Authors: . Anand , Singh Ajai 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

With a population exceeding 40.3 million, Jharkhand faces critical water resource management challenges amidst its mineral-rich landscape. this study investigates the potential of integrating mine water into water resource management strategies, focusing on the Gidi A region. Utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Entropy Analysis, the research assesses the feasibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of mine water utilization. The Consistency Ratio (CR) of approximately 10.24% validates the robustness of the pairwise comparisons in the AHP method. Key findings highlight stakeholders' prioritization of Water Quality (40.015%), Environmental Impact (25.77%), and Technological Feasibility (16.61%), indicating significant concerns about water purity, environmental sustainability, and practical management technologies. Infrastructure Investments emerge as the top consideration, accounting for 57.80% of the objective weight, signifying its paramount importance in water resource management in Gidi A. In contrast, Recycle and Reuse (15.30%), Green Technology (6.42%), and Conservative Measures (1.19%) exhibit lower percentages, suggesting stakeholders' relatively lower emphasis on these alternatives compared to Infrastructure Investments. Additionally, the entropy values for each alternative offer insights into stakeholders' consensus, with Infrastructure Investments showing the highest entropy value (57.80%), indicating considerable variability in stakeholder judgments but emphasizing their perceived necessity. This research offers insights for sustainable development in mining regions, aiding in the responsible and efficient utilization of mine water resources.

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders associated with slow and progressive loss of brain structure and function mostly in older individuals. Evidence has shown that disruption of zinc homeostasis in the brain leads to synaptic, learning, and memory impairments. In this study, we evaluated the effect of zeolite zinc on memory performance and hippocampal cell death in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) induced by intracerebroventricular administration of Aβ1–42. We employed the Morris water maze, shuttle box, and open field tests to assess spatial memory, passive avoidance memory, and anxiety-like behavior, respectively.". P-Tau and the amyloid precursor protein (APP) expression, and hippocampal cell death were also evaluated. Both Aβ1−42 and zeolite zinc were also injected intracerebroventricular. The results showed that zeolite zinc partially reversed Aβ1-42-induced impairments in memory performance and mitigated the effects of Aβ1–42 on locomotor activity, although not fully restoring to baseline levels. In addition, Aβ1−42 increased the expression of APP and P-Tau, and the number of dead cells, while zeolite zinc decreased these effects. In conclusion, our findings suggest that while zeolite zinc plays a role in modulating the pathophysiology of AD, its therapeutic effects only partially reverse the progression or symptoms of AD, indicating the need for further investigation into optimal dosing or combination therapies
The potential contribution of light-intensity exercise-induced miR-486a-3p secretion on enhancing empathic behavior in mice

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Empathy plays a crucial role in the maintenance of interpersonal relationships among mammals. Remarkably, engaging in light-intensity exercise has been identified as a facilitator of empathic behavior, a phenomenon associated with the upregulation of miR-486a-3p in the insular cortex. However, it remains to cover the contribution of miR-486a-3p and the mechanisms of changing levels of that in the insular cortex with light-intensity exercise. We initially assessed the impact of light-intensity exercise (7.0 m/min, 30 min/day, five days/week for four weeks) on helping behavior, mRNA in their insular cortex, and the secretion of exosomal miR-486a-3p from their gastrocnemius muscle. Subsequently, we explored the effects of a daily intraperitoneal injection of miR-486a-3p mimic over a two-week period on helping behavior. The intervention of light-intensity exercise, which enhanced helping behavior, resulted in elevated levels of miR-486a-3p in the insular cortex and exosomal miR-486a-3p in the plasma. Interestingly, there was no significant change observed in the levels of gastrocnemius muscle-derived exosomal miR-486a-3p. Moreover, the administration of mmu-miR-486a-3p mimic exhibited a similar enhancement of helping behavior in mice. Notably, both the exercise intervention and miR-486a-3p mimic treatment led to the downregulation of Pten mRNA and upregulation of Bdnf mRNA in the insular cortex. Our findings suggest that the increase in exosomal miR-486a-3p, originating from a source other than the gastrocnemius muscle, contributes to the empathy enhancement induced by light-intensity exercise. Furthermore, it is proposed that miR-486a-3p mimics the effects of light-intensity exercise, presenting a potential avenue for treating empathy-related behaviors.
Revisiting Productivity Growth Accounting Decompositions
Authors: Massari Filippo 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Productivity growth accounting decompositions are sensitive to the definition of aggregate productivity, which usually takes the form of a weighted geometric or arithmetic average of firms' productivities. This paper shows explicitly why the two differ. It further proposes a modification to a popular decomposition highlighting the contribution of the component responsible for this discrepancy, namely the covariance of productivity growth rates and levels. The argument favoring this modified decomposition is that the novel component offers relevant information for applied theoretical purposes, thus increasing the usefulness of aggregate productivity decompositions. Finally, the paper argues that standard theoretical assumptions support (i) a proposed separation between aggregate and average productivity, and (ii) the adoption of the arithmetic average definition as opposed to the more popular geometric average.

