Quali Coffee Roastery: Asesmen Alienasi Budaya Organisasi Pemanggang Kopi Gelombang Ketiga berbasis Kapitalis/Laba

The “assessment” & “alienation assessment” examination method, which analyzes how gift-exchange values shape the value of a commodity in the capitalist economic mode – focuses on analyzing “gift-giving” patterns that occur within the “supply chain” as well as the relationships between business owners, labor and commodity in the so-called “impersonal and capitalist mode”. Through ethnographic research on the third wave cultured coffee roasting business entity of "Quali Coffee Roastery", alienation and non-alienating values can also be analyzed in the capitalistic commodity production, distribution and supply chain of third wave coffee. Results from this article shows that a third wave coffee capitalist/profit-oriented organization is able to consciously determine which factors of production and distribution that can be alienated or non-alienated in its commodity production activities. Organizational culture & leadership concept presences are crucial in the deciding occurrence of alienation/non alienation pattern on one actor part of the capitalist-mode business supply chain.

The Question of Quality Ordering of Health Commodities in Tanga Region, IMPACT Approach Becomes Relevant Driver to the Answers

The effective delivery of integrated health services depends on the extent to which the six pillars of a health system as recommended by WHO are adhered to such as adequate human resources for health, service delivery, financing, health system governance, information, quality medicines and technologies. However, to improve supply chain management leading to uninterrupted supply of medicines and other health commodities, the use of data to inform all parts of the health supply chain logistics system, that include product selection, forecasting, quantification, procurement, storage and finally distribution of health commodities, is very important. Previously, Tanga Region had been facing a number of health supply chain issues such as delays in reportingfrom health facilities, a high number of orders for overstocked and no-demand health commodities, unnecessary higher expenditure on health commodities and a high rejection rate for the same R&R rejection reasons. Soon after the introduction of the IMPACT approach in the region, the IMPACT team at the regional level adopted some innovative data-driven strategies at its regular meetingssuch as regular data extraction and analysis to review indicators, monitoring timeliness of reporting as well as data quality, monitoring stock orders to avoid expiry dates, and sharing feedback with councils to take action to address identified gaps. These efforts resulted into decrease in the values of reordered overstocked and not in demand health commodities, massive improvement in terms of reporting timeliness from 76% in January 2022 to 99% in January 2023 and slight increase in the availability of essential health commodities. This study found that improving reporting timeliness and supply chain data quality is a cornerstone towards uninterrupted supply of health commodities and reduced health commodities wastages. Since IMPACT Team techniques has been vital in the identified supply chain improvements then it is an approach that can be applied to improve other supply chain indicators and reduce wastages. Despite the marginal improvement in the availability of health commodities, this study recommends the use of facility formulary-based approach in the calculation of health commodities availability to increase the validity of the results.

Mediating effect of integrated health commodities procurement system on the relationship between responsiveness and health service delivery

PurposeThe problems that face health service delivery across different countries are compounded by financial, political, institutional and technical deficiencies. Yet, the role of technological aspects in the procurement of health commodities and health service delivery system requires in-depth exploration. This study bridges this gap by examining the mediating effect of an integrated health commodities procurement system on the relationship between responsiveness and health service delivery.Design/methodology/approachData for this study were collected from 274 respondents, comprising procurement staff and pharmacists using a cross-sectional questionnaire survey. A total of 28 government-owned hospitals from 6 regions in the Southern Highland of Tanzania were sampled for observation. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used for data analysis.FindingsThe results of the study revealed a positive and significant relationship between responsiveness and integrated health commodities procurement system (β = 0.572, p < 0.001). Responsiveness positively and significantly affects health service delivery (β = 0.175, p = 0.004). The results also show that integrated health commodities procurement system is positive and significantly related to health service delivery (β = 0.264, p < 0.001). Lastly, the bootstrapping confidence intervals revealed that an integrated health commodities procurement system significantly mediates the relationship between responsiveness and health service delivery.Practical implicationsTo strengthen the health service delivery system, the study recommends enforcing internal control mechanisms and supporting policies that will monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the integrated health commodities procurement system and service practitioners' responsiveness. Moreover, health service managers should ensure that the planning, procurement and distribution of health commodities are fully and effectively integrated at each node of the health supply chain.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the body of knowledge which examines the efficacy of health service delivery from procurement perspective. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first study that offers empirical evidence for the mediating effect of integrated health commodities procurement system on the link between responsiveness and health service delivery.

