Innovation of Benalu Jeruk Leaf Antioxidant Biscuits with a Combination of Sweet Potato Leaf in the Gen-Z Era
Authors: Udayani Ni Nyoman Wahyu , Wulandari Ni Kadek Ganis , Meika Ni Putu Trisna , Putri Ni Komang Ary Agustina Berliana
Published: November 2024

Free radicals are toxic by-products of aerobic metabolism and can cause oxidative damage and tissue dysfunction. Antioxidants can play a role in overcoming excess free radicals in the body by capturing free radicals and preventing chain reactions. Orange bitter melon leaves and sweet potato leaves are considered to contain flavonoids and anthocyanins that act as antioxidants. Therefore, a biscuit innovation was made with orange and sweet potato benalu leaf powder with antioxidants. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant content of biscuits with a combination of orange and sweet potato leaf powder. The biscuits were tested for water content and hedonic and antioxidant activity test using the DPPH method. The antioxidant test results showed that the IC50 value was 179.753, with a moisture content value of 2.21%. Hedonic test results show that the most preferred taste is in F1 because the use of the right simplisia powder ratio can provide an alluring taste. Things that must be considered from this study are that further experiments need to be carried out regarding the effect of giving biscuits containing antioxidants.

Perbankan di Indonesia mulai membuktikan keseriusannya dalam merespon isu lingkungan melalui program Green Banking. Green Banking merupakan usaha bank dalam memprioritaskan aspek keberlanjutan pada pembiayaan dan kegiatan operasionalnya. Peraturan Otoritas Jasa Keuangan telah mewajibkan bank untuk mengkomunikasikan pelaksanaan green banking kepada pemangku kepentingan melalui pengungkapan pada laporan yang disusun bank. Green banking disclosure menunjukkan peningkatan tren dimana bank-bank telah melakukan pengungkapan dengan baik meskipun tingkat pengungkapannya berbeda-beda. Penelitian ini akan menganalisis pengaruh mekanisme tata kelola dan profitabilitas terhadap green banking disclosure. Desain penelitian adalah kuantitatif. Mekanisme tata kelola diwakili oleh ukuran dewan direksi, komisaris independen, dan kepemilikan institusional. Data yang digunakan adalah laporan tahunan dan laporan keberlanjutan. Teknik analisis data digunakan regresi linier berganda.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mekanisme tata kelola yang diwakili oleh ukuran dewan direksi berpengaruh positif terhadap green banking disclosure, sedangkan komisaris independen dan kepemilikan institusional tidak berpengaruh terhadap green banking disclosure. Profitabilitas tidak berpengaruh terhadap green banking disclosure karena tinggi rendahnya profitabilitas tidak menjamin perusahaan akan mengungkapkan informasi mengenai green banking.
Enhancing Predictive Analytics in Business Intelligence through Explainable AI: A Case Study in Financial Products
Authors: Amirineni Sreenivasarao
Published: November 2024

Today, when the importance of data-based decision-making is impossible to question, the use of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in business intelligence (BI) has inestimable benefits for the financial industry. This paper discusses how XAI influences predictive analytics in BI systems and how it may improve interpretability, and useful suggestions for financial product companies. Thus, within the context of this study, an XAI framework helps the financial institutions to employ higher-performing and more accurate models, like gradient boosting and neural networks, while sustaining interpretability required in tendentious planning and satisfying governance and supervision necessities.
These studies reveal that, as applied to the credit scoring dilemma, XAI techniques such as SHAP and LIME do not only enhance prediction consistency and performance, but also offer a detailed understanding of customer behaviours, risk profiles and product performance. They help in interacting and acting within fields that involve decision making on aspects like customer loyalty, probable risks and audit. Furthermore, the study establishes that by incorporating XAI into BI improves model interpretability, which helps financial experts provide tangible rationale for analytical results and conform to regulatory directives.
This framework and findings also support the importance of introducing XAI for financial BI applications to improve analytics practice within the sector. , enabling the generation of higher confidence, reliable decisions, which place the subject of XAI as a profound evolution of business intelligence in finance.

