Authors: Cajamarca-Zuniga David , Kabantsev Oleg Vasil'evich , Campos Daniel
Published: October 2023

In Ecuador, about 95.9% of dwellings are built with masonry, however the local production of bricks does not meet technical standards and there is no scientific research on its geometric characterization and the technical state of their production. The geometric characterization of bricks is essential for the standardization of materials and constructions and allows the design of structures with a higher degree of accuracy. This research, conducted in 12 provinces of the 3 continental regions of the country, where 79% of the buildings are concentrated, studies for the first time the geometric characteristics of solid clay bricks in Ecuador. The results show that 67% of the brick production in Ecuador is artisanal and 98% of the factories do not comply with the technical standards for brick production. The authors present the characteristic dimensions of solid bricks produced in different regions of Ecuador. The results show a high variation in brick dimensions depending on the region, and even in a same province the dimensions depend on the factory, since its production does not comply with any standard. Ecuadorian standards regulating brick geometry need to be updated taking into account the real characteristics of the national brick production.
The role of the board of directors in the value creation process and performance of family businesses
Authors: Napoli Francesco
Published: October 2023

An important feature of family firms is that the controlling shareholders normally aim to maintain their investment in the long term. The theme of performance stability might be of great importance for a family firm’s survival over time. We hypothesize that family firm owner-managers are likely to choose as board members those outsiders who are able to help the firm overcome problems of performance stability over time. We then test the hypotheses through empirical analysis. Our findings suggest that the number of independents on the board of a family firm has no impact on performance stability. Instead, we find that interlocking directors can provide a significant contribution to the achieving of lower performance variability.

Published: October 2023

This study set a research model to analyze the relationship between entrepreneurship, strengths and opportunities, and business performance of technology-based venture companies in the 4th Industrial Revolution, and verified the mediating effect of strengths and opportunity factors. A sample of 363 4th Industrial Revolution technology-based venture companies in a total of 8 industries was targeted. For the analyses, confirmative factor analysis, correlation analysis, and mediation analysis were conducted using SPSS/Amos(25.0) and Process macro model(6). The results of hypothesis testing in this study can be summarized as follows. First, looking at the results of hypothesis testing among variables for the research model, entrepreneurship had a positive significant effect on strengths, opportunities, and performance. And strength had a significant effect on performance, but opportunity had no statistical significance on performance. Second, looking at the results of the verification of the mediating effect of strengths and opportunities in the relationship between entrepreneurship and business performance, strengths have a positive mediating effect, but opportunities do not have a statistically significant mediating effect. The implications of this study are as follows. First, the dynamic capabilities required to maintain competitiveness according to the speed of technological and market changes, the characteristics of technology-based venture companies of the 4th Industrial Revolution, can affect the ability to respond to opportunity factors. However, it does not lead to business performance. Second, the results of this study are in line with previous studies that entrepreneurship affects performance.

Authors:   Academy of Entrepreneurship, Lee Chaeeun , Park Yejin , Yun Wonjoo
Published: October 2023

This study empirically investigates the impact of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on firm performance and the moderating effect of perceived corporate venturing. By employing the SUR (Seemingly Unrelated Regression) model, this research simultaneously analyzes the relationships between various types of firm performance, including the perceived entrepreneurial performance and the actual financial performance. The 2022 Entrepreneurship Survey data by the Korean Entrepreneurship Foundation was used to analyze 3,119 companies. The results show a positive relationship between EO and various firm performance measures. In addition, the authors find that organization’s perception on corporate venturing positively moderates the relationship between EO and firm performance. Sub-sample analyses further investigate potential variations in results based on company type (e.g., large-sized, medium-sized, small-sized firms) and industry growth stage (e.g., introduction phase, growth phase, maturity & decline phase). The findings of this study can be useful to guide managers in making informed decisions and implementing entrepreneurial strategies.