Challenges in last mile distribution of family planning commodities: Effects on product availability and accessibility in Nigeria.

Family planning (FP) reduces maternal and child mortality risk. Despite policies and plans to improve FP in Nigeria, access remains poor leading to high unmet need. Contraceptive use is still as low as 4.9% in some regions. Thus, this study assessed challenges in FP commodities distribution and its effect on accessibility. Descriptive survey was used to explore last mile distribution of FP commodities in 287 facilities across various levels of FP service provision. Also, 2528 end users of FP services were assessed to ascertain their attitudes towards FP services. Data were analysed using IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25. Only 16% of the facilities had all the basic infrastructure requirements assessed with majority of the facilities having inadequate human resource capacity on logistics and supply chain management of health commodities. The study also identified positive attitudes towards FP (80%) and low incidence of stigmatising attitudes (5.4%). The study identified challenges in distribution of FP commodities including frequent stock out of commodities and socio-cultural barriers. Increased positive attitude and limited stigmatising attitudes provides policy directions that are relevant for decision makers to align FP policies and strategies to improve last mile distribution of FP commodities.

Analysis and Testing Using Boundary Value Analysis Methods for Geographic Information System

Perusahaan Daerah Perkebunan (PDP) Kahyangan is a Regional Owned Enterprise (BUMD) in Jember. It was formed to realize the welfare of the community. Based on interviews, PDP’s given profit contribution has declined in recent years due to the absence of good management of its potential. As a result of the challenges, it can be determined that PDP Jember requires a management system that can assist in acquiring data on the distribution of plantation and forestry land commodities in Jember, as well as mapping existing commodities using GIS. The method would test the suitability between the application’s purpose and the functions in the GIS. Software Testing is the process of implementing a program that aims to find an error in the application. The testing technique is called Boundary Value Analysis (BVA) method. BVA is a black box testing technique that aims to test the input value by determining the upper and lower limit values for each input data. Other diagrams in UML are considered to evaluate the application’s complete functionality. The test results give the GIS application a good standard and software quality before being launched or provided to users.

Community case management of malaria in Western Kenya: performance of community health volunteers in active malaria case surveillance

BackgroundIn western Kenya, not all malaria cases are reported as stipulated in the community case management of malaria (CCMm) strategy. This underreporting affects the equity distribution of malaria commodities and the evaluation of interventions. The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of community health volunteers’ active case detection and management of malaria in western Kenya.MethodsCross-sectional active case detection (ACD) of malaria survey was carried out between May and August 2021 in three eco-epidemiologically distinct zones in Kisumu, western Kenya: Kano Plains, Lowland lakeshore and Highland Plateau. The CHVs conducted biweekly ACD of malaria household visits to interview and examine residents for febrile illness. The Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) performance during the ACD of malaria was observed and interviews done using structured questionnaires.ResultsOf the total 28,800 surveyed, 2597 (9%) had fever and associated malaria symptoms. Eco-epidemiological zones, gender, age group, axillary body temperature, bed net use, travel history, and survey month all had a significant association with malaria febrile illness (p < 0.05). The qualification of the CHV had a significant influence on the quality of their service. The number of health trainings received by the CHVs was significantly related to the correctness of using job aid (χ2 = 6.261, df = 1, p = 0.012) and safety procedures during the ACD activity (χ2 = 4.114, df = 1, p = 0.043). Male CHVs were more likely than female CHVs to correctly refer RDT-negative febrile residents to a health facility for further treatment (OR = 3.94, 95% CI = 1.85–5.44, p < 0.0001). Most of RDT-negative febrile residents who were correctly referred to the health facility came from the clusters with a CHV having 10 years of experience or more (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.05–1.57, p = 0.016). Febrile residents in clusters managed by CHVs with more than 10 years of experience (OR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.43–2.31, p < 0.0001), who had a secondary education (OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.27–1.85, p < 0.0001), and were over the age of 50 (OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.18–1.76, p < 0.0001), were more likely to seek malaria treatment in public hospitals. All RDT positive febrile residents were given anti-malarial by the CHVs, and RDT negatives were referred to the nearest health facility for further treatment.ConclusionsThe CHV’s years of experience, education level, and age had a significant influence on their service quality. Understanding the qualifications of CHVs can assist healthcare systems and policymakers in designing effective interventions that assist CHVs in providing high-quality services to their communities.

