THE PHSYIOLOGICAL CHARACTER OF BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM BANANA’S RHIZOSPHERE FROM MALAKA, EAST NUSA TENGGARA, AND THEIR ROLE ON PLANT GROWTH PROMOTION ON MARGINAL LAND
Authors: Napitupulu Toga Pangihotan , Kanti Atit , Sudiana I Made 
Published: January 2020

The objective of the study was to isolate microorganism that can produce growth hormone, fix atmospheric nitrogen, and solubilize inorganic phosphate that may be used for enhancing the growth of banana in marginal land. A total of 25 bacteria associated with banana that belonged to six genera were isolated from namely Acinetobacter, Enterobacter, Pantoea, Klebsiella, Rhizobium, and Cupriavidus genera. Gammaproteobacteria is the dominant class, followed by Betaproteobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria. All isolates were screened for multiple plant growth promoting traits which may play a role in banana growth, namely fixing nitrogen, solubilizing phosphate, and producing Indole Acetic Acid (IAA). Twenty-two isolates were capable to fix nitrogen, 21 isolates can solubilize insoluble phosphate, and 15 isolates produced IAA dependent of L-Tryptophan presence. Despite most of the bacteria isolates exhibited one plant growth-promoting activities, Enterobacter and Klebsiella genera showed three of plant growth promoting bacteria traits.

Climate change impacts on cattle production: analysis of cattle herders’ climate variability/change adaptation strategies in Nigeria
Authors: Ayanlade Ayansina , Ojebisi Stephen M. 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The study examines the seasonality in climate and extreme weather events, and its effect on cattle production in the Guinea Savannah ecological zone of Nigeria. The study uses both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Climate data of 34 years were used to examine the trends in rainfall pattern and climate variability while household survey was used to appraise the herders’ awareness of climate variability/change impacts and adaptation strategies. Cumulative Departure Index (CDI) method was used to assess the extreme weather events while descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic (MNL) regression model were used to identify the factors that determined herders’ adaptation strategies to climate change. The results revealed a significant spatiotemporal variation in both rainfall and temperature with CDI ranging from -1.39 to 3.3 and -2.3 to 1.81 respectively. The results revealed a reduction in the amount of water available for cattle production. From survey results, 97.5% of the herders identified drought as the major extreme weather event affecting livestock productivities in the study region. In the herder’s perception, the droughts are more severe in recent years than 34 years ago. The results from MNL revealed that extreme weather events, such as drought, has a positive likelihood on migration, at a 10% level of significance, the events has led to migration of cattle herders from the northern part of the study area toward the southern part in recent years.
Hybrid Learning Spaces for Design Thinking
Authors: Kohls Christian 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
As design thinking becomes more and more important in higher education, we need to think about ways to enable educators and students to learn about the concepts and apply them to their own projects. One approach is to create hybrid learning spaces with tools that support design thinking and offer affordances for the various methods, ways of working and thinking. Hybridity dissolves existing dichotomies such as physical-digital, formal-informal, learning-teaching and individual-collective. This article introduces design principles and patterns to develop such spaces for university campuses. We will describe how we identified, applied and tested them. Based on these findings we can provide recommendations for planning new hybrid spaces for design thinking at other universities.
Applicability of NGGM near-real time simulations in flood detection
Authors: Purkhauser A. F. , Koch J. A. , Pail R. 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The GRACE mission has demonstrated a tremendous potential for observing mass changes in the Earth system from space for climate research and the observation of climate change. Future mission should on the one hand extend the already existing time series and also provide higher spatial and temporal resolution that is required to fulfil all needs placed on a future mission. To analyse the applicability of such a Next Generation Gravity Mission (NGGM) concept regarding hydrological applications, two GRACE-FO-type pairs in Bender formation are analysed. The numerical closed loop simulations with a realistic noise assumption are based on the short arc approach and make use of the Wiese approach, enabling a self-de-aliasing of high-frequency atmospheric and oceanic signals, and a NRT approach for a short latency.
Numerical simulations for future gravity mission concepts are based on geophysical models, representing the time-variable gravity field. First tests regarding the usability of the hydrology component contained in the Earth System Model (ESM) by the European Space Agency (ESA) for the analysis regarding a possible flood monitoring and detection showed a clear signal in a third of the analysed flood cases. Our analysis of selected cases found that detection of floods was clearly possible with the reconstructed AOHIS/HIS signal in 20% of the tested examples, while in 40% of the cases a peak was visible but not clearly recognisable.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
African indigenous vegetables (AIVs) have long been known in South African rural communities as essential food that is being consumed with starchy staples, and their consumption has increased over the past few decades. There is now a growing interest and awareness of AIVs due to their nutritional benefits and outstanding potential to generate farm incomes. However, several factors are militating against their production along the supply chains of value addition. This study analysed the technical efficiency of AIVs production in Vhembe district of Limpopo province. The data were collected from 114 AIVs farmers through a multi-stage sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using Stochastic Frontier model via the Cobb-Douglas production function. The results revealed that the average age and years of farming experiences of the farmers were 59.6 and 30.9 years respectively. About 84% of the farmers lacked access to formal credit, while 92% had access to extension services. Elasticity values of land area cultivated, fertiliser, seeds, labour and tractor days in relation to AIV production were 0.4441, 0.1749, 0.1311, 0.2663 and 0.2360 respectively. Furthermore, the results revealed that average technical efficiency in the production of indigenous vegetables was 0.79%. The variables that significantly influenced technical inefficiency were years of schooling, extension services, gender and access to the irrigation system. In conclusion, production of AIV exhibits decreasing returns to scale. However, promotion of AIV production and efficiency requires consideration of gender issues in accessing resources, educational attainments of farmers, access to irrigation services and proper reorientation of the components of agricultural extension services delivery in order to benefit AIV farmers.

