Indonesia memiliki predikat sebagai negara sedang berkembang yang telah lama disandangnya. Hal tersebut sebenarnya berangsur angsur mengalami perbaikan dengan mulai menggeliatnya minat masyarakat untuk berwirausaha. Lingkup usaha yang dilakukan memang beragam, namun yang paling menjamur adalah jenis UKM. Hal ini terbukti bahwa Indonesia merupakan negara dengan UKM paling optimistis ketiga di Asia, setelahIndia dan Vietnam, untuk menambah modal usaha pada semester 11/2014. DiIndonesia, jumlah UKM hingga 2014 mencapai 47 juta unit lebih. Jumlahtersebut bukan merupakan angka yang kecil bagi kita. Hal itu mencerminkanbahwa masyarakat kecil di Indonesia memiliki keinginan untuk berbisnis yang sangat besar. Salah bidang usaha yang sedang naik daun adalah batik. Hal ini dikarenakan beragamnya motif yan dimliki oleh masing masing daerah berbeda. Ini mendorong daya kreatifitas para pengrajin batik untuk mengembangkan usahanya. Begitu juga UKM batik yang mengusung batik motIf khas Surabaya di Wilayah Kedung Asem kota Surabaya. Namun, salah satu kendala pada UKM tak terkecuali pengusaha batik adalah kepedulian mereka pada upaya penyelamatan diri dari sisi hukum. Diantaranya tentang HAKI, yang sebenarnya menjadi suatu hal yang penting jika mereka ingin bersaing di kancah yang lebih luas.

Evaluasi On-Time Performance Pada Maskapai Tiger Airways Rute Surabaya-Singapura dengan Menggunakan Diagram Kontrol, Diagram Pareto, dan Diagram Sebab-Akibat
Authors: Auliandri T. Aria , Kurniastuti Mutiya
Published: July 2018

Ketepatan waktu penerbangan saat ini masih sangat kurang. Pengguna transportasi udara akan memilih penerbangan yang paling cepat, tepat, aman, dan nyaman dengan tidak mengabaikan unsur-unsur keselamatan. Salah satu maskapai yang menerapkan konsep Low Cost Carrier (LCC)  dan tidak mengabaikan unsur-unsur keselamatan adalah Tiger Airways yang merupakan sebuah maskapai penerbangan bertarif rendah Singapura. Dengan semakin menjamurnya jumlah pesawat terbang menyebabkan overcapacity dan antrian pesawat baik di darat maupun di udara semakin lama dan semakin panjang. Hal ini menjadi salah satu penyebab jadwal penerbangan terkadang sering tertunda (delay). Alasan yang sering muncul ketika pesawat terlambat (delay) adalah alasan teknis, cuaca, komersial, dan gangguan operasional. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan mengevaluasi data monthly report on time performance Tiger Airways selama periode yang ditentukan. Perhitungan menggunakan diagram kontrol untuk mengetahui penyebab penurunan nilai on time performance. Perhitungan dengan menggunakan diagram pareto untuk mengidentifikasi prioritas utama penyebab delay dan diagram sebab-akibat untuk mencari akar penyebab masalah utama terjadinya delay. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan dengan metode diagram kontrol tingkat delay yang melewati BKA terjadi pada bulan Januari 2016 dengan persentase sebesar 60,87% dimana pada bulan itu jumlah delay yang terjadi sebanyak 14 kali dengan jumlah penerbangan sebanyak 23 kali. Hasil evaluasi menggunakan metode diagram pareto menunjukkan bahwa 80% dari tingkat delay yang terjadi disebabkan oleh tiga macam delay yaitu: late arrival of aircraft, air traffic control (ATC), dan teknis. Kemudian menggunakan metode diagram sebab-akibat ditemukan akar penyebab dari tiga macam delay yang dihadapi maskapai Tiger Airways. Sehingga dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa delay yang terjadi di setiap kali penerbangan diakibatkan kurang optimalnya kinerja operasional baik dari faktor internal maupun eksternal.

Authors: Sembiring Marika Suma Raya , Nugroho Kathleen Kusuma
Published: July 2018

This research aims to investigate whether firms with excess of free cash flow and low growth perspective are tend to engage in earnings management with several control variables included. We predict the relationship between each variable using multiple regressions model.  The data sample used is manufacturing companies listed in IDX from the year of 2012 to 201. The result of this research presents that there is no significant relationship between excess of free cash flow and earnings management. The reasons behind this result might be a difference in type of agency problem, in dividend policy, and in organization behavior widespread across the countries. However, we found a significant relationship between control variables to the dependent variable by means of discretionary accruals, which are firm size, IFRS implementation and audit quality towards earnings management.

