Congregational faith as the final destination: Balanced scorecard as measurement tool of church performance
Authors: Zapo Feliana , Meiden Carmel
Published: June 2022

In this study, the authors use the balanced scorecard to measure performance by considering the balance between the financial and non-financial, in the short and long term, that involve internal and external factors. The balanced scorecard has four perspectives. They are customer, financial, business process, and learning and growth perspectives. The authors use an ethnography approach to accompany the measurement. The research object is Church X which operates in the spiritual field. The information listed is factual that are obtained from documentation, in-depth interviews, informal interviews, and observations. This research uses a step-by-step analysis using Spradley's twelve steps applied on the domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, component analysis, and cultural theme analysis. An ethnographical adjustment is required in the analysis. The study reveals that Church X produces five cultural themes and three new multi-aspects perspectives. All the perspectives are satisfied and therefore, Church X’s performance is high.
Anticipated emotions of significant others as social influence: Can they predict students’ smoking abstinence continuance intention?
Authors: Bilson Simamora
Published: June 2022

In the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991), subjective norms (SN) represent social influence on an individual's behavior. This famous model of behavior postulates that an individual is under pressure or expectation of significant others to perform or not to perform a behavior.  This study starts from the premise that an individual can take the initiative and regulate his or her behavior to generate anticipated emotion of significant others’ (AESO). The question is, can the AESO function as the SN to represent the social factor in influencing students' smoking abstinence continuance intention?  To answer this question, the author conducts the study upon 235 non-smoker students. The result is; first, negative AESO can carry out that function. However, positive AESO and SN fail to do so. Therefore, besides the SN, as shown by this study, the AESO, represented by negative AESO, can be regarded as a social influence component of an individual's behavioral intention. Other researchers are encouraged to validate this finding in different contexts of behavior.
Adapting Technology Adoption Model to detect intention to use tiket.com’s online ticketing application
Authors: Ekatyas Eka Lestari , Dergibson Siagian
Published: June 2022

The Technologies Adoption Model is a popular tool for determining whether or not a person intends to accept new technology. However, this paradigm is only used in a few research for internet-based interactive technologies. The authors argue that, in addition to perceived simplicity of use and utility, the application content has a significant influence in increasing use intention for this technology. Trust, not attitude, should play a role in the mediation, as described in the original plan. To verify this conceptual framework, the authors use WrapPLS to analyze data from 155 respondents using structural equation modeling. According to the findings, the three antecedents have a favorable and significant direct effect on purchase intent. It's also confirmed that trust has an indirect influence. Aside from the system's utility, confidence, and convenience of use, the authors advise that ticket vendors present intriguing application content. Future research can look into the aspects that determine how well the system works.
Does Fraud Pentagon cause financial report manipulation?
Authors: Crisna Ellen , Appriwenni Prima
Published: June 2022

The most visible measure of a company's health is its financial reports. This critical function may motivate management to engage in fraudulent activities to impress that the company is constantly in good shape and profitable. As a result, the information is distorted and potentially jeopardizes investment decisions. Therefore, it is crucial to find a way to detect that deviant behavior. This research aims to fulfill this requirement. Using the period of 2017-2019 as the sample timeframe, the authors pay attention to the IDX30 version companies listed on the IDX. Financial statement fraud, financial stability, financial targets, industry type, poor supervision, auditor turnover, change of directors, and the frequency of appearance of CEO images are the variables under investigation. The secondary data from 48 units of analysis were analyzed using logistic regression. Financial stability and industry structure have a significant effect on financial statement fraud. Other variables under investigation have little effect.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the differences in users’ intentions to like, comment and share lifestyle brand-related content on social media based on the social capital focus. In this paper, social capital is conceptualized as a positive outcome of users’ interaction on social media, focusing on bonding and bridging dimensions of social capital. However, in order to examine the differences in intentions to like, comment and share between social media users with bridging and bonding focus, social capital is analyzed as a cause of social media engagement in terms of liking, commenting and sharing brand-related content on social media. A survey with social media users was carried out, using questionnaires as a method of data collection. A data set of 415 effective responses is collected and factor analysis and ANOVA test was used. The respondents were divided into two groups: social media users with bridging focus and with bonding focus. The results of factor analysis identified the factors as conceptualized in the literature. The results of ANOVA test indicated existence of significant differences in intentions to like, to share and to comment lifestyle brand-related content depending on the social media users’ social capital focus. Social media users with bridging focus showed stronger intentions to like, share and comment lifestyle brand-related content comparing to social media users with bonding focus. The findings of this research study may help social media marketing managers to successfully design and implement effective lifestyle brand-related content depending on the users’ social capital focus.

