Religiosity, Social distance and Well-being among Hindu and Muslim Young adults
Authors: Ghausia Taj Begum  , Dr. Meena Osmany
Published: November 2020

In the global work environment, it is important to have cordial relationship between the diverse workforce for proper functioning of the organization as well as the well-being of the employees in the organization. Religious orthodoxy and wider social distance between the diverse groups can be a threat for the organizations. The present study aimed at assessing role of religiosity and social distance in predicting well-being in two different communities (Hindus and Muslims) in India. The sample comprises 100 young adults (50 each from both the groups) from different organizations of Delhi city. Result revealed significant difference on the dimensions of religiosity and well-being between the two groups, but not for the dimension of social distance. Religiosity has been found to be positively correlated with well-being, while social distance was found to be negatively correlated with well-being. Social distance has emerged as strong predictor of well-being. Further, the implications of the results for the two groups in context of work environment are discussed.
A Comparative Study on the Female Domestic Workers and Their Children in Kamrup Districts of Assam
Authors: Ms. Bijoyeta Das
Published: November 2020

This paper has been prepared to visualize relationships between the overall condition of the workers in Kamrup Metro and Kamrup rural areas of Assam. It throws light on how the female domestic workers engaged in part time work function differently in both the areas. The increase in the number of domestic workers has led to the growth of the urban middle class, especially the increase in the number of women working outside their homes and availability of cheap domestic labour. Kamrup Districts has witnessed large scale migration over the past few years of women from the interior areas of Assam, while in Kamrup metro, most of the migrants are from areas in lower Assam .The poor women who engage in domestic work are often unable to care for their own families, leaving their own children alone for the whole day. The study was conducted on adults ranging from 27 to 40 yrs of age. There were various reasons for which these female workers engaged in such kind of work, v.i.z, illiteracy, uncertain income of other family members and preference for part time domestic work, higher number of children with low income in the family. The children of such workers are sent to schools in Kamrup metro, while a handful of children were provided with education via various means in Kamrup rural. The wages of the workers in rural areas were not sufficient to send their children to proper schools. In this paper, some implications are provided to assist such workers in helping their children for education. The paper also deals with the educational status and the challenges faced by such workers in the daily affairs.

Authors: Shelly Bhagat
Published: November 2020

The ancient Education system of India, was very much prosperous, value-based and skill focused which further developed the teaching abilities and the intellectual level along with the knowledge of cultural heritage, awareness of responsibility towards nation, and more or less the number of the students participating towards learning. The base of present Indian education system was adopted by Indians from Britishers and the British given Economy system, Judicial system, Administrative System and Parliamentary system of India, is well taken care of by us. The emerging and so called developed phenomenon of corruption has not even spared this value system of learning. In this paper the major areas which are to be focused upon for the improvement and growth of Indian education system by the society to cure and maintain the purity of education in itself is discussed.

Influence of Psychological Ownership on Psychological Contract Breach
Authors: Md. Hassan Jafri
Published: November 2020

The present research aimed at understanding influence of psychological ownership on employee’s perception of psychological contract breach. Using random sampling procedure data were collected from 250 employees working at different levels from two banks in Bhutan. Correlation and regression analysis were carried out to analyze the obtained data. Results revealed that employee’s sense of ownership is significantly and inversely related to psychological contract breach. It is found that the explanatory variable significantly explain variance of outcome variable of the study. Research implied that management through their policies and practices should try to develop sense of ownership among their employees if organization expects to reduce the possibility of feeling of contract breach because the perception of breach can have negative implications on employees as well as on organization.
Correlates of Parental Support and Academic Achievement of Male and Female Secondary School Students
Authors: Mohammad Hasan
Published: November 2020

