Agri-food import substitution through the prism of agricultural sustainability
Authors:   Russian State Agrarian University – MSKhA named after K.A. Timiryazev, Moscow, Russia, Golubev Alexey V.
Published: October 2022

The difficult geopolitical situation has exacerbated the problem of agri-food import substitution, in which Russia has made obvious progress in recent years. However, the increasing volumes of agricultural production do not guarantee the further dynamics of the development of the industry. On the contrary, a number of fundamental growth factors in some cases do not provide even simple reproduction. Thus, the natural fertility of the soil has been steadily declining over the past decades, the material and technical base of agriculture is not updated in sufficient volume, the wages of farmers are significantly lower than the average level in the economy, many enterprises of the industry are credited, the disparity of prices for agricultural and industrial products is increasing. These contradictions between the growth of output and the reproductive abilities of the agricultural sector of the economy cannot last forever. Therefore, a transition to sustainable agricultural development is necessary, assuming that the current needs of society are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. To do this, Russia has key capabilities that allow the priority conversion of available energy resources into food production on a planetary scale, which, in addition to the source of economic prosperity, strengthens the geopolitical influence of our country.

The market of sugary products occupies a significant share of the Russian food market. The pace of its development is determined by the scale of raw materials, the ability of businesses to attract capital for innovative projects to diversify the economy and expand the range of products, as well as the availability of markets for finished products. Today, the dominant position in the market of sugary substances is occupied by sugar produced from sugar beet and raw sugar, which is obtained during the processing of sugar cane. The growth of the market of sugary starch products is due to a wider range of their technological and consumer properties compared to sugar. Sugary starch products can be produced with specified functional properties that meet the requirements of various consumers, both for industrial purposes and for households. The balance of equilibrium in the market of sugary products will be determined by the availability of the necessary resources, taking into account the product range to meet demand, the price situation of the domestic and foreign markets, the expansion of production of products for healthy nutrition. The boundaries of the sugar products market growth will be determined by the dynamics of domestic demand and the development of exports, attracting investment in this sector of the economy for the introduction of innovations and resource-saving technologies.

Food self-sufficiency and state support of the region (on the example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Authors:   Arctic State Agrotechnological University, Yakutsk, Russia, Rodnina Natalia V.
Published: October 2022

The article deals with the urgent issue of food self-sufficiency of the subjects of the Russian Federation and the impact of state financial support on it. Both the food security of the country and the food self-sufficiency of a particular region are among the main directions of state policy today. For the northern, Arctic region with complex climatic, transportation, infrastructure conditions, food security is a complex multifactorial problem. Low agricultural potential and hence insignificant volumes of local agricultural production are reflected in the food market in the form of its shortage and the high cost of goods sold. Sometimes this leads to non-compliance with the recommended rational nutrition standards of the population. Due to market mechanisms, the food problem cannot be completely solved, especially in the northern regions. It is necessary to take more effective measures of state financial support that contribute to increasing the volume of own food production.

The growth of technological unemployment in the context of the massive use of robots and artificial intelligence is an urgent practice and scientific problem. The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the use of artificial intelligence technologies and robotics on unemployment in agriculture. As research methods, screening of scientific literature on this issue and questioning of the expert group are used. The analysis and grouping of various scientific approaches to assessing the impact of artificial intelligence technologies and robotics on technological unemployment has been carried out. According to experts, the use of artificial intelligence and robotics technologies in agriculture will cause a cardinal impact on the industry (56.6% and 58.9%, respectively). At the same time, experts assess the possible increase in unemployment in rural areas as a result of the use of these technologies as insignificant (55.3% and 59.6% of all estimates). Specific recommendations are given to reduce the impact of the use of artificial intelligence technologies and robotics on technological unemployment, which consist in the need to improve the skills of workers, acquire unique skills for them, and create effective trade union organizations.

