Las empresas familiares representan la mayoría de las organizaciones en México y participan en una gran variedad de industrias. Las hay de todos tamaños, incluso dentro de las más grandes del país. En la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (BMV), el 70% de las empresas que emiten acciones son familiares (Belausteguigoitia, 2012). Se han realizado investigaciones en diversos países que comparan los rendimientos entre empresas familiares y no familiares (Villalonga y Amit, 2006). Faltaba en México un estudio comparativo de esta índole, que permitiera conocer el desempeño de las organizaciones familiares. Este trabajo ofrece un valor adicional, ya que compara los rendimientos durante años de crisis y estabilidad. Los resultados preliminares indican que durante años de relativa inestabilidad financiera (por la crisis de 2008), las organizaciones familiares muestran un rendimiento significativamente mayor que las no familiares, mientras que en años de estabilidad los rendimientos tienden a ser semejantes. Además de exponer resultados pormenorizados durante este período, se plantean algunas hipótesis que explican el hecho de que las organizaciones familiares se desempeñen mejor en tiempos de crisis.

Pesquisas com sementes de espécies nativas ainda são escassas, sobretudo do que se diz respeito às condições ideais de germinação de algumas espécies, como a Ficus adhatodifolia, onde os poucos estudos são relacionados com as interações ecológicas da espécie (polinização). Considerando isso, o objetivo desse trabalho foi verificar a porcentagem de germinação de sementes de F.adhatodifolia armazenadas por mais de dois anos no Laboratório de Sementes da UNESP/Botucatu/SP. Para isso, utilizamos oteste de germinação proposto nas Regras de Análise de Sementes.A porcentagem de germinação após dois anos e meio de armazenamento foi de 68,8% e verificamos uma diminuição de aproximadamente 12% quando comparamos este resultado com o teste de germinação realizado logo após a coleta das sementes. Mesmo assim, testes de germinação devem ser realizados com sementes armazenadas por mais tempo visando verificar quanto tempo de armazenamento as sementes de F. adhatodifolia podem suportar sem perder seu vigor.

Os plasmocitomas são tumores benignos de plasmócitos, acometendo mais comumente os dígitos e o pavilhão auricular. Macroscopicamente apresentam-se como nódulos dérmicos ligeiramente aumentados, podendo ser únicos ou disseminados, mas pequenos, cobertos por pele alopecica que, ocasionalmente, pode estar ulcerado. Acomete cães mais velhos, e são raros em gatos. A maioria dos plasmocitomas cutâneos são lesões benignas, e a excisão cirúrgica geralmente é curativa. O presente estudo relata um caso de plasmocitoma canino, diagnosticado tanto pela citologia como pela histopatologia, com morte do animal por comprometimento de outras vísceras, especialmente estômago, que rompeu devido ao comprometimento de sua parede, com hemorragia e choque hipovolêmico.

Instructional Technologies and Educational Environments are tools that together improve academic performance and facilitate student learning, favorably impacting the ability to instruct without the presence of a teacher. However, these potentialities are not always taken advantage of maximum to achieve an effective learning process. In this article, a diagnostic evaluation of a Bachelor's educational program is presented, based on an evaluation instrument that was developed to evaluate the quality of an online educational program. The phenomenological method guided this research because it explored how teachers perceive the educational program in the aspects of instructional technology and learning environments. The purpose is to identify the strengths and weaknesses that the educational program shows because it is a program designed for face-to-face modality. Most of the findings found are weaknesses and it is attributed to the fact that the program was designed for face-to-face modality, which implies that work should be deal with the indicators that have been weak to improve their quality. The use of the results will be of great importance to make decisions and improve the quality of the program to be taught in virtual mode.

Published: May 2021

It is intended to find learned cultural characteristics, related to genders, susceptible to transform learning for labor equity. By promoting equitable conditions at work, equitable gender participation is promoted in the automotive production sector, a job niche occupied by men. A verification instrument is applied for a descriptive qualitative research with the non-experimental method of interviews with five experts from the productive sector, to investigate on active workers in companies in the automotive sector. The results show different topics of gender learning such as: the behavior of women in jobs that were exclusive to men, investigating the relationships between power and authority regarding gender roles, skills and behavior patterns; mixed work teams; gender role learning: practical advice to be competitive; empower in informal education; strategies for the change of paradigms to obtain labor and political power; attributes of learned roles; differences between power and authority and leadership attributes to empower women, in equality with men. The verification instrument includes types of power, to identify informal keys to empowering women in the labor market and thus access decision-making positions.

