Analyzing Subscribers Intention On Nethost Services Using Unified Theory Of Acceptance And Use Of Technology 2 (a Study On: Telkom University Area)

Abstract The Internet is one of the Twentieth Century’s most important innovations. Amount of internet users then create business opportunities in internet service providers (ISP). There are so many ISP but there is still have a lack of promotion, the difficulty of paying and the exclusivity of the service providers make other service providers difficult to compete in the Indonesian market even more so with the emergence of newcomers from internet service providers who directly steal the student’s attention, it is Nethost. This study aims to examine the influence of analyse factors inside UTAUT 2 model to analysed variable Behavioral Intention and Use Behavior. The objective of this research is to analyse factors inside UTAUT 2 model that influence the subscriber on using ISP of Nethost service in Telkom University Area and to analysed age and gender affecting the influence inside UTAUT 2 model in the context of Nethost service in Telkom University Area, by using data from 360 respondents who lived in Telkom University Area and have been using ISP of Nethost by using nonprobability sampling. The result revealed that there are six factors in the UTAUT2 Model which significantly influence the behavioral intention of ISP of Nethost service adoption, namely Habit, Hedonic Motivation, Facilitating Condition, Performance Expectancy, and Social Influence. In terms of moderating factors, both Age and Gender are not moderating any influences of factors towards Behavioral Intention. The model can predict moderate the behavioral intention of subscribers towards ISP of Nethost services in Telkom University Area since the R² is 55.5%. Keywords: Nethost, Behavior Intention, Use Behavior, UTAUT 2

Pengaruh struktur modal terhadap kinerja keuangan perusahaan studi kasus pada perusahaan sektor pertambangan yang tercatat di bursa efek indonesia 2005-2009

The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of capital structure on financial performance of mining sector companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). This study employed the descriptive analysis and a regression analysis of panel data. This study covered annual data of 23 mining sector companies listed in the BEI in a 5-year time horizon (2005-2009). The descriptive analysis showed that most of companies applied a low-leverage policy in their capital structure. In average, the companies generate higher financial performance compared to other industries, in terms of profitability ratios and market based ratios. There are higher income tax rates for mining companies than the rates applied generally, so a few companies prefer debt capital than equity capital. This study also found that lack of support of domestic banks to the mining sector encourages some companies to obtain financing through international financial institutions, including Credit Suisse, Merrill Lynch, Standard Chartered Bank, and China Investment Corporation (CIC). The regression analysis of panel data showed that capital structure has a significant impact on the company's financial performance based on ROA, ROE, and PER, but have insignificant effect on the company's financial performance based on market-to-book value ratio. These results suggested that firm's management should increase their leverage so that financial performance can be improved. For investors, increased leverage of the company would give a positive signal that shows the company's bright prospects in the future. While for the government as regulator, it is important to encourage domestic banks especially the state-owned banks to increase support for the mining sector.
QUENCHED COLD ACCRETION OF A LARGE-SCALE METAL-POOR FILAMENT DUE TO VIRIAL SHOCKING IN THE HALO OF A MASSIVE z = 0.7 GALAXY

Using HST/COS/STIS and HIRES/Keck high-resolution spectra, we have studied a remarkable H i absorbing complex at z = 0.672 toward the quasar Q1317+277. The H i absorption has a velocity spread of Δv = 1600 km s−1, comprises 21 Voigt profile components, and resides at an impact parameter of D = 58 kpc from a bright, high-mass (log Mvir/M☉ ≃ 13.7) elliptical galaxy that is deduced to have a 6 Gyr old, solar metallicity stellar population. Ionization models suggest the majority of the structure is cold gas surrounding a shock-heated cloud that is kinematically adjacent to a multi-phase group of clouds with detected C iii, C iv, and O vi absorption, suggestive of a conductive interface near the shock. The deduced metallicities are consistent with the moderate in situ enrichment relative to the levels observed in the z ∼ 3 Lyα forest. We interpret the H i complex as a metal-poor filamentary structure being shock heated as it accretes into the halo of the galaxy. The data support the scenario of an early formation period (z > 4) in which the galaxy was presumably fed by cold-mode gas accretion that was later quenched via virial shocking by the hot halo such that, by intermediate redshift, the cold filamentary accreting gas is continuing to be disrupted by shock heating. Thus, continued filamentary accretion is being mixed into the hot halo, indicating that the star formation of the galaxy will likely remain quenched. To date, the galaxy and the H i absorption complex provide some of the most compelling observational data supporting the theoretical picture in which accretion is virial shocked in the hot coronal halos of high-mass galaxies.
Test des Flash-ADCs, optimisation de la conception du détecteur et développement d'un nouveau concept de reconstruction spatiale dans l'expérience d'oscillation de neutrinos Double Chooz

