Sukali Ndizi is one of the most popular local desert banana cultivars in Uganda. The crop is affected by a number of diseases and pests. Genetic improvement of the crop by hybridization may be hindered by very low seed set and poor seed germination. The main characteristics for assessing the female reproductive potential (seed set, seed quality and embryo germination of hybrid seeds) and 3x by 2x breeding approach were assessed in crosses of eleven different male diploid parents either wild or improved diploids with Sukali Ndizi landrace as the female parent for a period of 5 consecutive years planted in pollination blocks at National Agricultural Research Laboratories Kawanda (NARL). The month of pollination did not show any pattern throughout the pollination period but the crosses showed considerable variability in seed set, seed quality, and seed germination for different male diploids used. The water gravity test which differentiated the extracted seeds as sunken/viable and floating/nonviable seeds showed that a substantial amount of seed was floating and the sunken externally characterized by black hard integuments was only 39% with a range = 24%–60% which contained embryos, of which 22% (range = 0–37%) germinated. The increase in non-viable seed suggested that ovule abortion in Sukali Ndizi which mainly involved embryo and endosperm abortions was the cause of limited seed germination and the paternity of the zygotes was a major factor underlying abortions. Flow cytometric analysis of nuclear DNA content was used to estimate ploidy levels of the progenies with results showing that using 3x by 2x breeding approach differing levels of ploidy were achieved [3x (288), 4x (61), 5x (14) and 2x (2)] signifying the predominance of 3x progenies and the presence of 5x and 4x conforming to the possibility of sexual polyploids. Although pollination of Sukali Ndizi can be done all around the year, the seed set both quantity and quality and germination were very poor, necessitating the development of an efﬁcient regeneration protocol for zygotic embryos at varying maturity stages to increase the recovery of hybrids.
No future of island studies: Embracing island studies in plural
Authors: Grydehøj Adam
Published: May 2023

This editorial conclusion looks back on how Island Studies Journal has developed from its start in 2006, up through the beginning of the current editorship in 2017, and through to the start of a new editorship in mid-2023. Island studies has transformed from being a close-knit community centred on a few key scholars to being a field composed of numerous loosely connected movements. There is no longer a clearly identifiable ‘mainstream’ island studies and no longer a canon of crucial island studies researchers. Island studies journals and scholars are now coming from and writing from a great diversity of locations and positions. The plurality of island studies means there is room in the field for everyone.

Published: May 2023

In the marine industry, an engine transmits power through a marine shaft, also called a propeller shaft, to a propeller drive. Almost all naval architects construct this shaft as a solid cylinder. When a crack shows up in the hub of a shaft, it is essential to take preventative measures. When solid cylinders are exposed to various mechanical stresses, cracking or fracturing is a typical failure, and most of the crack exists in single and multiple cracks. Owing to the possible interactions between fractures, they are likely to play a significant role in how the structure collapses. Consequently, this study is being conducted to address issues emerging from the interaction of multiple cracks during particular loading conditions. This paper will highlight the research conducted on various cracks interacting with parallel configurations on the cylinder's surface. Finite Element Software, AnsysTM has been employed through modelling and simulation to calculate the stress intensity factor (SIF) for various crack geometry features and separation distances under various types of loading. The dimension for length and diameter of the cylinder has been set as 200 mm and 50 mm, respectively. The values of crack depth ratio used is ranged from 0.1 to 0.4 with the increment of 0.1, while for crack aspect ratio is 0.6. The results from the SIFs are normalized for generalization to determine the interaction factor and the relationship between two cracks and a single crack.

