Objective: Numerous studies have emphasized the web of factors contributing to a driver’s vulnerability to road accidents. These factors often stem from the interaction between drivers’ conduct, environmental conditions, and vehicle-related aspects. Among these elements, road rage and aggressive driving behavior are particularly noteworthy for their roles in road accidents. In this article, we delve into the connection between road rage, aggressive driving, and their combined impact on the likelihood of road accidents among Malaysian drivers.
 
Theoretical framework: Theoretical materials were based on international scientific publications, reports, and scientific papers. Empirical findings from previous studies were critically reviewed for a more complete and objective presentation of the road accident problem.
 
Methodology: This study used a cross-sectional design to administer self-administered questionnaires to drivers. The survey method made it possible to study the factors influencing susceptibility to traffic accidents quantitatively. The analysis reveals compelling insights using a rigorous structural equation modeling approach.
 
Results and Conclusion: Driving anger and aggressive driving significantly influence the likelihood of road accidents among Malaysian drivers. This study holds significant implications for theoretical understanding and practical intervention strategies to reduce road accident proneness within the Malaysian road user community. The findings provide valuable insights and recommendations to enhance road safety, ultimately contributing to the sustainability of communities through reduced road accidents.
 
Originality/value: The originality and value of the study lie in its in-depth examination of the relationship between driving anger, aggressive driving, and the likelihood of road accidents among Malaysian drivers. It goes beyond existing research by employing a rigorous structural equation modelling approach, drawing from international scientific publications and empirical findings. This comprehensive approach offers fresh insights into the specific context of Malaysia and provides a foundation for practical interventions to reduce road accident proneness, contributing to community sustainability and road safety.

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS OF THE POULTRY SECTOR IN POLAND OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS
Authors: Kowalska Anna , Olszańska Anna , Szymańska Joanna , Paskudzka Klaudia
Published: December 2023

The research aimed to assess the changes that have occurred in the Polish export and import of poultry and the industry’s competitiveness. The analysis covered the years 2003 and 2022 and was carried out based on Eurostat data. The analysis included, among others, the value and balance of turnover, geographical structure, and selected competitiveness indicators. The leading importers of Polish poultry are the European Union countries. Poland has a comparative advantage mainly in the case of the EU market, which is confirmed by the increasing values of the TC and SI indicators and the decreasing HHI indicator. The obtained SI index values show that Poland had an apparent specialization in the export of poultry sector products to the markets of Great Britain, Bulgaria, Ireland, and Malta. The downward trend of the HHI index indicates the diversification of exports, which is a positive phenomenon as it provides the Polish poultry sector with stable revenues despite emerging turbulence. The reason for such a large increase in exports to EU countries was essentially the abolition of customs duties, attractive prices, and good quality of Polish products. Despite the substantial price advantages of Polish products and the favorable structure of comparative advantage indexes, poultry producers in Poland should constantly monitor the market environment. Attractively priced products offered by Ukraine, Brazil, and Thailand may harm the Polish export of these products in the coming years.

Authors: Standar Aldona , Zielińska Joanna
Published: December 2023

The main purpose of the study was to evaluate selected determinants of life insurance purchase. The subjects of the study were adult individuals, while the subjects were life insurance. The source of data was primarily primary material obtained in 2022-2023 through a questionnaire survey. (104 responses were received). Data were processed using ꭓ2 statistical tests and Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric analysis of variance. Cross-tabulation included analysis of responses by gender, education, place, and monthly net income per person in the household. The mentioned determinants differentiated the responses in a statistically significant way. The results proved that as many as 81% of respondents had one insurance policy. The number of individual insurance policies only slightly exceeded the group form of insurance. Importantly, among the insured there were both old customers (insurance for more than 5 years) and new customers (1 year or up to 1 year). Respondents spend relatively low amounts on premiums but are satisfied with this protection. Factors influencing the purchase of these insurances were the desire to protect relatives in case of death, a general sense of security, the fact of having protection itself, and support in case of illness or invalidity.
RETURN ON ASSETS IN FARMS AND THE CONTEXT OF ECONOMIC RATIONALITY IN POLAND AND SELECTED EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES
Authors: Grzelak Aleksander
Published: December 2023

