Published: October 2024

The Indian ginning industry occupies second position in the world. In India, there are about four thousand ginning factories located across the cotton belt mostly equipped with double roller ginning machines except factories which adopted saw gin technologies in Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan. Ginning is a systematic process of removing fibre, debris, and cottonseed from kapas. The kapas which heaped in the form of a large conical pile in the open yard of the ginning factory catches moisture and contamination. This results into material loss and cost escalation due to additional technical process required to get quality output. Now, a modest attempt made in this paper to study the ginning practices and technological adoption in changing scenario of the Indian industry. The traditional DR gin machines now improved with versatile highest capacity model gin machines which are economical, productive, and consume less power.

Published: October 2024

This study aims to fill the research gap by exploring the impact of integrated communication strategies on consumer behavior in the frozen food industry in Indonesia. It focuses on key variables namely Advertising; Public Relations; Customer Online Reviews; Corporate Social Responsibility, Brand Awareness, Customer Satisfaction, Customer Trust and Repurchase Intention. This study uses a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach, collecting data at a certain point in time to analyze the relationship between variables. This study targeted consumers of frozen food products in Indonesia, using a convenient sampling technique. A total of 162 respondents were selected based on their availability and accessibility to ensure adequate representation. Data analysis included descriptive statistical techniques to analyze the characteristics of respondents and the means of variables. Regression analysis was used to test the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Validity and reliability tests were also conducted to ensure the accuracy of the research instrument. The research reveals several important findings regarding the impact of integrated communications on brand awareness, consumer trust, satisfaction, and repurchase intention in Indonesia's frozen food industry. Effective advertising significantly enhances brand recognition by making the brand more memorable through attractive and informative ads, which in turn increases the intention to repurchase. However, it has minimal impact on customer satisfaction and trust, which are more influenced by product quality and direct experiences. Social activities from public relations, while less effective for brand recognition and satisfaction, significantly boost customer trust by demonstrating the company's commitment to social responsibility, leading to a positive impression and increased repurchase intention. Logical and informative online reviews contribute to brand awareness and trust, but customer satisfaction relies more on personal product experiences than on reviews. Furthermore, tangible CSR activities, such as supporting communities and reducing environmental impacts, not only enhance brand awareness and satisfaction but also strengthen customer trust, leading to a higher likelihood of repurchasing.

Authors: Rifanggi Digma Khariza , Sumirat Erman , Sudrajat Oktofa Yudha
Published: October 2024

This research investigates the impact of sustainable alternative cigarettes on the valuation of PT Hanjaya Mandala Sampoerna Tbk (HMSP.JK), a leading tobacco company in Indonesia and a subsidiary of Philip Morris International (PMI), which is actively pursuing a smoke-free future. With growing global awareness of the health risks associated with traditional cigarettes, there has been a shift towards alternative tobacco products perceived as less harmful. This study evaluates how the introduction and adoption of these alternative products influence the company's market valuation. Using a comprehensive valuation model that integrates financial analysis, industry trends, and potential growth of the alternative cigarette market, the research applies discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis to the projected 10Y HMSP’s FCFF. The evaluation was conducted under three scenarios based on the rate of acceptance of Heated Tobacco Sales (HTU) in the market both domestic and international. In the scenario analysis, the projected stock price varies significantly depending on the rate of HTU sales. Under the most optimistic scenario (Scenario 3/10% HTU revenue mix), the stock price shows substantial upside potential up to 92% with intrinsic value of Rp. 1,297. The market price of HMSP’s share is at Rp. 675 as of August 1, 2024, which indicated that current share price is undervalued. Therefore, it is recommended for investor to buy HMSP stock at current price. Based on these insights, the Author recommends that Sampoerna’s management focus on accelerating the adoption of alternative products, navigating regulatory challenges proactively, and enhancing consumer education to solidify its market position in this evolving landscape.

Abstract: Posterior capsule opacity (PCO) is a common complication following cataract surgery, caused by the proliferation of residual lens epithelial cells. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy on intraocular pressure (IOP) and visual acuity in PCO patients. This was a retrospective descriptive study. Samples were 24 patients diagnosed with PCO who underwent Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado, from January 1, 2022, to January 1, 2024. The study recorded pre- and post-procedure IOP and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) data. Descriptive analysis, including paired t-tests, was used to assess changes in IOP and BCVA over an average follow-up period of 19.2 months. The results showed a statistically significant improvement in BCVA (p=0.000), with mean values improving from 0.72 to 0.27 LogMAR. A significant reduction in IOP was also observed (p=0.015), with long-term IOP remaining stable. A weak correlation was found between follow-up duration and IOP variation (p=0.02). In conclusion, Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy significantly improves visual acuity and stabilizes intraocular pressure in the long term for PCO patients, suggesting its effectiveness in managing post-cataract surgery complications.

