Published: December 2019

To determine the growing and yield performance of low nitrogen tolerant maize varieties under fertilized and unfertilized conditions, a study was conducted at the Mvuazi Research Center. Nine varieties were tested with and without fertilizer using the micro-dosing method, following the randomized complete block design with two factors. The results showed a difference among varieties in both crop conditions. The average yield with fertilizer was higher than the yield without fertilizer. The varieties LNTP-W C4 and LNTP-Y C7 registered 5.9 t/ha and 3.6 t/ha respectively under fertilized crop conditions and 7.14t/ha and 7.12t/ha under unfertilized crop conditions. Thus, using Low-N can minimize production costs by improving the productivity of soils low in Nitrogen typical of conditions of the southwestern savanna.

The African continent has considerable potential to reap the benefits associated with modern agricultural biotechnology. Plant biotechnology and breeding represent an invaluable toolbox to face the challenges of African agriculture, such as food and nutrition security, environment protection, soil fertility, and crop adaptation to new climatic conditions. As Africa has only relatively recently adopted agricultural biotechnology, it has the opportunity to harness the immense knowledge gathered over the last two decades while avoiding some of the difficulties experienced by early adopters. High-level research and education systems together with a specific regulatory framework are critical elements in the development of sustainable biotechnology-based agriculture and industry. The more actors that are involved in Research & Development applied to nutritionally and important local crops, the faster Africa will generate its future African innovators. Here, we discuss the contribution of plant biotechnology to a transformative African agriculture that combines intensification of land productivity and environmental sustainability.

Published: December 2019

The wide variety of products offered by a company, combined with the consistent demands of specific products from customers, create a certain problem for the organization when they want to market a new product. Organization need information that could help them promote the most suitable product based on their customer’s characteristics. The organization also need to suggest alternative products for customer if the requested product is unavailable. In this research, we design a Recommender System that could suggest either new or alternatif products to customer based on their characteristic and transaction history. This proposed system adopts Cosine Similarity method to calculate product similarity score and Content-based Filtering to calculate customer recommendation score and used as a model for the proposed system. Subsequently, these models are used to classify customers as well as products according to their transaction behavior and consequently recommends new products more likely to be purchased by them. Based on the testing results of the proposed system, it can be concluded that the chosen methods can be utilized to recommend products and costumer of products. It is shown that Precision and Recall of product similarity scores and customer recommendation for product scores are 100% and 93.47%.

El mobbing entre congéneres en las instituciones educativas
Authors: Sánchez Ramos Ma. Eugenia 
Published: December 2019

El propósito de este documento es presentar mediante el análisis documental reflexiones sobre el acoso moral o mobbing en los entornos universitarios por mujeres hacia sus congéneres. El estudio cualitativo, exploratorio y descriptivo surge de dos preguntas: ¿Qué las motiva a acosar moralmente a otra mujer? ¿El acoso de la mujer es similar al del varón? La respuesta es compleja debido a la escasez de fuentes e investigaciones centradas en la mujer acosadora moral, y a la falta de casos registrados en las instituciones educativas en donde los protocolos de denuncia están dirigidos exclusivamente al acoso sexual.
El objetivo de la investigación se centra en exponer este fenómeno que se está incrementando debido a la invisibilidad de la mujer como acosadora producto del discurso actual, en donde generalmente es víctima de la violencia; sin embargo, cuando ejerce el rol contrario es aún más efectiva en paralizar y destruir de una forma sutil y silenciosa, disfrazándose en la amistad (Prieto, Carrillo y Castellanos, 2016).
La investigación es documental de enfoque cualitativo. Utilizando la metodología de caso, se acompaña de un análisis hermenéutico, al igual que de la aplicación de la entrevista a informantes clave y de la observación directa como instrumentos de recopilación de datos. El método de interpretación fue la triangulación de datos, lo cual generó las reflexiones expuestas.
Las conclusiones, por tanto, establecen nuevas líneas de investigación, ya que en los casos presentados el líder del acto está oculto y utiliza a la mujer como arma para el acoso y destrucción de sus congéneres, lo que sugiere el desarrollo de nuevos patrones de violencia con la finalidad de evadir la normatividad y los protocolos de detección. Asimismo, a partir del análisis de las fuentes se sugiere que, aunado a que es escasa, la poca investigación existente de agresiones alternativas se encuentra escondida en las publicaciones académicas, ya que la cultura machista ridiculiza la agresión de las mujeres como algo poco femenino, oculto y, a consideración de los investigadores, de poco valor.

