Breaking the Chains of Transactionalism: A Village Election without Money Politics in Panggungharjo
Authors: Bayo Longgina Novadona , Santoso Purwo
Published: December 2019

The logic of corruption has seemingly been accepted as a normal part of democratic practices. This article challenges this logic, referring to the successful example of Panggungharjo, a village on the outskirts of Yogyakarta.[1]Without romanticising this village and its experiences, this article seeks to show the decisions and steps necessary for realising change and breaking the chains of transactionalism. Change is only possible if both the supply of and demand for money politics are cut off.  Transformation is only possible when changes occur in supply and demand. In other words, transactionalism can only be avoided in electoral politics when a shift in demand coincides with the stigmatisation of transactional practices.[1]   Administratively, Panggungharjo is part of Bantul Regency. However, it is sociologically a sub-urban part of Yogyakarta City.
Political Machine and Challenger Victory in a Javanese Village Chief Election
Authors: Prasetyo Wegik
Published: December 2019

Political machines are widely evident in Indonesian elections, particularly in the sale of political services and use of clientelistic strategies. However, in several cases candidates have created political machines without buying political services or employing clientelistic strategies. Using a qualitative approach to examine the 2018 village chief election in Ngestiharjo, Yogyakarta, this article explains how electoral challengers can use political machines without buying political services, as well as the reason such challengers and their machines decide not to employ clientelism in their search for electoral victory. The author shows that several factors, including elite fragmentation, candidate recruitment, socio-political networks, and the existence of a shared enemy effectively nullify the buying of political services and the use of clientelistic strategies. This article shows that local village contexts, as well as reliance on social bonds, enable challengers to avoid the transactionalism and clientelism that have long characterised political machines. This is further supported by the ability of a challenger and his socio-political network to exploit the weaknesses of the incumbent.

Pemantauan Kateterisasi Jantung Pada Tindakan Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty Terhadap Pasien Coronary Artery Disease
Authors: Pratiwi Fuji
Published: December 2019

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) merupakan kondisi dimana terjadi penumpukan plak pada arteri koroner yang menyebabkan arteri koroner menyempit. Kondisi ini biasanya disebabkan oleh terkumpulnya kolestrol sehingga membentuk plak pada dinding arteri dalam jangka waktu yang cukup lama yang disebut aterosklerosis. CAD dapat menyebabkan otot jantung melemah, dan menimbulkan komplikasi seperti gagal jantung dan gangguan irama jantung. Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) atau dikenal juga dengan sebutan Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) adalah tindakan minimal invasif dengan melakukan pelebaran dari pembuluh darah koroner yang menyempit dengan balon dan dilanjutkan dengan pemasangan stent (gorong-gorong) agar pembuluh darah tersebut tetap terbuka. Tindakan dilakukan dengan hanya insisi kulit (Percutaneous) yang kecil, kemudian dimasukkan kateter ke dalam pembuluh darah (Transluminal) sampai ke pembuluh koroner dan dilakukan tindakan intervensi dengan inflasi balon dan pemasangan stent (Coronary Angioplasty) agar melebarkan pembuluh darah koroner kembali.

Penelitian ini merupakan studi deskriptif dari laporan kasus seorang pasien dengan usia 70 tahun, laki – laki dengan diagnosa pasien CAD. Pengambilan data angiografi dilakukan langsung dari ruang Kateterisasi Jantung Rumah Sakit.

Berdasarkan hasil tindakan Percutaneous Coronary Intervantion (PCI) telah mampu membuka aliran darah yang mengalami penyempitan untuk dapat menyalurkan darah ke otot jantung. Aliran pembuluh darah diperlihatkan dari hasil Angiografi. Hasil gambaran Angiorgrafi menunjukan perbedaan perubahan penyempitan pada pembuluh darah arteri koroner pasca PCI.

Published: December 2019

Abstract

Education is an attempt to find information that is useful for life. Learning to know something (learning to know) becomes an effort that is done in getting useful knowledge and that is not useful. Knowledge and experience gained are then applied to solve problems that arise and get a change. This mastery of knowledge will lead students to find their true identity and develop their potential. After all these learning processes are passed, a student will be able to adapt to the environment and carry out his role in the community.  Learning outcomes that students will get depend on the contribution of the curriculum that has been made. Therefore, in making a curriculum, it is pursued according to needs, not fragmented and can reflect all aspects thoroughly and contextually. The integrity requires a good character to make it clearer in bringing out a complete person.

