Authors: Kusufi Muhammad Syam
Published: December 2023

This study aims to investigate the relation between budget communication, final authority and negotiation on budget setting which analyzed by Agency Theory. This research used 2x3 between subject experimental design of budget communications and final authority treatments. The results of this study show that less slack is created when budget proposal requires a factual assertion, but it’s not when manager not requires factual assertion. Meanwhile, in final authority condition, manager creates budget slack more when they have final authority than owner’s authority. This study show an evidence that there is no significant interaction between budget communication and final authority in creating budget slack. Additionally, this study finds that negotiation can influence manager’s performance although it’s measured by budget slack or output of production. Negotiation can reduce budget slack. The performance test (which is measured by ability of manager to make product) show that as a whole is not have difference significantly. Meanwhile, for budget slack show that slack in No Factual Assertion treatment is higher than Factual Assertion treatment.

Keywords: Participative Budgeting, Budget Communication, Final Authority, Negotiation, Budget Slack, Manager’s Performance.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ПРОСТОРОВО-ЧАСОВОГО РОЗПОВСЮДЖЕННЯ БЕНТОСНОЇ МАКРОФАУНИ ПЛАТФОРМНОЇ УКРАЇНИ ПРОТЯГОМ ПІЗНЬОКРЕЙДОВОЇ ЕПОХИ
Authors: Якушин Леонід
Published: December 2023

Висвітлено особливості просторово-часового розповсюдження бентосної макрофауни (Bivalvia, Gastropoda, Brachiopoda, Echinodea) платформної України протягом пізньокрейдової епохи. Аналіз систематичного складу макрофосилій та їх таксономічної складової протягом пізньокрейдової епохи дозволяє констатувати тісний корелятивний зв’язок різноманіття її різних систематичних груп як в межах окремих регіонів платформної України, так і між спорідненими групами в межах більшої частини території дослідження. Максимальні значення систематичного різноманіття Bivalvia, Gastropoda, Brachiopoda, Echinodea спостерігаються у двох часових інтервалах: середній – початок пізнього сеноману, та пізній кампан – ранній маастрихт з чіткими корелятивними піками кількісних показників видів для всіх груп фауни протягом усієї епохи. Мінімальні значення систематичного різноманіття фіксуються протягом коньяка – раннього кампану. Чисельність, систематичне різноманіття, ареали існування основних бентосних груп макрофауни контролювалися, головним чином, типом субстрату, який залежав від характеру осадконакопичення. На початку пізньокрейдової епохи (ранній-середній сеноман) переважаючим було утворення силікатних порід, представлених пісками кварц-глауконітовими, галечниками та пісковиками, які сприяли утворенню твердого та пухкого субстратів. У туронський, коньякський, сантонський, кампанський та частково маастрихтський віки в осадконакопиченні суттєву роль відігравали процеси карбонатоутворення з накопиченням потужної товщі писальної крейди, вапняків та мергелів та формуванням мулистого та, частково, пухкого субстратів. На твердому субстраті, представленому піщанисто-гравійно-галечними та піщанисто-черепашково-детритовими відкладами, мешкало до 30% систематичного складу представників макрофауни. На пухкому субстраті, що складений піщанисто-вапнистими, піщанисто-мергельними, кременисто-піщанисто-карбонатними відкладами та моховатково-форамініферовими мулами, – до 65%, і лише близько п’яти відсотків – на мулистому субстраті, представленому форамініферово-пітонелово-коколітовими мулами. Закономірності латерального розповсюдження палеобіокомплексів відображено на картах територіального розподілу угруповань протягом пізньокрейдової епохи. З’ясування просторово-часових особливостей розповсюдження бентосних макрофауністичних комплексів платформної України протягом пізньокрейдової епохи є необхідною складовою частиною подальших біостратиграфічних побудов.

