Published: August 2023

Adolescence is the make-or-break stage of life. Major physical, mental, and psychological growth takes place at this age. Adequate and balanced nutrition is a vital requirement to support this phase. Adolescents living in developing and low-income countries are more likely to face nutritional challenges. Poor nutritional status during adolescence is an important determinant of health outcomes. Objective: To analyze the nutritional status (BMI based) of school-going adolescents in Gojra city, Punjab, Pakistan. Methods: A school-based cross-sectional survey was carried out covering 635 (6-8 grade) school-going adolescents (boys and girls) from public schools in Gojra city. Data were collected through anthropometric measures taken. Symptoms of malnutrition were also assessed. Mean and frequencies were reported for demographic variables and symptoms of malnutrition while two sample Independent T-test was used to compare the means of groups under study using SPSS version-23. Results: The overall prevalence of underweight in boys was found (33.9%) as compared to adolescent girls (32.3%). It was also found that malnutrition and related health complications were higher in adolescents with lower BMI values. Conclusions: Adolescent boys and girls were found with a high prevalence of malnutrition along with other symptoms.

Published: August 2023

Cesium is the heaviest stable alkali metal (with only one stable isotope – 133Cs) and it occurs mainly as a potassium-substituting cation. It is an important trace element in rocks typical for the Earth crust, and its content in biomass is also relatively high compared to those abiogenic elements which are little soluble. Low-cost analytical methods like X-Ray Fluorescence are inadequate to quantify cesium in typical natural samples, so that the usage of ICP-MS (Inductively-Coupled-Plasma Mass Spectrometry) or INAA (Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis) is necessary. Nevertheless, investigation of the pollution with the radioactive isotope 137Cs, which is an important fission product and can be measured with gamma-ray spectrometry, also contributed to the knowledge of biogeochemistry of cesium. It has been shown that Cs is usually strongly retained in humus (thank to clay minerals), or is cycling intensely within the soil-biomass system, being only slowly removed (at least, this is valid for ecosystems in temperate climate). The results of extensive biomonitoring in Czech coniferous forests (with prevailing spruce) also show that Cs is concentrated in humus (relatively to all other alkali elements) by natural processes.

Authors: Sharif Muhammad Shakeeb , Sufian Muhammad 
Published: August 2023

Bacillus megaterium is a gram positive rod shaped bacterium that is greatly responsible for the formation of spores aerobically and found throughout the world. The size of respective bacterium genome is 5.48 Mb and contains about 5,858 exons. It has two strains named as QMB1551 and DSM319 having GC amount 38%. Regardless, a large number of the genes do not have any anticipated function, being depicted as hypothetical proteins. It is one of the most significant industrial bacterium that is employed for the generation of various useful products. It has played a promising role in the field of biotechnology as a production of genetically engineered proteins. Bioinformatics is one of the most advanced field that employed various productive tools in order to analyze the sequence, structure and function of proteins. In order to predict the function of a hypothetical protein of B. megaterium DSM319, BLAST was utilized for sequence comparison of hypothetical proteins of the bacterium dataset against the subject sequence of dataset of biotechnological important proteins. The best hit obtained from BLASTp results for sequence similarity was ABC-2 family transporter proteins having known functions. With that about 80% of similarity a daunorubicin ABC transporter permease (Anaerobacillus alkaliacustris) having query cover 100% and e-value 1 e-153 is obtained. The permease enzyme facilitates the ABC transporter to carry out export of daunorubicin that is produced by Bacillus spp. as a secondary metabolite. From the current study, it is predicted that B. megaterium having a protein known as daunorubicin ABC transporter permease. Moreover, this bacterium might be able to produce daunorubicin as a secondary metabolite. Daunorubicin has a great significance in medical sciences especially in anticancer therapy.