Double Chooz (DC) est une experience d'oscillation de neutrinos aupres de reacteurs, dont la finalite est la mesure du dernier angle de melange encore inconnu 913. Elle herite de l'experience passee CHOOZ qui etait limitee par des erreurs statistiques et systematiques a un niveau similaire d'environ 2. 8%. Afin de diminuer l'erreur statistique, la masse de la cible du detecteur DC a ete augmentee tandis que la reduction de l'erreur systematique est assuree par l'utilisation de deux detecteurs identiques. Un detecteur sera situe dans le voisinage des coeurs des reacteurs dans le but de controler le flux et le spectre des ~ve emis alors que l'autre sera place a l'endroit ou l'effet d'oscillation maximal est attendu. Le premier est communement denomme 'detecteur proche' par opposition au second denomme 'detecteur lointain'. Les erreurs attendues sont p. 5% (stat. ) et 0. 6% (syst. ) pour une ultime mesure sin2 2913 = 0. 05 (913 = 6. 5° ) a trois ecart-type apres trois annees de prise de donnees. Le demarrage du detecteur lointain est attendu pour novembre 2010 tandis que le detecteur proche sera operationnel pour la mi-2012. Cette these presente tout d'abord une contribution materielle a l'experience avec le test des Flash- ADCs qui constituent le coeur du systeme d'acquisition. Ensuite, elle presente des analyses effectuees sur des simulations Monte Carlo afin d'optimiser la conception du detecteur. Ce travail etait compose d'analyses dans le but de choisir des composantes du detecteur avec la contamination radioactives qui convient, des analyses dans le but d'obtenir la meilleure resolution en energie possible et une maniere de declencher la sauvegarde des donnees par le systeme d'acquisition la plus stable et la plus robuste possible. Les travaux sur l'optimisation du detecteur et les connaissances acquises sur les Flash-ADCs nous ont amene a envisager une nouvelle reconstruction spatiale basee sur le temps de vol des photons. Toutes ces contributions a l'experience sont presentees en details a travers ce manuscrit.
Decision‐making in Parkinson’s disease patients with and without pathological gambling

Background and purpose: Pathological gambling (PG) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a frequent impulse control disorder associated mainly with dopamine replacement therapy. As impairments in decision‐making were described independently in PG and PD, the objective of this study was to assess decision‐making processes in PD patients with and without PG.
Oral Lesions in Patients Attending Dermatology and STD/HIV Outpatient Department: Analysis of A Cohort of 300 Cases

Background: The oral mucosa and tongue constitute a barometer, a mirror reflecting the state of health of patient. Similar to skin, lesions in mouth speak for itself. They often provide unique opportunity to understand systemic disease process. With careful and judicious practice many systemic diseases can be identified through the manifestations present in oral cavity. It is in light of this that it was thought proper to carry out a prevalence study of some of commonly occurring oral lesions in a skin, STD/HIV and leprosy OPD. Aims and Objectives : This study was undertaken to find the prevalence of oral lesions related to dermatoses, sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection in outdoor patient department (OPD) with reference to number of cases, age and sex distribution.To determine percentage of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients among those with oral lesions.To analyze into various groups the oral pathologic conditions.To determine the local co-factors for oral lesions, if any. Methodology: The study was carried out in a cohort of 300 new patients attending the Skin, STD and HIV OPD of a teaching hospital in Department of Skin and V.D. in a Tertiary care centre. All new patients attending the OPD, irrespective of age, sex and presenting complaints were entered in the study. Results: Out of 300 patients studied 183 (61%) were male and 117 (39%) were females. Majority of patients belonged to age group 20 to 40 years. Out of 116 patients found to be having oral lesions only 15 (13%) had oral symptoms. 116 (38%) were having oral lesions of which 82 (27%) were males and 34 (11%) were females. Pigmentary disorders, carries and white deposits like candidiasis were much more common in males whereas lichen planus was more common in females.
rCBFlnltlal IN MAN C B F initial CHANGES upon CO 2 INHALATION REST CO 2 INHALATION PaCO 2 ( mm Hg ) MABP ( mmHg )

