Abstrak: The ability of Small and Medium Enterprises (UKM) in Indonesia to penetrate the global market or to increase the export-import products is determined by a combination of several relatively superior factors of an enterprise and its competitors. Faced with the characteristics and obstacles in operating, UKM may raise its loan or credit pass through sharia banking. The development of national sharia banking is basically directed to create healthy sharia banking and perform consistent Islamic principles. The objectives of developing sharia banking are (1) to fulfill the requirements of the society in need of banking services consistent with the sharia principles, and (2) to create an alternative banking system that has a variety of products and surplus services. The method of assessing sharia loan is by using the growth-profit ratio pursuant to the report of sharia loan of UKM in 2003-2007, whose figures are used as the basis of assessing sharia funding. The SWOT analysis was used to evaluate its implementation strategy. The UKM funding at sharia banking may be used as the basis of the evaluation of success in obtaining profit.

Abstrak: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in herbal remedies such as cayenne pepper which is known for its versatility beyond its culinary use. Cayenne pepper’s phytochemicals, including capsaicinoids, carotenoids, phenolic compounds, vitamins, and minerals, offer antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antiinflammatory properties, making it a valuable ingredient in various fields such as veterinary medicine, agro-food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. However, concerns regarding the potential risks of cayenne pepper consumption as herbal medicine arise. This study aims to determine the acute oral toxicity lethal dose 50 (LD50) of cayenne pepper infusion in female DDY strain mice and its effects on the mice's organs. The research involved 20 DDY strain female mice divided into 4 groups which are control group (administered with distilled water) and treatment groups that are given cayenne pepper infusion at doses of 5, 10, and 15 g/kg BW orally. The observed variables included mortality, clinical symptoms, physiological responses, and organ weight. Acute toxicity testing indicated that the cayenne pepper infusion falls into the category of practically non toxic formulations. Administration of the cayenne pepper infusion up to a dose of 15 g/kg BW did not induce toxicity symptoms, such as clinically pathological symptoms, macro anatomical organ changes, or mortality nor affect both weight gain and loss.
