Assessing Leadership Efficacy Of Department Heads: A Study Of Faculty Perceptions At Two Historically Black Colleges And Universities In The Southeastern United States, Demissie L. Karorsa, Monica E. Allen
Journal of Research Initiatives
Transformational leadership (TL) is a leadership approach that inspires followers and encourages their effective engagement to contribute adequately to organizational goal achievement. By inspiring followers to pursue and attain exceptional performance levels, TL accrues high follower satisfaction in their jobs and with their organizations (Asencio, 2016; Banks et al., 2016; Barnett, 2017; Bass & Riggio, 2006). This study examined faculty perceptions/ratings of transformational leadership behaviors of their department chairs at two Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the southeastern United States.
A thorough examination of the data collected revealed that the faculty rated idealized attributes (IA) the highest (x̄=2.80, …

Journal of Bioresource Management
Salinity is one of the major issues that drastically reduce wheat production. In a hydroponic investigation, vermitea was employed to evaluate the impact of salinity on wheat. The vermitea is a by-product of the vermicomposting process that has both macro- and micronutrients. When these plants reached full maturity, they were harvested. The evaluation was based on their morphological characteristics, such as root/shoot dry weight, root/shoot ratio, plant height, root/shoot length, number of spikelets per spikelet, spike length, number of grains per spikelet, and biological yield per plant. The leaves relative water contents and other biochemical parameters including K+, Na+, chlorophyll …

PURPOSE: Recent research has highlighted the mechanotransducer PIEZO2 as a crucial factor in lower urinary tract function, demonstrating associations with bladder compliance (BC), bladder wall thickening, and elevated bladder pressure. We explored the hypothesis that PIEZO2 expression may be associated with lower urinary tract dysfunction in men with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
METHODS: The study included a consecutive series of patients undergoing open prostatectomy for BPH at our hospital between September 2014 and January 2016. All participants underwent comprehensive preoperative evaluations, including urodynamic assessments. During prostatectomy, a full-thickness fragment of the bladder wall was …

Journal of Bioresource Management
Herbivore's attack stimulates chemical production in the plants; that communicates with natural enemies (chemical communication) and urges them for help (i.e. cry-for-help phenomenon). Such chemicals play an important role to attract the parasitoids and increase the chances of host pests' encounter. Current studies were performed to observe the extracts' efficacy in order to attract the parasitoid (i.e. Diadegma insulare) and thereby increase the likelihood of encounter with the host pest (i.e. Plutella xylostella). Cruciferous cultivars' extracts were developed and applied with artificial release of parasitoids under semi-field conditions. Findings revealed that extracts had the potential to enhance the …

Contextualizing The Sdgs In The Anthropocene: Case Study Of Mekong Women’S Adaptation To Hydropower Dams In Northern Thailand, Maya Dania
Asia-Pacific Social Science Review
Large dams are among the most massive infrastructures built in the Mekong River and provide water-energy generators in the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB). Nevertheless, the Mekong River’s current transformation using electricity utilizing hydropower technology has damaged the local ecosystem in the LMB with social and environmental effects. Drawing upon feminist posthumanism, this study argues that the ongoing hydropower dam constructions in the LMB reflect uneven development and exclusion for women and the more-than-human nature of Mekong biodiversity. With a case study of Mekong women’s adaptation to regional development projects, this study aims to contextualize SDGs in the global crisis of …

The process of improving the strength of granular soil by utilising microorganisms is known as the biocementation process. This method involves the precipitation of calcium carbonate into the soil matrix structure through microbial calcite precipitation, resulting in the cementation of soil particles and subsequent improvement in strength and reduced permeability. This study investigated the potential of using Sporosarcina pasteurii, a microorganism strain with urease activity, to stabilise residual soil through urea hydrolysis. The cementation reagents used consisted of urea and calcium chloride at various concentrations ranging from 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 to 1.5 M. These concentrations were varied to …

Despite the widespread use of cannabis and the prevalence of cannabis use disorder (CUD) in Ohio, information was limited on the effectiveness of medical marijuana and CUD treatment success, particularly within specific populations and counties. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the prevalence of CUD among adults from rural communities who had received medical marijuana cards for chronic conditions. The study examined the demographic factors of age, gender, and education level as independent variables influencing the development of CUD in this population. The biopsychosocial theory model provided the framework for the study. Data was collected through structured …

Objectives: Vasculopathy emerges early in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and links to endothelial cell (EC) injury and angiogenesis. Understanding EC transcriptomes and epigenomes is crucial for unravelling the mechanisms involved.
Methods: Transcriptomes and chromatin accessibility were assessed by single-cell RNA sequencing and single-nucleus transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing. Immunofluorescent staining of skin and proteomics assay were employed to confirm the altered SSc EC phenotypes. Gain-of-function assay was used to evaluate the effects of ETS transcription factors on human dermal ECs (hDECs).
Results: Both control and SSc ECs shared transcriptomic signatures of vascular linages (arterial, capillary and venous ECs) and lymphatic ECs. Arterial ECs …

Declines in pollinating insects have been linked to changes in land cover, affecting the availability of nesting sites and floral resources. Our study is the first analysis of changes in pollen load composition of 2 mining bees, Andrena barbilabris (Kirby) and Andrena flavipes (Panzer) (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae), at the same sites in central England, over 75 years. This provides a unique opportunity to remove spatial variation and review temporal changes in pollen diet within the context of landscape change. We analyzed modern-day pollen load composition for these species and compared it with historical data from the same sites. We then examined …
Co-Existence With Forest Fires: Linking Forest Fires Management To Education For Sustainable Development Goals From Slash And Burn Practice In Kyushu Region, Japan, Reni Juwitasari
Asia-Pacific Social Science Review
Forest fires are often attributed to human activity, particularly slash-and-burn practices, as well as climate change, which influences the frequency and severity of fires and has detrimental effects on both humans and the environment. In Japan, the practice known as yakitaha has seen a substantial decline in most areas of the nation after the Second World War, with the exception of the mountainous region of Kyushu. A case study conducted on Itsuki-mura in Kumamoto Prefecture and Shiiba-mura in Miyazaki Prefecture has attracted attention because the preservation and claim of this practice contribute to the potential achievement of Sustainable Development Goals …

Egypt is famous for its fish wealth, given its large coasts and freshwater resources, especially of Nile Tilapia and Mugilid fish. It was estimated that domestic fish production increased from 889 thousand tonnes in 2005 to 1620 thousand tonnes in 2016. Thousands of tonnes of fish are consumed yearly, generating substantial amounts of fish waste and residues. Some 26% of the fish consumed is a typical waste. Fish wastes have a significant role in many processes and applications. They are used as feedstock for producing fish meals, a major by-product of fish waste oil. Fish oil is extracted for medical …
