Country image and branding of Slovakia
Authors: Kleinová Katarína , Űrgeová Johana
Published: September 2024

The paper points at some points of country marketing, for example how European countries could be successful in the situation of global competitiveness, not only taking into account their history or culture but also in the area of product image, such as a country of origin. Country in its own is also a way of a brand. Most countries communicate with the rest of the world on several levels and so they create their images whether knowingly or randomly. Political decisions of the government, the ways of attracting foreign investors and skilled workforce, export of products, export of culture, promotion of tourism and ultimately inhabitants themselves of the country are also either positively or negatively involved in creating the country image.
Zmiany struktury kanałów dystrybucji a poprawa warunków konkurencji w sektorze ubezpieczeń w Polsce w latach 2002-2009
Authors: Kozak Sylwester
Published: September 2024

Integracja z systemem finansowym Unii Europejskiej była źródłem istotnych zmian w polskim sektorze ubezpieczeń. Okres lat 2002-2009 charakteryzował się wzrostem inwestycji zagranicznego kapitału oraz zwiększeniem konkurencji ze strony zakładów krajowych i zagranicznych. Jedną z istotniejszych konsekwencji tego procesu było rozszerzenie asortymentu o nowe usługi oraz zmiana struktury kanałów dystrybucji ubezpieczeń. Celem badań jest analiza zmian w strukturze produktów ubezpieczeniowych oraz struktury kanałów ich dystrybucji w latach 2002-2009. Badania przeprowadzono na podstawie danych o zakładach ubezpieczeń, jakie publikuje Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego (KNF) i Polska Izba Ubezpieczeń (PIU). Wyniki analizy wskazują, że wraz ze zwiększeniem zaangażowania kapitału zagranicznego w sektorze oraz poprawą sytuacji gospodarczej po integracji Polski z UE wzrosło znaczenia grupy średnich zakładów i spadł poziom koncentracji rynku. Zakłady zmieniły strukturę produktów częściej oferując polisy ubezpieczeń na życie jako instrument inwestycji oszczędności oraz zmniejszając udział ubezpieczeń komunikacyjnych na korzyść ubezpieczeń finansowego i majątkowych. Ubezpieczyciele przebudowali strukturę kanałów dystrybucji zwiększając istotnie sprzedaż produktów ubezpieczeniowych przez sieć placówek bankowych, doprowadzając do silnej dywersyfikacji form sprzedaży ubezpieczeń w Polsce. Wzrastającym kanałem dystrybucji, choć nadal o niewielkich rozmiarach, stała się sprzedaż przez Internet i telefon.

Rolnicze inwestycje modernizacyjne i dostosowujące do standardów UE, finansowane ze środków unijnych
Authors: Girzycka Wioletta , Sadowski Arkadiusz
Published: September 2024

Artykuł zawiera wyniki badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych na grupie rolników, z których część wykonała inwestycje modernizacyjne lub dostosowujące gospodarstwa do standardów UE. Wykazay one duże zróżnicowanie pomiędzy dwiema analizowanymi typami przedsięwzięć, zarówno pod względem rzeczowym i finansowym, jak i dotyczącym motywacji wykonania. Inwestycje modernizacyjne charakteryzowały się większą kosztochłonnością, lecz ich realizacja wynikała z wewnętrznych potrzeb podmiotów. Wykonywane były przez gospodarstwa większe powierzchniowo. Przedsięwzięcia dostosowawcze z kolei realizowane były głównie ze względu na chęć późniejszego skorzystania z innych form pomocy UE, a ich wartość była ponad 10-ktornie niższa w stosunku do inwestycji modernizacyjnych

The aim of this paper is to find the geometric characterizations of almost
Ricci-Bourguignon solitons and gradient almost Ricci-Bourguignon solitons
within the background of Kenmotsu manifolds. If (M, 1) is a
(2n+1)-dimensional Kenmotsu manifold and 1 represents an almost
Ricci-Bourguignon soliton, then we find a sufficient condition under which
the manifoldMis Einstein (trivial). Next, we show that if 1 is an almost
Ricci-Bourguignon soliton on Mand the Reeb vector field ? leaves ?+?r
invariant, then 1 reduces to Ricci-Bourguignon soliton on M. Finally, we
prove that if 1 is a gradient almost Ricci-Bourguignon soliton, then the
manifold M is either Einstein or 1 is a gradient ??Yamabe soliton on M. as a
consequence of the results, we obtain several corollaries.
Time optimal controls for Hilfer fractional nonlocal evolution systems without compactness and Lipschitz condition
Authors: Zhu Shouguo , Li Gang
Published: September 2024