Published: December 2023

Природний камінь, з якого побудований Львів, містить численні залишки викопних організмів – урбаністичні фосилії, які для Львова виявлені і вивчені вперше. Натурні обстеження природного каменю і решток давніх організмів старої частини Львова виконано в численних точках спостереження. Загалом виявлено 67 урбаністичних фосилій. Наведено загальна характеристика, складено реєстр і палеонтологічний атлас урбаністичних фосилій Львова. Серед біофосилій визначено: одноклітинні форамініфери, нижчі рослин (скам’янілі колонії літотамнієвих водоростей), ксилоліти, безхребетні тварини – двостулкові молюски, брахіоподи, голкошкірі; серед іхнофосилій – сліди повзання. В стіновому природного камені Львова переважають рештки морських водоростей і двостулкових молюсків; залишки голкошкірих рідкісні, трапляються в тротуарному камені і бруківці. Львів є унікальним містом для розвитку міської палеонтології, пошуку урбаністичних фосилій та організації геологічного туризму. Ці напрями діяльності сприятимуть популяризації палеонтологічних знань, зростанню інтересу до історії життя на Землі, збереженню геологічної спадщини від руйнування та вандалізму. У стінах і бруківці Львова є цікаві природні об’єкти – міські фосилії, які за режиму обмеженої охорони і рекомендовані для міського геотуризму, наукової, освітньо-пізнавальної, культурно-естетичної діяльності. Вони зосереджені близько одне до одного, що дало змогу об’єднати їх для пізнання геологічного літопису території Львова і розробити нові підходи до туризму, які поєднують природу, історію та культуру.

Ekstrak etanol  daun umbi bit memiliki kandungan senyawa fenol dan flavonoid yang tinggi, sehingga dapat berpotensi sebagai antioksidan. Ekstrak etanol daun umbi bit memiliki kelemahan masih tercampur dengan komponen lain yang tidak diperlukan sehingga pengembangan sediaannya menjadi terbatas. Terkait hal tersebut, penelitian ini bermaksud untuk menghilangkan senyawa yang tidak dibutuhkan sebagai antioksidan, serta untuk melihat pengaruh purifikasi terhadap

aktivitas antioksidan dan kadar flavonoid total dalam ekstrak.

Ekstrak terpurifikasi diperoleh melalui fraksinasi suspensi ekstrak daun umbi bit dengan menggunakan pelarut yang berbeda polaritasnya secara berurutan yaitu n-heksana dan etil asetat. Uji aktivitas antioksidan dilakukan terhadap Ekstrak Etanol Daun Umbi Bit (EEDUB), Ekstrak Terpurifikasi Daun Umbi Bit (ETDUB) dan kuersetin sebagai kontrol positif. Aktivitas antioksidan dilakukan dengan menggunakan 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhyidrazil (DPPH). Kadar flavonoid total dari EEDUB dan ETDUB ditentukan dengan spektrofotometer menggunakan AlCl3.

Aktivitas antioksidan yang dihasilkan EEDUB adalah IC50 157,87 µg/mL, sedangkan ETDUB memiliki nilai IC50 129,60 µg/mL. Kadar flavonoid total dari EEDUB adalah 2,82% ± 0,85 QE, sedangkan kadar flavonoid total ETDUB adalah 2,90 ± 1,16 % QE. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa EETDUB memiliki kadar kandungan flavonoid dan aktivitas antioksidan yang lebih baik dibandingkan EEDUB. Hal ini juga menunjukkan proses purifikasi ekstrak pada daun umbi bit belum maksimal.

Published: December 2023

During the time of the pandemic in 2020, it is notable that the trend of plants flourished. However, at present, there is a decline in demand. The Municipality of Bay, Province of Laguna, is recognized as the "Garden Capital of Laguna," brimming with various plants. The local plant community represents the largest community in the Bay. Thus, the Local Government Unit of Bay acknowledges the necessity to empower and develop this plant community. This research aimed to establish a correlation between the status of e-commerce and the sustainable development of the plant community. The study utilized a descriptive research design and employed a self-made questionnaire to gather information and data from the entire population of respondents. The data collected from the survey were tallied and interpreted. The results revealed that ornamental plants significantly correlate with all the factors of sustainable development of plant communities. Furthermore, both home gardening and plant parenting showed a significant correlation with all the factors of sustainable development of plant community. Among the types of e-commerce, business-to-consumer (B2C) was the only one found to have a significant correlation with the factors of sustainable plant community development. Facebook exhibited greater significance concerning the factors of sustainable development of plant community compared to online selling websites/apps.
Unveiling Corporate Social Responsibility in Philippine Microfinance Institutions: A Proposed Assessment Guidelines and Enhancement Activities
Authors: Rivera Kevin M
Published: December 2023

While sustainable communities are at the forefront of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) objectives worldwide, a discernible inclination towards profit-seeking persists. This study presents an opportunity to refine MFIs' CSR-related activities and bolster community awareness of their unwavering commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Specifically, this research used proportional stratified random sampling for the employees and clients of ten microfinance institutions (MFIs) in the Philippines. However, due to the massive number of clients of MFIs, incidental sampling was considered and used in gathering data from the clients of the microfinance institutions. Employing descriptive design and t-test, the research unveils MFIs' primary focus on health programs, charitable works, youth and sports development, disaster and relief operations, and environmental sustainability. These compelling findings serve as a dependable foundation for the establishment of CSR assessment guidelines, empowering MFIs to propel community-driven sustainable development. Embracing targeted CSR efforts, MFIs can catalyze transformative change, nurturing resilient and thriving communities.

