Published: June 2023

The Oleg Tamulilingan dance is a traditional Balinese dance with the theme of romance, which depicts the romance of male and female beetles, danced in pairs by a male and female dancer. Researchers have extensively discussed the popularity of the Oleg Tamulilingan Dance. But, no one has disclosed the Badung Style in Oleg Tamulilingan Dance has remained the primadonna of the Bali tourism industry. The question is: what is the structure of the Badung version of the Oleg Tamulilingan dance?; What is the origin of the Badung-style Oleg Tamulilingan dance?. This research was conducted using qualitative methods. The data sources for this study were: Oleg Tamulilingan with Badung Style Dance, dancers, musicians, dance teachers, artists, humanists, experts, and related communities who were selected based on purposive sampling and snowball techniques. All data that has been collected through observation, interviews, and literature studies was analyzed qualitatively. The results of the research show that the Badung Style in Oleg Tamulilingan Dance is performed in the form of a loose dance depicting a male and female beetle making out in a flower garden. This can be seen from the way it is presented, the makeup and clothing, as well as the musical accompaniment used. The structures used in the Oleg Tamulilingan with Badung Style performance are pepeson, pengawak, and pengecet. The emergence of the Badung Style in Oleg Tamulilingan dance was caused by internal and external factors. The internal factor of the Oleg Tamulilingan Dance is the talent of the first dancer, Gusti Ketut Raka Astuti, who teaches his students. The external factor is the development of tourism, which provides an opportunity for the development of the Badung Style in Oleg Tamulilingan Dance and has implications for the enrichment of the presentation model of the Oleg Tamulilingan Dance.

Indonesia, a populous country, exhibits a significant population size. As per data from the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia via the Dukcapil Directorate General, the largest generation in Indonesia comprises Gen Z and Millennials. These two generations display various behavioral differences compared to preceding generations, particularly in their travel habits. In order to attain the national tourism target, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) has designated Gen Z and Millennials as the primary target demographic. Tirtagangga Hot Spring Resort, currently undergoing rebranding efforts, aims to penetrate the Gen Z and Millennial market. Initial research suggests that Tirtagangga Hot Spring Resort faces challenges in attracting hotel guests from this new market. This study employs a quantitative approach, utilizing a questionnaire for customer analysis, and employs SMARTPLS for data processing and hypothesis testing. The research entails conducting interviews with 12 individuals, including business owners and their marketing department. The outcomes reveal a positive impact of Social Media Marketing on Brand Awareness and Brand Image, while Brand Awareness and Brand Image, in turn, positively influence Purchase Intention. Based on these findings, the authors propose several strategies to augment sales, leveraging the SWOT and TOWS tools encompassing both external and internal analyses. The recommended strategy revolves around diversifying promotional strategies that specifically target the hotel’s updated style and activities, aiming to captivate attention and generate interest. A key focus is placed on highlighting the hotel’s unique blend of modern aesthetics and hygienic surroundings. The promotional efforts should emphasize the newly adopted style of the hotel while concurrently advancing its renovation endeavors. This approach effectively showcases the hotel’s fresh aesthetic while preserving its renowned heritage. Additionally, the hotel should enhance its offerings by introducing supplementary activities and amenities, enriching the overall guest experience.

The reliability of financial statements is important to many people such as investors, corporate shareholders, and auditors. A reliable financial report is free from problems of fraud and manipulation by corporate management. Using the methodology and meta-analysis, the research team found that the application of the M-score model in Vietnam is not yet popular. The number of research papers on the M-score model is small and there is no research using this model to assess the reliability of financial statements. Research results with actual data from the unaudited financial statements of a typical enterprise show that the application of the M-score model to assess the reliability or detect fraud of financial statements is an appropriate fit. However, the research team also found that the M-score model also has a high probability of incorrect identification of unreliable financial statements. Therefore, from the research results, we recommend that investors, shareholders, and stakeholders use a combination of the M-score model together with other technical analysis tools to be able to identify whether a financial statement is reliable.

