Dialectometry studies patterns of linguistic variation through correlations between geographic and aggregate measures of linguistic distance. However, aggregating smooths out the role of semantic characteristics, which have been shown to affect the distribution of lexical variants across dialects. Furthermore, although dialectologists have always been well-aware of other variables like population size, isolation and socio-demographic features, these characteristics are generally only included in dialectometric analyses afterwards for further interpretation of the results rather than as explanatory variables. This study showcases linear mixed-effects modelling as a method that is able to incorporate both language-external and language-internal factors as explanatory variables of linguistic variation in the Limburgish dialect continuum in Belgium and the Netherlands. Covering four semantic domains that vary in their degree of basic vs. cultural vocabulary and their degree of standardization, the study models linguistic distances using a combination of external (e.g., geographic distance, separation by water, population size) and internal (semantic density, salience) sources of variation. The results show that both external and internal factors contribute to variation, but that the exact role of each individual factor differs across semantic domains. These findings highlight the need to incorporate language-internal factors in studies on variation, as well as a need for more comprehensive analysis tools to help better understand its patterns.

College students whom arein the process of writing theirfinal papersareexpected to deal with tougher pressures compared to other college students in general, based on both internal and external factors. Internal factors include laziness, low motivation, fear of meeting and difficultiesin adjusting ideas with their paper advisors. Whereas external factors include the minimum time of guidance, difficultiesin finding themes and titles of their papers, along with everything that would come with the writing process. If college students are not able to adjust to the difficulties, conditions such as stress, frustration, and lost of motivation are likely to occur. Therefore, college students whom are in the process of writing final papers may need resilience. Resilience is a personal quality that enablesan individual to rise when dealing with difficulties. Previous research showed that one of the incentive factors of resilience is spirituality.Spirituality is defined as a struggle to achieve goals in the experience of connectedness with the essence of life. The purpose of this research was to find the role of spirituality towards resilience in college students undertaking final paper writing. This research used a quantitative approach and adapted versions of CD-RISC (to measure resilience) and SAIL (to measure spirituality). This research involved 150 samples, obtained using accidental samplingtechnique. Regressionresults showed that spirituality has a significant role towards resilience in college students undertaking final paper writing (12%). This indicates that if college students whom are writing their final paperspossess good levels spirituality that involves connectedness with self, other people or nature as well astranscendent power, it would allow them more capability to deal with difficulties that may occur during their final paper writing process

Since the covid-19 outbreak lurks throughout the world economy is no exception to the Indonesian agricultural sector. Small farmers began to have difficulty in marketing the products grown, emerging agricultural startup institutions that utilize technology to maintain farmers' economic sustainability. Agricultural startups in Indonesia have not been able to have a model that strengthens actors in it; the actor is a reformer agent. in this study, we wanted to create a new model in strengthening reforming agents at agricultural startups. We surveyed two different ways: (a) meet directly with respondents and use health protocols who can be found; and (c) by charging via online Google form to respondents who cannot be found. In total, we conducted 144 surveys out of the actors we initially identified as relevant. The study reveals to know variable support of internal factors, external factors, and the role of reforming agents have a real and positive effect on strengthening the institutional capacity of agricultural startups in the agricultural industry 4.0 era. The model of strengthening the role of reforming agents in startups in the agricultural industry 4.0 era is necessary for looking at the state of startups, internal and external factors of reforming agents, the role of reforming agents, and their influence on strengthening capacity occurring in startups to produce strategies in strengthening agent of change. The findings will guide the agriculture startup in achieving its vision of creating the perfect strategy for agent of change.

Grounded from resource-based view, network approach perspective, strategic behaviour theory, innovation theory and capabilities theory, this study proposed a model for rapid internationalisation of SMEs in Malaysia. In-depth interviews were conducted with selected firms in Malaysia to explore and identify the factors contributing to the firms' capabilities, business strategy and rapid internationalisation. This model provides further insight into the factors that leads them to rapid internationalisation. This paper found that technology, firm orientation, networking and founder's background and entrepreneurial characteristics as internal factors together with industry trends and environment are critical determinants of capabilities that lead to business strategy and rapid internationalisation. Apart from that, it was found that innovation plays a crucial role in IT based born global firms; it may not apply to all the firms. One of the firms interviewed has chosen creativity as their key role factor instead of innovation. Lastly, firms that do not require large capital are better off by avoiding external fund to reduce unnecessary financial risk. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0795/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

