Expanding Middle Class in Indonesia
Authors: Pratomo Devanto Shasta , Syafitri Wildan , Anindya Clarissa Sekar
Published: January 2021

The Indonesian economy has been one of the promising economies, with an average annual economic growth of about 5% in the last decade. With income per capita US$ 4050 as of 2019, Indonesia is now moving to attain upper-middle-income country status. Indonesia escaped from the lower-middle-income trap that the country has faced since 1985 by improving its human capital through increased attention to education and reduction in poverty. Alongside a significant poverty reduction, the middle class or middle-income population has been significantly growing. According to the National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS), the middle-class household grew from only 9% in 1993 to more than 20% in 2019. The middle class also works as an engine for growth, supporting nearly half of total national consumption. They are more likely of having better human capital, work as white-collar workers, and mostly living in urban areas. Due to the greater education and skills most of those in the middle class, have greater access to working in the formal sector jobs, and some are increasingly running productive business or entrepreneur which drives growth and creating jobs for others (World Bank, 2019).

Introduction: Psoriasis is one of the skin related inflammatory diseases that affects a low percentage of population around the globe. Vitamin D through Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) also regulates the function of white blood cells in psoriasis. Mutations in VDR gene have shown abnormalities in immune responses like psoriatic arthritis. To determine the possible association between Vitamin D Receptor (ApaI and TaqI) gene polymorphism and psoriasis, a case-control study was designed and conducted at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences (IBMS), Khyber Medical University (KMU) Peshawar and health units of Peshawar. Method: This multi-centre study included 220 samples (110 cases of psoriatic disease and 110 healthy controls). DNA was extracted using modified salting out protocol. VDR gene polymorphisms (TaqI and ApaI) were genotyped using amplification refractory mutation system using polymerase chain reaction (ARMSPCR) method. Results were statistically analyzed. Result: Our study showed significant association between VDR gene (TaqI, ApaI) polymorphisms and psoriasis with p-value of 0.009 (0.0019 and 0.0162) and odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for psoriasis of CC vs CT (TaqI) and AA vs AC (ApaI) were 2.963 (95% CI: 1.508-5.743) and 2.293 (95% CI:1.22-4.246) respectively. Conclusion: Findings indicate that VDR gene polymorphisms (TaqI, ApaI) are significantly associated with onset and progression of psoriasis, and mutations in these loci are risk factors for development of psoriasis.

Published: January 2021

Background: Lipid abnormalities in patients with diabetes are often phrased as “diabetic dyslipidemia”. The aim of the study was to evaluate the lipid profiles of patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus. Subjects and Methods: the subjects who were enrolled in this study were diabetic patients. For the study, a total of 150 diabetic patients with a history of diabetes for 10 years were arbitrarily chosen and scrutinized for dyslipidemia. Patients with other diseases and metabolic disarray were barred from the study. The patients were selected on an indiscriminate base and detailed case history was measured with all appropriate clinical checks. Results: Total 140 diabetic patients with a mean age of 49.98 13.3 years were included in the study. The mean FBS of study participants was 189.78   55.65 mg/dl. Mean triglycerides level was 203.59   84.48mg/dl. Out   of the total 150 patients, borderline high cholesterol (200-239 mg/dl) and high cholesterol ( 240 mg/dl) level were 29 (19.3%) and 22 (14.6%) respectively. Out of 150 subjects, 37(24.6%) had borderline high triglyceride (150-199 mg/dl) while 61 (40.6%) had high triglyceride (200-249 mg/dl) level. Conclusion: Hyperlipidemia is the most frequent snag of diabetes mellitus and it can prompt patients to precipitate atherosclerosis and microvascular difficulty. Good glycemic control can avert the advances and succession of usual lipid irregularity in diabetes like heightened triglycerides, LDL, serum cholesterol and low HDL.