Abstract. The objective of this research is to find out whether there is a significant difference between students’ writing recount text before and after being taught by using Instagram as a media or not. In this research, the researcher used quantitative method and used quasi-experiment as the design of the research. The number of sample is 36 students from X MIPA 4 which are taken by using cluster random sampling technique. The researcher uses test as the instrument of the research. The test is in the form of writing test to know the students’ writing ability before and after being taught by using Instagram as a media. The result of the research shows that the students’ mean score have an improvement from 6.8 to 8.8 and from good categorize to excellent categorize. And the standard deviation from the students score has decreased from 0.89 to 0.83 which means that the students’ post-test score is well distributed than the pre-test score. The calculation of t-test shows that the Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. It is because the to (t obtain) falls in the critical region and to (t obtain) is more than tt (t critical). The to (t obtain) is 5.3 while the tt (t critical) is 2.042. In conclusion, there is a significant difference between students’ writing recount text before and after being taught by using Instagram as a media.

It used Classroom Action Research (CAR) with quantitatively data then analyzed into qualitative. The qualitative data were about students’ interview, while the quantitative data was their scores in pre-test and post-test on listening comprehension. Short Story Gap Fill contained listening comprehension exercises which tend to prove the missing words or phrases on a script of a story or a dialog; they were “pre, while and post-listening which focused on students’ ability to carry out the gap on the listening exercises. This research consisted of two cycles. The findings involved, the third-semester students of the English Department were fascinated by Short Story Gap Fill and immersed in listening comprehension well. However, during the first cycle, there were still 3 from 31 incompletely fulfill the gap in listening comprehension because they could not catch the vocabulary well and less focus. Ultimately, on the second cycle, the students' accomplishment in listening comprehension through this technique improved dramatically on their score of using the same technique.

PENYUSUNAN UNDANG-UNDANG DI BIDANG INVESTASI: KAJIAN PEMBENTUKAN OMNIBUS LAW DI INDONESIA
Authors: Suriadinata Vincent 
Published: December 2019

Indonesia adalah negara dengan potensi ekonomi yang sangat besar namun masih minim investasi. Banyak faktor yang menghambat kemudahan berusaha sehingga mengurangi minat investor untuk berinvestasi di Indonesia. Indonesia perlu menerapkan omnibus law sebagai jawaban atas permasalahan-permasalahan yang menghambat investasi di Indonesia. Omnibus Law secara sederhana dapat dimaknai sebagai satu undang-undang yang bisa mengubah beberapa undang-undang sekaligus. Terdapat tiga keadaan untuk mempraktekkan omnibus law, yakni undang-undang yang akan diubah berkaitan secara langsung, undang-undang yang akan diubah tidak berkaitan secara langsung, dan undang-undang yang akan diubah tidak berkaitan tetapi dalam praktek bersinggungan. Penerapan omnibus law di Filipina, Amerika Serikat dan Turki dapat menjadi perbandingan untuk diterapkan omnibus law yang berbudaya hukum Indonesia. Omnibus law sejatinya adalah teknik dalam penyusunan undang-undang yang bertujuan untuk mewujudkan efisiensi dan efektivitas sehingga sangat mungkin diterapkan di Indonesia. Untuk mewujudkannya diperlukan pemahaman tentang omnibus law dan komitmen politik yang kuat dari DPR maupun Pemerintah Indonesia.