The aim of the study was to try to determine the influence of gender characteristics, age, and seniority on the intention to leave the business of insurance agents. Through the qualitative research method, the research team presented an overview and theoretical basis for the intention to leave the enterprise. There are many factors affecting the intention to leave that have been studied by other authors, so we focus on the less-mentioned content, which is the assessment of the difference in gender, age, and seniority intention to leave the business. With 240 agents participating in the survey, the research team obtained primary data for Independent T-Test and One-Way ANOVA analysis. The results of data analysis show that the factors of gender, age, and seniority have statistically significant differences and affect the intention to leave the business of insurance agents. This research result is also the basis for life insurance enterprises in Vietnam to have plans to improve their personnel retention policy.
Formação de nanocomplexos entre β-lactoglobulina e resveratrol: uma abordagem cinética e termodinâmica
Authors:   , Vale Rafaela Teixeira Rodrigues do
Published: June 2023

O estudo da cinética e da termodinâmica de interação intermolecular entre moléculas de origem alimentar fornece a dinâmica de formação de nanocomplexos, bem como, a compreensão das forças motrizes envolvidas neste processo. A β- lactoglobulina (βLG), proteína majoritária do soro de leite de muitos mamíferos, além de características nutricionais relevantes, apresenta capacidade de se ligar a pequenos compostos bioativos hidrofóbicos como o resveratrol (RES) e de formar nanocomplexos de βLG-RES. No entanto, embora alguns estudos tratem da interação entre estas duas moléculas, há uma lacuna em relação a dinâmica de formação destes nanocomplexos. Em nosso trabalho, utilizando a técnica de ressonância plasmônica de superfície (SPR), determinamos os parâmetros cinéticos e termodinâmicos da interação βLG-RES. Os resultados mostraram que a formação do complexo ativado a partir da associação de moléculas livres é 1,5 vezes mais rápida do que a partir da dissociação do complexo termodinamicamente estável ‡ ‡ (𝛥𝐺 (𝑎) ≅ 48,15 kJ.mol -1 , 𝛥𝐺 (𝑑) ≅ 73,10 kJ.mol -1 ). Além disso, os parâmetros cinéticos de associação são influenciados pela estrutura 3D da água da camada de solvatação de ambas moléculas. Entretanto, os parâmetros cinéticos de dissociação não são influenciados pelas moléculas de água presentes ao redor do complexo termodinamicamente estável. Provavelmente, porque há poucas moléculas de água próxima/dentro do sítio de interação da proteína. Ademais, as moléculas de água que estão presentes, não estão estruturadas. Os valores negativos de ∆𝐺° (-24,95 KJ.mol -1 ) indicaram que, no equilíbrio químico, o complexo termodinamicamente estável predomina sobre as moléculas livres. Na menor temperatura (285,15K) avaliada, a formação do complexo βLG-RES foi impulsionada por interações hidrofóbica (∆H° = 73.06 kJ.mol -1 ; T∆S° = 99.60 kJ.mol -1 ) enquanto que em temperaturas maiores que 301,15K, as interações hidrofílicas tornaram-se dominantes (∆H° = -142,50 kJ.mol -1 ; T∆S° = -118,18 kJ.mol -1 ). Contudo, a partir destes resultados, apresentamos valiosas informações e insights para acompreensão da dinâmica molecular de formação de nanocomplexos βLG-RES e, das forças motrizes que impulsionam este processo.

Rompimento celular da microalga Tetradesmus obliquus e extração líquido-líquido de pigmentos e lipídios
Authors:   , Miranda Júnior José Roberto
Published: June 2023

