Authors: Ainorrofiqie  , An-Nisa Zhafarina Qashri
Published: November 2024

This research examines the paradigm of society in Daya Madura in relation to its tradition of begging. This study is based on the fact that begging is no longer just a temporary solution to their economic problems, but has become a permanent job to cope with the burden of life. Using a phenomenological approach, this study attempts to answer the main problem, namely the background of the beggar's life and the accounting motivations within it. In this study, the analysis is carried out to find out the financial management of beggars, and it can be done on the basis of the accounting equation, but in its application, not all the accounts included in the accounting equation are used in the financial management of the beggars' accounting. The accounting practice of beggars requires only approximate income and expenses. Also in this study, we can see that accounting not only focuses on calculation techniques and numbers, but also has value and importance.

Published: November 2024

Garlic is the second most important spice crop commercially cultivated next to onion in India. This study identified the costs, returns, profitability and constraints associated with garlic production in Kohima district of Nagaland, the second largest producer of garlic among the North-Eastern states of India. Ninety garlic farmers selected randomly from six villages two of which selected purposively from two blocks of Kohima participated the research. The average cost of garlic per hectare was ₹3.06 lakhs, yielding an average gross income of ₹6.23 lakhs. The primary cost components included seeds (67.71%), manures (14.30%), and human labor (12.20%). The average net income for all farmers was ₹2,72,283.06, with the highest income observed in medium farms. Most garlic farmers (84.50%) earned ₹1-2 lakhs annually from cultivation. The benefit-cost ratio was highest in marginal farms (2.48), followed by medium (2.44) and small farms (1.80). Key challenges identified using Garrett’s ranking technique included high labor costs, lack of technical knowledge, and insufficient funds. The research findings suggest that garlic cultivation holds promise as a feasible venture, particularly when considering the escalating labor expenses and the necessity for advanced expertise in garlic cultivation techniques and availing possible credit facilities to the farmers.

Authors: Bouillon Marvin L. , Stinson Jeffrey
Published: November 2024

After the final crisis in the late 2000s, universities were forced to find alternate funding sources to deal with budget deficits. Many universities looked at summer school programs as one option. This study focuses on how one College of Business and its University dealt with the issue. In our financial model, we incorporated tuition increases, a 28 percent tax on salaries and benefits, increases in faculty base pay, and other charges added by the University and its College of Business. The College of Business faculty’s summer school salaries and benefits represented 68.5 percent of the total tuition revenue generated in 2009 but dropped to 45.1 percent in 2018. The University’s (College of Business) portion went from 23.3 (8.2) percent to 30.1 (24.8) percent in 2018. Total faculty summer school pay negatively affected the accounting discipline more than the other areas in the College of Business. The accounting discipline experienced a 66.13 reduction in summer student credit hours from 2008 to 2018. Finally, the College of Business summer programs were negatively impacted more than the other colleges at the University.

Optimizing Cryptocurrency Investment Decisions Using Plithogenic Hypersoft Sets in MCDM
Authors: Fatukasi Kayode , Adebisi Sunday
Published: November 2024

This study explores the integration of Plithogenic Hypersoft Sets (PHSS) in Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) for cryptocurrency investment analysis. Given the volatile and unpredictable nature of the cryptocurrency market, traditional decision-making models often fail to capture the complexities and uncertainties present. By incorporating the advanced concept of PHSS, which accommodates multiple membership degrees (fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, neutrosophic), we propose a more robust framework for investment decision-making. The study normalizes cryptocurrency data and applies PHSS to a set of cryptocurrencies (e.g., BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, and XRP), analyzing key attributes such as price changes, market cap, volume, and circulating supply. Our results demonstrate that PHSS can enhance the accuracy and reliability of financial decision-making, providing valuable insights for investors.

