PENGARUH CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TERHADAP RESPON INVESTOR PADA PERUSAHAAN NON KAPITALISASI BESAR (NON-BIG CAPITALIZATION) DI INDONESIA

Some article stated that non-big capitalization company is not considered by investors and do not become a mayor consideration in investing decision. Because of that, this studies would analyze about the affect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to investor response on non-big capitalization company in indonesia. The variables that used in this research were CSR as independent variable and investor response that measured by using cummulative abnormal return (CAR) as dependent variable. The other independent variables which were control variable were return on asset (ROA), firm size, debt to equity ratio (DER), and market share. The sample in this research was non-big capitalization company during period of 2008-2012. The data-processing method is done by determining the criterion sample and statistics descriptive analysis that were mean, maximum value, minimum value, and standar deviation. The amount sample that fulfilled the criterion was 216 firm year. Whereas for the analysis-data model was using classical assumption, double linear regression and hypothesis test. The research result showed that the independent variable CSR did not significantly influence CAR. However, control variables that were ROA, firm size, DER, and market share had significantly influence on CAR.

The resonant frequency, input impedance, bandwidth, radiation pattern and gain of the antenna are presented. The important design considerations necessary for this fabrication are also presented in this study.
Conversational adequacy: mistakes are the essence

We argue that meta-dialog and meta-reasoning, far from being of only occasional use, are the very essence of conversation and communication between agents. We give four paradigm examples of massive use of meta-dialog where only limited object dialog may be present, and use these to bolster our claim of centrality for meta-dialog. We further illustrate this with related work in active logics. We argue moreover that there may be a core set of meta-dialog principles that is in some sense complete, and that may correspond to the human ability to engage in “free-ranging” conversation. If we are right, then implementing such a set would be of considerable interest. We give examples of existing computer programs that converse inadequately according to our guidelines.

Regulated expression of N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptors and associated proteins in teleost electrosensory system and telencephalon

Several types of N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor‐dependent synaptic plasticity are characterized by differences in polarity, induction parameters, and duration, which depend on the interactions of NMDARs with intracellular synaptic and signaling proteins. Here, we examine the NMDAR signaling components in the brain of the weakly electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus. Compared with mammalian orthologs, high levels of sequence conservation for known functional sites in both NMDAR subunits (NR1, NR2A–C) and signaling proteins (fyn tyrosine kinase, RasGRF‐1 and ‐2) were found. In situ hybridization analysis demonstrated that, similar to the case in the adult mammal brain, NR2A and NR2B are expressed at moderate levels in most brain regions and at very high levels in the dorsal telencephalon. RasGRF‐1 and fyn have a similar distribution and appear to be coexpressed with NR2B in telencephalic regions known to support learning and long‐term memory. Both NR2A and NR2B are highly expressed in pyramidal cells of the electrosensory lateral line lobe (ELL) known to exhibit the short‐term synaptic plasticity that underlies adaptive feedback cancellation of redundant sensory input. In contrast, nonplastic pyramidal cells expressed only the NR2A subunit. Furthermore, field recordings show that ifenprodil‐sensitive NR2B‐containing NMDARs predominate for the plastic feedback input to ELL pyramidal cells. However, RasGRF‐1 and fyn are expressed only at low levels in a subset of these pyramidal cells. Our data suggest that NMDAR functions are highly conserved between fish and mammals and that synaptic plasticity dynamics in different brain regions are related to the expression patterns of the synaptic signaling proteins interacting with NMDARs.

Generalized energy functions for a class of lossy networking preserving power system models

With the recent developments of generalized energy functions, it is feasible to extend the existing energy-function-based tools to more general power system dynamical models. In this paper, generalized energy functions are derived for a class of dynamical systems that include, as particular cases, several practical general power system models. As examples, generalized energy functions are derived for lossy network-preserving power system models with both classical synchronous generator and distributed power converters. With the development of these functions, the extension of direct methods for this larger class of power system models becomes feasible.
Long-Haul WDM IMDD Transmission at 10.7 Gbit/s in a Dispersion-Managed Multispan System Using MLSE Receivers

We compare by simulation the performance of a maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) receiver with that of a standard optimized threshold receiver in a dispersion-managed multispan WDM transmission system at 10.7 Gbit/s in the presence of fiber nonlinearities. We found that the use of MLSE receivers helps to significantly increase the tolerance of the dispersion map design and may improve overall system performance.
Transformation of Global Corporations by Implementing Mobility Technology

