Authors: Himawan Garry Christ , Mita Aria Farah
Published: May 2023

Oil palm partnerships between commercial companies and smallholders have been going on since the 1980s. Although the partnership is intended to provide benefits for both parties, there are still many problems. Research on the problems of nucleus-plasma partnerships from the perspective of oil palm companies is still limited, so it needs to be done. This study aims to find the root cause of partnership problems carried out by Company ABC as well as to provide a business strategy to generate sustainable and mutually beneficial partnerships. The research was conducted by looking for the root causes of the low profitability of partnerships conducted with farmers, then looking for solutions to each of the root causes and at the same time strengthening the variables that affect farmer commitment and trust in partnerships. This study using institutional logic theory to evaluate Company ABC's oil palm program partnerships and key mediating variables models from commitment and trust theory to develop strategy. The results of this study include seven points of the root causes within the partnership and three points of the root causes outside the partnership as well as nine points of strategic advice that are expected to increase partnership profitability for ABC companies.

A icterícia se apresenta como a coloração amarelada da pele, esclera e membranas mucosas. Essa mudança na coloração ocorre pelo excesso de bilirrubina no organismo. Cerca de 98% dos neonatos saudáveis podem apresentar, de forma fisiológica, essa mudança na coloração sem existir a necessidade de intervenções. O objetivo foi identificar o manejo do recém-nascido com hiperbilirrubinemia, bem como destacar o diagnóstico, tratamento e complicações associadas a esse evento, comum em neonatos. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica, do tipo integrativa, com abordagem qualitativa, realizada em seis etapas. Foram encontrados 587 artigos na Biblioteca virtual em Saúde e 26 estudos no Google Scholar. Conclui-se que a icterícia pode ser fisiológica ou patológica, e que é importante atenção dos profissionais para identificar precocemente a fim de intervir em tempo hábil, reduzindo os óbitos ou sequelas desse problema, principalmente, a equipe de enfermagem, por ser responsável pelo acompanhamento durante o tratamento e orientações aos familiares.

Published: May 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT) solutions can benefit small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by complementing existing digital technologies. However, digital transformation represents complexity for SMEs because they lack technology readiness. In Colombia, there are initiatives to massify the IoT, but the regulatory environment does not favour IoT adoption. Likewise, the Chief Information Officer (CIO) role is still weak. This document aims to present the value of having a CIO lead IoT-based digital transformation in Colombian SMEs. To this end, we conducted a literature review about IoT adoption in SMEs and the role of the CIO in managing digital transformation. In addition, we studied the public policies in force that addressed digital transformation in Colombia and designed a case study to explain the IoT adoption process that an SME in the trading sector can follow. As a result, we outline three strategic functions of the CIO to lead IoT-based digital transformation in SMEs. Based on the case study, we proposed a digital transformation strategy for SMEs in the trading sector that can inspire the formulation of public policies focused on strengthening the role of the CIO for IoT adoption in small and medium enterprises.

Bu olgu sunumunun materyalini 8 yaşlı bir safkan İngiliz atı oluşturdu. Alınan bilgilerde atın, 6 Şubat tarihinde gerçekleşen deprem sırasında boksunda (4m x 5m) tek kaldığı, sallantıdan ve seslerden ürktüğü ve o günden itibaren boksta dönme stereotipik davranışını sergilediği öğrenildi. İlerleyen günlerde atın, sürekli olarak döndüğü ve bitkin durumda olduğu görüldü. Kilo kaybettiği, çok küçük seslere bile tepki gösterdiği, ürktüğü, bokstan kaçmak için çare aradığı ve saldırgan davranışlarda bulunduğu tespit edildi. Stereotipik davranışın önlenmesi için rasyondaki günlük kuru ot miktarı arttırıldı, boksa plastik top, ayna ve 24 saat çalan radyo kondu. 10 günün sonunda atta seslerden ürkme davranışının devam ettiği, boksta dönme davranışının azaldığı ve yalnızca karanlık saatlerde nadiren sergilendiği görüldü. Bir ay sonra atın sıkıntısız bir şekilde idmanlara devam ettiği, dönme davranışının yalnızca yemleme öncesi ve kısa süreli olarak gerçekleştirdiği belirlendi. Sonuç olarak stres altındaki atlarda gözlenen stereotipik davranışlardan olan boksta dönme olgusunu meslektaşlarımızla paylaşmanın alana katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
The Contribution of Women Farming Workers on Household Income
Authors: Hamidah Emmy , Wahyurini Endang Tri
Published: May 2023

