The Characteristics of MSME Entrepreneurs in Surakarta, Indonesia

This study aims to characterize the profile of entrepreneurs from micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) and core business employees in Surakarta, one of the heritage city in Indonesia. The characteristics examined in this study are the need for achievement, locus of control, tolerance for ambiguity, creativity/innovation, self-confidence, propensity to risk, and a sense of self-sufficiency/freedom. This study also attempts to determine the distinguishing characteristics between entrepreneurs and core business employees. Forty core business employees and thirty-six entrepreneurs were selected using purposive sampling method and questionnaires as the research instruments. Data testing was performed using descriptive statistical analysis methods and independent sample t-test to examine the differences in the characters reflected in the sample studied. The test results indicate that there are significant differences between entrepreneur and core business employees in their character, including the need for achievement, ambiguity tolerance, creativity/innovation, propensity to risk, and a sense of self-sufficiency/freedom. However, there is no significant difference in the character of self-confidence and locus of control. In addition, descriptive statistical tests show that entrepreneurs have a higher mean score on all aspects of the characteristics than core business employees.

Social Media Marketing and Marketing Performance on New SME: A Moderating Consumer Innovativeness

Small Medium Enterprise (SME) is the backbone of a country’s economy. The support from the government emerges many SMEs that run various businesses. However, selling new products or brands from new business is not an easy task. The use of social media as part of marketing activities is an easy and inexpensive way to introduce a new product to consumers, especially to those consumers who can easily accept the new product. This study aims to explore moderating consumer innovativeness from social media marketing and marketing performance relationship on new SME. Survey technique was used for this research, and data were obtained from 96 respondents who have consumed new SME’s products. Data were processed and analyzed using WarpPLS. The results of this research showed that marketing performance on new SME was influenced by social media marketing. Consumer innovativeness moderated the influence of social media marketing toward marketing performance on new SME.
Varying Contributions of Drivers to the Relationship Between Canopy Photosynthesis and Far‐Red Sun‐Induced Fluorescence for Two Maize Sites at Different Temporal Scales

Sun‐induced fluorescence (SIF) has been found to be strongly correlated with gross primary production (GPP) in a quasi‐linear pattern at the scales beyond leaves. However, the causes of the GPP:SIF relationship deviating from a linear pattern remain unclear. In the current study conducted at two maize sites in Nebraska in 2017 summer growing season, we investigated the relationship between GPP and SIF at 760 nm (F760) at two temporal scales and quantified the contributions of incoming photosynthetically active radiation (PARin), fraction of absorbed PAR (fPAR), light use efficiency (LUE), and F760 yield (F760,y, defined as F760/(PARin×fPAR)) to GPP and F760 variabilities to further understand the linearity and deviations in the GPP:F760 relationship. We found the following: (1) For individual growth stages when canopy structure and chlorophyll content were stable, GPP and F760 were strongly controlled by PARin, while LUE and F760,y had much lower contributions to the GPP:F760 relationship; during this period, LUE and F760,y had either a slightly negative or no clear relationship, which explained some deviations in the GPP:SIF relationship. (2) At the seasonal scale, the contribution of LUE to GPP variability as well as the contribution of F760,y to F760 variability increased and was comparable to the contribution of PARin; the LUE:F760,y relationship showed a strong linear relationship, which strengthened the linear GPP:F760 relationship. Both maize sites showed similar patterns. A framework was applied to estimate LUE at individual stages and as a result, significantly improved the GPP estimation, thus enhancing the SIF potential for inferring photosynthesis.
Optimization of cell-based therapy using an injectable hydrogel after stroke : MRI and histological study

