American Farmers’ Attitudes toward China and the U.S.–China Trade Dispute: A Mediated Relationship
Authors: Han Guang , Rodriguez Lulu , Qu Shuyang 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The trade dispute between the U.S. and China significantly cut agricultural product sales to a major foreign market and drastically hurt Midwest farmers’ pocketbooks. To explore Midwest farmers’ attitudes toward China and the trade dispute, we surveyed 693 farmers in Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota. We found that farmers’ attitudes toward China were generally unfavourable; farmers were also somewhat pessimistic about the outcome of the trade dispute. Additionally, we found that farmers’ attitudes toward the trade dispute were driven by their disposition toward China, the information they obtained from interpersonal and media sources, the perceived credibility of media sources, their propensity to take on risks, income, and years of farming. Farmers’ attitudes toward China, on the other hand, were influenced by the degree to which they saw information sources as credible. We also found that farmers’ attitudes toward China played a mediating effect in the positive impact of media credibility on farmers’ attitudes toward the trade dispute.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
As a response to imbalanced economic development across different regions, this study aims to explore how the Fair Trade nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) promote inclusive growth in areas facing insufficient institutional supports and challenging local conditions in a developing market. Through a 5-year longitudinal case study in the context of small-scale tea supply from rural China, this paper explores and identifies a set of institutional voids blocking economic growth and challenging the realisation of the Fair Trade goals. We systematically describe how the Fair Trade NGOs intervene and integrate with other actors in local supply chains. The results reveal important and complex roles the NGOs play in coping with the institutional voids to stimulate Fair Trade. From an institutional perspective, this paper finds that the Fair Trade NGOs can leverage and shape local institutions through collaboration in market structure building, norm promotion, and cognitive development to achieve inclusive growth. Our findings contribute to the understanding of the crucial roles NGOs may play in Fair Trade, inclusive growth, and poverty alleviation. They offer important and practical guidance for NGOs, small farmers, as well as relevant government agencies in their initiatives to fight poverty and achieve economic equality and inclusive growth.
Australian ethical consumer segmentation of food and agricultural products and export opportunities for the Pacific Islands

Abstract
Ethical consumerism is one of this century’s retail success stories and has continued to grow despite the global pandemic and economic contraction. Consumers worldwide are increasingly putting their money where their values are in purchases of food and drink, clothing, housing, and financial and other services. Understanding these consumers is key to competing successfully in markets for ethically sourced products and presents opportunities for reducing poverty in developing countries where food and agricultural production is the dominant economic activity, such as small island developing states (SIDS) in the Pacific. While ethical consumerism is an expanding research field, findings rarely are analysed in detail for market development. Rarer still is segmentation in terms of product attributes aimed explicitly at poverty reduction in slow-growth, emerging economies like those of the Pacific. Here we report a latent class cluster analysis of survey responses by ethically conscious Australian consumers (n = 637) associated with Oxfam, the development charity. Four distinct consumer segments were identified with implications for Pacific producers. Product origin and ‘the story behind the product’ were particularly important to these consumers. The findings provide practical insights to agricultural stakeholders in the Pacific and those similarly situated around the globe that are in need of new economic opportunities.
Does Competition Matter in The Malaysian Banking System?
Authors: Arifin Nur Afizah Muhamad , Shafi Roslina Mohamad , Mokhtar Imani 
Published: September 2023

The transition from financial repression to financial liberalization, which led to cross-border capital flows and the expansion of the financial sector, has had a significant impact on the global financial market. Competition could pass through or interact with the impact of financial liberalization on financial stability. A liberalized banking sector prompted commercial banks to intensify risk-taking activities, which ultimately could affect financial stability. This paper examines the effect of financial liberalization on financial stability and the roles of competition as the interacting variable using a panel data analysis based on a sample of 43 banks in Malaysia. Results from the Malaysian banking sector indicate that increased competition will affect the stability of the financial system. Lastly, competition needs to be set at the best possible level so that financial stability can be well preserved.

