Institution-Building – Lessons from History
Authors: ul Haque Nadeem
Published: July 2019

In the post war world, numerous attempts at all levels – multinational, bilateral and domestic – have been made to foster growth and development in the low income world so that these countries can catch up with their richer brethren from the industrial countries. Why has growth not been faster? What can be done to make these countries achieve more balanced and sustainable growth? These are important questions of the day that are preoccupying all serious positive social science and development policymaking. To a large extent, many of the answers that are being derived relate to the failure of these countries to develop key institutions. Most practitioners and thinkers are now in agreement on this issue but remain perplexed at what is required to develop these institutions. The public sector’s attempts at developing the institutions within its fold have not succeeded. The fostering of non-governmental institutions also remains fairly uneven in its results. Donor funding for institutional support too has had very limited results despite the extensive history of sectoral and institutional reform that has been supported by substantial financial and technical assistance and resources.
Pengujian Kandungan Informasi Arus Kas Dan Laba Akuntansi Terhadap Return Saham: Studi Pada Perusahaan LQ45
Authors: Hadi Samsul , Djaddang Syahril , Suyanto
Published: June 2019

This study aimed to analyze the effect of changes in cash flow from operating activities, cash flows from investing avtivities, cash flow from financing activities and accounting earnings on stock returns in the Indonesian capital market. Research conducted on 15 companies listed in the LQ45 index in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). Observations were made for 4 years from 2011 to 2014. Data were analyzed using data panel analysis. The results show that operating cash flow and financing cash flow significantly influence stock returns. This means any increase in operating cash flow and in expenditures for financing activities followed by an increase in stock returns. Accounting earnings and cash flows have no significant effect on stock returns, since the accounting information and investment cash flows of the sample companies do not contain relevant information and market anomalies occur due to investor failure to understand accrual information, cash flow, market risk and conservatism.

TSince long ago this agricultural country, Indonesia has never been separated from rice farming. However, the welfare of farmers has not been fully good. The harvest season that should bring joy and profit, not always absolute about the full benefits. Harvest season are often accompanied by problems such as drop of selling price due to abundant supply. The purpose of this study is to diclose that farmer groups can optimize the supply chain flow to overcome the drop of selling price. This research was conducted in descriptive research, by conducting direct observations on Tirta Jaya farmer groups in Demak, then mapping the existing supply chain flow, and finally finding optimization solutions in the flow. The results of this study indicate there is an unoptimal distribution channel for agricultural products, and the warehouse receipt system is the right alternative, and can be applied as one of the new distribution channels to overcome the drop of selling price during the harvest.

Published: June 2019

Financial performance can provide an overview of past performance and future prospects of a company. Many companies carry out business activities related to nature but do not disclose sustainability reports. Companies that have a large company size should disclose more information than small companies, including disclosures about the implementation of Corporate Governance and sustainability reports disclosure. With these disclosures of information, it is expected to increase public trust in the company and improve the company's financial performance. This research aims to obtain evidence that company size and Corporate Governance influence financial performance, and the role of Sustainability Report disclosure as mediating the relationship between these variables in nine state-owned enterprises and the mining sector for five years (2013-2017). The results of this study indicate that (1) company size has effects on financial performance; (2) audit committee has effects on financial performance; (3) the board of directors does not affect financial performance; (4) company size has not affect the disclosure of sustainability report; (5) the audit committee has not affect the disclosure of sustainability report; (6) the board of directors has effect the disclosure of sustainability report; and (7) Sustainability Report disclosure can’t mediate the influence between company size/Corporate Governance on financial performance.

Analizar La última ciudad de Pablo Ortiz Monasterio y Ricas y famosas de Daniela
Rossell, a simple vista podría ser la antítesis de una ciudad frente a otra, pero lo cierto es
que ambas sostienen muchas similitudes y contrastes; esta temática de fotografía social
puede ser estudiada desde varias aristas: la semiótica, la teoría fotográfica, el estudio de la imagen y la hibridación del arte con lo social. A través de la hipercodificación de la imagen que trata Umberto Eco, la fotografía logra comunicar, provocar, incitar, construir historias en un discurso codificado.

