Published: May 2023

Sugar production in Indonesia has decreased by 2.12 million tons (4.65%) in 2020 due to the limited supply of superior varieties. The purpose of this study was to understand the potential of the expected superior clones before being released as new superior varieties. This study was conducted in Sidoarjo, Indonesia which has alluvial soil types. This study used a randomized block design (RBD) with one treatment factor (clone) consisting of clones SB01, SB03, SB04, SB11, SB12, SB19, SB20, and varieties PS 881, and MOJO. Data analysis used 5% ANOVA, 5% least significance difference test, correlation test, genetic diversity test, and heritability test. The results of the analysis showed significant differences with all treatments at 48, 50, and 52 weeks after planting (WAP) in the variable brix while the sugarcane stems weight, rock crystal, and yield were significantly different only at 52 WAP which were tested in multilocation in paddy fields and alluvial soil types. Clone SB01 showed the highest brix value of 26.88%, the highest stem weight of 149.20 tons/ha, the highest yield of 10.63%, rock crystal 15.87 tons/ha, the value of genetic diversity in the moderate category was seen in crystal characters (12.55 %), phenotypic diversity in the moderate category was seen in crystal characters (14.364%) and the heritability value was in the fairly high category in brix characters (0.96%). This study shows that the characters inherited from their parents are relatively stable.

Published: May 2023

Background:

The management of tracheotomy at home can be very complex, affecting the patient’s quality of life.

Objectives:

This case series study aimed to explore the experiences of patients affected by neuromuscular diseases (NMD) concerning tracheostomy and Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV) management at home during the COVID-19 health emergency in Italy.

Methods:

Semi-structured interviews and the following instruments were used: Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25); Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II); State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI); Langer Mindfulness Scale (LMS). Descriptive analyses, correlations, and qualitative analyses were carried out.

Results:

22 patients [50% female, mean age = 50.2 (SD = 21.2)] participated in the study. Participants who showed high levels of dispositional mindfulness in terms of novelty-seeking ( r = 0.736, p = 0.013) and novelty production ( r = 0.644, p = 0.033) were those with higher resilience. The main emotion that emerged was the fear of contagion (19 patients, 86.36%), due to the previous fragile condition, leading to a significant sense of abandonment. The tracheostomy’s perception is seen in extremes as a lifesaver or a condemnation. The relationship with the health professionals moves from satisfaction to a feeling of abandonment with a lack of preparation.

Conclusions:

The relationship between resilience, flexibility, state anxiety and dispositional mindfulness offers ways to reinforce tracheostomy management at home, even in critical periods when going to the hospital may be difficult.
Revisiting Enron twenty years later: Eight executive blind spots worth remembering
Authors: Williams Jay Lennon George
Published: May 2023

It has now been over twenty years since the downfall of the corporate giant, Enron. Yet, researchers continue to ponder the leadership decisions carried out by its executive leadership. How is it that a company poised to become the new benchmark in global business could seemingly implode overnight? How could the executive leadership model strength without weakness, only to be shrouded by blind spots that ensured their ultimate doom and failure? In response, Enron’s downfall was not due to a lack of intelligence or technical acumen. The executive leadership possessed the experience and connections to grow a multi-national organization. The organization had positive inertia and public support. Yet, Enron remains one of the greatest examples of corporate failure and scandal. In this article, I will argue that Enron’s downfall was the result of a series of eight negative cultural artifacts sown deeply into the fabric of the organization by its leadership, resulting in internal chaos and almost total corporate communications failure. I will then provide a best-practice research response to each artifact as to how the leadership at Enron could have saved the organization and achieved its global vision. While culture is not everything in an organization, I believe it shapes the heart. If an executive leadership team gets the culture right, ensuring that employees align their actions with the corporate vision, I believe that profit margins will take care of themselves. While Enron’s fate is sealed, its mistakes continue to offer leadership wisdom by foresight, rather than hindsight.

