Authors: Sappaile Baso Intang , Abeng Andi Tenri , Nuridayanti Nuridayanti
Published: July 2023

Background. Exploratory factor analysis can be used as a guideline for constructing instrument homogeneity.
Purpose. Factor analysis is the queen of analytical methods because of its strength, flexibility and closeness to the nature of scientific aims and objectives.
Method. Roughly speaking, an instrument whose items measure only one trait in general and can determine the indicators of a research variable. To determine the number of indicators based on eigenvalues greater than or equal to one, both in the initial factor analysis and in further analysis.
Results. A statement item is declared eligible for inclusion in a factor if the item has a factor load greater than or equal to 0.30 on only one factor. Similarly, an indicator is declared feasible if its factor load is greater than or equal to 0.30.
Conclusion. The item that has the highest factor load on a factor contributes the most to that factor, so that item is used as the basis for guidance in naming a factor as the name of the indicator.

Published: July 2023

A pandemia de COVID-19, desencadeada pelo surgimento do novo coronavírus, tem sido um dos eventos mais significativos dos últimos anos, afetando a vida de milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo. Existe uma estreita associação entre a pandemia de COVID-19 e o desenvolvimento de sintomas de ansiedade e depressão, como já relatado em estudos. Embora o estresse e a depressão em si não causem problemas bucais diretamente, eles podem levar a mudanças de comportamento que podem afetar a saúde oral. Efeitos adversos significativos no estado psicoemocional levaram a intensificação do bruxismo, sintomas de DTM, além da dor orofacial. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar em artigos científicos as consequências do estresse psicossocial causado pela pandemia de COVID-19, associado às restrições relacionadas a esse período, na saúde bucal. Tratou-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, na qual foram sucedidas buscas de estudos, com coleta de dados nos sites Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Google Acadêmico e SciELO.  Os dados foram coletados entre os meses de março a maio de 2023. Sobre a relação entre ansiedade, depressão e a saúde bucal no período da pandemia de COVID-19, foram selecionados 14 estudos, no período de 2020 a 2022. A partir da leitura na íntegra dos artigos foram estabelecidos 4 núcleos temáticos: Núcleo 1: Ansiedade e depressão em tempos de pandemia. Núcleo 2: Saúde bucal no período da pandemia. Núcleo 3: Relação entre ansiedade, depressão e bruxismo. Núcleo 4: Relação entre ansiedade, depressão e disfunção temporomandibular. Concluiu-se que a pandemia da COVID-19 esteve associada ao aumento dos níveis de estresse, ansiedade e depressão. Tais condições estiveram relacionadas ao surgimento, desenvolvimento da DTM e do bruxismo, assim como da piora dessas condições preexistentes.
A preservação da atividade empresarial na falência à luz do princípio da preservação da empresa como forma de redução de danos sociais
Authors: Ferraz Daniel Amin , Sahade Filho Wilson Sampaio
Published: July 2023

O princípio da preservação da empresa foi sedimentado no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro de tal forma que até mesmo nas hipóteses de falência deve ser buscada a preservação da atividade empresarial, sobretudo em razão da diminuição dos danos sociais que essa política pública proporciona. A análise desse objeto deve ser feita por meio das finalidades da falência, desde o advento da Lei n° 11.101, de 9/2/2005, à luz do conteúdo e do objetivo da preservação da atividade empresarial e sob o enfoque da função social da empresa. Para isso, se fez necessário a superação do legalismo e, ainda, decorreu da evolução da matéria no Brasil, necessário para se trabalhar a tese de que a continuidade do negócio minora os danos sociais da falência.

Published: July 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a política de desinvestimento da Petrobras após 2014 à luz de teorias que discutem as disputas entre proprietários e gestores em torno do controle de empresas de capital aberto. O estudo constatou dois posicionamentos estratégicos distintos por parte da empresa em questão nos últimos 15 anos. Até 2013 prevaleceu uma política agressiva de investimentos, que foi substituída a partir do ano seguinte por uma estratégia de priorização dos retornos de curto prazo, da maximização do valor aos acionistas e da venda de ativos fixos. Dada a importância da Petrobras para a economia brasileira, o trabalho conclui que tal mudança de posicionamento pode ter impactos prejudiciais no longo prazo.

