Published: June 2023

Purpose: This study aims to investigate if the online touchpoints (e-mail and mobile app) of the leading energy provider in Malaysia and customer effort were significantly different by customer types, name, government and local authorities, businesses, and domestic users.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study uses a primary data set of 281 and 1156 respondents with experience of using e-mail and mobile apps. A stratified sampling technique was used in the current study, and data were analyzed using IBM Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) 27.0 for Windows. Frequency, descriptive, reliability tests, and one-way analysis of variance tests was applied to the data.
Findings: The findings showed significant differences between one of the variables of e-mail (service quality) and three dimensions of the mobile app (informational, functional, and design quality) with three types of customers. The results also revealed no significant differences between customer types and effort for both online touchpoints.
Conclusion: The findings from this study will benefit the managers or practitioners of a leading energy firm and other firms in the energy sector to strategize and utilize the online touchpoints (e-mail and mobile app) functions to serve their numerous types of customers better.
Research Limitations/Implications: The current study only focuses on a leading energy firm with two types of online touchpoints.
Practical Implications: The Practitioners will be able to enhance the capabilities of online touchpoints and use these tools to efficiently engage consumers and support customer experience, happiness, and loyalty.
Contribution to Literature: The current study contributes to the body of knowledge on online touchpoints and customer effort because past literature revealed a limited study on these areas, particularly in the energy sector.

Authors: Apriany  , Evi Martha  
Published: June 2023

Latar belakang: Kanker serviks seringkali tidak diketahui penderitanya pada fase awal melainkan pada stadium lanjut dan sulit untuk disembuhkan. Pencegahan kanker serviks dapat dilakukan dengan deteksi dini dan menghindari faktor risiko. Salah satu deteksi dini kanker yang mudah dan murah dilakukan dengan metode pemeriksaan IVA. Keikutsertaan wanita usia subur dalam pemeriksaan IVA disebabkan persepsi mengenai kerentanan, keseriusan terhadap penyakit, manfaat, hambatan dan dorongan untuk melakukan pemeriksaan tsb.
Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi Wanita Usia Subur terhadap deteksi dini kanker serviks dengan metode pemeriksaan IVA di Puskesmas Cinere.
Metode: Desain studi penelitian ini kualitatif menggunakan pendekatan teori Health Belief Model. Informan dalam penelitian berjumlah 15 orang terdiri dari wanita usia subur yang datang ke Puskesmas Cinere berjumlah 12 orang terbagi dalam 2 kelompok yaitu 1 kelompok yang melakukan pemeriksaan IVA dan kelompok yang tidak melakukan pemeriksaan IVA. Triangulasi sumber oleh 2 orang petugas tenaga kesehatan puskesmas dan 1 orang Petugas Penanggulangan Kanker Terpadu (PKTP­).
Hasil: Wanita usia subur yang memiliki pengetahuan yang baik mengenai kanker serviks dan pemeriksaan IVA cenderung melakukan pemeriksaan IVA. Sebagian besar Wanita Usia Subur mengatakan manfaat pemeriksaan IVA untuk deteksi dini kanker seviks namun persepsi bahwa diri sehat, melakukan hubungan seksual yang sehat dan rasa takut pada prosedur serta hasil pemeriksaan IVA menjadi hambatan untuk melakukan deteksi dini. Dorongan terbesar untuk melakukan pemeriksaan IVA adalah kesadaran diri sendiri, dorongan suami dan informasi dari petugas kesehatan
Kesimpulan: Wanita usia subur yang melakukan pemeriksaan IVA dengan yang tidak melakukan pemeriksaan IVA memiliki pengetahuan, persepsi kerentanan serta persepsi ancaman terhadap penyakit kanker serviks yang berbeda. Persepsi hambatan pada kelompok yang tidak melakukan pemeriksaan IVA lebih besar diyakini daripada persepsi manfaat. Hal itu tidak lepas dari pengetahuan wanita usia subur yang diperoleh. Dorongan dari keluarga dan tenaga kesehatan lebih mempengaruhi dibandingkan media sosial untuk melakukan pemeriksaan IVA.

