Authors: Putri Chintia Ariani , Prasetyo P. Eko
Published: March 2020

Electronic money is an innovation in payment systems. Although transactions continue to increase, the ratio of electronic money transactions to transactions using the Card Payment Instrument is always less than 1%. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of monetary instruments namely the money supply (M1), counterfeit money, and economic growth on electronic money transactions in Indonesia. This research uses a quantitative method using time series data during the period January 2016 - December 2018. Data analysis uses multiple linear regression with a double log model based on OLS. The results of this study indicate that the money supply (M1) has a positive and significant effect on electronic money transactions, counterfeit money has no significant effect on electronic money transactions, economic growth has a positive and significant effect on electronic money transactions. The implication of this research is that electronic money should be given additional security such as PIN so that when the owner loses it will not lose the balance contained therein, Bank Indonesia should encourage and encourage the public to switch to using electronic money so that it can reduce the money supply and avoid the risk of counterfeit money.

Published: March 2020

In the last few years, due to the surge in the attention towards leadership and the lack of a review mapping the effects of leadership on organizational performance, we believe its coherent to provide a clear review on leadership and how it affects organizational performance. This paper aims to review empirical studies on leadership and organizational performance with the aim of constructing a comprehensive model to conceptualize existing literature. The authors reviewed main journals with impact factor of over 2 and all Leadership titled SSCI journals. As a result, 687 studies published between 1957 and 2017 were analyzed, out of which 486 met the criteria of being empirical studies on leadership and performance. Out of the 486, 20 articles used Organizational Performance as their dependent variable, thus were included in our model. In doing so, the authors aim to extend the field in three ways: First, based on their review, the authors mapped a comprehensive model of the effects of leadership style and leadership characteristics through moderators and organizational mediators on organizational performance. Second, the authors, through vigorous examination, display and evaluate existing variables and measures on leadership and organizational performance within the literature. Finally, the authors aim to contribute to the field by presenting a detailed future research agenda and practical considerations for managerial implications.

Son otuz yıl boyunca küresel rekabet çarpıcı biçimde değişmiştir. Küreselleşme ile farklılaşan müşteri ihtiyaçları göz önüne alındığında müşteri davranışlarının yönetilebilmesi için gerekli pazarlama stratejileri daha da önem kazanmıştır. Pazarlama literatüründe çok eski bir kavram olan pazarlama karmasının müşteri davranışları üzerine etkisinin incelendiği çok sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Bu çalışmalar, değişen teknoloji ortamında işletmeler için kritik öneme sahip olan bilginin edinimi ve ticarileşme süreçlerinin yönetilebilmesini sağlayan teknoloji temelli pazarlama kavramının da olumlu müşteri çıktıları elde etmek için gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır. Literatürde teknoloji temelli pazarlama unsurlarının müşteri davranışlarına etkisinin incelendiği çalışmalar yer alırken, pazarlama karması ile teknoloji temelli pazarlamanın ortak etkisini inceleyen çalışmaların eksikliği dikkati çekmektedir. Çalışmalar, pazarlama karmasının müşteri davranışlarına direkt etkisine yoğunlaşmış, dolaylı bir etki ihtimali gözden kaçırılmıştır. Bu araştırmada gözetim yöntemlerinden anket yöntemi kullanılmış olup, anket kişiler arasında yayılarak kartopu yöntemi ile uygulama yaptığımız hava yolu sektörü çalışanlarına iletilmiştir. Araştırmada 193 hava yolu çalışanın oluşturduğu veriler pazarlama karması ile teknoloji temelli pazarlama arasında direkt bir ilişki olduğunu, teknoloji temelli pazarlama ile müşteri memnuniyeti ve satın alma niyeti arasında direkt bir ilişki olduğu ve teknoloji temelli pazarlamanın, pazarlama karması ile müşteri memnuniyeti ve satın alma niyeti arasında aracı değişken etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma pazarlama karması ve teknoloji temelli pazarlamanın bir arada kullanıldığı ve müşteri davranışlarına etkisini test eden başka bir çalışma bulunmaması sebebiyle literatüre önemli bir katkı yapmaktadır.