The Challenges of Advancing Inclusive Education: The Case of Somalia’s Higher Education
Authors: Abdullahi Abdulkadir Mohamed
Published: July 2023

Purpose:  Higher education in emerging countries, particularly in Africa, has been observed as a privilege for those with the ability. Disabled persons cannot access it. Only 2% of disabled people in developing countries have access to inclusive education, impeding their growth. Somalia's disability rate is unknown due to its long history of violence and healthcare breakdown. It may exceed the UN's 15% worldwide standard. However, this paper will explain the challenges of advancing inclusive education (Colleges and Universities) in the case of Somalia’s higher education.
 
Methodology: This study uses secondary literature to examine how higher education supports inclusive education in Africa, with a focus on Somalia.
Findings: This study indicated that barriers inside and outside institutions prohibit disabled students from attending higher education.
 
Limitation: Lack of appropriate disability legislation, financial support, a narrowly defined set of legibility criteria, pessimistic attitudes, discriminative practices, and inaccessible locations are such barriers.
 
Recommendation: To overcome these obstacles and make higher education accessible to Somali students with disabilities, an inclusive education strategy may be the best course of action.
Original Value: By conducting a comprehensive study, this research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing a detailed understanding of the specific obstacles hindering inclusive education in Somalia.

Published: July 2023

Purpose:  This research focuses on adopting and using smartphone-based digital payment systems among Generation X and millennials in Jakarta, Tangerang, and South Tangerang, Indonesia.  Combining UTAUT-IRT was used to investigate digital payment acceptance.
 
Theoretical framework:  This study examines the effect of the UTAUT and IRT factors on the behavior intention to use e-money and actual usage of e-money.
 
Design/methodology/approach:  The study utilizes a non-probability convenience sampling technique, with a sample size of 268 respondents. Data collection is conducted online through Google Forms. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS software is employed for data analysis.
 
Findings:  The research findings indicate that performance and effort expectancy do not significantly influence behavior intention among Generation X and millennials. However, social influence and facilitating conditions drive behavior intention among Generation X and millennials. Technology usage significantly influences behavior intention among millennials. In contrast, technology value influences behavior intention among Generation X. Traditional payment methods significantly impact behavior intention among Generation X but not among millennials. Technology risk and technology image do not significantly influence behavior intention in both groups. Behavior intention positively impacts actual usage among both Generation X and millennials.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  This research provides insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and e-money providers to understand the factors driving behavior intention towards e-money adoption among Generation X and millennials, suggesting targeted strategies to promote adoption and enhance the convenience and facilitating conditions for digital transactions, leading to increased financial inclusion and efficiency.
 
Originality/value:  This study contributes to the existing literature by examining the influence of factors on behavior intention toward e-money adoption among Generation X and Generation Y in Indonesia. It fills a gap by analyzing generational differences and motivations for adopting e-money, considering the specific context of personal payment needs.

Authors: Derewicka Olga , Maj Dorota
Published: July 2023

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of genotype on the rearing indices and milk yield of Burgundy Fawn (BF), Flemish Giant (FG) and New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits and their crosses. The experiment was performed according to the breeding program: FG FG = FG; NZW NZW = NZW; BF BF = BF, NZW FG = NZWFG; BF FG = BFFG; NZW BF = NZWBF. Litter size and litter weight were recorded from birth to weaning on the 35th day of life. The size of litter at birth was largest for purebred BF rabbits (9.20 kits), there were no significant differences in the size of the litter. The coefficient of milk yield of females remained on similar level for all genetic groups, and it ranged between 3.5 for purebred NZW females and 3.76 for the BF females crossed with Flemish Giant males. Rearing effectiveness was lowest for litters of purebred FG rabbits (79.12%), and highest for litters of BF females crossed with FG males (96.00%), however there were no significant differences between the groups. It was found that crossing of BF or NZW females with FG males results in a great effectiveness of rearing and high litter size, no significantly different from typical broiler breeds therefore, such crossing could be recommended for the production of rabbits.

Published: July 2023

Nigella sativa L., a common herbaceous seed spice of India and Middle East, was identified by many researchers to have a spectrum of pharmacological and nutraceutical potentials. The seeds of nigella and its oil were widely used for centuries in the treatment of various ailments throughout the world. It is an important drug in the Indian traditional system of medicine. It is established that most of the potential and fruitful activities are inbuilt in its volatile oil and protein components. Most of the therapeutic properties of this herb are due to the presence of thymoquinone and its isomers which are the major active chemical component of the essential oil. Nigella seeds are also used in food as flavouring, additive in the breads and pickles because it has very low level of toxicity. The significant content of fats, proteins and minerals in the seeds, makes nigella suitable to be investigated as a source of these nutrients. This review incorporates a deeper view into crop cultivation along with various quality parameters of N. sativa and its constituents responsible for its pharmaceutical and nutraceutical attributes.

