The film is based on a novel, including thereception of research resources in the form of adaptations in other media. The presence of KCB novelwhich filmed later is the phenomenon of ecranisation which siphon attention from the public from allbackgrounds and ages. The differences which frequently arise in ecranisation have often caused by thedifferences in the literary system (novel) and film. The differences which frequently arise in ecranisationhave often caused by the differences in the literary system (novel) and film. The technical issues, such asmedia novel form of words and language, meanwhile the main media of film is an audio-visual (soundand picture). Therefore, it would be reasonable if the film is different from the novel. In the KCB noveland film, the differences that exist are not only technical problems, but a deliberate distinction with aspecific purpose as well. Based on the facts above, the KCB novel and film have many differences causedby the reception process through KCB novel conducted by film production (screenwriter, director, andproducer). This case is a problem which becomes question in the mind of the readers of the KCB novel.The literary reception towards KCB novel which eventually lead to the film is a creative act as a reader.

Published: December 2016

Commercial endodontic pegs have a homogeneous composition and strength so that the transmission voltage of pegs to dentin often result in damage to the tooth root. The concept of functionally gradient material (FGM) is expected to overcome these problems by adjusting the mechanical properties of each peg to the nature of the teeth. This study aims to develop a material stake with the concept of FGM from Ti/40HA material that is composed of five layers with concentrations of HA from 0% - 40% wt through the process of uni-axial pressing followed by sintering at 1200oC and 1400oC in argon gas. Then performed on each layer characterization by SEM / EDX, the optimum sintering temperature was determined by test-t (p <0,05). Morphological Testing showed that the composite of Ti/40HA still porous, while EDX shows the composition of Ca and P increase as an indication of increment in the concentration of HA as the decrement in concentration of the layer-1 (100% Ti) up to layer-5 (60% Ti-40% HA). In conclusion, Ti/40HA200 and Ti/40HA200 composite materials can be produced by decreasing its roughness as the rising concentrations of HA in each section.

Published: December 2016

Sermo Reservoir is a multipurpose reservoir. Due to its natural beauty and being the only reservoir in Yogyakarta Special Region, it is visited by many tourists. Tourism activities in the reservoir may cause environmental impacts and disaster risks for the tourists. This study aims to determine the potential of Sermo Reservoir as a natural tourism object and, in general, analyze the environmental impacts and disaster risks caused by tourism activities. The study was conducted by field surveys, observations and interviews with the local community. Reservoir water samples were collected for physical and chemical parameter analysis and were evaluated against the standard requirements of water for tourism activities. Data analysis was performed using descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods, using tables and diagrams of the processed data. In general it was found that the Sermo Reservoir has high potential for tourism. However, due to the lack of supporting facilities, the number of tourist coming to the Sermo Reservoir is still not yet optimal. The environmental impacts caused by tourism activities have occurred. The positive impacts that arise are the emerging business opportunities and the increased revenue of the local people, while the negative impacts are the pollution caused by solid waste and the water quality degradation. The risk of disaster may come from accidents when conducting activities in the reservoir, and it should be considered in the development of Sermo Reservoir for tourism.

Bottleneck is possible to occur in a system like hospital, especially in admission and discharge of inpatientprocesses. It can have impact on increasing waiting time and delayed time. Some alternatives were proposed toreduce them, i.e. shift scheduling and human resource allocation. This research modelled real system accompaniedby two scenarios: the first scenario was conducted by balancing human resource utility without altering numberof employees, whereas the second scenario considered possibility of changing number of employees. The resultsshowed that both scenarios produced reduction of waiting time and delayed time. The first scenario is more feasiblecompared to the second as no hiring or firing employees occurred, resulting in waiting time reduction of 110.6minutes (15%) and decrease in delayed time by 184 minutes (15.9%). The reduction of waiting time and delayedtime is higher in scenario 2, which are 423.6 minutes (57%) and 281 minutes (24%), respectively.