Authors: GENÇ Murat , ÖZBİLEN Ömer 
Published: August 2023

Penalized linear regression methods are used for the accurate prediction of new observations and to obtain interpretable models. The performance of these methods depends on the properties of the true coefficient vector. The LASSO method is a penalized regression method that can simultaneously perform coefficient shrinkage and variable selection in a continuous process. Depending on the structure of the dataset, different estimators have been proposed to overcome the problems faced by LASSO. The estimation method used in the second stage of the post-LASSO two-stage regression method proposed as an alternative to LASSO has a considerable effect on model performance.
In this study, the performance of the post-LASSO is compared with classical penalized regression methods ridge, LASSO, elastic net, adaptive LASSO and Post-LASSO by using different estimation methods in the second stage of the post-LASSO. In addition, the effect of the magnitude and position of the signal values in the real coefficient vector on the performance of the models obtained by these methods is analyzed. The mean squared error and standard deviation of the predictions calculated on the test set are used to compare the prediction performance of the models, while the active set sizes are used to compare their performance in variable selection. According to the findings obtained from the simulation studies, the choice of the second-stage estimator and the structure of the true coefficient vector significantly affect the success of the post-LASSO method compared to other methods.

Authors: Camilo Thais Alexandra , Pietro-Souza William 
Published: August 2023

O feijão comum (Phaseolus vulgaris) é uma das leguminosas mais produzidas e consumidas no Brasil, entretanto, a cultivar é sensível às condições abióticas e bióticas. A mancha da alternaria e a podridão cinzenta do caule, causadas pelos fitopatógenos Alternaria alternata e Macrophomina phaseolina, respectivamente, são duas doenças de importância econômica, dado as perdas significativas na qualidade e produção dos grãos e o difícil controle dos fitopatógenos, realizado principalmente por meio da aplicação de fungicidas, que quando aplicado em excesso, pode contaminar o ambiente. Nesse sentido, é preciso buscar formas mais eficientes de proteção das culturas e que não comprometa os sistemas biológicos. O controle biológico de fitopatógenos surge como uma alternativa sustentável. Desse modo, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a eficácia de bactérias como agente de controle biológico in vitro da Alternaria alternata e Macrophomina phaseolina. Ao todo foram selecionadas aleatoriamente 16 linhagens de bactérias do banco de microrganismos do IFMT – Campus Avançado de Lucas Do Rio Verde. O teste de antibiose foi realizado para analisar a atividade antagônica das linhagens bacterianas contra os fitopatógenos. Linhagens com inibição superior a 40% foram selecionadas para avaliar a capacidade de produção de compostos voláteis, enzimas hidrolíticas, ácido indolacético (AIA), sideróforos e solubilização de fosfato. Ao todo 11 linhagens apresentaram potencial de inibição superior a 40%. Dessas linhagens, RIZO-D e BRPJ destacaram-se tanto nos testes de antagonismo, quanto na produção de traços de promoção de crescimento de plantas (AIA, sideróforos e solubilização de fosfato). Essas linhagens têm potencial para a utilização como bioinsumos, no entanto, testes in vivo serão necessários para a comprovação das atividades de biocontrole e de promoção de crescimento de plantas.

Published: August 2023

Purpose: This study analyzed the effect of financial ratios, corporate governance, and macroeconomic variables on financial distress. This research was conducted during the covid-19 pandemic when many companies experienced difficulties due to activity restrictions during the pandemic.

Theoretical framework: Prolonged financial difficulty can lead to the company's insolvency. As a result, understanding the company's health status is critical. Internal company factors, such as the firm's financial situation and company management, as reflected in corporate governance, and external company factors, such as macroeconomic conditions, can all influence the occurrence of financial hardship in the company.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This study uses a sample of property and real estate sector companies listed on the Indonesia stock exchange. The model used was 270 observations. This research is a quantitative approach using a logistic regression test. The unit of analysis in this study is property, real estate, and building construction sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, where each company is undoubtedly influenced by internal company factors, namely financial ratios and corporate governance, and external factors, namely macroeconomics.

