ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL INDEX ON INDONESIAN SHARIA STOCK INDEX

This study aims to determine the influence of long-term and short-term global stock index on the Indonesian Islamic stock index. The approach used is a quantitative approach and uses the Error Correction Model (ECM) method. ECM is an analytical model that can be used in time series data to estimate the effect of independent variables on long-term and short-term use variables. The sample used was taken from secondary data, namely global stock index data consisting of the DJIA, N225 and HSI indices, and the Indonesian sharia stock index in the form of the ISSI index in the period of January 2013 to December 2017, so that 60 samples were obtained. The test results show that in the long run, the DJIA and HSI indices have a significant positive effect on the ISSI index, while the N225 index has a significant negative effect on the ISSI index. In the short term, only the DJIA index has a significant positive effect on the ISSI index.

An Exploratory Study into the Use of Audit Data Analytics on Audit Engagements

This study explores the use of audit data analytics (ADA) in current audit practice. First, we interviewed the heads of professional practice of five international public accounting firms in Norway. We find that they differ in strategies on how to implement ADA and the heads report significant uncertainty about the supervisory inspection authorities' response to the use of ADA. Second, we administered a questionnaire to 216 engagement partners and managers about their perceptions of ADA and their actual ADA use on 109 audit engagements. Overall, the attitudes toward ADA usefulness are positive. Analysis of the audit engagements suggests use of ADA is relatively limited and use of more “advanced” ADA is rare. More ADA are used for clients with integrated ERP/IT systems and for newly tendered audit engagements. We also provide details of ADA use on each phase of the audit. We discuss our findings from an institutional theory perspective. Data Availability: The data used in this study are confidential by agreement with the participants.

A Study on the Effect of Plating Layer on the Corrosion Properties of Steel/Al Dissimilar Magnetic Pulse Weldments

As weight reduction in transportation equipment becomes increasingly important to address domestic and international environmental issues, interest in lightweight metals such as aluminum and magnesium is growing, and various new materials are being used. However, the use of materials that are difficult to form and weld is increasing, requiring new approaches. One joining approach is to use electromagnetic force. Since the joining is performed in a solid state, it has the advantage of suppressing the generation of various types of compounds that may occur at the interface of the joined parts. In this study, in order to examine the corrosiveness of galvanic corrosion that can occur during dissimilar joining, electromagnetic pulse joints were fabricated using aluminum and steel materials and their corrosion properties were analyzed through corrosion tests and tensile tests. The effect of a coating layer on the corrosion resistance of the electromagnetic pulse joint was discussed.
Educar para convivir con el riesgo de inundación

In the Mediterranean region, floods are the main natural risk. This hazard has been aggravated in recent decades by the increase in exposure of the human being and is expected to increase the danger according to the forecast of climate change scenarios. For this reason, dealing with these issues in the classroom and the training of teachers on this subject should be a priority, as established in the curriculum of Primary Education (Social Sciences). The objectives of this research are: 1) To analyze the knowledge that future teachers have about the risk of flooding to develop these contents in the classroom; 2) Check the relevance that they give to this social-environmental problem; and 3) Analyze how they have been trained to face these challeng­es of teaching in Primary Education. Methodological surveys have been conducted as a case study to future teachers of Primary Education (Faculty of Teaching, University of Valencia). The results indicate that future teachers have: 1) Scarce prior knowledge in relation to flood risks; 2) A reduced perception of the importance of the vulnerability factor to mitigate the risk; and 3) Little information received about this subject in its continuous school education stage.
Modified AlexNet Convolution Neural Network For Covid-19 Detection Using Chest X-ray Images

First outbreak of COVID-19 was in the city of Wuhan in China in Dec.2019 and then it becomes a pandemic disease all around the world. World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed more than 5.5 million cases and 341,155 deaths from the disease till the time of writing this paper. This new worldwide disease forced researchers to make more precise way to diagnose COVID-19. In the last decade, medical imaging techniques show its efficiency in helping radiologists to detect and diagnose the diseases. Deep learning and transfer learning algorithms are good techniques to detect disease from different image source types such as X-Ray and CT scan images. In this work we used a deep learning technique based on Convolution Neural Network (CNN) to detect and diagnose COVID-19 disease using Chest X-ray images. Moreover, the modified AlexNet architecture is proposed in different scenarios were differing from each other in terms of the type of the pooling layers and/or the number of the neurons that have used in the second fully connected layer. The used chest X-ray images are gathered from two COVID-19 X-ray image datasets and one dataset includes large number of normal and pneumonia X-ray images. With the proposed models we obtained the same or even better result than the original AlexNet with having a smaller number of neurons in the second fully connected layer.
Utilization of Supportive Programs in the National Guard

Abstract Military service poses stressors for many service members (SMs). Accordingly, support programs exist to address these demands, but these services are often underused. This article uses data from a needs assessment survey of SMs from the Idaho and Utah Air and Army National Guard (NG; N = 997). SMs were asked if they had heard of and used available mental health or transition assistance programs. Although usage rates were low overall, our analyses supported a “target population” hypothesis. We found that increases in mental health symptoms predicted mental health program use and military deployment was associated with increased transition assistance program use. Social workers can benefit from knowledge of available yet underused military programs to assist SMs. This study also sheds light on which subpopulations of the NG are less likely to use supportive programs and may benefit from additional outreach. This information can be used as a starting point for interventions to increase support given to SMs.
Heterocyclic aromatic amines as a safety criteriа for meat and fish products