Exponential growth of academic competitiveness has brought out the dire needs of Parental support. School education cannot visualise the all objectives of education until it sought parental support. Thus, parental support has become the crux of modern school education. The present study aims to explore the relationship as well as difference between academic achievements of high and low parental support groups of male and female secondary school students. The study is hypothesised as there will be no relationship and difference between academic achievements of high and low parental support groups of male and female secondary school students. A sample size of 205 (Male & Female) secondary school students was drawn from four secondary schools of Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh (U.P.) India. Non-probability purposive sampling was employed to draw the required sample. Mean. SD, Pearson Correlation and t- test was calculated for the analysis of data. Findings revealed the positive significant relationship as well as no significant difference between academic achievements and parental support of secondary school students. Findings are interpreted in terms of educational implications and need for further research is also suggested.
A Survey Exploring PMS Awareness Trends in Indian Women and a Review of Ways to Harmonize Psycho – Physiological Stress of Premenstrual Syndrome Practicing Yoga Asanas
Authors: Chandana Eswar
Published: November 2020

Background: Menstruation has been considered as a taboo which made it difficult for women to discuss and voice out their concerns, creating a void in understanding the vitality of menstruation for a healthy womanhood. Purpose of the Study: To investigate level of awareness on PMS among educated women in Indian society and to communicate that it is time that women accept and discuss about menstruation as a natural process, and indulge in psycho-physiological activities such as yoga to learn to manage such conditions. Methodology: A survey was conducted on 305 females aged between 14-31 years. The subjects were asked to write what do they understand by PMS and their level of awareness was assessed based on the responses provided. Results & Findings: Most of the subjects were not aware of PMS, very few gave either an inappropriate or a correct answer. Conclusion: It has never been ok to speak about menstruation in India. The lack of awareness leads to lack of hygiene and lowers the confidence level in women. Yoga plays a vital role by making it convenient for women to harmonise the psycho-physiological trauma before, during and after menstruation. It high time that we in Indian accept menstruation as a sign of good health and not a curse and it is ok to talk about it.

Authors: Minér Patrick  , Bill Hornbeak  , Léon Le Néz  , MandeepPatil  , Pat Minér
Published: November 2020

This paper contains expected abstract and report of results that would confirm Minér et al’s (2016) proposed experiment on salt passage. Eighty female undergraduates completed questionnaire with snacks and drinks, along with a salt shaker and a pepper shaker available. They were asked to pass salt or pepper by another female or a male who also worked on questionnaire, but who was in league with the experimenter. These confederates had either very long nose or normal-sized (short) nose (le nez normal). Participants complied to both requests, but were slower to respond to pepper request than to salt request and to the person with the long nose. Response times were particularly slow when the request was made by male with long nose (homme avec le nez long). Implications for similarity theory and attraction theory are discussed and suggestions are made for the future research going forward.
The Easterlin Paradox- The Haves, The Have-Nots and The Happiness
Authors: Dr. Komila Parthi  , Ramanpreet Kaur
Published: November 2020

The past research claims that poverty has a broad negative impact on happiness of individuals. The money doesn’t make you happier, but lack of money makes you sadder. It has been observed that the poor are more likely than the affluent to be exposed to stressful life events, such as unemployment, illness and victimization etc. Poverty is not only economic limitations of people, it also encompasses the dissatisfaction of psychological and psychosocial needs, which if met, would elevate well-being of individuals. This paper uses inductive approach to understand the economics of happiness and a feeling of powerlessness in poverty-stricken population and attempts to uncover how poverty leads to a lack of happiness.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. The purpose of this research was to explore the advantages of yogic practices on risk taking behavior of ADHD. Present study has pre and post experimental design which was conducted on 30 pre diagnosed ADHD School going children with the age group of 8 to 12years selected on random basis. The sample was divided into two control and experimental groups. The Balloon analog risk task (BART) was used for assessment of risk taking behavior of ADHD. The experimental group was given 10 specific yogic practice sessions whereas the control group was given no intervention. Pre and post results indicated that there was no change in the control group in reference to risk taking behavior whereas there was improved in the risk taking behavior of children with ADHD in the experimental group. The positive correlation was found between Yogic practices and risk taking behavior improvement.

