Authors: Permada Dewi Nari Ratih
Published: September 2019

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahu pengaruh quick ratio, debt to equity ratio dan working capital turnover terhadap pertumbuhan laba PT Wijaya Karya Tbk periode tahun 2007 sampai dengan tahun 2017. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif.  Hasil penelitian Tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara variabel quick ratio (X1) terhadap pertumbuhan laba (Y) dengan koefisien korelasi sebesar 1,098 atau (rx1y=1,098). Tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara variabel debt to equity ratio (X2) terhadap pertumbuhan laba (Y) dengan koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,065 atau (rx2y=0,065). Tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara variabel working capital turnover (X3) terhadap pertumbuhan laba (Y) dengan koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,025 atau (rx3y=0,025). Tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara variabel quick ratio (X1), debt to equity ratio (X2), dan working capital turnover (X3) secara simultan terhadap pertumbuhan laba (Y) dengan persamaan Y = -1,348 + 1,098 X1 + 0,065 X2 + 0,025 X3. Nilai koefisien determinasi adalah sebesar 0,179. Nilai ini menjelaskan bahwa pengaruh vairable quick ratio (X1), debt to equity ratio (X2)dan working capital turnover (X3) berpengaruh 17,9% terhadap pertumbuhan laba (Y) sedangkan 82,1% dipengaruhi oleh variabel lain. Dengan kata lain  pengaruh ke tiga variabel bebas sangat lemah terhadap variabel terikatnya

Porosity Characterization and Its Effect on Thermal Properties of APS-Sprayed Alumina Coatings
Authors: Tillmann Wolfgang , Khalil Omar , Abdulgader Mohamed
Published: September 2019

In the thermal spraying process, the porosity of ceramic coatings contributes directly to the efficiency of the thermal insulation. The size, shape, and distribution of the pores determine the level of both thermal and sintering resistance. In this work, three different atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) alumina coatings were fabricated with the same spraying parameters using alumina powders with fine, medium, and coarse particle size. The microstructure of the obtained coatings was analyzed regarding the obtained total porosity, pore size, and pore shape. It was found that it is expedient to divide the pore size range into fine, medium, and large sizes. The shape was characterized with regard to the circularity aspect. In this way, all types of cracks can be considered as oblate pores and were included in the calculation of the total porosity. In the case of using fine feedstock powder, the densest coatings were produced among all coatings, and the fraction of fine pores and cracks are thereby substantially higher. However, the total porosity increases with increasing feedstock powder size. A connection was also made between thermal insulation and porosity fraction which includes fine pores and cracks.

Electromagnetic wave backscattering by corner reflectors in an anechoic chamber is studied using our developed computational tool. The tool applies the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method to simulate the propagation of the wave’s electric and magnetic fields. Experimental measurement in an anechoic chamber is also carried out as a comparison. The two results show agreement, including the finding that the backscatter intensity variation amongst the four circularly polarized modes is significantly smaller than the variation amongst the four linearly polarization modes.

Published: September 2019

Underground infrastructure is a critical component of the basic utility services provided to society. The single largest threat to the safety of underground utility lines is being struck by construction earthwork projects. One of the causes of this problem is miscommunication between utility owners and contractors. Therefore, it is vitally important to coordinate resources, share information, and ensure efficient communication between construction personnel and utility owners. Geographic information systems (GIS) provide a solution for interoperability in the construction industry. Applying such technologies in the field of underground construction requires accurate and up-to-date information. Augmented reality (AR) has been identified as a technique that could enhance information extraction from the virtual world to the real world and improve the access and utilization of information. However, there is currently limited research that has integrated AR and GIS and evaluated the effectiveness and usability of the combination in this domain. The main objective of this research was to develop an integrated AR-GIS for mapping and capturing underground utilities using a mobile device. The data are shared instantaneously with other stakeholders through a cloud-based system. In order to achieve these objectives, a design research approach was utilized to develop and evaluate a mobile extended-reality (XR-GIS) application. Validation of the XR-GIS was conducted through a focus group discussion and a questionnaire. The results revealed that 86% of the participants validated the system’s adaptivity to the underground construction. We can conclusively say that this research has produced an efficient solution for data collection and sharing among stakeholders in the underground construction industry.

