One of the ways to improve people’s welfare can be done by improving the performance of small and medium scale bussinesses because MSMEs is a place for most people to fulfill their daily needs. This reaserch was conducted with the aim pf knowing whether the ability to compile financial reports, financial literacy and the use of infrmation technology can have an influence on the performace of MSMEs. This Research is classified as a quantitative research by utilizing data obtained from 100 respondents consisting of MSMEss Players. The data collection stage was carried out with instruments in the form of questionnaires and test. The classical assumption test uses the normality test, multicolonierity and heteroscedasticity. The Analytical method used is descriptive analysis and inferential analysis, including multile linear regression comparison analysis. The research that has been carried put has resulted in (1) the abily to compile financial reports, financial literacy and the use of information technology jointly influene the performance of MSMEs in Babat distrct. (2) the ability to compile financial statements has a positive and significant effect is 0.006. (3) financial literacy has a positive effect with significance is 0.000. (4) the use of information technology has a positive effect with a significance is 0.000
Lipochitin oligosaccharides (LCOs) are signaling molecules required by ecologically and agronomically important bacteria and fungi to establish symbioses with diverse land plants. In plants, oligo-chitins and LCOs can differentially interact with different lysin motif (LysM) receptors and affect innate immunity responses or symbiosis-related pathways. In animals, oligo-chitins also induce innate immunity and other physiological responses but LCO recognition has not been demonstrated. Here LCO and LCO-like compounds are shown to be biologically active in mammals in a structure dependent way through the modulation of angiogenesis, a tightly-regulated process involving the induction and growth of new blood vessels from existing vessels. The testing of 24 LCO, LCO-like or oligo-chitin compounds resulted in structure-dependent effects on angiogenesis in vitro leading to promotion, or inhibition or nil effects. Like plants, the mammalian LCO biological activity depended upon the presence and type of terminal substitutions. Un-substituted oligo-chitins of similar chain lengths were unable to modulate angiogenesis indicating that mammalian cells, like plant cells, can distinguish between LCOs and un-substituted oligo-chitins. The cellular mode-of-action of the biologically active LCOs in mammals was determined. The stimulation or inhibition of endothelial cell adhesion to vitronectin or fibronectin correlated with their pro- or anti-angiogenic activity. Importantly, novel and more easily synthesised LCO-like disaccharide molecules were also biologically active and de-acetylated chitobiose was shown to be the primary structural basis of recognition. Given this, simpler chitin disaccharides derivatives based on the structure of biologically active LCOs were synthesised and purified and these showed biological activity in mammalian cells. Since important chronic disease states are linked to either insufficient or excessive angiogenesis, LCO and LCO-like molecules may have the potential to be a new, carbohydrate-based class of therapeutics for modulating angiogenesis.
Twitter selain sebagai media sosial untuk berinteraksi dengan teman di dunia maya ternyata juga bisa menjadi suatu media untuk melakukan penelitian. Banyak peneliti menjadikan twitter sebagai wadah untuk melakukan penelitian baik berupa Social Network Analysis ataupun Analisis Sentimen. Dompet elektronik merupakan salah satu hasil perkembangan teknologi bidang transaksi online. Kompleksitas kegiatan masyarakat membuat mereka mencari suatu media pembayaran yang cepat dan aman. Perekembangan Dompet Elektronik di Indonesia bisa dibilang sangat pesat, karena semakin banyaknya masyarakat yang menggunakan dompet elektronik seperti Dana, OVO dan Go-Pay. Banyaknya tawaran keuntungan menjadi nilai lebih bagi masyarakat untuk menggunakan Dompet Elektronik tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa tanggapan masyarakat atas hadirnya berbagai aplikasi dompet elektronik di Indonesia dengan mengklasifikasikannya kedalam tiga kelas yakni positif, negatif dan netral dengan menggunakan metode Naïve Bayes dan menggunakan perangkat lunak Rapidminer untuk menganalisisa suatu sentiment ataupun sejenisnya dengan melewati suatu proses preprocessing. Data diperoleh secara langsung dari situs microblogging Twitter dengan hashtag pencarian #GoPay, #OVO dan #DANA, dari data tersebut, diambil 100 data dengan rincian 70 data latih dan 30 data uji. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa analisis sentimen pada dompet elektronik GoPay lebih banyak dinilai positif oleh pengguna twitter yaitu sebesar 46,67% diikuti oleh Dana sebesar 37,50% dan OVO sebesar 16,67%. Dompet elektronik OVO memiliki nilai negatif yang lebih tinggi yaitu sebesar 63,33% diikuti oleh GoPay sebesar 53,33% dan Dana sebesar 30,00%. Penelitian ini memberikan bukti empiris dan merekomendasikan kepada masyarakat untuk lebih menggunakan GoPay kegiatan jual beli dikehidupan sehari-hari.
Sustainable agriculture can be achieved by upcycling and repurposing organic wastes for high-value applications. Keratin and cellulose are two natural biopolymers which are plentiful in biowastes such as hair, poultry feathers, wood shavings, and vegetable trimmings. In this study, these waste-derived biopolymers are converted into bioactive nutrient substrates that can support crop development in hydroponic culture systems. Keratin extracted from human hair (HHK) and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) obtained from wood pulp were fabricated into composite substrates by freeze-drying. The substrates exhibited highly microporous structures, superior hydrophilicity, and excellent mechanical resilience. The obtained substrates not only serve as a physical carrier to support seed germination and seedling development but also function as advanced nutrient delivery platforms by the incorporation and controlled release of micronutrient-doped carbon dots, in addition to keratin degradation. Functional experiments using the model plant Arabidopsis and crops including Bok Choy (Brassica rapa) and Arugula (Eruca vesicaria) indicated that these substrates have the potential to be customized for enhanced seedling development in comparison to conventional substrates. This study demonstrates the feasibility and potential of upcycling and repurposing keratinous and cellulosic wastes to provide a sustainable solution for targeted nutrient delivery to crops.
