Provincialising Heidegger; Globalising Arendt

Abstract Abstract: Dipesh Chakrabarty’s Provincializing Europe uses Martin Heidegger’s Being-with to ground his defence of a decolonial historiography. In this essay I show that Heidegger’s broader aims within Being and Time nullify Chakrabarty’s hopes for recovering fragile political spaces. In contrast to Heidegger, I propose Hannah Arendt’s writings on Jewish politics as an alternative for students of decolonisation. Arendt’s focus on plurality and new beginnings complement Chakrabarty’s critiques of historicism and political belonging in a way that more fully realises the broader ambitions of Provincializing Europe

Collision Avoider Using Lane Departure Warning

Abstract- Today, one of the largest areas of research and development in the automobile industry is road safety. Many deaths and injuries occur every year on public roads from accidents that technology could have been used to prevent. The latest vehicles sold boast many safety features that have helped to lower the number of accidents on the roads. Even today, a person has to manually monitor the vehicles coming from behind through their rear view mirrors and any sort of mistake while monitoring can lead to fatal accidents. Several systems for Obstacle Detection and assist are present namely Lane Departure Warning, Reverse Assist, Drift assist, Blind Spot Monitoring etc

Genetic Divergence Studies in Tomato Genotypes Grown under Low-Cost Polyhouse Conditions

Assessment of genetic diversity was made for sixteen yields and yield contributing traits in twenty-one tomato genotypes using D2 statistics. These genotypes were grouped into five clusters by the use of the Tocher method. Cluster I was the most significant, comprising 13 genotypes (Pusa Ruby, CLN2123A1 Red, PKM-1, IIHR-2042, Marglobe, EC 163605, Hawaii 7998, Palam Pink, EC 521038, Punjab Rakthak, EC 163383, Arka Abha and IIVR BT-10) followed by Cluster II  with 5 genotypes (EC 163611, Punjab Sartaj, EC 160885, Punjab Barkha Bahar  and Roma). Other Clusters (II, IV and V) were solitary ones (EC 249515, Kashi Chayan, DVRT-2). Cluster II recorded a maximum intra cluster distance of 3521.73 followed by cluster I (2796.45), whereas, cluster II, IV and V had zero intra cluster distance. The inter cluster D2 value also ranged widely, with a minimum value of 4082.34 between cluster I and IV, indicating a close relationship among the genotypes included. The maximum inter cluster D2 value (23102.20) between cluster II and V indicates high diversity among the genotypes in the clusters. Hence,   maximum contribution towards divergence was observed by average fruit weight (14%) followed by fruit set percentage (12%), number of flowers per cluster (8%), fruit yield per plant (7%), number of fruits per truss (6 %) and total soluble solid content (6 %). Hence, due importance could be given to the selection of genotypes for further improvement based on these traits

Effect of GA3 and Potassium on Growth and Yield in Red Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) under Subtropical Conditions of Jammu

An experiment was carried out at Vegetable Experimental Farm, Division of Vegetable Science, SKUAST Jammu during Rabi season of 2022-2023. The experiment was laid out under factorial RBD design with three replications comprising of sixteen treatments. The treatments consisted of four doses of Potassium i.e., 40, 50, 60 and 70 kg/ha and four concentrations viz. 0,100,200 and 300 ppm of GA3. The growth and yield parameters maximum viz. shoot length (34.15 cm), root length (18.73 cm), number of leaves/root (14.30), root weight (220.49 g), shoot weight (119.47 g), root- shoot ratio (2.04), fresh root shoot yield (112.42 q/ha) were recorded with 200 ppm GA3 application. Similarly, highest shoot length (29.06 cm), root length (17.53 cm), number of leaves/root (11.18), root weight (171.67 g), shoot weight (104.84 g), root-shoot ratio (1.87), fresh root shoot yield (92.31 q/ha), were recorded with 50kg/ha K2O application. However; highest root length (19.20 cm), number of leaves/root (14.87), root weight (226.14 g), shoot weight (123.54 g), root-shoot ratio (2.10), fresh root shoot yield (115.90 q/ha) were recorded with treatment combination G3K2 (200 ppm GA3 + 50 K2O/ha). Based on the investigation, it can be concluded that the application of 200 ppm GA3 at 30 days after sowing with 50 kg potassium/ha resulted in the highest growth parameters and yield

Heritability Analysis for Horticultural Traits in Tomato under Low Cost Polyhouse Conditions of Jammu Subtropics

Biometrical assessment of genetic parameters for horticultural traits in tomato under Low Cost Polyhouse Conditions of Jammu Subtropics divulged minute differences among GCV and PCV, indicating less environmental influences on the traits under consideration. High heritability & genetic gain were noticed for important yield and yield contributing traits viz., yield per plant (99.91% & 75.28%), fruit weight (99.42% & 74.91%), fruit equatorial diameter (99.15% & 50.08%), no. of fruits per plant (98.61% & 66.70%), no. of flowers per cluster (98.27% & 55.48%), plant height (93.27% & 46.86%), number of fruits per truss (96.17% & 44.66%), number of branches per plant (96.43% & 37.98%), fruit polar diameter (83.06% & 38.40%) and quality traits viz., lycopene content (98.69% & 98.97%),TSS (97.37% & 39.82%) and fruit pericarp thickness (83.20% & 35.21%). High heritability combined with high genetic gain suggests a significant role for additive gene action in regulating these traits and suggests using simple selection as a breeding method to improve these traits
