Published: April 2024

This study explores the moderating role of gender on the relationship between religiosity and effective leadership among leaders of both genders in Maldives. Maldives is a hundred percent Muslim nation, and Islamic Shariah is the law. While women reserve the privilege to hold public office and to practice public functions statistical data indicates a notable underrepresentation of females in leadership positions due to the rigid perception of gender roles embedded in society. Earlier studies conducted in the Maldivian setting suggested that the conservative interpretation of Islam disadvantaged women. Thus, the first objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between religiosity and effective leadership and secondly to identify the moderating role of gender on the relationship between religiosity and effective leadership. To achieve these objectives, a sample of 157 useful data was collected from 250 questionnaires distributed to leaders across various domains in the Maldives. The study employed a purposive sampling method from both genders, aged between 30 to 70 years. Out of the two hypotheses tested, results indicated the acceptance of the first hypothesis, establishing a significant relationship between religiosity and leadership. However, the second hypothesis was not supported where gender moderates the relationship between religiosity and effective leadership. This suggests the importance of religiosity in the effectiveness of leadership. Regardless of gender, adherence to a higher level of religiosity contributes positively to leadership effectiveness. Thus, for leaders in Maldives, if they want to be effective leaders, they must be religious regardless of their gender.

Characterisation and Functionalisation of Ultrabithorax Materials for Biosensing
Authors:   , Szuba-Jablonski Karol
Published: April 2024

Ultrabithorax (Ubx) is a Hox transcription factor, which self-assembles into protein films and fibres at the air-water interface. Ubx materials are bio- and cyto-compatible, and can be functionalised with DNA, proteins, and growth factors to benefit from functions such as supporting cell proliferation. This thesis investigated the optical, electrical, and mechanical properties of Ubx fusion fibres in conditions relevant to applications in biosensing and tissue engineering. The steady-state and time-resolved spectra of the fibres were measured using an ultrafast laser source. The dityrosine emission peak red-shifted by 50nm in fibres compared to Ubx fusion solutions, and resonance energy transfer between dityrosine and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was observed in the EGFP-Ubxprotein fusion. The electrical properties of Ubx fusion fibres were tested, and anincrease in their electrical conductivity by 3 orders of magnitude was measuredwith rising relative humidity. Tensile tests of Ubx fusion fibres revealed that thefibres were less extensible but stronger after prolonged storage and rehydration,which could influence the design of Ubx materials for tissue engineering. Significant binding of DNA aptamers to Ubx in solution and in fibres was observed. A fluorescence-based method to assess binding eciency of bacteria and the SARSCoV-2 spike RBD protein was developed. Some indication of increased specific pathogen binding was observed using long oligonucleotide sequences bound to Ubx fusion fibres, and improvements to this system were suggested. Alginate and collagen are biomaterials widely used in tissue engineering. Preliminary experiments were conducted that showed the feasibility of production of composite materials made of Ubx and alginate or collagen, which could be applied to createfunctional tissue scaffolds. Ubx-based platforms and composite materials couldbenefit from the intrinsic properties of Ubx, and Ubx functionalisation with proteins,growth factors and DNA aptamers for applications in biosensing and tissueengineering.

Red chili is an important commodity that is daily needed by the community. Non-central chili areas often experience deficits due to the high consumption volume and low productivity of chili peppers. To increase the productivity of chili in non-central areas, expand it in the medium land. This study aims to determine the productivity of two introduced chili varieties in the medium land whose adaptation areas came from lowland and highland areas. This study was analyzed using an independent sample T-test at a significant level of 5%. The results of the data analysis showed that the Tanjung II variety significantly influenced the parameters of stem diameter and weight of the fruit. Meanwhile, the Unpad CB2 variety significantly influences the parameters of plant height, number of leaves, number of flowers, number of fruits, and fruit set. However, both varieties have no noticeable effect on the weight parameters of the cropping fruit and potential yield in hectares. The Tanjung II variety experienced a decrease in yield by 54.58%, while the Unpad CB2 variety was 53.56%.

Published: April 2024

Potatoes are the third most consumed food in Indonesia. The availability of high-quality potato tuber seeds is still low which affects potato production. Potato planting in the highlands is limited, so it needs to be expanded into medium lands. The modification that can increase the production of G0 potato tuber seeds on medium lands is the use of biochar and retardant. The purpose of this research was to determine the composition of biochar and the type of retardant to increase the G0 tuber seed yield of potato cv Medians in the medium lands of Jatinangor. The research was conducted from August 2022 to February 2023 at the Station Ciparanje, Jatinangor, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran. The experiment used Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD). The first factor was the biochar compositions: b1 (100% compost), b2 (80% compost + 20% rice husk biochar), b3 (80% compost + 20% coconut shell biochar), and b4 (80% compost + 10% biochar husk rice + 10% coconut shell biochar). The second factor was the retardant type: r1 (without retardant), r2 (100 ppm paclobutrazol), and r3 (100 ppm prohexadione-Ca). The experimental results showed that there was no interaction effect of biochar compositions and retardant type on the growth and yield of G0 potato tuber seeds. Treatment of 80% compost + 20% coconut shell biochar suppressed plant height but increased the number of tubers. Treatment of 100 ppm paclobutrazol resulted in lower plant height but total chlorophyll content, percentage of stolon forming tubers, the number of tubers, and tuber weight per plant were higher compared to treatments without retardant and with 100 ppm prohexadione-Ca.

