Enhanced production of falcarinol-type polyacetylenes in hairy roots of cultivated carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus)
Authors: Dunemann Frank , Böttcher Christoph 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Polyacetylenes (PAs) are a large group of bioactive phytochemicals, which are primarily produced by higher plants of the families Apiaceae and Araliaceae. Especially aliphatic C17-polyacetylenes of the falcarinol-type such as falcarinol (FaOH) and falcarindiol (FaDOH) are known for their numerous positive effects on human health. In this study we investigate the potential of carrot hairy root cultures for production of PAs. Three individual plants of seven differently coloured carrot cultivars were used for the development of hairy root cultures by transformation of root discs with the wild-type Rhizobium rhizogenes strain 15834. A total of 51 individual hairy root (HR) lines were obtained and quantitatively analysed together with root, petiole and leaf tissue samples for FaOH and FaDOH. Among the five tissues sampled from the donor plants, root periderm samples generally exhibited the highest PA levels with FaDOH as prevailing PA and large differences between cultivars. In comparison to periderm tissue, FaOH levels were highly increased in HR lines of all cultivars. In contrast, FaDOH levels were not significantly altered. Considering the low to moderate PA concentration in root and leaf tissues of the orange cultivars there was an up to more than 10-fold increase of the FaOH concentration in HRs of these genotypes. Within this study a reproducible method for Rrhi-mediated transformation of carrot root discs was applied which provides an efficient tool to assess the function of candidate genes involved in the biosynthesis of key PAs in carrot but might be used in future also for the large-scale production of falcarinol-type PAs.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Groundwater is an integral part of the water cycle and an essential resource for human use. This moving heritage must be protected and preserved sustainably through understanding of the physical and chemical functioning of aquifers, and by monitoring its quantity and quality. The ADES groundwater database, created for storing and making available groundwater data in France, is a freely accessible tool for water management and communication, with easy data availability and exchange. Data originate from different producers, which requires normalization and standardization of the system needs, to allow data integration and exchange. Shared data models were set up and the system is based on communal repositories of water points and hydrogeological entities. Nearly 102 million groundwater-quality data and over 17 million water-level data are currently available, covering almost 61,800 stations. ADES allows visualization of water level data in “real time" for about 1500 stations equipped with GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) technology; it provides, on a public website and via web services, public quantitative and qualitative data that can be searched with different criteria. Data can be visualised in graphical or tabular form, and downloaded with associated metadata.

Authors: Huda Nurul , Shaw Malissa Kay , Lin Yen-Kuang , Yu Wei-Zhen , Chang Hsiuju 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Background
We assumed that patients in a country with lower economic development will have more psychological distress and problems than an economically stronger country. Therefore, the aims of this study were to determine whether advanced cancer patients in Indonesia have more psychological distress and experience more problems contributing to distress than a similar group of patients in Taiwan. We also examined the determinants of psychological distress.
Methods
We conducted a secondary data analysis comparing the data from 286 Indonesian and 70 Taiwanese participants, focusing on distress score and the Problem List (PL) of the Distress Thermometer. Descriptive analysis, Chi-Square test, independent t-test, One-way Anova and multiple linear regression with enter method were applied to analyse the data.
Results
Overall, more Indonesian respondents experienced distress and had more problems across all PL domains than Taiwanese participants. Being an early adult, having problems with childcare, housing and transportation were associated with higher distress while a higher depression score and having stage 4 cancer demonstrated lower distress among Indonesians. For Taiwanese respondents, appearance, bathing/dressing and pain determined psychological distress.
Conclusions
Differences in the healthcare system, economic level, culture, gender and age influenced the problems experienced by patients. Finding from our comparative study provide important insight into understanding distress and PL among ACPs in economically advanced countries compared with economically weak countries. Future collaboration to deliver interventions considering cultural and healthcare system differences between two countries should be developed

