Get PDFThis research aims to determine the influence of price, advertising attractiveness, celebrity endorsers, and consumer dissatisfaction with brand switching. The population of this study is people who live in the city of Mataram, Indonesia. This research recruits one hundred respondents using the purposive sampling technique. Due to the relatively small number of samples, this study considered analysis using SEM Analysis with the help of the Smart-PLS Program. The results showed a positive and significant influence of all independent variables: price, advertising attractiveness, celebrity endorser, and consumer dissatisfaction on brand switching. The results of this study can be a reference and consideration for companies in determining prices. In marketing smartphone products, companies must also carefully choose the correct public figure to become a brand ambassador because a figure's good image indirectly increases customer trust. The correct public figure must also be supported by advertising that is easily remembered and memorable for customers
A Convergent-Parallel Analysis on the Technical Assistance Provided by Information Technology Faculty Extensionists: Basis for Training and Extension Activities Plan
Get PDFThe study determined the satisfaction of the technical assistance conducted by faculty extensionists from a higher learning institution in Nueva Ecija, Philippines, during the academic year 2021-2022. It employed a mixed-method convergent-parallel method of study. It sought to describe the timeliness, quality of work, professionalism, courtesy, and achievement of the objectives of the technical assistance. Furthermore, it expressed the overall satisfaction of the beneficiaries with the conduct of the technical assistance using a quantitative approach. Qualitatively, using open-ended questions, the researchers analyzed the participants' responses using theme-generation techniques and identified the usefulness and impact of the technical assistance rendered to the employees and organization. The results generally revealed that the participants were satisfied with the service they received. A significant difference was seen in the level of difficulty experienced. The technical assistance provided has been practical. These participants' responses served as the basis for designing the college's training and extension development plan

Impact of Tax Incentives on Foreign Direct Investment Flow in Nigeria
Get PDFThe growing pace of the globalisation process has triggered economic development, especially among developing nations. One of the immediate responses to this phenomenon is the increasing trend of FDI flows among countries driven by some factors. This paper aimed at determining the impact of tax incentives (tax holiday and custom duty exemption) on FDI inflow into Nigeria over the period 2008-2018. Using secondary data obtained from the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission, Central Bank of Nigeria and Nigerian Customs Service, Driscoll-Kraay Standard Errors regression analysis was used via STATA version 14 to test the research hypothesis. The study's findings revealed that overall, tax incentive has a positive and significant impact on FDI inflow. Specifically, tax holiday has significant positive effect on FDI at 5% level of significance (β = 0.1578; t = 3.99; p < 0.05) while custom duties exemption reported significant positive effect on FDI at 1% level of significance (β = 0.2436; t =5.61; p<0.01). It is recommended that the government maintain and strengthen its policies on tax holidays and customs duties exemption to improve FDI inflow, thereby developing the national economy
Challenges Associated with Valuation of Private Hospital Properties in Jos, Nigeria
Get PDFVarious valuation models were developed to value different interests in land and landed property. Although the basis of valuation might be the same, the methodology may sometimes differ to capture certain peculiarities and attributes in respect of a particular property. The study looked into the difficulties of valuing specialised properties such as hospitals. The study's participants are registered estate survey and valuer firms in Jos, Plateau State. The researcher used a random sampling technique survey approach and administered questionnaires. Both primary and secondary data sources were used to complete this study. Based on this, the sample frame for this study was made up of Estate firms; a total of 19 Estate firms were sampled. The researcher used the Statistical Package for Social Science Students (SPSS) to analyse the data. According to the study, in the valuation of private hospitals in Jos, estate surveyors and valuers used the replacement cost method, while 20% used the investment method. Information on land value should be published in a real estate gazette to keep estate surveyors and valuers up to date on land value trends. The study suggests that plant, equipment, and furniture values be published in a real estate gazette to alleviate estate surveyors' and valuers' sufferings and reduce valuation value gaps
Понятие «тюркские диалекты» в средние века
Get PDFThe paper studies the concept of “Turkic dialects” in the historical language monuments of the Turkic people. The purpose of the study is to determine the history of the existence and formation of the concept “Turkic dialects” as the primary term in Turkic studies. The definition of this concept is a topical issue for Turkology in general. To observe the concept “Turkic dialects” in the XII-XIV centuries, there existed several dictionaries, in the XV-XVII centuries, there were neither dictionaries nor written sources that would allow presenting the concept “Turkic dialects” in all detail. The article notes that this period covers the times when the process of formation of modern Turkic languages was going on. In the study, comparative and historical-comparative methods of linguistics were used. The source of the research is ancient Turkic dictionaries. In conclusion, it should be noted that the dialect-speaking complex that formed the Turkic languages was formed precisely at the end of the Middle Ages. Therefore, it is possible to “restore” the picture of the dialect-speaking complex representing the dialects of the Turkic language of the 15-17th centuries, especially the “sketches” of the modern Turkic languages based on the dialectological panorama of today’s Turkic languages.