Authors: Singh Kuldip
Published: July 2020

This study examines the influence of organizational trust on job performance by analyzing perceptions of 100 public employees in the Land and Survey Department. The instrument used to measure organizational trust was adopted from Institute for Public Relations (2003). Job performance was measured using an instrument developed by Borman and Motowidlo (1997). Results of the instrument’s Cronbach Alpha measurement show that the score of reliability is above .90 which indicates an acceptable level. The results indicate that organizational trust is positively correlated with job performance. These results imply that job performance may be dependent on organizational trust in the public sector. This study provides insights on the relationship between organizational trust and job performance in the public sector. The findings of this study may help public sector to enhance its organizational trust and its effect on job performance. Limitations and recommendations are also discussed.

Customer Benefits on Bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange
Authors: Hashim Maryam Jameelah , Kamarudin Mohd Faizal , Muhamad Arifin Nur Afizah , Khamis Mohd Rahim
Published: July 2020

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that is powered by blockchain technology. One of it is bitcoin, a system that is digitally created and traded tokens to which value is assigned. The level of adoption of bitcoin has accelerated due to several fiscal crises that leads to financial crashes that have affected the lives of millions of people. This has created a demand for new kinds of niche money. Issues need to be closely discussed before it is fully accepted by customers as a medium of exchange. Even though bitcoin is used as a medium of exchange, there is still no specific guidance and benefits to the users. The issues concernedare whether the customers will get the benefits of privacy, lower transaction costs and freedom in payment. Therefore, the aims of this paper are to identify the relationship between transaction cost, privacy and digital payment as a benefit of bitcoin as a medium of exchange. This research will be conducted in Klang Valley area and the questionnaires will be disseminated directly to respondents. These respondents will be identified using probability simple random sampling. A regression analysis will be conducted comprising 200 observations in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Partial least square-structural equation (PLS-SEM) will be used. In the measurement model, reliability will be assessed by examining the Composite Reliability (CR), while validity will be assessed by convergent validity and discriminant validity. Subsequently, structural model testing with 500 re-samples was applied to test the hypothesized relationships between exogenous variables and endogenous variable. Digital payment and privacy are statistically significant towards the benefit of using bitcoin as a medium of exchange. It was found that the digital payment contributes the highest benefit to the customers followed by privacy. The results provide interesting insight into the determinants for the customers benefit using bitcoin. Although the findings show significant results customers should always decide the good and bad thoroughly before finalizing their decisions on the usage of bitcoin. Therefore, it is hoped that this study will enrich the growing literature on the subject and future research needs to explore on the benefits of using bitcoin among the real users. This study is expected to give guidelines to the policymakers on the implementation of bitcoin as a medium of exchange. It is also expected that the results may provide interesting insight into the determinants of customer benefits using bitcoin. Simultaneously, it will contribute to the elements of industry, innovation and infrastructure.

Authors: Yaacob @ Othman Azmahani , Yusop Zulkorain , A Malek @ Abdul Malek Syazwani
Published: July 2020

The production of paddy and the supply of rice to the consumers should not be viewed as separate segments but as a series of linked segments within a supply chain model. It involved of both upstream and downstream linkages. Each linkage has different processes and activities that produce different value and form of products and services before it reaches to the final customer or consumer. The paddy supply chain in Kelantan starts with the paddy producers (farmers), to the rice millers, then to the traders who will hand it to the wholesale traders, and lastly to the final consumers. A strong linkage between actors in every stage of supply chain can guarantee a competitive production and efficient distribution of paddy and rice from farmers to the final consumers.

