The Relationship between Family Social Support and Self-disclosure with Resilience to People with Acquired Physical Disability in Early Adulthood

Permanent physical disability due to acquired factors have a major impact on individual psychological conditions. This study aims to determine (1) the relationship between family social support and self-disclosure with resilience, (2) the relationship between family social support and resilience, (3) the relationship between self-disclosure and resilience to people with acquired physical disability in early adulthood. The sample in this study is all members of the population of 52 beneficiaries in the BBRSBD Prof. Dr. Soeharso Surakarta. The instruments used were resilience scale (rxx = 0.932), social support scale (rxx = 0.940) and self-disclosure scale (rxx = 0.796). The result of multiple linear regression analysis showed a strong relation between family social support and self-disclosure with resilience, with value F-count = 34,438 (> F-table 3,187); sig value 0.000 (p <0.05) and value of R = 0.764. R2 = 0.584 or 58,4%, with effective contribution of family social support = 46,2944% and self-disclosure = 12,1104%. Partially, there is a strong correlation between family social support and resilience (p <0.05; rx1y = 0.736) and there is a moderate relationship between self-disclosure and resilience (p <0.05; rx2y = 0.522). The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant relationship between family social support and self-disclosure with resilience to people with acquired physical disability in early adulthood. Also, there is a positive and significant connection between family social support and resilience and between self-disclosure and resilience to people with acquired physical disability in early adulthood.

Design of Microstrip Parallel-Coupled Line Band Pass Filters for the Application in Fifth Generation Wireless Communication

This article presents the design of microstrip parallel-coupled line bandpass filters (BPFs) for fifth-generation wireless communication application. The BPFs are designed and optimized at center frequencies of 5, 15, and 28 GHz via the use of Keysight’s Advanced Design System (ADS) 2015 simulator. Initial lumped-element BPFs are presented prior to the realization using microstrip parallel-coupled line technique with the implementation of Rogers RO4003C substrate. Both performances are compared and discussed. The microstrip parallel-coupled line BPFs have optimal average performance of 8.59% bandwidth with insertion loss of 1.53 dB and return loss greater than 12 dB.
MICRO, SMALL, AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES TAXPAYER PERCEPTION ON THE DETERMINATION OF FINAL INCOME TAX POLICY ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION NUMBER 23 YEAR OF 2018

The Government has issued a new provision on Income Tax on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), namely Government Regulation Number 23 the Year of 2018 about Income Tax Of Businesses Received or Obtained by Taxpayers Who Have Certain Gross Circulation, effective from 1st July 2018. The Government Regulation revokes Government Regulation Number 46 the year 2013 which has been effective for five years since its enactment on 1st July 2013. This new regulation is considered very important, especially for MSMEs because it regulates the reduction in final income tax rates for MSMEs with a turnover of maximum Rp. 4.8 billion per year, to 0,5% originally 1% (Government Regulation No.46/2013). The method used is descriptive analysis with a quantitative approach using questionnaires with respondents are MSMEs taxpayers in the knitting industry. The results of the research show that in general, knitting industry MSMEs do not know and understand about the implementation of Government Regulation Number 23 the Year of 2018. Taxpayer's perception of fairness is at 3.04, Certainty at 3.14, Convenience 3.20, and Economy/Efficiency 3.50.
Factors Effecting Phytoplankton Assemblages in the Lafayette River Estuary

FACTORS EFFECTING PKYTOPLANKTON ASSEMBLAGES IN THE LAFAYETTE RIVER ESTUARY Laurie Ann Kalenak Old Dominion University, 1982 Director: Dr. Harold G. Marshall Chemical and physical parameters were measured with phytoplankton species composition and abundance in the Lafayette River from August to October 1981. Stations located in four distinct areas of the river were statisti­ cally analyzed to determine data relationships. Environ­ mental factors considered as potentially influencing the presence and numbers of phytoplankton were salinity, temperature, Secchi depth, tidal phase, orthophosphate, combined nitrates and nitrites, ammonia, and reactive silicates. The River mouth had higher salinity and nutrient values, with lower temperatures than the other river sections. Diatoms were the dominant cells in this section of the River. At mid-river, salinity and nutrient concen­ trations decreased, with higher temperatures noted. Common to this area were diatoms and a larger number of phytoflagellates. In the two River branches, flagellated cells were dominant, with increasing numbers of chlorophytes and cyanophytes.