Published: July 2023

Field experiments were conducted to assess the soil test crop response (STCR) based fertilizer requirements for pearl millet-wheat sequence under integrated nutrient management (INM) under long term field experiment since 2003 at IARI, New Delhi. The results indicated that the STCR based fertilizer with 10 tonnes FYM/ha recorded highest mean grain (3.62 and 6.13 tonnes/ha) and stover/straw (7.0 and 8.01 tonnes/ha) yields of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L. R. Br) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), which were 123.4 and 104.3 % higher in term of grain yield over control, respectively. STCR based fertilizer with 5 tonnes FYM/ha, STCR based chemical fertilizer and RDF treatments were statistically at par with respect to yield of pearl millet and wheat. Higher system grain yield (9.74 tonnes/ha) of pearl millet-wheat cropping system was recorded with STCR based integrated use of fertilizer with 10 tonnes FYM/ha. Nutrients uptake by pearl millet and wheat were significantly higher in STCR based fertilizer with 10 tonnes FYM/ha as compared to other treatments. Available N, P and K status in post-harvest soil was improved significantly with 20 tonnes FYM/ha alone as compared to other treatments but statistically at par with STCR based fertilizer with 10 tonnes FYM/ha. The long term study based on STCR clearly demonstrated that STCR based integrated use of fertilizer for targeting yield can produce targeted yield of crops and save the fertilizer without impairing soil fertility.

Published: July 2023

The phenological events, height class distribution, volume and biomass of Himalayan birchor bhojpatra (B. utilis D. Don) were monitored along the altitudinal gradient in distinct ecological settings at Sindh and Tangmarg forest divisions in western Himalayas, Kashmir. The observations recorded revealed high synchrony throughout the altitudinal gradients, especially for bud set, bud burst, peak flowering and seed maturation. All the phenological events began early at lower elevation as compared to higher elevation. The timing of phenophases along the altitude was governed by the timing of snow-melt which is usually responsible for early phenological changes in the northern alpine habitats. The height, volume and biomass showed a decreasing trend with increasing altitude at both the sites. Higher number of trees (116.71 trees/ha) with maximum height, volume (112.38 m3/ha) and biomass (57.31 tonnes/ha) were recorded at 3 000-3 200 m asl. The values for all these parameters decreased with increasing altitude from 3 200-3 400 and 3 400-3 600 m amsl, respectively. The short growing seasons, reduced air and soil temperature (an adiabatic effect), increased exposure to wind, lower availability of nutrients and increased exposure to frost are some of the common features of high altitude niches which greatly influences the growth of the existent vegetation.

Authors: SUJATHA S , BHAT RAVI , CHOWDAPPA P
Published: July 2023

Arecanut (Areca catechu L.) is a highly profitable plantation crop but faces recurring problems due to several crop, climatic and soil constraints resulting in reduced productivity and profitability. In this review, we summarize the results of several experiments conducted in India on arecanut based cropping system indicating the advantages, disadvantages and implications of adopting cropping system on productivity, soil fertility, profitability and resource use. According to this critical review, initial period of 5-6 years is ideal for growing annual and biennial crops. In later years, mixed cropping with other shade tolerant crop species is advocated. Short statured crops like tuber crops, rhizome crops, vegetables, flower crops can be successfully grown in arecanut during pre-bearing stage. Perennial crops like cocoa, banana, black pepper, acid lime and cardamom were successful component crops for grown up arecanut plantations. Value added crops like vanilla, and medicinal and aromatic crops (MAPS) come up very well in arecanut. Intercropping of MAPS contribute to productivity increase of 11-53 % and realize net return per rupee investment up to 4.25. Efficient high density cropping models involving component crops like cocoa, banana, pepper, acid lime, cardamom etc. developed for different arecanut growing regions in India in terms of resources use are discussed. Recyclable biomass produced from arecanut based cropping system varies between 8.72 to 10.35 tonnes/ha/year. The recycling potential of organic matter from some cropping system models is also discussed. The present review indicates that cropping system approach is indispensable for arecanut farmers to improve resource use and profits in the context of climate change and WTO.

