The effects of a QTL for root development under hypoxia on yield of soybean exposed to 7-day waterlogging at seedling stage
Authors: Hien Dang Thi Thu , Loc Nguyen Van , Abiko Tomomi , Mochizuki Toshihiro
Published: January 2021

In humid parts of the world, waterlogging is a major environmental stress limiting the yield of soybean and its root development is an important indicator of tolerance. Recently, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for this trait were detected on the chromosome 12 of soybean through the analyses of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from a cross between a hypoxia-sensitive cultivar, Tachinagaha, and a tolerant landrace, Iyodaizu. In this study, in order to get a detailed understanding of these QTLs, NIL-9-4-5, a near-isogenic line (NIL), was selected from Tachinagaha/Iyodaizu BC6F2 population through marker assisted selection (MAS). NIL-9-4-5 was then tested for yield performance under waterlogging conditions exposed at the seedling stage. The test was conducted in a greenhouse in 2015 and 2018 at the Experimental Farm of Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. Soybean plants were grown in pots containing loam soil. From six days after germination, seedlings were grown for 7 days under two treatments: drained (control) and waterlogging conditions. Pots were kept in containers where the water level was maintained at 2.0 cm depth from bottom in the control and at 2.0 cm above the soil surface in waterlogged condition. Experimental results consistently showed that seed yields of both Iyodaizu and NIL-9-4-5 were not reduced under waterlogging. Compared to Tachinagaha, NIL-9-4-5 showed higher root development and increased seed yield under waterlogging. These indicate that the tested QTLs are able to increase yield by stimulating root development under waterlogging.

The study aimed to evaluate the growth and quality of SJ-02 cocoa seedlings under different irrigation depths and cultivation container sizes. The experiment was arranged as a completely randomized design, in a factorial scheme (4x3), where the first factor consisted of the application of four different irrigation depths (6, 10, 12 and 14 mm d-1) and the second one was composed of three different cultivation containers (small, medium and large). Twelve treatments were evaluated with eight repetitions, totaling 96 plants in the experimental field. At 74 days after sowing, the leaf area, stem diameter, plant height, dry mass of the aerial part, dry mass of the root system, total dry mass and Dickson's quality index of all seedlings were analyzed. The 10.32 mm d-1 irrigation depth and the medium and large cultivation containers provided the highest quality in seedling production, being the most suitable ones. However, there was no interaction between the factors

Published: January 2021

Recently, there has been a positive trend towards an increase in children with learning difficulties. Visual-spatial functions underlie the formation of higher mental functions, including emotional life. The lack of formation of spatial representations inevitably leads to a significant violation of cognitive operations and visual thought processes necessary for the successful mastering of the school curriculum. The study of spatial representations in children of primary school age showed that children with learning difficulties are characterized by such disorders as reversion and perspective defects, dysmetry, difficulties in rendering three-dimensionality, planar images, fragmentation of the perceptual image, fragmented and chaotic strategies of optical-spatial activity.

Published: January 2021

In many areas of the world, rainwater has been collected and consumed by people. Our research aims to assess the use of rainwater and the impact of operation and maintenance activities of the rainwater system on drinking water quality in rural areas where there is no access to a public drinking water system. Through the questionnaire, direct visits, interviews and sampling of water at surveyed households (HHs), it was found that 100 and 98% of surveyed HHs used rainwater for drinking and cooking, respectively. Nearly, 80% of them were aware of the necessity of frequent reservoir cleaning as well as first-flush removal. Cleaning the water reservoir had a significant impact on water quality, in particular the total dissolved solids (p-value < 0.05). The use of strainers and more frequency of cleaning the catchment roofs and gutters would make the lower turbidity in water. However, the use of strainers would reduce the dissolution of oxygen in the reservoirs. A recommendation on the frequency of maintaining the rainwater harvesting systems was proposed after assessment of the operation and maintenance behaviors at surveyed HHs.

