Abstract:

The “farm problem” was a phrase that appeared on the scene in the 1930s after a continued inability of the market to absorb what farmers were producing. Actually, there had always been a farm problem, mostly one of overproduction, and lack of rural employment. Short-term crises were treated with short-term remedies. Banking “panics” came and went; tariff policy was a principal worry for farmers, and land policy (the public domain) had affected farmers since the time of Thomas Jefferson. It was not until the Great Depression that the federal government intervened directly in the market place to affect prices and incomes. The government also intervened in labor markets and foreign trade to benefit the farm sector. Government has never been able to extract itself. The farm problem is that too many resources being committed to agriculture, and farmers and the rural sector are unable to adjust. Ultimately, the issue became political: how much (or how little) money should be spent on agriculture, and in what way should it be spent? So long as the agricultural budget dominated the federal budget there was “war.” Today, agriculture has a smaller share of the budget but the farm problem remains. Henry Wallace, US Secretary of Agriculture under FDR, would be astounded!

Abstract:

George Orwell’s Animal Farm is traditionally read as a satire on dictatorships in general, and the Bolshevik Revolution in particular. This article postulates the notion that the schema of the book has attained the force of metonymy to such an extent that whenever one alludes to the title of the book or some lines from it, one conjures up images associated with a dictatorship. The title of the book has become a part of the conceptual political lexicon of the English language to refer to the corruption of a utopian ideology. As an ideological state, Animal Farm has its vision, which is embedded in its constitution; it has the vote, a national anthem and a flag. It even has its patriots, double-dealers, social engineers and lechers. In this way the title Animal Farm, like Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, or Thomas More’s Utopia, functions metonymically to map a conceptual framework which matches the coordinates of the book. The article concludes with a look at contemporary society to show how Orwell’s satire endorses the words of Lord Acton, namely, that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes an early 20th-century double or duplex farmhouse in the St. Mary’s River valley of northeastern Nova Scotia built by brothers Thomas and George Ross. Although double houses are common in urban and industrial contexts where an economy of space is required, such forms are atypical across the agricultural built landscape. In exploring the shared architecture of the Ross family farm, this paper seeks to understand the Ross family and their idiosyncratic architectural choice in the context of a rapidly changing rural landscape where economic underdevelopment and outmigration threatened the stability of established social structures. While partition may seemingly create a division between those living in double or duplex houses, in the case of the Ross family, the farmhouse reproduced and strengthened kinship.

Abstract:

Thomas Dewey, the progressive Republican governor of New York from 1942 to 1954 famously “snatched defeat from the jaws of victory” in the presidential election of 1948. It was an election that everyone, with the possible exception of Harry S. Truman, had expected Dewey to win. Truman, like much of the historiography, credited his victory to the farm vote, and this was undoubtedly an important factor, but it is clear that without the votes of African Americans Truman could not have won. This piece will examine why Dewey lost, surveying his record on civil rights as governor (arguably the best in the nation) and his abject failure to convert, indeed, to even attempt to convert, this record into African American votes in 1948. This failure is made more curious by the fact that he was constantly being warned by African American Republicans and his closest confidante about the pivotal nature of the African American vote. Yet Dewey, a notoriously lethargic campaigner, would ignore their admonishments.

Abstract:

A debate has recently been re-ignited over the pace of long-run productivity growth in nineteenth-century agriculture. Before 1966 the view was one of accelerated productivity over the course of the century, and this view was confirmed by the statistics on farm gross product published in 1960 by Marvin Towne and Wayne Rasmussen. The appearance in 1966 of Stanley Lebergott's labor force series changed this traditional perspective. When combined with Towne and Rasmussen's output figures, Lebergott's figures suggested that productivity growth was slower after the Civil War than before, calling into question the more plausible pattern of postbellum increases. A few historians were skeptical of these new findings, but were unable to dispute the seemingly solid foundation upon which they were built. Finally in 1993, Thomas Weiss argued that the skeptics were in fact correct to be wary of Lebergott's revisions.

