Laboratory and semi-field evaluation on OmniPrene™ G against Aedes, Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes
Authors: Su T. , Su H.
Published: December 2022

With the current existing, emerging, and resurging mosquito species and mosquito-borne diseases, and very low availability of mosquito control products, exploration of novel active ingredients and innovative formulations based on available active ingredients are crucial to ensure the sustainable mosquito control interventions. The larviciding by applying biorational mosquito larvicides with microbial and insect growth regulator origins is a routine practice in most areas. The current paper evaluated an innovated granular S-methoprene formulation, namely OmniPrene™ in the laboratory bioassays, as well as outdoor microcosms at 2.8, 5.6 and 11.2 kg/ha with 30.5 cm water depth, and at 2.8 kg/ha with shallow water (15.25 cm) against Aedes aegypti, Anopheles hermsi and Culex quinquefasciatus. Over 90% efficacy was achieved against Aedes and Anopheles for at least 49 days, and against Culex for up to 42 days at 2.8, 5.6 and 11.2 kg/ha when water depth was 30.5 cm. The control levels were further elevated when water depth was 15.25 cm, where over 90% control was observed for 63 days against Aedes and Anopheles, but 56 days against Culex. The high initial and residual efficacy were attributable to the unique diatomaceous earth carrier granules and proprietary binding process. With well documented bioactivity and safety of S-methoprene, demonstrated performance of the OmniPrene G, plus the unique feature of the formulation to render vegetation penetration, even coverage, and other advantages of dry granules, it would be reasonable to recommend this product as one of the routine larvicidal tools in a wide variety of habitats against mosquito species of public health importance while complying with the local regulations.

Published: December 2022

Students' anxiety is one of the hindrances to good academic achievement due to its adverse impact on cognitive attitudes. This study aimed to ascertain the impact of socio-economic profile and learning experiences that are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic concerning students' anxiety in learning statistics. The study used descriptive measures and econometric models to elucidate the anxiety level and its predictors of engineering students in a state university. Result reveals that the mean students' perception score for their anxiety level is 34.19 (SD=4.94) and is classified as "anxious". This implies that students are experiencing uncomfortable moments and distressing learning behavior due to the adverse impact of the pandemic on the educational system. The econometric model reveals that older and female students are more anxious about learning statistics online. Findings showed that the level of difficulty and less creativity in statistics lessons contributes to the anxiety level of students. In conclusion, instructors/professors must motivate their students and build their interest in learning statistics by giving them realistic and enjoyable activities that suit online education. Furthermore, instructors/professors must undergo training that develops and improves their teaching strategies in statistics to become competitive educators in online learning amid the pandemic.
Modeling Creativity and Enjoyment in Learning Statistics Online in the New Normal
Authors: Casinillo Leomarich F.
Published: December 2022

In any school, creative learning as an enjoyable experience for students signals effective cognitive thinking in the teaching-learning environment. This study targets to explain the level of how creative and enjoyable learning statistics and determine its cognitive factors among students amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The study exploited secondary data from an existing study and analyzed it using descriptive statistics and regression modeling. Results showed that learning statistics during the pandemic is “moderately" creative (M=6.07, SD=1.86) and "moderately" enjoyable (M=5.78, SD=1.98). Based on Pearson correlation and simple regression, if the level of creativity increases, it is more enjoyable to learn statistics online. The regression model reveals that internet signal, students using cell phones, and how rewarding learning statistics is as significant predictors of creativity. Additionally, for older students, how rewarding learning statistics, physical health, and lower statistics anxiety are the significant determinants of enjoyment level in learning statistics online. In that case, to maintain creativity and enjoyment in learning statistics amid the pandemic, it is suggested that teachers must encourage and show a positive attitude to the students to lower their anxiety levels. Furthermore, teachers must consider interesting and healthy learning activities to step up the creative ideas of students and enjoy learning despite the adverse effect of the pandemic.
Developing Livelihood Resilience through Adaptive Strategies and Government Interventions during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Study on the Small-Scale Fishermen in Tacloban City, Philippines
Authors: Siguan Andrew A.
Published: December 2022

