In an effort to increase voluntary compliance with tax obligations and encourage the contribution of revenues from the UMKM sector, the Government has issued Government Regulation No. 46 2013. The new Tax Regulation has the advantage of rates that are used less than the previous fare, ie 1% of gross turnover.Regulation No. 46 2013 taxpayer applies for personal and / or agency that has a certain gross income, ie income less than 4.8 M. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of adoption of Government Regulation No. 46 2013 of Paying Income Tax by Taxpayers at KPP Pratama Manado. The analytical method used is using two different test samples / dependent groups (paired) or Paired Sample T Test. Paired Sample t test course used when the two groups are interconnected. Two paired sample means a sample with the same subject but have two different treatments or measurements of, for example, before and after. Results of this study indicate that there is a difference between before and after the enactment of Government Regulation No. 46 Year 2013, but the difference that causes a decrease in the amount of tax paid by individual taxpayers who use the recording but for individual taxpayers who use the books there is no significant difference. As for corporate taxpayers that difference causes an increase on the amount of income tax payments by using final tax. Thus the application of Regulation No. 46 Year 2013 needs to be socialized again to taxpayers who are not registered in the KPP Pratama Manado in order to increase the amount of income tax payments.

A survey research was conducted to assess the performance of Praganna Irrigation Project with respect to farm income and employment in Dang district of Nepal. Simple random sampling was used to select 60 beneficiaries and 30 non-beneficiaries as sampling units to comprise a sample size of 90. Representatives of WUGs and officials of PIP were interviewed through checklists. Altogether there were 75 WUGs, which are responsible for distribution of irrigation water equitably and collection of irrigation charges effectively. A comparative study was made between the beneficiaries and nonbeneficiaries under PIP. The total farm assets of beneficiaries were estimated at NRs. 1,150,975 and differed significantly with the non-beneficiaries with total farm assets of NRs. 875,185. A significant difference was observed between on farm income of beneficiaries (NRs.183,260) and non– beneficiaries (NRs. 31,453). The net farm income of the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries were estimated at NRs. 79,993 and NRs. 13,077 respectively and the difference were significant among the categories of respondents. The total farm income was significantly affected by landholding, total variable cost, cropping intensity, and employment in case of beneficiaries whereas only employment significantly affected total farm income in case of non-beneficiaries. Gini coefficients for gross household and gross farm income were calculated at 0.37 and 0.44 respectively for beneficiaries and 0.44 and 0.27 respectively for non-beneficiaries. So, there existed inequality in distribution of gross household and gross farm incomes within both categories. The study also indicated the huge potentiality of PIP for increasing farm income in the command area of PIP.

Aim: This study explores the changes in regular walking activities during the phases of the pandemic. Background: With the spread of COVID-19 transmission, people are refraining from going out, reducing their physical activity. In South Korea, COVID-19 broke out in the 4th week of 2020 and experienced the first cycle phases of the pandemic, such as outbreak, widespread, and decline. In response to the pandemic, the government encouraged voluntary participation in social distancing campaigns, and people reduced their outside activities. Methods: This article examines the decrease and increase of the Prevalence of Regular Walking (≥30 min of moderate walking a day, on ≥5 days a week) by the COVID-19 phases. This study is based on weekly walking data for 15 weeks in 2020, via the smartphone healthcare app, which is managed by 25 public health offices of the Seoul government. Results: According to the findings, the level of prevalence of regular walking (PRW) has a significant difference before and after the outbreak, and every interval of the four-stage COVID-19 phases, that is, pre-pandemic, initiation, acceleration, and deceleration. The level of PRW sharply decreased during initiation and acceleration intervals. In the deceleration interval of COVID-19, the PRW kept increasing, but it has not yet reached the same level as the previous year when the COVID-19 did not exist. Conclusions: As a preliminary study, this study explains empirically how COVID-19 changed PRW in Seoul. It would be helpful to enhance our understanding of the changes in physical inactivity in the pandemic period.

Abstract Background Automatic antimicrobial stop orders (ASOs) are a stewardship initiative used to decrease days of therapy, prevent resistance, and reduce drug costs. Limited evidence outside of the perioperative setting exists on the effects of ASOs on broad spectrum antimicrobial use, discharge prescription duration, and effects of missed doses. This study aims to evaluate the impact of an ASO policy across a health system of adult academic and community hospitals for treatment of intra-abdominal (IAI) and urinary tract infections (UTI). ASO Outcome Definitions ASO Outcomes Methods This multicenter retrospective cohort study compared patients with IAI and UTI treated before and after implementation of an ASO. Patients over the age of 18 with a diagnosis of UTI or IAI and 48 hours of intravenous (IV) antimicrobial administration were included. Patients unable to achieve IAI source control within 48 hours or those with a concomitant infection were excluded. The primary outcome was the difference in sum length of antimicrobial therapy (LOT). Secondary endpoints include length and days of antimicrobial therapy (DOT) at multiple timepoints, all cause in hospital mortality and readmission, and adverse events such as rates of Clostridioides difficile infection. Outcomes were also evaluated by type of infection, hospital site, and presence of infectious diseases (ID) pharmacist on site. Results This study included 119 patients in the pre-ASO group and 121 patients in the post-ASO group. ASO shortened sum length of therapy (LOT) (12 days vs 11 days respectively; p=0.0364) and sum DOT (15 days vs 12 days respectively; p=0.022). This finding appears to be driven by a decrease in outpatient LOT (p=0.0017) and outpatient DOT (p=0.0034). Conversely, ASO extended empiric IV LOT (p=0.005). All other secondary outcomes were not significant. Ten patients missed doses of antimicrobials due to ASO. Subgroup analyses suggested that one hospital may have influenced outcomes and reduction in LOT was observed primarily in sites without an ID pharmacist on site (p=0.018). Conclusion While implementation of ASO decreases sum length of inpatient and outpatient therapy, it may not influence inpatient length of therapy alone. Moreover, ASOs prolong use of empiric intravenous therapy. Hospitals without an ID pharmacist may benefit most from ASO protocols. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures
