Shareholder composition, corporate governance and their monitoring effects on firm performance
Authors: Mantovani Guido Max , Moscato Gregory
Published: February 2020

The main goal of the paper is to understand if the shareholder composition must be considered as a part of the corporate governance framework or as a monitoring factor, only. A related goal of the paper is to investigate if the shareholder composition is part of the loop connecting corporate governance and corporate performance. We analyze a sample made of 10,520 firms over the years 2006-2015, in 8 European countries having very differentiated governance frameworks, shareholder composition and corporate performance. The paper gives new insights to the current debate on the relations between governance and performance as well as the one on the components of the corporate governance framework. According to our evidence, governance contributes to corporate value by reducing agency in funding, rather than having an impact over returns. Moreover, we give evidence that corporate governance should be considered as a tool contributing to the efficacy of monitoring capabilities of the shareholder composition of equity, but no clear evidence is about the composition of equity to be considered as part of the corporate governance framework.
KRITIK IBN WARRAQ ATAS ORIENTALISME EDWARD SAID: PERDEBATAN EPISTEMOLOGIS MENGENAI ‘TIMUR DAN BARAT’
Authors: Bahri Media Zainul
Published: February 2020

This article tries to describe Ibn Warraq's critique onEdward Said's monumental work, "Orientalism (1979)" in four main areas; Said anti-Western; misunderstanding on Western culture; orientalism and imperialism; and the relationship of Western music with the Eastern world. Based on critical study approach to the two monumental works of thesetwo intellectual figures, the results of the study show that even Said has never "responded" to Warraq's criticism directly, but Said's views and thoughts after his publication of the work "Orientalism", had become a kind of "defense" and "weapons", which counterattacked to his critics. Said's thesis against Warraq's anti-thesis, which later led to synthesis, and likewise the circulation of theory and theoretical criticism, has made a very significant contributionto the development of science. Through a very serious academic debate between Warraq and Said, the perspectives of scientists and people in generalhave become clearer.

Published: February 2020

Now-a-days, electricity has become the most significant part of human life. For this purpose, renewable energy sources as the emergent sources are introduced in the system. In Pakistan, in spite of having abundant renewable sources and favorable climate conditions, there are some remote areas where the extension of national grid is still absent. In this research paper, one of the remote area of Pakistan, Chak 6-DRB, a village of Cholistan, is considered for the hybrid renewable sources. This research has been implemented on HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric and Renewable) software, in which two renewable sources; solar and anaerobic biogas have been implemented in terms of COE (Cost of Energy), NPC (Net Present Cost), costs of different equipment used and then find an optimal size and costs of the system. This HDRP (Hybrid Distributed Renewable Power) system contains anaerobic biogas, and solar system which yield most accurate and inexpensive results and are quite feasible for this remote area. This standalone generation and distribution model is also analyzed through HOMER including sensitivity parameters. In future, this role model of proposed hybrid renewable system would be very effective and helpful for other remote areas of the country for implementation

Published: February 2020

The majority of online comments/opinions are written in text-free format. Sentiment Analysis can be used as a measure to express the polarity (positive/negative) of comments/opinions. These comments/ opinions can be in different languages i.e. English, Urdu, Roman Urdu, Hindi, Arabic etc. Mostly, people have worked on the sentiment analysis of the English language. Very limited research work has been done in Urdu or Roman Urdu languages. Whereas, Hindi/Urdu is the third largest language in the world. In this paper, we focus on the sentiment analysis of comments/opinions in Roman Urdu. There is no publicly available Roman Urdu public opinion dataset. We prepare a dataset by taking comments/opinions of people in Roman Urdu from different websites. Three supervised machine learning algorithms namely NB (Naive Bayes), LRSGD (Logistic Regression with Stochastic Gradient Descent) and SVM (Support Vector Machine) have been applied on this dataset. From results of experiments, it can be concluded that SVM performs better than NB and LRSGD in terms of accuracy. In case of SVM, an accuracy of 87.22% is achieved.

This article discusses Administrative Court’s control function in governance toward implementation of government’s duties. As we know, Administrative Court has its role to resolve any administrative disputes between government and citizens. The aims of this article is to know deeply the competency of Administrative Court after the enactment of Law Number 30 Year 2014 about Government Administration as the law regulates main material sources of state administrative law. This is due to the addition of general principles of good governance’s types to file a tort claim for an unlawful act  committed by government. Moreover, general principles of good governance become a legal instrument for Judges of State Administration Court to review the legality of any decision of State Administration. In the Article 10 Law Number 30 Year 2014 is stated that there are eight types general principle of good governance. However, Judges has a right to look broader and find another types beyond that eight in order to make legal decision. Therefore, Law Number 30 Year 2014 becomes foundation of the main material law of state administrative procedure law. In the other hand, Law Number 30 Year 2014 requires government to publish every administrative decree based on provisions in law and general principles of good governance.

