Authors: Ryan Donny Taufik , Khatimah Khusnul
Published: February 2023

Public service motivation is a construct that aims to understand individuals who work in the public service sector and also to explain individual behavior in public organizations. Aspect of public service motivation are compassion, attraction to public service, commitment to public values and Self-scarifice. This systematic literature review aims to analyze 49 international journals regarding the antecedents and outcomes of public service motivational variables. The results of systematic reflection on the literature review show that the antecedents of public service motivation include person-job fit, spirituality, and work environment. Meanwhile, transformational leadership and satisfaction are the antecedents in the literature of previous research journals that are known to appear most often. Then on the outcome of public service motivation found the results of Turnover intention, Work engagement, Organizational citizen behavior. Most of the results found in conjunction with research on public service motivation are organizational performance and organizational citizenship. These findings are useful for expanding the study of public service motivation from various perspectives of methods, theories and research subject areas.
Before the last exit: Chance for Lula to save democracy and market in Brazil
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Ozturk Ibrahim
Published: February 2023

After the Cold War, not only the economic discontent created by capitalism and globalization went to the extreme, leaving the environment at the mercy of multinational corporations, but also the perception that the sovereignty, autonomy and independence of nations, and with them, the right to self-determination was increased to a limited extent. In particular, as the global crises of 2008-2009 hit people’s lives hard, the sense of "being left behind" prepared the ground for the demand and supply of populist politics. However, populist governments not only failed to achieve any progress on the main problems complained about, rather the contrary, but primarily right-wing authoritarian-populist governments also worsened the situation by threatening multilateralism, democracy, human rights and the free market economy worldwide. Besides, the Covid-19 pandemic since 2020 posed quite mixed results for the future of populism. While the populists gained strength in the opposition, the right-wing populists in government began to lose power. Therefore, in such an environment, in Brazil, the rise of Lula’s left-wing (and to some extent populist) government to power after defeating a right-wing authoritarian government has potential implications for the future of democracy, human rights, the market economy, and multilateralism. If the Lula government takes a reformist, transformative, and progressive path, it can become a positive role model for other countries under populism threat. However, this article questions the possibility of that under local and global constraints.
Predictive power of grit and emotional intelligence on research anxiety experience of students
Authors: Eteng-Uket Stella , Njaka Rita Chikwem
Published: February 2023

Research anxiety is one critical factor that may hinder the research activities of students, and variables like grit and emotional intelligence are factors that may exert influences on anxiety levels as well as the research performance of students in the tertiary institution. Thus the study looked into the predictive power of grit and emotional intelligence on the research anxiety experience of tertiary education students. It adopted the correlational research design. To direct the study, three null hypotheses and three research questions were developed. The study's population included all 5,765 undergraduate students at the University of Port Harcourt. A sample of 294 was drawn using stratified random sampling. The Research Anxiety Questionnaire, Emotional Intelligence Appraisal, and the Grit Scale were the instruments used. The validity of these tools was guaranteed. The Cronbach alpha method obtained high-reliability coefficients for the three instruments. Data were analyzed using simple and multiple regressions. The result revealed that grit and emotional intelligence independently and jointly significantly predict the research anxiety experience of students in tertiary education. Considering findings, it was suggested that students in tertiary education receive training that focuses on developing both their grit and emotional intelligence. This essential training could help students to become more resilient in the face of challenges and setbacks, as well as better equipped to manage their emotions in high-pressure academic situations.

Queer Male Asian American Disidentification in On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous and Neotenica
Authors: Shia Christopher
Published: February 2023

This paper offers a reading of two recent novels that grapple with queer male Asian American identity, Ocean Vuong’s novel, On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous (2019) and Joon Oluchi Lee’s Neotenica (2020), analyzing them in part through Jose Muñoz’s concept of “disidentification.” This concept, although produced by and for Latinx queers, is useful for exploring the simultaneous subversion of and attraction to American white patriarchal hegemony by those excluded from it. Research in the past has examined On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous (2019) from various angles, such as Cho (2022), examining refugee and queer shame, and Slopek (2021) looking at non-normative masculinities. Little research exists about Neotenica (2020) due to its recency. Utilizing queer theory, this paper builds off of previous research on On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous (2019) and adds to the analysis through the comparison with Neotenica (2020). At first look, the two books provide seemingly contrasting stories, with one appearing to affirm the stereotype of Asian men as submissive, desexualized, and feminine, the other turning this stereotype on its head. But on closer inspection, they are similar stories that both provide a nuanced look at queer Asian American male disidentification that does not define it as purely empowering or disempowering.

