THE COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROJECT BETWEEN WALS AND JSCS. FOCUSING ON SCHOOL-BASED CURRICULUM STUDY AND LESSON STUDY
Authors: Kuramoto T.
Published: October 2024

The significant purpose is firstly to promote “theoretical and practical developmental research” of School-based curriculum study and Lesson Study (1st, 2nd and 3rd circles) through collaboration between the World Association of Lesson Studies (WALS) and the Japanese Society for Curriculum Studies (JSCS). Secondly, international teacher training should be developed using the research results, and effectiveness verification should be conducted. Thirdly, this research project will summarize the points of contact curriculum and lesson research by adding practical findings obtained from verifying the effectiveness of teacher training and further overseas survey research. In doing so, this study will focus on educational thought and practice of pragmatism (in the US, Germany and Asian countries) in the sense of overcoming the dichotomy of curriculum research and compare it with the relevant theory in Japan. Finally, this developmental collaborative research project, in collaboration with WALS and JSCS, will lead to the formation of an international research network in related fields and the mutual improvement of teacher training. Furthermore, based on the above, the ultimate significance of this research is to build the foundation of a collaborative network of international contributions in pedagogy (educational methodology, curriculum studies, teacher education).

Маңызды мақсат, біріншіден, Дүниежүзілік Сабақты зерттеу қауымдастығы (WALS) мен Жапон оқу бағдарламаларын зерттеу қоғамы (JSCS) арасындағы ынтымақтастық арқылы мектептегі оқу бағдарламаларын зерттеу мен Сабақты зерттеу (1, 2 және 3-шеңбер) дамуының «теориялық және практикалық зерттеулерін» ілгерілету. Екіншіден, зерттеу нәтижелерін пайдалана отырып, мұғалімдерді даярлаудың халықаралық бағдарламасын әзірлеу және оның тиімділігін тексеру қажет. Үшіншіден, бұл зерттеу жобасы мұғалімдерді даярлаудың тиімділігін тексеру кезінде алынған практикалық қорытындыларды және шет елдерді одан әрі зерттеуге тарта отырып, оқу бағдарламалары мен сабақтарды зерттеудің ортақ тұстарын көрсетеді. Бұл ретте ұсынылған зерттеу оқу бағдарламаларын зерттеудің дихотомиясын еңсеру және Жапониядағы тиісті теориямен салыстыру мағынасында прагматизмнің (АҚШ, Германия және Азия елдерінде) педагогикалық ойы мен практикасына бағытталатын болады. Қорытындылай келе, бұл WALS пен JSCS бірлескен ғылыми- зерттеуі межелес салаларда халықаралық ғылыми-зерттеу желісінің қалыптасуына және халықаралық деңгейде мұғалімдердің біліктілігін арттырудың өзара жақсаруына әкеледі. Сондай-ақ, жоғарыда айтылғандарға сүйене отырып, бұл зерттеудің түпкі мәні педагогикаға (білім беру әдістемесі, оқу жоспары, мұғалімдерді оқыту) қосатын халықаралық үлестің бірлескен желісінің негізін қалау.

Effects of Multimodal Analgesia Combined with Comfort Management on Pain and Stress Indexes in Patients with Orthopedic Trauma after Intervention: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Zuo Haining , Liu Chao , Fan Wenchuang , Lu Xing
Published: October 2024

AIM: This study aims to assess the impact of combining multimodal analgesia with comfort care on pain levels, stress, negative emotions, and quality of life in individuals recovering from traumatic fractures.
METHODS: This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from traumatic fracture patients who underwent emergency operations at our hospital between June 2022 and February 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on their postoperative pain management: the control group, which received standard measures, and the exposure group, which received a combination of multimodal analgesia and comfort-based care. We compared these groups for pain intensity (baseline and activity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores), serum stress biomarkers (norepinephrine, adrenaline, cortisol), emotional distress (self-rating depression scale (SDS), and the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS)), and overall quality of life (Comprehensive Quality of Life Assessment Questionnaire (GQOLI-74) score). Overall, this study evaluated differences in postoperative complications between the two pain management approaches.
RESULTS: In this study, we included 101 participants, 41 in the exposed group and 60 in the control group. Before the intervention, baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups (p > 0.05). However, one week after the intervention, the resting and active VAS scores were significantly reduced in the exposed group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, one week after the intervention, the exposed group had lower levels of serum sodium, epinephrine, cortisol, stress, and anxiety, as well as higher physical and mental health scores on the GQOLI-74 scale. During the intervention period, there was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Combining multi-mode analgesia with comfort management for patients with traumatic fractures significantly reduces postoperative pain and stress levels. Additionally, this approach can effectively enhance patients' negative emotions and improve their quality of life. This approach holds significant promise for practical use in clinical settings.