Authors:   Academy of Entrepreneurship, Lim Yisook
Published: October 2023

By using data from the Korea Entrepreneurship Foundation's 2022 Entrepreneurship Survey, this study examines the effect of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intentions by focusing on the gender differences. The results show that entrepreneurship education has a significant positive effect on entrepreneurial intention. When analyzing the moderating effect of gender, there is no significant difference between men and women in the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. When analyzing only the female sample, entrepreneurship education has a significant positive effect on women's entrepreneurial intentions, and the moderating effects of network and entrepreneurial experience are significant in the relationship between entrepreneurship education and women's entrepreneurial intentions. In the case of men, the main effect of entrepreneurship education was significant, but the moderating effects of network and entrepreneurial experience were not significant. These results suggest that women's entrepreneurship education needs to be diversified. Implications for policy makers were discussed, and areas for future research outlined.

Authors: Jobe Mark E. , Flesher Dale L.
Published: October 2023

From the onset of World War II, America needed men of integrity, ability, and proven leadership to facilitate the wartime economy—the nation turned to CPAs for help. In 1941, the president of the American Institute of Accountants, N. Loyall McLaren, stepped away from his accounting firm and from his Institute presidency to serve in the U.S. Navy where he handled a variety of accounting-related duties. McLaren was a pioneer California CPA, serving as a partner in the largest firm in the Golden State, and had served as president of the California Society of CPAs. He later was a powerful business leader in the San Francisco area; his firm eventually merged with Haskins & Sells. This is the story of Commander (later Rear Admiral; also Army Brigadier General) McLaren and his service to the nation and the profession during World War II and thereafter.
The Effects of Message Quotes on Tax Compliance
Authors: Foy Joseph , Sampath Vijay , DiGabriele James A. , Abbu Haroon
Published: October 2023

This paper examines the effects of regulatory focus and regulatory fit theories on taxpayer compliance when taxpayers are exposed to predetermined quotes by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or other tax authority officials. A promotion-oriented regulatory focus is concerned with advancement, growth, and accomplishment, whereas a prevention-oriented regulatory focus is concerned with protection, safety, and responsibility. Using an experimental approach, we find that promotion-oriented (prevention-oriented) individuals are more likely (less likely) than prevention-oriented (promotion-oriented) individuals to self-report income for tax purposes. We also find that (1) promotion-oriented (prevention-oriented) individuals are less (more) likely to self-report income when presented with prevention-focused and neutral quotes as compared to messages with no quotes, and (2) promotion-oriented individuals who read promotion-focused quotes are more likely to self-report income than those reading prevention-focused message quotes. The results suggest theoretical and practical implications for tax compliance.

Current policies and gaps in programs for Persons with Disability in India: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Ojha Prerna
Published: October 2023

This exploratory study examines the current policies and identifies gaps in programs for persons with disabilities (PWDs) in India. While India has made progress in implementing the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and launching various programs and initiatives, there is still a long way to go to ensure full inclusion and access for PWDs in all aspects of society. The study investigates the policies and programs implemented by different ministries, including the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Rural Development, and Ministry of Railways. The study highlights the fragmented nature of policies and programs, lacking comprehensive coordination and resulting in duplication of efforts and limited coverage. Implementation challenges, such as inadequate funding, lack of awareness, and limited accountability mechanisms, hamper the impact of these initiatives. The study also identifies the need for policies and programs to address the diversity and intersectionality of disabilities, taking into account factors such as gender, age, location, and type of disability. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of capacity-building for PWDs and their organizations to participate in decision-making processes and advocate for their rights. It highlights the need to involve PWDs in policymaking and program design to ensure their perspectives and needs are adequately represented. The lack of reliable data on PWDs in India is another significant challenge, hindering evidence-based policymaking and program design. The study calls for improved data collection and management to better understand the challenges faced by PWDs and design effective interventions. In conclusion, while progress has been made, there are still significant gaps in policies and programs for PWDs in India. The study suggests the importance of creating an accessible environment, promoting equal engagement in mainstream society, and celebrating human diversity to empower PWDs. It also calls for improved coordination, increased funding, and greater inclusion of PWDs in decision-making processes to address the existing gaps and ensure equal access and opportunities for all.
Analysis of Cameroonian Veterinary Health Legislation for the Control of Priority Zoonoses in Relation to the Oie Guidelines with Regard to the One Health Approach
Authors: Njayou Ngapagna Arouna
Published: October 2023

