Published: May 2017

This study aims to assess and find weaknesses regulation and supervision of market conduct banking financial services, and find weaknesses supervision of market conduct banking financial services in the region of Central Java and offer for solutions. The results show that Financial Service Authority/FSA (known as OJK) Law  and POJK No.01/POJK.07/ 2013 are the governing authority of the OJK under the supervision of market conduct financial services. Until present, BI Law and Banking Law have not set about it. In the future market surveillance authorities conduct financial services under the authority of BI and the OJK, these two institutions share in accordance with the authority given to legislation. Supervision of market conduct banking financial services by the OJK overall is only implemented by the Office of Central OJK. While the OJK in Central Java has new obligations education and service consumer complaints so the protection of consumers of financial services has not been optimally implemented at the Central Java OJK office.

Abstract

At the time of the enactment of Act No. 18 of 2001, there is no specific authority granted to Aceh in natural resource management. Everything related to the management of natural resources in Aceh, authorities still follow the general provisions. So the authority in natural resource management is no different with other provinces in Indonesia. But with the enactment of Act No. 11 of 2006 be another condition, because through tis Act Aceh was given huge authority in managing natural resources which include mining consisting of mineral, coal, geothermal, forestry, agriculture, fisheries, and marine good that exist on land or in the ocean.

Abstrak

Pada masa berlakunya Undang-Undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2001, tidak ada kewenangan khusus yang diberikan kepada Aceh dalam pengelolaan sumberdaya alam. Segala yang berkaitan dengan pengelolaan sumberdaya alam di Aceh, kewenangannya tetap mengikuti ketentuan yang terdapat dalam peraturan perundang-undangan pada umunya. Sehingga kewenangan dalam pengelolaan sumberdaya alam tidak ada perbedaan dengan provinsi-provinsi lainnya yang ada di Indonesia. Tetapi dengan lahirnya Undang- Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2006 kondisinya menjadi lain, karena Aceh diberikan kewenangan yang begitu luas dalam mengelola sumberdaya alam yaitu meliputi pertambangan yang terdiri atas pertambangan mineral, batu bara, panas bumi, bidang kehutanan, pertanian, perikanan, dan kelautan baik yang ada di daratan maupun yang ada di lautan.

Richness of insect galls on shrub-tree restinga of a coastal plain of southern Brazil
Authors: Arriola Ígor Abba , Melo Júnior João Carlos Ferreira de
Published: May 2017

The restingas are coastal ecosystems over the sandy Quaternary plains. Their vegetation present flora and structure conditioned mainly by edaphic factors. They vary from grasslands, shrub lands up to woody forests. Their environmental conditions, such as water stress and high solar irradiance, may be associated to a high richness of galling. This study aims to identify the insect-plant interactions of the gall type, in a shrub-tree restinga formation at the Acaraí State Park, situated in São Francisco do Sul, Santa Catarina State. The surveywas conducted in four plots of 250 x 5 m (5,000 m²) of the PELD/PPBio module, with a sample effort of 32 hours. There were found 56 morphospecies of galls in 31 species of host plants. Lauraceae, Myrtaceae, Melastomataceae, Nyctaginaceae and Calophyllaceae showed the highest number of interactions. Guapira opposita (Nyctaginaceae) and Calophyllum brasiliense (Calophyllaceae) were the major super-hosts. There was a predominance of isolated globoid galls on leaves, induced by Diptera – Cecidomyiidae. Galls on stems were less abundant. The focus of this inventory was restricted to the aerial parts of the plants, which limited the galls records on roots, for which there were records only in adventitious roots of the epiphyte Philodendron surinamense. The richness of galls seems to be proportional to the richness of plant species in this restinga formation.

Authors: Torres Abel R.C. , Santana Ádina L. , Santos Diego T. , Meireles M. Angela A.
Published: May 2017

Background: A recently developed process entitled Supercritical Antisolvent Fractionation (SAF) was recently described for the fractionation of plant extract solutions using supercritical fluids to give two or more fractions containing bioactive compounds with widely differing polarities. An updated overview of SAF of natural products is presented in this article.

Objective: The goal of this work is to show some perspectives about the use of supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) applied to the fractionation of plant extract compounds, such as phenolic compounds, lipids, and carotenoids; among other components, those extracted from seeds, leaves, stems, roots and other parts of the plants are described. The main features and mechanisms of antisolvent techniques that contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of the supercritical antisolvent fractionation (SAF) process are also described.

Method: The influence of various operating parameters, such as, CO2 temperature and pressure, CO2 flow rate, among others, during SAF process on the purification efficiency and particle morphology and the main differences about the patented SAF processes are reviewed.

Results: The various experimental works intend to optimize their processes through adaptations or modifications of equipments that constitute the SAF unit, as the study of process parameters.

Conclusion: SAF process is a technique to produce particles with high yield and purity of bioactive compounds. On the other hand, patents developed using this type of process are very scarce, less attention being given be given to the potential of this technique to purify plant extracts with a very complex content of bioactive compounds.
The Effect of Medical Test to Belief Updating and Willingness to Pay for Health Insurance Premium: Evidences from Laboratory Experiment
Authors: Massardi Restiatun , Adji Artidiatun , Pradiptyo Rimawan
Published: May 2017

Purpose:

The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of the results of medical tests on three health indicators, i.e. blood pressure, cholesterol level, and blood glucose level, for belief updating and willingness to pay for health insurance. Specifically, this study examined whether individuals update their belief on their health status after being informed the results of their medical tests. This study also investigated whether there is a significant difference between the willingness to pay for the individuals who were informed about the results of their medical tests and of individuals who were not informed about the results of their medical tests.

Approach:

This study utilizes laboratory experiments. There are two groups in the experiments: the treatment group and the control group. The individuals in the treatment group receive information on the results of the medical tests which cover blood pressure, glucose level and cholesterol level tests. The individuals in the control group do not receive any information. We compare the willingness to pay between the treatment group and the control group.

Results:

There are significant differences in the value of willingness to pay for health insurance premium based on prior belief (individuals’ belief prior to the medical tests) and on posterior belief (individuals’ belief after the medical tests) between control group and treatment group. Belief updating occurs when there is a difference between prior belief and posterior belief due the presence of an event.

Value:

This work contributes to the better understanding about the individual decision making on health insurance purchase.

Conclusion:

The medical tests on blood pressure, cholesterol level, and glucose level significantly affect the willingness to pay for health insurance premium. There are significant changes in individual’s posterior belief due to the information provided by the medical tests. An individual’s willingness to pay for health insurance premium may change due to a change in his or her health status belief.
Impact of some phytohormones, metabolic inhibitor and agrochemicals on senescing paddy leaves and its relevance to productivity
Authors: Rafath Haseena
Published: May 2017

The influence of hormones viz. Indole acetic acid (IAA), Gibberellic acid (GA3), Cytokinins viz. Benzyladenine (BA), Benzimidazole (BZI), biocides viz. 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), Diathane M-45, Dimecron and metabolic inhibitors viz. Cycloheximide (CHI) and Actinomycin-D (Act-D) on senescence in detached paddy (Oryza sativa L.) leaves was studied under dark and illuminated conditions. Cytokinins were found to be more effective senescence retardants in light than in dark while auxins were effective in light. Biocides proved to be milder senescence retardants. Effective concentration, a concentration away from the ineffective and toxic range, chosen from IAA, GA3, BA, BZI, 2,4-D, Diathane M-45 and Dimecron were 25,100, 5, 100, 25, 1500 and 0.50 ppm respectively. Application of Act-D (inhibitor of mRNA synthesis) with in 15 min after detachment and cycloheximide (inhibitor of cytoplasmic protein synthesis) from the start of the incubation resulted in suppression of peroxidase activity both under light and dark. Catalase activity exhibited an inverse relation with peroxidase activity under both the experimental conditions. It is recommended that attempts must be made in a more sophisticated way to study the changes in activities of different enzymes suspected to be linked with leaf senescence at a deeper level using all modern techniques available so that the exact nature of enzymes, the isoenzymes pattern and their relation with yield can be understood. Such studies may also help in future in manipulating the projects for the improvement of this economically important cereal crop.

Published: May 2017

Bush pepper grown from the lateral branches (plagiotrops) of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) has the advantage of growing as a garden plant without standards for trailing and there is surge in demand for planting materials. An experiment was conducted to standardize suitable rooting conditions for the production of bush pepper in which, potting mixture (soil and vermicompost in 3:1 proportion) and coir pith compost, alone and in combination were evaluated for the rooting and establishment of bush pepper with and without humid chambers. The laterals of black pepper variety Panniyur 1 were used. There were nine treatments with three replications each. After 50 days of planting it was observed that, the largest number of laterals established where coir pith compost in 8 x 5 cm black nursery bags and kept under humid chamber (T2 / 63.3 %) followed by coir pith compost in 19” x 8” transparent LDPE bags, planted the cuttings and tied the mouth for retaining humidity (T8 / 60.8%). In both the cases the planting medium used was coir pith compost. Hence it is inferred that coir pith compost could be used as medium for rooting and establishment of laterals for large scale production of bush pepper.

