EFFECT OF SOLAR RADIATION INTENSITY ON THE VEGETATIVE GROWTH AND YIELD OF COFFEE
Authors: Guiscafré Arrillaga J. , Gómez Luis A. 
Published: October 2020

Tn this study, four ecological factors were observed: solar radiation, air temperature, relative humidity and soil moisture. Of the four, solar radiation fluctuates more than any other and undoubtedly the other threefactors are influenced by solar radiation to a great extent. 1—Solar radiation varies widely with season and year. 2—The greatest intensity takes place during the months of June to September and the lowest from November to February. 3—The greatest intensity recorded under full sunlight was 1.91 gr. cal./ min./ cm.2 and the lowest was 1.35 gr. cal./ min./ cm.2. 4—The yearly average solar radiation under full sunlight was 144,754. 40 gr. cal./ cm.2. 5—The cumulative radiation for the 3 years that lasted the experiment was 434,263.20 gr. cal./ cm.2, under full sunlight. 6—Shade regulates solar radiation making it more uniform from one year to the other. 7-As solar radiation increases, growth and yield of coffee decrease. 8—Yield, and growth of coffee were definitely higher under 1/2 and 1/3 than under 2/3 and full sunlight. 9—Statistically significant differences in yield, were not found between plots with 1/2 and 1/3 sunlight. Growth was significantly higher under 1/3 exposure. 10—Radiation, produces distinctive formative effects on coffee. Plants under full sunlight were very weak, chlorotie and poorly developed. 11—Four ecological factors were measured: solar radiation, temperature, relative humidity and soil moisture. All are affected by radiation to a great extent, but other factors as vegetation have also some effect. 12—Solar radiation is negatively correlated with yields and growth. 13—Growth and yields are positively correlated. As expected low temperature and yield are associated and soil moisture acts independently in relation to growth. 14—Plants under full sunlight accumulated greater amounts of nitrogen and potash and to a less extent of phosphorous than under any other exposure. 15—An average of 53,143.20 gram calories per square centimeter per year is the optimum cumulative solar radiation for yield and growth of coffee. This amount is obtainable under natural shade of Guaba trees (Inga Inga) planted at not less than 16 x 16 feet.
Economic Inequality, Regional Development, and Internal Migration in Indonesia
Authors: Prima Irfan Teguh , Khoirunurrofik Khoirunurrofik 
Published: October 2020

This study aims to probe the determinants of inter-provincial migration flows in Indonesia and how economic and development changes affect migration patterns. We employ three census periods, 1990, 2000, and 2010. Our study finds that an increase in relative inequality between origin and destination provinces decreases inter-provincial migration and relatively high distance elasticity in Indonesia leads to high migration cost. People are more inclined to migrate due to push factors as opposed to pull factors from the destination region, thus indicating a strong relationship between the level of regional development and the willingness of people to migrate.
An Empirical Analysis of Household Debt Behavior Determinants
Authors: Herispon Herispon 
Published: October 2020

This study identifies the determinants of debt behaviors and their effects on household consumption. We surveyed households in Riau, particularly in Pekanbaru and its neighboring areas, using purposive sampling and collected 390 useable responses. Our findings show that of the ten determinants considered, debt behavior can be explained by five determinants: (i) imitated lifestyle and consumerism, (ii) ability to manage money from debt, (iii) effects of promotion on the internet and visual media, (iv) monthly income, and (v) increasing household expenses and dependants. Implications of the findings are discussed.
Corruption and Economic Growth in ASEAN Member Countries
Authors: Alfada Anisah 
Published: October 2020

This study examines the effect of corruption on economic growth and determines the corruption threshold in nine ASEAN member countries in 1999–2016. This study assesses whether the effect of corruption is growth-enhancing or growth-deteriorating in different corruption threhsolds using a sample-splitting and threshold model. In contrast to the existing literature, this study does not group countries based on income level and therefore can reveal the corruption level of a country relative to a corruption threshold. The estimation results show that the adverse effect of corruption on economic growth is stronger for countries with corruption levels above the second threshold of 80.
Enhancing Resilience to Turbulent Global Financial Markets: An Indonesian Experience
Authors: Indrawati Sri Mulyani , Diop Ndiame , Ikhsan Mohamad , Kacaribu Febrio 
Published: October 2020

