The concept of paddy agribusiness is a more modern perspective on paddy farming. The interconnection between subsystems will elevate the cultivation subsystem into a promising job as the core of the agribusiness system. The research wants to determine whether the perception of paddy agribusiness increases the interest of the youth to become paddy farmers. 400 youths who are still in school or college, and are pursuing both agricultural and non-agricultural majors participated in the study in south Borneo. The participants’ ages ranged from 15 to 28. Analysis using binary logit regression. The results showed that the perception of paddy agribusiness affects the interest of the youth to become paddy farmers in South Borneo. The dominant variable in the model is the agriculture major chosen by the respondent, and the following variable determinant is paddy as the type of respondent plant selected. The model used is feasible or has a correct prediction accuracy of 89.25% by including other variables that are confounding.
Awareness about Minimum Support Price among the farmers over the Agro-Ecologi...IJSRP Journal
The present is paper an attempt to analyse the awareness level about MSP among the farming community. The various initiatives taken by the government would result into a more fruitful way if the programmes are widely spread over both the horizontal and vertical strata of a region. The objective of extending support to the farming community through such programmes is to strengthen the agriculture sector by giving security to the farmers to face the price fall. This would certainly ensure the fair remunerations to the farmers resulting in the development of the rural areas. The data used in the analyses are collected from the field survey well spread over the different agro-ecological zones and the response of the farming respondents are recorded on the well designed questionnaire. The study shows that the vulnerable sections of the society are still neither aware of such programmes nor getting reasonable benefits.

Characterization of inflammatory syndrome in smokers, from C-Reactive protein...Open Access Research Paper
A local inflammatory syndrome is characterized by a classic semiological tetrad: pain, swelling, redness and heat. These signs are easily observed when the inflammation concerns the skin or an adjacent tissue. Throughout this study, the aim was to characterize chronic inflammation in smokers using two parameters, rate of erythrocytes sedimentation (RES) and C – reactive protein (CRP). Our study was done on a sample of 35 smoking subjects, composed of men and women. The CRP measurement o was carried out using a CRP-Latex agglutination test which detects only serum CRP levels around 6mg/L. The technique used for the RES measurement is that of Westergreen. From the results, we observed that 31% of our sample presented a positive CRP and a high RES against 40% having regular CRP and RES. The gender of the subject did not play a role in the results obtained. On the other hand, a significant difference (p = 0.031) in CRP was observed between subjects with normal RES and those with high RES. Therefore, these results make it difficult to confirm that RES and CRP can be used as reliable markers for the characterization of inflammation linked to smoking.

Mortality rate of children under the age of five has reduced worldwide, but still the probability of a child dying before the age of five is greatest in underdeveloped countries. Pakistan reports child mortality rates in same bracket as other South Asian countries due to malnutrition and diarrhea. To determine the prevalence and factors associated in children less than five years of age a cross sectional study was conducted with mothers whose children were admitted in pediatric government Hospital, Lahore. A convenient sample of 101 children (6-59 months, 53 males and 48 females) suffering from malnutrition and diarrhea were selected from hospital. Data about socio demographic, anthropometric, clinical and dietary variables were collected and analyzed by using SPSS version 16. The results showed that mean age of patients was 19.36 ± 10.5 months. The illiteracy rate among mother and father of patients was 94.1% and 69.3% respectively. 94.1% of the patients were breastfed while 47.5% of the patients were on bottle feed with breast milk. 66.3% patients families has very low-income rate while 33.7% were satisfactory. 40.6% patients were not vaccinated against immunization. Out of 101 patients, 39.6% of the patients had diarrhea while 6.9% of the patients had chronic diarrhea. The prevalence rate of diarrhea (39%) was less among children who were younger than 18 months as compared to those who were above 18 months (40.5%). The most significant factors that caused the incidence of diarrhea in children was form of water storage system, complementary feeding practices, and hand wash cleaning materials. This study concluded that government, nongovernmental organizations and families living with children and mothers could cooperate on strategies to minimize the risks of the diarrhea among children less than five years of age.

