Strategic partnerships between universities and intelligent communities are essential for addressing rapid, profound societal changes. Communities benefit from access to educated human capital, research, and global connections, while universities gain relevance through community integration and real-world applications. Such alliances must move beyond superficial collaborations, requiring visionary leadership and shared goals. Universities can drive innovation, foster trust, and facilitate international connections, but the under-utilization of their potential persists.
By redefining roles, embracing agility, and leveraging technology, universities and communities can build strategic partnerships and jointly achieve sustainable development and resilience, outperforming those who neglect these critical partnerships.

Demographic changes with an ageing population and declining birth rates, alongside economic challenges, have implications for the public service labour market. A growing challenge for public institutions is that the public sector is no longer the employer of choice. The public sector is already facing challenges in recruitment, filling vacancies with competent and talented personnel, and retaining public servants. The UK civil service is also wrestling with how to train and maintain skills within the mid-range officials and one way it has addressed this is to partner with King’s College London and other UK universities to co-develop and co-deliver customised courses. The paradigm shifts in the state from public administration to new public management and new public governance in part underlies this declining interest in public service with the introduction of neo-liberal public sector reforms over the decades, downsizing of the state, relatively lower pay, and various austerity measures. The article revisits these paradigm shifts of the state, providing a review and discussing the impact of these shifts. Furthermore, the article argues for a new paradigm shift. A New Public Service Bargain, which recognizes and values public service because it is the human resource capacity of the state that is key to addressing crises, wicked policy problems and turbulent times.

Published: December 2024

Genetic variability was a prerequisite to doing a plant breeding program. A broad genetic variability allows plant breeders to select a desired genotype. This research aims to assess the maize hybrid's genetic variability based on qualitative and quantitative traits. This research was conducted in the Bone district, south Sulawesi, from November 2022 to March 2023. Fifteen maize hybrids were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The variables observed are qualitative and quantitative traits. Principal component (PCA) and cluster analyses assessed the genetic variability. The result indicated that based on a loading factor greater than 0.70, the qualitative traits such as intensity of green color, anthocyanin coloration of brace roots, length of lateral branch, intensity anthocyanin coloration of silk, and degree of zigzag displayed high variability. quantitative like days to anthesis, days to silk, leaf length, 1000 seeds weight, yield, ear diameter, number of row seeds per ear, ear height, ear length, and number of seeds per row also exhibit high variability. Cluster analysis shows a broad genetic variability on qualitative and quantitative traits demonstrated by Euclidean levels 6.68-10.93 and 3.43-5.08, respectively, and generated the dendrogram that divides genotypes into four main clusters for qualitative and five for quantitative traits.

Published: December 2024

The commercial development of Cavendish bananas still faces many obstacles, including the availability of seedlings/suckers at low prices, so technological substitution is needed to stimulate the growth of Cavendish banana suckers in the form of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) biological agents. The research aims to determine the correlation between AM doses and colonization levels, tissue nutrient concentrations, and photosynthetic pigments in Cavendish banana seedlings/suckers. It is also a novelty in this research study. The research was carried out in Parepare city at coordinates 3°59'30.204" S; 119°38'42.936" E using four AM doses as independent variables, namely 0 g, 5 g, 10 g, and 15 g pot-1.  The variables observed (dependent variables) were the level of colonization, nutrient concentration in the tissue, and photosynthetic pigment content. Using Microsoft Excel software, statistical tests, regression, and correlation analyses were conducted to see the relationship between treatment (independent variable) and observed parameters (dependent variable). The research showed that AM dosage was positively correlated with the level of root colonization, the concentration of N, P, and K elements in the tissue, and the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids). A dose AM of 15 g pot-1 gave a better effect on Cavendish banana suckers, which can be recommended for the development of Cavendish banana seedlings.

