Uzbek agricultural discourse generates large volumes of diverse text—farm reports, agronomic recommendations, news, tenders, regulations, and field trial records—but much of the practical information remains narrative. This study examines named entity recognition for this Uzbek language and how to improve extraction quality after standardization of the script. The authors constructed a corpus of 8,700 sentences extracted from farm/agribusiness reports and industry news and introduced a domain-specific taxonomy of 13 classes (PER, ORG, LOC, DATE, LAW/DOC, CROP, PEST, DISEASE, CHEMICAL, EQUIP, WATER_OBJECT, SOIL, MEASURE), annotated using BIOES. The study proposes a lightweight alphabetic standardization pipeline that unifies scripts, normalizes apostrophes and digraphs (g’/o’, sh/ch/ng), preserves hyphens across domains, and processes measurement patterns (e.g., kg/ha, l/ha) as atomic tokens. Three model families were compared using a unified training protocol with early stopping and identical data splits: BiLSTM-CRF with character features, mBERT+CRF, and the parametrically efficient T5 (LoRA). The results show that alphabetic standardization is a first-order factor for Uzbek NER, while encoder-based and seq2seq-based architectures are viable when fed normalized text. Furthermore, domain-aware tokenization and recommendations significantly reduce boundary errors.

This work summarizes the evaluation results of chromium compensated GaAs sensors manufactured by Advafab and evaluated with different photon counting readout electronics. Recently Advafab has fabricated GaAs diode and pixel sensors on 3” wafers with 1-, 1.5 - and 2-mm thicknesses. Diode measurement results present an analytical evaluation of charge transport properties of different thicknesses of GaAs and their spectral response to Alpha and Gamma radiation. Flip chip bonded pixel sensor assemblies were evaluated to study uniformity; sensor stability; energy resolution; charge transport properties and high X-ray flux operation. The presentation covers pixel sensor performance, properties and differences of the chromiumcompensated GaAs of different thicknesses and their usability in photon counting applications.

The world is facing a biggest threat of salinity that are causing a severe reduction in crops growth and yield. In order to appraise this salinization an experiment in hydroponic was executed in the year 2022 with eleven (11) genotypes of soybean sown under the stress induced by salts. Raised nursery plants of soybean were shifted to metal tub having 200 Liters solution of Hoagland and plants were kept in solution for a period of two weeks. Treatments structure was consisted of different concentrations of NaCl alone and with mixing of both NaCl and KNO3. NaCl levels were kept 0.0 mM, 60 mM and 120 mM, respectively, while mixing of NaCl with KNO3 were kept as 60 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) with 6 mM potassium nitrate, 60 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) with 09 mM potassium nitrate (KNO3), 120 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) with 6 mM potassium nitrate (KNO3) and 120 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) with 09 mM potassium nitrate (KNO3), and these levels were distributed in each tub. A significant decrease in parameters of growth along with in ions up-taking, H2O balance and gas exchange were recorded in treatment structure. Least reduction was recorded in control treatment compared with highest reduction in 120 mM NaCl+09 mM KNO3 treatment application trailed by where only 120 mM NaCl was applied. It was found that genotypes No. 62 and No. 13 exhibited most tolerance to salts and Ajmeri and William-82 as most sensitive to salts stress. It was also noted that by using KNO3 in salt media enabled plants to alleviate the salt stress, however, best salt stress alleviation was observed at higher dose of potassium nitrate use in the growing media.

Moringa oleifera is also known as miracle tree because of it’s nutritional and physiological benefits. In this research, structural and biochemical characterization of Moringa oleifera’s extracts and nanoparticles were done. n-hexane, methanolic and aqueous extract of M. oleifera was prepared by microwave assisted method. The obtained percentage yield of methanolic extract was the highest (8.86%). Chitosan based nanoparticles of methanolic extract was prepared by ionic gelation method that was almost 100nm in size with positive charge on it. Biochemical characterization was assessed by antioxidant (total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and DPPH radical scavenging assay), anti-diabetic (alpha amylase inhibition assay), cytotoxic (percentage hemolysis) and anti-inflammatory (albumin denaturation method) activities. One-way ANOVA was used for the analysis of data. In comparison between extracts and nanoparticles, it was observed that nanoparticles were less toxic (1.99±0.86%) and showed higher antioxidant (65.67±0.26%), anti-diabetic (85.87±6.64%) and anti-inflammatory potential (83.55±0.76%). Different functional groups were identified by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy such as primary and secondary amines, amides, carboxylic acid, alkanes, aldehyde, alkene, alcohol, ether, ester and sulphates. High performance liquid chromatography confirmed the presence of kaempherol, p-coumaric acid, salicylic acid and chlorogenic acid.

