The Factors Influencing Quality Work Culture in Education in Indonesia: A Case Study at Graduate Program of Educational Management, Universitas Lambung Mangkurat

The objective of the study is to identify the factors influencing quality work culture in education in Indonesia. This study focuses on teachers who study in a graduate program of educational management. It was particularly because the teachers who are students in the graduate program will back to schools after graduating. Determining their quality is important so that they will be good agents for growing quality culture at schools, which will further impart their quality into the students to drive the organizations in the nation for the future. A case study approach was utilized to study deeply on the matter. Qualitative techniques such as observation, interview, and document study were utilized for collecting data from 30 master students that involved in this study. In the end, it was found that leadership, educational management, human resources management, information management, customer satisfaction focus, and partnership management are an important factor that influences the quality work culture. Keywords—quality; work; culture; schools
EFFECTS OF ORGANIC AMENDMENTS ON CD, ZN AND CU BIOAVAILABILITY IN SOIL WITH REPEATED PHYTOREMEDIATION BY SEDUM PLUMBIZINCICOLA

Organic materials with different functional groups can be used to enhance metal bioavailability. Traditional organic materials (rice straw and clover) and ethylenediamine disuccinic acid (EDDS) were applied to enhance metal uptake from polluted soil by Sedum plumbizincicola after repeated phytoextraction. Changes in pH, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and metal concentrations were determined in the soil solution after EDDS application. Amendment of the soil with ground rice straw or ground clove resulted in higher concentrations of Cd only (by factors of 1.92 and 1.71 respectively) in S. plumbizincicola compared to control soil. Treatment with 3 mmol kg−1 EDDS increased all the metals studied by factors of 60.4, 1.67, and 0.27 for Cu, Cd, and Zn, respectively. EDDS significantly increased soil solution DOC and pH and increased soil plant-available metals above the amounts that the plants could take up, resulting in high soil concentrations of soluble metals and high risk of ground water contamination. After repeated phytoremediation of metal contaminated soils the efficiency of metal removal declines as the concentrations of bioavailable metal fractions decline. Traditional organic materials can therefore be much more effective and environmentally friendly amendments than EDDS in enhancing phytoremediation efficiency of Cd contaminated soil.
Status in China and Abroad and Development Trend Analysis of City Rainfall Runoff Pollution Load

This article analyzes the migration action and regulation of bioretention system. Briefly describes the method of controlling water pollution load and its hydrodynamic principle. Keyword: rainfall runoff, pollution load, hydrodynamic, bioretention system
The Influence of Microfibrillated Cellulose, MFC, on Paper Strength and Surface Properties

This study demonstrates recent advances in microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) research. This novel material, which is mostly com- posed of nano-sized cellulose fibrils seems to have large potential within several applications. Three case studies are considered, i) MFC films that may be applied for packaging applications, ii) MFC applied in the paper bulk and iii) MFC applied as a coating layer on paper. It has been demonstrated that MFC forms films with high strength, high density and low permeability. The tensile strength of the TMP sheets assessed in this study have been increased by more than 20% by addition of 4% MFC to the furnish. Application of MFC as a coating layer on paper forms a dense continuous surface film. However, despite a considerable reduction of the surface roughness, the paper gloss was reduced. This contradictory phenomenon is most probably caused by the MFC layer covering the clay particles on the surface of the base paper.
Risk-Neutral Cumulants, Expected Risk Premia, and Future Stock Returns

This paper builds an empirical model to connect option-implied cumulants with expected risk premia through latent risk factors. Expected risk premia on individual stocks are estimated by applying a new partial least squares-based method on risk-neutral cumulants at different orders and various maturities. The filtered expected risk premia based on the second and third order risk-neutral cumulants exhibit a considerably large dispersion across stocks, which further generates a wide cross-sectional variation in future realized risk premia. I find a positive relationship between the ex-ante filtered expected risk premium and future realized risk premium during the period of 1996-2017. A strategy that goes long the decile portfolio with the largest filtered expected risk premium and short the decile portfolio with the smallest filtered expected risk premium yields a Fama-French-Carhart alpha of 1.06% per month (t-stat 3.75). The filtered expected risk premium of the above trading strategy is correlated (Corr: 51.5%) with the equal-weighted stock's expected excess return in Martin and Wagner (2018). Moreover, I show that the predictability of the filtered expected risk premium can be potentially explained by informed trading driven by short-selling constraints.
Empirical Study on the Determinants of Social Media Adoption By Turkish Small And Medium Enterprises