A Umbanda no Extremo Oeste Catarinense: Novos olhares sobre a religiosidade regional
Authors: Enoque Silva Junior; Eidt Edinaldo; Paulino
Published: December 2016

A religiosidade brasileira se deve principalmente pela grande variedade de raças que existem nesse país desde a época da colonização: índios, europeus, africanos, orientais, etc. surgindo desta forma, um sincretismo religioso jamais visto em lugar nenhum do mundo. A mistura dessas crenças: catolicismo, crenças indígena, kardencismo e a religiosidade trazida pelos africanos, deram origem à Umbanda. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo, buscamos compreender como surge a Umbanda no Extremo Oeste Catarinense, mais especificamente na cidade de São Miguel do Oeste. O foco principal consistiu em visita a terreiros de Umbanda da cidade e através da conversação aberta (sem questionário formulado) conhecer a realidade que implica a prática da religião na cidade. Foram ouvidos 10(dez) médiuns e 5 (cinco) participantes de 1 (um) terreiro da cidade com o intuito de conhecermos como essas pessoas se tornaram médiuns e porque adotaram a Umbanda como religião. A Umbanda em São Miguel do Oeste tem início aproximadamente da década de 60. A urbanização da região trouxe consigo novos olhares em torno das práticas religiosas. A Umbanda surge na região por meio dos processos migratórios de ocupação regional. De acordo com a pesquisa, a data mais aproximativa da entrada da Umbanda em São Miguel do Oeste é de 1966.
Metais pesados nas águas da microbacia do Lajeado São José- Chapecó-SC Brasil e suas implicações na Saúde da população
Authors: Locatelli Odete Catarina
Published: December 2016

A problemática analisada nesta pesquisa é o uso e ocupação do solo da APA (Área de Proteção Ambiental) da Microbacia do Lajeado São José com o objetivo de investigar possíveis fontes poluidoras por dejetos de animais e resíduos industriais contaminantes da água que abastece a maior parte da cidade de Chapecó-SC. No período de 1998 a 2000 foram coletadas amostras de água do lajeado e principais afluentes, para análise química dos metais e de parâmetros de potabilidade. Os resultados mostram teores de metais pesados muitas vezes acima dos máximos permitidos pelo CONAMA – Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente e da OMS – Organização Mundial da Saúde, para águas destinadas ao abastecimento público. Constata-se elevado grau de contaminação orgânica, tanto na área agropecuária da margem direita (caso das amostras 4, 5, 15, e 8, por exemplo), como na urbano-industrial situada na Zona de Uso Especial (ZUE) na margem esquerda do Lajeado (p. ex. amostras 2 e 14). Estes índices de poluição comprometem a qualidade da água e conseqüentemente a qualidade de vida da população que se serve desta água.

Quando pensamento e emoção não concordam: uma análise teórica e clínica da Dissociação Razão- Emoção (DRE)
Authors: Figueiredo Ângela Leggerini de , Pizzinato Adolfo , Junior José Caetano Dell´Aglio , Argimon Irani Iracema de Lima
Published: December 2016

A Dissociação Razão-Emoção (DRE) é um fenômeno que desafia as noções proposicionais de crenças e ocorre quando uma dissociação aparece entre uma crença racional pessoal sobre certa proposição e o modo como a pessoa sente acerca da mesma proposição. Assim, uma pessoa mantém simultaneamente duas ideias em seu conhecimento consciente. Este ensaio versa a respeito deste inquietante fenômeno, discutindo-o sob diferentes modelos e paradigmas da ciência psicológica. Por fim, pretende-se exemplificar como este fenômeno se expressa clinicamente, bem como propor implicações práticas para o manejo dos pacientes que expressem este tipo de dissociação.
Políticas públicas de educação e as famílias agricultoras: uma questão cultural?
Authors: Tondin Celso Francisco , Seminotti Nedio
Published: December 2016

