Authors: Joseph Olamilekan Olayinka , Abdulsalam Saka Tunde , Aboyeji Sunday Timothy , Adesina Paul Bamikole
Published: November 2024

Financial Fraud in Nigeria's banking sector has escalated dramatically, exhibiting a worrying increase over the past decade and posing significant financial and reputational risks to the banks. Early detection and prevention of fraud is essential for banks to protect their financial integrity, customer relationships, and competitive advantage in an increasingly complex and vulnerable financial landscape. Therefore, this study examined the effect of forensic accounting on the detection and prevention of fraud in Nigerian deposit money banks. Survey methodology was employed with the use of a self-prepared questionnaire. Two Hundred copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the selected (200) staff of First Bank Nigeria Plc. The questionnaire gathered data about the forensic accounting role, forensic accounting application/adoption, forensic accounting litigation, forensic accounting investigation, and forensic accountants’ investigation skills. The data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23. Data were analyzed based on descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. While descriptive statistics embedded frequency distribution of data which includes frequency rate, mean, standard deviation, and response percentage, inferential statistics represents the regression analysis result of the study. Results revealed that forensic accounting plays a significant role in fraud detection and prevention in First Bank Nigeria Plc. Findings also showed that forensic accounting is effective and efficient in fraud detection and prevention in First Bank Nigeria Plc in terms of forensic accounting application/adoption, forensic accounting litigation, forensic accounting investigation, and forensic accountants’ skills.
From Biased Data Inputs To Your Discriminatory Diagnosis Outputs: A Review of Legal Liability For Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Authors: Bolden Amber
Published: November 2024

While health disparities in America occur due to non-medical circumstances, certain protected classes experience healthcare disparities due to the biases of medical professionals. Biased diagnoses, both intentional or unintentional, have existed throughout the history of the medical profession. That those biases are becoming data for training algorithms raises concerns as the medical field increasingly incorporates and standardizes artificial and augmented intelligence in patient diagnosis and treatment. Currently unregulated but with life-determining potential, artificial intelligence (AI) when used in patient treatment leads to important questions: should the doctor, the provider, or the AI developers be liable, and for what? Section II discusses how bias manifests in healthcare and the legal avenues available for negligent, non-AI diagnosis and treatments. Section III then addresses how AI outputs can perpetuate discriminatory care and how negligent AI fits into the current legal framework. Finally, Section IV proposes how resulting biased AI diagnosis and treatments should be legally handlined moving forward.
Repair as Research: How Copyright Impedes Learning About Devices
Authors: Rosborough Anthony , Perzanowski Aaron
Published: November 2024

Widespread computerization and ubiquitous smart devices have enabled software-based copyright governance to reach into new domains. Beyond their instrumental utility, those devices contain vast amounts of information in the form of software and technical know-how. Through copyright and anti-circumvention rules, however, this information can be cordoned off and confined to exclusive distribution channels, significantly constraining research. While copyright law traditionally conceives of research as the use of expressive works within institutional settings, we propose a broader conceptualization that embraces device research, including informal inquiries and DIY activities. Whether for the purposes of modification, repair, user innovation, or testing, device research involves analytical engagement with physical devices. With a particular focus on repair-related activities as a modality of device research, this Article considers product teardowns, reverse engineering, security research, and testing analyses. It then looks to case studies that exemplify the ways in which copyright can impede this type of research. In highlighting the conceptual overlap between the Right to Repair and Right to Research movements, we argue that a broader concept of research in copyright that includes device research could normatively reinforce and bolster support for a Right to Research in international copyright law.
Tort Liability, Privacy, and Regulatory Considerations for Level 3 Autonomous Vehicles
Authors: Jones Ryan
Published: November 2024

Recent developments in emerging technology, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous vehicles, have generated inquiries about the incorporation of these technologies into the law, as well as the philosophical and ethical questions that accompany their use. This paper considers existing legal doctrine and regulatory frameworks as applied to the niche area of Level 3 autonomous vehicles. Specifically, this paper considers tort liability in the form of negligence and products liability, privacy risks, and regulatory considerations in relation to Level 3 vehicles. Finally, societal risks and potential solutions are considered to provide insight into potential areas of additional work.
Trademarks on the Blockchain: NFT Domains and Collisions
Authors: Laketić Jelena
Published: November 2024

Blockchain technology supporting cryptocurrency transactions is one of the most critical innovations of this decade. Establishing a legal identity on blockchain, however, is fraught with uncertainty. In the 1990s, the internet faced a similar set of issues, which were resolved through the ICANN dispute resolution system. This Article asserts that blockchain technology urgently needs a similar cohesive approach to NFT domains.

