Over the past four decades, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) safety and efficacy have significantly improved, particularly with the advent of the drug-eluting stent (DES). First-generation DESs reduced in-stent restenosis rates and targeted lesion revascularization; however, safety issues emerged, due to high incidences of stent thrombosis (ST) linked to death, myocardial infarction, and repeat revascularization. Second-generation DESs were developed to overcome these issues, reducing late-thrombotic-event risk while maintaining anti-restenosis efficacy. Nevertheless, ST still occurs with second-generation DES use. Stent thrombosis etiology is multifaceted, encompassing lesion-, patient-, procedural-, and stent-related factors. Overall, most early-stent-thrombosis cases are linked to procedural and patient-related aspects. Factors like premature discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy, resistance to clopidogrel, smoking, diabetes mellitus, malignancy, reduced ejection fraction or undertaking coronary angioplasty for an acute coronary syndrome can increase the risk of stent thrombosis. The aim of this study is to assess patient-related factors that potentially heighten the risk of stent thrombosis, with the objective of pinpointing and addressing modifiable contributors to this risk. By focusing on both patient- and procedure-related factors, a multifaceted approach to coronary revascularization can help minimize complications and maximize long-term benefits in managing ST.

Background: To provide a comprehensive analysis of the current literature comparing the outcomes of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis (BAS), with particular attention to BAV morphology in patients undergoing TAVR. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, all relevant articles with no design restrictions from PubMed, CCTR (Cochrane Controlled Trials Register), and Google Scholar were screened for inclusion. Studies were included if they reported clinical endpoints for SAVR and TAVR or, in BAS treated with TAVR, for type 1 and non-type 1 morphology. Odds ratio and Cohen’s D were considered as effect size measurements for qualitative and quantitative variables, respectively. Results: A total of eight studies comparing short-term outcomes between SAVR and TAVR and nine studies with outcomes data between type 1 and non-type 1 BAS treated with TAVR were considered for the final analysis. No statistically significant difference was found for what concerns the rates of death, stroke, and acute kidney injury between SAVR and TAVR. In comparison to patients undergoing SAVR, the incidence of PPI (permanent pacemaker implantation) was greater in the TAVR group (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.15–0.79, p = 0.01), and the frequency of bleeding events was found to be higher among patients undergoing SAVR (OR 4.3, 95% CI 2.9–6.4, p < 0.001). The probabilities of 30-day mortality, stroke, and any bleeding were not significantly affected by bicuspid valve morphology in TAVR patients. PPI or development of new conduction anomalies was found to be more frequent in type 1 anatomies (OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.30–0.70, p <0.001). Mildly lower post-procedural transprothesic gradients were found in patients with type 1 morphology. Conclusions: In BAS patients, TAVR has comparable short-term outcomes rates with SAVR, but higher PPI rates and lower incidence of bleeding events. In patients undergoing TAVR, type 1 BAS is associated with lower postoperative transvalvular gradients but higher PPI rates and conduction abnormalities
Emission Control Routes in Liner Shipping between Korea and Japan
Authors: Hwang Je Ho , Kang Dal Won
Published: November 2023

Maritime shipping is considered a major air pollutant that directly affects global warming and climate change. This study aims to design an emission control route (ECR) that can contribute to long-term initiatives along with emission prevention policies. Applying a scenario analysis, this paper has analyzed the impact of ECR implementation on air quality in the shipping route between Korea and Japan. In this study, the ECR is defined as eco-friendly shipping routes that recommend maintaining a specific level of speed while sailing. Based on the navigation trajectories of 55 O/Ds, which were extracted by the automatic identification system (AIS) data of 135 container ships for each port call during one year, the ECR domains were designated. To analyze the introduction impacts, this study employed a scenario analysis based on the current Vessel Speed Reduction Program (VSRP) recommendation of 12 knots or less. The results demonstrated that the introduction of ECR in the liner services between Korea and Japan would increase the average travel time by 10.47–16.98%. However, according to the results of the scenario analysis, the introduction of the ECR can reduce emissions by 25.65% to 39.73%. By suggesting the initial concept of ECR and analyzing the emission reduction effects of its implementation, this study provides useful insights for a balance between economic and environmental performance.
The Covenant School Shooting: Media Coverage and Backlash against the Transgender Community
Authors: Ball Daisy , Suleyman James
Published: November 2023

On 27 March 2023, Aiden Hale broke into the Covenant School, a private Christian academy in Nashville, TN, and killed three students and three staff members. Hale, a former student at the school, was transgender. Although assigned female at birth, Hale identified as male, asked to be called by a male name, and used he/him pronouns. In the aftermath of the shooting, a newfound wave of anti-trans rhetoric soared, once again putting members of the transgender community in harm’s way. In this article, we review the details of the Covenant School shooting and consider them in the context of the anti-trans movement in the United States, a movement that has escalated as transgender people have become more visible and more vocal in society. We then present findings from an extensive content analysis of newspaper coverage in the two weeks following the shooting (27 March–10 April). In so doing, we add to the literature on K-12 school shootings and gender studies, specifically stigma towards the transgender community.