Abstract:

After an initial reflection on just what might be meant by ‘rural experience’, the essay turns to an explicit comparison of the author's childhood experiences on his maternal grandparents’ farm in Afton, Virginia, with Thomas Hardy's rendition in his novel, Under the Greenwood Tree, of his childhood experiences in Upper Bockhampton, Dorsetshire. Both Miller and Hardy seem to represent their childhood places as examples of genuine ‘organic communities’, but the essay shows in detail ways in which the model of organic community does not quite work in either case. This ‘non-working’, however, is not the same in each instance. The essay shows this in detail, especially by way of attention to the southern heritage of slavery in modern Afton, and by way of the narrator's ironic detachment in Under the Greenwood Tree as well as through the photographs that illustrated early editions of Hardy's novel and through the reference in the subtitle to the novel as ‘A Rural Painting of the Dutch School’.

Abstract:

AbstractThe work of southern sociologist Thomas Jackson Woofter Jr. (1893–1972) is frequently cited by American historians, but his contribution to government policy on agriculture in the New Deal, Social Security in the 1940s, and demography in the Cold War remains underappreciated. He left the University of North Carolina to direct government research on rural relief in the 1930s, Social Security enhancement during and after World War II, and foreign population and manpower projections during the Cold War. Contributing to the delivery of essential programs in key agencies, he participated in internal and external debates over policy and social attitudes between 1930 and 1960. Woofter worked for the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the Works Progress Administration, the Farm Security Agency, the Federal Security Agency, and the Central Intelligence Agency, improving data-gathering and assisting transitions in federal policymaking. This article assesses his role in those agencies, using official records, other primary materials, and secondary sources.

Abstract:

Thomas, J. B. and Graf, R. J. 2014. Rates of yield gain of hard red spring wheat in western Canada. Can. J. Plant Sci. 94: 1–13. The Manitoba and Saskatchewan Seed Guides dating back to 1972 represent an unused source of yield comparisons to re-examine current progress in western Canadian spring wheat cultivar yields. Adjusting for the shift in check cultivars over time showed that the yield rise due to new cultivars could be divided into two periods. Prior to the early 1990s, yields rose at a rate of about 0.33% per year; these low early rates agree with other published estimates from this period and were possibly influenced by a strong emphasis on replicating the quality of previous cultivars. From the early 1990s to 2013, yields rose by about 0.7% per year; this doubling of the earlier rate was significant based on the non-overlap of confidence intervals of comparable slopes. To compare rates published in the literature with these new rates, all slopes were adjusted to a common benchmark where mean yield = 100%. Following these adjustments, current rates in western Canada (about 0.67% per year) were comparable with a world average estimated to be about 0.62% per year. Variation in performance among Canada Western Red Spring cultivars based on the Seed Guides was significantly correlated with their on-farm yields based on Manitoba Management Plus Program (MMPP) crop insurance data (r = 0.81, n = 42). Beginning in 1991, on-farm yields rose by an average of about 1.4% per year both in Manitoba (Manitoba Management Plus Program data) and across the entire western wheat area (Statistics Canada data). This compares favorably with a world-wide rate of yield increase for wheat since 1991 of 1.16% per year. Although western Canadian on-farm yield gains were attributed to a combination of new cultivars and upgraded agronomy, the two influences were not separable in the Manitoba crop insurance data set. Opinions published in the farming press that rates of yield gain among western Canadian wheat cultivars are comparatively low were not supported by the evidence presented here.

Abstract:

Mixed farming systems, in which crops and livestock are integrated on the same farm, are the backbone of small-scale agriculture in most developing countries (Lenné and Thomas, 2006). Crops and livestock contribute in a diversity of ways to enhancing the livelihoods of the poor through provision of food, income, draught power and employment. Livestock are a major source of high-quality protein, minerals, vitamins and micro-nutrients for developing country populations and livestock-derived food items contribute significantly to agricultural GDP. Animals also play a major role in improving food security in such countries, because cash income obtained from the sale of animals is regularly used to buy non-livestock food items and inputs to farming. It is predicted that the demand for livestock products in developing countries will increase substantially over the next 25 years (Delgado et al., 1999). Failure to meet the challenge of further growth in the livestock sector in these regions is likely to result in the growing urban demand for livestock products being met by subsidized imports. This will be to the detriment of small-scale producers and national and regional economic growth.

