Authors: Yusuf Sholesi Olayinka
Published: December 2022

The urge for employees to have a voice in the decision-making process at the workplace has made joint consultation imperative. This study examined joint consultation as a determinant of job satisfaction in the insurance sector. The study adopted the survey research method using Krejie and Morgan's sample size determination formula to select a sample size of eighty-six (86) from a population of one hundred and ten employees. Seventy-three copies of the questionnaire were duly completed, and thirteen were not usable. Two hypotheses were tested using the partial least square structural equation model, SMARTPLS 3.2.2. SPSS version 25. The result revealed that joint consultation has an effect on employee job satisfaction. The P values for the two hypotheses tested are less than 0.05 level of significance. Therefore, for the two hypotheses, the alternative hypotheses were accepted. The study recommended, among others, that organizations should see joint consultation as a means of enhancing job satisfaction. In addition, further studies should be conducted on joint consultation using other indicators of job satisfaction.

ELIMINING THE GHOSOB TRADITION OF STUDENT AL MUBAROK ISLAMIC BOARDIBG SCHOOL MEDONO PEKALONGAN CITY
Authors: Ma'arif Afif Maulana Amiril
Published: December 2022

Ghosob is using someone's property without the owner's permission. The difference between ghosob and stealing is that ghosob is done openly, while stealing is done secretly and usually uses violence. Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia are all rife with ghosob. The administrators at each Islamic boarding school have not been able to handle it properly. The purpose of this research is to overcome the behavior of the students who often engage in ghosob behavior. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct research on what factors cause the santri to carry out this ghosob act. The research was conducted at one of the Islamic boarding schools in Pekalongan City, West Pekalongan District, namely the Al Mubarok Islamic Boarding School Medono village. By taking a sample of 13 students who often commit ghosob acts at the Islamic boarding school. This study used a qualitative method and data collection was carried out by means of in-depth interviews with the perpetrators of ghosob. The results of the study show that the ghosob tradition that occurred at the Al Mubarok Islamic boarding school was caused by several factors. The first is individual factors, including the weak awareness of Al Mubarok Islamic boarding school students so they don't commit ghosob. The second is environmental factors, namely the absence of a role model that is used as a reference so as not to commit ghosob acts.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of this paper was to contextualize the impact of the human factor owing to the increased involvement of third-party vendors by banks and other financial services providers and the rising threat level of supply chain attacks. On this, this paper presents a literature review of the risks posed by third party vendors within the present-day cyber environment including an evaluation of two core supply chain attacks, namely, Carbanak attack and the Equifax data breach. From these, it is established that with the increased prevalence and utilization of third-party vendors in banking and financial service provision, there is a need to integrate third-party risk management by addressing the key risks that emanate from the contracting organizations’ activities and relationships with the third-party vendors, and those posed by practices adopted by third-party vendors. To this, it has been established that while they are both independent organizations, there is a need to adopt an integrated framework that brings together strategy, processes, technology, and people dimensions associated with the human factor risk in the cyber environment.

This journal reviews the Analysis of Online Shopping on the Lifestyle of Kos Students in the Wangandowo-Pekalongan Region. This study aims to understand and determine the impact of online shopping. The result is knowing the negative and positive impacts of online shopping The positive impacts obtained include practicality, a relatively easy system, and a variety of product choices, which can provide insight into trying to make sales online and keep up with the times. Then the negative impact is lazy, and wasteful, disrupting saving routines or financial arrangements, and relying too much on everything that is all online. But not only that, it turns out that this is very influential on the style of clothing, especially for students who wear hijah. There are so many hijab styles that are very interesting for women to follow Thus, the existence of an easy and practical online shopping system leads to continuous purchasing activities without considering the long-term economy.
Educación e Interculturalidad desde el Sur

