The Student Psychological Contract as a Predictor of University Brand Evangelism in Tanzanian Higher Education:
Authors: Amani David 
Published: July 2022

This study sought to extend empirical and theoretical understanding of university brand evangelism as an outcome of the student psychological contract in the higher education sector. The conceptual model was developed and tested using structural equation modeling on 451 students at two colleges of higher education in Tanzania. The findings indicate that the student psychological contract influences university brand love en route to university brand evangelism. Thus, university operations should be well-defined by a social contract that stipulates the obligations of both students and staff. For students to engage in university brand evangelism, higher education institutions must fulfill their expectations as stipulated in the contract. More specifically, their staff should fulfill their obligations emanating from promises made to students. This calls for specific standard procedures to fulfill expectations and thus optimize university brand evangelism.
Key words: Higher education sector, higher education institutions, university, branding strategies, student psychological contract, university brand evangelism
Compensatory growth and understory soil stoichiometric features of Hippophae rhamnoides at different stubble heights
Authors: Wang Xin , Guo Yuefeng , Qi Wei , Zhen Li , Yao Yunfeng , Qin Fucang 
Published: July 2022

Background
This study was aimed to explore the compensatory growth ability and influence mechanism of Hippophae rhamnoides at the decaying phase in feldspathic sandstone areas of Ordos, and clarify the stubble height when the compensatory growth ability of H. rhamnoides was the strongest.

Methods
The H. rhamnoides forests in the decaying phase from an exposed feldspathic sandstone zone of Ordos were chosen. The compensatory growth ability of H. rhamnoides at stubble height of 0 cm (S1), 10 cm (S2), 15 cm (S3), 20 cm (S4) and control (CK) was investigated with H. rhamnoides forests at the decaying stage in the exposed feldspathic sandstone areas of Ordos. Relationships of compensatory growth ability of H. rhamnoides and understory soil properties with understory soil stoichiometric features as well as the response mechanism to stubble height were explored.

Results
(1) Overcompensatory growth of H. rhamnoides in feldspathic sandstone areas occurred at all stubble heights. Especially, the plant height compensation index (1.45) and biomass compensation index (1.25) at the stubble height of 15 cm were both larger compared with other stubbling treatments. These results indicate the stubble height of 15 cm can well promote the growth of the ground part of H. rhamnoides. (2) All stubble heights significantly affected the contents and eco-stoichiometric ratios of soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) in understory soils, but the influence rules differed. SOC, TN, and TP contents at all stubble heights were larger than those of the control, and maximized at the stubble height of 15 cm. The carbon(C): phosphorus(P) ratio, and nitrogen (N):(P) ratio after stubbling treatments were all lower compared with the control, and minimized to 19.52 and 1.84 respectively at the stubble height of 15 cm. (3) The understory C:N:P stoichiometric ratio of H. rhamnoides in feldspathic sandstone areas is jointly affected by compensatory growth, stubble height, and soil physicochemical properties. The total explanation rate determined from RDA is 93.1%. The understory soil eco-stoichiometric ratio of H. rhamnoides is mainly affected by soil moisture content (contribution of 87.6%) and total porosity (7.9%), indicating soil moisture content is the most influential factor. The findings will offer some new clues for eco-construction and theoretically underlie soil-water loss administration.
ZmIAA5 regulates maize root growth and development by interacting with ZmARF5 under the specific binding of ZmTCP15/16/17
Authors: Yang Feiyang , Shi Yutian , Zhao Manli , Cheng Beijiu , Li Xiaoyu 
Published: July 2022

Background
The auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a type of endogenous plant hormone with a low concentration in plants, but it plays an important role in their growth and development. The AUX/IAA gene family was found to be an early sensitive auxin gene with a complicated way of regulating growth and development in plants. The regulation of root growth and development by AUX/IAA family genes has been reported in Arabidopsis, rice and maize.

