Kecamatan Ngadiluwih merupakan salah satu daerah penerima Program 1000 Desa Sapi potong, dimana terdapat lima kelompok ternak penerima program. Selama menjalankan usaha, peternak belum pernah menghitung nilai ekonomi usaha yang dilakukan. Disisi lain, peternak membutuhkan informasi apakah usaha yang dijalankan saat ini menguntungkan atau rugi karena modal dan sumber pembiayaan terbatas. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis biaya dan manfaat dari aspek ekonomi dan merumuskan strategi usaha ternak penerima program 1000 desa sapi potong. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada tahun 2023 dengan menggunakan metoda wawancara yang dilakukan kepada lima pengelola kelompok peternak yang menjadi penerima program serta penanggung jawab program dari Dinas Ketahanan Pangan dan Pertanian (DKPP) Kabupaten Kediri. Data primer dan data sekunder dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif, analisis cashflow dan analisis SWOT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, pada skenario I nilai NPV sebesar Rp14,230,336,015, Net B/C sebesar 4.266, IRR sebesar 33% dan Payback Period selama 9 tahun 10 bulan 23 hari. Adapun pada skenario II memiliki hasil NPV sebesar Rp24,835,126,149, Net B/C sebesar 9.380, IRR sebesar 49% dan Payback Period > 9 tahun. secara ekonomi usaha sapi potong melalui program 1000 desa sapi potong layak dilanjutkan karena nilai B/C >1. Analisis SWOT berada pada kuadran V (hold and maintain), sehingga strategi yang tepat untuk dilakukan adalah strategi pemasaran produk dan penetrasi pasar.
Kecamatan Ngadiluwih is one of the recipient areas of the 1000 Cow Villages Program. There are five livestock groups receiving the program that have not fully carried out routine administrative records, especially financial records, so that farmers still do not feel or estimate whether the business they are running can generate profits. This research aims to analyze the feasibility of programs and sustainability strategies for livestock businesses receiving the 1000 Cow Villages Program in Kecamatan Ngadiluwih. The descriptive method is used to analyze the feasibility of using CBA for livestock businesses, while the SWOT analysis is to determine sustainability strategies in Kecamatan Ngadiluwih. The research results show that the results of the financial feasibility analysis show that the beef cattle business is feasible to run, and the right strategy to carry out is product marketing strategy and market penetration.
Geospatial Analysis of Elephant Migration from Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe, 2009-2017
Authors: Wickramasooriya Ashvin , Prarthana Sanduni
Published: January 2025

Hwange National Park, the largest national park in Zimbabwe, has been recorded as experiencing elephant migrations to neighbouring Botswana for several years due to drought-related dryness of water bodies. The adverse impacts of climate change have led to a rise in the annual surface temperature in Zimbabwe, rendering the country more susceptible to drought conditions and decreased rainfall. To investigate the directional trend of elephant migration patterns from Hwange National Park to neighbouring Botswana, spatiotemporal analysis was conducted from 2009 to 2017 using ArcGIS Pro software. Secondary data was utilized for analysis, with elephant migration data abstracted from Movebank, an open-source data portal for large collections of animal tracking data. These migration patterns were remotely tracked through GPS sensors. Additionally, annual surface temperature data, sourced from the International Monetary Fund's climate data, was considered as a correlated factor with the fundamental objective of the research. A bar chart was created to statistically represent the temperature data. The results emphasized that fluctuations in annual surface temperature in Zimbabwe have influenced elephant migration, with high surface temperatures recorded in 2010, 2015, and 2016 being accompanied by increased migrations. Consequently, the elephants' tendency to migrate towards Botswana has gradually risen throughout the period, underscoring the adverse impacts of climate change.

Increasing Literacy of Sharia Disaster Insurance in Indonesia
Authors: Sunarto Ellectrananda
Published: January 2025

Natural disaster losses need to be reduced in order to be recovered from. APBN/APBD has a budget for disaster management thanks to the efforts of the Indonesian government, as mandated by Law No. 24 of 2007The government must alter its natural disaster risk finance policies in order to meet the demands for large catastrophe funding that is prompt, targeted, more planned, sustainable, and transparent. Economic losses and the burden on the state budget will be lessened as a result. This funding must be able to satisfy the financial needs for emergency response and catastrophe recovery in addition to the financial requirements for disaster risk transfer and mitigation (rehabilitation and reconstruction). The individual risk insurer is the organization in charge of managing insurance. The agreement between the insured and the insurer is known as a policy in the context of insurance. The insurer agrees to assume a variety of potential future risks under the agreement in exchange for certain payments from the insured. The amounts that the insured pays to the insurer are known as premiums
‘This is not going to change in the short term’–Finnish and Spanish primary school student teachers’ views on competencies for promoting sustainability education
Authors: Yli-Panula Eija , Banos-Gonzalez Isabel , Jeronen Eila , Tringham Maaria
Published: January 2025