Temporary Epicardial Pacing Wire Migration into the Right Heart, 10 Months after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Authors: Park Sungjoon , LEE Jaehoon , Byun Young-Sup , Jung In Hyun , Chung Euysuk
Published: March 2020

Migrations of retained temporary epicardial pacing wires (TEPWs) are rare and critical complications of cardiac surgery. A 73-year-old man who had received coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with retained TEPW 10 months previously visited the outpatient clinic. In routine echocardiography, we observed an artificial structure in the right heart. We performed computed tomography (CT), identified TEPW in the right heart, confirmed the TEPW migration process by comparing it with previous CTs, and removed it via catheter intervention. We report this rare case because we identified TEPW in the heart, determined its migration process, and removed it without complications.
Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm Resembling Cardiac Tumor: A Case Report
Authors: Wang Hongxia , Zheng Zhelan , Mou Yun
Published: March 2020

Background: Coronary artery aneurysms are not uncommon vascular anomalies, but giant coronary artery aneurysms mimicking cardiac tumors are extremely rare and easily misdiagnosed as tumors. The management and prognosis are not well defined.
Case report: We describe a case of a 50-year-old woman, who had a transthoracic echocardiogram that suggested a cardiac tumor in the right ventricle adjacent to the tricuspid valve and without ventricular wall akinesia. Her medical history was unremarkable, and she had no obvious symptoms. A transesophageal echocardiogram and computed tomography angiogram examination suggested the tumor-like structure was a giant coronary aneurysm, originating from the distal portion of right coronary artery. The patient underwent surgical intervention and recovered uneventfully. Histopathology of the excised aneurysm showed fibrous tissue hyperplasia with collagenization and calcification in the wall of the artery.
Conclusion: Giant coronary artery aneurysms resembling heart tumors are extremely rare. Differentiating them from cardiac tumors can sometimes be difficult. This rare case emphasizes the importance of combining multiple imaging methods, which helps make accurate diagnosis. For treatment, surgical intervention may be the appropriate therapeutic strategy for the rare lesion.
Tools for the Genetic Manipulation of Herpetomonas muscarum
Authors: Sloan Megan A , Ligoxygakis Petros
Published: March 2020

Trypanosomatid parasites are causative agents of important human and animal diseases such as sleeping sickness and leishmaniasis. Most trypanosomatids are transmitted to their mammalian hosts by insects, often belonging to Diptera (or true flies). With resistance to both vector-targeted pesticides and trypanocidal drugs being reported, there is a need for novel transmission blocking strategies to be developed. Studies using the blood-feeding vectors themselves are not broadly accessible, as such, new model systems are being developed to unpick insect-trypanosmatids interactions. One such case is the interactions between the model dipteran Drosophila melanogaster and its natural trypanosomatid Herpetomonas muscarum. Our previous work has found that much of the transcriptomic changes triggered in H. muscarum after ingestion by Drosophila reflect what is known for disease-causing trypanosomatids. Here we describe a set of tools to genetically manipulate the parasite and therefore create a truly tractable insect-parasite interaction system from both sides of this association. These include transgenic fluorescently tagged parasites to follow infection dynamics in the fly gut as well as iterations of plasmids that can be used for generating knock-in and knock-out strains. The tools presented in this short report will facilitate further characterization of trypanosomatid establishment in a model dipteran.