As microalgas são microrganismos unicelulares capazes de armazenar e sintetizar grande quantidade de biomoléculas, tais como, proteínas, lipídios, ácidos graxos poliinsaturados, pigmentos e vitaminas, podem ser usadas nas indústrias de alimentos, rações, cosméticos, farmacêuticas e de biocombustíveis. Para a extração de biocompostos de microalgas é necessário a utilização adequada de técnicas de rompimento celular. A eficiência dos métodos de ruptura celular implica a liberação seletiva e eficiente dos compostos, atingindo uma alta recuperação do conteúdo intracelular de interesse. Visando a extração de biocompostos de Tetradesmus obliquus, esse trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre aplicação de técnicas de rompimento celular por meio de moagem, ultrasonicação e homogeneização de alta pressão. Para ruptura celular por moagem, foi proposto a otimização do processo por meio do controle das condições operacionais do moinho de bolas através de um delineamento composto central rotacional (DCCR). Foi estudado o efeito do tempo de moagem (Tm) e a massa (Mb) utilizada no volume útil do cilindro do equipamento. Para ultrasonicação, os parâmetros avaliados nos rompimentos foram a potência ultrassônica (Pu), o tempo de sonicação (Tu) e a concentração das biomassas (Cs) através de um delineamento fatorial de superfície de resposta pelo planejamento de Box e Behnken (DBB). Na homogeneização de alta pressão, os parâmetros de processo avaliados foram a pressão de trabalho (P), o número de passagens das suspensões pelo equipamento (Np) e as concentrações das suspensões (Cs). A otimização foi avaliada através de um delineamento fatorial de superfície de resposta pelo planejamento de Box e Behnken (DBB). As biomassas rompidas nas três condições foram utilizadas para a extração líquido- líquido de pigmentos e lipídios com os solventes etanol, dimetilsulfóxido (DMSO) e acetona. Para a moagem, extrato de pigmentos em acetona apresentou maior teor de clorofila-a (1.72g/100g) para (Tm= 46 min e Mb= 9.25 g) do que ultrasonicação e homogeneização. No processo de homogeneização, o maior conteúdo de clorofila-a (0.8g/100g) foi observado para extrato de pigmentos em acetona para (P=312 bar, Cs=1.5 e Np= 22). Ultrasonicação obteve maior conteúdo de clorofila-b (1.00g/100g) para (Pu=475W e Tu=13 min) para extrato de pigmentos em etanol e carotenoides totais (0.51g/100g) para (Pu=475 W e Tu=13 min) para extrato de pigmentos em acetona. Na quantificação lipídica os maiores teores quantificadosforam (5.18g/100g) para o processo de moagem, (4.04g/100g) para o processo de homogeneização e (3.56g/100g) para o processo de ultrasonicação. Em todas as técnicas de rompimento observou-se que o teor de pigmentos e lipídios aumentaram com o aumento dos parâmetros de processo para os ensaios realizados. Portanto, pode-se inferir que a quantificação desses biocompostos podem ser utilizadas como indicadores de rompimentos celular para microalgas. Palavras-chave: Microalgas. Ruptura. Otimização.

The advent of the female condom was hailed as an appropriate intervention measure against the spread of sexually transmitted infections and HIV. The female condom is an effective dual protective method viewed as a tool for woman’s empowerment, though the supply and uptake of this device are limited. This study determined and described the factors that have resulted in the low uptake of female condoms at Engela State Hospital among child- bearing age woman. A quantitative-descriptive research was used on the population of mothers utilizing health services at Engela clinic. Convenience sampling was used to select 52 respondents that participated in the study. Data was collected by means of questions and analysed by using Microsoft Excel 2016. The results showed that the factor leading to the low rate of female condom use was the absence of female condoms in hospitals and the community, rather than male condoms (80.8%) They are difficult to use (88.5%), married women are often powerless to request their partner to wear a condom (84.6%), women prefer the use of male condom than the female condom (88.5%), people are used to using male condom than the female condom (88.5%) and female condoms increase sexual pleasure (88.5%). It was concluded that in Engela State Hospital, a variety of factors influence the use of the Female Condom by women of reproductive age. Therefore, the Namibian government, through the Ministry of Health and Social Services, should implement intensive interventions such as the provision of Information Education and Communication materials and broad peer education. Moreover, The Namibian government, through the Ministry of Health, should study the findings of global research on the use of FCs and use these findings to build a strategic plan to guarantee that FCs are used effectively.

However, the application is relatively new in aeronautics, and products are already optimizing the skills and capabilities of the personnel who command it. This paper reviews the scientific literature on the advantages, disadvantages, and aspects to consider regarding the application of AI techniques in aeronautical processes ranging from construction, navigation, and security against attacks on communications and climate changes that may affect the navigation system. AI developments provide new advantages and challenges for navigation every day. On the one hand, these techniques support flight independence until achieving absolute autonomy. Still, on the other hand, they also incorporate specific vulnerabilities and concerns about the increased use of computer and digital communication media that are prone to attacks by malicious individuals or organizations.
Peculiarities of toxic effects produced by aluminum oxide nano- and microparticles under multiple inhalation exposure
Authors: Zemlyanova Marina A. , Zaitseva Nina V. , Stepankov Mark S.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. Aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs) are widely used in nanotechnologies employed in various branches including chemical, food, and medical industry and perfume and cosmetics production. This high demand for Al2O3 NPs, given the wide-scale development of nanoindustries, can, in its turn, lead to ambient air pollution that creates public health risks under long-term exposure to it. Given that, it seems relevant to perform profound investigation with its focus on pathogenetic features of toxic effects produced by these nanoparticles and comparatively analyze them with effects produced by a micro-sized chemical analog under inhalation exposure to introduce more effective prevention.