In the contest of UNESCO’s eight teacher competencies for sustainable development, this survey study aimed to investigate Finnish (n = 190) and Spanish (n = 170) primary school student teachers’ views on competencies related to sustainability education and the ability to act as sustainability educators. The student teachers’ answers to a questionnaire were investigated using qualitative content analysis. The most common competencies that appeared in the answers were strategic thinking, collaboration and integrated problem-solving. Most often, strategic thinking was reflected in responses related to global, regional and local problems. Normative, critical and systems thinking were the rarest competencies, and self-awareness competency was not detected in the student teachers’ answers. In general, only one or two competencies were found in each answer, and no competency at all was found in the majority of the student teachers’ answers. The educational implications of these results and the implications for initial teacher education are discussed.

Published: January 2025

The self-explanation effect (SEE) has great potential in strengthening student learning outcomes. With adequate instructional guidance, this potential is even higher. Our study aimed to examine to what extent direct instruction (DI) and indirect instruction (II) in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education can strengthen different types of student engagement, as well as whether and to what extent the SEE can support instructional STEAM learning and enhance student engagement. The research was conducted through a quasi-experimental design. The data were collected using an instrument–the engagement scale and were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), one-way ANOVA analysis, and paired sample t-test. The study involved 103 students aged 9-10 years. The results of CFA showed that the adapted version of the instrument for measuring four types of student engagement–emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and agentic–represents a valid and reliable measure for these purposes in primary education. In addition the results of one-way ANOVA analysis and t-test revealed that the usage of DI and II proved to be successful in enhancing all four types of student engagement in the performance of STEAM activities, whereby the combination of the usage of DI with the SEE was singled out as the most successful strategy. As a significant practical implication, this research underlines the need to create appropriate conditions for introducing the SEE in the teaching of STEAM.

Authors: Masocha Wonder , Takaidza Norman , Manyani Albert , Mutseekwa Christopher
Published: January 2025

Climate change and associated disaster risks are contemporary issues of global concern. The school is a transformation agent with a crucial disaster reliance cascading potential which dovetails with the United Nations Sendai framework for disaster risk reduction 2015-2030. This paper reviews the literature on the disaster risk reduction (DRR) curriculum integration imperative and milestones achieved globally to date. School curricula, as conduits for disaster resilience, are explored using the lens of ideal DRR education dimensions to predict achievements, challenges, and opportunities to strengthen this integration imperative. Reviewed literature contributes to our theoretical and empirical scope of DRR to strengthen global resilience to recurrent disasters. Literature implied the need to raise pedagogy above the knowledge dimension of DRR and harness skills and attitudes in the response, action, participation, and integration dimensions. The paper recommends ensuring disaster resilience propagation through the innovative and holistic framework of integration of DRR into the school curriculum. The frameworks should consider pedagogical assessment matrices guided by DRR education dimensions in the learners’ social context.
A praxeological analysis of functions in lower secondary school: Comparing the textbooks in Japan and Indonesia
Authors: Utami Nadya Syifa , Mizoguchi Tatsuya , Prabawanto Sufyani , Suryadi Didi
Published: January 2025

This study undertakes a comparative analysis of the learning of functions in Japanese and Indonesian curricula. Using praxeology, a primary construct of the anthropological theory of the didactic, this study analyzed how functions are approached in both countries’ school mathematics textbooks. The analysis results revealed a noteworthy contrast: while the Japanese textbooks predominantly define functions as relationships between changing quantities, Indonesians are heavily influenced by mapping elements between two sets. These findings were further explained by how the two countries’ knowledge of functions is adapted. In Japan, the notion of functions evolved from proportions, commencing with the modelling of proportional relationships. In contrast, Indonesian textbooks derive functions from relations, with both concepts are introduced after set theory. This study extended its discussion upon the implication of these findings, suggesting an alternative praxeological model for inquiry-based learning about functions.