When we decided a few years ago to establish an online platform for the journal Erdkunde and ultimately to develop the journal into an open access journal, it was predictable that this decision would have an impact on subscriptions to the print edition. We have now reached the point where continuing the print edition no longer seems viable and have therefore decided to discontinue the print edition of Erdkunde and to continue the journal as a purely open access online journal starting with volume 78 (2024).
As of January 2024, Erdkunde has a new subtitle to better capture the content. The previous subtitle "Archive for Scientific Geography" occasionally led to ambiguities and misunderstandings and did not clearly indicate that the journal was intended as a platform for the whole spectrum of physical geography, human geography or their intersections.
We decided that the new subtitle of Erdkunde from January 2024 and onwards will be:

THE SICILIAN POPULATION IN 1277: NEW ESTIMATES
Authors: ruggeri giuseppe
Published: December 2023

A crucial element in the calculation of the Sicilian population prior to the periodic census enumerations (riveli) that began in 1505 is the tax rate on the revenue collected on a per household (fuoco) basis. There is no general agreement on which rate is the most appropriate for the estimation of the Sicilian population in 1277. For example, Bresc (1986) used a value of 6 tarì per household, Epstein (1992) applied 3 tarì, and Marrone (2002), who based his estimates on Peri (1978), employed a value of 2 tarì and 15 grani. The different values of the average tax rate affect both the level of the Sicilian population and its distribution among cities, towns, and villages. I suggest a reconciliation of these estimates based on a multi-rate tax structure based on the size of the revenue collected in each community. My estimates show a shift of the population from the Val di Mazara to the Val di Noto and a substantial increase in the population of the Valdemone.

Knowledge cues to human origins facilitate self-disclosure during interactions with chatbots
Authors: WARREN-SMITH GABRIELLA , Laban Guy , Pacheco Emily-Marie , Cross Emily S.
Published: December 2023

Chatbots are emerging as a self-management tool for supporting mental health, appearing across commercial and healthcare settings. Whilst chatbots are valued for their perceived lack of judgement, they lack the emotional intelligence and empathy to build trust and rapport with users. A resulting debate questions whether chatbots facilitate or hinder self-disclosure. This study presents a within-subjects experimental design investigating the parameters of self-disclosure in social interactions with chatbots in an open domain. Participants engaged in two short social interactions with two chatbots: one with the knowledge they were conversing with a chatbot and one with the false belief they were conversing with a human. A significant difference was found across both treatments, with participants disclosing more to the chatbot that was introduced as a human, as well as perceiving themselves to do so, perceiving this chatbot as more comforting, and to be demonstrating higher rates of agency and experience compared to the chatbot that was introduced as a chatbot. However, significant findings also indicated participants' disclosures to the chatbot that was introduced as a chatbot were more sentimental, and they found it to be friendlier compared to the chatbot that was introduced as a human. These results indicate that whilst cues to a chatbot’s human origins enhance self-disclosure and perceptions of mind, when the artificial agent is perceived against one’s social expectations, it may be viewed negatively on social factors that require higher cognitive processing.

Visual search is considered to be affected by search history, which is termed the Priming of Pop-out (PoP) effect. That is, information attended to in prior trial influences subsequent visual search, since the feature attended is retained as an internal search template in visual working memory (VWM) to guide further performance. Previous research has shown that display density modulates the PoP effect, with sparse displays exhibiting a more pronounced effect than dense displays. However, the precise stage (i.e., encoding or retrieval) within VWM that governs the impacts of PoP across different display densities remains unclear. To address this, we implemented a modified paradigm controlling display density during both the encoding (trial n-1) and retrieval (trial n) stages. Employing a detection task integrated eye movement recording, we observed that altering display density in the encoding stage had no impact on PoP. However, changes in density during the retrieval stage resulted in significant PoP variations. Our results uncover the successful encoding of target feature in both sparse and dense displays, yet it doesn’t direct attention. Additionally, retrieval is a critical stage in determining the impacts of display density on PoP. In this stage, retrieval of encoded information is necessary in sparse displays where the target fails to pop out, while in dense displays, it is unnecessary due to the high identification of the target. This study enhances our understanding of the distinct roles of encoding and retrieval stages in PoP and attention deployment during visual search.

