Conceptual Framework for the Determinants of Mutual Fund Performance in Malaysia
Authors: Hassan Hafinaz Hasniyanti , Hussin Nazimah
Published: June 2021

Objective - The aim of the study is to identify the determinants of mutual fund performance. Mutual funds have grown in the global financial scene since the 1890s. Past studies have examined various issues associated with mutual funds. However, in Malaysia, mutual fund related studies are rather limited. While most global researches observe the determinants of conventional mutual fund performance, the literature in Malaysia focuses only on a comparison of the performance of mutual funds. Hence, this study aims to fill that gap by providing a framework to assess the determinants of mutual fund performance. More specifically, the study proposes a conceptual framework to determine the effect of historical return, fund governance, timing and selection skills on mutual fund performance. The advancement of the study can be found through the use of theory of performance and mutual fund fees as a mediator in determining the performance of mutual fund fees.

Methodology/Technique - A quantitative approach based on secondary data will be used in this study. Multivariate regression analysis and structural equation modelling is also used to evaluate the relationship between the variables.

Findings - A conceptual framework is proposed based on the Theory of Performance. The model fit and the mediating role of mutual fund fees will be confirmed after the collection of the research data. It is expected that historical return, fund governance, timing and selection skills will affect mutual fund performance and mutual fund fees will mediate the relationship between the two.

Novelty – This study will provide a new perspective on mutual fund performance by using the Theory of Performance. In addition, the mediating role of mutual fund fees is further examined in relation to the specified determinants and mutual fund performance.

Type of Paper - Review.

Keywords: Mutual Funds; Fees; Performance; Mediator; Theory of Performance.

Building Persistent Financial Performance
Authors: Mulyantini Sri
Published: June 2021

Objective - The purpose of this study is to analyze profit persistence and the factors that influence it using secondary data from 39 banks listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange in the form of pooled data, from 2008 to 2014.

Methodology/Technique - This study uses a purposive sampling technique, resulting in a sample of 31 banks. Variable profit persistence of each bank reflects sustainable earnings towards the industry in the future. The model determinant factors of persistence profit were analyzed by normalization models as reference models, average models and growth models as exploration models.

Findings - As a result, the persistence profit of banks listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange tends to vary. Some banks have positive profit persistence (lambda) that reflects a competitive advantage in the long run. Other banks have a negative profit persistence, which reflects long-term competitive weakness.

Novelty – The ability to access capital and funding has a significant effect on profit persistence, although the direction of its influence is negative. Other variables, namely the capability to access public funds, the ability to innovate and industrial factors, namely credit market share, have a significant effect on persistent profits, while the ability to maintain asset quality and efficiency has no significant effect on profit persistence in banks listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange.

Type of Paper - Empirical.

Over the past few years, malware attacks have risen in huge numbers on the Android platform. Significant threats are posed by these attacks which may cause financial loss, information leakage, and damage to the system. Around 25 million smartphones were infected with malware within the first half of 2019 that depicts the seriousness of these attacks. Taking into account the danger posed by the Android malware to the users’ community, we aim to develop a static Android malware detector named SFDroid that analyzes manifest file components for malware detection. In this work, first, the proposed model ranks the manifest features according to their frequency in normal and malicious apps. This helps us to identify the significant features present in normal and malware datasets. Additionally, we apply support thresholds to remove the unnecessary and redundant features from the rankings. Further, we propose a novel algorithm that uses the ranked features, and several machine learning classifiers to detect Android malware. The experimental results demonstrate that by using the Random Forest classifier at 10% support threshold, the proposed model gives a detection accuracy of 95.90% with 36 manifest components.

Driving while drowsy is a ubiquitous and extremely grave public health hazard that requires immediate consideration. Through studies in recent years, it has been proved that about 20 percent of all car accidents have occurred as a result of dozy driving. The main objective of new drowsiness detection systems is accurate doziness recognition. In this regard, the face is the most important part of the body as it sends a lot of essential information. The facial expressions of a drowsy driver include frequency of blinking and yawning. This paper proposes a model which detects the drivers’ awareness using video stills of the driver’s face and improves the tracking accuracy. Further, we introduce the auxiliary functionality of speed limit recommendations based on the driver’s present state of mind. The various facial features are evaluated to determine the drivers’ current state. By combining the features of the eyes and mouth, the driver is alerted with a fatigue warning and also suggested a safe speed limit. This system is very essential so as to prevent and hence reduce the number of fatal accidents that occur as a result of dozy driving saving a lot of lives and damage to property.

