Gender, Culture and the Division of Household Labor: A Replication of U.S. Studies for the Case of Switzerland
Authors: Charles Maria , Höpflinger Francois
Published: October 2019

In this study, the empirical validity of three models of domestic task-sharing was evaluated for a sample of young Swiss couples. Variables measuring spouses’ relative social and economic resources were found to have little impact on the division of labor, and sex role traditionality was found to have only a moderate effect. The variable with the strongest independent impact on Swiss husbands’ domestic participation was the presence of children. Contrary to the results of most recent U.S. studies, however, sex role patterns were found to be more traditional in families with children. Men, furthermore, shared somewhat less in domestic chores the longer they had been married. Net of these factors, wives’ labor force participation was found to have little effect on the division of labor in these families. Results point to the importance of family cyclic processes, and suggest that cultural factors may mediate the relationship between particular variables and the household division of labor.
Indo-Canadian Families Historical Constraints and Contemporary Contradictions
Authors: Basran G. S.
Published: October 2019

Immigrants from India arrived in Canada circa 1900. About 95 percent of early immigrants came from the Punjab State of India and were of the Sikh religion. Their entry into Canada, as well as their stay in Canada, were controlled by various immigration policies and social, economic, and political constraints.

This paper examines historical conditions, structural constraints, and the Canadian immigration policies which shaped the Indo-Canadian families in Canada. The main role of the family is to produce and reproduce labour for the capitalist system. The family is also the place where individuals are socialized, protected, and supported as they adapt to external constraints.

The main focus of the paper is to understand the structure, function, and contradictions in the institution of the family in regard to historical conditions and contemporary social, political, and economic forces.
Intrafamiliar Congruence in Gender-Role Ideology: Husband-Wife Versus Parents-Offspring
Authors: Kulik Liat
Published: October 2019

The study examined intrafamiliar congruence (i.e., mother-father and parent-offspring) in gender role ideology (gender role attitudes and sex-typing of occupations) among a sample of Israeli fathers, mothers, and adolescent offspring (n=134 in each group). The findings revealed a relatively high correlation between spouses for gender role attitudes, but only a moderate correlation for sex-typing of occupations, Similarly, a moderate correlation was found between parents and offspring in both aspects of gender role ideology. Out of all family members, mothers expressed the most liberal gender role ideology, whereas fathers were the most conservative. Moreover, a correlation was found between religiosity and gender role ideology. In addition, mothers of Asian-African origin and their husbands expressed more gender role attitudes than did mothers born in other countries. Among all family members, gender role attitudes and occupational sex-typing were interrelated
Keeping Children Healthy: The Challenge of Preventive Care Among Women in Southwestern Nigeria
Authors: Pearce Tola Olu
Published: October 2019

The study analyzes lay preventive health care for children in a provincial town in Southwestern Nigeria. Data were collected among 36 market women who had all raised children. This sample is a subset of a larger study on health care among low income women in Yoruba land. Both personal interviews and observations were used in the methodology. Within the Nigerian context, health care activities occur within a deteriorating economic environment and a pluralistic medical sector both of which have been on the decline since the mid- 1980s. The study found that women work hard to prevent illness among children, often using more than one medical system in child care. The consequences of declining medical and physical environments were analyzed. Local or indigenous drugs were reviewed. Finally, problems arising from the simultaneous use of several systems were discussed.
The Impact of Labor Migration on African Families in South Africa: Yesterday and Today
Authors: Smit Ria
Published: October 2019

Kinship systems and the various types of social support they offer in reducing the short-term costs of settlement in the country of destination have generated a great deal of interest during the last two decades. This study examines the kinship networks of recent Mexican immigrant women to the eastern end of the Texas/Mexico (The Gulf Coast) border. For purposes of the present study kinship networks are conceptualized as linking, otherwise, individual economic actors seeking social mobility in the United States, to stable social structures alone, both sides of the U.S./Mexico border. Attention is given to the resources that flow across linkages and their consequences for the success or failure of the migration process. Participant observation and in-depth interviews are used in studying network ties of recent Mexican immigrant women. Forty-four complete dyads consisting of twenty-two immigrant women and at least one kin participated in the study during a two-year period. Whenever possible additional kin members were also interviewed. Findings reported here indicate that binational networks operate on both sides of the border offering protection to newcomers, mainly undocumented workers, and facilitating their incorporation into the informal economic sector of the border economy. Moreover, for many immigrant women both sending and receiving networks were found within the country of origin. Reasons other than economic need were found to be important to the migration process. Results point to the socioeconomic diversity of the Mexican women who are migrating to the U.S. Mexico border area.
Migration and Old Age: Japanese Women Growing Older in British Society
Authors: Izuhara Misa , Shibata Hiroshi
Published: October 2019