With the onset of the pandemic, small-scale fishermen (SSF) in the country have become even more vulnerable to multiple adverse stressors. It is important to remember that fisher households have minimal assets, and their ability to mitigate the effects of crises and shocks is restricted. This study aims to enhance our understanding of livelihoods by using the idea of resilience as an analytical tool in examining the different aspects of fisherfolks' adaptive systems during the pandemic and the role of the government in bolstering their livelihood resiliency. This qualitative study utilized a multimethod case study design, and for the data analysis, I utilized Clarke and Braun's six phases of thematic analysis. Four major themes were uncovered in the study: assets and livelihood resiliency; livelihood challenges and stressors in the pandemic; SSF with adaptive strategies vs. without adaptive strategies; and Government's role in SSF livelihood resiliency. The study produced findings on resiliency and adaptive strategies pertaining to livelihoods in the context of a pandemic. The study found that SSF who diversified during the pandemic were more robust in their livelihood than SSF who did not have any adaptation techniques applied during the pandemic.

Authors: Gabayoyo Lunel J. , Madrigal Dennis V.
Published: December 2022

The performance of a judge in the disposition of cases may be affected because of occupational stress. It may be both psychological and physical stress. This phenomenological study explored the work stress, stressors, and coping mechanisms of judges in Central Philippines. Participants were identified using a purposive sampling technique. Ten (10) female judges of the first-level courts answered using an unstructured interview. Six themes emerged from this study: deadlines in deciding cases, struggling with compliance with the reglementary period, balancing work and family life challenges, dealing with courtroom challenges during the pandemic, handling lawyers in the courtroom, handling various roles, and engaging in positive stress management activities. Hence, the multifaceted roles of judges in their work challenge them to dispense justice fairly. The prevalence of burnout and stress experienced by judges must be addressed.

Published: December 2022

The Drug Abuse Screening Test-20 was translated and established validation properties to make it a sound assessment tool. A cross-sectional study with a descriptive design was planned which involved survey methods conducted at Riphah International University, Faisalabad. Four experts from the psychology field and literature were approached for the forward and backward translation process. The responses on original and translated versions were collected from adults aged between 19 to 60 years from public and private drug abuse treatment units in Faisalabad through a convenient sampling approach. The reliability and validity features of the scale were assessed using confirmatory factor analysis. SPSS 23 and AMOS 23 software were used for statistical analyses. The Urdu DAST was shown to have a highly substantial positive association between each item and the item-total correlation, making it an internally consistent measure of drug abuse. Internal consistency reliability was also found significant. Moreover, results from confirmatory factor analysis revealed good and acceptable model fit and retained one-factor structure similar to the original version. The findings held high-reliability coefficients for forward and backward translation of the scale and maintained the universality of the DAST Urdu version. Scholars, psychologists, family consultants, and mental health and sociological professionals who desire to examine the emotive, perceptual, and behavioral components of DAST in the Pakistani population will find the DAST Urdu version useful.

Published: December 2022

Low back pain is a condition that disturbs a person's comfort due to pain that arises between the fifth lumbar and first sacral vertebrae (L5 – S1). LBP complaints are the main cause of loss of productive years due to disability due to illness and injury in DKI Jakarta in 2017. Risk factors for LBP are age, gender, obesity, work factors (lifting heavy loads and non-ergonomic posture), exercise habits, and past medical history. This paper discusses the profile of LBP patients at the Neurology Polyclinic of UKI General Hospital from January 2019 – December 2020. This study used a descriptive method with a cross-sectional retrospective study design. Data were obtained by collecting and analyzing the medical records of patients at the Neurology Polyclinic of UKI General Hospital who came for treatment with a major complaint of LBP. The number of research samples was determined using the total sampling method. Out of 101 LBP patients who came for treatment at the UKI General Hospital neurology polyclinic in January 2019 - December 2002, only 83 patients had complete medical records, so the sample in this study was 83. Most analyses of results based on age, sex, occupation, BMI, type of LBP, duration of LBP, past medical history, most common diagnosis, and treatment obtained by patients, namely: age group >65 years of 27 people (32.5%), sex 55 women (66.3%), 36 housewives (43.4%), BMI category 25 – 29.9 or obesity I 29 people (34.9%), radicular pain type 49 people (59.0%), LBP 45 people (54.2%) had an acute illness, 51 people (61.4%) had no previous history of the disease, 30 people (36.1%) Lumbar HNP, and conservative management in the form of medication and physiotherapy 81 people (97.6%).

