OBTAINING AND CHARACTERISTICS OF CALCIUM ORGANIC FORMS ON THE BASIS OF METABOLITES AND PROCESSING PRODUCTS OF PROBIOTIC BACTERIA
Authors: Kapustian A. , Cherno N. , Nikulina О.
Published: July 2018

The possibility of obtaining bioavailable mixed ligand chelate complexes of calcium has been considered. As bioligands, it is proposed to use the metabolic products of probiotic bacteria combination and products of enzymatic hydrolysis of peptidoglycans of their cell walls. The culture fluid of probiotic bacteria composition has been investigated for the determination of metabolites in its composition that can participate in the formation of calcium chelate complexes. The qualitative composition and quantitative content of organic acids of a culture fluid have been determined. It has been established that it contains the following acids: oxalic (1.6 mg/dm3), citric (22.1 mg/dm3), acetic (575.8 mg/dm3), lactic (236.3 mg/dm3), benzoic (1.5 mg/dm3). In addition, it has been found that in the composition of the culture liquid, free amino acids and soluble protein are also present in the amount of 1.2 mg/cm3 and 5 mg/cm3, respectively.In order to obtain fragments of peptidoglycans of cell walls of probiotic bacteria as potential bioligands for complex formation, their enzymatic hydrolysis with pancreatin has been performed. It has been established that the highest content of biologically active muropeptides is 5.1 mg/cm3 and it is accumulated during hydrolysis of the substrate for 180 minutes, the ratio of enzyme: substrate 1: 100 and 5.1 mg/cm3.By methods of nephelometry and spectrophotometry, it has been established that the obtained mixed ligand systems are effective chelating agents and, depending on the composition, bind calcium in amounts of 9, 14 and 16 mg/cm3. Identification of the pH stability of the complex has been shown that in the range of pH values 4–7, the chelate system is stable, at pH 2 only 10% of the complex is stored, at pH 9 60% is preserved. By method of differential scanning calorimetry the thermostability of the complex has been investigated. It has been established that the complex is stable in the temperature range of 20–122°С, and therefore can be used in the composition of health foods, the technology of which involves high-temperature processing.

Authors: OLA-FADUNSIN Shola D. , GIMBA Fufa I. , ABDULLAH Donea A. , KONTO Mohammed
Published: June 2018

Ectoparasitism is the most devastating parasitic condition of poultry after coccidiosis. The present study was conducted to identify the risk factors associated with avian ectoparasitism in Osun State, Nigeria. Data was obtained from avian species presented at the major Veterinary Hospitals in Osun State between January 2006 and December 2015. A total of 4,584 avian species were presented in the period under review. Of the presented birds, 2,665 (58.14%) were young, while 1,919 (41.86%) were adults. One thousand nine hundred and ninety four (43.50%) were male and 2,590 (56.50%) were female. More birds (2,868, 62.57%) were presented during the wet season compared to the dry season (1,716, 37.43%). Turkeys 2,088 (45.55%) were the most frequently presented bird type, followed by layers 1,476 (32.20%) and local chickens 1,020 (22.25%). A total of 324 (7.07%) avian species were diagnosed for ectoparasitic infestations, of which lice infestation was the most prevalent (216, 4.71%) followed by flea infestation (72, 1.57%), tick infestation (24, 0.52%) and mite infestation (12, 0.26%). There was no defined pattern in the yearly and monthly prevalence of ectoparasite infestations. Age, sex, seasons and species were significantly associated (P<0.05) with the prevalence of ectoparasitic infestations. The study showed a low prevalence of ectoparasite infestations among avian species in the study area; however strategic measures should be taken to control these ectoparasites in Osun State, Nigeria, so as to maximize productivity in the poultry sector.
Hybridization in Four Nigerian Physalis (Linn.) Species
Authors: AZEEZ Sekinat Okikiola , FALUYI Julius Olaoye
Published: June 2018

