This study was conducted to examine general information of tax obligations and perceived tax compliance for small and medium enterprises in the district of Gia Lam district. To achieve these objectives, 150 small and medium enterprises were randomly selected and analyzed using descriptive analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results show that most of enterprises got difficulties in register, declare and pay taxes, and nearly half of them had submitted taxes lately. Besides, perceived tax compliance of enterprises could be divided into five key factors, including: "Quality of tax services"; "society norms"; "Technology Application"; "Enterprise responsibility "; and "Quality of tax officials". Based on these results, some recommendations could give to the tax authorities in order to improve tax regulations and policies.

<p><em>Abstrak</em> - <strong>Sertifikasi Halal suatu produk pangan tentu meningkatkan kepercayaan konsumen pada produk pangan tersebut. Akan tetapi, kriteria ‘halal’ tidaklah cukup jika tidak memperhatikan aspek ‘thoyyib’. Masyarakat umumnya mengira bahwa pangan bersertifikat halal sebagai pangan yang ‘thoyyib’. Aspek ‘thoyyib’ yang dimaksudkan adalah aman dikonsumsi dan telah melalui tahapan atau prosedur yang sesuai, sehingga diharapkan tidak menimbulkan efek penyakit bagi konsumen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh deskripsi mengenai penerapan cara produksi pangan yang baik pada industri kecil menengah produk minuman dan bahan minuman yang telah tersertifikasi halal. Pada penelitian ini metode survei dilakukan dengan teknik purposive sampling. Data yang diamati berupa pengetahuan pemilik mengenai CPPB (Cara Produksi Pangan yang Baik) dan ketercapaian penerapan CPPB, terutama pada fasilitas sanitasi, higienitas proses produksi, serta pengawasan proses produksi. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara dan observasi dengan bantuan kuesioner, panduan wawancara, dan lembar observasi. Data dianalisis dengan teknik analisis deskriptif melalui penyajian berbentuk grafik, tabel dan narasi. Data hubungan penerapan CPPB dan sertifikasi halal diolah menggunakan XLSTAT dengan Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa sertifikasi halal pada IKM tidak hanya mencerminkan aspek “halal” tetapi dapat pula mencerminkan aspek “thoyyib” produk yang dihasilkan. Sementara itu, tingkat pengetahuan pemilik IKM tidak dapat mencerminkan tingkat keamanan pangan yang diimplementasikan selama proses produksi. Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh kurangnya kesadaran pemilik dan penanggungjawab IKM dan tidak adanya pengawasan oleh lembaga atau badan yang bertanggungjawab akan kulitas produk.</strong></p><p><em>Abstract</em> – <strong>Consumer trust in food products may increase with halal claims on the product. However, ‘halal’ is different from ‘thoyyib’. People assume that halal food is ‘thoyyib’. ‘Thoyyib’ means good to consume and health for the body. This study aimed to obtain the description of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) holding Halal certification. To gain the purpose, the purposive sampling method was applied to this research. The level of IRTP and knowledge level of GMP were observed. Data were collected by interview and observation. Data were analyzed by descriptive analysis using the graph, table, and narration. Correlation of GMP implementation and the halal claim was provided by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using XLSTAT. Results showed that halal claims on SMEs may reflect the safety of the product. Halal-claimed food might be classified as ‘thoyyib’ food. However, the knowledge level of the owner can not reflect the food safety level of the product.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Keywords</strong><strong> - </strong>CPPB, Halal Certificate, LPPOM MUI, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)</em></p>

The post-harvest processes of coffee are widely accepted as key factors in determining the quality of the product. In the Cauca department, Southwestern Colombia, this stage is carried out empirically by farmers in the region, using old methods that do not assure consistent quality. This study proposes to determine the best post-harvest temperature and time conditions for coffee produced in the region. For this purpose, we carried the fermentation and honey process out on different coffee samples of the Coffea Arabica species of the Castillo variety. Subsequently, the cup profile quality of the coffee samples was determined by a sensory evaluation by experts. Finally, we applied descriptive statistical techniques to the resulting data and principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis to find similarities between the samples. The results suggest that the honey process gets better evaluations in the cup profile over any condition of temperature and fermentation time.

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) represent more than 99% of enterprises in Europe. Therefore, knowledge about this sector, also in the spatial context is important to understand the patterns of economic and social development. The main goal of this article is an analysis of spatial conditions and the situation of MSMEs on a local level using combined sources of information. This includes data collected in the Social Insurance Institution and Tax registers in Poland, which provides information on the employment, wages, revenues and taxes paid by the MSMEs on a local level as well as contextual statistical information. The data is used for a diagnosis of spatial circumstances and discussion of conditions influencing the status of the MSMEs sector in a selected region (voivodeship) in Poland. Taxonomy methods including factor analysis and clustering methods based on k-means and SOM Kohonen were used for selecting significant information and grouping of the local units according to the situation of the MSMEs. There are eight factors revealed in principal component analysis and five clusters of local units distinguished using these factors. These include two clusters with a high share of rural local units and two clusters with a high share of rural-urban and urban local units. Additionally, there was an outstanding cluster with only two dominant urban local units. Factors show differences between clusters in the situation of MSMEs sector and infrastructure. Different spatial conditions in different regions influence the situation of MSMEs.

Abstract Background In clinical practice, quality of life measures can be used alongside some types of assessment to give valuable information that can identify areas that influence an individual and help the clinician make the best healthcare choices. This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the 12-item short-form health survey (SF-12) in a sample of Lebanese adults. Methods This cross-sectional study performed between July and November 2019 recruited 269 participants. Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess the reliability of the SF-12 questionnaire, and a factor analysis using the principal component analysis was performed to confirm its construct validity. Results The mean score for the “physical component summary (PCS-12)” was 50.27 ± 8.94 (95 % CI: 49.18–51.36) and for the “Mental component summary (MCS-12)” was 44.95 ± 12.17 (95 % CI: 43.47–46.43). A satisfactory Cronbach’s alpha was found for the two components: MCS (α = 0.707) and PCS (α = 0.743). The principal component analysis converged over a two-factor solution (physical and mental), explaining a total variance of 55.75 %. Correlations between the SF-12 scales and single items were significant, showing a good construct validity. The “physical functioning”, “role physical”, “bodily pain”, and “general health” subscales were highly associated with “PCS-12”, while the “vitality”, “social functioning”, “role emotional”, and “mental health” subscales were more associated with MCS-12. Conclusions The Arabic version of the SF-12 is a reliable, easy-to-use, and valid tool to measure health-related quality of life in the general population. Future studies using a larger sample size and focusing on questionnaire psychometric properties are necessary to confirm our findings.
