Authors: Turra Gracia M. S. , Melinda Tina
Published: March 2021

The Indonesian government provides an incentive to develop entrepreneurship to boost economic growth and to prepare for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) by increasing the entrepreneurial intentions of the Indonesian people. One way to develop entrepreneurial intentions is to apply entrepreneurship education early on. The Singapore National Academy (SNA) is an international school that offers the Business subject from grades 9 - 12. SNA also offers another form of entrepreneurship education, which is the Enterprising co-curricular activity (CCA) that is more focused on projectbased learning. This study was conducted in SNA, which has students of various ethnic groups who mostly have parents with an entrepreneurial background. The purpose of this study was to elucidate whether personal attitude (PA), subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC) affect the intention of entrepreneurship of students who are joining CCA Enterprising and students who are not joining CCA Enterprising in SNA. The sample consisted of 60 respondents, including 30 students of CCA Enterprising and 30 students who were not in CCA Enterprising, who were recruited using a saturated sampling technique. Based on the results of the discriminant analysis with the stepwise method, all variables (subjective norm, personal attitude and perceived behavioral control) affected the entrepreneurial intention of students who were joining CCA Enterprising compared with students who were not joining CCA Enterprising. There was a significant difference between the entrepreneurship intentions of those in CCA Enterprising compared with those who were not.

On average, the income of the SMEs in Cepaka Village decreased by 50%. The differentiation strategy consisted of a cost leadership strategy, service variations, expansion of marketing channels and special promotions of 20-30%. Only 3% of SMEs added marketing personnel. The implementation of digital marketing with the Five As approach did not work as intended. Digital marketing had to be done because of the demands of the Covid-19 pandemic, but the impact from this digital marketing strategy has shifted and did not perform optimally. The purchasing decisions were not based on Aware, Appeal, Ask; however, the purchasing decisions were made because of the priority needs and impacts of Covid-19. There was no brand loyalty or repurchase. The implication of this research was to provide a reference for SMEs to prioritize operations in the Covid-19 pandemic or other emergency situations that disrupt the operations of SMEs.

Authors: Anggraeny Rurid Dwi , Baihaqi Imam
Published: March 2021

The e-commerce industry has the potential to be one of the drivers of the domestic economy. One of the impacts of the advancement of e-commerce is the emergence of many online-based marketplaces or so-called e-marketplaces. However, a lot of these online marketplaces sell 90% imported products. In addition, the outbreak of Covid-19 in Indonesia has prompted the government to establish several policies that have significantly reduced MSME performance by up to 70-100%. This study aimed to provide an empirical analysis of the influence of factors based on the Technology of Acceptance Model (TAM) approach, namely e-marketplace self-efficacy, complexity, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards using, behavioral intention to use, and actual technology use in e-marketplaces. The sample consisted of MSMEs in East Java, especially those engaged in the food and beverage industry sector with ready-to-eat processed food products whose business activities use the Shopee e-marketplace application platform. This is an online shopping marketplace focused on mobile platforms. There were 150 respondents. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used. E-marketplace self-efficacy, complexity, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards using, behavioral intention to use, and actual technology use in e-marketplaces all had positive effects on each other. This showed that a system that offers convenience will improve behavior, habits, and performance for MSMEs in using e-marketplace activities. The theoretical and methodological implications and opportunities for further research are discussed.

The terms “human rights activities” and “human rights system” are widely used in domestic law and law enforcement practice. The human rights dimension is represented in the functioning of almost all public authorities, from the ordinary police officer to the head of State. For many State and non-State organizations, human rights activities are profiling. Between, the category of human rights activities is not established in the special literature, nor is there a legislative definition of the concept, scope and subject of this sphere of activity. Accordingly, there is no proper coordination of human rights activities on the part of public authorities. The article specifies the content of the human rights function of the state and proposes approaches to increase its effectiveness.

The author considers the constitutional legalization of arbitration proceedings to be positive. Negative — the gap in the unity of the status of Russian judges, two provisions, as well as the assignment of quasi-judicial functions to the President of the Russian Federation and the Federation Council in relation to a part of the judicial corps. Surprising-constitutional bans for judges to have citizenship, residence permit, etc. of another state, as well as to have accounts in foreign banks located outside the Russian Federation, and store money and valuables in them, since these bans were established by law in 2008 and 2013. The author refers to the following missing but necessary innovations: constitutional consolidation of the institution of judicial assessors, along with professional judges who administer justice; it is also prohibited for judges (along with other categories of persons holding public positions) to own real estate objects in foreign countries.

Transitional Justice and Reconciliation in the Western Balkans: Approaches, Impacts and Challenges
Authors: Haider Huma
Published: March 2021

Countries in the Western Balkans have engaged in various transitional justice and reconciliation initiatives to address the legacy of the wars of the 1990s and the deep political and societal divisions that persist. There is growing consensus among scholars and practitioners that in order to foster meaningful change, transitional justice must extend beyond trials (the dominant international mechanism in the region) and be more firmly anchored in affected communities with alternative sites, safe spaces, and modes of engagement. This rapid literature review presents a sample of initiatives, spanning a range of sectors and fields – truth-telling, art and culture, memorialisation, dialogue and education – that have achieved a level of success in contributing to processes of reconciliation, most frequently at the community level. It draws primarily from recent studies, published in the past five years. Much of the literature available centres on Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), with some examples also drawn from Serbia, Kosovo and North Macedonia.
Community-based conservation of crop genetic resources
Authors:   International Potato Center (CIP), Peru, de Haan Stef
Published: March 2021

