The aim of the research was to determine whether there was a real interaction effect of Azolla POC concentration and the time interval of POC administration on the yield and growth of Pakcoy plants. The research used a Randomized Group Design (RAK) arranged factorially including 2 factors which were repeated 3 times. Factor I is the nutrient dose of Azolla liquid organic fertilizer which consists of 3 levels 4 namely D1: 0 ml/1 water, D1: 2 ml/l water, D2: 4 ml/l water, D3: 6ml/l water and Factor II is Time interval for application of 3 level Azolla liquid organic fertilizer. S1: Application time interval 2 days, S2: Application time interval 4 days, S3: Application time interval 6 days. Plant height (cm) was observed at 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 HST, measured using a meter. The number of leaves at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 WAP and leaf width at 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 HST were measured using a tape measure. Accumulated fruit weight per plant (grams) The wet fruit weight of Pokcoy plants is determined by weighing all parts of the plant (roots, stems, leaves). Plants were weighed one by one using an analytical balance. Observational data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with a level of α = 0.05 and if there were significant differences between treatments then a further test was carried out using the DMRT test (Duncan's Multiple Range Test) at a level of α = 0.05. The results of research that have been carried out have concluded that there is a real interaction between the concentration of Azolla liquid organic fertilizer (D) and the time interval for POC application on the growth and yield of Pak Choy plants. The best treatment combination for plant height variables; number of leaves; leaf area is the D2S2 treatment, namely the combination treatment of azolla POC concentration of 4 ml/L and the POC application time interval of 4 days, while for plant fresh weight the best combination is D2S3, namely the combination treatment of 6 ml Azolla POC concentration and 4 day POC application time interval with weight. fresh plants amounting to 58.17 grams.

El tratamiento de la fiebre tifoidea con cloramfenicol
Authors:   , Baza Segundino
Published: September 2023

El tratamiento específico de la fiebre tifoidea es harto importante para nosotros ya que esta enfermedad existe endémicamente en todo el país, siendo frecuentes asimismo las exacerbaciones epidémicas. En la provincia de Buenos Aires la mayor parte de la campaña está infectada y más aún, todos los veranos tenemos enfermos provenientes de la ciudad y barrios suburbanos, desprovistos de obras sanitarias. Si analizamos todos los métodos utilizados para el tratamiento de esta enfermedad hasta ahora empleados; balneoterapia, seroterapia, vacunoterapia, lodobismutato de quinina, etc., veremos que todos tienen un rasgo común que es la irregularidad de su acción pues a sorprendentes curaciones podemos oponer rotundos fracasos debiéndose ello a la falta de especificidad de los agentes terapéuticos empleados. Actualmente un moderno antibiótico, el cloramfenicol, abre un nuevo horizonte a los trabajos de clínicos e investigadores empeñados en encontrar una medicación específica; su advenimiento ha significado un profundo cambio en la evolución y patología de la fiebra tifoidea ya que detiene el curso de la enfermedad remitiendo la temperatura y los síntomas subjetivos rápidamente.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: Telecom firms and businesses use short message marketing to convey information, advertise their products, and establish customer relationships. This study attempts to understand the effects of SMS marketing on consumer attitudes and purchase decisions from a Bangladeshi perspective. This study extends the Ducoffe model of advertising value (entertainment, informativeness, and irritation) by including two constructs: credibility and personalization. Research methodology: A total of 220 mobile phone users were surveyed using non-probability convenience sampling techniques and data were collected across Dhaka City, Bangladesh. The research model was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The PLS-SEM (Smart PLS 3.3.9) software was used for path modeling. Before conducting the SEM, this study performed a series of tests to assess the reliability and validity of the data. Results: The findings revealed that informativeness and credibility are the most decisive factors influencing consumer attitudes and purchasing decisions. Limitations: This study neglects privacy concerns, social impact, effort anticipation, and monetary incentives that are crucial to customer attitudes and SMS marketing purchase decisions. This study was conducted using data from a single city in Dhaka, Bangladesh, indicating that the findings are limited to that country's scenario. Contribution: The results of this research provide theoretical contributions to the existing research in this field of study and practical implications for marketing professionals, mobile operators, and third-party service providers in developing appropriate strategies and policies for SMS marketing.

