Framing negative eWOM via conjunctions: The language of customer communication in the luxury hotel sector on social media
Authors: Wan Yau Ni
Published: June 2024

In the digital age, social media has a significant impact on consumer perceptions. This business communication study examines the linguistic strategies used to express and repair negative electronic word of mouth (eWOM) in Hong Kong’s luxury hotel sector. The data, which were collected from travel forums, consist of 17,344 words from online hotel reviews (11,647 words) and responses (5,697 words) made by the visitors and senior hotel management of 18 five-star hotels. Using systemic functional linguistics as a framework, this study analyses the logical relations that exist between expectant and concessive conjunctions, as well as the evaluative judgment resources present in an appraisal system. The analysis focuses on the poor service standards framed in the complaints and how the hotel management responds to such situations differently, particularly with respect to repairing customer expectations. This study also examines how loyal fans and frequent travellers present their customer identity when dealing with service-related issues. By developing an understanding of how luxury hotels manage customer complaints, repair customer relationships, and protect their brand reputation through dynamic interactions, this study can provide valuable communication insights for the hotel sector.
Hikikomori and Sōshokukei-danshi: A semantic analysis of Japan’s social deviants
Authors: McFarlane Natasha
Published: June 2024

This study is a semantic analysis that examines the meanings of two contemporary Japanese labels, hikikomori and soushokukei-danshi. This duo has often been linked to the late marriage age, declining marriage rate, shoushika (low birth rate), and koureika (the aging society). The goal of this thesis is to define these individuals according to the perceptions of native Japanese speakers and to convey the definitions by using the reductive paraphrase methodology. Accordingly, cultural values reflected in the labels will be revealed. The Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach and corpus analysis are the chosen methodology. NSM is a universal mini metalanguage, while corpus analysis is a tool that can analyse data from online sources. Combined, these methods support the goal of delivering explications that reflect the labels from a Japanese perspective. Results from the study show that the values of Japanese society and the duos are at odds with one another, subsequently, fuelling the negative stigma directed towards both cohorts: Hikikomori are individuals who are emotionally withdrawn and bound to the house for the most part. Furthermore, their condition is something they feel they cannot change so easily; and Soushokukei-danshi are young men who are uninterested in romance or attaining stereotypical male positions in the workforce. Moreover, they would rather invest time in their hobbies. Through this study, a better comprehension of what these words mean is acquired.

PT Indomarco Adi Prima Stock Point Deket Lamongan is one of the business units of PT Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk, which distributes consumer products. The company has 300 outlets in grocery stores and modern stores with a distribution target of 30 outlets for each salesman in a day. However, in its implementation, the target is only sometimes achieved. Other problems, such as product delivery errors and delivery delays, occur frequently. This research aims to analyze the company's productivity level using the Objective Matrix (OMAX) method. Productivity measurement also involves the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method in determining the weight of each ratio. Based on the calculation of productivity during the measurement period from January 2022 to December 2022 using Objective Matrix (OMAX), the results obtained are productivity index values that decreased during the measurement period, namely February (-4,75%), March (-3.90%), May (-17.48%), June (-11.92%), July (-31.28%), and October (-7.04%). Then, based on the results of productivity indicator analysis, it is known which ratio indicator has the lowest value and causes the productivity index to fall, namely ratio 1, ratio 2, ratio 5, ratio 6, and ratio 7. The decrease in productivity index based on Root Cause Analysis (RCA) using fishbone diagram tools due to no heat reducer, no computer and truck maintenance schedule, less communication between employees, travel time estimation is not good, attendance system updates are not carried out, limited warehouse area, high work intensity, no instructions for the preparation of goods in the warehouse area, stock goods arrive late, rainy season, road repairs, no periodic checks, and unpredictable road conditions.