Published: January 2020

The article describes the role of interdisciplinarity in the process of making science. Two patterns of research and development of discipline are presented: the closed pattern which concentrates on specialization and the open pattern which fosters interdisciplinary science. The key to success is always openness for new scientific experiences and communities. The conclusion of the article is a proposal for finding new scientific communities, which could be interested in new ideas, research and thoughts where interdisciplinary analyses are not acceptable to the local scientific community.
Study of strength and stability of a composite transmission tower
Authors: Bhowmik Chiranjit , Chakraborti Prasun 
Published: January 2020

This research study reports a finite-element (FE) analysis undertaken to determine the strength and stability of a transmission tower constructed with a carbon-fibre-reinforced epoxy composite under different loading conditions. The loading conditions such as wind, weight of wires and self-weight of structures were calculated manually and applied in the FE model. Different loading conditions including the broken wire condition (BWC) were innovatively considered in this paper. The results showed that at the transmission tower, the components near to the base of the structure had much less longitudinal stress. At different loading conditions, including BWC, the composite material was found to be competent. An innovative design approach incorporating stability analysis was found to be appropriate for determining the stability and structural safety of the tower.

Authors: Hassan Medhat S. 
Published: January 2020

Background: The aim of the study is to facilitate choosing the surgical technique that will be suitable for improving both function and aesthetics of each patient through this suggested algorithm system. Any post burn neck contracture usually causes severe impairment of function and aesthetics, which causes serous psychological and social problems. That’s why it is very important to sub-categorize this type of deformity by anatomical location and cause of burn to allow choosing the ideal method of surgical management.Methods: This is a prospective study which was performed in Plastic Surgery Department, Menoufia University Hospitals over the period from March 2017 to March 2019. The study included 30 patients suffering post burn neck contracture deformities.Results: Patients were carefully examined, and the post burn neck deformities were analyzed according to age, condition of skin at the contracture site, the range of sternomastoid muscles movement at both sides of the neck and patient's general condition. Patients were given scores and categorized into 4 grades. And according to each patient's grade, the suitable surgical technique was chosen and fulfilled. 25 patients showed great satisfaction to their post operative’s outcomes and the rest were poorly satisfied.Conclusions: Application of patients with post burn neck contractures to this algorithm system will make it easy to choose the ideal method of management and gain the best surgical results possible when performing surgical correction.

Published: January 2020

This research aims to analyze the direct and indirect effect of work-family conflict on performance and career development of married women bank employees. Work-family conflict is measured by using the indicator of work affect to family and family affect to work while performance is measured using indicators assessments: quality of work, punctuality, attitude, and effectiveness. Career development is measured by indicators of education, training, reward and punishment, family support, and rotation. All assessment is based on self-evaluations. Purposive sampling is used of 38 married women employees working in the state-owned bank, and using path analysis of PLS (partial least square) as a statistical analysis measurement combining with qualitative analysis to describe the results of statistical analysis for each independent variable and its effects on the dependent variable. The result of this study showed that work-family conflict has a negative effect on performance and career development. But performance has an insignificant effect on career development.