Authors: Tong Zelin , Zhu Liya , Zhang Ning , Livuza Lisher , Zhou Nan
Published: December 2019

We explored the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employee creativity (EC), and investigated how employees' perceptions of CSR and EC interact with perceived organizational support. Data from 278 bank employees in Malawi were analyzed using partial least
squares regression. We found that employees' perceptions of CSR were positively related to EC, and that this relationship was mediated by employee engagement. In addition, the moderating effect results showed that when perceived organizational support was high, employees' perceptions of CSR
strengthened their work engagement, which then improved EC. These findings indicate that CSR is an important strategic tool in shaping EC. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Published: December 2019

A governança corporativa é um conjunto de medidas que objetiva aumentar a probabilidade de o investidor garantir o seu retorno, é preciso ter um mecanismo de incentivo e controle para que se minimize a presença de prejuízos causados pelos conflitos de interesse entre gestores e investidores. Como exemplos de mecanismos de governança corporativa podem citar o Conselho de Administração, o Comitê de Auditoria e Conselho Fiscal, que é um órgão fiscalizador independente da diretoria e do Conselho de Administração. A função dos mecanismos de governança corporativa é importante na divulgação das informações das empresas no tempo certo, visto que as informações financeiras desempenham papel relevante em relação ao mercado e aos investidores e o atraso compromete a confiabilidade na organização. Por conseguinte, essa pesquisa se propôs verificar a relação entre audit delay e as características do Conselho de Administração, Comitê de Auditoria e Conselho Fiscal das empresas listadas na B3. Consiste em um estudo descritivo, de caráter documental e abordagem quantitativa. Realizadas nas empresas listadas que possuem Comitê de Auditoria, nos segmentos Novo Mercado, Níveis 2 e 1, no período de 2014 a 2016. Os resultados apontaram relacionamento negativo do audit delay com número de membros do Comitê de Auditoria, com a existência de Conselho Fiscal, com a rentabilidade do ativo e com o porte da empresa. O número de membros do Conselho Fiscal possui significância positiva e ressalta uma relação direta com o audit delay. As variáveis relacionadas ao Conselho de Administração não apresentaram significância com o audit delay.
LIDERANÇA E AUTONOMIA NAS NOVAS FORMAS DE ORGANIZAÇÃO DO TRABALHO: COMPARANDO EMPRESAS DO PORTO DIGITAL DE PERNAMBUCO
Authors: Da Conceição Neto Vera Lúcia , Moura Guilherme Lima
Published: December 2019

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa sobre construção da autonomia no ambiente de trabalho em Novas Formas de Organização do Trabalho (NFOT). Especificamente, analisou como a autonomia dos funcionários se estrutura na relação com os líderes em duas empresas de Tecnologia da Informação (TI), situadas no Porto Digital de Pernambuco. Nas NFOT, a liderança e a autonomia dos liderados são questões centrais das relações interpessoais no ambiente organizacional carregadas de conflitos, poder, contradições, motivações, mediações e busca pela eficiência. A abordagem teórica assume as NFOT como organizações burocráticas, que se distinguem por (supostamente) incorporarem com mais intensidade: flexibilidade; inovação; horizontalização da estrutura; foco em competências; trabalho em equipe; envolvimento e participação dos profissionais (CLEGG; HARRIS;  HÖPFL, 2011; KOVÁCS, 2006). Compreende a liderança como uma proposta de linguagem, propriedade não exclusiva dos líderes formais, espaço de um processo de construção das relações através de negociações, renegociações, reconstruções, ressignificados (HOSKING, 1988; HOSKING; DACHLER, 1995; HOSKING, 2006). A pesquisa foi qualitativa, cujos dados foram obtidos através de vinte entrevistas semiestruturadas, aplicadas a líderes e liderados de duas empresas de TI, e submetidos à Análise Crítica do Discurso (FAIRCLOUGH, 2008). Foi constatado que organizações vistas como NFOT nem sempre são ambientes de estímulo à autonomia. Por outro lado, numa mesma organização, práticas flexíveis da liderança podem coexistir com práticas tradicionais de controle burocrático. O líder tem um papel fundamental, uma vez que sua personalidade pode imbricar na estrutura organizacional um estímulo ao engajamento do poder.
On determining parameters of the returned altimetry signal
Authors: Neiman Yu.M. , Sugaipova L.S.
Published: December 2019

