Laissez-Faire Leadership
Authors: Ahsan Muhammad Junaid , Khalid Muhammad Hasham
Published: February 2023

Leaders are expected to create significant impacts on their followers. The present study aims to further investigate this corollary by elaborating on the laissez-faire approach in leadership. Generally, leadership in a laissez-faire style is considered destructive. It is assumed that leaders and followers do not remain effective in laissez-faire styled leadership. Followers expect the presence and close involvement of their leader in different situations. And if they do not find their leader's presence, then it is natural that they might think about their leader as incompetent or reluctant. This may later lead them to lose confidence in their leader. In this study, the authors have used social learning theory to elaborate what could be the effects of a laissez-faire approach in leadership on team members' performance. Research has indicated that negative impacts of the laissez-faire approach in leadership are more likely to affect employees who have relatively deeper concepts about mutual relationships.
Leadership in the Kitchen
Authors: Güngör Ozan , Yilmaz Sinan , Yılmaz Hakan
Published: February 2023

Increased competition has made it an imperative for restaurants to have strong management in the kitchen to ensure competitive success. Being good at preparing food doesn't necessarily mean being a successful manager in the kitchen. A good kitchen manager needs to have a wide range of skills, like math and accounting for calculations associated with menu planning and cost management, managerial skills for organization, leading, and control in the kitchen, along with marketing skills for better understanding and responding to customer demands. There is continuous production in the kitchen management of the staff, and process integration requires the organizational atmosphere to be managed effectively. The performance of the kitchen staff and their workplace motivation is directly related to the leadership style of the kitchen manager. Although accepting that people who are successful at management have innate leadership skills, various research has shown education and training can develop these innate skills or form them if they are not innately possessed.

Integrating Human and Artificial Intelligence Within Organizations
Authors: Sinha Ekta
Published: February 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) and human resources (HR) are often presented as a dichotomy by researchers. Rhetoric at present posits AI as a potential threat to HR. AI is seen as the ability of a machine to perform cognitive tasks, such as perceiving, reasoning, and problem solving, which we often associate with human minds. However, studies have also found that emotions, tacit knowledge, ethics, common sense, and pro-social behavior are fine human virtues that cannot be replaced by any intelligent machine. Thus, this study opines that organizations cannot achieve desired effectiveness by putting AI and people at the extreme ends of a continuum. The literature has many cases of specific human-AI proposals that widely address several organizational needs. The reverse case, to use specific organizational needs as a basis for formulating general human-AI proposal, is less common. This chapter is a nascent attempt to propose a conceptual framework of human capabilities (artistry/soft and scientific/hard) that are used to characterize the required human-AI intervention.

In researching cognitive or motor learning aspects of activity control, motor imagery (MI) is a widely used model. Research has shown that motor imagery training can aid in memorizing motor functions because of the functional associations it shares with physical movement. Because of the high level of contact in these sports, players are more likely to sustain finger injuries. As a group of machine learning techniques, cognitive web services are designed to solve AI-related challenges. Because they are modular, cognitive web services can be easily integrated into any program, making AI more accessible to everyone. Some performers return to play early with defensive splinting, taping, and casting depending on the damage and the position played. Other injuries, predominantly in performers necessitating the full use of their hand for their position, require a more extended rehabilitation period and lengthy time away from the field. Therefore, this paper proposes the motor imagery-based finger rehabilitation system (MIFRS) in sports injury rehabilitation.
Early Warning Model of College Students' Psychological Crises Based on Big Data Mining and SEM
Authors: Liu Rui
Published: January 2023

In recent years, the psychological problems of college students could not be ignored, as they have seriously affected the growth of students and the normal teaching order of colleges and universities. However, there exists a strong noise in college students' psychological sample data set and a strong correlation between its data. Aiming to solve this problem, this paper proposes a psychological crisis warning method for college students based on big data mining and structural equation model (SEM). This method is oriented to massive user data in social networks. Particle swarm optimization is introduced to improve the random forest algorithm, and the original data is labeled to alleviate the impact of data noise on the recognition accuracy. The simulation example comes from an efficient actual data set in the southern China. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve an efficient analysis of actual complex data, and can provide reliable psychological auxiliary diagnosis for practitioners.
The Signaling Mechanism of Fairness Concern in E-CLSC

