La Chine et l’Inde face à l’Afrique
Authors: Dika Elokan Pierre-Paul
Published: December 2022

Le continent africain constitue depuis près de deux décennies un partenaire de choix pour la Chine et l’Inde. En effet, l’impulsion politique donnée par ces deux géants asiatiques par des rencontres au sommet avec l’Afrique s’est traduite par un fort développement des relations économiques et commerciales, la Chine devançant l’Inde dans ce domaine. Si l’offensive chinoise, plus forte et plus ancienne, est portée par l’État chinois, l’offensive indienne est portée quant à elle par les entreprises qui sont en première ligne. Les deux pays ont amorcé avec l’Afrique un partenariat gagnant-gagnant basé sur les avantages mutuels réciproques et une transformation structurelle du continent et entendent se démarquer des Occidentaux.
La crise russo-ukrainienne : guerre hybride ou nouvelle guerre froide ?
Authors: Dumoulin André
Published: December 2022

Les mesures de réassurance de l’Otan et la stratégie hybride russe sur fond de protection de son glacis ne peuvent être un calque de la guerre froide. Le contexte géopolitique et géo-économique n’est plus le même, ni même l’ampleur des gesticulations militaires. Il s’agit de trouver un compromis qui ne soit ni l’adoption occidentale d’une stratégie d’isolement et de confrontation avec la Russie ni l’acceptation sans sourciller à la stratégie russe vis-à-vis de l’étranger proche. Le curseur doit encore être trouvé, là où souvent la guerre des mots et des communiqués biaise l’analyse et la recherche d’une paix durable pour tout le continent : la Russie est encore un pays européen et il se pourrait que la stratégie russe soit celle de s’ancrer aussi dans la sphère commerciale et économique européenne. Au final, la responsabilité est aux politiques et à la diplomatie pour faire de l’Ukraine «neutre» un pont et non un mur.
La fin des armes nucléaires ou la nôtre ?
Authors: Denis Arielle
Published: December 2022

Les armes nucléaires font leur grand retour dans la diplomatie chaotique de cette nouvelle ère. Alors qu’un traité les rendant illégales est sur le point d’entrer en vigueur, la détermination des 9 puissances nucléaires à ignorer les recommandations internationales plonge le monde dans l’inquiétude d’une nouvelle course aux armements, alimentée par la destruction systématique de l’architecture du contrôle des armements par l’administration Trump. Une course contre la montre est engagée, dans laquelle les citoyens devront à nouveau, comme pendant la crise des euromissiles, jouer un rôle de premier plan.
Crise du capitalisme globalisé et mutation du paysage militaire
Authors: Le Pollotec Yann
Published: December 2022

Le capitalisme globalisé est entré dans une phase aiguë de crise, avec pour corolaire la crise de l’hégémonie militaire des États-Unis, de l’Otan , l’émergence de nouvelles puissances régionales ou mondiales et d’acteurs mondiaux non étatiques réticulaires comme les GAFA ou les organisations terroristes. La relance de la course aux armements nucléaires, la militarisation de l’espace, de nouvelles doctrines militaires comme le Networks Centric Warfare, la fuite en avant vers l’automatisation et la robotisation de la guerre et sa privatisation conduisent à dépolitiser la guerre et à la rendre sans fin. Dans un monde devenu plus ouvert, plus complexe, mais où de nouveaux dangers se conjuguent à de nouvelles solidarités, de nouveaux possibles, les questions de défense, de paix et de guerre et les choix politiques qu’elles impliquent ne peuvent plus être l’apanage d’une petite «élite» liée au capital, mais doivent être l’affaire du plus grand nombre.
Les relations entre l’ONU et l’UE Perspectives croisées
Authors: Szurek Sandra
Published: December 2022

