ICT and Entrepreneurial Orientation as Drivers of SME Performance: Insights from Padang Pariaman Regency, Indonesia

This study aims to empirically examine the impact of the implementation of information communication and technology (ICT) and entrepreneurship orientation on the performance of SMEs in Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra province of Indonesia. This research uses purposive sampling with a sample of 100 SMEs registered at the Department of Cooperatives and SMEs, Padang Pariaman Regency. The data collection method used in this study was a survey. Questionnaires were distributed by visiting SMEs to their place of business directly. The results empirically prove that ICT and entrepreneurship orientation have a significant effect on the performance of SMEs. This research only uses two independent variables, so it needs additional mediating or moderating variables, such as innovation and learning orientation. Likewise, the respondents of this study were only SMEs in Padang Pariaman Regency with various types of businesses. It is suggested that further research expands research objects such as the provincial level with one SME business. The implementation of ICT can provide benefits for the performance of SMEs in developing businesses and also to be globally competitive.

Risk factors associated with street food consumption in Dhaka city due to faeco-oral parasitic infection in food vendors

Ready to eat foods that are sold in streets and busy public places and popular for their affordability, accessibility and distinct flavour and taste are termed as street foods. Due to their low-income levels, the majority of people in developing countries rely on street food for their daily dietary needs. In Bangladesh, many street food vendors target young school-going children by selling attractive food items in front of schools. To understand the implications of street food consumption in Dhaka city, 200 school-based street food samples and 200 corresponding faecal samples from vendors around 50 schools were analyzed using the Formal-ether concentration method from September 2021 to June 2022. 10 parasite species (Entamoeba histolytica, Blastocystis hominis, Cystoisospora belli, Diphyllobothrium latum, Hymenolepis diminuta, Hymenolepis nana, Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis, Trichuris trichiura, Ancylostoma duodenale) were identified by microscopic observation. From food and the corresponding stool samples, 7 parasite species were found. B. hominis caused the greatest proportion of infections (21.5 %), followed by C. belli (20.5 %), A. lumbricoides (17 %), D. latum (4.5 %), H. nana (3 %), T. trichiura (2.5 %) and E. histolytica (0.5 %). Statistical analysis revealed that city corporation, age, smoking status and use of today’s materials next day (p < 0.05) were associated with parasites present in stool. In the food samples, city corporation, age, use of mask, currently having disease, using today’s materials next day were significantly associated with presence of parasites (p < 0.05). This study is one of the first to correlate the lack of hygienic practices of the food vendors with an increased risk of parasitic infection in the vendors and their street foods resulting the possibility of transmission to the consumers. The study findings indicate the urgent need to ensure food quality.

Sentido y valor de los mercados costeros de lugar en Chile

This article analyses the structural dynamics of social life at five local coastal markets (LCMs) on the Chilean coast (Calbuco, Puerto Montt, Valdivia, Valparaiso and Tongoy). In a semantic narrative framework, we use ethnographic methodology to demonstrate the opacity of local markets—particularly LCMs—in terms of economic and community life. Opacity is a social condition. However, the background reveals profound significance that bears witness to and partially portrays the complexity of markets as places of business, livelihood, life projects and social mobility, where individuality is necessarily intertwined with the community. Our conclusions show that these LCMs go beyond the orthodox definitions that reduce the economy (and the markets themselves) to cost-benefit-motivated interactions between individual agents. Instead, markets go against the grain of this instrumental reductionism and offer remarkable potential for re-thinking, imagining, constructing and co-constructing areas (coastal areas in our analysis) based on collective experience.

Review of Slum Management Policies in Urban Areas

Urban slum areas in Indonesia began to feel very disruptive to city mechanisms and dynamics in the late 70s, so the government launched Village Improvement programs such as the Moh Slum Improvement Program. Husni Thamrin in Jakarta, Dewi Sartika Village Improvement Program in Bandung, and other village improvements carried out in big cities in Indonesia. While these programs have not been able to solve existing problems, city dynamics are running so fast, especially after reform. The development of cities with very high population pressure is beyond the government's ability to control them. On the other hand, the need for employment and business is very large due to the financial crisis and the phenomenon of job cuts (PHK), because many companies are going bankrupt. This problem must be borne by the city ecosystem which has many limitations. People in every city, because they are pressured by the necessities of life, can do business in urban areas wherever they think there is a chance to live. In this situation, the growth of slum areas in urban areas not only occurs in residential areas, but also occurs in business areas and along road routes which are still possible to use as places of business and residence. Of course, this cannot be tolerated, and the government needs to respond through appropriate policies now and in the future, considering that slum areas are now evenly distributed to all cities in Indonesia and not only in big cities.