Published: January 2023

The E-CLSC (E-closed-loop supply chain) game model dominated by manufacturer is set, and information value about asymmetry fairness concern of E-platform (E-commerce platform) is calculated for manufacturer, recycler, and E-platform. By signaling model under various signal costs, the authors study the condition for E-platform to transmit real information about fairness concern so as to reduce profit loss for all parties in E-CLSC. The authors prove that E-platform has the motivation to disguise or exaggerate fairness concerns in order to obtain more profit, and manufacturers must try to identify the E-platform's real fairness concern to avoid profit loss. Besides, only when different types of E-platforms need significantly different signaling cost, both of them would like to send real fairness-concern signal, and thus manufacturer can effectively identify E-platform's real information about fairness concern so as to improve recycling rate and optimize the whole E-CLSC operation.

Published: January 2023

Cohesive Oxisols are widely used for cultivating eucalyptus in the Coastal Tablelands of the northeastern region of Brazil. However, mechanization and plant cultivation in these soils are difficult because of their cohesive layers. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify better combinations between tillage systems and types of fertilization to improve the physical attributes of cohesive soil, with the aim of improving eucalyptus growth. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 4 × 2 factorial scheme (soil preparation × fertilization). The tillage systems tested were: i) conventional tillage (CT) - one plowing combined with two harrowings, ii) minimum tillage (MT) - subsoiling down until 0.57 m depths in the planting line, iii) no-tillage type 1 (NT1) - planting in 0.3 m-deep pits, and iv) no-tillage type 2 (NT2) - planting in 0.6 m-deep pits. The types of fertilization tested were mineral (MF) and organic fertilization (OF). The diameter of the soil aggregates was reduced after being subjected to any combination of cohesive soils. Furthermore, OF provided the best levels of plant-available water, attenuating the adverse conditions of the cohesive layer. MT, NT1, and NT2 improved the soil physical attributes when compared to CT. Therefore, the combination of either NT1 or NT2 with OF, followed by the combination of either NT1 or NT2 with MF, was determined to be the best way to cultivate eucalyptus on cohesive soils.

Attitudes towards suicidal behavior among nursing students
Authors: Albuquerque Roberto Nascimento de , Araújo Elisa Marina Silva , Moreira Tatiana Bernardes
Published: January 2023

The existence of an association between negative attitudes from health professionals, such as prejudice, stigma and discrimination, can lead to difficulties in dealing with a person who has attempted suicide and, consequently, to a decrease in the quality of the care provided. In this context, this article aimed to verify attitudes related to suicidal behavior among nursing students at a private educational institution in the Federal District, Brazil. It was a quantitative, descriptive study that used two questionnaires: a sociodemographic and academic one, and another with questions addressing attitudes towards suicide, called Questionnaire on Attitudes Towards Suicidal Behavior. A total of 253 nursing students participated; in general, the data revealed that they did not have any negative attitude towards suicidal people. The main attitudes that brought some difficulty to students were related to: asking about suicidal behavior and inducing someone to go ahead with it; feeling helpless when faced with a person who thinks about killing themself; lack of professional preparation to deal with patients who have gone through this psychological suffering of attempting self-extermination; and the presence of a conservative and religious attitude towards suicide. Understanding the attitudes of students in the health field, especially nursing students, still in the training period, can bring about a change in the understanding of suicidal behavior, a prejudice-free nursing care, strengthen broad discussions around the topic, openly and without taboos, as well as provide a comprehensive and humanized care.

Published: January 2023

Purpose Childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) are at risk for premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). The aim of this study is to evaluate ovarian function and associated health outcomes in female adolescent and young adult survivors of childhood cancer.Materials and Methods Sixty-nine female CCSs were enrolled. Medical records of CCSs were retrospectively reviewed. The subjects were categorized into three groups according to follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) levels (cutoff, 12, 40 IU/L). Anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) level less than 1 ng/mL was considered low AMH level.Results Of 69 subjects, 14 (20.3%) had POI and 14 (20.3%) had FSH levels between 12 and 40 IU/L. Forty-one of 69 (59.4%) had normal FSH levels. Pelvic irradiation and stem cell transplantation (SCT) were more frequently performed in subjects with POI (p=0.001 and p < 0.001). AMH levels were remarkably low when FSH levels were over 12 IU/L (p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, cyclophosphamide equivalent dose and SCT were significant treatment factors for developing low AMH levels (p=0.005 and p=0.002, respectively). Total, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride were significantly different in three groups according to FSH levels (p=0.047, p=0.030, and p=0.045). Z-score of femur neck bone mineral density was significantly reduced when FSH levels were increased (p=0.011).Conclusion Gonadal dysfunction is common in CCSs. Gonadal function was associated with a few treatment factors known to increase the risk of POI. Regular monitoring of gonadal function is needed for better health outcomes.

