Improving Performance of Indonesia State-Owned Enterprises Holding; Policies and Strategies
Authors: Utoyo Bambang , Fahmi Marimin, Idqan , Murdanoto Agung Primanto
Published: December 2019

The government has issued several policies to improve the performance of State Owned-Enterprises (SOEs), namely by establishing ABC SOEs or BUMN Holding, providing additional capital, guaranteeing the purchase of ABC SOEs products such as bio ethanol and bio diesel to be purchased by PT Pertamina, excess electricity supply from the sugar mills to be purchased by PT PLN. Meanwhile, ABC SOEs Holding has also implemented a strategy to improve the performance of ABC SOEs Holding and its subsidiaries. Unfortunately, the implementation of those policies and strategies have not been able to improve ABC SOEs Holding performance as expected. We use Soft System Methodology (SSM) as frame work, which is combined with the strategic assumption surfacing and testing (SAST) and interpretive structural modeling (ISM). This study concludes that actions must be taken to improve the performance of ABC SOEs Holding: 1) strengthening of definite legal rules related to SOEs, 2) handling negative issues of plantation products, 3) synergy of holding and subsidiary decision making, 4) independent assessment of holdingâ€™s performance, 5) strengthening subsidiary governance, 6) increasing capability and integrity of human resources, 7) strengthening technological development for production and distribution efficiency, and 8) developing talent pool for innovation improvement.

Published: December 2019

The objective of the study was to develop a process for the production of a protein concentrate based on maggots (MC) of domestic fly larvae that can be used in the diet of non- ruminantsâ€™ animals as pigs and poultry. Maggots were first produced from 3 substrates called S1, S2 and S3. They were then harvested and separated from the substrates using a mesh screen box. Live maggots then incorporated at a rate of 79.15% by weight in a preconcentrate (20.85%) composed by 64.80% of cotton cake and 35.20% of wheat bran. The resulting MC was then heated in a pan for 5-10 minutes to neutralize the maggots and dried for 24 hours. The results show that the productivity of the S3 substrate (4.91g of maggots / 100g of substrate) was significantly lower than the substrates S1 (6.60g / 100g) and S2 (5.35g / 100g) (p <0.05). The DM content of the MC was 92.56%. Its nutritional values were 37.69% CP, 5.12% FAT and 11.04% CB. The estimated value in digestible energy was 2238 kcal / kg DM. The production cost of 01kgDM of MC of 160FCFA was lower than 240FCFA of the selling price of fishmeal and soya cake (400FCFA) in the local market. MC is an alternative to make low cost protein sources more available. Further studies would evaluate the essential amino acid content of the concentrate and the effectiveness of diets incorporating it into poultry and pigsâ€™ production.Â

Published: December 2019

Hong Kong is a key leading economy in the Asia Pacific region. This study examines the relationship between the financial health, as measured by the Altman Z-Score, and corporate performance, as measured by the Return on Equity (ROE), of listed manufacturing companies in this market. A linear regression has been conducted between these variables to determine the magnitude and direction of their relationships. The trends of Z-Scores over a five-year period have also been analysed. The analysis covers the period from 2013 to 2017 (inclusive) and yields a statistically positive correlation between ROE and the Z-Score for the market. Hong Kong registered relatively healthy mean and median Z-Scores. These findings further support the strong economic position of this market as an Asian giant.Â

Authors: Kanyinji Peter , Tembo Gelson
Published: December 2019

There has been lots of questions on why there is continued escalating poverty levels in Zambia despite the presence of the commercial activities from the mining global value chain. These commercial activities would be helpful in linking small & medium enterprises (SMEs) to participate in the high grade market and supply for sustainable income. Unfortunately, there are barriers of entry that limit supplier entry and participation. The Zambian mines are marred with such barriers as tax compliance, registration processes, licensing requirements, technology upgrade, standards requirements, capacity requirements, managerial competencies, competition barriers and financial constraints. The main objective of the study was to perform a regression analysis and establish the predictor barriers to supplier participation. A survey questionnaire with 350 respondents showed a Cronbach reliability test of 0.812 indicating a good internal consistence. Further Statistics from the SPSS output show the following p-values; tax (0.036), standards (0.033), individual capacity (0.01), financial capital (0.00) as predictors of supplier participation to the mines while registration (0.524), licensing (.267), technology upgrade (.079), managerial skills (.853) and competition (.383) showing that they are not predictors of suppliersâ€™ participation to the mines.Â  This means that tax, standards, individual capacity and financial capital sit statistically significant and influence the functioning of the mining value chain