How large are global corporations transforming themselves? Organizational transformation is about organizational change which the change goes to the depths of what an individual feels and will affect what people feel about the organization, what they do in the organization and maybe what they hold dear to life. Organizational transformation is more than just changing the way business is done. It is about changing the organizational culture in one or more ways. In this article, we focus our attention on the importance of organizational change around the introduction of new mobile technology. Around the world, organizations implement mobility to enhance or balance their business demands and opportunities, and to increase their productivity and profitability. In this article, we propose to address the issue of successful mobile implementation into the existing information system and to analyze its impact on organization. We consider how organizations manage the mobile environment with their existing standardized IT environment. The research comprised of an extensive literature review including the study from various books and articles around mobility, connectivity and information systems. Transforming the organization refers to any significant change made to an organization such as, restructuring an organization or reengineering an organization and/or there is a significant change in the way business is done. The question is, of course, what is significant relative to a given organization.

Renovascular hypertension does not influence repair of glomerular lesions induced by anti-thymocyte glomerulonephritis.

BACKGROUND Systemic hypertension is a risk factor for progression of renal disease. However, it is not clear whether hypertension has an effect on healing or regression of immune-mediated glomerular damage. To evaluate this effect, we applied a model of glomerulonephritis in rats with two-kidney, one-clip hypertension and studied the effect of hypertension on the healing process of this nephritis. METHODS The anti-thymocyte serum (ATS) glomerulonephritis was induced in rats six weeks after initiation of two-kidney, one-clip hypertension, when blood pressure was already increased. Renal structure and function were examined six weeks later. Glomerular expression of alpha smooth muscle actin, the cell cycle inhibitor p27Kip1, and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) was evaluated by Western blotting. Glomerular proliferation, monocyte infiltration, and fibronectin were examined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Decreased survival, an increase of proteinuria, as well as increased glomerular and tubulointerstitial damage, were found in hypertensive rats compared with normotensive rats. Expression of fibronectin, alpha-smooth muscle actin, TGF-beta, and p27Kip1 was increased in the nonclipped kidney. Complete healing of the glomerular changes associated with the nephritis occurred in normotensive nephritic rats. Surprisingly, complete healing of the nephritis was also found in the clipped as well as nonclipped kidneys of renovascular hypertensive rats. No significant differences could be found for survival, proteinuria, glomerular size, proliferation, monocyte/macrophage infiltration, sclerosis, tubulointerstitial damage, as well as expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin, TGF-beta, fibronectin, and p27Kip1 between hypertensive rats with and without nephritis. CONCLUSION These data demonstrate that renovascular hypertension does not influence healing of the glomerular lesions in the anti-thymocyte serum nephritis. This is a rather surprising observation and leaves the question open of which role, in fact, blood pressure may have on the reparative phase of an acute glomerulonephritis, or whether its role depends on the type of glomerulonephritis.
Call Policy for Convertible Bonds and Signaling

I present a model of the firm financed with equity and callable convertible debt in the presence of tax, debt restructuring and a call period. Convertible bonds can be exchanged into equity stake upon the call if the conversion price is above the call price at the end of the notice period. Since conversion price is uncertain, firms prefer to wait and call with a premium to ensure conversion. The size of the premium depends on the firm's cost of capital. If market is not transparent, early call of convertible bond may serve as a a good signal about firm's ability to raise cash. Issuing convertible bond with "soft protection" that specifies the significant call premium as part of the contract will improve the total value of firm's marketable claims by eliminating the cost of calling.
Novel approaches to treat portal hypertension

Portal hypertension is a frequent clinical syndrome, defined by a pathological increase in the portal venous pressure. This makes the pressure gradient between the portal vein and the inferior vena cava (portal perfusion pressure of the liver or portal pressure gradient) to increase above the normal values (1–5 mmHg). The importance of this syndrome is defined by the frequency and severity of its complications: massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding from ruptured gastroesophageal varices and portal hypertensive gastropathy, ascites, renal dysfunction, hepatic encephalopathy, arterial hypoxemia, disorders in the metabolism of drugs or endogenous substances that are normally eliminated by the liver, bacteremia and hypersplenism. 1 These complications represent the first cause of death and the main indication for liver transplantation in patients with cirrhosis. The portal pressure gradient is most commonly assessed by measuring the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), which accurately reflects the portal pressure gradient in alcoholic and viral cirrhosis. 2 A very important concept which has been strongly substantiated in recent years is that the major factor determining the development of the complications and the clinical significance of portal hypertension is that the HVPG increases above a critical threshold value. The threshold value of HVPG for the formation of varices is 10 mmHg, and of 12 mmHg for the appearance of other complications, such as variceal bleeding, ascites and portal hypertensive gastropathy, 3–5 (Fig. 1). 6 Implicit in this concept is that by reducing the HVPG below these thresholds, complications of portal hypertension will be corrected; similarly, preventing the HVPG to increase above these values, will prevent the development of the complications of portal hypertension. This provides the rationale for the medical treatment of portal hypertension. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF PORTAL HYPERTENSION: THE RATIONAL FOR THERAPY
Rhythms in clock proteins in the mouse pars tuberalis depend on MT1 melatonin receptor signalling

