Mechanism analysis of rural residents' participation in green energy transition: A community-level case study in Nanjing, China

Achieving a transition to green energy requires the government to adopt new policies on green industrial products and energy. Throughout this process, rural residents often face various challenges due to economic and other factors. However, some rural residents are motivated to participate in this transition due to the economic benefits of energy usage and rooftop photovoltaic (PV). This study takes a rural community in the outskirts of Nanjing, China, as an example and applies Granovetter's embeddedness theory and a threshold model to analyze the factors influencing rural residents' engagement in a fair transition to green energy. Research hypotheses are proposed accordingly. The results indicate that rural residents are influenced by multiple factors in the adoption process of rooftop PV projects, primarily encompassing economic and trust-related aspects. From an economic perspective, rural residents evaluate the viability of rooftop PV systems by considering the marketing strategies employed by PV enterprises and the governmental pressure to reduce carbon emissions. They make rational calculations to determine the return on investment, and only when the economic threshold is surpassed will they reach the anticipated level of participation. From the perspective of trust, rural residents' participation in rooftop PV projects is also influenced by trust factors. The level of trust that rural residents have in rooftop PV enterprises, governments, and community organizations plays an important role in their willingness to participate in the green energy transition. Based on these findings, the research paper concludes that local government should continue providing tailored public information and services to facilitate the progress of rooftop PV projects.

Interlegality of Marriage Law: Tracing the Dynamics of Sumbong Marriages Practices in Jambi

<p><em>This article departs from the interlegality of marriage laws in Jambi society today, which discusses sumbong marriages. Sumbong marriage itself is a marriage that is legal according to religion, state, and custom. However, the ability to marry sumbong itself is considered valid by carrying out a customary settlement first, which was initially prohibited by customary law. The prohibition on marriage in Indonesia is contained in Article 8 of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage and Article 39 of the Compilation of Islamic Law. Departing from this phenomenon, the author tries to examine the writing, which includes the implementation of marriage law in the Jambi community, the legal pluralism of the Jambi community, and the interlegality of customary, religious and state law in the marriage law of the Jambi community. The type of research carried out by the author is field research (Field Research) with qualitative methods. The nature of this research is analytical descriptive research. The approach used by the authors is a sociological empirical approach with interlegality. The author's findings clearly show that legal interactions in this tradition involve interactions between several laws, including religious, state, and customary laws used in sumbong marriage practices. By applying the legal interlegality theory approach, customary law, state law, and religious law become one unit. The concept of interlegality is found in adopting the values contained in the sumbong marriage tradition, whether based on state law, Islamic law, or Jambi customary law. This adoption process is based on the characteristics of the Jambi community's legal identity and its social environment, which is still steeped in customs, and the community also upholds the norms that apply in society and adheres firmly to "adat basandi syarak, syarak basandi kitabullah.

Boko Haram terrorism and the burden of managing internal displacement in Nigeria: Is the end in sight?

Boko Haram terrorism has since its inception in 2009 claimed the lives of over 20,000 people and caused the displacement of about 3 million following violent attacks on communities and the destruction of social structure and economic livelihood opportunities for communities. Since the number of displaced persons resulting from the activities of Boko Haram is on the increase, efforts are being intensified by both the state and non-state humanitarian actors to manage the crisis that results from this displacement. Despite these efforts, very few results have been achieved. This is largely a result of problems that bedevil the Nigerian state, namely (i) inadequate resources to finance humanitarian programmes for the internally displaced persons (IDPs), (ii) poor data management system, (iii) clash of responsibilities among humanitarian delivery agencies and institutions and (iv) the lack of policy support and poor implementation of provisions of other frameworks. Utilising systems theory, the study investigates the efforts of state and non-state actors in managing Boko Haram-induced internal displacements and the effectiveness or otherwise of managing the IDPs in Nigeria. It is found that the management of IDPs in Nigeria remains poorly handled owing to the above factors. Relying on the secondary method of data collection, the study also found that prolonged Boko Haram terrorism increases the possibility of internal displacements. Based on these findings, the study concludes that the government should quicken the process of policy adoption and implementation on IDP to serve as a legal framework for the management of IDPs in Nigeria, as well as develop a robust mechanism of data management to enhance the administration of humanitarian support.

