Pengaruh Modal Inti Terhadap Profitabilitas Dan Kinerja Perbankan (Studi Pada Bank Syariah Di Indonesia)
Authors: Kristiningsih Kristiningsih - , Ruswiati Ruswiati
Published: July 2022

Background - The growth potential of sharia banking business in Indonesia is increasing, so it is important to evaluate the performance of sharia banking. Aim - This study aims to examine the effect of core capital on the profitability  and  performance  of  Islamic  Commercial  Banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This research is expected to provide input in financial knowledge, especially in the field of evaluating bank financial performance and the factors that influence it. Design/ Methodology/ Approach - The research object is 12 Islamic banks in Indonesia. The data is taken from the financial statements of each Islamic bank from 2015 to 2018. Hypothesis testing is carried out using a structural equation model with the WARP PLS program. Results and Discussion – The results show that core capital has a significant effect on profitability, as well as profitability has a significant effect on core capital. The results also show that core capital has no effect on performance and performance has no significant effect on core capital. The results showed that profitability had no effect on performance. Conclusion - The results of this study conclude that of the five hypotheses proposed only two are accepted, namely core capital has a significant effect on profitability, and vice versa profitability also has a significant effect on core capital. This study produces evidence that core capital has no significant effect on the performance of Islamic banks. Likewise, it turns out that profitability also does not significantly affect the performance of Islamic banks, but on the contrary, the performance of Islamic banks has no significant effect on profitability. Research implications - for the Islamic banking business, this research can provide input on how to measure the performance of Islamic banks through the profitability and core capital of Islamic banks. The object of research is 12 Islamic banks in. Limitations of the study - The research was carried out during the period when Islamic banks in Indonesia had not been merged

Architecture in the second half of the 20th century: forms of expression and the “environmental issue”
Authors: Bosia Daniela , Canella Gentucca , Marzi Tanja , Savio Lorenzo
Published: July 2022

Numerous architectural works from the second half of the 20th century, having a recognized cultural value, turn out to be quite problematic when observed in the scope of today’s unavoidable principle of environmental responsibility. Though representing an energy “issue”, they are at the same time a “high-level witness” in the context of architecture, whose original form of expression, language, and perception must be preserved as intact as possible. This paper critically presents three interventions on architectures in Turin by Domenico Morelli that allow us to make a series of general observations concerning the relationship between preservation and adaptation of works from the second half of the 20th century.

The renovation of the building stock in Europe: an essential opportunity to store carbon in buildings
Authors: Habert Guillaume , Iannaccone Giuliana , Pittau Francesco
Published: July 2022

In the next decades, a large share of residential buildings in EU-28 is expected to be renovated and a large amount of insulation materials will be produced. Bio-based materials are a valuable alternative to insulate the buildings and the biogenic carbon can be stored in the built environment for a relative long time. This article investigates the effect of massively storing carbon in construction when different bio-based materials are used. The results show that only bio-based material with a very fast regrowth, e.g. straw, have an effective potential in removing carbon from the air in a very short-time, and can contribute to achieve the Paris Agreement goals by 2050.

Along with the development of technology, the film industry continues to increase, this can be seen from the number of films that appear both in cinemas and tv shows. The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is a website that provides information about films from around the world, including the people involved in the films. Information contained on IMDB such as actor/actress, director, writer, to the soundtrack used. In addition, IMDb is the most popular and trusted source of information for movies, TV, and other celebrity content. In this case, the researcher will conduct research on the film with what title is the most popular among the public by looking at some of the parameters contained in IMDB such as the number on the rating, score, certificate, and votes obtained from the audience. The data used comes from the Kaggle.com website. The data mining method used is the K-Means clustering method. To find out the optimal cluster value, the Davies Bouldin index is used. The K-Means algorithm will group the data based on the centroid. The parameters used for clustering are runtime, IMDB rating, meta score, number of votes, and gross. The results of the study obtained that the average calculation of the highest attributes was 48.74 and the number of clusters formed was 4 clusters. The results of the evaluation using the confusion matrix obtained an accuracy value of 100%.

