Authors: Melo Esdras Henrique Rangel de , Barros da Guarda Flávio Renato , Feitosa Wallach Milton do Nascimento , Menezes Vilde Gomes de
Published: October 2019

The Academia da Cidade program (ACP), linked to the Health Secretariat of Recife, Pernambuco since 2002, is a component of health policy focused on Primary Care and aims to promote physical activities, healthy eating and health education. The study aimed to map the scientific production on the ACP. This is a mapping review study with the following steps: (1) clarifying the research question; (2) identifying relevant studies; (3) selecting studies; (4) mapping the studies; (5) summarizing and reporting the results. Searches were made in the Virtual Health Library, Pubmed, Scielo and LILACS databases. Were excluded articles that did not address PAC (n = 17), review articles (n = 2), and articles that analyzed other programs (n = 2) and 16 articles were excluded because they did not present the ACP as the focus of the analysis. Eight studies were identified on this theme. The study identified that most articles focus on types I and II of evidence and that only one article presented the theoretical contribution of policy science in its theoretical scope. We conclude that more research is needed to contribute with more reliable frameworks and methodologies, in line with the public policy analysis process.

Authors: Syafitra Rezki Muhammad Adhzerian , Maliansyah Harri , Ariyanto Dimas Yusuf , Faishal Muhammad
Published: October 2019

Penelitian ini bertujuan memanfaatkan air larutan garam sebagai penghantar listrik untuk menjadikannya alternatif pengganti kabel tembaga yang saat ini banyak digunakan dalam menghantarkan listrik. Proses dari air larutan garam yang dapat menghantarkan listrik karena pada larutan garam menggandung NaCl yang mengakibat adanya perpindahan elektron dari suatu atom ke atom yang lain. Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan beberapa sampel massa garam yang berbeda-beda serta dilakukan perbandingan daya hantar listrik dengan air tanpa larutan garam dan tembaga yang dihubungkan pada beban lampu sebesar 10 Watt. Hasil pengujian yang didapatkan, larutan tanpa garam menghasilkan daya sebesar 0,94 Watt dan larutan dengan massa garam 50 gram, 100 gram, 200 gram dan 400 gram menghantarkan daya listrik sebesar 3,43 Watt, 4,51 Watt, 6,17 Watt dan 7,61 Watt sedangkan daya hantar tembaga sebesar 9,51 Watt. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa dalam penggunaan air larutan garam sebagai penghantar listrik, jika semakin bertambah massa garam maka daya hantar listrik yang dihasilkan juga akan semakin besar.This study aims to use salt water as an electrical conductor to make it an alternative to copper wires which are currently widely used in conducting electricity. The process of saltwater solution that can conduct electricity because the salt solution contains NaCl which results in the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. In this study using several different samples of the mass of salt and comparing the conductivity of electricity with water without salt and copper solutions connected to the lamp load of 10 Watts. The test results obtained, a solution without salt produces power of 0.94 Watt and a solution with a mass of salt 50 grams, 100 grams, 200 grams and 400 grams deliver electrical power of 3.43 Watts, 4.51 Watts, 6.17 Watts and 7.61 Watts while the conductivity of copper is 9.51 Watt. This shows that in the use of salt water as a conductor of electricity if the mass of salt increases, the conductivity of electricity produced will also be even greater.
Poética do esquecimento: uma aproximação à microficção de María Rosa Lojo
Authors: Marques Gracielle
Published: October 2019

O presente artigo se centra na análise de algumas microficções do livro Bosque de Ojos: microficciones y otros textos breves (2011), de María Rosa Lojo (1954 - Buenos Aires). Produzidas ao longo de mais de duas décadas de trabalho, as microficções lojeanas formam um conjunto marcado pela hibridez genérica, reforçando o caráter multifacetado de seu projeto literário. Muitos dessas formas breves compartilham traços genéricos e temáticos que ressignificam o “entre-lugar” cultural enraizado em sua biografia pessoal e familiar, de maneira singular. A partir do conceito de “objeto perdido” de Suárez-Araúz (1988) e dos estudos críticos sobre a microficção de Noguerol (2006), Zavala (2006), entre outros, esta análise objetivou estabelecer a relação entre a brevidade e a recriação da memória cindida, reflexo da diáspora galega. Como resultado da análise, em linhas gerais, é possível constatar que Lojo enriquece a dialética memória/esquecimento sob o ângulo dos objetos perdidos, expressão simbólica que funciona como matéria criativa para reinventar a identidade cultural, feita de lacunas.

