This study aims to determine the effect of intellectual capital, leverage, and company size on profitability and their impact on company value in the food and beverage sub-sector.
This research is quantitative empirical research using hypothesis research that examines the significant influence and direction of the direct and indirect relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable through the intervening variable. This study used a sample of food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on the IDX for 2012–2022 using a purposive sampling method where 45 companies were obtained from the population and 14 companies were selected according to predetermined criteria.
Based on statistical test results, it was found that intellectual capital partially had a negative and insignificant effect on profitability, while leverage and company size had a positive and significant effect on profitability. Partially, intellectual capital, leverage and profitability have a positive and significant effect on company value, while company size has a negative and insignificant effect on company value. Partially, the results of the Sobel Test Path Analysis indirectly mean that profitability as an intervening variable is not able to mediate the influence of intellectual capital and leverage on company value, while directly profitability as an intervening variable is able to mediate the influence of company size on company value.
The present research used the electrospinning method to apply a polyvinyl alcohol/titanium dioxide (PVA/TiO2) layer over a conductive textile (70 % polyester and 30 % cotton) sheet. PVA with 10, 12.5, and 15 g concentrations was mixed into 100 ml distilled water. Then, each PVA solution was mixed with 1.5 wt.% of TiO2. Afterward, the electrospinning method applied a PVA/TiO2 composite onto a conductive textile sheet. Various characterizations were conducted, such as resistivity, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforming infrared (FTIR), and photocatalytic activity. The resistivity result is 9.5, 10, and 10 for A, B, and C samples. According to SEM investigation, higher PVA concentration leads to higher fiber sizes around 0.65 µm. An increase in PVA content does not affect the bands that were formed. The size of the fiber diameter contributed to the photocatalytic activity of MB. A smaller fiber diameter could enhance photocatalytic activity.
This study investigates the impact of live-streaming commerce on the Indonesian fashion industry, with a specific focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It explores how factors like perceived media richness, price fairness, electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), social media marketing, and brand image influence consumer purchase intentions. The research methodology includes a survey of Indonesian consumers who have engaged in shopping for fashion products via live streaming at least once in the past three months. The findings analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), reveal the pivotal role of media richness, price fairness, and social media marketing in shaping purchase intentions, with brand image emerging as a key mediator. However, electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) shows less impact. indicating a complex market dynamic. The findings highlight the effectiveness of live streaming as a marketing and sales tool in the digital era. The study contributes valuable insights for SMEs looking to optimize their digital strategies and enhance sales effectiveness in the rapidly evolving e-commerce landscape.
The aim of this work was to determine the actions needed to adopt and adapt Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) for efficient and responsible use in the organization, without affecting the contribution of the collaborator to his/her work activities. A bibliographic review of the scientific literature and information published by consulting companies on the current development of research related to GenAI and its impact on organizations was carried out. Artificial intelligence search tools, academic search engines were used, and criteria for the inclusion and exclusion of publications were established. As a result, necessary actions were identified for the adoption, adaptation, efficient and responsible use, and interaction of GenAI with employees in their work environment. These actions include the adjustment of processes, infrastructure, and resources; capacity-building for integration and a culture of innovation, protocol development, staff training, creation of flexible and supportive working environments, collaboration with regulators, transformation of work; and alignment of staff management practices. It was concluded that GenAI is having a major impact on organizations by automating processes and increasing productivity and efficiency. It is essential to address actions in three categories: staff training, fostering a culture of innovation, ethics, and accountability in the use of this technology, and its efficient adoption and adaptation without affecting the contribution of employees. This research helps to identify the elements needed to deepen research development and define, in real contexts, the effectiveness of the adoption and efficient adaptation of GenAI in internal processes and interaction with collaborators, with the aim of promoting best practices that generate value through its use.
This study explored the relationship between the Intelligent Career Theory framework (ICTF) and the MBA’s Program Educational Objectives (PEO). Employing a self-reported questionnaire survey with 11 MBA graduates from the past five years, the research examined graduates’ perceptions of the program’s effectiveness in fostering skills and knowledge aligned with the core ICTF components: Knowing Why (Intrinsic motivation and career goals), Knowing How (Knowledge & skills), and Knowing Whom (professional networks & mentors). Pearson’s correlation coefficients were utilized to analyze the relationship between these ICTF components and the program’s PEOs. The Permutations were employed to deal with the limitations of a small sample. The significant correlation between the ICTF components and PEOs with the relative strength of know-why and weakness of know-whom provide insight into the program’s alignment with career intelligence development. Recommendations for curriculum improvement and ongoing program evaluation based on the ICTF framework are presented. This study highlights the value of ICTF as a tool for enhancing MBA programs and empowering graduates for successful careers.
Cancer had become a common disease worldwide and cancer related death is also increasing in various parts of the world in spite of increased screening and diagnostic facilities available for early detection of cancer and availability of advanced care system. Changes in the diet and life style had led to alteration in the microenvironment of the cells leading to genetic changes and mutation. In this review, Colorectal cancer prevalence, risk factors for the development of colorectal cancer, pathogenesis, diagnosis and various treatment modalities available are discussed here.
Research on new plant-based insecticides meets the need for an alternative to address mosquito resistance to synthetic insecticides. This study assessed the adulticidal activity and synergistic effects of essential oils (EOs) from Citrus aurantiifolia peels and Hyptis spicigera leaves on female adults of Anopheles gambiae s.l. The extraction yields were on the order of 0.17 and 0.11%, respectively, for C. aurantiifolia and H. Spicigera EOs obtained by hydrodistillation. The phytochemical composition of the EOs was analysed by Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). GC-MS revealed that the essential oils of C. aurantiifolia and H. spicigera contained high amounts of monoterpene compounds (100% and 77.45%, respectively). Adulticidal activity was assessed using WHO and CDC bottle bioassays at concentrations of 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mg/ml/btl. The EOs of both plants caused significant concentration-dependent Knock down and adulticidal activities. Individually, H. spicigera EOs had more adulticidal effects (LC50 = 4.42 mg/ml/btl) than did C. aurantiifolia EOs (LC50 = 6.79 mg/ml/btl). An EO mixture 25%Ca + 75%Hs from C. aurantiifolia and H. spicigera had synergistic effects (CI = 142.84; SF = 1.42) on female Anopheles gambiae adults. Combinations of the two plant EOs considerably optimize their insecticidal effectiveness.
