Authors: Khankevich Y R , Bloshchinsky I A , Vasilyev A S , Kalmanov A S
Published: June 2022

The project has presented the results of testing of correction of a functional status of a group of submariners during autonomous navigation of a submarine, using the method based on the principle of biological feedback (BFB). BFB (biofeedback) is a modern technology of functional status (FS) correction based on presentation to a person of information on his status and changes of his physiological indices for the purpose of training his conscious control of various vegetative functions of the body. This technology allows to develop skills of self-regulation and to increase lability of regulatory mechanisms, what increases human resistance to adverse environmental factors. The results of the research have demonstrated high efficiency of biofeedback trainings for prompt correction of the submariners' functional status changes during their intensive professional activity.

Published: June 2022

In the contemporary world one of the leading causes of death and disability of the population belongs to the stroke. The average frequency of death within the first 30 days after stroke varies from 17 % to 34 %. During the first year about 50 % of patients die. Only 20 % of stroke survivors recover completely, while 80 % of these patients are permanently disabled. Along with the issues of stroke's prevention, treatment and its rehabilitation, it is a relevant aspect to predict the outcome of the patient in the post-stroke condition. It is known that the timely prediction of the cerebral stroke's outcome allows to avoid patient's death and to reduce the neurological deficit in case of correct appointment. Predictive models and scales are the simplest and most accessible instrument for estimating the patient's condition and predicting the outcome after stroke. Despite a considerable quantity of studies in this area the problem of forecasting the stroke's outcome is still relevant. Over the past 10 years the predictive value of some clinical scales has been further investigated, new information about biomarkers has been obtained, whose appearance in the blood correlates with the outcome of stroke, and which could potentially be used in predictive models. The information is not always available for physicians and researchers because of the presence of fragmentation and a language barrier. So the aim of this systematic review was analyzing and combining the available information of the methods predicting the stroke's outcome in the past 10 This review article presents an analysis of methods predicting the outcome in patients after stroke. The study included full-text publications in the English language for the last 10 years, describing the scales or models predicting the post-stroke's outcome in patient. We studied 668 sources in databases MEDLINE, SCOPUS, describing the clinical scales or prediction models that use serum biomarkers as predictors. After screening, 35 articles were selected and included in the analysis.
CONDITION OF ENDOGENOUS ETHANOL / ACETALDEHYDE SYSTEM AND ITS ROLE IN RESISTANCE TO ALCOHOLIZATION IN POPULATIONS OF NORTHERN PEOPLES
Authors: Kolosova O N , Kershengolts B M
Published: June 2022

There have been given results of a study of state of an endogenous ethanol, acetaldehyde system and metabolizing enzymes in the aboriginals of the North-East of Eurasia in different seasons of the year (winter, summer) depending on psychoemotional stress and adaptation state. It has been shown that the reason of decreased endogenous ethanol content in human blood in winter was synthesis of alcohol degidrogenase isoforms with lower affinity to substrata and its lower concentration. Higher content of studied metabolites in human blood in the conditions of the North in comparison with Central Russia, especially during the summer period has been revealed. A decrease in concentration of endogenous ethanol in blood by 4-5 times has been detected in psychophysiological stressing. A phonetic-biochemical model of differentiation of human populations by groups of phenotypes in connection with occurrence of the active genes coding alcohol dehydrogenase (ADG 2) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (AlDG 1) isoforms has been proposed. The fenetiko-biochemical model of differentiation of human populations between groups of phenotypes in connection with occurrence of active genes coding has been proposed. Ethnogenetic features of the populations of the peoples of the North responsible for features of tolerance to alcohol and the tendency of decreasing immunity to alcohol in young generations have been revealed.

Authors: Gordina E M , Gorovitz E S
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate biological properties of S. aureus isolated from a poultry plant staff, birds and bacteria carriers. Almost all the isolates of S. aureus had a number of virulence factors. All strains of S. aureus were characterized by an ability to form biofilms. In spite of the fact that individual values of biofilm biomass of different strains varied widely, there were no significant statistical differences between the mean values of these strains isolated from various sources. The study of antibiotic susceptibility revealed that the cultures isolated from bacteria carriers were sensitive to a wide spectrum of antibacterial agents. At the same time, strains isolated from the birds and a number of strains isolated from the staff were resistant to antibacterial agents used in poultry keeping. Almost all the isolates of bacteria carriers were lysed by typical bacteriophages of the "H" set ("Human"). Most of the isolates from the birds and the third part of the staff-strains were not sensitive to bacteriophages. The cultures isolated from the bacteria carriers belonged to the Ekovar A ("Human"). Some strains isolated from the birds and the poultry farm staff also belonged to this Ekovar, while most of the "bird" S. aureus cultures belonged to the Ekovar B ("Chicken"). Thus at the poultry farm, there was observed an exchange of S. aureus strains among the staff and the birds.

