Published: January 2024

The Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), previously recognized as Bactrocera invadens, presence in Kenya dates since 2003, the first record of this pest in Africa. Its phytosanitary importance resulted to avocado export ban to South Africa in 2008 and later to Seychelles, to prevent possible entry of this pest into these markets through fruit trade. To regain these markets and avoid more external market loss, this study was carried out to facilitate creation of a pest free area for fruit flies as required by the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) number 26. Detection survey for the pest was conducted using 110 methyl eugenol lure-based traps laced with malathion insecticide, placed throughout Kandara Sub-County, at a density of 5 traps/km2 in June 2013. The sub county has the highest concentration of small-scale farmers of avocados for export markets in Kenya. The traps were examined after 2 weeks of placement. Data on host plants was also collected. The results showed that traps captured the pest in all agroecological zones (Lower highland (LH)1, Upper midland (UM) 1, Upper midland (UM) 2 and Upper midland (UM) 3). Possible host plants observed in the farms included avocado, mango, pawpaw, guava, coffee, passion fruit, loquats, banana, citrus, and tree tomato. The pest density was highest in UM 3, which has the lowest elevation and the highest concentration of mango orchards. High trap catches recorded in market centres was associated with poor disposal of fruits. The lowest pest density was recorded at LH 1, which has the highest elevation in the sub-county. Therefore, creation of a pest free area in the Sub County will rely on effective mass trapping exercise for more than six months in order to remove all the flies, followed by protection of the area from emerging flies using strategically placed traps and various cultural practices, accompanied by strong farmer participation and stakeholder partnership to ensure integrity of exported fruit sources.

Published: January 2024

In 2014, the NPPO of Zambia, the Plant Quarantine and Phytosanitary Service (PQPS) initiated a pest risk analysis for Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), the tomato leaf miner. This was after increased reports of the pest spreading southwards in Africa and neighboring Tanzania officially reporting the pest in 2013. By 2014, the pest was reported to occur in Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, Morocco, Niger, Senegal, Sudan, Tunisia, Kenya and Tanzania. By end of 2015, farmers in some districts in Zambia reported pest damage and suspected that it could be T. absoluta. This posed a serious threat to the Zambian tomato industry as tomato is one of the most important vegetable crops in Zambia grown both on a small scale and commercial scale as a cash crop. It accounts for 86% of the total value of fresh fruit and vegetable sales within the smallholder sector for Zambia. For this reason, PQPS initiated a detection surveillance of the pest in reported areas in February 2016. The Zambia preliminary surveys revealed that the pest is present in Northern, Copperbelt, Lusaka and Central Provinces of Zambia. Identification of the pest was confirmed by observing collected adult moths for key taxonomic features; filiform antennae, brown or silverfish with black spots on the moth wings and moth size. Other factors for identification were characteristic damage on leaves and fruits, pheromone traps catches and consultation of international experts in Tanzania. Introduction of T. absoluta to Zambia has devastated the Zambian tomato production industry. A taskforce has been formed to address the threat being caused by T. absoluta. Zambia has also updated its phytosanitary import conditions for tomato since this confirmation and drafted the legislation to regulate movement of tomatoes. Notification for the first report has since been sent to the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). Key words: Tomato, Tuta absoluta, detection surveillance, Zambia
Seed certification as a means of curbing emerging diseases: A case study of Maize Lethal Necrosis (MLN) in Kenya
Authors: Shango Peter , Onyango Charles , Kariuki George
Published: January 2024

Maize lethal necrosis (MLN) is an important constraint in maize production in sub-Sahara Africa that threatens food security and poses challenge in trade. It was first reported in Kenya in 2011 and has since spread to other countries in the region. In Kenya, the disease is caused by a combination of Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV), which are vectored by aphids and thrips, respectively. Maize is the main staple food in Kenya and therefore, with the advent of the MLN, there was need to establish mechanisms aimed at combating the spread of the disease. This resulted in the amendment of seed certification protocol which included testing of seed. In consultation with seed stakeholders, KEPHIS incorporated guidelines for MLN inspection in maize seed certification program where all maize seed crops should be inspected four times including preliminary, first, second and third inspections. A seed sample was taken before seed dressing for laboratory test to ensure the lot is free from MLN. Imported seeds were also tested for MLN before being accepted into the country. Furthermore, there have been concerted efforts by breeders and researchers to develop and screen maize lines for resistance to MLN. Other strategies that have been put in place include control of vectors and use of certified seed which are free from MLN. Amendments in seed certification program that were implemented in Kenya have led to drastic reduction of MLN. It is further hoped that resistant maize lines from the breeding program will further support the effort to manage the disease.

