School Self-Concept of Children in the System of Lower Secondary Education in Slovakia -
Comparison of Slovak and Roma Children
Authors: Čerešník Michal , Čerešníková Miroslava
Published: October 2024

In the paper we compare a school self-concept in Slovak and Roma children in the system of lower secondary education. As a method of diagnostics we used the Student’s Perception of Ability Scale (SPAS, in Slovak Dotazník sebapoňatia školskej úspešnosti detí) by Matějček, Vágnerová (1992), who are the authors of the original Czech and Slovak standardisation. We used the innovated form of the scale (Čerešník, 2013). The results of the statistical analysis show significant differences between the compared groups in the monitored indicators of the school self-concept. If we accept that the majority of Roma children come from socially disadvantaged environment then these children belong to children with special educational needs (according to the Act No. 245/2008). Thus, the worse school self-concept in Roma children is not a surprising result. This finding is valid, especially in the relation to possible subdeprivation or deprivation experience based on the deficiency of stimuli leading to saturation of physiological, social and psychological needs.

Published: October 2024

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of mothers' democratic, authoritarian, permissive, and overprotective parenting styles in childhood obesity and mothers' perception of their children's body weight.
Method: The research was cross-sectional in design, and a total of 94 children aged between two and six years were included, together with their mothers. Mothers were administered the Parental Attitude Scale, and children's Body Mass Index (BMI) was classified using age- gender-specific tables of the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). The effect of mothers' parental attitudes on their children's BMI groups was evaluated. However, mothers matched their child's appearance to the appearance they thought corresponded to the age and gender-specific weight plot and mothers' weight perceptions were evaluated.
Results: The prevalence of overweight-obesity among children was found to be 19.2%. There wasn’t statistically difference between democratic, authoritarian, overprotective and permissive parenting styles and BMI categories of children (p=0.819, p=0.878, p=0.319, p=0.494). The mothers of overweight-obese children perceived their children as significantly overweight compared to other children (p

Authors: M Ali Zarkasyi , Busra  , Hazmi Dan Yusri
Published: October 2024

This study aims to analyze the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) before and after receiving Murabaha financing from PT BPRS Rahmah Hijrah Agung. MSMEs play a crucial role in Indonesia's economy, significantly contributing to community development and job creation. However, they often face various challenges, particularly in accessing financing. The Murabaha financing offered by BPRS, a sharia financial institution, provides an alternative for MSMEs to obtain business capital without the burden of high interest rates and complicated requirements typically associated with conventional banks. This research examines the differences in sales turnover, order volume, market reach, product quality, business profits, employment opportunities, financial management, and competitive ability of MSMEs before and after receiving financing from BPRS. The data used in this study is sourced from MSMEs that have received Murabaha financing during the period of 2020-2023.
The research findings indicate a significant improvement in various aspects studied after MSMEs received Murabaha financing. These results suggest that the sharia financing products from BPRS play a crucial role in supporting the growth of MSMEs in Indonesia, particularly in enhancing their business capacity and competitiveness in the market. This study also highlights the importance of socialization and education regarding sharia financing products to improve MSME actors' understanding of the available financing options.

Reforma systemu celnego Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Mazur Grzegorz
Published: October 2024

The reform of the EU customs system. In May 2023 the European Commission presented the legislative package of the reforms of the EU customs code. The Commission’s proposal, responding to current challenges in the global trading system, has been the most ambitious reform in the EU customs union’s history since its beginning. The general purpose of the chapter is to identify the main changes to the EU’s customs code resulting from the reforming package. The analysis is based on the texts of legislative proposals prepared by the European Commission that yet must be adopted within the EU’s legislative process. The conducted analysis reveals that the reforming package includes new instruments and solutions that would transform the Union Customs Code to a more digital, integrated and efficient system. The presented proposals include among others the creation of the EU Customs Data Hub and the EU Customs Authority that will create the institutional and operational framework of the renewed EU’s customs system. The proposed legislation provides also for new regulations referring to e-commerce, including the new status of ‘deemed importer’ and modified treatment of goods ordered online from outside the European Union. The UCC reform is also part of a strategic shift within the EU’s Common Commercial Policy towards a more open, sustainable, and assertive trade policy.