Effect of Stenotic Height on Lipid Concentrated Blood Flow through a Microchannel in The Presence of Magnetic Field
Authors:   MMDARG, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Federal University Otuoke, Nigeria, Bunonyo K. W.
Published: June 2022

In this article, we develop mathematical models for blood momentum, energy equation with lipid concentration, and lipid concentration equation, all of which are subjected to an oscillatory boundary at the channel's upper wall. Using the oscillatory conditions, the governing models were scaled to a set of dimensionless models and reduced to an ordinary differential equation. The reduced perturbed equations were directly solved, yielding blood velocity, temperature, and lipid concentration profiles. Using Wolfram Mathematica, version 10, the obtained flow profiles were coded by varying some of the important biophysical parameters. Conclusively, it is noticed that the thermal Grashof number and solutal Grashof number increase caused the blood velocity to increase; the concentration source parameter increase also increased the blood velocity. Furthermore, the velocity decreases with the increase in the Hartman and Schmidt numbers, respectively. Further investigation revealed that increasing the height of stenosis and lipid source parameter increases the temperature profile, but increasing radiation absorption, Prandtl number, oscillatory frequency, and womersley number decreases the temperature of the fluid. These findings are of great interest to mathematicians, physicists, and other researchers working on blood flow issues and the development of medical prosthetic devices.

Authors: Hadiyanto Hadiyanto , Sulistyo Urip , Noferdiman Noferdiman
Published: June 2022

Revolution industry 4.0 expects universities to endow graduates with 21st-century skills performance at the workplace. The 21-century skills are categorized into Soft Skills, Hard Skills, and Competitiveness (SHC). These skills enable to the promotion of faster institutional enterprise and industrial growth as well as advancement in the economic sector. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate how graduates' SHC performance skills contribute to productivity in the workplace in Indonesia. The survey questionnaire was used to collect data from government institutions and enterprises, including industries. The questionnaires were categorized into three, including Non-state-enterprises, State-Owned enterprises, and government institutions, though out of 500 only 162 were returned. The results showed that graduates’ performance of soft skills, hard skills, competitiveness, and overall SHC were at a medium level. An inferential analysis found that the social science group exhibited better soft skills, competitiveness, and overall SHC performance than the pure science group with no difference in hard skills performance. Graduates from the none-state-enterprises and state-owned enterprises group showed better SHC performance than those working directly for the government. Moreover, none-state-enterprises had a higher SHC performance than graduates from state-owned enterprises. However, there was no correlation between soft graduate skills, competitiveness, and overall SHC performance and graduates’ CGPA. There was a relatively smaller correlation between hard skills performance and graduates’ CGPA. Therefore, university graduates are ill-prepared to meet the SHC performance needed at the workplace. The current Higher education curriculum, though built to emphasize SHC for a decade, did not achieve its purpose to produce quality graduates due to poor implementation.