The impact of socio-emotional learning (SEL) on academic evaluation in higher education
Authors: Simion Anca
Published: May 2023

The implementation of social and emotional learning (SEL) strategies has been shown to foster cognitive development, boost student motivation and focus, improve teacher-student relationships, and enhance student confidence and achievement. To further promote engagement and social awareness in higher education, greater emphasis should be placed on addressing students' emotional needs in the classroom. By emphasizing respect for others, appreciation for diverse perspectives, and willingness to help those in need, SEL can enhance student motivation, academic achievement, and overall success in higher education. For many students, the transition to higher education can cause anxiety, stress, and a sense of isolation. Without the necessary social and emotional skills to navigate this new environment, students may struggle academically, socially, and emotionally. This is where social and emotional learning (SEL) can play a crucial role in helping students successfully transition to higher education. By developing SEL skills, individuals are better equipped to navigate life's challenges and opportunities, both in their personal and professional lives. The current study explores how students in higher education perceived their experiences related to assessment, performance, anxieties, insecurities, and self-management. The study aimed to gain a better understanding of how students perceive the higher education environment and how it impacts their motivation to learn and succeed.

"Let G be a group with identity e. Let R be a G-graded commutative ring with nonzero identity and M a graded R-module. In this paper, we introduce the concept of graded G2-absorbing submodule as a new generalization of a graded 2-absorbing submodule on the one hand and a generalization of a graded primary submodule on other hand. We give a number of results concerning these classes of graded submodules and their homogeneous components. In fact, our objective is to investigate graded G2-absorbing submodules and examine in particular when graded submodules are graded G2-absorbing submodules. For example, we give a characterization of graded G2-absorbing submodules. We also study the behaviour of graded G2-absorbing submodules under graded homomorphisms and under localization."

MAGNETOCALORIC EFFECT IN La1.2R0.2Ca1.6Mn2O7 (R=Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) PEROVSKITES SYNTHESIZED BY SOL-GEL METHOD
Authors: DUDRIC Roxana , SOUCA Gabriela , GOGA Firuța
Published: May 2023

Nanocrystalline double layered La1.2R0.2Ca1.6Mn2O7 manganites with R = Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er were synthesized by sol-gel method. The XRD measurements indicate that all samples are single phase with a Sr3Ti2O7-type tetragonal (I4/mmm) structure and mean crystallite sizes between 22 nm and 27 nm. The magnetic measurements evidence a spin-glass like behavior at low temperatures for all samples, which may be due to frustration of random competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions together with the anisotropy originating from the layered structure. A moderate magnetocaloric effect was found for all samples, with the maximum entropy change located at temperatures near the magnetic transition ones, but high RCP(S) values were obtained due to the broadened magnetic entropy curves.

Published: May 2023

In this work, the influence of co-doping with Al and rare earth ions (RE= Er, Gd, Nd) on the structure and morphology of zinc oxide (ZnO) films is presented. Spray coated thin films were obtained using a mixture of nitrate substances diluted in equal quantities of distilled water and ethanol. The coated films were deposited on quartz glass and Si(100) substrates using a constant concentration of 0.15M, a temperature of 210ºC, pressure of 2 bar and 10 minutes time of deposition. After this step, the coated films were annealed at 3 different temperatures (600ºC, 800ºC and 1000ºC) for 5 minutes each. The influence of dopant and annealing treatment upon crystallographic structure of the films was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Microstructural and surface analysis from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and AFM measurements evidenced that the type of doping and the annealing treatment modify the surface morphology of the films.

Espacios de uso público en los conjuntos habitacionales del movimiento moderno: el ambiente urbano en tres casos de Santiago de Chile
Authors: Arizaga Ximena
Published: May 2023

En Santiago de Chile, como en otras partes del mundo, los conjuntos habitacionales del movimiento moderno abarcaron grandes superficies de terreno en los que se configuró una lógica distinta a la manzana tradicional compacta de la ciudad latinoamericana, con importantes espacios interiores, circulaciones y comercios que se disociaron de la calle y el tránsito vehicular. La investigación busca aprender de las posibilidades que albergan estas formas construidas y desvelar las preferencias de los usuarios por estos espacios públicos –los que se muestran muy versátiles en su potencial de adaptación– teniendo en perspectiva los aprendizajes que se pueden deducir de esta forma de densificar la ciudad. Con este fin, se despiezan los espacios de uso público, se catastran los usos y se identifican los ambientes destacados para poner en relación las características espaciales con las preferencias de los usuarios.

