Pengaruh Profitabilitas, Size, Leverage, Komite Audit, Komisaris Independen dan Umur Perusahaan terhadap Tax Avoidance

In general, entrepreneurs always maximize profits. One way to maximize profits by avoiding paying taxes. Tax avoidance is a means of exploiting legal loopholes so that employers do not pay tax or pay tax but are very small. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of profitability, size, leverage, audit committee, independent commissioners and company age on tax avoidance. This type of research is quantitative research. The sampling method uses a purposive sampling method, so as many as 30 property and real estate companies are listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI) in 2016-2018. The data used in this research is secondary data. Data analysis method used is multiple regression analysis. The result of this study indicate that the variable profitability, audit committee, independent commissioner has no effect on tax avoidance. While the variable size, leverage, and age of the company affect the tax avoidance.
Blind Image Watermarking in Canonical and Cepstrum Domains Based on 4-Connected t-o'clock Scrambling

Copyright protection of multimedia content is confronted with great challenges such as easy access to the Internet. Digital watermarking is widely applicable technique for copyright protection of multimedia contents. In this paper, a blind symmetric watermarking method in canonical and cepstrum domains based on four-connected t-o’clock scrambling is proposed. Initially, the watermark image is scrambled using the four-connected t-o’clock method to enhance the security. Then, the rotation operation is applied to the host image to extract the region where the watermark bits are embedded. After that, discrete linear canonical transform (DLCT) is applied to the extracted region to obtain the DLCT region. Cepstrum transform (CT) is performed on DLCT region to attain CT region. The CT region is then divided into non-overlapping blocks. The watermark bits are inserted into each block using max-heap and min-heap tree property. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed method shows high robustness against numerous attacks. Moreover, it produces high quality watermarked images and provides high security. Furthermore, it has superior performance to recent methods in terms of imperceptibility, robustness, and security.
Social Complexity, Inner Asia, and Pastoral Nomadism

For many years scholars have interpreted the large polities of pastoral nomads of Inner Asia as having different levels of complexity (pre-state, early state, feudal society, nomadic civilization, etc.). The present article discusses the debates of recent decades within the post-Marxist and postmodern approaches as well as the polemics about the relation between internal and external factors, about the hierarchy and heterarchy, periodization and complexity levels. Many important issues give rise to a new wave of debates. However, there is still no consensus on a number of fundamental issues. We call to a new phase in nomadic studies (nomadology) – the transition from the great theories to the middle-range theories. We also give comments on some articles of the present special section.
Decay of turbulent wakes behind a disk in homogeneous and stratified fluids

Body-inclusive large-eddy simulations of disk wakes are performed for a homogeneous fluid and for different levels of stratification. The Reynolds number is 5 × 104 and the Froude number ($Fr$) takes the values of $\infty$, 50, 10 and 2. In the axisymmetric wake of a disk with diameter $L_{b}$ in a homogeneous fluid, it is found that the mean streamwise velocity deficit ($U_{0}$) decays in two stages: $U_{0}\propto x^{-0.9}$ during $10<x/L_{b}<65$ and, subsequently, $U_{0}\propto x^{-2/3}$. Consequently, none of the simulated stratified wakes is able to exhibit the classical 2/3 decay exponent of $U_{0}$ in the interval before buoyancy effects set in. Stratification affects the wake within approximately one buoyancy time scale, after which, we find three regimes: weakly stratified turbulence (WST), intermediately stratified turbulence (IST) and strongly stratified turbulence (SST). WST begins when the turbulent Froude number ($Fr_{h}$) decreases to $O(1)$, spans $1\lesssim Nt_{b}\lesssim 5$ and, while the mean flow is strongly affected by buoyancy in WST, turbulence is not. During IST, which commences at $Nt_{b}\approx 5$ when $Fr_{h}=O(0.1)$, the mean flow has arrived into the non-equilibrium (NEQ) regime with $U_{0}\propto x^{-0.18}$, but the turbulence state is still in transition, as indicated by progressively increasing turbulence anisotropy. When $Fr_{h}\sim O(0.01)$ at $Nt_{b}\approx 20$, the wake transitions into SST, where the turbulent vertical Froude number ($Fr_{v}$) asymptotes to a $O(1)$ constant. There is strong anisotropy ($u_{z}^{\prime }\ll u_{h}^{\prime }$), and both $u_{h}^{\prime }$ and $U_{0}$ satisfy $x^{-0.18}$ decay, signifying the arrival of the NEQ regime for both turbulence and mean flow. Turbulence is patchy and temporal spectra are broadband in the SST wake. The wake height decreases as $L_{V}\sim O(U_{0}/N)$ in IST/SST. Energy budgets reveal that stratification prolongs wake life during WST/early-IST by both an energy transfer from mean potential energy to mean kinetic energy and reduction of turbulent production. In the late-IST/early-SST stages, production is enhanced and, additionally, there is injection from turbulent potential energy slowing down turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) decay. Only in the SST stage, when NEQ is realized for both the mean and turbulence, does the turbulent buoyancy flux become negative again, acting as a sink of TKE.

