Published: March 2020

The negative effects of entrepreneurial activities on the environment should not be disregarded.  Sustainable entrepreneurship has been recognized as a  strategy in rectifying environmental issues through entrepreneurial activities.   However, developing sustainable entrepreneurs is still in its infancy stage in Malaysia. Most of Malaysia’s small and medium enterprises (SMEs) still regard it as a new practice and not many of them have actually embarked on it. As such, this study investigated the formation process of intention towards sustainable entrepreneurship through individual orientation and individual perception.  This study surveyed  404  SMEs owner-managers in Malaysia through self-administered questionnaires. The results indicated that individual orientation positively and significantly related to intention towards sustainable entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, the results also showed a significant partially mediating the role of individual perception between individual orientation and intention towards sustainable entrepreneurship. This study contributed to the literature by confirming that the formation process of intention towards sustainable entrepreneurship was successfully influenced by two important determinants, namely individual orientation, and individual perception. Practically, it highlighted some crucial factors in promoting sustainable entrepreneurship among SMEs in Malaysia.

University is primarily being a wide place or facility to produce capable, intelligent and professional workforce. Students are equipped with various kinds of knowledge theoretically as well as trained through the internship process. However, the findings on graduates who don’t reflect some aspects of professionalism, less competent in each of their fields or even their soft skills should be classified as urgent issues at any rate. Driven by these contrary sides, we highlighted that the less maintained students’ internship period might be a variable for the problems. We started by collecting previous studies on the dissatisfactions from employers about trainees/interns from universities, analyzed the solutions, and triangulated the solutions we proposed by exploring internship masterplan at a university in Indonesia. From all of these steps, we found that appropriate, intensive mentoring ways in the students’ internship period are the main points to create the skills that meet any employers’ demands. We believe that the results of this study will be very useful for those who need answers to the best ways to improve the quality and capabilities of higher education graduates.

Developing a Marketing Strategy Based on Market Segmentation Through Clustering Method in Food and Beverage Industry in Bandung: Case Study of Bola Ubi Yama
Authors: Tomassa Bestra , Rachmawati Evy
Published: March 2020

Food and beverage industry has been highly developing throughout time varying the industry into smaller sub-industries and more varieties of product available for the market to choose. Since it is one of the lowest barriers to penetrate out of all industries, the industrial competitiveness is very high due to its demand and supply. Bola Ubi is a traditional food coming from West Java. Bola Ubi has a unique sweet yet savory taste with its crunchy yet chewy texture. As traditional food, Bola Ubi is relatively popular. As time goes by, there are brands coming up to sell this kind of product. One of these companies is Yama. Yama launched their first store in February 2018 in Taman Sari Food Festival. As time goes by Yama reveals a downward trend in its sales. Referring to create, delivery, and capture metrics, Yama has an equal, if not better in creating the value and capturing it to the customer. The only difference that Yama have is the delivery metrics. Although in hindsight the solution is to just change the location of Yama’s store, it would not create a substantive competitive advantage in the long run. Based on the data analysis, the study found that the way forward is to position ourselves firmly into one existing specific market to capitalize the lack of focus of our competitor.
The Effect of Ownership Structure and Board Independence Towards Overinvestment Behavior of Family Firm in Indonesia
Authors: Noor Pradita Novihana , Afriani Utama Cynthia
Published: March 2020

Firms with concentrated ownership structures are commonly found in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, the biggest control of the firm comes from the family. Concentrated ownership can lead to agency problem between controlling shareholders and non- controlling shareholders where, controlling shareholders together with management, can make decisions which bring personal benefit at the expense of non-controlling shareholders for example by investing on projects with negative NPV or known as overinvestment. This study explains the effect of the presence of directors and independent commissioners on relationship between family ownership and overinvestment. Using firms listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2011 to 2017 as research samples, the presence of independent director is negatively related to overinvestment. From the regression results, only independent directors were found to have a moderating effect in weakening the positive relationship between family ownership and overinvestment. This effect is seen more clearly if family ownership  in the company is low. This is because if family ownership in the company is low the process of selecting a board of directors can be more objective so that the possibility of a number of independent directors sitting on the board of directors is much greater. Thus the effect of moderation by independent directors will be greater in companies with lower family ownership.

Published: March 2020

As the outbreak of COVID-19 has accelerated, an urgent need for finding strategies to combat the virus is growing. Thus, gaining more knowledge on the pathogenicity mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2, the causing agent of COVID-19, and its interaction with the immune system is of utmost importance. Although this novel virus is not well known yet, its structural and genetic similarity with SARS-CoV as well as the comparable pattern of age-mortality relations suggest that the previous findings on SARS can be applicable for COVID-19. Therefore, a systems biology study was conducted to investigate the most important signaling pathways activated by the virus. The results were then validated through a literature review on COVID-19 and the other closely related viruses, SARS and MERS. Interferons have shown to play a crucial role in the defense against coronavirus diseases. CoV can impede the interferon induction in humans. Moreover, STAT1, a key protein in the interferon-mediated immune response, is antagonized by the virus. This could explain the increased response threshold of immune cells to IFNs during CoV infections. A vivid correlation between the innate immune response threshold and the fatality rates in COVID-19 can be found. Differences in the dynamics of the interferon-related innate immune responses in children, adults, and elderly may explain the reported fatality rates. The increased mortality rates in the elderly can be explained by the higher threshold of interferon-mediated immune responses. Earlier induction of interferons in children and their less developed immune system could contribute to their near to zero fatality rate. Administration of interferon-inducing agents, such as poly (ICLC), could reduce the mortality of SARS at the very early stages of the disease. Interferon-γ combination with an interferon-I might induce synergistic effects and maximize the benefits. However, in-depth research is needed to validate it and determine the optimum dosage and timing to prevent unwanted results. Such interventions can act as a double-edged sword and aid the imbalance of the immune reactions, which may occur at the later stages of the disease. With the advancement of the disease and the virus overload, the responses would shift toward immnopathogenic over-reactions and probably cytokine storm. Moderating the activity of the immune system and supportive care in such conditions might be the optimum approach.

COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a public health emergency of international concern caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As of this time, there is no known effective pharmaceutical, phytopharmaceutical or traditional medicine for cure or prevention of COVID-19, although it is urgently needed. In this review, based on the current understanding of the disease molecular mechanisms of novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and its closest relative SARS-CoV and other human Coronaviruses, I have identified some naturally occurring plant based substances and Ayurvedic medicinal herbs that could feasibly be tested as a matter of urgency for prevention as well as therapeutic option for COVID-19 in India and other parts of the world. I conclude that dried rhizome of Curcuma longa L. i.e. turmeric, and its active ingredient curcumin may be effective in preventing as well as cure the COVID-19 pandemic due to its proven antiviral activities, this however need to be tested by appropriate clinical trials as research priority.

» The team approach includes emergency medicine, pediatric intensive care, pediatric hospitalist medicine, infectious disease service, orthopaedic surgery, radiology, anesthesiology, pharmacology, and hematology.

» These services follow evidence-based clinical practice guidelines with integrated processes of care so that children and their families may benefit from data-driven continuous process improvement.

» Important principles based on our experience in the successful treatment of pediatric musculoskeletal infection include relevant information gathering, pattern recognition, determination of the severity of illness, institutional workflow management, closed-loop communication, patient and family-centered care, ongoing dialogue among key stakeholders within and outside the context of direct patient care, and periodic data review for programmatic improvement over time.

» Such principles may be useful in almost any setting, including rural communities and developing countries, with the understanding that the team composition, institutional capabilities or limitations, and specific approaches to treatment may differ substantially from one setting or team to another.

» Computer-assisted technologies that are used in arthroplasty include navigation, image-derived instrumentation (IDI), and robotics.

» Computer-assisted navigation improves accuracy and allows for real-time assessment of component positioning and soft-tissue tension.

» It is not clear whether the implementation of these technologies improves the clinical outcome of surgery.

» High cost and time demands have prevented the global implementation of computer-assisted technologies.

E&P Notes

Historic Oil Glut May Linger for Years

Stephen Rassenfoss, JPT Emerging Technology Editor

Editor’s Note: The global repercussions of COVID-19 and the oil price drop in mid-March continue to have far-reaching effects on the market, operators, and services companies. This month, JPT editors deliver in-depth E&P market and activity updates. To stay updated, visit the JPT website (www.spe.org/jpt), and sign up to receive JPT’s weekly newsletter  (http://go.spe.org/jpt_newsletter) and JPT’s monthly Unconventional Insights newsletter ("http://go.spe.org/JPT_Unconventionals_Newsletter)"http://go.spe.org/JPT_Unconventionals_Newsletter).

Price crashes caused by supply gluts have been happening since oil production began, but the latest one is growing to epic proportions.

“There has been a dizzying drop in world oil demand and a dramatic pivot in Saudi oil production policy. If this situation persists amidst a recession, it points to the possible buildup of the most extreme global oil supply surplus ever recorded,” said Jim Burkhard, vice president and head of oil markets for IHS Markit.

The firm’s estimates of overproduction could range from 4 million B/D to 10 million B/D from February to May 2020, which is in line with a trend of growing oversupply estimates from oil industry observers, who say low prices will be long-lasting.

E&P Spending Cuts Spur Requests for Reduced OFS Fees

Judy Feder, Technology Editor

Fallout for the oil and gas industry from COVID-19 and the production volume war that began when Russia walked away from the suggested OPEC+ deal and Saudi Arabia started flooding the market with oil has been rapid and severe. And, it looks as if US shale will be the hardest hit. The total capital and operational expenditure of exploration and production (E&P) companies is now likely to be cut by $100 billion in 2020 and another $150 billion in 2021 if oil prices remain at a $30 level, according to a recent Rystad Energy impact analysis. The shale industry would carry the biggest burden of this supply shock by taking as much as $65 billion of the $100-billion 2020 spending reduction expected globally.

And, it may get worse. According to Rystad, if no agreement is reached during the next scheduled OPEC+ meeting in June, E&P companies are likely to slash capital and operational budgets to make up for significantly lower cash flows that are expected this year and next.

Background: Hypoxia causes injury and yield loss. Soil aeration has been reported to accelerate the growth of plants and increase crop yield. The aim of this study was to examine growth response of greenhouse-produced muskmelon to 3 levels of sub-surface drip irrigation (I), 3 different installation depths of drip laterals in the soil (D), and 4 levels of supplemental soil aeration frequency (A). A fractional factorial experiment was designed to examine these treatment effects on marketable fresh fruit yield, leaf area index during 3 growth stages, and dry matter partitioning at harvest. In addition, we studied the response of fruit yield and dry matter of tomato to 2 levels of burial depths of subsurface tubing in combination with 3 frequency levels of soil aeration. Results: Results showed that soil aeration can positively influence the yield, leaf area index, dry matter and irrigation use efficiency of the muskmelon (p<0.05). The fruit yield of muskmelon and tomato were increased by 21.5% and 30.8% respectively with 1-d and 2-d aeration intervals compared with the no aeration treatment. Conclusions: The results suggest that soil aeration can positively impact the plant root zone environment and more benefits can be obtained with aeration for both muskmelon and tomato plants.