The authors summarize the principle underlying the modern satellite altimetry. Careful analysis of the shape of the reflected signal enables estimating the flight altitude of the satellite altimeter above sea level, and other important parameters of the sea surface in the area under study quite reliably. Important in doing so is the reflected signal power model used. The Brown-Hayne model seems to be the most common one. The values of these parameters are determined from measurements using certain optimization methods. It is especially noted that the problem in question can be successfully solved by methods based on modern theory of artificial neural networks. Numerical experiments using real altimetric data were carried out in MATLAB environment. In this regard, the basic concepts of this theory are described and the possibilities of its use as an effective approximation of any dependence are emphasized. The Levenberg-Marquardt method and the genetic algorithm of artificial neural networks show the same results, but the latter does not require setting initial values of parameters, only limits of their possible change.
Physical properties, proximate composition and antioxidant activities of aerial yam (Dioscorea bulbifera) bulbils grown in Nigeria
Authors: Lawal Adetunji , Akinoso Rahman
Published: December 2019

Aerial yam is a traditional yam species of interest among the local
populations in the tropics because of their nutritional and medicinal
claims. In this study, flours were produced from the two cultivars (Tob2857
and Tob3059) of Aerial Yam Bulbils (AYB) harvested at two stages of
maturation. The color, functionality, proximate composition and bioactive
compounds of flour were assessed. Generally, green AYB flours showed higher
Hunter L* (71.86-73.68) and Whiteness index (66.31-66.92) than brown samples
(Hunter L*, 71.16-72.50; Whiteness index, 62.93-64.64). Bulk density of
green and brown AYB flours varied from 0.69 to 0.74 and 0.73 to 0.77 g/ml,
respectively. Flours of brown AYB showed significantly higher water binding
capacity (135.70-142.36%) than green samples (129.91-129.22%). Carbohydrate
and protein were the main components of AYB flour. The antioxidant indices
(DPPH scavenging activity, ferrous ion chelating activity, and reducing
power) were higher in green AYB flours compared to brown samples and the
values increased with the concentration. Therefore, the high antioxidant
activity profiles of green AYB flours are desirable characteristics in food
products where bioactive composition is of great importance.

Published: December 2019

Introduction.
At the time of the global economies’ recovery from the effects
of fourth major recession after the Second World War, there was a major in­crease
in the unemployment rate that created a sig­nificant existential and public
health challenge

Aim. The aim
of this study was to provide a system­atic review of available research on
effects of unem­ployment on access to health care, and consequen­tially on
health of the population.

Methods.
A systematic search of relevant, peer-re­viewed electronic
databases was conducted to iden­tify systematic reviews, review articles,
original re­search papers and reports for the period of past ten years.

Results.
10.234 results were initially identified, five of which were
included in this review.

Conclusion. Significant number of studies confirms that the unemployed
individuals, due to sometimes limited access to health care, have impaired
health in comparison to the employed population, both in physical and mental
health. Global economic change will have a stronger impact on the health of the
pop­ulation in poor countries, therefore a fair and compre­hensive system of
health care for the unemployed is of paramount importance for the purpose of
preserv­ing the health of the population.

Study of MV-algebras via derivations
Authors: Wang Jun Tao , She Yan Hong , Qian Ting
Published: December 2019

The main goal of this paper is to give some representations of MV-algebras in terms of derivations. In this paper, we investigate some properties of implicative and difference derivations and give their characterizations in MV-algebras. Then, we show that every Boolean algebra (idempotent MV-algebra) is isomorphic to the algebra of all implicative derivations and obtain that a direct product representation of MV-algebra by implicative derivations. Moreover, we prove that regular implicative and difference derivations on MV-algebras are in one to one correspondence and show that the relationship between the regular derivation pair (d, g) and the Galois connection, where d and g are regular difference and implicative derivation on L, respectively. Finally, we obtain that regular difference derivations coincide with direct product decompositions of MV-algebras.

