Error or Fraud? The Effect of Omissions on Management's Fraud Strategies and Auditors' Evaluations of Identified Misstatements
Authors: Hamilton Erin L. , Smith Jason L.
Published: April 2020

Using experiments with 58 corporate managers and 215 auditors, we examine whether managers attempt to reduce the perceived intentionality of their fraudulent misstatements by perpetrating fraud via omission, as opposed to a more active form of commission, and how auditors evaluate the resulting misstatements. We find that managers choose to omit a transaction from the financial statements rather than record a transaction inappropriately. They also choose to omit critical information from supporting documents rather than provide misleading information. However, auditors generally believe misstatements involving omissions are unintentional. Specifically, we find auditors are less skeptical of an omitted transaction compared to a misrecorded transaction. They are also less skeptical of a misstatement that results from management omitting information from a supporting document compared to misrepresenting information. Overall, our studies identify a method of fraud—omission—that managers are likely to use, but that auditors are unlikely to judge as being intentional.
On the Economics of Mandatory Audit Partner Rotation and Tenure: Evidence from PCAOB Data
Authors: Gipper Brandon , Hail Luzi , Leuz Christian
Published: April 2020

We analyze the effects of partner tenure and mandatory rotation on audit quality, pricing, and production for a large cross-section of U.S. public firms during 2008–2014. On average, we find no evidence that audit quality declines over the tenure cycle and little support for “fresh-look” benefits provided by the new audit partner. Audit fees decline and audit hours increase after mandatory rotation, but then reverse over the tenure cycle. We also find evidence that audit firms use “shadowing” in preparation for a lead partner turnover. These effects differ by competitiveness of the local audit market, client size, and partner experience. When multiple members of the audit team commence work at a new client, the transition appears to be more disruptive and more likely to exhibit audit quality effects. Our findings point to costly efforts by the audit firms to minimize disruptions and audit failures around mandatory rotations.

Penalties for Unexpected Behavior: Double Standards for Women in Finance
Authors: Bloomfield Robert J. , Rennekamp Kristina , Steenhoven Blake , Stewart Scott
Published: April 2020

We present 179 investment professionals with a scenario that manipulates whether a male or female analyst persists in pitching a stock pick after it has been voted down. Respondents evaluate analysts as less promotable when they do not persist, but only if the analyst is female. Results are consistent with categorization theory, which suggests that evaluators rely on stereotypes to interpret unexpected behaviors. In male-dominated settings, the same unexpected behavior may be perceived as evidence of a “lack of fit” in evaluations of women, but nondiagnostic in evaluations of men. Analysis of free-response questions confirm that the unexpected behavior was a predominant focus in performance evaluations of women, but not for men. Semi-structured interviews with 13 senior investment professionals provide additional support for the role of expectations and categorization heuristics on promotion decisions. Our findings shed light on factors that may contribute to the investment industry's “leaky pipeline” for women.

Macroeconomic imbalance procedure (MIP) scoreboard indicators and their predictive strength of ?multidimensional crises?
Authors: Biegun Krzysztof , Karwowski Jacek
Published: April 2020

Research background: The evaluation of the predictive strength of MIP indicators in relation to crises is extremely important for the process of coordinating the economic policies of the EU countries. MIP is one of the pillars of the economic crisis prevention procedure. Predictive power of individual indicators has not been tested before their introduction.
Purpose of the article: Evaluation of the predictive strength of fourteen MIP indicators in relation to multidimensional crises in the EU countries.
Methods: We used ordered probit model to test the ability of MIP indicators to correctly predict episodes of ?multidimensional crises? (as defined by the authors) in the period between 2008 and 2017 in all EU Member States.
Findings & Value added: We defined ?multidimensional crises?, combining several negative phenomena into one limited dependent variable. This work is also novel in its application of probit regression to test the predictive strength of MIP indicators with an ordered probit model. We identified five MIP variables which were statistically significant in predicting ?multidimensional crises? for all EU countries: net international investment position, nominal unit labour cost index, house price index, private sector credit flow and general government gross debt. Other variables turned out to be less important or not effective in crises prediction.
Characteristics identifying the companies conducting different dividend policy: evidence from Poland
Authors: Pieloch-Babiarz Aleksandra
Published: April 2020

