Authors: Moonti Agustinus , Adam Echan
Published: October 2022

Konsumen cenderung menjadi alergi terhadap iklan dan berupaya menghindari tayangan iklan diberbagai media digital. Adanya perilaku penghindaran iklan menyebabkan iklan produk yang dibuat menjadi berlebihan tanpa penonton. Sebab konsumen cenderung anti terhadap iklan. Tujuan utama dari penelitian adalah untuk melihat bagaimana Smart Digital Content Marketing (SDCM) dapat mempengaruhi perilaku pengindaran iklan, sehingga menjadi bahan evaluasi bagi UMKM dalam adopsi SDCM sebagai bentuk strategi pemasaran di era digital. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian explanatory dimana menguji hubungan antar variabel dalam satu model penelitian. Sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 100 responden. Tehnik analisis data menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) dengan bantuan software smart-PLS 2.0. Secara umum penelitian menemukan bahwa SDCM tidak mampu meredam perilaku menghindaran iklan tanpa perilaku rasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa SDCM berpengaruh negatif dan siginifikan terhadap perilaku rasional, namun berpengaruh tidak signifikan terhadap penghindaran iklan. Sementara itu, perilaku rasional memberi pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap penghindaran iklan. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa SDCM mampu memperpengaruhi secara negatif dan signifikan terhadap penghindaran iklan yang dimediasi oleh perilaku rasional. Kebaruan penelitian yang ditemukan berada pada peran perilaku rasional yang mampu memediasi gap antara SDCM dan perilaku penghindaran iklan.

Authors: Haryanto Lorenta In
Published: October 2022

Grape vines are cultivated in South Tangerang City, not only by farmers, but also by members of a grape community. This research aimed 1) to describe the characteristics of grape farmers, 2) to show the perspective of grapes farmer, and 3) to identify problems and expectations in carrying out grape vines cultivation in South Tangerang City. Data collected through the interview, observation and sharing questionnaires. The number of samples was determined proportionally to 68 grape farmers, who are members of the grape community in South Tangerang City (KAT). The results showed that grape farmers tended to be knowledgeable and educated, specified by productive age (20-40 years old) with less experiences in grape cultivation. Based on the perspective analysis, farmers were attracted to grape farming not because of the influence of farm-families background, but because of hobbies and self interest in grapes cultivation. Farmers considered that agriculture was a noble and a matter of pride. The most common problems facing grape farmers were the insufficient land, inadequate agricultural funding base, and formulating the ideal growing media. The results of the expectation analysis proved that training program was the most desired assistance for farmers, especially effort to increase grape productivity.

Authors: Baruwadi Mahludin H. , Akib Fitri Hadi Yulia , Adam Echan
Published: October 2022

The present work aims to investigate 1) the inequality and income structure of maize farmers’ households; and 2) the contribution of maize farming to the household income of the farmer. Furthermore, this research was conducted in Gorontalo Regency for four months. It relied on the survey method, in which the data were collected from questionnaires and interviews. The data consisted of primary data from 132 maize farmers randomly selected from each area using the proportional allocation method. All data were analyzed using the quantitative descriptive method, Gini coefficient, and z-test for proportions. According to the results, moderate inequality was caused if the household income was from maize farming and other farming. The inequality would be categorized high if the non-farming income was included in the calculation. Based on the income structure, this inequality was likely to occur since the non-farming income contributed significantly to the percentage of the total income of high-income farmers. Maize farming income was significant to the farmers’ household income, meaning that farmers relied on maize farming as their primary income source.

