KATA PENGANTARPuji syukur kehadirat Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, karena berkat rahmat dan hidayah-Nya penulis dapat menyelesaikan buku yang berjudul “Supply Chain Management ”. Buku ini ditulis dengan tujuan untuk membantu akademisi dan praktisi dalam Pelaksanaan Operasional Manajemen Rantai Pasok.Supply Chain Management (SCM) atau strategi pemasok dilatar belakangi oleh dua hal pokok, yaitu : pertama di zaman modern ini sudah tidak relevan lagi penggunaan praktek manajemen logistik tradisional, karena tidak dapat menciptakan keunggulan kompetitif. Kedua adanya perubahan lingkungan bisnis yang semakin cepat dengan persaingan yang semakin ketat. Perkembangan lingkungan industri yang dinamis pada era global seperti sekarang ini menjadi pemicu bagi banyak organisasi perusahaan untuk menggali potensi yang dimiliki, serta mengidentifikasi faktor kunci sukses untuk unggul dalam persaingan yang semakin kompetitif. Teknologi yang juga berkembang pesat menjadi sebuah kekuatan untuk diterapkan dalam iklim persaingan. Usaha-usaha yang dilakukan pada akhirnya diarahkan untuk memberikan produk terbaik kepada konsumen. Konteks produk yang ditawarkan perusahaan kepada konsumen dalam pengertian manajemen produksi dan operasi adalah kombinasi produk barang dan jasa. Industri manufaktur tidak akan dapat bersaing apabila produk yang ditawarkan murni hanya barang, dan industri jasa juga tidak memiliki daya tarik apabila yang ditawarkan kepada konsumen murni berupa layanan. Keberhasilan perusahaan dalam memberikan produk terbaik kepada konsumen meliputi kombinasi diivantara keduanya, yaitu barang dan jasa dalam porsi masing-masing yang ideal menurut perusahaan. Menyajikan produk dalam arti luas tersebut merupakan tantangan sekaligus peluang bagi sistem produksi operasi yang harus dijalankan perusahaan. Pada dasarnya konsumen mengharapkan dapat memperoleh produk yang memiliki manfaat pada tingkat harga yang dapat diterima. Untuk mewujudkan keinginan konsumen tersebut maka setiap perusahaan berusaha secara optimal untuk menggunakan seluruh asset dan kemampuan yang dimiliki untuk memberikan value terhadap harapan konsumen.Besar harapan kami, buku ini dapat memberikan pengetahuan Suplly Chain Management. Penulis juga menyadari buku ini masih belum sempurna. Kritik, saran, dan koreksi dari pembaca sangat membantu penulis dalam memperbaiki tulisan dalam edisi berikutnya. Terima Kasih.

Reducing Explicit Blatant Dehumanization by Correcting Exaggerated Meta-Perceptions
Authors: Landry Alexander , Schooler Jonathan , Willer Robb , Seli Paul
Published: November 2021

If blatantly dehumanizing a group of people—overtly characterizing them as less than human— undermines the moral restraints against harming them, then reversing this process is paramount. Addressing the troublingly pervasive dehumanization among American political partisans appears especially crucial, given that it has been linked to anti-democratic hostility. Perhaps because of its overt nature, partisans recognize—and even exaggerate—the extent to which out-partisans blatantly dehumanize them. Past research shows the perception of being dehumanized by an outgroup (i.e., meta-dehumanization) leads people to respond with reciprocal dehumanization. Therefore, we reasoned that partisans’ dehumanization could be reduced by correcting their exaggerated meta-dehumanization. Indeed, across 3 preregistered studies (N = 4,154), an intervention correcting American partisans’ exaggerated meta-dehumanization reduced their own dehumanization of out-partisans. Importantly, this decreased dehumanization persisted at a 1-week follow-up and predicted downstream reductions in partisans’ anti-democratic hostility, suggesting that correcting exaggerated meta-dehumanization can durably mitigate the dark specter of dehumanization.
So you think you are an ally? Effects of (in)congruence between men's self-perceptions and women's perceptions of men’s values and allyship on women's inclusion and vitality
Authors: Warren Meg Aum , Schwam Allison
Published: November 2021

