Introduction: One of the goals of WHO formulated at the Atlanta meeting in 1978 was to achieve health for all by 2000. The purpose of this study is to describe the factors that influence the level of mother’s knowledge regarding basic immunization. Methods: The research was conducted in January - February 2020 in the Dahlia Health Center in Makassar. The sample was 80 mothers whose babies were immunized at the Dahlia Health Center. A purposive sampling method was used. The data collection method used was a survey questionnaire that was distributed to respondents. The data analysis used was a univariate data analysis using the SPSS. Results: The largest subjects were senior high school education and the smallest subjects were university education. Most of the subjects were housewives or unemployed (75%) and the least of the subjects were civil servants (3.75%). Most subjects in this study were aged 21-35 years old (53.75%) and the least subjects were under 20 years old (15%). All respondents were Muslim (100%). Most of the family environment factors that their family did not accompany them for immunization (53.75%) and community environmental factors that around people brought their children for immunization (100%). Conclusion: All factors of this study affect the mother’s knowledge but we can conclude that the most role influence of factors to knowledge mother were environment and religion.
Large-Scale Laboratory Experiments on Mussel Dropper Lines in Ocean Surface Waves

The rapid growth of marine aquaculture around the world accentuates issues of sustainability and environmental impacts of large-scale farming systems. One potential mitigation strategy is to relocate to more energetic offshore locations. However, research regarding the forces which waves and currents impose on aquaculture structures in such conditions is still scarce. The present study aimed at extending the knowledge related to live blue mussels (Mytilus edulis), cultivated on dropper lines, by unique, large-scale laboratory experiments in the Large Wave Flume of the Coastal Research Center in Hannover, Germany. Nine-months-old live dropper lines and a surrogate of 2.0 m length each are exposed to regular waves with wave heights between 0.2 and 1.0 m and periods between 1.5 and 8.0 s. Force time histories are recorded to investigate the inertia and drag characteristics of live mussel and surrogate dropper lines. The surrogate dropper line was developed from 3D scans of blue mussel dropper lines, using the surface descriptor Abbott–Firestone Curve as quality parameter. Pull-off tests of individual mussels are conducted that reveal maximum attachment strength ranges of 0.48 to 10.55 N for mussels that had medium 3.04 cm length, 1.60 cm height and 1.25 cm width. Mean drag coefficients of CD = 3.9 were found for live blue mussel lines and CD = 3.4 for the surrogate model, for conditions of Keulegan–Carpenter number (KC) 10 to 380, using regular wave tests.

Expression of the Thermobifida fusca β-1,3-Glucanase in Yarrowia lipolytica and Its Application in Hydrolysis of β-1,3-Glucan from Four Kinds of Polyporaceae

The gene encoding a thermostable β-1,3-glucanase was cloned from Thermobifida fusca and expressed constitutively by Yarrowia lipolytica using plasmid pYLSC1. The expression level of the recombinant β-1,3-glucanase reached up to 270 U/mL in the culture medium. After a treatment with endo-β-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase H, the recombinant protein appeared as a single protein band, with a molecular size of approximately 66 kDa on the SDS-polyacrylamide gel. The molecular weight was consistent with the size predicted from the nucleotide sequence. The optimum temperature and pH of the transformant β-1,3-glucanase were 60 °C and pH 8.0, respectively. This β-1,3-glucanase was tolerant to 10% methanol, ethanol, and DMSO, retaining 70% activity. The enzyme markedly hydrolyzed Wolfiporia cocos and Pycnoporus sanguineus glucans. The DPPH and ABTS scavenging potential, reducing power and total phenolic contents of these two Polyporaceae hydrolysates, were significantly increased after 18 h of the enzymatic reaction. The present results indicate that T. fusca β-1,3-glucanase from Y. lipolytica transformant (pYLSC1-13g) hydrolyzes W. cocos and P. sanguineus glucans and improves the antioxidant potential of the hydrolysates.
Naming and describing the diversity in the Usnea cornuta aggregate (lichenized Ascomycota, Parmeliaceae) focusing on Brazilian specimens