Research background: Dividend policy has been a subject of many scientific studies. Although most of them focus on its determinants, there is still a research gap concerning the lack of comprehensive research on the differences between companies implementing different types of dividend policy. Furthermore, no at-tempt has been made to indicate which of them could be considered as more attractive for stock market investor that invests in dividend stocks.
Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to carry out a comparative analysis of companies with different dividend policy from the point of view of their investment attractiveness.
Methods: The empirical research is conducted among the regular dividend payers listed on the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange in years 2001?2017. The data for analysis is collected from Notoria Service and Stock Market Yearbooks. The main calculations are carried out using the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance ANOVA with Fisher?s LSD test.
Findings & Value added: The value added of this paper is a holistic approach to comparison of companies conducting different dividend policy. The most significant differences are observed in case of extreme and residual dividend policy. The first policy should be of particular interest to investors investing for dividends, while the second one should be attractive to investors that invest for capital growth. The research is valuable due to the lack of academic studies concerning different dividend policy in the context of attractiveness of investing in dividend shares.
Sequestro de carbono
Authors: Schinato Franco
Published: April 2020

A Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Canoinhas (BHRC) ocupa uma superfície de 1.663km², representando cerca de 16% da área do Planalto Norte Catarinense (PNC). Esta região era originalmente coberta por ecossistemas naturais com predomínio da Floresta Ombrófila Mista (FOM), uma das formações do bioma Mata Atlântica. A Mata de Araucárias apresenta elevados níveis de biodiversidade e alta capacidade de produção de biomassa florestal, sendo que sua ampla abrangência resulta em grandes reservatórios de carbono. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a distribuição espacial do estoque de carbono na BHRC. Para isto foram gerados mapas de cobertura e uso dos solos da BHRC, utilizando imagens satelitais de média resolução espacial dos anos de 2006, ano de instauração da Lei da Mata Atlântica, e de 2014. A determinação dos estoques de carbono das coberturas foi realizada por meio de revisão de literatura científica. Finalmente, estes materiais foram utilizados para gerar mapas de distribuição espacial de estoque de carbono. Como resultados se verificou que as áreas com vegetação nativa aumentaram 7.290 hectares, representando uma variação de 11%. As superfícies de produção florestal com espécies exóticas aumentaram 950 hectares (8,5%), com diminuição no uso de espécies do gênero Pinus, e aumento de 519% nas áreas com espécies do gênero Eucalyptus. Com base nas informações geradas se pode evidenciar o papel dos dispositivos legais para conservação da vegetação nativa, bem como identificar as principais áreas de armazenamento de carbono na BHRC. O uso de técnicas de sensoriamento remoto se apresenta como uma ferramenta importante para análises espaciais de Serviços Ecossistêmicos (SE).

Filosofía nietzscheana de la tensión: la re-sistencia del pensar
Authors: Cragnolini Mónica B.
Published: April 2020

RESUMENLas interpretaciones de la filosofía de Nietzsche en términos de un irracionalismo sin fuerza crítica o de un superracionalismo sin fuerza afirmadora, resultan formas  de posiciones extremas (algo que Nietzsche rechazó expresamente en su concepto de «nihilismo decadente») que no tienen en cuenta la peculiar «tensión» que se produce entre el «si» afirmador y el «no» crítico en este pensamiento. En este trabajo se destaca el carácter tensional de la filosofía nietzscheana desde diversos puntos de vista: la interpretación de la voluntad de poder como «razón imaginativa», la idea del «yo en tensión» en el concepto de Zwischen, la interpretación del  instante en el pensamiento del eterno retorno.PALABRAS CLAVENIETZSCHE-NIHILISMOABSTRACTThe interpretations of Nietzsche´s philosophy in terms of an irrationalism without ciritcal forcé or a superrationalism without affirmative forcé, become extreme positions (something that Nietzsche expressely rejected in his concept of «decadent nihilism» that do not take into consideration the peculiar «tension» between the affirmative «yes» and the critical «no» of this thought. In these paper, I will underline the tensional carácter of Nietzschean philosophy from several points of view: the interpretation of the will to power as «imaginative reason», the idea of the «self in tension» in the concepto of Zwischen, and the interpretation os instant in the eternal recurrence.KEYWORDSNIETZSCHE-NIHILISM

La actividad de la filología a la luz de la experiencia de Nietzsche
Authors: Crespillo Manuel
Published: April 2020