Violencia exílica: el monopolio de la venganza
Authors: Aguirre Moreno Arturo
Published: January 2025

La colaboración analiza el exilio como una forma de exclusión institucional y desarrolla el concepto de “violencia exílica”, el cual abarca tanto el desplazamiento como la desarticulación de vínculos comunitarios. A partir de la revisión de prácticas excluyentes en la Antigüedad y del análisis puntual de Platón en Las leyes, se examina el papel del exilio en la consolidación del monopolio de la venganza, que transformó la justicia privada y directa en un sistema procesal de sanción pública. También se analizan las implicaciones de estas prácticas en la configuración de comunidades, la construcción de narrativas históricas y la continuidad de estructuras contemporáneas de exclusión, con énfasis en fenómenos actuales como la marginalización y los desplazamientos forzados.
La idea de ensimismamiento de Sørën Kierkegaard como clave para la interpretación de la relación entre jóvenes y espacios virtuales
Authors: Alegría Morán José Rolando
Published: January 2025

El siguiente artículo explora la relación entre las y los jóvenes y los espacios virtuales, utilizando la idea de ensimismamiento de Søren Kierkegaard como clave interpretativa. En la actualidad, la juventud pasa mucho tiempo en línea, moldeando su identidad a través de interacciones en redes sociales, donde pueden explorar y experimentar sin la supervisión de personas adultas. Estas, aunque ofrecen un espacio para la autoexpresión, pueden convertirse en un refugio solitario, donde el individuo se pierde en sí mismo, mientras se enfrenta a una saturación de información que limita su capacidad de escuchar y aprender de los demás. El ensimismamiento, en este contexto, se manifiesta como una desconexión de la realidad y de otros, lo que puede obstaculizar el crecimiento personal y social.

Stayability (STAY) reflects the ability of a cow to avoid both voluntary and involuntary culling. The present study aimed to estimate variance components and heritability for STAY in Holstein and Brown Swiss cattle. Genealogical and productive data from 340 cows were used. The data were provided by Las Margaritas experimental farm, belonging to the National Institute of Forestry, Agricultural and Livestock Research of Mexico. STAY was defined as a cow's probability of achieving a specific lactation. STAY traits analyzed were the probabilities that a cow had one (STAY1), two (STAY2), three (STAY3), four (STAY4), and five (STAY5) lactations, given that it had a first calving. Variance components and heritability were estimated with the ASREML statistical software. An animal threshold model was fitted. It included the fixed effect of the contemporary group and the covariate percentage of Holstein genes, heterozygosity, and recombination loss. The direct additive genetic effect was included as a random effect. Heritability values of 0.33 + 0.33, 0.23 + 0.11, 0.27 + 0.09, 0.24 + 0.09 and 0.29 + 0.09 were obtained for STAY1, STAY2, STAY3, STAY4 and STAY5, respectively. The heritability values obtained were in the range of low to moderate, which suggests that the traits could be taken into account in future genetic selection programs.

Assessment of Human-originated Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (MPA) as Effective Contraceptive in Domesticated Queens (Felis catus) in Iraq
Authors: A Alabodi Mushtaq , M Almeeni Imad
Published: January 2025

Domestic cats (Felis catus) pose a significant challenge for pet owners during the mating season, necessitating effective contraceptive strategies to manage feline populations. This study investigated the use of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), precisely the human formulation Depo-Provera®, as a potential solution for feline contraception. Ten adult female cats were included in a randomized controlled trial, with the treatment group receiving a single intramuscular injection of 25 mg/cat MPA. Clinical observations, vaginal cytology, and hormonal analysis were conducted to assess treatment efficacy. Results demonstrated that MPA treatment effectively suppresses estrus behaviours, prolongs interestrus duration, and modulates hormonal profiles (estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin). This indicates its promise as a safe and practical contraceptive option for managing feline populations. This study provided a viable, non-invasive alternative for feline population control. Further research is recommended to optimize dosing regimens and evaluate long-term effects on reproductive health‎‎‎.

Purpose of the Research: This research evaluated the effect of varying doses of ethanol extract leaves of Senna occidentalis, Annona muricata, and Aju-mbaise on the liver biochemical parameters and hematological indices in Wistar rats.
Scope of the experiment: Twenty Wistar rats weighing 120 g to 150 g were used. They were distributed into four groups, with five rats each. Group one served as a control and was given water and normal rat chow. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were given S. occidentalis, A. muricata, and A. mbaise extracts for 30 days, respectively. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected for hematological and biochemical analysis. Liver tissue was also harvested for histopathological examination.
Result: There was a significant increase (p < 0.05) in the hematological parameters of rats that were administered A. muricata and A. mbaise. For the liver enzymes (ALT, AST, and ALP), there was no significant (p < 0.05) increase across the test groups when compared with the control. However, A. mbaise administration resulted in alterations in serum concentration of conjugated bilirubin and serum albumin when compared with other test groups and with the control. Histological examination of the liver tissue revealed that the extract of A. muricata resulted in liver toxicity.
Conclusion: The result implies that A. mbaise may lead to hemolysis, which can result in anemia as opposed to S. occidentalis and A. muricata, while A. muricata can result in liver toxicity.