A significant part of the territory of the Russian regions is located in areas characterized by extreme natural conditions, which to some extent limits the possibilities of agricultural development. In the regions of the country, it is strategically important to ensure the preservation, restoration and increase of productivity of the main factor of agricultural production – agricultural land, to create conditions for their rational use and involvement in agricultural turnover of unused arable land. The low bioclimatic potential and the continentality of the climate characterize the extreme natural and climatic situation of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District and are the basis for their differentiation by soil and climatic conditions. The extreme climate significantly reduces the productivity of agricultural land and caused a reduction in the volume of per capita production and consumption of protein-containing products in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District. The article assesses the efficiency of the use of agricultural land in Russia and the Far Eastern regions, justifies their grouping by soil and climatic conditions, identifies priority measures to increase land productivity. An element of the scientific contribution of the study is the zoning of the territories of the Far Eastern Federal District based on the assessment of their soil and climatic conditions and the author’s method of differentiating regions by groups with the identification of food production opportunities and the proposal of priority directions for increasing the productivity of agricultural land. The materials and results of the study have theoretical significance, as well as practical value for regional authorities in the development of agri-food policy.
Enlightening Encounters: The Journeys of an Anthropologist
Authors: Gudeman Stephen
Published: October 2022

One of the world's top anthropologists recounts his formative experiences doing fieldwork in this accessible memoir ideal for anyone interested in anthropology. Drawing on his research in five Latin American countries, Steve Gudeman describes his anthropological fieldwork, bringing to life the excitement of gaining an understanding of the practices and ideas of others as well as the frustrations. He weaves into the text some of his findings as well as reflections on his own background that led to better fieldwork but also led him astray. This readable account, shorn of technical words, complicated concepts, and abstract ideas shows the reader what it is to be an anthropologist enquiring and responding to the unexpected. From the Preface: Growing up I learned about making do when my family was putting together a dinner from leftovers or I was constructing something with my father. In fieldwork I saw people making do as they worked in the fields, repaired a tool, assembled a meal or made something for sale. Much later, I realized that making do captures some of my fieldwork practices and their presentation in this book.
Beyond (and Before) the Transnational Turn
Authors: Pineda Erin
Published: October 2022

Can civil disobedience be transnationalized? This question presumes civil disobedience to be a fundamentally domestic concept—one constitutively tied to both the nation-state and the normative underpinnings of liberal, constitutional democracies. This article shows how this assumption mistakes one version of civil disobedience’s twentieth-century intellectual history for the whole of it, and risks reproducing binaries (domestic vs. international, democracies vs. non-democracies) that trouble attempts to theorize the transnational. Turning to an alternative intellectual history—a network of civil rights and anticolonial activists—reveals a novel theory of civil disobedience as decolonizing praxis, as well the stakes of these binaries: the disavowal of white supremacy as pervasive and durable global structure of governance, linking the domestic to the international, and democratic rule to domination.

Published: October 2022

The current technical condition of antenna fields used in short-wave stationary transmitting radio centers is considered. The basic requirements for antenna systems used in radio centers to allow effective operation on routes having a length of 100‒5000 km are formulated. Models for the most common types of HF-band antenna systems constructed using electrodynamic modeling methods, which include logoperiodic, rhombic horizontal double, symmetrical horizontal vibrator, are described together with their energy and non-energy characteristics. Designs for a modified version of an ultra-wide-band logoperiodic structure and active phased array operating in the frequency range of 2–30 MHz are presented. Energy and non-energy parameters of existing and modified antenna systems proposed for replacement are compared. Presented results of track tests using existing and prospective antenna systems operating on a real object include an assessment of the effectiveness of each system on an average-length radio track (2100 km). The developed approach to constructing a high-frequency path of a transmitting radio center using ultra-wide-band pyramidal curved logoperiodic and pin antennas is based on calculated and experimentally obtained results. Active phased antenna arrays with controlled directional patterns developed on their basis are presented along with an appropriate antenna field layout variant.

Published: October 2022

Weakly balanced repeated measurements designs (RMDs) are used to balance out residual effects where minimal balanced RMDs cannot be obtained. RMDs are equally important in periods of both equal and unequal sizes. There should be a general procedure to construct these designs. In this article, some generators are developed for the general construction of efficient minimal circular weakly balanced RMDs.
General Equilibrium Effects of Investments in Education, and Changes in the Labor Force Composition
Authors: Roson Roberto
Published: October 2022