This Article will explore trademark issues with non-fungible tokens (NFTs), specifically NFT domains. It begins by exploring the fundamental structure of NFTs by demystifying the technology and showing how NFTs contrast with other currency regimes. Increased usage of NFTs has created novel intellectual property law issues. This Article then examines the history of unauthorized registration and use of domains identical or similar to trademarks, known as cybersquatting. Understanding the historical evolution of the internet domain name system is a crucial step in comprehending the risks associated with NFT domains disputes.

Traditional internet domain names are ultimately managed and overseen by a centralized authority, ICANN, which is a private nonprofit organization that sets the policy for the global Domain Name System. Unlike internet domain names, where ICANN developed a Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy and collision occurrence management framework, NFT domains have the potential to create domain collisions, both between extensions on the blockchain and with conventional domain name extensions. As the blockchain ecosystem continues to grow, its unregulated nature may increase the number of disputes and stoke mistrust in the system. This Article will compare two principal naming standards, centralized and decentralized. Despite the challenges of coordination in the decentralized world of blockchain, I argue that in the absence of law regulations, an effective system of governance is possible through self-regulatory organizations. Given the specific characteristics of the blockchain environment, I propose to establish a specialized blockchain entity, a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), that would deal with the governance of NFT domains and disputes relating to their collisions and those arising from their intersection with trademarks.

ATTITUDE OF HIGHER SECONDARY STUDENTS TOWARDS PRIVATE TUITION
Authors: Premananda Sarkar  , Prof. Bijan Sarkar
Published: November 2024

The aims of education encompass holistic child development, fostering confidence and enthusiasm through timely advice, motivation, and support from parents, guardians, teachers, and members of society. In today's competitive era, younger generations are striving for success in various fields, particularly in education. Private tutoring has become a globally pervasive phenomenon. This study aims to measure students’ attitudes toward private tuition. The objectives of the study are to determine whether there are any gender differences in higher secondary students’ attitudes toward private tuition and to examine variations in attitudes based on locality. Additionally, the study seeks to explore the relationship between attitudes toward private tuition and academic achievement, considering both gender and locality. A total of 198 higher secondary students participated in the study, serving as the sample. A descriptive survey method, following a quantitative approach, was employed. The sample was selected using the purposive sampling technique. A self-developed questionnaire was used to measure the attitudes of higher secondary students toward private tuition. The results were analyzed using Means, Standard Deviation, t-tests, and correlation. The outcomes of the study demonstrate that higher secondary students generally hold positive attitudes toward private tuition, with significant differences observed in relation to class, gender, and locality. It can be inferred from the research that the primary reasons for the growing prevalence of private tuition are the lack of proper study environments and the inadequacy of school teachers.

Nowe ustalenia dotyczące proweniencji przekazu „Missa super O gloriosa Domina” Marcina Mielczewskiego PL-Wu RM 6243
Authors: Spurgiasz Katarzyna
Published: November 2024

W tekście przedstawione zostały nowe ustalenia dotyczące proweniencji jednego z trzech przekazów Missa super O gloriosa Domina Marcina Mielczewskiego – rękopisu przechowywanego obecnie w Bibliotece Uniwersyteckiej w Warszawie pod sygnaturą RM 6243. W dotychczasowej literaturze przedmiotu wiązano ten rękopis ze Żmigrodem na podstawie not proweniencyjnych, znany był również jeden jego posesor – bliżej niezidentyfikowany Theophilus Freytag. Na podstawie badań archiwalnych udało się zidentyfikować kolejnych dwóch właścicieli tego rękopisu, podpisanych monogramami w notach proweniencyjnych. Pierwszym był Christoph Johann Werner, kantor parafii katolickiej w Żmigrodzie w latach 1655-1672, drugim natomiast – Joannes Chrysostomus Zalaski, kantor parafii katolickich kolejno w Prusicach k. Żmigrodu (1657-1664), Namysłowie (1664-1678) i Brzegu (1678-1705). Rękopis PL-Wu RM 6243 jest więc przykładem recepcji twórczości Mielczewskiego w katolickich ośrodkach Śląska – w chwili obecnej jedynym znanym, którego proweniencja jest źródłowo potwierdzona. W tekście zostały omówione postaci obu posesorów tego rękopisu, a także pokrótce kontekst historyczny – np. udokumentowane źródłowo powiązania między muzycznymi środowiskami Żmigrodu i Namysłowa (gdzie rękopis ten był prawdopodobnie użytkowany).
W poszukiwaniu nowych funkcji słuchu muzycznego
Authors: Kozłowska-Lewna Alicja
Published: November 2024

