Analysis of marketing distribution efficiency of small pelagic fish on Ambon Island with path analysis

This study aims to develop a path analysis of marketing distribution efficiency of small pelagic fish in the islands, particularly on Ambon Island, and investigate its most significant determinant. Producer price, consumer price, marketing cost and marketing margin are examined as determinants of marketing efficiency. An efficient marketing system provides benefits for business actors involved in the production process, so that their products can reach target consumers. A longer marketing chain results in higher marketing costs, which ultimately determines the end consumer price. The data was analysed in a descriptive-quantitative manner, conducting a supply chain analysis and a path analysis to determine the marketing margin and marketing efficiency of small pelagic fish marketing distribution in Ambon City. The results show that all distribution channels are efficient because the calculated efficiency value is <30%. First path analysis producer prices (X1) have no significant effect on marketing margin (Y), consumer prices (X2) have a positive and significant effect on marketing margins (X3); and marketing costs have a significant effect on marketing margin (Y). The second equation, all variables (X1, X2, and X3) have a significant effect on marketing distribution efficiency (Z) through marketing margin (Y). It can be concluded that marketing costs and marketing margins greatly influence the efficiency of marketing distribution. These findings imply that to gain profits, small pelagic fish fishermen (as producers) must estimate marketing costs accurately.

Bayesian Nonparametric Sequential Search

Sequential search models are popular in marketing for studying consumer search behavior. Current search models use parametric assumptions regarding different aspects of the models, such as random shocks, search costs, and consumer preferences. These assumptions can be restrictive. The authors develop a novel Bayesian nonparametric framework for sequential search to flexibly model unknown distributions. They also develop Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for inferring the model unknowns. The authors conduct simulation studies to demonstrate that currently popular parametric search models can yield incorrect estimates and inferences when the data-generating process deviates from their assumptions. In contrast, the proposed model accurately recovers these quantities for various data-generating processes. The methodology is then applied to online search and purchase data from a Japanese retailer. The results show that several heterogeneity distributions have complex patterns, such as multimodality and skewness, that are not captured by a parametric benchmark model. The authors also estimate the monetary value of search costs, the price elasticities, and a counterfactual profit gain under a personalized couponing strategy and find substantial differences in the results from the two models.

Modeling feed efficiency over productive lifetime and integrating a submodel for body reserve management in Nordic dairy cattle.

Genetic enhancement of feed efficiency can improve the economic sustainability and environmental responsibility of dairy farming. Although genetic selection holds promise for improving feed efficiency across the lifespan of dairy cows, comprehensive data spanning whole lactations or even a productive lifetime are currently limited. To address this, we used production data and data from a camera-based feed intake and BW recording system, along with records of production, feed intake, and weight on Holstein cows from a research herd. We aimed to estimate variance components for a multivariate, multiparity model of production, feed intake, and BW data to calculate genetic residual feed intake (gRFI) for each of the Nordic breeds (Holstein, Jersey, and Red Dairy Cattle). Our approach included investigating a new definition of energy balance (EBbody) calculated from changes in body reserves, serving as an energy sink in gRFI. The data in our analysis consisted of 4,751 Holstein cows (7,851 lactations), 2,068 Jersey cows (3,486 lactations), and 3,235 Red Dairy Cattle cows (5,419 lactations). We used Gibbs sampling to estimate posterior means and SD for all model parameters. Our findings revealed moderate lactation-wise heritability of gRFI (0.15-0.38) across all breeds and parities. Moreover, gRFI genetic correlations varied (-0.2 to 0.4) between early- and mid- to late-lactation stages across all breeds, and for lactation-wise gRFI, there were moderately high genetic correlations (0.39-0.59) between primi- and multiparous lactations across the 3 breeds. Those results suggest the importance of recording phenotypes in most time periods within and across lactations. Our analysis indicated that improving gRFI with one genetic SD unit corresponded to a 2% to 3% gain in net return profit per cow-year, with no or minimal impact on production and body reserve management. We demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating EBbody into gRFI. Comparing gRFI calculated with EBbody or changes in BW as an energy sink trait for body reserve management were highly genetically correlated (>0.95). This result shows that the choice of the energy sink trait for body reserve management in gRFI will yield limited reranking among cows and sires when based on BW records only. However, EBbody offers an opportunity to incorporate BCS information without increasing the number of genetic parameters to be estimated, but it relies on parameters estimated in experimental settings. In conclusion, our study demonstrates the feasibility of developing a model for gRFI over most of the productive lifetime of dairy cattle, offering significant economic benefits without compromising productivity or body reserve management. Moving forward, comprehensive recording schemes covering whole lactations and productive lifetimes are advantageous for accurate selection indices of gRFI.