AbstractThe purpose of this work are to explore the role of ideological diffusion in the creation and maintenance of GAM 's political hegemony after the Aceh War 2005-2020 and to consider how the practice of command and control were reflected when GAM worked in political parties. The study used a qualitative method with a case study approach and the research data were collected through in-depth interviews with GAM and through journals, books, and articles in print and online. Analysis of this research using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions/verification. Diffusion of ideology is the main strategy of GAM to win elections by continuing to receive political support from the community. The spread of political ideology were reflected in the behavior of political party, legislative and executive actors, especially when they try to control the management of the government. This research was expected to explain of the use of ideology as a political strategy through the diffusion of ideology in former conflict areas. The diffusion of ideology is a tool used by local political actors as a main strategy for gaining power. By disseminating ideology, the goal is to achieve a situation of hegemony of balance that used as a way to command and control politics. AbstrakTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menggali peran difusi ideologis dalam penciptaan dan pemeliharaan hegemoni politik GAM pasca Perang Aceh 2005-2020 dan untuk mempertimbangkan bagaimana praktik komando dan kontrol tercermin ketika GAM bekerja di partai politik.

Формулювання проблеми. У статті наведено результати наукового дослідження з питань функціонування системи моніторингу успішності майбутніх магістрів медичних (фармацевтичних) закладів вищої освіти (М(Ф)ЗВО). Одним з елементів системи моніторингу успішності є ректорський зріз знань студентів з дисциплін, які входять в єдиний державний кваліфікаційний іспит (ЄДКІ).
Матеріали і методи. Для виконання поставлених завдань дослідження було використано комплекс наукових методів досліджень, а саме: бібліосемантичний метод, метод системного аналізу, тестування майбутніх магістрів М(Ф)ЗВО на платформі дистанційного навчання LIKAR_NMU, статистичні методи, аналіз статистичних даних у досліджуваних групах, визначення надійності тестів (альфа Кронбаха), складності та індексу дискримінації тестових завдань.
Результати. За результатами онлайн тестування визначалися показники абсолютної та якісної успішності майбутніх магістрів М(Ф)ЗВО. Здійснено комплексну експертизу якості тестових завдань після проведення ректорського зрізу, що дає змогу поліпшити якість тестових матеріалів і сформувати банк стандартизованих тестових завдань та тестів. Зокрема, визначено критерії надійності тестів за допомогою коефіцієнту альфа Кронбаха, що дало підстави констатувати «високу» й «дуже високу» надійність тестів. Проведено психометричний аналіз тестових завдань та побудувано діаграми психометрії тестових завдань з метою коригування тестових матеріалів.
Висновки. Проведення щоквартального ректорського зрізу забезпечує можливість для систематичного моніторингу успішності студентів та коригування їхньої навчальної траєкторії. Запровадження тестування в освітній процес М(Ф)ЗВО є значним кроком на шляху розвитку методики діагностики та контролю рівня засвоєних знань студентів. Однак тестування не повинно замінити традиційні методи педагогічного контролю та діагностики, а має лише деякою мірою доповнити їх.

Published: July 2022

Bacterial panicle blight in rice plants caused by Burkholderia glumae. These bacteria interfere with the grain filling process so that the grain is not filled and can cause yield losses of up to 75% on pathogenic infested land. This study was conducted to determine the effect of B. glumae suspension volume and inoculation method on the development of bacterial panicle blight. The research was conducted on vegetative and generative rice plants using a factorial completely randomized design with the volume of bacterial suspension as the first factor and the inoculation method as the second factor. The results showed that the higher the volume of the B. glumae suspension inoculated, the higher the severity of bacterial panicle blight in rice plants. Both the inoculation and injection methods can cause the same disease severity. Besides, the severity of bacterial panicle blight in the generative phase is more severe than in the vegetative phase.Keywords: Burkholderia glumae, generative phase, vegetative phase