Impact of leadership on organizational citizenship behaviour, organizational commitment and job performance: An application of leader- member exchange theory
Authors: Chinomona Elizabeth , Mofokeng Teboho
Published: May 2017

The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of servant leadership on organizational citizenship behaviour, organizational commitment and job performance from a Leader- Member Exchange (LMX) perspective. It aims at contributing new knowledge to research constituting servant leadership within the workplace. The aim of the study was to examine in essence, the impact of servant leadership on organizational citizenship behaviour and organizational commitment and the consequential outcome on employee job performance. LMX theory is the theoretical framework that forms the basis on which the study is undertaken. The problem was investigated within the SME sector of Zimbabwe. The study was quantitative by nature and adopted positivism as the research paradigm. 189 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Zimbabwe formed the unit of analysis. The empirical testing of the study’s six hypotheses revealed that the relationships are positive and significant. This implied that servant leadership, organizational citizenship behaviour and organizational commitment have a constructive effect on employee job performance and thus SMEs in general. The study extracts the fundamental impact that servant leadership has on employee behaviour and their performance within the workplace subsequently. While quality LMX relationships are exemplified by mutual trust, respect and commitment, this virtue was employed to assess if it impels a good relationship between servant leadership and employee behaviour and the resulting job performance of employees. The implication is that the general SME sector should encourage their senior employees to embrace a servant leadership style given that it has a positive effect on employee organizational behaviour, employee commitment and job performance subsequently. This is particular important for a country like Zimbabwe that is still developing and therefore relies much on the superior performance of SMEs for sustainability.
Contribution of enterprise risk management and internal audit function towards quality of financial reporting in universities in a developing country
Authors: Wadesango Newman , Mhaka Charity , Wadesango Ongayi Vongayi
Published: May 2017

Quality of financial reporting is limited to issues of compliance to statutory provisions under which state enterprises in Zimbabwe operate, usefulness of the reports produced and their impact on the national fiscus. It is thus measured by way of compliance to these expectations and is indicated by way of a disclosure index signifying the presence of each of the expected aspects. This study therefore sought to establish the contribution of enterprise risk management and internal audit function towards the quality of financial reporting in universities in Zimbabwe. The study adopted a desktop analysis where relevant literature was reviewed. Quality of internal audit function was found to influence quality of financial reporting in that the strength, or quality, of the IAF will contribute to a distinctly different control environment depending on the strength of the good corporate governance in the university. Findings of this desktop research have undoubtedly revealed the gaps in the governance processes in state universities and it is envisaged that a careful analysis of these lacunas will provide a guide in the development of strategies and policy that strengthen state enterprise governance processes. It is hoped that this will help the parent ministry in charge of state enterprises, and, the relevant management of specific state enterprises to determine the magnitude of resources and efforts for implementation of efficient and effective enterprise risk management, internal audit function and corporate governance systems.

DESIGN OF A LOW COST HOUSE USING LOCAL MATERIAL COUPLED TO MECHANICAL -EARTH TUBE VENTILATION SYSTEM
Authors: K. Ghali  , N. Ghaddar  , G. Chehab  , I. Srour
Published: May 2017

The building sector accounts for 50% of the total worldwide energy consumption. This percentage is expected to increase with the population growth and climate change compounding the problem of dwindling in energy resources. One means of mitigating the increase in energy consumption is by relying on natural ventilation systems for thermal comfort purposes and on the applications of natural (as compared to processed and manufactured) and recycled materials in building construction. Nonetheless, the use of natural ventilation systems with energy efficient construction materials and building envelope cannot always ensure thermal comfort conditions throughout the whole year. Additional systems are sometimes necessary to aid in providing continuous thermal comfort, year round. One such system, the Earth to Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE), has been found to have the potential of providing indoor comfort at reduced energy cost. In this paper, different scenarios for natural building materials coupled with an earth tube heat exchanger are investigated with the aim of reducing the operational energy of a typical house in Lebanon. It is found that use of an optimal wall configuration when coupled with the EAHE results in 76.7% energy savings compared to reference case

