Dengan akutansi pertanggungjawaban, perusahaan dapat memangkas pengeluaran yang sia-sia dan memastikan sumber daya organisasi digunakan secara efektif untuk mencapai tujuan perusahaan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah penerapan akuntansi pertanggungjawaban yang digunakan sebagai alat pengendalian biaya di perusahaan sudah efektif dan efisien pada Perusahaan UD. Trubus Baru. Metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kepustakaan (library research) dengan data primer diperoleh langsung dari UD. Trubus Baru. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peranan akutansi pertanggungjawaban dalam perusahaan UD. Trubus Baru kurang efektif dan efisien. Hal tersebut karena dalam struktur organisasi perusahaan, wewenang dan tanggungjawab perusahaan belum diterapkan di seluruh tingkatan organisasi seperti dari tingkat atas sampai dengan tingkat bawah. Selain itu juga, dalam sistem anggaran UD. Trubus Baru dikatakan tidak efisien karena tidak melibatkan semua departemen perusahaan dalam menentukan perencanaan anggaran perusahaan. Dan untuk pengklasifikasian biaya pun perusahaan belum memisahkan antara biaya-biaya yang dapat dikendalikan dan yang tidak dapat dikendalikan.

Katak Dan Pelacur Politik: Tragedi Ngeri Semasa Covid-19
Authors:   Universiti Sains Malaysia, Syed Sopi Saiyid Radzuwan
Published: August 2024

Tahun 2020 merupakan tahun yang mencabar bagi Malaysia apabila berlakunya rampasan kuasa politik daripada Pakatan Harapan (PH) kepada Perikatan Nasional (PN) dan penularan wabak Covid-19. Selanjutnya, Covid-19 merupakan wabak penyakit yang boleh membawa kematian manakala rampasan kuasa politik mampu melahirkankatak dan pelacur politik melalui rasuah politik. PN menyedari bahawa kerajaan yang mereka bina bukannya melalui kemenangan dalam pilihan raya dan oleh itu, mereka harus menyalurkan rasuah politik kepada rakan gabungannya untuk mengekalkan kestabilan kerajaan. Pembiakan katak politik dilihat semakin membimbangkan apabila Putrajaya berubah tangan daripada PH kepada PN dan senario ini menjelaskan bahawa ramai ahli politik PN menjadikan kuasa politik sebagai pemburuan utama. Mereka tidak begitu mempedulikan kes harian Covid-19 yang semakin hari semakin meningkat walaupun Agong memberikan nasihat kepada semua ahli parlimen agar jangan terlalu berpolitik semasa Covid-19. Keengganan PN menurut perintah Agong terbukti apabila Melaka harus mengadakan Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) dan senario ini menjelaskan bahawa PN lebih mementingkan kuasa politik berbanding nyawa rakyat. Justeru, katak dan pelacur politik merupakan ancaman kepada kestabilan politik dan pembiakan mereka dilakukan secara sistematik melalui rasuah politik.

Nusantara Islam has been transformed into a concept of renewal in Islam. Islamic concept: moderate, peaceful, tolerant framed by democracy and human rights, become a necessity in the life of the nation, state, and world. The characteristics of Indonesian Islam face many challenges amid increasingly complex problems in the world. This study seeks to explain the extent of the power and position of Indonesian Muslims to resolve global issues through Islam Nusantara. Moreover, Islam Nusantara and various historical dynamics and contemporary contexts are increasingly getting attention and becoming the focus of study from the international community. Thus, the Indonesian nation hopes to emerge as an Islamic leader of international repute to achieve the icon of the face of Islamic civilization so that Muslims can imitate it generally. In addition, this opportunity is considerable momentum because the Arabs are currently facing severe challenges with increasingly massive extremism and terrorism. The conclusion is that Islam Nusantara has strong bargaining power in overcoming various problems the Muslim community faces globally.
Humanitarian Response to Electoral Violence in Nigeria – Focus On 2011 General Electio
Authors:   University of Ibadan, Segun Moses AYODELE
Published: August 2024

The 2011 election is infamously hailed as the most brutal and violent election in Nigeria’s history. Scores were killed; more were displaced from their places of residence, and; most were deprived of the basic necessities of subsistence. The way and manner that the government handled or tackled the humanitarian issue of the 2011 electoral violence have not been adequately understood. Consequently, underpinned by the social inclusion and stakeholders’ theories, this paper sets out to ascertain the humanitarian role the government has played in addressing those affected by the electoral violence of 2011. The study thus interrogates the major stakeholder in the management of the largest internal displacement camp in Nigeria as a result of the 2011 elections. Hence, the study relies on a limited extent on primary sources of data and heavily on secondary sources of data for analysis. This study reveals that the measures being utilized by the Nigerian government in handling the humanitarian needs of the affected population, most especially internally displaced persons as a result of the aftermath of the 2011 election violence has been on an ad-hoc basis with no solid or structured modus operandi. As an illustration, some lessons learnt by the Kenyan government in addressing some of the humanitarian needs of the affected population were made reference to. In essence, this paper advocates that the government of Nigeria ensure strict, decisive and clear-cut policies on IDPs management in order to avoid ambiguity in boundaries and in the roles of agencies managing internally displaced persons.