Published: December 2022

Sensitive vegetables grown in heavy metals polluted soils tend to accumulate heavy metals which are harmful to the human body even at low concentrations. In this study, the bioconcentration factor (Transfer Factor) was used to assess the accumulation of some heavy metals in Talinum triangulare grown in the vicinity of an automobile workshop in Oluku, Benin City. Physical and chemical parameters found to affect the interactions and mobility of heavy metals in the soil mass were also examined. A pH of 6.17±0.2 was obtained for the topsoil while the middle and bottom soil samples were 5.93±0.4 and 6.00±0.1 respectively, The values of CEC obtained for top, middle, and bottom soil samples were 5.58±0.54, 4.56±0.11, and 3.65±0.14 meq/100g respectively. Soil samples were randomly collected from three depths of 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, and 20-30 cm with the aid of a soil auger; and T. triangulare were collected within the soil sampling locations. The concentrations of heavy metal were evaluated through the use of atomic absorption spectrophotometer after the samples were subjected to tri-acid digestion techniques. Particle size analysis showed that the soil is a sandy loam texture. High Transfer factor values were ascertained for some metals but none was greater than one. Therefore T. triangulare cannot be considered a hyperaccumulator of heavy metals investigated in this study. However, all metals found in T. triangulare were highly significant (p<0.05), and higher than the permissible limits recommended by FAO/WHO/EC/CODEX. Consumption of T. triangulare harvested from the vicinity of automobile workshops should be highly discouraged to avoid public health hazards.
Construction of Religious Minority Groups in Bollywood Cinema: A Historic & Critical Thematic Analysis
Authors: Imtiaz Hussain  , Shahzad Ali
Published: December 2022

This article deals with the dominant themes that emerged in the Bollywood Cinema about religious minority groups Like Muslims, Christian, and Sikhs. The research utilized the structure provided by the Clerk and Brown 2006 in terms of thematic Analysis. Thirty movies were selected through purposive and random sampling. Ten movies were represented by each minority Group. The dominant themes found with regard to the Muslim community in Bollywood movies were Islamic terrorism, Islamophobia, economic, education backwardness, and Muslim identity, Sikh dominant themes were found as Comedian, Sikh Identity, Brave, and truthful. Similarly, Christian themes were Westernized, Christian Identity, erotic, and Prostitute. Based on Historic and the critical thematic analysis as well as theoretical grounds of Hall’s representation, Said's Concept of Orientalism, and Noam Chomsky’s propaganda model concept, the research clearly indicated that the Bollywood Cinema blurred the identity of religious minority groups and decorated them as others, for example, it distorts the religious concepts, promotes Islam phobia and connecting Islam with the terrorism, in terms to Muslims treated as brutal, extremist, shelter provider, the danger for the state, etc and Sikh as a painted comedian, drinkers and their culture in merged with the Hindus rituals as well as Christian minority female painted erotic object, westernized and Hypersexual. The research clarifies that the Bollywood cinema articulates the content of the movies under the umbrella of the elite political mindset.

Published: December 2022

Introduction. The Cauca region, in Colombia, has a high incidence of gastric cancer and there are few studies describing tumor microenvironment in gastric cancer samples obtained from this geographic region.
Aim. The aim of this study was to describe the infiltration of CD3+, CD8+ T cells, the expression of programmed death-1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), and Epstein-Barr virus infection in biopsies from Cauca patients with advanced intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma.
Methodology. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study of 24 gastrectomy samples out of 48 samples analyzed. Expression of CD3, CD8, PD-1, and PD-L1 was analyzed using immunohistochemistry, and infection by Epstein-Barr virus was analyzed by Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA in-situ hybridization (EBER-ISH) in gastric tissue samples on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded. Finally, the immunoscore and the Combined Positive Score were calculated.
Results. ITGA samples were 21.8% ± 13.6% and 14.8% ± 14.8% CD3 + and CD8 + positive respectively, 100% had low PD-1 expression, CPS score for PDL-1, 91.7% had <1 and 8.3% had >1. In EBER-ISH, 20.8% were positive, and in immunoscore, 16.7% had a score > 25%.
Conclusion. This paper reports advanced ITGA cases with an atypical tumor microenvironment, compared to previously reported data. It is important to consider that the tumor microenvironment in gastric cancer is heterogeneous, which makes the analysis of microsatellite instability in this type of sample relevant.