Authors: Ulnang Arijanti Susana , Salesman Frans
Published: February 2023

Clinical leadership is the important skill to delivery better service in health care. The skills equip health practitioners to act autonomously, making decision, work collaboratively with other disciplines (Hendricks, Cope, & Harris, 2010). This skills is gained from education or training programs. In Indonesia, Midwifery diploma programs has no curricula attached clinical leadership unit. Meanwhile, graduated midwives is highly expected for being versatile workforce that is ready to be employed in health services with leaderships skills. Therefore, it is essentially important to equip diploma students in Indonesia with clinical leadership skills that incorporate within institutional curriculum. Objectives of this essay are to discuss the clinical leadership training in midwifery diplomas programs discuss how to incorporate clinical leadership training into curricula in Indonesian diploma programs, formulate what will be tough in clinical leadership unit for diploma students, determine when the clinical leadership unit will be tough. Method of this study is qualitative using case study approach. Results the clinical leadership skills that incorporated in midwifery diploma programs in Indonesia is important to develop midwives’ ability in managing complex responsibility in health care and particularly in delivering quality health service. Therefore, Indonesian midwifery organisations and education institutions, policy makers, users should collaborate for the initiation of clinical leadership and it is formed in the curricula.

Published: February 2023

The classic way to keep features and patterns of nature is to take under special protection, but protected areas (PA) cannot remain outside of the risks associated with climate change and human activities. Therefore, we considered methods for conducting disaster risk assessment in protected areas, determining current threats from climate change and human activities, and developing a plan, which accounted for mitigation for the potential future risk. In this study, the risk of a specially protected area was assessed using a disaster risk survey method. The novelty of this study is to emphasize that management planning in PAs is based on the result of the risk assessment. In this study, the “Khuisiin Naiman nuur” protected area was selected as a representative PA, and local economic, social, and disaster data, climatic data of the last decade, and interviews and surveys from representatives of herders, tour companies, travelers, local administrative organizations and private sectors were analyzed. Estimates were made based on data from focus group interviews and questionnaires. The methods and results of this study can be applied to other PA’s protection and utilization planning.

Performances sociales híbridos. El caso de la tauromaquia urbana en el Perú contemporáneo
Authors: Gauna Peralta Aníbal Francisco , Gonzales del Valle Cortez Milena Anahí , Espinoza Huertas Daniela , Chachi Quiroz Natalia Giovanna
Published: February 2023

La teoría performativa de la acción social no ha considerado suficientemente la posibilidad de la hibridez, ni por tanto las consecuencias de dicha consideración. Sobre la base de 14 entrevistas semiestructuradas a toreros, aficionados y antitaurinos, en este artículo analizamos un caso de un performance social híbrido humano / no-humano: la tauromaquia en el Perú urbano actual. Dicho performance es leído de manera contrapuesta por los taurinos y los antitaurinos en interpretaciones conflictivas sobre el significado mismo de la cultura: estética-tradición-diversidad versus banalidad-costumbres foráneas-muerte/sufrimiento. Proponemos que ambas visiones pueden coincidir en la estructuración pragmática de sus significados, como performances híbridos. Al interpretar de esta manera la tauromaquia, emerge una visión de la corrida de toros como un performance de poder de la especie humana sobre otras especies, sublimado artísticamente.
Reseña de Tonkonoff (2017) From Tarde to Deleuze and Foucault. The Infinitesimal Revolution
Authors: Bouzas Carla , Angeloni Deborah
Published: February 2023

“From Tarde to Deleuze and Foucault. The Infinitesimal Revolution” se propone contribuir al desarrollo de un paradigma que se encuentra aún en formación, desde el cual se sostiene la primacía de lo relacional, lo heterogéneo y lo múltiple. A lo largo del trabajo, el autor produce una inversión y descentramiento de los puntos de vista derivados de los enfoques clásicos, llevando a cabo una resignificación de conceptos clásicos como los de individuo y sociedad.
Tarde, Deleuze y Foucault son algunos de los autores que se incluirán dentro de este paradigma debido a que, según la interpretación hecha de sus obras, comparten formas análogas de concebir lo social.