We propose, in this paper, a novel approach to modelling education and human capital formation in a computable general equilibrium model. Rather than adopting microeconomic-based assumptions of human capital formation, the method is based on an empirical relationship between labor force composition and expenditure on education services. We found some robust correlation between workers’ shares in the labor force and educational expenditure, in real terms and per capita. To assess the implications of these findings, we simulate, in a conventional CGE model for Ethiopia, the impact of an increase in public expenditure devoted to education. Our simulation results highlight the existence of a multiplicative effect, such that the overall increase in the supply of education services, in the final equilibrium state, is more than three times larger than the initial demand push. This comes associated with a positive supply shock, entailing gains in productivity, income, and welfare, as well as changes in the structure of the economy.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different land use systems on total organic carbon (TOC) contents and stocks and the daily and total evolution of mineralizable carbon (C-CO2) in a sandy-textured Argissolo Vermelho Amarelo. The study was carried out in Eldorado, MS, in a reference area of Native Forest (NF) and three managed areas: Permanent Pasture (PP), Direct Sowing b(DS), and an area of Private Natural Heritage Reserve (PNHR) in the process of natural regeneration. Soil samples from the 0.0-0.05, 0.05-0.10, and 0.10-0.20 m layers were collected to assess soil density (Sd), TOC contents, with subsequent calculations of the stratification index (SI), carbon stock (StockC), and variation of the total organic carbon stock (∆StockC), in addition to the determination of daily emission and calculation of total C-CO2 accumulation. The NF area had the highest levels and stocks of TOC, reaching 16.42 g kg-1 and 20.90 Mg ha-1, respectively. On the other hand, the PP and PNHR areas had the lowest content and StockC. The areas of PP, DS, PNHR, and NF presented SI values of 1.08, 1.13, 1.32, and 1.61, respectively. The NF area showed higher peaks and a higher total accumulation of C-CO2, inferring the highest biological activity in this area. By multivariate analysis, none of the managed areas was close to the NF in quality. The worst results considering the evaluated attributes were observed in the areas of PP and PNHR due to the stage of degradation of these areas as a result of exploration and land use history.
Epidermal Growth Factor Application versus Observation on Healing of Acute Tympanic Membrane Perforations: A Randomized Open Label Clinical Trial
Authors: Atanacio Arlex Michael , Teodoro-Estaris Emily Grace
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare the effect of topical epidermal growth factor (EGF) instillation versus observation alone on healing of acute tympanic membrane perforations in terms of closure and hearing test results.
Methods: 

Design: Randomized, Open label, Clinical Trial
Setting: Tertiary Government Training Hospital
Participants: Seventeen (17) ENT-HNS OPD patients aged between 18 to 65 years old diagnosed with acute tympanic membrane perforation were included in the study. Group A underwent observation while group B was treated with recombinant human EGF solution. Follow- up was on a weekly basis (7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days) where video otoscopy for documentation and measurement of perforation using ImageJTM software was done. Pure tone audiometry was used to compare hearing improvement pre and post study in both observation and treatment groups.

Results: At baseline, there was no significant difference in the sizes of perforations: 24.20 ± 9.95 (treatment) vs. 32.64 ± 11.62 (observation) with a p-value of .131. Following treatment, mean changes in perforation size were significantly greater in the treatment group compared to the observation group from baseline to day 7 (M = -9.08, n = 15.11 vs. M = -1.06, n = 31.58); p = .009; day 7 to 14 (M = -6.37, n = 13.78 vs. M = -0.79, n = 30.79); p = .003; and from day 14 to 21 (M = -5.65, n = 10.89 vs. M = -0.72, n = 30.07); p = .004 but not from day 21 to 28 (M = -4.16, n = 13.99 vs. M = -0.36, n = 29.71; p = .021. From baseline pure tone averages, four participants with mild hearing loss and two with moderate hearing loss achieved normal hearing in the treatment group (while one each with moderate and severe hearing loss did not improve). None of the observation group participants had improved hearing.
Conclusion: Based on our limited experience, topical EGF can be used for traumatic tympanic membrane perforation and otitis media with dry ear perforation during the acute phase or within 3 months of perforation.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To describe our reconstruction of an orbital roof and lateral wall defect using a split- thickness calvarial bone graft with titanium mesh complex after resection of a meningioma of the left greater wing of the sphenoid with extension to the left frontotemporal bone and left orbital roof and lateral wall.
Methods:
            Study Design: Surgical Innovation
            Setting: Tertiary Private University Hospital
            Patient: One
Results: A 44-year-old woman with a left frontotemporal mass associated with left eye proptosis and epiphora underwent reconstruction of the left orbital roof and lateral wall defect using split-thickness calvarial bone graft with titanium mesh and screws after a left frontotemporal craniectomy, superior and lateral orbital wall resection of a mass of the sphenoid wing with orbital and frontotemporal extension. Final histopathology was consistent with meningioma. Surveillance of the mass and orbital reconstruction showed evidence of bone growth and osteointegration of the titanium mesh into the bone grafts.
Conclusion: The initial good outcome of orbital roof and lateral wall reconstruction using split-thickness calvarial bone graft with titanium mesh is evidenced by osteointegration of the titanium mesh and revascularization leading to new bone growth. This autogenous-alloplastic complex may provide a more stable option for orbital reconstruction, but long term follow-up is needed for surveillance of recurrence and monitoring the status of orbital reconstruction.