Authors: Fang Yuanyuan , He Min , Zhang Xiaoying
Published: October 2024

AIM: The administration of anticoagulation therapy during major orthopedic surgeries is a clinical challenge due to the risk of thrombotic events and bleeding complications. This review aims to evaluate the current strategies and emerging developments in perioperative anticoagulation reversal.
METHODS: We conducted a literature review on the management of perioperative anticoagulant therapy, which included the current status of anticoagulant reversal agents, as well as personalized medicine, pharmacogenomics, artificial intelligence (AI), and novel drug delivery systems.
RESULTS: The review indicates that reversal agents such as idarucizumab and andexanet alfa are crucial in managing bleeding associated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Personalized medicine, guided by pharmacogenomics, allows for tailored anticoagulation regimens. AI and machine learning (ML) algorithms can enhance the predictive capabilities for bleeding and thrombotic risks. Additionally, nanotechnology and biomarkers offer innovative approaches to drug delivery and personalized treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Integrating evidence-based guidelines with innovative reversal agents, personalized medicine, AI and nanotechnology opens a new era in perioperative anticoagulation management. These advancements can ensure patient safety, minimize bleeding risks, and improve surgical outcomes. Future research should focus on the clinical validation of these strategies to ensure their effectiveness across diverse patient populations.
Clinical Effect of Percutaneous Kyphoplasty and Percutaneous Vertebroplasty in Managing Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Single-Center Propensity Score-Matched Study
Authors: Cai Danyu , Zhang Biao , Li Jun , Wang Pao , Tao Xian
Published: October 2024

AIM: This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in managing osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs).
METHODS: This retrospective study included 268 elderly OVCF individuals, and 144 individuals were selected after propensity score matching. General patient information, perioperative conditions, vertebral height and Cobb angle, lumbar spinal function, degree of pain, incidence of complications, and fracture recurrence rates were compared and analyzed for the patients.
RESULTS: The PKP group exhibited longer surgical duration, greater intraoperative blood loss, and more frequent X-ray fluoroscopy during the perioperative period compared to the PVP group (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the two groups. Furthermore, PKP surgery significantly improved vertebral height, corrected spinal posture, and enhanced lumbar spinal function while mitigating pain levels within the 12-month postoperative period (p < 0.05). Additionally, the PKP group showed substantially lower rates of bone cement leakage, nerve injury, and fracture recurrence than the PVP group (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to PVP, PKP demonstrates better clinical effectiveness with lower incidence of complications in managing OVCF. However, surgical time and intraoperative trauma should be considered.

Published: October 2024

AIM: This study aims to explore the impact of endotracheal tube cuff deflation methods on extubation stress responses and postoperative pharyngeal complications in patients treated with gynecological laparoscopic surgery.
METHODS: In this study, retrospective clinical data of 94 patients treated with gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia in Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital from June 2023 to June 2024 were collected and analyzed. Patients were assigned into two groups based on the cuff deflation methods used after anesthesia: Group A (45 patients) adopted a one-time deflation method, while Group B (49 patients) employed a gradual deflation method. Surgery-associated indicators were recorded, with heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), rate pressure product (RPP), epinephrine (E), norepinephrine (NE), and cortisol (Cor) levels monitored at selected time points: before cuff (T0), immediately after extubation (T1), 1 minute post-extubation (T2), 5 minutes post-extubation (T3), and 10 minutes post-extubation (T4). The incidence of pharyngeal complications was also compared between the two groups.
RESULTS: Compared with Group A, Group B displayed smaller variations in HR, MAP, and RPP at T1, T2, and T3 (p < 0.05). Group B also showed smaller variations in E, NE, and Cor levels at T2, T3, and T4 in contrast with Group A (p < 0.05). The incidence of complications such as coughing, sore throat, and hoarseness was conspicuously attenuated in Group B compared to Group A (6.12% vs 22.22%, p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Gradual deflation of the endotracheal tube cuff dramatically ameliorates extubation stress responses, stabilizes hemodynamics, and alleviates pharyngeal discomfort in patients treated with gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Attrition in the teaching profession continues to be a major problem in Florida’s schools. A random sample of 310 teachers from a metropolitan school district in Florida anonymously responded to questions about their long range teaching plans, demographic characteristics, current work conditions, professional activities, and educational views. The responses of teachers who plan to quit teaching (31%) were compared with those who plan to remain teachers. Results show that those who contemplate quitting differ in several important ways from those who plan to continue.
The Impact of Trifocalization on Philippine Education Outcomes and the Coordination Issue
Authors:   Philippine Institute for Development Studies, Paqueo Vicente , Sister Johanna Marie Astrid , Sarne Solomon , Lavega Marie Louissie Ynez , Orbeta Aniceto Jr. , Abrigo Michael , Maddawin Ricxie ,   EDCOM 2 - The Second Congressional Commission on Education
Published: October 2024

