The Influence of the Fundamental Factors on Plantation Companies’ Firm Value on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
Authors: Pratiwi Siska Gita , Robiyanto Robiyanto , Harijono Harijono
Published: February 2021

Objective: Indonesia’s economic growth is mostly supported by the agricultural sector in which the plantation sub-sector has a significant contribution to the primary sector in the sectoral index of Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Plantation companies have a long-term goal of maximizing shareholder prosperity by increasing company values. This study aimed to determine the influence of fundamental factors on company values of plantation companies listed on the IDX during 2015-2019. Research Design & Methods: This study used secondary data involving 8 samples of plantation companies listed on the IDX using a purposive sampling method and panel regression analysis techniques. Research data was taken from the annual reports on the IDX. Findings: The results showed that Managerial Ownership (MO), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Earnings per Share (EPS), and Company Age (AGE) have a positive correlation to Firm Value (FV). However, the probability of MO, EPS, AGE is not significant and only DER has a significant effect on FV. Recommendations: There is a blemish in research for further research that is expanding the scope of research, and future studies is suggested to analyze the fundamental influence on FV before and during the Covid-19 period. This cannot be done in this study because the data is still limited. Contribution & Value Added: This result contributes to the financial literature and can be a consideration for investors in investment based on company value.

O hipotireoidismo acomete parte significativa da população e causa distúrbios, especialmente de caráter metabólico, que afetam a saúde das pessoas acometidas. A formação de tumores, que podem ser agressivos e migrar para diferentes tecidos, o que torna essa doença potencialmente letal e de difícil cura se diagnosticada tardiamente, é conhecida como câncer. Sua etiologia é muito complexa e está relacionada a fatores possivelmente influenciados pelo hipotireoidismo. O objetivo do presente trabalho é buscar na literatura médica a possível relação entre hipotireoidismo e o desenvolvimento e a progressão do câncer. Esse estudo é uma revisão integrativa de literatura baseada em publicações das bases de dados: PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e EBSCOHost. As palavras chaves usadas para fazer as buscas foram: “hipotireoidismo”, “neoplasia” ou “metástase neoplásica”. Os critérios de inclusão para seleção dos artigos utilizados foram: textos integrais publicados a partir de 2015, na língua portuguesa ou inglesa. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão foram encontrados 404 artigos, dos quais 34 foram selecionados após a leitura dos títulos; desses 34 artigos, 15 foram escolhidos para a discussão dessa revisão após a leitura crítica de cada um deles. Conclui-se que o hipotireoidismo pode ser um fator de risco para os cânceres endometrial, colorretal e pituitário e a sua relação com o câncer de mama e o carcionoma hepatocelular ainda é ambígua, precisando de mais estudos para ser elucidada.
Estimating poverty transitions in Mozambique using synthetic panels: A validation exercise and an application to cross-sectional survey data
Authors: Salvucci Vincenzo , Tarp Finn
Published: February 2021

In this paper we first validate the use of the synthetic panels technique in the context of the 2014/15 intra-year panel survey data for Mozambique, and then apply the same technique to the 1996/97, 2002/03, 2008/09, and 2014/15 cross-sectional household budget surveys for the same country. We find that in most analyses poverty rates and poverty transitions estimated using synthetic panels provide results that are close to the true values obtained using the 2014/15 panel data. With respect to intra-year poverty dynamics, we find that Mozambique has a high intra-year variability in consumption and poverty, and a very high degree of intra-year poverty immobility, with a big portion of the population remaining either in poverty or out of poverty over the whole year, with smaller percentages of individuals moving upward or downward. With respect to the 1996/97, 2002/03, 2008/09, and 2014/15 cross-sectional surveys, our results suggest that in most year-to-year comparisons there is a greater proportion of people getting out of poverty than falling into poverty, consistent with the poverty-reduction process observed, but the percentage of people staying in poverty over time appears to be substantially higher, involving about one-third of the population in most years. Further analyses on the 2008/09 and 2014/15 surveys estimate that for an individual who was in the vulnerable group in 2008/09, there is a 60 per cent probability of remaining in the same group, whereas the probability of becoming non-vulnerable is lower than the probability of entering poverty. This constitutes the first attempt to provide an insight into poverty dynamics in Mozambique using all the available survey data.