As public consciousness of sexism is increasing in the workplace (e.g., #MeToo movement), labeling oneself as an ally (e.g., UN HeforShe campaign) is becoming more socially desirable for men. However, do women agree with such men in their assessments of being allies? Importantly, how does women’s agreement (or not) with men’s self-assessments of allyship, affect women’s inclusion-relevant outcomes? Using a multi-informant design and data from 101 men-women colleague pairs, this study considered men’s self-perceptions and women’s other-reports of men’s key allyship-relevant characteristics - justice, moral courage, civility, and allyship. Polynomial regression and response surface analyses revealed differential impacts of (in)congruence between men’s and women’s perceptions on women’s sense of inclusion and vitality. Simply, when women perceived men as higher (or the same) in justice, moral courage, and civility than men reported themselves, it positively predicted women’s outcomes. This suggests that humble self-presentation by men on characteristics that are parallel to allyship (but not allyship) may be ideal. Yet, both under- and over-estimation by men on allyship itself predicted poorer outcomes for women, suggesting that the ideal is for men to have an accurate assessment of their own strengths and weaknesses as an ally.
The impact of social support on substance use recovery and exploring potential protective and risk factors during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Hayden Candice
Published: November 2021

COVID-19 and stay-at-home orders have caused disruptions in social interactions. Vulnerable populations, such as those in early substance use recovery, that rely on social support and social engagement have faced many challenges. The purpose of this study was to explore potential associations between perceived social support and recovery related outcomes, correlates of recovery related outcomes among face-to-face and virtual engagement, and identify characteristics that are predictive of perceived social support. Results revealed that social support was positively associated with quality of life and abstinence self-efficacy, and negatively associated with psychological distress. Additionally, recovery related outcomes differed among face-to-face and virtual interactions. Lastly, characteristics such as gratitude, mindfulness, and coping were positively associated with perceived social support.
Examining the relationship between metacognitive trust in thinking styles and supernatural beliefs
Authors: van Mulukom Valerie , Baimel Adam , de Oliveira Maraldi Everton , Coleman Thomas Joseph , Farias Miguel
Published: November 2021

Conflicting findings have emerged from research on the relationship between thinking styles and supernatural beliefs. In two studies, we examined this relationship through meta-cognitive trust and developed a new (1) experimental manipulation, a short scientific article describing the benefits of thinking styles, (2) trust in thinking styles measure, the Ambiguous Decisions task, and (3) supernatural belief measure, the Belief in Psychic Ability scale. In Study 1 (N=415) we found differences in metacognitive trust in thinking styles between the analytical and intuitive condition, and overall higher analytical scores. We also found stronger correlations between thinking style measures and psychic ability and paranormal beliefs than with religious beliefs, but a mixed-effect linear regression showed little to no variation in how measures of thinking style related to types of supernatural beliefs. In Study 2, we replicated Study 1 with participants from the United States, Canada, and Brazil (N=802), and found similar results, though Brazilian participants showed a reduced emphasis on analytical thinking. We conclude that our new design, task, and scale may be particularly useful for dual-processing research on supernatural belief.
Unconditional cash transfers reduce homelessness
Authors: Dwyer Ryan Joseph , Palepu Anita , Williams Claire , Zhao Jiaying
Published: November 2021

Homelessness is an economic and social crisis. In a cluster-randomized controlled trial, we address a core cause of homelessness—lack of money—by providing a one-time unconditional cash transfer of CAD$7,500 to each of 50 individuals experiencing homelessness, with another 65 as controls in Vancouver, BC. Over one year, cash recipients spent fewer days homeless, increased savings and spending with no increase in temptation goods spending, and generated societal net savings of $777 per recipient via reduced time in shelters. Additional experiments revealed public mistrust toward the ability of homeless individuals to manage money, and demonstrated interventions to increase public support for a cash transfer policy using counter-stereotypical or utilitarian messaging. Together, this research offers a potential approach to address homelessness and provides insights for homelessness reduction policies.
The Bayesian Inferential Paradigm in Archaeology
Authors: Otarola-Castillo Erik , Torquato Meissa G , Buck Caitlin Elisabeth
Published: November 2021