Language Mathematics and Mathematics Language, Reading from Computational Linguistics
Authors: Mezhoud Salim 
Published: June 2023

The language of mathematics is the system used by mathematicians to communicate mathematical ideas among themselves. This language consists of a substrate of some natural language using technical terms and grammatical conventions that are peculiar to mathematical discourse, supplemented by a highly specialized symbolic notation for mathematical formulas.
mathematical characterizations of various notions of linguistic complexity include also computational linguistics, philosophical logic, knowledge representation as a branch of artificial intelligence, theoretical computer science, and computational psychology. Mathematical linguistics has initially served as a foundation for computational linguistics, though its research agenda of designing machines to simulate natural language understanding is clearly more applied. Inductive methods have gained the upper hand in applied computational linguistics
The question is whether mathematics is a language, or that language is mathematical, and how computational linguistics employs language as mathematics.
KATILIM HAKKININ TEMELİ: KÖY KANUNU
Authors: DALGIÇ Irmak 
Published: June 2023

21. yüzyılda kamu yönetimi anlayışında yaşanan dönüşüm, demokrasi, katılım, şeffaflık gibi kavramları beraberinde getirmiştir. Birbirini destekleyen niteliğe sahip bu kavramlardan katılım, temsili demokrasi anlayışının yetersiz kalmasıyla birlikte daha önemli hale gelmiş; karar verme ve uygulama süreçlerine doğrudan katılımın önemi ulusal ve uluslararası metinlerde vurgulanmaya başlanmıştır. Ancak katılımcı demokrasi vurgusu yapılmaya başlanmadan çok önceleri ülkemizde 1924 tarih ve 442 sayılı Köy Kanunu yayınlanmıştır. Nüfusun yüzde 75’inin köylerde yaşadığı bu dönemde yayınlanan Kanun, katılımcılık ve demokrasi kavramlarının temelini oluşturuyor niteliktedir. Muhtar, ihtiyar meclisi ve köy derneği şeklinde üç organdan bahseden Kanuna göre karar alma organları seçimle belirlenmekte ve seçmenler köy derneğinin doğal üyesi sayılmaktadır. Cumhuriyet tarihinin en eski kanunlarından biri olan bu Kanunun 2009 yılında yayınlanan Köy Kanunu Tasarısı Taslağıyla revize edilmesi amaçlanmış, köy dernekleri bu taslakta yer almamıştır. Katılımcı niteliği gereği dünyada örnek olacak bu kurumun daha da geliştirilmesi gerekirken kaldırılmaya çalışılması kamu yönetiminin geçirdiği dönüşüme uygun değildir.
Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı öncelikle katılım, katılım hakkı ve yerel yönetimlere ilişkin kavramsal çerçeve çizildikten sonra katılım hakkının temellerini incelemektir. Günümüzde göz ardı edilmeye başlanmış Köy Kanununun ve yeni çalışmalarda yer almayan köy derneklerinin katılım hakkının kullanımında oynadığı role ilişkin bir tartışma yürütülecektir. Köy Kanunu ve köy dernekleri çalışmaları literatürde yer alsa da katılım hakkı kapsamında değerlendirme yapılan bir çalışmaya rastlanamamıştır. Dolayısıyla özgün bir niteliğe sahip bu çalışmanın amacı katılımcılık hakkının temelinde yer alan bir yerel yönetim birimi kanunu olan Köy Kanunun önemine ve bu Kanunun çağdaş ihtiyaçlara göre yeniden şekillendirilmesine vurgu yapmaktır.
SPATIAL TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION AMONGST AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK COMMUNITY BASED AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME BENEFICIARIES IN NIGERIA
Authors: A.Y Nura 
Published: June 2023

Improved technology adoption for agricultural transformation and poverty reduction is critical in modern day agriculture. The study examined spatial distribution of technology adoption among African Development Bank-Community Based Agriculture and Rural Development Programme (AfDB-CBARDP) beneficiaries in Nigeria. Multi stage sampling procedure was employed where a total of 1020 farmers/Project beneficiaries across the 5 project implementing units (PIU) were selected. The data was estimated using descriptive statistics. The result obtained indicated that the mean value across the states for improved seed, post-harvest, dry season and fertilizer application technologies adoption stood at 83.7%, 81.9%, 75.8% and 51.8%. Similarly, the mean adoption rates for improved livestock, and fisheries technologies were reported to be 68.7%, and 50.6%, respectively. On a state-by-state basis, the weighted mean rates of adoption for all the agricultural technologies indicated that Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe, Kaduna and Kwara have 58.0%, 70.2%, 66.9%, 67.7 and 50.0% respectively. The findings of the study revealed that the mean adoption rate among females Project beneficiaries for post-harvest technologies like multi-purpose threshers, rice dehaulers, rice milling, groundnut extractors, hammer milling machines and grinding machines were appreciably higher having percentage values of 66.3%, 56.2%, 70.1%, 60.1%, 59.1% and 54.9% respectively. In the same vein, distribution of technology adoption reveals that adoption of seed, fertilizer and post-harvest technologies ranked highest than fishery technologies across the Project implementing units. Technology adoption on gender basis further revealed that Groundnut, cowpea, and soybean technologies were highly adopted among participating male than female farmers. Concurrently, the study indicated an appreciable level of agricultural technology adoption across the Project implementing units. However, the mean adoption rate of Artificial Insemination technologies was low (25.5%) having fell short of the 40% before a farmer is considered to be an adopter. The study recommended among others that where the overall adoption rate is lower, further research is required to identify the key constraints to adoption so that corrective measures can be found which can be used to improve adoption of future AfDB-CBARDP supported technologies.

