Abstract:
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial hand soaps provide a greater bacterial reduction than nonantimicrobial soaps. However, the link between greater bacterial reduction and a reduction of disease has not been definitively demonstrated. Confounding factors, such as compliance, soap volume, and wash time, may all influence the outcomes of studies. The aim of this work was to examine the effects of wash time and soap volume on the relative activities and the subsequent transfer of bacteria to inanimate objects for antimicrobial and nonantimicrobial soaps. Increasing the wash time from 15 to 30 seconds increased reduction of Shigella flexneri from 2.90 to 3.33 log10 counts (P = 0.086) for the antimicrobial soap, while nonantimicrobial soap achieved reductions of 1.72 and 1.67 log10 counts (P > 0.6). Increasing soap volume increased bacterial reductions for both the antimicrobial and the nonantimicrobial soaps. When the soap volume was normalized based on weight (∼3 g), nonantimicrobial soap reduced Serratia marcescens by 1.08 log10 counts, compared to the 3.83-log10 reduction caused by the antimicrobial soap (P < 0.001). The transfer of Escherichia coli to plastic balls following a 15-second hand wash with antimicrobial soap resulted in a bacterial recovery of 2.49 log10 counts, compared to the 4.22-log10 (P < 0.001) bacterial recovery on balls handled by hands washed with nonantimicrobial soap. This indicates that nonantimicrobial soap was less active and that the effectiveness of antimicrobial soaps can be improved with longer wash time and greater soap volume. The transfer of bacteria to objects was significantly reduced due to greater reduction in bacteria following the use of antimicrobial soap.

Abstract:
Objective.To evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of and risk of organisms developing resistance to 2 novel hand soaps: (1) a soap containing triclosan, polyhexamethylene biguanide, and benzethonium chloride added to a soap base (TPB soap); and (2) a soap containing farnesol, polyhexamethylene biguanide, and benzethonium chloride added to a soap base (FPB soap). Tests also included soaps containing only triclosan.Design.The risk of emergence of resistant bacterial mutants was investigated by determining the susceptibility changes after repeated exposure of bacteria to the drugs and soaps in vitro. The effectiveness of the soaps was evaluated using an in vitro tube dilution method, a volunteer method (the ASTM standard), and 2 pig skin methods.Results.The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration of triclosan against Staphylococcus, aureus increased 8- to 62.5-fold, whereas those of TPB and FPB (both alone and in soap) were unchanged. In vitro, TPB and FPB soaps produced higher log10 reductions in colony-forming units of all tested organisms (4.95-8.58) than did soaps containing triclosan alone (0.29-4.86). In the test using the pig skin and volunteer methods, TPB soap produced a higher log10 reduction in colony-forming units (3.1-3.3) than did the soap containing triclosan alone (2.6-2.8).Conclusion.The results indicate that TPB and FPB soaps may provide superior rapid and broad-spectrum efficacy with a lower risk of organisms developing resistance than do soaps containing triclosan alone. Pig skin methods may be used to predict the efficacy of antibacterial soaps in the rapid disinfection of contaminated hands. Hand washing with TPB and FPB soaps by healthcare workers and the general population may reduce the transmission of pathogens, with a lower risk of promoting the emergence of resistant organisms.

Abstract:
<strong>Abstract</strong> One of the basic ingredients of modern soap making is synthetic alkali such as caustic soda or lye (NaOH). The utilization of plant-based alkalis to make soap has been compared to the use of synthetic caustic alkalis (sodium hydroxide). Synthetic alkalis cause significant adverse effects on the environment which may be drastically reduced by using plant-based alkalis. Nigeria is an agrarian economy ranked among the first five largest producers of both plantain (<em>Musa paradisiaca</em>) and oil palm (<em>Elaeis guineensis</em>) in the world, thus generating large amounts of wastes from both plants. Hence, to reduce these wastes and effluents from synthetic alkali, improve environmental aesthetics, and create a new economy, plant-based alkalis were produced from the ashes of unripe plantain peels (UPP) and oil palm bunches (OPB) and used for soap making and the as-prepared soap were compared to soap from synthetic caustic soda. Alkali and soap properties such as alkali strength, mineral contents, soap solubility, soap pH and conductivity, lathering, moisture contents, and bulk density of the soaps were compared. Results showed that UPP had higher ash content than the OPB, though both ashes contained high mineral contents especially for Na and K. The UPP had slightly higher soap pH and conductivity than the OPB. Soap from the synthetic caustic soda (SCS) lathered more than both the biomass-based soaps in both distilled and hard water, though the biomass-based soaps have better solubility compared to the SCS soap. The textures of the biomass-based soaps were slightly softer than the SCS soap, and the bulk density of the UPP was far higher than those of the OPB and the SCS. The pH values of both plant-based soaps were higher than the SCS pH as well as the usual pH values of soaps to be used for skin wash (pH 8 to 10) and thus should not be used as skin wash as it is likely to irritate the human skin. The soaps may be used for laundry, dish washing, and other cleaning purposes.

