APLIKASI MATEMATIKA NUMERIK UNTUK MENGHITUNG INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN DAN YIELD TO MATURITY OBLIGASI
Authors: Herlambang Yudha
Published: February 2017

This paper will present the application of numerical mathematic and discuss the alternative method to calculate and solve the problem about the value of Internal Rate Return  (IRR) and desired returned rate by obligation investor. As we know there are several methods to solve the calculation about IRR ,such as Interpolation Method by using the financial table and  Trial and Error Method by using IRR Function in Excel Software; but the most popular is Newton Raphson Method. In this method, the numerical case must be transferred into the NPV equation or obligation equation, and be created to  the polynomial equation in term of f(x) until the error is minimum. This method gives the same result if it is compared with several methods mentioned above for the same case. There is only approximation of 4 digits in decimals for the result. By using this method, there are still any differences of calculation result, but it’s not significant. This numerical approach can be implemented to solve the value of desired interest rate from the obligation by using the same calculation step and algorithm.

Indonesian manpower (IM) is a term used to refer to the Indonesian migrants who work overseas. Although the exact number of the IM is not well recorded by the government of the Republic of Indonesia, the amount of the remittance the IM send home to their family is found to be quite significant. In 2005, the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia declared that the amount of the IM’s remittance reached US$ 2.9 billion, which was much higher than the government’s expected amount (US$ 1.9 billion). This study found out that (1) the IM’s remittance affected the amount of the money spreading in the home district where the IM came from so that it enhanced the purchasing power of the people in the district towards the consumptive goods and services which, in turn, triggered the elevation of the prices of goods and services; (2) the IM’s remittance stimulated the traders or merchants to determine the goods and services pricing which was commonly called the expected inflation; (3) most of the remittance was spent for consumptive goods and services and only a little amount of it was spent for investment; and (4) the IM’s remittance was a factor that positively affected the increase of the human development index (HDI) in the IM’s home district. To effectively increase the effect of the remittance towards the HDI in the IW’s home district, a governmental policy that was oriented towards the development of the IM’s family potentials and attempted to change people’s behavior

This research usesamples in the form of company allocating dividend for period 2006-2007 which listed on Jakarta Islamic Index. Final samples which are utilized in this research are equal to 12 firms observation. Using the event-study method, the result of our research shows that at the significant level of 5%, there is only one working days which yield the abnormal return that is significant at the dividend announcements. Those are the sixth day before the event date with the value of 0.00889 or around 0.9%. The final conclusion is that stock price will negatively reacted to the announcement of dividend. Overall, the evidence tends to support the dividend irrelevancy hypothesis, but does not provide a support for the signaling theory. Evidence also indicates that dividend payment does not signal any information to the investors, which needs to be further investigated.

Authors: Wang Fei , Yang Hua , Zhang Yunchuan , Li Ruishan
Published: February 2017

CuBi2O4 nanoparticles were prepared via a polyacrylamide gel route. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy observation shows that the particles are shaped like spheres and have an average particle size of ∼230 nm. Ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy reveals that the particles have a bandgap energy of 1.88 eV. The electrochemical performance of the sample was investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 2 M KOH, 6 M KOH, and 2 M NaOH electrolytes at different temperatures. It is demonstrated that the temperature has an important effect on the electrochemical performance of the sample, and relatively higher specific capacitance is observed at 45 °C, reaching 1 458 F g−1 in 2 M KOH electrolyte at a current density of 2 A g−1. In addition, the sample exhibits an increased capacitance in a higher-concentration electrolyte, but its charge–discharge cycling stability is decreased. Moreover, it is found that the sample exhibits relatively larger specific capacitance in KOH electrolyte than in NaOH electrolyte.
Investigation of the influence of Fe on the microstructure and properties of Ti5553 near-β titanium alloy with combinatorial approach
Authors: Wu Di , Zhang Ligang , Liu Libin , Shi Xi , Huang Shuaixiong , Jiang Yun
Published: February 2017

