Attempt to increase soybean production while maintaining soil health can be done by utilizing biofertilizers. However, the application of biological fertilizers on Inceptisols which tend to be acidic often go to meet the problems in its effectiveness. So it is necessary to maintain the effectiveness of inoculants through the selection of appropriate carrier materials. The experiment aimed to determine the effect of the application of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) in carrier materials from agricultural waste (molasses, coconut water, and bran) to increase BPF viability, growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max L.) on Inceptisols in Jatinangor. The experimental design used was a randomized block design (RBD) consisting of a control treatment (without BPF inoculant), BPF without organic matter; BPF combined with three types of organic matter (each: molasses, coconut water, and rice bran and their mixtures). Experimental results showed that coconut water and rice bran could potentially maintain the viability of the BPF population. Coconut water could significantly increase the number and weight of seeds per soybean plant, with an increase in yield of 41.176% and 18.823%, respectively. Coconut water is an organic substance that has the most potential as a stimulant  material compared with molasses or bran.ABSTRAK Upaya untuk meningkatkan produksi kedelai sekaligus mempertahankan kesehatan tanah dapat dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan pupuk hayati (biofertilizers). Namun aplikasi pupuk hayati pada Inceptisol yang cenderung masam sering mengalami kendala dalam efektifitasnya. Sehingga perlu upaya untuk menjaga efektifitas inokulan melalui pemilihan bahan pembawa yang tepat. Percobaan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh aplikasi Bakteri Pelarut Fosfat (BPF) dalam bahan pembawa dari limbah pertanian (molase, air kelapa, dan dedak) untuk meningkatkan viabilitas BPF, pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman kedelai (Glycine max L.)  pada Inceptisols di Jatinangor. Percobaan dilakukan di rumah kaca kebun percobaan Fakultas Pertanian Unpad. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak kelompok (RAK) yang terdiri dari perlakuan kontrol (tanpa inokulan BPF), BPF tanpa bahan organik; BPF dikombinasikan dengan tiga jenis bahan organik (masing-masing: molase, air kelapa, dedak padi,  dan campurannya). Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa air kelapa dan dedak padi berpotensi dapat mempertahankan viabilitas populasi BPF. Air kelapa dapat meningkatkan jumlah dan bobot biji per tanaman kedelai secara signifikan, dengan peningkatan hasil masing-masing sebesar 41,176% dan 18,823%. Air kelapa merupakan bahan organik yang paling potensial sebagai bahan stimulan dibandingkan molase maupun dedak.

When Quranic Learning Goes Online: The Phenomenon of Yusuf Mansur in Da'wah Marketing Facing the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Aripudin Acep
Published: July 2023

The Covid-19 (Corona viruses) pandemic has forced the system for spreading and understanding the Qur'an to be carried out online. Online media, such as e-learning, was known before the corona viruses season. One of the institutions implementing e-learning is the Darul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School, led by Yusuf Mansur. The famous preacher with the "alms flag as the gateway to riches" is phenomenal in Indonesia. This study uses the phenomenological method and the AIC (attract inform community) model, combining techniques based on social research and Information Technology (IT). This article proves that Mansur was able to build a system for disseminating the Qur’an (online and offline/face to face) combined with a business concept with floating funds and cooperatives and a tower with 285 rooms. Based on the AIC model, it can be stated that Mansur's PPPA web (Qur’an memorizing nursery program) was effective in supporting e-learning and socializing the Qur’an during the Covid-19 period. The Qur'anic e-learning approach has implications for Islamic institutions as capital for brand marketing of da'wah institutions and their development. This strategy is a solution to spreading the Qur'an in abnormal situations and experiences in the future.