The National Survey on Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco, 2016-2017, notes that 15.6 million Mexicans are active smokers and, by 2030, expect the death of 8 million cancers of the larynx or lung. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends detecting precancerous lesions of the larynx. This is possible, as they are characterized by a biomarker pattern manifested by the alteration of the biomechanical interpretation of the vocal cords, regardless of the sex and age of the smoker. The goal of this article is to evaluate three machine learning methods: neural networks, Gaussian networks, and decision tree to determine the method that best solves the problem of detecting patterns of precancerous vocal cord injury biomarkers. It uses the WEKA tool and a knowledge bank, endorsed by NOM-012-SSA3-2012, with 250 patterns, and provided by the Luis Guillermo Ibarra National Institute of Rehabilitation, Ibarra. The performance of the methods was compared by ROC curves and confusion matrices, under the criteria established by ISO-5725. The decision tree the method that best responds to the detection of patterns of biomarkers of precancerous lesions of the vocal cords.

Frame Value of Strategic Management Accounting Based on The Balance of Tri Kaya Parisudha
Authors: Susilawati Made , Ludigdo Unti , Irianto Gugus , Baridwan Zaki
Published: May 2021

Objective - Hinduism presupposes all life activities. This includes Strategic Management Accounting (SMA) which could maintain life's equilibrium by practising the goal of life suggested by the Tri Kaya Parisudha (TKP). In general, SMA does not have a framework of reference for accountants to manage functions and to contribute to decision making. In that regard, this paper aims to develop a frame value for SMA based on the cooperatives noted in the Hindu orientation of the TKP.

Methodology/Technique - The method employed to analyze data is the combined development of grounded theory(GT) and intersubjective analysis. The frame value for SMA consists of three elements of manacika(center of strategic thinking) followed by wacika and kayikaas noted in the dharma of the TKP.

Findings - The findings show that the synergy of the framework is based on mind control (manacika) which impacts on wacika and kayika in SMA. This synergy impacts on the equilibrium between materials (sekala) and non-materials (niskala) in the dharma for the purpose of reaching the goal synergy.

Novelty - The combination of the intersubjective approach and the GT approach helps to uncover the correlation patterns of the core category noted in the establishment of the SMA's value framework. This is derived from the TKP's equilibrium through the story line.

Re-evaluating the Definition of Intelligence in Business Intelligence
Authors: Ackermann Martin Daniel , van der Poll John Andrew , van der Poll Huibrecht Margaretha
Published: May 2021

Objective - Business Intelligence has little bearing with graphs and dashboards of traditionally defined Business Intelligence. Rather it is all about experience and sound judgement of the person at the helm of the decision-making process. In line with this view, we evaluate and subsequently, reposition the current definition of Business Intelligence in the literature.

Methodology/Technique - The initial development of the data, information, knowledge and wisdom (DIKW) hierarchy excluded intelligence and so it never questioned the accepted definition of Business Intelligence. The extended DIKIW hierarchy includes intelligence but we raise the question about the definition of intelligence in Business Intelligence. This paper positions the existing definition of Business Intelligence as Business Information instead, and so, it redefines traditional Business Intelligence.

Findings – Applying the DIKIW hierarchy, the new definition of Business Intelligence is shown in equation as the transformation of "Business Data to Business Information to Business Knowledge to Business Intelligence to Business Wisdom".
Novelty - The impact of the new definition of Business Intelligence is that it changes its meaning from one that belongs to information science into one that is a human behavioural science and profiling concept. It does not do away with the existing work in literature but it redefines Business Intelligence as belonging to the realm of Business Information.

Type of Paper - Review

Published: May 2021

Due to the increase in population and industrialization growth, most countries in the world depend on groundwater to meet agriculture demands for food production. The increase in water contamination due to indiscriminate solid wastes has necessitated the assessment of water quality and its suitability for agricultural usage. Twenty four groundwater and ten stream water samples were randomly collected from the downslope and upslope side of the dumpsite for all the major physio-chemical parameters. The pH of water samples indicates slightly acidic to alkaline in nature. High concentrations of nitrate, total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity suggest the impact of the waste on the water resource. Assessment of irrigation water quality based on Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Soluble Sodium Percentage (SSP), Permeability Index (PI) and Magnesium content (MC) indicated that most of the water samples fall within the permissible standard for irrigation water. Thus, the water should be used with caution on crops for long time agricultural sustainability.

