Authors: Aliyu A. , Ping Qing , Yahaya Adamu 
Published: September 2020

This paper presents the results of an exploratory survey of African Consumers’ Perception Regarding consumer electronics products originating from its three major trading partners-China, Japan and United States of America (U.S.A). The focus of the study is investigating the source of information in evaluating foreign products, The evaluation of the specific product cues used by African consumer in their assessment of electronic products and the ranking of the three countries-China, Japan and USA in terms of the various product attributes. The product category selected for the study includes television sets, Refrigerators, Computers, Electric irons, and digital cameras. The products cues (Dimensions) used for the study comprised of Country of origin image (COI), Brand Familiarity (B.F), Perceived product quality (PPQ), Firms’ trust (F.T), Country reputation (C.R), Economic Animosity (E.A), Perceived product price (PPP), And Product Availability (P.A). Data was collected from two hundred and seventy (270) African consumers in the city of Wuhan Hubei province; Peoples Republic of China. With the aid of statistical packages for social sciences (IBM SPSS 20 VERSION), Paired-sample T test was used to compare the mean ratings of all the eight (8) product dimensions for all the pairs of the three (3) countries. The findings showed that internet advertisement and television are the most important information sources used by African consumers in evaluating foreign electronic products, this was followed by friends’ opinion and the least patronage was radio. The result also disclosed that African consumers don’t consider the country of origin aspect to be their priority in the course of making foreign electronic product purchase, rather other product attributes such as quality and product brand take the precedence. Also revealed from the studies is the ranking of the three countries in terms of the eight product dimensions. It was found that, Japan having highest brand recognition (Brand familiarity), United states would boast of two things, which include high perceived product quality and country reputation. China is leading ahead in terms of cheap product price and availability of their products in almost (if not all) the nooks and crannies of African countries as perceived by African consumers. Finally, in discussing managerial implications, prescriptions were made to marketers from different countries for improving their competitiveness in the emerging African market given the present perceptions of the African consumers.

Micro satellites must survive severe mechanical conditions during their launch phase. One design requirement for rockets is the stiffness requirement, i.e. the natural frequencies requirement. In the early stages of satellite development, presumption of the natural frequency of a satellite may be difficult. The material used for the structure of many micro satellites is an aluminum alloy. The structure subsystem occupies a large portion of the satellite mass, and the elastic modulus of this aluminum alloy is larger than that of other subsystems. Therefore, the mechanical property of the aluminum alloy cannot be used to represent the mechanical property of the whole satellite. The density of an actual satellite differs from the density of the aluminum alloy. Therefore, when estimating the minimum natural frequency, the size and the elastic modules of an actual satellite structure must be used. When using an actual satellite structure, the estimated minimum natural frequencies of the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction during the ascent phase are in agreement with the measured values acquired by the vibration tests. In order to shorten a process of satellite development, this paper describes a practical method for estimating the natural frequency of a cube-shaped micro satellite This paper is a modified version of the previous paper [1] using new measurement results.

Authors: Yahaya Adamu 
Published: September 2020

The study examines the economics of scavenging (Baban Bola or Yan Bola), in Mubi by over increasing numbers of unemployed youths in Mubi. The data was collected through closed ended questionnaires (60) and through researcher field observation. Data obtained were qualitative and quantitatively analyzed using descriptive statistic. Result shows that materials scavenging from solid waste for recycling is dangerous done by combining through waste dumps where materials sought after handpicked. Recyclable materials are also obtained by scavengers through the process of weighing or pricing. The materials required are hence transported using a metal cart (push push) to junk collection deport and processed by sorting and grinding. They are consequently weight using the salter scale to determine their monetary worth before selling it to the junk dealers. Most materials collected by scavengers are metallic objects, glass bottles, rubbers or plastic material because demands for such materials are high by recycling industries locally. This scavenging practice is observed to by environmentally being as it helps in reducing the excess waste destined for evacuation and final disposal in addition to the job it creates. It is however, recommended that scavenging practice should be properly organized and practitioners financially empowered so that they will acquire modern tools of resources recovered from waste to bust their capacity to recover more waste which will in due course lead to low-waste society

Authors: Şenel Tekin Perihan 
Published: September 2020

Background: Health literacy has a measure of capacity to access, understand, assess, and apply health information in individuals’ decision-making processes to maintain and improve life-quality quality of life. Research is a descriptive study aiming to determine the health literacy level of medical secretary’ students who are health professionals and the influencing factors of health literacy in the future.
Method: The research was conducted between April 30 and June 1, 2018, and the study group consisted of 55 medical secretary students who study in Ankara University Vocational School of Health in Turkey. The participants were given the questionnaire which was composed of 3 sections (socio-demographic information, health status, and the Health Literacy Survey-European Union/HLS-EU scale) and 70 questions used for data collection purposes.
Results: The average age of the group was 21.4±4.1. The average score of participants’ general health literacy index was calculated as 33.9±7.42 (n=55). Approximately 70% of participants (n=55) were found to have adequate health literacy.
Conclusions: It is very important that the medical secretaries working as secretarial and patient orientation personnel in the health sector are health literate in terms of their own health and health service quality. Health literacy can't be considered independent of the general literacy level. Hence, in the lifelong learning process, individuals need to be supported in school and work life.