Published: January 2021

Background: Anemia is one of the common Hematological disorders in India and worldwide. It affects all the age groups both in Males and Females. Moderate to Severe Anemia causes increased morbidity and mortality in elderly patients (AWHO expert group) - According to Worlds Health Organization, Anemia is a define when adults males are having Hemoglobin less than 13.5gr% when adults females non-pregnant less than 12 gr% and when pregnant females are having less than 11 ger%. The incidence of Anemia is very high in old age people who are more than 75 years of age. It ranges from 9% to 41%. In India Anemia is commonly due to nutrition, pregnancy, Hookworm infestation, DUB in the case of females, and Malignancy. The prevalence of anemia in the elderly has been found to range from 9% to 42% with the highest prevalence in 80 years and above. The common causes of anemia in India are Nutritional, Pregnancy, Hookworm infestation, and DUB in the case of Females and Malignancy. The common symptom is General weakness, Fatigue, Lack of concentration, Shortness of Breath, and Palpitations. A WHO expert group proposed that anemia should be considered when hemoglobin level below 13.5gr& in adult males; 12gr% in adults females non-pregnant; 11 gr% in adult female pregnant; 12gr% in children over 14yrs(1). The aim is to evaluate the etiology and clinical features of anemia in adults in rural medical colleges. Subjects & Methods: This study is conducted at GEMS Medical College, Srikakulam, A.P for the period of 1 year from April 2018 to March 2019. This study includes 120 patients with Anemia. The age group is between 20 years and 70 years. Males were 56 and females were 64. Results: We have conducted this study at GEMS Medical College, Srikakulam for 1 year, from April 2019 to March 2019 total no. of patients included in this study are 120 males 56 and females 64. The age group is between 20 years and 70 years. The maximum patients are in between 30 years and 70 years in both sexes. Conclusion: Anemia is a common medical problem in developing countries. In a rural part of India, the disorders will complicate the pregnancy also. So periodical examination and education of the people can decrease morbidity and mortality. In our area still, the common cause is nutritional.

Published: January 2021

Background: The major crisis in any type of surgery is understood to be Surgical Site Infection (SSI). Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a nominally invasive procedure, there is a dominant prevalence of SSI in patients. It is also believed that prophylactic antibiotic has major impact in reducing SSI. Subjects & Methods: Seventy cases were enrolled in this study with knowledgeable consent. The study was carried out over a time period of ten months. The subjects acknowledge for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were incorporated in our study. Results: Out of the 70 randomized patients, 35 were allotted in single dose (SD group) while 35 patients were allotted in multiple doses (MD group), who got planned treatments and were then investigated. Of the 70 patients, female patients were 58(82.9%) and males were 12(17.1%). Total 43.62 12.18 years was the mean age of patients having symptomatic cholelithiasis, with 18 years as minimum and 77 years as maximum age. The peak of disease was documented in the age group of 30 to 39 years (28.6%). Conclusion: Utility of single antibiotic dose before anesthesia induction in laparoscopic cholecystectomy was likewise efficient as the use of multiple antibiotics doses in surgical site infection of postoperative periods.

Published: January 2021

Background: Increase in intimal medial thickness (IMT) of the carotid arteries is contemplated as a guide to atherosclerotic vascular disease and subclinical organ damage and foretell cardiovascular disease. The study aimed to analyse IMT in non-diabetic and diabetic subjects. Subjects and Methods: There were 105 diabetic and 95 non-diabetic subjects in this study. Common carotid artery (CCA) IMT was calculated using a linear probe of a high-resolution ultrasound medical system. Results: Diabetic subjects (0.95 mm) showed significantly higher mean intimal medial thickness (IMT) when compared non-diabetic subjects (0.85 mm) (p <0.05). Correlation of IMT was seen with age, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL & LDL cholesterol and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in diabetic subjects. Total cholesterol, SBP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) showed a correlation with IMT in the non-diabetic subjects. Age, total cholesterol, SBP, and diabetes were independent risk factors for intimal medial thickness in multivariate linear regression analysis. Conclusion: Higher intimal medial thickness was seen in diabetic subjects when compared to non-diabetic subjects. We conclude that age, total cholesterol, SBP and duration of diabetes showed a significant correlation with IMT. IMT can be considered as a screening tool in diabetic patients for the early detection of atherosclerosis.

