The study aims to examining the connections among entrepreneurial culture, education, innovation on entrepreneurial intention with entrepreneurial mindset as intervening variable. Questionnaire data are distributed to 102 students from business management and business administration class of 2020 Telkom University who enrolled in small startup business development course for business management and entrepreneurship for business admnistration students, which was taken using snowball sampling methods with a helps from SmartPLS 3. The findings reveal that the the entrepreneurial culture significantly impacts entrepreneurial intention, mindset, and education, while entrepreneurial education has positive influence to entrepreneurial mindset and innovation. Furthermore, entrepreneurial innovation influenced both entrepreneurial mindset and intention. The study also confirmed the direct effects of entrepreneurial mindset to entrepreneurial intention as the final hypothesis.

Engineering the plant intracellular immune receptor Sr50 to restore recognition of the AvrSr50 escape mutant.

Sr50, an intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptor (NLR), confers resistance of wheat against stem rust caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici. The receptor recognizes the pathogen effector AvrSr50 through its C-terminal leucine-rich repeat domain, initiating a localized cell death immune response. However, this immunity is compromised by mutations in the effector, as in the escape mutant AvrSr50QCMJC, which evades Sr50 detection. In this study, we employed iterative computational structural analyses and site-directed mutagenesis for rational engineering of Sr50 to gain recognition of AvrSr50QCMJC. Following an initial structural hypothesis driven by molecular docking, we identified the Sr50K711D single mutant, which induces an intermediate immune response against AvrSr50QCMJC without losing recognition against AvrSr50. Increasing gene expression with a stronger promoter enabled the mutant to elicit a robust response, indicating weak effector recognition can be complemented by enhanced receptor expression. Further structural refinements led to the creation of five double mutants and two triple mutants with dual recognition of AvrSr50 and AvrSr50QCMJC with greater immune response intensities than Sr50K711D against the escape mutant. All effective mutations against AvrSr50QCMJC required the K711D substitution, indicating that multiple solutions exist for gain of recognition, but the path to reach these mutations may be confined. Furthermore, this single substitution alters the prediction of AlphaFold 2, allowing it to model the complex structure of Sr50K711D and AvrSr50 that match our final structural hypothesis. Collectively, our study outlines a framework for rational engineering of NLR systems to overcome pathogen escape mutations and provides datasets for future computational models for NLR resurrection.

Pengaruh Penggunaan Video Pembelajaran terhadap Hasil Belajar Siswa Kelas IV SDIT Permata Bangsa Tahun Pelajaran 2023/2024

This research is based on the background that learning activities at SDIT Permata Bangsa still use the lecture method, causing learning to become monotonous and the learning process in the classroom to be less interesting. This research aims to determine the effect of using learning videos on the learning outcomes of class IV students at SDIT Permata Bangsa. This research design uses a Quasi Experimental Design (Quasi Experimental) type Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The subjects of this research were class IV students at SDIT Permata Bangsa consisting of 28 students from class IV A totaling 14 students as the Experimental group and IV B totaling 14 students as the Control group. The data in this research were obtained through learning outcomes tests, namely pretest questions to test student learning outcomes before being given treatment and posttests, namely questions to test learning outcomes after being given treatment and documentation. The data analysis techniques used include normality, homogeneity and final analysis tests. Testing the final analysis or research hypothesis uses the paired sample t-test. The results of this research prove that the use of learning video media has a positive effect on improving the learning outcomes of class VI students at SDIT Permata Bangsa for the 2023/2024 academic year. This is shown from the results of the calculation of the paired sample t-test hypothesis test. The results obtained are tcount of 16,101 and ttable with df 20 is 2,086, meaning 16,101 > 2,086 (tcount is greater than ttable) so H1 is accepted and Ho is rejected. So it can be concluded that the use of learning video media influences the learning outcomes of class IV students at SDIT Permata Bangsa.

Eye movement analysis for real-world settings using segmented linear regression

Eye movement analysis is critical to studying human brain phenomena such as perception, cognition, and behavior. However, under uncontrolled real-world settings, the recorded gaze coordinates (commonly used to track eye movements) are typically noisy and make it difficult to track change in the state of each phenomenon precisely, primarily because the expected change is usually a slower transient process. This paper proposes an approach, Improved Naive Segmented linear regression (INSLR), which approximates the gaze coordinates with a piecewise linear function (PLF) referred to as a hypothesis. INSLR improves the existing NSLR approach by employing a hypotheses clustering algorithm, which redefines the final hypothesis estimation in two steps: (1) At each time-stamp, measure the likelihood of each hypothesis in the candidate list of hypotheses by using the least square fit score and its distance from the k-means of the hypotheses in the list. (2) Filter hypothesis based on a pre-defined threshold. We demonstrate the significance of the INSLR method in addressing the challenges of uncontrolled real-world settings such as gaze denoising and minimizing gaze prediction errors from cost-effective devices like webcams. Experiment results show INSLR consistently outperforms the baseline NSLR in denoising noisy signals from three eye movement datasets and minimizes the error in gaze prediction from a low precision device for 71.1% samples. Furthermore, this improvement in denoising quality is further validated by the improved accuracy of the oculomotor event classifier called NSLR-HMM and enhanced sensitivity in detecting variations in attention induced by distractor during online lecture.