As the leading cause of disability in adulthood, stroke remains an important subject of study because no effective treatments except by rehabilitation are currently available after the first hours. The acute phase therapy reperfusion is conditinated to a rapid detection and management. For this reason, just around 10% of patients benefit of this. The application of new brain imaging techniques can be relevant for the comprehension of acute stroke mechanism and for a more accurate identification of candidates for acute phase reperfusion therapies. In our first study in a rat model of ischemic stroke (by occlusion of middle cerebral artery, MCAo) we characterized the microvascular, hemodynamic and local saturation in oxygen (StO2) alterations in the acute phase (around one hour after stroke onset), using multiparametric MRI. We demonstrated the potential of StO2 MRI map for detecting the ischemic core without the inclusion of any reversible ischemic damage.Therapeutic approaches that can be applied beyond acute phase are urgently needed. Most evidences suggest that cell therapies have the potential to reduce post-stroke disability through neuroprotection and brain remodelling mechanism. Despite of beneficial effects were demonstrated, some issues need to be addressed, such as the important loss of grafted cells reported when cells are administrated into infarct cavity. We evaluated an innovating biomaterial hydrogel in vivo and their potential to promote long term protection of grafted cells. In a pilot study, we demonstrated that hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel (HA) HyStemTM-HP (Sigma-Aldrich, France) presented a long lasting (over 28 days) in healthy brain suggesting to be a good candidate for cell therapy.When co-administrated by intracerebral route combined with human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSC from bone marrow) seven days after MCAo, the HAhydrogel promoted an increase of hMSC survival and improved angiogenic process. In the immunohistological study, RECA1+ (vessel endothelial cells makers) were increased. Collagen-IV+ cells (vessel basal membrane) were also increased. Post stroke angiogenesis is a key process for brain recovery. No difference in lesion volume was detected among the ischemic groups by in vivo MRI. Despite the pro-angiogenic beneficial effect, neither hMSC+HA nor hMSC alone were able to improve functional results 3 weeks after intracerebral injection (assessed by modified neurological severity score (mNSS), and adhesive removal test).
Developing and using optimal control methods for experimental robustness

This thesis details work performed on the improvement of experimental control of quantum systems through the use of optimal control theory. We pursue this objective through both conceptual and practical routes. We first devise improved methods of optimal control for quantum systems. We then apply them, as well as more established methods, to experimental situations where robustness to inaccuracy and error is sought. We develop a method for improving the computational efficiency of optimal control theory in the context of quantum control. This approach makes use of the iterative nature of optimisation algorithms, by using perturbation theory to minimise the effort needed to calculate the time propagator associated with a controlled Hamiltonian. We also create a new way of defining a figure of merit when optimising for robustness against error in an experiment. This method specifically applies to errors that have a relatively small effect on the controlled system’s Hamiltonian. We compare this with an ensemble method based around randomly sampling several points on the control landscape, and find these methods to be largely equivalent for small errors, with the ensemble method being superior for larger error. On the applied side, we design radio frequency magnetic pulses that create robustness in spin ensembles to inhomogeneous broadening and variations of coupling strength to the control field for two applications. In the first, we create reliable gates in a situation where limitations are imposed on the control that can be applied. In the second application, we design controls for radio frequency magnetic pulses to create a superradiant state in a spin ensemble. Finally, we collaborate with the experiment to measure the electrons electric dipole moment that is being performed at Imperial College London. For this collaboration,
Expression of ZmLEA3, AOX2 and ZmPP2C genes in maize lines associated with tolerance to water deficit

ABSTRACT Knowing genes related to water deficit is a valuable tool to assist and accelerate the selection process of maize genotypes more adapted to drought conditions. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate genes expression related to tolerance to water deficit in maize lines, using proteomic and transcriptomic analyses. Two lines previously classified as tolerant (91-T) and non-tolerant (57-NT) to low water availability were used. Dried seeds, ears tips, and seedlings (collected at three, five, and seven days after sowing) of the two maize lines (91-T and 57-NT) were used in proteomic analyses. Seedlings were subject to two contrasting water-availability conditions (70% and 10% of the water retention capacity). The expression of catalase, peroxidase, and esterase enzymes and heat-resistant proteins were evaluated by electrophoresis. Dried seeds, ears tips, and seedlings (collected at seven days after sowing, subject to two contrasting water-availability conditions) of two maize lines (91-T and 57-NT) were used in the transcriptomic analyses. The expression of genes associated with tolerance to low water availability (ZmPP2C, ZmLEA3, and AOX2) was evaluated by the qRT-PCR technique. Results revealed that catalase, peroxidase, and esterase enzymes had a higher expression on the ears tips of the 91-T line. The expression of catalase and esterase enzymes reduced in seven-day-old seedlings in the two lines analyzed. Heat-resistant proteins had greater activity on the dried seeds of the 91-T line. The AOX2 gene was identified as a potential marker for the selection of maize genotypes tolerant to water deficit.
The Chamomile Aromatherapy Reduce The Scale of Nausea