Published: June 2022

Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common chronic systemic autoimmune diseases, that primarily affects the peripheral joints with predominant cartilage damage, bone erosion and ankylosis. Despite significant advances in understanding the pathogenesis of the disease and modern biologic disease-modifying therapy, many questions remain open. Chronic and severe course of rheumatoid arthritis, early disability and social dysaptation, demoralization, as well as the high incidence of psychological problems and disorders require development of a multidisciplinary approach to the etiopathogenesis, diagnostics, management, rehabilitation and preventive care.

Published: June 2022

There has been held an anthropometric study of 322 pupils, the Middle Ob natives, who permanently lived in the rural areas of the Surgut region of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomus Okrug - Ugra. The results were analyzed with use of the standard methods of mathematical statistics and the author’s program “The Identification of parameters of behavior attractors of the biosystems state vector in the m-dimensional phase space”, designed for study of systems with chaotic organization. The complex analysis of the key indices of physical development has revealed a number of differences reflecting the process of formation of opposite-sex somatic types in the initial stage of phylogenesis with formation of new adaptive signs in modern economic and environmental conditions. The age-related correspondence of the main anthropometric parameters with some enlargement of the dimensional characteristics, which was revealed in the examination of pupils, can be considered as a fortunate trend which reduces the risk of functional deviations in healthy children of Ugra.

Authors: Savchenko O V
Published: June 2022

Transportation and accumulation of heavy metals in bodies, even in small doses, threatens health of millions of people, especially children. The aim of our study was to determine heavy metals content in hair, urine and feces of urban preschool children and to study effectiveness of calcium alginate nutritional supplements for correction of trace-element disorders. We determined the levels of cadmium (Cd), and strontium (Sr) in hair, urine and feces of 50 children (aged 5-7 years) using the method of atomic absorption spectrometry. We have found that the medians of substance content in urine were 102.17 and 0.12 pg/l for Sr and Cd respectively. In hair, the medians were 2.30 and 0.16 pg/g for Sr and Cd respectively. Then, we have divided 42 children into two groups: the Control group, and the Alginate group. For correction of trace-element disorders, we provided the children of the Alginate group with calcium alginate nutritional supplements during four weeks (600 mg per day). The results have shown that in their hair at the end of the observation period, the medians were 1.35 and 0.07 pg/g for Sr and Cd respectively. In urine and feces, the levels of heavy metals were not significantly different in the Control group and the Alginate group. Calcium alginate can be recommended for prevention and treatment of heavy metals poisoning.

Authors: Olyashev N V , Varentsova I A , Pushkina V N
Published: June 2022

It has been established that under stress-factor influence, responses of the cardiorespiratory system in the young men with the hyperkinetic type of blood circulation were connected with stimulation of chronotropic spectrum of central hemodynamics. In the young men with the eukinetic type of blood circulation, responses were connected with stimulation of inotropic spectrum of central hemodynamics. All the responses depended on the state of bronchial conductivity of the respiratory system. In the persons with the hypokinetic type of blood circulation, the external breath system was intensively included in compensatory activity. Influence of hemodynamical factors was insignificant in the persons with this type of blood circulation. A large degree of freedom in choice of different variants of responses to influences of stress-factors improves compensatory possibilities of the cardiorespiratory system in the young men with the hypokinetic type of blood circulation.

Nutritive factor is one of the most important elements of human health in the Far North. Today historical lipid-protein nutrition character of the North aborigines is changed to the “European” type. This negatively influences the local population’s health. The aim of the study was to estimate the alimentary status and features of life (alcohol intake, smoking) of the Nenets autonomous area native population and its possible connection with cardiovascular disease risk. We have obtained data on the Nenets’ diet which is still based on proteins. We have estimated lack of fruits and green. Fast-food impacts life of the local population. Among the cardiovascular diseases, such risk factors as smoking (25 %) and alcohol intake (51 %) were presented. This category of population needs development of measures for prevention of cardiovascular and intestine pathology by nutrition correction and educational work on harm of alcohol and smoking.