Regional Cerebral Blood Flow in Man Determined by the Initial Slope of the Clearance of Intraarterially Injected • The regional cerebral blood flow can be calculated from the initial slope of the logarithmically displayed clearance curve following intra-arterial injection of Xe (rCBF,,,,^,). The relationship between this parameter and the values resulting from stochastic (height over area) and compartmental analyses is extensively discussed. Experimental results demonstrate the theoretically expected close relationship between rCBFlnltlai and flow of gray substance (rCBFlnltlal 20% to 30% lower than Fg). It is shown how the cerebral clearance curve (normally biexponential) with low flow values becomes gradually monoexponential. Thus only flow of gray substance changes, whereas flow of white substance is independent of CBF^. CBF10 was shown to overestimate CBF^, with about 15% independent of the flow level. Correlation between OBF^^! and CBF10 was linear (r=0.98) at CBF10 values above 20ml/100gm/min. The CBF^tja! normal value is found to be 64 ± 9 ml/100 gm/min, and the interchannel coefficient of variation is 8.2%. A correction for remaining radioactivity from previous measurements is described. Using this, no significant difference was found between repeated resting state measurements. The CBFlnltlml-PaC09 relationship was found to be best described as exponential. In a group of patients with various intracranial diseases, 1 mm Hg change in P a ^ resulted in 4% change of CBFlnltlal quite independent of the CBFtaltlal level. ADDITIONAL
Rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure triggered by the seasonal flu vaccination in a patient taking simvastatin

A man in his 70s presented with bilateral, painful legs and feeling generally unwell following the seasonal flu vaccination. The patient had a background of B cell lymphoma in partial remission. His current medications included simvastatin. Initial investigations revealed rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure. He was admitted to critical care for renal replacement treatment. Other causes of rhabdomyolysis were excluded and expert opinion agreed that the most likely cause was the influenza vaccination with the concurrent use of simvastatin. The patient's renal function gradually normalised and after several months the patient has regained full power in his legs.
The potential for using non‐physicians to compensate for the reduced availability of residents

Both the number of residents and the amount of time existing residents have in which to carry out their activities may soon be decreasing. To consider the potential for alternative ways of staffing teaching hospitals, it is necessary to know how residents spend their time. The authors sought to learn this by conducting a time-motion study of eight internal medicine residents at two urban hospitals in New York City in 1988. The residents' activities were observed and coded by premedical students, and the authors independently classified the possible activities into (1) those that had to be done by a physician, (2) those that were educational only, and (3) those that could be done by a non-physician. A total of 1,726 activities of 67 kinds were coded, averaging 7.75 minutes each. The authors analyze and project their data using two models–the traditional model of care in which the physician is the primary medical manager of the patient, and an alternative model in which a midlevel practitioner, such as a nurse practitioner, would perform the day-to-day monitoring of patients. For example, the data indicate that in the traditional model, almost half of a resident's time is spent in activities that must be done by a physician, meaning that another kind of physician would be needed to do those activities if the resident were unavailable; but in the midlevel practitioner model, only around 20% of the activities would require a physician. The authors give detailed breakdowns of their data, estimate the kinds and numbers of non-physician health care professionals necessary to substitute for residents in appropriate activities, and review possible difficulties in implementing such substitutions.
CLOZAPINE AND HALOPERIDOL IN A SINGLE‐BLIND CROSS‐OVER TRIAL: THERAPEUTIC AND BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS IN THE TREATMENT OF SCHIZOPHRENIA

Twenty male hospitalized schizophrenic patients participated in a singleblind cross-over study of the antipsychotic properties, tolerance and side effects of clozapine and haloperidol. I t was found that both clozapine and haloperidol reduced the intensity of the core symptoms of schizophrenia. Clozapine, however, was significantly better than haloperidol for the treatment of somatic concern, anxiety, conceptual disorganisation, tension and mannerism/posturing. This difference manifested itself, in particular, in cases of severe schizophrenia. In addition to its antipsychotic effect, clozapine had a pronounced sedative and hypnotic effect, particularly during the initial stages. Both drugs were well tolerated in the doses used (clozapine 100-800 mg per day, haloperidol 3-32 mg per day). Clozapine induced autonomic side effects in the form of increased heart rate, orthostatic hypotension and hypersalivation. Haloperidol caused extrapyramidal side effects. Determination of the homovanillic acid in the cerebrospinal fluid was carried out on five of the patients prior to and during treatment. These results suggest that haloperidol increases the turnover of brain dopamine to a greater degree than clozapine. The relations between the pharmacological-biochemical data and the clinical observations are discussed.
Cash Holdings and Corporate Governance Around the World