This study is a reassessment of the Usnea cornuta aggregate diversity mainly in Brazil. Based on previous multi-locus species delimitation analyses using the multispecies coalescent model (MSC), we carried out a posteriori morphological and anatomical studies. The following corticolous new species are described: Usnea arianae with norstictic or fatty or lobaric acids, convex and efflorescent soralia and a lax medulla; U. flabelliformis with protocetraric acid, fan-shaped main branches and a high medulla/cortex ratio; U. rubropallens with protocetraric acid and a faint orange cortical/subcortical pigment; U. stipitata with constictic acid, stipitate soralia and a high medulla/cortex ratio; and U. tenuicorticata with protocetraric acid, a thin cortex and a high medulla/cortex ratio. The newly described species were found to occur so far only in the Americas, except U. arianae which shows an amphi-atlantic distribution in Europe and on the American continent. Seven species already described belonging to the U. cornuta aggr. in Brazil are further treated here: Usnea boomiana with caperatic acid and large, concave soralia, new to South America; U. brasiliensis with protocetraric acid, minute and irregular soralia; U. cornuta with mainly salazinic acid and minute soralia fusing into consoralia; U. macaronesica (syn. nov.: U. subglabrata) with barbatic acid, large excavate soralia and a lax medulla; Usnea subpectinata, a so far european species resurrected from the U. cornuta synonymy, with stictic acid and numerous isidiofibrils, new to South America; and U. trachyclada with thamnolic acid and K+ bright yellow stipitate soralia. Full descriptions with morphological, anatomical and chemical features, geographical distributions, and illustrations are provided for each species along with an identification key.
Business Vulnerability and Credit Access for Agriculture-Based Micro and Small Women Entrepreneurs

Micro and Small Industries (MSIs) constitute the largest share of Indonesia’s manufacturing sector and play an important role in providing employment opportunities and value-added creation. However, their business sustainability and scaling up are often hindered by various factors, one of which is access to credit. The subsidized loan scheme provided by the government, namely People’s Business Credit (KUR), appears to be insufficiently attractive to entrepreneurs, especially to Micro and Small Women Entrepreneurs (MSWEs). Employing a logit regression method and utilizing the BPS-Statistics Indonesia’s 2015 MSI survey data, this study aims to investigate factors affecting MSWEs’ decision to apply for bank loans and factors contributing to the approval of their credit applications by banks. The results show that MSWEs have low participation in credit borrowing, partially due to business vulnerability and self-rationing attitude, while credit application rejection is caused mainly by banks’ conservative approach to MSWEs. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.
Elimination of Microplastics by Downstream Sand Filters in Wastewater Treatment

The elimination of microplastic particles (MPP) and microplastic fibers (MPF) was investigated in the final treatment stage (sand filtration) in two municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and the final treatment stage (sand filtration) at a process WWTP of a manufacturer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). At each sampling site, three samples on three different days were taken (before/after sand filtration). The samples were filtered through a 10 μm stainless steel cartridge filter utilizing a stainless steel centrifugal pump. Microplastics (MP) were separated from the wastewater matrix by oxidative treatment and density separation and analyzed by Raman microspectroscopy. Due to precautionary measures, procedural blanks were very low with a mean number of 4.3 ± 2.7 MPP and 0.88 ± 0.56 MPF within eight blank samples. The municipal WWTPs were able to eliminate 99.2% ± 0.29% and 99.4% ± 0.15% of MP in the sand filtration stage. The sand filtration of a PVC manufacturer eliminated 99.2%–99.9%.
Development of Frequency Weighted Model Reduction Algorithm with Error Bound: Application to Doubly Fed Induction Generator Based Wind Turbines for Power System

The state-space representations grant a convenient, compact, and elegant way to examine the induction and synchronous generator-based wind turbines, with facts readily available for stability, controllability, and observability analysis. The state-space models are used to look into the functionality of different wind turbine technologies to fulfill grid code requirements. This paper deals with the model order reduction of the Variable-Speed Wind Turbines model with the aid of improved stability preserving a balanced realization algorithm based on frequency weighting. The algorithm, which is in view of balanced realization based on frequency weighting, can be utilized for reducing the order of the system. Balanced realization based model design uses a full frequency spectrum to perform the model reduction. However, it is not possible practically to use the full frequency spectrum. The Variable-Speed Wind Turbines model utilized in this paper is stable and includes various input-output states. This brings a complicated state of affairs for analysis, control, and design of the full-scale system. The proposed work produces steady and precise outcomes such as in contrast to conventional reduction methods which shows the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.
Response of soybean (Glycine max L.) to application of lime and phosphate fertilizer in an acid soil of western Kenya