Interspecific reciprocal crosses among four Nigerian Physalis species (Physalis angulata, P. micrantha, P. pubescens and P. peruviana) were carried out by transferring desired pollen grains to ovalate parents, bagged and labelled to prevent contamination by external pollen grains and for easy identification. Pollen cells of the F1 hybrid combination from the only viable cross (P. angulata x P. pubescens) were studied using standard cytogenetic techniques. The F1 hybrid obtained in the current investigation produced few flower buds and no matured fruit was harvested. Its average pollen grain diameter was found within the range of that of the two genitors and the pollen stainability was less than 50%. The hybrid was also characterized by meiotic irregularities. Based on the results obtained, the study concluded that P. pubescens is closely related to P. angulata and P. peruviana, while P. micrantha is more distant from them since the formal individuals were able to cross reciprocally among each other, though no matured fruit was produced except in one cross (P. angulata x P. pubescens).
Perfecting the Pitch: What Constitutes Sufficient Contribution to Give Rise to Joint Authorship?
Authors: Antoniou Alexandros
Published: July 2018

The article discusses the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court (IPEC) judgment on the ‘Florence Foster Jenkins’ case, which concerned the nature and extent of the defendant’s contribution to the writing of a screenplay and whether that contribution was sufficient to give rise to joint authorship in a copyright work within the meaning of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1998. It considers the distinction between ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’ skill proposed by the court and the significance of the decision for the industry.
"Violence" In Sport and the Violenti non Fit Iniuria Defence: A Perspective on the Death of the Cricket Player Phil Hughes
Authors: Labuschagne Pieter
Published: July 2018

The article evaluates the defence of violenti non fit inuiria in sport with specific reference to the principle of bones mores or the good morals in society to tolerate injuries in sport. The increase occurrences of serious injuries in sport in the professional era, where sportsmen earn their livelihood from sport, necessitate a revisit of the existing situation. The death of the Australian cricket player, Phil Hughes, as a result of fast short-pitched bowling in cricket, has again put the spotlight on aggressive and excessive use of "violence" in sport. The malicious intent in sport, to harm and even kill an opponent, has warranted and necessitated the question as to whether there should be any difference in the manner in which the perpetrator of violence in sport should be treated compared to ordinary criminal law assault and murder offenders. In the article a two-pronged approach is suggested as a possible solution to deal with wrongfulness in cricket.
The Legal Nature of the Embryo: Legal Subject or Legal Object?
Authors: Robinson Robbie
Published: July 2018

This contribution addresses the question regarding the legal nature of a cryopreserved embryo. Such preservation is a relatively modern development in the medical field. Neither Tennessee (USA) law nor European law provides an acceptable explanation regarding its legal nature. It is argued herein that this is mainly due to the fact that rather unscientific language is applied. It is suggested that the using of concise legal terminology may contribute to a better understanding. The terms legal subject and object and legal subjectivity are well-known and have definite legal content. By drawing an analogy between the legal status of an infant and such embryos, the conclusion is reached that embryos are not legal subjects sui iuris but indeed share the legal subjectivity of their parents.
Pre-agreement assessment as a responsible lending tool in South Africa, the EU and Belgium: Part 1
Authors: Van Heerden Corlia Maritha , Stteennot Reinhard n/a
Published: July 2018

Responsible lending has become a very pertinent issue on the agenda of credit regulators across the globe who seek to combat the causes of consumer over-indebtedness. In this context the use of “pre-agreement assessment” as a tool to filter out those instances where, based on a consumer’s creditworthiness or ability to repay, credit should not be granted to such consumer, is a feature common to the lending regimes of various jurisdictions.This contributionÂ  consists of two parts: PartÂ 1 provides a critical discussion of the reckless credit provisions of the National Credit Act 34 of 2005. PartÂ 2 detailsÂ the responsible lending measures contained in the EU Consumer Credit Directive and the EU Mortgage Credit Directive and providesÂ an appraisal of the responsible lending measures introduced by Belgium, being a jurisdiction that has always been very pro-active in the context of consumer credit protection.
Some Drastic Measures to Close a Loophole: The Case of Pienaar Brothers (PTY) LTD v Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service (87760/2014) [2017] ZAGPPHC 231 (29 May 2017) and the Targeted Retroactive Amendment of Section 44 of the Income Tax
Authors: Tredoux Liezel Gaynor , Van Zyl Stephanus Phillipus
Published: July 2018