Abstract:
Comparative Analysis of Organic Soap Produced from Garlic Juice-Benni-Seed Stalk Ash Extract and Coconut Oil and some Selected Commercial Soaps. The method used involved Collection of Benni-seed stalk and preparation of Alkali, Collection and Extraction of Coconut Oil, Collection of Garlic Bulb and Preparation of the Garlic Juice- based Alkaline. The produced soap was characterized based on physical characteristics (Soap Types, Colour, Texture, Aroma and Cleaning efficiency), pH of the soap samples, Foaming Stability, water hardness Test and Wash Fastness Properties Test. The result of the study shows that variation occurred among soap types as a result of addition of colouring matter such as dyes and degree of unsaturation of fatty acids. The pH of all the soaps falls within the range pH of (7-8) improving soaps quality but to regulate the pH level which will not contribute to the harshness of hands and skin. In terms of foaming stability, result obtained from GBC Soap was the best due to its solubility in water. Analysis of Soap hardness in soft water and hard water shows that Bright Soap had the highest value (8.5) in soft water which made it the best among other soap products. Premier Soap had the best ability to maintain the quality of fabric material when washed in water.

Abstract:
The use of oil palm biomass in black soap production was carried out. The soap was prepared using different oils; Palm kernel oil (PKO), Tallow oil (TO), Palm oil (PO), Palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) and their blends (PKO:PFAD:TO:PO) at 0.5 ratio each. The physiochemical properties of the different oils and their blends were studied. The moisture content, bulk density, foaming stability, pH, solubility of metallic salts and surface tension of the different black soaps produced were analyzed. The results of the oils and their blends had free fatty acid values between (2.56 - 49.48) %, saponification values of (231.4 - 450.20) KOH/g and relative densities of (0.97-1.008) g/ml. The results indicated that the moisture content ranged from (6.0 -7.4) % for all soaps, with the lowest (6.0%) observed in PKO, the highest (7.4%) observed in soaps made with PO and PKO:PFAD:TO:PO blends. The bulk density of the soaps ranged from (0.55 - 0.94) g/cm3. The PKO: PFAD soap had the highest foam stability of 7.4cm and PKO soap (2.08cm) the lowest. The soap produced with various oils and their blends showed a neutral pH in the range of 7.25 -7.38. The metallic salts NaCl, KCl and HgCl2 were soluble in the soap solution with no precipitate formed while MnCl2, PbCl3, and CuCl2 salts precipitated out of the soap solution. The surface tension of water was lowered at different rates by the soaps. The black soap produced with the oils and their blends met the standard quality specification for commercial soaps within the geographical area of manufacture.

Abstract:
Natural soaps made from vegetable ingredients are increasingly popular nowadays, especially those known as natural soaps. The vegetable oil content of plants makes it called natural) and its advantage lies in its ability to moisturize the skin without leaving potentially harmful chemical residues. The research method used is a laboratory experimental method using descriptive analysis, so that it can provide information regarding the manufacture of solid soap. In this research on making solid soap, a pH test analysis or degree of acidity was carried out. pH is used to determine the alkaline and acidic levels of a solution. Acidity is the concentration of hydrogen ions in the water solvent. Soap that has a high pH occurs due to soap hydrolysis. A good soap pH value is soap that has a pH of around 7. Organoleptic testing on solid soap that has been made is carried out by observing the aroma, amount of foam and texture of the soap. This test aims to determine the quality of the soap that has been made. Making organic solid soap is expected to be able to produce products that are safe and of course comfortable for the skin without any side effects and are environmentally friendly. Soap that has a high pH occurs due to soap hydrolysis.