Artykuł jest interdyscyplinarnym przeglądem najnowszych badań dotyczących słuchu muzycznego. Autorka omawia rozwój słuchu muzycznego w pierwszej dekadzie życia dziecka, zjawisko amuzji oraz zagadnienia związane ze słuchem absolutnym. Uwypukla związki słuchu muzycznego z niektórymi zdolnościami poznawczymi.
Poziom zdolności muzycznych jest niezwykle wysoki już od momentu narodzin. Niemowlęta rodzą się z potencjałem do odbierania dźwięków różnych kultur, rozpoznają subtelne różnice melodyczne i rytmiczne lepiej niż dorośli. Wrażliwość na bodźce słuchowe zmniejsza się wraz z wiekiem a okres nauki czystej intonacji kończy się około dziewiątego roku życia. Z tego między innymi powodu pierwsza dekada życia dziecka jest niezwykle ważna dla poprawnego kształtowania zdolności słuchowych.
Amuzja na świecie jest zjawiskiem niezwykle rzadkim i dotyczy ok. 2,5-4% populacji. W Polsce natomiast - ze względu na zaniedbania edukacyjne - 27% dziesięcioletnich uczniów klas trzecich stanowią dzieci monotoniczne (A. Weiner).
W literaturze wyróżnia się amuzję wrodzoną i nabytą. Amuzja nabyta pojawia się w wyniku uszkodzenia mózgu. Zdaniem autorki używana w ośrodku kanadyjskim definicja amuzji wrodzonej (I. Peretz: „wrodzona amuzja, powszechnie znana jako głuchota tonalna, odnosi się do muzycznych niepełnosprawności, które nie mogą być wyjaśnione przez wcześniejsze uszkodzenia mózgu, utratę słuchu, wady poznawcze lub brak środowiska stymulacji”) rodzi pewne wątpliwości. Brak sprzyjającego środowiska muzycznego jest pojęciem mało precyzyjnym. Niektórzy badacze (m.in. J. A. Sloboda) sugerują, że główną przyczyną amuzji są zaniedbania edukacyjne. Udowodniono, że amuzji towarzyszą: zaburzenia motoryczno-czuciowe, zaburzenia pamięci, zaburzenia organiczne (mniejsza ilość substancji szarej, mniejsza ilość substancji białej, słabsza sieć połączeń synaptycznych, słabsza sieć połączeń między półkulami, słabiej rozwinięta kora słuchowa).
We współczesnych badaniach nad słuchem absolutnym coraz częściej zwraca się uwagę na związek tej zdolności z plastycznością mózgu oraz towarzyszącymi mu umiejętnościami poznawczymi. Potwierdzono silną korelację słuchu absolutnego z wczesną edukacją muzyczną. Anatomiczne i neuronalne podstawy kształtowania się tej zdolności wykazały, że można ją uznać za „muzyczną manifestację” różnych zdolności poznawczych. U osób słyszących absolutnie zaobserwowano bardziej rozległe sieci neuronowe, podwyższoną łączność niektórych obszarów mózgu, większą ilość materii szarej i białej, lepszą pojemność pamięci.
Zasadnicza hipoteza artykułu sprowadza się do udowodnienia tezy, że muzykalność może być traktowana jako model służący sondowaniu innych aspektów poznawczych, w tym głównie pamięci.

