Authors: Lathif AH. Azharuddin , Habibaty Diana Mutia
Published: May 2019

The increasing of sharia insurance companies have sprung up in Indonesia. However, in their policy contracts there are still some parts that are not in accordance with sharia principles. This mismatch can cause information distortion that can harm customers or sharia insurance participants. The Sharia Insurance Policy as a form of written contract between the insurance company and the customer or the insurance participant should duly follow sharia principles in order to avoid the elements that forbid it, therefore in Indonesia the policy making must follow the legislation, namely Financial Services Authority Regulation No.69 / POJK.05 / 2016 (hereinafter abbreviated as POJK No.69 / POJK.05 / 2016) and the Financial Services Authority Regulation No.72 / POJK.05 / 2016 (hereinafter abbreviated as POJK No.72 / POJK.05 / 2016) as the basis of the rule legislation describing the standardization of sharia policy contracts. This study uses qualitative methods, the data used in the form of primary, secondary, and non-legal materials. The technique used is in the form of content analysis with the theme of normative juridical research that analyzes legal principles and systematics, and how much the level of synchronization of ABC Islamic sharia insurance products at PT. XYZ against POJK No.69 / POJK.05 / 2016 and POJK No.72 / POJK.05 / 2016. The results of this study concluded that generally the ABC Islamic Sharia insurance policy PT. XYZ is in accordance with POJK No.69 / POJK.05 / 2016 and POJK No.72 / POJK.05 / 2016, but there are some peculiarities in this policy so that it still needs to be questioned about the welfare side.

Authors: Iqbal Javed , Sandhu Moeed Ahmad , Amin Shaheera , Manzoor Aliya
Published: May 2019

This paper used artificial neural networks (ANNs) time series predictor for approximating returns of Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) listed 100 companies. These projected returns are then substituted into expected returns in the Markowitz’s Mean Variance (MV) portfolio Model. For comparison empirical data used is closing prices of PSX listed stocks, Karachi Inter Bank Offer Rates (KIBOR) as risk free rate and KSE-all share index as benchmark. The Portfolio returns are compared for two datasets by employing various constraints like budget, transaction costs, and turnover constraints. The value of portfolios is measured through Sharpe ratio and Information ratio. Both Sharpe and Information ratios support use of ANNs as return predictor and optimisation tool over simple MV model implemented for empirical data as well as predicted data. ANNs framework performed better in both Long and Short positions and its portfolio returns are significantly higher as compared with MV.

Published: May 2019

Academic institutions cannot survive and perform well without competent and committed academic staff. Therefore, it is important to address the issue of faculty members’ turnover. Focus of this study is to investigate the impact of human resource practices (salary, performance appraisal, training and development) and career growth (career goal progress, professional ability development, promotion speed, and remuneration growth) on faculty members’ turnover intention. The study has used a cross sectional survey data from a sample of 270 full time faculty members of universities in Pakistan.  The Partial Least Square (PLS) two step path modeling was used to test the direct and indirect hypotheses. The results indicate that salary and performance appraisals are significantly and negatively related to turnover intention. Besides, it was found that out of four dimensions of career growth, only promotion speed and remuneration growth have significant direct relationship with turnover intention. With regards to mediated relationships, it was found that organizational commitment mediates the relationships between career growth (career goal progress, promotion speed, remuneration growth) and turnover intention. These findings suggest that in order to reduce turnover intention among faculty members, the higher education institutions must institutionalize human resource policies and practices that enhance career growth and employees’ development.

Job Autonomy sebagai Moderator pada Pengaruh Job Insecurity terhadap Perilaku Kerja Inovatif
Authors: Ardy Ludi Prasetyo , Fajrianthi Fajrianthi
Published: May 2019

This study aims to examine the role of job insecurity towards innovative work behavior with job autonomy as a moderator. The concept of the three variables were tested using the theoretical concepts of job demand and job control. In the condition of "active job", individuals can produce ideas and innovations in responding to work conditions. Previous studies show that active jobs can be obtained when there is a high interaction between high job demand and job control. Based on these studies it can be assumed that job insecurity (job demand) and job autonomy (job control) will influence innovative work behavior. This study used a quantitative approach by using SEM-PLS to analyze data. A total of 194 participants in a manufacturing industry, primarily from its production units, were involved in this study. The results show that job insecurity has a negative significant effect on innovative work behavior while job autonomy has a positive significant effect on the variable. The moderation test of job autonomy on the effect of job insecurity on innovative work behavior show no significant result. The strict operational standard procedure in the production unit is assumed as one of the factors that makes job autonomy does not play a role in reducing the negative influence of job insecurity on innovative work behavior.