Abstract:
Background Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease which is spread through skin contact with water containing Schistosoma cercariae. Drug treatment has been the main control method, but it does not prevent reinfection. The use of soap can be a complementary measure to reduce transmission. Therefore, this study investigates the quantitative effect of different soaps on the mortality of Schistosoma mansoni cercariae. Methodology Four soaps including two powder soaps (Kleesoft and Omo) and two bar soaps (B29 and Rungu) which are used in a schistosomiasis-endemic Tanzanian village were studied. S. mansoni cercariae were exposed to powder soaps of 0 (control), 10, 50, 75, 100 and 1000 mg/L and to bar soaps of 0 (control), 100, 500 and 1000 mg/L. The highest concentration of 1000 mg/L was selected based on the laboratory-estimated average soap concentration during handwashing. Cercariae were observed under a microscope after 0, 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes of exposure to determine their survival. Conclusions All four soaps can kill S. mansoni cercariae and this lethal effect was related to soap concentration and exposure time. At the highest concentration of 1000 mg/L, all cercariae were dead at 5 minutes post-exposure with two powder soaps and Rungu, while 100% cercarial death was achieved between 5 minutes to 15 minutes for B29. Almost all cercariae survived after being exposed to 10 mg/L powder soaps and 100 mg/L bar soaps for 60 minutes. Powder soaps were more lethal than bar soaps. Considering the widely varying concentrations of soap during real-world hygiene activities and the necessity for a very high soap concentration to eliminate all cercariae in a short 5-minute exposure, providing the efficacy of soap in preventing schistosomiasis becomes challenging. Future studies should investigate whether soap can influence alternative mechanisms such as creating a barrier to skin, thereby providing protection.

Abstract:
Irvingia gabonensis seed oil was extracted, characterized, and used in the production of metallic soaps of calcium, magnesium, and aluminium for application as hardeners for candle wax. The percentage free fatty acid (as oleic acid) is 2.76, the acid value is 5.50, unsaponifiable matter is 0.12 and the viscosity is 205.70×102 Kgm-1S-1. The seed oil contains eight fatty acids; the most abundant being myristic acid with 54.39% followed by lauric acid with 36.83%. The percentage saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are 93.19%, 6.27% and 0.54%, respectively. The free fatty acid content of the soaps is in the order aluminium soap &gt; magnesium soap &gt; calcium soap. The metallic content of the soaps revealed that aluminium soap has the highest metallic content of 8.10% while that of calcium and magnesium soaps have 0.03% and 0.02% metallic contents, respectively. The melting points of the soaps prepared also followed a similar pattern. The aluminium soap exhibited mild acidic nature while calcium and magnesium soaps were basic. Although the lumens of the metallic soap candles were similar to that of local commercial candles which served as control, the candles had higher melting points and reduced burning rate. It is concluded from these that the metallic soaps make the candles harder and, longer lasting during burning and of greater value to the common user. Production of candles with metallic soaps as additives is highly advocated.

Abstract:
The project had two intended goals. One was to create a prototype for the proxy component of the Secure Webservice Platform system that can function on the GNU/Linux operating system. The other goal was to evaluate a number of different SOAP security methods in order to determine if any could function as a alternative to the Specifikation för Säker Elektronisk Kommunikation (SSEK) standard. In order to achieve the second goal, an evaluation was performed on the SOAP security methods Transport Layer Security, XML Signature, XML Encryption, Web Service Security, and Web Service Secure Conversation using a set of predefined criteria. In order to be able to evaluate if any of the methods could function as an alternative to SSEK, an evaluation of SSEK using the predefined criteria was also performed. In order to achieve the first goal, a prototype was constructed and SSEK security was implemented using a combination of node.js, libxmljs and xmlsec. The conclusions drawn from the results obtained is that none of the evaluated methods could work as an alternative to SSEK security, although some could come close when combined with others. It was also concluded that while node.js could be used to construct a prototype, due to the limited amount of support for SOAP web service standards provided by node.js as well as the amount of adjustments that needed to be done on libxmljs in order to implement the security, careful consideration should be taken before selecting node.js as a platform for similar projects.

