Cum Tervannae Foditur – Ou quand on fouille à Therouanne, capitale des Morins
Authors: Merkenbreack Vincent
Published: November 2023

La notion d’héritage va de soi avec la pratique de l’archéologie, il fait partie intégrante de notre métier. Heres en latin signifie l’héritier, heredium, le patrimoine, l’héritage. D’ailleurs heritage signifie en anglais « patrimoine ». L’héritage, c’est ce qui est transmis par les ancêtres, c’est une notion polysémique, qui recouvre de multiples facettes, à l’instar des nombreuses couches archéologiques qui s’accumulent au fil des ans, des siècles, des millénaires comme ce que l’on peut observer à Thérouanne. Cet héritage est multiple, il peut être toponymique, stratigraphique ou géographique. Riche, complexe et passionnant pour certains, il peut se révéler lourd, encombrant et subi pour d’autres (aménageurs, élus, certains habitants), d’autant plus au sein d’un bourg. En Gaule Belgique, l’héritage antique est aussi très présent dans notre système viaire, nos axes de circulation. Mais les circulations, ce sont aussi les échanges économiques via la circulation des matériaux que l’on peut retrouver à Thérouanne, et en l’occurrence, le matériel lapidaire. Ces héritages et ces circulations influent fortement sur le développement du village aujourd’hui et nécessite impérativement une médiation, un transfert, un dialogue entre tous les intervenants concernés car au final, cet héritage est notre patrimoine commun, un bien collectif, inaliénable, que nous pouvons certes détruire ou ignorer, mais que nous ne pouvons pas refouler ou occulter et dont le fruit de nos recherches doit circuler et être transmis au plus grand nombre.

RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA SOBRE A IMPLANTAÇÃO DA POLÍTICA DE AQUISIÇÃO DE ALIMENTOS DA AGRICULTURA FAMILIAR NO RESTAURANTE UNIVERSITÁRIO DA UFRRJ
Authors: De Oliveira Olívia Chaves
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de relatar uma experiência prática sobre a aquisição de alimentos da agricultura familiar através da implantação do Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA), modalidade Compra Institucional, com dispensa de licitação, para o Restaurante Universitário (RU) da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (campus Seropédica). A metodologia utilizada para elaboração deste trabalho foi a pesquisa teórica e documental e o relato de experiência. O PAA faz parte de um conjunto de ações do Programa Fome Zero e foi instituído pela Lei nº 10.696 de 02/07/2003 e demais leis, decretos e resoluções que o regulamentam, tais como a Lei nº 12.512 de 14/10/2011, Decreto nº 7.775 de 4/07/2012, Resolução nº50 de 26/09/2012, Decreto nº 8.293 de 12/08/2014, Decreto nº 8.473 de 22/06/2015. É uma política pública que visa, dentre outros objetivos: “incentivar a agricultura familiar, promovendo a sua inclusão econômica e social, com fomento à produção com sustentabilidade, ao processamento de alimentos e industrialização e à geração de renda” (Artigo 19 da Lei nº 10.696/2003). O conceito de agricultura familiar surgiu nos anos 1980 correspondendo a um conjunto de relações complexas em que a propriedade e o trabalho estão intimamente ligados à família (Silva, Dias & Silva, 2014). A agricultura familiar tem sua importância na garantia da soberania e segurança alimentar, gerando a demanda por políticas governamentais de fomento direcionadas às famílias que vivem no e do campo. Em outubro de 2014, a Pró-reitoria de Assuntos Financeiros/UFRRJ nomeou a Comissão de Julgamento conforme disposto no artigo 17 da Lei nº 12.512/2011 e Resolução nº 50 (Grupo Gestor do PAA/MDA). O ponto de partida desta comissão foi um estudo teórico da legislação, pesquisa sobre a experiência de outras instituições e a demanda do RU em relação aos alimentos produzidos no município de Seropédica e região, para a elaboração de uma Minuta de Chamada Pública específica para atender a UFRRJ. A comissão também participou de reuniões de trabalho com a equipe e parceiros do projeto de extensão coordenado pela Profa. Anelise Dias (IA/UFRRJ), que trata do fortalecimento da agricultura familiar, que possibilitou a troca de experiências, atualizações sobre a legislação, e principalmente o estudo da temática em questão. Em junho de 2016, realizou-se a primeira Chamada Pública, e para aquisição de mandioca (aipim), 250 caixas de 20 kg, banana prata climatizada, 700 caixas de 20 kg/cada e abóbora madura, 9000 kg, com entrega a partir de setembro de 2016. A implantação dessa política se destaca como parte de um conjunto de ações de soberania alimentar e fortalecimento da economia local com a oferta de alimentos da agricultura familiar aos estudantes da UFRRJ que utilizam o RU diariamente, além de configurar novas possibilidades de pesquisa e extensão, ampliando a inserção social da Instituição na região em que está localizada.

