Stochastic Analysis of a Three-Unit Non-Identical Repairable System with Simultaneous Working of Cold Standby Units
Authors: Kadyan S. , Malik S. C. , Gitanjali
Published: January 2021

Here, stochastic analysis of a repairable system of three units has been carried out by taking one unit in operation (called main unit) and two identical units (called duplicate units) in cold standby. The switch device is used to convert the standby units into operative mode. A single server is hired to handle repair activities of the units who visits the system instantly whenever needed. The repair done by the server is perfect and thus the repaired unit follows the same lifetime distribution as the original. The constant failure rates are considered for both main and the duplicate units while their repair time distributions are taken as arbitrary. Some important reliability measures including mean sojourn times (MST), transition probabilities (TP), mean time to system failure (MTSF), availability, expected number of repairs for both kinds of units separately, expected number of visits by the server and busy period analysis of the server due to repair are determined using semi-Markov process (SMP) and regenerative point technique (RPT). The arbitrary values of the parameters are considered to examine the behaviour of some significant reliability measures through graphs. The possible application of the system model can be visualized in a power supply system of a house where a set of solar panels are kept in spare for their simultaneously working when main power supply is discontinued.

Published: January 2021

In the development of a high-precision vertical Fizeau interferometer with a 300-mm aperture, the deformation of the transmission flat because of clamping and gravity must be considered. In this paper, we proposed a ring-point support scheme for the deformation calibration of a large-diameter transmission flat. The calibration theory of the ring-point support system with elastic deformation was derived. The changes in the surface and stress field of the transmission flat were analyzed quantitatively by finite element method modeling, leading to the optimization of the support structure. To validate the proposed calibration approach, we performed an absolute test of the transmission flat using a liquid reference. The test result was compared to a measurement of the Zygo interferometer demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed ring-point support design. Finally, with the iterative deformation calibration, the accuracy of the transmission flat reached λ/25 (Peak Valley, PV) for a 300-mm aperture.
Educational leadership research, Twitter and the curation of followership
Authors: Eacott Scott
Published: January 2021

For an applied field, the role of research expertise is of considerable importance. With an increasing number of school leaders turning to social media for their professional learning–as part of a broader digital turn in knowledge generation, distribution, and consumption–the argument of this paper is that the notion of research expertise in educational leadership is shifting. Traditional modes of acquiring and sustaining research capital (e.g., publications, citations, research income) have been replaced by social presence, profile building, and the curation of followership. Building on work claiming there is a 'cult of the guru' in educational leadership, this paper draws on an appropriation of Hall's Kardashian index (K-index) for 50 researchers, an analysis of Twitter user networks using NodelXL, and relational theorizing to investigate the ways in which research expertise is being mobilized / recast by educational leadership researchers on Twitter. Establishing an empirical foundation for ongoing dialogue and debate it is argued that the recasting of research expertise to those curating followership, and potentially divorced from research performance, is of timely significance for the ongoing credibility of the field both internally and within the broader academy.
On Observance of the Rules of Legislative Technique when DevelopingStatutory Acts of Altai Krai for Physical Training and Sports
Authors: Kovalenko Ekaterina , Tydykova Nadezhda , Shavandina Olga
Published: January 2021