Abstract

Background: To investigate the effects of resistance training with breathing retraining on body composition, pulmonary function, circulatory parameters, and aerobic capacity in overweight young women.
Methods: 24 overweight young females were randomly allocated into the resistance training group (RT) and the resistance training combined with breathing retraining group (RT+B), and performed exercise training for eight weeks, three sessions/week and 60 minutes/session. 12 age and BMI matched but not overweight young females were also recruited as the control group (C). The variables of anthropometric, body composition, pulmonary and circulatory function, aerobic capacity, blood glucose and lipid profile were measured before and after the intervention.
Results: Significant decreases in BMI, total body fat, TG and LDL-c were observed in the two exercise groups (p＜0.05). In both exercise groups, significant increases in VO2max were accompanied by noticeable increases in VC, FVC, MVV, FEV1, PEF and decreases in SBP, DBP, SBP2, cSBP, rAI (p＜0.05). The Group RT+B had significantly higher increases in VO2max, AT, and oxygen pulse level than those of the control and Group RT (p＜0.05).
Conclusions: The combined resistance exercise and breathing retraining appears to be more effective than resistance exercise alone in improving pulmonary function and aerobic capacity in overweight young women.

Constructing The Understanding of Non-Positivist Research Paradigm and Method
Authors: Sukoharsono Eko Ganis 
Published: August 2024

Purpose—This research aims to build an understanding of non-positivist research paradigms and methods. The development of problems in society, especially those related to social problems, is increasingly complex.
Design/methodology/approach - This research used an interpretive paradigm approach. The interpretive approach departs from efforts to seek explanations of social or cultural events based on the perspectives and experiences of the people being studied.
Findings - The result of this research showed that the six paradigms that have been described, namely 1) Interpretive, 2) Phenomenology, 3) Symbolic Interactionism, 4) Critic, 5) Postmodernist, and 6) Spiritualist, have differences in their respective advantages and disadvantages.
Practical implications - The focus of each existing paradigm is also different, so researchers must be careful when using it. Differences can start from how to focus the research theme to be explored to how the report pattern should be made. Thus, these developments may lead researchers to solve increasingly complex problems and find the root of the problem.
Determinants Of Tax Compliance for Business Actors and Independent Workers in The Perspective of Theory of Planned Behavior and Theory of Fiscal Psychology
Authors: Betha Februari Khristy  , Baridwan Zaki , Khoiru Rusydi Mohamad 
Published: August 2024

Purpose—This study aims to analyze determinants of tax compliance intentions and behaviour using constructs derived from the Theory of Planned Behavior, i.e., tax morale, social norms, detection risk, penalty magnitude, and tax complexity, and the Theory of Fiscal Psychology, i.e., perception about the government.
Design/methodology/approach —This research was conducted on 120 business actors and independent workers in the Greater Malang region using a survey and partial Least Squares analysis performed in SmartPLS.
Findings — This study finds that tax morale, social norms, penalty magnitude, tax complexity, and perception about the government and that tax compliance intention, detection risk, and penalty magnitude influence tax compliance behaviour to determine tax compliance intention. Furthermore, detection risk does not affect tax compliance intention, and tax complexity does not influence tax compliance behaviour.
Practical implications —Based on the findings, the government is advised, through the Directorate General of Tax, to develop policies and approaches supporting tax morale, strengthen community bases to create tax-aware environments, maintain law enforcement through investigation and application of penalties, build an easy-to-reach taxation system, and create transparency to enhance taxpayer’s trust to the government that eventually leads to higher tax compliance intention and behaviour.
Originality/value—The findings support the inclusion of the Theory of Fiscal Psychology in the development of the Theory of Planned Behavior to explain tax compliance behaviour and provide a new perspective that, in the context of tax compliance, not all aspects of perceived behavioural control have the same effect on both behavioural intention and produced behaviour.
Keywords — Tax compliance behaviour; Theory of Planned Behavior; Theory of Fiscal Psychology.

