A Novel Mode of Sympathetic Reflex Activation Mediated by the Enteric Nervous System
Authors: Hibberd T. J. , Yew W. P. , Chen B. N. , Costa M. , Brookes S. J. , Spencer N. J.
Published: July 2020

Enteric viscerofugal neurons provide a pathway by which the enteric nervous system (ENS), otherwise confined to the gut wall, can activate sympathetic neurons in prevertebral ganglia. Firing transmitted through these pathways is currently considered fundamentally mechanosensory. The mouse colon generates a cyclical pattern of neurogenic contractile activity, called the colonic motor complex (CMC). Motor complexes involve a highly coordinated firing pattern in myenteric neurons with a frequency of ∼2 Hz. However, it remains unknown how viscerofugal neurons are activated and communicate with the sympathetic nervous system during this naturally-occurring motor pattern. Here, viscerofugal neurons were recorded extracellularly from rectal nerve trunks in isolated tube and flat-sheet preparations of mouse colon held at fixed circumferential length. In freshly dissected preparations, motor complexes were associated with bursts of viscerofugal firing at 2 Hz that aligned with 2-Hz smooth muscle voltage oscillations. This behavior persisted during muscle paralysis with nicardipine. Identical recordings were made after a 4- to 5-d organotypic culture during which extrinsic nerves degenerated, confirming that recordings were from viscerofugal neurons. Single unit analysis revealed the burst firing pattern emerging from assemblies of viscerofugal neurons differed from individual neurons, which typically made partial contributions, highlighting the importance and extent of ENS-mediated synchronization. Finally, sympathetic neuron firing was recorded from the central nerve trunks emerging from the inferior mesenteric ganglion. Increased sympathetic neuron firing accompanied all motor complexes with a 2-Hz burst pattern similar to viscerofugal neurons. These data provide evidence for a novel mechanism of sympathetic reflex activation derived from synchronized firing output generated by the ENS.
The Right to Privacy and Medical Confidentiality – Some Remarks in Light of ECtHR Case Law
Authors: Wnukiewicz-Kozłowska Agata
Published: July 2020

This article is devoted to a selection of ECtHR judgements concerning the right of a patient to have his or her privacy respected, and the corresponding duty of doctors to keep medical confidentiality. The case law of this court confirms the fundamental importance of trust between the patient and the therapist. It also underlines that one important scope of the right to privacy is the patient’s medical data, which is subject to legal protection. The law allows for a limitation of the obligation to maintain medical confidentiality, but only on the basis and within the limits of the law.

Authors: Dardari Dured , Penfornis Alfred , Hartemann Agnes
Published: July 2020

We report the onset of acute Charcot neuroarthropathy during pregnancy in two patients with type 1 diabetes using retrospective review of case notes. We describe for the first time the onset of acute Charcot neuroarthropathy during pregnancy in two patients with type 1 diabetes. Pregnancy may promote the onset and worsening of a number of diabetic complications. A link between pregnancy and the onset of acute Charcot neuroarthropathy is demonstrated for the first time in this report.

Learning points:

Patients with already diagnosed sensitive neuropathy can develop an active phase of Charcot neuroarthropathy during pregnancy.

The rapid correction of hyperglycaemia may induce an active phase of Charcot neuroarthropathy during pregnancy.

Published: July 2020

Objective:

Specific comorbidities and old age create a greater vulnerability to severe Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19). While obesity seems to aggravate the course of disease, the actual impact of the BMI and the cutoff which increases illness severity are still under investigation. The aim of the study was to analyze whether the BMI represented a risk factor for respiratory failure, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and death.

Research design and methods:

A retrospective cohort study of 482 consecutive COVID-19 patients hospitalised between March 1 and April 20, 2020. Logistic regression analysis and Cox proportion Hazard models including demographic characteristics and comorbidities were carried out to predict the endpoints within 30 days from the onset of symptoms.

Results:

Of 482 patients, 104 (21.6%) had a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. At logistic regression analysis, a BMI between 30 and 34.9 kg/m2 significantly increased the risk of respiratory failure (OR: 2.32; 95% CI: 1.31–4.09, P = 0.004) and admission to the ICU (OR: 4.96; 95% CI: 2.53–9.74, P < 0.001). A significantly higher risk of death was observed in patients with a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 (OR: 12.1; 95% CI: 3.25–45.1, P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

Obesity is a strong, independent risk factor for respiratory failure, admission to the ICU and death among COVID-19 patients. A BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 identifies a population of patients at high risk for severe illness, whereas a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 dramatically increases the risk of death.