Authors: Vikrant Kanagaraju  , B Devanand
Published: January 2021

Background: Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) or Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a unique clinicoradiologic entity characterized by acute onset headache, seizures, blindness and altered mental state associated with reversible vasogenic edema of the brain. It is a major complication of eclampsia, but data on clinicoradiological features of PRES in late-onset postpartum eclampsia are scarce. The objective is to analyze the clinicoradiologic features and outcome in a cohort of late postpartum eclampsia patients with PRES. Subjects and Methods: Eighteen patients of late postpartum eclampsia with clinical as well as neuroimaging features consistent with PRES were included in this retrospective study. All had undergone magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) mapping. Data on age, antepartum history, peak systolic and diastolic blood pressures, clinical features, time to neuroimaging, location of lesions on brain imaging and presence of associated ischemia or hemorrhage in MRI were collected and analyzed. Results: The mean age was 25.72 3.23 years. The average duration between labor and clinical symptoms was 8.5 days. 13/18 patients (72.2%) had elevated blood pressure at admission. Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 143.88 (120-180) and 93.88 (80-100) mm Hg respectively. Headache was the presenting feature in 16 patients. The parieto-occipital regions were the most frequently involved followed by the cerebellum (7/18) and frontal lobe (4/18). Atypical regions were not involved. Clinical recovery had been noted in all. Conclusion: PRES associated with late postpartum eclampsia, an entity of limited awareness can present without antecedent preeclampsia. Radiological changes are the key to early diagnosis.

SPATIAL-TEMPORAL VARIATION OF GROUNDWATER RECHARGE FROM PRECIPITATION IN THE STONY ATHI SUB-CATCHMENT, KENYA
Authors: Mathenge Morris W. , Gathuru Dr. Gladys M. , Kitur Dr. Esther L.
Published: January 2021

Purpose: Groundwater recharge is an important process for sustainable groundwater development and its quantification is a prerequisite for efficient management of groundwater resources. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the scale and spatial-temporal variation of groundwater recharge from precipitation in the semi-arid Stony Athi sub-catchment.

Methodology: A descriptive case study approach was used for the evaluation. WetSpass-M, a GIS physically based, spatially distributed watershed model was applied. The model integrates biophysical and climatic characteristics of a watershed to simulate the long term mean groundwater recharge. Grid maps of the sub-catchment characteristics were prepared from primary and secondary data using ArcMap. The model was applied for four periods, namely, 1984, 1995, 2005 and 2017. Besides the average groundwater recharge, other outputs of the model include surface run-off and actual evapotranspiration. The study was carried out between January and December 2018.

Findings: Land cover in the Stony Athi sub-catchment is comprised of built-up area, agricultural land, grassland, shrub-land, mixed forest and bare land. Topography ranges from 1493 m to 2,082 m above sea level with a slope of between 0% and 30%. Soil types include sandy loam, loam, sandy clay loam, sandy loam and clay. The mean annual precipitation is about 634 mm while the potential evapotranspiration is about 1,490 mm. Annual temperature averages 19.0°C with a mean maximum of 25°C and a mean minimum of 12.7°C. The results of the simulation indicated that the long-term temporal and spatial average annual rainfall of 634 mm is distributed as 88 mm (14%) recharge, 77 mm (12%) surface runoff while 475 mm (75%) is lost through evapotranspiration.  

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: This study demonstrate the importance of physically-based spatially-distributed hydrological models in estimating the water balance. The study provides a theoretical basis for scientific, rational resource allocation and utilization as well as creating awareness of the need to enhance groundwater governance. Results from this study can be used as an input for building an integrated groundwater modelling and for evaluation of potential sites for managed artificial recharge through harvesting runoff to improve groundwater storage.