Published: December 2022

Introducción. La malnutrición es una entidad frecuente en pacientes con cirrosis hepática y tiene un impacto negativo en la mortalidad.
Objetivo. Describir la prevalencia de malnutrición mediante valoración global subjetiva y antropometría en pacientes con cirrosis hepática, y analizar su relación con la severidad y etiología de la enfermedad. Métodos. Se incluyeron pacientes > 18 años con cirrosis hepática, ambulatorios o internados, de forma consecutiva entre mayo de 2016 y abril de 2019, a quienes se les realizó una evaluación nutricional que incluyó valoración global subjetiva y antropometría. Se midió la fuerza muscular por dinamometría. Se registraron los scores de severidad de Child Pugh y MELD. Para comparar proporciones, se utilizó test de Chi cuadrado o prueba exacta de Fisher, variables numéricas y prueba de Mann-Whitney. El nivel de significación estadística fue de p < 0,05.
Resultados. Se analizaron 436 pacientes (50,2% mujeres), edad 59,6 ± 13 años, CP A 69,3%, B 22,2% y C 8,5%; MELD ≥ 15 puntos 12,8%. El 46,3% presentó VGS y antropometría normales. La concordancia absoluta entre valoración global subjetiva y antropometría fue de 59,2% (kappa = 0,25). Presentaron algún grado de malnutrición el 49,5% por valoración global subjetiva y el 26,1% por antropometría. Presentaron malnutrición por valoración global subjetiva el 36,1%, 77,3%, 86,5% en CP A, B y C, respectivamente, mientras que, por antropometría, presentaron esta condición el 20,5% de aquellos con CP A, el 33% con CP B y el 54% con CP C. También se observó una asociación significativa según score MELD por antropometría y valoración global subjetiva (p < 0,0001). Los pacientes con etiología alcohólica presentaron un mayor grado de malnutrición.
Conclusión. La malnutrición es común en pacientes con cirrosis hepática, con una alta prevalencia en pacientes compensados. La concordancia entre valoración global subjetiva y antropometría fue baja, por lo que sería conveniente el uso de herramientas con valoraciones subjetivas y objetivas. La detección temprana de malnutrición permitiría una intervención precoz.

Health care should move from its current reactive and disease-centric system to a personalized, predictive, preventative, and participatory model with a focus on disease prevention and health promotion.[1] As the world marches into the era of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G wireless, technology renovation enables the industry to offer a more individually tailored approach to healthcare with better health outcomes, higher quality, and lower cost.[2] However, empowering the utility of IoT-enabled technologies for personalized health care is still significantly challenged by the shortage of cost-effective on-body biomedical devices to continuously provide real-time, patient-generated health data.[3,4] Textiles have been concomitant and played a vital role in the long history of human civilization. Merging biomedical devices and textiles becomes increasingly important owing to the growing trend of IoT since it could serve as on-body healthcare platforms with incomparable wearing comfort. In this talk, I will introduce our current research on smart textiles for biomonitoring, [5-8] therapeutics,[9] power supply,[10,11] and textiles body area network for personalized health care[12-14].

Authors: Jeetah Roubeena , Rampadaruth Ved Greedharry
Published: December 2022

This paper aimed at examining the impact of threat of professional obsolescence, updating as play or work, perceived work overload, work exhaustion, affective commitment, on turnover and turnaway intentions of IT professionals in Mauritius. A quantitative, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 158 IT professionals. Contrary to previous studies, perceived work overload was negatively related to work exhaustion and updating as work was not related to turnover intentions, but was positively correlated to turnaway intentions. While 80.5% of survey participants felt they worked more at home during the COVID-19 lockdown, 62.3% were able to spend more time with their family and would work mostly from home if possible. The affective commitment of professionals towards their organization and the IT profession reduced their turnover and turnaway intentions, respectively. By rewarding their affective commitment and implementing adequate work from home strategies, the retention of IT professionals could be positively enhanced.
The COVID Care Economy Collapse
Authors: Khederlarian Kristina
Published: December 2022

Covid19 has created a care economy collapse. As a result of the pandemic, salary incentive programs have been created to encourage Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) to participate in Covid related programs. Many of these programs pay significantly more than the typical salary for LVNs working in home care. As a result, there has become a storage of available LVNs to work with vulnerable populations that need in-home care. Diving into the reasons for the shortage, this study also points to a secondary cause in a salary analysis within Los Angeles County. Results indicate that the average salary LVN salary in LA County is unsustainable for a single parent home. Research has previously shown that keeping people with disabilities in the home results in better outcomes than institutional placement. We will examine what can be done to address the shortage of at home LVN support before there is forced institutionalization.

