Perceptions on American Fisheries Society Membership and Recommendations for Action Based on 2022 Survey Results

A survey was conducted in 2022 to identify current perceptions and preferences regarding the value of AFS membership and its associated benefits, to assess the effectiveness of AFS initiatives and communication efforts, to provide insight into the role of AFS in career development, and to document motivations for membership in other societies. The membership survey included participation from current AFS members as well as nonmembers with interests in the fisheries profession. We conducted an analysis of the 2,285 survey respondents, where the goal of the analysis was to identify global trends among all respondents as a means to improve the overall experience for society members through value‐added membership benefits and initiatives. For the purposes of this analysis, survey questions that specifically addressed membership benefits or membership retention were evaluated. Most of the survey questions evaluated in this analysis included an option to provide comments that were also compiled and assessed for recurring trends. Similar to previous membership surveys, high membership and meeting registration fees were frequently cited as a possible limitation or barrier to retaining and recruiting members. Survey respondents indicated that a higher value of membership appreciation could be achieved through better communication of benefits and efforts to encourage employers to support membership and certification. Recommendations were developed from the survey responses and some have already been implemented by the Membership Committee through an Action Plan. These recommendations will be used to guide future actions to increase membership, to enhance current membership benefits, and to serve as a framework to focus and refine future actions that will be considered by the Membership Committee on behalf of AFS.

Menakar Kebijakan Pendampingan Self Declare Halal oleh Perguruan Tinggi (Studi Kasus di Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Sidoarjo dan Uin Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang)

This study examines various government efforts to encourage halal product assurance, especially through the creation of derivative regulations and the establishment of the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH). However, small to micro-scale business actors still need help, especially related to registration fees and understanding the importance of halal certification. The study aims to explain the role of universities in East Java in assisting halal certification for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) while analyzing the legal aspects and maqashid sharia. Using field research methods and qualitative approaches, it was found that the role of universities is as PPH assistants for MSEs who meet the halal certification criteria through the self-declare route. The implementation of self-declare halal assistance is faced with the obstacle of maintaining the activeness of registered PPH assistants, and there are still business actors who need to meet the requirements in the assistance process, such as lack of information on materials and expired material certification. An effective monitoring system is required to overcome potential errors in the halal certification process. Universities are also expected to be able to create program innovations to strengthen and activate the role of PPH assistants. The government, in this case, especially BPJPH, also needs to create a more consistent policy regarding halal certification registration through the application so that the criteria of the Halal Product Assurance System (SJPH), which is built on five basic principle frameworks (arkanul halal) can be met.

PERANCANGAN SISTEM INFORMASI PENDAFTARAN PADA TK AL-HUDA BERBASIS WEBSITE

The development of information technology in this digital era has played an important role in information and communication media in the field of education. One of them is in the school management flow, namely in accepting new students starting from registration to the registration fee payment process. When done manually, there are several ineffectivenesses such as the need to fill out forms with paper which can cause the risk of damage such as wet, torn, dirty, and can even cause the risk of losing data on the form paper. In addition, the ineffectiveness is due to the need to come many times to complete the files to the distribution of registration information which is still limited by using printed media such as brochures and flyers. This study aims to create a website-based information system that can help and reduce the obstacles that exist in the use of the manual method used previously. The information system that has been created contains information about the profile of Al-Huda Kindergarten, programs, activities, testimonials, filling out the registration form, uploading registration files to the registration fee payment process, also equipped with a trial class registration that can display the trial class schedule before parents register their children. This system can also categorize classes according to the age entered by parents when registering. The design of this information system uses the waterfall method approach. The programming languages used are HTML, CSS, and PHP supported by MySQL as its database. The results of this information system can facilitate parents of prospective students in the registration process and obtain more complete information about Al-Huda Kindergarten, an admin who can easily manage, view, and upload data on participant needs.

