Published: April 2024

Sustainable consumption behavior among youth is a critical aspect of addressing contemporary environmental challenges. This study employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate the determinants that influence sustainable consumption behavior among young individuals, with a focus on factors supportive of environmental organizations, subjective norms, attitude toward sustainable purchasing, perceived marketplace influence, environmental concern, and sustainable purchase behavior. Firstly, the study explores the role of factors supportive of environmental organizations. Findings reveal that youth who actively support and engage with environmental organizations are more likely to adopt sustainable consumption behaviors. These organizations serve as valuable platforms for educating and mobilizing the youth towards eco-conscious choices. Subjective norms are examined as an important determinant. The study suggests that when young individuals perceive that their peers and social circles endorse sustainable consumption practices, they are more inclined to follow suit. Peer influence plays a pivotal role in shaping their attitudes and behaviors in favor of sustainability Thirdly, attitude toward sustainable purchasing is investigated as a key factor. Results indicate that a positive attitude towards environmentally. The study delves into the influence of perceived marketplace factors. Young consumers who believe that businesses play an active role in promoting sustainability are more likely to engage in eco-friendly purchasing behaviors. This underscores the importance of corporate responsibility and sustainability initiatives. Fifthly, environmental concern is examined as a driving force for sustainable consumption behavior. The findings highlight that higher levels of environmental concern are positively associated with sustainable purchase behaviors. Young individuals who express genuine concern for the environment are more motivated to make eco-conscious choices.

Authors: Gavriel Faith Nangoy  , Carmel Meiden  , Suheriyatmono
Published: April 2024

While sustainability reporting has made significant strides in recent years, a noticeable gap persists between reporting practices and corresponding assurance measures. This paper emphasizes the alignment of sustainability assurance statements with the essential elements mandated by the ISAE 3000 assurance standard. A content analysis was conducted on the assurance statements of twenty (20) publicly listed companies across 20 different exchanges over a three-year span from 2020 to 2022. The analysis employed a quantitative approach, utilizing scoring to assess the alignment of the content with the requirements of the assurance standard. The research instrument was based on the minimal content elements of ISAE 3000 and developed by previous studies. The study reveals high quality levels among all assurance providers in the sample. Country-wise, the quality level is high for all countries except Japan, Thailand, Denmark, and Australia, which exhibit a medium quality level. Similarly, sectors in the sample generally exhibit a high quality level, except for consumer goods and industrial sectors, which demonstrate a medium quality level.

Published: April 2024

The cultural transformation of AKHLAK in the organization places a strong emphasis on the role of human capital as cultural actors to enhance competitiveness in the global market and position state-owned enterprises (BUMN) as talent factories. As a state-owned enterprise, PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk must undergo transformation with AKHLAK Culture as outlined in the Circular Letter of the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises Number: SE-7/MBU/07/2020 on Core Values. This includes the establishment of core values as the identity and adhesive for a work culture that supports sustainable performance improvement. This research aims to understand and explain the process of internalization and implementation of organizational culture values at PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk, both at the central office and branches, encompassing construction services, traffic, and transactions as the company's core business with minimum service standards set by the government as the authority. The study adopts an interpretive paradigm with a qualitative approach and ethnographic methods characterized by extensive fieldwork involving data collection through interviews, observations, symbols, artifacts, and various other data sources. The analysis focuses on the central and branch organizations as customer service functions for toll road users. The findings indicate that the implementation of AKHLAK in various units, including the central office, operational work regions, and subsidiaries, has led to unique innovations and creativity, particularly noticeable in operational areas where there is a lack of specific AKHLAK guidance. However, the concentration of commitment reinforcement is limited to th e leadership level, creating a gap in implementation in the field units, the core business areas, where the services provided do not align with the core meanings and behaviors of the AKHLAK Cultural Values

The approach taken in this research is qualitative with case study research type and interview method as data collection technique. Interviews were conducted with 12 (twelve) resource persons. The theories used in this research are political communication theory, conflict theory, and faction theory. The results showed that there are stages in Prosperous Justice Party factionalism, namely cooperative factionalism, competitive factionalism, and degenerative factionalism. In these three stages, each stage was analyzed in accordance with the elements of political communication, namely sender, encoding, message, channel, decoding, receiver, feedback, and noise. In the cooperative factionalism stage, there are justice and welfare factions. At the competitive factionalism stage, there are conflicts between factions and at the degenerative factionalism stage marked by the birth of a new party, namely the Gelombang Rakyat Indonesia party. The generation system in Prosperous Justice Party as a recipient communication element, palys a role in political communication and strengthens the party’s ability to overcome persistent conflicts and has saved the party from prolonged conflict. In addition to regeneration, PKS leaders and the Majelis Syuro as sender elements or communicators, have a central role in the political communication process. Their role covers various aspects, from formulating party messages to communicating with the public, party members, and other stakeholders.

