Introduction: High-fiber diabetes-specific formulas (DSFs) are designed to support glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), particularly those requiring nutritional support. Despite their potential benefits, evidence regarding their short-term effects on blood glucose levels and insulin requirements remains limited. This case report explores the impact of an oral DSF on glycemic control in an elderly patient with T2DM over a four-day inpatient period. Case: A 70-year-old overweight woman (BMI 24.6 kg/m²) was hospitalized due touncontrolled hyperglycemia (HbA1c 10.6%, fasting glucose 469 mg/dL) with poor oral intake (< 50% of needs) secondary to nausea and vomiting. A standardized DSF was administered orally alongside a diabetic soft diet for 4 days. DSF was introduced at 150 mL three times daily and titrated to 200 mL twice daily, contributing to a total intake of approximately 1,500 kcal/day. Insulin doses (10 IU regular insulin three times a day) remained unchanged. Monitoring included daily fasting glucose and clinical tolerance. Fasting blood glucose decreased from 469 mg/dL on day 1 to 260 mg/dL by day 4. The patient showed improved oral intake (up to 75% of caloric needs) and better appetite without gastrointestinal complaints. No hypoglycemia episodes or insulin dose adjustments were necessary. Discussion: During the four-day observation period, fasting blood glucose decreased progressively from 469 mg/dL to 260 mg/dL without modification of insulin dosage. Oral intake improved to approximately 75% of estimated needs, and no hypoglycemic episodes or gastrointestinal intolerance were observed. The improvement in glycemic trends occurred alongside structured nutritional support and consistent insulin therapy. Conclusion: Short-term administration of a high-fiber DSF improved glycemic trends and nutritional intake in an elderly T2DM patient without adverse effects. DSF can be an effective adjunct in individualized medical nutrition therapy to support glycemic stabilization during hospitalization.

This study offers a green methodology for synthesis of nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) employing Aeonium Arboreum (A. arboreum) extract and the removal of paracetamol from aqueous solution. This methodology was optimized by varying key parameters, achieving 0.5M nickel chloride, a 1:4 extract-to-metal ratio, pH 12, 48 h reaction time, and 40°C as the optimal condition for stable Ni NPs. The stability and properties of the nanoparticles are confirmed by employing different characterization instruments including UV-vis spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive x-ray, dynamic light scattering analysis x-ray diffraction, and zeta potential. The synthesized Ni NPs demonstrated significant potential for paracetamol removal, achieving highest removal of 53.5%, corresponding to an adsorption capacity (qe) of 8.56mg g- 1, from aqueous solutions under optimized conditions (75mg Ni NPs, 40ppm paracetamol, pH 12, and 90min contact time). The adsorption behavior indicated strong interactions among Ni NPs and paracetamol, enhancing their potential in water treatment applications. This methodology demonstrates the applications of green synthesized Ni NPs for sustainable environmental remediation aligned with the sustainable development goals.

Pembangunan ekonomi lokal melalui sektor Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) merupakan strategi krusial untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat di Dusun Cipadung, Kabupaten Sumedang. Meskipun memiliki peran vital, pelaku UMKM di wilayah ini menghadapi tantangan signifikan dalam menerapkan manajemen keuangan yang efektif dan mengakses permodalan formal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis praktik manajemen keuangan yang diterapkan oleh pelaku UMKM serta mengidentifikasi kendala struktural yang dihadapi dalam mengakses sumber pembiayaan untuk pengembangan usaha. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan melalui teknik triangulasi yang melibatkan wawancara mendalam terhadap informan kunci (pelaku UMKM) dan informan pendukung (lembaga keuangan dan pemerintah desa), observasi partisipatif, serta dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data menggunakan model interaktif yang terdiri dari reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masalah utama UMKM di Dusun Cipadung adalah rendahnya literasi keuangan, yang terwujud dalam praktik pencampuran dana (commingling) dan ketiadaan catatan transaksi harian yang konsisten pada lebih dari 60% informan kunci. Kelemahan manajerial ini secara langsung menciptakan asimetri informasi yang tinggi, yang menjadi penyebab utama kesulitan UMKM dalam mengakses pembiayaan formal di samping keterbatasan agunan fisik berupa aset bersertifikat. Akibatnya, banyak pelaku usaha terpaksa bergantung pada modal informal berisiko tinggi karena faktor kecepatan dan kemudahan akses. Implikasi dari temuan ini menekankan urgensi intervensi kebijakan yang responsif melalui penyelenggaraan pelatihan keuangan praktis yang fokus pada pemisahan dana dan pencatatan sederhana, serta mendorong adopsi model Pembiayaan Berbasis Aliran Kas (Cash Flow-Based Lending) oleh lembaga keuangan formal. Kesimpulan menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan kapasitas manajerial dan reformasi syarat pembiayaan adalah kunci untuk mencapai pertumbuhan UMKM yang berkelanjutan.