Fondées sur les mêmes idéaux de paix et de développement, l’Organisation des Nations unies et l’Union européenne entretiennent des relations étroites qui font de l’Union européenne un partenaire de premier plan de l’organisation mondiale, que ce soit en raison de sa contribution financière ou de son implication dans les différents secteurs d’action de l’ONU. Ces relations sont à certains égards singulières par rapport aux relations qu’entretient l’ONU avec les autres organisations régionales, sur la base du chapitre VIII de la Charte des Nations unies. Outre que l’Union européenne ne se définit pas comme une organisation régionale, sa nature composite et les transferts de compétences des États membres à son profit l’ont conduite à demander – et obtenir –, en raison de la dimension normative supranationale de certaines de ses actions, un statut inédit d’observateur privilégié. Celui-ci n’est cependant pas sans poser des questions tant pour l’ONU que pour l’UE.
Europe de la défense : au-delà des mythes, comprendre ses origines, ses enjeux et son activité
Authors: Coskun Alexis
Published: December 2022

La chancelière Angela Merkel et le président de la République Emmanuel Macron ont remis sur le devant de l’agenda politique européen la création d’une armée européenne. Associée plus largement à l’édification d’une politique de sécurité et de défense commune, cette thématique connaît de nombreuses controverses et fait naître différentes idées relayées par les cercles universitaires, politiques ou stratégiques. Le propos de cette contribution est justement d’interroger les constructions intellectuelles et les différents arguments généralement avancés pour justifier ou encourager la politique commune de défense européenne telle qu’elle s’est construite. Elle tend ainsi à remettre en cause l’idée selon laquelle une Europe de la défense serait le prolongement de plusieurs siècles d’une idée européenne constante, mais souligne au contraire l’adaptabilité constante de ce projet aux ambitions stratégiques des États du continent et de son allié américain. Elle souligne également combien le processus en cours depuis les années. 1950 contribue plus à l’édification d’un bloc cohérent UE/ OTAN qu’à la construction d’une alternative européenne indépendante. Enfin, cet article interroge l’idée selon laquelle l’Europe de la défense serait appelée à jouer un rôle nécessairement plus pacificateur que celui des États-Unis sur la scène mondiale.
Le G5 Sahel et le concept de « sécurité-développement »
Authors: Antil Alain
Published: December 2022

Le G5 Sahel est créé en 2014 pour répondre à une dégradation de l’environnement sécuritaire. Cette organisation ad hoc repose sur deux paradigmes. D’abord, la réponse aux problèmes sécuritaires doit combiner les actions coercitives et les actions de développement censées répondre aux causes de ces violences ; le G5 s’insère en cela dans une approche de «sécurité-développement» . Ensuite, les pays du G5 portent un effort particulier sur les espaces périphériques ainsi que sur la gestion commune des frontières, arguant d’un déficit de présence de l’État dans certaines parties des territoires et de la nécessité d’une coopération renforcée entre États. Cependant, certaines des analyses qui ont présidé à la création du G5, largement partagées par la communauté internationale, apparaissent fragiles, voire erronées, en cela notamment qu’elles évitent méthodiquement de questionner la gouvernance des différents pays, produisant ainsi des diagnostics «dépolitisés», propres à fédérer les actions.
Le djihad armé d’Amadou Koufa (Mali central)
Authors: Bourgeot André
Published: December 2022

Les grandes lignes des prêches d’Amadou Koufa s’inscrivent dans un combat permanent entre la foi et la «mécréance» , entre la démocratie et le Coran pour lequel il faut instaurer une gouvernance divine en appliquant rigoureusement la chariya djihadiste. Pour atteindre cet objectif, le prédicateur a recours au djihad armé, dont les conditions de recrutement sont très diversifiées. Il est légitimé par d’acerbes et virulentes critiques à l’encontre de l’État importé, ses institutions dirigées par des «mécréants » et leurs complices députés, réunis au sein de l’Assemblée nationale. Les critiques sont adressées à l’encontre de l’islam sunnite, confrérique et à ses représentants les marabouts. Pour ce faire, la trame théologique s’appuie sur une rhétorique anachronique à caractère divin sociologiquement contextualisé à l’époque du prophète.