Software tests must be repeated frequently throughout development cycles to attain certain quality. Every time program code is changed software assessments need to be repeated. Once created, automated tests may be run repeatedly at no extra value and they may be tons quicker than manually conducted test and free from human errors. Automated software program testing can lessen the time to run repetitive tests from days to hours. Test automation can easily run thousands of different complex test cases in each test run, so there is no manual testing involved. But Automation testing has its own disadvantages one of it is that the testers should come from a programming background. To eliminate this dependency over programmers Scriptless automation testing tools are emerging. There are many Scriptless GUI automation testing tools in the market that use various methods to achieve the goal, this paper proposes a new record and playback method to achieve the same using Selenium framework and JavaScript for web application.

Authors: Sharma Ram Lal , Sharma Kalpana
Published: June 2021

Introduction-The novel coronavirus known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus(SARS-CoV-2) has
engulfed the entire world. The nations worldwide are engaged in carrying out several research, treatment and vaccine
trials to relieve the world from the shackles of this global pandemic. This pandemic has not only strained health care facilities but also has
psychosocial repercussions.
Objective- To nd out the effects of lockdown on ophthalmological services in COViD Era and its psychosocial impact.
Material And Methods- Retrospective analysis of data in the Department of Ophthalmology of tertiary care institute from March 2020 to
August 2020 was done. This period was compared with corresponding months of previous year 2019. The services affected and the pattern of
social behaviour during different phases of complete and partial lockdown periods were studied.
Results- Strict administrative execution of lockdown and curfews lead to the reduction in number of patients visiting hospital and accounted for
drastic dip in no of patients visiting out patient department and operating procedures. The initial mental defence phases of apprehension, denial
and projection in lockdown period were eventually followed by displacement and suppression in unlockdown period.
Conclusion- The number of COVID positive patients in India have risen exponentially. As per WHO this global pandemic is likely to stay
longer and we are witnessing second or in some countries third wave also, the standard protocol for patients and health care workers needs to be
adhered strictly and revised from time to time as there is expected surge of patients with visual threatening situations for number of patients have
been deprived of treatment in restriction phases of lockdown . The psychosocial behavior as a result of mental defense mechanism should also be
maneuvered along the pandemic control.
EVALUATION OF CENTRALLY ACTING SKELETAL MUSCLE RELAXANT ACTIVITY OF ALCOHOLIC EXTRACTS OF ASHWAGANDHA (WITHANIA SOMNIFERA) ROOTS IN ALBINO MICE.
Authors: Panigrahy Sarita , Panigrahy Sangeeta
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND:Skeletal muscle relaxants are drugs that are used to relax and diminish tightness in muscles. Many
medicinal plants have known to have skeletal muscle relaxant activity. In past studies some Polyherbal formulation
containing Ashwagandha as one of the ingredients and its fat extract have shown to have skeletal muscle relaxant activity in experimental animal
models. This study is intended to evaluate the skeletal muscle relaxant activity of alcoholic extracts of Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha) roots
in albino mice, as the literature regarding this extract is scarce.
METHODOLOGY: Standard drug (diazepam), different doses of Alcohol extract of ashwagandha (50,100, 150 mg/kg) were given orally to
mice and muscle relaxant activity was assessed by Rota-rod apparatus. The fall off time from the rotating rod was noted for each group after 1
hour of drug administration. The difference in fall off time among the standard drug and treated mice was taken as an index of muscle relaxation.
RESULTS:The test extract at its different doses showed highly signicant reduction in the time spent by the animals on revolving rod in rotarod
test when compared to baseline (p < 0.0001) which is highly signicant. On comparison with diazepam, different doses of Alcohol extract
showed weak relaxant activity.
CONCLUSIONS : The three different doses of Alcoholic extract showed a dose dependent rise in muscle relaxant action. The results are
promising for further investigation of efcient skeletal muscle relaxant activity.