Published: July 2020

Technology is moving rapidly and educators have to keep up with this fast pace. Due to the pressure to embrace education revolution 4.0 introduced by the government of Malaysia, universities need to integrate technologies in teaching and learning sessions. To get the knowledge required, academicians need to attend training related. However, due to other commitments, knowledge sharing is the best option to gather the knowledge. Knowledge sharing has been accepted as a key dimension of effective knowledge management in an organization. However this situation is contradicting in education industry where every academician focus more on building their own image as the best academicians (Agyemang et al., 2016; Seonghee and Boryung, 2008). The researchers believe the level of willingness to share knowledge vary from one person to another depending on several factors including personality of individual. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify how personality traits influence knowledge sharing attitude and behaviour among academic staff at Faculty of Business and Management, UiTM Selangor, Puncak Alam Campus. 169 sample of respondents will be collected by using convenience sampling technique. This study aims to contributes to the growing literature on the relationships between personality traits and knowledge sharing attitude and behaviour related to teaching and learning technologies (E-learning) among academicians in higher education.

Nuestro derecho y la postpandemia
Authors: Zaffaroni E. Raúl
Published: July 2020

Cuando se producen cambios de poder planetario, da la sensación de que la historia se acelera. Los cambios actuales eran previsibles. Entre otros, Francisco lo dijo en la Laudato si: esto no se sostiene. La pandemia precipita las cosas, pero además de las advertencias de la OMS, tampoco es algo nuevo en la historia.Si quitamos la máscara ideológica del neoliberalismo, veremos que el mundo está sufriendo un totalitarismo, en este caso financiero, que practica una nueva forma de colonialismo que podemos llamar tardocolonialismo, para diferenciarlo de las etapas anteriores, es decir, del originario y del neocolonialismo. Esta nueva etapa colonial ahora se enrosca sobre sí y paraliza la economía mundial.
Paridad de Género en clave republicana
Authors: Gómez Verónica María
Published: July 2020

La implementación de la Ley de Cupo Femenino en Argentina incrementó la participación femenina en el Congreso Nacional pero no se ha visto reflejada en una distribución igualitaria del poder político. Este trabajo releva algunos de los obstáculos que, a casi tres décadas de la sanción de esa norma, todavía enfrentan las mujeres para influir en los procesos de toma de decisiones e indaga acerca de las razones de su permanencia en el tiempo. En particular, vincula esas limitaciones discriminatorias con los fundamentos liberales que tradicionalmente se han utilizado como justificación de las acciones afirmativas y la connotación sexual de la división entre las esfera pública y privada que ha primado en esa filosofía. Asimismo, considera a la nueva Ley de Paridad de Género como una oportunidad para repensar esos argumentos teóricos y ofrece como alternativa una perspectiva republicana con sustento en los pilares del autogobierno y la libertad como no-dominación.

Relationship between the polymorphism in the interleukin 1-β and the treatment time of patients subjected to a modified piezocision technique
Authors: Aristizabal Juan Fernando , Rios Hector , Rey Diego , Alvarez Maria Antonia , Parra Beatriz , Ortiz Mario
Published: July 2020

Aim:
We aimed to evaluate the correlation between the polymorphism of the interleukin 1-Beta (IL1-β, +3954 C>T) and tooth movement, in a group of Colombian patients undergoing surgically accelerated orthodontic tooth movement.

Methods:
The study was nested to a controlled clinical trial. Blood samples were taken from 11 women and 29 healthy Colombian male volunteers between 18 and 40 years old, after 1 year of starting orthodontic treatment. The patients presented malocclusion class I, with grade II or III. To detect the genetic polymorphism of the nucleotide +3954 C to T in the IL-1β gene, we used a real-time PCR assay.

Results:
Eleven individuals presented the allele 2 (T) heterozygous with the allele 1 (T/C) and 19 individuals were homozygous for the allele 1 (C/C). When analyzing the presence of the SNP, no significant differences were found in any of the variables. The best treatment was reflected in Group 3 (selective upper and lower alveolar decortication and 3D collagen matrix) and Group 4 (only selective alveolar decortication in the upper arch, with 3D collagen matrix), with 27% and 35% more speed respectively than in the control group.

Conclusions:
Our analyses indicated that a reduction in the total treatment time can be mostly potentiated by using decortication and collagen matrices and not for the presence of the allele 2 in the IL-1β. Nevertheless, it is important that further studies investigate if the polymorphism could be associated with the speed of tooth movement and analyze the baseline protein levels.

