SERVANT LEADERSHIP AND PERCEIVED CHALLENGES IN STEM CLASSES: THE REINFORCING ROLE OF PROBLEMS AND MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES
Authors: El-Kassem Rima Charbaji
Published: August 2019

Purpose: This study investigates how high school principals’ leadership can directly and indirectly affect perceived challenges (obstacles) in STEM classes, with specific reference to teachers in Qatar.Design/methodology/approach: A large convenience sample of 424 high school STEM teachers in Qatar was surveyed. Using SPSS and two suitability tests—the Kaisers-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy and the Bartless test of sphericity—the researcher established the construct validity of the instrument. The 11 extracted dimensions were found to be reliable and valid.Main Findings: Findings from a regression analysis show that only 3 out of 11 independent variables are significant in predicting perceived challenges (obstacles) in STEM classes with specific reference to teachers in Qatar. In addition, results of the path causal model reveal that the direct effect of each explanatory variable is strengthened via the effect of the other independent variables.Practical implications: Findings of this investigation provide strategic insights and practical thinking that have important implications for understanding and overcoming challenges (obstacles) in STEM classes as perceived by teachers in Qatar. Moreover, this paper contributes to the limited knowledge about the direct and indirect effects of leadership on such challenges via strategic variables such as classroom problems and classroom management techniques.Originality: Empirically, this article bridges the gap between three fields: leadership, classroom management, and STEM education.

Diszruptív trendek Ázsia kereskedelmében
Authors: Kozák Tamás
Published: August 2019

A technológia kifejezés ma bizonyosan a leggyakrabban használt szó a szakirodalomban, mindemellett a vállalati stratégiai döntések talán legfontosabb meghatározó eleme. Hová kell a korlátos mennyiségben rendelkezésre álló erőforrásokat allokálni a kereskedőknek, annak érdekében, hogy megfeleljenek a digitális világ kihívásainak? A mai összekapcsolt, számítógépesített és kommunikációközpontú világban a megfelelő jövőképpel rendelkező cégek új szabályokat diktálnak a maguk iparágában, mégpedig új e-üzleti modellekkel és új vállalkozáson belüli folyamatokkal. Ezek a cégek arra használják a technológiát, hogy korszerűsítsék a működésüket, reklámozzák a termékeiket, kialakítsák a vásárlói hűséget, végül pedig folyamatosan növeljék a nyereségüket. Kutatásomban egyrészt arra keresem a választ, hogy az ipar 4.0 hogyan befolyásolja a kereskedelmi modelleket és erre milyen példákat találunk az ázsiai üzleti életben. A példákat Tajvan kereskedelmi életéből vettem, hiszen ez az ország jól reprezentálja, mi zajlik a régió legfejlettebb országaiban.
Helyi élelmiszerek piacra jutását segítő árujelzők előírásrendszere
Authors: Nagyné Pércsi Kinga
Published: August 2019

EU szerte a helyi és regionális termékcímkék széles választéka alakult ki, így a fogyasztók azonosítani tudják a helyi származású termékeket. Az Eurobarometer 2016-os felmérése szerint a lakosság nagy része egyetért abban, hogy a címkék alkalmazása hasznos, bár a védjegyek és árujelzők nagy száma, már-már elburjánzása, néhány tanulmány szerint, bizalmatlanságot  ébreszt az élelmiszer minőségbiztosítási rendszerekkel szemben. Hazánkban is sokféle árujelző alkalmazása jöhet szóba a helyi termékek esetén. A cikk célja a védjegyrendszerek sokféleségének bemutatása, a helyi termékek esetében jól alkalmazható védjegyek rendszerezése és minőségbiztosítási funkciójának értékelése a fellelhető nemzetközi és hazai publikációk alapján. Éppen az alkalmazott védjegyek sokfélesége, fogyasztók általi áttekinthetetlensége miatt néhány éve napirenden van egy Európai szintű minőségbiztosítási és címkézési rendszer kialakítása. Hiszen így az alapvető funkcióik kerülhetnek veszélybe, vagyis az, hogy hozzáadott értéket jelentsenek, megkülönböztessék a terméket a versenytársakétól és bizalmat ébresszenek a termékek iránt a fogyasztóban. A Mezőgazdasági Termékek Minőségügyi Rendszeréről szó EU rendelet (2012) már megfogalmazta egy új címkézési rendszer kialakításának lehetőségét a helyi gazdálkodást és közvetlen értékesítés előmozdítására. Ennek a kialakítandó rendszernek a kritériumairól is említést teszek cikkemben.

