In any case, the quantity of certified producers is still comparatively very less. So as to contribute to the spread of accreditation among ranchers, the purpose of this research work is to distinguish the components that decide its reception, based on a sample of certified and non-certified cultivators from Karnataka and Kerala in India. Quantitative information was dissected through logistic regression. Results demonstrated that three factors were critical in clarifying the accreditation reception: membership in the organization; source of income from different yields as well as the size of landholding. These outcomes extend the current information about coffee certifications and can manage activities to build the number of certified producers.","PeriodicalId":35489,"journal":{"name":"GIS-Business","volume":"476 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76695568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Effects of monetary policy on economic growth in Zimbabwe","authors":"David Damiyano, N. Dorasamy","doi":"10.26643/gis.v14i5.9670","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26643/gis.v14i5.9670","url":null,"abstract":"This research examines the hypothesis of money neutrality in Zimbabwe. After studying the relevant literature on the effects of changes in money supply on real variables, it outlines the research design for a macro-level study on the impact of changes in money supply on real variables. The hypothesis is that there is a positive relationship between money supply and real variables (GDP). The researcher used real GDP as the dependent variable whilst money supply (M3), interest rate and government expenditure were used as explanatory variables. A VAR model has been applied using the country’s macroeconomic data from 1990 to 2017 which was obtained from ZIMSTATS and World Bank Open Data website. Impulse response functions and variance decomposition were used to analyse the impact of the explanatory variables on real GDP. The results suggest that money positively affects real GDP in the short run but in the long it is insignificant in influencing real output. This means that in Zimbabwe, money is non-neutral in the long run, but it is neutral in the long run. Government expenditure has an insignificant influence on GDP both in the short and long run whilst interest rate has a positive effect on GDP in the long run. The recommendations which were given are that the government; should use expansionary monetary policy to increase real GDP, demonetise the bond note as well as the RTGS and adopting the Rand, curbing inflation through increasing production and ensuring transparency in the manner in which loans are given.","PeriodicalId":35489,"journal":{"name":"GIS-Business","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74620652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim was to characterize the petrophysical properties and structural element in the field for hydrocarbon volume estimation and determination of infill well locations. Three reservoirs were identified (J100, K100, L100) at shallow, middle and deep depths and correlated across the field using gamma ray log. Petrophysical characterization revealed porosity ranges from 25 to 27% in J100 reservoir, 16% to 27% in K100 reservoir and 11 and 18% in L100 reservoir. This shows good to very good porosity values for reservoir rocks. On average, water saturation is 80%, 68% and 70% in J100, K100, and L100 reservoirs. Net to gross ranged from 24 to 77% in J100, 38 to 82% in K100 and 29 to 75% in L100 and L100 reservoir. Average net to gross revealed that the sands are cleaner with depth. Resistivity and neutron-density logs revealed the reservoirs are oil bearing. Structural characterization of seismic date revealed the presence of synthetic and antithetic faults. Depth structure maps generated revealed closures that are anticlinal and fault supported. Oil water contact super-imposed on the structural maps revealed closures that were oil bearing. Estimation of stock tank oil initially in place revealed 19.511 mmstb, 73.576 mmstb and 19.169 mmstb for J100, K100 and L100 reservoirs respectively, indicate that they can be produced at significant profits. Two infill well placement locations were identified from petrophysical and structural characterization; one at the north central part of J100 reservoir and another at the North-Western part of K100 reservoir.","PeriodicalId":35489,"journal":{"name":"GIS-Business","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78705577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As well as the use and integration of e-learning is at the crucial stage in all developing countries. It is the most significant part of education that enhances and improves the educational system. This paper is to examine the hindrances that influence e-learning in Nigerian university system. In order to have an inclusive research, a case study research was performed in Evangel University, Akaeze, southeast of Nigeria. The paper demonstrates similar hindrances on country side. This research is a blend of questionnaires and interviews, the questionnaires was distributed to lecturers and an interview was conducted with management and information technology unit. Research had shown the use of e-learning in university education which has influenced effectively and efficiently the education system and that the University education in Nigeria is at the crucial stage of e-learning. Hence, some of the hindrances