Authors:   Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Laos, Vientiane, La PDR, Chanphavong Lemthong
Published: February 2023

To mitigate dependence on fossil fuels, the government of Lao PDR has promoted the development of alternative fuel production in the country. Biodiesel is one of the most feasible and attractive fuels. This paper presents a lab-scale biodiesel production from used cooking oil (UCO) and its cost appraisal. This biodiesel production is based on the base-catalyzed transesterification reaction. The optimum parameter value in terms of catalyst concentration and amount of methanol is examined to achieve the best biodiesel yield. The results of this study revealed that the optimized condition for producing biodiesel from 1 liter of UCO is obtained using 12 g of KOH and 20 % of MeOH under the operating temperature of 60 °C and mixing time of 30 min. With this condition, the maximum yield of biodiesel is obtained at 91.3%. The total cost of production for 1 liter of biodiesel produced is approximately 17782 LAK. Production quantity at break-even point is about 41989 liters, achieving a payback period of 2.67 years.

Agriculture is one of the pillars of the life of the Indonesian nation. Indonesian agriculture became world famous with the title of the best spice producer in the world and became a Southeast Asian rice barn at that time. Time and history have changed along with the many changes that have occurred in various fields where rice farming has also become a developing field with agricultural techniques that have developed more advanced than conventional agriculture. However, unfortunately the current developments are not accompanied by an even distribution of education received by farmers from cities to remote rural areas who still use conventional processing techniques so that the productivity produced is far in comparison to farmers who use more modern farming techniques supported by broader knowledge. Based on the problems above, the creation of a website containing education in the form of videos and articles on agriculture, especially rice, is more modern so that farmers in remote areas are not left behind byfarmers in urban areas. The choice of website as an educational tool is because it is more effective and efficient in reaching very remote areas. By looking at smartphone usage data which continues to increase and there is no need to install an application to access this website, this is the main reason for choosing a website as the main means of conveying information. It is hoped that with this writing or research, the gap in knowledge of rice cultivation in urban and rural areas will be narrowed so that the productivity of rice farming will increase so that farmers will prosper.

The study was conducted to know the pathology and cytokine gene expression studies in experimental infection with Pasteurella multocida in mice. Swiss albino mice (20) were inoculated with P. multocida (200 μl of 1 × 108 cfu/ml) and control mice with sterile PBS intraperitoneally and sacrificed 4 mice at 6, 12, 18 and 24 h. Mice showed dullness, lethargy and unable to move at 18 and 24 h after inoculation. Histopathology revealed changes in liver, kidney, spleen, lung and no observable changes in heart and abdominal muscles. Liver showed septicemia condition and acute bronchopneumonia of lung at 24 h. TNF-α gene showed 20-fold increase in liver and spleen and 5-folds in kidney. There was upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines in liver, kidney, spleen and IL–10 gene at later periods of infection which is a new finding, needs further study. Thus, the present study indicated that increase in tissue cytokine gene expression concurred with histopathological changes were attributed to the pathogenesis of Pasteurellosis in mice.

Haemonchus contortus is a highly pathogenic and most economically important parasite of sheep and goats worldwide. The cysteine proteases from H. contortus are prime targets for vaccine development. In the present communication we report the molecular expression and characterization of cathepsin B-like cysteine protease, GCP7 gene of H. contortus to study its efficiency as target protein for immunoprophylaxis against haemonchosis in sheep and goats. The complete ORF of GCP7 gene, devoid of the signal sequence, was amplified by RT-PCR from mRNA isolated from H. contortus and was cloned initially into pTZ57R/T cloning vector and then sub-cloned in the pET32a(+) expression vector to produce GCP7 antigen. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of the GCP7 was aligned against the related sequences of H. contortus available in public domain for in silico analysis by DNA STAR and MEGA version 4.0 softwares. The nucleotide sequence revealed that the GCP7 gene of H.contortus (Indian isolate) encodes 324 amino acids (devoid of signal sequence) and its nucleotide sequence had 95.9% to 99.4% sequence homology with that of U.S.A. and previously published Indian isolates. A high level expression of recombinant (r) GCP7 protein was observed in the molecular range (Mr) of 55 kDa. The rGCP7 protein was confirmed by its specific immunoreactivity against known reference positive sheep sera.
In vitro antioxidative potential of Artemisia indica Willd
Authors: RUWALI PUSHPA , AMBWANI TANUJ KUMAR , GAUTAM PANKAJ
Published: February 2023