Published: December 2024

Organic farming practices have shown a potential to improve rice yields, aside from the popular conventional ones. This study aimed to comparatively analyze the morpho-physiological characteristics of rice plants grown under organic and inorganic farming. This research was conducted at the Polinela Organic Farm experimental station (5°21'10"S 105°13'43"E, 114 m sea above level), from February to April 2023 using a completely randomized design. The results showed that rice grown organically exhibited a notably higher chlorophyll index and actual water use efficiency compared to those grown inorganically. Conversely, inorganic farming resulted in a greater number of tillers than organic farming. However, there were no significant differences between the two systems regarding CO2 efficiency and plant height. An interesting fact is the improved water use efficiency by organic farming helps rice plants to achieve similar growth performance while requiring less water.

Published: December 2024

Potato growth is influenced by seed provenance and fertilization, but the availability of high-quality potato seeds is still limited. To overcome those challenges, solutions include using temperature-tolerant potato varieties from medium plains and applying organic fertilizers to improve potato growth and yield. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of the interaction between seed provenance and application of organic fertilizers on the growth and yield of G2 potato seeds of the Medians cultivar in the Jatinangor medium plains. The research was conducted from June to October 2023 at the Ciparanje Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor. The research design used was a Factorial Randomized Group Design (RBD). The first factor is the provenance of the potato seeds from the medium and high plains. The second factor is the type of organic fertilizer, namely chicken manure, cow manure, and guano fertilizer. The results showed that there was no interaction between the seed provenance and types of organic fertilizer on the growth and yield of G2 potato seeds of the Medians cultivar in Jatinangor medium plains. The use of seeds from medium plains had a significant effect on plant height, plant dry weight, and the percentage of stolons forming tubers. The application of cow manures with a dose of 225 g gave the best effect on leaf area, the number of tubers, and the weight of tubers per plant.

Soil fertility is recognized as a crucial factor in supporting plant growth and productivity. The utilization of biofertilizers as environmentally friendly fertilizers is aimed at enhancing soil fertility and plant productivity. This study aims to explore the potential of local material for developing local wisdom biofertilizers (LWB) for achieving sustainable agriculture. A systematic literature review was conducted using bibliometric analysis, Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews, and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method, employing the Scopus search engine with the keywords "local AND wisdom AND biofertilizer" OR "biofertilizer" OR "local AND microorganism" OR "soil AND health OR crop AND productivity OR sustainable agriculture". The search yielded 704 articles, of which 11 were deemed eligible after selection. Based on the literature review, it was found that there are local materials, including fish waste, seaweed, Azolla, fruit waste, Moringa oleifera, microalga, bamboo roots, banana hump, golden snail, mangrove leaves, fruit, and vegetable waste that can be used as raw materials for LWB to improve soil health, plant growth, and productivity. The development of LWB as a new fertilizer technology faces challenges such as lack of regulations, low public trust, limited farmer awareness, weak promotion, and raw material shortages. Further research is needed to intensively study and enhance the effectiveness of LWB through enrichment using beneficial microorganisms.

Published: December 2024

Pak choy is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamin K, all essential for health. Pak choy requires a proper balance of nutrients for optimal growth. In a hydroponic system, any imbalance in nutrient levels can negatively impact plant growth and reduce the nutritional value stored in the tissues.  Selecting suitable varieties and providing appropriate calcium treatment can help increase calcium content and enhance productivity. This study aims to determine the effect of calcium concentration on growth, yield, and Ca content and the most responsive varieties to increased calcium concentration. The research design used was a Split Plot Design with two factors, namely calcium nitrate concentration (k) as the main plot consisting of k0 = without addition of Ca(NO3)2, k1 = addition of 300 mg/L Ca(NO3)2, k2 = addition of 600 mg/L Ca(NO3)2, k3 = addition of 900 mg/L Ca(NO3)2, and k4 = addition of 1200 mg/L Ca(NO3)2. Varieties (v) as subplots consist of v1 = Masbro, v2 = Nauli F1, and v3 = Flamingo. The results showed that the Nauli F1 variety had the best effect on the number of leaves, growth rate index, and fresh weight of shoots. Adding 900 mg/L of calcium nitrate had the best impact on plant growth, while adding 1200 mg/L of calcium nitrate caused plant poisoning. The Masbro variety was responsive to Ca biofortification.