The effect of combining lime and phosphate fertilizer on the performance of soybean (Glycine max L.) was investigated in a pot experiment consisting of nine treatments of three rates of lime (0, 4 and 8 t ha−1) in a factorial combination with three rates of phosphorus (0, 15, and 30 kg P ha−1) at Maseno University in western Kenya. There was a significant interaction between the lime and phosphorus rate on the biomass dry weight of soybean. At the rates of 0 and 4 t ha-1 of lime, the biomass dry weight of soybean increased with increasing rates of phosphorus but at 8 t ha-1 of lime, the dry weight of soybean increased from 0 to 15 kg P ha-1 but declined at 30 kg P ha-1. There was however no significant interaction between lime and P rates on grain weight but the effects of both P and lime rate were significant. When applied without lime, 30 kg P ha-1 gave significantly higher grain (5.3 g pot-1) weight than 15 kg P ha-1 (1.6 g pot-1) of soybean, which was also significantly better than the control (0.0 g pot-1). When applied without phosphorus, both lime rates at 4 and 8 t ha−1 significantly increased grain weights of soybean compared to the control, but the grain weights of soybean between the two lime rates did not differ significantly. The highest yields of soybean were obtained when 4 t ha−1 of lime was applied with 30 kg P ha−1 (19 g pot-1). Therefore, this study demonstrates that the ameliorating deleterious effects of soil acidity through liming should simultaneous be accompanied by application of P fertilizer at appropriate rates.
Growth response and cost benefits of growing pigs to different herbal-mix feed additives and weight asymmetry

This study was carried out to investigate growth performance and cost benefits of growing pigs on different herbal-mix feed additives and weight asymmetry. Fifty-four, 8 weeks old Large White breed of pigs with an average body weight of 15.33±0.2 kg were randomly assigned to nine treatments with each treatment consisting of three replicates of two pigs each. Three diets containing different herbal-mix (Control diet without herbal-mix, moringa-basil meal diet, neem-basil meal diet) were formulated and fed to the pigs for sixteen weeks duration of the study. The moringa-basil and neem-basil leaf meals mixtures were in the ratio of 10 to 2; that is ten percent (10%) moringa or neem to two percent (2%) basil. Parameters determined include growth indices and cost benefits. Data collected were subjected to two-way analysis of variance using SAS (2000). Pigs on control diet had the highest final weight (49. 44, 43.22, 40.67 kg) and daily weight gain (515.87, 401.59, 388.89 g/pig) and the best feed conversion ratio (3.56, 4.59, 4.23) when compared to the values documented for pigs on ration containing different herbal-mix feed additives. The least total feed cost and revenue per pig were noted for pigs on neem-basil dietary treatment while the highest values were documented for pigs on control ration. Homogenous light weight pigs had higher feed intake and total feed cost per pigs when compared to other values noted for pigs on other treatment groups. Heterogeneous weight pigs recorded better feed conversion ratio, lower feed cost per kilogram weight gain and higher gross margin values when compared to the values noted for their homogenous counterparts. It can be concluded from this study that performance indices of growing pigs were affected by the dietary inclusion of herbal-mix feed additives and weight asymmetry. Hence, herbal-mix leaf meals can be integrated into growers ration in order to lower production cost, likewise,unevenly weight growing pigs can be managed together in order to obtain higher production efficiency in terms of feed intake and cost of production.
INFLATION TARGETING UNDER INFLATION UNCERTAINTY—MULTI-ECONOMY EVIDENCE FROM A STOCHASTIC VOLATILITY MODEL

One of the most important advantages of an inflation target is that it helps to reduce uncertainty about future inflation. However, this confidence may be undermined if actual inflation continuously deviates from the target level. We examine how inflation uncertainty relates to the presence of an inflation target and deviations of inflation from the targeted level. Inflation uncertainty is quantified by means of an unobserved components stochastic volatility model that allows to distinguish between permanent and transitory inflation uncertainty. While long-term inflation appears largely stable in most economies, the short-term inflation uncertainty is found to be time-varying. Most notably, short-term inflation uncertainty is high if inflation rates are below the target level. This is particularly relevant for economies which are currently confronted with the presence of persistently low-inflation rates. Our findings suggest that announcing higher inflation targets as it is currently discussed may be costly in terms of provoking higher inflation uncertainty.
Implementation of Leadership Style in Increasing Local Government Innovation