Abstract:

The image of the moon in the rural landscape is such a familiar and common theme in nineteenth century art that we should ask what made this theme so popular, widespread, and persistent. The similarity among these depictions borders on formula: a field or rustic farm, a broad horizon, a full moon rising or a thin crescent moon setting, perhaps a shepherd or field worker silhouetted against the twilight sky. But what made this image so appealing to nineteenth century artists and their audiences? This paper will examine the theme of the moon in the landscape, and will suggest that the persistence of the motif masks an evolving set of ideas about time, nature and change. From the personal visions of Samuel Palmer and Vincent van Gogh, to the contemplation of nature’s sublimity in Caspar David Friedrich and Thomas Moran, the expressive range of the subject is significant. But a common thread emerges when these images are seen within the context of the nineteenth century’s rapid industrialization, urbanization, and materialism. Rather than romantic invention or picturesque scenery, images of the moon in nineteenth century landscape art were used to explore a broad range of ideas about modernity, nature and humanity in an age of science and industry.

Abstract:

The gubernatorial election of 1892 unnerved faculty members at Kansas State Agricultural College (KSAC). Voted into office by a “fusion” of Populists and Democrats, Governor Lorenzo Lewelling filled four vacant seats on the college's seven-member governing board, overturning a Republican Party majority for the first time in the college's history. These new regents included radicals such as Edward Secrest, a farmer who pledged to “change the order of things” at KSAC, and Christian Balzac Hoffman, a miller, banker, and politician who had founded an ill-fated socialist colony in Topolobampo, Mexico. Populist interest in KSAC intensified in 1897, when a different fusionist governing board promoted Professor Thomas E. Will to the college presidency. Born on an Illinois farm, Will attended a normal school before proceeding to Harvard University, where he chaffed within “the citadel of a murderous economic system.” When offered the chair of political economy at KSAC, Will had been lecturing, writing for reform periodicals, and serving as secretary of a Christian socialist organization called The Boston Union for Practical Progress. Although he never formally joined a Populist organization, Will shared the movement's commitment to erasing class distinctions in politics and education. Following Will's inauguration, a Populist regent exulted that the masses had finally “scaled the gilded halls of the universities.”

Abstract:

Rose rosette disease (RRD), a mite-vectored agent of unknown etiology, was first recorded on multiflora rose, Rosa multiflora Thunb. in central Maryland in 1996. This uncharacterized agent is transmitted to some members of rose family by the eriophyid mite Phyllocoptes fructiphilus Keifer, which is common on multiflora rose in Maryland (1). It is also graft-transmissible (2). In 1996, a farmer near Middletown in Frederick County observed one plant with witches'-broom and reddened shoots along a fence row and sent a sample to J. W. Amrine, Jr. at West Virginia University, for confirmation of the disease (J. W. Amrine, personal communication). During 1997, delimiting surveys around this farm failed to detect any other plant with noticeable symptoms in an area heavily infested with multiflora rose. In an attempt to augment the disease, we grafted shield buds from this plant into 10 nearby apparently helathy plants in May and again in June 1997. None of these grafts were successful. More diseased buds were removed from the original infected plant during May 1998 and grafted into another 12 plants. By June of 1999, only the graft-inoculated plants from 1998 had symptomatic shoots arising from the graft sites. During this interval, RRD was observed in sites in western Maryland near Cumberland in Allegany County (May 1997) and Hagerstown in Washington County (May 1998). Initially, the percentage of symptomatic plants at these sites was less than 10%. Surveys 12 months later indicated that approximately 50% of the plants showed symptoms of RRD. At one site, the majority of the larger multiflora rose plants had at least one dead cane and a few were completely dead. Further augmentation of RRD by grafting was conducted in May 1998 at the University of Maryland Research and Education Center in Keedysville in southern Washington County, and by June 1999 only treated plants were symptomatic. In August 1998, one multiflora rose and one ornamental rose, Rosa hybrida ‘Scarlet Meidiland’ Meikrotal, exhibited RRD symptoms on a farm in northern Washington County near the Pennsylvania border. We found numerous symptomatic multiflora roses in May 1999, at a farm in northern Frederick County, also near the Pennsylvania border. Symptomatic plants have been observed during 2000 in Montgomery, Carroll, and Baltimore Counties as RRD continues to spread rapidly east and north through the state. This is the first documentation of the occurrence and rate of spread of RRD in Maryland. References: (1) W. B. Allington et al. J. Econ. Entomol. 61:1137, 1968. (2) E. A. Thomas and C. E. Scott.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper shows how solidarity is one of the founding principles in Thomas More's Utopia (1516). In the fictional republic of Utopia described in Book II, solidarity has a political and a moral function. The principle is at the center of the communal organization of Utopian society, exemplified in a number of practices such as the sharing of farm work, the management of surplus crops, or the democratic elections of the governor and the priests. Not only does solidarity benefit the individual Utopian, but it is a prerequisite to ensure the prosperity of the island of Utopia and its moral preeminence over its neighboring countries. However, a limit to this principle is drawn when the republic of Utopia faces specific social difficulties, and also deals with the rest of the world. In order for the principle of solidarity to function perfectly, it is necessary to apply it exclusively within the island or the republic would be at risk. War is not out of the question then, and compassion does not apply to all human beings. This conception of solidarity, summed up as “Utopia first!,” could be dubbed a Machiavellian strategy, devised to ensure the durability of the republic. We will show how some of the recommendations of Realpolitik made by Machiavelli in The Prince (1532) correspond to the Utopian policy enforced to protect their commonwealth.

