selection for improvement of these traits. Bangladesh J.

Abstract:

The political, socio-economic and cultural development of Kashi was never blocked. The history of technological development in Kashi state has been very flourished. The present study is an attempt to present historical and analytical studies regarding bone technology and its characteristics used in the region of ancient Kashi. The contribution of bone technology in the wisdom of Kashi and the development of a socio-economic perspective has also been discussed. Various bone tools obtained from Kashi’s archaeological sites and excavations reports have been studied. Archaeological and literary sources revealed that ancient Kashi was very developed in technology. The sources candidly depicted the prosperous societal life of its inhabitants in the backdrop of rich culture. Bone objects remains constitute an essential theme to study the integrated ecological aspect of human life.

Abstract:

Albeit we know that death is inescapable, we try to avoid it as long as we can so that we can enjoy the immediate and worldly pleasures. Conspicuously, the negative facet of death has always been emphasized. This study represents the positive aspect of death and, simultaneously, the importance of death for human existence. Interestingly, many scholars have discussed that a human being can never imagine his death, though he knows that he has to die. When we talk about death in relation to Kashi, we find most of the positive aspects of death and dying in Kashi. Though most of the Hindu religious texts have delineated the greatness of Kashi as one of the sacred places of pilgrimage, this study endeavors to show that not all people who die in Kashi will achieve moksha. It is interesting to note that for many Indian people, death is a matter of joy in Kashi. This study explores, though not restricted to, the question of death and dying in India in general and in Kashi in particular.

Abstract:

Response of morphological and biochemical traits against okra shoot and fruit borer in different okra varieties were studied. Among the fifteen okra varieties under test Kashi Satdhari was the most superior variety as it showed lowest (2.60) per cent shoot damage followed by D-1-87-5 (3.62%) and Pusa A-4 (4.24%). On the contrary, in Pusa Sawani highest level of shoot infestation (16.23%) followed by SB-2 (13.74%) as against Kashi Pragati (check) 10.08 per cent were recorded. Further, okra variety Kashi Satdhari (7.87%) showed lowest fruit infestation and was considered as least susceptible variety which was at par with NO-136 (8.77%), D-1-87-5 (9.12%) and Kashi Leela (9.38%). Amongst all the okra varieties evaluated for their susceptibility to fruit infestation, Pusa Sawani and VRO-03 showed relatively higher fruit infestation i.e. 35.17 and 33.41 per cent, respectively and registered as the most inferior varieties against (26.12%) Kashi Pragati (check). The correlation study between fruit infestation and morphological factors implied that primary branching and trichome length adversely affect the borer infestation. Further, phenol and phosphorus availability in host plant also showed negative effect on shoot and fruit borer infestation. Bangladesh J. Bot. 50(4): 1059-1066, 2021 (December)

Abstract:

The phytochemical content of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) genotypes varied in accordance of type of compound and genotype. Out of 20 genotypes, only three genotypes (Kashi Lalima, Kashi Kranti and VROB-178) showed significantly higher amount of phytochemicals (ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll, anthocyanin, total carotenoids, total phenolics and total antioxidants activity). Among these genotypes Kashi Lalima showed highest ascorbic acid (19.63 mg/100 g) and anthocyanin content (0.14 mg/100 g) while highest chlorophyll content (5.75 mg/100 g) and total carotenoids content (1.71 mg/100 g) were recorded in Kashi Kranti. The amount of total anthocyanin and phenol compound varied from 0.08 to 0.14 mg/100 g of fresh weight (FW) and 38.88 to 62.82 (mg catechol equivalent/100 g fresh weight), respectively. The total moisture content and total crude fiber content also showed a significant difference within the range of 80.14 to 93.16% and 1.30 to 4.40 % of fresh weight, respectively. The highest total phenolics and moisture content was observed in genotype VROB-178, while highest crude fiber percentage was represented by Kashi Satdhari. Hence, selected okra genotypes containing good amount of phytochemicals, which can be further used for nutritional quality improvement of okra in future breeding programs.