are avoiding unbeaten integration of e-learning. The aim of this research is to unravel the barriers that impede the integration of e-learning in universities in Nigeria. Nevertheless, e-learning has modified the teaching and learning approach but integration is faced with many challenges in Nigerian University.","PeriodicalId":35489,"journal":{"name":"GIS-Business","volume":"117 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77041575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Analysis of Journalists’ Views on Funding and Newspaper Survival in Nigeria","authors":"Wata Tachia","doi":"10.26643/gis.v14i5.8449","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26643/gis.v14i5.8449","url":null,"abstract":"This study analysed journalists’ views on newspaper funding and survival in Nigeria. The study adopted survey research design to obtain data in this study. The population of the study was 1478 comprising 516 active NUJ members in the FCT and 962 members from Lagos. The sample size of 169 was determined using Taro Yamene’s (1967) sample size determination published table (cited in Kusugh, 2017). To sample respondents in this study, multi stage sampling procedure was used. Structured and Semi Structured interviews were used as instruments for data collection by the researcher in the two cities. The research instruments were face and content validated by the three experts, one from the Department of Mass Communication and two statisticians in the Faculty of Statistics, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, to ensure that it measured the appropriate data. The reliability of the instrument was ensured and the result showed a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.786, suggesting that the items have relatively high internal consistency. Data were collected with the help of NUJ leadership in Abuja and Lagos State Councils as well as Research Assistants at the Benue Liaison Offices in the two cities. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and the Pearson Product-Movement Correlation Coefficient was employed to test the null hypothesis in this study. The findings from the research are thus: journalists believe that funding is important to determine newspaper survival. They also feel that traditional funding sources should be encouraged to fill the funding gaps. Another finding is that some unconventional sources of funding such as “Total newspapering,” commercialisation of news, etc harm newspapers in Nigeria. Based on the findings, the following recommendations were made: that Nigerian newspapers should be more creative in their multidimensional approach to funding through traditional and non-traditional ways; that newspaper owners should strengthen and reposition NPAN in attaining collective goals (tax relief, subsidy on printing materials, etc); that Nigerian banks should give newspaper organisations cheaper, long term loans to enable them serve the public well.","PeriodicalId":35489,"journal":{"name":"GIS-Business","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88439899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Developing the Total Student: Model for Learners as Partners in Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria","authors":"C. E. Tralagba, G Akpan Abasiama","doi":"10.26643/gis.v14i5.8465","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26643/gis.v14i5.8465","url":null,"abstract":"In addition to influencing students’ knowledge base, thinking abilities and skills; university education offers the opportunity to promote other aspects of students’ growth as people. University education has an important role in shaping our future society because today’s university students will be tomorrow’s doctors, engineers, business managers, teachers, faith leaders, politicians, citizens, activists, parents and neighbours. While they need to be able to demonstrate key skills and knowledge to enact those roles effectively, they must also demonstrate personal and social responsibility in carrying them out. While much of the current political discourse about higher education is instrumental and economic, this paper aims to lay the foundation for a discourse based on student development. Data was collected through focus group discussions with students in the various colleges in Evangel University, Akaeze - Nigeria, in-depth interviews with lecturers, administrative staff and document analyses of conference papers and journal articles. Findings reveal that the quality of tertiary education is influenced by socio–cultural, academic, economic, policy, political and administrative factors all of which are inextricably interwoven. In this case, the argument is for leadership of teaching and learning for the purpose of promoting students’ holistic development. The discussion of the findings is based on the findings on a wide range of related literature on learners’ challenges in other universities in Nigeria. The paper concludes that the quality of higher education in tertiary institutions is influenced by factors that have their roots in commercialization, general funding, and human population growth. It was recommended that appropriate policies and indigenous professionals (both academic and administrative) are necessary for improving the quality of higher education in tertiary institutions.","PeriodicalId":35489,"journal":{"name":"GIS-Business","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80622835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