Abstrak Country can be said to be a state if elements of the state have been fulfilled. One of the most fundamental elements is the existence of the people. The existence of the people means that there are people who live and become subjects of government and enforced rules. Without rules, the consequence is that there will be a large number of crimes that cannot be overcome. Therefore criminal law exists to optimize a regulation and implementation in the community. In the constitution of the Indonesian state, there has been guaranteed the rights of everyone from the right to life, the right not to be tortured, the right to religion and human rights that cannot be reduced in any case. But with Article 81 A paragraph (3) of Law No. 17 of 2016 concerning the second amendment to Law No. 3 of 2002 concerning Child Protection. In this article the phrase the addition of basic crimes especially chemical castration punishment becomes a problem that causes controversy among the public. So the government needs to reconsider with regard to Article a quo by using preventive and repressive measures to address these problems.  The theory that author use is Law Enforcement along with the principles of das sein and das sollen. With normative research methods that are descriptive, and through a conceptual approach. So the author recommend that the application of chemical castration and rehabilitation as a form of treatment oriented to protect perpetrators and sexual crimes.
Consumers's willingness to pay for avoiding Salmonella infection
Authors: Vajda Á. , Mohácsi-Farkas Cs. , Ózsvári L. , Kasza Gy.
Published: March 2020

Salmonellosis is a widely known infectious disease in Hungary that played dominant role between 1960 and 1996 and remained one of the top food-borne illnesses to these days with an estimated total number of 96 048 cases (2019). Beside direct costs of treatment, indirect costs are also significant on the level of population. Among indirect costs, consumer well-being losses are difficult to be estimated. For this purpose, the willingness to pay (WTP) method is used most frequently that measures the cost an individual would undertake to avoid a certain harm. For the well-being loss estimation, the data of National Food Chain Safety Authority's annual consumer survey was used, in which 323 respondents gave evaluable answer to the open-ended WTP question. Results indicate that an average respondent would pay 18.6 EUR to avoid salmonellosis. Main factors affecting WTP were size of family and number of children. The numbers indicate that the consumer well-being loss could be about 1 786 060 EUR annually, resulting from the multiplication of the estimated number of annual salmonellosis cases and the average WTP value. It can be concluded that consumer well-being losses alone would call for further interventions in Salmonella eradication, not to mention other – more direct – cost elements.

Published: March 2020

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo determinar si existe relación significativa entre las variables de rasgos de personalidad y conducta sexual de riesgo en estudiantes de 3º a 5º grado del nivel secundario de dos instituciones educativas de San Juan de Lurigancho. El estudio es de diseño no experimental, de enfoque cuantitativo, de alcance correlacional y de corte transversal. Las escalas utilizadas para la medición de las variables fueron: el cuestionario de personalidad Big Five, elaborado por Caprara, Barbaranelli y Borgogni (1993), que contiene cinco dimensiones: energía, tesón, afabilidad, estabilidad emocional y apertura mental; también se usó el cuestionario de conducta sexual de riesgo de Apaza, Estelo y Quiroz (2017). La muestra estuvo conformada por 300 estudiantes de ambos sexos entre las edades de 14 a 18 años, pertenecientes a dos instituciones educativas del distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho. Se encontró que existe relación significativa entre la dimensión “tesón” con dos conductas sexuales de riesgo: relaciones sexuales con personas desconocidas (X2= 4.774; p=.029) y relaciones sexuales en fiestas con amigos (X2=6,563; p=.038); por su parte, la dimensión “estabilidad emocional” se relaciona significativamente con el uso del preservativo en la última relación sexual (X2=7.491; p=.024). Este trabajo concluye afirmando que no todos los rasgos de personalidad se relacionan con las conductas sexuales de riesgo, ya que intervienen distintos factores para que dichas conductas estén presentes en el adolescente.

El presente artículo objetiva analizar la gestión de la política pública dirigida a la atención de los determinantes sociales de la salud, que inciden en la adherencia al tratamiento antirretroviral en mujeres con VIH/SIDA de la Clínica del Hospital San Juan de Dios. Para lo anterior se planteó el siguiente problema de investigación: ¿Cómo se gestiona la política pública dirigida a la atención de los determinantes sociales de la salud, que inciden en la adherencia al tratamiento antirretroviral en mujeres con VIH-SIDA atendidas en el Hospital San Juan de Dios? La investigación fue de tipo cualitativa, y se realizaron como técnicas de investigación la revisión documental, la entrevista no estructurada y el grupo focal, aplicados a actores sociales vinculados con la política pública en VIH y mujeres seropositivas atendidas en el Hospital San Juan de Dios. El análisis se realizó desde la Teoría Fundamentada. Resultados: la descripción de la política pública en VIH/SIDA, el análisis de la política (las acciones y omisiones por parte de los actores sociales) y el planteamiento de lineamientos para los diferentes actores sociales que participan en la gestión de la política. Conclusiones: la metodología utilizada fue acertada para acercarse al problema de investigación y generó nuevas estrategias metodológicas para análisis de política pública en general. En Costa Rica se cuenta con una política en VIH, pero la misma no incluye de manera directa el abordaje de los determinantes sociales de la salud en la adherencia de las mujeres. Las brechas encontradas corresponden a un problema de gestión de los actores sociales.
After Words: Negotiating Participant and Portraitist Response in the Study “Aftermath”
Authors: LIU PEI PEI
Published: March 2020

