Published: November 2023

In many studies, designers' sources of inspiration have been investigated, the fact that they created new examples under the influence of which creative source was analyzed on the basis of real examples. In the course of research, it is revealed that, especially architectural art is one of the main sources of creativity in the creation of clothing models. In a broad sense, architectural-composition structure is the correct arrangement of the ratio of its elements. Here the unity and integrity between content and form is thoroughly defined. In both architecture and clothing, the rhythmic structure of forms is expressed in proportions, proportions, the choice of color associations, and the solution of artistic design as an ornamental composition. Therefore, architectural connection is considered the main means of expression in the creation of costume art. A bright example of the possibilities of such structures were earlier architectural monuments designed in the majestic Gothic style, which could create a real breakthrough in ideas.

Authors: Pichurin Valerii , Umerenko Viktor , Dutko Taras
Published: November 2023

In this article, research provides the results of theoretical prerequisites for the formation of individual's structural components in the area of physical education. The authors believe that such prerequisites relate to the scientific achievements made by representatives of several scientific branches who have studied the mutual impact of the human body and mind. Within this context, there are considered such aspects as: the treatment to the issue of the physical in human beings through philosophy, psychoanalysis, the body-based approach in psychology, the psychosomatic approach in medicine, the psychology of development, and body-oriented psychotherapy. The authors consider that the results of the research in these areas provide evidence for specialists of physical education to assume that it is possible to form components of the mental structure through the influence on the human body (via physical exercises).

Authors: Okinyi Naomy Kemunto , Kwendo Evans , Kiongera Fredrick N.
Published: November 2023

The study focused on the effect of pre-contracting procurement practices on the supply chain performance of road authorities in Kakamega County, Kenya. Implementing and adopting the procurement Contracting practices in public institutions have continuously faced challenges due to their complexity and lack of resources, which directly impact supply chain performance. Institutions are operating in a competitive business environment with many players, and massive changes are taking place daily to improve their performance. The key to optimal performance is understanding the contributions of pre-contracting procurement practices. The study covered three road authorities with regional offices in Kakamega County: Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Urban Road Authority (KURA), and Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). The study adopted system theory. The study employed the causal research method to explain the causes and effects of the variables. The target population was 48 respondents, comprised of supply chain officers, road officers, and account officers on the road authorities. A census method was employed in the study. Structured questionnaires were used as data collection instruments. Pilot testing was conducted in Vihiga County. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The data was presented using tables and figures. A Likert scale was used to determine how strongly variables agreed or disagreed with statements on a five-point scale. Regression analysis shows that pre-contracting procurement practice had no significant effect on supply chain performance in the road authorities of Kakamega County, Kenya (t = 0.605, P > 0.05). This means that road authorities in Kakamega County that effectively implement pre-contracting procurement practices are more likely to have high-performance supply chains. The findings of this objective indicated that pre-contracting had P 0.05 and contributed to 0.8% of the changes in supply chain performance. Therefore, according to the study, the institutions need to re-examine their procurement practices so as to capitalize on areas that improve supply chain performance.
Por que uma trabalhadora não pode ser atriz: desafios metodológicos para a análise de uma entrevista sobre um momento de “felicidade perfeita”
Authors: Batista Natália Cristina
Published: November 2023

Este artigo pretende fazer uma análise da entrevista temática realizada com Marina Euzébio, atriz da montagem O Último Carro, dirigida por João das Neves na cidade de São Paulo, em 1977. Esta peça foi a primeira no Brasil a mesclar atores profissionais com trabalhadores das classes populares em seu elenco, devido ao fato de que o seu roteiro narrava a história de um trem de periferia sem maquinista com passageiros oriundos das classes populares. Foram realizadas mais de 18 entrevistas com atores da montagem, dentre elas Marina Euzébio. Antes de entrar na montagem foi cozinheira informal em um hospital e talvez por isso a experiência tenha sido atípica para ela: horários flexíveis, carteira de trabalho assinada e reconhecimento pelo seu trabalho. Todo este contexto fez com que a sua inserção na montagem tivesse grande impacto em sua vida, o que pode ser percebido através do enaltecimento desse evento em sua narrativa. Permeada por expressões como “eu fui feliz”, “melhor coisa do mundo”, “eu amava”, “me realizei”, a entrevista é atravessada por sentimentos de gratidão por sua participação na montagem, pela sua carreira e por aquele momento do passado. Esta interpretação não remete apenas à narrativa construída, mas pode ser percebida no contato inicial, na escolha para o local da entrevista e na inclusão de toda a família nesse momento. A hipótese principal é que por se tratar de um evento único na vida de Euzébio, a entrevista se apresentou mais potente para a interpretação do indivíduo e não do espetáculo investigado. Eventos considerados marcantes para a trajetória do espetáculo não faziam parte do escopo memorialístico da ex-atriz. Diante desse cenário, pretende-se analisar as dificuldades metodológicas para exercer a arte da escuta e interpretar uma entrevista que trata de um momento de vida específico de um sujeito e parte dele para construir a narrativa sobre o passado, a compreensão do presente e a projeção do futuro.

