Published: May 2024

Supply chain risk management is the process of detecting, analyzing, and managing risks associated with a company’s supply chain. Risk reduction is implemented throughout the supply chain of SME that manufacture character pillows, doormats, floor mattresses, and scouring pads. This company's supply chain has various issues, including variations in client demand, volatility in the number of products produced, and the company's failure to effectively oversee the supply chain, which results in decreased quality and decreased customer satisfaction. The goal of this study is to use the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) approach to mitigate supply chain risk and develop solutions to minimize or eliminate supply chain risk with the highest RPN and risk score. The risk mitigation approach was employed in this study, with three stages: risk identification, evaluation, and risk analysis, as well as establishing a risk mitigation strategy. The FMEA approach of risk mitigation yielded the three highest RPN (Risk Priority Number) values of the 31 supply chain concerns. These three dangers are inaccuracies in the number of products produced, consumer complaints against companies, and rapid changes in production orders. Our findings theoretically highlight the risks that arise in SME supply chain operations, such as planning, sourcing, manufacturing, delivery, and return. Meanwhile, organizations can use the research findings to coordinate their supply chain plans.

Kelulusan tepat waktu merupakan salah satu cara menilai kualitas sebuah perguruan tinggi.  Artikel ini membahas penerapan analisis diskriminan dalam menentukan kelulusan mahasiswa dengan mempertimbangkan lima indikator utama, yaitu Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK), Pelatihan Pengembangan Diri (PPD), Prestasi, Kegiatan Organisasi (KO), dan Forum Komunikasi Kampus (FKK). Dengan menganalisis data historis, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kontribusi dari masing-masing indikator terhadap kecepatan lulus mahasiswa. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan signifikan antara kelompok responden yang lulus cepat dan tidak lulus cepat dengan indikator IPK sebagai variabel paling efisien dalam membedakan kedua kelompok tersebut. Fungsi diskriminan yang dihasilkan mempunyai nilai ketepatan klasifikasi sebesar 73,3%, sehingga dapat digunakan untuk pengklasifikasian kategori kelulusan. Hasil analisis dapat memberikan wawasan mendalam tentang peran dari setiap indikator, membantu mahasiswa agar lebih fokus dalam meningkatkan IPK, dan memungkinkan institusi pendidikan untuk mengembangkan strategi yang lebih efektif dalam mendukung mahasiswa menuju kelulusan. Pendekatan analisis diskriminan pada lima indikator ini membuka pintu bagi perbaikan kontinu dalam sistem evaluasi kelulusan, menciptakan landasan bagi kebijakan pendidikan yang berorientasi pada hasil dan memberikan dampak positif pada kualitas Pendidikan.

Навчальні моделі глибоко трансформуються із розвитком цифровізації. У сучасних реаліях України студенти мають емоціогенний характер діяльності, викликаний високим ступенем відповідальності, стресогенністю, що вимагає ефективної емоційно-вольової регуляції. Тому важливо використовувати цифрові технології у системі професійної підготовки не лише для якісного формування теоретичних знань та практичних умінь, але й для підтримки емоційного здоров’я студентів у сучасних кризових умовах. Наші розробки включають роботу за допомогою цифрових технологій, яка дозволяє студенту опанувати способи розвитку емоційного інтелекту. Це передбачає гальмування неефективних форм емоційної поведінки, оволодіння прийомами саморегуляції та навичками самоконтролю, акцент на довільних способах управління емоціями та експресивного реагування в кризових ситуаціях, поліпшення навичок міжособистісного спілкування. Дослідження впливу цифрових технологій на емоційне здоров’я студентів під час вивчення математичних дисциплін у кризовому та дистанційному навчанні може допомогти розробити стратегії для оптимізації процесу навчання та підтримки емоційного інтелекту студентів. Для цього представлено використання соціальних мереж для набуття навичок командної співпраці, мобільних додатків для аналізу реальних даних навчальних проектів, інструментів візуалізації та обчислення, веб-платформ для розв’язування прикладних задач, штучний інтелект для наведення контрприкладів, розв'язування задач на ілюстрацію математичних положень, спеціальних програм тестування для оцінювання студентів. Цифрові технології дозволяють у нових кризових умовах створити комфортне середовище, щоб сприяти збереженню емоційного здоров’я та створенню умов безпеки у процесі вивчення фахових дисциплін. Цифрові технології забезпечують швидкий і легкий доступ до освітніх ресурсів, що дозволяє знизити рівень стресу, пов'язаного з отриманням необхідної інформації.