Authors: Volcherina Darlis Viny , Zulpeti Anggraini Fini , Mardhiansyah Muhammad , Pebriandi Pebriandi
Published: October 2024

Mining operations disrupt the equilibrium of terrestrial ecosystems, leading to a decline in soil fertility and overall environmental quality. The adverse effects of such activities can severely impact forest ecosystems, resulting in disturbances to physical, chemical, and biological conditions. Consequently, initiatives aimed at restoring soil health to its pre-mining state are essential, often involving revegetation efforts. The cultivation of red jabon trees in nutrient-deficient and less fertile soils necessitates the incorporation of organic matter to enhance soil quality, typically achieved through the application of compost. This study aimed to evaluate the effects and optimal ratios of compost mixed with ex-gold mining soil on the growth of red jabon seedlings. The experimental design included four treatment groups and five replications, yielding a total of 20 experimental units. The treatments for compost application were as follows: D1 = control (no compost), D2 = 10% compost + 90% ex-gold mining soil, D3 = 30% compost + 70% ex-gold mining soil, and D4 = 50% compost + 50% ex-gold mining soil. The parameters observed included survival rate, height growth, diameter growth, dry weight of the plants, and root-to-crown ratio. The findings indicated that the application of compost significantly influenced the growth of red jabon seedlings. Notably, treatment D4 (50% compost + 50% ex-gold mining soil) yielded the most favorable results, achieving a survival rate of 100%, a height increase of 16.56 cm, a diameter increase of 2.21 mm, a dry weight of 40.73 g, and a root-to-crown ratio of 4.84.

Published: October 2024

To be communicatively competent, speaking and listening skill sare two of the four macro-skills to be given importance. However, teaching these two is highly neglected in Bangladeshi classrooms as there have been no initiatives to assess them although the prescribed textbooks English For Today: Classes Nine-Ten and English For Today: Classes Eleven-Twelve by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board, Bangladesh (NCTB) assign speaking and listening tasks to perform in CLT methodology, which Bangladesh introduced in 2001 (Rahman & Karim, 2015). This study investigates how much emphasis these two set books have given to the twoneglected skills i.e., speaking and listening by comparing the tasks assigned in the books. Also, this paper attempts to find out the classroom practices of these activities in reality. To achieve these aims, the books were evaluated following a textbook evaluation checklist. Five teachers teaching English in classes 9-10 and 11-12 were interviewed and 50 students in classes 9-10 and 11-12 were given questionnaires to know the actuality of classroom practices following the activities in the books. The study shows that the books have a range of listening and speaking activities though little exposure to speaking and listening activities is made in classrooms and there is no sufficient logistic support or motivation (i.e., central assessment) for the actualization of them.

The text “Exercise Book” is a short story, the translation of “Khata”, extracted from the collection of Rabindranath Tagore's short stories titled Rabindranath Tagore: Selected Short Stories, translated by William Radice. This analysis attempts to explore the emotional narrative and discovers if it interprets the subjectivity of Uma’s feelings and thoughts depicted in the short story “Khata” relatively. In addition, this paper is an exertion to understand and scrutinize which category of the translation does this story follow, while translating a text whether it is a sense-for-sense translation or word-for-word translation and whether it is a literary art form or not. For theorizing the translated short story three translation theories by Jakobson, Derrida and Benjamin have been reconnoitered in the paper.

O ponto de partida para a análise é a inclusão da gestão democrática como um dos princípios fundamentais da educação na Constituição Federal. Esse marco legal significativo não apenas estruturou as instituições de ensino público, mas também deu início a uma abordagem abrangente da gestão democrática, que transcende as meras tomadas de decisão. O artigo destaca a gestão democrática como um conceito que vai além das meras tomadas de decisão, baseando-se na participação ativa dos membros da comunidade escolar, construção coletiva e colaborativa de regras e procedimentos, e a criação de canais de comunicação para ampliar o acesso à informação. Nesse processo, os caminhos para a gestão democrática na escola envolvem o Conselho Deliberativo, o Grêmio Estudantil e a Associação de Pais e Professores, instâncias de participação essenciais para uma gestão inclusiva e participativa.