接軌IFRS 17對保險業之影響與資產負債管理【公報釋讀】
Authors: 李照聖 李照聖
Published: January 2024

IFRS 17完整改變保險合約負債之衡量，其中IFRS17.B72(a)要求保險合約負債之折現均需採用現時利率，同時IFRS 17.88也允許個體基於資產負債管理，將利率影響數拆分至其他綜合損益。故可預期保險負債之會計處理將深受利率影響，且須基於資產負債管理進行會計處理。接軌IFRS 17後，IFRS 17.C29也要求個體重新指定金融資產分類，可知IFRS 17之適用不僅影響負債端也影響資產端。本文將就接軌IFRS 17對資產與負債之影響進行討論，並延伸討論避險會計適用之可能性。

Published: January 2024

This study aims to describe the profile of primary students' self-reliance in West Java Indonesia. This initial study is needed in order to provide a portrait of the primary student self-reliance, especially students’ independent living skills. This will be very useful for each student to be ready to face their future life. A survey is used to get the data needed. There were 366 teachers represented from 20 counties and 10 cities in West Java. They teach 92,1% at public schools 7,9% at private schools. By using Winstep for Windows and reliability 0,96 by the Rasch Model, the Mean Person Measure value of 0.27 logit shows the tendency of respondents who answer more to agree with statements. The tendency for student self-reliance is in the moderate category, which means students are able to 1) identify, explore, and analyze problems, 2) take the initiative to be self-reliant, and 3) be relied on by others. Therefore, the recommendation is to develop a micro curriculum model to support students’ self-reliance on finishing tasks or solving problems in independent living skills besides supporting those three self-reliance competence aspects at the primary school level in West Java

Published: January 2024

This study was conducted to determine the description of learning with the peer tutor method implemented through situation-based learning. The urgency of this study is to find out the problem posing ability of elementary school students as an intellectual skill that students must possess to support future competition. From the existing problems, students are accustomed to receiving knowledge without posing the problems they find. The peer tutor method through SBL facilitates students in problem-posing ability, problem-solving, and independent learning. The peer tutor method makes it easier for teachers to provide structured guidance to facilitate students through discussions. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method involving fourth-grade students, in which the data were obtained using observation, interview, and documentation guidelines. The obtained data were reduced to be able to conclude. This study found that learning through the peer tutor method involves active student roles, facilitates students to construct their knowledge in a guided manner, creates meaningfulness in students in posing problems, leads to follow-up questions, and responses to the problems posed.

Authors: Zulfianto Muhammad Rais , Abduh Muhammad
Published: January 2024

Misconceptions are understandings of concepts that are not in accordance with scientific concepts. Teachers have the potential to experience misconceptions and misconceptions that occur in teachers can result in students also experiencing misconceptions. Research that examines science misconceptions in elementary school teachers is still rare, so there is a need for research examining science misconceptions in elementary school teachers, especially in elementary school teachers who are certified educators. Therefore, this study aims at determining whether science misconceptions occur in elementary school teachers with teaching certificates or not and how much misconceptions are experienced and the misconceptions occurred. This study employs descriptive quantitative by involving 17 certified elementary school teachers who are classroom teachers teaching several subjects in elementary schools including science subjects. Data collection was done by conducting a four tier misconception diagnosis test and the result was analyzed using by referring to four tier test concept developed by various researchers. The findings indicated that primary school teachers possessing teaching certificates exhibited science misconceptions at a rate of 22%, placing them in the low category of scientific understanding at 66%. Despite the relatively low occurrence of misconceptions, it is advisable for certified primary school teachers to further enhance their grasp of the concepts they impart to prevent any potential hindrance to the learning process.

Published: January 2024

Driven by a commitment to address challenges associated with the Merdeka Curriculum's implementation in Indonesia, this paper explores reflections and experiences of Indonesian educators. The researchers' anxiety, stemming from the need for effective application, underscores the study's motivation to enhance the educational experience for educators and students alike. Conducted through qualitative questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with fifteen participants, the research focuses on three reflective dimensions (in, on, and for) employing an exploratory case study design. In reflection-in-action, educators emphasize a shift towards student-centered learning, promoting active involvement, critical thinking, and self-directed learning. Reflection-on-action reveals educators perceiving the curriculum as highly interactive, but they acknowledged the need for patience and time in implementing significant changes, considering varying levels of receptivity among teaching staff. Reflection-for-action demonstrates educators actively evaluating the Merdeka Curriculum, employing strategies like fostering relationships and leveraging social media for knowledge sharing. Overall, the study highlighted the potential of the Merdeka Curriculum to enhance the overall quality of schools and contribute to the academic success of Indonesian students. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, curriculum developers, and educational practitioners seeking to refine the implementation process and enhance professional development programs. Ultimately, this research contributes to the ongoing efforts to empower educators and students and improve the effectiveness of education in Indonesia.

