Analysis of the Effect of Intellectual Capital on Financial Performance, Revenue Growth, and Value of Manufacturing Companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange 2016-2019

The concept of intellectual capital has a goal that leads to the control and management of the company (Mouritsen et al., 2001) with the perspective of improving organizational performance, creating a competitive advantage of the company (Khalique et al., 2011) which can differentiate itself from competitors in today's modern economic era (Bhasin, 2008) which also leads to long-term profits (Jordão & de Almeida, 2017). The measurement of the impact of intellectual capital management that is most widely used is developed by (Pulic, 1998), VAICTM (Value Added Intellectual Coefficient) to measure the extent to which the company generates an added value based on the efficiency of intellectual capital that is supported and influenced by the relationship between value-added to physical capital, human capital and structural capital. This research is causal research that aims to analyze the causal relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. The independent variable in this study is intellectual capital as measured by the Value-Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAICTM) which is the sum of three influential resources, namely Value-Added Human Capital (VAHU), Value Added Capital Employee (VACA), and Structural Capital Value Added (STVA). The dependent variable in this study is the company's performance as measured by Return on Assets (ROA), company growth is measured by Growth Revenue, and company value is measured by Tobin's Q. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that intellectual capital has no significant positive effect on the company's financial performance. manufacturing on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2016-2019, because the manufacturing industry is included in the category of low-IC intensive industries (not dense intellectual capital) where operational activities are still dominated by the use of many fixed assets compared to intellectual capital and initial management of intellectual capital which is still considered as costs and have not shown results that affect the company's financial performance.
A PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS IN BOSS AND SECRETARY RELATIONSHIP AT BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS

The study centered on recognizing the major instincts/factors that persuade a solid relationship between a Boss and Secretary within the working environment. The populace of the think about comprised of 60 secretarial staff. There was no test, drawn from the consideration, the total populace was utilized. Four inquire-about questions were defined which guided the consider. There was no speculation, A 21- Thing organized survey was created, validated, and tried for its unwavering quality. Rates and frequencies were utilized to reply to the investigate questions. The major discoveries of the investigation were: 1. Partnering with a boss or deputizing a boss in the workplace inspires or fosters a stronger instinct between the boss and secretary. 2. The secretary's part in managing her boss's daily tasks strengthens their bond. 3. The tactfulness of a secretary and the way he/she psychologies callers and upsets people improves their friendly relationship. 4. The secretary's instincts for arranging or fulfilling his or her boss's or executives' goals are quite important. It was determined that certain secretaries have numerous issues, such as a lack of job satisfaction, motivation, and satisfaction, and that they are excluded in management decision-making. There isn't enough current technology in the office. Secretaries who are resourceful in their ability to implement mature judgment are valued by their bosses. It was suggested that secretaries who are skilled in demonstrating their abilities be considered. Bosses, on the other hand, should hire communicative secretaries and possessing a pleasant manner, being polite and tactful, arriving on time to duty positions, and engaging in psychology activities. All of these things contribute to a healthy and pleasant relationship between the boss and the secretary.
Managers’ Attitudes to Different Action Proposals in the Direction to Extended Working Life: A Cross-Sectional Study

In many countries, the retirement age is postponed due to the global demographic change, and a larger amount of older people need to participate in working life. However, how and what measures and action proposals that could extend and increase employees’ voluntary and sustainable participation in working life have not entirely been investigated. The employer is responsible for enabling employees’ access to measures that facilitate participation in the workplace, for enabling employability and a sustainable extended working life. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate Swedish managers’ attitude to action proposals that could increase employees’ participation in an extended working life. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate associations between different univariate estimates and in data modelling. The nine determinate areas of the swAge model, for a sustainable working life and employability, was used as analysis model, i.e., self-rated health and diagnoses; physical work environment; mental work environment; work schedule, work pace and time for recuperation; financial incentives; personal social environment; social work environment; stimulation, motivation and self-crediting through work tasks; and competence, skills and knowledge development. The results stated decreased physical work demands to be the final measure in the multivariate modelling associated to whether the managers believe their employees ‘can work’ until age 65 and older, however, changing work tasks in the workplace when needed, rotation between different work tasks to decrease physical as well as mental workload and strain, and decreased mental work demands proved to be statistically significant in the univariate estimates. The strongest measure activity in the organisations, associated to managers believing their employees ‘want to work’ until age 65 and older in the multivariate modelling, was decreased work pace, however, increased time for recuperation between work shifts also proved to be statistically significant in the univariate estimate. The management’s perspectives on measures and action proposals associated to whether employees ‘can’ and ‘want’ to work will hopefully contribute to an increased understanding in society and the organisational process of creating a sustainable extended working life.
Impact of Technology Learning and Innovation Mindfulness on the Information Technology Dynamic Capabilities of the Firm