Materials and methods. We examined chemical properties of Al2O3, nano- and microparticles (MPs) in an experiment on Wistar rats, comparatively analyzed the results and described pathogenetic features of toxic effects produced by the examined particles under multiple inhalation exposure.

Results. The examined samples were a nanomaterial judging by such parameters as particle size, shape, surface area, and total pore volume. They differed substantially from their micro-sized analog. Exposure to Al2O3 NPs causes more pronounced changes in the behaviour of rats relative to MPs. Under exposure to Al2O3 NPs, aluminum concentrations were statistically significantly by 1.62–55.2 times higher in the lungs, liver, brain and blood. The concentration of the examined elements was by 1.55–7.65 times higher in these organs as compared to exposure to the micro-sized particles. Exposure to Al2O3 NPs induced changes in biochemical indicators of negative effects against the control (exposure to micro-sized particles). We established higher activity of ALT, AST, AP, LDH, and elevated levels of direct bilirubin, GABA, glutamine acid, and MDA against the same indicators in the control group. Pathomorphological changes were identified in the lungs, brain, heart, and liver under exposure to Al2O3 NPs whereas exposure to the micro-sized analog induced such changes only in the lungs. Exposure to NPs induced more apparent changes in tissue structures in many organs.

Limitations. The study involved only multiple inhalation exposure to Al2O3 NPs and MPs in an experiment on Wistar rats.

Conclusion. Al2O3 NPs are more toxic than their micro-sized chemical analog; this is evidenced by a greater number of organs where bioaccumulation occurs, more apparent pathomorphological changes and pathological functional disorders. The study results should be considered when developing hygienic recommendations aimed at preventing and minimizing negative effects produced by Al2O3 NPs on human health.

Published: June 2023

La innovación educativa es un tema que ha tomado mucha relevancia en la actualidad, las instituciones de educación superior no deben quedarse rezagadas en estos procesos, la responsabilidad social y educativa que tienen para la sociedad les demanda estar al día con todas las exigencias que imperan en la sociedad actual. El cambio debe verse desde los distintos elementos que implican el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje, los contenidos deben replantearse, así como, las metodologías o estrategias que utiliza el docente, y la evaluación educativa. Esos elementos tienen que favorecer el rol activo del estudiante, el aprendizaje significativo, el trabajo colaborativo y la autonomía, en aras de la excelencia académica. El docente debe cambiar su rol de mediador de todo el proceso educativo; esta mediación pedagógica implica ir más allá de ser solamente un emisor de información, respetando las formas en que aprenden cada estudiante y, de esta forma, logre reflexionar sobre su propio aprendizaje. En este artículo se presenta una descripción de cada uno de estos elementos del proceso enseñanza aprendizaje, así como la importancia de la innovación educativa en las universidades, y del rol que debe tener la organización en la promoción y motivación para potenciar toda la infraestructura en el desarrollo de procesos innovadores. Asimismo, este manuscrito finaliza con la visión que tiene la Universidad Técnica Nacional (UTN) sobre la innovación educativa plasmada en su Modelo Educativo, en donde básicamente la innovación educativa como un concepto polisémico y multidimensional, que permite la generación y replanteamiento de paradigmas, mediante la capacidad de utilizar o resignificar enfoques educativos, estrategias, materiales y recursos con la ayuda de métodos y formas de transferencia de nuevos saberes para mejorar los distintos procesos y entornos.

¿Será posible impartir un curso universitario sin utilizar una evaluación tradicional? Después de recibir las diversas capacitaciones en docencia de la UTN llegué a la conclusión que sí. Con esta convicción ingresé este año 2022 a mi clase de Seminario de Realidad Nacional II: Patrimonio Cultural. Me encontré con un grupo de aproximadamente 30 estudiantes de diversas carreras: Informática, Administración y otras. Cuando entré al aula, pude notar sus rostros serios, aburridos, sentados distantes, temerosos, con sus mascarillas, sobrevivientes de una pandemia, les di la bienvenida al curso, mencioné mi nombre, los saludé, y en ese momento comenzaron nuestras experiencias de aprendizaje. Les pedí que se levantaran de sus asientos, que dejaran sus cosas en los pupitres y que saliéramos del aula.