Berdasarkan hasil wawancara yang dilakukan, departemen MNA mempunyai bulan- bulan sibuk, yaitu mulai bulan agustus hingga bulan november. Bulan-bulan tersebut disebut bulan sibuk karena pada waktu itu SMA  â€“  SMA  mengadakan  expo  pendidikan  dan  mengijinkan pihak luar untuk memberikan presentasi atau penjelasan tetntang studi lanjut  ke murid-murid kelas 12. Pada bulan â€“ bulan sibuk, kelompok yang dibentuk oleh departemen MNA sering sekali melakukan perjalanan dinas ke luar.   Jeda waktu antara satu perjalanan   dinas   dengan   perjalanan   dinas   lainnya   sangat berdekatan sehingga Karyawan MNA mengalami kesulitan menyelesaikan  laporan  perjalanan  serta  penggunaan  anggaran biaya tepat waktu yaitu maksimal 3 hari. Kesulitan lain yang dihadapi   oleh   karyawan   MNA  yang   dinas   di   luar,   adalah bagaimana mengetahui jumlah yang masih tersisa. Oleh karena itu , dalam penelitian ini dibuat sebuah aplikasi BlackBerry yang  mempunyai fungsi mencatat segala pengeluaran anggaran biaya yang dilakukan selama perjalanan dinas. Dengan melakukan pencatatan pengeluaran selama perjalanan dinas, maka laporan yang biasanya dibuat setelah saat perjalanan dinas , dapat dilakukan selama perjalanan. Pencatatan pengeluaran anggaran biaya meliputi kapan pengeluaran dan berapa besar jumlah pengeluaran yang dilakukan serta nama acara dan tujuan. Aplikasi ini  juga  dapat  memberikan  informasi  berapa  jumlah  anggaran biaya yang tersisa yang dapat dipakai. Setelah perjalanan dinas tersebut selesai, maka laporan  pertanggung-jawaban biaya juga akan   selesai.   Dengan   begitu,   karyawan   MNA   tidak   lagi mempunyai kewajiban untuk membuat laporan pertanggung- jawaban anggaran biaya karena aplikasi ini akan men-generate secara otomatis ke dalam format yang telah ditentukan.

Published: July 2018

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of heat-killed and live Lactobacillus on mice with diabetes induced by high-fat diet with streptozotocin (STZ). Results based on body weight and liver pathological changes, oral glucose tolerance test, and related serum index (AST (aspartate aminotransferase), ALT (alanine aminotransferase), MDA (malondialdehyde), TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor α), INS (insulin), and GC (glucagon) and gene expression of IL-1β (Interleukin 1β), IRS-1(Insulin receptor substrate 1), GLUT-4 (glucose transporter type 4), PPARγ (peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ), and SREBP-1c (sterol-regulatory element-binding protein-1c) levels indicated that Lactobacillus fermentum (LF) and Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) could increase the average weight, alleviate the degree of damage in the liver, and improve the glucose tolerance of mice with diabetes. LF and LP also participated in the downregulation of AST, ALT, MDA, TNF-α, INS, and GC in serum, as well as the inhibition of IL-1β, TNF-α, IRS-1, GLUT-4, PPARγ, and SREBP-1c expression. These regulating effects were remarkable, and the regulating effect of the live group was significantly better than that of the heat-killed group. This study suggested that LF and LP can significantly alleviate liver damage and hepatic insulin resistance in mice with diabetes and that the acting mechanisms of LF and LP were related to cellular components and their activities.
Review of Rock-Mass Rating and Tunneling Quality Index Systems for Tunnel Design: Development, Refinement, Application and Limitation
Authors: Rehman Hafeezur , Ali Wahid , Naji Abdul Muntaqim , Kim Jung-joo , Abdullah Rini Asnida , Yoo Han-kyu
Published: July 2018