Elevated sand and gravel mining to meet market needs causes negative impacts on the environment, soil, and biodiversity. The government issued a regulation that requires revegetation as reclamation of mineral and coal mining. The conversion needs to overcome the physical and chemical characteristics of post-rock excavation soil that can be utilized by economic value plants such as bok choy. This experiment aimed to determine the growth and yield of bok choy on post-rock excavation soil by providing phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and various manure types. The study was conducted in Margasari Village, Buah Batu District, Bandung at an altitude of 671 m above sea level and at the Soil Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Science and Technology, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung from April to June 2023. The experimental design used was a factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two factors and repeated three times. The first factor was PSB isolate dose (without PSB; 5 mL polybag-1; 10 mL polybag-1; 15 mL polybag-1, and 20 mL polybag-1). The second factor was manure variety (cow, goat, and laying hen manure, each of 15 t ha-1). The parameters observed comprised the soil and plant parameters. The results showed that there was no interaction between the dose of PSB isolate and various types of manure on the growth and yield of bok choy plants. The PSB isolate and manure had not been able yet to increase the growth and yield of Bok Choy (Brassica rapa L.) plants on post-rock excavation soil, mainly due to the soil nature.

Published: December 2024

Gibberellins are key plant hormones, and their application in citrus plants is frequently reported. This review aims to provide an overview of the application of gibberellic acid (GA3) in citrus cultivation, emphasizing their effects on growth, flowering, fruit quality, and ripening. Citrus fruits often face challenges like irregular fruit set, size inconsistency, and environmental stress, impacting yield and profitability, with exogenous gibberellin application as a potential solution. Applying gibberellins can accelerate citrus seed germination and seedling growth, enhance vegetative growth, inhibit flowering, delay fruit ripening, and improve fruit quality. However, the efficacy of gibberellins varies across species and conditions, highlighting the need for reference studies. This work presents an alternative option for optimizing gibberellin use to support sustainable citrus production practices.
An overview of gibberellin inhibitors for regulating vegetable growth and development
Authors: Setiawan Erik , Budiarto Rahmat , Hamdani Jajang Sauman , Ghorbanpour Mansour
Published: December 2024

Gibberellin (GAs) promotes plant growth processes like germination, shoot elongation, root development, and flowering, while its inhibition is occasionally used in some vegetable crop practices. This paper aims to review the current literature on GAs inhibitors in practical vegetable crops and suggest future strategies for increasing yield. In some vegetable crops, inhibiting GAs with natural (abscisic acid, ethylene) or synthetic (paclobutrazol, prohexadione-Ca) regulators is key to improving yield and quality. Abscisic acid (ABA) counteracts GAs in germination and stress adaptation, while ethylene (ET) opposes GAs in senescence and growth inhibition. The application of paclobutrazol (PBZ) and prohexadione-Ca (Pro-Ca) is known to inhibit synthetic GAs, resulting in denser plants while improving plant photosynthetic efficiency, which improves crop yield. Achieving desired growth and yields with GAs inhibitors relies on precise dosing, emphasizing the importance of review studies for advancing vegetable cultivation.