Against the background of adverse environmental conditions in Ukraine, experts in the field of medicine, food hygiene note the raising importance of various nutritional factors in increasing the risk of developing cancer. A number of compounds resulting from protein denaturation during the heat treatment of meat and fish products can pose a high risk. Such compounds include heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA) i.e. substances that, in extremely low concentrations, can carry out mutagenic and carcinogenic effects on the human body. Aim of the Research. To analyse studies from available sources of information about the likelihood and conditions of the formation of chemicals hazardous to human health in foods of animal origin during thermal cooking. Methods and Materials. Review and analysis of scientific publications based on the results of experimental studies of European, American and Japanese scientists. Results and Discussion. Studies have established that in the process of thermal cooking of food products of animal meat, poultry, fish, HAA are formed and accumulate as a result of complex multi-stage chemical reactions with the obligatory participation of amino acids, sugars, creatine and creatinine, which is its cyclic form. The formation of mutagenic HAA is affected by a number of conditions. For example, the accumulation of heterocyclic aromatic amines in fried meat products is most affected by the temperature of the surface of the pan and the outer layer of meat, the duration of frying, the degree of meat chopping, the presence of breading, pickling, the addition of onions to the chopped meat. Conclusions. Taking into account that the diet of more than 40% of the population includes products containing HAA, the development and justification of safety criteria for meat and fish products concerning the content of heterocyclic aromatic amines as well as the development of ways to prevent their formation form an urgent problem. The following tasks must be solved as priorities: – to develop and standardize methods for the determination of HAA in various types of food products; – to conduct studies of the content of HAA in meat and fish products and in culinary products; – to study the influence of various methods of thermal cooking on the accumulation of HAA in finished products made from meat and fish; – to study the effect of the raw materials used and production technologies on the accumulation of HAA in food products; – to optimize the formulae of meat and fish products and their production technologies in order to minimize the number of HAA formed in the finished product; – to justify the acceptable levels of HAA in food products and to develop safety criteria for meat and fish products concerning the content of HAA on the basis of clinical and laboratory studies. Key Words: heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA), meat products, fish products, thermal cooking, safety.
The Smart City journey: a systematic review and future research agenda

This study presents a systematic review of the literature of 84 articles and books (1997–2020) dealing with the concept and processes of Smart Cities worldwide. It identifies and analyses the three main perspectives: (a) the techno-centric perspective, (b) the humanist perspective and (c) the collaborative perspective and proposes a novel perspective thereof. It shows that, although there is still a lack of consensus on the subject, some of the definitions of Smart Cities, particularly the more comprehensive ones, seem to be moving in the right direction, in line with our perspective, bringing technology closer to people and at the same time integrating it into a new system of systemic, multi-dimensional, multi-actor and multi-level local governance in a network. Future studies could focus on analysing the results of the processes of transforming cities into Smart Cities and producing more quantitative work, given the predominance of qualitative case studies in this area.
Acute phase proteins in bitches subjected to conventional and minimally invasive ovariohysterectomy

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate and to compare the possible inflammatory changes by screening acute phase proteins concentrations in healthy bitches subjected to ovariohysterectomy. Minimally invasive and conventional (laparotomy) ovariohysterectomies were performed in 17 client-owned adult female mixed breed dogs. Nine animals were subjected to minimally invasive and eight animals to conventional ovariohysterectomy. Blood samples were taken before surgery, 24, 48 hours, and seven days postoperatively. Serum C-reactive concentration was determined by a commercial ELISA kit and serum haptoglobin concentration was measured via hemoglobin binding assay, both previously validated for use in dogs. As the data did not meet the normal distribution criteria, the nonparametric Kruskall-Wallis was performed to compare quantitative variables between groups. One-way ANOVA and the Friedman test were used for multiple comparisons between time points, with a P<0.05 considered significant. C-reactive protein concentration was significantly different (P<0.0001) at 24 hours postoperatively between groups. There was no significant difference in haptoglobin concentration between groups. C-reactive protein and haptoglobin concentrations were significantly different at 24 and 48 hours postoperatively for minimally invasive and conventional ovariohisterectomies. These findings provided an overview of the short-term inflammatory effects produced by minimally invasive and conventional ovariohysterectomies.
A decomposition algorithm for Nash equilibria in intersection management

ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a game-theoretic model, a new algorithmic framework with convergence theory, and numerical examples for the solution of intersection management problems. In our model, we consider autonomous vehicles that can communicate with each other in order to find individual optimal driving strategies through an intersection, without colliding with other vehicles. This results in coupled optimal control problems and we consider a generalized Nash equilibrium reformulation of the problem. Herein, we have individual differential equations, state and control constraints and additionally nonconvex shared constraints. To handle the nonconvexity we consider a partial penalty approach. To solve the resulting standard Nash equilibrium problem, we propose a decomposition method, where the selection of the players is controlled through penalty terms. The proposed method allows the prevention of a priori introduced hierarchies. Using dynamic programming, we prove convergence of our algorithm. Finally, we present numerical studies that show the effectiveness of the approach.