Boolean Models Guide Intentionally Continuous Information and Computation Inside the Brain
Authors: Resconi Germano
Published: October 2019

In 1943 Machculloch and Pitts create the formal neuron where many input signals are linearly composed with different weights on the neuron soma. When the soma electrical signal goes over a specific threshold an output is produced. The main topic in this model is that the response is the same response as in a Boolean function used a lot for the digital computer. Logic functions can be simplified with the formal neuron. But there is the big problem for which not all logic functions, as XOR , cannot be designed in the formal neuron. After a long time the back propagation and many other neural models overcame the big problem in some cases but not in all cases creating a lot of uncertainty. The model proposed does not consider the formal neuron but the natural network controlled by a set of differential equations for neural channels that model the current and voltage on the neuron surface. The steady state of the probabilities is the activation state continuous function whose maximum and minimum are the values of the Boolean function associated with the activation time of spikes of the neuron. With this method the activation function can be designed when the Boolean functions are known. Moreover the neuron differential equation can be designed in order to realize the wanted Boolean function in the neuron itself. The activation function theory permits to compute the neural parameters in agreement with the intention.

Re-conceptualising the political subject: the importance of age for care theory
Authors: Lanoix Monique
Published: October 2019

Many gerontologists argue that citizenship should be re-conceptualised in order to include entitlements to care for persons with dementia. I agree with their claim; however, I put forward that what is needed is a re-conceptualisation of the citizen. Specifically, I argue that care theory must explicitly divest itself from an understanding of the citizen as an adult. My proposal is for a naturalised concept of the citizen, which means that it would be based on the reality of actual human beings. Citizens age, their abilities are diverse and these vary throughout their lifetimes.
Dementia service provision and the role and benefits of an Admiral Nurse service: the findings of a needs analysis in one area of rural England
Authors: Hole Chloe , Dening Karen Harrison

Mostly, do no harm: Representations of morality in the television medical drama The Resident
Authors: Nairn Angelique , Matthews Justin
Published: October 2019

Television programmes continue to impart ‘narratives, consumer choice’ and ‘moral predispositions’, although there is conjecture among scholars over the influence of television on the formation of a moral viewpoint in audiences. These components allow consumers to evaluate the content of television shows in the light of their own cultural understandings of morality and then either accept or reject them. This article uses thematic analysis to reveal patterns in the representations of moral ambiguity in the first season of the television show The Resident (2018–present), a contemporary US-based television series that is broadcast to global audiences in a number of international territories. The series explores the intricacies of hospital management, patient care and medical ethics particularly in light of increasing commercial pressures within a US context. Our analysis shows that the series grapples with four main themes: do no harm, experts and egos, money muddies morality and good versus evil, and in doing so, interrogates the basis of implicit knowledge about right, wrong and individual responsibility in western culture.
Witness... the authentic Katy Perry
Authors: Speakman Blair
Published: October 2019

While Katy Perry is a pop-superstar, known for her sexually explicit lyrics and catchy dance-pop songs, the release of her fourth studio album, Witness (2017), saw the singer attempt to distance herself from her ‘Katy Perry’ persona. According to Baudrillard, people feel so lost in an artificial world of simulacra that people cling nostalgically to reality, truth, and reason. Baudrillard’s claim that people cling to notions of reality and authenticity can be seen with Perry, who used Witness as a storytelling vehicle to ‘introduce’ the ‘real’ person behind the celebrity persona, Katheryn Hudson. By constructing the tale that Hudson is the singer’s true self, the perceived liberation of Perry from the shackles of her celebrity persona frames Witness as an era distinct from previous albums. This article will critically examine the construction of this story throughout the Witness era, discussing how the singer’s desire to be witnessed ultimately reiterates Meyers’ claim that celebrities can never be known. Although Perry attempts to reveal her authentic identity to fans by manufacturing a clear division between her celebrity persona, and the person behind the persona, this narrative raises issues around authenticity and reality, as the singer has arguably become lost in the hyperreal.
Reconciling the local and the global in the Brisbane independent fashion sector
Authors: Tuite Alexandra
Published: October 2019