SISTEM DETEKSI PENGGUNAAN FORMALIN PADA PANGAN IKAN ASIN MENGGUNAKAN ALGORITMA CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK (CNN)

Salted fish is a food that is very popular in the community. In addition to its delicious taste, salted fish can be purchased at an affordable price. Salted fish is fish that has gone through a preservation process using salt preservatives. The process of preserving salted fish is very dependent on natural factors such as weather and sunlight, so this preservation process cannot be used all the time. This makes salted fish producers suffer losses, so salted fish producers do everything to gain profits, one of which is using the dangerous preservative formaldehyde. The effects of consuming formalin preservatives include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nervous depression, and circulatory disorders. Based on these problems, a tool is needed that can detect the use of formalin in salted fish. In this research, one of the deep learning methods is used, namely Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) as an image identification which is proven to be efficient in classifying images. The method is implemented by classifying formalin salted fish based on the images inputted by the user. In this study, training was carried out 3 times to find the best value. The data used in this study were 200 images of salted fish captured using a smartphone camera consisting of 100 images of formalin salted fish and 100 images of non-formalin salted fish. The results of this study are that the system can recognize objects with an accuracy rate of 92.5% with 40 times of testing which can detect 3 times identifying wrong images and 37 times correctly identifying images.

Advantages of the Decentralized Sharing Economy - Take Ethereum Platform as an Example

In this era of rapid development of online transactions and platform economies, many companies operate as intermediaries between Party A and Party B in transactions and gain profits from every transaction. The "middleman", that is, the intermediary, mainly introduces Party A's resources in the form of a platform and allows more users to see and understand Party A's resource information. Platform users, that is, Party B, can save them from searching for the resources they want during the intermediary's promotion and introduction. time cost; however, some intermediaries take advantage of the process of transferring Party B's money to Party A as an intermediary and use some unfair means to obtain profits that exceed their original gains in the transaction as an intermediary, thus causing information between Party A and Party B. Asymmetry creates ambiguity, leading to serious problems in transactions. In this work, we will discuss the advantages of the decentralized sharing economy. Furthermore, this paper will focus on analyzing the shortcomings of intermediary operations in contemporary society from the perspective that intermediaries need to spend a lot of time and economic costs to establish credibility, the lack of intermediaries which are controlled artificially, and the friction of platform p2p transactions. Targeting the above three aspects, the paper will also explain and analyze the operating model of Ethereum to demonstrate that Ethereum is a better online transaction model that can replace the artificial intermediary model in contemporary times.

The Corporate Liability as Perpetrator of Environmental Pollution Crime

Corporations grow and develop according to the times, the principle of corporations with the smallest capital to get the maximum profit, making corporations can do anything to gain profits. Corporations are required to run their business in good faith, corporations that do not run their business in good faith can be held criminally liable. The increasing number of corporations as a global impact creates a special concern for environmental impacts. Almost every field of business, whether in mining, trade, industry, natural resource utilization and others, has the potential to cause pollution and damage to the environment. The opposition to the discourse of holding corporations accountable in criminal law has always been justified. The argument is also inseparable from the natural flows of criminal law, both the classical flow (daad strafrecht), the modern flow (dader strafrecht) and the neoclassical flow (daad-dader strafrecht) which only sees individuals as perpetrators or legal subjects. It is not necessary to prove the guilt committed by the Corporation in carrying out its business activities of using, producing, managing hazardous and toxic waste (B3), which as a result of the act poses a serious threat to environmental damage is a positive progress towards the development of criminal law politics in Indonesia. This research is normative juridical in the form of analysis regarding legal norms both international conventions and provisions of Indonesian positive law that regulate corporate liability as perpetrators of environmental pollution crimes. With the formulation of the problem, how is the regulation of environmental management crimes that can be committed by corporations and how is the criminal liability of corporations as perpetrators of environmental pollution crimes. The conclusion show that the Criminal Code (KUHP) only recognizes individuals as subjects of criminal law, while corporations have not been considered as subjects of criminal law.

