Authors: Berezhnytska Halyna
Published: December 2020

The paper outlines the research of main features of functioning of agricultural enterprises in Lviv region based on statistics and selected data of State Land Agency of Ukraine. The research shows the decline in the number of agricultural enterprises related mostly to insufficient land relations formed in the country. The author argues that substantial changes occurred in the structure of land use and land ownership of Lviv region in the process of land reform. In particular, the lands granted by residents to forestry or agricultural enterprises prevail in the structure of land resources of the oblast. Non-public agricultural associations prevail among agricultural enterprises – users of land resources. In terms of functional use, the land resources of agricultural enterprises mostly consist of arable lands. The structure of crop areas represents the real state of affairs and determines the specialization of agriculture in Lviv region taking into account the zonal soils and climate conditions, market conditions (internal and external), social and economic situation and environmental requirements to forming of agricultural landscapes. Land resources of agricultural enterprises in Lviv region show orientation of agricultural production on crop farming with prevailing industrial crops based on the chemical composition and quality of soils. The paper examines the qualitative composition of lands in the region and the peculiarities of maintaining their fertility. The author argues that soils mineralization substantially influences the quality of the grown agricultural products. On this basis the paper reveals the problems and obstacles of the management of land resources use by agricultural enterprises. Their overcoming should become the primary task towards strategic maintenance of efficient functioning of agricultural enterprises.

Authors: Korkuna Oryslava , Korkuna Ivan , Tsilnyk Oleh
Published: December 2020

Development of a territorial community requires efficient use of its capacity taking into account all possible aspects in the course of elaboration and implementation of the development strategy and other local legal and regulative documents. The approach is directly related to maintaining the living activity of a territorial community and should correspond to the interests of population and European standards of state regional policy. In addition to the definition of a community provided by the Law of Ukraine “On Local Governance in Ukraine”, there are also some other. For example, some authors understand territorial community as a single natural and social entity that operates in spatial boundaries of a state and realizes daily needs and interests of population. The paper aims to analyze legal and regulative foundation of the development of territorial communities in conditions of decentralization. The authors analyze current condition of legal and regulative maintenance of local governance reforming in Ukraine in conditions of decentralization of authorities. The paper argues that the major elements of management strategy in CTCs in Ukraine are independence, efficiency, management innovations, quicker and more substantiated decision-making and everything to meet the needs of community’s residents. Management of this sector is grounded on the principles of the provisions of European Charter of Local Self-Government that provides for decentralization of authorities and transfer of resources and responsibilities to local governments. Liabilities of local governments (of consolidated territorial communities) and the mayors are analyzed. The authors prove that in general legal provision of decentralization of local governance corresponds to European requirements and creates reliable ground for practical stage of the reform. The list of issues that require further legal regulation is outlined.

Authors: Benovska Liliya
Published: December 2020

The selected model of the decentralization of education in Ukraine involves the transfer of authority of management the educational network to local self-government bodies. The main task and result of reforming secondary education is the improvement of the quality of educational services. The purpose of the article is to develop a methodological approach to the assessment of quality of educational services and to identify the problems of their provision by territorial communities. «Quality of educational services» is considered as a complex, multicriteria concept, characterized by the level of knowledge of pupils, the correspondence of educational achievements with educational state standards, the level of material, personnel, informational, financial provision of educational process, innovation of the educational environment. The proposed methodological approach to the assessment of the quality of educational services includes two structural components: evaluation of the results of educational services and assessment of the process of provision educational services. The selected indicators of the quality assessment of educational services of general educational institutions are grouped into the following blocks: the level of pupils’ knowledge; infrastructural, informational, personnel, financial provision of educational process; organizational transformations of the educational network and the use of new forms of studying. The quality of general educational services of the united territorial communities of Lviv region is analyzed and evaluated. The most important problems of low quality of educational services are: poor resource provision of educational institutions in rural areas and low efficiency of its usage; lower level of knowledge of pupils of educational institutions in rural areas; frequent mismatch of hub schools with the requirements set for them.

