DETERMINATION OF THREATS AND RISKS IN CONDITIONS OF COMBAT OPER-ATIONS BY USING GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS AND TIME ANALYSIS
Authors: Savkov P.A. , Pampukha I.V. , Tsyba M.M. , Akimov R.Yu.
Published: December 2020

The article proposes ways of identifying threats and risks during combat operations through the comprehensive application of geospatial analysis and time analysis. The most important criteria of the events under which the analysis is conducted to identify patterns in combat operations by a possible enemy are identified. Features of geospatial and time analysis of threats and risks are considered and its results are implemented in the geographical information software product ArcGIS Pro. As a result of the study, a method is proposed to systematize events occurring during combat operations and use this data in geospatial and time analysis to predict possible enemy behavior, which will allow the commander to attack before the opposing party can strike again at friendly forces at the location area. Geospatial and time analysis in the Model Builder geographical information application is aimed at identifying patterns in enemy attacks and includes: downloading statistics, converting the time field and creating a timeline, building multiple buffers, identifying with attribute sampling. Geoprocessing models help automate and document spatial analysis and data management processes. The model is presented in the form of a table diagram showing the sequence of processes and geoprocessing tools, the model uses sequential or parallel execution, as well as their possible combination. Criteria for detecting patterns include the local and global time of the attack, phase of the month, coordinates of attack in the Military Grid Reference System, type of attack, type of weapon. The starting materials for the analysis are information obtained from the United States Army's Worldwide Equipment Guide, 2010. The starting materials were systematized and distributed separately into branches of analysis. According to the results of the geospatial and time analysis, patterns and characteristics of enemy attacks were revealed. In this way, unit commanders receive credible information that they can use to identify potential threats and risks from the enemy and to plan their operations.
¿Es saludable una dieta vegana? Un dilema para desarrollar el pensamiento crítico a través de la argumentación y la toma de decisiones en la formación inicial de maestros
Authors: Hierrezuelo Osorio José Manuel , Brero Peinado Vito Battista , Franco Mariscal Antonio Joaquín
Published: December 2020

El desarrollo del pensamiento crítico en la formación inicial del profesorado se considera un tema relevante en los últimos años en la enseñanza de las ciencias. Este trabajo explora cómo se puede abordar en la enseñanza universitaria utilizando el dilema como estrategia didáctica para potenciar habilidades argumentativas y de toma de decisiones. Se presentan los resultados de un dilema sobre la dieta vegana implementado con 111 estudiantes de los Grados en Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria de la Universidad de xxx, que debían tomar una decisión sobre si esta dieta es o no saludable, antes y después de facilitársele información escrita sobre el tema tanto a favor como en contra. Los estudiantes de ambos grados consideran que la dieta vegana no es saludable, aumentando esta postura después de conocer información, y siendo poco reacios a cambiarla tras su decisión inicial. Asimismo, se comprueba la influencia en la decisión adoptada de la última información recibida, siendo ésta más notable cuando está en contra del dilema planteado.
As crianças e a guerra, pela voz de um pedagogo da Escola Nova em Portugal
Authors: Boto Carlota
Published: December 2020

António de Sena Faria de Vasconcelos (1880-1939) é um pedagogo português e proeminente educador representante da Escola Nova em Portugal. Destacou-se no desenvolvimento do pensamento pedagógico contemporâneo, a partir da sua atuação na Universidade Nova de Bruxelas e com a criação de uma escola em Bierges-Les-Wavre — experiência que ficou eternizada especialmente em Uma escola nova na Bélgica, publicado em 1915. Depois do início da Primeira Guerra, o autor se dirigirá a Genebra, passando a integrar a equipe que compunha na época o Instituto Jean-Jacques Rousseau. O artigo aqui apresentado versa sobre uma conferência proferida na Suíça em abril de 1915, depois da publicação de Uma escola nova na Bélgica. O objetivo do trabalho é valorizar a correlação entre a situação da infância e a realidade da guerra, desvelando em simultâneo a compreensão da concepção de criança que norteava o pensamento de Faria de Vasconcelos. A metodologia para a abordagem do tema consiste numa análise do texto Les enfants et la guerre, em diálogo com o pensamento psicopedagógico vigente na época. O desenvolvimento do conteúdo do artigo incidirá na verificação da relação das crianças com a guerra que, segundo Faria de Vasconcelos, era de pavor e de fascínio. Parte-se da originalidade da referida publicação para se pensar as questões da infância, bem como para problematizar o conceito de guerra. Como reflexões finais, constata-se a coerência entre os princípios da Escola Nova e essa abordagem inaudita acerca do vínculo entre as crianças e a guerra.
Jornais escolares: arautos de ensinamentos patrióticos e pacifistas (Santa Catarina/Brasil/1940-1960)
Authors: Santos Cunha Maria Teresa , Bereta da Silva Cristiani
Published: December 2020