У статті висвітлено актуальну проблему формування умінь і навичок правильного говоріння українською мовою студентів-нефілологів, зумовлену прогалинами методики навчання української мови в закладах вищої освіти і соціальними потребами активної мовленнєвої особистості у підготовці до вимог сучасного суспільства. Запропоновано методику формування умінь і навичок правильного говоріння українською мовою у здобувачів закладів вищої освіти, що забезпечується знаннями мовних норм, правилами текстотворення, навичками говоріння в різних ситуаціях спілкування під час продукування публічних висловлювань. Зосереджено увагу на вдосконаленні мовних норм (орфоепічних, акцентних, лексичних, словотвірних, граматичних, стилістичних), важливих для продукування умінь і навичок говоріння в умовах публічного (монолог, діалог, полілог) висловлювання думок мовця. Вказано шляхи ознайомлення студентів із текстотворчими особливостями і практичним умінням формування умінь і навичок продукування висловлювань, якими мають оволодіти оратори під час створення монологічного тексту, та співрозмовники діалогічного (полілогічного) спілкування, що позитивно впливають на якість продукування говоріння здобувачів вищої освіти. Досліджено й доведено, що бар’єрами якісної комунікації залишається неправильне слухання й розуміння почутого партнером, нерозуміння мети та завдань говоріння, прогнозованих результатів, предмета спілкування тощо. Запропоновано систему вправ для формування умінь і навичок говоріння у процесі вивчення української мови за професійним спрямуванням студентів-нефілологів. Система вправ для формування умінь і навичок говоріння стосується удосконалення умінь продукування монологічного діалогічного (полілогічного) мовлення. Основними з них є: мовно-мовленнєві вправи (спрямовані на вдосконалення мовних норм у процесі продукування говоріння); умовно-мовленнєві; власне мовленнєві, націлені на продукування говоріння під час створення публічних текстів.

Reducing Hallucinations in Large Language Models Through Contextual Position Encoding
Authors: Desrochers Sarah , Wilson James , Beauchesne Matthew
Published: May 2024

In natural language processing, maintaining factual accuracy and minimizing hallucinations in text generation remain significant challenges. Contextual Position Encoding (CPE) presents a novel approach by dynamically encoding positional information based on the context of each token, significantly enhancing the model's ability to generate accurate and coherent text. The integration of CPE into the Mistral Large model resulted in marked improvements in precision, recall, and F1-score, demonstrating superior performance over traditional positional encoding methods. Furthermore, the enhanced model architecture effectively reduced hallucination rates, increasing the reliability of the generated outputs. Comparative analysis with baseline models such as GPT-3 and BERT confirmed the efficacy of CPE, highlighting its potential to influence future developments in LLM architecture. The results underscore the importance of advanced positional encoding techniques in improving the performance and applicability of large language models across various domains requiring high factual accuracy.

Published: May 2024

Gordon Moody opened a women’s residential treatment facility for harmful gambling in the UK in 2021, responding to a growing need for residential treatment for women experiencing gambling harm. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of the programme. 68 women who attended residential treatment between November 2021 - November 2023 were evaluated for their gambling behaviours using the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), psychological distress levels using Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (Core-10), anxiety and depression before and after treatment. Women were support by trained therapists and support workers and took part in group and individual therapy sessions including: cognitive-behavioural therapy; motivational interviewing; interpersonal group therapy; and art therapy.PGSI scores significantly dropped from an average of 21.2 (N=64) to 5.9 (N=54) after treatment, and remained at a level of 5.9 three months later (N=31). Core-10 scores dropped from 18.8 (N=68) before treatment to 8.9 (N=57) after treatment, rising to 13.1 three months after treatment (N=29). Before treatment, the majority of women scored above the clinical threshold for anxiety (80.4% of women) and depression (78% of women). These levels fell significantly after treatment (44.4% of women scored in clinical range for anxiety and 47.7% for depression).Participating in this programme reduces the level of gambling severity and levels of anxiety and depression, and improves psychological wellbeing, in women suffering from gambling harm.