A combinatorial approach has been applied to build the database of composition dependent microstructure and hardness of the Ti5553–Fe system. The relationship between the composition and microstructure as well as the hardness was obtained. (Ti5553)96-Fe4 was found to have almost the same hardness as that of Ti5553, but a relatively coarser intragranular α phase. High-angle annular dark field imaging revealed that Fe mainly concentrated in the β phase, which strengthened the β phase through solution strengthening. This means that (Ti5553)96-Fe4 may have the same strength as that of Ti5553 but higher fracture toughness. The formation of FeCr compound consumed the β stabilizer elements Fe and Cr, which led to unusual increasing of the nucleation rate and the volume fraction of α phase in (Ti5553)88-Fe12.
Characterizing Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Consumers Most Influenced by California’s Electric Vehicle Rebate
Authors: Johnson Clair , Williams Brett
Published: February 2017

California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) provides cash rebates to make plug-in and fuel-cell electric vehicle purchases and leases more financially attractive. Self-reported evidence provided by CVRP participants provides a unique opportunity to examine the influence of the incentive from the consumer perspective. With evidence from a voluntary survey offered to all individual CVRP participants, this inquiry used logistic regression to examine the relationship between consumer factors and the influence of CVRP on consumers’ acquisition decisions. In other words, would they have purchased their vehicle without the rebate? This initial analysis examined a set of consumers who adopted plug-in hybrid electric vehicles between fall 2012 and spring 2015 ( n = 7,345). Factors considered for inclusion encompassed transaction, household, and demographic characteristics, motivations for adopting plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and measures of experience with plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). Findings indicated, as expected, that several characteristics and experiences are associated with a greater likelihood that a consumer would consider the rebate essential. These characteristics and experiences include having lower household income, being younger, adopting less-expensive vehicles, being more motivated to adopt a PEV by a desire to save money, being less motivated to adopt a PEV by a desire to reduce environmental impact, and reporting a lower initial interest level in adopting a PEV. Less straightforward, but informative, results included a positive association between rebate influence and identification with a nonwhite ethnicity or as male. Additionally, the lack of significance of some predictors was unexpected; in particular, no housing characteristics were associated with the influence of the rebate.
Integrated Multimodal Transportation Model for a Switchgrass-Based Bioethanol Supply Chain: Case Study in North Dakota
Authors: Park Yong Shin , Szmerekovsky Joseph , Osmani Atif , Aslaam N. Muhammad
Published: February 2017

In this study, a mixed integer linear programming model that integrates multimodal transport—truck and rail—into the switchgrass-based bioethanol supply chain was formulated. The objective of this study was to minimize the total cost for cultivation and harvesting, infrastructure, the storage process, bioethanol production, and transportation. Strategic decisions, including the number and location of intermodal facilities and biorefineries, and tactical decisions, such as the amount of biomass shipped, processed, and converted into bioethanol, were validated by using North Dakota as a case study. It was found that the multimodal transport scenario was more cost effective than a single mode of transport (truck) and resulted in a lower cost for bioethanol. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to demonstrate the impact of key factors in the decision to use multimodal transport in a switchgrass-based bioethanol supply chain and on the cost of bioethanol.

OBJECTIVE

Thyroid disorder has been known to affect vascular function and has been associated with aortic aneurysm formation in some cases; however, the connection has not been well studied. The authors hypothesized that hypothyroidism is associated with the formation of cerebral aneurysms.

METHODS

The authors performed a retrospective case-control study of consecutive patients who had undergone cerebral angiography at an academic, tertiary care medical center in the period from April 2004 through April 2014. Patients with unruptured aneurysms were identified from among those who had undergone 3-vessel catheter angiography. Age-matched controls without cerebral aneurysms on angiography were also identified from the same database. Patients with previous subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracranial hemorrhage were excluded. History of hypothyroidism and other risk factors were recorded.