Although rock-mass rating (RMR) and tunneling quality index (Q) systems are used in different rock engineering projects as empirical design tools, their application in tunnel design is widely accepted as these systems were developed and updated for this purpose specifically. This paper reviews the work conducted by various researchers since the development of these two systems with respect to tunneling only. Compared to other empirical classification systems, these systems received international acceptance and are still used as empirical design tools in tunneling due to their continuous updates in the form of characterization and support. As the primary output of these systems is the initial support design for tunnel, however, their use in the calculation for rock-mass properties is an essential contribution of these systems in rock engineering design. Essential for the tunnel design, these rock-mass properties include the modulus of deformation, strength, Poisson’s ratio, Mohr-Coulomb parameters and Hoek-Brown constants. Other application for tunneling include the stand-up time and rock load. The uses and limitations of these systems as empirical tunnel design tools are also included in this review article for better results. Research to date indicates that if the ground behavior is also taken into account, the application of these empirical systems will be more beneficial to the preliminary design of tunnels.
Consideration of GLONASS Inter-Frequency Code Biases in Precise Point Positioning (PPP) International Time Transfer
Authors: Ge Yulong , Qin WeiJin , Cao Xinyun , Zhou Feng , Wang Shengli , Yang Xuhai
Published: July 2018

International time transfer based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) precise point positioning (PPP) is influenced by inter-frequency code biases (IFCBs) because of the application of frequency division multiple access technique. This work seeks to gain insight into the influence of GLONASS IFCBs on international time transfer based on GLONASS-only PPP. With a re-parameterization process, three IFCB handling schemes are proposed: neglecting IFCBs, estimating IFCB for each GLONASS frequency number, and estimating IFCB for each GLONASS satellite. Observation data collected from 39 globally distributed stations in a 71-day period (DOY 227–297, 2017) was exclusively processed. For the comparison reason, Global Positioning System (GPS)-only PPP solutions were regarded as reference values. The clock differences derived from GPS- and GLONASS-only PPP solutions were then analyzed. The experimental results demonstrated that considering GLONASS IFCBs could reduce standard deviation (STD) of the clock differences for both identical receiver types and mixed receiver types, of which reduction was from 3.3% to 62.6%. Furthermore, compared with neglecting IFCBs, STD of the clock differences with estimating IFCB for each GLONASS satellite in coordinate-fixed mode was reduced by more than 30% from 0.30 to 0.20 ns, and by 10% from 0.40 to 0.35 ns, for 1-day arc solutions and 10-day arc solutions, respectively. Moreover, different precise products from three International GNSS Service (IGS) analysis centers were also evaluated. Even though different IFCB handling schemes were adopted in GLONASS satellite clock estimation, our numerical results showed that international time transfer on the basis of estimating IFCB for each GLONASS satellite better than the other two processing schemes. To achieve high-precision GLONASS-only PPP-based international time transfer, it is highly recommended to estimate IFCB for each GLONASS satellite.
Design and Multi-Objective Optimization of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composite Flywheel Rotors
Authors: Mittelstedt Marvin , Hansen Christian , Mertiny Pierre
Published: July 2018

A multi-objective optimization strategy to find optimal designs of composite multi-rim flywheel rotors is presented. Flywheel energy storage systems have been expanding into applications such as rail and automotive transportation, where the construction volume is limited. Common flywheel rotor optimization approaches for these applications are single-objective, aiming to increase the stored energy or stored energy density. The proposed multi-objective optimization offers more information for decision-makers optimizing three objectives separately: stored energy, cost and productivity. A novel approach to model the manufacturing of multi-rim composite rotors facilitates the consideration of manufacturing cost and time within the optimization. An analytical stress calculation for multi-rim rotors is used, which also takes interference fits and residual stresses into account. Constrained by a failure prediction based on the Maximum Strength, Maximum Strain and Tsai-Wu criterion, the discrete and nonlinear optimization was solved. A hybrid optimization strategy is presented that combines a genetic algorithm with a local improvement executed by a sequential quadratic program. The problem was solved for two rotor geometries used for light rail transit applications showing similar design results as in industry.