Child Adoption Without a Judicial Process in Sawentar Village, Blitar Regency (Perspective of Positive Law and Islamic Law)

In Islam, adopting children has been known since the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Literally, tabbani means a family couple who tries to get a foster child from another family, then treats it as if it were their biological child. The reality of informants in Sawentar, Blitar, child adoption is based on the agreement of biological parents with adoptive parents, then the adopted child is manipulated as if he were the biological child of the adoptive parents, without going through the court process, Research qualitative approach type of observational research, field-research, determination of empirical approaches, subjected to 3 primary sources. Descriptive qualitative means using qualitative data, then described descriptively. Problems are solved by non-doctrinal empirical normative studies, sourced from primary and secondary data. The purpose of the research is to describe the process of adoption without trial, under HI / Islamic Law and or HP / Positive Law. Documentation, data collection by interviewing, observing reinforced the technique of analyzing documents in the design of descriptive qualitative methods, starting with reducing, presenting, ending with drawing conclusions, where the researcher holds the primary key. The conclusion was found that child adoption in Sawentar Village, the subject of the study carried out the adoption without going through the procedures as established by the government. This means that in positive law there is a violation of the law. The subject considers the judicial procedure to be a lot of time consuming, feels the complexity, does not meet the requirements of adoption, and the lack of understanding regarding child adoption according to the law. Implications, reviewing positive law, judicial child adoption is not fulfilled, if the socialization of adoption in the community is not intensified. Adoption is more about the agreement of both parties without a court process. Then, there is a lack of legal protection for adopted children, confidentiality in both, if not open, nasab (family ties based on blood relations, both up, down, and sideways) and the pleasure of the mother, father or biological person will be lost.

APLIKASI MATCHMAKER ADOPSI HEWAN PELIHARAAN (OPet) BERBASIS ANDROID MENGGUNAKAN METODE MACHINE LEARNING

The importance of pet adoption is very important in efforts to support the prevention of animal abandonment. Currently, the pet adoption system in Indonesia still largely relies on a manual approach. This process is carried out directly without paying attention to important aspects of the match between the pet and its adopter, which can result in a lack of information which has a long-term impact on the abandonment or return of the pet. Based on these problems, this research aims to design and create an application that can facilitate the pet adoption process. This application was built for Android-based mobile devices by utilizing Machine Learning methods to provide personalized pet recommendations based on user preferences using Content-Based Filtering and making it easier to identify pet breeds from photos uploaded or selected by users using Image Classification. The pet data collected was sourced from the Kaggle, TensorFlow, and GitHub websites. It is hoped that the results of this research can overcome the problem of pet adoption in a better and more sustainable way and will not only provide benefits for abandoned animals, but can also reduce cases of animal abandonment due to irresponsible owners.

Institutional forces, leapfrogging effects, and innovation status: Evidence from the adoption of a continuously evolving technology in small organizations

Although SMEs' innovation adoption has been widely studied, little research has explored how SMEs strategize a continuously evolving technology in a complex institutional context over time. Drawing from institutional perspectives, our case study, based on 44 interviews and field observation, seeks to analyze how institutional forces interact with the Wi-Fi adoption process at three small organizations with different innovation statuses. Results reveal the significance of institutional forces in shaping small organizations' technology adoption process. At the knowledge stage, institutional forces stem from the champion's advocacy and institutional pressures. At the persuasion and implementation stages, they are embedded in organizations' actions in following the institutional trend and complying with institutional norms. At the confirmation stage, they can be observed in organizations' shaping institutional changes or leapfrogging institutional trends. These insights challenge and extend the traditional linear perspective of innovation diffusion and contribute to the literature on technology adoption, digital transformation, innovation leapfrogging, institutional theory, and SMEs. Managerially, we propose three strategic responses (i.e., trend reformulation, service differentiation, complete transformation) that urge SMEs to utilize leapfrogging effects of technologies to renovate their innovation status.