Social media has become a major issue for companies. Nonetheless, few studies specifically researched the determinants of social media adoption and the barriers against it, at a small and medium entreprises (SMEs) level aspect. This study addresses the gap by focusing in furthering the theory in social media adoption at SMEs level. Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are not well equipped to use Social Media (SM) and struggle to utilise its full potential in the context of adding value to the business. The main aim of this study is to investigate the adoption and use of social media by Turkish small and medium enterprises, on the basis of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Network Externality, and Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT) models by adding the related constructs. The research model is empirically assessed SMEs’ adoption behavior of the social media using a primary data set of 473 users of social media gathered from a web-based questionnaire survey. Partial Least Squares (PLS) method is a variance based Structural Equation Model (SEM) used for the analyse of the data in order to reveal the relationship of the attitudes of SMEs regarding social media and to evalaute the harmony of the model. The results demonstrate that the revised social media model proposed in this study supports all the hypotheses of social media usage behavior.
Dissecting Breast Cancer Complexity : Specific Biological Features and Vulnerabilities of Triple Positive Breast Cancer Tumors

Tumor heterogeneity and complexity are recognized as some of the major barriers of precision medicine. The paradigm of target therapies is to hit specific “Achilles’ heels” of tumors in order to achieve the maximum of therapeutic efficacy with the minimum of toxicity. This might not be realized until we will be able to recognize and specifically treat each relevant tumor subtype harboring its own biological features and vulnerabilities.
Employer branding in nonprofit organizations. An exploration of factors that are related to attractiveness, identification with the organization, and promotion: The case of emergency

This paper explores the application of the Employer Branding model in nonprofit organizations. We focus on attributes of the organization that may affect its attractiveness, identification with the organization, and promotion. We conducted a questionnaire-based survey on actual and potential aidworkers from Emergency, an Italian charity that offers free medical assistance to war victims. The questionnaire included measures of organizational identification, attractiveness, symbolic and instrumental attributes and intentions to promote the organization. Results showed that the attractiveness of the organization depended on symbolic rather than instrumental attributes. Unlike previous research on Employer Branding, however, instrumental attributes did not influence the attractiveness of the organization and, additionally, decreased promotion. These findings may contribute to extending the Employer Branding model by including a psychosocial perspective and also suggest important management implications for nonprofit organizations.
Family Trajectories and Wellbeing of Children Born to Lone Mothers in the United Kingdom

We investigate how lone mothers’ heterogeneity in partnership trajectories is associated with children’s wellbeing. We use data from the Millennium Cohort Study, which follows a large sample of children born in the UK in 2000-02. We divide children who were born to lone mothers into four groups based on their mothers’ partnership trajectories between birth and age seven, which cover more than 80% of these children’s family experiences. We then analyse how these trajectories are associated with markers of health, cognitive and socio-emotional outcomes measured at around age seven. We find that compared to the children that live continuously with lone mothers, children whose biological father stably joined the household have better cognitive and socioemotional outcomes. In contrast, children in trajectories characterised by living with a stepfather or who experienced biological father joining in the family followed by biological parents’ dissolution had outcomes similar to children living continuously with lone mothers. The results underscore the importance of treating children born to lone mothers as a heterogeneous category
Antiphospholipid Syndrome in Obstetrics and Gynecology

The lupus anticoagulant (LA) and anticardiolipin antibodies are antiphospholipid moieties that may be as sociated with clinically diverse events termed "antiphos pholipid syndromes. " The presence of these antibodies during pregnancy is associated with fetal wastage; it is thus imperative that the physician be familiar with this syndrome and its treatment modalities
Genetic diversity at four Nigerian sheep breeds assessed by variation of albumin and carbonic anhydrase in cellulose acetate electrophoretic systems

The aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence and distribution of variations in blood protein markers in sheep breeds in Nigeria and to evaluate the relationships that exist among them. A total of 100 sheep comprising of twenty-five each of Balami, Uda, Yankassa and West African Dwarf (WAD) breeds were sampled for biochemical studies. Blood was collected to determine variations at the Albumin and Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) structural protein loci using F S A B cellulose acetate electrophoresis. All tested loci were polymorphic yielding four allelic variants (CA , CA , Alb , and Alb ) at the two protein loci. Genetic variability in the studied population was accessed using heterozygosity (observed – Ho and expected – He), effective number of alleles (Ne), fixation index (F) and gene flow (Nm). Genotypic frequencies ranged from 0.01 to 0.62 for CA and 0.25 to 0.49 for Alb loci. Estimated heterozygosity values ranged from 0.32±0.28 at Balami sheep to 0.70±0.22 in WAD with a global average estimated at 0.43±0.09 for all the breeds studied. The gene flow values for each of the loci studied were 0.82 and 1.24 for Alb and CA, respectively, with an average value of 1.03. The results showed that Yankassa and Balami sheep populations are more genetically (Nei's genetic identify value – 0.99) alike compared to Yankassa and WAD (0.73). Based on the values of heterozygosity (mean He =0.70 and Ho =0.45) assessed by variation of albumin and carbonic anhydrase the most genetic diverse is WAD sheep breed among the studied populations.
Beyond RET: potential therapeutic approaches for advanced and metastatic medullary thyroid carcinoma