Published: September 2019

Alpinetin, a bioactive flavonoid, has been known to have a diverse therapeutic effect, with namely anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antioxidant effects with low systemic toxicity. This study aimed to obtain metabolic profiles of alpinetin in orally administrated rats. The metabolites of alpinetin were systematically analyzed and identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). The chromatographic separation was achieved on a High Strength Silica (HSS) T3 (1.8 μm, 2.1 × 100 mm) column with the mobile phase consisting of water containing 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid via gradient elution. An extracted ion chromatogram strategy based on multiple prototype/metabolite intermediate templates and 71 typical metabolic reactions was proposed to comprehensively profile the metabolites of alpinetin. With the metabolite profiling strategy, altogether 15 compounds were recognized from urine, plasma, bile and feces of rats after intragastric administration of alpinetin for the first time. The prototype, glucuronide conjugates and phenolic acids metabolites were the probable predominant form of alpinetin in rats. This work showed a comprehensive study of the probable metabolic pathways of alpinetin in vivo, which could provide meaningful information for future pharmacological studies.

Published: September 2019

With the increase in the number of medicines patients have to take, there has been a rapid rise of fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) in the last two decades. Prior to FDC development, pharmacokinetic properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) have to be evaluated, as well as methods for their determination developed. So as to increase patient compliance in inflammatory bowel disease, three novel FDCs of thiopurine immunosuppressants and folic acid are proposed; physico-chemical and pharmacokinetic properties such as hydrophobicity, lipophilicity and plasma protein binding of all APIs are evaluated. Moreover, experimental results of different properties are compared to those computed by various on-line prediction platforms so as to evaluate the viability of the in silico approach. A simultaneous method for their determination is developed, optimized, validated and applied to commercial tablet formulations. The method has shown to be fast, selective, accurate and precise, showing potential for reliable determination of API content in proposed FDCs during its development.
A Review of the Science and Logic Associated with Approach Used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation Family of Models
Authors: Kinnell P. I. A.
Published: September 2019

Soil erosion caused by rain is a major factor in degrading agricultural land, and agricultural practices that conserve soil should be used to maintain the long-term sustainability of agricultural land. The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) was developed in the 1960s and 1970s to predict the long-term average annual soil loss from sheet and rill erosion on field-sized areas as an aid to making management decisions to conserve soil. The USLE uses six factors to take account of the effects of climate, soil, topography, crops, and crop management, and specific actions designed to conserve soil. Although initially developed as an empirical model based on data from more than 10,000 plot years of data collected in plot experiments in the USA, the selection of the independent factors used in the model was made taking account of scientific understanding of the drivers involved in rainfall erosion. In addition, assumptions and approximations were needed to make an operational model that met the needs of the decision makers at that time. Those needs have changed over time, leading to the development of the Revised USLE (RUSLE) and a second version of that, the Revised USLE, Version 2 (RUSLE2). While the original USLE model was not designed to predict short-term variations in erosion well, these developments have involved more use of conceptualization in order to deal with the time-variant impacts of the drivers involved in rainfall erosion. The USLE family of models is based on the concept that the “unit” plot, a bare fallow area 22.1 m long on a 9% slope gradient with cultivation up and down the slope, provides a physical situation where the effect of climate and soil on rainfall erosion can be determined without the need to consider the impact of the four other factors. The science and logic associated with this approach is reviewed. The manner by which the soil erodibility factor is determined from plot data ensures that the long-term average annual soil loss for the unit plot is predicted well, even when the assumption that event soil loss is directly related to the product of event rainfall energy, and the maximum 30-min intensity is not wholly appropriate. RUSLE2 has a capacity to use CLIGEN, the weather generator used in WEPP, and so can predict soil losses based on individual storms in a similar way to WEPP. Including a direct consideration of runoff in determining event erosivity enhances the ability to predict event soil losses when runoff is known or predicted well, but similar to more process-based models, this ability is offset by the difficulty in predicting runoff well.

