Authors: Mahmoud Tahboub  , Chokri Slim
Published: December 2024

The impact of Entrepreneurship Education and Training (EET) and Business and Professional Infrastructure (BPI) on entrepreneurial intentions (EI) has garnered considerable attention from scholars for many years. The findings were largely consistent and suggested a positive impact of these factors on entrepreneurial intentions (EI). This quantitative study employed an online survey to collect data from participants using random sampling. Factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed on the data. The findings suggest that Palestinian entrepreneurs recognize the significance of Entrepreneurial Education and Training (EET) in enhancing their Entrepreneurial intentions (EI), and that those who have engaged with EET are more inclined to possess robust entrepreneurial intentions. The findings further suggest that access to suitable BPI favorably affects their EI and motivates them to initiate their own businesses. The study's findings provide significant insights for Palestinian policymakers and entrepreneurship stakeholders, as they demonstrate that the implementation of well-structured EET programs and the provision of an advanced BPI correlate with a favorable perception of entrepreneurship. Policymakers should endeavor to foster an educational and socio-economic climate, as well as a regulatory framework, that facilitates Palestinians in initiating, operating, and sustaining their businesses. The study's findings offer critical insights for Palestinian policymakers and entrepreneurship stakeholders in formulating effective EET programs to furnish Palestinians with essential entrepreneurial knowledge and to cultivate an attractive BPI that encourages the decision to pursue entrepreneurship, thereby aiming to transform Palestinian society into an entrepreneurial one.

The advancement of industry and technology has created opportunities for businesses to turn data into valuable assets that drive growth. Data visualization serves as an effective solution to transform complex data into easily understandable information, thereby accelerating business processes and improving decision-making. The Institute for Policy Development (Poldev) at UGM developed UniTrend, a website that provides real-time public sector data to address the limitations of data access from the government. However, UniTrend's data presentation has yet to consider user-friendliness in reading graphs. This final project aims to address this issue by improving the quality of data visualization in terms of effectiveness and user experience. The resulting design is based on the principles of data-ink ratio and Gestalt principles. A total of nine visualizations from three different designs were tested through low-level tasks and the meCUE questionnaire. The test results showed that data-ink ratio design excelled in three aspects: usefulness by 75%, usability by 67%, overall evaluation by 63%, accuracy by 63%, and preference by 56%. Based on these results, data-ink ratio design demonstrated better overall performance compared to Gestalt principles design. Overall, the application of data-ink ratio and Gestalt principles successfully improved the effectiveness and user satisfaction in accessing information on UniTrend's website data visualizations

Authors: Muhammad Akbar Chaniago  , Sura Menda Ginting  , Febrian Solikhin
Published: December 2024

This study aim is to synthesize and characterize metal organic frameworks La-NDC and determine the electronic response to borax (H3BO3) compounds. The method used to synthesize La-NDC MOFs is the solvothermal method with dimethylacetamide (DMA) as solvent. The research was conducted in the learning laboratory of FKIP UNIB and the Basic Science laboratory of FMIPA UNIB from April to June 2022. The synthesis stages of La-NDC MOFs consisted of six stages, namely preparation, mixing, heating and cooling, washing, drying and weighing. Yield results obtained as much as 70.77% and 63.85%. The results showed that La-NDC MOFs have been synthesized with a slightly yellowish white crystalline form. Characterization of La-NDC MOFs was carried out using FTIR, SEM and XRD methods. The results of FTIR characterization showed that Lanthanum metal ions had coordinated with NDC ligands to form a network of MOFs, XRD characterization results showed that La-NDC MOFs had good crystallinity and SEM characterization results showed that the morphology of La-NDC MOFs resembled irregular rocks with diameters ranging from 73 - 581 m. The analytes used for the response test were borax, benzene, toluene and formalin. The electronic response test of La-NDC MOFs was carried out using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength range of 200-800 nm. The results of the electronic response test on the sample of MOFs with borax show that La-NDC MOFs have no potential as sensors because they do not show specific electronic behavior towards borax

A Case of Cataract Surgery after Radial Keratotomy with Enhanced Monofocal Intraocular Lens Implantation
Authors: Jung Hyun Ji , Han Kyung Eun
Published: December 2024

Purpose: To report on a patient who achieved good visual performance following cataract surgery with implantation of an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) after a previous radial keratotomy decades earlier.Case summary: A 53-year-old male, previously seen at our medical center as a glaucoma suspect, presented with decreased visual acuity in the left eye. He had radial keratotomy for myopia correction in both eyes 30 years prior at another hospital. Before cataract surgery, the distant visual acuity of his left eye was 0.5, which could not be corrected. Slit-lamp examination revealed an NO2NC2C3 (Lens Opacities Classification System III) cataract. Phacoemulsification with an enhanced monofocal IOL (ICB00; Johnson & Johnson Vision, Santa Ana, CA, USA) was performed on the left eye. One month postoperatively, uncorrected visual acuity in the left eye was 1.0 for all distances: far, intermediate (66 cm), and near (40 cm). At 3 months, uncorrected visual acuity was 1.0 for far, 0.8 for intermediate (66 cm), and 0.32 for near (33 cm).Conclusions: Eyes that have previously undergone radial keratotomy may qualify for the insertion of an enhanced monofocal IOL during cataract surgery.