RESUMENEl nacimiento de la tragedia determinó el aislamiento y la posterior salida de Nietzsche de la comunidad filológica alemana. Mientras fue catedrático en Basilea, y durante toda su vida, Nietzsche fue un filólogo de la cosa (Sachphilologe), y su gran objeto fue vivir el Ideal griego antes que pensar y conocer la Idea. Para vivir el Ideal griego Nietzsche fundó la genealogía. La genealogía convierte el Ideal en un pesimismo, en una mentira, en una máscara que conduce al nihilismo. El nihilismo lo vive Nietzsche como una experiencia cuyo último fundamento es la justifación estética del mundo.ABSTRACTThe Birth of Tragedy gave rise to the insolation and later exclusion of Nietzsche from the German Philological Community. While he was Professor in Basel, and all during his life, Nietzsche was a philologist of the 'things' (Sachphilologe), and his great objective was to live the Greek Ideal rather than to think and know the Idea. To live the Greek Ideal, Nietzsche founded genealogy. Genealogy changes the Ideal into pessimism, into a lie, into a mask leading to nihilism. Nietzsche experiences nihilism as the ultimate (aesthetic) justification of the world.

Presencia de Carnap en el nominalismo de Hartry Field
Authors: Caba Sánchez Antonio
Published: April 2020

RESUMENDesde su perspectiva nominalista, Dield sostiene que la utilidad de los enunciados matemáticos en el mundo físico no proporciona razones suficientes para creer que sean verdaderos; en realidad, las matemáticas no son algo que pueda evaluarse adecuadamente en términos de verdad o de falsedad. Por ello, tiene que negar la existencia de entidades matemáticas y rebatir la tesis de que estas entidades sean teóricamente indispensables. En su lugar, argumenta que la utilidad de las matemáticas puede justificarse solamente por su carácter conservativo, esto es, que cualquier inferencia que pueda hacerse a partir de premisas nominalistas con su ayuda, podría haberse hecho sin ella. El principal objetivo de este artículo es mostrar que los aspectos más importantes del planteamiento de Field han sido mantenidos, hasta cierto punto, por Carnap y los empiristas lógicos.PALABRAS CLAVEEMPIRISMO LOGICO-NOMINALISMO-CARNAP-FIELDABSTRACTFrom his nominalistic point of view, Field claims that the utiity of mathematical assertions in the physical world gives no ground for believing in their trith; actually, mathematics is not the sort of thing that can be appropiately evaluated in terms of truth and falsehood. So, he has to deny that mathematical entities exist, and undermine the thesis that these entities are theoretically indispensable. he argues, instead, that the utility of mathematics can be accounted for only by its conservatiness, i.e., that any inference from nominalistic premises that can be made with the help of mathematics, could be made without it. The goal of this paper is to show that Field's main claim have been maintened, up to a point, by Carnap and the logical positivists. KEYWORDSLOGICAL EMPIRICISM-NOMINALISM-CARNAP-FIELD

Authors: KÜÇÜKBAY Füsun , GÜLER Begüm
Published: April 2020

Sermaye yapısı kararları ve firma karlılığı arasındaki ilişki üzerine yapılan çalışmalarda tartışmalar hala devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın da başlangıç noktasını bu tartışmalar oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı sermaye yapısı kararlarının ve firmaların kredi risk düzeylerinin firma karlılığı üzerine etkisi olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Çalışmada sermaye yapısı, kredi risk düzeyi ve firma karlılığı arasındaki ilişki panel veri analizi yardımı ile değerlendirilmiştir. Firma karlılığını ölçmek için aktif karlılığı oranı seçilmiştir (AK). Sermaye yapısını değerlendirebilmek için kaldıraç oranı ve uzun vadeli borç oranı seçilmiştir. Ayrıca firmaların kredi risklerini değerlendirmek için kukla değişken kullanılmıştır. Firma büyüklüğünün de firma karlılığını etkilediği düşünülerek firma büyüklüğü de kontrol değişkeni olarak seçilmiştir. Çalışma da 2013-2017 yılları arasında Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren 235 halka açık işletme çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda sermaye yapısı kararlarından kaldıraç oranının firma karlılığını istatistiki olarak negatif yönde etkilediği bulunmuştur. Firma karlılığı ve firma büyüklüğü arasında da istatistiki olarak anlamlı pozitif bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak firmaların kredi risk düzeylerinin sermaye yapısı ve karlılık arasındaki ilişkide bir farklılık yaratmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Innovation Performance: Evidence from a Nonlinear ARDL Approach