Relationships between combined and individual field crops’ biomass and planting density

ContextField crops, irrigated and rain-fed, constitute the majority of cropland worldwide. An important agricultural variable determining their biomass production is planting density. ObjectiveThe objective of the study was to explore the relationships between the biomass (dry matter) and planting density for either major individual field crops or all field crops, combined, and to suggest empirical models describing them. MethodsThis article describes a meta-analysis of the literature data on biomass per unit area or plant versus planting density for 8 major field crops: 4 cereals (corn, wheat, sorghum, and pearl millet) and 4 forbs (soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, and buckwheat). ResultsWhen data from all 8 field crops are combined, it seems that areal biomass production is practically independent of planting density, apparently obeying the constant final yield hypothesis. By contrast, analyzing each of the 8 crops separately, there is a clear rising trend of areal biomass with increasing planting density, with a mean intraspecific allometric exponent of about 0.25, and individual exponents that increase systematically with a decrease in the average planting density. ConclusionsApplying a planting density-dependent allometric exponent improves the predictability of the interspecific biomass–planting density relationship for field crops. A bounding, exponential model that describes the biomass–planting density relationship in the agricultural range of 1–1000 plants per m2 better than power-law allometric equations is proposed. Although the biological meaning of a derived generic expression relating areal biomass to single-plant biomass for field crops is not clear, the deviation of the outliers probably reflects already utilized or remaining breeding potential for increased areal biomass and agricultural yields. ImplicationsA good understanding, quantification, and prediction of the biomass–planting density relationship is essential for both plant breeding and management of crop production. Plant breeders need this knowledge to choose between strategies for either increasing the single-plant biomass or increasing the plants’ tolerance to high planting density. Agronomists and extensionists need it to optimize planting density for a particular variety under given environmental and agricultural (GxExM) conditions.

Safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of a replication-defective human cytomegalovirus vaccine, V160, in cytomegalovirus-seronegative women: a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial

A vaccine that prevents cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in women could reduce the incidence of congenital CMV infection, a major cause of neurodevelopmental disability. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a replication-defective investigational CMV vaccine, V160, in CMV-seronegative women. This phase 2b, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted at 90 sites in seven countries (USA, Finland, Canada, Israel, Spain, Russia, and Australia). Eligible participants were generally healthy, CMV-seronegative, non-pregnant, 16-35-year-old women of childbearing potential with exposure to children aged 5 years or younger. Participants were randomly assigned using central randomisation via an interactive response technology system 1:1:1 to one of three groups: V160 three-dose regimen (V160 at day 1, month 2, and month 6), V160 two-dose regimen (V160 on day 1, placebo at month 2, and V160 at month 6), or placebo (saline solution at day 1, month 2, and month 6). The primary outcomes were the efficacy of three doses of V160 in reducing the incidence of primary CMV infection during the follow-up period starting 30 days after the last dose of vaccine using a fixed event rate design, and the safety and tolerability of the two-dose and three-dose V160 regimens. We planned to test the efficacy of a two-dose regimen of V160 in reducing the incidence of primary CMV infection only if the primary efficacy hypothesis was met. Analyses for the primary efficacy endpoint were performed on the per-protocol efficacy population; safety analyses included all randomly assigned participants who received study vaccine. The primary efficacy hypothesis was tested at prespecified interim and final analyses. The study was ongoing and efficacy data continued to accrue at the time of final testing of the primary efficacy hypothesis. Vaccine efficacy was re-estimated after final testing of the primary efficacy hypothesis based on all available efficacy data at end of study. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03486834) and EudraCT (2017-004233-86) and is complete. Between April 30, 2018, and Aug 30, 2019, 7458 participants were screened, of whom 2220 were randomly assigned to the V160 three-dose group (n=733), V160 two-dose group (n=733), or placebo group (n=734). A total of 523 participants in the V160 three-dose group and 519 in the placebo group were included in the final hypothesis testing. Of these, there were 11 cases of CMV infection in the V160 three-dose group and 20 cases in the placebo group. The vaccine efficacy for the V160 three-dose group was 44·6% (95% CI -15·2 to 74·8) at the final testing of the primary efficacy hypothesis, a result corresponding to failure to demonstrate the primary efficacy hypothesis. On the basis of this result, the study was terminated for futility. The re-estimate of vaccine efficacy for the V160 three-dose group based on all available efficacy data at end of study (556 participants in the V160 three-dose group and 543 in the placebo group) was 42·4% (95% CI -13·5 to 71·1). A total of 728 participants in the V160 three-dose group, 729 in the V160 two-dose group, and 732 in the placebo group were included in the safety analyses. The most common solicited injection-site adverse event was injection-site pain (680 [93%] in the V160 three-dose group, 659 [90%] in the V160 two-dose group, and 232 [32%] in the placebo group). The most common solicited systemic adverse event was fatigue (457 [63%] in the V160 three-dose group, 461 [63%] in the V160 two-dose group, and 357 [49%] in the placebo group). No vaccine-related serious adverse events or deaths were reported. V160 was generally well tolerated and immunogenic; however, three doses of the vaccine did not reduce the incidence of primary CMV infection in CMV-seronegative women compared with placebo. This study provides insights into the design of future CMV vaccine efficacy trials, particularly for the identification of CMV infection using molecular assays.

