Authors: Abdillah Fahmi , Risqiani Renny , Jakaria Jakaria
Published: September 2023

In the 6th assessment report published by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), it is stated that the impact of climate change will be felt on the settlements and infrastructure of people living in coastal areas. The magnitude of this potential impact has encouraged the Anambas Islands Regional Government to include this impact in the Anambas Islands District Medium Term Development Plan for 2021-2026. Of course, synergy is needed in handling these impacts by involving all stakeholders, including oil and gas companies operating in this area. This study aims to determine the impact of climate change and the forms of community adaptation, as well as community perceptions of the contribution of oil and gas companies through the CSR change program in order to help mitigate climate impacts and also increase the adaptability of the community. Data was collected from all stakeholders as well as beneficiaries of the company's CSR program, by conducting in-depth interviews, observations, and also using a questionnaire. For the general public, climate change has begun to be felt with extreme weather conditions that often cause disasters, as well as decreased catches of fishermen in coastal areas. In fact, in certain seasons it will affect the smooth transportation of sea people, so that it can affect people's daily activities. Regarding the CSR program that has been carried out by oil and gas companies, the community considers this program very important for them, but further efforts still need to be made in order to meet their expectations, including increasing income.

Published: September 2023

82.3% of the population of Sabu Raijua Regency work as farmers with a high level of need for water but the geographical conditions of Sabu Island are not able to support this activity because the majority consists of dry land with a percentage of 97.51% and the number of rainy days is only approximately 100 days per year so that The Sabu Raijua Regency Government has built hundreds of reservoirs to meet agricultural activities, but the weak sustainability of the reservoir construction projects in Sabu Raijua Regency is a problem in itself. The method used in this research is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach with a total number of 76 people who were determined purposively then the primary and secondary data collected were analyzed using data analysis techniques from Creswell (2016). Water governance in the construction of reservoirs for water supply resilience for agriculture in Sabu Raijua Regency, NTT Province uses theory from Van der Kerk, et al (2013: 8) with research results in aspects (1) content layer which is hampered by the uneven flow of information, the absence of training to improve the knowledge and skills of reservoir water users as well as poor strategies/policies, whereas in aspect (2) the institutional layer from the organizational side there was no clear division of roles and responsibilities between institutions, the private sector and the community relating to the use of reservoir water and instruments that were not adequate and in aspect (3) the relational layer on the cooperation side was found not to involve existing policy stakeholders in making decisions about the water management process. The inhibiting factors for water governance in the construction of reservoirs for the resilience of water supply for agriculture in Sabu Raijua Regency, NTT Province consist of a minimal budget, lack of effective institutional governance and climate and geographical conditions.

Published: September 2023

E-hailing services have a pivotal role in mitigating traffic congestion and decreasing the volume of private vehicles on the streets, thereby amplifying the effectiveness of the road transportation network. It provides income opportunities for drivers who can work flexible hours and utilize their own vehicles to earn money. Nevertheless, various obstacles stand in the way of the growth of e-hailing services, with customer acceptance being a prominent concern. Consequently, the primary objective of this research is to assess the extent to which the community embraces e-hailing applications, specifically focusing on Grabcar. By employing a systematic random sampling technique, a total of 345 individuals participated in this comprehensive study. The outcomes, analyzed through the lens of the Diffusion of Innovations Theory, reveal that the relative advantages, ease of use, trialability, social influence, and physical security significantly shape individuals' acceptance to adopt the Grabcar application. The findings of this study carry substantial implications for academic scholars and policymakers alike, guiding the creation of innovative strategies to optimize the potential of digital application services. As future research evolves, it may diverge from these findings to delve into qualitative aspects within this research realm, encompassing vital economic, social, and governance components. Such exploration would align with the ambitious pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals, reflecting a broader commitment to holistic societal advancement and responsible technological integration. Focusing solely on a specific region or demographic, this study's limitation could restrict its findings' broader applicability to a diverse population.

