Abstract Insects warehouse pests contained in commodities, especially tobacco, can cause a decrease in the quantity and quality of commodity. The main pest insects found in tobacco storage warehouses are Lassioderma serricorne and Pholcus phalangioides. This study aims to analyze and compare the effectiveness of the use of fumigant storin to control insect pests L. serricorne and P. phalangioides. Methods used in this study include preparation of test insects, fumigation application, identification, calculation of mortality, and data analysis. The data were analyzed statistically using the One Way ANOVA test. The results showed that there was a significant difference in morphility between groups of test insects. Mortality is highest in the L. serricorne test insect group, which indicates that fumigant storin is very effective in controlling barn pest insects, especially L. serricorne. To control insect pests warehouses in the future, it is recommended to use biopesticides to be safer for food.

The current study was targeted at investigating the relationship between translation students’ personality types and the quality of their English-to-Persian translations with respect to different text types. To this aim, 35 undergraduate senior students of translation were randomly sampled. To obtain some demographic information about the participants, the researchers used a background questionnaire. The participants were given three different text types for the translation task. An advertisement, a scientific text and a narrative text were chosen to serve Reiss’ text typology (1971) including operative, informative and expressive texts, respectively. The students were also provided with retrospective questionnaires to shed light on their performance in the act of translating. Subsequently, once the participants’ personality types were determined via the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) anchored in Jung’s psychological theory, their dominant mental functions involving intuition, sensation, feeling and thinking were identified. To analyze the data, the One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) procedure and post-hoc analysis were employed. The results of the study indicated that the only dichotomy showing a significant difference was that of intuition versus sensation. Simply put, the intuitors outperformed their sensor counterparts in the translation of the expressive text. Taking into account the findings of the current study, the researchers suggest some pedagogical guidelines too.

Abstract –  This study aims to explore how self-compassion shapes the experience of hospital nurses in Emergency Department (ED) in Jakarta. Previous studies demonstrated that the lack of self-compassion can increase compassion fatigue, thereby reducing the quality of services and eventually affect patients’ well-being. Mixed-methods design was employed by collecting data from 77 nurses through convenient sampling. Two nurses with highest self-compassion scores and a nurse with lowest self-compassion score were interviewed for further analysis. The descriptive result indicated that self-compassion of ED nurses in Jakarta was considerably high and only one nurse had relatively low self-compassion. There was a significant difference in self-compassion based on working time and hospital types. Qualitative analysis indicated that under stressful circumstances, nurses with high self-compassion tended to engage with various religious activities, while the one with low self-compassion tended to be self-indulging.Abstrak — Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi self-compassion perawat rumah sakit bagian Instalasi Gawat Darurat (IGD) di Jakarta. Studi sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa kurangnya self-compassion dapat meningkatkan rasa lelah secara mental, sehingga menurunkan kualitas pelayanan rumah sakit dan dapat berdampak pada kesejahteraan pasien. Desain mixed-methods digunakan dengan mengambil 77 sampel perawat dari berbagai tipe rumah sakit melalui teknik sampel convenient. Dua perawat dengan self-compassion tertinggi dan satu perawat dengan self-compassion terendah diwawancarai untuk analisa data kualitatif. Hasil deskriptif mengindikasikan bahwa self-compassion perawat IGD di Jakarta tergolong tinggi dan hanya satu perawat yang ditemukan memiliki self-compassion rendah. Terdapat perbedaan signifikan mengenai self-compassion perawat berdasarkan lama bekerja dan tipe rumah sakit. Hasil kualitatif mengindikasikan bahwa ketika stres, perawat dengan self-compassion tinggi cenderung melakukan aktivitas religius, sementara perawat dengan self-compassion rendah cenderung melakukan self-indulgence.

Teachers of Islamic education in Indonesia have some problems. On the one hand, they are required to meet the standards of qualification, competencies, and certification. On the other hand, they have over-working hour due to the imbalance between the number of the teachers and the students. This fact will undoubtedly affect their work quality. The work quality of the teachers can be measured by five kinds of competences: pedagogic, personality, social, professional, and leadership. This research is aimed to measure the five competences of the teachers of Islamic Education in Senior High Schools and Senior Vocational Schools (both SMA and SMK) in Central Java, and it is also to examine the hypothesis that there is no significant difference in teachers’ competences in terms of their status: civil servants (PNS) or not (non-PNS), and certified or not. By using quantitative approach, the research has two important findings. The first, the competency of the Islamic teachers in Central Java is on the medium level which have a score at 2.95 on a scale of 4.00. The pedagogic competence occupies the highest level with 3.25, in contrast the social competence is on the lowest one with 2.9. The second, there is no significant difference in competences between the teachers who are civil servants and those who are not. On the contrary, there is a significant difference in competences between the teachers who are certified and who are not certified yet.

The beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (F. 1775) (Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) is a destructive pest of stored chickpea seeds. Bio-pesticides are pesticides of animal, plant and bacterial origin. Plant products are among the best known substances tested against insects. These products have an insecticidal and repellent effect on insects and can also affect certain biological parameters such as fecundity, life span and reproduction. In search of plant bio-pesticides to control Callosobruchus maculatus main pest of stored chickpea seeds, 18 plants traditionally used in Morocco to control insect pests have been tested in the laboratory, for their toxic effects against this beetle. A conventional synthetic insecticide was included as a positive control, while untreated seed was used as a control. The toxicity of the powders was assessed by measuring the parameters of the life cycle in a situation of non-choice maintained at a climatic chamber with a temperature of 25 ±1 degrees Celsius, a relative humidity of 75% and a photoperiod of 14h (light) / 10h (darkness) for several successive generations. The powders of Mentha pulegium and Syzygium aromaticum have completely wiped out the population of the bruches (% IR=100%) 2%, 1% and 0.5% p/p. Similarly, the powders of the two plants retained the weights of the seeds, which remain significantly different (P < 0.01) at the weight of the control. Also Origanum compactum , Mentha officinalis, Allium sativum Zingiber officinale, Urtica doica and Calamintha officinalis have significantly reduced (P < - 0.01) the population of bruches, the percentage reduction reached (97.5, 89.32, 72.84, 50.3, 46.52 and 39.24% by the highest 2%). The other plants show no significant difference from the control. The results therefore suggest that Syzygium aromaticum powder and Mentha pulegium have an insecticide potential similar to those of conventional insecticides and could be a biotechnological alternative against C. maculatus infestations and damag

Objective To study the one-year effect of wearing orthokeratology (OK) lenses on the visual quality of juvenile myopia. Methods The right eyes of 36 juvenile myopias were retrospectively studied in this work. Q-value, e-value, corneal curvature, strehl ratio (SR), modulation transfer function (MTF) and wavefront aberration (WA) were compared before and at 1, 3 and 12 months after wearing OK lenses. The SR, MTF and WA of cornea, internal optic and ocular were analyzed separately. The spherical and cylinder diopter, vision acuity, compensating factor (CF) and compensative rate (CF%) were compared before and at 12 months after wearing OK lenses. Results (1) The vision of LogMAR increased and the corneal curvature decreased significantly after wearing OK lenses. There was no significant difference for the e-value before and after wearing OK lenses. The Q-value increased at 1 month but decreased at 3 and 12 months remarkably. (2) The ocular and internal optic SR and MTF increased significantly at 1 month and then remained stable. The MTF in different spacial frequencies increased after wearing OK lenses. There was no significant difference for the corneal SR before and after wearing OK lenses, and the corneal MTF decreased significantly after wearing OK lenses. (3) For the ocular, the total higher order aberration (HOA), spherical, coma and trefoil aberrations increased, and the total aberration, total lower order aberration (LOA) and defocus aberration decreased obviously except astigmatism. The corneal aberrations increased significantly after wearing OK lenses except astigmatism. For the internal optic, the total aberration, total LOA and defocus aberration decreased, and the total HOA, coma and trefoil aberration increased significantly except the astigmatism and spherical aberrations. (4) The CF and CF% of total aberration, total LOA, total HOA and coma aberrations increased, and those of astigmatism and spherical decreased at 12 months. Conclusions Orthokeratology is effective in correcting the refractive error and improving the vision quality of juvenile myopia over the one-year follow-up period.

