Capital is one of the factors that has an important role in the production process, because it is needed when an entrepreneur wants to establish a new company or to expand an existing business. Information technology can be maximally utilized to accelerate productivity in a business. With this tool, it is very easy for MSME actors to increase productivity which will ultimately affect income levels. The longer the working hours of a trader to run his business, the more customers he has. The increase in the number of customers, both those who shop directly at the store or who shop via online media, is one of the factors that can affect the income earned. This study aims to determine the simultaneous and partial effect of capital, information technology, and working hours on the income of SMEs in the trading sector in East Denpasar District by using a non-probability sampling technique, namely purposive sampling using the Slovin formula so that obtained as many as 93 samples. The results showed that simultaneously all independent variables have a significant effect on the dependent variable. Partially the variables of capital, information technology, and working hours have a positive and significant effect on the income of MSME players in the trading sector in East Denpasar District.

Authors: Henira Eli Marnia , Masbar Raja , Seftarita Chenny
Published: October 2021

Inflation is generally seen as a monetary phenomenon whose effective control is through the management of the money supply, interest rates, and exchange rates. Another opinion views inflation as a fiscal phenomenon that is controlled through the effectiveness of tax revenues and state expenditures and avoiding a budget deficit that triggers an increase in government external debt. This study aims to examine and analyze the volatility of inflation as a phenomenon monetary-fiscal combination in Indonesia. The analysis was carried out descriptively and quantitatively through the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model using secondary time series data from the 1st quarter of 2009 to the 2nd quarter of 2020. The results showed the dominance of the positive influence of interest rates from the monetary side and foreign debt from the fiscal side, as well as the ineffective role of tax revenue in reducing inflation in Indonesia. Bank Indonesia needs to streamline policies related to interest rate management in regulating the money supply. The government needs to make efforts to increase the effectiveness of tax revenues and state spending to minimize its foreign debt.

Published: October 2021

Credit growth is one of the important indicators of the financial system that can drive the country economic growth, but on the other hand credit growth can also cause risks in the financial system due to the economic actors’ moral hazard. The purpose of this research is to analyze the credit procyclicality pattern and economic growth in Indonesia. In addition, this study aims to determine the relationship pattern between credit and some macroeconomic variables. The method used is VECM with quarterly time series data during 1998 until 2016. The analysis shows that credit growth and economic growth have positive causality. This shows pro-cyclicality between credit and economic growth in Indonesia. However, in the long run this pattern shows a downward trend although still positive and permanent, which means that excessive credit growth can also lead to a decline in economic growth.

Published: October 2021

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of the Covid-19 pandemic in several countries, one of which is in Indonesia. To avoid Covid-19 infection, the government has implemented several policies such as physical contact restrictions (physical distancing). When implementing physical distancing, a person is not allowed to shake hands and maintain a distance when interacting with other people, especially with people who are sick or at high risk of suffering from COVID -19. However, on the other hand, the physical distancing policy that has been implemented has not been maximized. This happens due to several factors. Among them is the existence of a misunderstanding in society that causes negligent nature in implementing physical distancing efforts. This journal focuses on the use of technology to calculate physical distance distances automatically using the calculation of the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) by utilizing Bluetooth low energy (BLE) as the communication medium. RSSI is a measurement of the power received by a wireless device. The basic principle of this system is the existence of connectivity between wristbands using Bluetooth communication media so that the system can calculate physical distance distances automatically using the RSSI value.