The humid, sub-tropical city of Brisbane is Australia’s third-largest and one often regarded as culturally inferior to its southern counterparts Sydney and Melbourne. However, the city has supported a small but active independent fashion scene, and this article examines three of these businesses, exploring how they positioned themselves in relation to the global fashion industry. It contributes to literature on local fashion industries in New Zealand, Scandinavia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Challenges and opportunities presented to local fashion businesses are considered, and ways in which these have changed over time is also discussed. Case studies are drawn from a period between 1950 and 2018 and were purposively chosen so that contemporary case studies could be contextualized with historical examples. Research was conducted through archival research at the Queensland Museum, semi-structured interviews with participants and on-site observations. Findings confirm those of existing studies in the field that suggest local fashion businesses outside of large cities and dominant fashion centres may struggle to remain relevant in a fast-paced global industry, but have an opportunity to develop and foster close bonds to local cultural scenes and to contribute to place-making in the cities in which they are located.
‘There’s nothing I can do’: Bad faith and the narrative maintenance of ethical identifications
Authors: Avery-Natale Edward
Published: October 2019

It has often been emphasized in narrative sociology that individuals strive to present themselves in a good, ethical light and that they attempt to make themselves the protagonists of their own stories. However, less work has been done on what happens when individuals are confronted with a necessary contradiction in their narrative that conflicts with their subjective ethical positioning. In this article, I use evidence from my qualitative research into the anarcho-punk subculture in Philadelphia (2016) to show that in such a situation, the narrator may use what Jean-Paul Sartre called ‘bad faith’, the denial of personal responsibility or choice, to protect their ethical identification through narrative.

WHAT DRIVES MICROFINANCE CREDIT DISBURSEMENT? AN EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM INDONESIA’S RURAL BANKS (BPRs)
Authors: Pranata Nika , Nurzanah Nurzanah
Published: October 2019

The paper investigates determinants of Indonesia’s microfinance credit disbursement, case taken from Indonesia’s rural banks (BPRs) which primarily focus on providing funding to the Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs). The study applies Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model by using monthly data over the period of January 2009 to January 2016. Result indicates that rural banks credit disbursement is more determined by demand side rather than supply side as variable representing demand side (production index) has significant effect to credit disbursement both long run and short run. In terms of supply side, the amount of credit disbursement is affected by interbank fund in the long run, whereas in the short run the significant variables are customer fund and internal fund. In addition, Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Non-Performing Loan (NPL) impose significant effect to the microfinance credit disbursement; yet, interestingly, interest rate is not a significant factor in microfinance’s case.
The Aggregate and Residential Electricity Demand in Indonesia
Authors: Arnaz Muhammad Zulfizal
Published: October 2019

This paper presents an empirical analysis on electricity demand in Indonesia applying a double-log demand equation for aggregate and residential. This proposes static and dynamic models employing fixed effects and bias-corrected least square dummy variable estimators, respectively. Particular attention is paid to the effects of income, price, and the numbers of customers. The paper concludes that all regressors function as the determinants of electricity consumption. Price elasticities are inelastically negative as expected, and further, profound inelastic for residential. Meanwhile, income level and the number of customers are quite elastic for both models. In addition, interregional analysis reports the differential impacts of the price on energy consumption between Java Bali and non-Java Bali regions, showing less responsiveness of consumption to price in Java Bali. The long-run estimates give information on modest values of price elasticities for aggregate and residential. From an energy policy point of view, electricity price would be moderately effective in achieving efficiency and conservation programs. On the other hand, it gives an economic rationale for tariff adjustment and region-based tariff restructuring.

Determinants of Household’s’ Food and Nutrition Security in Indonesia
Authors: Lestari Esta
Published: October 2019

Indonesia has experienced a significant improvement in its status of food security, yet it is not followed by improvement in nutritional security. Number of regions with food insecurity decreased significantly however problems of malnutrition among children such as stunting rate peaked for above 37% and obesity rate for just below 20%; known as double-burden malnutrition. This study aimed to examine factors affecting the nutritional security for households in Indonesia by incorporating food and non-food data. Cross sectional regression model is employed from SUSENAS 2013 in which households’ food security is proxy by calorie intakes as a function of households’ expenditures, mother’s age, mother’s education, dummy of closet types, number of member in households, and dummy of access to clean water. The results showed that several variables are positively affects households’ dietary intake namely expenditure, mother’s age, and mother’s education. Moreover, the other variables are negatively and significantly affect food consumptions namely type of closet, number of family member and type of clean water. The result implies that the government need to take significant strategies and program to address problems of nutrition by conducting two strategies, 1) changes in households food consumption pattern through shifted mindset and perception of parents’ from knowledge (especially mothers’) in healthy food consumption, 2) improving infrastructure and access for clean water, sanitation, and social security to broaden access of poor for better health status.