The concept and nature of the concept of organizational Absorptive Capacity has generated much research in the Strategic Management, Organizational, and Information Systems literature.

Bacterial Biofilm Formation on Nano-Copper Added PLA Suited for 3D Printed Face Masks

The COVID-19 Pandemic leads to an increased worldwide demand for personal protection equipment in the medical field, such as face masks. New approaches to satisfy this demand have been developed, and one example is the use of 3D printing face masks. The reusable 3D printed mask may also have a positive effect on the environment due to decreased littering. However, the microbial load on the 3D printed objects is often disregarded. Here we analyze the biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli on suspected antimicrobial Plactive™ PLA 3D printing filaments and non-antimicrobial Giantarm™ PLA. To characterize the biofilm-forming potential scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Confocal scanning electron microscopy (CLSM) and colony-forming unit assays (CFU) were performed. Attached cells could be observed on all tested 3D printing materials. Gram-negative strains P. aeruginosa and E. coli reveal a strong uniform growth independent of the tested 3D filament (for P. aeruginosa even with stressed induced growth reaction by Plactive™). Only Gram-positive S. aureus shows strong growth reduction on Plactive™. These results suggest that the postulated antimicrobial Plactive™ PLA does not affect Gram-negative bacteria species. These results indicate that reusable masks, while better for our environment, may pose another health risk.
Genome-Wide Analysis of LBD Transcription Factor Genes in Dendrobium catenatum

The LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN (LBD) gene family comprises plant-specific transcription factors that control cell proliferation and differentiation during growth and development in many plant species. However, to date, no studies of the LBD gene family in Dendrobium catenatum have been reported. In this study, a genome-wide analysis of LBD genes was performed in D. catenatum and 24 LBD genes were identified. The genes were classified into two classes (I and II) based on phylogenetic relationships and motif structure. Subcellular localization analysis for DcaLBD6 and DcaLBD18 from class I and DcaLBD37 and DcaLBD41 from class II revealed that the proteins were localized in the nucleus. Transient expression analysis of DcaLBD6, DcaLBD18, DcaLBD37, and DcaLBD41 indicated that class I and class II members have opposite roles in regulating VASCULAR-RELATED NAC-DOMAIN 7 (VND7) expression. DcaLBD genes showed diverse expression patterns in response to different phytohormone treatments. Heat maps revealed diverse patterns of DcaLBD gene expression in different organs. These results lay the foundation for further detailed studies of the LBD gene family in D. catenatum.
A CuNi-Loaded Porous Magnetic Soft Material: Preparation, Characterization and Magnetic Field-Controlled Modulus

Novel porous magnetic soft materials (pMSMs) based on a poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) porous matrix filled with CuNi nanoparticles (NPs) of around 70 nm were synthesized. Initially, magnetic CuNi NPs were fabricated by the reduction of Ni and Cu ions with hydrazine hydrate in ethylene glycol medium in the absence of other capping agents. The pMSMs are subsequently fabricated by mixing CuNi NPs and PVA through freezing-drying process. The as-obtained pMSMs can respond to a magnetic field, i.e., the compressive modulus increase under a magnetic field of 0.23 T. The experimental results indicate that CuNi NPs can easily move to form chain-like structures under the application of a magnetic field. A combination of direct observation and finite element modeling has shown that under the influence of a magnetic field, chain-like aggregates of CuNi NPs lead to self-reinforcement of the pMSMs and, thus, to the increased compressive modulus. From a technological point of view, these materials with good magnetic responsiveness and moderate mechanical strength have potential applications in artificial muscle, soft actuators and drug release, to name a few.
Nitrogen Excretion by Dairy Cows Grazing Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) Based Pastures during the Lactating Season