Published: November 2023

O presente estudo trata da importância e desafios da perícia contábil nos processos judiciais. Seu objetivo é evidenciar os principais desafios enfrentados pelos peritos contadores durante o exercício de sua profissão, pois os laudos periciais são indispensáveis para a elucidação dos fatos e provas de uma ação judicial, contribuindo na tomada de decisões. Justifica-se o seu desenvolvimento a necessidade de expor que embora haja diversos desafios a serem enfrentados pelos peritos-contadores, a perícia contábil é essencial para a resolução de conflitos de maneira justa e equânime; portanto, o papel do contador é crucial para a execução da justiça. A perícia contábil desempenha um papel indispensável no sistema jurídico, pois fornece, mediante imparcialidade e tecnicidade do perito-contador, análises técnicas especializadas para auxiliar na resolução de litígios em cujas partes possuem divergências contábeis. Foi adotada a metodologia de revisão bibliográfica, na qual se fundamentou na busca por artigos cuja temática encontrou eco na proposta pela pesquisa.. Ao final, constatou-se que os peritos contadores sofrem com a falta de documentos necessários para elaboração do laudo, nomeações, concorrência, desunião da classe, insatisfação com o valor dos honorários periciais, prazo para a realização da perícia, documentos ambíguos, pouco conhecimento normativo, falta de expertise, dificuldade na elaboração de laudo pericial etc. Por fim, concluiu-se que o profissional enfrenta desafios desde a decisão de tornar-se um perito contábil até a execução da profissão em si, pois a grade curricular da graduação em ciências contábeis não capacita os estudantes interessados na área e a atuação do perito contábil requer a observância de diversas obrigações e formalidades determinadas por lei.

Sendo assim, as oficinas educativas cumprem um papel fundamental dentro do CAPS e se torna uma ferramenta valiosa de cuidado e reinserção social.
Utilizing Design Thinking to Enhance Wellbeing in Interdisciplinary Courses: A Positive Social Psychology Approach
Authors: ElSayary Areej
Published: November 2023

Design thinking is considered to be a positive social psychology intervention. Students who practice using the design thinking process during their coursework will most likely solve personal problems that improve their well-being. This study investigates the impact of using the design thinking process in interdisciplinary courses to enhance students' well-being through developing mindsets that enable them to solve their problems and set personal goals unconsciously. A modified PERMA-PH model is used to guide this study. The PERMA included Positive Emotions, Negative Emotions, Engagement, Relationship, Meaning and Purpose, and Accomplishments, the "PH" (future plans and health) was added to the PE to ensure continuity of students' capability in improving their well-being. The participants (n=38) were undergraduate female students (preservice teachers) at a Federal University in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A sequential mixed-method approach using quantitative and qualitative data was used. An online survey with closed-ended items was adopted to collect data from participants. The qualitative data were collected using semi-structured interviews with six students. The study's results reveal that students improved their well-being when engaged in the design thinking process during their reflection in the interdisciplinary courses, and expectations of continuing to improve their well-being occurred.