Abstract:

Hydrochemistry is a critical indicator of water quality. We analysed 146 hydrochemical parameters of groundwater and the hydrogeological background of the Kashi region in China, examined their spatial distributions, and elucidated the mechanisms of their occurrence. We used graphical and multivariate statistical methods to distinguish between high- and poor-quality water. In the Kizil-Cakmak River Basin of the northern Kashi region, the primary cations were Ca2+ and Mg2+, and the primary anion was SO42−; their concentrations were four times higher than the Class III water quality standard. Additionally, the salinity was high. In contrast, in the upstream and midstream parts of the Gez-Kushan River Basin in the southern Kashi region, the primary ions were HCO3− and SO42−, and the salinity was low. Downstream of the Gez-Kushan River Basin, the primary ion was Cl−, and the salinity was low. There was a wide-ranging spatial variability in the SO42−, Cl−, and Ca2+ contents throughout the study area. The present findings can be applied to locate suitable domestic, agricultural, and industrial water sources in the Kashi region and can provide theoretical guidance for the scientific development and management of groundwater in this region.

Abstract:

Advances in proteome research have opened the gateway to understanding numerous metabolic pathways and fundamental mechanisms involved in abiotic stress tolerance. In the present study, the antioxidant capacity of four tomato genotypes i.e., Kashi Amrit, Kashi Anupam, EC-317-6-1, and WIR-4360 was determined under drought stress to ascertain the scavenging potential for reactive oxygen species (ROS). A significant increase in the superoxide dismutase (SOD), Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and catalase (CAT) activities in all the four genotypes under drought stress was observed, which seemed to be associated with a protective role against ROS (p < 0.001). Based on the antioxidant enzyme activities, a proteomic approach was applied to study differential protein expression in two selected genotypes from different species i.e., EC-317-6-1 (Solanum pimpinellifolium) and Kashi Amrit (Solanum lycopersicum) grown under irrigated, drought, and re-watering conditions. To reveal the protein network regulated under these conditions, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was employed to identify and quantify the number of proteins in drought-sensitive (Kashi Amrit) and tolerant (EC-317-6-1) genotypes. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight analysis (MALDI-TOF) revealed a total of 453 spots after fine-tuning factors i.e., smoothness, saliency, and minimum area that responded to drought. Out of 453 total spots, 93 spots were identified in Kashi Amrit and 154 in EC-317-6-1 under irrigated conditions, whereas 4 spots were identified in Kashi Amrit and 77 spots in EC-317-6-1 under drought conditions. Furthermore, differentially expressed proteins were distinguished according to the fold change of their expression. Information provided in this report will be useful for the selection of proteins or genes in analyzing or improving drought tolerance in tomato cultivars. These findings may assist in the construction of a complete proteome database encompassing various divergent species which could be a valuable source for the improvement of crops under drought-stress conditions in the future.

Abstract:

No século XV, Ulugh Beg (1394-1449), neto de Tamerlão (Timur), cria, em Samarcanda, um enorme observatório astronômico e, juntamente com ele, um centro de estudos surge e garante, por alguns anos, a atividade científica na capital do Califado Abássida. Ghiyath al-Din Jamshid Mas'ud al-Kashi, astrônomo e matemático, foi o primeiro diretor desse centro, sendo seu sucessor o também astrônomo e matemático Kazi-Zade ar-Runi. Nossa intenção é, portanto, apresentar à comunidade acadêmica um período da história que ainda carece de publicações acadêmicas: a matemática islâmica medieval. Quiçá despertar o interesse pela pesquisa nesta área. Por se tratar de um período longo, nossos esforços se concentram na Madraça de Samarcanda e seus ilustres estudiosos aqui já mencionados. Pretendemos com este artigo apresentar um pouco das atividades desenvolvidas no centro de estudos de Samarcanda, além de estabelecer a relação entre os astrônomos supracitados. Para isso, tomamos por base as duas cartas de al-Kashi endereçadas a seu pai que chegaram a nosso tempo. Kennedy (1960) e Saili (1960) publicaram e traduziram (o primeiro em inglês e o segundo em turco), de maneira independente, a primeira carta que foi achada; a segunda carta recentemente descoberta no Irã foi publicada e traduzida para o Inglês por Bagheri (1997). É importante destacar que nosso trabalho faz parte de um projeto maior (o estudo da matemática medieval), que está em desenvolvimento e que, por este motivo, os resultados aqui expostos são parciais. Uma conclusão imediata que foi obtida com esses estudos é a de que o período das trevas – como comumente é conhecida a Idade Média, nos levando a pensar em uma época de não produção de saberes, isto é, séculos de estagnação científica – foi uma época de grandes realizações nas mais diversas áreas da cultura e dos saberes científicos, além da grande expansão territórial do império islã, que garantiu a preservação dos saberes antigos e sua disseminação (a posteriori) por meio de suas traduções.

