Entrepreneurial Activities

This study seeks to explore with keen understanding of personal hurdles as revealed by owner-managers from two rural settings of the Northern Cape Province (NCP). The study focuses on personal hurdles that according to literature contributes to the growing failure of entrepreneurial activities. Personal hurdles were assessed using “Statistical Package for the Social Science” (SPSS). A survey method is utilized in gathering primary dataset, descriptive analysis and frequency tables were used to assess all the basic variables including the personal hurdles of owner-managers. Factor analysis was utilized as a determinant of personal hurdles. Formulated hypotheses for the study were tested by the inferential statistic of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Relationships between dependent (rural entrepreneurial failures) and independent variables (resources, information and infrastructure gaps) were ascertained through the Pearson Correlation techniques. The study revealed that the resource gaps affect rural entrepreneurial failure (REF)On the other hand, information and infrastructure do not have significant effect on REF.A moderate positive linear correlation between resource gap and REF was detected. Furthermore, there is a low positive linear correlation between REF and the two independent variables (information and infrastructure gaps) were detected.

National Disaster Management Agency of Indonesia recorded 3,406 disasters events during in Indonesia reached. Research suggest that people who lived in the disasters prone area such as need to be well prepared both physically and psychologically in order to reduce the risk of disaster and ensure that the people are resilience. One of disasters prone area in east part of Java island is East Java Province. In East Java total of disasters occurred are 1537 case. Therefore, it is important to identify their psychological preparedness and resilience in this region. Thus, this study aims to determine whether there is a correlation between resilience with psychological preparedness for disaster. This research was conducted among Airlangga University Health Faculty Students in Surabaya, East Java. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The scale used are Brief Resilience Scale and Psychological Preparedness for Potential Disasters Scale.

Aims: Farmers of Bangladesh use a less amount of urea fertilizer compared to the nutrient requirement and soil fertility status.  Hence, a significant gap between actual and recommended doses of fertilizers used by farmers have been reported in many instances. Therefore, this study assessed farmers’ performance towards fertilizer application, and explored the contribution of selected characteristics on that performance. Study Design: This study employed a cross-sectional survey method using a correlational and descriptive research design. Place and Duration of the Study: The study was conducted in twenty-one villages of Gaibandha district in Bangladesh during 17 July, 2017 to 20 September, 2017. Methodology: A total of 355 farmers were selected as sample using multistage random sampling. Data, collected using structured questionnaire, were subjected to descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression for describing the level of selected variables, their relationships and their contributions on farmers’ performance, respectively. Results: Most (45.9%) of the farmers had high level of performance regarding fertilizer application. Farmers’ age, household size, educational level, farm size, training received, extension media contact, knowledge and attitudes of farmers had positive and significant relationship with their fertilizer application performance. Regression model explained 45.3% of variance of farmers’ performance where age, household size, farm size, training received, extension media contact, knowledge and attitudes of farmers were found significant predictors of farmers’ fertilizer application performance. Knowledge was found to be the most contributing factor followed by age and training received. Conclusion: The study concludes with recommendations that are expected to improving fertilizers application scenario of Bangladesh.

INTRODUCTION: Acute pancreatitis is one of the commonly encountered surgical conditions in the emergency department. Prognostication is done by various biochemical assays and scoring systems. Intra abdominal pressure (IAP) measurement has strong potential use as a prognostication and interventional marker. In this study we aim to determine the association between the intra abdominal pressures and the severity, morbidity, mortality and the prognosis of the patient. METHODS: This study is prospective observational study. 100 patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis were observed from the day of admission and followed up to the day of discharge. Intra abdominal pressure to be measured by the intravesical method.. RESULTS : There was significant linear correlation between raised intra abdominal pressure (IAP) and duration of hospitalization. In groups of patients who suffered complications, IAP was noted to be significantly higher, compared to the group of patients with no complications. (p <0.0001)There was a significant correlation of the baseline IAP (IAP at admission) with the MCTSI (pearson correlation coefficient = 0.534), APACHE II score (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.511). IAP also showed positive linear correlation with ranson score (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.383) CONCLUSION: IAP measurement is cheap, easy, and minimally invasive modality. It can be easily measured in catheterized patients. It is faster and easier than the existing scoring modalities and can reliably predict hospital stay, complications, and the prognosis in acute pancreatitis.

A will is a financial management instrument after one’s death. Majority of Muslims in Malaysia are aware and familiar with the term Islamic ‘will’. However, the number of Muslims who write a will is very low.  Studies have concluded, the reluctance factors to write a will were due to a) lack of knowledge, b) religious factor and c) financial obligation. Therefore, it is the interest of the researchers to investigate the relationships of these three contributing factors towards will adoption among urban Muslim community in Klang Valley. The paper adopts a quantitative method of research design, which utilises descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis to analyse the raw data. The results show all the independent variables have positive relationship with the dependent variable, in particular a strong significant relationship for knowledge. Thus, the paper suggests that any Muslims who are aware and has knowledge should write a will regardless of their age. In addition, writing a will before one’s death provides a peace of mind to that person.

The Relationship

Employee turnover has become a key performance indicator for many organizations as they struggle to retain talented employees. The negative impact of turnover on organizational performance has continually forced organizational leaders to seek better ways of retaining valuable employees. The relationship between man and work has always attracted the attention of philosophers. A major part of men’s life is spent at work. Work is social reality and social expectation to which men seem to conform. It not only provides status to the individual but also binds him to the society. An employee who is satisfied with his job would perform his duties well and be committed to his job, and subsequently to his organization. This paper examines relationship among job satisfaction, organizational commitment and employees’ turnover intentions at Unilever Corporation in Nigeria. The data for this study was collected from 117 employees currently working at Unilever Nigeria PLC using the survey method via the questionnaire. Pearson Correlation and the multiple regression analysis techniques using the SPSS version 22.0 was used for the data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that both job satisfaction and organizational commitment have significant negative relationship with employee turnover intentions. In addition, organizational commitment was revealed to have a more dorminant influence on employee turnover intentions than job satisfaction. Based on these findings, the implications, recommendations, practice, and theory were discussed.