***New Versions Uploaded on 28 June, 2024 and 10 July, 2024 to add a section on the contributions of each author to the paper and disclaimer for copyright infringement purposes respectively.*** This paper presents a meta-model of the Theory of Everything (TOE), melding science, social science, art, mathematics, engineering, and other seemingly disparate areas of study together into a single theoretical framework, a clear departure from the common approaches of developing the TOE using physical and mathematical methods in Physics. In the Internet Model of the Theory of Everything (iTOE), the TOE is proposed as a new discipline of study for developing Fundamental Theory (Standard Model) of any field/discipline. The iTOE Model simply states that Consciousness-Energy (CEN) is everything that really exists, meaning all things (whether living or non-living), including all fields and disciplines, are all manifestations of a single entity/matrix: Consciousness-Energy. The iTOE uses a set of interdisciplinary, intradisciplinary, transdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and crossdisciplinary approaches to building the TOE in Consciousness Science and is the first of its kind in existence. It is a network theory — a new approach to the TOE, which entails internetworking and interconnecting all fields and disciplines modelled as networks/webs using CEN. The TOE is built based on Eight Axioms, the Axioms of Everything (AxioE), as its core, with a new algebra, Temic algebra, the Algebra of Everything (AlgebroE), and new numbers, Temic numbers, the Numbers for Everything (NumoE), harmonizing, unifying, and standardizing all fields and disciplines using CEN as the Universal Language — the Language for Everything (LoE). So, just like there is the Standard Model of Particle Physics, the Standard Model can also be developed for any field/discipline, be it science, social science, humanities, or any other discipline using Consciousness Science as the tool. The iTOE is developed as one of the programs of the research project called CENProject using African Indigenous Knowledge Systems (AIKS). The Model has applications across all spheres of life and will spur new technological breakthroughs in all fields/disciplines. Also, it helps create a unified (common) standard for all fields/disciplines facilitating pedagogical understanding and scholarly collaborations across diverse fields and disciplines.
Unique composition and evolutionary histories of low velocity mantle domains
Authors: Panton James , Davies J. , Koelemijer Paula , Ritsema Jeroen , Myhill Robert
Published: May 2024

The two `large low velocity provinces' (LLVPs) are broad seismic wave speed anomalies in Earth's lower mantle beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean. Recent research suggests they represent volumes that contain relatively dense subducted oceanic crust (SOC), but the distribution of recycled material within them is an open question. Using simulations of 3-D global-scale mantle circulation over the past 1 Gyr, we find that simulated large low velocity provinces (S-LLVPs), with similar properties and locations to LLVPs, develop as a consequence of the recycling of SOC. The Pacific S-LLVP is enriched in SOC by up to 53% compared to the African S-LLVP and is therefore more dense, potentially explaining topological differences between the two structures. Shear wave velocity reductions in the two domains are similar due to the dominating influence of temperature over composition. Differences in melting ages between the two S-LLVPs reveal distinct formation histories, where the Pacific S-LLVP is maintained by a steady replenishment of young SOC, while the African S-LLVP comprises older, well mixed material.
Two Wrongs Make 1 Right: The Role of Retaliatory Incivility in Conferring Social Rewards
Authors: Osborne Merrick Robinson , Omrani Ali , Abdurahman Suhaib , Trager Jackson , Dehghani Morteza
Published: May 2024

Incivility is largely denounced; yet, our focus on its ills have inhibited our ability to determine when incivility could garner rewards. We propose that rude actors are conferred more social rewards when they respond to another’s incivility (i.e., retaliatory incivility) relative to when incivility is unprovoked, because retaliatory incivility is seen as more virtuous. To test these hypotheses, we used observational data from Reddit (2,252,607 comments) to compare how many social rewards users were granted when they responded uncivilly to civil or uncivil posts from other users. We then experimentally confirm our hypotheses in a sample of Reddit users, as well as two samples of participants from different contexts of group incivility; sports fans, and employees. Together, our findings challenge conventional wisdom: retaliatory incivility, far from being disparaged, can be a surprising path to social reward. Our findings have far-reaching practical implications, too, as incivility continues to rise internationally.
Endometriosis challenges in adolescents: a narrative review and a call for collective awareness
Authors: Bollinger Laura , Gavens Nathalie , Escriva-Boulley Géraldine
Published: May 2024

This narrative review aims to synthesize current knowledge about endometriosis in adolescents. It highlights the barriers to early diagnosis and the significant impact of the disease on physical and mental health, affecting adolescents’ social and educational lives as well as their general well-being. Using PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar, we identified and analyzed 56 articles, including quantitative and qualitative studies, meta-analyses and systematic reviews. Endometriosis can appear as early as the first menstrual period. However, the disease is usually diagnosed much later. Trivialization of menstrual symptoms and stigmas shared within society are one of the main obstacles to early diagnosis.A multidisciplinary approach, incorporating awareness-raising and health education not only for adolescents, but also for their social environment, would enable a better understanding of endometriosis and consequently reduce the delay in diagnosis. This would improve pain management and enhance the quality of life of adolescents. This narrative review highlights the need for a holistic approach integrating education to improve early recognition of endometriosis in adolescents. It concludes with the need for further research to better understand the specificities of the disease in young patients and develop effective strategies to promote their health.