The article is focused on the analysis of the statutory legal acts of Altai Krai for physical training and sports from the standpoint of compliance with the rules of legislative technology. The authors note that there is no single abridgement of such rules, and this, in particular, is the cause of many technical defects in the legislation. Therefore, the position of those researchers who propose to pass a special act is supported, which would enshrine in law the proper requirements and rules of legislative technology. The study has considered the criteria often mentioned by researchers in the relevant literature.Some of them are: compliance with the distribution of the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and the subjects of the Russian Federation established by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, lack of excessive duplication of federal legislation, provision of consistency, completeness and detail of legal regulation, present norms regulating relations with reference to regional specificity. The analysishas been applied to: Act of Altai Krai of 11.09.2008 N 68-ЗС «On Physical Training and Sports in Altai Krai» and Statutory Order of Altai Krai Administration dated 04.03.2011 N 100 «On the Strategy for the Development of Physical Training and Sports in Altai Kraifor the Period up to 2020».Overoll, they have received a positive assessment, both in terms of content and writing technique. Yet some problems have been identified. An inconsistency with the distribution of the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation established by the Constitution of the Russian Federation has beennoted, and a proposal has been formulated to exclude the corresponding provision from the regional act. There has been revealed the presence of duplications of federal legislation that do not carry amessage. Examples of norms with their detailed analysis have been given, where the consistency, completeness and detail of legal regulation are not provided. Proposals have been formulated to expand the provisions aimed at addressing issueswith reference to regional specificity.
Game by Someone Else's Rules: a Quest Scenario as an Object of the Authorship Attribution
Authors: Abramkina Elena
Published: January 2021

The authorship attribution of quest scenarios is discussed as an expertcase study. The expert has been assigned a task  which involved tracing the signs of copying and revising of one text in another. The genre approach is employed: a description of important structure elements and linguistics characteristics of the quest scenario is given. The expertise is performed as per procedure of authorship examination: separatestudy of the texts, comparative study and the conclusion. The research has arrived at the conclusion,that the authorship attribution of the quest scenario, focused on the determination of the signs of copying and revising of one text in another,is similar in methods and features to a trademark expertise, because it also involves  identifying similarity or difference of structures and semantic elements of the texts.
Speech Portrait of Personality as a Tool of Forensic AuthorshipAttribution
Authors: Mursa Irina
Published: January 2021

The article discussesapplication of speech portraitpotential in forensic authorship attribution. An illustrative example is the speech portraits of Russian vernacular native speakers of different ages and genders living in the same language community - the village of Kamyshenka, Altai Krai. The results of the study can be used for speech identification within the framework forensic authorship attribution, since the described lexical and grammatical features of the speech of each respondent form unique combinations that allow for the identification procedure. The nature of the narrative strategies in the structure of the speech portrait is also established, which are no less, if sometimes even a more informative feature of the speech portrait of a linguistic persona than the lexical and grammatical features of the speech.
Communication in Social Networks: Factors of Potential Conflicts
Authors: Ivanenko Galina
Published: January 2021

Social networks are a relatively new type of communication that has its own specificity. The article raises the problem of communication in the social network in terms of potentialconflicts. The analysis of modern judicial practice has shown that the number of proceedings in which communication in the social network has played a significant role is increasing. The factors of network interaction that influence the emergence and development of conflict are considered. The factors of conflict communication in social networks include the following: 1) lack of differentiation between the features publicity/ privacy, resulting from the hybridization of language models and means of public and private communication; 2) lack of non-verbal means of communication, which is partly, but not fully enough, compensated through specific ideographic sign system ofthe Internet communication; 3) round-the-clock network availability and, in this regard,extended communication time, which generatesunlimited communication,provoking decrease of self-control and diversity in time; 4) the weakening of traditional ethical prohibitions for communicationat distance as a result of an attempt to use various images and cultural codes that reflect them in face-to-face communication, including those that differ from those inherent to face-to-face communication; 5) stylistic degradation of the speech culture of communication, manifested  in two types: the use of lower-range vocabulary to imitate colloquial discursive practice and the use of colloquial, slang, taboo language units for the purpose of speech aggression,verbal insult. Awareness of the causes of speech conflicts in social networks, often leading to the violation of  legal rules and to legal proceedings, minimizes the risk of its occurrence and makes it possible to get the maximum benefit from the new communication means provided by the technological progress.