Full text

Abstract:

Spatial patterns in ecology can be described as reflective of environmental heterogeneity (exogenous), or emergent from dynamic relationships between interacting species (endogenous), but few empirical studies focus on the combination. The spatial distribution of the nests of Azteca sericeasur , a keystone tropical arboreal ant, is thought to form endogenous spatial patterns among the shade trees of a coffee plantation through self-regulating interactions with controlling agents (i.e. natural enemies). Using inhomogeneous point process models, we found evidence for both types of processes in the spatial distribution of A. sericeasur . Each year's nest distribution was determined mainly by a density-dependent relationship with the previous year's lagged nest density; but using a novel application of a Thomas cluster process to account for the effects of nest clustering, we found that nest distribution also correlated significantly with tree density in the later years of the study. This coincided with the initiation of agricultural intensification and tree felling on the coffee farm. The emergence of this significant exogenous effect, along with the changing character of the density-dependent effect of lagged nest density, provides clues to the mechanism behind a unique phenomenon observed in the plot, that of an increase in nest population despite resource limitation in nest sites. Our results have implications in coffee agroecological management, as this system provides important biocontrol ecosystem services. Further research is needed, however, to understand the effective scales at which these relationships occur.

Thomas Augst, The Clerk's Tale: Young Men and Moral Life in Nineteenth-Century America (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003)Scott A. Sandage, Born Losers: A History of Failure in America (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2005)The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, as the historian William Leach has written, is a fairy tale about faith and capitalism in modern America. First published in 1900, L. Frank Baum's long-loved work tells the story of two ordinary Midwesterners in a country where wishes come true: a farm girl named Dorothy and a phoney wizard whose only real power turns out to be that of “making believe.” By pretending to bestow brains, heart, and courage upon Dorothy's fellow pilgrims, the “great humbug” turns their faith in him into faith in themselves, in the untapped powers they have held all along. “All you need is confidence in yourself,” he says, and his gift makes them rulers in their own lands much as he rules over his. Viewed as a spiritual quest, Dorothy's odyssey is about living in a world with no higher power than oneself. But like Norman Vincent Peale's later bestseller, Baum's sunny story joins the “power of positive thinking” to the Emerald City; the yellow-brick road is also the road to riches, to wondrous works as well as self-fulfilling faith. Like the alternative Americas depicted in Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward and more than a hundred other utopian novels of the late 1880s and 1890s, Oz is a promised land where faith supplants politics, less a commonwealth than a common dream.