if whenever an analytic function
$g:\Omega \rightarrow \overline {{\mathbb D}}$

Дискретизация интегральных норм по значениям в точках и ее приложение
Authors: Dai Feng , Temlyakov Vladimir Nikolaevich
Published: January 2023

Работа посвящена задаче дискретизации по значениям в точках интегральных норм функций из заданных конечномерных подпространств, удовлетворяющих некоторым условиям. Доказаны утверждения о дискретизации при двух стандартных предположениях: условиях на энтропийные числа и условиях, сформулированных в терминах неравенств типа Никольского. Получены оценки сверху числа точек, достаточного для хорошей дискретизации, и показано, что эти оценки точны в определенном смысле. Затем полученные общие условные результаты применены к подпространствам со специальной структурой, а именно к подпространствам со структурой тензорного произведения. Показано, что применение утверждений, основанных на неравенствах типа Никольского, дает несколько лучшие результаты, чем применение утверждений, основанных на условиях на энтропийные числа. Кроме того, результаты о дискретизации применены к задаче восстановления по значениям в точках.
О явлении Титчмарша в теории дзета-функции Римана
Authors: Konyagin Sergei Vladimirovich , Korolev Maxim Aleksandrovich
Published: January 2023

Доказано, что максимум модуля дзета-функции Римана $\zeta (s)$ при изменении $s = 0.5+it$ на очень коротких отрезках критической прямой неограниченно возрастает, причем для скорости роста получена явная нижняя оценка. Этот основной результат работы является улучшением результата второго автора (2014), согласно которому данный максимум с ростом $t$ превосходит любую сколь угодно большую фиксированную постоянную. Метод доказательства применяется также и к задачам о больших значениях аргумента дзета-функции и о нерегулярностях в распределении ординат нулей $\zeta (s)$ на очень коротких отрезках критической прямой. Все эти утверждения доказаны в предположении справедливости гипотезы Римана. Основу примененного метода составляет "эффективная" лемма о совместных приближениях логарифмов простых чисел.
Неравенство для композиций выпуклых функций со свертками и альтернативное доказательство неравенства Брунна-Минковского-Кемпермана
Authors: Satomi Takashi
Published: January 2023

Пусть $m(G)$ - точная нижняя грань объемов всех открытых подгрупп унимодулярной локально компактной группы $G$. Предположим, что интегрируемые функции $\phi _1,\phi _2: G\to [0,1]$ удовлетворяют условиям $\|\phi _1\|\leq \|\phi _2\|$ и $\|\phi _1\| + \|\phi _2\| \leq m(G)$, где $\|\kern 1pt{\cdot }\kern 1pt\|$ - норма пространства $L^1$ относительно меры Хаара $dg$ на $G$. В работе для любой выпуклой функции $f: [0,\|\phi _1\|]\to \mathbb R $ такой, что $f(0) = 0$, доказано неравенство $\int _{G} f \circ (\phi _1 * \phi _2)(g) dg \leq 2 \int _{0}^{\|\phi _1\|} f(y) dy + (\|\phi _2\| - \|\phi _1\|) f(\|\phi _1\|)$. Как следствие выводится несколько усиленная версия неравенства Брунна-Минковского-Кемпермана, а именно $\mathrm {vol}_*(B_1 B_2) \geq \mathrm {vol}(\{g\in G \mid 1_{B_1} * 1_{B_2}(g) > 0\}) \geq \mathrm {vol}(B_1) + \mathrm {vol}(B_2)$ для любых измеримых множеств $B_1,B_2 \subset G$ положительного объема таких, что $\mathrm {vol}(B_1) + \mathrm {vol}(B_2) \leq m(G)$, где $\mathrm {vol}_*$ - внутренняя мера, а $1_B$ - характеристическая функция множества $B$.