Shareholder or Investment Account Holder Interest: Which One Does Management of Islamic Banks Pay Attention to?
Authors: Mardian Sepky
Published: June 2023

Governance and performance studies are often viewed from the perspective of shareholders, including in Islamic banks. However, the Investment Account Holders (IAH) are equally important stakeholders. Profit-sharing contracts, the absence of representation in the Annual General Meeting, and larger fund amount place the IAH at greater risk. In reality, the impact of governance should also prioritize protecting their interests. This study examines the effect of implementing corporate governance on the performance of Islamic banks from the perspective of shareholders and IAHs. This study tabulates data from the annual reports of 14 Indonesian Islamic banks. This research has found that Islamic bank governance has no effect on performance from the perspective of IAHs. On the other hand, governance can significantly influence performance from a shareholder perspective. From the perspective of stakeholder theory, these findings explain that Islamic banks have not made IAHs the main party to pay attention to. Business policies and strategies that are overseen by corporate governance have not had an impact on wider stakeholders. The IAHs in Islamic banks should also be categorized as key stakeholders.

Published: June 2023

Determining the Covid-19 pandemic as a national non-natural disaster in Indonesia impacts all sectors, including the Islamic capital market. The covid-19 pandemic can send a negative signal to investors, it is expected to cause a decrease in stock prices, trading volume, and abnormal stock returns. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on price changes and Islamic stock returns of PT. Kalbe Farma, Tbk. The analysis technique used is the paired sample T test for normally distributed data and the Wilcoxon signed rank test for abnormally distributed data. The results of the study show that the price of sharia stocks in the health sector did not experience a significant difference either before or during the Covid-19 pandemic. Likewise, the statistical test results show that Islamic stock returns did not experience a significant difference before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, meaning that this variable did not react negatively to the Covid-19 pandemic. The implication of this research is that PT. Kalbe Farma, Tbk is expected to try to maintain stock price stability in order to maintain investor confidence and interest because a stable stock price value can increase stock returns.

The Islamic financial system is regarded as a financial system that bases its operations on the valuesof Islam. However, the practice of the Islamic financial industry has been criticized as it deviates fromthe theory. This paper aims to explore and analyze the ethical values of Islamic finance and theirimplementation in Indonesian Islamic commercial banks. The study employs a qualitative researchmethod with the literature study approach and assessment of the annual reports of 14 IndonesianIslamic commercial banks. The literature study explores and analyses Islamic values embedded withinthe Islamic financial system. In contrast, the exploration and assessment of Indonesian Islamiccommercial banks’ annual reports provide the study with the practical implementation of the values.The paper found that Indonesian Islamic commercial banks have contributed to facing the currentsocial and environmental issues through some initiatives in their CSR implementations. All IndonesianIslamic commercial banks have been actively participating in CSR programs. However, a number ofIslamic banks need to enhance their CSR practices to tackle the ongoing environmental issues.Therefore, the paper comes with some limitations and policy recommendations.

The Return on Asset (ROA) value of Islamic rural banks (BPRS) keeps decreasing during the Covid-19 pandemic, specifically from 2020 to 2021. The ROA value of Sharia Commercial Bank and Sharia Business Unit also decreased in 2020 but increased in 2021. During the pandemic, many financial institutions were in trouble, but BPRS was still able to survive in the midst of a crisis. This phenomenon attracted some scholars to study the factors that made BPRS survive during a pandemic. This study aims to analyze the effect of internal and external factors on Islamic rural banks’ profitability from the second quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2022. The sample used consisted of 134 Islamic rural banks with complete data to be analyzed. This study used panel data regression with ROA as the dependent variable. The result of regression shows that partially, FDR has a positive impact on ROA, whereas NPF and OER hurt ROA. On the other hand, CAR, GDP, and CPI have no impact on ROA. The finding shows that the internal factors of the BPRS have an important role in dealing with crises during a pandemic. The government is expected to support the digital transformation of BPRS in order to increase the efficiency and convenience of BPRS, so the public is attracted to join BPRS.
Supportive Housing for the Vulnerable: Assessing the Health and Socio-economic Outcome of the Beneficiaries and Non-Beneficiaries in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
Authors: Udoh Usen P.
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the health and socio-economic outcome of beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the supportive housing scheme n Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

Methodology: This study adopts the mixed approach to analyze the health and socio-economic outcome of 65 beneficiaries and 30 non-beneficiaries of the supportive housing scheme (FEYRep Shelter of Hope) in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. A sampling frame containing the list of vulnerable groups who were beneficiaries and those on the waiting list (non-beneficiaries) was obtained from the FEYRep office and used to randomly select the samples. Oral testimony and questionnaire were used to collect relevant data for the study. Whereas, a thematic analysis of the transcript of oral testimony was done; the independent t-test was also employed to compare outcome between the two samples. Data presentation was done using Tables and Pictorial.