In the article “Migrants, partner selection and integration: crossing borders?” Erna Hooghiemstra analysis why so many Dutch Turks and Moroccans who have spent their youth or their young adulthood in the Netherlands, have chosen to marry a partner who still lives in the country of origin. The objective is to explore the extend to which the high rate of transnational marriages can be explained by (a lack of) integration on the one hand or by factors that are usually put forward as influencing partnerselection - such as the opportunity to meet, the structure and character of the social network and individual processes of rational choice - from the other hand.

The statistical comparison between those Turkish and Moroccan who married a so called marriagemigrant and those who married a partner from the Netherlands shows that the two groups differ significantly from each other. Also: the motives of men and women to marry across the border seem to be very distinct. Some differences between the two types of partnerchoices can be explained by integration theories others by general partnerchoice theories.

The general conclusion is that understanding of the partnerchoice of migrants goes beyond the boundary of knowlegde of integration processes as well as general processes of partnerselection. The important implication is that integration alone can’t explain the partnerchoice of migrants and that a general perspective on partnerchoice without considering the specific background of migrants is too limited to understand the partnerchoice of migrants.
Beyond Power and Control: Towards an Understanding of Partner Abusive Men
Authors: Rosenbaum Alan , Leisring Penny A.
Published: October 2019

It is well known that children exposed to interparental aggression have serious adverse consequences both in childhood and in their adult intimate relationships. These include a host of emotional and behavioral problems, as well as an increased risk of perpetration, especially for males, in adulthood. However, with the exception of exposure to violence in the family of origin, developmental variables have generally escaped empirical scrutiny. This investigation explored the early childhood experiences of partner abusive men, with an emphasis on post-traumatic stress disorder and oppositional-defiant disorder. The results show that both were significantly associated with the severity and frequency of partner abuse. The findings confirmed the well- established relationship between growing up in a violent home and future perpetration but also suggested the importance of defects in the parentchild bond to the development of intimate partner violence. Batterers received significantly less love, and more punishment from their mothers, and less attention from their fathers, than did men in a general population comparison group. These results reinforce the importance of childhood experiences in the etiology of relationship aggression and also encourage us that early risk markers can be identified. This is an important preliminary step in the development of preventive interventions.
Child Poverty and Family Structure in Canada, 1981-1997
Authors: Kerr Don , Beaujot Roderic
Published: October 2019

This paper examines the relationship between family structure and child poverty in Canada over the 1981-1997 period. While recognizing the many methodological and conceptual difficulties encountered in efforts to document child poverty over time, two alternate indicators are used, Statistics Canada’s official low income cut-offs, and an alternate indicator of “deep poverty”. Using the Survey of Consumer Finances (1981, 1989 and 1997), trends in low income are considered, along with concurrent changes in the structure of Canadian families with children. Particular attention is paid to trends in the incidence of lone parenthood, the number of children per family, and the age of parents (as an indicator of recent shifts in the timing of childbearing). Overall, these changes are found to have offsetting effects on the incidence of child poverty, such that irrespective of a substantial growth in the incidence of lone parenthood, the overall impact of changes in family composition has been relatively modest.
Attitudes Toward Marriage Among the Urban Middle-Class in Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines
Authors: Williams Lindy , Guest Michael Philip
Published: October 2019