Authors:   , Rocha Larissa Campos
Published: June 2024

Introdução: O suporte intensivo ofertado aos pacientes críticos internados na unidade de terapia intensiva, os expõe a diversos fatores de risco que podem corroborar para modificações neuromusculares denominada de fraqueza muscular adquirida na UTI. Sabe-se que o uso prolongado de ventilação mecânica invasiva, medicamentos como os bloqueadores neuromusculares, corticosteroides, drogas vasoativas e sedativos, além do imobilismo são os principais motivos para o desenvolvimento desta fraqueza muscular periférica e diafragmática. Com isso tornasse fundamental o papel da Fisioterapia Hospitalar com a mobilização precoce, seguindo prescrições individualizadas de acordo com a criticidade de cada paciente. Porém, pacientes profundamente sedados, pouco ou nada colaborativos, podem se beneficiar da mobilização precoce com o uso da estimulação elétrica neuromuscular, devido a sua capacidade de gerar contrações musculares involuntárias com o intuito de modular a massa muscular desses pacientes. Objetivo: analisar a eficácia e os efeitos da eletroestimulação neuromuscular na mudança da arquitetura muscular de pacientes críticos submetidos a sedoanalgesia como tratamento da FAUTI. Método: revisão sistemática de ensaios clínicos, com critério de elegibilidade a estimulação elétrica neuromuscular (EENM) em pacientes críticos com uso de sedoanalgesia, utilizando as plataformas de buscas PUBMED, PEDRO e COCHRANE. Conclusão: é definido que a eletroestimulação neuromuscular no tratamento da FAUTI em pacientes críticos sob sedoanalgesia, demonstrou uma ação protetora na atrofia muscular, um impacto no tempo de ventilação mecânica invasiva, distribuição do edema, influência nos aspectos funcionais e tempo de recuperação.
Hydrological Processes Using by Environmental Isotopes in Karamana River Basin, Kerala, India.
Authors: Ande Ravi , Pardeshi Harshvardhan
Published: June 2024

The Hydrological modelling of resources greatly depends on an
understanding of the connection between surface water and groundwater in
a river basin. Despite being Thiruvananthapuram city’s most significant
Environmental Isotope supply, the Karamana River Basin lacks workable
Environmental Isotope and management plans. As such, the baseline data
produced by this study will make significant contributions to
hydrological modelling in the future. Downscaling is the process of
simulating the hydrologic variables at a regional scale using
large-scale Environmental Isotope outputs. There are two types of
downscaling techniques: statistical and dynamic. Due to its shorter
computing times, statistical downscaling has become more and more common
in hydrological investigations. Furthermore, the predictability and
robustness of real-time prediction will be enhanced by integrating the
uncertainty analysis with the future projection. Variations in the
oxygen (δ O) stable isotope’s spatial and temporal
distribution in the river basin’s surface water Assessment tool,
groundwater Assessment tool, and rainfall, as well as its integration
into the hydrograph separation-based recharging process mechanisms under
investigation.
Measuring how water-related policies of the global South consider gender: Insights from trialling a new policy gender index in Nepal
Authors: Cuddy Susan , Koirala Sanju , Wahid Shahriar , Penton David
Published: June 2024

This paper supports policymakers consider how well their water-related
policies respond to gender roles, norms and relations. By braiding the
latest philosophies on gender mainstreaming with Integrated Water
Resources Management and Feminist Policy Analysis principles, we
describe a Multi-Dimensional Index of Gender in Water Policy (MDI-GWP)
to measure how gender is captured in water-related policy. The indexing
enables the motivated policy actor to produce well-crafted and feasible
recommendations to reform policies. When we trialled MDI-GWP on 16 of
Nepal’s federal water-related policies and acts, the multi-dimensional
index tracked gender policy developments over the past 30 years,
identified areas where policymakers could further consider gender, and
revealed differences in gender application between sectors. We included
water resources management (WRM), agriculture, and water, sanitation and
hygiene (WASH) sectors. In Nepal’s case, agriculture and WASH policies
are on an improving trajectory for gender equity, while WRM policy has
rebounded to the gender blind. We expect that MDI-GWP is simple enough
to apply in other countries, yet meaningful enough to identify
opportunities to improve gender in policies and achieve better outcomes.
Highlights The essential role that women play in society needs
to be embedded in policy Policymakers need tools to assist them in
considering gender when preparing policies We provide a simple
multi-dimensional index to measure gender capture in policies The index
was successfully trialled on 16 of Nepal’s federal water-related
policies Nepal’s federal water policies do not reflect its commitment to
gender equity
The nunatak and tabula rasa hypotheses may be compatible: the European phylogeography of a riparian earthworm