Esse artigo analisa dois jornais escolares produzidos por estudantes do primário, que circularam entre as décadas de 1940 e 1960. Para a discussão proposta estabeleceu-se um recorte temporal diferente, selecionando-se apenas os números publicados entre os anos de 1942 a 1952, em razão da periodicidade dos exemplares disponíveis nos arquivos. Nesses números o olhar dirigiu-se para textos e notas sobre vultos nacionais, datas comemorativas e outros temas do cotidiano escolar voltados para a construção de valores cívicos e patrióticos, associados, por vezes, ao pacifismo, em razão da participação do Brasil na Segunda Guerra. Essas questões apareciam principalmente por meio das ações empreendidas pelas associações auxiliares da escola, como, por exemplo, a Liga Pró-Língua Nacional, a Liga da Bondade e o Pelotão de Saúde. Práticas nacionalistas de forte apelo cívico e patriótico eram as mais privilegiadas em diferentes textos assinados pelos estudantes. Esses jornais, integrados a cultura material escolar, são capazes de informar vestígios de práticas, costumes e rituais que reforçavam uma dada cultura escolar, conformando memórias sobre o período.

The Application of Mind Map in High School English Reading
Authors: Zhang Ying
Published: December 2020

Mind maps were initially used to help students with learning difficulty overcome learning obstacles, which were then widely used in the education industry. It is a learning method that Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard students must master. Meanwhile, as a world-class thinking training tool, it is highly recommended and used by the world’s top 500 corporate executives and has also been introduced into more than 500 subject experimental schools across the country as a “knowledge building strategy based on systematic thinking”. If this method is applied to high school English reading classes, it will definitely make reading more efficient, students’ sporadic thinking can be more exercised, and teachers’ teaching tasks will be reduced to a certain extent. This article compares the traditional English reading teaching method with the mind mapping teaching method, which more clearly reflects the superiority of mind mapping in subject teaching.

System for Automated Infrared Image Processing Based on Neural Network Technologies
Authors: S. Kananadze Sergey
Published: December 2020

The article describes the main problems that non-destructive control experts encounter in processing and analyzing infrared (IR) images obtained using thermographic cameras: noisiness, information redundancy, excessive data volume, etc. A gradual process of automated digital processing and analysis of images on the basis of a software system is considered, which allows not only overcoming the drawbacks of the raw data described above, but also drawing a conclusion about the state of the object based on the obtained image independently. The ability to make expert decision is provided by a neural network component in a system on the basis of Kohonen network used for cluster image analysis. There are the examples of system operation applied to IR images of the lining of solid domestic waste (SDW) incinerator. The use of such systems allows reducing workload of an expert in processing large volumes of data and reducing the probability of errors due to such effect as vision "blurring".

Authors: Knapčíková Lucia , Behúnová Annamária
Published: December 2020

In general, epoxy resins are known for their excellent adhesion, chemical and thermal resistance, unique mechanical properties and excellent electrical insulators. The various fibres are incorporated into epoxy resin matrix materials. With the prepared samples, the fibre tests are passed. The results of the investigation are also taken into account due to the strength of the connection between the fibre and the matrix. The aim of our research is the preparation and subsequent testing of epoxy-based composite materials during their manufacturing operations, specifically by casting technology. The properties of fibre-reinforced composites depend significantly on the choice of fibre and matrix, and how they are combined, the fibre-matrix ratio, the fibre length, its orientation, the thickness of the composite and the presence of a bonding agent to improve fibrematrix bonding.