Microgrid Protection: Technical challenges and existing techniques
Authors: G. Buigues  , A. Dyśko  , V. Valverde  , I. Zamora  , E. Fernández
Published: May 2017

The design of protection systems associated with medium and low voltage networks has traditionally been based on the assumption of unidirectional power flows, making the use of time coordinated overcurrent relays an efficient and reliable way of protecting against network faults. The changes that these systems have undergone over the recent decades regarding distributed generation, along with the fact that many of these sources can be connected to form independent microgrids, have challenged this perspective. A number of alternative solutions have recently appeared in technical literature. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing proposals for protection design in microgrids. Apart from describing the most relevant options presented to date and classifying them in specific groups, a comparative analysis is performed in which the most important benefits and drawbacks of each approach are presented. Finally, some conclusions and practical recommendations are derived from the analyzed references.

Published: May 2017

Renewable energy resourses such as photovoltaic (PV) power and wind power have been installed in power networks as one of the countermeasures for global warming and depletion of fossil fuels. In particular, PV is the most promising of all renewable energy sources in Japan. However, the voltage may be risen due to the reverse power flow by connecting them to the distribution network. As one of the solutions for voltage problems due to the large scale penetration of PV generation, Voltage regulation by SVR (Step Voltage Regulator ) has been expected. In this paper, we examine the optimal allocation and planning of the SVR for stabilizing voltages when PV generators are installed to a large extent into distribution networks. As a result, the voltage deviation can be reduced 84.5% on average with introducing a SVR. The optimal allocations are depended on capacities of PV generators. In addition, the voltage deviations are decreased 2.17% on average in every PV installation plan by replacement a SVR.

Published: May 2017

In this paper, the design, implementation and testing of a prototype for electric energy generation from collecting wasted ambient power sources coming from the mechanic vibrations (Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting PEH) is presented. This prototype has been specifically designed for applications where it is required to connect multiple transducers in order to obtain greater power levels. This design is based on a previous comparative analysis among all the existing auto-harvesting circuits. The prototype has been tested both in laboratory tests as in real field trials on board railway units, with encouraging results. It has been proved that, though achieving power levels of a few milliwatts, its application in the autonomous low-consumption devices powering systems field is a real possibility.
Effects of Environmental and Climatic Conditions on PV Efficiency in Qatar
Authors: F. Touati  , A. Massoud  , J. Abu Hamad  , S.A. Saeed
Published: May 2017

The sensitivity of various solar photovoltaic technologies towards dust, temperature and relative humidity is investigated for Qatar’s environment. Results obtained show that dust accumulation has the great effect on decreasing Amorphous and Mono-crystalline PV’s efficiency than the panel’s temperature augmentation or relative humidity. The study shows that Amorphous PVs are more robust against dust settlement than Mono-crystalline PVs and hence are more suitable for implementation in desert climates like Qatar. It was estimated that 100 days of dust accumulation over Mono-crystalline PV panels, caused the efficiency to decrease by 10%. This limitation makes solar PV an unreliable source of power for unattended or remote devices and thus strongly suggests the challenge of cleaning the panel’s surface regularly or injecting technical modifications. Also, the study assesses how best to operate solar PV plants during peak sunlight hours to optimize production and minimize the sun’s harsh effects.

Published: May 2017

This paper deals with a simplified and meaningful thermal model used to extract the cell temperature of a photovoltaic (PV) module. This model that takes into account the ambient temperature, incident irradiance and wind velocity is calibrated using a complete experimental database. The results of the thermal modeling provide a heat transfer coefficient law that could be implemented into a PV simulation tool. Two key elements of this approach may be highlighted. The results enable to better calculate the solar energy production of a PV module and to predict the energy efficiency of a PV system.

“Big data” is a word to be increasingly mentioned, which is used to describe the coming of information explosion. It also defines the related technology development and innovation. Big data triggers a great revolution. This seems to herald the inescapable process of quantization for all professions including academia, business or government. The trend of big data obviously outdated the conventional means of government administration, hence making its innovation the theme of this age. The innovation faces both opportunities and challenges. Opportunities are that it promotes information transparency and policy making based on population subdivision. For challenges, it may increase the risk of “data dictatorship”, privacy, once being abused, may also lead to preemptive punishment; it is also possible to deepen “the digital divide”. Based on pioneering research, this paper puts forward a new mode of government administrative innovation.