Published: June 2024

Although some earthworms can survive in permafrost and tolerate cold
conditions, it is generally believed that most earthworms were
eradicated from northern latitudes during the Last Glacial Maximum. The
main goal of this study is to test this hypothesis using a cosmopolitan
earthworm as model, Eiseniella tetraedra. We collected 1,640 specimens
in 294 localities from 19 different countries. We examined three
molecular markers (COI, 16S and 28S) and their morphology. Furthermore,
we investigated their potential niches through Species Distribution
Models. Eleven genetic lineages were found, nested in five clades. Clade
I was more prevalent in cold biogeographical regions such as the
Continental, the Atlantic or even the Arctic, while clade II was
prevalent in Mediterranean regions. Potential niches agreed with the
distribution trends. The presence of restricted clades in the Iberian
and Scandinavian peninsulas, as well as in Eastern Europe, suggests that
these three regions served as refugia during the Last Glacial Maximum.
Thus, nunatak and tabula rasa hypotheses were necessary to explain the
actual distribution of this shore-dwelling earthworm.
Clarithromycin sustained-release tablets may be improper therapy for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori
Authors: Zuo xingsheng , shen qingli , luo jing , wang yaqin , zhao chenglong
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND: Clarithromycin plays a notable role in the eradication of
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) through the quadruple therapy. However,
there is limited research on whether different dosage forms of
clarithromycin yield similar efficacy against H. pylori. This study
aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different dosage forms of
clarithromycin in the bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for
eradicating H. pylori. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted
on patients diagnosed with H. pylori infection through the 13C-urea
breath test (13C-UBT) at Henan Provincial People’s Hospital (China) from
2020 to 2022. These patients received treatment with either
clarithromycin dispersible tablets or clarithromycin sustained-release
tablets (each at 500 mg). Treatment efficacy was assessed using a
13C-UBT at least four weeks after completion of treatment. Eradication
rate was investigated as the primary outcome, and influencing factors
between the eradication rate of H. pylori was analyzed. RESULTS: In the
dispersible and sustained-release tablets groups, univariate analysis
revealed a lower eradication rate with the clarithromycin
sustained-release tablets regimen compared with the clarithromycin
dispersible tablets regimen (75.26% (73/97) vs. 95.26% (200/210), P
< 0.05). Other factors, such as smoking, age were not
significantly associated with cure rate. Multivariate analysis
identified the dosage forms of clarithromycin as an independent risk
factor for eradication failure of the bismuth-containing quadruple
therapy (odds ratio = 0.145, 95% confidence interval: (0.065-0.323); P
< 0.05). CONCLUSION: The clarithromycin dispersible tablets
therapy demonstrated a higher eradication rate for H. pylori infection.

Unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation using a noval conditioning regimen for small month-old infants with rare non-malignant disorders
Authors: Wang Feiyan , Qu Yuhua , Jiang Hua
Published: June 2024

Background Patients afflicted with rare non-malignant disorders
endure the pain of the disease from birth. Receiving allogeneic
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) , especially
umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) , as soon as possible has
becomes the only cure opportunity for such patients. For infants under
six months old, the toxicity caused by chemotherapy-based conditioning
regimens is a key issue that needs to be focused on. Nevertheless,
consensus regarding specific dosage adjustments for conditioning
regimens in such infants remains elusive. Objective Our pilot
study aimed to determine a noval dose-adjusted conditioning regimen
suitable for infants under 6 months of age with rare non malignant
diseases who underwent unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation.
Methods We reported the transplant outcomes of five infants
under 6 months old with rare non-malignant disease who underwent UCBT at
our center from 2021 to 2024. Patients received a conditioning regimen
containing adjusted dose of cyclophosphamide, fludarabine,
anti-thymocyte immunoglobulin, busulfan and thiotepa, using≥8/10 UCB as
the cell source. Results The median age of the patients was 4.2
months (range, 4.0 to 5.1) and the median weight of the patients was 5.5
kg (range, 3.5 to 7.5) at transplantation. These infants were diagnosed
with Krabbe disease, very early onset inflammatory bowel disease
(VEO-IBD), Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) and Methoxyvaleric aciduria.
The median time for neutrophil engraftment and platelet engraftment in
all patients was 24 days (range, 12-30 days) and 32 days (range, 26 to
46 days), respectively. The whole blood donor chimerism in all patients
was>95% at 100 days post-UCBT, and all patients achieved a
durable complete donor chimerism. The primary diseases of all patients
have been effectively corrected, determined by regularly monitoring the
enzyme concentration or gene mutation recovery. All patients survived
until the follow-up date, and the event free survival rate after UCBT
was 100%. Two out of five patients developed acute GVHD, but none had
progressed to grade IV aGVHD or chronic GVHD. All patients achieved good
lymphocyte reconstruction, especially with CD4+cells reaching over
200/uL in all patients at 100 days after UCBT. Moreover, natural killer
cells and B cells also recover rapidly, with a immunoglobulin class
switching. Conclusions: In summary, our preliminary research
suggest that UCBT with this novel conditioning regimen offers a safe and
effective option for infants under 6 months with rare non-malignant
diseases, achieving early and rapid donor engraftment, good immune
reconstitution with mild GVHD, and superior over survival.
Reflecting on the symmetry of ecosystem tipping points. The influence of trait dissimilarity and environmental driver dynamics in a simple ecosystem model.
Authors: Bärtschi Pascal , Petchey Owen
Published: June 2024