Рассмотрены вопросы безусловной сходимости рядов Фурье функций класса $\operatorname {Lip}1$ относительно общих ортонормированных систем (ОНС). Найдены достаточные условия, которым должны удовлетворять функции ОНС, чтобы ряд Фурье по этой системе каждой функции из класса $\operatorname {Lip}1$ безусловно сходился. Доказана неулучшаемость некоторых полученных результатов. Также доказано, что из любой ОНС $(\varphi _n)$ можно выделить подпоследовательность $(\varphi _{n_k})$, относительно которой ряд Фурье каждой функции из $\operatorname {Lip}1$ безусловно сходится.

При $d\in [0,n)$ для куба $\overline {Q}\subset \mathbb R^n$ c длиной ребра $l=l(\overline {Q})\in (0,1]$ показано, что если для $d$-обхвата по Хаусдорфу $\mathcal H^d_{\infty }(\overline {Q}\cap S)$ множества $\overline {Q}\cap S$ верно неравенство $\mathcal H^d_{\infty }(\overline {Q}\cap S)<\overline {\lambda }l^{d}$ при некотором $\overline {\lambda }\in (0,1)$, то множество $\overline {Q}\setminus S$ содержит специфическую полость. Более точно, доказано существование псевдометрики $\rho =\rho _{S,d}$ такой, что для любого достаточно малого $\delta >0$ окрестность $U^\rho _\delta (S)$ множества $S$ в псевдометрике $\rho $ не покрывает $\overline {Q}$. Более того, установлено существование констант $\overline {\delta }=\overline {\delta }(n,d,\overline {\lambda })>0$ и $\underline {\gamma }=\underline {\gamma }(n,d,\overline {\lambda })>0$ таких, что $\mathcal L^n(\overline {Q}\setminus U^{\rho }_{\delta l}(S)) \geq \underline {\gamma } l^n$ при всех $\delta \in (0,\overline {\delta })$, где $\mathcal L^n$ - мера Лебега. При условии, что множество $S$ дополнительно удовлетворяет условию $d$-регулярности обхвата снизу, доказано существование константы $\underline {\tau }=\underline {\tau }(n,d,\overline {\lambda })>0$ такой, что куб $\overline {Q}$ является $\underline {\tau }$-пористым. Точность результатов иллюстрируется несколькими примерами.

Effect of Financial Distress, Liquidity, and Leverage on the Audit Opinion Going Concern on Companies Listed on IDXESGL During the Pandemic Period (2019-2021)
Authors: Suryani Irma , Yuniarti Rita , Syahrudin Muhammad
Published: February 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many companies to have significant losses that affect their going concern and opinions from auditors about it, such as the case of KAP Satrio Bing, Eny (SBE) and partners, affiliated Deloitte Indonesia for not providing a audit opinion going concern on SNP's finances, where the condition of the company`s increase debt and repayment failure, so due to financial difficulties they committed fraud by manipulating financial statements. This study aims to examine the effect of financial distress, liquidity, leverage on audit opinion going concern partially on companies listed on IDXESGL during the pandemic (2019-2021). The method used is explanatory with a population of 30 companies listed on the IDX during the period 2019 to 2021 with a sample of 29 companies. The analytical technique used is logistic regression with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that liquidity had an effect on audit opinion going concern, while financial distress and leverage had no effect on audit opinion going concern. This audit opinion going concern can be avoided by managing current assets effectively so that they are able to meet their current liabilities. The results of this study are expected to provide contributions and considerations for auditors in issuing audit opinions going concern and for companies to determine indicators that affect their going concern.

Thinking about the place: possibilities from photographs in Geography textbooks
Abstract
This article aims to analyze the potential of photographic images present in geography textbooks for the early years of the elementary school to work on the concept of place, considering that, among others, this is one of the core concepts in school geographic education, especially in this first stage. For this purpose, four sets of photographs we analyzed photographs present in geography textbooks of the 1st and 2nd year of the Apis collection, approved in the National Book and Didactic Material Program (PNLD) of 2019 and which is used in municipal schools of Dourados-MS identifying limits and possibilities to work with this concept from them. Photographs that appeared in units and chapters whose objective were to work on the concept of place were selected. From this, we observe that the photographs appear as a way of illustrating the theme, confirming the written text and exemplifying what is being addressed about place, and that understanding of the place from them can be limited to its physical character, as a point to be located on the space and on the map. Therefore, it was identified the need to problematize these photographs present in the school context in order to promote discussions about the place, understanding them as creators of geographical thoughts and imaginations.

