Authors: Othman Mohamed Ali , Ragab Abdel-Shafy Ibrahim , Elseaudy Alia Ahmed Mohamed , Sayed Lamiaa Mustafa Kamal
Published: November 2022

Thirty-three percent of the world's farmland is subject to drought, making it the most difficult abiotic stress on rice production. Ten different M4-rice mutants were tested, along with three check varieties (Giza 179, Sakha 107, and IET1444 - International check variety for drought stress), to see how well they fared in drought conditions. These genotypes were tested in well-watered (WW: irrigation every 4 days), water-stressed (WS1: irrigation every 8 days), and severe water-stressed (WS2: irrigation every 12 days) conditions across generations M5 to M8. Drought stress was measured regarding its effect on agronomic traits and drought tolerance indices. Of the ten tested mutants, seven high-tillering mutants had higher yields under normal and stress conditions than the check varieties did in the field. The STI, MP, YI, and GMP indices show that, compared to IET444 (DT check variety), the mutant EN25 performed best under drought stress, followed by the mutant EN27. According to the data analysis of SCoT markers, only 34 of the 46 primers used amplified 377 bands (alleles) across 53 different markers. There was a wide range of genetic similarities among mutants, parents, and the check varieties, and it ranged from 17% to 78%. These seven mutants shared 13 common bands with the most drought-tolerant check variety (IET444) using SCoT markers, which indicates that these mutants carried some drought-tolerant genes. Hence, these mutants hold great potential for use in drought-stressed rice breeding programs.

Authors: Azwihangwisi Mashau , Usapfa Luvhengo , Letsoalo Simon
Published: November 2022

The future and welfare of mango farmers are important and if mango farmers can apply agribusiness behavior, namely perseverance, resilience, hard work, saving, carefulness, discipline, and respecting time, they stand a better chance of survival during a pandemic. How mango farmers’ livelihood will be going forward is, yet unknown since many aspects such as economic, physical, financial, and human factors of their way of earning a living are affected hugely by Covid-19. This study was conducted to determine the socio-economic nature of mango farmers in Vhembe district Limpopo province, determine the livelihoods of mango farmers after the Covid-19 pandemic, and identify challenges that mango farmers encountered during the Covid-19 pandemic. Descriptive statistics and household were employed to help analyze the results from the collected data. In the study area, 77% of the farmers were males and pensioners since they were above the age of 60. Currently, mango farmers are highly impacted by the outbreak of Covid-19 in terms of production and marketing their products, thus these changes in their livelihood and their survival in farming are in the line since 54% of the farmers currently have access to loans, which makes it easy for them to cover for their loss of income. The government should ease up other restrictions on farmers to enable them to farm and issue necessary support to those farmers who have lost the least they had due to Covid-19. Concerning access to information about Covid-19, the results of the study posit the significance of the relationship between finance and human capital, which the study recommended that the government should subsidize the farmers.
Host-delivered-RNAi-mediated resistance in bananas against biotic stresses
Authors: Das Panchashree , Nanda Satyabrata
Published: November 2022

Both the biotic and abiotic stressors restrict the yield potential of many crops, including bananas. Bananas belong to the genus Musa and are the world’s most popular and widely produced fruit for their nutritional and industrial importance. The demand for bananas is growing each day worldwide. However, different pest infestations are hampering the production of bananas, making it a matter of concern for global food security. Several biotechnological tools and applications including RNA interference (RNAi) have been employed to enhance the biotic stress resistance in plants. The capacity to silence targeted genes at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels makes the RNAi technique a popular choice for gene knock-down and functional genomics studies in crops. Silencing of different suppressor molecule coding genes through RNAi helps crops to combat the detrimental effects of plant pathogens. The host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) technology, also known as the host-delivered RNAi (HD-RNAi), is nowadays gaining popularity due to its ability to target an array of pathogens, comprising bacteria, nematodes, fungi, viruses, and insects. This methodology is employed to manage disease pest outbreaks in a diverse range of crop species, including bananas. Besides HIGS, virus-induced and spray-induced gene silencing (VIGS and SIGS, respectively) are the potential approaches where RNAi technology is exploited to control plant-pathogenic diseases. The current review emphasizes the different kinds of diseases of bananas and the potential of HD-RNAi, a new-age and promising technology to build a barrier against significant crop and economic loss.