Performance-based Design

Michalatos and Kaijima underline in their paper ‘Structural Information as Material for Design’ (2007) the importance to approach an informed design consistency and respect the “criteria of efficiency, architectural intentions as well as intrinsic properties of the geometry” rather than simple structural optimization of a certain design. Our paper investigates this consistency between architecture and structure within the framework of parametric modeling, which requires architects, engineers and constructors to re-evaluate the feedback loop between how things are designed and constructed. As Mario Carpo (2008) points out CAD and CAM technologies have overthrown the “Albertian Paradigm” which claims that architects should not make things, but should just design and annotate them. As digital tools can be used to design and fabricate at the same time, CAD-CAM technologies have already started to bridge the gap between designers and makers. One of the most influential form related factors on the lighting situation inside the building is – due to its shading behaviour – the dimension and position of the supporting structure of the façade. It is important to investigate these positions at the beginning in-depth, since they serve as hypothesis for the entire planning process. In order to compare a catalogue of various design approaches and different designs in a timely manner, a parametric model has been built defining the rough form of the design.
Smartsurfaces: A Multidisciplinary, Hands -on Think Tank

Published: February 2021

New design practices are emerging that span multiple traditional disciplinary boundaries. As these new models of practice manifest, new pedagogies also become necessary, often challenging both existing educational models and institutional constraints as a result. Gibbons, et al1 questioned the adequacy of traditional disciplinary structures within universities in the context of broader social, technological and economic contexts. The Association of American Colleges and Universities have argued that universities need to change their practices to develop students as “…integrative thinkers who can see connections in seemingly disparate information and draw on a wide range of knowledge to make decisions.”2 The National Academies have recommended, “…students should seek out interdisciplinary experiences, such as courses at the interfaces of traditional disciplines…”3 and that “…schools introduce interdisciplinary learning in the undergraduate environment, rather than having it as an exclusive feature of the graduate programs.”4 As indicated above, there has been much calling for cross-disciplinarity in education but to date there has been little investigation on the impact of cross-disciplinary courses on learning, especially in comparison to teaching that is more discipline-specific. For educators a central question arises: How do we prepare students to be extra-disciplinary thinkers and doers with “habits of mind”5 that prepare them to make the sort of hybrid responses that complex performance problems demand?

Published: February 2021

The research question at the center of this paper was initiated in response to my participation in a larger Department of Energy funded project awarded to the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster for Energy Efficient Buildings (GPIC). My particular research initiatives within GPIC are focused on developing a roadmap of use by architects, engineers, builders and building owners for the successful implementation and market adoption of rigorous Integrated Design Practices in the energy efficient retrofit of buildings in a 10 county region of the Mid Atlantic region, that includes the city of Philadelphia and its Navy Yard. A group of computer scientists and building engineers comprise the Integrated Technologies Team, whose “subtask [is to] utilize models, tools, and methods developed by the Design Tools Team for rapid synthesis of systems.” 1 And a sub-group of researchers from the Architecture Department at the University of Pennsylvania is more broadly devising innovative Integrated Design strategies that can be implemented in the process of whole building design of high performance buildings.

EFL Students’ Speaking Activities: The Significance of Games in Classroom Context
Authors: Fikroni Moh. Rofid
Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT

The learning process of language teaching seems to be very demanding and complicated, especially for speaking skill. Speaking, alongside with writing, is considered to be productive skill in which it requires students to produce the language in spoken form. The students need to be able to speak the language by considering some aspects of speaking such as fluency and accuracy. In other words, not only the student has to speak correctly, but also it has to be as smooth as possible. Such particular case becomes one of the reasons why it is difficult to master the skill itself. in another case, it has become much more difficult for the students to grasp the speaking material. Moreover, designing a speaking environment for language teaching in classroom context is no difference. Due to the fact that the scope of speaking skill is complex, the students are reluctant to say something or use the language. That is why the English teacher needs to come up with specific plans to teach English as second or foreign language. One of ways to overcome the problem is by implementing game. The nature of game will help the English teacher to develop such amusing and enjoyable atmosphere in the teaching and learning process.

