Masyarakat Kelurahan Tanjung Senang Kecamatan Kotabumi Selatan Lampung Utara merupakan wilayah yang strategis karena tidak jauh dari pusat pemerintahan Kabupaten Lampung Utara. Ibu-ibu di kelurahan tersebut hampir sebagian hobi dengan tanaman hias, namun terkendala pada media tanam, oleh sebab itu perlu dilakukan pelatihan pembuatan media tanam yang berbahan dasar kearifan lokal. Pada pelatihan ini dihadiri oleh seluruh apparat desa dan diikuti oleh peserta pelatihan sebanyak 35 orang. Peserta begitu antusias selama mengikuti pelatihan ini dan hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa masih banyak peserta yang belum mengerti terkait media tanam. Harapannya dari pelatihan ini peserta dapat menghidupkan bunga hias yang ada dirumah dengan subur dan dapat dijadikan ide usaha bagi ibu-ibu PKK ataupun ibu rumah tangga, sehingganya dapat meningkatkan perekonomian kelurahan Tanjung Senang.

Gapoktan Jali Jaya is one of the facilities for farmer activities in Talang Jali Village, North Kotabumi District, North Lampung. The use of chemical pesticides is common among farmers, especially in the Jali Jaya Gapoktan. Even though the price is expensive, farmers still use it, because the response to pests is faster. There are several alternatives to replace chemical pesticides, namely the application of Biopesticide. Studies have been carried out that natural products come from plants with groups of secondary metabolites and bioactive compounds such as phenolics, alkaloids, terpenoids and other secondary chemicals so that they can control OPT (Plant Pest Organisms). The aim of training on the manufacture and use of biopesticides is to increase public awareness of how important it is to have healthy plants, protected from pests and not damaging the environment. This service activity is carried out through evaluation, preparation, training and implementation stages. Direct training and practical methods are used in its implementation. The results of the lecturer's community service activities were that Gapoktan members, the majority of whom were farmers, were very enthusiastic about taking part in the training and making biopesticides and participated in the activities until completion. Participants also helped practice making biopesticides using choppers and putting the ingredients into drums. Farmers' knowledge increased about biopesticide applications and 50% of participants used biopesticides to protect cultivated plants from pest attacks, especially insects.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to determine how intellectual capital (IC) affects Islamic general banks' maqashid sharia performance from 2018 to 2022. The components of IC, namely Human Capital (IB-VAHU), Capital Employed (IB-VACA), and Structural Capital (IB-STVA), are the three independent variables under investigation. This study employs a secondary quantitative research design, as determined by Econometric Views (E-Views) version 12's panel data linear regression approach. The study's participants are Islamic Commercial Banks registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK). With a sample size of 11 businesses, the sample was chosen using the purposive sampling technique, making a total of 13 banks included in the study. Secondary data was employed in this investigation. The data collection process uses the documentation method accessed via each Islamic commercial bank's official website. The study's findings show the positive relationship between human capital and maqashid sharia performance; the higher a company's human capital, the better its maqashid sharia performance. Capital Employed has no bearing on how well Maqashid Sharia works. The performance of maqashid sharia is negatively impacted by structural capital; the coefficient value, which is pointing in the negative direction, shows that the more human capital a corporation has, the lower its maqashid sharia performance.

Authors: Nyataya Benard , Kamau Dr John N
Published: January 2025

Til a til Limited, established in the early 2000S quickly became a dominant player in Kenya’s floriculture industry, particularly in Naivasha. The company’s expansion was marked by significant job creation and economic growth, positioning it as the world’s largest producer of cut roses by 2008. However, its success was short-lived due to various internal and external challenges. Financial mismanagement, including tax evasion and debt accumulation, led to the company’s receivership in 2014. The document outlines several strategic objectives for Til a Til Limited’s potential revival; Diversify crop varieties, reduce debt, launch online sales platforms and community bloom program. The study captured the implementation and resources that involved operational transformation, financial restructuring, technological advancement, and community engagement. Key strategies include streamlining operations, adopting lean management practices, and utilizing new technologies to enhance efficiency.

