Authors: Sudrajat Oki , Wati Lela Nurlaela , Soma Abdul Mukti
Published: July 2024

Rapid development in the perfume industry has been accompanied by accelerated digitalization, which was unexpected by most Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Many MSMEs in this sector experience problems with access and knowledge of digital technology, especially in digital marketing and e-payment. Most MSME players are still learning and are slow to adopt digitalization in their perfume business. This research aims to analyze the influence of digital marketing, e-payment and digital orientation on the performance of perfume MSMEs in West Java Province. A sample of 100 respondents, company owners or managers, was selected using stratified sampling. Data analysis uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results show that digital marketing and digital orientation have a positive and significant effect on MSME performance, while e-payment does not have a significant effect. Digital orientation also negatively and insignificantly moderates the influence of digital marketing and e-payment on MSME performance. Perfume MSMEs are advised to consider the role of digital orientation and optimize digital marketing strategies to improve their business performance.

Authors: Luthfihani Chindy Anggraeni , Tin Se
Published: July 2024

Information about a company's cash flow and net income is useful for readers of financial statements, especially investors, as a basis for analysing the company's ability to create profits because investors must see the stock price when making an investment. Based on these considerations, this study aims to examine the effect of cash flow and net income on stock prices in mining companies in Indonesia. The population of this study consisted of 19 companies, and a sample of 36 financial records from three coal mining companies was used using a purposive sampling technique. The author uses a multiple linear regression analysis method. The results showed that net income significantly affects stock prices, while cash flow has no significant effect individually. However, when considered together, both cash flow and net income influence stock prices. This study provides valuable insights for future investors and researchers by recommending sample expansion, a more in-depth literature review, and diverse research methods.

Nonlinear nanophotonics based on graphene oxide films
Authors: Moss David
Published: July 2024

Integrated photonic devices operating via optical nonlinearities offer a powerful solution for all-optical information processing, yielding processing speeds that are well beyond that of electronic processing as well as providing the added benefits of compact footprint, high stability, high scalability, and small power consumption. The increasing demand for high-performance nonlinear integrated photonic devices has facilitated the hybrid integration of novel materials to address the limitations of existing integrated photonic platforms, such as strong nonlinear optical absorption or an inadequate optical nonlinearity. Recently, graphene oxide (GO), with its large optical nonlinearity, high flexibility in altering its properties, and facile fabrication processes, has attracted significant attention, enabling many hybrid nonlinear integrated photonic devices with improved performance and novel capabilities. This paper reviews the applications of GO to nonlinear integrated photonics. First, an overview of GO’s optical properties and the fabrication technologies needed for its on-chip integration is provided. Next, the state-of-the-art GO nonlinear integrated photonic devices are reviewed, together with comparisons of the nonlinear optical performance of different integrated platforms incorporating GO. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of this field are discussed.
Assessing Competencies of Fintech Employees: Development and Validation of a Competency Model and Assessment Scale
Authors: Gong Yaping , Khan Muhammad Aamir , TAM Kar Yan
Published: July 2024

Fintech, which refers to various technologies (e.g., apps and software) that improve the delivery and/or use of financial activities, is increasingly applied in the financial services industry. However, little is known about the competencies of employees working with fintech (hereafter, ‘fintech employees’). We developed a competency model for fintech employees and then generated and validated instruments for assessing their competencies. In Study 1, we developed a competency model with 13 competencies for fintech employees through interviews and a survey. In Study 2, we followed the standard scale development process (i.e., item generation, content validity assessment, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and predictive validity assessment) to develop and validate items for assessing seven selected competencies. In Study 3, we checked the predictive validity of these competencies by testing our hypotheses. In general, these competencies predicted different aspects of fintech employee performance outcomes. Overall, we demonstrated the reliability, validity, and incremental predictive validity of the seven competencies.

Learned Insignificance of Credibility Signs
Authors: Kainz Viktoria , Sulik Justin , Utz Sonja , Enßlin Torsten
Published: July 2024

A large part of how people learn about their shared world is via social information. However, in complex modern information ecosystems, it can be challenging to identify deception or filter out misinformation. This challenge is exacerbated by the existence of a dual-learning problem whereby: (1) People draw inferences about the world, given new social information; and simultaneously (2), they draw inferences about how credible various sources of information are, given social cues and previous knowledge. In this context, we investigate how social influence and individual cognitive processing interact to explain how one might loose the ability to reliably assess information. Crucially, we show how this happens even when individuals engage in rational belief updating and have access to objective cues of deception. Using an agent based model, the Reputation Game Simulation, we show that mere misinformation is not the problem: The dual-learning problem can be solved successfully with limited Bayesian reasoning, even in the presence of deceit. However, when some agents pursue additional non-epistemic strategies (e.g., flattering others or promoting themselves), other agents in their network may learn to discount objective cues of credibility. This is an emergent delusion-like state, wherein false beliefs resist correction by true incoming information. Further, we show how such delusion-like states can be rehabilitated when agents who had previously lost the ability to discern cues of credibility are put into new, healthy---though not necessarily honest---environments.Altogether, this suggests that correcting misinformation is not the optimal solution to epistemically toxic environments. Though difficult, socially-induced cognitive biases can be repaired in healthy environments, ones where cues of credibility can be re-learned in the absence of non-epistemic communication motives.
Willingness to Pay for Improved Solid Waste Management in Itahari, Sunsari, Nepal
Authors: Khadka Umesh
Published: July 2024