The Populist and Nationalist Roots of Trump’s Rhetoric
Authors: Rowland Robert C.
Published: October 2019

Donald Trump’s campaign violated every rule of presidential campaigns, and few commentators thought that he had a chance to win the presidency. His success can be traced to the strong affective connection that he created with core supporters. Trump used a rhetoric of nationalist populism with a charismatic outsider persona, a rhetorical pattern that functioned as an affective genre, to create this connection. This pattern is evident in campaign rallies, his speech at the Republican National Convention, and his inaugural address. Trump’s successful use of a rhetoric of nationalist populism has important implications for the status of American democracy.

Microcirculatory disorders in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus with nephropathy and correction
Authors: Trusov V. V. , Aksenov K. V. , Cheremiskina I. B.
Published: October 2019

Despite the fact that the pathophysiology of vascular events is under intensive studies, their mechanisms have not been conclusively established so far. Greater and greater emphasis is recently laid on blood coagulative changes that are responsible for the development of angiopathies in the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM), the specific features of microcirculatory disorders and ways of their correction being insufficiently studied. The purpose of this study was to detect microcirculatory hemodynamic disorders in patients with type 1 DM in relation to the stage of diabetic neuropathy (DN) and to correct it with moxonidine, by evaluating its antihypertensive and nephroprotective effects. The study included 108 patients with type 1 DM whose age was 20 to 33 years. They were divided into 3 groups by the stages of DN according the to 2000 classification recommended by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The patients of these groups were examined in accordance with a special programme. The microcirculation was evaluated by using an original unit for computer-aided digital processing of microcirculatory images (S.B. Zhuplatov, 1994) based on the Knizelly bulbar biomicroscopic procedure (1968). The study has revealed that the severity of microcirculatory disorders depends on the stage of DN. Having a pronounced antihypertensive effect, moxonidine improves microcirculation, exerts a nephrotoxic effect, diminishes insulin resistance and may be used to correct blood pressure in patients with type 1 DM concurrent with DN.

Authors: Trailin A. V. , Kolesnik Yu. M. , Orlovsky M. A.
Published: October 2019

The purpose of this study was identification and evaluation of NPY-synthesizing cells of Langerhans ’ islets in Wistar rats in health, streptosotocin diabetes of different duration, and during chronic treatment of diabetic animals by synthetic NPY. NPY- and insulin-producing cells in the islets were identified by indirect immunofluorescence using Peninsula Laboratories Inc. kits (USA) and their status was analyzed by VIDAS-386 image processing (Kontron Elektronic, Germany). NPY-immunoreactive cells of different shape and size were detected in the islets of normal animals. Three-week development of diabetes led to more than twofold increase in their count in comparison with the control, indicating activation of the peptide synthesis, which normalized by day 35 of disease. Injection of synthetic peptide from day 26 to day 35 of diabetes largely restored the count and function of p-cells, prevented the inhibition of NPYsynthesis in the islets, and stimulated its secretion.
Etiological and clinical structure of primary chronic adrenal insufficiency: retrospective analysis of 426 cases
Authors: Fadeev V. V. , Buziashvili I. I. , Dedov I. I.
Published: October 2019