Thirty-two years ago, the First Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM I) established a trifocalized Philippine Educational and Training System (PETS) to ramp up the achievement of the country’s educational and training goals. EDCOM I aimed to raise the system’s performance by transforming the PETS from a centralized Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS) into a system comprising three separate national education agencies, each vested with the responsibility and authority to lead on education and training matters. These agencies are the Department for Basic Education (DepEd), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). Despite well-intentioned reform efforts advocated by EDCOM I, the PETS is not performing as well as education and development leaders had hoped. This state of affairs has led some influential leaders and advisers of EDCOM II to call for a reversal or modification of the current trifocalized PETS. This study seeks to address the aforementioned concerns and to analyze the proposal to reverse or modify trifocalization. To this end, the analysis aims to determine the impact of trifocalization on desired education and skills development outcomes in the Philippines using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. This study finds that trifocalization has had no statistically significant impact on education outcomes at conventional confidence levels. The empirical results are consistent with findings from key informant interviews. Furthermore, the study discusses why a trifocalized PETS might not work as expected. Given its findings, the report offers several reform ideas that EDCOM II may want to consider to enable and incentivize the trifocalized system to function more effectively, especially regarding coordination and other issues that key informants regard as fundamental. One recommendation is the establishment of an independent agency with oversight responsibilities and powers to hold DepEd, CHED, and TESDA and other related agencies accountable for their performance in the PETS.

Published: October 2024

The goal of this study was to look into the Higher Education Institution’s (HEI) faculty and students’ resilience and adversity amidst challenges in life. A descriptive correlational research design was employed in this study, with data drawn from the faculty respondents having a normal level of resilience while the students have low resilience in facing adversities. Furthermore, there was no significant relationship between gender, age, and marital status with the resilience level of the faculty. However, there is a negative correlation with gender and marital status to the level of students’ resilience. Thus, it is recommended to have interventions on some factors such as promoting the well-being of the graduate faculty and students, internet connectivity problems, and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) literacy in using the new learning modality.

Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of text messaging on the spelling performance skills of the learners in selected elementary schools. It utilized the descriptive method of research to explore the prevailing or existing condition as to the extent of text messaging and the spelling performance of the learners. The findings revealed in the dictation and written test of the learners that their spelling skills highest frequency was “Good.” Further, the results showed a highly significant relationship between the extent of cellphone use on text messaging and the spelling performance of the learners. However, some of the participants contradicted the views mentioned, according to them, using a cellphone in texting can be used as a tool to enhance the spelling performance of the learners due to the built-in features of grammar and spelling. Therefore, it is concluded that text messaging can be used as a tool to support instruction in the spelling skills of the learners. Further, it is recommended to give full guidance on the proper usage of a cellphone to appropriately correct the learners’ spelling skills.

