Published: December 2023

This research aims to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of soft soil stabilized using industrial wastes, namely fly ash and rice husk ash. For this purpose, 6 (six) variations in the composition of fly ash (F), lime (L), and rice husk ash (R) were prepared. The variations in sample composition are SFLR1 (F: 15%, L: 2.5%, R: 5%), SFLR2 (F: 20%, L: 2.5%, R: 5%), SFLR3 (F: 25%, L: 2.5%, R: 5%), SFLR4 (F: 15%, L: 5%, R: 10%), SFLR5 (F: 20%, L: 5%, R: 10%) and SFLR6 (F: 25%, L: 5%, R: 10%). Meanwhile, soft soil was obtained from Banjarmasin City in South Borneo. The sample's physical properties were analyzed using the Atterberg limit test. Moreover, the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and direct share tests are conducted to assess the sample's mechanical properties. The research results can provide confidence that fly ash, lime, and rice husk ash have the potential to improve the physical and mechanical properties of Borneo soft soil. The results of the Atterberg limit test show that industrial wastes can lower the liquid limit and increase the plastic limit; thus, the soil plasticity index decreases. As for the CBR test results, the untreated soft soil bearing ratio value of 1.4% can be increased to 2.6% after being treated with industrial wastes. In addition, using industrial wastes also decreases the swelling of the soil. Moreover, it can be seen that greater use of fly ash can improve the mechanical properties of the soft soil. However, increasing the composition of lime and rice husk ash can reduce the mechanical properties of the soft soil. Based on the experimental results, it is proposed to use SFLR3 as soil stabilization mixtures.

Published: December 2023

Cowpea seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) is one of the most common and economically important pests of stored cereal products worldwide. Furthermore, these beetles can act as vectors for several fungal post-harvest diseases. The current research aimed to isolate the fungi associated with adults of C. maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae). The present study aimed to isolate and identify fungi associated with adult insects and evaluate their potential as biocontrol agents against the cowpea beetle, C. maculatus. In this study, we collected C. maculatus adults from the Babylon local market and five regions (Hilah, Mahaweel, Al-Mashrou', Al-Haswa and Al-Musayyab) with no history of insecticide exposure. A potato dextrose agar medium was used to isolate the fungi attached to the surfaces of adult beetles. By Morphological and microscopic examination, Molecular identification and Sequencing analysis, Twenty-seven genera of fungi were isolated and identified from adult C. maculatus, including Aspergillus, Penicillium, Candida spp, white mycelium, Curvularia, Cladosporium, Chaetomium, Stachybotrys, Rhizopus, Drechslera, Scopulariopsis, Paecilomyces, Mucor, Geotrichum candidum, Streptomyces, Sarocladium, Beauveria bassiana, Talaromyces varians, Sporothrix flocculasa, Pseudozyma flocculasa, and Isaria fumosorosea. The molecular weights of the PCR products for the fungi isolates ranged from 650-700 bp, and the amplified ITS1-5.8S-ITS4 rDNA region of indigenous entomopathogenic fungal isolates showed a high sequence similarity (99-100%) with B. bassiana and M. anisopliae deposited in the NCBIGenebank. The phylogenetic tree analysis of the ITS region sequences showed a high degree of similarity between the isolates under study, ranging from 96.5-100. However, there were differences in the lines among clades, indicating genetic variation possibly due to mating or mutations in different environments. Our study suggests that the storage pest, C. maculatus, would be essential in spreading fungal contaminants and consequently increasing mycotoxin contamination in stored Cowpea.