There is enough evidence, including epidemiological studies indicating the relationship between the plant antioxidants and reduction of chronic diseases in animals and humans. This paper is the first report regarding the evaluation of in vitro antioxidative potential of Artemisia indica Willd. extracts (AEs), a perennial herb found in western Himalayas and many other parts of world, traditionally utilized as medicine and food for livestock and humans. The dried and powdered aerial parts were Soxhlet extracted with methanol (AME), ethanol (AEE) and 50% hydro-methanol (AHME), to compare the extraction efficacies of these solvents. These respective crude extracts were then subjected to DPPH, H2O2, NO scavenging and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) assays. For scavenging assays, various concentrations of each extract in triplicate, were tested with Quercetin as the standard. All AEs exhibited a significant DPPH, H2O2 and NO scavenging activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Lower to higher order of the IC50 value of all three scavenging assays were AME<AEE<AHME. TAC was expressed as ascorbic acid equivalents (AAE), with AME giving comparatively the highest TAC. Methanol proved to be better solvent system (as compared to ethanol and 50% hydro-methanol) in context to the antioxidative activity of A. indica, as AME gave consistently better results. Therefore, choice of extraction solvent is an important criterion regarding selecting a specific biological activity. The in vitro antioxidative potential of various AEs as evident by these assays may well be attributed to the presence of various polyphenolic compounds, as we have earlier reported (elsewhere) that A. indica possess a good amount of TPC and TFC. In gist, A. indica has a significant potential to be developed/used as a natural source of antioxidant not only as a food supplement for animals and humans, but also as an antioxidant additive in packaged food and animal feed industries.

Authors: KUMAR DEVENDRA , CHATLI MANISH KUMAR , SINGH RAGHVENDAR , MEHTA NITIN , KUMAR PAVAN
Published: February 2023

Sequential ultra-filtration technique was used to fractionate camel milk protein hydrolysates products by 3 different proteolytic enzymes, viz. alcalase, α-chymotrypsin and papain. The protein fractions were assessed for antioxidant activities, viz. 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), 2,2-diphenyl-1 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP), and antimicrobial activity (inhibition zone assay). The whole hydrolysates recorded significantly higher inhibition activity in ABTS, DPPH and FRAP assay, whereas among fractions, F2 (1-5 kDa) and F3 (5-10 kDa) of all the 3 hydrolysates had higher activity. Higher antioxidant activities was also observed in α- chymotrypsin hydrolysates samples and its fractions followed by alcalase and papain. The zone of inhibition (mm) was also recorded higher for whole hydrolysates as compared to their fractions; however, different fractions had almost comparable antimicrobial effect. The protein hydrolyastes with alcalase and α- chymotrypsin recorded comperatively higher antimicrobial activity. The findings suggested that camel milk proteins could be valuable source to produce protein hydrolysates and ultra-filtration technique could also be used to get specific molecular weight peptides, however, for application in processed food or for direct human consumption, use of whole hydrolysates could be more beneficial and cost effective.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of factors affecting milk quality of crossbred dairy cows milked in automated Herringbone milking system. The study was conducted on 37 crossbred Karan Fries cows of different parities, stages of lactation and udder types for 3 months. The milk quality was assessed based on milk composition, on-line electrical conductivity (EC) and peak conductivity, somatic cell count (SCC) and standard plate count (SPC) of milk samples. The results showed that there was no change in milk composition in terms of fat and SNF except in different parity groups. The milk conductivity was significantly higher in the late stage of lactation. However, no change in SCC values was observed. The udder types showed significant increase in EC values in udders with poor structure and loose attachment. The SCC values were also significantly higher for such udder types. The SPC was significantly higher when the number of milkings on each liner exceeded 2000 milkings/liner. The SCC was had a positive correlation with EC and SPC. The correlation between SPC and SCC was highly significant whereas, EC was moderately correlated with SPC. It can be concluded that the milk quality of crossbred dairy cows was significantly affected by parity, stages of lactation, udder type and liner usage in automated parlours. Therefore, effective management strategy needs to be taken to improve the quality of milk taking into consideration on-line EC, SCC and SPC.