In this essay, Pei Pei Liu identifies the act of unveiling a completed portrait to solicit participant response as central to the conceptualization of portraiture. While this explicit extension of research relationships into the study “aftermath” distinguishes portraiture from many other qualitative methods, little practical guidance exists for portraitists striving to navigate this process, as published portraits and methodological writings rarely depict the event. To address this gap, Liu shares case studies from her own work that illustrate the inherent tensions stemming from multiple and sometimes conflicting rationales for soliciting participant response in portraiture. She then proposes three methodological commitments that could help portraitists and other qualitative researchers bring greater clarity and intentionality to this complex process.
Mothering Special Children: Negotiating Gender, Disability, and Special Education in Contemporary China
Authors: WU JINTING
Published: March 2020

In this research article, Jinting Wu examines the lived experiences of mothers raising and educating children with disabilities in contemporary China. In the national project of cultivating “quality” citizens, and in the individual pursuit of successful child-rearing, mothers of special children in China are viewed as deficient for conceiving “less-than-perfect” offspring. Drawing on an ethnographic study in a special education school in Guangzhou, Wu explores motherhood's intersections with disability, patriarchy, and state power as the site of social vulnerability and inequality in urban China and highlights the ways special mothers engage in moral experimentation, turning trying circumstances into opportunities to strive and transform. Working hard to be good mothers against many odds, these women are simultaneously the “suffering subjects” and “morally striving subjects,” and their experiences critique as well as shed new light on social justice.

aula de História: a experiência e a biografia docente na produção do conhecimento escolar de História
Authors: Crema Everton Carlos
Published: March 2020

A discussão encaminhada vai ao encontro das condições e possibilidades de criação/construção das aulas de história desenvolvidas por professoras e professores da rede pública de ensino de União da Vitória, PR, tendo como perspectiva de mediação a experiência profissional docente, a cultura escolar, o currículo e a diversidade de metodologias de ensino-aprendizagem. Discutir o processo criativo dos conteúdos e metodologias do ensino escolar de História apresenta-se fundamentalmente importante e necessário, pois se desenvolvem dentro de relações e alcance mais pragmáticos e em resposta a questões mais próximas e urgentes às escolas. Em contraste às continuadas sucessões, sobreposições curriculares, à falta de uma formação continuada eficaz e à distância formativa da universidade, desenvolvem-se, por parte de nossos professores, estratégias didático-metodológicas autorais no ensino escolar de História. Precisamos olhar para as condições e práticas de ensino de História que se desenvolvem nas salas de aulas de nossas escolas, buscando nesse processo uma aproximação entre os níveis escolares e de formação docente. Por meio de pesquisas da biografia profissional docente e da análise das práticas didático-metodológicas, percebemos em reflexo que elas se desenvolvem próximas à experiência profissional e à cultura escolar e, sobretudo, compartilham de um espectro metodológico diverso e próximo do que convencionamos chamar de produção estética da aula. Nesse sentido a pesquisa aplicada dentro das escolas ultrapassa a idealização e formalização do currículo e busca construir um desenho didático mais próximo da realidade do ensino.

