Urgency of Local-Owned Enterprises (BUMD) Law as Good Corporate Governance Basis in Indonesia

Indonesian Law Number 23 on Local Government provides an authority to the local goverment to establish a LocalOwned Enterprise which is well known as BUMD (Badan Usaha Milik Daerah). BUMD has strategic roles in the autonomy era for providing benefitfor the economic growth, conducting general benefit and raising profit. However, it is difficult to achieve the goals of BUMD since the absence of laws on BUMD. There are two impacts of the absence of the law namely the ambiguity of managing BUMD both promoting public profit and achieving the breach of good corporate governance principle. This study uses stakeholder theory of modern corporation as the grand theory, fiduciary theory of corporation as middle range theory and legislation theory as applied theory. The result shows that firstly, Indonesia needs to have a special regulation concerning BUMD. Nowadays, although there are some regulations mentioning about BUMD both in national and local levels, it does not specifically discuss BUMD. Secondly, it is a must to have a fitted management in order to achieve the Goal of Establishment of BUMD either using stakeholder or stakeholder prinsciples. Keywords— local-owned enterprises (BUMD); government regulation; Indonesian laws
The Hidden World within Plants: Ecological and Evolutionary Considerations for Defining Functioning of Microbial Endophytes

SUMMARY All plants are inhabited internally by diverse microbial communities comprising bacterial, archaeal, fungal, and protistic taxa. These microorganisms showing endophytic lifestyles play crucial roles in plant development, growth, fitness, and diversification. The increasing awareness of and information on endophytes provide insight into the complexity of the plant microbiome. The nature of plant-endophyte interactions ranges from mutualism to pathogenicity. This depends on a set of abiotic and biotic factors, including the genotypes of plants and microbes, environmental conditions, and the dynamic network of interactions within the plant biome. In this review, we address the concept of endophytism, considering the latest insights into evolution, plant ecosystem functioning, and multipartite interactions.
Counter-gradient subgrid-scale transport and energy backscatter in turbulent deflagrations

Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of a turbulent premixed flame are performed in this study. The numerical results are differentially filtered to carry out a priori analyses of the interscale transfer of kinetic energy between subgrid and supergrid levels in LES. Thermal-expansion-driven backscatter of kinetic energy is found to prevail over forwardscatter throughout the entire flame brush in a manner that is interrelated with counter-gradient diffusion of scalars and with non-Boussinesq transport of momentum.
Performance and Reliability Codesign for Superjunction Drain Extended MOS Devices

Conventionally, integrated drain-extended MOS (DeMOS) like high-voltage devices are designed while keeping only performance targets for a given application in mind. In this paper, for the first time, performance and reliability codesign approach using 3-D TCAD has been presented for various superjunction (SJ) type DeMOS devices. In this context, how to effectively utilize the SJ concept in a DeMOS device for System on Chip applications, which often has stringent switching and RF performance targets, is explored in detail in this paper. Moreover, design and reliability tradeoffs for switching and RF applications are discussed, while considering two unique sets, one with fixed breakdown voltage and other with fixed ON-resistance. Finally, hot carrier generation, safe operating area concerns, and electrostatic discharge physics are explored and compared using 3-D TCAD simulations.
Effects of male ejaculate on female reproductive output and longevity in Photinus fireflies

In many insects, nuptial gifts in the form of spermatophores have been shown to increase female fecundity and to contribute to female somatic maintenance. Examining how variation in male spermatophore size affects female fitness components can provide insight into the evolution of nuptial gifts, as well as insight into potential conflicts between the sexes. Here we present an experimental study on the firefly Photinus obscurellus LeConte, 1851 in which we altered spermatophore size by manipulating male mating history and examined effects on female offspring production and longevity. Females were randomly allocated to one of two mating treatments in which they mated once with a male producing either a large or a small spermatophore. We found that male spermatophore size had no significant effect on lifetime fecundity or daily reproductive rates of female P. obscurellus, but females that received a larger spermatophore showed a tendency toward longer postmating life spans. These results suggest a direct benefit to females from nuptial gifts and also reveal the potential for synergistic effects on multiple facets of female fitness.
Analyse stochastique modale du signal stabilométrique : application à l'étude de l'équilibre chez l'homme