Investigating Co-Innovation strategies to prevent food loss in the fruits and vegetables sector

The transition towards sustainable food systems implies the exploration of drivers and challenges for the adoption of innovative solutions by the operators on the value chains. The development of innovative approaches is critical to improve the collaboration of different stakeholders on sustainability topics. The Q-methodology combines qualitative and quantitative analysis to navigate subjective stakeholder perspectives, aiming to find shared strategies and enhance collaborative approaches on complex topics. This study employs Q-methodology to investigate stakeholders' viewpoints on reducing food losses in the Italian fruit and vegetable sector, focusing on the upstream phases of the supply chain. The aim is to explore the perspectives of producers, experts, and institutional representatives towards sustainable innovations in food losses prevention and management practices. The integration of technological innovation is described as a key factor, but the adoption process is hampered by structural supply chain burdens. The results enforced the adoption of sustainable technologies by operators, reporting that collaboration can enhance efficiency, quality management, and sustainability during fruit and vegetable production and distribution operations. Innovative solutions to mitigate food losses risk are driven by resource-efficiency network strategies that should imply a positive environmental and social performances. The application of the Q-methodology allows for a deeper understanding of the emerging challenges during the adoption of food loss reduction strategies. The findings reported the significance of collaboration, technological innovation integration, and sustainable practices across the supply chain. This research contributes to the development of effective, stakeholder-supported strategies and informs policymakers in the fruit and vegetable sector about different solutions to mitigate food losses.

Navigating the adoption landscape of blockchain in food delivery: a UTAUT perspective

PurposeThis study explores the factors impacting user adoption and trust in blockchain-based food delivery systems, with a spotlight on the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). In the evolving food delivery sector, blockchain offers transparency and efficiency. Through the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) lens, this research provides insights for businesses and policymakers, highlighting the importance of blockchain’s integration into food delivery.Design/methodology/approachThe research employed the UTAUT and its extensions as the theoretical framework. A structured questionnaire was developed and disseminated to users of the ONDC platform, and responses were collected on a seven-point extended Likert scale. The analyses were undertaken employing the partial least squares (PLS) methodology and structural equation modelling (SEM).FindingsKey factors like performance expectancy, effort expectancy and social influence were found influential for adoption. Trust played a central role, while perceived risk didn’t significantly mediate the adoption process. Digital culture didn’t significantly moderate the adoption intention.Originality/valueThis research adds to the existing body of knowledge by providing empirical insights into user adoption and trust in blockchain-based food delivery platforms. It is among the pioneer studies to apply the UTAUT model in the realm of blockchain-based food delivery platforms, thereby offering a unique perspective on the dynamics of user behaviour in this emerging field.

A Sustainability Project: Collaboration of a Campus TV Station and a Great Mosque

Objective: As part of the mass media industry, the broadcasting industry has a strategic position as one of the stakeholders responsible for participating to reduce the social impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic to the global economy. The broadcasting industry is expected to be able to participate directly. This participation does not only stop at fundraising actions and sporadic public donation management, but also plays a role as a representative of private corporate institutions that actively and continuously contributes to the support for achieving the national development goals through implementation of the so-called people-centered, participatory, empowering, and sustainable paradigm, within the context of a mosque organizational environment. Theoretical Framework: The community empowerment theory used in this research process was dominated by the resource mobilization theory. Viewed from the community empowerment framework, the mobilization theory was appropriate to be applied in this research, as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to the ethical actions of companies or the business world that aim to improve the economy for the quality life of the employees, the communities, and the corporate environment. Method: This descriptive qualitative research employed a case study strategy which aims to analyse the da'wah activities in the mosque through TVKU CSR programs that support the transformation of the da'wah activities at the MAJT Great Mosque. Furthermore, the thematic interviews for data collection included the CSR program strategy carried out, the process and stages of the mosque youth empowerment, the mosque community, the mosque broadcasting community, and the independent mosque broadcasting-business unit. The collected research data were then analyzed by using the Corporate Societal Marketing (CSM) approach and through the application of the Atlas.ti software. Results and Discussion: Through the CSR program carried out by the Campus TVKU Semarang at the MAJT Great Mosque, the research findings showed a significant success in building an empowerment pattern entity that transforms innovative steps towards a positive impact for increasing empowered human development at the MAJT Great Mosque. From the convergence model pattern, several steps were then recommended based on the stages that occurred both in the application of technology (adoption process, new technology, and attitude formation) and media integration (computing, communication, and content) in the model. This is in line with the spirit of the emerging empowerment principles on people-center, participation, empowerment, and sustainability. Research Implications: This research theoretically develops the application of Corporate Social Responsibility and the society empowerment, while empirically, this research proposes to encourage the mosque youth comunity to be independent and creative in managing and producing contents of the significant mosque programs, and to encourage Campus TV’s to developp their innovative contents from the conventional practices into the digital practices. Originality/Value: The findings of this sustainability project research from the collaboration between a campus TV and a great mosque are expected to be able to build an empowerment pattern entity that transforms innovative steps and has the potential to have a positive impact in spreading the message of da'wah to the younger generation.