Melatonin provides a rhythmic neuroendocrine output, driven by a central circadian clock that encodes information about phase and length of the night. In the hypophyseal pars tuberalis (PT), melatonin is crucial for rhythmic expression of the clock genes mPer1 and mCry1, and melatonin acting in the PT influences prolactin secretion from the pars distalis. To examine further the possibility of a circadian clockwork functioning in the PT, and the impact of melatonin on this tissue, we assessed circadian clock proteins by immunohistochemistry and compared the diurnal expression in the PT of wild type (WT), and MT1 melatonin receptor‐deficient (MT1–/–) mice. While in the PT of WT mice mPER1, mPER2, and mCRY1 showed a pronounced rhythm, mCRY2, CLOCK, and BMAL1 were constitutively present. Despite reported differences in maximal levels and timing of mCry1, mPer1, and mPer2 RNAs, the corresponding protein levels peaked simultaneously during late day, suggesting a codependency for their stabilization and/or nuclear entry. MT1–/– mice had reduced levels of mPER1, mCRY1, CLOCK and BMAL1, consistent with the earlier reported reduction in mRNA expression of these clock genes. Surprisingly, mPER2‐immunoreaction was constitutively low, although mPer2 was rhythmically expressed in the PT of MT1–/– mice. This suggests that mPER2 is degraded due to the reduced levels of its stabilizing interaction partners mPER1 and mCRY1. The results show that melatonin, acting through the MT1, determines availability of the circadian proteins mPER1, mPER2 and mCRY1 and thus plays a crucial role in regulating rhythmicity in PT cells.
Improving golf performance with a warm up conditioning programme

Objectives: To determine whether a golf specific warm up programme (both immediately prior to play and after performing it five times a week for 5 weeks) improved performance in 10 male golfers compared with 10 controls matched for age, sex, and handicap. Methods: Twenty male golfers were matched for age (±2 years) and handicap (±1 stroke). Club head speed was assessed by two dimensional video analysis in a laboratory setting. In week 1, all golfers performed 10 strokes. In weeks 2 and 7, the controls underwent the same procedure as in week 1. The exercise group performed the golf specific warm up followed by their 10 strokes. Between weeks 2 and 7, the exercise group performed the specially designed warm up five times a week for 5 weeks. Results: The mean club head speeds of the exercise group improved at each testing week. Between weeks 1 and 2, golfers in the exercise group improved their club head speed on average by 3–6 m/s (12.8%), and between weeks 1 and 7, they increased their club head speeds by 7–10 m/s (24.0%). With the exception of one golfer whose club head speed varied by 1.7 m/s, the mean club head speeds of the golfers in the control group hardly varied over the testing period (range: 0.3–0.8 m/s). A significant difference (p = 0.029) was found between the mean club head speeds of the exercise and control groups over the duration of the study, and a significant interaction over time (p<0.001) was also found. Conclusions: This study has shown that golfers’ performances will be significantly improved by undertaking a golf specific warm up programme compared with not performing the warm up.
Changes in vein interstitium following distension for aortocoronary bypass.

Some patients who undergo aortocoronary bypass develop lesions in the graft and recurrence of symptoms. Hydraulic distension is used for preparation of veins. We have studied properties of vein interstitium, before and after peroperative distension, in 30 consecutive unselected patients. Segments of vein were studied for water content, swelling behaviour, tracer distribution, and uronic acid content. Initial water content was the same in distended and undistended vein; initial uronic acid content was slightly lower in distended veins, 8.7 (SD = 2.3) micrograms/m, n = 4 vs 10.5 (SD = 5.1) micrograms/mg dry weight, n = 6, not significant. The initial ratio, uronate/hydroxyproline was less in distended veins, 0.14 (SD = 0.05) n = 4 vs 0.19 (SD = 0.07), n = 6 in controls, not significant. Distended veins swelled less during incubation in saline. Average weight gain/initial weight was 0.65 (SD = 0.45), n = 27, and 1.1 (SD = 0.66), n = 25 in controls (p less than 0.01); change in water content/dry weight was 1.2 (SD = 1.1), n = 22, and 1.7 (SD = 1), n = 23 (p less than 0.02), in controls. Distended veins desorbed less uronic acid into the bath; 0.40 (SD = 0.2) microgram/mg wet tissue, n = 26 and 0.59 (SD = 0.3), n = 25 in controls (p less than 0.01). The pattern of uptake of two tracers 125I Serum albumin and 51Cr EDTA, was similar in both groups. These findings suggest alteration of the interstitial matrix of veins during distension. Histologic examination of glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue by light and electron microscopy revealed mural thinning and endothelial cell damage in distended veins. (ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Examining the role of knowledge management in empowering Sistan and Baluchestan University’s staff