Our understanding of the similarity in trajectories of ecosystem changes
during different directions of environmental change is limited. For
example, do the dominant organisms exhibit the same responses to
different directions of environmental change, i.e., do they exhibit
symmetric responses? Here, we explore whether such response symmetry is
determined and controlled by the symmetry in the features of the
underlying biological system (i.e., system symmetry), such as in the
network and strength of biotic and abiotic processes, and in symmetry of
the environmental change (i.e. environmental symmetry). For this
exploration we developed and used a simple mathematical model of a
microbial ecosystem driven by mutual inhibition in which we could vary
the amount of system and environmental symmetry. Our results show that
perfect system and environmental symmetry does indeed produce perfect
response symmetry. Moreover, introducing asymmetry in biological system
or in the environmental does proportionally increase response asymmetry.
This paper suggests using symmetries in ecosystem structures and
interaction strength to better understand and predict similarities in
degradation and restoration phases of environmental change.
Sex hormones and Sjögren’s Disease: A Mendelian randomization study

Published: June 2024

Objective: Postmenopausal women have a higher risk of developing
Sjögren’s Disease (SjD) than men, indicating the involvement of sex
hormones. The objective of this study was to investigate the causal
relationship between sex hormones and SjD using a two-sample Mendelian
randomization (MR) study. Methods: A two-sample MR analysis was
conducted to examine sex hormone associations with SjD. Sex-stratified
designs were employed, with additional databases used for further
analysis of the outcomes. A Bonferroni correction was applied to ensure
robust conclusions. Additionally, bioinformatics methods were employed
to explore the underlying connections between sex hormones and SjD.
Results: The results of the MR analysis showed a significant inverse
association between BT levels and the risk of SjD, with each one
standard deviation (SD) increase in BT levels associated with a 55%
decrease in SjD risk ( P = 5.2357E–05). The sex-stratified analysis
provided that, for every one SD increase in BT levels, the risk of SjD
decreased by 27% in males and 20% in females ( P = 0.036, P = 0.0377).
Specifically, among females, each one SD increase in TT levels resulted
in a 28% reduction of SjD risk ( P = 0.0306). The bioinformatics
analysis suggested that inflammation and immune-related pathways
underlie their connection. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated a
definitive causal relationship between androgen levels and the
susceptibility to SjD, particularly among females. Androgen deficiency
was shown to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of SjD, with
inflammation and immune-related pathways underpinning the association.
The fundamental principles of natural selection, survival, and adaptation: What characteristics natural selection consider during adaptation, survival, and reproduction?
Authors: Arbab Mohammad yousef
Published: June 2024

Natural selection was first proposed by Mr. Darwin and Mr. Wallace.
Natural selection is a process that, during successive generations,
leads to the creation of hereditary traits that increase the probability
of survival and reproduction of living organisms in a population. In
other words, natural selection selects alleles that have characteristics
that help reproduction and survival. Alleles that increase the
probability of survival and reproduction are passed on to the next
generation. However, I want to argue that the heritable traits that
increase the likelihood of survival, adaptation, and reproduction are
created by natural selection based on certain fundamental principles. In
other words, for living organisms to succeed in survival and adaptation,
natural selection selects the hereditary characteristics of alleles
based on certain fundamental principles. Fundamental principles:
1-energy and nutrient supply; 2-security supply; 3-adapting to
environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, etc.;
4-reproduction. These are the fundamental principles of natural
selection that, if fulfilled, increase the probability of adaptation,
survival and reproduction. Previously, these fundamental principles were
briefly stated by Mr. Darwin and other biologists. However, the
importance, value, and very important role of these fundamental
principles in the process of natural selection and evolution have
received very little attention. If we explain survival, adaptation, and
natural selection without these fundamental principles, the concepts of
survival, adaptation, and natural selection will not be correct and
these basic and important concepts of biology will be incompletely and
wrongly understood.
A case of coronary sinus ostium atresia misdiagnosed as patent foramen ovale
Authors: Fangzhou Li , Li Xiaoqiang
Published: June 2024