Por entender a importância da agricultura familiar para a economia nacional e para a preservação das culturas dos povos do campo, o Estado brasileiro tem trabalhado especialmente nos últimos anos pela permanência das famílias agricultoras em seu meio social e em sua atividade econômica, o que fica evidente na formulação de políticas públicas de diversos setores. Os movimentos sociais populares do campo têm apontado que a educação escolar tem importante contribuição para este fim, no entanto, uma análise das políticas de educação demonstra que historicamente a escola tem sido meramente adaptada às condições do campo, o que secundariza a escola do campo em relação à da cidade. Nossa afirmação parte da constatação de que os textos legais e as normativas das políticas públicas educacionais brasileiras preveem a obrigatoriedade do atendimento à realidade da população rural. Mais exatamente, a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDBEN), o Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE) e as “Diretrizes Operacionais para a Educação Básica nas Escolas do Campo”, tratam desta atenção. Esses documentos demonstram que é dever do Estado a oferta de um projeto adequado às necessidades educacionais dos sujeitos dos campos. A partir dos postulados da Educação do Campo reconhecemos a escola como espaço sociocultural e problematizamos a tendência de tomarmos a educação como estratégia de reprodução social e econômica e de que maneira, pela discussão da educação como questão cultural, podemos pensá-la enquanto dispositivo de produção de novas identidades e de um novo modelo de desenvolvimento agrário.

Published: December 2016

O objetivo deste ensaio temático é propor ao leitor uma reflexão acerca das escolhas que a pessoa comHIV/Aids possa ter em relação ao seu tratamento. Descreve as especificidades do tratamento e conceitua a adesão, aspectos bioéticos que envolvem este tema, bem como o papel do profissional da saúde neste cenário. A proposta é suscitar questionamentos sobre como é entendido a adesão no seu mais complexo conceito e se o indivíduo tem direito/possibilidade de escolha em relação ao tratamento. Com isso é fundamental que o profissional da área de saúde entenda como as pessoas desenvolvem habilidades e percepções para lidar com as demandas do ambiente, que afetam sua qualidade de vida ou levam ao adoecimento, para que assim seja possível respeitar o tempo que cada paciente tem para fazer a sua escolha pelo tratamento.
SOCIEDADE, NATUREZA E TEMPO: DISPUTA DE RACIONALIDADES
Authors: Amaral Felipe Bueno , Filho José Luiz Fernandes Cerveira
Published: December 2016

O presente artigo discorre sobre a visão herdada (ou, poderíamos dizer, construída) da sociedade contemporânea, que vê o ambiente natural como propriedade. No entanto, o estudo mostra que o processo para se chegar até essa visão passou do afastamento homem/natureza para um posterior domínio, uma sobreposição do homem ao ambiente natural, por vezes denominado no texto como “natureza”. O objetivo do texto é analisar de modo distanciado de um pano de fundo específico essa inter-relação, verificando e ressaltando a sua forma sem, no entanto, determinar de modo explícito as razões das quais decorrem os problemas ambientais advindos dela e sem ressaltar os impactos negativos, uma vez que o propósito é tão somente a análise da relação e não suas consequências. Percebeu-se, no decorrer do trabalho, que a relação de sobreposição advém de um processo histórico/cultural, que culmina nos atuais problemas ambientais. O estudo identifica a necessidade de ampliar as margens da visão epistêmica cartesiana (indivíduo/objeto conhecido) e enfatiza a necessidade de uma relação de compreensão e de diálogo para com o ambiente natural, devido à importância dele para todas as sociedades, inclusive a humana.

Published: December 2016

Este estudo teve por objetivo elaborar e orientar uma proposta de discussão crítica (pró-ativa), do cotidiano de um grupo de mulheres em um município no Sul do Brasil, utilizando-se da metodologia do Círculo de Cultura de Paulo Freire. A pesquisa em questão foi de caráter participante em consonância com a metodologia Freireana, que propõe a educação a partir do diálogo. Quanto aos sujeitos da pesquisa foram envolvidas 12 mulheres na faixa etária de 32 a 63 anos, em quatro oficinas com o uso da metodologia do Circulo de Cultura, cujo tema foi o corpo e o cuidado. A análise dos dados foi relacionada às etapas desenvolvidas com as mulheres no Círculo de Cultura e, neste contexto, buscou-se a presença de empoderamento advindo das reflexões sobre as questões trazidas durante o trabalho educativo realizado. Através do levantamento dos temas geradores, da codificação, descodificação e do desvelamento crítico, o grupo pode rever seus conceitos sobre os problemas diários tendo um olhar mais crítico e menos submisso. Em relação aos fatos, pode-se considerar que as oficinas trabalhadas promoveram sensibilização do empoderamento.
Construindo uma metodologia de pesquisa popular e feminista junto ao MMC em Santa Catarina
Authors: Muraca Mariateresa
Published: December 2016

