An analysis of lecturers’ demographic factors affecting research performance in Indonesia

This study aims to determine the demographic factors that affect lecturer publication performances in Indonesia. This study employs data from 658 lecturers in the faculties of economics and business from 7 universities in Indonesia. Data of lecturer profile consisting of academic rank, administrative position, highest education, the country where lecturers received their degrees (overseas or regional), age, work years, and gender was collected from the Ministry of Research online database. To find out the relationship of these factors on the performance of lecturers' publications, multivariate regression analysis with a 95% confidence level was carried out and followed by the Tukey test. Academic rank, highest education, and the university where the lecturer received their degree had a significant influence (p-value <0.05) on the 3-years and overall publication performance. Gender and administrative positions only have a significant effect on the 3-years publication performance, while age and work years did not significantly influence publication performance. The results of this study can be used by lecturer management policymakers in developing countries to make appropriate strategies in developing lecturer resources. Due to the limitations of the factors tested, the results of this study have not been able to fully explain the performance of publications lecturers in Indonesia. Regression equation r-squared value of 3-year version 1, version 2, overall version 1, and version 2 are 18,15%, 21,73%, 24,54%, and 23,51% respectively. Subsequent research needs to be done with a more comprehensive analysis of factors so that it can be identified factors that are almost the performance of lecturer publications in Indonesia.
Integration of the 21st Century Technologies in Religious Education Methodologies in Secondary Schools in Uganda

: The study examined how 21st technologies can be integrated into Religious Education (RE) methods of teaching in secondary schools in Uganda. With the exponential growth in the past, devices used to enhance educational technology, learners can learn anytime anywhere, thus, the need to integrate the new technologies in the teaching of RE in secondary schools to make it more relevant in the 21 st century. Of particular importance, is the notion that, in the 21 st century, the teaching of RE is no longer concerned with imparting morals and passing of national examinations as it has traditionally been, rather, the teaching of RE ought to be concerned with empowering learners with lifelong skills that enable them to meet the new demands of development and market economy that are driven by technological innovations. There is no doubt, therefore, that the 21st century ought to be characterized by rapid advancement in technology and most secondary schools in developed countries have embraced the application of these new technologies in teaching.
First-principles study of elastic mechanical responses to applied deformation of metal-organic frameworks

We use density functional theory to compute the elastic constant tensors of two families of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to establish relationships between their structures and mechanical properties. The Zn family consist of Zn4O centers each coordinated by six organic linkers along the ⟨100⟩ directions; we studied three linkers of increasing lengths: 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (BDC), 4,4’-biphenyl-dicarboxylate (BPDC), and 4,4’’-terphenyl-dicarboxylate. This relatively weak connectivity leads to high anisotropy; in fact, Zn-MOFs exhibit extremely low shear modulus and are near a mechanical instability. In contrast, Zr family studied consists of Zr6O4(OH)4 centers each linked by fumarate, BDC, and BPDC ligands along the twelve ⟨110⟩ directions. The higher structural connectivity results in stiffer frameworks with lower anisotropy. The smallest Zr-MOF exhibits nearly isotropic elasticity with a Zener ratio of 1.06. The stiffest and most compliant directions of both families are directly related to the ori.
The Influence of Architecture Students’ Learning Approaches on their Academic Performance in Two Nigeria Universities