Results
In this study, subcellular localization indicated that ZmIAA1-ZmIAA6 primarily played a role in the nucleus. A thermogram analysis showed that AUX/IAA genes were highly expressed in the roots, which was also confirmed by the maize tissue expression patterns. In maize overexpressing ZmIAA5, the length of the main root, the number of lateral roots, and the stalk height at the seedling stage were significantly increased compared with those of the wild type, while the EMS mutant zmiaa5 was significantly reduced. The total number of roots and the dry weight of maize overexpressing ZmIAA5 at the mature stage were also significantly increased compared with those of the wild type, while those of the mutant zmiaa5 was significantly reduced. Yeast one-hybrid experiments showed that ZmTCP15/16/17 could specifically bind to the ZmIAA5 promoter region. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation and yeast two-hybridization indicated an interaction between ZmIAA5 and ZmARF5.

Conclusions
Taken together, the results of this study indicate that ZmIAA5 regulates maize root growth and development by interacting with ZmARF5 under the specific binding of ZmTCP15/16/17.
Internal Communications and Organization Performance in Zanzibar Public Institutions
Authors: Salim Adilu Mussa 
Published: July 2022

Today’s competitive business environment has witnessed the significance of effective internal communication and its flow as crucial variables impacting collaboration among workers and allowing the organization to function successfully. This paper seeks to assess the contribution of internal communication to the organization’s level of performance by specifically identifying tools used by the employees in the organization to communicate internally. In addition, the study aims at determining the perceptible effects of internal communication to on organizational performance. A qualitative survey questionnaire with a size of 150 questionnaires was conducted together with interviews and observations and the data obtained were analyzed using the Software Package for Social Sciences. The results have validated the connection between the internal communication tools used and the performance of the organization. Organizations found to be using multiple tools of internal communication that produce a positive contribution for better performance and with the presence of scatted employees work station as in the municipal case, face to face communication through conference and mobile telephone were mostly preferable than an internal memo and email address due to poor Information and Communication and Technology (ICT). The employees sighted the benefits of internal communication in their organization performance since their activities were planned and implemented by internal communication and hence employees were able to remind each other of the working agreement as the principle to achieve organization plan and objectives. Internal communication in the public institution has several positive contributions to better organizational performance and the organization may quickly employ its activities with accurate performance when internal communication is well utilized. However, some public organizations like the council faced same challenges such as late timing, information leakage among staff, poor effective internal communication strategy, communication breakdown and poor channel of communication.

Authors: Ogden Grace Flusche , Dotray Peter A. 
Published: July 2022

Aims: Determine the influence of sequential spray order and role of glufosinate when used in a system with 2,4-D to control Palmer amaranth at two different growth stages.
Study Design: Randomized complete block design with three replications.
Place and Duration of Study: A fallow, non-crop field at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center, Lubbock, Texas, during the 2018 and 2019 growing seasons.
Methodology: Herbicides were applied to 7 to 15 cm and 25 to 30 cm Palmer amaranth with a handheld 1.93m CO2-pressurized backpack calibrated to deliver 140 L ha-1 at 207 kPa. Palmer amaranth control was visually estimated on a scale of 0 (no control) to 100% (complete control) relative to the nontreated control. Palmer amaranth biomass and density were collected 43 and 36 days after the last sequential application for 7 to 15 cm and 25 to 30 cm Palmer amaranth in 2019. Palmer amaranth control, biomass, and density were subjected to analysis of variance and means were separated using Fisher’s Protected LSD at P=.05.
Results: 2,4-D choline + glyphosate followed by glufosinate provided the greatest level of Palmer amaranth control for both sizes of Palmer amaranth. Overall, Palmer amaranth control was not influenced by sequential application timing. Biomass and density were not significantly different among treatments.
Conclusion: Sequential application order of glufosinate and 2,4-D was not an important factor for Palmer amaranth control. However, due to 2,4-D label restrictions, applying 2,4-D choline + glyphosate followed by glufosinate may be the best option for maximum efficacy.