A partir da análise de algumas dimensões do percurso de pesquisa que estou conduzindo desde 2012 junto ao Movimento de Mulheres Camponesas em Santa Catarina, pretendo dialogar com o debate internacional sobre a crise da concepção moderna de método científico e a busca por práticas metodológicas capazes de superar suas mortificadoras visões dualistas. Em particular, quero interrogar as implicações sobre as escolhas metodológicas do feminismo e da pedagogia popular enquanto opções teóricas, políticas e existenciais. Nesse sentido, através de um relato auto-etnográfico da metodologia de «convivência itinerante» adotada na investigação, quero apresentar a pesquisa como uma construção dialógica e intersubjetiva, em que a pesquisadora, ao pesquisar, pesquisa-se e é pesquisada e as participantes, ao serem pesquisadas, pesquisam e pesquisam-se.

A FORMAÇÃO DO PROFISSIONAL ENFERMEIRO, NO CONTEXTO DAS REFORMAS DE ENSINO, NO BRASIL
Authors: Oliveira Maria Cecília Marins de
Published: December 2016

O presente estudo procurou realizar a trajetória da educação do profissional enfermeiro, no período que compreendeu a inauguração da primeira escola de enfermagem, no Brasil, em 1890, até o final do século XX. O objetivo foi trazer à discussão a realidade da formação do enfermeiro, tendo por base as legislações regulamentadoras, bem como as Leis de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional, LDBEN, de 1968 e 1996, que determinaram os encaminhamentos e a institucionalização da profissão. Os aspectos sociais e econômicos foram relevantes, uma vez que caracterizaram momentos políticos que tiveram repercussão no andamento das políticas públicas do profissional de enfermagem. A metodologia contou com o levantamento de obras, buscando conhecer o pensamento e as reflexões dos autores, tendo por base as legislações para construir a trajetória desta formação à luz dos condicionantes legais. A abordagem teórica respaldou-se em autores, como Luiz Antônio da Cunha, Gaudêncio Frigotto, Telma Geovanini, Emerson Elias Merhy, entre outros, que abordam questões sobre a enfermagem e as políticas empreendidas pelos governos, tendo em vista a correlação entre as medidas higiênico/sanitárias e a criação e o desenvolvimento da formação do(a) enfermeiro(a), no Brasil. Observou-se as contradições sociais que permearam a realidade deste profissional e a relevância econômica determinante das políticas de reforma e desenvolvimento que caracterizaram o caráter racional e centralizador da gestão pública no regime militar, gerando a fragmentaridade desta categoria profissional. A LDBEN de 1996, todavia, trouxe à discussão a formação do enfermeiro, atendendo expectativas do neoliberalismo e da globalização do mercado.

Quatro olhares: análise de algumas contribuições teórico-metodológicas para a Sociologia da cultura e história social da arte no século XX
Authors: Souza Luiz Alberto
Published: December 2016

O estudo comparativo de alguns dos principais autores ligados à Sociologia da Cultura e à História Social da Arte aponta para a incrementação do debate no interior desses campos de pesquisa ao longo do século XX. Tal complexidade, por sua vez, expressou-se pela ampliação do universo documental, bem como pela introdução de novos temas, problemas e abordagens metodológicas em ambas as áreas do conhecimento. Este artigo apresenta e relaciona alguns pontos de vista em torno de duas importantes questões, tanto para historiadores da arte quanto para sociólogos da cultura: a discussão relativa à ideia de cultura e as diferentes compreensões acerca das relações entre formas estéticas e processos sociais. Para realizar essa discussão, analisa-se o uso das fontes, bem como os métodos empregados por quatro estudiosos identificados com tradições intelectuais mais ou menos diversas: Heinrich Wölfflin (1864-1945), Erwin Panofsky (1892-1968), Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975) e Timothy James Clark (1943).