Fios e tramas: O saber-fazer e a oralidade de fiandeiras e tecedeiras do Xixá
Authors: Pereira de Moraes Jordana , Nunes Martins de Lima Luana , Miranda Barbosa Raquel
Published: November 2023

Recentemente, em um momento em que passaram a coexistir o mundo avançado da tecnologia e da indústria e o mundo das tradições populares e do fazer artesanal, a noção de “referências culturais” introduziu a possibilidade de incluir sujeitos e grupos no debate sobre “novos patrimônios” e formas de preservação. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar, como referência cultural, as fi andeiras e tecedeiras do antigo Xixá (Itapuranga, GO), destacando o trabalho da memória e a preservação das técnicas da fi ação e da tecelagem artesanal no município. Como etapas metodológicas, realizamos: 1) revisão bibliográfi ca; 2) entrevistas com fi andeiras e tecedeiras, mediante a metodologia de identifi cação do Snowball (“Bola de Neve”) e o uso de técnicas da História Oral, cujo objetivo foi retratar e registrar as narrativas de histórias de vida e memórias individuais e coletivas acerca do saber-fazer; 3) análise de fotografi as registradas durante as pesquisas de campo, inserindo-as no campo das visualidades. Consideramos que, mais do que um patrimônio a ser valorizado e inventariado, a fi ação e a tecelagem artesanal é um “saber-fazer” local aser reintroduzido e fortalecido entre a população local como instrumento potencializador da economia solidária.

The six rights of how and when to test for soil C saturation
Authors: Six Johan , Doetterl Sebastian , Laub Moritz , Müller Claude Raoul , Van de Broek Marijn
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The concept of soil organic carbon (SOC) saturation emerged a bit more than 2 decades ago as our mechanistic understanding of SOC stabilization increased. Recently, the further testing of the concept across a wide range of soil types and environments has led some people to challenge the fundamentals of soil C saturation. Here, we argue that to test the concept, one should pay attention to 6 fundamental principles or rights (R’s): the right measures, the right units, the right fractionation method, the right soil type, the right mineralogy, the right saturation level. Once we take care of those 6 rights across studies, we find a maximum of C stabilized by minerals and estimate based on current data available that this maximum stabilization is around 82 ± 4 g C kg-1 silt+clay for 2:1 clay dominated soils while most likely only around 46 ± 4 g C kg-1 silt+clay for 1:1 clay dominated soils. These estimates can be further improved using more data, especially for different mineralogies across varying environmental conditions. However, the bigger challenge is on how and which C sequestration strategies to implement in order to effectively reach this 82/46 g C kg-1 silt+clay in soils across the globe. In recent years, several studies (e.g., Begill et al. 2023; Salonen et al. 2023) have questioned the concept of soil carbon (C) saturation, i.e., organic C stabilized by soil minerals (Hassink, 1997; Six et al. 2002). Here, we want to draw attention to six fundamentals that we think one should be cognizant about when “testing” and “questioning” soil C saturation.