Published: August 2019

A nivel mundial, México es el principal exportador del chile pimiento morrón (Capsicum annuum). El cultivo es afectado por diversas enfermedades, siendo la marchitez del chile ocasionada por Phytophthora capsici una de las más importantes. Este fitopatógeno posee alta variabilidad en virulencia y sensibilidad a fungicidas. No existen en México estudios sobre poblaciones de P. capsici  para pimiento morrón. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la diversidad de aislados de P. capsici obtenidos de plantas de pimiento morrón con marchitez en Delicias, Chihuahua, México, mediante los marcadores fenotípicos: patrón de crecimiento de la colonia, tipo de compatibilidad, virulencia y sensibilidad a fungicidas. Los tipos de colonia fueron: estrellado (74%), ligeramente petaloide (14%) y radial (12%). Se detectaron aislados sensibles (53%), con sensibilidad intermedia (42%) e insensibles (5%) a mefenoxam. El 86.6% de los aislados inoculados fueron altamente virulentos, produjeron síntomas cuatro días después de la inoculación. Se detectaron los dos tipos de compatibilidad (TC) A1 y A2. Se formaron oosporas in planta al inocular los dos TC detectados en una misma planta. Los resultados sugieren que existe reproducción sexual en campo y como consecuencia variabilidad entre los aislados de P. capsici, responsables de la marchitez en cultivos de chile pimiento morrón en Delicias, Chihuahua, México.

Published: August 2019

Marine organisms are a rich resource of pharmaceutical active compounds which have a wide range of biological activity, including anticoagulant action, immunomodulating action, anti-tumor activity, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, lipid-corrective activity etc. Antivir, Laminaran and Fucoidan derived from Laminaria cichorioides were tested in field conditions, as stimulants of growth and development of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench). Research shows that stimulating effect depends on chemical structure of polysaccharides and on plant species. Antivir, Laminaran and Fucoidan at different concentrations stimulate growth, productivity and morphological traits (plant height, ear length, productive bushiness and others) of barley, wheat and buckwheat. Carbohydrate containing biopolymers derived from the sea algae effect differently upon rutin content in seeds and stems of buckwheat.

Published: August 2019

The study investigated the effect of different elicitors on two varieties of Triticum aestivum (10 days old seedlings) under drought stress. The growth of plants along with various biochemical and antioxidant parameters was determined on 5th, 10th and 15th day of drought stress. Six varieties of wheat viz. RAJ-4120, RAJ-4079, RAJ-3077, RAJ-4238, RAJ-4037 and RAJ-3765 were treated with different elicitors i.e. sodium nitroprusside (0.5mM), salicylic acid (10mM) and silver nitrate (10mM) for six hours before sowing and exposed to drought stress. Chemically primed seeds were sown in pots containing soil along with hydro primed seeds which were not pretreated with any chemical and were used as control. The results indicated that in all the control plants, growth of the seedlings increased with time. In drought stressed seedlings the growth was less than the control plants. Seedlings pretreated with sodium nitroprusside showed the highest growth, biochemical and antioxidant activity. Under drought stress also these parameters were higher in sodium nitroprusside pretreated plants when compared to stressed plants having no pretreatment.