Simple Summary Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) has emerged as a forage with the ability to reduce nitrogen (N) losses, in particular N leaching, from grazing dairy systems. For farmers to confidently incorporate plantain into their farms, research needs to demonstrate that these environmental benefits sustain similar production and farm profit than traditional ryegrass (Lolium perenne)–white clover (Trifolium repens, wc)-based pasture. The effect of changing the cows’ diet to plantain-based pastures was evaluated over two lactation seasons in comparison to ryegrass–wc pastures. Cows grazing plantain-based pastures produced the same milk solids production, but a urine with a lower N concentration when compared to ryegrass–wc pastures. Plantain reduced the urinary N loads from individual urine patches via higher urine volume and reduced the total N loading onto pastures via a lower urinary N excretion to mitigate the N leaching losses from grazed pastures. Plantain pastures could be employed by farmers to reduce the nitrate leaching from dairy farms. Abstract The use of plantain pasture in dairy systems can potentially reduce nitrogen (N) leaching losses via the lower N concentration in the urine (UNc) of cows. Reducing the urinary N load while cows graze pastures can reduce the risk of N leaching losses from urine patches. Research needs to demonstrate that these environmental benefits are not at the expense of milk production and farm profit. Three groups of 20 cows grazed in the following three pasture treatments: (i) plantain, (ii) plantain–clover mix (plantain, red [Trifolium pratense] and white clover), or (iii) ryegrass-white clover (wc) pastures, from spring to autumn for two years. Each year, pasture intake, diet quality, milk production and animal N (milk and urine) excretion were evaluated in spring, summer, and autumn. The cows grazing the plantain and plantain–clover mix pastures produced similar milk solids as cows grazing ryegrass–wc pasture but reduced their UNc during summer and autumn, when compared to those grazing the plantain–clover mix and ryegrass–wc pastures. Plantain reduced urinary N loads onto pastures by a greater number of urine patches with lower urinary N loading rates. The results demonstrate that plantain pastures do not diminish milk solids production from cows, and the lower UNc from summer to autumn could reduce N being lost to the environment.
Trend of Galectin-3 Levels in Patients with Non-ST-Elevation and ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Background and Objectives: Given the fact that galectin-3 has a predictive significance on the development of myocardial dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction, the aim of our study was to examine potential factors that could be important for the dynamics of the concentration of this biomarker in the early postinfarction period. Materials and Methods: This study included 89 patients with a diagnosis of stable angina pectoris (SAP) or the first non-ST elevation (NSTEMI) or ST-elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction, who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The study group included 23 patients with the first NSTEMI and 42 patients with STEMI, while the control group consisted of 24 patients with SAP hospitalized for elective PCI without a previous MI. All patients had preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Galectin-3 levels were determined on days 1, 5, and 30 after PCI. The significance of various independent variables as predictors of galectin-3 concentration was analyzed after a series of univariate linear regression modeling in a multivariate linear regression model. Results: The average patients’ age was 63.99 ± 9.13 years. Statistically significantly higher values of C-reactive protein were established in STEMI compared to SAP (p < 0.01) or NSTEMI (p < 0.001), whereas WBC count was significantly lower in SAP than in STEMI (p < 0.001) and NSTEMI (p < 0.01) group. Although there were no statistically significant differences in measured galectin-3 concentrations between the examined groups on days 1, 5, and 30 after PCI, HTA, triglyceride level, LA size, treatment with trimetazidine and long-acting nitrates, as well as percentage of LM stenosis and E/A ratio were identified as independent predictors of galectin-3 concentration. Conclusions: In the post-MI period, very early values of galectin-3 correlate mostly with atherosclerosis factors, while on day 30 this biomarker correlates with diastolic dysfunction and “announces” left ventricular remodeling.
Key practices and impact factors of corporate social responsibility implementation: Evidence from construction firms

