This research focuses on empirical analysis of the effect of credit relaxation policy on the sustainability of Batik MSMEs in Solo. This research is motivated by the negative impact of the spread of the Corona virus (Covid-19) pandemic on the economic sector in Solo, especially in the Batik MSMEs, which is one of the mainstay affected industries. A more in-depth study of the effectiveness and influence of this implementation on the sustainability of batikMSMEs in the city of Solo is needed, especially from the perspective of direct MSMEs.

The Empirical Analysis

Independent functioning in the economic market appears as a multidimensional task, requiring its participants practical skills as well as, to an ever-greater extent, formal knowledge. It includes knowledge of applicable legal regulations, required in the economic sector, which is approved by the participant. The ability to use legal knowledge quickly turns out to be one of those factors that are of significant progressive or regressive importance for the functioning of the entrepreneur and his business. This publication focuses on research on the meaning and dependence of legal regulations for entrepreneurship education. The point of gravity is the empirical analysis of the universality of legal knowledge and its impact on shaping entrepreneurial attitudes as well as functioning on the economic market.

Abstract. In this article, the authors provide an empirical analysis of the obtrusiveness of and participants' compliance with a relatively new psychological ambulatory assessment method, called the electronically activated recorder or EAR. The EAR is a modified portable audio-recorder that periodically records snippets of ambient sounds from participants' daily environments. In tracking moment-to-moment ambient sounds, the EAR yields an acoustic log of a person's day as it unfolds. As a naturalistic observation sampling method, it provides an observer's account of daily life and is optimized for the assessment of audible aspects of participants' naturally-occurring social behaviors and interactions. Measures of self-reported and behaviorally-assessed EAR obtrusiveness and compliance were analyzed in two samples. After an initial 2-h period of relative obtrusiveness, participants habituated to wearing the EAR and perceived it as fairly unobtrusive both in a short-term (2 days, N = 96) and a longer-term (10-11 days, N = 11) monitoring. Compliance with the method was high both during the short-term and longer-term monitoring. Somewhat reduced compliance was identified over the weekend; this effect appears to be specific to student populations. Important privacy and data confidentiality considerations around the EAR method are discussed.