Published: January 2020

<p> Currently India is experiencing dual nutrition burden. Prevalence of both under and over nutrition is reported to be higher in women as compared to men. Over nutrition rates in Delhi are among the highest in India. A mixed longitudinal study was undertaken to assess nutritional status of urban women from low middle income families. Between January 2015 and December 2017, 4155 non-pregnant non-lactating women were enrolled for this observational study. These women belonged to food secure low middle income families. They were living in highly congested urban localities in one or two room tenements and had no access to public spaces where they could go for walk or discretionary physical activities. In all women, height was measured at enrolment. Efforts were made to measure weight, mid upper arm, waist and hip circumferences once in three months. Prevalence of under nutrition (BMI &lt; 18.5) in the 18-29 years age group was 12.1%, but 33.9% had BMI of ≥25. There was a progressive increase in over-nutrition, high waist and hip circumferences with increasing age; 68.4% of women aged 50 years and above were over-nourished. None of the undernourished women had waist circumference ≥ 80 cm; among the normally nourished 8.5% and in the over-nourished women 3/4th had waist circumference above 80cm. Hip circumference showed a similar trend but prevalence of ≥ 102 cm was lower. Prevalence of over nutrition, truncal and abdominal adiposity was high in women from Delhi low middle income families.</p>

Published: January 2020

» Acute bacterial septic arthritis of the knee is an orthopaedic emergency and, if left untreated, can result in substantial joint degradation.» Important risk factors for development of septic arthritis include age of >60 years, recent bacteremia, diabetes, cancer, cirrhosis, renal disease, drug or alcohol abuse, a history of corticosteroid injection, a recent injury or surgical procedure, a prosthetic joint, and a history of rheumatoid arthritis.» The diagnosis is primarily based on history and clinical presentation of a red, warm, swollen, and painful joint with limited range of motion. Laboratory values and inflammatory markers from serum and joint fluid may serve as adjuncts when there is clinical suspicion of septic arthritis.» The initial and general antibiotic regimen should cover methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative and gram-positive organisms. The antibiotic regimen should be specified following the culture results of the infected joint.» Operative management involves either arthrotomy or arthroscopy of the knee with thorough irrigation and debridement of all infected tissue. The Gächter classification is useful in establishing a prognosis or in determining the need for an extensive debridement.
Healing properties of geraniol – a review of the literature
Authors: Bieda Anna , Wróblewska Agnieszka , Miądlicki Piotr 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Introduction: In recent years, there has been a significant increase in interest in substances of plant origin that could act as potential therapeutics for prevention as well as for the treatment of many diseases, including infections. As an example, you can give compounds called terpenes, as well as their derivatives, which are components of essential oils. The research showed that they show not only antibacterial and antiviral activity, but also antifungal and antineoplastic.
This article is devoted to a literature review which describes the pharmacological and biological properties of geraniol as a compound that could be used in both prophylaxis and treatment of infectious diseases.

Literature review: This publication particularly draws attention to the use of geraniol in medicine. Most literature reports show that this compound in many cases has a healing effect. It is classified as monoterpene alcohol, showing a characteristic rose aroma. It can be found in oils such as: ginger, lemon, lime, nutmeg, lavender and orange.
Research (both in vitro and in vivo) using geraniol confirmed its efficacy against cancer of the intestine, prostate, liver, kidneys and skin. This action is related to the fact that this compound can induce apoptose as well as increase the expression of proapoptotic proteins. In literature reports, one can also find information that geraniol has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial effects – mainly in diseases related to the digestive and respiratory system. The paper discusses the most important medical applications of geraniol.

Conclusions: Nowadays, one can notice a search for new methods of treatment of infectious diseases in the field of medicine (with a bacterial basis and viral), parasitic and fungal. The wide spectrum of geraniol activity in both the biological and pharmacological sphere makes it a good alternative to synthetic agents that are used in medicine.
The results of previous studies justify the need for further work leading to the use of geraniol on a much wider scale both in prevention and treatment.
