LEMBAR HASIL PENILAIAN SEJAWAT SEBIDANG ATAU PEER REVIEW

This study aimed to cover the various gaps from previous studies, which only focused on one factor. Furthermore, it measures the impact of three independent variables namely teacher values, classroom atmosphere, and student-teacher relationship towards student attitude. This is a quantitative study using hypothesis analysis with the respondents comprising of 72 teachers and 72 students from three junior high schools in Belitung regency. The data obtained was examined using the multivariate analysis. However, the result showed that amongst the three variables, only the classroom atmosphere provided a significant impact on student attitude. Based on the simultaneous testing of regression, the combination among X 1 and X 2 , X 1 and X 3 , as well as X 1 , X 2 , X 3 also provided an impact to their attitude. This finding needs further study capable of identifying factors which arises in the classroom atmosphere since it is the only factor that significantly impacts on student attitude. In addition, similar studies with a more significant number of respondents such as teachers or students also need to be conducted to determine why the outcome is different differs from previous studies.
Teaching and Learning Biology With iPads for High School Students With Disabilities

This descriptive case study examined the first year of iPad-supported teaching and learning in a high school modified biology class. Results revealed that the iPad practices replaced, amplified, and transformed pedagogy and learning, but they predominantly supported general learning or instructional practices with little science specificity. A strong technology vision and collaborative planning with teachers were strong supports for iPad integration. The teacher’s deep pedagogical and content knowledge and positive attitude toward using iPads were significant in persevering through barriers to integration, such as increased time to plan lessons, little professional learning, and technical difficulties. While iPads effectively supported learning in this special education classroom, the discussion suggests for more content-focused iPad integration and deeper technological content knowledge among teachers.

The effect of investor protection on dividend payout policy

We investigate the effect of investor protection on dividend payout policy in the context of the European Union. We specifically test if the outcome and substitute agency models of dividend payout from La Porta et al. are applicable to European markets in the timeframe from 2014 to 2016. We do so by utilizing Djankov’s shareholder protection indices in logit and ordinary least squares regression models to test if shareholder protection affects the likelihood and amount of dividend payments. We find a positive relationship between shareholder protection variables and dividend payments and payment size, which supports the outcome model of dividends. Furthermore, we found negative relationships between certain shareholder protection variables and dividends what suggests a substitution hypothesis, but we did not find enough proof to support that.
The Level of Productivity in Traded and Non-Traded Sectors for a Large Panel of Countries

This paper explains in detail the construction of series for productivity in the traded and nontraded sectors for a panel of 56 countries spanning 1989–2012. The level of productivity in each sector is defined as real value added per worker in constant 2005 Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) U.S. dollars. To construct these series, we collect industry-level data from several sources, and classify individual industries as traded/non-traded using their ratio of exports to value added. Finally, we aggregate the industry data up to a traded sector and a non-traded sector, accordingly. This new dataset has two main advantages relative to existing datasets: (i) it defines more finely the traded/non-traded sectors, by drawing on much more disaggregated industry source data; and (ii) it allows for meaningful comparisons of the level of productivity across countries/sectors because sectoral productivity is adjusted by its own price level.
Recalled parental rearing style, self-esteem, and psychopathological symptoms in the general population

The enduring impact of perceived parental behavior on self-esteem as well as anxiety and depression in adults is still unknown. In a large random route sample (age range 18–92), 4,747 subjects were asked to complete questionnaires about recalled parental rearing, selfesteem, anxiety, and depression. Structural equation modeling was used, and the data from the mother and the father version of the FEE (a questionnaire for recalled parental rearing) were analyzed separately. A model proposing that self-esteem mediates the relationship between parental behavior and psychopathological symptoms fits the data rather well (CFI = .95, RMSEA = .05, TLI = .94). Hence, the recalled authoritative parental style is positively associated with self-esteem which, in turn, predicted the degree of anxiety and depression. This model holds to the same extent for men and women of all ages (18–92), thus reflecting the important role parental styles play in the occurrence of psychopathological symptoms throughout life.
A Case Study of Acquisition of Avon Organics Limited by Arch Pharmalabs Limited