INTRODUCTION: Annually ~45 citizens per 100,000 have no signs of circulation and are assessed by teams of the Vienna Ambulance Service. Only in 25 percent of these cases sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is achieved and merely unsatisfying 11.3 percent leave the hospital again. The goal of this project is to follow up on chest compression performances of the ambulance crews in Vienna after the Circulation Improving Resuscitation Care (CIRC) Trial some years ago. METHODS: This observational trial assesses the quality of chest compression based on the guideline recommendations. Data are gathered from run-reports and written event recordings as described by the Utstein criteria including command and control center and emergency call records, ECG, thoracic impedance data, vital parameters as well as hospital records. During the collection of this data, the ambulance service of Vienna received standardized feedback on their CPR performance. RESULTS: From August 1, 2013 to April 30, 2014701 patients were registered. MedianCompression ratewas 108/min.Median fraction of time in which chest compression were given with the target rate of 100 to 120/min, per case is 75% and median hands on fraction was 82%.Mean percentage of minutes with a hands off fraction of 75 or higher is 72% (SD ± 24). Comparing the group who regained ROSC to those who did not no significant difference can be found in either hands on fraction as well as frequency. The confidence interval of hands on fraction within the group that regained ROSC is between 75% and 80% compared to 74% and 78% within the group that did not. CONCLUSION: The missing presence of any difference between the groups with regained ROSC and the one that did not leads to the conclusion that the quality of chest compression is on overall high level and further improvement is hardly possible and will most likely not lead to further more ROSC.

This research was carried out to assess the qualifying examinations being administered by a school’s department for a of university in Central Luzon, Philippines for the Incoming Second Year, Third Year and Fifth Year BS Accountancy Students. Using the physical and administrative factors are from Aiken et al. (2008), and the Psychological Testing and Assessment, and University of Waterloo’s Center for Excellence (2016), when Preparing Tests and Exams are the guidelines for qualitative factors of exams revealed that the quality of exams had the lowest mean rating compared to physical environment and administrative responsibilities as the factors when assessing the qualifying examinations. The participants were two hundred ninety four (294) students who took the qualifying examinations. The analysis of variance findings confirmed that there is a significant difference on the assessment of the qualifying exams if grouped according to incoming year level and status. The return of the two strike policy to replace the one strike policy, is the most preferred recommendation by the examinees followed by the special remediation program for deserving ‘late bloomer’ students and the special review classes in preparation of the examination.

O controle das pragas da erva-mate, dentre as quais a broca-da-erva-mate, Hedypathes betulinus, é limitado principalmente a técnicas silviculturais e catação manual, pois não é permitida a aplicação de agroquímicos nessa cultura. A fim de contribuir com informações para o controle biológico de H. betulinus, o presente trabalho teve por objetivos determinar a eficácia e o número de aplicações anuais do micoinseticida à base do fungo entomopatogênico Beauveria bassiana para o controle dessa praga. Os experimentos foram conduzidos em uma área de erva-mate em monocultura, no município de Campo Alegre, SC, Brasil. O formulado foi pulverizado no tronco e na base das árvores, de acordo com um cronograma de duas ou três aplicações, em diferentes meses do ano. Constatou-se a eficácia com a utilização do formulado, sendo que os dados de captura das áreas tratadas diferiram estatisticamente da testemunha e do tratamento com catação manual. Contudo, não houve diferença estatística entre os tratamentos com duas e três aplicações, sendo capturados, respectivamente, 18,4% e 17,7% dos insetos marcados. Assim, apenas duas pulverizações com B. bassiana realizadas nos meses de novembro e fevereiro são eficientes para o controle de H. betulinus e manutenção do inóculo na área de erva-mate em monocultura.Palavras chave: Fungo entomopatogênico; controle biológico; flutuação populacional.AbstractBeauveria bassiana efficiency to Hedypathes betulinus control in yerba maté, Ilex paraguariensis. Yerba mate pest control, especially Hedypathes betulinus, is limited basically to silvicultural practices and insect removal, once application of chemical insecticides in such crop is not allowed. This research aimed to produce data for biological control of H. betulinus by evaluation of efficiency and number of applications of an entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana formulation for control of such pest species. The experiment was carried out on a yerba maté monoculture area, in Campo Alegre county, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The fungus was sprayed on trees’ trunk, following a chronogram of two and three applications, in different months. Efficiency of B. bassiana formulation could be demonstrated by the number of recaptured insects in areas of application, which was statistically lower than the one in the control area. However, there was no significant difference between two and three fungus application, with, respectively 18.4% and 17.7% of recaptured insects. Thus, only two yearly B. bassiana applications, in November and February, are enough to control H. betulinus and keep inoculum in an area of yerba maté monoculture. Keywords: Entomopathogenic fungi; biological control; insect fluctuation.