Azolla: Nutritionally Rich Non-Conventional Feed for Backyard Poultry Farming

The major cost of production in poultry farming is towards the feed cost. It shares around 80 per cent of total cost of production incurred during the poultry rearing. In order to reduce the cost of production, low cost feed formulation by using locally available feeds is the need of the hour. In this regard the present study was conducted to analyze the effect of feeding azolla on the performance of backyard poultry farming. For this one week old 30 chicks of Swarnadhara were selected for each group and 3 such groups were made. The first group (T1- control) was fed with the only recommended Desi starter feed (commercial feed), second group(T2) was fed with wet azolla by replacing 30% of desi starter and the third group(T3) was fed with the dry azolla by replacing 30% of the desi starter. After the 21 days feeding trial, it was found that the weight gain of second and third trial was at par with the control group indicating the azolla can be used as a partial substitute to the desi feed which is used by the farmers to feed the chicks at early stage. By this way the feeding cost can be reduced by 30 per cent, which directly will be added to the total profit gain.

Improving Farmers’ Income on Online Agri-Platforms: Evidence from the Field

Problem definition: To improve the welfare of smallholder farmers, multiple countries (e.g., Ethiopia and India) have launched online agri-platforms to transform traditional markets. However, there is still mixed evidence regarding the impact of these platforms and, more generally, how they can be leveraged to enable more efficient agricultural supply chains and markets. This paper describes work conducted in close collaboration with the state government of Karnataka, India, to design, implement, and assess the impact of a new two-stage auction on the state’s online agri-platform, the United Market Platform (UMP). Methodology/results: To ensure implementability and protect farmers’ revenue, the auction design is guided by practical operational considerations, as well as semistructured interviews with a majority of the traders in the field. A new behavioral auction model informed by the field insights is developed to determine when the proposed two-stage auction can generate a higher revenue for farmers than the traditional single-stage, first-price, sealed-bid auction. The new auction mechanism was implemented on the UMP for a major market of lentils in February 2019. By the end of May 2019, commodities worth more than $6 million (USD) had been traded under the new auction. A difference-in-differences analysis demonstrates that the implementation has yielded a significant 3.6% price increase (corresponding to a 55%–94% profit gain) for over 10,000 farmers who traded in the treatment market. Managerial implications: The results from this paper offer tangible lessons on how innovative price discovery mechanisms could be enabled by online agri-platforms in resource-constrained environments. Importantly, the success of these designs critically depends on careful considerations of systemic operational and behavioral factors that affect trades in the physical markets. History: This paper has been accepted as part of the 2023 Manufacturing & Service Operations Management Practice-Based Research Competition.

Bargaining in mobile app supply chain considering members’ fairness concern attitudes

The fast-developing mobile app industry has brought challenges to service pricing and profit allocation problems. This study constructs a four-stage game model consisting of a brand mobile app supplier as well as a distributor and takes members’ distributional fairness concern into consideration. We analyze the equilibrium revenue retaining ratio bargaining result, service price as well as the investigation and regulation (I&R) level in different fairness concern models and explore the managers’ employment decisions of supply chain members at equilibrium. Through analysis, we obtain several theoretical contributions and managerial insights. Firstly, while the supplier’s distributional fairness concern drops down both the service price and I&R level, the distributor’s fairness concern exerts no effect on both decisions. Secondly, we show that at equilibrium, the supply chain members would sink into prisoner’s dilemma when the cost coefficient of I&R activity is relatively low. When the cost coefficient is relatively high, the supplier would obtain higher profit while the distributor would suffer profit loss compared with fairness neutral situation and unfortunately the profit gain of the supplier is overwhelmed by the profit loss of the distributor, resulting profit loss of the whole supply chain. Thirdly, we suggest the distributor in mobile app supply chain to control I&R cost for the purpose of attracting the supplier to sign fairness neutral commitment contract, which can avoid supply chain inefficiency. Besides, the government is advised to take intervention measures when the I&R cost coefficient is relatively high.