The development of the textile sector is significantly affected by factors such as quality of commune and poviat roads, length of the sewerage network, expenditure on environmental protection, expenditures on innovative activity and on research and development, and costs related to employment and population of working age. The aim of this paper is to determine the attractiveness level of individual Polish regions for the development of the textile sector in relation to five microclimates, which somehow define the most important determinants of the development of this sector of the economy. In order to achieve this aim, the following research methods are used: presentation of statistical data and statistical methods of research. The authors test the research hypothesis that the growth potential of textile industry enterprises is the largest in the most prosperous provinces.
Economic and functional changes in the largest villages in Poland at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century
Authors: Sokołowski Dariusz
Published: December 2019

The article deals with selected aspects of the economic structure and functions of the largest villages in Poland. The main aim of the study is to investigate the diversity and changes that can be observed to have happened since before the fall of Communism in Poland. Large villages with populations exceeding 5,000 inhabitants are located in the same part of the rural–urban continuum as small towns, including many poviat (1) seats. For this reason, they are an interesting comparative category of settlement units. The study was based on a source database from the end of the last century and on contemporary public data from the REGON database. The comparison is based not only on various data, but also uses various research methodologies.
Territorial polarisation of the economy and population distribution in post-Soviet Russia
Authors: Fedorov Gennady
Published: December 2019

Scientists, experts, and politicians have differing views on polarisation and levelling in the development of regions. Many researchers consider polarisation to be an objective process that benefits the country and the region because labour productivity is higher in larger centres. As for social differences, many states (and the European Union as an organisation) redistribute part of their revenue from more prosperous regions to poorer ones using regional budget policies. The article provides useful data on the regional specificity of polarisation and levelling in Russia at macro-, meso-, and microregional levels based on statistical, economic and cartographic analysis. The article shows that in Russia the polarisation of the economy and population distribution strongly prevails over the levelling of regional differences.
Inclusiveness of Urban Land Administration in the City of Lusaka, Zambia
Authors: Lupale Mubanga , Hampwaye Godfrey
Published: December 2019

Many cities in developing countries are experiencing urbanization characterised by the continu-ous proliferation of informal settlements. In the City of Lusaka over 70 percent of residents live in informal settlements. The purpose of this paper is to provide an account of how inclusive land administration is in the City of Lusaka using the perspective of good governance principles. The sample comprised 10 key informants purposively selected from government institutions/ civil society organisations and 60 respondents conveniently drawn from informal settlements. The findings were analysed thematically and using descriptive statistics. The findings show that there is need to create policies and legislation that assists in developing viable, liveable and inclusive townships. Most indicators of the five good governance principles recorded negative responses of at least 60 per cent. Formal urban land development arrangements in the city have not been able to cope with the demands of the majority of urban residents. The study suggests that land and housing policies be revised to serve a broader purpose beyond the provision of shelter in order to suit the dynamic and contemporary needs of specific societies. Further re-search is needed on tenure responsive land use planning in order to understand existing commu-nity dynamics (economic and social support networks) and implement practical changes for tackling informality if Zambian cities and communities are to be sustainable and resilient.
The impact of population displacement due to river bank erosion on the education of erosion victims: a study in jangipur sub-division of murshidabad district, West Bengal, India
Authors: Ghosh Debika , Sahu Abhay Sankar
Published: December 2019

The present research aims to find out whether population displacement due to river bank erosion has any impact on education of the erosion victims of the developing countries or not. To fulfil the objective of the study, 19 erosion affected study units were selected along the banks of the Ganga-Bhagirathi river in the Jangipur sub-division of Murshidabad district, West Bengal. Pearson’s correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed using SPSS software. The result of the study shows that frequency of population displacement due to bank erosion and percentage of child labour are positively and significantly correlated (r = 0.51). A low mean year of schooling has been observed in almost all selected study units. The result of multiple linear regression analysis shows that river bank erosion has an adverse impact on the education of the people living along the river banks.
The unobserved economy and the Dutch national accounts after the benchmark revision 2015

Published: December 2019

In 2018, Statistics Netherlands carried out a general benchmark revision of their national accounts statistics. The base year was 2015. Special attention was paid to the exhaustiveness of the estimates. Among other, these include estimates for illegal activities and tax evasion. In the first step, the main (illegal and off the record) activities that were not included in the regular data sources underlying the national accounts were identified. In the second step, estimates were made for each identified activity, based on the scarce information data sources available, supplemented with assumptions. This paper describes the second step. The value added of illegal activities in 2015 was estimated at 4.8 billion euros, which is 0.7% of gross domestic product (GDP). The explicit adjustment for tax evasion was about 3.9 billion euros, which is slightly <0.6% of GDP.
Determinants of foreign direct investment from EU-15 Countries in Poland
Authors: Cieślik Andrzej
Published: December 2019