Published: May 2021

Due to population explosion, the forest of Nigeria like most tropical forest is over exploited for choice traditional species. Therefore, need to investigate species that can substitute the species arise. Five trees of Aningeria robusta were harvested from Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria. Bolts of 50cm length were obtained at the base, middle and the top; radial strips also obtained for innerwood, middlewood and outerwood. Ten test specimens of dimension 12mm x 15mm x 25mm were obtained per zone. N-hexane heartwood extracts of a 30 year old Gliricidia sepium diluted with kerosene using volume by volume method into 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% was used. Quantitative characterizations of fungi inoculated and uninoculated wood blocks were determined. The wood blocks were immersed in the extract for 48 hours prior subjection to Lentinus sajor-caju and Trichoderma viride for sixteen. Samples were laid in split plot and factorial experimental designs for the uninoculated and inoculated respectively. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and descriptive statistics. Mean proportion of vessel, fibre and ray before inoculation are 16.89%, 59.08% and 23.74% respectively. Sources of variance had significant effect on the properties at 5% probability level. There was a general reduction in all the anatomical properties after inoculation with the fungi strains. The fungi used, concentration levels adopted, sampling heights involved and radial position had significant effect on the anatomical properties after inoculation with the fungi. Conclusively, the bio-preservative could not prevent fungal growth on the anatomical properties; it could only reduce it.

Authors: Drastichová Magdaléna , Filzmoser Peter
Published: May 2021

This work focuses on the evaluation of the factors of quality of life in a sample of 26 countries. Quality of life is a complex, multidimensional concept, which includes various social, cultural, economic, political, demographic and environmental aspects. Regarding this, principal component analysis and regression analysis were chosen as relevant methods to analyse relationships among twenty-five variables related to quality of life, and their rela-tionships with three composite indices reflecting crucial aspects of quality of life, wellbeing and sustainability. These indices, applied as the response variables in the regression analysis, include the inequality-adjusted alter-native of the Human Development Index (IHDI), the Happy Planet Index (HPI), and Healthy Life Years (HLY). The IHDI represents an objective indicator of human development and wellbeing. HLY reflects quality of life in terms of health. The HPI combines the ecological efficiency with which human wellbeing is delivered, while it also includes a subjective measure of wellbeing. Since each of these indices represent different aspects of quality of life to a certain extent, some of the factors (represented by selected indicators) affected them in different ways. After applying a Lasso regression, nine of the 25 indicators – representing crucial factors of quality of life – were identified. Homicide rate (representing the factor of safety) affected all three indices in a negative way, whereas Years in education (representing the factor of education) and Life satisfaction – a subjective indicator of wellbeing representing the dimension of the same name, affected them positively.

The objective of the paper is to:

analyze and assess assumptions which determine the functioning of the category of management;
identify the criteria and assumptions of integrated sustainable development management.

The hypothesis: Integrated sustainable development management requires:

Necessary conditions: the verification of the institutional solutions which function between the category of sustainable development and development concepts based on sustainability and unsustainability and between these concepts and management.
Sufficient conditions: the decision-making will in accepting this verification, its assumptions and criteria, including the rules of universal procedures.

Final conclusion: Limiting the paradigm of consent, based on the paradigm of deregulation and institutional solutions, which limit creative decisions.

Currently, there is a tendency to apply nature-based landscape components as an important element in decentralised stormwater management, an essential part of sustainable urban development. The term blue-green infrastructure (BGI) is now used for many planning solutions of sustainable cities. Using thematic analysis of 27 studies and documents between 20062019, we identified 6 types of approaches to BGI. We then reclassified the six observed approaches into three basic categories of conceptual approaches to BGI. We distinguished four basic guidelines for the development of science and practice, aimed at promoting of an integrated concept of BGI to support multidisciplinary planning of sustainable cities. Based on the benefits of BGI presented in studies and documents, we show the importance of BGI from the perspective of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the dry matter and organic Ingredients of Kampung Super chicken which was given fermented corn straw (JJF) as a substitute for rice bran in the ration. This experimental research used a completely randomized design (CRD), with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment of this research was P0 (control) = basic ration containing 20% bran., P1 = basic ration containing 15% bran + 5% JJF., P2 = basic ration containing 10% bran + 10% JJF., P3 = basic ration containing 5% bran + 15% JJF., P4 = basic ration contains 20% JJF. The parameters observed were the dry matter and organic matter content of Kampung Super chicken. Analysis of variance was used for data analysis. The results showed that the addition of JJF did not affect (P 0.05) the dry matter and organic matter content of Kampung Super chicken meat. Fermented corn straw as a substitute for rice bran up to 20% in the ration does not have a significant effect on dry matter and organic matter of super native chicken meat and can be used as a substitute for bran in the ration.