In the empirical literature, large and abrupt declines in capital inflows, or sudden stops, typically hit asset markets and generate output losses in the receiving countries. The significant decrease in capital flows to emerging markets in 2018 is a unique opportunity to test this premise. Using Indonesian data, we found that the sharp decline in capital inflows for over two consecutive quarters in 2018 had an adverse impact on the currency, equities, and bond markets, but no discernible output loss was recorded. Real GDP growth remained resilient throughout 2018 and held broadly steady at around 5 percent in the first quarter of 2019. Furthermore, asset markets rebounded quickly, regaining most of the losses incurred by March 2019. We attribute this resilience to Indonesia’s strong macroeconomic fundamentals and responsive fiscal and monetary policies. We argue that to sustain this resilience in the years to come, complementary structural reforms to boost export-oriented FDI would be needed. The 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic has put the emerging economies to the test again, with a possibly more significant impact. We will revisit our analysis in the future in the aftermath of the pandemic.
The Impact of Entrepreneurship on Economic Performance in Indonesia
Authors: Kadarusman Yohanes B. 
Published: October 2020

Entrepreneurship is claimed to have a positive and significant effect on economic growth in developed countries, but less so in developing countries. Using the growth model, this study examines the impact of entrepreneurship on economic performance in Indonesia as indicated by economic growth and income per-capita from 1985 to 2017. The estimation result confirms the non-significant effect of the growth of entrepreneurial ventures on the growth of GDP per-capita. However, the accumulation of the ventures has a positive and significant effect on the level of GDP per capita. The different typology of entrepreneurial ventures in Indonesia provides some insight to explain the finding, namely: scale does matter. Indonesia already has abundant micro-scale entrepreneurs, but it has only a limited amount of small-scale entrepreneurs, and even fewer medium or large-scale entrepreneurs. This finding contributes to a better understanding of the statistically non-significant impact of entrepreneurship on economic growth in developing countries. This study also suggests that entrepreneurship policy in Indonesia should focus more on facilitating micro-scale ventures to continuously develop toward small, medium, and ultimately large-scale enterprises rather than on creating start-ups.

Published: October 2020

The purpose of this study is to find the causative factors and problems of the GKSI Filadelfia Buntu Barana congregation that are less experiencing spiritual growth. Than directed through the strategy of pastors or servants of God to increase formation of the congregation in the midst of many of their busy actifities that prioritize work rather than worship or followship in church on Sundays. The methods used in this study are: First, the library research method is a study of books end literature relating to this research as a theorectical reference. Second, the method of field research is research conducted directly to the object of research by observation or direct observation in the field, and interviews. The conclusions of this study are: first, the spiritual growth hampered by the GKSI Buntu Barana congregation because there is not yet real repentance for some congregations, second, there are obstacles that hinder the spiritual growth of the GKSI Buntu Barana congregation, including the lack of community and social environment that does not support spiritual growth of the church. Third, some effective strategies in increasing the spiritual quality of congregants are by engaging in their busy activities by getting involved in their busy work, outside of worship hours as Christians should: Suday Services, Hausehold Services, School Services Sunday, Youth Services, Church prayer Services, and visits if they are at home. In addition we as servents of Gad often provide young people with a variety of creativity.
Food Identities at Home and on the Move
Authors: Crenn Chantal 
Published: October 2020

How does food restore the fragmented world of migrants and the displaced? What similar processes are involved in challenging, maintaining or reinforcing divisions between groups coexisting in the same living place? Food Identities at Home and on the Move examines how ‘home’ is negotiated around food in the current worldwide context of uncertainty, mobility and displacement.
Drawing on empirical approaches to heritage, identity and migration studies, the contributors analyse the relationship between food and the various understandings of home and dwelling. With case studies on sushi around the world, food as heritage in the Afghan diaspora and Mexican foodways in Chicago, these chapters offer novel readings on the convergence of food and migration studies, the anthropology of space and place and the field of mobility by focusing on how entangled stories of food and home are put on display for constructing the present and imagining the future.
Assessing impacts of selective logging on water, energy, and carbon budgets and ecosystem dynamics in Amazon forests using the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator
Authors: Huang Maoyi , Xu Yi , Longo Marcos , Keller Michael , Knox Ryan G. , Koven Charles D. , Fisher Rosie A. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Tropical forest degradation from logging, fire, and fragmentation not only
alters carbon stocks and carbon fluxes, but also impacts physical
land surface properties such as albedo and roughness length. Such impacts
are poorly quantified to date due to difficulties in accessing and
maintaining observational infrastructures, as well as the lack of proper modeling
tools for capturing the interactions among biophysical properties, ecosystem
demography, canopy structure, and biogeochemical cycling in tropical
forests. As a first step to address these limitations, we implemented a
selective logging module into the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial
Ecosystem Simulator (FATES) by mimicking the ecological, biophysical, and
biogeochemical processes following a logging event. The model can specify
the timing and aerial extent of logging events, splitting the logged forest
patch into disturbed and intact patches; determine the survivorship of
cohorts in the disturbed patch; and modifying the biomass and necromass
(total mass of coarse woody debris and litter) pools following logging. We
parameterized the logging module to reproduce a selective logging experiment
at the Tapajós National Forest in Brazil and benchmarked model outputs
against available field measurements. Our results suggest that the model
permits the coexistence of early and late successional functional types and
realistically characterizes the seasonality of water and carbon fluxes and
stocks, the forest structure and composition, and the ecosystem succession
following disturbance. However, the current version of FATES overestimates
water stress in the dry season and therefore fails to capture seasonal variation
in latent and sensible heat fluxes. Moreover, we observed a bias towards low
stem density and leaf area when compared to observations, suggesting that
improvements are needed in both carbon allocation and establishment of
trees. The effects of logging were assessed by different logging scenarios
to represent reduced impact and conventional logging practices, both with
high and low logging intensities. The model simulations suggest that in
comparison to old-growth forests the logged forests rapidly recover water
and energy fluxes in 1 to 3 years. In contrast, the recovery times for
carbon stocks, forest structure, and composition are more than 30 years
depending on logging practices and intensity. This study lays the foundation
to simulate land use change and forest degradation in FATES, which will be
an effective tool to directly represent forest management practices and
regeneration in the context of Earth system models.
The Limits of the Ethnographic Turn
Authors: Ranganathan Bharat 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThis article reflects on the ethnographic turn in recent comparative religious ethics (CRE). Comparative religious ethicists should be lauded because they privilege engagement with non-Western intellectual sources. Such engagement is important since it undermines the erroneous view that non-Western sources are either soft or are part of someone else's commitments and therefore irrelevant. Yet some recent comparative work stops at merely describing these non-Western sources, moving ethics away from its normative tasks. If CRE is to remain relevant to broader conversations in moral and political theory, comparative religious ethicists should perform two tasks: they should evaluate the object under consideration and illustrate how thinking about it may contribute to broader thinking about common moral and political problems.