Unexploded ordnance contamination and household livelihood choice in rural Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Thuy Ngoc , Tran Tuyen Quang , Vu Huong Van
Published: October 2022

Vietnam is a country that found itself at the center of the Indochina wars and was subjected to the most intense aerial bombing in history. However, little research has been done on the effect of unexploded ordnance (UXO) contamination on household livelihoods in rural Vietnam. In this paper, we investigate the contaminating effect of unexploded ordnance on households. Livelihood choices are classified by cluster analysis techniques, and unexploded ordnance contamination is measured at the district level by the proportion of land at risk from unexploded bombs and mines. We examine the effect of UXO contamination on livelihood choices using a multinomial logit model, controlling for various important household and regional level characteristics. It was found that households in districts with greater contamination were less likely to adopt a formal wage-earning livelihood, characterized by higher income and less poverty, than they were to engage in an agricultural livelihood. This suggests that the Indochina wars have had a long-running effect, reducing the likelihood of non-farm diversification, which in turn diminishes economic well-being among rural households in Vietnam.

Authors: Gayosso Barragán Odilon , López-Benítez Alfonso , Ramírez-Meraz Moisés , Marroquín-Morales José A. , Vizcarra-López Manuel
Published: October 2022

Objective: To evaluate the reaction of five inbred lines of habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) to the inoculation of Fusarium oxisporum and to identify genotypes with possible levels of resistance to this pathogen.
Design/methodology/approach: Samples of hot pepper plant stems with typical symptoms of vascular wilt disease were obtained. Then, due to microscopic morphological characteristics of mycelium and conidia in the samples, patogen was identified as Fusarium oxisporum. By immersion of roots, at a concentration of 1x106 conidia per mL, five inbred lines of habanero pepper were inoculated. In addition to the serrano type cultivar Criollo de Morelos 334 (CM-334). The percentage disease index and area under the disease progress curve (ABCPE) were estimated in a randomized complete block design, with three replicates.
Results: Significant differences (p≤0.05) were observed for disease index and ABCPE in the genotypes evaluated; evidencing the difference in the genetic basis of the genotypes and the resistance or susceptibility to Fusarium oxisporum. The CM-334 cultivar, the Habanero 5 and Habanero 8 lines showed the lowest percentage of incidence of the disease (10, 20 and 30%, respectively) and ABCPE of 300, 560 and 880. In turn, lines Habanero 9 and Habanero 6 reached the highest ABCPE values with 2220 and 2190, respectively.
Study limitations/implications: The disease resistance response in plants is complex and contains multiple interactions between genes, proteins, and metabolites.
Findings/conclusions: The grouping of genotypes according to their reaction to Fusarium wilt disease facilitated the identification of resistant and susceptible lines, which can be considered in subsequent genetic improvement studies for hot pepper cultivation.

Published: October 2022

Objective: To describe the standard of living in the "Mulato Viejo" community; culture and their agricultural practices facing the current governmental development policies.
Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted during 2019, applying surveys and interviews to key informants with experience in community-elected positions.
Results: The results showed that families practice some traditional farming techniques based on family labor. There was also a lag in the incorporation of women (5.5%), and in the generational renewal of producers. For example, 84% are older than 40 years-old and out of those, only 69% completed elementary education. Thus, they do not know the rationality fundamentals of the agricultural practices they use. This limits the use of machinery to reduce the workload and the production costs, or to innovate.
Study limitations/implications: The main limitations were the sample size and the replicability of the study; a single community was analyzed. It is proposed then to expand the study to other communities with similar characteristics.
Findings/conclusions: Semi-traditional agriculture has preserved local landraces of maize. Yet, it is necessary for the community to incorporate dynamics that may diversify agricultural activities, crops; and allow establishing networks of cooperation and intra-community trade. So that agricultural activities may become an economic option profitable to further generations, who would have a greater capacity to acquire the bases for a sustainable agriculture. With the goal to improve yield but, with the challenge of keeping the traditional agricultural practices intact.
Assessing the Impact of Color Normalization in Convolutional Neural Network-Based Nuclei Segmentation Frameworks
Authors: Pontalba Justin Tyler , Gwynne-Timothy Thomas , David Ephraim , Jakate Kiran , Androutsos Dimitrios , Khademi April
Published: October 2022

