Pendidikan tidak hanya didapatkan secara Formal,sedangkan Usia tidak mempengaruhi kematangan Akseptor dalam mengambil pilihan kontrasepsi. Sehingga hendaknya Tenaga Kesehatan dan Kader KB lebih secara mendalam memberikan motivasi Akseptor untuk memilih MKJP melalui Metode Pendekatan Keluarga.
Influence of seed coat compactness around cotyledons, protein andmineral composition on mechanical strength of soybean[Glycine max (L.) Merrill] seed coat

The critical problem of soybean seed is susceptibility to mechanical processes due to structural limitations of seed and seed coat. The X-radiography of soybean seed revealed the orientation of seed coat around the cotyledons and cultivars like JS 335, JS 9752, JS 71-05, JS 95-60, MACS 124, Pusa 40, Punjab 1 and Type 49 had very compact seed coat around cotyledons. In NRC 12, NRC 37, RKS 18 and SL 525 where the gap between seed coat and cotyledons was significantly very high and non uniform making seed coat very much vulnerable to cracking. Seed coat minerals- calcium, silicon, zinc, iron and lignin content were found to vary significantly among cultivars. Significant genotypic variability for strength of seed coat was observed among the soybean cultivars. A very close relationship was found between strength of seed coat and seed coat compactness. Highly significant correlation was found between mechanical strength and seed coat lignin, iron and zinc content. Quantitative and qualitative variation for seed coat protein among soybean cultivars was revealed and higher protein content was found linked with mechanically strong seed coat. The result revealed that selection for these seed coat parameters in varietal improvement programme may be very fruitful for development of varieties having resistance to field weathering and mechanical damage.
THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE DECISIONS OF TURKISH SMEs: A REVIEW

Due to the arising uncertainties with the global financial crisis, capital structure decisions became crucial for Turkish firms, especially small and medium-sized (SMEs) firms. Since SMEs face higher information asymmetry, transaction costs and risk, they face more difficulties in accessing finance during the financial market turmoil. In this review, we comparatively analyze findings from capital structure decisions for Turkish firms. As might be anticipated, we expect that SMEs should take more precautionary steps under the severe crisis conditions compared to listed firms in Borsa Istanbul.
Marine Macro- And Microplastic Litter Along The Coastal Area Of Kuala Perlis

Marine litter along the coastal area has long been a threat to the ecosystem and one of the crucial issues repeatedly in debates. Since the study of marine litter is at its infant stage in Malaysia, this research took the initiative to focus on coastal pollution with the objective to ascertain the amount of different categories of macro marine litter, to determine the amount of microplastic in the sediment layer, and to determine the possible correlation between macroplastic abundance and microplastic amount in the sediment layer. The study area is the coastal region of Kuala Perlis, Malaysia. Macro marine litter is collected at four sampling sites along the shoreline stretching 100 m in length and divided by four sections in width. A quadrat of 50 cm x 50 cm is used to collect sediment from surface to 5 cm depth for microplastic analysing. The total weight of macroplastics collected is 27.79 kg with highest amount being plastic weighing 20.1 kg, fabric (6.96 kg), glass (0.53 kg) and rubber (0.2 kg), while wood and metal were unfound. The amount of macroplastic, being the most collected, proved the reason it becomes a major threat. This study found the amount of microplastics ranged between 0.000096 to 0.000160 kg/m 3 , while macroplastics ranged between 0.00167 to 0.00402 kg/m 2 . Result shows a significant relationship (R 2 of 0.9328) between macro and microplastic at 95% significance level. The linear regression equation computed is y = 26.388x + 0.051, with y representing microplastic (kg/m 2 ) while x represents macroplastic (kg/m 2 ).
Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Performance in Takaful Agencies: The Moderating Role of Objective Environment

The previous research on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and business performance produced mixed findings. Scholars exerted the mixed findings are largely influenced by several factors and contexts where different markets, type of companies, industries, and countries would show different results. On that basis, this study examines how the dimensions of objective environment influence the relationship between CSR dimensions and the business performance of Takaful agencies in Malaysia. Malaysia was chosen as the country because it is among the largest Takaful contributors in the world. Stakeholder and contingency theory are used to analyze the hypothetical relationship between the variables. Questionnaires were distributed to Takaful agency managers who operate their businesses in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Selangor state. About 211 of them participated in this study. The empirical findings suggest that economic and ethical activities have a direct influence on Takaful agencies’ business performance. Further results imply that while environmental dynamism influences business performance directly, environmental complexity significantly moderates the relationship between legal, philanthropy, and business performance. This research considered only the direct effect of CSR activities and the moderating effect of environmental dimensions on business performance with only the agency managers’ perspective studied. It adds new insights to the CSR and Takaful literature by revealing the relationship between the dimensions of CSR and business performance in the Takaful context, and sheds light on how governing authorities and Takaful operators should implement the CSR strategy and activities to make the industry successful in Malaysia and around the world, as Takaful businesses are heading towards becoming a global industry.
Microenvironment and functional‐trait context dependence predict alpine plant community dynamics

