CHARACTERISTICS AND STRATEGIES OF A CONSISTENTLY PROFITABLE PROPRIETORY DAY TRADER AT BURSA MALAYSIA
Authors: SONG SAW-IMM , CHU EI-YET , Lai Tian So
Published: November 2019

Proprietary day trading is relatively new in Malaysia. This study looks into the background characteristics, strategies, behaviour of an above average proprietary trader and factors that determined her success. Recent literature in the developed markets found that the majority of the day traders failed in the first year of trading. Few studies have looked into the winning characteristics and strategies of the traders. Contrary to the findings on failed traders, who traded actively, speculatively, and to their detriment, this case study found that a successful trader on the other hand is highly attentive and disciplined. On average the trader had executed approximately 20 counters per day for  about 100 transactions. More than 50% of the roundtrips transactions were completed within half an hour and 70% were completed within 2 hours.  The trader was most active in the morning for buy transactions and the majority of the roundtrips were completed in the afternoon. The trader usually holds large positions only for shorter periods to minimise huge losses and disposition effect.  It was evident that the trader employs scalping strategies that she profits from very short run and small movement of prices rather than employing fundamental analysis which requires longer term investment horizon. If the trader made profits in the morning, the likelihood is the trader will be more aggressive in the afternoon trades. The regression results reveal that factors that significantly explained the profitability of the trader were the transaction values and the time entering the trades. Market sentiment and duration of holding time do not significantly explain the profitability made by the trader. It shows that in a bullish market, the trader tended to trade more transactions; however that does not contribute significantly to the profits made.

Authors: Ismail Suhaiza , Yuhanis Nursia
Published: November 2019

The study aims to examine the ethical work climate types of the National Audit Department (NAD) offices in Malaysia as perceived by the public sector auditors. The respondents of the study were public sector auditors in the NAD offices from both federal and state levels. Using a survey questionnaire comprising instrument about the ethical climate by Victor and Cullen (1988), a total of 382 responses was received and usable. In order to achieve the research objective, descriptive statistics of mean score and standard deviation were used. The results reveal that the highest mean score is ‘rules’ climate, indicating that the public sector auditors perceived this rules ethical climate to be highly present in their organizations. This is followed by ‘instrumental’ and ‘caring’ ethical climate types. In contrast, law ethical climate type was perceived as almost non-exist in the NAD offices. This study provides useful information on the types of ethical climate types that exist in the offices of the National Audit Department (NAD) as perceived by the public sector auditors which may to some extent help to inculcate the right ethical climate in order improve the level of ethics among public sector auditors which will subsequently enhance the credibility of the NAD and public trust in the government.

Published: November 2019

Por tradición la atención primaria en salud se ha enfocado en educación y en campañas de salud, como una parte de la estrategia para abordar las enfermedades de interés en salud pública1.  Como muchos de estos problemas aún permanecen en la agenda de salud pública, es apremiante revisar el concepto de la atención primaria en salud. En el pasado el control de las enfermedades inmunoprevenibles fue su mayor éxito2, 3. Para el futuro es necesario considerar la atención primaria en salud como una estrategia de alto impacto y dejarla de ver como una serie de actividades de bajo costo, circunscrita a los servicios brindados por promotores y voluntarios, con tecnologías de baja complejidad para atender a la población pobre.

Published: November 2019

Objectives: To present descriptive epidemiology of Orofacial Clefts and to determine the association of syndromic forms with antenatal high-risk conditions, preterm birth, and comorbidities among nested-series of cases.Methods: A study of nested-series of cases was conducted. Frequencies of cleft type, associated congenital anomalies, syndromic, non-syndromic and multiple malformation forms, and distribution of Orofacial Clefts according to sex and affected-side were determined. Odds ratios were calculated as measures of association between syndromic forms and antenatal high-risk conditions, preterm birth and comorbidities. A total of three hundred and eleven patients with Orofacial Clefts were assessed in a 12-month period.Results: The most frequent type of Orofacial Clefts was cleft lip and palate, this type of cleft was more frequent in males, whereas cleft palate occurred more often in females. The most common cases occurred as non-syndromic forms. Aarskog-Scott syndrome showed the highest frequency amongst syndromic forms. Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, developmental dysplasia of the hip, central nervous diseases and respiratory failure showed significant statistical associations (p <0.05) with syndromic forms.Conclusions: These data provide an epidemiological reference of Orofacial Clefts in Colombia. Novel associations between syndromic forms and clinical variables are determined. In order to investigate causality relationships between these variables further studies must be carried out.