The incidence of cervical cancer in the world is 17 per 100,000 women, while the mortality rate ranges from 8.2 per 100,000 women. One therapy for cancer treatment is chemotherapy. The side effects caused by chemotherapy are nausea and vomiting. In addition to drugs, complementary therapy given to chemotherapy patients is chamomile aromatherapy. This study aims to determine the effect of chamomile aromatherapy on reducing the scale of nausea after chemotherapy of cervical cancer patients in Dr. Moewardi Hospital. The type of research used is quasy experiment, using a research design non equivalent with the control group pretest and posttest design. The sample used was 30 patients with the criteria of patients who experienced Acute & Delayed Nausea. Analyze data used Paired Samples Test and Independent T-Test. The results showed that the average scale of nausea before chamomile aromatherapy intervention was 15.40. And the average scale of nausea after intervention was 2.87 as evidenced by the value p=0.000 (p<0.05). The average value of the nausea after treatment scale in the control group was 7.33, and the nausea scale average value in the intervention group was 2.87. So that it can be concluded that there is an effect after being given chamomile aromatherapy to reduce the scale of nausea after chemotherapy with p=0.000
Effect of Labor Cost and Industrial Structure on the Development Mode Transformation of China’s Industrial Economy

ABSTRACT Based on the non-parametric DEA-Malmquist method, this paper estimates the total factor productivities of the 33 industrial sectors in China for 2002–2014. The proposed industrial restructuring measurement is based on total factor productivity rates. This paper utilizes panel data from Chinese industrial sectors and observes the effects of labor costs and industrial restructuring on economic growth approaches. The results show a clear effect of labor cost increases and industrial restructuring in promoting the transformation of economic growth modes. To transform the mode of China’s industrial economic development, improving labor quality, accumulating human capital, and industrial restructuring should be emphasized.
Trade Liberalization Effects on Import Demand: The Pakistan Experience using Bilateral Trade Data

: The fundamental objective of this study is to estimate for basic trade elasticity and assess the impact of trade liberalization on Pakistan’s import demand in bilateral case for a sample of selected countries. In sample, countries are selected from both the developed and developing world on account of their greater share in Pakistan’s total imports. The method of autoregressive distributed lag model with a new strategy is performed using annual data for the time period of 1982-2016. Results indicate that co-integration exist in all bilateral cases. The domestic income is statistically signiﬁcant determinants both in short and long run with expected positive signs and their estimates are highly elastic. The estimates of income coeﬃcient range from 1.54 to 7.42 which indicate that as the economy grows, Pakistan, imports from trading partners also surge with greater velocity. The price is according to the expected signs i.e. negative and insigniﬁcant in most cases, except in the case for Japan and Indonesia where it is signiﬁcant but inelastic i.e. the coeﬃcient value is looking less than 0.6 in all cases. In nutshell the trade liberalization impact is looking positive and statistically signiﬁcant in many country cases. However, these eﬀects are diﬀerent for each era of trade liberalization and vary from country to country level. This is indeed the case, where diﬀerent import policies need to implement rather than a single trade policy to supervise excessive imports of the country.
Characterization and differential expression of microRNA in the freshwater shrimp (Neocaridina heteropoda) with different body length

ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs which promote mRNA degradation and inhibit mRNA translation. Through post-transcriptional regulation, microRNAs (miRNAs) play a significant role in regulating growth, development, metabolic, and reproductive processes. However, current knowledge on miRNAs in crustaceans is limited. In this study, we explored the potential roles of miRNAs in abdominal muscle of Neocaridina heteropoda of different body length. We constructed two small RNA libraries from muscle samples, and 26 novel miRNAs were identified. Among these novel miRNAs, 13 were found significantly differentially expressed. Specifically, 10 miRNAs were significantly up-regulated and 3 miRNAs were down-regulated in small shrimps compared with large ones. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis revealed that miR-26 was associated with a large number of differentially expressed genes, including glucose transporter 1 (Glut1), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pepck), and phosphofructokinase (Pfk), related to glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways. Besides, luciferase activity assay verified that Pepck was a direct target gene of the novel miR-26. The results imply potential growth regulatory roles for miRNAs and provide a valuable resource for further investigation of the miRNA mechanisms controlling muscle growth in N. heteropoda and other crustaceans.