Discriminant Function and Pearson Correlation analyses were conducted separately on environmental and biological data sets. Adjacent stations were not significantly dif­ ferent environmentally. However, in areas located other than next to one another, clusters were statistically dif­ ferent at the a <. 05 level. In analyses using the phyto­ plankton data set, all areas were statistically different at the a <. 005 level of significance. Visual comparisons between the two sets of analyses showed that stations grouped in the same cluster 75% of the time. Of the remaining fraction, half of the cases were associated with severe storm conditions. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE: THE MODERATING ROLE OF EXTERNAL AUDIT QUALITY

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of corporate governance attributes, i.e. board size, age diversity, risk management committee and internal audit function with the business performance of the organisation. In addition, this study also examines the role of external audit quality as a moderating effect in the relationship between corporate governance and business performance. The study adopted a quantitative approach and cross-sectional design where it used a sample of 120 listed companies in Malaysia for the year 2016. Data is collected based on secondary data which is annual report year 2016. The result shows board size and the existence of risk management committee are negatively significant related to business performance while the other variables such as age diversity and internal audit function do not have an impact on business performance. Unexpectedly, external audit quality does not play a moderating role in related corporate governance and business performance. The study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between corporate governance and business performance in the developing country. The paper also provides related insight for regulators, policymakers and investors of emerging markets such as Malaysia. The study is the pioneer to understand the relationship of the risk management committee to business performance and moderating effect of external audit quality.
Exploiting Europe's Strong Potential: Governance, Institutions and Policies

With the euro approaching the tenth anniversary of its establishment, this is a timely as well as critical moment to review policies and performance. Enough experience of the convergence and adjustment processes has been gained to better understand how they work andwhat problems have been created rather than solved. As the strengths – and the success – of the euro become more visible, so too do its weaknesses and the conflicts it creates. Are the appropriate mechanisms and governance in place to help manage Europe’s economy so that it can realize its potential? Governance is critical because of the institutional complexity of the monetary union. Independent policy targets and policy instruments not only have to be consistent with each other, but also need to be integrated in a nonconflicting framework. There are two threads to this debate: convergence and adjustments across the euro area, and how the region as a whole is performing with regard to the rest of the world. Both imply a new approach to governance. When EMU was established, the euro area comprised 11 founding members. Now it comprises 15 and is slowly expanding. Ten years ago the emergence of China was more a possibility than a reality, while the ‘Asian Tigers’ were coming to terms with a devastating financial crisis. Now the rise of the emerging market economies and the enlargement of the global economy’s playing field pose significant challenges to the competitiveness of the euro area. With the euro now becoming the second pillar of the international monetary system, EMU’s external dimension has become very relevant. The way forward needs to blend the traditional concerns for macroeconomic stability and competitiveness with the more recent concern about the role of Europe in the global economy. All these dimensions need to be organized into a coherent agenda. The right policy should be implemented at the right time. Summary points Exploiting Europe’s Strong Potential
Ταιριάσματα σε διμερή γραφήματα

Ας υποθέσουμε ότι θέλουμε να παντρέψουμε πέντε κορίτσια με πέντε αγόρια. Ας υποθέσουμε επίσης ότι ζούμε σε μία μητριαρχική κοινωνία όπου ο λόγος των γυναικών υπερέχει εκείνου των αντρών, οπότε καταγράφουμε τις επιθυμίες μόνο των κοριτσιών. Κάθε αγόρι θα δεχτεί να παντρευτεί όποιο κορίτσι το επιλέξει. Ενδιαφερόμαστε όμως για ένα πλήρες ταίριασμα, δηλαδή, με άλλα λόγια, να παντρέψουμε κορίτσια και αγόρια κατά τις επιθυμίες των κοριτσιών και να μη μείνει κορίτσι (αλλά ούτε και αγόρι) ανύπαντρο. Το πρόβλημα αυτό είναι γνωστό στη βιβλιογραφία ως πρόβλημα του γάμου [1]. Η ύπαρξη ή μη λύσης στο παραπάνω πρόβλημα με τα ως άνω δεδομένα διαπιστώνεται εύκολα. Τι γίνεται όμως, αν τα δεδομένα αυξηθούν, αν ,για παράδειγμα, τα κορίτσια γίνουν 100; Προβλήματα τέτοιας φύσεως απασχόλησαν τον Phillip Hall, ο οποίος έδωσε θεωρητική απάντηση το 1935 [1] (απέδειξε το πρόβλημα με χρήση μαθηματικής επαγωγής), ενώ οι αλγοριθμικές λύσεις ήρθαν πολύ αργότερα [4] και πλέον υπάρχουν πολλές μεταγραφές σε γλώσσες προγραμματισμού [5]. Στην εργασία αυτή παρουσιάζουμε τις ικανές και αναγκαίες συνθήκες ύπαρξης πλήρους ταιριάσματος σε διμερή γραφήματα μέσα από παραδείγματα και κατασκευάζουμε αλγοριθμικά λύσεις. Στη συνέχεια, περιγράφουμε τον κώδικα που υλοποιήσαμε στο προγραμματιστικό περιβάλλον του Scratch1, για τις περιπτώσεις όπου το initial matching (που δεν εισάγεται από τον χρήστη, αλλά υπολογίζεται δυναμικά) αφήνει αταίριαστο το πολύ ένα ζευγάρι κορυφών. Θα πρέπει να σημειωθεί ότι στο Scratch δεν μπορούν να οριστούν δυσδιάστατοι πίνακες και pointers, θέτοντας όρια εκ των προτέρων στη συγγραφή κώδικα και, γι’ αυτόν ακριβώς το λόγο η περίπτωσή μας γίνεται πιο πολύπλοκη. Παραμένει, ωστόσο, ένα αξιόλογο εργαλείο εισαγωγής των μαθητών στον κόσμο των αλγόριθμων και του προγραμματισμού.
The efficiency of using mnemonic techniques in teaching a foreign language