The notion of malnutrition remains the world’s most serious health problem and the single biggest contributor to child mortality. Although food gardens are not specifically mentioned, they have the potential to provide support for malnourished and sick people including children and adults and potentially provide nutritional diversity to support complementary feeding. This study aims to examine the role of the school gardening Programme and its impact on malnutrition in South African rural communities. Data reveals that many children in the rural communities of South Africa suffer from malnutrition and they are experiencing several health consequences. Moreover, this is common among the children at most primary and secondary schools. Therefore, the lack of economic resources, and absence of information regarding nutrition, and inadequate breastfeeding increase the chances and number of malnourished children in rural communities. This is a conceptual or abstract paper whereby the authors relied merely on secondary data and government documents in writing and achieving the set goals and objectives. The study concludes that school gardening programs have the potential to play a fundamental role in addressing malnutrition in South African rural communities. By providing learners with access to fresh produce, nutrition education, and promoting environmental sustainability, these programs can have a positive impact on the health and well-being of students and their communities.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis implikasi jangka waktu pemeriksaan tindak pidana korupsi di tahap pemeriksaan di Pengadilan Negeri Tindak Pidana Korupsi sebagaimana terdapat dalam ketentuan pasal 29 Undang – Undang Nomor 46 Tahun 2009 Tentang Pengadilan Tindak Pidana Korupsi. Adapun substansi ketentuan tersebut mengatur mengenai jangka waktu pemeriksaan tindak pidana korupsi. Fokus penelitian ini adalah pada penerapan pemeriksaan yang dilakukan majelis hakim di Pengadilan Tindak Pidana Korupsi, untuk mengkaji pelaksanaan yang telah sesuai dengan jangka waktu pemeriksaan yang telah ditetapkan oleh Undang – Undang atau dalam pelaksanaannya masih terjadi ketidaksesuaian pelaksanaan acara pemeriksaan khususnya terkait batas aturan jangka waktu pemeriksaan sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang – Undang. Guna mendekati masalah ini, dilakukan penelitian hukum normatif dan dianalisis secara kualitatif. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa substansi pasal 29 Undang – Undang Nomor 46 Tahun 2009 tentang Pengadilan Tindak Pidana Korupsi sejatinya mengedepankan asas kepastian hukum terhadap proses pemeriksaan perkara tindak pidana korupsi, namun dalam penerapannya ketentuan ini berpotensi ke arah crime control model, sehingga diperlukan suatu rumusan yang tepat agar prinsip kepastian hukum dapat berjalan beriringan dengan prinsip due process of law dalam hukum acara pidana di Indonesia.

Waqf and Its Legal Framework in Sri Lanka: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Muhammed Buhary Muhammed Thabith  , Mohamad Nor Asiah
Published: December 2023

Waqf or religious endowment refers to an institution with the religious intention to do good acts for the benefit of the beneficiaries. However, the implementation and management of Waqf all around the world (Muslim and non-Muslim countries) have witnessed a deterioration since the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Many researchers and experts speak about the Waqf revival. In this relation, the Waqf institutions in Sri Lanka in particular, have gone through several reforms including the introduction of the ministry of Waqf. This paper examines the historical evolution as well as the status quo of Waqf governance in Sri Lanka. The study employs doctrinal analysis based on past literature as well as the laws governing Waqf. This study also explores the origin of the Waqf under Islamic law. It also discusses the application of the Waqf Act in Sri Lanka and identi es the current challenges and issues of the Waqf legal framework for the Muslim Mosques Charitable Trusts or Waqf Act (MMCTWA) in Sri Lanka. The findings reveal positive development in Waqf management, but overall awareness is necessary. The legal framework requires sustainable support and cooperation from the community, private sector, and the government.
A Framework of Good Governance in Regulating Religious Extremism in Malaysia

