Authors: Nurhayati Dewi Ratna , Mustaqim Doni
Published: October 2023

Rice is a food crop that produces staple food for the majority of the Indonesian population, one of which is in Klaten Regency. Almost all areas in Klaten Regency are planted with rice so that it becomes a food barn. However, this did not last long because the population growth rate and demand for black rice during the Covid-19 pandemic increased. In meeting the demand for white rice, especially fragrant mentik, there are still many obstacles, one of the obstacles is the land in Klaten Regency. The high cost of fertilizer, the level of consumer preference for consuming organic rice and the use of organic materials that are often found in society. To overcome this, the BUSISRI system cultivation (Unisri System Cultivation) is carried out using a method using liquid organic fertilizer. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of applying liquid organic fertilizer on mentik rice yields.The research was carried out from March to September 2023 in Dukuh Macanan, Jogosetran Village, Jogosetran Village, Kali Kotes District, Klaten Regency. This research is a type of single factor research with a Complete Randomized Block Design consisting of a single factor and will use 6 treatments and 4 replications. Data were analyzed using the F test at 5% level to determine the effect of treatment on variables. Observations continued with a DMR test at 5% level To compare the average between treatment combinations, the results of treatment with inorganic fertilizer (P1) were obtained for the highest plant height parameter, namely with an average of 58.20 cm. Treatment with inorganic fertilizer (P1) showed that the number of clump seedlings was greater, namely with an average of 13.30 stems, the inorganic fertilizer treatment (P1) showed the highest number of productive panicles with an average of 11.1 panicles, and showed a very significant difference from the treatment using Organic POC UREA (P5) and without treatment (P0) .

Published: October 2023

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract and most common malignancy of the small intestine. Although the exact prevalence of GIST is not known, GIST was recognized as tumor it's arise from interstitial cells of Cajal. Most of the GISTs driven by a KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) mutation. Histologically, GISTs look like spindle cell tumors most of the time, but they can be epitheoid or mixed type. Clinically, patients with small GISTs remain asymptomatic. In another case, patients with larger GISTs present with various symptoms depending on the location of the GISTs. Most of GISTs are located in the stomach or small bowel. But, they can involve almost any segment of the gastrointestinal tract from distal esophagus to anus. Diagnosis is suspected on imaging and endoscopic studies, and confirmed by tissue acquisition with immunohistochemical staining. The various endoscopic modalities of resection are increasingly tried. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice. In management of larger GISTs, tyrosine kinase inhibitors are extremly useful. Treatment options for metastatic GISTs also include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hepatic artery embolization, chemoembolization, and radiofrequency ablation.

"Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) are officially recognised by the Indian Constitution and given a separate status and protection, distinct from groups officially designated as minorities. Although the Constitution classifies SCs and STs in its Articles 341 and 342 and provides for special policies in the form of affirmative action/reservations for these categories in higher education, employment and political representation through its Articles 330, 332 and 334. The list of SCs and STs in each individual state varies across India and is also reflected in the recognition of tribes and castes designated as ‘poor’."
Alleviating Poverty for Empowerment of Scheduled tribes in India: Issues and Challenges
Authors: S Ravikumar,
Published: October 2023

"This paper discusses poverty alleviation for the Empowerment of Scheduled Tribes in India. Poor education, health, and poverty are grave challenges for their development. The various policies and programmes of the governments towards reducing poverty have not resulted satisfactorily. Currently, tribal people continue to be poor, and malnourished in India. Hence this study is attempted. This paper is based on secondary sources like volumes, articles, journals, and e- sources. The study reveals that the poverty ratio of STs is narrowing down in both rural and urban areas, but as compared it to the general population there is a widening gap. Hence to minimize this gap, Government should implement effective Poverty Alleviation Schemes at the grassroots and the NGOs should come forward to create awareness about Poverty Alleviation and employment creation schemes for the Empowerment of Scheduled Tribes in India."

"Corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) refers to the voluntary action of a company to disclose all about the sustainable development not only in financial performance but also related to the social and environmental performance that comply with the legal requirements. Thus, the purpose of this study is to assess the level of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure of 43 construction companies listed in Bursa Malaysia and to examine the relationship of certain determinants; namely, the size of company, profitability and leverage on the total CSR disclosed from the year 2017 to 2018. Content analysis based on total number of sentences is deployed to measure the CSR disclosure. A checklist consisting of 34 items was developed based on four categories: marketplace, workplace, environment and community. The data on CSR disclosure was gathered from annual reports while the determinants’ data were collected from Thomson Reuter’s data stream. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 on a sample of 43 Malaysia construction companies. Results indicate that the size of company and leverage were found to be positively associated with CSR disclosure. The profitability variable was found to be of no association with CSR disclosure. The findings of this study would benefit the companies, relevant authorities, policy makers and stakeholders in CSR practices."

Authors: Hasnan Suhaily
Published: October 2023

"Cybersecurity threats have successfully targeted financial institutions worldwide due to the increased connectivity of seamless and borderless financial services. Considering that criminals have employed more sophisticated methods to exploit the financial industry, financial institutions must adopt an integrated framework to counter the attacks and protect financial infrastructure from exploitation. The study examined cybersecurity governance by extending the Integrated System Theory (IST), including information technology (IT) governance and risk management (RM) governance. Questionnaires were distributed to Malaysian financial institutions through corporate social media platforms, email, and Google Form in November 2021. The questionnaire used a five-point Likert scale and comprised Section A which focused on the respondents’ demographic profile, while Section B emphasised the research construction. A total of 128 respondents participated within four weeks. Data obtained from the questionnaire was analysed for descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses. Resultantly, IT governance and RM governance significantly and positively impacted cybersecurity governance. The study provides better insights to the practitioners, academicians, or researchers to identify which factors to be considered and emphasise before developing an integrated cybersecurity governance framework."
The Policy of Forming a Socially Responsible business: Strategies and Opportunities for Implementation
Authors: Yefimenko Liudmyla
Published: October 2023

"The article represents a study of the objective foundations and specific forms of implementation of the social responsibility of business, associated with the need to determine the fundamental reasons for its functioning and development trends in the world community. The country (world region)-based analysis concludes that there are significant conceptual differences in the models of state participation in the formation and implementation of business efforts in the framework of socially responsible behavior. At the same time, the “unifying” role of voluntary CSR standards set out in the documents of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is shown, which are intended for use by organizations regardless of size, industry, and location reporting prepared in accordance with these standards determines a positive image of companies in the eyes of both government regulators and consumers and investors, and is a kind of tool for companies to compete, including on an international scale."
Economic Development of Countries and Formation of International business Relations under the Influence of Globalization
Authors: Nebozhenko Tetyana
Published: October 2023

"The impact of globalization extends to various aspects of a country’s development, including its economic, social, political, and technological dimensions. In turn, these dimensions play a crucial role in shaping the potential for economic growth. This article aims to evaluate the interdependencies among globalization, economic growth, and international business relations. The research methodology employed in this study involves a statistical analysis of regional economic growth, focusing on the dynamics of GDP, trade indicators spanning the years 2000 to 2022, as well as the economic dimensions of the KOFGI Globalization Index, specifically trade and financial aspects. The findings of this study underscore the intricate nature of the interconnections and dependencies existing between globalization, economic growth, and international business relations. These interconnections are intricately linked to the exchange of technologies, knowledge, investments, and the rapid advancements observed in information and communication technology (ICT). The complex nature of these interconnections has a direct impact on the pace of economic growth and shapes the strategic policies pursued by countries in their pursuit of strengthened cooperation and the identification of new collaborative partners, thereby synergizing national resources. While the period from 2000 to 2015 witnessed notable integration processes, the subsequent years from 2016 to 2020 were marked by global processes of de-globalization. This reorganization stemmed from a decline in the dynamics of industrial production and was further exacerbated by trade conflicts between major players such as the United States and China. However, a shift has been observed in the years 2021-2022, where the share of exports and imports of goods and services is projected to experience dynamic growth. In addition to the observed decline in globalization, there has been a notable deceleration in economic growth from 2016 to 2020. The presence of imbalances in international economic relations, particularly in terms of exports and imports, has contributed to disparities in globalization dimensions across various regions. North America is characterized by a dominant presence of de jure economic globalization, encompassing both trade-related aspects and de facto and de jure financial globalization. On the other hand, Europe and Central Asia exhibit a prevailing influence of de jure economic globalization, primarily in terms of trade, along with de facto financial globalization. Generally, from 2010 to 2020, there has been an upward trend in the level of de jure globalization. However, the level of de facto trade globalization has experienced a decline during this period. Meanwhile, the level of de facto financial globalization has continued to grow."