Published: December 2022

La educación, entendida como una herramienta emancipadora para la transformación y el cambio social, apoya la construcción de un estado multiétnico e intercultural para el buen vivir. Concebida de esta manera, presenta desafíos en muchas áreas, desde desmantelar las estructuras mentales que son el resultado de la educación occidental, que favoreció una educación disciplinada y fragmentada, hasta diseñar instituciones que integren sistemas de información acordes con la complejidad de la realidad. En este contexto, la educación intercultural ofrece la oportunidad de cambiar el sistema educativo asumiendo una postura crítica frente a las lógicas hegemónicas, los prejuicios y la discriminación hacia la multiculturalidad. El eje de reflexión de este libro es el proceso de diálogo intercultural, que fortalece la identidad, promueve la recuperación de la memoria histórica y la desjerarquización en el nuevo entorno de aprendizaje. Los desafíos en la formación docente se centran en temas de construcción de nación intercultural, especialmente en el sector educativo. Para ello, se analiza cómo se entiende la interculturalidad en las instituciones del sector educativo y cómo estos conceptos se traducen en políticas nacionales. Están muy involucrados en los procesos de formación docente, porque los docentes son responsables todos los días de reproducir los esfuerzos de cambio social y hacer prácticas transculturales, una matriz de visión monocultural y universal que impidió el entendimiento entre muchos: “Perú y Chile... que no son aptos para países culturales... una cultura que se hundió tan pronto como el espíritu se acercó a él. Estados Unidos siempre se ha mostrado y sigue mostrándose débil física y mentalmente. Desde la llegada de los europeos, los nativos han muerto bajo el soplo del activismo europeo”En los propios animales se observa la misma inferioridad que en los humanos (Hegel, citado en Viaña 2010, 21). Posteriormente, Taylor (1871), basándose en la misma tradición filosófica, construye una de las definiciones más comunes: "Cultura o civilización en su amplio sentido etnográfico es un conjunto de conocimientos, creencias, artes, usos, leyes, costumbres y otros habilidades y hábitos"(Taylor, citado Viaña 2010, 26). Las ideas raciales prevalecían en Europa y Estados Unidos. En el contexto de estos entendimientos, la antropología mostró una completa autonomía entre lo físico y lo cultural.
Emotion regulation choice and Psychosis proneness: a replication and extension study.
Authors: Nardelli Carla , Rolland-Carlichi Emma , Bortolon Catherine
Published: December 2022

Evidence shows that participants choose to disengage during emotion regulation (ER) when facing high intensity stimuli, whereas engage when the intensity is low. No study explored ER choice when participants have more than two strategies to regulate their emotions, nor the role of psychopathology on ER choice. This study aimed to replicate and extend the results of Sheppes et al. (2011) and to explore the role of psychosis-proneness in ER strategies choice. In total, 128 non-clinical participants completed two experimental tasks (a replication task and an extension task), choosing an ER strategy in two conditions. Participants favoured disengagement strategies when the emotional intensity was high and engagement strategies when the intensity was low. Psychosis-proneness seems to be associated with difficulties in adapting to the emotional context. These results expand our understanding on ER choices and provide knowledge on flexibility in ER as well as its implication in psychosis-proneness.

Who's leading whom? Mutual influences in moral decision making between leaders and subordinates over time
Authors: Karg Simon Tobias , Elbaek Christian T. , Mitkidis Panagiotis
Published: December 2022

Leaders are frequently said to shape ethical conduct of subordinates in organizations in a top- down manner. Yet, subordinates may also exert important influence on leaders. Building on research on collaborative corruption and ethical leadership, we present two preregistered studies (N = 874) that examine the social dynamics affecting ethical decision-making in leader–subordinate dyads. Using a novel collaborative-cheating task, we study how the mutual influence of leaders on subordinates and of subordinates on leaders unfolds over repeated interactions. We find strong mutualistic influences on ethical behavior in leader– subordinate dyads, and the degree and direction of these influences is moderated by the ethical make-up of these dyads, i.e., the willingness of individual leaders and subordinates to engage in dishonest conduct in the first place. Additionally, we find congruency effects for character judgments such that dyads that cheat together evaluate each other positively and especially competent and close.
Self-concept forecasting: How do we predict the incorporation of affective life events into self-concept?
Authors: Ham Joy , Ulichney Virginia , Helion Chelsea
Published: December 2022

