Published: February 2021

Repeated food scandals in China have prompted growing consumer consciousness on food safety and health. Organic food, considered to be of higher quality, is being increasingly demanded by Chinese consumers. This study examines preferences for organic labels to provide insight on the sustainable development of the Oolong tea industry. Research was conducted using the choice experiment (CE) method in Fujian and Guangdong Provinces. The results demonstrate that place of origin, organic label, and brand attributes are all significant factors affecting the purchase of Oolong. Also, people demonstrated significantly positive attitudes toward organic labels and preferred Oolong tea from Fujian Province to those from Guangdong Province and Taiwan. Increasing trust can enhance consumer preference and willingness to pay (WTP) for organic labels. Contrary to previous studies, people have a higher WTP for Chinese organic labels than Japanese and American ones. This is probably because respondents are more familiar with domestic Oolong tea and trust more in Chinese organic certification. This provides an opportunity for domestic producers to tailor their organic food labels and better satisfy consumer demands. These findings suggest that the Chinese government should take more responsibility for reducing food-related fraud and thus improve consumer trust regarding organic food.

Published: February 2021

Inflammation is a normal protective response to tissue damage that mediated by Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. The enhancement incidence and impact of inflammatory diseases have encouraged the search for new pharmacological strategies to overcome the problem. Ketumbar (Coriandrumsativum L.) has been traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, thus giving chance for anti-inflammatory studies. This study aims to determine the ethanol extract of Ketumbar (Coriandrumsativum L.) leaves anti-inflammatory activity and inhibitory effect on COX-2 enzyme. This study uses male wistar rats with 180–220 g body weights. The rats is divided into six groups by the dose of 125 mg/kg BW, 250 mg/kg BW, and 500 mg/kg BW; positive control (Carrageenan 1%); negative control (Na. CMC 0,5%); and comparative group (Celecoxib 9 mg/kg BW). Determining the anti-inflammatory activity, the oedema formation is measured using a plethysmometer and the inhibition activity is determined by ELISA methods. The results showed that the ethanol extract of Ketumbar leaves by the dose of 125 mg/kg BW, 250 mg/kg BW, and 500 mg/kg BW was significantly inhibitted COX-2 valued 65,61%, 76,83%, and 62,93%. The anti-inflammatory activity was shown by inhibiting oedema valued of 62.26%, 70.59%, and 54.90% respectively. These findings suggested that the ethanol extract of Ketumbar leaves had anti-inflammatory activity, that was possibly mediated through inhibition of COX-2 enzymes

Sustainable vs. not sustainable cooperative banks business model: The case of GBCI and the authority view
Authors: Porretta Pasqualina , Benassi Andrea
Published: February 2021

Sustainable finance has become a common lexicon of both supervisors and financial institutions in the last years also due to the COVID-19 crisis. Undoubtedly, the application of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) factors is currently designing a new strategic perspective, a new approach to business usually named “sustainable”. The paper’s research problem is related to the reengineering of the bank’s business model on sustainability. Integrate ESG factors within the decision-making process will not be enough for the European financial sector; it will be strategic that European authorities and regulators also ensure incentives in this direction. In this perspective, the paper has the purpose to answer the following questions: “How sustainable the business model of cooperative credit banks is and how they are ESG oriented?”, “What are the possible ways, in the prudential framework, to foster a higher attention to the ESG paradigm, in the bank’s business model?”. The research methodology used analyses of a) the main features of cooperative bank systems and the sustainability of their business model and the conceptual benchmark framework used by EBA in the 2020 survey; b) the case of Iccrea Sustainability Framework. The contribution of our paper is manifold and likely to raise the interest of policymakers. Our argumentations and conclusions are likely to contribute in terms of recognition of the sustainable business model also in the prudential framework in the current COVID-19 economy.

Invasive species are significant contributors to global changes and
constitute a severe threat to biodiversity. Yet invasions offer an
incredible framework to understand how small and low-diverse introduced
populations adapt to novel environmental conditions and succeed in
colonizing large areas. However, due to the insufficient data on the
origin of the first introduced propagule and the first stage of
invasion, reconstructing a species’ invasion history is challenging.
Here, we applied genetic clustering methods and explicit admixture tests
combined with ABC models and Machine Learning algorithms to describe the
phylogeography of native and invasive populations and infer the most
probable demographic invasion scenarios of Pseudorasbora parva, a highly
invasive freshwater fish and the healthy carrier of a novel lethal
fungi-like pathogen (Sphaerothecum destruens), which is responsible for
the decline of several fish species in Europe. We found that the current
genetic structuring of the native P. parva range has been shaped by
waves of gene flow originating from southern and northern Chinese
populations. Furthermore, our results strongly suggest that the invasive
genetic diversity is the outcome of past recurrent global invasion
pathways of admixed native populations. Our study also illustrates how
the combination of admixture tests, ABC, Machine Learning can be used to
detect high-resolution demographic signatures and reconstruct an
integrative biological invasion history.
A novel, scalable, and modular bioreactor design for dynamic simulation of the digestive tract
Authors: Habib Salam , Swaby Anikka , Kubow Stan , Agellon Luis
Published: February 2021