FACTORS INFLUENCING CAPITAL STRUCTURE IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Asto Sunu Subroto
Published: April 2024

Several previous studies on the factors that influence the capital structure of manufacturing companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange show that the determination of capital structure is proven to be significantly influenced by several factors. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a very significant impact on the Indonesian economy, starting from changes in world supply chains to a decline in foreign investment into Indonesia. Factors that affect a manufacturing company in determining its capital structure in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic could be very different from when the Covid-19 pandemic had not yet hit Indonesia. Initially, the sample used in this study covered 193 manufacturing companies, but later 23 companies were excluded because of data outliers. The independent variables in this research are profitability, liquidity, asset structure and company size. Meanwhile, the dependent variable is capital structure. The collected data will be analyzed using multiple regression analysis at a significance level of 5%. Profitability has a significant negative effect on capital structure. While partially, firm size and liquidity has a negative effect on capital structure, but it is not significant. Asset structure has a positive effect on capital structure, but it is not significant. Simultaneously, profitability, liquidity, asset structure and company size have a significant effect on capital structure

La Escuela en el San Juan decimonónico y la influencia cultural de las sociedades literarias
Authors: Méndez Ricardo
Published: April 2024

El desarrollo cultural de las instituciones en la provincia de San Juan durante el siglo XIX, impactó de gran manera sobre la sociedad local. Por ello, este trabajo se propone analizar el crecimiento de la cultura local sobre dos ejes. El primero de ellos será el incremento en la cantidad de establecimientos escolares en la provincia. El segundo será un eje complementario del primero, ya que se centrará en el surgimiento de las sociedades literarias y sus integrantes y, al mismo tiempo, se apreciará su impacto cultural relacionado con la educación formal. A diferencia de otras provincias, San Juan logró mantener la estabilidad política al estar durante varias décadas gobernada por Nazario Benavides. ¿Cuáles fueron las causas de esta singularidad? Sin dudas son muchas y no se pretende abordar a todas. Tan solo indican algunas cuestiones: por un lado, el impacto de la generación de 1837 en San Juan y por el otro, la solidez de las instituciones provinciales. Si a ello, le sumamos el desarrollo cultural se comprenderá por qué San Juan pudo alcanzar un período de paz social prolongado.

Authors: Rojas Daliseth
Published: April 2024

La crisis venezolana ha sido motivo de atención a escala mundial y es considerada un tema de análisis de actualidad en todo los ámbitos informativos digitales. No obstante, los cambios históricos de la tecnología informativa están modelando la manera de percibir y asumir los procesos históricos, lo que estimula el estudio sobre las formas en que la sociedad recibe la información y se hace parte de los cimientos de la opinión pública. En este artículo se analiza cómo las redes sociales se erigieron, entre los años 2016 y 2021, como espacios de influencia en la circulación de información virtual, lo que abrió aún más el compás de la opinión pública digital. De esta manera, la investigación busca identificar cómo se dio el proceso de circulación de opiniones en relación a la actuación de la dirigencia política y la situación de los venezolanos dentro y fuera del territorio, teniendo como contexto la crisis actual. Por consiguiente, se expone cómo la información circulante en las plataformas digitales más usadas en Venezuela, evidenciaron un abanico de ideas en torno a la realidad política y económica del país, avivando el debate sobre los cambios históricos que vive la comunicación actual y, específicamente, cómo los venezolanos usan las herramientas digitales para enfrentar la desinformación, dialogar, intercambiar perspectivas y manifestar simbólicamente la valoración que tienen de las acciones políticas gubernamentales en esta etapa de la historia nacional.

El estudio de las ideas económicas es una de las áreas de la historia económica que está en constante desarrollo y mantiene un debate activo e interesante en torno a las propuestas metodológicas estructuralista y conceptual. Lorenzo Infantino realiza en este libro un aporte a este debate proponiendo un estudio de las ideas y usando el método individualista; buscando estudiar las teorías sobre el orden del mercado. Desde la perspectiva metodológica desarrollada por el filósofo Karl R. Popper, el individualismo metodológico es aquí una forma de aproximarse a los hechos sociales mediante la contemplación de los elementos únicos y particulares del sujeto a través del mundo de las ideas, siendo el plano donde se expresan los lenguajes las conjeturas y argumentos sobre los problemas, preguntas y respuestas que puede haber, en este caso, respecto a la economía.

"Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) Response to Fungicides and Herbicides Applied using Different Spray Nozzles"
Authors: L Jordan David
Published: April 2024

Late leaf spot [caused by Nothopassalora personata (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) U. Braun, C. Nakash, Videira & Crous] is an economically important disease in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and fungicides are used routinely to protect peanut from infection and the resulting yield loss. Herbicides are an important component of effective weed management in peanut. Concern over particle drift of pesticides exists in the farming community, especially after stewardship issues associated with synthetic auxin application in herbicide resistant crops in the United States. Spray nozzles that deliver larger droplets that are less prone to drift is a possible solution to this issue. However, fungicides may be less effective in penetrating the crop canopy and covering foliage for protection from pathogens with these nozzles compared with nozzles delivering smaller droplets. Research was conducted to compare suppression of late leaf spot disease when chlorothalonil, prothioconazole plus tebuconazole, azoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin, and chlorothalonil were applied sequentially every 14 days using hollow cone nozzles (fine droplet size), regular flat fan nozzles (medium droplet size), air induction flat fan nozzles (coarse droplet size), and turbo teejet induction nozzles (ultra-coarse droplet size). Regular flat fan and hollow cone nozzles were slightly more effective in delivering fungicides based on canopy defoliation at harvest compared with turbo teejet induction nozzles and in some cases air induction nozzles. However, suppression of pathogens by fungicides applied using all four nozzle types prevented canopy defoliation adequately to protect peanut from yield loss. In a separate experiment, peanut yield and control of common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) and late leaf spot did not differ at harvest when herbicides and fungicides were applied with air induction or turbo teejet induction nozzles throughout the cropping cycle. These results indicate that farmers can apply fungicides and herbicides to peanut using nozzles that limit potential for particle drift with minimal concern over reduced pesticide efficacy and protection of yield from pests.
An Investigation of the Tribological and Mechanical Properties of the Hybrid Mg Nanocomposites Manufactured by Mechanical Alloy
Authors: B Moustafa Essam
Published: April 2024

This work explores the impact of fly ash and nanoparticle reinforcements (TiO2 , hBN, B4 C) on the mechanical and tribological properties of magnesium nanocomposites produced via mechanical alloying. The investigation revealed that incorporating these reinforcements increased the compressive strength and microhardness of the composites compared to pure Mg. Notably, the Mg-fly ash + B4 C composite exhibited the highest microhardness (50.74 HV), representing a 71.3% increase. Tribological analysis demonstrated that the Mg-fly ash composite and Mg-fly ash + TiO2 composite displayed slightly lower friction coefficients than pure Mg. The Mg-fly ash + hBN composite exhibited the lowest friction coefficient due to the lubricating nature of hBN. In contrast, the Mg-fly ash + B4 C composite showed the highest friction coefficient due to its inherently rough surface. These findings suggest that the developed hybrid magnesium nanocomposites offer a compelling combination of enhanced mechanical properties and tunable tribological behavior, making them suitable for applications demanding both wear resistance and reduced friction.

Age and stress-related periodontal diseases are prevalent in the geriatric population and continue to provide a significant epidemiological concern. Objective: To assess the impact of ageing and stress on the periodontal health of the senior population before and after periodontal treatment Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted between February and October 2023. Twenty-two senior patients aged 55 to 77 were selected through purposeful random sampling, excluding those unwilling or unable to participate. A semi-structured questionnaire, translated into the native language, assessed periodontal health using the Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE). Informed consent was obtained from participants, who were assured confidentiality and the right to withdraw. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 23, employing mean and standard deviation for continuous data and frequency tables for categorized data. Cross-tabulation and significance testing were utilized to demonstrate associations. Results: The results of the prevailing cross-sectional study reveal that there exists an association between moderate to elevated levels of perceived stress and the manifestation of severe instances of periodontal disease. As per the study findings, periodontitis tends to afflict individuals across older adult age demographics. Conclusion: The study emphasised that stress and ageing are key risk factors for periodontal diseases, underlining the importance of addressing them during therapy. Consistent oral hygiene can prevent periodontitis in older adults.

