Authors: Hamdy A Shaaban
Published: February 2023

A comprehensive study was carried out to assess the microbiological, nutritional, biochemical and essential oil characteristics of three Egyptian traditional cultivars seeds, namely, cumin (Cuminum cyminum) and coriander (Coriandum sativum) spices as well as basil whole herb (Ocimum basilicum) collected from different Egyptian export centers as being ready for export. The found values for humidity in dry seeds of cumin (7.4%) and coriander (6.4%), as well as total ash and ash insoluble in acid (in cumin 7.7% and 0.74%, but in coriander 5.3% and 0.55%, respectively), were lower than the maximum limits indicated by the Egyptian Specification Standards (ES) and by International Standards Organization (ISO) for cumin and coriander seeds. Analysis of essential minerals in seed spices and herbs indicated that they were rich in K, Ca, Na, Fe and Zn. The total bacterial count was low content in seeds of cumin and coriander as well as fresh whole basil herb. The microbiological load in all tested seed spices and herbs was found lower than those indicated by the ES and ISO for cumin and coriander seeds. Yields in hydro-distilled essential oils (EOs) were the highest in cumin seeds (3.762%), while both coriander and basil herbs had lower amounts (0.285% and 0.686%, respectively). EOs contents were found higher than the maximum limits for cumin (1.5% - 2.5% on a dry weight basis), but within the limits for coriander (0.1% - 0.5% on a dry weight basis) as indicated by the ES and ISO for cumin and coriander seed oils. Gas chromatography of extracted EOs from seeds of cumin and coriander as well as basil herbs indicated the presence of 41, 35 and 47 compounds, respectively, where cumin aldehyde was the major component in cumin volatiles but was linalool in volatiles of both coriander seeds and basil herbs. EOs of basil herbs grown in Egypt were of the high linalool chemotype which was characterized by high contents of linalool and relatively lower amounts of eugenol. However, the major compounds in the three tested EOs from seeds or herbs grown in Egypt are in accordance with literature reports from different parts of the world. Volatile oil components in EOs of the three tested Egyptian spices and herbs were classified into groups, based on the relative area (%). The proportion of the major and the other main components in EOs from seeds of cumin and coriander cultivars were within the ranges indicated by both the ES and ISO for cumin seed oils (cumin aldehyde between 15% - 46%) and for coriander seed oils (linalool between 65% - 78%). The aim of the present work was to Assessment study certain commonly used Egyptian spices and herbal products for characterizing their physical, biochemical and microbiological properties.

Return, risk, Sharpe ratio, and Treynor ratio are compared between the period before and during the pandemic. The calculation of excess return to beta results obtains three stocks that make up the optimal portfolio (2016 to 2021), namely ANTM, BBCA, and INCO, with sequential proportions of 89.87%, 1.96%, and 8.17%. The different paired sample t-test results show differences in risk and Sharpe ratio performance in the portfolio before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The risk is higher during than before the pandemic, with a higher Sharpe ratio value before the pandemic, even though both are negative. Meanwhile, the paired sample t-test comparison results for returns and Treynor ratio show no difference in portfolio performance before and during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Authors: Widjaja Fitri Novika , Kevin  , Megawati Veny
Published: February 2023

Surabaya is a densely populated city because it is a business and industrial center with an increasing demand for transportation. Currently, the use of private vehicles is more than public transportation. However, Surabaya has a City Bus service is known as the Suroboyo Bus, an environmentally friendly payment concept by exchanging used plastic bottles. To assess behavioral intentions of using public transportation, this study used an integrative model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), service satisfaction, and environmental concern. A total of 150 completed questionnaires were collected from Surabaya residents who had used public transportation in the previous year for this study. The results of this study reveal that behavioral intentions in using the Suroboyo Bus are influenced by perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, and descriptive norms. Through perceived behavioral control and personal norms, environmental concerns indirectly influence behavioral intentions, bolstering the TPB model. This demonstrates the suitability of this TPB-based integrative model, while customer satisfaction is also a key factor in switching from a private vehicle to a public bus system, particularly with the Suroboyo Bus’s unique environmentally friendly payment system. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed, as well as research ideas for the future.

Published: February 2023

This study aims to analyze the effect of loan information (i.e., number of lenders, loan amount, and loan maturity) and borrower characteristics (i.e., public, firm size, leverage, and profitability), as well as control variables such as country and year on syndicated loan, spread in public companies and private companies in Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam during the 2008–2018 period by calculating the All In Spread Drawn (AISD) of the syndicated loans over LIBOR. This study applied a quantitative approach through the ordinary least squares method on a sample of 389 observations. A total of 118 observations came from public companies, and 271 observations came from private companies. This study shows that syndicated loans given to private companies are more expensive than public companies. However, this can be minimized by increasing the loan exposure for private firms through a larger number of lenders. It can also be seen that public companies with larger assets, higher returns on equity, and borrowing with shorter terms will be subject to lower interest rates. The spreads for syndicated loans are the most expensive in Indonesia, followed by Vietnam and Thailand.

Published: February 2023

Poverty is a problem in many countries worldwide. Poverty can be in the form of poor wealth or mental poverty. This study aims to explain changing the poor paradigm to the rich through the NU Coin movement carried out by the amil zakat and infaq institutions of Nahdlatul Ulama. Community movement phenomenon that collects coins or money worth IDR 500 to IDR 1,000 and even more can be followed by a massive community at all levels. A very small value of money becomes unique, and if it is collected many times, it will become a very large financial strength. Massive community involvement in the coin movement can have an impact on changing the behavior of the community itself. A qualitative research approach with phenomenological methods was used in this study. The implementation of coin fundraising conducted by the Nahdlatul Ulama organization in Tulungagung Regency has become a case to be studied, which impacts changing the behavior of people who have a poor paradigm. The NU Coin movement can shift from a poor paradigm to a rich paradigm. The impact of this research reveals that poverty is a paradigm that can be changed so that groups of people who used to feel poor then turn into prosperous because they can give something even though it is small. This paradigm change can be used as social capital to solve various social problems.

Secondly, it provides evidence of ethical relativism. Based on McNemar’s test, it is proven that there is different ethical judgment in the candidate’s perspective and the perspective of the business owner HRD. 49% of the respondents change their ethical judgment when they are in a different position.