La construcción de embalses data de fechas muy antiguas; comenzó desde hace 3 000 años en la Media luna fértil con el objetivo primario de servir como depósitos de agua, pero también para controlar inundaciones, irrigar tierras de cultivo y permitiro mejorar la navegación. Con la llegada de la Revolución industrial y con la tecnología para generar electricidad a partir del movimiento del agua, los humanos empezaron a construir grandes presas para obtener energía. Las primeras que incorporaron una central de energía eléctrica se construyeron a finales del siglo XIX en Europa occidental y en los Estados Unidos. La construcciónde embalses vivió una revolución durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX, en particular en la década de los setenta, así que para el año 2000 alrededor de 45 000 represas de gran capacidad y aproximadamente 800 000 pequeñas se habían construido en todo el mundo. En conjunto generan 19% de la electricidad mundial y suministran agua para 30 o 40% de las tierras de cultivos de riego.
THE DYNAMICS OF DETERMINING MEN AND WOMEN PARTS IN MATTERS OF INHERITANCE: A STUDY OF ISLAMIC LAW
Authors: Tarmizi Tarmizi , Gustika Sandra  , Jumra Jumra , Sakti Yadi
Published: May 2023

This study aims to understand the dynamics of determining men's and women's parts of inheritance; explore thoughts related to contemporary inheritance formulations and analyze from the perspective of Islamic law. This research is library research with a normative approach (syar'i) in the form of literary analysis relevant to the research object, namely the problem of determining men's and women's parts in the matter of inheritance. The Data were collected structurally through document studies to be analyzed. Data analysis uses qualitative content analysis of relevant documents or texts. As a result, determining men's and women's parts is currently experiencing dynamics 2:1 to 1:1 concept because of the influence of customary law, distribution of inheritance level of welfare, and understanding of the justice value, which has shifted from based on rights and obligations which interpreted according to the needs and conditions. The 1:1 inheritance paradigm or equal share results from the ijtihad of contemporary figures by understanding the value of justice according to social situations and conditions and gender equality. The initiators of the paradigm are Hazairin with the concept of bilateral inheritance, Munawir Sjadzali with his quantitative equation, Muhammad Syahrur, and Yahya Harahap with the concept of boundary theory. According to Islamic law, the 1:1 inheritance paradigm is not contradictory because the goal is for the common good of the heirs. In contrast, the benefit is the goal of Islamic law through the concept of maqāsiḍ sharia by paying attention to the rules of Islamic law, such as not ignoring human rights and maintaining good relations with others. Islamic law, with its flexibility that can adapt to place, time, and circumstances, has also blended with the results of contemporary ijtihad.

Published: May 2023

Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are heavy metals considered possible contaminants of water, soil and air (especially when occurring as a consequence of human activities in agriculture or industry), and can be found in the liver or kidneys of animals, thus serving as indicators of pollution. Vojvodina is a northern province of the Republic of Serbia which boasts very intensive agricultural production, especially crop production. The brown hare is well-adapted and abundant in Vojvodina. As a complete herbivore, it has the potential to be a good biomonitor for the presence of lead and cadmium in the chosen biotope. A total of 60 samples of hare livers were collected and analyzed immediately after hunting. The average concentration of lead in all the liver samples analyzed was 851.43 µg/kg of wet tissue. The lead concentrations determined at three different sites in Vojvodina (namely Odžaci in Bačka, Rusko selo in Banat and Kraljevci in Srem) were not statistically significant. However, the average lead concentrations at all the sites were above the permitted level (500 µg/kg of wet tissue). The maximum amount of lead determined was 2,302 µg/kg of wet tissue, i.e. almost five times above the permitted level. The cadmium concentrations in all the samples analyzed ranged from 12.90 to 1183.00 µg/kg of wet tissue. The average cadmium concentrations determined at three different sites were found statistically significant, suggesting a local source of contamination. The average cadmium concentrations at sites I, II and III were 65.57, 205.91 and 413.99 µg/kg of wet tissue, respectively. The average cadmium concentrations determined at the sites considered were below the permitted level, although exceeding the legal limit in some of the samples analyzed.