Diversification of socio-economic development in Poland in the light of European cohesion policy and sustainable development goals. In the article, the impact of the EU Cohesion Policy on the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 10 (SDG), focusing on reducing inequalities in Poland, is examined. The aim is to assess whether the Cohesion Policy effectively contributes to reducing income inequalities and the labour market, thereby leading to economic convergence within the EU, at the national and regional levels, with particular emphasis on Poland’s position and its socio-economic development diversifica- tion. The study focuses on the analysis of economic indicators, including purchasing power-adjusted GDP per capita and employment rates for the years 2010–2022, in the context of the objectives of the Cohesion Policy and the 2030 Agenda. The study’s findings confirm that in terms of reducing income disparities and improving employment, the cohesion policy could have been effective due to the convergence of the analysed indicators. In particular, the situation in Poland during the analysed period was satisfactory, as the country improved its results in terms of both analysed SDG10 indicators, nationally and regionally. Also, the overall SDG index for Poland and its overall ranking position is highly satisfactory, and the Gini coefficient, which illustrates income disparities, is at a good level in relation to other countries.
El cuerpo que la modernidad imaginó: sensibilidad, capitalismo y arrogancia
Authors: Verhelst Hoyos Santiago
Published: October 2024

El cuerpo se ha convertido en un recurso visual clave para la presentación y definición de la identidad personal, acompañado de un llamamiento a la exploración sensible en virtud de experiencias que intensifiquen un sentido localizado. La pregunta ¿cómo hacer inteligible el cuerpo que la modernidad imaginó? fue desarrollada a través de la estructuración de cuatro estratos de discusión. El punto de partida es la incapacidad de denotar un cuerpo completamente desnudo, es decir, un cuerpo hermético, substancial o esencial; la emergencia del cuerpo como una realidad psicosomática, el posicionamiento del cuerpo en la ciudad después de la revolución industrial y la consideración de un consumo ostensible como rasgo arrogante de clase. Esto implica el establecimiento de un marco de confrontación que combina estudios sobre el cuerpo en lo que respecta a la sensibilidad, historiografía, el ordenamiento de la ciudad después del siglo xviii, el capitalismo, con un marcado énfasis político-social. Se concluye que el cuerpo, como nuestra posición o condición de estar en el mundo y afectarlo, es una realidad abierta, flexible, que está determinada histórica y políticamente por el pasado. La sensibilidad, que parece una evidencia con relación a nuestro aparato nervioso y sentidos, atiende a estructuraciones, especificaciones, focalizaciones y repartos. El objetivo de este artículo es examinar, fundamentalmente, cómo la sensibilidad y su producción convergen con el capitalismo y la individualidad como formas de socialización, difuminadas desde la consolidación de la ciudad y la ostentación de un nivel pecuniario que da priorización al cuerpo.

Authors:   Head of the Department of International and Integration Law of the Institute of Law of the Ufa University of Science and Technology, Nigmatullin Rishat V.
Published: October 2024

The article examines the measures the Soviet government took to combat child homelessness in the first decades of the 20th century. It was established that during these years the formation of legislation regulating the protection of homeless orphans and children without parental care was initiated. The leading role in the struggle against child homelessness was played by the Extraordinary Commission of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee for Improving the Lives of Children (Children’s Commission of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee) headed by F.E. Dzerzhinsky. Under the leadership of the Children’s Commission of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, local Children’s Commissions were created. They managed to unite the efforts of regional authorities to save children from famine. For this purpose, children were evacuated from areas where famine raged to more prosperous regions of the country. In the early 30s of the 20th century the state directed its efforts to expand the network of orphanages in the country, strengthened their material base and created subsidiary farms. In order to reduce the burden on orphanages, patronage or adoption of children by farmers came into use.

Importance of a Comprehensive Geological and Economic Assessment for Determining the Legal Regime and Further Use of Subsoil Management Waste
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Law of the Novosibirsk Military Institute, Proschalygin Roman A.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of determining the legal regime and further use of objects arising during the implementation of mining activities by an economic entity. The current legal regulations on subsoil use, regulating relevant social relations, contain a number of gaps and internal contradictions regarding the use of subsoil waste, which do not allow the full implementation of the state program for the rational use of natural resources. During the study, it was found that the possibility of using subsoil waste depends on its legal regime, which must be determined on the basis of a comprehensive geological and economic assessment carried out without fail by the subsoil user. As a result of the analysis of regulatory requirements, judicial practice and doctrinal sources, recommendations were made and proposals were formulated to introduce changes and additions to the norms of the current legislation on subsoil use aimed at solving the existing problem.