The main aim of the article is to evaluate the rate of return on assets in farms from the perspective of economic rationality. The research concerned farms covered by the FADN system in Poland and 25 European Union countries. The temporal scope of the analyses referred to the period 2010-2020. As a general rule, in the EU countries, the market rate of return is higher compared to that achieved on average by farms. This is especially true for smaller farms. From the perspective of the neoclassical approach, this would indicate an irrational operation. Farmers implement a multi-criteria objective function. In doing so, they agree to achieve relatively lower agricultural income in exchange for diversification of risk, an increase in asset value, or meeting household needs (not only consumption). Agricultural producers become more wealthy due to the increase in land prices. Hence, from this perspective, farmers’ actions could be seen as rational, which is more in line with the classical view in economic theory, where the aim of subjects to maximize wealth by units was emphasized. Therefore, the achievement of low rates of return by agricultural producers in a situation where agricultural income does not provide a fee for the farm family members’ own labor should not be evaluated unequivocally as a manifestation of a lack of rationality.
THE IMPACT OF ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL SHOCKS ON POLISH FARMS IN 2010-2019
Authors: Jurek Kinga Anna
Published: December 2023

The research aimed to determine the level of robustness of Polish farms on the example of selected economic and environmental shocks. The current state of knowledge about the concept of resilience is presented, and a research gap regarding the measurement of resilience is identified. Based on the available literature, it was indicated what economic and environmental shocks Polish farms were exposed to in 2010-2019. Then, robustness indicators available in the literature were used to determine the level of resilience of individual groups of farms, divided by type of production. The indicators were calculated based on publicly available data from the FADN database and were related to the dynamics of profitability of economic units. The study showed that the impact of the indicated shocks is noticeable. Moreover, it was found that most of the surveyed farms were able to return to astable state within a year of the shock, indicating that they could be considered resilient. Based on the research conducted, it can be concluded that farms dealing with permanent crops are the most resilient to economic and environmental shocks.

Authors: Kiryluk-Dryjska Ewa , Rani Anshu
Published: December 2023

The objective of the study is to gather studies related to neural correlates that are used in agriculture and food economics. We classified and codified those studies to describe all of the contributions and to present the future prospects of neuroeconomics in the field of agriculture and food economics. A systematic literature review was carried out for this study to consolidate all of the relevant studies in one place. With the use of IEEE Xplore, Wiley Online Library, Taylor & Francis, Elsevier, Scopus and Sage, 190 records were identified and after a full text examination, 18 articles were selected for final review. Three major thematic areas viz: focus, method and field of study were identified and sub-classified into further classifications. In this systematic review, there were substantial evidence of the use of neuro tools such as the Eye Tracker (ET) and the electroencephalogram (EEG) in the field of agriculture and food economics. However, their application is still rare, creating significant opportunities for further research development in this direction.
PROBLEMS OF ORGANIC AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE FARMERS’ OPINION
Authors: Łuczka Władysława
Published: December 2023

The aim of the article was to determine the main problems of organic farming and to evaluate the support policy towards organic farming. The research distinguished three groups of organic farmers: committed, pragmatic, and pragmatic-involved, and then determined the differences and similarities of these groups concerning the identified problems and limitations in the development of organic farming and the assessment of support policy. In this study used qualitative survey methods conducted among 154 organic farms. The research results found that although farmers are interested in producing products using organic methods, they encounter significant difficulties: agrotechnical (related to weed infestation of agricultural fields), institutional, and market difficulties. The research has proven that the group of pragmatic farmers differs from the engaged and pragmatic-involved groups in terms of motives, as well as in the assessment of agricultural policy and the problems of developing organic farming. At the level of agricultural policy, there is a need to increase institutional and legal efficiency and establish a long-term strategy for developing organic agriculture. This study can be used to design a more effective policy for the growth of organic agriculture by public administration entities involved in its implementation.

Authors: TORSHIZI M ELAHI , MASHHADI M HOSSEINPOUR
Published: December 2023

Monthly test day records (morning, noon and night milk; 470,829) from 49,675 Iranian Holstein over 603 herds were used to study the characteristics of genetic parameters of milk yield at different milking times and evaluation of persistency in different milking times. According to the results, residual variance is high at the beginning of lactation(4.70 kg) and gradually decreases till the end of lactation in different milking times. Also the additive genetic variance increases till the end of lactation (especially morning milk and estimates are lower at the beginning of lactation (0.35 kg). Permanent environmental variance shows moderate increase, with peak value at the end of lactation. The trends of heritability at different milking times are similar but the morning milk has higher heritability during 260 to 290 days. Peak time of milk yield for morning time was 79 days but for noon and night milking curves was at 62 and 90 DIM. Genetic correlations of different milking times between test days as well as permanent environmental correlation of higher value (close to unity) in adjacent period but decreased with increasing period among test day yield. Morning milk yield was higher compared to noon and night milk but night milk curve showed better persistency.