ВИВЧЕННЯ ЖАНРУ СОНЕТА СТУДЕНТАМИ-ФІЛОЛОГАМИ (НА МАТЕРІАЛІ ТВОРЧОСТІ С. КРИЖАНІВСЬКОГО)
Authors: Баденкова В. М.  , Родіонова І. Г.
Published: June 2021

У статті акцентовано, що в сучасному глобалізованому світі все важче ідентифікувати себе як частину окремої етнічної спільноти і тому важливим складником у системі національно-мовного виховання особистості посідає краєзнавство. Науковці наголошують, що літературне краєзнавство є педагогічною категорією, стійким педагогічним явищем, системним структурним компонентом сучасної літературної освіти. Незважаючи на значні напрацювання з проблеми, різноманіття аспектів літературного краєзнавства в навчально-виховному процесі, відчутною є недостатня кількість розробок текстуального вивчення творів письменників Миколаївщини, що повинно було б допомогти студентам осягати глибинну сутність спадщини митців краю, поглиблювати знання про його історію, його найвидатніших земляків, а також сприяти формуванню загальнолюдських духовних цінностей, крім того, дасть змогу майбутнім вчителям-філологам поглибити теоретичні знання з літературознавства. У статті актуалізовано поняття «сонет», визначено його види, охарактеризовано сонетну традицію в українській літературі, а також звернено увагу на особливості вивчення цих форм вірша на матеріалі поетичної практики одного з найвідоміших літературних діячів не тільки Миколаївщини, але й України ХХ ст. С. Крижанівського, як-от сонет з кодою, сонет без рим, подвійний сонет, сонет-акростих та ін. У пропонованій праці відзначено, що творчість митця тривалий час не висвітлювалась у критичних джерелах, не використовувалися його поетичні знахідки у вузівській та відповідно у шкільній практиці, зокрема його сонети, для ідейно-естетичного розвитку учнів. Установлено, що митець є автором 14 різновидів сонетів, вивчення яких актуальне в теоретичному та практичному аспектах. Схарактеризовано зміст стилістико-мовної роботи студентів із поетичним текстом у процесі його вивчення. Зроблено висновок, що оптимальна організація навчальних занять дозволить студентам детальніше осмислити сонетну форму, творчість поета у контексті не лише літератури рідного краю, а й загальноукраїнського літературного процесу, усвідомити вартісність духовних та естетичних цінностей, сприятиме формуванню компетентного читача.
Searching for Interstellar Quantum Communications
Authors: Hippke Michael
Published: June 2021

The modern search for extraterrestrial intelligence began with the seminal publications of Cocconi & Morrison and Schwartz & Townes, who proposed searching for narrowband signals in the radio spectrum and optical laser pulses. Over the last six decades, more than 100 dedicated search programs have targeted these wavelengths, all with null results. All of these campaigns searched for classical communications, that is, for a significant number of photons above a noise threshold, with the assumption of a pattern encoded in time and/or frequency space. I argue that future searches should also target quantum communications. They are preferred over classical communications with regard to security and information efficiency, and they would have escaped detection in all previous searches. The measurement of Fock state photons or squeezed light would indicate the artificiality of a signal. I show that quantum coherence is feasible over interstellar distances and explain for the first time how astronomers can search for quantum transmissions sent by ETI to Earth using commercially available telescopes and receiver equipment.

Studying the resolved stellar populations of the different structural components that build massive galaxies directly unveils their assembly history. We aim at characterizing the stellar population properties of a representative sample of bulges and pure spheroids in massive galaxies (M
⋆ > 1010
M
⊙) in the GOODS-N field. We take advantage of the spectral and spatial information provided by SHARDS and Hubble Space Telescope data to perform the multi-image spectrophotometric decoupling of the galaxy light. We derive the spectral energy distribution separately for bulges and disks in the redshift range 0.14 < z ≤ 1 with spectral resolution R ∼ 50. Analyzing these spectral energy distributions, we find evidence of a bimodal distribution of bulge formation redshifts. We find that 33% of them present old mass-weighted ages, implying a median formation redshift