Pengembangan Soft Skills Guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen Melalui Pembacaan Reflektif 2 Timotius 4:5 di Era Disrupsi
Authors: Sirait Jannes Eduard
Published: November 2023

The era of disruption caused the methods and approaches to teaching Christian Religious Education students to be different. Special soft skills are needed so students can accept God's Word's message. However, some soft skills possessed by teachers are contrary to the truth of God's Word. Therefore, it is necessary to revitalize the soft skills of Christian Religious Education teachers that are relevant to students' thinking in the era of disruption but still based on the Word of God. This study aims to explain the soft skills of Christian religion teachers in carrying out their vocation as educators. The main reason is that changing times require educators with good soft skills. However, the problem is that Christian religion teachers still need to understand these skills based on the message of 2 Timothy 4:5. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a hermeneutic approach. The study results show that 2 Timothy 4:5 clearly explains soft skills and is very relevant for teachers in education. Christian religious teachers must use these soft skills to adapt to changing times. Soft skills improvement, which includes interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, must be continuously developed.

Published: November 2023

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has been known to be related closely to genetic factors. Higher prevalence of AIS among individuals with family history of scoliosis suggesting critical roles of genetic in the pathogenesis of AIS. However, evidence also suggested that environmental factors such as latitude and sun exposure also play a critical role in the pathogenesis of the disease. While genetic factors played an important role in the occurrence of AIS, environmental factors are more likely to affect the progression of the disease. Although the pathogenesis of AIS remains elusive, current knowledge suggests that genetic factors and its interaction with environmental factors are crucial in the development of the disease, explaining differences in clinical characteristics of AIS across the globe. The aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge of genetic and environmental factors contributing to AIS and their interactions.
Total knee arthroplasty: do newer CR implants yield better results? A single center prospective study
Authors: KEMPENAERS K , VAN BEEK N , LAUWERS R , TENGROOTENHUYSEN M
Published: November 2023

The aim of this study was to compare whether the newest TKA prosthesis (Persona) gives improved clinical outcomes due its more anatomical design in comparison to older prostheses (balanSys). This study included a total of 89 patients planned for TKA from June 2018 to September 2019. Outcomes such as Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), range of motion (ROM), numeric pain rating scale (NRS), analgesics and alignment were recorded next to patient characteristics and complications. Our results showed a significant improvement in NRS, ROM and functional scores postoperatively compared to preoperatively for both the Persona and the balanSys implants. Although the flexion ROM for the Persona group was higher at 6 and 12 months postoperative compared to the balanSys, this was mainly a regaining of the preoperative ROM. Throughout all timepoints, there were no statistically significant differences observed in NSAID and opioid usage between the balanSys and Persona groups. Both implants are safe and efficient to use in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Although Persona had an improved postoperative flexion, this did not have an impact on any of the patient-reported outcomes.

Published: November 2023

Clavicle fractures are one of the most common injuries in cyclists and motocross riders. Although a fast return to sport is imperative for athletes, there is only limited literature on short-term functional outcomes after open reduction internal fixation of a clavicle fracture in a homogenous group of athletes. The aim of this study is to evaluate early (first 6 weeks) functional outcomes, return to sports and complications of elite or high-level recreational (± 8000 km per year) cyclists and motocross riders after surgical treatment of a midshaft clavicle fracture. The main study parameters were Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDash); QuickDash sports module, pain in rest and movement (Numeric Pain Rating Score) and time to return to sports (training indoor/outdoor and competition). All parameters were taken pre-operatively and at 2/4/6/12/24 weeks post-operative. A total of 34 cyclists (6 LTFU) and 9 motocross riders (2 LTFU) were included at baseline. A significant decrease in Quick dash scores between preoperative (33 ± 1.2) and 2 weeks PO (21.5 ± 1.2) and between 2 and 4 weeks PO (16.1 ± 1.3) was found for cyclists. The QuickDash scores of the motocross riders statistically improvement from preoperative (31.6 ± 3.3) to 6 weeks PO (14.1 ± 3.3). NRS score in rest for cyclists decreased significantly from 3.6 ± 0.2 to 1.0 ± 0.2 after two weeks. After 4 weeks, 93% of cyclists and 57% of motocross riders were training outside. After 6 weeks, 56% of cyclists and 57% of motocross riders had returned to competition. Our results show that early surgical treatment of midshaft clavicle fractures in elite cyclists and motocross riders is a safe method with few complications and good functional outcomes.
Correlation of anthropometric parameters with semitendinosus tendon length in anterior cruciate ligament injured patients
Authors: BABALOLA O.R. , AKINYEMI B.A.
Published: November 2023