According to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), 60% of human pathogens are of animal origin and 75% of these agents are responsible for emerging diseases that can contaminate humans. The objective of this study in Cameroon was to analyse the compliance of Cameroonian veterinary health legislation for the control of priority zoonosis (PNPLZER) with OIE guidelines and to assess the level of knowledge of zoonosis by animal health professionals. The methodology adopted consisted on the one hand in comparing the regulatory texts concerning the control of zoonosis in Cameroon with the OIE guidelines. In addition, a cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted among 65 animal health stakeholders in the cities of Yaoundé, Douala and Bafoussam. The results of the study show that some recommendations of the OIE guidelines, particularly in the detection, response and prevention of zoonotic diseases, are not taken into account in Cameroonian legislation. The cross-sectional survey found that among the priority zoonotic diseases, 35% of animal health professionals are affected by rabies, 27% by bovine tuberculosis, 18% by avian influenza and 7% by anthrax and 6% by Ebola haemorrhagic fever disease. Also, 63% of these animal health actors do not report registered cases of zoonosis, which can be a brake in the fight against zoonosis. In view of these results, the revision of Cameroonian laws and regulations by the authorities on the control of zoonosis is necessary as well as the awareness/training of the general public on this subject, as zoonosis remain a major public health problem in our country.
Seroepidemiological Survey of Lumpy Skin Disease among Cattle in El Gezira State (Central Sudan)
Authors: O Hussien Mohammed
Published: October 2023

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an infectious viral disease that affects cattle, buffalos and selected wild animals. A cross-sectional study was conducted in El Gezira State, Central Sudan to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors of LSD in cattle in seven localities. A total of 197 serum samples were collected randomly from apparently healthy cattle during the period between April – May, 2021 and tested serologically with a commercial ELISA kit. The overall true seroprevalence of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) was 24.6% (50/198). Univariate analysis showed that there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in seropositivity to LSD between age groups, sex as well as breed. Multivariate analysis revealed that only two independent risk factors (age and breed) were statistically significant (p < 0.05). It is apparent from the present study that LSDV infection is quite prevalent among cattle in El Gezira State, Central Sudan. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first seroepidemiological study of LSDV infection in Central Sudan. The authors recommend that the concerned authorities expend more efforts to control this economically important disease in Sudan.

Authors: Mueller Tanja , Proud Euan , Kurdi Amanj , Jarvis Lynne , Reid Kat , McTaggart Stuart , Bennie Marion
Published: October 2023

IntroductionTo support both electronic prescribing and documentation of medicines administration in secondary care, hospitals in Scotland are currently implementing the Hospital Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (HEPMA) software. Driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, agreements have been put in place to centrally collate data stemming from the operational HEPMA system. The aim was to develop a national data resource based on records created in secondary care, in line with pre-existing collections of data from primary care.
MethodsHEPMA is a live clinical system and updated on a continuous basis. Data is automatically extracted from local systems at least weekly and, in most cases, on a nightly basis, and integrated into the national HEPMA dataset. Subsequently, the data are subject to quality checks including data consistency and completeness. Records contain a unique patient identified (Community Health Index number), enabling linkage to other routinely collected data including primary care prescriptions, hospital admission episodes, and death records.
ResultsThe HEPMA data resource captures and compiles information on all medicines prescribed within the ward/hospital covered by the system; this includes medicine name, formulation, strength, dose, route, and frequency of administration, and dates and times of prescribing. In addition, the HEPMA dataset also captures information on medicines administration, including dates and time of administration. Data is available from January 2019 onwards and held by Public Health Scotland.
ConclusionThe national HEPMA data resource supports cross-sectional/point-prevalence studies including drug utilisation studies, and also offers scope to conduct longitudinal studies, e.g., cohort and case-control studies. With the possibility to link to other relevant datasets, additional areas of interest may include health policy evaluations and health economics studies. Access to data is subject to approval; researchers need to contact the electronic Data Research and Innovation Service (eDRIS) in the first instance.