. They are relics of the early universe embedded in disk galaxies. A second wave, dominant in number, accounts for bulges formed at median redshift

. The oldest (first-wave) bulges are more compact than the youngest. Virtually all pure spheroids (i.e., those without any disk) are coetaneous with the second-wave bulges, presenting a median redshift of formation

. The two waves of bulge formation are distinguishable not only in terms of stellar ages but also in star formation mode. All first-wave bulges formed fast at z ∼ 6, with typical timescales around 200 Myr. A significant fraction of the second-wave bulges assembled more slowly, with star formation timescales as long as 1 Gyr. The results of this work suggest that the centers of massive disk-like galaxies actually harbor the oldest spheroids formed in the universe.
Eruptivity in Solar Flares: The Challenges of Magnetic Flux Ropes
Authors: Lin Pei Hsuan , Kusano Kanya , Leka K. D.
Published: June 2021

Two new schemes for identifying field lines involved in eruptions, the r-scheme and q-scheme, are proposed to analyze the eruptive and confined nature of solar flares, as extensions to the original r

m
scheme proposed in Lin et al. Motivated by three solar flares originating from NOAA Active Region 12192 that are misclassified by r

m
, we introduce refinements to the r-scheme employing the “magnetic twist flux” to approximate the force balance acting on a magnetic flux rope (MFR); in the q-scheme, the reconnected field is represented by those field lines that anchor in the flare ribbons. Based on data obtained by the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager, the coronal magnetic field for 51 flares larger than M5.0 class, from 29 distinct active regions, is constructed using a nonlinear force-free field extrapolation model. Statistical analysis based on linear discriminant function analysis is then performed, revealing that despite both schemes providing moderately successful classifications for the 51 flares, the coronal mass ejection-eruptivity classification for the three target events can only be improved with the q-scheme. We find that the highly twisted field lines and the flare-ribbon field lines have equal average force-free constant α, but all of the flare-ribbon-related field lines are shorter than 150 Mm in length. The findings lead us to conclude that it is challenging to distinguish the MFR from the ambient magnetic field using any quantity based on common magnetic nonpotentiality measures.
Testing Photoevaporation and MHD Disk Wind Models through Future High-angular Resolution Radio Observations: The Case of TW Hydrae

Published: June 2021

We present theoretical predictions for the free–free emission at centimeter wavelengths obtained from photoevaporation and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wind disk models adjusted to the case of the TW Hydrae young stellar object. For this system, disk photoevaporation with heating due to the high-energy photons from the star has been proposed as a possible mechanism to open the gap observed in the dust emission with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. We show that the photoevaporation disk model predicts a radial profile for the free–free emission that is made of two main spatial components, one originated from the bound disk atmosphere at 0.5–1 au from the star, and another more extended component from the photoevaporative wind at larger disk radii. We also show that the stellar X-ray luminosity has a significant impact on both these components. The predicted radio emission from the MHD wind model has a smoother radial distribution which extends to closer distances to the star than the photoevaporation case. We also show that a future radio telescope such as the Next Generation Very Large Array would have enough sensitivity and angular resolution to spatially resolve the main structures predicted by these models.

We present a detailed spectral-timing analysis of the Kilohertz quasiperiodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in Sco X-1 using the data of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT). The energy band with detectable kHz QPOs is studied for the first time: on the horizontal branch, it is ∼6.89–24.01 and ∼8.68–21.78 keV for the upper and lower kHz QPOs, respectively, detected by the RXTE, and ∼9–27.5 keV for the upper kHz QPOs by the Insight-HXMT; on the lower normal branch, the energy band is narrower. The fractional root mean square (rms) of the kHz QPOs increases with energy at a lower energy, reaches a plateau at about 16 and 20 keV for the lower and upper peaks, and then levels off though with a large uncertainty. The simulation of the deadtime effect of RXTE/PCA shows that the deadtime does not affect much the search of the kHz QPOs but makes the rms amplitude underestimated. No significant QPO is detected below ∼6 keV as shown by the RXTE data, implying that the kHz QPOs do not originate from the blackbody emission of the accretion disk and neutron star surface. In addition, with the combined analysis of the energy spectra and the absolute rms spectra of kHz QPOs, we suggest that the kHz QPOs in Sco X-1 originate from the Comptonization of the inner part of the transition layer, where the rotation sets the frequency and the inward bulk motion makes the spectrum harder.
First observation of an ant colony of Formica fuscocinerea Forel, 1874 invaded by the social parasite F. truncorum Fabricius, 1804 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
Authors: Neumeyer Rainer , Sommerhalder Jürg , Ungricht Stefan
Published: June 2021