Published: October 2022

Background: This research aims to isolate and identify bacterial and fungal spoilage organisms in branded and unbranded milk, as well as to assess the parameters linked to milk safety risk. A total of 30 samples were collected for laboratory testing. For analysis, the samples were inoculated on several mediums. The bacterial and fungal isolates were identified using Gram staining and biochemical identification methods. Results: According to the findings, Klebsiella spp. and Escherichia coli are the most common bacteria found in isolated organisms from branded and unbranded milk (22.6%). Meanwhile, 8.8% of both Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus faecalis were found in the samples. 3.7% of Serratia marcescens and some Streptococcus species were all identified in the samples. At the milk outlets, regularly opening containers to sell milk and predisposing the milk to hand contamination increased the risk of contamination by environmental contaminants. Survey was done with 60 respondents, 37 (61.67%) said they were aware of the health risks associated with milk. Twenty-three people (38.33%) said they knew about diseases linked to drinking contaminated milk. It also discovered that there was no formal food hygiene training for any of the food handlers. However, 11.7% of the workers had advanced training in a variety of fields. Conclusions: The microorganisms associated with milk products' spoilage in this study are of economical and public health significance. Some strains of A. flavus have been reported to produce potent mycotoxins called ochratoxin that can be harmful to human beings and animals. Cares should be taken on the handling of milk and milk products. And the improved preservation methods should be suggested to enhance the quality of milk products. The findings of the study provide a foundation for developing better milk policies.

Published: October 2022

Ilgėjant gyvenimo trukmei, dėl socialinių priežasčių atidedant nėštumo planavimą, tobulėjant medicinos technologijoms, vis daugiau moterų renkasi pastoti vyresniame amžiuje, naudodamosi pagalbinio apvaisinimo technologijomis. Nors ilgus metus reprodukcinis moters amžius ribojo nėštumo ir gimdymo galimybę, pastarųjų dešimtmečių pažanga leidžia tuo pasinaudoti ir pomenopauzinio amžiaus moterims (toliau – PAM). Minėtas medicinos proveržis sukėlė aršias diskusijas, nagrinėjančias lygiateisiško pagalbinio apvaisinimo metodų PAM etinius ir moralinius aspektus. Literatūroje plačiai aptariami pomenopauzinio amžiaus moterų pagalbinio apvaisinimo aspektai skatina atsižvelgti tiek į galimą su amžiumi susijusią didesnę sudėtingo nėštumo riziką, tiek į būsimo vaiko gerovės, etiško resursų skirstymo, diskriminacijos, lyties bei amžiaus pagrindu klausimus, tačiau kartu primena ir apie pamatinę kiekvieno žmogaus teisę į reprodukcinę autonomiją.

Bob Marley and Gender- Friendly Lyrics: A Critical Discourse On Feminist Response On “No Woman, No Cry”
Authors: Okeugo Oluchi Chris , Obioha Jane Onyinye , Adetunji Babatunde Dele
Published: October 2022

The existing great strides on cultural feminist demonstration towards developing techniques to preventing domestic violence, and other forms of social construct against women, navigate through resistance and pragmatic ingenuity as a commendable role in appraising the songs of Bob Marley, owing to the constructive criticism the diction of his lyric songs possess. The Jamaican society where Marley’s songs are set is a physical, social and economic violence society which is against women, most especially the poor women of colour, who are perpetuated in part by top down globalization. This article demonstrates how resistance permeates through pragmatic ingenuity and feminist metaphors to embellish and address a set of approaches to legal scholarship rooted in feminist and anti- racist critical traditions, thereby reconceptualizing the human right problems facing Black women who migrate between the United States and Jamaica. Marley’s cultural feminist song “No Woman No Cry” depicts that Jamaica (Caribbean) women have become the private solution to the public problem of fundamental race, class, and gender inequalities in United States. Admissibly, critical race feminist approach requires prospective strategies to be pragmatic and metaphorical, as well as theoretical. It, however, requires a difficult process of building coalitions among women and men who sometimes resist seeing their common interest being trampled on. This scholarly work, therefore, aims at adopting post-colonial feminist theory as a theory that permeates through the subject matter of Marley’s   lyric song and attempts to give a critical appraisal of the song from the post- colonial   perspective through his poetic diction of the post- colonial feminist society.