Consumers and COVID-19: Survey Results on Mask-Wearing Behaviors and Beliefs
Authors: Knotek Edward S. , Schoenle Raphael S. , Dietrich Alexander M. , Müller Gernot J. , Myrseth Kristian Ove R. , Weber Michael
Published: July 2020

Masks or cloth face coverings have the potential to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 without greatly disrupting economic activity if they are widely used. To assess the state of mask wearing, we surveyed US consumers about their recent and prospective mask-wearing behavior. We find that most respondents are wearing masks in public but that some respondents are less likely to follow social-distancing guidelines while doing so, indicating a potential tradeoff between two of the recommended methods that jointly reduce coronavirus transmission. While most respondents indicated that they were extremely likely to wear a mask if required by public authorities, the reported likelihood is strongly dependent on age and perceived mask efficacy.

पाशुपत-सम्प्रदाय की उत्पत्ति छठीं-पाॅचवीं शताब्दी ई. पू. में हुई होगी। परन्तु इससे यह अभिप्राय नहीं निकालना चाहिए कि पाषुपत सम्प्रदाय का उद्भव छठवीं-पाॅचवी शताब्दी ई. पू. कि कोई आकस्मिक घटना मात्र है, क्योंकि किसी भी धार्मिक संस्था अथवा विचारधारा का उद्भव विभिन्न प्रवृत्तियों और परम्पराओं और प्रवृत्तियों और परम्पराओं के पारस्परिक आदान-प्रदान एवं संघात के फलस्वरूप होता है, जो कि शताब्दियों से उस मत विषेष में होती रहती है। भारतीय धर्मसाधना और प्रवृत्तियों को निरन्तर सम्मिश्रण होता रहा है। अतः हम किसी भी धार्मिक संस्था अथवा सिद्धान्त को सर्वथा एकेान्मुख नही मान सकते है। पाशुपत सम्प्रदाय के उद्भव का इतिहास अत्यधिक रोचक है, क्योंकि इसमें भारत की आर्य और अनार्य, वैदिक और अवैदिक, सभ्य और असभ्य, विकसित और अविकसित सभी परम्पराओं के तत्वों का समावेष हुआ है। पाषुपत मत शैव धार्मिक व्यवस्था का प्रथम साम्प्रदायिक उपज है, अतः शैव धर्म की उत्पत्ति की पृष्ठभूमि में ही पाशुपत सम्प्रदाय के निर्माणत्मक तत्वों का विष्लेषण उचित प्रतीत होता है।भारत की सन्दर्भ में यह धारणा और भी अधिक समीचीन लगती है क्योंकि यहीं की धार्मिक विचारधारा उदार एवं सविष्णु आधारों पर विकसित हुई थी और इस उदारवादी प्रवृत्ति के कारण सभी धर्मो एवं विचारधाराओं में विभिन्न परम्पराओं और तत्वों को सम्मिश्रण हुआ।

 

The origin of the Pashupat-Sampradaya in the sixth-fifth century BC. I must have been But it should not be taken from this to mean that the origin of the Pashupat sect was in the sixth-fifth century BC. That is just an accidental event, because any religious institution or ideology arises as a result of mutual exchange and collision of different trends and traditions and tendencies and traditions, which have been in that opinion for centuries. Indian religions and trends have continued to blend. Therefore, we cannot consider any religious institution or principle to be completely eccentric.The history of the emergence of the Pashupat Sampradaya is highly interesting, as it incorporates elements from the traditions of the Aryans and non-Aryans of India, Vedic and non-Vedic, cultured and uncultured, developed and underdeveloped. Pashupat Mat is the first communal product of the Shaivite religious system, so the analysis of the constructive elements of the Pashupat sect seems appropriate in the background of the origin of Shaivism.In the context of India, this notion seems even more expedient because it was here that the religious ideology was developed on liberal and civil grounds and due to this liberal tendency, all religions and ideologies blend different traditions and elements.