Published: September 2023

The present study aimed at comprehensively understanding how English language learners benefit from using chatbots. The researchers utilized purposive sampling to undergraduate students who were enrolled in the General English language course during the final semester of 2021 at a public university in Malaysia. With a phenomenological perspective at its core, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with 25 students. The interview data analysis followed Braun and Clarke (2006) thematic analysis approach. The data was analyzed using an inductive approach based on the Interactive, Constructive, Active, and Passive (ICAP) framework categorizing and passive learning modes. Results revealed that three of these- passive, active and constructive modes gave exposure to students about language materials via meaningful activities contributing towards their overall proficiency in the subject matter; while in the interactive mode of learning through chats - responsiveness was an issue.  The study recommends that instructors should act as facilitators to help learners by guiding interactions or providing necessary support/scaffolding so that they receive a more productive experience of instruction from chatbots integrated under the ICAP framework. The proposed pedagogical model serves as quintessential counsel for policymakers and educationists who aim to augment language learning results across diverse educational settings.

A cobertura midiática dos sindicatos e suas manifestações: análise das revistas Veja e Carta Capital no ano de 2017
Authors: Santos Victor Henrique de Freitas Almeida
Published: September 2023

Este trabalho visa entregar ao leitor uma análise crítica da cobertura midiática referente às manifestações sindicais durante o ano de 2017. A escolha dos veículos a serem analisados (Veja e Carta Capital) e do período das publicações tornam esse trabalho extremamente atual, discutindo um tema de grande importância para a ação popular e a luta dos trabalhadores, assim como para entender como essa luta é vista por duas perspectivas midiáticas distintas. Além da análise empírica dos veículos, enfocando elementos textuais e imagéticos de reportagens sobre manifestações sindicais – sobretudo a greve geral de 2017 –, fazemos um panorama social e político que, alicerçado em pesquisa bibliográfica, oferece um background histórico do sindicalismo brasileiro, de seus primórdios até os últimos anos. O recorte sobre 2017 se explica pela combinação de acontecimentos, predominantemente desfavoráveis aos trabalhadores, registrados naquele ano, entre os quais o aumento do desemprego, a aprovação e a implementação da reforma trabalhista e a explosão do trabalho informal. Já a escolha da Veja e da Carta Capital tem como propósito analisar dois veículos de perfil decididamente diverso – para não dizer antagônico: a Veja, naquele momento, a publicação-símbolo do antipetismo e a Carta Capital, um caso raro de contraponto às políticas neoliberais que ressurgiam no país.

Authors: Lacerda Renata Vieira Cabral , De Oliveira Márcia Farsura
Published: September 2023

O leite materno fornece ao recém-nascido uma nutrição adequada e completa, em termos de componentes bioativos. Porém, a adesão à prática de aleitamento é insatisfatória estatisticamente, conforme dados do Ministério da Saúde. Hipotetiza-se que o desconhecimento pelas nutrizes dos benefícios e da técnica adequada de amamentação seja o principal entrave. Dessa forma, os serviços de saúde do Sistema Único de Saúde podem promover ações de divulgação de informações científicas, visando ampliar tal prática. Objetivou-se revisar, na literatura científica, as metodologias de educação em saúde voltadas ao aleitamento materno que são utilizadas na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), no Brasil e no mundo.  Para isso, procedeu-se revisão integrativa da literatura, nas bases de dados Google Acadêmico, PubMed e SciELO, com descritores e estratégias de busca: "Educação em Saúde" AND "Aleitamento Materno", "Educação em Saúde" AND "Gravidez", "Health education" AND "Breastfeeding" e "Health education" AND "Pregnancy". Os resultados de 12 artigos revelam que a abordagem de educação em saúde voltada ao aleitamento materno coletiva ou individual, na APS ou em domicílio, recorrendo a álbuns, vídeos, dramatização e mensagens virtuais são contributivas para aquisição de conhecimento pelas nutrizes e para a consequente realização de amamentação.