Authors: Simion Korir , Koech Joseph , Ayanga Hazel
Published: October 2022

Peacebuilding with all members of the community in view of stemming potential and existing tension has become a necessity. In majority of politically and ethnically instigated violence, such as in the Kenyan post-election violence of 2008 and 2017, the Church was a major player in peace building processes as well as in the reconciliation process. This paper endeavoured to explore the available peace building models adopted by the Church in Kenya since 2008. To attain the mentioned objectives, the study engaged the Fowler theory of faith development. This was a qualitative research that applied the use of interviews and Focus Group discussions in the collection of primary data while secondary data used in this research was acquired through the review of documents and other relevant literature in public libraries and Church archives. Purposive sampling techniques were used to identify respondents, and the data analysed using context analysis. The study established Peace building models used by the Church were Mounting of Humanitarian Response Model and Policy advocacy which were done through Dialogue, Seminars, Evangelism, Sports and cultural events. These approaches to some extent helped to mitigate tension and violence in the region. Youth mentorship programs by the Church contributed to instilling the values of unity, honesty, peaceful co-existence as well as self-reliance among youth in the region and the society at large. The study recommends that religious organizations such as the National Council of Churches in Kenya (NCCK) and leaders should pursue peace building by ensuring that justice to all is achieved through methods that have respect for the people and also allow for the restoration of relations that foster and seek to correct injustices in regard to the fundamental values of human rights. The Kenyan Church should join many other faith-based peace advocates who endeavour to put into practise the principles of their belief in a manner that enables the building of local, regional, nationwide, as well as global machineries favourable for peace.
Opportunities and Potential of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) production in Ethiopia
Authors: Bekele Desta
Published: October 2022

Hot pepper (Capsicum annuum var. L) is the most common Capsicum pepper in Ethiopia. It is growing in different agro ecological conditions leading to economically important variability for improvement. The objective of this review is to study the opportunities and potential of hot pepper production in Ethiopia. Ethiopia has the opportunities of hot pepper production like introduction of new varieties, suitable agro ecology, the expansion of infrastructure, access to foreign markets, and the expansion of technology like telecommunication. Production of hot pepper is limited in many factors like diseases incidence, lack of improved varieties, soil fertility and extension services. Generally, we conclude that Ethiopia has conducive environment for hot pepper production. In future government should have to take the responsibility to improve the production of hot pepper.

Authors: Kuma Mesfin , Yilma Getachew , Redi Musefa
Published: October 2022

Soil acidity problem is one of the bottlenecks to improve crop production in high rainfall regions of Ethiopia in general and in Banja district particular. This study aimed to determine the residual effect of lime and P fertilizer on the acid properties of soils and to develop models whereby the change in acidity indicators of soils can be predicted as a result of lime application. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Five levels of lime (0, 1.15, 2.3, 3.45, 4.6 t ha-1) and four levels of Phosphorous (0, 10, 20, and 30 kg ha-1) were combined in a complete factorial arrangement. The study was conducted for three consecutive years from 2015 to 2017 main cropping seasons at Banja district. Mean grain yield and yield components as affected by different levels of lime and phosphorus fertilizer. Analysis of variance showed that all limed treatments were higher mean values of grain yield and yield components relative to control plot (no lime and P) in all over combined cropping years. Moreover, over year combined mean the highest grain yields (1115.9 kg ha-1), biomass yields (3591.2 kg ha-1), number of seeds per plant (21.54), plant height (64.50 cm) and spike length (5.24 cm) were recorded under 4.6 t ha-1 of lime application of plot. The lowest grain and biomass yields were recorded in control plots. However, over year mean 4.6 t ha-1 of lime application plot the grain yield and biomass yield of wheat were increased by (151.1%) and (123.3%) related to the control plot, respectively. Hence, lime application at the rate of 3.45 t ha-1 (150% of the lime requirement of the soils based on its exchangeable acidity) coupled with 20 kg ha-1 P fertilizer could serve as a reference to boosting wheat production in the study area and similar areas with possible re-liming of the soils in every five years.
Metal Matrix Composites Development and The Potential of Sugarcane Bagasse and Coir Fibre: A Review
Authors: Barah Obinna Onyebuchi , Onyeloweb Kennedy , Olotua Emmanuel B.O. , Dennison Milon Selvam
Published: October 2022