В рамках исследования рассматривается понятие «тюркские диалекты» в исторических языковых памятниках тюркских народов. Цель исследования – определить историю существования и образования понятия «тюркские диалекты» как основной термин в тюркологии. Определение данного понятия является актуальной темой для тюркологии в целом. Для наблюдения за понятием «тюркские диалекты» в XII-XIV веках существовало несколько словарей, в XV-XVII веках не было ни словарей, ни письменных источников, которые позволили бы представить его (тюркские диалекты) во всех деталях. В статье отмечается, что этот период охватывает времена, когда шел процесс становления современных тюркских языков. В ходе исследования были использованы исторически-сравнительный, сравнительно-сопоставительный и историко-сопоставительный методы лингвистики. Источником исследования являются такие древнетюркские словари. В заключении отмечается, что диалектно-говорной комплекс, сформировавший тюркские языки, сложился именно в конце средних веков. Поэтому «восстановить» картину диалектно-говорного комплекса, представляющего диалекты «тюркского» XV-XVII веков, особенно «эскизы» современных тюркских языков, возможно на основе диалектологической панорамы сегодняшних тюркских языков
Synthetic Modification of Sunflower Oil
Get PDFThis report is based on the synthesis of thermoset resins from sunflower oil. Sunflower oil with an iodine value of 120 g I / 100 g oil containing 30 % oleic acid and 59 % linoleic acid was epoxidized by reaction with a peroxy acid (formed in-situ by the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and formic acid). The ratio of ethylenic unsaturation to hydrogen peroxide to formic acid used was 1:1.5:0.5. The maximum conversion of iodine generated was 82.45 % for seven h of epoxidation at 65 °C, and the oxirane oxygen content at that same condition was 4.6 %. Thermoset resins synthesized from sunflower oil were further modified using acrylic acid. All the resins generated were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy. The results showed that the generated resins could be used in composite production for automobile, construction, and furniture applications

Організаційні аспекти фінансового забезпечення агропромислового комплексу: досвід розвинених країн
Get PDFThe research aims to study the organizational aspects of financial support for the agro-industry of developed countries and to determine the possibilities of their implementation in Ukraine. The article analyzes the experience of state and credit financing of the agro-industry of developed countries (using the example of the United States of America, countries of the European Union, Canada and Japan); their positive features and possibilities of implementation of this experience for Ukraine are highlighted. Studying the experience of financial support of the agro-industry of developed countries, we can conclude that they have developed specific systems for servicing agricultural production. This is caused, first of all, by the peculiarities of this sphere of economy, namely the need to eliminate the phenomenon of economic crises that arise for various reasons: cyclical economic development or socio-economic instability. State support of the foreign agro-industry in multiple countries has positive consequences. However, it is impossible to apply a separate instrument of state support in Ukraine based on foreign experience for various reasons. Firstly, in the EU and other developed countries, the agricultural sector is characterized by the overproduction of farm products. On the other hand, in Ukraine, it is necessary to increase the production of domestic farm products. Secondly, before deciding to increase state support for the agro-industry, it is essential to take into account the level of the budget deficit, for which Ukraine is unlikely to be able to take specific measures compared to other countries. In addition, it is worth taking into account the significant losses of the agro-industrial complex as a result of military operations on the territory of Ukraine and the redistribution of the state budget to minimize these consequences. Without available budget funds, it is impossible to ensure the proper level of development of the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy.Мета – дослідження організаційних аспектів фінансового забезпечення агропромислового комплексу розвинених країн та визначення можливостей їх імплементації в Україні. В статті проаналізовано досвід державного та кредитного фінансування агропромислового комплексу розвинених країн (на прикладі Сполучених Штатів Америки, країн Європейського Союзу, Канади та Японії); виділено їх позитивні риси та можливості імплементації цього досвіду для України. Вивчаючи досвід фінансового забезпечення агропромислового комплексу розвинених країн, можна зробити висновок, що в них склалися специфічні системи обслуговування сільськогосподарського виробництва. Це зумовлено, перш за все, особливостями даної сфери економіки, а саме необхідністю усунення явища економічних криз, які виникають з різних причин: циклічність економічного розвитку чи соціально-економічна нестабільність. Державна підтримка іноземного агропромислового комплексу в різних країнах має свої позитивні наслідки. Проте, з різних причин застосувати окремий інструмент державної підтримки в Україні на основі зарубіжного досвіду неможливо. По-перше, в країнах ЄС та інших розвинутих країнах світу аграрний сектор характеризується перевиробництвом сільськогосподарської продукції. З іншого боку, в Україні необхідно нарощувати виробництво вітчизняної сільськогосподарської продукції. По-друге, перш ніж прийняти рішення про посилення державної підтримки агропромислового комплексу, необхідно взяти до уваги рівень дефіциту бюджету, за якого Україна навряд чи зможе вжити певних заходів порівняно з іншими країнами. Окрім цього, варто брати до уваги значні втрати агропромислового комплексу внаслідок воєнних дій на території України та перерозподіл державного бюджету на мінімізацію цих наслідків. Без наявних бюджетних коштів забезпечити належний рівень розвитку аграрного сектора економіки України нереально