Published: November 2022

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting systems, which are the prominent tools for biofabrication, should evolve around the cutting-edge technologies of tissue engineering. This is the case with organoid technology, which requires a plethora of new materials to evolve, including extracellular matrices with specific mechanical and biochemical properties. For a bioprinting system to facilitate organoid growth, it must be able to recreate an organ-like environment within the 3D construct. In this study, a well-established, self-assembling peptide system was employed to generate a laminin-like bioink to provide signals of cell adhesion and lumen formation in cancer stem cells. One bioink formulation led to the formation of lumen with outperforming characteristics, which showed good stability of the printed construct.

Authors: Wetzel Deborah , Cartaxo Fátima , Poppi Ricardo , Lafuente Mariano
Published: November 2022

This technical note documents the Continuous Payroll Audit Initiative within Brazils Court of Accounts (Tribunal de Contas da Unio, or TCU), presents its lessons learned, and makes recommendations that could improve its results. This initiative uses digital tools such as data analytics to proactively identify and address incorrect and/or illicit payments in the federal civil service and pension payroll. As of 2021, the initiative had led to savings close to $R 2 billion (US$515 million). The study demonstrates that a small team using the right technology can be very effective in rooting out irregularities in a complex system. However, technological innovation is not sufficient to address these issues. Broader systemic reforms in information collection and compliance are required for the system to fully achieve its goals. Given these results, this case could serve as reference for other supreme audit institutions around the world that are seeking to combat fraud and corruption.
Saskatchewan Francophone language and culture in the 21st century
Authors: Isaeva Ekaterina
Published: November 2022

The study of the problems of linguistic territorial variation is associated with an understanding of the historical and geographical causes and conditions of the existence of the same language in various regions of the planet. The French language is not homogeneous not only on the territory of different countries, but also within one country, for example, Canada. Residents of the French-speaking province of Québec speak and write in the French-Québec version, in Ontario - in French-Ontario, in Manitoba - French-Manitoba, etc. The province of Saskatchewan, formed in 1905, has a minor community of Francophones, who for a century resisted the policy of suppression of the French language and language assimilation imposed by the federal government, preserving their native French at the level of home and communal communication, creating Francophone educational and cultural societies. Today, Franco-Saskatchewans (Fransaskois) continue to develop linguistic and cultural traditions, defend their linguistic rights, and position themselves as original representatives of the Francophone world.
The Impact of Intellectual Ideologies in Shaping the Urban Townscape from the Middle Ages to the Contemporary: The City of Baghdad Between Yesterday and Today
Authors: Al-Musawi Mahmood Hussein , Al-arab Neda Khalil Ibrahim , Abdulwahid Sabaa Mujtaba
Published: November 2022

Intellectual ideological transformations affect the formation of the townscape, which in turn affects the narratives of the townscape constantly, as cities undergo various transformations, including natural and sudden forced ones, through economic and social processes; accompanied by structural changes in its urban scenes to a different formal model, reflecting the spirit of the age. The townscape is the reflective text that highlights the city in the form of a serial vision and scenes that carry the effects of the past and simulate the era, where the townscape is basically built through successive visions. The research deals with the difference in the concept of intellectual ideals from the Renaissance era based on perspective and artistic concepts to technology-based aesthetics in the international style, as this led to a change in the integrated coherent scene (the traditional scene) to the technology-based scene (the technological scene), and the latest discontinuity in the narrative of the story line. The landscape in urban city centers has both intellectual and physical levels. The discontinuity occurs in the townscape at the intellectual and material levels, when the concept of aesthetics and ideals varies in different periods of time. The research aims to study the impact of the entry of different intellectual trends (ideals of each era) on the townscape, in Al-Rasheed Street in Baghdad, during different periods of time. And reading the state of interruption in the scene and its impact on the perception of the recipient.
Analysis of the Capacity of a Double Rating Curve to Reproduce the Flows Measured by Doppler Fixed at the Bottom of an Ice Covered River
Authors: Eloumou Landry Mballa , Berenger Ypou
Published: November 2022