Authors: Souza Gustavo Henrique Costa , Wanderley Cláudio de Araújo , Horton Kate
Published: January 2021

A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar o perfil dos controllers no contexto brasileiro. Partindo de dois perfis específicos (bean counters e business partners), o estudo se revestiu de uma tríplice missão: primeiro, relacionar quais as principais atividades desempenhadas por controllers atuantes no Brasil; segundo, discernir qual destes perfis destacados é predominante; e terceiro, identificar se a autonomia e o envolvimento dos controllers estão associados ao tamanho e à descentralização da organização em que atuam. O método empregado para a coleta de dados consistiu na aplicação de um questionário, enviado por e-mail a controllers de todo o país, os quais responderam validamente 111 questionários, o que representou uma taxa de resposta de 18,62%. As respostas evidenciam que entre as atividades dos controllers predominam: análise de relatórios financeiros, controle de desempenho gerencial, escrituração, e monitoramento fiscal. Os resultados apontam, ainda, uma prevalência de bean counters (74,5 % da amostra). Em geral, os controllers se caracterizaram por serem homens, pós-graduados, de meia idade (média de 43 anos), com cerca de 6,8 anos de experiência em controladoria. A relação entre descentralização e envolvimento se mostrou, de fato, positiva e significante. A associação entre as variáveis contingenciais e o elemento autonomia não se confirmou.
CEOs INSIDERS E AS PRÁTICAS DE GERENCIAMENTO DE RESULTADOS EM COMPANHIAS ABERTAS LISTADAS NA [B]3
Authors: Corazza Francielle , Dal Magro Cristian Baú , Mazzioni Sady , Klann Roberto Carlos
Published: January 2021

O objetivo do estudo é analisar se as características dos CEOs insiders influenciam nas práticas de gerenciamento de resultados das companhias de capital aberto listadas na [B]3. A amostra foi composta por 192 empresas não financeiras, totalizando 2.112 observações no período 2008-2018. Para analisar os resultados utilizou-se a técnica de regressão linear múltipla. A contribuição do estudo recai na clara identificação de que no trade-off entre escolhas contábeis ou decisões operacionais, os CEOs insiders preferem utilizar os accruals discricionários para gerenciamento dos resultados. Em termos práticos, os resultados indicam que a preocupação dos insiders é com a manutenção dos resultados no longo prazo, tendo em vista que a opção por decisões operacionais pode prejudicar a perpetuidade da empresa, com cortes em despesas prioritárias e na produção acima da demanda. A contribuição teórica do estudo está em evidenciar que nos primeiros anos de mandato, os CEOs insiders são mais propensos a praticar gerenciamento de resultados pelas duas opções, enquanto no longo mandato se tornam mais conservadores, abandonando ambas as práticas. O estudo também permitiu demonstrar que os CEOs insiders com formação em contabilidade têm preferência pela manipulação de resultados mediante decisões operacionais, enquanto para os CEOs insiders mais velhos as evidências foram mistas e com coeficientes de baixo resultado econômico.
CAPACIDADE PREDITIVA DA DRE: A ESCOLHA NORMATIVA BRASILEIRA FAVORECE?
Authors: Stanzani Lívia Maria Lopes , Nakao Sílvio Hiroshi
Published: January 2021

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar se a obrigatoriedade de apresentação das despesas por função na face da DRE no Brasil afeta a capacidade preditiva dos usuários, especialmente dos analistas, mesmo com a apresentação também obrigatória das despesas por natureza nas notas explicativas. Para tanto, foram analisadas 54 empresas brasileiras de capital aberto, durante um período de cinco anos, utilizando-se como metodologia a abordagem de análise de dados em painel. Com base nos resultados obtidos, nota-se que a classificação das despesas por natureza é mais preditiva de lucro futuro quando comparada à classificação por função. No entanto, as evidências sugerem que os analistas utilizam a informação apresentada na DRE (por função) para realizarem projeções, mesmo com a disponibilidade das despesas por natureza em nota explicativa, o que pode afetar a sua assertividade. Ademais, é possível inferir que o erro nas projeções dos analistas tende a ser maior quando eles analisam empresas com alto nível de custos fixos embutidos. Assim, o artigo contribui com a literatura de escolhas contábeis ao trazer evidências de que a restrição imposta por meio de normatização ao método de apresentação das despesas na DRE pode limitar a capacidade preditiva das informações contábeis a nível nacional, além de influenciar a qualidade das projeções dos analistas de mercado.