Published: November 2024

The coast has natural protection, but if this natural protection is damaged, the coast can be
protected with coastal structures. Concrete is one of the main materials for coastal protection
structures such as breakwaters, jetties, groins and revetments. Concrete used in coastal
environments must have high strength performance to face the challenges of corrosive seawater,
high humidity, and extreme temperature changes. Tabas stone is a Basaltic Scoria stone resulting
from the eruption of Mount Agung which is used by the people of Bali as an ornament in Balinese
buildings. Tabas stone pieces that do not match the size are discarded and become waste. In this
study, tabas stone waste was used as an additional material for fine aggregate of 0%, 10%, 20%
with a concrete design compressive strength of 42 MPa. Cylindrical samples were produced then
soaked in the sea and at the river mouth. Furthermore, the samples were tested to be compared
with concrete samples with curing in standard water conditions at the age of 28 days. The test
results showed that the effect of seawater and brackish water immersion caused a significant
decrease in the compressive strength of the concrete. The addition of the percentage of tabas stone
also caused a decrease in the compressive strength of the concrete. Thus, tabas stone have small
potential to be used as an additional material for concrete filler for coastal building construction.

Published: November 2024

Tarihsel süreç içerisinde seramik, çeşitli ülkelerin yaşam biçimini ve kültürel özelliklerini yansıtan önemli bir element olmuştur. Joseon Hanedanlığı dönemi, buncheong seramiklerinin ortaya çıkışıyla bu alanda önemli bir dönemeçtir. Buncheong, kökenini Goryeo seladon geleneğinden almasına karşın bu geleneğin aristokratik ve incelikli zevkine kıyasla daha ham ve enerjik bir karaktere sahiptir. Buncheong seramikleri, Goryeo seladonlarının yüksek sınıfa has incelikli ifadesini aşarak halkın duygularını ve ifadelerini de içselleştiren yeni bir anlatım biçimini hayata geçirir. Sıradan insanların yaşamını yansıttığı için günlük yaşam ve sanat arasındaki etkileşimi canlı bir şekilde sunmaktadır. Günümüzde bu seramikler, modern anlatım tarzlarıyla birçok sanatçı tarafından yeniden ele alınmakta ve geniş bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Bu durum, buncheong seramiklerinin dünya seramik tarihi açısından taşıdığı önemi vurgulamaktadır. Bu çalışma, Buncheong seramiklerini teknik ve estetik yönleriyle ele alarak detaylı bir inceleme sunmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, bu eşsiz seramiklerin yapısal işçilik ve tarihsel bağlamdaki özelliklerini aydınlatmaktır.
Hieronymus Bosch'un "Dünyevi Zevkler Bahçesi" Triptiğindeki Hayvan İmgeleri
Authors: Yenigeldi Merve
Published: November 2024

Batı resim sanatında zaman içerisinde dönüşümler geçirdiği gözlemlenen hayvan imgesi; sembolik, alegorik veya metaforik ifade biçimlerinde dönemin düşünsel altyapısına dair işaretler bırakır. Hayvan imgesi, Orta Çağ’da Hristiyanlık öğretisini yaymak ve dini mesajlar aşılamak amacı ile kullanılmaya başlar. Orta Çağ’dan Rönesans’a geçiş döneminde bilimin önem kazanması, hayvanlara yönelik yeni yaklaşımlar getirse de Orta Çağ’ın fantastik dünyası ilgi çekmeye devam eder. Erken dönem Rönesans resmi içerisinde konumlandırılan Hieronymus Bosch, Orta Çağ’ın fantastik varlıkları ile hayvanları betimleyerek gerçeküstü bir dünya yaratmıştır. Bu makalede, Bosch’un “Dünyevi Zevkler Bahçesi” triptiğindeki hayvan imgelerinden hareketle oluşturduğu görsel dilin temellerinin irdelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmış olup, araştırmanın kapsamı Orta Çağ ve Rönesans sanatı ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Bosch’un hayvan temsilleri odağında seçilmiş olan görseller, her bir panel için ayrı başlık altında değerlendirilmiş ve sembolizmi üzerine önermelerde bulunulmuştur. Bu çalışma, Bosch’un hayvan imgeleri üzerinden Orta Çağ ile Rönesans arasındaki geçiş dönemine bir bakış sunmaktadır.