Authors: Özmenteş Reşit
Published: January 2024

SnO2 (Stannic oxide) thin films were prepared by atomizing stannic chloride (SnCl4) solution onto microscope slide substrate at 400°C substrate temperature with a simple spray coating device. The samples were examined optically, structurally, morphologically, and compositionally by UV-Vis, XRD, SEM and EDS spectroscopic techniques. Optical analysis showed that the synthesized films had 70–88% transmittance in the visible region and the band gap energy (Eg) value was 3.89 eV. Based on absorbance and transmittance measurements, the wavelength-dependent refractive index distribution of the film was found and its thickness was calculated as 239 nm by the Swanepoel method. XRD studies determined that the films are amorphous structure. FE-SEM micrographs revealed that granular structure with a size of 884 nm, and a film thickness around 287.1-341.8 nm while the EDX analysis indicated the non-stoichiometric structure of the deposited thin films.

Published: January 2024

Background. The unfavorable demographic situation in Ukraine is due to the spread of diseases of civilization (obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension, metabolically associated fatty liver disease) and requires early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and improvement of ways to prevent these diseases especially in childhood. About 15 million people die from non-communicable diseases every year. The mortality rate caused by the diseases of civilization is increased in a certain category of people who are included in the group of "high risk" regarding metabolic disorders. The aim of the study: to identify the contribution of comorbid conditions (impaired fasting glycemia/car-bohydrate tolerance, dyslipidemia, metabolically-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), arterial hypertension) to the development of meta-bolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) in children. Materials and methods. 210 obese children aged 6-18 years were examined. The main group (n = 128) were children with MUO according to the criteria of IDEFICS 2014. The control group (n = 82) were children with metabolically healthy obesity (metabolically healthy obesity — MHO). All children underwent a general clinical, immunobiochemical examination with electroche-miluminescence detection, enzymatic colorimetric method in the certified laboratory "Synevo" (Dnipro, Ukraine), sonographic and bioimped-ance examination. Static analysis included variational analysis with calculation of Student’s test (t); sequential Wald analysis with calculation of relative risk (RR); Spearman’s correlation analysis by calculating the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (ρ). The critical value of the level of statistical significance (p) for all types of analysis was accepted at the level of p < 0.05 (5 %). Results: In patients with MUO, violations of tolerance to carbohydrates are registered in 26.7 %, dyslipidemia — in 53.3 %, metabolic-associated fatty liver disease — in 66.6 %, arteri-al hypertension — in 46.6 % of cases. Whereas among patients with MHO, metabolic-associated fatty liver disease is diagnosed in 10 % and dyslipidemia in 5 % of cases. The relative risk of developing MUO is most associated with basal hyperinsulinemia (9,33); sonographic criteria of heterogeneity of liver tissue according to Saverymuttu (6.33); extreme obesity (6); ALT/AST ratio ≥ 1 (3.56); sonographic criteria of hep-atomegaly (3.33); an increase in diastolic (3.07) and systolic blood pressure (2.27) and a decrease in high-density lipoproteins. Conclusions: The metabolic-associated fatty liver disease is the most frequent comorbid condition found in various phenotypes of obesity in children.Keywords: metabolically unhealthy obesity, metabolically healthy obesity, impaired carbohydrate tolerance, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolically associated fatty liver disease.

Սրճարանների երևան գալը նոր մշակույթ ու մոտեցումներ ներմուծեց քաղաքային միջավայր։ Դրանք հնարավորություն ընձեռեցին տարածելու ազատության գաղափարներ՝ դառնալով նաև անձի ինքնադրսևորման և կայացման միջոց։ Ալեքսանդրապոլի և Երևանի սրճարանները XIX-XX դդ. ծառայել են ոչ միայն որպես հավաքատեղի, այլև եղել են աշուղների ստեղծագործությունները վայելելու կենտրոններ, որտեղ ամեն մի սրճարան ունեցել է իր աշուղը կամ աշուղական խմբերը։ Դրանք ազգային կրթության ու դաստիարակության օջախներ էին, ինչպես նաև հեղինակավոր անձանց, գրողների ու դերասանների հավաքատեղի, հասարակական-քաղաքական գործիչների հանդիպման վայրեր:
Культура кофеен изменила облик городской среды. В XIX – XX веках в больших и малых городах Армении (Александрополь, Ереван) они являлись не только местоми встреч. В каждом кафе были свои ашуги или ашугские группы. Кофейни были своеобразными центрами национального образования, воспитания. В числе посетителей были известные писатели, артисты, национальные деятели.
The appearance of cafes brought new culture and approaches to the urban environment. They provided an opportunity to spread ideas of freedom, becoming the means for individual expression. In the 19th and 20th centuries, cafes in Yerevan and Alexandropol acted as gathering places as well as spaces for enjoying the performances of the troupes; each cafe had a troupe (ashough) or troupe groups (ashougs' groups) of its own. They became centers of national education, meeting places for writers, actors and authoritative figures. They also became hidden places for political activity.