Authors: Melo Luiz Gustavo Vaz de , Bernardes Maria Elisa Brandão 
Published: October 2020

Objetivo do estudo: O estudo teve como objetivo descrever um processo de incorporação de estratégias emergentes por uma organização que utiliza um Sistema de Controle de Gestão (SCG), baseado no Balanced Scorecard (BSC).Metodologia/abordagem: Abordagem processual, por meio da qual o fenômeno foi examinado como uma sequência de eventos ao longo do tempo, nos quais a participação de indivíduos de diferentes níveis e posições foi considerada. O método empregado foi o estudo de caso, que privilegia levantamentos qualitativos, tais como a interação entre o SCG e as estratégias deliberadas ou emergentes.Originalidade/relevância: Ampliou o conhecimento do processo de implementação através do uso de SCG, baseado no BSC, por meio do qual, apesar do rígido controle, uma nova estratégia emergiu e foi incorporada à estratégia deliberada. Raros são os estudos que, abordando as duas frentes teóricas (estratégia emergente e controle de gestão), oferecem uma descrição detalhada do processo que as integra.Principais resultados: Os resultados evidenciaram que o uso do BSC, como SCG, viabiliza a comunicação e o desdobramento de objetivos estratégicos alinhados e priorizados, o monitoramento da implementação através de revisões e é compatível com o desenvolvimento de uma estratégia emergente. Também explicaram que a emergência ocorreu de maneira lenta e incremental. Além disso, sua integração só foi possível graças aos movimentos contínuos e progressivos de constrições internas, oriundas da base da organização, e externas, advindas de diversos atores do mercado.Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Contribuiu para elucidar o processo de implementação de estratégias através do uso de um SCG baseado no BSC, com suas limitações, e também a dinâmica da evolução de uma estratégia emergente, desde o seu surgimento até a sua incorporação no plano, relevando a participação de diferentes stakeholders no processo.

Authors: Yang Zurong , Pang Miaomiao , Zhou Qingyang , Song Shuxuan , Liang Weifeng , Chen Junjiang , Guo Tianci , Shao Zhongjun , Liu Kun 
Published: October 2020

Background
Human brucellosis imposes a heavy burden on the health and economy of endemic regions. Since 2011, China has reported at least 35,000 human brucellosis cases annually, with more than 90% of these cases reported in the northern. Given the alarmingly high incidence and variation in the geographical distribution of human brucellosis cases, there is an urgent need to decipher the causes of such variation in geographical distribution.

Method
We conducted a retrospective epidemiological study in Shaanxi Province from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2018 to investigate the association between meteorological factors and transmission of human brucellosis according to differences in geographical distribution and seasonal fluctuation in northwestern China for the first time.