Jervaise utiliza la técnica fotográfica panorámica que le permite capturar secuencias de
imágenes con un punto de visión alargado del centro de la ciudad de México. Fotografiar
como artista visual es una experiencia adicional a la toma en sí, implica un proceso de
elección e interés por ciertas expresiones. Este acercamiento se fundamenta en la revisión

El conflicto en el cruce de fronteras: Kati Horna y la guerra civil española.
Authors: Pelizzon Lisa
Published: June 2019

El estallido de la guerra civil española catalizó la atención del mundo entero y produjo una notable obra escrita y visual en la que el trabajo artístico y periodístico de Kati Horna ofrece rasgos nítidamente diferenciales. Horna pone de manifiesto una visión del conflicto que se aleja de los cánones de la fotografía documental de la época. En sus fotografías y fotomontajes la guerra no coincide con lo sangriento o el elemento sensacionalista, sino con mostrar la cara oculta del conflicto: el cruce de fronteras. Las fronteras no son solo las que ella cruza en su vida real, sino las que de forma metafórica aparecen en sus fotos cuando quiere mostrar la huida de los civiles de los pueblos bombardeados.

Published: June 2019

The current study was conducted to analyze the aflatoxins (AF i.e. AFB1, AFB2, AFG1
AFG2) and ochratoxin A (OTA) in imported pet food. A total of five hundred and ten
commercially available imported pet food samples of cat (solid = 240, semi-solid = 90) and dog
(solid = 150, semi-solid = 30) were collected from retailers and analyzed by chromatographic
technique i.e. HPTLC. Results revealed 45.83% (mean, 3.90 ppb) and 18% (mean, 4.83 ppb) of
AFB1 incidence in solid pet foods of cats and dogs, respectively. However, lower levels i.e.
8.88% (mean, 4.60ppb) and 6.66% (mean, 2.80ppb) of AFB1 were observed for semi-solid food
samples of cat and dog, respectively. Aflatoxin B2 was found in solid cat food only with an
incidence of 12.5% (mean, 0.89 ppb). About 35.33% (mean, 4.5 ppb) and 26.66% (mean, 2 ppb)
of OTA were observed in solid and semi-solid dog foods respectively. Similarly, the trend of
OTA in cat foods was 15% (mean, 3.87 ppb) and 13.13% (mean, 1.0 ppb) for solid and semisolid foods. Furthermore, co-contamination of AF and OTA were observed in 33.33% and
41.60% samples of dog and cat foods, respectively. It was concluded that natural incidence of
mean contaminations was below than European Commission (EC) legislation i.e. 20 ppb and 10
ppb for AF and OTA, respectively. However, co-occurrence of mycotoxins in pet food may exert
synergistic deleterious effects even at levels far below the regulatory limits.

Inflammation and Cell Death During Cholestasis: The Evolving Role of Bile Acids
Authors: Woolbright Benjamin L. , Jaeschke Hartmut
Published: June 2019

Cholestasis results in blockage of bile flow whether the point of obstruction occurs extrahepatically or intrahepatically. Bile acids are a primary constituent of bile, and thus one of the primary outcomes is acute retention of bile acids in hepatocytes. Bile acids are normally secreted
into the biliary tracts and then released into the small bowel before recirculating back to the liver. Retention of bile acids has long been hypothesized to be a primary cause of the associated liver injury that occurs during acute or chronic cholestasis. Despite this, a surge of papers in
the last decade have reported a primary role for inflammation in the pathophysiology of cholestatic liver injury. Furthermore, it has increasingly been recognized that both the constituency of individual bile acids that make up the greater pool, as well as their conjugation status, is intimately
involved in their toxicity, and this varies between species. Finally, the role of bile acids in drug-induced cholestatic liver injury remains an area of increasing interest. The purpose of this review is to critically evaluate current proposed mechanisms of cholestatic liver injury, with a
focus on the evolving role of bile acids in cell death and inflammation.
The Hippo Pathway and YAP Signaling: Emerging Concepts in Regulation, Signaling, and Experimental Targeting Strategies With Implications for Hepatobiliary Malignancies
Authors: Werneburg Nathan , Gores Gregory J. , Smoot Rory L.
Published: June 2019

The Hippo pathway and its effector protein YAP (a transcriptional coactivator) have been identified as important in the biology of both hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. First identified as a tumor suppressor pathway inDrosophila, the understanding of the mammalian YAP signaling and its regulation continues to expand. In its “on” function, the canonical regulatory Hippo pathway, a well-described serine/threonine kinase module, regulates YAP function by restricting its subcellular localization to the cytoplasm. In contrast, when the Hippo pathway is “off,” YAP translocates to the nucleus and drives cotranscriptional activity. Given the role of Hippo/YAP signaling in hepatic malignancies, investigators have sought to target these molecules; however, standard approaches have not been successful based on the pathways’ negative regulatory role. More recently, additional regulatory mechanisms, such as tyrosine phosphorylation, of YAP have been described. These represent positive regulatory events that may be targetable. Additionally, several groups have identified potentiating feed-forward signaling for YAP in multiple contexts, suggesting other experimental therapeutic approaches to interrupt these signaling loops. Herein we explore the current data supporting alternative YAP regulatory pathways, review the described feed-forward signaling cascades that are YAP dependent, and explore targeting strategies that have been employed in preclinical models of hepatic malignancies.
La Grande Guerre. La non-violence dans le protestantisme français et ses traductions littéraires
Authors: Cabanel Patrick
Published: June 2019

