ROCZNIKI PSYCHOLOGICZNE/ANNALS OF PSYCHOLOGY DOI: https://doi.org/10.18290/rpsych20233-4

This study examined how person–supervisor fit is related to employees’ proactive behavior and unethical behavior towards the organization. The study involved 321 employees representing various sectors in Poland. The participants completed the Person–Supervisor Fit Scale, Proactive Behavior Scale, and the Unethical Behavior Questionnaire. Results show that a supplementary fit is weakly and positively related to proactive behavior but is not related to complementary fit. Surprisingly, supplementary fit is weakly but positively related to unethical behavior, while complementary fit from a needs–resources perspective is weakly and negatively associated with unethical behavior. Conclusions may be applied to organizational settings challenged by the problem of employee unethical behavior and their low proactivity in the context of person–supervisor congruence.
Clinical and Subtypes of Breast Cancer in Indonesia

Background: Breast cancer is still a global public health problem, especially in women and is the second leading cause of death after lung cancer. Indonesia is a country with a high incidence of breast among women. Methods: This study used a retrospective study of breast cancer patients registered at Division of Surgical Oncology in Indonesia. Information about demographic, clinical and pathological characteristics of patients for a period of 5 years (2014 to 2020) were collected and described. Results: Information for 1260 cases of breast cancer who underwent IHC examination with an average age of 53.73 years of patients, with the most age above 50 years (63.6%) were collected. On IHC examination, 58.6% positive estrogen receptors were found, positive progesterone receptors were 55.4%, Her2 was positive 37.7% and high Ki67 protein was 56.9%. The most common breast cancer subtypes were luminal B (43.2%), followed by luminal A (21.7%), TNBC (18.1%), and Her2 (17%), with the highest stages being IIIB (31.7%). Conclusions: The breast cancer was presented at higher stage, with more cases with estrogen or progesterone receptors are positive with low frequency of Her2 positivity and high in Ki67 protein expression.
IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON THE BUSINESS WRITING OF LEARNERS IN THE SECOND LANGUAGE CONTEXT IN PAKISTAN

This research aims to study the impact of technology on enhancing the business writing skills of learners in the second language (L2) context. The paper explores the role of modern technology in teaching and learning of the target language at the educational institutions in Pakistan. It also studies how technology can interfere and / or enhance achieving the academic writing competencies of the young learners especially at the higher education level. The literature analyzes and compares the use of technology and its implications not only in Pakistan but also in other countries where L1 and L2 are coexisting and mastering L2 is essential for business writing. Employing the experimental research design, control group and experimental group were used to study the causal relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The results establish that experimental group showed considerable improvement in language acquisition because technology was used as a tool for teaching and learning in a classroom setting. On the contrary, the control group was taught using the traditional method, which was not as effective. The study recommends and emphasizes the use of technology in a language-learning classroom at the higher education level as well as at the tertiary level, because it can foster proficiency in acquiring competence in business writing in the second language context.

SURVEY THE ALLELOPATHIC EFFECTS OF TOBACCO (NICOTIANA TABACUM L.) ON CORN (ZEA MAYS L.) GROWTH AND GERMINATION

1 Department of Agronomy and Plant Breeding, Isfahan (Khorasgan) Branch, Islamic Azad University, Iran 2 Biotechnology Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing, China 3 Nitrogen Fixation Laboratory, Qi Institute, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, China ABSTRACT. Allelopathy is the direct influence of chemical released from one plant on the development and growth of another plant. The trial accomplished in seed technology laboratory of Faculty of Agriculture, Islamic Azad University of Isfahan, in 2018. A factorial layout within completely randomized design with four replications was used. Treatments included plant organs extract (leaf, stem, root and total plant), and different tobacco extract densities includes four levels of 0%, 25%, 50% and 100%. Control treatment (0% of tobacco extract) had obtained the highest value of germination rate, germination percentage, coleoptile weight, radicle weight, radicle length and coleoptile length. The maximum germination rate, germination percentage, coleoptiles weight, radicle weight, radicle length and coleoptiles length was related to extract of stem extract which had meaningful differences with other treatments. Both radicle and coleoptile length decreased with increase in concentration of tobacco extract. Tobacco extract has negatively effects on corn seeds by decreasing the germination rate. Tobacco may increase the presence of secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, all of which may have different effects on seed germination percentage. The highest germination percentage (91.91%), coleoptile weight (0.046 mg), radicle weight (0.0161 mg), radicle length (7.24 mm), and coleoptiles length (6.45 mm) was related to interaction between control treatment (0% of extract) and stem extract. It is concluded that the extract of Nicotiana tabacum had both inhibitory and stimulatory effects on seedling growth of Zea mays.
Multi-organ Dysfunction Due to SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Comparative Overview

SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 is a highly transmittable and pathogenic viral disease, which was first reported in the province Wuhan of China in late December 2019. The disease has shown its catastrophic effect in more than 200 countries and territories, causing more than 53.7 million confirmed cases and over 1.3 million deaths since its outbreak. Although the virus was primarily presumed to cause respiratory disease, reports are emerging of the plausible impact of the virus on multiple organs. The multi-organ dysfunction in severe patients of COVID-19 results in high morbidity and mortality rate compared to the other coronavirus family members like SARS and MERS. In this review, we provided a brief overview of the current insights of potential COVID-19 impacts on multiple organ functions. Reports suggest that the virus may exert direct (e.g., using ACE2 receptor) or indirect (e.g., cytokine storm) effects on several organs, including the lung, kidney, heart, liver, and brain. These multi-organ injuries may contribute to poor health outcomes and even may lead to death, especially to those suffering from cardiac disease, diabetes, liver, kidney diseases, etc. However, further investigation is required to know the exact mechanism of the infection. This study will provide valuable information on multi-organ dysfunction due to COVID-19 and thus, help clinicians to combat the disease until an effective vaccine arrives.
Precancerous Cervical Lesion Among Women in Public Hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women in the world and particularly in Africa. Countries of the glob adopted proven the importance of precancerous lesion screening. However, cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia. This study assessed the prevalence and associated factors of precancerous cervical lesions among women screened at public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted among 234 women screened in five public hospitals of Addis Ababa selected by systematic sampling technique. Data were collected by interview using a structured and pre-tested questionnaire. The association of the variable was done by using binary and multiple logistic regressions and a 95% confidence interval were computed to determine the level of significance. Variable with P-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of cervical precancerous lesion was 14.1% [(95% CI: (9.4, 18.8)]. Having multiple sexual partners ((AOR = 4.17, 95% CI: (1.3, 13.36)], Being human immune virus positive (HIV) [AOR = 8.16, 95% CI: (2.08, 32.09)], early initiation of sex (before 18 years old) [AOR = 2.34, 95% CI: (1.13, 5.7)], having history of sexual transmitted disease [AOR = 9.97, 95% CI: (2.98, 33.4) and, having a husband with history of sexual transmitted disease [AOR = 4.07, 95% CI: (1.35, 12.3)] were factors significantly associate with the risk of being positive with precancerous cervical lesion. Conclusion: A significant number of women were positive for visual inspection with acetic acid screening (precancerous cervical lesion). Enhancing early cervical cancer screening and addressing community awareness on comprehensive sexual and reproductive health issues tailored to age and culture and early treatment of sexually transmitted diseases are important measures to decrease the problem.
ALLEVIATION OF LITHIUM TOXICITY IN SORGHUM (SORGHUM VULGARE PERS.) BY INOCULATION WITH LITHIUM RESISTANT BACTERIA

The present study was carried out to assess the impact of lithium and the alleviation of its influence on the growth and physiological performance of Sorghum vulgare using lithium resistant bacteria. Various growth and physiological parameters were measured at 15 days intervals and plants were harvested after 150 days to assess the lithium up-take in both the above-and belowground parts. A significant reduction in the number of leaves, plant height, panicle number, and grain yield, was observed among the plants treated with lithium. While, these growth parameters exhibited a significant increase among plants inoculated with bacteria. There was not a significant difference on gas exchange rate in the lithium treated plants as compared to the plants treated with bacterial inoculation. A strong significant relationship was observed between lithium concentrations in roots and biomass accumulation factor. Furthermore, the concentration of lithium was significantly lower in above and below-ground parts of plants with bacteria as compared to those treated with lithium only. Our findings demonstrate that lithium can cause significant reduction in growth and yield of sorghum, although reduction can be compensated by applying lithium resistant bacteria. Such data can be useful for lithium remediation in agricultural crops.
Water masses in the Atlantic Ocean: characteristics and distributions