The impact of remote arts on prescription: Changes in mood, attention and loneliness during art workshops as mechanisms for wellbeing change
Authors: Holt Nicola Jane
Published: July 2022

Aims: To assess the impact of art workshops delivered remotely, during the coronavirus pandemic, on the wellbeing of participants. To measure the impact of participating in arts on prescription workshops on immediate experience, in order to examine whether anxiety reduction, attentional state and social bonding are potential mechanisms for wellbeing change.Methods: The evaluation drew upon previous research tracking mood throughout psychosocial interventions. Participants completed ‘in-the-moment’ questionnaires assessing mood, loneliness and attentional absorption (‘flow’) during each workshop of an arts on prescription programme (that was delivered remotely). Participants also completed measures of global wellbeing and loneliness at the beginning and end of the programme. Results: Multi-level modelling was used to test hypotheses since the data was hierarchical (with 690 in-the-moment reports nested within 60 participants). There was a significant increase in global wellbeing and a reduction in loneliness after participation in the programme. After each art workshop there was a significant increase in: hedonic tone (contentment) and energetic arousal (alertness); and a significant decrease in tense arousal (anxiety) and loneliness. Further, reduction in tense arousal and loneliness, and entering an absorbed attentional state, during art workshops, significantly predicted changes in global wellbeing across the programme.Conclusions: The findings suggest that arts on prescription can be beneficial for wellbeing when delivered remotely. They suggest multiple mechanisms for wellbeing change: affective (reducing anxiety); cognitive (absorbed attention); and social (reducing loneliness), which has implications for intervention delivery. Further, the findings provide a direct link between experiences during art workshops and changes in global wellbeing, strengthening the evidence base for arts on prescription.

Comparing water point based and household survey based water access estimates with publicly available data
Authors: Dickinson Nicolas
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the study is to determine how water point level estimates for rural basic water service coverage from the Water Point Data Exchange (WPdx) compare to the household level estimates from the Joint Monitoring Programme of WHO/UNICEF (JMP) in multiple geographies. The study describes how these different estimates are produced and proposes the comparison of JMP basic minus services on premises to WPdx basic access. WPdx basic access estimates the population with 1km of an improved water point.Comparing between metrics and triangulating different measured results can be useful to validate conclusions and inform decision making. This study finds a relatively strong correlation and linear trend between these two estimates in four countries that suggests that using household surveys and water point inventories together can be useful to decision makers who may only have one or the other data sources or may want to validate the conclusions from one against another.The WPdx basic estimates allow a more granular geographical level of access estimates that can be useful to districts and enable national vulnerability assessments. This could strengthen the type of analysis provided in JMP inequality charts showing the differences between country regions. At the same time, further research is needed to validate these trends at these lower geographical levels.Rural water leaders, including national and local governments, development partners, service providers and civil society should continue to advocate for the publication of water point data and the validation of access estimates on the basis of publicly available information. This plays an important role in improving the quality of both public and private data sets and analyses used by researchers and decision makers.
Polygamous Interest in a Mononormative Nation: The Roles of Sex and Sociosexuality in Polygamous Interest in a Heterosexual Sample From the UK
Authors: Thomas Andrew G. , Harrison Sophie , Mogilski Justin , Stewart-Williams Steve , Workman Lance
Published: July 2022