Published: November 2023

Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) is a non-invasive optical imaging technique based on a combination of the principles of optical coherence tomography and reflectance confocal microscopy with line-field illumination, which can generate cell-resolved images of the skin in vivo. This article reports on the LC-OCT technique and its application in dermatology. The principle of the technique is described, and the latest technological innovations are presented. The technology has been miniaturized to fit within an ergonomic handheld probe, allowing for the easy access of any skin area on the body. The performance of the LC-OCT device in terms of resolution, field of view, and acquisition speed is reported. The use of LC-OCT in dermatology for the non-invasive detection, characterization, and therapeutic follow-up of various skin pathologies is discussed. Benign and malignant melanocytic lesions, non-melanocytic skin tumors, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and actinic keratosis, and inflammatory and infectious skin conditions are considered. Dedicated deep learning algorithms have been developed for assisting in the analysis of LC-OCT images of skin lesions.

Mango and its by-products have traditional medicinal uses. They contain diverse bioactive compounds offering numerous health benefits, including cardioprotective and metabolic properties. This study aimed to explore the impact of mango fruit and its by-products on human health, emphasizing its metabolic syndrome components. PUBMED, EMBASE, COCHRANE, and GOOGLE SCHOLAR were searched following PRISMA guidelines, and the COCHRANE handbook was utilized to assess bias risks. In vivo and in vitro studies have shown several benefits of mango and its by-products. For this systematic review, 13 studies met the inclusion criteria. The collective findings indicated that the utilization of mango in various forms—ranging from fresh mango slices and mango puree to mango by-products, mango leaf extract, fruit powder, and mangiferin—yielded many favorable effects. These encompassed enhancements in glycemic control and improvements in plasma lipid profiles. Additionally, mango reduces food intake, elevates mood scores, augments physical performance during exercise, improves endothelial function, and decreases the incidence of respiratory tract infections. Utilizing mango by-products supports the demand for healthier products. This approach also aids in environmental conservation. Furthermore, the development of mango-derived nanomedicines aligns with sustainable goals and offers innovative solutions for healthcare challenges whilst being environmentally conscious.
Stress Induced Activation of LTR Retrotransposons in the Drosophila melanogaster Genome
Authors: Milyaeva Polina A. , Kukushkina Inna V. , Kim Alexander I. , Nefedova Lidia N.
Published: November 2023

Background: Retrotransposons with long terminal repeats (LTR retrotransposons) are widespread in all groups of eukaryotes and are often both the cause of new mutations and the source of new sequences. Apart from their high activity in generative and differentiation-stage tissues, LTR retrotransposons also become more active in response to different stressors. The precise causes of LTR retrotransposons’ activation in response to stress, however, have not yet been thoroughly investigated. Methods: We used RT-PCR to investigate the transcriptional profile of LTR retrotransposons and piRNA clusters in response to oxidative and chronic heat stresses. We used Oxford Nanopore sequencing to investigate the genomic environment of new insertions of the retrotransposons. We used bioinformatics methods to find the stress-induced transcription factor binding sites in LTR retrotransposons. Results: We studied the transposition activity and transcription level of LTR retrotransposons in response to oxidative and chronic heat stress and assessed the contribution of various factors that can affect the increase in their expression under stress conditions: the state of the piRNA-interference system, the influence of the genomic environment on individual copies, and the presence of the stress-induced transcription factor binding sites in retrotransposon sequences. Conclusions: The main reason for the activation of LTR retrotransposons under stress conditions is the presence of transcription factor binding sites in their regulatory sequences, which are triggered in response to stress and are necessary for tissue regeneration processes. Stress-induced transposable element activation can function as a trigger mechanism, triggering multiple signal pathways and resulting in a polyvariant cell response.
Floristic–Vegetational Features of Geranium argenteum, an Alpine–Apennine Species at Its Limit of Distribution in the Apennines
Authors: Ballelli Sandro , Tesei Giulio , Pennesi Riccardo , Allegrezza Marina
Published: November 2023

