Abstract
Insecticides applications are one of the components to control brown planthoppers pest that are applied in large scale by farmers. In the field, some farmers mix different active ingredients of insecticides to control brown planthoppers. This study was aimed to find out the efficacy of mixed insecticides to brown plant hoppers and the effect on natural enemies in the field. The research was carried out in Pemalang Regency, Central Java, in 2016/2017 rice planting season. There were eleven treatments with three replications in 5x8 m2 plots using randomized completed block design. Two successive sprays of selected insecticides were applied with sprayer at 14 days interval. Insecticides Pymetrozine 480 + Imidacloprid 160 (150+50), Pymetrozine 480 + Imidacloprid 160 (75+25), Pymetrozine 185 + Buprofezin 240 (150+194,59), Pymetrozine 185 + Buprofezin 240 (75+97,3), and Buprofezin 240 + Fipronil 40 (100+16,67) effectively controlled the population of brown planthopper with the efficacy as follows 96.78%; 94.27%; 96.45%; 96.71%; and 94.01%. Insecticides mixtures tested did not affect the population of natural enemies such as spiders, Paederus, and C. lividipennis.

Abstract
The development of agricultural areas is carried out in to realize agricultural development for the prosperity of the community, especially farmers. The decreasing control over agricultural land owned by farmers makes it difficult to obtain business efficiency. The effectiveness of farming is also increasingly difficult to achieve with the consequence that the quality of agricultural products is not guaranteed. Various studies have shown that the development of agricultural areas has been carried out but in reality, the success of developing agricultural areas has not met expectations. Success at the farm level is also a question of current conditions, so proper planning is needed in the context of developing agricultural areas. However, the results of a literature study show that the development of agricultural areas is carried out based on regional development plans that have been prepared by a special team who are considered experts in making regional development plans. Meanwhile, on the one hand, farmers, as land owners are questioned about their position and role in the process of developing agricultural areas. This study tries to conduct a literature review on the development of agricultural areas that have been carried out and are developing well using the Systematic Literature Review [SLR] method. The results of the study indicate that the development of agricultural areas requires planning that is compiled and designed together through a process of community empowerment who will receive benefits from agricultural area development activities.

Abstract
Coffee is the leading commodity of Indonesian plantations. One of the efforts to increase coffee production and quality requires farmers to implement innovations according to Good Agriculture Practices (GAP). This study aims to see the effect of the characteristics of innovation on the application of GAP by farmers. This research is a survey research with 100 Arabica coffee farmers as respondents. This research was conducted in the Districts of Lembah Gumanti and Pantai Cermin. The variables used are innovation characteristics: relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability. Data were analyzed quantitatively using multiple regression. The results show that the characteristics of innovation (relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability) in the application of Good Agriculture Practice Arabica coffee farmers in Solok Regency are in the moderate category where farmers carry out cultivation activities but are still not by the GAP concept. Multiple regression results show that simultaneously all variables affect the application of GAP. However, only the relative advantage, compatibility, and trialability variables affect the GAP implementation partially.
Effect of sugar addition on the enrichment of oligosaccharides in soybean sprouts

Published: May 2023

Abstract
The soybean contains a high amount of oligosaccharides that will be degraded during germination, however, oligosaccharides are one of the phytochemicals that need by the human body. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sugar addiction (glucose, sucrose and galactose) to enhance the oligosaccharides content in soybean sprouts. It can be assumed that sugar addition could replace the glucose for respiration process of soybean sprouts thus the oligosaccharides degradation for glucose provision was not required. The soybean seeds prior to germination were soaked into sucrose 3%, sucrose 6%, glucose 3 % and fructose 3%. The oligosaccharides in soybean were analyzed by using the high-performance liquid chromatography with the charged aerosol detector. Although the degradation of oligosaccharides produced glucose used for the respiration of germinated soybean sprouts, the addition of sugar in replacing the glucose produced by oligosaccharides was not effective. The oligosaccharides still degraded during the germination process. The higher of glucose concentration, the number of oligosaccharides would be reduced. In the conclusion, the replacement of glucose that is used for the respiration of germinating soybean sprouts could not be conducted by the external addition of sugar. Another approach needs to be considered further.