Published: September 2023

Considering the rising cost of medicine in Malaysia, it is crucial to investigate the behavioral factors that influence the intent of consumers when selecting medicines. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to examine the influence of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and respondents’ knowledge on their intentions to purchase either generic or brand-name medicines. A cross-sectional survey research design was used in this study, involving consumers in various community areas in Selangor. Using a convenience sampling approach, a total of 444 respondents participated in this study. More than half of the respondents were female (63%) and Malay (73%). In regression analysis, the results showed that knowledge (p <0.001) and perceived behavioral control (p <0.001) were statistically significant for purchase intention toward generic and brand medicine. Though statistically significant, only 19% and 29% (knowledge and perceived behavioral control) of the respondents showed intention to purchase the generic medicine while a higher percentage of the respondents showed agreement to their purchase intention with 27% and 45% of the same variables for the purchase intention to the brand medicine. Knowledge and perceived behavioral control were found to be predictors of respondents’ intentions to purchase either generic or brand-name medicines. Apart from that, the perceived capacity to purchase is one of the factors that determine consumers’ purchase intent. The people’s awareness of the similarity between brand-name medicines needs to be increased, as well an individual’s ability to pay for the medicine should be explored in future research

Published: September 2023

This study examines the antecedents of destination loyalty and its relation to destination image (cultural image, environmental image, and socio-economic image), brand image and awareness and destination satisfaction in island destinations. This study raises important questions concerning how cultural image, environmental image, socioeconomic image, destination brand image, destination brand awareness and destination satisfaction affect destination loyalty. This research attempts to identify (1) the effect of Destination Image on Tourist Satisfaction and (2) To examine the effect of Destination Image towards Destination Loyalty. The study empirically tests the predicted relationship by using a survey of 147 local tourists after the moving control order ended in Malaysia. Data were collected by a physical survey of 147 local tourists. The data were modeled with partial least squares structural equation modeling. Based on 147 valid responses processed with Smart PLS software, the results confirm most of the research hypotheses. The study reveals that destination brand awareness, environmental image, and environmental knowledge affect tourists at Tuba Island. However, the socioeconomic image doesn't significantly impact tourism satisfaction. Additionally, destination brand, destination image, and environmental image contribute to tourist loyalty at Tuba Island, with loyalty not being the main factor driving satisfaction or loyalty to the island. The findings are useful for all stakeholders of tourism development in Langkawi and Tuba Island, Malaysia

Internships have become crucial to help students make them stand out while at the same time providing training and work experience for the students. However, the issue of workplace aggression among internship students is increasing and is worrying many parties as it is a prevalent matter that internship students can be subjected to mistreatment in the workplace. Drawing from the Job Demand-Resource model and Conservation of Resources theory, this paper sought to identify the relationship between independent variables such as workplace bullying, interpersonal conflict, abusive supervision and anxiety among interns from the Faculty of Business and Management, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Puncak Alam campus who underwent internship in Klang Valley. An online questionnaire was distributed to the interns, and 128 completed sets were responded to. The results found that there were positive correlations between workplace bullying, abusive supervision and interpersonal conflict on anxiety among the interns. The findings suggest that aggression in the workplace correlates with psychological disorders as it can cause the interns to experience psychological strain such as anxiety. In general, the research aims to contribute to a better understanding of workplace aggression and anxiety to mitigate these conundrums and foster a positive and supportive atmosphere for internship students. Furthermore, both organizations and interns need to have the knowledge and skills to prevent them from experiencing psychological illnesses. The implications of the study will be further discussed in the paper.

The increments of environmental, social, and governance-based investments have been seen recently by institutions or retail investors. The growth has increased rapidly since 2012. Some research gives a positive correlation between the ESG factor represented by ESG rating and company performance. PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy, Tbk. (PGEO), IPO on 24th February 2023 has outstanding ESG performance. It was audited by Sustainable Fitch and got the highest second rank, 77 out of 100 points. Not only is it exceptional ESG performance, but it also has excellent business performance. PGEO started its journey of geothermal utilization in 1974, upon discovering 70 geothermal areas in Indonesia as a sub-business of PT Pertamina EP. PGEO was established in 2006 to continue the efforts to produce clean and environmentally friendly energy, and as of now, it has contributed 82% of the installed geothermal energy capacity in Indonesia. It has the world’s most extensive geothermal installed capacity by December 2021 and promises to expand even more significantly in its prospectus. Investors should consider their value rather than positive sentiment as an investment decision. Then, this study determines whether the PGEO price is undervalued or overvalued considering their project expansion and ESG factor. This study utilizes secondary data from prospectuses, financial statements, annual reports, sustainability reports, company-published documents, and data from IDX.co.id and stockbit.com. The data was gathered and processed to understand the need to expand, analyze its financial performance, and value the company. The author considers company ESG performance to develop financial projections. To fulfill company promises in expansion and stay sustained by adding more production, injection, and startup wells, it needs 1.588.612.527 USD using ESG-based financing. The historical financial performance of PGEO is quite good, but the investor should be careful about its liquidity since the current liability is more significant than its current asset. Based on the calculation of absolute valuation using discounted cash flow, the value of each share of PGEO is Rp12.686,00, which is undervalued, and its IPO price is Rp875,00. Based on relative valuation using PER to its peers and average industry, PGEO’s price is overvalued. The PGEO price that pars with the industry average is Rp490,00. The author can determine the fundamental value of PGEO.
Pemodelan Text Mining dalam Pengkodean Penyakit Pasien Berdasar Kode ICD 10
Authors: Parjono Parjono , Kusumadewi Sri 
Published: September 2023