The present research examines how individuals predict the influence that future life events will have on their self-concept, or what we term self-concept forecasting, across 5 studies (N = 935). Individuals are motivated to maintain self-concept clarity and continuity, but these motivations may lead to systematic underestimation of self-concept change. In Study 1, we found that individuals predicted that life events would be more central to their self-concept than an average other. In Study 2, participants predicted that the average person would be more vulnerable to self-concept change than the self. We also found that having previously experienced the life event reduced self-other differences. In Study 3, we found the reverse for individuated others, such that experience with the life event increased differences in prediction. In Studies 4 and 5, we examine why experience appears to provide information that predicts similarity relative to an average other and difference relative to an individuated other. We found that manipulating the salience of changeability reduced self-other asymmetries in self-concept forecasting, but considering the passage of time did not. Taken together, this suggests that there are motivated biases underlying self-concept forecasts that are applied differently for the self, average others, and individuated others, and that these biases may be reduced through recall of past experiences or previous disruptions to self-concept.

Authors: Putri Reya Armelia , Rokhmawati Andewi , Fitri Fitri
Published: December 2022

This study aims to examine the effect of firm size and leverage on the company's financial performance, with good corporate governance as a moderating variable. The population in this study are service companies in the infrastructure, utilities, and transportation sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2018–2020 period, totaling 55 companies. The research method used in the study aims to test the effect of variables through hypothesis testing using quantitative data. This study uses secondary data obtained from the website www.idx.co.id and the company's annual report. The sample selection used a purposive sampling method with 165 data points from 55 companies in each period. This study uses structural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS) to analyze the data. The results show that firm size positively and significantly affects the company's financial performance. The leverage variable has a negative and insignificant effect on the company's financial performance. Good corporate governance, as a moderating variable, negatively strengthens the relationship between firm size and the company's financial performance. Furthermore, as a moderating variable, the good corporate governance variable does not influence the moderating leverage relationship on the company's financial performance. LN total assets measure firm size; leverage is measured by the debt-to-equity ratio (DER); return measures financial performance on assets (ROA); and good corporate governance is measured using independent commissioners.

Published: December 2022

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) popularly known as poor man's apple is one of the common fruit crops cultivated in terai, inner terai and hilly areas of Nepal. There are numerous genotypes available within the country but absence of their proper characterization is impeding guava improvement program The present study was carried out with six guava genotypes (Apple guava, Bangalore, pear shaped, KG-1, Illam Selection and Bari) to investigate morphological characters viz leaf qualitative and fruit qualitative and quantitative characters. The single factor experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design with four replications at National Horticulture Research Centre farm, Khumaltar in the year 2019 and 2020 Four plants of each genotypes were studied which were planted in the year 2015. Four mature leaves and fruits were randomly collected for qualitative characterization and all marketable fruits were collected for the study under mid hill conditions. Among them Apple Guava and KG-1 were found promising due to its attractive fruit shape and size as well as preferable taste and aroma. While observing the fruit qualitative characters maximum fruit length was found in Pear Shaped (71.1 mm) and the minimum was found in Bari (50.2 mm). Similarly, the highest individual fruit weight was observed in Apple Guava (229.5 gm) and the lowest fruit weight was in Illam Selection (59.4 gm). Analysis of variance for different characters showed a high degree of variation among the genotypes. The variability in morphological characters generated valuable information which could be used for a choice of parents for guava breeding programs in the future.

An experiment was conducted at National Horticulture Research Centre (NHRC), Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal from March to July of 2019 and 2020 to identify suitable bean genotypes for spring season planting. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications having seven genotypes as treatments viz. Semi Light Long, Long Green Bean, Trishuli, Four Season, LB-37, Pahelo Gheusimi, and Khairo Gheusimi. Observations were recorded on morphological characters, yield, and yield contributing attributes. All genotypes under study showed significant differences among each other. Pahelo Gheusimi was found to be early maturing (81 days after sowing) whereas genotype Four Season had the longest harvesting duration (29 days). Similarly, pod length (20.52 cm) and pod weight (16.60 g) was recorded highest in Long Green Bean, while the highest pod diameter was recorded in Pahelo Gheusimi (12.59 mm). A significantly highest number of pods (92/plant) was observed in Four Season whereas the highest fresh pod yield (1030.3 g/plant) per plant was observed in Long Green Bean which was at par with Four Season (997.1 g/plant). The calculated yield per hectare was 2.5 times higher in Long Green Bean (28.66 t/ha) as compared to the national average in 2020. Both rust incidence and Yellow Bean Mosaic Virus susceptibility were found less in Long Green Bean and Four Season. Based on the two-year observations, Long Green Bean and Four Season were found to be promising for spring season planting.