Role of Green Bonds in Promoting Sustainability and their Effects on Public Policy
Authors: Dwivedy Dilip , Sharma Mukesh
Published: September 2023

Objective: During the last decade, the launch of green bonds has been one of the most important breakthroughs in sustainable financing. The effect of environmental labels on bond yields has been a common topic. Green bonds have become increasingly common, particularly in sectors where environmental factors are economically significant for businesses. Green bonds have been taken for consideration to boost environmental performance, indicating their efficacy in reducing businesses' ecological impact.

 

Result: These findings are specific to green bonds that have been independently confirmed, demonstrating the need of authorization as a control instrument in the green bond market. The investors have a favorable reaction to the news of issuance, with a stronger reaction for initial suppliers and securities certified by independent organizations. After the issuance, the issuers' environmental performance improves (in the form of higher environmental ratings and reduced Co-2 emissions), and long-term and green investors get a greater stake in the companies.

 

Method: Overall, the results are consistent with a signaling argument, suggesting that issuing green bonds is a credible way for businesses to demonstrate their dedication to environmental protection by developing Green Bonds in Business for Sustainable Growth [GB-BSG] to meet the challenges mentioned above.

 

Conclusion: Our research is among the first experimental inquiries into the effects of green bonds on the sustainability practices of businesses, the motivations of investors and issuers to enter the green bond market, and the significance of green bonds in redistributing capital to environmentally responsible endeavors.
Analysing Social Entrepreneurship's Legal and Regulatory Frameworks Using Collaborative Innovation
Authors: Singh Narendra Kumar , Kumar Pawan
Published: September 2023

Objective: The concept of social entrepreneurship, which combines commercial competence with social impact, has recently emerged as a major driving force in the effort to overcome intractable societal problems. This research takes a deep dive into a critical analysis of legal and regulatory frameworks and how they affect the field of social entrepreneurship. Knowing these frameworks is crucial because of their impact on social enterprise development and performance. However, there are a number of difficulties created by the interplay of social entrepreneurship and legal norms. These include things like generic legal frameworks, vague terminology, competing requirements, and insufficient resources. Creating conditions that allow social companies to thrive over the long term requires overcoming these obstacles.

 

Method: Combining comparative legal research with stakeholder engagements and impact evaluations, the paper proposes an Adaptable Regulatory Legal Design Using Collaborative Innovation (ARLD-CI). The objective of this method is to create flexible legal frameworks that can accommodate the wide range of social enterprise business models while still meeting the requirements of existing laws. The research conducted proves that specialized legal frameworks (SLF) can increase creativity, funding possibilities, and social impact.

 

Result: Potential changes in the law and regulation are modelled using hypothetical situations to see how they might affect social businesses, stakeholders, and the ecosystem as a whole. Using this ARLD-CI method, policymakers and stakeholders can better anticipate and prepare for the consequences of proposed regulatory changes when compared to SLF.

 

Conclusion: Based on the Sensitivity Factor, Long-Term Sustainability, Social Entrepreneurship Performance Metrics, a simulation research investigation is conducted.

Authors: Thuy Huong Nguyen Thi , Viet Trinh Xuan , Nuong Le Ngoc , Tha To Hien , Nhan Pham Hung
Published: September 2023

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to examine the establishment of industrial parks and clusters, focusing on a case study in Hanoi, and its relationship with environment protection laws. The study aims to achieve this objective through the utilization of descriptive methods, qualitative analysis techniques including synthesis and inductive reasoning.
 
Method: In pursuit of the study's objective, descriptive methods are employed to investigate the development of industrial parks and clusters in the context of environment protection regulations. Qualitative analysis techniques such as synthesis and inductive reasoning are applied to analyze the collected data and draw meaningful insights.
 
Result: The outcomes of the study reveal the formulation of an effective environment protection model suitable for the context of industrial park and cluster development. The study also highlights a crucial finding that investors engaged in constructing and operating technical infrastructure within these clusters bear significant responsibilities and obligations for ensuring environmental protection.
 
