Authors: Alarcón-Cedeño Magaly Lorena , Chiriboga-Mendoza Fidel
Published: November 2021

Tradicionalmente, el emprendimiento ha tenido falencias en cuanto a la aplicación de la comunicación digital como estrategia de bajo costo para la difusión de los modelos de negocios, así como los productos y servicios ofertados por el emprendimiento rural femenino. Si bien se ha establecido que, en la provincia de Manabí, el emprendimiento rural en general ocupa un segmento importante dentro de las actividades económicas, es notable que un porcentaje de estos negocios no son sostenibles en el tiempo, lo cual se asocia a la falta de una cultura organizacional de administración de negocios, incluyendo en este tópico la ausencia de estrategias de comunicación digital, que en la actualidad son la vía más oportuna para conectar a las emprendedoras y clientes. Por ende, el presente trabajo de titulación tiene como objetivo establecer el efecto de comunicación digital en el fomento del emprendimiento rural femenino en Manabí, Ecuador. En cuanto al diseño metodológico, se utilizará el método descriptivo con un enfoque cuantitativo; para ello, se aplicarán encuestas dirigidas a las emprendedoras rurales de la provincia de Manabí. La encuesta tendrá como finalidad conocer si estos emprendimientos utilizan los medios de comunicación digital para promocionar y difundir sus negocios. Los resultados generados en el instrumento de investigación permitirán conocer si los emprendimientos rurales femeninos de la provincia utilizan los medios de comunicación digital para promocionar y difundir sus modelos de negocios. Además, será posible identificar el rol que ocupan los medios de comunicación digital como estrategias de promoción del emprendimiento rural femenino.

Variabilidad de la coordinación del movimiento humano: concepto e interpretación
Authors: Valldecabres Raúl
Published: November 2021

Tomando como referencia los estudios clásicos, donde la variabilidad de la coordinación del movimiento humano es analizada desde una perspectiva matemática (teniendo en cuenta exclusivamente la desviación estándar), ésta era interpretada como “ruido” y era eliminada o no se tenía en cuenta; posteriormente, otras teorías sobre los sistemas dinámicos que contradijeron las anteriores, donde consideran la variabilidad como algo necesario e inevitable debido a las diferentes limitaciones de la tarea a realizar, todo ello analizado con la más sofisticada tecnología, imágenes en 3D, potentes software, el análisis de datos según la técnica empleada y la re-evaluación de los datos para considerarla positiva o negativa. Diferentes estudios en diversos deportes la han analizado, pero casi siempre en laboratorio, lo que parece dejar abierta una gran línea para investigaciones futuras en terreno de juego real, para tener en cuenta también en las interpretaciones las limitaciones y/o restricciones del ambiente en un momento concreto de la realización de la tarea. En este sentido, el principal objetivo de este trabajo es conocer los diferentes tipos de variabilidad de la coordinación del movimiento humano y su interpretación.

Published: November 2021

Introducción: El análisis biomecánico de la técnica deportiva permite conocer deficiencias y posibles soluciones en la ejecución motriz, de importancia en la modelación del entrenamiento en deportes eminentemente técnicos como la halterofilia, permitiendo la observación de las magnitudes para reflejar la efectividad o deficiencia motriz. Objetivo: Analizar biomecánicamente la habilidad de salto vertical de deportistas de halterofilia por género y nivel de rendimiento. Métodos: Investigación descriptiva-correlacional, estudiando el salto vertical en una muestra de 16 deportistas de halterofilia (9 hombres y 7 mujeres, 15-20 años), comparando en ambos géneros la altura máxima (AM), el ángulo de la rodilla-cadera (ARC), la velocidad (V), la aceleración (A) y el ángulo final del salto vertical (AFSV), incluyendo en dicha comparación el nivel de rendimiento presentado (Avanzado e Iniciación). Resultados: Las medias en hombres son mayores en la variable AM (2,65 cm) que en mujeres (2,54 cm), con una mayor velocidad (6,52 m/s) y aceleración (0,30m/s²), y un menor ángulo de la rodilla-cadera (88,89°) y ángulo final de salto (175,56°) que en el género femenino (V=5,16 m/s; A=0,46 m/s²; ARC=94,14°; AFSV=177,86°). Igualmente, los valores por nivel de rendimiento presentaron diferencias a favor del grupo de Avanzados. Conclusiones: Se concluye que la práctica de la halterofilia produce un efecto positivo al momento de ejecutar un salto, dado que a mayor nivel del deportista mayor será su potencia de salto vertical, independientemente del género.