Undiagnosed cyanotic heart disease - A challenge to emergency medical professionals
Authors: Singla Sanjeev Kumar , Singla Ankush
Published: November 2020

Cyanotic heart disease characterized by pulmonary hypertension with reversal or bidirectional shunt associated with atrioventricular septal defects or patent ductus arteriosus is known as Eisenmenger syndrome. Pregnancy-associated decreased systemic vascular resistance increases the degree of right to left shunting and hypoxemia, thereby increasing substantially both the maternal mortality and fetal wastage which is reported to be as high as 70%. Ideally, this is a contraindication for conceiving but if there is strong desire of pregnancy, it should be a supervised antenatally by multidisciplinary team. We present a case of a young primigravida who had cesarean delivery under subarachnoid block at 37 weeks of gestation and was referred after fall in oxygen saturation. It can be a challenge to manage these cases at a peripheral unit if the condition is undiagnosed.

Pre-Conscious Automaticity of Sound-­‐Shape Mapping
Authors: Hung Shao-Min , Styles Suzy J. , Hsieh Po-­Jang
Published: November 2020

The bouba–kiki effect depicts a non-arbitrary mapping between specific shapes and non-words: an angular shape is more often named with a sharp sound like ‘kiki’, while a curved shape is more often matched to a blunter sound like ‘bouba’. This effect shows a natural tendency of sound-shape pairing and has been shown to take place among adults who have different mother tongues (Ramachandran & Hubbard, 2001), pre-schoolers (Maurer, Pathman, & Mondloch, 2006), and even four-month-olds (Ozturk, Krehm, & Vouloumanos, 2013). These studies therefore establish that similar sound-to-shape mappings could happen among different cultures and early in development, suggesting the mappings may be innate and possibly universal. However, it remains unclear what level of mental processing gives rise to these perceptions: the mappings could rely on introspective processes about ‘goodness-of-fit,’ or they could rely on automatic sensory processes which are active prior to conscious awareness. Here we designed several experiments to directly examine the automaticity of the bouba-kiki effect. Specifically, we examined whether the congruency of a sound-shape pair can be processed before access to awareness?
Site- and Stereoselective Reductive Alkylalkynylation of Alkynes using Redox-Active Esters as Alkyl Group Donors
Authors: Jiang Yi , Pan Jiaoting , Yang Tao , Lim Joel Jun Han , Zhao Yu , Koh Ming Joo
Published: November 2020

Development of a catalytic multicomponent reaction by orthogonal activation of readily available substrates for the streamlined difunctionalization of alkynes is a compelling objective in organic chemistry. Alkyne carboalkynylation, in particular, offers a direct entry to valuable 1,3-enynes with different substitution patterns. Here, we show that the synthesis of stereodefined 1,3-enynes featuring a trisubstituted olefin is achieved by merging alkynes, alkynyl bromides and redox-active N-(acyloxy)phthalimides through nickel-catalyzed reductive alkylalkynylation. Products are generated in up to 89% yield as single regio- and E isomers. Transformations are tolerant of diverse functional groups and the resulting 1,3-enynes are amenable to further elaboration to synthetically useful building blocks. With olefin-tethered N-(acyloxy)phthalimides, a cascade radical addition/cyclization/alkynylation process can be implemented to obtain 1,5-enynes. The present study underscores the crucial role of redox-active esters as superior alkyl group donors compared to haloalkanes in reductive alkyne dicarbofunctionalizations.
Understanding the Dipole Moment of Liquid Water from a Self-Attractive Hartree Decomposition
Authors: Zhu Tianyu , Van Voorhis Troy
Published: November 2020

The dipole moment of a single water molecule in liquid water has been a critical concept for understanding water’s dielectric properties. In this work, we investigate the dipole moment of liquid water through a self-attractive Hartree (SAH) decomposition of total electron density computed by density functional theory, on water clusters sampled from ab initio molecular dynamics simulation of bulk water. By adjusting one parameter that controls the degree of density localization, we reveal two distinct pictures of water dipoles that are consistent with bulk dielectric properties: a localized picture with smaller and less polarizable monomer dipoles, and a delocalized picture with larger and more polarizable monomer dipoles. We further uncover that the collective dipole-dipole correlation is stronger in the localized picture and is key to connecting individual dipoles with bulk dielectric properties. Based on these findings, we suggest considering both individual and collective dipole behaviors when studying the dipole moment of liquid water, and propose new design strategies for developing water models.