Des protestants français ont joué un rôle dans l’émergence du pacifisme radical et de la non-violence au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale. Les valeurs et les gestes de Bertin Aguillon et Jules-Philippe Guiton, deux jeunes pasteurs méthodistes morts en 1914 et 1917, sont bien documentés, le second ayant tenu un journal récemment publié. Il en va différemment du Cévenol Roux et des frères Berthalon du Dauphiné qui, durant des années, se sont retranchés dans la montagne. Leur destin a été abordé dans deux romans qui ont fait date : Roux le Bandit (1925) d’André Chamson et L’homme de la grotte (1949) de Benjamin Vallotton. Ces auteurs protestants ont-ils imputé une signification biblique à des comportements qui relevaient peut-être d’un autre univers ? Les frères Berthalon étaient-ils darbystes ? Patrick Cabanel propose de rouvrir le dossier de ce pacifisme radical protestant, entre histoire et littérature.
L’arche de Yhwh : de la guerre à l’alliance
Authors: Römer Thomas
Published: June 2019

Dans cette étude, Thomas Römer analyse les rôles et fonctions de l’arche de Yhwh qui apparaît dans différents contextes narratifs. Originellement, l’arche était une sorte de palladium , manifestant la présence divine lors des guerres antiques. Cependant, le Sitz im Leben primitif ne se trouve pas dans les récits de la conquête narrés dans le livre de Josué ; celui-ci se retrouve dans la tradition conservée en Nb 10 et, surtout, dans le récit ancien de l’arche en 1 S 4,1-7,1. L’arche n’a été intégrée que plus tard dans les traditions deutéronomistes et sacerdotales. Le sanctuaire mobile du départ y a été transformé en un coffre conservant les tables de la loi (Dt 10 et 1 R 8), porté par des prêtres lors de la traversée du Jourdain (Jos 3-4), ou en objet d’expiation (Ex 25-40 * ).
Al-Ġazālī et le ǧihād . Contrepoint à la thèse d’Alfred Morabia
Authors: Pisani Emmanuel
Published: June 2019

Concept clé de l’islam politique contemporain, le ǧihād revêt des aspects à la fois bellicistes et spirituels qui ont donné lieu à une étude savante d’Alfred Morabia qui a longtemps fait autorité en la matière. Morabia concluait son parcours sur les théories du ǧihād des quatre premiers siècles par la superposition des compréhensions et la prédominance de la dimension offensive. Si son étude inclut la pensée d’al-Ġazālī (m. 505/1111), Morabia ne l’aborde cependant que de manière indirecte à partir de l’ouvrage que Laoust lui a consacré. Emmanuel Pisani propose de vérifier si les constantes dégagées par Morabia se retrouvent chez le grand revivificateur de l’islam. Il montre par ailleurs comment al - Ġazālī , sans abandonner la dimension guerrière du ǧihād , fonde et justifie la suprématie de sa dimension spirituelle.
Le CV anonyme : ce qu’en pensent les candidats
Authors: Lacroux Alain , Martin-Lacroux Christelle
Published: June 2019

Recruterait-on mieux avec des outils plus innovants ? Cette question conserve toute son actualité dans un contexte de promotion de la diversité sur le lieu de travail : les expérimentations se multiplient à l’heure actuelle pour parvenir à un recrutement plus inclusif, respectueux de la diversité (recrutement sans CV, vidéo de candidature, anonymisation...). À l’heure actuelle, le CV demeure l’outil de présélection le plus utilisé en France, mais il est l’objet de critiques car il peut engendrer l’activation de stéréotypes à l’origine de comportements discriminatoires (tout au moins dans la forme habituelle qu’il revêt en France). Ces discriminations sont doublement délétères : elles privent les organisations de salariés compétents et provoquent chez les candidats rejetés un sentiment d’injustice. Dans ce contexte, le CV anonyme a été présenté comme un outil de présélection à la fois simple et efficace pour neutraliser les discriminations en matière d’accès à l’entretien. Nous formulons l’hypothèse que cet outil est bien perçu par les candidats et améliore leur perception de justice vis-à-vis de la procédure de sélection. Dans un cadre expérimental, 316 candidats ont été invités à évaluer des séries aléatoires de CV anonymes ou non anonymes. Leur jugement a été comparé à celui de 1086 recruteurs testés dans les mêmes conditions. Les candidats ont été ensuite interrogés sur leur sentiment de justice vis-à-vis de la méthode de présélection utilisée. Les résultats montrent que les candidats placés en situation de recruteurs et les recruteurs professionnels adoptent des formes de jugement très proches (des comportements discriminatoires identiques sont mis en évidence). Le CV en général est globalement perçu comme un support de présélection efficace par les candidats, mais ceux qui ont été exposés à des séries de CV anonymes considèrent le processus de sélection comme plus éthique que ceux exposés à des séries de CV nominatifs.