Dynamic spillovers between precious metals and travel & tourism stocks in South-East Asia: do infectious disease outbreaks matter?

The interconnection between travel and leisure industry and precious metals markets has attracted a lot of interest among investors, policy makers, practitioners and market participants. We investigate the role of infectious diseases-based uncertainty on the dynamic connectedness between Southeast Asia travel and tourism stocks indices and four major precious metals namely; gold, silver, palladium, and platinum over the period 31 March 2015 to 5 February 2021. We adopt the time-varying parameter vector autoregressions (TVP-VAR) and the nonparametric causality-in-quantiles approach for its methodological superiority over linear approaches in capturing the presence of causality at different quantiles of the commodity distribution. The following is discernible from our analyses. First, we find strong spillovers between the two markets, implying there are diversification options. Second, silver and platinum are best effective portfolio diversification tools among precious metals. Third, strong evidence of nonlinearity makes it crucial for consideration when examining the role of diseases-based uncertainty in affecting the interactions between travel and tourism stocks and metals markets. Lastly, connectedness between uncertainty due to infectious diseases and the markets is stronger mostly around the lower and normal quantiles. These results have important policy implications for policymakers and market participants.

Double-Network Protein Hydrogels as Flexible Pressure Sensors for Contactless Delivery

To meet the growing demand for sustainable development and ecofriendliness, hydrogels based on biopolymers have attracted widespread attention for developing flexible pressure sensors. Natural globular proteins exhibit great potential for developing biobased pressure sensors owing to their advantages of high water solubility, easy gelation, biocompatibility, and low production cost. However, realizing globular protein hydrogel-based sensors with interfacial and bulk toughness for pressure sensing and use in wearable devices remains a challenge. This study focuses on developing a high-performance flexible pressure sensor based on a biobased protein hydrogel. Consequently, a flexible protein/polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel with a featured double-network (DN) structure linked covalently with hydrogen bonds was first synthesized via a one-pot method based on natural ovalbumin (OVA). The unique DN structure of the as-synthesized OVA/PAM hydrogel affords excellent mechanical performance, flexibility, and adhesion properties. The mechanical properties of the DN hydrogel were enhanced after further cross-linking with Fe3+ and treatment with glycerol. Subsequently, the flexible pressure sensor was constructed by sandwiching a microstructured OVA/PAM dielectric layer between two flexible silver nanowire electrodes. The obtained sensor exhibits a high sensitivity of 2.9 kPa–1 and a short response time of 18 ms, ensuring the ability to monitor physiological signals. Based on its excellent performance, the fabricated sensor was used for monitoring the signals obtained using practical applications such as wrist bending, finger knocking, stretching, international Morse code, and pressure distribution. Particularly, we implemented a contactless delivery system using the fabricated OVA-based pressure sensors linked to unmanned vehicles and global positioning systems, providing a solution for low-risk commodity distribution during Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Reorientation Of Halal Literacy Education Development in The Curriculum of Islamic Educational Institutions: An Alternative Concept

Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 33 Year 2014 on Halal Product Warranty (JPH) mandates the Government that the product circulating in Indonesia is guaranteed halal by the Halal Product Security Organizing Body (BPJPH). Public participation is required in halal product socialization and monitoring. Socialization and education constitute an important task of education institution including madrasah. It is necessary for madrasah as a formal educational institution with Islamic characteristics to enhance its role in disseminating halal product so that students have better awareness on the importance of halal thayyiban products. The socialization and education of halal products will contribute to achieve one of the national educational goals in developing learners’ potentials so that they become the people imbued with human values who are faithful and pious to one and only God; who possess morals and noble character; who are healthy, knowledgeable, competent, creative, independent; and as citizens, are democratic and responsible. To meet the goal, madrasah must respond and play an active role in solving the problems that occur in community, one of which is related to halal product issue. This study is intended to analyze the significance of implementing Halal Education in madrasah. This research applies literature study method. The research findings show that the issue of halal product does not have an adequate portion in Fiqh curriculum. The study of halal product in the curriculum is limited in doctrinaire perspective. The important issues on basic commodity, additives, production process, warehousing packing and halal product distribution need to be conveyed in madrasah education, considering that processed food for children in Indonesia is really complex and require a multi-disciplinary study

