Intervention of Dividend Pay Out Ratios in the Relationship of Liquidity and Debt to Equity Ratio to the Profitability of Companies Incorporated in the Indonesian Syariah Stock Index (ISSI)

Increasing the company's ability to produce profits is a focus that must be achieved so that the company is able to maintain its survival. Investment policies, debt policies and dividend policies taken by the organization will influence other financial decisions and have an impact on the company's ability to make a profit. The research objective was to analyze the effect of partial liquidity and debt to equity ratio on profitability and analyze the moderation of divident payout ratio variables in the effect of liquidity and debt to equity ratio on the ability of companies to generate profits. This research was conducted with a quantitative approach, a method of collecting data using the documentation method. The population of this research is the companies incorporated in the Sharia Stock Index (ISSI) during 2013-2017. The sample in this study amounted to 30 with the sampling technique using purposive sampling. Hypothesis testing is done by Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results showed that liquidity as measured by Current Ratio (CR) did not significantly influence Profitability (ROA). So that changes in liquidity that have no effect on changes that occur profitability, while the debt to equity ratio has a significant negative effect on profitability (ROA). Increasing Debt to Equity Ratio increases the decrease in profitability. The dividend payout ratio is not able to moderate the relationship of liquidity to profitability. This is because the dividend payout ratio (DPR) cannot interact with Liquidity (CR) and is also not significantly related to the Profitability variable (dependent variable). The dividend payout ratio is able to moderate the relationship of debt to equity ratio to profitability. Dividend payout ratio can increase company profitability when the company's debt to equity ratio is low, and vice versa, dividend payout ratio can reduce profitability when the company's debt to equity ratio is high. Keywords— Current Ratio, debt to equity ratio, devidend payout ratio, profitability
Between a Troll and a Hard Place: The Demand Framework’s Answer to One of Gaming’s Biggest Problems

The demand framework is commonly used by game scholars to develop new and innovative ways to improve the gaming experience. However, the present article aims to expand this framework and apply it to problematic gaming, also known as trolling. Although still a relatively new field, research into trolling has exploded within the past ten years. However, the vast majority of these studies are descriptive in nature. The present article marries theory and trolling research by closely examining interdisciplinary empirical evidence from a single platform—video games—and applying the various forms of demands to propose a testable, dual-route model of trolling behaviour. Within the video game context, I argue the presence of two primary causal mechanisms that can lead to trolling: 1) Demand imbalance between players and the game; and 2) demand imbalance between players. The article discusses how these two types of imbalance can lead to trolling, which kinds of demands can be imbalanced, and how future researchers can use the demand framework to expand our understanding of trolling.
Patient Information Model to Support Population-level Workload Analysis

Current patient information models are able to support individual patient-level analysis. However, population-focused care is gaining importance due to an increase in the number of people with long-term conditions. A population-focused care addresses the care needs of a group of patients who share a common trait. Primary health care (PHC) being the first point of contact with a health system, our previous work aims to predict and analyse this population-level workload at a PHC centre. As a part of this work, we identified that current patient information models lack the ability to support population-level analysis. In this paper, we discuss an extended ontology of patient information models to support population-level workload analysis. We describe the three cycles of Design Science Research (DSR) applied to develop our ontology. Then, we discuss the existing health data models. Thus, this paper makes a domain-specific application of DSR to develop a patient information model that supports population-level analysis.
A Survey on Search Result Diversification

Queries issued by users are mostly short queries which are ambiguous or broad when it comes to specifying users’ information need. Different users with the same query issued have often got different information needs. The present search engines have to tackle the ambiguity in order to satisfy the users’ needs. And search result diversification is one of the approaches to solve this problem. Search result diversification aims to retrieve diverse results to satisfy as many different information needs as possible. Comparing with the traditional relation models, the search result diversification models take both relevance and diversity into consideration. In this paper, we first discuss the definition of search result diversification, then introduce the existing diversification methods and evaluation metrics. Experiments were carried out to compare the performance of those methods. Finally we give the future outlooks of the search result diversification.
Performance of HPV16/18 in Triage of Cytological Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance

Context Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is widely used in cervical cancer screening in women; however, its efficiency in triaging women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) needs to be validated. Objective To evaluate the performance of HPV16/18 in the triage of women with ASC-US. Methods Women presenting for routine cervical cancer screening had cervical specimens collected, with which both liquid-based cytology (LBC) and hrHPVs were examined; those with ASC-US cytology underwent colposcopy. HPV16/18 and 12 other types were tested with domestic hybridization capture and chemiluminescence signal amplification (DH3). Performance characteristics of HPV test (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) for identification of cervical intraepithelium neoplasma (CIN) grade 2 or worse (CIN2+), and CIN grade 3 or worse (CIN3+)) were determined using standard statistical tests. Results 317 women with ASC-US were eligible for the study. HrHPV prevalence was 15.77% (50/317); HPV16/18 prevalence was 3.61% (20/317). Sensitivity and specificity of HPV16/18 for detection of CIN 2+ were 64.71% and 97% and 64.29% and 96.37% for detection of CIN 3+, respectively. The positive predictive values (PPVs) and negative predictive values (NPVs) of HPV16/18 were 55.00% and 97.98% for CIN2+ and 45.00% and 98.32% for CIN3+, respectively. Conclusion HPV16/18 can be considered as an effective method to triage women with ASC-US as its good clinical performance.

Magnetic Suspension Balance for Measurement of Sorption Isotherm of Tectona Grandis Wood Species (Building Material) In The Republic of Benin

Wood, when used as engineering and building material, requires a perfect understanding of its heat and mass transfer properties. The device presented in this work is used for establishing sorption isotherms curve of Teak (Tectona grandis) from adsorption/desorption cycles. The experimental set up is built around a magnetic suspension balance, which is able to achieve accurate mass measurements over a wide range of temperature and relative humidity. Sorption isotherms of teak have been experimentally found at 50°C by using a moist air generator over a range of relative humidity from 0% up to 95 %. The experimental data have been fitted by a GAB(Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer) model. This model enables the representation of whole sorption isotherms with the Mean Absolute Percentage Deviation (MAPD)about 3.8% in adsorption and 1.8 % in desorption for teak wood and a better estimation of the equilibrium moisture content corresponding to monolayer saturation. The hydrothermal properties results obtained in this study are suitable for a proper use of teak wood in construction or for modelling purposes.

THE STAKEHOLDERS: A COMPARISON BETWEEN IAS/IFRS AND ITALIAN OIC STANDARDS FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

: The scope of this paper is to analyze - from a critical point of view - the financial statements, with particular regard to their main recipients and to their effective adequacy in satisfying the informa - tion needs of stakeholders. The paper aims to contribute to the current debate on the ability of financial reporting to be really useful and effective for stakeholders. It is important to note that in the last ten years the external information has increased considerably, moving from mere accounting and financial information towards several profiles, as sociality, environment, sustainability, corporate governance, risk policies and, more generally, non-financial data. This new direction highlights the growing need for information that the recipients of financial statements express, so that it is extremely important to verify if this need is really satisfied. In addition, given that the Italian accounting standards, settled by OIC (Italian Accounting Body), are very different from the International IAS/IFRS, the paper uses a comparative method, based on the reconstruction, for each of them: a) of the type of information provided; b) of the type of recipients to whom they are addressed. The comparison is made through the analysis of the conceptual framework of the two groups of principles, considering that the main difference between IAS/IFRS and OIC standards is that the former are mostly derived from practice and use a problem-solving approach, typical of Anglo-Saxon empiricism; while the latter are based on an opposite view, namely on the construction of an accounting theory aimed at guiding the practice. According to the majority doctrine, there is a typical and well-known difference between the two groups of principles: the IAS/IFRS standards are based on fair value and are mainly investor-oriented, while the OIC standards are based on historical cost and are mainly creditor-oriented. In addition to this distinction, the paper proposes a further one, based on the differentiation between informational effects and management effects. In particular, the accounting conservatism typical of prudent countries, like Italy, produces, above all, management effects due to the fact that it prevents the distribution of unreal - ized earnings, so protecting company’s capital. On the contrary, an opposite effect is produced by IAS/ IFRS, since the use of fair value can provoke the emersion of presumed but not effective profits, in some cases distributable.
Effect of Ceramic/Graphite Reinforcement on Dry Sliding Wear Behavior of Copper Metal Matrix Hybrid Composites