Authors: Avgerinos Evgenios , Manikaros Nikolaos , Vlachou Roza
Published: November 2023

This paper presents an evaluation of user satisfaction with the MOODLE platform using the Genetic Algorithm Multicriteria Satisfaction Analysis (GA-MUSA) method, and compares the results to the conventional MUSA method. A questionnaire was developed and administered to 100 participants (students and professors), and the data was analyzed using both methods. The results showed that the GA-MUSA method produced a higher overall satisfaction level compared to the Conventional MUSA method. The study also conducted a correlation analysis to determine the relationship between demographic variables and satisfaction levels. The findings suggest that MOODLE experience is the most important demographic variable related to satisfaction levels. The present study contributes to the existing literature by providing valuable insights into the use of GA-MUSA method to evaluate user satisfaction with educative software.

As etapas do processo de indexação exigem do profissional conhecimento técnico, específico e especializados sobre a própria prática, além do universo científico ou cultural inerente ao material a ser classificado e indexado. Aspectos terminológicos são insumos fundamentais para a elaboração de linguagem documental; a análise da linguagem torna-se uma abordagem necessária, visto que o estudo da linguagem através da linguística e da filosofia da linguagem tem apresentado bastante evolução nos últimos anos. O objetivo desta pesquisa é discutir processo de indexação e analisar fundamentos da linguística e da filosofia da linguagem que possam contribuir para a compreensão epistemológica das camadas de saberes que envolvem todo o percurso de indexação. Aplicou-se uma metodologia de natureza qualitativa, de tipo exploratória e bibliográfica. A tradição inerente à indexação viabilizou entre tantos modelos os pronomes interrogativos, os aspectos nocionais, facetas, todavia os aspectos modais conduzem o formato da indexação, já a estratégia por traz da formatação dos modais no tratamento da informação é o modelo que impacta na conduta do usuário ao realizar suas buscas.
Análisis reticular de las relaciones de colaboración de las empresas de desechos tecnológicos de Panamá

Published: November 2023

Este artículo describe los resultados de una investigación exploratoria llevada a cabo para identificar las relaciones que las empresas que se dedican a la recolección y/o reciclado de residuos de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos (RAEE) en la República de Panamá mantienen con diferentes entidades del país y extranjeras. A partir de las respuestas dadas a un cuestionario se han aplicado dos enfoques distintos: el análisis de redes sociales (ARS) y el análisis reticular de coincidencias (ARC). Las pocas relaciones obtenidas aplicando el ARS nos muestran que la transferencia de conocimiento, información y recursos entre entidades, que sería deseable, es, lamentablemente, muy escasa. Con el ARC hemos analizado cuáles son las características de las relaciones que han mantenido las empresas de desechos tecnológicos, su relación con el tipo de entidad con la colaboran, la pertenencia a grupos de empresas nacionales o extranjeros y cómo se gestiona esa colaboración. Se ha evidenciado que existe una escasa concienciación sobre la recolección y reciclado de los desechos tecnológicos y que es necesaria la implicación gubernamental en el desarrollo de leyes y normativas sobre los RAEE, que regulen los procesos técnicos y las vinculaciones entre todos los actores que intervienen en el proceso, así como medidas que faciliten la colaboración entre las empresas, tanto en los aspectos administrativos y regulativos como mediante incentivos adecuados para su impulso.

Privileging Heteronormativity in Alberta’s Comprehensive Health and Sanctioned Religious Curriculum: A Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors: Surette Tanya
Published: November 2023

Although recently the Alberta Government has made many efforts and initiatives to promote support for gender and sexual minority students in schools, ongoing disparities exist between the aspirations for safe and inclusive school environments and the hostile reality of life in schools for this population. This article summarizes the results of a critical analysis of provincial core health literacy curricula along with school-sanctioned religious curricula. The article then highlights probable reasons for the ongoing lack of education and support for gender and sexual diversity in schools and suggests possible contributors to the oppressive environment for these students in rural Southern Alberta. Alors que le gouvernement albertain a récemment déployé beaucoup d’efforts et créé plusieurs initiatives pour appuyer les élèves ayant une orientation ou une identité sexuelle minoritaires dans les écoles, des disparités perdurent entre les aspirations visant des milieux scolaires sécuritaires et inclusifs et la réalité hostile que vit cette population dans les écoles. Cet article résume les résultats d’une analyse critique des programmes d’enseignement sur la santé et des programmes d’études religieuses approuvés par les écoles. Par la suite, l’article souligne les raisons qui pourraient expliquer le manque constant d’éducation et d’appui pour la diversité sexuelle et de genre dans les écoles, et propose des facteurs pouvant contribuer à l’environnement oppressant qui existe pour ces élèves dans le sud de l’Alberta. Mots clés : éducation sexuelle; diversité sexuelle et de genre; religion; éducation à la justice sociale
Preparing Pre-service Teachers to Support Children With Refugee Experiences
Authors: Kovinthan Levi Thursica
Published: November 2023