Published: May 2024

Children with cochlear implants (CIs) exhibit significant variations in terms of auditory and language development. Therefore, it is crucial to predict individual-level post-CI outcomes and provide early interventions to those who may experience limited benefits from CIs. Our study used preoperative neuroanatomical features to predict auditory development in Chinese-learning children with CIs. The whole-brain structure of Chinese-learning pediatric CI candidates was examined by voxel-based morphometry analysis. Machine learning was employed using neuroanatomical features to predict children’s auditory skills up to 24 months after CI. The whole-brain neural model and auditory/visual cortex neural model were compared with a non-neural model using gender, age at CI activation, and preoperative residual hearing as predictors. Model performance was quantified using the mean squared error between predicted values and observations. The preoperative neuroanatomical features outperformed the non-neural features in predicting auditory skills in children with CIs. Specifically, the auditory-related area played an important role in predicting post-CI outcomes. These results indicate that neural structure holds the potential to serve as an objective and effective feature for predicting post-CI outcomes.
What Types of Rapes are Reported to the Police? Situational and Spatiotemporal Factors
Authors: Arponen Isabella , Antfolk Jan , Korjamo Riina , Korkman Julia
Published: May 2024

To be able to remove obstacles to reporting rape, such obstacles must first be better understood. In the present cross-sectional survey study, we examined whether situational and spatiotemporal factors were associated with rape victims’ police reporting in Finland. We analyzed the experiences of 185 victims who had visited a sexual assault referral center. We did not identify any associations between situational factors and rape reporting. However, victims who had experienced physical violence and/or use of weapons or been injured were more likely to report if the perpetrator was a stranger compared to a non-stranger. Also, we found limited evidence that the environment might influence reporting. The observed variation in experienced rapes suggests that there is no typical rape. Understanding this can diminish wrongful assumptions about what constitutes rape.

Published: May 2024

Background and Aims: To determine the frequency of multi-vessel disease among patients with First ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction and to identify the cutoff value of N Terminal-Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) for diagnosis of multi-vessel disease. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology at a tertiary care hospital from September 2021 to February 2022. The study included 150 patients who presented to the emergency room with first ST-elevation myocardial infarction and preserved ejection fraction. NT-proBNP levels were tested within 12 hours of hospital admission. The severity of coronary artery disease was assessed by the number of vessels affected labeled, the luminal diameter narrowing and the syntax score. Results: The mean age of participants was 60.60±11.1 years. 76% were men, 53.3% of the participants had hypertension, 44% had type 2 diabetes, and 14% were smokers. The mean BMI of the patients was 27.86±3.86. The mean ejection fraction of the patients was 50±4.5.Single-vessel disease was present in 47 (31%) and 103 (69%) had multi-vessel disease. The mean NT-proBNP level in single-vessel disease was 561.34 pg/mL, and in multi-vessel disease, it was 1640.65 pg/mL. Raised levels of NT-proBNP were significantly associated with the severity of coronary artery disease. (P-value <0.05). The optimal cut-off value of NTpro-BNP for ruling out multiple vessel disease was 947.50 pg/mL at 81% of sensitivity.Conclusion: Pro-BNP is a valuable biomarker in assessing the severity of coronary artery disease in STEMI patients. Its levels have been shown to correlate with the degree of CAD severity including multi-vessel involvement.

Geographic Accessibility to Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Services Across Ontario: A Geographic Information System Analysis
Authors: Charette Marylène , McLean Linda
Published: May 2024

Purpose:

The purpose of this study was to explore the distribution and geographic accessibility of pelvic health physiotherapist services for females in Ontario across an urban–rural gradient.

Method:

A geographic information system-based observational study was conducted. Physiotherapists’ practice locations (supply) were obtained from the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario registrant pelvic health roster. Dissemination area centroids (demand) were calculated based on 2021 Statistics Canada census data for females in Ontario. Locations were geocoded and mapped, and an accessibility score was computed using an enhanced two-step floating catchment area method. A choropleth map was generated with accessibility scores, and results were stratified using an urban–rural gradient.