The classic approach for estimating river flows is based on the use of a rating curve, which links the flow rates to the water heights measured at a gauging station. This simple approach, has practical and economic advantages but also has limitations related in part to the difficulty of obtaining a representative range of flows, particularly in the presence of ice cover. The objective of this study is to show how it is possible to improve the results obtained by a traditional rating curve using the validated measurements of the Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter (ADVM) of the Argonaut SW (shallow water) Doppler obtained in continuous, in the presence of ice sheet. The proposed methodology consists in filtering and validating the height measurements provided by the standard gauge as well as the speed and height the measurements provided by the Doppler SW. The validated measurements are then split into two parts: The first part is used for the calibration of a double rating curve that links the series of validated levels obtained by the standard limnimeter, to the flow obtained from the Doppler SW. The second part is used to evaluate the capacity of the double rating curve obtained during the calibration, and to estimate the flow measured by the Doppler SW. The double rating curve thus calibrated reproduces the flow measured by the Doppler SW with an average deviation of 5.03%. In the presence of ice cover, this average difference is 7.68%. These results show the interest of a combined use of the Doppler SW and the double rating curve, for monitoring river flows under ice cover. The Doppler SW makes data available, necessary to calibrate a reliable rating curve, based on a wide range of flow variations covering the winter period.

Published: November 2022

This article analyzes the content of the chemical composition of groundwater and wastewater of the Tengiz deposit located in the Zhyloy district of Atyrau region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This analysis is necessary to determine the deposition of inorganic salts in oilfield equipment. The analysis shows that the content of chloride anions and magnesium cations prevails in groundwater and wastewater. Thus, the content of chloride anions exceeds the content of other anions up to 2-3 times of sulfate anions in groundwater and wastewater and up to 2.5-5 times of bicarbonate anions in groundwater and 17-27 times in wastewater. Among the cations, the maximum values are characteristic of magnesium cations, whose content exceeds the calcium content by more than 3.5 times in wastewater and more than 6.5 times in groundwater. In addition, the magnesium content exceeds more than 5 times the content of the sum of sodium and potassium ions. Thus, according to the results of the study, it was determined that the main salts affecting the oilfield equipment at the Tengiz field are magnesium chloride salts.

Authors: Tirono Mokhamad
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to accelerate the growth and increase the productivity of soybean plants by providing treatment using a magnetic field at the time of seed germination. The research sample was soybean seeds of the Grobogan variety obtained from Center for Research on Various Tubers and Nuts. The magnetic field used in the treatment is in the direction of the magnetic flux density, which changes with time, and the change frequency is 100 times per second. The treatments were given with magnetic flux density from 0.0 mT to 0.5 mT for 20 minutes per day and repeated for five days. Treatment with a 0.1 mT magnetic field resulted in optimum values of germination emergence time, stem growth, chlorophyll content, early flowering time, weight per 10 seeds, and productivity. Treatment with a 0.5 mT magnetic flux density had a negative or no effect on the growth and productivity of soybean plants. Treatment using a magnetic field of 0.1-0.4 mT positively affected soybean growth and productivity, while 0.5 mT did not affect or negatively affect. The treatment of the magnetic field can have positive and negative effects depending on the magnetic flux density used.

The Impact of Directors’ External Connections on Their Compensation
Authors: Kim Sehan
Published: November 2022

Based on a large sample of directors, I find that directors’ external connections are positively associated with the level of their compensation, suggesting that directors are compensated for the value they bring to the firm through their external connections. This association holds after controlling for the various factors such as firm and CEO characteristics, board related governance characteristics, directors’ attributes such as experience and education, industry and year fixed effects, used in prior studies. I also find that the association between the components of external connections and compensation is different for different types of directors. Director Compensation
Annual Report Readability And Corporate Bankruptcy
Authors: Le Maux Julien , Smaili Nadia
Published: November 2022