In this paper, we provide new and complementing international evidence on the relation between cash holdings, corporate governance, and firm value. Our sample consists of a crosssection of 1,875 firms from 46 emerging and developed countries in 2007. We construct eight different measures of firm-level corporate governance based on 64 individual governance attributes provided by Governance Metrics International (GMI). We present three new main findings. First, firms with poor firm-level governance hold significantly more cash than firms with better firm-level governance. Second, we document a positive effect of cash holdings on firm value for firms with good firm-level corporate governance. A likely explanation is that in firms with weak firm-level governance, higher cash holdings might be exploited by the management and invested in negative-NPV projects. Third, we find that a payout of excess cash by means of dividend payments, which reduces the possibility for managers to waste cash on negative-NPV projects, also positively affects the valuation effect of cash holdings. Moreover, firms with comparatively low firm-level corporate governance can still profit from cash holdings if they maintain relatively high dividend payout ratios. We control for country-level corporate governance in our analyses but find its effect to be limited and dominated by the effect of firm-level governance.
The Effects of Job Satisfaction and Work-Life Balance on Employee Task Performance

This study was aimed to examine the role of job satisfaction and work-life balance on task performance of academic staffs in a selected public higher learning institution in Malaysia. This study which specifically examined the direct effect of perceived job satisfaction and work-life balance on task performance employed a quantitative research method and was participated by 120 respondents. Interviews were conducted with key company personnel to obtain information about factors affecting the academics staff’s task performance. Secondary data acquired from internal and external sources were used to support the primary data obtained to ensure precise analysis and interpretation. The research finding showed a positive association between job satisfaction and work-life balance on academicians’ task performance. The findings also showed that job satisfaction tend to be the strongest predictor of academicians’ task performance compared to work-life balance. Practical implications, limitations of the study and directions for future research were discussed.
A Competency Model for the Information Technology Workforce: Implications for Training and Selection

With a new wave of demand for information technology (IT) staff, it is time for the IT community to discover what competencies are needed for IT workers in the new millennium. Most organizations have outsourced their IT projects to low-cost centers in developing countries, and this has changed expectations about local workers-organizations need, and expect, to employ highly skilled IT professionals. This article draws on the competency model to explore what competencies are needed to successfully equip the IT workforce. This research uses the example of IT architects to illustrate how to use the competency model to identify important sets of competencies. We interview professional architects, analyze the content of the discussions and derive a list of fourteen competency attributes important to IT architects. Some competencies are easy to develop, others are difficult to change, and this has implications for university education and industry hiring. This article also discusses the general use of competency models for IT workforce training and selection.
Essays on Product Quality

markdownabstractThis dissertation extends existing knowledge on the perception and pursuit of product quality. Our nuanced findings identify overlooked motivational, perceptual, and structural drivers of perceived product quality. The first chapter examines an underexplored self-related motive that determines whether consumers choose inferior or superior products for themselves. We show that consumers with low self-esteem gravitate towards relatively inferior products because they strive to verify their negative self-views. The third chapter elucidates how consumer expertise, or knowledge, shapes perceptions of product quality. Specifically, we show that being knowledgeable entails benefits (“blessing of expertise”) but also costs (“curse of expertise”). Knowledgeable consumers enjoy elite products more than novices, but are less able to enjoy mundane products. In the second chapter, we examine what may cause producers to release lower quality products. By examining the motion picture industry as a case study, we highlight that arbitrary industry-set constraints on product length can hinder the product development process and may cause filmmakers to release movies that fail to appeal to consumers. This research has important managerial implications for professionals in the area of marketing. From a theoretical point of view, this dissertation extends the field’s understanding as to what causes consumers to perceive products as being lower or higher quality, and how choosing these products may serve self-related motives. Moreover, this research contributes to literature on product development processes. Our inquiry sets the stage to further examine a crucial, yet underexplored, driver of product quality: the interplay of production and post-production.
Long term sick leave, subjective health complaints and sense of coherence, a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background: Long-term work absence is increasing in Western countries. More people suffer from subjective health complaints, such as musculoskeletal pain and depression-like symptoms. Social rights and benefits are based on medical diagnoses; hence large resources are used to identify the biological causes. An alternative approach towards medicalization and diagnosis, like Salutogenesis, with the key factor “Sense of coherence” (SOC) should be approved. Purpose: To explore the level of SOC, anxiety and depression, as well as the associations between SOC and general resistance resources (GRRs) and deficits, in people with subjective health complaints on long term sick leave. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study, including data from 892 participants from the Friskgården (Norwegian health promotion center) database. The questionnaire included the SOC-13, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and questions about demographics and sick leave. Multivariable linear regression models were used. Results: Participants’ mean (SD) age was 49 (10) years, 70% were women. Mean SOC was 59.4 (13.3). The mean anxiety and depression for all participants were 8.7 (4.4) and 6.2 (3.8) respectively. No difference was found in SOC in participants on sick leave less than, compared with more than one year (p = 0.07). Conclusions: People on long-term sick leave have lower SOC and higher level of anxiety and depression than previously shown in general populations. Large parts of the SOC variation are explained by GRRs and deficits, indicating potentials for improvement by for instance participation in Salutogenic/resource oriented therapy.