DO CONHECIMENTO GEOGRÁFICO À GEOGRAFIA ENQUANTO CIÊNCIA: o sentido do ensino de geografia na formação dos sujeitos sociais
Authors: Alves Trindade Gilmar
Published: September 2023

A proposta deste texto é articular o conhecimento geográfico à Geografia científica, estabelecendo a ideia de que compreender os processos que envolvem tal articulação é indispensável para a formação do professor de Geografia. A Geografia enquanto Ciência e enquanto disciplina escolar tem um significado importante na formação de sujeitos sociais que incorporem no pensamento a sua condição espacial produzida ao longo do tempo – e não apenas ao longo de sua própria existência. Nesse sentido, inicialmente, se discute alguns fundamentos da Geografia como Ciência que surge na modernidade, se firmando enquanto cátedra em 1870, na Universidade alemã. Em um segundo momento, o texto propõe um recuo no tempo para antes do início da Era Cristã, em busca dos primórdios da sistematização de conhecimentos que podem ser considerados como geográficos, dando destaque à contribuição dos filósofos gregos. A partir das ideias e dos estudos provenientes dos gregos e de outros povos da antiguidade foi possível que as civilizações posteriores reproduzissem, ampliassem e sistematizassem tais conhecimentos, diante da própria evolução que o desenvolvimento do mundo suscitou. Finalmente, se propõe a articulação entre os conhecimentos geográficos e a Geografia enquanto Ciência, reforçando o seu sentido como área de conhecimento que integra sociedade e natureza, tempo e espaço, possibilitando uma visão mais integrada do mundo e a formação de sujeitos sociais mais competentes para o exercício pleno da vida.
ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA E REALIDADE SOCIOESPACIAL NAS CIDADES CAPITALISTAS: condições desiguais, acesso à moradia e precariedade do habitar
Authors: Moreira Gilselia Lemos
Published: September 2023

A questão do Ensino de Geografia apresenta-se hoje revigorada no pensamento contemporâneo. Caracterizando-se por novas e diferentes abordagens, traz em seu bojo a preocupação fundamental no que se refere à análise crítica da realidade socioespacial mais ampla. Neste trabalho, apresentaremos um recorte de como vemos a articulação entre o Ensino de Geografia e a análise da realidade caleidoscópica do viver na cidade por diferentes classes sociais. Ao trilhar esse caminho, chamamos a atenção para o fato de que não evidenciaremos a pertinente questão socioespacial em si, nossa proposta é tratar o tema, tomando como ponto de partida a vida na cidade, destacando a luta pela moradia na produção do urbano na perspectiva da educação geográfica. Trata-se de um processo complexo e diverso, no qual está presente o entendimento do processo de produção e reprodução do espaço urbano, determinado pelo modo de produção capitalista. Parece-nos que somente se superamos a leitura ingênua desse processo e desenvolvermos uma análise crítica do modelo de sociedade ao qual optamos é possível compreender essa e muitas outras questões que envolvem o viver nas cidades capitalistas. Se o ensino de Geografia abre perspectiva para pensar o mundo contemporâneo e suas contradições, então, a crítica ao modelo de sociedade em que vivemos é, em essência uma possibilidade que abre caminho para uma transformação da realidade em questão. Desse modo a sala de aula pode ser o lócus para este exercício. O intuito é despertar nos alunos as bases necessárias para se construir ética e criticidade.

Authors: Das Swagata , Chatterjee Debasmita , Singh Banhishikha , Paira Krishnendu , Das Satadal
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Hot springs have been used for medicinal purpose since ancient times. Bathing in the hot springs is effective in treating skin infections, arthritis etc. Bakreshwar, located in Birbhum district of West Bengal is known for its ten hot springs of varying temperature (35°C-71°C). These hot springs have relatively high sulphur content and are believed to heal skin infections. Aim: To study whether Bakreshwar hot spring water can effectively act on Gallus gallus embryo infected with Staphylococcus aureus. Methodology: Fourteen days old embryonated eggs were inoculated with freshly prepared suspension of Staphylococcus aureus. The hot spring water, collected from Agnikund(65°C), was used to check whether it can cure the bacterial infection effectively. Following harvesting morbid anatomy study was done followed by allantoic fluid collection, RNA was extracted and cDNA was synthesized. This cDNA was then used to study the cytokine gene expression changes. Result: By comparing cytokine gene expression in control and curative sets, it was observed that there were improvements in general appearances of the embryos and IL-10 and IFN-γ expressions were enhanced in bacterial control set whereas in the curative set the gene expressions were much less. Conclusion: It is thus inferred that hot spring water has curing effect in Staphylococcus aureus infection and is also capable of normalizing the cytokine balance in such infection.