The village of Sugihwaras of Lamongan Regency is an agricultural area where most of the farmers are paddy farmers with female farm workers. One aspect to examine in the area is the role of rural women in agriculture as members of the household, the outpouring of workdays they do for their daily activities, and to what extent this affects their family's farming income. The study aimed to determine the number of working hours and the contribution of female farm labourers to household income. The study employed a simple random sampling of 60 respondents with interview techniques using a questionnaire. The method of analysis was descriptive analysis. The results obtained that the working hours of female farm workers for one year per hectare of the land area were 540 hours, devoted to paddy farming twice annually. The contribution of female farm workers to household income was IDR 1,687,500 per month or IDR48,600,000 per year per hectare, from paddy farming for two growing seasons annually. It is suggested that the amount of working hours and the contribution of female farm workers to household income is very small, so efforts should be made to increase the number of hours they work so that the income they earn can increase. Efforts are being made, namely raising livestock, as well as training in the manufacture of processed by-products of agriculture, for instance by making sweet potato chips and other preparations that can be sold.

Published: May 2023

This research explores the skill of computer-science students in translating technology and computer terminologies. It is a mixture of qualitative and quantitative. The data is collected by a survey. The participants are students of Amikom Purwokerto University. The analysis is executed using the Molina-Albir theory of translation techniques. It is then continued by evaluating the type of equivalency using theory from Kade. The result shows that the students' skill in translation varies. The techniques applied help the students to deliver the meaning from the source text to the target text. Unfortunately, only a half of the whole data reaches the total equivalence because of its changes in the form. Hence, the finding confirms that background knowledge of the participants in technology and computer science is provenly helpful to deliver and interpret the meaning. It also arisen an assumption that the combination of their knowledge and linguistics considerably can help the students in establishing the equivalency. Therefore, it is expected that the findings of the research give the novelty to the translation studies and also for the lecture in giving the lesson and activity for English and translation class because it is beneficial and gives contribution to solve the-real-world challenges.

Published: May 2023

This study was conducted in response to the online teaching practices which demotivate EFL learners in learning English from both the teachers' and students' perspectives so that it can provide an equal point of view. The study was done by distributing a questionnaire to 152 students of the State Islamic Madrasah in Tulungagung, East Java, Indonesia to find data related to those who experience demotivation in learning English and interviewing them in depth both directly and indirectly through voice notes in July to September 2022. The in-depth interview was also done to their English teachers. The result of qualitative data analysis revealed that students were demotivated, bored, and lazy during online learning because of two main factors, namely teachers, i.e., uninteresting teaching methods and techniques, lack of online teaching experience, teacher’s personality, and the usage of the online learning application. Meanwhile, the teachers perceive that their demotivating EFL teaching was resulted from students' learning loss, lack of students' learning involvement, and teachers' feeling insecure caused by some factors, namely the variety of online teaching methods, the accessibility of online learning media, family interference, and students' internal lack of motivation. Still, this demotivating online teaching and learning do not significantly implicate the students' achievement of English. These research results are pedagogically implemented to improve the quality of online teaching and learning English, mainly at the secondary levels.

Published: May 2023

Chestnut is a fruit with high carbohydrate content, low-oil ratio and protein content, including minerals, vitamins, amino acids and phenolic compounds which can have antioxidant properties. It has been determined that the amount and composition of phenolic components could change in according to environmental and growing conditions, and the variety of chestnuts having impact on protein content. This study was conducted to investigate the possible effects of boiling and baking on some physical and chemical properties, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of Osmanoğlu and Sarıaşlama chestnut varieties grown in Bursa. According to the results of the present study, some physical and biochemical properties of raw chestnut were determined as humidity 48.78–56.57 %, ash 1.11–1.27 g 100 g-1, water activity 0.705–0.844, pH 7.03–7.29, color L* 60.52±2,64; a* 0.13±0,18; b* 12.39±1.57. The total phenolic compounds content was 129.17±6.23 mg GAE (gallic acid equailent) kg-1 in raw chestnuts, 180.97±18.25 mg GAE kg-1 in boiled chestnuts, and 149.86±7.95 mg GAE kg-1 in baked chestnuts. Also, the antioxidant capacity found like 0.42±0.01 μmol AAE (ascorbic acid equivalent) g-1 for raw chestnuts, 0.31±0.03 μmol AAE g-1 for boiled chestnuts, and 0.40±0.01 μmol AAE g-1 of baked chestnuts. It was determined that while the application of the boiling process caused a significant decrease in the antioxidant activity of chestnuts, the application of the baking process did not cause any meaningful change on the antioxidant capacity of the chestnuts. It was determined that there was a significant increase in the total phenolic compounds content with the boiling and baking process compared to raw chestnuts.
Meta-Analysis of Abbreviated MRI Scanning Reveals a High Specificity and Sensitivity in Detecting Breast Cancer
Authors: Zhou Bei , He Weiguang , Kaur Jasmine , Cai Qingxia , Bhat Audesh , Liu Qiang
Published: May 2023