Overcoming Barriers to Adoption of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Antagonists in India

Despite the promising introduction of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs in the Indian market for managing diabetes and obesity, their uptake remains limited due to several factors: high costs, lack of outpatient insurance coverage, side effects, limited long-term data on cardiovascular and renal safety, and healthcare professionals' reluctance to prescribe them. This study aims to explore these barriers and propose innovative strategies to enhance the adoption of GLP-1 analogs in India. By applying Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations theory, the research will analyze the adoption process and develop targeted strategies to overcome identified challenges, ultimately benefiting a significant segment of the population struggling with diabetes and obesity.

Exploring PV adoption by Non-Residential Property Owners: Applying Social Practice Theory

This article investigates the adoption of Photovoltaics (PV) systems by non-residential property owners in Sweden using a social practice theory approach. 25 semi-structured interviews were conducted with private and public non-residential property owners in the south of Sweden. The results show that about half of the property owners had had PV systems installed for a long period and had developed a PV adoption practice. These property owners had established routines within the company, aggregated relevant knowledge, and had established trusted relationships with PV installers which supported the PV adoption process. On the contrary, first-time installers and non-adopters were missing these elements and had not yet established a PV adoption practice. This study is the first step towards understanding PV adoption as a practice for non-residential property owners and contributes to an analysis of the elements that are required for a PV adoption practice to emerge. The practical relevance of the study is that it can facilitate and support non-residential property owners to adopt PV systems and contribute to a renewable electricity transition.

Uncovering the Challenges and Needs of Chinese Adoptive Parents in Hong Kong

ABSTRACTAdoptive parenting is a lifelong process. Adoptive parents face unique challenges at different stages of parenting, which require proper recognition, specialised support and sustained services. However, social stigma against infertility and adoption in Asian societies, including Hong Kong, has rendered the lived experiences of adoptive parents almost invisible. To address this knowledge gap, the current qualitative study drew on in‐depth interviews with 23 Chinese parents from 14 families (including nine couples, three wives, one single mother and one divorced mother) with school‐age adoptees aged 6–17. Adopting a biographical approach, we collected their experiences from their adoption decision to their current stage of parenting. Their narratives revealed that Chinese adoptive parents in Hong Kong, despite their resourcefulness and commitment, encounter challenges throughout the adoption process, including family misunderstandings, lack of adoption leave, struggles related to discipline, difficulties with adoptees with special learning needs and the prevalence of cultural devaluation. Our findings contribute to and have implications for research and adoption services and policies.

BUDGET EXECUTION PROCESS AS A STAGE OF THE BUDGET PROCESS IN UKRAINE

The article discusses budget execution as a complex sequence of stages and procedures that require the coordinated work of numerous state bodies, institutions, and individuals. The article emphasizes the importance of timely and full receipt of planned revenues, as well as timely, full, and continuous financing of measures provided for in the budgets. Budget execu­tion is considered as achieving compliance between the actual results of the actions of obligated subjects of budgetary legal relations with budget funds and the established budget-legal norms of the act on the budget regarding the crediting, distribution, and transfer of budget funds to the defined directions of financing in the established volume. Also highlighted are the problems that arise during the formation and execution of the state budget in Ukraine, including deficiencies in legislation, insufficient transparency of the electronic tax administration system, low responsibility of collection bodies, lack of proper coordination of budget procedures among participants in the budget process, absence of an ef­fective mechanism for controlling the activities of budget institutions, and lack of an effective system of responsibility for non-fulfillment of the budget. Budget adoption and implementation processes may be inefficient due to the lack of mechanisms to implement and adhere to the chosen course. This can lead to the fact that the budget, which should optimally represent the interests of society, is not implemented in full accordance with the established priorities. Implementation of the budget requires the coordinated work of a large number of state bodies, institutions, individuals and institutional mechanisms. However, in Ukraine there are numerous problems that complicate this pro­cess, including shortcomings in the legislation, insufficient transparency of the electronic tax administration system, low responsibility of collection agencies, lack of proper coordina­tion of budget procedures between participants in the budget process, lack of an effective mechanism for monitoring the activities of budget institutes, and lack of an effective system of responsibility for non-fulfillment of the budget.