In this study, we aimed to explore bioactive volatile compounds in leaves of black rice which emphasized on phenolic compounds. Leaves of four black rice varieties including IR1552 and three Thai black glutinous rice varieties, Kam Huai Hong Khrai (KHHK), Kam Chiang Mai (KCM), and Kam Muang Nan (KMN) were extracted by acidic and basic aqueous solution. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of the volatile components in these black rice extracts revealed twelve simple phenols among fifty-five volatile compounds identified. 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol was detected as the most abundant volatile, especially, in the booting stage for KHHK followed by the tillering stage of the same variety. Its highest content was approximately 10-folds greater than that of vanillin at the booting stage. To the best of our knowledge, seven simple phenols were detected in black rice leaves for the first time, which included 4-vinylphenol, 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl)phenol, 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenol, 4-hydroxy-3,5- dimethoxy-benzaldehyde and 4-((1E)-3-hydroxy-1-propenyl)-2-methoxyphenol. 3-Hexen-1-ol was detected at the highest amount and was only identified in the dough-grain stage for KHHK, KCM and KMN. Two major aldehydes (2E)-2-hexenal and nonanal were detected in high quantities in KCM black rice variety in the dough-grain and mature-grain stage. Among the twelve fatty acids identified, (Z,Z,Z)-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid was detected at the highest amount, on average, followed by hexadecadienoic acid and octadecanoic acid. Therefore, it could be suggested that the leaves of black rice are rich in phenolic compounds and could be used to promote natural sources of food ingredients that are of great interest to the food industry.

This article reports the amino acid composition of the Nigerian local cheese called ‘wara’. ‘Wara’ is made by boiling cow milk with some added coagulant to cuddle the milk protein resulting in coagulated milk protein and whey. ‘Wara’ used to be an excellent source of nutrients such as proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins. Samples were purchased in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Amino acid values were high (g/100g crude protein) in Leu, Asp, Glu, Pro, Phe, Arg with total value of 97.7. The quality parameters of the amino acids were: TEAA (42.6g/100g and 43.6%) whereas TNEAA (55.1g/100g and 56.4%); TArAA (12.8g/100g and 13.1%); TBAA (14.2g/100g and 14.5%); TSAA (3.10g/100g and 3.17%); %Cys in TSAA (51.4); Leu/Ile ratio (1.74); P-PER1 (2.65); P-PER2 (2.48); P-PER3 (2.41); EAAI1 (soybean standard) (1.29) and EAAI2 (egg standard) (99.9); BV (97.2) and Lys/Trp ratio (3.62). The statistical analysis of TEAA/TNEAA at r=0.01 was not significantly different. On the amino acid scores, Met was limiting (0.459) at egg comparison, Lys was limiting at both FAO/WHO [24] and preschool EAA requirements with respective values of 0.966 and 0.97. Estimates of essential amino acid requirements at ages 10-12 years (mg/kg/day) showed the ‘wara’ sample to be better than the standard by 3.72-330% with Lys (3.72%) being least better and Trp (330%) being most. The results showed that ‘wara’ is protein-condensed which can be eaten as raw cheese, flavoured snack, sandwich filling or fried cake.

Authors: Harun Dani Ramdani , Priyanto Sony Heru , Suharti Lieli
Published: November 2021

Different approaches in the introduction and socialization of farmer cards resulted in the adoption rate of farmers not following the planned target even though one of the objectives of the farmer card program was to improve farmer human resources. This study aims to analyze the perceived impact of the farmer's card on the level of adoption and improvement of farmer's human resources. Respondents selected based on cluster sampling came from the 6 districts that used the most farmer cards in Central Java. The data obtained through the survey were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. The five variables measured consisted of transformational leadership, the role of the government, facilitating conditions, perceived farmer cards, perceived farmer card adoption, and farmer human resources. The results showed that transformational leadership, the role of government, and facilitating conditions had a significant effect on perceived farmer cards. The perceived farmer card has a significant effect on the adoption of the farmer card. Adoption of farmer's card has a significant effect on farmer's human resources. The application of the farmer card results in a farmer database increased accuracy and government services to farmers. Future research needs to be directed at conducting development research related to increasing the capacity of farmer card information technology to make farmers more prosperous.