During the last two decades, Poland has become a large recipient of inward foreign direct investment (FDI). This article uses standard panel data techniques to study empirically the determinants of inward FDI in Poland during the period 1996–2015 made by multinational enterprises coming from the old European Union (EU)-15 member states. The estimated specification is derived from the knowledge-capital (KC) model and includes two types of capital: human and physical. The assembled empirical evidence points to the horizontal motive as the primary reason for undertaking FDI in Poland by multinational firms based in the old EU-15 member states. Moreover, the KC model does not seem to explain better the pattern of inward FDI in Poland compared to the standard ad hoc gravity model of international capital mobility.

Identifying the pool-point bar location based on experimental investigation
Authors: Maatooq Jaafar S. , Hameed Luay
Published: December 2019

Morphological relationships of meander evolution in terms of hydraulic and geometric characteristics are essential for river management. In present study, an experimental based study of meander evolution was employed to develop a prediction formula for identifying the pool-point bar location by using the dimensional analysis technique and multiple nonlinear regressions. Through the experimental work on a race of the non-uniform river sand, a set of experimental runs have been carried out through combining different hydraulic and geometric parameters to produce different empirical conditions that have a direct impact on the pool-point bar location. Based on the experimental observations and measurements, the variation in pool–point bar locations could be interpreted to that the hydraulic and morphologic properties through the meander evolution were varied during the time causes the variations in the patterns of the pool-point bar formations accordingly. The developed formula was verified by using another set of the experimental data and tested with three statistical indicators. The predicted results indicated that the proposed formula had high reliability for practical estimation of the pool-point bar location. This reliability was tested by the statistical indicators, where the less values have been resulted for bias and mean absolute error (MAE), 0.0004 and 0.0110 respectively, whereas the higher values 0.935 and 0.930 are achieved for the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) and the determination coefficient R2, respectively.

Published: December 2019

The purpose of the presented research is to analyse possible methods of thickening of the Microcystis aeruginosa (Kützing) Kützing cyanobacteria using the obtained concentrate as a biomass for the production of energy carriers and biologically valuable substances. Method of cyanobacteria thickening under the action of electric current and in the electric field, as well as the method of coagulation–flocculation and gravity thickening, was experimentally investigated in labscale conditions. Electrical methods didn't show positive results for the Microcystis aeruginosa thickening, despite the reports of their potential efficiency in a number of previous studies. The high efficiency of the method of coagulation– flocculation and gravity thickening of Microcystis aeruginosa suspensions was obtained. The optimum concentrations of industrial polymeric coagulants and flocculants for the thickening of Microcystis aeruginosa suspensions were defined in the range of about 10 ppm for the coagulants and about 1 ppm for the flocculants. Negative effect of the previous cavitational treatment of the diluted suspensions of Microcystis aeruginosa on the effectiveness of the coagulation–flocculation and gravitational thickening was confirmed experimentally. Hydrodynamic cavitation should be recommended to use after the thickening as the next step of processing of concentrated suspensions of Microcystis aeruginosa to achieve maximum extraction of energy carriers and biologically valuable substances.
Obtaining the Factors Affecting Bioeconomy

Published: December 2019

At the scientific level it is being increasingly recognised that the concept of bioeconomy has transdisciplinary nature, but there is still no consensus on key factors that would accelerate the development of sustainable bioeconomy. Therefore, within the framework of this study, certain factors, their interactions and link strength with bioeconomy from a scientific perspective are identified. A bibliometric analysis method is used to achieve this aim in such a way that the keyword information on the published scientific literature in relation to the bioeconomy is translated into quantifiable data. This way the relevance of the bioeconomy factors and the strength of their direct and mutual interaction with the bioeconomy will be determined. From this study it can be concluded that the strongest links with bioeconomy are for biomass, bioenergy, biotechnology and innovations. No significant link was found for such factors as: behaviour, production, pollution and infrastructure. It becomes clear that, in the view of scientists, the decisive role in the development of the bioeconomy resulting from the use of bio resources in the higher value-added production is for technologies. These results are used to build a framework for a system dynamics model that can be used for modelling bioeconomy development scenarios in the future.