Published: April 2020

Innovative firms have a distinct competitive advantage and foreign direct investment is an important channel for technological transfers. The aim of this study is to analyse that foreign direct investment coming into Turkey that affects innovation performance of local and foreign investors. Our analysis covers the period of 1984-2017 and the three types of patent applications (residents, non-residents and total) are used as an indication of innovation in our analysis. The nonlinear ARDL model is applied because the impact of positive and negative shocks that caused foreign direct investments on innovation performance decomposes in short and long term. Analysis results indicate that positive and negative shocks experienced FDI have a greater impact on the innovative performance of local investors than foreign investors.
Dilemma of Developing Countries: Human Development Index vs Tax Burden
Authors: AY Hakan , HAYDANLI Mehmet Latif
Published: April 2020

In what ways can the gap in economic welfare be explained as we move from the USA to Mexico? How does Smith’s economic theory transform today? It is not easy to foresee whether economic stability or social change will succeed to ensure human development by reaching a welfare society and playing a more efficient role in economic development in the long term. The relationships between growth, development, and distribution are among the social policy issues of both developed and developing countries. With the participation of 189 United Nations countries in 2000, the UN Heads of State and Government Summit (Millennium Summit) acknowledged the need to develop a global partnership for the development within the scope of 8 development goals to be achieved by 2015. The study aims to reveal that human development index needs to be taken into consideration as much as the tax burden and economics exists for "human". To this end, the repercussions of "welfare" perception in developing countries were analyzed in this study with comparative analysis method.

Computational Search for Potential COVID-19 Drugs from FDA-Approved Drugs and Small Molecules of Natural Origin Identifies Several Anti-Virals and Plant Products
Authors: Sharma Abhishek , Tiwari Vikas , Sowdhamini Ramanathan
Published: April 2020

The world is facing COVID-19 pandemic at the present time, for which mild symptoms include fever and dry cough. In severe cases it could lead to pneumonia and ultimately death in some instances. The pathogen, SARS-CoV-2, is one of the human coronaviruses which was identified to infect humans first in December 2019. We have interrogated the capacity to repurpose around 2300 FDA-approved drugs and more than 300,000 small molecules of natural origin towards drug identification through virtual screening and molecular dynamics. Interestingly, we observed simple molecules like lactose, previously known anti-virals and few secondary metabolites of plants as promising hits.
Radical Functionalization of Thioglycosides in Aqueous Medium

Published: April 2020

A visible-light-mediated thiol-ene reaction is successfully operated in aqueous medium. Organic photoredox catalyst (9-mesityl-10-methylacridinum tetrafluoroborate) is used to initiate the radical process to generate thiyl radicals upon light irradiation. Two reaction pathways are discovered in different aqueous buffer system. Thiol-ene adduct is preferred in acidity reaction medium; while disulfide formation is found to be favored in basic reaction medium. Moreover, a visible-light-mediated modified Danishefsky-Wan desulfurization is used to convert thioglycoside to highly substituted tetrahydropyran ring.

Caffeinated Interfaces Enhance Alkaline Hydrogen Electrocatalysis
Authors: Intikhab Saad , Rebollar Luis , Li Yawei , Pai Rahul , Kalra Vibha , Tang Maureen H. , Snyder Joshua
Published: April 2020

The high Pt loading required for hydrogen oxidation (HOR) and evolution (HER) reactions in alkaline fuel cells and electrolyzers adversely impacts the system cost. Here, we demonstrate the use of caffeine as a ‘double-layer dopant’ to enhance both the HER and HOR of Pt electrodes in base. HER/HOR rates increase by fivefold on Pt(111) and are accelerated on Pt(110), Pt(pc), and Pt/C as well. FTIR spectroscopy confirms that caffeine is adsorbed at the Pt surface, forming a self-limiting film through electrochemical deposition. Caffeine films are stable up to 1.0 V vs. RHE and are readily regenerated through caffeine deposition during load/potential cycling. The findings presented here both identify a potential catalyst additive that can mitigate high Pt loadings in alkaline fuel cells and electrolyzers while opening the door to molecular engineering of solid/liquid interfaces for energy storage and conversion.