Sri Lanka has no water scarcity within the country, and per capita, water availability is adequate to cater for the country's estimated peak population. Nevertheless, the frequent variability of spatial and temporal water availability and extreme events have built up a water scarcity in Sri Lanka, which has been observed during the last two to three decades. Therefore, effective and efficient water governance is most important in today's context, and regular review and amendment of policies, laws, and regulations are crucial to mitigate water scarcity. Although a few attempts were initiated, none of them succeeded. In this study, historical and present water governance mechanisms, including coordinating mechanisms and implementing water management agencies in Sri Lanka, were comprehensively reviewed. Further, the previously proposed water policies, their status and reasons for the failures of policies were discussed. Finally, the formulation of a novel institutional arrangement or altering the existing institutional arrangement with shared data and allocating non-shared responsibilities to each institution is suggested for better water governance in Sri Lanka.
Impact of legislation on olive mill wastewater management: Jordan as a case study
Authors: Halalsheh Maha , Kassab Ghada , Shatanawi Khaldoun
Published: January 2021

Olive mill wastewater (OMWW) management is becoming more challenging and a major environmental concern due to several factors including the very complex wastewater, which is considered one of the most difficult to treat. Seasonal production and small scattered family milling businesses have resulted in augmented management challenges. As the eighth largest olive oil exporter, Jordan is not an exception and faces some environmental and management concerns. The country had recently managed OMWW well; however, some issues need to be addressed in order to meet environmental requirements of the growing business. This paper aims at evaluating the Jordanian experience in OMWW management and recommends additional alternatives. OMWW shipping is controlled by a tracking system to designated disposal sites. However, weak enforcement of penalties results in violations. Moreover, current management practical options are limited in view of existing regulations since agricultural land application and decentralized management are discouraged. Legislative gaps are discussed and suggestions for a comprehensive revision established to allow for additional management alternatives. A revised legislative framework that takes into account resource recovery and the valorization of OMWW based on scientific evidence is highly recommended.

Published: January 2021

Active chlorine decontaminants like hypochlorite are used to destroy chemical warfare agents (CWAs) such as HD, VX and GD due to the former's strong oxidation capacity and high nucleophilicity. In this paper, experiments were performed to identify the main factors affecting agent recovery from decon water. Based on the results, a method to recover residual CWAs from hypochlorite decon water before quantitative determination by GC was developed. The results showed that the extraction solvent was a critical determinant of high CWA recovery. Dichloromethane was more suitable than petroleum either, especially for samples containing GD or low residual CWAs. For VX-containing samples, the use of an alkali solution improved VX recovery. Neutralization was also important for a high CWA recovery, especially for samples with low CWA concentrations and/or strong decontaminant reactivity. The use of 15% sodium sulfite as the neutralization solution gave the best results for hypochlorite decon water. When the optimized conditions of simultaneous sodium sulfite neutralization and dichloromethane extraction were used, the recovery of HD, VX and GD in hypochlorite decon water was greater than 85% at a concentration range of 20 mg/L to 10,000 mg/L.

O princípio responsabilidade e a crítica ao transumanismo
Authors: Camargo Leonardo Nunes
Published: January 2021

O objetivo desse artigo é mostrar como o princípio responsabilidade de Hans Jonas, repensado numa dimensão ontológica e ética, enfrenta as teses do transumanismo em relação ao enhancement human. Embora Hans Jonas pensasse que a racionalidade representava o último grau de desenvolvimento da liberdade numa abordagem fenomenológica da vida, com o surgimento do(s) transumanismo(s) e a ideia de que podemos aprimorar o ser humano utilizando procedimentos tecnocientíficos, sustentamos que a autenticidade humana encontra sua maior expressão no conceito de responsabilidade. Isto é, uma vez que o transumanismo, com seus adeptos mais utópicos, pressupõe o surgimento de uma nova era da espécie humana, precisamos de um novo princípio ético capaz de frear os novos poderes tecnológicos da humanidade a fim de garantir a existência e a integridade da vida de forma genuína e autentica.
Sobre a diabolé na prova pelo éthos na retórica judicial
Authors: Bandeira de Oliveira Marques Saulo
Published: January 2021

