ABSTRACT Obesity is a condition of excessive fat accumulation in adipose tissue that occurs due to nutritional transitions in food consumption patterns by population that practices modern lifestyles, trend to higher consumption of energy-dense foods and low physical activity. Food consumption is the main cause of adult obesity 18+ years old. Based on UNICEF (1998) concept, food consumption is influenced by food security, including food access and food availability. The purpose of this study is to determine the obesity and food security modeling in West Java Province. This study used secondary data from Riskesdas 2013, SUSENAS 2013, and Daerah Dalam Angka2013-2014 from BPS. Unit analysis is 26 districts of West Java Province. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that ten percent increase in food availability could directly reduce 9.2 percent in food access, reduce 8.9 percent in food consumption as a result of  food access changes, and reduce 0.4 percent of obesity as a result of food access and food consumption changes. Ten percent increase in food access could directly increase in 3.0 percent of food consumption, and increase 3.6 percent obesity as a result of food consumption changes. Ten percent increase in food consumption could increase 6.0 percent of obesity prevalence.  Keywords: obesity, food security, partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM)   ABSTRAK Obesitas merupakan kondisi akumulasi lemak berlebih pada jaringan adiposa yang secara langsung disebabkan oleh transisi gizi, yaitu perubahan pola makan oleh populasi yang telah mengadopsi gaya hidup modern, yaitu kecenderungan pada peningkatan konsumsi makanan padat energi dan rendahnya aktivitas fisik. Penyebab utama obesitas orang dewasa 18+ tahun berasal dari konsumsi pangan. Berdasarkan konsep UNICEF (1998), konsumsi pangan dipengaruhi oleh ketahanan pangan, termasuk akses pangan dan ketersediaan pangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan pemodelan obesitas dan ketahanan pangan Provinsi Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder, yaitu Riskesdas 2013, SUSENAS 2013, dan Daerah Dalam Angka 2013-2014 kabupaten/kota Provinsi Jawa Barat. Unit analisis adalah 26 kabupaten/kota Provinsi Jawa Barat. Analisis menggunakan pendekatan Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan 10 persen ketersediaan pangan dapat secara langsung menurunkan akses pangan sebesar 9,2 persen, menurunkan konsumsi pangan sebesar 8,9 persen sebagai akibat dari perubahan akses, serta menurunkan prevalensi obesitas sebesar 0,4 persen sebagai akibat perubahan akses dan konsumsi pangan. Peningkatan 10 persen akses pangan dapat secara langsung meningkatkan konsumsi pangan sebesar 3,0 persen, serta meningkatkan prevalensi obesitas sebesar 3,6 persen sebagai akibat dari perubahan konsumsi pangan. Peningkatan 10 persen konsumsi pangan dapat meningkatkan prevalensi obesitas sebesar 6,0 persen.  [Penel Gizi Makan 2018, 41(2):89-100] Kata kunci: obesitas, ketahanan pangan, partial least squarestructural equation modeling (PLS-SEM)

This study discussed employee turnover as one of the crucial problems faced by every organization. This study sought to analyze the determinants of turnover intention, such as job insecurity, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. The objects of this study were newcomer lecturers of private Islamic universities in East Java Province, Indonesia. To analyze the relationship among independent variables and dependent variable; this study employed a correlation path model. To build the structural formulation of the correlation path model, this study used the variance-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as a Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. The study found that job insecurity influenced job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Moreover, job satisfaction and organizational commitment had positive impacts on the turnover intention. In contrast, job insecurity did not have a direct significant impact on the turnover intention, but it had indirect effect that influences job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

Owing to the lack of research in emerging Asian nations, this research aimed to unearth the determinants of blockchain acceptance for supply chain financing by a Bangladeshi financing company called IPDC. Centred on a technology acceptance framework called UTAUT (unified theory of acceptance and use of technology) and open innovation research, an expanded model with a mediating variable is developed for this study. This research work employs the deductive inference method in conjunction with the positivism paradigm. A structural questionnaire was used to gather data, which were then processed through Smart-PLS (partial least square) for SEM (structural equation modeling). The survey includes all the people who are directly or indirectly involved in the supply chain financing platform of IPDC. The study consists of seven direct hypotheses and one mediating hypothesis. The results show that all the direct hypotheses except the impact of social influence on the behavioural intention to use (BINTU) blockchain are significant. The mediating hypothesis indicating the role of BINTU in the relationship between facilitating conditions (FCON) and the actual use of blockchain is also supported. FCON and BINTU together explain 88.7% variation in blockchain use behaviour for supply chain financing. The research advances past findings by employing an expanded UTAUT framework and validating observations with the other relevant studies throughout the world.

This study investigated the factors that influence Ghanaian entrepreneurs to adopt e-commerce. Cross-sectional data was gathered from 520 entrepreneurs in the most populous and industrious regions in Ghana. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) was employed to effectively understand the unexplored phenomenon of e-commerce adoption among Ghanaian entrepreneurs. Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence (SI) positively and significantly influenced the behavioral intention (BI) to adopt e-commerce. Facilitating conditions (FC) and BI had a significant positive relationship with the adoption of e-commerce.
