The Effect of Gas Emission Disclosure, Solid Waste Disclosure, and Effluent Disclosure on Firm Value

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the disclosure of waste information and the firm value in Indonesian’s PROPER participant companies listed in Indonesia stock exchange. The waste information is examined by expanding waste components more specifically that is gas emission, solid waste, and liquid waste (effluent). The firm value is examined from an economic perspective by using the stock price. This research uses modified Ohlson valuation model with regression of panel data to analyze the PROPER participant companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the years 2016-2018. To identify the waste information disclosure, this paper develops the quantified measurement based on content analysis from the company’s Annual Report adopted from prior research. Consistent with the signaling theory, this research empirically generates findings that the disclosure of gas emission, solid waste, and effluent by the company, either together or separately, have a positive relationship towards the price of the company's stock. This shows that the market gives a positive reaction to companies that voluntarily disclose their waste information, so the waste information disclosure considered to be a "good news" for the company in the capital market.
Magnetic properties of Fe-doped organic–inorganic nanohybrids

We present a magnetic study of Fe-doped diureasils (siloxane-based networks to which poly(ethylene oxide)-based chains are grafted by urea cross linkages doped with Fe(II) or Fe(III) ions. Structural studies show that the Fe(II) ions interact mainly with the organic chain, whereas the incorporation of Fe(III) leads to the formation of iron-based nanoclusters, with radius increasing from 20 to 40 A. Fe(II)-doped samples behave as simple paramagnets, with μeff=5.32 μB. Fe(III)-doped hybrids present antiferromagnetic interactions, with TN increasing with Fe(III) concentration up to 13.6 K for 6% doping. Thermal irreversibility was observed below ∼40 K and is stronger for higher concentrations. The coercive fields (HC) are of the order of 1000 Oe at 5 K. Hysteresis cycles are shifted to negative fields, revealing the presence of exchange anisotropy interactions with exchange fields (HE) of the order of 100 Oe. Both fields decrease rapidly with increasing temperature. We analyze this behavior in terms of the c.
The Effect of One Teach-One Assist Model of Co-teaching on Iranian EFL Learners’ Reading Comprehension

Co-teaching is a method that two teachers work together and deliver the instruction in the same classroom to a heterogeneous group of learners. This study was an attempt to find out the effect of one teach-one assist model of co-teaching on Iranian EFL learners’ reading comprehension. To this end, a quasi-experimental design with the pre-test, post-test, and control group was employed and 35 female students within the age range of 15-18 at the elementary level were selected as the participants of the study from Sanjesh-E-No institute in Tabriz, Iran. They were randomly assigned into the experimental and control groups after taking Key English Test (KET). The experimental group received instruction through two teachers while the control group was taught by a single teacher. Both groups took part in the pre-test and post-test of reading comprehension. The results of an independent-samples t-test revealed that the experimental group had significantly better reading performance compared to the control group. The results of the study can be useful for teachers, students, and any ELT program.
Molecular Phylogeny of Predatory Ladybird Beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Inferred from COI Sequences

The Coccinellidae is a highly diversified family of the Coleoptera. Coccinellids are well recognized because of their use as biocontrol agents and they are the subject of many ecological studies. However, little is known concerning phylogenetic relationships of the Coccinellidae, and a precise evolutionary framework is still required for the family. In this study, therefore, we endeavoured to use molecular taxonomic identification on the Cocinellidae. We also provided the first phylogenetic reconstruction of the relationships within the Coccinellidae based on analysis of a 658-bp fragment of mitochondrial DNA from the 5’ region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. Afterwards, all obtained COI sequences were verified and compared to sequences previously deposited in Genbank using BLAST. It was discovered that they were similar to Coccinellidae with 99-100% identities. Eleven coccinellid species (10 genera) belonging to four subfamilies (Coccinellinae, Chilocorinae, Sticholotidinae and Scymninae) and relevant outgroup were reconstructed using the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) method with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. The recovered phylogeny was revealed that most of subfamilies (except Sticholotidinae) of Coccinellidae were reciprocally monophyletic and the threshold level of nucleotide divergence was 0.155% ± 0.008, suggesting that this DNA barcoding, when combined with bioinformatics, provided a reliable method for the taxonomic classification of coccinellid beetles in this time.
Northern Populism: Causes and Consequences of the New Ordered Outlook

Canada has not been left untouched by a new authoritarian, or ordered, populism that has seen the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president and the United Kingdom vote to leave the European Union. Based on measurements of public opinion and other means developed to assess the phenomenon, this paper finds that populism in Canada is a significant political force, replacing the traditional left-right political spectrum. Not only has northern populism created a heightened partisan polarization in Canada, but it also proved to be a strong predictor of the outcome of the 2019 federal election. The authorsâ€™ research shows that 34 per cent of Canadians maintain a populist outlook. Older, less-educated, working-class Canadians are the most likely to sympathize with ordered populism, and it is more prevalent in Alberta and Saskatchewan. It is also more closely aligned with Canadians whose political sympathies lie with conservative political parties
Chemistry and physics of a winter stratus cloud layer: A case study