Published: June 2019

La décentralisation politique, et plus précisément la question de la structure optimale d’échelons territoriaux, est au cœur du débat public. Ces questions ont occupé une place importante parmi les économistes, notamment dans les Etats fédéraux. Récemment, un ensemble de travaux aborde cette problématique en analysant les facteurs politiques influençant les liens entre les différents niveaux d’autorité locale et les politiques publiques au niveau des territoires. Cet article propose un état des lieux portant notamment sur le résultat de trois articles récents dans le cas français.
Rural Innovations
Authors: Rao Roopesh
Published: July 2019

In a country like India innovations are more referred as “jugaad”. Though the dictionary does not explain such kind of words, but every person in India understands the importance of jugaad. India has one of the largest systems for agricultural research in the world. However this system has focused predominantly on strengthening of cereal production under irrigated conditions. It would be essential that they participate in all decision making which cater to overall development of rural India. India also needs to increase its efforts to tap into the rapidly growing stock of global knowledge through channels such as FDI, technology licensing, importation of capital merchandise that embody knowledge, as well as advanced products, components, and services. This chapter analyses and focuses on various innovative practices done with the help of Government, Public Private Partnership, private Players, Individuals, NGOS, etc.

Abstract. We present version 3 of the Cloud_cci AVHRR-PM dataset which contains a comprehensive set of cloud and radiative flux properties on a global scale covering the period of 1982 to 2016. The properties were retrieved from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) measurements recorded by the afternoon (post meridiem, PM) satellites of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Polar Operational Environmental Satellites (POES) missions. The cloud properties in version 3 are of improved quality compared with the precursor dataset version 2, providing better global quality scores for cloud detection, cloud phase and ice water path based on validation results against A-Train sensors. Furthermore, the parameter set was extended by a suite of broadband radiative flux properties. They were calculated by combining the retrieved cloud properties with thermodynamic profiles from reanalysis and surface properties. The flux properties comprise upwelling and downwelling, shortwave and longwave broadband fluxes at the surface (bottom-of-atmosphere - BOA) and top-of-atmosphere (TOA). All fluxes were determined at AVHRR pixel level for all-sky and clear-sky conditions, which will particularly facilitate the assessment of the cloud radiative effect at BOA and TOA in future studies. Validation of the BOA downwelling fluxes against the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) show a very good agreement. This is supported by comparisons of multi-annual mean maps with NASA's Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) products for all fluxes at BOA and TOA. The Cloud_cci AVHRR-PM version 3 dataset allows for a large variety of climate applications that build on cloud properties, radiative flux properties and/or the link between them. For the presented Cloud_cci AVHRR-PMv3 dataset a Digital Object Identifier has been issued: https://doi.org/10.5676/DWD/ESA_Cloud_cci/AVHRR-PM/V003 (Stengel et al., 2019).
ANÁLISE ESTATÍSTICA DA COMPOSIÇÃO GRAVIMÉTRICA DOS RESÍDUOS SÓLIDOS URBANOS COM O ÍNDICE DE DESENVOLVIMENTO HUMANO PARA OS MUNICÍPIOS DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO

Published: July 2019

O crescimento populacional recente e não planejado da humanidade está diretamente relacionado ao aumento da quantidade de resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) gerados. O desafio do Brasil se encontra no gerenciamento adequado de tais resíduos, uma vez que há uma carência em estudos e de investimentos no setor. Este artigo tem o objetivo de correlacionar o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) dos municípios de São Paulo com a quantidade de matéria orgânica gerada e descrita nos Planos Municipais de Gestão Integrada de Resíduos Sólidos (PMGIRS). Para isso, utilizou-se análises estatísticas e matemáticas que auxiliaram no diagnóstico da correlação das variáveis. Os resultados encontrados demonstraram que de um total de 645 municípios existentes no estado de São Paulo, apenas um pouco mais da metade apresentaram seus planos. No entanto, apenas 163 dos PMGIRS foram encontrados na internet e somente 78, o que representa 12% do total dos municípios, apresentou no PMGIRS dados da composição gravimétrica dos RSU. Além, da escassez de dados, a análise estatística não apresentou uma relação linear e simétrica entre as variáveis. Concluindo que para os municípios paulistas não existe uma associação forte entre a matéria orgânica presente nos RSU e o IDH.
Price-Volume Granger Causality Tests in the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX)
Authors: Abukari Kobana , Assogbavi Tov
Published: June 2019