Sugarcane bagasse (SB) and Coir fibre (CF) are two cellulose fibres/agricultural waste products found to constitute great environmental challenges, this has initiated a need to study them for probable potentialities as alternative use in the field of material science and engineering development apart from their localized usage. Consequently, this paper intends at reviewing these two agricultural waste material compositions characteristically to identify their potential development as renewable composite materials. Sugarcane bagasse has a chemical composition within the range of 88.13%, while Coir fibre varies from 25% - 76% of silica content depending on the type of treatment. This is a good quality material for composite production. The compatibility of these cellulose reinforcing agents and their adhesive matrix can be linked to their high cellulose, lignin, and other fibre contents and these can be explored in developing a multiphased system with different properties from the original components while retaining the qualities of the material among other potentials. These two agricultural by-products are good sources of fuel for electricity generation and agents of pozzolanic and polymerization with polypropylene for flame retardation. To conclude, therefore, SB and CF are decent resources for composites production and renewable energy, with excellent biodegradable characteristics consequently controlling environmental degradation.

Authors: Anane Mabel
Published: October 2022

The aim of the study was to discover the extent to which the Ghana Education Service (GES) ensures continuous upgrading of the competencies of the non-teaching staff of the service. The study was conducted in senior high schools in a district in the Central region of Ghana. The various non-teaching staff of the senior high schools constituted the population of the study. The study followed the qualitative approach using exploratory design to guide the conduct of the study. Interview guide was the main instrument used to generate data from the study participants. The study disclosed that the non-teaching staff of GES do attend training and development programmes, although not enough. The training and development programmes they attend mainly take the form of workshop. The participants indicated that the few training and development programmes they have attended have been beneficial to them and their service delivery. They however expressed some concerns with the programmes they attend which when addressed would help a lot. The study therefore recommends that GES should endeavour to regularly offer training and development programmes to the non-teaching staff of the senior high schools to help them updgrade their knowledge and skills to make them more effective in their service delivery.

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in an imperfect production process under breakdown consideration
Authors: Shaw Bijoy Kumar , Sangal Isha , Sarkar Biswajit
Published: October 2022

A long-run manufacturing system can experience machine breakdown at any time for various reasons such as unskilled labor or outdated machinery technology. In an integrated green inventory model, the produced green products cannot all be perfect throughout a cycle, particularly when machines malfunction. Therefore, an inspection policy is introduced to clean the production process from unusable defect products, the correctness of which depends on the discussion of the inspected errors. The perfect products detected via the inspection process are delivered to the retailer as well as the market. To transport green products, it is essential to control the capacity of the containers and the quantities of green products transported per batch. In this study, the greenhouse gas equivalence factor of CO$ _2 $ emissions is calculated for all green products' manufacturing and transportation mediums. These types of energies are used in the manufacturing process: electricity, natural gas, and coal. Whereas within transportation, four transportation modes are considered: railways, roadways, airways, and waterways. The retailer can agree to transport their inventories to the customers' house according to their requirement by requiring a third-party local agency via outsourcing criteria. The model solves the problem of CO$ _2 $ emissions through production and transportation within the machine breakdown.

Authors: De Pascale Francesco , Ferraro Giuseppe
Published: October 2022

This paper will describe the creation of an interactive and flexible map through which news and information relating to the tangible and intangible cultural and natural heritage of the Sila National Park area (Calabria, southern Italy, related to the Italian Risorgimento period) were collected. The map, which can be updated daily, can be accessed by clicking on a location's reference. The pop-up window contains information for each character, monument, commemorative plaque and palace linked to the history of the Risorgimento. Anthropological and oral traditions linked to the affected area are also listed. The map is enriched by a focus on significant archaeological presences, characters and productive activities linked to the Risorgimento or our present time. Each pop-up is also characterized by the possibility of viewing any photographs and historical documentation, as well as research videos and educational and informative material. This paper's research questions concern 1) how the thematic map on Google Maps can be useful for educational purposes and 2) how the map was used to enhance the cultural and natural heritage of the Sila National Park and to promote an ethics-based tourism during and after the pandemic. The historical-geographical itinerary of the map, therefore, offers hints and suggestions for sustainable cultural tourism initiatives open to international context and proximity. Neogeographic technologies such as Google Maps have been used because they facilitate and stimulate the sharing and production of geographic information. In the case of this map, it was created from a bottom-up approach that involved local stakeholders and scholars.