Published: December 2020

The usage of UAV as a pesticide application technology is becoming a common practice in South East Asia with a very significant proportion of agricultural areas have now being treated using such method. Up to date, about more than 169 of various designs and configurations of UAV have been produced to cater the demand, however it is in doubt whether all these available models were optimally integrated with the spray systems to give the required spraying qualities. Despite of each UAV configuration has their own unique aerodynamic effects, it is crucial to determine their downwash airflow patterns, the spray distributions and the effective application parameters that could give high spraying quality. This research outlines the development of an indoor testing facility and its standardised testing procedure for evaluating the spraying performances of any model UAVs that are used in agricultural applications. The testing facility was developed to imitate the UAV in the actual field spraying operation. With 23 m travel length, the developed testing facility was designed to carry the test UAV up to 100 kg, adjust the test UAV at three levels of spraying heights (1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 m), and moves the test UAV up to a maximum travelling speed of 10 m/s.  The 6x6 m sampling platform structure for the pressure sensors and water sensitive papers was built underneath the rail support structure to measure and collect data for spraying distributions and downwash 3D profile spectrum. With the availability of this indoor UAV Testing Facility, it is expected that any efforts to increase the spraying efficiency using UAV could be tested repeatedly with same standard protocols, so that proper recommendations could be made on the flying requirements of the UAV in order to achieve an efficient agricultural chemical spraying operation.

Published: December 2020

The research aims to investigate the difference in rice bran compositions of three major paddy varieties in Malaysia, which are MR 220 CL2, MR 219 and MR 297. The proximate compositions, antioxidative properties and fatty acid profile of the rice bran were compared. Stabilization of rice bran of all varieties was conducted in prior to the extraction of rice bran oil (RBO) by using the Soxhlet extraction. Fatty acid compositions consisted in RBO of each variety were analysed by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results on proximate compositions showed that MR 297 was the highest in the content of moisture (3.90 ± 0.29 %), fat (22.52 ± 0.09 %), protein (12.70 ± 0.53 %) and crude fiber (3.65 ± 0.26 %). MR 297 variety also exhibited the highest antioxidant activity, which indicated by the highest amount of total phenolic content (TPC) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) compared to the other two varieties. Three components of fatty acids: palmitic acid; oleic acid; alinoleic acid have made up around 90% of the total fatty acids of the RBO for all varieties. The RBO also contains ideal fatty acid compositions with more unsaturated compared to saturated fatty acid, which makes it suitable to be used as a healthy edible oil. Results of this study can provide significant nutritional information for future investigations on the conversion of this agro-waste into valuable products for animals and human benefits.

Besides, people still think that socialmedia is used as the medium for people around the world to socialize with everyone instead ofmarketing their product or services, especially agro-based products. Entrepreneurs also did not usesocial media marketing because they do not have the sufficient knowledge on how to fully utilizethe social media to market their product. This will hinder them from using social media marketingin their business because they might need more time and assistance to learn how to employ socialmedia marketing. Thus, the main objective of this study is to investigate the adoption of socialmedia marketing among agropreneurs in Peninsular Malaysia. Primary data was collected usingstructured questionnaire via online survey. The questionnaire have been distributed through socialmedia platforms and e-mailed to the targeted respondents using purposive sampling method. Atotal of 113 respondents from 12 states in Peninsular Malaysia was successfully participated inthis study. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive analysis, chi-square analysis and factoranalysis. The results of this study indicated that the adoption level of social media marketingamong agropreneurs in Peninsular Malaysia is on the medium high level and the highest socialmedia platform adopted is Facebook. Besides that, the results of chi-square analysis showed thatrespondent’s demographic and business profile including gender, age, education level and typesof agro-based business operated has an association with the adoption of social media marketingamong agropreneurs.

Genetically modified (GM) foods are produced from the development of modern biotechnology and gene combinations of the same or different species. GM foods have become an important issue among Muslim consumers in consuming halalan toyyiban food produced from GM foods. This in line with the decision of Muslim consumers in the selection of halal food that is closely related to faith, religion, and culture in the Islamic society. Labeling on food packaging is an important indicator of every food product in the market by Muslim consumers to determine the halalness of a food product. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine factors that influence acceptance of GM labels on halal food among Muslim consumers. By using purposive sampling, 320 Muslim consumers were selected located in Klang Valley, Malaysia. An interviewer-administered questionnaire with the target consumers was carried out to obtain consumers’ responses. Several analyses were employed to analyze the data namely descriptive analysis, Chi-square analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and factor analysis. The results of this study revealed that the majority of Muslim consumers were not aware of GM labels on halal food. There were significant associations between age, education level, and monthly income and Muslim consumers’ acceptance of GM labels on halal food. The relationship between awareness and acceptance showed a weak positive relationship. This study also revealed labeling characteristics, religious belief, and health concern are the three factors that influenced Muslim consumers’ acceptance of GM labeling on halal food. This study emphasizes that a continuous encouragement to food manufacturers in providing and displaying proper labeling on food products would assist Muslim consumers to enhance their awareness and acceptance of GM labels.