Polygamy is a form of “one-sided” consensually non-monogamous relationship where one person has multiple committed partners, each of whom is only involved with that one person. It was likely a reoccurring feature of ancestral mating that posed adaptive problems for our ancestors. Yet polygamy, and multi-partnering more generally, is understudied in Western cultures, raising questions about the existence of polygamous interest and whether this is calibrated adaptively to personal condition. In two studies, we examined polygamous interest in two heterosexual online samples from the UK. In Study 1 (n = 393), modest interest was found for polygamous relationships overall. Men were six times more open to polygyny than women, but there was little sex difference in openness to polyandry. Further analysis revealed that all forms of multi-partnering were undesirable relative to singlehood and monogamy; however, consensual multi-partner relationships were less undesirable than non-consensual ones. Sex differences were largest for polygyny and arrangements where men had agreed access to a casual partner alongside a committed one, yet these were two of the most acceptable forms of multi-partnering when men and women’s responses were combined. Sociosexuality positively predicted interest in most forms of multi-partnering. Study 2 (n = 735) focused on polygyny and added status-linked traits as predictors. The results of Study 1 were broadly replicated, though the status-linked traits did not predict polygynous interest specifically. Instead, sociosexuality and male intrasexual competitiveness uniquely predicted general interest in multi-partner relationships. Overall, interest in polygamy appears to emerge despite social discouragement, and sex differences in interest track the relative costs and benefits associated with it. However, there is no strong evidence that polygamous interest is uniquely calibrated to personal condition when compared to other forms of multi-partnering.
Establishing ground truth in the clinical neurosciences: if replication is the answer, then what are the questions?

Published: July 2022

The replication crisis poses important challenges to modern science. Central to this challenge is re-establishing ground truths, or the most fundamental theories that serve as the bedrock to a scientific community. However, the goal to identify hypotheses with the greatest support is nontrivial given the current unprecedented rate of scientific publishing. In this era of high-volume science, the goal of this study is to sample from one research community within clinical neuroscience (traumatic brain injury; TBI) and track major trends that have shaped this literature over the past 50 years. To do so, we first conduct decade-wise (1980-2019) network analysis to examine the scientific communities that shape this literature. To establish the robustness of our network findings, we utilized searches from separate search engines (Web of Science; Semantic Scholar). As a second goal, we sought to determine the most highly cited hypotheses influencing the literature in each decade. In a third goal, we then searched for any papers referring to “replication” or efforts to reproduce findings within our >50,000 paper dataset. From this search, 550 papers were analyzed to determine the frequency and nature of formal replication studies over time. Finally, to maximize transparency, we provide a detailed procedure for the creation and analysis of our dataset, including a discussion of each of our major decision points, to facilitate similar efforts in other areas of neuroscience. We found that the unparalleled rate of scientific publishing within the TBI literature combined with the scarcity of clear hypotheses in individual publications are a challenge to both evaluating accepted findings and determining future directions. Additionally, while the conversation about reproducibility has increased over the past decade, the rate of published replication studies continues to be a negligible proportion of the research. Meta-science and computational methods offer the critical opportunity to assess the state of the science and illuminate pathways forward, but ultimately there is structural change needed in the TBI literature and perhapsothers.

Published: July 2022

This paper works towards an understanding of how modern postural yoga is promoted in new media and the role of class therein. The paper analyzes the content of four yoga Instagram profiles to discern how the contemporary postural practice is marketed on social media. In doing so, it demonstrates how yoga practitioners and organizations position their practice as both exotic and universal. This twofold movement establishes their product (yoga classes and studios) as unique yet accessible in the marketplace of spirituality and fitness. While these two processes of exoticisation and universalisation seem contradictory, this paper argues that this dissonance is emblematic of the values of the new petite bourgeoisie, a socio-economic class which serves as the main source of cultural capital in contemporary neoliberal societies.

The Government of Nepal’s Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has a provision for an Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) center in each school. Accordingly, schools are managing early childhood education and development centers in order to provide a better early learning and development environment for young children. However, the availability of quality human resources is still a critical issue. Keeping the existing reality in view, this study explored how early childhood teachers engaged with their young children (students) by implementing varied early learning activities. We deployed a case study approach and analyzed the cases of two teachers who have worked as early childhood teachers for more than five years. Observation and in-person in-depth interviews were conducted for both cases in this study. Single unit analysis for two cases was applied to analyze and draw meaning and implications of the study. This study finds that in order to engage young children in early learning, the teacher-directed approach could be useful, with the teacher taking multiple roles: as a planner, as an environment creator, as a decision maker and as a transformative practitioner.