Published: November 2019

Introduction:Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen that causes food poisoning as well as hospital and community acquired infections.Objective:Establish the profile of superantigen genes among hospital isolates in relation to clinical specimen type, susceptibility to antibiotics and hospital or community acquisition.Methods:Eighty one isolates obtained from patients at Colombian hospital, were classified by antimicrobial susceptibility, specimen type and hospital or community acquired . The PCR uniplex and multiplex was used for detection of 22 superantigen genes (18 enterotoxins, tsst-1 and three exfoliative toxins).Results:Ninety five point one percent of isolates harbored one or more of the genes with an average of 5.6 genes. Prevalence of individual genes was variable and the most prevalent was seg (51.9%). 39 genotypes were obtained, and the genotype gimnou (complete egc cluster) was the most prevalent alone (16.0%) and in association with other genes (13.6%). The correlation between presence of superantigens and clinical specimen or antimicrobial susceptibility showed no significant difference. But there was significant difference between presence of superantigens and the origin of the isolates, hospital or community acquired (p= 0.049).Conclusions:The results show the variability of the superantigen genes profile in hospital isolates and shows no conclusive relationship with the clinical sample type and antimicrobial susceptibility, but there was correlation with community and hospital isolates. The analysis of the interplay between virulence, epidemic and antibiotic resistance of bacterial populations is needed to predict the future of infectious diseases.

Introduction:Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease affecting mainly to low income human population. Acute leptospiral infection during pregnancy has been associated with spontaneous abortion and fetal death during the first trimester and the abortion may occur as consequence of systemic failure.Objective:To estimate the frequency of Leptospira interrogans infection in women with spontaneous abortion in the state of Yucatan, Mexico.Methods:A cross sectional study on women with spontaneous abortion was conducted. Serum samples were tested for Leptospirosis by the microaglutination test, to estimate the frequency of the infecting serovar. The indirect ELISA IgM was used to detect recent infection by L. interrogans. DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue of placenta for PCR detection of L. interrogans.Results:Overall frequency of infection with L. interrogans in the 81 women with abortion was 13.6%. Five of the 12 serovars evaluated were found and included. Two of the 11 women with abortion and positive to microaglutination test were also positive to the ELISA IgM test. None samples were positive for PCR Leptospira diagnosis.Conclusion:two women could be associated with spontaneous abortion due to leptospirosis, because they showed antibodies against L. interrogans in the microaglutination test and ELISA IgM assays. Differences between regions were found with respect to the prevalences of lesptospirosis.
Photoinduced Proton Transfer Reactions for Mild O-H Functionalization Reactions of Unreactive Alcohols
Authors: Jana Sripati , Yang Zhen , Li Fang , Empel Claire , Ho Junming , Koenigs Rene
Published: November 2019

Hexafluoroisopropanol is typically considered as an unreactive solvent and not as a reagent in organic synthesis. Herein, we report on a mild and efficient photochemical reaction of aryl diazoacetates with hexafluoroisopropanol that enables, under stoichiometric reaction conditions, the synthesis of fluorinated ethers in excellent yield. We support these findings with mechanistic studies, which indicate a preorganization of hexafluoroisopropanol and the diazoalkane as an unreactive Lewis Acid-Base adduct. Only upon photoexcitation, this adduct undergoes a protonation-substitution reaction to the reaction product. We conclude with investigations on the applicability of this photochemical transformation and could show that a broad variety of acidic alcohols can be subjected to this transformation and thus demonstrate the feasibility of this concept in O-H functionalization reactions (52 examples, up to 98% yield).
Can Metal Organic Frameworks Outperform Adsorptive Removal of Harmful Phenolic Compound 2-Chlorophenol by Activated Carbon?
Authors: Hakim Mohd Azmi Luqman , Williams Daryl R. , Ladewig Bradley P.
Published: November 2019

Abstract: Removal of persistent organic compounds from aqueous solutions is generally achieved using adsorbent like activated carbon (AC) but it suffers from limited adsorption capacity due to low surface area. This paper describes a pioneering work on the adsorption of an organic pollutant, 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) by two MOFs with high surface area and water stability; MIL-101 and its amino-derivative, MIL-101-NH2. Although MOFs have higher surface area than AC, the latter was proven better having the highest equilibrium 2-CP uptake (345 mg.g-1), followed by MIL-101 (121 mg.g-1) and MIL-101-NH2 (84 mg.g-1). Used MIL-101 could be easily regenerated multiple times by washing with ethanol and even showed improved adsorption capacity after each washing cycle. These results can open the doors to meticulous adsorbent selection for treating 2-CP-contaminated water
Reversible Oxidative-Addition and Reductive-Elimination of Thiophene from a Titanium Complex and Its Thermally-Induced Hydrodesulfurization Chemistry

