Authors: Augie Sugiarto Nunka  , Wawan Joko Pranoto
Published: August 2024

PT. Kalonika Bara Kusuma is a company operating in the mining sector located in the city of Samarinda, East Kalimantan province. To achieve maximum profits, PT. Kalonika Bara Kusuma adds or subtracts units according to the amount of turnover obtained in the previous month. However, after being evaluated, it turned out that this method was not effective. Because you only see at a glance the fluctuations in historical data. Sometimes when you have reduced units, it turns out that demand in the following month actually increases. This results in less than optimal profits because they cannot serve existing customer requests. Vice versa. This is what causes PT. Kalonika Bara Kusuma experienced difficulty in making a decision to add or subtract units. From this problem, the author created an application that can predict the amount of turnover in the next month and provide recommendations for deciding which camera units should be increased or decreased in number. To predict the amount of turnover using the Multiple Linear Regression method. After obtaining the predicted results for the amount of turnover, a test was carried out using the Mean Absolute Percentage (MAPE) with a result of 200%, which means that the Multiple Linear Regression method is not suitable to be used to predict the amount of turnover in the next period. Production forecasting is a form of decision making that is used as a basis in many manufacturing and service industries. Therefore, companies that are able to produce products on time and in the right quantities are companies that are able to survive the competition. This demand forecasting is used to forecast demand for products that are independent (not dependent), such as forecasting finished products. The multiple linear regression method is an analytical technique that tries to explain the relationship between two or more variables, especially between variables that contain cause and effect, called regression analysis. So in relation to the description above, this research aims to determine production forecasting using the multiple linear regression method at PT. Kalonica Bara Kusuma.The mining industry is a series of activities that have a long period of time and costs a lot of money, a series of industrial activities, namely mining activities which include digging, loading and hauling to obtain optimal profits from activities. One of the mining industries needs to be a study of operational costs for transportation equipment

The management of adult onset HLH is challenging, in part due to gaps in current state of knowledge on etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management. HLH secondary to triggers such as infections, autoimmune disorders, and malignancy are more commonly seen in adults although cases of familial form have also been reported. Underlying conditions such as sepsis, or malignancy could pose as major confounders while applying universal diagnostic criteria, and therefore could lead to delay in diagnosis. Despite advent of newer therapeutic agents, outcomes of adults continue to remain poor. Future efforts need to be orchestrated to develop evidence-based tailored therapies to improve outcomes of this under recognized heterogeneous entity.
The Myth of Septic Complications of Acute Pneumonia
Authors: Klepikov Igor
Published: August 2024

A new era in the treatment of acute pneumonia (AP) began with the introduction of antibiotics into medical practice. The first successes of the use of new drugs were accompanied by a gradual simplification of views on the nature of AP with an emphasis on the characteristics of the pathogen and its suppression. A huge layer of scientific materials that allow us to understand the features of the development and course of inflammatory processes in the lungs, remained unclaimed. The focus on the etiology of the disease has led to a distorted view of its mechanisms and an exaggerated diagnosis of septic complications that do not have a reasoned confirmation. The current pandemic with a large number of COVID-19 pneumonias has radically changed the etiology of AP and deprived practical medicine of conventional treatment regimens. The unpreparedness of modern medicine for such a challenge and the preservation of the previous ideology of the disease are the reason for a radical revision of the AP doctrine.

Authors: Stevani  , Wendy
Published: August 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of capital structure, profitability, institutional ownership, and company size on corporate value in Indonesia, by considering firm age as a moderation variable. This research focuses on primary consumer sector companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and obtained 295 panel data observations. Moderated regression analysis is used to estimate the interaction model of firm age on the relationship between independent variables and corporate value. The results showed that capital structure and company size had a positive influence on company value, while profitability and institutional ownership did not have a significant influence. Furthermore, firm age moderates the capital structure, as well as changes the direction of influence of institutional ownership and firm size on firm value. However, firm age does not moderate the influence of profitability on firm value. The implication of this study is the importance of considering other firm value proxies, as well as the need for grouping and testing in different economic conditions to increase the external validity.