Undang-Undang No. 30 Tahun 2014 Tentang Administrasi Pemerintahan mengatur perubahan yuridiksi mengadili perbuatan melawan hukum pemerintah (onrechtmatige overheidsdaad/OOD). Dahulu, tindakan faktual (feitelijk handelingen) yang disamakan dengan Perbuatan Melawan Hukum oleh Penguasa (OOD) tidak dapat digugat kepada PTUN selaku peradilan administrasi. Kewenangan mengadili untuk perbuatan pemerintah ini berada di Pengadilan Negeri dengan asumsi bahwa perbuatan tersebut adalah perbuatan melawan hukum layaknya PMH pada umumnya namun dilakukan oleh Penguasa, sehingga dikenal dengan sebutan Perbuatan Melawan Hukum oleh Pemerintah. Faktanya sampai penelitian ini dibuat, perubahan yuridiksi tersebut tidak mudah dilaksanakan, Peradilan Umum masih banyak memeriksa dan menyelesaikan perkara PMH, sekalipun perubahan yuridiksi tersebut telah ditegaskan dengan Peraturan Mahkamah Agung No. 2 Tahun 2019. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif yaitu penelitian dengan mengacu pada aspek-aspek yuridis. Metode penelitian dilakukan melalui studi kepustakaan, atas berbagai literatur yang terkait dengan teori-teori dan putusan-putusan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat inkonsistensi terhadap penanganan perkara tindakan faktual/OOD yang seharusnya kewenangan PTUN namun tetap diperiksa di Pengadilan Negeri.

Problematizando saberes de conteúdo matemático do ensino numa perspectiva política
Authors: Silva Fabio Menezes da , Silva Wellerson Quintaneiro da
Published: October 2023

Considerando que o saber de conteúdo do professor que ensina matemática se estabelece politicamente a partir de sua episteme e numa não neutralidade na atividade de ensino, analisamos discussões de conteúdo matemático, observando professores discutindo suas práticas. Para tanto, realizamos uma apropriação sobre a ideia de “matemática problematizada”, tendo como centralidade a discussão epistêmica sobre o próprio conteúdo matemático per se, o conteúdo matemático como finalidade de ensino e seus efeitos. Apontamos caminhos sobre a possibilidade de discutir politicamente o ensino de matemática a partir do tensionamento sobre a naturalização de ideias matemáticas prontas e pré-definidas, na consideração de seus processos de produção, inferindo sobre possíveis efeitos sociais. A partir dessa discussão teórica, analisamos dados produzidos pela imersão do primeiro autor desse artigo no ambiente escolar de professoras que ensinam matemática no ensino fundamental I. Nossas análises indicam que processos de “desnaturalização” de abordagens, com discussões perpassando a natureza dos conteúdos matemáticos a serem ensinados e problematizando os contextos sociais dos sujeitos, podem se revelar como potências no desenvolvimento profissional docente, porque se articulam com aspectos que indicam: transformar a própria prática docente; reafirmar que para ensinar matemática há saberes específicos; o respeito às questões e produções locais; tensionamentos de concepções sobre modus de produção matemática; e possibilitar a reflexão sobre a própria maneira de viver no mundo.
Modelagem matemática no ensino de números racionais: Uma aplicação prática utilizando dados sobre Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos
Authors: Cunha Everton Carvalhaes , Oliveira Deumara Galdino de
Published: October 2023