Published: October 2024

Resumen de los trabajos de campo desarrollados durante la intervención de urgencia de otoño de 2009 en Las Quintanas y la campaña veraniega de 2010 en la necrópolis de Las Ruedas y, de nuevo, en la ciudad de Las Quintanas. En la primera de ellas, se pudo documentar una muralla que pudo alcanzar una altura mínima de unos seis metros; en su cara externa se adosaba a la misma un torreón semicircular de cuatro metros de diámetro. Asimismo, delante del muro, se documentó un complejo sistema de tres fosos sucesivos, separados por resaltes y estacadas. Durante el verano de 2010 se pudo constatar la existencia de una berma de unos seis metros de anchura y se definió la extensión y organización del sistema de fosos. La intervención en el cementerio afectó a una superficie de 96 m², distribuidos en seis sectores, donde destaca la alta densidad de grandes estelas calizas documentadas, si bien arrastradas y desplazadas de modo que los veintidós enterramientos exhumados no presentaban un óptimo grado de conservación. A pesar de ello, las casi trescientas piezas recuperadas proporcionan, de nuevo, un importante volumen de información contextualizada (mediados del siglo II e inicios del siglo I a. C.). Destacan los broches tipo Bureba (tumba 232), los cuatro colgantes de barro que imitan joyas (235), las azadillas en miniatura (236 y 245) y una campanilla de bronce (225).

Authors: Brigo Damiano , Dalessandro Antonio , Neugebauer Matthias , Triki Fares
Published: October 2024

In risk management it is desirable to grasp the essential statistical features of a time series representing a risk factor. this paper aims to introduce a number of different stochastic processes that can help in grasping the essential features of risk factors, describing different asset classes or behaviours. the paper does not aim to be exhaustive, but gives examples and a feeling for practically implementable models, allowing for stylised features in the data. these models can also be used as building blocks to build more complex models, although, for a number of risk management applications, the models developed here suffice for the first step in the quantitative analysis. the broad qualitative features addressed here are fat tails and mean reversion. the introduction, the general framework and fat tails have been addressed in the authors’ paper published in vol. 2, no. 4 of the journal. this paper deals with mean reversion both on its own and jointly with fat tails.

Objetivo: Valorar la utilidad del medidor de flujo espiratorio (PEF) en la monitorización domiciliaria de síntomas asmáticos y en la autopercepción de control tras una formación telemática. Métodos: Estudio cuasi experimental, 63 pacientes asmáticos de entre 18 y 60 años de Gran Canaria. Resultados: Clasificados por el cuestionario ACT pre-intervención, el 39,8% presentaba AMC y el 60,2%, ABC. De los ABC, el 68% eran no fumadores (p=0,031) y el 58% realizaban actividad física moderada o vigorosa regularmente (p=0,022). El 18,07% de la muestra presentó un esquema de tratamiento no clasificable según la GEMA 5.4. El PEF medio en los ABC fue mayor que en los AMC (p=0,022) con una correlación positiva con la puntuación del cuestionario ACT (p=0,034). La variabilidad media fue mayor en los AMC (p=0,011), con mayor proporción de días con variabilidad ≥ 10% (p=0,009) con valores medios de variabilidad del PEF entre 8,54% y el 9,3% (p=0,01 y 0,011, respectivamente). Tendencia a empeorar la puntuación del cuestionario ACT en ABC tras intervención (p=0,015). El 68,3% presentaba indicación de cambio de tratamiento. Conclusiones: La ausencia de tabaco y la actividad física regular se asocian con mejor control del asma. La puntuación del cuestionario ACT se correlaciona con los valores de PEF. La realización del diario de PEF tiende a cambiar la autopercepción del nivel de control. Casi un cuarto de la muestra presentó un tratamiento no clasificable por la GEMA 5.4 y más de la mitad, indicación de cambio de tratamiento: se debe reforzar la atención de los pacientes asmáticos.

This technical review provides an independent analysis of the safety benefits realised by the decommissioning programme. The conclusions of this review will be used by HSE to inform the next iteration of the Iron Mains Enforcement Policy for the period 2026 to 2032.
Effect of Succession Planning on the Sustainability of Family Owned Businesses Evidence From Plateau State, Nigeria
Authors: Dekom Habila Bako , Jingak Dauda Emmanuel , Gontur Silas
Published: October 2024

The study examines the impact of succession planning (SP) on the sustainability of family-owned businesses (FOBs) within Plateau State, Nigeria. A quantitative research methodology was employed utilizing a survey design. Data were gathered from 293 FOBs in Plateau State through structured questionnaires. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the variables and validate the hypotheses. The findings indicated that the engagement of successors in business management (β = .378, t = 2.081, p = 0.038), the training of successors (β = .378, t = 3.520, p = 0.001), and organizational culture (β = .367, t = 3.813, p = 0.000) exhibit a positive association with the sustainability of FOBs. Conversely, internal recruitment (β = .024, t = .213, p = .813) and the successor's work fit (β = - .089, t = - 801, p = .424) do not show a significant positive relationship with the sustainability of FOBs. This research contributes to the existing body of literature by providing empirical evidence regarding the efficacy of succession planning in promoting the sustainability of FOBs in Nigeria through the frameworks of generational theory and socio-emotional wealth theories. The results substantiate the generational theory's assertion that family enterprises prioritize legacy and continuity across generations. Additionally, the socio-emotional wealth theory is supported, as FOBs value non-economic aims, encompassing family harmony and the integrity of their business reputation.