Published: November 2019

The masked Ti(II) synthon (Ketguan)(η6-ImDippN)Ti (1) oxidatively adds across thiophene to give ring-opened (Ketguan)(ImDippN)Ti[κ2-S(CH)3CH] (2). Complex 2 is photosensitive, and upon exposure to light, reductively eliminates thiophene to regenerate 1 – a rare example of early-metal mediated oxidative-addition/reductive-elimination chemistry. DFT calculations indicate strong titanium π-backdonation to the thiophene π*-orbitals leads to the observed thiophene ring opening across titanium, while a proposed photoinduced LMCT promotes the reverse thiophene elimination from 2. Finally, pressurizing solutions of 2 with H2 (150 psi) at 80 °C leads to the hydrodesulfurization of thiophene to give the Ti(IV) sulfide (Ketguan)(ImDippN)Ti(S) (3) and butane.

Two electron-reduction of the Ti(IV) guanidinate complex (ImDippN)(Xyketguan)TiCl2 gives (η6-ImDippN)(xyketguan)Ti (1intra) and (ImDippN)(Xyketguan)Ti(η6-C6H6) (1inter) (xyketguan = [(tBuC=N)C(NXylyl)2]-, Xylyl = 2,5-dimethylphenyl) in the absence or presence of benzene, respectively. These complexes have been found to hydrogenate monocyclic and polycyclic arenes under relatively mild conditions (150 psi, 80 °C) – the first example of catalytic, homogeneous arene hydrogenation with TON > 1 by a Group IV system.
The Role of H-bonding in Phase Change Materials
Authors: Matuszek Karolina , Vijayaraghavan R. , Kar Mega , Macfarlane Douglas
Published: November 2019

Phase change materials (PCMs) which melt in the temperature range of 100-230 °C, are a promising alternative for the storage of thermal energy. In this range, large amounts of energy available from solar-thermal, or other forms of renewable heat, can be stored and applied to domestic or industrial processes, or to an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) engine to generate electricity. The amount of energy absorbed is related to the latent heat of fusion (ΔHf) and is often connected to the extent of hydrogen bonding in the PCM. Herein, we report fundamental studies, including crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis, of a family of guanidinium organic salts that exhibit high values of ΔHf, demonstrating that the presence and strength of H-bonds between ions plays a key role in this property.
Functional Ionic Porous Frameworks Based on Triaminoguanidinium for CO2 Conversion and Combating Microbes

Published: November 2019

Porous organic frameworks (POFs) with heteroatom rich ionic backbone have emerged as advanced materials for catalysis, charge-specific molecular separation and antibacterial activity. The loading of metal ions further enhances Lewis acidity augmenting the activity associated with the frameworks. Metal-loaded ionic POFs however often suffer from physicochemical instability, limiting their scope for diverse applications. Herein, we report the fabrication of triaminoguanidinium-based ionic POFs through Schiff base condensation in a cost-effective and scalable manner. The resultant N-rich ionic frameworks facilitate selective CO2 uptake and provide high metal (ZnO, 57.3 ± 1.2%) loading capacity. The hierarchically mesoporous ZnO-rich metalated frameworks (Zn/POFs) show remarkable catalytic activity in the cycloaddition of CO2 and epoxides into cyclic organic carbonates under solvent-free condition with high catalyst recyclability. In addition, both ionic POFs and Zn/POFs exhibit robust antibacterial (Gram-positive, S. aureus and Gram-negative, E. coli) and antiviral activity targeting HIV and VSV-G enveloped lentiviral particles. The enhanced catalytic, as well as broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, are likely due to the synergistic effect of triaminoguanidinium ions and ZnO infused with the frameworks. We thus establish triaminoguanidinium-based POFs and Zn/POFs as a new class of multifunctional materials for environmental remediation and biomedical applications.
Steady-State Kinetics of the Autocatalytic Zymogen Activation: A Comparison with the Michaelis-Menten Reaction Mechanism
Authors: Tyczynska Malgorzata , Eilertsen Justin , Schnell Santiago
Published: November 2019