Abstract. A large number of water masses are presented in the Atlantic Ocean, and knowledge of their distributions and properties is important for understanding and monitoring of a range of oceanographic phenomena. The characteristics and distributions of water masses in biogeochemical space are useful for, in particular, chemical and biological oceanography to understand the origin and mixing history of water samples. Here, we define the characteristics of the major water masses in the Atlantic Ocean as source water types (SWTs) from their formation areas, and map out their distributions. The SWTs are described by six properties taken from the biased-adjusted Global Ocean Data Analysis Project version 2 (GLODAPv2) data product, including both conservative (conservative temperature and absolute salinity) and non-conservative (oxygen, silicate, phosphate and nitrate) properties. The distributions of these water masses are investigated with the use of the optimum multi-parameter (OMP) method and mapped out. The Atlantic Ocean is divided into four vertical layers by distinct neutral densities and four zonal layers to guide the identification and characterization. The water masses in the upper layer originate from wintertime subduction and are defined as central waters. Below the upper layer, the intermediate layer consists of three main water masses: Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW), Subarctic Intermediate Water (SAIW) and Mediterranean Water (MW). The North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW, divided into its upper and lower components) is the dominating water mass in the deep and overflow layer. The origin of both the upper and lower NADW is the Labrador Sea Water (LSW), the Iceland–Scotland Overflow Water (ISOW) and the Denmark Strait Overflow Water (DSOW). The Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is the only natural water mass in the bottom layer, and this water mass is redefined as Northeast Atlantic Bottom Water (NEABW) in the north of the Equator due to the change of key properties, especially silicate. Similar with NADW, two additional water masses, Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) and Weddell Sea Bottom Water (WSBW), are defined in the Weddell Sea region in order to understand the origin of AABW.
STRATEGIC PLANNING IN THE SELECTED PUBLIC TECHNICAL HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUIONS IN TANZANIA

This article explores the introduction and operation of strategic plan (SP) in Technical Higher Education Institutions (THEIs) in Tanzania. It specifically explores specific reasons for the introduction of SP; involvement of management and staff on SP formulation; staff knowledge on the existing SP; how SP is the factor for staff performance; and challenges facing SP implementation apart from budget constraints. Data were collected through documentary review and interviews with three chief planning officers and three experienced academic staff. The staff were sampled using purposive sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using interpretative approach. The results indicate that, the SP was introduced between 2005 and 2007 mainly following the order from the government and as a requirement for transformation process of THEIs. The management was mainly involved while the staff had no or had very minimal involvement in the SP formulation. It was noted that SP facilitates the staff performance through preparation, implementation and appraisal of detailed SMART annual operation plans. The main challenges facing SP implementation apart from budgets’ constraints include poor staff knowledge on SP and political directives and interference. The findings of this study advocate for the involvement and participation of staff in SP formulation. This would in turn make the staff knowledgeable and feel the sense of ownership during the implementation process.
Ecophylogeography of Cassava Mosaic Disease Viruses Reveals a Distribution Linked to the Agro-ecosystems of Yangambi Region in Democratic Republic of Congo

A molecular epidemiology study of cassava mosaic begomoviruses was conducted in Yangambi (DRCongo). 120 cassava fields were investigated in 150 Km circle around the Agricultural Research Centre of Yangambi in various agro-ecosystems. Fields incidence and severity of CMD were scored, and whiteflies population counted per plant. 140 Cassava leaves samples, up to 100 weeds (Fabaceae) supposed to be alternate hosts of CMBs and 132 adults whiteflies were collected in cassava fields for molecular analysis. Targeted genes by PCR using specific primers were AC2 and AC4, which are the genes implied in the suppression of cassava mechanism of defence. Phylogeographical analysis of results showed that the virus distribution is linked to the agro-ecosystems. Moderate ACMV and EACMV-UG isolates associated with mild symptoms grouped in separate clusters based on a phylogenetic analysis of genes AC2 & AC4. They were found in spatial discontinuous cassava cropping ecosystem lying in evergreen humid forest, and to a lesser extent, in permanent flood land and the deciduous high forest, where cassava crop is less intensive (disease severity 2.53±0.55). In the more intensively cropped areas around cities and villages and the neighbouring secondary forest, the severe isolates were limited to spatial continuous cropping systems (disease severity 3.78±0.50). Such results were also correlated with the mean number of whitefly per leaf or the incidence of disease. EACMV-UG isolates spread in the different ecosystems suggest multiple introductions of virus. Our study focused on the potential contribution of forest plants species diversity to mitigate the effect of CMD. The results showed also that CMD viruses are widely spread throughout the investigated area. Dual infection was common both in cassava (66%) and in whiteflies vectors (59%). The EACMV-UGSer was predominant, in relationship with highly infested fields.
Microscopic versus culture methods for diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Our experience