In the northern Alps of Switzerland we observed a mixed ant colony of Formica truncorum Fabricius, 1804 and F. fuscocinerea Forel, 1874 at the foot of a schoolhouse wall in the built-up centre of the small town of Näfels (canton of Glarus). Based on the fact that the habitat is favorable only for F. fuscocinerea and that F. truncorum is a notorious temporary social parasite, we conclude that in this case a colony of F. fuscocinerea must have been usurped by F. truncorum. This is remarkable, as it is the first reported case where a colony of F. fuscocinerea has been taken over by a social parasite. We consider the observed unusually small workers of F. truncorum to be a starvation form. This is probably due to the suboptimal urban nest site, as this species typically occurs along the edge of forests or in clearings.
Minimizing Unconscious Bias in Nursing School Admission
Authors: Noone Joanne , Najjar Rana Halabi
Published: June 2021

Background:

The potential exists for unconscious bias to influence decisions throughout the admission process to nursing school and derail holistic admission review processes. Although little is known about unconscious bias in nursing school admissions, unconscious bias has been demonstrated in nurse educators at levels similar to the general population.

Method:

This article examines concepts of unconscious bias, factors that may interfere with accurate and fair assessment of applicants to nursing school, and ways to mitigate unconscious bias in the application and admission decision processes.

Results:

Interventions that have shown success in reducing unconscious bias center on increased awareness of the presence of unconscious bias and cognitive strategies that include motivation and effort to counter the unconscious bias.

Conclusion:

Creating structures in the admission process that promote fairness and reduce the risk of relying on automatic judgments can minimize the influence of unconscious bias on admission decisions.

An Intercultural Peer-Mentoring Program for Prelicensure Nursing Students
Authors: Lewis Lisa S.
Published: June 2021

Background:

Nursing students from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds may require additional support for academic success.

Method:

A CALD peer-mentoring program was offered in an Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program. The Logic Model framework was used to plan the program.

Results:

Mentors and mentees expressed satisfaction and derived benefits from the mentoring program. They were retained in the ABSN program and all but one had on-time academic progression.

Conclusion:

The CALD peer-mentoring program was cost effective and successful. A challenge to be addressed is the need to overcome scheduling conflicts for mentors and mentees to meet.

Systemic transplantation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) is used to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)–like disorders in MRL/lpr mice. However, the mechanisms underlying the SHED-based therapy remain unclear. In this study, we hypothesized that trophic factors within SHED-releasing extracellular vesicles (SHED-EVs) ameliorate the SLE-like phenotypes in MRL/lpr mice. SHED-EVs were isolated from the culture supernatant of SHED. SHED-EVs were treated with or without RNase and systemically administered to MRL/lpr mice. Subsequently, recipient bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) isolated from SHED-EV–administered MRL/lpr mice were examined for the in vitro and in vivo activity of hematopoietic niche formation and immunoregulation. Furthermore, the recipient BMMSCs were secondarily transplanted into MRL/lpr mice. The systemic SHED-EV infusion ameliorated the SLE-like phenotypes in MRL/lpr mice and improved the functions of recipient BMMSCs by rescuing Tert mRNA-associated telomerase activity, hematopoietic niche formation, and immunoregulation. The secondary transplantation of recipient BMMSCs recovered the immune condition and renal functions of MRL/lpr mice. The RNase treatment depleted RNAs, such as microRNAs, within SHED-EVs, and the RNA-depleted SHED-EVs attenuated the benefits of SHED-EVs in MRL/lpr mice. Collectively, our findings suggest that SHED-secreted RNAs, such as microRNAs, play a crucial role in treating SLE by targeting the telomerase activity of recipient BMMSCs.