Abstract:
This thesis uses the concept of pleasure as it has been applied to cultural artefacts in order to give a description of various characteristics of the soap opera genre. The concept of pleasure is applied to soap opera narrative, characters, visual style and viewing attitudes. Three soap operas, The Young and the Restless, General Hospital, and Another World, are described in detail according to these various types of pleasures. The Young and the Restless is a soap that relies largely on visual pleasures and melodrama. General Hospital's strongest pleasures are related to its character development and use of humour. Another World, the most traditional of the three soaps, is best at stimulating the pleasures associated with talk. Through analysis of viewer commentary supplied by letters sent to Soap Opera Weekly and Soap Opera Update and Nielsen ratings, it can be concluded that the pleasures that most soap opera viewers seem to value the most are related to visual style, romance and a delicate balance between realistic characters and fantasy in narrative.

Abstract:
Les mousses liquides soumises à du cisaillement présentent une très grande viscosité, mais l'origine locale de la dissipation se produisant pendant cette déformation est encore mal comprise. Dans le but d'apporter quelques éléments de réponses à cette importante question ouverte, notre travail décrit le comportement observé sur quelques films connectés lorsqu'une déformation leur est appliquée. Nous avons créé un montage permettant de fabriquer un pattern élémentaire de mousse, et de modifier la taille de chaque film en contrôlant la géométrie du cadre qui le supporte. Ce montage original, auquel s'ajoute une combinaison d'appareils optiques, nous permet de révéler les processus se produisant dans le film, notamment la compétition entre son allongement ou compression, et l'extraction d'un nouveau film depuis les ménisques raccordant les films. Nous montrons de plus que cette compétition dynamique dans un film donné est affectée par la déformation de ses premiers et seconds films voisins. La géométrie particulière du montage nous a également permis de découvrir et de décrire pour la première fois une instabilité gravitationnelle se produisant lorsqu'un film épais se situe au-dessus d'un film plus mince. Nous avons mesuré la longueur d'onde de l'instabilité et l'avons comparée à des prédictions théoriques en régime linéaire. Ces différents écoulements affectent la distribution d'épaisseur dans le film, et peuvent ainsi jouer un rôle important sur la viscosité ou sur la stabilité des mousses 3D. Finalement, le montage utilisé pourra s'avérer utile à l'avenir comme rhéomètre de films liquides<br>Liquid foams under shearing exhibit a large effective viscosity, and the understanding of the local origin of the dissipation occurring during deformation is unknown. In the aim to contribute to this important open problem, we tried to describe the behavior of a few connected films under deformation. We created a setup allowing to make an elementary foam sample and to modify each film size by controlling the shape of the deformable frame supporting the films. This original setup together with a combination of optical devices allowed us to reveal processes happening in the film, and especially the competition between film stretch or compression, and extraction of a new film from the menisci connecting the films. Importantly, we show that this dynamical competition in a given film is affected by the deformation of its first and even second neighbors. The unique geometry of the setup gave us the opportunity to discover and describe for the first time a gravitational instability which takes place when a thicker film is on top of a thinner one. We measured the wavelength and compared it to theoretical predictions in the linear regime. These different flows affect the thickness distribution, and may thus play an important role in the viscosity or in the stability of 3D foams. As a perspective, the designed setup could prove to be useful as a liquid film rheometer

Soaps operas, or daytime serials, have long been a staple of American culture. In April 2011, ABC-Disney announced the cancellation of All My Children and One Life to Live. Cancellations propelled the fans of these programs to launch efforts to save not only the shows, but the genre. Through the use of social media, websites, and traditional off-line activities that included calling and letter-writing, fans strived to make their voices heard. The study examines the creation of an online community and discourse through a textual-analysis case study of blogs on two fan activist websites. Dahlberg?s criteria for presence in an online public space and Habermas? public sphere allows for the presentation of ideas within a group to encourage a sense of democracy in a grassroots effort to be heard against corporate interests. The case study will examine a fan website, Sudz.Tv, as a group organized in a virtual public space.