In the present investigation, effect of ceramic/graphite addition on the dry sliding wear behavior of copper-based hybrid composites have been assessed at three different normal loads of 9.81, 19.62 and 29.43 N. Wear test is performed by using pin-on-disc test rig at sliding speeds of 1.30 and 1.84 m/s under ambient conditions. The copper-based hybrid composites are successfully synthesized by using stir casting route. The samples are characterized by various techniques such as X-rays diffraction (XRD), high resolution-scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive analysis of X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). Microstructural investigations reveal the presence of the WC, TiC and graphite particles in the hybrid composites. It is observed that graphite reinforced hybrid composite shows better wear resistance than hybrid composite without graphite addition. In all the cases cast copper specimen shows highest wear rate. The observed friction and wear behavior have been explained on the basis of the presence tribofilm on the worn surface. Microstructural characterization of the worn surface and wear debris show that the mechanism of wear is primarily adhesive and oxidative in case of cast copper, where as it is a mix of adhesive and abrasive wear in case of hybrid composites. Wear debris analysis also helps to understand the wear mechanism involved during dry sliding.

Serum amyloid A1 as a biomarker for radiation dose estimation and lethality prediction in irradiated mouse.

Background Fast and reliable biomarkers are needed to distinguish whether individuals were exposed or not to radiation and assess radiation dose, and to predict the severity of radiation damage in a large-scale radiation accident. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) is a protein induced by multiple factors including inflammatory. Therefore, this study aimed at exploring the role of SAA1 in the radiation dose estimation and lethality prediction after radiation. Methods C57BL/6J female mice were exposed to total body irradiation (TBI) at different doses and time points and amifostine, a drug used to reduce the side effects of radiotherapy, was injected before irradiation. Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma subjected to radiotherapy were used as the irradiation model in humans. Results A moderate SAA1 increase was observed at 6 hours in serum samples from irradiated mice at all doses used, with a peak at 12 hours, then decreased to day 3 after exposure. A second SAA1 increase was observed from day 5 to 7, which was associated to subsequent lethality. Treatment with amifostine before irradiation could prevent mice death and inhibit the second SAA1 increase. SAA1 increase after radiation was confirmed in human serum of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients after radiotherapy. Conclusions Serum SAA1 levels could represent a biomarker for radiation dose estimation and its second increase might be a useful lethality indicator after radiation in a mouse model.

Suitability of discarded cashewnut (Anacardium occidentale) meal as replacement of soybean meal (Glycine max) in the diet of juvenile African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822)

The search for alternative protein sources in aquaculture nutrition is still trending as the use of costly traditional feed stuffs in aquaculture diet formulation is no longer sustainable. The present study investigated the effects of partial and total dietary inclusion of cashewnut meal on growth, haematology, carcass composition, serum biochemistry and intestinal histology of juvenile African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822). Soybean meal (SBM) was substituted with cashewnut meal (CM) at 0, 50 and 100% in formulated fish diets. A total of 135 juveniles of C. gariepinus (30.25± 1.02 g; 16.08±0.34 cm) were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments (0, 50 and 100% CM based diets) at a stocking density of 45 fish per treatment and further randomised into triplicates of 15 fish per replicate. The feeding trial lasted for 56 days and fish were fed twice daily at 5% body weight. Statistical analysis was carried out for all the parameters evaluated in this study. Fish group fed 50% CM based diet had the best growth performance and haematological profile when compared to 100% CM fish group and the control group. Insignificant changes in serum biochemical parameters were observed in CM fed fish groups when compared to the control. Histological examination of fish intestinal morphology revealed no adverse changes in the cellular structure of mucosal layer and villi in 50% CM fed fish, while mild histo-morphological changes were observed in 100% CM fed fish group. Significant increases in villi length and weight were observed in fish group fed CM based diets when compared to the control. The findings of the present study revealed that partial replacement (50%) of soybean with cashewnut meal improved growth performance and haematological profile of C. gariepinus.

SCANNING TUNNELS WITH TWO VERY HIGH-RESOLUTION LASER DEVICES AND A STACKER

Abstract. In this paper, we analyse the potentialities of the LCMS (Laser Crack Measurement System) sensors for tunnel inspection. Two of these sensors have been integrated into a flexible prototype developed by Cerema, allowing data from the entire tunnel to be recorded dynamically in a few passes. Thanks to this system, we were able to acquire, in a limited time, range and intensity images of the complete vaults of four tunnel tubes, with high spatial resolution, during experimental campaigns. We present image processing methods to take advantage of this type of image. These approaches initially involve improving data visualization and reconstructing a local 3D model. We propose some preliminary approaches to correct the distance image in order to better highlight local variations in depth. These data are currently being deployed for learning neural networks for defect detection.