Influence of Empty Fruit Bunch Stalk and Spikelet Fibres on the Mechanical Properties of Cement-stabilised Soil
Authors: Yakum Reneta Nafu , Foba-Tendo Josepha , Njeugna Ebenezer
Published: December 2019

The performance of natural-fibre reinforced cement stabilized soil prepared differently with stalk and spikelet from empty fruit bunch (EFB) was investigated. Standard test specimens were prepared with fibre loading varied from 0 to 3.0wt% and tested in compression and flexure for cured strength after 7 and 28 days. The densities of the composites were also determined. The test results are compared for cement stabilized soil without fibre additions as well as between reinforcement with stalk or spikelet fibre. The introduction of fibres prominently improves the compressive and bending strength of the composites, suggesting possibilities of reducing cement additions by introducing natural fibre reinforcements. The improvement for spikelet fibre reinforced soil is consistently higher for spikelet fibres than for stalk fibre. The separation and differentiated use of stalk and spikelet presents the possibility of enhancing the sustainability of recycling EFB for competing uses in nutrient recycling and natural fibre production.

Sociocultural Barriers to Womenâ€™s Political Leadership in the North Region of Cameroon
Authors: Michael Taoyang Warai
Published: December 2019

AbstractThe issue of gender studies in general and womenâ€™s political leadership is increasingly gaining impetus in scientific discourse in Cameroon in general and in the north region in particular. Despite comprising of more than half the north region population, Women are more active in politics as voters and helpers for activities related to politics, and specifically political leadership in the north region of Cameroon. They perform the majority of campaign activities linked to mobilisations. Yet across the north region, women face an array of barriers to achieving their full potential in political leadership, from restrictive cultural practices to discriminatory traditional laws and highly segmented familial division of labour. This paper addresses the various social and cultural barriers that drag women backward as far as political leadership and decision making are concerned. From the onset of democracy in Cameroon, cultural barriers, social and religious cumbersome limits womenâ€™s entry in political leadership.
The Laicity of the State in Situation in Cameroon: Between Constant Interferences of Politics and Religious and Doubtful Neutrality of the State
Authors: Guy Atangana Mvogo Florent
Published: December 2019

Cameroon has constitutionally taken the option of secularism. But in everyday life, we see that politics and religion are strongly intertwined through interference, sometimes combination and sometimes pathology. In addition, the supposed neutrality of the state vis-Ã -vis the religious suggests that some actors in the religious segment are privileged over others.
Oil Exploitation and Constitutional Protection of the Environment in Chad
Authors: Dar Didegomi
Published: December 2019

The study on oil exploitation and constitutional protection of the environment in Chad aims to show that despite the constitutional consideration of fundamental rights to the environment, environmental protection remains problematic. This is because the constitutional texts of protections are often ambiguous, incomplete, scattered and derisory. Also, the fact that environmental law is part of the rights-claims which in general are only addressed to the attention of the public authorities, poses a real problem as to its justiciability. Therefore, the right to the environment does not enjoy the same degree of jurisdictional protection as other rights. As a result, they often have no direct effect. Thus, in the oil exploitation framework, the environmental protection offered by the Chadian constitution, could only be insufficient except recourse to the activation of the ordinary ways of right.