Predicting the structure and dynamics of communities is difficult. Approaches linking functional traits to niche boundaries, species co‐occurrence and demography are promising, but have so far had limited success. We hypothesized that predictability in community ecology could be improved by incorporating more accurate measures of fine‐scale environmental heterogeneity and the context‐dependent function of traits. We tested these hypotheses using long term whole‐community demography data from an alpine plant community in Colorado. Species distributions along microenvironmental gradients covaried with traits important for below‐ground processes. Positive associations between species distributions across life stages could not be explained by abiotic microenvironment alone, consistent with facilitative processes. Rates of growth, survival, fecundity and recruitment were predicted by the direct and interactive effects of trait, microenvironment, macroenvironment and neighbourhood axes. Synthesis. Context‐dependent interactions between multiple traits and microenvironmental axes are needed to predict fine‐scale community structure and dynamics.
Modeling the integrated framework of complex water resources system considering economic development, ecological protection, and food production: A practical tool for water management

Abstract. The rapid increase of population and urbanization is accelerating the consumption of the water resources that play an essential role in economic development, ecological protection, and food productivity (EEF). This study developed an integrated modeling framework to better identify the dynamic interaction, coevolution process, and feedback loops of the nexus across EEF systems by incorporating the multi-objective optimization and system dynamic (SD) models. The multi-objective model optimizes the water allocation decisions considering the adaptive status of both the whole system and each agent, while the SD model discloses the dynamics of the coevolution process and reciprocal feedback of the EEF system. The framework is applied to the Upper Reaches of Guijiang River Basin, China, in the context of interconnected systems considering the agents of economic development, ecological protection, and food productivity. Results show that the proposed framework enables the optimal water allocation decisions in each time step, and the SD model can adequately reveal the coevolution process and reciprocal feedback that differs in different stages in integrated, dynamic ways. The rapid economic growth intensifies the ecological awareness that cannot support such rapid development because of the conflict between environment and economic water uses. Once the economic growth rate decreased, water resources are able to support economic development because the ecological awareness is alleviated in this respect. The different water usages demonstrate the competitive mechanism, and the river ecological agent is the critical factor that affects the robustness of the model. The equal consideration of each water usage is the most beneficial to sustainable development. These results highlight the importance of water resources management considering multiple stakeholders and tradeoffs and give an insight into future dynamic changes of complex water systems.
Taxonomic Studies Using Multivariate Analysis of Eriobotrya Based on Morphological Traits

A phenetic analysis was obtained using numerical taxonomy involving 27 accessories composed of species and varieties of Eriobotrya Lindl. and two related species, Photinia serrulata Lindl. , and Rhapiolepis indica Lindl. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to separate 53 morphological traits. Leaf morphology was essential for the classification of Eriobotrya. Clustering was consistent with traditional taxonomy. Eriobotrya was distinctly separate from its related genera, and when the similarity coefficient was 0.55, the Eriobotrya accessions could be divided into five groups as follows: Group 1: species with small leaf, included E. angustissima Hook. f. , E. henryi Nakai, and E. seguinii Cardot ex Guillaumin; Group 2: Species with mid-size and large leaf included E. japonica Lindl. , E. malipoensis K.C. Kuan, E. serrata J.E. Vidal, and E. stipularis Craib; Group 3: Species with large leaf distributed in tropical and south subtropical areas, E. elliptica Lindl. , E. ellliptica f. peniolata Hook. , and E. elliptica var. petelottii Vidal; Group 4: Species with tomentose leaves included E. prinoides Rehder & E.H. Wilson, E. × daduheensis H.Z. Zhang ex W.B. Liao, Q. Fan & M.Y. Ding, E. prinoides var . laotica Vidal, E. salwinensis Hand. -Mass. , and E. tengyuehensis W.W. Smith; Group 5: All the remaining species including E. bengalensis Hook. f . bengalensis , E. bengalensis (Roxb.) Hook. f. forma angustifolia (Card.) Vidal E. cavaleriei Rehder, E deflexa Nakai, E. deflexa f. buisanensis Nakia, E. deflexa f. koshunensis , E . fragrans Champ. ex Benth. , E. kwangsiensis , E. obovata , and E. potlanei Vidal. Our results were in total agreement with the traditional taxonomy of Eriobotrya classification and provide a foundation for the classification and genetic improvement of loquat germplasm.
Estimation of genome-wide and locus-specific breed composition in pigs1