Este artículo presenta el caso de la comunidad del Alto Simacota (Santander, Colombia), que fue objeto de la implementación de un programa administrativo de reparación colectiva. Aborda una revisión teórica de la reparación colectiva, hace un recorrido por este proceso administrativo en sus años de implementación en la comunidad estudiada, presenta una descripción de la concepción de paz territorial que tiene esta comunidad y, finalmente, analiza los aportes que ha brindado el proceso administrativo de reparación colectiva a la construcción de paz territorial para esta población. El texto da cuenta de los aportes en materia de rehabilitación comunitaria y medidas de satisfacción alcanzados, al tiempo que evidencia el bajo impacto de las acciones de restitución y garantías de no repetición. El artículo concluye que existe aún una deuda por parte de las instituciones del Estado en el cumplimiento del derecho a la reparación integral y en la contribución a la construcción de paz.
Paz y desarrollo: dos conceptos irreconciliables para las Mujeres Amazónicas del Ecuador
Authors: Álvarez Lugo Yesica
Published: July 2020

Paz y desarrollo son dos conceptos irreconciliables para las mujeres lideresas y dirigentes de la Amazonía norte, centro y sur del Ecuador. En este contexto, el desarrollo es sinónimo de neoextractivismo y, por lo tanto, supone la devastación de sus territorios y formas de vida en armonía con la Naturaleza. En este caso el consenso de las commodities toma forma bajo la amenaza constante de la Ronda Suroriente y las Rondas Intercampos, a partir de la cual entran a licitación bloques petroleros localizados en sus territorios ancestrales. El colectivo Mujeres Amazónicas —integrado al movimiento indígena ecuatoriano, pero como sujeto político con personalidad propia— exige el cumplimiento de su mandato. A través de este y de sus testimonios directos nos acercaremos a la comprensión de esta relación irresoluble entre paz y desarrollo, y reconoceremos las diferentes formas de violencia que este modelo extractivista imprime en sus cuerpos y territorios, por su posición como defensoras de la selva y como mujeres. Además, tomando como eje la historia de la Ronda Suroriente, abordaremos las disputas entre las diferentes jurisdicciones y territorialidades en conflicto, que combaten por mantener modos de vida en armonía con la Naturaleza o instaurar / profundizar el modelo desarrollista-economicista imperante.

Published: July 2020

The study of microbiomes by sequencing has revealed a plethora of correlations between microbial community composition and various life-history characteristics of the corresponding host species. However, inferring causation from correlation is often hampered by the sheer compositional complexity of microbiomes, even in simple organisms. Synthetic communities offer an effective approach to infer cause-effect relationships in host-microbiome systems. Yet the available communities suffer from several drawbacks, such as artificial (thus non-natural) choice of microbes, microbe-host mismatch (e.g., human microbes in gnotobiotic mice), or hosts lacking genetic tractability. Here we introduce CeMbio, a simplified natural Caenorhabditis elegans microbiota derived from our previous meta-analysis of the natural microbiome of this nematode. The CeMbio resource is amenable to all strengths of the C. elegans model system, strains included are readily culturable, they all colonize the worm gut individually, and comprise a robust community that distinctly affects nematode life-history. Several tools have additionally been developed for the CeMbio strains, including diagnostic PCR primers, completely sequenced genomes, and metabolic network models. With CeMbio, we provide a versatile resource and toolbox for the in-depth dissection of naturally relevant host-microbiome interactions in C. elegans.
Adolescentes, televisão e ciência: um estudo exploratório a partir da publicidade brasileira
Authors: De Carvalho Vanessa Brasil , Massarani Luisa
Published: July 2020

Este artigo apresenta uma análise qualitativa na intersecção entre os campos da divulgação científica e comunicação, trazendo reflexões sobre a percepção pública da ciência de adolescentes brasileiros identificada a partir de publicidades televisivas. Por meio de entrevistas, buscamos entender de que forma esses jovens entendem e se relacionam com os conteúdos científicos presentes nessas programações televisivas que, tão recorrentemente, fazem uso de tais conteúdos como um recurso motivador de compra. Os entrevistados se mostraram bastante críticos à programação televisiva, evidenciando que constroem diversos sentidos a partir dela. Embora os resultados não sejam conclusivos ou exaustivos, em virtude do caráter qualitativo desta pesquisa, percebemos que é possível que a percepção dos jovens sobre o conceito de ciência possa estar ligada à abordagem desses assuntos em publicidades.