Using the analytic hierarchical process to investigate the impact of training on KPIs in an SME: A case study in the printing industry
Authors: Galleguillos-Pozo Rosa Elizabeth , Rial-González Pablo
Published: November 2024

This paper proposes an AHP and BSC based approach for evaluating the impact of training investments on KPIs in a manufacturing SME in Chile. The analytic hierarchy is structured in three steps: initial analysis (economic factors), organisational analysis (observation) and the impact of training investment on the economic factors in the initial analysis, in terms of the key performance indicators in each step. The aim of this study is to serve as a first stage in the development of an integrated approach linking key performance indicators (KPIs) to training plans, in order to obtain a working process that can be used to determine the weighted impact of training on KPIs, with a view to calculating the return on training investment in a future second stage of research. This paper integrates a theoretical approach with analytic hierarchical process (AHP) methodology. This new approach has been called hierarchical participatory action analysis (APAJ) and is carried out in five steps. APAJ was found to be a more realistic tool for assessing the cost-effectiveness of training in an organisation. A case study focusing on an SME operating within the printing sector is provided to demonstrate the practical application of the proposed methodology.

Published: November 2024

Rural areas in developing countries have limited access to inclusive healthcare delivery and financing. Membership in cooperatives has been suggested as a pathway to rural health inclusiveness. However, whether cooperative membership supports rural health access and financing remains unclear. This study appraises rural healthcare access and financing, and whether membership in cooperative societies offers healthcare advantages to rural households in Nigeria. Primary data were collected in 45 rural communities consisting of 900 households as respondents. Healthcare access is limited among rural households with only 1.1% of pregnant women having access to maternity healthcare. Traditional healthcare access and self-medication exist (27%), in addition to the use of medicine stores (23.2%) and poorly equipped private medical facilities (13.8%) in rural areas. Cooperative organisations provide limited support to healthcare access (74%) for the members. Similarly, rural health financing support from the cooperative is almost non-existent (73.6%). There is a near absence of health insurance (90.8%) in rural areas. However, rural healthcare financing support for the employed exists (31.7%). Rural households find support for healthcare access from family (1.3%), personal savings, and sales of assets (16.2%) while the majority (82.5%) use herbs at no quantifiable cost to meet healthcare needs. Cooperative societies must be educated on the need to incorporate healthcare packages into their products for members. Rural healthcare policies should pay significant attention to how long it takes rural inhabitants to reach existing healthcare facilities.

Authors: Ogunbekun Halimat Modupe , Lawal Abdulazeez Abioye , Akingbade Waidi Adeniyi , Obamiro John Kolade
Published: November 2024

This study examines knowledge management (KM) practices and public healthcare workers’ performance in selected public hospitals, in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design; 641 public healthcare practitioners in Lagos State constituted the population of the study and a sample size of 241 was derived using the Rasoft table. The study employed a purposive sampling technique. Primary data were gathered through a self-administered questionnaire, and 197 copies were retrieved representing 81.7 % and later used for analysis. The study employed descriptive statistics and simple regression analysis to derive meaning from the data. The findings showed that knowledge acquisition has a significant effect on public health workers’ effectiveness (β= 0.773, t = 11.221, p-value= .000) and knowledge sharing has a significant effect on public health workers’ effectiveness i.e. public hospitals (β= 0.698, t = 11.894, p-value= .000). The study concludes that knowledge management (KM) significantly affects public health workers’ performance in Lagos public hospitals. The findings equally demonstrate KM as a strategic resource for effectiveness in public healthcare delivery. This study suggests that the Lagos State Government should continue to employ strategies and policies that encourage the acquisition of knowledge among health workers. In addition, health workers in public hospitals should continue to share their professional experience, skills, and ideas among themselves to offer more effective public medical service delivery.