Experiências teórico-práticas
Authors: Fals Borda Orlando
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo é uma intervenção do sociólogo colombiano Orlando Fals Borda publicada na coletânea Participación popular: retos del futuro (ICFES, IEPRI, Colciencias, 1998). A coletânea é uma reunião de textos de intelectuais e pesquisadores que participaram do Congresso Mundial de Convergencia Participativa en Conocimiento, Espacio y Tiempo, ocorrido em 1997 em Cartagena de Indias (Colômbia). Na ocasião, além de Fals Borda, participaram nomes como Immanuel Wallerstein, Agnes Heller, Manfred Max-Neef, Paulo Freire e Fernando Henrique Cardoso. A retomada da proposta sociológica de Fals Borda em nossa coletânea é oportuna, na medida em que a reflexão sobre educação popular na América Latina implica também uma perspectiva de intervenção (expressa pela proposta da pesquisa-ação participativa de Fals Borda) junto às profundas assimetrias do continente, considerando perspectivas de mudança social que sintetizam os eixos para políticas de desenvolvimento socioeconômico e a participação política. Além disso, o presente texto oferece aportes metodológicos sugestivos para as diversas modalidades de pesquisa-ação participativa caras à educação popular.Palavras-chave: Mudança social; Educação popular; Participação; Democracia. ABSTRACT: This article is an intervention carried out by Colombian sociologist Orlando Fals Borda and was published in the volume Participación popular: retos del futuro (ICFES, IEPRI, Colciencias, 1998). The volume collects many papers from intellectuals and researchers who participated at the World Congress of Participative Convergence in Knowledge, Space and Time, which took place in 1997 in Cartagena de Indias (Colombia). Besides Fals Borda, the seminar counted on people like Immanuel Wallerstein, Agnes Heller, Manfred Max-Neef, Paulo Freire and Fernando Henrique Cardoso. The presence of the sociological approach of Fals Borda in our issue is timely, since the reflection on popular education in Latin America entails a perspective for intervention (expressed in the Fals Borda’s participative action-research) in relation to the social asymmetries of our continent. The article synthesizes a view on prospects for social change and also discusses the main axes for a set of policy of socioeconomic development and political participation. The contribution also offers a comprehensive methodological tool for the many modes of participative action-research that are useful for popular education.Keywords: Social change; Popular education; Participation; Democracy.

Authors: ZORLU Çağrı , KARAYAKALI Metin , KARAMAN Kayihan , ARISOY Arif , ÇELİK Ataç
Published: December 2020

Aim: Non-dipper hypertension (NDHT) is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Lots of different electrocardiographic parameters can be used for this purpose. Some electrocardiographic repolarization parameters and some particular parameters obtained from 24 hours holter recordings frequently were used. The aim of this study was to evaluate ventricular arrhythmia risk by using most of this electrocardiographic parameters in patients with dipper hypertension (DHT) and NDHT.Material and methods: 220 patients with hypertension were included this study. Patients were divided into two groups as DHT and NDHT according to the 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Two groups were compared with electrocardiography and echocardiography parameters and also were compared with heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT) parameters.Results: There were no significant differences between DHT and NDHT groups with regard to demographic and laboratory datas. Also echocardiography parameters normally distributed and have no significant differences between two groups. There were no significant differences between DHT and NDHT groups with regard to left ventricular mass index (p=0.280). Although QT, QT dispersion, HRV and HRT parameters differences were not statistically significant , results were in favour of DHT in terms of ventricular arrhythmia risk. Conclusion: When hypertensive patients having no statistically significant differences in terms of left ventricular diamaters and left ventricular mass between them were divided as DHT and NDHT; there were no statistically significant differences between two groups with regard to electrocardiographic ventricular arrhythmia parameters although results were in favour of DHT.

Published: December 2020

Aim: The aim of this descriptive study is to determine the frequency of thyroid cancer (TC) and evaluate the changing rates of histopathological types, age and sex distribution of thyroid tumours in our region.

Material and Methods: A total of 4917 patients who underwent thyroidectomy for different indications between May 2010 and May 2019 were included in this retrospective study. Patients’ age, sex, selected surgical method and postoperative final pathology results were recorded. All data were evaluated using statistical analyses.

Results: Of the 4917 patients, 922 were male (18.8%) and 3995 were female (81.2%). The mean age was 48.3 ± 12.3 (17-84) years. Among all cases 27.1% (1335) of them were malignant and 2.6 % (125) of them were well-differentiated tumours of uncertain malignant potential. The 1335 cases diagnosed with a malignant thyroid tumour had a mean age of 44.7±11.6 years and a female-to-male ratio of 4,3. Of these, 94.9% of them had papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), 1.72% had follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), 2.32% had medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), and 0.45% had anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. Of the cases with PTC, 62.66% of them had microcarcinoma.