Archaeologists often use data and quantitative statistical methods to evaluate their ideas. Although there are various statistical frameworks for decision-making in archaeology and science in general, in this chapter, we provide a simple explanation of Bayesian statistics. To contextualize the Bayesian statistical framework, we briefly compare it to the more widespread null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) approach. We also provide a simple example to illustrate how archaeologists use data and the Bayesian framework to compare hypotheses and evaluate their uncertainty. We then review how archaeologists have applied Bayesian statistics to solve research problems related to radiocarbon dating and chronology, lithic, ceramic, zooarchaeological, bioarchaeological, and spatial analyses. Because recent work has reviewed Bayesian applications in archaeology from the 1990s up to 2017, this work considers the relevant literature published since 2017.
The Interdependence of Research Funding Concentration, Policy Priorities, and Problem Choice
Authors: Madsen Emil Bargmann
Published: November 2021

The prioritisation of research funding towards a small elite of researchers and research topics of "strategic" importance are becoming a norm across national research systems. Researchers are increasingly worried that such steering hampers the diversity of scientific approaches and problems addressed. However, the effects of increased steering of who and what receives research funds are not well known. I use evidence from 65,000 research grants awarded by seven research councils in the United Kingdom and fifteen Danish research funders to investigate how strong funding concentration and thematic targeting leads to less topical diversity. Researchers in the very top of the funding distribution primarily investigate topics and disciplines with the most funding success, and research output form targeted funding schemes overlaps with that from investigatorledgrants. Moreover, priorities from private funders line up with the type of researchfunded by public research councils. The findings highlight how steering through funding decisions can multiply
Intra-Year Employment Instability and Economic Wellbeing Among Urban Households: Mitigating Effects of the Social Safety Net
Authors: Cai Julie Y. , Wimer Christopher , Berger Lonnie
Published: November 2021

Labor market structures and job characteristics have changed in the United States over the last few decades – often making work more unpredictable. Employment instability, or job churning, may have distinct consequences for households’ economic well-being. Meanwhile, American social policies have shifted from cash-based benefits toward in-kind and work-conditioned programs. Yet, we know little about how social programs buffer the financial hardships imposed by economic shocks due to job churning. This paper harnesses novel data collected at 3-month intervals to study the associations between household members’ employment trajectories and (1) household income packages, (2) poverty status, and (3) material hardships, paying particular attention to whether government benefit receipt buffers against the adverse financial consequences of unstable employment. We find that consistent unemployment is most strongly associated with low income and poverty but not material hardship. Unstably employed households have almost twice the likelihood of experiencing all domains of material hardship relative to consistently employed households. Our results also suggest that cash transfers buffer against the negative impact of persistent unemployment, while in-kind transfers buffer against the impacts of unstable employment. Altogether, the results highlight the roles and extent of impacts of cash, in-kind benefits, and tax system, which can inform future policy recommendations in an age of high levels of economic inequality.
Society of lost illusions
Authors:   INION RAN, Lapina Natalia
Published: November 2021

Modern French society, with a light hand of the sociologist J. Fourquet, is more often called the «archipelago». Social splits in it run along many lines: socio-economic inequality is growing, socio-territorial disproportions are growing, and the conflict of generations is becoming more and more visible. France is not the only country where social divisions are strong, but its feature is that 56% of GDP is redistributed by the state, according to this indicator, France is the leader of the EU. Generous social policies help to fight poverty, but they don't save the middle class. Its numbers are dwindling and fragmented. The «pauperization» of the middle class is one of the most serious social consequences of France's entry into the global information economy. Another consequence of this process is the division of workers into those who have joined the open knowledge economy and those who have been left behind. Contradictions between generations are growing, French youth are «plunging» into poverty. Socially homogeneous territories are formed within the country, which means that different social classes and groups no longer «meet», and each lives in his own space. The article examines new and previous social divisions that have serious political and social consequences.
‘English only’ to ‘English for all’ - a new Paradigm Shift
Authors: Shrestha Amul
Published: November 2021