KESEIMBANGAN DALAM PRODUKSI, DISTRIBUSI DAN KONSUMSI SEBAGAI UPAYA PEMBANGUNAN EKONOMI BERKELANJUTAN
Authors: Suryani Suryani , Ihwanudin Nandang , Saripudin Udin 
Published: September 2020

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakngi oleh perilaku manusia dalam memenuhi kebutuhannya. Mereka memenuhi kebutuhan konsumsi dengan melakukan upaya produksi dengan kemampuan mereka sendiri selagi mereka memiliki kemampuan untuk melakukannya. Apabila tidak mampu melakukannya, maka pemenuhan kebutuhan tersebut dipenuhi melalui distribusi dari hasil produksi pihak lain. Dalam upaya memenuhi kebutuhan atau bahkan keinginannya, manusia seringkali melakukannya melampaui batasan yang semestinya. Mereka melakukannya dengan melanggar keutuhan dan harmonisasi antara produsen, konsumen, dan distributor. Bahkan seringakli dalam upaya kegiatan ekonomi, mengganggu stabilitas dan keberlanjutan ekosistem. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis tertarik meneliti tentang keseimbangan dalam produksi, distribusi dan konsumsi sebagai upaya pembangunan ekonomi berkelanjutan. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptip analisis dengan studi dokumentasi, penulis menarik simpulan bahwa pembangunan ekonomi berkelanjutan dapat dicapai melalui keseimabangan para pelaku ekonomi dalam sektor produksi, distribusi dan konsumsi. Islam, melalui Al-Quran dan hadits serta pemikiran para ulama mengajarkan bahwa, pertama: dalam proses produksi, modal dapat dibedakan menjadi tiga tingkatan: Al-Rizq: kekayaan/modal sebagai faktor produksi yang masih mungkin di dalamnya terdapat unsur atau cara memperoleh yang halal dan atau haram; al-Fadhl: kekayaan/modal sebagai faktor produksi yang diusahakan melalui cara-cara yang halal; dan ath-Thayyibah: kekayaan sebagai faktor produksi yang dari segi substansinya ia tidak bercampur antara yang halal dan haram, tidak membahayakan jiwa dan akal, dan banyak manfaatnya; dari segi cara memperolehnya halal; dan dari segi dampaknya, ia peduli pada kelestarian lingkungan, menjamin kelangsungan keanekaragaman hayati, swasembada pangan, bebas polusi udara dan air, dan sanitasi lingkungan; kedua: dalam sektor distribusi, landasan pentingnya adalah peradaran harta, kekayaan dan pendapatan agar tidak terkonsentrasi di tangan orang-orang yang sudah kaya. Juga mencegah terjadinya proses distribusi yang tidak adil, yakni larangan menimbun harta, bermegah-megahan yang melalaikan, celaan atas penumpukan harta, dan praktik monopoli; ketiga: dalam konsumsi, Islam memposisikan sebagai bagian dari aktifitas ekonomi yang bertujuan mengumpulkan pahala menuju falah, motifnya adalah mashlahah, dan rambunya-rambunya halalan thayyiba, dan tidak berlebihan.

Published: September 2020

Berkurangnya cadangan minyak dunia mendorong penelitian dalam menemukan energi terbarukan. Perkembangan teknologi diberbagai bidang turut mendukung adanya penelitian tersebut. Mobil listrik menjadi solusi untuk mengurangi ketergantungan terhadap penggunaan minyak bumi tersebut. Dalam penerapannya, mobil listrik digerakkan menggunakan motor induksi 3 fasa. Pada pengaturan tegangan dan frekuensi motor induksi 3 fasa, memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangan. Sehingga dibutuhkan suatu metode untuk mengoptimalkan pengaturan kecepatan motor induksi 3 fasa pada pengaturan tegangan dan frekuensi. Inverter 3 fasa yang dipakai menggunakan metode Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM), pengaturan kecepatan dilakukan melalui pengaturan frekuensi output dan tegangan output pada inverter 3 fasa. Motor induksi 3 fasa yang dipakai memiliki daya sebesar 1.5 HP dengan tegangan 220 Vrms yang dihubung secara delta. Pengontrolan kecepatan motor induksi 3 fasa dapat dilakukan dengan beberapa cara salah satunya adalah scalar control atau biasa disebut juga kontrol tegangan/frekuensi (v/f). Prinsip dari scalar control ini memaksa motor memiliki hubungan yang konstan antara tegangan dan frekuensi, sehingga pengaturan kecepatan motor melalui tegangan dan frekuensi lebih optimal. Dengan perubahan nilai ma (modulation amplitude) dan nilai mf (modulation frequency) pada inverter 3 fasa, pada saat perbandingan ratio tegangan dengan frekuensi 220/50 maka dibutuhkan 322.6 VDC. Dengan kecepatan putar motor 1462 RPM