Conclusion: Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) frequency increases especially in the younger and female population in our region, FTC frequency decreases significantly and MTC is the second most common type of TCs after papillary cancers. In all TCs, the 59.47% PTMC share (mostly detected incidentally, 83.7%) appears to be the result of pathologists examining more tissue blocks and histological sampling over time.

Understanding the career trajectories of Black female academics in South Africa
Authors: Ramnund-Mansingh Aradhana
Published: December 2020

This study seeks to explore the career trajectories of Black South African female academics at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal. Their lived experiences continue to include the political vicissitudes of race and gender. Global scholarship on the challenges experienced by Black women in academia is palpable; the South African landscape is distinctive, resultant from the complex intersections of apartheid and the 2004 higher education transformation process. Fourteen in-depth interviews were conducted with Black female academics from five different campuses at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, inviting them to recount their lived experiences as academics. Notable themes that emerged when examining race and gender included: the ‘old boys’ network’, the leadership paradox of feminised leadership versus the ‘queen bee’, as well as the impact of stress. The theoretical framework that underpins this paper is social constructivism with a specific focus on intersectional theory. Intersectional theory will give context to race and gender identity in the experience of the academics. The intersectional experiences are documented by the South African government as legislation[1] addresses disparities that existed during apartheid; nonetheless these intersectional experiences of disadvantage are perpetuated. The dimensions of race and gender play a critical role in academia, while transformational legislation is responsible for facilitating gendered targets. These findings seek to provide a tool of support for Black women, as they continue to be exposed to innumerable challenges including perfunctory appointments, remuneration incongruence, and inconsistencies in the apportionment of research funding.

Learning to learn: Children's language and literacy development in a marginalised community in Port Elizabeth
Authors: Armstrong Meredith , Boughey Chrissie
Published: December 2020

This article draws on a long term ethnographic study which explored the way the home based practices experienced by children in a marginalised community in a large South African city, Port Elizabeth, prepared them for, and supported them in, schooling.  The study was informed by the field known as ‘New Literacy Studies’ and which draws extensively on the likes of Heath (1983) and Street (1984).  It acknowledges that individuals have the power to exercise agency in the context of structural and cultural constraints but shows how, in this particular community, poverty and geography and the educational backgrounds of caregivers impacted on their best efforts to contribute to their children’s development.
“Restorative school discipline: The law and practice”
Authors: Beckmann J
Published: December 2020

When I received this book for review, I immediately realised it was a book of monumental proportions dealing with a comparatively new and previously much-neglected field of study and knowledge in South Africa. I also realised that doing justice to a review of a book of these proportions and such importance was going to be a massive challenge and was going to require a great deal of intensive critical reading and was going to consume a mammoth amount of time.
Propuesta de ciclovía para mejorar la eficiencia de la conexión entre las estaciones del Metro y Metropolitano de la avenida Angamos en Lima
Authors:   ,   Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC), Assereto Gómez Jesús Orlando , Melgar Alvarado Martin Eduardo
Published: December 2020

El crecimiento económico y social que afronta el país en la actualidad ha traído como resultado un gran incremento de la demanda de viajes en las zonas urbanas de Lima Metropolitana; esto se ve reflejado en el incesante aumento de transporte privado y público, lo que da a lugar a la congestión vehicular, diversos accidentes de tránsito y elevados niveles contaminación ambiental y sonora. El flujo vehicular ha aumentado, no solo en avenidas principales, sino también calles secundarias, por vehículos particulares y de transporte público debido a que el parque automovilístico en el Perú ha aumentado en estos últimos años. Llegando a alcanzar hasta Julio del año 2018 un aumento del 5.5% anual, así lo indica el informe técnico N°09 de la INEI y el MTC. Es por esta razón que es necesaria la implementación de otras alternativas para el transporte privado y que sirva como apoyo al transporte público. La importancia de establecer una solución al importante tráfico que se vive en las calles diariamente ha concluido en la utilización de la bicicleta como medio de transporte cotidiano. En los últimos años, ciudades como Bogotá, en Colombia y Santiago en Chile han logrado que la bicicleta pase ser un modo de transporte recreativo a ser también un modo de transporte urbano cotidiano y eficiente. Sin embargo, Lima ha mantenido el porcentaje de personas que usa la bicicleta, ya sea de manera recreativa o laboral, en un 0.5% de la población, según el FONAM. Asimismo, los 150 km de ciclovía establecidas hasta la actualidad presentan falta de funcionalidad, planificación y deficiencia en el diseño geométrico de la interconectividad entre estas. Por lo tanto, en la presente tesis se analizará la aceptación de una ciclovía que conecte las estaciones de la Av. Angamos de dos medios de transporte masivo como lo son el Metro y el Metropolitano de Lima y se propondrá una ruta que cumpla con las bases de tiempo, infraestructura y accesibilidad de manera que cumpla eficientemente las necesidades de los usuarios de llegar a tiempo.
Modeling petrographic structures
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg Mining University, Voytekhovsky Yu. L. , Zakharova A. A. ,   Geological Institute FRC KSC RAS
Published: December 2020