Image analysis tools for cancer, such as automatic nuclei segmentation, are impacted by the inherent variation contained in pathology image data. Convolutional neural networks (CNN), demonstrate success in generalizing to variable data, illustrating great potential as a solution to the problem of data variability. In some CNN-based segmentation works for digital pathology, authors apply color normalization (CN) to reduce color variability of data as a preprocessing step prior to prediction, while others do not. Both approaches achieve reasonable performance and yet, the reasoning for utilizing this step has not been justified. It is therefore important to evaluate the necessity and impact of CN for deep learning frameworks, and its effect on downstream processes. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of popular CN methods on CNN-based nuclei segmentation frameworks.

Published: October 2022

Background: This study examines the relationship between delusional severity in cognitively impaired adults with automatically computed volume and texture biomarkers from the Normal Appearing Brain Matter (NABM) in FLAIR MRI. Methods: Patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n = 24) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD, n = 18) with delusions of varying severities based on Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Questionnaire (NPI-Q) (1-mild, 2-moderate, 3-severe) from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) were analyzed for this task. The NABM region, which is gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) combined, was automatically segmented in FLAIR MRI volumes with intensity standardization and thresholding. Three imaging biomarkers were computed from this region, including NABM volume and two texture markers called "Integrity" and "Damage". Together, these imaging biomarkers quantify structural changes in brain volume, microstructural integrity and tissue damage. Multivariable regression was used to investigate relationships between imaging biomarkers and delusional severities (1, 2 and 3). Sex, age, education, APOE4 and baseline cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tau were included as co-variates. Results: Biomarkers were extracted from a total of 42 participants with longitudinal time points representing 164 imaging volumes. Significant associations were found for all three NABM biomarkers between delusion level 3 and level 1. Integrity was also sensitive enough to show differences between delusion level 1 and delusion level 2. A significant specified interaction was noted with severe delusions (level 3) and CSF tau for all imaging biomarkers (p < 0.01). APOE4 homozygotes were also significantly related to the biomarkers. Conclusion: Cognitively impaired older adults with more severe delusions have greater global brain disease burden in the WM and GM combined (NABM) as measured using FLAIR MRI. Relative to patients with mild delusions, tissue degeneration in the NABM was more pronounced in subjects with higher delusional symptoms, with a significant association with CSF tau. Future studies are required to establish potential tau-associated mechanisms of increased delusional severity.

Published: October 2022

Automated image analysis tools for Ki67 breast cancer digital pathology images would have signiﬁcant value if integrated into diagnostic pathology workﬂows. Such tools would reduce the workload of pathologists, while improving efﬁciency, and accuracy. Developing tools that are robust and reliable to multicentre data is challenging, however, differences in staining protocols, digitization equipment, staining compounds, and slide preparation can create variabilities in image quality and color across digital pathology datasets. In this work, a novel unsupervised color separation framework based on the IHC color histogram (IHCCH) is proposed for the robust analysis of Ki67 and hematoxylin stained images in multicentre datasets. An “overstaining” threshold is implemented to adjustforbackgroundoverstaining,andanautomatednucleiradiusestimatorisdesigned to improve nuclei detection. Proliferation index and F1 scores were compared between the proposed method and manually labeled ground truth data for 30 TMA cores that have ground truths for Ki67+ and Ki67− nuclei. The method accurately quantiﬁed the PI over the dataset, with an average proliferation index difference of 3.25%. To ensure the method generalizes to new, diverse datasets, 50 Ki67 TMAs from the Protein Atlas were used to test the validated approach. As the ground truth for this dataset is PI ranges, the automated result was compared to the PI range. The proposed method correctly classiﬁed 74 out of 80 TMA images, resulting in a 92.5% accuracy. In addition to these validations experiments, performance was compared to two color-deconvolution based methods, and to six machine learning classiﬁers. In all cases, the proposed work maintained more consistent (reproducible) results, and higher PI quantiﬁcation accuracy.