The main objective of the work was to study gross and morphometry of the scapula of Indian elephant. The fore and hind limbs of the elephant were arranged in an almost vertical position under the body, similar to a pillar or leg of a table rather than being in the angular position seen in many other quadruped mammals to support great weight. The aim of this study was to elucidate the osteological outline on the bones of fore limb in Elephants. Three Indian elephants were used, along with some of the specimens available at the Department of Veterinary Anatomy, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Mhow. It was seen that scapula had two surfaces (lateral and medial), three borders (Cranial border, caudal border and dorsal border) and three angles (cranial, caudal and glenoid). The lateral surface was divided into two unequal fossa by a prominent scapular spine. The height of the scapular spine was lowest in the proximal part, but it increased towards the distal part, and was maximum towards near the acromion process. In the medial surface, a large subscapular fossa was present. The dorsal border was formed by the union of lateral and medial surfaces towards the vertebral column.

Authors: THANGADURAI R , SIVAKUMAR K , VENNILA M A
Published: December 2023

Dharmapuri rural farmers were aware about TANUVAS Aseel strains of backyard poultry and had experience of rearing TANUVAS Aseel chicks trained by KVK, Dharmapuri. About 23.6% of the farmers have discontinued the practice due to lack of awareness about brooding and non-availability of chicks and 22.03% of the farmers did not followed the practice because of low preference andpredator attack. Farmers preferred TANUVAS Aseel strain of backyard poultry for meat and egg purpose, who fetch meat cost @ ₹400/kg. Therefore, KVK, VUTRC and Animal Husbandary sector should aid supportive services like brooding, vaccination, feeding, housing, marketing of these birds to the farmers in order to encourage backyard poultry farmers. Conclusively, extension activity should be strengthened for efficient transfer of technology from the laboratory to the farmer field.

Published: December 2023

Randomly selected 76 pullets of RIR selected strain were screened for microsatellite polymorphs and investigated for their association with layer economic traits. Microsatellite alleles were separated from genomic DNA samples through 3.4% MetaPhor® agarose gel electrophoresis. Data were recorded on age at first egg (AFE), egg weights and egg production (EP) at certain age. Microsatellite analysis revealed nine polymorphic loci (EW) and genotypes at ADL0020 locus were significantly associated with EP at 40 and 64 weeks of age, CC (110 bp/110 bp) genotype had the highest EP, whereas, AD (126 bp/102 bp) and BD (118 bp/102 bp) genotypes recorded the lowest EP. Genotypes at ADL0023 locus were associated with AFE, EP at 40 weeks of age, CC (176 bp/176 bp) genotype followed by AB (202bp/188bp) genotype had earlier AFE, whereas, AC (202bp/176bp) genotype followed by BB (188bp/188bp) genotype demonstrated late AFE. ADL0210 locus had significant impact on AFE, egg weight at 28/40/64 weeks of age; BB (124bp/124bp) genotype followed by AA (132 bp/132 bp) genotype had earlier AFE than AB (132 bp/124 bp) genotype. Both AB and AA genotypes revealed significantly higher egg weight at 28/40/64 weeks of age than BB genotype. The BB (176 bp/176 bp) genotype followed by AB (192 bp/176 bp) genotype at MCW0014 locus revealed higher egg weight at 28 weeks of age in comparison to AA (192bp/192bp) genotype. Allele C (110 bp) at ADL0020 and A (132 bp) at ADL0210 either in homozygous or heterozygous condition were linked to the traits of egg weight and egg production performance, respectively. The results might impact on genomic selection aided poultry breeding programme.

Published: December 2023

The present experiment aimed to establish the efficacy of dietary inclusion of a novel feed supplement on plane of nutrition, milk yield, and its characteristics, reproductive events and circulating concentrations of reproductive hormones in dairy cows during early lactation. Twelve post-partum crossbred lactating cows were equally and randomly assigned to two dietary treatments for 90 days. The cows in CON (control) group were fed on green fodder and wheat straw-based diet with concentrate mixture, whereas, cows in NFS (Novel Feed Supplement) group were fed according to CON group with additional novel feed supplement @0.25% of BW. A comparative study of plane of nutrition revealed that both DCP and TDN were deficient in CON by 12.0 and 18.99%, respectively, however, it was sufficient in NFS group. The daily and total milk yield (kg), 4% FCM, ECM, fat and protein yields (g/d) were improved in NFS than CON group. The average composition of milk showed no significant difference throughout the study. The supplement fed cows had an evident early return of heat (26.20 d in NFS v/s 42.60 d in CON) with enhanced conception rate (66.7% in NFS v/s 50% in CON). The estradiol concentration (pg/ml) was reduced and progesterone concentration (ng/ml) was enhanced in NFS fed cows. In conclusion, incorporation of the novel feed supplement @0.25% of BW significantly improved the plane of nutrition, milk production and reproduction in lactating crossbred cows during the early post-partum period.

