Faktor penentu penyaluran Kredit Usaha Rakyat di Bank Pembangunan Daerah Kalimantan Tengah
Authors: Pramudyawardani Nadia Intan , Hakim Abdul 
Published: February 2024

Purpose – This research models the behavior of distributing people's business credit by the Central Kalimantan Regional Development Bank.Methods – This research estimates an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and a conditional error correction model (conditional ECM) to model time series data.Findings – The ARDL model estimation results suggest that variables that influence KUR distribution are Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). The conditional ECM model for long-term variables confirms these results.Implication - The estimation results suggest that the bank's internal variables, namely CAR and LDR, have an influence on KUR distribution. In contrast, external factors, namely Non Performing Loan (NPL), have no effect. Thus, if the government wants to increase the number of KURs, the government can help make the banks healthier.Originality – This paper is the first to analyze KUR distribution at the Central Kalimantan Regional Development Bank, especially using the conditional ECM model.
AbstrakTujuan – Penelitian ini memodelkan perilaku penyaluran kredit usaha rakyat oleh Bank Pembangunan Daerah Kalimantan Tengah. Metode – Penelitian ini mengestimasi model Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) dan model koreksi kesalahan bersyarat (conditional ECM) untuk memodelkan data time series.Temuan – Hasil estimasi model ARDL menyarankan bahwa variabel-variabel mempengaruhi penyaluran KUR adalah Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) dan Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR). Hasil ini terkonfirmasi oleh model conditional ECM untuk variabel-variabel jangka panjang.Implikasi – hasil estimasi menyarankan bahwa variabel internal bank, yakni CAR dan LDR, berpengaruh terhadap penyaluran KUR, sementara faktor eksternal, yakni Non Performing Loan (NPL), tidak berpengaruh. Dengan demikian, jika pemerintah ingin meningkatkan jumlah KUR, pemerintah bisa membantu menyehatkan bank tersebut.Orisinalitas – Paper ini merupakan paper pertama yang menganalisis penyaluran KUR di Bank Pembangunan Daerah Kalimantan Tengah, terutama yang menggunakan model conditional ECM.

Published: February 2024

<p>Air limbah industri tahu perlu diolah terlebih dahulu hingga memenuhi baku mutu yang ditetapkan sebelum dibuang ke lingkungan masyarakat luas. Hal ini disebabkan air limbah industri tahu banyak mengandung polutan organik yang cukup tinggi. Pengolahan limbah cair tahu dapat dilakukan dengan penambahan probiotik yang mengandung mikroorganisme yang berfungsi untuk merombak kandungan organik maupun zat yang ada pada limbah. Pada penelitian ini, peneliti ingin menggunakan probiotik berupa produk probiotik lokal untuk ditambahkan pada limbah tahu. Penambahan probiotik pada limbah air tahu dapat mengetahui petumbuhan mikroorganisme yang non probiotik dan probiotik pada campuran tersebut. Analisis data yang dilakukan merupakan analisis statiska dengan observasi di laboratorium. Penyajian data juga merupakan data statistik dengan menggunakanmetode grafik yang dapat memperlihatkan hasil perbedaan petumbuhan populasi bakteri pada air limbah industri tahu maupun pada campuran air limbah industri tahu dengan bakteri probiotik lokal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan maupun penurunan terhadap pertumbuhan populasi bakteri baik pada air limbah tahu murni maupun pada pencampuran bakteri probiotik. Populasi bakteri pada air limbah industri tahu murni( non probiotik) pada pengamatan waktu 0,1,3,5,dan 7 jam cenderung mengalami penurunan pertumbuhan. Pada perbandingan 1:1 dan 1:4 cenderung mengalami penurunan pertumbuhan karena jumlah keseluruhan bakterinya berkurang dalam derajat pembelahan sel dan nutrisi yang ada lebih sedikit dalam untuk pembelahan sel. Sedangkan pada perbandingan 1:2 dan 1:3 cenderung mengalami peningkatan pertumbuhan karena jumlah keluruhan bakterinya sama dalam derajat pembelahan sel dan juga nutrisi yang ada cukup untuk pembelahan sel.</p>

Published: February 2024

Objectives. To evaluate symptomatology and clinical outcomes among treatment-seeking health care workers (HCWs). We examined engagement, presenting symptomatology, and treatment outcomes among a diverse group of HCWs in a large urban health system. Methods. Demographic and pretreatment–posttreatment outcome data were available for 69 HCWs who sought cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with or without medication management, at a specialized clinical center from July 1, 2020, to April 25, 2022. Results. Treatment-seeking HWCs predominantly identified as female (78.3%) and non-White (53.6%) and had a mean age of 36.33 ± 10.72 years. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests showed significant reductions in all symptoms and increased well-being ( P < .001), with effect sizes ranging from 0.59 to 0.71. Conclusions. Our findings replicate those of existing research on the prevalence of psychiatric distress among HCWs, uniquely focusing on those seeking care. Our outcome data suggest that short-term CBT is effective in reducing clinical symptoms and increasing HCW well-being. Public Health Implications. Given the elevated rates of distress found in HCW surveys, evidence-based interventions such as ours are essential to ensure workforce well-being. Providing mental health care to HCWs has both individual benefits and potential implications for improved patient care and workforce retention.