This research examines current attitudes toward marriage among urban middle class women and men in Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. Twenty-four focus group interviews were conducted among older ever-married and younger never-married participants in Hanoi, Bangkok, and Manila. Statistical data indicate that there has been a general upward trend in age at first marriage and increasing percentages of non-marriage among certain urban sub-groups in many parts of Asia. One central argument in the literature is that greater economic independence among women may be largely responsible. A second hypothesis is that unfavorable economic circumstances may affect marriage timing, particularly for men. Our interviews provide support for both hypotheses. They also suggest that both men and women still largely view the institution of marriage as important in general, as well as personally. This is especially true in Vietnam, where marriage is seen as a filial duty, in addition to being desirable in its own right. In the Philippines, it remains important to bless the marriage, but because divorce remains illegal many men and women now prefer to delay marriage (or prefer to have their children delay marriage) in order to be sure they have found the right partner. In Thailand, participants viewed marriage favorably on balance. Nonetheless, there was also explicit recognition that marriage is no longer a financial necessity for women and that there can be considerable downsides to marriage, including constraints on personal freedom. This was seen as particularly true for men, but also for women.
Does Family Policy Environment Moderate the Effect of Single-Parenthood on Children’s Academic Achievement? A Study of 14 European Countries
Authors: Hampden-Thompson Gillian , Pong Suet-Ling
Published: October 2019

This paper examines whether national family and welfare policies reduce or exacerbate the effects of single-parenthood on a child’s educational achievement. Using the Third International Math and Science Study (TIMSS), we compare 5th grade students from English single-parent families with their counterparts from 13 other European countries. The analysis results suggest that the achievement gap between students from two-parent and single-parent families is far greater in England than it is in all other countries, with the exception of Scotland. The evidence provided in this study suggests that a nation’s family policy environment plays an important role in moderating the influence of single-parenthood on children’s academic achievement.
Inter-Racial Marriage and Family Socio-economic Status: A Study among Whites, Filipinos, Japanese, and Hawaiians in Hawaii
Authors: Fu Xuanning
Published: October 2019

Intermarriage is often regarded as a positive sign of racial relations. This study uses census 2000 5% PUMS data from Hawaii to test the hypothesis that status exchange in intermarriage is related to lower family income and higher chances of living in poverty for low SES racial groups. Endogamous Whites and Japanese have highest income and lowest probability of living in poverty while the opposite is found for endogamous Hawaiians and Filipinos. Inter-married couples are usually between these two extremes in income and chances of being poor, except intermarried Whites and Japanese who are comparable to endogamous Whites and Japanese. It is argued that intermarriage actually helps to preserve social classes that separate the rich and the poor along racial lines.

Published: October 2019

Formal research on family strengths in the Southeast Asian region outside of Australia is scant. Specifically, no known family strengths measures have been developed or adapted for the purpose of measuring family strengths in Malaysia. In the present study, exploratory component analysis (Gorsuch, 1997) was used to compare the component structures of the Australian Inventory of Family Strengths (AIFS) scale for a rural population of Malay families from Malaysia (n = 200), and those from the original Australian sample (n = 605) as reported in the Australian Family Strengths Research Project (Geggie et al., 2000). Initial findings from principal component analysis with varimax (orthogonal) rotation indicated similar but not identical primary component structures for both samples. Upon further analysis, correlation results indicated that the factor components of the Australian sample did not replicate particularly well for the Malaysian sample, with only one out of four components demonstrating a significant level of invariance. For further research, the authors suggest a Malaysian version of the AIFS to be developed along the same lines as the Australian version of the instrument, i.e., by first using focus group data with Malaysian families to determine the specific constructs of strong families specific to the Malaysian cultural context.
The Significance of Cross-Border Marriage in a Low Fertility Society: Evidence from Taiwan
Authors: Chen Yu-Hua
Published: October 2019

Few efforts have been made to explore two emerging demographic features, the extra low fertility of the Taiwanese population, and a rapid increase in cross-border marriages. The objective of this research is to provide comparative estimates of fertility outcomes of marriage immigrants from Mainland China, Southeast Asia, and other countries. Through exploring the 2003 Survey of Foreign and Mainland Chinese Spouses’ Living Conditions, this study gives us a first glimpse of how prevalent cross-border marriages are in Taiwanese society. While the headlines tend to portray an image that only old veterans and minority rural men are likely to marry an immigrant, the findings indeed show that an increased number of Taiwanese men have adopted cross-border marriage as an alternative. The fertility results reveal a singularly important conclusion: the substantial number of babies born to immigrant mothers has made an important contribution to total fertility rates in recent years. Despite an increasing anxiety concerning the quantity of newborns from foreign and Mainland Chinese mothers, this research shows that the average number of children born to a marriage immigrant is still lower than the replacement level. By examining the sex ratios of recent newborns from cross-border marriages, it is evident that some couples may have a strong preference for a son. This unexpected outcome deserves more observation and research from policymakers and researchers.
The Structural Influence of Family Size on Children’s Use of Physician Services

