Extreme moderates: Understanding low levels of violent extremism in Bosnia-Herzegovina
Authors: Pehlivanović Šejla
Published: August 2024

How can low levels of violent extremism in enabling environments be explained? The post-war history of Bosnia-Herzegovina has been marked by prolonged political crises, economic instability, and precarious security for citizens. The combination of a relatively young, unstable democracy and social grievances creates fertile soil for different forms of radicalization and the proliferation of various extremist ideologies. This has, in turn, allowed extra-institutional groups to challenge formal institutions. Despite this, there have been few violent extremist attacks, and those that have been carried out were small-scale and failed to expose any deep reservoir of violent extremism. What, then, does this deviant case reveal? Utilizing social movement theory and political opportunity structures, this article explores how structural conditions in the political and discursive space of Bosnia-Herzegovina affect the protest repertoires of extremist movements. Two main arguments are put forward. First, extra-institutional groups must be understood as rational actors with broader claims that exceed the use of violence. Second, distinguishing between radicalization that links to violent extremism and radicalization that aims to initiate societal change through non-violent means can help us better understand the dynamics behind societal change in fragile environments.

Nonlinear Binscatter Methods
Authors: Cattaneo Matias D. , Crump Richard K. , Farrell Max H. , Feng Yingjie
Published: August 2024

Binned scatter plots are a powerful statistical tool for empirical work in the social, behavioral, and biomedical sciences. Available methods rely on a quantile-based partitioning estimator of the conditional mean regression function to primarily construct flexible yet interpretable visualization methods, but they can also be used to estimate treatment effects, assess uncertainty, and test substantive domain-specific hypotheses. This paper introduces novel binscatter methods based on nonlinear, possibly nonsmooth M-estimation methods, covering generalized linear, robust, and quantile regression models. We provide a host of theoretical results and practical tools for local constant estimation along with piecewise polynomial and spline approximations, including (i) optimal tuning parameter (number of bins) selection, (ii) confidence bands, and (iii) formal statistical tests regarding functional form or shape restrictions. Our main results rely on novel strong approximations for general partitioning-based estimators covering random, data-driven partitions, which may be of independent interest. We demonstrate our methods with an empirical application studying the relation between the percentage of individuals without health insurance and per capita income at the zip-code level. We provide general-purpose software packages implementing our methods in Python, R, and Stata.

Authors: Islawati Islawati , Arwie Dzikra , Salnus Subakir
Published: August 2024

The purple color in sweet potatoes is caused by the presence of natural pigments known as anthocyanins. The concentration of anthocyanins varies among purple sweet potatoes, resulting in various shades of purple. Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH), commonly known as worms, are infectious diseases caused by intestinal nematode parasites transmitted through soil. This study aims to observe the effect of varying concentrations of anthocyanins extracted from purple sweet potato tubers in detecting STH eggs using the sedimentation method. This research uses laboratory experiments with categorical descriptive characteristics, varying the anthocyanin concentrations from purple sweet potatoes: 100%, 60%, 40%, 20%. The results showed that a 60% anthocyanin concentration can effectively serve as a substitute for 2% Eosin reagent in staining worm eggs. Thus, it can be concluded that a 60% concentration is optimal for staining worm eggs or as a natural dye alternative for worm egg staining.

Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study is to ascertain how innovatice behavior and creativity affect the productivity of millennial workers in Bandar Lampung's tourist and hospitality sector. In order to accomplish this, a quantitative technique was used in the research, and data was gathered via a Likert scale questionnaire. Because the exact number of population members is unclear, the study used a purposive sampling method to establish the sample size, which amounted to 150 respondents. Software called SPSS 26 was used to examine research data, instruments, and hypothesis testing. This study employed multiple linear regression analysis as its analysis approach. The study's findings demonstrate that innovative and creative behavior benefit millennial workers' performance in the tourism and hospitality sectors in Bandar Lampung. Workers show efficacy in putting ideas into practice, but they are not as proactive in seeking out novel chances. Despite a propensity to be cautious when attempting new ideas, employee innovation has proved to be crucial to organizational success. As a result, encouraging innovation is crucial for raising employee performance and fostering organizational expansion.

Authors: Cibelle Christine Brito Ferreira  , Rosanova Clauber , Magalhães Barbosa Juliano , De Oliveira Lima Saulo
Published: August 2024

O remineralizador é um resíduo oriundo da moagem de rocha que contém nutrientes para as plantas e compostos que atuam como melhoradores da fertilidade do solo. A aplicação de rocha moída é uma técnica utilizada na fertilização do solo, que pode ser uma alternativa complementar aos fertilizantes industrializados. Partindo dessa hipótese, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os teores nutricionais em amostras de Neossolo Quartzarênico, Plintossolo Pétrico e Plintossolo Háplico na condição de várzea, fertilizadas com remineralizador. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado (DIC), em esquema fatorial duplo (3x5), constituído por três tipos de solo (Neossolo Quartzarênico Órtico típico, Plintossolo Pétrico Concrecionário argissólico e Plintossolo Háplico Distrófico típico em condições de várzea), e cinco doses de rocha extraída e moída em Peixe - TO (0, 1, 2, 3 e 4 t ha-1 de remineralizador), com quatro repetições. As unidades experimentais foram submetidas a 60 dias de incubação, seguindo a metodologia de Machado, (2017). Foram avaliados os teores de Ca, P, K, Mg, H+Al, e Al e os valores pH, CTC, SB e CE no solo. Verificou-se associação positiva entre SB, Ca, Al, CE, Mg, CTC e pH para o solo de várzea, com melhores contribuições com a aplicação da dose de 3 toneladas por hectare de remineralizador. Resultados demonstram ainda, que, solos com maiores teores de K e P possuem menor teor de H+Al, e vice-versa. O Plintossolo Pétrico com a aplicação da dose de 1 tonelada de remineralizador por hectare obteve os maiores valores de K e P. Em contraste, menores valores desses nutrientes foram observados no Neossolo Quartzarênico, que se obteve maiores teores de H+Al. Os resultados obtidos confirmam a prática de rochagem como alternativa para a reposição de nutrientes de forma complementar, para manutenção da fertilidade de solos frágeis.