The enclosure culture i.e. pen culture for in situ raising of stocking material was demonstratedin the Loni wetland, a sub-tropical wetland of Bundelkhand region in central India. Penstocked with 20000 fry of Indian major carps (IMCs), catla, rohu and mrigal in the ratio 1:2:1with initial weight 2.1, 2.83 and 2.82 g respectively @20 m2. The experiment was conductedduring September 2018 to November 2018 for two months. Catla, rohu and mrigal exhibitedsubstantial difference (p<0.05) in the growth pattern during the study with catla growingfrom 2.1±0.21 to 24.25±2.12 g, rohu from 2.83±0.25 to 19.58±1.81g whereas mrigal from2.82±0.23 to 15.42±1.10 g. The specific growth rate (SGR) recorded was 124.6, 108.9 and82.43% in catla, rohu and mrigal, respectively. The survival rate was maximum in rohu (76%),followed by catla (68%) and mrigal (42%). The benefit to cost ratio (BCR) estimated was 1.69and proportion of return on investment was 0.69. Through this intervention, the productivityof fish yield reached up to 450 kg ha-1 yr-1 from 165 kg ha-1 yr-1 which can be further increasedmanifolds. Based on the results of the present experiment, it can be suggested that rearing ofIMC fry to fingerlings in pen enclosures in wetlands is technically feasible and economicallyviable.

Salt fermentation is a preservation technique in which higher salt concentrations areintroduced to inhibit the growth of most spoilage microbes. This process takes severalmonths to attain maturity. The present study was designed to accelerate the fermentationrate and shorten the maturation time employing the haloarchaeal strain Halobacteriumsalinarum (HS1). H. salinarum was inoculated in the salt fermentation medium and thefermentation time and quality were compared to the control salt fermentation withoutinoculation of HS1. The lot inoculated with HS1 matured by the 60th day with higher sensoryscores, whereas the control (C) took 120 days for maturation, indicating that the saltfermentation process can be accelerated using haloarchaea. The final moisture contentat the end of 120 days in the control and HS1 were 56.31 and 56.78% respectively. pHshowed decreasing trend initially and was found to be stable in later phases. Protein contentreduced from 24.29 to 18.95% and 15.03% in control and HS1 respectively. Fat contentfluctuated throughout the fermentation period (6.99 to 8.81%) showing an increasingpattern initially and then a reduction during later stages of fermentation. Trimethylamine(TMA, 3.12 to 14.09 mg%), total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN, 18.23 to 38.35 mg%),alpha-amino nitrogen (AAN, 31.87 to 126.43 mg%) and non-protein nitrogen (NPN,0.18 to 0.83%) contents increased throughout the salt fermentation process but werefound to be within limits suggesting controlled degradation. Present results suggest thatH. salinarum (HS1) as a starter culture can accelerate salt fermentation and maturation canbe attained by 60 days compared to 120 days of maturation time taken by control without HS1.

Methodology for Calculating Additional Dynamic Settlements of the Bases of Slab Foundations of Buildings and Structures from Vibrations Propagating in the Soil Environment
Authors: Povkolas K. E. 
Published: February 2024

The paper provides a method for calculating additional settlements of slab foundations of existing buildings and structures from vibration-dynamic influences that arise during various construction works near them (driving piles, vibra- tory driving of sheet piling beams, soil compaction with heavy rammers and vibrating hammers), as well as from industrial equipment and transport. The technique includes the following main steps. Using the finite element method, or measured existing vibration fields, the distribution of the maximum accelerations of ground vibrations under the base of the foundation along the depth is determined and the zone in which they exceed the critical accelerations at which volumetric and shear deformations of the soil begin to appear is identified. The soil at the base of the foundation is divided into elementary layers with a thickness of no more than 1/4 of the width of the foundation. Further, according to the known vibration-compression depen-dencies (the dependence of the change in the porosity coefficient e of soil samples on the acceleration of their vibrations a), which are obtained in laboratory conditions, the settlements of each layer are determined, the summation of which gives the total value of the additional dynamic settlement Sд. If it, together with the static settlement Sст, exceeds the maximum normalized settlement values, it is proposed to use three methods to reduce or eliminate Sд – drilling injection strengthening of the zone of development of additional settlements, the use of a horizontal inertial plate or a vertical barrier made of easily compressible materials in the path of vibration propagation, the use of which reduces the intensity of vibration-dynamic impacts transmitted to the foundations under consideration.