A zymogen is an inactive precursor of an enzyme, which needs to go through a chemical change to become an active enzyme. The general intermolecular mechanism for the autocatalytic activation of zymogens is governed by the single-enzyme, single-substrate catalyzed reaction following the Michaelis-Menten mechanism of enzyme action, where the substrate is the zymogen and product is the same enzyme catalyzing the reaction. In this article we investigate the nonlinear chemical dynamics of the intermolecular autocatalytic zymogen activation reaction mechanism, and compare it to that of the Michaelis-Menten reaction mechanism. We show that the intermolecular autocatalytic zymogen activation exhibits significant changes in reaction dynamics relative to the Michaelis-Menten reaction mechanism. These changes include differences in the number of conservation laws, number and stability of equilibrium states, altered structure of the invariant set that influences the long-time rate of the reaction, and qualitative evolution of the reaction depending strictly on the choice of initial conditions. We find a rate law, homologous to the Michaelis-Menten equation, to estimate the kinetic parameters of the intermolecular autocatalytic zymogen activation reaction mechanism, and derive the conditions for the validity for this rate law. Finally, we derive analytical expressions to estimate the timescale for the completion of the zymogen activation, which could have a practical application to calculate the molar enthalpy of the autocatalytic zymogen reaction in calorimetry assays.

Comparison of an analytical and computational fluid-dynamics models of a commercial Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube operating with Air and Methane
Authors: Ahumada Luz Marlen , Bula Silvera Antonio José , Melendez Valencia Kevin Andres , Medina Suarez Julio
Published: November 2019

This paper presents a comparison between the behavior predicted by a computational fluid-dynamic model (CFD) and an analytical model for a commercial vortex tube using air and methane as working fluids, in addition to a three-dimensional mesh for this purpose. The numerical simulation of the turbulent, compressible and high vorticity flow was carried out using RANS equations, the Realizable k-e turbulence model and STAR-CCM+ as software for the equations solution. The variables measured in this work were temperature, pressure and velocity at the exit nozzles of the vortex generator and the tube discharges, resulting in errors of less than 16% between CFD and the analytical model. This numerical study represents a first approximation of the vorticityphenomenon and has been developed in order to establish a prototype simulation model that provides, under certain inlet conditions to the process, preliminary information on the vortex tube industrial implementation for obtaining liquefied natural gas.
Assessment of causes of overpressure different from sub-compaction: Application in unconventional reservoir
Authors: Vargas-Silva Diego Armando , Gambús-Ordaz Maika , Calderón-Carrillo Zuly
Published: November 2019

The necessity for hydrocarbon-producing countries to increase their reserves has led to companies exploring the deposits available in source rocks that might be over-pressured and thus, strict rules are required for their development. Overpressure, which may result in wellbore stability problems, could result from several causes such as mechanical effects, dynamic transfer, chemical stress, thermal stress, among others, in which undercompaction is frequently the main cause, generated when the sediment deposition velocity exceeds the fluid ejection rate.The expansion of fluids generated by thermal stresses and the reduction of porosity caused by chemical stresses may be among the other causes of overpressure in shales.

The new methodology presented in this paper makes it possible to determine the pressure due to thermal stresses caused by the cracking of kerogen and oil in shales. In addition, petrophysical and geochemical models are considered in order to precisely ascertain the increase in pore pressure due to temperature andfluid expansion. An increase of 20% in pressure is seen when compared with undercompaction. As a result of this methodology, the mud window was optimized and the hydrocarbons, generated under subsurface the conditions (pressure, temperature) analyzed, were quantified.
Reviewing Mack's Re-Visioning
Authors: Parrish John W
Published: November 2019

Because Axis Mundi has, to date, dedicated itself solely to publishing articles and not review essays, the publication of the following papers marks Axis Mundi’s review publishing “debut.” This “review symposium” on Burton L. Mack’s A Myth of Innocence is therefore something of a milestone for the journal. It is also an exciting occasion for scholars such as myself, whose research interests primarily revolve around the field of Christian origins, because the publication of this book in 1988 was a milestone in the establishment of our field. In a time when most students of early Christianity were occupied with hermeneutical studies of the New Testament, trying to decipher the texts and make them relevant for contemporary theological insight, Mack was a pioneer, treating the texts not as material for exegesis but as “artifacts” from prior communities engaged in social formation and rhetorical representation. Mack viewed these textual representations as “identity markers” by which groups of early Christians defined themselves in the hectic social economies of the Hellenistic world. In this way, he helped establish a distinctly North American style of biblical studies, which many now designate as the study of "Christian origins,” in contradistinction to the more traditional field of “New Testament studies.”