A taxpayer has the right to arrange his tax affairs within the constraints of the law to his best advantage to pay the least amount of tax. Coupled with this right is the taxpayer's right to certainty, which entails that the time of payment of taxes, the manner of payment, and the amount of payment must be clear and plain to the taxpayer and to any other person. Accordingly, a taxpayer must have peace of mind that revenue laws will not be amended arbitrarily, retrospectively, and with the effect that the taxpayer's position is affected negatively. The South African tax legislation allows the deferral of tax liability when amalgamation transactions, asset for share transactions, and mergers and acquisitions are embarked upon by a taxpayer. This article analyses the judgment in Pienaar v Commissioner: South African Revenue Services (87760/2014) [2017] ZAGPPHC 231 (29 May 2017) critically with specific reference to amalgamation transactions, the taxpayer's right to tax certainty, and the application of retroactive amendments to completed transactions
Values and the Rule of Law: Foundations of the European Union – An Inside Perspective from the ECJ
Authors: Von Danwitz Thomas
Published: July 2018

Let us remember what has been written, ratified and set into force with the Treaty of Lisbon. The preamble of the Charter of Fundamental Rights starts out by stating: "The peoples of Europe, in creating an ever closer union among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values." And it goes on: "Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice." Even if a cynic might have considered these words to be merely a lip service unlikely to disturb the power-play European governments were so eagerly engaged in, the Charter nonetheless became the supreme law of the land and the preferred tools of the trade of a rather awkward species of beings, already of bad repute for relying on the mere wording of legal acts, and even worse, for taking rights seriously: judges - in particular those of the European Court of Justice.

MICRO-MORAL WORLDS OF CONTENTIOUS POLITICS: A RECONCEPTUALIZATION OF RADICAL GROUPS AND THEIR INTERSECTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER AND THE MAINSTREAM*
Authors: Busher Joel , Morrison John F.
Published: July 2018

The emergence or resurgence of radical political groups invariably provokes a struggle between activists, academics, commentators, and policymakers over the set of terms that best correspond to the group in question. While such debates are an integral part of political practice, scrutinizing the claims made in these debates reveals significant limitations in standard strategies of description—most notably their inability to satisfactorily render either the essential cultural messiness and dynamism of contentious politics or the intersections between the so-called extreme and mainstream. We propose an alternative, albeit not mutually exclusive, strategy of description. This entails mapping what we call the micro-moral worlds of contentious politics—the patchwork of intersubjective contexts of belief and behavior through which activism takes place. We illustrate this with two empirical cases: The English Defence League in Britain and Republican Sinn Fein in Ireland.
Creation of a generalized model prediction of inhibition of neuraminidase of influenza virus of various strains
Authors: Mikurova A.V. , Skvortsov V.S.
Published: July 2018

Preliminary results of construction of overall model for prediction of IC50 value of ligands of influenza virus neuraminidase of any strain are presented. We used MM-PBSA (MM-GBSA) energy terms calculated for the complexes obtained after modeling of 30 variants of neuraminidase structures, subsequent docking and simulation of molecular dynamics as independent variables in prediction equations. The structures of known neuraminidase-inhibiting drugs (oseltamivir, zanamivir and peramivir) and a neuraminidase substrate (MUNANA) were used as ligands. The correlation equation based on calculated energetic parameters of inhibitor complexes with neuraminidase did not result in the prediction of IC50 with acceptable parameters (R2£0.3). However, if information about binding energy of the substrate used for neuraminidase assay (and IC50 detection) is included the resulting IC50 prediction equations become significant (R2³0.55). It is concluded that models based on IC50 values as a predictable variable and combining information about binding of different ligands to different variants of the target proteins must take into account the binding properties of the substrate (used for IC50 determination). The predictive power of such models depends critically on the quality of the modeling of the ligand-protein complexes.