Authors: Sampaio Sulanny de Souza , Da Rocha Maria Marcela Ramos , Cavalcante Sueli Maria de Araújo , Rodrigues Maxweel Veras
Published: January 2021

Objectives: To identify the determinant factors for student dropout in Accounting Sciences courses at Federal Universities in the Northeast region.Methods: This is a descriptive-exploratory study with a quantitative approach and survey usage. The sampling is non-probabilistic and intentional, covering all federal universities in the Northeast region of Brazil and consisting of 220 students who had enrolled in Accounting Science Courses in 2019. A questionnaire adapted from Cunha, Nascimento and Durso (2016) was also used, and data were interpreted through descriptive and factor analysis.Results or discussion: The results showed us that the vocational factor with the greatest factor loading was the one related to the type of admission, resulting from a successful selection process for the course in question and not for the student's preferred course. The most relevant institutional factor was related to the lack of information about the course as provided by the institution. The students' perception of the performance factor showed that the item with the highest factor loading was the one related to the student's difficulty in following the course because he or she did not have enough time to study.Contributions: The results indicate that the institution, with the information provided, may act directly upon the identified weaknesses through specific actions in order to reduce dropout rates.
DESEMPENHO DA AQUISIÇÃO CORPORATIVA ENTRE EMPRESAS BRASILEIRAS FAMILIARES E NÃO FAMILIARES DE CAPITAL ABERTO
Authors: Oliveira Rafael Manoel de , Pimenta Daiana Paula , Ferreira Marília Paranaíba , Ribeiro Alex Mussoi
Published: January 2021

Objetivo: Este estudo objetiva verificar se as aquisições realizadas por empresas familiares geram melhor desempenho do que aquelas realizadas por empresas não familiares listadas na B3 no período entre 2009 e 2016.Método: As informações necessárias foram coletadas na base de dados da Thomson Reuters Eikon e no site da B³, e a classificação das empresas em familiares ou não familiares foi feita por meio da abordagem de componente de envolvimento da família no controle, na propriedade e na gestão da empresa e da abordagem de identidade organizacional. Regressões múltiplas com dados empilhados foram estimadas para a amostra de 244 aquisições (86 empresas).Resultados: Os resultados indicaram que as empresas brasileiras familiares apresentam, em média, desempenho superior dos eventos de aquisições corporativas em relação às empresas brasileiras não familiares. Os achados são consistentes com a Teoria da Agência, que diz que o distanciamento entre a propriedade e o controle resulta em conflitos de agência e assimetria informacional, problemas que oferecem maiores oportunidades de expropriação dos acionistas por parte dos gestores. Assim, visto que nas empresas familiares esse distanciamento é menor, pois a propriedade e a gestão tendem a coincidir, os conflitos de agência e a assimetria informacional entre principal-agente ocorrem com menor intensidade nas empresas familiares em comparação às empresas não familiares.Contribuições: As evidências empíricas permitem reflexões, tanto aos acionistas quanto aos executivos, sobre o uso da estratégia de aquisição corporativa, além de instigar novos mecanismos de controle e monitoramento por parte dos acionistas sobre a tomada de decisão dos gestores.

A BAIXA LEGITIMAÇÃO DA QUALIFICAÇÃO ECONÔMICO-FINANCEIRA (QEF) PERCEBIDA PELOS STAKEHOLDERS NAS LICITAÇÕES PÚBLICAS
Authors: Ribeiro Rafael Borges , Miranda Gilberto José , De Azevedo Ricardo Rocha
Published: January 2021