The study focused on perception of the effect of human insecurity on agricultural enterprises of rural dwellers in selected Local Government Areas of Oyo State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling was used to select 195 rural dwellers from the study area. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics while Chi-square and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were used as inferential tools. Results showed that, majority (84.10%) of the respondents were married with mean age of, household size and farming experience estimated at 48 years, 7 persons and 13 years, respectively. Major agricultural enterprises engaged in by the respondents were vegetables production (88.21%), arable crop production (69.74%) and marketing of agricultural products%. Also, respondents perceived destruction of crops by animals (79.49%), encroachment of other person’s farmland without permission (68.72%) and clashes between rival cult (52.00%) as causes of human insecurity in the study area. Perception of the effect of human insecurity on agricultural enterprises showed that loss of human lives ranked 1st (= 4.78), human insecurity led to loss of house and properties ranked (= 4.52), human insecurity leads to reduced crop yield/productivity due to theft or burning of farm produce ranked (= 4.48). Among mitigating strategies adopted, provision of small-scale credit facilities was ranked 1st (= 4.21) and provision of health facilities for the stakeholders ranked 2nd (= 4.18) while counseling services for the stakeholders ranked 3rd ( = 3.96). There is a significant relationship between perception of the effect of human insecurity on agricultural enterprises of the rural dwellers and agricultural enterprises practiced by the respondents. The study recommends that, government in collaboration with business owners and companies operating in these crisis prone areas should engage stakeholders (community leaders, youth leaders and other leaders of Community Based Organizations) in a town hall meeting and collectively come up with lasting solutions to human insecurity in the study area.

Published: June 2023

The study examined the performance of farmers’ cooperatives in Dukku local government area of Gombe State, Nigeria. Simple random sampling techniques was used in selecting 72 respondents from the study area. Data was collected using questionnaire. Sixty-three (63) questionnaires were returned and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The result revealed that all the respondents were married, with majority (93.7%) being males. About 38.1% of the respondents fell within the age bracket of 41-50 and farming was their major occupation (77.8%), with 50.8% of the respondents having above 20 years’ experience in farming. The study further showed that 45 of the respondents, representing 71.4% identified ‘encouragement of self-help and cooperation’ as the major benefit they derived as a result of their membership in cooperatives. Socio-economic factors such as age, farm size and income were found to be significant (p˂0.05) factors influencing farmers’ access to cooperative loan. The study showed that ‘unavailability of loan to give out to members’ was the major constraint (88.9%) to loan accessibility by members of cooperatives. It was recommended that cooperative farmers be educated by extension workers on the need to pool the resources at their disposal and grant loans to members rather than wait for government loans.

The study assessed the contributions of watermelon production to welfare status of rural farming households in Oyo State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 265 farming households across Ibarapa Areas of Oyo State. Data were collected on respondent’s socio-economic characteristics, production characteristics and contributions of watermelon production to welfare status. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution, percentage and mean while inferential tools such as chi-square and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) were used for hypothesis testing at p≤0.05. Results indicate that majority (66.04%) of the respondents were married with mean age, household size, farming experience, farm size and income from watermelon production estimated at 44 years, 6 persons, 7.6 years, 6.2 hectares and ₦98,790.85, respectively. Respondents were strongly involved in land clearing (71.32%), planting operation (64.53%), watering (51.70%) and sorting of watermelon (50.19%). Benefits derived by respondents from watermelon production include additional income generation (82.64%), vitamin supplements (66.04%) among others. Contributions of watermelon production to welfare status as perceived by the respondents include expenditure of household items ( = 3.33), purchase of more farming inputs ( = 2.99) and acquisition of more farming tools ( = 2.95). Nearly half (47.55%) of the respondents perceived contributions of watermelon production to welfare status as high. Major constraints faced in watermelon production were high cost of input (1.73), inadequate capital (1.66) and poor seasonal rainfall (1.58). Significant relationship existed between perceived contributions of watermelon production to welfare status and benefit derived (r = 0.338) and level of involvement in watermelon production (r = 0.692). It was concluded from the study that watermelon contributes significantly to welfare status of the respondents in the study area. The study therefore recommends that farm input such as pesticides, fertilizers and planting materials should be made readily available at subsidized rate for watermelon farmers. This will improve their production and in the long run improves the welfare status of the farming households.