The chemical and physical properties of a supercooled stratus cloud layer and surrounding clear air covering southern Ontario on February 20, 1984, were studied with the objectives of identifying the processes responsible for the cloud water chemical composition. The cloud layer, which extended from circa 650 to 1050 m mean sea level, was bounded by a strong temperature inversion just at cloud top. The air below this inversion was well mixed vertically, as indicated by the near independence of concentrations of various trace gas species with altitude and by conservation of number concentration of particles from the surface to cloud top, with below-cloud aerosol number concentrations (0.2 < d < 3 μm) approximately equal to the sum of the interstitial aerosol and cloud droplet (2 < d < 30 μm) number concentrations. Fractional incorporation of aerosol sulfate into cloud water, determined by comparison of interstitial and cloud water sulfate concentrations, was in the range of 85–90%, similar to the result inferred from comparison of interstitial aerosol and cloud droplet number concentrations. Gas phase equivalent concentrations of cloud water species were the same (within experimental error) as the concentrations of aerosol and soluble trace gas species in the below-cloud air. These results suggest that the dominant processes determining cloud water composition in this cloud layer were nucleation scavenging of sulfate aerosol and scavenging of gaseous HNO3, with no significant contribution from reactive scavenging processes.
Calculation of the surface energy of bcc metals by using the modified embedded‐atom method

The surface energies for 24 surfaces of bcc metals Li, Na, K, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W and Fe have been calculated by using the modified embedded‐atom method. The results show that for most bcc metals the lowest surface energies correspond to the (110) surface, as predicted from the bcc lattice, and the highest surface energies correspond to the (433) surface. From surface energy minimization, the (110) texture should be favourable in the bcc films. This is consistent with experimental results. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Diurnal variation of non-methane hydrocarbons in the subantarctic atmosphere

Environmental context. The ocean surface is known to be supersaturated in some non-methane hydrocarbons and particularly alkenes. This oceanic source, though small on a global scale, can be a dominant component of the background atmosphere in remote areas. Attempts have been made to quantify this source, in order to estimate its magnitude in the budgets of these gases in the water column and the atmosphere. A main difficulty is to determine the production processes involved under the effects of plankton activity and solar and UV radiation penetration in the water column. Abstract. Non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) play a key role in the photochemistry of the remote atmosphere. They are oxidised by OH radicals and subsequently lead to a net formation of peroxy radicals, which have a crucial role in the budget of tropospheric ozone. Whereas in polluted areas, the effect of light hydrocarbons results in a net formation of ozone, in non- or low-polluted areas, the self-reaction of peroxy radicals dominates and leads eventually to ozone destruction, which in turn acts significantly on the OH budget. In remote environments, the origin of the NMHC background level is clearly attributed to a marine production, but a great uncertainty still exists about its geographical, seasonal and diurnal variability. Here, we present in situ measurements of NMHCs and particularly of alkenes in subantarctic areas, which show very systematic diurnal trends in agreement with an origin clearly dependent on photochemical processes on the surface seawater. The diurnal variability of alkene atmospheric mixing ratios appears strongly related to solar irradiance at the ocean surface. The magnitude of this marine source is deduced from a simple 1-D model of the alkene budget in the marine boundary layer. It appears that the required source must be approximately one order of magnitude greater than the source deduced from concentration measured at 1-m depth, and consistent with probable high concentration gradients close to the ocean surface.
Synergistic Solvent Extraction and Separation of Lanthanides Using Mixtures of 1‐Phenyl‐3‐methyl‐4‐benzoyl‐pyrazol‐5‐one and Aliquat‐336: Influence of the Ammonium Salt Anion

Abstract The synergistic solvent extraction of lanthanide ions with mixtures of 1‐phenyl‐3‐methyl‐4‐benzoyl‐pyrazol‐5‐one (HP) and the quaternary ammonium salt Aliquat 336 in chloride (QCl) or perchlorate (QClO4) forms in C6H6 was studied. The composition of the extracted species was determined as Q[LnP4] (Q+ is a quaternary ammonium salt cation). The values of the equilibrium constant were calculated. The extraction mechanism as well as the effect of the quaternary ammonium salt anion (Cl− or ClO4 −) on the extraction process are discussed. The separation factors of the lanthanide ions were determined on the basis of the experimental data. Some trends in the lanthanide separation were established.
Benchmarking study: Classical Learner Modelling Approaches vs An Ontology-Based Learner Model