Abstract:

Kashi tiles are the traditional ceramic tiles of Pakistan. They have been produced in Pakistan (previously India) for centuries now; they were brought to India by Persian potters of city Kashan. This paper is in effort to remedy the regrettable absence of documentation of Kashi tiles in the heritage of Muslim enamel tiles. The purpose was to investigate the connection between Persian and Kashi tiles and analyze their similarities and differences. The hypothesis is investigated by literature review of different books and research papers and by interviewing Kashikar of Pakistan about their practices and they were studied and compared. The results and conclusions of this study are the ceramists have very limited knowledge and have refused to accept any new idea due to their loyalty to the craft. They believed in keeping the original recipe intact and have firmly refused to experiment and explore. These tiles were never exactly same to Seljuk blue and white tiles; and the forefathers of these ceramists had obviously studied their environment and experimented with local raw materials. However it is clear from the close remembrance in Design and color palate of these crafts that the original migrated potters were definitely recreating the blue and white craft of Persia, that was imitation of Chinese porcelain

Abstract:

An intraspecific hybridization programme among Cucumis species involving eight genetically diverse parents of C. melo L. varietal group viz., IC-0599709, Punjab Sunehri, Pusa Madhuras, Kashi Madhu (C. melo L.), AHK-119 (C. melo var. callosus), AHLM-2 (C. melo var. utilissimus), AHS-82 (C. melo var. momordica) and Arya-1 (C. melo var. chate) were undertaken. Among the dessertic F1 hybrids, IC-0599709 × Punjab Sunehri resulted best with respect to first fruit harvest (73.33 days), fruit weight (938.00 g), fruit diameter (11.90 cm), flesh thickness (3.07 cm), total soluble solids (9.73%) and flesh colour (salmon orange). F2 population of AHK-119 × Kashi Madhu produced maximum number of marketable fruits per plant (11.2) weighing 350.00 g in 86.1 days. It was also found to be tolerant to high temperature. The F2 population of AHK-119 × Kashi Madhu were found to be tolerant to high temperature. The existing variability among the parents, intra-specific crosses and segregating generations for fruit (size, shape, colour), yield and quality parameters could be exploited to develop new segregants with desirable traits.

Abstract:

The present investigation was carried at College of Horticulture, Bengaluru. Evaluation of melon F2 population (Kashi Madhu X COHB38) was conducted during rabi 2016 for resistance to powdery mildew disease under natural field condition. Percent Disease Index (PDI) and AUDPC (Area Under Disease Progress Curve) value was calculated to assess the reaction of F2 (Kashi Madhu X COHB38) segregating population of melon along with the parents (COHB38 and Kashi Madhu) and F1. Based on PDI for powdery mildew disease, 152 F2 plants were classified into different categories. Twenty five F2s were resistant (0-25% PDI), 27 were moderately resistant (25.1-40% PDI), 88 were susceptible (40.1-60% PDI) and 12 F2s were highly susceptible (>60% PDI). Among 152 F2 plants, F2 -34 was found to be highly resistant with zero PDI and zero AUDPC value (no disease) followed by F2- 46 and 92 with PDI of 13.89 % and 16.11 % and 46.94 and 55.00 AUDPC value, respectively. The PDI of the disease showed a continuous distribution from highly resistant to highly susceptible phenotypes, without showing any typical segregation pattern. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol.

