Predicting Acceptance of Biobased Products Based on Subjective Knowledge, Environmental Attitude, Perceived Usefulness, and Socio-demographic Characteristics
Authors: Oguntuase Oluwaseun James , Adu Oluwatosin Benedict , Obayori Oluwafemi Sunday
Published: October 2023

This study examines the influence of consumers’ subjective knowledge, environmental attitude perceived usefulness and socio-demographics on their intentions to accept biobased products as an alternative to fossil based products. The study employs a five-point Likert scale questionnaire-based survey (N = 465) conducted in Lagos, Nigeria in the year 2022. Both descriptive statistics and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) are employed in fulfilling the study objectives. Acceptance of biobased products is influenced by individual-level socio-demographic and psychological factors. Male respondents exhibited a greater perceived usefulness from biobased products and higher intention to accept biobased products compared to their female counterparts. Additionally, the Silent generation, similar to residents in peri-urban areas, showed a more favorable perceived usefulness and a stronger intention to accept biobased products than other generational cohorts. The strong positive relationship between perceived usefulness and intention to accept biobased products is in agreement with technological innovation acceptance studies. The findings are interpreted relative to industry and societal implications including the need to make individual oriented strategies the centerpiece of bioeconomy policies and promotional campaigns in order to enhance acceptance of biobased products.

Due to changes brought upon by covid in society, the aviation industry has also entered a new phase that is different from the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, this study aims to enhance our understanding of people's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and their perception regarding aviation safety. Specifically, the study investigates whether in-flight services focusing on sanitation and preventative measures against the virus alleviated negative emotions such as fear and anxiety among passengers, and how this affected their risk perception and group efficacy through cognitive value. To achieve the purpose of the study, an online survey was conducted in December 2021 of passengers with experience boarding aircraft after the COVID-19 outbreak, and 211 valid responses out of 308 were used for analysis. The analysis of the data revealed that in-flight services had a positive effect on cognitive value, which in turn had a positive effect on risk perception and collective efficacy among air passengers. The overall evaluation of in-flight services indicated that passengers now place a greater emphasis on hygiene and quarantine measures. Furthermore, there has been a notable promotion of passengers' efforts and attitudes towards not only ensuring their own safety but also the safety of others and society, which has resulted in a significant improvement in responsible behavior. Key Words: cognitive value, group-efficacy, collective efficacy, safety perception, inflight service, airline service quality

Published: October 2023

Purpose: The study analysed the marketing of beef in Lafia metropolis. Specifically, the study described the socio-economic characteristics of beef marketers in the area, analysed the market structure for beef, assessed the marketing cost and profit, and estimated the operational efficiency of beef marketing and its determinants. It also identified the constraints faced by beef marketers in the area. Methodology: Data used for the study were generated through administration of well structured questionnaire to 60 respondents made up of 20 wholesalers and 40 retailers randomly selected from 4 major beef markets in the study area. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, budgeting, concentration ratios, Gini coefficient, operational efficiency and regression technique. Results: Results showed variation in marketing cost, marketing margin and marketing profit for both wholesale and retail beef markets. Results also indicated that wholesale beef market operated at a monopoly level while the retail beef market showed perfect competition. The Gini coefficient for wholesalers of 0.47, which is above 0.35 indicates high level of market concentration and high inequality in wholesale beef market, while retail market with a value of 0.29 shows low level of market concentration and low level of inequality. Wholesalers were also more operationally efficient than retailers. The result further showed that transportation cost had significant effects on marketing efficiency for the wholesale market. But transportation cost, record keep, level of education and packaging cost has significant effect on operational efficiency of beef retail market. Results also indicated that marketers both wholesalers and retailers complained of inadequate capital as a very serious constraint; transportation cost and inadequate storage facilities, as serious constraints; risk of spoilage, low patronage as not serious constraints, and market charges as not very serious constraints.

Published: October 2023

Globally, Students with Low Academic Achievement (LAA) are usually presented with lack of mindfulness’ symptoms which are the signs of stress and anxiety. Also, the growing rate of highly competitive job market, poverty, hunger and general inflation in price of goods and services occasioned by COVID-19 could be held responsible for additional stress and anxiety among science students. Consequently, Mindfulness Strategies aiming at relieving students stress and anxiety will be of great benefit to the students trying to cope with the attendant struggles and improve their performance in core science subjects chiefly Chemistry and English Language which is a core subject for all secondary school students. This study hereby aims to examine the teaching of Chemistry and English Language with the Mnemonic Devices for Science Students’ Mindfulness in Nigerian Secondary schools. Through the literature reviewed, it was found that the use of mnemonics in the teaching of Chemistry and English Language improves students’ interests, retention, academic achievement, and mindfulness among science students. It was however concluded that the use of mnemonics is a mindfulness strategy which could be used to improve Science students’ academic achievement and retention. It is hereby suggested that science and English Language teachers should learn to use mnemonics devices regularly in their classrooms to ensure that the science students benefit from its mindfulness potentials.