Published: December 2020

Women have been the “Second Sex” for far too long and there are parts of the world where the patriarchy still has the noose of suppression hanging around women’s necks. In India, women are treated like goddesses as long as they don’t turn their backs on the ideals of Sita and Savitri; the epitome of self-sacrifice, tolerance, endurance, and blind loyalty towards the men in their life. The New Woman in Shobhaa De’s novels is conscious and well aware of what’s been done to her and is concerned with her personal growth. The research further forays into the comprehension of the insights the New Woman has and how she turns her life around for her betterment through the power of ‘Consciousness Raising’. Catherine McKinnon’s piece on ‘Consciousness Raising’ talks about the radicalization, internalization, and oppression of the women. In the paper, De’s novels Starry Nights and Socialite Evenings would be analyzed through the lens of McKinnon’s views.

Authors: Ms. Irfana Omar  , Dr. Seema Arif
Published: December 2020

Research related to access to higher education is often criticized for lacking a strong theoretical ground, arguing it is limited to seek information regarding the quality of infrastructure or teaching and learning. This study, however, seeks to draw a model for meaningful access to higher education regarding epistemic quality.  For this purpose, the relationship between factors influencing pedagogical access (Teacher Pedagogic Quality, Teaching Learning Environment, and Teacher-student Relationship) and factors leading to student success (student satisfaction and student engagement) is assessed. The researchers assume that meaningful and purposeful access is created for a diverse population entering higher education only by providing 'epistemological-pedagogical access,' ensuring student success. The study was quantitative, and correlational research design was used following the positivist paradigm. The researcher used a multi-stage sampling technique, to approach the target sample of 400 students studying in universities of Lahore (one public and one private). a close-ended questionnaire was self-constructed for the data collection, and advanced statistical techniques Pearson Correlations, and multiple regressions were applied using SPSS. The study concludes a model of epistemological-pedagogical access leading to success for the university students of Pakistan. Furthermore, this pilot study results also share the predictive value of pedagogical access to ensure student success.

В УСЛОВИЯХ ПАНДЕМИИ И РАСТУЩЕГО ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО ЭГОИЗМА
Authors: Птащенко Лиана
Published: December 2020

В статье рассматриваются вопросы формирования корпоративных отношений в Украине, которые основаны на модели финансово-промышленных корпораций. Актуальность подчеркивается тенденциями переформатирования общественных отношений, связанных с мировой пандемией. Вследствие карантинных мер, принимаемых для борьбы с COVID-19, мировая экономика и национальные экономики большинства стран находятся в кризисном состоянии. Это приводит к усилению экономического эгоизма в обществе, тормозит интеграционные процессы и, как следствие – приводит к экономическим кризисам предприятий, отдельных отраслей и национальных экономик. Автор подчеркивает, что в Украине и до пандемии основные проблемы существовали по причине отсутствия корпоративной культуры и этики, которые проявляются именно из-за эгоистических целей бизнеса. Это высокий уровень теневой экономики, асоциальные ценовые накрутки на продовольственные товары, корпоративные «войны», активный отток трудовых ресурсов. Обострилась проблема доступа бизнеса к инвестиционным ресурсам. Взаимное недоверие финансовых корпораций и нефинансового сектора экономики приводит к дефициту денежных активов как вкладываемых, так инвестируемых.
Исследование позволило предложить корпоративную модель совместного ведения бизнеса финансовой и нефинансовой корпораций – банком и промышленным предприятием. При этом рассматриваются варианты формирования такой модели: корпоративный – путем слияния финансово-промышленного капитала и организационный – путем формирования вертикального кластера.
Авторские предложения имеют практическое значение, поскольку позволят частично решить проблемы инвестирования в развитие промышленных корпораций, минимизируют отрицательное влияние возрастающего экономического эгоизма на кризисные явления в национальной экономике Украины.