Results:

Geographic locations of 1172 pelvic health physiotherapists across Ontario were retrieved. The provincial average accessibility score was 1.84 pelvic health physiotherapists (PHPTs) per 10,000 females (range, min-max, 0–26.27 PHPTs). Access to a PHPT is more limited in rural areas and municipalities with weak to no metropolitan influence and higher in census metropolitan areas and larger urban centres.

Conclusions:

Regional disparities in accessibility to PHPT services for females in Ontario exist and should be considered in planning and policy development, particularly to enhance accessibility to females living in rural areas.
MODELING AND FORECASTING CYANOBACTERIAL HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS (CYANOHABS) IN LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN
Authors:   , Mahat Shekhar
Published: May 2024

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) frequently occur in coastal waters worldwide, adversely affecting economies, human health, aquatic ecosystems, and recreational activities. Lake Pontchartrain, an oligohaline estuary, experienced frequent HABs from 2018 to 2023. While NOAA’s NCCOS and USEPA’s CyAN currently monitor cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) in coastal, freshwater, and riverine systems, there is a notable lack of systems monitoring phycocyanin concentrations in the lake. This thesis utilizes satellite remote sensing environmental stressors to model and predict CyanoHABs in Lake Pontchartrain using machine learning techniques. A key focus of this study is assessing the forecasting capabilities of the random forest method in terms of spatial and temporal analysis, with up to a 10-day lead period using various lagged environmental stressors. Eight random forest models are developed based on attribute importance to evaluate the efficacy of the random forest approach within the WEKA software. Level 3 gap-free environmental stressors, such as chlorophyll-a anomaly, chlorophyll-a concentration, sea surface temperature anomaly, cyanobacteria abundance index (CIcyano), light attenuation diffusion coefficient, secchi disk depth, sea level anomaly, and suspended particulate matter, derived from the visible infrared imaging radiometer suite (VIIRS), are employed to reconstruct past harmful algal bloom (Phycocyanin concentration) events from 2018 to 2023. This analysis shows that HABs in Lake Pontchartrain are strongly influenced by the chlorophyll-a anomaly, cyanobacteria abundance index (CIcyano), sea level anomaly, sea surface temperature anomaly, and light attenuation diffusion coefficient. The outcomes of the developed random forest models are compared with NOAA’s NCCOS and USEPA’s CyAN nowcasting cyanobacterial abundance index (CIcyano) to assess their forecasting capabilities against historical HABs events. The models achieved a correlation of 0.8379, 0.8256, and 0.7904 for the 1-day, 5-day, and 10-day lead period, respectively. The analysis of individual time-lagged environmental stressors on HABs demonstrates the models' ability to forecast past HABs events with sufficient lead time, up to 10 days in advance, providing efficient and effective management tools for proactive response and protection of public health in Lake Pontchartrain.

Waqf, or Islamic Trust, embodies the concept of rahmatan lil’alamiin, or compassion for all people and the whole universe. Its benefits run across countries without race or religious limitations. Cross border-waqf is a waqf transaction with international elements that includes parties from different countries and the movement of waqf assets between countries. There are always some legal risks in every cross-border waqf activity, and resolving it is more complex due to obstacles such as the differences in law between countries. The Waqf Core Principles (WCP), as one of the latest waqf international best practices, also has no regulation about legal risk mitigation, dispute resolution mechanism, and the role of waqf authorities in resolving disputes. This paper aims to study commonly practiced dispute resolution methods in international transactions that can support cross-border waqf and investigate the role of waqf authority in conflict resolution. This paper uses the qualitative research method. Resources are obtained from Indonesia's and Malaysia's laws, international laws and rules, and some research related to waqf. This paper examines twelve international organisations, five conventions, and at least six countries, resulting in seven possible ways to resolve conflict in cross-border waqf. The data were gathered and interpreted through exploratory and descriptive methods. The finding shows, among others, the importance of contractual clauses on dispute resolution to mitigate legal barriers in resolving cross-border waqf legal disputes. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is the most efficient method to resolve the conflict and maintain the relationship between parties. Lastly, active participation of the waqf authority as a conciliatory party in resolving cross-border waqf disputes is also crucial. On a practical aspect, this paper’s findings offer dispute resolution options and phases for cross-border waqf.