The article describes a technique for 2D modeling of structures and textures of bimineral rocks in terms of the probabilities of binary intergranular contacts. It is shown that typical petrographic structures (disseminated, chained, poikilitic, porphyric) and textures (massive, banded, schlieren) regularly fill the barycentric diagram (pii, pjj, pij) of contact probabilities. These structures and textures are correlated with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The problems of modeling polymineral petrographic structures and textures are discussed. A new type of structural diagrams is suggested. The article is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Sci. Yu. A. Tkachev — a well-known Russian specialist in the field of modeling the structures of sedimentary rocks.

Authors: HORTU İsmet , ALGÜL Feride , DURMAZ Büşra , AKDEMİR Ali , ŞAHİN Çağdaş , ERGENOĞLU Ahmet Mete , AKERCAN Fuat
Published: December 2020

Aim: To compare the perioperative outcomes between patients who underwent myomectomy during cesarean section and those without myomectomy during cesarean section retrospectively.

Materials and Methods: In our study, a total of 187 patients, including 125 patients who underwent myomectomy (case) during cesarean section and 62 patients who had not undergone myomectomy (control) during cesarean section, were included in our clinic between February 2015- October 2019. Basic demographic characteristics of the patients, gestational week at the time of operation, the mean number of myoma and size, locations of myoma, mean differences between hemoglobin and hematocrit levels postoperatively, mean operation time, need for erythrocyte transfusion, and mean hospitalization time were retrospectively evaluated.

Results: The mean diameter of the myoma in the control group is significantly higher than that of the myomectomy group (5.75 ± 3.71 cm and 4.73 ± 3.76 cm, respectively; p:0.0057). The mean operation time was 82.81 ± 28.69 min. and 70.08 ± 17.89 min. in the myomectomy and control groups, respectively (p: 0.003). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the other parameters (Mean Hb, Htc differences postoperatively, mean hospitalization time, etc.).

Conclusion: Our results support that myomectomy performed during the cesarean section does not increase perioperative morbidity and may be useful when it is performed by experienced surgeons. In addition, myomectomy during cesarean section can decrease the need for secondary surgery due to the myoma.

Authors: SOMAY Efsun , YILMAZ Büşra
Published: December 2020

Amaç: Menopoz dönemi, kadınlarda genel etkilerinin yanı sıra ağız ve çevre dokularda bazı değişiklere neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, menopozun oral bölgedeki yıkıcı etkilerinin belirlenmesi ve en aza indirilmesi için postmenopozal dönemdeki bireyler ile sağlıklı bireyler karşılaştırılıp, tıp ve diş hekimlerinin gerekli önlemleri alarak hastaların hayat kalitesinin arttırılması amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çeşitli dental şikayetler ile 2019-2020 yılları arasında diş kliniğine başvurmuş 30 yaşından büyük, 60’ı postmenopozal dönemde (postmenopoz grubu) ve 60’ı menstrual siklusu devam eden (kontrol grubu) toplam 120 kadın hastaya ait klinik muayene kayıtları ve panoramik filmler incelenerek sosyodemografik ve dental bulgular kaydedilmiştir.

Bulgular: Menopoz varlığı ile eksik diş sayısı ve lezyonlu diş sayısı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulundu. Postmenopoz grubunda bifosfonat kullanan hasta oranı düşüktü ve bu grupta kontrol grubuna göre çürük diş sayısı, alveolar kemik kaybı daha yüksek oranda belirlendi.

Sonuç: Postmenopoz grubunda oral hijyen alışkanlıklarının yetersiz olduğu ve dental problemlerin daha fazla olduğu gözlendi. Bu durumun önlenmesi için tıp ve diş hekimlerinin senkronize çalışmasına ve kadın ağız sağlığı hakkında daha fazla klinik araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Aim: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common but neglected pathology of the cardiovascular system with high diagnosis and treatment costs and negative effects on patients' quality of life. Endocan is a dermatan sulfate proteoglycan and secreted by activated vascular endothelium. We hypothesized that higher Endocan levels may be associated with the pathophysiology of CVI. Thus, in the current study, we aimed to assess the relationship between serum Endocan levels and CVI.