The Essence of the Development of Social Investment Projects for the Economy
Authors: Tiurina Alona
Published: October 2023

"The article presents a compelling argument that in the context of contemporary conditions, investments encompass the allocation of capital (in the form of values and resources) into various social and economic activities, provided that such activities comply with pertinent laws and legislative acts. These investments are made to generate economic benefits or produce positive social and environmental impacts. The author astutely observes that investments encompass a broader scope than solely capital investments, as they can pertain to both tangible and intangible assets (real investments) as well as financial instruments such as shares, bonds, and other securities. Capital investments, on the other hand, typically involve the allocation of funds. Notably, investments diverge from capital expenditures in terms of their investment objects. Capital investments align with investments in fixed assets, constituting a subset of capital-forming investments. It is important to recognize that the investment process encompasses more stages than that of capital investments alone. Moreover, the inclusion of procedures related to the accumulation of funds through the issuance of shares, bonds, and securities further enhances the scope of investment considerations. Additionally, the process of distributing income among investors can be regarded as an additional aspect to be addressed. It is crucial to recognize that all the aforementioned points, parameters, and procedures necessitate the establishment of new relationships in administrative, organizational, legal, and psychological contexts. Therefore, studying these relationships within market conditions and on a novel socio-economic foundation emerges as a paramount objective for national science. to facilitate the development of investment programs."

Authors: Кorneev Volodymyr
Published: October 2023

"The banking sector plays a crucial role in the modern economy and serves as a significant catalyst for its development and stability. A well-functioning banking system is essential to ensure the effective functioning of other sectors of the economy, including support for businesses, households, and investors. However, the banking sector’s substantial importance and significance also make it particularly sensitive to various risks and uncertainties. First and foremost, financial instability in the banking sector can impact the overall economy. It can lead to downturns and crises. Such events emphasize the importance of studying and analyzing the risks associated with banking activities and developing effective mechanisms for their management. This article aims to investigate the stability of the banking sector and its interrelation with economic development. The authors analyzed the banking system’s key risks, such as credit, liquidity, market, and operational risks. In addition, they examined the impact of such factors as macroeconomic changes, regulatory measures, and innovations on the financial stability of banks. Furthermore, the effectiveness of different tools and methods to reduce the risks and ensure the banking sector’s stability is considered. The studies aim to increase the scientific understanding of the issues mentioned above and provide practical recommendations for making reasonable decisions in the sphere of banking policy. The research findings will be helpful for scholars, economists, financial institutions, regulators, and all stakeholders working in the field of financial stability and economic development."
Gender Wage Gap in Indian labour Market and Role of Government Policies: A Theoretical Perspective with an Empirical Overhaul
Authors: Chatterjee Nilendu
Published: October 2023

"The long-lasting practice of wage gap against female labour forces in the Indian labour market has been dealt with in this paper by the help of building up a general equilibrium framework along with capturing the issue by econometric analysis. It is the women labour force associated with informal sector as casual labour who suffer the most from this problem. The recent statistics even show a falling trend of female labour force participation in these sectors also. Our study traces through the causes behind such wage discrimination and the possible ways of coming out of it. We have found that investment in female human capital development actually helps women to forego present employment opportunities in low-skilled, low-wage sectors, rather encourages the to be more productive and efficient by means of more human capital and enter the labour market in future with no such wage discrimination, in practice. Such trends, observed in India actually glorifies the success of several Government Policies, such as “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao”, implemented for female human capital development. Falling trend of female labour force in informal economy is actually enabling them to enter the formal economy at par with their male counterparts. Our theoretical findings have been supported by our econometric analysis based on the application of Oaxaca-Blinder model and PLFS unit level data of 2021-22. It suggests the higher women are educated as well as skilled, the lower is wage gap they face and more equal is the pay-structure even in the informal economy. Hence, it is the success of government policies directed for development of human capital in women that we have started to observe. The study strongly recommends implementation of many more such women-centric programme that would strengthen the women socially as well as ensure equality for them at the workplaces."
Agricultural trade Performance: A Case Study of Indian Oilseeds
Authors: Singh Vaishnavi
Published: October 2023

