/in /by

One factor that could affect an athlete’s mental and emotional readiness is mood. Mood profile for Cricket athletes is an important factor that needs to be analyzed. An athlete’s mood can affect their overall performance. A positive mood can increase focus, motivation,and self-confidence, while a negative mood can hinder an athlete’s abilities and affect desired results. The aim of this research is to determine the condition of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) of East Java Female Senior Cricket Athletes before the 2024 Aceh North Sumatra PON. This research method uses descriptive quantitative research with seventeen athletes as the sample in the research and limited only to East Java Senior Female Cricket Athletes. The results of the research shows that the “Medium” category with the highest percentage is the anger indicator (AMR) at 72.27%, and the confused mood indicator (SSB) at 72.10%. Indicators with a medium percentage include indicators of full energy (PNT), self-assessment (PDR), and depression (DPS) of 70.59%. The percentage of fatigue indicators (KLH) was 69.08% and the indicator with the lowest category was the tension indicator (KTG) at 68.07%. The conclusion of the research on Profile of Mood States (POMS) Condition Analysis for East Java Women’s Senior Cricket Athletes before the 2024 Aceh North Sumatra PON was in “Medium” condition. Negative mood conditions in the “Medium” category such as fatigue, anger, tension, confusion and depression indicate that athletes are not feeling stressed mentally and physically. Meanwhile, positive mood conditions in the “Medium” category make athletes have a good mood, such as being full of energy and self-confidence. This is possible because the training portion is good and the conditions for the 2024 Aceh North Sumatra PON are still quite long. So, there are still many athletes who experience good mood conditions.

Effect of Feeding Duration with Different Levels of Culled E. Cottonii on Consumption, Nutrient Digestibility, Growth and Body Composition of Early Weaned Balinese Calves

/in /by

The study aimed to evaluate the duration of complete feed containing culled red seaweed (E. cottonii) with different levels on nutrient utilisation, growth and body composition of early weaned Bali cattle calves. A total of 24 Bali cattle calves (initial BW ± 30-40 kg; 2-3 months old) were used in this study. Bali cattle calves were randomly grouped by initial body weight and placed in 4 different treatments following a group randomised design pattern. The 4 treatments were:  CT0 = complete feed containing no cull ECOT; CT5 = complete feed containing 5% cull ECOT; CT10 = complete feed containing 10% cull ECOT and CT15 = complete feed containing 15% cull ECOT. The data obtained were analysed by analysis of variance followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test using SPSS 24 software. Feeding ECOT culls with different lengths of time and levels had a significant effect (P<0.05) on increasing consumption and nutrient digestibility of early weaned Balinese calves, but there was no interaction effect (P>0.05) between the length of time and level of ECOT culled on body weight gain and linear body size of early weaned Balinese calves. The same was true for body composition (meat and fat). The treatment also significantly (P<0.05) influenced the increase in bone weight in cattle treated with 5% cull ECOT and 10% cull ECOT. It was concluded that the use of culled ECOT up to 15% in complete feed could not increase the consumption and digestibility of nutrients but the duration of feeding affected the dry matter consumption and bone development of early weaned Bali cattle calves.

Enhancing Sustainable Banking Practices: Implementing the Besgi Framework to Indonesian Bank

/in /by

Climate change, a global issue largely caused by human activities, is now beginning to be addressed by the G20, including financial institutions. Indonesia, as part of the G20, is implementing a sustainable finance program to improve the financing, durability, and competitiveness of financial services institutions. This study evaluates the adoption of sustainable banking practices in Indonesia within the context of global climate change initiatives. Using the Banks’ Environmental, Social, Governance, and Indirect Impact (BESGI) framework, which provides a comprehensive assessment of banks’ ESG performance using the Multidimensional Synthesis of Indicators (MSI) aggregation method. The BESGI performance of 14 Indonesian banks from 2020-2022 was assessed, revealing varying results of fluctuating data with Mandiri scoring the highest in year 2021 and BTN the lowest in year 2020. The findings indicate a growing emphasis on sustainable finance within the Indonesian banking sector in terms of financing and investment. The BESGI Score has insignificant results on banks’ performance and stability. However, further research is essential to comprehend the implications of these practices on the performance and stability of banks.

/in /by

The Kediri City Government and the Regional Development Planning Agency are committed to accelerating the economic recovery of the Kediri city community after the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, by focusing on MSME capital, the program named Kredit Usaha Melayani Warga or abbreviated as KOPERASI provides very low interest loans of 2% per year for business people in Kediri city. In the utilization of this credit, it turns out that there are still bottlenecks in installments, which if allowed to continue, will have an impact on financial losses and also not achieve the goal of community economic recovery. So that the government needs an in-depth study as a real form of handling bad credit and also the concept of effective and efficient KOPERASI program governance. This research uses a quantitative descriptive approach, by applying the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Starting from making questionnaires and determining respondents. The respondents selected were 7 experts, namely, officials at the Kediri City Cooperative & UMTK Office, lecturers at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Nusantara PGRI Kediri, and MSME beneficiaries of the KOPERASI program. Then the answers are assessed and compared to produce a scale as a determination of the most effective method of overcoming bad credit.