Abstract
Water spinach (Ipomoea reptans) is Indonesia’s widely used vegetable type. This vegetable has a good taste and contains nutrients that benefit the body. Water spinach is generally grown traditionally, but some are produced with a hydroponic system. This research aims to validate the MPM method and determine the antioxidant content in two growth systems of water spinach samples. The validation parameters are linearity, LoD, LoQ, RSD, and % recovery. The research results show that the MPM method is valid to use. Statistically, the antioxidant content in the two types of water spinach was significantly different, where the antioxidant content in traditionally grown was higher than others.
Real time facility management: assessing the effectiveness of Digital Twin in the Operation and Maintenance phase of building life cycle
Authors: Pomè A P , Signorini M 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The current scenario of the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) industry outlines an accelerating approach to digitalisation which is defined PropTech (abbreviation for Property Technologies). Among all the digital innovation brought to AECO, PropTech companies are introducing digital technologies in the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) phase of the building lifecycle to improve operational efficiency, performance of an asset, and effectiveness of provided services and supplies. Analysing the literature scenario of O&M phase, Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Digital Twin (DT) have resulted in a methodological innovation for the entire industry. Thanks to Internet of Things (IoT), the advent of DT makes its way into the building sector allowing among all to monitor the as-is conditions, detect anomalies before they occur, make diagnosis, and give an added value with respect to the BIM. Although DT is in its early stages, in the real estate market, some PropTech companies have embraced the challenge and applied the digital technology for building management. Therefore, the paper aims to analyse the numerous advantages of DT in the management of buildings. For this objective, the authors referred to two case studies, taken from the Italian PropTech Network ecosystem, that implement DT in management of O&M phase. On one hand the authors present the benefits of facility management digitalisation introduced by DT; on the other, they underline the issues faced by the two companies and the future implementations of DT in the O&M field.
Digitally Transforming Facility Management in Healthcare: A Systematic Review of Key Digital Technologies and Systems
Authors: Schmitter P , Ashworth S 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic led to an acceleration of digitalisation in healthcare institutions, not only in the medical field but also within non-medical, which includes facility management (FM). FM organisations are increasingly confronted with the need to digitally transform their operations and to implement new digital technologies. This paper aims at providing scholars and professionals with an overview of the various digital technologies and systems that are relevant in shaping the digital transformation. An integrative literature review has been chosen, as it provides a systematic approach to map, collate and report on key findings and concepts from the literature for researchers and practitioners. Overall, 33 articles were systematically reviewed. 22 different digital technologies and systems were identified in the literature and were added to so-called technology clusters. From all the described technologies, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is most prominently cited. Furthermore, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), Digital Twins (DT), and Blockchain technologies are commonly found. Additional technologies and systems mentioned in the literature, though not further detailed, were also added within a separate cluster. This study also discusses the implications for the digital transformation which is important when introducing novel digital technologies in healthcare organisations. It is argued that FM in healthcare needs to focus on integrating technologies, both at a technological level, and particularly at an organisational and interorganisational level.
The applicability and challenges of implementing Facilities management standards in South Africa
Authors: Molloy S , Adewunmi Y , Nelson M 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
FM is a multi-sector environment where organisations vary in terms of scope, structure and services. The publication of management system standards in the FM environment has created significant challenges in implementation. Few of the World’s top 10 listed FM companies have achieved ISO 41001 certification. This opinion paper discussed the applicability and challenges of the implementation of ISO41001 standard in the South African context. An opinion piece was conducted on applicability and challenges of implementing management system standards in South Africa. The paper found that the challenges of implementing these systems include a lack of awareness, resistance to change, and lack of applicability to some organisations. Also, many organisations spend many human resources, capital, and time but still have inadequate and poorly deployed management systems. The paper recommends that ISO41001 implementation frameworks are developed that consider the varying scope, structure, and services within the FM environment to improve its success in the South African organisations.