An Agreement on Hunting Business as a Civil Agreement
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Private International and Entrepreneurial Law of the Kuban State Agrarian University Named after I.T. Trubilin, Netishinskaya Lyubov F.
Published: October 2024

The article discusses issues related to legal regulation in the field of hunting and conservation of hunting resources. Special attention is paid to the civil law regulation of property relations, primarily those of obligations arising in connection with the conclusion and execution of a hunting agreement. As a result of the analysis of the legislative provisions of the Federal Law “On Hunting”, contradictions of certain norms of the Federal Law “On Hunting” to each other, as well as the legislative provisions of the Federal Law “On Hunting” to the legal requirements of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the vagueness and incompleteness of some legislative provisions of the Federal Law “On Hunting” were revealed. In such circumstances, the practical application of the provisions of the Federal Law “On Hunting” by participants in civil turnover is difficult or impossible, and may also lead to negative legal consequences. We consider it necessary to eliminate contradictions between the legislative provisions of the Federal Law “On Hunting” and the current legislation. It is proposed to resolve these issues by making amendments and additions to the legislative provisions of the Federal Law “On Hunting”, in particular, to the norms on the definition of a hunting agreement, its parties and content. This will improve the quality of the legislative provisions of the Federal Law “On Hunting” and ensure the possibility of their correct practical application by participants in property turnover, since there is a need for this. When writing the article, the following methods were used: general scientific (formal-logical, systemic, structural-functional), general logical methods of theoretical analysis, private scientific methods, including formal-legal and technical-legal analyses.

O demarkacji prawa publicznego i prawa prywatnego
Authors: Raźniak Maciej
Published: October 2024

Dyskusję nad demarkacją prawa publicznego (ius publicum) i prawa prywatnego (ius privatum) można streścić, rozważając dwie zasadnicze kwestie: (α) zasadność podziału oraz (β) wybór kryterium, wzdłuż którego podział ten należałoby przeprowadzić. Czytając wypowiedzi polskich filozofów prawa, trudno oprzeć się wrażeniu, że nie dostrzegają oni granicy między (α) i (β), a co za tym idzie – odrębności obu tych zagadnień. Powyższego stanu rzeczy nie można zaakceptować, o ile spór o demarkację chce się potraktować poważnie. Dlatego celem niniejszego artykułu będzie wyraźniejsze odróżnienie owych problemów. Idzie nam w szczególności o pokazanie, że dociekania służące ustaleniu, czy demarkacja ius publicum i ius privatum jest zasadna, mogą abstrahować od tego, które kryterium podziału zasługuje na wyróżnienie. W praktyce bowiem oba problemy – co daje się uzasadnić zarówno teoretycznie (wspierając się wyłącznie definicjami i środkami stricte logicznymi), jak i empirycznie (wykorzystując materiał normatywny dogmatyki prawa) – są względem siebie autonomiczne.

Published: October 2024

Monografia stanowi zbiór wybranych tekstów Autorki z lat 2005–2019 dotyczących szeroko rozumianej pracy i polityki w kontekście etycznym. Zagadnienia te rozpatrywane są z perspektywy normatywnej – z punktu widzenia określonego, społecznego, w tym ekonomicznego, ładu aksjonormatywnego. Ważną kwestią są zmiany, jakie zachodzą w obszarze pracy i jej stosunków oraz w sposobie funkcjonowania współczesnych demokracji pod wpływem rozwoju technologii cyfrowych. Głównymi adresatami tej publikacji są: przedstawiciele nauk społecznych, ekonomicznych i politologicznych, a także studenci, organizatorzy życia gospodarczego i politycy. Książka z pewnością  zainteresuje również szersze grono Czytelników, dla których problemy oraz przemiany współczesnej pracy i polityki są interesujące i ważne.