Published: April 2024

Effective communication skills enable individuals to express themselves clearly, engage in meaningful interactions, and navigate the complexities of today's interconnected world. Purpose: This study encompassed a varied group of participants from multiple regions, including schools in Thai Nguyen Province, Bac Can Province, and Cao Bang Province, Vietnam. A total of 300 individuals participated, evenly divided between 150 teachers and 150 students.The research methodology in this study encompassed two distinct sets of questions, each carefully designed to serve specific purposes and directed towards both teachers and Tay-Nung secondary school students. The results reveal that experiential activities are a common and engaging part of secondary school education in the Northern mountainous region of Vietnam. The majority of students show high interest and participation in these activities. Teachers and students perceive that these activities significantly contribute to various communication skills development. Moreover, awareness of school managers and teachers, the ability of teachers to organize activities, school facility conditions, student interest, parental involvement, and social coordination play vital roles in the effectiveness of experiential activities for communication skill development. These findings collectively provide valuable insights into the dynamics of experiential learning in this region. By embracing experiential activities and addressing the identified factors, educators and administrators have the potential to enhance communication skills among students, preparing them for success in various aspects of their lives. The study's implications extend to educational settings beyond the Northern mountainous region, offering a blueprint for the integration of experiential activities in communication skills development programs.

Suomen esiteollisen kauden valuuttakurssimuunnin (1534–1880)
Authors: Turunen Riina , Voutilainen Miikka
Published: April 2024

Viimeisen 500 vuoden aikana Suomessa on ollut käytössä lukuisia valuuttajärjestelmiä. Se on muodostanut vaikeuksia ymmärtää keskeisiä yhteiskunnallisia hintoihin, arvoihin, elintasoon ja taloudelliseen kehitykseen liittyviä mittareita, sillä saatavilla ei ole ollut helposti saavutettavaa ja kokonaisvaltaista esitystä valuuttojen välisistä vaihtokursseista. Tämä on tehnyt esimerkiksi pitkän aikavälin vertailut vaikeiksi. Esittelemme artikkelissa aikaisempaan tutkimukseen perustuvan valuuttakurssimuuntimen, joka sisältää Suomen alueella 1530-luvulta 1800-luvun lopulle käytössä olleiden keskeisimpien valuuttojen väliset vaihtokurssit. Valuuttakurssimuunnin mahdollistaa rahanarvojen nimellisten muutosten tekemisen kunkin vuoden sisällä. Ehdotamme ajanylisten vertailujen ja eri rahajärjestelmien välisten vertailujen tekemisen menetelmäksi rahallisten arvojen muuntamista hopeagrammoiksi.
Asiasanat: valuuttamuunnin, valuuttakurssit, monivaluuttaisuus, taaleri, riikintaaleri, rupla, markka, esiteollinen aika, rahahistoria, hopea, kolikko, seteli, Suomen historia, Ruotsin historia, Venäjän historia
Assessing the Relationship between Technological Factors and the Implementation of Human Resource Information System: A survey in the Municipal, Metropolitan, and District Assemblies in the Upper West Region of Ghana
Authors: Haleem Yahaya , Ditsa E. M George
Published: April 2024

Over the years, public sector organization such as Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana have been challenged by a significant number of factors that affect the implementation of Human Resource Management Information Systems (HRISs). The study focuses on assessing the technological factors affecting the implementation of the HRIS in the MMDAs in the Upper West Region of Ghana. The philosophical foundation of the study was positivism. A cross-sectional survey was employed in the study as part of a quantitative research design. The target population comprised of 187 Line managers. The study used a non-probability sampling technique known as purposive sampling. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect primary data. The study also embraced descriptive and inferential statistics. Bivariate regression analysis and correlation coefficient were used to establish causal relationships between variables. Stepwise regression was also used to determine the most influential variables in implementing of HRIS. It was concluded that IT Infrastructure and Compatibility had a moderate level of acceptance as factors that affect the implementation of the HRIS. In contrast, Quality Information, System Quality, and Complexity had a low level of acceptance. The study also concluded that Complexity, Quality Information, Compatibility and System Quality had correlated with the acceptance of the HRIS, whereas IT infrastructure did not correlate with the acceptance of the HRIS. Lastly, it was concluded that IT Infrastructure, Complexity, Quality Information, Compatibility, and System Quality did correlate with the Effectiveness of the HRIS. The study recommends that, HRIS Software adopted and implemented at the LGS and its Agencies must be user-friendly. The LGS and its Agencies do not have a guide that support new technology implementation such as the HRIS. Hence the need to adopt the guide offered in this study.
