The Antioxidant Capacity of Monofloral Eucalyptus Flower Honey and Weed Honey Obtained from Jerash and Al-Zarqa Jordanian Governorates

Honey contains natural antioxidants that can help to get rid of free radicals and improve our health. The antioxidant capacity of honey is determined by its chemical makeup. The antioxidant capacity of Monofloral honey, including Eucalyptus flower honey and Weed honey obtained from different Jordanian governorates (Jerash and al-Zarqa) were examined using the phenolic contents (GAE), DPPH free radical scavenging test (%), and Ferric reducing/antioxidant power assay (FRAP). The Folin–Ciocalteu assay was used to assess the total phenol components in terms of the Gallic acid equivalent (GAE) in mg/g. Results showed that the Eucalyptus flower honey, and weeds honey both obtained from Jerash governorate followed by weeds honey obtained from Al-Zarqa governorate have the highest phenolic contents among the honey samples with the values of (10.6734 + 0.006) mg/g, (10.43889 + 0.012) mg/g and (10.1345+ 0.004) mg/g; respectively. The DPPH scavenging assay as compared to BHT scavenging (reference control) 59.61%, has demonstrated that the eucalyptus flower honey obtained from Al-Zarqa governorate and weeds honey obtained from Jerash governorate have exhibited the highest DPPH scavenging among honey samples with the values (12.8734+ 0.008)% and (11.5635+ 0.006)% respectively. Moreover, the reducing power tests of the reference compound ascorbic acid (0.751 mg/ml) have demonstrated that the weeds honey and eucalyptus honey both obtained from Jerash governorate have exhibited the highest reducing power with values of (15.8857+ 0.002) mg/ml and (16.8787+ 0.004) mg/ml respectively.

This study aimed to measure the adoption of integrated pest management techniques by fruit tree growers in Jerash Province of Jordan for diseases affecting their tree crops and to develop future visions for their development. The study was based on the collection of preliminary data via interview, using the questionnaire tool, and took a random sample of fruit tree farms from a total area of 3,822 dunums constituting 5.5% of the total area planted with fruit trees. This area is exploited by 70 growers distributed in the whole province. The results of the present study indicated that 88% of the respondents are educated and approximately 65.8% of growers have secondary and university graduates. Respondents used regularly the IPM was only 7.1%. The study showed that the most important diseases affecting fruit trees were fungal diseases, especially powdery mildew, leaves curl, and eyes of peacocks, which are considered the most dangerous diseases of trees limiting production quantities and more expensive as a result of repeated application of pesticides. The five-grade Lekert scale was used for evaluation; "always" was given five degrees and "never" represent one degree for the positive answers, while the scoring was reversible to the negative responses; "never" was given one score, and "always "was given five degrees. This scale covered twenty-four actions done by the growers to protect their trees. Alpha Kronbach Coefficient was 0.78, reflecting the internal consistency of the study scale. In the current study descriptive statistics methods such as repetitions, percentages and arithmetic averages, and standard deviation were used to analyze the data statistically. According to Leckert scale, items 5-21 gave a mathematical average of 1.96-3.5, and 35.7% of the respondents know what the concept of integrated control is? and this shows that the respondents did not use any of the methods of IPM. 35.7% of the information about IPM is obtained by the farmer from the Ministry of Agriculture, the Colleges of Agriculture, and the NNARC. This study recommends new legislation to regulate the effectiveness, impact, and duration of pesticide use, and support the use of IPM inputs to combat the development of a national guidance program to adopt the use of IPM across Jordan and to create marketing incentives for IPM produced by the IPM-adopted growers.

Spatial mapping of landslide susceptibility in Jerash governorate of Jordan using genetic algorithm-based wrapper feature selection and bagging-based ensemble model

This study employs five genetic algorithm (GA)-based machine learning (ML) models, namely the Decision Tree (DT), k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), NaïveBayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), to build a novel ensemble algorithm that is founded on the Bagging method for landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) in Jerash Governorate, north of Jordan. The GA-based wrapper feature selection (FS) was done based on the five individual models and in the initial stages of modeling, an inquiry for the best feature for each of the five models was made. Finally, five hybrid models, namely DT-GA, kNN-GA, NB-GA, SVM-GA, and ELM-GA were constructed and combined to create Bagging-based ensemble model. The FS outcomes uncovered that rainfall depth, distance to roads, the Stream Power Index, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, slope, geology, and aspect are the most influential determinants of landslides. After the significant variables were identified, they were selected as input predictors and entered into the models. GA-based Bagging ensemble model with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.85 achieved the highest accuracy in the validation run, followed by SVM-GA (AUROC = 0.80), NB-GA (AUROC = 0.76), DT-GA (AUROC = 0.72), kNN-GA (AUROC = 0.70), and ELM-GA (AUROC = 0.48).