In fact, seen from the scattered data, there is a tendency for students to choose a plan after completing their studies, namely continuing to the next level of study and choosing to do business or start a business. In addition, the trend of the results of the questionnaires that were distributed shows that so far the number of physics education students has preferred the type of agency for career planning, namely in the public sector. As well as the tendency for students to really have their career plans after graduating from a bachelor's degree in education, namely in the field of teaching and the lowest is in the field of tutors.

Introduction: This is a prospective, observational study. The aims of the study were to determine the rate of bacteraemia in febrile children in Turkey, and to evaluate the usefulness of white blood cell (WBC) count and manual differential counts of peripheral blood smears and a RISK score in predicting bacteraemia among these children.

Materials and Methods: A total of 377 febrile children aged 3 to 36 months were included in the study. Complete blood cell (CBC) count, manual differential counts and blood cultures were performed in all patients. The main outcome measures used to evaluate the usefulness of the RISK score were sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), odds ratio (OR), posterior probability, areas under receiver operator characteristic curves (AUC) and miss-to-diagnosis ratio (MDR).
Results: Among the patients, 4.4% had bacteraemia and the predominant pathogen was Streptococcus pneumoniae. The Yale Observation Scale scores, percentages of neutrophil and bands, band-neutrophil ratio, absolute neutrophil count and absolute band count were found to be statistically significant predictors of bacteraemia. When the RISK score was 2 or higher, sensitivity was 93.8%, false positive ratio 35.8%, PPV 10.6%, NPV 99.5%, OR 26.2 (95% CI, 3.4 to 200.8), MDR 0.066 and posterior probability value 10%.
Conclusions: We conclude that determination of the RISK score will significantly decrease unnecessary blood culture sampling, antibiotherapy and hospitalisation among febrile patients aged 3 to 36 months without an identifiable focus of infection.

Introduction: Increasing demand for public healthcare and access to specialist care has become a major concern. Characterising the referral pattern to a national centre’s cardiology specialist outpatient clinics (SOCs) and the diagnostic outcomes may be useful in formulating referral guidelines to contain rising demand.

Materials and Methods: A prospective observational follow-up study was conducted of all consecutive new patient referrals to the cardiology SOCs of the National Heart Centre over a 1-month period. The records of these 1224 patients were reviewed following their first visit and again after 3 months of evaluation and investigation. Patients’ demographics, referral sources, indications of referral, risk factors, provisional and final diagnoses were collected. Referrals from the top 2 volume sources (government polyclinics and hospital Emergency Department) accounted for 600 referrals. These subsidised referrals formed the study group for analysis.

Results: The mean age of referred patients was 56 ± 15.2 years, with equal proportion of males and females. Most patients had known cardiac risk factors of hypertension (53.2%) and hyperlipidaemia (42.3%). Only 23% of referrals had significant cardiac abnormalities. Referrals for typical chest pain derived the highest yield whereas referrals for atypical chest pain, non-cardiac chest pain derived the lowest yield. Referrals for asymptomatic electrocardiogram (ECG) changes (except for atrial flutter/fibrillation) did not yield cardiac abnormalities. Multivariate analysis of chest pain referrals showed typical chest pain and hyperlipidaemia to be statistically significant predictors for coronary artery disease.

Conclusion: Referrals to cardiology outpatient specialist clinics should be based on the presence of patient symptoms, particularly that of typical chest pain. In asymptomatic patients, routine ECG screening did not appear to yield significant cardiac abnormalities.