Blockchain Adoption in Networks: The Decision Flow through three Arenas

Aim/Purpose: To show how the adoption decision about blockchain technology follows a path through three ‘arenas’, each showing distinctive organisational and behavioural driving forces. Methodology: Grounded theory using Meta-analysis, mind mapping, participative observation and 22 Atlas.ti analysed interviews. Findings: Three ‘arenas’ were observed: (#1) visualises the driving forces, motivations and reasons that play a role in the mind of the decision making individual and is the result of the conditioning process occurred during the trajectory through networks during the life and career of that individual; (#2) reflects and incorporates the transition from the individual level decision making to the company level, meeting other decision makers. The worldview, power and hierarchy dynamics among the company's decision-making leadership directly shape the overall company strategy. This strategizing, in turn, leads to particular outcomes and effects on the company's network and connections; (#3) describes the constituting elements and origins of power that play a role for four different types of networks: long term relations, consortia, exploitative networks and spot buying networks. Originality: This study offers an original view on innovation adoption processes in supply chains, networks and systems, applied to the case of blockchain technology. Conclusions: Blockchain usage seems mainly relevant for networks based on long-term relations, not so much for consortia, exploitative networks and spot buying networks. Which network a company choses to participate in depends on the worldview of the company as a result of the distribution of hierarchies of the participating decision makers. In addition, an increased company size implies an increased feeling blockchain usage would or could compensate lack of trust because of less personal contacts.

Strategic, tactical, complex and simple changes to farm systems

AbstractPressure has grown to reconfigure commercial farm systems to ameliorate resource degradation as governments have increasingly sought to halt or reverse the damaging effects of agriculture on the environment. Now, climate change is creating additional pressure to redesign farm systems to withstand more variable, and historically more extreme, seasonal conditions. Meeting these pressures is thought to require a combination of responses ranging from incremental adjustments to farm systems through to their complete transformation into entirely new enterprises. Implementing each of these entails different resources, time horizons, skills, knowledge and planning, and this has corresponding consequences for any government or industry policies intended to promote adoption or compliance. While there is an extensive literature on the adoption of technology and management practices in agriculture, the literature on different types of change to farm systems, and the criteria for distinguishing between types, is limited. We describe a novel approach to classifying changes to farm systems by integrating a method for describing the strategic and tactical flexibility of farm systems with a method for describing the complexity of changes to farm systems. The resulting classification provides a framework for inferring the nature of the resources, skills, knowledge, planning and time needed to implement the different types of change. We provide illustrative examples drawn from a series of interviews with farmers of each type of change and discuss the implications for extension, agricultural and environmental policy and policy regarding adaptation to climate change. We found that heterogeneity in farm systems translates into heterogeneity in adoption processes. We believe that our approach provides a practical way of translating commonly used broad descriptors of adaptation, such as ‘incremental’, ‘systems’ and ‘transformational’, into the specific type of the change that farmers must make to their farm systems to enact adaptations, with consequent implications for the effective policy support of adaptation.