Knowledge management (KM) is one of the sub-branches of knowledge economy; it represents quite a new concept and method of management and can affect empowering staff. In this study, which is of a descriptive nature and employed survey method, we dealt with examining the role of KM aspects in empowering the staff of the University of Sistan and Baluchestan. The sample size consisted of 75 persons who were chosen among 250 personnel of the University of Sistan and Baluchestan. The instrument of collecting information was questionnaire, and in order to analyze data, SPSS Version 17 was used. Apart from the two indicators, knowledge transfer and KM facilities, the results of regression analysis showed that other indicators of KM, namely the culture of KM, knowledge maintenance, knowledge documentation, the culture of KM and knowledge maintenance have no significant effect on staff empowering.

Chlorinated Organic Compounds Produced by Fusarium Graminearum

Fusarium graminearum , a pathogen of wheat and maize, not only reduces grain yield and degrades quality but also produces mycotoxins in the infected grain. Focus has been on mycotoxins because of the human and animal health hazards associated with them. In addition to work done on mycotoxins, chemical profiling of F. graminearum to identify other compounds produced by this fungus remains critical. With chemical profiling of F. graminearum the entire chemistry of this fungus can be understood. The focus of this work was to identify chlorinated compounds produced by F. graminearum . Various chlorinated compounds were detected and their role in F. graminearum is yet to be understood.
Treatment of chronic hepatitis C in elderly patients

Importance of the field: The issue of age in cases of chronic hepatitis C (HCV) in the West is a major problem; the average age of patients with HCV is increasing and its prevalence increases with advancing age. Areas covered in this review: This review is devoted to the analysis of the limited number of clinical studies performed to treat HCV in elderly patients. What the reader will gain: The importance of the age factor is outlined in nearly all the studies done in the field. Advanced age is associated with a lower sustained virologic response (SVR) rate. Moreover, in elderly patients, these studies also tend to suggest that, before initiating an antiviral treatment, the physician should not only take into account the classical parameters associated with SVR but also the presence of co-morbidities and life expectancy. Take-home messages: Antiviral therapy should be used in selected elderly HCV patients with advanced fibrosis and more studies are required in this population to better define the parameters associated with SVR. As age is an important factor in the success of antiviral therapy, starting antiviral treatment at a young age should be favored.
Circumventing Short Channel Effects in FETs: Review

The present paper aims at providing a thorough and yet a collective evaluation of some commendable research works done over the past decade with the aim for reducing short-channel effects (SCE). The necessity for development of these technologies arose as short channel effects such as – Drain-Induced Barrier Lowering (DIBL) and hot carrier effects arises manifold as the channel length is scaled further into the deep-submicron region to accommodate changes in ULSI applications. The review highlights some recent techniques to circumvent these effects in fabricated MOS devices, and in addition a short evaluation of strengths and weakness in each research works is also presented.
Circadian Regulation of ATP Release in Astrocytes

Circadian clocks sustain daily oscillations in gene expression, physiology, and behavior, relying on transcription–translation feedback loops of clock genes for rhythm generation. Cultured astrocytes display daily oscillations of extracellular ATP, suggesting that ATP release is a circadian output. We hypothesized that the circadian clock modulates ATP release via mechanisms that regulate acute ATP release from glia. To test the molecular basis for circadian ATP release, we developed methods to measure in real-time ATP release and Bmal1::dLuc circadian reporter expression in cortical astrocyte cultures from mice of different genotypes. Daily rhythms of gene expression required functional Clock and Bmal1, both Per1 and Per2, and both Cry1 and Cry2 genes. Similarly, high-level, circadian ATP release also required a functional clock mechanism. Whereas blocking IP3 signaling significantly disrupted ATP rhythms with no effect on Bmal1::dLuc cycling, blocking vesicular release did not alter circadian ATP release or gene expression. We conclude that astrocytes depend on circadian clock genes and IP3 signaling to express daily rhythms in ATP release.