The influence of transformational and authentic leadership on the satisfaction of hotel customers in the Canary Islands

Leadership provides a strategy to deal with intense competition and high customer expectations in the hotel industry. This paper analyses the ability of managers’ transformational and authentic leadership to predict customer satisfaction. A sample of 18,944 customers and managers of eight hotels in the Canary Islands was used for the analysis. The data were collected using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire-6s, the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire and ReviewPro management software. The data were analysed to confirm the ability of transformational and authentic leadership to predict overall customer satisfaction. The results indicate that the transformational subscales of idealised influence and intellectual stimulation and the authentic subscales of relational transparency and balanced processing predict overall customer satisfaction. However, there are discrepancies between the results for self-managed service departments and outsourced service departments. This study provides a novel approach to scientific research, building upon previous studies of the effectiveness of both types of leadership, especially in relation to their impact on guest satisfaction and differences between departments. The evidence provides insight into the leadership qualities that increase customer satisfaction, which is essential in the hotel industry.
A study on feto-maternal outcome in patients with premature rupture of membranes

Background: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) refers to a patient who is beyond 37 weeks' gestation and has presented with rupture of membranes (ROM) prior to the onset of labor. Patient with PROM presents with leakage of fluid, vaginal discharge and pelvic pressure, but they are not having contraction. It occurs in 3 percent of pregnancies and is the cause of approximately one third of preterm deliveries. It can lead to significant perinatal morbidity, including respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal sepsis, umbilical cord prolapse, placental abruption, and fetal death. Appropriate evaluation and management are important for improving neonatal outcomes. The risk of intrauterine infection increases with the duration of ROM. Evidence supports the idea that induction of labor, as opposed to expectant management, decreases the risk of chorioamnionitis without increasing the cesarean delivery rate. Methods: The present prospective study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and associated Dr. B.R. A.M. Hospital Raipur (C.G.), India from January to December 2013 among the patients diagnosed as premature rupture of membrane with women complain of leaking attending antenatal OPD and antenatal ward. On admission detailed history was taken. General and Systemic examination were done including Per Abdomen, Per Speculum and per vaginum carried out and investigations were done as per protocol. Diagnosis of PROM was confirmed by any of this method. Continuous monitoring of maternal and fetal condition done, antibiotics was given intra/ post natal period. P/ V exam were done when necessary. Investigations done and maternal and fetal outcome were noted. Results: More number of unbooked cases was found in study group in comparison to control group. Maximum women were in the age group of 20-25 years. Majority of cases in both the groups had pregnancy more than 36 weeks. PROM results in oligohydramnios due to drainage of liquor amnii. Majorities of the babies were underweight among mothers with PROM. Thus the better fetal outcome was associated with term gestational age. Higher chances of maternal complication were found among mothers with PROM. Conclusions: From the above study, it can be concluded that PROM is associated with poor fetomaternal outcome. Early diagnosis and prompt management is required for better outcome of mother and baby.