The nexus between stock market development and economic growth
Authors: Tsaurai Kunofiwa
Published: December 2016

The study investigated the relationship between stock market development and economic growth in Belgium using ARDL approach with annual time series data from 1988 to 2012. Real GDP per capita was used as a proxy for economic growth and stock market capitalization as a ratio of GDP as an approximate measure of stock market development. The relationship between stock market development and economic growth falls into four categories which are (1) stock market-led economic growth, (2) economic growth-led stock market development, (3) feedback effect and (4) neutrality hypothesis where the relationship between the two variables does not exist. Despite the existence of these four views on the relationship between stock market and economic growth, it appears from the literature review done by the author that majority of the empirical evidence support the stock market-led economic growth view. The fact that the topic on the directional causality between stock market and economic growth is still inconclusive is the major motivating factor why the author chose to investigate the relationship between the two variables in Belgium. The study observed that there exist an insignificant long run causality running from stock market development towards economic growth in Belgium. This relationship was not detected in the short run. Moreover, the reverse causality from real GDP per capita to stock market capitalization both in the long and short run was not detected in Belgium. These results are at variance with the majority of the empirical findings reviewed earlier on. It could possibly be that certain conditions that are necessary to enable stock market to significantly positively influence economic growth were not in place in Belgium. Therefore, the study urges the Belgium authorities to put in place the right environment, policies and programmes that enable the stock market to play its role of stimulating economic growth.

Corporate governance has drawn attention of investors and government after the incidence of financial crisis world- wide since the late 90’s. Despite that reforms of corporate governance have been in place in Malaysia, voluntary disclosure of corporate governance has yet to proof its impact on the financial performance of the companies. This study examines the relationship between corporate governance attributes and firm financial performance in Malaysia. The relationship between board characteristics (board tenure, board size and CEO duality) were analyzed to investigate their correlation with firm financial performances. A total of 100 public listed companies were randomly selected from Bursa Malaysia for the year 2009 to 2013. Random effect panel data regression was obtained by using Stata. This study finds that board size, board tenure were significant to Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA). However, firm size has no significant relationship with firm financial performance. It is recommended that apart from including more variables as controlling effects on firm financial performance and examining few industries as sample, it is also good to examine the correlation between board characteristics and corporate governance variables (foreign listings, equity analysis, external auditors, leverage ratios, dividend policy, etc.) on one hand, and ownership structures on the other hand, that have significant impact on firm financial performance.
Does the regulation of the insurance industry have a pernicious effect on innovation by the sector in South Africa?
Authors: Sibindi Athenia Bongani , Zingwevu Elton
Published: December 2016

Financial regulation could be a double edged sword in that despite its major thrust being that to secure the financial sector and bring about financial stability; it might have the unintended consequence of stifling innovation by the sector. We investigate the nexus between financial regulation and innovation by specifically focusing on the insurance industry in South Africa. We demonstrate that there are plethora pieces of legislation that govern the insurance industry in South Africa. As such this has driven the cost of compliance to unsustainable levels thereby curtailing the spending by companies on innovation. We thus would like to caution the policy makers’ that this “heavy-touch” regulatory mode is having a pernicious effect on research and development by the insurance sector. As such we encourage them to embrace the “light-touch” regulatory mode whereby self-regulation and moral suasion are other avenues to be considered.