Published: July 2018

Changes in the activity of monoaminergic systems of the left and right hemispheres of the brain after acute hypoxia with hypercapnia were investigated in male albino mice. The concentrations of dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT) and their metabolites dihydroxyphenylacetic (DOPAC), homovanilic (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindolacetic (5-HIAA) acids were measured by HPLC in the brain cortex, hippocampus and striatum of the right and the left hemispheres. In the control mice not exposed to hypoxia with hypercapnia, a higher concentration of DA in the left cortex was detected. No asymmetry in the content of other substances has been identified in the investigated structures. Acute hypoxia with hypercapnia led to the right-sided increase of DA and 5-HT levels and to the left-sided reduction DOPAC in the cerebral cortex. Under the condition of hypoxia with hypercapnia, in the hippocampus, the left-sided increase of the DA content was revealed. In the striatum the contents of monoamines and their metabolites were insignificantly changed. It has been concluded that acute hypoxia with hypercapnia causes asymmetric changes in monoaminergic systems of the archicortex and the neocortex.

Implementing a Student-Centered Pedagogy: Doing so in the Indonesian Teaching-Learning Context
Authors: Triyoko Hanung
Published: July 2018

Today’s educators must be willing to shift from the teacher-centered paradigm, which was in place when they themselves were students, to the new paradigm of student-centered education. This article was inspired by the challenges and opportunities experienced by the writers while attempting to  implement a student-centered pedagogy. We will share some of our experiences as educators to provide a context for various aspects of student centered-learning.  Understanding some of the successes and failures we have experienced in our careers may help to highlight the potential and importance of student-centered pedagogy in its many facets. Based on the vignettes from our teaching experiences, we have identified four major ideas about how to adopt a more student-centered approach: planning lessons that encourage student interest; adapting the curriculum to meet student’s needs; using technology in the classroom; and developing mutually respectful relationships. Keywords : Student-Centered Pedagogy; Student’s Interest, Student’s Needs; Mutually Respectful Relationships
Improving Coherence of The Students’ Sentences by Applying Thematic Progression And Personal Blog In The Sentence-Based Writing Class
Authors: Suryo Priyatmojo Arif
Published: July 2018

This study was aimed at describing what kinds of thematic progression patterns mostly employed by the students, describing how to apply thematic progression theory and personal blog in the sentence-based writing class, and finding out whether the use of thematic progression theory and personal blog give positive significances to coherence of the students’ sentences. This is an action research study employing two cycles. The subject of the study was 24 students of group 2, in a class of sentence-based writing (SBW), and the object of the study was students’ sentences created by the students in the teaching and learning process (TLP). The result of the study shows that thematic progression patterns moslty employed by the students are constant theme pattern followed by zig zag and multiple theme patterns. In TLP, the materials were devided and given to the students in two cycles. The first cycle focused on introducing the thematic progression theory and its kinds of patterns. Then, in the next cycle the students focused on sharing ideas with other classmates via individual blogs. Based on the result of the study, teaching SBW using thematic progression theory gives its positive significance by varied patterns used by the students. It can be seen from the analysis of the students’ sentences from pretest, paragraf 1, paragraf 2, paragraf 3 and posttest. The students also give positive responses upon its teaching and learning process using thematic progression and personal blogs based on the pre and post test questionnaire data. It is hoped that the result of the study gives positive contribution to the students in preparing them to write in bigger contexts - paragraph-based writing, genre-based writng and academic writing in the next coming semesters. Keywords:  Thematic Progression; Theme-Rheme; Thematization; Personal Blog
Politeness Maxim In the film ” Laskar Pelangi”
Authors: Budiati Budiati
Published: July 2018

Sentential implicature is something meant or implied that is proposed to avoid impoliteness in making harmonious conversation. For the sake of politeness it was postulated cooperative politeness and maxims; tact maxim, approbation maxim, generosity maxim, modesty maxim, agreement maxim and sympathy maxim. The measurement of politeness or impoliteness is also determined by the four factors; power, range, distance and familiarity. In “Laskar Pelangi” the movie, it was found some maxims with Indonesian cultural background for its politeness. Politeness was shown by addressing someone just by name or by saying “Mr.” and “Mrs”, according to the power and relationship, minimizing dispraise of others, and mentioning something or someone indirectly.