This research examines Chinese settlements' preservation and management strategies as heritage tourism in Lasem, Rembang, Indonesia. Ancient houses in Chinatown settlements are vulnerable and require a social resilience strategy as a solution. This study used a qualitative approach and data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and focus group discussion (FGD). The informants were owners of ancient houses utilizing their buildings as heritage tourism destinations. The results of this study show that the community or owner in managing settlements or Chinese houses as tourist destinations should have three capacities in the social resilience perspective, namely 1) coping capacity, which includes resources, knowledge, skills, and learning; community as the main actor, community awareness, and social kinship system; 2) adaptive capacity which includes: community networks, human and environmental relations, and community participation; and 3) transformative capacity which includes community infrastructure, multi-stakeholder partnerships, technological innovation, diversity and economic innovation. This study concludes that the owners of ancient houses in Chinatown settlements who utilize their buildings as tourism destinations are quite resilient.

Authors: Risman Asep , Markonah Markonah , Mubarok Jaih , Saputra Budi Lestijawan Eka
Published: August 2024

Currently, there are many gold-based investment products, and investors are interested because some of them use sharia labels. Therefore, this study aims to identify and investigate gold-based investments from an Islamic perspective. It is hoped that this research can contribute new findings and enrich existing literature regarding gold investment in Indonesia, providing benefits for Muslim investors and the Muslim community in general. This study used qualitative research methods. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with parties who offer gold-based investment products on a large scale. Additional data sources include documents and manuscripts from the National Sharia Council (DSN-MUI) as well as author analysis. These findings show that not all gold-based investments in Indonesia comply with sharia principles. Only gold murabahah conducted by Islamic banking institutions meets sharia compliance.
The role of socioeconomic status in shaping associations between sensory association cortex and prefrontal structure and implications for executive function
Authors: Rosen Maya , Rakesh Divyangana , Romeo Rachel R
Published: August 2024

Socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with widespread differences in structure of temporal, parietal, occipital, and frontal cortices. Development of sensory processing regions—in particular visual association cortex (VAC) and auditory association cortex (AAC)—may scaffold development of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Experiences that correlate with SES like cognitive stimulation and language may influence VAC and AAC development, in turn allowing the PFC to resolve conflicts between similar stimuli. SES-related differences in these regions may partly explain differences in executive function (EF) skills. Here, we use structural equation modeling of longitudinal data from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development study to test the hypothesis that SES-related differences in AAC and VAC are associated with differences in structure of the PFC and development of the PFC over time, which in turn are associated with development of EF. We found partial support for this model, demonstrating that SES-related differences in PFC structure are mediated by differences in sensory cortex structure, and that SES-related differences in auditory cortex structure mediate the association between SES and EF. These findings highlight the role sensory processing regions play in SES-related differences in PFC development. Future studies should explore proximal environmental factors driving SES-related differences to inform interventions.
Evaluating Network Replicability Across Local, Mesoscale, and Global Structures
Authors: Christensen Alexander P. , Choi Jeongwon , Garrido Luis Eduardo
Published: August 2024

Debates on the replicability and generalizability of network models in psychology have led some researchers to conclude that they have limited utility and replicability. The majority of these debates have concentrated on whether individual edges and (rank-order) centrality measures replicate in a few empirical datasets. Some simulation studies have evaluated whether edges can be accurately recovered but few have examined the extent to which networks are replicable. This study aims to fill that gap by employing a Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the extent to which psychometric networks replicate and at what level of analysis (edges, centrality, community, network, prediction). Several network estimation methods were applied to evaluate regularized and non-regularized approaches. Across the simulated conditions, number of data categories (continuous, polytomous, dichotomous) and sample size (500, 1000, 2500, 5000) were the two most influential factors on replicability. Across the network estimation methods, EBICglasso was consistently at or near the best performing in terms of replicability. The simulation results were supported by 100 split half analyses on three empirical examples. Based on our results, we provide sample size recommendations for minimum replicability at each level of analysis. We conclude with comparisons to previous empirical findings and call for work to determine what "replicable" means in the context of psychometric networks.
Exploring Individual Differences in Volitional Personality State and Trait Change: The Role of Motivation and Engagement During a 12-week Intervention
Authors: Olaru Gabriel , Stieger Mirjam , Flückiger Christoph , Roberts Brent , Allemand Mathias
Published: August 2024