Le systeme tonique postural est le garant d'une posture ideale du corps quel que soit l'environnement. Pour realiser un tel controle, l'organisme utilise plusieurs sources d'informations en provenance des multiples entrees (visuelle, vestibulaire, podale). Ce travail repose sur l'etude du signal stabilometrique. La finalite reside en l'obtention des caracteristiques du systeme generateur. Les enjeux d'une recherche visant a diagnostiquer les problemes lies au systeme tonique postural sont multiples (aide au diagnostic des troubles de l'equilibre chez l'Homme, choix therapeutique, reeducation, modelisation). Les methodes d'analyses classiques ne sont pas suffisantes pour envisager une etude du systeme postural. L'analyse spectrale met, cependant, en evidence la bande de frequence informative. Mais, le signal stabilometrique est non stationnaire et presente une structure complexe. La decomposition (Empirical Mode Decomposition) retenue ne fait aucun a priori. Le signal est decompose en un nombre fini de modalites intrinseques. Les composantes sont des signaux oscillants, a moyenne nulle, module en amplitude et en frequence. L'hypothese etant que chaque modalite est representative d'un processus elementaire associe a une echelle d'analyse temporelle (temps caracteristique). L'interet qu'apporte l'EMD est une analyse fine du signal par un decoupage en bande de frequence distincte. L'originalite de ce travail repose sur l'utilisation de cette decomposition, associee a l'etude des courbes de diffusion. Le choix de la modelisation du comportement des courbes de diffusion des modes permet l'extraction de nouveaux parametres dynamiques sensibles a l'influence des entrees proprioceptives et visuelles. L'ensemble des methodes d'analyse est valide (modele du pendule inverse). L'etude statistique modale du signal stabilometrique pressent la mise en place d'une utilisation en milieu hospitalier sur des sujets presentant des pathologies differentes.
Suppressing Dissipative Paths in Superconducting Coplanar Waveguide Resonators

The electromagnetic environment can have a significant effect on the resonant line-shape and loaded Q-factor of superconducting coplanar waveguides in the low temperature (<; 100 mK) and low microwave power regime. Here, electromagnetic simulations are used to visualize the electric field strength throughout the resonator environment, highlighting situations in which parasitic modes lead to increased dissipation. Methods used to suppress parasitic coupling include increasing the density of wire bonds and vias, reducing the width of the transmission line (whilst maintaining the characteristic impedance at 50 Ω) and establishing strong grounding to the sample enclosure. The effect of reducing the parasitic coupling on the microwave transmission spectrum is reported.
A Genetic Algorithm Based Modification on the LTS Algorithm for Large Data Sets

The authors introduce an algorithm for estimating the least trimmed squares (LTS) parameters in large data sets. The algorithm performs a genetic algorithm search to form a basic subset that is unlikely to contain outliers. Rousseeuw and van Driessen (2006) suggested drawing independent basic subsets and iterating C-steps many times to minimize LTS criterion. The authors 'algorithm constructs a genetic algorithm to form a basic subset and iterates C-steps to calculate the cost value of the LTS criterion. Genetic algorithms are successful methods for optimizing nonlinear objective functions but they are slower in many cases. The genetic algorithm configuration in the algorithm can be kept simple because a small number of observations are searched from the data. An R package is prepared to perform Monte Carlo simulations on the algorithm. Simulation results show that the performance of the algorithm is suitable for even large data sets because a small number of trials is always performed.

Communal Brand Associations as Drivers of Team Identity and Consumer Behavior

ABSTRACT Increasingly, sport management scholars have been examining sport fans and teams through a brand community lens, where fans are viewed as a community of identified consumers. However, there remains a need to further examine the role that sport team brands play in creating a sense of community and the behavioral outcomes this may catalyze. The purpose of this research was twofold: (1) to investigate how communal brand associations influence team identity; and (2) to examine whether team identity mediated the relationship between communal brand associations and behavioral intentions. Utilizing an adapted brand association instrument and multidimensional team identity instrument, we found that communal brand associations significantly influenced team identification. Further, team identity mediated the relationship between communal brand associations and consumer behavior.
Brunneroma: Unusual Case of Gastroduodenal Intussusception