Methane release is considered to be from human activities, Arctic Ocean, and the terrestrial regions such as wetland, lakes, geological seeps in the Arctic although glaciers have not been considered a source of methane emissions. A large amount of methane has been observed at the terminus of large glaciers and ice sheet, associated with methane-saturated meltwater runoff. We observed several glaciers in Alaska and found methane emissions from the runoff water of the small mountain glaciers.The observation periods, which was the beginning of the ablation season for the glacier, were June 12-14, 2022, and June 3-9, 2023. We measured methane and CO2 concentrations in ambient air over the water with a portable gas analyzer G4301 (Picarro, Inc.). Dissolved methane concentrations in runoff water were measured using the method of Morishita et al. (2015).The maximum methane concentration in the ambient air near the runoff water was higher than the background level, and the concentration decreased as the gas analyzer moved away from the tunnel. The dissolved methane concentration in runoff water was saturated. These results suggest that the high concentration methane observed in the ambient air near the glacier terminus was released from the runoff water saturated by methane underneath of the glaciers. This study was supported by ArCSII project (JPMXD1420318865).

Wer ohne gültigen Fahrschein öffentliche Verkehrsbetriebe benutzt, hat den eigentlichen Fahrpreis und den sog. Zuschlag zu bezahlen. Wer dies wiederholt tut, muss auch noch eine Staffelungsgebühr entrichten. Daneben ist auch eine strafrechtliche Ahndung möglich. Die Verkehrsbetriebe haben die Möglichkeit, die mit dem Schwarzfahren zusammenhängenden Forderungen im Strafverfahren geltend zu machen. Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit der Frage, ob es sich bei diesen regelmässig geltend gemachten Forderungen um adhäsionsfähige Zivilforderungen im Sinne der Strafprozessordnung handelt. Diese Frage hat in der Praxis Relevanz, zumal seit dem 1. Januar 2024 auch im Strafbefehlsverfahren bei gegebenen Voraussetzungen über Zivilforderungen entschieden werden kann respektive muss. -- Les personnes utilisant les transports publics sans titre de transport valable sont tenues de payer le prix du billet, accompagné d'un supplément. En cas de récidive, elles s'exposent à une amende progressive. Une sanction pénale peut également être prononcée. Les entreprises de transport ont la possibilité de faire valoir les créances liées à la fraude dans le cadre de la procédure pénale. Cet article examine si ces créances, régulièrement invoquées, peuvent être considérées comme des créances civiles susceptibles d'adhésion au sens du code de procédure pénale. Cette question revêt une importance pratique, d'autant plus que, depuis le 1er janvier 2024, le ministère public peut, voire doit, statuer sur les prétentions civiles par ordonnance pénale lorsque les conditions légales sont remplies.

Por que entender a centralidade da política atualmente? Será que a dimensão da política, diante da crise estrutural do capital, com a institucionalização do Estado capitalista reprodutor de formas de trabalho alienadas e estranhado e de processos formativos fetichizados não está a garantir as condições de (re) produção do capitalismo financeiro? Nossa hipótese é que a gênese, natureza e desenvolvimento das condições de emancipação social dos trabalhadores no interior da sociedade capitalista, em especial no domínio da formação do trabalho migrante, fora descolada de outras dimensões humana e social, e que esta forma política adquiriu um fim em si mesmo. Nesse sentido os processos sociais históricos forjadores de contraespaços coletivos de emancipação humana são esvaziados restando unicamente à manutenção de conquistas, garantia de direitos e no limite processos de resistências. É preciso salientar, antes que nos acusem de dogmáticos ou coisas do tipo, que não se trata de negação da dimensão da política no espaço, mas de pensa-la enquanto momento na construção de condições concretas e subjetivas de práticas e dinâmicas sócio-espaciais capazes de forjar saídas à humanidade do atual quadro de barbárie, coisificação e reificação sociais em que nos encontramos. Uma segunda pergunta sintoma da primeira questão: o que explica razoável ausência de estudos que leve em conta as dimensões do trabalho e da formação humana em articulação no conhecimento geográfico?Nesse momento inicial de revisão bibliográfica nossa preocupação não é mostrar resultados ou conclusões, mas aproximação aos sujeitos bem como a elaboração de objetivos da pesquisa o que por si só já coloca-nos desafios.

The red palm weevil is a very destructive pest that poses a significant threat to palm weevil trees worldwide larvae of the weevil make holes up to 1 meter in plants and the host is killed which causes a great reduction in economy every year. If control is delayed the possibility to destroy of whole orchard of dates by weevil. Nowadays many chemicals are used to control the red palm weevil which is less effective and ecologically not good long residual effect excessive of chemical affect the quality and quantity of dates. We use the serial dilution of bifenthrin to control the red palm weevil. In this case, the concentration of bifenthrin is high to low which is ecologically friendly, and less residual effect of the concentration affects the mortality of red palm weevil. The serial was applied to date palm weevil and the mortality rate was recorded after a specific period the laboratory demography of bifenthrin killed 80 % population of weevil. The purpose of the study is to control the date palm weevil by an efficient method and this research paper aims to investigate the result of serial dilution of bifenthrin to control the date palm weevil with less residual effect. Our research recommends that the field use the serial dilution of bifenthrin to control the weevil with friendly ecology and provide the strength to bifenthrin to kill the date palm weevil with less residual effect.