Within the Canadian context, there is limited understanding of the attitudes and perspectives of pre-service teachers’ preparedness to support students with refugee experiences. Using a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach to pedagogy, this study documents the perspectives of 33 pre-service teachers on their preparation to teach students with refugee experiences in one teacher education program in Canada. Results demonstrate that although pre-service teachers recognize the needs of refugee students, they noted that they have few opportunities in their courses or practicums that address how to meet these needs. They identified training in trauma-informed practices, parent communication, and recognizing and understanding students with refugee experiences as gaps in their preparation. Key Words: trauma-informed; pre-service teacher education; teacher education programs; refugee children Dans le contexte canadien, nous connaissons peu sur les attitudes et les perspectives qu’ont les étudiants se destinant à l’enseignement relatives à leur état de préparation pour appuyer les élèves réfugiés. Reposant sur une approche qui tient compte des traumatismes et des réalités culturelles, cette étude fait état des perspectives de 33 étudiants dans un programme de formation des enseignants au Canada quant à leur état de préparation à enseigner à des élèves réfugiés. Les résultats indiquent que si les étudiants se destinant à l’enseignement reconnaissent les besoins des élèves réfugiés, ils constatent que leurs cours et leurs stages leur offrent peu d’occasions d’apprendre comment répondre à ces besoins. Comme lacunes dans leur préparation, les étudiants ont identifié la formation en pratiques tenant compte des traumatismes, la communication avec les parents, ainsi que la reconnaissance et la compréhension de la réalité des réfugiés. Mots clés : qui tient compte des traumatismes; formation des enseignants; programmes de formation des enseignants; enfants réfugiés
A Policy Discourse Analysis of Academic Probation
Authors: Barouch-Gilbert Abraham
Published: November 2023

In this policy discourse analysis study, I explored the discourse of academic-probation policies for undergraduate students in Dominican higher education institutions. Policies from twelve universities described strategies of power throughout. Academic-probation policies were characterized by their brevity and focus on disciplinary actions for students who did not meet the established academic standards. Key implications are related to issues of student marginalization in higher education institutions. Future policy revisions should address the punitive measures and the implications of being classified below “normal” and should refocus on institutional retention as a policy. Keywords: Academic Probation, Higher Education, Policy Dans cette étude portant sur l’analyse du discours en matière de politiques, je me penche sur le discours des politiques portant sur la probation académique des étudiants du premier cycle dans certains établissements d’études supérieures en République dominicaine. On retrouve, tout au long du texte des politiques des douze universités étudiées, des descriptions de stratégies de pouvoir. Les politiques portant sur la probation académique se caractérisaient par leur brièveté et leur accent sur les actions disciplinaires visant les étudiants qui n’atteignaient pas les normes académiques établies. Les implications principales touchent la marginalisation des étudiants inscrits dans des établissements d’études supérieures. À l’avenir, les révisions des politiques devraient aborder les mesures punitives et les implications d’être classés sous la norme pour se recentrer sur la rétention institutionnelle.