Authors: Inayah Nurul
Published: July 2018

This research is aimed at knowing what the students‘ perception of having taught by foreigner counterpart (native speaker of English) in a conversational class. Besides elaborating the students‘ perception which affects how they act and behave during the teaching and learning process, this research also wants to explore the students‘ difficulties and strategies in facing the foreigner‘s class. Then, the students‘ expectation of an ideal conversational class is also important to be investigated in order to conduct a better one in the future. Since this research explores the students‘ perception which come from the students‘ experience, qualitative approach is considered as an appropriate research design. Then the result of this research is presented descriptively in order to reveal the students‘ perception comprehensively. The findings of this research show that most of the students give high appreciation with the presence of foreigner. In fact, the personality of the foreigner as a teacher is also very important to be highlighted since it gives significant influence on students‘ perception. The personality and skill in classroom management become reasons for the other students who do not like the foreigner. Then, the cross cultural understanding and the ability to communicate in English is the students‘ main difficulty that hinders their teaching and learning process. Keywords: perception; conversational class; Foreign conterparts
Grammatical Interference from English into Indonesian Language Made by English Native Speakers in Salatiga
Authors: Asti Supriyanto Ratih
Published: July 2018

This research was carried out the syntactic interference from English to Indonesian language made by English native speakers in Salatiga. This study was also intended to find out morphological interference from English to Indonesian language made by English native speakers in Salatiga. The research method used was interviewing, recording and transcribing. This method was applied by interviewing English native speakers, then the writer recorded and transcribed to find out the interference that they made. After the data had been collected and analyzed, the writer finds several sub-classifications in syntactic interference as the following: (1) sentence; (2) phrase; (3) diction; and syntactic interference are dominated by phrase, because the phrase construction of English and Indonesian language is different. The construction phrase of Indonesian language is head word + modifier, but in English head word is put after the modifier. Meanwhile for morphological interference is dominated by applying the base form in using the verbs in sentence. The construction of verb in English does not need the inflectional morphology to make the sentence clear as the Indonesian language. The speakers have a tendency to use the base form to show the verb in Indonesian sentence. Keywords: Interference; Syntactic interference; Morphological interference.
The Influence of Digital Games Based Learning on Students’ Learning Outcomes and Motivation
Authors: Yusny Rahmat
Published: July 2018

There is no doubt that the emergence of today's digital age greatly affects the human life - including students in their educational life. In order to simplify the process of studying languages, especially English, many scientists and experts continue to find new and innovative methods.  One of them is the method of Digital Games Based Learning (DGBL).  However, the implementation effort of DGBL method to improve English language skills of students is still a matter of controversy. It is mainly caused by the use of game - which is assumed by the public just as merely means of entertainment rather than as a medium of learning. Judging on this reason, researchers are interested highlighting them to be their research. This research was conducted in order to view the significance and influence of DGBL in improving English language skills of students - particularly the ability to hear and read - as well as their motivation to learn. The study was conducted over five sessions in March 2013 with a sample of 13 students were selected at random stratification of 68 second -year student population PBI , Ar - Raniry UIN .Researchers collected data by applying the experimental use of games in the classroom , provide pre-test and post-test , as well as distributing  questionnaires dealing with motivation. From the analysis of quantitative data, it can be concluded that the method of Digital Games Based Learning (DGBL) can be used to improve student’s achievement and learning motivation in learning English.keywords:   Digital Games Based Learning (DGBL) ; Learning outcome ; Motivation
Power Relation In Memoirs Of Geisha And The Dancer
Authors: Rahayu Mundi , Emelda Lia , Aisyah Siti
Published: July 2018

This article aims at comparing the ideas of power relation between themain female character and ―Mother‖ in Arthur Golden‘s Memoirs ofGeisha and Ahmad Tohari‘s The Dancer. These two novels share thesame main female character of traditional entertainers, as a Japanese geisha and a Javanese traditional dancer, respectively. As an entertainer in the traditional sphere, they are bounded with the other women and build close interaction as well as power relation with them who are called ―Mother‖ in the Geisha and ―ronggeng shaman‖ in The Dancer. Thepower relation between them are unique and dynamics. This is analyzed through Foucault‘s theory of power. The result of the analysis shows that the power relation is not stable, and the power practiced by each of them is influenced by the symbolic capital and economic capital they have. The negotiation and contestation come up between the actors in dailypractices as geisha and the mother, as the ―ronggeng‖ and the shaman. As the entertainers, the geisha and ―ronggeng‖ build and shape their body and performance to attract men. This geisha and ronggeng culture reproduce many other cultural product such as ―mizuage‖ in geisha, and ―bukak klambu‖ in ―ronggeng‖ both of which refer to the same thing, selling the woman‘s virginity to the highest bidder. In geisha it is used to benefit the Mother of Okiya and no rebellion of the geisha. On the other hand, Srintil does rebellious action in this ―bukak klambu‖ occasion. There seems to be different message from these two novels, The Dancer is much more questioning the norms covering the ―ronggeng‖ tradition while the Memoirs of Geisha tends to be accepting the geisha tradition as what it is.Keywords: Power Relation; Geisha ; Ronggeng ; Norms
Properties of Command Constructions in TİD
Authors: OZSOY A. Sumru , KELEPİR Meltem , Nuhbalaoğlu Derya , Hakgüder Emre
Published: July 2018