Abstract:
It is desirable that SOAP performs efficiently in environments where there are a large number of transactions. However, SOAP is based on XML and therefore inherits XML's disadvantage of having voluminous messages. Firstly, the performance of different SOAP bindings is investigated. A benchmark of different SOAP bindings in wireless environments demonstrates the unsuitability of HTTP and TCP bindings in limited bandwidth environments. UDP is recommended as an alternative transport protocol for SOAP. Secondly, the thesis examines the use of multicast in reducing the traffic caused by SOAP messages in low bandwidth environments to deal with challenges described. A novel SOAP-level multicast protocol based on the similarity of SOAP messages, called SMP (Similarity-based SOAP Multicast Protocol), is proposed. In particular, issues of traffic, network optimization, response time and scalability are investigated. Lastly, two extensions of SMP are proposed to further improve the performance of SMP. SMP's extensions are two algorithms, greedy and incremental tc-SMP, for traffic-constrained similarity-based SOAP multicast. Tc-SMP optimizes network traffic by building its own spanning trees instead of using the one built by traditional methods, such as Dijkstra's algorithm. A new client is added to a tc-SMP tree through an existing tc-SMP node that causes minimal additional traffic for that connection. Detailed analytical models and experimental evaluations of the proposed methods demonstrate that combining SOAP messages of similar content and multicasting them as aggregated messages can significantly lower total network traffic. These improvements are advantageous for Web service applications that involve a high number of simultaneous similar transactions such as stock quotes, weather and sport event reports.

Depuis le travail de Plateau les mousses de savons demeurent toujours l'objet d'études scientifiques. Pour des mousses bidimensionnelles sèches à l'équilibre nous montrons une équivalence étoile-triangle. Cette équivalence affirme que chaque bulle ayant trois bulles voisines peut être considérée comme une décoration des prolongements des côtés externes qui la rejoignent. Cette propriété, déjà connue dans une des ses applications, nous la démontrons en utilisant des méthodes de dualisation, de géométrie projective et l'invariance des mousses 2D par homographies. Plus en général, nous prouvons l'invariance par transformations conformes des mousses bidimensionnelles. L'équivalence étoile-triangle est aussi étendue aux mousses tridimensionnelles sphériques. En considérant des mousses en incidence normale sur une paroi, nous avons montré comment les lois d'équilibre en 3D impliquent celles en 2D sur la surface de contact. Ces lois nous permettent d'étudier théoriquement les récentes expériences où une mousse monodisperse est mise entre deux plaques de verre courbes non parallèles. Dans la limite de petit interstice, nous relions le profil à l'application conforme observée expérimentalement. La contribution de la courbure des films dans la direction orthogonale aux plaques est décisive pour corriger des prédictions erronées de la géométrie 2D<br>The main subject is equilibrium properties of 2D and 3D dry soap-like foams. For 2D foams at equilibrium, a star-triangle equivalence is proved using geometrical methods and invariance by inversion transformations. This equivalence states that triangular bubbles can be freely exchanged with threefold stars without perturbing the overall equilibrium; a star is a set of three edges ending at a central vertex. The main implication of the star-triangle equivalence is that the disappearance of a three-sided bubble during coarsening is a continuous topological process [1]. Using Moukarzel's duality, the star-triangle equivalence is extended to general 2D foams where the films have different line tensions. Then, as a corollary, the equivalence implies the so called vertex ``decoration'' theorem for foams with a little liquid [1]. The star-triangle equivalence is also proved for 3D foams provided the films are spherical-caps. Considering an equilibrated foam in contact with a solid, curved and smooth, surface and considering the trace of the films on the surface as a non-conventional 2D foam, the equilibrium equations are established for this 2D foam, generalising the standard case of flat Hele-Shaw cells [2]. The invariance of the vertex equilibrium conditions by conformal transformations is proved. As an application, the configurations of foams in thin interstices between two non parallel plates is analysed in details; we give arguments explaining the resemblance of these patterns with images of Laplace's law lead to an approximate equation relating the plate profile to the conformal map. Solutions are given for the logarithm and power laws in the case of constant pressure. The predictions are compared to available experimental data [3] and to the constant volumes case. [1] M.

Abstract:
The goal of the research was to identify the characteristics of soap according to the criterion of their importance for the consumer, that is, the customer, and to examine the interdependence of quality, price and consumer habits, that is, consumption. The first part of this research included the procurement and laboratory analysis of the quality of commercial soaps for washing hands on the domestic market. The second part of the research was a survey of the population to collect data based on which consumer habits and implicit values that consumers attach to toilet soaps were assessed. Also, the survey included key indicators of the consumer's living standard as an influencing factor in the consumer's decision when choosing any type of product and/or service. The research results show that consumers use liquid soap more often, and they make purchases mainly in consumer goods stores. Factors that show the greatest influence on the customer's decision when choosing soap are the ratio of quantity and price, price and the smell of the product. For the majority of consumers, the fact that the soap is made on a natural basis is of great importance, and about 70% of respondents are ready to spend more money on soap to contribute to the preservation of the environment. The obtained results can serve as a basis for developing a strategy for increasing the participation of this type of product in the market and consequently improving the quality of the manufacturer's business.