Spiral, Slasher, and Sequel: Case of "Happy Death Day" (2017) and "Happy Death Day 2U" (2019)
Authors: Kokeš Radomír D.
Published: April 2020

This article focuses on the films Happy Death Day (2017) and Happy Death Day 2U (2019). Both handle the spiral narrative, which is recognised by the article as a specific storytelling pattern with a protagonist stuck in an iterative segment of space, time and causality – and this protagonist is not only fully aware of this situation but also tries to deal with it. What for other unaware characters is a closed loop is for the protagonist an open experience with an odd number of turns of time spiral. The spiral narrative is known mostly from high-budget films such as Groundhog Day (1993) or Edge Of Tomorrow (2014). Nevertheless, as the article explains, it occurs in dozens of other theatrical films, VOD films, television films or television shows. However, what are the reasons why, when there is an extensive set of works to choose from, does the article take just the doublet of Happy Death Day films? (1) On their example, the article discusses the author’s general hypothesis about spiral narrative works as a series of applications of the innovative narrative schema as an aesthetic tool. Such a hypothesis consists of three broader dimensions: (a) the aesthetic dimension, i.e. the spiral schema as a part of the art work; (b) the creative dimension, i.e. the spiral schema as part of the problem-solution process of filmmaking; (c) the production dimension, i.e. the spiral schema as a part of the competition of audiovisual production. (2) An even more important reason, though, for selecting just these two films has been the fact that Happy Death Day 2U is a sequel of Happy Death Day. In the „post-classical era” of global franchises, sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots and transmedia storytellings, this does not seem to be exceptional. However, in the context of the spiral narrative, this is an unprecedented step that raises several questions the article asks.
Showing the Complexity of the Simple – The Art-puzzle of Hong Sang-soo
Authors: Vincze Terez
Published: April 2020

Renowned South Korean film director, Hong Sang-soo, has shown deep interest in complex (or some might say: confusing) storytelling throughout his entire career. Since modernist art cinema has an affinity with unconventional narrative structures, it is not surprising that an auteur like Hong is attracted to complexity. What is interesting here is that Hong’s (often black and white) films are a kind of analogue answer to the challenges of digital culture, a modernist art cinema version of puzzle films and database narratives. The article analyses the very Hongian strategy of producing auteurist puzzle films by creating confusion on a perceptive and narrative level.

Firstly, the article summarises how Hong’s unique film making practice not only provides significant (economic, artistic) independence and freedom to the author, but at the same time proves to be a structure that delivers high complexity at a low production cost. Secondly, the article analyses the puzzling techniques used by Hong that work on a perceptual level, and often turn his films into high level memory tests; and how these structures play a part in the “perceptual reeducation” of viewers while also serving as commentaries on cinematic representation. And finally, the article concludes with an analysis of the narrative techniques used by Hong to tell extremely simple stories about the eternal topic of “men want women” in a complex, confusing and compelling way.
Increasing trends of lymphogranuloma venereum among HIV-negative and asymptomatic men who have sex with men, the Netherlands, 2011 to 2017

Introduction

Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), an invasive form of Chlamydia trachomatis infection, has been reported among (mainly HIV-positive) men who have sex with men (MSM) since 2003. In the Netherlands, LGV testing recommendations changed from selective to universal testing in 2015. Changes in tested populations could have led to incomparable LGV positivity rates over time.

Aim

We investigated LGV trends among MSM attending Centres for Sexual Health using surveillance data between 2011 and 2017.

Methods

LGV positivity was calculated among MSM tested for rectal Chlamydia infection and MSM tested specifically for LGV. With multivariable logistic regression analysis, the association between years and LGV was adjusted for testing indicators and determinants.

Results

We included 224,194 consultations. LGV increased from 86 in 2011 to 270 in 2017. Among LGV-positives, proportions of HIV-negative and asymptomatic MSM increased from 17.4% to 45.6% and from 31.4% to 49.3%, respectively, between 2011 and 2017. Among MSM tested for rectal chlamydia, LGV positivity increased from 0.12% to 0.33% among HIV-negatives and remained stable around 2.5% among HIV-positives. Among LGV-tested MSM, LGV positivity increased from 2.1% to 5.7% among HIV-negatives and from 15.1% to 22.1% among HIV-positives. Multivariable models showed increased odds ratios and significant positive associations between years and LGV.

Conclusions

Although increased testing and changes in LGV incidence are difficult to disentangle, we found increasing LGV trends, especially when corrected for confounding. LGV was increasingly attributed to HIV-negative and asymptomatic MSM, among whom testing was previously limited. This stresses the importance of universal testing and continuous surveillance.