The purpose of this study is to examine the status of roe deer population in the hunting grounds of Central Serbia, and perform a SWOT analysis of its management. The data used herein on the number of roe deer individuals and culling events were obtained from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management - Forest Administration and the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia. Moreover, the Law on Game and Hunting was used for analysis purposes. The status of roe deer population in the hunting grounds of Serbia is quite unsatisfactory, depending on the geographical area and wildlife management practices. In 2021, a total of 86,755 individuals were recorded in the area of Central Serbia, which accounts for 97.54% of the optimal population. However, the number of roe deer in the individual hunting grounds of the Central and Eastern hunting areas was above the optimal density, whereas the number of roe deer accounted for 88.58% and 89.12% of the optimal density in the individual hunting grounds of the Southern and Western hunting areas, respectively. The largest number of individuals per unit area (km2) was recorded in the Eastern (2.06) and Belgrade (2.02) hunting areas, whereas the smallest number of individuals per unit area (km2) was recorded in the Southern (1.02) and Western (1.34) hunting areas. The following issues were identified as major impediments to the management of roe deer population in the hunting grounds considered: legislative and regulatory instruments, non-compliance and non-enforcement of a large number of regulations, roe deer monitoring issues, poor hunting ground control, inapplicability of certain regulations in the field of veterinary medicine, environmental protection, unresolved issues of trophy and game meat export, lack of strategic planning (namely the hunting development strategies of the Republic of Serbia), lack of deer habitat monitoring methodology and rating methodology, and unprofessional planning and development of hunting ground management plans. The SWOT analysis performed emphasized the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of roe deer population management in Serbia.

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) and kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea Gongylodes group) take a very important place in vegetable farming around the world. Obtaining good-quality plants with minimal inputs is imperative in production. The experiment was set up in Sombor, on chernozem. The research analyzed the effect of 9 organic and mineral fertilizers (individually and in combinations), in the presence or absence of mulch, on the quality and the yield of cabbage (variety Adema) and kohlrabi (variety Volturno). The content of nitrates, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were determined after harvesting. The highest yield was obtained by using pig manure + 500 kg NPK/ha and mulch in cabbage, and by applying the same treatment without mulch in kohlrabi. Cabbage and kohlrabi fertilized with beef manure in combination with NPK (300 and 500 kg/ha) had a lower concentration of nitrate than with other kinds of fertilizing. The combination of organic and mineral fertilizers gave the best result both in terms of quality (the content of nitrates, N, P) and yield.

Background

Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is not a common but known complication and carries high mortality and morbidity rates. This report identifies a successful management strategy for recurrent DSWI, and it is a valuable addition to the medical literature supporting the management of sternal wound infections (SWI) along with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).

Case presentation

This report describes the successful management of recurrent DSWI after OHT in a 52-year-old patient. We performed secondary sternotomy closure along with NPWT for the immunosuppressed patient.

Conclusion

Our case demonstrates that a combination of reduced immunosuppression, adequate antimicrobial treatment, and NPWT can effectively treat complicated DSWI.

This study aims to determine the accountability determinants of village fund allocation management with leader behavior as a moderating variable. This research was conducted in Binjai District, Langkat Regency. The sampling technique used was a saturated sample with a total sample of 54 respondents. The data collection method used a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The data analysis method used in this study is multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis using a significant level of 0.05. The results showed that partially, the use of the SISKEUDES application, village apparatus competence, and leader behavior had a significant positive effect on the accountability of village fund allocation management. Moderation regression analysis shows that the leader behavior variable strengthens the relationship between the effect of using the SISKEUDES application on village fund allocation management accountability and the leader behavior variable weakens the relationship between the influence of village apparatus competence on village fund allocation management accountability. The value of the coefficient of determination (R2) is 55.1 percent.

The study aims to fill gaps in the study by doing a systematic library review to identify and analyze the factors affecting the tax voluntary disclosure program (PPS) in 2022. This study method is a systematic literature review by following the systematic literacy process consisting of the main stages of revving planning, recitation, and reporting. Based on the results of the selection, as many as 12 papers are used for this systematic literature search based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Extracted data were integrated to create survey questions presented for review purposes. The review literature review of all research published from the paper published from 2020-2022 states that the factors affecting voluntary disclosure programs (PPS) in 2022 were untargeted because of the covid-19 pandemic in 2020-2021 and resulted in tax duty not reporting as much as yearly. And this has turned Indonesia into an economic recession. The benefit of the voluntary disclosure program (PPS) in 2022 is increased tax compliance in reporting and following tax rules. Nevertheless, one of the flaws in the administration of this program is the lack of a taxpayer's misunderstanding of newly judged tax rules.