Authors: Zain Syed Ahmad Aidil Adha Said Mad , Misro Md Yushalify
Published: October 2022

Designing complex surfaces is one of the major problems in industries such as the automotive, shipbuilding and aerospace industries. To solve this problem, continuity conditions between surfaces are applied to construct the complex surfaces. The geometric and parametric continuities are the two metrics that usually have been used in connecting surfaces. However, the conventional geometric and parametric continuities have significant limitations. The existing continuity conditions only allow the two surfaces to be joined at the end of the boundary point. Therefore, if the designers want to connect at any arbitrary line of the first surface, the designers must use the subdivision method to splice the surfaces. Nevertheless, this method is tedious and involves a high computational cost, especially when dealing with a higher degree order of surfaces. Thus, this paper presents fractional continuity of degree two (or $ F^2 $) for generalized fractional Bézier surfaces. The fractional parameter embedded in the generalized fractional Bézier basis functions will solve the mentioned limitation by introducing fractional continuity. The generalized fractional Bézier surface also has excellent shape parameters that can alter the shape of the surface without changing the control points. Thus, the shape parameters enable the control of the shape flexibility of the surfaces, while fractional parameters enable the control of the adjustability of the surfaces' size. The $ F^2 $ continuity for generalized fractional Bézier surfaces can become an easier and faster alternative to the subdivision method. Therefore, the fractional continuity for generalized fractional Bézier surfaces will be a good tool to generate complex surfaces due to its flexibility and adjustability of shape and fractional parameters.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, many patients have suffered from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) around the world. In the medical field, it is known that the so-called artificial ventilation device, which has become the mainstay of treatment of such syndrome, decreases mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Due to the high reliability of this device, there is an emergency need to follow up the progress made on designing a robust controller for improving its performance. From this perspective, this work introduces different control design schemes for obtaining an optimal Fractional-order PID controller (or simply $ PI^\rho D^\mu $-controller) of the Artificial Ventilation (AV) system through two optimization algorithms: the Bacteria Foraging Optimization (BFO) and the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms. The realization of the controller is accomplished using four approximations: Oustaloup's approximation, the Continued Fractional Expansion (CFE) approximation and the $ 1^{st} $- and $ 2^{nd} $-order El-Khazali approximations. The validation of the controller design and the AV system behavior are verified via numerical simulation in order to demonstrate the effectiveness and the potency of all proposed schemes.
A model with deep analysis on a large drug network for drug classification
Authors: Wu Chenhao , Chen Lei
Published: October 2022

Drugs are an important means to treat various diseases. They are classified into several classes to indicate their properties and effects. Those in the same class always share some important features. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) DRUG recently reported a new drug classification system that classifies drugs into 14 classes. Correct identification of the class for any possible drug-like compound is helpful to roughly determine its effects for a particular type of disease. Experiments could be conducted to confirm such latent effects, thus accelerating the procedures for discovering novel drugs. In this study, this classification system was investigated. A classification model was proposed to assign one of the classes in the system to any given drug for the first time. Different from traditional fingerprint features, which indicated essential drug properties alone and were very popular in investigating drug-related problems, drugs were represented by novel features derived from a large drug network via a well-known network embedding algorithm called Node2vec. These features abstracted the drug associations generated from their essential properties, and they could overview each drug with all drugs as background. As class sizes were of great differences, synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) was employed to tackle the imbalance problem. A balanced dataset was fed into the support vector machine to build the model. The 10-fold cross-validation results suggested the excellent performance of the model. This model was also superior to models using other drug features, including those generated by another network embedding algorithm and fingerprint features. Furthermore, this model provided more balanced performance across all classes than that without SMOTE.