The Primary source of data was participant observation while secondary sources included the use of text books, journals and materials from the internet. The study revealed that the conduct of elections dated back to the colonial era while digitalization of the Electoral process started in 2002. Furthermore, the study discovered that technologies introduced so far in the conduct of elections have been confronted with a lot of infrastructural problems, and socio-economic and political challenges. The benefits of these technologies include but are not limited to reduction in the cost of election, elimination of laborious counting and sorting of votes, last minute changes of information on computer and a host of others. Issues of concern include security of the voting machine, procurement of relevant equipment and test running of the technology. The study concluded that despite all these issues and challenges, it is worthwhile to introduce new technologies in the conduct of elections in the country.

Climate change has caused significant impacts on the daily life of modern society. Changes in temperature, rainfall patterns and the increase in extreme weather events are directly affecting agriculture, water resources, urban infrastructure and public health. The increasing frequency of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods and droughts, forces society to deal with adaptation and mitigation challenges. Economic sectors such as agriculture and tourism are especially vulnerable, as are the poorest populations, who are less able to face the effects of these changes. Furthermore, rampant urbanization and industrialization contribute to increased greenhouse gas emissions, further aggravating the situation. The psychological, social and economic impact of these changes becomes more evident as inequalities are accentuated, with vulnerable communities being the most harmed. Thus, the urgency of concrete actions, both at the local and global level, to mitigate the impacts of climate change, has become one of humanity's main challenges in the 21st century.

Communication in a digital society presents challenges and opportunities that transform the way we connect and share information. With the advancement of information technologies, communication becomes more agile, accessible and democratic. However, this transformation also brings challenges such as the spread of fake news, user privacy and excessive dependence on social networks. New digital platforms offer unique opportunities for business, education and social relationships, enabling global reach. However, the speed of information often compromises the depth of dialogues and the discernment between what is true or manipulation. The exponential growth of online content requires reflection on how to use digital tools ethically and effectively. Furthermore, digital communication creates new forms of interaction, which challenge traditional models and require new communication skills. Digital education and media literacy emerge as solutions to prepare individuals to deal critically with this new environment. Therefore, the balance between the opportunities for innovation and the challenges of maintaining authentic and secure communication is essential for the future of communication in the digital society.

The construction of cultural identity in the digital era is a dynamic and multifaceted phenomenon, driven by technological advancement and globalization. The internet and social networks, as the main contemporary communication vehicles, play a central role in the formation of cultural identities, promoting interaction between people of different cultures and values. In this scenario, cultural identity is no longer static or limited to a geographic space, but becomes fluid, shaped by diverse experiences, including online and offline interactions. The digital age offers unlimited possibilities for cultural expression and recognition, allowing individuals and groups to share their traditions, beliefs and customs with a global audience. At the same time, this constant exposure to different cultures can generate tension between the preservation of local identities and the influence of a dominant global culture. Furthermore, cultural identity in the digital age is often negotiated, where individuals and communities choose which aspects of their culture they want to emphasize or adapt. However, this transformation can also generate challenges, such as cultural homogenization or the risk of cultural appropriation. Therefore, the construction of cultural identity in the digital age is a complex process that involves both the strengthening and transformation of cultural traditions. New digital platforms allow for greater democratization of cultural discourse, but they also pose challenges that need to be recognized and discussed, especially in relation to the preservation of cultural diversity.
Clinical Efficacy Analysis of Acupuncture Treatment in the Acute Phase of Peripheral Facial Paralysis
Authors: Wang Beibei
Published: October 2024