Geopolítica do espaço cibernético e o poder: o exercício da soberania por meio do controle
Authors: Portela Lucas Soares
Published: May 2019

O surgimento do chamado espaço cibernético deu-se no meio acadêmico, no imaginário do homem. Surgiu para responder a uma demanda humana, sendo utilizado desde sua origem. A relevância que esse espaço tomou na vida da sociedade e do homem já é objeto de desavenças entre homens e litígios entre Estados. Atualmente, muito se tem falado sobre a equiparação do espaço cibernético a um espaço geográfico, delimitações de fronteiras, soberania de Estado, controle governamental e disputa de poderes. Acredita-se também que a importância do espaço cibernético para o Estado tem uma relação direta com seu poder e soberania, conceitos que estão interligados ao espaço, universos estes que são estudados pela Geopolítica.Assim, esse artigo pretendeu responder ao problema: a dinâmica do poder do século XXI gera uma territorialização do espaço cibernético como um espaço geográfico? A hipótese que norteou o artigo afirma que a projeção de poder, visando o controle, dentro do espaço cibernético, seja por Estados ou outros atores, desenha uma relação que se enquadra dentro da chamada nova geopolítica. O artigo foi estruturado em quatro tópicos temáticos sobre evolução da geopolítica, categorias constitutivas do território, nova geopolítica e relação com o poder e a geopolítica do espaço cibernético e o fator de controle.Ao final do artigo, conclui-se que o espaço cibernético pode ser objeto de pesquisa da geopolítica a partir da análise da aplicação contemporânea do conceito de poder, desde que esse seja trabalhado dentro das atipicidades apresentadas pela geopolítica do espaço cibernético.

A representação social da docência em geografia na educação básica
Authors: Mendes Larissa Sousa , Silva Josélia Saraiva e
Published: May 2019

A literatura e as pesquisas quanto à significação social e atratividade da carreira docente no Brasil têm mostrado uma crescente desvalorização desta profissão, em especial do ser professor (a) da Geografia escolar. Isso porque a Geografia foi introduzida no currículo escolar como uma ferramenta teórica estratégica de reconhecimento do território nacional, bem como com o intuito de integrar o Estado-nação e proteger suas fronteiras. Por conta de tal cenário está disciplina priorizou por um longo período a descrição e caracterização, sobretudo dos aspectos físicos, dos lugares e suas respectivas populações. Diante disso, mesmo tendo desenvolvido um arcabouço teórico-metodológico rico, com o qual passou a observar o espaço geográfico por outros ângulos, a Geografia mantém, até os dias atuais, no senso comum, o estigma de ser uma disciplina escolar enciclopédica, que possui pouca relação com o cotidiano, e que por isso exige dos alunos da Educação Básica um esforço exacerbado da memória. Procurando contribuir com essa discussão, o presente artigo visa abordar essa temática a partir da Teoria das Representações Sociais (Moscovici, 1969). Sob essa perspectiva,buscamos identificar, nas referências teóricas já existentes, questões que versem sobre a formação inicial e a construção de uma representação social da condição de ser professor de Geografia no Brasil. Para dar embasamento a essa discussão, utilizamos como referencial teórico autores como Tardif (2002), Nóvoa (1997), Callai (2003), Pontuschka (2009, 2010), entre outros. Assim,inferimos a existência de um fazer geografia escolar que a insere em uma visão pouco crítica da realidade, muito embora o seu discurso teórico a encaminhe para o sentido contrário.
Dos determinantes tradicionais da migração aos impulsionados pela modernidade líquida nas perspectivas de Alice no País das Maravilhas e de Vidas Secas
Authors: Pereira Neto Claudeci
Published: May 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é retratar a coexistência de tradicionais fatores motivadores do ato migratório com os novos determinantes impulsionados pela “modernidade líquida” de BAUMAN (2001), através da análise dos diálogos de Alice com o Gato de Cheshire e com a Rainha de Copas, presentes no livro Alice no País das Maravilhas, de Lewis Carroll, e do exame da vida e das ações da família de retirantes sertanejos, no livro Vidas Secas, de Graciliano Ramos. Percebemos que novos fatores decorrentes das rápidas transformações sociais, econômicas e tecnológicas afetaram irreversivelmente o modo de organizar a produção e as relações entre capital e trabalho. Contudo, a fase pesada do capitalismo é sobreposta, mas não eliminada, pela fase fluida do capitalismo, que tem potencial para influenciar o fluxo migratório, principalmente, entre grandes cidades, nos países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento.
A (in)visibilidade do cinema brasileiro sob a globalização neoliberal
Authors: Hettwer Henrique Rudolfo
Published: May 2019