Günümüzde dünya nüfusunun artmasıyla beraber hayvansal gıdalara talep artmaktadır. Bu artan talebin karşılanabilmesi için hayvanlardan elde edilen verimi arttırmaya yönelik araştırmalar halen yapılmaya devam etmektedir. Hayvanlardan elde edilen verimler hem genetik hem de çevre faktörlerinin etkisi ile ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu iki faktörden herhangi biri eksik olduğunda hayvanlardan istediğimiz düzeyde verim elde edemeyiz. Hayvansal gıda üretimi sektörü için önemli bir paya sahip olan süt inekçiliğinde de uygun çevre şartlarının sağlanması, hayvanların sahip olduğu genetik potansiyeli maksimum seviyede fenotipte yansıtmasına yardımcı olur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, serbest duraklı süt sığırı işletmelerinde ahır konforu ile hayvan davranışı-verim ilişkisinin işletme ekonomik sürdürülebilirliğine etkisini inceleyen bazı araştırmaları ve değerlendirmeleri derlemektir. Barınaklarda uygulanan konfor ölçümleri barınaklardaki konfor düzeyini ve konforu bozan unsurları tespit etmemize yardımcı olur. Böylece konforu bozan unsurları yeniden gözden geçirip hayvanlar için uygun hale getirerek konfor düzeyini yükseltebiliriz. Kısaca; konfor geliştikçe hayvan refahının arttığı, ineklerde verim artışı ile işletmelerin karlılığının arttığı söylenebilir.

Authors: GÜNER Barış , KARAKAYA BİLEN Ebru
Published: December 2022

The aim of this study was to compare the ovulatory response and reproductive performance after Ovsynch protocol in noncyclic dairy cows during the warm (n = 43) and cool seasons (n = 70). Noncyclic cows (n=113) received Ovsynch protocol; GnRH1 (d 0); PGF2α (d 7); GnRH2 (d 9); FTAI (d 10). Ultrasonographic examinations were performed to determine the preovulatory follicle size (d 0, d 10) and ovulatory response to the GnRH1 (d 7) and GnRH2 (d 17). Follicle size at the onset of Ovsynch was not different in cool season (20.8 ± 0.9 mm) compared to that in warm season (19.1 ± 1.1 mm, P > 0.05). The percentage of small-sized follicles at the onset of Ovsynch was higher (P < 0.05) in warm season (37.2%) than cool season (18.6%). However, follicle size at FTAI was similar (P > 0.05) between warm (15.3 ± 0.3 mm) and cool (15.8 ± 0.3) seasons. Ovulatory response to the GnRH1 and the GnRH2 of Ovsynch were not different during the warm (90.7%, 83.7%) and cool seasons (81.4%, 87.1%), respectively (P > 0.05). Pregnancy rate was also similar (P > 0.05) during the warm (34.9%) and cool seasons (35.7%). Cows that had large-sized follicles at the onset of Ovsynch had a tendency (P = 0.08) for lower pregnancy rate in warm season (12.5%) compared to cool season (52.6%). It was concluded that season did not affect the ovulatory response to the first GnRH and pregnancy rate in noncyclic dairy cows that were synchronized with Ovsynch.

In this case report, it is aimed to present unilateral uterine torsion in a 7-year-old Shorthair Scottish queen. The queen, which had full-term pregnancy, was brought to the Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University Veterinary Faculty Teaching hospital with complaints of stagnation, vomiting and hypothermia. In the ultrasonography examination, 3 kittens without a heartbeat were detected. After the abdominal incision made in the queen for whom emergency cesarean section was decided, a 1080o counterclockwise torsion was noticed on the caudal side of the cervix uterine in the left uterine horn of the queen. It was observed that the left uterine horn was cyanotic due to torsion-related ischemia. For this reason, it was decided to perform N-block ovariohysterectomy instead of cesarean section. As a result, it was concluded that the presented case report of unilateral uterine torsion, which is rare in cats, will make useful contributions to veterinarians and students in the field.

