MSMEs have great potential in driving macroeconomic development in Indonesia, but are faced with various internal and external challenges. This article aims to analyze the factors that affect the financial stability of MSMEs, with a focus on financial literacy and Islamic financing. The research method used is Literature Review Study (SLR), by collecting secondary data from various articles. The data analysis technique involves synthesizing and interpreting information from relevant literature. The results showed that financial literacy has a positive and significant influence on the financial performance of MSMEs. SNLIK results In 2022, the financial literacy of Indonesians reached an improved level to 49.68%, while financial inclusion increased to 85.10%. This comparison shows an increase from the 2019 National Survey on Financial Literacy and Inclusion (SNLIK) results, where financial literacy was 38.03% and financial inclusion was 76.19%. Financial literacy, which includes an understanding of financial management, financial services institutions, financial products and services, plays a crucial role in helping MSMEs make informed financial decisions. Data from the National Financial Literacy Index shows a positive increase, but further efforts are still needed to improve the financial literacy of MSMEs. In addition to financial literacy, Islamic financing from Islamic banks also contributes to improving the financial performance of MSMEs. The growth of Islamic financing over the past few years shows that Islamic banks have an important role in supporting MSMEs. However, there are still challenges such as the lack of public knowledge about Islamic banking and the lack of human resources (HR) to reach more networks. In conclusion, improving financial literacy and utilization of Islamic financing can be an effective strategy to improve the financial stability of MSMEs in Indonesia. Efforts to improve financial literacy and public understanding of Islamic finance are expected to be the focus of policies that support the growth and stability of MSMEs.

The Indonesian government has made various efforts to suppress the massive corruptive behavior in Indonesia, both through means of law enforcement and prevention, but this has not had a significant impact in reducing the crime rate of corruption and providing a deterrent effect to the corruptors, because every year data on handling cases of corruption crimes in Indonesia tends to increase. The pattern of combating corruption has changed, law enforcement officials no longer only pursue criminal offenders and imprison them (follow the suspect), but also carry out efforts to trace, confiscate and for feit all assets that are the proceeds and instruments of criminal acts (follow the money). Various obstacles arise in efforts to seize assets that are the proceeds or instruments of criminal acts, one of which is the absence of legal rules governing the mechanism for the seizure of assets resulting from gratification crimes in cases that are stopped by law. The method used in this research is normative legal research, using a statutory approach (statue approach) and Court Decisions. This reserach aims to examine and formulate an ideal criminal law policy in the seizure of confiscated objects in the form of assets of gratification suspects whose cases are stopped for the sake of law in the future. The results in this research show that asset seizure in the eradication of corruption currently still places asset seizure as an additional crime so that asset seizure is still based on the defendant's guilt (conviction based asset forfeiture), in addition to through the criminal mechanism of asset forfeiture can also be done through civil mechanisms with the concept of non-conviction based asset forfeiture, but there is no rule governing the asset forfeiture mechanism proceeds of gratification in cases that are stopped by law. The criminal policy of asset seizure in the future based on the Asset Forfeiture Bill related to Criminal Acts with the concept (non-conviction-based asset forfeiture) has clearly regulated the mechanism for the seizure of assets belonging to Suspects or Defendants who died, escaped, became permanently ill, or whose whereabouts are unknown, so as to overcome the legal vacuum in terms of seizure of assets resulting from gratification crimes in cases that are stopped by law.

Immunotherapy related adverse events are commonly seen with immune check point inhibitors therapy. We report the case of a 40-year-old female diagnosed with stage IVB endometroid grade III endometrial cancer, on pembrolizumab immunotherapy, an anti-programmed-death-receptor-1 (PD-1) antibody. Patient was referred for 18F-FDG PET/CT for restaging. 18F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated diffuse increased FDG uptake throughout the body of the pancreas associated with fat stranding in the peripancreatic region, suggestive of pembrolizumab-induced pancreatitis. The diagnosis was confirmed by elevated amylase and lipase levels. Immune-related adverse events are frequently identified on 18F-FDG PET-CT, which may lead to early diagnosis, close clinical follow-up, and appropriate clinical management of immune-related adverse events.