Role of Sudden Application or Withdrawal of Magnetic Field on MHD Couette Flow
Authors: Jha B.K. , Oni M.O.
Published: December 2019

This article investigates the impact of a sudden application or sudden withdrawal of a magnetic field on an unsteady MHD Couette flow formation in a parallel plate channel. The governing momentum equation is derived and solved exactly in Laplace domain using the Laplace transform technique with the necessary initial and boundary conditions to capture the present physical situation for the cases; sudden application or sudden withdrawal of a magnetic field. Due to the complexity of the solution obtained, the Riemann-sum approximation technique is used to transform the Laplace domain to time domain. During the course of graphical and tabular representations, results show that the Hartmann number, time and nature of application of a magnetic field play an important role in the transition from hydrodynamic to magnetohydrodynamic flow and vice-versa. Also, fluid velocity steady-state solution is independent on whether the magnetic field is fixed relative to the moving plate or to the fluid for sudden withdrawal of magnetic field. In addition, the application of a sudden magnetic field leads to a delay in the attainment of steady-state solution.

On the Fractography and Some Strength Properties of Fe-Based Sintered Materials with Multicomponent Oxide Microadditives
Authors: Feldshtein E. , Michalski M. , Adamczuk K. , Dyachkova L.
Published: December 2019

In the present paper, the effect of alumina and zirconia microadditives on the compressive strength and flexural strength of sintered Fe-based powder materials is shown. It was found that intercrystalline fractures, both plastic and brittle, are observed when bending. During compression, fractures are observed too, as well as flaking of thin near-surface layers. The intensity of such flaking depends on the composition of the sintered material. Strength parameters of the materials studied also depend on additives composition and quantity. The lowest parameters are observed for a material that contains 1% alumina particulates. The compressive strength of a material containing zirconia particulates increases 3 times and the flexural strength 2 times.

Authors: Eevon C. , Halimah M.K. , Azlan M.N. , El-Mallawany R. , Hii S.L.
Published: December 2019

New glass samples with composition (1 – x)[(TeO2)70(B2O3)30] – x(Gd2O3) with x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 in mol% have been synthesized by conventional melt-quenching techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies were performed in order to confirm the amorphous nature of the samples. The density of the samples has been found to vary with the Gd2O3 content, whereas an opposite trend has been observed in the molar volume. The analysis of Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy of the samples showed that the glass network is mainly built of TeO3, TeO4, BO3 and BO4 units. The addition of Gd2O3 changed the refractive index, optical band gap and Urbach energy of the glass samples. The thermal properties of the studied glasses were investigated by measuring the thermal diffusivity of the samples by using photoflash method at room temperature.

Variability in Legal Culture under the Influence of Negative Social Phenomena
Authors: Shumkin Evgeny M.
Published: December 2019

Under the influence of various social phenomena and disasters in society, the architecture of social, cultural, legal and spiritual values tends to change. Over the recent years, the importance of old-fashioned moral fabric, the need to achieve moral benefits has been challenged, and the main task of the people today is to overcome the dependence on negative social phenomena and eliminate their consequences. Social phenomena such as war and famine has accompanied human civilization throughout its history, which was invariably reflected in literature (mythology) at the early dawn of human civilization. However, the analysis of the effects of social disasters on all spheres of human life has not been conducted yet, especially on a global scale. This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the variability of legal culture, behavior, emotional life of individuals under the influence of certain social phenomena, such as war and revolution, famine and epidemic. The analysis is based on the monograph of Pitirim Sorokin “Man and society in conditions of social disasters”. Interest in legal culture as a social phenomenon and process devoted, at different times, sociologists such as Anthony Giddens, L. Petrazhitsky, O. Comte, G. Spencer, Max Weber, Javier Trevigno, Alfred Whitehead.
Using the descriptive form of the presentation of the material, the author of the article describes the main sociological concepts used as part of the definitive apparatus of P. A. Sorokin in this monograph. The main factors that change social processes under the pressure of these social phenomena are formulated. Changes in the socio-cultural organization of society in the dynamics are considered. In the sociological aspect, the nomological culture and the degree of its volatility under the pressure of wars and revolutions, famines and epidemics are touched upon. The objective of this article is to correctly perceive the destructive impact of negative social phenomena on the values of the individual in particular and society as a whole. The aim of the work is to analyze the causes of such influence. The actualization of the four social ills listed by Pitirim Sorokin in modern reality has not lost its social significance at the present time. Although in the time described by the author (the twenties – forties of the XX century), the epidemic was only a satellite of war or famine, and in the modern world such support has ceased to be mandatory. The latter, too, shows its allied solidarity and importance only in the presence of war. Therefore, in modern historical segments, it almost does not appear. The key and interesting problem, highlighting which we will debate the arguments of Pitirim Sorokin, is the legal culture as a separate social phenomenon, which is directly dependent on the depth and catastrophic scale of the war or revolution, famine and epidemic.