Autorka […] wielokrotnie podkreśla, że każda forma ludzkiej aktywności, w tym […] praca w jej różnych odsłonach, również praca naukowca czy praca polityka, podlega ocenie etycznej, a kompetencje etyczne stanowią atrybutową cechę szeroko pojmowanych kompetencji merytorycznych.
Z przedmowy ks. prof. zw. dr. hab. Janusza Mariańskiego
O wyjątkowej wartości tej monografii stanowią […] aktualność i waga podejmowanych w niej kwestii społecznych. Dotyczy to zwłaszcza problemów związanych z deficytami etycznymi polityków funkcjonujących w formule liberalnych demokracji. […] do istotnych wątków rozważań Autorki zaliczam te, w których podkreśla, że pojawianie się […] cywilizacji algorytmów zmieni na przykład moralną przestrzeń pracy, a pracownicy być może staną przed wyzwaniem podejmowania transgresji etycznej w związku z rozwojem sztucznej, samouczącej się inteligencji.

Quadratic functions for efficient load balancing in the terminals of a substation of a three-phase asymmetric network with power loss reduction capabilities
Authors: Riaño-Enciso Lina María , Montoya-Giraldo Oscar Danilo , Gil-González Walter Julián
Published: October 2024

This research addresses the problem of optimal load balancing in terminals of the three-phase substation by proposing three quadratic objective functions. These objective functions are formulated considering active, reactive, and apparent power consumptions aggregated at the terminals of the substation. The proposed formulation belongs to the mixed-integer quadratic models’ family, which can be solved globally with specialized mixed-integer convex tools. To evaluate the effect of load redistribution in the substation terminals, the 15- and 35-bus grids are tested using each of the proposed quadratic functions. In addition, Broyden's unbalanced power flow method is used to determine the extent of power loss reduction and enhancement of voltage profile. Numerical results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed mixed-integer quadratic model in enhancing electrical performance in three-phase asymmetric networks through load balancing at the substation terminals. After solving each quadratic function for the 15-bus grid, power losses were reduced between 12.9624% and 17.2550%, and these reductions were between 5.0771% and 7.7389% in the 35-bus grid.

En esta ocasión quisiera compartir una breve reflexión sobre la discusión de los resultados y su importancia para un artículo científico, ya que es una de las principales causas de rechazo de los manuscritos en la fase de evaluación.
 
Es muy frecuente que los investigadores noveles a la hora de elaborar sus manuscritos, se limiten a describir los resultados, a veces de forma redundante, replicando la misma información en tablas y figuras e incluso en el propio texto, sin realizar la discusión respectiva. El documento elaborado de esta manera se constituye en un estudio de caso, limitando su interés a una comunidad muy reducida, usualmente la propia población objeto del estudio, ya sea una empresa, una institución educativa o una organización social, dependiendo de la temática tratada.
 
En este sentido, es necesario destacar que la discusión de los resultados corresponde al contraste de los hallazgos propios con los de otros investigadores, lo cual establece el carácter científico propiamente dicho de un artículo. No basta con describir los resultados y brindar la opinión sobre lo observado, sino que esas observaciones deben discutirse a la luz de lo reportado en la literatura, ya sea a favor o en contra de nuestros propios hallazgos.
 
En otras palabras, las hipótesis se verifican inicialmente a través del análisis de los resultados, y en una segunda instancia, a través del contraste de esos resultados con los publicados por otros investigadores. En síntesis, la discusión de los resultados de una investigación hacen crecer a la comunidad académica, aportando nuevas visiones a la investigación científica en una disciplina determinada.
 
En el presente fascículo, Vol. 14 No. 2, se incluyen doce artículos, los cuales invitamos a consultar y utilizar en sus trabajos académicos. Asimismo, se invita a los interesados en publicar los resultados de sus trabajos de investigación, a que envíen sus manuscritos a la revista. Los requisitos de forma se pueden consultar en nuestra página WEB, en el apartado de instrucciones para los autores, los cuales deben ser atendidos escrupulosamente para reducir los tiempos de evaluación.