The relationships between family size and physician services received by children are documented using data from a recent national survey in the United State. Alternative models of “explanation” and “interpretation” are employed to explore the nature of these relationships. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings as well as directions for future research are discussed.
Family Practice and the Family: A Sociological View
Authors: Bruce John A.
Published: October 2019

Family practice medicine is an increasingly important part of contemporary medical education and practice. “The family in the community” as the unit of health care is a concept that is at once ancient and contemporary; to translate such an idea from theory to practice, however, is a complex task. While medical education largely accepts the potential contribution of the social and behavioral sciences, the practical value of these disciplines must also be demonstrated. Medical education will have an increasing need for health-oriented social socientists who can work with medical professionals in developing the ability to view the family and the community as something more than artificial constructs. Physicians and other medical personnel will also benefit from a greater knowledge of modal or “normal” family organization and interaction, as well as developing insight into families under stress. The attention currently being given to family practice medicine is an important opportunity to promote a more collegial view of health care; it is also a challenge to the social sciences.
Attitudes Toward Marital Infidelity: A Nine-Culture Sampling of University Student Opinion
Authors: Christensen Harold T.
Published: October 2019

Cross-cultural comparisons of attitudes toward marital infidelity are based upon questionnaire data from nine colleges and universities located in parts of Asia, Europe, and United States. For the most part, the study was carried out in 1968. With three of the cultures this was a replication of a 1958 investigation, which made time comparisons also possible. Extramarital coitus was totally rejected by more than half of all respondents, but proportions taking this position varied across the cultures from less than onetenth to about nine-tenths. Rejection (the conservative or restrictive position) was disproportionately higher in the Asian and religious cultures, higher for females than males, higher with respondents who had not experienced premarital coitus, higher with each assumed increase in competing commitment, and higher in 1958 than in 1968. Furthermore, as a general rule, rejection of extramarital coitus and acceptance of the double sex standard were found to go together.
Working their Way Out of Poverty? Gendered Employment in Three Welfare States
Authors: Baker Maureen
Published: October 2019

Governments increasingly view earning and saving as the main solutions to low-income and debt, but is it feasible to expect all parents to work their way out of poverty? This paper compares gendered patterns of income, and state support for earning and caring in three similar welfare states: Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Relying on recent OECD statistics and national studies, the paper examines employment patterns, poverty rates and state support, noting similarities but also wide variations by gender, family configuration and country. The paper argues that increases in female employment have modified household incomes but the changes have been insufficient to counteract gendered patterns of unpaid work and the challenges women face when parenting alone. Especially mothers find themselves working in low-paid jobs with little hope of job mobility and their economic circumstances often vary by marital status and levels of state support. In Canada and New Zealand, few lone mothers can work their way out of poverty but Australia offers longer support for mothering at home and enhanced in-work benefits that reduce poverty rates.
Maintenance of the Extended Family in Urban Areas of Argentina, Brazil and Chile

Published: October 2019

The objectives of the study are : (1) to ascertain the concomitants of nuclear and extended families in industrializing societies, and (2) to determine cross-societal regularities regarding these factors. The analysis was based on data collected in sample surveys of three metro pol itan areas : Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, and Santiago. The variables considered in the investigation are: age, social status, foreign extraction, migration, and social mobility. Multiple discriminant analysis is used to determine the effects of the five variables, when taken simultaneously. They account for more than 50 per cent of correct classification of nuclear and extended families in three cities. It is concluded that the model used predicts family composition in these urbanizing societies, satisfactorily. However, a common configuration of factors relatad to three-generation households is not found across societies. Although no common pattern is ascertained, each variable is significant in one city or the other. The importance of each specific element may be related to the stage in which these societies are in the formation of their urban-industrial structures. In the process of societal change migration is significant for the nuclearity of the family in two cities and is third most important in the other urban center studied. The relevance of this phenomenon confirms expectations since migration is an intrinsic part of urbanization.
English-Canadian and French-Canadian Attitudes Toward Women: Results of the Canadian Gallup Polls
Authors: Boyd Monica
Published: October 2019