"A country’s comparative advantage in world trade may be affected by differential rates of change in production, factor accumulation or by other countries’ increased trade integration. The study of trade balance of agriculture sector would reveal that export always outstripped import, but what is distressing for agriculture import was that one commodity accounted for large proportion in import that commodity was edible oils. The export of any commodity in large quantities do not necessarily indicate that nation is competitive in the world market. The present study is an attempt to study the growth trend, variability, and the comparative advantage of major oilseeds export from India using revealed comparative advantage, trade specification coefficient, revealed symmetric comparative advantages and revealed competitive advantage indices. Growth trend analysis for export and import values indicates that, with the exception of export quantity of oilseed nes and import quantity and value of linseed, all showed a positive trend with high inter-annual variability over the period of the study. Following the TSC analysis, the value of export exceeded the value of import for all oilseed crops except linseed, and certain years of fluctuation were observed in the case of oilseed nes over the period of the study. The analysis of competitiveness of oilseeds export showed a favourable competitive scenario except in the case of linseed where in early 2000’s India was inefficient in export and for oilseed nes competitive advantage indices showed negative values for some years revealing lack of export competitiveness."

"The present study was carried out in Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir State during the year 2017-2019. In this study, three forest ranges namely; Basantgarh, Dudu and Bani ranges were selected purposively because maximum Non Timber Forest Product (NTFP) activities were being carried under these ranges. From each forest range 50 NTFP collectors were selected through snowball sampling technique. In this way total sample of 150 collectors were selected as ultimate sampling units. And in comparison to this a matching sample of 150 non- collectors were also selected through random sampling procedure. The data was collected through personal interview with the help of interview schedule. The findings of this study reveal problems faced by the respondents in collection and marketing of NTFPs, lack of markets for NTFPs was the main constraint ranked first by the collectors in the study area followed by no proper weighting of material, harmful wild weeds and attack of wild animals. To overcome the challenges they have faced during collection and marketing of NTFPs, majority of the collectors (90%) suggested that training programme should be organized for skill development and processing units in villages, followed by license for collection (86.67%), proper market channels (83.33%) and the government should set the selling prices for various NTFPs (70%)."
Peculiarities of plant growth, development, and chemical composition of the Paulownia biomass
Authors: Humentyk M. Ya. , Bordus O. Yu.
Published: October 2023

Purpose. To establish the peculiarities of plant growth, development, and chemical composition of the paulownia biomass of two species in the Right Bank Forest Steppe of Ukraine.
Methods. Field, laboratory, measuring and weighing, mathematical and statistical.
Results. The biological properties of two Paulownia species, namely Clone in vitro-112 and Paulownia tomentosa, were studied. The maximum number of leaves per plant at the end of the vegetation season was 24–26 in Clone in vitro-112 and 22–24 in Paulownia tomentosa. Leaf area per plant was 5.0–5.5 m2 and 4.0–4.5 m2, respectively. The main period of wood accumulation falls during the first three years of vegetation, and during this period, biomass productivity indicators are the highest. Five-year wood yield per tree was about 0.35 m3 in Clone in vitro-112 and 0.24 m3 in Paulownia tomentosa. The research determined the optimal content of nutrients, the lack or excess of which negatively affects biomass quality. Nitrogen is mostly concentrated in leaves (2.3–2.6%) and petioles (0.67–1.1%). The content of phosphorus was quite low: 0.33–0.36% in leaves and 0.22–0.23% in petioles. Plants contain a significant amount of potassium in the leaves: 1.25% in Clone in vitro-112 and 0.75% in Paulownia tomentosa.
Conclusions. Clone in vitro-112 can be recommended for cultivation in the Right Bank Forest Steppe Zone of Ukraine. One hectare can produce 200–250 m3 of industrial wood and the same amount of branch biomass for 5–6 years. Branches are suitable for the production of fuel pellets and chips with low ash content (0.8–1.5%). At the same time, leaves and petioles of paulownia have an increased ash content (3.9–7.1%) due to the higher content of nutrients, in particular nitrogen. Therefore, it is not advisable to use them as feedstock for the production of solid biofuel, but they are suitable for the production of biogas.