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy and the leading cause of mortality among women. Various diagnostic tools for early diagnosis and tumor progression detection have helped patients receive precise and timely treatment. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the accuracy of abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (ABB-MRI) data in the diagnosis of BC. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Comparative Meta-Analysis for Diagnostic Test Accuracy (PRISMA-DTA) guidelines were followed to perform the meta-analysis. Data from articles published in the last 5 years reporting ABB-MRI as a diagnostic tool were collected by searching the relevant databases using multiple subject keywords and free words. Meta-Disc 1.4 software was used to analyze the data and plot the relevant graphs. Results: We identified 1250 articles while searching the relevant electronic databases. After removing duplicate studies and data, the titles and abstracts of 1149 studies were reviewed. A total of 18 publications that satisfied the inclusion criteria were finally included in the meta-analysis. The calculated pooled specificity and sensitivity were 0.90 and 0.87, respectively. This study confirms the ABB-MRI protocol’s high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in malignant breast cancer detection. Conclusions: Abbreviated MRI seems to function as a useful supplement because it is highly sensitive and specific, on par with the full MRI scan, as shown in multiple independent studies as well as this pooled analysis. These findings confirm the utility of ABB-MRI in the accurate detection of malignant BC lesions in high-risk women that cannot be detected by mammography or ultrasound.
The Extracellular Matrix of Yeasts: A Key Player in the Microbial Biology Change of Paradigm
Authors: Lucas Cândida , Silva Coralie
Published: May 2023

Microbes are traditionally regarded as planktonic organisms, individual cells that live independently from each other. Although this is true, microbes in nature mostly live within large multi-species communities forming complex ecosystems. In these communities, microbial cells are held together and organised spatially by an extracellular matrix (ECM). Unlike the ECM from the tissues of higher eukaryotes, microbial ECM, mostly that of yeasts, is still poorly studied. However, microbial biofilms are a serious cause for concern, for being responsible for the development of nosocomial infections by pharmacological drugs-resistant strains of pathogens, or for critically threatening plant health and food security under climate change. Understanding the organization and behaviour of cells in biofilms or other communities is therefore of extreme importance. Within colonies or biofilms, extremely large numbers of individual microbial cells adhere to inert surfaces or living tissues, differentiate, die or multiply and invade adjacent space, often following a 3D architectural programme genetically determined. For all this, cells depend on the production and secretion of ECM, which might, as in higher eukaryotes, actively participate in the regulation of the group behaviour. This work presents an overview of the state-of-the-art on the composition and structure of the ECM produced by yeasts, and the inherent physicochemical properties so often undermined, as well as the available information on its production and delivery pathways.
LRG1 Is Involved in the Progression of Ovarian Cancer via Modulating FAK/AKT Signaling Pathway
Authors: Wu Dongling , Xie Weiwei , Chen Xin , Sun Huizhen
Published: May 2023

Background: Rapid progression and early metastasis remain the main cause of high mortality in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients. The objective of this study was to explore the mechanisms of EOC progression and detect the function of leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) in modulating the pathologic process. Methods: Ultracentrifugation was initially performed to extract exosomes from the urine samples of EOC patients and healthy female subjects. Mass spectrometry (MS) was employed to analyze differentially expressed proteins. Survival analysis was performed to examine the association between LRG1 levels and the prognosis of EOC patients. LRG1 silencing ovarian cancer cell lines were built and cell migration was further evaluated via wound healing and transwell assays. Immunoblot, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry analyses were performed. A subcutaneous tumor model was established to study the function of LRG1 in vivo. Results: Exosomal LRG1 was specifically expressed in urine samples of EOC patients and high LRG1 levels were significantly associated with poor prognosis. Function analyses showed that LRG1 was associated with ovarian cancer migration and progression. Mechanistically, LRG1 was significantly related to the focal adhesion kinase/protein kinase B (FAK/AKT) signaling pathway. Conclusions: LRG1 participated in progression and metastasis of ovarian cancer via activation of the FAK/AKT pathway probably.