Recent studies suggest that personality traits can be changed through volitional change efforts such as personality interventions. However, there is limited empirical research on which factors explain individual differences in intervention gains. Based on suggestions from recent personality development theories and intervention frameworks, we 1) examined whether achieved personality state changes during an intervention explain differences in the degree of trait change and 2) whether individual differences in change could be explained by participants’ motivation and intervention engagement. The study was based on a 12-week personality intervention with a total of 1,523 participants. Personality states were assessed on a daily and weekly basis, whereas personality traits were measured with self- and observer-reports at the beginning and end of the intervention. Participants who deviated in their states most strongly from their initial trait level also changed more in their trait levels in the corresponding direction. Both state and trait changes were stronger if participants a) were more committed to their change goal, b) believed more strongly in the changeability of personality traits, c) completed more implementation intentions, and d) enjoyed their implementations more (i.e., reinforcement). In contrast, the strength of the desire to change, expected attainability, opportunities identified for practice, difficulty of the implementation intentions, and preference for self-reflection or behavioral practice did not systematically predict change. Taken together, these findings provide support for most of the central components of volitional change theories and can help guide future individualized intervention efforts.
Overcoming Automatic Behavioral Tendencies in Approach-Avoidance Conflict Decisions
Authors: Chen Menghuan , Reutter Mario , Pauli Paul , Gamer Matthias , Pittig Andre
Published: August 2024

Adequate control over automatic responses to affective stimuli is crucial for adaptive goal-oriented behavior. However, it remains unclear how individuals overcome automatic approach-avoidance tendencies to appetitive and aversive stimuli. Here we examined free versus forced approach-avoidance decisions to four conditioned stimuli (CSs), which were previously paired with either a single aversive (avCS+) or appetitive outcome (appCS+), both (i.e., conflicting) outcomes (confCS+), or no outcome (neuCS-). These CSs were presented in an anticipation phase before participants could use a joystick to either approach and obtain CS-specific outcomes or avoid without getting anything. Response times, subjective ratings, heart rate, and eye-tracking data were recorded in N=75 participants. Results revealed that for single outcomes, concordant responses (e.g., avoidance to the avCS+) were faster than forced discordant responses (e.g., approach to the avCS+). Participants showed more balanced approach-avoidance behaviors to conflicting stimuli for free responses and modestly reduced response times for forced responses. Gaze behavior during anticipation of single outcomes reflected the concordant behavioral option, while conflicting stimuli yielded a more balanced gaze distribution. Decreased heart rate in response to all CSs suggests a general preparation of behavioral responses, while increased pupil dilation specifically when anticipating aversive stimuli indicates threat-related processing. These findings suggest that competing outcomes moderately facilitate behavioral inhibition in approach-avoidance conflicts, and they might inspire clinical interventions focused on inhibiting disorder-specific behavioral tendencies.

Research on inter-group relations in the Southern part of Taraba State, Nigeria is relatively new because Nigerian scholars are more concerned with researching global topics or major ethnic groups while they neglect or give little attention to minority ethnic groups. This has made literature on the subject matter of intergroup relations scarce, hence the need for this study. The study adopts the historical method of research which involves the use of primary and secondary sources for data collection. Primary sources include oral interviews and materials from the National Archives Kaduna. Secondary sources used are published books, undergraduate project reports, and internet materials. The findings of this study reveal that the Kuteb and Ichen people of Southern Taraba have for a long time been engaged in inter-ethnic relations which has significantly impacted their development as a people. This study contributes to the broader argument on intergroup relations by providing empirical evidence from the Kuteb and Ichen people. It demonstrates how marriage, economic interactions, and social contacts collectively enhance social cohesion, cultural exchange, and economic interdependence, which are crucial for peaceful and productive intergroup relations. These findings support the view that interdependence and cooperation are inherent in human societies and essential for their development and stability.
Romantyczni wojażerowie. Mickiewicza i Słowackiego listy z/o podróży
Authors: Bąk Magdalena
Published: August 2024

The aim of the book is to analyse the theories of travel that Mickiewicz’s and Słowacki’s letters reveal. Undoubtedly, the 19th century can be described as the age of travel, which became a need, a fashion and even a must. Many different modes of travelling as well as many different types of travellers appeared at that time, some of them presented their experiences in written accounts. Mickiewicz and Słowacki described their voyages mostly in their letters, which – if analysed using the travel writing studies tools – can reveal these two poets’ understanding of the phenomenon of travel.