O panorama educacional brasileiro tem se mostrado cada vez menos eficiente, uma vez que permanece em um modelo tradicional fabril. Uma metodologia que tende a quebrar este paradigma é a modelagem no ensino de matemática. Esta metodologia de ensino consiste em utilizar situações reais, ou mais próximas da realidade, para ensinar conceitos matemáticos e, partindo disso, gerar o debate sobre o conteúdo. Um possível objeto para se utilizar nessa metodologia são os Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos, popularmente conhecido como lixo. O lixo está presente na vida de todos os cidadãos, independentemente de sua classe social e cultural. Com isso, juntando a metodologia de modelagem matemática com os dados do lixo, podem-se desenvolver  diversos modelos de aulas. O professor precisa ter o conhecimento sobre a modelagem em sala de aula e, além disso, precisa ser consciente quanto ao papel e a responsabilidade do cidadão na sociedade quanto ao tratamento do lixo. A proposta apresentada neste texto é a utilização da modelagem matemática no ensino de números racionais utilizando dados sobre os resíduos sólidos urbanos. Realizando uma atividade em uma turma de sétimo ano do ensino fundamental da instituição de ensino Colégio Betel, em Queimados/RJ, este artigo apresenta possibilidades de como trabalhar com esses dados e aborda um exemplo prático. A atividade, além de contribuir para identificar as dificuldades dos alunos sobre o conteúdo de números racionais, contribuiu para conscientização e reflexão sobre o tema além de consequências inerentes, como saúde pública, problemas sociais, econômicos e ambientais.

Authors: Anugrah Rinasa Agistya
Published: October 2023

They are using a passenger ship prototype as an experiment in control systems. Ship prototype control system with remote control. For this reason, research was carried out on the workings of ship prototypes, maneuver speed, long distance to the ship, and battery capacity expiration time. For this reason, research was carried out on how the prototype ship worked, the maneuvering speed, the remote reach distance to the boat, and the time the battery capacity would run out. The research was conducted using a rope, stopwatch, arc ruler, and test object. Using this tool, the results of the ship's speed when maneuvering at a predetermined angle, the maximum range of remote distance to the boat, and the length of time the battery capacity will run out. The research results tested on the remote control (RC) prototype ship showed the highest maneuvering speed at an angle of 90 degrees, which is 0.407 m/s, and the lowest rate at an angle of 180 degrees, 0.376 m/s. With this, it can be concluded that the smaller the angle of maneuver, the faster the speed of the ship to maneuver, and the greater the grade of the scheme, the slower the rate. Furthermore, the farther the remote control operating distance is from the battery speed, the faster the battery capacity will run out, and the closer the ship's rotational variation distance, the more the battery capacity will run out.

Published: October 2023

A survey of children in the small Pacific Island state of Samoa was undertaken through focus groups and drawings. This primary study of children of different ages demonstrated that children were aware of local environmental changes including those triggered by climate change. The majority of Samoan children of both genders were aware of the multiple dimensions of climate change affecting Samoa, namely rising temperatures, heavier rainfall, stronger winds, cyclones, and how these affected to varying degrees different parts of Samoa. Sea level rise was perceived to be a feature of future, rather than, current climate change. Gender variations reflected domestic activities of children, while village location influenced observations and perceptions of change. Their knowledge was informed by their experiences of recent events triggered by climate change and tectonic activities, attending school, as well as by listening to various media sources such as television and radio, and to family members. Younger children, aged 6-9 years, had a basic understanding of climate change. Older children, aged 10-15 years, were able to conceptualize future changes, and exhibited a degree of forward thinking that suggested potential resilience in the face of change.

Published: October 2023

The present anthology refers to events that, strictly speaking, belong to the development of architecture. These events are relevant because industrial design comes to Mexico thanks to the work of architects who, in the process of shaping modernity, explore other fields close to architecture such as furniture design. Likewise, references to graphic design are mentioned both because some of the people who developed this field -based on graphic arts- were part of working groups close to the development of a certain visual identity. The continuous interrelation between architecture, industrial design and graphic design is gestated in the period that covers the present chronology and since then these fields influence each other, both in teaching and in professional practice.