This paper examines the reaction of French and English mother tongue respondents to a variety of questions on women which were asked in the Gallup Polls between 1964. and 1973. These questions probe attitudes toward: 1) the acceptability of female physicians, lawyers and politicians; 2) the acceptability of married women working, both with and without family obligations; and 3) equality between men and women and the women’s liberation move ment. The analysis reveals that French mother tongue respondents tend to be more egalitarian than English mother tongue respondents with respect to women occupying male sex-typed occupations and with respect to equality in the public sector. However, once the mother and husband roles are involved, French Canadians are more likely than Anglo-Canadians to concur with the traditional stance that women should remain at home and husbands should be dominant. The analysis also reveals that for both mother tongue groups, differences in responses by sex exist, with women generally being slightly more egalitarian in their attitudes than males. However, the interaction between sex and language which was noted by Hobart iri his study of marital relations is virtually absent.
Polyandry among the Yanomama Shirishana
Authors: Peters John F. , Hunt Chester L.
Published: October 2019

This paper is based on a study of the practice of polyandry among the Shirishana, a Yanomama tribe in the Amazon forest area of northwest Brazil. Its purpose is to compare the factors related to Shirishana polyandry with those indicated by the general literature on the subject.

The literature frequently associates polyandry with a simple horticultural economy, with a heavy importance upon family life identity, and with a population with a low sex ratio. These assumptions were borne out in the Shirishana case study. Other common assumptions, evidenced in reseach, however, were not sustained. These included the hypothesis that plural marriage is a minority practice in any society; that polyandry is used by a wealthy class to maintain its status; that polyandry is associated with extremely adverse economic conditions; that polyandry increases female status;that polyandry is the preferred marriage form by either men or women.
Intensification of gas production from fields with unstable reservoirs

Published: October 2019

The negative consequences of sand removal from the reservoir and methods of preventing the formation of sand plugs at the bottom of wells are indicated. According to the results of research on the well model, the minimum required gas velocities have been experimentally determined for the removal of sand particles of three different fractions. The optimal concentrations of foaming surface active substances (surfactants) and stabilizers in aqueous solutions have been chosen in order to obtain stable foam for sand plugs flushing on the wells. There has been experimentally set the velocity of the foam with the addition and without the addition of a foam stabilizer for the transfer of solid particles from the well. Two compositions of foaming surfactants and stabilizers have been developed, one of which is proposed for sand plugs flushing at the bottom of the well, and the other – for dosed injection into the annulus of the well to prevent accumulation of the solid phase at the bottom.Theoretical studies have substantiated the choice of the well bore diameter in the gas-bearing formation zone depending on the well productivity and determined the optimal values of the thickness and permeability of the gravel pack in the bottom hole zone of the well with unstable reservoirs, which prevent sand from passing the formation to the well. Theoretical studies have substantiated a rational correlation of diameters of tubing, columns of flexible pipes and the flow rate of the flushing agent for washing the sand plug in the wells with various flushing agents. The composition of the slurry solution has been chosen to create a cement stone with high values of strength and permeability in the bottomhole formation zone. To increase the efficiency and reduce the time and costs there has been proposed a device for the destruction of sand plugs, which consists of a housing with a check valve. A patent-protected design of the device for repairing the lower part of the production casing, damaged as a result of erosion destruction by particles of formation sand, has been proposed. An improved technology for improving the productivity of gas wells with unstable reservoirs has been offered.

Acceleration of innovation adoption can be done if the communication network patterns in farmer groups are known. The research was conducted at The Citrus Production Center in Sambas District, West Kalimantan. Farmer group samples were taken 15 groups randomly while farmer sampling was done with the Representative Sample of Intact System. The structure and role of farmers in communication networks were analyzed by communication network analysis from Rogers and Kincaid and relationship analysis with Rank Spearman method. The results showed the structure of communication, in terms of the level of connectedness of farmers in the group was low while the openness of farmer groups was high. The higher the involvement and openness of farmers in the communication network, the better behavior of farmers in marketing. In addition, the pattern of communication networks that are formed is the pattern of wheels, namely the role of leaders in groups (star) plays an important role in the distribution of information in farmer groups. The other results were efforts to overcome the marketing problems that occur in farmers, namely by delaying the harvest and delay selling.