Analisis Biaya Produksi dan Analisis Profitabilitas Usaha Budidaya Ikan Lele di Kab. Mojokerto

This study aims to analyze production costs in catfish curl farming in Mojokerto Regency and compare the level of profitability. The research sample is several respondents of catfish farming farmers in Mojokerto district. This study used primary data and secondary data obtained from catfish farmers, relevant agencies, the Mojokerto District Fisheries Office, and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs Fisheries, using purposive sampling method. The data analysis technique used in this research is quantitative descriptive analysis. The final results of the study showed that farmer-2 was superior in obtaining a lower FCR value of 1.16 compared to farmer-1's FCR level of 1.60. However, the profit gain and the level of profitability obtained are much greater in the enlargement of catfish owned by farmer-1 with a profitability rate of 16.90%. This occurs because the costs incurred to purchase feed in the form of CCM waste are far more expensive than the costs incurred to purchase feed in the form of chicken intestines. In terms of feed quality, CCM waste is of good quality and efficient for use as catfish feed because it can score low FCR values. However, the costs incurred to purchase good quality feed also need to be taken into account and considered.

Design and Construction of a Transaction System for the Manggis Mandiri Building Store in Teluk Kuantan

Currently, the use of computers is very much needed in the process of processing data into information needed by companies. By implementing a computerized system in a company, it is considered to really help the company in making decisions based on the information produced by the system. The Manggis Mandiri Building Shop is a building shop that is currently developing and operates in the sales of building materials, where data processing of goods and receivables is still done manually and all activity reports on the bookkeeping system are still poorly structured. The obstacles that arise are the time problem where calculating receivables or checking goods data takes too long and also the problem of controlling the stock of available goods which is not very well organized. Therefore, the author designed a web-based application using Php Mysql, Xampp and the Laravel Framework. The source of data obtained is through primary data sources and data collection techniques are carried out by means of observation, interviews and documentation. It is hoped that this system can make it easier for Manggis Mandiri stores to run their business and gain profits amidst a lot of competition. As a result of the research, this application has met the system requirements needed such as recording receivables, stock of goods, reporting goods in and goods out.

How Can Rice Farmers Gain Profit? An Analysis of Sharecropping Practice among Farmers, Landowners, and Laborers in Sukadiri Subdistrict of Tangerang

The production of rice as one of the main staple foods in Indonesia has been affected by changes in land-use that has led to a shift in land ownership. It is necessary to discuss whether the profit-sharing applied among farmers, landowners, and laborers provides benefits for farmers. This study aims to determine the characteristics, income, and efficiency of lowland rice farming with both a 50:50 crop sharing between farmers and landowners, and an 80:20 crop sharing between farmers and laborers. This study is based on survey and interviews on the sharecropping practice among rice farming community in the dry season (April – September) tahun 2022 in Sukadiri Subdistrict of Tangerang. Farming parameters are explained descriptively, and the farm efficiency is determined by the revenue-cost (R/C) ratio. A total sample of 44 farmers was determined purposively and proportionately. The findings demonstrated that rice farming gained a total income on the explicit cost of IDR7.311.519 per hectare. The R/C ratio of explicit cost for the sharecropping system is 4,76. Suppose the sharecropping system is replaced with a rent cash payment, the R/C ratio for total cost is 0,83 which results in a loss. This study concludes that the combination of 50:50 crop sharing with the landowner and 80:20 crop sharing with double-tapping laborers is beneficial for the existence of rice farming.

Analysis Of Fixed Financing, Profit Sharing Financing And Non Performing Financing On Profit Gain Of Banking Industries In Indonesia

The purpose of this study is to determine whether profit-sharing, fixed financing, and non-performing financing (NPF) all have an impact on sharia banking earnings at the same time. Influence analysis research is what this study is doing. Purposive sampling was used in this study's sample process. The research sample in this study is sharia banking profit. Twenty Indonesian commercial banks that follow sharia law served as the study's population. This study employs quantitative data methodologies, meaning that Ordinary Least Squares analysis is employed to turn the research's data into numerical values. The research findings indicate that sharia banking earnings are significantly impacted by profit sharing, fixed financing, and non-performing financing (NPF) variables all at the same time. The profit-sharing component significantly and favorably affects profit. This implies that profit will rise with each increase in profit sharing. The profit margin is significantly and favorably impacted by fixed finance variables. This implies that profit will rise with each increase in fixed funding. The variable of non-performing finance (NPF) has a noteworthy and adverse impact on earnings. This implies that earnings will decrease with each increase in NPF. The modified R-squared value indicates that while some variation in the independent variables can be used to partially explain the variation in the dependent variable (profit), other variables unrelated to the variables under study account for the remaining portion.