This study investigates the relationship between auditor independence, integrity, objectivity, and audit quality. This study's population consisted of all Aceh Inspectorate auditors. Fifty respondents were selected using a non-probability sampling method in conjunction with the census method. Primary data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires. Statistical data were analyzed by SPSS 26 version. This study shows that audit quality is affected simultaneously by independence, objectivity, and integrity. Auditor independence and objectivity affect audit quality, while integrity does not affect audit quality. According to the moderating regression study, auditor ethics moderated the relationship between the effect of independence and integrity on audit quality but does not moderate the effect of objectivity on audit quality.

The purpose of this study was to investigate both parent and child perceptions of parental involvement, parental expectations, parental pressure, and parental warmth, and the relationship of these variables with GPA. It was hypothesized that each of the independent variables would be positively correlated with GPA, excluding parental pressure, which would be negatively correlated with GPA. It was also hypothesized that the combination of high parental expectations and low parental involvement would have a positive relationship with parental pressure and a negative relationship with parental warmth. Parents (n = 158) of children in 6th–8th grade and 70 6th–8th grade children completed an online survey measuring these factors. Results from the parent survey demonstrated a positive correlation between parental expectations and child GPA (p = .047). Results from the child survey showed a negative correlation between parental pressure and GPA (p = .003), and that parental involvement can predict scores for the child’s sense of parental warmth. These findings provide a better understanding of various factors related to academic success, and they can lead to effective interventions for both parents and the educational system to increase academic achievement in youth.

As psychological researchers increasingly collect data from Workers on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk), we examine the history of this data collection platform, reasons for both confidence and caution in the use of the data, and factors that differentiate MTurk data from data collected using more traditional methods. This discussion includes issues of recruitment, responder bias, the psychometric quality of the data, and ethical issues relating to incentives and compensation.

Published: May 2023

Social media platforms continue to increase in popularity and number. Although many associations between social media and user health interactions have been explored, little to no research has investigated TikTok, a recently released social media platform, and its individual interactions with user mental and physical well-being variables. To address this gap, we administered an online questionnaire to a group of college students (n = 407) at Brigham Young University – Idaho about their social media use, mental, and physical well-being. We observed potential differences among TikTok account holders and non-TikTok users using a series of independent-samples t tests with Bonferroni correction. Although TikTok account holders reported higher negative mental well-being indicators than their nonuser counterparts in almost all measured areas, these relationships were only consistent among female TikTok account holders. Conversely, our findings of significantly higher reported consumption of sugary drinks across our entire sample, t(403) = 3.41, p = .001, d = 0.33, only maintained significance among male participants, t(141) = 3.04, p < .001, d = 0.50. As such, female TikTok account holders reported consistently worse mental health and well-being indicators than non-TikTok users. Building on our findings, we call for future research to better understand the nature of these relationships for both TikTok and other social media users’.

Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn. is a fungal pathogen that causes sheath blight in rice plants. Sheath blight disease can reduce rice production for the people of Indonesia. To prevent blight, fungicides are used. The continuous use of synthetic fungicides with inappropriate doses can have a negative impact, so it is necessary to look for alternatives with vegetable fungicides, one of which is clove leaf (Syzygium aromaticum L.). The aim of this study was to determine the ability of clove leaf extract to inhibit the fungus R. Solani and the class of compounds contained in the extract. Data were collected and collected using the MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) test using the well-diffusion method, the inhibition percentage of clove leaf extract using the colony method, and the content of compounds using the phytochemical test. The minimum concentration (MIC) of clove leaf extract capable of inhibiting the fungus R. solani is 0.5%. The percentage of inhibitory activity can be reduced by 100% at an extract concentration of 1.5%. Clove leaf extract contains groups of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, phenols, steroids and terpenoids.