This paper focuses on the properties of command
constructions in Turkish Sign Language (TİD). The nature and function of manual
signs and nonmanual markers in command constructions in TİD are investigated to
determine their prosodic, morphological, morphophonological, and syntactic
properties. We show that TİD does not utilize any of the properties reported in
the literature as an obligatory marker of commands in some spoken and sign
languages. The only salient marker of commands we have identified is a
nonmanual marker: (forward/sideward) head tilt.
Syllables in TİD
Authors: GÖKGÖZ Kadir
Published: July 2018

We
have two aims in this paper. Our first aim is to show that syllables exist in
TİD prosody (Türk İşaret Dili – Turkish Sign Language). A specific domain in
prosody is substantiated only if there are phonological phenomena that refer to
that domain as part of their definition. Therefore, for our first aim, we
present evidence from phonological phenomena which need to refer to the notion
syllable in their definition. As for these phenomena, we present Fingerspelling
of one-handed suffixes which are restricted to a single syllable size in their lexicalized
form. We also present some compounds which are reduced to a single syllable size
while the lexemes before compounding form separate syllables. Next, as a case
of phonological fusion, Coalescence will be shown to be limited to a single syllable
size. These three phonological phenomena are domain processes which, to be
defined, need the entire domain of syllable. We also show two phonological
phenomena that need to refer to the edges of a syllable. These are Metathesis
and Backwards Signing in both of which the order of the initial and final edges
of the syllable are reversed. To support the existence of a prosodic domain, it
is important to show that the specific prosodic domain is independent - it is not
isomorphic to a morphological or a syntactic domain (Nespor and Vogel, 2007).
Therefore, our second goal is to show that syllables are independent of two other
units in grammar - Morpheme and Sign - by illustrating differences between them.
We finish this paper by summary and indicating potential topics of study.

Published: June 2018

Este artículo analiza los determinantes individuales del emprendimiento tecnológico en Suramérica y si difieren de aquellos que impulsan el emprendimiento convencional. Con esto se contribuye a la comprensión de las nuevas empresas de base tecnológica (nebt) en pro de su impulso para fomentar en la región economías que se basen en la innovación. Utilizando modelos de regresión logística y los datos del Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (gem) para 2011, se ha encontrado que la situación laboral, la renta, las habilidades y el conocimiento determinan el emprendimiento de nuevos negocios, y que el género, el nivel de estudios y la edad del emprendedor determinan que un negocio sea de base tecnológica.
Financial Inclusion as a Catalyst for Poverty Reduction in Nigeria

Published: July 2018

Financial inclusion which can be explained as access to formal financial services such as credit, savings and insurance opportunities is still very vague in developing countries such as Nigeria where there is high level of poverty. The country has a large number of ‘unbanked’ people whose business activities are not captured in the country’s economic reports. These ‘unbanked’ populaces are illiterates who are either unemployed or under-employed and lack access to financial services and information and are totally excluded in the financial ecosystem and market. Hence, this paper examines the role of financial inclusion in the reduction of poverty in Nigeria.  It examines the roles of government and financial institutions and the use of various mobile initiatives such as mobile banking, mobile money, agent banking etc. as financial inclusion tools to stimulate poverty reduction. Time series analysis on data obtained from secondary sources between the periods of 1992 and 2016 was adopted and the paper covered financial inclusion as it relates to unbanked people in Nigeria. The paper found out that majority of the ‘unbanked’ in Nigeria are low income people who do not have access to financial services and information on financial inclusion. While few are timid on the need to use a bank, many them are willing to use banking services and believe the availability of these services will help improve their economic condition. The paper therefore recommends that the banks should be encouraged to continue to take advantage of all the financial inclusion policies of the government in mobilizing funds from the informal sector into the banking system. This can be best done by increasing the number of customers within the financial system as a tool for encouraging financial inclusion and stimulating the economy and thereby reducing poverty in the country.