City Thresholds. The role of urban green infrastructures in Madrid
Authors: Santo-Tomas Muro Rocío , Rodríguez Romero Eva J.
Published: November 2020

This paper presents an exploration of the thresholds of the city, embodying the concept of Urban Green Infrastructure. In particular, it is a journey through the urban fringe of Madrid, where these green infrastructures, due to their form and history, achieve the sense of urban threshold and act as identity generators of the city. We examine the concept of peri-urban landscape in relation to nowadays challenges of sustainable development, as well as the benefits of Urban Green Infrastructures in the contour of the city. We then take a brief tour though the peripheral landscape of the city of Madrid, where we analyse metropolitan parks and historical green areas that comply its proximity image. After identifying the green infrastructures acting as thresholds in the city of Madrid, we focus on the south-east diagonal of the capital in order to reaffirm its importance in the construction of the image and identity of the city. We defend the importance of Urban Green Infrastructure to and from the city, suggesting the necessity of a supra-municipal planning tool to take change of the peri-urban landscape, usually perceived as subsidiary, to deem the proximity visions of the city as relevant for its design.
Una síntesis conceptual e histórica de la “escurridiza” periferia exurbana
Authors: Otero-Enríquez Raimundo , Calo García Estefanía , Rodríguez Barcón Alberto
Published: November 2020

El esfuerzo por cartografiar los límites de las periferias urbanas requiere de una necesaria discusión conceptual previa. El presente texto tiene como objetivo principal plantear, mediante una aproximación histórico-comparativa, una definición lo más precisa de Exurbia, un linde de la ciudad particularmente complejo y poliédrico. Complejo, porque su mapeo debe reflejar una hibridación de usos de suelo urbanos y rurales, así como un enorme abanico de tipologías edificatorias. Poliédrico, porque una correcta caracterización social y económica de las franjas exurbanas de la ciudad, resulta difícil de acotar a través de criterios estadísticos o censales simples. Por tanto, sintetizar las principales aportaciones de la literatura que, desde inicios del siglo XX, tratan de explicar dicha diversidad y multidimensionalidad, supone el segundo objetivo transversal al desarrollo del artículo.

Published: November 2020

El tratamiento de los defectos del cuero cabelludo después de la resección de tumores malignos es un problema difícil. Los defectos grandes con pérdida de tejido blando hasta el hueso requieren complejas opciones reconstructivas. Sin embargo, estas técnicas a menudo se acompañan de complicaciones postoperatorias. Objetivo: Determinar las complicaciones de la cobertura cutánea en pacientes con cáncer de piel en cuero cabelludo del Hospital Sociedad de Lucha contra el Cáncer SOLCA durante el periodo 2010 al 2015. Materiales y método: Estudio cuantitativo, analítico, correlacional, transversal y retrospectivo, que incluyó a 50 pacientes con cáncer de cuero cabelludo que se les realizó cobertura cutánea. Se empleó estadística descriptiva e inferencial y el software estadístico SPSS versión 21 para el análisis de los datos. Resultados: Los principales métodos de cobertura cutánea del cuero cabelludo fue el colgajo de rotación (30%) y de avance (18%). El 34% (17) desarrollaron complicaciones postoperatorias, siendo las principales los procesos infecciosos (26%), el hematoma (12%) y la necrosis (4%). Los factores de riesgo más frecuentes fueron la edad mayor de 60 años (72%), el sexo femenino (54%), ASA III-IV (46%). Los factores de riesgo: sexo femenino, anemia, desnutrición, edad > 60 años, ASA III-IV y la radioterapia previa se asociaron estadísticamente con las complicaciones (p < 0,05). Conclusión: Existe asociación estadística significativa entre el desarrollo de complicaciones y la presencia de factores de riesgo: desnutrición, anemia, sexo femenino, edad > 60 años, radioterapia previa y ASA III-IV. La desnutrición aumenta la probabilidad 6 veces para desarrollar complicaciones. La presencia de anemia aumenta 13 veces el riesgo de presentar complicaciones. La edad > 60 años aumenta la probabilidad 2 veces para desarrollar complicaciones. El ASA III-IV aumenta la probabilidad 33 veces para desarrollar complicaciones y el antecedente de radioterapia aumenta la probabilidad 13 veces.