Authors: Kusmiati Yopi , Pratiwi Novia Hasan
Published: July 2023

Currently there are many children who have to deal with the law, caused by cases of fights, robberies, murders. To deal with children who are affected by this case, a rehabilitation center is needed as a place for protection and education for children. Center for Social Rehabilitation of Children Requiring Special Protection “Handayani Jakarta” is a rehabilitation center that provides religious guidance as a method of rehabilitation for children involved in criminal cases. Religious Supervisors, in this case called da'i have an important role to choose the right communication in increasing children's religious awareness so they don't repeat their actions. This study aims to determine the interpersonal communication of preachers at BRSAMPK Handayani Jakarta and the interpersonal communication of preachers in increasing the religious awareness of children in conflict with the law. The theory used in this study is the theory of competence communication, while the method used is a qualitative method with a constructivist paradigm. Data collection techniques through direct observations, interviews, and document studies. The results of the study show that preachers in building interpersonal communication are by understanding children's character, fostering children's trust, providing guidance with a sense of humor, using language that is easy to understand and applying a firm attitude in guidance. In increasing ABH's religious awareness, the way of interpersonal communication used by da'i is to provide motivation, communicate persuasively, and conduct question and answer dialogue.
The Relationship of Islamic Values and Sundaneseness in Sundanese Proverbs as Da'wah Messages
Authors: Sukayat Tata
Published: July 2023

The values of da'wah messages contain the essence of Islamic teachings that must be conveyed to the object of da'wah. In the da'wah process, a preacher must understand the condition and culture of the thing of his da'wah. Culture has a close relationship with Islam. One form of culture developed in Sundanese society is proverb, which can be used as moral messages in da’wah. Because Sundanese proverb are full of noble values of the nation, which are relevant to Islamic values, this study aims to analyze da'wah messages in Sundanese proverbs and describe the relationship between Islamic and Sundanese values as da'wah messages. The research method used is descriptive analysis. The data were obtained using library research techniques through several stages: heuristics, interpretation criticism, and historiography. The results of this study indicate: First, the values of da'wah messages are found in almost all Sundanese proverbs, both in aspects of humans as individual beings and humans as social beings, as well as proverb about human spirituality. Second, the relationship between Islam and Sundanese in the context of Sundanese proverbs containing Islamic values is included in the symbiotic paradigm category, like sugar and sweetness. This research implies that the noble values in Sundanese proverbs can be practised in everyday life and used to complement da'wah material suitable for the da'i to convey according to the context.

Published: July 2023

In this work, we obtained complexes by mixing aqueous solution of palladium(II) chloride with polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyethylene glycol. The composition of the complex compounds was determined by potentiometric and conductometric titration. IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the coordination of polymeric ligand to palladium and allowed evaluating the morphology and features of the complex surface. The catalytic activity of the synthesized compounds in the oxidation of octene-1 by inorganic oxidizers (NaBrO3, K2S2O8) in aqueous-organic media in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) under mild conditions was calculated. The reaction product was octanone-2, obtained in good yield (62–98%). Quantitative analysis of octanone-2 was made by the gas-chromatographic method. Mass spectrometry confirms the formation of octanone-2. The complexes are able to participate in five consecutive catalytic cycles without significant loss of catalytic efficiency. Oxidation of octene-1 proceeds by the oxidation-reduction mechanism and consists of two key stages.

