Abstract: In addition to the Establishing the first unified empire in East Asia XiHuang (始皇) and HanFei (韩非) active political and military activities, WeiLiao (尉缭) had a great impact on the unification of the six countries of Qin in the late Zhanguo Period with his political purpose and concept of "XingDe (刑德)". This weiliao's military and political rule and its theory were the metric development that later brought about the legalization of territory and system and the perfection of Qin (秦) 18's legal system, which was the driving force for the development of science, technology and civilization. If can grasp the background of the pivotal figures and events in the history of the times and their causes, and rediscover the literature and artifacts with regional characteristics as a scene of a long history, the regions and their boundaries that can be seen in the whole map of the 21st century are not only the territorial boundaries divided and staged. As an integrated media of the behavior product of the human community, its epistemological objects, whether paper or digital, have a great impact on the globalization (the whole area) of the global village.

Abstract: Unequal plant stand and poor germination are major constraints in seeds under areas which receive erratic and low rainfall. Seed priming has emerged as a crucial strategy to enhance the biochemical, physiological, and ecological resilience of seeds and seedlings. Employing suitable priming methods at different developmental stages can significantly improve drought tolerance in plants. Research indicates that the primary factors leading to seed deterioration are the combined effects of low temperatures and moisture levels, which trigger abnormal biochemical and physiological responses. Seed priming techniques show promise due to their simplicity and adaptability in local agricultural practices. However, one of the challenges associated with primed seeds is their relatively short storage lifespan. This review aims to explore the biochemical, physiological, and molecular aspects of rice seed priming while proposing innovative techniques to extend seed longevity, improve stand establishment, and increase overall yield. Furthermore, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying seed priming can lead to the development of more effective priming protocols. This could ultimately contribute to sustainable agricultural practices in regions vulnerable to climate variability.

Abstract: This review evaluates the effects of different irrigation methods on coffee yield and water productivity (WP) in Ethiopia's Jimma and Wollega zones, aligning with global trends. Drip irrigation consistently results in the highest coffee yields, producing 3870 kg ha-1 in Jimma at Melko, a 48% increase over surface irrigation and a 142% increase over rainfed conditions. In East Wollega at Wayu, drip irrigation yields 2035 kg ha-1, 45% higher than surface irrigation and 213% higher than rainfed farming. Surface irrigation, although less efficient than drip, still offers significant improvements over rainfed methods, with cheery yields of 3000 kg ha-1 in Jimma at Melko, 2330 kg ha-1 in Jimma at Gera district, and 1402 kg ha-1 in West Wollega at Haru district, demonstrating increases of 63%, 48%, and 115%, respectively, over rainfed conditions. Rainfed agriculture consistently delivers the lowest yields, highlighting its vulnerability to water scarcity, with only 1600 kg ha-1 in Jimma at Melko and 650 kg ha-1 in West Wollega at Haru district. The review emphasizes the need for better irrigation and agronomic practices to boost productivity and climate resilience in Ethiopian coffee production. Drip irrigation also achieves the highest WP, with 0.38 kg m-³ in Jimma (Melko) and 0.17 kg m-³ in East Wollega (Wayu), surpassing the lower WP values of surface irrigation and rainfed methods. The findings advocate for more efficient irrigation techniques to enhance coffee yield and WP, in line with global practices.