Social dominance orientation, intergroup contact and belief in traditional school culture as predictors for parents' attitudes to school segregation in the Czech Republic.

The over-representation of Roma children in segregated schools is well documented as a prevalent form of institutional racism in the Czech Republic. In the paper, we examine the inclination of parents to support school segregation. The paper looks at parents' preference for school segregation and explores its association to social dominance orientation, intergroup contacts, belief in traditional schooling and the absence of Roma children in school as proof of the school's good quality. The first hypothesis examines an association between parents' preference to withdraw their children from ethnically diverse schools and social dominance orientation (one's degree of preference for inequality among social groups). The second one tests the belief in traditional schooling as a factor contributing to a preference for ethnically motivated withdrawal. The third one studies the extent to which parents' preference to withdraw their children from ethnically diverse schools is affected by contact with Roma in their everyday life. The final hypothesis tests if parents who view Roma students as an indicator of poor education in a given school are more likely to oppose the presence of Roma students among their children's peers. Quantitative data collection was carried out on a sample of 1,803 respondents. The target group were families with at least one child of primary school age (6-14 years). A binary logistic regression analysis was implemented to assess these relationships. The study confirmed that ethnically motivated school withdrawal is associated with social dominance orientation, belief in traditional school culture and education. On the other hand, the role of inter-group contact in a school environment was not proved. However, the final statistical model was rather weak explaining approximately 9% of variance in segregation endorsement. The model fit improved significantly when an additional variable - absence of Roma as a sign of a good school - was added. Approximately 15% of the variance in segregation endorsement was explained by the modified set of predictors. The study argues that ethnically motivated school withdrawal is a result of individual attitudes and situational factors. This means that researchers interested in informal school segregation will need to consider both groups of factors.

Militarized Conflict, Trade, and Economic Development in a Structural Equation Model With Spatial Considerations

While conflict pervades virtually every aspect of society, there have been relatively few crossovers between Regional Science and Peace Science. This paper pays tribute to Walter Isard, pioneer of peace science research, and Kieran Donaghy, who has contributed to research on arms race dynamics and macroeconomic stability. We review studies that examine the impact of (i) trade on conflict, (ii) the economy on militarized disputes, and (iii) conflict on economic development. The analysis develops a structural equation model (SEM) to test the hypotheses simultaneously using the Correlates of War project data. Consistent with the liberal proposition, we found that the pacifying effect of trade is robust across alternative SEM specifications. Controlling for standard explanatory variables, the SEM estimates reveal that the indirect impact of economic development on conflict mediated by trade is statistically significant at the 0.1-percent level. Trade is, therefore, a critical intervening variable that transforms conflict-inducing economic expansion into a pacifying influence on militarized disputes. The spatial version of the SEM confirms that democracies do not attack each other. While trade does not appear to have a local spillover effect on conflict, proximity to neighboring democracies does lead to fewer conflicts. The final hypothesis argues that conflict affects national economic performance, which Donaghy refuted in his 1995 Conflict Management and Peace Science paper. Consistent with Donaghy’s finding, the estimates reject the claim that conflict disrupts economic stability. The conclusion section discusses the implications for Kieran Donaghy’s larger body of work.

Los verbos alemanes sufijados en -ier-: estudio basado en un corpus literario

"This paper deals with word formation and Applied Linguistics, as far as Corpus Linguistics is concerned. Features and functions of verbs with the suffix -ier will be traced in a literary corpus. An in-depth study of the following aspects is proposed: the origin and evolution of this suffix and its variants will be determined, the features and functions of this suffix will be described, based upon the available bibliography about word formation, and an analysis of the frequency of appearance and use of -ier within a corpus of five literary works from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries will be made. First of all, a theoretical framework is set up regarding the morphological, semantic and syntactic features of these types of verbs. Secondly, the empirical work will be carried out through a corpus analysis based on that theoretical framework. Finally, the frequency of appearance of such verbs in our corpus will be analysed. The final hypothesis will show that the functions and behavioural patterns of this type of verbs are diverse, but they do not differ very much from those described in the available literature."