Bakara Suresi 184. Ayeti Bağlamında Ramazan Orucu Fidyesi
Authors: ÇUÇAK Muhammed
Published: October 2022

Meşruiyeti önceki ümmetlere kadar uzanan Ramazan orucu, İslam’ın beş temel şartından biridir. İslam’ın ilk döneminde isteğe bağlı olarak tutulan oruç zamanla her mükellef tarafından edası farz hale gelmiştir. Gün boyu yeme, içme ve cinsel ilişkiden uzak durmak suretiyle eda edilen orucun ifası için kişinin hem manevi hem de fiziki açıdan hazır olması gerekir. Bu nedenle yolcu ve hasta gibi fizyolojik olarak oruç tutmaya müsait olmayan mazeret sahiplerinin oruç tutmamalarına izin verilmiştir. Böyle bir durumda olup da oruç tutamayan kimsenin tutamadığı orucu telafi edilebilmesi için ileri sürülen yükümlülüklerden biri de fidye verilmesidir. Fidye, fıkıhta sıkça başvurulan ve yerine göre farklı anlam yüklenen bir kavramdır. Ramazan orucu fidyesinden kasıt; hastalık ve yaşlılık gibi şer’î bir özre sahip birinin oruç tutamadığı her gün için bir yoksulu doyurmasıdır. Oruç fidyesi meşruiyetini, âlimler arasında bazı görüş ayrılıkları olmakla birlikte Bakara suresinin 184. âyetinden almıştır. Fidye olarak hurma, buğday ve arpa gibi yiyeceklerin verileceği ileri sürülmüştür.
NATÜRALİZMİN FOTOĞRAF SANATINA ETKİSİ: PETER HENRY EMERSON VE ANSEL ADAMS
Authors: GÖK Kemal
Published: October 2022

Doğanın saflığı üzerine düşüncelerin; M.Ö. 6. yy’da Çinli Lao-Tzu ve Miletli Thales tarafından dile getirilmesi ile günümüz sanat tarihinde, resim, edebiyat ve fotoğraf sanatında natüralist akımın felsefi bakış açısı ile ele alınması, eski dönem filozoflarının düşüncelerinin hala sürmekte olduğu anlamına gelmektedir. Natüralizm; 19. yy’ın ikinci yarısında Fransa’da sanat ve edebiyatta etkisini gösteren, doğanın çeşitli yönlerini betimlemeyi amaç edinen, doğanın işleyişinde süreklilik, düzen ve gelişmeyi, gözlem ve deneylere dayalı olarak bilim ve doğa yasaları çerçevesinde açıklamayı hedefleyen bir sanat akımıdır. Sembolizme tepki olarak doğan natüralizm, ilk olarak ressamlar üzerinde etkisini göstermiştir. 1848’de Fransa’da Avrupa resmini temsilen bir araya gelen birçok ressam, doğayı farklı bir bakış açısıyla yorumlamaya çalıştılar. Bu farklı bakış açısı fotoğraf sanatını da etkileyerek, Peter Henry Emerson ve Ansel Adams’ın natüralist fotoğraflar üretmesine neden oldular. Bu çalışma, natüralist ressam ve fotoğrafçıların çalışmaları incelenerek yapılmıştır.
Review article: A variable level of prostate specific antigen and its relative tests and their probable explanatory diagnosis
Authors: Kudhair Ahmed Hassan , Abbas Hanan Diekan
Published: October 2022

prostate specific antigen is a glycoprotein that liquefy the semen normally. It suppose to be in a very low level abnormally and increase in cases of infection of the prostrate, hyperplasia and tumor. Due to increase and decrease in many other cases not only a tumor and due to high percent of existence in many normal fluids and many other tumor, it somewhat reduce its specifity and sensitivity and so it supported by other test. Aim: it to predict whether that tumor marker is sufficient to the diagnosis of the prostate tumor. Nowadays it had been seen that this tumor marker is secreted from many other fluid beside the prostate gland and found in many other tumor beside the prostate tumor and so it is better to be supported by many other assessments and clinical and histological steps for making  a definite decision.
