Abstract

The paper also aims to examine how the characteristics of the digital age have affected the fiscal policies and economic growth and income distribution, and the political economy that underpins policymaking. With advancing technologies transforming the economy around the globe, conventional oriental ways of debtor nation treaties to solve fiscal measures’ weaknesses including the incapability to address increasing income disparity and sectoral imbalance. Thus, this work based on the qualitative research method involves the interviews of policymakers, economists, and stakeholders to identify their motives and concerns associated with fiscal outcomes. As this study establishes, digital economies may hold potential for economies to expand, these digital economies also perpetuate income disparity as shown where gig workers and sectors that are locked out of digital incentives are concerned. These shifts pose a risk to governments’ ability to fund critical expenses; however, the study calls for fiscals’ policies to embrace innovations with policies that promote fairness in resource distribution. In addition, it also highlights the position of political factors in the fiscal actions pointing that policies are made based on political beliefs and democracy interests of certain political positions. The research provides new insights to the existing literature through providing detailed knowledge of the relationship between fiscal policy, growth, and income distribution in the backdrop of digitalization. Accordingly, the need for local and revolutionary fiscal interventions that will fund the fair distribution of new-technology prosperity and promote responsible and inclusive new-economy growth are highlighted.

Abstract

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and frass application have drawn interest as ways to increase plant productivity. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of frass and PGPR application on the growth and yield of kailan. The effects of varying frass dosages/F (0, 15, 20, and 25 tons ha-1) and PGPR concentrations/P (0, 5, and 12.5 mL L-1) on plant height, leaf number, leaf area, scaffold weight, and leaf weight per plant at 14, 21, and 28 days after planting (DAP) were examined. The growth of plants was generally enhanced by increasing dosages of frass and PGPR. The treatment F25P5 consistently produced the best results across all parameters, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing plant growth and yield. Positive correlations between plant height, leaf area, and leaf weight per plant (0.99) were found using correlation analysis, suggesting that leaf expansion is essential for biomass accumulation. Plant height, leaf number, and biomass-related parameters clustered together, confirming their interdependence in growth, and principal component analysis (PCA) showed that PC1 explained 94.09% of the variance. The results highlight that while excessive doses of frass and PGPR may have declining effects, balanced treatments significantly increase plant productivity. Optimizing the dosage of Frass and Rhizobia is crucial to achieving the best results for Brassica oleracea. Frass 25 tons ha-1 and PGPR 5 mL L-1 appear to be the most effective treatment.

Abstract

This study focuses on improving warehouse management for Toko Kharisma, a Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) located in Batam City, which sells various school supplies. The initial assessment revealed inefficiencies in warehouse utilization, including disorganized storage, lack of material handling equipment, and manual processes that hinder operational efficiency. To address these issues, the proposed solutions include transitioning from folding storage to box storage, optimizing warehouse layout, implementing a systematic labeling system, and introducing material handling tools such as hand trolleys. Space requirements were calculated based on inventory volume and throughput to ensure effective design. The implementation plan also includes considerations for safety, accessibility, and workflow optimization. The expected outcomes of these improvements are enhanced inventory control, faster picking processes, reduced errors, and improved productivity. By adopting these strategies, Toko Kharisma can achieve better space utilization, operational efficiency, and sustainable business growth in a competitive retail environment.