Self-esteem represents the degree of positivity or negativity each person feels towards him/herself, as well as the value he/she places on him/herself, the respect he/she shows for him/herself and the opinion he/she has of his/her own importance. Some authors have concluded that there are bidirectional links between low self-esteem and addictive disorders. The following study aims to assess the degree of self-esteem in patients hospitalized in the addictology department of the Arrazi University Psychiatric Hospital in Salé for the management of addictive disorders. A socio-demographic and clinical data sheet was used, along with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Social Self-Esteem Inventory to assess patients' self-esteem. 58 patients were recruited in this study. scores on the Rosenberg scale ranged from 19 to 38, with a mean of 27.7, and those on the Social Self-Esteem Inventory from 82 to 158, with a mean of 107. Around 79% of patients had low to very low self-esteem according to the Rosenberg scale. Thus, therapies aimed at improving patients' self-esteem can improve the management of addictions.

Published: September 2023

Background: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Bizact™ and bipolar electrocautery on peroperative and postoperative bleeding, pain, operation time in pediatric patients. Methods: One Hundred and twenty eight (128) pediatric patients who underwent tonsillectomy were included in this prospective study. The patients were operated with indications of recurrent tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Patients with a history of bleeding diathesis and peritonsillar abscess were excluded from the study. Results: While the mean peroperative bleeding amount measured in the Bizact™ tonsillectomy group was 16 ml, the mean amount of bleeding in the bipolar cautery group was 65 ml. When the mean operation times were compared, the mean operation time in the Bizact™ group was 15 minutes, and it was significantly lower than in the bipolar cautery group, which was 22 minutes. Patients' postoperative pain scores and return to normal diet were also significantly lower in the Bizact™ group than in the bipolar cautery group. Pain scores of the patients on postoperative 1st, 3rd and 5th days were significantly lower in the Bizact™ tonsillectomy group than in the bipolar cautery group. While bleeding occurred on the 4th day in 1 patient in the bipolar cautery group, no postoperative bleeding was observed in the Bizact™ group. Conclusion: Bizact™ tonsillectomy provides safe peroperative and postoperative bleeding control, less pain, and an earlier return to normal diet and social life.

The age old problems of cholera, typhoid & diarrheal diseases center around gut problems & along with that typhoid continues to bother human race through its recurrence & chronic nature as it affects the peyer’s patches of the gut or the enteron. This article brings out the relation between a healthy gut & conditions like Atopy, Colorectal Cancer (CC) & Auto-immune, Metabolic & Neuro- Psychiatric Disorders. These disorders occur due to gut microbial dysbiosis in the humans. Here, Atopy manifests through skin & respiratory issues, Metabolic manifests through Obesity & Type 2 diabetes, Auto-immune manifests through Irritable Bowel Disease/Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBD/IBS), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Celiac Disease (CD) & Neuro-Psychiatric manifests through Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) [6- 29]. Human gastrointestinal tract hosts a complex ecosystem of approximately 300-500 bacterial species. All these encompass nearly 2 million genes & this is known as micro- biome. The number of bacteria within the human gut is roughly 10 times more than that of all the cells in the human body. The cumulative bacterial genomic content is immensely greater than the human genome [4- 30]. A generalized approach to Auto-immune Disorders (AD), Metabolic Disorders (MD), Neuro Psychiatric Disorders (NPD), Atopy & Colorectal Cancer (CC) has failed & modern medicine has already realized that new avenues to restore personalized interventions to restore microbial balance and improve overall health & that too all the related disorders as well [4- 29]. It is here that the article delves into Homoeopathy as it is a personalized system of medicine. Further, it has a range of medicines called ‘Bowel Nosodes’ that are prepared from the bacteria of the gut. Here ‘Bowel’ means the gut and ‘Nosodes’ means medicines prepared from disease products or organisms. As the set of medicines are prepared from the bacteria of the gut, these are called ‘Bowel Nosodes’ [14, 15]. The article sees through the .....