Dynamics of rice sub-sector in Nepal: Research investment, production, and supply chain
Authors: Pandit Rajendra , Devkota Durga , Devkota Naba R. , Bhattarai Prakash C. , Shrestha Hari K.
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Rice is a major cereal crop that ensures food security and rural income generation in Nepal. The objectives of this study were to analyse the dynamics of the rice sub-sector from the perspective of production, research investment, and supply chain as expected outcomes are not yet achieved in spite of continuity in priority for research and production investment. Accordingly, this study was done by using secondary data covering 2000 to 2018 combined with a case study. For the case study, Morang, the district with the highest rice production was chosen. A random sample of 144 supply chain actors in which 100 rice producers, 10 collectors, 10 wholesalers, 7 millers, and 17 retailers were chosen from the list of the targeted population in each category. Findings revealed that rice production, productivity, and research investment were increasing at the rate of 1.25, 1.65, and 10.57 percent per annum, respectively. There was a strong positive link between research investment and production. Millers were the main value-adding actor. They have been getting the highest profit margin (31.5%) based on investing more (46.51%) in value-added activities. In contrast, farmers received a relatively low-profit margin (13.9%) with a 1.26 benefit-cost ratio. This was mainly due to the low adoption of improved production technology and weak horizontal coordination of rice producers. The percentage of food surplus households has increased, mainly due to the adoption of rice technologies generated by rice research programs, but this has not well reflected in terms of getting more profit margin by the rice-producing farmers. On the other hand, the research investment in rice was not consistent, and even not adequate for the required technology generation. Therefore, an increased investment could enhance the efficiency of generating technology packages, and implementation of effective extension services targeting the rice-growing farmers through increasing total factor productivity is crucial to increase the profit margin of rice producers. Moreover, with strengthened horizontal coordination among the major actors and with the increased investment in value-added activities in each stage of the supply chain based on consumer demand, increased profit margin for making the rice supply chain sustainable.
The Rise of Biological Products in the Crop Protection and Plant Nutrition Markets
Authors: Shoham Jonathan
Published: July 2020

Biological control agents and biostimulants are niche sectors within the Crop Protection and Plant Nutrition sectors which are experiencing rapid growth, driven by an increasingly favourable regulatory environment, growing pest resistance to conventional products, the pull for sustainable
agriculture and technological advances. Whilst there are now more BCAs registered than conventional CP products the products also have some limitations compared with conventional products and the sector remains confined mainly to fruit and vegetables, both indoors (protected crops) and outdoors.
Their future growth will be determined by the extent to which their use can be expanded into broad-acre crops. The markets for crop protection (CP) products (such as herbicides, insecticides and fungicides) and fertilizers (including nitrogen, phosphorus pentoxide, and water-soluble potash)
are generally considered to be mature. In most significant agricultural economies, these markets show single-digit growth at best. Within these markets, however, are two faster-growing sectors: those based on naturally-derived products. Biological control agents (BCAs) and biostimulants are
growing at over 10% a year, according to some estimates BCAs include products such as plant extracts (for control of pests and diseases), insect pheromones (used primarily for mating disruption), predatory insects, and microbial products (often the output of fermentation processes). BCAs also
address biotic stresses on crops, such as pests, diseases, and weeds. Biostimulants include amino acids, seaweed-based products, and humic and fulvic acids. These products trigger the processes that enhance nutrient use, increase tolerance to abiotic stress such drought and temperature extremes,
enhance availability of confined nutrients in soil, and address quality traits beyond the effects of mineral nutrients. The distinction between BCAs and biostimulants is not always clear. Specific products can exhibit the properties of both categories, as with some plant oils. For regulatory
purposes, classification depends on which properties companies claim. Both markets are still relatively niche, with $2 to $3 billion in 2018 sales at the ex-manufacturer level. With hundreds of products, these markets are also complex and fragmented. In comparison, the total
CP market is valued at $57 billion and the total chemical fertilizer market has a value of over $100 billion for primary nutrients. BCAs and biostimulants are not new. In the BCA category, commercial Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-based products have been around since the 1960s
and pheromones were introduced in the 1970s. Only recently, however, has their popularity increased.
New Wilker-type and Huygens-type inequalities
Authors: ZHU Ling , MALESEVİC Branko
Published: July 2020