Food security and sovereignty can be realized through the expansion of agricultural land to the marginal lands. One type of marginal land is acidie soils with high levels of aluminum (Al) toxicity. An efficient and environmentally friendly approach to utilizeng acidie soils as agricultural land is by using rice varieties which have a high tolerance to aluminum stress on acidie soils. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of aluminum stress on the growth of the local rice from East Kalimantan and to select the tolerant cultivars against aluminum stress at the germination stage. The study was conducted for three months (May-July 2018), at Laboratory of Biotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Mulawarman, Samarinda.  This study used a Split Plot Design with three replications. As the main plot was Aluminum stress concentration (A) consisting of 3 levels, namely 0, 250 and 500 ppm of AlCl3 and as subplots were 25 rice genotypes, consisting of 23 local rice cultivars from East Kalimantan (V) and two genotypes as tolerant (Mekongga) and sensitive (IR64) controls. Assessment of aluminum tolerance level was carried out by calculating plant sensitivity index values against aluminum stress based on the Relative Root Growth (RRG) and Relative Shoot Growth (SRG) parameters. Other plant growth parameter data, root and shoot fresh and dry weight, were analyzed using analysis of variance at the test level α = 0.05, and the post-hoch test using Honestly Significant Difference test (HSD). Aluminum stress caused disruption of the East Kalimantan local rice cultivars growth, especially root growth. Aluminum concentration at either 250 ppm or 500 ppm reduced relative root growth and further damage the root system of the rice plants causing roots stunted and thickened. Likewise with shoot growth parameter, there was a relative shoot growth decline due to the aluminum stress on the plants. Two local rice cultivars of East Kalimantan, Pulut Mayang and Pulut Linjuang, were consistently tolerant to aluminum stress either in 250 ppm or 500 ppm of AlCl3; while Kawit, Bentian, Mayas Putih and Ketan putih cultivars were only classified as tolerant at a concentration of 250 ppm aluminum. On the other hand, a control sensitive variety IR64 showed the susceptibility to 250 and 500 ppm aluminum stress.
Mutations du gène ESR1 : du fondamental à la clinique

Published: October 2019

L’hormonorésistance acquise constitue l’un des défis majeurs dans le traitement du cancer du sein avancé exprimant le récepteur aux estrogènes (RE) et sans surexpression de HER2. Les mutations activatrices du gène ESR1 affectant le domaine de liaison du ligand ont récemment été identifiées comme l’un des principaux mécanismes de résistance aux inhibiteurs de l’aromatase (IA). Ces mutations peuvent être recherchées sur des prélèvements histologiques ou sur ADN tumoral circulant, par PCR ou séquençage de nouvelle génération (NGS). Elles induisent une activation constitutionnelle du RE conduisant à une résistance acquise aux IA ; le tamoxifène, le fulvestrant et les thérapies ciblées anti-mTOR ou anti-CDK4/6 conservent leur efficacité. La place en pratique clinique de la détection des mutations du gène ESR1 reste encore à définir.

The aim of the company is to maximize the value of the company through the implementation of financial decisions consisting of investment decisions, funding and dividend policies. Companies tend to use debt in order to increase the value of their company. If a manager is able to increase the value of the company, the manager has shown good performance for the company. To increase corporate value, a good funding and investment decision is needed. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of institutional ownership and company growth on funding decisions and the value of manufacturing companies. The population of this study was 152 and was selected by purposive sampling so that 129 samples were obtained. Data Analysis Techniques use Path Analysis. Hypothesis test results show that the level of debt held by the company is influenced by institutional ownership and growth of the company. While the high and low values ​​of the company are influenced by institutional ownership, the level of corporate debt and company growth.

One of the considerations of investors in investing in shares is fluctuations in stock prices. Stock prices are one indicator of the success of company management. Investor or prospective investor trust is very beneficial for the issuer, because the more people who trust the issuer, the stronger the desire to invest in the issuer. The purpose of this study was to determine the financial performance as measured by the variable Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) and Return On Equity (ROE) to the stock prices of government-owned commercial banks on the IDX.