Published: June 2022

Low academic achievement in Nairobi County has been of great concern especially in the last few years. Research studies conducted earlier have attributed this to various causes including environmental and some psychological factors. This research focused on examining the relationship between students’ risk taking and academic achievement in Nairobi County, Kenya. Elkind’s Adolescent Egocentrism theory guided the study. Correlational design was adopted to demonstrate the correlation between the variables. The population of target was the entire year 2019 Form Two students in public high schools, Nairobi County. To select research location, purposive sampling was used while stratified sampling helped identify the class. Finally, simple random sampling procedure was applied in selecting participants. The study sample comprised of 738 students picked from eight secondary schools. Adolescents’ risk taking scale was adopted and used to evaluate students’ risk taking behaviour. In order to assess students’ academic achievement, records of examination grades maintained in individual schools were consulted. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze collected data. Multiple regression analysis was used to establish prediction model. The study results revealed a weak negative statistically non-significant correlation between risk taking and academic achievement r (738) = -.031, p > 0.05. Similarly, two subscales of risk taking were found to be negatively correlated to academic achievement though not significantly. Only general invulnerability subscale revealed a positive but weak and insignificant relationship with academic achievement. Therefore, the study recommended that educators and other relevant stakeholders consider looking into other factors that may be behind low academic achievement in students. This will allow for application of appropriate intervening measures.

Authors: Bhatia Shelly , Anshul Anshul , Katoch Pooja
Published: June 2022

This paper reviews multifunctional nature of mushrooms. Besides being an essential source of nutrition, they are being extensively exploited by man in various ways. Not only are they admired for their exceptional flavor and texture but this fungus can replace a number of resources that we are currently utilizing. Higher mushrooms contain bioactive components that show antibacterial, antitumor, immunostimulator, antiparasitic, antidiabetic, anticarcinogenic properties. Simultaneously they are useful for people and woodlands by recycling nutrients, managing plastic waste and agricultural residues as they can act as natural decomposers . Mushroom farming is the best method to meet sustainable development goals set up by UNO. Mushrooms play an important role in biofuel generation, textile, footwear, furniture, dying and tanning industries. It is hoped that this paper would add to existing information on versatile attributes of mushrooms to make it feasible for humans to utilize mushrooms to a more prominent extent other than just a food ingredient, which makes them not just edible but a multi-functional fungi.

Authors: Samuhasaneeto Suchittra , Punsawad Chuchard , Chaniad Prapaporn
Published: June 2022

Chronic ethanol consumption leads to the development of liver disease. In the present study, the effects of Glochidion wallichianum Mull. Arg. ethanol extract (GWE) on chronic ethanol-induced liver injury in rats were evaluated. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents and in vitro antioxidant activities were determined. In the in vivo experiment, male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups: Control, ethanol, ethanol plus low and high doses of GWE (ethanol+GWE300 and ethanol+GWE600, respectively) and GWE alone (GWE600). All treatments were administered orally for 28 days. Serum biochemical profiles, hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, antioxidant enzyme activities, cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) expression, and liver histopathology were assessed. GWE contained high concentrations of total phenols and total flavonoids and exhibited inhibition of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical. The GWE treatment significantly decreased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, reduced hepatic MDA levels, increased catalase (CAT) activity, and improved histopathological alterations. However, compared with the control condition, GWE alone induced a low level of necrosis. The expression of the CYP2E1 mRNA was not different among the groups (p > 0.05). Based on these findings, GWE exerts a protective effect on ethanol-induced liver injury in rats through its antioxidant activity.

HIGHLIGHTS

Chronic alcohol abuse causes liver injury which leads to alcohol liver disease

Administration of Glochidion wallichianum Mull. Arg. ethanol extract declined oxidative stress marker in hepatic tissue, improved hepatic antioxidant enzyme on chronic ethanol-induced liver injury in rats

Glochidion wallichianum Mull. Arg. possibly serves as supplement to attenuate ethanol-induced liver injury

Legal Issues of Agricultural Land Use by Owners and Workers
Authors: Sannikov Dmytro , Yaryhina Yelyzaveta , Khominet Svitlana
Published: June 2022