In vitro gut model systems permit the growth of gut microbes outside
their natural habitat and are essential to the study of gut microbiota.
Systems available today are limited by lack of scalability and
flexibility in mode of operation. Here we describe the development of a
versatile bioreactor module capable of sensing and controlling of
environmental parameters such as pH control of culture medium, rate of
influx and efflux of the culture medium, and aerobic/anaerobic
atmosphere. Modules can be linked in series to construct a model of a
digestive tract to allow the growth of microbiota in vitro. We tested
the growth of a model bacterial community in a simulated mammalian gut
model. The model attained and maintained a stable bacterial community
that metabolized bile acids. The findings illustrate the utility of the
model to grow to culture a mixed bacterial community and recapitulate
biological activities such as bile acid metabolism in vitro.
When snows bloom: snow algae associated microbial communities are underpinned by trophic partitioning
Authors: Tucker Avery , Brown Shawn
Published: February 2021

Snow microbial communities (algae, bacteria, and fungi) play major roles
in snow ecosystem processes and are linked to snowmelt dynamics, but
patterns and mechanisms underpinning their spatial distributions,
community assembly, and maintenance dynamics are poorly understood. Here
we examine nival microbial communities and physicochemical measures
across a semi-continental scale and across categorical snow algae bloom
zones to elucidate interrelation between communities and their
environment. Evidence suggests that trophic partitioning may be a major
driver of snow community sub-networks. Samples from snows from the
Cascade Mountains (USA) and the Rocky Mountains (USA) were collected
from active red snow algae blooms from the center of the bloom (medial),
from the edge of the bloom (peripheral), and in adjacent ‘white’ snow.
Medial sections of snow algae blooms show increased levels of
anemophilous bisaccate pollen, lower oxidation-reduction potential,
decreased algal and increased bacterial richness, and increased levels
of potassium. Fungal communities between the Cascade and Rocky Mountains
are distinct but bacterial and algal communities show little
intracontinental differentiation. Ecological modules were identified
using a weighted gene co-expression analysis (WGCNA), which shows that
dominant microbial consortia correlate differentially to environmental
parameters, suggesting complex subcommunities drive observed ecological
patterns. Individual OTU networks (fungi and bacteria) show high levels
of network connectivity compared to networks based on the snow algae
Sanguina nivaloides, which underscores associative differences between
algal dominated networks and other OTU networks, indicative of trophic
partitioning.

Psychometric characteristics of a Serbian translation of the unconditional self-acceptance questionnaire and the development of a short form
Authors: Popov Stanislava , Sokic Jelena
Published: February 2021

The Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire is extensively used in the assessment of one?s ability to evaluate their skills, actions, thoughts, and feelings, without a generalized evaluation of one?s worth or value. However, it has often been criticized for being contaminated with self-esteem items and, hence, theoretically incongruent. We evaluated the psychometric properties of the instrument and provided the first validation of the short Serbian adaptation of the USAQ. In Study 1 (n = 288), we examined the latent structure of the original USAQ translated to the Serbian language and found a three-factor solution, consisting of Conditional Self-Acceptance, Unconditional Self-Acceptance, and Attitudes About Human Worth. In Study 2 (n = 354), we sought to validate the shorter version of the scale. The twofactor solution, comprising Unconditional and Conditional Self-Acceptance, explained 51 % of the variance. Re-testing the two-factor structure on a different sample, the CFA revealed satisfactory fit indices. Apart from good internal consistency, the shortened scale showed comparable associations with appropriate convergent and discriminant constructs (e.g., explicit self-esteem, positive and negative state/trait affectivity, and the states of anxiety and depression), supporting the construct validity of the Serbian version. Further implications for research and therapeutic practice are discussed.
Perceptions of Robotic Process Automation in Big 4 Public Accounting Firms: Do Firm Leaders and Lower-Level Employees Agree?
Authors: Cooper Lauren A. , Holderness D. Kip , Sorensen Trevor L. , Wood David A.
Published: February 2021

The use of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a recent innovation in the public accounting industry, and the Big 4 firms are at the forefront of its implementation. This paper examines how the adoption and use of RPA is affecting the perceived work experience of firm leaders and lower-level employees at Big 4 accounting firms. We interview 14 RPA leaders, survey 139 lower-level employees, and compare and contrast their responses. We find that the two groups generally agree that RPA is having a positive influence on the profession. Both groups believe that RPA is positively changing the work employees perform and improving employee career prospects. However, while firm leaders believe RPA will improve work satisfaction, lower-level employees report no such improvements. Our insights provide direction for the accounting profession as it increases the use of RPA and for future research studies examining related issues.

