Yellowing diseases is one types of plant diseases which are found in some of the centers of cultivation of yard long bean in Bali. The spread of yellowing diseases caused the presence of vector insects, such as whiteflies and alternative host plants, such as weeds and other crops. This problem is then examined through statistical modeling in order to determine the pattern of the relationship between the incidence of yellowing disease with the populations of whiteflies and the alternative host plants. Collection of data on the yellowing disease incidences, the abundance of whiteflies, and the existence of alternative host plants was done through a direct observation in 100 farmer fields in several centers of cultivation of yard long beans in Bali. Determination of the best mathematical model was performed by linear regression analysis with ordinary least squares method. The results indicated that the best models for the relationship between the incidence of yellowing disease (KPK) with the population of whiteflies (KB) as well as the alternative host plants of yellowing were as follows: KPK = 1,2265 KB0,9872 TIAK1,0936 (R2 = 98,43 %; P-value = 0,000). The incidence of yellowing disease was highly significant positively correlated with the population of whiteflies and yellowing symptomatic alternative host plants. The existence of alternative host plants around the field was very decisive in triggering the emergence of yellow virus disease in the crop.

Purpose – This paper aims to explore the determinants of housing supply and the relationships between land supply and housing supply in terms of quantity and time in Shanghai, China. Design/methodology/approach – Official statistical and property registration data[] from Shanghai are used to carry out multiple linear regression analysis. Findings – The authors find that land supply affects housing supply with a three-year time lag. Both construction cost and housing price impact supply with a one-year time delay. The construction cost elasticities range from 0.74 to 1.51, while housing price elasticity is 2. The authors also find that plot ratio may play more important role in the developer’s first housing sale than either plot area or sales price. An average time period from obtaining the land for residential development until marketing the product is established at 36.8 months. Research limitations/implications – Only ordinary least squares method is applied in this analysis and the property portal on which this research relies is still at an early stage. Originality/value – This research contributes to a wider understanding of issues surrounding housing supply in the local markets within China and provides the foundation for local government to better manage supply.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public hospital(s). Main funding source(s): ReForM-B-Program Background Abnormal P-wave terminal force in lead V1 (PTFV1) is associated with atrial remodeling. The relationship between PTFV1 and atrial function after acute myocardial injury is insufficiently understood and may be elucidated by detailed feature tracking (FT) strain analysis of cardiac magnetic resonance images (CMR). Purpose We investigated the relationship between PTFV1 and left atrial (LA) strain (measured by CMR) in a patient cohort presenting with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Methods 56 patients with acute MI underwent CMR within 3-5 days after MI. PTFV1 was measured as the product of negative P-wave amplitude and duration in lead V1 (Fig. A). A PTFV1 >4000 ms*µV was defined as abnormal. CMR cine data were retrospectively analyzed using a dedicated FT software. LA strain (ε) and strain rate (SR) for atrial reservoir ([εs]; [SRs]), conduit ([εe]; [SRe]) and booster function ([εa]; [SRa]) were measured in two long-axis views (Fig. A). Results Patients with abnormal PTFV1 had significantly reduced LA conduit function εe and SRe (Fig. B + D). There was a significant negative correlation between the extent of PTFV1 and both εe and SRe (Fig. C + E). In univariate and multivariate regression models, both PTFV1 and age predicted atrial conduit function. In contrast, multiple clinical co-factors had no significant influence on εe (Table). Interestingly, linear regression models revealed only mild dependency of PTFV1 on conventional parameters of cardiac function such as left ventricular ejection fraction (p = 0.059; R²(adj.)=0.047), and no dependency on structural parameters such as LA area (p = 0.639; R²(adj.)=0.016), or LA fractional area change (p = 0.825; R²(adj.)=0.020). Conclusion Abnormal PTFV1 was associated with reduced LA function independent from numerous clinical co-factors in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the relationship between organizational capital and the subsets of organizational capital (intellectual capital (IC)) cost and cost stickiness. Design/methodology/approach This study is causal correlational research. The data related to the company’s financial statements were collected using the Rahavard Novin Software and www.rdis.ir. In this study, panel data were run with the use of Eviews 8, in order to test the hypotheses. The ordinary least-squares method is used in this study to estimate the parameters of the model. Findings The results obtained from the study show that there is a significant relationship between organizational capital and cost stickiness. However, there is no significant difference between high and low rank in terms of organizational capital and cost stickiness. In addition, there is a significant difference between IC and cost stickiness. Moreover, there is no significant difference between the components of IC and cost stickiness. Also, IC has an effect on the intensity of the relationship between organizational capital and cost stickiness. Originality/value This study explores the relationship between organizational capital and the subsets of IC and cost stickiness. Independent variables used in this study include organizational capital, IC and its components in the Pulic model, i.e. the efficiency of capital employed, the efficiency of human capital and the efficiency of structural capital.

PurposeThis paper attempts to use agglomeration theory and ecological theory to explore how geographic agglomeration affects the graduation performance of incubator community. The authors argue that increasing the incubator community density can improve the opportunities for mutualism and learning among incubators. However, as the competition intensifies, the above positive relationship will weaken when the incubator density exceeds a certain level.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use a unique panel dataset of 438 National Technology Business Incubators (NTBIs) in China spanning from 2008 to 2012. Since each NTBIs contains multiple observations for different years, these observations that belong to a cross-section are not completely independent of each other; therefore, the regression using ordinary least squares method underestimates the standard deviations of the variables. To solve this problem, the authors regress this cluster panel data using the Newey–West robust variance estimator.FindingsThe empirical results show that incubator community density is conducive to promoting incubation performance, while the positive relationship between the incubator community density and incubation performance gradually weakens as the population density of incubators surpasses a certain level. Further, the authors examine how incubator assistance (technical assistance and business assistance) moderates the relationship between incubator density and incubation performance. The results indicate that this positive relationship is stronger when more business assistance is provided by incubator managers, while the moderating role of technical assistance is not supported.Originality/valueThis paper enriches the research on the relationship between incubator community density and graduation performance from the perspective of incubator assistance which helps start-ups to understand, absorb and transform external knowledge and resources, thereby promoting their growth.

BACKGROUND: Families have an important role in prevention for patients who are positive for coronavirus diseases (COVID)-19 with mild symptoms and without symptoms to recover. Support such as providing positive information, moral reinforcement, and special time given by the family is thought to strengthen mental health and can increase the immunity of the patient. AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of family support in the recovery of COVID-19 patients. METHODS: Used was observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were 30 people who had family members diagnosed with COVID-19 and lived in one house and 30 patients recovered from COVID-19 in the islands of Java and Kalimantan. Data analysis used Fisher’s exact test and calculated the prevalence ratio to determine the most dominant role. RESULTS: The results showed that the p-value of the relationship between family support and the recovery of COVID-19 patients was 0.023, and the p-value of the relationship between components and the recovery of COVID-19 patients was emotional support (0.048), appreciation or appraisal support (0.007), informational support (0.023), and instrumental support (0.034). The prevalence ratio for each of these components was emotional support (PR = 0.714), followed by instrumental support (0.667), informational support (0.600), and appreciation or appraisal support (PR = 0.333). CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant role between family supports in the recovery of COVID-19 patients. Emotional support is the strongest component that plays a role in recovery of COVID-19 patients.
