The Opportunity of Applying Digital Currency in SEKEM community Egypt

This paper examines the opportunity of applying digital currency in a sustainable community called SEKEM, where SEKEM is always encouraging innovation practices that focus on developing their community in a sustainable way. A framework has been suggested by utilizing readymade SEKEM MIZA extracted from Cyclos 4 system after redesign according to proposal framework targets, then making initial survey to measure questionnaire reliability which exceed 0.8. A descriptive research methodology utilized to identify the success opportunity of applying such framework in SEKEM community by questionnaire survey designed for such purpose on a convenient sample of 114 respondents. It was found that applying digital currency in such community will lead to explore opportunities to reduce the cost of living and education for community respondents and also add value to SEKEM as a special business pattern.

Association of Cooking Patterns with Inflammatory and Cardio-Metabolic Risk Biomarkers

Diet has been clearly associated with cardiovascular disease, but few studies focus on the influence of cooking and food preservation methods on health. The aim of this study was to describe cooking and food preservation patterns, as well as to examine their association with inflammatory and cardio-metabolic biomarkers in the Spanish adult population. A cross-sectional study of 10,010 individuals, representative of the Spanish population, aged 18 years or over was performed using data from the ENRICA study. Food consumption data were collected through a face-to-face dietary history. Cooking and food preservation patterns were identified by factor analysis with varimax rotation. Linear regression models adjusted for main confounders were built. Four cooking and food preservation patterns were identified. The Spanish traditional pattern (positively correlated with boiling and sautéing, brining, and light frying) tends to be cardio-metabolically beneficial (with a reduction in C-reactive protein (−7.69%)), except for high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), insulin levels, and anthropometrics. The health-conscious pattern (negatively correlated with battering, frying, and stewing) tends to improve renal function (with a reduction in urine albumin (−9.60%) and the urine albumin/creatinine ratio (−4.82%)). The youth-style pattern (positively correlated with soft drinks and distilled alcoholic drinks and negatively with raw food consumption) tends to be associated with good cardio-metabolic health except, for lower HDL-c (−6.12%), higher insulin (+6.35%), and higher urine albumin (+27.8%) levels. The social business pattern (positively correlated with the consumption of fermented alcoholic drinks, food cured with salt or smoke, and cured cheese) tends to be detrimental for the lipid profile (except HDL-c), renal function (urine albumin +8.04%), diastolic blood pressure (+2.48%), and anthropometrics. Cooking and food preservation patterns showed a relationship with inflammatory and cardio-metabolic health biomarkers. The Spanish traditional pattern and the health-conscious pattern were associated with beneficial effects on health and should be promoted. The youth-style pattern calls attention to some concerns, and the social business pattern was the most detrimental one. These findings support the influence of cooking and preservation patterns on health.

Measuring Customer Equity in Noncontractual Settings Using a Diffusion Model: An Empirical Study of Mobile Payments Aggregator

Customers are important intangible assets of firms. Customer equity (CE) and customer equity sustainability ratio (CESR) cannot only provide a crucial basis for measuring the growth potential of firms but also provide managers a reference standard to allocate the marketing resource. This empirical study discussed the CE measurement of a mobile payments aggregator. With the rapid development of mobile payment in China, it is very meaningful to calculate the CE of these aggregators as an emerging business pattern because calculating CE cannot only help the mobile payments aggregator evaluate its future business development but also help it to provide value-added services and generate service fee from its clients, i.e., the retailers. The main purpose of this paper is to calculate CE of a mobile payments aggregator generated from a specific retailer from the perspective of technology diffusion. Based on the Bass model and Rogers’ theory of innovation diffusion, we calculated CE and CESR for five segments, namely innovators, early adopters, early majorities, late majorities, and laggards. The results show that it is the early adopters and the early majorities who generate most of the profit and it is also these two segments that have the greatest growth potential in the future.

Studi Komparatif Tingkat Value Added Antara Usaha Ternak Sapi Pola Integrasi Dengan Pola Mandiri (Studi Kasus Pada PT. Integrasi Sawit Sapi Batang Hari Dengan Masyarakat Desa Petajen)

This research is a comparative study between the integration of cattle with independent patterns (Case Study at PT. Batang Sawit Palm Integration with Petajen villagers). The purpose of this research is (1) to find out the cost component of the integration of cattle production patterns at PT Batang Batang Hari Integration with the independent pattern of the Petajen village community. (2) to find out the basic cost of beef cattle production in the integration pattern in PT Batang Hari Cow Integration with the independent pattern of the Petajen village community. (3) to find out the level of value added of cattle integration business pattern in PT Batang Hari Cow Integration with the independent pattern of Petajen village community. The research method used in this research is quantitative descriptive, by looking for a comparison (comparative) between cattle business integration patterns in PT Batang Batang Hari Integration with independent patterns of Petajen village community. From the research results obtained the results of the level of value added (added value) in every sale of one cow in the integration pattern of Rp. 3,187,500, while the level of value added in each sale of one cow in the independent pattern is Rp.1,146,000. The level of value added (value added) in the integration pattern is greater than the level of value added in the independent pattern.

Exploring resilience: use of indicators to measure threshold conditions in tourism destinations

To measure threshold conditions of tourism destinations, the study proposes resilience indicators that were derived from multiple community resilience models. Five input capitals, (economic, social, institutional, infrastructure, and visitors), along with the indicators are proposed to produce a single composite destination resilience score that allows for comparisons among multiple destinations. To illustrate their utility, the paper applies the indicators to two major tourism destinations: Orlando, Florida and New Orleans, Louisiana. Data were gathered through multiple sources (e.g., census data, STR Trends Report, County Business Pattern of North American Industry Classification System). The results suggest that tourism destinations can increase their resilience by using the proposed indicators to target specific programs, plans, or investments. These indicators provide a first step in understanding the dimensions of destination resilience and the fundamental variables contributing to it.