Reflection on action: peer micro-teaching process of prospective EFL teachers and class teachers focusing on mother tongue teaching
Authors: Ćirković Miladinović Ivana , Dimitrijevic Maja , Ilic Branko
Published: November 2021

Teaching experience plays a productive role in teacher professional development, so it is necessary to examine such experience systematically, either as reflection on action or reflection in action. In a sense, reflection has the power to help the teacher connect experience and theoretical knowledge and to use each area of expertise more efficiently (Knezevic and Scholl 1996). Therefore, reflection is an important ‘tool’ to articulate how we know what we do when we teach (ibid.). For this reason, micro-teaching is an opportunity to link theory and practice, critically evaluate one’s teaching skills and to discuss alternative approaches and solutions for the specific teaching context with peer colleagues. This paper will focus, firstly, on the micro-teaching process by explaining the background of this procedure and then by giving the detailed description of the two micro-teaching sessions conducted in January and February 2020 at the Faculty of Education in Jagodina, University of Kragujevac, Serbia. Secondly, it will consider giving feedback to others, in person and online, using video records, self-evaluation and reflection in peer-teaching process. Finally, the paper will evaluate two peer micro-teaching sessions with a focus on student-student, interaction in university teaching context and advantages and disadvantages in teaching English as a foreign language on one side, and Serbian as the mother tongue on the other.

Does Gender Play a Moderating Role in the Relationship between Ethics and Sustainable Negotiation Style?
Authors: Moslehpour Massoud , Tu Yu-Te , Suen Mein-Woei
Published: November 2021

Purpose: This study explores three dimensions of how gender and ethics may affect negotiation styles and measures the relationship between gender and ethics.
Design/methodology/approach: This study applied Structural Equations Modelling that focused on the GreTai Security Market to test the effects and differences of gender on negotiation styles.
Findings: The results revealed that gender and ethics significantly affect negotiation styles, and gender significantly affects ethical behaviors.
Originality/value: Current transactions are more complex than they were ever before. Information is asymmetric, and expectations differ between the sides. Therefore, an effective negotiation becomes quite crucial to reaching a win-win result. Different countries have different cultural environments; hence numerous different negotiations styles which merit further studies. However, most prior studies in the field are focused on a single factor used to measure another variable that may not consistently capture how gender and ethics affect negotiation styles and the relationships between gender and ethics
Implications: This study helps multicultural negotiators and companies find the most competent design for improving the efficiency of negotiations in business and other endeavors. Educators and curriculum designers should consider cultural issues as an integral part of their curriculum in their future designs.

Published: November 2021

Objectives: Carbapenems are among the most powerful anti pseudomonal agents. Since meropenem and doripenem were marketed, there are limited data regarding drug susceptibility testing by routine methods (disc diffusion and Etest) for them. The aim of our study was to compare in vitro activity of the imipenem, meropenem and doripenem against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods: Three hundred and eleven P. aeruginosa strains isolated from respiratory specimens in 170 patients who developed ventilator-associated pneumonia in two intensive care units were collected over a period of 31 months. The susceptibility of all of these isolates to imipenem, meropenem and doripenem were determined by Etest and disc diffusion method. Results: Considering either all of the isolates or only the first isolates recovered per patient (311 and 170 respectively) the susceptibility rate for doripenem was higher than that for meropenem and imipenem. When MICs determined by Etest were converted into interpretative categories (S, I, R) using French (CA-SFM) guidelines, agreement was poor, especially for meropenem and doripenem. The percent of agreement with the disc diffusion method were 90.6% and 89.7% for imipenem, 80.5% and 82.6% for meropenem and 80.5% and 73.3% for doripenem, for the first isolates and all of the isolates, respectively. Errors were mostly minor errors, and the rate of errors was as high as 17.7% and 16.1% for meropenem and 17.7% and 25.7% for doripenem for the first isolates and all of the isolates, respectively Conclusion: The accuracy of disc diffusion using CA-SFM guidelines appears unsatisfactory for all the three carbapenems justifying the adaptation of new guidelines for P. aeruginosa and carbapenems

“Sair no mundo, contar os fatos”: notas sobre ‘andar’ e conhecer entre coletivos sateré-mawé em cidades amazônicas
Authors: Andrade José Agnello
Published: November 2021