Introduction. Des études ont fait émerger l’existence de risque de prédiabète chez les patients qui ont une combinaison, profil glycémique normal et une glycémie à 1 heure supérieure à 1,55 g/L. Nous avons étudié les effets des combinaisons glycémie 1 heure (Gly 1h) après une hyperglycémie provoquée par voie orale HGPO avec un profil glycémique normal. Méthode. Une HGPO standardisée a été réalisée chez 100 femmes obèses. 46 avaient un profil glycémique normal. Une GAJ <1,00 g/L et une glycémie à 2 heures, Gly 2h <1,40 g/L. Elles étaient classées en deux groupes. Le groupe 1 (G1) ayant une GAJ <1,00 g/L, subdivisé en (G1a) ayant une Gly 1h <1,55 g/L et G1b ayant une Gly 1h ≥ à 1,55 g/L. Le groupe 2 (G2) avec une Gly 2h <1,40 g/L, subdivisé en (G2a) ayant une Gly 1h <1,55 g/L et (G2b) ayant une Gly 1h ≥1,55 g/L. Les tests de sensibilité – spécificité et l’Odds ratio ont été calculés à la recherche d’éventuelles corrélations. Résultats. Une corrélation très significative existait entre la Gly 1h ≥1,55 g/L chez les sous-groupes G1b (n=11, p=0,0001) et G2b (n=11, p=0,0007) et la valeur de 1,55 g/L. Cette valeur est hautement spécifique (spécificité 0,79) et moins sensible (sensibilité 0,64-0,54). L’Odds ratio était de [G1b=5,85 et G2b=3,41]. Conclusion. La Gly 1h à la valeur seuil de 1,55 g/L peut mieux mettre en évidence des profils glycémiques à risque cardiométabolique.

Introduction. L’hémodialyse permet aujourd’hui la survie de plus d’un million et demi de patients dans le monde, avec une qualité de vie de plus en plus acceptable. Le risque de mortalité est 20 fois plus élevé chez les patients en hémodialyse chronique par rapport à la population générale d’âge égal, incriminant les maladies cardiovasculaires comme premières causes de mortalité. Objectif. Étudier de la variation des marqueurs cardiaques TnThs et NTproBNP chez une population d’hémodialysée chronique et leurs rôles pronostiques dans la survenue la morbi-mortalité cardiovasculaire. Patients et méthodes. Il s’agit d’une étude de cohorte prospective observationnelle et longitudinale réalisée sur 145sujets urémiques chroniques asymptomatiques traités par hémodialyse suivi pendant 02 ans. Résultats. 93,8% des patients ont des taux de TnThs et 100% ont des taux de NTproBNP supérieurs aux valeurs de référence. La mortalité globale cumulée est de 11,7% (n=17) avec une moyenne de survie de 22,57 mois. L’analyse univariée retrouve une valeur pronostique pour la TnThs et NT-proBNP avec respectivement des HR brut de 4,99 et 5,008. Cependant, l’analyse multivariée ne retrouve pas ces marqueurs comme des facteurs prédictifs indépendant de mortalité. Conclusion. La TnThs et NT-proBNP sont de mauvais marqueurs pronostiques non indépendants de mortalité globale.

Mount Agung in Karangasem Regency is one of the volcanoes in Bali. This mountain is in the path of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Towards the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018, the mountain which is highly purified by the Balinese Hindu community are erupted. Although the eruptions were not as large as in 1963, thousands of people during 2017 were displaced not only around Karangasem Regency but also in some others in Bali. This qualitative study found that, until the eruption in 2017 and 2018, Mount Agung is said to be still in a state of disaster. For that reason, there are still residents who reside less than 4 kilometers from the peak of Mount Agung lived in refugee camps. Nevertheless, in general the problem of evacuation can be said to have been going well.

Indonesia sebagai penyumbang sampah plastik terbesar kedua di dunia setelah Cina memunculkan ungkapan darurat sampah plastik di Indonesia. Masalah global ini harus segera dilakukan tindakan nyata dari lingkup terkecil yaitu rumah tangga sebagai salah satu yang memproduksi sampah. Pemahaman tentang sampah dari jenis, sumber, dan bentuknya sangat perlu untuk disosialisasikan. Langkah sederhananya yakni membudayakan 5R (reuse, reduce, recycle, replace, repair) dalam membangkitkan kembali semangat peduli lingkungan dan pengelolaan sampah secara sederhana pada tingkat rumah tangga. Sebagai perantara awal adalah pada lingkup terkecil yaitu keluarga dalam wilayah desa. Salah satu yang perlu ditingkatkan kualitasnya adalah organisasi yang menaungi ibu-ibu yakni PKK tingkat desa karena perannya pada dua area penting, keluarga dan lingkungan desa. Pada sisi kualitas PKK desa, perlu mendapatkan edukasi terkait tentang pengolahan sampah secara sederhana, agar edukasi tersebut kemudian dapat secara berkelanjutan menuju ruang lingkup yang dinaungi. Selain pemberdayaan, pengetahuan tentang sampah akan memunculkan kreativitas pada pengelolaannya agar sampah yang dimaksud menjadi sesuatu yang dapat berdaya guna dan memberikan keuntungan. Hal ini akan berdampak pula pada proses lanjutan pengolahan daur ulang sampah pada fase berikutnya dan pada akhinya akan berdampak pula pada penekanan atau pengendalian sampah secara lebih luas dalam berbagai lapisan kehidupan masyarakat.