Published: February 2020

The finishing process with the antibacterial agents that protect the environment and human health is gaining importance. This study aims 1) to develop new generation antibacterial finishes using chitosan as a binder for nano-Ag coatings, 2) to determine the applicability of chitosan from shrimp and crayfish for textile production and 3) to contribute to environmentally friendly textile production. Chitosan from shrimp and crayfish wastes were used as adhesive in the binding of nanoparticles to fabric surfaces. The bonding properties of the nano-Ag particles on the fabric surfaces were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. The antibacterial effectiveness of fabrics against Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 were tested according to JIS L 1902-2015 standard. The crayfish and shrimp chitosan formed a colorless film and coated the nano-Ag particles homogeneously on the cotton fabric. Antibacterial activity values were calculated as 3.10 and 5.74 for crayfish and shrimp chitosan coated cotton fabrics and as 5.37 and 5.10 for crayfish and shrimp chitosan+nano Ag coated cotton fabrics, respectively. Chitosan nano-Ag coating which exhibited a good antibacterial activity (99.99% reduction) against E. coli ATCC 8739 can be used in the manufacture of garments such as medical textiles, baby clothes, and underwear. The use of chitosan as a binder can reduce the use of chemicals in textile printing and pigment dying in finishing materials, pollutant discharges and emissions from industrial sources. Also, it presents innovative solutions for the protection of human and environmental health.

Published: February 2020

The work deal on a method for optimisation of 330KV power system load flow which excels other existing methods.This method is called, PRIMAL-DUAL INTERIOR-POINT TECHNIQUE for solving optimal load flow problem. As problems of load-shedding, power outages and system losses have been cause for worries, especially among the developing nations such as Nigeria, hence need for a load flow solution technique, which, this work addresses. Optimisation is achieving maximum of required and minimum of un-required and it is obtained mathematically by differentiating the objective function with respect to the control variable(s) and equating the resulting expression(s) to zero. In 330KV Power System, optimization is maximisation of real power injection, voltage magnitude and cost effectiveness, while minimization of reactive power injection, power loss, critical clearing time of fault conditions and time of load flow simulation.. This work developed a mathematical model that solves load flow problems by engaging non-negative PRIMAL variables, “S” and “z” into the inequality constraint of the load flow problems in other to transform it to equality constraint(s). Another non-negative DUAL variables “” and “v” are incorporated together with Lagrangian multiplier “λ” to solve optimisation. While solving optimisation Barrier Parameter “” which ensures feasible point(s) exist(s) within the feasible region (INTERIOR POINT). Damping factor or step length parameter “α”, in conjunction with Safety factor “”  (which improves convergence and keeps the non-negative variables strictly positive) are employed to achieve result. The key-words which are capitalized joined to give this work its name, the PRIMAL-DUAL INTERIOR-POINT. The initial feasible point(s) is/are tested for convergence and where it/they fail(s), iteration starts. Variables are updated by using the computed step size  and the step length parameter “α”, which thereafter, undergo another convergence test. This technique usually converges after first iteration. Primarily, this technique excels the existing methods as; it solves load flow problems with equality and inequality constraints simultaneously, it often converges after first iteration as against six or more iterations of the existing methods, its solution provides higher power generations from available capacity and minimum system loss. Example, Geregu Power Station on Bus 12 generates 0.1786p.u power from the available 0.2000p.u through the PD-IP tech. as against 0.1200p.u of the existing methods. Also it supplies 0.1750p.u with loss of 0.0036p.u as against 0.0236p.u with loss of 0.0964p.u of the existing methods. This results in 90% generation as against 60% of existing methods. Generation loss is 1.8% as against 80.3% of existing methods and availability loss of 12.5% as against 88.2% of existing. Therefore this method ensures very high system stability.

This research paper is a prospective and retrospective view of the many changes in environmental law dynamics that have occurred in the country of Pakistan over the years. It will take a unique perspective of qualitative methods and attempt to look at the core reasons why the current industrial infrastructure is not conducive for a change towards sustainability. The paper shall put forward a questionnaire that will judge the exact amount of disconnect between the government and the public regarding core environmental issues that Pakistan faces on a daily basis. It will try to debunk the prevalent notion in the small to medium enterprises which is that moving towards sustainability would mean a reduction in production performance and revenue. The laws and their imposition methods shall also be discussed in light of the current affairs of major industrial cities. No natural habitat is safe from the unsustainable practices of the country and it has caused irreparable damage to both land and water bodies of the country. The need to be sustainable is now more present than ever, as Pakistan wants to project a healthy global image to attract investors and businesses into its growing economy. Furthermore health and environmental campaigns also need to gain traction in order to attract more tourism thus in accordance more revenue into the country. This report will act as a fact finding effort from the grass root levels of the industry and will qualitatively explain how much work needs to be done in this regard.