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery is now a common procedure performed following a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament. The length of the harvested hamstring tendon is critical to the outcome of the surgery as it may influence the final length and thickness of the graft. The goal of this study was to attempt to establish a relation- ship between the height, weight and body mass index and the harvested length of the semitendinosus tendon of patients having ACLR surgery. This was a retrospective study. The weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) of patients for primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were noted. The average length of the tendon was noted. The correla- tion between each of these anthropometric parameters and the tendon length was estimated. The range of values for the semitendinosus length, height and weight in males and females respectively were 24-39cm (31.26 +/- 2.93) and 26-35cm (29.26 +/- 2.08); 1.6-1.96 m and 1.65-1.8m; and 52-110kg and 60-106kg. Only the height revealed a moderate correlation with the length of the harvested tendon among the male patients. Linear regression analyses yielded the equation Sem- itendinosus tendon length = 23.25xheight-10.28 at a p-value of 0.002. Patient height could be predictive of the length of the harvested semitendinosus tendon.

A oxidação lipídica em carne de frango e o impacto da adição de sálvia (Salvia officinalis, L.) e de alho (Allium sativum, L.) como antioxidantes naturais
Authors: Mariutti Lilian Regina Barros , Bragagnolo Neura
Published: November 2023

A manutenção da qualidade de um alimento por um período prolongado requer o uso de antioxidantes. Porém, devido a crescente preocupação em adquirir hábitos alimentares saudáveis e ao interesse em consumir produtos alimentícios sem aditivos sintéticos, torna-se necessária a pesquisa de fontes de antioxidantes naturais, como a sálvia e o alho, para minimizar a oxidação lipídica. A carne de frango é um alimento altamente susceptível à oxidação lipídica em função do elevado teor de ácidos graxos insaturados na sua composição. A formação de óxidos de colesterol e a degradação de ácidos graxos, principalmente dos poli-insaturados, somada a formação de compostos voláteis secundários oriundos da oxidação lipídica, possuem um papel de destaque entre os fatores responsáveis pela perda de qualidade e das características nutricionais causadas tanto pelo processamento térmico ou sob alta pressão quanto pelas alterações decorrentes do armazenamento da carne de frango. Além disso, o consumo de lipídios, principalmente de lipídios oxidados, tem sido alvo de constante investigação pela área da saúde em vista da alta correlação entre a ingestão destes compostos e o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares e de outras doenças crônicas não transmissíveis.

Published: November 2023

Alguns micro-organismos causadores de infecções e veiculados por alimentos industrializados são removidos dos mesmos por tratamento térmico ou acidificação, enquanto outros são de difícil eliminação e requerem o uso de conservantes. Assim, acidificou-se meio de cultura TSA (Tripticase-Soja-Agar) com ácido cítrico (pH 3,5 e 5) e acrescentou-se ao mesmo quantidades específicas de metabissulfito de sódio (MBS), benzoato de sódio (BS) e sorbato de potássio (SP). Após inoculação com suspensões aquosas (100μL = 104 células) de Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella Enteritidis e S. Typhimurium, e incubação por 24-72 h, mensurou-se o número de unidades formadoras de colônias (UFC) nos cultivos, visando obter a concentração mínima de cada conservante capaz de inibir (CIM) os isolados estudados in vitro e fornecer subsídios para sua utilização industrial em quantidades apropriadas. B. cereus foi o isolado mais suscetível a MBS, BS e SP (respectivamente 75, 275 e 750 mg.L-1), seguido por E. coli (respectivamente 75, 350 e 1000mg.L-1). Os isolados de Salmonella foram os mais resistentes, sendo seu crescimento completamente inibido por 1000 mg BS.L-1, mas apenas reduzido por 1250 mg SP.L-1. MBS inibiu totalmente S. Typhimurium a75 mg.L-1 e S. Enteritidis a 200 mg.L-1.

Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Golubović-Ilić Irena , Ćirković-Miladinović Ivana , Vukićević Nataša
Published: November 2023

The goal of the research was to determine what students praise and value about university teachers during distance learning, i.e. what qualities, according to students, characterize effective online teachers. By combining a quantitative and qualitative approach to research, we determined which teachers’ qualities students highlighted as positive, examined the shortcomings in the work of teachers that students noticed in certain academic subjects, and determined differences in the evaluation of the quality of teacher work in relation to the level of study. The research included a total of 965 students, of which 674 were undergraduate students and 291 were students in master’s academic studies. The paper used a descriptive-analytical method, a survey technique and a questionnaire for student evaluation of the quality of the teacher’s work. The results of the research showed that students of both study levels during distance learning positively value the ways teachers treat them – appreciation, respect, understanding, investing extra effort when explaining content, fairness, correctness and a positive atmosphere in classes. In addition, students in master’s studies especially appreciate discussion that enables them to discuss certain topics and give different opinions in class. Despite certain limitations of the study, the results overall suggest that students value and rank certain characteristics of teachers in an almost identical way regardless of whether it is an online or a face-to-face class.

The red propolis is a bee product with great biotechnological potential due to its antimicrobial and therapeutic properties. The present study used technological mapping to investigate the antimicrobial activities of red propolis in patents deposited in Brazil (INPI) and in international databases such as the European Patent Office (Espacenet) and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The results indicated that Brazil holds the highest number of patents related to red propolis, and propolis produced in Alagoas was the most cited. Class A61K was the most frequent, suggesting strong therapeutic potential, especially in dental applications. Public universities were the main patent depositors, with institutions in Alagoas standing out. The data also revealed potential for patent deposits in areas such as agriculture and new pharmaceutical applications, including the production of controlled-release devices and the synthesis of nanomaterials. Red propolis is a promising raw material for the development of products with antimicrobial activity, and the deposited patents indicate a growing interest in exploring its properties in various areas, including the pharmaceutical industry and agriculture.

This research aims to determine the formulation of solid rabbit fertilizer with the addition of the right type of manure and dolomite fertilizer on the growth and production of chili plants. This research is a factorial experiment with a basic design of Randomized Block Design with 2 factors tested. The first factor is additional manure treatment in solid rabbit manure with 3 levels: K1 = rabbit manure (30 tons ha-1), K2 = rabbit manure + chicken manure (15 tons ha-1 + 15 tons ha-1 ),   K3 = rabbit manure + cow manure (15 tons ha-1 + 15 tons ha-1) and the second factor is dolomite fertilizer dose with 4 levels: D0= 0 kg ha-1, D1= 240 kg ha-1, D2= 480 kg ha-1, D3= 720 kg ha-1. The interaction of solid rabbit fertilizer formulation with the addition of manure (K) and dolomite fertilizer (D) had no significant effect (P>0.05) on all observed variables.
Examining Collaborative Business Process Modeling Techniques
Authors: Hao Xia
Published: November 2023

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the recognition and use of Business Process Management (BPM) in both academic research and practical applications. The use of innovative ICT plays a crucial role in efficacy enhancement and efficiency of corporate collaboration and the management of inter-organizational business processes. Within this particular context, it is essential for organizations that engage in cooperation to possess a collective comprehension of their internal processes, as well as those of their collaborating partners. Additionally, they must also possess an awareness of the evolving inter-organizational process structures that may arise. To foster a collective comprehension, the use of collaborative modeling might prove to be a valuable strategy. The scope of business processes extends to include activities that go outside the confines of a company, hence necessitating the adoption of process of modelling collaborative business. The practice of BPM involves several intricate iterations and extensive collaboration between business analysts and domain experts. Processes of collaborative business serve as enablers for businesses to cultivate adaptable and dynamic partnerships, allowing them to effectively respond to changing circumstances and maintain competitiveness within the global market. The primary objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive examination of contemporary cBPM methodologies.
A Review of Comprehensive and Ethical Utilization of the Worlds Biomass Resources
Authors: Fernandez Garcia
Published: November 2023