Para Aristóteles, a prova pelo ḗthos é a mais eficiente forma de persuasão porque a idoneidade do orador inspira uma maior credibilidade aos seus argumentos. No âmbito da retórica judicial, a tendência do auditório é perceber o ḗthos do acusador de forma diferente do ḗthos do acusado. Essa dessimetria tem significativo impacto na receptividade das alegações de um e de outro. A fim de lhe conquistar a confiança, o orador pode recorrer a testemunhos para comprovar o seu bom ḗthos. Mas, ser-lhe-ia possível usá-los para infundir suspeitas sobre o caráter (diabolḗ) de seu adversário? Embora o texto da Retórica aponte para uma resposta afirmativa, leitores de perspectiva de viés moral, a exemplo de Grimaldi, negam essa possibilidade. Nesse sentido, com base nas considerações a respeito da prova pelo ḗthos na Retórica, pretende-se observar se é possível e em até que ponto a diabolḗ poderia ser utilizada nessa esfera, investigando sua aplicação desde as provas testemunhais.
Deleuze, Benjamin
Authors: Ribeiro Guimarães Vinci Christian Fernando
Published: January 2021

Esse ensaio procurará aproximar o pensamento de Gilles Deleuze e Walter Benjamin, autores comumente articulados em distintas correntes filosóficas. Para tanto, procuraremos pensar o modo como Deleuze apresenta uma crença imanente nesse mundo, plataforma de pensamento para uma outra tradição crítica – iniciada com Espinosa e continuada por Friedrich Nietzsche, Franz Kafka, Antonin Artaud e outros. Acreditando ser possível inserir Benjamin nessa outra tradição crítica, buscaremos apresentar algumas discussões benjaminianas acerca da revolução messiânica, um modo de revolução preocupado em produzir uma ideia de felicidade terrena. Ambas as discussões, defendemos, partilhariam de uma mesma aposta, uma aposta nas potências criadoras inatas aos homens, passíveis apenas de serem recuperadas quando abdicamos de qualquer perspectiva transcendente e adotamos uma perspectiva de pensamento dita imanente.
A organização social como verdadeiro objeto da crítica no Segundo Discurso
Authors: Tomé Julio
Published: January 2021

A ideia de que as desigualdades naturais não implicam em desigualdades políticas e morais (i.e., desigualdades sociais) deve ser vista como o ponto de partida do diagnóstico apresentado por Rousseau no Segundo Discurso. As desigualdades sociais tornam-se parte da vida humana apenas após a passagem do Estado de Natureza para o Estado Civil. O Estado Civil seria um Estado artificial e de desordem, sobre o qual as pessoas desenvolvem a faculdade do aperfeiçoamento (ou perfectibilidade) e, consequentemente, o sentimento (artificial) do amor-próprio. Com o desenvolvimento do amor-próprio, as pessoas começam a se comparar umas com as outras e desejam ser mais estimadas que as demais por seus semelhantes. Desse modo, o amor-próprio seria o grande responsável pelo desenvolvimento das desigualdades sociais entre as pessoas. Esse trabalho, porém, deseja mostrar que o amor-próprio, enquanto um sentimento artificial, é, em si mesmo, neutro e dependente das condições sociais que está inserido. Dessa forma, podem haver dois tipos de amor-próprio – o inflamado e o igualitarista - que só poderá ser determinado pelo modo como as instituições sociais estarão organizadas e, portanto, as desigualdades não podem ser vistas como uma implicação direta do amor-próprio, pois dependeriam dos arranjos sociais. A partir dessa leitura, há uma teoria normativa das desigualdades sociais, que é independente das ações humanas, no pensamento de Rousseau, sobre a qual a ideia de que as pessoas são naturalmente boas permanece assegurada e se pode defender a ideia da continuidade entre as obras do filósofo genebrino, bem como a possibilidade da criação de um Estado Civil justo (frente ao diagnóstico do Segundo Discurso).

Opportunities and Challenges for Digital Social Prescribing in Mental Health: Questionnaire Study
Authors: Patel Shivani , Craigen Gerry , Pinto da Costa Mariana , Inkster Becky
Published: January 2021

Background

The concept of digital social prescription usually refers to social prescriptions that are facilitated by using technology. Tools that enable such digital social prescriptions may be beneficial in recommending nonmedical activities to people with mental illness. As these tools are still somewhat novel and emerging, little is known about their potential advantages and disadvantages.

Objective

The objective of this study is to identify the potential opportunities and challenges that may arise from digital social prescriptions.

Methods

We developed a qualitative questionnaire that was disseminated through social media (Facebook and Twitter). A purposive sample targeting digital mental health experts and nonexperts was approached. The questionnaire asked participants’ views about digital social prescription; the core elements linked with a definition of digital social prescription; and the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with digital social prescription.