Does Quantum Mechanics Predict the Existence of a Soul?
Authors: Mohammed Hassan Hummadi
Published: February 2020

A person may possess a body-soul duality that is an extension of the wave-particle duality of subatomic particles. Both dualities participate in the element of subjectivism in explaining reality. This element of reality represents the philosophical aspect but has been neglected by contemporary cosmologists, who focus on the results of observation. In this paper, I demonstrate the scientific evidences for body-soul duality and cite the recent discoveries in quantum mechanics and quantum information and conclude that the metaphysics of this duality can be derived from the laws of nature.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips are widely used all over the globe as a repair and strengthening material for concrete elements. This paper looks at comparison of numerous methods to rehabilitate concrete beams with the use of CFRP sheet strips. This research work consists of 4 under-reinforced, properly cured RCC beams under two point loading test. One beam was loaded till failure, which was considered the control beam for comparison. Other 3 beams were load till the appearance of initial crack, which normally occurred at third-quarters of failure load and then repaired with different ratios and design of CFRP sheet strips. Afterwards, the repaired beams were loaded again till failure and the results were compared with control beam. Deflections and ultimate load were noted for all concrete beams. It was found out the use of CFRP sheet strips did increase the maximum load bearing capacity of cracked beams, although their behavior was more brittle as compared with control beam.

There is an increased prevalence of heart diseases in developing countries and continuous monitoring of heart beats is very much important to reduce hospital visits, health costs and complications. The Internet of Things (IoT) equipped with microcontrollers and sensors can give an easy and cost-effective remote health monitoring. We developed a Heart Beat monitoring module based on an android application. The software involved was the Android Application developed using Android Studio, which is the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This app retrieved the data from the open IoT platform thingspeak.com. A highly sensitive Pulse Sensor was used to measure the heartbeat of the patient automatically. An Arduino Uno microcontroller interfaced with a Wi-Fi module ESP8266 used to transmit pulse reading over the internet using Wi-Fi. The heartbeat was displayed on the LCD of the patient in run-time. The heartbeat in beats per minute (BPM) was plotted against time (minutes). A mounted pulse sensor to the patient had monitored the heartbeat and transmitted it in the form of voltage signal to the microcontroller, which converted it back into a mathematical value. The Arduino transmitted the data onto the thingspeak.com portal, where it was plotted on a graph and the values were stored for future assessment. The user of the app was given a things peak API and the channel number as an access code, through which physician or nurse can accessed the patient’s data. IoT based heartbeat module as an android application can provide a convenient, cost effective and continuous remote measurements for heart patients to help physicians and nurses update. This app can reduce the burden of hospital visits or admissions for elderly patients.

Published: February 2020

The paper describes a cellular model of fuel and lubricants cleaning developed by using a filtering material with a complex structure of cells with cylindrical and spherical collectors. It was offered to carry out the correction of moving dirty particles in cells of a filtering material subject to deviations of trajectories of insoluble particles under the external forces concerning trajectory of the dispersive medium in a cell. The constrained motion of polydisperse particles (subject to parietal effects) under perturbed flow of cylindrical and spherical collectors by the dispersion medium has been considered. Modeling efficient purification of motor fuels and oils from mechanical impurities has been carried out with a complex account of the main mechanisms of dispersion phase elimination during filtration. There has been given a diagram of the cellular filtration model with the radii of the filter cell (shell) and collector, the radial coordinates of the particle position, the angular coordinates of the particle position and the boundary screening path, the direction of gravity (acceleration), the velocity vectors of the incoming flow and a particle, the vectors of the radial and tangential velocity. According to the results of solving the differential equation by numerical methods, the boundary trajectory was constructed and the fractional dropout coefficient was found. The results of a computational experiment are illustrated. It has been inferred that considering the deviation when calculating the resistance against the particle motion using Stokes method reduces the filterability of the dispersed phase due to the proximity of the collector. The complexity of numerical methods for implementing a cellular stochastic filtering model based on the finite difference method is noted. It is recommended to consider various mechanisms of restraining the insoluble impurities in the interaction