Characterization of inflammatory syndrome in smokers, from C-Reactive protein...Open Access Research Paper
A local inflammatory syndrome is characterized by a classic semiological tetrad: pain, swelling, redness and heat. These signs are easily observed when the inflammation concerns the skin or an adjacent tissue. Throughout this study, the aim was to characterize chronic inflammation in smokers using two parameters, rate of erythrocytes sedimentation (RES) and C – reactive protein (CRP). Our study was done on a sample of 35 smoking subjects, composed of men and women. The CRP measurement o was carried out using a CRP-Latex agglutination test which detects only serum CRP levels around 6mg/L. The technique used for the RES measurement is that of Westergreen. From the results, we observed that 31% of our sample presented a positive CRP and a high RES against 40% having regular CRP and RES. The gender of the subject did not play a role in the results obtained. On the other hand, a significant difference (p = 0.031) in CRP was observed between subjects with normal RES and those with high RES. Therefore, these results make it difficult to confirm that RES and CRP can be used as reliable markers for the characterization of inflammation linked to smoking.
Prevalence of diarrhea among severely malnourished children admitted in Gover...Open Access Research Paper
Mortality rate of children under the age of five has reduced worldwide, but still the probability of a child dying before the age of five is greatest in underdeveloped countries. Pakistan reports child mortality rates in same bracket as other South Asian countries due to malnutrition and diarrhea. To determine the prevalence and factors associated in children less than five years of age a cross sectional study was conducted with mothers whose children were admitted in pediatric government Hospital, Lahore. A convenient sample of 101 children (6-59 months, 53 males and 48 females) suffering from malnutrition and diarrhea were selected from hospital. Data about socio demographic, anthropometric, clinical and dietary variables were collected and analyzed by using SPSS version 16. The results showed that mean age of patients was 19.36 ± 10.5 months. The illiteracy rate among mother and father of patients was 94.1% and 69.3% respectively. 94.1% of the patients were breastfed while 47.5% of the patients were on bottle feed with breast milk. 66.3% patients families has very low-income rate while 33.7% were satisfactory. 40.6% patients were not vaccinated against immunization. Out of 101 patients, 39.6% of the patients had diarrhea while 6.9% of the patients had chronic diarrhea. The prevalence rate of diarrhea (39%) was less among children who were younger than 18 months as compared to those who were above 18 months (40.5%). The most significant factors that caused the incidence of diarrhea in children was form of water storage system, complementary feeding practices, and hand wash cleaning materials. This study concluded that government, nongovernmental organizations and families living with children and mothers could cooperate on strategies to minimize the risks of the diarrhea among children less than five years of age.
Accuracy of cervico vaginal fetal fibronectin test in predicting risk of spon...Open Access Research Paper
Preterm delivery is the leading cause of neonatal mortality. One of the best predictors to assess the risk of preterm labour (PTB) is by measuring fetal fibronectin (fFN) in cervico vaginal secretion after 26 weeks of pregnancy. The aim is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of qualitative cervico vaginal fFN in symptomatic women and asymptomatic high risk women during antenatal care. Prospective study which was conducted in Basrah Maternity and Child Hospital. It included 106 pregnant women at gestational age more than 26 weeks who had uterine contraction with or without pervious risk factors for PTB. Cervico vaginal fluid sampling was undertaken from all women included in the study after the age of 26 weeks of gestation and qualitative fFN assessment was done with 50ng/ml is the cut off point for positivity. As regard qualitative fFN assessment for predicting of PTB sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, were 71%, 87%, 40.50%, 94% respectively in symptomatic women. While in asymptomatic women with previous high risk had 26% sensitivity, 84% specificity, 32% PPV, and 87% NPV. Qualitative assessment of fFN in cervico vaginal fluid is good predictive marker in detecting of PTB.