Hasil penelitian, yaitu meskipun posisi cerita Dewi Sekardadu marjinal dalam narasi besar Jawa tetapi hampir semua babad atau kronik Jawa menyinggung Dewi Sekardadu dengan alur yang jelas. Namun, pada empat makam Dewi Sekardadu di Jawa Timur, terdapat cerita Dewi Sekardadu dalam tradisi lisan yang memiliki versi berbeda. Terdapat perubahan dan modifikasi cerita di empat makam Dewi Sekardadu yang berkecenderungan kuat sebagai proyek identitas dengan menasbihkan cerita Dewi Sekardadu sebagai tokoh daerah tempatan dan terjadi pasca-Reformasi 1998. Realitas tersebut merupakan tarik ulur antara proyek identitas dan komodifikasi cerita-cerita Dewi Sekardadu untuk kepentingan wisata religi. Komodifikasi cerita-cerita Dewi Sekardadu dalam kerangka wisata religi yang merupakan tarik ulur antara agama dan industri pariwisata –yang menekankan pada aspek-aspek ‘hiburan’ agamis dan pasar yang dalam kadar tertentu terkesan mengesampingkan aspek auratik, warisan pengetahuan, dan kesejarahan. Abstract: This article examines the identity project and commodification of Dewi Sekardadu's stories in the four tombs. The concepts used are identity projects and commodification within the framework of the religious tourism industry. The research methods are ethnography, in-depth interviews and literature study. The results of the research are that, although the position of Dewi Sekardadu's story is marginal in the great Javanese narrative, almost all Javanese chronicles or chronicles mention Dewi Sekardadu with a clear plot. However, in the four graves of Dewi Sekardadu in East Java, there are stories of Dewi Sekardadu in oral tradition which have different versions. There are changes and modifications to the stories at the four tombs of Dewi Sekardadu which have a strong tendency to act as identity projects by establishing Dewi Sekardadu's stories as local regional figures and occurred after the 1998 Reformation. This reality is a tug-of-war between the identity project and the commodification of Dewi Sekardadu's stories for tourism purposes religion. With the commodification of Dewi Sekardadu's stories within the framework of religious tourism, which is a tug-of-war between religion and the tourism industry --which emphasizes aspects of religious and market 'entertainment' which to a certain extent seems to ignore the auratic, heritage of knowledge and historical aspects.

The series of community service activities began with a socialization to the PPK Ormawa, a seminar on the importance of preserving the arts, training and mentoring for the art group, and a performance of the training results. Srihardono Village has great potential to develop the arts, but it initially faced issues such as a lack of innovation in the development of art and culture used to elevate the regional cultural image as well as the absence of professional instructors with the necessary expertise to provide training. The primary skill developed in this program is acting, using theatrical learning methods started with a script reading process. It was then  followed by techniques for performance, training development techniques, and improvisation techniques. The authors carried out all the sequences of activity to equip the Srandul art group with the necessary skills. The result shows that after participating in this program, the supporters of Srandul art have become more active in rehearsals and the members of the art group can perform Srandul much better since they have mastered the techniques of playing Srandul art.
Minimizing diagnostic error in paediatric critical care: a checklist approach
Authors: Jamil Syed , Rajendram Rajkumar
Published: December 2024

Caring for critically ill children presents unique challenges due to their rapid deterioration and the need for immediate, complex interventions. The assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of deteriorating paediatric patients require a comprehensive and holistic, systematic approach. However, the dynamic nature of critical illness and the need for stabilization can often lead to missed opportunities for assessment and intervention. To improve the quality and timeliness of care for critically ill children, we developed standardized checklist proformas to guide focused and efficient assessments. These proformas, originally adapted from adult intensive care settings, have been refined over two decades through extensive clinical experience and collaboration with experts worldwide. The proformas provide a framework for diagnostic reasoning and ensure through predictive modelling so that essential components of the assessment are not overlooked. By using these tools, healthcare professionals can effectively identify and address the needs of critically ill children, improving patient outcomes and enhancing the efficiency of care.
Shoot organogenesis and plant regeneration of Achyranthes japonica
Authors: Yoo Ji Hyun
Published: December 2024

This study focused on the in vitro plant regeneration and micropropagation of Achyranthes japonica Nakai by employing various cytokinins and auxins to determine their effects on shoot and root elongation. Seed sterilization was conducted utilizing a 70% solution of ethanol and subsequent sodium hypochlorite treatment. Seeds were germinated on Murashige and Skoog medium. Shoot regeneration was assessed by placing stem nodes, which were excised from the in vitro plants, on the supplemented medium. The effects of various cytokinin concentrations, BAP, kinetin, TDZ, and zeatin were analyzed. According to the results, TDZ at 2.0 mg/L demonstrated the highest number of effects of regeneration of shoots with minimal growth of 3.6±0.4 mm. At the same time, supplementation of kinetin without auxins leads to longer shoot length (17.2±2.1 mm). The addition of auxins such as IAA and IBA along with kinetin showed that the shoot length was increased than that of the control. The effects of AgNO3 and putrescine on shoot regeneration were also analyzed. It was stated that AgNO3 at 10 mg/L provided the most suitable shoot induction (3.8±0.49 shoots/explant). In addition, it is shown that among the various auxin concentrations, 0.1 mg/L IBA is the most suitable concentration for root regeneration (11.4±2.5 roots/shoot). The results imply that hormonal concentrations have significant effects on plant regeneration. Overall, these results identify the potential need for further research concerning the micro propagational techniques of A. japinca and similar plants.