Abstract:

A study of genetic diversity in 20 okra genotypes for 22 morphological and agronomic traits (13 quantita- tive and 9 qualitative) was laid out in randomized block design with three replications during 2015-16. The phenotyp- ic and genotypic variances, phenotypic (PCV) and genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV), heritability, genetic ad- vance of the characters were studied. The genotypes demonstrated wide range of variability for all characters. In this study PCV was higher than its corresponding GCV thus revealing the role of environmental factors. High heritability (h2b) was recorded for all characters except for days to first flowering (27.76%) and days to 50% flowering (34.67%) which have moderate values. Genetic advance in per cent of mean was high for all the characters ex- cept moderate for first flowering node (12.88%), fruit length (17.59%), fruit diameter (13.99%) as well as low for days to first flowering (1.69%) and days to 50% flowering (2.28%). The higher value of genetic advance indicates that selection of genotypes on the basis of these characters is desirable. Fruit yield showed positive and highly significant (at 1% level of significance) genotypic association with fruit diameter, number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight and number of seeds per pod. The genotypes, viz. Kashi Kranti, Kashi Satdhari, VROB-159, Punjab-8 and Kashi Mohini were found promising for most of the yield contributing traits. These genotypes could be used further in hybrid breeding programme.

Abstract:

Development of quality hybrids having better productivity as well as rich in major antioxidant and phytochemical compounds is a prime objective of any vegetable improvement program throughout the world. Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench.), a member of the family malvaceae is a rich source of several minerals, vitamins and crude fiber. Thus, to exploit its nutritional potential in the form of hybrids selection involving right parents is the foremost criteria. With this aim, the present experiment was designed to know about the gene action for quality traits involving 10 lines and 3 testers in line × tester method. ANOVA revealed significance for all the traits. On the basis of both gca effect and per se performance, Pusa Bhindi-5 was regarded as the best parent for chlorophyll content (a and b), DOV- 92 for total carotenoids, Kashi Pragati for ascorbic acid and sugar content and Pusa Sawani for total phenol. Similarly, on the basis of both sca effect and per se performance, the cross Kashi Pragati × Pusa Bhindi-5 was found to be the best hybrid combination for chlorophyll a only, DOV- 1 × Pusa Bhindi- 5 for total carotenoids, Kashi Pragati × Pusa A-4 for ascorbic acid and DOV- 92 × Pusa Bhindi- 5 for antioxidant content of fruit. Analysis of degree of dominance and predictability ratio also indicated the presence of non-additive gene action for all the traits. In was concluded that parents which performed well for particular trait, possessed high potentiality for heterosis breeding program.

Abstract:

Pilgrimage is one of the most common phenomena found in religious culture, occurring in just about every major religious tradition. Pilgrimage has adapted to a purportedly secularizing world, and even benefited from contemporary modes of transportation and communication. All pilgrims provide the message of human welfare, development of universe and religious and spiritual promotions for the welfare of society, way to truth, salvation and many more through interactions, observations of pilgrimage, but for understanding the cultural system in both intrinsic and extrinsic ways, or as insider and outsider, a human science paradigm would be better as it covers the totality thus attempting to reveal the “whole” of the culture, human psyche and functions at play. It was found that no any kind of discriminations, differences, inequalities on the basis of caste, class, gender, ethnicity etc. among pilgrimage during the visit. Almost all respondents felt the harmony, cohesion and friendly during the visit though cross-border. All Shiva shrines promote the welfare of animals, human and the world. Harmony, cohesion, solidarity and brotherhood and sisterhood were found good. Any kind of discriminations, differences, inequalities were not found on the basis of caste, class, gender, ethnicity etc.