Published: November 2020

Las enfermedades renales representan un problema importante de salud mundial. El hiperparatiroidismo secundario aparece con mayor frecuencia en la insuficiencia renal crónica avanzada cuando la disminución de la síntesis de vitamina D activa en los riñones y otros factores producen hipocalcemia y estimulan la secreción de la hormona paratiroidea (PTH) en forma crónica. Cerca del 10% de la población mundial padece de insuficiencia renal crónica. Y se estima, que de este total entre el 10 y el 20% presenta hiperparatiroidismo secundario, y el 5% de este total, lo presenta en una forma severa. Es importante destacar que las complicaciones de la insuficiencia renal son de alto riesgo de mortalidad y que la presencia del hiperparatiroidismo secundario aumenta ese riesgo. El objetivo general del presente estudio consiste en compendiar algunas generalidades del hiperparatiroidismo secundario en insuficiencia renal, con especial énfasis en el tratamiento de esta importante patología. El diseño de investigación es bibliográfico, y la metodología es de revisión. El tratamiento del hiperparatiroidismo secundario es principalmente médico (Calcimiméticos), siendo de manejo quirúrgico sólo aquellos pacientes refractarios a tratamiento y con complicaciones derivados del exceso de la PTH. Es fundamental para el manejo y seguimiento de esta patología, controlar los valores séricos de cada uno de los parámetros, junto con el control de la calcemia. Asimismo, se debe procurar que las medidas terapéuticas tomadas sean razonables en el mantenimiento de los niveles de calcio y fósforo dentro de los parámetros normales. Por último, es importante considerar que las metas en el tratamiento del hiperparatiroidismo secundario se adapten e individualicen a cada paciente en particular y a su entorno clínico.

Published: November 2020

El Síndrome Adherencial se refiere al cuadro clínico que se manifiesta cuando las adherencias, que actúan como puentes vascularizado se inervados entretejidos conectivos de órganos, causan complicaciones secundarias importantes. Las adherencias son causantes de muchos casos de infertilidad femenina, obstrucción intestinal y de re-intervención quirúrgica. Considerando que su morbimortalidad ha resultado ser más común de lo que se suele pensar, es fundamental profundizar respecto a su tratamiento, así como su prevención, sobre todo, en aquellos casos que pueden devenir en Síndrome Adherencial, tras la intervención quirúrgica a cavidad pélvico-abdominal abierta. En tal sentido, el presente estudio pretende profundizar en sus causas, tratamiento y sus complicaciones. Las adherencias normalmente no manifiestan ningún signo clínico, de tal forma que hay un alto riesgo de pasar inadvertida. Sin embargo, es importante conocer que las complicaciones causadas por la misma, se manifiestan creando un síndrome típico según sea el caso.

