Authors:   harm. D Interns, Krishna Teja Pharmacy College, Tirupati, AP  2- Associate professor, Clinical Preceptor, Krishna Teja Pharmacy College, Tirupati, AP, Deekshith  R. Sai
Published: February 2025

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a significant concern in healthcare, arising at or near surgical incision sites. They can develop within 30 days post-surgery or within 90 days if a prosthetic material is implanted. Clinical manifestations of SSIs include local signs of inflammation (redness, warmth, swelling, and pus) and systemic signs (fever and leucocytosis). Risk factors such as age, chronic diseases (e.g., diabetes), smoking, and obesity contribute to the increased likelihood of SSIs. SSIs are classified into three categories: superficial, deep, and organ/space infections, each with varying severity and treatment requirements. Superficial SSIs are confined to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, while deep SSIs involve muscles and fascia. Organ/space SSIs affect internal organs and require more complex treatments. Effective antibiotic selection plays a crucial role in preventing and treating SSIs, with cefazolin being a first-line option due to its broad spectrum. Surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) aims to reduce microbial load and prevent infections through preemptive antibiotic administration, ideally minimizing resistance and adverse effects. Proper antibiotic use is vital to decrease the risk of SSIs and promote better patient outcomes. However, improper use can lead to antibiotic resistance and increased healthcare costs.

The Financial Inclusion in India - An Overview of Initiatives, Achievements and Challenges
Authors:   Krishna University Associate Professor, P.B. Siddhartha College of Arts and Science, Vijayawada, Lakshimi Velupuri Sai
Published: February 2025

By making trade, investment, and sustainable development possible, finance not only supports economic growth at the national level but also shapes societies. To ensure that all facets of society may take part in and profit from economic advancement, a robust financial system is necessary to promote inclusive and long- term economic growth in developing, underdeveloped, and even developed countries. One of the main forces behind equitable development is financial inclusion, which is the provision of timely, sufficient, and reasonably priced financial services to people and enterprises, especially underserved populations like low-income households and those without access to banking facilities. Financial inclusion increases financial stability, promotes entrepreneurship, and lessens socioeconomic inequalities by providing access to banking services, credit, insurance, and digital payment systems. In India, several programs, including the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), microfinance institutions, self-help groups (SHGs), and digital banking solutions, have been introduced to bridge the financial gap and bring underserved populations into the mainstream economy. Numerous legislative

actions, policy frameworks, and technology developments like mobile banking and the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which have greatly increased financial access support these initiatives. In addition to assessing the tactics used by Indian banks and financial institutions to improve accessibility, this study attempts to examine the significance of financial inclusion in fostering social and economic growth. This research offers important insights into the successes, difficulties, and future potential of financial inclusion as a catalyst for inclusive growth by examining the last few years' progress, evaluating the role of government policies, and utilising data from research journals, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reports, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) publications, and online resources. Along with demonstrating how fintech solutions and targeted financial policies can further boost economic participation, lower income inequality, and build a more robust financial ecosystem for sustainable development, the study also highlights the importance of data analytics and digital innovations in gauging the results of financial inclusion initiatives.

Published: February 2025

This research aims to analyze the influence of the Quick Ratio and Return on Assets on company size in the Pulp and Paper industry sector on the Indonesian Stock Exchange over a five-year period from 2017 to 2022. The study included 8 samples taken from 9 various groups of companies within the pulp and paper sub-sector listed on the IDX during the specified timeframe. The research utilized purposive sampling for data collection. The analysis involved classical assumption testing, coefficient of determination test (R²), multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing. The research results show that partially the Quick Ratio has no significant effect on Company Size. Meanwhile, Return on Assets has no significant effect on Company Size. After conducting the F test to analyze the third hypothesis, it was determined that the f value of 7.711 is greater than the f table of 3.209. Additionally, the significance value of 0.001 is less than the pre-determined alpha level of 0.05. This suggests that there is a significant impact of the independent variable on the dependent variable, namely the Quick Ratio and Return on Assets which together have an effect significant to Company Size. In this research, the Quick Ratio and Return on Asset variables can only explain 25.5% of company size according to the results of the coefficient of determination (R²) test, so the closeness of the dependent and independent variables is low. Meanwhile, the remaining 74.55% is influenced by other variables outside the model discussed in this research.

The escalating number of franchise outlets in the current business landscape has triggered fierce rivalry among business owners. An effective way to reach a company's objectives is by evaluating its financial performance. To assess a company's performance, one can compare its ratios with those of similar companies. This research focused on public franchise companies like PT Hero Supermarket Tbk and PT Midi Utama Indonesia Tbk to determine which firm excels in terms of financial performance. Qualitative data, comprising company profiles and financial reports from 2021-2023, was utilized in this study. Secondary data, such as financial reports from 2021-2023 acquired from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (www.idx.co.id), were analyzed. A quantitative analysis was conducted on the balance sheet and income statement of the two companies. Liquidity ratios (Quick Ratio, Current Ratio), solvency ratios (DAR, DER), and profitability ratios (Net Profit Margin, ROA, ROE) were utilized in the analysis. Results indicated that the liquidity ratios of both companies fluctuated due to an increase in liabilities, surpassing current assets. Solvency ratios exhibited fluctuations caused by rising total debt, assets, and equity. Profitability ratios witnessed a decline in net profit due to higher costs of goods sold incurred by the company.