A las vísperas de su 50º aniversario, la Sociedad Brasileña de Nematologia enfrenta el desafío de la creciente importancia de los nematodos para la agricultura brasileña. Nuestros congresos ahora atraen alrededor de 1000 participantes, reflejando el crecimiento del sector. Sin embargo, la carencia de formación adecuada en universidades es un problema, ya que muchas no ofertan disciplinas específicas en Nematologia, siendo la inversión en educación desde la formación inicial muy necesaria. Pensando en esta corta formación , los autores del libro “Buscando Nemas”, mi amigo Claudio Marcelo, que desempeñó un papel fundamental en mi formación en la Nematologia, y a su hija Ana Cecília, que la vi nacer, lograran traducir el mundo de la Nematologia Agrícola de manera sutil y accesible para el público infantil. Las ilustraciones detalladas y hábilmente creadas por Ana Cecília ofrecen una visión técnica que, al mismo tiempo, es suave y divertida, cautivando no solo el público infantil, pero también a todos los que trabajan con nematodos. Para aquellos que conocen padre e hija tenemos el privilegio de seguir la narrativa o participación de un gran investigador que tiene un impacto significativo en nuestras vidas, convirtiéndose en un gran amigo que, lamentablemente, nos dejó prematuramente. Confieso que me encante por el libro desde el momento en que me lo presentaron. Es una honra, durante mí gestión en la SBN, participar y apoyar esa iniciativa que, tengo certeza, conquistará todos ustedes, lectores. ¡Deseo a todos una óptima lectura y espero que los nematodos acá representados los inspiren a continuar explorando ese universo fascinante!
Developmental and Psychological Profile of Men Who Have Committed Sadistic Sexual Aggression against Women
Authors: Gauthier Alexandre , Proulx Jean
Published: August 2024

The aims of the current study were twofold: (1) to identify factors that distinguish men who commit sadistic sexual aggression from those who do not; and (2) to investigate the developmental trajectories leading to sexual sadism. The study sample was composed of 206 men who had committed sexual aggression against women (69 men who had committed sadistic sexual aggression; 137 men who had committed nonsadistic sexual aggression), all of whom were incarcerated in Quebec (Canada). The Severe Sexual Sadism Scale (SESAS), an empirically validated instrument, was used to characterize the participants. Bivariate (χ2) analyses were performed. Our results revealed that men who had committed sadistic sexual aggression against women differed from others in several respects, notably developmental (e.g., emotional and physical abuse), psychological (e.g., avoidant and narcissistic personality profiles), sexological (e.g., deviant sexual fantasies), and criminological (e.g., a structured modus operandi, use of a weapon, anal penetration). Structural equation modeling analysis identified a developmental trajectory leading to the commission of sadistic sexual aggression. Theoretical and clinical implications of our results are discussed.
What Is Informal Social Control? A Concept Consensus Review of Recent Criminological Literature
Authors: Linning Shannon J. , Eck John E. , Olaghere Ajima , Steinman Hannah
Published: August 2024

Is there consensus among criminologists about the meaning of informal social control? Some prominent criminologists say no. We conduct a concept consensus review of all articles using the term in the top 10 journals in criminology from 2010 to 2020 to test their dissensus assertion. We found 597 articles that mention informal social control. Of the 228 articles where the term was important to the study, only 41 attempt to define the concept. We assessed each conceptual definition using four definitional elements: subject, action, object, and reason. One or more elements were missing from most conceptual definitions. Combining the mode of the most specified elements, informal social control may mean “residents intervening with youth/children to reduce crime.” But dissensus is more common than consensus; authors differ on who applied controls, what those controls were, who was controlled, or the reasons for the control. This raises questions about how to proceed with the study of informal social control.
Social Identity Leadership in Canada: The Impact of Group Identity and Individual Prototypicality on Leadership Attainment
Authors: Routley Sam
Published: August 2024

