Identifying and Ranking the Challenges and Strategies of Academic Resilience based on the Integration of Thematic analysis and the House of quality by Dariush Mohamadi Zanjirani, Shahla Shahpari

“…The findings regarding the significance of challenges to academic resilience indicate that "family problems" emerged as the most critical factor influencing the academic resilience of literate people aged 49 and older, given its highest weight among the identified themes. Consequently, it is recommended that officials involved in the Literacy Movement allocate resources for family counseling for literate students, as identified by the course instructors, during the implementation of literacy programs.The ranking results of the resilience packages indicate that, following psychological and family counseling for literate students, the resilience package centered on "establishing material and spiritual incentives" received the highest impact score of 5.427 among the primary themes. …”

Acclimation of Ecophysiological and Agronomic Traits to Increasing Growth Temperature in Three Cowpea Genotypes Grown in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka by Imanthi Wijayaraja, Malika Piyarathne, Thilakshi Alahakoon, Udeni Devasinghe, Lasantha Weerasinghe, Dushan Kumarathunge, Dharmasiri Dissanayake, Chaminda Egodawatta, Nalaka Geekiyanage

“…The total yield per hectare showed an average decrease of 16%, 17%, and 22% in the Dhawala, Waruni, and MI-35 genotypes at high average growth temperature, respectively. These reductions were associated with the reduction in the number of seeds per pod, hundred seed weight, and number of pods per plant, suggesting that there could be an among-genotype variation in flower abscission, fertilization, and biomass partitioning during the season in which the average growth temperature was high. …”