According to WHO, Drug utilization research is defined as ‘the marketing, distribution, recommendation and utilize of drugs in a society, with particular focus on the resulting medical, social and economic results. In many developed countries, a number of studies about utilization of drug have been conducted, which indicates a wide proof of irrational drug use. The drug use indicators are considered as objective measures that can be extended to identify practices of medicines utilization in any health facility, country or an entire region. To check the drug utilize pattern in Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities of Bhakkar district Punjab Pakistan. Using WHO core drug use indicators, a prospective cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in health facilities of Bhakkar district. A total of 40 prescriptions were analyzed. The average age of patients visiting HC centers was 33.11 years (female 35.79; male 30.40). 3.65 was the average number of prescribed drugs. 27% was the percentage of encounters with at least one prescribed antibiotic whereas 35% was the percentage of encounters with at least one prescribed injection prescribed, which was low. 25% is the total percentage of drugs given using generic names was noticed. The average consultation and dispensing time of 40 prescriptions was 2.02 minutes and 42.52 seconds. The study demonstrates that trend toward irrational practice mainly on use of antibiotics and non-generic prescribing in most of health facilities studied. Patient care given by health facilities studied was inadequate and thus for encouragement of rational drug use practice, an effective intervention program is recommended.
Diabetes is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in different continents of the world. Many diabetes victims are found in developing countries like Sub-Saharan Africa. However, some developed nations like United States and Europe record significant records on diabetes prevalence. Studies project a dramatic increase of the infection spread in the world. Also, it provides visible results on the effects of the infection among the victims and the society at large. Studies of type 2 diabetes prevalence indicate minimal rates in rural population and moderate results in the developed regions of the same country. Such results create an alarm to the unaffected regions. The frequent observation of modestly high prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance in areas with low prevalence of diabetes indicate risk of early stage of diabetes epidemics.

The frequency of Staphylococcus aureus carriage among healthy food handlers at the students’ cafeteria at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri Nigeria was investigated. Nasal and throat swab samples were obtained from 54 food handlers, and analysed using standard microbiological methods. A total of 28 (51.9%) food handlers were positive for S. aureus. Twenty one of the food handlers (38.9%) harbor S. aureus in their nostrils, 11 (20.4%) in their throat, while 6(11.1%) harbor it in both their nostrils and throats. The exclusive colonization of the throat (20.4%) of the studied food handlers, demonstrated the importance of the throat as a site of colonization for S. aureus. Antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates shows that all the isolated S. aureus were susceptible to nitrofurantoin and cefuroxime, but resistant to penicillin, chloramphenicol, cotrimazole. The isolates were also 25%, 28.6% and 35.7% susceptible to ampicillin, amoxycillin and erythromycin, respectively. This study has further shown the need for routine regular screening of food handlers for both nasal and throat carriage of S. aureus so as to detect early and treat carriers in order to protect the general public from staphylococcal food poisoning. The high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in S. aureus isolated from the healthy food handlers is of great public health concern, as it shows a growing problem of antimicrobial resistance in the community. This study thus, recommends an urgent formulation of a national policy on antibiotics by the Nigerian government for regulation and management of antibiotics use.