Due to globalisation and the influence of the historical events like colonisation made English language as a global lingua franca and the language comprising highest speakers in the world. Because of its indomitable nature, the languages of the world got influenced. Thus, English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL) might be the counterpart to any other languages belonging to any nations. Consequently, bi-multilingualism has been a new paradigm shift from monolingual era opening the horizon of divergent linguistic features. This paper provides an ample space to discuss about the implication of multilingualism eradicating the era of monolingualism and diversity management in ELT classroom in academia. This article articulates about the new innovative ideas for creating the languages of same standard in the society, without any biasness, releasing the more luring path for cultural connection.  And yet a gap has been left behind to plan, promote and produce for the further researches in this field.
Domains of entrepreneurial ecosystem and its impact on entrepreneurship
Authors: Aryal Anil Kumar
Published: November 2021

Entrepreneurship is the key determinant for economic growth because it maximizes wealth of the nation by creating new businesses based on innovation and disruptive ideas. The success of entrepreneurial venture relies on proper understanding of its ecosystem, i.e., various elements or factors associated with entrepreneurship. This paper has tried to uncover various elements of the entrepreneurial ecosystem based on the model developed by Isenberg in 2010 and how they impact on entrepreneurship. This is a literature based reflective article where various literatures are referred to link the connection between entrepreneurship and its mainly six domains: Policy, Finance, Culture, Support, Human Capital, and Markets. Literatures have shown the strong relation and impact of these domains on entrepreneurial activities but to clear the level of impact, further studies are necessary. Similarly, there is also an avenue to explore the connectivity between these domains itself.
Learning without Teachers (?): a study of Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha
Authors: Bhattarai Nitya Raj
Published: November 2021

The title character in Herman Hesse’s novel, Siddhartha, tried to revolt against teacher-centered teaching and started his own journey to get enlightenment through self-quest or self-investigation. However, this research paper studies Siddhartha declaration acquiring enlightenment through his self- education with contradictory ideas and marks a direct or indirect involvement of teachers in his education. The essay supports its line of departure giving the background of Siddhartha’s journey of enlightenment, studying his self- education as a part of teacher-based education by answering the question in two different topics (why did he leave teachers? / Can education be possible without teachers?) and finally draw its conclusion. Though Siddhartha is an artistic work and the ideas of this paper may not be applicable in the real classroom scenario, the reliability of the analysis of the book would become fruitful since it gives some perspectives to understand our practices philosophically- if not practically.

Association of Thr715Pro P-Selectin Gene Polymorphism in Diabetic Retinopathy in North Indian Population: A Prospective Clinical Study
Authors: Sharma Ritika , Kant Shri , Mishra Deepak , Srivastav Tanmay , Singh Hemendra
Published: November 2021

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Thr715Pro P-Selectin gene polymorphism in patients with Diabetic Retinopathy in North Indian population and establish its role in the pathophysiology as an independent factor.
Materials and methods: This is a prospective clinical study conducted on 60 patients at a tertiary care centre in North India over a period of eighteen months. Sixty patients satisfying the inclusion criteria were selected from the Vitreoretina clinic in the department. They were categorised equally in three groups namely Diabetics with diabetic retinopathy (DwDR), Diabetics without diabetic retinopathy (DwoDR), and non diabetics. The non-diabetics group was further divided into healthy controls, Hypertensive Retinopathy (HR) and Non-exudative Age Related Macular Degeneration (NEAMD). All the patients underwent complete ophthalmic evaluation and blood samples were drawn for the genetic study with their informed consent. Data was analysed using SPSS software version 16.
Results: The genotypic analysis between DwDR, DwoDR and the three subgroup of controls comprising of healthy controls, HR and NEAMD showed that Thr715Pro (A/C) polymorphism prevalence was significantly high in DwDR (p = 0.003) and DwoDR (p = 0.003) compared to healthy controls. No significant difference was noted between DwDR, DwoDR and the HR and NEAMD groups. 
Conclusion: Thr715Pro P-Selectin gene Polymorphism could not be established as an independent factor in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy, as its association is found with other systemic diseases which create a prothrombotic state.