Published: August 2019

Assessment of macronutrient status of soils under five major cropping systems namely, rainfed mango/cashew orchards, rainfed groundnut/mesta cropping, irrigated rice followed by pulses, irrigated rice followed by maize and irrigated sugarcane in Thotapalli irrigation project ayacut area of north coastal Andhra Pradesh was carried out. A total of 125 random soil samples were collected from five different cropping systems from five villages of five Tehsils (mandals) namely, Cheeprupalli, Therlam (both tehsils from Vizianagarm district), Ranasthalam, Regidiamadalavalasa and Laveru (from Srikakulam district). The results of the study revealed that the soil organic carbon (OC), available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sulphur (S) contents of the irrigated land was higher than adjacent rainfed upland, however the exchangeable calcium and magnesium were higher in rainfed uplands and relatively lower in irrigated cropping systems. Significant positive correlation was noticed between percent clay content with available N (r = 0.311**), available P2O5 (r = 0.232*), available K2O (r = 0.473**), available Sulphur (r = 0.249*), likewise organic carbon content also positively correlated with available N (r = 0.456**), available P2O5 (r = O.578**), available K2O (r = 0.211*) and available sulphur (r = 0.298*), while available phosphorous, was negatively correlated with soil pH, EC and CaCO3 contents. The variations in soil properties and nutrient status among cropping systems indicate need for employing integrated and soil test based nutrient management in sustainable manner.

Authors: Ramachandran J. , Ravikumar V. , Lalitha R.
Published: August 2019

In this paper, six drip lateral design methods were selected and a comparative assessment was done to find its practical applicability for finding accurate uniformity coefficient. Step-By-Step (SBS) method, Differential method (DM), Constant Discharge method (CDM), Variable discharge method (VDM), Outlet variation method (OVM) and Statistical method (STM) were the different methods assessed. The percentage relative error in calculating the uniformity coefficient by different methods were obtained as the difference between step-by-step method (true) value and alternate method (observed) value. These errors were tabulated. VDM and OVM method performed well with equal accuracy to SBS method at different slopes. For L=250m, DM method performed well. The STM performed good for down slope and lateral length of 250m with 6 per cent relative error. The method having lesser relative percentage error can be selected by the design engineers for designing the laterals from the relative percentage error tables.

The study was conducted at village level in-situ center, Jawhar block of Palghar district of Maharashtra during the year 2017 and 2018 to characterize 20 accessions of finger millet. Data was collected on morphology, plant growth and yield contributing characters. Traits like erect growth habit (80 percent); semi-compact ear (60 percent); partially enclosed seeds by glumes (60 percent) and light brown colour of seed (75 percent) was found dominant among studied accessions. The results indicated that studied landraces exhibited variability in finger number (6 to 14), finger length (7 to 16 cm) and maturity days (85 to 117). The results of study also showed that productive tiller number was most varied trait (29.37 percent), followed by ear head length (21.98 percent) and finger number (19.42 percent). Among the studied traits, finger width showed the lowest variation (7.65 percent). Analysis of variance showed that all the characters were highly significant among the accessions. This potential gene pool needs to be conserved and may be explored for crop improvement in future.
Critical dimensions of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial behaviour among mushroom growers: Investigation through Principal Component Analysis
Authors: Shirur Mahantesh , Shivalingegowda N. S. , Chandregowda M. J. , Manjunath V. , Rana Rajesh K.
Published: August 2019

Mushroom cultivation is often promoted as profitable and income generating agri-business activity, while there is a very high rate of attrition in mushroom entrepreneurship. Performance of mushroom enterprise as a physical attribute and the entrepreneurial behaviour of mushroom growing farmers as a psychological attribute plays an important role in the success of the mushroom entrepreneurship. Both these variables are in turn influenced by several dimensions rendering it difficult to comprehend the nature of variability observed in them. Therefore, the principal component analysis (PCA) of these two variables was done for variable reduction and to understand their influence on mushroom entrepreneurship. The results of PCA ascertain the relative importance of different dimensions on the variables through Eigen weightages. Based on the findings, suitable strategies and necessary policy interventions are identified to make the mushroom entrepreneurship as a potential agri-business to augment farmers’ income.