RESULTS

Two hundred forty-three patients with unruptured cerebral aneurysms were identified and age matched with 243 controls. Mean aneurysm size was 9.6 ± 0.8 mm. Hypothyroidism was present in 40 patients (16.5%) and 9 matched controls (3.7%; adjusted OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.3–7.8, p = 0.01). Subgroup analysis showed that men with hypothyroidism had higher odds of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm diagnosis than the women with hypothyroidism, with an adjusted OR of 12.7 (95% CI 1.3–121.9) versus an OR of 2.5 (95% CI 1.0–6.4) on multivariate analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

Hypothyroidism appears to be independently associated with unruptured cerebral aneurysms, with a higher effect seen in men. Given the known pathophysiological associations between hypothyroidism and vascular dysfunction, this finding warrants further exploration.

Religion and Animal Welfare—An Islamic Perspective
Authors: Rahman Sira
Published: February 2017

Islam is a comprehensive religion guiding the lives of its followers through sets of rules governing the personal, social, and public aspects through the verses of the Holy Qur’an and Hadiths, the compilation of the traditions of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), the two main documents that serve as guidelines. Islam is explicit with regard to using animals for human purposes and there is a rich tradition of the Prophet Mohammad’s (pbuh) concern for animals to be found in the Hadith and Sunna. Islam has also laid down rules for humane slaughter. In many countries animals are killed without pre-stunning. Regardless of pre-stunning, such meat should not be treated as halāl or at least be considered as Makrooh (detestable or abominable), because the animals have been beaten or treated without compassion during production, handling, transport, and slaughter. Many Muslims and Islamic religious leaders are not aware of the cruelty that is routinely inflicted on animals during transport, pre-slaughter, and slaughter in many Islamic countries. There is an urgent need to sensitize all Muslims to the teachings of animal welfare in the Qur’an and the Hadiths. A campaign is needed to apprise religious leaders of the current cruelty that occurs during transport and slaughter.
Spatial and Temporal Variation of the Extreme Saharan Dust Event over Turkey in March 2016
Authors: Baltaci Hakki
Published: February 2017

In this study, the influence of an extraordinary Saharan dust episode over Turkey on 23–24 March 2016 and the atmospheric conditions that triggered this event were evaluated in detail. PM10 (particulate matter less than 10 μm) observations from 97 air quality stations, METAR (Meteorological Terminal Aviation Routine Weather Report) observations at 64 airports, atmospheric soundings, and satellite products were used for the analysis. To determine the surface and upper levels of atmospheric circulation, National Centers of Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Reanalysis data were applied to the extreme dust episodes. On 23 March 2016, high southwesterly winds due to the interaction between surface low- and high-pressure centers over Italy and Levant basin brought thick dust particles from Libya to Turkey. The daily PM10 data from 43 stations exceeded their long-term spring means over Turkey (especially at the northern and western stations). As a consequence of the longitudinal movement of the surface low from Italy to the Balkan Peninsula, and the quasi-stationary conditions of the surface high-pressure center allowed for the penetration of strong south and southwesterly winds to inner parts of the country on the following day. As a consequence, 100%, 90%, 88%, and 87% of the monitoring stations in Marmara (NW Turkey), central Anatolia, western (Aegean) and northern (Black Sea) regions of Turkey, respectively, exhibited above-normal daily PM10 values. In addition, while strong subsidence at the low levels of the atmosphere plays a significant role in having excessive daily PM10 values in Black Sea, dry atmospheric conditions and thick inversion level near the ground surface of Marmara ensured this region to have peak PM10 values ~00 Local Time (LT).
Forest Islands and Castaway Communities: REDD+ and Forest Restoration in Prey Lang Forest
Authors: Work Courtney
Published: February 2017

