Financial market performance: An influence of personal remittances
Authors: Tsaurai Kunofiwa
Published: February 2017

This study examined the relationship between banking sector development and personal remittances in Zambia using the vector error correction model (VECM) approach with annual time series secondary data ranging from 1980 to 2014. Literature has found out that the relationship between financial sector development and remittances is fourfold: (1) financial sector development influences remittances inflow into the receiving country, (2) remittances positively influences financial sector development, (3) there is a feedback relationship between financial sector development and remittances inflow and (4) there is no or negligible relationship between the two variables. The study found out that there existed a long run causality relationship running from either banking sector development towards personal remittances or from personal remittances towards banking sector development in Zambia during the period under study. The short run causality from either side to another could not be confirmed in this study. It is against this background that the current study encourages Zambian authorities to stimulate banking sector development in order to increase personal remittances inflow. They should also design sustainable remittances harnessing policies as that will go a long way in as far as promoting banking sector development is concerned.
Identification and Functional Implications of Sodium/Myo-Inositol Cotransporter 1 in Pancreatic β-Cells and Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Li Stephen Yu Ting , Cheng Sam Tsz Wai , Zhang Dan , Leung Po Sing
Published: February 2017

Myo-inositol (MI), the precursor of the second messenger phosphoinositide (PI), mediates multiple cellular events. Rat islets exhibit active transport of MI, although the mechanism involved remains elusive. Here, we report, for the first time, the expression of sodium/myo-inositol cotransporter 1 (SMIT1) in rat islets and, specifically, β-cells. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of SMIT1 impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by INS-1E cells, probably via downregulation of PI signaling. In addition, SMIT1 expression in INS-1E cells and isolated islets was augmented by acute high-glucose exposure and reduced in chronic hyperglycemia conditions. In corroboration, chronic MI treatment improved the disease phenotypes of diabetic rats and islets. On the basis of our results, we postulate that the MI transporter SMIT1 is required to maintain a stable PI pool in β-cells in order that PI remains available despite its rapid turnover.

Travestismo cultural y mestizaje latinoamericano: Apuntes para un análisis antropológico
Authors: Almaguer Rodríguez Fernando , Ricardo Domínguez Nancy
Published: February 2017

La realidad existencial del hombre latinoamericano es el resultado de múltiples factores culturales e históricos convergentes. La diversidad expresiva de semejante ligazón híbrida ha generado una similar proporción de enfoques teóricos y metodológicos que, -desde distintas posturas de las ciencias sociales y humanas-, pretenden arrojar luz a un fenómeno tan singular como complejo. El mestizaje cultural posee la virtud de suprimir los excesos de exactitud con que cada componente étnico llegado su momento de esplendor, tenga edificado un sólido herramental sígnico-simbólico que conformaba distintivas formas cosmológicas. La interacción de cada una de estas cosmovisiones propició lo que se aborda en este ensayo como travestismo cultural. Su manifestación entitativa se halla tan delicadamente elaborada que develarla implica un recorrido imaginal que muestre los acercamientos y distancias ópticas de la mismidad y la alteridad.
El Sistema Nacional de Salud de Ecuador: Estudiarlo para mejorarlo
Authors: Cañizares Fuentes Ricardo
Published: February 2017

El Sistema de Salud es uno de los mejores mecanismos sociales para ayudar a disminuir la pobreza y mejorar la equidad en la sociedad evitando que los altos costos de la atención de salud  se conviertan en un gasto directo adicional de los ciudadanos. Los países de América Latina entre ellos Ecuador, desplegaron en los últimos años, importantes reformas en búsqueda de universalizar el acceso a la atención de salud. Sin embargo, aún no logran garantizar el acceso universal efectivo y oportuno para toda la población. Es necesario mirar cómo está funcionando el Sistema de Salud. Este desempeño debe medirse técnicamente, socializarse y debatirse con todos los actores sociales. Los avances reales se tienen que constatar en función de medir el impacto de las políticas y programas de salud en la población, medición que se puede complementar con un sistema de monitoreo o un observatorio del sistema de salud, que pueden ser implementadas por las universidades y centros de investigación en salud. La información que se genera en este proceso ayuda a tomar las mejores decisiones en beneficio del sistema de salud.
Algunas consideraciones del racismo en Ecuador
Authors: Zuñiga Rendón Carlos Adolfo
Published: February 2017

