Transformation of local cultural values in the modernization of architectural and interior design of traditional market buildings in Bali

Traditional markets in Bali reflect the richness of local culture closely related to people's daily lives. Along with the times and demands for progress, these markets are transforming through the modernization of architectural and interior design. This modernization impacts local cultural heritage, changing how people interact with markets and the traditional values that Balinese people have long upheld. Therefore, research on the transformation of local cultural values in the modernization of architectural and interior design in traditional Balinese markets becomes relevant to understanding the implications and evaluating the preservation and adjustment efforts needed to maintain a unique cultural identity. The main focus is on changes in building design that influence the user experience of the building and the sustainability of cultural heritage as well as providing insight into emerging challenges and opportunities as well as an understanding of efforts to preserve local cultural values. This study will use a qualitative methodology to investigate changes in aesthetic and cultural dimensions. The results of this study demonstrate that cultural values change due to modern buildings being constructed in Bali's traditional marketplaces. The building's modernization has an impact on everyday activities, including the waning of the bargaining culture, the consumer behavior when visiting the upper floors, the traders' behavior regarding the interior conditions of the market, the culture that elevates buyers to the status of kings, and the transactional atmosphere typical of traditional markets. The contribution involves active participation from local communities with solutions in the form of efforts to maintain cultural heritage that can be aligned with implementing innovations that have a positive impact. By involving traders and market owners, solutions can be found to modernize facilities while maintaining local cultural values.

Identification of the Genotypes of Extended-spectrum β-lactamase Producing Escherichia coli in the Small Intestine of Broiler Chickens at a Traditional Market in Surabaya, Indonesia

Background: Escherichia coli infection from inside the chicken’s body may be present if the previously slaughtered chicken was contaminated with pathogens or the cage’s hygiene is inadequate. One of the resistance mechanisms against antibiotics used by Gram-negative bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family is the production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL). Research is required to determine which E. coli genotypes in broiler chicken samples collected from Surabaya’s traditional marketplaces produce ESBL. Methods: A total of 100 small intestine samples collected from broiler chickens were used in this study. After initial processing all the samples were separately injected into Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (EMBA) and Indole, Methyl Red, Voges Proskauer and Citrate (IMViC) tests were used to confirm the results. A test for antibiotic sensitivity based on the Kirby-Bauer method called the Double Disk Synergy Test (DDST) was used to analyze isolates that showed resistance to aztreonam and multidrug resistance (MDR). PCR testing was performed on ESBL-verified isolates to detect the TEM and CTX-M genes. Result: The results of the test for E. coli antibiotic resistance revealed that 14 isolates were proven to be multidrug-resistant (MDR) and six of them were found to be E. coli that produced ESBL. Four isolates were found to carry the TEM and CTX-M genes after genotyping analysis. Understanding the dangers of using antibiotics as feed additives and growth promoters is crucial for farmers to address the problem of ESBL-producing E. coli bacteria in chickens. Furthermore, the government needs to take action to monitor and enforce stronger controls on the use of antibiotics, which are even readily available on the market.

Travel market maven in a traditional marketplace

AbstractMarket mavenism enhances the economic impacts of tourism. Using a convergent parallel mixed‐methods design, first, a quantitative study tests a conceptual model supported by goal‐setting theory to stimulate market mavenism in the traditional marketplace. Quantitative data are used to apply structural equation modeling and analysis of necessity to assess the sufficiency and necessity of market maven antecedents, respectively. The effect of nationality and travel types on the study variables are also investigated. Second, a qualitative study conducts interviews to explore mechanisms of market maven development through experience with the market in a traditional marketplace. Confusion proneness and choice confidence are sufficient and necessary predictors of market mavenism. Evaluation costs and final negative affect are sufficient but unnecessary to achieve market mavenism. Asian consumers receive a greater market maven experience compared to consumers from other regions.

E-COMMERCE MANAGEMENT USING WEB3 TECH

Blockchain and NFT tokens will play an important role in the technology sector in the near future, and this process may help us to prevent scams in online exchange products as well as generate worthy trust in society. Hundreds of complaints have been filed in which the buyer or seller claimed to be defense personnel and displayed fake ID proofs to gain trust. Because Traditional Marketplace currently lacks a feature for reviewing sellers, users who want to buy products have little doubt about whether the seller can be trusted with the items they sell. Users can use it to determine whether a seller is reliable or not. Also, as a reference for purchasing items from the seller using NFT tokens. The Web3 is advancing more quickly in our society. Hopefully, it will have the widest possible audience for its reliable exchange, ownership transparency, and certified products. An NFT marketplace is a gateway to trade digital assets.The latest web assets, from simple artwork to expensive asset exchange, are available for purchase and sale on the NFT marketplace. Non-fungible tokens' ownership verification capabilities are their main advantage. Given that they are on a blockchain network, NFTs can help to link ownership to a single account. Since the blockchain can permanently store information about the product, checking for rarity and authenticity will soon be a thing on physical products too. In the rapidly evolving landscape of online marketplaces, the emergence of NFT (Non-Fungible Token) technology has ushered in a new era for both the sale of new and used products. This abstract delves into the dynamics of an NFT marketplace that caters to a diverse range of commodities, offering a seamless platform for buyers and sellers alike. This innovative marketplace leverages blockchain technology to tokenize both new and used products, providing each item with a unique digital identity that is securely stored on the blockchain. The use of NFTs ensures authenticity and provenance, instilling trust among users and mitigating the risk of counterfeit goods. The platform employs smart contracts to automate transactions, streamlining the buying and selling process while reducing the need for intermediaries.