Published: April 2024

Herbicide effectiveness is affected by herbicide formulation, rainfall, and weed type. Differences in glyphosate salt formulations and 2,4 D amine mixtures may result in variations in the herbicide's ability to wash off the herbicide due to rain. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of different glyphosate herbicide formulations under varying rainfall in controlling various weeds. The experiment took place in a controlled greenhouse environment, utilizing a split plot experimental design with four replications.  The main plot was assigned to six different rainfall timings: 0 hours after application (HAA), 1 HAA, 2 HAA, 3 HAA, 4 HAA, and no rainfall. The subplots involved different herbicide formulations, namely isopropylamine glyphosate (h1), potassium glyphosate (h2), sodium glyphosate (h3) and glyphosate herbicide, IPA herbicide glyphosate + 2,4 D Amine (h4) and without any herbicide application (h0). Various parameters were observed, including weed dry weight and percentage of mortality growth. The results showed that the effectiveness of each herbicide formulation was diffent among weed specie under simulated rainfall conditions. Ageratum conyzoides can be controlled using isopropylamine glyphosate and potassium glyphosate with rainfall at 1 HAA. Axonopus compressus can be controlled by isopropylamine glyphosate and sodium glyphosate with rainfall at 1 HAA, while Borreria alata and Cyperus rotundus were effectively controlled by isopropylamine glyphosate with rainfall at 1 HAA.

Published: April 2024

Workplace bullying (WB) and workplace incivility (WI) appear to be the most alarming events with a potentially threat to the entire workforce and organization. Considering their implications, this research study is examining the effect of WB and WI on employee performance (EP) in the presence of psychological well-being (PW) among both relationships. Sample of the female employees (Nurses) working in the health care units and hospitals of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJ&K), Pakistan was taken to collect the data. Data were collected from female nurses and their supervisors working in the public sector hospitals of AJ&K, Pakistan. The current study uses AMOS 21.0 for empirical analysis to estimate the “Structural Equation Model (SEM)”. The results of SEM show that WB and WI negatively influence nurses’ performance in Azad Jammu and Kashmir’s health sectors. Moreover, PW mediates the association between WB and EP. Similarly, the effects of WI decrease in the presence of PW. The current study provides theoretical and practical implications for Pakistan’s health sector regulators and other stakeholders. It also sheds highlight on the importance of a stress-free environment for health sector employees and postulates that employee productivity may be enhanced after eliminating bullying and incivility at the workplace. Further, the study guides managers to create stress-free environments and policies to enhance employee’s productivity.

Published: April 2024

Purpose

Telerehabilitation may stabilize the results of a previous phase 2 rehabilitation program through remote rehabilitation sessions. We evaluated a new telerehabilitation service (PV RehaTRAIN®) during its initial implementation, focusing on its usability both from the perspective of patients with musculoskeletal or oncological diseases and the interdisciplinary treatment team.

Methods

The evaluation followed a convergent mixed-methods design. After separate qualitative and quantitative analyses of the multi-perspective findings from interviews, focus groups and questionnaires, we interpreted the results collectively and equally.

Results

Overall, the results indicate high acceptance of and satisfaction with the new telerehabilitation service, especially from the patients’ perspective and regarding educational and individual counselling sessions. However, the treatment team identified a need for further didactic training to enable them to realize their full professional potential in a telerehabilitation setting.

Conclusion

The new telerehabilitation service PV RehaTRAIN® may bridge gaps in health care for patients who do not have access to conventional phase 3 rehabilitation infrastructure or prefer remote services that are readily integrated into their everyday lives. Members of the interdisciplinary treatment team offering telerehabilitation for the first time need adequate technical and especially setting-specific didactic training. Increased participation of treatment teams when refining telerehabilitation systems may minimize problems in early implementation phases and contribute to the quality of care.

Published: April 2024

Background

Physical and social activity can influence positively the effects of ageing. This study examined differences in balance, physical activity and social integration between everyday active, sportive or dancing 60- to 80-year-old people in Lower Austria.

Materials and methods

We recruited 50 seniors with a mean age of 66.8 ± 4.2 years for this cross-sectional study. 13 people were active everyday, 21 were sportive on a weekly basis and 16 were “Seniorentanz” dancers. We blindly assessed balance (MiniBESTest), mobility (Timed Up and Go), and muscular endurance of knee extensors, hip abductors, and plantar flexors. Questionnaires identified physical activity (IPAQ-SF) and social integration (LSNS-6). The analysis of group differences was carried out descriptively and via ANOVA or the Kruskal-Wallis H test.