Énergie électrique et développement en Afrique
Authors: Dika Elokan Pierre-Paul
Published: December 2022

L’accès, la production et la consommation d’électricité ou d’énergie électrique constituent un défi croissant pour l’Afrique qui, bien que dotée d’un immense potentiel énergétique – énergie renouvelable notamment –, n’en utilise actuellement qu’une partie. Malgré ses richesses naturelles, l’Afrique au sud du Sahara n’est pas autonome en matière énergétique. Force est ainsi de constater que le défi énergétique de l’Afrique, c’est certes de produire, mais plus encore de transformer et de consommer. C’est pourquoi le défi de l’électrification générale du continent par la mise en avant des énergies renouvelables comme perspectives et les projets et les politiques publiques aux niveaux continental et régional de développement de ces énergies constituent la trame de notre étude.
Centrafrique : la Russie dans le pré carré français
Authors: Bissue Bi Nze Archange
Published: December 2022

Cet article vise à analyser la problématique du retour de la Russie en Afrique et les effets que cela occasionne dans le pré carré français, notamment en République centrafrique. La RCA est un pivot stratégique dans la projection géopolitique de la Russie en Afrique. Bien qu’il soit dans la sphère d’influence de la France, ce pays ne cesse d’être convoité par les puissances occidentales et eurasiatiques. S’il constitue un enjeu de basse et/ou de haute importance pour certains États, c’est un théâtre d’opération favorable pour d’autres.
Продолжительность существования и скорость образования видов и родов двустворчатых моллюсков в перми Северо-Востока Азии
Authors:   North-East Interdisciplinary Scientific Research Institute n. a. N. A. Shilo, FEB RAS, Magadan, Biakov A.S.
Published: December 2022

The article discussed the duration of existence and the rate of formation for Permian bivalve species and genera in Northeast Asia. It has been established that the species existed averagely for 2-5 million years; and the genera, for 10-20 million years. The vast majority of long-lived taxa characterize the Early Permian (Asselian-Middle Artinskian) assemblages. The proportion of long-lived species that existed for over 10 million years exceeds 25 % of all bivalve species existing on this stage. Since the end of the Artinskian (and even more so since the Kungurian), the number of relatively short-lived species increased significantly. The possible reason for this phenomenon might have been an increase in the frequency of manifestation of geobiospheric, mainly extinction (Biakov, 2012a), events, resulted from an increase in the Earth endogenous activity, and expressed in the manifestation of volcanic activity of various nature and the deep fluids impact on the biota. A long time interval, covering almost the entire Lower Permian and characterized by a relatively calm course of geological history, was replaced by an interval with sharp upheavals manifested, which also affected the development of the entire biota, including bivalves. The rate of taxa formation is also associated with geobiospheric events and is controlled primarily by extinction events.

The commercial fish resourses in West Sakhalin waters demonstrated significant growth in the 2010s. It has been confirmed by results of trawling and egg assessment surveys as well as by the dynamics of length-age characteristics of walleye pollack, Pacific cod, Pacific herring, Pacific capelin, and flat-fishes. The important factor of the present fish resourses growing appears the favorable warming of their environment in the course of long-term periodical climate-oceanology fluctuations.
Археологические исследования Г.А.Пытлякова в Оймяконском районе Якутии
Authors:   North-East Interdisciplinary Scientific Research Institute n. a. N. A. Shilo, FEB RAS, Magadan, Lebedintsev A.I.
Published: December 2022

The article presents results of archaeological survey conducted by G. A. Pytlyakov, the Lecturer of the Yakut State Pedagogical Institute, in the Oymyakonsky District of Yakutia in 1955. The works under discussion resulting in the discovery of materials related to the Yakut first-settlers in the territory: remains of balagan-type housing structures, traces of urasa-type temporary portable dwellings, ground burials, and petroglyphs. It has been noted that the economy and material culture of the Upper Indigirka Yakuts had a number of features determined by harsh natural conditions of the region. An opinion has been expressed that, in the past, the Oymyakon yakuts were not engaged in cattle breeding, as their settlements were located in the places neither convenient nor suitable for cattle breeding. It has been assumed that the Ingigirka basin may have a certain potential for searching other petroglyphs.