            The technical analysis used in this study is multiple linear regression and t (t-test) for partial analysis. Based on the results of multiple linear regression analysis, the regression equation Y = 18.905 + 0.149 (X1) +0.393 (X2) -0.487 (X3) + 0.238 (X4) is obtained. T-test testing from the regression results obtained that the Capital Adequacy Ratio and Return On Equity partially did not have a significant effect on stock prices. While the Net Profit Margin and Loan to Deposit Ratio partially have a significant effect on stock prices.
Nutrients Recovery From Aquaculture Wastewater Using Thermally Treated Gastropod Shells
Authors: Olubukola Ajoke Adelagun Ruth
Published: October 2019

Various technological options are currently being assessed towards phosphorus recovery from waste streams. Premised on the development of sustainable appropriate technology, gastropod shell was thermally modified in this study to enhance its sorption capacity as a substrate material for P recovery from aquaculture used water. It was revealed that the thermal treatment impacted enhanced defects in the surficial morphologies of the gastropod shell leading to an increased P recovery efficiency; this was contrary to the general view that high P recovery efficiency of calcined calcium – rich materials was as a result of conversion of CaCO3 to CaO. Furthermore, about 60% P recovery was obtained and a substantial recovery of the total Nitrogen was also achieved. There was a significant improvement in the overall characteristics of the treated used water for safe disposal or reuse.

Published: October 2019

Monitoring of some organochlorines (OCs) and organophosphorus (OP) pesticide residues in Edku Lake during 2015-2016 have been determined in water, sediment and Tilapia fish to find out the extent of pesticides contamination and bioaccumulation into the lake. Pesticide residues were determined using gas chromatography equipped with appropriate detectors. The mean residues of ∑BHC, ∑DDT, total OCs, and OPs in water samples were 68.43, 14.17, 118.3 and 138.46 ppb, respectively. The corresponding residues in sediments were 8343.26, 5307.59, 21402.83 and 267.66 ppb, respectively. In fish muscles, the mean residues of ∑BHC, ∑DDT, methoxychlor and total OCs were 2513.56, 1916.85, 46175.05, and 57592.40 ppb, respectively. The corresponding values in fish gills were 3565.44, 16014.96, 13182.44, 35645.15 and 3318.10 ppb, respectively. Sum of BHC and DDT were the mostly detected in muscle samples accounting for 1593.60 and 916.53 ppb, respectively. Regarding bioaccumulation of examined pesticides, bioconcentration factor (BCF) was estimated to be in range 7.96-40701.50 for water/muscle ratio of OCs. In case of BCF for water/gills, the values ranged from 16.72 to 237090.17. BCF values obtained from ratio sediment/muscle or sediment/gills not exceeded than 100. These concepts indicate that OCs induced bioaccumulation in fish tissues may attributed to predicted risks associated with this kind of consumption. All findings represent concept that, Edku Lake represents reservoir of all pollutants coming from north governorates e.g. El-Behira.
Delayed Peace and Tranquillity in Africa’s ‘Last Colony’: What Next for Western Sahara?
Authors: Chigudu Daniel
Published: October 2019

The conflicts in Western Sahara have not been resolved conclusively for 43 years now with some referring to them as ‘frozen’ conflicts in Africa’s last colony. A clear case of decolonisation turned out to be a genesis of displacement and protracted suffering of the Saharawi people from the former coloniser to another handler arguably backed by some invisible external hegemons. This study is a qualitative research using secondary data and thematic analysis to investigate Western Sahara’s unending conflicts and the way forward. Located in the conflict theory, findings indicate that the past failed interventions by the United Nations have been a result of the influence of superpowers wielding levers of power in the United Nations Security Council with vested interests in the country. Morocco the new coloniser is a neighbouring country reluctant to cede power while taping the mineral and water resources which Western Sahara is abundantly endowed with. As the Saharawi people are not obliged to give in, the conflict rages on unabated. The latest United Nations intervention could avert the conflict situation as it appears that those who had vested interests are now recoiling. The situation should not be tolerated any further and the Sahrawis deserve better, peace and tranquillity in their homeland. It is recommended that, in the letter and spirit of multilateralism, the African Union and regional economic communities across Africa should swiftly intervene even though it is now late than never.
The Interaction of Macroeconomic Variables on Capital Inflow in Emerging Market Countries in ASEAN: Panel Error Correction Model Approach

Published: October 2019

This study investigates the short and long-term determinants of capital inflows in emerging market countries in ASEAN using the Panel Error Correction Model. This study uses panel data with a time series from 2000 to 2017 and a cross-section of five countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam). This study has three important findings. First, conditions of exchange rate, foreign reserve, and lending rate disrupt the equilibrium of capital inflow in the short term. Second, current account conditions disrupt the equilibrium in the long term. Third, capital inflow will return to equilibrium in the long term. Therefore, it is highly recommended for emerging market countries in ASEAN to stabilize the variables that disrupt the equilibrium in the long and short term to stabilize their capital inflow.