Tanggung jawab manusia adalah bekerja untuk Tuhan dalam memelihara dan mengelola lingkungan hidup, bukan mendominasi apalagi mengeksploitasinya. Teologi seperti ini juga pernah dirumuskan dalam KTT Bumi di Rio de Janeiro tahun 1992. Kesadaran bahwa seluruh ciptaan berharga di mata Tuhan, membawa kita untuk membangun sikap solidaritas dengan alam. Kita memperlakukan lingkungan hidup sebagai sesama ciptaan yang harus dikasihi, dijaga, dipelihara, dan dipedulikan. Kita memandang lingkungan hidup dengan sentuhan kasih sebagaimana sikap Tuhan.

Getting In Touch with Touch: The Importance of Studying Touch in MDMA-Assisted Therapy and the Development of a New Self-Report Measure
Authors: Luoma Jason B , Allen Luke Roy , Gold Veronika , Stauffer Christopher
Published: May 2023

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is currently being tested as an adjunct to psychotherapy in multiple controlled trials, including two completed Phase 3 trials. If approved by regulatory authorities, MDMA could become a legally available medicine used in the context of psychotherapy, i.e., MDMA-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT), within the next couple years. The treatment manual that has been used for MDMA-AT research trials holds that touch is an important part of the therapeutic process, yet there has been no empirical evaluation of how touch functions in MDMA-AT and little research on touch in psychotherapy in general. Concerns about the use of touch in combination with MDMA include fears that it could intensify power imbalances or contribute to boundary crossings and unethical behavior. This paper focuses on the need for empirical evidence to guide the application of touch as an intervention in MDMA-AT. We review the existing literature on touch in therapy and outline the development of a new measure of client perceptions of touch in MDMA-AT, the Touch Outcomes Measurement Inventory (TOMI). As the use of therapeutic touch in MDMA-AT may soon be more widespread, it is imperative that researchers begin to evaluate how touch affects clients. The measure we have created can be used by researchers and program evaluators to assess how touch is affecting their patients and further evidence-based and ethical guidelines for the use of touch in MDMA-AT.
Contributions of Listening Effort and Intelligibility to Cortical Tracking of Speech in Adverse Listening Conditions

Published: May 2023

Cortical tracking of speech is vital for speech segmentation and is linked to speech intelligibility. However, there is no clear consensus as to whether reduced intelligibility leads to a decrease or an increase in cortical speech tracking, warranting further investigation of the factors influencing this relationship. One such factor is listening effort, defined as the cognitive resources necessary for speech comprehension, and reported to have a strong negative correlation with speech intelligibility. Yet, no studies have examined the relationship between speech intelligibility, listening effort, and cortical tracking of speech. The aim of the present study was thus to examine these factors in quiet and distinct adverse listening conditions. Forty-nine normal hearing adults listened to sentences produced casually, presented in quiet and two adverse listening conditions: cafeteria noise and reverberant speech. Electrophysiological responses were registered with electroencephalogram, and listening effort was estimated subjectively using self-reported scores and objectively using pupillometry. Results indicated varying impacts of adverse conditions on intelligibility, listening effort, and cortical tracking of speech, depending on the preservation of the speech temporal envelope. The more distorted envelope in the reverberant condition led to higher listening effort, as reflected in higher subjective scores, increased pupil diameter, and stronger cortical tracking of speech in the delta band. These findings suggest that using measures of listening effort in addition to those of intelligibility is useful for interpreting cortical tracking of speech results. Moreover, reading and phonological skills of participants were positively correlated with listening effort in the cafeteria condition, suggesting a special role of expert language skills in processing speech in this noisy condition. Implications for future research and theories linking atypical cortical tracking of speech and reading disorders are further discussed.