Published: March 2020

The study examines the effect of economic and agricultural diversification on economic growth in Nigeria. The objectives were to determine the effect of government agricultural spending on Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product. Data were collected from secondary sourced using the time series data which was extracted from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) annual Statistical Bulletin for the period and The Nigeria Bureau of Statistic annual reports. Data were analyzed using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach or Bound Test Method. The findings revealed that Government agricultural expenditure does not have a significant effect on Gross Domestic Product.

Authors: Singh Shyam Prakash , Chandel B. S.
Published: March 2020

Livestock insurance scheme has been formulated with the twin objectives of providing protection mechanism to the small, marginal and landless farmers against any eventual loss of their animals due to accident or natural death and to attain qualitative improvement in livestock and their products. Despite this, farmers and agencies faced various constraints in involved livestock insurance. From the analysis, it can be concluded that farmers opted for livestock insurance considered major constraints as animals not insured at actual market price and lengthy procedures in completing the formalities to file the claim. The insurance companies considered lack of information about willing farmers and untimely submission of documents for claims as the most important constraint in doing the insurance.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between dramatic play and self-regulation in preschool age. The descriptive correlational methodology is utilized using three tools: dramatic play questionnaire, self-regulation scale (Head, Toes, Knees, and Shoulders), and children’s interviews. The sample of the study consists of 60 children aged 4-6 years. Quantitative analysis is done using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The interviews with children are qualitatively analyzed calculating frequency, and percentage of coded data. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between dramatic play and self-regulation. Besides, it is found that self-regulation could be predicted through the dimension of interactions with others during dramatic play. The study also proves a defect in the quality of dramatic play in terms of social interaction, symbolism, and themes and roles practiced by children. In the light of these results, the researchers suggest that mothers and teachers’ awareness of the importance of quality dramatic play should be enhanced, to enable them to allow and plan for quality play. Also, allowing flexibility in preschool programs could support teachers’ efforts in enhancing play engagement and development. Finally, this study has facilitated further research in the Arabian region, since it highlighted a valid, cross-cultural tool for measuring self-regulation in the Arabic language.

Published: March 2020

The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a human pathogen recently emerged in China, causing a global pandemic of severe respiratory illness (COVID19). SARS-CoV-2 makes entry into human cells through its spike (S) protein that binds to cell surface receptors. Widespread of SARS-CoV-2 has been attributed to high affinity of S protein to its receptor. A homology model of the receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 S protein (RBD) was built. RBD- receptor docking and published molecular dynamics data were used to map the key RBD-receptor interaction hotspot (RBDhp) on the RBD. Primary virtual screening was carried out against RBDhp using more than 3300 compounds approved by U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other authorities for human use. Compounds that bind to hpRBD with a binding energy ≤ - 6.5 kcal/mol were subjected to secondary screening using a recently published cryo EM (2.9 Å) structure of RBD. A cardiac glycoside (dgitoxin), two anthracyclines (zorubicin and aclarubicin), a tetracycline derivative (rolitetracycline), a cephalosporin (cefoperazone) and a food dye (E-155) were predicted to be most potent inhibitors of RBD – receptor interaction. An anti-asthmatic drug (zafirlukast) and several other drugs (itrazol, fazadinium, troglitazone, gliquidone, Idarubicin, Oxacillin) were found to be high affinity binders that may have a potential to inhibit RBD – receptor interaction.
Widely Available Lysosome Targeting Agents Should Be Considered as a Potential Therapy for COVID-19
Authors: Homolak Jan , Kodvanj Ivan
Published: March 2020

