In today's competitive marketplace, businesses face the ongoing challenge of fostering consumer loyalty to sustain their market presence and growth. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Product Quality and Product Innovation on Consumer Loyalty of Fizzul Putra Mandiri Convection in Jombang Regency. The study population consists of consumers from Fizzul Putra Mandiri Convection in Jombang Regency, specifically regular customers. This research employs a quantitative approach, with a fixed sample size of 85 regular consumers. Drawing from information provided by Fizzul Putra Mandiri Convection, the sampling method utilizes the saturated sample technique, encompassing the entire population as respondents. Data were collected through a questionnaire and processed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with SmartPLS 3 software. The results revealed that product quality had an insignificantly positive effect on consumer loyalty. This suggests that higher product quality is associated with increased consumer loyalty, though the effect is not statistically significant. In other words, a minor increase in product quality leads to a slight rise in consumer loyalty, and a slight decrease in product quality results in a slight decrease in consumer loyalty. Conversely, product innovation significantly and positively influences consumer loyalty, indicating that higher levels of product innovation led to higher consumer loyalty, while lower levels of product innovation result in lower consumer loyalty. Additionally, the study demonstrates a positive and significant correlation between product quality and product innovation. This suggests that higher product quality is linked to greater product innovation, whereas lower product quality is associated with reduced product innovation.

Authors: Ariapramuda Switcha Differentia , Mulyati Etty , Suwandono Agus
Published: November 2023

Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) have their characteristics. One of the characteristics as well as the weakness of MSEs is the lack of ability and technical skills of human resources in product processing. Empowerment to improve technical skills is carried out in the form of education and skills training following the guidelines set out in laws and regulations. However, these guidelines have not met the growing competency needs of the business world. The research method used is a normative juridical approach with a statutory approach. The results of the research obtained include technical education and skills by the government that cannot be implemented properly due to the inaccuracy of the Sumedang Cooperative, Small, Medium Enterprises, Industry and Trade Office in implementing the provisions of the guidelines of the Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises Regulation Number 18/PER/M/KUKM/IX/2015 accompanied by incomplete guidelines and incoherent explanations. The preparation of SKKNI production for micro and small enterprises in the processing industry sector as a form of legal protection needs to be done because there are still many MSEs in the processing industry sector that find it difficult to compete with large businesses in similar sectors due to the lack of ability and competence of MSEs in carrying out production because SKKNI has not been accommodated which is specialized and tailored for the interests of MSE production competence.

Doing a PhD in a Low-Income Country: Motivations and Prospects
Authors: Griffin Gabriele
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this article is to analyse the gendered motivations of students to undertake doctoral research in a low-income country (LIC), Mozambique. Most research on PhD student motivation is done in high-income countries where the drivers for doing a PhD are quite different from those of people living in LICs. Drawing on original empirical research in the form of semi-structured interviews with PhD students from Mozambique, and utilizing the concepts of 'altruistic' and 'self-concerned' motivations, this article argues that context is a powerful determinant of motivation. The findings of the research highlight the need for scholarships as a major driver for undertaking a PhD in an LIC. Further, PhD students' motivations, unlike those in high-income countries where the self is at the heart of decisions to do a PhD, include altruistic motives such as the desire to serve one's country, institution, community, and people as well as having a voice in the public sphere. These altruistic motivations are more important than the more self-referential factors such as 'intrinsic interest in the subject' and 'self-fulfillment' that dominate the literature from high-income countries. This implies that donor countries, the common suppliers of scholarships for PhD students in LICs, need to ensure that scholarships are adequate to enabling PhD students from LICs to complete their degrees both in terms of duration of scholarship and in terms of amount. Without this completion rates are likely to be slow and low. The article calls for more research on this issue in LICs.

Published: November 2023

Latar Belakang: Blok Tranversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) menjadi salah satu pilihan ketika ada kontraindikasi penggunaan morfin intratekal sebagai tatalaksana nyeri pasca seksio sesarea (SC). Konsentrasi anestesi lokal yang optimal untuk blok TAP hingga saat ini belum memiliki pedoman baku. Penelitian ini membandingkan pengaruh perbedaan konsentrasi levobupivakain isobarik 0,125% dan 0,25% pada blok TAP terhadap intensitas nyeri dan kadar beta endorfin dalam serum darah pasca SC.

Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik dengan desain eksperimental menggunakan rancangan acak tersamar ganda. Populasi penelitian adalah pasien gravida yang menjalani SC elektif dengan anestesi spinal, kemudian dibagi secara acak melalui komputer menjadi kelompok kontrol (levobupivakain isobarik 0,25%) dan kelompok perlakuan (levobupivakain isobarik 0,125%). Analgetik pasca bedah kedua kelompok diberikan dexketoprofen intravena dan paracetamol oral. Intensitas nyeri pasca bedah dinilai dengan numerical rating scale (NRS) pada jam ke-2, 4, 6, 8, 12 dan 24. Kadar beta endorfin dalam serum darah diperiksa sebelum dilakukan blok, jam ke 8 dan 24 pascablok TAP. Waktu pertama rescue analgetik dan total konsumsi opioid 24 jam pasca bedah dicatat.

