ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF CAPITAL RATIO, ASSET QUALITY, EARNING, LIQUIDITY, AND SENSITIVITY TO MARKET RISK ON BANKING FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REGISTERED IN INDONESIA STOCK EXCHANGE

This research was conducted with the aim of testing and analysing the effect of Capital, Asset Quality, Earning, Liquidity, and Sensitivity To Market Risk ratios which are proxied by financial ratios of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non-Performing Loans (NPL), Net Interest Margin (NIM), Operating Expenses Operating Income (OEOI or BOPO), Loan To Deposit Ratio (LDR), and Interest Rate Risk (IRR) on the financial performance of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange which is proxied by the financial ratio of Return on Assets (ROA). The population in this study were all banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2008 to 2018 of 22 banks and made the entire population a research sample, so that the number of observations in the study was 242 observations. Data is processed and tested through panel data regression using Eviews statistical test equipment. The results obtained in this study indicate that CAR, NPL, NIM, OEOI, LDR, and IRR simultaneously have a significant effect on ROA, whereas partially it is known that CAR and NIM have significant positive effect on ROA, NPL and OEOI significantly negative effect on ROA, LDR does not have a significant negative effect on ROA, and finally IRR has no significant positive effect on ROA.
A Review of Research on the Application of Digital Games in Foreign Language Education

The use of digital games represents an expanding domain in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) research. This chapter reviews the findings of 26 learner-based studies in this area that are informed by cognitive and social accounts of SLA. The analysis shows that massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) are the most frequently investigated game type and the majority of studies involved EFL learners in higher education. Mixed methods were the most frequent research tool utilized by researchers. Limitations of current research include the preponderance of small-scale experimental studies that investigated only a limited number of factors. Although the research is not conclusive, findings indicate that game play facilitates collaboration, the production of target language output, vocabulary learning, and reduces the influence of factors that inhibit learning. This chapter concludes by identifying promising areas for future research.
Crustal Porosity of Lunar Impact Basins

Lateral variations in bulk density and porosity of the upper lunar highland crust are mapped using a high‐resolution Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) gravity field model and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) derived topography. With a higher spatial resolution gravity model than previous studies, we focus on individual impact basins with diameters greater than 200 km. The bulk density of the upper few kilometers of the lunar crust is estimated by minimizing the correlation between the topography and Bouguer gravity at short wavelengths that are unaffected by lithospheric flexure. Porosity is then derived using estimates of the grain density obtained from remote sensing data of the surface composition. The near surface crust in proximity to many large basins is found to exhibit distinct radial porosity signatures. Low porosities are found in the basin centers within the peak ring, whereas high porosities are identified near and just exterior to the main rim. The larger basins exhibit a more pronounced porosity signature than the smaller basins. Though the number of basins investigated in this study is limited, younger basins appear to be associated with the largest amplitude variations in porosity. For basins with increasing age the magnitude of the porosity variations decreases.
Antifungal and nematicidal activity of selected legumes of Pakistan.

The antifungal activity of legume seed extracts was tested against 6 fungi, viz., Trichophyton longifusus, Candida albicans, Aspergilus flavus, Microsporum canis, Fusarium solani and Candida glaberata. The extracts showed moderate activity against different fungal strains. Nematicidal activity has also been carried out to evaluate their potential toxicity against juveniles of the rootknot nematode Meloidogyne spp. In vitro results showed that ethanolic extract of these legumes caused appreciable mortality of second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne javanica and Meloidogyne incognita. The concentrations used @ 1% and 0.5% were found more effective and produced significant results as compared to 0.25%, and 0.1%. The mortality rate increased with increasing exposure time for most of the extracts.
Evaluation of production potential and economic feasibility of forage based cropping sequences in western plain zone of UP