In the field of technology-enhanced learning environment, while some researchers have been working on the learner modelling thematic for decades, the last few years have been marked by the multiplication of challenges related to the representation and selection of relevant information on the learner. Among the significant issues that arise when setting up a learning system is the question of how to present relevant learning content that meets learner's needs, and that also takes into account the learning context information. This present work aims to provide a context-aware learner modelling approach based on ontology. The proposed model incorporates the relevant characteristics of learners plus specific information about their learning context. In this paper, we also analyzed the prevalent approaches and provided a comparative analysis of our model with the most important works in literary. In conclusion, we showed different use cases that place in evidence the integration of learning context in the learner model, and that also stipulates our proposition as more comprehensive.
Understanding the Relationship between a Small & Medium Enterprise (SME) and its Suppliers: A Case Study of a Food Industry SME Company in Kedah, Malaysia

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are aware of the need to implement proper supply chain management practices, especially to maintain good relationships with their suppliers. Previous studies indicated that a close relationship between SME owner-managers and suppliers can avail various benefits, such as operations and performance improvement, smooth delivery of goods and services to final destinations, and better negotiation of price and delivery schedule. Thus, this paper presents an understanding of the relationship between an SME in the food industry and its suppliers. By employing the Social Exchange Theory (SET) as the underlying theory, this study highlighted the importance of SMEs in managing relationships with suppliers. This study also revealed the roles that factors, such as trust, communication, commitment, and bargaining power, play in the SME-supplier relationship. By employing qualitative methodology and single case study method, this study indicated that this SME is aware that maintaining a good relationship with suppliers can lead to the survival of the business for a longer period of time, and enable them to benefit in terms of cost, quality, and services in the future. Among all factors, loyalty under the commitment factor is considered to be not unduly important to maintain the relationship with the suppliers by the SME owner-manager. However, trust and communication are the most crucial factors to maintain this relationship.
Cation Binding to DNA Studied by Ion-Transfer Voltammetry at Micropipets

Two new approaches to the study of ion binding to DNA have been developed. Both are based on measurement of ion transfer across the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions. In the first method, the cation of interest is initially present in the aqueous phase and transferred to the organic phase contained in a micropipet when its potential is made sufficiently negative. Upon addition of high-molecular-weight DNA to the aqueous phase, the concentration of free cation decreases, which results in a decrease in the ion-transfer current. The corresponding binding constant can be extracted from the dependence of normalized steady-state current vs DNA concentration without the knowledge of micropipet size, binding kinetics, or diffusion coefficient values. In the second method, the cation of interest is present in the organic phase inside the pipet and oligonucleotides (fragments of DNA) are added to the external aqueous phase. The transfer of the cation to the aqueous phase may be facilitated by t.
Primer registro del efemeróptero Vacupernius packeri en Colombia y América del Sur y descripción de la morfología de sus huevos

In the present study, we recorded for the first time the mayfly species Vacupernius packeri (Allen, 1967) in Colombia and South America describing the egg of this species. The identification was based on nymphs, subimagos, and imagos from Tolima and Caldas, Colombia. The eggs are ovalshaped, with one polar cap, and chorionic plates that are a little overlapped near the uncapped pole but absent near the capped pole. The egg has similar characteristics to the Traverhyphes group eggs, such as chorionic plates slightly overlapped and absent on the chorion surrounding the polar cap. Future phylogenetic analyses would be important to clarify the relationships between Vacupernius and the Traverhyphes group.
Estrutura de um nitossolo vermelho latossólico eutroférrico sob sistema plantio direto, preparo convencional e floresta

Structural changes caused by management systems to soil can result in compaction and may change crop root development. With the aim to evaluate the effects of the farming systems on the soil structure by qualitative (cultural profile) and quantitative (soil density) methodologies, a field study was carried out in Maringa, state of Parana, Brazil (23 o 29 ' S, 51 o 59 ' W). A conventional tillage system with crop succession of corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max) and a no-till system with crop rotation of wheat (Triticum spp.), corn (Zea mays L.), common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), black oats (Avena strigosa), and soybean (Glycine max) established for more than 20 years were evaluated. An area under natural forest near the experimental field was evaluated as reference. After the description of the cultural (soil) profile, deformed samples were collected from the homogeneous soil volumes: two samples under forest, two samples in the no-till system and three samples in the conventional system. The physical and morphologic analyses of the soil structures of the layers 0-20 and 20-40 cm showed: (a) the two different tillage system promoted distinct depths of anthropic horizons; (b) the soil structure affected root distribution; (c) soil compaction under conventional system occurred in vertical and horizontal directions (d) soil structure was best under the no-till system; (e) the cultural profile methodology is efficient in soil morphology evaluations.
Factors that Affecting Parents’ Saving for Children’s Tertiary Education