Results

Four core elements were recommended to define the concept of digital social prescription: digital, facilitate, user, and social. The main strength identified was the possibility to rapidly start using digital social prescription tools, which were perceived as cost-effective. The main weaknesses were their poor adherence and difficulties with using such tools. The main opportunities were an increased access to social prescription services and the prevention of serious mental illness. The main threats were certain groups being disadvantaged, patients being subject to unintended negative consequences, and issues relating to confidentiality and data protection.

Conclusions

Although digital social prescriptions may be able to effectively augment the social prescriptions, a careful consideration of practical challenges and data ethics is imperative in the design and implementation of such technologies.

Decision Support Systems (DSS) are essential tools for forest management practitioners to help take account of the many environmental, economic, administrative, legal and social aspects in forest management. This paper is concerned with the technique to develop DSS for forest management system to evaluate models and methods considering all the important factors to categorize the problem. The problem is based on temporal and spatial parameters, number of objectives, decision makers and goods and services. Some of these problem dimensions are inter-related, and we also found a significant relationship between various methods and problem dimensions, all of which have been analysed using contingency tables. The results showed that 63% of forest DSS use simulation modeling methods and these are particularly related to the spatial context and spatial scale and the number of people involved in taking a decision. The analysis showed how closely Multiple Criteria Decision Making is linked to problem types involving the consideration of the number of objectives, also with the goods and services. On the other hand, there was no significant relationship between optimization and statistical methods and problem dimensions, although they have been applied to approximately 60% and 16% of problems solved by DSS for forest management, respectively. Metaheuristics and spatial statistical methods are promising new approaches to deal with certain problem formulations and data sources. Nine out of ten DSS used an associated information system, but the availability and quality of data continue to be an important constraining issue, and one that could cause considerable difficulty in implementing DSS in practice. Very often DSS is used largely based to study market economy. The results suggest a strong need to improve the capabilities of DSS in this regard, developing and applying MCDM models and incorporating them in the design of DSS for forest management in coming years.

Risk of farmland degradation induced by traffic of tracked and a tired vehicles: Soil stress measurements and model simulations
Authors: Zhao Ding , Munkholm Lars J. , Damme Loraine ten , Lamandé Mathieu
Published: January 2021

Vehicle traffic induced soil compaction has negative effects on soil
functions and ecosystems which may cause the degradation of farmland.
This study investigated the magnitude and distribution of soil stress
under the tracked and tired vehicles to explore the penitential of using
rubber track instead of tire to reduce the subsoil compaction. The field
experiment in this study included three replicates and was conducted on
a sandy loam soil. Vertical and horizontal soil stress were measured
under the centerlines of the rubber track and tire at a depth of 0.35m
by using embedded transducers. The SoilFlex model was applied to
simulate vertical and horizontal stress in the soil profile. Unevenly
distributed vertical and horizontal stress were observed under the tire
and rubber track. The vertical stress was characterized by one peak
under the tire and several peaks under each of track wheels and rollers.
The horizontal stress exhibited peaks before and after the tire and each
of track wheels and rollers. The measured maximum stress was
significantly higher under the tire than under the rubber track: that
is, vertical and horizontal stress were approximately 3.4 and 2.0 times
higher, respectively. This finding indicated that using rubber track
maybe an effective method to reduce soil stress when compared with the
tire, and was more effective in reducing the vertical stress than
horizontal stress. Improving the uniformity of stress distribution under
the track is the key to improve the ability of tracked vehicle to
mitigate soil compaction.

An evaluation of the loading condition on mixed-mode stress intensity factors for CTST specimens made of 2024-T351 aluminum alloy
Authors: Khatammanesh Afshin , Farhangdoost Khalil , Ghahremani-Moghadam Danial
Published: January 2021