The writers conducted the process of observation, literature study, and interviews with the head of Karang Boma Studio, Pecatu Village to get information related to the Kecak performance at Uluwatu Temple. The uniqueness of this Kecak art can be seen in the presentation that uses human voice accompaniment. Processing melodies and interlocking cak patterns really requires strong breathing. The aesthetic value can be seen from the wholeness in the presentation of Kecak which is presented in its entirety with the patterns arranged in the Kecak's vowels by highlighting the harmonious vocal processing techniques between plain and sangsih cak. The balance in the presentation of Kecak is seen from the melody processing and cak pattern pronunciation that is dynamically balanced and does not occur as a dominant one.

Village tourism in Indonesia is known as desa wisata which in English means tourism village. Gramatically the right one is the village tourism. That is why the two terms (wisata desa and desa wisata) is used synonimously in Indonesian context. This qualitative study found that the substance is that the village tourism is a business run by local villagers. So that, such kind of tourism is the one with the basic of community-based tourism or CBT. In Bali, the tourism itself as well as the CBT is a practice of paradigm which is popularly known as tri hita karana or THK. THK itself is a very basic concept in Bali which includes the relationships among God (parhyangan), people (pawongan), and environment (palemahan). The success of the village tourism depends on the succes of the THK implementation in such a tourism.
Dilema Demokrasi Elektoral
Authors: Wiratmaja I Nyoman
Published: January 2021

The practice of democracy is not the same as as its theory. People's sovereignty is often derailed by power-hungry political elites. Even though people in the Reform era are no longer expected to only play a limited role or merely as a giver or renew political legitimacy or as mere objects of political activity. It is worried because the practice of electoral democracy is felt further away from the spirit of democratic principles. There is still widespread behavior that justifies any means that is contrary to the values and principles of democracy, such as: politicization of SARA (suku, agama, ras, antargolongan) or politics of identity, criminalization of political opponents, dissemination of hoaxes, hate speeches, and intimidation, unneutral state apparatus, or election organizers, practices of money politics, sound auction and bribery, document forgery and manipulation of operating procedures. As a result, elected leaders often do not serve the people. All policies taken are often biased in the interests of the ruling elite or the interests of investors, and tend to be very minimal even without involving the people. In the future bad practices should not be continued and should be replaced by a shared commitment to establish substantial democracy by upholding law and justice. Stop the electoral democracy is only a lip-service of a five-year democratic party and must have a real contribution to the improvement of the nation. Electoral democracy must be an arena of healthy competition to get someone who is qualified and able to be a leader in an effort to realize common goals of just prosperity. If it fails to uphold a substantial democracy in everyday political life, then it does not only mean the castration of people's sovereignty or the failure of democracy alone, but the destruction of the Republic of Indonesia will be at stake.

Population is a capital in a development of a country but on the other side, it is also a problem for the development if the population is not well managed. A big amount of population will be potential to provide human resources. Such a big amount will be a great market for the domestic production but it will need the provision of foods, shirts, houses, jobs, and facilities of education, health, etc. This thing happens in Bali because this island is an international popular destination. In the post-reform (reformasi Indonesia), Bali population growth in 1998 has increased. This is caused by several factors, namely: TFR increase, positive net migration, and decreased mortality. There are many potential negative impacts that can arise because of the population problems due to the increase in the rate of growth. Therefore, in development, the population must be paid more attention, because in essence in the development of the population is as the subject and object. The development should be able to improve the welfare of the inhabitants either inborn or in a just and sustainable way

General election is a tools or facility in implementing democracy which is carried out directly, publicly, freely, confidentially, honestly and fairly.