Abstract:
As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, hand soap demand is increasing compared to previous times. People are expected to wash their hands at offices, shopping centers, hospitals, and other public areas to prevent COVID-19 virus transmission. As the demand grows, there are more opportunities for people in local communities to produce hand soaps contributing to the high-quality hand soap needs fulfillment. The production method is effective, economically beneficial, and does not irritate the skin. Thus, hand soap production training (both online and offline), branding, and marketing were provided to achieve this objective. Several parties participated in the online activity, such as the Department of Chemistry's Chemical Physics Laboratory Employees, the Maxi Consulting Team, and the Head of HIPPI DIY--the event was also published in Majalah Kagama. The offline training was conducted in Ganjuran, Sleman, and Kasihan Bantul, as the midwives and women's groups participated. The branding and marketing training program had also been conducted four times (once online and thrice offline), along with monitoring activities to track marketing progress.

Abstract:
The authors have reported on results from a sliding test, which was conducted using a ball-on-disk type point-contact sliding test apparatus under gradually increased loading. Under slow sliding conditions where formation of an oil film is not expected, friction-resistant properties of grease are better than those of base oil. This result indicates that the soap fibers in grease work to protect the rubbing surface. Grease with long soap fibers shows better frictional resistance properties and offers greater protection against friction at the rubbing surface than grease with short soap fibers. In this paper, we examined factors that influence different frictional resistance properties according to soap fiber structures in the grease. Evaluation results of the friction-resistant properties of soap fibers alone, and the evaluation results of conditions of entraining grease into the rubbing surface area, show that friction-resistant properties vary according to the soap fiber structure in grease as a result of the conditions of introducing grease into the rubbing surface area.

Full text
Abstract:
How does exposure to soap operas with LGBTIQ characters affect attitudes toward the LGBTIQ community? To answer this question, we construct a novel database of 175 telenovelas (soap operas) with LGBTIQ characters airing in 14 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2002 and 2019. Exploiting variation in the introduction of new soap operas with LGBTIQ characters within country and survey-waves, we find that individuals exposed to more soap operas with LGBTIQ characters are less tolerant toward the LGBTIQ community. This short-term backlash is driven by exposure to telenovelas with homosexual characters and shows with comedic storylines. The effect is stronger among traditionally more conservative individuals (e.g., older or frequently attending religious services).

Full text
Abstract:
This paper focuses on fertility choices in Brazil, a country where soap operas (novelas) portray families that are much smaller than in reality, to study the effects of television on individual behavior. Using Census data for the period 1970-1991, the paper finds that women living in areas covered by the Globo signal have significantly lower fertility. The effect is strongest for women of lower socioeconomic status and for women in the central and late phases of their fertility cycle. Finally, the paper provides evidence that novelas, rather than television in general, affected individual choices.

Nakasone, Eduardo. Soap Operas for Female Micro Entrepreneur Training. Inter-American Development Bank, December 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0011672.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the impact of the Strengthening Women Entrepreneurship in Peru (SWEP) program. SWEP trained female micro entrepreneurs in business management practices (such as accounting and marketing). The training, which was provided in 4- to 5-hour sessions, used soap operas and practical exercises specifically designed for the program. A field experiment was conducted among a group of micro entrepreneurs based in two Peruvian cities (Lima and Piura) to investigate whether SWEP had a positive impact on its beneficiaries. The results show that the program positively affected the adoption of business practices taught by the program. In particular, those who received the training were 4 to 6 percentage points more likely to assign themselves a fixed salary (rather than taking cash from their businesses based on personal needs) and 6 to 11 percentage points more likely to keep better records of potential business contacts. Some positive impacts were found on the adoption of bookkeeping practices (4 to 6 percentage points), although this result is not significant across all of the specifications. Although these changes in adoption rates were large compared with their baseline levels, they were rather small in absolute terms. Therefore, the study did not find any impact on average business performance, household expenditures, or women's empowerment in the household. Qualitative information suggests that micro entrepreneurs were satisfied with the training, but considered that many of the practices taught by the program were difficult to follow because of time constraints.