We explore the time optimal control problem for a Hilfer type fractional
diffusion nonlocal control system. For this strategy, with the help of the
established subordination principle and approximation theory, the abstract
model adapted from the addressed diffusion system is tackled by the
approximation solvability approach and the resolvent technique. We drop the
compactness on semigroup and the Lipschitz restriction on the nonlinear
term. We then employ a joint combination of the approach of formulating
minimizing approximation sequences twice and the weak topology method to
seek suitable trajectory-control dyads. Finally, the time optimal control
problem for the diffusion system is solved by exploiting our mentioned
abstract results.
Rough statistical convergence and rough ideal convergence in random 2-normed spaces
Authors: Rashid M.H.M.
Published: September 2024

This study?s main goal is to define approximate statistical convergence in
spaces with probabilistic norms. The idea of convergence in random 2-normed
space is more generalized as a result of our demonstrations of some
fundamental features and examples of convergence in linear spaces with
norms. More specifically, we demonstrate the findings for sets of
statistical limit points and sets of cluster points of approximate
statistically convergent sequences in these spaces. Additionally, we extend
the idea of rough convergence by applying the idea of ideals, which
automatically expands the original ideas of rough statistical convergence
and rough convergence. We define the collection of rough ideal limit points
and demonstrate a number of outcomes related to this collection.
The application of quasi-experimental approaches to the analysis of the relationship between employment and health
Authors: Kaneva Maria
Published: September 2024

This study is the first to use quasi-experimental approaches to analyze the
employment-health relationship in Russia. We employ propensity score
matching to assess the impact on self-reported health of being employed or
unemployed during the period 2010-2018. Using a difference-in-differences
estimator, we also explore the effect of re-employment on physical health.
Controlling for selection bias, we find a negative impact of unemployment on
physical health. We also confirm that being employed leads to better
self-reported health than being unemployed. Part of the effect is related to
improved individual mental health. Furthermore, the
difference-in-differences estimator of the re-employment effect shows that
finding a job after three years of not working increases self-reported
health. The results have important policy implications. The government
should actively promote employment and initiate information campaigns to
promote free health checkups for the unemployed. In Russia, where the state
bears the cost of healthcare, these policies will eventually allow the
government to save money on medical treatment.

Published: September 2024

Background and purpose: The study’s purpose was to develop and internally validate a prognostic survival model exploring baseline variables for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis curve progression.Methods: A longitudinal prognostic cohort analysis was performed on trial data (n = 135) including girls and boys, Cobb angle 25–40°, aged 9–17 years, remaining growth > 1 year, and previously untreated. Prognostic outcome was defined as curve progression of Cobb angle of > 6° prior to skeletal maturity. 34 candidate prognostic variables were tested. Time-to-event was measured with 6-month intervals. Cox proportional hazards regression survival model (CoxPH) was used for model development and validation in comparison with machine learning models (66.6/33.3 train/test data set). The models were adjusted for treatment exposure.Results: The final primary prognostic model included 127 patients, predicting progress with acceptable discriminative ability (concordance = 0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72–0.86). Significant prognostic risk factors were Risser stage of 0 (HR 4.6, CI 2.1–10.1, P < 0.001), larger major curve Cobb angle (HRstandardized 1.5, CI 1.1–2.0, P = 0.005), and higher score on patient-reported pictorial Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (pSAQ) (HRstandardized 1.4, CI 1.0–1.9, P = 0.04). Treatment exposure, entered as a covariate adjustment, contributed significantly to the final model (HR 3.1, CI 1.5–6.0, P = 0.001). Sensitivity analysis displayed that CoxPH maintained acceptable discriminative ability (AUC 0.79, CI 0.65–0.93) in comparison with machine learning algorithms.Conclusion: The prognostic model (Risser stage, Cobb angle, pSAQ, and menarche) predicted curve progression of > 6° Cobb angle with acceptable discriminative ability. Adding patient report of the pSAQ may be of clinical importance for the prognosis of curve progression.
Risk of second revision and mortality following first-time revision due to prosthetic joint infection after primary total hip arthroplasty: results on 1,669 patients from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register
Authors: Joanroy Rajzan , Gubbels Sophie , Møller Jens K , Overgaard Søren , Varnum Claus
Published: September 2024