The chapter is devoted to the study of some socio-economic problems of medical care. This topic is quite relevant due to the fact that currently in our country, optimization and modernization processes have been taking place over the past years in the medical environment and the environment of medical education, the ultimate goal of these processes being achieving a significant quality of medical care to patients. The objects of the study were 200 patients of the Voronezh City Emergency Hospital and Voronezh Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1. All of them were divided into 2 groups depending on gender: 84 men were included in group 1, 114 women in group 2. What was special about this study was the inclusion of only patients with chronic pathology suffering from it for at least 5 years. This moment was used for the patients to give a proper assessment of the changes taking place in the country. The basis of the study was a questionnaire specially developed by the authors, which includes both general questions about the patients' gender, age and the disease they were diagnosed with, as well as special ones concerning awareness of the optimization and modernization processes in medicine in recent years. At the same time, an interesting peculiarity of the study was an attempt to identify the main problems not only of a medical, but also of a socio-economic nature that arise when providing medical care to patients, as well as determining the main vectors of medicine development in general.

In 2022, Chinese elderly population reached 297.8 million, accounting for 14.9% of the total population, indicating that China has entered an aging society. In response, the country has been actively developing strategies to cope with the aging population and expanding elderly education. However, there is a lack of research on senior education in China in Korea. In view of this need, the purpose of this study is to introduce the development process of Chinese elderly education to Korea and to enhance the understanding of elderly education between the two countries. The research questions are, first, to analyze the development process of elderly education in China, and second, to compare the development process of elderly education in Korea and China and suggest the future development direction of elderly education. The research methods used were literature survey and comparative study of elderly education between Korea and China. The results of the study showed that Korea has entered a period of full-scale expansion of lifelong education for the elderly, with Article 20(3) of the Lifelong Education Act of 2023 stipulating the establishment of lifelong education facilities for the elderly. The strength of Chinese elderly education is its emphasis on promoting rural elderly education, centered on the National University for the third Age, and strengthening vocational education for the elderly. In conclusion, the future development direction of elderly education is to establish a system of guaranteeing opportunities for elderly education through a cooperative system of public and private citizens, foster a model of elderly education based on national universities to discover an ideal model of elderly education, develop courses for elderly education based on regional characteristics, and develop and spread high-quality online education.

The increasing population and the demand for soybean consumption in Indonesia are not comparable to soybean production, which is still low. Land conversion and changes in climate patterns that cause drought stress are also triggers for low production. Drought stress can be anticipated by using drought stress-tolerant cultivars at various growth phases. This study aimed to determine the effect of drought stress on yields and yield components of several soybean cultivars. In addition, to determine the soybean cultivars that are most resistant to drought stress. This study was arranged experimentally using a factorial (3x2) split-plot design. The main plot, namely drought stress, consisted of three levels: watering once a day, once every three days, and watering once every six days. The sub-plots were soybean cultivars with three replications consisting of 2 levels, namely Wilis and Anjasmoro cultivars. The selection of these 2 cultivars was made on purpose because farmers had easy access to seeds. Determination of drought stress-resistant cultivars using the stress tolerance index (ITC). Drought stress caused almost all yield and yield component variables to decrease, such as the number of pods, the number of seeds per pod, and the total weight of seeds. Based on the stress tolerance index (ITC), it is known that the Wilis cultivar is more tolerant to drought stress than the Anjasmoro cultivar.

Peranan Dark Septate Endophyte dalam Budidaya Tanaman
Authors: Cahyo Andi Nur

Dark Septate Endophyte (DSE) is a fungus in symbiosis with the host plant and is characterized by the presence of dark pigment, insulated hyphae, and microscleretia. The effect of DSE fungi on the host plant is specific according to the fungal strain, host plant species, and environmental conditions. DSE fungi can colonize host plant roots intra and extracellularly as well as ectendomycorrhiza. In DSE colonization, sometimes it fails to form a dense mantle and hartig net, but instead, it forms melanin microscleretia. The symbiosis between DSE fungi and suitable host plants can increase plant growth, uptake of N and P elements, resistance to drought, extreme temperatures, and protect plants from plant-disturbing organisms. The increase in the uptake of N and P elements was caused by the ability of DSE fungi to produce proteolytic enzymes and phosphatases that can mineralize organic N and P so that they become available to plants. Increased resistance to drought and extreme temperatures is thought to be due to melanin hyphae which can help absorb water from the soil and produce antioxidants and protection against free radicals. In addition, some strains of DSE fungi also produce chlorine to protect plants from plant-disturbing organisms.