A study on the position of a Lien holder in real estate auction procedures: Supreme Court Decision 2013Da84971, Decided on Jan., 29 2015
Authors:   Korean Association of Aggregate Building Law, Kim Sung-Wook
Published: November 2023

The title of this thesis is “A study on the position of a Lien holder in real estate auction procedures - Supreme Court Decision 2013Da84971, Decided on Jan., 29 2015 -”. It is not possible to accurately predict what problems will occur in the future at this point. However, if it is a system that regulates social order, a way to minimize the risk should be sought to prevent unreasonable consequences. In particular, since the lien system is a newly created system, if the existing problems are closely identified, it is expected that the lien system can be more reasonable and practical in the future. In this paper, the main contents related to the position of a Lien holder in real estate auction procedures and the improvement direction thereof were reviewed. I believe that If the lien extends the transition period after the registration of the start of the auction, it will not be possible to compete against the buyer in the auction process.
A Study on Developing Regional Relative House Price Index
Authors:   Korean Association of Aggregate Building Law, Maeng Cheol-Kyu
Published: November 2023

Recently, in Korea, the polarization of real estate prices by region has deepened, causing social and economic problems. In particular, the government's expansion of taxation on owners of multiple homes to stabilize housing prices led to the exacerbation of the real estate price polarization between the metropolitan areas and local regions. As a methodology for monitoring this phenomenon of real estate price polarization by region, this study is based on 3 house transaction types for 4 house types targeting 17 cities and provinces and affiliated administrative districts, tentatively named 'Regional Relative House Price Index’. The purpose is to calculate the 'RRHPI' for observing trends in relative real estate prices by region at the national level, suggesting brand-new directions for conducting research related to the regional polarization phenomenon.

This research paper explores the intricate relationship between cultural and societal factors and their profound influence on brand renaissance. In an era of rapid globalization and technological advancement, brands are no longer static symbols but dynamic entities that must adapt and rejuvenate to remain relevant in the modern marketplace. The central research question addresses how cultural and societal factors shape brand renaissance and the strategies brands employ to navigate this complex terrain. Through a comprehensive analysis of secondary data sources, the research reveals that cultural factors, encompassing values, norms, beliefs, and traditions, significantly influence brand identity and perception. Brands that successfully align with cultural values and adapt to cultural shifts are more likely to experience revitalization, while those that ignore these influences face challenges in connecting with their target audience. Societal factors, including demographic changes, economic conditions, and technological innovations, were found to be dynamic catalysts that either facilitated or hindered brand renaissance. Brands that demonstrated adaptability and relevance in response to societal shifts tended to be better positioned for renewal. Case studies, including renowned brands like Apple and Coca-Cola, highlight the practical strategies employed by brands to align with cultural values and societal trends, providing valuable insights for businesses seeking brand renewal.

It offers a thorough examination of the social and economic changes that Russia and China underwent throughout this period, focusing in particular on the differences in their reform strategies. A comparative analysis is also conducted on the emergence of the middle class, the importance of small firms, and the impact of trade links between these countries. In the end, this research clarifies the complex interplay between trade ties, economic reforms, and the growth of the middle class in China and Russia during this pivotal time, with implications for more general policy issues.
Effect of Net Profit Margin on Current Ratio in PT. Siantar Top, PT. Kimia Farma and PT. Gudang Garam Companies Period 2020-2022
Authors: Pardede Paskah , Munthe Herlin
Published: November 2023

Net Profit Margin and Current Ratio are two financial ratios used to analyze the financial health of a company. Net Profit Margin is one of the important indicators to assess the financial performance of a company as it provides an insight into how effectively the company generates profits from its operations after considering all costs and expenses. It measures the company’s efficiency in generating profit from each unit of revenue. Companies with a high Net Profit Margin are often considered more attractive to investor because the high net profit indicates the company’s ability to generate strong cash flow and provide good returns to shareholders. Current Ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company’s ability to meet its shortterm obligations with liquid assets that can be quickly converted into cash. A high Current Ratio indicates that the company has sufficient current assets to meet its shortterm liabilities. This can provide assurance to investors that the company will not face financial difficulties in paying its obligations when they become due. This research aims to determine the influence of Net Profit Margin on Current Ratio in PT.Siantar Top, PT.Kimia Farma and PT. Gudang Garamwhich were studied on a quarterly basis during the period 2020-2022. This is a quantitative research using secondary data, which are the financial statements of each company accessed through the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS softwareversion 25. The result of the research show that simultaneously or collectively, Net Profit Margin has an influence on Current Ratio and partially, it is found that Net Profit Margin has a significant positive effect on Current Ratio. The coefficient of determination indicates a result of 0,304, which means that rthe influence of Net Profit Margin on Current Ratio is 30,4% while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors that were not examined in this study.