This article examines the possibility of using mnemotechnics as one of pedagogical technologies in foreign language classes (English and Russian). There are several areas of mnemonics: folk, classical, pedagogical, circus, sports, and modern. The author examines techniques related to pedagogical mnemonics. The study of mnemotechnics as one of the pedagogical technologies is relevant, since, using mnemotechnic methods in the classroom, it is possible to make the process of memorising a large amount of information more effective, reduce the time allocated for explaining educational material and solve the problem of students’ interest in learning a foreign language. The novelty of the study lies in the systematization of methods of mnemonics by language and speech aspects. The purpose of the article is to select and describe the simplest and most effective mnemotechnic methods used in teaching phonetics, vocabulary, grammar, and speech skills at the initial stage of learning a foreign language. The most effective methods, according to the author, are those that provide high quality knowledge and develop mental and creative abilities and cognitive activity of students. At the stage of developing phonetic skills, these include: letter, colour and sound associations as well as rhyming words. As for learning words, these are methods based on the students’ native language (complete, partial artificial phonetic associations, etymological analysis of words) as well as techniques based on the target language (abstract sound compatibility, separation of words into meaningful parts, word completion, using known information, and rhyming words). Among the methods that contribute to the development of grammatical skills, the following are productive: grouping words according to similar grammatical characteristics, searching for a keyword, Proceedings of SOCIOINT 20196th International Conference on Education, Social Sciences and Humanities 24-26 June 2019Istanbul, Turkey ISBN: 978-605-82433-6-1 1221 and rhyming words. In the development of speech skills, the use of reference images is of special importance. References may be keywords, visual materials and syntactic models.
BEATBOX v1.0: Background Error Analysis Testbed with Box Models

Abstract. The Background Error Analysis Testbed (BEATBOX) is a new data assimilation framework for box models. Based on the BOX Model eXtension (BOXMOX) to the Kinetic Pre-Processor (KPP), this framework allows users to conduct performance evaluations of data assimilation experiments, sensitivity analyses, and detailed chemical scheme diagnostics from an observation simulation system experiment (OSSE) point of view. The BEATBOX framework incorporates an observation simulator and a data assimilation system with the possibility of choosing ensemble, adjoint, or combined sensitivities. A user-friendly, Python-based interface allows for the tuning of many parameters for atmospheric chemistry and data assimilation research as well as for educational purposes, for example observation error, model covariances, ensemble size, perturbation distribution in the initial conditions, and so on. In this work, the testbed is described and two case studies are presented to illustrate the design of a typical OSSE experiment, data assimilation experiments, a sensitivity analysis, and a method for diagnosing model errors. BEATBOX is released as an open source tool for the atmospheric chemistry and data assimilation communities.
“Don’t pack a pest”: parts, wholes, and the porosity of food borders

ABSTRACT Food retailers, restaurateurs and transnational families rely on continual border-crossings for the global circulation of foodstuffs. Those crossings are highly regulated. Not everything gets in. This paper provides an overview of how food safety is (unevenly) enacted at U.S. ports of entry. Where government regulators and enforcement agents perceive in certain foods danger of adulteration or contamination, importers and producers also experience threat to customary practices of foodmaking, provisioning and commerce. Synecdochic, part-for-whole, reasoning guides food journeys and helps determine the fate of perishable foods as they attempt to cross semi-permeable thresholds that delineate and connect nation-states, and that make possible, even as they also restrict, the flow of international trade.
Flexible and Lightweight Devices for Wireless Multi-Color Optogenetic Experiments Controllable via Commercial Cell Phones