Texts by Petrus Wilhelmi de Grudencz in the context of the late medieval ars poetriae
Authors: Awianowicz Bartosz
Published: November 2024

Since the discovery of Petrus Wilhelmi de Grudencz (1392–after 1452) by Jaromír Černy, Grudencz's life and work have become a subject of many studies, but until recently his strictly poetic oeuvre still awaited research. The aim of the present article is to interpret Petrus' texts in the context of medieval artes poetriae, handbooks combining elements of grammar, poetics and above all rhetorics, with which the composer could have become familiar as early as in his native Prussia, and was certainly exposed to them during his long studies in Kraków (1418–30). The handbooks used the most at the Kraków University at the time were Poetria nova by Geoffrey of Vinsauf and Laborintus by Eberhard of Bremen. In the then capital of Poland, or some time later in Vienna, Petrus could have come across De arte prosayca, metrica et rithmica by Jean de Garlande.
In his work, Eberhard of Bremen offers a clear categorization of poetry into poesis metrica based on Classical poetic metres, poesis rithmica or rigmica based on rhyme and rhythm, and a less restricted form of sacred music, known as prosa. Among Petrus Wilhelmi’s 22 compositions (with an acrostic of his name) published by Jaromír Černy, and a dozen or so others identified during the last two decades only two – the composition Presulis eminenciam (I/1), which opens Černý’s edition, and canon (rotulum) Pneuma erumpnosi telluris rei – can be classified as rhythmicized prose from the perspective of the medieval ars poetriae. All the other compositions represent poesis rithmica, and none of them follows the rigours of Classical patterns. As for the works with the acrostic PETRVS, rhytmi compositi prevail, usually with the rhyme patterns abab or aab ccb. The relatively few departures from the rules of poetria can be interpreted as either products of the author's invention (the abab rhyme pattern in Probitate eminentem and the aaab cccda aeae pattern in Presulem ephebeatum) or as a result of some degree of carelessness on the part of either Petrus Wilhelmi himself or the copyist (irregular versification in Pergrata era, Pontifices ecclesiarum and Probitate eminentem). By contrast, in his longest work, titled Pontifices ecclesiarum, Petrus employs stylistic measures crucially advocated by Geoffrey of Vinsauf: ‘elaborate arrangement’ (ordo artificialis) and ‘difficult decorativeness’ (ornatus difficilis).

Authors: Ramadhan Zaky
Published: November 2024

Aplikasi mobile telah mengubah dunia menjadi serba teknologi dan juga perubahan cara kita berinteraksi dengan perangkat secara digital. Menurut data dari Statistika pada tahun 2023 terdapat lebih dari 2,59 juta aplikasi yang tersedia di Google Play Store dan lebih dari 1,64 juta aplikasi di Apple App Store akhir tahun 2022. Data ini menunjukkan ekspansi yang luar biasa dari pasar aplikasi mobile, dimana pengguna smartphone dapat memiliki lebih banyak pilihan aplikasi daripada sebelumnya. Menurut laporan dari Standish Group pada tahun 2021, hanya sekitar 30-40% dari proyek pengembangan perangkat lunak yang dilakukan secara konvensional (metode lama seperti metode Waterfall) dapat dianggap sukses. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa metode pengembangan perangkat lunak yang kurang sesuai dapat berpotensi menyebabkan gagalnya suatu proyek. Dalam hal ini, penting untuk mencari solusi yang tepat untuk mengembangkan aplikasi mobile. Penggunaan metode yang sesuai dapat mengoptimalkan pengembangan aplikasi, mengurangi resiko kegagalan, dan meningkatkan tingkat keberhasilan. Dalam artikel ini, penulis akan membandingkan beberapa metode perancangan dan pengembangan yang biasanya digunakan dalam pengembangan aplikasi mobile, serta memberikan pengetahuan tentang bagaimana pemilihan metode dapat mempengaruhi kesuksesan proyek. Penulis akan membahas metode Waterfall, Agile, Rapid Application Development (RAD), Prototype, dan Mobile D, serta melihat bagaimana metode-metode ini dapat digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan pengembangan aplikasi mobile yang optimal. Dengan melihat data-data statistik di atas dan tantangan dalam pengembangan aplikasi mobile, penelitian ini bertujuan memberikan panduan yang berguna bagi pengembang dan pemilik proyek dalam mengambil keputusan untuk memilih metode perancangan dan pengembangan yang sesuai untuk kesuksesan proyek aplikasi mobile.

