Published: February 2024

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are pivotal in propelling the Indonesian economy. The stability and sustainability of economies in different regions have been greatly affected by the worldwide economic issues that have emerged due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the identified repercussions can be witnessed in the culinary sector of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Langsa City. Thus, this study examines the effect of internal and external factors on the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) operating in the culinary sector within Langsa City. Additionally, this research aims to evaluate and propose strategies for enhancing the performance of SMEs in the culinary industry by employing a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis framework specifically tailored to the context of Langsa City. The present study uses a qualitative research design utilizing a case research approach. Data is gathered by distributing questionnaires, conducting in-depth interviews, and assessing validity through source triangulation. Based on the findings of the study, it was determined that the Internal Factor Analysis Summary (IFAS) and External Factor Analysis Summary (EFAS) about the performance evaluation of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) operating in the culinary sector in Langsa City have not yet reached their maximum potential. This conclusion was drawn through the application of SWOT analysis. This observation may be due to the outcomes of the Cartesian diagram utilized in the SWOT analysis. The chart reveals that quadrant II exhibits the highest cumulative score, suggesting several risks encountered by the business stakeholders. However, the culinary small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) actors have internal strengths. To boost the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the culinary sector, it is imperative to employ a Strengths-Threats (S-T) approach that focuses on implementing product diversification techniques.

Studijska posjeta bosanskohercegovačkih arheologa Egiptu (Melisa Forić)
Ponovo o nalazima “komanskog” obilježja u Dalmaciji
Authors: Milošević Ante
Published: February 2024

U posljednjih nekoliko godina dva autora u Hrvatskoj, na polju arheologije, okrznula su se o naša razmišljanja o “komanskim” elementima u materijalnoj kulturi kasnoantičke i ranosrednjovjekovne Dalmacije i Hrvatske. Učinio je to nedavno i Đ. Janković iz Srbije, no, u sasvim drugom kontekstu i iz drugačijih pobuda. Kako je problem nalaza “komanskog” obilježja tek segment građe o kojoj on u knjizi raspravlja, u ovoj prilici nećemo se na to šire osvrtati, nego uskoro na knjigu u cjelini. Kada je riječ o spomenutim hrvatskim autorima, važno je još istaći da smo naše stavove o tome pitanju u literaturi iznijeli prije više od dvadeset godina, dok smo još radili u Muzeju Cetinske krajine u Sinju, pa čudi da su predmetom interesa postali tek sada. Naše čuđenje je tim veće jer nisu potaknuti novim relevantnim nalazima i bitnim novim podatcima koji mogu utjecati na naše  tavove i stavove onih s kojima smo mi u to doba na neki način pokušali raspravljati.

Structural Analysis of Strongly Coupled Dusty Plasma using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Authors: Shahzad Aamir , Hanif Fazeelat , Manzoor Alina
Published: February 2024

Equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulation has been used to investigate structural behaviors (order-disorder structures) of three-dimensional (3D) strongly coupled dusty plasmas (SCDPs). The Yukawa (screened coulomb) potential and periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) have been used in the SCDPs algorithm. Two factors have been used to analyze the structural behavior of SCDP which are radial distribution function (RDF), and lattice correlation (LC). The results for these factors have been calculated in a canonical (NVT) ensemble at external electric field strength (E* = 0.03) for different plasma conditions of Coulomb coupling (Γ) and Debye screening parameters (κ) at the number of particles (N = 500). Their results have shown that the 3D SCDP structure moves from a disordered to an ordered state with increasing Γ, and the long-range order moves to high Γ with an increase of κ. In comparison to earlier numerical, experimental, and theoretical data, the obtained results have been found to be more acceptable.

Authors: Munkombwe Joshua , Phiri Jackson
Published: February 2024

Exploring the underlying issues of low uptake of health insurance by rural communities is a subject of growing importance for the attainment of inclusive health. Insurance plays a key role in many aspects of community development, especially the vulnerable and marginalized groups. Agreeably, human health insurance uptake in many developing countries seems to be increasing with the mandatory government policy direction that compels all employed citizens to subscribe to the health insurance policy. This study answers the question why health insurance presents a low uptake in the health systems. We reviewed 55 journal articles and 20 practitioner websites covering the period between 2003 and 2022 to understand the underlying reasons for the low uptake of human health insurance systems, especially among rural communities. The results show that policy direction significantly influences system change for the uptake of health insurance across different stakeholders.

Authors: Calças Marques Roberto , Borges Henriques , Afonso Rita , Soares José , Carias Eduarda , Carrasqueira Hermínio , Paula Silva Ana
Published: February 2024

High resistin levels have been associated with malnutrition, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between serum resistin levels and the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), a validated nutritional assessment tool in this population. It also investigates the role of resistin as a potential predictor of cardiovascular mortality in early-stage diabetic CKD. Prospective observational study that included 217 type 2 diabetic patients with mild to moderate CKD. Patients were divided into three groups according to PG-SGA: well-nourished (category A), moderately malnourished or suspected of being malnourished (category B), or severely malnourished (category C). The severely malnourished group had higher resistin levels, and resistin was positively correlated with IL-6, PG-SGA score, left ventricular mass index, and pulse pressure, while negatively correlating with vitamin D and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We found that high resistin levels (HR = 1.350; 95% CI 1.187–1.535), PG-SGA greater than 10 (HR = 4.858; 95% CI 1.664–14.185), and higher HOMA-IR (HR = 1.099; 95% CI 1.007–4.001) were significant independent predictors of cardiovascular mortality. The study suggests that high resistin levels are associated with malnutrition in mild to moderate CKD and independently predict cardiovascular mortality in this population.

Война – вечная тема в художественной и документальной литературе, которая остается актуальной даже среди поколения так азываемых миллениалов. Вопрос, следуют ли миллениалы традиции или находят новые формы для отражения военной тематики, является крайне интересным для изучения. Наша работа посвящена анализу новейшей русской военной прозы на материале сборника рассказов П. Жеребцовой «Тонкая серебристая нить». В статье нами рассматриваются мистические мотивы сборника, исследуются особенности изображения войны в рассказах, а также тема конфликтов на национальной почве.