Operating Surface Haul Trucks (SHT) exposes mineworkers to whole body vibration (WBV), but risk assessment methods are not uniform in the Barents Region. We intended to measure WBV exposure from SHT, and discuss and compare risk assessment outcome by European and Russian methods. 17 WBV measurements were performed at the operator seat interface on 14 SHTs in an open cast mine in Northwest Russia. Measurement periods ranged from 13 to 58 minutes in real work cycles during 8 hours of driving. It was found that mean WBV exposure (A(8) rms) for the 14 SHT’s was (1.0 ± 0.23) m/s 2, mean crest factor - (12.78 ± 5.26) and mean vibration dose value - (10.35 ± 2.61) m/s 1· 75. The study shows that WBV levels defining the lower limit of hazard class 3.2 (Russia) is close to the limit value 1.15 m/s 2 (European countries).

Population health is determined by the compound action of a diversity of medico-social factors. With the application of a risk assessment methodology in this work, influence of food on health of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area’s (YNAA) population was evaluated in 2006-2008 taking into account negative effects of chemical substances contained in the food. The risk level concerning non-carcinogenic effects caused by the exposure to such substances was unacceptably high. The aggregate hazard indices (for critical target organs) calculated on the basis of the median and the 90th percentile were larger than 1. The YNAA population has a high risk of exposure to such pathological non-carcinogenic effects in consumption of vegetables and fruits, berries, juices, bread and bakery foods, sugar and confectionery, meat and meat products. “Target organs (systems)” were blood, the gastrointestinal tract, the immune, hormone- and cardiovascular systems. Basic substances which influenced negatively human health were arsenic, T2-toxin and nitrates. The risk level of cancer development was also characterized as unacceptable for the population. Most of the carcinogens entered the organism with such products as vegetables, fruits, berries and juices, fish and sea foods. The greatest contribution to the aggregate carcinogenic risk was made by arsenic, which was mainly contained in the group “fish and sea foods”.

Published: June 2022

The pulmonary disease reduces all parameters of quality of life. Using a questionnaire of WHO Q0L-100, there has been performed a study of parameters of quality of life in patients with fibro-cavernous and focal forms of pulmonary tuberculosis. Mean values of different areas of quality of life in patients with fibro-cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis were 2-3 times (p ≤ 0,01) lower than those in patients with focal tuberculosis. The patients in both groups suffered morally mostly. It has been revealed that tuberculous patients with a favorable clinical prognosis had a moderate decrease in the level of well-being and satisfaction with conditions of life. The analysis of the values of the exponent falsity according to the questionnaire by V. G. Norakidze (1975) has detected that all respondents answered the proposed questions quite truthfully, as values on the scale of falsity did not exceed 6 points. The results of the study of the parameters of the tuberculous patients’ quality of life can be used for targeted psycho-social rehabilitation with regard to the form of the disease.

Smooth muscle tissue represents a complicated and dynamical ensemble of smooth muscle cells characterized by different structural-methabolical parameters. In the composition of smooth muscle tissue a group of cell elements (cells of Cajal, ICC) is incorporated. Their structural organization and localization in smooth muscle tissue allow to consider them an important component of the system responsible for functional activity regulation. The goal of the study was to get a reliable technology for ICC isolation. The method of the alkaline cell dissociation was used. Isolated smooth cells of different organs were studied. Our findings have shown that the cells we have got by the method of cell dissosiation had clear stable morphological parameters of the interstitial cells of Cajal.

Published: June 2022

During a year (in winter, spring, summer and autumn), a spirographic survey of one and the same group of healthy children (25 boys and 35 girls at intermediate school age born in the European North) was conducted. It has been detected that functionality capabilities of the external respiration system and the breathing level increased in children aged 11-14 y.o. in the transition period from the warm season to the cold season. The increased total lung ventilation in the girls in autumn was mostly explained by the increased respiratory volumes rather than by the respiration rate.
Applying Deep Learning to Examine Tax Footnotes