El artículo, revisa dos recientes casos de discriminación racial en Ecuador. En ambos, las víctimas se vieron obligadas a recurrir ante las últimas instancias procesales en razón de inconsistentes actuaciones y valoraciones de los hechos discriminatorios por parte de los tribunales de primera y segunda instancia. Esta situación, demostró la falta de independencia judicial para resolver casos de racismo, así como el desconocimiento de la especificación constitucional de los afros descendientes como titulares de derechos.Desde una perspectiva histórica, la idea de raza fue establecida como instrumento de clasificación social básica de la población. Desde la conquista de América, la población negra se vio identificada con los lugares y roles sociales más bajos, al mismo tiempo que eran víctimas del denominado racismo tradicional, que se expresa en un sentido de superioridad.En lo que respecta al racismo, la dimensión liberal del principio de igualdad constituyó un antecedente importante en la distribución de igualdad de oportunidades. Sin embargo, esta perspectiva resultaría criticada por restringida e insuficiente, a medida que fue exigido, además, el ser tratado como igual; que consiste en ser tratado con la misma consideración y respeto que cualquiera. Principalmente en Estados Unidos el racismo ha sufrido un proceso evolutivo a través de la jurisprudencia de la Corte Suprema. Varios han sido los casos cuyos precedentes han modificado nociones del principio de igualdad racial en el resto del mundo. Por otra parte, merece atención el empleo de denominaciones y el contexto en el que son expresadas para los casos de racismo.

Published: February 2017

Virtualization is a technology lately much discussed and considered as the proper way to cut costs in the construction of a data center. One example of the implementation of virtualization technologies is to using VMware. Another tools for virtualization are Xen and OpenVZ, but VMware is more flexible than Xen or OpenVZ because VMware can run a variety of operating systems. Although it has the advantage, virtualization technology also has a vital weakness, virtualization technologies could be analogous by putting all the eggs in a basket. This means that if the master server problem, all systems inside the virtual machine can not be used. However, it can be anticipated by provide backup facilities that run continually and automatically. VMware itself has had an application to backup/replicate virtual machines. However, that application is not free yet.This research has been design and creates a web-based software forbacking up virtual machines on VMware. So it made easier for users and admins to perform periodic backups of virtual machines. From the test results has been done, it can be seen that used disk type thin or zeroed thick make process backup faster, system can’t work well when virtual machine has snapshot, scheduling system and restoring system has worked well, physical ability data storage influence system.Keywords: Virtual machine, virtualization, Vmware, Backup, Data Center.

Polishing is a highly skilled manufacturing process with a lot of constraints and interaction with environment. In general, the purpose of polishing is to get the uniform surface roughness distributed evenly throughout part’s surface. In order to reduce the polishing time and cope with the shortage of skilled workers, robotic polishing technology has been investigated. This paper studies about vision system to measure surface defects that have been characterized to some level of surface roughness. The surface defects data have learned using artificial neural networks to give a decision in order to move the actuator of arm robot. Force and rotation time have chosen as output parameters of artificial neural networks. Results shows that although there is a considerable change in both parameter values acquired from vision data compared to real data, it is still possible to obtain surface defects characterization using vision sensor to a certain limit of accuracy. The overall results of this research would encourage further developments in this area to achieve robust computer vision based surface measurement systems for industrial robotic, especially in polishing process.Keywords: polishing robot, vision sensor, surface defects, and artificial neural networks

Published: February 2017

The sense of safety in public facilities for pedestrians can be shown by the availability of good infrastructure, particularly the building. One of the aspects that can make pedestrians feel comfortable and safe is the availability of evacuation facilities in emergency situation. When a disaster strikes, people would start to panic and this will cause problems, especially during an evacuation.During panic in an evacuation process, pedestrians tend to act blindly and walk randomly and mindlessly. They might follow one another when they get panic. This is called as herding behavior. Regarding the evacuation systems, cellular automata is the basic method used to represent human motion. The movement of pedestrian is an important aspect during an evacuation process and this can be analyzed and implemented by using Cellular Automata. It is a simple method yet it can solve complex problems.Total evacuation time becomes the indicators in measuring the efficiency of this system. The result of comparison method shows that the proposed method could work better in certain conditions. In addition, the results of the experiments during panic and normal situation show similar characteristics especially regarding density aspect, yet evacuation time during panic situation takes longer time. The experiment’s results by using the actual data also has similar tendency with the evacuation time.Keywords: evacuation time, cellular automata, panic behavior, pedestrian