Este estudo deriva de discussões acerca da estrutura social e produtiva do cinema brasileiro, com especialistas e cineastas. Das preocupações suscitadas sobre a reduzida visibilidade do audiovisual nacional pela população, houve a fundamentação teórica no contexto histórico e geográfico do capital neoliberal. As multinacionais controlam a distribuição cinematográfica brasileira e avançam consideravelmente sobre a produção e a exibição, com omissão do Estado nacional, que ainda facilitava sua penetração.  Assim, o imaginário brasileiro não se reproduzia nas telas e o esforço de inúmeros talentos nacionais era vilipendiado. Resultado: baixa visibilidade do filme brasileiro, encarecimento dos ingressos, baixo acesso popular, crescente domínio estrangeiro na distribuição e exibição, distintamente da década de 1970, quando o Estado incentivava o cinema nacional através da Embrafilme.

Thixotropic Hardening of Fao Clay
Authors: Kamil Ahmed Shakir , Aljorany Ala Nasir
Published: May 2019

Fao region is characterized by weak soft silty clay to clayey silt thick layer which extends to a depth of about 20 m. The construction of some structures on such soils may needs piles. During the installation of driven piles, the soil geotechnical properties are exposed to significant changes result due to shearing under large shear strains. These changes significantly decrease the shear strength of the virgin soil due to the destruction of soil structure caused by remolding. The degradation of shear strength is usually followed by strength regaining which is called “Thixotropy”. In this study, the thixotropic effect on Fao clay was investigated. Many disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were brought from Fao region. Some of the soil samples were thoroughly remolded in the laboratory in its natural water content and molded as direct shear specimens. More than 180 specimens were prepared and tested over 36 weeks in order to accurately assess the percentage of strength regaining with time passing. The results show that soil remolding causes about a 45 % reduction in shear strength in comparing with the shear strength of the intact soil. This reduced percent in shear strength was almost fully regained after 25 weeks due to thixotropic effect.

Effects of light on human circadian rhythms, sleep and mood
Authors: Blume Christine , Garbazza Corrado , Spitschan Manuel
Published: May 2019

Humans live in a 24-hour environment, in which light and darkness follow a diurnal pattern. Our circadian pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) in the hypothalamus, is entrained to the 24-hour solar day via a pathway from the retina and synchronises our internal biological rhythms. Rhythmic variations in ambient illumination impact behaviours such as rest during sleep and activity during wakefulness as well as their underlying biological processes. Rather recently, the availability of artificial light has substantially changed the light environment, especially during evening and night hours. This may increase the risk of developing circadian rhythm sleep–wake disorders (CRSWD), which are often caused by a misalignment of endogenous circadian rhythms and external light–dark cycles. While the exact relationship between the availability of artificial light and CRSWD remains to be established, nocturnal light has been shown to alter circadian rhythms and sleep in humans. On the other hand, light can also be used as an effective and noninvasive therapeutic option with little to no side effects, to improve sleep, mood and general well-being. This article reviews our current state of knowledge regarding the effects of light on circadian rhythms, sleep, and mood.
Studies on antioxidant and antibacterial activities of crude extracts of Plantago lanceolata leaves
Authors: Int Chem
Published: May 2019