Azərbaycanın neftqazçıxarma sənayesində qiymət problemləri
Authors:   DES, Professor, Hajizadeh Elshan
Published: December 2020

Dünya iqtisadiyyatında neft amilinin rolu getdikcə artmağa meyl edir. Ona görə də, xam neftin qiyməti müasir mərhələdə diqqəti cəlb edən problemlərdən biri olaraq qalır. Təsadüfi deyildir ki, neft hasilatında aparıcı rola malik olan şərq ölkələri özləri arasında bir qurum yaradaraq neftin əsas istehlakçılarının təzyiqlərinə baxmayaraq, bu strateji məhsulun istehsalı və qiyməti məsələsində vahid bir mövqedən çıxış edirlər. Qeyd edək ki, bu kimi məsələlər son dövrlərə qədər respublika iqtisadiyyatı üçün o qədər də prinsipial əhəmiyyət kəsb etmirdi, çünki keçmiş SSRİ-də neft və digər mineral sərvətlərin ixracı mərkəzi dövlətin əlində cəmləşmişdi. Keçmiş sərt mərkəzləşdirilmiş planlaşma şəraitində qiymətin əmələ gəlməsi məsələsi ayrı-ayrı mərhələlərdə iqtisadi siyasətin mühm istiqaməti sayılsa da, onun həlli iqtisadi sistemdəki çatışmamazlıqlar, iqtisadi münasibətlərin xarakterindən asılı olaraq məhdudlaşırdı. Planlı təsərrüfat sistemi şəraitində bu cür hallar, adi bir xarakter alırdı, yəni bütün imkanlarına görə rentabelli olan bu və ya digər sahə mərkəzləşdirilmiş planlaşma və maliyyələşmənin tələblərini ödəmək məqsədinə görə zərərli bir sahəyə çevrilirdi. Belə sahələrdən biri də neft-qazçıxarma sənayesi idi. Ölkənin valyuta gətirən ən mühüm sahələrindən biri olan neft-qazçıxarma sənayesində qiymət sistemi elə qurulmuşdu ki, guya bu sahə öz xərclərini ödəmək imkanlarına malik deyildir və sahə dotasiya ilə işləyirdi. Ona görə də respublikamız öz müstəqilliyini əldə etdikdən sonra neft-qazçıxarma sənayesində qiymət, istehsal xərcləri məsələləri kəskin bir problem kimi ortaya çıxdı. Problemin ciddiliyi bir də ondan irəli gəlirdi ki, keçmiş İttifaqda sahənin maliyyələşdirilməsi məsələsi artıq qeyri-mümkün idi, respublika öz imkanları hesabına sahənin inkişafına maliyyə vəsaitləri tapmalı idi. Neft-qazçıxarma müəssisələrinin maliyyə vəziyyətini təhlil edərkən belə bir obyektiv nəticə çıxarılırdı: mövcud iqtisadi və maddi həvəsləndirmə sistemi hasilatı sabit saxlamağa, quyu fondundan səmərəli istifadə etməyə xidmət etmir. Belə ki, neftin hasilatında çəkilən xərclər ilə neftin satış qiymətinin arasında bir uçurum yaranmışdır.
İqtisadiyyatın enerji təminatının yaxşılaşdırılmasında prioritet verilən istiqamətlər
Authors:   DES, Professor, Hajizadeh Elshan
Published: December 2020