‘Suspected killer’: Tamar’s plight (Gn 38) as a lens for illuminating women’s vulnerability in the legal codes of Shona and Israelite societies

The story of Judah and Tamar in Genesis 38 is one of the most intriguing stories in the Hebrew Bible. While it yields many useful insights into the character of God, the nature of sin and the aspiration of our redemption, it is equally offensive when one looks at it from a human rights perspective, considering, in particular, the vulnerable and defenceless woman, Tamar. Her being returned to her father’s house is portrayed as acting in accordance with the law for a childless widow (Lv 22:13; Rt 1:8). However, using the critical hermeneutical lens, it becomes apparent that the real motive that drove Judah to send her away was his fear lest his only surviving son Shelah should share the fate of Er and Onan, whose deaths he plainly attributed to Tamar’s doing. As such, Tamar was deprived of the right to marry Shelah as provided for in the levirate marriage law. Using feministic hermeneutics and the comparative approach, this article foregrounds the vulnerability experienced by women, especially when their husbands mysteriously or suddenly pass away. Because of the patriarchal hegemony of African and Israelite societies, childless widows often find themselves ostracised from the same families which they thought they were now part and parcel of by virtue of having married into that family. Much of the ostracism emanates from the fact that they are usually fingered as the prime suspects responsible for having played a part in their husbands’ deaths. Hence, the crux of this article is to present the interface between the Israelite and African worldviews, highlighting the parallels between the plight of widows in the Israelite and Shona societies.
Factors Affecting Adoption of Industry 4.0 by Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises: A Case in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

The fourth industrial revolution has attracted much academic attention in these past few years. However, research on systematic and extensive factors affecting adoption of Industry 4.0 by SMEs in developing countries, especially in Vietnam, has been unavailable. This study aims to explore the impact of factors that influence the actual adoption of Industry 4.0 by SMEs in Ho Chi Minh City. Mixed-method research was utilized in this study including in-depth interviews of 12 participants and quantitative research of 396 respondents who are representative of SMEs by both online and via paper surveys. The SPSS and SmartPLS 3 software were employed to help analyze the collected data. The results indicate that perceived development of the human resource, perceived on-time, perceived saving cost, perceived improve product quality, perceived saving time, perceived ease-of-use, business resources, and conditions of the business environment, perceived usefulness, perceived enhanced customer relationship, and adoption intention, all have a positive significant effect on actual adoption of Industry 4.0. The results seem to suggest that managerial efforts aimed at increasing the factors’ perceptions of adoption of Industry 4.0 and personal relevance of the technology will contribute to implementation success, where success is defined as effectual usage of the Industry 4.0.
Compositional Modeling to Analyze the Effect of CH4 on Coupled Carbon Storage and Enhanced Oil Recovery Process

The present study is aimed at the development of compositional simulation models of the co-injection of CO2 and CH4 during the water-alternating-gas (WAG) process in order to assess the efficiency of carbon capture and storage in combination with enhanced oil recovery (CCS-EOR). The co-injection of CO2 and CH4 occupies more reservoir pore volume and causes higher reservoir pressure than CO2 WAG, thus leading to an enhanced early EOR performance. However, the overall EOR performance of the co-injection method becomes lower than that of CO2 WAG due to the reduced miscibility and sweep efficiency upon further CH4 addition. The decrease in gas displacement and sweep efficiency weaken the hysteresis effects upon the residual trapping mechanism. However, the solubility trapping mechanism takes effect because the co-injection generates higher average reservoir pressure than does the CO2 WAG. The index of global warming potential (GWP) in a mole unit is employed to quantify the carbon storage effects of CO2 and co-injection WAG cases. According to the index, 1 mole of CH4 sequestration has the same effects as that of 10 moles of CO2 for global warming mitigation. In conclusion, the carbon storage effects are enhanced as CH4 concentration in the WAG increases.
British Criminological Amnesia: Making the Case for a Black and Postcolonial Feminist Criminology

The discipline of Western criminology emerged during the colonial era as a means of controlling the ‘other’. Despite its failures in terms of recidivism these perspectives have been adopted on a global scale. Crime and punishment have been heavily influenced by these ideas and continue to reproduce them in relation to problematic, and pathologising, discourses such as the UK gang agenda which positions young black men as naturally aggressive, sexual predators and innately criminal. How criminologists carry out research also demands attention through a decolonial lens. A move towards a British postcolonial criminology has received scant attention despite there being a range of global literature which calls for changes to be made to the roots of the discipline. Similarly, feminist criminology in Britain has barely been touched by ideas of black and postcolonial feminisms. Consequently, drawing on what has written to further the cause of a black feminist criminology (BFC), this paper argues for the adoption of a black and postcolonial feminist criminology (BPFC) in the UK whereby issues of race, intersectionality and decolonial baggage are central to how we understand crime.