The experiment was carried out at the New Developmental Farm (NDF), The University of Agriculture, Peshawar during spring season, 2014 under field conditions. One of the major objectives of the experiment was to assess the effectiveness of the treatments application in their individual state as well as in combinations under field conditions. The treatments were mineral oil, insecticide, biocide and their combinations. Among various treatments, Diver was effective with disease severity level (1) and % disease incidence (40) in individual state and in combination (Diver + Confidor) and (Diver + Confidor + Neem extract) gave good results with % disease incidence (33.33) and with disease severity level (1). Neem extract was found to be less effective when used individually with % disease incidence (56.66) and with disease severity level (3), whereas Confidor when applied individually was more effective than Neem extract with % disease incidence (50) and with disease severity level (2). Moreover Diver in combination with Neem extract was found to be less effective in management of PVY as compared to Diver in combination with Confidor with % disease incidence (40) and disease severity level (1). Three aphid species were found in the field i.e Myzus persicae (Sulzer), Aphid gossypii (Glover) and Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas). In case of aphid’s population, Confidor was more effective in reducing aphid’s population as compared to Diver and Neem extract. Finally, it can be concluded that Diver alone was more effective in the management of PVY. However in combination, Diver with Confidor significantly managed PVY under field conditions

Abstract:

Abstract Corunca is situated at 4.5 km SE from Târgu-Mureș, near the Salt Stream, the Bozeni Stream, and the Vațman Stream. Its area is inhabited from ancient times. Both prehistoric and Roman findings were reported to have been found within the village boundaries. Its neighbouring medieval village, Sárvári, perished in the 16th century, while Kisernye was devastated by Turkish troops in 1661. The settlement was first recorded in 1332 as Korunka. The Reformed Church was built between 1769 and 1778, while its spire dates from 1793. The earlier church was surrended by high protective walls, which were demolished in 1769. The extremely ruinous castle with its neoclassical façade and a couple of neighbouring farm buildings appear on the left side of the European route E60 travelling from Târgu-Mureș to Sighișoara. Today, this is a barren place, although once it was surrounded by a grove the size of 120 cadastral acres [2]. During the reign of John Sigismund Zápolya, Prince of Transylvania and ruler of a part of the Kingdom of Hungary, the village belonged to Thomas Mihályfy. The castle was ravaged in 1562 by the revolted Szeklers. After the fall of the Mihályfy family, the Chancellor of Transylvania, Farkas Kovacsóczi owned the estate, which later came down to the Tholdalagi family. The Tholdalagi family belongs to one of the great magnate families of Transylvania, with nicknames deriving from Ercea and Iclod, but originating from Toldal, Mureș County, Romania – their ancient demesne from the 16th century. Mihály I. Tholdalagi (1580–1673), one of the wisest diplomats in the Principality, reshaped the original building to an impressive castle in the 1630s, whose size and adjoining buildings are described in the Inventory dating from 1680. The first members of the Tholdalagi family came to Transylvania from Hungary. According to the family traditions, and also mentioned in their Certificate of Count, their ancestor is the extinguished Alaghi family member, András, who obtained Toldalag settlement together with its neighbouring Ercse in 1453; hence the nickname “Ercsei”. Thus, Mihály Tholdalagi’s parents were Balázs from Gáldtő and Borbála Bessenyei [1].

Abstract:

Flowering ginger, Alpinia purpurata (Vieill.) K. Schum., is a popular cut flower and tropical landscape plant in Hawaii. In Hawaii, ginger flowers, including red and pink cultivars, are grown as field crops with an estimated annual sales of more than $1.6 million (USD) in 2006 (2). In June 2009, a commercial ginger flower grower from Waimanalo, Oahu, Hawaii reported plants with symptoms that included severe mosaic and stripes on the leaves. Flowers showed significant cupping and browning and growers report a reduction in size and shelf life. Symptomatic ginger was also identified at the Lyon Arboretum in Honolulu. Double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) were isolated from pooled leaf samples collected from 42 symptomatic plants at two locations on the island of Oahu to further characterize the pathogen associated with the symptomatic ginger. dsRNAs of approximately 0.7, 1.1, 1.8, 2.2, and 12 kb were present in the extractions from symptomatic plants but not in extractions from asymptomatic plants. Partial cloning and sequence analysis of the dsRNA revealed 95 to 98% nucleotide identity to sequences of P1, HC-Pro, C1, 6K2, VpG, NIb, and CP genes and the 3′ untranslated region (total approximately 6 kb) of Banana bract mosaic virus (BBrMV). Total RNAs were also isolated from the symptomatic and asymptomatic plants from the Waimanalo farm and Lyon Arboretum. These RNA isolations were used in reverse transcription (RT)-PCR with primers Bract N1: 5′-GGRACATCACCAAATTTRAATGG-3′ and Bract NR: 5′-GTGTGCYTCTCTAGCCCTGTT-3′ (1), to amplify a 279-bp conserved region of the coat protein of BBrMV. Amplicons of the appropriate size were obtained from 38 of the symptomatic plants, whereas none were obtained from asymptomatic controls. RT-PCR amplicons of arbitrarily selected samples were cloned into pGEM-T Easy, sequenced, and found to be 99% identical to corresponding sequences of BBrMV. Furthermore, using double-antibody sandwich-ELISA assay and antibodies (3), we developed a system that can specifically detect BBrMV in infected flowering ginger plants and not in healthy appearing ginger. To our knowledge, this is the first report of BBrMV in flowering ginger in Hawaii. Further research is needed to determine if BBrMV infecting ginger poses a threat to banana, edible ginger, and other closely related ornamentals in Hawaii. References: (1) M. L. Iskra-Caruana et al.

