Ideal Model in the Implementation of National Insight Policies for Handling Social Conflict in Pandeglang Regency

Pandeglang Regency is one of the regencies located in Banten Province which is a strategic area because it is close to the capital city of the Republic of Indonesia. Its proximity to the capital causes Pandegalang Regency to have the potential for high social conflict. This is supported by data showing that the number of conflicts in Pandeglang Regency was the highest in Banten Province in 2011 although there was a tendency to decrease in the following year. To suppress the occurrence of social conflicts in Pandeglang District, the local government has implemented a National Insight Policy with a collaborative governance perspective. The research describes the factors that influence the implementation of these policies and tries to formulate an ideal method that can be used in the application of a national insight policy. This study uses a qualitative approach so that in interpreting the conditions of the actors, it is further developed by means of triangulation analysis. The results of the study found that there were several factors that influenced the implementation of the national insight policy such as the insufficient capability of the national insight education center team, low community participation, limited budget. In this study, researchers also tried to design a model for implementing the national insight policy in social conflict management.
Incorporation is Not Enough: The Agenda Influence of Black Lawmakers in Congressional Committees

Abstract Traditionally, scholars argue that the committee structure is central to the policymaking process in congress, and that those that wield the gavel in committees enjoy a great deal of influence over the legislative agenda. The most recent iterations of Congress are more diverse than ever before. With 55 members—of whom, five chair full committees and 28 sit atop subcommittees—the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is in a place to wield a significant leverage over the legislative agenda in the 116th Congress. However, noticeable proportional gains in minority membership in Congress have yet to produce sizable policy gains for the communities they represent. An examination of bill sponsorship from the 103rd–112th congresses reveals underlying institutional forces—i.e., marginalization and negative agenda setting—leave Black lawmakers at a distinct disadvantage compared to their non-black counterparts. Bills in policy areas targeted by the CBC are subject to disproportionate winnowing in congressional committees. Unfortunately, a number of institutional resources often found to increase a bill's prospects—including placements and leadership on committees with jurisdiction over policy areas of interest—are relatively ineffective for CBC members looking to forward those key issues onto the legislative agenda.

Working capital management and firm profitability: Evidence from SMEs in Malaysia

Efficient working capital management is particularly important for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in coping with greater difficulty in accessing capital market. In this research, we investigate the importance of working capital management to SMEs by analyzing the influence of working capital management and its components (inventory, accounts receivable and account payable) to profitability of SMEs. By using a sample of SMEs listed on the ACE market – an alternative, sponsor-driven equity market designed for Malaysian SMEs during the period from 2010 to 2016, our findings suggest that managers of Malaysian SMEs can enhance profitability by holding a large amount of inventory, offering more trade credit to customers, and lengthening the cash conversion cycle.
Geographically weighted regression modelling of the spatial association between malaria cases and environmental factors in Cameroon.

Background: Studies have illustrated the association of malaria cases with environmental factors in Cameroon but limited in addressing how these factors vary in space for timely public health interventions. Thus, we want to find the spatial variability between malaria hotspot cases and environmental predictors using Geographically weighted regression (GWR) spatial modelling technique.Methods: The global Ordinary least squares (OLS) in the modelling spatial relationships tool in ArcGIS 10.3. was used to select candidate explanatory environmental variables for a properly specified GWR model. The local GWR model used the global OLS candidate variables to examine, predict and explore the spatial variability between environmental factors and malaria hotspot cases generated from Getis-Ord Gi* statistical analysis. Results: The OLS candidate environmental variable coefficients were statistically significant (adjusted R2 = 22.3% and p < 0.01) for a properly specified GWR model. The GWR model identified a strong spatial association between malaria cases and rainfall, vegetation index, population density, and drought episodes in most hotspot areas and a weak correlation with aridity and proximity to water with an overall model performance of 0.243 (adjusted R2= 24.3%). Conclusion: The generated GWR maps suggest that for policymakers to eliminate malaria in Cameroon, there should be the creation of malaria outreach programs and further investigations in areas where the environmental variables showed strong spatial associations with malaria hotspot cases.