Authors: Rehman Seema , Ullah Saif , Azim Fahad , Khan Haroon Ur Rasheed
Published: October 2023

Urbanization plays a crucial role in facilitating the integration of population growth, industrial development, economic expansion, and energy consumption. In this paper, we aim to examine the relationships between CO2 emissions and various factors including economic growth, urbanization, financial development, and energy consumption within Pakistan’s building sector. The study utilizes annual data spanning from 1990 to 2020. To analyze the cointegration relationship between these variables, we employ the quantile autoregressive distributed lag error correction model (QARDL-ECM). The findings of this research provide evidence supporting the presence of an asymmetric and nonlinear long-term relationship between the variables under investigation. Based on these results, we suggest the implementation of tariffs on nonrenewable energy sources and the formulation of policies that promote sustainable energy practices. By doing so, policymakers and architects can effectively contribute to minimising environmental damage. Overall, this study offers valuable insights that can assist policymakers and architects in making informed decisions to mitigate environmental harm while fostering sustainable development.

Cocoa black-pod disease caused by Phytophthora palmivora (Butler) is one of the important cocoa diseases. Yield losses caused by this disease can reach 90%. Several methods for controlling this disease are to be developed, including using biological agents, i.e. Trichoderma harzianum. Several studies have shown that T. harzianum can suppress P. palmivora. In our previous studies, T. harzianum OC12 had been identified as indigenous fungi from organic coffee farms. However, these isolates have not been tested against P. palmivora. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of T. harzianum OC12 in suppressing the growth of P. palmivora in vitro. The testing method carried out begins with the re-cultured of the collection isolates. T. harzianum OC12 was in vitro confronted with P. palmivora on PDA agar plate. According to the test results, T. harzianum OC12 had the highest inhibition (84.1%) and an average suppression (79.5%) that was rated as strong category. The ability of T. harzianum OC12 to successfully inhibit P. palmivora makes it a candidate for development as a biological agent or bio-fungicide

Nurseries are important and play a major role in the development of upstream to downstream industries in oil palm plantations. One of the supporting factors affecting the productivity of oil palm plantations is the use of superior seeds. So far, there are still many oil palm nurseries that pay little attention to the type of soil used. The use of organic matter can be used to improve soil quality in terms of physical, chemical and biological properties as a place for growing oil palm seeds. Organic materials can increase the number of bacteria in the soil so that their use is more effective than just providing inorganic fertilizers.

Cucumber fruit is a fruit that has various benefits in everyday life, including food, medicine, and cosmetics. Cucumber cultivation is still not good enough so that it cannot meet domestic market demand. This study aims to determine the effect of the interaction between spacing treatment and doses of NPK fertilizer on the production and quality of cucumber seeds. This study used a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD). The first factor was the treatment of spacing with 3 treatment levels and the second factor was the application of NPK fertilizer with 3 treatment levels. Each treatment was repeated 3 times, so there were 27 experimental units. The results of this study are based on the results of the analysis and discussion of the treatment spacing of 40 cm x 60 cm which has a very significant effect on the diameter of the fruit having an average of 7.18 cm, the length of the fruit having an average of 27.24 cm, and the weight of 100 grains having an average an average of 2.29 grams. NPK fertilizer dose treatment of 250 kg/Ha had a very significant effect on the fruit diameter had an average of 7.18 cm, fruit length had an average of

27.24 cm, flowering age had an average of 24.33 HST, number of seeds per fruit has an average of

315.47 grains, seed weight per fruit has an average of 7.37 grams, weight of 100 seeds has an average of 2.29 grams and seed weight per hectare has an average of 159.26 kilograms. The treatment interaction with a spacing of 40 cm x 60 cm and a dose of NPK fertilizer of 250 kg/ha gave the best value for fruit weight, namely 737.87 grams. Furthermore, the observation parameters that show significant or very significant differences are further tested using the DMRT test with a level of 5%.