Authors: Neetu Parmar  , Amit Tiwari  , Arjun Singh Parmar
Published: January 2025

Antimicrobial resistance showed by different uropathogens is one of the barricades that might hinder the successful treatment (Bajpai et al., 2019). Detection of extended beta–lactamase (ESBL) production among uropathogens is an important marker of endemicity.
Aim: This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of pathogens in urinary tract and their antimicrobial susceptibilities, based on extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC beta-lactamase production in Central India. Methodology and results: The prevalence of pathogenic microorganisms in urinary tract and their antimicrobial resistance patterns were identified in 400 isolates from patients with urinary tract infections. Combined disc diffusion was performed to identify the presence of ESBL-producing strains. Moreover, disc approximation assay, disc potentiating test and double disc synergy test were performed to determine the presence of AmpC beta-lactamase producing bacterial strains. This study demonstrated a higher prevalence of UTIs in females (81.25%) than in males (18.75%). The most common pathogen was found Escherichia coli (44.5%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (20%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12.5%) Enterobacter species (5%) and Proteus species (2.5%). ESBL and AmpC beta-lactamase production occurred more frequently in E. coli (17.5%) and Klebsiella pneumonia (5.5%) respectively.
Significance and impact of study: The result of this study would provide physicians with important information which help them to make a judicious choice of antibiotics for therapeutic purposes. However, it is emphasized that continuous surveillance of antibiogram of medically important organisms causing UTI is necessary for adopting a rational antibiotic policy in the country.

Published: January 2025

Interest in the use behavioral insights to study public administration has been gaining momentum in recent years. While the literature on behavioral finance and behavioral public finance offers a useful reference point, incorporating behavioral approaches to the study of public financial administration remains pending. This article uses a bibliometric approach to provide readers with “a bird’s eye view” of co-authorship networks and topics driving public finance discussions in public administration and public policy journals. The gaps that are made evident with the analysis represent an area of opportunity for the development of what we refer to as behavioral public financial administration.

Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Machine Learning Methods for Forecasting Green Bond Index: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Gür Yunus Emre , Şimşek Ahmed İhsan , Bulut Emre
Published: January 2025

The main objective of this study is to contribute to the literature by forecasting green bond index with different machine learning models supported by artificial intelligence. The data from 1 June 2021 to 29 April 2024, collected from many sources, was separated into training and test sets, and standard preparation was conducted for each. The model's dependent variable is the Global S&P Green Bond Index, which monitors the performance of green bonds in global financial markets and serves as a comprehensive benchmark for the study. To evaluate and compare the performance of the trained machine learning models (Random Forest, Linear Regression, Rational Quadratic Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), XGBoost, MLP, and Linear SVM), RMSE, MSE, MAE, MAPE, and R² were used as evaluation metrics and the best performing model was Rational Quadratic GPR. The concluding segment of the SHAP analysis reveals the primary factors influencing the model's forecasts. It is evident that the model assigns considerable importance to macroeconomic indicators, including the DXY (US Dollar Index), XAU (Gold Spot Price), and MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International). This work is expected to enhance the literature, as studies directly comparable to this research are limited in this field.
BIST 100 Endeksi Borsa İstanbul’un Genel Performansını Yansıtıyor mu?
Authors: Unal Serkan , Yurtoğlu Yasemin
Published: January 2025