In this study, three different antioxidant activity quantification methods: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging (DPPH), reducing power, FRAP and peroxide value determination including total phenolic, TP, total flavonoid, TF assays of crude leaf extracts of Plantago lanceolata were carried out. The extracts showed significant activities in all antioxidant assays in a concentration dependent manner. The crude extracts were found to possess higher ferric reducing activity ranging from 336.58±0.052 mgAAE/100g (90% methanol) to 172.94±0.032 mgAAE/100g (petroleum ether) and DPPH activity varied from 90.6% (90% methanol) to 36.04% (petroleum ether). Strong correlation of TPC with AEACDPPH and AEACFRAP (R2 = 0.9033 and R2 = 0.8538 respectively) implied that compounds in the extract were proficient to scavenge the DPPH free radical and reducing ferric ions into ferrous ions. Moreover, peroxide values of the extracts were obtained and varied from 19.8 meq/kg (90% methanol) to 379 meq/kg(petroleum ether) and 3.1meq/kg (90% methanol) to 119 meq/kg (petroleum ether) at 70 oC and room temperature respectively. Therefore, P. lanceolata leaf extracts as compared to the control showed effective activity in delaying oxidation of the oil. Antimicrobial capacity evaluation of crude extracts against different gram-positive and gram-negative organisms was also evaluated and a higher degree of antimicrobial activity was observed of crude extracts with MIC and MBC values in the range of 6.25 to 25% were also observed for the crude extracts.
Conformational space analysis of neutral and deprotonated forms of benzoic acid, salicylic acid and phthalic acid using a genetic algorithm
Authors: Int Chem
Published: May 2019

In this paper we present a detailed conformational study of three aromatic systems constituting the basic units of humic acids namely benzoic acid, salicylic acid and phthalic acid. The genetic algorithm, based on the multi-niche crowding (MNC) method, coupled with the semi-empirical AM1 method is used to analyze the potential energy surface (PES) of these systems. This algorithm, implemented in the MOPAC program and piloted by scripts, provides better detection of global and local minima in a reasonable time. The results obtained are comparable with those of previous studies. Three factors can be cited to justify the stability of conformations i.e. effects of conjugation, steric interactions and intramolecular hydrogen bonds.
Inhibition of pipeline steel corrosion in acidic environment using sulphadoxine and pyrimethamine
Authors: Int Chem
Published: May 2019

The anti-corrosive properties of sulphadoxine + pyrimethamine (S+P) on the corrosion of pipeline steel in acidic environment were investigated using electrochemical techniques. The results obtained showed an excellent inhibition efficiency which increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. The corrosion inhibition efficiency increased up to 99.04 % at 0.01M S+P and decreased with rise in temperature down to 85.93 % at 333 K and 0.01 M S+P, suggesting a physiosorptive mechanism of adsorption. Also the adsorption data was fitted into Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms, while the inhibitive action was shown to proceed by mixed inhibition mode.

Authors: Int Chem
Published: May 2019

New copper complexes, [Cu(phen)2(Thy)]2Cl and [Cu(phen)2(Ad)]2Cl (phen = 1,10-phenantroline, Ad (Adenine, a purine nucleobase) and Thy (Thymine, a pyrimidine nucleobase)), were synthesized and characterized by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), conductivity measurement, UV-visible and infrared (IR) techniques. The complexes were tested for their antimicrobial activity against two gram positive and two gram negative bacterial strains. The results of in vitro antimicrobial activities were compared with the commercially available antimicrobial agents (ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol). This comparative study has demonstrated that [Cu(phen)2(Thy)]2Cl inhibited the growth of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureous (MRSA), Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumonia) better than chloramphenicol by 11.25%, 19.41% and 25.35%, respectively. It also showed better activities than ciprofloxacine on MRSA and K. pneumoniae by 2.50% and 12.13%, respectively. Similarly, [Cu(phen)2(Ad)]2Cl demonstrated better inhibitions than chloramphenicol against MRSA, E. coli and K. pneumoniae by 11.24%, 2.48% and 9.06%, respectively. Therefore, after in vivo cytotoxicity investigations, these complexes could be considered as potential antimicrobial agents.