Measuring Heart Rate Accurately in Patients With Parkinson Disease During Intense Exercise: Usability Study of Fitbit Charge 4
Authors: Colonna Giulia , Hoye Jocelyn , de Laat Bart , Stanley Gelsina , Ibrahimy Alaaddin , Tinaz Sule , Morris Evan D
Published: December 2023

Background

Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting approximately 1% of the world’s population. Increasing evidence suggests that aerobic physical exercise can be beneficial in mitigating both motor and nonmotor symptoms of the disease. In a recent pilot study of the role of exercise on PD, we sought to confirm exercise intensity by monitoring heart rate (HR). For this purpose, we asked participants to wear a chest strap HR monitor (Polar Electro Oy) and the Fitbit Charge 4 (Fitbit Inc) wrist-worn HR monitor as a potential proxy due to its convenience. Polar H10 has been shown to provide highly accurate R-R interval measurements. Therefore, we treated it as the gold standard in this study. It has been shown that Fitbit Charge 4 has comparable accuracy to Polar H10 in healthy participants. It has yet to be determined if the Fitbit is as accurate as Polar H10 in patients with PD during rest and exercise.

Objective

This study aimed to compare Fitbit Charge 4 to Polar H10 for monitoring HR in patients with PD at rest and during an intensive exercise program.

Methods

A total of 596 exercise sessions from 11 (6 male and 5 female) participants were collected simultaneously with both devices. Patients with early-stage PD (Hoehn and Yahr ≤2) were enrolled in a 6-month exercise program designed for patients with PD. They participated in 3 one-hour exercise sessions per week. They wore both Fitbit and Polar H10 during each session. Sessions included rest, warm-up, intense exercise, and cool-down periods. We calculated the bias in the HR of the Fitbit Charge 4 at rest (5 min) and during intense exercise (20 min) by comparing the mean HR during each of the periods to the respective means measured by Polar H10 (HRFitbit – HRPolar). We also measured the sensitivity and specificity of Fitbit Charge 4 to detect average HRs that exceed the threshold for intensive exercise, defined as 70% of an individual’s theoretical maximum HR. Different types of correlations between the 2 devices were investigated.

Results

The mean bias was 1.68 beats per minute (bpm) at rest and 6.29 bpm during high-intensity exercise, with an overestimation by Fitbit Charge 4 in both conditions. The mean bias of the Fitbit across both rest and intensive exercise periods was 3.98 bpm. The device’s sensitivity in identifying high-intensity exercise sessions was 97.14%. The correlation between the 2 devices was nonlinear, suggesting Fitbit’s tendency to saturate at high values of HR.

Conclusions

The performance of Fitbit Charge 4 is comparable to Polar H10 for assessing exercise intensity in a cohort of patients with PD (mean bias 3.98 bpm). The device could be considered a reasonable surrogate for more cumbersome chest-worn devices in future studies of clinical cohorts.
Characterizing and Comparing Adverse Drug Events Documented in 2 Spontaneous Reporting Systems in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada: Retrospective Observational Study
Authors: Lau Erica Y , Cragg Amber , Small Serena S , Butcher Katherine , Hohl Corinne M
Published: December 2023

Background

Robust adverse drug event (ADE) reporting systems are crucial to monitor and identify drug safety signals, but the quantity and type of ADEs captured may vary by system characteristics.

Objective

We compared ADEs reported in 2 different reporting systems in the same jurisdictions, the Patient Safety and Learning System–Adverse Drug Reaction (PSLS-ADR) and ActionADE, to understand report variation.

Methods

This retrospective observational study analyzed reports entered into PSLS-ADR and ActionADE systems between December 1, 2019, and December 31, 2022. We conducted a comprehensive analysis including all events from both reporting systems to examine coverage and usage and understand the types of events captured in both systems. We calculated descriptive statistics for reporting facility type, patient demographics, serious events, and most reported drugs. We conducted a subanalysis focused on adverse drug reactions to enable direct comparisons between systems in terms of the volume and events reported. We stratified results by reporting system.

