Authors: Cindya Mahyudin Ratu , Hidayatullah Syarif , Respati Harianto
Published: October 2024

Indonesia, as a country rich in natural resources and biodiversity, has a great opportunity to develop an environmentally friendly tourism sector. In the last two decades, there has been an increasing interest in tourism development, especially with regard to green tourism. This study aims to empirically test the effect of green tourism differentiation and green marketing on tourists’ decisions to visit certain destinations. The independent variables for this analysis are green tourism differentiation and green marketing. The dependent variable is visit decision. The intervening variable is visit interest. The sample for this research draws from tourists who are visiting or have already visited Paharangan Village Agrotourism. The engineering method, non-probability sampling, was used for the sampling. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires directly to respondents, totalling as many as 130 questionnaires, and multiple linear regression and path analyses were conducted. The results show that while green tourism differentiation and green marketing significantly positively affect visit decision and visit interest of tourists, visit interest does not affect visit decision, and visit interest is not proven as an intervening variable between green tourism differentiation and green marketing on visiting decisions.

Poverty Inflation, FDI Consumption, and Economic Growth in Indonesia in the Vector Autoregressive Model Analysis
Authors: Nusa Yahya , Sanusi Anwar , Supanto Fajar , . Savitri , Bawono Suryaning
Published: October 2024

The difference in the results from previous studies on the impact of inflation on poverty, coupled with an increase in the money supply from direct investment, inspired this research. This study aimed to ascertain how poverty, inflation, and foreign investment affect consumption spending in Indonesia based on 1997-2021 time series data. This study used Vector Autoregression estimation, utilizing data sources from the World Bank. The data will be processed with econometric models. From the study’s findings, it may be inferred that overall consumption affects inflation, which can be seen from the Granger causality test that shows that this variable has a one-way causal relationship. The results of the same test also show that FDI has an effect on total consumption and conversely consumption has an effect on FDI. However, the poverty variable does not affect total consumption and vice versa, because according to the causality test, the variable obtains an insignificant probability value. However, the VECM results explain that poverty has an effect on total consumption, and that the effect of consumption on inflation is due to the larger t-statistic value and has a positive relationship. This implies that the rate of inflation will increase the lower the level of consumption. However, the Impulse Reason test shows that poverty has a negative trend, as does the FDI variable.

Publikacja powstała w związku z VII Seminarium Metodologii Pedagogiki Polskiego Towarzystwa Pedagogicznego, które odbyło się w czerwcu 2018 roku na Wydziale Nauk o Wychowaniu Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego. Jego tematem przewodnim uczyniliśmy krytykę metodologiczną, spostrzegając, że leży ona u podstaw praktyk społecznych zachodzących w środowisku nauki, a także reagując na powszechnie dostrzegany problem, jakim jest słabość czy wręcz zanik krytyki metodologicznej w praktyce życia naukowego. Pytanie – czym jest współcześnie pojmowana krytyka metodologiczna – stanowiło najogólniejsze zagadnienie, na którym zamierzaliśmy oprzeć szczegółowe rozważania i całość dyskusji. Zdawaliśmy sobie sprawę ze złożoności sformułowanego tematu, licząc się z tym, jak kontrowersyjny jest obecnie ogólny wizerunek nauk społecznych – wyobrażenie ich funkcji, społecznego zaangażowania – oraz jak problematyczny staje się status podstawowych kategorii określających właściwości krytycznego myślenia metodologicznego (m.in. rozumienie samej metodologii, praktyki nauki czy jej metody). W przypadku dyscyplin wiedzy traktujących  o wychowaniu – kształtowaniu ludzkiej praktyki – przeczuwane i dostrzegane wątpliwości miały i nadal mają szczególnie istotne znaczenie.

