“…The cultural aspects of products and services cannot be overlooked in the purchasing behavior of consumers [65]. The behavior of consumers is subjective and can be influenced by the agreement of products with their cultural values [66]. Indeed, the results of the direct relationships examined in this research are supported by earlier studies.…”

The literature has highlighted that international students abroad exhibit a strong preference for products from their country compared with foreign products and services, thus suggesting that the cultural disposition of consumers influences their purchasing decisions. Therefore, this current research aimed to determine how the feeling of groundedness could affect international students’ purchasing behavior in Malaysia through cultural products and services. To this end, quantitative data were collected from international students at the University of Malaya and the University Utara Malaysia and then analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM). The findings of this research highlighted that consumer behavior was influenced by a “feeling of groundedness”. This suggested that cultural services and products are valued by international students in foreign universities because of their ability to evoke a feeling of groundedness. The theoretical contributions of this study, particularly to the consumer behavior literature, are extensive, including how it highlights the influence of the feeling of groundedness on international consumers’ purchasing behavior. The marketing implications of this research are also valuable for businesses targeting international students.

“…Unlike other nanomaterials, bionanomaterials can be synthesized easily from plant and animal raw materials [6]. Applying BNMs to plants has positively affected plants, such as increased growth, crop protection, and seed germination [7,8,9]. Natural fiber materials are widely used in nanomaterial research in Indonesia, such as oil palm.…”

Peatlands are acidic with low fertility. Conversely, shallow peat can become a food source for local communities, thus requiring soil amendment to improve productivity and sustainable use. One of the ways is by applying bionanomaterials (BNMs) derived from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) and oil palm trunk (OPT) as well as Shorea balangeran compost as an indigenous shallow peat species. This study aims to analyze the effect of BNMs on rice germination in a laboratory (in vitro) and rice growth in the greenhouse (in vivo). The experimental design used a completely random design of 2 factors, namely rice varieties and BNMs (activated, non-activated OPEFB, OPT lignocellulose, and non-activated OPT, respectively, at doses of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%) (in vitro) as well as rice varieties and ameliorant (BNMs, compost) (in vivo). The results showed that BNMs affected average sprout height and germination rates on a laboratory scale. BNMs derived from an activated OPEFB rate of 5% produce the highest percentage of plant life (49.2%) (in vivo). Meanwhile, S. balangeran compost affects the percent of plant life (45.8%). The combination of BNMs and compost application can be applied to peat rice to increase productivity and maintain peatlands’ fertility.

“…Crops can be exposed to nano-carbon through direct or land applications, as nano-carbon is increasingly used in agriculture (Aacharya and Chhipa 2020). These materials can potentially enter the plant cells through critical substance pathways, affecting various metabolic processes and crop development (Abd-Elsalam et al 2020).…”

Background and aims Elucidating the relationship between extraneous nano-scale carbon properties and the metabolomic response of early Zea mays L. seedling establishment roots is crucial to reveal nano-carbon regulation and nutrient transport mechanisms. Methods Herein, humic acid and graphite nanoplatelets represented typical organic and inorganic morphologies of nano-scale carbon. We used equimolar exogenous carbon inputs (0.4, 2, 4 mol C kg−1) to investigate the regulation of nitrogen metabolism using LC-MS, phenotype and physiology of root, nitrogen metabolism-related enzyme activities and endogenous hormones. Results Our findings demonstrate that humic acid and graphite nanoplatelets promote root thickening and branching. The most prominent effects on root vitality, injury intensity, and total active absorption area were observed with 2 mol C kg−1 graphite nanoplatelets and 4 mol C kg−1 humic acid. The trend of nitrogen metabolism activity remained consistent, involving the assimilation of NR and NiR and the primary synergistic regulation of GO and GOGAT. Notably, 2 mol C kg−1 graphite nanoplatelets induced the dynamic and selective up-regulation of pyruvic acid and down-regulation of tyramine and methyl phosphate, resulting in changes in energy metabolism and a small subset of amino acid metabolism. 4 mol C kg−1 humic acid resulted in the down-regulation of the amino acids (L-asparagine, pyruvic acid, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamine, fumaric acid), which are involved in nitrogen metabolism-related processes. Conclusion Overall, these findings highlight additional graphite nanoplatelets regulated nitrogen assimilation and protein synthesis pathways to improve nitrogen availability. Nano-carbon showed a potential role in reprogramming the agricultural traits.