Published: December 2019

In the world theory and practice, investment and project analysis is based on cost-benefit analysis, aimed at assessing commercial and economic efficiency of investment projects. The existing methodologies, guidelines and regulations used by state authorities in different countries to select investment projects for the provision of state support measures include the main aspects and criteria of cost-benefit analysis, but at the same time, contain a number of significant drawbacks. The author has developed a new selection methodology for investment projects to provide state support measures, taking into account imperfections of the existing methodological approaches as well as criteria of the applicable regulations, which is recommended for practices in the territory of the Russian Federation. The article provides the examples on how to adapt it and a comparative analysis of the results of the investment project selection.

Published: December 2019

Safety and soundness of banks is an important condition and essential factor for successful economic development of any country. Although considerable research has been carried out on the banking system, only a few studies were entirely devoted to the analysis of the factors effecting the capital structure of commercial banks which is indispensable for their efficient operation. The article provides a brief comparative analysis of the resources of commercial banks in Russia and China. It showed the similarity of the resource structure of the banks of two countries. The analysis of studies on the factors affecting the capital structure of commercial banks of these countries has been carried out. It has been revealed that there is a growing research interest in the study of the factors affecting the capital structure of commercial banks. However, in China the studies are trying to identify mechanisms for the managing factors whereas in Russia they are intended to find managerial solutions to increase the growth rate of the economy by increasing the capital of commercial banks.
İleri evre keratokonuslu olgularda yeni nesil intraoküler lens implantasyonları
Authors: KARAARSLAN Cüneyt
Published: December 2019

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, ileri evre
keratokonuslu hastalarda, kollajen çapraz bağlama (CXL) uygulanan veya
uygulanmayan intra-korneal halka (ICR) cerrahili hastaların ve bunu takip eden
kalıcı lens yerleştirme işlemlerinin sonuçlarının karşılaştırılması amaçlandı. Yöntem: Kollajen çapraz bağlama
uygulanan veya uygulanmayan Keraring® ICR takılmış keratokonuslu, ve daha
sonradan daha iyi görme netliği için gereksinim gösteren uygun vakalara yeni
nesil IOL implantasyonu da yapılan 1068 hastayı 
kapsayan 7 yıllık ardışık bir vaka serisinin retrospektif klinik gözlem
çalışması tamamlandı. Görme keskinliği, göz içi basıncı ve komplikasyonları
değerlendirmek için takip muayeneleri, ameliyat sonrası, 3 gün, 3 hafta, 3 ay,
6 ay ve 1 yıl sonunda gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular:
Intrakorneal halka 607 göze yalnız, 111 göze yeni nesil ICL ve 198 göze yeni
nesil multifokal katlanır PCIOL ile implante edildi. Yardımcı CXL uygulaması,
957 ICR-gözde yalnız, 119 gözde ICR + yeni nesil ICL ile ve 144 gözde ICR +
yeni nesil multifocal katlanır PCIOL ile uygulandı. Tüm tedavi planları,
hastaların refraksiyon değerlerinde ve kornea eğriliğinde azalmaya neden oldu
ve görme keskinliğini büyük ölçüde iyileştirdi. Tüm gözlerde kornea
topografisindeki dikliklerde  belirgin
bir düzleşme izlendi. ICR ekstrüzyonuna bağlı kornea tahrişi 18 gözde (%0.8)
ICR eksplantasyonuna yol açtı. 3 hastada, ICL implantasyonu uygulaması
nedeniyle kısa süreli göz içi basıncı yükselmesi görüldü ve toplam 200 ml
%2’lik mannitol ile çözüldü (100 ml ICL implantasyonu sırasında ve post-op 100
ml ilave olarak). Sonuç: İleri evre
keratokonuslu hastalarda, CXL ve ICR kombinasyonuna ek olarak yeni nesil fakik
ya da  yeni nesil katlanır pseudofakik
göz içi lenslerin cerrahi implantasyonu, çok daha iyi bir görme keskinliği ve
rehabilitasyonu sağlayabilmektedir. Bu sebeple, bu cerrahi uygulamalar, uygun
ileri evre keratokonuslu hastalarda daha 
invazif, pahalı ve doku reddi riski gibi tehlikelere sahip olan
keratoplasti girişimlerine göre önceden davranıldığında çok daha iyi seçenekler
sunmaktadır.
Synthesis, characterization, and catecholase mimic activity of a new 1D Cu(II) polymer constructed from iminodiacetate