The field experiment was conducted during 2017-18 at Crop Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut (U.P.) to evaluate the Studies on the Comparative Production Potential of Forage Based Cropping Sequences and Their Economic Feasibility in Western Plain Zone of U.P. The experiment was laied in randomized block design with four replications and 06 forage based cropping sequences viz. T1 – Sorghum (Single cut) –Berseem, T2 – Sorghum (Single cut) – Oat (F), T3– Sorghum (F) + Cowpea (F) – Barley, T4 –Rice – Wheat, T5 –Maize (F) + Cowpea (F) – Berseem and T6 – Guar (F) – Garden pea (F). Among six crop sequences tested Maize (F) + Cowpea (F) – Berseem cropping sequence led to record the maximum productivity (1583.72 q/ha) in terms of berseem equivalent yield. Guar (F) – Garden pea (F) obtained minimum berseem equivalent yield (548 q/ha). Total dry matter yield was found maximum under Maize (F) + Cowpea (F) – Berseem (363.47 q/ha) and minimum in crop sequence Guar (F) – Garden pea (F) (153.51 q/ha). Total protein yield was recorded highest in crop sequence of Maize (F) + Cowpea (F) – Berseem (41.42 q/ha) whereas lowest in Rice – Wheat (12.09 q/ha) crop sequence. Crop sequence Maize (F) + Cowpea (F) – Berseem recorded the maximum uptake of N (669.39 kg/ha) whereas minimum uptake of N was noted with Rice – Wheat (208.26 kg/ha). Total uptake of P was noticed maximum in Maize (F) + Cowpea (F) – Berseem (136.99 kg/ha) and minimum in Guar (F) – Garden pea (F) crop sequence (70.04 kg/ha). Uptake of K was highest in Maize (F) + Cowpea (F) – Berseem (523.69 kg/ha) and lowest in Rice – Wheat (157.59 kg/ha). The highest Gross return noticed in Maize (F) + Cowpea (F) – Berseem (304406 Rs ha-1) all the other treatment followed by Sorghum (Single cut) – Berseem (260338 Rs ha-1) and the Minimum Gross return in (136830 Rs ha-1) observed in Rice – Wheat cropping system. The maximum net return was recorded in Maize (F) + Cowpea (F) – Berseem (251264 Rs ha-1) and minimum in Rice – Wheat crop sequence and highest benefit cost ratio calculated in Maize (F) + Cowpea(F) – Berseem (4.72) and lowest (1.31) in Rice – Wheat crop sequence. On the basis of one-year data pertaining concluded that the Maize (F) + Cowpea (F) – Berseem proved to be the best cropping system under western plain zone of Uttar Pradesh in terms of maximum berseem equivalent yield, total protein yield, total dry matter yield. The total nitrogen uptake, total phosphorus uptake and total potassium uptake was also highest in T5 followed by Sorghum (Single cut) – Berseem with berseem equivalent yield. On the basis of economic evaluation such (Maize (F) + Cowpea (F) – Berseem) cropping sequence was recorded more beneficial than the other cropping sequence.
Does Culture Play a Role on Underpricing? A Study on 47 Capital Markets

Culture can be defined as all living and thinking assets that separate one country from others. These material and spiritual features that come from the past and encompass the future determine the viewpoints and characteristics of nations. Although increasing globalization with the influence of the internet age brings each society a little closer, the cultural differences of the countries are preserved. In recent studies, the influence of culture has been observed in the fields of personal finance and capital markets, as well as in other areas of life. Initial public offerings are a way for companies to enter capital markets and this is a turning point for many firms. Companies initiate IPOs in order to increase their prestige, enhance their exporting volume, or maintain a better position among their competitors. It is important to manage this process efficiently with the appropriate pricing. Considering the public offerings that take place worldwide, underpricing draws attention almost anywhere. Underpricing, which is the difference between the public offering price and the first day closing price, has found wide coverage in the financial literature. Although, studies on the role of culture in underpricing have increased only in recent years. In this study, the potential cultural impact on underpricing in the initial public offerings at 47 countries was measured by the cultural dimensions of Hofstede. Results show that, power distance and underpricing has positive relationship at the level of 39%, with 0.01 significance. In countries where democracy hasn’t felt enough and inequality has increased, underpricing has been boomed due to the faulty trust among capital market players. In addition, 32.6% negative relationship was determined between individualism and underpricing, with 0.05 significance. Compared to countries where individuals are living in groups, it has been found that there is less underpricing at countries where individuals are more confident personally. Also, in the regression analysis of Hofstede's six cultural dimensions, it was observed that the power distance explained the underpricing by 39%.

