The Effect of Ownership Structure and Leverage Towards Dividend Policy and Corporate Values

Every company (particularly the company's shareholders) always expects to have high company value. Various mechanisms are used by company ma nagers to create corporate value. The mechanism can be through the structure of ownership, leverage, and dividend policy. Previous studies that have discussed the effect of ownership structure and leverage variables on dividend policy and corporate value p rovide different research results. This study aims to obtain empirical evidence of the effect of ownership structure and leverage on dividend policy and firm value, on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the 2012 - 2016 period. The population of this study is all manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange that provide periodic financial statements from 2012 to 2016 (145 companies). The population that met the criteria to sampled was 28 companies. The research method used in this research is Warp - PLS. The results showed as follows: (1) The effect of ownership structure on dividend policy was negative and not significant; (2) The effect of ownership structure on firm value was negative and significant; (3) The l everage on dividend policy was negative and significant; (4) The leverage on the company value was negative and weak significant correlation; (5) The effect of the dividend policy on corporate value was negative and weak significant correlation.
An online critical thinking course reduces misconceptions in the knowledge of personal trainers

ABSTRACT Personal trainers are a popular source of exercise guidance for the public but have been shown to have fundamental errors in their knowledge, and hold misconceptions about some exercise and nutritional concepts. Critical thinking skills have been found to relate inversely to misconceptions in other populations but this has not been examined in personal trainers. This study assessed the impact of an online, domain-specific, critical thinking course on the misconceptions and critical thinking ability (CTA) of personal trainers. One hundred and twenty-five participants were recruited into a randomised control trial. Participants completed measures of knowledge, misconceptions, CTA, and their use and perceived trustworthiness of sources of information about exercise and nutrition, then were allocated to either an intervention or control group. The intervention group completed the course over six weeks, while the control group waited six weeks before being surveyed again. Participants showed reduced endorsement of misconceptions and increased trust in reliable sources after completing the intervention. CTA improved in both the intervention and control groups. These results provide evidence that targeting critical thinking skills tailored to relevant content may contribute positively to the professional development of personal trainers.
Characterisation of a novel gene with a potential role in the Fanconi anaemia tumour suppressor pathway

PFAP (putative Fanconi Anaemia protein) is a novel uncharacterised protein, whose functions till date remains elusive. According to unpublished results from our laboratory, cells lacking PFAP resemble loss of phenotypes as seen with cells lacking known Fanconi anaemia proteins. Fanconi anaemia proteins are important in the repair of inter-strand crosslinks (ICLs) and the maintenance of genome instability. Based on two reports, there is a possibility of PFAP playing a key role in regulating histone lysine methylation, via its interaction with the SET/COMPASS like histone methyltransferases SET1A/SET1B. Independent study has shown that PFAP interacts with SET1B. However, unpublished studies carried out by our laboratory have suggested that PFAP interacts with SET1A. Therefore, we wished to investigate these interactions in further detail. In this study, we demonstrated that PFAP interacts with SET1A histone methyltransferase, but not SET1B. In addition, we studied localisation of SET1A to the sites of ICL repair sites. Immunofluorescence staining reveals that FLAG-tagged SET1A and RAD51 each localises to a largely non-overlapping regions of nucleus, suggesting that both FLAG-SET1A and RAD51 has distinct functions in ICL repair. Finally, we demonstrated that some Fanconi anaemia protein interacts with PFAP, thus indicating that PFAP is involved in FA pathway.
A simplified method for evaluating sloshing impact pressure on a flat roof based on Wagner’s theory

In sodium-cooled fast reactors, free liquid surfaces are found in several important components, including reactor vessels; sloshing due to earthquakes is one of the major concerns in design. Especially in cases where seismic isolation systems are installed to prevent or reduce damages to facilities due to earthquakes, periods of vibration are lengthened and become close to natural sloshing periods. As a result, sloshing is more likely to occur. In severe seismic conditions, sloshing waves are considered to even reach a roof slab of a reactor vessel. The structural integrity of roof slabs is required to be evaluated against sloshing impacts. However, there is no widely recognized evaluation method for sloshing impact pressure on flat roofs yet. Therefore, in this paper, a simplified evaluation method is proposed based on Wagner’s theory, which is a well-known classic theory for evaluating impact pressures on rigid wedges dropping on water surfaces. In the proposed method, we assume an equivalent wedge on a flat roof. The impact pressure on the equivalent wedge is evaluated by applying Wagner’s theory. Computational fluid dynamics analysis is conducted to confirm that a key assumption of Wagner’s theory is applicable to the evaluation of sloshing impact on a flat roof. In addition, the predictability of the proposed method is investigated by comparing literature data of sloshing experiments with the estimated values.

