“…(Apulu and Latham, 2011). The advancement of IT in the form of ERP system helps to improve operational performance of the SMEs in terms of cost reduction, better utilization of resources and enhanced business performance (Bharathi and Rakesh, 2012). IT helps the firms to perform better in operational performances in terms of customer responsiveness and cost efficiency.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the success factors for supply chain in Indian small- and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) and establish a causal relationship among them. In the present scenario, the SMEs are under huge pressure to achieve the supply chain competitive advantage and to improve operation and logistic effectiveness and, at the same time, remain tractable to the demand uncertainty and volatility in the market. To enhance the performance of supply chain in SMEs, the managers need to identify the internal as well as the external factors that affect the supply chain performance of SMEs in India. They need to understand the causal relationship of these factors. Design/methodology/approach – There may be a number of factors that are critical for achieving acceptable supply chain performance, and these factors have been identified by principal component analysis (PCA). In all, 29 factors have been identified by using PCA and the dominating 29 factors are categorized into 6 constructs, and finally, the structural equation modelling (SEM) methodology using the AMOS 4.0 program has been adopted as the primary methodology for this paper to assess the causal relationship among six constructs. Findings – In this paper, the authors analyzed the structural relations among information technology (IT), logistic effectiveness, operational effectiveness, customer relationship, supplier relationship and SCM competitive advantage. Results indicate that IT holds the key to achieve the SCM competitive advantage in SCM practices of SMEs in India. Research limitations/implications – The proposed models for enabling factors are tested in firms with a limited numbers of factors in highly competitive environment. More factors may be incorporated, which will help for a clear understanding and establishing the causal relationship among the various enabling factors. Practical implications – Although managers of Indian SMEs are aware of various enabling factors, a systematic approach is required for identifying enabling factors, and as these factors may have complex interrelation between them for analyzing supply chain performance in SMEs, it is essential that such an approach is in place. The paper presented here will help the SMEs managers in identifying the areas in which they need to focus their attention to improve SCM practices. A structural equation modelling is developed to show the complex relationship between the factors that affect the performance. In addition to that, the proposed structural equation model acts as a good guideline to improve the performance of the supply chain in India. Originality/value – The paper provides a structural equation model to develop a map of the causal relationships and magnitude among identified enabling factors.

“…Besides, neferine shows anticancer activity by activating several pathways like cell arrest, autophagy, and apoptosis induction. It has numerous therapeutic applications such as anticancerous, anti-inflammatory, and antianxiety as compared to anticancer drugs available like taxol, cisplatin, and doxorubicin [46]. Previous molecular docking analysis on neferine showed that it effectively binds to the drug-binding pockets (Mpro, PLpro, RdRP), which further justified its potential for cancer therapy [47].…”

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, has been a global concern. While there have been some vaccines and drugs, the rapid emergence of variants due to mutations has threatened public health. As the de novo drug development process is expensive and time-consuming, repurposing existing antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2 is an alternative and promising approach to mitigate the current situation. Several studies have indicated that some natural products exhibit inhibitory activities against SARS-CoV-2. This study is aimed at analyzing the potential of natural alkaloids, using various computational tools, as drug candidates against SARS-CoV-2. The molecular docking analysis predicted that naturally occurring alkaloids can bind with RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase (RdRP). The QSAR analysis was conducted by using the way2drug/PASS online web resource, and the pharmacokinetics and toxicity properties of these alkaloids were predicted using pkCSM, SwissADME, and ProTox-II webserver. Among the different alkaloids studied, neferine and berbamine were repurposed as potential drug candidates based on their binding affinity and interactions with RdRP. Further, molecular dynamics simulation of 90 ns revealed the conformational stability of the neferine-RdRP complex.

“…Aside from these two studies ( [14] and [15]), it is worth noting that ERP investment has a very favorable impact on the organizations' process performance. According to [16], ERP adoption have a vital effect on SMEs performance. For the purpose of investigating ERP's mediating role in the relationship between ME performance and eight different factors, the authors devised a framework that took into account organizational culture, communication processes, organizational structure, technological advancements, IT readiness, government policies, and information accessibility.…”

Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) is a planning application developed essential for the management manufacturing processes on a computer. This paper provides an analysis of the impacts of ERP adoption in SMEs. According to this study, the incorporation of characteristics-related aspects would help to better explain ERP adoption, according to the same line of thinking. The subsections in this paper present a discussion of the factors and components as well as their postulated correlation with ERP adoption. The adoption of ERP in SMEs is critically evaluating using a model, which integrates the TOE (Technology-Organization-Environment) framework and they theory of organization information. The literature part of this paper provides a basis of understand of the determinants of ERP adoption within these enterprises to enhance business performance. From this research, it may be concluded that it is important for businesses to adopt and utilize the ERP system properly in order to improve their performances.
