The paper covers the ideas of hydroponics and organic farming while outlining their advantages and disadvantages in contemporary agriculture. It investigates how organic practices are aligned with hydroponic elements such as substrates, fertilizer solutions, pest and disease management. The paper explores ways to apply organic principles while taking into account economic factors, such as using organic sources of nutrients and bio-based pest control. In the study, organic and inorganic hydroponic systems are compared and discussed in terms of yield, quality, utilization of resources, and sustainability. Overall, the report emphasizes the potential advantages of combining hydroponic technology and organic farming methods, providing information for additional study and comprehension of sustainable crop production.","PeriodicalId":10730,"journal":{"name":"Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135569996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carrot is a globally important vegetable crop that provides essential bioactive constituents such as carotenoids, anthocyanins, and other phenolic compounds. Due to the presence of these compounds, carrot is considered as a functional food with potential health benefits for human. In the current investigation, carrot flour was used to create a instant carrot-sooji halwa mix. Carrot flour and semolina were combined to make halwa mix, which was then placed in pouches made of laminated aluminum and packed in the following ratios: 100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50. The functional characteristics of water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, swelling capacity bulk density, foam capacity and foam stability were assessed using accepted methods. Increased semolina inclusion with carrot flour resulted in a decrease in the functional qualities of the halwa mix, such as water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, swelling capacity, and bulk density. The cost of carrot-suji halwa mix of different treatments was observed highest for C100 followed by C90, C80, C70, and C60, and lowest for C50. The cost of halwa mix was decreased with an increase in the incorporation of semolina with carrot flour.","PeriodicalId":10730,"journal":{"name":"Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135616778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of this work is therefore to study the extent to which teachers’ commitment is influenced by Principals’ control mechanisms. The null and alternative hypotheses were articulated to answer this question. Some theories were used to give the problem a significant base. The study used data collected from principals and teachers of secondary schools and simple random sampling (SRS) and purposeful sampling techniques were used to obtain the sample size for principals and teachers in government secondary schools in the Bui Division. The quantitative and qualitative approaches were employed in data collection and analysis. In the quantitative approach, questionnaires were used while in the qualitative approach, we used interviews and observation guides. The findings showed that the principals’ control mechanisms affect teachers’ commitment in secondary schools. Statistically, the calculated value of the spearman correlation index of 0.796 was obtained with a p-value of 0.05. The alternative hypothesis was affirmed that principals’ control mechanisms significantly influence teachers’ commitment.

Next, we safeguard privacy through methods such as differential privacy protection, anonymization and pseudonymization of data. In addition, we insist on the integration of a browser monitoring module to detect any cheating during composition. In this article we partly present a system called \"GestStudent New Generation\" in which we integrate most of the security concepts to secure the whole system and guarantee privacy protection.

Bio-fertilizers combined with organic manure influences the plant growth by enhancing root biomass; total root surface facilitates higher absorption of nutrients and increase in yield by reducing consumption of natural sources of energy. In this experiment, various types of organic sources of nutrients (FYM, Poultry manure, Vermicompost and Sheep manure) and biofertilizers (Azotobacter, PSB and KSB) were evaluated in coloured capsicum under greenhouse conditions and their impact was studied on various physico-chemical properties of soil. Observations were recorded on various physical parameters like pH, soil EC, soil OC, soil bulk density, chemical parameters like available N, P, K and uptake of nutrient N, P and K. Data on various soil parameters revealed that T5 (75% vermicompost+ Azotobacter+ PSB+ KSB) significantly enhanced available soil nutrients and resulted in maximizing the nutrient status of the soil after the crop harvest. Highest available N (220.13kg/ ha), P (30.24kg/ ha), K (222.16kg/ ha) was recorded in treatment T5 and was found maximum as compared to all other treatments under study.