Effect of Reynold Number and Angle of Attack on the Hydrodynamic Forces Generated from A Bionic Concave Pectoral Fins

The pectoral fin shape, diameter and speed are the three main parameters for our robotic fish design. The influence of geometrical shape of pectoral fin in labriform mode swimming mechanism is evaluated with the aid of CFD method which is considered as a first step before building the complete design prototype. Two concave shape fins were designed precisely, each of them was attached to a servo motor arm which is in turn connected to a servo motor that is sliding on pair of shafts to work as robot straighter. The two servo motors along with their pectoral fins are placed in lm × 0.5m × 0.5m pool. Different number of angles of attack were tested and the results showed the optimum value is 50°. Further analysis based on Reynold number and its effect on the drag coefficient was investigated carefully. The hydrodynamic forces will be increases with the increasing of angle of attack for all Reynold numbers, which will in turn speed up the overall velocity of the body.
Intermediate pyrolysis studies of aquatic biomass and potential applications in the BtVB-process

Aquatic biomass is seen as one of the major feedstocks to overcome difficulties associated with 1st generation biofuels, such as competition with food production, change of land use and further environmental issues. Although, this finding is widely accepted only little work has been carried out to investigate thermo-chemical conversion of algal specimen to produce biofuels, power and heat. This work aims at contributing fundamental knowledge for thermo-chemical processing of aquatic biomass via intermediate pyrolysis. Therefore, it was necessary to install and commission an analytical pyrolysis apparatus which facilitates intermediate pyrolysis process conditions as well as subsequent separation and detection of pyrolysates (Py- GC/MS). In addition, a methodology was established to analyse aquatic biomass under intermediate conditions by Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). Several microalgae (e.g. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Chlorella vulgaris) and macroalgae specimen (e.g. Fucus vesiculosus) from main algal divisions and various natural habitats (fresh and saline water, temperate and polar climates) were chosen and their thermal degradation under intermediate pyrolysis conditions was studied. In addition, it was of interest to examine the contribution of biochemical constituents of algal biomass onto the chemical compounds contained in pyrolysates. Therefore, lipid and protein fractions were extracted from microalgae biomass and analysed separately. Furthermore, investigations of residual algal materials obtained by extraction of high valuable compounds (e.g. lipids, proteins, enzymes) were included to evaluate their potential for intermediate pyrolysis processing. On basis of these thermal degradation studies, possible applications of algal biomass and from there derived materials in the Bio-thermal Valorisation of Biomass-process (BtVB-process) are presented. It was of interest to evaluate the combination of the production of high valuable products and bioenergy generation derived by micro- and macro algal biomass.
The role of brachyury in the pathogenesis of chordoma

Chordoma is a rare malignant tumour of bone, the molecular marker of which is the expression of the transcription factor T (also referred to as brachyury). Silencing of T induces growth arrest in chordoma cell lines; however its downstream genomic targets are unknown. In this thesis I have identified these targets with validation in human chordoma samples. This was achieved by using an integrated functional genomics approach involving shRNA-mediated brachyury knockdown, gene expression microarray, ChIP-seq experiments and bioinformatics analyses. The results show that T regulates a downstream network that involves key cell cycle related genes amongst other potential oncogenic programmes. This is the first documentation of genomic T targets in humans and provides a molecular insight into the pathogenesis of chordoma. In a separate but related piece of work, a genetic association study was conducted to determine the genetic susceptibility determinants in patients with sporadic chordomas. Whole-exome and Sanger sequencing of T exons revealed a strong risk association with the common non-synonymous SNP rs2305089 in chordoma. The degree of risk imparted by this variant is large and is an exceptional finding in cancer genetics. Overall the work presented in this thesis contributes to the evolving understanding of T’s role in the pathogenesis of this rare bone cancer.
A review on the importance of genotyping and phenotyping in fluoropyrimidine treatment

Fluoropyrimidines, after more than 50 years from their discovery, are still the treatment of many types of cancer, and it is estimated that two million patients receive fluoropyrimidine therapy annually. The toxicity associated with fluoropyrimidines affects 30–40% of patients and some adverse effects can be lethal. Dihydroypyrimidine dehydrogenase is the main enzyme in the catabolism of 5-FU and DPD activity deficiency can cause important toxicity. This is an important reason to determine DPD activity in order to improve patient safety and to limit potential life-threating toxicity. At presentmultiple phenotypic and genotypic methods are available for the determination of DPD activity, some of these methods have proven their usefulness in practice, and yet they are not routinely recommended in clinical practice. This review is another statement of the importance of the determination of DPD status, the phenotypic and genotypic methods that are available and can be used.

From social movements to institutionalization: The Five-star Movement and the high-speed train line in Val di Susa

ABSTRACT The article is dedicated to the analysis of the events of 2019 concerning the realization of the high-speed railway line linking Turin and Lyon (Treno ad alta velocità, Tav), an infrastructure project that has always been a crucial issue for the Movimento 5 stelle (Five-star Movement, M5s). Given the importance of environmental issues to the M5s, the party has always paid considerable attention to the Tav issue, and it supported the movement against the construction of the railway (the ‘No Tav’ Movement, Mnt). Over time, the M5s became the only political actor at national level willing to champion the ‘No Tav’ cause. Nevertheless, it ended up as part of a government that gave the final go-ahead to the project. The aim of this article is to consider the Tav question as a litmus test of the evolution and transformation of the M5s from a protest movement into a party of government. The first section discusses the relationship between the M5s and the ‘No Tav’ Movement, and the reasons for the proximity between the two. In the second section, we consider the changes that took place within the M5s, when it entered government. In the third section, we trace the most significant events of 2019 concerning the Tav. Finally, we show how the Tav issue has been one of a number of ‘reality tests’ which the Movement has had to face during its time in government, and discuss its relevance for the literature on new parties and populist parties in government.
PERSEPSI KONSUMEN TERHADAP PENGGUNAAN DOMPET DIGITAL

