Published: August 2024

The present study aimed at contributing to a better sociocultural knowledge of S. nigrum through an inventory of local knowledges and the identification of characters of interest for farmers. Fifty-two (52) accessions were collected from thirty-six (36) villages across eleven (11) provinces. The survey was carried out using a semi-structured interviews method with 209 producers, traders and consumers. The majority of the respondents was female (85%), aged between 30 and 45 years (84%). Around 88% of respondents reported they never ate this leafy vegetable. Thirteen (13) vernacular names were registered from the respondents. Phenotypic characteristics such as the color and size of the leaves and organoleptic characteristics such as the taste of these leaves are criteria used by farmers for naming the local accessions of S. nigrum. Meanwhile, the study revealed that farmers obtain their seeds through purchases, donations, self-production or by direct collection of ecotypes in spontaneous environments and in cultivated environments. This survey also revealed a lack of knowledge on this vegetable by some consumers and producers, especially in urban areas. In Burkina Faso, the crop is mainly produced by the Mossi, Bissa, Gurunsi and Dioula ethnic groups. In fact, these ethnic entities use the leaves of this plant as leafy vegetables for sale and for cooking traditional dishes. The leaves constitute organs of interest to local populations who use them as food. The results of this study could make it possible to undertake varietal improvement of this species according to the needs of consumers and producers.

Published: August 2024

Though invertebrates constitute about 95% of the animal kingdom, the information about their extracellular matrices, particularly on collagen, is very scanty. Guanidine hydrochloride soluble collagen (GSC) and pepsin soluble collagen (PSC) were extracted from the whole body muscle tissue of a marine bivalve, Anadara granosa L. GSC and PSC yields (on dry wt basis) were 1.1 and 7.2%, respectively. SDS-PAGE analysis gave 3 bands with mol wt of 130, 140 and 210 kDa for GSC, while PSC showed only one prominent band with mol wt of 140 kDa and the other two bands (of 130 and 210 kDa) were very light. The FT-IR spectral analysis of the collagen showed 8 peaks for GSC and 11 peaks for PSC, which were within the same range of values as seen in commercial (standard) collagen (human placenta collagen). Thus, it is confirmed that the extracted collagens had triple helical structure, similar to type I collagen. These results further suggest that the collagen from A. granosa could be used as a potential alternative source for biomaterials, cosmetics, and other applications.

Published: August 2024

Maintaining agricultural productivity and environmental health is essential for that optimized soil management practices, targeted fertilization, efficient irrigation, and strategic crop rotation are required. This can be achieved by examining the physical and chemical attributes of soil. The physical aspects like soil texture, structure, porosity, and water retention capacity are critical for supporting plant growth, managing water infiltration, and preventing erosion. The chemical attributes such as pH levels, nutrient availability, cation exchange capacity, and salinity affect how nutrients are accessed and retained by plants. Studying soil properties is vital for maintaining soil health, ensuring food security, and protecting ecological systems. For the same objective, part of Shamli-a north-western district of Uttar Pradesh was selected and soil samples from surface and sub-surface regions were taken for laboratory analysis of the required attributes. The results shows that soil of the region is alkaline with sandy loam texture. To find linear correlations—that is, if an increase in one variable is linked to a reduction in another—between the various physio-chemical qualities, the Pearson's co-relation among them was examined. Understanding that between soil's physical and chemical properties is vital for comprehending soil health and its functionality. These properties interplay to influence soil fertility, structure, and plant support capabilities. For example, soil texture and structure affect water retention and drainage, impacting nutrient availability. Likewise, chemical properties like pH and nutrient content can influence soil structure by affecting aggregate stability. Investigating these correlations allows researchers and farmers to develop improved soil management practices, enhancing agricultural productivity, promoting sustainable land use, and reducing environmental degradation. It is seen that the fertility of the region is not satisfactory implying poor soil health conditions.

Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) is a widely cultivated tuber crop with significant economic and nutritional importance, particularly in developing countries like Nigeria. Despite its global popularity, there is a limited exploration of its utilization, especially in terms of its health and economic benefits. This review provides a comprehensive report of the cultivation, market trends, and nutritional properties of tiger nuts. Tiger nuts are rich in carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and essential macromolecules, making them a valuable component of a balanced diet. The low concentration of antinutrients enhances their nutritional significance. Moreover, tiger nuts exhibit notable antioxidant properties, attributed to their phytochemical content, including vitamin C. The potential health benefits include protection against oxidative stress, enhancement of eye health, and support for collagen production. The tuber's low glycemic index makes it suitable for individuals with hyperglycemia and those aiming for weight loss. Beyond nutritional aspects, tiger nuts possess bioprotective, bioproductive, thrombolytic, antiarteriosclerosis, wound dressing, and antimicrobial properties. The review also explores the industrial applications of tiger nuts, such as soap making, alcohol production, and serving as a substitute for coffee beans. Additionally, tiger nut milk emerges as a cost-effective source of probiotics in poverty-stricken regions. The review highlights the potential of locally cultivating probiotics from tiger nut milk to address malnutrition and enhance food quality in resource-constrained settings. Overall, the diverse properties of tiger nuts underscore their potential as a valuable and versatile crop with significant implications for both nutrition and industry.

Phytopthogen are simply an organism parasitic on a plant host resulting the serious problems regarding crop losses in agriculture sector. To facing such a threat, it is very wise to use Biological Control Agents (BCA’s) like Trichoderma, a soil-borne filamentous fungus that are capable of parasitizing several plant pathogenic fungi. It is a potential fungal BCA’s against a range of plant pest and pathogens. Unfortunately, popularization of bio-pesticides is very slow as compared to chemicals. In this study, Pyricularia oryzae was isolated from diseased plant parts using tissue culture techniques. Thereafter, antagonistics properties of two T-strains coded as Ts7B1 and Ts8O were evaluated against P.oryzae isolate tested in vitro study using dual culture technique. In dual culture techniques it is found that Ts7B1 has maximum mycelial growth inhibition and sporulation of pathogen (as much as 60 and 69% respectively) whereas Ts8O has lowest effect on it (35 and 55.2%). Present study concludes the uses of Trichoderma and assessment of their suitability as bio-pesticides for control of P.oryzae, the causal agent of blast rice disease.

Authors: Nalbant Mustafa
Published: August 2024

This paper aims to examine the settlement of collective employment disputes (CEDs) using alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques in both Türkiye and the United Kingdom (UK) where different levels of compulsion elements are employed for the resolution of CEDs via ADR methods. The evaluation of these methods is conducted according to pertinent International Labour Organization (ILO) criteria for effective dispute resolution, specifically focusing on the range of services pertaining to the diversity of available ADR methods and their simultaneous availability in Member States, voluntarism referring to the freedom of parties to select ADR methods for the resolution of CEDs, and professionalism refraining government from intervening in the process of CEDs resolution and necessitating equal footing of employees’ and employers’ representatives in systems regarding dispute resolution. Based on these considerations, the comparative assessments, taking the ILO criteria into account, indicate that the UK system, even though it needs improvement, is comparatively more compatible than the Turkish system in fulfilling the specified criteria.

The rapid growth of tourism sector can positively impact the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the tourism industry. However, the performance of tourism SMEs largely depends on how many domestic and international tourists arrive in Indonesia. The research aimed to determine the effect of social capital, social media marketing, and entrepreneurial orientation on the performance of tourism SMEs in Greater Jakarta. These indicators were adapted from several previous researchers. The research applied a quantitative approach. The primary data were obtained through interviews and questionnaires from 116 tourism SMEs. Then, the research analyzed the data using a Likert scale and Partial Least Squares-Structural Equations Model (PLS-SEM). The results support the acceptance of all three hypotheses, indicating that social capital, social media marketing, and entrepreneurial orientation significantly impact the performance of SME tourism. The research suggests substantial implications for tourism businesses and policies in Greater Jakarta. Strengthening social capital is essential for SMEs by requiring networking with business partners, suppliers, and local communities. Similarly, promoting marketing through social networks and investing in content strategies, targeted advertising, and collaboration with influencers are necessary. SMEs must apply an entrepreneurial perspective by encouraging innovation, new opportunities, and adaptation. Last, the government and stakeholders must support programs and policies that stimulate the development of these elements that contribute to the growth and sustainability of the tourism sector in the region.