Reliability assessment of a stochastic-flow distribution network with carbon emission constraint

• Emission is incorporated into reliability analysis of a distribution network • A new performance indicator is proposed to assess a distribution network • An MP based algorithm is developed to compute the new indicator • A real case study of a fruit distribution network is presented This paper proposes a new reliability assessment for a distribution network with carbon emission constraint where a node represents a supplier, a distribution center, or a market, and an arc connecting a pair of nodes represents a carrier. The available capacity of each carrier (e.g., number of vehicles) is stochastic due to unexpected events. In this sense, such a distribution network is considered to be a stochastic-flow distribution network (SFDN). In addition, transportation emissions that have direct hazardous effects on environment and human health are becoming the major concern in the process of commodity distribution. Thus, SFDN reliability with carbon emission constraint, defined as the probability that the network can successfully deliver a specified quantity of goods from the source to the destination with the total transportation emissions no more than a given limitation, is taken as a key performance indicator for distribution activity. Grounded on minimal paths (MPs), an algorithm is proposed to calculate the new indicator. A simple example is provided to illustrate the procedure, and then, a real fruit distribution network is adopted to demonstrate the utility of the proposed algorithm.

Regulation of trade and supply by the government of general Denikin during the Russian Civil War

The article examines the little-studied problem of state regulation of trade and supply in the territory of the South of Russia in historical and legal science. It is revealed that until the summer of 1919, the Denikin government regulated the commodity distribution sphere based on pre-revolutionary legislation on the grain monopoly and the distribution of grain and fodder in the provinces. In the summer, the legislator abolished the grain monopoly, but introduced compulsory military service for the supply of food and fodder to the army. It is established that the government&amp;apos;s hopes for the procurement of agricultural products through cooperatives did not justify themselves due to unsuccessful administration to establish low and unprofitable purchase prices for peasants at a high cost of the industrial goods they need, as well as due to delays in payment for the deliveries made and unsatisfactory organization of commercial transportation. It is revealed that the involvement of large private traders and firms in the supply of grain and fodder after the abolition of the grain monopoly led to the corruption of the state apparatus, rampant speculation and the formation of a black market, which the government failed to cope with, despite the adoption of a rather harsh law on speculation. It is stated that the legislative and administrative activities of the government in the field of trade and supply were not able to provide the army with food, fodder and equipment. Because of which the commanders of the units were forced, in violation of the law, to engage in self-sufficiency of their troops by conducting requisitions that caused outrage among peasants or exchanging captured trophies for food.

ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ КАНАЛОВ СБЫТА КАК ИНСТРУМЕНТ ДЛЯ ОПТИМИЗАЦИИ НАЛОГООБЛОЖЕНИЯ В ОПТОВОЙ ТОРГОВЛЕ МАЛОГО ПРЕДПРИНИМАТЕЛЬСТВА

In order to ensure the competitiveness of wholesale enterprises belonging to small business entities in the context of the expansion of large businesses of various forms of organization, the state provides the opportunity to use special tax regimes that reduce the burden on small businesses. When scaling a wholesale trading company to the regions, forming its own branch network, it is extremely important to retain the possibility of applying a simplified taxation system. The author suggests schemes of distribution channels for small business wholesale enterprises that allow the use of special tax regimes for the sale of goods on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as options for their reorganization in cases when the threshold limits of the simplified form of tax accounting are reached. In the course of the study, the author developed models for the transformation of sales channels in the process of regional development of a wholesale trading company of small businesses on the example of the sale of goods for aesthetic medicine, allowing to optimize taxation. Based on the results of the study, the author gives practical recommendations in the form of commodity distribution schemes that allow maximizing the taxation of wholesale enterprises of small businesses, ready for use by the heads of trade organizations that sell goods for aesthetic medicine.