This study investigates the relationship between a firm’s annual report readability and its probability of bankruptcy. Findings show that firms with a larger 10-K file size have a higher probability of bankruptcy. More specifically, we suggest that there is a curvilinear relationship between annual report readability and bankruptcy probability. However, this relation is not significant for small firms. We further suggest that annual report readability has incremental power in predicting corporate bankruptcy. While prior accounting and finance research mainly used financial and accounting ratios as predictive variables of firm bankruptcy, we add a new non-financial predictive variable to these models.
Deciphering The Seemingly Counter Intuitive Impact Of Firm Innovation On Stock Returns In The Electronics Sector
Authors: Yu Gun Jea , Hong KiHoon , Kwon Kyoung-Min
Published: November 2022

This paper investigates the impact of firms’ innovative activities on stock returns for firms in the electronics sector. The regression analysis provided counter intuitive result that exploitation and exploration are not significant in explaining stock returns. However, further analysis on firm size revealed that innovation have statistically significant explanatory power in the stock returns of relatively large firms, and the effect was negative and positive for exploitation and exploration, respectively. This is consistent with general expectations. The result implies that equity investors may believe that innovation is important for relatively larger firms only.

We explore the relationship between the education and gender of executives and firm performance using mainland China firm data. We find that executive education is positively associated with a firm’s market performance. However, this positive relationship is not moderated by executives’ gender. Our research result is consistent with the existing literature that firm market value increases with executive education, and that executive gender does not matter in terms of the relationship between higher education and firm performance.
Bank Capital Adequacy: The Impact Of Fundamental And Regulatory Factors In A Developing Country
Authors: AlZoubi Marwan
Published: November 2022

This paper provides evidence that the overcapitalized banks are much more sensitive to fundamental factors rather than to the regulatory requirements such the Basle’s Accord requirements, which raises the question of whether Basel’s limits are sufficient to minimize financial crises. Also, keeping buffers against falling below the minimum requirements appear to be of second order importance. Three fundamental factors affect capital adequacy in Jordan; risk, return and activity. Risk indicators drive the capital adequacy ratios downward. Return on average assets (ROAA) has the biggest impact among all factors, banks fuel their capital internally following the pecking order theory, and they also raise capital whenever their activities (loan to asset ratio) improve. Return on average equity (ROAE) is a cost factor; banks avoid issuing capital whenever cost of common equity is high. This paper also provides evidence that systematically important banks hold less capital, a sign of moral hazard.

Published: November 2022

Dewasa ini isu arabisasi dan sekularisasi dinilai sangat mempengaruhi pembelajaran bahasa Arab di Indonesia. Kerancuan masyarakat dalam memandang istilah Arabisasi, islamisasi dan sekularisasi menjadi salah satu penyebab utama buruknya citra pembelajaran bahasa Arab di Indonesia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji ulang dan merefleksi kembali isu-isu arabisasi dan sekularisasi yang mempengaruhi pembelajaran bahasa Arab di Era 4.0. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa arabisasi dan sekularisasi memiliki dampak positif dan negatif terhadap pembelajaran bahasa Arab. Di antara dampak positifnya adalah akulturasi budaya Arab dan Indonesia, menciptakan kemitraan perdagangan yang baik antara orang Arab dan Indonesia, sehingga memotivasi pelajar Indonesia untuk belajar bahasa Arab. Sedangkan dampak negatifnya berupa goncangan terhadap budaya bahasa asli dan terjadinya tribalisme budaya Arab, terdapat pandangan negatif akibat adanya kelompok radikal yang memaksa semua ajaran Islam berorientasi pada bangsa Arab, penggunaan bahasa 'Amiyyah dan perubahan tulisan Arab ke tulisan Latin tanpa penyerapan bahasa. Sehingga peran pengajar bahasa Arab sangat diharapkan untuk mengatasi isu-isu tersebut.

«Correction of names» in understanding the ways of development of the socio-cultural environment of small towns in Russia
Authors:   Institute of Sociology of FCTAS RAS, Moscow, Russian Federation, Voronov Viktor V.
Published: November 2022

The article substantiates the underestimation by a part of the ruling elite of the strategic role of culture (on the example of education, health care and spiritual and moral culture) as a system-forming foundation of Russian society (“the civilizational code of the nation”). The direction of the real development of culture in small towns with increasing demands for the renewal of society in accordance with new external challenges is revealed. The main reasons for the existing Russian reality are shown: the dominance of the market, not commodity-money economy and their apologists in the person of the economic, political and socio-cultural authorities of the country. The main objects of “name correction” in the socio-cultural sphere of society are identified: education, science, health care, spiritual and moral culture and ideology. The necessity of replacing liberal ideology with socialist ideology in the development of the sovereignty of society, expressing the political interests of the popular majority, is noted.