Industrial data monetization: A blockchain-based industrial IoT data trading system

The Internet of Things (IoT) devices utilized in manufacturing industries produce vast volumes of valuable data that can revolutionize productivity and sustainability. While existing centralized data marketplaces facilitate data trading, they are often marred by trust issues, a single point of failure, and significant security and privacy vulnerabilities. Addressing these critical shortcomings, this paper introduces a blockchain-based industrial data trading system that not only ensures secure and transparent data trading but also offers advantages over conventional systems. Unlike traditional marketplaces, our proposed system emphasizes trustworthiness by mitigating third-party risks, enhancing data integrity through decentralized storage, and employing graph technology for efficient blockchain querying. Further, with integrated access control, our system elevates security standards. Preliminary evaluations reveal the system’s potential to offer a more secure, transparent, auditable, and trustworthy data trading environment, distinctly outpacing the capabilities of current marketplaces.

Strongyloidiasis is a nematode parasite with broader distribution proved to infect humans and animals. Strongyloides ratti common endoparasites infected rodent as the most adaptive population in various environments. We have currently raised concerning the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) situations in Indonesia. This study aimed to understand the incidence of Strongyloides spp. infecting wild rodents in Malang City during October to December 2021 by stratified random sampling. A total of 50 rats (Rattus norvegicus, Rattus rattus diardii, Mus musculus), 26 male (52%) and 24 female (48%). Following 12 juveniles (24%) and 38 adults (76%). Coprology examinations use floatation and sedimentation methods immediately after the gastrointestinal tract's stool collection (GITs). We also administered a limited survey to get responses from 80 people (housewives, sellers, employee, and students) to obtain risk transmission, public awareness, and attitudes. We were continually analyzed data using the chi-squared and Fisher Exact Test. The microscopic examination of stools was 28% positively detected S. ratti. Our study found an association presented between the age of rats and Strongyloidiasis infections (p<0.05). However, the gender of rats did not have a significant association (p>0.05) to the S. ratti several infections. In addition, most participants did not understand the zoonotic disease and these infections, indicating a low-level knowledge 71 (88%), because better education supports the increase of awareness. However, almost all participants have good practice of hygiene and sanitation toward COVID-19 situations 72 (90%).

Fire risk communication in the urban informal sector: Evidence from traditional marketplaces in Accra, Ghana

AbstractUrban marketplace fires in Ghana are chronic, devasting in economic losses and disproportionately impacting informal sector workers. Yet, the scholarly works on urban disasters have focused on hydrometeorological and other man‐made disasters to the neglect of marketplace fires, particularly the challenges in risk communication between emergency management agencies and urban marketplace workers. In seeking to extend the emerging but scant work on urban marketplace fires in Ghana, this paper analysed fire risk communication to understand how socio‐cultural factors influence the perceptions and protective behavioral strategies of traders in two traditional urban marketplaces of Accra. In‐depth interviews with both public agencies and traders showed that traders’ social networks and interactions are important sources and channels for fire risk communication, albeit unharnessed by formal emergency management agencies. It also revealed how cultural elements such as religious beliefs about fire risks affect proactiveness in fire risk preparedness and response. To ensure effective risk communication about marketplace fires, this paper calls attention to and mainstreaming of socio‐cultural aspects of everyday life in marketplaces into disaster risk planning and management.

Harnessing the potential of online marketplaces in the Philippines: Insights from the National Information and Communications Technology Household Survey

AbstractUsing the Philippinesʼ first nationally representative survey designed to characterise digital commercial and non‐commercial engagements, including the use of information and communications technology (ICT), the digital economy, and technology‐enabled activities, we investigate the presence of gendered disparities in online marketplaces. This is consistent with the spirit of a gender and development approach that aims for equitable outcomes between men and women. We verify whether the observed participation of women in online marketplaces results in higher online sales. To establish the determinants of participation in and incomes from online marketplaces, we use a Heckman estimator in cognisance of the non‐random choices people make when they enter online marketplaces. The negative selection indicates that those likely to sell have unobserved attributes negatively correlated with online income. Based on our modelʼs income predictions, men outperform women in online sales and hold the advantage, replicating a trend observed in traditional marketplaces. Results also highlight the importance of skills, digital awareness and habits, selling platforms, and ICT infrastructure. The paper also identifies potential initiatives for online marketplaces.

Increasing Halal Awareness through Spiritual Capital Awareness Case Study on Traditional Market Traders in Surabaya

Today, news regarding unethical behavior in traditional markets is frequently reported in a variety of mass media. Some of them involve lowering the weights of trading goods, trading or combining high-quality commodities with low-quality ones, and the mystical belief of black magic.