Optogenetics provide a potential alternative approach to the treatment of chronic pain, in which complex pathology often hampers efficacy of standard pharmacological approaches. Technological advancements in the development of thin, wireless, and mechanically flexible optoelectronic implants offer new routes to control the activity of subsets of neurons and nerve fibers in vivo. This study reports a novel and advanced design of battery-free, flexible, and lightweight devices equipped with one or two miniaturized LEDs, which can be individually controlled in real time. Two proof-of-concept experiments in mice demonstrate the feasibility of these devices. First, we show that blue-light devices implanted on top of the lumbar spinal cord can excite channelrhodopsin expressing nociceptors to induce place aversion. Second, we show that nocifensive withdrawal responses can be suppressed by green-light optogenetic (Archaerhodopsin-mediated) inhibition of action potential propagation along the sciatic nerve. One salient feature of these devices is that they can be operated via modern tablets and smartphones without bulky and complex lab instrumentation. In addition to the optical stimulation, the design enables the simultaneously wireless recording of the temperature in proximity of the stimulation area. As such, these devices are primed for translation to human patients with implications in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric conditions far beyond chronic pain syndromes.
A Study of Introduction of Concept of Emotional Intelligence in Medical Students

Introduction Despite high clinical skills of Indian medical graduates, there is growing mistrust between doctors and patients. Currently there is no programme of developing emotional intelligence (EI) in medical curriculum. Material and Method A cross-sectional study based on questionnaire was conducted on 35 medical students. Demographic data was collected by semi open ended questionnaire. EI data was collected by Schutte's Self-Report EI test questionnaire of on a 5 point Likert scale. After collecting the responses, the students were asked to attend a one hour lecture on emotional intelligence. Data was entered in MS-EXCEL and analyzed by SPSS version 19. Student's t-test was used to calculate p value. Data was considered significant for p< 0.05. Results Out of total 35 subjects, 20 (57.14%) were male. 26 (74.28%) stayed in hostel. Mean EI score was 102.42. EI in hostel vs. family accommodation was 98.34 and 103.27 respectively. Mean EI score males and females was 98.41 and 104.25 respectively. Conclusion IMG have low EI. Gender and type of accommodation have no significant effect on EI. Sensitization of IMG is required to develop EI.
Remunerations and Burnout in Mexico

With the current pace of working life and the demands of a globalized world, more and more people are suffering from burnout syndrome. This has led Mexico to occupy first place worldwide in work stress. This research analyzes remunerations, psychological empowerment, and burnout in teachers of public institutions of middle higher education. Using a model of structural equations, it was observed that the results do not support the inverse relationship between compensation with burnout through psychological empowerment, hence the hypothesis was rejected.
Budaya Perusahaan: Penerapan Good Corporare Governance Serta Implikasinya Terhadap Keberlanjutan Kinerja Bank

Kinerja merupakan suatu proses manajemen yang dirancang untuk menghubungkan tujuan organisasi dengan tujuan individu sedemikian rupa, sehingga baik tujuan individu maupun tujuan korporasi dapat bertemu. Ukuran dari kinerja perusahaan sangatlah bermacam-macam dan berbeda-beda dari satu industri ke industri lainnya tergantung pada aktivitas pokok perusahaan seperti produksi, keuangan, pemasaran, sumber daya manusia, jasa dan banyak lagi kegiatan usaha lainnya. Pada penelitian ini, jenis industri yang akan diteliti bergerak di bidang jasa perbankan. Kinerja keuangan adalah salah satu tolak ukur dalam menilai suatu bank dan kondisi keuangan yang bagus cenderung menarik perhatian investor. Dalam hubungannya dengan kinerja, laporan keuangan sering dijadikan dasar untuk penilaian kinerja bank karena dapat menunjukkan posisi keuangan dan juga indikator kinerja. Berdasarkan data kinerja dan rasio keuangan perbankan nasional pada tahun 2013 – 2017, dapat dilihat bahwa tren kinerja perbankan cenderung fluktuatif dari tahun ke tahun. Salah satu penyebab turunnya kinerja dan rasio keuangan adalah penerapan Good Corporate Governance (GCG) yang kurang baik. Permasalahan mengenai kinerja perbankan selaras dengan data statistik GCG yang dikeluarkan oleh LPPI pada tahun 2018, dimana rata-rata peringkat GCG untuk Bank Umum Kategori Usaha (BUKU) 1 dan 2 berada di atas standar standar industri perbankan. Selama ini, penerapan GCG dilakukan pada tingkat corporate dan kurang optimalnya implementasi GCG yang dilakukan di tingkat unit bisnis maupun tingkat operasional / fungsional. Pemodelan dari kerangka penelitian dirancang dengan menggunakan model persamaan struktural atau Structural Equation Model (SEM) yang merupakan pendekatan terintegrasi antara Analisis Faktor, Model Struktural dan Path Analysis. Berdasarkan fenomena yang terjadi pada industri perbankan di Indonesia, maka kerangka pemikiran penelitian yang akan ditelaah adalah mengetahui gambaran keberlanjutan kinerja pada industri perbankan di Indonesia yang merupakan dampak dari penerapan GCG yang didukung oleh budaya perusahaan.