A total of 100 turkey raisers were surveyed following convenience method of sampling technique. The primary data were collected, analyzed accordingly and tabular presentation method was applied with the help of simple descriptive statistical measures e.g. frequency distributions, percentage, sum and means to illustrating the results. Profitability analysis was done on the basis of variable cost, fixed cost, return by using arithmetic means and percentages. The study revealed that 87 male and 13 female respondents were surveyed, of them cent percent found educated. About 56% turkey keeper’s main occupation was business, 27% service and 12% in farming while 88.57% involved with farming as secondary sources of income. Average landholding for homestead, cultivable and non-cultivable was 24.40, 129.71 and 29.47 decimal, respectively. About 59% farms started for commercial purpose, 32% for non-commercial purpose and 9% for both. About 60% respondents kept less than 50 turkeys and only 2% kept 501-1000 turkeys. Among the surveyed farms55% stopped their operation and 45% farms found running their business. Among the running farms cent percent were small-scale group. The average feed intake was 192.13 grams per day per bird at 20 weeks of age. Turkey laid on an average 139 eggs a year irrespective of variety and for hatching poults, the fertility and hatchability rate found between 65 to 100% and 50 to 90%, respectively. About 28% farmers experienced the deaths of turkey because of Cold, Pox, Ranikhet, Bird flu and unknown cases and 69.47% farmers took veterinary advice from Upazila Livestock Hospital and rest from other sources. Farmers to consumers were the most common and widely used marketing channel for egg, chick and adult turkey. The market intermediaries of turkey farm carried out different marketing functions e.g. buying and selling, pricing, transportation, sorting, distribution and market information. The average net return and benefit-cost ratio was BDT 127838.04 and 1.38, respectively for 50 turkeys per year. In the study, turkey rearing found some comparative benefit over chicken and ducks e.g. higher weight gain, forage eater, lower diseases rate and suitability for the country. The main problem of turkey rearing identified as market instability, lack of quality turkey feed, higher feed price, lack of proper marketing facility and training on turkey farming. In conclusion, the small-scale turkey farming could be a viable source of income for the rural people of Bangladesh after taking some remedial steps by the Government of Bangladesh for the aforesaid hindrances faced by the turkey farmers.

Parte-se da hipótese de que sua condição de negra é construída pelos resquícios de um colonialismo que marginaliza os subalternizados. Ancora-se nos fundamentos teóricos da Semiótica de Peirce (2008), no que se refere a signo e represen-tação, sob o olhar de Santella (1992/2000/2003) e Araújo (2004), bem como nos princípios de decolonialidade, alicerçados por Bernardino-Costa e Grosfoguel (2016), Quintero et al (2019). Quanto à metodologia, trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, em que o método se retroalimenta pela fenomenologia, tendo em vista que os sentidos do signo mu-lher negra, inserida em seu quotidiano intersemiótico, movem o estudo.
Whole-Part-Whole Reading Instruction in the Teaching and Learning of Arabic as a Foreign Language at Beginner Level
Authors: Facchin Andrea
Published: July 2020

The neurological bimodality theory, espousing the principles of directionality and cerebral hemisphericity, has led to a series of expedients in the field of foreign language teaching, like the use of inductive strategies. Accordingly, this contribution focuses on a methodological proposal stemming from the aforementioned theoretical perspectives and tackles the question of reading in the early phase of Arabic as Foreign Language learning. In doing so it questions how to teach Modern Standard Arabic at beginner level and proposes solutions to it through the use of new technological tools in the service of languages. Specifically, the focus is set on Pre-A1 and A1 levels of the recently issued Companion Volume to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. As a result of theoretical reasoning, the ‘Whole-Part-Whole’ method teaching philosophy is presented, theorized and verified in relation to the study of Arabic by non-Arab beginner learners.
The Architectural Heritage as a Projection of Competition and Negotiation
Authors: Mondini Sara
Published: July 2020