Son illərdə Azərbaycanda elektrik enerjisi istehsalında müsbət meyilli dinamizm müşahidə olunur. Belə ki, 1997-ci ildə 16,7, 1998-ci ildə 17,9, 1999-cu ildə 18,1 milyard kvt/saat elektrik enerjisi istehsal edilmişdir. Enerji istehsalında orta göstəricilərdə Su Elektrik Stansiyaları-(SES) 9-11, İES-lər 75-87% bölgüyə malikdirlər. 18 milyard kvt elektrik enerjisinin istehsalı üçün Azərbaycan üzrə qəbul edilmiş normalara müvafiq olaraq 6,5-6,8 milyon ton şərti yanacaq tələb olunur ki, bunun da 10%-dən çoxu istilik enerjisinin payına düşür. 1999-cu ildə respublikada enerji istehsalında orta hesabla 4,4-4,6 milyon ton mazut, 1,7-2 milyard kubmetr qaz məsrəf edilmişdir. Bununla belə, ölkədə elektrik enerjisinin verilməsində mövcud gərginliklər davam edir. Xüsusilə 2000-ci ilin əvvələrində əhaliyə elektrik enerjisinin verilməsində böhran təzahüru müşahidə olunmuşdur. İstehsalçılar bunu mazut çatışmamazlığı ilə izah etmişlər. Lakin statistik məlumatlara diqqət yetirdikdə, respublikada elektrik enerjisi hasilatı üçün kifayət miqdarda mazut istehsal edildiyi, İES-lərin müvafiq normaya uyğun təbii qazla təmin olunduğu nəzərə çarpır. Fikrimizcə, energetik böhran təzahürünün təhlili ölkənin elektrik enerjisi istehsalı kompleksinin iqtisadi-texnoloji strukturu kompleksində daha səmərəli istiqamət alar.

Authors: Sánchez Gadvay Andrea Estefanny
Published: December 2020

Se realizó un estudio con diseño cuantitativo, observacional descriptivo; cuya población de estudio estuvo constituida por 142 pacientes de sexo femenino, diagnosticadas con cáncer de mama en la Unidad Oncológica Solca-Chimborazo, durante el período 2014-2019; con el objetivo de describir el tratamiento fisioterapéutico en ese contexto de investigación. Los datos fueron recolectados a partir de las respectivas historias clínicas. A partir de 2015, se observó un predominio de pacientes adultos con edades comprendidas entre 36 y 65 años. De las 142 pacientes que conformaron la población estudiada, solo 5 desarrollaron linfedema posquirúrgico. La mayoría de las pacientes incluidas en el estudio fueron intervenidas quirúrgicamente (65); 59 de las cuales recibieron tratamiento de drenaje linfático manual. Entre la población elegida en la Unidad Oncológica de Solca-Chimborazo se evidenció que la aplicación de terapia de rehabilitación mediante drenaje linfático manual posquirúrgico reduce la posibilidad de aparición de linfedema a largo plazo.

A finales de 2019 una nueva cepa de coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) ocasiona una notable crisis mundial. Los esfuerzos del personal sanitario se han centrado en conocer la novel enfermedad y buscar la manera de frenar las curvas de contagio para en un futuro contar con inmunidad por vacunas. La inmunidad ante la primoinfección mediada por Linfocitos B ha reportado pérdida de inmunoglobulinas en cuestión de semanas. Estas características en el genotipo de la enfermedad abren la posibilidad de reinfección por cepas distintas. Contados reportes a nivel mundial describen reinfección, los que tuvieron curso clínico leve al determinar algún factor protector luego de la primoinfección. La real posibilidad de volver a enfermarse por COVID-19 enciende las alarmas sobre la respuesta en el control de la pandemia, con las vacunas que están cerca de expenderse y representa un nuevo campo de estudio en la presente emergencia sanitaria.
Poshumanisme dalam Alkitab: Sebuah Renungan Biblis di Masa Covid-19
Authors: Setio Robert
Published: December 2020