Published: August 2019

En este artículo se revisan los aportes de algunos estudios en relación con la enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas originarias, especialmente del mapunzugun. Considera para ello diversas perspectivas, aunque se focaliza en aquellas que emergen desde el propio patrimonio lingüístico. Así, se presentan las propuestas de metodologías de enseñanza dentro de un contexto de revitalización, su relación con la lingüística aplicada y la articulación de esta última con perspectivas de enseñanza de la lengua basada en las epistemologías y metodologías de la lengua vernácula. Junto con ello, se presentan algunas consideraciones críticas respecto del lugar que ocupa el mapunzugun en el contexto del Programa de Educación Intercultural Bilingüe en Chile y una aproximación a los conceptos vernáculos de kimüny rakizuamcomo articuladores claves de cualquier metodología de enseñanza-aprendizaje basada en perspectivas propias. Una conclusión prominente de esta presentación es que es necesario el desarrollo y aplicación de metodologías de enseñanza de la lengua que provengan de la práctica sociocultural de la lengua a revitalizar, relegando a un segundo plano las lógicas teórico/pedagógicas provenientes de la lengua dominante.

Published: August 2019

Coastal areas gather various forms of ecosystems, including coastal forests adjacent to coastal eulitoral zones, swamp water bodies, rivers, and estuaries. The coastal forest of Tabanio Village is a traditional area that has been guarded for generations, in which various types of stands grow, including lontar plants. But the documentation of lontar plants has not been done, while the coastal area began to be developed into tourist attractions. This study aims to document the density of lontar plants in the coastal forests of Tabanio Village, as supporting ecotourism data. Data were collected with a total roaming, with an area size of 800 m x 2,500 m. Data collected are morphology and number of individuals. Morphological analysis is done descriptively, while density analysis is done descriptively quantitative, and is associated with environmental factors. Lontar plants were found with a total of 27 individuals, and the density value is 0.135 per hectare. The main limiting factor for the lack of lontar populations in the region is the high soil moisture compared to previous studies in different places.

This research explores the characteristics and comfort of climate in nature-based tourism areas in Ancol Eco-Park (EPA) (3masl), Bogor Botanical Gardens (KRB)(260 masl) and Cibodas Botanical Gardens (KRC) (1340 masl). Climate characteristics use the Schmidt-Ferguson and Koppen classifications. Calculation of climate comfort scores using TCI and HCI methods and modifying the thermal aspects. In addition to surveys with questionnaires, measurements of temperature, humidity and wind speed were carried out in all three regions simultaneously. Climate classification according to Schmidt-Ferguson obtained by KRB is type A climate, EPA and KRC are type C climate. Classification according to Koppen, the three regions include the climate of the tropical rainforest namely EPA (Am), KRB and KRC (Af). The vegetation component dominates the three tourist areas with a percentage of over 60% of the tourist areas. The climate comfort index based on calculations results in a comfortable KRC area throughout the year while EPA and KRB are comfortable in the dry season. Comparison of comfort index based on calculations with visitor perceptions results in thermal aspects for the tropics needing to be modified. From 12:00-12:59 WIB to 13:00-13:59 WIB, the most uncomfortable hours of the day. Temperature intervals with comfortable categories are 25.2°C - 29.0°C or effective temperatures between 20.5°C - 24.6°C.