This study examines the reemergence of separatist movements in Nigeria, particularly in the Eastern region, and their impact on the security situation in the country. It reveals that the separatist groups, such as IPOB and Unknown Gunmen, have been able to mobilize support from the Igbo people by highlighting their historical, economic, and political grievances against the Nigerian state. The failure of the Nigerian state to address the legitimate grievances of ethnic minorities has contributed to the emergence of separatist movements. The analysis of reports and data sources shows that the activities of IPOB and Unknown Gunmen have had a significant impact on the security situation in the Eastern region of Nigeria. The findings of this study have important implications for the security and stability of Nigeria. The study concludes that secessionism in Nigeria has a complex and multi-layered history that is rooted in the country's colonial past and perpetuated by the failure of the Nigerian state to address the legitimate grievances of ethnic minorities. The recommendations include addressing the root causes of secessionism, promoting inclusive governance, and engaging in meaningful dialogue with separatist groups. These steps can help to find a peaceful solution to the issue of secessionism and ensure the security and stability of Nigeria.
Modelling neoclassical geopolitics: An alternative theoretical tradition for geopolitical culture and literacy
Authors:   Department of Geography and Planning, Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary, Morgado Nuno
Published: October 2023

This paper offers a conceptual and theoretical alternative to geopolitical reasoning. It accepts certain concepts, factors, and variables from classical geopolitics with tested scientific validity and adds to them the awareness and focus on agents contributed, to some extent, by critical geopolitics. Without leaving a soft positivist sphere in which the procedures of the scientific method prevail, the innovative model of neoclassical geopolitics presented here constitutes a two-level approach in which the structural variable of systemic stimuli runs through the dual intervening variable of the geopolitical agent’s perceptions and capacities, shaping the state’s behavior as the dependent variable. In other words, it is innovatively claimed that examining geopolitical agents’ perceptions and capacities often provides valuable input for explaining political out-comes as an object of study in geopolitical research. Through both systemic stimuli and geopolitical agents’ perceptions and capacities, geography remains omnipresent with its concepts and approaches. Hence, one of the main objectives of the article is to contribute to the thriving of geopolitical culture and the literacy of decision-makers and the general public.

Mitchell takes a regional approach in exploring the lives of families in the Middle Ages. Starting with the late Roman families the first five chapters explore the roles of family members defined by tradition and law, what constituted a legal marriage and a family, to whom the children belonged, and who was included in the extended family. The remaining chapters delve into daily family life - homes of various social classes and the division of labor, both maintaining the home and family-based labor such as agriculture, banking, manufacturing of goods, and mercantile activity. Religious cultures of the medieval world varied but all often included oblation of children to monasteries, religious ceremonies for life stages, and family obligations in the religious culture. Birth, death and inheritance all affected the family and new families were often formed from previous generations and defunct family lines. Non-traditional families included family structures advocated by heretical groups - the Cathars and the Beguines, families created without marriage - concubinage relationships, and those that developed as a result of social and environmental stresses - the Black Death, war, and natural disasters. Perfect for students studying the Middle Ages and medieval life, this work provides a clear and engaging narrative on the day-to-day lives of the family.

Jews of Medieval France
Authors: Taitz Emily
Published: October 2023

This book studies the Jewish community of Champagne from the fifth century to the expulsion of 1306. It documents the growth and decline of the community, examines its interrelationships with the larger Christian culture, and presents a model for the study of other communities. The economic and political consolidation of the county, coupled with the development of Jewish self-government and a system of education in Talmudic law, were important factors in the growth of Champagne's Jewish community. The subsequent decline of the community in the mid-13th century was also attributable to economic and political factors, as well as a growing church influence.

The Jews of Medieval France: The Community of Champagnealso offers an in-depth analysis of women's place in the Jewish and gentile worlds of medieval France. Details and comparisons of women's status within the family and in business, and examples of attitudes toward women in literature and law are all thoroughly integrated into the text.
Medieval Weapons
Authors: Smith Robert D. , DeVries Kelly
Published: October 2023

This fascinating reference covers the weapons and armor used by warriors from the 4th to the 15th century and discusses how and why they changed over time.

In the Middle Ages, the lack of standardized weapons meant that one warrior's arms were often quite different from another's, even when they were fighting on the same side. And with few major technological advances in that period, the evolution of those weapons over the centuries was incremental. But evolve they ultimately did, bringing arms, armor, and siege weapons to the threshold of the modern era. From the fall of the Roman Empire to the beginnings of the Renaissance,Medieval Weapons: An Illustrated History of Their Impactcovers the inexorable transformation from warrior in the mail shirt to fully armored knight, from the days of spears and swords to the large-scale adoption of the handgun.