The Road to Tyranny: Analyzing the Shift from Communism to Totalitarianism in Orwell’s Animal Farm
Authors: Kahik Eman Anwar
Published: November 2024

This research was written in the light of a Marxist theoretical framework to discuss problems ingrained within society and politics. The main goal of the study was to tie together the terms: Communism and Totalitarianism and to describe the relationship between them. The second goal was to explore the transition from Communism to Totalitarianism in George Orwell's Animal Farm. The research dived into how power resulted in the corruption of leaders and therefore resulted in the start of a Totalitarian regime. It showed the impact of communism on societies and the dangers that totalitarianism brings upon them. The reason behind the selection of this topic is that it can be applied globally and at any point in time. These objectives were verified using the analytical approach by analyzing the allegorical elements of the novella and referencing previous scholarly works. The study concluded with the results that the hold of power is mainly the thing that transforms the political system from communism to totalitarianism. Furthermore, propaganda, language manipulation, and historical alteration are the methods that tyrants use to enforce their rule. The results emphasize the significance of George Orwell's Animal Farm as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power and the fragility of democratic ideals.

Authors: Xiao Mingqi
Published: November 2024

Brand building of agricultural products can not only bring direct economic benefits to cooperatives, but also improve the internal environment of cooperatives through large-scale and standardized production and operation, as well as improve the external industry and market environment through regional brand building of agricultural products, while cooperatives can improve their own social service system in brand building. And promote the development of local tourism and service industry through the exploration and publicity of the cultural attributes of the brand. However, the brand construction of cooperative agricultural products is faced with many difficulties, such as weak brand awareness of members, lack of professional personnel, difficult quality and safety supervision under decentralized production and management mode and poor competitiveness of individual brands, outdated production and marketing mode, and imperfect financial services matching brand construction. This paper analyzes the difficulties encountered by cooperatives in brand building and puts forward construction measures, and holds that relevant departments should strengthen the cultivation of brand awareness of cooperatives; Cooperatives should increase the reserve and training of professional personnel, individual cooperatives should rely on the scale and resource advantages brought by regional brand building or association to carry out their own brand building, and at the same time use modern marketing means to expand their own sales channels; The government should regulate the operation of financial institutions and increase the popularity of agricultural insurance.
The Impact of Leisure Time Allocation on Human Capital Accumulation in High School Students: A Study on Health and Academic Performance
Authors: Zhang Qiyue
Published: November 2024

Human capital is a critical resource for economic development, and its accumulation depends not only on academic performance but also on physical and mental health. Therefore, understanding how leisure time allocation influences human capital accumulation is essential. This study, based on a survey of 51 high school students, examines the effects of online and offline leisure activities on their health and academic performance. The results indicate that excessive online leisure time is associated with lower physical activity levels, higher BMI, and increased risk of myopia, all of which have significant negative impacts. Although the sample size is relatively small and there is little variation in academic performance, some students may have overestimated their academic achievements in the questionnaire, making it difficult to clearly reflect the effect of leisure time on academic outcomes. Overall, a balanced allocation of leisure time, integrating both online and offline activities, contributes to better physical and mental health, thus promoting comprehensive human capital development. The study suggests that schools encourage students to balance their leisure time, make reasonable use of the internet, and engage in physical activities to improve both health and academic outcomes.

Fen bilimleri ders kitapları sürdürülebilir çevre eğitiminin amaçlarını gerçekleştirmek için ilköğretim müfredatında kazanım, beceri, tutum ve değerlerin öğrencilere aktarılmasında önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu araştırmada incelenen 4. sınıf fen bilimleri ders kitaplarının sürdürülebilir çevre eğitimi açısından öğrencilere aktarılan bilgilerin daha çok üç adet ünite içerisinde yoğunlaştığı, bütün ünitelere yayılmış ders kitabının tamamını kapsayan bir içeriğin bulunmadığı görülmüştür. Bunun yanında konuların daha çok bilgi içerikli olduğu, kitap içeriklerinin öğrencilerde sürdürülebilirlik kavramına karşı tutum ve davranış geliştirmede yetersiz oldukları sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu bakımdan disiplinler arası iş birliği ile bütün ders kitaplarında sistematik olarak ilerleyen, öğrenciyi merkeze alan, yaşayarak öğrenmeye ve kalıcı davranış değişikliklerine fırsat tanıyan bir değişimin sağlanması yerinde bir girişim olacaktır.

