The aim of this study is to examine the impact of financial literary on financial planning and control in Indonesian Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The mediating effect of proactive employees was also investigated. Data were collected from survey that involved 157 owners of MSMEs in Bantul District, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Using Partial Least Square (PLS), this study found that financial behavior affects proactive employees, and proactive employees has significant impact on financial planning and control among the studied MSMEs. Besides, the results of this study confirm the mediating role of proactive employee on the relationship between financial literacy and financial planning and control level in MSMEs.
Objective: Excessive use of MSG in everyday life can cause infertility to men. Exposure to MSG can cause cells to experience oxidative stress which subsequently triggers the generation of free radicals. Free radicals can be resisted with antioxidants. Material & Methods: This research was a laboratory experimental test with a post-test only control group design using male mice as the experimental object. The statistical test used the One Way ANOVA test. Results: In this research, 5 male mice were assigned into 4 groups and 1 control group. Using the One Way ANOVA test, it was found that there were significant differences in ≥ 2 treatment groups in the motility group of spermatozoa with active movement (p < 0.001) and the motility group of spermatozoa with weak movement (p = 0.036). The two groups showed significant differences. The Post hoc LSD test in the motility group with active movement showed significant differences between the control group with MSG treatment (p < 0.001) and the treatment group given Moringa leaves extract of 600 mg/kgW (p < 0.001) and 1200 mg/kgW (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Moringa leaves extract can effect the improvement of the motility of spermatozoa exposed to monosodium glutamate at a given dose of 300 mg/kgW and 600 mg/kgW.
Objective: This research aims to identify factors influencing the degree of erectile dysfunction in bicycle racing athletes. Material & Methods: This study used quantitative analysis and cross-sectional research design. Samples included in this research were 54 respondents in accordance to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study, and were willing to participate in this research. The data were collected using the IIEF-5 (International Index of Erectile Function-5) questionnaire. The data were then edited, coded and analyzed using Chi-square (bivariate analysis). Results: The results showed correlations between the degree of erectile dysfunction in bicycle race athletes and age (PR= 1.182; 95%CI= 0.403-3.465; p= 0.976), cycling history (PR= 0.462; 95% CI= 0.490-4363; p= 0.687), cycling frequency (PR=1.400; 95% CI= 0.299-6.560; p= 0.72), cycling duration (PR= 0.333; 95% CI= 0.074-1.507; p= 0.165), furthest cycling distance (PR= 0.883; 95% CI= 0.267-2.919; p= 1.00), and type of saddle (PR= 0.271; 95% CI= 0.481-1.547; p= 0.221) respectively. Conclusion: There were no significant correlation (p= >0.05) in all variables analyzed in this study.
BACKGROUND: Obstructive uropathy and hydronephrosis are common complications of cervical cancer. In order to provide an alternative route due to ureteral obstruction, urinary diversion was performed. Urinary diversion procedures are a therapeutic option for obstructive uropathy but their effectiveness is remain unclear. There is limited data that support urinary diversion as a treatment of ureteral obstruction to improve overall survival and progression-free survival. AIM: To determine the effectiveness of urinary diversion in the treatment of obstructive uropathy in cervical cancer patients. METHOD: This study is a cross sectional involved cervical cancer patients with symptoms of obstructive uropathy. Data were obtained from medical records and limited to patients admitted from May, 2020 to May, 2021. Primary outcome was urea level, creatinine level, stage of hydronephrosis and overall survival rate of patients. RESULT: A total of 100 patients were included in the study. In both groups, the mean age of study subjects was 52-53 years with stage IIIB being the most widely reported. There was an improvement in post creatinine in the urinary diversion group. There was a significant difference in post creatinine levels between the non-urine diversion and urinary diversion groups (p=0.039).The 12-month survival rate, in the non-urinary diversion group had a value of 86% while the urinary diversion group had a value of 94%. CONCLUSION: This study shows that urinary diversion procedure is effective in increasing the renal function and increasing the 12-month survival of cervical cancer patients with obstructive uropathy.