PurposeThe ability of construction firms to become more environmentally conscious and socially responsible for their business activities has been touted as the key driver for improved individual firms' competitiveness. This study explores the key dimensions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices and their impact factors among construction firms.Design/methodology/approachThrough the institutional, stakeholders and self-determination theories, this study proposed a conceptual framework of CSR implementation. For its validation, data were collected from 90 top-tier construction firms using an online survey and analyzed via a two-pronged factor analysis method.FindingsThe empirical results demonstrate that the CSR practices of construction firms include eight key dimensions, e.g. shareholders' interests, government commitment and CSR institutional arrangement. The three key groups of impact factor of CSR implementation are (1) identified factors (i.e. contractors' perceived importance of CSR practices); (2) external institutional factors (i.e. coercive and normative factors and mimetic factors); and (3) intrinsic factors (i.e. strategic business direction, resource and capability and organizational culture). Practical implicationsThe research findings inform the practitioners about how to enact, manage and improve firms' socially responsible goals so as to fulfill their key stakeholders' requirements and expectations and thus enhance their legitimacy in construction businesses.Originality/valueThis study contributes to CSR knowledge by identifying and empirically demonstrating valid measurements of the key dimensions of practices and impact factors toward CSR implementation by construction firms.
In-Silico Analysis of Monoclonal Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron

Omicron was designated by the WHO as a VOC on 26 November 2021, only 4 days after its sequence was first submitted. However, the impact of Omicron on current antibodies and vaccines remains unknown and evaluations are still a few weeks away. We analysed the mutations in the Omicron variant against epitopes. In our database, 132 epitopes of the 120 antibodies are classified into five groups, namely NTD, RBD-1, RBD-2, RBD-3, and RBD-4. The Omicron mutations impact all epitopes in NTD, RBD-1, RBD-2, and RBD-3, with no antibody epitopes spared by these mutations. Only four out of 120 antibodies may confer full resistance to mutations in the Omicron spike, since all antibodies in these three groups contain one or more epitopes that are affected by these mutations. Of all antibodies under EUA, the neutralisation potential of Etesevimab, Bamlanivimab, Casirivimab, Imdevima, Cilgavimab, Tixagevimab, Sotrovimab, and Regdanvimab might be dampened to varying degrees. Our analysis suggests the impact of Omicron on current therapeutic antibodies by the Omicron spike mutations may also apply to current COVID-19 vaccines.
Personal protection equipment for orthopaedic and trauma surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic: The results of an EFORT survey initiative

Orthopaedic and trauma surgeons performing surgery in the COVID-19 pandemic environment faced problems with availability, use, rationing, modification, compliance and recycling of personal protection equipment (PPE). Orthopaedic and trauma surgeons were not well informed concerning the use of PPE for aerosol-generating orthopaedic and trauma procedures. Scientific bodies, health authorities and management have provided insufficient guidelines for the use of PPE in aerosol-generating orthopaedic and trauma procedures. The availability of specific PPE for orthopaedic and trauma operating theatres is low. Hospital management and surgeons failed to address the quality of operating theatre ventilation or to conform to recommendations and guidelines. Operating theatre PPE negatively affected surgical performance by means of impaired vision, impaired communication, discomfort and fatigue. Existing PPE is not adequately designed for orthopaedic and trauma surgery, and therefore, novel or modified and improved devices are needed.
Professional development through reflective practice: The case of Addis Ababa secondary school EFL in-service teachers

Abstract The purpose of this research was to examine the reflective practice skills and attitudes that were used by EFL teachers in their professional learning. This study followed a convergent parallel mixed-methods research design. The qualitative data was analyzed first by locating the practice indicators to assess reflective practice. Six indicators were in the teachers’ narratives. Next, both data strands were merged to be discussed together, and three themes were generated from the views of the teachers that were related to some of the reflective teaching skills and attitudes covered in the survey scale. The quantitative data findings showed that EFL in-service teachers believed they often used a considerable number of reflective teaching skills and attitudes during the learning-teaching process. In the qualitative data findings, the teachers’ narratives indicated that they were not engaged in reflective teaching at all, and they held the attitudes of pre-reflection level. This study implies that teacher education and training programs should be budgeted to offer training for teacher educators, mentors, and school principals and provide support for secondary schools. In addition, the professional development staff should provide in-service teachers with professional training about reflective practice and work with the school leaders to produce a culture of inquiry in their schools. The study suggests teachers must give more attention to practical, continued, and open-ended learning engagements that will facilitate reflective learning practices that are very useful for coping with the dynamic and complex nature of the teaching profession.