Authors: Salamba Yogistry Pakita
Published: August 2024

The research aims to analyze the enforcement of sanctions against perpetrators of vandalism at tourist attractions in North Toraja and the obstacles to implementing sanctions in law enforcement against perpetrators of vandalism at tourist attractions based on Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2016. The research employed an empirical research method, using statutory and conceptual approaches. This research used primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through field research using interviews and observations, while secondary data was obtained through a literature study. The data obtained was then analyzed qualitatively and described to answer the research problem.
The research results show that the sanction enforcement of Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2016 concerning the Implementation of Tourism in North Toraja has not complied with these regulations. In particular, cases of destruction of Ke'te' Kesu' carried out by perpetrators that are imposed with customary punishment, it is marked by the large number of unresolved cases and weak enforcement of sanctions. Obstacles in implementing sanctions in law enforcement are caused primarily by delays in information to the Civil Service Police Unit resulting in initial administrative action before being handed over to the Prosecutor's Office. Another obstacle is the absence of a memorandum of understanding between the Police, Prosecutor's Office, and Court, as well as budget limitations which affect the capacity of the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) to protect tourists. A comprehensive approach is needed, including law enforcer training, inter-agency coordination, public legal education, and review of Regional Regulations to improve the fairness and appropriateness of sanctions.

Published: August 2024

This research discusses the effectiveness of mediation in settling inheritance disputes outside of the court. The objectives of this study are, firstly, to determine the effectiveness of mediation in resolving inheritance disputes outside of court; secondly, to assess whether conducting mediation outside of court is a viable solution in settling inheritance disputes; thirdly, to identify the factors that contribute to the success of mediation in resolving inheritance disputes outside of court. The research method employed in this discussion is library research, supplemented with analytical descriptive data analysis. Based on the research findings, mediation has proven its effectiveness in settling inheritance disputes outside of court. By expediting the resolution process, reducing costs, and enhancing the satisfaction of the involved parties, mediation presents an attractive alternative worthy of consideration as a solution in settling inheritance disputes through non-litigious means. Another evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of mediation conducted outside of court is its greater impact in maintaining positive relationships, as the outcome is not a win-lose decision, but rather a win-win situation where both parties equally win and willingly accept the agreed-upon settlement, in line with the principles of win-win solutions.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The objective of this article is to examine and address the service delivery issues in South Africa and proposes the use of technology-based interventions to improve the situation. To address localised demands and globalised interventions to digitalising government processes and operation, e-government services should be advanced in South Africa as a component of information and communication technology (ICT). How these concepts of ICT, e-government and fourth industrial revolution (4IR) can be used to improve service delivery are investigated in the article. A qualitative research methodology was taken into consideration. It provides a desktop study of the data that was gathered through a review of literature and further makes use of conceptual analysis of the available data to draw findings. The study explores that South Africa is having difficulties providing efficient services to end users. At the municipal level, the situation is even worse due to a lack of funding, technical assistance, suitable infrastructure, capacity, and talent management, to name a few. Protests demanding the effective delivery of services are the result of these issues. The study provides suggestions for improving the situation. The study contributes by suggesting varied resources required by municipalities to implement effective services to community members in South Africa.

The author argues that the government's good intentions to modernize remote indigenous communities are part of an effort to advance and modernize them, not fully realized as expected. This writing uses qualitative methodology. We obtain research data sources from a combination of field research and library research institutions. We conduct field observations and in-depth interviews with selected Talang Mamak individuals. We utilize the research library to access articles from scientific journals, books, magazines, newspapers, and other relevant documents related to the research topic. This writing suggests that Talang Mamak's empowerment program for remote indigenous communities has received a positive religious reception. They generally welcomed the program, although they were critical and partly rejected. Some of them see education as a way to improve the situation, even though they realize that their resources are still scarce. They expect the government to do something to improve their economic conditions. The Mamak Talang people need the country to restore the economic, social, and cultural ecosystems that have suffered damage as a result of companies operating around their living environment.

A NOVEL RICHARDSON EXTRAPOLATION TECHNIQUE FOR NUMERICAL APPROXIMATION OF SINGULARLY PERTURBED CONVECTION-DIFFUSION PROBLEMS WITH INTEGRAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
Authors: Sheiso Desta Sodano
Published: August 2024

This study presents the novel Richardson extrapolation techniques for solving numerical approx- imation of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems (SPCDP) with integral boundary conditions (IBC). A numerical approach is presented using an upwind finite difference scheme a piecewise-uniform (Shishkin) and exponential (eXp) mesh. To handle the integral boundary con- ditions, the trapezoidal rule is applied. The parameter-uniform error bound for the numerical derivative is established which leading to a first-order convergence rate. The study establishes an error bound for numerical solutions and determines the numerical approximation as well as analyze a upwind finite difference scheme on a piecewise uniform mesh ( Shishkin mesh) and exponential (eXp) for singularly perturbed convection diffusion equations with integral boundary conditions. To enhance convergence and accuracy, we utilize Richardson extrapolation. This elevates accuracy from O N −1 ln N to O N −2 ln2 N using this technique, where N is the number of mesh intervals. Numerical results are presented to validate the theoretical findings, demonstrating the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed technique.