Authors: Abdullah Thani Ayu Kamareenna , Muhamad Mira Qerul Barriah , Amran Atiela , Rosely Nur Hidayah
Published: January 2025

Organizational citizenship behavior is crucial in public service, where effective collaboration and discretionary efforts significantly influence organizational success. Despite extensive research on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), limited attention has been paid to how person-group fit (PGF) influences OCB, particularly in the context of public service employees. Moreover, the role of work involvement as a potential moderator in this relationship remains underexplored. This study addresses these gaps by investigating the interplay between PGF, OCB, and work involvement among public service employees, shedding light on mechanisms that foster a cohesive and productive workforce. 376 questionnaires were issued and 371 were returned, resulting in a response rate of 98.67%. The analysis utilized SPSS to examine the person-group fit. The findings of this study indicate that work involvement has no moderating effect on the relationships between person group fit and OCB. The paper discusses the ramifications of the study.
Scopus weighted CiteScore: A better alternative to plain CiteScore
Authors: Kumar Atul , Gawande Amol , Kale Shailendrakumar , Agarwal Akash , Brar Vinaydeep , Raibagkar Shirish
Published: January 2025

Objective. CiteScore has become a widely used tool for assessing journal performance in recent years. This paper aims to show the limitations of the plain CiteScore and propose a better alternative: the weighted CiteScore, which captures the percentage of publications cited and improves journal ranking.
Design/Methodology/Approach. Using an exploratory research methodology, we show the limitation of a plain CiteScore, calculated by dividing the past four years' citations by publications in the past four years. We demonstrate how a plain CiteScore can convey misleading results about the overall quality of a journal based on one or a few high-performing publications. Using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, we prove that the journal Citescore ranking changed significantly using a weighted CiteScore method.
Results/Discussion. The analysis shows how a single open-access paper’s citation can significantly swing the overall ranks and percentiles in a specific domain due to plain CiteScore. Weighted CiteScore better represents the journal's performance, considering the number of publications cited.
Conclusions. Results of ranking journals based on plain CiteScore can be misleading. Our hypothetical and empirical analysis shows the need for a weighted CiteScore methodology. There has to be a level playing field by factoring in the percentage of publication citations.
Originality/value. The paper makes a novel contribution by suggesting an accurate and fair performance metric. It will be of significant value to libraries and researchers when assessing the quality of a publication.
Effectiveness of Compensation Recovery Strategies in Enhancing Customer Experience in Star-Rated Hotels in Mombasa County, Kenya
Authors: Keya Judith , Pepela Anthony , Kivuva Alex
Published: January 2025

Since today’s customers not only purchase goods and services for their utilitarian but also hedonistic benefits, service recovery has become an integral part of any hotel that wishes to remain competitive. In a bid to remain competitive, most hotels have developed service systems. However, none of the systems in place are perfect. Though compensation has been proposed as a means of securing competitive advantage, scant evidence exist suggesting that the same can be used as recovery strategies to enhance customer experience. While using star rated hotels in Mombasa, Kenya, this study sought to adduce the effectiveness of compensation recovery strategies in enhancing customer experience using descriptive research design. Staff from10 front-line sections within the 17 rated hotels in Mombasa County formed the sampling frame. Data were collected by the use of an on-line questionnaire due to COVID-19 pandemic that prevailed during the study period. A pre-test of the questionnaire was done on one of the hotels, and the results were subjected to the Cronbach formula producing a reliability index of 0.989. Data were analysed by the use of inferential and descriptive statistics and the findings presented in tables, bar graphs and pie charts.  From the findings, descriptive analysis on customer experience indicated that front line managers agreed and strongly agreed that when customers are pleased with their recovery effort, they receive referrals from them, they spend more money in the establishment, they show eagerness to return on, they become more loyal, they share with others about the good services, and they trust that any offer given to them in the future will go right. Descriptive analysis on the dimensions of the three strategies (compensation, staff actions, and communication strategies) produced high means and low standard deviations, indicating that front-line managers often and always applied the three recovery strategies whenever a failure occurred. The regression analysis of the three hypotheses indicated that the three strategies have a statistically significant influence on the customer experience if used effectively. Other than advancing scholarly work in the field of service recovery, the findings inform Kenya’s Ministry of Tourism and hotel stakeholders as a whole by guiding in policy review and formulation so as to help in minimizing service failures.