Abstract
Portugal, Italy, and Norway differ by energy performance of buildings and gross domestic product (GDP). Portugal has significantly highest thermal discomfort with harsher winters. In 2021, 80% of Portuguese buildings had a low energy rating, with 75% of buildings without thermal insulation, highly contributing to the energy poverty (EP) of the country. In Italy, despite a generally mild climate, the building stock has low thermal performance. The most affected areas are the suburban and peri-urban ones, with an EP rate in southern regions between 13% and 20% compared to 8.8% at national level. Moreover, 65% of buildings were constructed before the first law on energy saving criteria and a 25% of it has never undergone any work of maintenance or improvement. Norway, despite the limited studies performs well respect to other European Economic Area and European Union countries, in investing and using indicators to enhance and monitor the green energies’ use. Because of energy price growth, seasonal price fluctuations, and different energy tariffs, energy inequality is increasing. EP risk is underestimated, masked by Norway’s high GDP and regional price disparity. Energy inequality is increasing due to energy price growth, seasonal price fluctuations, and energy prices’ geographical inequality. The barriers in reducing EP are the underestimation of risk masked by the high GDP, and the need of homogenized prices in Norway. This study provides an overview to discuss EP awareness and it assesses the drivers and barriers that influence building’s energy efficiency renovation.
Sustainable Electric Vehicle charging scheme: User requirements in designing energy trading algorithm

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Promoting Electrical Vehicles (EVs) as a cleaner alternative to traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles is an important step towards transformation to a sustainable world. However, usage of grid electricity in charging EVs hinders achieving zero carbon emissions, hence, necessitates developing a renewable energy-based model for EV charging. On the other hand, encouraging renewable energy (RE) usage contributes to United Nations 2030 agenda for sustainable development. An energy trading algorithm which facilitates trading excess renewable energy generation of households to charge EVs is a key component in such renewable energy-based EV charging model. However, to design an algorithm beneficial for both stakeholders, i.e., EV users and households with solar power systems, user requirements of both stakeholders should be taken into consideration. This paper investigates the user requirements and specifications for an improved energy trading algorithm from both stakeholders’ point of view. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 EV users and 16 household solar users in the United Kingdom (UK) to explore the above. According to the findings of the interviews, both participant categories highlight renewable energy utilisation as a key requirement, whereas EV users highlight non- financial user- experience related requirements such as improving convenience and selection of preferred charging speed and household solar panel users highlight trading with less time and effort as their requirements. Additionally, households also expect higher returns to cover capital costs of solar panel installations. These findings can be used by practitioners from the industry in developing effective energy trading solutions for end users.
Integrating Facilities Management knowledge in municipal school building: Swedish case studies
Authors: Molén Jessica , Kadefors Anna , Troje Daniella 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Due to population growth and evolving demands for flexible premises, the design and construction of school facilities is currently a highly prioritized activity for many Swedish municipalities. However, previous research has found that facilities management (FM) knowledge is rarely integrated in the design of schools, resulting in construction deficiencies, high lifecycle costs and lower user functionality. The propensity to integrate FM knowledge in school projects varies greatly across Swedish municipalities, but the underlying factors shaping such organizational capabilities are less studied. In response, this study investigates how Swedish municipalities are currently organizing the integration of FM knowledge in the design phase of schools. The case study includes three municipalities of different sizes, where 18 interviews were performed with 22 representatives from users, operations and maintenance, construction project management, procurement and top management. To analyse the findings, a framework based on knowledge management was applied. The findings showed that FM knowledge is increasingly translated into codified processes and project planning standards and guidelines, but that personalized knowledge still plays an important role. Further, knowledge sharing in this field is complex and municipalities still face challenges despite improvement efforts. Thus, there is considerable potential to strengthen knowledge codification and sharing between municipalities and on the sector level. The study also points at the importance of studying knowledge governance at higher municipal levels, where many key organizational decisions are made.