The corporate sector all over the world is restructuring its operations through various types of consolidation strategies in order to face the challenges posed by globalisation and liberalisation, which have led to the greater integration of national and international markets. In order to cope up with the constantly changing environment and increasing competition, constant growth of business organisations has become imperative. The Indian corporate sector has experienced a boom in mergers and acquisition led restructuring strategies especially after liberalisation. Banking and Finance, Drugs and Pharmaceutical, Textiles, Telecommunication, Cement, Computer Software, FMCG etc. are the major sectors in which it has occurred. The present study is an attempt to bring out the effectiveness of such strategies in realizing the desired objectives in the case of Drugs and Pharmaceutical sector, by analysing a case study of acquisition of Avon Organics Limited by Arch Pharmlabs Limited. Ratio analysis has been conducted to measure the overall performance of the acquiring firm. Besides, t-test has been used to check for any statistical significant difference between the means post the acquisition. Overall, it was concluded that the acquisition failed led to create a positive impact on the operating performance, financial performance and shareholders’ wealth of the acquiring entity.
Anteseden Return on Asset (ROA) pada Bank BUMN Indonesia

This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR),Operating Expenses and Cost Efficiency (BOPO) and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) to Return onassets (ROA). Return on assets (ROA) or profitability is one indicator that can be used to measurebank performance. The population used in this study is state-owned banks registered with BankIndonesia during the 2014-2018 period. In this study the sampling technique used total samplingtechniques using quarterly financial statements owned (1) PT. BNI (Persero), Tbk (2) Bank BRI(Persero), Tbk, (3) PT Bank Mandiri (Persero), Tbk; and (4) PT Bank BTN (Persero) so that with thesample, the number of samples in this study were (4 Quarter x 5 Years of Observation x 4 BUMNBanks = 80 panel data units). The results of multiple regression analysis provide evidence that CARhas a significant positive effect on ROA. Operational efficiency and cost efficiency (BOPO) has asignificant negative effect on return on assets (ROA). LDR has a significant negative effect on ROA.For the biggest contribution proven in CAR, that CAR has a dominant effect on ROA.
Credit Markets with Differences in Abilities; Education, Distribution, and Growth

This paper addresses the growth, welfare, and distributional effects of credit markets. We construct a general equilibrium model where human capital is the engine of growth and individuals differ in their education abilities. We argue that the existence of credit markets encourages specialization, by which individuals choose during their youth to work or to receive formal education. This specialization unambiguously increases growth and welfare. The model also shows that in economies with high (low) average level of education abilities, the opening of credit markets induces a more disperse (equal) income distribution.
The Transmission of Shocks in Endogenous Financial Networks: A Structural Approach

The paper uses bank- and instrument-level data on asset holdings and liabilities to identify and estimate a general equilibrium model of trade in financial instruments. Bilateral ties are formed as each bank selects the size and the diversification of its assets and liabilities. Shocks propagate due to the response, rather than the size, of bilateral ties to such shocks. This general equilibrium propagation of shocks reveals a financial network where the strength of a tie is determined by the sensitivity of an instrument's return to other instruments' returns. General equilibrium analysis predicts the propagation of real, financial and policy shocks. The network's shape adjusts endogenously in response to shocks, to either amplify or mitigate partial equilibrium shocks. The network exhibits key theoretical properties: (i) more connected networks lead to less amplification of partial equilibrium shocks, (ii)Â the influence of a bank's equity is independent of the size of its holdings; (ii) more risk-averse banks are more diversified, lowering their own volatility but increasing their influence on other banks. The general equilibrium based network model is structurally estimated on disaggregated data for the universe of French banks. We used the estimated network to assess the effects of ECB quantitative easing policy on asset prices, balance-sheets, individual bank distress risk, and networks systemicness.
Seeing (Movement) is Believing: The Effect of Motion on Perception of Automatic Systems Performance

In this article, we report on one lab study and seven follow-up studies on a crowdsourcing platform designed to investigate the potential of animation cues to influence users’ perception of two smart systems: a handwriting recognition and a part-of-speech tagging system. Results from the first three studies indicate that animation cues can influence a participant’s perception of both systems’ performance. The subsequent three studies, designed to try and identify an explanation for this effect, suggest that this effect is related to the participants’ mental model of the smart system. The last two studies were designed to characterize the effect more in detail, and they revealed that different amounts of animation do not seem to create substantial differences and that the effect persists even when the system’s performance decreases, but only when the difference in performance level between the systems being compared is small.