Background: Tuberculosis is considered as one of the most reason for death worldwide including India. In India, population, destitution, lack of healthy sustenance, and profoundly blocked climate may help for disease with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The finding and treatment of tuberculosis in not in appropriate with regular strategies. Here we analyzed the location of M. tuberculosis with two traditional strategies. Materials and Methods: This study was completed to compare and conclude about outcome between the traditional AFB (Acid Fast Bacilli) microscopy and Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) culture strategy for recognition of Mycobacterium spp. in sputums from patients. Results: Among 100 examples, 57 (57%) AFB+ results were seen in microscopy with ZN stain. On LJ culture media, 62 (62%) AFB+ detaches were discovered which uncovers that the way of life could be a highest quality level for conclusion of TB. Conclusion: The AFB smear is fast, modest and explicit test for early finding of TB however Its affectability is low when contrasted with refined strategy in LJ medium which is the gold standard for the confirmation of tuberculosis.
Effects of virtual reality training on upper extremity function and activities of daily living in patients with sub-acute stroke

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of virtual reality training on upper extremity function and activities of daily living in patients with sub-acute stroke. The present study enrolled 18 patients with sub-acute stroke. All subjects were assigned into either the experimental group (n=9) or control group (n=9). Both groups received conventional occupational therapy for 30 minutes/day, 5 times a week, for 4 weeks. Additionally, the experimental group performed virtual reality training in each session for 30 minutes/day, and the control group conducted conventional occupational therapy in each session for 30 minutes/day. The outcome measures were performed through the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and the Korean-modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) before and after intervention. In results, the experimental group showed significant improvements in the scores of FMA and K-MBI after intervention (p<.05). The control group showed significant improvements in the shoulder/elbow/forearm, wrist, and hand sub-domains of the FMA and K-MBI (p<.05). After intervention, the experimental group showed significantly greater improvements in the total score and in the wrist and hand sub-domains of the FMA than control group (p<.05). These findings suggest that virtual reality training may have positive effects on the improvements of upper extremity function in patients with sub-acute stroke.
Outcome stratification of patients with impaired renal functions after isolated prosthetic mitral valve replacement

Objectives: Patients with impaired renal functions have a variable risk of morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular surgery. Poor outcome was reported among patients who underwent valve surgery. Current study is presumed to compare the early outcomes of patients having different degrees of impaired renal functions and undergoing mitral valve replacement surgery. Methods: 135 patients were admitted into the three highly specialized centers in Cairo and Ismailia–Egypt between Dec.2018 and Jan.2020 Preoperative, intraoperative and early post-operative data were recorded. Impairment may present as one of these strata: early reversible (G1-2 included strata 1 & 2 kidney disease patients), moderate G3-4 included strata 3 & 4 kidney disease patients) or advanced irreversible renal damage. (The 5th stratum or G5-KD included end stage renal disease patients undergoing 4-hour hemodialysis sessions, three times a week, with bicarbonate dialysate). We correlated outcome among each stratum with cardiac and renal functions in that stratum. Results: The more is the impairment of renal functions at any peri- operative stage, the longer is the need for prolonged mechanical ventilation and the longer is the hospital stay. We found that levels of serum creatinine were significantly increased postoperatively Also, the more is the reversibility of the renal impairment, even by renal dialysis, the much better is the outcome (P=.0019). We also found insignificant difference between different strata of irreversible renal impairment in the early outcome of the prosthetic mitral valve replacement surgery. The early reversible damage can be repaired peri-operatively. Conclusions: Prosthetic mitral valve replacement among patients with different degrees of impaired renal functions is not only feasible but also it does not seem to add any more deterioration into renal function. Prolonged mechanical ventilation and hospital stay are the only drawbacks of irreversibly impaired renal damage by dialysis or renal transplant.