Background: Haemorrhage in the 1st trimester of pregnancy is bleeding occurring in pregnant women before 15 weeks of amenorrhea (SA). About 25% of pregnancies bleed in the first trimester and nearly half end in a birth pit. The objective of our study was to study the sonographic etiologies of hemorrhage in the 1st trimester of pregnancy. Subjects and Methods: This was a cross-sectional and prospective, multicenter 24-month study, carried out between January 2018 and January 2020, which involved 379 pregnant women who were between 07 and 14 weeks of amenorrhea (SA) and who presented with haemorrhage. The data collected were obtained from the ultrasound reports and a series of questions asked either of the patient or her companions. Data were entered and analyzed on SPSS version 26.0. Results: In our study, we performed 10,890 ultrasounds, of which 379 women had bleeding during the 1st trimester of pregnancy, i.e. 3.48%. The average age was 26 years with extremes ranging from 17 to 44 years. 202 patients or 53.3% were between 20 and 30 years old. 121 patients or 32% were multi gestures. 100 patients or 26.4% were pauciparous. The clinical information prompting an ultrasound was abdominal pain + metrorrhagia in 269 cases (71%). The sonographic etiologies were trophoblastic detachments with (45%); threatened abortion (27%), ectopic pregnancy (08.50%), pregnancy stopped (05.5%), clear egg (09%), mole (1.2%), retained placenta (2.2%), no cause (1.6%). Conclusion: Ultrasound is an examination of choice in the etiological diagnosis of first trimester metrorrhagia by the precision of embryonic vitality, the intra or extra uterine nature of pregnancy, the complete or incomplete nature of an abortion or molar pregnancy. It was invaluable for the etiological assessment of bleeding in the first trimester of pregnancy and allowed adequate management.

Aim: This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the level of self-esteem in Moroccan women, identify factors influencing self-esteem, and examine the developmental trajectory of self-esteem across different age groups. Material and Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 394 Moroccan women, utilizing the Rosenberg self-esteem scale and socio-demographic questions. Participants were recruited online through social media platforms. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The study found that self-esteem levels varied across age groups, with peaks in adolescence, around the age of 40-50, and at age 70. Most participants were from urban areas and had high educational levels, yet self-esteem levels were generally low. Factors such as the loss of a loved one during childhood and a history of cardiovascular disorders were significantly associated with lower self-esteem. Income, family situations, and traumatic childhood experiences also played a role in self-esteem levels. Discussion: The study's findings suggest that self-esteem development in Moroccan women follows a unique trajectory, influenced by cultural, social, and individual factors. The observed peaks and drops in self-esteem at different life stages provide insights into the complexity of self-esteem development. Additionally, factors like income, health issues, and childhood experiences can impact self-esteem. These results emphasize the need for culturally sensitive interventions to promote self-esteem and mental well-being in Moroccan women.

This report presents the methods, results, and applications of an updated flood-frequency study for the State of Illinois. This study, which uses data through September 2017, updates two previous studies that used data through 1999 and 2009, respectively. Flood-frequency estimates are used for a variety of land-use planning and infrastructure design purposes, including for the hydraulic design of bridges. The flood frequencies presented are the stream discharges (or quantiles) that are exceeded each year with a given probability, called the annual exceedance probability (AEP). Estimates are provided for eight AEPs: 0.5, 0.2, 0.1, 0.04, 0.02, 0.01, 0.005, and 0.002. The basic data used are the annual maximum discharges (peak flows) at streamgages in and near Illinois and the measurable physical properties (basin characteristics) of the basins upstream from those streamgages. The logarithms of the peak-flow records at qualifying streamgages were fit to the Pearson Type 3 distribution using federally recommended methods, providing one of the two primary products of the study, which is the set of peak-flow quantiles at the streamgages and their uncertainties. The other primary product is sets of equations, determined by least-squares regression, that relate the peak-flow quantiles and the basin characteristics. There is one set of equations for each of Illinois’ seven hydrologic regions, and, for each region, one equation for each AEP. These regional equations allow the estimation of peak-flow quantiles at ungaged locations throughout the state and their uncertainties. A set of illustrative example applications is provided, and tables of all results at all study streamgages and regions are provided in associated data releases. The study results are also being made available in a web application, StreamStats.