The paper was a pilot study that examined learning approaches of architecture students; variability of approaches by university type and gender and; influence of architecture students’ learning approaches on their academic performance. The sample was 349 architecture students from two universities. Descriptive and statistical analyses were used. Results revealed predominant use of deep learning approaches by students. Furthermore, learning approaches neither significantly differed by university type nor gender. Regression analysis revealed that demographic factors accounted for 2.9% of variation in academic performance (F (2,346) = 6.2, p = 0.002, R2 = 0.029, f2 = 0.029) and when learning approaches were also entered the model accounted for 4.4% of variation in academic performance (F (14,334) =2.2, p =0.009, R2 = 0.044, f2=0.044). Deep learning approaches significantly and positively influenced variation in academic performance while surface learning approaches significantly and negatively influenced academic performance. This implies that architectural educators should use instructional methods that encourage deep approaches. Future research needs to use larger and more heterogeneous samples for confirmation of results.
The potency of Sansevieria trifasciata and S. cylindrica leaves extracts as an antibacterial against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract. Nugroho LH, Dewatisari WF, Retnaningrum E, Purwestri YA. 2021. The potency of Sansevieria trifasciata and S. cylindrica leaves extracts as an antibacterial against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Biodiversitas 22: 408-415. Sansevieria trifasciata and Sansevieria cylindrica are the major herbs in Indonesia, which contain several bioactive compounds as potential sources of antibacterial agents. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of S. trifasciata and S. cylindrica leaves extract and fraction against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to identify its bioactive compounds. Crude ethanolic extract of S. trifasciata and S. cylindrica leaves were tested for their antimicrobial activity by disk diffusion method against P. aeruginosa. S. trifasciata showed strong antibacterial activity with an inhibition zone of 18.3 mm compared to S. cylindrica. Different concentrations of extract i.e. 4 mg/mL, 8 mg/mL, 16 mg/mL, 32 mg/mL, 64 mg/mL, 128 mg/mL and 256 mg/mL were tested for their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). The MIC results showed that the S. trifasciata extract was able to inhibit bacterial growth at a concentration of 32 mg/mL. Results of vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) revealed that only fraction 3 showed the highest antibacterial activity at 16 mg/mL. In TLC bioautography analysis, fraction 3 showed a clear zone at Rf 0.93. The phytochemical analysis showed that terpenoid, phenolic, triterpenoid, and flavonoid compounds were found in S. trifasciata extract that were associated with antibacterial activity.

SCHOOLS’ STRUCTURE AND EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS: EVIDENCE FROM IRAN

Parents choose the school of their children regarding the quality of education, tuition fee and accessibility. Iran’s government established special schools in addition to public and private ones to provide cheap and high-quality education. In this research, we assess the educational outcomes of special schools and their effectiveness. We use data of an internet-based survey among 6178 students. We describe a propensity score matching method to compare the achievements of students in special schools with other students in public and private schools. We show that special schools increase students’ Diploma score and bring better rank in the national university entrance exam, both significant in 1% level. The different structure of special schools to public ones in addition to peer effect account for the effectiveness of special schools. JEL classification: I22, I24, I28, I38, H52, O15
Determinants of the Intention of Social Aid Beneficiaries to Use Banking Self-Service Technology (SST)

This study aims to examine the intention of social aid beneficiaries to use banking self-service technology (SST). In general, the social aid beneficiaries have limitations in accessing banking technologies. Therefore, research on the determinants of the intention of social aid beneficiaries in using banking SST is considered necessary. The independent variables used in this study are attitude, coercive pressure, normative pressure, mimetic pressure, and perceived costs, while the dependent variable is the intention to use banking SST. Respondents in this study are social aid beneficiaries who have used banking services. The research hypotheses are tested using PLS SEM analysis with WarpPLS 7. The results of this study indicate that attitude, normative pressure, mimetic pressure, and perceived costs have a significant positive effect on the intention to use banking SST, while coercive pressure has a significant negative effect on the intention to use banking SST.
Auditory, Visual and Postural Reaction Time Among Middle Aged Type 2 Diabetics and Healthy Individuals – A Cross-Sectional Study

iabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar either because the body does not produce enough insulin or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. (1) According to International Diabetes Federation, globally an estimated 425 million adults are living with DM of which 74 million cases are Indians. The average age of onset is 42.5 years (2). Balance is defined as the ability to maintain the body‟s center of gravity within its Base of Support (BOS) and can be categorized by either static or dynamic balance (3). Both static and dynamic balance requires effective integration of visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive inputs to produce an efferent response to control the body within its BOS (4-5). Type 2 DM may involve peripheral as well as central nervous system and can often D 1. Assistant Professor, MGM College of Physiotherapy and Hospital.

