Religiosité Chrétienne Et Durabilité Agricole : Une Analyse Corrélationnelle Des Pratiques Paysannes – Cas De Mahereza Madagascar
Get PDFCette étude explore la relation entre la religiosité chrétienne et les pratiques agricoles durables dans un contexte rural. Partant de l’hypothèse selon laquelle la spiritualité et les comportements écologiques peuvent être liés, la recherche examine comment différentes dimensions de la foi chrétienne - telles que la connaissance de la responsabilité envers la création, la sensibilité écologique, l’exposition aux enseignements bibliques, et les actions motivées par la foi - influencent les choix agricoles concrets, notamment la pratique de la jachère, l’utilisation d’engrais chimiques et de pesticides. À partir de données empiriques collectées auprès de 120 paysans de la commune de Mahereza, l’étude mobilise à la fois les corrélations de Pearson et de Spearman pour évaluer la nature et l’intensité des liens entre variables religieuses et comportements agricoles. Les résultats révèlent une corrélation positive significative entre la religiosité et l’exposition aux enseignements bibliques sur la création, ainsi qu’une corrélation négative marquée entre la sensibilité écologique et l’utilisation d’intrants chimiques. En revanche, la connaissance de la responsabilité chrétienne envers l’environnement ne se traduit pas systématiquement en comportements concrets, ce qui suggère un décalage entre conscience éthique et pratiques effectives. La corrélation de Spearman met en lumière des tendances monotones que l’analyse de Pearson ne capte pas toujours, soulignant l’intérêt d’approches non paramétriques dans l’étude des phénomènes socioreligieux. Cette recherche contribue au champ de l’écologie spirituelle en fournissant des données empiriques sur l’influence des valeurs religieuses sur les pratiques agroécologiques. Elle invite à renforcer l’intégration des enjeux environnementaux dans les formations religieuses pour soutenir une agriculture durable ancrée dans les convictions
Potential and Challenges in the Development of a People's Economy Towards Golden Indonesia 2045
Get PDFIndonesia has an ambitious goal to achieve the status of a developed country by 2045, known as "Golden Indonesia 2045." This achievement heavily relies on an inclusive and sustainable economic transformation, including the development of a people's economy. A people's economy is oriented towards empowering grassroots communities and aims to strengthen the well-being of the populace. This research aims to identify the potential and challenges faced by Indonesia in realizing a people's economy as part of the Golden Indonesia 2045 goal. The study uses a literature review method to analyze various relevant references on the concept of a people's economy, Indonesia's resource potential, and existing challenges. The analysis results indicate that although Indonesia has significant potential in the agriculture sector, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and natural resources, there are structural challenges such as economic inequality, uneven infrastructure, and dependence on the primary sector that need to be addressed to ensure the achievement of inclusive and sustainable economic development by 2045. This research suggests policies that support economic equity, increase access to technology and education, and promote even infrastructure development.Keywords: Golden Indonesia 2045, Economic Potential, Economic Challenges, People's Econom
The Role Of Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) In The Development Of Nyarai Tourism Village
Get PDFThe purpose of this article is to examine community empowerment, which is a set of efforts in the implementation of tourism sustainability that encourages communities to explore the potential of tourism in their area. In the world of tourism, an example is Pokdarwis (tourism awareness group). Community-based tourism is the concept of managing tourism by prioritizing the active participation of the community with the aim of providing for their well-being while maintaining the quality of the environment and protecting their social and cultural life. One of the main attractions in Nyarai Tourism Village is the Nyarai Waterfall and Nyarai Ecotourism Area, which is a village icon in the Gamaran Forest area and is visited by many local and foreign tourists. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through interviews with relevant stakeholders, field observations, and a literature review. From the findings of the study, it can be concluded that the role of Pokdarwis in the development of Nyarai Tourism Village and the realization of Sapta Pesona (elements of safe, orderly, clean, cool, beautiful, friendly, and memorable) in Nyarai Tourism Village is going well
Trapped but Aware: Understanding Locked-In Syndrome and Its Treatments
Get PDFLocked-In Syndrome (LIS) is a rare neurological disorder with quadriplegia and anarthria accompanied by the preservation of cognitive function and vertical eye movement. It results from injury to the ventral pons, most commonly by stroke, trauma, or demyelinating disease. LIS is very challenging to diagnose, and advanced neuroimaging techniques like fMRI, EEG, and CT scanning are required to differentiate it from coma and vegetative states. The quality of life is relatively good for most LIS patients, especially with regard to the availability of assistive communication devices and psychological counseling, despite the motor disabilities being catastrophic. The management of LIS also includes neurorehabilitation, which consists of physical therapy aimed at avoiding complications such as muscle atrophy and deep venous thrombosis, combined with mental fortitude, communication, and cognitive enhancement therapies. Emerging technologies, including brain-computer interfaces and neural implants, show immense potential for boosting autonomy. Ethical considerations involving patient autonomy and end-of-life decisions are still complex, with the majority of LIS patients initially expressing a wish for hastened death but later accepting their situation. Advances in neuroimaging, electrophysiology, assistive technologies, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation have significantly improved the outcomes of LIS patients. Societal myths and ethical issues continue to impact clinical care. Individualized rehabilitation strategies and further incorporation of neuroprosthetic solutions are areas where future research must be focused to encourage patient independence and quality of life.Keywords: Locked-in Syndrome, quadriplegia, neuroimaging, electrophysiology, brain-computer interface, quality of life, neurorehabilitation, patient autonomy, assistive technology, ethical considerations