Представлена методика расчета деревянного мостового бруса, армированного лентой из углеродного волокна, при динамических нагрузках. Также выполнено теоретическое исследование работы деревянного бруса при циклических воздействиях. Определены геометрические характеристики мостового деревянного бруса, нормативное давление на ось вагонов, максимальное и минимальное давление на брус от одного колеса, коэффициент асимметрии цикла, период колебания (круговая, техническая частота и амплитуда колебания). Выводы. Теоретическое исследование было выполнено для установления новых зависимостей и свойств воздействия динамической нагрузки на деревянный брус, армированный углеродной лентой. Из полученных данных можно сделать вывод, что углеродная лента, используемая в качестве арматуры, значительно повышает выносливость деревянного мостового бруса на циклические воздействия.

Statement of the problem. A theoretical study of reinforced and non-reinforced carbon fiber tape wooden bridge beams under dynamic influences is carried out. Results. A method for calculating a wooden bridge beam reinforced with a carbon fiber ribbon under dynamic loads is presented. A theoretical study of the work of a wooden beam under cyclic influences was also carried out. The geometric characteristics of the wooden bridge beam, the normative pressure on the axle of wagons, the maximum and minimum pressure on the beam from one wheel, the coefficient of asymmetry of the cycle, the oscillation period (circular, technical frequency and amplitude of oscillation) are determined. Conclusions. A theoretical study was carried out to establish new dependencies and properties of the impact of dynamic load on a wooden beam reinforced with carbon tape. Based on the obtained data, it can be concluded that the carbon tape used as reinforcement significantly increases the endurance of a wooden bridge beam to cyclic impacts.

Постановка задачи. В ходе специальной военной операции на Украине многие здания были разрушены. Также с высокой долей вероятности могли подвергнуться разрушению производственные мощности, которые генерируют строительные материалы. В связи с этим необходимо создать методику, которая позволит еще на стадии планирования сократить издержки производства и избежать простоев в ходе выполнения строительно-монтажных работ за счет рационального распределения работ и ресурсов во времени. Результаты.Предложена методика восстановления, которая позволяет производить совмещение обследования зданий, анализа результатов обследований с последующим точечным выбором мероприятий по восстановлению объектов (ремонта, реконструкции, реставрации) и оптимизации календарного плана с помощью использования матриц коэффициентов совмещения с учетом факта ограничения материальных ресурсов в местах восстановления. Выводы. Предложенная методика позволяет учесть в себе все ограничивающие факторы, которые возникают в процессе строительства, ремонта или реконструкции.

Statement of the problem. During a special military operation in Ukraine, a lot of buildings were destroyed. Also, with a high degree of probability, the production facilities that generate construction materials could be destroyed. In this regard, it is necessary to create a methodology that will allow, even at the planning stage, to reduce production costs and avoid downtime during construction and setup work due to the rational allocation of work and resources over time. Results. The method of restoration is proposed, which allows combining the survey of buildings, analysis of survey results, followed by a point selection of measures for the restoration of objects (repair, reconstruction, restoration) and optimization of the calendar plan by using matrices of combination coefficients, taking into account the fact of limited material resources in the places of restoration. Conclusions. The proposed methodology enables one to take into account all the limiting factors that arise in the process of construction, repair or reconstruction.
Primary student teachers' teaching-learning conceptions, attitudes and self-efficacy beliefs toward science teaching
Authors: Ecevit Tuğba , Kingir Sevgi
Published: September 2023

Science education plays an important role at primary school level. Primary school teachers are the first to introduce science to students. Teaching-learning conceptions, attitudes and perceived self-efficacy of teachers towards science teaching are influential on pupils’ science learning. The aim of this study was to investigate primary student teachers’ (PSTs’) teaching-learning conceptions, attitudes, and self-efficacy beliefs toward science teaching.  The sample consisted of 231 PSTs from a public university in Turkey. The Attitude toward Science Teaching Scale, Science Teaching Self-Efficacy Belief Instrument, and Teaching-Learning Conceptions Questionnaire were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, multivariate analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation analysis were utilized for analyzing the data. Results revealed that PSTs exhibited a constructivist teaching-learning approach rather than a traditional teachinglearning approach. PSTs’ mean scores on science teaching self-efficacy beliefs and attitudes toward science teaching were found higher than the average. Females were more dominant than males in terms of the teaching-learning approach. Moreover, it was found out that the female’s science teaching self-efficacy beliefs and outcome expectancy were higher than the males.