Materials and Methods: Forty-four patients with CVI and 50 age- and gender- matched subjects were enrolled into the study. The baseline clinical characteristics of the patients were obtained and serum Endocan levels were calculated.

Results: The mean Endocan level and mean triglyceride (TG) level were significantly higher in the CVI (+) group compared to the CVI (-) group (p

Defects in the PROP-1 gene produce clinical findings by affecting somatotrophs, thyrotrophs, lactotrophs, gonadotrophs and corticotrophs. The first finding in cases with PROP-1 gene mutation is growth retardation associated with growth hormone (GH) deficiency and central hypothyroidism. Other hormone deficiencies are added over time. We describe two sisters with deletion mutation in the PROP-1 gene. The parents were first-degree cousins. The female patient identified as the index case was 4.6 and the other sister was 1.9 years old when they presented with failure to thrive and short stature. Central hypothyroidism and GH deficiency was determined in both sisters. Homozygous deletion mutation was determined in the PROP-1 gene at genetic analysis. PROP-1 mutation should be considered in patients presenting with combined GH deficiency and central hypothyroidism, and the diagnosis must be confirmed with genetic analysis.
Zones of Agency: Understanding Online Faculty Experiences of Presence
Authors: Samuel Anita
Published: December 2020

As instructors are forced to move their courses online, they are confronted by a sense of isolation and distance from their learners. Research has shown that feelings of loneliness are mitigated when presence is created in the online environment. An interpretive phenomenological analysis was conducted at a public university in the United States to answer the question: What are the determinants of presence for instructors in online teaching? Twenty-five online instructors from various disciplines, with diverse levels of experience teaching online, were recruited for the study. Interviews, analysis of course syllabi, and observations of course sites revealed five determinants of presence for online instructors: content, format, strategies, technology, and students. The crucial factor in deciding an instructor’s experience of presence was the degree of agency instructors had over these determinants. This paper introduces the Zones of Agency for Online Instructors model and describes how the model can be used to enhance instructors’ experiences of presence.

The rice root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola (Golden & Birchfield), is a nematode first described in 1965 from grasses and oats in Louisiana (US), and currently spread in rice crops in Asia, parts of the Americas and Africa. It can be detected in a wide range of more than 98 host plant species. In 2016 M. graminicola was detected for the first time in some rice fields of Northern Italy. In this paper, two greenhouse experiments (the first at 21-22 °C and the second one at 26-28 °C) are reported and discussed, in which three species containing bioactive compounds, Lepidium campestre (L.) R. Br., Eruca sativa Mill. cv. Nemat, and Crotalaria juncea L., were compared with Cucumis sativus L., a good host of M. graminicola, as control. Seedlings of each plant species were transplanted in pots containing mean 50 J2s 100 cm−3 soil. Three assessments were carried out about 30, 60, 90 days after transplantation, on both soil and roots. Temperature influenced M. graminicola life cycle, which was never completed at 21-22 °C; conversely, at 26-28 °C, both E. sativa and C. juncea reached a reproduction rate (R) = 0.01, confirming to be poor hosts, effective in decreasing the nematode infestation on the roots and in the soil, while L. campestre (R = 4.01) demonstrated to be a good host of M. graminicola more than the control C. sativus (R = 2.12), increasing considerably the nematode population after about 90 days.

Public sector organizations, namely governments, are described as “non-productive and inefficient organization”. This negative image of public sector organizations has arisen as a consequence of low public sector organization performance. Public sector performance improvement can be done by manipulating motivational dimensions of public service employee. This research aims to empirically test effect of public service motivation and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) on organizational performance in the public sector of Indonesia. In addition, this study also focuses on individual factor of motivation, such as job satisfaction and organizational commitment. This paper employed 108 respondents that were sampled using convenient sampling. The result showed that there were positive significant influences of public service motivation and job satisfaction on organizational performance. Unfortunately, this study failed to give a proof that OCB influences organizational performance. Moreover, this study showed that there is differences level of motivational between men and women. On average, women have job satisfaction and public service motivation higher than men. This implies that women more satisfy at work than men, and women more likely to value intrinsic reward than men