Authors: Azad Mandeep Singh , Chakraborty Dibyendu , Kour Kawardeep , Datta Sanjoy , Sharma Palak
Published: October 2024

Background: Poonch is the remotest district of Jammu, India located near to line of control with Pakistan. Poonchi chicken is the first native poultry breed of Jammu region which is being characterized and registered with National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources. Present study is the first study on genetic bottleneck assessment in Poonchi chicken population using recommended microsatellite markers. This study in Poonchi chicken would be of immense use in tracing evolutionary origin and formulating effective conservation strategies for genetic diversity within breeds. Methods: Blood samples were collected randomly from Poonch and Rajouri districts of Jammu for DNA extraction and analysis. Microsatellite markers selected for the analysis were ADL0268, MCW0206, MCW0081, ADL0278, MCW0069, MCW0248, MCW0111, MCW0222, MCW0016 and LEI0094. To evaluate the Poonchi chicken for mutation drift equilibrium, Bottleneck software was used. Infinite allele model (IAM), two phase model of mutation (TPM) and stepwise mutation model (SMM) tests were done. Mode shift test was also used as another method of qualitative test for allele frequency. Result: Total number of alleles observed were 72, with the total number alleles ranged from 6 to 9. The results of all three models (IAM, TPM, SMM) in Sign test depicted the heterozygosity was more in the expected number of loci in Poonchi chicken as 5.97 (P less than 0.05), 5.93 (P less than 0.05), 5.90 (P less than 0.05) respectively. Whereas for Wilcoxon rank test the IAM, TPM and SMM revealed significant values of (P less than 0.05) deviation indicating that all the loci deviate from mutation-drift equilibrium. Mode shift test graph obtained depicted a slight shift from normal L-shaped curve indicating recent bottleneck effect in Poonchi chicken. This might have resulted in the loss of number of effective alleles which suggests a need of planning and implementing an effective breeding policy in order to preserve and promote this native breed.

Authors: Orujov P. , Celik B. , Kekec A.I. , Sigirci B. Diren
Published: October 2024

Background: Bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common diseases in cats caused by an imbalance between the natural host defence mechanisms of the urinary tract and virulent bacteria. This study investigated the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of enterococci isolated from cats presenting urinary tract problems to veterinary clinics in Istanbul. Methods: 100 urine samples were collected from cats by cystocentesis and plated on blood agar. Isolates found catalase and oxidase negative plated on Enterococcocel agar. After incubation, the isolates formed black colonies were tested by PCR using E. faecium and E. faecalis-specific primers. Then the antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was determined. Result: Eight of the 100 isolates that formed black colonies on Enterococcosel agar were identified as Enterococcus spp. After PCR tests, six isolates were classified as E. faecalis, one isolate was classified as E. faecium and one isolate that did not form a band was classified as Enterococcus spp. As a result of the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method used to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates, most resistance was found to cephalothin (100%) and penicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin and tetracycline (87.5%). While vancomycin resistance was not observed in any isolate, the lowest resistance was to enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin (33.3%). Multiple antibiotic resistance was observed in all (100%) isolates. The presence of multi-resistant enterococci in cats represents a significant health threat. Bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing should always be performed in urinary tract infections to guide definitive diagnosis and treatment.

The impact of market microstructure in shaping corporate governance has been distinguished in several previous research. Market Microstructure becomes prominent factor in emerging markets. This study tested the effect of market microstructure, in the scheme of stock liquidity, on dividend payouts. This study has set focus mainly on the impact of stock liquidity on the corporate payout policy. Later, the researcher examined the interaction given to the stock liquidity factor with information transparency and agency problem properties since the researcher believed that transparency is linked to the and, subsequently, affecting the corporate agents. This research examined observations using quantitative research method, Tobit regression on 256 non-financial firms of the Indonesian capital market during 2010-2018. Stock liquidity significantly impacted dividend policy. The result showed robustness with other stock liquidity measures. This study found that information asymmetry and agency problems had a moderation effect on stock liquidity effect on dividend payout. However, the interaction of stock liquidity and disparity of control rights and cash flow rights did not give a moderation effect on the dividend payout policy. The result supports the notion that dividend payout is an outcome of firm good governance and an inverse of dividend signaling theory.