Determinants of Adapted Behaviors on Employee and Entrepreneurs Against the Covid-19 Pandemic: Theory of Planned Behavior
Authors: Wardana M. Azka Kesuma , Cahyadi Eko Ruddy , Slamet Alim Setiawan
Published: November 2023

New Normal is a change in behavior to continue carrying out normal activities but coupled with the implementation of health protocols to prevent Covid-19 transmission. In Indonesia itself, the new normal is applied as a realistic response from the Indonesian government to the existence of COVID-19 as well as the results of the analysis in various sectors of national life, especially the future of the national economy in the medium and long term. After the implementation of the new normal, it automatically affects the routine activities carried out by the community, especially those activities that were restricted by the government at the time of the New Normal. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence behavior change after the application of the New Normal in the Covid-19 Pandemic. A modified Theory of Planned Behavior is used in this study using testing through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS). A total of 427 respondents who have worked have answered the online questionnaire containing 61 questions. The results of this study indicate that knowledge and understanding of covid-19 make people understand the severity they feel and the vulnerabilities they may experience. The severity and vulnerability they feel also have an influence on their attitudes, behavior control, past behavior, and subjective norms so that they have a strong factor in building their intention to behave during the pandemic when the new normal is enacted. The intention that has been built with the support of attitudinal factors, past behavior, subjective norms, and behavior control also changes people's behavior. Employees are able to more moderate the relationship between attitudes towards intention and the relationship between past behavior and intention than entrepreneurs.
Implementation Of the People's Market Application to Improve the Performance of MSMES In Kendal Regency: Integration of Theory Acceptance Model (TAM) And Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)
Authors: Patmasari Eka Kurnia , Arija Haifa Hannum
Published: November 2023

The emergence of Covid 19 has devastated the performance of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) including in Kendal Regency. Through the People's Market application, it is hoped that it can encourage the performance of MSMEs after the pandemic. However, the problem that occurs is that users of the People's Market application in MSME players are still low which can hinder growth and competitiveness in the digitalization era. This study aims to analyze the behavior of MSME players in adopting the People's Market application in Kendal Regency through the integration of the Theory Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). This research is a causality study using seven main variables tested from the TAM and TPB models, namely: perceived benefits; perceived ease of use; attitude in adopting the People's Market application; subjective norms; perceived behavioral control; behavioral intention in adopting the People's Market application; and actual behavior. The sample of this study used a purposive sampling method with a total sample that met the criteria of 231 respondents. The data was obtained from distributing questionnaires via google form. The data were statistically tested through the AMOS program. The results showed that perceived benefits and perceived ease of use affect attitudes. Attitude affects the behavioral intention of traders in adopting the People's Market application. However, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control have no significant effect on behavioral intentions. The results also prove that behavioral intentions can encourage merchants to carry out actual behavior in adopting the People's Market application.
Roles of Price on Rebates and Implication to Customer Product Choice
Authors: Komara Anton Tirta
Published: November 2023

