Intrapreneurship as a transformational strategy in non-profit organizations, including libraries, requires special arrangements through improvement of employees’ cooperation and tendency to entrepreneurial activities. Organizational empowerment is a mechanism which not only influences the staff’s attitude toward the organization through creating/enhancing loyalty, value congruence, and affective commitment but also leads to self-empowerment. Consequently, it seems that organizational empowerment in librarians can be one of the contextual factors which can directly lead to more intrapreneurship in libraries. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the status of organizational empowerment, intrapreneurship and the effect of organizational empowerment on intrapreneurship in the university libraries of Iran. The research population of this questionnaire-based survey consisted of 105 individuals who come from two different classes of librarians in two top universities in Iran. Participants were selected from each class through stratified random sampling. The findings demonstrated that organizational empowerment and intrapreneurship did not enjoy adequate status within these two university libraries. In addition, the effect of organizational empowerment on intrapreneurship was confirmed.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a university tobacco-free policy by examining differences in students’ attitudes, perceptions of compliance and policy benefits, after one year of the policy’s implementation.Methods: Cross-sectional studies were undertaken to collect data pre- and 1 year post-policy implementation. The two samples were selected using stratified random sampling.Results: The prevalence of smoking decreased from 26% pre-policy implementation to 21% 1 year after (p = 0.035). The proportion of smokers who thought the policy had contributed to a reduction in smoking frequency increased from 10% to 70% (p < 0.001). Smokers’ support for the policy rose from 42 to 58% (p = 0.007).Conclusion: Against the background of a strongly pro-tobacco environment in Lebanon, it is possible to create a positive change in the mindset of smokers at the levels of the education and smoking cessation and more efforts should be expended to bring it about.

Abstrak. Indonesia merupakan negara agraris karena mayoritas penduduknya bermata pencaharian sebagai petani. Tingginya pertambahan sehingga jumlah penduduk yang bertambah tidak sebanding dengan luas lahan yang tetap. Akibatnya lahan pertanian banyak dialih fungsikan menjadi areal non pertanian. Pada tahun 2017 rata-rata luas lahan yang dikuasai per RTP yaitu 2.589 m2. Akibatnya petani yang memiliki lahan sempit atau bahkan tidak memiliki lahan sawah sendiri akan memilih menggarap lahan sawah orang lain untuk menambah pendapatannya. Hal ini menyebabkan munculnya status penguasaan lahan petani pemilik penggarap, penyewa, penyakap dan pemegang gadai. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pendapatan yang diperoleh pada usahatani padi sawah berdasarkan status penguasaan lahan petani pemilik-penggarap, petani penyakap, petani penyewa dan petani pemegang gadai di Kecamatan Meureudu Kabupaten Pidie Jaya. Penentuan lokasi penelitian ini dilakukan secara sengaja (purposive sampling). Selanjutnya teknik pengambilan sampel ditentukan dengan cara stratified random sampling. Pengambilan sampel berdasarkan sistem penguasaan lahan sebesar 15%. Pengujian hipotesis dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis biaya produksi, penerimaan, pendapatan, R/C Ratio dan Break Event Point (BEP). Hasil analisis pendapatan tertinggi yaitu pada petani dengan status lahan milik sebesar Rp. 8.322.235 /Ha/MT, selanjutnya pendapatan petani dengan status lahan sewa yaitu sebesar Rp. 8.201.947 /Ha/MT. Sedangkan pendapatan petani dengan status lahan gadai sebesar Rp. 8.075.218/Ha/MT. Pendapatan terendah yaitu pada status lahan sakap mencapai Rp. 8.029.151/Ha/MT. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan R/C Usahatani padi sawah beririgasi pada petani pemilik-penggarap dan petani penyewa lebih menguntungkan dibandingkan dengan petani pemegang gadai dan petani penyakap.Analisys of Rice Farmers Incomes Based on Irrigated Land Tenure Status in The Sub-District of Meureudu Pidie Jaya RegencyAbstract. Indonesia is an agrarian country as the majority of the population worked as farmers. A significant population growth is not comparable with the availability of land area. Therefore, many of agricultural lands have been converted into non-agricultural areas. In 2017, the average of land area was controlled by RTP and reached 2,589 m2. Hence, the farmer who own small land or landless farmer tends to cultivate land of others in order to get the income. Later, it comes up with the term of tenure status; farmer, tenant farmer, sharecropper, and pawn holder. The aim of this study is to know the income of farmer, tenant farmer, sharecropper, and pawn holder in rice farming business based on the tenure status at Meureudu, Pidie Jaya. The location of this study is determined by conducting purposive sampling method. The sampling technique is conducted by using stratified random sampling. The sample is selected based on the percentage of tenure system at 15%. The hypothesis testing is conducted by analyzing the production cost, revenue, income, R/C Ratio and Break Event Point (BEP). The findings indicate that the analysis of the highest income is earned by the farmers who own the land of Rp. 8.322.235/Ha/MT and then the income of tenant farmers with the status of rental land of Rp. 8.201.947/Ha/MT. While the income of farmers with pawn land status are Rp. 8.075.218/Ha/MT. The lowest income is earned by sharecroppers of Rp. 8.029.151/Ha/MT. Based on the calculation of R/C; the irrigated paddy farming on farmer and tenant farmers is more profitable than sharecroppers and pawn holders.

The use of advanced IT applications has enabled the university libraries to provide innovative library services to their patrons. While the general students are getting all required services from the libraries, the students with visual impairment have continued to face challenges in accessing the library collection. The technology to help overcome these challenges is available today in the form of assistive technology (AT). Unfortunately, a majority of the university libraries in the country do not have this technology in their libraries due to which a huge amount of information stored in the books and journals subscribed by them has become out of reach of the students with visual impairment. The present study was conducted to ascertain the status of AT to support students with visual impairment in university libraries. The study which has covered around 185 universities, provides the first systematic exploration of the status of AT in university libraries in India. The major findings of the study in context of university libraries in India are: 12.97 per cent having Braille Books in their collection; 22.70 per cent have made provision for AT for students with visual impairment; 22.70 per cent have accessible library websites; 21.08 per cent have designated staff members to serve the students with disabilities; 22.70 per cent have ‘written disability policy or ‘documented minutes’ related to the ‘library services for the students with disabilities’.