Medieval Weaponscovers this fascinating expanse of centuries in chapters devoted to the early medieval, Carolingian, Crusade, and late medieval periods. Within each period, the book details how weapons and armor were developed, what weapons were used for different types of battles, and how weapons and armor both influenced, and were influenced by, changing tactics in battles and sieges.

Türkiye’nin İlk Küresel ‘Yerel’ Markası Nestle, Osmanlı/Türk Olmayı Nasıl Bir Stratejiyle Başardı?
Authors: MEMİŞ Şefik
Published: October 2023

Almanya doğumlu Henri Nestle’nin İsviçre’de kurduğu fabrikasında 1867’de çocuk ölümlerini önlemek için geliştirdiği “süt, buğday unu ve şekerden oluşan ürünü” imal etmesiyle Nestle’nin ülke sınırlarını aşan hikâyesi de başladı. O kadar hızlı yayıldı ki, fabrikanın kurulmasından 10 yıl sonra Nestle, Osmanlı pazarına girmişti bile. 1909’da Paris ve Londra’dan sonra Türkiye’deki ilk ofisini İstanbul Karaköy’de açtı. Bu pazarda var olmak, biraz Osmanlı olmaktan geçiyordu. Osmanlı ya da Türk gibi olmanın birinci şartı ise firmanın içinde bulunduğu toplumun hassasiyetlerine sahip olmasıydı. Ayrıca Galata ve Beyoğlu’nda yaşayan gayrimüslimler başta olmak üzere beslenme alışkanlıkları Avrupa ile uyum içinde olan ahali de Nestle için “hazır pazar” idi. Bütün bunları dikkate alan Nestle, pazarlama ve reklam yöntemlerini Osmanlı halkının alışkanlık ve inançları üzerine kurdu. “İsviçre markası, ismi ve ürün içeriği” aynı kalmakla birlikte bütün anlatımlarıyla ve tarifleriyle İstanbul’da satılan Nestle ürünleri yerel bir kimlik kazandı. Nestle’nin 150 yıla yakın bir zamandır Türkiye’de var olmasının kökeni burada yatıyordu. Bu köklerin izlerini döneminin etkin dergisi Servet-i Fünûn’un 26 Şubat 1914 tarihli nüshasında yayınlanan “Nestle Servet-i Fünûn İlave Kısmı” başlıklı 24 sayfalık tanıtım ekinde bulmak mümkün. Çünkü bu ilavede, Anadolu, Balkanlar ve Ortadoğu’da yaşayanlara ulaşmak isteyen Nestle’nin (ulaştığı kitleyi büyüterek pazar payını artırmayı sağlamak için) toplumun geleneksel değerleriyle uyum içinde olduğunu gösterme çabası tüm boyutlarıyla görülebiliyor. Bu makalede, Osmanlı’da yayınlanan ilk tanıtım eki olarak kabul edilebilecek Nestle Servet-i Fünûn İlave Kısmının katkısıyla, uluslararası bir ürünün yerel marka gibi kabul görmesinin hikâyesi gün yüzüne çıkartılacak.

Anadolu’da, taş işleme sanatı ile ön plana çıkan en önemli merkezlerden biri, hiç kuşkusuz, Ahlat’tır. Kent, taşın adeta dantel gibi işlendiği mimarı yapıları ve mezar taşları ile Anadolu Türk Tarihinin taş işleme geleneğine ışık tutmaktadır. Ortaçağ’da önemli bir yerleşim yeri olan Ahlat, Selçuklular Dönemi’nde kültür, medeniyet ve ticaret açısından İslâm dünyasının en büyük şehirlerinden biri haline gelmiştir. Siyasi ve sosyo-kültürel açıdan Türk tarihinde oldukça önemli olan kent, özellikle yetiştirdiği sanatkârlarla ün yapmıştır. Sanatkârların eserlerini icra ettikleri en önemli eserlerden biri, hiç kuşkusuz, mezar taşlarıdır. Ahlat’ta bulunan Selçuklu Meydan Mezarlığı, mezar taşı işçiliğinin gelişkin örneklerini görebileceğimiz en önemli yerlerden biridir. Kitabeleriyle Anadolu’nun önemli tarihî belgeleri olan bu eserler, üzerlerindeki sanatkâr kitabelerinden anlaşıldığı üzere, dönemin önde gelen sanatkârları tarafından yapılmışlardır. Bu sanatkârlardan biri de Ahmed bin Hüseyin’dir. Mezarlık alanında yapılan saha çalışmalarında sanatkârın iki mezar yapısı tespit edilmiştir. Mezarlığın batı yakasında bulunan bu eserlerden Haydar Kızı Bengi Sultan Hatun’un Kabri H. 921 / M. 1515; Haydar Kızı… Hatun Kabri ise H. 931 / M. 1524 tarihlidir. Çalışmada, Ahmed bin Hüseyin imzalı bu eserler tipoloji, yapım teknikleri, süsleme özellikleri ve kitabe içerikleri bakımından değerlendirilmiştir. Sanatkârın karakteristik özellikleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmış bu özelliklerin, Ahlat üslubu içerisindeki yeri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır.