Background and purpose: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) has a severe impact on patients. We investigated the risk of second revision and mortality following first-time revision due to PJI.Methods: We identified 1,669 first-time revisions including 416 treated with debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register (DHR). First-time revision due to PJI was defined as a revision with ≥ 2 culture-positive biopsies for the same bacteria or re-ported as PJI to the DHR within 1 year after primary THA with non-PJI revisions as controls. We retrieved information on Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), death, cohabitation status, and cultures from intraoperative biopsies. The adjusted relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated by first-time revision (PJI or non-PJI). Patients were followed from first-time revision until end of study.Results: PJI was found in 140 of 280 patients having a second revision following any first-time revision. Of these 280 patients, 200 were treated with DAIR as second revision. Patients with first-time revision due to PJI had an increased risk of second revision compared with first-time revision for non-PJI with an adjusted RR for second revision due to any cause of 2.7 (CI 1.9–3.8) and second revision due to PJI of 6.3 (CI 4.0–10). The 10-year adjusted RR for mortality for patients with first-time revision due to PJI compared with non-PJI was 1.8 (CI 0.7–4.5).Conclusion: The risk of second revision was increased both for second revision due to any reason and due to PJI following first-time revision due to PJI. Mortality risk following first-time revision due to PJI was increased, but not statistically significant.

Authors: Pei Runsheng , Xiao Cong , Chen Jian , Liu Hao , Chen Jinting , Ge Haixia , Cai Nana , Wu Yihua , Zhou Yan
Published: September 2024

Purpose: To investigate the correlation between the marginal bone height of implants in the posterior maxilla of patients with periodontal disease and the inclination of cusp, providing a theoretical basis for the occlusal design of implant restorations in such patients. 
Methods: A total of 80 patients with periodontal disease who underwent implant restoration in the posterior maxilla (55 men and 25 women; mean age 56.66 ± 12.70 years) were selected, with a total of 80 implant restorations (one implant restoration per patient). In addition to recording the main research factor of the inclination of cusp, general patient information, implant characteristics and restoration characteristics were taken, and retrospective analysis of the case data and imaging data of the 80 patients from over 3 years was conducted. Cone beam computed tomography was performed preoperatively and 3 years after implant loading to measure and calculate the marginal bone height of the implants using the One Volume Viewer software. Correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the inclination of the cusp and marginal bone height. 
Results: There was a positive correlation between the inclination of cusp and the marginal bone height of the implants, with a correlation coefficient of 0.661 (p < 0.001); the diameter of the implants, implant type and restoration type were negatively correlated with the marginal bone height of the implants, with correlation coefficients of −0.364 (p = 0.001), −0.232 (p = 0.038) and −0.298 (p = 0.007), respectively. 
Conclusion: When designing the occlusion of implant restorations in the posterior maxilla of patients with periodontal disease, it is advisable to appropriately reduce the restoration’s inclination of cusp.

Dehydration and Quality of Dried Mushrooms: A Review
Authors: Ansari Md. Irfan Ahmad , Guria Augustine , Lakra Nikhil H. , Rai Pramod
Published: September 2024