Nesse sentido, conclui-se a importância de alertar as mulheres e os profissionais de saúde sobre o diagnóstico diferencial da candidíase vulvovaginal (CVV).
Uso terapêutico do canabidiol nos transtornos de ansiedade e insônia
Authors: Rodrigues Bráulio Brandão , Alvarenga Lara Cristina Rocha , Aguiar Cárita
Published: December 2022

Introdução: A ansiedade é caracterizada como uma emoção da vivência humana, sendo uma reação natural e fundamental à autopreservação, mesmo gerando sensações de apreensão e alterações físicas desagradáveis. A insônia, por sua vez, se caracteriza como um distúrbio do sono comum que pode se apresentar isoladamente ou em conjunto a outras condições médicas ou psiquiátricas. Tendo em vista estas comorbidades, o canabidiol (CBD) é um composto químico não alucinogênico, derivado da planta Cannabis sativa, com um novo papel no controle da ansiedade e insônia. Assim, tendo em vista a alta a prevalência dos transtornos de ansiedade e insônia, e nos prejuízos que esses quadros podem gerar na vida dos indivíduos, fazem-se necessárias investigações sobre o tema para a condução de tratamentos adequados. Logo, este estudo tem como premissa, discorrer sobre o uso de canabidiol no tratamento de ansiedade e insônia. Métodos: Trata de uma revisão de literatura com a finalidade de reunir e sintetizar o conteúdo acerca do uso terapêutico do canabidiol nos transtornos de ansiedade e insônia. Foram consideradas produções científicas realizadas com grupos de seres humanos e estudos de literaturas publicadas entre 2010 e 2020. O levantamento bibliográfico foi realizado nas seguintes bases de dados: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE). Resultados: Foram selecionadas as publicações mais relevantes, restando apenas 32 artigos utilizados nesta revisão de literatura. Entre os artigos analisados, notou-se um grande número de publicações de países desenvolvidos e que já possuem há mais tempo a legalização do comércio e uso recreativo do canabidiol. Ressalta-se que boa parte dos estudos brasileiros são compostos de experiências regionais. Conclusão: O canabidiol é comumente considerado um auxílio para manejo da ansiedade e de distúrbios do sono, no entanto, não há estudos publicados até o momento avaliando seus efeitos sobre o sono em pessoas com transtorno de insônia crônica confirmado. Dado o crescente interesse do consumidor e a expansão da prescrição legal de CBD em todo o mundo, é importante compreender melhor como os medicamentos à base de canabidiol afetam a ansiedade e o sono, bem como a funcionalidade do paciente antes de se tornarem uma intervenção de rotina na prática clínica.

Published: December 2022

A busca pela cura dos animais equipara ao início do homem na terra, porém, a vigência da Medicina Veterinária existe a pouco mais de cinquenta anos, no qual algumas extensões de atuação ainda são pouco conhecidas. O campo abordado nesse artigo científico foi a Responsabilidade Técnica dentro das Lojas Agropecuárias, no qual atua com todo compromisso que lhe é dado através dos documentos. Esta revisão tem por objetivo destacar a importância do médico veterinário no comércio agropecuário, expondo seus direitos e deveres, apresentando suas atividades de competência e expondo os documentos para homologação do médico veterinário na empresa. A experiência foi desenvolvida com base em trabalhos científicos, sites como o Conselho Federal de Medicina Veterinária, Conselho Regionais de Medicina Veterinária, revistas e inúmeros decretos federais e estaduais e o Manual de Responsabilidade Técnica CRMV/RO. A Medicina Veterinária felizmente contém muitos estudos e pesquisa em áreas específicas, infelizmente exclui campos com alta importância para o desenvolvimento da sociedade e mercado agropecuário. Os médicos veterinários devem buscar novos campos de estudos com intuído de aperfeiçoamento pessoal e a valorização da classe. Entretanto, o artigo buscou destacar as atividades desenvolvidas pelo Médico Veterinário com a finalidade de abrandar ou até mesmo extinguir os processos éticos disciplinares, para isso foi separado mais de dez tópicos de delegação desse profissional.
Two-Beam Ultrafast Laser Scribing of Graphene Patterns with 90-nm Subdiffraction Feature Size
Authors: Chen Xi , Gu Min
Published: December 2022