This chapter explores the current state of research, knowledge and practice of community-based conservation in the context of continued farmer-driven processes and the emergence of diverse external interventions. Autonomous community-based conservation is largely powered by farmer demand for crop diversity. Cultural, provisioning and regulating ecosystem services play an essential role. It is argued that an enhanced understanding of the drivers and rationales influencing farmers decision-making continues to be essential under the current scenario of accelerated global change. A large and diverse portfolio of exogenous interventions have emerged since on-farm conservation has become a development issue. A variety of different interventions designed to support on-farm conservation for are reviewed. This chapter also highlights the need for an effective monitoring framework for community-based management of crop genetic resources. Such a systems could enhance the measurement, metrics and intelligence underlying the on-farm conservation status of crops and landraces.
Participatory plant breeding programs to optimize use of crop genetic resources
Authors:   Cornell University, USA, Smith Margaret , Dawson J. C. ,   University of Wisconsin- Madison, USA
Published: March 2021

This chapter summarizes a sample of variety evaluation, experimental design, and breeding method innovations that have served as solid approaches for participatory plant breeding (PPB) efforts. With success in PPB comes success in conservation at a local level of useful alleles and allele assemblages in the form of on-farm crop genetic resources. PPB programs of this sort have the potential to add value to local or traditional varieties that might otherwise be abandoned, thus promoting their in situ conservation. This chapter briefly touches on methodologies to assess farmers’ variety preferences. This is followed by sections that highlight some experimental designs for on-farm variety evaluation and farmer-participatory breeding methods for combining in-situ conservation with genetic improvement. Finally, some of the challenges that may limit genetic gain from PPB programs are noted – problems that increase the risk of wholesale replacement of on-farm genetic diversity rather than conservation through improvement.
Seed systems and diversity
Authors:   Plantum and Wageningen University, Law Group, The Netherlands, Louwaars Niels
Published: March 2021

Farmers use various seed systems to obtain seeds for their next crop. The diversity of seeds determines, together with other aspects of the farming system, the biodiversity in farmed areas. Conservation strategies for crop genetic resources distinguish ex situ, on-farm and in situ components. The on-farm management of such resources is highly influenced by the seed systems that farmers use. Next to primary and secondary centres of diversity, this chapter introduces a tertiary source of diversity, based on the creation of new diversity through modern breeding. The impact of different seed systems on the management of crop genetic diversity is also analysed.
“Was Atatürk gay?”. Construction of an Other in Turkish and Greek media
Authors: Stęplewski Artur
Published: March 2021

The paper presents the issue of media manipulation in Turkey and Greece, the direct aim of which is to discredit Kemal Pasha Atatürk. Gaps in the biography of the creator of the Republic of Turkey are interpreted by journalists as evidence that he was gay. Homosexuality is treated as a deviation that compromises a man, a politician and a leader. The sign gay is semantized in the discourse as foreign / different. Using critical discourse analysis, I present the extra-linguistic context of media statements. In Turkey, these are political and religious changes, along with a new policy of remembrance. In Greece, the attack is based on successive conflicts between the two neighbours over domination in the eastern Mediterranean.
Politeness and arrogance as marketing strategies in public discourse
Authors: Kiełbiewska Anna M.
Published: March 2021

Although provocative messaging within advertisement content is often based on breaking social taboos and on shocking, it does not always have to be this way. Even superficial content analysis of contemporary marketing communication and observation of public discourse indicate that marketers are avoiding literality. These provocative messages are subtle, their authors are interpreting the conventionality, referring to language usus, cultural norms and morals codes, such as social etiquette. Consequently we receive messages full of wit, ironic or arrogant catchwords, offering an intellectual play with the recipients in such a sophisticated field as the code of good manners. Deepened content analysis and rhetorical analysis of the collected research material will prove that a wide and unconscious part of our social life is the code of good manners. It will also show how much marketing potential derives from our beliefs, reactions and aspirations about so-called good manners.
The construct of mature woman in media discourse — a critical analysis
Authors: Wójcik Kaja
Published: March 2021

A woman’s maturity places her somewhere between youth and old age. A woman trapped between the two receives advice to help her break free.

Examines the positive and negative sides of distance education in aspects of quality of education and economic efficiency of the distance learning software that are used in the training for the selected training areas/specialties. In the course of the research conducted by the method of questioning students, it was revealed that at the current time, 69.7% of students have none of the programs they need for further direct training of their profession on their home computers. Considering the provision of students with the software they need to study basic subjects, it was found that 24.5% of students have Microsoft Office 2007 or earlier installed on their personal computers (PCs) or laptops, that is, SOFTWARE that is already considered obsolete. Thus, almost every fourth student, when performing practical, laboratory, course work using a software package for working in the office, experiences difficulties.

Thus, almost every fourth student, when performing practical, laboratory, course work using a software package for working in the office, experiences difficulties. Why the computer works even slower and with various failures and failures. Moreover, the specified percentage may also be even higher, since 8.6% of students could not answer what OS they have installed. Studying in the traditional form of training, this lack of hardware and SOFTWARE is eliminated, since in the University’s computer classes, there are PCs that support reliable operation with Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 2010 and are protected from viruses and attacks by installed and constantly updated antivirus programs. The article reveals the problems that affect the quality of students’ education when switching to distance learning. Namely, the absence or non-compliance of Hardware and SOFTWARE for students’ computers and laptops with modern requirements for Hardware and SOFTWARE for performing teachers’ tasks. The author concludes that when switching to full distance education in technical specialties, the state will lose, according to the most optimistic forecasts, from 19.8 to 69.7% of well-prepared students only because their education does not meet modern requirements.