Published: December 2023

This paper presents a framework for regulating religious extremism based on principles of good governance. The first part provides a general study into the definitions of extremism and religious extremism. It asserts that religious sentiment can be utilised by terrorist organisations and radical movements to mobilise the masses. The paper further suggests that religious extremism is becoming a severe concern in Malaysia, which was for decades hailed as an oasis of moderate Islam. The second part of the paper analyses the factors contributing to the rise of religious extremism in Malaysia using a quali-quantitative method that incorporates survey data gathered in KL in 2019 by the authors, expert interviews, and secondary literature. It identifies two levels of factors, individual and socio-cultural/governance, that contribute to the spread of extremist understanding of religion. It suggests that human behaviour has become more receptive to violence and that the individual and collective understanding of religion has become more radical today due to personal grievances, social environment and global realities. Thus, the process of reducing extremism and radicalism in the Muslim world should encompass the individual, societal and transnational stratum. Extremism and radicalisation of societies are the manifestation of the absence of good governance. Thus, the last part of the paper highlights that adhering to good governance assists authorities in regulating societies’ immoderate behaviour by providing wellbeing, safety and happiness to the overwhelming majority of the population. It proposes a framework that can provide a moderate and authentic understanding of Islamic principles and serve as an instrument in creating an amicable and harmonious social and political environment in Malaysia. This framework can improve national security by promoting the basic principles of good governance such as transparency, participation, equality, justice, moderation and accountability, which are ingrained in the spirit of Islam.
The Issue of the Elderly Homeless in Kuala Lumpur City: Family Neglect of the Elderly
Authors: MD NOR NIK NORLIATI FITRI
Published: December 2023

Issues concerning elderly neglect and depression among the elderly have been often discussed. These issues include leaving the elderly alone after their children migrate to the city, sending elderly parents to welfare centres, leaving elderly parents in hospitals and disposing of parents without mercy. However, it is rare to read about senior citizens who choose to live as homeless after being dumped by their family members, which includes their spouses (husband/ wife), children or siblings. This qualitative study involved ten elderly homeless in Kuala Lumpur City who were subjected to in-depth interviews to determine the reason(s) why they choose to live as a homeless in Kuala Lumpur City. The main reason they became homeless was because they were dumped by their family members, especially their spouses (husband/ wife) and/or children. Although they had become homeless but deep in their hearts, they still expect their family members, especially their children, to take care of their welfare and let them stay with the family until the end of their lives. It is hoped that this study will help curb the increase of the elderly becoming homeless and ensure that they receive loving support from family members, especially their children.

The Authenticity of Theology in Scientific and Technological Thinking
Authors: Anshory Anhar , Ramli Ahmad Faizuddin , Awang Ramli
Published: December 2023

The deprivation of knowledge from the bond of true belief will destroy and ruin human life and nature. This has been demonstrated in the Western scientific and technological civilisations that dominate the world today. Western scientific civilisation today is the product of scientists who have no real faith in the Creator of the universe. Nevertheless, there are efforts among Western scientists who have awareness in this modern era, who began to take steps to restore the agenda of Science and Technology within the framework of religious beliefs. This literature-based study discovers many negative effects resulting from the absence of true theology in understanding Science and Technology, which is based on a secular understanding. Apart from that, this article also reveals the nature and appearance of Science and Technology that are firmly embroidered with natural theology leading to universal well-being.

Authors: Rahman Mohammad Moshiur , Haque Ahasanul , Suib Fatin Husna
Published: December 2023

COVID-19 triggered a crisis and sliced through every facet of humankind. People were advised to practise physical distancing, and most educational institutions have integrated different digital technologies and virtual learning environments (VLE) to limit the likelihood of pandemic pedagogy. This study sought to investigate the challenges of edutourism in Malaysia for sustaining viable education during this delicate time. Therefore, it examines the determinants of sustainable education, perceived value, risk assessment, quality service, and knowledge management in choosing institutions to resume edutourism. Based on a non-probability survey sample of 308 international students in Malaysia, the data were analysed with SPSS for fundamental analyses and SEM-AMOS for hypothesis testing. The results demonstrated that most predictors highly influenced the choice of the institution; thus, the government must acquire appropriate pedagogical knowledge to assure learning coherence. This study has presented a collection of influencing factors that impact how students adjust their objectives when choosing academic institutions in Malaysia.
Students’ Awareness and Participation in the Education for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Mulalic Almasa
Published: December 2023

This research explores the education for peace (EFP) in a multicultural and post-conflict state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The purpose of this study is to determine EFP awareness and participation among high school and college graduates. This research used the survey method to analyse students’ awareness and participation in the EFP in their high schools and colleges. The same method was used to analyse students’ perceptions of the EFP and the culture of peace among the students. The results indicated very low awareness and participation of students in the EFP. Regarding the student’s perception of EFP and the culture of peace among the students, the results indicated that there is insufficient implementation of EFP in high schools and colleges in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This indicates that with an introduction of the EFP in the schools, curricula, seminars, programmes, and textbooks the culture of peace would increase among the students, which is one of the main assumptions of this study. These findings led to our main recommendation that an introduction of EFP in high schools and colleges and active involvement of students through the learning process may lead to greater multicultural understanding within the culture of peace, tolerance, and understanding in Bosnian multicultural society.