Neste capítulo expõem-se reflexões a partir da interlocução com indígenas Sateré-Mawé habituados a levar a vida entre constantes deslocamentos pelas aldeias e cidades na região amazônica, a partir de suas narrativas relacionadas às trajetórias de distintos coletivos de parentes sateré-mawé, tomadas como parte do conjunto de experiências acionadas para a construção sua experiência vivida, de forma a explicitar os múltiplos sentidos inscritos em suas práticas de mobilidade. Demonstra-se que a mobilidade ocupa um lugar central na história destes coletivos familiares de indígenas sateré-mawé, para os quais sua ‘vida’, assim como a vitalidade dos/nos seus lugares de habitação, está atrelada a um modo de estar-no-mundo que encontra no ‘gosto por andar’, relacionado à conformação de circuitos entre cidades e aldeias e suas concepções nativas sobre territorialidade, temporalidade e conhecimento. Este capítulo esmiúça particularmente um modo de conhecimento (e reconhecimento) implicado nos atos coletivos e continuados de ‘andar’, ‘parar’, ‘voltar’ e ‘contar’, subsumidos sob a expressão nativa ‘andar junto’, que indicia um ideal de relações de confiança, cuidado, acolhimento e aprendizagem que remetem aos movimentos coordenados caros à produção de vida em seus locais de parada entre seus parentes espalhados por diferentes cidades e aldeias.
Caminhos Cruzados: experiências de trabalho e circulação entre famílias rurais no Agreste de Pernambuco
Authors: Andrade Berlano
Published: November 2021

Procura-se neste capítulo refletir sobre as formas que historicamente foram constituídas na produção de circulações entre trabalhadores a partir – mas hoje não exclusivamente – dos territórios rurais na mesorregião do Agreste de Pernambuco. Focalizo indivíduos e suas famílias que estabelecem diversas combinações entre atividades agrícolas com não-agrícolas, seja o assalariamento nas cidades como também a incorporação,em seus espaços domésticos, de atividades na produção de vestuários. O que procuro mostrar é que essas características revelam processos construídos ao longo do tempo em que homens e mulheres, ao executarem distintas mobilidades, articulam territórios e processos produtivos que, por sua vez, atravessam as suas famílias impactando diferentemente os seus membros.
Predictive Open-grown Crown Width Equations for Three Oak Species Planted in a Southern Urban Locale

Published: November 2021

Models that predict ecosystem services in urban areas are useful tools to urban forest managers. Predictive open-grown crown width equations were developed for three oak species common in urban forests in the southern United States. Tree crown form is an important component of these equations; however, there are few predictive equations available for urban, open-grown trees. The species used were Quercus lyrata Walt. (overcup oak), Quercus nuttallii Palmer (Nuttall oak), and Quercus phellos L. (willow oak). The study authors believe that these are the first predictive open-grown crown width equations developed for these species in the southern U.S. Diameter at breast height (DBH) (independent variable), DBH2 (independent variable), and average crown width (dependent variable) data were used to create the predictive crown width equations and yielded R2 values of 0.96, 0.94, and 0.91 for overcup, Nuttall, and willow oaks, respectively. These equations can aid urban landscape and utility planners by providing a means to predict crown dimensions at varying trunk diameters. Field time could also be minimized by reducing the need to measure crown width and with time, these equations could be used to validate species specific equations (e.g., leaf biomass) for these and other southern urban-planted tree species.
Fertilization Rate and Placement Effects on Areca Palms Transplanted from Containers or a Field Nursery
Authors: Broschat Timothy , Moore Kimberly
Published: November 2021

Areca palms (Dypsis lutescens [(H. Wendl.) Beentje and J. Dransf.]) were transplanted from containers or a field nursery and were treated with fertilizer placed at the bottom of the planting hole, incorporated into the backfill, or on the surface of the root ball to determine the effects of fertilizer placement at planting on palm growth and quality. Fertilizer was applied at 0, 250 g (20 g N), or 500 g (40 g N) per tree for each placement method to determine fertilization rate effects. Areca palms transplanted from containers grew best when fertilizer was incorporated into the backfill, but any fertilizer placement or rate was better than no fertilizer. When areca palms were transplanted from a field nursery, there was no consistently best fertilizer placement method. However, fertilized plants grew better and had less severe nitrogen and potassium deficiency symptoms than unfertilized palms. There was no benefit to higher fertilization rate for either container- or field-grown areca palms.
Urban Tree Growth and Longevity: An International Meeting and Research Symposium White Paper
Authors: Leibowitz Rachel
Published: November 2021

Researchers from around the world gathered at The Morton Arboretum (Lisle, Illinois, U.S.) in September 2011 to share their experiences and knowledge on the topic of urban tree growth and longevity. A roundtable discussion was held at the end of the second day’s program, during which attendees discussed the state of current research in these areas and identified needs for future research. Four distinct subgroups were identified within the broader topic of urban tree growth and longevity: tree production; site design and tree selection; tree and site management; and the need for descriptive studies. Throughout the discussion, it became clear that there must be greater collaboration among researchers investigating tree growth, increased investment in long-term studies, the development of a clearing house for information, and the fostering of productive partnerships between the governmental, industry, and academic sectors. To strengthen the impact of urban tree growth research on the tree care industry, results and conclusions must be summarized and distributed through suitable means for a variety of audiences, which might include federal, state, and local governments; property owners and consumers; nurseries and growers; tree care and other green industry professionals; and urban planners, civil engineers, and landscape architects. To this end, the Urban Tree Growth & Longevity Working Group has been established to support communication between researchers and professional practitioners, enrich scientific exchange, and enhance the quality, productivity, and timeliness of research on tree growth, longevity, and mortality.

