The high complexity of the enterprise architecture (EA) management calls for decision support by organizationspecific indicators for performance measurement. Many EA management frameworks and approaches were presented in last few years to support enterprise architects with the development of their EA management. Some of these approaches became well-accepted and defacto-standards in this field over the years. Nevertheless, enterprise architects still lack decision support by relevant KPIs for performance measurement in these frameworks. In this article, we outline the research questions arising, when organization-specific KPIs for concrete EA management goals are to be defined. We further sketch a possible solution for this problem as firstly outlining a development of a practice-proven KPI catalog for the measurement of EA management goals. Secondly, a so-called performance indicator definition language (PIDL), representing practice-proven computations, is introduced and concrete performance indicator definitions (PIDs) are derived from the developed KPI collection. These PIDs are then finally integrated with the building blocks for enterprise architecture management solutions approach of Buckl et al. to support the definition of organization-specific performance measurement.

The Impact of Internal Audit and its Quality on Sales in Economic Institutions: A Case Study (Al-Ahlia Cement Company - Libya)

The objective of this study was to find out the effect of internal audit and its quality on sales in the economic institutions, because the auditing works to show the actual result of the institution. The research was based on the statistical analysis program (SPSS) and descriptive analysis. The researchers used the arithmetic mean the standard deviation to describe the questionnaire items and Pearson correlation coefficient between variables. The study found that there is a strong relationship between the internal audit and the quality of internal audit, and sales in economic institutions, and that the staff of the audit department are characterized by integrity and honesty. The internal audit has a prominent role in the decision-making by the beneficiaries, and the presence of a special section of the audit of sales in the institution checks the invoices with the goods out, and monitors the sales by an independent person. The researcher recommended that the opinions of the auditors should be according to the accepted accounting principles. The courses should be done in dealing with the computer in completing the transactions. He recommended that the sales operations should be analyzed periodically to avoid fraud in the invoices.
Effect of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) on Profitability of Deposit Money Banks (DMB’s): A Study of DMB’s with International Operating License in Nigeria

The study examined the Effect of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) on Profitability of Deposit Money Banks (DMB’s) as obtained from their annual report for 2017 using their Return on Assets (RoA) as Profitability parameter. OLS method was used via SPSS 20.0 to run the data used in the research with findings that; there exist a strong positive relationship between CAR and ROA of Deposit Money Banks (DMB’s) in Nigeria and recommends that the banks’ regulators should not only focus on Capital Adequacy but also on strategic monitoring and evaluation to maintain banks’ financial strength and stability in Nigeria.

The emerging fintech and financial slack on corporate financial performance

FinTech innovations are one of strategic decisions to increase the profitability of a company. This study determines the level of profitability of companies before and after the emergence of FinTech products. The authors focused on companies that have launched FinTech products and published their financial reports. The study sample consisted of 17 FinTech products from 16 companies in Indonesia. The limited number of the sample was caused by not all of them having published its financial reports, while we have checked 157 FinTech companies. An event study approach using paired sample T-test is utilized. The period used in this study is four years, covering two years before and two years after the company launched FinTech products. Data were obtained from IDX, FinTech.id, and company web-pages. The results clearly showed that there was a significant influence on return on assets (ROA), but no significant difference in return on equity (ROE). This finding gives more contribution to the FinTech industry about the company’s profitability impact of launching FinTech product.

Symmetry of the Charge Ordering Phases in Hole-Doped Cuprates Studied by Resonant X-Ray Absorption and Scattering