Published: December 2023

In this study, a total 240 Vencobb strain broiler chicks were randomly divided into 3 groups. The broilers fed with basal diet were kept as control group (C), while T1 and T2 groups broilers were fed with zinc oxide nanoparticles @45 mg/kg and @90 mg/kg of basal diet, respectively. Eight chicks out of each group were sacrificed at an interval of 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days and tissue samples from different parts of small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) from each bird were collected, processed, stained and studied for various micrometrical parameters. Histomorphometrical parameters of small intestines showed significantly increasing trend with the advancing age in control, T1 and T2 groups. Significantly higher histomorphometrical parameters of small intestines were recorded inzinc oxide nano-particle supplemented groups when compared to control. Zinc oxide nanoparticle supplementation @90 mg/kg diet in feed of broilers significantly improved histomorphometric characteristics, viz. villus height of duodenum, jejunum and ileum; villus width of ileum, width of muscularis laminae in duodenum and ileum and height of epithelial cells in all three segments of small intestine. Therefore, it is concluded that zinc oxide nanoparticle can be used as a diet supplement for increasing the overall performance in broiler chicks during their growth period, however, supplementation of zinc oxide nanoparticle @90 mg/kg gave better result in broilers for overall better performance.

Akhir tahun 2015, Swedia menerima arus penggunsi secara massal untuk   mendapatkan perlindungan. Swedia sebagai negara yang sangat menjunjung tinggi kesejahteraan harus berdepan dengan tantangan yang luar biasa karena Swedia terkenal sebagai negara yang terbuka terhadap pengungsi. Di balik sikap Swedia yang terbuka terhadap pengungsi, tidak pernah menyangka bahwa arus pengungsi yang terjadi menjadi ancaman non-tradisional terhadap keamanan negara. Perjanjian Schengen yang telah ditandatangai Swedia membuat sistem open-border bagi negara anggota diberlakukan  tetapi dengan adanya ancaman yang terjadi bagi keamanan dan kestabilan kesejahteraan negara Swedia mengubah kepada u-turn policy. Sikap tegas Swedia terhadap pengungsi ini membuat kebijakan dan aturan baru bagi mengawasi dan mengawal dari masuknya pengungsi yang berlebihan. Sekuritisasi merupakan salah satu tindakan yang dilakukan Swedia sebagai langkah awal bagi mengatasi masalah lonjakan pengungsi yang terjadi ini.

Asteraceae is known as the largest family of flowering plants. Despite some species members being invasive plants, these species are often adopted and utilized by local community groups for food, traditional medicine, and other uses. In our ethnobotanical study of Asteraceae, we identified ways a local Sundanese community group in West Java utilizes a diverse range of species in the family for different purposes. Our study focuses on a Sundanese village called Cihanjawar, located in the regency of Purwakarta, using ethnobotany and ethnomedicine approaches. People of Cihanjawar utilize some species of Asteraceae for food as ‘lalapan’ and traditional medicinal purposes. In-depth, semi-structured interviews with the people of Cihanjawar were conducted to collect primary data regarding the utilization of Asteraceae species as food and traditional medicine. A total of eight species of Asteraceae were found during the field-guided exploration in Cihanjawar Village, which include Acmella paniculata, Ageratum conyzoides, Calyptocarpus vialis, Crassocephalum crepidioides, Dichrocepala integrifolia, Emilia sonchifolia, Erechtites valerianifolia, Sphagneticola trilobata, some of which are considered invasive alien species. The species of A. paniculata, C. crepidioides, E. sonchifolia, Er. valerianifolia is eaten as a raw food (lalapan, Ind.). Then Ag. Conyzoides and C. crepidioides are utilized in traditional medicine. C. vialis, D. integrifolia, and Sphagneticola trilobata are not used by the people of Cihanjawar as food or as traditional medicine.