Authors: Nkirote Ratanya Scholastica
Published: January 2025

Currently, there exists great effort to ensure enhanced mainstreaming of persons living with disability (PWDs).  Such efforts have surfaced despite a myriad of challenges. This study was founded on two objectives:  follower characteristics as antecedents of LMX on organization performance in PWDs institutions and moderating effect of organization culture on follower-characteristics of LMX relationships and organization performance in PWDs institutions. The study was founded on two theories namely: Leader-Member exchange theory and Social Exchange theory. A conceptual framework presented the relationship between the variables of the study. Descriptive research design was used and the target population was lower level managers and subordinates at all levels within the organization. Stratified sampling of the various departments in the selected institutions were applied and random sampling and convenience sampling were used in the generation of the sample size. The study used a sample size of 39 and semi-structured questionnaires were used as data collection tool. A pilot study was conducted and applied Cronbach alpha reliability estimate. SPSS for windows version 21 was used to analyze data using descriptive statistics.  Study results provided a reliable follower-characteristics framework of Leader-member relationships in organizations.   One of the findings of the study was that followers possessed diverse characteristics that had a significant influence on leadership. Hence, the study concluded that focusing on follower-characteristics aids in availing new ideas on handling their work as well as interacting with their supervisors. In addition, followers are expected to ensure that they put their ego in control. The study recommends that followers are encouraged to consider fellow workers views to enhance creativity in problem solving.  The study also recommends that followers be tasked with ensuring that they hold themselves to a high standard of personal success to achieve team goals.
AI-Enhanced Cybersecurity Training: Learning Analytics in Action
Authors: Ravi Chourasia
Published: January 2025

Cybersecurity is growing increasingly intricate due to the rapid expansion of interconnected systems and the global landscape of threats. To address these challenges effectively, a proficient cybersecurity workforce capable of making complex decisions in the ever-changing cyberspace is essential. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being quickly integrated into cybersecurity operations, it is crucial to comprehend the foundational learning theory and ecosystems to adequately train human operators and AI-assisted cyber defense teams. Cybersecurity exercises (CSXs) serve as popular instructional tools for cyber preparedness. Nevertheless, the utilization of learning analytics (LA) techniques and AI-driven approaches in exercise development and implementation is still nascent. We advocate for a comprehensive model of human-AI interaction within the context of LA and CSX. This model unifies aspects of human-AI interaction, cyber ranges, cybersecurity practices, LA tools, multimodal learning analytics, exercise life cycles, and pedagogical strategies. We also explore the potential and obstacles for implementing LA and AI in cybersecurity training. By examining the role of AI through a lens of learning, instruction, and administration in cybersecurity training, particularly within exercises, we seek to prompt further discourse on the future of collaboration between humans and AI and how to enhance cybersecurity training through innovative LA and AI capabilities

The Ultimate Self-Esteem Toolkit
Authors: Williams Risa
Published: January 2025

Risa Williams does an amazing job at breaking down the complexities of self-esteem. The tools she uses are clear and concise, with relatable examples that make it easy for anyone to connect with. As a psychotherapist myself, I was interested in the section entitled, “The Evidence Investigator”, because people often accept their thinking as fact and fail to evaluate it to see if it is logical and rational based on the evidence they have. This book teaches people how to engage in the metacognitive process, or thinking about their own thinking, which is crucial to shaping our perceptions of ourselves. -- Stevon Lewis, licensed therapist, author, and host of How to Talk to High Achievers About Anything