Enhancing Economic, Social, and Ecological Resilience Through Sustainable Waterfront Development in Penang

The global economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted development across various regions, including Penang, where supply chain disruptions, restricted cash flow, and delayed progress have led to reduced economic growth for stakeholders and communities alike. This study aims to explore the interconnected economic, social, and ecological (ESE) systems within the context of sustainable waterfront development in Penang, focusing on how these systems contribute to economic resilience and dynamism. The land and water resources of Penang, strategically situated along vital maritime routes, present substantial potential for economic revitalization. A quantitative research approach was employed, gathering data from questionnaire surveys, revealing a positive correlation between ESE variables. Key attributes such as local authority governance, development scale and impact, business operations, place identity, heritage preservation, and waste management were found to play crucial roles in shaping sustainable waterfront initiatives. The study highlights that Penang’s core economic sectors—agriculture, mining and quarrying, manufacturing, construction, and services—have historically driven the local economy, but the growing focus on waterfront development offers new avenues for economic recovery and growth. The results validate the chosen quantitative methodology and underscore the importance of adopting integrated strategies to address land and water management challenges. By aligning with sustainability goals and adopting a holistic approach, Penang's waterfront development can foster resilience, ensuring long-term socio-economic and ecological balance. The insights provided contribute to a broader understanding of sustainable urban development and offer actionable strategies for policymakers and stakeholders involved in Penang's waterfront projects.

An inventory-routing optimization model for pharmaceutical supply chain with time-dependent travel time on a multi-graph network: a case study

PurposeSpurred by the high turnover in the pharmaceutical industry, locating pharmacies inside urban areas along with the high product perishability in this industry, the pharmaceutical supply chain management has recently gained increasing attention. Accordingly, this paper unveils an inventory-routing problem for designing a pharmaceutical supply chain with perishable products and time-dependent travel time in an uncertain environment.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, mathematical programming is employed to formulate a multi-graph network affected by the traffic volume in order to adapt to real-world situations. Likewise, by transforming the travel speed function to the travel time function using a step-by-step algorithm, the first-in-first-out property is warranted. Moreover, the Box–Jenkins forecasting method is employed to diminish the demand uncertainty.FindingsAn appealing result is that the delivery horizon constraint in the under-study multi-graph network may eventuate in selecting a longer path. Our analysis also indicates that the customers located in the busy places in the city are not predominantly visited in the initial and last delivery horizon, which are the rush times. Moreover, it is concluded that integrating disruption management, routing planning and inventory management in the studied network leads to a reduction of costs in the long term.Originality/valueApplying the time-dependent travel time with a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles on the multi-graph network, considering perishability in the products for reducing inventory costs, considering multiple trips of transfer fleet, considering disruption impacts on supply chain components and utilizing the Box–Jenkins method to reduce uncertainty are the contributions of the present study.

The Role of the Balanced Scorecard in Strategic Cost Management and Strategic Performance Evaluation (An Applied Study in the Middle East Investment Bank)

The balanced score card technique is among the modern strategic techniques in the field of cost and administration that aims to evaluate the strategic performance of economic units due to their reliance on financial and non-financial indicators. Therefore, this research aims to highlight the role of the balanced scorecard technique in evaluating strategic performance compared to the traditional systems that are used in this field, as the latter rely on financial indicators only. The research reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which is that the balanced scorecard technique plays a major role in evaluating strategic performance, surpassing the performance evaluation process that is carried out under traditional systems related to this matter, whose scope of work is narrow because it relies only on financial indicators. Therefore, the most important recommendations of the research indicate the importance of the balanced score card technique in evaluating strategic performance in light of the developments taking place in business. The Iraqi economic units suffer from a lack of interest in applying modern techniques related to cost and administrative accounting, including the balanced score card.

Drone Technology and it’s Application

Drones were first used by the military, but now they're not just for the army – they're for regular folks too. People started using them in the 2000s, and they're not just for serious stuff like analyzing power system faults. Now, we call them drones, and they're like flying robots. You can use them for all kinds of fun things like taking cool pictures, exploring hard-to- reach places, and even joining drone competitions. They've become a big deal on social media and in business competitions. Lately, smart people are working on making tiny drones that can fly by themselves, especially in indoor spaces. The good news is that the parts that make drones work, like tiny computers, sensors, batteries, and ways for them to talk wirelessly, are getting smaller and cheaper. So, soon, we might see small drones everywhere, doing all sorts of stuff in our daily lives at prices we can all afford. But, as drones become more popular, there are some worries. Imagine if someone used a drone to spy on you in your private space – that's not cool! And when drones fly in busy places like cities and airports, there could be problems. That's why we need rules and checks to make sure things don't go wrong. So, while drones are super cool and fun, we also need to make sure everyone stays safe and feels secure.