Published: February 2017

The term "Songket" comes from the Malay word "Sungkit", which means "to hook" or "to gouge". Every motifs names and variations was derived from plants and animals as source of inspiration to create many patterns of songket. Each of songket patterns have a philosophy in form of rhyme that refers to the nature of the sources of songket patterns and that philosophy reflects to the beliefs and values of Malay culture. In this research, we propose a system to facilitate an understanding of songket and the philosophy as a way to conserve Songket culture. We propose a system which is able to collect information in image songket motif variations based on feature extraction methods. On each image songket motif variations, we extracted philosophy of rhyme into impressions, and extracting color features of songket images using a histogram 3D-Color Vector quantization (3D-CVQ), shape feature extraction songket image using HU Moment invariants. Then, we created an image search based on impressions, and impressions search based on image. We use techniques of search based on color, shape and aggregation (combination of colors and shapes). The experiment using impression as query : 1) Result based on color, the average value of true 7.3, total score 41.9, 2) Result based on shape, the average value of true 3, total score 16.4, 3) Result based on aggregation, the average value of true 3, total score 17.4. While based using Image Query : 1) Result based on color, the average precision 95%, 2) Result based on shape, average precision 43.3%, 3) Based aggregation, the average precision 73.3%.

Published: February 2017

Deforestration is one of the crucial issues in Indonesia because now Indonesia has world's highest deforestation rate. In other hand, multispectral image delivers a great source of data for studying spatial and temporal changeability of the environmental such as deforestration area. This research present differential image processing methods for detecting nature change of deforestration. Our differential image processing algorithms extract and indicating area automatically. The feature of our proposed idea produce extracted information from multiband satellite image and calculate the area of deforestration by years with calculating data using temporal dataset. Yet, multiband satellite image consists of big data size that were difficult to be handled for segmentation. Commonly, K- Means clustering is considered to be a powerfull clustering algorithm because of its ability to clustering big data. However K-Means has sensitivity of its first generated centroids, which could lead into a bad performance. In this paper we propose a new approach to optimize K-Means clustering using Reinforcement Programming in order to clustering multispectral image. We build a new mechanism for generating initial centroids by implementing exploration and exploitation knowledge from Reinforcement Programming. This optimization will lead a better result for K-means data cluster. We select multispectral image from Landsat 7 in past ten years in Medawai, Borneo, Indonesia, and apply two segmentation areas consist of deforestration land and forest field. We made series of experiments and compared the experimental results of K-means using Reinforcement Programming as optimizing initiate centroid and normal K-means without optimization process.Keywords: Deforestration, Multispectral images, landsat, automatic clustering, K-means.
Modified GTS Allocation Scheme for IEEE 802.15.4
Authors: Darmawan Zakha Maisat Eka , Al Rasyid M. Udin Harun , Sudarsono Amang
Published: February 2017

IEEE 802.15.4 standard is widely used in wireless personal area networks (WPANs). The devices transmit data during two periods: contention access period (CAP) by accessing the channel using CSMA/CA and contention free period (CFP), which consists of guaranteed time slots (GTS) allocated to individual devices by the personal area network (PAN). However, the use of GTS slot size may lead to severe bandwidth wastage if  the traffic pattern is not fit or only a small portion of GTS slot is used by allocated device. The proposed scheme devides the GTS slot and then optimizes the GTS slot size by exploiting the value of superframe order (SO) information. The proposed scheme was tested through simulations and the results show that the new GTS allocation scheme perform better than the original IEEE 802.15.4 standard in terms of average transmitted packets, throughput, latency and probability of successful packets.