Authors: Bhaskar Gyan , Ambastha Anita , Mohan Nilesh , Sinha Shalini , Shree Srishti
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a common ophthalmic condition and has conventionally been managed by external dacryocystorhinostomy. However this procedure is time consuming and involves making mucosal flaps. The aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcome in Arrugas bone trephine-assisted flapless dacryocystorhinostomy with Circumosteal - Mitomycin C versus conventional external dacryocystorhinostomy.
Materials and methods: This is a retrospective non-randomized study of  surgical outcome in patients of primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction  who underwent an Arrugas bone trephine assisted  flapless dacryocystorhinostomy with Circumosteal - Mitomycin C (group A)  versus  those  who underwent conventional external dacryocystorhinostomy (group B)  in a teaching hospital in North India. Patients with previously failed dacryocystorhinostomy, lacrimal fistula, canalicular and common canalicular obstruction were excluded. Success was defined as patent syringing at the end of one year. Surgical time was calculated from skin incision to skin suturing.
Results: There was complete resolution of epiphora with patent syringing in 43 out of 52 patients in  group A, while in group B, 47 out of 55 patients had complete resolution of epiphora with patent syringing at the end of one year (p= 0.77). Mean surgical time was significantly  lower in Group A than in Group B (p=<.05). Scarring and closure of the ostium was the most common cause of failure in both groups (Group A, n=5, 9.6%; Group B, n= 3, 5.45%).
Conclusion: Arrugas bone trephine-assisted flapless dacryocystorhinostomy with Circumosteal - Mitomycin C is a viable alternative to conventional external dacryocystorhinostomy with comparable success rate and shorter surgical time and a faster learning curve.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: In Nepal, females suffer from disproportionately higher burden of blindness and vision impairment with low access to eye care. The available knowledge is inadequate to address the issues related to gender and generate information to reduce the gender disparity. The aim of this study was to determine female clients’ satisfaction with services at eye facilities in Nepal and to estimate the cost of cataract surgery.
Materials and methods: Exit interviews were conducted in 2018 with 308 female clients from eight facilities in five districts. Face to face interviews were conducted using a pretested semi-structured questionnaire adopted from the midterm review of Vision 2020. 
Results: The mean age of participants was 54±17 years. Ninety seven percent (97%) of the participants reported that they received service as per their expectation and were satisfied with the service of the facilities. Major factors for satisfaction were: thorough eye examination (54%), behavior of health staff (40%), and cleanliness of health facility (39%). Another eighty percent (80%) of the participants mentioned that they would recommend or return to the same facility. Fifteen percent of the participants perceived that they faced problems at the eye facility because of their gender. Around three quarters (73%) paid health expenses from their pocket. Most (83%) of the participants rated user fees as either reasonable or inexpensive.
Conclusion: The majority of participants reported receiving service as expected and willingness to return to the same eye health facility for future consultation. However, most participants had to pay the health care expenses out-of-pocket.