Authors: Balogun Afolabi , Oloja-Ojabo Ene Debra
Published: October 2023

Poverty has been an important issue of discussion in underdeveloped countries and has been of crucial concern to many stakeholders across the globe. This article examines the extent to which renewable energy consumption and public capital expenditure impact the poverty rate in Nigeria over the period 2003 - 2019. We employed cointegration and Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds model for our analysis. Our results revealed that renewable energy consumption significantly escalates poverty in the short run. Public capital expenditure, economic growth, and governance quality substantially reduce Nigeria's poverty. The long-run analysis reveals that renewable energy consumption significantly elevates Nigeria's poverty rate in the long run. Moreso, economic growth and quality of governance reduce the poverty rate substantially, whereas public capital expenditure does not significantly reduce the poverty rate in Nigeria in the long run. The Nigerian government was recommended to adopt modern renewable sources through a public-private partnership and promote good governance, especially in the efficient and appropriate implementation of public capital expenditures.

Many farmers and fishermen from the north coast of Java Island (Pantura) migrated to the south coast of Java to try their luck as fishermen in the Cilacap Ocean Fisheries Port (PPSC). The urbanization of Pantura residents to Cilacap has been ongoing for more than 50 years. This study aims to determine the contribution of Pantura residents to the capture fisheries sector in the PPSC. Data were collected through observation, interviews, surveys, and documentation. Data analysis used descriptive analysis with reduction and interpretation as well as ANOVA and simple linear regression analysis. Based on the survey results, 90% of respondents stated that the reason for Pantura residents to migrate to Cilacap was to increase their income. According to 93.3% of respondents, their arrival at PPSC contributed to the capture fisheries sector in the Cilacap Regency. The results of the ANOVA test show a significance of <0.05, which means that there is an influence from the arrival of Pantura residents in increasing capture fishery production in PPSC. The correlation between the arrival of Pantura residents in PPSC and the increase in capture fishery productivity was 43.5%, with an influence level of 18.9%. Thus, the role of Pantura residents is very important in increasing capture fishery production in Cilacap.

Authors: Gomes de Carvalho Clecilene , Gomes Pessoa Almeida Shirley
Published: October 2023

A circulação extracorpórea (CEC) é o método que dá suporte à cirurgia cardíaca substituindo temporariamente as funções do coração e dos pulmões. Contudo, apesar de ser considerado um padrão ouro, alguns pesquisadores vêm questionando seu uso, devido aos seus efeitos deletérios. Por isso, considerando que as doenças cardiovasculares permanecem entre as maiores causas de mortalidade e incapacidade do mundo, sendo, portanto, um problema de saúde publica, o objetivo deste trabalho será investigar o processo histórico evolutivo da circulação extracorpórea (CEC) no mundo, no Brasil, bem como a dos oxigenadores e as complicações descritas na literatura em relação à CEC; ressaltando os pontos mais importantes. Assim, concluiu-se com este trabalho de revisão integrativa, que as cirurgias de revascularização do miocárdio com o uso da CEC, apesar dos vários efeitos deletérios, ainda é a mais utilizada. Considerou-se que as cirurgias de revascularização do miocárdio sem utilização da CEC exigem, além do conhecimento científico, uma grande habilidade do cirurgião e necessidade que esta nova técnica seja testada por ensaios clínicos randomizados, sendo esta a sugestão da maioria dos autores pesquisados.

A gestação é um momento de grandes transformações na vida da mulher, iniciam-se mudanças internas e externas em sua saúde e também no seu cotidiano. A atenção odontológica é importante, pois as alterações hormonais e fisiológicas decorrentes da gravidez e o aumento no consumo de alimentos ricos em carboidratos e a escovação dental, muitas vezes deficiente, podem predispor ou agravar doenças bucais. Desta forma, o pré-natal odontológico visa oferecer cuidados contínuos educativos, preventivos e de promoção de saúde, para a mãe e o bebê. Portanto, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura, analisando impacto das doenças bucais durante a gestação na saúde geral da mãe e do bebê, bem como a importância do pré-natal odontológico. Essa pesquisa consistiu em um estudo bibliográfico de caráter descritivo-explicativo, com abordagem integrativa e análise qualitativa. A pesquisa foi feita a partir dos dados coletados nas plataformas Pubmed/MEDLINE, BVS e SciELO, selecionando estudos publicados entre o período de 2019 a 2022, sendo selecionados, dessa forma, quatorze artigos sobre o assunto. O pré-natal odontológico leva a resultados positivos para a saúde da mãe e da criança, com orientações sobre a importância do aleitamento materno, hábitos alimentares saudáveis e de saúde bucal, além da prevenção e tratamento de doenças bucais que podem ser prejudiciais durante a gestação.