Published: February 2017

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has demonstrated great performance in various optimization problems. However, PSO has weaknesses, namely premature convergence and easy to get stuck or fall into local optima for complex multimodal problems. One of the causes of these weaknesses is unbalance between exploration and exploitation ability in PSO. This paper proposes a Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) using nonlinearly decreased inertia weight called MPSO-NDW to improve the balance. The key idea of the proposed method is to control the period and decreasing rate of exploration-exploitation ability. The investigation with three famous benchmark functions shows that the accuracy, success rate, and convergence speed of the proposed MPSO-NDW is better than the common used PSO with linearly decreased inertia weight or called PSO-LDWKeywords: particle swarm optimization (PSO), premature convergence, local optima, exploration ability, exploitation ability.

But, performance BCH Code or Convolutional Code is not good in implementation of OFDM System. Error bits of OFDM system without channel coding is 5.77%. Then, we used convolutional code with code rate 1/2, it can reduce error bitsonly up to 3.85%. So, we proposed OFDM system with Modified Convolutional Code. In this implementation, we used Software Define Radio (SDR), namely Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) NI 2920 as the transmitter and receiver. The result of OFDM system using Modified Convolutional Code with code rate is able recover all character received so can decrease until 0% error bit. Increasing performance of Modified Convolutional Code is about 1 dB in BER of 10-4 from BCH Code and Convolutional Code. So, performance of Modified Convolutional better than BCH Code or Convolutional Code.Keywords: OFDM, BCH Code, Convolutional Code, Modified Convolutional Code, SDR, USRP

Published: February 2017

This paper presents about the transmission of Digital Video Broadcasting system with streaming video resolution 640x480 on different IQ rate and modulation. In the video transmission, distortion often occurs, so the received video has bad quality. Key frames selection algorithm is flexibel on a change of video, but on these methods, the temporal information of a video sequence is omitted. To minimize distortion between the original video and received video, we aimed at adding methodology using sequential distortion minimization algorithm. Its aim was to create a new video, better than original video without significant loss of content between the original video and received video, fixed sequentially. The reliability of video transmission was observed based on a constellation diagram, with the best result on IQ rate 2 Mhz and modulation 8 QAM. The best video transmission was also investigated using SEDIM (Sequential Distortion Minimization Method) and without SEDIM. The experimental result showed that the PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) average of video transmission using SEDIM was an increase from 19,855 dB to 48,386 dB and SSIM (Structural Similarity) average increase 10,49%. The experimental results and comparison of proposed method obtained a good performance. USRP board was used as RF front-end on 2,2 GHz.

The cellular subscribers’s growth over the years increases the traffic volume at Base Stations (BSs) significantly. Typically, in central business district (CBD) area, the traffic load in cellular network in the daytime is relatively heavy, and light in the daynight. But, Base Station still consumes energy normally. It can cause the energy consumption is wasted. On the other hand, energy consumption being an important issue in the world. Because, higher energy consumption contributes on increasing of emission. Thus, it requires for efficiency energy methods by switching BS dynamically. The methods are Lower-to-Higher (LH) and Higher-to-Lower (HL) scheme on centralized algorithm. In this paper propose cell zooming technique  which can adjusts the cell size dynamic based on traffic condition. The simulation result by using Lower-to-Higher (LH) scheme can save the network energy consumption up to 70.7917% when the number of mobile user is 37 users and 0% when the number of mobile user is more than or equal to 291 users. While, Higher-to-Lower (HL) scheme can save the network energy consumption up to 32.3303% when the number of mobile user is 37 users and 0% when the number of mobile user is more than or equal to 292 users. From both of these schemes, we can analyze that by using Lower-to-Higher (LH) scheme reduces energy consumption greater than using Higher-to-Lower (HL) scheme. Nevertheless, both of them can be implemented for energy-efficient method in CBD area. Eventually, the cell zooming technique by using two schemes on centralized algorithm which leads to green cellular network in Surabaya is investigated.