Findings: Findings revealed a harrowing and degrading experience reported by the respondents who are still homeless or living in despicable housing. Furthermore, health and socio-economic outcome were found to differ significantly in favour of the beneficiaries.

Unique contributions to theory, practice and policy: Findings reinforce the fact that supportive housing has the potency to mediate and ameliorate the housing predicament of the vulnerable and also enhance their health and socio-economic status. Further gains in this direction can be reaped if the FEYReP or other stakeholders in the supportive housing project can expand their scope of beneficiaries as well as providing social services for the beneficiaries.
Ensino médio integrado no Instituto Federal de São Paulo: rumo à formação humana integral?
Authors: Brazorotto Cíntia  Magno , Soares Marta  Senghi , Abreu Claudia Barcelos de Moura
Published: June 2023

O presente artigo tem como base a pesquisa de Brazorotto (2014) que investigou a implementação do ensino médio integrado (EMI) implementado no Instituto Federal de São Paulo (IFSP) por meio de um Acordo de Cooperação firmado entre o IFSP e a Secretaria de Estado da Educação de São Paulo (SEE-SP) no ano de 2011. Os resultados da  referida pesquisa apontaram a distância entre  a efetiva integração entre o ensino médio regular e a formação profissional técnica, indicando a permanência do dualismo existente na educação brasileira, que separa a educação propedêutica da profissional. Adicionalmente e a partir de tais resultados, o artigo reflete sobre as iniciativas institucionais que se seguiram ao término da parceria, no ano de 2015 em apoio à construção de Projetos Pedagógicos de Cursos (PPC) elaborados pelos próprios pelos professores e técnico-administrativos nos campi do IFSP. A hipótese que orientou essa análise é de que o processo de reorganização institucional para elaboração dos PPCs de EMI pelo próprio IFSP pudesse oferecer melhores condições para se erigir cursos de EMI pautados na formação humana integral, de forma  a superar a educação profissional voltada exclusivamente para atender à demanda imediata do mercado de trabalho.

A Study on Consumer Buying Pattern Towards Amul Milk
Authors: Sonal Agrawal  , Dr. Gazala Yasmin Ashraf
Published: June 2023

In this paper we describe a case study of a dairy cooperative, AMUL, in western India that has developed a successful model for doing business in large emerging economy. It has been primarily responsible, through its innovative practices, for India to become world’s largest producer of milk. This paper draws various lessons from the experiences of AMUL that would be useful to cooperatives globally as well as firms that are interested in doing business in large emerging markets like India and China.
Many of these economies have underdeveloped markets and fragmented supply bases. Market failures for many of these small producers are high. On the other hand, the size of both, markets and the suppliers is large. As a result, firms that identify appropriate business strategies that take into account these characteristics are more likely to succeed in these markets. The following are some key message from AMUL’s success: firms in these environments need to simultaneously develop markets and suppliers to synchronize demand and supply planning, develop or become a part of network of producers (i.e., cooperatives in this case) to obtain scale economies, focus on operational effectiveness to achieve cost leadership to enable low price strategy. In addition, a central focus to bring the diverse element together and a long-term approach are required. In emerging economies different industrial sectors may be at different stages of development. In some of the sectors all of the above environmental characteristics faced may not hold. However, a subset of strategies followed by AMUL would still be very useful. Thus, firms that are contemplating addressing large undeveloped markets or have an intention of taking advantage of extensive but marginal supplier base would still benefit
Supply Chain Management for Business Process Optimization using Decision Tree Regression Model
Authors: Dr. K. Kasturi  , Dr. J. Jebathangam
Published: June 2023

Business process optimization and increases supply chain is the practice of increasing organizational efficiency by improving optimized processes, and supply chain lead to optimized business goals. Any business model supply chain can be improvised by optimizing the process between two or more parties. In our application, there is a need to optimize and classify a large amount of data between clients and enterprises, then classify requirements and purchase update details between employees and the purchasing team. Thus we propose a Decision tree regression model. Decision trees are powerful machine learning algorithms that can be used for classification and regression tasks. They work by splitting the data up multiple times based on the category that they fall into or their continuous output in the case of regression. In the base paper Linear regression is used to predict output but for a linear relationship between dataset and output variable.