Conference Equity in Community Medicine: A Brief Analysis of Financial and Geographical Barriers to Participation at Community Medicine Conferences

Background: Academic conferences in community medicine offer valuable learning platform for postgraduate residents and faculty. However, to demonstrate commitment towards conference equity, financial and geographical barriers need to be enumerated and eliminated. Materials & Methods: Academic medical conferences representing the specialty of community medicine or preventive and social medicine, held between 1st April 2023 – 31st March 2024, were included under the study. Variables identified for the study included registration fees, location, affiliation to professional society, geographical scope, presence of virtual/hybrid component, and availability of scholarship/travel grant for postgraduate residents. Results: None of the conferences were held in resource-constrained states of India – the North Eastern Region (except Assam) and islands of Andaman, Nicobar, and Lakshadweep. Only 2 out of 31 conferences had virtual or hybrid component and none of the conferences offered financial support for postgraduate residents. The study found no significant difference in conference registration fees between members and non-members for postgraduate residents and faculty. Conclusions: Registration fees and location of conferences are critical geographical and financial barriers to effective participation. Membership to societies offer no advantage over non-membership in terms of financial benefits of participation at conference.

The research aims to find out and analyze the potential of legal protection for brands for business actors as well as the obstacles and efforts to overcome them according to Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications, so as to find out legal protection efforts for brands for culinary sector business actors in Bogor City. The research method used in this study is empirical juridical which is analyzed qualitatively. From the research results it can be seen that the potential of legal protection for brands for business actors of the culinary sector consists of preventive legal protection and repressive legal protection. Barriers to culinary sector business actors in Bogor City in obtaining protection for their trademarks include the lack of understanding of culinary sector business actors regarding brands and their registration procedures, lack of counseling and outreach, expensive mark registration fees, and limited budget and experts in the field of IPR. Efforts to protect the law, namely through various policies, such as collaborating between the Director General of IP at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs in providing incentives for financing the registration of creative economy brand registration, as well as registration of collective marks for the creative economy industry

The issue and abolition of the Interim Regulations on Chinese Medicine Shops and Western Pharmacy Registration in the period of the Republic of China

The Interim Regulations on Chinese Medicine Shops and Western Pharmacy Registration issued by the Shanghai Bureau of Illegal Drugs in 1922, required that Chinese medicine shops in Shanghai area be audited, registered and pay registration fees. This regulation was abolished along with the dissolution of the Shanghai Bureau of Illegal Drugs in 1925. The Interim Regulations on Chinese Medicine Shops and Western Pharmacy Registration drove people, to some extent, to attach the importance and awareness of Chinese medicine and its administration. While it had some problems, such as improper intention and unclear concepts in the period of the Republic of China, a sound system for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) administration had not been established. It confirmed that Chinese materia medica has its unique knowledge system and development form, therefore, should not be uniformly administered as Western medicine. It indicated that TCM pharmacy administration should have a reasonable system and channels to promote the development of the Chinese materia medica industry.

Revenue Generation Trends through Sharing and Grants An Evidence from Baglung Municipality, Gandaki Province, Nepal

This paper assesses the trends of revenue generation through sharing and grants in Baglung Municipality from fiscal year 2018/19 to 2022/23. The data were gathered from a comprehensive review of financial reports, budgetary documents, revenue sharing agreements, and relevant records of the municipality, and from the opinions of the respondents using five-point Likert scale questionnaires, selecting 42 respondents from 14 wards of Baglung Municipality purposively. The obtained data were analyzed descriptively. The study shows variations in the revenue performance. This municipality has been found primarily dependent on value-added tax (VAT) revenue (54.18 % in an average), which regularly accounts for a sizable share of revenue sharing, even though revenue from real estate registration fees shows a constant increase and contributes to overall revenue sharing. Regarding grants, the allocation among different categories indicates a strong focus on equalization grants (covered 21.72 % in federal grant and 66.75 % in province grant in an average). Similarly, the study has found a turnover or new wave of representatives (69.0 % less than two years of involvement) within the local entity. The study result also indicates the multifaceted needs of the community, with a particularly strong focus on roads and water supply as per the responses of 59.5 % respondents. The current revenue sharing model promotes local development, and the distribution of revenue among different sectors is found effective. Finally, this study suggests strategies pertaining to revenue estimation methodologies, manpower planning initiatives, mitigation of risks associated with an overreliance on VAT, decisions based on needs, integration of community feedback, and diversification of revenue sources to foster long-term financial stability of this municipality.