Firms always face a pressure for better performance. A lot of indicators are being studied with respect to their effect on firm’s performance. Banking sector plays a vital role in terms of financing firms for their different projects and future investments. This paper is quite significant as it is targeting the low addressed area of Pakistan. A vital contribution is made by this research in order to understand the relationship of banks and firms and how the firm’s performance is affected by number of banks in relation with firm. It further opens the new horizons of research to investigate this relationship in depth. The bank relationship is remained a topic of interest in developed countries but meagre research was done in developing and emerging markets. This paper attempts to explain the firm-bank relationship and its impact on firm’s performance with the help of OLS regression analysis with robust errors. The data for 180 listed firms is collected from Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE). We use two proxies for bank relationship. A dummy variable is used for bank relations (1 if number of bank relations is more than 5 otherwise 0) and the second variable is actual number of relations a firm is maintaining with banks. Return on asset (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) are used as dependent variables as an indicator of firm performance. It concludes that the number of bank relations do affect firm’s performance significantly but negatively. As far as the bank relation dummy is concern it shows significant relation with ROA but no such relationship with ROE. After investigating the initial relationship, it can be said that bank relations are important for firms but there must be optimal number of banking relations.

On 2016 the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda officially came into force proposing that Governments can work to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all. This study aims to analyze the contribution of Residential Elderly Care Center – RECC to promote SD along with social support in urban centers of megacities. Considering that the current scenario presents: longer life expectancy and increasing numbers of older people; the growing presence of women in the market and the hierarchy of companies making more and more difficult for them to stay at home as well as the failure of public care structure to respond adequately to citizens’ demands new business models are welcome. While the families are getting smaller which removes potential caregivers within them, conversely mobility issues among peripheral areas and public institutions are increasing. Large arrangements for caring can be useful in some contexts, but generally, require commuting from home to the support structure and new public and private investments. The potential reduction of human daily dislocations could improve the environment and life quality in megacities in many aspects: decreasing vehicles CO2 emissions, pollution and the volume of traffic; giving practicality to everyday life of families with dependent members of care and generating new opportunities of small business. In addition, this new residential structures employment might reduce the need to shift the caregivers themselves to their work place, strengthen community bounds and not require immobilization of new properties of the exclusive use for Care centers in highly urbanized areas. The methodology used in this paper is based in the exploratory-descriptive and bibliographical-documentary method. Results of the study are corroborated by a series of complementary research of the authors. Conceptual step-by-step flowchart to assist an entrepreneur to open a RECC is described.

A educação escolarizada tem abordado o corpo humano como fenômeno puramente biológico, um conjunto de sistemas e órgãos do qual se estudam características e funcionamentos, sem abordar aspectos sócio/histórico/culturais que o inscrevem constantemente. Atualmente, os meios de comunicação divulgam muitas informações a respeito do corpo. Elas propõem padrões de aparência que investem na magreza e juventude como sinônimos de saúde, responsabilizando o indivíduo pela administração de seu corpo.Entendendo a escola como um espaço privilegiado no aprendizado de conhecimentos sobre o corpo e seus cuidados, discutimos a necessidade de nela pensarmos o corpo em contínua construção, trazendo neste artigo o relato da experiência realizada em oficinas para estudantes de Pedagogia, cujo objetivo foi desenvolver abordagens complexas à temática da alimentação. Sem a intenção de prescrever novos modelos para o ensino de ciências, acreditamos que com esse tipo de estudo, talvez, possamos contribuir com outras formas de compreensão do corpo, não como acontecimento inevitável e estabilizado na história, mas como efeito das circunstâncias vividas e que pode, portanto, ser criticado e recriado de outras maneiras.Palavras-chave: ensino de ciências – corpo – alimentaçãoBody, food and culture: Discussion and problematization of the contemporary beauty/health standards in science education AbstractSchool education has been teaching the human body as purely biological phenomenon, a set of systems and organs, concerning about its characteristics and functioning, without addressing its socio/historical/cultural.Currently, the media shows a lot of information about the body. Its propose standards of appearance that invest in thinness and youth as synonymous of health, blaming the individual for the administration of his/her body. Understanding the school as a privileged space of learning of knowledges about the body and its care, we discussed the need to consider the continuous body construction, bringing in this article the story of experience held in workshops for students of pedagogy, whose goal was to develop complex thematic approaches to food. Without the intent to prescribe new models for the science education, we believe that thistype of study may be able to contribute with other forms of understanding the body, not as an event inevitable and stabilized in history, but the effect of circumstances lived and which can, therefore, be criticized and recreated in other ways.