ABSTRAKSI Perkembangan dibidang teknologi pertanian pada saat ini telah memberikan banyak kontribusi dibidang pertanian. Namun ternyata belum banyak dinikmati oleh para petani. Ini karena ada beberapa kendala diantarnya rendahnya pengetahuan para petani dan keterbatasan dibidang sumber daya seperti modal, tanah dan lain-lain. Respon kelompok tani terhadap peran PPL tentu mampu menciptakan terjadinya hubungan yang serasi yang bersifat interpersonal antara kelompok tani dan PPL. Ada faktor-faktor intern dan ekstern yang berpengaruh pada respon kelompok tani terhadap PPL. Faktor intern meliputi sifat stereotip, kearifan terkait menyunting stimulus, konsep tentang diri, kebutuhan dan harapan, emosi tentang diri dan pengalaman di masa lalu. Faktor ekstern antara lain : intensitas kunjungan, frekuensi kunjungan dan ukuran maupun pengulangan kunjungan. Dari hasil penelitian dapat dilihat bahwa faktor intern ataupun faktor ekstern tidak mempunyai hubungan dengan respon petani, namun hubungannya sangat kuat dengan peran PPL dan hasil analisa terdapat hubungan respon para petani terhadap peran PPL. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa PPL sebagai pembimbing mempunyai kategori tinggi dengan skor 71,3%, PPL sebagai organisator mempunyai kategori sedang dengan skor 60,7%, PPL sebagai dinamisator mempunyai kategori tinggi dengan skor 81,3% dan PPL sebagai teknisi mempunyai kategori sedang dengan sekor 62,3%. Adapun saran dari penelitian ini meliputi : perlunya suasana yang kondusif antara para kelompok petani dengan PPL. Kata kunci : Peran PPL, respon petani, faktor intern dan ekstern petani   ABSTRACT Developments in the field of agricultural technology at this time have contributed a lot in the field of agriculture. However, it has not been widely enjoyed by farmers. This is because there are several obstacles including the low knowledge of farmers and limitations in the field of resources such as capital, land and others. The response of farmer groups to the role of PPL is certainly able to create a harmonious interpersonal relationship between farmer groups and PPL. There are internal and external factors that influence the response of farmer groups to PPL. Internal factors include the nature of stereotypes, wisdom related to editing the stimulus, self-concept, needs and expectations, emotions about oneself and past experiences. External factors include: intensity of visits, frequency of visits and the size and repetition of visits. From the results of the study, it can be seen that internal factors or external factors do not have a relationship with the response of farmers, but the relationship is very strong with the role of PPL and the results of the analysis show that there is a relationship between the responses of farmers to the role of PPL. The results showed that PPL as a supervisor had a high category with a score of 71.3%, PPL as an organizer had a medium category with a score of 60.7%, PPL as a dynamist had a high category with a score of 81.3% and PPL as a technician had a medium category with score 62.3%. The suggestions from this research include: the need for a conducive atmosphere between farmer groups and PPL. Keywords: PPL role, farmer response, internal and external factors of farmers

The aim of the study is to investigate undergraduates’ perceptions of the comparative worth/utility of studying Business Science disciplines at a prominent South African University in terms of: (i) internal factors comprising aptitudes, values and interests; and (ii) external factors comprising job attractiveness (job prospects, earning potential, non-salary benefits and work-life balance), and (iii) university and discipline academic reputations. The study utilises a specifically designed instrument to measure internal and external factors impinging on career choice. A purposive non-random sample, consisting of 130 second and third year students in Human Resource Management (HRM) and Management, is used. Findings suggest that, while perceptions of aspects of careers, such as job and career prospects generally dominate the choice of major subjects, students studying HRM majors hold community orientated values that distinguish them from their peers. Many students are found to make choices primarily on the basis of their perceptions of ‘external factors’, rather than their interests. The findings are discussed in terms of extant theory and potential practical outcomes.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to test the internal and external factors that have an influence on theperformance of small and medium-sized industrial enterprises. The first hypothesis, which states that internalfactors have a positive impact on business performance is not fully supported. This is because of the threevariables that are internal factors; only one variable is a business strategy that has a significant positive effect.Meanwhile, two other variables, namely the value of entrepreneurship and technical aspects and operation haveno significant effect.The second hypothesis states that external factors have a positive impact on business performancewhich is also not supported. It can be seen from the results of statistical tests that found no evidence thataspect of the economy, government policy aspects, and aspects related to the role of institutions do not have asignificant impact on business performance.Keywords: internal factors, external factors, business performance, small business enterprise