Published: October 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı; kahve dükkânları zinciri olarak faaliyette bulunan Starbucks’ta, müşterilerin sunulan hizmete ilişkin deneyimlerinin, müşteri vatandaşlık davranışı göstermelerinde bir etkisi olup olmadığını ve bu etkinin oluşmasında müşterilerin yaşadıkları hizmet tatmininin aracılık rolü üstlenip üstlenmediğini belirlemektir. Çalışmanın amacı doğrultunda verilerin analizi için nicel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile toplanan 403 anket verisi SPSS 18 ve AMOS 22 programlarından yararlanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Hipotez testine ilişkin analizlerin sonuçları yapısal eşitlik modeli aracılığı ile doğrulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları; hizmet deneyiminin müşteri vatandaşlık davranışını kısmen ve pozitif yönde etkilediğini göstermiştir. Hizmet deneyiminin hizmet tatmini üzerindeki etkisi incelendiğinde müşterilerin yaşadıkları hizmet deneyiminin müşteri vatandaşlık davranışı sergilemeleri için yeterli olduğu sonucunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, hizmet deneyiminin müşteri vatandaşlık davranışına etkisinde hizmet tatmininin aracılık etkisi olmadığı saptanmıştır. Bu sonuçtan yola çıkarak, müşterilerin yaşadıkları hizmet deneyiminin tatmin düzeyinde olmasa dahi müşteri vatandaşlık davranışı gösterme eğiliminde olabileceklerini söylemek mümkündür. Son yıllarda müşterilerin hislerini harekete geçirerek, onlara eşsiz deneyimler sunmak tatmin yaratma açısından son derece önemli hale gelmiştir. Dolayısıyla, kendisini işletmenin bir çalışanı gibi gören müşterilerin, yaşadıkları hizmet deneyiminden etkilenmeleri muhtemel olacaktır.

A obra de Florestan Fernandes, especificamente voltada para o estudo das relações raciais entre negros e brancos no Brasil, apresenta fortes vínculos com a sua interpretação do processo de emergência, formação e consolidação do capitalismo dependente. Várias críticas, muitas delas baseadas em leituras apressadas que desconsideram o sentido exato de suas posições teóricas, metodológicas e políticas, foram-lhe erroneamente dirigidas, suscitando em visões equivocadas de que Fernandes teria afirmado a ausência de consciência de classe no escravo ou que o desenvolvimento capitalista conduziria automaticamente à eliminação do racismo. No presente artigo, será brevemente analisado o ensaio A sociedade escravista no Brasil, publicado como primeiro capítulo de Circuito fechado (1976), visto que esse trabalho é fundamental para compreender como o modo de produção escravista alimentou o nascente capitalismo brasileiro. Embora posterior aos livros mais conhecidos do autor sobre a questão, como A integração do negro na sociedade de classes (1964), o referido texto reconstitui de maneira mais nítida suas conexões de sentido entre trabalho escravo, estratificação racial e a acumulação originária que engendrou a emergência da formação capitalista no Brasil. Essa exposição permitirá desconstruir os equívocos das críticas acima indicadas e recuperar as ideias de Florestan Fernandes sobre as interações dialéticas entre raça e classe no capitalismo dependente. Suas teses conduzem, em última instância, a pensar a luta anticapitalista no Brasil a partir da confluência entre raça e classe como polos políticos da construção de uma consciência socialista pelo conjunto das classes trabalhadoras e massas despossuídas.

Bungi sub-district is one of the sub-districts where many people plant sweet star fruit in their yards. Efforts to diversify processed star fruit products have not received much public attention. This is because star fruit has perishable constraints with a short shelf life, making the fruit have low economic value. The purpose of this activity is to create new products from processed starfruit, which is expected to provide benefits to the community as new innovations in processing, and can increase the selling value of starfruit from the previous period. In addition, training activities with local residents provide new knowledge that can be applied independently by farmers and the community in developing optimal business. Community service is held in June. The location of the community service activities is in Bungi District, Baubau City, as the center for producing star fruit. Community assistance activities regarding the manufacture of processed star fruit can increase economic income and form women's hydroponic farmer groups