Türkiye’ye Yönelen İtalya Tehdidine Bir Örnek: Akdeniz’de Deniz Haydutluğu
Authors: Birlik Gültekin K.
Published: August 2024

Ağustos 1937’de Bozcaada önünde İspanyol gemilerinin batırılması ve Marmara Denizi’nde yabancı denizaltı görülmesiyle, deniz haydutluğundan kaynaklanan İtalyan tehdidi ilk kez olarak Türkiye’yi etkilemiştir. Türkiye yabancı denizaltılara karşı, Marmara Denizi’nde batırmayı da içeren tedbirler alırken, Ege Denizi’nde İtalya ile çatışma ortamı yaratabilecek olan ihtimalleri önlemek için çaba göstermiştir. Deniz haydutluğuna karşı düzenlenen Nyon Konferansı’nda ilk olarak görüşülen İngiliz-Fransız planında, Ege Denizi’nin kuzeyinin Türkiye ve Sovyetler Birliği, güneyinin ise Yunanistan ve Yugoslavya donanmalarınca kontrol edilmesi öngörülmüştür. Sovyetler Birliği ile İtalya arasındaki gerginlik nedeniyle, Atatürk bu durumu İtalya aleyhtarı bir girişim olarak görmüş ve İtalya’ya karşı Türkiye’ye güvence verilmesi konusunu gündeme getirmiştir. Başbakan İsmet İnönü de bu durumun İtalya ile çatışma ihtimali barındırdığını düşünmüş ve İngiltere ile Fransa’dan garanti istenmesi gerektiğini savunmuştur. Türkiye’nin yanı sıra Yunanistan ve Yugoslavya’nın da itirazı sonucu, İngiltere ve Fransa deniz haydutluğuna karşı Ege Denizi’nde de görev üstlenmek zorunda kalmıştır. Türkiye, Yunanistan ve Yugoslavya’nın, İtalya’nın Akdeniz Anlaşmalarına katılımı görüşmelerinde, İtalya’nın Ege Denizi’nde görev almasını istememesi, ayrıca kara sularına ve limanlarına girişine izin vermeyeceklerini açıklaması, Balkan Paktı devletlerinin İtalya’ya karşı ortak bir politika uyguladıklarını göstermektedir. Türk Dışişleri Bakanlığının, İtalya’nın Akdeniz Anlaşmalarına katılımı sürecinde yaşanan sorunlar karşısında, Yunanistan ve Yugoslavya ile anlaşarak birlikte politika oluşturulması gerektiğini savunması, bu durumu açıklamaktadır.

Published: August 2024

Strawberries (Fragaria sp.) are a popular fruit and have high co mmercial value worldwide. Strawberry production continues to increase, but challenges related to temperature and environment affect fruit growth and quality. Temperature is a major factor in strawberry growth. Increased temperature can also affect fruit size, weight, and color, as well as sweetness. This study used a literature search method to analyze the impact of temperature and environment on strawberry growth. To overcome these challenges, the use of greenhouses is one of the appropriate techniques for climate engineering. Greenhouses create suitable temperature conditions and protect plants from adverse climatic conditions and can maintain optimal temperatures for strawberries. Nonetheless, it is necessary to consider the use of shading techniques in greenhouses. Relative humidity also plays an important role, and dehumidification techniques, such as dehumidification ventilation, are required to maintain optimal internal conditions.

The primary data was collected from face to face questionnaire to 136 samples with sampling criteria sampling as such family status, Indonesian, and had minimum one dining out experience in the restaurant premises. Data was then analyzed with statistic descriptive and factor analysis. The findings showed that food taste, lack of time, and craving for specific food determined family the most upon deciding to dine out in the restaurant. Meanwhile, younger family tend to be determined more by food quality, while the older by lack of time. Further, despite the family background occupation either as paid- worker or employee, entrepreneur or housewife, all are determined the most by lack of time and food variability. In contrast, least determinant factor were calories consideration, advertisement, and other influenced. It can be concluded that different demographic led to different determinant factors that stimulate family to dine out. In addition, new five factors are formed from the previous eight factors consist of 17 items, which are as health, quality, lifestyle, convenience, and promotion. This study contributes to the of food and beverage literature that emphasizes for specific market of family during dining out in the restaurant

Supplier segmentation is one of the most important supply chain activities for most companies that collaborate with many suppliers such as in furniture manufacturing. Purchasing Portfolio Matrix (PPM) is a segmentation method that considers two dimensions (supply risk and profit impact) which are the basis for classifying materials to be purchased by the company. Supplier Potential Matrix (SPM) is a new supplier segmentation approach that includes two dimensions (capabilities and willingness). These two approaches are important because they have different focuses, namely PPM on suppliers while SPM on relationships. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to classify suppliers using a combination of PPM and SPM and determine the appropriate relationship management strategy. Data collection was carried out in the case of one manufacturing company that works with 74 raw material suppliers. Best Worst Method (BWM) is used to determine the criteria weights in both segmentation approaches. So from the 74 suppliers, the results were 7 suppliers in PPM1, 43 suppliers in PPM2, 5 suppliers in PPM3, and 19 suppliers in PPM4 and different strategies were obtained so that this combined PPM-SPM approach was able to improve supplier management.