The Quest for the Application of Artificial Intelligence to Whole Slide Imaging: Unique Prospective from New Advanced Tools

The introduction of machine learning in digital pathology has deeply impacted the field, especially with the advent of whole slide image (WSI) analysis. In this review, we tried to elucidate the role of machine learning algorithms in diagnostic precision, efficiency, and the reproducibility of the results. First, we discuss some of the most used tools, including QuPath, HistoQC, and HistomicsTK, and provide an updated overview of machine learning approaches and their application in pathology. Later, we report how these tools may simplify the automation of WSI analyses, also reducing manual workload and inter-observer variability. A novel aspect of this review is its focus on open-source tools, presented in a way that may help the adoption process for pathologists. Furthermore, we highlight the major benefits of these technologies, with the aim of making this review a practical guide for clinicians seeking to implement machine learning-based solutions in their specific workflows. Moreover, this review also emphasizes some crucial limitations related to data quality and the interpretability of the models, giving insight into future directions for research. Overall, this work tries to bridge the gap between the more recent technological progress in computer science and traditional clinical practice, supporting a broader, yet smooth, adoption of machine learning approaches in digital pathology.

The intention of adopting blockchain technology in agri-food supply chains: evidence from an Indian economy

Purpose This paper aims to explore the underlying intention behind using blockchain technology (BLCT) in the agri-food supply chain (AFSC). This is achieved by using a conceptual framework based on technology acceptance models that considers various factors influencing user behavior toward implementing this technology in their practices. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual framework developed is empirically validated using structural equation modeling (SEM). A total of 258 respondents from agri-food domain in India were involved in this survey, and their responses were analyzed through SEM to validate our conceptual framework. Findings The findings state that food safety and security, traceability, transparency and cost highly influence the intention to use BLCT. Decision-makers of the AFSCs are more inclined to embrace BLCT if they perceive the usefulness of the technology as valuable and believe it will enhance their productivity. Practical implications This study contributes to the existing literature by providing thorough examination of the variables that influence the intention to adopt BLCT within the AFSC. The insights aim to benefit industry decision-makers, supply chain practitioners and policymakers in their decision-making processes regarding BLCT adoption in the AFSC. Originality/value This study investigates how decision-makers’ perceptions of BLCT influence their intention to use it in AFSCs, as well as the impact of the different underlying factors deemed valuable in the adoption process of this technology.

Utilizing Digital Transformation Technology at Construction Sites to Mitigate Workplace Incidents and Enhance Safety Practices within the Construction Sector

The Objectives of this project work is to look into the DT digital transformation of the construction sector, more specifically to the impacts of AI for workers and work-environment safety. The scope converges on the more tangible consequences of safety rather than health and focuses on the impact on safety roles and performance as well as implications for jobs and collaborative dynamics between construction organizations. The thesis pushes forward the current state of safety performance and collaborative relationships both in theory as much as in practice and stresses the shift of performance measurements and success factors for the former as well as the roles and goals for the latter. The construction sector is a considerable contributor to a country's economy. For example, there are more than 300 000 people employed in the construction sector in INDIA. Unfortunately, workers’ safety is a big problem in this high-employment sector since the potential risk for injury is high. In INDIA workers in the construction industry are among the most injured, both in terms of work-related accidents and occupational injuries. With more technology advances, there has been an increasing interest in the construction sector regarding new technologies in recent years which also includes occupational safety and health technologies. The results provide a list of different types of safety technologies that have been investigated previously and a versatile overview of safety technology's development process, adoption process, and facilitators and barriers for a successful adoption. This study points out the benefits of utilizing safety technologies and provides extensive information regarding the adoption of safety tools that could encourage engaged actors in the field to strive for more safety technologies which could lead to a safer work environment and healthy worker

An Integrated Framework for Addressing the Challenges and Strategies of Technology Adoption: A Systematic Review

While the rapid growth of information technology (IT) adoption has not lessened, insufficient attention has been directed towards the major themes and sub-themes of IT adoption challenges. Consequently, this study consists of a systematic literature review of the challenges of technology adoption based on a total of 235 peer-reviewed articles from the business and management literature between 2012-2022. Our longitudinal study provides an integrated framework for matching IT challenges to organizational strategies for transforming IT practices and processes. The results of the review broaden scholarly understanding of the importance of strategic IT agility, the need to keep pace with competitive information systems and IT environments. The findings enhance understanding of the pre-change and post-change processes of IT adoption, expanding knowledge on adoption success and organizational strategies for achieving IT strategic agility. Three key contributions include closing gaps not explored in comparative studies, adopting a unified approach with an integrated research model, and strategies to enhance an organization's absorptive IT capacity and agility.