Published: June 2022

This study applies deep learning algorithms provided and validated by the IBM Watson to examine the relation between qualitative textual characteristics (i.e., sentiment and emotion) detected in tax footnotes and tax outcomes. Extant studies provide evidence that a firm's reported unrecognized tax benefits (UTBs) consist of tax avoidance/complexity and financial reporting incentives. I use the emotion of joy conveyed in tax footnotes to measure the comfortability of a firm's tax position, employing the IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding (NLU) service. I provide evidence and show that, unlike emotion, sentiment (i.e., a positive, negative, or neutral tone) is easier to modify. Specifically, enabling targeted sentiment and emotion features on the service, I find that targeted sentiment, not targeted emotion, associated with and conveyed by the concept of uncertain tax positions explains financial reporting incentives of UTBs. I further find that detected emotion predicts UTBs related settlements with taxing authorities. In related analyses, I also find that these qualitative textual characteristics can explain a firm's demand for auditor provided tax services (APTS). Overall, my findings provide important initial evidence on the role of NLU detected qualitative textual characteristics and their relation to tax outcomes and APTS. Nevertheless, this study may help taxing authorities develop a more concrete audit strategy.
The Influence of Selfies on Variety-Seeking Behavior
Authors:   , Jeong Haeyoung , Wang Chen , Suri Rajneesh
Published: June 2022

In this dissertation research, I examine how the intention to take a self-portrait photo-a selfie-affects consumers' variety seeking in their product choices. Given the proliferation of front-facing digital cameras on smartphones, selfies have become ubiquitous in consumers' daily lives, and many companies have begun incorporating consumer selfies into their marketing practices. Prior research on selfies has identified several psychological motivations and personality traits that can predict the frequency of selfie behavior. However, there has been little research on how selfies affect selfie-takers' consumption behavior. The present research indicates that the intention to take a selfie induces self-image concerns and increases variety seeking in one's product choices. However, this effect diminishes when people intend to take a group (vs. an individual) selfie. I further show that individual differences in self-consciousness moderate the effect of selfie-taking intentions on variety seeking. Lastly, this research suggests that the selfie-taking intention effect holds true regardless of whether the selfie is shared on social media. This research can provide valuable insights into the role of consumers' selfies in their decision making and its downstream marketing implications.
Convening Sustainable Learning

Published: June 2022

Public school buildings throughout the United States are deteriorating because they were primarily constructed over 50 years ago, with few major repairs and improvements since being built (Bingler et al., 2003). In addition to crumbling infrastructure, issues in school buildings such as poor indoor air quality, lack of daylight, bad siting, and poor acoustic conditions negatively affect the wellbeing and performance of the school's primary users; students and teachers (Bingler et al., 2003). Additionally, if schools are not adequately serving these primary users, they cannot function in a way that serves the broader community. School buildings can be more and do more than just serve as brick-and-mortar locations for daily instruction. With proper planning and design, consideration for sustainability, the right organizational structure, and neighborhood involvement, successful, and sustainable community schools can develop (Bingler et al., 2003). The National Education Association defines a community school as: a center of the community that brings together academics, health and social services, youth and community development and community engagement in one built environment, leading to improved learning, stronger families, and healthier communities (National Education Association, 2017). Existing frameworks for community schools focus on guiding communities, school planners, and organizers but should also be useful tools that are understood by architects and designers when designing these spaces. By understanding how community schools function, design teams can partner with neighborhoods and school planning teams best to serve the individual community with a sustainable school design. If architects and designers utilize current sustainable building practices and existing frameworks, they can create school buildings that are healthier and more sustainable for generations of students, teachers, parents and grandparents, local businesses, and other invested community members. The final result of this research will develop a new tool that equips stakeholders on community school projects to have positive impacts on educating students and communities on sustainability to establish even stronger schools, communities, and global citizens.

Agroforestry to Support Trees and Protect Against Air Pollution: A Review
Authors: Adiputra Gede Ketut
Published: June 2022

The high rate of land conversion may jeopardize natural resources vital to Balinese culture, as well as the forest’s ability to maintain a healthy environment. Agroforestry is thought to have a significant environmental benefit in terms of reducing air pollution and respiratory diseases. This research aimed to find a solution to reduce air pollution that is harmful to people’s health. Relevant articles were found by searching through databases such as Google Scholar, Research Gate, Wiley Online Library, and others. According to the findings, respiratory diseases have been increasing and these have been linked to rising air pollution, implying that air pollution facilitates viral infections. Forest cover should be increased to help reduce air pollution caused by fossil fuel combustion from road traffic. It is proposed that increasing the production of tolerant crops in mixed culture with trees can help to maintain tree cover. Agroforestry is becoming an important complement to the native forest in terms of protecting people from air pollution and respiratory disease.