Tertiary education brings many benefits for individual, people, society and country. However, the accessibility to education is limited due to the cost. Nowadays, children need to take loan to finance their study at tertiary level and parents’ saving considered as an alternative to finance children’ education. Nevertheless, a key issues raise up now, which are do parents do saving for their future generation, how much they do saving, what are the medium of saving they use for save and what are the factors that contribute to their saving for children’s tertiary education. Therefore, this paper focuses on three main objectives. The first objective: to identify parents’ saving for children’s tertiary education, second: to identify the medium of saving for children’s tertiary education, third: to analyze the factors that contribute to the parents’ saving for children’s tertiary education. The findings indicated that 195 out of 260 parents that have children studying at tertiary level do saving for their children’s tertiary education. Besides that, own saving accounts were identified as the most popular medium of savings for parents. The result of multiple regression analysis found that the independent variables which are income, people surrounding, expectation and institutions are significant positive. Whereas, awareness are not significant with parents’ saving for children’s tertiary education. As such, to encourage saving habits, all parties should work hard together to provide some saving scheme to help parents finance their children’s education in future or financial plan to provide understanding about the important of saving.
The Perceived Influence of English Language on Islamic Identity and Value of Students Enrolled in an Islamic-Oriented Human Resource Education Programme

In Malaysia, English has been heavily emphasized in education with the main goal of proficiency in both Malay and English for all. Like any other language, English is associated with the culture of its native speakers. Hence, it may also be perceived as the carrier of Judeo-Christian values and Western cultures. This may lead to the perception that learning English is a threat to Islamic identity and values, causing rejection. Therefore, with the increasing demand for capable English speakers in the Malaysian workplace, it is imperative to identify whether students enrolled in tertiary programmes perceive the language as influential towards their identity and values as Muslims. Hence, students enrolled in an Islamic University College under the Human Resource programme tailored to inculcate Islamic values are identified as respondents for the study. The study employed a quantitative design utilising a questionnaire developed from an analysis of past literature. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA test through SPSS were utilized to answer the research questions. Overall a mean score of 1.38 (SD=.58) was an indication that the respondents have high acceptance towards the English language. The respondents also strongly disagreed that English negatively influenced their religious identity and Islamic values. It is hoped that the findings from the study provides valuable and significant insights to English language teaching. Introduction English is one of the most widely used language around the world. In many non-native speaking countries, English is spoken as a second language or used as a foreign language. Over the years, the mastery of English has become a major requirement for advancement in both education and the working sector. In Malaysia, English is taught as second language with the main goal of International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences Vol. 1 0 , No. 6, June, 2020, E-ISSN: 2222-6990 © 2020 HRMARS 508 attaining proficiency in both Malay and English for all Malaysians (Malaysian Education Blueprint). Therefore, the learning of English is definitely compulsory for every student in Malaysia. Background of the Study English, like any other language, is associated with the culture, beliefs, religion and actions of its native speakers. Being the most commonly spoken language by native and non-native speakers across the world, English brings with it a set of perceived social sentiments than goes beyond the function of communication and its role as a lingua franca. According to (Mohd-Asraf, 2005), other than giving people the advantage for educational and social advancement, English is also perceived as the carrier of Judeo-Christian values and Western cultures. This factor implicates various images, both positive and negative to the Muslims. The fact that English is associated with Christianity and Western values may influence the way the language is viewed by society in Malaysia, which comprises
Valores hematológicos de la taricaya (Podocnemis unifilis) en dos épocas del año en un parque zoológico de Iquitos, Perú

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar los valores hematológicos de la taricaya (Podocnemis unifilis) en dos estaciones del año en un parque zoológico de Iquitos, Perú. El zoológico presenta una población de 80 taricayas. En el estudio se trabajó con 30 tortugas (18 machos, 12 hembras). Las muestras de sangre fueron tomadas en invierno (febrero) y verano (julio) y se analizaron utilizando la cámara de Neubauer y el dilutor Natt & Herrick. La estación del año influyó los valores hemáticos, aumentando el número de eritrocitos y azurófilos en verano, y de linfocitos y trombocitos en invierno.
Conformational changes of butanedioic acid as a function of pH as determined from changes in vicinal proton-proton NMR couplings

Vicinal proton-proton NMR couplings have been used to estimate the changes in conformational equilibria for butanedioic acid in the progression of its diprotic to monoprotic to di-ionized forms as a function of pH, concentration, and nature of the counterion. The results support earlier conclusions that the K_1/K_2 ratio for butanedioic acid is little, if at all, affected by internal hydrogen bonding in the monoanion. Perhaps surprisingly, the conformational preferences are weak, despite the possibility of steric hindrance and strong stabilizations by hydrogen-bonding, induction, and/or electrostatic effects.