In this research paper, the unstable fracture of 2024-T351 aluminum
alloy is studied under a variety of in-plane and out-of-plane mixed-mode
loading conditions including pure mode I and pure mode III loadings. A
recently proposed loading device with compact tension shear tearing
(CTST) specimens is employed for performing fracture experiments.
Three-dimensional finite element analyses using the M-integral approach
are conducted to derive the stress intensity factors distributions along
the crack front for different mixed-mode configurations. The numerical
results reveals that the coupled effect of modes II and III can be
observed under mixed-modes I/II, I/III and I/II/III loading conditions.
Furthermore, the values of stress intensity factors at the midsection of
the specimens are used to predict the critical loads based on different
mixed-mode criteria. A good consistency is observed between the
theoretical predictions of the criteria and the experimental results for
different loading conditions.
Pleistocene origin and colonization history of Lobelia columnaris Hook. f. (Campanulaceae: Lobelioideae) across sky islands of West Central Africa
Authors: Perez Miguel Perez , Yu Wen-Bin
Published: January 2021

We aimed to infer the phylogenetic relationships of populations of
Lobelia columnaris using chloroplast genomes and estimate the divergence
time to reconstruct its historical colonization on the sky islands of
Bioko and Cameroon. Specifically, we aim to answer the following
questions: (1) What is the phylogenetic relationship among Bioko Island
and Cameroon populations? (2) Are the older populations found on the
older sky islands? (3) Does the colonization history reflect the age of
the sky islands? We assembled novel plastomes from 20 individuals of L.
columnaris from five mountain systems. The plastome data was explored
with phylogenetic analyses using Maximum likelihood and Bayesian
Inference. The complete plastome size varied from 164,609 bp to 165,368
bp. The populations of L. columnaris have a monophyletic origin,
subdivided into three plastome-geographic clades. The plastid
phylogenomic results and age of the sky islands indicate that L.
columnaris colonized first along the Cameroon Volcanic Line’s young sky
islands. The earliest divergent event (1.54 Ma) split the population in
South Bioko from those on the mainland and North Bioko. The population
of South Bioko was likely isolated during cold and dry conditions in
forest refugia. Presumably, the colonization history occurred during the
middle-late Pleistocene from South Bioko’s young sky island to North
Bioko and the northern old sky islands in Cameroon. Furthermore, the
central depression with lowland forest between North and South Bioko is
a current geographic barrier that keeps separate the populations of
Bioko from each other and the mainland populations. The Pleistocene
climatic oscillations led to the divergence of the Cameroon and Bioko
populations into three clades. L. columnaris colonized the older sky
island in mainland Cameroon after establishing South Bioko’s younger sky
islands. The biogeography history was an inverse progression concerning
the age of the Afromontane sky islands.

collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were
performed to identify the risk factors for prolonged mechanical
ventilation (>24 h) after surgery, and a mathematical model
was established. Then, using data from another centre, we adopted an ROC
curve to verify the scalability of the model. Results: A total of 585
paediatric patients were eligible for inclusion in this study.
Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that weight (kg), the
size of the ventricular septal defect, the size of the atrial septal
defect and the shunt direction of the defect site were significantly
correlated with prolonged mechanical ventilation (>24 h)
after surgery. The risk prediction model was established and the area
under the curve of the model was 0.853 (ROC curve). A set of data from
another heart centre, with equivalent inclusion criteria, was used to
validate the scalability of the model, and the area under the curve of
the accepted validated data was 0.841 (ROC curve). Conclusions: The risk
of prolonged mechanical ventilation (>24 h) after surgery
in paediatric patients with simple congenital heart disease with
anatomical correction assisted by cardiopulmonary bypass can be well
predicted by using preoperative clinical data.

Published: January 2021

Las nuevas teorías de los procesos de enseñanza en todos los niveles se han separado de las pasadas metodologías del aprendizaje en donde en algunas se priorizaba más la transmisión del conocimiento; sin embargo, actualmente esta tendencia ha cambiado, pues el alumno ahora es concebido como el principal actor en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Objetivo: Se determinó el empoderamiento del estudiante universitario ante las nuevas prácticas educativas en la educación superior. Métodos: Se realizó una investigación exploratoria, descriptiva y transversal; la muestra estuvo constituida por 113 alumnos a los cuales se aplicó un instrumento tipo encuesta conformado por cuatro apartados correspondiente a las siguientes variables: desarrollo de contenidos temáticos, herramientas didácticas, apoyo docente e interacción del alumno y profesor. Resultados: Se destaca la percepción de los alumnos en cuanto al desarrollo de contenidos temáticos por parte del profesor; en concreto, 43 % consideró una mayor inclinación hacia los contenidos prácticos y 36.28 % hacia los contenidos teóricos; esto se suele realizar mediante el uso de herramientas didácticas tales como las maquetas, el pizarrón y las plataformas virtuales. Asimismo, resultaron relevantes los factores que intervienen en la interacción profesor-alumno, tales como la puntualidad, el conocimiento y la práctica ética. Conclusiones: Se muestra la participación del estudiante relacionado con las expectativas en su formación profesional, enfatizando mejoras en los contenidos curriculares, en las actividades extracurriculares de los programas de estudios, así como una docencia centrada en el acompañamiento y dirección del estudiante.