The Persian Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire: Validation in Patients with Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain

Background Illness perceptions may influence coping behaviors as well as treatment and recovery among patients with chronic pain including low back pain (LBP). These perceptions may vary across different conditions. The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) is used as an instrument to assess the patients' perception of illness. Although the BIPQ has been previously translated into Persian, its psychometric properties have not been evaluated among patients with chronic nonspecific LBP. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the Persian BIPQ in patients with chronic nonspecific LBP. Methods 116 patients with chronic nonspecific LBP with a mean (standard deviation) age of 36.4 years (10.7) participated in this cross-sectional study. Fifty patients were reexamined after 10 to 12 days for test-retest reliability. Internal consistency reliability, construct validity, concurrent criterion validity, and structural validity were evaluated. The concurrent validity was examined by using the Short Form-36 Health Survey. Results There were no floor and ceiling effects. Cronbach's alpha for the total score was 0.90. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for test-retest reliability was 0.90. The standard error of measurement and the minimal detectable change was found to be 3.26 and 9.04, respectively. The convergent correlations confirmed the construct validity. The concurrent criterion validity was demonstrated by significant negative correlations with the SF-36. The Exploratory Factor Analysis produced the 2 factors (emotional illness representations and cognitive illness representations) with an eigenvalue >1.0 that jointly accounted for 58.86% of the total variance. Conclusion The Persian BIPQ is a reliable and 2-factor instrument and can be used for assessing illness perception in patients with chronic nonspecific LBP.

Crystal chemistry and light elements analysis of Ti-rich garnets

Abstract A suite of Ti-bearing garnets from magmatic, carbonatitic, and metamorphic rocks was studied by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), Mössbauer spectroscopy, and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to better characterize their crystal chemistry. The studied garnets show TiO2 varying in the range of 4.9(1) to 17.1(2) wt% and variable Fe3+/ΣFe content. SIMS analyses allowed quantification of light elements yielding H2O in the range 0.091(7)–0.46(4), F in the range 0.004(1)–0.040(4), and Li2O in the range 0.0038(2)–0.014(2) wt%. Mössbauer analysis provided spectra with different complexity, which could be fitted to several components variable from one (YFe3+) to four (YFe2+, ZFe2+, YFe3+, ZFe3+). A good correlation was found between the Fe3+/ΣFe resulting from the Mössbauer analysis and that derived from the Flank method. X-ray powder analysis revealed that the studied samples are a mixture of different garnet phases with very close cubic unit-cell parameters as recently found by other authors. Single-crystal X-ray refinement using anisotropic displacement parameters were performed in the Ia3d space group and converged to 1.65 ≤ R1 ≤ 2.09% and 2.35 ≤ wR2 ≤ 3.02%. Unit-cell parameters vary in the range 12.0641(1) ≤ a ≤ 12.1447(1) Å, reflecting different Ti contents and extent of substitutions at tetrahedral site. The main substitution mechanisms affecting the studied garnets are: YR4+ + ZR3+ ↔ ZSi + YR3+ (schorlomite substitution); YR2+ + ZR4+ ↔ 2YR3+ (morimotoite substitution); YR3+ ↔ YFe3+ (andradite substitution); in the above substitutions YR2+ = Fe2+, Mg2+, Mn2+; ZR4+ = Ti; YR3+ = Fe3+, Al3+, Cr3+;ZR3+ = Fe3+, Al3+. Minor substitutions, such as 2YTi4++ ZFe2+ ↔ 2YFe3+ + ZSi, (SiO4)4– ↔ (O4H4)4–, F– ↔ OH–, and YR4+ + XR+ ↔ YR3+ + XCa2+, with YR4+ = Ti, Zr; YR3+ = Fe3+, Al, Cr3+; XR+ = Na, Li also occur.