Henna (Lawsonia inermis L.) is an important commercial plant of India grown mainly for its leaves used for dying hair, skin etc. The seeds of henna are small typically pyramidal, endospermic with a linear embryo. The freshly harvested seeds show endogenous non-deep physiological dormancy and pre-treatment of seeds, viz. leaching, chilling, priming, GA3 and KNO3 co-application reduced dormancy. The physiological dormancy was transitory and disappeared during storage due to after-ripening. Seed storage studies revealed that seeds with 5 and 7 % moisture content did not show significant reduction in seed longevity up to 24 months in ambient storage in comparison to seeds with higher moisture content. Seed deterioration was slow at 15 and â€“20oC storage temperatures. The seeds are desiccation as well as chilling tolerant, therefore, exhibit orthodox seed storage behaviour which makes them ideal for ex-situ conservation in seed banks for long term storage.

The study was purposively conducted among 97 women agri-preneurs of Vellore district of Tamil Nadu. Measuring precisely the success/failure of the rural women entrepreneurship is difficult and complex in the absence of a well- developed scale.Women agri-preneurs were grouped into four categories of success/failure by administering a measuring scale. As high as 47.43% of agri-preneurs were found to be in ‘somewhat success’ category, whereas 16.49% agri- preneurs were in ‘high success’ category and 9.27% of them were found to be in ‘high failure’ category and 26.81% of the agri-preneurs were found in ‘somewhat failure’ category. The Garrett ranking showed that successful women agri-preneurs perceived ‘self’, ‘family’, ‘skilled labour’, ‘credit transaction in time’ and ‘demand’, whereas unsuccessful agri-preneurs perceived ‘spouse’, ‘NGOs’, ‘friends’, Government incentives’ and ‘family’ as the five most important factors for success. Discriminant Function Analysis is a statistical tool used to discriminate between two classes of individuals on the basis of characters which are considered to be relevant. Stepwise procedure was used to identify the relevant variable and the significant ones were identified based on the ‘F’ test. The Fisher’s discriminant function equation established ‘achievement motivation’ ‘general perceived self-efficacy’, ‘collective efficacy’, ‘proactive attitude’ and ‘self-esteem’ as the top five most discriminating variables. Hence, trainings in achievement motivation development, team building, collective efficacy and developing personal managerial competencies like ‘proactive attitude’ need to be incorporated in women agri-preneurship development programmes for success in rural women agri-preneurships.

ABSTRACT

This article aims to analyze theoretical foundations about the meaning that school has for students in order to improve current educational processes. The research approach is qualitative and the study design is documentary. The results obtained show that school for some students is the place of socialization and encounter that offers them the opportunity to have a better future, while for others it does not generate any expectations, it does not make sense and they simply attend it out of obligation. This gives rise to the need to generate significant changes within the school, taking into account the context, diversity and interest of the students, to encourage their participation, improve educational practice and offer equal conditions. For this, it is essential that the school has its main and closest allies such as teachers, family and community.

RÉSUMÉ

Cet article vise à analyser les fondements théoriques sur le sens que l'école a pour les élèves afin d'améliorer les processus éducatifs actuels. L'approche de recherche est qualitative et la conception de l'étude est documentaire. Les résultats obtenus montrent que pour certains élèves l'école est le lieu de socialisation et de rencontre qui leur offre l'opportunité d'avoir un avenir meilleur, alors que pour d'autres elle ne génère aucune attente, elle n'a pas de sens et ils la fréquentent simplement par obligation . D'où la nécessité de générer des changements significatifs au sein de l'école, en tenant compte du contexte, de la diversité et de l'intérêt des élèves, pour encourager leur participation, améliorer les pratiques pédagogiques et offrir des conditions égales. Pour cela, il est essentiel que l'école ait ses alliés principaux et les plus proches tels que les enseignants, la famille et la communauté.

This question has been raised and discussed in this article. The true picture of society and culture must be portrayed in history. Autobiography is a source of history.

Sigi Regency's efforts in achieving the goals of improving welfare and increasing work competence of human resources, especially hybrid corn farmers in Rarampadende Village, Dolo Barat District, are through the application of the use of a moisture tester (Moisture Tester), which is a full-time activity for measuring corn moisture content. From the beginning, the average moisture content of 28-30% when harvested to 14% moisture content. How is the economic influence of farmers on the marketing of dry-shelled corn with a moisture content of 14% in Rarampadende Village, West Dolo District, Sigi Regency, and how is the economic influence in the use of the Moisture Tester on dry-shelled corn in Rarampadende Village, West Dolo District, Sigi Regency. Based on the description of the discussion above, it can be concluded that: The structure of the corn market that takes place in Central Sulawesi Province is not yet efficient, and the market structure that is formed leads to an imperfect competition market (oligopsony). And wholesalers as the dominant marketing agency in determining the price of corn. This is due to collaboration in price formation between brokers and wholesalers, one of the causes of price domination by wholesalers.