Emotional labor as the underlying mechanism in the relationship between emotional stability and affective commitment: A study in the hospitality industry

This study aims to examine the mediating effects of emotional labor variables, namely emotive effort and dissonance resulting from deep and surface acting strategies, which are based on the relationship between emotional stability and affective commitment. 249 data were obtained from the hospitality industry in major cities in Indonesia and were analyzed using a mediation technique. The results showed that emotive effort mediated the relationship between emotional stability and affective commitment. Furthermore, it was also shown that emotive dissonance did not mediate the relationship between emotional stability and affective commitment.
Immigrants’ Experiences on Integration While Attempting to Access the Labour Market: Implications for Social Work Practice

(1) Background: The challenge of immigrants and their integration into adopted countries is a key topic for the global field of social work. However, there is a paucity of research on immigrants’ lived experiences in gaining access to the labour market. Thus, this study examines how immigrants in Norway experience integration while in the process of gaining access to the labour market. The prevalent notion of integration achieved through gainful employment narrows the concept of integration and disguises the underlying marginalization and inequalities that are derived from majority- minority dividing lines. (2) Methods: Data were collected via nine qualitative semi-structured interviews with ten immigrants (one interview was with a couple) living in Norway. Data was analysed by using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. (3) Results: The results showed that the participants experienced social exclusion but accepted this as an inevitable part of being an immigrant. The participants regarded the learning of Norwegian language as the key aspect to understanding social customs and forming informal relationships with native Norwegians and important for achieving integration. Freedom and equality were also regarded as issues of great importance. (4) Conclusions: The results provide the field of social work with important insights towards informing social work practices and challenging current paradigms.
Semi-organic Rice Farming as a Transition Period to Organic Rice Farming

Organic rice farming aims to achieve sustainable agriculture. It considers social, economic and environmental aspects. However, in practice, farmers experience various technical and economic constraints upon converting non-organic agriculture practice to organic rice farming. The alternative method is to implement semi-organic farming as a transitional period. The purpose of this study is to review technical / production and economic aspects of non-organic, semi-organic, and organic farming. It is conducted to determine whether semi-organic farming could be utilized as a transition period to organic rice farming. The study used a survey method on 75 farmers working in non-organic, semi organic, and organic farm in Priangan Timur, West Java Province, Indonesia. Article’s result exhibited that, in terms of technical cultivation / production, the majority of semiorganic farmers had carried out the stages of organic cultivation. It generated higher productivity compared to non-organic farming. However, productivity remained below organic farming. In terms of economical aspect, income per hectare and R / C value are higher than non-organic farming. However, it is below organic farming. Semi-organic farming could be used as a transition to organic farming.
Combined Effects of Leucas aspera, Oxy-Cyclodextrin and Bentonite on the Growth, Serum Biochemistry, and the Expression of Immune-Related Gene in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

This study investigated the effects of a combination of Leucas aspera, Oxy-cyclodextrin and sodium bentonite (LOB) on growth, digestive enzyme activity, innate immune response, haematology, and expression of immune-related genes in Nile tilapia. A total of 240 juvenile fish (20.15±0.05g) were randomly distributed into four dietary groups in triplicate and fed respective diets containing a graded level of LOB at 0 g kg-1 (Control), 0.3 g kg-1 (T1), 0.6 g kg-1 (T2) and 0.9 g kg-1 diet (T3) for 60 days. After 60 days, higher growth was observed in fish fed T2 diet (P < 0.05). Digestive enzyme activities and innate immune parameters were significantly higher in T3 group. Some of the haematological parameters reported statistically higher counts in T2 group (P<0.05), whereas erythrocyte indices and WBC counts were significantly higher in T3 group. Liver- kidney activities were recorded low in T3 group. Urea and creatinine were higher in control group, whereas T2 group recorded the least value. The highest relative expression of IL-1β, IgM-heavy chain, TGF-β and IFN-γ were recorded in T2 group, but TNF-α was upregulated in T3 group. The results showed that 0.6 - 0.9 g kg1 of LOB is recommended for inclusion in diet.
Distance Teaching Practicum: Its Impact on Pre-Service EFL Teachers’ Preparedness for Teaching