This study aimed to explore Omani teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs for teaching science asinquiry and investigate the influence of demographic characteristics such as gender,teaching experience, and preparation programme on their beliefs. The study wasconducted with a sample of science teachers for grades 5-8 (n=588). Data collected fromadministering the standardized Teaching Science as Inquiry instrument (TSI) to thesample were analysed using a cross-sectional design. The results showed that teachersperceived themselves as highly successful in teaching science as inquiry. Female teachershad higher perceptions of themselves as highly successful in teaching science regardingPersonal Self-efficacy beliefs (PE) and Outcome Expectations (OE) for science teaching asinquiry than male teachers. Moreover, teachers with more teaching experience perceivedthemselves as more highly successful in teaching science as inquiry than those with lessexperience. Regarding the type of teacher preparation programme, there was nostatistically significant difference in teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. Omani teachers withmore experience teaching science by enquiry reported higher mean scores on teachingscience as inquiry. They had higher TSI scores than the teachers with low and moderateexperience. Accordingly, new graduate science teachers need to increase their knowledgeaspects and practices related to science as inquiry (SI). Therefore, the TSI could be usedfor science teachers in their training to examine how they conducted teaching science byenquiry in real classroom situations

This study aimed to examine the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) in developingscience process skills (SPS) and learning achievement on the topic of ‘Safety in OurEnvironment’ in secondary schools in Tanzania. The study employed a quasi-experimentaldesign. The participants for the study were Form One ‘Stream E’ students in theexperimental school and Form One ‘Stream D’ students in the control school. Data werecollected using a structured questionnaire and an achievement test. The results showedthat the use of the PBL approach increased the mean scores from pre-test to post-test thatwere statistically significant at p = .00 in developing SPS compared to traditional teachingmethods. Also, the use of PBL showed an increase in students’ scores on the achievementtest compared to the traditional teaching methods. Traditional teaching methods have theability to retain achievement at a low level of cognitive ability as compared to PBL.Furthermore, PBL showed that there was no statistically significant difference inachievement based on gender as compared to the traditional teaching methods. Thestudy recommends a continuous use of learner-centered approaches such as PBL inteaching and learning science subjects including Biology.
Conception of scientific literacy in the development of scientific literacy assessment tools: A systematic theoretical review
Authors: Istyadji Maya , Sauqina
Published: September 2023

Scientific literacy has become the goal of science education throughout the world. To assess scientific literacy, the development of a scientific literacy instrument is imperative. Several scientific literacy instruments have been created, such as those for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and Project 61 for Science for All America. In this study, the authors conducted a systematic literature reviewof journal articles that report on the development of instruments to measure scientific literacy. This study used Publish or Perish 7 software to study all related articles from the SCOPUS database using keywords related to scientific literacy instrument assessment. The result shows that of 290 articles there were 46 articles that developed scientific literacy instruments and 43 articles that used at least one framework to create scientific literacy instruments. This study found 12 frameworks that had been used to develop scientific literacy instruments. However, the authors also found an article that did not use any framework to create a scientific literacy instrument. In this article, the authors discuss the trend of scientific literacy instrument development and its framework, how the framework has been used, and possibilities for future studies regarding the development of scientific literacy instruments.

Authors: Setiawan Ananda
Published: September 2023

The aim of this study was to analyze the entrepreneurial self-efficcy (ESE) of teacher training students at ULM. This study uses an exploratory sequential mixed-methods approach (ESMMA) to an understanding of the entrepreneurial self-efficacy of economics education students of Universitas LambungMangkurat (ULM), Indonesia to find ways to become successful entrepreneurs. ESMMA analysis uses two research phases, namely the first stage is qualitative analysis with techniques namely data collection, display and conclusion). In the second phase, quantitative analysis was carried out using techniques namely quantitative data collection and data analysis. Data were obtained through developing entrepreneurial self-efficacy research questions: How can entrepreneurs manage stress during work?; Do entrepreneurs have original ideas in developing products?; Does the entrepreneur have a good relationship with anyone?; How do entrepreneurs analyse market opportunities, recruit employees, and be innovative to achieve success?. The results show that students have different personalities so that each decision for entrepreneurship is made in different ways. The analysis found that students need to develop risk management and uncertainty management skills, innovation management and product development skills, and interpersonal and network management to succeed in business competition.