PEMBERIAN WARISAN PADA SALAH SATU AHLI WARIS KARENA MERAWAT ORANG TUA PERSPEKTIF TAFSIR HERMENEUTIK AYAT WARIS

Facts show that some people currently give inherited assets to endow or give to heirs who care for their parents. This is because the heir who takes care of his parents needs it more or finds it more difficult to care for his parents, so that in the view of other heirs, the heir who takes care of his parents is more entitled to receive all the inheritance. Giving inheritance assets to heirs who care for their parents seems to be contrary to the provisions of the Al-Qur'an verse which stipulates that inheritance must be divided according to the provisions in the Al-Qur'an and/or hadith. This research aims to review the interpretation of Al-Qur'an verses regarding inheritance using normative descriptive methodology and a hermeneutic approach as a model of interpretation. It is hoped that this research will be able to contribute to Islamic legal thoughts which continue to experience changes both in the pattern of goals and/or socio-culture, especially the law regarding al-Mu'amalah al-Insaniah
Keywords: Distribution of inheritance, heirs who care for parents, Hasan Hanafi’s hermeneutics

Los miembros del Panel Intergubernamental del Cambio Climático, han emitido diversos informes sobre los posibles impactos que ocasionará el cambio climático, asimismo señalan la necesidad de la mitigación de sus causas y la adaptación ante nuevos escenarios. Los impactos van a ser diversos a nivel mundial, siendo la agricultura uno de los elementos causantes, también sufrirá los efectos que en algunos casos beneficiará algunos cultivos, pero mayormente va a afectarse negativamente el rendimiento de los cultivos. Los eventos extremos como el Fenómeno El Niño se presentarán cada vez más seguido, ocasionando pérdidas en el sector agrícola poniendo en riesgo el abastecimiento de alimentos producidos en la zona norte del Perú. Desde el año 1977 en el Perú se constituyó la Comisión Multisectorial para el Estudio Nacional del Fenómeno El Niño (ENFEN) siendo uno de sus objetivos el reducir los daños que ocasione en la economía y población. En el departamento de La Libertad se produce principalmente arroz y caña de azúcar, también tiene una zona de altura donde se produce papa, estos productos tienen destino para el abastecimiento alimentario interno; también gracias a la agroexportación es un gran productor de espárragos, paltas y arándanos.

In the course of the research, the effects of foreign guest work, both in the narrower and broader sense, in Csíkszentkirály and its surroundings are investigated. The subject is very topical and of great importance today, but despite this, little information is available. This phenomenon has grown into a rapidly developing and important industry with a very significant impact on the population, which is why we believe it is important to record, monitor and analyse data on it. The reasons for going abroad are mostly economic, with the main objective being to earn as much income as possible. However, we suspect (and this is confirmed in the paper) that labour migration abroad has a significant and often surprising economic, emotional and social impact on the daily life of an individual, a family or a community. This impact may be direct or even indirect, but it affects the financial, emotional, social and community situation of an individual or community. It was also essential to examine whether working abroad is, in fact, essential to achieving a decent standard of living. After examining the results, it seems that, although not easy and much more challenging, working at home can help achieve these goals, but going abroad offers a much simpler, shorter and more spectacular result.

This study appraised the impact of the training programme (such a feed formulation, house preparation, brooding vaccination schedule, stocking density, litter application, types sorting and handling of eggs, record keeping and accounts) given to poultry farmers by the private sector. Obasanjo Farms Nigeria Limited was used as a case study. The study objectives were to investigate the sources of the information about the training programmes, identified training needs of participants, capture adoption techniques, ascertained training satisfaction level, ascertained property acquisition of beneficiaries before and after the training and identify constraints facing the participants. A simple random sampling technique was used for this study to obtain a sample size of 84. A set of questionnaires was used to elicit information from respondents. Data obtained were analyzed statistically. The study revealed that the majority (82.1%) were males with a mean age of 30years and mean the farming experience was two years. The major source of information was radio (52.4%). Training need such as feed formulation (66.9%) optimal on needs assessment rating. The majority (at medium level) adopted the training rendered on feed formulation, stocking density, brooding techniques, and medication techniques. Respondents were mostly satisfied with training given on brooding (mean = 3.4). The most serious constraint was the inadequate provision of starter packs to trainees. On before and after comparison, the T-test showed that there were significant differences between the various properties acquired after the training programme (p<0.05). The study concluded that trainees were satisfied with the training as it contributed to increased wellbeing. It was recommended that trainees should be equipped after training sessions to ensure best practices and food security.