Perempuan Bali dalam Kontestasi Pemilu: Kuantitas vs Kualitas

Women's political participation in the political stage has increased, one of which is due to the creation of the 2003 Election Law which regulates the quota of women legislative candidates at least 30 percent. The emergence of regulations that open wide avenues for women to take part in politics, in fact, is inversely proportional to the conditions of women cadres in Bali. In Bali, women who succeed in sitting in the district / city legislature can be counted by fingers. From the 2004 to 2014 elections, no more than 10 percent of Balinese women succeeded in gaining positions in the regional legislature. The number of Balinese women who participated was relatively large, but after voting (elections), only a few managed to win. So that this raises the phenomenon of Balinese female cadres being only used as a tool to fulfill the quota of political parties without being given the knowledge, motivation and fighting spirit to take careers seriously in the world of practical politics.
Tradisi Omed-omedan dalam Perspektif Industri Budaya
Authors: Jayanegara I Nyoman
Published: January 2021

The Omed-omedan tradition is one of the unique traditions in the city of Denpasar, precisely in Banjar Kaja, Kelurahan Sesetan. The Omed-omedan tradition is a mythology accepted as a cultural heritage of the Banjar Kaja community, Sesetan, has been passed down from the older generation to the present. That's why this tradition is said to be unique and rare as cannot be found elsewhere. The Omed-omedan tradition was originally a tradition that was carried out spontaneously by the Banjar Kaja community, but in its development it has transformed into a cultural festival which certainly has a fairly high selling value. The transformation of a tradition which was initially carried out spontaneously by the community into a festival showed that the cultural industry with its capitalist ideology was able to influence most people to agree that the implementation of this tradition was packaged into a festival. The Banjar Kaja Sesetan community feels that they need a new model in the implementation of this tradition so that it has more selling value and is better known than before. The Banjar Kaja community, Sesetean, has unconsciously been hegemony by capitalist ideology so that it has unconsciously agreed to transform the tradition from spontaneity into a festival. By reason of the progress of the era and tourism, this tradition is considered to have high economic value so that it should be used as a cultural festival. The cultural industry does not eliminate the sacred value of this tradition, but by turning into a festival with various packages that satisfy the people present, resulting in the loss of the authenticity of the tradition, there has been an unconscious uniformity in the implementation of this tradition.

Sociology of Social Structure and Sociologists Working in Totalitarian and Post-Totalitarian Regimes in Central Europe, 1945–1989
Authors: Mink Georges
Published: January 2021

The model of society put forward by Marxist theoreticians as descriptive of a post-revolutionary society had a quasi-constitutional status in countries that claimed to adhere to Soviet-type socialism, particularly those of Eastern Europe. As the model’s main function was to legitimise the actions of those who wielded power, it acquired doctrinal significance. In the Eastern European countries, the history of the sociology of social structure and stratification clearly illustrates the conservative nature of official doctrine. However, the real mechanisms of society, in so far as they deviated from the official paradigm, upset doctrinal stability and may consequently have led, if not to a revision of the official dogmas, then to the acceptance of a certain degree of flexibility. In order to understand the development of the theoretical analysis of social stratification and social inequalities (the most sensitive area of debate) in totalitarian and post-totalitarian Soviet type societies, it must be noted that post-war sociology has reflected a continuing effort by sociologists to create an independent scientific framework for their discipline. This is why we try, in this article, to combine evaluating the attitudes of different Eastern European sociologists from across the political spectrum with the evolution and adaptation of their theoretical approaches and creativity.