Using weekly Egyptian stock exchange data on the 34 most active companies stretching from 2011 to 2017, this study finds that price changes Granger cause trading volume up to 8 weeks (lags), supporting the sequential information arrival model in the EGX. We also find a robust contemporaneously positive asymmetric relationship between price change and trading volume, confirming two well-documented characteristics of the price-volume relationship as well as two major adages of Wall Street: “it takes volume to move prices” and “volume in bull markets is heavier than volume in bear markets”. Overall, our results imply that although there is some sequential diffusion of information, the EGX’s efforts at improving its microstructure through initiatives such as the 2009 Presidential Degree on structure and governance, appear to have helped in improving instantaneous access to information – as exemplified by our evidence of strong contemporaneous positive price-volume relationship.

Authors: Ran An
Published: June 2019

The purpose of this study is to see whether gender and degree of familiarity simultaneously play roles in the apologystrategies employed by Chinese native speakers and to put implications on English pragmatic education of Chinesepeople about how to adjust English apology strategy in English context. There are 95 people participating in thisstudy including 39 males and 56 females. The significant differences of gender only show in one situation and oneapology strategy. However, the degree of familiarity can pose a profound influence on the choice of apology strategy.

Published: June 2019

The need for rapid development in developing countries has led to establishment of major public infrastructure even in biodiversity rich protected areas. Mikumi National Park in central Tanzania is traversed by five such major infrastructures namely an optic fibre, a busy public road, an oil pipeline, power lines and railways. We assessed diversity and abundance of small terrestrial mammals of the order Eulipotyphla and Rodentia as indicator groups in relation to impacts of such infrastructure. Animals were live trapped during wet (February-April) and dry (July- September) seasons in 2018 from three established plots along the three transects set perpendicular to each of the four infrastructures. In 10102 trap nights, we captured 453 small mammals of nine species of which Mastomys natalensis constituted 75.4 % of total catch. Diversity and abundance varied between seasons, infrastructure and plots location. Dry season had significantly higher diversity than wet season and the railway site had higher diversity than the other infrastructure. The intermediate plots (500 m from infrastructure) had significantly higher abundance of animals than immediate (0-50 m) and distant (1000 m) plots. The differences in these results can be attributed by seasonal fluctuations of animal populations, and intensity of disturbance in each infrastructure and plot. It is important to examine impacts of future infrastructure developments using small mammals.
Early Childhood Development and Education: Theoretical Convergences and Divergences
Authors: Varela Londoño Sandra Patricia , Martínez de Soria Aurora Bernal , Rivas Sonia
Published: June 2019

This article introduces a theoretical study about convergent and divergent aspects between the concepts of education and early childhood development. This, set up from a social and educational approach, based on a in-depth theoretical review. The beliefs of children’s parents and caregivers are highlighted as a significant aspect on children’s development; all, considering the practices used for educating them, promoting a holistic child development, or the contrary. These insights make it possible to understand the rationality and applicability of child development and education theories. Hence, we advocate in this manuscript for an interdisciplinary and holistic perspective to approach child development taking into consideration factors and conditions, as well as fusing conceptual frameworks from various disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and philosophy.

Authors: Ghanem Bassam O. , Abu Awwad Ferial M.
Published: June 2019

The goal of this study is to determine the degree of leadership skills practiced by principals at UNRWA schools. In order to achieve this goal a questionnaire consisting of 56 items was developed, which included two domains: Administrative and Technical skills, and personal and social skills. This questionnaire had been verified in terms of its validity and reliability. The study sample consisted of 400 male and female teachers, distributed according to gender into 185 male and 215 females from UNRWA schools. The main results of the study revealed that the mean score on the administrative and technical skills was 126.63 with a percentage of 77% and on the personal and social skills 77.3 with a percentage of 67%. However, the mean score of the total score was 203.93 with a percentage of 73% which means that the degree of principals’ practice of leadership skills was in average. Also, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the sample on the administrative and technical skills due to gender variable in favor of females. The study ended with some recommendations relating to enhance the principal’s skills in general and for male principals specifically.