Cutaneous wound healing is a fundamental biologic and coordinated process, and failure to maintain this process contributes to the dysfunction of tissue homeostasis, increasing the global burden of diabetic foot ulcerations. However, the factors that mediate this process are not fully understood. Here, we identify the pivotal role of dedicator of cytokinesis 5 (Dock5) in keratinocyte functions contributing to the process of skin wound healing. Specifically, Dock5 is highly upregulated during the proliferative phase of wound repair and is predominantly expressed in epidermal keratinocytes. It regulates keratinocyte adhesion, migration, and proliferation and influences the functions of extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition by facilitating the ubiquitination of transcription factor ZEB1 to activate laminin-332/integrin signaling. Genetic ablation of Dock5 in mice leads to attenuated reepithelialization and granulation tissue formation, and Dock5 overexpression–improved skin repair can be abrogated by LAMA3 knockdown. Importantly, Dock5 expression in the skin edge is reduced in patients and animal models of diabetes, further suggesting a direct correlation between its abundance and healing capability. The rescue of Dock5 expression in diabetic mice causes a significant improvement in reepithelialization, collagen deposition, ECM production, and granulation. Our study provides a potential therapeutic target for wound healing impairment during diabetes.

OBJECTIVE

To elucidate the pathogenesis of postpancreatectomy diabetes mellitus (PPDM).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Forty-eight patients without diabetes undergoing either pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) (n = 20) or distal pancreatectomy (DP) (n = 28) were included. A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was performed every 6 months. Microbiome composition and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in feces were examined before and 6 months after surgery. The association of histological characteristics of the resected pancreas with PPDM was examined.

RESULTS

During follow-up (median 3.19 years), 2 of 20 PD patients and 16 of 28 DP patients developed PPDM. Proteobacteria relative abundance, plasma glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and fecal butyrate levels increased only after PD. Postsurgical butyrate levels were correlated with postsurgical GLP-1 levels. With no significant difference in the volume of the resected pancreas between the surgical procedures, both β-cell and α-cell areas in the resected pancreas were significantly higher in DP patients than in PD patients. In DP patients, the progressors to diabetes showed preexisting insulin resistance compared with nonprogressors, and both increased α- and β-cell areas were predictors of PPDM. Furthermore, in DP patients, α-cell and β-cell areas were associated with ALDH1A3 expression in islets.

CONCLUSIONS

We postulate that a greater removal of β-cells contributes to the development of PPDM after DP. Islet expansion along with preexisting insulin resistance is associated with high cellular plasticity, which may predict the development of PPDM after DP. In contrast, PD is associated with alterations of gut microbiome and increases in SCFA production and GLP-1 secretion, possibly protecting against PPDM development.

As an agricultural country Indonesia has a lot of natural potential that can be used as export base, for example is cocoa. Unfortunately, most of the cocoa products are still exported in raw form. Even if,, Indonesia also imports cocoa in the form of seeds or in processed form. As a result, there are muchlost value added of cocoa. The lost value added of cocoa is measured by the difference between processed cocoa and raw cocoa exports. The loss of added value can actually become Indonesia's revenue potential. The purpose of this research is to lose the added value of Indonesian cocoa products during the period 20092018. In addition, the lost value added of cocoa is also forecasted until the end of 2018. The technique used to forecast is by ARIMA method. It estimates that lost value added of cocoa every month until December 2018. The increase in lost valueadded will give benefit for Indonesianif they can undertake theirs own processing of cocoa products and publishing them to the international market in the form of processed product. Therefore, it is necessary to start to develop alternatives such as the development of production-based agroindustries, especially on the concept of cocoa, and the application of One Village One Product (OVOP) concept in order to increase cocoa productivity and minimize domestic competition

The analysis results show that changes in macroeconomic conditions such as exchange rate, government expenditure and gross domestic product in Indonesia have a significant effect on foreign direct investment (FDI) Indonesia, while Inflation has a negative effect on foreign direct investment FDI and the monetary crisis has a negative effect on the development of FDI in Indonesia. So that the severe financial crisis in the American and European regions today, the impact on foreign direct investment (FDI) Indonesia is still within the limits of tolerance. Therefore, although there are still problems in the investment climate in Indonesia, the outlook for investment in Indonesia over the next period is still good, although perhaps with the growth of investment slows down.

Published: February 2021

Indonesia has become the country with the largest palm oil production. However, the level of productivity of oil palm per land in Indonesia tends to remain stagnant. The main objective of this study is to evaluate oil palm lands of smallholders that experience land inefficiency. In analyzing land efficiency, this study used cross-section data obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). This study uses an input distance function approach with stochastic frontier analysis tools. Our estimation results found that on average, smallholders oil palm plantations face land inefficiency. The land inefficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations is not proportional to the negative impacts it has caused. The intensification of oil palm plantation land is one of the ways to reduce the rate of deforestation and optimize available land. Land intensification can be done through the selection of potential lands, renewal programs for oil palm trees, supporting facilities and infrastructure, and plantation technology development.