Objetivo: O trabalho teve como objetivo investigar se na etapa de Qualificação Econômico-Financeira (QEF) nas licitações públicas os stakeholders percebem a informação contábil com legitimidade para avaliar a capacidade financeira das empresas.Método: Por meio da literatura de legitimidade normativa (normativity), adotando-se uma abordagem construtivista, a pesquisa apresenta uma análise qualitativa da percepção dos stakeholders sobre a legitimidade da informação contábil no processo de licitações públicas. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de grupos focais e entrevistas semiestruturadas com stakeholders de segmentos que atuam em diferentes etapas do processo: administração pública; empresas privadas; órgãos de controle e julgamento; e juristas do direito administrativo.Resultados ou Discussão: Os resultados evidenciaram que uma baixa legitimidade da informação contábil na etapa de QEF está relacionada com fatores da própria legislação, seguida da baixa validação pelos stakeholders, reforçada pela falta de aplicação da estrutura conceitual da contabilidade. Isso faz com que a informação contábil não seja utilizada para avaliar a real capacidade econômico-financeira das empresas, tornando essa apenas uma etapa de compliance no processo.Contribuições: A pesquisa aponta para o fato de que a baixa legitimidade percebida das informações contábeis é fator crucial para sua utilização cerimonial. O estudo contribui de duas formas. Primeiro, traz elementos teóricos que podem contribuir com explicações para o baixo uso das informações contábeis em processos específicos. Segundo, contribui com o processo de licitações públicas, pois a etapa de QEF tem permitido a validação de empresas sem condições econômicas suficientes.

Objetivo: Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de examinar o efeito da participação orçamentária no desempenho gerencial mediado pela satisfação no trabalho e pela justiça procedimental. Método: Para realizar o estudo foi aplicado um questionário em hotéis do litoral brasileiro, com uma amostra final de 90 gestores. Para a análise dos dados utilizou-se a técnica de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, estimada a partir dos Mínimos Quadrados Parciais (Partial Least Squares – PLS). Resultados: Os resultados confirmaram a relação positiva e significativa entre a participação orçamentária e desempenho gerencial. A justiça procedimental mediou parcialmente a relação entre participação orçamentária e desempenho gerencial. Em relação ao efeito da participação orçamentária na satisfação no trabalho, percebeu-se mediação total da justiça procedimental. Entretanto, a relação entre a participação orçamentária e desempenho gerencial não foi mediada pela satisfação no trabalho. Do mesmo modo, a relação entre a justiça procedimental e o desempenho gerencial não foi mediada pela satisfação no trabalho. Contribuições: Esses achados sugerem que as práticas gerenciais, como o orçamento tornam salientes a percepção de justiça procedimental, de modo que influenciam na satisfação no trabalho e no desempenho gerencial. Assim, se tornam relevantes para a continuidade das organizações, em especial aquelas inerentes ao setor de hospitalidade.

Authors: Froß M. , Sailer M. , Lamprecht J.
Published: January 2021

Zusammenfassung Kognitive Störungen treten häufig nach einem Schlaganfall auf, persistieren meistens länger als motorische Funktionsstörungen und können den Verlauf der Therapie beeinflussen, da die kognitive »Performance« und das motorische Lernen in Beziehung zueinander stehen. Die Studie adressiert daher folgende Fragen: a) Welche kognitiven Störungen weisen Schlaganfallpatienten zu Beginn der Rehabilitation auf? b) Wie verändert sich die Mobilität im Rehabilitationsverlauf? c) Welche kognitiven Störungen beeinflussen die Verbesserung der Mobilität im Rehabilitations-verlauf negativ? Im Ergebnis zeigte sich, dass ein Drittel der Schlaganfallpatienten zu Rehabili-tationsbeginn unter kognitiven Störungen, vor allem im Bereich der Exekutivfunktionen, leidet. Dabei haben insbesondere Einschränkungen im konvergenten Denken einen negativen Einfluss auf eine Mobilitätsverbesserung im Verlauf der neurologischen Rehabilitation. Schlüsselwörter: Schlaganfall, Neurorehabilitation, Kognition, Exekutivfunktionen, Mobilität The impact of cognitive dysfunctions post stroke on the mobility during the neurorehabilitation process Abstract Cognitive impairment post stroke is common and usually persists longer than motor impairment and may influence the rehabilitation process, because cognition and motor learning are related. Therefore, this study addresses the following questions: a) Which cognitive disorders appear in stroke patients at the beginning of rehabilitation (admission)? b) How does mobility change during the rehabilitation process? Which cognitive disorders negatively influence the improvement of mobility during the rehabilitation process? The results reveal that one-third of stroke patients suffer from cognitive disorders at admission, especially in the domain of executive functions. Particularly impairments in convergent thinking negatively influence the improvement in mobility during the neurological rehabilitation process.