A comprehensive comprehension of the various factors influencing consumer purchasing decisions is crucial for success in the highly competitive business environment. The findings of this study examine the significant role that price and discounts (rebates) play in consumer decision-making. The study's findings emphasize the considerable influence of price on consumers' decision-making regarding product selection. Consumers tend to seek out more affordable alternative options when there is an increase in the price of a product. Nevertheless, in the event of a compelling discount, consumers tend to transition and opt for the alternative product swiftly.
Furthermore, this study demonstrates that individuals' financial capabilities impact their decision-making process when it comes to selecting products. Consumers exhibiting elevated financial capacities are inclined to prioritize personal preferences when making product selections rather than solely focusing on price considerations. This observation indicates that individuals with greater purchasing power are afforded a more comprehensive range of options when selecting products.
However, it is imperative to exercise caution as price similarity assumes a significant role in consumers' decision-making process. Consumers tend to favor products that align with the price they have paid. Nevertheless, the analysis findings suggest the necessity for additional research to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this correlation.
In addition, the discounts provided by companies also impact consumers' perceptions of prices and their financial capacities. Discounts can significantly impact consumers' perceptions of product prices, enabling them to select items previously perceived as unaffordable.
This study offers significant insights into the impact of price, discounts, and financial capabilities on consumer purchasing preferences. The findings of this study establish a robust basis for corporations to develop enhanced marketing strategies, considering the significant influence these variables exert on consumer decision-making processes. Enhanced comprehension of consumer behavior enables companies to attain heightened levels of success within a fiercely competitive market

The spatial structure of a community and the ecological mechanisms that control it are central themes in community ecology. This study aimed to investigate the ecological mechanisms driving the coexistence of tree species in the evergreen broadleaved forests in Con Dao National Park, Vietnam. We employed two null models: complete spatial randomness and inhomogeneous Poisson process within the framework of the individual species-area relationship model. The analyses focused on the effects of habitat filtering and species interactions. We discovered habitat heterogeneity in a 4-ha study plot that contained 5,653 tree individuals belonging to sixty-four plant families. The results demonstrated the critical role of habitat filtering and species interactions in maintaining species diversity within the plant community. The study also indicated that the local diversity structure of tree species depended on the spatial scale. This study went beyond niche and neutral theories by emphasizing the significance of ecological field theory and the principle of asymmetric competition in explaining the coexistence of tree species in evergreen broadleaved forests. Our findings may provide valuable insights into biodiversity conservation and the management of evergreen broadleaved forests, helping to improve further plant diversity conservation activities in the study area.

Acacia hybrid is one of the favorably fast-growing species which is bring to potential benefits of agro-ecological and socio-economic sectors in Vietnam. The main objective of this study was to develop well-fitted models for estimating biomass expansion factor (BEF) for Acacia hybrid plantations. Fifty-four samples of Acacia hybrid trees from 2 to 10 years of age were collected from Acacia hybrid plantations in the Southern part of Vietnam. Total dry biomass including stems, branches and leaves were used to estimate an average value of BEF. The BEF value was calculated by taking the dry aboveground biomass (W) divided by the volume of merchantable tree woods over their barks (Vm). Twelve allometric equations were fitted by constructing regression models between BEF and inventory variables including diameter at breast height (DBH), height (H) and age (A). Consequently, the average value of BEF was 1.11 ton/m3. The BEF value had a strongly negative relationship with DBH, height and age in which the BEF value decreased as these three parameters increased. Two best fitted models for estimating a BEF value of Acacia hybrid (A. auriculiformis * A. mangium) plantations included: BEF = 1.99865 - 0.15400*DBH - 0.02123*H + 0.18210*A; and BEF = 3.01307 - 2.44459*ln(DBH) - 0.10171*DBH -2.06212*ln(H) + 1.54556*ln(DBH*H*A). Estimated values of above-ground biomass by utilizing the fitted BEF values from two these models were similar. Results of the study indicated that use of a fitted BEF model is fundamental to obtain reliable estimates of biomass and CO2 equivalent for Acacia hybrid plantations.

Published: November 2023

Geothermal renewable energy can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. However, difficulties have been encountered during its development. It is characterized by high-risk investment and irreversibility, whereas traditional investment analysis techniques have limited applications. As a tool for evaluating energy investments, the real options theory allows flexibility to be incorporated into project design in the face of an uncertain environment and has demonstrated the ability to add economic value to investments. Based on simulations of a geothermal project implemented in Brazil in a real-options framework specifically adapted for the analysis of geothermal investments, this study demonstrates that the tool is efficient in adding economic value to the analysis. In addition, it provides a comprehensive view of the project, identifying the managerial flexibilities and uncertainties that influence profits the most. This model is expected to encourage researchers and investors to evaluate geothermal energy projects in Brazil.