Conclusion: Based on the analysis conducted, the study concludes that the management and oversight of environmental matters by governmental authorities exhibit certain weaknesses. Specifically, inspections and evaluations related to environment protection are identified as areas needing improvement. Moreover, compliance with environmental protection regulations among industrial clusters (CCNs) is reported to be insufficient. Notably, a mere five out of the operational CCNs possess wastewater treatment facilities. Furthermore, many industrial zones lack comprehensive plans for centralized water supply systems and contravene regulations by undertaking secondary projects to extract underground water for production purposes. The study also underscores that a substantial portion of these secondary investment projects fail to adhere to stipulated criteria for tree coverage and other environmental protection regulations.

Published: September 2023

Aim: The objective of this research work is the analysis of macroeconomic shocks on fiscal policy in Peru in the years 1995 - 2019, based on empirical evidence collected, a structural autoregressive vector model (SVAR) will be formalized.

Methodology: The SVAR technique offers the possibility of analyzing the dynamic interrelationships between a set of variables, which gives it greater possibilities to analyze and contrast theoretical models.

Results: In the first part, certain definitions and arguments that justify the use of this type of model will be shown, then we will show our variables to use and we will propose the model. Next we will show the basic steps to be able to work with time series, such as the unit root tests for our series in levels and then we will use a transformation of these to extract characteristics such that the model presents stability and convergence.

Conclusion: Then we will show the steps to be able to estimate VAR models, how to choose the optimal lags to later (through an identification process) obtain our structural model. In this part we will use a particular identification methodology and we will discuss its definitions and how economic theory is used to be able to impose restrictions. Finally, in the central part, the impulse-response functions will be estimated, which is (together with the decomposition of the variance prediction error and the history decomposition) the tool that will allow us to draw a conclusion and results about the dynamics of macroeconomic behavior.

Originality/value: will allow us to draw a conclusion and results about the dynamics of macroeconomic behavior.

Authors: Sawaya Chadia , Al Maalouf Nada Jabbour , Elia Jean , Toros Elena , Zakhem Najib Bou
Published: September 2023

Objective: Lebanon is currently in its third year of an economic crisis that started in 2019 when the banking system collapsed under the weight of massive public debt, the result of decades of corruption and incompetence as well as an unsustainable financing mechanism and the ineptitude of those in power. Many people are wondering why Lebanon’s perversive financial system exists and many financial critics compared the banking system to a Ponzi scheme which has never been supported or refuted before by scholarly research that has been published. Taking into consideration the gap in the body of prior research and writing, the following study aims to address its focal question: Can the Lebanese banking sector be compared to a Ponzi scheme?

 

Method: To test the hypothesis, a survey was delivered to the bank’s clients receiving 432 responses.

 

Results: Based on the responses, the hypothesis was verified at least from the point of view of Lebanese citizens who believe they were tricked and deceived by a Ponzi scheme.

 

Conclusion: Due to the significant harm caused by Ponzi schemes, international authorities are considering conducting extensive interrogation into this destructive enigma. Hence, for future work, it is recommended to conduct a qualitative study to gather data from the perspective of professionals in the Lebanese banking sector, financial market experts, and economic analysts.