The production of mushrooms is increasing at a rapid pace due to advanced production technologies and higher consumption throughout the world. The consumption of edible mushrooms has increased throughout the world due to its high nutritive value, texture and flavor. Mushroom cultivation in India is emerging as secondary agricultural based land independent enterprises with huge local and export market potential. The post harvest life of mushrooms is very limited due to high moisture content and water activity, microbial, enzymatic activity and biochemical reactions. Storage of fresh mushrooms is a major problem in Indian conditions due to the lack of a cold chain system in India. Preservation of mushroom is very essential for reducing post harvest loss and extending shelf life whilst maintaining nutritional and organoleptic qualities for consumer’s acceptance and availability of products during off-season. Dehydration is the most popular and important technique to increase the shelf life of mushrooms by reducing moisture content up to a level at which undesirable charges are prevented. The drying techniques which have the great potential for the production of quality dried mushrooms and powders are solar drying, tray drying, vacuum drying, microwave-vacuum drying, freeze drying and heat pump drying. Pretreatment before drying seems to be an effective method of preservation of mushrooms with minimum changes in nutritional and sensory quality to increase consumer’s acceptability and market potential of dehydrated mushrooms. This review gives the information on pretreatments, dehydration and quality of dehydrate mushrooms.
Decomposition of PFAS and Synthesis of BC8 Super-Diamond: Rotations of Electromagnetic Waves for Novel Chemical Dynamics
Authors: Little Reginald B.
Published: September 2024

A new theory is given for the decomposition of PFAS and the formation of BC8 Super-diamond with 13C isotope by application of RBL’s rotating magnetic field, neutrinos and/or antineutrinos and static magnetic field for stimulating nuclei having nonzero nuclear magnetic moments (NMMs). The induced NMMs are proposed more readily in the 19F of PFAS due to the large mass defect of 19F and the many C-F bonds per molecule. The super-diamond with 13C isotope is reasoned to form with its body center cubic lattice with central 13-carbon atom per cube due to the rotating magnetic field, neutrinos and/or antineutrinos and resulting internal induced sp3 hybridization with more efficiency for the applied external pressure and internal pressure by 13C isotope to be better used to compress the resulting sp3 carbon atoms to BC8 super-diamond. The author invented the use of rotating electromagnetic, neutrino and/or antineutrino and magnetic fields to affect chemical dynamics in 2000-07. The author (RBL) thereby here reports the theory and discovery of unusual and large interactions of highly, energetic dynamical hydrogen bonds with neutrinos and antineutrinos.

Reconstruction of the Management, Utilization and Sale of Waqf Property in Indonesia from the Perspective of Maqāṣid Ash-Shari'ah
Authors: Kurniati Herlina , Muslim Muslim
Published: September 2024

The issue of selling waqf objects has different opinions among scholars, as some scholars of the Māliki and Shāfi'i schools of thought are of the opinion that waqf assets cannot be sold or exchanged. Meanwhile, according to the Hanbali school of thought, waqf assets may be traded provided that the waqf assets are no longer productive and the conditions require it. Therefore, because this waqf doctrine is included in the ijtihādiyah issue, it is not a matter of worship (ta'abbūdi). The focus of the problem in this research is how to reconstruct the management, empowerment and trading of waqf assets in Indonesia from the perspective of Maqāṣid Ash- Shari'ah. The method used in this research is typologically, this research is a model of Islamic legal research categorized as qualitative research. Qualitative research is descriptive qualitative, this research is included in the category of library research which aims to explore and search for maqāṣîd ash-sharî'ah concepts from classical and contemporary uṣûl al-fiqh experts, whose data are obtained from searching for reading sources to obtain primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary materials. The results of the research can be concluded that in Indonesia the regulations governing waqf issues can be found in Law No. 41 of 2004 concerning Waqf, which was signed by the President of the Republic of Indonesia (SBY) on October 2, 2004. A few years later, PP No. 42/2006 was issued to implement the law. From the perspective of maqāṣid ash-shari'ah, the management and utilization, including selling waqf assets that are no longer productive, badly damaged, and have almost lost their usefulness, is basically the purpose of the waqf asset itself, which is to fulfill the needs and interests of the community.Keywords: ijtihādiyah; Maqāṣid Ash-Shari'ah; Reconstruction; Productive Waqf
Occlusal wear in humans: Anthropological perspective
Authors: Cucina Andrea
Published: September 2024