Authors: Da Silva Carla Caroline Amaral , Costa Dora dos Santos , Direito Ida Carolina Neves , Victório Cristiane Pimentel
Published: December 2022

This study aimed to evaluate the development of Canavalia ensiformis seedlings under high concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in different substrates. In the first analysis, seeds from different origins were disinfected and introduced into a modified Leonard vessel (PET vessel) containing washed sand or washed sand plus vermiculite substrates and under high concentrations of 2,4-D (0 - control, 250 and 500 mg/L). For a second analysis, seed germination, callogenesis and contamination in different concentrations of 2,4-D (0 - control, 20, 40, 250 and 500 mg/L) were evaluated with sterile sand as substrate. Results showed that higher concentrations of 2,4-D could induce larger areas of callus formation. At a concentration of 40 mg/L of 2,4-D, germination in riparian forest substrates washed sand resulted in root growth and callus formation without contamination. Although C. ensiformis seeds showed tolerance to regions with high concentrations of 2,4-D, they do not demonstrate phytoremediation capacity for this herbicide since it caused damage to the plant’s initial development.

Objetivou-se conhecer o processo de adoecimento que levou a necessidade de uma estomia de eliminação intestinal na mulher e as mudanças no viver após a cirurgia. Pesquisa descritiva, exploratória de cunho qualitativo. Participaram 20 mulheres estomizadas atendidas em um Serviço de Estomaterapia de um Hospital Universitário do sul do Brasil. Os dados foram coletados no primeiro semestre de 2022 por entrevistas semiestruturadas e submetidos à Análise de Conteúdo. Os aspectos éticos foram seguidos. Verificou-se um processo de adoecimento sofrido e longo marcado por sintomas, consultas e exames. A mudança corporal faz com que evitem alguns ambientes, modifiquem roupas e o modo como se alimentam. O medo de vazamentos altera suas rotinas. Evitam praias, piscinas e ambientes que possam causar o descolamento da bolsa. Ocorre falta de disposição e perda do dinamismo para as atividades cotidianas. Concluiu-se que o processo de adoecimento que leva à necessidade da estomização da mulher é complexo impondo-lhes profundas mudanças no seu processo de viver. É importante o papel da enfermeira, realizando ações de apoio durante todo esse processo.

Authors: Araújo Vanda Almeida da Cunha , Leal Débora Araújo
Published: December 2022

A Educação no campo nos remete a uma reflexão sobre os problemas estruturais que produzem as diversas desigualdades que a educação brasileira apresenta e até reproduz. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica, onde possibilitou um olhar para o povo da zona rural, com a opinião de diversos autores, teorias e a responsabilidade principal do Estado como garantidor dos direitos sociais. Dessa maneira, foi mostrado que a falta de recurso do Estado na Educação do campo possibilitou que o número de analfabetos no Brasil aumentasse, a baixa renda da família e a falta de emprego. A necessidade do sistema educativo para o povo do campo é de extrema importância, o direito a educação é garantido a todos os brasileiros, independentemente de cor, raça, classe social, religião e gênero.  Diante disso, o Estado tem a obrigação de incluir nos currículos brasileiros de educação, a Educação Rural para o povo rural e proporcionar recurso para inclusão de escolas nas zonas rurais com merenda de qualidade, professores qualificados e instrutura adequada.

High economic growth necessitates a large amount of financial capital. The banking sector frequently fails to provide financial assistance to the lower middle class. The Mawar Emas program was created to increase financial inclusion as well as to provide financial assistance to mosque-based small communities. After more than two years, it appears that many mosques and their beneficiaries have already reaped tangible benefits. As a result, the people of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) are very interested in participating in this program. As a result, it's worth investigating the factors that pique customers' interest in the Mawar Emas program. Interviews were conducted with a variety of parties, including aid providers, managers, and beneficiaries, to conduct a qualitative analysis. In addition, the author obtained several program-related supporting documents. As a result, several factors influence people's interest, including intensive marketing, a lack of interest and guarantees, and training and guidance provided by the Islamic Economic Community (MES).
