The Effect of Health, Spatial Planning and Work Discipline on Employee Work Effectiveness
Purpose: This study aims to test the hypothesis of the influence of health, spatial layout and work discipline on work effectiveness.
Methodology/approach: The research method used is associative quantitative. The population of this study were all State Civil Apparatus (ASN) totaling 50 employees at the Ogan Komering Ilir Regency Education Office. The sampling technique used non-probability sampling, namely Purposive sampling. The sources and techniques for collecting data in this study are primary data by distributing questionnaires to respondents and secondary data by collecting documentation and literature studies relevant to the research.
Results/findings: Seeing from the results of the t test, the health variable partially affects the work effectiveness variable, the spatial variable partially affects the work effectiveness variable, and also the work discipline variable partially affects work effectiveness, along with the results of the F test, the health, spatial and work discipline variables have a positive effect together on employee work effectiveness.
Limitations: This study has a scope that only aims to examine the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) only and is not comprehensive for all populations in the agency.
Contribution: The results of this study are expected to be a benchmark for learning, especially in the field of human resources and also as an additional understanding for further research. This research is also expected to make a significant contribution in the form of articles, reports and presentations, become visibility to agencies in academic and practical circles on the same topic, become a consideration or evaluation material for the leadership of the Education Office in improving health, spatial and work discipline and employee work effectiveness.

SintaThe effect of FDI Net Inflow on the GDP growth rate: 1990-2021
Purpose: This study examines the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate in Nigeria from 1990 to 2021.
Research methodology: This study employed time-series data from the World Bank’s World Development Indicator Database to ensure data homogeneity. The data were assessed for stationarity using the ADF unit root test. All the data were stationary after the first difference. The hypothesis was tested using ordinary least squares (OLS) with BLUE properties.
Results: The study finds a significant positive effect of foreign direct investment net inflow on GDPGR (p<.05). The control variables DEGO (p=0.3299) and INFL (p=0.3321) showed positive coefficients but were non-significant.
Limitations: The study used only data from the Nigerian context, from 1990 to 2021, which affects the generalizability of the study findings to other countries in SSA, and a limited number of control variables, such as DEGO and INFL.
Contribution: This study contributes to the literature on FDI’s impact of FDI on the economic growth of African nations. The research findings have critical policy implications for governments aiming to achieve sustainable economic growth.
Practical Implications: This study has policy implications for developmental governance in Nigeria and SSA countries.
Novelty: This study deviates from prior studies that agree that illicit financial flows in the form of FDI outflows negatively affect growth and focus on FDI net inflows’ beneficial impacts on the Nigerian economy.

Law enforcement of agricultural commodity circulation in the perspective of state revenue
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to determine the legal arrangements for the circulation of agricultural commodities from the perspective of state revenue and how the implementation, obstacle factors, and law enforcement solutions for the circulation of agricultural commodities from the perspective of state revenue.
Research methodology: The research method of this journal is normative juridical (legal research) through a literature study with an empirical juridical approach (sociological juridical) through a field study that aims to empirically obtain legal knowledge.
Results: The results showed that the legal regulation of the circulation of agricultural commodities from the perspective of state revenue, namely Article 86, regulates the act of entering the carrier media by not completing the health certificate, through the place of entry determined by the Central Government, or not reporting or not submitting the Carrier Media as regulated in Article 33 of Law Number 21 of 2019.
Implementation: The implementation of law enforcement on the circulation of agricultural commodities from the perspective of state revenue, namely the implementation of law enforcement against criminal acts of smuggling agricultural commodities, encounters various obstacles, ranging from geographical factors and limited resources to inter-agency coordination. These constraints affect the effectiveness of supervision and prosecution. However, capacity-building efforts, closer coordination between institutions, and public education can be solutions to overcome these challenges, ensuring the protection of the agricultural sector and state revenue.

Juridical analysis of entry and exit points for animal and plant quarantine carrier media
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the legal arrangements for the place of entry and release of animal and plant quarantine carrier media, and the factors, constraints, solutions, and implementation of the place of entry and release of animal and plant quarantine carrier media.
Methodology: The research method of this thesis is normative juridical (legal research) through a literature study with an empirical juridical approach (sociological juridical) through field studies aimed at empirically obtaining legal knowledge.
Results: The results showed that the legal regulation of the place of entry and release of animal and plant quarantine carrier media is Article 86 and Article 87 of Law Number 21 of 2019 concerning Animal, Fish and Plant Quarantine, which regulates the prohibition of entering or removing animal and plant quarantine carrier media other than the place of entry and release determined by the Central Government. The implementation of animal and plant quarantine entry and exit points at the Batam Class I Agricultural Quarantine Center reflects serious efforts to maintain the integrity of the national biological security. However, there are obstacles, such as limited human resources, inadequate facilities, and challenges in inter-stakeholder coordination. However, by applying the latest technology, increasing the capacity of human resources through training, and improving coordination and communication with related parties, the Batam Quarantine Center found a strategic solution to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its services in carrying out quarantine duties.

An exploratory survey of localization and translation in Zimbabwe's agricultural and pharmaceutical industries in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)
Purpose: This study aims to explore the elements of localization and translation for the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries in Zimbabwe to ensure that the localization of pharmaceutical and agricultural products is made available.
Research methodology: This study applied an exploratory research approach to answer the key questions that emerge from the deficit of research and application of localization in Zimbabwe.
Results: The time has come for language specialists and others in the areas of medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, and information communication technology (ICT) to work together to ensure that product packaging, instructions of use, and other related product information for both locally produced and imported products are in the languages spoken by local communities in which these products are used.
Limitations: Localization and translation are still in their infancy in Africa in general and Zimbabwe in particular. As such, research and literature about this emerging area of applied language studies are still scarce. While the researchers would have liked to engage literature on the subject in greater detail, the paucity of literature on the subject only afforded the researchers an exploratory kind of study. The current study was conducted with the hope of stimulating further research on this promising area of research.
Contribution: By answering the above questions, this exploratory study hopes to contribute to localization and translation as language industries to ensure that pharmaceutical and agricultural products are localized for the benefit of end-users.