Intelligent system for college selection with analytical hierarchy process method case study approach

This research aims to develop an innovative decision support system to assist students of SMK Ibnu Sina in selecting universities in Batam City according to their preferences. In order to make the right decision, prospective students must survey information about Batam City universities. With this information, prospective students can assess universities based on accreditation, registration fees, facilities, convenience, and study programs offered to choose the university that best suits their educational needs. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method with a waterfall model is used as a framework to design an effective web-based information system. Data was collected through literature studies and interviews with counseling teachers to establish essential criteria in the college selection process. Based on the results of this analysis, the developed information system includes features such as criteria weighting using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, alternative evaluation, and college ranking. Thus, this SPK is designed to provide accurate and reliable recommendations, expected to increase students' confidence in making decisions regarding colleges that best suit their needs and goals.

Food diversity: its relation to children’s health and consequent economic burden

BackgroundThis study investigates the impact of low food diversity on the health status of children using the Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) and Dietary Serving Score (DSS) in a sub-district with the highest percentage of poor households. The economic burden of low food diversity was observed by analysing the cost of illness in the children with low food diversity.MethodsData from 329 children were collected. We determined the impact of DDS and DSS and other factors on the health status of children aged 2–14 years, using a probit model. The cost of illness (e.g., typhus, stomach ulcers, coughs, flu, and fever) due to low food diversity was calculated from medical registration fees, medical action costs, transportation costs, and other costs.ResultsThe results shows that a 1% point increase in DDS or DSS potentially decreases children’s health complaints by 10% and 8%, respectively. Given the current 26% prevalence of health complaints among children with low DDS, the annual economic burden reaches US$75.72 per child per household. In addition, the current 41% prevalence of children with low DDS resulted in an annual cost to the government of US$153.45 per child.ConclusionsThe effect of inadequate dietary diversity on children’s health is potentially high and contributes to the economic burden on households and the government.

E071 Bimekizumab demonstrates sustained improvement in quality of life up to week 52 in patients across the full spectrum of axial spondyloarthritis: results from two phase 3 studies

Abstract Background/Aims Bimekizumab (BKZ), a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively inhibits IL-17F in addition to IL-17A, has demonstrated rapid and clinically meaningful improvements in disease activity in patients across the full spectrum of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA; active non-radiographic axSpA [nr-axSpA; BE MOBILE 1, NCT03928704] and ankylosing spondylitis [AS]/ radiographic axSpA [r-axSpA; BE MOBILE 2, NCT03928743]). Here we report health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes (ASQoL, SF-36 and EQ-5D-3L) from the two parallel phase 3 studies up to Week (Wk)52. Methods BE MOBILE 1 and 2 have similar study designs: 16-Wk double-blind placebo (PBO)-controlled period followed by 36-Wk maintenance period. Patients were randomised (1:1 in BE MOBILE 1; 2:1 in BE MOBILE 2) to receive BKZ 160 mg Q4W or PBO. All patients received BKZ 160 mg Q4W from Wk16 to Wk52. We report ASQoL, SF-36 - physical component summary (PCS) and SF-36 - mental component summary (MCS) scores up to Wk52 and proportion of patients with ’no problem’ in each of the 5 EQ- 5D-3L domains (mobility, selfcare, usual activity, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/ depression). The results are presented as observed cases (OC), and missing data were imputed using multiple imputation (MI). Results 254 nr-axSpA (BKZ: 128; PBO: 126) and 332 r-axSpA(BKZ: 221; PBO: 111) patients were randomised with 86.6% and 89.8% completing to Wk52, respectively. At Wk16, BKZ treated patients reported greater improvements in ASQoL and SF-36 PCS compared to PBO (p < 0.001, all comparisons, using Analysis of Covariance [ANCOVA]). By Wk52, these improvements across all HRQoL outcomes were sustained in BKZ treated patients and improved in patients who switched to BKZ at Wk16. (Table). The baseline SF-36 MCS levels indicated that on average patients had normal scores which remained unchanged throughout the study. The proportion of patients reporting ‘no problem’ across all five EQ-5D-3L domains improved over time up to Wk52. In patients with ASQoL ≥4 at baseline, >60% of patients had ≥4-point improvement in ASQoL at Wk52. Conclusion Across the axSpA disease spectrum, treatment with BKZ compared with PBO at Wk16 significantly improved quality of life outcomes measured by EQ-5D-3L, ASQoL and SF-36 PCS scores which were sustained to Wk52.