Artike l ini bertujuan menjelaskan peran sistem akuntansi manajemen dalam menunjang pe-laksanaan stra1egi agar perusahaan tetap survire dalam persaingan dan mencapai kine1:ja diatas rala-rata. Sistem akuntansi manajemen ya ng didesain sesuai dengan strategi perusahaan akan  memperlancar   dan  menjaga   kesinambungan  pelaksanaan. trategi  {lihat  Kaplan  (1984),  Palmer  (1992). Atkinson  etc.  (1995)1.  Namun demikian, dalam kaitannya dengan pelaksanaan strategi, akuntansi manajemen tradisional hanya menekankan  pada  biaya  produk5i  dan lalai  memperhatikan  biaya  pemasaran, pengemb angan produk dan ino-vasi teknologi. Dengan kata lain, akuntansi rnanajemen tradisiona/ tidak memperhatikan value chain pemasok dan value chain pembeli. Oleh karena itu, manajemen memerlukan "Sistem Ak untansi Manajemen Strategik" untuk meninjau organism;i secara tepat dan mengetahui posisi persaingannya . Porter (1985) menyarankan cara bersaing dengan me-ngembangkan strategi yang berorientasi pada d(ferensiasi (d!fferentiation strategy) atau berorientasi pada biaya rendah (low cost strategy) atau berorientasi pada fokus (focus slrategy). Tanpa mengabaikan basis d!ferensiasi dan jokus, low cost terhadap pesaing menjadi tema  yang  menjiwai keseluruhan strategi. Dan artikel ini menganalisis penerapan strategi low cost dikaitkan dengan value chain dalam rangka mengatasi akuntansi manajemen tradisional dengan berusaha mengidentifikasi dan mengeliminasi aktivitas yang non-value added activities (aktivitas tidak rnenambah nilai).

Sejarah Republik Indonesia telah cukup tua dilihat dari sisi umur negara ini. Dalam kurun waktu 52 tahun merdeka, pemerintah Indonesia beberapa kali menggunakan sistem kurs valuta asing yang berbeda-beda. Hampir seluruh sistem kurs valuta asing dicoba diberlakukan di Indo-nesia, kecuali Gold Exchange Standard. Oleh karena sistem yang disebut terakhir ini telah dihapuskan segera setelah dunia dilanda depresi ekonomi pada tahun 1930.
TANGGUNGJAWAB AUDITOR UNTUK MEMPERTIMBANGKAN KEMAMPUAN SATUAN USAHA DALAM MEMPERTAHANKAN KELANGSUNGAN HIDUPNYA

Standar Auditing Seksi 341 (dalam Standar Profesional Akuntan Publik) menegsakan tentang tanggungjawab auditor independen untuk mengungkapkan kemungkinan perusa-haan (entitas) dalam mempertahankan kelangsungan hidupnya. Auditor harus mendis-klus apabila dijumpai kesangsian tentang kemampuan satuan usaha untuk mempertahan-kan kelangsungan hidupnya. Kelangsungan hidup satuan usaha dipakai sebagai asumsi dalam pelaporan keuangan sepanjang tidak terbukti adanya informasi yang menunjukkan hal yang berlawanan. Pada umumnya informasi yang secara signifikan berseberangan dengan asumsi kelangsungan hidup satuan usaha adalah berhubungan dengan ketidak mampuan satuan usaha dalam memenuhi kewajibannya pada saat jatuh tempo tanpa melalui penjualan sebagian besar aktiva kepada pihak luar melalui bisnis biasa, restruk-turisasi utang, dan kegiatan yang lain. Pengungkapan kelangsungan hidup (going concern) menjadi sangat signifikan dalam pelaporan audit manakala auditor menjumpai kondisi – kondisi yang mengancam kelangsungan hidup suatu satuan usaha.

Pembuatan keputusan sebagai salah satu fungsi pimpinan yang penting dalam rangka pencapaian tujuan organisasi, mempunyai posisi yang sama pentingnya dengan fungsi-fungsi pimpinan yang lain seperti perencanaan, pengorganisasian, kepemimpinan, koordinasi dan pengawasan. Sebagai suatu proses yang dinamis, pembuatan keputusan harus mempertimbangkan dan memperhatikan dengan seksama kekuatan-kekuatan ling-kungan baik internal maupun eksternal. Suatu keputusan yang baik, proses pembuatan-nya harus berorientasi pada pelaksanaannya. Sebab, jika tidak, ia hanya sekedar men-jadi abstraksi keinginan yang sulit dilaksanakan. Pimpinan perlu menetapkan standar pengukuran, baik kuantitatif maupun kualitatif, untuk menilai sejauh mana keputusan yang telah dibuat membuahkan hasil secara nyata sesuai dengan yang diharapkan.