Pengkodean penyakit yang lazim dilakukan oleh Rumah Sakit adalah menggunakan 2 metode, yang pertama adalah klinisi/ dokter menuliskan numenklatur penyakit berdasarkan kode ICD-10 dengan panduan kamus ICD-10 yang dapat berupa elektronik maupun buku. Metode kedua adalah klinisi/ dokter menulis secara free-text kemudian petugas koding dari rekam medis yang memberikan kode penyakit berdasar kode ICD-10 dan apabila ada hal yang sekiranya diragukan, petugas koding akan mengkonfirmasi ke dokter yang merawat pasien. Dari kebanyakan diagnosis medis yang berupa deskripsi free-text, kemiripan makna serta istilah medis yang memiliki kekhususan daripada istilah umum akan menjadi tantangan tersendiri dalam mengekstrak informasi yang berada di dalamnya. Hal ini yang mendorong penulis untuk membuat pendekatan koding penyakit dengan pememodelkan Text Mining dalam membantu pengkodean penyakit tersebut melalui data diagnosis dokter sehingga diharapkan proses pengkodean penyakit menjadi lebih cepat dan mengurangi aspek human error khususnya untuk penyakit di Indonesia. Metode pendekatan yang diterapkan adalah Clinical Text Mining dengan Natural Language Processing dimana metode ini dirasa paling tepat untuk mengekstraksi informasi dari diagnosis dokter yang tidak terstruktur. Data diambil dari Rumah Sakit bagian poliklinik penyakit dalam sejumlah 3787 data dengan 5 kategori kode ICD 10 yakni E11.9 Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications, I10 Essential (primary) hypertension, I11.9 Hypertensive heart disease without (congestive) heart failure, K21.9 Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease without oesophagitis, K30 Functional dyspepsia dengan pembagian komposisi data untuk training dan testing adalah 70:30 proses ekstraksi melalui tahapan case folding, contraction untuk pencocokan dengan kamus singkatan, tokenization, stop word removal dan menggunakan word2vec untuk proses konversi kata yang berupa karakter alphanumeric kedalam bentuk vector dari hasil pemodelan menggunakan Neural Network didapatkan nilai performa model cukup baik yakni memiliki akurasi 86.8%.

Covid-19 in Brazil: Political controversies over social isolation measures to control the pandemic. A science vs. antiscience dispute?
Authors: Batista de Oliveira Monique , Said Vieira Miguel , Synesio Alves Monteiro Marko , Akerman Marco 
Published: September 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has narrowed the relationship between scientists and leaders around the world, with challenging decisions shared by both areas. Social isolation measures in Brazil as a way to control Sars-CoV-2 cases were involved in an intense political debate. Our aim in this article is to establish whether this dispute can be perceived as a science vs. antiscience controversy. In order to do so, we used criteria based on the Social Studies of Science and Technology (STS), which understands science fact as co-produced by social legitimation and influential actors, and Collins & Pinch approach to define an antiscientific discourse. By searches in the press and Twitter, from the first case of Sars-CoV-2 in Brazil — 25 February 2020 — until the 26th of April, we found three important political actors in the social isolation debate: 1) João Doria, governor of São Paulo; 2) Henrique Mandetta, ministry of Health; 3) Jair Bolsonaro, president of Brazil. Although there were different approaches in relation to science, with actor (1) dialoguing with an elite scientific community, actor (2) avoiding the debate initially, and referring to a more insulated science with selective debates; and actor (3) having a science-related populism approach, the investigation concluded that social isolation measures debate in Brazil were not polarized as a science vs. antiscience debate. Science and its symbolic authority were used by all actors to legitimate their positions, and, for this reason, we believe it would be very difficult for the general public to analyze whether these actors were using good quality evidence to support their positions. Further studies can invest in the analysis of social consensus production beyond scientific claims.