A 15-year-old male patient presented with a three-year history of
recurrent dizziness and headaches and was initially diagnosed with
patent foramen ovale (PFO). A transcatheter closure procedure was
planned and conducted under general anesthesia, utilizing ultrasound
guidance through the femoral vein. Pre-admission echocardiography
confirmed the presence of a PFO. However, further investigation with
transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and contrast echocardiography,
both performed under general anesthesia, revealed that the observed
atrial septal anomaly was not a PFO. Instead, real-time TEE identified
it as the left atrial opening of the coronary vein. Subsequent detailed
TEE tracking confirmed a rare case of coronary sinus ostium atresia
(CSOA) with left atrial reflux of the coronary vein, leading to a
significant revision of the initial diagnosis and planned treatment.

Exploring the World of Numeracy: An Analysis of Third-Grade Elementary School Students
Authors: Rediani Ni Nyoman
Published: June 2024

Numeracy literacy is a crucial skill that students must master, as strong numeracy skills can support other forms of literacy. However, in some regions, numeracy skills are still at a relatively low level. This is the reason behind conducting research aimed at assessing the numeracy literacy skills of third-grade students in elementary schools. This research is of a quantitative descriptive nature, involving a sample of 32 subjects. Data collection methods include interviews, observations, and tests. The interactive data analysis model consists of three main steps: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions (verification). The research results indicate that students' numeracy literacy skills are in the low category. This is evident from the calculated scores of each student. The study also identifies, among the six components of numeracy literacy measured in this research, that the indicator requiring the most attention is the use of measurement tools, including topics such as length, time, area, and others. This condition is supported by findings from other methods, which reveal that teachers have relatively low awareness when it comes to using concrete teaching materials. This is one of the factors contributing to the low level of numeracy literacy skills.

DYNAMICS OF HEAVY METALS MIGRATION IN THE SOIL AS A CONSEQUENCE OF MILITARY ACTIONS
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Petrushka Kateryna , Petrushka Ihor ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Holdrych Artur ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: June 2024

The military operations in Ukraine have consequences for the biosphere, which is negatively affected by the hostilities, causing its destruction and degradation, - soils. It is currently impossible to fully assess the impact of military and terrorist actions on the environment due to the lack of accurate information. The shelling of civilian and strategically important objects in Ukraine created synergistic conditions for the environment to accumulate and enter through leaching from the soil a large amount of heavy metals into surface water. Accordingly, this leads to mass degradation of not only the soil environment, but also the hydrosphere and plant life. The entry of potentially toxic elements (PTE) into the environment, soil and plants is accompanied by their oxidation and other chemical processes. Soil sampling was carried out by the method of a concentric circle, in the canter of which is the source of pollution, which allows us to assess the degree of distribution of potentially toxic elements depending on the depth of the well. In our research on the content of heavy metals in the soil during the shelling of Lviv and 6 months later, XRF and ICP analyzes of soil samples. The results of the analysis of the content of heavy metals in the soil after 6 months show that the concentration of cadmium is reduced by two times; copper and nickel, respectively, 3 and 3.5 times; lead+ and chromium - twice. It is known that heavy metals do not undergo decomposition processes, but can only be redistributed between natural environments.