Authors: M. Yamin H. Mujirin , Ganis Sukoharsono Eko , Setyo Leksono Amin , Setyowati Endah 
Published: August 2024

Purpose - The type of this research is explanatory (confirmatory research). This type of research aims to analyze the relationship between one variable and another.
Design/methodology/approach—Depending on the type of research used, hypothesis testing is carried out quantitatively using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis approach or structural equations.
Findings – Research results show that: 1. Cocoa development strategy has been empirically proven to affect cocoa productivity directly. This finding shows a significant positive influence between cocoa development strategy and productivity, 2. Empirical cocoa development strategy positively and significantly affects environmental sustainability; 3. Cocoa development strategies have a negative influence but substantially affect the farmers' welfare, 4. Empirically, cocoa productivity has a direct and negative impact on the direction of the relationship, but it is significant for environmental sustainability. The path coefficient values found that increased cocoa productivity does not increase ecological sustainability but hurts the two variables, 5. There is a positive and significant influence between cocoa productivity and farmers' welfare. Thus, this effect shows that increasing cocoa productivity will improve farmers' welfare, 6. Environmental sustainability has a positive and significant effect on the welfare of farmers, which means that an increase in environmental sustainability will increase the welfare of cocoa farmers. Thus, environmental sustainability can be a predictor of farmer welfare.
Practical implications—According to empirical statistical tests, environmental sustainability has a positive and significant effect on farmer welfare. Thus, an increase in environmental sustainability will increase the welfare of cocoa farmers. Thus, environmental sustainability can be a predictor of farmer welfare. This finding is based on perception and is in line with the views of several experts.
Originality/value—The path coefficient values found between the two variables indicate that the increase in cocoa productivity has no effect on increasing environmental sustainability but has a negative impact. Yet, cocoa productivity has a positive and significant influence on farmers' welfare. This effect shows that an increase in cocoa productivity will improve farmers' welfare.
Keywords - development, productivity, environment, welfare, contribution

E-Wallet Usage Behavior: A Tam Approach And Success Model
Authors: Rachmasari Annisa 
Published: August 2024

Purpose — This study was formulated to test and analyze the positive influence of the perception of usability, ease, satisfaction, and behavioral interest in using e-wallets.
Design/methodology/approach—This research paradigm uses quantitative-type positivism with an exploratory approach. The population and sample were 363 respondents who were E-wallet users. Data analysis was using SEM-PLS.
Findings —The results of this study succeeded in empirically proving that constructs in the TAM model (Davis et al., 1989) and satisfaction constructs (DeLone & McLean, 1992) can answer the behavioral problem of using e-wallets. In addition, this study can develop the concept of acceptance and success in using e-wallets, seen from the perspective of lecturers as e-wallet users. The development of the concept is carried out by testing the construct of perception of usefulness, perception of ease of use, behavioral interest, satisfaction, and actual use.
Practical implications — In increasing the use of e-wallets, service providers and vendors must also consider and concentrate on building the ease of new services that will be issued. So that information technology, especially e-wallets, can be used or reached by all circles.
Originality/value — This study seeks to combine the TAM Approach: Perceived Usefulness & Perceived ease of use, Behavior Intention, and Actual Use (Davis et al., 1989) with the Success Model: User Satisfaction (DeLone & McLean, 1992).
Keywords — TAM Approach, Success Model.

The value of the local wisdom of Karma phala in the practice of accountability of the traditional system of the village of Tenganan Pegurinsingan
Authors: Dharmawan Nyoman Ari Surya , Hariadi Bambang , Adib Noval 
Published: August 2024

Objective – This study wants to uncover the value of local wisdom behind the accountability practices implemented by the Balinese Customary Institutions.
Design-Method—This type of research is qualitative and uses an ethnomethodological approach. This approach is chosen to explore research problems by understanding the daily life of the subject being studied.
Findings—This study found that accountability practices applied to Indigenous institutions are certainly based on phala karma. Karma phala is rooted in two words: karma, which means "deed" or "action," and phala, which means "fruit" or "result." Karma phala means "the fruit of deeds," both what has been done and what will be done.
Originality—Praktik accountability and karma phala are two uncertain concepts that cannot be separated if they are connected with responsibility, deeds, and rewards.
Research Implications – This study found that honesty and fear of karma phala led members in Indigenous institutions to work honestly and transparently to create accountability that family because of the customary customs of the people who uphold the existing and applicable awig-awig