Published: December 2016

Using research grants administrators and their clients (academic researchers) as the lens, this paper investigated the relevance and implication of a fraud prevention policy at a University of Technology (UoT) in South Africa. The paper adopted a quantitative approach in which closed-ended questions were complemented by open-ended questions in the survey questionnaire in the attempt to capture the perceptions of both research grants administrators and their clients on the relevance and implications of a fraud and irregularity prevention policy. The results indicate that both research grants administrators (71.4 %), and their clients (73%) do not know if UoTx has a fraud and irregularity policy. While only 36% of research grants administrators indicated that they would feel safe reporting deceitful activities, a slight majority (59%) of the clients reported same. With regards to the steps to follow to report fraudulent activity, it was noted that while all (100%) the research grants administrators noted that they were clueless, ironically an overwhelming majority of their clients indicated otherwise. Notwithstanding, both research grants administrators and their clients (93% and 95% respectively) concurred that a fraud prevention policy was necessary for UoTx. The implication is that having phenomenal controls that are not effectively publicized, monitored or worse still overridden by someone are useless.

Authors: Mongale Itumeleng Pleasure , Monkwe Kgomotso
Published: December 2016

The key to a brighter future for South Africa is a sustained growth which requires an on-going improvement in the supply side of the economy. The purpose of this paper is to identify the set of variables that may potentially act as determinants of growth in the South African economy with the application of the cointegrated vector autoregressive approach. Impulse Response Function is also used to explain the response to shock amongst the variables. The results indicate that the underlying variables of our model; real GDP, export, import and infrastructure investment are cointegrated. The estimates indicate that all the variables influence growth, albeit positive or negative effects. These results provide some indication to the policy makers on which variables to focus on in order to stimulate economic growth in South Africa. The study will contribute to a body of knowledge about the growth suggestions and recommendations that can redesign the growth promotion programs
Intermediacy between political control and institutional autonomy: A transformative approach
Authors: Dorasamy Nirmala , Mabila Ndiphethe Olive
Published: December 2016

The public sector is about providing services, managing resources efficiently and securing a return on investment. Producing results and managing performance depends on adaptation, flexibility and creativity. While one may argue for greater control to achieve performance indicators, this has to be underpinned by managerial control systems both internally and externally. Post NPM reforms have tried to respond to the problem of single purpose organisations that have distanced political control. While post NPM reforms tipped the scale toward more political control, it did not restore the balance between control and autonomy. In view of the NPM and post NPM reforms and the accompanying challenges, the paper argues that it is not possible to device a “one size fits all” response to these challenges. In trying to analyse the dilemma of balancing political control and institutional autonomy an institutional theoretical perspective is used by analysing structural and instrumental features (national political environment), cultural features (historical administrative traditions) and external constraints (technical and institutional environments). It needs to be recognised that the aforementioned features have constraints. The structural and instrumental features specify the formal constraints on leaderships decisions. These constraints may give political leaders strong hierarchical control or may not give them much direction, but a lot of potential discretionary influence. The cultural features specify that public organisations develop informal norms and values which lead to a distinct institutional culture. While these informal norms and values are infused in formal structures and decision making, it may be inconsistent with the sub-culture, thereby giving it less systemic influence. The technical and institutional environment which focuses on efficiency production and internal culture may develop beliefs over time that cannot be ignored. Christensen (2008:13) refers to this as the There Is No Alternative principle which has a deterministic potential. While recognising these constraints, the adoption of an institutional perspective provides a more holistic approach to creating synergy between the political and bureaucratic environments.

Authors: Ramudzuli Pfano Michael , Muzindutsi Paul-Francois
Published: December 2016

This study used a self-administered questionnaire to determine the effect of financial knowledge and other demographic variables on Financial Risk Tolerance (FRT) among South African University students. Descriptive statistics and a binary logistic regression model were used to analyse information from 330 participants selected from a South African University in the Gauteng province. The results indicated that the probability of being risk tolerant was high among students with financial knowledge compared to those without financial knowledge. Among demographic variables, monthly expenditure and religion were found to have a significant effect on Financial Risk Tolerance. The results of the study thus draw attention to a number of factors that can help investment managers in finding suitable financial products for their clientele
Risk factors for failure in newly established small, micro and medium-sized enterprises in the tourism sector of Gauteng Province, South Africa
Authors: Worku Zeleke
Published: December 2016