Abstract Advances in pig genomic technologies enable implementation of new methods to estimate breed composition, allowing innovative and efficient ways to evaluate and ensure breed and line background. Existing methods to test for homozygosity at key loci involve test mating the animal in question and observing phenotypic patterns among offspring, requiring extensive resources. In this study, whole-genome pig DNA microarray data from over 8,000 SNP was used to profile the composition of U.S. registered purebred pigs using a refined linear regression method that enhances the interpretation of coefficients. In a simulation analysis, a strong correlation between true and estimated breed composition was observed (R2 = 0.94). Applying these methods to 930 Yorkshire animals registered with the National Swine Registry, 95% were estimated to have a “genome-wide” Yorkshire breed composition of at least 0.825 or 82.5%, with similar performance for evaluating datasets of registered Duroc (n = 88) Landrace (n = 129), and Hampshire (n = 17) breeds. We also developed new methods to evaluate locus-based breed probabilities. Such methods have been applied to multi-locus SNP genotypes flanking the KIT gene known to predominantly control coat color, thereby inferring the probability that an animal has haplotypes in the KIT region that are predominant in white breeds. These methods have been adopted by the National Swine Registry as a means to identify purebred Yorkshire animals.
Diverse molecular functions of aspartate β-hydroxylase in cancer

Aspartate/asparagine β-hydroxylase (AspH) is a type II transmembrane protein that catalyzes the post-translational hydroxylation of definite aspartyl and asparaginyl residues in epidermal growth factor-like domains of substrates. In the last few decades, accumulating evidence has indicated that AspH expression is upregulated in numerous types of human malignant cancer and is associated with poor survival and prognosis. The AspH protein aggregates on the surface of tumor cells, which contributes to inducing tumor cell migration, infiltration and metastasis. However, small-molecule inhibitors targeting hydroxylase activity can markedly block these processes, both in vitro and in vivo. Immunization of tumor-bearing mice with a phage vaccine fused with the AspH protein can substantially delay tumor growth and progression. Additionally, AspH antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were identified in the spleen of tumor-bearing mice. Therefore, these agents may be used as novel strategies for cancer treatment. The present review summarizes the current progress on the underlying mechanisms of AspH expression in cancer development.
Private Gardens as Urban Greenspaces: Can They Compensate for Poor Greenspace Access in Lower Socioeconomic Neighbourhoods?

The increasing process of urbanisation has major implications for the environment, biodiversity, and health and well-being of urban residents. Empirical evidence for urban greening benefits suggests that it is anappropriate planning and policy approach for tackling some of the problems associated with urbanisation, including biodiversity loss and heat island effects. Gardens on private residential lots represent a substantial proportion of greenspaces in low density cities with extensive suburban areas. Drawing on a qualitative study of residents in Sunshine North, Melbourne, Australia, this paper discusses three questions about the relationship of private gardens to public greenspaces: 1) how does residents' use of private gardens impact their use of other neighbourhood greenspaces; 2) can private gardens address inequality of access to greenspaces in lower income neighbourhoods; and, 3) what does this imply for planning and neighbourhood design? Contrary to previous research, the findings did not show a meaningful relationship between residents' use of their gardens and local greenspaces, and further, that large yards and gardens do not substitute for poor access to local greenspaces. The paper concludes that policy makers and planners cannot assume private gardens and public greenspaces are interchangeable. While private gardens and local greenspaces can both provide positive benefits to residents, private gardens do not act as a substitute for local greenspaces in neighbourhoods of varying socio-economic status.
Selection of the most suitable crustacean exoskeleton waste from fish processing industry to isolate chitosan

