In Traditional Greenhouses A field Research in Terms of Occupational Health and Safety (Antalya Example)

Although different levels of mechanization or automation systems are used in greenhouse cultivation depending on the infrastructure characteristics, there is an intensive use of human labor, especially for cultural operations. Therefore, the importance of occupational health and safety issues in greenhouse cultivation is increasing. Mechanization tools used, air conditioning systems, chemicals used, labour-intensive processes that require a certain muscle power and a certain posture during work, working at height, indoor air characteristics are among the main issues that need attention in terms of occupational health and safety. When the issues related to occupational health and safety in Turkey are examined, it is seen that studies have been carried out on different subjects such as working with agricultural machinery, chemical use, etc. However, it can be said that the studies on greenhouse cultivation are limited compared to other production branches. It is seen that the studies conducted consist of studies aimed at determining the situation in the form of field studies. Again, when the studies were examined, no study on indoor air in greenhouses, which is a closed environment, was found. In this study, it is aimed to examine the indoor air in terms of occupational health and safety in traditional greenhouses belonging to family businesses. In the study, the data were collected from 135 farmers in traditional greenhouses during the year and a questionnaire study was conducted in terms of occupational health and safety.

Implementation of the Principles of Material Legality in Law Enforcement in Indonesia

This research aims to research and analyze the implementation of the material legality principle in the Criminal Code to increase public awareness and legal compliance in Indonesia now and in the future. The research method used is normative juridical, using secondary data in the form of statutory regulations, and supported by primary data in the form of field research. The research results show that the implementation of the principle of material legality in law enforcement in Indonesia originates from the laws that exist in society. Formally, it is stated in Article 2 of Law No.1 of 2023 concerning the National Criminal Code, National Law Seminar I of 1963 in Semarang, Article 5 paragraph (1) of Law no. 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power, Article 5 paragraph (1) Law no. 2 of 2002 concerning the Police of the Republic of Indonesia, Article 8 paragraph (4) of Law No.11 of 2021 concerning Amendments to Law No.16 of 2004 concerning the Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Indonesia, but until now it is still very difficult to implement because it is still oriented in the WvS (Criminal Law Book) inherited from Dutch colonialism S. 1915:732 which still adheres to the Certainty (formal) model and is rigid in nature so that it cannot accommodate the values that live in Indonesian society . The implementation of the principle of material legality in law enforcement in Indonesia in the future must adhere to a balance model that is flexible or elastic so that it can accommodate the legal values that live in society as contained in Pancasila as an embodiment of Intellectual Philosophy, so that it can increase legal awareness and compliance in society.

Digital Anthropology Manifesto

The manifesto format was not chosen by chance. As a rule, manifestations are not acceptable in the scientific community and are practiced to proclaim a new order of things. Historically, social groups have declared their intentions in manifestos of various kinds. This circumstance is also true for contemporary cases such as manifestos of cyborgs, hackers, “Evolution 2045”, etc. Digital anthropology as a subject of manifestation looks anomalous, since it is not related to the interests of a specific social group or force. The intentions of the authors of this manifesto are to proclaim an alternative to the scientific research mainstream. The subject area and thesaurus of digital anthropology historically began to take shape in the Western countries. Due to qualitative and quantitative empirical research, the network has become a kind of analogue of a “field” for the study of behavioral practices, the specifics of thinking, and mythology that makes its way into virtual communication and Internet content. In an attempt to maintain ideological continuity with ethnographic and field research, digital anthropology ignored the conceptual and generalizing statement about a person. The latter was formed in the discourse of philosophical anthropology, not only a historical philosophical movement, but also a current field of knowledge that produces reflexive generalized knowledge about human beings. In the manifesto, the subject of digital anthropology is significantly clarified, and its definition is also given as a result of the reassembly of the subject.

Foliar inoculation of Phyllachora maydis into corn induces infection and local spread in field environments.