Published: March 2024

Incorporating antioxidants in functional foods represents an excellent dietary approach to prevent oxidative stress. The present work aimed to create a novel formulation of biscuits using a combination of Zingiber cassumunar (ZC) and purple sweet potato (PSP) as the main ingredients, in producing a functional food product that possesses antioxidant properties. The present work involved conducting trials and implementing optimisation techniques in order to obtain three distinct biscuit formulations, namely F1 (ZC 0.75 g: PSP 5.25 g), F2 (ZC 0.45 g: PSP 5.55 g), and F3 (ZC 0.28 g: PSP 5.72 g). The proximate analysis of the three formulations met the Standard Nasional Indonesia (SNI) criteria for biscuits, which encompassed parameters such as moisture content, ash, fat, protein, crude fibre, and metal residue. The F3 biscuits were chosen as the test biscuits in subsequent experiments due to their superior quality. The administration of F3 biscuits at a dosage of 1.94 g per 200 g of body weight to rats fed with high-fat diet for 28 d resulted in a substantial reduction (p < 0.05) in malondialdehyde levels, with a mean value of 2.17 ± 0.22 nmol/mL. Additionally, this intervention improved superoxide dismutase activity, with a mean value of 72.95 ± 3.06%. The F3 biscuits demonstrated promising antioxidant potential. This could serve as a basis for further clinical trials in humans before its potential commercialisation. Further investigation into the formulation of the biscuit is necessary, especially concerning the moisture, ash, and crude fibre levels present.

Published: March 2024

Cashew apples are a source of by-products in the cashew industry. In the present work, a juice product made from cashew apples was produced through vacuum concentration (VC). During VC, a temperature range of 60 to 90°C, and a pressure range of 500 to 650 mmHg were investigated. Total ascorbic acid (TAA), total tannin content (TTC), and total polyphenol content (TPC) after VC were also evaluated. The variation in VC time was observed when the temperature was investigated. The sensory value of the products after mixing citric acid and sugar was evaluated. The results showed that the nutritional parameters were affected by temperature and pressure. TAA and TPC reached their maximum value at 80°C. The TTC was strongly hydrolysed with increasing VC temperature. Furthermore, negative correlation between vacuum pressure and nutrition was observed. Cashew apple juice after VC diluted with water (1:5), and mixed with sugar (20 g/L) and citric acid (0.2 g/L) was preferred by consumers. TAA, TPC, and TTC were monitored for 42-day storage under two temperature conditions of 35 and 45°C. The shelf life of the product reached 117 d. These results set the platform for the development of beverage products from cashew apple by-products, thereby improving the economy of the cashew industry in Vietnam and the world.

Published: March 2024

Both tea polyphenols (TP) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus have been shown to alleviate obesity, and regulate lipid metabolism. However, the combined effects and their underlying mechanisms of action remain elusive. In the present work, the effects of TP, Lactobacillus rhamnosus R5 (R5), and TP+R5 on blood lipids and the gut microbiota of mice fed with a high-fat diet were compared. Results showed that the combination of TP and R5 effectively increased the serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and decreased total cholesterol (TC) levels, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, and the atherosclerosis index (AI) in mice fed with a high-fat diet. The combination treatment resulted in a modification of the structure of the gut microbiota in mice, as evidenced by a decrease in the F/B ratio, and an increase in the abundance of beneficial genera, such as Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibaculum rodentium, and Ruminococcus_uncultured bacterium. Additionally, the contents of SCFAs (acetic, propionic, and butyric acids) in faeces also increased. These could provide new ideas for anti-obesity methods, and a theoretical basis for the development of foods combining probiotics and tea polyphenols.

Centella asiatica, known as Indian or Asiatic pennywort, is consumed raw as salad or used as a brain tonic, treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, and memory improvement. Differences in the drying method will lead to different levels of phytochemical profile and biological activity. Therefore, the present work aimed to investigate the Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectra fingerprint profiles, HPLC analysis of four bioactive compounds, and antioxidant activity of C. asiatica samples exposed to various drying methods, including air-, oven-, and sun-drying. Results showed that all samples had identical FTIR spectra patterns, but there were differences in the absorbance intensities at 1692 and 1634 cm-1, showing the effect of drying methods on the content of extracts’ bioactive compounds. These differences were analysed by chemometrics namely principal components analysis (PCA), and groupings were shown for the three samples. Based on the IC50 values, oven-drying (OD) had the highest antioxidant activity, followed by sun-drying (SD) and air-drying (AD), with IC50 values of 52.25, 94.18, and 99.29 μg/mL, respectively. HPLC analysis showed that OD had a higher percentage for madecassoside and asiaticoside with values of 0.86 and 0.96%, respectively, compared to SD and AD. Meanwhile, AD had the highest content of madecassic and asiatic acids, with values of 0.50 and 0.48%. The absorbance and antioxidant activity data for the three C. asiatica extracts were analysed for the correlation using an orthogonal partial least square. Results showed that at 1006 - 989 cm-1, it positively correlated with antioxidant activity, and could be identified as the C–O functional group of alcohol and phenol.