Published: February 2024

The background of this study originated from the found lack of politeness value of students in class IX MTsN 2 Ponorogo. From the results of observations that have been carried out previously, researchers found several students who behave rudely and speak impolitely, ethics in madrasa students have not been fully implemented, lack of friendly attitudes and respectful attitudes, some students lack a caring attitude towards their surroundings. This study aims to describe the internalization of the 3S school culture (Senyum, Sapa, and Salam) in increasing the value of politeness at MTsN 2 Ponorogo. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study research type. While the data analysis technique used is the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana method which consists of 4 stages, namely data collection, data condensation, data presentation, and verification. The results of the study found that 1) the internalization of 3S culture at MTsN 2 Ponorogo begins with habituation. All madrasah residents are accustomed to implementing a culture of smiles, greetings, and greetings while in the madrasah environment. 2) The inhibiting factors for the internalization of the 3S culture are the effectiveness of teachers who are not optimal, environmental factors and peers. While the supporting factors are cooperation and support from madrasah stakeholders and parents who participate in assisting in the implementation of the program. 3) The impact of internalizing the 3S culture is the behavior of madrasah residents who increasingly show exemplary and as expected.

Abstract
Pupil size primarily changes to regulate the amount of light entering the retina, optimizing the balance between visual acuity and sensitivity for effective visual processing. However, research directly examining the relationship between pupil size and visual processing has been limited. While a few studies have recorded pupil size and EEG signals to investigate the role of pupil size in visual processing, these studies have predominantly focused on the domain of visual sensitivity. Causal effects of pupil size on visual acuity, therefore, remain poorly understood. By manipulating peripheral background luminance levels and target stimulus contrast while simultaneously recording pupillometry and EEG signals, we examined how absolute pupil size impacts visual discrimination and visually evoked potentials (VEP) in a task mimicking the Snellen eye chart, the most common assessment of visual acuity. Our findings indicate that both higher background luminance levels and higher target contrast were associated with improved target discrimination and faster correct reaction times. Moreover, while higher contrast visual stimuli evoked larger VEPs, the effects of pupil size on VEPs were not significant. Additionally, we did not observe inter-individual correlations between absolute pupil size and discrimination performance or VEP amplitude. Together, our results demonstrate that absolute pupil size, regulated by global luminance level, played a functional role in enhancing visual discrimination performance in a Snellen eye chart task. The differential VEP effects of pupil size compared to those of stimulus contrast further suggested distinct neural mechanisms involved in facilitating visual acuity under small pupils.

Abstract
Background
Without surgical repair, flexor tendon injuries do not heal and patients’ ability to bend fingers and grip objects is impaired. However, flexor tendon repair surgery also requires optimal rehabilitation. There are currently three custom-made splints used in the rehabilitation of zone I/II flexor tendon repairs, each with different assumed harm/benefit profiles; the dorsal forearm and hand-based splint (long), the Manchester short splint (short), and the relative motion flexion splint (mini). There is, however, no robust evidence as to which splint, if any, is most clinical or cost effective. The flexor injury rehabilitation splint trial (FIRST) was designed to address this evidence gap.
Methods
FIRST is a parallel group, superiority, analyst-blind, multi-centre, individual participant-randomised controlled trial. Participants will be assigned 1:1:1 to receive either the long, short or mini splint. We aim to recruit 429 participants undergoing rehabilitation following zone I/II flexor tendon repair surgery. Potential participants will initially be identified prior to surgery, in NHS hand clinics across the UK, and consented and randomised at their splint fitting appointment post-surgery. The primary outcome will be the mean post-randomisation score on the patient-reported wrist and hand evaluation measure (PRWHE), assessed at 6, 12, 26 and 52 weeks post randomisation. Secondary outcome measures include blinded grip strength and active range of movement (AROM) assessments, adverse events, adherence to the splinting protocol (measured via temperature sensors inserted into the splints), quality of life assessment, and further patient reported outcomes. An economic evaluation will assess the cost-effectiveness of each splint, and a qualitative sub-study will evaluate participants’ preferences for, and experiences of wearing, the splints. Furthermore, a mediation analysis will determine the relationship between patient preferences, splint adherence, and splint effectiveness.
Discussion
FIRST will compare the three splints with respect to clinical efficacy, complications, quality of life and cost-effectiveness. FIRST is a pragmatic trial which will recruit from 26 NHS sites to allow findings to be generalisable to current clinical practice in the UK. It will also provide significant insights into patient experiences of splint wear and how adherence to splinting may impact outcomes.