The present study was focused to estimate the effect of certain genetic and non-genetic factors, viz. sire, season and period on the AFC, MY, PY and fat % of crossbred cattle of farmers reared under the tropical conditions of Punjab state of India. The records on first lactation milk yield and reproduction performance of 3,008 crossbred cattle spread over a period of 18 years (1995-2012) were used for the study to assess the impact of crossbred cattleperformance in this area. The production traits considered were age at first calving (AFC), first lactation 305-days or less milk yield (FL305DMY), peak yield (PY) and fat%. The overall least squares means for AFC, MY, PY and fat% were estimated as 1092.009±07.96 (days), 3214.488±26.58 kg, 12.922±0.10 kg and 3.739±0.01%, respectively. The effect of sire was highly significant on all the traits while the effect of season was significant on MY, peak yield and fat%. However, the effect of period was highly significant on MY and fat% only. It is also reflected that the fluctuations in extreme climatic conditions did affect these traits in milch crossbred cattle maintained under tropical farming conditions. The heritability estimates of different production traits, viz. FL305DMY, PY and fat% were 0.316±0.054, 0.177±0.042 and 0.064±0.032, respectively.

A long-term experimental study was conducted at the research farm under All India Coordinated Research Project,Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth Parbhani, Maharashtra to assess the impact of continuous cultivationof soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in Vertisol (Typic Haplusterts) using varying levels of chemical fertilizer and manure applications on approximately 7th cycle data on soil quality indicators (physical, chemical and biological), a sustainable yield index (SYI) and a soil quality index (SQI). Application of NPK fertilizers in combination with FYM also significantly increased in benefit cost ratio, higher average grain yield of soybean and safflower and enhanced the soil quality and sustainability of the system compared to the control and plots in receipt of fertilizers. A greater SYI and SQI in the 100% NPK+FYM@ 5 Mg/ha treatment demonstrated the importance of using a chemical fertilizer in combination with FYM. Among the different nutrient management supply system, economical and more sustainable nutrient management system (NPK+FYM) could be used to monitor soil quality and getting higher productivity of soybean and safflower in a semiarid agro-ecosystem.

Gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus ex. Hookes F.) is one of the most popular commercial flowers worldwide used both as cut flower and potted plant. Conventionally, it is propagated through vegetative means such as divisions of clump which is very slow process and not commercially viable. Rapid multiplication of elite hybrids/genotypes with improved quality traits, has been achieved by using both direct and indirect tissue culture methods. Gerbera hybrid seeds obtained by half-sib mating were raised in half strength MS medium. The earliest days for seed germination(2.00), first leaf development (3.00 days) and rooting (3.00 days) was recorded line IIHR1-1, IIHR 5-4 and IIHR1-1, IIHR1-2, IIHR1-5, IIHR3-2 and IIHR5-4. The response of in vitro leaf explants to callusing and regeneration was recorded when cultured on full strength Murashige and Skoog's media supplemented with different concentrations of 2,4-D or BAP or IAA and Kinetin. Leaf explants cultured on MS medium fortified with equal concentration of BA (1 mg l-1) and 2, 4-D (1 mg l-1) produced green and greenish white granular callus within 25 days, however, leaf explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D produced yellowish callus. Plant regeneration was also found earliest in the same media within 14 days.

La investigación se planteó con el fin de diseñar una propuesta de modelo estratégico que contribuya a la distribución de alimentos de los comités de vaso de leche de la municipalidad provincial de San Martín, 2021. La investigación fue de tipo básico, con un diseño descriptivo propositivo. Existen procesos de toma de decisiones estratégicas que, de acuerdo a la teoría del procesamiento de información organizacional, la visión de la empresa permite argumentar la racionalidad procedimental y politización como un efecto negativo en la internacionalización de las pymes. Se evidenció la importancia que tiene la inteligencia estratégica de los líderes empresariales para el desarrollo y crecimiento de su organización a su cargo. Se demostró que la globalización de la producción de los alimentos influye en la estructura de la distribución de las cadenas de suministros de alimentos. en modelización de un sistema de distribución de la cadena de suministro de cereales alimentarios sostenible, mencionaron que la demanda de los alimentos, la degradación ambiental, las perdidas postcosecha y la escasez de recursos alientan a los tomadores de decisiones de los países en desarrollo a integrar los aspectos económicos y ambientales en el diseño de la red de distribución de los alimentos. El problema más importante de la competitividad de las universidades rusas es la falta de flexibilidad estratégica, que afecta a todo el sistema de educación universitaria para Rusia. Concluyendo que el modelo estratégico es una herramienta poderosa en la gestión de programas sociales que permite el cumplimiento de los objetivos estratégicos de cualquier tipo de organización de una manera eficiente; además que la distribución de los alimentos, cumple una función principal en la generación de desarrollo para la sociedad y el modelo estratégico cumple un papel importante en la determinación de la distribución de alimentos.