Findings: The results showed that the relevant financial ratios are sales total assets and retained earnings to total assets. At the same time, the corporate governance included in the model is director size and macroeconomic variables in the form of inflation entering the financial distress model. The accuracy of the model in classifying its observations is 84.1%.

Research, practical & social implications: The implication of this study's results is that financial ratios, governance, and macroeconomic indicators can be used as a benchmark to detect the possibility of financial distress.

Originality/Value: This research was conducted in the real estate industry during the Covid-19 pandemic when many companies experienced financial difficulties. This research combines financial ratios, corporate governance, and macroeconomics that impact the possibility of financial distress. This research is different because it combines financial ratios that reflect company performance, governance practices, and macroeconomic indicators to predict bankruptcy.

Published: August 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the difficulties encountered by FPO member farmers and to propose solutions that mitigate their problems and enhance the operation of FPOs.

Theoretical framework: The scale of operational processes is influenced by the resources and capabilities of organizations that promote FPOs. A lack of business configuration and understanding of agricultural supply chains is a significant barrier to FPOs functioning as business entities (Gowda et al., 2018).

Design/Methodology/Approach: Out of 23 FPOs, 16 were selected purposively, of which 280 members were chosen randomly in this study. Well-designed questionnaires and Focus Group Discussions with FPO member farmers and executives were used to collect data. Using the Garret Ranking method, the data was analyzed and inferences were drawn.

Findings: The major technological and operational constraints experienced by FPO members is a lack of computer skills with a mean score of 72.3. In addition, unavailability of labour during harvesting was the biggest challenge linked with labour and economic restrictions with a mean score of (56.61). Moreover, delayed payment is the major marketing constraints of the members with the mean score of 62.9.

Research, practical & social implications: The study would be beneficial for decision-makers, planners, and civil society organisations that focus on organising farmers into groups and developing effective strategies for starting up future development plans.

Originality/Value: This article brings value to areas of research such as the functioning of FPOs in Mizoram and gives insight to comprehend many challenges they face for their optimal functioning.

Authors: Challa Jahnavi , Perwez Syed Khalid 
Published: August 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study to examine the relationship between different leadership styles (transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire) and the psychological wellbeing of women entrepreneurs, considering the potential moderating effects of demographic factors.

Theoretical framework: The study is grounded in the Full Range Leadership Theory and the theory of psychological wellbeing, with the aim of understanding how different leadership styles may impact the psychological wellbeing of women entrepreneurs.

Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectional survey design was employed, utilizing a purposive sample of 328 women entrepreneurs in India. Data were collected using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Multiple regression and moderation analyses were conducted to investigate the relationships between leadership styles, psychological wellbeing, and demographic factors.

Results: The results indicated that transformational leadership was positively and significantly associated with psychological wellbeing (p < .001), while transactional and laissez-faire leadership styles were negatively and significantly associated with psychological wellbeing (p = .021 and p < .001, respectively). The overall regression model explained 25% of the variance in psychological wellbeing (F(3, 324) = 35.69, p < .001). No significant moderating effects of demographic factors (age, education level, years of experience, and business size) on the relationship between transformational leadership and psychological wellbeing were found (all p > .05).

Conclusion: The findings suggest that transformational leadership is beneficial for the psychological wellbeing of women entrepreneurs, whereas transactional and laissez-faire leadership styles may have detrimental effects. The relationship between leadership styles and psychological wellbeing is consistent across different demographic factors, indicating the generalizability of the results.

Research, Practical & Social implications: This study has several managerial implications, emphasizing the importance of transformational leadership in promoting psychological wellbeing among women entrepreneurs. Managers and organizations should invest in leadership development, create a supportive organizational culture, and prioritize employee wellbeing, performance management, talent retention, and diversity and inclusion initiatives to foster a conducive environment for women entrepreneurs to thrive.

Originality/value: This study addresses a gap in the literature by examining the influence of leadership styles on the psychological wellbeing of women entrepreneurs and exploring potential moderating factors, providing novel insights into the factors that contribute to their success and wellbeing.