Peripheral facial paralysis, caused by damage to the lower motor neurons of the facial nerve, is a neurological disorder characterized by partial or complete loss of facial expression. It typically manifests suddenly with symptoms such as post-auricular pain, diminished taste, excessive tearing, difficulty speaking, and facial muscle twitching. Depending on the underlying cause, this condition can be categorized into spontaneous facial nerve palsy, peripheral facial paralysis induced by Guillain-Barré syndrome, and peripheral facial paralysis caused by brainstem lesions. Among these, the most common type is Bell’s palsy, which usually presents as sudden unilateral facial muscle paralysis. The incidence rate is approximately 20 to 40 cases per 100,000 people annually, with patients ranging in age from young to old, although it is most prevalent in those aged 20 to 40, and it tends to occur more frequently in men than in women. Conventional treatments for peripheral facial nerve paralysis include hormone therapy, antiviral medication, and surgical intervention. However, hormone therapy may not be effective for some patients due to its side effects, the efficacy of antiviral therapy remains controversial, and surgery is costly and may lead to postoperative complications. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture therapy, with a long-standing history, has been widely used to treat such facial nerve disorders as documented in the "Huangdi Neijing · Suwen."
NURSERY PEST PROBLEMS ON Acacia mangium, Cinamomum cassia and Illicium verum IN BAC KAN PROVINCE, VIETNAM
Authors: Nguyễn Thành
Published: October 2024

Acacia mangium, Cinamomum cassia, and Illicium verum are pivotal forestry species in Bac Kan province, where they contribute significantly to economic and environmental welfare. A. mangium's wood is essential for the pulp industry, while C. cassia and I. verum provide essential oils with extensive industrial applications. Despite their economic value, increased plantation areas have exacerbated insect pest outbreaks, affecting tree growth and yield. However, the focus of previous research on insect pests has primarily been on plantations, leaving nursery infestations largely unexplored. This study aims to overcome this gap by investigating insect pest species diversity in nurseries in Bac Kan province. Field observations and standard plot surveys were conducted in Cho Moi district and Bac Kan city, resulting in the collection of 72 survey forms. The survey revealed significant insect pest species compositions in A. mangium, C. cassia, and I. verum nurseries. Notably, Helopeltis theivora was identified as the primary pest infesting young A. mangium trees, while Echinothrips sp. emerged as the main pest species in C. cassia nurseries, and others affected I. verum nurseries. These findings underscore the need for ongoing monitoring and research to develop effective pest management strategies. Such insights are crucial for sustaining the economic and environmental benefits of these forestry species in Bac Kan province.

Giống Lê VH6 là giống nhập nội từ Đài Loan có giá trị kinh tế cao và hiện đang được trồng trên địa bàn tỉnh Sơn La. Trong nghiên cứu này, chúng tôi tiến hành nghiên cứu nhân giống cây Lê VH6 bằng phương pháp ghép, sử dụng gốc ghép từ cây Mắc cọp (Pyrus granulosa) và hom ghép từ cây Lê VH6 được thu từ vườn cây đầu dòng tại tỉnh Sơn La. Thí nghiệm 1 nhân tố về phương pháp ghép (ghép nêm và ghép nối tiếp) và chiều dài hom ghép đã được triển khai để đánh giá tỷ lệ sống và khả năng sinh trưởng về đường kính và chiều cao chồi ghép. Kết quả nghiên cứu sau 6 tháng cho thấy, cả hai phương pháp ghép đều cho tỷ lệ sống của chồi ghép cao > 96% và không có sự khác biệt giữa hai phương pháp ghép (sig.> 0,05). Tuy nhiên, sinh trưởng đường kính và chiều cao của chồi ghép của phương pháp ghép nối tiếp (0,76 ± 0,11 cm và 70,26 ± 7,77 cm) lớn hơn phương pháp ghép nêm (0,72 ± 0,1 cm và 67,32 ± 7,63 cm) (sig. < 0,05). Với thí nghiệm về chiều dài hom ghép, sử dụng phương pháp ghép nối tiếp sau 6 tháng cho thấy, chiều dài hom ghép từ 6 - 7 cm (CT3) cho tỷ lệ sống cao nhất (96,67 ± 0,58%) và kết quả sinh trưởng tốt về đường kính và chiều cao ( Dchồi: 0,74 ± 0,07 và Hvn: 70,24 ± 6,74 cm). Từ các kết quả nghiên cứu bước đầu cho thấy sử dụng phương pháp ghép nối tiếp với độ dài hom ghép từ 6 - 7cm là phù hợp với việc nhân giống cây Lê VH6 bằng phương pháp ghép tại Sơn La.