Recent studies have reported that the mausoleum of Aḥmad Shāh I Bahmanī (r. 1422-1436), in Ashtur (Karnataka), is frequented by both Muslims and Vīraśaivas. Now, setting out from the pilgrimage performed on the occasion of the sovereign’s ʿurs, the aim of the present contribution is to analyze some of the architectural sites that are touched by the pilgrimage, and to examine how their spaces are understood and perceived by the devotees. The paper aims to shed light on the coexistence of these two religious groups and on the way in which certain forms of competition and negotiation have come to be transposed onto the cultural and historical landscape.
An Analysis of Some Illustrated Books by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) in the Museum of Oriental Art in Venice
Authors: Vesco Silvia
Published: July 2020

The collection of Japanese prints, albums and illustrated books (ehon) in the Museum of Oriental Art in Venice is the result of the last stop in Japan of a journey to the Far East of Prince Henry Bourbon-Parma, Count of Bardi and his wife Adelgunde of Bragança, during the years 1887-1889. The gathering of more than thirty thousand objects became the core of the present collection. Among these there are about 500 illustrated books of famous ukiyoe masters, surimono, and colour prints nishikie. The creation of catalogue entries in Japanese and Italian and the analysis of each print reveals an amazing quantity of unpublished ukiyoe masterpieces and allows a division into different groups according to the subject matter. At the same time, this distinction into different genres shows an interesting tendency in the formation of the collection together with a possible new classification of the prints themselves. This study aims to shed a new light on this particular collection while focusing on a series of illustrated books by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1848). Among these the famous volumes of the Manga, the illustrated books on warriors, an unusual album with some prints from the One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji and a selection from the five volumes dedicated to teach the artisans how to draw all kind of decorations.
Agentes de paz: la potencia generativa de lo cotidiano

Published: July 2020

Las reflexiones que aquí se presentan aluden a una investigación-intervención comprometida con la construcción de culturas de paz en contextos cotidianos, en los cuales se ha instalado una cultura de la violencia que se invisibiliza y naturaliza como manera privilegiada de resolver los conflictos. A partir de la información que emerge de las conversaciones y enunciaciones recogidas en un proceso de intervención realizado con integrantes de la escuela de padres de un colegio público en la ciudad de Bogotá, se presentan resultados en clave de categorías e intuiciones locales útiles para la comprensión y el abordaje de procesos de construcción de culturas de paz, las cuales aluden a las diferentes conexiones que emergen entre los conceptos de paz, memoria y tejido social, entre las cuales se encuentran: la paz es un ejercicio que empieza conmigo; la paz se teje en las conexiones con los otros; la paz necesita una memoria sensible y la memoria invita a fortalecer las redes.
Потребление и переваримость питательных веществ пастбищных кормов лошадьми якутской породы при свободной пастьбе

Величина потребления пастбищных кормов в дополнение к химическим и биологическим данным является важным практическим показателем их кормовой ценности. Проанализированы особенности потребления и переваримости пастбищных кормов якутской лошадью в Республике Саха. При постановке опыта был применен индикаторный метод. Установлена тенденция увеличения потребления кормов в зависимости от переваримости сухого вещества. В летнее время на 1 кг живой массы лошади потребляют от 39 – 41 г сухого вещества, в зимнее время — 31 – 36 г. Уровень потребления отавы естественного травостоя с внесением удобрений и озимой ржи показывает, что эти корма являются вполне пригодными для использования их в качестве тебеневочных кормов.

Abstrak

Pengukuran produktivitas yang akurat dapat memberikan informasi yang berguna dalam meningkatkan daya saing. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk memahami perbedaan dalam produktivitas relatif antar-negara. Hal ini memungkinkan negara untuk fokus dan berspesialisasi dalam produk-produk mereka yang relatif lebih produktif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pola dasar keunggulan komparatif, dengan industri baja Indonesia sebagai fokus analisis. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis RCA berbasis regresi dengan metode variabel instrumen (instrument variable/IV) yang menggunakan data ekspor dari 25 negara ke 35 negara tujuan dari tahun 2010-2017. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia memiliki keunggulan komparatif terkuat di industri baja di antara negara-negara ASEAN. Meskipun industri baja adalah industri ke-27 dalam peringkat nilai keunggulan komparatif dalam negeri Indonesia, ada beberapa produk yang memiliki keunggulan komparatif yang kuat dan bahkan memiliki posisi yang kuat secara internasional. Selain itu, penting untuk mengikutsertakan beberapa negara ASEAN sebagai observasi dalam mengestimasi parameter kunci produktivitas karena menghasilkan estimasi baru θ, yang masih sejalan dengan literatur yang ada.