The annual report issued for the financial year 2013/2014 by the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (2015) shows that the business confidence index of South Africa was equal to 89.3% in January 2015. According to the South African National Department of Tourism (2015), the tourism sector contributed 93 Billion Rand (3%) to the South African GDP in the year 2012. The contribution of the tourism sector was equal to 189.4 Billion Rand in the year 2009. This figure is projected to grow to 499 Billion Rand by the year 2020. According to the South African Small Enterprise Development Agency (2015), newly established and emerging business enterprises conducting business in the tourism sector of Gauteng Province are less viable and efficient in comparison with well-established tourism enterprises. The objective of this study was to identify and quantify risk factors for underperformance and bankruptcy in the tourism sector of Gauteng Province in South Africa. The study was based on data collected from a stratified random sample of size 311 tourism enterprises that operate in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Data was collected on a large number of socio-economic factors that adversely affect entrepreneurial activities in the tourism sector of Gauteng Province. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and analyses was used in the study. Examples of variables on which data was gathered was level of entrepreneurial skills, level of formal education, location of business, duration of experience, amount of capital, number of employees, ability to network with other tourist operators, degree of competition from rival operators, geographical location, category of business, category of entrepreneurial skills, average number of visitors per month, net profit, size of business, market share, access to finance, and degree of support from Government agencies. Results obtained from the study showed that the long-term survival and viability of African entrepreneurs in the tourism industry of Gauteng Province was significantly and adversely affected by the degree of competition from rival operators, poor networking ability, lack of entrepreneurial skills, low capital, and geographical location. The study found that African entrepreneurs in the tourism industry of Gauteng Province lagged behind their white counterparts significantly in terms of networking ability, capital and entrepreneurial skills. In addition, 82% of the 311 African entrepreneurs who participated in the study lacked suitable skills due to their poor and irrelevant academic and vocational background, and that 59% of entrepreneurs had received little or no assistance in terms of mentoring or training opportunities from South African Government agencies.
The role of management accounting in fraud control: The case of the City of Joondalup
Authors: Oommen Roney , Buys Pieter
Published: December 2016

The 2014 ‘Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse’ released by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that the potential projected losses from occupational fraud globally could run as high as US$3.7 trillion every year. In Australia, several studies have found that the Australian public sector entities are also significantly exposed to fraud. This article considers the case of the Australian City of Joondalup and asks whether its management accounting function can provide city management with the necessary data to enable effective control over occupational fraud and whether fraud control activities specifically directed towards fraud control can be a regular feature thereof. It is concluded that although aspects of fraud control are encompassed within the broader strategies of the City, it can significantly enhance its ability to control occupational fraud by leveraging its regular management reporting and analysis function.

Authors: Mirbagherijam Mohammad , Tash Mohammad Nabi Shahiki , Zamanian Gholamreza , Safari Amir
Published: December 2016

In this paper, the underwriting risks of the insurance industry of Iran were aggregated using various vine copula classes and historical data of loss ratios which corresponds to each business line. The estimated economic capital (EC) for the entire insurance industry considerably varies across different risk measures and vine copula models. In addition, less than the risk-based capital (RBC) charge assessed based on the standard model of RN69 and amounted to 96,943,391 million of Iran Rials. Therefore, it was concluded that using the Vine copula method and allowing symmetry and tail dependence for pairs of business lines’ risks in the risk aggregation process leads to overestimation of the RBC risk charge, as compared to the estimated results of simple and linear aggregation methods of such standard model. Furthermore, the choice of dependency structure and risk measures have a paramount effect on the aggregate economic capital. Highlights: Estimated aggregated economic capital varies across different risk measures and vine copula models; Selecting the appropriate copula model is an important consideration in risk aggregation process; Using the Vine copula method in the risk aggregation leads to overestimation of the RBC risk charge; The estimated economic capital is less than RBC risk charge calculated under standard model of RN69.