Results

We performed the comprehensive analysis on 3248 ADE reports, of which 12.4% (375/3035) were reported in PSLS-ADR and 87.6% (2660/3035) were reported in ActionADE. Distribution of all events and serious events varied slightly between the 2 systems. Iohexol, gadobutrol, and empagliflozin were the most common culprit drugs (173/375, 46.2%) in PSLS-ADR, while hydrochlorothiazide, apixaban, and ramipril (308/2660, 11.6%) were common in ActionADE. We included 2728 reports in the subanalysis of adverse drug reactions, of which 12.9% (353/2728) were reported in PSLS-ADR and 86.4% (2357/2728) were reported in ActionADE. ActionADE captured 4- to 6-fold more comparable events than PSLS-ADR over this study’s period.

Conclusions

User-friendly and robust reporting systems are vital for pharmacovigilance and patient safety. This study highlights substantial differences in ADE data that were generated by different reporting systems. Understanding system factors that lead to varying reporting patterns can enhance ADE monitoring and should be taken into account when evaluating drug safety signals.
Exploring Generation Z and Young Millennials’ Perspectives of a Spiritual Self-Care App and Their Spiritual Identity (Skylight): Qualitative Semistructured Interview Study
Authors: Park Susanna Y , Yourell Jacqlyn , McAlister Kelsey L , Huberty Jennifer
Published: December 2023

Background

Generation Z and young millennials (ages 18-35 years), collectively referred to as GenZennials, are connected to technology and the internet like no other generation before them. This has mental health implications, such as increased rates of anxiety and stress. Recent research has shown that app-based mental health interventions can be useful to address such mental health concerns. However, spirituality is an untapped resource, especially since GenZennials largely identify as spiritual and already integrate spiritual practices into their self-care.

Objective

There were four objectives to this study: (1) comprehensively explore reasons why GenZennials use a spiritual self-care app (ie, Skylight; Radiant Foundation), (2) understand how GenZennials identify spiritually, (3) understand the app’s relevance to GenZennials, and (4) gather feedback and suggestions to improve the app.

Methods

Semistructured interviews were conducted with 23 GenZennials (ages 18-35 years; mean 28.7, SD 5.0 years; n=20, 87% female) who used the Skylight app. Interviews were 30 to 60 minutes and conducted on Zoom. Thematic analysis was used to analyze interviews.

Results

Five major categories emerged from the analysis, each encompassing one to several themes: (1) reasons for using the Skylight app, (2) content favorites, (3) defining spiritual identity, (4) relevance to GenZennials, and (5) overall improvement recommendations. Participants used the app for various reasons including to relax, escape, or ground themselves; improve mood; and enhance overall health and wellness. Participants also cited the app’s variety of content offerings and its free accessibility as their primary reasons for using it. Most participants identified themselves as solely spiritual (8/23/35%) among the options provided (ie, spiritual or religious or both), and they appreciated the app’s inclusive content. Participants felt that the app was relevant to their generation as it offered modern content (eg, spiritual self-care activities and short content). Participants recommended adding more personalization capabilities, content, and representation to the app.

Conclusions

This is the first study to qualitatively explore GenZennials’ perspectives and the use of a spiritual self-care app. Our findings should inform the future creation and improvement of spiritual self-care apps aimed at cultivating GenZennials’ spiritual and mental well-being. Future research is warranted to examine the effects of using a spiritual self-care app on GenZennial mental health.

Authors: Manne Sharon , Wu Yelena , Buller David , Heckman Carolyn , Devine Katie , Frederick Sara , Solleder Justin , Schaefer Alexis , Lu Shou-En
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Middle childhood (ages 8-12 years) is a critical period for forming behavioral habits and reducing the risk for the development of skin cancer later in life. During this time, children develop more autonomy and spend more unsupervised time away from their parents. Professional agencies recommend that all children engage in regular sun protection behaviors and avoid the sun during peak daytime hours. Unfortunately, in middle childhood, child sun protection often declines and UV radiation exposure increases. Effective parenting involves balancing ways to encourage the child’s increasing independence while providing practical assistance to ensure sun protection is implemented.