Authors: Jácome Carvajal Joselyn Paola , Rodríguez Pérez Mayra Lucía
Published: November 2024

La adolescencia es una etapa de múltiples desafíos a nivel biopsicosocial, se considera a la inteligencia emocional como la habilidad de reconocer y comprender las propias emociones y las de los demás. Así mismo, la adaptación social, implica la capacidad de formar relaciones positivas, cumplir con las normas y expectativas sociales. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la relación entre inteligencia emocional y adaptación social en adolescentes de 12 a 18 años. Se utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo con diseño no experimental y de alcance correlacional. Para evaluar inteligencia emocional, se manejó el Inventario de Inteligencia Emocional de Bar-On: versión para jóvenes, para adaptación social, se evaluó mediante la Escala Autoaplicada de Adaptación Social (SASS). Los resultados indicaron que en ambas variables predominó el nivel adecuado: 64.4% en inteligencia emocional y el 88.1% en adaptación social, no existe diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre la media de hombres M=78.1 y mujeres M= 79.1 (U = 1135, p>0.05) y no existe una correlación significativa entre las dos variables en este grupo de adolescentes (Rho =0.127 , p>0.05). Esto sugiere que los niveles de inteligencia emocional, se mantienen independientes ante la adaptación social, lo que implica que no están directamente relacionados en este estudio.

Penelitian ini mengkaji penerapan Internet of Things (IoT) dalam sistem monitoring kesehatan melalui tinjauan literatur yang mendalam. Inovasi dalam perangkat wearable, platform cloud, dan algoritma analitik memungkinkan pengumpulan data fisiologis secara real-time, pemantauan jarak jauh, dan deteksi dini anomali kesehatan. Implementasi teknologi ini telah menunjukkan hasil yang menjanjikan, seperti akurasi tinggi dalam pengukuran parameter kesehatan, efektivitas dalam mendeteksi kondisi kritis, dan peningkatan akses terhadap perawatan kesehatan untuk populasi yang kurang terlayani. Namun, adopsi sistem monitoring kesehatan berbasis IoT menghadapi beberapa tantangan, termasuk keamanan data, interoperabilitas, dan validasi klinis. Untuk memaksimalkan potensi teknologi ini, penelitian masa depan perlu difokuskan pada penguatan keamanan dan privasi data pasien. Dengan memanfaatkan kemajuan teknologi seperti Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), dan integrasi Electronic Health Records (EHR), sistem monitoring ke6sehatan berbasis IoT dapat mencapai potensi penuh mereka dalam mentransformasi perawatan kesehatan dan memberdayakan individu untuk mengambil peran proaktif dalam mengelola kesehatan.

Penerapan teknologi baru dapat mendorong siswa untuk giat belajar dan tidak mudah menyerah jika menemui kesulitan dalam belajar. Fisika merupakan salah satu mata pelajaran di sekolah menengah pertama, dan siswa dituntut untuk menerapkan apa yang telah dipelajari secara praktis. Pembelajaran Fisika terdiri dari banyak materi, salah satunya adalah materi asam basa. Materi asam basa di pelajari oleh siswa kelas tujuh SMP Negeri Alok belum memiliki fasilitas laboratorium yang memadai untuk praktikum sehingga perlu dibuat media pembelajaran Virtual Lab yang interaktif . Metode yang digunakan dalam merancang aplikasi Virtual Lab Fisika Asam Basa yaitu MDLC (Multimedia Development Life Cycle). Aplikasi Virtual Lab ini kemudian diuji oleh guru dan ahli media, dimana aplikasi Virtual Lab Asam Basa yang dikembangkan tergolong kriteria “layak dan tanpa perlu revisi” dengan skor rata-rata keseluruhan 90% dengan pengujian blackbox sehingga media pembelajaran ini memenuhi aspek kevalidan. Aplikasi Virtual Lab Asam Basa yang menyajikan langkah-langkah yang dapat dipraktekkan oleh pengguna dengan cara mensimulasikan percobaan dan mengikuti petunjuk penggunaan dan aplikasi Virtual Lab dapat diakses melalui android.

