Abstract:
Cereal crop seed priming, particularly for rice and wheat, has been shown to be more effective in reducing the negative impacts of unfavorable weather conditions. In addition to improving crop establishment, pre-germinated seeds and seed priming boost yield, increase competitiveness against weeds, and eliminate the need for expensive resowing. In order to investigate the impact of the seed priming technique on wheat yield and yield-attributing characteristics, a field experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Research Station, Kimugaun, Dailekh, during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 growing seasons. In 2016-17, the treatment that used pure water for 8 hours for seed priming had significantly higher yield (5.4 t/ha) compared to seed priming with urea for 8 hours (4.9 t/ha). Similarly, seed priming with pure water for 8 hours resulted in a significantly higher weight for 1000 grain (57.3 g), followed by seed priming with urea for 16 hours (56.0 g). However, in 8-hour seed priming (with both pure water and urea) and 16-hour seed priming with urea, early heading at 105 days after sowing (DAS) was noted. After 16 hours of urea priming and 24 hours of pure water seed priming, a noticeably early heading within 106 DAS and 107 DAS was noted in 2017–18. However, the highest grain yield (5.7 t/ha) was seen after 8 hours of seed priming with pure water, and 5.6 t/ha after 16 hours of seed priming with pure water. The results of a two-year study showed that seed priming increased wheat yields when compared to dry seed sowing, and that priming with pure water for eight hours was more productive than either no priming, urea priming, or priming for a longer period of time. For its use on late-sown wheat, where it can promote early heading and lessen the impact of force maturity issues, more field testing is required.

Abstract:
In this experiment, the primary goal is to investigate the free vibration characteristics of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) mechanical system. The objectives include determining the system natural frequency, damping ratio, and analyzing its transient behavior during free vibrations. We employ a combination of theoretical analysis, numerical simulations using Simulink, and experimental observations to achieve these objectives. Numerical results provide insights into the dynamic response, revealing critical system behaviors such as damping effects. The discussion contextualizes the findings within the realm of mechanical engineering principles, emphasizing practical implications. In conclusion, this study offers an understanding of SDOF system dynamics, with applications in engineering design and analysis.

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to assess the commissioning accuracy of Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and RapidArc from a Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator, with a procedure guided by protocols established in American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 119. Dosimetric accuracy has been verified in 6 MV photon beams in various testcases: a mock prostate, a mock head/neck, a multi-target, and a C-shape. Confidence Limits (CLs) were determined for both point dose measurements and gamma analysis to assess the agreement between planned and measured doses. The results indicated that CLs for both IMRT and Rapid Arc (RA) are within the acceptable limits according to TG-119, thus confirming the accuracy and reliability of the treatment planning system and dosimetry equipment. The aim of this study was to extend the scope of the TG-119 protocol to include RA delivery-a comprehensive evaluation of the accuracy of dosimetric commissioning for modern radiotherapy techniques.

Abstract:
This study examines the relationship between interest rates and the stock markets of ASEAN member countries over ten years, from January 2013 to December 2023. The results of the correlation study revealed that the Lao People Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore had positive coefficients, whereas Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam had negative ones. The Ordinary Least Squares estimate showed that only Lao PDR had statistically significant results, with interest rates predicting broader stock market performance. Both the One-Way Fixed Effects and Random Effects Regression yielded insignificant results, implying insufficient evidence to conclude that interest rates had a meaningful impact on stock market performance.

Abstract:
Through a synthesis of scholarly viewpoints and empirical findings, the paper offers insights into the persuasive strategies employed through the use of the first singular and plural personal pronouns and the second personal pronouns as the pragmatic address forms by Joe Biden. It analyzes the pragmatic functions of the address forms Joe Biden used in his Presidential Inaugural Speech in light of the theories of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Aristotles Persuasion Appeals. With a focus on their roles in fostering unity, responsibility, and audience engagement, the analysis deals with how Biden strategically deploys these address forms to enhance persuasion and shape public perception. Based on the methodology of discourse analysis, the study finds out a close correlation of individual agency and collective responsibility as Biden handles the complexities of political discourse.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a symmetrical short circuit current calculation algorithm in power systems transmission lines. The method consists of adding a fictitious node in the power system, located at the point where it is required to calculate the fault in the transmission line, and is defined as a percentage taking as a reference the line sending node. Once the fault point is specified, the systematic fault analysis of the power system is carried out using the Z-bar matrix. The algorithms reliability and accuracy are demonstrated through a case study with a 5-node test power system and a real equivalent system of 39 nodes. The results of the study cases show that the proposed algorithm is reliable and accurate for calculating or simulating symmetrical faults in power systems transmission lines.

Abstract:
Infertility is a significant issue affecting around 48 million couples worldwide. It raises key concerns in reproductive biology, particularly regarding the influence of psychological stress on conception rates. Individuals facing fertility challenges often experience intense emotional strain, heightening the risk of psychological complications. Stress and infertility mutually reinforce each other, with stress playing a substantial role in causing infertility. Furthermore, infertility treatments can exacerbate stress levels, leading to poorer treatment outcomes. The biological link between stress and infertility primarily involves hormonal mechanisms in the brain, particularly impacting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which influences reproductive hormone secretion and pregnancy success. Sex hormones are essential in both reproductive health and overall physiological processes, facilitating the necessary conditions for pregnancy. This review investigates how stress impairs reproductive success and the role of sex hormones in infertility. Additionally, it outlines methods for managing stress and discusses situations that may induce stress.

Abstract:
Edamame soybeans are a type of soybean that originates from Japan and has been cultivated in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of LOF of golden apple snails and oil palm bunch ash on edamame soybean yields and C-Organic content in Inceptisols. The research method used a factorial randomized block design repeated three times. The first factor was Golden snail LOF (K) which was arranged in four levels, namely 0 mL/polybag (K0), 100 mL/polybag (K1), 200 mL/polybag (K2), and 300 mL/polybag (K3). The second factor was oil palm bunch ash (A) which was arranged in four levels, namely 0 g/polybag (A0), 50 g/polybag (A1), 100 g/polybag (A2), and 150 g/polybag (A2). The results of the study showed that feeding with LOF golden snails and oil palm bunch ash can increase the growth and yield of edamame soybean plants as well as the organic C content of inceptisol soil.