OBJECTIVE

The goal was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of Sun Safe Families, a Facebook group intervention for parents of children between 8 and 12 years of age.

METHODS

The team developed Facebook messages targeting parent knowledge, normative influences, sun safety barriers, planning and goal setting, confidence in implementing sun safety, communication, forming habits, and managing sun safety in risky situations. A total of 92 parents were enrolled, and the groups ran for 6 weeks. Feasibility was measured by enrollment and retention rates. Acceptability was measured by engagement in the Facebook groups. Satisfaction was assessed by a treatment evaluation. At pre- and post-intervention, parents completed measures of child sun protection, UV radiation exposure, sunburn, sun safety knowledge, child risk, barriers, sun protection self-efficacy, planning, sun safe habits, norms for child sun safety, and communication about sun safety.

RESULTS

Enrollment (64.3%, 92/143) and retention (94.6%, 87/92) were good. On average, participants viewed 67.6% (56.8/84) of posts, “liked” 16.4% (13.77/84) of posts, commented on 14.8% (12.43/84) of posts, and voted on 46% (6.4/14) of polls. Satisfaction was excellent. From pre- to post-intervention, there were significant increases in child sun protection, sun exposure, and sunburn (P<.01; moderate effect sizes), as well as statistically significant increases in planning and self-efficacy (P<.05) and family norms and parent communication (P<.01).

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrated high survey retention, acceptability, and satisfaction with the intervention. There were promising preliminary effects on child sun protection behaviors and parent sun protection attitudes and communication with their child. Replication with a larger sample size and a comparison condition is warranted.

Authors: Santana de Oliveira Heythor , Lopes da Rocha Anne Kathleen
Published: December 2023

A busca pelo primeiro emprego e a dificuldade de inserção de pessoas sem experiência no mercado de trabalho são dois dos desafios da juventude brasileira. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar as principais exigências de ingresso de jovens em vulnerabilidade no mercado profissional e elaborar um plano de programa visando facilitar essa inserção. Partindo da perspectiva de quem está inserido no mercado, buscou-se definir aspectos essenciais a serem desenvolvidos pelos jovens a fim de facilitar sua inclusão em vagas que não exigiam experiência prévia. Para identificação do problema e elaboração do projeto, foram utilizadas ferramentas do "design thinking" (DT), como definição de espaço-problema e espaço-solução, sintetizando a necessidade de se construir, como produto resultante, um plano de programa que contemplasse princípios de empatia (consideração de contextos), colaboração (escuta e participação) e experimentação (ideação do projeto de programa). Foram identificadas três áreas fundamentais para o programa, baseadas na escolarização formal, desenvolvimento de habilidades interpessoais e construção de práticas trabalhistas. As três áreas formam o escopo do programa de desenvolvimento e inclusão, sintetizados em uma estrutura analítica de projetos, desenvolvida enquanto protótipo deste trabalho.

Las competencias informacionales y la evaluación de la docencia universitaria
Authors: Licea de Arenas Judith , Antonio Gómez José
Published: December 2023

Las universidades tienen la responsabilidad de educar a sus estudiantes. Sin embargo, es un hecho que se evalúa principalmente la actividad investigadora del docente universitario, pero no tanto su docencia que incluye cuánto aprenden los estudiantes, si estarán en disposición de aplicar lo aprendido en un empleo, y si estarán formados para una vida profesional llena de cambios, de necesidades de aprendizaje permanente y de adquisición de nuevos conocimientos e información durante su vida. Los enfoques formativos de las universidades tienen que contemplar la posibilidad de incorporación de competencias de gestión y uso de la información, así como reconsiderar un mayor reconocimiento de la docencia, la adquisición de métodos pedagógicos activos y la participación de los bibliotecólogos en actividades de aprendizaje.

