Alternaria alternata – the main causal agent of disease symptoms in juniper, rose, yew and highbush blueberry in nurseries in southern Poland
Authors: Nadziakiewicz Małgorzata , Kurzawińska Halina , Mazur Stanisław , Tekielska Dorota 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Symptoms of discoloration and necrosis of the leaves/needles and shoots of plants are an increasingly common phenomenon in nurseries. They necessitate the withdrawal of the affected plants from sale, which has significant economic consequences. In 2010-2011, observations were conducted of the health of shrubs in nurseries of the Małopolska province. Disease symptoms were mostly found in juniper (Juniperus horizontalis ‘Wiltonii’), rose (ground-cover rose ‘Star Profusion’), yew (Taxus × media ‘Hillii’) and highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Patriot’). These species were selected for further study. The affected shrubs represented more than 46% of the population of a given species. Fragments of the diseased organs: the leaves or needles, the base of the shoots, and the roots, were collected from the borderline between healthy and diseased tissue, and used to isolate and identify the microorganisms colonizing the diseased parts. The affected organs were found to be inhabited to the largest extent by the fungus Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissl., which accounted for 19.7 to 47.5% of the isolates from the tested species of shrubs. There were also large populations of fungi of the genera: Botrytis (up to 9.82%), Cladosporium (up to 5.66%), Colletotrichum (up to 5.13%), Fusarium (up to 18.38%), Mortierella (up to 7.26%), Pestalotia (up to 5.36%), Rhizoctonia (up to 5.36%), Sclerotinia (up to 6.99%), and Trichoderma (up to 17.09%). The fungus A. alternata, being by far the dominant pathogen, was tested for its pathogenicity for the shoots of the chosen species of shrubs. The test was conducted for 14 days in a chamber with parameters so programmed that they reflected the natural conditions at the height of the growing season. The fungus A. alternata exhibited pathogenicity for all of the tested species of shrubs. Necrosis developed on all the inoculated fragments of shoots. The surface area of necrotic lesions was larger on the shoots of juniper and blueberry.
Mediating role of meaningful work between resources and work engagement in Bangladesh’s private banks

Published: March 2018

Abstract
Engaged employees are considered as the most desired assets for the organization. Although significant contributions have been observed in the engagement literature, a holistic approach is yet to be untouched in terms of developing relationship between various resources, work engagement and psychological mechanism such as meaningful work. The purpose of this study is to explore the mediating role of meaningful work between resources and work engagement in private banks in Bangladesh. This study followed the quantitative methodological approach and based on Bakker and Demerouti’s (2007) Job demand-resources model. A survey questionnaire was prepared and used to collect data. 440 respondents participated in this study, who is currently working in private banks in Bangladesh. Multiple regression analysis along with Sobel test was performed to analyze the data. The findings confirmed that the relationships between organizational, job, personal resources and work engagement were partially mediated through meaningful work. It has been observed that all determinates had a significant influence on work engagement. For practical implications, the organization can align various resources to uplift the engagement level of the employees. Since meaningful work was found to be a significant predictor, managers can develop jobs where employees can relate their purpose to their work. This study recommends that future research can apply this model to different contexts as well as to different groups of respondents.

Abstract
Intertwined with other structural changes, are policies to increase the number of international students to diversify tourism activities into what is known as educational tourism (edutourism). Of immediate relevance to this article is the implementation of policies and strategies to attract students from all over the world. Unfortunately, these policies are partially implemented opting out important factors, as such this article attempt to conceptualize the motivational factors associated with edu-tourism. Data garnered from foreign students in North Cyprus suggest that cost, quality, environmental, regulatory, cultural, political, safety and social factors are key factors for edu-tourism. The outcome in this study will help policy makers determine the factors that influence the choice of tertiary institutions in North Cyprus associated with a particular geodemographic setup. This will also enable policy makers to create a tailor made persuasive strategies, policies, adverts and messages to increase their market share.

Abstract

Background. It is now suggested an association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the occurrence of coronary artery disease even in non-diabetic patients. We will determine the rate of NAFLD and its main determinants in non-diabetic patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Methods. This cross-sectional study was accomplished on 264 patients who were candidates for coronary angiography during the year 2016. Coronary angiography has been done to depict the presence or absence of coronary involvement, and the severity of coronary artery disease by determining the number of vessels involved and also the SYNTAX score. During 48 hours after coronary angiography, the patients underwent abdominal ultrasonography for detection of NAFLD.