We present a floristic–vegetational study on a plant community dominated by Geranium argenteum in the Sibillini Mountains (Central Apennines), at the southern limit of its distribution in the Apennines. It is a rare pioneer community located at an elevation of about 2100 m a.s.l. with northern exposure on the fractured rocky ridges and at the edges of the rocky detrital valleys on lithosol, with a prolonged presence of snowpack and gelifraction processes. The results of the phytosociological analysis allow us to propose the new Festuco italicae-Geranietum argentei association referred to as the Leontopodio nivalis-Elynion myosuroidis alliance (Carici rupestris-Kobresietea bellardii class). The comparison with the Alpine and the Northern Apennines phytocoenoses characterized by Geranium argenteum allows us to provide a new interpretation of the syntaxonomical framework concerning the Geranium argenteum communities within its Alpine–Apennine range in light of the new data presented in this paper. The new Festuco italicae-Geranietum argentei association represents a further contribution to the knowledge of the relict alpine vegetation of the Leontopodio nivalis-Elynion myosuroidis alliance in the Sibillini Mountains and thus in the Central Apennines. Finally, habitat monitoring will be essential for assessing the impacts of climate change on this fragile and narrowly restricted plant community.
A Novel Composite Voltammetric Sensor Based on Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Doped with Neodymium-Carbon Black-Nafion Glassy Carbon Electrode for Metoprolol Determination
Authors: Suchanek Małgorzata , Paczosa-Bator Beata , Piech Robert
Published: November 2023

For the first time, a new composite voltammetric sensor based on yttria-stabilized zirconia doped with neodymium-carbon black-Nafion glassy carbon electrode (YSZNd-CB-Nafion/GCE) for the determination of metoprolol (MET) has been developed. The instrumental parameters and supporting electrolyte were optimized. For 105 s accumulation time, linearity was achieved in the range of 0.01 to 0.2 µM. The limit of detection (for 105 s accumulation time) was equal to 2.9 nM (2 µg/L), and was the best result in comparison to other voltametric sensors. The reproducibility of the metoprolol signal presented as relative standard deviation (RSD) was equal to 1.9% (n = 7). Additionally, our electrode is characterized by high stability, is easy to use, and has a short preparation time. The proposed sensor was found useful for MET determination in plasma and urine, as well as for pharmaceutical samples, with a good recovery parameter (96–108%). Flow injection analysis (FIA) with amperometric detection was also performed for MET determination. The recovery was calculated and was in the range 101–103%, suggesting that the proposed material may be applied in flow injection analysis.

In this study, geopolymers based on mechanically activated mixtures of fly ash (FA) with SrCO3 (strontianite) and BaCO3 (witherite) were synthesized. NaOH solution was used as an alkaline agent and curing was carried out under ambient conditions. XRD, FTIR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and SEM were used to study the geopolymerization process and microstructure. The product of geopolymerization of the milled (FA + SrCO3) and (FA + BaCO3) blends was X-ray amorphous N-A-S-H gel. The beneficial impact of mechanical activation on the compressive strength of geopolymers was most evident during the initial stages of the curing process. The strength of geopolymers based on the (FA + carbonate) blends after 7 d was either less than the corresponding strength of geopolymers based on the 100% FA or, within the measurement accuracy, equal to it. With increasing curing time, the strength development of geopolymers synthesized from (70% FA + 30% carbonate) blends exceeded the strength growth of geopolymers containing less carbonates; after curing for 180 d, these geopolymers showed the highest compressive strength (20–27 MPa). This trend was more pronounced for the geopolymers based on the (FA + SrCO3) blends. The influence of SrCO3 and BaCO3 addition to the FA on the strength of composite geopolymers was explained by dilution and microfiller effects. The geopolymers based on the FA blended with SrCO3 and BaCO3 exhibit potential applications in immobilizing radioactive strontium and producing radiation shielding materials.