Using a Concept Map With RECALL to Increase the Comprehension of Science Texts for Children With Autism

Learning science is important for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as knowledge of science allows students to understand their natural world, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is increasingly emphasized in schools. Reading to learn science is, therefore, a vital skill in today’s schools for all students. Using a single-case reversal design, this study evaluated the effectiveness of Reading to Engage Children with Autism in Language and Literacy (RECALL; a shared reading intervention) combined with a concept map on the ability of young children with ASD to answer comprehension questions from science text. Two 5-year-old boys with ASD participated in this study. Results indicated that RECALL combined with a concept map was effective in increasing participants’ correct responding to comprehension questions from science text. Implications for intervention and research are discussed.
Co-creation of Brands: A Bibliometrics Assessment of Existing Literature

This study aims to identify the theoretical foundation of literature and describe research trends and themes on the topic of co-creation of branding. To do so, we introduce a bibliometrics assessment of current literature. With bibliometrics software we analyze a dataset retrieved from the Scopus database. The results suggest that the foundation of the literature can be traced to ideas that challenge previous fundamental views in marketing and value creation. Alongside the theoretical foundations we are through bibliographic coupling able to identify four coherent themes within the field of research, (1) The shift from traditional to online marketing, (2) Stakeholder engagement, (3) Experience and Value Co-creation, and (4) Co-creation through social media. The study is an introductory bibliometrics assessment which will allow further research on the topic.
Prognostics Factors of Cochlear Implant in Adults: How Can We Improve Poorer Performers?

Rehabilitation for any cochlear implant (CI) recipient is a process having the aim of taking the necessary steps to enable users to achieve their best possible auditory outcome. It involves all stages of interaction including evaluations for candidacy, device selection, preoperative counseling, surgical intervention, device activation, post-implant support, evaluations of progress, and hearing training. Since rehabilitation is an ongoing process, it becomes critical to determine what is sufficient, that is, how intense the follow-up program must be, especially since there is substantial variability for results on outcome measures that assess progress in hearing function and abilities after implantation.
Locomotor and collision characteristics by phases of play during the 2017 rugby league World Cup

ABSTRACT Purpose Understanding differences in locomotor and collision characteristics between phases of play can help rugby league coaches develop training prescription. There are no data currently available describing these differences at the elite international level. The aim of our study was to determine the differences in average speed (m∙min−1), high-speed running (>5.5 m∙s−1) per minute and collision frequencies per minute (n∙min−1) between attack and defence during the 2017 Rugby League World Cup (RLWC). Methods: Microtechnology data were collected from 24 male professional rugby league players from the same international squad across six matches of the RLWC. Data were then subject to exclusion criteria and stratified into forwards (n = 9) and backs (n = 7) before being analysed with linear mixed-effects models. Results: When comparing attack with defence, forwards and backs had substantially slower average speeds (effect size [ES]; ±90% confidence limits: −2.31; ±0.31 and −1.17; ±0.25) and substantially greater high-speed distance per minute (1.61; ±0.59 and 4.41; ±1.19). Forwards completed substantially more collisions per minute when defending (2.75; ±0.32) whilst backs completed substantially more when attacking (0.63; ±0.70). There was greater within- and between-player variability for collision frequency (coefficient of variation [CV] range; 25–28%) and high-speed distance (18–33%) per minute when compared to average speed (6–12%). Conclusions: There are distinct differences in locomotor and collision characteristics when attacking and defending during international rugby league match-play, yet the variability of high-speed running and collisions per minute is large. These data may be useful to plan or evaluate training practices.
Career cooperation, coordination, compatibility and co-working

Purpose The purpose of this case study is to examine how female expatriates mobilise couples’ dual-career coordination strategic choices to achieve their own and their partners’ desired career goals. Design/methodology/approach This qualitative research is based upon in-depth interviews with 20 dual-career female expatriates working in two case study oil and gas organisations. Findings Female expatriates use a series of tactics ranging from cooperation in maintaining a dual-career hierarchy, through to coordinating aspects of their own and their partners’ assignments, undertaking compatible industry roles, and co-working (working together in the same organisation) to attempt to achieve a greater egalitarian international dual-career strategic outcome. Research limitations/implications This case analysis was based on a relatively small sample of female expatriates in heterosexual relationships working in oil and gas exploration. Further research in different sectors, with larger samples, and with male expatriates is also needed. Practical implications Employers should minimise periods of separation by focusing on coordinated assignment timings for both partners, facilitate suitable employment for both partners who wish to work abroad, and prioritise securing partner work visas. Social implications The inability to pursue desired dual-careers together while undertaking international assignments can be detrimental to couples’ relationships, potentially leading to unwillingness to expatriate and thereby deliver necessary skills in the host country. Originality Originality lies in identifying the tactics women use to enact dual-career coordination strategies, including coordinating assignment timings and locations to reduce separation, and pursuing compatible roles to achieve egalitarian career and relationship outcomes. While women expected co-working in the same firm to facilitate dual-career mobility, its career outcomes were disappointing.