Bu çalışmada, BIST 100 Endeksinin Borsa İstanbul’da yatırımcıların elde ettiği getirileri ne ölçüde etkin bir şekilde temsil ettiği araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın veri seti 2000-2023 dönemindeki çeyreklik bazda BIST 100 Endeksi bileşenlerini, Borsa İstanbul’daki şirketlerin 31.12.1999-15.02.2024 dönemindeki getirilerini ve hisse yoğun yatırım fonlarının 23.02.2019-23.02.2024 dönemindeki performanslarını kapsamaktadır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre BIST 100 Endeksi performansı, hisse bazlı getiri dağılımında ortalamadan ayrışabilmekte ve uçlarda kalabilmektedir. Hisselerin aşırı tepki hareketinden olumsuz yönde etkilenmektedir. BIST 100 ağırlıklı olarak bankacılık sektörünün etkisi altındadır bu nedenle farklı sektörleri temsil yeteneği güçlü değildir. Özellikle 2008 küresel finans krizinin ardından bankaların zayıf performans gösterdiği ve bu durumun BIST 100 Endeksini olumsuz etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. t testi sonuçlarına göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde diğer hisselere kıyasla hızla yükselen hisseler endekse dahil olmakta, sonrasında ise negatif performans göstererek endeksi aşağıya çekmektedirler. Endeks birleşenlerinden oluşturulacak sabit bir portföy endeksin üstünde performans gösterecektir. Benzer bir durum endeksi takip eden fonlar için de geçerlidir. Endeksi takip eden fonların getirileri endeksi takip etmeyen fonların getirilerinden düşüktür. Bulgular, BIST 100 Endeksinin Borsa İstanbul’un genel performansını etkin bir şekilde yansıtmadığını göstermektedir.
The Nexus between Renewable Energy, Economic Growth, and Carbon Dioxide Emissions: Evidence from MS-VAR and MS-Granger Causality Methods
Authors: Büyükyılmaz Ercan Ayça , Ercan Metehan
Published: January 2025

This study aims to examine the dynamic relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth in Denmark, Sweden, and Chile. These countries were not randomly selected. They were chosen since they have the highest scores according to the Climate Change Performance Index (2023). In addition, Markov-switching vector autoregressive (MS-VAR) and Markov-switching Granger (MS-Granger) causality methods are applied to the annual data of the three countries over the period 1971–2021. Contrary to linear methods, MS-VAR and MS-Granger causality approaches allow us to estimate and interpret this relationship for different regimes, such as recession and expansion. These methods also provide insights into the likelihood and duration of the persistence of the current economic regime. The empirical results show that there is a two-way MS-Granger causality between renewable energy consumption and economic growth in all regimes for the three countries except for moderate and high expansion regimes for Chile. Moreover, in general, there is a two-way MS-Granger causality between economic growth and CO2 emissions in all regimes. Furthermore, the findings from the estimated models indicate that there is a two-way MS-Granger causality between renewable energy consumption and CO2 emissions in general, except for the second regime for Chile.
Digital Financial Inclusion and its Determinants: Evidence from Türkiye
Authors: Güz Tuğba , Poyraz Gülden
Published: January 2025

Facilitating participation in the financial system through digital technologies became important to identify the determinants of Digital Financial Inclusion (DFI). In this context, the study aims to examine the use and accessibility of DFI and measure it specifically for Türkiye. The data is divided into two categories: demographic variables (gender, age, income, and education level) and variables related to DFI (account ownership, ownership of mobile money account, saving, and borrowing) and was compiled from the Global Findex Database 2021. Considering the binary structure of the dependent variable, the probit model was used in the study. Although our model findings indicate that demographic characteristics such as gender, education, and income have a significant effect on account ownership and savings, when marginal effects are taken into account, education is the strongest determinant of DFI. Regarding the income level, the coefficient estimates for the four income quintiles were found statistically significant. However, for lower-income quintiles, particularly the poorest 20 percent and the second 20 percent, the probability of being financially included was found to be significantly lower. When all variables are taken into consideration, women are more financially excluded than men, and there is significant gender inequality, especially in terms of account ownership.
Sovereign Risk and Implication of Monetary Policy: Evidence from Panel Data
Authors: Onuk Parla
Published: January 2025

This paper reopens the discussion on the main dynamics behind the sovereign debt crisis focusing on global monetary policy. A panel logit model was applied using data from twenty countries between 1975 and 2022. According to the model, an increase in the U.S. interest rate is one of the significant factors fueling the likelihood of a debt distress in developing countries. With this finding, we emphasize the dependency of developing countries on external factors through the interest rate and the importance of external dynamics. Additionally, an increase in short-term debt to total reserves and the ratio of international reserves to imports strengthens the likelihood of debt distress. Another important factor is the possibility that countries may fall into debt distress due to high inflation and low growth. Although these two variables are considered internal dynamics of countries, there is a strong direct relationship between the performance of production and expenditure in periphery countries and foreign capital. In this context, various recommendations are presented in the conclusion section for reconsidering debt crises and implementing appropriate policies.