Low-frequency sound absorbing metasurface using multilayer split resonators
Authors: Takasugi Shota , Watanabe Keita , Misawa Masaaki , Tsuruta Kenji
Published: February 2021

Among the acoustic metasurfaces that can control the propagation of sound waves with the structure far thinner than the wavelength at the operating frequency, the split tube structure has shown its effectiveness in the lower frequency band. Here we focus on multiply layered split tubes to broaden the absorption spectrum. By numerical analysis, we show up-to six-layer structure possessing wideband (1–1000 Hz) sound absorption. The absorbing peaks in the frequency band below 1000 Hz are shown to be multiplexed not only by simple superposition of vibrational modes of each layer, but also by hybridization of the modes indicating collective motion of tubes.
Experimental analysis of linear and nonlinear ultrasonic scatterings at closed fatigue crack using fixed-voltage fundamental wave amplitude difference with radarlike display
Authors: Ohara Yoshikazu , Umezaki Taisei , Carcreff Ewen , Haupert Sylvain , Tsuji Toshihiro , Mihara Tsuyoshi
Published: February 2021

Although the understanding of the nonlinear ultrasonic scattering at closed cracks is essential for the practical application of nonlinear ultrasonic phased array, it has yet to be elucidated because of the lack of experimental techniques. This study proposes fixed-voltage fundamental wave amplitude difference (FAD) with radarlike display. We first describe the principle and imaging algorithm of the proposed method. In order to demonstrate the proposed imaging technique, we formed a closed fatigue crack in an aluminum-alloy specimen. After confirming the imaging capability of confocal fixed-voltage FAD, we examined the linear and nonlinear ultrasonic scatterings depending on incident angles with the radarlike display. As a result, we found that the nonlinear ultrasonic scattering was more sensitive to the incident angle than the linear one. We also interpreted the results with the absolute displacement of the incident wave amplitude. Thus, we demonstrated that fixed-voltage FAD with radarlike display is useful in obtaining physical insights and optimizing inspection conditions.
STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF METHYL PREDNISOLONE AS PULSE THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH TUBERCULOUS MENINGITIS IN RIMS RANCHI, JHARKHAND, INDIA

Published: February 2021

The common presentation of tuberculosis is common but uncommon presentation of tuberculosis is not so uncommon. Mycobacterium tuberculosis can affect any part of the body, at any age and in any form. Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a serious form of tuberculosis that affects meninges (coverings of brain and spinal cord) which are responsible for many deaths (1). It is associated with high mortality and morbidity. The steroids appear to reduce mortality in the patients of tuberculous meningitis, regardless of the MRC stage at presentation. Corticosteroids have been used as an adjunct to anti-tuberculous drugs to treat patients with tuberculous meningitis (3,4,5,6).
The present study has been undertaken to evaluate the effects of short course, high dose of intravenous methylprednisolone (pulse therapy) versus intravenous dexamethasone (in conventional dose) as an adjunct to anti-tuberculous treatment, on the clinical, biochemical and radiological outcome in patients with tuberculous meningitis.
A total of 94 TBM patients were enrolled for this study. 49 TBM patients as a case were given IV infusion of high dose methylprednisolone (1g/day for 5 days) and forty five TBM patients as control were given IV dexamethasone in conventional dose (0.4mg/kg/day divided in 3-4 doses) along with antituberculous therapy. Detailed clinical, biochemical, microbiological and radiological evaluation were performed and findings were evaluated.
TBM is considered as a serious extrapulmonary form of TB (Tuberculosis) and should arise suspicion in mind of clinicians based on clinical findings for prompt diagnosis and treatments. In various studies it has been shown that corticosteroids used for longer periods in TBM patients along with antituberculous drugs, were associated with reduced mortality and morbidity but increased adverse effects.