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare calcitonin‐producing neuroendocrine tumour that originates from the parafollicular C‐cells of the thyroid gland. The RET proto‐oncogene encodes the RET receptor tyrosine kinase, which has essential roles in cell survival, differentiation and proliferation. Activating mutations of RET are associated with the pathogenesis of MTC and have been demonstrated in nearly all hereditary and in 30–50% of sporadic MTC cases, making this receptor an excellent target for small‐molecule inhibitors for this tumour. Clinical trials of small organic inhibitors of tyrosine kinase receptors (TKIs) targeting the RET receptor have shown efficacy for treatment of metastatic MTC with 30–50% of patients responding to these agents. Despite the importance of the RET receptor in MTC, it is clear that other signal transduction pathways, tyrosine kinase receptors, and tumour suppressor genes are involved in MTC tumourigenesis and progression. A better understanding of molecular cross‐talk between these signal pathways and the RET receptor may lead to combinatorial therapy that will improve outcomes beyond what is currently possible with RET‐directed TKIs. Finally, there is evidence that immunological‐based therapy using dendritic cell vaccination strategies have been effective for reducing tumour mass in a small number of patients. The identification of additional MTC‐specific tumour antigens and a better understanding of specific epitopes in these tumour antigens may lead to improvement of response rates.
Selection of informative bands for classification of hyperspectral images based on entropy

The paper is focused on problems related to proper selection of relatively small number of bands from hyperspectral images ensuring sufficiently accurate classification of pixels into several defined categories. Two approaches to construction of the set of spectral bands are presented. To select the most informative bands, their entropy and mutual correlation characteristics were analyzed. It is recognized that elimination of noisy bands is crucial for entropy- based band selection and correlation of neighboring bands should be taken into account for creation of the informative set. Support Vector Machines (SVM) and k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) classifiers were used for testing the constructed sets of spectral bands. The best classification results were obtained by iterative splitting of the spectrum into groups of highly correlated bands and forming the set of selected bands by including the band with maximum entropy from each group.
Two challenges for creating democratically accountable local currencies to cope with unvoluntary degrowth : Lessons from Argentina

Local currencies issued by civil society are often advocated by the degrowth movement as innovations that facilitate voluntary degrowth, but also as tools for coping with chaotic instances of unvoluntary degrowth, such as the present crisis in southern Europe. This paper provides a concise history of Argentina’s barter networks, which attracted millions of participants during the economic crisis of the early 2000s, and recounts two explanations of how the barter currencies came to be largely privatized by a handful of individuals. This case is used to illustrate two challenges for the creation of democratically accountable local currencies under circumstances of widespread unvoluntary degrowth: the risk associated with the autonomist approach of not seeking state support, and the risk arising from the prioritization of deliberative democracy and community-building over economic effectiveness.
NUMERICAL MODELING OF LIQUEFACTION EFFECTS

Development and initial applications of a sand plasticity model for nonlinear seismic deformation analyses involving liquefaction are described. The model follows the basic framework of the stress-ratio controlled, critical state compatible, bounding surface plasticity model for sand presented by Dafalias and Manzari (2004). Modifications were implemented to improve its ability to approximate stress strain responses important to geotechnical earthquake engineering applications. Initial applications of the model have included one-dimensional site response analyses of down-hole arrays where liquefaction was triggered and two-dimensional analyses of dynamic centrifuge model tests involving liquefaction and lateral spreading. An overview of the sand model is presented, followed by example results from these initial validation studies.
OWN RI “ Kざ-ENTREPRENEURIAL BEHAVIOR WHEN FACED WITH RISK AND UNCERTAINTY : METHODOLOGICAL REFLECTIONS

The purpose of the paper is to review and suggest a categorization of methodologies used to trigger entrepreneurial behavior in a variety of settings involving risk and uncertainty. Even though the link between entrepreneurship and risk is undeniably tight, literature often suffers from low predictive power when explaining such link empirically. We argue that this might be due a lack of consensus over both the definition and operationalization of the constructs of risk and uncertainty in entrepreneurship, with particular reference to risk perception. Three types of methodological designs are identified and presented being money games, scenario-based questionnaires, and hybrids. By looking at their advantages and disadvantages, we aim at contributing to a better understanding of the most suitable game designs to capture risk perception, suggesting their use in specific settings and ultimately helping future research in entrepreneurship.
THE CATTELL-HORN-CARROLL

The Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory of cognitive abilities is the most comprehensive and empirically supported psychometric theory of the structure of cognitive abilities to date. It represents the integrated works of Raymond Cattell, John Horn, and John Carroll (Alfonso, Flanagan, & Radwan, 2005; Horn & Blankson, 2005; McGrew, 2005; Schneider & McGrew, 2012). Because it has an impressive body of empirical support in the research literature (e.g., developmental, neurocognitive, outcome-criterion) it is used extensively as the foundation for selecting, organizing, and interpreting tests of intelligence and cognitive abilities (e.g., Flanagan, Alfonso, & Ortiz, 2012; Flanagan, Ortiz, & Alfonso, 2007). Most recently, it has been used for classifying intelligence and achievement batteries and neuropsychological tests to: (a) facilitate interpretation of cognitive performance; and (b) provide a foundation for organizing assessments for individuals suspected of having a learning disability (Flanagan, Alfonso, Mascolo, & Sotelo-Dynega, 2012; Flanagan, Alfonso, Ortiz, & Dynda, 2010; Flanagan, Ortiz, & Alfonso, in press). Additionally, CHC theory is the foundation on which most new and recently revised intelligence batteries were based (see Flanagan & Harrison, 2012 for comprehensive coverage of these batteries). A brief overview of the evolution of CHC theory follows.
On the ” elastic stiffness ” in a high-cycle accumulation model-continued investigations

The high-cycle accumulation (HCA) model proposed by the authors can be used to predict permanent deformations or stress relaxation due to a large number (e.g. several millions) of load cycles with relative small strain amplitudes (< 10−3). The predicted stress relaxation depends on the isotropic ”elastic stiffness” E used in the HCA model. In order to calibrate the bulk modulus K, the rate of pore pressure accumulation obtained from an undrained cyclic test and the rate of volumetric strain accumulation measured in a drained cyclic test are compared. Poisson’s ratio ν can be determined from the shape of the stress relaxation path measured in an undrained test with anisotropic consolidation stresses and strain cycles. Unfortunately, the calibration of K shown for a medium coarse sand in the previous paper [20] was affected by membrane penetration effects. Consequently, all further studies have been performed on a fine sand for which membrane penetration is negligible. The present paper reports on the new results. The strong pressure-dependence of K and its independence of amplitude found in the previous study could be confirmed by the new tests. In addition, the new experimental results reveal a density-dependence of K, while the bulk modulus is rather independent of stress ratio. Furthermore, for the first time Poisson’s ratio ν used in the HCA model has been calibrated based on tests performed with different amplitudes, densities and initial stresses.
Intoxicated prejudice: The impact of alcohol consumption on implicitly and explicitly measured racial attitudes

Recent research has shown that alcohol consumption can exacerbate expressions of racial bias by increasing reliance on stereotypes. However, little work has investigated how alcohol affects intergroup evaluations. The current work sought to address the issue in the context of the correspondence between implicit and explicit measures of anti-Black attitudes. Participants were randomly assigned to consume an alcoholic (target BrAC of 0.08%), placebo, or control beverage prior to completing implicit and explicit measures of racial attitudes. Although beverage condition did not affect prejudice levels on either measure, it did change the correlation between them. Implicitly measured attitudes significantly predicted explicit reports of prejudice and discrimination only for participants who consumed alcohol. We discuss the implications of our findings for debates regarding dissociations between implicit and explicit measures and the cultural phenomenon of intoxicated individuals attributing prejudiced statements to alcohol consumption rather than personal attitudes.
Imagery ability of elite level athletes from individual vs. team and contact vs. no-contact sports

Background In the sport context, imagery has been described as the condition in which persons imagine themselves while executing skills to deal with the upcoming task or enhance performance. Systematic reviews have shown that mental imagery improves performance in motor tasks Methods The aim of the present study was to explore whether imagery vividness (i.e., the clarity or realism of the imagery experience) and controllability (i.e., the ease and accuracy with which an image can be manipulated mentally) differ by sport types (team vs. individual and contact vs. non-contact). Participants were athletes from team contact and non-contact sports (rugby and volleyball, respectively), and individual contact and non-contact sports (karate and tennis, respectively) between the ages of 20 and 33 years (M = 24.37, SD = 2.85). The participants completed the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire, the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire-2, and the Mental Image Transformation Tasks. Results A 2 ×2 × 2 (gender × 2 contact-no-contact × 2 sport type) between groups MANOVA showed differences in imagery ability by sport type. Practical indications deriving from the findings of this study can help coaches and athletes to develop mental preparation programs using sport-specific imagery.