Influence of Internal and External Environmental Factors on Operational Excellence of Manufacturing Sectors in Malaysia

The manufacturing sector in Malaysia has been recognized as an important sector due to its significant contribution toward the nation’s economic growth. This sector is the most significant contributor to total exports of the country and the second largest contributor to the gross domestic product (GDP). However, the total shares of Malaysia’s manufacturing exports in the world market declined due to competitive and globalized market condition. Consequently, it is essential to investigate the factors that affect operational excellence to remain competitive and achieving excellence in the business. This study aims to examine the internal and external environmental factors that affect the operational excellence in the Malaysian SMEs manufacturing sector. The literature have demonstrated that an investigation on operational excellence lacks particularly in Malaysian SMEs sector. In addition, the impact of internal and external environmental factors on operational excellence has received little attention in the literature especially in the SMEs sector. Therefore, the conceptual model has been developed based on a comprehensive review of the previous study. This paper presents a conceptual framework that investigates the internal and external environmental factors that affect operational excellence as well as their relationship on operational excellence in the Malaysian SMEs manufacturing sector. The contribution of this paper is to identify the influence of internal and external environmental factors towards the operational excellence. Thus, this study proposed a conceptual framework for SMEs manufacturing sectors in Malaysia.
Connections and tensions among siblings in the presence of autism spectrum disorder : parental perceptions of the impact of the family system on sibling relationships

The connections and tensions between siblings may impact the development and well-being that children with ASD and their typically developing (TD) siblings experience. Parenting style and parental stress are two factors that impact a caregiver's ability to effectively foster positive relationships. Finally, the interplay between sibling relationships, caregiver characteristics, sibling involvement in intervention, and success in ASD intervention is of interest. Primary caregivers (N = 108) completed an online questionnaire and a hierarchical multiple regression was conducted. Results indicated: 1) Parenting stress explains 12% of the variance found in the warmth and closeness of sibling relationships; 2) Sibling involvement and success in ASD intervention cumulatively contributes to 13.5% of the variance found in the warmth and closeness of sibling relationships; and 3) warmth and closeness uniquely explains 7% of the variance of success in ASD intervention. Limitations, practical implications, and future research direction will be discussed.
Driver drowsiness detection using ANN image processing

The paper presents a study regarding the possibility to develop a drowsiness detection system for car drivers based on three types of methods: EEG and EOG signal processing and driver image analysis. In previous works the authors have described the researches on the first two methods. In this paper the authors have studied the possibility to detect the drowsy or alert state of the driver based on the images taken during driving and by analyzing the state of the driver’s eyes: opened, half-opened and closed. For this purpose two kinds of artificial neural networks were employed: a 1 hidden layer network and an autoencoder network.
Knowledge Management in the construction of Swedish healthcare facilities - Examining the Programme for Technical Standard

This study examines knowledge management as conducted in the construction of healthcare facilities in Sweden, and compare it among the Scandinavian countries. To perform knowledge management in healthcare construction in Sweden, there existed several healthcare bodies up to the late 1990s when the last of them was closed down, that then gave rise to PTS in Jönköping, first as a paper-based system that later transformed into a digital IT system. Sweden being organised in autonomous and decentralised regions, PTS acts as a tool to collect and share standardised knowledge and information on healthcare construction projects across the country, membership of which is voluntary. This is done through the IT system and social gatherings such as meetings, workshops and conferences. The study is conducted through the qualitative method based on the abductive approach, consisting of a literature review and interview study. A total of seven semi-structured interviews were conducted with professionals from across the Scandinavian region, consisting of public actors and a researcher based in the region. Findings from the study are firstly that different knowledge management systems are established in the different Scandinavian countries. Additionally, PTS has adopted a flexible approach where member regions decide on how and what to use from the system, which contradicts its goal of standardisation. Despite this, it has managed to significantly standardise, and improve the quality and clarity in healthcare construction projects across the country. Moreover, lack of direction, lack of resources and poor resource allocation have been revealed to be among the main challenges the system faces. Finally, there is great opportunity for the countries to further collaborate, learn and share knowledge among themselves, to further the advancement in healthcare construction.
Do Increasing Markups Matter? Lessons from Empirical Industrial Organization