Published: November 2023

Background. Human and wild rodent infection rates with Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis are needed to differentiate transmission pathways in anthropogenically altered habitats. Methods. Human participants in northeast Brazil were tested by the leishmanin skin test (LST) and inspected for lesions/scars characteristic of American clinical leishmaniasis (ACL). Molecular (PCR/qPCR) test records of free-ranging rodents were available from a concurrent capture–mark–recapture study. Force of Infection (λ) and recovery (ρ) rates were estimated from cross-sectional and longitudinal datasets. Results. Cumulative prevalences of human LST+ves and ACL scar+ves were 0.343–0.563 (n = 503 participants) and 0.122–0.475 (n = 503), respectively. Active ACL lesions were not detected. Annual rates of LST conversions were λ = 0.03–0.15 and ρ = 0.02–0.07. The probability of infection was independent of sex and associated with increasing age in addition to the period of exposure. Rodents (n = 596 individuals of 6 species) showed high rates of exclusively asymptomatic infection (λ = 0.222/month) and potential infectiousness to the sand fly vector. Spatially concurrent rodent and household human infection prevalences were correlated. Conclusions. Human exposure to L. (V.) braziliensis continues to be high despite the substantial drop in reported ACL cases in recent years. Spill-over transmission risk to humans from rodents in peridomestic habitats is likely supported by a rodent infection/transmission corridor linking houses, plantations, and the Atlantic Forest.

Anthropogenic electromagnetic radiation is an important environmental factor affecting the functionality of biological systems. Sensitivity to various frequencies of electromagnetic radiation has been detected in ixodid ticks in the past. However, the physiological aspects of radiation effects have not yet been studied in ticks. In the presented experiment, 360 Ixodes ricinus ticks, 180 males and 180 females, were divided into 16 irradiated and 8 control groups. The irradiated groups were exposed to two different intensities of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 900 MHz at different lengths of exposure time. RT-PCR was utilized to determine the changes in mRNA levels in tick synganglia after irradiation. Four randomly selected neuropeptide genes were tested—allatotropin (at), FGLa-related allatostatins (fgla/ast), kinin, and arginine-vasopressin-like peptide (avpl). A significant decrease in transcript levels in all female groups exposed to higher intensity radiofrequency radiation for 1 to 3 h was found. After one hour of radiofrequency exposure, a significant downregulation in allatotropin expression in males was detected. A consistent downregulation of the at gene was detected in males irradiated with at a higher intensity. Unfortunately, the specific functions of the studied neuropeptides in ticks are not known yet, so a more comprehensive study is necessary to describe the effects of EMF on observed neuropeptides. This study represents the first report on the effects of the abiotic environment on tick neurophysiology.
Graph-Based Generalization of Galam Model: Convergence Time and Influential Nodes
Authors: Li Sining , Zehmakan Ahad N.
Published: November 2023

We study a graph-based generalization of the Galam opinion formation model. Consider a simple connected graph which represents a social network. Each node in the graph is colored either blue or white, which indicates a positive or negative opinion on a new product or a topic. In each discrete-time round, all nodes are assigned randomly to groups of different sizes, where the node(s) in each group form a clique in the underlying graph. All the nodes simultaneously update their color to the majority color in their group. If there is a tie, each node in the group chooses one of the two colors uniformly at random. Investigating the convergence time of the model, our experiments show that the convergence time is a logarithm function of the number of nodes for a complete graph and a quadratic function for a cycle graph. We also study the various strategies for selecting a set of seed nodes to maximize the final cascade of one of the two colors, motivated by viral marketing. We consider the algorithms where the seed nodes are selected based on the graph structure (nodes’ centrality measures such as degree, betweenness, and closeness) and the individual’s characteristics (activeness and stubbornness). We provide a comparison of such strategies by conducting experiments on different real-world and synthetic networks.
Strategies to Improve Physiological and Psychological Components of Resiliency in Firefighters
Authors: Holland-Winkler A. Maleah , Hamil Blake K. , Greene Daniel R. , Kohler Austin A.
Published: November 2023

Firefighters are exposed to dangerous and often traumatic events due to the nature of their occupational demands. This repeated exposure to trauma combined with stressful work demands increases their risk for negative physiological and psychological health outcomes. The high prevalence of adverse health outcomes highlights the need for interventions to improve resiliency in firefighters. Resiliency is the ability to reduce the effect of crisis, rebound from adversity, and recover to pre-stimulus homeostasis. When traumatic exposures are unavoidable, as is the case with firefighters, it is important to buffer the resulting consequences on health. While resilience has a genetic component, interventions targeting physiological, psychological, and social components have been successful at improving resilience. These factors are of specific interest as increases in resilience have been linked to improved PTSD symptomology/severity, depression, anxiety, autonomic nervous system activation, hypothalamus–pituitary axis balance, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to identify physiological and psychological components associated with resiliency and discuss strategies that may improve those components to ultimately increase resiliency in firefighters. The strategies discussed include exercise, social support, and mindfulness.
Is It a Crime? Cyberstalking Victims’ Reasons for Not Reporting to Law Enforcement
Authors: Fissel Erica R.
Published: November 2023