Strategic leadership and ambidextrous learning

The purpose of this paper is to explore the dynamics of “leadership and organizational learning” process and the factors that shape this process. Building upon the ideas of transformational and transactional leadership (TFL and TAL), explorative – and exploitative – learning (ERL and ETL), dynamic capabilities (DCs) and intellectual capital architecture (ICA), this paper develops a model of organizational learning. The model explains how leadership styles trigger versatile learning, and how DCs and ICA of a firm influence this process. ,This paper builds upon a systematic review of the literature to develop propositions delineating the complex and poorly understood relationship between leadership styles, organizational learning and the role of DCs and ICA in this process. The paper develops multiple propositions, which together constitute an overarching framework explaining how leadership styles shape organizational learning. ,Leadership approaches, DCs and ICA of a firm all have a differential effect on ERL and ETL. TFL and TAL promote ERL and ETL, respectively. The presence of DCs facilitates the effect of TFL in supporting ERL but negatively influences the role of TAL in ETL. The effect of ICA is discussed in terms of knowledge stocks (generalist vs specialist), social architecture (entrepreneurial vs cooperative) and organizational capital (organic vs mechanistic). The generalist knowledge facilitates TFL → ERL, while the specialist knowledge facilitates TAL → ETL path. Entrepreneurial architectures are suitable for TFL → ERL, while cooperative structures promote TAL → ETL trajectory. Finally, organic systems facilitate TFL → ERL, while the mechanistic systems promote TAL → ETL. ,The key contribution of the paper is in developing a model furnishing profound insights into leadership approaches and organizational learning and the role of two critical factors. To the best of the author’s knowledge, these aspects have not been discussed in a unified framework in the previous studies. Hence, the paper is novel in its contribution.
Relating Lexical Access and Second Language Speaking Performance

Vocabulary plays a key role in speech production, affecting multiple stages of language processing. This pilot study investigates the relationships between second language (L2) learners’ lexical access and their speaking fluency, speaking accuracy, and speaking complexity. Fifteen L2 learners of Chinese participated in the experiment. A task-specific, native-referenced vocabulary test was used to measure learners’ vocabulary size and lexical retrieval speed. Learners’ speaking performance was measured by thirteen variables. The results showed that lexical access was significantly correlated with learners’ speech rate, lexical accuracy, syntactic accuracy, and lexical complexity. Vocabulary size and lexical retrieval speed were significant predictors of speech rate. However, vocabulary size and lexical retrieval speed each affected learners’ speaking performance differently. Learners’ speaking fluency, accuracy, and complexity were all affected by vocabulary size. No significant correlation was found between lexical retrieval speed and syntactic complexity. Findings in this study support the Model of Bilingual Speech Production, revealing the significant role lexical access plays in L2 speech production.
Does Working Capital Affect Family Firms’ Decision-Making in Laos? Evidence from a Two-Wave Cross-Lagged Approach

Family firms are the backbone of the socialist transition to a market-oriented economy in Laos. Working capital is an important area of finance that has not been widely studied in relation to family firms’ decision-making. We hypothesize that working capital has a positive cross-lagged effect on decision-making. The hypotheses were tested on a sample of 779 Laotian family firms from 2016 to 2017 ( t 1 ) and from 2018 to 2019 ( t 2 ) . The analysis was performed using a two-wave cross-lagged model under structural equation modelling. Our results confirm that working capital (access to finance, cash, debt financing, inventory, growth, and profitability) has a positive cross-lagged effect on decision-making. In addition, the findings also suggest that family firms’ early-debt financing could have a vital influence on decision-making. The practical implications of the results are discussed.
Regulated Dependence: Platform Workers’ Responses to New Forms of Organizing