Results

People who were regularly active in senior dance showed 5.5 points significantly higher balance ability in the MiniBESTest than those who were otherwise sportive (p = .002), and 7.5 points significantly higher balance than people who were active in everyday life (p = .006). According to the IPAQ-SF, athletes were by 4515 MET-min/week significantly more physically active than people who are only active in everyday life (p = .003). Social integration or other parameters did not differ between groups.

Conclusion

The small sample, the heterogeneity of the participants and differences in the contextual conditions of the measurements limit the validity of the results of this study. The results of this Lower Austrian sample could indicate differences in balance and physical activity between everyday active, sportive or dancing ageing people.

This ergonomic desk bag is useful as a product that makes it easier for people who work with high mobility so that a bag that functions as a storage area is combined with a foldable table and there are several features on the table, one of which is the height of the table legs that can be adjusted and in terms of materials choose materials that not too heavy so as not to make the user object. This product was made due to the lack of ergonomics of the table or the lack of availability of tables when people work outside the office. For this reason, this product is designed so that when carrying a bag, users can still use the table. The method used in this research is distributing questionnaires, the Ulrich and Eppinger Method, and the Analytical Hierarchy Process. . Ergonomic desk bag product design carries out the process of selecting the selected product then developing and implementing it on the user and the result is that the user can use the table when doing his work even though there is no table in that place.

Published: April 2024

The covid 19 pandemic has created a significant impact on the lives of people’s psychological health, and women have experienced particular difficulty because of the many roles and responsibilities that they take up in Kerala households. This is an effort to explore the psychological health of working and non-working women in Kerala. A random sampling method was used to collect the data from people working in different organizations, and the results were obtained. The finding suggests that working women were able to have more psychological well-being in specific dimensions like self-acceptance and purpose of life than non-working women. So, the study implies that we need to plan tailor-made interventions for women in Kerala, especially those limiting themselves to household work since their psychological well-being is affected.

Published: April 2024

При обработке матриц большой размерности c нерегулярной структурой реальная производительность кластерных многопроцессорных вычислительных систем (МВС) невелика и даже с применением специальных методов обработки не превышает 30%. Для эффективной обработки больших матриц с нерегулярной структурой возможно использовать реконфигурируемые вычислительные системы (РВС), для которых авторами предложен метод обработки больших разреженных неструктурированных матриц (БРН-матриц), за счет которого была достигнута реальная производительность, близкая к 50% от пиковой. В статье описывается модификация разработанного метода обработки БРН-матриц, которая отличается распараллеливанием обработки ненулевых элементов строки и позволяет вдвое увеличить скорость работы вычислительной структуры при незначительном увеличении занимаемого аппаратного ресурса. Модифицированный метод обработки БРН-матриц на РВС обеспечивает реальную производительность, близкую к 90% от пиковой, что существенно превышает известные результаты решения подобных задач для кластерных МВС. Сравнение результатов решения задачи ранжирования веб-страниц алгоритмом PageRank, полученных на РВС “Арктур” и суперкомпьютере Fugaku, а также результатов решения СЛАУ методом Якоби на РВС “Арктур” и графическом ускорителе NVidia Tesla K40 подтверждает теоретические выводы.

When processing high-dimensional matrices with an irregular structure, the realperformance of cluster multiprocessor computing systems (MCS) is low and even with the use of special processing methods does not exceed 30%. To effectively process large matrices with an irregular structure, it is possible to use reconfigurable computing systems (RCS), for which the authors proposed a method for processing large sparse unstructured (LSU) matrices, due to which real performance was achieved close to 50% of the peak. The article describes a modification of the developed method for processing LSU matrices, which is characterized by parallel processing of non-zero row elements and allows doubling the speed of the computing structure with a slight increase in the occupied hardware resource. The modified method of processing LSU matrices on an RCS provides real performance close to 90% of the peak, which significantly exceeds the known results of solving similar problems for cluster MCS. Comparison of the results of solving the problem of ranking web pages using the PageRank algorithm obtained on the “Arcturus” RCS and the Fugaku supercomputer, as well as the results of solving the SLAE using the Jacobi method on the “Arcturus” RCS and the graphics accelerator NVidia Tesla K40 confirms the theoretical conclusions.

The rapid development of physical and infrastructure projects in Indonesia necessitates efficient building materials. Mortar, a standard construction material comprising fine aggregate, water, and cement, has strength, environmental resistance, and flexibility limitations. This study investigates using epoxy resin as a substitute for cement in mortar production. Epoxy resin, a liquid material that hardens into a strong binder, offers potential benefits such as accelerated setting time and increased strength. The research uses river sand as the fine aggregate and varies the epoxy resin content from 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% of the material volume. Tests will measure compressive strength, split tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity across different epoxy resin compositions. Results from Tanjung Pura University's Materials and Construction Laboratory in Pontianak indicate that adding epoxy resin significantly improves compressive strength (up to 35.92 MPa at 25% resin) and tensile strength (up to 3.82 MPa at 25% resin). However, adding epoxy resin leads to a decreased modulus of elasticity, indicating increased deformability. This research sheds light on epoxy resin's impact on mortar strength and informs potential applications in concrete repair and construction.