While the COVID-19 pandemic advances, the scientific community struggles in the search for treatments. Several improvements have been made, including the discovery of clinical efficacy of chloroquine (CQ) in COVID-19 patients, but the effective treatment protocols are still missing. In order to find novel treatment options many scientists utilize the in silico approach to identify compounds that could interfere with the key molecules involved in entrance, replication, or dissemination of the SARS-CoV-2. However, most of the identified molecules are currently not available as pharmacological agents, and assessing their safety and efficacy could take many months. Here, we took a different approach based on the proposed pharmacodynamic model of CQ in COVID-19. The main mechanism of action responsible for the favourable outcome of COVID-19 patients treated with CQ seems to be related to pH modulation-mediated effect on the endolysosomal trafficking, a characteristic of chemical compounds often called lysosomotropic agents because of the physico-chemical properties that enable them to passively diffuse through the endosomal membrane and undergo protonation-based trapping in the lumen of the acidic vesicles. In this review, we discuss lysosomotropic and lysosome targeting drugs that are already in clinical use and are characterized by good safety profiles, low cost, and wide availability. We emphasize that some of these drugs, in particular azithromycin and other macrolide antibiotics, indomethacin and some other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, proton pump inhibitors, and fluoxetine could provide additional therapeutic benefits in addition to the potential antiviral effect that still has to be confirmed by well-controlled clinical trials. As some of these drugs, mostly antibiotics, were already empirically used in the treatment of COVID-19, we encourage our colleagues all over the world to publish patient data so potential efficacy of these agents can be evaluated in the clinical context and rapidly implemented in the therapeutic protocols if the beneficial effect on clinical outcome is observed.

Published: March 2020

The Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA ((+)ssRNA) virus. The COVID-19 Main Proteases play very important role in the propagation of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). It has already killed more than 8000 people around the world and thousands of people are getting infected every day. Therefore, it is very important to identify a potential inhibitor against COVID-19 Main Proteases to inhibit the propagation of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). We have applied a drug repurposing approach of computational methodology, depending on the synergy of molecular docking and virtual screening techniques, aimed to identify possible potent inhibitors against Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) from FDA approved antiviral compounds and from the library of active phytochemicals. On the basis of recently resolved COVID-19 Main Protease crystal structure (PDB:6LU7), the library of 100 FDA approved antiviral compounds and 1000 active components of Indian Medicinal Plants extracted for screening against COVID-19 Main Protease. The compounds were further screened using Pyrex virtual screening tool and then best inhibitors, top 19 compounds optimally docked to the COVID-19 Main Protease structure to understand the participation of specific amino acids with inhibitors at active sites. Total 19 best compounds were identified after screening based on their highest binding affinity with respect to the other screened compounds. Out of 19, 6 best compounds were further screened based on their binding affinity and best ADME properties. Nelfinavir exhibited highest binding energy -8.4 kcal/mol and strong stability with the TRP207, ILE281, LEU282, PHE3, PHE291, GLN127, ARG4, GLY283, GLU288, LYS5, LYS137, TYR126, GLY138, TYR126, SER139 and VAL135 amino acid residues of COVID-19 Main Protease participating in the interaction at the binding pocket. In addition to Nelfinavir (-8.4), Rhein (-8.1), Withanolide D (-7.8), Withaferin A (-7.7), Enoxacin (-7.4), and Aloe-emodin (-7.4) also showed good binding affinity and best ADME properties. Our findings suggest that these compounds can be used as potential inhibitors against COVID-19 Main Protease, which could be helpful in inhibiting the propagation of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Moreover, further in vitro and in vivo validation of these findings would be very helpful to bring these inhibitors to next level study.
Soft Sensing Based In Situ Control of Thermo-Fluidic Processes in DoD Inkjet Printing
Authors: Das Amritam , Weiland Siep
Published: March 2020

This paper introduces a closed-loop control strategy for maintaining consistency of ink temperature in commercial Drop on Demand (DoD) inkjet printing. No additional sensors or additional actuators are installed in the printhead while achieving the consistency in ink temperature. To this end, this paper presents a novel in situ sensing-actuation policy at every individual ink-nozzle, where the jetting mechanism has three distinct roles. It is used for jetting liquid droplet onto the print media based on the print-job. It is used as a softsensor to estimate the real-time liquid temperature of the jetting nozzle. While not jetting liquid, it is used as a heating actuator to minimize the gradient of liquid temperature among jetting nozzles. The soft-sensing based in situ controller is implemented in an experimentally validated digital twin that models the thermo-fluidic processes of the printhead. The digital twin is scalable and flexible to incorporate an arbitrary number of inknozzles, making the control strategy applicable for future designs of the printhead.