ABSTRACT Describing the biological, physical fitness and motor coordination profile and its possible associations of these variables with the performance on rhythmic gymnastics (RG) of practitioners of sports initiation. Systematic search of articles carried out from the 20th to the 23rd of July, 2022, on three databases: 1) PubMed; 2) SportDiscus and 3) Google Scholar. The search was conducted through an advanced research tool, from the constructing of descriptors and keywords related to the theme. The selection of descriptors and keywords was performed through consensus of published sources (original and of systematic review articles) and inserted in English language in each database. 10 articles were included in the descriptive summary of data. The greatest part of these studies is of female practitioners, having the data collection in its majority in the European region. The profile of beginner gymnasts was characterized by low values for BMI, BF%, high values for stature, high indexes of flexibility, explosive strength, motor coordination and balance. Flexibility, explosive strength, muscular endurance and high levels of motor coordination were the variables which most presented positive associations with the performance on RG. The values of body mass and skin folds presented a predictive negative power on the success of RG movements. The impact of different variables on the beginner gymnasts’ performance evidences the necessity of working physical and motor components in a way that it supports the objects of development of each practitioner considering the biological, physical and motor aspects.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the continuity of cognitive rehabilitation worldwide. However, the use of teleneuropsychology to provide cognitive rehabilitation has contributed significantly to the continuity of the treatment. Objectives: To measure the effects of cognitive telerehabilitation on cognition, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and memory strategies in a cohort of patients with mild cognitive impairment. Methods: A sample of 60 patients with mild cognitive impairment according to Petersen’s criteria was randomly divided into two groups: 30 treatment cases and 30 controls (waiting list group). Subjects were matched by age, sex, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The treatment group received ten cognitive telerehabilitation sessions of 45 minutes duration once a week. Pre-treatment (week 0) and post-treatment (week 10) measures were assessed for both groups. Different linear mixed models were estimated to test treatment effect (cognitive telerehabilitation vs. controls) on each outcome of interest over time (pre/post-intervention). Results: A significant group (control/treatment) x time (pre/post) interaction revealed that the treatment group at week 10 had better scores in cognitive variables: memory (RAVLT learning trials p=0.030; RAVLT delayed recall p=0.029), phonological fluency (p=0.001), activities of daily living (FAQ p=0.001), satisfaction with memory performance (MMQ satisfaction p=0.004) and use of memory strategies (MMQ strategy p=0.000), as well as, and a significant reduction of affective symptomatology: depression (GDS p=0.000), neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPI-Q p=0.045), forgetfulness (EDO-10 p=0.000), and stress (DAS stress p=0.000). Conclusions: Our study suggests that CTR is an effective intervention.

Abstract Objective to reflect on the interrelationships of transcultural care and the Epistemologies of the South of health and Nursing practices. Method this is a reflective study, based on a narrative review of the literature, highlighting the concepts of abyssal line, ecology of knowledge, and decolonization of knowledge from the framework of the Epistemologies of the South. Results after the reflective analysis of the material, three reflexive axes emerged, namely: Populations south of the abyssal line; Ecology of knowledge and interculturality; and Decolonization of knowledge in health and nursing practices: culturally congruent care. Final considerations and implications for practice the appreciation of the self-care culture of vulnerable population groups south of the abyssal line is essential to create opportunities for visibility and voice removed by the colonization process in the health field, as a result of the overvaluation of biomedical knowledge. There is a need for dialogue between knowledge to build an environment of mutual learning, characterized as the ecology of knowledge. For this, the decolonization process is needed from the perspective of post-abyssal thinking, with the appreciation of popular knowledge, in favor of culturally congruent care. Finally, in nursing, the framework of the Theory of Universality and Diversity of Cultural Care equips nurses to plan and implement sensitive transcultural care.

Authors: Alexandre Maria Amélia Vaz , Duarte Ligia Maria Lembo , Chaves Alexandre Levi Rodrigues
Published: July 2023

Abstract Ornamental plants, which were originally grown for magical or esthetic reasons, have gained industrial status in recent decades, contributing economically to the development of several countries. The presence of pathogens, especially viruses, can interfere in production by causing symptoms in leaves and flowers, thereby depreciating the product and affecting normal plant growth. Furthermore, perennial species can act as a natural reservoir for other crops. Depending on the species, viruses can be transmitted by vegetative propagation, contact, insect vectors, pollen and seeds. As such, knowledge of the genetic diversity, geographic distribution and biological properties of viruses may contribute to preventing future infections. In this review, a number of tropical species infected by viruses reported in Brazil are presented, highlighting the first occurrences of new viral species. Aspects related to virus control and management in ornamental plants are also discussed.

Abstract Dahlia is an ornamental plant well adapted to open field cultivation and is one of the crops in the “Flowers for All” Project, a nation-wide extension project. High temperatures and the duration of extreme heat waves are expected to be more frequent in the next decades. Therefore, understanding and determining the high temperature that causes irreversible damage in Dahlia flowers is of high interest for preparing farmers to mitigate and adapt their crop to climate change. The objective of this study was to determine the upper lethal temperature that causes irreversible damage on buds and flowers on open field grown dahlia. Commercial open field dahlia crops in five locations in Rio Grande do Sul (RS) State, Southern Brazil, during two growing seasons (2021/22 and 2022/23) were used in this study. During the period from 20 December 2021 to 30 January 2022 and from 14 January 2023 to 20 January 2023, daily observations were made in the dahlias in the five locations in order to identify symptoms of heat stress on leaves, buds and flowers such as leaf rolling, wilting, dry leaf edges, sunscald, burning and rotting. The appearance of those symptoms was correlated with maximum daily air temperature in order to estimate the lethal temperature. Irreversible heat injury in buds and flowers of open field grown dahlia start when air temperature reaches 35 oC. Artificial shading, irrigation and planting date are management practices that can help farmers to protect dahlia flowers from heat stress.

Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT This research aims to determine whether collaborative hypertext dictionaries (CHDs) offer warranties within the scope of the warranting theory. A fictional script based on recruitment processes was used to examine whether the comments about persons in CHDs offer warranties to recruiters. The study was conducted with a posttest-only control group design from amongst true experimental designs. The sample consisted of 359 persons, including board members of five-star accommodation establishments with recruitment privileges, deputy general managers, accounting managers, and human resources staff. The study concluded that positive or negative comments about applicants in CHDs significantly impact the recruiters’ perspective of them. Also, the research considered important resources in recruitment processes when it comes to offering warranties. The research findings provide a practical contribution by revealing the effect of applicants’ social media content on the recruiter’s choice.

Published: July 2023

There are many possibilities to improve sustainable management in the construction industry. In this context, this paper aims to analyse the influence of construction practices, organised by factor in sustainability dimensions. For this, a survey with 80 project managers from the construction industry was performed. The participants answered about the sustainable management practices used in their projects, as well as their performance in relation to indicators in the social, economic and environmental dimensions. The data were analysed through confirmatory factor analysis and logistic regression. It was possible to verify that not all of the analysed factors (as well as the practices that compose them) could be considered significant to explain all dimensions of sustainability. Another interesting finding is that the influence levels of the factors vary widely, indicating that some factors are more important than others in the pursuit of (one or more) sustainability dimensions. In addition, contrary to expectations, not all factors (and therefore not all practices) have a positive impact on the sustainability of construction projects. The resource management and pollution factor negatively influences economic sustainability. This study sought to broaden the understanding of sustainable practices in construction project management and guide future analysis and research.

Authors: DEMİR Ömer Furkan , LEVENT Fatih , HUYUT Mustafa Ahmet , ARİCAN OZLUK Ozlem
Published: July 2023

Aim: Warfarin , a vitamin K antagonist, is the only approved oral agent to provide anticoagulation in patients with metallic prosthetic valves. Since effectively initiating and maintaining anticoagulation is challenging due to various factors , those patients undergo frequent periodic INR testing. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the timing of warfarin ingestion on the stability of anticoagulation.

Materials and Methods: A total of 60 patients with metallic prosthetic valves were included in the study. First, all the patients were informed to take warfarin between 19:30 and 20:00 during the first month, then to take warfarin between 09:30 and 10:00 during the second month. All the patients underwent INR monitoring once every 15 days during the follow-up period. The time in therapeutic range (TTR) values for the first month and second month ( referred to as ‘first TTR’ and ‘second TTR’, respectively) were calculated separately using the Rosendaal method.

Results: The mean age ( ± SD) of the patients was 59.6 ± 9.6 years and 36.7% (n=22) were male. There was no significant difference between the first TTR and second TTR values of the patients (66.23 ± 40.7% vs 64.12 ± 41.13%, p=0.783). The mean INR value in the first month was found to be significantly lower than in the second month (2.73 ± 0.53 vs 3.06 ± 0.47, p=0.001).

Conclusion:.The study results showed that the timing of warfarin ingestion did not affect the stability of anticoagulation although taking the warfarin in the morning provided higher INR values.