: In the article (using the example of Zvenigorod near Moscow), the author analyzes the consequences of the massive development of provincial Russian cities with apartment buildings. The process under consideration is the strengthening of urban principles in the organization of social provincial life. There is an accelerated urbanization, which leads not only to the transformation of the territorial community both in quantitative (an increase in the number, density and heterogeneity of the population) and in qualitative (lifestyle) parameters, but also to a change in the principles of the organization of social life in the Russian province. The author shows by the example of a city that the conductor of urbanization and the carrier of an urbanized lifestyle is a new social group of residents moving to new buildings in this city from Moscow and other megacities. The members of this new group are carriers of an urbanized lifestyle and have quite high opportunities for the consumption of socially significant goods and services in comparison with the indigenous Zvenigorod residents. It is emphasized that the “urbanized” group occupies a dominant position in the social structure of this territorial community, and its inherent lifestyle becomes decisive in planning the future development of the city.

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) or what is known as congek by the local communities, is an ear disease that often occurs in developing countries. Chronic middle ear infection is accompanied by perforation of the tympanic membrane and fluid in the form of watery, clear, thick, even pus that comes out continuously or occurs for 2 months or more. The purpose of this riset was to analyze the relationship between the area of tympanic membrane perforation and hearing threshold value of CSOM patients at RSU Kaliwates Jember. This research is an observational analytic study with a cross sectional approach using secondary data recorded in the medical records of Kaliwates Hospital for 2019-2020. Data analysis using IBM SPSS Pearson test. This study used 15 ears from 12 CSOM patients obtained by a total sampling methode according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. From the analysis, it was found that there was a positive relationship between the area of the tympanic membrane perforation and hearing threshold value (p-value = 0.004) and had a strong degree of correlation (correlation coefficient value was 0.654).

ABSTRAK

Padi sebagai tanaman pangan nasional sangat memerlukan perhatian sebagai negara agraris sangatlah penting untuk selalu memikirkan dan melakukan inovasi demi tercapainya swasembada pangan nasional. Sebagai tanaman pangan utama di Indonesia, padi memiliki banyak hama dari jenis serangga salah satunya adalah Penggerek batang padi kuning (Scirpophaga incertulas). Enzim adalah sekelompok protein yang berperan sebagai pengkatalis dalam reaksi-reaksi biologis. Enzim dapat juga didefenisikan sebagai biokatalisator yang dihasilkan oleh jaringan yang berfungsi meningkatkan laju reaksi dalam jaringan itu sendiri. Enzim α-Amilase menghidrolisis ikatan α-1,4 glikosidik amilosa, amilopektin dan glikogen. Enzim ini bersifat sebagai endoamilase, yaitu enzim yang memecah pati secara acak dari tengah atau bagian dalam molekul. Berat molekul α-amilase rata-rata ± 50 KD. Enzim ini mempunyai rantai peptida tunggal pada gugusan proteinnya dan setiap molekul mengandung satu gram atom Ca. Kalsium yang berikatan dengan molekul protein enzim, membuat enzim α-amilase bersifat relatif tahan terhadap suhu, pH, dan senyawa seperti urea. Aktivitas α-amilase dapat diukur berdasarkan penurunan kadar pati yang larut, kadar dekstrin yang terbentuk, dan pengukuran viskositas atau jumlah gula pereduksi yang terbentuk. Adapaun metode penelitian yang akan dilaksanakan terdiri dari beberapa pengujian yaitu : isolasi dan pemurnian α-amilase dari penggerek batang kuning, perhitungan protein terlarut, aktifitas enzim α-amilase, pengaruh suhu terhadap enzim α-amilase, pengaruh konsentrasi substrat terhadap enzim α-amilase. Hasil analisa data akan dianalisis menggunakan analisa statistik deskriptif.

