Linking entrepreneurial orientation and managerial capacity to performance in dairy farms

The main objective of the study is to develop and test a model that emphasizes the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and managerial capacity (MC) to the performance of dairy farms. This article also examines the effect of these variables on performance expectations as well as the succession planning of farms. Cross-sectional data were collected out of a sample of 158 dairy farmers in 2017 in Brazil. A path analysis approach has been applied to validate the hypothesized model. Results show that between EO dimensions, innovativity has the greatest impact on performance as well as on MC. MC is not significantly related to the current performance on dairy farms, but it is so to the performance expectation, which in turn has an impact on the succession planning of farms. The age of the farmers moderates the relations hypothesized in the model, especially between innovativity, proactivity, and MC in the farms’ performance.

THE EFFECT OF BALANCE, CONCENTRATION, AND COORDINATION ON DOLLYO CHAGI KICK SKILLS IN POPB TAEKWONDO ATHLETES IN DKI JAKARTA

The aim of this research was to determine the direct and indirect effect as well as the simultaneous effect of exogenous variables with endogenous variables. The research method used was an associative quantitative approach using test and measurement techniques. The data analysis technique used was a path analysis approach. The population in this research was all of POPB DKI Jakarta athletes in 2021 totaling 20 people. The sampling technique used was total sampling so that the number of samples in this research was 20 people consisting of 10 women and 10 men. The skills of Dollyo Chagi Kick Taekwondo used the Dollyo Chagi Kick skills test. The balance used a modified bass test. The concentration used a concentration grid test. The instrument of eye-foot coordination used a smart speed pro coordination test. The results showed that the direct effect of variable X1 on Y = 0,243. The direct effect of variable X2 on Y = 0,567. The direct effect of variable X3 on Y = 0,378. The direct effect of variable X1 on X3 = 0,706. The direct effect of variable X2 on X3 = 0,297. The indirect effect of variable X1 on Y through X3 = 0,706 x 0,378 = 0,267. The indirect effect of variable X2 on Y through X3 = 0,297 x 0,378 = 0,113.

Physical protection system effectiveness calculation in nuclear reactor facility using EASI code: case study sabotage scenario

Every nuclear facility must pay attention to the 3S aspect (Safety-Security-Safeguard) to prevent nuclear accidents. One element in the nuclear security aspects includes a reliable Physical Protection System (PPS), which aims to ward off security disturbances and other illegal acts, i.e., sabotage, theft, Etc. This study evaluates the PPS performance by adversary-path analysis approach using the EASI code for hypothetical nuclear reactor facility to anticipate sabotage attacks as the highest consequences scenario. We perform the probability of interruption (PI) calculation as represented by the effectiveness of the PPS. The study results show that in the PPS design, calculating the PI value using the EASI code confirms the need to pay attention in determining the MVP. The results provide feedback for the PPS designer to accept the current design or strengthen it to obtain a reliable PPS.

TRAINING EFFECT CONTRIBUTE TO THE JOB SATISFACTION AND PERFORMANCE OF CIVIL SERVICE IN THE TRANSMIGRATION AND MANPOWER SERVICE OF BULUNGAN REGENCY

The rationale of this study was to analyze and prove the training effect on the performance of the Civil Service through job satisfaction variables. Type of research is included in explanatory research. The population is all employees of Transmigration and Manpower Office of Bulungan Regency about 55 persons. The number of samples in this study were 55 respondents. The sampling technique performed by using total sampling technique. Data analysis technique used a path analysis approach. The findings showed that training has a positive and significant effect on employee job satisfaction. Training has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. In step 1, training is proven to have a significant effect on employee performance. In step 2 when training and job satisfaction are regressed together to predict employee performance, training remains significant. Thus job satisfaction is able to mediate the effect of training on employee performance.

PENGARUH KADAR HEMOGLOBIN DAN KEBUGARAN JASMANI TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR PENDIDIKAN JASMANI OLAHRAGA DAN KESEHATAN (PENJASORKES)

This study was based on the problem found among the students of SMAN 2 Padang related to the low learning outcomes in Physical Education, sport and health course. These learning outcomes were affected by hemoglobin levels and physical fitness. This study aims to identify the direct and indirect effects among the variables hemoglobin levels, and physical fitness towards learning outcomes in Physical Education, sport and health course. Quantitative research method with Path Analysis approach was carried out in this study. The study involved 308 (all) male students of SMAN 2 Padang in academic year 2018-2019 as the population. 100 students were taken as the sample by using Proportional Stratified Random Sampling. The data were collected using Hb test meter for hemoglobin levels; physical fitness test for physcal fitness; and the first semester exam results for learning outcomes. The results of data analysis show that the learning outcomes in Physical Education, sport and health course were: (1) affected directly by hemoglobin levels for 5.34%, (2) physical fitness for 13.40%; (2) affected indirectly by hemoglobin levels and physical fitness for 12.9%,

From Deficits in Emotional Intelligence to Eating Disorder Symptoms: A Sequential Path Analysis Approach Through Self-Esteem and Anxiety

Past studies have reported emotional intelligence (EI) as a relevant factor in development and maintenance of eating disorders (ED), as well as in increasing self-esteem and reducing anxiety. Similarly, research has showed that anxiety and self-esteem are positively and negatively associated to ED criteria, respectively. However, no prior studies have yet tested the multiple intervening roles of both self-esteem and anxiety as potential mediators of the association between EI and ED symptomatology. The present study aims to bridge these gaps by testing a sequential path model. Specifically, we examine the potential sequential mediation effects of self-esteem-anxiety on the link between EI and ED. A sample composed of 516 Spanish undergraduate students and community adults completed measures of EI, self-esteem, anxiety, and ED symptomatology. The results show that high levels of EI were positively associated with self-esteem and negatively associated with anxiety and ED symptoms. Anxiety was positively associated to ED symptoms, while self-esteem levels were negatively linked to ED symptoms. Moreover, path analyses showed that self-esteem and anxiety fully mediated the relationship between EI and ED symptoms in sequence. These findings suggest that EI plays a key role in reducing symptomatology of ED through increased self-esteem and reduced anxiety symptoms, providing novel evidence regarding psychological mechanisms through which EI contributes to a reduction of ED symptomatology. Implications for assessing and improving these psychological resources in ED preventive programs are discussed.