Results. The overall prevalence of NAFLD in the patients was 72.3%. The prevalence of NAFLD in those with and without coronary involvement was 71.9% and 73.1% respectively, with no notable difference (p = 0.837). The mean SYNTAX score in the patients with and without NAFLD was 22.32 ± 11.10 and 21.75 ± 10.71 respectively with no difference (p = 0.702). According to the multivariable regression models, the presence of NAFLD could not predict the likelihood of coronary artery disease (OR = 0.879, p = 0.669) or its severity assessed by the SYNTAX score (beta = 0.046, p = 0.456). NAFLD grade was also not a determinant for coronary artery disease (OR = 1.139, p = 0.178) or its severity (beta = 0.058, p = 0.165).

Conclusion. It seems that the presence and grade of NAFLD may not be correlated with atherosclerotic involvement of coronary arteries and its severity in non-diabetic patients. Future large studies and trials could elucidate the independent role of fatty liver in nondiabetic non-alcoholic patients.
Korupsi dalam Birokrasi dan Strategi Pencegahannya
Authors: Fatkhuri Fatkhuri 
Published: March 2018

Korupsi dalam pelayanan publik telah menjadi masalah cukup serius di Indonesia. Korupsi dalam konteks pelayanan publik disebabkan oleh dua faktor utama, yaitu eksternal dan internal. Faktor eksternal karena adanya keinginan masyarkat untuk mendapatkan pelayanan secara cepat dalam berbagai urusan seperti pengurusan perijinan dan sejenisnya. Rentang kerja birokrasi yang panjang dan berbelit-belit (red-tape) menyebabkan masyarakat tidak sabar dan menginginkan proses yang cepat dan efisien. Sedangkan faktor internal lebihmenitikberatkan pada adanya fenomena rentang birokrasi yang panjang dengan sengaja dimanfaatkan oleh oknum-oknum di birokrasi untuk memperoleh keuntungan secara ilegal. Strategi dalam upaya mencegah dan memberantas korupsi adalah dengan dua hal: pertama penguatan kelembagaan internal birokrasi. Penguatan kelembagaan internal birokrasi dalam rangka mewujudkan birokrasi yang profesional. Birokrasi profesional harus dijalankandengan menerapkan aturan-aturan yang ketat dan pelaksanaanya dikontrol oleh atasan secaraketat, dan tenaga pelayanan birokrasi harus ditopang oleh orang-orang yang memilikikompetensi memadai. Kedua penguatan kapasitas sumber daya manusia yang mendorongbirokrasi diisi oleh orang-orang yang profesional. Sumber daya manusia yang profesionaladalah pegawai yang bekerja dengan pengetahuan dan kompetensi yang memadai danmemiliki integritas yang unggul. Penguatan kapasitas sumber daya manusia dilakukanmelalui profesional development program dan character building program.
Who Makes the Call --- and How?

Recently we proposed that mission statements incorporating the concept of reducing uncertainty could provide a framework for learning the bread and depth of information that exists about health and safety. We briefly explained the definition of uncertainty in the context of health and safety, with the unifying principle being that everything you learn about safety is about exerting greater control. Acquiring more knowledge about an experiment, using equipment appropriately, designing experiments well, executing procedures well, and obtaining appropriate training are all mechanisms for increasing control.Both researchers and their institutions can be the actors exerting control. But who should make the risk-based decisions related to the design of an experiment? Insecurity about the consequences of our own decisions frequently makes us want to have someone else decide a matter about safety, especially when that matter involves a gray area. Here we explain why researchers should be the main decision-makers about the safety of their experiments, with the researchers striving to thoroughly and creatively reduce the uncertainty of the well-being of themselves, their colleagues, and the environment. Even more, after comprehending the unifying principle outlined above for learning information about safety, researchers should make their primary goal in safety to be conceiving mechanisms for exerting greater control over their experiments that go beyond the mechanisms that health and safety practitioners teach. The essay ends by discussing how decision-making by researchers can improve the culture of safety.