It bridges a gap in knowledge in relation between SMTs and its impact in HLIs. Mobile learning and SMTs deliver the ability to communicate with academicians and students. HLIs should take this opportunity to connect SMTs to design a modern educational setting that will advance their learning experiences. It shows that SMTs have a great value for academic associated, particularly as a teaching and learning tool. HLIs and students have identified numerous challenges related to the adoption process. This study reviews and evaluates the SMTs related research articles published in academic journals between the year 2010 to 2018, mainly in HLIs fields. It identifies the impacts of SMTs on both students and academicianss in HLIs and associate how SMTs can be effectively connected to Mobile learning to support and enhance the students’ learning in Malaysia.

L2 motivation research has witnessed great development during recent decades. To re-conceptualize, the ‘integrativeness’ of the traditional socio-educational model, Dörnyei (2005) proposed the L2 motivational self system for better understanding and predicting L2 motivation. Therefore, the theory of Dornyei’s L2 Motivational Self System was employed to investigate the English learning motivation of L2 learners in China context by conducting a qualitative study. The data were collected from eight Chinese university students by semi-structured interviews. It revealed that the ideal L2 self, ought-to L2 self and L2 learning experience all contributed to the intended learning efforts of L2 learners. Overall, the current study provided empirical and qualitative evidence to support the construct of Dörnyei’s L2 Motivational Self System in China context.

Background: Emotional intelligence (EI) involves a combination of competencies which allow a person to be aware of, to understand the emotions of others and to use this knowledge to foster their and others success. Objective: This study aims to provide a systematic review of published researches on the emotional intelligence among women. Methodology: To achieve this aims, papers were selected in January 2019 with search terms “Emotional intelligence” “Emotional intelligence among women” and “Gender in emotional intelligence” from five databases: Scopus, PsycINFO, Springer, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. 26 research based article were evaluated published from 2010 to 2018. Results: The analysis the published articles considered two basic central themes in the study of emotional intelligence among women: level of women emotional intelligence and emotional intelligence attributes. The study revealed the level of emotional intelligence is low, meaning that women are less emotionally intelligent. Similarly, the study identified ten (10) emotional intelligence attributes among women which include empathy, social responsibility, stress tolerance, emotional self-awareness, emotional expression, independence, flexibility, problem solving, impulse control, interpersonal relationships and optimism. Conclusions: Considering the results of various studies analysed in this review clearly, identified methodological weakness in emotional intelligence study such as sample size most of the studies but only few studies recognised and report the limitation. Similarly, none of these studies investigate the causes of this low state of emotional intelligence among women. The findings add to the growing empirical evidence regarding emotional intelligence. Future researches should look into some of these limitation and address sample size challenges, for batter generalization of research findings, sample size should always be considered. Future work should as well examine in more detail the role of cognitive or other factors in determining the emotional intelligence among women

To achieve regional economic growth, the role of regional budgets is very important. In this regard, the utilization of regional economic and financial resources is an important factor in supporting the implementation of the fiscal decentralization system in the area. The implementation of fiscal decentralization in Indonesia is marked by the process of transferring financial resources to regions in significant amounts. In the last five years (2011-2015), the proportion of balancing funds to total regional income nationally reached an average of 73%. Despite the huge spike in decentralization policies, the implementation of fiscal decentralization in East Kalimantan Province, one of Indonesia's provinces, till now has not been able to bring about improving the welfare of local communities. In reality, there is still income inequality, although still relatively low in East Kalimantan Province. This study performs to measure the impact of fiscal decentralization on economic growth and income inequality in East Kalimantan – Indonesia. The hypothesis in this study is that fiscal decentralization negatively affects income inequality directly or indirectly through economic growth in East Kalimantan – Indonesia. The aim of this study is how to use the heuristic network to prove this hypothesis.