The article is devoted to the actual problem of the formation of values and value orientations of younger schoolchildren in the context of the elective course "Value world in natural science" developed and implemented by us. The author's elective course, being quite broad in content, has significant opportunities in the development of value orientations of elementary school students in terms of updating the intellectual resource of the dynamics of value orientations. The scientific and methodological support of the elective course is aimed at launching the mechanism for the formation of socially significant values and value orientations.The article describes the subject areas of the elective course and their possibilities in the formation of important social and personal values of primary school students. As a result of the study, we can conclude that this modern elective course, presented in a value-changing nature, has new important opportunities.The main features of the elective course program are its universality (the ability to form several value orientations within different areas, such as a value attitude to health, environmental and national values), relevance for the subject of value-forming and value-transforming activities (the forms and methods of the elective course should be interesting, full of events and new), individuality (a means of forming value-value orientations, taking into account the demanded value system of society and the system of personal value orientations of the individual), interactivity (to have a high degree of interaction not only between subjects of extracurricular activities, but also between subjects and objects of extracurricular activities), resourcefulness (the presence of internal and external pedagogical resources of extracurricular activities for the formation and development of value orientations of younger students). It has been established that the effectiveness of the transformation of the value orientations of younger schoolchildren by means of extracurricular activities depends on a number of factors, the fundamental one being the creation of a system that provides a comprehensive pedagogical impact on the student'spersonality.

The article considersthe problem of choosing a profession and the difficulties that students in the final grades of school have to face. And also,it presentsthe motives for choosing the profession of a psychologist and the value orientations of university students, about the significance of the value approach to the study of life and professional prospects, which is due to the place of value orientations in the structure of life prospects, their role in the process of professional self-determination of the individual. Life goals and plans are the eventual embodiment of value orientations that are at a higher level of the dispositional structure of the personality and, therefore, determine the general social orientation of life. The contradictions that arise against this background lead to a mismatch of life perspectives in the content and chronological aspects.The article focuses ona study conducted at the Faculty of Psychology at Leningrad State University named after A.S.Pushkin and the results obtained during the study:At the beginning of the study, a questionnaire was conducted in order to study the awareness of the choice of profession of first-year students atthe university. It was found that psychologists consciously chose this specialty butwould choose another if possible. The second group -clinical psychologists are confident in the correct choice of this specialty and consciously chose it.In the course of the psychodiagnostic examination of the two groups, there were obtainedfollowing results: after analyzing the two groups using statistical analysis according to the Student's t-test, significant differences were revealed by the methods:1. Questionnaire of terminal values "Father";2. Methodology "Motivation of professional activity";3. E.B. Fantalova "The level of correlation between "value" and "accessibility" in various spheres of life";4. Questionnaire "Socio-psychological comfort of the educational environment of the University."The first and second groups differ in such indicators as external positive and negative motivation.Significant differences between the first and second groups were revealed in terms of such indicators as their own prestige, high financial position, self-development, achievement, andprofessional and family life.Significant differences between the students of the first group and the second group in terms of active life were revealed. For psychologists, this figure is higher, which indicates that an active life position is more important for these students. In turn, significant differences were revealed between the students of the first and second groups in terms of self-confidence and cognition. Psychologists tend to improve their education and expand their horizons.Significant relationships were identified in each group of respondents and there were givenpractical recommendations.

The coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) of 2019 is a public health emergency all over the world, and in particular in our republic. This problem also poses serious questions in the context of psychological health. One of the problems is self-isolation, accompanied by intensive inclusion in the digital information environment, which has led to a deterioration in the psychological well-being of students and the emergence of stress. This article deals with the problem of a low level of stress tolerance of students during the post-COVIDtraining regime.During the coronavirus pandemic, measures were introduced around the world to stabilize the social, economic, and political spheres of life. Nevertheless, the pandemic has harmed both the way people live and their affective states. In this regard, the problem of increasing the stress resistance of students at the present stage is of particular importance.As the COVID-19 pandemic strengthens around the world, all areas of life, including daily activities, education, and economic and social sectors, have experienced significant downturns. While all subpopulations are affected by COVID-19, students are particularly vulnerable given their transition to emerging adulthood surrounded by broad future opportunities. Students are bearing a disproportionate burden ofpsychosocial illness, according to growing evidence, which can be attributed to the uncertainty surrounding the course of the pandemic and the sudden shift to online education. Stress becomes an integral part of student life and leads to violations of behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and motivational areas of activity. In addition, many businesses have reduced their recruitment efforts, leaving limited employment for students and more competition in the graduate labor market. The coronavirus infection hasforced people to stay in their homes for several months, and this is a very difficult task.