Published: June 2022

Endomycorrhizal fungi are spora-carrying organisms that can survive in heavy metalcontaminated environments. The goal of this study was to investigate endomycorrhizal fungi from heavy metal-affected areas and determine an effective mix of organic culture media to increase the number and diameter of endomycorrhizal spores. In Sorowako, Indonesia, endomycorrhizal fungi were isolated from the rhizosphere of: rice husk charcoal, sand, zeolite (KM1); rice husk charcoal, sand, sawdust (KM2); rice husk charcoal, sand, cocopeat (KM3); rice husk charcoal, sand, rice soil (KM4); rice husk charcoal, sand, cold magma (KM5); rice husk charcoal, sand, cold magma (KM6); and rice husk charcoal, sand (KM7). The results of the first phase of research revealed that three endomycorrhizal genera (44.44%–75.86% Acaulospora sp, 9.52%–44.44% Gigaspora sp, and 3.38%–19.05 % Glomus sp) can adapt to and resist conditions contaminated with Hg, Cd, Ni, Pb, As, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Co, and Sn, namely as a carrier medium. It was concluded that a combination of organic media was recommended, but that this must decompose first.

Authors: Fitriatin Betty Natalie , Fauziah Detty Asna , Hindersah Reginawanti , Simarmata Tualar
Published: June 2022

The acidity of the soil influences the amount of phosphorus available in the soil; acidic soils have low phosphorus availability. The use of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria improves phosphorus availability in acidic soils. The production of dissolved phosphorus and organic acids is one of the functions of the plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) activity of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria. The purpose of this study was to examine how acidity affects the organic acid production and dissolved phosphorus levels of phosphate solubilizing bacteria. Experiments were carried out in the Laboratory of Soil Biology, Department of Soil and Land Resources, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran. Two isolates of PGPR (Burkholderia sp. strain WK 11 and Burkholderia sp. strain MQ-14W) were used in this study, both of which were isolated from an acidic soil-ecosystem. pH 4.5, normal pH (7) and 10.5 were the levels of acidity. The results revealed that the acidity of the water had an effect on the amount of dissolved phosphorus and the amount of organic acid produced by the phosphate solubilizing bacteria. PSB produced more organic acid (lactic, citric, oxalic, and tartaric acid) and dissolved phosphorus at pH 4.5 than at pH 7 or pH 10.5.

The goal of this study was to determine what concentration of soapberry fruit extract to use as an adjunctive ingredient in cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) formulations to obtain the best pest control effect and soybean growth and yield. This study used a randomized complete block design with a single factor: soapberry extract concentration. The research included four treatments: application of CNSL formulations containing 4%, 3%, 2%, and 0% soapberry extract, application of CNSL formulations containing 1 g/liter detergent, synthetic pesticides (Fastac 1-2 liters/ha), and no pesticides as a control. Insecticide applications were effective against grasshopper and pod-sucking bugs in soybean cultivation; the CNSL with 3%, 4% soapberry and the CNSL with detergent had effectiveness comparable to the synthetic insecticides. Soybean growth was unaffected by any of the CNSL formulations or synthetic insecticide applications. However, using a CNSL formulation with 4% soapberry increased soybean yield as much as using a synthetic insecticide; it did not differ significantly from using a CNSL formulation with detergent. The soybean yield was highest in the CNSL formulation with detergent.

The growing demand for organic leeks (Allium fistulosum L.) in the lowlands necessitates the introduction of organic fertilizers and disease-controlling biological agents. Erwinia sp. causes soft rot disease, which results in the loss of 12-40% of the plant’s weight. Because soil-infected pathogens are difficult to control, biological agents that live in the same niche as pathogenic bacteria are used to combat them. This study chose to examine Streptomyces sp. isolate CS1 and Trichoderma viride isolate TTA1 for their potential antagonistic abilities against Erwinia sp. Organic fertilizers and biological agents can be combined in a single-use formulation for maximum efficiency. The study’s primary objective was to see how effective the decomposer microbial consortium’s organic fertilizer formula and biological agents were at promoting leek growth and reducing soft rot disease. The five treatments used in the study were B0 (no pathogen control), B1 (PGPR consortium organic fertilizer = BIOMEG), B2 (BIOMEG + Streptomyces), B3 (BIOMEG + Trichoderma), and B4 (BIOMEG + Streptomyces + Trichoderma). Each experiment was carried out five times. The consortium fertilizer was made in the following manner: the organic matter was fermented for four weeks with a suspension of Bacillus megatrium, Bacillus ap., Pseudomonas sp., and Aspergillus niger, then for two weeks with a suspension of Streptomyces-CS1 and Trichoderma viride-TTA1. The leek seedlings were inoculated with E. caratovora and planted in a 1:4 mixture of consortium fertilizer and soil. The use of biological agents and the PGPR microbial consortium organic fertilizer formula reduced the incidence of soft rot disease in leeks better than the use of the PGPR microbial consortium organic fertilizer formula alone. The organic fertilizer formula of the microbial consortium PGPR + Streptomyces + Trichoderma produced the best results in terms of disease reduction and leek yield.