Solid waste management (SWM) is a widespread problem in urban areas of developed and underdeveloped countries. Unplanned urbanization, rapid population growth, and migration of people from rural to urban areas are the leading causes for the problem of SWM in the major cities of Nepal. Inadequate services for solid waste collection can lead to environmental problems, pollution, health risks, and economic burdens for the society. Understanding the willingness to pay (WTP) of residents for improved solid waste collection is crucial for deciding effective pricing policies and waste collection techniques. In this context, the main aim of the study is to examine the WTP for the services of improved SWM in the study area. Using simple random sampling method, 377 households were taken as a sample to estimate the WTP for SWM through the Contingent Valuation Model (CVM) and Tobit regression. A field survey was conducted to collect the required data and information related to the WTP of households through the structured questionnaire. The study found that 83.55 percent of respondents would pay for improved SWM services, and the willingness to pay varies from NRs. 50 to NRs.500 per month. Tobit regression results identified the factors influencing WTP for improved SWM in the study area. The factors of gender, ownership of the house, education, profession, income level, and service satisfaction are statistically significant in determining the WTP for SWM.

Authors: Dhakal Dubi Nanda
Published: July 2024

This paper presents a description of the serial verb construction (henceforth SVC) in three Tibetan languages- Gyalsumdo, Nubri and Tsum, spoken in Nepal focusing mainly on two verb constructions. The data is collected with the native speakers in different periods and analysed based on the contemporary literatures of SVC. In three selected languages, they share the same arguments (mainly the subject). Temporal and motion verbs are attested in the final position in an SVC in these languages. All of these languages have a closed set of verbs that appear as V2 in SVC. The ordering of most of the verbs participating in SVC is consistent in their occurrence. The three verb serialization is attested only in Nubri.
Improvement of Air Quality During Lockdown Period of COVID-19 Pandemic in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
Authors: Chidi Navin
Published: July 2024

The Kathmandu Valley is currently Nepal's most hazardous region for human health and environmental sustainability because of increased air pollution and high particulate matter levels. According to multiple studies and observations, Nepal's urban districts saw an improvement in air quality during the COVID-19 lockdown. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a standard method of informing the public about air pollution levels. The AQI is based on the quantitative value of pollutants' constituent parts, such as particulate matter (PM). Thus, the focus of this study was on how the AQI values change in the Ratna Park suburb of the Kathmandu district in the Kathmandu Valley and how those fluctuations are related to lockdown and non-lockdown times during the COVID-19 pandemic and comparing them to identify crucial information’s. This study shows that during the lockdown, the air quality in the Kathmandu Valley dramatically improved, with average AQI values for PM2.5 and PM10 rising to 21.34 and 64.42 from 50.74 and 106.51, respectively. Furthermore, we investigate the positive correlation between relative humidity, a meteorological component, and air quality.

Authors: Aryal Bhagwan , Poudel Bhumidatta , Karki Jagadish , Bhandari Sriprasad
Published: July 2024

Background: The gap in public administration is exacerbated by ineffective communication, limiting accessibility, and hindering underrepresented groups. Conventional methods like press releases and meetings may not always effectively involve the public. Innovative participatory communication techniques can improve governance quality, strengthen constituent ties, and increase openness. This study examines local government communication methods with the public, revealing expectations for transparency, openness, and participation, identifying communication gaps, and exploring effective strategies for public-government communication.
Methods: The study utilized a mixed-methods approach, involving 315 citizens, plus 6 staff, elected members, and local intellectuals in Ward No. 10 of Budhanilkantha municipality, using surveys and interviews.
Results: While digital technology usage is moderate to high, fulfillment of public expectations for local government communication mechanisms was negative, with over 60% rating them negatively and 77.4% believing they were political. A majority of respondents (76.2%) received information from local governments or ward offices through social media, followed by man-to-man communication (54.6%) and mass media (52.7%). Ineffective communication can hinder citizen participation and challenge older adults and uneducated individuals. Key elements of successful communication include accuracy, efficiency, resourcefulness, immediate news flow, and technology use. Public recommendations include online feedback platforms, local government employees, and community outreach programs.
Conclusion: The public expects open communication, digital tools, transparency, and freedom of politics. To foster trust and engage the public, frequent meetings, online discussions, local personnel recruiting, community outreach, trust development, and customized interaction are necessary.
Novelty: The study could provide insights into a new approach to public-local government communication, emphasizing transparency, community concerns, and collaboration.

Stunting, or impaired growth in children, represents a serious and complex global health phenomenon. This article provides a general overview of stunting, encompassing definitions, risk factors, impacts, and prevention efforts. Stunting is closely linked to nutritional aspects, particularly during the first one thousand days of life, including the prenatal period and the first two years of a child's life. Major risk factors involve inadequate nutrition, poor sanitation, and unsupportive socio-economic environments. A profound understanding of stunting, both from health and social perspectives, serves as a foundation for students to engage in prevention and intervention efforts. Students can contribute through community service activities, nutrition education campaigns, and innovative projects aimed at raising awareness about the importance of early nutritional intake. Student involvement at the local level can be pivotal in bridging the gap between science and society, improving access to information, and stimulating behavioral changes. Furthermore, this article highlights the potential of students in the research domain, exploring further knowledge about the underlying factors of stunting and evaluating the effectiveness of existing programs. By integrating students into the stunting prevention agenda, it is hoped that useful and effective programs and applications will be developed to enhance the health of children.