Published: December 2019

In this work, we report the synthesis of one-dimensional copper(II) coordination polymer [Cu(ida)(H2O)2]n (1) (H2ida = iminodiacetic acid). The polymer is characterized by different spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, EPR, UV-visible, luminescence, TGA, and PXRD) along with the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (SCXRD). The SCXRD study shows that 1 crystallizes in an orthorhombic system with the Pbca space group and adopts a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. 1 possesses a 1D chain structure further packed into 2D supramolecular architectures by O⋯H interactions. The FTIR spectrum of 1 ascertains the binding modes of the ligands. The EPR spectral analysis shows an isotropic signal at g = 2.09, indicating a Jahn—Teller distortion of the Cu2+ (d9) ion. Further, 1 exhibits a catecholase-like activity in methanol. It can easily oxidize the 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (3,5-DTBC) substrate to its respective quinone. The polymer shows a significant catalytic activity with Kcat = 214.66 h–1.

Впервые исследована работа актюаторов на основе ионного полимер-металлического композита, в которых в качестве материала полимерной мембраны выступает отечественный полимер МФ-4СК, обеспечивающий ряд преимуществ по сравнению с зарубежным аналогом (Нафионом). Несмотря на известный эффект снижения ионной подвижности, композит демонстрирует усиление актюационных характеристик: увеличение амплитуды отклонения мембраны и блокирующей силы под действием как постоянного, так и синусоидального напряжения.
Descripción anátomo-funcional de un suicidio por consumo adictivo de inhalables, estudio de caso post-mortem
Authors: Silva Rodrigues Charles Ysaacc Da , Olivares Peña Jorge Luís , Carvalho de Figueiredo Paula Alexandra
Published: December 2019

Introduction: the evidence mentions that the abuse of inhalants can cause alterations in the reuptake of dopamine, fundamentally in the mesolimbic system, the responsible structure of reward system and consequently of the addiction. Objective: the objective of the research was to investigate the relationship between the consumption of inhalants and suicide, through a retrospective post-mortem analysis. Method: the method used was a case study, with a qualitative approach of descriptive design, evaluated through the use of psychological autopsy and an in-depth interview, of the particular case of a suicide victim by hanging, of a 20-year-old male, consumer of inhalants. Results: thus, neuroanatomical alterations in the prefrontal cortex (ventromedial and orbitolateral), anterior cingulate cortex, basolateral nucleus of the amygdala, subthalamic nucleus and nucleus accumbens were verified, which, probably, could have had some influence on their suicidal behavior. Discussion and conclusion: altered structures directly and indirectly affect the mesolimbic system, and are related to low tolerance to failure, persistence in actions aimed at minimizing the results of social behaviors, ideation and magical thoughts in relation to their religious beliefs, and verbal disinhibition, which, probably, may have influenced on his suicidal behavior.