Authors: Nugraheni Farida Cahyaning Ayu , Islami Fitrah Sari
Published: February 2025

Economic growth in Indonesia is shaped by the dynamics of international trade, especially through agricultural imports, foreign direct investment (FDI), and exchange rates. The main goal of this research is to explore how agricultural imports, foreign direct investment (FDI), and exchange rates have influenced economic growth in Indonesia from 1990 to 2020. Data from the years 1990 to 2020 was gathered for this study, focusing on variables such as economic development, sales of agricultural products abroad, purchases of agricultural products from other countries, foreign investment, and currency exchange values. The information was sourced from the World Bank. To evaluate the research hypothesis, an econometric model was constructed utilizing the Error Correction Model (ECM) technique, with calculations performed using E-Views version 10. The findings suggest that agricultural imports, FDI, and exchange rates have a lasting impact on Indonesia's economy, with agricultural commodity imports having a negative impact due to increased pressure on domestic agricultural products that struggle to compete with cheaper imported commodities. Investment and exchange rates have a negative and insignificant effect on economic growth in the short term. Therefore, government policies that limit agricultural imports and maintain exchange rate stability are crucial in supporting sustainable economic growth and protecting the domestic agricultural sector from the negative impacts of international trade.

The objective of this research is to examine how compensation and transformational leadership influence employees' intent to leave their jobs and how this affects their performance at PT Waskita Beton Precast Tbk. The research in this study utilizes a method of exploration with a numerical perspective to investigate how compensation and leadership impact turnover intention and performance among employees of PT Waskita Beton Precast Tbk. The information was gathered by distributing surveys to 240 participants chosen intentionally, and it was analyzed using SEM-PLS. Findings indicated that compensation and leadership have a moderate impact on employee productivity, with turnover intention playing a role as an intermediary, despite its limited effect on turnover intention and performance. On the employee performance variable, the R² value is 38.1%, which indicates that compensation and transformational leadership have a moderate influence on employee performance. For the turnover intention variable, the R² only reached 1.5%, which indicates a weak influence. The structural model used shows that turnover intentions act as a weak mediator of the effect of compensation and transformational leadership on employee performance. Further evaluation shows that the model has little GoF (Goodness of Fit), with a Q² value for employee performance of 20.5% and for turnover intentions of 0.4%, indicating that the model has limited predictive relevance.

This high percentage of potential leakage of trade secret information that has economic value from a company can occur either from parties within the company or from parties outside the company if there is no commitment to safeguard the information. The purpose of this writing is to analyze the regulations regarding non-disclosure agreements in trade secrets law and to examine the legal consequences of violations of these agreements. The benefit of this writing is to provide a juridical understanding of the regulation of non-disclosure agreements in efforts to protect trade secrets, as well as to offer scientific contributions in the dimension of legal science related to the regulation of non-disclosure agreements. This study is based on the vagueness of norms, utilizing a type of normative legal research through a legislative approach and analyzed using descriptive and argumentative techniques. The research results show that non-disclosure agreements are not specifically regulated but are generally addressed in trade secrets law. In terms of legal consequences arising from non-fulfillment of the agreement, there are criminal sanctions, including a maximum prison sentence of 2 years and/or a fine of Rp. 300,000,000, as well as civil sanctions in the form of compensation imposed on parties who harm the company. It would be better if non-disclosure agreements were explicitly regulated by law to strengthen their legal force and provide legal certainty for the parties involved in the agreement.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of investigators in handling cybercrime cases in the jurisdiction of West Jakarta Metro Police. The research method used is literature review and secondary data analysis from various reliable sources regarding the development of information technology and cybercrime in Indonesia. The research results show that Investigators in the Cybercrime Subunit of West Jakarta Metro Police have shown significant efforts in handling cybercrime cases, especially cyber fraud. They have utilized various investigation methods and techniques in accordance with the applicable laws in Indonesia, including the ITE Law and other related regulations. However, investigators face several challenges, including limited facilities and infrastructure such as inadequate computers and other devices. Budget constraints are also a major obstacle, especially in funding investigative operations outside Jakarta. In addition, poorly organized SOPs and lack of consistency in their implementation also hinder the effectiveness of investigations. This includes inconsistencies in delivering SP2HP in accordance with Perkap Number 14 of 2012. The implementation of information technology, such as Smart Policing and E-SP2HP programs, has helped improve personnel capacity and real-time reporting. However, further evaluation is needed to ensure the effectiveness and integration of this technology with the coordination of relevant institutions. Success in handling cybercrime also depends on cooperation among law enforcement agencies and increased training for cyber police officers. This includes establishing guidelines for handling cybercrime cases and adopting effective digital forensic methods.