Climate Change policies are playing an ever-increasing role in global development strategies and their implementation gives rise to often-unforeseen social conflicts and environmental degradations. A landscape approach to analyzing forest-based Climate Change Mitigation policies (CCM) and land grabs in the Prey Lang Forest landscape, Cambodia revealed two Korea-Cambodia partnership projects designed to increase forest cover that are juxtaposed in this paper. Case study data revealed a REDD+ project with little negative impact or social conflict in the project area and an Afforestation/Reforestation (A/R) project that created both social and ecological conflicts. The study concludes that forest-based CCM policies can reduce conflict through efforts at minimal transformation of local livelihoods, maximal attention to the tenure rights, responsibilities, and authority of citizens, and by improving, not degrading, the project landscapes. The paper presents the circumstances under which these guidelines are sidestepped by the A/R project, and importantly reveals that dramatic forest and livelihood transformation had already affected the community and environment in the REDD+ project site. There are deep contradictions at the heart of climate change policies toward which attention must be given, lest we leave our future generations with nothing but forest islands and castaway communities.
Mcm10: A Dynamic Scaffold at Eukaryotic Replication Forks
Authors: Baxley Ryan , Bielinsky Anja-Katrin
Published: February 2017

To complete the duplication of large genomes efficiently, mechanisms have evolved that coordinate DNA unwinding with DNA synthesis and provide quality control measures prior to cell division. Minichromosome maintenance protein 10 (Mcm10) is a conserved component of the eukaryotic replisome that contributes to this process in multiple ways. Mcm10 promotes the initiation of DNA replication through direct interactions with the cell division cycle 45 (Cdc45)-minichromosome maintenance complex proteins 2-7 (Mcm2-7)-go-ichi-ni-san GINS complex proteins, as well as single- and double-stranded DNA. After origin firing, Mcm10 controls replication fork stability to support elongation, primarily facilitating Okazaki fragment synthesis through recruitment of DNA polymerase-α and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Based on its multivalent properties, Mcm10 serves as an essential scaffold to promote DNA replication and guard against replication stress. Under pathological conditions, Mcm10 is often dysregulated. Genetic amplification and/or overexpression of MCM10 are common in cancer, and can serve as a strong prognostic marker of poor survival. These findings are compatible with a heightened requirement for Mcm10 in transformed cells to overcome limitations for DNA replication dictated by altered cell cycle control. In this review, we highlight advances in our understanding of when, where and how Mcm10 functions within the replisome to protect against barriers that cause incomplete replication.
Driver’s Cognitive Workload and Driving Performance under Traffic Sign Information Exposure in Complex Environments: A Case Study of the Highways in China

Complex traffic situations and high driving workload are the leading contributing factors to traffic crashes. There is a strong correlation between driving performance and driving workload, such as visual workload from traffic signs on highway off-ramps. This study aimed to evaluate traffic safety by analyzing drivers’ behavior and performance under the cognitive workload in complex environment areas. First, the driving workload of drivers was tested based on traffic signs with different quantities of information. Forty-four drivers were recruited to conduct a traffic sign cognition experiment under static controlled environment conditions. Different complex traffic signs were used for applying the cognitive workload. The static experiment results reveal that workload is highly related to the amount of information on traffic signs and reaction time increases with the information grade, while driving experience and gender effect are not significant. This shows that the cognitive workload of subsequent driving experiments can be controlled by the amount of information on traffic signs. Second, driving characteristics and driving performance were analyzed under different secondary task driving workload levels using a driving simulator. Drivers were required to drive at the required speed on a designed highway off-ramp scene. The cognitive workload was controlled by reading traffic signs with different information, which were divided into four levels. Drivers had to make choices by pushing buttons after reading traffic signs. Meanwhile, the driving performance information was recorded. Questionnaires on objective workload were collected right after each driving task. The results show that speed maintenance and lane deviations are significantly different under different levels of cognitive workload, and the effects of driving experience and gender groups are significant. The research results can be used to analyze traffic safety in highway environments, while considering more drivers’ cognitive and driving performance.