The fabrication of high-resolution laser-scribed graphene devices is crucial to achieving large surface areas and thus performance breakthroughs. However, since the investigation mainly focuses on the laser-induced reduction of graphene oxide, the single-beam scribing provides a tremendous challenge to realizing subdiffraction features of graphene patterns. Here, we present an innovative 2-beam laser scribing pathway for the fabrication of subdiffraction graphene patterns. First, an oxidation reaction of highly reduced graphene oxide can be controllably driven by irradiation of a 532-nm femtosecond laser beam. Based on the oxidation mechanism, a 2-beam laser scribing was performed on graphene oxide thin films, in which a doughnut-shaped 375-nm beam reduces graphene oxide and a spherical 532-nm ultrafast beam induces the oxidation of laser-reduced graphene oxide. The spherical beam turns the highly reduced graphene oxide (reduced by the doughnut-shaped beam) to an oxidized state, splitting the laser-scribed graphene oxide line into 2 subdiffraction featured segments and thus forming a laser-scribed graphene/oxidized laser-scribed graphene/laser-scribed graphene line. Through the adjustment of the oxidation beam power, the minimum linewidth of laser-scribed graphene was measured to be 90 nm. Next, we fabricated patterned supercapacitor electrodes containing parallel laser-scribed graphene lines with subdiffraction widths and spacings. An outstanding gravimetric capacitance of 308 F/g, which is substantially higher than those of reported graphene-based supercapacitors, has been delivered. The results offer a broadly accessible strategy for the fabrication of high-performance graphene-based devices including high-capacity energy storage, high-resolution holograms, high-sensitivity sensors, triboelectric nanogenerators with high power densities, and artificial intelligence devices with high neuron densities.

Background and Study Aim: Hematological investigation plays a meaningful role in determining the physical standard and performance of the athletes in various games. It is a measure for an athlete’s health and physical gesture. The present study portrays the platelet count analysis of university-level female athletes playing volleyball, judo, and football respectively.
Material and Methods: 54 female athletes (18 from each game) were selected for the study. The platelet count relationship was the criterion for the present study to differentiate the physical standards of the female players among three different games. To obtain the statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA and posthoc Tukey’s HSD test were used to set the significance level of p < 0.05.
Results: We found the present results displayed the platelet counts of the players participating in Judo are comparatively higher as compared to football and volleyball.
Conclusions: It was observed that there was no correlation between platelet counts between the players participating in three games. No relationship exists between the players from different games concerning their platelet counts. No significant correlation between the three games existed pair-wise individually for comparative statistical analysis as their p > 0.05.
To What Extent Do Free Healthcare Policies and Performance-Based Financing Reduce Out-Of-Pocket Expenditures for Outpatient services? Evidence From a Quasi-Experimental Study in Burkina Faso
Authors: Aye Thit Thit , Nguyen Hoa Thi , Brenner Stephan , Robyn Paul Jacob , Tapsoba Ludovic Deo Gracias , Lohmann Julia , Allegri Manuela De
Published: December 2022

Background: Burkina Faso has been implementing financing reforms towards Universal Health Coverage since 2006. Recently, the country introduced a performance-based financing program (PBF) as well as user fee removal (gratuité) policy for health services aimed at pregnant and lactating women and children under five. We aim to assess the effect of gratuité and PBF policies on facility-based out-of-pocket expenditures (OOPE) for outpatient services. Methods: Our study is a controlled pre- and post-test design using healthcare facility data from the PBF program’s impact evaluation collected in 2014 and 2017. We compared OOPE related to primary healthcare use incurred by children under five and individuals above five to assess the effect of the gratuité policy on OOPE. We further compared OOPE incurred by individuals residing in PBF districts and non-PBF districts to estimate the effect of the PBF on OOPE. Effects were estimated using difference-in-differences (DID) models, distinguishing the estimation of the probability of incurring OOPE from the estimation of the magnitude of OOPE using a generalized linear model (GLM). Results: The proportion of children under five incurring OOPE declined significantly from 90% in 2014 to 3% in 2017. Concurrently, mean OOPE also decreased. Differences in both the probability of incurring OOPE and mean OOPE between PBF and non-PBF facilities were small. Our DID estimates indicated that gratuité produced an 84% (CI -86%, -81%) reduction in the probability of incurring OOPE and reduced total OOPE by 54% (CI 63%, 42%). We detected no significant effects of PBF, either in reducing the probability of incurring OOPE or in its magnitude. Conclusions: User fee removal is an effective demand-side intervention for enhancing financial accessibility. As a supply-side intervention, PBF appears to have limited effects on reducing financial burden.
Moral and Social Values in Evidence-Informed Deliberative Processes for Health Benefit Package Design; Comment on "Evidence-Informed Deliberative Processes for Health Benefit Package Design – Part II: A Practical Guide"
Authors: DiStefano Michael J.
Published: December 2022