The purpose of this study is to determine the implementation of leadership styles in increasing local government innovation. This research method is based on the approach used in this study is a qualitative approach. This research was conducted in North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi Province, to be precise at the Regent Office of North Luwu Regency. Data collection was carried out through observation and interviews. The results showed that the leader has carried out his function as a spokesman. The output of the aforementioned activities has brought the good name of the North Luwu Regency Government as a regency that has the ability to speak professionally, where organizing international and national scale events require optimal lobbying and negotiations. The implementation of the leader in giving natural rewards to employees turns out to be able to improve performance and motivation on the pretext that the work given is an award because not everyone is able to complete the job well, on the other hand, employees feel that tasks that can be completed properly are opportunities for further increase his potential and competence so that it will be easier to get strategic positions in the future. Leaders play a role in creating a positive mindset towards developing potential employees from various dimensions, namely the dimensions of HR development, the dimensions of skill development, and the dimensions of decision making.
Experiences of Family Conflict in Shelter-Residing Runaway Youth: A Phenomenological Study

Family conflict is the most significant factor that causes adolescents to run away from home. This study explored the experiences of family conflict from the perspective of Korean runaway youth. We conducted a qualitative phenomenological study using in-depth interviews with nine female runaway youth. Audio-recorded interview data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using the Colaizzi method. We found that the participants had experienced complex family conflicts since early childhood, such as parental conflict and mental health issues, abuse, neglect, lack of parental understanding, and poverty. Participants had negative emotions and coping problems regarding family conflict(s), before leaving home. After running away, they experienced ambivalent feelings, and felt both hatred and compassion towards their parents. Their experiences influenced their thoughts regarding future family relationships. Understanding the viewpoint of runaway youth in terms of family conflict can assist in the development of interventions designed for such youth.

Predicting youth reoffending after incarceration: added value of protective factors and heart rate variability

ABSTRACT This study examined a biopsychosocial approach on risk assessment in a clinical sample of youth offenders. In search of enhancing the validity of prediction of recidivism through risk factors alone, the added value of protective and neurobiological factors was measured. In 209 male youth offenders (age 15-24), risk and protective factors were assessed with the Structured Assessment of Violence in Youth (SAVRY) and the Structured Assessment of Protective Factors for violence risk-Youth Version (SAPROF-YV). Autonomic nervous system (re)activity was assessed, and cortisol and testosterone levels were measured in saliva. Recidivism data were obtained from official criminal records. As expected, risk factors alone provided moderate predictive validity for general and violent recidivism. Incorporating protective factors and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) reactivity significantly improved prediction models. Risk assessment may gain by adopting a broader, biopsychosocial perspective. Including neurobiology and protective factors in risk assessment could improve release decision-making, offer guidance for better tailored interventions, and enhance chances of successful community reintegration.
Perceptions of World English Varieties by Chinese EFL Students: Effects of Average Ethnic Faces and Speaker Gender

The objectives of this study are to elicit perceptions that Chinese users of English have towards a selection of world English varieties; to determine the effects of speaker gender and visual primes (ethnic faces) on perceptions; and also to reveal how these two factors interact with each other. In the present experiment, 278 respondents were exposed to eight world English varieties. Each accent sample had a female and a male voice version. Chinese students of English were exposed to these recordings, with the presence and absence of average ethnic faces as visual stimuli during the experiment, and requested to complete a questionnaire to reflect on their impressions by means of Likert scales. The results showed a preference for inner circle monolingual standards, and a rejection of outer circle Englishes (for the circles of English classification, see Kachru, 2006). Results also showed a positive perception of respondents towards their own Chinese accent. Ethnic faces visual prime and speaker gender factors, as well as their interaction, also proved to have significant influences on the results. Respondents rated accents significantly more positively when accompanied by ethnic faces.
Food Security Dynamics in Oman: VECM Approach

The paper examines the determinants of food security in Oman during the period 1980-2019. It investigates the influence of population growth rate and GDP per capita on food security. Cointegration and vector error correction model (VECM) approach are used to identify the long term and short term relationship of food security determinants. The results confirm the existence of a long run relationship among the determinants of food security. Further this linkage indicates that food security in Oman is positively influenced by the population growth rate and GDP/capita(current). The error correction term suggests that 51.7 percent of the total disequilibrium in food security was being adjusted every year which is justifiable for an oil producing country.