Assessing the benefits of real-time control to enhance rainwater harvesting at a building in Cape Town, South Africa
Authors: Malesela Michael Mogano  , John Okedi
Published: July 2023

In the period 2015–2017, the City of Cape Town, South Africa, faced the possibility of taps running dry due to a prolonged drought. To mitigate the impacts of water scarcity, many households installed rainwater tanks to harvest water to use for non-potable purposes such as toilet flushing and washing. The installation of the rainwater tanks was mainly arbitrary, in response to perceived impact of water scarcity rather than a systematic needs assessment. This study was thus undertaken to determine the available opportunity to optimise the use of these rainwater tanks using real-time control (RTC) techniques. Many studies have demonstrated the potential of rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems to supplement potable water supply and minimize stormwater flows to downstream drainage networks. RTC technology can be used to enhance the performance of RWH systems in achieving these two objectives, by receiving a rainfall forecast and initiating pre-storm release in real time. In this study, RTC was applied on the RWH system at the New Engineering Building, University of Cape Town (UCT) to enhance water supply and increase rainwater retention period. The performance with RTC was compared with the conventional management of the RWH system. It was determined that RWH with RTC technology was generally superior in simultaneously achieving water supply and rainwater retention benefits compared to the conventional management approach. RTC provides an active operation which optimizes the performance of the system across varying conditions but requires an assiduous management process  designed to meet set objectives. It was concluded that the active release mechanism employing RTC exhibited great potential; the system opens up the possibility of delivering a more robust and reliable system due to its ability to provide failure detection and centralised control. The system can readily be adapted to variation of local climatic conditions in the short and long term.
The effect of the linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, sodium-dodecyl-sulfonate (SDS), on the bioaccumulation of Al, Sr and Mn by Brassica oleracea and Solanum tuberosum
Authors: Glynn K Pindihama  , Mugera W Gitari
Published: July 2023

The hyper-eutrophic conditions in impoundments used for irrigation around South Africa’s major cities promote the co-existence of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) and other pollutants such as metals. The combined effects of LAS and metals, when such water is used to irrigate crops, has not been properly investigated in light of human health risks and prevailing local conditions. To understand the potential risks, pot-culture experiments were conducted to assess the effect of the LAS, sodium-dodecyl-sulfonate (SDS), on the accumulation of aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn) and strontium (Sr) in Brassica oleracea (cabbage) and Solanum tuberosum (potato) plants. The plants were watered with dam water containing 3.48 mg‧L−1 of the LAS (sodium dodecyl sulfonate) and Mn (0.257 mg‧L−1), Al (0.6 mg‧L−1) and Sr (0.16 mg‧L−1) as determined by field surveys, for 20 days. The presence of SDS in the irrigation water at environmentally relevant concentrations did not enhance uptake of Sr, Mn, Al in the two plants, as demonstrated by statistically insignificant differences in the means of the treatments (with and without SDS). In addition, the presence of the metals, high pH, EC and presence of cyanotoxins in the water did not affect total chlorophyll and growth of the plants. These findings imply that the prevailing levels of anionic surfactants such as SDS, metals and other contaminants in the hyper-eutrophic reservoirs pose little risk to crop yields, quality of crops and human health, due to the possible accumulation of these contaminants in irrigated plants. Despite the study reporting no immediate inherent risk to the plants and human health, continuous monitoring of the contaminants in water, soil and irrigated plants is recommended since the conditions, concentrations and other factors can quickly change if the management of the catchment does not improve in the near future.
Probabilistic vs deterministic forecasts – interpreting skill statistics for the benefit of users
Authors: Willem A Landman  , Mark Tadross  , Emma Archer  , Peter Johnston
Published: July 2023

Owing to probabilistic uncertainties associated with seasonal forecasts, especially over areas such as southern Africa where forecast skill is limited, non-climatologists and users of such forecasts frequently prefer them to be presented or distributed in terms of the likelihood (expressed as a probability) of certain categories occurring or thresholds being exceeded. Probabilistic forecast verification is needed to verify such forecasts. Whilst the resulting verification statistics can provide clear insights into forecast attributes, they are often difficult to understand, which might hinder forecast uptake and use. This problem can be addressed by issuing forecasts with some understandable evidence of skill, with the purpose of reflecting how similar forecasts may have performed in the past. In this paper, we present a range of different probabilistic forecast verification scores, and determine if these statistics can be readily compared to more commonly known and understood ‘ordinary’ correlations between forecasts and their associated observations – assuming that ordinary correlations are more intuitively understood and informative to seasonal forecast users. Of the range of scores considered, the relative operating characteristics (ROC) was found to be the most intrinsically similar to correlation.