Using a sample of 376 young adults (18- to 25-year-olds) who had been cyberstalked in the previous 12 months, the current study attempts to (1) understand the self-identified reasons behind cyberstalking victims’ choice to not report their experiences to law enforcement and (2) determine if there are gender or racial differences associated with the reasons for not reporting. Findings revealed that approximately 86% of cyberstalking victims did not personally report their victimization to law enforcement. The most common reasons for not reporting included not knowing their experience was criminal in nature (53.99%), dealing with it another way (42.82%), and thinking the police would not do anything for them (32.98%) or would not be helpful (31.91%). Analyses also revealed that there were gender-specific differences in one of the reasons for not reporting. Women and another gender identity selected “Thought the police would not do anything” significantly more than men. Implications for these findings are provided.
Some Remarks on Hume, Reichenbach, and Einstein’s views on Temporal and Causal Priority in Causation with Objections from Quantum Realm
Authors: DURAL ÖZER Özge
Published: November 2023

Stunning new observations and theories deepen the concept of causation. Quantum theory is one of the most striking discovery of contemporary physics, and it challenges many facets of older theories, even though it lies on many assumptions that could not be empirically experimented. In this paper, I will recall the views of Hume, Reichenbach and Einstein about the issue of causation, whereas I will focus on causal priority and temporal priority criteria in causation. Nevertheless, one task that I perform is the interpretation of these ideas by arguing them within the quantum scope. That is, trying to manifest Hume, Reichenbach and Einstein views of causation that I think as close, but I shall avoid putting straight cuts on where they differ. Direction of causal processes is dependent on the direction of time in Hume’s sense while Reichenbach explained the direction of time with irreversible processes, even if he follows the temporal priority criteria of Hume. It is stated that there is nothing faster than light by Einstein, as a result, a cause could not pass the upper limit of light. Crudely put, their thoughts all differ from the principles of quantum, because causation (causation might denote a different meaning in quantum realm) may be able to travel faster than light and the common cause principle between events is rejected in quantum realm.

Children tend to eat unhealthy foods or snacks in the school environment. This is caused by factors such as a lack of knowledge about healthy food and minimal access to healthy food choices in the school environment. This research aimed to analyze the influence of gender and knowledge on elementary school children's snacking behavior. This research was conducted in February-September 2023. This research is quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The population is students in grades 4-6 in all state elementary schools in Bukit Bestari District, Tanjungpinang City. The sample was determined using simple random sampling by drawing lots from 10 schools and classes in all research locations. 30 students from grades 4-6 were selected from each school to obtain 300 students as samples. Analysis was carried out using the Chi-Square test with a confidence level of 95%. The results of this study show that there is no influence between gender and the snack food eating behavior of school children (p=0.284), and there is an influence between the level of knowledge and the snack food eating behavior of school children (p=0.002). This research concluded that there is no influence between gender and there is an influence between the level of knowledge and the behavior of eating snacks among school children. Students with less knowledge are at risk of having poor behavior in consuming PJAS 3,863 times. Increasing knowledge by providing counseling and practicing bringing snacks prepared from home needs to be done.

Mumbai is the financial capital of the country and home to important financial institutions and Multinational companies. The City has a rich cosmopolitan culture. it is also the capital of entertainment industry and city of dreams. These are enough reasons for the growth of organized retail and real estate development here. It is the capital of Maharashtra & the commercial capital of India & is one of the most populous cities of the world. It has a per capita income of more than 2 lakh which is over three times the rest of India. It homes a large middle class, upper middle class, and the rich class of the country. Retail sector is one of the booming sectors of the city in last 20 years a lot of Mall have come up and the people of Mumbai are adapting to the mall culture. Mall is usually a large, enclosed area, a mercantile establishment consisting of a carefully landscaped complex of shops representing leading merchandisers; usually includes restaurants and a convenient parking area. The word shopping mall is made up of two words: shopping and mall. Shopping can be defined as the activity that involves the exchange of goods and services for money. According to Kuria (1975). Lousberg (2009) defines shopping malls as “premises selling general merchandise or fashion related goods. They are enclosed inward facing stores, connected by a common walkway. Parking surrounds the outside perimeters.” A shopping mall can therefore be defined as a complex that encompasses several retail stores, restaurants and other businesses with a common interest in soliciting sales. The complex is put up and managed as a single unit. Shopping malls offer private, off-street parking facilities