Objetivo: Relatar a experiência do Grupo Focal como técnica de coleta de dados na pesquisa em enfermagem. Relato da experiência: Foram realizados três encontros em salas reservadas, com duração de 90 minutos, entre maio e junho de 2016. Ao utilizar a técnica de grupo focal, os desafios foram: dificuldade em reunir os colaboradores, necessidade de conhecimento prévio da técnica por parte da moderadora, o que demandou maior tempo de preparo porém garantiu uma mediação mais coerente, e o desafio da limitação do número de participantes, que era por vezes o mínimo indicado para a utilização da referente técnica. Este número teve como causa fatores relacionados à natureza dos vínculos empregatícios e das atividades extenuantes realizadas pelos participantes. Percebeu-se a necessidade de maior exploração de saberes sobre esta técnica de coleta de dados, bem como estímulo dos profissionais em participar de metodologias ativas. Durante os encontros houve envolvimento proativo dos participantes e percepção por eles da importância destes momentos. Considerações finais: A utilização do Grupo Focal gerou aprendizados e experiências para manejo desta técnica, e apesar das dificuldades, mostrou-se como uma experiência exitosa. Entretanto, ressalta-se a escassez de estudos sobre o uso do Grupo Focal nas pesquisas em enfermagem.
Identifying and Tracking Defects in Dynamic Supramolecular Polymers

Published: December 2019

A central paradigm of self-assembly is to create ordered structures starting from molecularmonomers that spontaneously recognize and interact with each other via noncovalent interactions.In the recent years, great efforts have been directed toward reaching the perfection in thedesign of a variety of supramolecular polymers and materials with different architectures. Theresulting structures are often thought of as ideally perfect, defect-free supramolecular fibers,micelles, vesicles, etc., having an intrinsic dynamic character, which are typically studied at thelevel of statistical ensembles to assess their average properties. However, molecular simulationsrecently demonstrated that local defects that may be present or may form in these assemblies, and which are poorly captured by conventional approaches, are key to controlling their dynamicbehavior and properties. The study of these defects poses considerable challenges, as theflexible/dynamic nature of these soft systems makes it difficult to identify what effectively constitutesa defect, and to characterize its stability and evolution. Here, we demonstrate the powerof unsupervised machine learning techniques to systematically identify and compare defects insupramolecular polymer variants in different conditions, using as a benchmark 5°A-resolutioncoarse-grained molecular simulations of a family of supramolecular polymers. We shot that thisapproach allows a complete data-driven characterization of the internal structure and dynamicsof these complex assemblies and of the dynamic pathways for defects formation and resorption.This provides a useful, generally applicable approach to unambiguously identify defects inthese dynamic self-assembled materials and to classify them based on their structure, stabilityand dynamics.

Published: December 2019

Introduction: Modern education, becoming more active, flexible, electronic, directly related to practice, is in search of new forms and technologies of education. The use of educational events for the training and development of students is used today throughout the world. Educational events make it possible to effectively engage students in gaining practical experience, create unique conditions for communication and interaction, and form a space of responsibility and reflection. The study of domestic and foreign experience in the implementation of educational events in vocational training and their comparison is of high theoretical and practical importance for the development of the practice of the event-based approach in Russian education.Materials and methods: n the work methods of a theoretical nature are used, which allow one to study the state of research objects in scientific sources and existing practice, compare various points of view, reveal facts and dependencies, and further generalize the obtained data in the form of conclusions. The work used methods of systematization, analysis and synthesis, abstraction, generalization and comparison. The sources were scientific publications in periodical sources, methodological materials and instructions on the use of educational technologies developed at universities.Results:As a result of the study, we were able to formulate and clarify the essential characteristics of the educational event in domestic and foreign theory, as well as analyze the experience of implementing educational events in practice. In domestic sources, the main characteristics of educational events are involvement, going beyond everyday activities. reproduction of samples, emphasis on communication and interaction, emotional stress, obtaining a significant unique result, the responsibility of participants. Much attention has been removed to the design of educational events. In foreign sources, the educational event is used as an innovative educational technology, as an element of an ecological educational environment and smart education, as a stage of training based on a scenario. In foreign practice, the emphasis is on the reflective experience of participants.Discussion and Conclusions: the obtained results expand and enrich the semantic meanings of the educational event in pedagogical practice; The revealed features and characteristics of the implementation of the event-based approach in foreign education will allow us to expand our understanding of the possibilities of this educational technology and to take them into account when designing educational events.