Ablo is wet bread, slightly salty and sweet, steamed and sold in the form of pellets. The study has for objective to follow microbiological and physicochemical changes during the fermentation of the millet’s dough and sorghum’s dough for the production of two new types of Ablo. The methodology adopted consisted in performing production’s essay followed by analyses in the laboratory. The dominant micro flora of the fermentation of millet-based Ablo and sorghum-based Ablo was constituted of lactic bacteria and yeasts and moulds. The evolution of lactic bacteria was inversely proportional to the decrease of the pH and the material dry during fermentation.
Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
Cloning and expression of Human glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD 65) gene in ...Open Access Research Paper
Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the inability of body to produce or respond to insulin a hormone required by body to burn glucose for energy. Type I Diabetes mellitus, also known as Insulin Dependent Diabetes mellitus is a most frequent chronic disease of childhood, afflicts 0.2-0.3% of human individuals due to auto immune destruction of insulin secreting pancreatic β cells. GAD65 is the major auto antigen in Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IIDM). Thus, this project is aimed at expression of GAD65 in E. coli. GAD65 gene was cloned into pET-28a bacterial expression vector and expression was studied in BL21 DE3 cells. Different parameters of induction like isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), temperature, time interval were standardized. The recombinant clones induced with 2 μM of IPTG at 30oC for 4 h at flask level produced the protein upto 537μg/ml. Furthermore, the specificity of the purified recombinant protein was confirmed by western blot analysis using monoclonal antibodies. This work establishes a strategy in E. coli for the expression of GAD65 with optimized parameters.
Hepatitis B, a common viral infection, affecting millions of people every year, leads to disability and death. It has become one of the alarming diseases in the world. Vaccination is the best possible way to prevent this deadly viral infection and its consequences. Unaffordability of the mass vaccination program due to low health budgets especially in developing countries have demanded the economical, effective and easily available vaccine production against hepatitis B virus. The expression of subunit vaccines and recombinant proteins in plants is a convenient, safe and potentially economical platform technology. Hence, development of a plant-based vaccine could be promising. Therefore, the present investigation focused on expression and large- scale production of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in Coleus forskohlii for the development of vaccine. Eight transformed C. forskohlii plants were generated via Agrobacterium -mediated transformation method. The integration of 681bp of HBsAg gene into the plant genome was confirmed using PCR. SDS-PAGE showed the presence of ~48kDa dimer and ~24kDa monomer form of HBsAg protein and the expression of recombinant protein was further confirmed by western blot. C. forskohlii expressed HBs Ag was recorded 260µg/g leaf fresh weight as measured by ELISA. Transformed plants of HBsAg showed the accumulation of Virus Like Particles of 22 nm size using transmission electron microscopy. This study offers a great potential for the large -scale production of hepatitis B vaccine in C. forskohlii which provides a strategy for contributing a means to achieve global immunization for the hepatitis B prevention and eradication.
Genetic diversity and association analysis for different morphological traits...Open Access Research Paper
Capsicum annuum L. is the extensively cultivated species of peppers (chilies) in all over the world. Its fruits are used for spiciness (capsaicin) and color (capsanthin) in our daily foods. Pakistan is the leading chili consuming country. Genetic divergence among 25 accessions (local and exotic) collected from Ayub Agriculture Research Institute (AARI) Faisalabad, Pakistanwas estimated from the data collected during the year 2014 in the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan for different morphological and growth parameters viz fruit width, fruit length, peduncle length, number of primary branches, inter nodal length, plant height, seed index, 1000 seed weight, fresh and dry fruit weight, pericarp thickness, leaf area and seeds per fruit. Based on this characterization the plants were grouped into 5 clusters and diversity among accessions was indicated by the wide range of D2 values whereas phenotypic correlation for all the characters was found significant. Five components were selected as principle components with Eigen values > 1. These components exhibited 77.2% of the variation. The first principal component (PC I) explained 27.2% of total variation in original data, second component (PC II) explained 18.9%, and third principal component (PC III) explained 12.5% of variation. The other principal components (PC IV and PC V explained an additional 18.6% of the variation (a total 77.2% of explained variation. Accessions with distinct identity were marked, which are likely to be quite suitable for breeding through hybridization by combining desirable traits. High estimates of broad sense heritability (90%) for all the characters except peduncle length predicted that selection could be awarding in late segregating generations and above accessions could be utilized in hybridization programme for C. annuum crop improvement.
Use of Raffias’ species (Raphia spp.) and its impact on socioeconomic charact...Open Access Research Paper
Raffias’ species are used in handcrafts, constructions, food processing etc. But in Benin, any quantitative ethnobotanical study was not evaluated for their use and socioeconomic impact of uses on average income. This study investigated the importance of use of raffias’ species and the impact of socioeconomic characteristics of informants on the household income. Ethnobotany quantitative approach was used and data on use, products prices and the quantity sold were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire administered during an interview. The result showed that raffias’ species in Benin are used principally for craft (CI = 1.41 for R. hookeri and 1.68 for R. sudanica), but R. hookeri was most important for people in Guinean zone than those in soudanian and soudano-guinean zones. The frequently uses were the beds, mats, baskets and roofs. The most part of the plant used is the rachis for both species and the less used is the nut. Education level, gender and main activities were socioeconomic variable which influenced the annual income from exploitation of raffias species. The uneducated, men and farmers took more income from raffias’ species than others. Also, the development level of areas where the species are found, influence the income from their exploitations. To evaluate better the contribution of raffias’ species to regional and national gross product, it will be necessary to study the value chain of the main products, but also take into account the informant categories defined in this study regarding operators.
Biochemical and histological changes associated with methanolic leaf extract ...Open Access Research Paper
This study examined the biochemical and histological changes associated with methanolic leaf extract of Gongronema latifolium in acetaminophen-induced hepatic toxicity in wistar albino rats. The serum liver enzymesALT, AST and ALP decreased significantly (p<0.05) in the test animals treated with 600mg/kg of the leaf extract. Protein concentration increased significantly (p<0.05) in the test animals treated with 600mg/kg of the leaf extract.The effect of the G. latifolium leaf extract seems to be dose dependent on the liver enzymes and protein concentration measured. The results showed that acetaminophen-induced hepatic toxicity in the wistar albino rats as observed in the negative control was reversed with the administration of the leaf extract of Gongronema latifolium (in groups 3, 4 and 5) in the test animals. The histological analysis of the liver showed that the extract had a normalising effect on the effected liver. These results indicate that the leaf extract of Gongronema latifolium exhibits biochemical and histological changes and can be used against some hepatic inflammations.