Identification of Upweling in the Transition Season as a Basis for Estimating Potential Areas for Fishing mackerel in West Sumatra
Get PDFThe upwelling phenomenon can be utilized in determining potential fishing grounds, which can be identified through oceanographic phenomena such as sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a, and ocean currents. This study aims to analyze the occurrence of upwelling as a basis for estimating potential macarel fishing grounds in the waters of West Sumatra. The results indicate variability in sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a concentration, and currents, fluctuating between 2nd Transitional Season and 1st Transitional Season, with upwelling identified as low to very low. Multiple linear regression analysis reveals that sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a, and currents significantly influence macarel catch rates, with a strong correlation between sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a in relation to potential fishing areas. In conclusion, upwelling in the waters of West Sumatra is influenced by the variability of these oceanographic parameters, and a strong relationship exists between sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a with the potential for macarel fishing
Navigating Asymmetric Interdependence: s Neoliberal Institutionalist Perspective on ASEAN-China Ties
Get PDFIn the dynamic geopolitical landscape of Southeast Asia, the relationship between ASEAN and China has emerged as a pivotal strategic partnership. This paper analyzes how ASEAN manages the asymmetric interdependence stemming from disparities in economic and political power, addressing the central research question: How can ASEAN effectively navigate this relationship through regional institutions? This topic is significant as it reveals the diplomatic strategies ASEAN employs in the face of uneven power dynamics. The study examines key mechanisms, such as ASEAN+3, the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which have been underexplored in addressing asymmetric interdependence. Using a qualitative research approach grounded in liberal institutionalism theory, the analysis is based on secondary data from policy documents and relevant literature.mFindings indicate that these institutions are vital in establishing norms and frameworks that enhance interaction between ASEAN and China while minimizing conflict risks. Additionally, ASEAN's use of soft power diplomacy is discussed in shaping China's regional behavior, emphasizing principles such as ASEAN centrality and peaceful dispute resolution.nThe conclusion highlights that strengthening regional institutions enables ASEAN to better manage its relationship with China despite asymmetric interdependence. This research illustrates that diplomatic strategies and multilateral cooperation are essential for promoting stability and collaboration in Southeast Asia

Incidence De La Strategie D’optimisation Fiscale Sur Les Indicateurs De Gestion D’une Entreprise En Difficulte
Get PDFoai:ojs.ijpsat.org:article/7556Cet article vérifie la rumeur selon laquelle, la plupart des entreprises publiques en RDC sont des « canards boiteux ». C’est à travers la méthode inductive qui nous a permis d’examiner un cas particulier afin de tirer des conclusions objectives sur le général, nous avons mis le cap sur l’ONATRA SA, une entreprise publique transformée en société commerciale. Après analyse de ses indicateurs de performance financiers à l’occurrence : la rentabilité économique, la rentabilité financière, et le résultat d’exploitation, nous sommes arrivés à la conclusion selon laquelle l’ONATRA SA est une entreprise en difficulté car tous les indicateurs interrogés sont au rouge. La méthode d’analyse en composante principale (ACP), nous a permis de dégager à travers la régression quantile un Pseudo R² de 0,47 soit 47 % d’impact entre la variable indépendante « fiscalité » et la variable dépendante « rentabilité ». Résultat qui nous a permis de confirmer l’hypothèse selon laquelle la stratégie d’optimisation fiscale est une solution efficace pour la relance économique de l’ONATRA SA car son impact sur les indicateurs de gestion est sensible

Foresterie Urbaine : Etat Des Connaissances Et Perspectives De Recherche En Afrique
Get PDFL'objectif de ce travail est de faire le point sur les différents travaux de recherche menés sur la foresterie urbaine en Afrique afin d'en identifier les aspects les plus pertinents et les plus superficiels. Les connaissances existantes (origine, définition, typologie, thème étudié) sur la foresterie urbaine ont été identifiées et des axes de recherche potentiels pour contribuer au développement durable des villes africaines ont été identifiés. Cette étude met en lumière un focus sur les recherches menées dans un nombre limité de pays en développement, tant en volume qu'en qualité, par rapport aux pays développés. L'Afrique dispose d'informations sur la biodiversité urbaine, les services écosystémiques et la gestion des arbres urbains, mais ces informations sont insuffisantes pour servir de levier de développement, à l'instar de ce qui a été fait dans les pays développés pour un développement durable par l'urbanisation planifiée. Pour l'Afrique développée, une appropriation des différents concepts liés à la gestion durable des forêts urbaines et à l'urbanisation est indispensable. Cette approche contribuera à réduire les nombreux problèmes écologiques auxquels sont confrontées les villes et à stimuler leur développement durable.Mots-clés : Forêt urbaine ; service ; écosystème ; développement ; Afriqu