Occlusal wear has been present in humans since the beginning of our evolutionary journey. Even considering its intrinsic limitations, its study is central to estimating age at death, making inferences on diet, on the way food was prepared, and on cultural non-masticatory use of teeth. Its study allows us to understand how occlusal wear has responded to the evolutionary changes that characterized human beings from the onset of agriculture up to the more recent Industrial Revolution. This brief review paper focuses on the study of occlusal wear from an anthropological and bioarchaeological perspective. It discusses its importance for understanding past societies, its advantages, and its limitations in anthropological studies of skeletonized individuals, and how different fields of study in odontology, dental anthropology/bioarchaeology focus on occlusal wear from very distinctive and rarely overlapping perspectives, but that can significantly benefit from one another in a multidisciplinary approach.
A nexus of crude oil prices and real effective exchange rate movement in Thailand
Authors: Pechdin Watchara , Bunditsakulchai Pongsun , Ho Tien Diem Nguyen
Published: September 2024

The impact of crude oil price fluctuations on the real effective exchange rate (REER) has been widely debated, but specific evidence, particularly for developing countries in Southeast Asia, is scarce and inconclusive. This issue, especially concerning both short- and long-term relationships, remains inadequately addressed, affecting these countries for risk management related to oil price fluctuations. This study aims to fill this gap by examining these relationships in Thailand context to provide more evidence on how the REER in Southeast Asia responds to changes in crude oil prices. Monthly data of crude oil prices in Dubai market and the Thai baht REER from 2000 to 2019 were employed. Johansen co-integration test and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) were used for analyzing long-term and short-term relationships, respectively. The results indicate a significant negative long-term relationship between crude oil prices and the REER, with a 0.31% reduction in the REER for every 1% increase in the real price of oil. However, in the short term, VECM analysis reveals significant movements in the REER in response to external shocks. On average from 2000–2019, the significant fluctuations in the REER are quickly alleviated and adjusted to its long-run equilibrium, typically by 2% in the following month following external shocks such as crude oil price fluctuations. Given these findings, which highlight the long-term relationship between the REER and crude oil prices and its short-term adjustment, it is suggested that when there is a shock from the crude oil prices, the government can strengthen short-term oil price controls or monetary subsidies to mitigate the extensive repercussions of energy market fluctuations, as such interventions would have a lesser impact on the long-term equilibrium of the REER.

Authors: Almassawa Syafieq Fahlevi , Rustiadi Ernan , Fauzi Akhmad , Sutriadi Ridwan
Published: September 2024

Urbanization and suburbanization have led to high population growth in certain city regions, resulting in increased population density and mobility. Therefore, there is a need for a concept to address congestion, public transportation, information and communication systems, and non-motorized vehicles. Smart mobility is a concept of urban development as part of the smart city concept based on information and communication technology. Through this concept, it is expected that transportation services will be easily accessible, safe, comfortable, fast, and affordable for the community. This research aims to analyze smart mobility and its relationship with regional transportation planning and the development of South Tangerang, as well as to design a policy strategy model for the planning and development of South Tangerang with smart mobility. The research method used in this study is a mixed method, including analyzing the relationships and weighting of relationships between variables using the Cross Impact Multiplication applied to a classification (MICMAC) matrix. Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) with Promethee software is also used to obtain the necessary policies. The results of this research indicate that the measurement of relationships between variables shows that smart mobility influences regional transportation planning, smart mobility affects regional development, and regional planning affects regional development. This research also provides alternative policies that policymakers should implement in a specific order. First, ensure the availability of public transportation; second, improve public transportation safety; third, enhance public transportation security; fourth, improve public transportation routes; fifth, provide real-time information access; sixth, improve transportation schedules; and seventh, increase the number of bicycle lanes.
The effect of greenwashing on green purchase intention: Perceived betrayal as a mediator and brand loyalty as a moderator
Authors: Shi Jieyun , Omar Nor Asiah
Published: September 2024

Building upon the cognition-affect-behavior model, this research aims to investigate the effect of greenwashing on consumers purchase intentions by testing the mediating effect of perceived betrayal and the moderating effect of brand loyalty. Data was collected through a questionnaire from 339 Chinese consumers involved in the fashion industry. AMOS 24 was employed to test the fitness of the proposed model, and the proposed hypotheses were tested through hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS 23. The results indicate that greenwashing has a negative impact on consumer purchase intentions, with perceived betrayal partially mediating this relationship. Additionally, the findings show that brand loyalty can mitigate the adverse effects of greenwashing on consumer purchase intentions. The findings of this study enhance the existing knowledge on the relationship between greenwashing and consumer purchase intentions, particularly in the fashion industry, and have significant practical implications for companies in this sector aiming to increase consumer purchase intentions.