Published: November 2024

We investigate the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms that are audit committee characteristics, board characteristics and earnings management. We used 150 listed firms in Bursa Malaysia as our sample. We analyse our data using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression. Our study found that the size of the board negatively related to earnings management. This suggest that large board are able to provide effective monitoring mechanism to the firm in combating earnings management. Besides, our result also exhibit that the independence of audit committee is also associated with higher earnings management. We conclude that the role of corporate governance mechanisms are important determinants in reducing earnings management in the firms in Malaysia.

Authors: Ara Anjuman , Zainol Zuraidah , Duraisamy Balaganesh
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect privacy awareness as well as security concerns both on trust, privacy awareness, security concerns and further trust on information sharing then privacy awareness only on security concerns on platforms for social networking. A quantaitative approach was used in this research. 500 students from public universities who ranged in age of 18 to 29 were used as a selected sample for the data collection. A questionnaire as an instrument was used to obtain the actual data and the selection of respondents was made using the systematic street-intercept method. To analyse the data, descriptive analysis and covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) were employed. Outcomes of the research revealed that privacy awareness (PA) significantly predicts security concerns (SC). A significant predictor of trust is shown to have both PA and SC. However, the effect of PA is positive, while SC is negative. Only PA and trust significantly affect the information sharing (IS), not SC. Trust is more likely to increase the willingness to share information, but the higher the SC, the less likely for the students to share information. In conclusion, to promote IS on social media platforms, trust should be built among the users. Despite that privacy awareness could reduce the willingness to share information, it plays a critical role to build trust. In implication, to win and secure the online users, the online service providers and sellers should overcome the trust and privacy issues.

This study investigates the impact of integrating YouTube videos as a supplementary teaching method in tax education, focusing on enhancing awareness and knowledge of tax-related subjects. The research involved 96 second-year students pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting at the Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The study uses an experimental research design where pre and post-data of control and experimental groups were collected and analysed accordingly. Results revealed that students in the experimental group, who received supplementary instruction through YouTube videos, demonstrated significantly higher tax awareness and knowledge improvements than their counterparts in the control group. The theoretical framework of Social Constructivism, as proposed by Vygotsky, underpins this research, emphasising the role of social interactions and collaborative learning in knowledge construction. These findings underscore the potential of YouTube as an effective tool for enhancing tax education in higher institutions. They suggest that the strategic incorporation of YouTube into the curriculum can significantly augment students’ understanding and awareness of taxation matters, thereby contributing to improved financial literacy. As modern education continues to evolve, the study encourages further exploration of digital tools like YouTube to enhance learning outcomes and elevate awareness of real-world financial issues. The study’s implications extend to the broader field of education and underscore the need for further empirical research in tax education and other disciplines to validate the transformative potential of YouTube and similar digital platforms.

The financial industry has been impacted by the increased use and reliance on digital technologies, which has resulted in the digitalization of financial products, services, and providers. This transformation highlights the importance of individuals' digital financial literacy (DFL). Accordingly, this study determines the prevalence of DFL among young adults in Malaysia. An online questionnaire was designed using Google Forms and a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) link was used to distribute the survey on several social media platforms. Respondents were selected using a convenience sampling and 229 responded to the survey. The survey sought to measure DFL in four dimensions: knowledge of digital financial products and services, awareness of digital financial risks, knowledge of digital financial risk control, and knowledge of consumer rights and redress procedures. The results show that Malaysian young adults score medium-high to high on all four dimensions of DFL and have a good understanding of DFL. This study is important for both academics and practitioners. It contributes to the limited knowledge in DFL, which is a new concept with little empirical evidence, and thus serves as a catalyst for future DFL research. As the world progresses towards digitalization, having DFL is essential. This study supports the government, educational institutions, and policy makers in developing financial literacy programmes and policies related to DFL towards improving the well-being of Malaysians and the national vision of shared prosperity to become a high-income nation by 2030.