Considering the oxidative stability of cold-pressed sesame, sunflower, and olive oils under different storage conditions

This study evaluated the oxidative stability of olive, sesame, and sunflower oils at different temperatures (4, 25, and 37 C) and in exposure to light for three months. Acidity, peroxide, anisidine, conjugated dienes (CD), and conjugated trienes (CT) and oil stability index (OSI) were measured to investigate the stability of the oils. For all samples, free fatty acid content was almost constant. Temperature and sunlight accelerated the oxidation specifically by an increase in peroxide value and CDs, but anisidine and CTs were not significantly influenced by these variables. The obtained results showed cold-pressed oils had a high tolerance against the formation of the oxidation secondary products. The OSIs were found to be 9.19, 7.06, and 4.73 h for sesame, sunflower, and olive oils, respectively. Among the tested oils, sesame oil had the highest stability. Generally, if storage conditions are optimized, cold-pressed oils can preserve their stability for a longer period.
QVA149 compared with salmeterol/fluticasone (SFC) on exacerbations and its correlation with baseline blood eosinophils: A pooled analysis of LANTERN and ILLUMINATE

Introduction: This pooled analysis compared the incidence of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations with QVA149 vs SFC. We also investigated if baseline blood eosinophil (EOS) count was a predictor of exacerbation risk, and magnitude of treatment effect on this risk. Methods: All patients (pts) from two 26-week double-blind studies were included in this analysis. 1263 moderate-to-severe COPD pts with ≤1 exacerbation in the previous year were randomised (1:1) to QVA149 or SFC. Results: In the overall pool, the rate of moderate or severe exacerbations was significantly lower with QVA149 vs SFC (RR [95% CI]: 0.67 [0.48-0.94]; p=0.021). There was a trend (p=0.08) towards increased exacerbation rate with increased baseline blood EOS count. In pts with baseline blood EOS count of 3 and 150-300/mm 3 , QVA149 showed 45% and 43% reduction in the risk of exacerbations, respectively compared to SFC (Figure 1). In pts with >300/mm 3 blood EOS at baseline (12% of study population), risk of exacerbations was lower with SFC. Conclusion: QVA 149 was more effective in reducing exacerbation risk in pts with baseline blood eosinophil 3 (88% of pool) and SFC in pts with >300/mm 3 (12% of pool). These data suggest that baseline blood eosinophil count may be a useful biomarker in assessing potential benefit of QVA149 over SFC in reducing exacerbations in COPD patients.
A Dynamic Multipath Scheme for Protecting Source-Location Privacy Using Multiple Sinks in WSNs Intended for IIoT

Among several new technologies, such as social and cognitive mobile computing, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) constitute the founding pillar of the industrial Internet of Things. These networks are expected to play an increasingly important role in our daily lives. Social and cognitive mobile computing requires the sharing of data recorded by sensor nodes. However, the data can be vulnerable to attacks. It is of utmost importance to protect the users privacy while ensuring the security of the WSNs. This investigation is focused on the source-location privacy (SLP) of WSNs. This article proposes a dynamic multipath privacy-preserving routing (DMPPR) scheme based on multiple sinks for protecting the privacy. Different from single sink schemes, the technique of using multiple sink nodes to protect SLP is discussed in this article. Furthermore, a packet-slicing transmission scheme that generates a large number of dynamic routings based on multiple sink nodes is adopted for transmitting the packets. Local adversaries are considered, and to cope with these adversaries, a transmission loop, constructed using real and fake packets, is proposed to confuse the adversaries during the source detection process. The aim is to break the sociality between the sensor nodes. Simulations performed in MATLAB show that the proposed method outperforms similar existing schemes in terms of the secure time, adversary’s capture probability, and node utilization ratio. Moreover, the DMPPR scheme also reduces energy consumption by allowing more nodes in the nonhotspot areas to participate in the packet transmission process.
Annual Report Narratives and the Cost of Equity Capital: U.K. Evidence of a U-shaped Relation

Abstract We hypothesize and test for a U-shaped relation between the cost of equity capital and the level of disclosure in annual report narratives. Using a computer-generated word-count-based index of the level of disclosure in U.K. annual report narratives, we document a negative relation with the cost of equity capital at low levels of disclosure, and a positive relation at higher levels of disclosure, together implying the presence of an optimal level of disclosure. We interpret the positive relation at higher levels of disclosure as evidence of uninformative clutter increasing the cost of equity capital. Additional analyses indicate the presence of both firm-level learning and regulatory corporate reporting initiatives as factors shaping adjustments towards optimum levels of disclosure.
Secondary Neoplasms Subsequent to Berlin-Frankfurt-Muenster (BFM) Therapy of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma of Childhood: Significantly Higher Risk for Patients with Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Compared to Other NHL-Subtypes.