In the underdoped cuprates, superconductivity coexists with a rich variety of other electronic orders. Understanding the nature of these orders, how they interact with one another, and the mechanisms that produce them is key to understanding the electronic behaviour of this important class of quantum materials. In this dissertation, we report on the results from three novel experiments that used resonant x-ray spectroscopy to explore the symmetry of the charge density wave (CDW) and other phases in Laand Y-based cuprates. For the uninitiated reader, a brief theoretical description of the experimental methods is also provided. Theoretical proposals have suggested that CDW order in the cuprates may adhere to a d-symmetry form factor, where charge on the O sites surrounding Cu in the CuO2 planes modulates out of phase and produces a quadrupolar local environment. This is supported by STM measurements in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x and Ca2−xNaxCuO2Cl2 and resonant x-ray scattering in YBa2Cu3O6+x (YBCO). We conduct our own resonant scattering measurements on La1.875Ba0. 125CuO4 and find evidence for a monopolar CDW, confirmed at both the O and Cu absorption edges where the measurement selectively probes the respective in-plane orbitals. Studying the (0 0.31 L) CDW peak at the Cu edge in YBCO, we again find the same result. Furthermore, using an alternative measurement geometry that is more sensitive to the symmetry of the CDW, we are able to contrast our results against a previous study that was limited by experimental accuracy. Finally, we find a surprisingly different symmetry at the (0.31 0 L) peak in YBCO that indicates the presence of orbital order alongside simple charge order. Model calculations for this data propose a CDW with significant in-plane anisotropy, or perhaps with a modulating orbital orientation. Anisotropy in electronic structure that arises from strong correlations—classified as electronic nematicity—has been observed in multiple cuprates, and whether or not this electronic ordering phase should be suspected as a generic feature of the underdoped phase diagram has become a topic of debate. Exploiting a unique structural distortion in the La-based cuprates, we perform anisotropic tensor scattering (ATS) on resonance in samples with a variety of isovalent and heterovalent dopings to investigate the relationship between structure, CDW order, and electronic nematic order. In four of the five samples, we observe a temperature evolution that is distinct from the structural distortion in the spectra that corresponds to orbitals in the CuO2 plane, indicating the presence of an electronic nematic phase. Like CDW order, this phase often onsets at the same temperature as the structural distortion, or else below the base temperature of our spectrometer. However, the CDW is clearly seen to onset at a moderately lower temperature than the other phases in La1.65Eu0. 2Sr0.15CuO4, revealing an enhancement in the electronic nematicity at TCDW.
Design of reliable and uncertain multirate control systems forced by bounded exogenous signals

This paper considers the design of digital control systems, where the measurement mechanism is nonstandard, that is, each output is measured at its own rate. It addresses the classical regulator problem, under the assumptions that the exogenous signals are bounded, the instrumentation is subject to failures or the plant parameters undergo large variations. Some suff icient conditions are given for the existence of centralized and decentralized least-order regulators able to solve the problems outlined.
Babies, Work, or Both? Highly Educated Women’s Employment and Fertility in East Asia1

Highly educated women’s likelihood of combining childrearing with continuous employment over the life course has increased among recent U.S. cohorts. This trend is less evident in many postindustrial countries characterized by very low fertility. Among such countries, Japan and Korea have exceptionally low proportions of women who remain employed after having children, despite aggressive government policies designed to encourage this. We draw on over 160 in-depth interviews with highly educated Japanese and Korean men and women of childbearing age to uncover the central incompatibilities between married women’s employment and childrearing. Individuals’ narratives reveal how labor market structure and workplace norms contribute to a highly gendered household division of labor, leading many married women to either forsake employment or to consider having only one child.
Breach of trust - getting it right for children in early childhood care and education in Ireland

In May 2013 an expose of verbal, physical and emotional abuse of young children attending three early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings in Ireland was aired on national television in a documentary called Breach of Trust. This paper argues that while the programme raised public awareness of fundamental flaws within the ECCE system in Ireland, it also came as no surprise that bad practices had been exposed. This paper specifically explores the policies and government in/action that led to the public revelations. It also critiques the Irish government's response to the issues highlighted and its proposed plan to address these issues.
Financing special needs and inclusive education – from Salamanca to the present