This study examines the impact of foreign language pragma-professional communicative competence on the job performance of IT specialists. Pragma-professional communicative competence refers to the ability to effectively communicate technical information in a professional setting. The research suggests that IT specialists with higher levels of pragma-professional communicative competence are morelikely to be perceived as effective communicators by their peers and managers, have higher job satisfaction, successfully complete projects on time and within budget, and have greater chances of being promoted within their organizations. The study concludes that having high levels of pragma-professional communicative competence is crucial for the success of IT specialists in their field, but it's not the only factor for job performance, job-specific technical skills, experience, and problem-solving abilities also play a role. The research design was a mixed approach: focus group interview and correlation. The correlation shows that PPCC has a significant impact on successful project competition and effective collaboration.

Rice is one of the important commodities in indonesia. Analysis of rice genetic diversity is necesarry for the succes of the local rice variety program. This study aims to identify the genetic variability and kinship patterns of 30 rice genotypes (Oryza sativa L.) using six zinc-linked SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) markers. The research was conducted in September - December 2021 at the DNA Laboratory of the Sukamandi Rice Plant Research Center. A total of 30 local rice genotypes with diverse Zinc content have been analyzed using laboratory experiments. The results showed that there were different allele variations (2 – 8) among the genotypes tested with an average number of alleles of 4.5, while the average value of Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) amounted to 0.48 (0.20 - 0.70). 4 SSR markers have PIC values of > 0.5 (RM162, RM38, RM30, and RM80) which show that the markers are informative for the study of rice genetic diversity with Zinc content variety with an average gene diversity value of 0.53. The results of the phylogenetic analysis showed that the 30 genotypes clustered into five clusters with a similar coefficient of 0.68.
CO2 MEASUREMENT IN PALM OIL PLANT IN PEATLAND
Authors: Sebayang Lukas , Marpaung Imelda S
Published: May 2023

Peatlands are one of the contributors to greenhouse gas emissions because it is estimated that the carbon stock stored in them is around 528 Giga tons (Gt) or equivalent to 75% of the total carbon (C) in the atmosphere, so that if peat is oxidized it will cause carbon to be released into the air. The conversion of forest land to agricultural land can be one of the causes, including the activity of making drainage channels. The construction of drainage channels causes a decrease in the water table so that the volume of peat under aerobic conditions increases while increasing the activity of microorganisms in decomposing peat. Peat decomposition and root respiration contribute to carbon emissions. This study aims to determine the CO2 concentration in several conditions of oil palm roots. CO2 measurement by survey method on oil palm plantations, using the IRGA (Infra Red Gas Analyzer). Measurements are carried out once per month from January to May 2020 for 3 minutes. The point of observation was determined by 2 factors with 3 treatments and 3 replications. Factor 1 is the observation point in the area of accumulation of midrib pieces and other litter (B1) and factor 2 is the observation point in the road area around the tree (B2). While the treatments were (A1) natural roots, (A2) roots were cut when the measurements were going to be taken and (A3) roots were cut and permanently restricted. The results of the measurement of the highest average concentration of CO2 changes from 0 minutes to 3 minutes in January were in treatment B1A3 (140.4 ppm), February in treatment B2A3 (103.9 ppm), March B1A3 (124.6 ppm) ppm), April B1A3 (143.8 ppm) and May B1A3 (110.7 ppm). Meanwhile, the lowest concentration of CO2 changes from 0 minutes to 3 minutes in January was in treatment B1A1 (71.5 ppm), February in treatment B1A1 (25.7 ppm), March B2A3 (40.2 ppm), and March B2A3 (40.2 ppm). April B2A1 (30.6 ppm) and May B1A1 (43.2 ppm). From the measurement results, it can be concluded that the highest concentration of CO2 and its changes was in treatment B1A3, namely in the treatment of cutting roots with permanent blocks, while the concentration of CO2 and its reduced changes was in the treatment of natural roots (A1) both in Blocks B1 and B2.