Authors: Aldianto mau awang  , Ida Bagus Komang Mahardika  , Anak Agung Ngurah Mayun Wirajaya
Published: December 2023

Kacang hijau memiliki keunggulan dibandingkan tanaman pangan lainnya dalam hal agronomi dan ekonomi, seperti: (1) umur yang lebih pendek antara (55-65 hari) dapat dipanen, (2) lebih tahan kekeringan dengan kebutuhan air yang relatif kecil untuk pertumbuhan kacang hijau, yaitu 700-900 mm/tahun. Pada curah hujan yang lebih rendah dari itu, masih bisa tumbuh karena berakar dalam, (3) dapat ditanam di lahan yang kurang subur dan menyuburkan tanah karena bersimbiosis dengan rhizobium dan menghasilkan biomassa sebanyak-banyaknya (11-12 t/jam), (4) metode budidaya yang mudah adalah pengolahan tanah yang cukup minim dan benih ditaburkan, (5) serangan hama kurang berpenyakit dan (6) harga jualnya tinggi dan stabil. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh jarak tanam dan aplikasi kotoran kelinci terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman kacang hijau (Vigna radiata L). Desain eksperimental yang digunakan adalah dengan desain acak kelompok dan analisis uji F (analisis varians) pada.  Penelitian ini dilakukan di Subak Rapuan, Desa Mas,  Kecamatan Ubud,  Kabupaten Gianyar dengan ketinggian 400 mdpl. Pelaksanaan penelitian dimulai dari bulan Maret - Juni 2022. Berat segar benih tertinggi pada perlakuan jarak tempuh (J3) dapat disebabkan oleh jarak tanam yang lebar dan aplikasi pupuk yang optimal. Jarak tanam yang lebih luas memberikan ruang untuk akses ke sinar matahari, suhu udara, dan kelembaban udara yang dapat berkontribusi pada pertumbuhan dan perkembangan tanaman.  Jarak tanam yang lebih luas akan mengurangi persaingan yang lebih tinggi sehingga dengan jarak tanam J3, mengurangi terjadinya persaingan hara sehingga unsur hara yang diberikan melalui pemupukan K3 akan terpakai dengan baik oleh tanaman.   Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa dosis kotoran kelinci sebesar 15 ton/ha-1 memiliki efek terbaik terhadap pertumbuhan kacang hijau sehingga memberikan hasil yang tinggi dibandingkan dengan dosis 5 ton/ha-1 dan 10 ton/ha-1. Berat segar benih per tanaman sangat didukung oleh adanya korelasi dalam jumlah polong (r = 0,889**) panjang polong (r = 0,828*) dan jumlah biji (r = 0,921**).

Review the Legal Subject Status of Buyers in Underhand Sales of Mortgage Objects
Authors: Fauzi Fahrul
Published: December 2023

The Mortgage Law regulates three types of execution of mortgage rights, namely Title Executorial, Parate Execution, and Underhand Execution. In the underhand execution, it is important to pay attention to the buyer's legal subject of the mortgage's object. This article examines the buyer's legal subject of the mortgage's object in underhand sales in the framework of the execution of the mortgage. The buyer's legal subject is important, considering that the national land law stipulates that the status of the land determines the status of the subject who can own it. This study uses normative juridical research methods using sources of legislation and other secondary legal materials. This study found that the underhand execution of the mortgage object must be carried out by considering the legal conditions of buying and selling land, both material and formal. Material requirements in the form of the importance of the legal subject status of a land buyer are essential things that need attention. If the material requirements are not met, the sale and purchase are null and void by law. The legal subject status of the buyer of the mortgage object must see the provisions in the Basic Agrarian Law or its derivative provisions to ensure that he has the right to hold land with the status of the rights in question.