A series of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) metal complexes are
derived from ligand (N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-[(2E)-3-phenylprop-2-enoyl]hydrazinecarboxamide[MPH],
and structurally characterized by various physicochemical and spectral tools such as IR,
UV-Visible, 1H-NMR, LC-Mass, powder XRD and TGA-DTC.These studies
showed that the ligand coordinated to the metal atom in a bidentate manner and
have octahedral environment.X-ray diffraction studies indicates that the Co(II)
and Cu(II) complexes are Crystalline in nature, Degradation mechanism, kinetic
and thermodynamic parameters of the synthesized metal complexes has been
evaluated.The synthesized compounds were evaluated for in vitroantioxidant
DPPH assay, in which metal complexes showed excellent activity. The molecular
docking analysis by using human antioxidant enzyme DTT (PDB: 3MNG)have
also been evaluated. The ligand and their metal complexes were screened for
their antifungal and antibacterial activities against different species of
pathogenic fungi and bacteria.

PENGARUH MUDHARABAH MUSYARAKAH RASIO (MMR) DAN EKONOMI SEKTOR RASIO (ESR) TERHADAP ISLAMIC SOCIAL REPORTING (ISR) PADA PERBANKAN SYARIAH DI INDONESIA TAHUN 2012-2016
Authors: Rusydi Muhammad
Published: July 2018

Penelitian terkait perbankan syariah di Indonesia lebih menekankan penelitian yang melihat dari kinerja keuangan (financial performance). Masih agak sedikit penelitian yang mengkaji secara dalam isu-isu terkait peran perbankan syariah dalam pengembangan sosial-ekonomi (social performance). Padahal pengukuran kinerja perbankan syariah akan lebih baik jika diarahkan untuk pengembangan sosial-ekonomi yang sesuai dengan aspek teoritiknya. Penelitian ini akan mengeksplorasi kinerja perbankan syariah dari perspektif kinerja sosial (Islamic Social Reporting) yang dikaitkan dengan variabel-variabel ekonomi dari tahun 2012-2016.

Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan prosedur kuantitatif atau penelitian yang bersifat kausalitas yakni pengukuran sebab akibat antara variabel Mudharabah Musyarakah Rasio (MMR) dan Ekonomi Sektor Rasio (ESR) dengan Islamic Social Reporting (ISR).

Penelitian ini menghasilkan temuan-temuan sebagai berikut, terdapat pengaruh positif signifikan antara Mudharabah Musyarakah Rasio terhadap Islamic Social Reporting. Hal itu dilihat secara parsial dari nilai thitung = 6,359  yang  artinya thitung 6,359 > ttabel 1,688. Secara parsial juga variabel Ekonomi Sektor Rasio juga berpengaruh terhadap Islamic Social Reporting. Hal itua secara parsial nilai thitung = 3,025  yang  artinya thitung 3,025 > ttabel 1,688. Dan secara simultan, dilihat dari Nilai koefisien determinasi (R Square) diketahui pengaruh dari kedua variabel independen yakni Mudharabah Musyarakah Rasio dan Ekonomi Sektor Rasio terhadap Islamic Social Reporting sebesar 0.790 atau 79%. Hal itu berarti 79% variabel Islamic Social Reporting dapat dijelaskan  secara bersama-sama (simultan) oleh variabel independen dalam penelitian yakni Mudharabah Musyarakah Rasio dan Ekonomi Sektor Rasio yaitu 79%  sedangkan sisanya sebesar 21 % dijelaskan oleh variabel lainnya yang tidak diteliti atau tidak dimasukkan ke dalam model regresi empirik sebagaimana dilakukan dalam penelitian ini