Abstract:

In order to assess the performance of some new genotypes of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) under tarai condition of Uttarakhand, an investigation was carried out at Vegetable Research Centre, G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, during autumn-winter cropping season of 2012-13. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with 4 replications and 9 treatments viz. PB-300, PB-301, PB-302, PB-303, PB-304, PB-305, Kashi Tarun, Punjab Sadabahar and Pant Samrat. To have comparative study, growth characters, per cent fruit infested by fruit borer, fruit yield and finally economics were also worked out. The findings revealed that none of the new genotypes in this study could supersede the local checks in respect to yield related attributes, per cent infested fruit by borer and economics. Amongst 6 genotypes and 3 commercial cultivars, variety Kashi Tarun proved the best with respect to fruit yield (490.73 q/ha) and B:C (2.43). It is also less infested by fruit borer. The per cent infested fruit by borer was 7.16 %. Variety pant samrat and pant bahar were also considered promising with 385.70 and 369.33 q/ha marketable fruit yield.

Abstract:

The temperature data from 3 meteorological stations (Kashi, Ruoqiang, and Hotan) in the South of Tarim River Basin (STRB) during 1964–2011 were analyzed by Mann-Kendall test and correlation analysis. The results from Mann-Kendall test show that the surface temperature (ST), 850 hPa temperature (T850), and 700 hPa temperature (T700) exhibited upward trends, while 300 hPa temperature (T300) revealed a downward trend. On the whole, the change rate of ST, T850, T700, and T300 was 0.26~0.46°C/10a, 0.15~0.40°C/10a, 0.03~0.10°C/10a, and −0.38~−0.13°C/10a, respectively. For the periods, ST and T850 declined during 1964–1997 and then rose during 1998–2011. T700 declined during 1964–2005 and then rose during 2006–2011, while T300 rose from 1964 to 1970s and then declined. The results from correlation analysis show that T850 and T700 positively correlated with ST (P<0.01) at the all three stations and there was a negative correlation between T300 and ST at Hotan (P<0.1), while the correlation is not significant at Kashi and Ruoqiang. The results indicate that there were gradient differences in the response of upper-air temperature (UT) to ST change.

Abstract:

The genetic diversity of thirty chiili elite lines was estimated using Mahalanobis D2 and 12 yield attributing traits. ANOVA found that there was a significant degree of variation among elite lines. Because hybrids between lines of various clusters serve a vital role in choosing possible parents and assessing the degree of divergence in the chilli elite lines, genetic diversity knowledge is crucial in plant breeding. Fruit yield/plant (45.52) contributed the most (45.52 percent) to overall genetic difference, followed by fruit width (16.09). It also displayed lines that were divided into six groups. Clusters IV and V had the greatest intercluster distance, admitted lines from a diverse gene pool, and as per cluster mean analysis, these clusters contained high values for most of the yield attributing traits such as plant height, plant spread, fruit width, days of flower initiation, days of 50% flowering, and canopy temperature. The lines in these clusters act as superior segregants for yield traits and are 2020/CHIVAR-2, 2020/CHIVAR-3, K2, 2020/CHIVAR-5, 2020/ CHIVAR-7, 2020/CHIVAR-8, 2020/CHIVAR-9, 2018 CHIHYB 03, KASHI GAURAV, KASHI ANMOL.

Abstract:

The Structural and deformational features of fold-thrust belt in the north margin of Kashi，southern Tian Shan were disclosed based on various data such as two dimensional seismic profile and field geologic survey. The results show that the fold-thrustbelt can be divided into several rows of anticlines, includingKalaboketuoer-Wenguer, Tuopa-Kangxiweier, Atushi and Kashi on plane,and the development of Atushi anticlines and its north side was controlled by the activity of the thrust system originated along the middle Cambrian Awatage Group from north to south. The fold-thrust belt can be divided into two different spatial levels: the shallow tectonic is a large scale imbricate thrust system, the detachment surface is uplifted from Cambrian system to Neogene system; the deep structure is a buried duplex structure system, the fault in floor and fault in roof are located at gypsic horizon in Cambrian and Neogene systemrespectively. Based on structural deformation analyzing and balanced section technology, the distribution of each anticlinal belt and the structure style of the low and deep thrust systems are confirmed. In this area the distance is shortened by 32.64～49.1km from north to south since Pliocene with the scalage of 40.5%～50.51%，and its average crustal shortening rate is 9.11～13.71mm/a.