Revolusi Industri 4.0 ditandai dengan adanya digitalisasi hampir seluruh sektor perekonomian, tidak terkecuali sektor keuangan ( fintech ). Salah satu produk fintech adalah dompet digital. Kontribusi dompet digital terhadap PDB diprediksi meningkat setiap tahun. Penggunaan dompet digital juga turut mendukung Target 8.10 Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan. Saat ini, di Jabodetabek mulai marak penggunaan dompet digital sejalan dengan munculnya beragam jenis dompet digital. Hasil pengumpulan data melalui online invitation survey menunjukkan sekitar 7 dari 10 responden usia 15 tahun ke atas di Jabodetabek menggunakan dompet digital. Kalangan muda, bekerja, dan berpendidikan tinggi mendominasi karakter pengguna dompet digital. Responden memiliki rata-rata 2 sampai 3 dompet digital dengan tujuan penggunaan yang bervariasi. Alasan utama menggunakan dompet digital adalah karena promosi yang diberikan apabila transaksi pembayaran dilakukan melalui dompet digital. Persepsi konsumen terhadap kenyamanan transaksi dompet digital memengaruhi keputusan mereka untuk menggunakan dompet digital. Namun, keyakinan bahwa transaksi pembayaran dengan dompet digital lebih cepat dan aman dibandingkan metode pembayaran lainnya tidak berpengaruh terhadap penggunaan dompet digital. Responden yang tidak menggunakan dompet digital, selain karena ketidaktahuan, cenderung berada pada lingkungan sosial yang tidak mendukung penggunaan dompet digital.
The Effect Of Geographic Diversification, Competition Level, And Corporate Governance On Risk Disclosure

This study aims to examine the effect of geographic diversification, competition level, and corporate governance on risk disclosure. The method employed in this study is quantitative methods. The sample used in this research is manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The type of data used in this study is secondary data in the form of financial statements and annual reports from 2012 to 2016. The sample selection using a purposive sampling method with the number of samples amounted to 395 samples. This study suggests that geographic diversification and competition level are not associated with risk disclosure. The number of factories and operational offices, which are measures of geographical diversification, do not make companies disclose higher risks. While competition level does not capture the level of risk disclosure conducted by the company. Furthermore, corporate governance is positively associated with risk disclosure. Corporate governance is essential to boost management to disclose risk to stakeholders.
Field establishment of fourwing saltbush in processed oil shale and disturbed native soil as influenced by vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae

Seedlings of fourwing saltbush (Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt. ) were inoculated with indigenous vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi in a containerized system and transplanted into processed oil shale and disturbed native soil in a semiarid rangeland environment in northwestern Colorado. After two growing seasons in the field, plants inoculated with VAM had greater aboveground biomass, cover, and height than noninoculated plants. Mycorrhizal plants were more effective in the uptake of water and phosphorus. Infection levels of inoculated plants were greatly reduced in processed shale (from 13.0 at outplanting to 3.8 at harvest), but functional VAM associations could be found after two growing seasons. Results indicate that VAM help make processed oil shale a more tractable medium for the establishment of plants representative of later successional stages by allowing these plants to make effective use of the natural resources that are limiting under conditions of high stress. 39 references, 1 figure.

A new precision–fed chick assay for determining true metabolizable energy values of some poultry feed ingredients for broiler chickens.

Two experiments were conducted to determine: first, the best time of excreta collection after force feeding of broilers to yield the maximal amount of excreta, and second, nitrogen-corrected true metabolizable energy contents of some poultry feedstuffs including yellow corn, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, canola meal and poultry by-product meal by a new precision-fed chick assay using 3-week-old broiler chicks. In experiment one, thirty-five 21-d-old male broiler chicks, with the same body weight were randomly assigned in to 7 experimental groups with 5 birds per each. Seven experimental treatments were designed with different excreta collection times. All chicks were precision-fed with 10 g of corn-soybean meal (60:40) mixture. Excreta were collected at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 h after precision feeding. In experiment two, thirty 21-d old male broiler chicks with 5 chicks per each feed ingredients were precision-fed by 10 g of experimental feedstuffs and 5 chicks fasted for determining endogenous energy losses. The maximum time of excreta collection for 3-week-old male broiler chicks was approximately 12 h after precision feeding. The average nitrogen-corrected true metabolizable energy values of yellow corn, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, canola meal and poultry by-product meal, were 3527.55, 2572.4, 4183.25, 1806.38 and 2678.06 kcal/kg, respectively. In conclusion, nitrogen-corrected true metabolizable energy values of feedstuffs can be determined in 3-week-old broiler chicks by using a precision-fed assay. This research suggests using energy values obtained on young broiler chicks in formulating diets for the same birds.