Specifically, the characteristics of regions in Indonesia are unique. The situation is because the division of the region refers to the main islands. The study aims to analyze regional disparities of childbirth services in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the analysis in this study uses raw data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (IDHS). The IDHS used stratification and multistage random sampling. The sample used in this study was 17,769 women aged 15 - 49 years with live births in the last 5 years. The study employed all region (7 regions) in the analysis, and analyzed data using the binary logistic regression test. The result shows national average of the utilization of healthcare facilities for delivery in Indonesia is 72.0 %. The 3 highest-ranking regions were in the Java-Bali region with 89.5 %, Sumatra region 73.5 %, and Kalimantan region 69.1 %. The study shows a significant disparity between all regions than the Papua region, except for Kalimantan and Sulawesi regions. Sumatra region has 1.475 times more possibilities to utilize healthcare facilities for delivery than the Papua region. The Java-Bali region has 3.010 times more potential to use healthcare facilities for delivery than the Papua region. The Nusa Tenggara region has 1.891 times more opportunities to use healthcare facilities for delivery than the Papua region. At the same time, the Maluku region has lower utilization than the Papua region. Maluku region has the possibility of 0.304 times utilizing healthcare facilities for delivery than the Papua region. The study concluded that there were significant disparities between regions in using healthcare facilities for delivery in Indonesia.

HIGHLIGHTS

Indonesia has made many efforts in shifting labor into health care facilities. However, this increase is still lacking, and in some cases, the community still feels that the health services received are not expected

The characteristics of regions in Indonesia are unique. Economic and development movements between regions keep the development gap between areas continuing. Disparity as a result of this development also affects the accessibility of the community to health service facilities

The study proved there were disparities between regions in using healthcare facilities for delivery in Indonesia

Exploration of effective chemotherapy is needed for cancer treatment. 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-H2DA), a unique fatty acid from royal jelly (RJ), is reported to have antitumor activities. However, its mechanisms remain under-examined. This study investigated the antiproliferative and cytotoxic efficacy of 10-H2DA treatments and their underlying mechanisms, compared to doxorubicin (DXR), on MCF-7 breast cancer cells.  The antiproliferative effect was determined using the MTS tetrazolium assay.  Cytotoxic activity was performed using a modified MTS assay. Cell cycle progression and cell apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. Pivotal protein expressions were detected by Western blot. Results revealed that 125 µg/mL 10-H2DA treatment significantly inhibited cancer cell growth by 65 %, better than 0.54 µg/mL DXR treatment (48 %), compared to the medium control (p<0.05).  The 50 % lethal concentration (LC50) values of 10-H2DA were 190 µg/mL, representing cytotoxic activity. The underlying antiproliferative and cytotoxic mechanisms of 125 µg/mL 10-H2DA treatment demonstrated that it extensively suppressed c-MYC/BAX and slightly activated p53/BAX, leading to G0/G1 cell cycle arrest (decreased cyclin D1 and CDK4) and cell apoptosis (decreased BCL2/BAX). It slightly limited lifespan extension (decreased hTERT/BAX). Nevertheless, it strongly activated HO-1/BAX and NRF2/BAX, possibly inducing chemoresistance and cell invasion later on. Our findings suggested that 10-H2DA treatments induced antiproliferative effects on MCF-7 breast cancer cells via suppression of c-MYC, CDK4, and cyclin D1, leading to cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis. However, long-term treatment may increase chemoresistance and cell invasion due to induction of antioxidative power, NRF2/BAX, and HO-1/BAX. Therefore, aggressive treatment for a short period would be recommended for using 10-H2DA as a chemotherapeutic compound to prevent chemoresistance and cell invasion.  Further long-term in vitro and in vivo studies are necessary to confirm its strength and weakness.

HIGHLIGHTS

10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-H2DA), a marker royal jelly acid, effectively inhibited MCF-7 breast cancer cells proliferation and induced cytotoxicity

The inhibitory mechanisms involved the high suppression of c-MYC, cyclin D1, and CDK4, which induced cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis

10-H2DA treatment at proper dose induced high antioxidative potency via activation of NRF2/BAX and HO-1/BAX

Limitation of 10-H2DA treatment is that it might induce chemoresistance