Abstract:

Recent studies of scholarly life in early modern India have concentrated on the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. My essay has two aims: to push this study into the long eighteenth century, and to contextualise the new configurations of Sanskrit scholarship in the movement of people between Banaras and Thanjavur, theorised here as centres of gravity and of levity, respectively. Towards the end of the seventeenth century, the Maharashtrian scholar Raghunātha Gaṇeśa Navahasta moved from his post as temple priest at Chāphaḷ, in the Sātārā district, down south to Thanjavur, to receive the patronage of Queen Dīpābāī. At the behest of the queen, Raghunātha began writing in Marathi instead of Sanskrit, in order to reach a wider audience. Despite his elite education as a young man in Banaras, his Sanskrit writing itself was likely accessible to the same audience that the queen had envisioned. What were Raghunātha’s true aspirations, and how did changes in his working conditions shape his career? In this essay, I trace Raghunātha’s entrepreneurial spirit through his Bhojanakutūhala, or Curiosities on Consumption. Although traditionally the prerogative of cultural historians of food, the Bhojanakutūhala reveals just as much about the intellectual context of its author as he travelled from north to south. I conclude by comparing Raghunātha’s career with that of his contemporary and namesake, Raghunātha Paṇḍita.

Abstract:

Abstract. The direct radiative forcing efficiency of dust aerosol (DRFEdust) is an important indicator to measure the climate effect of dust. The DRFEdust is determined by the microphysical properties of dust, which vary with dust source regions. However, there are only sparse in situ measurements of them, such as the distribution of the dust aerosol particle size and the complex refractive index in the main dust source regions. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that the non-spherical effect of the dust particle is not negligible. The DRFEdust is often evaluated by estimating given microphysical properties of the dust aerosols in the radiative transfer model (RTM). However, considerable uncertainties exist due to the complex and variable dust properties, including the complex refractive index and the shape of the dust. The DRFEdust over the Taklimakan Desert and Sahara is derived from the satellite observations in this paper. The advantage of the proposed satellite-based method is that there is no need to consider the microphysical properties of the dust aerosols in estimating the DRFEdust. For comparison, the observed DRFEdust is compared with that simulated by the RTM. The differences in the dust microphysical properties in these two regions and their impacts on DRFEdust are analyzed. The DRFEdust derived from the satellite observation is -39.6±10.0 W m-2τ-1 in March 2019 over Tamanrasset in the Sahara and -48.6±13.7 W m-2τ-1 in April 2019 over Kashi in the Taklimakan Desert. According to the analyses of their microphysical properties and optical properties, the dust aerosols from the Taklimakan Desert (Kashi) scatter strongly. The RTM-simulated results (−41.5 to −47.4 W m-2τ-1 over Kashi and −32.2 to −44.3 W m-2τ-1 over Tamanrasset) are in good agreement with the results estimated by satellite observations. According to previous studies, the results in this paper are proven to be reasonable and reliable. The results also show that the microphysical properties of the dust can significantly influence the DRFEdust. The satellite-derived results can represent the influence of the dust microphysical properties on the DRFEdust, which can also validate the direct radiative effect of the dust aerosol and the DRFEdust derived from the numerical model more directly.