The study aims to explore the influence of the insurance company’s specific variables and macroeconomic factors on financial performance of general insurance companies in Indonesia. The insurance company’s spesific variables are proxied by the claims ratio, premium growth ratio and risk-based-capital ratio as well as macroeconomic variables by Gross Domestic Products (GDP) and inflation, financial performance are proxied by return on assets and return on equity. The research samples are 35 registered general insurance companies at Financial Services Authority (OJK) for the 2016-2019 periods. The research method is panel data regression analysis with three stages model estimation approach ; Chow-test, Hausman-test and Langrange Multiplier-test to estimate the proper regression model of the Common Effect Model, Fixed Effect Model or Random Effect Model. The most fit regression model analysis to be selected is Random Effect Model. The results shows that the claims ratio affects return on assets and return on equity significantly, the risk-based-capital ratio affects return on assets significantly, but not affects return on equity significantly. While the premium growth ratio, GDP and inflation not affects return on assets and return on equity signficantly.
Nadzor u radnome okruženju i povreda privatnosti radnika u sudskoj praksi

Published: July 2022

Zbog napretka tehnologije, a u svrhu zapošljavanja i ostvarivanja prava i obveza iz radnoga odnosa, sve više osobnih podataka radnika postaje dostupno poslodavcima i trećim osobama. Zbog činjenice da navedeno može dovesti do povrede privatnosti u radnome odnosu, u radu se analizira problem ravnoteže između prava radnika na poštovanje privatnog i obiteljskog života, doma i dopisivanja s jedne strane te interesa poslodavca da zaštiti svoja prava s druge strane. Posebice se opisuju pravila koja reguliraju zaštitu privatnosti radnika i uvjete koji dopuštaju nadzor radnika na radnome mjestu, kroz stajališta pravne teorije te praksu sudova. U radu se analiziraju situacije u kojima korištenje nadzornih uređaja dovodi do povrede privatnosti radnika i kada se materijali pribavljeni na takav način mogu koristiti kao dokazi u sudskom postupku. Autorice zaključuju kako su poslodavci obvezni primjenjivati pravnu regulativu kojom se štiti privatnost i osobni podaci radnika te ističu nužnost određivanja mjera za neophodan nadzor radnika. Osim toga, ističu kako je potrebno jasno odrediti u kojem je opsegu potreban nadzor radnika te postaviti točno određene kriterije kako bi nadzor bio legitiman i opravdan; sve u svrhu ravnoteže između mjera nadzora u radnome okruženju i privatnog života radnika.

Rad prikazuje analizu osnovnih postavki teorije informacija s težištem na njezin utjecaj na provedbu zaštite zdravlja i sigurnosti na radu. Koncept informacije danas se koristi u gotovo svim područjima unutar vlastitog konteksta. Pri tome je taj koncept primjene specifičan fenomen koji proizlazi iz naravi neke znanstvene discipline. Prvi dio rada prikazuje povezanost teorije informacije s provedbom zdravlja i sigurnosti na radu, uz definiranje cilja, svrhe, zadataka i metoda istraživanja. U drugom dijelu rada prikazuju se osnovne postavke teorije informacije uz definiranje informacije u području semiotike. Osim toga, razmatra se sintaktički, semantički, pragmatički i estetski aspekt informacije i utjecaj navedenog u području zaštite zdravlja i sigurnosti na radu. Ističe se utjecaj informacije na provedbu zaštite zdravlja i sigurnost na radu, posebno s aspekta točnog prenošenja i razumijevanja svih relevantnih informacija. Zaštita zdravlja i sigurnost na radu sastavni je dio svakog radnog procesa, pri čemu je značaj prijenosa točnih i aktualnih informacija svakim danom sve važniji. Stoga se zaključuje da je utjecaj informacija na provedbu zaštite zdravlja i sigurnost na radu vrlo velik, a u nekim situacijama i presudan za sigurno obavljanje poslova i radnih zadataka.
Un serial epidémico sin final vislumbrable