Biodiversity plays a crucial role in ensuring environmental sustainability. Plantrhizosphere microbiome interactions are ecologically important because they can alter the biological, chemical, and physical properties of the soil, ultimately affecting plant productivity. To maintain soil function, bio-ameliorant technologies, new modern composting crop residues, and limited use of synthetic pesticides have all been used to boost microbial activity in the soil. Soil management biotechnology is the use of microbes to maintain soil function, resulting in increased plant productivity. It offers a novel way to deal with a wide range of issues that are currently unsolved by conventional technology. It is thought that an improved relationship between above and below ground biodiversity can contribute to the re-establishment of essential biological functions. The Indonesian Research Institute for Biotechnology and Bioindustry (IRIBB), PT Riset Perkebunan Nusantara, has been working on developing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a bio-ameliorant to improve the relationship between above and below ground biodiversity for sustainable management and increased plant productivity.

The focus of this research was to determine how plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can affect the soil and physical characteristics of Chinese cabbages, tomatoes, and carrots. A two-factor randomized block design was used. The first factor examined was the time spent soaking the seeds in PGPR solution and the alternatives tested were 0, 10, 20, or 30 minutes. The second factor was the PGPR concentration used when watering the plants in the beds and the alternatives tested were 0, 1.25, 2.5, or 3.75 cc/L. The study found that using PGPR had an effect on soil organic matter and NPK levels, plant height, and yields that differed slightly from the characteristics obtained through conventional practices. The texture and brightness of the Chinese cabbages, tomatoes, and carrots were affected by PGPR treatment. The average texture of the Chinese cabbages, tomatoes, and carrots from the PGPR application was 23.46, 22.82, and 34.14 kg m/sec2, respectively, with brightness levels of 40.19, 34.06, and 39.10. The Chinese cabbages, tomatoes, and carrots from conventional farming practices had textures of 27.12, 23.03, and 31.13 kg m/sec2, respectively, and brightness levels of 58.11, 34.16, and 43.04. The texture and brightness level of the Chinese cabbages, tomatoes, and carrots produced by PGPR application were nearly identical to those produced by conventional farming practices.

Azotobacter is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L) in a greenhouse were studied to examine physiological characterization and efficacy of Azotobacter isolated from the rhizosphere and soil. The goal was to isolate Azotobacter that could be used as a biological fertilizer. There were 21 Azotobacter isolated, with 17 capable of nitrogen-fixing activity, 16 capable of protease activity, six capable of IAA activity, and 13 capable of phosphate dissolution. Each treatment was carried out three times in the experiment, which was completely randomized. At 105 days, the seedlings were harvested. The height of the plants, the number of leaves, the dry weight of the straw and grain, and the number of panicles and seeds were all evaluated. The results showed that rice yields were higher when 1 KZ was isolated from the turi plant (Sesbania grandiflora) and 15 KZ was isolated from the akasia plant (Acasia mangium).

To determine emission levels, information on carbon stocks and changes in each carbon pool is required. Aboveground biomass, particularly on dry land, is one carbon pool that contributes significantly to carbon storage. The goal of this study was to develop a model for estimating aboveground carbon stocks in the Mbeliling landscape, in Nusa Tenggara Timur, using a vegetation index that was correlated with field carbon stocks. The best model was then used to create a map of the distribution of carbon stocks as the final result. Simple linear regression analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used in the study. Google Earth Engine was used to process the images on a cloud system. When comparing the RGI index for measuring field carbon stocks to other indexes, the correlation test revealed a perfect correlation. The linear regression model for aboveground biomass = 14.046 + 272.496 RGI (R-sq = 0.86) was found to be the best model for aboveground biomass. In the multiple linear regression model, there were signs of multicollinearity. With an overall accuracy of 68% and a cappa accuracy of 54.23%, the best model was able to be used to create a carbon stock map in Mbeliling landscape.