The study investigates the problems of compliance with the legislative requirements in the use of agricultural land in Ukraine, depending on who directly extracts useful properties from such land plots: employees of agricultural enterprises, or the owners of these lands – farmers, members of agricultural cooperatives, citizens who engaging in agricultural production activities individually. The article provides examples of the impact of the activities of workers and the labour of agricultural landowners on the state of land use, compliance with environmental safety requirements, deterioration, and improvement of the quality of land plots. Research of legal issues of targeted, rational, and efficient use of land plots, ensuring the requirements for the preservation of the natural environment, biological diversity and ecosystems contained in the study, provide an opportunity to draw certain conclusions, the essence of which comes down to the fact that the current state of legal relations concerning the use of land plots by employees and landowners needs to be reformed. This is conditioned upon the fact that employees are not motivated to improve the quality of land and its soils, comply with environmental safety requirements, and preserve biological diversity in ecosystems that include the corresponding land plots. Since the main motivation is to obtain a certain benefit, and sanctions for non-compliance with the requirements of legislation in the field of land protection are inefficient, the use of hired labour in agriculture is often described as a negligent and mindless attitude towards land use and ensuring environmental safety. But the owner or user of a land plot that uses it as a farmer, cooperative member, entrepreneur, etc., is motivated not only to make a profit at a given time, but also to improve its quality characteristics, ensure environmental safety, and preserve ecosystem biological diversity, since this is a factor in the stability of obtaining profits from agricultural activities performed on a certain site and in the future

Published: June 2022

As of today, Heracleum Sosnowskyi have expanded from transformed habitats and small areas into natural conditions, where they occupy stable positions and is characterised by high phytocenotic activity, often being dominant or co-dominant. Considering that there are no clearly developed methods of control of this invasive species, there still is an urgent need to develop the methods of control of both annual and perennial plants under conditions of Ukraine. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of different methods of control of Heracleum Sosnowskyi. A field experiment was carried out during 2015-2020 on typical medium loam black soil. Four experiments were conducted: 1 – mechanical measures; 2 – screening; 3 – hot steam; 4 – use of herbicides. A randomised experimental design with four repetitions was used. It was found that an effective approach is the removal of the weeds with the root to a depth of at least 10-15 cm. Complete shading of the plants to the stage of four leaves within 30 days ensured their complete disappearance. The rate of Heracleum Sosnowskyi plants mortality by hot steam ranged from 100% (cotyledon stage) to 85% (6 leaves stage). The most sensitive to herbicides were the shoots in the cotyledon stage, from 97.3% to 100%. The most susceptible to herbicides in the phase of cotyledon was from 97.3% to 100%. To the phase of 6 leaves sensitivity decreased from 43.2 to 60.7%. The most effective herbicides were: TaskExtra 66.5 WG (rimsulfuron – 23 g·kg-1, nicosulfuron – 92 g·kg-1, dicamba – 550 g·kg-1) + Trend-90 at a consumtpion rate of 385 g·ha-1 + 0.2 l·ha-1 and MaisTer Power OD (foramsulfuron, 31.5 g·l-1 + iodosulfuron, 1.0 g·l-1 + tincarbazone-methyl, 10 g·l-1 + cyprosulfamide (antidote), 15 g·l-1) at a consumption rate of 1.5 l·ha-1). Heracleum Sosnowskyi the following herbicides proved to be efficient: Elumis 105 OD, MD (mesotrion 75 g·l-1, nikosulfuron, 30 g·l-1) at a consumption rate of 2.0 l·ha-1 and the following tank compositions: Elumis 105 OD, MD + Roundup Max v.r. (glyphosate potassium salt, 551 g·l-1) at a consumption rate of 2.0 + 6.0 l·ha-1. In further study of this issue, it is advised to increase the efficiency of controlling the number of Heracleum Sosnowskyi plants and reducing the chemical effect on the environment