Published: November 2020

La brucelosis es una enfermedad infecciosa causada por bacterias del género Brucella. La infección la poseen ciertos animales y se transmite a los humanos a través del contacto o por medio de productos contaminados, más comúnmente por la ingestión de leche cruda o queso. Los síntomas de la brucelosis pueden incluir fiebre, sudoración, dolores corporales y dolor en las articulaciones. En los humanos representa una enfermedad crónica y debilitante, que puede afectar gran variedad de órganos. El diagnóstico clínico no se logra fácilmente, por tanto, las pruebas de laboratorio son muy importantes para una correcta identificación de la enfermedad en humanos y para la detección y confirmación en animales. Sin embargo, el diagnóstico definitivo se realiza normalmente mediante el aislamiento y la identificación del agente causal. Si bien es definitivo, el aislamiento requiere mucho tiempo y debe ser realizado por personal altamente calificado ya que es peligroso. Por estas razones, normalmente se prefieren las pruebas serológicas, ya que este tipo de ensayos ha avanzado considerablemente en las últimas décadas y brindan pruebas muy sensibles y específicas. La infección por brucelosis se puede prevenir con medidas de control de enfermedades en los animales, evitando los productos lácteos no pasteurizados y medidas de protección ocupacional. Mediante la presente revisión bibliográfica se describen los métodos bacteriológicos, serológicos y moleculares utilizados para el diagnóstico de la brucelosis humana con prevención y tratamiento.

Una sociedad relativamente detenida, confinada, aislada no ha tenido más opción que redescubrirse dentro de las recomendaciones de seguridad planteadas por los organismos competentes para mantenerse sanos y en dado caso aportar lo que esté al alcance para detener la enfermedad causada por el SARS‐COV2 mejor conocida como Covid-19, sin embargo existen otras enfermedades endémicas que coexisten con el recién descubierto Covid-19 que no han sido controladas y representan una mayor riesgo para la población como lo es el dengue y su posible repunte hasta el mes de octubre debido a las condiciones climáticas inherentes a la región. Se realiza una búsqueda preliminar de los trabajos científicos publicados a través del motor de búsqueda Google Académico manejando como palabras claves de búsqueda, dengue y covid-19 de los cuales se escogen los suficientes para exponer los objetivos planteados. Se desecha temporalidad puesto que las publicaciones que contienen comentarios acerca de los efectos del SARS-CoV-2 solo pueden existir a partir del brote inicial en noviembre de 2019. Si bien un niño con dengue puede convertirse en un caso grave asintomático para los efectos de Covid-19 se ha advertido que es la población infantil la principal y más peligrosa fuente de expansión del Sars-Cov-2 sobre todo por la incapacidad de sostener estrictamente los protocolos de bioseguridad para la transmisión de estos y son los adultos los que muestran mayor complicación al padecer de Covid 19. Paradójicamente, es la población adulta la que puede garantizar los protocolos preventivos para controlar la propagación del dengue a través de los protocolos de higiene que eviten los criaderos y reproducción del mosquito transmisor de dicho virus.
Premiums and Stock Price Responses in Equity-Stake Purchase Deals in Korea’s Stock Market
Authors: Park Jin , Suh Jungwon
Published: November 2020

In this study, we examine a sample of 160 equity-stake purchase deals between companies listed on Korea’s stock market during 2009~2017. The sample comprises deals in which acquiring firms buy at least 5% of the target’s common stock but excludes mergers or acquisitions of the target’s entire equity. The deal premium is measured by the difference between the deal price and the target’s share price a day or a week before the deal’s announcement. We find that although the deal premium tends to increase with the size of the equity stake in the target, it is negative in about half of the sample and its median value is close to zero. Moreover, the deal premium is positively associated with the won value of the deal size relative to acquiring firms’ assets but negatively associated with their quality (measured by operating profitability) and size of insider ownership. We also analyze stock price responses to deal announcements. For acquiring firms, the mean cumulative abnormal return over (-2, 2) (i.e., CAR (-2, 2)) is not statistically significant but CAR (-2, 2) increases with deal premium and the target’s operating performance. For target firms, the mean CAR (-2, 2) is significantly positive (approximately 1.6%) but we cannot identify factors that are systematically associated with their CAR (-2, 2).