Published: December 2023

This study focuses on the design implementation and performance analysis of concrete-steel composite structure of a four-story Kutus-Kutus Factory, a facility for the production of herbal oils, built in the seismically active Gianyar district of Bali. In order to create an efficient, fully composite cross section, the design process uses an analytical approach that emphasizes the relationship between the concrete slab and steel beams as well as the design of each of these components. The structure was designed and assessed in accordance with Indonesia Building Standard guidelines for minimum load, earthquake-resistant, and concrete and steel based material requirements. The final results of the design confirmed that the composite performance is strong enough to withstand enormous loads combined in industrial buildings, particularly in seismically active areas, and can operate within the recommended safety margins and restrictions. This paper ends with a call for more research on the real application of composite structure design in Indonesia, which can then assist the rapidly expanding Indonesian construction industry in maximizing the advantages of using composite construction techniques.

Published: December 2023

The continuity of the banking business in Indonesia is of great concern considering the important role of banking for the economy, especially during difficult times such as during a pandemic. In banks that have gone public, a going concern audit opinion is one of the audit opinions to avoid because it relates to doubts about the going concern of a business entity, so it is important for business entities, especially banks, to pay attention to every factor that can influence it both in terms of firm size, capital, the growth of bank assets is related to the profit and soundness of the bank from the LDR (loan to deposit ratio) side where the author tests these related factors. This study aims to examine the factors related to acceptance of going concern audit opinion in banking companies. A total of 43 banking companies were used as samples and tested using logistic regression. Based on the test results, it was revealed that there is a negative effect on the receipt of a going concern audit opinion on firm growth. Factors viewed from the side of firm size, LDR, capital and firm profits did not show any effect on acceptance of going concern audit opinions in the banking companies studied.

Published: December 2023

Earnings is one of the indicators used in assessing company performance and investment decisions making process. Entities that have high profit does not necessarily have high-quality earnings. This study analyzes the earnings quality of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2021. The sample in this study was 272 companies which were determined using the purposive sampling method. This study uses secondary data, namely financial statements and closing stock price information consisting of 3 days before, the day of publication of financial statements, and 3-days after publication. The study sample analyzed with the Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC). Tests are carried out every year from 2017 to 2021 using the regression test.

One of the objectives of land reform is to hold a fair and equitable distribution of the livelihoods of the peasants in the form of land so that with this distribution a fair and equitable distribution of results can be achieved. The purpose of this land reform is realized through the determination of the minimum area and maximum area of agricultural land ownership with certain rights by one family or legal entity. Prohibition of agricultural land ownership in absentee is a prohibition on ownership of agricultural land located outside the area where the owner lives. One of the efforts to prevent absentee land ownership is the existence of an Electronic Identity Card. However, the implementation of the transfer of rights based on the sale and purchase of agricultural land, with the implementation of the E-KTP, was not carried out perfectly. This research aims to examine the implementation of the absentee sale and purchase of agricultural land rights using E-KTP in Bangli Regency. The research method used is empirical legal research and the research locations were held in Bangli Regency, PPAT and the Bangli Regency Land Office. The results of this research showed that the implementation of an E-KTP nationally, still cannot overcome the ownership of agricultural land in Bangli Regency by people who have addresses outside the Bangli Regency sub-district and still carry out the process of changing addresses so as not to cause absentees.

This study aims to determine the authority of a Notary as a Class II Auction Officer in the perspective of the Notary Position Act and to determine the legal consequences for a Notary who makes a minute of an auction who is not a Class II Auction Officer. This study employs normative legal research, utilizing the Legislation approach and Legal Concept Analysis (both analytical and conceptual approaches) as well as the Legislative Approach (statute-based approach). The results of this study are the harmonization of authority arrangements for Making Auction Minutes in terms of the Notary Position Act and auction regulations can be carried out using the lex specialist derogate legi generalist principle which is used in the Auction Rules as the basis for the authority to make Auction Minutes, which is contained in the Auction Officer, not the Notary. Although a Notary may be appointed as a Class II Auction Officer according to Article 7 of the Auction Instruction jo. PMK Class II Auction Officer, but the authority is given in the capacity of a Notary as a Class II Auction Officer who has been appointed by the Minister of Finance. Because a notary who has not been appointed as a Class II Auction Officer is not allowed to make a Minutes of Auction. The legal consequences for a Notary who makes auction minutes who is not a Class II Auction Officer will result in the degradation of the status of the auction minutes from an authentic deed to an auction minute which is only a private deed. The degradation of the status of the auction minutes from an authentic deed to a private deed will of course have other legal consequences, namely if the auction minutes are degraded into a private deed, then the auction minutes will no longer have perfect evidentiary power like an authentic deed.

