Perbandingan Modal Ventura Konvensional dan Syariah : Studi Literatur Model Pembiayaan Startup dan UMKM di Provinsi Sumatera Barat

Venture capital is one of the alternative sources of financing for beginner entrepreneurs (startups) and Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Sharia venture capital is a model of venture capital with the application of Sharia principles in its financing activities. The existence of Sharia venture capital will support the growth of SMEs and startups, especially in West Sumatera. The paper uses a literature study on the venture capital model and the Sharia venture capital model to see a more precise financing model for startup and MSME growth in West Sumatera. Reviews of the study of literature show that, by applying Shariah principles in accordance with the principles of living in society and to support the vision of RPJMD West Sumatra province, the Sharia venture capital model is more appropriate to apply to the startup business and SMEs in West Sumatera. The existence of a Sharia venture capital company became very urgent to be realized immediately. If necessary, sharia venture capital companies can be established in every Regency/city in West Sumatera. The Government should also pay attention to the socialization of Sharia venture capital and also venture capital fund so that the Sharia venture capital that was established can run as the purpose of establishment
Influence of Foreign Direct Investment on Tourism Development: An evidence from Vietnam

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of Foreign Direct Investment on Tourism Development in Vietnam. Using an autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL model) on the data during the period over 2003-2017, collected from World Development Indicators, Department of Statistics in Vietnam. Evidence from the study shows that Foreign Direct Investment and Tourism Development are co-integrated and have a long-run equilibrium relationship. Our results demonstrate that in both short run and long run, Foreign Direct Investment shows a slightly negative impact on Tourism Development in Vietnam. It is noteworthy that the Vietnamese Government share a budget from Foreign Direct Investment on Tourism Development - a lack of priority economic area from Foreign Direct Investment.
Effect of soil amendment with chitin on pea wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. pisi

SUMMARY Chitin applied to soil naturally infested with F. oxysporum f. pisi greatly lessened the severity of wilt in Onward peas, sown at the time the chitin was applied to the field. In the glasshouse, different pea varieties sown in the field soil 8 months after the chitin was applied were protected equally against infection by any of the three races of the fungus. The severity of wilt decreased with increasing amounts of chitin added to the soil. Applying chitin to artificially inoculated soil a month before pea seedlings were planted in pots also greatly diminished the severity of wilt. Adding chitin to soil decreased the population of Fusarium and increased the number of actinomycetes. Many of the actinomycetes were antagonistic towards Fusarium.
A Null Model for Testing Distributions of Dispersal Distances

Dispersal in plant and animal species is ubiquitous, and the recognition of sex-, age-, and taxonomically biased patterns of dispersal has stimulated attempts to understand the processes responsible for these patterns. Competition for resources and/or competition for mates (CFR/CFM; Greenwood 1980; Dobson 1982), avoidance of potentially deleterious effects of inbreeding (IA; Dobson' 1979; Packer 1979; Pusey 1980; Hoogland 1982), and the optimization of trade-offs between the costs and benefits of inbreeding, outbreeding, and dispersing (Bateson 1983; Shields 1983) have all been suggested as causes of nonrandom dispersal patterns. The debate on the relative importance of CFR/CFM and IA as the primary cause of dispersal has been vigorous (Moore and Ali 1984; Packer 1985); on the other hand, Dobson and Jones (1985) argue for multiple causation of dispersal. If dispersal is indeed caused by CFR/CFM, IA, or some composite of these causes, and we wish to understand the processes affecting dispersal, it is necessary to be able to distinguish among the possible causes. One technique that has been suggested for distinguishing between competition for nest sites (i.e., CFR/CFM) and other causes of dispersal examines distributions of dispersal distances. Waser (1985) formalized Murray's (1967) verbal model of dispersal-disperse to the first uncontested site-by deriving a discrete probability model that predicts geometric distributions of animal movements. Buechner (1987) and Miller and Carroll (1989) have developed Waser's model further by incorporating additional demographic parameters. In all three articles, the authors claim empirical support for their models, but none test their model against an appropriate null model. If both a null model and a deterministic model can predict the shape of the same empirical distribution of dispersal distances, the underlying processes of dispersal cannot be safely attributed to the process described by the deterministic model. In this article, I provide a null model against which these geometric models can be tested. I examine our ability to discriminate between this null model and the alternative geometric models using data of a type commonly collected and reported in studies of dispersal, and I provide minimum guidelines for data sets that are adequate to discriminate among the alternatives. Using empirical data sets that meet these minimum criteria, I then test Waser's (1985) geometric model of dispersal against the null.
Spatial Pyramid Block for Oracle Bone Inscription Detection

The detection of Oracle Bone Inscription (OBI) is one of the most fundamental aspects of oracle bone morphology. However, the detection method depending on experts' experience requires longterm learning and accumulation for professional knowledge. This paper investigated the performance of the deep-learning-based object detection framework in the OBI dataset, then selected the one with the best performance as the baseline and made a series of optimization. Specifically, we first redesigned the sizes and ratios of the anchor box according to the data characteristics by using K- means clustering. Secondly, we extracted some typical noises from OBI for data augmentation. Finally, Focal Loss and Mixed-precision are used to improve the model precision and compress the memory footprint. To further improve the performance, the Spatial Pyramid Block is proposed, which can stabilize features and suppress noise interference. Experiments on our OBI benchmarks validate the superiority of the proposed method that achieves 82.1% F-measure suppressing several mainstream object detectors. Our dataset and algorithms will soon be available at http://jgw.aynu. edu.cn.
Multifunctional magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles: an advanced platform for cancer theranostics

Multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles and derivative nanocomposites have aroused great concern for multimode imaging and cancer synergistic therapies in recent years. Among the rest, functional magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) have shown great potential as an advanced platform because of their inherent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), biocatalytic activity (nanozyme), magnetic hyperthermia treatment (MHT), photo-responsive therapy and drug delivery for chemotherapy and gene therapy. Magnetic Fe3O4 NPs can be synthesized through several methods and easily surface modified with biocompatible materials or active targeting moieties. The MRI capacity could be appropriately modulated to induce response between T1 and T2 modes by controlling the size distribution of Fe3O4 NPs. Besides, small-size nanoparticles are also desired due to the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect, thus the imaging and therapeutic efficiency of Fe3O4 NP-based platforms can be further improved. Here, we firstly retrospect the typical synthesis and surface modification methods of magnetic Fe3O4 NPs. Then, the latest biomedical application including responsive MRI, multimodal imaging, nanozyme, MHT, photo-responsive therapy and drug delivery, the mechanism of corresponding treatments and cooperation therapeutics of multifunctional Fe3O4 NPs are also be explained. Finally, we also outline a brief discussion and perspective on the possibility of further clinical translations of these multifunctional nanomaterials. This review would provide a comprehensive reference for readers to understand the multifunctional Fe3O4 NPs in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
A Systematic Literature Review for Software Portability Measurement: Preliminary Results

Software developers agree that software portability is a desirable attribute for their software quality. Software portability is mostly acquired by ad-hoc techniques when trying to port existing products. There is a lack of unified measuring approach of software portability in most computing platforms. This paper presents preliminary results of a systematic literature review, conducted to collect evidence on measuring software portability. The evidence was gathered from selected studies and based on a set of meaningful and focused questions. 49 studies of these were selected for data extraction performed against the research questions. We provide an overview of used\proposed measurement metrics of software portability. Our results suggested that there are scattered efforts to understand measurement of software portability, and no census has been achieved.

ISOLATION AND TEMPERATURE CHARACTERIZATION OF PSYCHROTROPHIC STRAINS OF THIOBACILLUS FERROOXIDANS FROM THE ENVIRONMENT OF A URANIUM MINE

Mine samples enriched for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans at 18, 12 and 6°C, after numerous transfers in medium 9K, yielded average generation times of 23, 44, and 103hr, respectively. Temperature characterization of a natural isolate, over a range of 6 to 35°C, showed that growth occurred at the temperature extremes and that the optimum temperature for growth was 25 to 30°C. A stock culture (commercially available) chosen for comparison showed a similar optimum temperature for growth, but lower growth rates at the lower temperatures examined. Growth studies of the natural isolates in the range of 2 to 35°C revealed that growth rates decreased on either side of 25 to 30°C. This effect was most pronounced in the 2 to 12°C range. These studies revealed the psychrotrophic nature of the natural T. ferrooxidans isolates, and their better growth capabilities at lower temperatures than T. ferrooxidans ATCC 33020. These observations are discussed in the light of their importance in the uranium bioleaching process, as it is currently being used.
Increased effectiveness and applicability of the sterile insect technique through male‐only releases for control of Mediterranean fruit flies during fruiting seasons

One of the main obstacles for a wider use of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) against the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) is the damage commercial fruit suffers due to sterile female stings. To overcome this obstacle, the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture has played a leading role in sponsoring and carrying out research to develop medfly genetic sexing strains that allow male‐only SIT releases.
In Vitro study of the gastrointestinal stability of celery allergens

The gastrointestinal stability of proteins and allergens from native celery roots was studied by a simple two‐step in vitro procedure. Commercial enzyme tablets that contained peptic and pancreatic enzymes were used to simulate gastric and duodenal conditions respectively. The influence on the whole protein pattern was monitored by SDS‐PAGE. The antigenicity and allergenicity of the three known important allergenic structures of celery were investigated with IgG from two rabbit antisera, IgE from sera of allergic patients with known specificity for individual allergens, and by a mediator release assay utilizing allergen‐specific polyclonal murine IgE. The following allergens were studied: (i) Api g 1, a 16‐kDa celery protein which shares high sequence identity with the major birch pollen allergen. Bet v 1, (ii) celery profilin that belongs to a group of ubiquitous ‘plant pan allergens’ and (Hi) ubiquitous carbohydrate determinants present in many glycans of plant proteins in the mass range of 35–90 kDa.