In this paper, we first determine the relationships between the first Wilker's inequality, the second Wilker's inequality, the first Huygens inequality, and the second Huygens inequality for circular functions and for hyperbolic functions, respectively. Then, we establish new Wilker-type inequalities and Huygens-type inequalities for two function pairs, $x/\sin^{-1}x$ and $x/\tan ^{-1}x$, $x/\sinh ^{-1}x$ and $x/\tanh ^{-1}x$. Finally, we obtain some more general conclusions than the first work of this paper, which reveal the absolute monotonicity of four functions involving the four inequalities mentioned above.
Rings whose total graphs have small vertex-arboricity and arboricity
Authors: FATEHİ Morteza , KHASHYARMANESH Kazem , MOHAMMADİAN Abbas
Published: July 2020

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with non-zero identity, and $Z(R)$ be its set of all zero-divisors. The total graph of $R$, denoted by $T(\Gamma(R))$, is an undirected graph with all elements of $R$ as vertices, and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $x+y\in Z(R)$. In this article, we characterize, up to isomorphism, all of finite commutative rings whose total graphs have vertex-arboricity (arboricity) two or three. Also, we show that, for a positive integer $v$, the number of finite rings whose total graphs have vertex-arboricity (arboricity) $v$ is finite.

Authors: Aury Janeth Aury Janeth , Vargas Hernández César Asdraldo
Published: July 2020

Introduction: The article is the product of the research "Application of the ISO 9001 standard version 2015 in the leather, footwear and leather goods industry of the Restrepo sector, Bogotá D.C." developed at the Francisco José de Caldas district university during the years 2018 and 2019.
Objective: Formulate strategies that allow SMEs to apply ISO 9001: 2015 in the leather, footwear and leather goods industry in SMEs of the Restrepo sector of the city of Bogotá-Colombia.
Methodology: Surveys and a bibliographic inquiry were carried out to characterize the subject of the study; make a comparison at an international, national and local level; make a diagnosis of the application of the standard, and propose strategies for its implementation.
Conclusion: About 78% of companies in the sector have the potential to be certified in the norm, although they must urgently implement information and communication technologies at the operational and documentary level, and those that are not legally formalized must register before the competent legal entities.
Originality: Through this research, strategies for the implementation of ISO 9001: 2015 for SMEs in the Restrepo sector in Bogotá are formulated for the first time.
Limitations: The results expose the problems found in a Bogotá cluster, which allow for making inferences for the case of Colombia, but it might not be the case for other countries with higher production or different conditions in the industry.

Theorical and experimental evaluation of CO2 emissions from commercial diesel B10 AND biodiesel B100
Authors: Ramírez Velasco Carlos Alonso , Pérez Ortega Diego Javier , Pereira Martínez Ricardo Ignacio , Bolaños Alomía Fabio Andrés
Published: July 2020

Introduction: This article is a product of the research “Theoretical and experimental evaluation of CO2emissions from commercial diesel B10 and biodiesel B100”, developed at the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia and the Universidad Mariana of Pasto, in the years 2018 and 2019.
Problem: The use of fossil diesel B10 and biodiesel B100 in engines creates CO2emissions and it is necessary to quantify them.
Objective: To quantize the CO2emissions from the exhaust of an engine, using B10 and B100 fuels.
Methodology: The motor of an electric power plant was subjected to three power settings. Two factors were taken into account: the type of diesel and power generated, and the effect on the CO2emissions.
Results: CO2inventories and emissions are higher with B10, although this is not always the case. They are also higher when more power is generated.
Conclusion: The higher CO2emission does not depend on the type of fuel, but on the chemical composition of the fuel.
Originality: In the world they are made CO2inventories, these are usually done theoretically; however, with this research, actual measurements were made.
Limitations: For reasons of noise and smoke hazards, the experiment was done in an open space. This would have caused slight errors in the results, due to abrupt changes in the climate and variability in the weighing of the fuel.
An experimental design on the SPEM 2.0 process model element classification algorithm of the AVISPA tool through ANOVA variance analysis
Authors: Álvarez Londoño Jhon Jairo , Hurtado Alegría Julio Ariel
Published: July 2020