Keputusan dividen di perusahaan mempengaruhi ekspektasi investor dan pada gilirannya mempengaruhi nilai perusahaan. Oleh karena itu, keputusan dividen menjadi perhatian manajemen. Pada periode 2016 hingga 2019, industri makanan dan minuman Indonesia mengalami pertumbuhan. Penelitian ini mengkaji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kebijakan dividen perusahaan makanan dan minuman di Indonesia pada periode pertumbuhan 2016 hingga 2019. Faktor-faktor tersebut adalah profitabilitas, likuiditas, dan leverage. Selanjutnya variabel moderating yaitu pertumbuhan penjualan digunakan untuk melihat apakah pertumbuhan penjualan mempengaruhi profitabilitas dan selanjutnya mempengaruhi kebijakan dividen. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah regresi linier berganda dengan menggunakan data panel. Sampel yang dipilih menggunakan purposive sampling untuk mengetahui perusahaan yang secara konsisten memberikan dividen yang berasal dari laba dan bukan dari hutang atau sumber dana lainnya. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah profitabilitas, likuiditas dan leverage berpengaruh signifikan. Namun profitabilitas dan likuiditas tidak memiliki hubungan positif yang signifikan tetapi memiliki hubungan negatif yang signifikan. Perbedaan ini karena ketika industri tumbuh, perusahaan menginvestasikan dananya secara internal untuk mengejar pertumbuhan sehingga alokasi dana yang digunakan untuk dividen berkurang.

Triple-combined hypolipidaemic therapy in familial hypercholesterolaemia: clinical cases
Authors: Chepurnenko Svetlana A. , Shavkuta Galina V. , Safonova Alina V.
Published: October 2021

Background.The prevalence of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HeFH) comprises 1 per 250 people. The risk of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) is 20 times higher in HeFH patients among the general population. CVD develops in HeFH patients under 20 years of age, and they usually do not survive to 30 years. Therefore, the primary treatment track here is correction of dyslipidaemia to prevent atherosclerosis progression and CVD. Clinical Case Descriptions. The article describes the clinical cases of familial dyslipidaemia in 47-yo patient M. and his 75-yo mother P. The patient had a visit related to blood pressure (BP) surges up to 140/90 mm Hg. In history: acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in maternal grandfather at 50 years and own uncle at 32 years. The patient’s cardiovascular risk factors: male gender, dyslipidaemia (total cholesterol (TC) 15.8 mmol/L), overweight (body mass index 29.9 kg/m2), familial history of young CVD, sedentary lifestyle (employed as manager), psychological and socioeconomic factors (work-related stress pressure), resting heart rate 88 beats/min. The patient was immediately ordered a combined hypolipidaemic therapy including rosuvastatin 20 mg, ezetimibe 10 mg, telmisartan 40 mg once daily for blood pressure correction. In 1-month therapy, cholesterol dropped to 4.4 mmol/L, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol – to 2.2, but triglycerides remained high at 3.9 mmol/L. Fenofi brate added to therapy at 145 mg 1 time. Another 1-month therapy allowed the overall reduction of TC to 3.7, LDL cholesterol to 1.9, triglycerides to 2.17 and high-density lipoproteins to 1.19 mmol/L. Past 3 months, a further drop was observed in triglycerides to 1.7 mmol/L. Hence, a triple hypolipidaemic therapy facilitated the target LDL and triglyceride values without involving expensive medications like PCSK9 blockers. The patient’s mother also achieved the target basic lipidogram owing to a triple lipid-lowering therapy.

Conclusion.The case is of interest to exemplify a successful triple lipid-lowering therapy in patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia.
Microbial landscape in hospital patients with new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), antibiotic resistance comparison vs. Pre-covid stage: a prospective study
Authors: Avdeeva Marina G. , Kulbuzheva Makka I. , Zotov Sergey V. , Zhuravleva Yelena V. , Yatsukova Alina V.
Published: October 2021

Background. The new coronavirus infection has manifested untypically compared to other acute respiratory agents, posing a major challenge to researchers worldwide. Despite low incidence of bacterial complications, microbial coinfection plays an important role in the onset and development of severe COVID-19 to hamper diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

Objectives. A study of microbial landscape in secondary complications of COVID-19 and prevailing microbial-agent antibiotic resistance dynamics in COVID-19 vs. patients with pre-COVID community-acquired pneumonia.

