This study aims to predict the impact of the understanding of halal certification by Small Medium Enterprise (SME) entrepreneurs on the intention to conduct halal certification. This study was conducted in the Cooperative and SME Office of Surakarta City. The Halal Certification Comprehension Rate was assessed using three variables.   We had knowledge of halal (PGT), perceived halal certification advantages (MNF), and perceived halal certification procedures (PROS).  Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was used for data analysis.  The results show that SMEs have a good knowledge of halal and agree that halal certification is beneficial to their businesses.  We found, though, that the processes for handling Halal Certification are relatively complex. Based on the study, the perception of Halal Certification Benefits (MNF) is significantly affected by the intention of SMEs to conduct Halal Certification (NHL). The other two results show a positive correlation. However, they are not statistically significant.This study aims to predict the impact of the understanding of halal certification by Small Medium Enterprise (SME) entrepreneurs on the intention to conduct halal certification.

<p align="center"><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p><em>DJP </em><em>continues to optimize the collection of tax returns by facilitating a technology-based tax service system, one of which is e-filing that has been running since 2016. </em><em>However, e-filing turned out to have less influence on the delivery of </em><em>Tax Returns (SPT) as reflected in the electronic SPT monitoring data that only met 78% of the 2017 target. This is caused by various problems that arise during the use of e-filing such as individual technology capabilities, loss of efin, forgetting DJP Online account passwords to lack of awareness about the importance of submitting SPT. Problems encounter during the use of e-filing are the basis for evaluating the continued use of e-filling in Palembang. The development of a conceptual model was conducted to evaluate the sustainability of the use of e-filing. The development of a conceptual model basically has a scarcity of supporting theories used and has a complex model. To overcome this problem, Partial Least Squares (PLS) Structural Equation Model (SEM) could be applied to. The results of data analysis found that information quality and service quality did not have a positive influence on the sustainability of the use of e-filing and the level of correlation between information quality, system quality, service quality, and individual ability was still small towards the sustainability of the use of e-filing. The findings of this research are very important for the KPP Pratama in Palembang to analyze the sustainability of the use of e-filing that has been proven empirically, multidimensional and in a specific context. This knowledge could be used as a reference to improve overall quality of taxation for the sake of sustainable use of e-filing.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keyword</em></strong><strong><em>s </em></strong><em>: </em><em>SPT, </em><em>e</em><em>-filing, PLS SEM</em></p><p align="center"><strong><em>Abstrak</em></strong></p><p><em>DJP terus berupaya mengoptimalkan pengumpulan Surat Pemberitahuan Tahunan (SPT) pajak dengan memfasilitasi sistem pelayanan perpajakan berbasis teknologi, salah satunya adalah e-filing yang telah berjalan sejak tahun 2016. Namun, e-filing ternyata kurang berpengaruh terhadap penyampaian SPT yang tergambar pada data hasil monitoring SPT elektronik yang hanya memenuhi 78% dari target sasaran tahun 2017. Hal ini disebabkan oleh berbagai masalah yang muncul selama pemanfaatan e-filing seperti kemampuan teknologi individu, kehilangan efin, lupa password akun DJP Online hingga kurangnya kesadaran tentang pentingnya penyampaian SPT. Permasalahan selama penggunaan e-filing menjadi dasar untuk melakukan evaluasi terhadap keberlangsungan penggunaan e-filling di Palembang. Pengembangan model konseptual dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi keberlanjutan penggunaan e-filing. Pengembangan model konseptual pada dasarnya memiliki kelangkaan teori-teori pendukung yang digunakan dan memiliki model yang kompleks. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini dapat menggunakan Partial Least Squares (PLS) Structural Equation Model (SEM). Hasil analisis data mendapatkan temuan bahwa kualitas informasi dan kualitas layanan tidak memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap keberlanjutan penggunaan e-filing dan tingkat korelasi antara kualitas informasi, kualitas system, kualitas layanan, dan kemampuan individual masih kecil terhadap keberlanjutan penggunaan e-filing. Temuan peneliti ini sangat penting bagi pihak KPP Pratama kota Palembang untuk menganalisa keberlanjutan penggunaan e-filing yang telah dibuktikan secara empiris, multidimensional dan konteks yang spesifik. Pengetahuan ini dapat dapat menjadi acuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas secara keseluruhan demi keberlanjutan penggunaan e-filing.</em></p><p><strong><em>Kata kunci</em></strong><em> : SPT, e-filing, PLS SEM, </em></p>

The Relationship

Institution of higher learning in Malaysia has implemented an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) since 2007. Among the crucial components of OBE were the Program Education Objectives (PEOs) and Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs). The development of PEOs has to take into consideration the involvement of stakeholders, in order to address their needs and requirements and also must in line with the institutional vision and mission. PLOs, on the other hand, has to be aligned with PEOs to attain OBE. The study withal strive the relationship between PLOs and PEOs in OBE by using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) approach as the sample size was too small to utilize Structural Equation Modelling-Analysis of Moment Structure (SEM-AMOS). A simple random sampling was used to select 90 teachers throughout Malaysia. The selected teachers were a graduate of Sultan Idris Education University's (UPSI) Mathematics Education Degree (BEd Maths). From the analysis, it revealed that all the relationships in the developed model were significant at p<0.001. The results indicated that the developed model was strengthened by empirical analysis and in parallel with the preceding findings and theoretical framework. Apart of PEOs and PLOs path model, the study also successfully validated all the indicator variables depicted in PEOs and PLOs measurement model. This study had successfully developed and evaluated PEOs and PLOs relationship in OBE by means of structural equation model through PLS-SEM approach. In conclusions, the relationship between PEOs and PLOs can not only be expressed qualitatively, but also be modeled in the structural equation.

Background: Most Indonesians with hyperuricemia are less than 40 years old, which suggests an increasing gout risk in the country. Meanwhile, untreated hyperuricemia was also suggested to lead to hypertension. Yet, it is unclear whether blood pressure (BP) plays a mediating role between urate and gout. Objective: We investigated the mediating effect of BP between urate and gout risk in Indonesians using a partial least squares-structural equation model. Method: A community-based retrospective case-control study was conducted between July 1 and August 31, 2019 in Indonesia. We randomly recruited 397 participants, including 86 patients with gout and 311 healthy controls from seven community health service centers. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to analyze the adjusted odds ratios of the association between risk factors, such as urate level and BP, and gout risk after controlling for other covariates. A path analysis was utilized to analyze the mediating effect of systolic BP between urate and gout. The STROBE reporting guideline for the observational study is adopted in our reporting. Result: We found that a 1 mg/dL increase of urate level significantly increased gout risk with an OR of 4.97 (95% CI: 3.48–7.09) and an AOR of 4.44 (95% CI: 3.07 –6.42) after adjusting for covariates. The association between urate and gout was also significantly mediated by systolic BP (β = 0.05; 95% CI Bias Corrected [0.02–0.08], p < 0.001). Conclusion: Urate was significantly associated with gout risk and was possibly mediated by increased systolic BP in Indonesians. Controlling systolic BP could be one of the strategies to decrease the risk of gout for individuals with hyperuricemia. Health education can be carried out by community health nurses to individuals on controlling their urate level and systolic BP to decrease the gout risk among Indonesian.