Tingkat konsumsi kedelai mengalami peningkatan setiap tahunnya, namun produksi tergolong fluktuatif sehingga tidak dapat memenuhi kebutuhan dalam negeri.  Faktor yang mempengaruhi produksi kedelai adalah OPT (organisme pengganggu tanaman)  salah satunya  Phakopsora pachyrhizi. Pengendalian P. pachyrhizi dilakukan menggunakan APH Bacillus sp. Penambahan pupuk organik menjadi media tumbuhnya mikroorganisme dekomposer dapat meningkatkan jumlah koloni bakteri dan induksi ketahanan tanaman.  Tujuan penelitian adalah mengetahui pengaruh penambahan pupuk organik terhadap populasi Bacillus sp., penyakit karat dan berat biji kering tanaman kedelai. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan bulan Maret-September 2021 di Labolatorium Mikrobiologi Pendidikan Biologi Universitas Jember dan Lahan Pertanian di desa Slawu Kecamatan Patrang Kabupaten Jember.  Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK)  dengan perlakuan 4 pupuk organic pengaplikasian 7,5 ton/ha yaitu K (kontrol), KA (Pupuk vermikompos dosis 0,75kg/m2), KS (Pupuk kompos kotoran sapi dosis 0,75kg/m2) dan KK (pupuk kompos kotoran kambing dosis 0,75kg/m2).  Data yang diperoleh  dinalisis menggunakan ANOVA, apabila terdapat perbedaan nyata dilanjutkan uji DMRT dengan taraf nyata 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penambahan pupuk organic meningkatkan populasi Bacillus sp. sebesar 4,78x199 (koloni biru),  8,80x109 (koloni merah), kompos kambing menurunkan perkembangan penyakit dengan keparahan 30,44% dan efektifitas 13,74% serta meningkatkan berat biji kering sebesar  9,94 gr/tanaman atau 1,24 ton/ha.
PERUBAHAN SENYAWA DAN AKTIVITAS ANTIOKSIDAN PADA RIMPANG JAHE (Zingiber officinale) SELAMA FASE TUMBUH TUNAS

Jahe (Zingiber officinale) merupakan tanaman rempah dan herbal yang dimanfaatkan sebagai minuman atau campuran pada bahan pangan. Jahe memiliki nilai jual yang tinggi karena banyaknya permintaan konsumen baik untuk memenuhi kebutuhan rumah tangga maupun sebagai bahan baku perusahaan jamu dan makanan. Permasalahan utama pada budidaya jahe adalah sulitnya menjaga ketersediaan rimpang benih bermutu dalam jumlah cukup pada waktu yang diperlukan. Permasalah tersebut disebabkan oleh rendahnya mutu bahan tanaman, seperti umur panen dan penyimpanan yang tidak tepat. Jahe mengandung senyawa antioksidan alami yang secara farmakologis cukup tinggi dan mampu menghambat radikal bebas. Senyawa antioksidan yang terdapat pada jahe yaitu senyawa fenolik yang berupa golongan flavonoid, turunan asam sinamat, kumarin, dan asam-asam organik polifungsional. Senyawa fenolik pada jahe yang berperan sebagai antioksidan terdiri dari gingerol dan shogaol. Berdasarkan penelitian sebelumnya menyatakan bahwa penyimpanan pada rimpang jahe berpengaruh dalam kandungan senyawa antioksidan pada rimpang jahe. Begitu pula dengan seiring bertambahnya periode pertumbuhan tunas rimpang jahe maka aktivitas antioksidannya semakin meningkat. Penelitian ini bertujan untuk mengetahui mengenai pengaruh umur rimpang pada umur tumbuh tunas terhadap perubahan senyawa dan aktivitas antioksidan. Data yang diperoleh yaitu pada umur rimpang jahe berpengaruh terhadap perubahan senyawa dan aktivitas antioksidan pada rimpang jahe. Umur tunas jahe yang telah melalui proses penyimpanan tidak berpengaruh terhadap perubahan senyawa dan aktivitas antioksidan pada rimpang jahe.