A retrospective analysis of case histories of 426 patients with primary chronic adrenal insufficiency (1-AI), followed up at Endocrinology Research Center, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, and/or Endocrinology Clinic of I. M. Setchenov Moscow Medical Academy in 1954-1977, was carried out in order to assess the etiological and clinical structure of this disease. The idiopathic form of Addison 's disease prevailed over its tuberculous form (70 and 30%), respectively); dynamic assessment of morbidity over the above period showed a progressive predominance of the idiopathic form. 1-AI is more than 2 times more incident in women, and the incidence of the disease in women vs. men is ever growing. There are at least 2.5 times more women than men among patients with idiopathic Addison's disease, while for the tuberculous form the ratio is 1:1. The mean age of 1-AI manifestation is 34.3 ± 0.46 years. The peak of clinical manifestation of idiopathic Addison's disease occurs between 20 and 40 years (at the age of 32.8 years on average), while for the tuberculous form this age is 30-50 years (37.4), which indicates a later manifestation of this form (p < 0.01). In 28%) cases idiopathic Addison's disease coursed in the presence of autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS): type 1 in 3%o and type II in 25% cases. Dynamic assessment of the ratio of the incidence of 1-AI alone to that in the presence of APS showed that from the thirties to the fifties, idiopathic Addison's disease was a component of APS in 13 % cases and by the eighties and nineties this values increased to 34%), which permits a conclusion about pathomorphism of 1-AI, consisting in gradual transfer of this disease into APS. Many patients with 1-AI develop concomitant autoimmune diseases; analysis of family history of such patients reveals autoimmune diseases in close relatives in many cases, while the majority of patients with the tuberculous form of Addison 5 disease have a family history of tuberculosis.

La vanguardia Bachueísta y los modos de ver el cuerpo en las artes de la primera mitad del siglo XX colombiano
Authors: Soler Rubio Ricardo
Published: October 2019

Este texto propone dos momentos: primero, un breve recorrido de la coyuntura en la cual surge y es invisibilizado El Bachueísmo como movimiento artístico de vanguardia en Colombia; segundo, la revisión de algunas de las obras y trayectorias de los integrantes, en donde el cuerpo racializado —que en este movimiento ingresa al régimen de lo visible en el campo del arte— entra en tensión con los proyectos estéticos dominantes de la época a nivel nacional. Además, desde una lectura contemporánea se reflexiona sobre las conexiones del bachueísmo con el arte latinoamericano del mismo siglo, así como de la potencialidad de lo visual para interpelar el régimen estético colonial de la mirada que ha imperado históricamente en la academia de artes colombiana.

Dicha realidad virtual ha permitido el acercamiento de la tecnología con la educación, proporcionando herramientas nuevas y didácticas a los maestros de diferentes disciplinas; sin embargo, a lo anterior se aúnan los altos costos de los implementos para un laboratorio, así como los bajos presupuestos asignados para dotación o a la planta física de colegios colombianos, por lo que es limitado contar con laboratorios equipados que apoyen los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Por lo anterior, el presente artículo describe el desarrollo de un laboratorio de realidad virtual que permite realizar prácticas virtuales en el tema de metales alcalinos. La evaluación satisfactoria del laboratorio obtenido se realizó en el centro educativo Tunjita, ubicado en zona rural del departamento de Boyacá, Colombia

Published: October 2019

Wind energy is one of the best important sources of renewable energy and an excellent alternative for the transition to sustainable energy that the planet earth needs. The wind energy is contained in the air particles in movement, forming kinetic energy.  This energy could be transformed into another type of energy such as electricity, through the use of wind turbines. It is known that horizontal axis wind turbines are more efficient energetically, the power output of a horizontal axis wind turbine depends of it aerodynamic performance; therefore, the correct geometric design of the propeller is essential for an optimum wind turbine. This article analyzes the most relevant aspects in the design of a wind propeller, using MATLAB® software to illustrate its behavior, suggests an ideal airfoil for wind applications to use in the 3D modeling of the blades using the computer assisted design, this blades has been built with a 3D printer.

Published: October 2019

El discurso de un hombre decente (Bruselas 2011 - Medellín 2012) es la segunda parte del tríptico "Anatomía de la violencia en Colombia". Si el núcleo problemático de la primera parte fue la tensión entre la celebración y las masacres perpetradas por los paramilitares; el segundo se centrará en la relación entre la fiesta y el tema del narcotráfico, antes de abordar, en la última parte del tríptico, la tensión entre la fiesta y la revolución, desde la perspectiva de la guerra de guerrillas: tercer tema sensible y difícil de la historia contemporánea de Colombia.
Dibujo de ciudad, economimesis de lo sacro
Authors: Benavides Narváez Jhon Felipe
Published: October 2019