A mitad del tercer año de la pandemia COVID-19 existe cierto relajamiento ante la actitud del virus que pareciera estar contagiando más, pero con menos estragos de severidad y muerte. Y, ¿qué podemos esperar de su comportamiento en el futuro?
Las publicaciones de los investigadores del SARS-CoV-2 muestran que continúa la incertidumbre y no existe un pronóstico fácil.
Al presente, el número de nuevos casos semanales de COVID-19 en el mundo continúa disminuyendo del máximo ocurrido en enero de 2022. En la semana del final de mayo y los primeros días de junio se han notificado más de tres millones de casos, un descenso del 12% en comparación con la semana anterior, y las muertes semanales también han descendido 22%. Hasta el 5 de junio de 2022, se notificaron más de 529 millones de casos confirmados y más de seis millones de muertes en todo el mundo (1). En las Américas, los nuevos casos confirmados disminuyeron 1% y los decesos 23%. Sin embargo, el nivel de transmisión en los Estados Unidos, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay y Brasil ha continuado alto, con 100 a 300 pruebas positivas por cada 100,000 habitantes por semana (2). El conocido Dr. Anthony Fauci, presidente de los Institutos Nacionales de la Salud (NIH) de los EE. UU. y el más experto en enfermedades infecciosas de dicho país, ha dado positivo por primera vez para la prueba de COVID-19. Fauci, de 81 años, totalmente vacunado y reforzado en dos ocasiones ha experimentado síntomas leves. Según la Universidad Johns Hopkins, se han confirmado 85 millones de casos de coronavirus en Estados Unidos y más de un millón de personas han muerto por complicaciones relacionadas con el COVID. En medio de una oleada de nuevos casos causados por la variante ómicron, Fauci dijo en enero que ‘casi todo el mundo’ en los EE. UU. se infectaría (3).

Se llama hidrotórax a una efusión pleural primaria que ocurre durante la vida prenatal (denominado ‘quilotórax primario’ después del nacimiento). En ciertos casos, esta efusión es severa y produce compresión pulmonar y cardiaca, por lo cual, la mortalidad perinatal sigue siendo alta. Los recién nacidos con hidrotórax requieren, muchas veces, de drenaje, nutrición parenteral total y medicación específica para su recuperación. Sin embargo, las intervenciones prenatales, principalmente con derivaciones toraco-amnióticas, pueden mejorar estos resultados. Reportamos el caso de un feto con hidrotórax severo a quien se le realizó una toracocentesis y revisamos la literatura acerca de su rol en el tratamiento prenatal actual.
Pólipo placentario hipervascular posparto

El pólipo placentario es un tumor de tejido placentario retenido dentro de la cavidad endometrial. Estos fragmentos retenidos de tejidos placentarios, especialmente los de tipo hipervascular, son posible causa de hemorragia aguda durante un período de tiempo indefinido después del aborto o el parto. Estos fragmentos retenidos de tejidos placentarios, compuestos predominantemente de vellosidades coriónicas necróticas e hialinizadas, le dan su condición hipervascular y pueden causar hemorragia profusa, potencialmente mortal, y requieren intervención inmediata basada en el diagnóstico diferencial correcto. Se presenta un caso de mujer de 45 años con sangrado genital. El ultimo embarazo había sido hacía 6 años. La ecografía reveló tumoración intrauterina y ecogénica de 3 x 2 x 1 centímetros con múltiples espacios quísticos en su interior. Fue sometida a resección guiada por histeroscopia en forma exitosa y el diagnóstico patológico fue de pólipo placentario hipervascular. Aunque es raro, el pólipo placentario debe considerarse como una de las causas de sangrado genital posparto.