Introduction: This publication is the product of research: “SPEM 2.0 Process Model Metrics in the Reliability of its Visual Analysis” throughout 2019, which supports the work of a master’s degree in Systems Engineering at the University of Cauca.
Objective: Rebase a process model metrics set in order to increase AVISPA reliability to support the visual analysis of SPEM 2.0 software process models.
Methodology: In order to improve AVISPA, a systematic literature review had been performed to find software process model metrics that are potentially apt to be represented in AVISPA. Next, a set of assessments were performed in order to enhance visual analysis tool. Finally, an ANOVA statistical assessment was realized in order to find a variance differential between AVISPA versions by comparing their F1-Score process model elements classification values.
Results: AVISPA significantly improved its general classification algorithm. Most of errors were found in SPEM 2.0 variability resolution feature and collections with duplicated elements. Multiple misclassifications still persists.
Conclusion: General AVISPA process model elements classification is improved. However, some process model samples remain scattered according to ANOVA results.
Originality: AVISPA is a recent solution for SPEM 2.0 software process model assessment. It's recent emergence carried to a lack of articles about software process model metrics and few works about AVISPA improvements. These are the main contributions of this paper.
Limitations: The project has been widely expensive in terms of execution time, traceability with all software process model elements, and mainly to find experts in software process that can meet the research requirements

Consumer acceptance of Blockchain-Based Traceability Systems in Food Supply Chains
Authors: Füzesi István , Csordás Adrián , Reuf Shkodra , Felföldi János
Published: July 2020

The demand for the history of food is increasing. The used food traceability systems also provide this kind of information, but the appearance of blockchain could open new opportunities in this field. To set up a new food tracking system cost a lot and presumably the companies devolution it's costs on the consumers. To see their openness we examined the previous studies. According to these papers, the interest of the costumers is mixed. There are studies where a huge percentage of the surveyed want more information but the extra fee what the new system would cause should be not so much higher than the original price. Based on the available information the forecast of a new food tracking system was made with Anylogic simulation software that showed a lack of interest from the consumers’ side. The reason could be the low rate of the advertisements’ effectiveness and the high premium price of extra information as well.
Digitalized business processes – assessment and opportunities of Hungarian agri-food companies
Authors: Botos Szilvia , Szilágyi Róbert , Tóth Mihály , Ráthonyi Gergely , Felföldi János
Published: July 2020

Digitalization in agri-food supply chain has become increasingly important since safe and secure food supply is a priority for stakeholders. ICT-based (Information and Communication Technologies) business solutions have an impact on the whole food supply chain and separately the participants (producers, processors, distributors, retailers and consumers). Advanced technologies support many business activities as proving traceability and transparency, improving internal business processes, simplifying cooperation with partners and establishing the capability to develop supplementary value-added services. The main objective of the current paper is to determine the development potentials of digitalized business processes related to the operation of companies related to the production and processing of agricultural products and food. For this aim, we analysed the differences between food producers and food processors regarding their evaluation of ICT solutions in their partnerships and for certain business activities. Institute of Applied Informatics and Logistics at University of Debrecen has prepared a questionnaire for a survey on the assessment of ICT by food producer and food processor enterprises (n=500). We go into a little bit more depth about the role of information share with the final consumers as they are more and more conscious about their food and may have special information requirements for food products. Thus, we supplemented our research with another questionnaire that was aimed at young food consumers (n=376) to survey their attitude to the main food information and the opportunities to support their choice. For the analyses, we used descriptive statistical methods and Mann-Whitney test. Our results show that both enterprise categories assessed the variables tested as being rather medium importance. Statistically, processors evaluated two variables significantly higher compared to producers these were the ‘Fast evaluation of business performance’ (Sig(2-tailed=0,010) and ‘Operating high-quality website’ (Sig(2-tailed)=0.012). For the respondent consumers, food component list is one of the most important product information. The importance of this variable was the third during the purchase (after price and quality) and second in product comparison (after price). The majority (64%) often or always read this information on the package. Most respondents indicated a willingness to use such mobile applications that may support easy information access.
Informational Shortage as a Component of Media Title’s Attractiveness
Authors: Marynenko Iryna
Published: July 2020

The relevance of the study is stipulated by the main role of the Internet publications titles in solving the issue whether it is necessary for user to read the text of publication. To interest the reader the authors use today the titles with omissions and ambiguity. The objective of the given research is to find out the mostly used language means, which are used by cross media journal-ists in order to create the titles with intrigue component. The following methods of analysis were used during the study: the method of entire selection from cross media texts; the descrip-tive method for defining the way of creating intrigue and finding out the reasons of such phe-nomenon; the methods of analysis and synthesis for systematization and classification of col-lected intrigue components.