 

Abstract

Accurate productivity measurements can provide useful information in improving competitiveness. Therefore, it is important to understand the differences in relative productivity among countries, allowing countries to focus and specialize in their relatively more productive products. This study aims to analyze the fundamental patterns of comparative advantage, with the Indonesian steel industry as the focus of analysis. This research uses the regression-based method of revealed comparative advantage (RCA) analysis with an instrument variable (IV) method that employs export data from 25 exporting countries to 35 destination countries during 2010 - 2017. The result shows that Indonesia has the strongest comparative advantage in the steel industry among the ASEAN countries. Even though the steel industry is ranked 27th in Indonesia’s comparative advantage values, several products have a strong comparative advantage and even a strong position internationally. In addition, it is worth including some ASEAN countries in the observation of estimating the key parameter of productivity, while not the main focus of the paper, yields a new estimate of θ, which is still in line with the literature.

OPTIMALISASI PERAN PPNS BEA DAN CUKAI DALAM PENANGANAN PERKARA KEPABEANAN PERDAGANGAN SATWA DILINDUNGI
Authors: Zakariya Rizki
Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT: The rise of illegal wildlife trade threatens Indonesia's biodiversity. This was compounded by the development of an increasingly organized and transnational mode of perpetrators of crime. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out optimal and up-to-date law enforcement efforts for illegal wildlife traffickers, particularly by the Civil Servant Investigator at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. The results of this study indicate the urgency of optimizing the role of customs and excise PPNS in handling customs cases of trade in protected animals because of the increase in protected wild animals that are threatened with extinction; weak strength of evidence of illegal wildlife trade cases at the trial; and the development of an illegal wildlife trade crime mode. Then the optimization efforts can be made by pursuing assets of perpetrators of crime, the use of electronic evidence, and strengthening the cooperation of national and multi-national institutions. So hopefully with these efforts, the purpose of this writing, namely the handling of protected wildlife trade cases run optimally by PPNS Directorate General of Customs and Excise. This research is a qualitative normative juridical research study using a statute approach, a case approach, and a comparative approach.Keywords: Biodiversity, Trade, Animals, Protected. ABSTRAK: Maraknya perdagangan satwa liar ilegal mengancam keanekaragaman hayati Indonesia. Hal itu ditambah dengan berkembangnya modus pelaku kejahatan yang semakin terorganisir dan transnasional. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan upaya penegakan hukum secara optimal dan mutakhir kepada para pelaku perdagangan satwa liar illegal, khususnya oleh Penyidik Pegawai Negeri Sipil Direktorat Jenderal Bea dan Cukai. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan urgensi optimalisasi peran PPNS Bea dan Cukai dalam penanganan perkara kepabeanan perdagangan satwa dilindungi karena meningkatnya satwa liar dilindungi yang terancam punah; lemahnya kekuatan pembuktian perkara perdagangan satwa liar illegal di persidangan; dan berkembangnya modus kejahatan perdagangan satwa liar ilegal. Kemudian upaya optimalisasi tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan pengejaran aset pelaku kejahatan, pemanfaatan bukti elektronik, dan penguatan kerjasama lembaga nasional maupun multi nasioanl. Sehingga diharapkan dengan upaya tersebut, maka tujuan penulisan ini, yakni penanganan perkara perdagangan satwa liar dilindungi berjalan optimal oleh PPNS Bea dan Cukai. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum yuridis normatif kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan undang-undang (statute approach), pendekatan kasus (case approach), dan pendekatan komparatif (comparative approach).Kata Kunci: Keanekaragaman Hayati, Perdagangan, Satwa, Dilindungi.