Interaction of cholesterol which is an essential structural component of animal cell membranes that is required to establish proper membrane permeability and fluidity and the bile chenodeoxycholic acid which significantly increased serum total cholesterol, and high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and dissolves gallstones appears to be one of pivotal problem of biomedical gastroenterology. The methods of spin labels and spin probes have been proved to be power tools for solving structural and dynamical problems of chemistry and biology on molecular level. In present work the method of spin probes was used for investigation of quantitative interaction of cholesterol and chenodeoxycholic acid in ethanol possessing dielectric properties similar to ones of biological membranes. Using Electron Spin Resonance of nitroxide spin probe, it was shown that in the ethanol solution cholesterol molecules form aggregates, modeling a gallstone, which effectively bound chenodeoxycholic acid. The developed method can be used for study relationships between cholesterol and chenodeoxycholic acid in the in human blood, high-density-lipoproteins and gallstones.

This study could justify the use of Sakersia africana of some chronic diseases.
Pharmacological activities of Andrographis paniculata, Allium sativum and Adh...Open Access Research Paper
Andrographis paniculata, Allium sativum and Adhatoda vasica are the three important medicinal plants in which it is used for daily consumption by the user especially in the rural areas. Not only rural people are seeking for the medical benefits from the medicinal plants but also urban people because trying to eliminate the side effects of synthetic medicine on health. Research using these three plants should not stop here and must be extensively employed by the researchers and try to get more medical properties which is useful for the public. Andrographolide from Andrographis paniculata is the active component obtained from the aerial parts of this plant, having very bitter taste. It is a bicyclic diterpenoid lactone with multiple pharmacological activities. In 1997, garlic (Allium sativum) was the most widely used natural supplement in US house-holds. Garlic was shown to be used more than twice as much as any other natural supplement. Extract of Adhatoda vasica leaves has been used for the treatment of various diseases and disorders in Ayurved and Unani medicine. The plant has been used in the indigenous system of medicine in India for more than 2000 years. Compounds which are present in the plant/s which when consumed it promote the health of the consumers although some studies suggest that consumption may lead to toxic effect but in general it is safe to consume moderately. In many literature survey, researchers are trying the best to overcome the bacterial resistance by isolating compounds from the medicinal plants (one of the method) due to the resistance of bacterias towards synthetic chemicals. Overally this proved the importance of the medicinal plants.
A lot of literature reviews about Andrographis paniculata has been published previously. Researchers are critically involved in the research to extract out the potential medicinal value that possess by the “King of Bitter”. It has a broad pharmacological value. Traditionally many disease condition have been treated successfully. The success of the plant is due to the presence of few bioactive compounds such as andrographolide, homo-andrographolide andrographesterol, andrographopne which are identified through the phythochemistry studies of the plant which are having the wide therapeutic activities. The extremely bitter taste of the plant is due the compound known as andrographolide. However this bitter plant is having a sweet future for those appreciated the benefits of the plant. From the review it is proven that Andrographis paniculata is having antioxidant, hepatoprotective, antimicrobial, anticancer, antivenom, anti HIV, antimalarial, antipyretic, antifertility, antidiarrhoeal, antidiabetic, antihiperlipidemic activities. Variety of literature concerning about the toxicity studies has confirmed that the plant is safe to consume although few findings revealed that consuming Andrographis paniculata for a long period of time may possess some unwanted action especially in the fertility studies.