ABSTRACT The focus of this paper is upon an examination of the ‘direction of travel’ in European countries from special needs education to inclusive education – a development influenced by the Salamanca Statement. The 1994 Salamanca Statement argued that inclusive schools provide ‘an effective education for the majority of children and improve the efficiency and ultimately the cost-effectiveness of the entire education system’ (ix). Underpinning this assertion are issues around special needs and inclusive education are financed. The paper will examine the degree to which the critical issue of financing has – or has not – changed across European countries since Salamanca. This examination takes retrospective look at key issues identified in the European Agency 1999 study of funding models for special education in 17 European countries, compared and contrasted with those identified in a 2016 study of approaches to funding inclusive education in 18 European countries. This paper argues that the essential issues underpinning their financing mechanisms have changed very little. For many European countries, changing systems of financing of inclusive education can still be seen as a key lever for achieving the goal of more widespread inclusion of learners with special educational needs, as outlined in the 1994 Salamanca Statement.
Beyond the S-Curve: Insurance Penetration, Institutional Quality and Financial Market Development

This paper provides new evidence of factors, other than GDP per capita, that correlate with the development of insurance markets. Based on 20 years of insurance premium data from 180 countries, and a similar wealth of data on institutions and financial market development, the paper presents important correlates of insurance market development. Although the analysis cannot identify which factors directly cause insurance market growth, the results suggest that interventions aimed at stimulating insurance supply and demand should take enabling factors, such as the quality of institutional governance and the degree of financial market development, into consideration.
Komunikasi Interpersonal Pengawas Minum Obat Berperspektif Gender dengan Kepatuhan Berobat Penderita Tuberkulosis di Tiga Puskesmas di Kabupaten Bogor

The problem of tuberculosis (TB) control is still very large in Indonesia. Pengawas minum obat (PMO) for each patient tuberculosis expected to ensure the regularity of the patients taking medicine. The objectives of the study are 1) to analyze interpersonal communication skills of PMO gender perspective with TB patient, and 2) to analyze relationship between interpersonal communication skills PMO gender perspective with TB patient treatment compliance. Explanatory research method with cross-sectional study design, with a total sample of 82 of the PMO at three Public Health Centers PMO Ciomas, Cileungsi, Cibinong. Data were collected using questionnaire and analyzed using chi-square. The results showed the relationship between the characteristics of the PMO with interpersonal communication skills PMO value of p > 0.01 so give no significant relationship, the relationship between gender perspectif with interpersonal communication skills PMO is p <0.01 means that there is significant correlation. The relationship between the PMO interpersonal communication skills with patient compliance level p <0.01 means that there is a significant relationship. Conclusion characteristics of the PMO are the largely nonexistent relationship with interpersonal communication skills of PMO, whereas the gender perspective is significally correlated to interpersonal communication skills of the PMO. The level of interpersonal communication skills are significantly correlated of TB treatment compliance.
Private Sector Consumption Behavior and Non-Keynesian Effects of Fiscal Policy

This paper explores the hypothesis that the propensity to consume out of income is not constant but varies, perhaps in a nonlinear fashion, with fiscal variables. It examines whether there is any empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that households move from non-Ricardian to Ricardian behavior as government debt reaches high levels and as uncertainty about future taxes increases. The paper also examines the possibility of a relationship (along the lines of the Bertola-Drazen model) between the propensity to consume out of income and the government consumption-to-GDP ratio.
Kick start – martial arts as a non-traditional school sport: an Australian case study of Taekwondo for Years 7–12 students

ABSTRACT Opportunities exist for Australian schools to benefit from the inclusion of martial arts in the Australian Curriculum Health and Physical Education and the pending inclusion of Taekwondo in the national Sporting Schools program. The greatest challenge for introducing martial arts into schools lies with instruction. This qualitative case study explores Taekwondo as part of a co-curricular sports program for Years 7–12 students at an elite private boys’ school in Melbourne, gauging the benefits for learning, health, and wellbeing of students. Themes emerging from thematic data analysis: confidence, discipline, respect, and fitness resonate with prior literature. New phenomena are benefits of leadership irrespective of age and Taekwondo’s positioning as a non-traditional indoor sport, inclusive of students unfamiliar with or disengaged from traditional team sports. The study suggests traditional Taekwondo can promote self-regulation in education and may usefully expand school-based offerings and repertoires in line with curriculum policy reform.