A Model for Blood Bank Facility-Location Problem at Post Disaster Area

Effective handling of post-disaster victims is essential for the safety of humanity, both direct victims and those affected by the disaster. Especially the effectiveness, Including a reliable network design for the distribution of essential commodities in the form of blood units, where a disaster can suddenly cause the demand for blood units to be high, but the supply in the hospital is not enough. The main objective of this research is to model and solve the problem of determining the location of post-disaster temporary blood bank facilities that are expected to serve hospitals that must be located in such a way with a minimum response time to be able to help hospital requests in the nearest area. Completing the model is done by making the distance to the hospital minimal and also expected to maximize the number of blood donors that can be reached. Heuristic Tabu Search (HTS) is proposed as a solution to solving the problem by taking the case of multi-facility-location with the mini-max model by calculating the distance using the euclidean distance. The number of temporary blood banks can be optimized by calculating the minimum total cost by considering various cost elements such as transportation costs, fixed costs, and maintenance costs. To demonstrate the proposed solution, a case study on hospitals and blood banks in Medan City was presented.

Partnership 4.0: smallholder farmer partnership solutions

The current pseudo-partnership pattern causes the farmers' income to be low from the results of their farming activities, so a partnership pattern is needed that is able to create a mutual partnership. The research which was conducted in Cikarawang Village, Bogor Regency, West Java Province – Indonesia aims; (1) recognize the existing condition of farmers and the use of agricultural land; (2) knowing the distribution of agricultural commodities; (3) identify existing partnership patterns; and (4) provide solutions for partnership patterns that benefit farmers. By using mixed-methods combined with the Drone Participatory Mapping (DPM) approach to produce Data Desa Presisi (DDP), this study succeeded in identifying three statuses of farmers, namely: cultivators, owners and cultivators of their own land, and owners who work on their own land at the same time working on other people's land, with an average access to land management of 3,437.32 m2. The small access of each farmer in land management is further exacerbated by the variety of agricultural commodities that are cultivated by farmers. There are at least 19 types of agricultural commodities that are cultivated, but do not meet the economic scale that is able to improve the welfare of farmers. This condition opens up opportunities for the partnership pattern between farmers and middlemen to continue to survive which is actually detrimental to farmers. Partnership 4.0 innovation is present to replace the old partnership pattern by focusing on the basis of technology and information that is fully accessible to farmers to jointly control agricultural activities (upstream-downstream). Partnership 4.0 places farmers and offtakers on an equal footing, so that smallholders can benefit and help achieve the welfare of smallholders.

Integrated supplier selection, scheduling, and routing problem for perishable product supply chain: A distributionally robust approach

Due to the global outbreak of COVID-19, the perishable product supply chains have been impacted in different ways, and consequently, the risks of food insecurity have been increased in many affected countries. The uncertainty in supply and demand of perishable products, are among the most influential factors impacting the supply chain networks. Accordingly, the provision and distribution of food and other perishable commodities have become much more important than in the past. In this study, a bi-objective optimization model is proposed for a three-echelon perishable food supply chain (PFSC) network with multiple products to formulate an integrated supplier selection, production scheduling, and vehicle routing problem. The proposed model aims to mitigate the risks of demand and supply uncertainties and reinforce the distribution-related decisions by simultaneously optimizing the total network costs and suppliers’ reliability. Using the distributionally robust modeling paradigm, the probability distribution of uncertain demand is assumed to belong to an ambiguity set with given moment information. Accordingly, distributionally robust chance-constrained approach is applied to ensure that the demands of retailers and capacity of vehicles are satisfied with high probability. Leveraging duality and linearization techniques, the proposed model is reformulated as a mixed-integer linear program. Then, the weighted goal programming approach is adopted to address the multi-objectiveness of the proposed optimization model. To certify the performance and applicability of the model, a real-world case study in the poultry industry is investigated. Finally, the sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the impacts of influential parameters on the objective functions and optimal decisions, and then some managerial insights are provided based on the obtained results.