We evaluated the rate and type of second malignant neoplasms (SMN) after BFM treatment of children with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Between January 1981 and February 2003 2451 patients (pts) 2 ), daunorubicine/doxorubicin (max. 280mg/m 2 ), but, except few pts, no etoposide. Prophylactic cranial radiotherapy (CRT) was given in stage III/IV (omitted in NHL-BFM95). Pts with mature B-cell neoplasms (n=1597), or anaplastic large cell lymphoma (n=210) received B-type therapy, consisting of 2–8, 5-day courses including cumulative doses of cyclophosphamide (max. 7g/m 2 ), ifosfamide (max. 8g/m 2 ), doxorubicine max. 150mg/m 2 (in trial 81 max. 200mg/m 2 ), and etoposide (max. 1.4g/m 2 ). CRT was omitted since trial NHL-BFM86. With a median follow-up of 6.9 (range 0.2–22.6) years the probability of survival at 15 y was 83+1%. By June 2005, 47 SMN were documented, including 16 acute myeloid leukemias/myelodysplastic syndromes (AML/MDS), 11 NHL, 2 ALL, 1 Hodgkin’s lymphoma, 7 brain tumors, and 10 other SMN. All SMN occurred in first remission after a median time of 2.9 (range: 0.4–12.3) years from diagnosis of NHL. The cumulative incidence of SMN at 15 y was 4.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.9%–6.1%) for the total group. The cumulative incidence of SMN was significantly higher among pts with LBL receiving ALL-type therapy (6.3% at 15 y [95%CI: 2.4%–10.3%] (13 AML/MDS, 2 NHL, 3 brain tumors, and 3 other SMN), as compared to pts with other NHL-entities receiving B-type therapy (3.4% at 15 y [95% CI: 0.5–6.4%] (3 AML/MDS, 9 NHL, 2 ALL, 1 Hodgkin’s lymphoma, 4 brain tumors, and 7 other SMN), p=0.002. There was no significant difference of cumulative incidence of SMN in pts who received CRT compared to pts not receiving CRT. However, 5 of 7 pts, who developed brain tumor, received CRT of 12–24 Gy. Also, there was no significant correlation between the incidence of SMN and the cumulative doses of drugs, except for anthracyclines. For pts receiving a cumulative dose of anthracyclines of >160mg/m 2 (almost exclusively pts with LBL receiving ALL-type therapy) the cumulative risk for SMN at 15 y was 6.5% (95% CI: 1.5-11.5%), as compared to 2.0% (95% CI: 1.1–2.9%) for pts with lower doses, p=0.007. Exposure to etoposide was not a risk factor for secondary AML/MDS (11 of 16 pts with sec. AML/MDS did not receive etoposide). In a Cox regression analysis only diagnosis of LBL remained a significant risk factor for SMN (RR 2.5, 95% CI 1.4–4.4). Our analysis revealed a cumulative risk for SMN of 4% at 15 y after successful treatment of childhood NHL. The cumulative incidence of SMN was significantly higher in LBL-pts than in other pts. AML/MDS were the most frequent SMN following LBL while second lymphoid malignancies were the most frequent SMN following non-LBL.
Investigating the correlation between magnetic Barkhausen noise emission and the fatigue life of shot-peened AISI 4140 steel

The performance of engineering components under conditions of fatigue can be improved by shot peening. The location and magnitude of the highest residual compressive stress, the depth of the compression zone and the stability of the residual stress state during cyclic loading are critical parameters for maximum utilisation of the advantageous influence of shot peening on fatigue performance. For accurate assessment of fatigue lifetime, residual stresses should be considered because they are algebraically summed with applied stresses. Therefore, the development of a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that has the ability to rapidly monitor surface residual stresses has industrial importance when verifying the achievement of the design goals of shot peening. The utilisation potential of the magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) technique in shot peening of ferromagnetic steels includes automated sorting of the components and measurement of surface residual stress. This study aims to establish the correlation between MBN emission and the fatigue life of shot-peened AISI 4140 steel.
