Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the export commodities from food crops sector and has many potencies to be developed. Indonesia is one of the top-10 biggest countries that can produced cassava for the world. This research aimed to 1) identify the competitiveness rate of Indonesian processed cassava export to China as the destination country, 2) identify the internal and external factors of export of Indonesian processed cassava to China, and 3) identify the strategies that can be used to improve the export competitiveness of processed cassava to China. Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), was implemented to determinded the competitiveness rate of Indonesian processed cassava. Indonesian processed cassava in China’s export market for 5 years period from 2012 to 2016 has an average RCA index less than 1. This shows that during the whole year period, Indonesian processed cassava has weak comparative advantage, and also has a fairly low competitiveness in the China market. From that result, strategies to improve the competitiveness of cassava sales both from export and import can be done by using SWOT analysis. The results of the SWOT analysis can generate the alternative strategies through AHP analysis. The integration of internal and external factors needs to be done as a strategy of market penetration of processed cassava of Indonesia. Strategic alternatives that become the main priority in the effort to increase the export competitiveness of Indonesian processed cassava are farmers with starch products and technology adoption to increase the fulfillment of export quantity of processed cassava.

L’éducation entre reproduction de programmes et formation de soi: l’importance du trajet anthropoformateur
Authors: PAUL Patrick
Published: May 2019

Il existe différentes manières de « penser le monde » et de produire du savoir. La compréhension qu’ont les indigènes du monde qui les entoure est par exemple très différente de celle d’un scientifique. Tout être humain se forme grâce à sa propre expérience (savoirs expérientiels) et grâce à un certain nombre de connaissances formelles qui interprètent les phénomènes sélectionnés en donnant un sens à leur lecture. Cet entendement est associé, pour parler un langage académique, au positionnement épistémologique qui permet de les analyser. Ce constat évoque la notion de paradigme (Thomas Kuhn), que l’on peut définir comme une représentation du monde construite par des nécessités socio-historiques, une manière de voir et de penser le plus souvent implicite dans la société mais qui repose cependant sur un fondement parfaitement défini culturellement (un modèle théorique, un courant de pensée).

Published: May 2019

Company default risk will determine investor reaction on the increase of company earning. If financial statements contain information, then financial markets will react as a result of reported earnings. The primary focus of this study aims at analyzing the impact of default risk on earning response coefficient as well as the influence of corporate governance toward the connection between default risk and earning response coefficient. In addition, this study examines the influence of size and growth opportunity toward the earning response coefficient. This is a cross sectional study, analyzing year 2017 sample data. The research sample consists of 49 companies taken purposively from the list of companies in Indonesia Stock Exchange. Results of this study prove that default risk has a negative impact on earning response coefficient and that corporate governance can reduce the negative impact of default risk on earning response coefficient. This study also finds evidence that growth opportunity positively influences earning response coefficient.  Keywords: corporate governance; default risk; earning response coefficient; growth opportunity

Medicinal plants are good alternate of antibiotics against many bacterial as well as other diseases. Santalum album (Sandal) and Cymbopogon (Lemon grass) are two important medicinal plants whose important components were extracted by sequential extraction from non-polar to polar solvents. The study was aimed at finding antibacterial and radical scavenging potential of Santalum album (Sandal) and Cymbopogon (Lemon grass). Study Design: In vitro study. Setting: Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Gujrat, Gujrat. Period: 12 months. Material and Methods: Sequential extracts of Santalum album and Cymbopogon with n-hexane, chloroform, acetone, ethylacetate, ethanol, butanol and water respectively were prepared to evaluate antibacterial activity against Staph aureus (25923), Staph aureus (38541), E.coli (25922), E.coli (35318), Streptococcus pyrogenes (Tc-11-2) and Shigella sonnei (BB-8). 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was used to assess antioxidant activity. Results: Ethanolic and acetone extracts of sandal and lemongrass showed significant inhibtory activity against all seven strains. In case of sandal, acetone extract exhibited highest inhibitory activity against Staph aureus (25923) with 17±2 mm zone of inhibition while ethanolic extract of lemon grass showed highest activity with 16.333 ± 1.154mm zone of inhibition against E.Coli (35318). Other solvents including chloroform, n-hexane, ethyl acetate and butanol also showed considerable antibacterial activity, but water extracts of both plants showed no activity. All polarity based extracts of both plants exhibited antioxidant activity, ethanolic extracts of sandal and lemon grass showed highest radical scavenging activity with 84.366 ±1.504% and 83.766 ±4.272% inhibitions respectively. The minimum antioxidant activity was observed for chloroform extracts of sandal and n-hexane extract of lemongrass. Conclusion: we concluded that some plants have good antibacterial and antioxidant potential. Their phytochemical analysis can be carried out to find potent antibacterial and antioxidant compounds. This will be effective in combating bacterial diseases because mostly microbes are developing resistance against currently available antibiotics.

Background: Seizures are the most common neurologic emergency in pediatrics and can be terrifying for patients and families. They occur in approximately 4-10% of children and account for 1% of all emergency department visits. There are a variety of potential causes for seizures; however, they have a final common pathway which includes abnormal electrical discharges of neurons. The extent of this abnormal discharges and their location in the brain leads to a variety of clinical presentation which range from subtle, non-convulsive events to dramatic generalized convulsions. Most common biochemical abnormality causing seizures is hypocalcemia, which in children may manifest astetany, seizures, muscle cramp, and paresthesia. Objectives: The objective of the study was to: determine the frequency of hypocalcaemia in children presenting with afebrile seizures from age 2 months to 2 years. Study Design: Descriptive cross sectional study. Settings: Pediatric emergency and outpatient department of Pediatric Medicine Unit 1, Independent University Faisalabad.