Introduction: Exploring endophytic fungi isolated from medicinal herbs could be a turning point in the research of secondary metabolites biosynthesis, as these endophytic fungi are capable of synthesizing the similar compounds as their host plant. The advantages of manipulating endophytic fungi for bioactive compound production are the reduction of dependency rate on slow-growing and rare plants, cost-effective,
continuous process, environmentally friendly and high yield in a short period. Thus, the current study envisages investigating the influence of culture conditions against the anti-MRSA potential production of the endophytic fungal isolate, Ceratobasidium ramicola IBRLCM127 isolated from the local medicinal plant Curcuma mangga
Valeton & Zijp. Methods: The endophytic fungal isolate was used to produce fungal metabolites through submerged fermentation. The physical parameter improvement was investigated using the ‘one-factor-at-a-time’ technique. The fungal fermentative broth was subjected to an anti-MRSA assay using Lorian method, whereas the growth of a fungus was determined based on the cell growth weight. Results: The highest anti-MRSA potential of 42.50±0.1 U/ml and 5.49±0.1 g/L of mycelial growth was observed after improving the basal medium containing yeast extract sucrose broth incorporated with water extract from the host plant, 6 days old of inoculum age, 2 agar plugs of mycelia, incubation temperature of 25 0C and 12 days of cultivation 12 days of cultivation shaken at 120 rpm in the absence of light. Conclusion: The improved
culture conditions shorten the incubation period and yield a significant enhancement of anti-MRSA potential and fungal growth with 13.27% and 10.91%, respectively.

Introduction: HIV/AIDS is a worldwide health problem that has claimed a total of 36.7 million lives due to the HIV virus. In Indonesia, there are 30,935 cases of HIV and 7,185 cases of AIDS. HIV/AIDS can affect a person’s mental and psychological health. For example, the most common psychological problem faced by HIV/AIDS patients is depression. Depression experienced by HIV/AIDS patients is caused by the burden of life and social stigma. To overcome the psychological problems experienced by PLHIV, it is necessary to provide psychotherapy such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on changing a person’s mindset through their experiences so that they can move on with their lives. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of ACT on depression in PLHIV. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest design.
This study’s population consisted of all HIV/AIDS patients who were also depressed. The number of samples in this study is 33 PLWHA who had depression problems using a purposive sampling technique. The intervention given to treat depression in HIV/AIDS patients is ACT with 4 sessions, and the analysis of this study used a t-test. Results: The average depression score of respondents decreased from 38.73 before being given Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to 19.27 after being given ACT. Conclusion: There
was a significant difference in the average depression score between before and after being given ACT (t= 63,162 and p=0.000).

Introduction: Pneumonia is inflammation in the lung parenchyma. Inflammation occurs due to infection by various organisms like bacteria, viruses, and others. This infection eventually causes the emergence of several signs and symptoms. Ceftriaxone and cefotaxime are antibiotics that are commonly and effectively used in the treatment of pneumonia. Methods: The purpose of this study is to determine the total cost of pneumonia treatment provided during hospitalization at RSUD Bekasi City. This research
uses the method descriptive research with data retrieval retrospectively. The sample in this research totaled 68 patients, 34 patients used ceftriaxone antibiotics and 34 patients used cefotaxime antibiotics. Results: Cefotaxime antibiotic therapy is a more cost-effective therapy compared to Ceftriaxone. This study found the effectiveness of Ceftriaxone 88% and Cefotaxime 70% but did not reach 100% effectiveness due to the large number of patients whose length of stay (LOS) and respiration rate (RR) did not reach the target. The result showed that the average cost of treating patients with Ceftriaxone was Idr 2,171,651 and the average cost of treating patients with Cefotaxime was Idr 2,467,422. Conclusion: Ceftriaxone antibiotic therapy is a more cost-effective therapy compared to Cefotaxime which can be, seen from the ACER Ceftriaxone value of IRp. 24,677 and ICER value of Rp. -16,431.651 and the average cost of treating patients using Cefotaxime was Idr 2,467,422.