The establishment of halal-labeled restaurants that offer a diverse range of food and beverages is in line with the growing awareness of halal certification. However, the importance of halal certification was not fully known by the public. This study aimed to investigate the potential influence of knowledge, attitude, and religiosity on consumers' purchase interest in halal restaurants in West Java. In addition, certain eateries emphasize the natural and cultural aspects of the region. The varied traditional cuisine, business centers, and the presence of Muslim communities make West Java an attractive destination for those seeking a religiously oriented and convenient dining experience. This study used primary data collected from 100 respondents through a questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. The study utilized purposive sampling, a type of non-probability sampling, and employed multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS version 29 for data analysis, the study was conducted in 3 stages, namely t-test, f-test, and coefficient of determination test. The findings indicate that attitude and religiosity factors influence consumer purchase intention at the halal restaurant. Conversely, knowledge was not proven to significantly affect public purchase intention at the halal restaurant in this study. This research has significant implications for halal restaurant owners. Halal restaurant owners in West Java can better understand the needs and preferences of Muslim consumers, strengthen their market position, and promote the growth of the halal industry in the region.

Background/Objective: In-vivo diabetes detection of glucose were sought using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SW), with bismuth-immobilized carbon nanotube paste electrode (BCE). Methods: The optimum analytical results indicated sensitive peak signals on the BCE. The raw voltammogram was approached within the 1 mgL-1-14 mgL-1 and 10 ugL-1-140 ugL-1, detection limits with preconcentration times of 100 and 200 sec. Results: The relative standard deviation was 0.02 % (n = 15) of 10.0 mgL-1 under optimum conditions. The analytical detection limit (S/N) was attained at 8 ugL-1. The handmade microsensor was directly used in vivo on the living fish brain and human urine.Conclusion: The method was applied at real time in vivo, without requiring any pretreatment and other ionic electrolyte solutions. It can be used for medicinal and other materials requiring biological-fluid detection in real time. This study was designed to be suitable for real-time unmanned remote diagnosis and therapeutic drug injection into the body, micro-needle long-term administration, wearable artificial skin tattoo sensor, and real-time control. In addition, the glasses monitor was designed to be suitable for multitasking and multi-user control.
Odontogenic Infections, Opportunistic Prevotella, and Metronidazole

Published: October 2024

Treating odontogenic infections of the head, neck and oral cavity requires the understanding of surgical and pharmacotherapeutic interventions as they apply to single and multispace infections. Three clinical cases are presented where Prevotella species were significant opportunistic pathogens. Since Prevotella can become virulent under conditions including post-extraction wound healing of an extraction site adjacent to an intact dentition, excessive plaque and calculus, nearby gingivitis or periodontitis, or an immunocompromised host, Metronidazole administration was deemed necessary in the cases described here. This intervention mitigated or resolved these odontogenic infections that were refractory to conservative surgical therapy that included source control. The involvement of Prevotella in odontogenic infections and pericoronitis, and the antibiotics used to treat common oral and maxillofacial infections with this bacterium are reviewed. Prevotella is susceptible to Metronidazole (Flagyl), and the antibiotic is effective in mitigating the disease process when basic principles of the treatment of odontogenic infections are employed.

Background and Objectives: Multiple primary malignant tumors represent a small percentage of the total number of oncological cases and can involve either metachronous or synchronous development and represent challenges in diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning. Our purpose is to present a rare case of bladder adenocarcinoma in a female patient with multiple primary malignant tumors and to provide systematic review of the available literature. Materials and Methods:A 67-year-old female patient who was admitted altered general condition, and anuria. The past medical history of the patient included malignant melanoma (2014), cervical cancer (2017), colon cancer (2021), obstructive anuria (2023), liver metastasectomy (2023). Transurethral resection of bladder tumor was performed for bladder tumors. Results: Contrast CT highlighted multiple pulmonary metastases, a poly nodular liver con-glomerate, retroperitoneal lymph node, II/III grade left ureterohydronephrosis, and no digestive tract tumor masses. The pathological result of the bladder resection showed an infiltrative adenocarcinoma. Conclusions: The difference between primary bladder adenocarcinoma tumor and metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma is the key for the future therapeutic strategy. Identification and assessment of risk factors such as viral infection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, smoking, genetics are pivotal in understanding and managing multiple primary malignant tumors. Personalized prevention strategies, screening programs may facilitate the early detection of this tumors, synchronous or metachronous one. The use of multicancer early detection (MCED) blood tests for early diagnosis appears promising. However, additional research is needed to standardize these techniques for cancer detection.