Results
Human brucellosis cases were mainly distributed in the Shaanbei upland plateau before 2008 and then slowly extended towards the southern region with significant seasonal fluctuation. The results of quasi-Poisson generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) indicated that air temperature, sunshine duration, rainfall, relative humidity, and evaporation with maximum lag time within 7 months played crucial roles in the transmission of human brucellosis with seasonal fluctuation. Compared with the Shaanbei upland plateau, Guanzhong basin had more obvious fluctuations in the occurrence of human brucellosis due to changes in meteorological factors. Additionally, the established GAMM model showed high accuracy in predicting the occurrence of human brucellosis based on the meteorological factors.

Conclusion
These findings may be used to predict the seasonal fluctuations of human brucellosis and to develop reliable and cost-effective prevention strategies in Shaanxi Province and other areas with similar environmental conditions.
Board Membership Diversity and Earning Management: A Cross Country Analysis
Authors: Sabina Ejezie 
Published: October 2020

The aim of this paper is the effect of board membership diversity on earnings management among listed non-financial firms in three selected Sub-Sahara African countries (Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa) were used for the period of ten years spanning 2009 to 2018. The study employed ex-post facto research design. The secondary sources of data were collected from annual reports of the selected non-financial firms quoted in their respective stock exchange and three specific objectives and hypotheses were tested and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis and panel regression analysis. Using some selected Sub-Sahara African countries a sample of 470 observations were used, the result revealed that board membership diversity has positive influence on earnings management, the influence is effective in driving the level of manipulated earnings among firms in Sub-Sahara Africa because the result was found to be statistically significant, therefore the researcher rejects the null hypothesis and accepts the alternatives hypothesis which states that foreign board membership diversity has significant effect on earnings management among non- financial firms in Sub-Sahara African countries with a high significant value of 0.005 indicated using hypothesis testing tool. The research concludes that foreign board membership diversity is very influential on earnings management of non-financial firms in Sub-Sahara African countries.
Impact of Mass Drug Administration on Prevalence of Schistosomiasis in Eight Riverine Communities in the Asuogyaman District of the Eastern Region, Ghana
Authors: Abass Quartey , Bedzo John Yao , Manortey Stephen 
Published: October 2020

Background: The incidence of schistosomiasis in Ghana and more specifically in the Asuogyaman District had become a noticeable record following the creation of the Akosombo Dam in the early 1960s. This has inevitably since placed an enormous burden on the health service delivery systems in the geographical area. Mass Drug Administration (MDA) of Praziquantel has been used worldwide as a preventive and treatment intervention measure for the disease, and the study area is no exception. The study, therefore, aimed to assess the impact of MDA on the prevalence and associated risk factors of schistosomiasis in eight (8) selected riverine communities within the district.
Methods: A descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted involving 896 respondents with ages ranging from 2 to 82 years and a mean age of 17±13.78 years. Data were obtained from the Volta River Authority (VRA) Public Health and Environmental Department. Pearson’s chi-square tests and logistic regression models were used to assess the association and predict the relationship between variables.
Findings: Out of the 896 respondents, 93 (10.4 %) tested positive for Schistosoma haematobium. Proportionally, the Nyameben community had a high prevalence of 25.8% while Mami-Waterkope, and Mangoase both had a low prevalence of 3.2 %. The average uptake of Praziquantel was 41% across the study area. From the bivariate analysis, the respondents’ community of residence was noted as the only statistically significant variable contributing to infection. Respondents aged 13-39 were 1.68 times more likely to be infected compared to their younger counterparts after controlling for all other covariates in the predictive model.
Conclusion: Mass Drug Administration had a tremendous effect on reducing the prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis to the present level of 10.4%. However, some “hotspots” like the Nyameben community will require special attention to reduce the high prevalence disease rate. Communities with low uptake of Praziquantel had a relatively high prevalence of schistosomiasis.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: COVID-19 has affected all spheres of human endeavour in a developing country like Nigeria. In a bid to stop the spread of this virus, different preventive measures were put in place by all the levels of government. Therefore, studying the health-seeking behaviour of residents in the face of the deadly COVID-19 virus becomes paramount in this study.
Aim: This cross-sectional survey sought to investigate various health seeking behaviours exhibited by residents of Oyo state, Nigeria during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the multi-stage sampling techniques were finally used to select 327 respondents, aged 22-51 years with (Mean = 31.11, SD = 7.22) from two local government areas in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria.
Results: The result found that majority of the respondents’ experienced one form of signs and symptoms during COVID-19 pandemic. Also, many of the respondents experienced headache as major signs and symptoms during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Furthermore, fear of being diagnosed with COVID-19 was the major barrier to health seeking behaviour during COVID-19 pandemic while taking of local herbs was used by majority of respondents’ during COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion and Recommendation: The COVID-19 pandemic affected residents’ healthcare-seeking behaviour Ibadan, Oyo state Nigeria. It was recommended that professional sociologists and health experts should develop health promotion and intervention programme tailored toward improving heath seeking behaviour of residents during and after COVID-19 pandemic.