Aveolar Macrophage Activation and Cytokine Storm in the Pathogenesis of Severe COVID-19

The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to a series of clinical settings from non-symptomatic viral carriers/spreaders to severe illness characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)1,2. A sizable part of patients with COVID-19 have mild clinical symptoms at the early stage of infection, but the disease progression may become quite rapid in the later stage with ARDS as the common manifestation and followed by critical multiple organ failure, causing a high mortality rate of 7-10% in the elderly population with underlying chronic disease1-3. The pathological investigation in the lungs and other organs of fatal cases is fundamental for the mechanistic understanding of severe COVID-19 and the development of specific therapy in these cases. Gross anatomy and molecular markers allowed us to identify, in two fatal patients subject to necropsy, the main pathological features such as exudation and hemorrhage, epithelium injuries, infiltration of macrophages and fibrosis in the lungs. The mucous plug with fibrinous exudate in the alveoli and the activation of alveolar macrophages were characteristic abnormalities. These findings shed new insights into the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and justify the use of interleukin 6 (IL6) receptor antagonists and convalescent plasma with neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 for severe patients.Authors Chaofu Wang, Jing Xie, Lei Zhao, Xiaochun Fei, Heng Zhang, and Yun Tan contributed equally to this work.

Vibrational Properties of Metal Nanoparticles: Atomistic Simulation and Comparison with Time-Resolved Investigation

Knowledge of the vibrational spectrum of metal clusters and nanoparticles is of fundamental interest since it is a signature of their morphology, and it can be used to determine their mechanical, thermodynamical, and other physical properties. It is expected that such a vibrational spectrum depends on the material, size, and shape of clusters and nanoparticles. In this work, we report the vibrational spectra and density of states of Au, Pt, and Ag nanoparticles in the size range of 0.5–4 nm (13–2057 atoms), with icosahedral, Marks decahedral, and FCC morphologies. The vibrational spectra were calculated through atomistic simulations (molecular dynamics and a normal-mode analysis) using the many-body Gupta potential. A discussion on the dependence of the vibrational spectrum on the material, size, and shape of the nanoparticle is presented. Linear relations with the nanoparticle diameter were obtained for the periods of two characteristic oscillations: the quasi-breathing and the lowest frequency (acoustic.
Growing Innovative Calcium Carbonate Morphologies by Utilizing the Colloidal Gas Aphron System as a Surfactant-Based Template Method

Many studies have been conducted to study the various polymorphs and morphologies of calcium carbonate crystals in nature and living organisms. In this experimental work, a novel method has been employed to crystallize calcium carbonate by using colloidal gas aphron dispersion. The polymorph and morphology of prepared particles were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry techniques. SEM and XRD analyses demonstrated that the morphology of synthesized CaCO3 can be changed from spherical (vaterite phase) to novel rod and plate-like shapes (mixture of vaterite and calcite phases) with changes in the surfactant concentration. The quantitative examination results of different calcium carbonate polymorph orientations showed that the precursor concentrations had no significant effect on the orientation of calcite phase, but rather they affected the orientation development of vaterite phase at a higher surfactant concentration.
Determinants of Co-operatives’ Dividend Payout in Malaysia

The co-operative sector in Malaysia is targeted to be a pivotal contributor to the economy. As community-based organizations, co-operatives are not only concerned about the businesses bottom lines, but also about fulfilling the members’ needs and improving the communities’ quality of life. In a nutshell, the co-operative business model is aimed at enhancing the socio-economy of their members and the local community that cannot be measured solely by financial statements and standard financial ratios. Co-operatives should attempt to measure the member-level returns, and dividend payment is one of the measures. Payments of dividend highlight the ‘member-owner’ role of co-operative membership. The dividend payment provides incentives for external investor or members to leave funds in the co-operative. This payment in return will help the co-operatives in getting the supplies of funds from members to invest in profit generating project or assets. This study examines factors affecting dividend payout of 360 leading co-operatives in Malaysia. Both financial and non-financial parameters were assessed which were then translated as formative determinants of dividend payout. Findings showed that return on assets, both co-operatives financial and nonfinancial parameters, age and size have a significant influence towards the dividend payout among Malaysian co-operatives. This result provides consistent evidence that dividend payout decisions in the co-operatives are similar to the profit-oriented organizations. The positive association between all performance measures and dividend support the agency cost and signaling theories of dividend policy, while the unexpected results of a negative relationship between age and dividend payout provide support for legitimacy theory.