A lakóhely és a többi elektromos mikromobilitási eszköz elérhetőségének hatása az e-rollerek használatára Magyarországon
Authors: Szemere Dorottya , Dobos Imre
Published: October 2024

Az elektromos mikromobilitási eszközök egyre népszerűbbek a városi közlekedésben, mivel képesek csökkenteni a személygépkocsitól mint személyszállítási eszköztől való nagyfokú függést, amely sok városban és fő közlekedési útvonalon hozzájárul a fokozott szintű légszennyezéshez és a forgalmi torlódásokhoz. Bár az e-mobilitási alternatívák mérsékelik a negatív környezeti hatásokat, egyes tanulmányok szerint ez attól is függ, milyen közlekedési módot váltanak ki vele a használók. Míg ezeknek a fenntartható közlekedési eszközöknek egyértelműen vannak előnyei, addig az európai országok nagy része továbbra is küzd az elektromos rollerek közlekedési ökoszisztémába történő integrálásával. Figyelembe véve a fentebb is említett integrációval kapcsolatos nehézségeket, feltáró kutatásunkban szerettünk volna választ kapni arra, hogy a lakóhely és az elektromos rollerek használata között kimutatható-e szignifikáns összefüggés, és ha igen, az mennyire erős. Vizsgáltuk továbbá azt is, hogy az elektromos roller használatára hatással van-e, ha elérhetők az adott területen más mikromobilitási eszközök is. A kapott eredmények azt mutatják, hogy sem a lakóhely, sem más mobilitási eszközök elérhetősége nem befolyásolja szignifikánsan az elektromos rollerek használatára vonatkozó felhasználói döntéseket.

Authors: Adha Aziza Zahrotul , Kinanthi Citra Anggun
Published: October 2024

Background: Tuberculosis is transmitted through infected droplets. Ponorogo Regency is ranked 8th in TB mortality rates in East Java. The highest TB cases in Ponorogo Regency are in the Kauman Community Health Center and most people with pulmonary TB work as farmers. Purpose: The aim of the research was to analyze the effect of humidity, temperature, and ventilation area on the incidence of pulmonary TB in farmers in the working area of Kauman Health Center, Ponorogo Regency. Methods: The research design is analytical observational with a case control approach. The number of research samples was 39 cases and 39 controls. The sampling technique uses simple random sampling. The research data sources are primary data and secondary data with measurement techniques. The dependent variable in this study is the incidence of pulmonary TB in farmers. Meanwhile, the independent variables are humidity, temperature, and ventilation area. Data analysis uses univariate and bivariate analysis using logistic regression tests. Results: Most respondents have houses with humidity levels that do not meet the requirements (59%), room temperatures that do not meet the requirements (79.5%), and ventilation areas that do not meet the requirements (73.5%). There is a significant influence between humidity (p value 0.007; OR=3.753), temperature (p value 0.032; OR=3.889), and ventilation area (p value 0.025; OR=3.437) on the incidence of pulmonary TB in farmers. Conclusion: There is a significant influence between humidity, temperature, and ventilation area on the incidence of pulmonary TB in farmers.
Some Aspects of Improvement of the Run Length Encoding Compression Method
Authors: Poriev Viktor
Published: October 2024

The object of research presented in this article is the RLE method and its application to the compression of bitmap images.
The purpose of this research is to invent more advanced codeword formats for packing chains of repeated pixels compatible with coding single pixels of an image to increase the degree of compression by the RLE method.
To achieve this goal, a generalization of the known formats of code words in the form of a corresponding structural model was performed. This made it possible to find some directions for improvement of RLE coding. Several new ways of packing chains of pixels together with single pixels are proposed to increase the degree of image compression compared to the already-known versions of RLE. These latest methods are included in the set of packaging methods called RLE_BP. The RLE_BP encoder automatically searches for the optimal parameters of the codewords to achieve the minimum possible amount of binary code for a particular image.
Experimental studies of raster compression based on synthetic tests were performed to compare the proposed coding methods with known implementations of the RLE method. The proposed coding methods allow to achievement of greater compression of certain categories of high-resolution bitmap images compared to known ones.
The results of the performed research can be used to build a wide class of hardware and software tools.
Towards a Generic Fascism
Authors: McClain Brown Cody
Published: October 2024