Pemerintah Indonesia telah menjalankan hukuman mati pada enam terpidana terorisme mulai dari pembajakan pesawat Garuda Woyla oleh jaringan Komando Jihad hingga trio terpidana mati kasus Bom Bali 1. Saat ini pemerintah menetapkan Aman Abdurrahman dalam masa tunggu sebelum proses eksekusi mati dilaksanakan. Kebijakan ini selain mendatangkan berbagai perdebatan sayangnya juga belum melibatkan kajian stratejik dan analisis dampak. Tujuan penelitian ini yang telah dirumuskan dalam rumusan masalah ialah untuk membahas perspektif stratejik dan hak asasi manusia dalam penjatuhan hukuman mati terpidana terorisme di Indonesia dan pertimbangan pengambilan keputusan penjatuhan hukuman mati berdasarkan dua perspektif tersebut termasuk potensi tantangan yang ditimbulkan. Metode yang penulis gunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi kepustakaan kritis dengan pendekatan multidisipliner. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah terdapat potensi retaliasi sebagai tantangan stratejik pada kebijakan hukuman mati terpidana terorisme, sekalipun potensi ancaman stratejik dan pemenuhan hak asasi manusia akan tetap ada sekalipun kebijakan hukuman mati tidak dijatuhkan. Oleh sebab itu hasil penelitian ini memberi masukan agar dilakukan  pertimbangan yang komprehensif perlu dilakukan sebelum eksekusi mati terpidana terorisme dilaksanakan mengingat potensi ancaman yang akan terus ada terlepas dari kebijakan hukuman mati ataupun tidak menjatuhkan hukuman mati
THE EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE COST OF DAIRY FARMS IN TURKEY; CASE STUDY OF THRACE REGION
Authors: Koç Gökçe , Uzmay Ayse
Published: November 2019

In Turkey, studies investigating the economic effects of climate change on agriculture are limited and there is little or no research that focuses on livestock production as regards changes in climate. In this context, the main objective of this research is to analyze the impacts of climate change on dairy cattle farms in terms of costs, according to different future scenarios and farms scales. Interviews were conducted with 140 dairy farmers in Thrace Region. To analyze the change in costs, the model developed by Calil et al. (2012) was used. According to the results of cost analysis, it was determined that climate change will lead to a 10-50% cost increase on dairy farms by the year 2044. The heat stress is responsible for 48-71% of the increase in the cost of production, where 24-52% is due to an increase in feed prices. Based on the outcome of this research, it was suggested that agricultural extension activities should be carried out in order for farms to get adapted to climate change. Agricultural supports and investment projects should be related to climate change.

The aim of this research paper is to assess the technical efficiency (TE) of milk production in Kosovo using the stochastic frontier analysis. Research data are collected through surveys from 100 commercially oriented dairy farmers. The study finds that TE of milk production by most of these farms is high. Using the Cobb-Douglas production function, individual measures of TE range from 0.87 to 0.98 (on a scale of 0 to 1.00) with the average being 0.95. There were 57 farms with TE greater than 0.95 and 35 farms with TE less than 0.95. In the study’s sample, female dairy farmers have roughly the same mean TE of 0.95 as male dairy farmers. The variation in milk production among the sampled farms was modeled in terms of concentrate and forage feed costs and pre-production costs. The study suggests that concentrate feed and pre-production costs can significantly influence TE of milk production among Kosovar dairy farms.
Teleologia ed escatologia nei Beiträge zur Philosophie di Heidegger
Authors: Osti Andrea
Published: November 2019

This paper examines Heidegger’s Beiträge zur Philosophie with the aim of shedding light on its messianic-eschatological approach. Firstly, I take into account the formal structure of history through a reference to Aristotle’s grasp of κίνησις and its principles. I then try to connect this structure to the complex epochal movement of Universal History, as it emerges from Heidegger’s works in the ‘30s. Lastly, I deal with the concept of the last-God’s realm in order to stress the messianic dimension of Heidegger’s projects for the new humankind known as the Futurians.
Das kalabrische Erdbeben von 1783 als «spettacolo delle rivoluzioni» Francesco Saverio SalfisSaggio di fenomeni antropologici relativi al tremuoto
Authors: Winkler Daniel
Published: November 2019

This contribution will focus on Francesco Saverio Salfi’s treatiseEssay on Anthropological Phenomena in Relation to the Earthquake(1787). In his text, Salfi focuses on analysing the rise of superstition and bigotry in Calabria after the Earthquake of 1783, but also develops anthropological and philosophical considerations on the phenomenon of the earthquake. His metaphorically dense text revolves around the semantic fields of trembling and disaster, revolution and spectacle. Through intertextual, especially theatrical techniques, this article will argue the text to become an emblem for the necessity of a ‘revolutionary’ change in respect to the affective, social, and ethic Status Quo in Calabria and beyond.