Introduction: Brunner organ hamartoma, otherwise called brunneroma, is a rare benign tumor of the duodenum. These benign tumors can be asymptomatic or can present with obstructive manifestations as well as gastrointestinal bleeding. Intussusception is an uncommon introduction for a brunneroma. ). The distribution of Brunner’s gland hamartomas is duodenal bulb (57%), the second (27%) and third (5%) portions of the duodenum, the pyloric channel (5%), jejunum (2%), and proximal ileum (2%). Case Report: A 55 year old female came to the gastrointestinal surgery division with complain of epigastric pain intermittent, and aggravated by eating food and associated with nonbilious, non-projectile. There was no history of hematemesis, melena, jaundice, weight loss, or anorexia. Radiological investigations were suggestive of gastric outlet obstruction. The patient underwent a distal gastrectomy . A diagnosis of Brunner’s gland adenoma was made on histopathological examination. Conclusion: Our case was unique as an uncommon tumor Brunner's organ hamartoma, rare location: pyloric, around 8 cm, and rare clinical presentation of Gastroduodenal intussusception. In spite of the fact that brunneroma is an uncommon element, it ought to continuously be considered as a differential conclusion of duodenal polypoidal disease. Larger disease can cause Gastroduodenal intussusceptions and can display with obstructive indications. Keyword: Brunner gland hamartoma, Brunneroma, intussusception, obstruction.
Reputation capital as the factor of competitive recovery of Ukrainian enterprises on the international market

Introduction. In today’s market economy, business reputation is becoming a key factor of business competitiveness and the most effective means of promotion, investment and customers attraction. However, in Ukraine the reputation is still not considered as a strategic resource of confidence to the state both among internal and external audiences. The aim of the article is to identify the factors that affect adversely the reputation of Ukrainian enterprises and to prove the necessity to create positive reputation of Ukrainian business, as an important component towards its integration into the world economic space. Conclusions. In this study, we have suggested to consider the reputation of Ukrainian enterprises by the cyclic multi-level system of forming the reputation: reputation of the state – reputation of the region – reputation of the district – reputation of the area – reputation of settlements – reputation of the company – reputation of the state. The inter ference and interconnection of reputation of the state and a single enterprise has been con firmed by the analysis of Ukraine’s positions in key world rankings and the discourse analysis of texts written by the representatives of global financial and international institutions operating in Ukraine. The study defines the negative factors, which affect the reputation of both the state and Ukrainian enterprises.Thus, the formation of reputational economy should become the basis for the implementation of new economic paradigm in Ukraine. The reputation capital should be a major asset in shaping the competitive advantages of Ukrainian business on the international market.
Equivalent Neurogenic Potential of Wild-Type and GFP-Labeled Fetal-Derived Neural Progenitor Cells Before and After Transplantation Into the Rodent Hippocampus

Introduction. The hippocampal formation is a specific structure in the brain where neurogenesis occurs throughout adulthood and in which the neuronal cell loss causes various demential states. The main goal of this study was to verify whether fetal neural progenitor cells (NPCs) from transgenic rats expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) retain the ability to differentiate into neuronal cells and to integrate into the hippocampal circuitry after transplantation. Methods. NPCs were isolated from E14 (gestational age: 14 days postconception) transgenic-Lewis and wild-type Sprague-Dawley rat embryos. Wild-type and transgenic cells were expanded and induced to differentiate into a neuronal lineage in vitro. Immunocytochemical and electrophysiological analysis were performed in both groups. GFP-expressing cells were implanted into the hippocampus and recorded electrophysiologically 3 months thereafter. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed neuronal differentiation, and the yield of neuronal cells was determined stereologically. Results. NPCs derived from wild-type and transgenic animals are similar regarding their ability to generate neuronal cells in vitro. Neuronal maturity was confirmed by immunocytochemistry and electrophysiology, with demonstration of voltage-gated ionic currents, firing activity, and spontaneous synaptic currents. GFP-NPCs were also able to differentiate into mature neurons after implantation into the hippocampus, where they formed functional synaptic contacts. Conclusions. GFP-transgenic cells represent an important tool in transplantation studies. Herein, we demonstrate their ability to generate functional neurons both in vitro and in vivo conditions. Neurons derived from fetal NPCs were able to integrate into the normal hippocampal circuitry. The high yield of mature neurons generated render these cells important candidates for restorative approaches based on cell therapy.
Leptin Responsive and GABAergic Projections to the Rostral Preoptic Area in Mice