Published: January 2025

Abstract: Access to safe and clean drinking water is essential but  underground water contamination by some (heavy) metals poses a serious threat to water quality in many areas. This research focus was to analyze the concentration of various metals in underground water samples obtained from different locations in Malete, Kwara State, Nigeria. The metals of interest include lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), uranium (U), and cobalt (Co), which are associated with adverse health and environmental effects, such as cancer and other forms of diseases. Through atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), the samples collected from Westend 1, Westend 2, Yidi road, New Yidi road, and School Road were analyzed to assess the concentration of some metals that can pose health risks. The results showed that the average lead (Pb) concentration across samples was 0.07 mg/L, chromium (Cr) was 0.02 mg/L, the average manganese (Mn) concentration was 0.16 mg/L, Uranium (U) averaged at 0.02 mg/L  and Cobalt (Co) was found at an average concentration of 0.03 mg/L. The results  were compared with the World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water quality standards. Chromium (Cr) concentration was below the WHO  standard of 0.05 mg/L suggesting a low risk of chromium toxicity. while other metals were above the standard. Hence ,the results identified potential sources of metal contamination and represents a significant step toward addressing the environmental and health challenges posed by some metals contamination in Malete.
Revenue Recognition Models Under International Financial Reporting Standard No. 15 And Polish National Accounting Standard No. 15
Authors: SZYSZKA Jaroslaw
Published: January 2025

Despite the extraordinary relevance of revenues, their topic is too little addressed in the theoretical discussion of accounting. Now is a good time to revive the international discussion, since the first experience of applying IFRS No. 15 on revenue is already known. An additional motivation for the Author was the NAS on revenue published in his home country. The solutions contained therein are not the same as IFRS 15, which contributes to the discussion. In this article, the Author focused on the timing of revenue recognition – as this aspect was resolved differently in both standards. The article uses the method of source analysis, the method of historical analysis and the methods of deduction and induction. The author presented a historical outline of the approach to revenue in accounting, pointing out the dominant role of the balance sheet approach. He then presented the theories touching on the issue of when to recognize them, with particular emphasis on the contractual model (net position), which forms the basis of IFRS 15, and the risk-reward assumption model, which was adopted by the Polish NAS. The article concludes with a consideration of the implications of the two models adopted, which could be the beginning of further academic discussion.
APPLICATION OF BAYESIAN ANALYSIS FOR COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE STATE OF FISH RESOURCES IN FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMS
Authors: Shapen К.М. , Akhmedov A. , Rakhymova А.Т.
Published: January 2025

Water resources, including rivers, lakes and reservoirs, play a key role in maintaining the ecological balance, developing fisheries and preserving biodiversity. To ensure effective management and rational use of water resources, scientific research is conducted annually, including control fishing, which isaimed at determining the permissible catch volumes and developing strategies for preserving the aquatic environment. Within the framework of such studies, special attention is paid to water quality, the state of the food supply and the analysis of fish populations, including species, numbers and age structure.This study uses a Bayesian approach that reveals complex patterns and dynamic changes in ecosystems that remain invisible when using traditional statistical methods. This approach contributes to a deeper understanding of processes occurring in water bodies and to the optimization of fisheries management. Bayesian analysis allows for more accurate predictions of changes in fish populations and their structures, which contributes to improved management of aquatic ecosystems and the conservation of biodiversity.

Today, it is important to organize and conduct physics experiments at a high modern level. Practices based on phenomena and laws from physics include not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical skills. However, the need for expensive equipment that requires time and safety measures when performing traditional laboratory work in the field of physics causes difficulties. It also limits the possibility for students to comprehensively study physical patterns during practice. The use of VR (virtual reality) technology in the organization and conduct of physical experiments will eliminate these problems and make asignificant contribution to achieving learning outcomes. VR technology creates conditions for students to conduct experiments without hazardous materials and complex equipment. This, in turn, makes the activities in the educational process more optimal and safe. In this sense, the main idea and purpose of this study is to determine the features of the use of VR technology in teaching physics, effectiveness in achieving learning outcomes. The study examined examples of teaching some complex physics topics and determined the impact of VR on the assimilation of the topic, the possibility of improving the learning outcomes of laboratory classes. In the course of implementing the research objective, research methods were used: meta-analysis, questionnaires, mathematical and statistical analysis, etc. The results of the study showed the methodological features of the use of VR technology in physical experiments and the effectiveness in improving learning outcomes with ease of mastering the topic. In addition, at the end of the pedagogical study, the students expressed a desire to increase their interest and motivation in learning using VR technology.