O estudo analisou à relação das variáveis indicadores de educação previdenciária com as características socioeconômicas de graduando e egressos de uma universidade em Goiânia. Aplicou-se um questionário eletrônico, cuja amostra foi de 249 respondentes. Utilizaram-se os testes estatísticos de Fisher, Qui-quadrado, Spearman e Kendall para verificar associações entre investimentos de recursos para a fase de aposentadoria, utilizando as seguintes variáveis: idade; gênero; renda; acompanhar reformas previdenciárias; possuir carteira de trabalho assinada; e conhecer benefício fiscal para PGBL. Foram constatadas associações dos investimentos de recursos para a fase de aposentadoria com: gênero; renda; acompanhar reformas previdenciárias; possuir carteira de trabalho assinada e conhecer benefício fiscal para PGBL. Essas associações sugerem que os participantes estão acompanhando as reformas da previdência e tem consciência da necessidade de acumulação de patrimônio para o pós-carreira, entretanto eles não realizam esses investimentos em decorrência da baixa renda. Há evidência estatística de que os homens investem recursos para a fase de aposentadoria com maior frequência do que as mulheres, contribuindo assim, com a literatura, uma vez que esses resultados são corroborados por estudos anteriores.

Published: January 2021

Este estudo analisou o efeito da capacidade gerencial do diretor financeiro (CFO) na qualidade dos resultados divulgados pelas firmas listadas na B3. Para obter a capacidade gerencial do CFO foi utilizada a abordagem de Demerjian et al. (2013), na qual se estima a eficiência total da empresa mediante um método de fronteira eficiente e o resíduo da equação é tomado para criação da medida. Foi utilizada a reapresentação dos resultados contábeis como proxy de qualidade de resultados da firma. Foi considerado como eficiência da firma a capacidade de agregar valor aos insumos adquiridos ou consumidos. A eficiência foi estimada através do método de Stochastic Production Frontier (SFA), mediante um fixed effects production frontier model. Para verificar se a parcela de eficiência da firma atribuível a capacidade do CFO e a sua equipe tem relação com a qualidade dos resultados foi estimado um modelo de regressão probit em painel mediante o generalized estimating equation (GEE) approach para descobrir o efeito médio na população da variável que representa a capacidade gerencial, Mhabil, em relação ao efeito específico individual. As evidências empíricas indicam que maior capacidade gerencial do CFO tem relação negativa com a probabilidade de reapresentação dos relatórios financeiros e, consequentemente, maior a qualidade dos resultados para as empresas. Os resultados indicam que a escolha do gestor CFO é importante para o mercado de capitais, demonstrando que CFOs mais capazes implicam em menores chances de reapresentação dos resultados financeiros. Para a análise foram utilizadas informações anuais das empresas brasileiras listadas na B3 no período de 2010 a 2017.
Desempenho econômico-financeiro e estatística fractal do preço das ações de empresas brasileiras listadas no índice IBRX-50
Authors: Vogt Mara , Degenhart Larissa , Hein Nelson
Published: January 2021

Este estudo objetiva comparar o ranking de desempenho econômico-financeiro com o ranking da estatística fractal do preço das ações de empresas brasileiras. Realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva, documental e com abordagem quantitativa. A população compreendeu 50 empresas que pertencem ao índice IBrX-50 da B3 e a amostra constituiu se de 44 empresas, sendo o período de 2012 a 2015. Aplicou-se o método TOPSIS para obter o ranking de desempenho econômico-financeiro e para desenvolver o ranking do preço das ações, a metodologia Hurst. No geral, os resultados revelaram que o ranking de desempenho econômico-financeiro das empresas analisadas não se assemelha com o ranking do preço das ações, visto que as empresas que lideraram no ranking de desempenho, não apresentaram as primeiras colocações no ranking do preço das ações. As ações apresentaram-se persistentes e antipersistentes nos anos analisados. Este resultado sugere que houve uma probabilidade maior de 50% de um valor negativo ser seguido de um positivo (antipersistente) e, maior que 50% de um valor positivo no preço das ações ser precedido de outro positivo e de um valor negativo ser seguido de outro negativo (persistente). Tais resultados trazem implicações práticas para os investidores, pois podem utilizar estes achados para refletir sobre a posição das empresas nos rankings, com vistas a minimizar o risco inerente as operações no mercado de capitais. A pesquisa também apresenta contribuições teóricas, no preenchimento de lacunas da literatura de finanças sobre o tema e traz novas evidências sobre as hipóteses de eficiência do mercado de capitais.
