Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research

The standardization of raw materials from nature is essential before they are made into products. Until now, there is still limited information regarding the standardization of propolis from stingless bees. This research aims to determine the bioactivity with standardized specific and non-specific parameters of ethanol extracts from Homotrigona apicalis and Homotrigona fimbriata propolis. The methods include organoleptic tests, tests for water-soluble and ethanol-soluble compound content, drying shrinkage tests, specific gravity tests, water content tests, metal contamination tests, phytochemical screening, and determining total phenolic and flavonoid content. The free radical scavenging capacity was measured using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method, and antimicrobial …

Institutional Support's Influence On Green Beekeeping Adoption In Resource-Constrained Biharamulo Forest Reserve, Tanzania: The Extended Theory Of Planned Behavior, Haruna Athumani, Ranger Kanan, Gerald Zachary Paga Tinali

Business Management Review

Green production practices are crucial for environmental conservation, yet scholarly research on green beekeeping remains limited. This study seeks to enhance the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by developing an extended model of Institutional Support theory of Planned Behavior (ISTPB) to understand better beekeepers' behavior toward adopting green beekeeping practices. The model focuses on institutional support and its role in shaping individual behavior related to green beekeeping adoption. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), the study's empirical results show that institutional support and the three original TPB components, i.e., attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, positively and significantly influence green …
