Previous articles on organic food have been quantitative in nature; therefore, we proposed a qualitative study as a pathfinder for prospective researchers to understand the complex factors involved in the organic food supply chain (OFSC). To do so, this study reviewed eighty-four previous studies on organic foods and proposed a conceptual model for future research; customers' attitudes shall be influenced by sustainability, market deterrents, personal values, demographic and the socioeconomic environment. A customer's attitude has a direct impact on the purchase intention of the OFSC. The study also suggests an investigation of the indirect impact of sustainability, market deterrents, personal values and demographic and the socioeconomic environment on organic purchase intentions. The findings affirmed globally that environment protection, pesticide-free food and animal protection are major sustainability issues. In addition, premium price, insufficient availability and low awareness are the greatest deterrents, considering that personal values such as health benefits, natural contents, superior quality and better taste foster customers to purchase organic foodstuffs. In demographic and socioeconomic environmental contexts, education and income have emerged as major predictors of organic product purchases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101000,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Science Review B: Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.psrb.2016.09.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74612688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among philosophers who have addressed the subject of death, Heidegger addressed not only immortality and life after death but also the nature of death during one's existence. In his view, man (which he named Existence) through death becomes aware of his finitude, and thus, Heidegger chooses human beings as the only way of understanding existence among creatures. Heidegger critiques the philosophy of his predecessors and traditional metaphysics and defines his final thought as understanding existence. In his view, the most authentic thought about existence comes from wisdom, and that thought can begin when human beings believe that the idea of a saviour among the centuries is the largest enemy of original thought. In his view, death is the most original form of the possibility of Existence that threatens the entire universe, so the existence understood by the notions of the way to be in charge of his own life. “Heidegger” is trying to show the truth that man (Existence), unlike any other living creature, is terminally affected by destruction and death. (<span>Evans, 1998</span>, p. 212). This paper also discusses Heidegger's ideas about death.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101000,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Science Review B: Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.psrb.2016.06.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73277584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research also aims toidentify plants used for various purposes in the community. This study is particularly valuable to education because it offers a wide knowledge of the plants that are still present in Lubuagan, as well as their uses. The study uses a qualitative documentary method with the aid of a semi-structured interview guide to meet its objectives, with the community members as the primary respondents. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse collected data. Lubuagan, a municipality in Kalinga, has a total land area of 32,950 ha. It is composed of nine barangays and its land boundaries are Tinglayan, Abra, Pasil, Tanudan and Tabuk. As of the latest census, Lubuagan, Kalinga's population is 10,183, the majority of which is composed of older males. The people's main sources of income are agriculture and weaving. We identified several plants used for various purposes in the community including bamboo (piled/bida-ay), fig tree (tabbog), coconut tree, rattan, narra, acacia and fern tree. With these findings, we recommend that a parallel study be conducted in other municipalities of Kalinga to compare and contrast plants and their uses. Additionally, the identified plants can be used as learning aids in classrooms so that new generations become more knowledgeable about plants and their importance in the immediate community.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101000,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Science Review B: Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.psrb.2016.06.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79189812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a sustainable development approach in the agricultural sector is not solely determined by such factors. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the level of sustainability in paddy farming based on five aspects that cover economic, social, ecology, institutional and technology indicators. The respondents consisted of 350 farmers who are members of the Water Consumer Group of the Northern Terengganu Integrated Agricultural Development Area (IADA KETARA). Based on questionnaires from structured interviews, the data were analysed using structural equation modelling. The results indicate that technological advancement is the primary positive factor that determined the level of sustainability in IADA KETARA. The economy, society and institutions were also positive factors. Thus, it can be concluded that technological advancement is the most crucial element for achieving sustainability in the Malaysian paddy sector. Nevertheless, the adverse ecological impacts that could result from the adoption of any technological advancements must not be underestimated by the stakeholders.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101000,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Science Review B: Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.psrb.2016.05.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78603428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
