The main principle of ecological management is on how people show efforts to improve their life quality while also improving their environment quality. By then, the attempt to reduce house dust allergen material sources is seen as a holistic environmental management movement that pays larger attention to various housing factors, such as: chemical environment, physical built, as well as biological and socio-cultural nature of house occupants. Another effort to empower community through environmental approach to manage healthy house is intended to be one of the strategies to reduce the amount of allergen inhalant material in dust the house. This effort is seen as a preventive act to reduce the spread of atopy disease as well as to be one engineering basis of healthy living management. The real unrevealed problem is how to conduct an environmental study with holistic approach in order to significantly reduce the source of allergen in the house dust. Based on this holism concept, a further and broader research needs to be conducted to deeply observe the decrease of house dust allergen inhalant level. This study aims at designing a model to reduce house dust allergen inhalant level based on its environment characteristics of the living spaces.

This study aims to determine the effect variables on the implementation of talent management of based education (TMBE). The paper is part of the results study in 3 (three) cities in DKI Jakarta, Banten, West Java Province, Republic of Indonesia with a sample of three senior high schools each taken by purposive technique, especially good criteria and have teacher guidance and counseling status. From each school 20 high school teachers were randomly drawn to answer the questionnaire distributed to them. The questionnaire was previously validated and reliable using the product moment test criteria from Pearson and Cronbach Alpha with the help of the SPSS program version 24.0. Data is processed and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach using the Lisrel 8.70 program. The study resulted that the provincial government policy variables (PDS), school conditions (SC), teaching activities (LT), teacher guidance and counseling (GC) functions, and parent participation (PP) had a direct positive effect on the TMBE, Cultural Values (CV), and National Education (NE) variables. The indirect effect of PDS, SC, LT, GC, PP on TMBE is greater through CV and NE, then TMBE has a positive effect on Student Outcome (SO). It is recommended that TMBE implementation requires a holistic approach taking into account the variables and all the indicators studied. Ignoring one or more variables and trend indicators will influence the success or failure of talent-based education management and in turn will have an impact on student achievement (SO).

In this fragmented industrial world, where there are large capital movements, the varied pattern of global trade, fierce challenges and considerable innovations, the holistic approach in workplaces has become a dream! The subtle aspect of the understanding, initiative, cooperation that flows to industrial harmony is essential in organizations to reduce the risk of relapsing into conflicts and strengthens the foundation of its sustainability. The paper probes into the factors that would create and allow industrial harmony and peace to hold and flourish. This would help employees reinforce each other, obtain mental serenity, create a base for realization of their creative potential and stand firm amidst a myriad of challenges and strained situations. Descriptive research with a cross-sectional survey has been conducted on the employees of the selected manufacturing units of West Bengal. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis has been performed with structural equation modeling on the proposed research model. The prime findings of the study reveal that organizational trust and infusing a tolerant attitude toward conflict in a firm has been instrumental in instilling a sense of harmony and peace in one’s mind and spirit. Such an ambience would generate a sense of participation, cooperation and would mutually reinforce social exchange.

Crop health management systems can be designed according to practices that help to reduce crop losses by restricting pathogen development and promoting host plant growth. A good understanding of pathogen and host dynamics, which are interdependent, is therefore needed. In this article, we used a holistic approach to explain the behavior of coffee leaf rust (CLR), a major coffee disease. We monitored coffee plant and CLR dynamics simultaneously in plots under different disease management and agroforestry systems. Diseased leaves were also collected to characterize inoculum stock and rust life stages (latent rust area, area with uredospores, necrosis due to rust) through picture analysis. We used structural equation modeling to obtain an overview of CLR pathosystem functioning on a plant scale. This overview integrates processes such as disease dilution by host leaf renewal, direct and indirect effects of fruit load on CLR development, antagonistic effects of shading depending on rust life stages, the tonic effect of copper-based fungicides on leaf retention, and effects on rust life stages depending on fungicide types. From our results, we also deduced that the inoculum stock could be calculated in unsprayed plots from the rust area with uredospores, with uredospores at 58 × 103 cm−2, on average.