Increasing microplastic pollution in the environment raises concern about toxic risks to living organisms, and one important health risk involves immune system disruption, which can be observed through changes in leukocyte counts. This study aims to analyze the effect of microplastic exposure on leukocyte numbers in white rats (Rattus norvegicus) as an early indicator of environmental toxicity and health risk. The research also seeks to provide scientific evidence that can support environmental management policies and human health protection strategies. An experimental design was applied in which rats were divided into one control group and several treatment groups, and each treatment group received oral microplastic exposure at different doses over a specific period while FTIR spectroscopy (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) was used to characterize the microplastic particles before administration. After the exposure period, blood samples were collected and leukocyte counts were measured using a hematology analyzer, and statistical analysis was then performed to compare leukocyte levels across all groups. The results showed that rats exposed to microplastics exhibited increased leukocyte counts above the normal range during both week one and week two, and these elevated counts were observed across groups that received different doses of microplastics. The rise in leukocyte numbers indicates an inflammatory response and immunological stress caused by microplastic exposure, and furthermore, the findings suggest that microplastics not only produce toxic effects but also tend to accumulate and remain in the body for extended periods. In conclusion, microplastic exposure has a significant effect on leukocyte counts in white rats, and this effect reflects immune system disturbance and potential disruption of immunological homeostasis. Consequently, microplastics should be recognized as an important threat in environmental toxicology, and continued research and regulatory attention are necessary to address the risks that microplastics pose to both ecological systems and human health

Koperasi Pemasaran Mitra Jaya Mandiri Ciwidey as a marketing cooperative focused on managing and selling fresh cow’s milk produced by its member farmers. The milk business unit faces some challenges in increasing sales volume. One of the problems addressed in this study is the suboptimal marketing communication strategy, which has not yet reached end consumers broadly and sustainably. Although the cooperative has established close relationships with consumers, the communication approach used is still unstructured and has not fully leveraged the potential of other promotional media. This study aims to analyze the marketing communication strategies applied by the cooperative to increase the sales of fresh cow’s milk to end consumers. The communication strategies examined include Public Relations, Personal Selling, and Direct Marketing. Data were collected through questionnaires from end-consumer respondents and analyzed using descriptive statistical tabulation. The results indicate that Personal Selling is the most effective communication dimension in influencing purchasing decisions, while Public Relations requires improvement, particularly in delivering product information. Direct Marketing is proven effective in facilitating access to product information and ordering for consumers. Overall, the communication strategies implemented by the cooperative increase sales volume, but the purchase frequency still needs to be enhanced through additional strategies, such as regular promotions or loyalty programs

Cooperatives, as family-based entities, have a fundamental goal of creating economic well-being for their members. This goal is reflected not only in direct economic benefits in the form of Net Operating Surplus (SHU), but also in indirect economic benefits that are long-term and strategic. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence member participation in cooperative decision-making and business activities, and to measure the contribution of these indirect economic benefits to the creation of economic value for members. This study uses the Economic Value Added (EVA) approach as a quantitative measurement tool to capture the economic value added generated by cooperatives for their members beyond the distribution of SHU. The research method used is a case study with quantitative and qualitative approaches at the West Java Provincial Government Employees Cooperative in Bandung City. Data were collected through questionnaires to measure member participation and financial report documentation studies for EVA calculations. The analysis results show that member participation factors, especially in monitoring and utilization of services, have a significant relationship with member perceptions of indirect economic benefits. The EVA calculation reveals that the cooperative has succeeded in creating positive economic value for its members, where this value represents indirect benefits in the form of increased access, security, and economic stability obtained by members. This study concludes that active member participation is a catalyst in maximizing the economic value added created by cooperatives, thereby strengthening the sustainability and relevance of cooperatives as pillars of a member-based economy.

This study aims to formulate a spin-off model for Savings and Loan Units (USP) into independent Savings and Loan Cooperatives (KSP), as mandated by the Regulation of the Minister of Cooperatives and SMEs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 of 2023. The study uses a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews and document analysis at the Bandung City Government Employees Cooperative (KPKB), whose USP assets exceed 50% of the cooperative's total assets. The study findings indicate that a successful spin-off requires comprehensive preparation in several key aspects: institutional and legal compliance, organizational restructuring, membership separation, asset and capital division, human resource readiness, and operational infrastructure. Based on these considerations, the study proposes a multi-stage spin-off model that includes: (1) member approval through the Annual Members Meeting (RAT), (2) preparation of a legal deed, (3) registration through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, and (4) establishment of an independent KSP governance structure. The main challenges identified include regulatory complexity, administrative readiness, member acceptance, and initial operational costs. Conversely, spin-offs offer significant opportunities to improve financial transparency and accountability, service focus, and long-term business sustainability. This model provides practical guidance for cooperatives undergoing similar mandatory transitions and contributes to the evolving literature on cooperative restructuring and compliance with financial sector regulations.