Published: January 2021

The assessment of genetic divergence plays a significant role to identify promising genotypes to initiate crossing programme for crop improvement. The sesame being a nutritious oil seed crop containing various biochemical constituents used as a good dietary choice. The biochemical analysis was done taking freshly harvested seeds of eight (8) parental genotypes and twenty one (21) advance lines. The studies revealed that all the genotypes differed significantly among themselves for all the biochemical parameters including moisture content, oil content, its iodine number and saponification value, both crude and soluble protein, some mineral matters – Ca, P, Mn, Zn, Cu & Fe and Carbohydrate and ascorbic acid content. Mahalanobis generalized genetic distance using D² statistics for the assessment of genetic divergence amongst 29 genotypes based on biochemical parameters. All the genotypes were grouped into eleven distinct clusters. Maximum intra cluster divergence was noted against cluster IX with advance lines having black coloured seeds as its constituents. With regard to inter-cluster distance values the cluster X was mostly divergent from all other clusters and cluster II as the less divergent one from the rest. Cluster X with parental genotype B-14 was identified as superior cluster for the biochemical parameters on the basis of securing higher position for maximum number of characters. Constitution pattern clustering was independent of eco-geographical isolation. Promising segregants with higher oil yielding potentially may yield from inter se mating of advance line 14 and HT-1 with T-12, R-9 or advance lines 10, 14, 20.

Watkins, CM, Gill, ND, Maunder, E, Downes, P, Young, JD, McGuigan, MR, and Storey, AG. The effect of low-volume preseason plyometric training on force-velocity profiles in semiprofessional rugby union players. J Strength Cond Res 35(3): 604–615, 2021—Rugby union is a physically demanding and complex team sport requiring athletes across all positions to express speed and acceleration. Plyometrics can effectively improve speed profiles by enhancing both force- and velocity-(FV) characteristics; however, the optimal dose and exercise direction for trained athletes is still relatively unknown. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to determine the efficacy of a low-dose, directionally specific plyometric training program for improving speed profiles in semiprofessional rugby players. Players were randomly allocated to one of 2 plyometric training groups that performed low-volume (40–60 ground contacts per session) plyometrics twice weekly, or a control group that did not participate in any plyometric training. The 2 training groups underwent reverse back-to-back three-week vertically and horizontally focused plyometric training programs, with a 12-day washout. Body composition, aerobic capacity, and sprint performance (10-, 20-, 30-m split time, horizontal FV profile) were measured. During the intervention, HV-1 (horizontal/vertical training group 1) improved sprint performance (n = 12; ∆30 m = −0.020 seconds; p = 0.038), VH-2 (vertical/horizontal training group 2) maintained sprint performance (n = 8; ∆30 m = +0.049 seconds; p = 0.377), and the control group progressively declined in sprint performance (n = 12; ∆30 m = +0.071; p = 0.019). In addition, vertical plyometrics may preferentially benefit secondary acceleration (∆10–20 m split time: −0.01 seconds; p = 0.03) and many force-oriented FV profile characteristics. Correlational analyses (r
2 = −0.568 to 0.515) showed sprint improvements were hindered in athletes with lower initial aerobic fitness, suggesting accumulated fatigue may have limited the magnitude of adaptation. Therefore, including low-volume plyometric training may be beneficial for improving sprint profiles or attenuating decrements realized during periods of high-volume sport-specific training.