As a result of the study 11 quite widely used lexical semantic and grammatical means, which contribute the creation of titles with the elements of intrigue were found. Among the lexical semantic means the following ones can be mentioned: usage of hyponyms instead of genetic terms; usage of words with abstract meaning; semantic perceptional themes; emotional expres-sive attributes and polysemic lexemes. The morphological and syntactical means of creating the intrigue include pronouns and adverbs of general indicating semantics, interrogative and relative pronouns and adverbs, some kinds of one-member sentences, contextually incomplete sentenc-es, absence of adverbial modifier of time and place, which creates the time and space ambiguity, and the particle no before the name of the subject or object of the action. In the conclusion it is summarized that the above mentioned means increase the interest of the reader, encourage him/her to read the whole article, which is the main aim of the journalists’ work.

O DIREITO PENAL DO INIMIGO E A LEGITIMAÇÃO DO DISCURSO DO ÓDIO NAS REDES SOCIAIS
Authors: Faustino André
Published: July 2020

Este artigo analisa a teoria do direito penal do inimigo e a legitimação do discurso do ódio nas redes sociais como uma possibilidade de relação entre a eleição de um inimigo dentro das redes sociais e o seu ataque sem maiores consequências, inclusive com apoio das pessoas dentro daquela mesma rede social. Busca-se compreender os conceitos de discurso do ódio, do surgimento dos haters e como a base principiológica da teoria do direito penal do inimigo dá suporte ao pensamento, dentro do senso comum, da possibilidade de agressão ao inimigo dentro das redes sociais. Para tanto, foi utilizado o método dedutivo e pesquisa bibliográfica, como forma de estabelecer a relação entre uma teoria que fundamenta a existência de um inimigo dentro da sistemática da aplicação do direito penal e a possibilidade de justificação ou legitimação de um discurso de ódio direcionado a um inimigo dentro das redes sociais. O artigo conclui que existe relação entre a teoria do direito penal do inimigo e a legitimação do discurso do ódio dentro das redes sociais, já que a fundamentação da referida teoria é a mesma que justifica a ocorrência de ataques àqueles considerados inimigos na internet.
Thinking (America) After Cavell
Authors: Gamarra Alonso
Published: July 2020

I read Stanley Cavell’s This New Yet Unapproachable America for the first time over a two-day bus ride from Montreal to Chicago. This happened a little bit more than a year ago, in March 2018, when I came back to the US, where I grew up undocumented.The following essay tries to respond to that reading from both a deep attachment to Cavell’s writing and a wish to learn how to think after his picture of American thinking. Alternatively, I can also say that this essay is an attempt at sitting with an irresolvable pull between the unapproachability of things, and the need of confronting the world with itself along the lines in which it meets in a series of topics and a place.

The study uses secondary data with a conceptual approach with a study of social theory and facts in Indonesia. The results of the study show that the role of employers, government and consumer protection institutions still needs to be improved to promote consumer rights and obligations regarding halal products.

Explaining Farmer’s Contract in Legundi, Ngawi Region: Agency Theory and Sharia Perspective
Authors: Satrio Aji Kuncoro Yoga , Rahmawati Farida
Published: July 2020

Contracts are a condition for the emergence of cooperation in economic activity. In the agricultural sector, farmers' cooperation contracts will affect the distribution of income, which in turn will also affect their level of welfare. Cultivation of rice fields in Legundi Village, Karangjati Subdistrict, Ngawi Regency is carried out in the form of a cooperation contract involving the owners of the fields, the cultivators of the fields and farm laborers. This study aims to explore the existence of these contracts using the perspective of institutional economics and Islamic economics. The institutional perspective aims to identify the principal-agent position and analyze contractual problems arising from the employment relationship with agency theory indicators. While the perspective of Islamic economics aims to analyze how the form of the contract conforms with Islamic legal indicators. In this study, data collection procedures were carried out through interviews with respondents involved in all aspects of the rice cultivation cooperation contract. Data analysis begins by identifying the contract then analyzing the contractual issues. The contract identification results show that from an institutional perspective, the principal agent of the contract actors is the owner of a pure rice field or a rice field owner who doubles as a cultivator of a paddy as a principal. Based on sharia perspective this study found two forms of cooperation, namely ijarah which consists of ijarah 'ala al-a'yan and ijarah' ala al-a'mal and mukhabarah. The results of the analysis of the contract problem show that from an institutional perspective there is a moral hazard found in the production sharing contract, conflicting objectives in the lease contract, and adverse selection between the farmer group and Bulog. From the perspective of sharia there is an unclear risk of crop failure, lack of awareness of paying zakat mal, and the emergence of the risk of mutual suspicion in the mukhabarah.