An evidence-informed deliberative process (EDP) is defined as "a practical and stepwise approach for HTA bodies to enhance legitimate health benefit package design based on deliberation between stakeholders to identify, reflect and learn about the meaning and importance of values, informed by evidence on these values." In this commentary, I discuss some considerations for EDPs that arise from acknowledging the difference between social and moral values. First, the best practices for implementing EDPs may differ depending on whether the approach is grounded in moral versus social values. Second, the goals of deliberation may differ when focused on moral versus social values. I conclude by offering some considerations for future research to support the use of EDPs in practice, including the need to assess how different approaches to appraisal (e.g. more quantitative versus qualitative) impact perceptions of the value of deliberation itself.
A New Perspective on Emerging Knowledge Translation Practices; Comment on "Sustaining Knowledge Translation Practices: A Critical Interpretive Synthesis"
Authors: Kothari Anita , Cameron Jacqui
Published: December 2022

The Critical Interpretive Synthesis by Borst and colleagues offered a new perspective on knowledge translation (KT) sustainability from the perspective of Science Technology Studies. From our applied health services perspective, we found several interesting ideas to bring forward. First, the idea that KT sustainability includes the ongoing activation of networks led to several future research questions. Second, while not entirely a new concept, understanding how KT actors work strategically and continuously with institutional rules and regulations to sustain KT practice was noteworthy. We add to the discussion by emphasizing the importance of non-researcher voices (clinicians, administrators, policymakers, patients, carers, public) in sustaining KT practice. We also remind readers that the health ecosystem is dynamic and interdependent, where one system level influences and is influenced by another, and that these constant adaptations suggest that understanding KT practices cannot be a one-off event but represent repeated moments for transformative learning.
Pandemic’s Experience Questioning Capitalistic Dominance Comment on "Ensuring Global Health Equity in a Post-pandemic Economy"

Published: December 2022

Reflecting on the up-to-date global experience of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is of crucial importance in order to draw conclusions needed for the design of policies aiming the prevention of new epidemics and the effective protection, preparedness and response of any new emerging. Ongoing environmental destruction, excess mortality by COVID-19 and non-COVID diseases reflecting the dismantlement and commodification of both public health services and healthcare services, deep economic crisis, increasing and deepening social inequalities are the main characteristics raised by the pandemic. The causes of the causes of all these are the dominant rules of the capitalistic system, driven mainly by the unlimited greed for profit on the expenses of the majority of the society. The effectiveness of any proposed correction of this system is discussed and the need for another society responding to the needs of the population is argued.

Folk literature also called oral literature is about the culture of lay people and about the pride of Tamil Nadu. Earlier people worshipped nature as goddess. After civilization they began to live separately as families and worshipped the village deities Mariyamman and Kaliyamman to protect themselves. Then they began worshipping goddess with the hope that goddess will shower rain and so agriculture and other industries would prosper and people can live without disease. In order to thank deities, they celebrated festivals once in a year. They fulfill their wishes during the festivals. Psychologically the mind is happy during the festive seasons. The people of different races come together and celebrate the festival happily. Folk arts such as therukoothu, karakaatam, folk songs and so on are performed during the festivals. Thus, the life of the folk artists shines brightly because of festivals. Festivals and liturgies enrich our culture and its ethos emotionally.

Firm value is a perception of the condition of the company which is usually associated with stock prices, the higher the stock price, the higher the company value. This study aims to determine a) the effect of internet financial reporting as measured using the disclosure index; and b) earnings quality as measured by the proportion of operating cash flow to net income; on firm value as measured using Tobin's Q. And firm size is used as a control variable. The research population is the manufacturing sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2017-2020 period. Total population of 225 companies, and based on predetermined criteria 58 companies were selected as samples. Data analysis used multiple linear regression analysis and the type of data used was secondary taken from the company's annual report. The research findings are a) internet financial reporting (IFR) has no effect on firm value; b) earnings quality has no effect on firm value. Although various literatures acknowledge that IFR and earnings quality are part of important factors, these findings indicate that IFR and earnings quality are not able to explain their effect on firm value. Next, c) the control variable firm size (SIZE) has a positive effect on firm value. This finding contradicts the signal theory which states that good information regarding company performance, both financial and non-financial, can provide a positive signal to interested parties.

AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini untuk menilai beberapa faktor yang berpotensi dapat mengindikasikan kesulitan keuangan dan mengarah pada kebangkrutan. Penilaian dilihat dari kinerja keuangan pada setahun sebelum covid 19 dan setahun selama pandemi covid-19. Selain rasio keuangan, model Altman Z-Score digunakan untuk memprediksi kebangkrutan perusahaan. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang jasa marketing untuk suku cadang kapal. Kinerja keuangan perusahaan dinilai berdasarkan rasio keuangan. Nilai ROA dan ROE PT KMB berada dalam kondisi tidak baik karena sangat rendah dibandingkan dengan standar industri. Rasio likuiditas yang diproksikan dengan current ratio dan cash ratio memperlihatkan penurunan current ratio, yang berarti perusahaan mengalami masalah likuiditas untuk melunasi utang jangka pendek. Rasio solvabilitas yang diproksikan dengan DAR dan DER menunjukkan bahwa laba ditahan perusahaan semakin mengecil akibat kerugian, sehingga ekuitas perusahaan merosot tajam. Rasio aktivitas yang diproksikan assets turnover dan fixed assets turnover menunjukkan bahwa terdapat penurunan atas perputaran aset dan aset tetap yang juga memberikan sinyal bahwa aktivitas penjualan melemah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja keuangan perusahaan tidak dalam kondisi yang baik berdasarkan analisis rasio keuangan serta model Altman Z-Score.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess several factors that could potentially indicate financial difficulties and lead to bankruptcy. The assessment is seen from financial performance in the year before covid 19 and a year during the covid-19 pandemic. In addition to financial ratios, the Altman Z-Score model is used to predict company bankruptcy. This research was conducted on companies engaged in marketing services for ship spare parts. The company's financial performance is assessed based on financial ratios. PT KMB's ROA and ROE values ​​are not in good condition because they are very low compared to industry standards. The liquidity ratio proxied by the current ratio and cash ratio shows a decrease in the current ratio, which means the company is experiencing liquidity problems to pay off short-term debt. The solvency ratio proxied by DAR and DER shows that the company's retained earnings are getting smaller due to losses, so the company's equity has fallen sharply. The activity ratio proxied by assets turnover and fixed asset turnover shows that there is a decrease in asset and fixed asset turnover which also signals that sales activity is weakening. The results showed that the company's financial performance was not in good condition based on the analysis of financial ratios and the Altman Z-Score model.

Industri kecil menengah sedang berkembang pesat salah satunya adalah industri Air Minum Dalam Kemasan (AMDK). Maka dari itu begitu banyak penelitian yang terkait dengan pengisian air mineral secara otomatis baik dalam kemasan gelas 250 ml maupun 600 ml. Akan tetapi penelitian tersebut berfokus pada system pengisian air otomatis yang di kontrol dengan mikrokontroller atupun PLC sehingga mengabaikan sistem antrian wadah baik berupa gelas ataupun botol secara otomatis, dalam artian penelitian tersebut sistem antrian wadah masih di lakukan secara manual. Antrian gelas yang tersusun secara bertumpuk menjadi salah satu kendala, karena jarak gelas pertama dengan gelas kedua dan seterusnya sangatlah kecil bahkan dapat dinyatakan berdempet. Pada penelitian ini difokuskan pada sistem mekanik untuk mengambil gelas satu persatu yang tersusun secara bertumpuk antar gelas dengan menggunakan bahan akrilik yang berbentuk persegi panjang pada ukuran 100mm x 180mm. Sistem mekanik ini untuk memisahkan gelas yang paling bawah dari tumpukan gelas dengan cara mendorong mekanik pemisah gelas paling bawah, menggunakan silinder pneumatik yang bergerak secara horizontal. Hasil penelitian proses pengambilan gelas 250 ml secara satu per satu dalam tumpukan gelas secara otomatis 100% dengan tumpukan gelas minimal berjumlah 4 gelas.