Published: September 2024

Representatives of Generation Z are characterized by a propensity for entrepreneurship, social awareness, interest in social, environmental, and political issues and ease of movement in the digital sphere. In the context of the real estate market, generation Z is becoming an important collective and understanding the preferences, expectations and behaviors of people representing this generation is crucial for the development industry, real estate agencies and investors. The aim of the study was to find out the housing and investment plans of people representing Generation Z. In addition, Generation Z’s knowledge of the real estate market was identified. A literature review on real estate and Generation Z was conducted. The survey showed sufficient knowledge of basic concepts related to the real estate market. The overwhelming majority of respondents believe that housing policy in Poland needs to be changed, and the most preferred direction of change was to reduce property prices. Attention was first and foremost paid to the price per square meter of real estate. Among the 90.1% of respondents who declared they would buy a property, more than 70% intend to finance the purchase in whole or in part with a mortgage.
"Vi kallar det skolverkiska"
Authors: Olsson Maria , Fredriksson Maria
Published: September 2024

This study investigates an under-researched Swedish national improvement initiative called “Collaboration for the Best School Possible” (CBS), regarding preschool. The aim of this article was to develop knowledge of preschool teachers’ and head teachers’ conceptions and experiences during the initial phase of CBS. The data are based on semi-structured interviews with 14 preschool professionals. A qualitative content analysis guided by the concept of ideological dilemmas was conducted. The results show imbalances regarding the dilemmas of “a linear logic” versus “a complex practice” and “the top-down governance” versus “the bottom-up influences”. The linear logic for improvements, to which it seemed the preschool professionals had adapted, appears to lack place for complexities. The professionals also appeared subordinated to representatives of National Agency for Education and a specific language use, supposed to be spoken at the agency, “Skolverkiska” as well as a perceived focus on deficiencies. Risks are pointed out for an overly narrow view of the practice in which its conditions are neglected. This article shows the importance of further discussions regarding why, for what and for whom an educational practice needs to be improved.

Pemerintah Republik Indonesia bekerjasama dengan asosiasi profesi kesehatan mengeluarkan program edukasi kepada masyarakat (GERMAS) tentang pengelolaan obat yang benar dengan fokus materi DaGuSiBu melalui penyebaran poster di Puskesmas. Tidak semua lapisan masyarakat terpapar dengan program ini, khususnya penduduk usia produktif (kaum milenial). Untuk memberikan edukasi yang lebih dapat diterima bagi kaum milenial, maka dibuat materi edukasi DaGuSiBu berbasis komik digital. Penelitian diawali dengan melakukan survey purposive sampling terhadap 385 responden yang dilakukan dengan penyebaran kuesioner melalui media sosial untuk mengetahui kebutuhan materi edukasi meliputi cara mendapatkan obat (DA), cara menggunakan (GU), cara menyimpan (SI), dan cara membuang obat (BU); kemudian dianalisis jenis informasi yang menjadi prioritas untuk dibuatkan cerita dalam bentuk komik digital. Sebagai bahan perbandingan dalam pembuatan materi edukasi, dipertimbangkan pula unsur keterbaruan dari materi edukasi yang dikeluarkan oleh Kemenkes RI, BPOM RI, serta IAI. Hasil survei diketahui terdapat 8 jenis informasi yang menjadi prioritas dibuatkan materinya pada aspek “DA”, 8 informasi pada “GU”, 6 informasi pada “SI”, dan 5 informasi pada “BU”. Materi edukasi yang menjadi unsur kebaruan adalah cara mendapatkan obat secara online, tips agar lebih mudah minum obat, dampak pembuangan obat yang tidak benar, dan saran membuang ke apotek yang menerima limbah obat. Informasi dalam komik disajikan berupa rangkaian cerita di lingkungan apotek yang menampilkan percakapan pelanggan dengan apoteker yang bertugas, membahas kasus yang terjadi atau sebagai respon dari pertanyaan pelanggan. Materi edukasi ini menjadi dasar penelitian lanjutan yang mengukur efek pemberian media informasi terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan serta tingkat kepuasan responden terhadap media komik digital.
