Published: March 2022

New venture creations have been considered as importance for the economic growth of any country because of its contribution to the Gross Domestic Production, diversification of local economy, employment generation, creation of innovations and value additions. Though a large number of new venture creations occur every year in Sri Lanka, recent research findings highlighted that a smaller percentage from those were able to grow and survive. Hence, number of business establishments cannot be considered as a meaningful indicator of economic growth of the country and why such a high failure rate was reported has become a crucial issue. Past studies revealed that business startup motives of the entrepreneur effect on the growth and survival of the SMEs. However, concentration on the impact of business startup motives on the success and survival of newly established ventures is lacking. Further, Entrepreneurial Orientation plays a crucial role in directing the business towards success. However, still there is a gap in the literature relating to the mediating role of the entrepreneurial orientation in the link between start-up motives and new venture success. Therefore, present study attempted to answer the research questions as; is there a significant relationship between the business startup motives and growth expectations; is there a significant difference exists in growth expectations between the necessity driven and opportunity driven entrepreneurs; and whether Entrepreneurial Orientation plays a mediating role. Independent Sample T test and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were applied to test the hypotheses based on a sample of 120 micro and small-scale entrepreneurs from Southern province of Sri Lanka. Findings revealed that there is a significant difference between the necessity driven entrepreneurs and opportunity driven entrepreneurs in terms of proactiveness, competitive aggressiveness, and autonomy. Results show that there is no any significant difference exist in growth expectations between the necessity driven entrepreneurs and opportunity driven entrepreneurs and Entrepreneurial Orientation partially mediates the relationship between business startup motives and growth expectations.

Many countries rich in natural resources lack sustainable resource management under economic utilization has become a common global issue. However, obtaining the right compensation for natural resources and long-term benefits from resource-related wealth has become a timely requirement. Therefore, the current paper aims to discuss both the economic importance and impact of value addition to Sri Lankan Eppawala rock phosphate (non-renewable resource) via innovative commercial products with a variety of economic benefits to Sri Lanka.
For that, Eppawala High Grade Rock Phosphate was successfully converted into Eppawala Hydroxyapatite ceramic types with several properties and applications using chemical processes including; solid - state sintering, sol-gel acidified and alcoholic routes, products were analyzed using several characterization techniques to obtain their chemical and physical properties. Next, it was incorporated with Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) and 2- hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) liquid monomers to obtain their composites. Processed composites were analyzed to find out their applicability on biomedical applications, compared and contrasted their properties with currently using commercial bone cement and dental filling material in clinicals. Furthermore, novel product manufacturing costs were compared and contrasted with the raw material costs and commercial product costs to find out Economic impact.
Results show that Synthesized Eppawala Hydroxyapatite product types can be applied directly as bioceramic material due to its similar characteristics to human hard tissues and its manufacturing cost is lower compared to synthetic Hydroxyapatite commercial product in the market. Processed Eppawala Hydroxyapatite composites are also low cost, can be applied to biomedical applications in the fields of orthopedics, dentistry, profitable than manufacturing fertilizers, and can be exported into the global market and local high-cost imports can be reduced. Considering better performance, low cost and eco-friendliness, novel composites can be applied clinically, export to global market and get much better foreign income into the country and by doing, improve living standards in Sri Lankan citizens.

Abstrak. Perkawinan campuran antara dua budaya yang berbeda yakni budaya China dengan budaya Melayu, membentuk budaya dan tradisi baru. Di mana budaya memberikan identitas pada setiap individu, hubungan keduanya penting untuk dipahami dalam menyampaikan pesan. Dalam perkawinan melayu Bangka terdapat simbol-simbol komunikasi budaya yang tersirat makna di dalamnya. Dengan menggunakan analisis etnometodologi melalui penafsiran-penafsiran makna dari setiap narasumber dengan tujuan untuk mendeskripsikan makna dari setiap prosesi dan perlengkapan dalam adat perkawinan Bangka sebagai media komunikasi tradisional masyarakat Bangka. Berdasarkan temuan hasil penelitian, ditemukan bahwa tradisi perkawinan adat Melayu Bangka masih dipelihara oleh masyarakat Bangka meski dalam prakteknya terjadi pengeseran dan pengembangan tapi meski begitu tidak mengurangi nilai pesan yang ingin disampaikan dari setiap penggunaaan simbol-simbol dalam upacara ritual perkawinan adat Melayu Bangka. Dari setiap simbol prosesi adat perkawinan melayu Bangka melalui delapan tahap tersebut mengandung pesan yang menyiratkan bagi pasangan tersebut dalam memasuki rumah tangga agar menjadi keluarga yang sakinah dan terhindar dari hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan dan pada saat menjalani kehidupan rumah tangga baik sebelum pelaksanaan atau pun sesudah pelaksanaan perkawinan. Prosesi itu juga mengajarkan nilai-nilai penting dalam interaksi sosial dalam subsistem baru di masyarakat.Kata Kunci: perkawinan, adat, tradisi, media, tradisional