Армянские версии и сказания эпоса «Кёроглы» были записаны еще в начале XX в. В 1930-х гг. была предпринята попытка создания армянского сводного текста. До 1941 г. десятки рассказов были записаны на западноармянских и восточноармянских диалектах. Согласно недавно обнаруженному архивному документу, письменный фольклорный материал был подвергнут научному изучению на академическом уровне, в частности, были выявлены связанные с идеологическим влиянием времени ряд недостатков, по устранению которых высказал критические замечания видный ученый Акоп Арутюнян. Известный деятель науки и культуры того времени Акоп Арутюнян сделал свои замечания с целью их исправления. В целом обсуждаемые материалы и недавно выявленный документ содержат ценную информацию также с этнографофольклорной точки зрения.
The recording of the Armenian versions and stories of the "Koroglu" epic was started at the beginning of the 20th century and in 1930’s attempts were made to create an Armenian assembled version. Until 1941 dozens of stories were written in Western Armenian and Eastern Armenian dialects. According to a recently discovered archival document, recorded folklore materials were subjected to scientific study at the academic level, in particular, some defects caused by ideological influence of time were identified. A prominent figure in science and culture of that time, Hakob Harutyunyan, made his remarks in order to correct these problems. At the same time, the discussed materials and the newly discovered document contain valuable information from the ethnographic and folklore point of view.

Typically, practical laboratory activities employ teaching media such as phantoms or props. Due to the increased demand for borrowing and utilization of laboratory equipment, as well as the presence of nursing laboratory standards, the Educational Laboratory Staff (PLP) is compelled to devise innovative solutions to address the shortage of instruments. One such solution is the Basic Life Support (BHD) phantom. The study aimed to create a straightforward Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) model for Basic Life Support (BHD) training, utilizing manikin displays and indicator lights. The tool fabrication process began with rudimentary materials yet yielded comparable advantages to commercially available tools, enhancing the efficacy of practical tasks in laboratory experiments, research endeavors, and community outreach initiatives. The research employed the Research and Development Study approach and was conducted in the D3 Nursing Study Program laboratory at Poltekkes Kemenkes Tanjungpinang. The research process consisted of three distinct stages: tool design and assembly, trial phase, and tool acceptance or feasibility testing. The findings of this study demonstrated that the straightforward BHD phantom was deemed practical and suitable as an instructional tool in BHD training, specifically for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).   Future researchers must advance the development of this straightforward BHD phantom learning media to enhance the current prototype.

Diabetes merupakan penyakit kronis serius yang terjadi ketika pankreas tidak menghasilkan cukup insulin (hormon yang mengatur gula darah atau glukosa) atau ketika tubuh tidak dapat menggunakan insulin yang diproduksi secara efektif. Tiga komplikasi akut utama diabetes mellitus yang terkait dengan ketidakseimbangan glukosa jangka pendek adalah hipoglikemia, ketoasidosis diabetik (DKA), dan sindrom nonketotik hiperglikemik hiperosmolar. Hipoglikemia adalah kumpulan gejala klinis yang disebabkan oleh gula darah rendah. Hipoglikemia secara serius mempengaruhi morbiditas, mortalitas dan kualitas hidup. Menurut Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), hipoglikemia berat dan koma tiga kali lebih sering terjadi pada pasien yang dirawat intensif dibandingkan pasien yang dirawat secara konvensional. Diperkirakan 2-4% kematian pada diabetes tipe 1 terkait dengan hipoglikemia. Hipoglikemia juga umum terjadi pada diabetes tipe 2, dengan prevalensi 70-80%. Hipoglikemia merupakan salah satu hambatan untuk mencapai keseimbangan gula yang optimal pada pasien diabetes. Berdasarkan hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa kesadaran keluarga pasien DM tentang pengobatan hipoglikemia melalui metode edukasi sudah meningkat. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan peningkatan pengetahuan baik sekitar 2,38% pada saat pretest pasca pelatihan, saat pengetahuan baik berubah sebesar 25,57%.