Abstract:

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) remains a serious public health problem in China. To explore the temporal, spatial, and spatiotemporal characteristics of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), the spatial and spatiotemporal clustering distribution and their relationships with the surrounding geographic environmental factors were analyzed. In this study, the average nearest-neighbor distance (ANN), Ripley’s K-function and Moran’s I statistics were used to evaluate spatial autocorrelation in the VL distribution of the existing case patterns. Getis–Ord Gi* was used to identify the hot-spot and cold-spot areas based on Geographic Information System (GIS), and spatiotemporal retrospective permutation scan statistics was used to detect the spatiotemporal clusters. The results indicated that VL continues to be a serious public health problem in Kashi Prefecture, China, particularly in the north-central region of Jiashi County, which is a relatively high-risk area in which hot spots are distributed. Autumn and winter months were the outbreak season for VL cases. The detection of spatial and spatiotemporal patterns can provide epidemiologists and local governments with significant information for prevention measures and control strategies.

Abstract:

Citrus is the most extensively produced tree fruit crop in the world, and the citrus red mites, Panonychus citri (McGregor) and citrus rust mites, Phyllocoptruta oleivora (Ashmead) are the serious pest mites of citrus crops. Except for chemical control, biological control is an important component of integrated pest management and plays an essential role in regulating populations of pest mites. Predatory mites from the family Phytoseiidae are important natural enemies. The populations of P. citri are usually controlled by indigenous predators, mainly the phytoseiid mites. As native phytoseiids are more likely to adapt to the local environmental conditions than the commercially available phytoseiids, conservation of local phytoseiid species is a key factor for the IPM success in citrus orchards. Investigation into the species and population dynamics of phytoseiid mites in citrus orchards will provide important references to the conservation and utilization of predatory mites. This work aimed to investigate the species of phytoseiid mites and their seasonal population dynamics associated with P. citri in different citrus cultivars orchards. We sampled phytoseiid mites from orchards planted with three citrus cultivars of citron-lemon, Ehime Kashi No. 28 and Shatangju, respectively, from April to December in 2018⁓2021. Species of phytoseiid mites, and their developmental stage and gender were identified under a microscope. In the citron-lemon orchard, we recorded nine phytoseiid species in 2018, but only three species in 2019. The dominant species was Scapulaseius newsami (Evans). In 2020, five species with a dominant species of Euseius nicholsi (Ehara et Lee) were found in Ehime Kashi No. 28 orchard, but only two with a dominant species of Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) detected in the Shatangju orchard. In the Shatangju orchard in 2021, six species were recorded with N. californicus being dominant from April to July, and Amblyseius eharai Amitai & Swirski being dominant from August to December. The population of predatory mites peaked in May and October in the citron-lemon orchard, and in May, July and October in the Ehime Kashi No. 28 and Shatangju orchards. All active life stages (i.e., larva, nymph and adult) were found and most were adults. The sex ratio was female-biased (over 80%) in each orchard. In conclusion, the population size of phytoseiids changed over the growing seasons. Whether this could be attributed to the different tolerance capacities of different species to the local climate conditions or chemical pesticides remains for future studies.

Abstract:

After the Babri mosque in the northern Indian city of Ayodhya was destroyed in 1992 by mobs of ‘volunteers’ mobilised by Hindu nationalist forces, a deed of license between the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board and the Uttar Pradesh state government was signed. Through this license a portion of land in the Gyan Vapi mosque premises in Banaras (Varanasi) was handed over to the state for security purposes. The Gyan Vapi mosque is less than fifty meters from the Kashi Vishvanath temple, a notable Hindu pilgrimage destination. Although at the centre of security issues for centuries, the mosque has been a target of the Hindu nationalist movement that since the 1980s has aimed at the ‘liberation’ of allegedly originally Hindu places of worship. By analysing the evolution of security discourses in local Hindi newspapers and drawing on ethnography of everyday policing at the Kashi Vishvanath-Gyan Vapi compound, this article discusses moral frictions involved in securing a contested place of worship and argues that scopes and objects of securitisation can shift. In the case I discuss, the predominately Hindu police are shown to play an ambiguous role, caught as they are between their duty to secure the disputed mosque and their likely adherence to the increasingly dominant Hindu nationalist discourse. In overcoming these moral frictions, police through their everyday activity contribute to the shift of the object of securitisation from the mosque to the more ‘acceptable’ temple.