Teaching practicum performs a crucial role in initial English language teacher preparation programs in that it offers pre-service English-as-a-foreign-language teachers a great chance to put the pedagogical content knowledge they have acquired through the coursework into practice by teaching real students Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, pre-service English-as-a-foreign-language teachers in the context of the present study, had to do more than half of their teaching practicums via distance education This qualitative case study explores 25 pre-service English-as-a-foreign-language teachers’ conceptions of the influence of distance teaching practicum on their preparedness for the first year of teaching The data collected by emailed questionnaires were analysed adopting inductive content analysis The results indicated they did not believe distance teaching practicum was effective in enhancing their professional learning and preparing them for the first year of teaching In addition, they did not think teaching practicum conducted face-to-face could be replaced by distance teaching practicum © 2021, The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) All rights reserved
GENETICS OF MUNGBEAN [VIGNA RADIATA (L.) WILCZEK] CERCOSPORA LEAF SPOT RESISTANCE: A HOST PLANT DISEASE RESISTANCE APPROACH TO IDM STRATEGY IN AGRICULTURE

The cercospora leaf spot (CLS) disease of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is one of the important biotic stresses to the mungbean production. It is a fungal disease caused by Cercospora canescens (Ellis & Mart.). Even though chemical management of plant disease is popular, exploitation of host resistance as management strategy is a step towards enhancing the resilience of agriculture to climate change. In this regard, the current study aimed on genetics of CLS resistance through generation mean analysis (six parameter model) in an inter-specific cross namely, Kopergaon (mungbean) × PU31 (urdbean). Four quantitative disease resistance components viz., Incubation period (IP), Latent period (LP), Lesion number count (LN) and degree of sporulation (SP) were studied. Area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) was calculated as measure of disease severity. Significant association of AUDPC with IP (r = -0.91, P < 0.01) and LP (r = -0.87, P < 0.01), suggested their important role in quantitative disease resistance influencing CLS disease development. High broad sense heritability (Hb) of AUDPC (=0.98), IP (0.89), LP (0.90) and SP (0.86) indicated the role of genetic factor(s) in regulating mungbean host plant CLS resistance. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed IP as the factor having maximum influence on AUDPC. Generation mean analysis studies revealed involvement of two genes for CLS resistance in terms of AUDPC. Present study supports oligogenic nature of inheritance, suggesting AUDPC along with IP, LP and SP as important factors for selection of CLS resistance in mungbean.

Diagnosis and management of injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament in skeletally immature patients. A narrative review

111 ABSTRACT The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in skeletally immature patients has increased greatly in recent years, especially due to growing sports demands at increasingly younger ages, an increased number of females involved in competition sports, and the rise in childhood obesity. In such cases the presence of hemarthrosis is less specific of ACL damage compared with the adult population, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proves crucial for assessing physeal maturity. Prevention programs have recently gained importance, since they have been shown to result in an important decrease in the incidence of ACL rupture in this population. It has also been seen that when the lesion appears, surgery is the best management option for skeletally immature patients, and postponing such treatment has been found to increase the associated lesions, such as meniscal and chondral damage. The determining factor in surgical treatment is the presence of the physes in this patient group.

PREPARATION AND QUALITY EVALUATION OF BAOBAB FRUITS PULP AND PINEAPPLE BLENDED JAM

Quality jam from blends of pineapple and baobab pulp was produced and appraised. This study was undertaken to investigate the possibility of producing jam from pineapple and baobab fruits pulp and to assess the nutritional compositions and consumer acceptability of the product. Three different jam samples were produced in a ratio of 100:00, 60:40 and 50:50. Sample ABC served as control and contained 100% pineapple, BCD 60% pineapple and 40% baobab fruits pulp and EFG 50% pineapple and 50% baobab fruits pulp. Proximate analysis and consumer acceptability of the jam samples were determined. The results of the proximate analysis of the jam blends showed nutrient values of moisture 53.6761. 31%, ash 1.02-1.06%, fat 0.04 0.10 %, protein 0.901. 33% and carbohydrate 36.8444. 22%. The results of sensory analysis of the jam samples showed significant (p≤0.05) differences in colour, aroma, taste, spreadability and overall acceptability of the jam. Statistical evaluation using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey Test were used to determine the significant difference among the various samples in duplicates. Some assessors, however, scored jam made of 60% pineapple and 30% baobab fruits pulp high for flavour and spreadability.