Authors: Int Chem
Published: May 2019

Verbena officinalis Linn is a traditionally known medicinal plant which is used against a number of diseases including inflammatory conditions. In this study its antioxidant activity (reducing powers, 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activities), ferric reduction activity potential (FRAP), total flavonoid concentration and antimicrobial activities of 80%, 90%, 100% methanol and chloroform extracts of V. officinalis Linn root and 90% and100% methanol leaf extracts were determined. Its antioxidant activity increases with increase in amount of extract (10% to 40%v/v). Total flavonoid content (TFC) varied from 73.32±0.002 mgQE/100g of dry weight (90% methanol) to 42.39±0.032 mgQE/100g dry weight (chloroform), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), radical scavenging activity (%) was varied between 87.39% (90% methanol) to 45.57% (chloroform) while Ferric reducing antioxidant power was observed between 372.93±0.04 mgAAE/100 g extract (90% methanol) to 129.41±0.026 mgAAE/100 g chloroform in the root extract. The methanolic extract of the leaf showed less antioxidant activity than the methanolic extract of the root. Crude extracts of V. officinalis root showed various degree of antimicrobial activity towards drug resistance microbial pathogens. Growth inhibition tests against bacterial pathogens demonstrated concentration dependence. Moreover, gram positive bacteria were more susceptible to V. officinalis root extract when compared to gram negative bacteria. In general V. officinalis root and leave extracts possess strong antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.

Nowadays, most of the commercially available resins are synthesized from petroleum based stocks. Besides exhibiting excellent properties, synthetic resins are coming under increasing restrictions due to tightening environmental exposure regulations, high depletion rates and exponential rising prices of petrochemical stocks etc. So, considering an increasing ecological and economical issue in the new generation coating industries, the maximum utilization of naturally available resources for polymer/resin synthesis can be an obvious option. These renewable resources can be utilized for number of polymerization reactions due to their reactive functionalities such as hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups, unsaturation, reactive phenolic structures etc. Therefore, a wide variety of resins can be synthesized from renewable resources, some of them being, alkyd, polyesters, phenolic resins, epoxy resins, polyurethanes, acrylics, vinyl, etc. The present paper discussed the potential of naturally available resources as an environment friendly alternative for petroleum based raw materials as far as coating industries are concerned.
Adsorption and corrosion inhibition characteristics of two medicinal molecules
Authors: Int Chem
Published: May 2019

The corrosion inhibition characteristics of two medicinal molecules phenylalanine and rutin on mild steel in 1.0M Hydrochloric acid were evaluated using gravimetric method. Corrosion inhibition efficiency of 83.78 and 90.40 % was obtained respectively after seven days. However, phenylalanine showed weak accumulative higher corrosion inhibition efficiency. The presence of both molecules in the corrosive environment reduced the corrosion rate constant and increased the material half-life. Thermodynamic data calculated suggests a spontaneous adsorption of the molecules on the mild steel’s surface.
Assessment of heavy metals in tobacco of cigarettes commonly sold in Ethiopia
Authors: Int Chem
Published: May 2019

A significant flux of heavy metals, among other toxins, reaches the lungs through smoking. This study reports Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn contents in tobacco of 11 brands of cigarette commonly sold in Ethiopia. The heavy metals were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry after wet digestion of cigarette tobacco using HNO3 and H2O2. The concentration of trace metals in the cigarettes ranged (mean) (μg/g), Cd: 1.3−7.6 (2.48±0.32), Pb: 0.50−12.50 (6.24±2.2), Cu: 2.89−25.35 (13.70±4.12) and Zn: 24.40−62.55 (36.22±7.50) while Ni was not detected in all the eleven brands of cigarettes. Comparable levels of trace metals were obtained in the tobacco of both imported and Ethiopian cigarettes. The average trace metal contents of cigarettes available in Ethiopia were Cd 1.82±0.39, Pb 4.23±0.97, Cu 10.2±3.1 and Zn 28.2±7.8 μg/cigarette and a person who smokes 20 cigarettes per day is estimated to increase his/her daily Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn retention by approximately 0.036, 0.085, 0.204, 0.564 mg/day, respectively. The results indicate that smoking and exposure to cigarette smoke is a serious problem to be taken into account when carrying out epidemiological studies on human exposure to trace metals.
Effect of X-ray irradiation on growth physiology of Arachis Hypogaea (Var. Kampala)
Authors: Int Chem
Published: May 2019

Small doses of X-ray may stimulate cellular activities and growth while higher doses may cause higher aberrations. Seeds of Arachis hypogaea cv Kampala were exposed singly to X-ray radiations (6 mA-77 mA) X-ray significantly decreased seed germination above 6 mA, reduced root and shoot growth as X-ray exposure increased. X-ray radiation causes chromosomal aberration. Therefore, higher X-ray radiation affects the plant germination negatively by retarding the growth.