This paper explores the question of whether fascism is an epochal phenomenon or a generic set of characteristics by looking at the playable faction, the Imperium of Man, in the tabletop game and lore of the Warhammer 40k universe. It examines the fascist elements present in the Imperium’s governance, societal structures, and leadership, drawing parallels with historical fascist regimes like Nazi Germany. Within the context of the debate in the literature on fascism, it raises the argument that though Warhammer 40k is a fabricated, fictional universe, the mobilizing passions of its martial ethos and the repressive logic of its ideology demonstrate how fascism can exist beyond the time and place of the interwar period and the Second World War. Ultimately through the exploration of the Imperium of Man, this paper shows fascism is more than an epochal phenomenon, and should be seen as a seductive epiphenomenon capable of returning as an emergent and powerful political force.
“Give your love full rein”: Mandragola, (Homo)Sexuality and Princely Virtue
Authors: Žagar Davorin
Published: October 2024

This article provides an alternative, sexual reinterpretation of Machiavelli’s Mandragola from an alternative sexual perspective focusing on sodomy (in its sixteenth-century meaning), and especially male-male sexuality. In this reading, Messer Nicia is, put in today’s terms, a homosexual and, at the same time, surprisingly enough, the key, princely character in the play. Dri ven by a desire to establish a new, less oppressive familial order, Nicia is able to renew his corrupted family by means of a conspiracy aimed at liberating Lucrezia’s sexuality from the restraints of the dominant morality. Mandragola constitutes an intrinsic part of Machiavelli’s political project, showing how the explosion of sexual desire beyond the confines of dominant heteronormative morality can serve as a productive way of expressing plebeian desire not to be oppressed and commanded by the great, which proves beneficial to all.
Comparing the Brand Value of Countries

Published: October 2024

Branding in international relations is no longer an added value, but a necessity. Countries that are trying to become globally recognizable and that are constantly developing their brand understand this very well. There is no single answer to the question of how strong a country is as a brand. That’s why tourists, consumers, the media and the public in general take different indexes of brand countries as relevant indicators. Regardless of the difference in their methodology, the best-known global indexes, included in this work, point to the importance of managing countries as brands and the influence of image on economic, political and other successes in the international market, which ultimately speaks to the importance of high positions on the indexes that enable the countries’ global media promotion. The aim of this paper is to present and clarify the methodology of the global index of brand countries, but with a special emphasis on Croatia as a brand. The authors analyze how the methodologies were set in

Published: October 2024

Extremely halophilic isolates were obtained from mangrove vegetation of west coast Bordi region, Maharashtra India. All six isolates were selected for further investigation on the basis of their potential of producing enzymes amylase, protease and lipases respectively. Production of enzyme from isolates was performed using basal medium with starch, skimmed milk and tributyrin. Ammonium sulphate salt precipitation and dialysis was performed to obtain partially purified crude samples of enzymes. Activity of crude enzymes was determined in unit/ml by using standard methods. Also the effect of pH and temperature on enzyme activity was also determined.
Analysis of the Feasibility of Tiger Prawn and Finfish Polyculture Business Using Land with Different Ownership Status In The Coastal Area of Pinrang Regency
Authors: Syahrial Muh. Syahrial
Published: October 2024

The objective of this research was to assess the financial feasibility of tiger prawns polyculture (Penaeus monodon) with finfish (milkfish, tilapia, and white snapper) using a leased land system and privately owned land. The sample of respondents was determined by purposive sampling technique in which the number of respondents each was 34 people for privately owned land and leased land. The primary data were collected through direct interviews with respondents. To determine the variations in financial feasibility parameters between the two polyculture cultivation systems, the data were examined using quantitative descriptive analysis, business financial analysis, and a t-test. The results showed that the polyculture business of tiger prawns and finfish using privately owned land with leased land had a significant difference in the income parameters, R/C ratio, and return on investment (ROI) and was not significantly different for the payback period (PP) parameter. The average value of the parameters of the financial feasibility analysis are: income of Rp. 7.043.771/year, R/C ratio of 1,44, PP of 4 years 1 month, ROI of 40,97%, NPV of Rp. 35.375.216, IRR of 77.32%, Net B/C 2,98 for privately owned land systems and income of Rp. 4.007.466/year, R/C ratio of 1,28, PP of 4 years 10 months, ROI of 24,88%, NPV of Rp. 21.492.203, IRR of 50,36%, Net B/C 2,12 for leased land system. Financially, the cultivation system on private land is more profitable than the polyculture cultivation system on leased land. However, in general, both polyculture cultivation systems are profitable and feasible to be continued and developed.
