Effect of low temperature stress on the growth and development of grafted pepino seedlings

Solanum muricatum (Pepino) is a solanaceous crop gaining popularity but susceptible to biotic and abiotic stress in cultivation. Grafting has been shown to improve the plant’s adaptability to adverse conditions. The results showed that the In terms of The grafted cantaloupe eggplant showed stronger resistance to low-temperature stress, the increase in relative conductivity of cantaloupe eggplant autografted seedlings was significantly higher than that of grafted seedlings, and both MDA contents were significantly lower than that of cantaloupe eggplant autografted seedlings, and the low-temperature tolerance of the grafted seedlings became more pronounced with the prolongation of the stress time.When assessing resistance to low-temperature stress, grafted pepinos showed enhanced tolerance compared to non-grafted cuttings, likely due to synergistic effects between scion and rootstock during the grafting process. These results suggest that grafting can significantly improve pepino’s low-temperature tolerance.

Value for money financial governance, level of investment, and quality of regional development in Indonesia

Introduction/Main objectives: This study aims to test the influence of the application of the concept of value for money on regional government financial management at the quality level of regional development, which is determined by the level of foreign and domestic investment in local governments. Background problems: State the problem or economic/business phenomena studied in this paper and specify the research question(s) in one sentence. Novelty: This study has a research model that has yet to be widely carried out in Indonesia, namely, a moderated model regression analysis of the value concept for money on the quality of regional development with investment as a moderating variable. Research methods: This study uses data on financial performance, domestic and foreign investment levels, and human development index of 34 provincial governments from 2017 to 2021. This research data comes from the website of the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance, Ministry of Finance and the Central Bureau of Statistics. The data collected in this study is then analyzed using moderated regression analysis (MRA) with the SPSS ver 23.0 application. Findings/Results: The findings in the research show that the application of value for money ( economics, efficiency, and effectiveness ) from local government financial governance can influence the quality of regional development in Indonesia’s provinces in 2017–2021. In addition, the existence of foreign and domestic investment in the provincial government also strengthens the influence of value-for-money financial governance on the quality level of regional development in the provincial government. Conclusion: Based on existing research, local government financial management applies the concept that value for money needs to be increased to create optimal public services to improve the quality of human development in the regions. Regional governments are also expected to be able to encourage the level of capital investment both domestically and abroad to support the creation of development that can strengthen the quality of regional development in the regions.

The role of government and community participation in realizing sustainable tourism development in Tihingan Village, Bali, Indonesia

Emphasis has been placed on the swift implementation of sustainable tourism development, particularly in rural areas. This is because of the government’s and local communities’ suboptimal involvement in sustainable tourism development. This study aimed to examine the role played by government and community participation in the development of sustainable tourism in Tihingan village, Bali. The quantitative research was designed by conducting observations, in-depth and structured interviews, and distributing questionnaires to people directly involved in tourism activities and with economic links in Tihingan Village, such as tourism village managers, homestays, restaurants, traders, and other tourism organizations. A total of 57 participants were included, and the sample was analyzed using purposive sampling. All the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with a probability of p < 0.05. The results indicate that government involvement (p = 0.007) and community participation (p ≤ 0.001) play significant roles in shaping sustainable tourism development (R² = 0.525). This finding implies that 52.5% of the variation in sustainable tourism can be attributed to these factors, while the other variables account for the remaining influence. Strategic policies related to natural resource development, environmental protection, and local community empowerment can create conditions that support the growth of environmentally friendly tourism and provide continued economic and social benefits in villages. Community participation is realized by supporting policies launched by local governments to accelerate sustainable tourism development. The outcomes of this research will aid the government in devising policies concerning sustainable tourism development through the active participation of the local community.

Environmental and energy indicators in Latin America and the Caribbean: An evaluation from multivariate techniques on sustainability

In the current context of concern about the environmental impacts of human activity, the focus on sustainable development and environmental impact assessment (EIA) has gained prominence. The Brundtland Commission highlights the importance of meeting present needs without compromising future ones, leading to international treaties and public policies to address the environmental crisis. Moreover, the Latin American and Caribbean Initiative for Sustainable Development (ILAC) seeks to promote sustainable development in key areas in Latin America and the Caribbean. Among them, energy efficiency and destination are crucial for sustainable use of energy resources and emission reduction. The aim of this article is to examine the evolution of variables and countries regarding installed capacity to produce electricity, renewable primary energy supply share, and fossil-fuel subsidies through Dynamic biplots and multivariate analyses. Trends in the increase of renewable energy production capacity are shown. In contrast, the correlation between the share of fossil fuel subsidies and the share of renewable primary energy supply presents a weak inverse relationship. Therefore, although progress has been made toward using cleaner energies and the consumption and subsidization of fossil fuels have decreased, some countries still depend significantly on non-renewable sources. It is concluded that even when environmental information presents challenges, analyzing indicators and conceptual models contributes to understanding environmental dynamics and progress toward sustainable development in the region, especially through creating and implementing public policies.

Developing a valid VR-based safety tool framework for hospitality TVET: A Fuzzy Delphi analysis with academic and industry experts

The research explores academia and industry experts’ viewpoints regarding the innovative progression of Virtual Reality (VR)-based safety tools customized for technical and vocational education training (TVET) within commercial kitchen contexts. Developing a VR-based safety tools holistic framework is crucial in identifying constructs to mitigate the risks prevalent in commercial kitchens, encompassing physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial hazards workers encounter. Introducing VR-based safety training represents a proactive strategy to bolster education and training standards, especially given the historically limited attention directed toward workers’ physical and mental well-being in this sector. This study pursues a primary objective: validating a framework for VR-based kitchen safety within TVET’s hospitality programs. In addition to on-site observations, the research conducted semi-structured interviews with 16 participants, including safety training coordinators, food service coordinators, and IT experts. Participants supplemented qualitative insights by completing a 7-Likert scale survey. Utilizing the Fuzzy Delphi technique, seven constructs were delineated. The validation process underscored three pivotal constructs essential for the VR safety framework’s development: VR kitchen design, interactive applications, and hazard identification. These findings significantly affect the hospitality industry’s safety standards and training methodologies within commercial kitchen environments.