Published: February 2021

Ventral hernia is a common condition treated by general surgeons. Open ventral mesh hernia repair has been in practice; the high failure rates have led to the rise of minimally invasive techniques. The da Vinci robot-assisted repair is a minimally invasive technique that provides an advantage of three-dimensional imaging, precise suturing, and dissection at difficult angles. In this study, we share our experience of robot assisted retro rectus ventral hernia repair (RRVH) in four patients. Retro rectus mesh placement has the advantage of fewer chances of exposure of the mesh and a low operative cost, as polypropylene mesh can be used. Of the four patients, 3 were females, and one was male with a mean age of 46.5±6.5 SD. The mean operative time was 175±28.7 minutes for skin-to-skin completion and 151.25 ± 26.07 minutes for console duration. There were no intra-operative complications. Post-operatively, the average pain score on the day of surgery was 1.75±0.43 SD (on a scale from 0 to 10) and on the first postoperative day was 0.5 ± 0.5 SD. The average length of hospital stay was 2.25±0.43 SD days. None of the patients had seroma, surgical site infection, adhesive bowel obstruction, or recurrence of hernia on one month and six months follow up. RRVH has an advantage regarding the decreased postoperative pain and early return to daily activities. This technique promotes the usage of polypropylene mesh, which reduces the cost of surgery.

TITLE Efficacy of autologous platelet rich plasma over conventional mechanical fixation methods in split thickness skin grafting . AIMS AND OBJECTIVES to determine the efficacy of autologous platelet rich plasma over conventional mechanical fixation methods in split thickness skin grafting. METHODS  This a prospective randomized controlled study, conducted in the Department of surgery, SAIMS Medical College and P.G Institute, Indore for a period of two years from September 2016 to September 2018. A total of 20 patients were included in the study, and divided into two groups of 10 each randomly. The study was approved by the local ethical committee of our hospital. An informed written consent was obtained from all patients.  Total of 20 patients were studied; 10 cases were randomly chosen for study with autologous platelet rich plasma and 10 cases received conventional methods like staples/sutures used to anchor the skin grafts in a control group. RESULTS Autologous PRP showed faster and better healing rates. With PRP study group instant graft adherence was seen in all cases. Hematoma, graft edema, discharge from graft site, frequency of dressings and duration of stay in hospital were significantly less in the PRP. There were no adverse effects or reactions seen with the use of autologous PRP among the study group. CONCLUSION  The combination of PRP with Split Thickness Skin Graft (STSG) significantly improved clinical outcomes and shortened the wound healing time. Therefore, this treatment combination could provide a way to heal skin after skin graft reconstruction with minimal recovery time. It is found to be highly beneficial in many aspects both to the patient and surgeon based on our results.
Resource Allocation using Deep Learning in Mobile Small Cell Networks

The deployment of mobile-Small cells (mScs) is widely adopted to intensify the quality-of-service (QoS) in high mobility vehicles. However, the rapidly varying interference patterns among densely deployed mScs make the resource allocation (RA) highly challenging. In such scenarios, RA problem needs to be solved nearly in real-time, which can be considered as drawback for most existing RA algorithms. To overcome this constraint and solve the RA problem efficiently, we use deep learning (DL) in this work due to its ability to leverage the historical data in RA problem and to deal with computationally expensive tasks offline. More specifically, this paper considers the RA problem in vehicular environment comprising of city buses, where DL is explored for optimization of network performance. Simulation results reveal that RA in a network using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm outperforms other machine learning (ML) and DL-based RA mechanisms. Moreover, RA using LSTM provides less accurate results as compared to existing Time Interval Dependent Interference Graph (TIDIG)-based, and Threshold Percentage Dependent Interference Graph (TPDIG)-based RA but shows improved results when compared to RA using Global Positioning System Dependent Interference Graph (GPSDIG). However, the proposed scheme is computationally less expensive in comparison with TIDIG and TPDIG-based algorithms.
Global History, Area studies, and the Idea of Europe
Authors: Stanziani Alessandro
Published: February 2021

In most history departments on the European continent Europe is History while the history of other regions only can be described as “area studies.” This paper investigates the long-term origins of these attitudes, since Humanism and the Enlightenment, down to Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries forms of history writing. It finally suggests to overcome area studies and decentralise social sciences.

The purpose of this text is to present an outline of the dialogical concept of legal interpretation. It involves the need to establish the relationship between the legislature and courts. In the normative dimension, this concept includes an analysis of assumptions about the mutual roles of the legislature and courts in determining the substance of the law. In the descriptive dimension, the authors present tools that enable communication between the legislature and courts in order to improve the interpretation process. The authors describe the requirements for communication between courts and the legislature, and refer to existing solutions in Poland and the United States. In the text the importance of this issue is only signaled, but the authors believe that it is worth further research.