Tautan Politik Antara AAM Dengan Konstituen di Dapil Tulungagung II dalam Pemenangan Pileg Kabupaten Tulungagung Tahun 2019
Authors: Barito David Kamaluddin El , Rohman Ahmad Zaki Fadlur
Published: December 2023

Dalam sistem pileg proporsional terbuka, hubungan antara caleg dengan konstituen menjadi faktor primer yang menentukan elektabilitas mereka dalam kursi parlemen. Terlebih pada wilayah dengan jumlah penduduk tinggi menyebabkan adanya upaya keras bagi seorang caleg untuk menebarkan pengaruhnya di masyarakat walaupun dengan cara-cara inkonstitusional. Akibatnya, patologi demokrasi secara perlahan akan timbul dan merusak sistem politik yang ada. Maka dari itu, model pendekatan caleg kepada konstituen dinilai menjadi hal penting untuk dikaji. Tidak terbatas pula pada AAM yang merupakan caleg dengan keterpilihan tertinggi yang berhasil mengalahkan 107 orang pesaingnya dari 13 partai politik yang berbeda pada Pileg Kabupaten Tulungagung tahun 2019 di Dapil Tulungagung II, yang merupakan Dapil dengan jumlah penduduk terbanyak se-Kabupaten Tulungagung, sehingga yang demikian ini menjadi tanda tanya mengenai pendekatan seperti apakah yang ia terapkan untuk meraih kemenangan tersebut. Secara fundamental, penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan metode wawancara mendalam dan studi dokumen sebagai teknik pengumpulan datanya, yang kemudian divalidasi dengan teknik triangulasi sumber berdasarkan Political Linkage Theory oleh Herbert Kistchelt sebagai pisau analisisnya. Adapun dari penelitian tersebut, diperoleh hasil bahwa adanya kecenderungan AAM dalam menggunakan clientelist linkage sebagai model pertautan politiknya dengan tiga bentuk pertukaran, pertama, hadiah langsung berupa uang, sandang, pangan, dan barang lainnya; kedua, akses spesial berupa keuntungan dalam urusan publik melalui lembaga publik; dan ketiga, akses istimewa terhadap pekerjaan di sektor publik/swasta yang diatur oleh pejabat publik. Selain itu, dalam penelitian ini ditemukan dua fakta “kontradiktif” antara asumsi teori dengan realitas yang terjadi di lapangan, yakni pertama, tidak adanya penargetan tertentu atas pihak-pihak penerima barang/jasa dalam pertukaran politik, sehingga barang/jasa tersebut tetap diberikan walaupun kepada konstituen yang secara politis tidak terprediksi arah keberpihakannya; kedua, terjadinya pembelotan oportunistik oleh konstituen kepada AAM walaupun suatu kontrol pertukaran telah ia lakukan secara iterasi.

The interaction between the type of organic fertilizer with the dose of KNO3 (P×K) and the type of organic fertilizer (P) had no significant effect (P≥0.05) on all observed variables. KNO3 (K) dose treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on tuber fresh weight per clump, tuber oven dry weight per clump and harvest index; no significant effect (P≥0.05) on other variables. KNO3 dose of 100 kg/ha (K2) gave the highest tuber fresh weight and oven dry weight per clump, namely 65.16 g and 6.38 g; which increased by 77.64% and 90.44% when compared to the lowest fresh weight and oven dry weight of tubers per clump obtained at the KNO3 dose of 50 kg/ha (K1), namely 36.86 g and 3.35 g.