The Impact of Occupational Safety, Workload, and Compensation on Employee Job Satisfaction in the Mining Industry: A Case Study of PT BCKA
Authors: Haiedar Muhammad Hafis , Kholifah Siti
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the impact of workplace safety, workload, and compensation on employee job satisfaction at PT BCKA, a prominent mining company in Indonesia. Employee job satisfaction is essential for fostering productivity, loyalty, and retention, which are critical in maintaining operational excellence in high-risk industries like mining. The research adopts a quantitative descriptive approach and employs multiple linear regression analysis to assess data collected from 91 employees through stratified random sampling. Data was gathered using a structured questionnaire containing 40 items measuring workplace safety, workload, compensation, and job satisfaction. Instrument reliability and validity were confirmed using Cronbach's Alpha and Pearson correlation. The findings indicate that workplace safety, workload, and compensation significantly influence employee job satisfaction, explaining 93% of its variance (R² = 0.93). Workplace safety positively impacts satisfaction, emphasizing the importance of secure work environments, while workload exhibits a negative effect, highlighting the need for balanced task allocation to mitigate stress. Compensation positively correlates with satisfaction, underscoring the value of equitable and competitive remuneration systems. Among these factors, workload is identified as the most dominant, reflecting its critical role in shaping employee satisfaction. This study offers practical insights into improving job satisfaction at PT BCKA. It recommends enhancing workplace safety protocols, optimizing workload distribution, and implementing transparent and fair compensation systems. Although the study focuses on a single mining company, future research could expand its scope to other industries and incorporate additional variables, such as career development and organizational culture, to provide a comprehensive understanding of job satisfaction.
Vegetarijanstvo in veganstvo ter njuna percepcija med slovensko populacijo
Authors: Črnič Aleš , Brečko Barbara
Published: January 2025

Članek predstavlja analizo rezultatov študije o vegetarijanstvu in veganstvu ter njuni
splošni percepciji, opravljene na reprezentativnem vzorcu polnoletnih prebivalcev
Slovenije. Po statistično podprti oceni pogostosti tovrstnih prehranskih izbir in
motivov ter demografske strukture vegetarijancev in veganov se v osrednjem delu
osredotoči na percepcijo in odnos splošne populacije do tovrstnih idej in praks.
Ta odnos je prevladujoče skeptičen, argumenti za vegetarijanstvo in veganstvo
splošne populacije ne prepričajo, do teh prehranskih praks je pretežno odklonilna. S podrobnejšo analizo izluščimo tri distinktivne skupine anketirancev: skoraj
polovica je do vegetarijanstva in veganstva izrazito odklonilna, petina jim je rahlo
naklonjena, tretjina pa je nekje vmes. Ključni dejavniki, ki skupine razlikujejo med
seboj, so starost, izobrazba, socialni položaj anketirancev, njihovo zadovoljstvo
z življenjem, odnos do politike in demokracije ter religije in duhovnosti.

TIME TRENDS IN YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH BETWEEN 2008 AND 2019 IN SLOVENIA
AND THE UNITED STATES
Authors: Rutar Minea
Published: January 2025

A growing body of evidence shows that youth mental health issues have become
prevalent since 2010. Current research is disproportionately focused on trends in
English-speaking countries, making the generalisability of the evidence unclear.
The paper presents comparative analysis of suicide rates, anxiety, depression,
and general psychological distress symptoms among young Americans and Europeans, with a focus on Slovenian trends. The results show that the prevalence
of anxiety disorders and milder symptoms of psychological distress has been
growing among young people in both the United States and Slovenia, as well as
across Europe. The rise in suicide rate and the prevalence of severe depression
seems to be limited to the United States. The disproportionately stark rise in
mental illness among American youth calls for a more thorough understanding
of what causes youth mental health time trends.