Abstract:

Emily Feyes, The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine; Dixie Mollenkopf, The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine; Thomas Wittum, The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine; Dubraska Diaz-Campos, The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine; Rikki Horne, The Ohio State University College of Veterinary MedicineBackground: The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine (OSU-CVM) Antimicrobial Stewardship Working Group (ASWG) uses monthly environmental surveillance to understand the effectiveness of our veterinary medical center (VMC) infection control and biosecurity protocols in reducing environmental contamination with multidrug resistant organisms. Monthly surveillance allows us to monitor trends in the recovery of these resistant organisms and address issues of concern that could impact our patients, clients, staff, and students. Methods: The OSU-CVM ASWG collects samples from >100 surfaces within the companion animal, farm animal, and equine sections of our hospital each month. Sampling has been continuous since January 2018. Samples are collected from both human–animal contact and human-only contact surfaces using Swiffer electrostatic cloths. These samples are cultured for recovery of Salmonella spp, extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus spp. Results: The recovery of these antibiotic resistant target organisms is low in the environment of our hospital. Recovery from human-only contact surfaces (19.8%) is very similar to recovery from human–animal contact surfaces (25.5%). We commonly recover Enterobacteriaceae (E.coli, Klebsiella spp, and Enterobacter spp) that are resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (496 of 2,016; 24.6%) from the VMC environment. These antibiotic-resistant indicator bacteria are expected in a veterinary hospital setting where use the of β-lactam drugs is common. Recovery of both Salmonella spp and CPE has remained very low in our hospital environment over the past 19 months: 16 of 2,016 (0.7%) for Salmonella and 15 of 2,016 (0.8%) for CPE. Discussion: The active environmental surveillance component of our antimicrobial stewardship program has allowed us to reduce the threat of nosocomial infections within our hospital and address environmental contamination issues before they become a problem. Our consistently low recovery of resistant organisms indicates the effectiveness of our existing cleaning and disinfection protocols and biosecurity measures. Due to the nature of our patient population, we do expect to find resistant organisms in the patient-contact areas of the hospital environment. However, our similar rates of resistant organisms from human-only surfaces (eg, computer keyboards, door handles, telephones, and Cubex machines) indicates a need to improve our hand hygiene practices. These data are now supporting the implementation of a new hand hygiene campaign in our veterinary hospital.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

Abstract:

None of the award-winning films reviewed in this article has a blissful tone. In these films, we watch young girls in assembly lines producing all sorts of commodities in China as well as four hundred Chinese workers disassembling a coking plant in Germany. We are immersed in people's personal stories, such as a peasant woman forced to leave her farm and her lone hut, located in the area due to be submerged by the Three Gorges Dam project, and a sixteen-year-old girl learning to labor on a cruise ship along the Yangtze River. In most of the films we also meet managers, Chinese or foreign, who are concerned with nothing but maximizing profit through intense exploitation of labor. These films document how the massive force of modernization in a globalized world affects lives of common people in China. Their struggles with poverty, corrupt officials, and greedy business owners are displayed in sharp contrast to both shining metropolitan glory and rural banality. In this regard, the Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky's photographs of China, as shown in the film Manufactured Landscapes, seem emblematic enough: Modernization in China has altered the trajectory of people's lives as well as the landscapes of their nation. This article discusses the issues embedded in the stories the seven documentaries present: the impact of global capitalism; the relations between national development and globalization; the conflicts between corporate social responsibility and profit-making; and the predicament of migrant workers and their human agency.