Ajan poluilla

Tässä kirjoituksessa tarkastellaan väyläadpositioiden (esimerkiksi läpi, yli, halki, pitkin) käyttöpotentiaalia ajallista liikettä kuvaavissa metaforisissa ilmauksissa. Näkökulma ei ole yksittäisten adpositioiden semantiikassa vaan erilaisten spatiaalisten ja ajallisten väylätyyppien kirjossa ja niiden vastaavuuksissa. Artikkelissa pohditaan, millaisiin spatiaalisiin väylätyyppeihin metaforiset aikaväylät voidaan rinnastaa ja miten tämä riippuu kulloinkin väylään suhteutettavan muuttujan (eli väylällä liikkuvan tai sijaitsevan entiteetin) luonteesta. Tarkastelu on teorialähtöistä, ja sen pohjana ovat aiemman fennistisen kirjallisuuden erottamat spatiaaliset väylätyypit. Aikaväyläilmauksissa vaihtelee se, liikkuuko muuttuja aikaväylällä (Heikki sinnitteli talven läpi; muuttuja lihavoitu), kasvaako muuttujan ala väylällä vaiheittain (Sairauslomaani jatkettiin viikonlopun yli) vai esitetäänkö muuttujan sijaitsevan väylällä pysyvästi (Kesäaikajakso ulottuu pitkälle syyskuun ohi). Muuttuja voi olla konkreettinen olento (Heikki), mutta tyypillisemmin se on ajallinen entiteetti, kuten tilanteen ajallinen ulottuvuus (Kevättä pitkin ilma lämpenee) tai kokonaisuudeksi ymmärretty ajanjakso (Opetusperiodi jatkuu pääsiäisen yli). Kieliopin näkökulmasta kiinnostavaa on, hahmottuuko muuttujaksi yksi tarkoite vai koko verbin kuvaama tilanne kaikkine osallistujineen. Jälkimmäisessä tapauksessa väyläilmaus saa myös aspektuaalisia, tilanteen keston ilmaisemiseen liittyviä tehtäviä.
 
Paths of time: how path expressions designate motion in space and in time
This article examines the usage potential of Finnish path adpositions (such as läpi ‘through’, yli ‘over’, halki ‘across’, pitkin ‘along’) in metaphorical expressions of temporal motion. The focus is not on the semantics of individual adpositions but on the range of different spatial and temporal path types and their correspondences: are there temporal counterparts for all types of spatial paths? The analysis is theory-driven, and it takes as its starting point an earlier typology of spatial path expressions. In the typology, the main variable is whether the Figure (the entity whose location is in question) moves along the path as a whole, grows along the path until it fulfils the path completely, or merely remains stationary and fulfils the path continuously. The conceptual type of the Figure varies accordingly: it can be an individual in metaphorical motion (‘We went through a hard winter’), an extended period of time (‘The spring semester goes on past Easter’), or the temporal profile of a process (‘I slept through the afternoon’). The nature of the Figure and its relationship to the path correlate with the grammatical function of the path expression, which alternates between a complement of a motion verb and a free modifier.

Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study was to determine the understanding and anxiety aspects of SMA Negeri 1 Lhoksukon students about making future career decisions. This type of research is descriptive research. In this study the authors used class XI student informants at SMA Negeri 1 Lhoksukon, North Aceh Regency, as many as 125 students. Given that there were too many informants, namely 125 students, the researchers took informants representing classes XI-1, XI-2, XI-3 and XI-4 per class of one student, so the informants were 4 students. The data collection techniques are observation, interviews and documentation. The result of the first research is the understanding of SMA Negeri 1 Lhoksukon students about making career decisions in the future where students in making career decisions are the process of determining student choices about their careers. The problem is, in fact, there are students who are able to choose a path for their career decisions, and there are also students who are unable to choose a path for their career decisions. In making career decisions there are four processes, namely exploration, crystallization, selection and clarification. The two aspects of anxiety that occur in students when making decisions about future careers for SMA Negeri 1 Lhoksukon students include cognitive aspects, motor aspects, somatic aspects and affective aspects.

The role of biostimulants in modern fruit tree and shrub cultivation
Authors: Buczyński Kamil
Published: June 2024

Dynamic changes in the fruit tree and shrub cultivation sector caused, among other things, by a high increase in production costs, the European Green Deal and increasingly high requirements with regard to the quality parameters of the obtained yield and their safety for consumers force producers to continuously introduce new changes in cultivation technology in order to meet all requirements. Choosing the optimum cultivation technology is also crucial to the economic success of farmers, allowing them to continue to operate and grow. One of the fastest growing branches of crop support today is biostimulation. Although biostimulants are not essential for crop production, their use can be fundamental under certain conditions. The aim of this paper was to provide comprehensive information on research in the field of biostimulation of fruit trees and shrubs and to consider the potential use of such preparations in the perspective of maximising the use of fertilisers, plant protection products and improving the quality, structure and microbial life of soils and substrates. At the same time, obtaining the highest possible yield with the highest possible crop quality, fully safe for consumer consumption.