Challenges of Policy Making in Phedikhola Rural Municipality
Authors: Baral Bhim Nath
Published: December 2022

Policy making has a significant meaning for each level of government. Nepal formally adopted a federal democratic system and the role of local governments has been increased drastically since then. As a doorstep government of the people, local bodies completed their first five years of tenure under the federal system. Concerned with this study, Phedikhola Rural Municipality, one of the rural municipalities in Gandaki Province of Nepal, enacted several policies in the form of acts, rules, procedures, bylaws, directives and decisions. A few of the policies were also reviewed. The policies concerned with agriculture, education, health, infrastructure development, youth enterprising, good governance and the use of barren land got an overwhelming popularity. However, local governments have faced several problems in formulating such policies. The problem of localization of policies, the dominating role of bureaucracy, lack of skilled human resources, problem in identifying local needs and a host of other elements stood as a heavy barrier in the policy-making sector. The policy-making institution has not yet found to be effective to deliver its assigned task. In this context, this article aims to explore the challenges of policy-making faced by the local governments of Nepal. It attempts to assess the challenges from the viewpoint of stakeholders contributing to enhance institutional capacity in formulation and implementation of policies in the future. This article is qualitative, using descriptive, exploratory and analytical design. Both primary and secondary sources were used for data collection. Key Informants Interview (KII), Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and field observation were intensively used.
Legal Framework for Securities Market Dispute Resolution in Nepal
Authors: Kharel Amrit
Published: December 2022

Dispute settlement provisions are crucial segments of the securities law for each and every jurisdiction as recognized within core objectives of the securities regulation even by International Organization of the Securities Commissions. This article deals mainly with the questions on how far the dispute settlement provisions in Nepali securities law are adequate to redress and compensate the investors for actual losses resulting from market malpractices. Employing doctrinal legal research followed by in-depth key informant interview with the regulatory representatives, experts and market participants to conduct the study, it is based on descriptive, analytical and interpretative in research design. Drawing upon the analysis of the existing grievances handling mechanism and securities dispute settlement practices, the author concludes that law on securities dispute settlement regime is quite scattered and it seems urgent to have a consolidated approach to bring them at one place within a separate regulation. The study recommends the concerned authorities to restructure the securities dispute settlement regime by means of amendment of the existing securities law to provide a Securities Dispute Settlement Committee under the aegis of the regulator Securities Board of Nepal, which could function as a first-tier quasi-judicial body to look and decide over all kinds of securities disputes. Likewise, the concerned authorities are recommended to pass a separate legislation to establish and form an independent Securities Market Dispute Settlement Tribunal having its jurisdiction to hear an appeal against the decision of the proposed Dispute Settlement Committee under the Securities Board of Nepal.

They were selected purposively from Prithvi Narayan Campus, Pokhara, which is the largest constituent campus of Tribhuvan University. In-depth interviews were taken with six course teachers from different subjects to generate information. Though teaching practice is the core of teacher education program, it has some constrains. The course is designed to provide the hands-on experience to the prospective teachers through rigorous practice under the close supervision of course teachers, but the output is not found as expected and the program is also not free from criticism. The study revealed that the program was not achieving its objectives prescribed by the curriculum. It was just becoming teaching not training in reality. Lack of motivation and dedication of prospective teachers; similarly, devotion and integrity of supervisors, cooperation of cooperating schools, university’s policies, job opportunities in home country, unfair and flexible evaluation practices were explored as the main issues and challenges for its effective implementation and output. The findings of the study will be useful to the policymakers, professionals, prospective teachers and other stakeholders to reform the present phenomenon.