Orchid plants are one of good prospects commodities for the floriculture business because they have high aesthetic value. Cattleya orchid has distinctive characteristics with large, beautiful, brightly colored and fragrant flowers. In vitro propagation is one way to meet the increasing demand for orchids. In vitro culture techniques require a lot of culture media to multiply plants in large quantities, so an alternative is needed to increase the effectiveness of using media such as the addition of plant growth regulators. Therefore, research was carried out on the growth of in vitro cattleya orchids on MS media with NAA and BAP substitutions. This study aimed to determine the effect of adding NAA and BAP to MS media on the growth of in vitro cattleya orchid explants. This research was conducted from June to September 2022 at the Jember State Polytechnic Tissue Culture Laboratory. This study used completely randomized design factorial. The first factor was the NAA concentration consisted of 3 levels, namely 0, 1 and 2 ppm. The second factor was the BAP concentration consisted of 3 levels, namely 0, 2 and 4 ppm. Observational variables included plant height, the number of shoots, leaves and roots. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% level. Giving NAA 2 ppm + BAP 2 ppm was the best treatment for the number of leaves while giving NAA 2 ppm resulted in the best root growth.

Indonesia’s coffee production in 2021 will reach 774,6 thousand tons. The volume increased by 2,75% compared to the previous year of 753,9 thousand tons. Coffee production is directly proportional to litter production. Litter includes organic matter produced by plants and will return to the coffee soil. Litter plays an important role in the coffee plantation ecosystem because it is related to suppression of soil erosion and nutrient cycling. The existence of abundant litter if managed optimally is able to improve the physical properties of the soil and the litter can be used as compost by decomposition. The aim of the study was to examine the productivity of coffee plant litter. Litter productivity on coffee plants was measured using the litter trap method. The fallen litter was collected using litter traps measuring 1m x 1m as many as 24 pieces which were placed at the study site under stands of coffee plants with a trap height of 50 cm from the ground. The environmental parameters used are temperature, humidity, and wind speed. The results showed that the highest litter productivity occurred in the 3rd week of 18.07 g/m2/week in October 2022-January 2023, which coincided with the rainy season.

Seedlings are a challenge for True Shallot Seeds (TSS). Prior to sowing, farmers frequently apply water, warm water, pesticides, or growth regulators. Previcur-N is a fungicide used by farmers. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of Previcur-N on True Shallot Seed (TSS) in the lab. With two factors and four replications, the experiment was conducted using a randomized block design. The first factor is soaking period (1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours), and the second factor is Previcur-N doze (0 ml/L, 0.5 ml/L, 1 ml/ L, 1.5 ml/L) with control (non-soaking treatment). Hypocotyl length, germination speed, seedling growth rate, germination percentage, abnormal seedling percentage, and dead seed percentage were all observed. The results indicate that, most Previcur-N treatments lowered hypocotyl length, germination speed, and germination percentage, exceptionally the  1 ml/L for 1 hour treatment. Nevertheless, the Soaking water treatment for 2 hours can increase the germination of TSS seeds

Abstrak

Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR) di Balai Besar Kesehatan Paru Masyarakat Makassar dalam 3 tahun terakhir  mengalami penurunan pada tahun 2018 64%, tahun 2019 62% dan tahun 2020 52%. BOR merupakan salah satu indikator pelayanan kesehatan yang dapat dipakai untuk mengetahui tinggi rendahnya mutu, tingkat pemanfaatan fasilitas dan efesiensi pelayanan kesehatan. Dampak penurunan BOR menimbulkan penurunan pendapatan ekonomi bagi pihak Rumah Sakit. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis faktor penyebab rendahnya BOR di Balai Besar Kesehatan Paru Masyarakat Makassar dengan (sumber daya manusia), (sarana dan prasarana), (kedisiplinan pemberi pelayan kesehatan) dan (upaya perbaikan masalah). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, dengan maksud menggali lebih dalam faktor penyebab rendahnya  BOR dengan menggunakan teknik wawancara, observasi, dokumentasi dan brainstorming yang melibatkan 3 informan meliputi HRD, kepala bidang sarana dan prasarana dan kepala bidang keperawatan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa faktor penyebab rendahnya BOR yaitu kurangnya jumlah sumber daya manusia perawat, fasilitas sarana dan prasaran belum memadai, kedisiplinan pemberi pelayan kesehatan belum konsisten. Adapun upaya solusi yaitu sumber daya manusia perlu ditambah fasilitas sarana dan prasarana segera ditingkatkan dan melengkapi fasilitas sarana dan prasarana yang belum tersedia.