Abstract:

La reinserción de guerrilleros a la vida civil supone el cambio radical de la pauta cultural socializada y practicada en la guerrilla. Cinco aspectos son desarrollados como argumentos: la identidad guerrillera, la concepción de amigo-enemigo, la alianza con el campesino, la socialización de la pauta cultural y su des-socialización mediante la reintegración a la vida civil. Los argumentos se sustentan en Michel Foucault acerca del vigilar y castigar, en la construcción social de la realidad de Peter Berger y Thomas Luckmann, en las representaciones sociales de Serge Moscovici y de Denise Jodelet, y en los principios de solidaridad y de responsabilidad de Pierre Rosanvallon, el pluralismo de Chantal Mouffe y, finalmente, en la acción en la cual somos diferentes del otro, en Hannah Arendt.

La era absolutista medieval abarca los siglos XVI al XVIII, este período define el inicio de la era moderna porque aquí se sientan las bases filosóficas y teóricas que niegan el feudalismo medieval para dar paso al estado absolutista, donde el rey ejerce el poder absoluto. En esta época se desarrolla el renacimiento que representa un amplio movimiento cultural donde se producen cambios significativos en las artes, las ciencias, la política, la filosofía y la religión. El enfoque central del renacimiento está en el ser humano como centro del pensamiento occidental, se desarrolla el humanismo medieval, donde se combina el racionalismo y el naturalismo.

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, Anadolu popülasyonundaki palatal ruga örneklerini, sayı, uzunluk, şekil, yan dallarıyla birleşme ve yerleşim yönleri açısından incelemek, cinsiyetlere göre dağılımını belirlemek, palatal rugaların adli vakalarda ve afet kurbanlarının kimliklendirilmesinde cinsiyet tayini için kullanılabilirliğini sorgulamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma, 248 bireye ait üst çene modelindeki rugalar Thomas-Kotze ve Kapali sınıflama sistemi kullanılarak değerlendirildi, erkek ve kadınlardaki ruga tiplerinin istatistiksel analizi yapıldı. Veri analizinde SPSS (17.0) versiyonu ve Pearson Chi-Square, Fisher’ın Kesin Testi ve Mann-Whitney U analizleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmada, 132 kadın (%53,2), 116 erkek (%46,8) 248 bireye ait 2367 ruga değerlendirildi. Yapılan analizler sonucunda; ruga sayısı üzerinde cinsiyetin etkili bir faktör olmadığı, ruga toplam sayısının kadınlarda 6-15 erkeklerde ise 5-18 arasında değiştiği, cinsiyet gruplarında toplam ruga sayısı dağılımı açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadığı (p=0,161) belirlendi. Ruga uzunluğu ile cinsiyet arasında (p=0,526), ruga şekli ile cinsiyet arasında (p=0,672), ruga yan dallarının birleşme şekilleriyle cinsiyet arasında (p=0,189) ve ruga yerleşim yönleri ile cinsiyet arasında (p>0,05) istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir bağımlılık olmadığı belirlendi. Sonuç: Değerlendirme sonunda en sık rastlanan ruga tiplerinin; uzunluk açısından birincil, şekil açısından da kavisli tip ruga olduğu belirlendi. Rugaların hiçbir tipinde seksüel dimorfizm saptanmadı. Bu sonuç, rugaların adli vakalarda cinsiyet tayini için yardımcı bir yöntem olarak kullanılabilmesi için olanak sağlamadığını, farklı bölgelerde ve daha büyük örneklem gruplarıyla çalışmanın tekrarlanmasının gerekliliği göstermektedir.