In vitro biopesticide effect of alkaloids and flavonoids of some plants against Fusarium oxysporum

Alkaloids and flavonoids of three plants, namely Withania somnifera, Euphorbia hirta and Terminalia chebula, were tested for their antifungal potential against plant pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum. The spore counting technique was followed for the antibiotic properties of the extracts tested at three different concentrations (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/ml). Results revealed that the bound flavonoid of root of W. somnifera and free flavonoids of stem bark and fruits of T. chebula totally inhibited spore germination of the fungi (100%). The range of minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum fungicidal concentration of extracts recorded was 0.039–0.625 and 0.039–1.25 mg/ml, respectively. Bound flavonoids of selected plants were more effective than free flavonoids and alkaloids. The study suggests that both alkaloids and flavonoids extracts of selected plants have a potential antifungal properties for the control of diseases of various crops.
Genetic Analysis of Developmental Traits in Chickpea

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important legume crop in India. The present study was conducted to investigate the inheritance of several developmental traits in three crosses of chickpea, viz., WFWG III’×‘T20’, ‘T88’×‘Bold Seeded’, and ‘NP34’×‘P1528-1-1’, each having seven generations. The seven generations were P1, P2, F1, B1, B2, F2, and F3. The experimental lay-out was randomized complete block design with three replications. Data were acquired on days to flowering (DF), days to maturity (DM), plant height in cm (PH), number of primary branches (PB), and number of secondary branches (SB). Generation mean analysis was used to estimate the genetic components; narrow sense heritability was estimated using variance components; and correlation analysis to estimate correlation coefficients among different traits. Genetic differences were found in all three crosses for all traits studied. Additive, dominance, and epistatic effects were found for many traits'. Duplicate epistasis was observed for all traits except number of PB. Higher order interactions and/or linkage were detected for DM and SB. For many traits the relative magnitudes of the genetic effects differed among crosses, thus the extrapolation to other crosses may be difficult. The inheritance becomes more complex as the fate of the character is decided at a later stage in the life cycle. Positive heterosis was observed for some traits, but the exploitation of this component may not Feasible since stable male sterile lines are not available. Early maturity and high yield ‘may be selected independently because of the absence of any significant correlation between these two traits.
Effects of dry-deposited sulphur dioxide on fungal decomposition of angiosperm tree leaf litter II. Chemical content of leaf litters.

Ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.), birch (Betula spp.), hazel (Corylus avellana L.), sessile oak [Quercus petraea (Mattuschka) Liebl. ] and sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) leaf litters from a non-polluted and a heavily sulphur dioxide (SO2 )-polluted woodland were fumigated with environmentally-realistic concentrations (0.010-0.030 μl l-1 ) of SO2 for 16-68 wk in an open-air field-fumigation experiment. Fumigation markedly increased sulphate and protons in leachates from the litters and decreased calcium and magnesium contents of the leaves. However, there were few differences in the responses between leaf litters from the two woodlands. This was attributed to rapid sulphate wash-out from the litters from the heavily polluted woodland, so that the litters from the two sites quickly reached the same sulphate status.
Overview of the Current Situation and Challenges about Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders in the Republic of Macedonia

BACKGROUND: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are rare, progressive inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system characterized by severe, immune-mediated demyelination targeting optic nerves and spinal cord. Prior establishment of diagnostic criteria, patients were often misdiagnosed which led to delayed/inappropriate treatment and disability. Current practice involving immunotherapies is insufficient. Recent data are encouraging since the novel treatments allow effective prevention. AIM: The primary objective was to evaluate the current situation to identify challenges and develop intervention that might improve the current state as secondary objectives. METHODS: Standard questionnaire containing 22 questions was developed. Collected data were analyzed and descriptive report was created. RESULTS: Current estimated prevalence is approximately 20 NMOSD patients; trend is unknown due unavailability of patient registry. Six neurologists from one health-care institution are responsible for the whole management. Despite physicianâ€™s insufficient experience, ~80% of them are willing to switch patients into innovative treatments once available. Aquaporin-4-IgG testing is not routinely available resulting in ~30% testing rate. Approximately 80â€“90% of patients are on maintenance treatment with immunosuppressant, corticosteroids are used for acute relapse. Lack of novel innovative medications is evident. CONCLUSION: Current NMOSD management is challenging with significant unmet needs. Highest priorities that might provide improvement are: APQ4-IgG testing availability, establishment of patient registry, and availability of novel treatments.
Estimating the population size of specialised solitary bees

Abstract 1. Reliable methods for quantifying population size are crucial for strategies to conserve endangered wild‐bee species. Estimates of population size obtained through survey walks were compared with estimates obtained through mark–recapture studies in 10 populations of the red‐listed solitary bee Andrena hattorfiana in southern Sweden.
Colonization of Drosophila Subobscura in Chile: Experimental Preadult Competition With Local Species Under Bi- and Tri-Specific Conditions

Preadult competition of Drosophila subobscura, D. simulans and D. pavani under mono, bi-and tri-specific conditions, was studied experimentally. The parameters analysed were egg-to-adult development time and preadult viability. The results showed that 1) the competitive ability of each species is modified when in bi- or tri-specific condition, 2) the outcome of competition in a 3 species system cannot be predicted from the pairwise interactions between species, 3) D. subobscura is a bad competitor. We discuss these findings in terms of the colonization of Chile by D. subobscura.