The adipocyte‐derived hormone leptin plays a critical role in the control of reproduction via signalling in hypothalamic neurones. The drivers of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal axis, the gonadotrophin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) neurones, do not have the receptors for leptin. Therefore, intermediate leptin responsive neurones must provide leptin‐to‐GnRH signalling. We investigated the populations of leptin responsive neurones that provide input to the rostral preoptic area (rPOA) where GnRH cell bodies reside. Fluorescent retrograde tracer beads (RetroBeads; Lumafluor Inc., Naples, FL, USA) were injected into the rPOA of transgenic leptin receptor enhanced green fluorescent protein (Lepr‐eGFP) reporter mice. Uptake of the RetroBeads by Lepr‐eGFP neurones was assessed throughout the hypothalamus. RetroBead uptake was most evident in the medial arcuate nucleus (ARC), the dorsomedial nucleus (DMN) and the ventral premammillary nucleus (PMV) of the hypothalamus. The uptake of RetroBeads specifically by Lepr‐eGFP neurones was highest in the medial ARC (18% of tracer‐labelled neurones Lepr‐eGFP‐positive). Because neurones that are both leptin responsive and GABAergic play a critical role in the regulation of fertility by leptin, we next focussed on the location of these populations. To address whether GABAergic neurones in leptin‐responsive hypothalamic regions project to the rPOA, the experiment was repeated in GABA neurone reporter mice (Vgat‐tdTomato). Between 10% and 45% of RetroBead‐labelled neurones in the ARC were GABAergic, whereas uptake of tracer by GABAergic neurones in the DMN and PMV was very low (< 5%). These results show that both leptin responsive and GABAergic neurones from the ARC project to the region of the GnRH cell bodies. Our findings suggest that LEPR‐expressing GABA neurones from the ARC may be mediators of leptin‐to‐GnRH signalling.
Arrhythmias and device therapy.

Arrhythmias are an important cause of symptoms, stroke, syncope, and sudden death among cardiovascular patients. Often such events come as a surprise to both physicians and patients. Thus, the prevention of arrhythmic events has become an important part of cardiovascular prevention using both drugs and devices. To help physicians in their clinical practice, the European Society of Cardiology in collaboration with the European Heart Journal has published a series of practice guidelines on this subject such as, for instance, those on cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy1 or on the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). 2 Many papers on cardiac arrhythmias have been published in this journal and the scientific literature at large. The most important of these published in the past year are summarized elegantly in The year in cardiology 2014: arrhythmias and device therapy by Hein Heidbuchel and Gerhard Hindricks from Hasselt, Belgium and Leipzig, Germany.3 The authors stress the fact that electrophysiology remains a growing part of modern cardiology. While technical innovation is a key factor in invasive electrophysiology (for both ablation and device therapy), understanding the mechanisms, natural course, and evaluation of arrhythmias is the cornerstone of progress. The year 2014 brought many novel insights and technical innovations, but also many large-scale studies and trials with relevance to clinical practice. The key findings of these studies are summarized and put into clinical perspective. This review of accomplishments in arrhythmias and devices in 2014 is followed by a Current Opinion article entitled ‘ History taking as a diagnostic test …
Credit Rating and Its Interaction With Financial Ratios

Credit rating evaluates credit worthiness of corporate and securities issued by government. It provides investors with unbiased reviews and opinion about the credit risk of various securities. The main aim of the chapter is to identify the relationship between the financial ratios and rating symbols. The sample of 158 firms is taken into consideration that discriminates best ratings given by credit rating firms. In order to examine the variability in ratings issued by various rating agencies, the time period of eight years starting from April 2009 to March 2017 has been selected. The study employed the multinomial logistic regression model to explain the relationship among the variables. The analysis suggests that variables such as debt to equity ratio, profit after tax, returns on capital employed, and return on net worth are those having the highest impact on ratings and thus there is also discriminating power among Indian rating agencies.
Seeds of distrust: conflict in Uganda

We study the effect of civil conflict on social capital, focusing on Uganda’s experience during the last decade. Using individual and county-level data, we document large causal effects on trust and ethnic identity of an exogenous outburst of ethnic conflicts in 2002–2005. We exploit two waves of survey data from Afrobarometer (Round 4 Afrobarometer Survey in Uganda, 2000, 2008), including information on socioeconomic characteristics at the individual level, and geo-referenced measures of fighting events from ACLED. Our identification strategy exploits variations in the both the spatial and ethnic intensity of fighting. We find that more intense fighting decreases generalized trust and increases ethnic identity. The effects are quantitatively large and robust to a number of control variables, alternative measures of violence, and different statistical techniques involving ethnic and spatial fixed effects and instrumental variables. Controlling for the intensity of violence during the conflict, we also document that post-conflict economic recovery is slower in ethnically fractionalized counties. Our findings are consistent with the existence of a self-reinforcing process between conflicts and ethnic cleavages.