Platform economy organizations often resolve fundamental organizing problems with novel solutions, thereby transforming their relationship with core stakeholders including regulators and workers. Despite the integral role played by platform workers, research on the interplay between platforms and regulatory conditions has yet to take workers into consideration. We investigate how Uber drivers engage with novel forms of organizing across different regulatory structures. Drawing on insights from resource dependence theory, we conduct a topic modeling analysis of drivers’ online forum posts and a complementary qualitative analysis of triangulated data sources. Our findings reveal that workers do not always succumb to organizing solutions imposed upon them; they also actively oppose or supplement them. Importantly, platform workers’ responses vary with the local regulatory structure, which affects the mutual dependency and balance of power between platforms and workers. We discuss implications for the literature on new forms of organizing and the platform economy.
Comparative Study Between Gender Bias in Household Water Conservation and Management in Commune of Pelengana

Highlighting the practice of water conservation (PWC) is a safe way to accomplish water savings. Nevertheless, parameters affecting behavior change linked to water use keep uncertain. In this study, 467 residents (female: 272; male: 195) from three villages situated in the commune of Pelengana in Segou, Mali were investigated in order to analyze the effects of awareness, perceptions and individual water-use patterns control on PWC, and also the influence of gender on inhabitants' PWC. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by post-hoc LSD tests were used in analyzing different data. Participants were very familiar with PWC, but stated low involvement in PWC, especially among men consumers. Although women adopted more PWC than men, the amount of water consumed by these women was more twice greater that of men. Women consumers engaged in PWC principally to reduce water costs, while men consumers applied PWC principally for water scarcity reduction. Daily habits changes and demands of extra time and effort were the principal obstacles for PWC, notably for men consumers. In all, there is a pressing need to enhance information clarity and communication among gender, consumers, and decision-makers to strengthen social assistance for water conservation.

Longitudinal Experience–Wide Association Studies—A Framework for Studying Personality Change

The importance of personality for predicting life outcomes in the domains of love, work, and health is well established, as is evidence that personality traits, while relatively stable, can change. However, little is known about the sources and processes that drive changes in personality traits and how such changes might impact important life outcomes. In this paper, we make the case that the research paradigms and methodological approaches commonly used in personality psychology need to be revised to advance our understanding of the sources and processes of personality change. We propose Longitudinal Experience–Wide Association Studies as a framework for studying personality change that can address the limitations of current methods, and we discuss strategies for overcoming some of the challenges associated with Longitudinal Experience–Wide Association Studies. © 2020 European Association of Personality Psychology
Unconventional Monetary Policy Shocks in the Euro Area and the Sovereign-Bank Nexus

We explore the effects of the ECB’s unconventional monetary policy on the banks’ sovereign debt portfolios. In particular, using panel vector autoregressive (VAR) models we analyze whether banks increased their domestic government bond holdings in response to non-standard monetary policy shocks, thereby possibly promoting the sovereign-bank nexus, i.e. the exposure of banks to the debt issued by the national government. Our results suggest that euro area crisis countries’ banks enlarged their exposure to domestic sovereign debt after innovations related to unconventional monetary policy. Moreover, the restructuring of sovereign debt portfolios was characterized by a home bias.

Corporate Governance and Earnings Management: The Role of Board of Directors and Audit Committee in Financially Distressed Firms

This study investigates the association between corporate governance and earnings management practices of Australian’s financially distressed firms. Based on a sample of 164 firm-year incorporating non-financial firms experiencing financial distress, the cross-sectional modified Jones (1991) model is used to measure discretionary accruals (the proxy for earnings management). Board of directors and audit committee characteristic variables are employed as the key predictor variables for measuring the effectiveness of corporate governance. This study finds that the companies are seeking to reduce their reported earnings to increase the likelihood of making a profit in the following year with the goal of avoiding bankruptcy; a larger number of directors on a board is less effective in detecting and constraining the practices of earnings management by managers of distressed firms; an active audit committee plays a positive role in detecting and reducing the probability of earnings management. The findings of this study have implications especially to regulators and corporate governance reformists that determine corporate governance rules. This is primarily in regard to the efforts made by listed companies in maintaining their sustainability through more emphases on the process for monitoring and selection of board of directors and audit committee members to reinforce effectiveness in managerial performance evaluation.