A New Efficiency Improvement of Ensemble Learning for Heart Failure Classification by Least Error Boosting

Heart failure is a very common disease, often a silent threat. It's also costly to treat and detect. There is also a steadily higher incidence rate of the disease at present. Although researchers have developed classification algorithms. Cardiovascular disease data were used by various ensemble learning methods, but the classification efficiency was not high enough due to the cumulative error that can occur from any weak learner effect and the accuracy of the vote-predicted class label. The objective of this research is the development of a new algorithm that improves the efficiency of the classification of patients with heart failure. This paper proposes Least Error Boosting (LEBoosting), a new algorithm that improves adaboost.m1's performance for higher classification accuracy. The learning algorithm finds the lowest error among various weak learners to be used to identify the lowest possible errors to update distribution to create the best final hypothesis in classification. Our trial will use the heart failure clinical records dataset, which contains 13 features of cardiac patients. Performance metrics are measured through precision, recall, f-measure, accuracy, and the ROC curve. Results from the experiment found that the proposed method had high performance compared to naïve bayes, k-NN,and decision tree, and outperformed other ensembles including bagging, logitBoost, LPBoost, and adaboost.m1, with an accuracy of 98.89%, and classified the capabilities of patients who died accurately as well compared to decision tree and bagging, which were completely indistinguishable. The findings of this study found that LEBoosting was able to maximize error reductions in the weak learner's training process from any weak learner to maximize the effectiveness of cardiology classifiers and to provide theoretical guidance to develop a model for analysis and prediction of heart disease. The novelty of this research is to improve original ensemble learning by finding the weak learner with the lowest error in order to update the best distribution to the final hypothesis, which will give LEBoosting the highest classification efficiency.

Pandemic(s), Crisis, and Bibliotherapy

The Covid-19 crisis has led to a re-definition of our lives and a significant de-stabilization of our mental condition. Research shows that we tend to conceive of challenging realities in terms of war and battle: thus, we have struggled with depression, lower spirits and a lack of human interactions. If so, how can we counteract such depressive tendencies? Although today it seems both writing and reading are efficient in mitigating feelings of loneliness, historical records of the reactions to the Spanish influenza pandemic (1918) reveals that silence and evasion are also possible. Using the method of wide reading, I first examine the divergent responses to crisis. Through close reading, I then explore the manner in which literature may be therapeutic for both writers and readers. Finally, I argue that the literary choices of the reading public, recently re-directed towards auto/biographical fiction, may soon impact on the canon within education. This, in turn, prompts a final hypothesis concerning a generic re-shaping of a future literary canon.

Which lower limb joints compensate for destabilizing energy during walking in humans?

Current approaches to investigating stabilizing responses during locomotion lack measures that both directly relate to perturbation demands and are shared across different levels of description (i.e. joints and legs). Here, we investigated whether mechanical energy could serve as a 'common currency' during treadmill walking with transient unilateral belt accelerations. We hypothesized that by delivering perturbations in either early or late stance, we could elicit net negative or positive work, respectively, from the perturbed leg at the leg/treadmill interface, which would dictate the net demand at the overall leg level. We further hypothesized that of the lower limb joints, the ankle would best reflect changes in overall leg work. On average across all seven participants and 222 perturbations, we found early stance perturbations elicited no change in net work performed by the perturbed leg on the treadmill, but net positive work by the overall leg, which did not support our hypotheses. Conversely, late stance perturbations partially supported our hypotheses by eliciting positive work at the leg/treadmill interface, but no change in net work by the overall leg. In support of our final hypothesis, changes in perturbed ankle work, in addition to contralateral knee work, best reflected changes in overall leg work.

The effect of giving blood supplement tablets to adolescent girls on increasing haemoglobin levels in Cirebon District to prevent stunting and develop a quality generation in Cirebon District

<pre><strong><em>Background</em></strong><strong><em> : </em></strong><em>Several conditions that affect adolescent health, including adolescent reproductive health are nutritional problems. Nutritional problems that occur in adolescents include anemia and chronic lack of energy. Anemia is a decreasing quantity of red blood cells in the circulation or the amount of haemoglobin under normal limits.</em><em> The challenge of anemia in young women from 37.1% in Riskedas 2013 which actually increased to 48.9% in Riskesdas 2018, with the proportion of anemia in the age group 15-24 years and 25-34 years. These things clearly reinforce that adolescent health will determine the success of health development, especially in an effort to print the quality of the nation's next generation in the future. </em><em>Anemia among adolescents can be caused by a lack of macronutrient and micronutrient intake.