The radicalness of social solidarity: protests and political change in contemporary Brazil
Authors: Maia Tatiana Vargas , De Sordi Denise
Published: June 2022

Since 2013, Brazil has faced a process of political, institutional, and social upheaval, translated into outbreaks of political scandals and major street mobilizations that evoke a certain social radicalism. Between May and June 2020, amid the initial period of the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrations by organized social movements and civil society took to the streets of cities in the country for "democracy and life," guided by an agenda characterized as antifascist. These mobilizations seemed to indicate that something would happen quickly, especially from the impoverished social strata - those most affected by the political scenario and the pandemic - but they cooled off at the same speed as they started. What has happened since then? The article examines this question, analyzing the protests through the category of social solidarity. We investigate their role in building social cohesion in Brazil during the last year, both in mobilizing sectors of the population and in the very corrosion and reversal of our society's social fabric bases.

The report assessed the stock repurchase activities of companies listed on the Vietnamese stock market in 2015 - 2019. The article uses Tobit's regression model and FEM - Fixed Effect Model regression model. To determine the motivation of the business to buy back, build a model based on the existing models to evaluate the impact of the share buyback on the enterprise's business performance. The research results show that the sharing repurchase by enterprises lowers valuation or reduces the cost of free cash flow and capital structure of the enterprise. It will determine the repurchase of shares of that enterprise; Along with that, the company's stock repurchase will pay fewer dividends. With the impact of stock repurchases on the enterprise's business performance, the results show that stock repurchases have potential implications for future earnings and the profitability ratios on the business books.
Building Trust and Reciprocity through Citizen Participation and Transparency: Lessons from Municipal Governments of Uganda and Thailand
Authors: Kiwanuka Dr. Michael
Published: June 2022

New governance dynamics are pushing government and its agencies to explore and enhance participatory governance practices at all levels as well as developing and encouraging new partnerships with civil society organizations and other non-state actors. This arrangement however takes participation for granted and does not illustrate how and when it can be meaningful. This article was informed by a study that examined, in a comparative framework and in relation to the expectations created by theory, the extent to which citizen participation reciprocates into trust and transparency in Uganda and Thai municipal governments. Although citizen participation and empowerment are interrelated governance concepts, the study established considerable overlaps between the two. Empowering citizens to understand their stakes and leverage in the local governance processes, and how to make their voices count was concluded to be the missing link in Uganda and Thailand municipal governments. Moreover, without providing citizens with relevant and complete information in user-friendly formats, participation may remain a public display but in reality a surrogate for mere politics with little in terms of citizen trust and reciprocity

Maintaining financial sustainability over the long term is vital for faith-based organizations since many of them offer services to very needy communities. However, faith-based organizations, particularly in Africa, struggle to sustain the financial resources required to effectively realize their mission. This study sought to establish the degree to which organizational controls affect the financial sustainability of faith-based organizations affiliated to Wycliffe Global Alliance in Africa. This study was anchored on strategic leadership and agency theory and was based on the positivism research paradigm. The study adopted descriptive research design and used primary data collected from 198 leaders serving as directors, heads of departments, and heads of units in faith-based organizations affiliated with Wycliffe Global Alliance in Africa. Descriptive statistics reported means and standard deviations respectively for the independent variables as follows; monitoring controls 3.71 and 0.480, premise controls 3.80 and 0.629, special alert controls 3.79 and 0.647, implementation controls 4.12 and 0.587, and for financial sustainability as the dependent variable 4.33 and 0.753. Multiple linear regression analyses results indicated that the financial sustainability of faith-based organizations affiliated to Wycliffe Global Alliance was highly predicted by balanced organizational controls with the independent variables explaining 38.8 percent of financial sustainability variation. The study concluded that balanced organizational controls if fully utilized and supported could enhance the financial sustainability of faith-based organizations. The study recommends that leaders of faith-based organizations should provide a favourable environment for balanced organizational controls to be effectively practiced in order to strengthen financial sustainability.