This study aims to determine the prevalence of trematodiasis in goats in Paguat and Randangan sub-districts, Pohuwato district in October-November 2019. Sampling was carried out proportionally randomly with a 90% confidence level of a population of 2966 tails at the village level. Faecal samples are collected through the rectum by rectal palpation and some are taken shortly after the defecation goat. Inspection of samples using native, depositional and floating methods. The results of the study were obtained from 93 goat faecal samples taken in Paguat District, 17 samples were found Trematoda worm eggs, while in Randangan District from 94 goat faecal samples were taken, as many as 14 samples were found Trematoda worm eggs. Thus the prevalence of trematodiasis in goats in Paguat District was 18% and Randangan District was 15%. The prevalence of Trematodiasis in Paguat District was obtained through negative examination of 4%, deposition of 9%, and floatation of 5%, while the prevalence of Trematodiasis in Randangan District was obtained through native examination of 5%, deposition of 7%, and floatation of 3%.

This study aims to determine the performance of super native chickens fed with fermented sago dregs as a substitute for corn in the ration. Super native chickens used in the study were 80 chickens. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment in this study was P0 (without a mixture of fermented sago dregs), P1 (rations with an additional 10% fermented sago dregs), P2 (rations with an additional 20% fermented sago dregs), P3 (rations with an additional 30% fermented sago dregs). The variables observed were ration consumption, body weight gain and ration conversion. Based on the analysis of variance, it showed that dietary consumption was not significantly differed (P0,05), while body  weight gain and diet conversion were significantly differed (P0,01). Therefore, the use of fermented sago dregs in the ration of super native  chickens can significantly affect body weight gain and ration conversion up to the level of 20%.

Nigeria shook off the British political hegemony and became an independent sovereign state in 1960. Soon after the independence, the nation-building process started in its full swing. The leaders who took over the mantle of power from the British overlords aimed at resolving many conflicting issues and crises but from various political and economic challenges the nation is plunged into, it is evident that the country has not been fortunate to have leaders who can be exhibiting the type of leadership that could command patriotism from followers. The paper focuses on the problems inhibiting nation-building in Nigeria and the types of leaders Nigeria have had. The work further offered useful suggestions that could help in building a virile, stable and viable, and developed nation.

Published: May 2021

Introduction: We established reference intervals for serum lipids in an apparently healthy adult population of Ambalappuzha North Grama
panchayath in Alappuzha district of Kerala.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 447 apparently healthy individuals of both sexes aged between 18-75 years who attended a
health camp organized by the Department of Biochemistry, Government T.D. MedicalCollege in association with the Ambalappuzha North Grama
Panchayath.Samples were analyzed in a Beckman Clinical chemistry analyzer. Mean, standard deviation, median,90% condence limits for
th th th median and central 95 percentile were calculated. The 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles formed the lower and upper reference limits of population.
Statistical analysis was done using SPSS ver.16 software.
Results:Reference interval for Total cholesterol was 132.2-262 mg/dl, for HDL-cholesterol 28.2-62 mg/dl ,for LDL-cholesterol 66.2-175 mg/dl,
for triglyceride 65-218.8 mg/dl, for VLDL 13-43.8 mg/dl and Total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio 2.67 – 6.4.Reference intervals for Total
cholesterol,LDL-cholesterol and Triglyceride were higher than the desirable limits suggested by NCEP ATP III guidelines and the reference
intervals established by many studies. There was a gradual increase in these parameters with age up to 60 years. The reference intervals for HDLcholesterol were lower in both males and females. Total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were higher in females compared to males.
Conclusion:There exists difference in reference intervals for various populations and hence there is a need for more population studies so that
reference ranges for lipid parameters can be established which will help in better health care.