Authors: Arifin Daud , Ardian Non , Triana Hesti
Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyze the impact of reward and punishment policies on employee work discipline at the State Civil Service Agency (BKN) Medan. This research uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational survey method. The research population consists of all employees at BKN Medan, with a sample of 150 employees selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Validity and reliability tests were conducted to ensure that the instruments used were valid and reliable. The results show that reward policies have a significant positive effect on employee work discipline (β = 0.45, p < 0.01), meaning that the better the reward policies implemented, the higher the level of employee work discipline. Punishment policies also have a significant positive effect on employee work discipline (β = 0.35, p < 0.01), indicating that the implementation of firm and fair punishments can improve work discipline. The interaction between reward and punishment policies is not significant (β = 0.10, p > 0.05), suggesting that the combined effect of these policies is not significantly different from the effect of each policy individually. These findings support the motivation and reinforcement theory, which states that positive rewards and negative consequences can influence individual behavior. The practical implications of this research are the importance of designing fair and relevant reward policies and consistently applying punishments to enhance employee work discipline. This study also recommends further research with a qualitative approach and broader scope to deepen the understanding of factors affecting work discipline.

We analyze the impact of board gender diversity on financial reporting quality using Kanter’s framework of group composition. Specifically, we classify boards into skewed, tilted, and balanced categories, and examine how each type influences reporting quality. Using ordinary least squares regression for hypothesis testing and, for robustness, apply critical mass theory and the generalized method of moments estimation. Our findings indicate that gender diversity is positively associated with financial reporting quality. Notably, highest influence is observed in balanced boards with more than 35% female directors. Furthermore, female directors’ presence in audit committee increases financial reporting quality. Overall, our results support Kanter’s framework and critical mass theory, underscoring their significant positive influence.

Aim: to assess the therapeutic attitudes of the healthcare staff towards surgical site infection. Methods: This is a prospective study over a period of seven months (7 months) from September 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019 at the general surgery department of the Regional Hospital of Thies and covering all patients who presented with surgical site infections after elective procedure surgery or emergency procedure. Results: Twenty-nine cases of surgical site infections were collected. These were 16 men and 13 women, for a sex ratio of 1.2. The surgical site infections rate for emergency procedures (20.8%) was higher than the SSI rate for elective procedures (1.8%). The mean age of the patients was 28.9 years. Twenty-six patients were operated on as an emergency (89.7%) and 3 under a regulated program (10.3%). Escherichia coli was the most found strain with 14 cases (46.7%) followed by Enterobacter sp with 6 cases (20%). All infected patients were on triple antibiotic therapy (amoxicillin – metronidazole – gentamicin). In case of surgical site infections, local care was reinforced with a variable daily frequency ranging from one to three depending on the degree of infection of the wound. After obtaining the antibiogram, the same treatment was maintained in 19 cases (65.5%). It was changed in 10 patients (34.5%). The clinical course was good in 27 patients. Conclusion: Surgical site infections constitute a real challenge because of their high frequency and the high resistance of germs to common antibiotics. It is urgent to review the therapeutic protocols in practice in the services. Key words: Infection, wound, surgery, antibiotics, Thies.

Findings: The study reveals that participatory criminal policy significantly enhances the effectiveness of controlling extramarital relationships by incorporating diverse perspectives and resources. It reduces social and psychological harms associated with infidelity by fostering supportive environments and providing necessary resources. Additionally, it improves the satisfaction and well-being of couples through educational and counseling initiatives. However, challenges such as public unawareness, coordination issues among stakeholders, and legal and regulatory weaknesses were identified. Proposed solutions include comprehensive awareness campaigns, regular stakeholder meetings, centralized coordination bodies, and policy reforms. Conclusion: Participatory criminal policy represents a paradigm shift towards more inclusive and collaborative crime prevention strategies. By engaging various stakeholders, it not only addresses the immediate issue of extramarital relationships but also contributes to the broader goal of fostering a culture of crime avoidance and community well-being.

How VC Background and Timing of Entry Become a Booster to Corporate Innovation:The Impact Path of the Capitalization of R&D Expenditure
Authors: Li Xiaoyun
Published: August 2024

Venture capital background and entry timing affect the innovation behavior of firms is widely recognized. Based on the data of A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2021, this paper finds that venture capital with foreign investment background plays a more significant role in improving the innovation performance of firms. Venture capital in the initial stage and development stage can promote firm innovation to a certain extent, and the venture capital entered in the expansion period will inhibit the innovation of firms. When venture capital has the background of foreign capital or enters in the development period, the capitalization of R&D expenditure plays a partial intermediary role between venture capital and firm innovation. To improve innovation performance, it is necessary to reasonably introduce foreign capital, encourage venture capital to enter in the development period of firms, and give full play to the positive signal role of capitalization of firm R&D expenditure.