The production process of acoustic guitars in Indonesia involves 4 workstations and 17 distinct activities. Due to the nature of the work—8-hour shifts in seated positions with frequent bending, squatting, and repetitive movements—workers are at risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), particularly in the neck, shoulders, back, arms, and wrists. This study aimed to identify and analyze body posture conditions using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) and Muscle Fatigue Analysis (MFA) methods. The NBM method was used to record pain complaints across various body parts, while the MFA assessed muscle fatigue by considering the level of effort, work duration, and movement frequency. Results from the NBM showed that among the workers, 2 were at high risk, 3 at medium risk, and 7 at low risk for MSDs. The MFA further identified 3 workers with very high to high-priority fatigue concerns, specifically affecting the neck, back, shoulders, right arm, wrist, and legs. To address these issues, the study recommended redesigning work facilities and layouts using the SolidWorks application, along with implementing regular muscle stretching and exercise routines to minimize the risk of MSDs and improve worker well-being.

Product quality is a crucial factor that influences success in the market and in the company's production process. Quality products meet company standards and consumer expectations.  The aim of this study is to identify the causes of product rejections and to analyze process improvements in terms of man, material, machine, method, measurement, and environment to reduce product rejections. The results of data collection show the dominant types of rejects, with the following proposed improvements: Maintain the operators' jobdesk so that they become experts in one area, by motivating them through rewards to improve work quality. Ensure spare stock, efficient forklift lanes and H-1 glue communication. Make continuous improvements in every part of the packaging department and build an information system for glue type requirements. Place SOPs in a visible and obvious location, add machine filters near operators, and improve machines to prevent overweight/underweight rejects. Check and calibrate machines regularly, implement scheduled machine maintenance checklists, and standardise maintenance and delegate tasks to optimise staff schedules. Regularly update the parts list according to the machine specifications, make a tool to pour glue from the drum with minimal noise, and perform regular machine maintenance and use bearings to reduce vibration.

Published: August 2024

Third-party logistics (3PL) is a strategic business partner for companies in carrying out company business activities that are outsourced or cannot be handled themselves. Mistakes in choosing a 3PL can have negative impacts on the company such as financial losses, reducing service quality, reducing customer trust, reducing the company's image, and so on. This article aims to classify third-party logistics based on current issue trends, the methods used in selecting criteria, and what criteria they produce. Using Systematic Literature Review, researchers reviewed, classified, and analyzed 56 relevant articles published in the 2020-2023 period from the Scopus database. The results of this review reveal that 3PL providers can be classified based on issue trends and company goals in selecting them, namely Traditional 3PL, Sustainable 3PL, Sustainable-resilient 3PL, Green 3PL, Gresilient 3PL, Traditional Third-Party Reverse Logistics, and Sustainable Third-Party Reverse Logistics. The priority criteria in selecting a 3PL provider are closely related to the 3PL classification, the industrial sector and business activity being outsourced, the country where the company operates, and the dimensions or attributes used in developing the criteria.

PT. Weiss Tech has received a project order for the fabrication and installation of coffee packaging production machines from PT.XYZ, scheduled to start on June 19, 2023, with a deadline of June 24, 2024, spanning 54 weeks. The project has been ongoing for 16 weeks with an update indicating that only 20% of the planned progress has been achieved, which suggests that it may not be completed on time. To evaluate the project's performance, the EVM  method will be used to identify critical tasks and reduce the project duration using the Precedence Diagram Method with the help of MS Project software. The evaluation shows negative values for CV and SV variances, as well as performance index SPI<1 and CPI<1, indicating poor project performance. The critical tasks identified include electrical & instrument installation, machine & utility installation, trial work, assembly, quality control, polishing, milling, turning, cutting, and design. Design work has been identified as the most influential on the critical path. By rescheduling the project plan, positive values for CV and SV have been achieved. With the SPI value of 1.13 and CPI value of 1, it can be concluded that future project performance will be completed faster and within budget.