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The combined effects of the abiotic factors such as temperature and synthetic progestins on the biochemical and physiological performances of marine clam Ruditapes decssatus under sub-chronic conditions are poorly studied. Here, we investigated the effects of levonorgestrel (1000 ng/l) alone or combined with increasing temperature of 20, 24 and 28°C on the biochemical and physiological responses and the gonad histology of the clam (Ruditapes decussatus) for 28 days. Our results revealed that, in clams treated with levonorgestrel (LNG) alone, there was an impairment of the defense against oxidative stress related to the inductions of CAT, GST and PSH, a reduction in the lysosomal membrane stability, a physiological disturbance via an increase in the level of estradiol, a decrease in the number of gonad oocytes and a reduction in vitellogenin like protein. Furthermore, exposure to heat stress of 20°C, 24°C and 28°C, alone or in combination with LNG, enhanced SOD antioxidant activity which was ineffective in preventing lipoperoxidation and altered clam’s physiological processes of reproduction via dramatic reduction of gonad oocyte numbers and of vitellogenin like protein reserves. Overall, these findings can be taken as a warning sign of temperature and levonorgestrel progestin effect that can lead to effective changes in the structure and function of target vital organs, such as the gonads of the clam Ruditapes decussatus, and this may have implications for the whole organism and populations.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a couple-coping intervention aiming to improve uncertainty tolerance in women diagnosed with breast cancer and their spouses on the patients’ mental adaption to their disease. Methods: The present study was conducted on 90 women with breast cancer referred to educational, medical and research centers in Urmia, IRAN, which 45 patients were randomly assigned to each treatment and control groups. Outcome measures were assessed at baseline and 6 weeks using short form mental adjustment to cancer (Mini-MAC) questionnaire. The intervention was performed in 6 group-based sessions consisting of patients and their spouses. Results: comparing the change from before to after intervention revealed that the effect of the intervention was significant in reducing hopeless-helpless (-5.42 ± 2.42 in intervention group VS -0.13 ± 0.46 in control group, P<0.001) and anxious preoccupation (-6.80 ± 2.87 VS -0.16 ± 0.82, P<0.001). It has also been significant in increasing fatalism (4.89 ± 2.09 VS 0.22 ± 1.24) and fighting spirit (3.58 ± 2.05 VS 0.11 ± 1.61). The effect of intervention on changing avoidance scale was not significant (P = 0.83).Conclusion: Couple-centered intervention program based on increasing uncertainty tolerance can be used to improve the situation in order to increase the patients' adjustment and it has an effective support for breast cancer patients in helping to cope with cancer.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
In residential and industrial premises, optimum conditions for human activity must be created. In areas without central heating supply, heating of a mobile living space is provided by solid fuel boilers. There may be fuel outages at a distance from an inhabited locality. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to create a heating system for a farmer’s house by using carbon-based fuel flexible materials and solar stations. Farmhouse heating system that heats mobile living quarters remote from power lines and communities through the use of carbon-based fuel flexible materials and solar stations is proposed by the authors. The technical result consists in that, in the claimed system, the heating device is a carbon-based fuel flexible material supplying electricity from the solar station. Carbon-based fuel flexible material is a thermal film (heating grid), which is made by interweaving longitudinal and transverse carbon filaments and, for safety reasons, covered with an electrical insulating material.

Abstract
The irrigation water price is an indispensable element for the modernization of agriculture and the realization of rural revitalization. As a pilot initiative for agricultural water price reform, Hebei Province has explored various effective patterns. This study analyzed 714 first-hand data points obtained from agricultural irrigation areas in Hebei Province. The ‘two lines and three grades’ water price policy is difficult to implement in practice. The ‘overuse-charge’ includes two levels of water use is standards, the water price and reward standards in each level are inconsistent, especially, actual irrigation water use is far more than Individual Allowable Water Volume (IAWV). Similarly, there is a negative relationship between irrigation water use and water fees at the critical point of IAWV, that is, the more water used, the less water fees are paid. The ‘one line and two grades’ water price policy is proposed. The water volume less than the irrigation quota should be purchased by the government or rewarded farmers; on the contrary, the water price should be increased. It is suggested to improve the installation of irrigation metering facilities, popularization of field water-saving technology and quota management in the groundwater water irrigation region.

Authors: Mayyadah Mayyadah 
Published: November 2021

Kompleksnya permasalahan dan realitas perempuan di era modern menuntut para ulama untuk menetapkan solusi hukum yang aktual dan realistis. Tulisan ini berangkat dari kenyataan bahwa produk fikih perempuan juga dipengaruhi oleh karakteristik manhaj dan metode ulama dalam menetapkan hukumnya. Melalui kajian studi literatur (riset kepustakaan) dan pendekatan Fikih-Usul Fikih, tulisan ini menemukan bahwa ada tiga karakter metodologi atau manhaj ulama dalam fikih perempuan yaitu al-tasyaddud atau al-iftirati al-tafrit wa al-tahallul, serta al-wast wa al-i'tidal. Adapun dalam menetapkan hukum fikih perempuan kontemporer, para ulama menempuh metode melalui analisis komprehensif terhadap nas-nas hukum, atensi terhadap maqasid al-syari'ah, pertimbangan realitas sosial, dan pertimbangan terhadap perbedaan psikologis dan sosial perempuan. Di Indonesia, realitas aktivitas perempuan telah merambah ke dunia politik praktis sehingga menghasilkan respon pemikiran fikih yang beragam. Di sini terlihat bahwa problematika fikih perempuan kontemporer tidak sepi dari perbedaan pendapat ulama.
Development and Validation of Student’s MOOC-efficacy Scale: Exploratory Factor Analysis