Políticas públicas como escenarios de tensión entre tecnicismos y participación política indígena. Debates por los requisitos y tiempos estatales para definir la Propiedad Comunitaria Indígena en la Argentina (2015)
Authors: Manzanelli Macarena Del Pilar
Published: November 2023

Este artículo analiza la elaboración de políticas públicas participativas indigenistas mediante dos variables: los lenguajes y requisitos estatales -registros escritos y de temporalidad- con efectos de tecnicismo y neutralidad; y las praxis políticas y manejo de recursos de actores como son pueblos originarios. Presento un trabajo etnográfico de los debates del anteproyecto de ley de Propiedad Comunitaria Indígena nacional entre un colectivo de pueblos originarios y funcionarios del Instituto Nacional de Asuntos Indígenas en 2015. Identifiqué tres situaciones: intercambios por los requisitos estatales para definir la PCI; gestión de los tiempos de referentes de pueblos originarios, interpelando a los institucionales; y las alianzas tejidas por éstos para alcanzar su estado parlamentario. Concluyo que las políticas públicas constituyen entramados de poder, racionalidades y acciones sociales polisémicas con tensiones entre los canales estatales institucionalizados y las prácticas de distintos actores. Allí se disputan legitimaciones en el plano discursivo-simbólico, mediante tecnicismos estatales que restringen la agencia originaria, y en las negociaciones entre pueblos originarios y actores estatales-políticos. Dichas praxis visibilizan una agencia indígena no esencializada con condiciones: sus tiempos, distintos a los burocráticos-estatales, la consulta, su capacidad política de maniobra y posicionamientos ante debates políticos amplios como la definición de modelos de país.

Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mendukung koperasi, khususnya bagi koperasi Se Kota Bengkulu. Saat ini masih banyak mitra koperasi yang belum memahami pengelolaan keuangan usahanya, keuangan usaha tercampur dengan keuangan rumah tangga. Ketika kita memutuskan untuk menjalankan usaha, kita harus siap untuk bersikap professional terutama dalam hal pengaturan keuangan. Beberapa hal juga akan menjadi terhambat jika para pelaku usaha mencampur adukan keuangan usaha dengan keuangan pribadi diantaranya yaitu akan sulit mengambil keputusan dalam usaha, perhitungan pajak yang akan menjadi rumit, sulitnya mengukur kinerja usaha yang sedang dijalani dan tidak menutup kemungkinan akan terjadi kebangkrutan dalam usaha. Selain pengelolaan keuangan yang masih tercampur masalah lain yang dihadapi mitra koperasi adalah tidak atau belum mengetahuinya bahwa pentingnya dalam membuat laporan keuangan atau pembukuan akuntansi, hanya sebagian mitra koperasi saja yang sudah membuat laporan keuangan namun belum mengikuti standar dalam penyusunan laporan keuangan. Laporan keuangan menjadi salah satu komponen mutlak yang harus dimiliki oleh koperasi yang merupakan syarat untuk mengembangkan bisnis dengan mengajukan modal ke bank sebagai kreditor. Pentingnya mengedepankan, menumbuhkan kebiasaan mencatat dan mengatur laporan keuangan untuk koperasi sesuai dengan standar akuntansi tetapi masih menggunakan format yang praktis, yaitu dengan menggunakan catatan yang terkomputerisasi. Ada beberapa hal yang menjadi penghambat bagi para mitra koperasi dalam mengelola keuangan dan menyusun laporan keuangannya yaitu, rendahnya tingkat pendidikan, kurangnya pemahaman mengenai tata kelola keuangan dalam menyusun laporan keuangan, dan masih kurangnya pelatihan dalam pengelolaan keuangan dan penyusunan laporan keuangan. Hal ini juga dialami oleh pelaku koperasi Se Kota Bengkulu. Berdasarkan permasalahan ini maka dipandang sangat perlu dilakukan kegiatan pengabdian kepada Masyarakat berbentuk kemitraan. Solusi permasalahan akan ditawarkan dengan mitra yaitu (1) Metode ceramah, dengan memberikan penyuluhan tentang pentingnya pengelolaan keuangan; (2) Metode pelatihan, dengan memberikan penyuluhan tentang tata cara penyusunan laporan keuangan sederhana bagi koperasi;  (3) Metode pendampingan, dengan cara menyiapkan aplikasi sederhana dengan pendekatan Aplikasi Excel For Accounting (EFA) dan mendampingi para mitra koperasi dalam menyusun laporan keuangan.