Tax audit was adopted to evaluate tax computations and remittances in the self-assessment regime. The system of self-assessment provides the taxpayer with the responsibility of assessing his economic activities for taxation, adopting the recommended template or form to render the gross income, allowable deductions, etc. emanating from the economic activities engaged in. The implication of tax audit on tax revenue was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of tax audit on the self-assessment tax policy alongside their contributions to taxation revenue. The survey research design was adopted for the study. Chi-square statistics tool was used to test hypotheses generated for the study. The study revealed that, self-assessment scheme affects revenue generation positively and has contributed greatly in the success of the self-assessment tax policy. The policy is still relevant in today’s business world. It should be upheld.

Published: November 2024

Method: This narrative review summarizes research on ecotherapy or experiences in green and blue spaces that have been considered therapeutic. Results: This recent literature includes several reviews and meta-analyses of research conducted during the last two decades as well as more recent empirical studies. Some of the reviews and studies have explored the effects of walking through forests versus walking through urban areas. Others have involved the participants walking through parks or viewing green scenes from videos or windows and engaging in blue water activities and walking on the beach. The therapeutic effects have included decreased depression, anxiety, blood pressure, heart rate and cortisol and increased serotonin as well as a reduction in cardiopulmonary and hypertensive conditions. Discussion: The studies in this review highlight the therapeutic effects of being in nature. However, the research is limited by small samples and by the lack of active comparison groups, and the experience in nature is confounded by other therapeutic activities in the research protocols including walking, yoga, tai chi and massage.

Background: Electrocardiogram has been widely applied as a diagnostic tool for cardiovascular disease. The concept of the cardiac vector is crucial for the clinical application in ECG interpretation.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 116 male subjects, aged 18-25 years, comprising students and staff of Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital and Research Center, Pokhara, Nepal, over the period from June to September 2023. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) were recorded using a standard ECG machine with conventional limb leads. The mean electrical axis of the heart for each individual was determined by plotting the net voltage of the QRS complex in Lead-I and Lead-III. The study aimed to analyze the correlation between the cardiac vector and physical measurements, such as height, weight, Body Surface Area (BSA), and Body Mass Index (BMI). Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 27.0.
Results: The normal mean electrical axis of the healthy male subjects was observed as 57.88±24.55°. There was significant positive correlation of cardiac vector with height (p< 0.05), whereas negative correlation was observed with weight and BMI (p< 0.01). However, there was no significant correlation with BSA. In our study we observed the maximum left axis cardiac vector as -10° and right axis as 90° among 116 male subjects.
Conclusion: We established a cardiac vector with values differing from those reported in other studies, using standard bipolar limb leads in normal, healthy male subjects. It is also examined that greater BMI has shifted the electrical activity of the ventricles to the left.

A cadastral information system is a set of processes for parcel/property-based data collection, including land tenure, land use, and land value. The primary goal of the Massavi maps at the time was to depict the distribution, status, and yield of arable fields; other information (such as rivers) was relatively inaccurately drawn, leading to geometrical inaccuracies. It results in a significant loss for revenue collection and other objectives. Secondly, It is difficult to overemphasize how necessary knowledge is to the success of any planning, development, or management work. Having a reliable knowledge base is especially crucial for developing countries with limited resources. Another issue that many developing nations encounter is the lack of accurate land records in the real estate market. The cause can include ownership titles, unclear boundaries between private and collective rights, etc. Thus, there is an urgent need to focus on the creation and deployment of a national digital cadastral information system. Given the preceding context, this article outlines all the obstacles and limits that would arise when combining geometric and legal cadastral data to create a new digital cadastral system. A digital cadastral land information system comprises spatial data that represent legal boundaries of land parcels and provides a vital base layer for integration into other spatial Information systems or as a standalone solution that permits users to retrieve, create, update, store, view, analyze and publish land information.