Abstract
The concept of paddy agribusiness is a more modern perspective on paddy farming. The interconnection
between subsystems will elevate the cultivation subsystem into a promising job as the core of the agribusiness
system. The research wants to determine whether the perception of paddy agribusiness increases the interest of
the youth to become paddy farmers. 400 youths who are still in school or college, and are pursuing both
agricultural and non-agricultural majors participated in the study in south Borneo. The participants' ages ranged
from 15 to 28. Analysis using binary logit regression. The results showed that the perception of paddy
agribusiness affects the interest of the youth to become paddy farmers in South Borneo. The dominant variable
in the model is the agriculture major chosen by the respondent, and the following variable determinant is paddy
as the type of respondent plant selected. The model used is feasible or has a correct prediction accuracy of
89.25% by including other variables that are confounding.

initiative, and creativity, such as Malaysia developing
agriculture with global agribusiness terminology
(Kasim et al., 2013). Also, this approach is expected to
build harmonious relations between agriculture,
industry, and services, increasing competitive
advantage over comparative advantage, driven by
capital and innovation like start-up platforms and
FinTech (Hinson et al., 2019; Yami et al., 2019). The
concept of agribusiness can carry high technology
that plays a role in the new strategy of agricultural
development: while maintaining aspects of quality
and environmental sustainability (Zambon et al.,
2019).
The approach of agribusiness as smart agriculture will
change the youth's perception of the agricultural
sector—model smart agriculture for the youth,
especially the unemployed (Nhamo and Chikoye,
2017a). Smart agribusiness increases productivity and
agricultural value (Sung, 2016).
Agribusiness can be a place for the youth to work as
entrepreneurs. Agribusiness can support engineering
and finance, agricultural profits, and sustainability,
showing an interest in becoming a young
entrepreneur (Pelzom and Katel, 2017). Career
incentives in agriculture must be considered to attract
fresh graduates from agriculturally educated students
(Unay-Gailhard et al., 2019). We need a plan to
socialize youths to want to farm as more farmers from
non-farm backgrounds enter into agriculture and
desire to practice agriculture (Carolan, 2018).
Because it does have challenging to realize, especially
facing youth with a strong interest in technology and
innovation, the need to change the perception of
young people about agricultural (Boström, 2012;
Magagula and Tsvakirai, 2020; Nhamo and Chikoye,
2017b; Toader and Roman, 2015). Policies should
assist young people who intend to farm and those
who would tend if they had a better chance (Ruiz
Salvago et al., 2019).
The paddy agribusiness system is an integrated
subsystem. With paddy farmers in the farm
subsystem, other subsystems will exist. The paddy
farming business, following the wishes of young
people, needs to be started soon so that in the future,
it becomes a job that is in demand by the youth. The
research aims to examine the influence of paddy
agribusiness perceptions on the interest of the youth
to become paddy farmers in South Borneo, Indonesia.
Materials and methods
Study area
This study focused on South Borneo, Indonesia, with
wetlands areas for alternate paddy center production.
For the sustainability of rice production, local
governments need to prepare the youth to replace
aging farmers.
Study design
The study analyzes the youth's interest in becoming
farmers with a binary logit regression. The equation
model includes the main variables of paddy
agribusiness system perception and confounding
variables such as age, gender, education, major,
gender, place of origin, parental occupation, and the
type of plant selected. The research results can be
used as the basis for decision-making to develop a
paddy agribusiness program for the youth in South
Borneo.
The analysis used a multivariable logistic regression
with a response changer (interest in working as a
paddy farmer). The multivariable logistic regression
formula is as follows:
Loge [ ] = α +β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3+ β4X4+ β5X5 +
β6X6 + β7D1 + β8D2 + β9D3+ β10D4+ β11D5 + β12D6 +