The article addresses the relation of referential expressions and co-occurring kinetic phenomena (hand and head gestures) on the material of the RUPEX multimodal corpus. The results reflect significant differences in how individual movements and gestures are aligned with two major types of reference (full NPs vs. reduced expressions). It was initially assumed that full NPs are more often accompanied by a gesture. Our data support this hypothesis not only through the material of hand gestures, but also through head movements. Moreover, full NPs are more likely to be accompanied by downward movements in both manual and cephalic channels, as well as by metadiscourse gestures, in comparison to reduced referential units (personal and demonstrative pronouns). In addition, pronouns are more likely to be aligned with pointing hand gestures and zero reference is often accompanied by descriptive hand gestures. However, the kinetic behavior of the interlocutors is determined by a variety of factors, including the topic of the conversation, which predisposes to certain types of gestures and the relative position of the interlocutors.

REGISTRY FOR RESTful WEB SERVICE: RESTRegistry
Authors: Rathod Digvijaysinh
Published: November 2020

SOAP/WSDL and REST are two architectural styles to build web services. SOAP/WSDL follows operation centric and REST follows resource centric approach. SOAP/WSDL has standard registry where producer can register service specification and consumer can discover service endpoint using UDDI.  Recently RESTful web service gained momentum in development of distributed application and research community already started discussion about RESTful based Service Oriented Architecture(SOA)  but there is no standard central repository exist where producer can register and consumer can search RESTful service based on Quality of Services or based on their specification. In this research paper, we proposed framework: XML based RESTRegistry – central repository with Quality of Service through which producer can easily register services and consumer can search it easily. We also developed Travel Schedule benchmark application to test proposed framework in real world.

Authors: Ibrahim S. Y. , Adamu Umar
Published: November 2020

The paper reviewed the nature of financial relations among the three tiers of government in Nigeria.  It was identified that revenue allocation in every federation is a problem; as such each federation adopts its own strategies to contain the imbalance.  It was discovered that several attempts were made, yet the problem still persists.  This is because most federating units depend largely on the federal Account.  Among the recommendations were review of the relevant sectoring of the constitution and creation of units of government should be based on viability rather than political consideration.

Published: November 2020

In this paper, we have investigated the relationship between trade openness and long-run economic growth over the sample period 1960–2015, utilizing ARDL model. We found evidence that trade openness is directly correlated with economic growth in the long run. Furthermore, Granger Causality tests recommended that a change in trade openness impacts the long-run of economic growth through the interaction with gross capital formation in the case of China.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui kesiapan pelaku UMKM dan perusahaan informal membuat laporan keuangan menuju Pajak Penghasilan Pasal 17. Pemerintah mengeluarkan Peraturan Pemerintah untuk pengenaan pajak penghasilan yang bersifat final bagi wajib pajak yang memiliki pengahasilan bruto dibawah 4,8 miliar dikenakan dengan tarif 0,5% tiap bulannya. Kebijakan tarif pajak penghasilan yang bersifat final tersebut, tidak dapat digunakan secara terus-menerus, karena tarif pajak pengahasilan akan kembali dikenakan berdasarkan tarif pasal 17 dari laba bersih. Peneliti ingin mengetahui praktik akuntansi yang dilaksanakan oleh pelaku UMKM dan perusahaan informal di Pamekasan menghadapi PPh Pasal 17. Penelitian ini akan dilakukan dengan metode wawancara langsung kelapangan dengan melakukan pengumpulan data yang dibutuhkan dari pihak terkait. Hasil penelitian berdasarkan jawaban responden bahwa pelaku usaha UMKM dan Informal belum siap untuk beralih ke tarif PPh pasal 17. Hal ini juga dapat dilihat dari lemahnya pemahaman SAK ETAP, UMKM, IFRS maupun Syariah yang dibuktikan dengan nilai presentase yang kecil yaitu hanya sebesar 33,3% yang mengetahui SAK.