Abstract

Background
Health behaviors such as physical inactivity, unhealthy eating, smoking tobacco, and alcohol use are each leading risk factors for non-communicable chronic disease. Better understanding which behaviors tend to co-occur (i.e., cluster together) and co-vary (i.e., are correlated) may provide novel opportunities to develop more comprehensive interventions to promote multiple health behavior change. However, whether co-occurrence or co-variation-based approaches are better suited for this task remains relatively unknown.

Purpose
To compare the utility of co-occurrence vs. co-variation-based approaches for understanding the interconnectedness between multiple health-impacting behaviors.

Methods
Using baseline and follow-up data (N = 40,268) from the Canadian Longitudinal Study of Aging, we examined the co-occurrence and co-variation of health behaviors. We used cluster analysis to group individuals based on their behavioral tendencies across multiple behaviors and to examine how these clusters are associated with demographic characteristics and health indicators. We compared outputs from cluster analysis to behavioral correlations and compared regression analyses of clusters and individual behaviors predicting future health outcomes.

Results
Seven clusters were identified, with clusters differentiated by six of the seven health behaviors included in the analysis. Sociodemographic characteristics varied across several clusters. Correlations between behaviors were generally small. In regression analyses individual behaviors accounted for more variance in health outcomes than clusters.

Conclusions
Co-occurrence-based approaches may be more suitable for identifying sub-groups for intervention targeting while co-variation approaches are more suitable for building an understanding of the relationships between health behaviors.
Impact of transitioning to an active, noninterruptive CYP2C19/proton pump inhibitor alert on prescribing patterns
Authors: Massmann Amanda , Petry Natasha J 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

Purpose
To compare rates of prescriber acceptance of interruptive and noninterruptive clinical decision support (CDS) alerts regarding potential diminished therapeutic effectiveness and safety risks associated with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use in carriers of gene variants affecting cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozyme 2C19 metabolism.

Methods
A retrospective study was conducted at a large rural health system to examine different approaches to improving CDS alert acceptance while minimizing alert fatigue. Manual reviews were conducted to identify alerts regarding CYP2C19 metabolizer status displayed at the time of PPI ordering over 30-day periods before and after the transition from interruptive to noninterruptive CDS alert functionality. A chi-square test was conducted to analyze prescriber acceptance of CDS recommendations by alert modality and type of treatment modification.

Results
Overall, interruptive alerts had an acceptance rate of 18.6% (64/344), compared to 8.4% acceptance (30/357 alerts) for noninterruptive alerts (P ≤ 0.0001). Analysis of acceptance criteria ­revealed the noninterruptive alert cohort had higher acceptance, as determined by documented medication dose adjustments, than the interruptive alert cohort (53.3% [16/30] and 4.7% [3/64], respectively). The difference in acceptance rates by CDS modality and treatment modification was statistically significant (P ≤ 0.00001). The predominant indication for PPI use was gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in both cohorts.

Conclusion
Interruptive alerts that actively influenced workflow had higher acceptance rates than noninterruptive alerts that served an informational purpose without a direct disruption of workflow. The study results suggest the utilization of noninterruptive alerts may be a beneficial tool for prompting clinicians to alter dosing regimens rather than transition to an alternative agent.
Standardization of strawberry sourness and sweetness intensities using a taste sensor system and an invariant taste standard solution
Authors: Ujihara Tomomi , Hayashi Nobuyuki , Ishida Yuki , Ikezaki Hidekazu 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT
Taste is an essential factor for evaluating the quality of agricultural products. However, it is usually difficult to compare data acquired at different times or by different people because there is no invariant reference and because the evaluation methods are largely subjective. Here, we addressed these problems by developing a method for standardizing strawberry sourness and sweetness intensities using a taste sensor approach with a taste standard solution composed of sour and sweet compounds. This standard solution allows highly efficient sensor measurements because it contains the standard compounds citric acid and sucrose. In addition, we found that polyphenol destabilized the sensor response for strawberry sweetness, and its removal from the sample by appropriate treatment with polyvinylpolypyrrolidone allowed stable evaluation of the sweetness intensity. The taste sensor data obtained using this method were in good agreement with the chemical analysis values related to human sensory evaluation.