Pasang surut laut memiliki pengaruh yang besar terhadap dinamika laut di Indonesia bagian Timur.Oleh sebab itu pemodelan hidrodinamika yang melibatkan pasang surut menajadi kunci penting dalam membantu memahami proses fisis di perairan ini. Penelitian ini memberikan ulasan mengenai pengaruh masukan model seperti kedalaman minimum daerah model dan parameter kekasaran yang diharapkan bermanfaat dalam perkembangan model hidrodinamika di perairan ini. Model hidrodinamika menggunakan ROMS_Agrif dengan memvariasikan nilai kedalaman minimum dan parameter kekasaran. Beberapa data pengamatan lapangan digunakan untuk memvalidasi hasil model. Dari penelitian ini diketahui bahwa perubahan kedua parameter tersebut sangat berpengaruh terhadap hasil model. Hasil model terbaik diperoleh dengan masukan kedalaman minimum sebesar 20 m dan parameter kekasaran bernilai 5 mm. Komponen M2 merupakan komponen pasut yang paling sensitif terhadap perubahan kedua parameter tersebut. Hasil model terbaik secara umum memberikan hasil yang lebih besar dari data pengukuran. Hal ini dapat terjadi karena pengaturan syarat batas model bagian selatan masil belum representatif sehingga masukan energi dari Samudera Hindia tidak teredam dengan baik di bagian utara Australia. Meskipun demikian, hasil model dapat diperbaiki dengan meningkatkan resolusi model.

Four Pitfalls in Sleep and Memory Research and How to Avoid Them
Authors: Nemeth Dezso , Gerbier Emilie , Janacsek Karolina
Published: August 2019

Understanding the complex relationship between sleep and memory is one of the biggest challenges in neuroscience. Thousands of studies on memory consolidation suggest that sleep triggers offline memory processes, resulting in less forgetting in declarative memory and performance improvement in non-declarative memory. However, an increasing number of contradictory findings reveal potential issues with how research is conducted in this field, that weaken the reliability of these results. Here we describe four methodological pitfalls with respect to experimental designs and statistical analyses that should be avoided in order to unveil the true effect of sleep on memory consolidation: non-optimal experimental designs, task complexity, fatigue effect in repetitive tasks, and data analysis and availability. We then offer solutions that can be used in future research of sleep-dependent consolidation and also more broadly in memory research.

Published: August 2019

Case:

Two patients presented with infections of their recent proximal humerus fracture sites. These immunocompromised patients were being treated nonoperatively for their proximal humerus fractures; however, both were taken to the operating room for surgical debridement.

Conclusions:

These 2 cases demonstrate the need for further investigation into infection of closed fracture sites. Attention should be paid to immunocompromised patients who present with proximal humerus fractures, especially displaced 2-part surgical neck fractures with anterior deltoid injury and subsequent hematoma formation. These patients may develop an infection with potential rapid progression to life-threatening septic shock.

Introduction

Female sex workers (FSWs) are marginalized due to social rejection and stigma, especially in countries where the practice is illegal. Many FSWs are mothers but little is known about their utilization of maternal services. This study investigated the determinants of utilization of maternal services by FSWs in Uganda.

Methods

FSWs were recruited from the “Most at-Risk Initiative” clinics in Uganda. We analyzed data for 318 FSWs who had given birth within two years of the study to estimate the proportion of FSWs who used all the components of maternal services (antenatal, facility-based delivery and postnatal). The outcome variable (utilization of maternal services) was categorized as “recommended package” if the women received all the three services, “moderate” if they received any two and “limited/none” if they received only one or none of the services. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to quantify the impact of pregnancy planning and other factors on the utilization of maternal services.

Results

Overall, 25.2% (80) utilized all the three services in the recommended package of maternal services, 47.5% (151) had moderate utilization, while 27.3% (87) utilized limited or no services. Factors that influenced utilization of the recommended package compared to “limited/none” use were having a planned pregnancy (adjusted RRR (aRR) = 3.87; 95% CI = 1.40-10.67), knowing four as the minimum number of ANC visits (aRR = 2.43; 95% CI = 1.22-4.87), never having been criminalized for sex work (aRR = 2.48; 95% CI = 1.30-4.74) and not believing that health providers deny services to FSWs believing (aRR = 2.63; 95% CI = 1.37-5.07).

Conclusion

These findings confirm the relevance of pregnancy planning in the utilization of maternal services among FSWs. However, maternal health service utilization was generally low and interventions to reduce barriers including inadequate knowledge of ANC visits, internal stigma and criminalization of sex work are required. These are necessary steps in the move towards universal health coverage.