Methods. We analysed 1,113 bacterial sputum cultures in COVID-19 patients from 21 hospital of Krasnodar Krai. The study sample comprised 524 strains isolated from COVID-19 patients in bacteriological assays. The comparison sample included 643 positive sputum strains isolated from community-acquired pneumonia patients developing disease in outcome of acute respiratory infection in 2015–2018. The microbial aetiology landscape and strain antibiotic resistance have been compared in COVID-19 vs. patients with community-acquired pneumonia.

Results. Gram-negative bacteria predominated in COVID-19 cultures (58%), followed by Gram-positive bacteria (15%) and fungi (27%). Acinetobacter baumannii (35%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (33%) were about equally represented in Gram-negative flora, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19%) and other microorganisms were half as common. Streptococcus pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus accounted for 48 and 15% Gram-positive strains, respectively. Sputum-isolated fungi were mainly identifi ed as Candida albicans (89%). The Streptoccocus pneumoniae detection rate dropped to 7% in 2020 relative of other flora, which is 10 times less vs. pre-COVID rates, whilst the fungal rate increased dramatically. Antibiotic resistance increased in most isolated microbial strains.

Conclusion. A Gram-negative-dominated aetiology of lower respiratory tract lesions, as well as higher risk of fungal and other opportunistic coinfections should be taken into account in patient treatment for a complicated coronavirus infection. A higher antibiotic resistance is induced by active indication-ignorant use of antibiotics, including pre-hospital treatment. A suitable treatment regimen in COVID-19 should avoid undue antibiotic prescriptions in every patient.
Impact of salt intake on inflammation markers in cardiovascular disease: a retrospective observational case-control study
Authors: Dragunov Dmitrii O. , Sokolova Anna V. , Mitrokhin Vadim M. , Arutyunov Grigorii P.
Published: October 2021

Background. Salt intake currently poses a serious threat due to the cardiovascular challenge incurred by excessive sodium consumption.

Objectives. The identification of markers associated with high salt intake in hypertensive patients.

Methods. A retrospective observational case-control study surveyed 251 persons, including 194 hypertensive patients with stable salt intake. The intake was assessed in the “Charlton: SaltScreener” questionnaire. General, biochemical blood panels and interleukin levels (IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-18) were evaluated in the outcome of medical examination. Statistical data processing was performed with R using the RStudio software.

Results. The mean patient age in survey was 72.47 ± 9.8 years, women prevailed in the selected cohort (n = 151, 60.1%). All patients were assigned in cohorts by the daily salt intake rate, ≤5 g (n = 12), 6–10 g (n = 144), >10 g salt per day (n = 38). The largest cohort (74.2%) united patients consuming 6–10 g salt per day, whereas only 6.2% patients consumed salt <5 g/day. Final analysis included patients consuming ≥6 g/day and having a C-reactive protein (CRP) level <20 mg/L. The analysis elicited an association between the monocyte count, CRP and salt intake towards the statement that higher salt intake leads to higher monocyte counts at CRP <20 mg/L in blood. Modelling revealed a close monocyte count–salt intake relationship, with a low-to-high intake transition sharply increasing the probability of elevated absolute monocyte count in blood provided the CRP level is <20 mg/L.

Conclusion. The study infers a direct relationship between salt intake >10 g/day and blood monocyte count. However, its significance ceases at CRP rising to ≥20 mg/L.
Dermal extracellular matrix response to facetem implant: a randomised controlled experimental study
Authors: Mogilnaya Galina M. , Fomicheva Evgeniya V.
Published: October 2021

Background. A leading concept in modern regenerative medicine is the perspective of using own body resources to remodel organs and tissues via the formation of “living scaffold”. A pivotal role in the formation of dermal scaffold is played by fibroblasts that produce extracellular matrix (ECM).

Aim. A study of the fibroblast activation mechanism mediating synthesis of the dermal ECM fibrillar component under the Facetem filler administration.