This article considers the recent literature on firm markups in light of both new and classic work in the field of industrial organization. We detail the shortcomings of papers that rely on discredited approaches from the “structure-conduct-performance” literature. In contrast, papers based on production function estimation have made useful progress in measuring broad trends in markups. However, industries are so heterogeneous that careful industry-specific studies are also required, and sorely needed. Examples of such studies illustrate differing explanations for rising markups, including endogenous increases in fixed costs associated with lower marginal costs. In some industries there is evidence of price increases driven by mergers. To fully understand markups, we must eventually recover the key economic primitives of demand, marginal cost, and fixed and sunk costs. We end by discussing the various aspects of antitrust enforcement that may be of increasing importance regardless of the cause of increased markups.
Organisational Capabilities and Competitive Advantage: The Moderating Influence of Managerial Competencies

This study assessed the exclusive relationship of organisational capabilities, managerial competencies, and competitive advantage within the Malaysian context based on a sample of 330 SMEs in the food processing industry. This study employed a structural equation modelling using AMOS for the testing of the moderating role of managerial competencies in the relationship between organisational capabilities and competitive advantage. The obtained results of fitness indices demonstrated satisfactory goodness-of-fit. The results of hypotheses testing revealed that (1) the relationship between organisational capabilities and competitive advantage was statistically significant and positive (where organisational capabilities accounted for 93% of the total variance in competitive advantage) and (2) managerial competencies fully mediate the relationship between organisational capabilities and competitive advantage. Most importantly, this study provided empirical evidence that supported the theory of resource-based view, theory of dynamic capability view, and theory of knowledge-based view on the significance of organisational capabilities and managerial competencies for SMEs to gain competitive advantage, especially in marketing their products in hypermarkets and penetrating the global markets.
OAuch: Exploring Security Compliance in the OAuth 2.0 Ecosystem

The OAuth 2.0 protocol is a popular and widely adopted authorization protocol. It has been proven secure in a comprehensive formal security analysis, yet new vulnerabilities continue to appear in popular OAuth implementations. This paper sets out to improve the security of the OAuth landscape by measuring how well individual identity providers (IdPs) implement the security specifications defined in the OAuth standard, and by providing detailed and targeted feedback to the operators to improve the compliance of their service. We present a tool, called OAuch, that tests and analyzes IdPs according to the guidelines of the OAuth standards and security best practices. We evaluate 100 publicly deployed OAuth IdPs using OAuch and aggregate the results to create a unique overview of the current state of practice in the OAuth ecosystem. We determine that, on average, an OAuth IdP does not implement 34% of the security specifications present in the OAuth standards, including 20% of the required specifications. We then validate the IdPs against the OAuth threat model. The analysis shows that 97 IdPs leave one or more threats completely unmitigated (with an average of 4 unmitigated threats per IdP). No IdPs fully mitigate all threats. We further validate the results by picking four attack vectors and using the tool’s output to determine which IdPs to attack. The results were highly accurate, with a false positive rate of 1.45% and a false negative rate of 1.48% for the four attack vectors combined.
When Fund Management Skill is More Valuable?

Does fund management skill allow managers to identify mispriced securities more accurately and thereby make better portfolio choices resulting in superior fund performance when noise trading – a natural setting to detect skill – is more prevalent? We find skilled fund managers with superior past performance to generate persistent excess risk‐adjusted returns and experience significant capital inflows, especially in high sentiment times, high stock dispersion, and economic expansion states when price signals are noisier. This pattern persists after we control for lucky bias, using the ‘false discovery rate’ approach, which permits disentangling manager ‘skill’ from ‘luck. ’