Published: November 2024

K-Means dan K-Medoids digunakan untuk menilai indikator sosial ekonomi dan kesehatan di Provinsi Jawa Timur tahun 2023 melalui metode klasterisasi. Dengan menggunakan Principal Component Analysis (PCA) untuk mereduksi dimensi variabel, penelitian ini mengelompokkan wilayah berdasarkan karakteristik sosial ekonomi dan kesehatan. Data yang dianalisis termasuk angka harapan hidup, tingkat kemiskinan, pengangguran, dan akses ke layanan kesehatan. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada kombinasi unik antara PCA dan K-Medoids untuk menghasilkan klaster yang lebih akurat dan robust terhadap outlier, dibandingkan metode yang biasanya hanya menggunakan satu teknik klasterisasi atau tidak melibatkan reduksi dimensi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa K-Medoids dengan PCA menghasilkan klaster yang lebih koheren dan terpisah daripada K-Means, terutama dalam menangani outlier. Menurut metode Elbow dan Silhouette, empat hingga lima klaster adalah pilihan terbaik. PCA meningkatkan akurasi dan efisiensi klasterisasi dengan mengurangi kompleksitas data, yang menghasilkan klaster yang lebih baik Diharapkan temuan ini akan membantu pemerintah membuat kebijakan yang lebih baik untuk mengatasi ketimpangan kesehatan dan sosial ekonomi di Jawa Timur.

This study involved 832 freshmen students enrolled in the course Introduction to Agriculture from 2009 to 2014 from the College of Agriculture and Food Science and the College of Human Ecology, University of the Philippines Los Baños, to determine the perception of youth towards the field of agriculture and its degree program. Using quantitative parameters and correlation analysis, the relationship between the demographic characteristics and the freshmen’s perception towards agriculture was determined. Students’ demographic characteristics (age and gender) are positively correlated with the student's perception of agriculture. Initially, the majority (58.3%) of the freshmen have a negative attitude towards the agriculture program. As a student's in-depth knowledge of the agriculture field increases, their perception and idea of the program is also positively influenced. Contrary to the popular belief that agriculture is a male-dominated field, the majority of the students enrolled in the course are female (63%). Recommendations to make Agriculture more attractive to youth through information dissemination (i.e. ICT-based modalities, infomercials) and interactive campaign will promote the discipline in an effort to increase the interest of the youth and subsequently, the popularity of the program.

A laboratory-scale closed dynamic air flow system was carried out to assess the effect of enriched rice husk biochar on ammonia volatilization, soil exchangeable ammonium, and available nitrate from the applied urea in comparison to urea alone under waterlogged conditions. Treatments with enriched rice husk biochar (5, 10, 15, and 20 t ha-1) significantly minimized ammonia volatilization, however, only biochar with rates of 5, 10, and 15 t ha-1 had significantly retained more soil exchangeable ammonium by 14% – 43%. Additionally, soil available nitrate was lower in all treatments except in T1 (urea alone). This indicates that enriched rice husk biochar minimizes ammonia volatilization, retains more ammonium, and slows down the conversion of ammonium to nitrate under a waterlogged environment. Mixing urea with rice husk biochar at rates of 5 t ha-1 and 10 t ha-1 offers a significant advantage over urea alone by minimizing ammonia volatilization by > 33.8% over urea alone. The mixture successfully increased retention of ammonium ions and has the potential to minimize ammonia loss and increase nitrogen availability in the soil.