As the power of educating, teaching, guiding, directing, training, evaluating, and evaluating student teacher performance will be very supportive. One way to improve teacher performance is to pay attention to factors that can improve teacher performance. Paying attention to the factors that affect the teacher's performance delivered by Gibson, its relation to teacher performance at the Tarbiyatul Islam Foundation Nahdlatul Wathan Wanasaba as an object of research will be seen from three variables; (1) organizational variables related to leadership; (2) psychological variables include personality in the form of work ethic and (3) individual variables include the ability or competence of teachers.Based on the above circumstances, the purpose of this study is to analyze and determine the effect of transformational leadership, work ethics and competency in a pasial (separate) and simultaneously (together) manner on teacher performance at the Tarbiyatul Islam NW Wanasaba East Lombok Foundation. To meet these objectives, multiple linear regression analysis is carried out, namely t test and F test. Before conducting multiple linear regression analysis, first classical assumptions are tested of all variables that are valid and reliability. Finally, interpret the results and conclusions.After multiple linear regression analysis is done, the result that is spatially and simultaneous transformational leadership, work ethic and competence significantly affect the performance of teachers at the Islamic Foundation NW Wanasaba Tarbiyatul East Lombok.Keywords :independent variable, dependent variable, Partial, simultaneous

El estrés por sequía es una de las principales causas de la reducción del rendimiento del maíz en los trópicos, principalmente en la agricultura que depende de lluvias, por lo que se requiere generar genotipos con tolerancia a sequía. Los objetivos de la investigación fueron cuantificar la respuesta agronómica de un grupo de líneas S2 segregantes de maíz en ambientes de riego y sequía, así como seleccionar líneas con tolerancia al déficit hídrico, con base en dos índices y al promedio de rendimiento de ambos ambientes. Los genotipos de estudio fueron 96 líneas S2 segregantes, dos líneas testigo y dos líneas no seleccionadas para sequía. Las líneas se evaluaron bajo riego y sequía inducida usando un diseño Látice Alfa con cuatro repeticiones, en Ayala, Morelos, México. Se midieron 10 variables morfológicas y se estimaron los índices de susceptibilidad a la sequía (ISS) y el índice de tolerancia (IT). Con base en el rendimiento de grano en riego (3.14 t ha-1), se observó una reducción de 77.7% del rendimiento en sequía (0.7 t ha-1). Los índices ISS e IT identificaron a las líneas LUM69, LUM82 y LUM30 como tolerantes a sequía, solo LUM69 mostró un rendimiento competitivo en ambos ambientes. Los índices de ISS e IT como criterio para identificar genotipos tolerantes, no seleccionaron a las líneas con mejor rendimiento de grano bajo condiciones de riego, por lo que se debe incluir en los criterios de selección al promedio de rendimiento a través de los ambientes de humedad.

La variedad Drymifolia de aguacate (Persea americana Mill.) es usada generalmente como portainjerto por lo que es importante implementar las técnicas de embriogénesis somática y la organogénesis in vitro para su mejora genética, conservación y propagación clonal. En este trabajo se evaluaron embriogénesis somática directa, indirecta y organogénesis de la variedad Drymifolia. La germinación de los embriones somáticos maduros se indujo con 0.5 mg L-1 de 6-N-bencil amino purina (BAP) y 1 mg L-1 de ácido giberélico (GA3). De las seis accesiones evaluadas, Celaya 79, Comonfort 53, San Miguel, BG24, BG181 y Zutano, solo San Miguel respondió al proceso de embriogénesis. En la embriogénesis directa la eficiencia más alta de regeneración se obtuvo con 0.2 mg L-1 de picloram (46%) y 10 mg L-1 de ANA (40%). En la embriogénesis indirecta la accesión San Miguel formó callos con 0.2 mg L-1 de picloram y tuvo una eficiencia de regeneración de 45% conservando su potencial de regeneración hasta por seis meses. Con respecto a la organogénesis, se cultivaron embriones cigóticos inmaduros decapitados en medio con reguladores de crecimiento  o sin ellos y las seis accesiones respondieron positivamente a ambas condiciones. La accesión Comonfort 53 tuvo mayor eficiencia de regeneración (54%) con reguladores de crecimiento. Este estudio realizado del 2016 a 2018, proporciona un enfoque nuevo y prometedor para la regeneración y multiplicación de plantas de P. americana var. Drymifolia a través de embriones cigóticos.