As a result, the study attempts to elicit the tendency in the scientific sector via the synthesising of information structures.
Design & Methodology: A bibliometric study of 420 papers in the area on financial literacy as well as investments research was conducted using a scientific search method ran on the scopus database from 2002 to 2022. The study made use of Biblioshiny, a web-based application contained in the Bibliometrix package written in R (Ariaa and Cuccurullo, 2017). Using the software's automated process, notable journals, authors, nations, articles, and topics were discovered, and citation, co-citation, and social network analyses were performed.
Findings: The findings indicate that the topics of financial literacy with investment have grown through time as a multidisciplinary discipline.  In addition to the conceptual structure, the present study discloses the domain's intellectual and social structure. This study sheds light on issues that require additional exploration.
Research Limitations: Because the current study is a bibliometric analysis, the limitations associated with such studies apply. A comprehensive study of the literature might be beneficial for future scholars in developing a robust conceptual framework. The Scopus database was used for this study because it has a greater coverage of high-quality publications in structured forms that are compatible with the Bibliometrix programme. The quality and extent of the current literature limit the scope of the review. The methodology and populations analysed in the papers that make up the review differ, limiting the ability to be generalised of the findings.
Practical Implications: The current study sheds light on financial literacy, investments, and their interrelationships. It emphasises the most addressed challenges in the field and points to potential study opportunities. It educates future scholars about emerging topics, settings, and cooperation opportunities in this field by showing the domain's social and intellectual structure.
Social Implications: The review has important social implications, as investment has significant implications for individual and societal welfare. Improving financial literacy and investment behavior can enhance financial well-being, reduce inequality, and promote economic growth.
Originality/Value: This study gives a detailed summary of existing financial literacy and investment information on global Level. The study synthesises a wide range of studies, finds similar patterns, and offers insights into the variables influencing investing behaviour.

"Let's face it: in the age of Google and Wikipedia, the university and, most likely, secondary school business models will have to alter. We cannot make a life selling truth anymore. They are instantly accessible with the click of a mouse" (Firenstein, 2013).
Despite information technology's long history as a major field of study, the last decade has seen a dramatic shift in the field's focus due to the rise of the Internet. To account for the dramatic developments across both technologies and their settings, many researchers have investigated and presented models and theories of technology adoption to anticipate and explicate user behaviour with technology. Most of these theories and models were created in the United States, and each one proposes a unique collection of determinants and moderators. Thus, it is questioned if the models and theories of technology acceptance developed, adapted, and extended in the United States are applicable in other nations, particularly India. Additionally, it is speculated that other potential determinants and moderators may also play significant roles in this setting.
This paper (1) reviewed literature in regards to prominent theories and models; (2) reviewed previous literature about IT acceptance and usage within four contexts of study; and (3) concluded that using the Internet helps in improving academics' professional practices.
In the research model, there are five main factors that influence usage and up to nine others that moderate important associations.
Perceived utility, perceived ease of use, and self-efficacy were found to be the most important factors in determining usage behaviour in the classroom. Usefulness and self-efficacy were two primary characteristics that strongly predicted usage behaviour across different activities. In conclusion, usage patterns were a major factor in shaping future behaviour. Key drivers of using behaviour were also moderated by three factors: age, e-university plan, and reading and writing proficiency. There were just two moderators that affected the impact of usage behaviour on behaviour intention, and those were age and intended university research. Gender, degree of education, academic rank, years of experience, and fluency in India had no effect on the impact of the major determinants on usage behaviour, and usage behaviour had no effect on the impact of the intention to change. Practitioners may benefit from a deeper familiarity with the model in order to better understand the factors contributing to users' reluctance to adopt the technology and to develop more effective strategies for boosting its widespread adoption and use.

O presente estudo se propõe a analisar as pessoas com deficiência no modelo de deficiência médico, onde a deficiência é característica da pessoa e do ponto de vista social, onde a deficiência é parte de uma falta de inclusão na sociedade, neste ponto estaremos registrando o enfoque nas transformações do modelo de trabalho deste grupo. Para estudar este recorte no mercado de trabalho será usado como base os direitos sociais e fundamentais na constituição de 1988. Em concordância ao tema trabalhado analisaremos a história da pessoa com deficiência afim de alinhar um modelo capaz de gerar a linhagem de uma trajetória de lutas. Para tal resultado serão averiguados a legislação que disciplina a matéria e a relação histórica vivenciando tal efetivação. Nesse sentido, será enfatizada o intuito de promover a efetiva inclusão social dos deficientes, oportunizando a efetiva participação desse grupo no mercado de trabalho e na vida social como um todo. O preconceito que impedem a efetividade e a fluição desses direitos básicos e fundamentais de forma igualitária também será observado, mormente no que tange à questão social.