Cutrufello, PT, Landram, MJ, Venezia, AC, and Dixon, CB. A comparison of methods used to determine percent body fat, minimum wrestling weight, and lowest allowable weight class. J Strength Cond Res 35(3): 633–637, 2021—The National Collegiate Athletic Association's weight management program allows for the use of skinfold measurements (SF), air displacement plethysmography (ADP), and hydrostatic weighing in the assessment of percent body fat (%BF) and determination of a wrestler's minimum wrestling weight (MWW). Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and ultrasound (US) may offer alternative assessment methods. The purpose of this study was to examine %BF, MWW, and the lowest allowable weight class as determined by SF, ADP, DXA, and US. Thirty-three college-aged men (20.8 ± 1.1 years) participated. Urine specific gravity (Usg) was assessed to ensure proper hydration (1.006 ± 0.006). Percent body fat and MWW were then determined using the 4 assessment methods. Each method was significantly different from one another (p < 0.05) with the exception of ADP compared with SF (17.6 ± 7.1% vs. 17.4 ± 6.3%, p = 1.000) and DXA compared with US (20.5 ± 6.2% vs. 19.2 ± 7.5%, p = 0.124). DXA (68.6 ± 7.1 kg) and US (69.3 ± 6.0 kg) determined the lowest MWW, whereas those determined by SF (70.8 ± 6.8 kg) and ADP (70.9 ± 6.6 kg) were significantly greater (p< 0.05). The SEEs for MWW when compared with SF were 3.2, 3.4, and 2.4 kg for ADP, DXA, and US, respectively. Compared with SF, DXA and US would allow wrestlers to certify at a lower weight class 64 and 33% of the time, respectively. When comparing the approved methods (SF and ADP), approximately 50% of subjects would certify at a different weight class depending on the method used. The use of different methods in assessing %BF offer a wide variability in the determination of MWW.

Aanmaning as a warning aims to give the respondent an opportunity to immediately fulfill the condemnatoir decision or fulfillment of the grosse deed that has been auctioned. In Depok District Court, the request for aanmaning was granted based on the sale and purchase certificate. The applicant is the buyer, but the land and building objects of sale and purchase are physically controlled by another party. The aanmaning petition was granted by the PN with a Decree No. 01 / Pen.Pdt / Aanm.Eks.HT / 2015 / PN. Dpk. For this reason, it is necessary to deepen whether the buyer is authorized to apply for aanmaning so that he can control the land and buildings he has purchased. In order to do this, a normative juridical study was conducted on the provisions of aanmaning and the terms of execution. The result of the research concludes that the buyer is not authorized to apply for aanmaning to protect his rights by execution. Because the execution is only based on the existence of a condemnatoir court decision or with a grosse deed that underlies the legal relationship of the parties. The court has mistakenly granted the aanmaning petition by stipulating No. 01 / Pen.Pdt / Aanm.Eks.HT / 2015 / PN.Dpk.Keywords: Aanmaning, Execution Authority, Grosse Deed, Sale And Purchase Deed. AbstrakAanmaning sebagai teguran bertujuan memberi kesempatan pada termohon agar segera memenuhi amar putusan condemnatoir atau pemenuhan grosse akta yang telah dilelang. Di PN Depok, permohonan aanmaning dikabulkan berdasar pada akta jual beli. Pemohon selaku pihak pembeli, namun tanah dan bangunan objek jual beli secara fisik dikuasai pihak lain. Permohonan aanmaning dikabulkan oleh PN dengan Penetapan No. 01/Pen.Pdt/Aanm.Eks.HT/2015/PN. Dpk. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan pendalaman apakah pembeli, berwenang mengajukan aanmaning agar dapat menguasai tanah dan bangunan yang telah dibelinya. Untuk mendalaminya, dilakukan penelitian yuridis normatif atas ketentuan aanmaning dan ketentuan eksekusi. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa pembeli tidak berwenang mengajukan aanmaning untuk melindungi haknya dengan eksekusi. Karena eksekusi hanya didasarkan pada keberadaan putusan pengadilan yang bersifat condemnatoir atau dengan suatu grosse akta yang mendasari hubungan hukum para pihak. Pengadilan telah keliru mengabulkan permohonan aanmaning dengan penetapan No. 01/Pen.Pdt/Aanm.Eks.HT/2015/PN.Dpk.Kata kunci: aanmaning, kewenangan eksekusi, grosse akta, akta jual beli.