Hasil: Tidak didapatkan perbedaan signifikan pada perbandingan nilai NRS pada jam ke-2, 4, 6, 8, 12 dan 24 antar kelompok (p>0,05). Perubahan kadar beta endorfin dalam serum darah tidak didapatkan perbedaan signifikan pada tiap waktu pengukuran per kelompok dan antar kelompok (p>0,05). Tidak didapatkan adanya rescue analgetik 24 jam pasca bedah.

Simpulan: Blok TAP menggunakan anestetik lokal levobupivakain isobarik 0,125% dan 0,25% pada pasien pascapembedahan SC memiliki intensitas nyeri dan perubahan kadar beta endorfin yang sama.

Authors: Dominikus Doni Ola  , Anselmus D. Atasoge
Published: November 2023

In essence, every religion wants its adherents to live peacefully in the midst of religious and cultural diversity. However, this hope does not always materialize in the construction of real life on Indonesian soil with the presence of inter-religious and inter-ethnic conflicts. Conflict experiences become endless lessons as an effort to maintain peace and harmony in religious life. A number of local praxis and initiatives were raised to untangle the tangled threads of inter-religious conflicts in Indonesia by prioritizing a balanced way of religious life that does not view others as opponents. This study of reciprocity in relation to religious moderation originates from the local context of Larantuka and draws its relevance to efforts to inculcate religious moderation in Indonesia. In a more specific context, the focus of this study is to describe the practical life of religious communities in the city of Larantuka, East Flores, East Nusa Tenggara which can be seen as the foundation and medium for grounding the ideals of religious moderation in Indonesia. The praxis of life in question is the reciprocity of young students in the city of Larantuka both within the school environment and among people who have different religious and ethnic backgrounds. Therefore, the basic question is how reciprocity among students in the city of Larantuka can become an inspiration and basis for efforts to instill religious moderation.

Published: November 2023

Biodiesel is an alternative to biofuel that could help to reduce the use of fossil fuels and protect the environment. Evaluation of reaction kinetics provides information on reaction rates and mechanism which is necessary in evaluating catalyst’s effectiveness. In this research, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures, nanoparticles, nanoflowers and nanotubes were base-modified with potassium to enhance their active sites and used in the transesterification process for study of kinetic parameters. The nanocatalysts were characterized with FESEM and biodiesel conversion monitored with 1H NMR. The result shows that both structure and base modification have influence on the kinetics parameters. In all the catalysts, activation energy falls within 26-82 kJmol-1indicating that the process was kinetically controlled and nanotubes has the highest rate constant of 0.0287 min-1, lowest activation energy of 59.40 kJmol-1and highest turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.026s-1. The results show that kinetic parameters of transesterification are not only defendant on catalysts’ basic or acid active sites but can also be influenced by structural modification. Therefore, the structural and K-modified ZnO nanoparticles have effect on the kinetic parameters of the tranesterification of rice bran oil (RBO) to biodiel and thus significantly reduce the use of fossil fuels in the environment

The review describes the history of the development of research on carbohydrasеs conducted at the Department of Chemical Enzymology from the mid-1970s to the present. The results concerning the study of the mechanism and kinetics of the processes of enzymatic conversion of cellulose and renewable plant raw materials under the action of a multi-enzyme cellulases complexes; the role of individual components of these complexes - basic (endoglucanases and cellobiohydrolases) and auxiliary enzymes (polysaccharide monooxygenase, β-glucosidase, xylanase) and their synergistic interaction. The features of using reactors of various designs for bioconversion of plant raw materials are described: periodic type, continuous column type, reactor for hydrolysis in a constant electric field, reactor with intensive mixing by ferromagnetic particles in magnetic field. The possibilities of increasing the reactivity of plant raw materials using various pretreatment methods, as well as the influence of the structural and physico-chemical properties of cellulose on the efficiency of its enzymatic conversion are discussed. Data on the creation of highly active strains of microscopic fungi-producers of cellulases and other carbohydrases using methods of induced mutagenesis - Trichoderma (Hypocrea), Penicillium (Talaromyces), Aspergillus, Chrysosporium (Myceliophtora) spp., as well as data on the composition of the enzyme complexes produced by them and the properties of the enzymes forming them are presented. It describes the creation of expression systems based on P. canescens and P. verruculosum and the production of recombinant producer strains with their help, which made it possible to obtain enzyme preparations (EP) that ensure high efficiency of bioconversion processes of plant raw materials, as well as to create producers of a wide range of carbohydrases for practical use in various fields of industry and agriculture. A number of industrially important EP obtained using the P. verruculosum expression system are currently being produced at the Agroferment LLC plant.