Abstract:

The impact of agricultural intensification on soil degradation now is occurring in tropical countries. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of long-term tillage and N fertilization on soil properties and crop yields in corn-soybean rotation. This long-term study which initiated since 1987 was carried out on a Typic Fragiudult soil at Politeknik Negeri Lampung, Sumatra (105o13’45.5"-105o13’48.0"E, 05o21’19.6"-05o21’19.7"S) in 2010 and 2011. A factorial experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with four replications. The first factor was tillage system namely intensive tillage (IT) and conservation tillage (CT) which consist of minimum tillage (MT) and no-tillage (NT); while the second factor was N fertilization with rates of 0, 100 and 200 kg N ha-1 applied for corn, and 0, 25, and 50 kg N ha-1 for soybean. The results showed that bulk density and soil strength at upper layer after 24 years of cropping were similar among treatments, but the soil strength under IT at 50-60 cm depth was 28.2% higher (p<0.05) than NT. Soil moisture and temperature under CT at 0-5 cm depth were respectively 38.1% and 4.5% higher (p<0.05) than IT. High N rate decreased soil pH at 0-20 cm depth as much as 10%, but increased total soil N at 0-5 cm depth as much as 19% (p<0.05). At 0-10 cm depth, MT with no N had highest exchangeable K, while IT with medium N rate had the lowest (p<0.05). At 0-5 cm depth, MT with no N had highest exchangeable Ca, but it had the lowest (p<0.05) if combined with higher N rate. Microbial biomass C throughout the growing season for NT was consistently highest and it was 14.4% higher (p<0.05) than IT. Compared to IT, Ap horizon of CT after 24 years of cropping was deeper, with larger soil structure and more abundance macro pores. Soybean and corn yields for long-term CT were 64.3% and 31.8% higher (p<0.05) than IT, respectively. Corn yield for long-term N with rate of 100 kg N ha-1 was 36.4% higher (p<0.05) than with no N.Keywords: Conservation tillage, crop yields, N fertilization, soil properties[How to Cite: Utomo M, IS Banuwa, H Buchari, Y Anggraini and Berthiria. 2013.Long-term Tillage and Nitrogen Fertilization Effects on Soil Properties and Crop Yields.

Abstract:

La lingva politiko de la Orientindia Kompanio kaj la Azia Societo de Bengalio La referajo traktas la lingvan politikon de la Orientindia Kompanio, kiel tio fontis el la administra politiko de la unua generate gubernatoro de Bengalio, Warren Hastings, kaj la fondigo de la Azia Societo de Bengalio kaj la Kolegio de Fort William. Celante regi Hindion, Hastings komencis per klopodo kompreni la hindan popolon kaj ties lingvan kaj kulturan bazon. Staris antaǔ li elekto: au uzi okcidentecan aliron, kiel poste faris la Lordoj Cornwallis kaj Macaulay, trudante sur hindan teron fremdajn instituciojn, au labori ene de la ekzistanta indigena kulturo. Li sage elektis la duan vojon. Lin helpis sindedicaj orientalistoj kiel, interalie, Charles Wilkins, Jonathan Duncan, Francis Gladwin, Sir William Jones, Henry Thomas Colebrooke, John Gilchrist kaj James Prinsep. La fondigo de la societo en 1784 kaj de la kolegio en 1800 montrigis gravaj impulsoj en la disvastigo inter kleruloj de hindaj indigenaj lingvoj, kiel ekzemple la bengala, la hindia au hindustana (la urdua), persa, araba kaj sanskrita. Instruado per indigenaj lingvoj en bengaliaj lernejoj pretigis la vojon por la Baptistaj misiistoj de la Misio Serampore kaj la "Evangelia" kristanigo de hindoj. Tio okazis antau tiam kiam Okcidenta scienca kaj literatura edukado pere de la angla esence frostigis la planojn de Hastings. Strange, tio kondukis al tiu angligo de Hindio fare de Macaulay kaj aliaj utilistoj, kio malhelpis la hindigadon, kiun markis la rego de la Orientindia Kompanio. La celoj de la du skoloj - hindigo de la brita administracio kaj okcidentigo de Hindio - estis preskaŭ identaj, sed la periloj malsimilis. Tiel la sanceliĝo inter partnereco kaj patroneco en la politiko de la Kompanio rilate la hindajn lingvojn daŭre restis temo de postaj literaturaj kaj lingvaj esploroj.