Published: May 2023

This research is an attempt to review and study Egyptian diplomacy towards the Al-Nahda Dam crisis after 2011. This crisis has been existing as one of the main issues of Egyptian diplomacy. And because of the importance of this topic, the research arises the following questions: Has Egyptian diplomacy succeeded in employing its tools to solve the Ethiopian Al-Nahda Dam crisis and achieve its interests? What are the challenges facing this diplomacy? In order to obtain convincing answers to these questions, this research attempts to present a basic hypothesis, which states that:“Egyptian diplomacy has used a set of its external tools to address the file of the Ethiopian Al- Nahda Dam and protect the country’s interests, but it failed in achieving its goals in convincing Ethiopia to abide through the principles of international water law. This failure was due to a number of internal and external challenges it faced when it decided to resolve the crisis. To study this issue, the research relies on two approaches, the descriptive method, and the system analysis method to investigate the validity of the main assumption of the research. As a result, the research approved the validity of its hypothesis.

Momordica charantia L. contains flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids. This study aims to determine the inhibition of M. charantia extract on the growth of S. aureus and S. thypi and the highest concentration in inhibiting S. aureus and S. thypi. Then extracted by maceration method with 96% ethanol solvent. M. charantia extracts prepared in concentrations of 2.5%, 5% and 7.5% were tested on S. aureus and S. thypi cultures, CMC Na as a negative control and Cefadroxil as a positive control. Determination of the inhibition zone was carried out by the diffusion method using a paper disk on Nutrient Agar (NA) media with an incubation period of 1 x 24 hours at 37 C. The diameter of the inhibition zone on S. aureus resulted in an average concentration of 2.5% (5.2 mm), concentration of 5% (5.23 mm), and concentration of 7.5% (7.36 mm), the negative control did not produce an inhibition zone while the positive control was 18.96 mm. Whereas S. thypi produced an inhibition zone with an average concentration of 2.5% (8.1 mm), 5% concentration (9.46 mm) and 9.5% concentration (17.06 mm), and in the control the negative inhibition zone was not visible while the positive control had an inhibition zone of 19.06 mm.
Scénariser l’expérience infirmière en contexte de déshospitalisation psychiatrique : nord de l’Ontario, 1965-2015
Authors: LeBel Marie
Published: May 2023

Résumé.

À partir d’une base de données sociohistoriques constituée d’entretiens semi-directifs avec des infirmières de la grande région du nord-est ontarien, nous explorons une nouvelle manière de présenter les résultats d’une recherche en histoire des soins et services de santé mentale en les scénarisant. Les témoins, des infirmières qui ont pratiqué en contexte régional nord-ontarien entre 1965 et 2015 auprès de patients aux prises avec des troubles de santé mentale graves (TSMG), font part des défis qu’a pu présenter pour elles de dispenser des soins psychiatriques selon les moments de cette période durant lesquels elles exerçaient. De leurs témoignages, nous avons extrait et construit un récit scénarisé.

Remaking Critical Theory: A Creative Humanities Process and Intervention
Authors: McFarlane Brandon , Hollenberg Alexander , Lee Hyein , Cibola Marco
Published: May 2023

Popular conceptions of creativity advance a neoliberal world view that reduces creativity to spontaneous ideation or so-called “right-brain thinking.” Such formulations, now commonly upheld in popular and educational discourse, blinker the essential role of criticality and sensitivity to socio-cultural context in the creative process. To challenge the neoliberalization of creativity, we designed the Remaking Critical Theory (RCT) process, which synthesizes recent cognitive science and creative humanities research to reconstitute creativity as criticality and vice versa – what we label critical creativity. The process reframes humanistic interpretation as a critical-creative activity and adapts methods from art, design, and innovation management to facilitate the production of humanities insights. Drawing upon dual-process models of creative cognition, we theorize how the RCT process activates the right type of thinking at the right time in the creative process. We also evidence efficacy by delineating and reflecting upon a pilot application at Sheridan College, which culminated in the student researchers making critical theory zines. More than simply reaffirming the value of critical theory in neoliberal societies, we delineate a radically new approach to humanities research and pedagogy.
New Materials Enable Unprecedented Improvement in Turbine Performance
Authors: Schwant Robin , Shen Chen , Soare Monica
Published: May 2023

In North America, renewable power sources and gas turbines are often in the news, but globally, steam turbines generate the largest portion of electricity, and they will remain a predominant power-generation technology for many decades. Because steam turbines represent a preponderance of our power-generation base, it is essential to continue to drive turbine technology development. Until now, the main technical barrier limiting large efficiency improvements was the temperature constraint imposed by available materials. Today, the game is changing. Due to advancements in materials, we now have a chance to make unprecedented improvements in steam turbine power plant efficiency by raising the inlet temperature hundreds of degrees through the use of new tailored superalloys.