The dynamic of language can be seen from the constant emergence of new vocabulary, which mainly spread among teenagers. Swearing, cursing, and other taboo words are daily among teenagers. Compared to the previous generation, like those born in the 90s, the prominent use of taboo words is now more evident. This study investigated how the benefits of swear terms among high schoolers differ from undergraduate students. Data were collected through direct online interviews via Zoom call. Each participant was asked about the frequently used swear words and their reasons. The data were presented in the qualitative descriptive method. The result showed that high school students use swear words relating to sexuality, animal terms abuse, sexist terms abuse, intellect-based terms abuse, insult, and slur, while college students used the same categories of swear words, except sexist terms abuse. Accordingly, high school students used swear words to show they were mature enough, such as self-expression, humor, social bonding among friends, and a new normal in teenagers’ lives. Meanwhile, college students used swear words as humor, self-expression, and pain relief.
Government-Assisted Syrian Refugees' Perceptions of Dietary Acculturation in Canada
Authors: AL-Rajie Rand
Published: May 2023

Diet acculturation is a complicated process where refugees must discover new ways of consuming traditional foods, adopt new foods, or eliminate other foods from their diets in a host country. The purpose of this phenomenological case study was to explore the ways in which Syrian refugees describe diet acculturation since their arrival to a city in Southern Ontario. Individuals eligible to participate were government-assisted Syrian refugees who were at least 18 years old. Purposive and snowball sampling methods were used to recruit participants. Researcher-constructed, semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were used to collect data in Arabic. Data were recorded and transcribed verbatim in Arabic and then translated to English. Inductive coding, second-cycle coding and thematic analysis were used to analyze the data. Using the dietary acculturation model as a lens, the study found participants sought to maintain a connection to their Syrian identity through food, yet food prices, access, and quality and perceptions of health, along with children’s peer influence resulting in bicultural eating patterns impacted the participants’ experiences with dietary acculturation. The results of the study will assist food and nutrition professionals in understanding dietary acculturation in the Syrian refugee population.
“In China, I live to eat. Here, I eat to live”

Published: May 2023

The population of international students in Canadian post-secondary institutions, including in dietetic programs, is growing. In addition to academic stress, international students must cope with culture change and acculturative stress, which has been found to increase the prevalence of problematic eating and body image concerns among this population. Research indicates that problematic eating and body image concerns may also be relatively high among dietetic students due, in part, to the emphasis on body weight management and the narrow representations of healthy eating, and the disciplinary processes of professional socialization that are characteristic of dietetic education. For international dietetic students, vulnerability to problematic eating and body image concerns may be particularly acute, given their position as both dietetic and international students. However, little is known about the experiences of this population, and if, how and to what extent being an international dietetic student may impact on eating and body image concerns, or what efforts may be needed to prevent and support those experiencing these concerns. This research used the EAT-26 questionnaire and one-on- one, semi-structured interviews to explore how culture change impacts eating and body image among Mandarin-speaking, Chinese international dietetic students. Results indicate that culture change has a significant impact on the relationships to food and on eating and body image among the study population. Further research is needed to elucidate the impacts of culture change, and how dietetic educators may best support international dietetic students.
Feeding Utopia
Authors: Littler Catherine
Published: May 2023

“Household food insecurity refers to the inadequate or insecure access to food because of financial constraints” (Tarasuk & Mitchell, 2020). More than 4 million Canadians are affected by food insecurity (McIntyre, et al., 2016; Tarasuk & Mitchell, 2020). Social factors such as income, are more significant determinants of food security and health than lifestyle choices (Mikkonen & Raphael, 2010).  A Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a financial allowance granted to all working age citizens which ensures that there is a minimum income level, regardless of current or previous employment status (Forget, 2018). The available UBI research and similar programs such as the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) and Old Age Security (OAS) have been shown to reduce food insecurity (McIntyre, et al., 2016, Brown & Tarasuk, 2019). This paper investigates how a Canadian Universal Basic Income could impact food insecurity by acting on the most influential determinant of health: income.

Published: May 2023

Despite the increasing use of experiments in policy-making the suitability of experimenting in the public sector context is still under debate. In this article, we focus on experimenting in the field of tax policy and ask: what are the promises and pitfalls of using experimental approaches in tax policy? While the existing discussions on tax policy experimentation focus on randomized controlled trials from a legal perspective, we adopt a broader view and provide a more comprehensive discussion by synthesizing insights from the fields of political science, public policy, public administration, and governance. Our analysis encompasses randomized controlled trials, non-randomized policy pilots and design experiments. We summarize the existing knowledge on using experimental approaches in policy-making and discuss the implications of the knowledge for experimenting in tax policy. We seek to offer a more holistic and critical take on whether we should promote the use of experimental approaches in this domain.