Published: December 2024

Citrus family consists of a variety of eatable, consumable and usable items with varying nutritional contents. Naked eye citrus classification needs expert human effort, which provides poor decision reliability. The unreliable classification decision may be extremely hazardous when the citrus is being classified for exports or usage in pharmacy products and various food items. In this paper, citrus fruit has been classified on shape and texture features. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used as a methodology to explore statistical findings. The average accuracy of the system proposed is 84%. This system can be implemented on pharmacy stores, food production units, or industries, and citrus export centers for reliable citrus fruit classification.

The study was conducted at the Adaptive Research Farm in Sheikhupura, Punjab, Pakistan, over three crop seasons (Kharif-2020, 2021, and 2022). The goal was to assess both new and existing insecticides' effectiveness against leaf folders in rice crops. The results showed that all the experimental units treated with insecticides successfully reduced leaf folder damage and populations, with significant variations among them. Over three years, the insecticides Chlorantraniliprole, Flubendiamide, Fipronil, Gamma-cyhalothrin, and Lambda-cyhalothrin caused varying levels of pest mortality, ranging from 44.0% to 90.2%. Chlorantraniliprole had the most significant impact, with a mortality rate of 89.0% to 94.1%, followed by Flubendiamide (84.6% to 90.4%) and Fipronil (72.2% to 87.0%). Lambda-cyhalothrin had the lowest effect, with a mortality rate of 29.0% to 53.5% over the control treatment across all three years. The application of insecticides significantly improved grain yield, productive tillers, and paddy yield compared to the control. In terms of paddy yield, Chlorantraniliprole treatment had the highest production with yields of 4293.3, 3583.0, and 4540.0 kgha-1 in the years 2020, 2021, and 2022. It was followed by Flubendiamide (4166.7, 3566.7, and 4476.7 kgha-1) and Fipronil (4030.3, 3483.3, and 4493.3 kgha-1) for the respective years. The lowest paddy yield was observed in the check plot, with yields of 3650.0, 3200, and 3973.3 kgha-1 over the three consecutive crop seasons.

Access to credit had a substantial influence on farmers decisions, their income and the long-term sustainability of agriculture. This study investigated the impact of agricultural credit on farmers' income in Central Punjab, Pakistan. A conveniently chosen sample of 200 farmers from the Sargodha district was interviewed face-to-face on a structured, validated and reliable questionnaire. To explore the effect of agricultural credit along with different factors among small farmers, the Ordinary least Square (OLS) method was used. According to the results of the study for each unit increase in credit utilization, the predicted value of the dependent variable increases by approximately 6.691 units. This relationship is statistically significant at the 0.05 significance level. Other variables of age, family members and land ownership has also positive and significant impacts on the farmers' income while the variable of experience has a negative and significant impact. Policies should encourage responsible credit usage due to its proven positive and statistically significant effect on farmers' income. Such initiatives may include promoting financial literacy programs and ensuring access to affordable credit options. Agricultural credit adoption is influenced by various socioeconomic factors, which have a direct bearing on farmers' income. For the advancement of sustainable and inclusive agricultural development, policymakers should take these findings into account and design policies that facilitate credit accessibility, provide tailored financial education, and address the specific needs of diverse farming communities.

The financial risks and uncertainties undermine the capabilities of households to evade poverty traps. These uncertainties and risks cause income fluctuations and may have consequences on their livelihoods and welfare status. The households must recognize and manage these risks and uncertainties to guarantee smooth consumption at the household level. This study used a dataset of 130 households collected through face-to-face interviews from the district of Faisalabad of Punjab province in Pakistan. A logit model was employed to assess the impact of various socio-economic attributes, respondents’ risk perceptions and risk attitudes on their decisions to adopt financial risk management tools at the household level. The results revealed that the socio-economic attributes including age, education and income of the sampled households significantly influenced the decisions to adopt both the ex-ante and ex-post risk coping strategies to manage financial risks. The findings also highlighted the role of respondents’ perceptions associated with loss in business and illness of the primary breadwinner that affected respondents’ decisions to adopt risk management strategies in dealing with financial risks at the household level. The study recommends that the government and NGOs should educate the residents on how to safeguard themselves from financial risks by enabling them to use the available risk management tools more effectively.