A proposição deste artigo é apresentar uma revisão sistemática sobre a educação de surdos e a Escola Cidadã Integral, na Paraíba, no período de 2016 a 2023. O levantamento de trabalhos foi realizado a partir de dois lócus epistêmicos: as reuniões da Associação Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação (Anped) e o Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES).  O estudo evidenciou o foco de pesquisas sobre a Escola Cidadã Integral em instituições públicas da Paraíba. Supomos que tal foco se deve porque o modelo Escola Cidadã Integral faz parte de um programa regional, o Programa das Escolas Cidadãs Integrais, específico da Paraíba, que foi criado em parceria com o Instituto de Corresponsabilidade pela Educação, no ano de 2015, tornando-se em 2018, uma política de estado, sendo ampliado para toda a Rede Estadual de Educação. Nenhum estudo abordou a ECI na escola de surdos: ECIAC, o que revela a necessidade de indicação de outros estudos, visando aprofundar essa questão. Além disso, revela que a ECI é um modelo de escola concebida para ouvintes, em sua maioria feito por ouvintes, que não é direcionado para as pessoas surdas. Mesmo diante da mudança em seu projeto político pedagógico, destacamos a importância da ECIAC, enquanto uma escola pública bilíngue para surdos, na constituição do ser surdo e na educação das pessoas surdas de Campina Grande/PB e das demais cidades circunvizinhas, resultado de um esforço coletivo e participativo de todos os segmentos da escola, que, há 40 anos, configura-se como um espaço de resistência face à mudança para o referido modelo de escola e perante às políticas que reforçam a pedagogia das competências e a padronização das escolas.

O câncer de mama representa o tumor de maior incidência e maior mortalidade na população feminina, representando 522 mil óbitos anualmente no mundo. No Brasil sua incidência é de 56,20 casos a cada 100 mil mulheres, tratando-se de um problema de saúde pública. A detecção precoce se mostra como a principal estratégia para o combate ao câncer de mama, baseando-se primordialmente no rastreamento, que tem como método de escolha mais utilizado a mamografia. Foi calculado que entre 1987 e 1997, nos EUA, 10 mil mulheres deixaram de morrer por câncer de mama devido ao efetivo rastreio realizado. No brasil, o número de mamografias aumentou em 248% entre 2009 e 2019. Em contrapartida, durante a pandemia pelo coronavírus, milhões de pacientes foram impedidas de realizar a mamografia devido às políticas de isolamento social implementadas devido a pandemia de COVID-19. O estudo objetivou a análise e a comparação entre a queda de procedimentos realizados para rastreamento de câncer de mama durante a pandemia de COVID-19 e o aumento no registro de lesões nodulares malignas e óbitos por neoplasias malignas da mama no período pós-pandemia. Referiu-se a uma pesquisa de natureza quantitativa, baseada em dados disponíveis na plataforma DataSUS, por meio do Sistema de Informação do Câncer (SISCAN). Verificou-se a queda do volume de procedimentos realizados durante o período de pandemia e o posterior aumento do número de diagnósticos de câncer de mama e óbitos por esta causa no Brasil.

O preenchimento à base de ácido hialurônico (AH) é uma alternativa não cirúrgica e temporária eficaz para corrigir a retrusão leve a moderada do mento. O AH não causa ação inflamatória, promove resultados imediatos e duradouros, porém não vitalícios. Diante do exposto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo relatar a técnica de preenchimento do mento com ácido hialurônico em paciente retrognata. Paciente J.P.B., 38 anos de idade, gênero feminino, procurou atendimento com queixa de deficiência de mento. Após exame clínico da face, da oclusão dentária e análise mentual, foi determinado o diagnóstico e planejamento do caso. O tratamento proposto foi preenchimento do mento com ácido hialurônico. Conforme demonstrado no presente estudo, o preenchimento do mento com ácido hialurônico mostrou-se uma alternativa não cirúrgica eficaz para atenuar o retrognatismo mandibular da paciente. Através deste procedimento minimamente invasivo, foi possível melhorar o contorno e a projeção do mento, com resultados imediatos, previsíveis e sem a necessidade de intervenção cirúrgica.