Bridging the Gap between Occupational Medicine and Family Medicine
Authors: Sng Judy , Lee See Muah , Koh David
Published: February 2023

Family medicine and occupational medicine share close similarities in their focus on disease prevention and health promotion. The opportunities for mutual learning and collaboration in patient care abound, with far-reaching implications on the standard of patient care that can be offered. Unfortunately, a gap exists between family medicine and occupational medicine in day-to-day practice as well as in continuing medical education. It is important that we actively seek to bridge this gap. The workforce constitutes a significant part of the population and thus the patient load of a typical primary healthcare practice. Moreover, with an ageing population and rising retirement age, we can expect that there will be an increasing number of health issues to be addressed among older working people. Both occupational and non-occupational factors are important in determining an individual’s health. Thus, family physicians need to adequately understand occupational medicine and vice versa.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Understanding public perceptions of healthcare delivery is important to guide policy formulation and practice as well as to identify areas where public health communication needs to be strengthened to overcome misconceptions and allay unfounded concerns. We conducted a survey of Singapore residents to determine perceptions of the affordability and quality of healthcare in Singapore. Materials and Methods: A sampling frame was drawn from the 2005/2006 edition of the telephone directory. One thousand seven hundred and eighty-three respondents were interviewed via telephone and asked to rank their agreement with statements pertaining to healthcare cost and quality on a 5-point Likert scale. Results: Respondents were representative of the general population in ethnicity and housing type but lower income households were over-represented. 79.6% of respondents agreed that Singapore had a good healthcare system and 57.5% agreed that the government provided good and affordable healthcare to Singaporeans. The majority agreed that healthcare was generally affordable, especially at polyclinics (78%) and restructured hospitals (50%) and that the quality of healthcare in Singapore was high. Comparing primary and tertiary care, there was uniformity in the perception of quality at both levels but respondents assessed tertiary healthcare to be less affordable (P <0.0001). Conclusion: Singaporeans are confident in the healthcare system. The quality of Singapore healthcare is generally regarded to be high although there are growing concerns regarding the affordability of healthcare.

The Role of Performance to Continue the Business for Nascent Entrepreneurs: The Effect of Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy
Authors: Sanaji Sanaji
Published: January 2023

High mortality rates and low entrepreneur ratios are problems in developing sustainable small businesses. Previous research has shown that entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) is an important factor for increasing entrepreneurial intentions, but how ESE explains the continuity of business for nascent entrepreneurs is less researched. This study aims to investigate the role of business performance in explaining the relationship of ESE and career switching for nascent entrepreneur. Data were collected from nascent entrepreneur using questionnaires and analyzed by Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results of this study shown that ESE positively influence business performance. ESE and business performance negatively influence career switching intention for nascent entrepreneur. In summary, ESE can reinforce nascent entrepreneurs to continue and survive their business. Some theoreticals on entrepreneurship and practicals implication on entrepreneurship development are suggested in the rest of this paper.

The leadership style of an individual is influenced by his personality, ability, and skills. Two leadership styles were focused in this study which are transformational and servant leaderships. The level of leaderships of the administrators of the School of Engineering and Architecture (SEA) at Holy Angel University (HAU) for the First Semester School Year 2022-2023 were assessed using self-assessment transformational and servant leadership questionnaires. The assessment resulted that administrative ability is the dominant transformational leader characteristic of the respondents while being creative was the lowest transformational leader characteristic, but still within the high range of the score interpretation. Demonstrating ethical behaviour is the dominant servant leader characteristic but creating value for the community got the lowest characteristic, but still within the moderate range of the score interpretation. The HAU-SEA administrators generally demonstrated the characteristics of a transformational leader and mostly exhibited the behaviours of a servant leader, specifically the exemplary demonstration of ethical behaviours.

Farm mechanization is the main indicator of modernizing the agriculture and use of farm machines that can take the place of human and animal power in agricultural processes. During field operation the weight of farm machinery compact the agricultural soil due to the contact with the tires or tracks of tractors. The aim of the article is to study the effects of soil texture and moisture content on soil compaction. During field experimental test 5 different depth (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 cm) were selected for taking soil compaction data and soil samples at three depth range (0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm) from Kulumsa Agricultural research center farm land at two seasons. During compaction test 15 sample point data were taken from 0.6 ha farm land. The result of the study shows from average of all sample point the maximum and minimum value of soil compaction value where 3.73 Mpa and 3.032 Mpa during harvesting season and 1.37 Mpa and 1.19 Mpa during seeding season respectively. The laboratory result shows farm land soil is clay with 25.0% of sand, 51% of clay and 24 % silt during both experimental seasons. The maximum and minimum percentage of soil moisture value where 28.92% and 20.04% during harvesting season and 41.8% and 30.8% at 20 to 30 cm and 0 to 10 cm depth respectively.