Domestic violence (DV) is now widely recognized as a severe public health problem owing to its health consequences. India has high prevalence rates of physical, sexual, and emotional violence against spouses (28%, 14%, and 6%, respectively). The study uses data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) to analyze the spatial distribution of different forms of DV in Northeast India. Bivariate analysis, ordinary least squares (OLS), and geographically weighted regression (GWR) were employed for data analysis. Domestic violence in Northeast India stands at 31.3%, with Manipur at 41.5%, followed by Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. Hailakandi in Assam (64.7%) and Bishnupur in Manipur (59.9%) have the highest rates. The local R2 values for domestic violence were notably higher in the southern and eastern regions of the northeast States. Specifically, in the southeastern districts of Nagaland, these values ranged between 0.65 and 0.70. Regional disparities were evident in the prevalence of physical, emotional, and sexual violence, with Manipur, Assam, and specific districts in Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland frequently highlighted as hotspots. The results highlight the necessity of region-specific strategies and focused interventions to effectively address and prevent DV throughout the Northeast. Prioritizing the mitigation of significant risk factors for DV in hotspot regions should be the government’s top priority.

Первая фортепианная соната Дмитрия Шостаковича — на полпути к авангарду
Authors: Гуревич В.А.
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена сочинению, в силу ряда причин не получившему широкое распространение в пианистической среде. Первая соната Дмитрия Дмитриевича Шостаковича, написанная двадцатилетним автором, — один из самых сложных опусов мировой фортепианной литературы. Технические задачи предельного уровня, которые она ставит перед интерпретатором, кажутся порой нерешаемыми, что является серьезным препятствием для качественного воплощения этой яркой, сильной, динамичной музыки. Статья рассказывает о разных сторонах произведения, уделяя основное внимание его стилистическим особенностям. Речь идет об интонационной структуре сонаты, сочетающей тональные и атональные компоненты, о специфике ее сквозной одночастной формы с нестандартным воплощением элементов сонатного аллегро. Проанализирован ассоциативный ряд, возникающий при воспроизведении и слушании сонаты. При множестве параллелей, введенных автором в интонационный комплекс этого опуса (Прокофьев, Барток, Берг), самым рельефными представляются связи с сочинениями Хиндемита, в особенности, с Камерной музыкой № 1 (1922), которая была хорошо известна Шостаковичу. Делается вывод о том, что Первая соната стала этапным сочинением в творчестве Шостаковича, обозначив одну из кульминаций его авангардистских исканий второй половины 1920-х годов.

The article is devoted to the composition, for a number of reasons, not widely spread in the pianistic environment. Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich’s first sonata, written by the twenty-year-old author, is one of the most complex works of world piano literature. The technical tasks of the highest level placed before an interpreter sometimes seem to be unsolvable, which is a serious obstacle to the qualitative realization of this bright, strong, dynamic music. The article reveals different sides of the work, focusing on its stylistic features. The intonational structure of the sonata combining tonal and atonal components, the specifics of its single-part form with a non-standard embodiment of the elements of the sonata allegro are considered. The associative series that occurs while playing and listening to the sonata was analyzed. With the many parallels introduced by the author into the intonational complex of this opus (Prokofiev, Bartok, Berg), the links with the Hindemith's compositions, especially with Chamber Music No. 1 (1922), which was well known to Shostakovich, are the most prominent. It is concluded that the First sonata became a landmark work in Shostakovich’s creativity, indicating one of the culminations of his vanguard searchings of the second half of the 1920s.