Authors: Goel Neha
Published: November 2021

Introduction: This study aimed to describe the occurrence of bilateral neuroretinitis and retinal vasculitis in an immunocompetent female with disseminated tuberculosis.
Case description: A 25 year old female diagnosed with disseminated tuberculosis presented with sudden painful loss of vision bilaterally. On examination she was found to have bilateral neuroretinitis and retinal periphlebitis involving the posterior pole. She was prescribed systemic steroids in addition to the anti-tuberculous therapy that she was receiving. The fundus lesions gradually resolved over four months with modest improvement in visual acuity. There were no recurrences in the follow up period of 14 months. 
Conclusions: Ocular involvement in the form of neuroretinitis with concomitant retinal vasculitis can occur in patients with disseminated tuberculosis. Addition of systemic steroids to anti-tuberculous therapy leads to anatomical resolution with improvement in visual acuity.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction over time in patients undergoing external dacryocystorhinostomy for primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction when done by a general ophthalmologist.
Materials and methods: This prospective interventional case series was done in a secondary level eye hospital in the Midwestern region of Nepal from 1st January 2018 to 30th December 2018. Fifty-four consecutive adult patients diagnosed with primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction who underwent external dacryocystorhinostomy performed by a general ophthalmologist were included. The surgical success rate was determined at six months on the basis of the resolution of symptoms with patency on syringing. Postoperative patient satisfaction was evaluated 6 months after surgery with a standardized Glasgow Benefit Inventory and post-intervention questionnaire.
Results: A total of 54 eyes were operated on within the study period and a larger number of surgeries were done in the age group 26-30 years. Female constituted 79.6 % and male 20.4% with a ratio of 3.9:1. Overall surgical success rate 6 months after surgery was 96.30%. The mean total Glasgow benefit inventory (GBI) score was 48.83 ± 23.87 (95% CI, 42.96- 56.95), mean general subscale score was 52.70± 23.28 (95% CI, 46.49-60.38), social support subscale was 49.69 ± 44.68 (95% CI, 41.15-60.35) and physical health subscale score was 37.07 ± 41.19 (95% CI, 27.48-49.26).
Conclusion: The external dacryocystorhinostomy surgeries performed by general ophthalmologists achieved an excellent surgical success rate and good patient satisfaction proven by a validated questionnaire.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: The main purpose of this survey was to find out what technique for bevacizumab injection is practiced by ophthalmologists in Nepal and to evaluate which is the best technique of drug dispensing and what possible hindrances are there in following it.
Materials and methods: This was an online survey using google forms.
Results: There were a total of 34 participants in the survey. Most of the participants (58.8%) followed the same vial, multiple prick, multiple days method for giving intravitreal bevacizumab.. Majority of participants said they thought that aliquoting the drug and using it same day would be the best technique to prevent post injection endophthalmitis. Cost and unsuitability for small hospitals were the main factor preventing surgeons from practicing the best method.
Conclusion: Risk of endophthalmitis can be reduced by following proper drug dispensing techniques. Aliquoting bevacizumab in smaller syringes under aseptic conditions can reduce the risk of endophthalmitis.

Introduction: Recently, the Indian subcontinent has been hard hit by the second wave of COVID-19. Along with it, the region has become a hot spot for mucormycosis infection in patients with COVID-19.  The aim of this paper  is to provide a scientific overview on the status of mucormycosis in pre-COVID-19 era and on how COVID-19 could have directly or indirectly expose the hidden burden of mucormycosis globally.
Materials and methods: This paper is structured as a narrative review  and is based on relevant  published literature on both COVID-19 and mucormycosis. 
Conclusion: Mucormycosis in the pre-COVID-19 era was almost a neglected entity. It was because  the risk factors for both - More severe COVID-19 infections and Mucormycosis are almost similar – COVID-19  might have helped to expose the true magnitude of the mucormycosis and flagging it as a major public health concern requiring a revisit by medical science.

This study deals with the effect of silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO2NPs) on the mechanical properties of polymer matrix composite (PMC). The nanocomposites were prepared by adding carbon fiber (CF1.5%) to the unsaturated polyester resin, and then different proportions of SiO2 NPs (1 to 4% by weight) were added using the ultrasonic bath machine dispersion method. The results showed that the tensile strength decreases with the increase in the partial weight of SiO2. Impact resistance, bending and compressive strength were improved by (50.67%, 10.2%, and 18.14%) respectively at 2% by weight, then these properties decreased with the increase in weight ratio of (SiO2), and the hardness was improved by (19.7%) at 3% by weight. The present study aims to study the effect of adding silicon dioxide nanoparticles on the mechanical properties (tensile properties, compression, hardness and bending) of carbon fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester composite.

Friction stir welding (FSW) process is a solid-state joining invented via the Welding Institute in 1991 at a great rate emerging as an application by fusion welding for joining different alloys. The wrought aluminum alloy 6061 is heat treatable and possesses a high corrosion resistance. This alloy has been used in a wide range of applications, like arenas gymnasiums and trains bodies. Aluminum alloy 6061 cannot be easily welded by the conventional fusion welding process because of the cracks that make the mechanical of welding joint very weak. In FSW, many parameters effect on its welding process. In the present research, the pre-heating effect on the aluminum 6061 sheet at 100°C and 150°C was studied. This heat has to be given for obtaining a defect-free as well as quality joint. Result manifested that the welding without pre-heating the parent metal at a (1120 r.p.m) rotational speed and a (30 mm/min) welding speed gave the best result of the ultimate tensile strength (236 N/mm2).