Healthcare workers (HCW) are potentially at increased risk of infection with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and may transmit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to vulnerable patients. We present results from staff testing at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom. Between 16 and 29 March 2020, 1,533 symptomatic HCW were tested, of whom 282 (18%) were positive for SARS-CoV-2. Testing HCW is a crucial strategy to optimise staffing levels during this outbreak.

As informações sobre as exigências nutricionais de J. curcas são extremamente importantes no desenvolvimento do manual de adubação para a espécie, pois não há estudos conclusivos com fósforo e a demanda nutricional para este elemento ainda é desconhecida. O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar e recomendar a adequada adubação fosfatada para o crescimento e produtividade de plantas de J. curcas. Os experimentos foram conduzidos em dois anos utilizando plantas de J. curcas com quatro meses de idade implantadas no espaçamento de 4 x 2 m. Utilizou-se o delineamento em blocos casualizados em arranjo Split plot com cinco tratamentos (doses de fósforo iguais a 0, 75, 150, 225 e 300 Kg ha-1 de P2O5) nas parcelas e anos de avaliações nas sub parcelas, cinco repetições e parcela de duas plantas. O superfosfato triplo foi utilizado como fonte de fósforo (P2O5) e as doses foram parceladas em cinco aplicações mensais iniciadas no primeiro ano em novembro e no segundo ano em outubro logo após a primeira chuva. Os resultados justificam a necessidade de atenção especial a adubação fosfatada por interferir decisivamente no vigor e produtividade de grãos de plantas de J. curcas. O elevado número de estômatos e vigoroso crescimento vegetativo de plantas de J. curcas foram obtidos com adubação nas doses entre 180 e 225 kg ha1 de P2O5. Recomenda-se para a planta de J. curcas a adubação fosfatada na dose de 208 kg ha-1 de P2O5 para obtenção de produtividade em torno de 140 kg ha-1 de P2O5 no 1º ano de cultivo e 214 kg ha-1 de P2O5 para obtenção de produtividade em torno de 600 kg ha-1 de P2O5no 2º ano de cultivo.

O agronegócio é uma das principais atividades da economia no Brasil e de suma importância para a balança comercial brasileira. Neste cenário a exportação de grãos coloca o Brasil em uma posição privilegiada no comércio internacional de commodities agrícolas. Em 2017 o milho foi o principal responsável pela alta performance do setor, com o crescimento de 13%. O grão protagonizou no ano de 2017 a produção de 97 milhões (t). O objetivo deste artigo é investigar eventuais gargalos logísticos na operação de recebimento e armazenamento do milho no complexo portuário de Santos. Para tanto, optou-se por estudar os referidos processos em um terminal portuário de exportação, aqui denominado Terminal A utilizando-se de simulação. Os resultados apresentam duas operações distintas, a chegada do grão no terminal por ferrovia (vagão) e a chegada por rodovia (caminhão) e apontam potenciais gargalos operacionais.

Published: April 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic is the first to occur in an age of hyperconnectivity. This paper presents results from an online anonymous survey conducted in Malay, English, and Chinese, during the first week of the Movement Control Order in Malaysia (n=1075), which aimed to examine public knowledge, perception and communication behavior in the Malaysian society in the face of a sudden outbreak and social distancing measures. Although the level of public knowledge, risk perception and positive communication behavior surrounding COVID-19 was high, a majority of respondents reported receiving a lot of questionable information. Multinomial logistic regression further identified that responses to different items varied significantly across respondent survey language, gender, age, education level and employment status.

Published: April 2020

Tema tentang ‘penuaian’ makin marak diekspose di kalangan masyarakat Kristen di akhir zaman ini. Hal itu didorong oleh semangat yang kuat untuk taat kepada Amanat Agung Tuhan Yesus Kristus untuk menjadikan sekalian bangsa murid-Nya (Mat 28:19-20). Pada umumnya, penuaian dipahami sebagai sebuah tantangan, pengharapan dan kenyataan. Penuaian sebagai tantangan karena proses penuaian memerlukan perjuangan dan kerja keras. Penuaian sebagai pengharapan karena tuaian yang dimaksud merupakan keadaan yang diharapkan akan terjadi. Penuaian sebagai kenyataan karena faktanya ‘penemuan dan pemenangan’ jiwa baru terus sedang berlangsung di seluruh bagian muka bumi ini.