Published: January 2021

El sector educativo está cambiando con la evolución e implantación de nuevas tecnologías. Hasta hace poco, las plataformas virtuales para el desarrollo de actividades educativas, el software colaborativo de e-learning e incluso los dispositivos móviles como las tabletas electrónicas eran recursos impensables en un aula. Sin embargo, debido a la evolución de la tecnología, se han venido desarrollando nuevas herramientas didácticas para fortalecer la educación, entre estas tenemos sistemas tutores inteligentes (ITS), los cuales están diseñados para fortalecer el aprendizaje dentro y fuera del aula. Por eso, el objetivo principal de este trabajo es el análisis del uso y características de los sistemas de tutoría inteligente como programas de enseñanza asistida por computadora, los cuales utilizan técnicas de inteligencia artificial para la representación del conocimiento y así proponer/dirigir una enseñanza preparada para comportase como un experto capaz de realizar un diagnóstico situacional del alumno y, en relación con ello, ofrecer una solución o acción. Para cumplir este objetivo se estudiaron los diferentes componentes de un sistema de tutoría inteligente y su implementación en diferentes áreas de conocimiento de las ciencias.

Aim: In our study, we aimed to determine the frequency of functional constipation in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders by child and adolescent psychiatry and mental health.Materials and Methods: Between September 2017 and September 2018, children with autism spectrum disorder who applied to BakırköySadiKonuk Education and Research Hospital Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic were evaluated by means of childhood autism rating scale (CARS). A total of 108 patients were evaluated with the Roman IV criteria and the frequency of functional constipation was investigated.Results: A total of 108 cases, 87% (n = 94) male and 13% (n = 14) female, were studied. The ages of the patients were between 2 and 15 years and the mean age was 6.89 ± 2.76. Organic constipation was not detected in patients with constipation and all of them were diagnosed as functional constipation. There was no statistically significant difference between the rates of functional constipation in cases according to gender. The incidence of functional constipation in males was significantly higher in patients with severe autism than in those with mild to moderate autism. “Two or fewer defecations in the toilet per week” criteria was found significantly higher in girls than in boys. No significant difference was found for the other five criteria according to gender. Each of the six criteria of the Rome IV criteria were found to be significantly higher in patients with severe autism than those with mild to moderate autism according to CARS scores. One of the Roman IV criteria, “History of large diameter stools that may obstruct the toilet” was found significantly higher in patients aged nine years and older. No significant correlation was found between the other criteria and age groups.Conclusion: All of the six criteria of the Roman IV criteria were significantly higher in cases with severe autism according to CARS, compared to those with mild to moderate autism.

Published: January 2021

Financial inclusion becomes a priority concern with governments in ASEAN countries such as reduce the  lack  of  access  for  public  to  formal  financial  institutions.  Moreover,  there  is  an  empirical  gap  of linkages between institutions and financial inclusion. Thus, the study aims to estimate the effect of institutions on dynamic financial inclusion. Three financial inclusion indicators are employed, namely: debit card ownership, credit card ownership, and domestic credit to GDP ratio. Institutional indicators consist of six indicators following world governance indicators. The research observations are about 88 consisting of cross-sections were eight of ASEAN countries and the time series was 2008-2018. Indeed, a dynamic panel data was employed. In general, the findings exhibit that FEM is the appropriate model under Hausman test. Specifically, debit card ownership and credit card ownership were determined by voice and accountability, and rule of law while domestic credit to GDP ratio was determined by some indicators of institutions such as voice and accountability, political stability, regulatory quality, and control of corruption. Hence, the policy implications were directed to improve the quality of institutions both country and ASEAN levels. The high quality of institutions will stimulate the acceleration and expansion of financial inclusion in ASEAN countries.