Methods. The experimental trial was conducted in Wistar male rats (72 animals). Animals had 0.05 mL Facetem (Korea) injections subdermally. The filler is a calcium-containing product featuring gradual degradation delivered through structural microspheric properties of the Lattice-pore technology. Biological material was sampled at weeks 1 and 2 of months 1, 2, 3 and 5. Tissues were paraffin-embedded in standard histological assays and stained with Mallory’s trichrome, Picrosirius red in polarisation microscopy and immunohistochemistry with collagen types I, III and elastin antibodies (Abcam).

Results. Collagen distribution in dermis and the filling zone suggests that collagen production occurs by week 2 of the Facetem filler placement followed by an increase in synthesised matrix volume to 4.39 ± 0.7 for collagen type I and 3.9 ± 0.2 for collagen type III (p < 0.05). The synthetic activity of fi broblasts reduces by month 3, albeit with collagen production remaining above control even by the end of month 5. Elastin synthesis also initiates by week 2 of the filler injection in dermis and grows by month 3.

Conclusion. The presence of Facetem filler triggers a foreign body inflammatory response in dermis. This multifactorial process initiates with protein adsorption proceeding to dermal cell recruitment and modulation of fibroblasts and macrophages. Activation of these cell types induces neocollagenesis entailing the extracellular matrix synthesis and expansion in dermis.
Regional features of the incidence of mental disorders in the population (on the example of the Irkutsk region): a retrospective study
Authors: Alekhin Igor N. , Apkhanova Nadezhda S. , Dushina Ekaterina V. , Prokopyeva Maria L.
Published: October 2021

Background.Mental and behavioural disorders pose a pressing challenge in healthcare as pertaining to socially significant diseases. The significance is conditioned by high morbidity rates, including temporary and permanent disability, high fi nancial burden of medical care andregular social subsidy to target groups. According to the World Health Organisation, mental burden currently aggravates to entail serious social, human-rights and economic impact around the globe.

Objectives.A study of regional dynamics of mental and behavioural morbidity in the Irkutsk Region over a seven-year period.

Methods.A retrospective descriptive study used statistics data on primary and overall morbidity of definitely diagnosed mental and behavioural disorders (other than substance use disorders; F00–F09, F20–F99). The analysis of mental and behavioural illness incidence was based on statistical reports over the period of 2013–2019. The inclusion criterion was definite diagnosis of a mental and behavioural disorder (other than substance use disorder; F00–F09, F20–F99) in children, adolescents and adults. The main study indicators were the regional mental morbidity rate and prevalence, mental and behavioural morbidity rates among “dispensary care” and “medical counselling” outpatients, and primary morbidity rates by mental and behavioural nosology groups.

Results.The article reports the regional traits of mental morbidity dynamics exhibiting a growing trend in Irkutsk Region. The morbidity traits of primary diagnoses have been analysed in dispensary care and medical counselling outpatients. Growing psychoneurologic visits are observed along with the institutional redirection of fi rst diagnoses towards decreasing the numbers of dispensary care vs. medical counselling outpatients. Thus, the structure of fi rst mental diagnoses changed towards prevailed medical counselling. Primary morbidity rate in male population is higher almost 1.5-fold in the study period. Primary morbidity elevated in both men and women. A primary morbidity analysis in different age cohorts reveals its growth in ages 0–14, 40–59 and >60 years.

Conclusion.Our analyses reveal a lowering primary morbidity rate of mental disorders in outpatients taken for dispensary care, given the overall higher incidence. This may occur due to an institutional and instructional change in medical care provided to this patient category, including ineffective diagnosis, poor aid access and visit rate, statistical reporting design and possible changes in the criteria of taking for dispensary care. This fact requires improvements in the legal regulation of outpatient management of mental and behavioural illness at psychoneurologic institutions and the development of clear criteria of registering for dispensary care.