In this work, a novel proliferation index (PI) calculator for Ki67 images called piNET is proposed. It is successfully tested on four datasets, from three scanners comprised of patches, tissue microarrays (TMAs) and whole slide images (WSI), representing a diverse multi-centre dataset for evaluating Ki67 quantiﬁcation. Compared to state-of-the-art methods, piNET consistently performs the best over all datasets with an average PI difference of 5.603%, PI accuracy rate of 86% and correlation coefﬁcient R = 0.927. The success of the system can be attributed to several innovations. Firstly, this tool is built based on deep learning, which can adapt to wide variability of medical images—and it was posed as a detection problem to mimic pathologists’ workﬂow which improves accuracy and efﬁciency. Secondly, the system is trained purely on tumor cells, which reduces false positives from non-tumor cells without needing the usual pre-requisite tumor segmentation step for Ki67quantiﬁcation. Thirdly,theconceptoflearningbackgroundregionsthroughweaksupervisionis introduced, by providing the system with ideal and non-ideal (artifact) patches that further reduces false positives. Lastly, a novel hotspot analysis is proposed to allow automated methods to score patches from WSI that contain “signiﬁcant” activity.
Practice-Dependent Differences in the Automatization of Literary Arabic (LA) Speech Production
Authors: Hashem Rabab
Published: October 2022

Native speakers of Arabic acquire language in a diglossic context that requires them to use different varieties for different purposes: spoken Arabic (SA) is the dialect they use informally in daily oral communications; literary Arabic (LA) is the variety they use mainly for reading, writing, and formal communications. In general, Arabic native speakers perform differently across different tasks and modalities­­—performance tends to be better when the task requires SA or LA in the same way it is normally used. In this study, an LA speech production task was performed by two groups of Arabic native speakers who varied significantly in their amount of practice with LA. Although both groups acquired LA under the same conditions, the group with more practice was more fluent. Practice-dependent differences are interpreted within a memory-based automaticity framework. Such a framework, it is argued, is able to account for differences both in general performance patterns among the Arab population as well as specific, practice-dependent patterns such as those observed in the present study.

In an industrial scope, the industry itself cannot be separated from a risk, and the shipping industry is no exception. The risk itself can possibly emerge from the company’s internal environment and there is a risk that emerge from company’s external environment. Therefore, companies are required to be able to manage the risks that may arise and give various impact. Basically, if the company can manage the risks, then the risks can potentially become opportunity, or it can also be said that it is a positive risk. On the other hand, if the risks lead to losses and the company cannot manage properly, this is a negative risk that needs to be managed by the company. In a shipping industry, there is an internationally recognized safety management system, namely the ISM Code, where the code regulates aspects of safety management in ships. With the implementation of an optimal safety management system, shipping company can basically apply the ISM Code instrument as a risk management effort, particularly in operational risk. Shipping company need to understand that they are obliged to create a safe work environment for their employees.

Previous research found the use of post-linguistic features (emotionality, complexity, and informality) affect social media communicators success in persuading and attracting audiences. This study aims to explore the differences in linguistic styles used in persuasive communication adopted by capital market social media influencers. Using 5.710 instagram posts from a sample of five influencers and 4.149 instagram posts from a sample of five securities companies, we applied a text mining method to identify linguistic features used by the influencers and compare the characteristics of linguistic features used by individual influencers and institutional influencers. The results suggest that individual influencers adopt more persuasive linguistic model than institution influencers. This study contributes to the literature pertaining to social media influence strategy, particularly in describing the linguistic features used by social media influencers (individual and institutional influencers).

This concept works with a stable monetary unit, it does not recognize changes such as the effects of inflation. All transactions that occur are recorded based on historical values ​​or values ​​obtained during transactions and bring the dilemma of relevance to the company's financial statements. For investors and stock traders, additional reports such as General Price Level Accounting are needed to determine their resilience in the face of unpredictable competition and monetary. This concept states that the true value of the Rupiah (IDR) is determined by the goods or services commonly known as purchasing power. During inflation or deflation, the quantity of goods/services can be obtained by changing the nominal value of money constantly, which means that the purchasing power of the rupiah changes. With this additional report, the purpose of the accounting report can be fulfilled, as a competent reference for making the right decisions.