The human nociceptive system is a complex sensory system that encompasses the peripheral, spinal and supraspinalparts of the nervous system. The article presented here focuses on a critique of the serial model, which iscommonly used to discuss the nociceptive system. The serial model proposes a hierarchical structure, where informationis conducted from the nociceptor through the dorsal horns of the spinal cord to the higher areas of the centralnervous system. A disturbance of the system at one of its lower levels should result in disruption of the integrationof nociceptive information by higher neural centers. However, this model seems to obscure the actual principlesby which the nociceptive system processes information (Coghill, 2020) and is only vaguely reflected in the resultsof animal and human studies. The simplification of the nociceptive system – common in polish textbooks – maylead to a limited understanding of the mechanisms of pain sensation and the utilization of ineffective therapeuticinterventions. In this article, the nociceptive system is discussed in terms of recently proposed distributed (parallel)model. The nociceptive system should not be simplified. Its complexity argues for the use of complex and distributedtherapeutic approaches.

Ambroxol is a multifaceted drug with primarily mucoactive and secretolytic actions, along with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and local anaesthetic properties. It has a long history of use in the treatment of respiratory tract diseases and has shown to be efficacious in relieving sore throat. In more recent years, ambroxol has gained interest for its potential usefulness in treating neuropathic pain. Research into this area has been slow, despite clear preclinical evidence to support its primary analgesic mechanism of action—blockade of voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels in sensory neurons. Ambroxol is a commercially available inhibitor of Nav1.8, a crucial player in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain, and Nav1.7, a particularly exciting target for the treatment of chronic pain. In this review, we discuss the analgesic mechanisms of action of ambroxol, as well as proposed synergistic properties, followed by the preclinical and clinical results of its use in the treatment of persistent pain and neuropathic pain symptoms, including trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, and complex regional pain syndrome. With its well-established safety profile, extensive preclinical and clinical drug data, and early evidence of clinical effectiveness, ambroxol is an old drug worthy of further investigation for repurposing. As a patent-expired drug, a push is needed to progress the drug to clinical trials for neuropathic pain. We encourage the pharmaceutical industry to look at patented drug formulations and take an active role in bringing an optimized version for neuropathic pain to market.

Burnout or occupational exhaustion syndrome is a neuropsychological disorder resulting from chronic stress at work. Employees of private companies are highly exposed to this risk because of the overload of work in addition to the long daily working hours. We have therefore conducted a study whose aim is to assess the prevalence of burnout and its components, as well as to study socio-professional determinants among employees.We tested 102 employees aged between 22 and 60 years with an average age of 36.76 years 10.5 years. 77% were men and 24% were women. They were asked to complete freely and anonymously a general information sheet and the MBI questionnaire “Maslach Burn-out Inventory” in its French version with language adaptation. This consists of 22 items, evaluating three dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) and personal accomplishment (PA). A score was calculated and a rating in the degree of severity (low, moderate and high) was given for each of the dimensions, according to internationally accepted standards.The analysis of the results showed a high prevalence of burnout. Statistical analyses show that the rate of burnout in the age group over 40 equals 47.2% against 31.8% only among employees aged under 40. Similarly, the burnout rate among women is about the same as men (p=0.977). Emotional exhaustion (EE) is the most widespread component in exhausted subjects. It was found to be high for 14.7% of em- ployees; while depersonalization (DP) or high cynicism affects only 3.9% of subjects. Significant links between depersonalization and gender as well as professional seniority are obtained. Concerning the level of schooling, the rate of burnout decreases when the school level increases but without significance (p = 0.474). The rate of burnout is high among executing workers followed by senior managers. However, this link remains statistically insignificant. Concerning seniority, we note that the prevalence of burnout increases with professional seniority and even in the meaningless position. We also observe a higher rate of burnout among employees withcompany seniority of less than 10 years in addition to the oldest, but without any meaning.Professional exhaustion or burnout exists strongly in Moroccan compa- nies. In order to be able to adapt to the rapid development of the market and its increased demands, it is essential that business leaders prevent this pathology by improving the psychosocial work environment.

Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the effect of yoga-based exercises on functional capacity, dyspnea, quality of life, depression, anxiety, and sleep quality following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Patients and methods: Forty-one COVID-19-infected healthcare professionals (35 females, 6 males; mean age: 39.7±6.5 years; range, 28 to 55 years) who were actively working during the subacute period were included in the prospective controlled study between March 2021 and September 2021. The participants were divided into two groups: the yoga-based exercise group (YBEG; n=26) and the nonintervention group (n=15). Besides routine recommendations, the YBEG performed stretching, relaxation, isometric strengthening, breathing, and meditation exercises of 60 min twice a week for eight weeks. Clinical outcome was measured with flexibility tests (shoulder flexibility and sit and reach tests), hand grip strength, 6-min walk test, dyspnea score, Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventory, Short Form 36 (SF-36) quality of life, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) before and after eight weeks in both groups. Results: Beck anxiety scores, IPAQ scores, PSQI, SF-36 pain, and social functioning subparameters were positively statistically significant in the YBEG (p<0.05). The only parameter found to be insignificant in time and between groups was the SF-36 mental health subparameter (p>0.05). In addition, the YBEG had significant improvements in muscle strength, flexibility, functional capacity, physical activity level, quality of life, anxiety, depression levels, and sleep scores between before and after the eight-week intervention period (p<0.05). Conclusion: Yoga programs have led to an increase in functional capacity and physical performance, a decrease in anxiety and depression complaints, and an increase in the quality of life in healthcare professionals who were in the process of returning to work during the post-COVID-19.