Research Status of Botanical Insecticide in Indonesia and Its Commercial Constraints

This article aims to review the status of botanical insecticide and its commercialization constraints in Indonesia. The method used was by tracking botanical insecticide papers published from 1993 to 2019. The collected data consisted of the plant source of botanical insecticide; intensively studied insect pests; and the number of commercial botanical insecticides and their active ingredients. The results found that Annona muricata, Azadirachta indica, Nicotiana tabacum, Carica papaya, and Cymbopogon nardus were the most common plants used for botanical insecticide. The most studied insect pests were: Spodoptera litura, Crocidolomia pavonana, Plutella xylostella, Sitophilus oryzae, and Aedes aegypti. Methyl eugenol was the most common commercialized active ingredient followed by azadirachtin. Citronella and geraniol were used only as mixtures. The constraint of commercializing botanical insecticide was from the companies. They are not interested in developing botanical insecticides since the prospect is not certain and the registration fee is more expensive than that of synthetic ones.

The Waste Reduction Caused by Delays in Registration Fee Revenue Recognition Process: A Case Study of Public University in Thailand

Analysis of Halal Certification Management in Jakim through Public Complaint Feedback

Halal Certification Processing is one of the themes found in one of the Client Charters in Jakim, where it is a promise given to applicants within a certain period to complete the Halal Certificate. In realizing good management in an organization, the staff of the organization must be sensitive to the promises made as set out in their Client Charter. The Client's Charter is a written statement by the organization to provide quality services to customers to meet the needs of the community, especially to customers who deal with any organization. A problem or issue that arises is when some organization ignore the promises made in their Client Charter. The community's public complaints and feedback are evidence of this. This study aims to identify the various difficulties and suggestions for improvement that Jakim made in managing halal certification in response to feedback from the general public. This qualitative study uses the interview method, whereby three staff from Jakim will be recruited and made into respondents for the interview. In addition, documentation methods are also used, such as Client Charter reports, Halal Certification Procedure Manual Reports, etc. Also included are the reports on Jakim's website. The results revealed some difficulties, including the applicant's lack of understanding of the start of the 30 days, the time factor in managing the halal certification, and the inability of the applicant to review or comprehend the protocols. However, Jakim did not give up on addressing it by improving and formulating several strategic plans, such as improving the document upload system (My Ingredients), adjusting the online halal certificate registration fee, opening more counters, strengthening the Fast Track system, holding conferences with the industry, training on halal, and adding halal staff. The implications of the study can be seen, especially for civil servants as well as the rights of customers when dealing with the organization. This can be observed by analyzing the significance of adopting an effective Client Charter, which entails successfully carrying out all commitments outlined within it, hence attaining client pleasure through the responsible fulfillment of promises.