In conventional practice, unprocessed biomass resources are transported to biorefineries where they undergo preprocessing to become feedstock before undergoing conversion into various products. The constant supply of biomass to biorefinery cannot be achieved on a just-in-time basis due to the fact that various forms of biomaterials, such as energy crops, logging residue, and agricultural residue, are harvested based on their cycle of development and optimum harvesting timeframe. Biomaterials are typically stored and subsequently transported to biorefineries on an as-needed basis. The current approach has resulted in various challenges concerning logistics, biomass degradation caused by fire and microorganisms, and irregular quality of feedstock as a result of the changing characteristics of the delivered biomass materials. This has been observed through previous encounters. The aforementioned factors have resulted in elevated feedstock expenses, reduced processing capacity, and diminished product output for biorefineries. The present study introduces a novel approach to tackle the challenges associated with conventional methods of biomass feedstock procurement, retention, and preliminary processing, as discussed earlier. This strategy comprises three fundamental elements: firstly, the conservation and preparation of biomass throughout its storage; secondly, the incorporation of all biomass components, even those typically deemed as refuse or impurities; and thirdly, the optimization of the worth of each component. The implementation of this novel methodology involves the establishment of feedstock preprocessing depots in close proximity to the sources of biomass production
Learning with Generative Artificial Intelligence Within a Network of Co-Regulation
Authors: Lodge Jason M. , De Barba Paula , Broadbent Jaclyn
Published: November 2023

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has created legitimate concerns surrounding academic integrity and the ease with which such technologies might lead to cheating in assessment, in particular. However, fixating solely on potential misconduct is overshadowing a more profound, transformative interaction between learners and machines. This commentary article delves into the relationship between students and AI, aiming to highlight the need for revised pedagogical strategies in the AI age. We argue that the much-discussed approaches that prioritise AI literacy or augmented critical thinking might be inadequate. Instead, we contend that a more holistic approach emphasising self-regulated learning (SRL) and co-regulation of learning is needed. SRL promotes autonomy, adaptability, and a deeper understanding, qualities indispensable for navigating the intricacies of AI-enhanced learning environments. Furthermore, we introduce the notion of a network of co-regulation, which underscores the intertwined learning processes between humans and machines. By positioning the self at the core of this network, we emphasise the indispensable role of individual agency in steering productive human-AI educational interactions. Our contention is that by fostering SRL and understanding co-regulated dynamics, educators can better equip learners for an interconnected AI-driven world.
Exploring disruption through the lens of an adapted Five Senses Framework

Published: November 2023

This quasi-experimental research design surveyed 688 students through a self-administered online survey to specifically explore relations between student self-assessed capabilities (Lizzio Five Senses, 2006), overall program satisfaction, withdrawal behaviours, demographics and year of study in their university courses during an emergency COVID-19 lockdown experience. Importantly, this research offers a more nuanced view of the Five Senses and confirms their importance as a university strategy for student success. These findings offer further granularity into the complex set of relations that impact decisions around satisfaction, persistence, and capability in higher education and support previous research by Lizzio and Wilson (2008) indicating students’ perceptions of purpose is the strongest predictor of satisfaction, lower anxiety and lower course withdrawal. Ultimately, the paper suggests as higher education looks towards future possible disruptions due to climate, health or political realities, equipping and fostering a strong sense of purpose, connectedness, and resourcefulness as well as sense of capability and academic culture will buffer and support students to persevere. In addition, this research suggests that those students who may have weak associations with these senses merit additional attention.

A study was conducted to analyze the market structure and determinants of turmeric marketing in the Onitsha agricultural zone of Anambra State, Nigeria. The research aimed to understand the socioeconomic characteristics, market structure, factors influencing net marketing income, and constraints in turmeric marketing. The sample consisted of 160 intermediaries, including 80 wholesalers and 80 retailers, selected using multistage and random sampling methods. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Gini coefficient, multiple regression, and relative index techniques. The findings revealed a male dominance in the turmeric market, particularly among wholesalers, where 60.00% of marketers were men. This indicates gender sensitivity within the market at various levels. The market structure analysis showed Gini coefficients of 0.6866 and 0.7495 for wholesalers and retailers, respectively. These coefficients suggest a high level of income inequality in terms of sales margin and a concentration of sales among a small group of marketers, indicating the presence of imperfect competition in the market. Among the eleven independent variables included in the analysis, age, education, source of finance, and engagement in other business activities significantly influenced the net marketing income of wholesalers. At the retail level, household size, gender, engagement in other business activities, marketing experience, and product price were identified as factors influencing net marketing income. The constraints analysis revealed that online marketing, transportation costs, taxes, and local government charges were perceived as the main constraints at the wholesale level. On the retail level, the constraints were online marketing, irregular market days, and insufficient start-up capital. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the government and relevant agencies reduce taxes and charges imposed on marketers to alleviate their burden. Additionally, addressing the poor condition of roads is necessary for proper marketing in the region.