Anthropocentrism has received many challenges since the publication of the famous article by Lynn White, Jr. in 1967. Yet, since then there has been no significant changes with regard to human attitude towards nature. Human beings still perceive nature as their tool whose existence is to serve their own interests. When the COVID-19 pandemic hits the world, the anthropocentrism is once again challenged. It should be a good opportunity to change the anthropocentrism. The novel corona virus has made people look powerless. It is just a tiny thing, but it has caused a great impact on human life. Despite the fact that the virus often outsmarts human beings, there is no sign that human beings want to admit their weakness. Through reading some biblical stories: the creation of human beings, the naming of animals, Job and the lamb in the Book of Revelation this article wants to deconstruct the view that sees human beings as superior to others in nature. This reading will use posthumanism as theory. It will allow us to see in the stories that human can be subjugated to animals. AbstrakPandangan antroposentrisme telah digugat sejak kemunculan artikel Lynn White, Jr. di tahun 1967. Tetapi sejak itu belum ada perubahan yang signifikan. Manusia masih menempatkan alam sebagai sarana untuk meraih kepentingan dirinya. Ketika pandemi COVID-19 melanda dunia, pandangan antroposentrisme kembali ditantang. Seharusnya ini menjadi kesempatan yang baik bagi manusia untuk mengubah pandangannya itu. Virus corona baru telah membuat manusia kalang kabut. Kehebatan manusia menjadi tidak berarti ketika menghadapi virus yang kecil dan tidak kelihatan itu. Tetapi bukannya menyadari akan kelemahan dirinya dan bersedia membuka diri terhadap kekuatan alam, manusia malah berupaya sedemikian rupa untuk meng-atas-i virus itu. Melalui pembacaan terhadap kisah-kisah Alkitab: penciptaan manusia, Ayub dan Wahyu, tulisan ini akan mendekonstruksi pola pikir yang mengistimewakan manusia di hadapan makhluk lainnya. Teori yang digunakan untuk menafsirkan Alkitab itu adalah poshumanisme. Poshumanisme melihat kedudukan manusia tidak lebih besar daripada makhluk-makhluk lainnya. Kebesaran binatang di hadapan manusia akan terlihat ketika kisah-kisah Alkitab itu dibaca dengan memakai teori poshumanisme.
9. Sınıf Coğrafya Ders Kitabında Yer Alan Metinlerin Okunabilirlik Düzeyinin İncelenmesi
Authors: YILAR Murat Bayram
Published: December 2020

Ders kitapları, eğitim-öğretim ortamlarında en yaygın ve en sık kullanılan materyallerden biri olduğu için titiz bir hazırlanma süreci sonunda belli başlı bazı özellikleri taşıması gerekir. Bunlardan biri de ders kitaplarının okunabilirliğinin öğrenci seviyesine uygun olmasıdır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, ortaöğretim 9. sınıf coğrafya ders kitabının okunabilirlik formülleriyle değerlendirilerek hedef öğrencilerin yaş seviyesine uygun olup olmadığını tespit etmektir. Araştırma, doküman incelemesine dayalı betimsel bir çalışma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmada, 2017’de güncellenip askıya çıkan Coğrafya Dersi Öğretim Programı’na uygun olarak hazırlanan ve 2017-2018 eğitim-öğretim yılından itibaren tüm Türkiye’de uygulanmaya başlanan 9. sınıf coğrafya ders kitabından rastgele seçilen metinlerin okunabilirlik düzeyleri ölçülmüştür. Metinlerin analizinde Statistical Measurement of Gobbledygook (SMOG) okunabilirlik formülü ile Ateşman (1997) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Flesch okunabilirlik formülü kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda her iki formülden elde edilen bulguların tutarlı olmadığı görülmüştür. Buna göre SMOG okunabilirlik formülünden elde edilen sonuçlar, ders kitabının hedef kitle öğrencilerinin okuma yaşından yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Ateşman’ın uyarladığı formülden elde edilen sonuçlara göre ise bahsi geçen ders kitabının ortalama okunabilme seviyesinin kolay olduğu belirlenmiştir.

The rapid development of new media gives an impact on almost every corner of people’s life. This development also opens the opportunity to the missionaries to use social media as a medium to deliver Islamic propagation. Hence, the transformation occurs in the method of Islamic propagation delivery among the missionaries who started using social media, especially Facebook. This is because social media is suitable as a compliment and an alternative medium to the da’wah medium of the existing. However, the use of social media in delivering the message of Islamic da’wah should be carried out prudently and wisely to different audiences. Accordingly, this research aims to identify the category of the message, the function of the messages, and the delivery strategy of Islamic propagation through the medium of Facebook of five elected missionaries. Five Facebook pages have been chosen and analyzed using the thematic analysis with NVivo software. The theme of this study has been prepared in advance because this research involves the knowledge related to the Islamic laws that have been established by the tenets of Islam. The theoretical framework of this study is built base on the Framing Theory. The results obtained showed that the majority of the messages displayed in the selected Facebook pages categorized as religious missionaries. The function to encourage charity is a message that often discussed in the analyzed entry. However, the strategy of choice for missionaries to be applied on their Facebook page is the writing that has the effect of information. The findings can be referred to the missionaries and also to the government agencies and NGOs in practicing and strategizing before the establishment of Islamic missionary message is disseminated to the public. Utilizing an accurate delivery strategy will be more appealing and provide a positive impact on society.