Abstract: The development of information and communication technology (ICT) brings significant changes in various fields of human life including the field of education. Education as the main pillar of the nation in order to build the quality of Indonesian human resources with superior character. Education must be able to adapt to the rapid development of science and technology. The integration of internet technology with smartphones gave birth to people's opportunities for lifelong learning. Mobile learning is one of the trends in the field of adult education technology which is now expected to be able to facilitate the learning needs of all groups. Besides that mobile learning can be a solution to the problem of equity and limited access to education. However, government policies are needed to encourage the development of a mobile learning system. The policy in question is ideally in the form of a system that is managed professionally. Thus mobile learning that is well designed, developed, utilized, managed and evaluated is expected to play a role in building a culture of community learning and contributing to the improvement of Indonesia's superior and globally competitive human development index.
The Social and Emotional Resources Inventory: Further Development of a Comprehensive Self-Report Measure of Protective Factors

ABSTRACT Childhood trauma has been associated with negative life outcomes including poor emotional adjustment in adulthood, low educational and professional attainment, and all manner of psychopathology. However, recent research has noted that the majority of individuals with histories of childhood trauma adapt successfully to adulthood and live happy and productive lives. Researchers now recognize that the presence of certain protective environmental and personal factors can improve how children cope with obstacles presented by histories of trauma. By identifying these factors, researchers can help clinicians, social justice advocates and others take a pro-active approach to reducing the negative effects of childhood trauma. There currently exists no highly comprehensive measure of protective factors. This study aimed to finalize the Social Emotional Resources Inventory (SERI) – a comprehensive measure of protective factors – by revising the SERI where necessary and providing previously lacking estimates of convergent and discriminant evidence. The final SERI consists of 55 items, grouped into 14 factors, which may be hierarchically grouped into second and third-order factors if necessary. The results of this SERI administration demonstrated acceptable test-retest reliability and convergent/discriminant validity across most sub-scales. The results of this study highlight important domains for future research.
Smartphone-size screens constrain cognitive access to video news stories

ABSTRACT Smartphones are expanding physical access to news and political information by making access to the internet available to more people, at more times throughout the day, and in more locations than ever before. But how does the portability of smartphones – afforded by their small size – affect cognitive access to news? Specifically, how do smartphone-size screens constrain attentiveness and arousal? We investigate how mobile technology constrains cognitive engagement through a lab-experimental study of individuals’ psychophysiological responses to network news on screens the size of a typical laptop computer, versus a typical smartphone. We explore heart rate variability, skin conductance levels, and the connection between skin conductance and the tone of news content. Results suggest lower levels of cognitive access to video news content on a mobile-sized screen, which has potentially important consequences for public attention to current affairs in an increasingly mobile media environment.
Learning to Thread the Needle: Information Technology Strategies

This paper examines the role of information technology-enabled communications in driving market orientation and learning orientation toward marketing productivity and operational performance. Our study of 233 marketing managers found evidence of an indirect relationship in which organizational learning mediated the effects of IT-enabled communications on market orientation, which, in turn, affected perceptions of marketing productivity and operational performance. We also found evidence of a direct relationship between IT-enabled communications and marketing productivity and performance. These findings suggest that two IT-enabled roles are perceived within the marketing function. First, IT-enabled communications are guided by the strategic percepts of organizational learning and market orientation to provide superior customer value. Second, IT-enabled communications, unguided by organizational learning and market orientation, are used tactically to provide information and control in support of managerial efforts to lower costs and increase factor utilization.
Intergroup Discrimination as a Predictor of Conflict within the Same Organization. The Role of Organizational Identity

The main purpose of this research is to shed light upon how perception of intergroup discrimination is related to perception of organizational conflict. This phenomenon is mediated by group identification and moderated by organizational identification. The sample was constituted by 466 employees belonging to the staff of Administration and Service of a Spanish public University. Main research results show that perceived discrimination has a direct effect on organizational conflict through group identification. The relationship between perceived discrimination and group identification is moderated by organizational identification.