Results and discussion
Validation and reliability tests
The validation test results (Table 2) for paddy
agribusiness perception showed three insignificant
with values ρ > α = 0.05 items, so it was decided to
remove items from the questionnaire, namely item 2,
item 7, and item 14. Meanwhile, the results of the
reliability test of the Cronbach alpha coefficient of
0.829 (Table 3) greater than 0.7 indicate a reliable
questionnaire. The indicators used to compile the
questionnaire can be seen in Table 1.
Perception of paddy agribusiness and the interest of
the youth to become rice farmers
Most of the respondents showed interest in
agriculture or became paddy farmers. Almost 86.5%
of respondents are interested in becoming paddy
farmers with the concept of agribusiness (Table 4).
The logit regression functions obtained from the
results of the analysis are;

Their perception of paddy agribusiness allegedly
influences the youth's interest in paddy farmers. It is
suspected that there is an improved perception or
considers rice farming as an interesting agribusiness
concept to make the youth interested in becoming
farmers or wanting to work as farmers in the future
(Nhamo and Chikoye, 2017a).

The study's results (Table 5) had a statistical H-L of
9.943 with ρ value 0.2691 > α = 0.05, not rejected H0
means that the model is acceptable because there is
no significant difference between the model and its
observation value. The logit equation model has a
good goodness fit so that it can be used to explain the
phenomenon.
The R2MFD value of only 0.43 or the variation in the
youth's interest in paddy agribusiness of only 43% can
be explained by all the variables in the model, the
remaining 57% by other variables that have not been
included. The model is suitable to estimate the
interest of being a paddy farmer with a correct total
predicted value of 89.25%; in other words, the
4. 66 Sitanggang et al.
Int. J. Biosci. 2023
accuracy of this model is good. So the simultaneous
variation of all variables in the model can explain the
probability of the youth being interested in paddy
farmers. Based on the value of ρ <0.05 in the partial
test (Table 6), the variables which have a dominant
effect on the chances of the youth being interested in
paddy farmers ( ) from the most influence were
major (X4), plant selected; paddy (D6), the
perception of paddy agribusiness (X6), and the parent
occupation: a merchant (D4). While age and sex
variables have no effect, this is in line with the study
(Bosompem et al., 2017).

Conclusion
The perception of paddy agribusiness is not the
dominant determining variable in the youth's interest
in becoming rice farmers. If the perception of paddy
agribusiness can be even better, the chance that the
youth is interested will increase by more than 1.4
times the perception of bad ones. The major
agriculture chosen by the respondents turned out to
support the interest of the youth to become rice
farmers up to 10 times rather than non-agricultural
ones. The research results illustrate that agricultural
education does well in fostering the interest of its
students. However, interest can change due to many
factors or circumstances that make respondents not
work as paddy farmers. The South Borneo regional
government needs to develop a young farmer
6. 68 Sitanggang et al.
Int. J. Biosci. 2023
program to welcome the youth's interest so they can
be realized as paddy farmers. The agribusiness
curriculum will increase the perception of paddy
agribusiness so that the youth is increasingly
interested in becoming paddy farmers. The
government's young farmer program will be
successful if it collaborates with educational
institutions, schools, and colleges. The combination
of improved perceptions and programs of young
farmers in agriculture will provide young farmers
with for regeneration of the sustainability of food
security in South Borneo.