Leaders are an important part of Canadian political life. However, research has focused on the structures that shape how leaders act, not yet developing generalizable understandings of the way leadership itself is formed, exercised, and impacts outcomes. This article contributes to the closing of this knowledge gap by focusing on how scholars can understand why certain individuals, rather than others, are successfully elected leaders. It examines the usefulness of identity leadership theory (ILT) in explaining Canadian leadership outcomes by performing a comparative study of the initial electoral appeals of two successful premiers of Alberta, William Aberhart and Peter Lougheed. The approach should find that both leaders appealed to Alberta’s social identity by conveying themselves as “prototypical group members” and by incorporating their agenda into the pre-existing collective understandings. As an initial investigation, it explores the extent to which these conditions may constitute a decisive condition for successful leadership attainment. Through an analysis of discursive material, however, the results do not support the processes theorized, casting doubt on ILT’s explanatory capacity. Still, variations in Aberhart’s and Lougheed’s identitarian appeals suggest that aspiring leaders may be incentivized to pursue ILT-related strategies in favourable contexts. Future research needs to investigate the impact that individual prototypicality may have when considered alongside other leaders, appeals, and contextual factors.
Shackled by Her Condition: A Comparison of American and Canadian Spousal Sponsorships and Conditional Permanent Residency
Authors: Kurajian Olivia A.
Published: August 2024

This paper analyzes the similarities and differences between Canadian conditional permanent resident status, which was recently repealed in 2017, and the current American approach to conditional lawful permanent residency. The paper engages in an analysis of how Canadian and American “permanent residency” status has often been shockingly temporary. The author argues that conditional permanent residency shackles immigrant women into abusive relationships while failing to adequately dissuade marriages of convenience or “sham” marriages.
Sky Woman, Trickster, Windigo: Reflections of Traditional Storytelling in Contemporary Canadian Indigenous Novel
Authors: Marešová Jana
Published: August 2024

This work examines the way contemporary Indigenous writers of Canada work with the tradition of oral storytelling in their writing. It studies the role and importance of storytelling for Indigenous cultures and consequently for literature and then analyzes several novels by contemporary Indigenous writers. The analysis is centred around three characters significant and recurrent in Indigenous storytelling – Sky Woman, the trickster, and the windigo — and it observes the meanings created by their employment in the narrative, it studies the way oral storytelling shapes the narrative style, and the way Indigenous referential frameworks are manifested in this process. The work argues that the three examined characters do not only teach the principles of relationality — they embody them, and that oral storytelling and its reflections in written texts should not be taken as a special feature of Indigenous literature, but rather as a core element of it, which influences not only the themes, but also the structure of the text and the entire referential framework the text manifests.
“Especially in This Free Country”: Webs of Empire, Slavery, and the Fur Trade
Authors: Lindsay Margaret Anne
Published: August 2024

Spanning the years from late 1600s and into the early 1800s “‘Especially in This Free Country:’ Webs of Empire, Slavery and the Fur Trade” challenges a historiography that positions what has come to be known as the Canadian fur trade as exceptional in its relationships between colonizers and Indigenous peoples, where interactions between Indigenous producers and non-Indigenous traders are presented as largely cooperative and peaceful and as rooted in relationships that operated in the absence of coerced or unfree labour. In fact, the fur trade, connected as it was through webs of family/business relationships to the rest of the colonial world was not exceptional. Across northern North America the fur trade world experienced the same sorts of violence, including chattel slavery, as the rest of the empires with which these webs connected. Far from absent, colonial violence was a part of the Canadian fur trade just as it was a part of empire. Located in the pre-history of Canada, this thesis responds to Harvey Amani Whitfield’s observation that, although there have been some excellent studies of slavery in Canada recently, “slavery has not become part of the Canadian national narrative” 1 by arguing that chattel slavery in the fur trade in what would become Canada was linked to the empires it was a part of, pervasive, integrated into all aspects of the fur trade, and occurred across the northern North American continent.
INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF LAW: DIFFERENCE IN CONCEPTS AND IMPLEMENTATION RULES IN MODERN INDIA

Published: August 2024

The purpose of this article is to analyze the concepts of interpretation and construction of legal norms in modern India, as well as the rules for their implementation. To achieve this goal, the author sets himself the objectives of defining and correlating the concepts of interpretation and interpretation of law, as well as characterizing the general rules for their implementation.To solve these objectives, the author uses comparative legal and logical methods, as well as systemic and structural analysis.As a result of the research, it is shown that in Indian legal science and law enforcement, the difference between the concepts of «interpretation» and «construction» does exist, and this is connected differentiation mainly with the broad powers of the judiciary to issue judicial precedents.Conclusion. The concepts of «interpretation» and «construction» of law in India should not be identified with the concepts of clarification and clarification. Interpretation involves theoretical activity aimed at determining the meaning of a rule of law, and interpretation is associated with the process of implementing the law through its adaptation to existing social relations.