Tar spot of corn (Zea mays L.) is a significant disease in the United States and Canada caused by Phyllachora maydis, an obligate biotroph fungus. However, field research critical for understanding and managing the disease has been hindered by a need for methods to inoculate corn with P. maydis in field environments. In this study, we developed and demonstrated the efficacy of a method to initiate tar spot in field settings using inoculations of corn leaves with P. maydis inoculum that had been stored at -20 °C for 10 months. Stromata of P. maydis were observed 19 days after inoculations in two field experiments, and stromata resulting from secondary spread were initially observed 39 to 41 days after the initial inoculations. Tar spot was not present in the fields beyond the inoculated areas or localized spread area, signifying that the establishment of initial disease resulted solely from inoculations. This study enhances our understanding of inoculation and infection of corn with P. maydis and tar spot development in field environments. The results will aid new research into understanding the corn tar spot pathosystem and improving management strategies.

Analysis of Distribution and Marketing Efficiency of Pineapples from a Sharia Economic Perspective

The agricultural sector plays an important role in long-term economic development and rural economic recovery in Indonesia. The development of agricultural-based businesses and sustainable agricultural systems is needed to improve the quality of human resources and agricultural products. Horticultural commodities, such as fruit, have high economic potential and can be a source of income for farmers. However, there are several obstacles in the agricultural sector, such as competition with other horticultural products, low quality and quantity of local supplies, and a lack of transparent market information. In addition, distribution in Islam has principles that can be applied in the context of the distribution of wealth and economic resources in Islam, such as justice, equality, public benefits, prohibition of exploitation, and social solidarity. This research aims to analyze pineapple marketing distribution and pineapple marketing efficiency from a sharia economic perspective. The research method used is field research using primary and secondary data. The research results show that there are two marketing distribution channels that are used, namely marketing distribution channel I and marketing distribution channel II. Marketing distribution channel I involves farmers selling directly to the city without intermediaries, while marketing distribution channel II involves collectors buying from farmers and selling to the city.

Potassium and harvest time interaction effect on alfalfa production and profitability

AbstractResearchers have extensively studied and documented the effects of potassium (K) fertility on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Yet, additional research is needed to determine how interactions of K, cultivar, and harvest management influence the K needs of alfalfa. To explore these interactions, we conducted 5 years of field research at the University of Wyoming James C. Hageman Sustainable Agriculture Research and Extension Center in Lingle, WY. Treatments were (a) four K rates (0, 56, 112, and 168 kg K2O ha−1 year−1) applied before planting in the fall of 2016 and after the final harvest in the fall of 2017–2020, (b) two cultivars (Hi‐Gest 360 and AFX 457), and (c) two harvest times (early harvest, late bud to early [10%] bloom, and late harvest, 7 days after early harvest), arranged in a 4 × 2 × 2 factorial under random complete blocks with four replications. At 168 kg K2O ha−1 year−1 and early harvest, a consistently significant (p < 0.05) higher yield response was observed. The same response was seen at 112 kg K2O ha−1 year−1 and late harvest. This occurred at a site with moderate‐to‐high soil K levels throughout the study period. There was a linear (p < 0.001, R2 = 0.66) and quadratic (p = 0.006, R2 = 0.61) response of forage accumulation to K rate at early and late harvest, respectively. Similar trends were also seen for stem count, relative water content, root uptake of K, and tissue K. Time of harvest showed immense potential for optimizing K's effect for a consistent high‐yield response. However, fertilizing alfalfa with 112 kg K2O ha−1 year−1 gave the most profitable production under both harvest times. If K fertilizer prices drop over time, high profits could be attained with higher K fertilization rates. After 3 years of production, average forage accumulation increased under an early harvest system and decreased under a late harvest system. Growers in Wyoming and similar regions are encouraged to consider fertilizing alfalfa with moderate K rates (∼112 kg K2O ha−1 year−1) on soils testing moderate‐to‐high in soil test K, implement a late harvest system for the first 3 years after planting, and transition to an early harvest system after the initial 3 years to maximize alfalfa profits.