Published: November 2021

Abstract: Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), the fast developing teaching and learning platforms of global interest, are the product of higher education's expanded usage of e-learning. MOOCs have been heralded as the potential educational breakthrough for the 21st century. A positive attitude toward self-efficacy is essential for successful MOOC implementation. However, only a few studies have been conducted to ascertain a student's MOOC efficacy level, and a very limited scale for assessing a student's MOOC efficacy has been identified in the context of Malaysia. This study aims to develop and validate a student’s MOOC-efficacy scale for higher institutions. In this study, students’ MOOC-efficacy was conceived in four ways (i.e. information searching, making queries, MOOC learning, and MOOC usability). A descriptive research design with a scale was employed to collect information from 289 students enrolled in higher institutions. The Educational and Psychological Testing Standards were adapted to develop a scale to gauge students’ MOOC-efficacy. The scale's appropriate items, as well as its validity and reliability, were determined using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). Significant levels of validity and reliability for the developed scale were found. The scale comprised four dimensions, i.e., information searching (three items), making queries (seven items), MOOC learning (six items) and MOOC usability (seven items), amounting to a total of 23 items. This scale was then used to determine the efficacy of higher institution students in using MOOCs. The eigenvalues of the four MOOC efficacy dimensions were within the range of 1.39 to 8.49. The factor structures explained 63.9% of the total variance. The scores of reliability varied in the range of 0.822 to 0.890. This work produced a psychometrically sound scale to measure students’ MOOC efficacy. Students, educators, administrators, and other individuals may benefit from the application of the verified MOOC efficacy scale. The information generated from the scale can be utilized to determine the training needs of students, educators and MOOC developers.

Published: November 2021

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has altered nearly every aspect of life, including education. Technology has replaced face-to-face teaching and learning nearly totally. This health disaster has accelerated digitization in the world of education, which was previously only available without a repulsive factor. Cloud computing technology has been widely used in education, including higher education, enabling teaching resources, educational information, notes, lectures, and academic assessments to be accessed and shared online. Yet, in celebrating the greatness of technology, are users ready to accept an explosion of information resources and access openly online through cloud-based services? Thus, this research will investigate the Higher Education Institution (HEI) users' readiness and acceptance of cloud computing. The research employs the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Technology Readiness Index (TRI) model together with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate 470 individuals from HEIs in Malaysia. Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness are found to be positively significant in explaining why a user decides to use cloud computing. Optimism and innovativeness have found to affect the factors of technology acceptance significantly. In contrast, discomfort and insecurity do not affect technology acceptance factors, except for insecurity that negatively impacts Perceived Usefulness. This study contributes to another finding to studying technology readiness and acceptance, especially in higher education.

Published: November 2021

Abstract: Academicians are commonly associated with academic tasks of teaching and research. However, recent scenario reveals that academicians’ workloads are not restricted to merely academic tasks. Academicians also hold administrative positions, involved with students’ development activities, community services and professional development. Shouldering with numerous responsibilities, academicians may be stressful to prioritize the assigned tasks and meeting deadlines. This necessitates serious attention to ensure that academicians can focus on the assigned responsibilities and perform their best. Thus, this study attempts to establish a relationship between academic and non-academic responsibilities with job-related stress among academicians. Through survey method, 120 usable responses received out of 391 questionnaires distributed to academicians in a public university. Using SPSS, a preliminary analysis indicates that the respondents were moderately stressful with their job. However, multiple regressions test demonstrates that job-related stress is not influenced by academic responsibilities but marginally contributed by non-academic responsibilities. The findings give insights to the university management on academicians’ reaction to their present job tasks and useful as guidance in any efforts or policy towards academicians’ workload setting. However, this study is confined to only one public university in the East coast region of Malaysia. Thus, future research may be expanded to the public universities in the West region of Malaysia with different working environment and lifestyle.

Published: November 2021

Abstract: The study aimed to examine school drug education and agile leadership and lawlessness factors in children involving adults. This report led to a study on child narcotics crimes. 17 district court decisions from 2017-2020 are the unit of analysis, using the Question Nvivo-12 plus software process. The aim of using Nvivo-12 plus is to analyze data with a data coding model. In addition, the writers also interviewed main witnesses, including judges who prosecuted child narcotics cases. . The data analysis procedure includes a validity test using triangulation of sources, time, and place. Grouping of data in the form of images and tables that have been processed for analysis with three data analysis techniques through percentages, making explanations, and comparing with theories or previous research results. According to the findings of the study, drugs education for youngsters involved in narcotics cases is critical. Furthermore, economic constraints, unsatisfactory home conditions, invites from acquaintances, and the influence of social media are all variables that lead to children committing narcotics offenses. In addition to these factors, the authors also found something new that makes children entangled in narcotics crimes, namely the involvement of adults who use children in the narcotics trade. For these factors, agile leadership is need, especially adult leaders with sensitivity, leadership unity, and quality of optimizing resources to protect children from the effects of drug abuse and the need to build particular educational institutions for children involved in crime. So children are given adequate education and skills, so they are not entangled again in drug cases..