The analysis of parental opinions revealed that some favorable and unfavorable changes occurred in the children’s playing, sleeping, eating, and hygiene habits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Emotional problems such as boredom, fear, anxiety, irritability, and impatience were found to be more common in children compared to the pre-pandemic period, together with behavioral problems such as non-obedience, desire to attract attention, aggression, hyperactivity, conflicts between siblings. According to the results, COVID-19 pandemic has not only physical but also psychological effects. This study emphasizes the importance of supporting and helping families in the psychological well-being of children during social isolation.
Physical activity and preschool children: Preschool teachers' perceptions
Authors: Senol Fatma Betul
Published: November 2024

In this study, it is aimed to understand the perceptions of preschool teachers around the physical activity levels of children in preschool period and the factors that increase or limit their physical activity. The case study design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. In addition to maximum variation sampling from purposeful sampling types was used in the selection of the study group. A total of 102 teachers, out of 296 teachers, working in 85 schools were reached. The semi-structured interview form prepared by the researcher was used as the data collection tool. As a result of this study, it was seen that most of preschool teachers had positive opinions about physical activity, they gave importance to physical activity in their classroom activities, and they applied physical activity regularly and in a systematic plan. Preschool teachers are aware of the contribution and importance of physical activity to children, and it is thought that if arrangements are made in line with their suggestions to perform physical activity, children will be more physically active. Teachers made suggestions to improve physical conditions, to have regular PA, to direct them to sports, to ensure that children exercise at home with family education, and to plan the plans interesting so that they can include more PA and make children more physically active. Policy makers, healthcare providers, and teachers should take into account these recommendations and provide various supports to increase children's PA levels.

Published: November 2024

Fuzzy logic has been introduced as a modeler suitable for many situations where the data may be uncertain, and difficult to be described via the existing exact and analytic tools. However, although fuzzy models have succeeded to fit many situations, they fail in many others especially nonlinear, non-stationary, volatile, fuzzy, and fluctuated data such as financial time series. In this context, the need has emerged for more effective models to describe the data while preserving the fuzzy model as a basic descriptor of data fuzziness. In the present work, we develop a hybrid approach combining the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model with the wavelet decomposition to investigate financial time series as complex systems. The new approach showed effectively a high performance compared to existing methods via error estimates and Lyapunov theory of stability. The model is applied empirically to the Saudi Arabia Tadawul market traded over the period January 01, 2011, to December 31, 2022, a period characterized by many critical movements and phenomena such as the Arab Spring, Qatar embargo, Yemen war, NEOM project, 2030 KSA vision and the last COVID-19 pandemic, which makes its study of great importance to understand markets situations and also for policymakers, managers and investors.
Barriers to Smallholder Farmers in Production and Marketing of Wheat in Karatu District, North Tanzania
Authors: Tarimo Bonaventura Audifas , Majale Christine Lucy
Published: November 2024

Smallholder farmers are central to the development of the agriculture sector and they are crucial in contributing to the food security of the majority. Wheat is the fourth most consumed crop in Tanzania. However, the country’s production is only 20% of the consumption demand regardless of the suitable resources for crop productivity. This study aimed to explore the main barriers to smallholder wheat production as the driver in securing national food security and economic development. More specifically, the objectives of this paper were to identify the challenges of Karatu smallholder farmers in the production and marketing of wheat, the extent of the wheat market and the factors that determine farmers' market decisions. Simple random sampling was used to select household respondents from five villages. The collected data from the field, households, and institutions was analyzed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences tool. Estimation of the average yields was done by considering the recorded harvest of farmers and weighing them to a randomly selected number of harvest units. Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine the level of influence of independent variables on wheat production and marketing by smallholder farmers. The paper derives a significant level of contribution of numerous variables to the farmers’ production and marketing of wheat in the Karatu district. It was found that smallholder wheat production in Karatu is hindered by various challenges while capital and abiotic variables play the most roles. The findings revealed that the amount of yields was less than one tonne per hectare which indicates below average production. Low yields were a result of the intensity of production challenges and constraints. Additionally, wheat price advantage, capital support, and technical and market assurance emerge as the dominant influences on smallholder farmers' market participation. This paper provides useful information for economic development, specifically information for making relevant decisions on the use of scarce agricultural resources in wheat production and reformulation of agricultural development policies through updated wheat production and marketing information