Dibujo de ciudad. Economimesis de lo sacro, establece una relación del dibujante con la figura de Cristo dada la fuerte presencia en la ciudad de San Juan de Pasto, con ello el texto es una reflexión sobre la sacralidad en términos del espacio del dibujo cuya existencia se debe a una relación con lo otro, pero también con el cuerpo dislocado y expuesto del artista. La sacralidad se hace figura, dando sentido a un cuerpo que se complejiza por la concepción particular del pastuso sobre la imagen religiosa y que de manera polivalente se sustenta en obra y narración con los dibujantes invocados.
Is Factor V Leiden a Risk Factor for Fetal Loss?
Authors: Dulíček Petr , Chrobák Ladislav , Kalousek Ivo , Pešavová Lenka , Pecka Miroslav , Stránský Pravoslav
Published: October 2019

A successful pregnancy is dependent on the development of adequate placental circulation. The abnormalities of placental vasculature may result in a number of gestational pathologies, including fetal loss. The aim of our study was to determine whether women with f V Leiden are at an increased risk of pregnancy loss. For this purpose we assessed three groups of women. In a prospective group we examined 30 females with spontaneous abortions for f V Leiden. In a retrospective group we assessed the frequency of abortions in 80 women (l72 pregnancies) with f V Leiden (72 heterozygous, 8 homozygous) from 57 unrelated families. In a control group we evaluated the frequency of abortions in 45 women without f V Leiden. Factor V Leiden was found in 3% of women in the 1st group. Fetal loss occurred in 10% of women in the 2nd group and in 9% in the 3rd group. Factor V Leiden was not found to be a risk factor for fetal loss in our study group.
Effect of various nanoadditives on the performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine fuelled with jojoba biodiesel – diesel blends: A review
Authors: Agarwal Swati , Khan Suphiya
Published: October 2019

The review reports the results of various researches work on the engine performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine using different nanoadditives in jojoba biodiesel - diesel blends. Blending of diesel with biodiesel in a diesel engine has gained importance, due to its economical and environmental benefits. Jojoba biodiesel gained an importance as an alternative fuel over conventional diesel fuel even with their unfavorable effects of power reduction. The wide spread usage of nanoadditives to improve the combustion quality may be a good solution of this problem. Blending of nanoparticles as an additives in biodiesel – diesel blends improves the thermophysical properties, such as thermal conductivity, mass diffusivity and high surface area-to-volume ratio. Based on the results available in the literature, it has been found that nanoadditives with jojoba biodiesel - diesel blends improve the performance of diesel engine and reduced the emission of toxic gases depending upon the dosage of the nanoadditives.

The Motivation Based on Customer Interaction
Authors: Ahmed Muhammad S , Weisgerber John
Published: October 2019

Many factors and theories of motivation apply broadly to workers regardless of profession.  The prior research has shown that engineers and knowledge workers are highly motivated by intrinsic and non-monetary factors such as challenging work, recognition for good results, and the opportunity for professional growth.  Therefore, the nature of their assigned tasks and their ability to complete their work in an efficient and robust way are highly related to motivation.  Product Development Engineers (PDEs) play a crucial role in creating value and revenue for companies via the development of useful new products for customers. It is, however, a general observation that PDEs in automotive companies, especially at original equipment manufacturer, OEM, levels, often have minimal or no interaction with the end customer. With the advent of hybrid, electric, and autonomous vehicles, PDE working in the automotive industry, APDEs, has seen a shift in their role and responsibilities from traditional automotive PDEs. APDEs mostly receive customer input indirectly from management or through a marketing organization.  This is in contrast to other professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and architects who frequently interact directly with their customers. 
This paper presents the finding of qualitative research, examining the relationship between APDEs interaction with customers, and achieving clear customer inputs. The paper investigates differences among various types of APDEs and seeks further insights as to the motivational impact of customer inputs on automotive PDEs. It also probes the question if there are any differences among various types of automotive PDEs when it comes to motivation. The paper concludes that, for some types of APDEs, the lack of customer interaction is a motivational disadvantage while for the others it is not. It also concludes that further research needs to be conducted in order to find the reasons for such discrepancies.

Integration Rice Price And Farmers Welfare With Error Correction Model Analysis
Authors: Makbul Yogi
Published: October 2019

This research analyzes the short- and long-term influence of rice prices on the welfare of Indonesian farmers using an error correction model. Drawing upon data from Indonesia's Central Bureau of Statistics, it reveals that rice prices exert significant positive short-run effects and no significant long-run influence on farmers' welfare. These findings extend or refine results from earlier studies that lack the time series perspective of our research. They also support policy intervention by the Indonesian government to increase farmers' welfare and assure food supply.