Shell waste produced by the sea food industry is one of the most significant problems contributing for environmental and health hazards. The most frequent method employed for disposal of these waste is burning which is environmentally costly due to low burning capacity of shells. In such a scenario, conversion of shrimp shell waste to chitosan, a commercially valuable product with a myriad of uses, could serve as an effective mode of shell remediation. Chitosan was obtained from shellfish waste by deproteination, demineralization, discoloration and deacetylation processes. It was characterized using Fourier Transformed Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The physico-chemical parameters such as moisture content, ash content, solubility, N-content, water binding capacity (WBC), fat binding capacity (FBC) and degree of deacetylation (DD) were analysed to compare the extracted six chitosan samples from Penaeus monodon , Portunus pelagicus , Portunus sanguinolentus , Scylla serrata , Panulirus homarus and Panulirus versicolor. The ranges for percentage yield, moisture content, ash content, N-content, percentage solubility, and WBC were 14.53±0.47%-34.13±3.72%, 3.16±1.77%-7.52±1.11%, 0.65±0.23%-53.52±5.65%, 2.02±0.03% - 6.16±0.10%, 15.28±0.62% - 47.91±5.15%, and 262.94±20.88% - 600.61±58.11% respectively. FBC varied approximately from 250% to 650% in coconut oil, sunflower oil and soybean oil. Among the six chitosan samples, P. monodon was the most suitable crustacean exoskeleton waste from fish processing industry to isolate chitosan due to the fact that in the processing of shrimps for human consumption, 40 - 50 % of the total mass is discarded as waste and high quality of chitosan extracted. Therefore, there is a high possibility of extracting good quality chitosan using exoskeleton waste of Penaeus monodon .
A correlation study of emergency department nurses’ fatigue, perceived stress, social support and self-efficacy in grade III A hospitals of Xi’an

Abstract Fatigue is a universal and challenging problem in a nurse's career, particularly for those working in the emergency department. Through analyzing the current status of emergency department nurses’ fatigue, the purpose of this study is to provide guidance for occupational health promotion strategies making and fatigue relief. Cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses working in emergency department in 6 grade III A hospitals in Xi’an, China. Convenience sample of 346 nurses agreed to participate in this study. Data collection was based on the questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, hypothesis tests and correlation analysis were used to describe the samples’ characteristics and identify associations amongst participants’ characteristics. The fatigue score of those emergency nurses from grade III A hospitals in Xian was 8.71 ± 3.01, a high fatigue level. Moreover, there were significant differences in fatigue scores of different age groups, sleep qualities, work stress levels and physical states (P < .01). Further, the dimension of physical fatigue in various age groups, job title, marital status, sleep qualities, work stress levels and physical states was significantly different (P < .05) and the dimension of mental fatigue with different sleep qualities, work stress levels and physical states was significantly different (P < .01). The results of correlation analysis showed that fatigue was positively correlated with perceived stress while negatively correlated with social support and self-efficacy (P < .01). The multiple stepwise linear regression analysis indicated that the independent variables in the fatigue regression equation were perceived stress, physical condition and work stress in turn (P < .01), and the independent variables in the the dimensions of physical fatigue regression equation were perceived stress, physical condition,work stress and job title in turn (P < .05); the independent variables in the the dimensions of mental fatigue regression equation were perceived stress,subjective support and physical condition in turn (P < .05). The current status of high fatigue level of emergency nurses should be taken seriously. It is imperative to take effective measures to help emergency nurses reduce stress, improve social support, promote the self-efficacy, and thus relieve fatigue.
DEVELOPMENT OF ASSESSMENT TOOLS OF CRITICAL THINKING IN MATHEMATICS IN THE CONTEXT OF HOTS

The present was purposed to determine whether or not students have possessed critical thinking skills through assessment. In general, the study was aimed at developing tools for assessing mathematical critical thinking skills, specifically in the context of higher-order thinking skills (henceforth, HOTS). To this day, the primary objective of the assessment is to determine students’ competencies before and after learning processes, thus allowing teachers to get feedback. The teachers will benefit from the feedback to improve the instructional media, including learning approaches, activities, and resources. In addition, the feedback also serves to disseminate information to parents regarding the effectiveness of educational activities at schools. This study relied on Dick and Carrey’s research and development model; the stages comprised literature study, planning of the product, development of the product, expert validation, trials, revision, and finalization of the final product. There were two trials in this research: trial I was carried out in class IX-A, and trial II was conducted in class IX-B. According to the results, (1) the designed instructional media were deemed effective. This was evident from the results of individual and classical learning mastery, student activities (within the bounds set by a specific regulation), and students’ positive reception to the learning media. (2) From trial I to trial II, the improvement in students’ critical thinking skills was 0.32 on average, and the classical learning mastery was measured at 21.4%.