Published: July 2018

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is the most prominent pattern of atmospheric variability over the middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, especially during the cold season. It is found that “weather types” are associated with human health. It is possible that variations in NAO indices (NAOI) had additional impact on human health. We investigated the association between daily emergency ambulance calls (EACs) for exacerbation of essential hypertension and the NAOI by using Poisson regression, adjusting for season, weather variables and exposure to CO, particulate matter and ozone. An increased risk of EACs was associated with NAOI < −0.5 (Rate Ratio (RR) = 1.07, p = 0.013) and NAOI > 0.5 (RR = 1.06, p = 0.004) with a lag of 2 days as compared to −0.5 ≤ NAOI ≤ 0.5. The impact of NAOI > 0.5 was stronger during November-March (RR = 1.10, lag = 0, p = 0.026). No significant associations were found between the NAOI and EACs during 8:00–13:59. An elevated risk was associated during 14:00–21:59 with NAOI < −0.5 (RR = 1.09, p = 0.003) and NAOI > 0.5 (RR = 1.09, p = 0.019) and during 22:00–7:59 with NAOI < −0.5 (RR = 1.12, lag = 1, p = 0.001). The non-linear associations were found between the NAO and EACs. The different impact of the NAO was found during the periods November–March and April–October. The impact of the NAOI was not identical for different times of the day.

Authors: Chaddad Ahmad , Kucharczyk Michael , Niazi Tamim
Published: July 2018

Background: Novel radiomic features are enabling the extraction of biological data from routine sequences of MRI images. This study’s purpose was to establish a new model, based on the joint intensity matrix (JIM), to predict the Gleason score (GS) of prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Methods: A retrospective dataset comprised of the diagnostic imaging data of 99 PCa patients was used, extracted from The Cancer Imaging Archive’s (TCIA) T2-Weighted (T2-WI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) images. Radiomic features derived from JIM and the grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) were extracted from the reported tumor locations. The Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman’s rank correlation identified features related to the GS. The Random Forest classifier model was implemented to identify the best performing signature of JIM and GLCM radiomic features to predict for GS. Results: Five JIM-derived features: contrast, homogeneity, difference variance, dissimilarity, and inverse difference were independent predictors of GS (p < 0.05). Combined JIM and GLCM analysis provided the best performing area-under-the-curve, with values of 78.40% for GS ≤ 6, 82.35% for GS = 3 + 4, and 64.76% for GS ≥ 4 + 3. Conclusion: This retrospective study produced a novel predictive model for GS by the incorporation of JIM data from standard diagnostic MRI images.
The Role of Inflammation and Inflammatory Mediators in the Development, Progression, Metastasis, and Chemoresistance of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
Authors: Savant Sudha , Sriramkumar Shruthi , O’Hagan Heather
Published: July 2018

Inflammation plays a role in the initiation and development of many types of cancers, including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC), a type of EOC. There are connections between EOC and both peritoneal and ovulation-induced inflammation. Additionally, EOCs have an inflammatory component that contributes to their progression. At sites of inflammation, epithelial cells are exposed to increased levels of inflammatory mediators such as reactive oxygen species, cytokines, prostaglandins, and growth factors that contribute to increased cell division, and genetic and epigenetic changes. These exposure-induced changes promote excessive cell proliferation, increased survival, malignant transformation, and cancer development. Furthermore, the pro-inflammatory tumor microenvironment environment (TME) contributes to EOC metastasis and chemoresistance. In this review we will discuss the roles inflammation and inflammatory mediators play in the development, progression, metastasis, and chemoresistance of EOC.

Efficient CO2 conversion by formate dehydrogenase is limited by the low CO2 concentrations that can be reached in traditional buffers. The use of ionic liquids was proposed as a manner to increase CO2 concentration in the reaction system. It has been found, however, that the required cofactor (NADH) heavily degraded during the enzymatic reaction and that acidity was the main reason. Acidity, indeed, resulted in reduction of the conversion of CO2 into formic acid and contributed to overestimate the amount of formic acid produced when the progression of the reaction was followed by a decrease in NADH absorbance (method N). Stability of NADH and the mechanism of NADH degradation was investigated by UV, NMR and by DFT calculations. It was found that by selecting neutral–basic ionic liquids and by adjusting the concentration of the ionic liquid in the buffer, the concentration of NADH can be maintained in the reaction system with little loss. Conversion of CO2 to methanol in BmimBF4 (67.1%) was more than twice as compared with the conversion attained by the enzymatic reaction in phosphate buffer (24.3%).

In this work, we hypothesize that Brønsted acids can activate urea-based catalysts by diminishing its self-assembly tendency. As a proof of concept, we used the asymmetric Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles with nitroalkenes as a benchmark reaction. The resulting 3-substituted indole derivatives were obtained with better results due to cooperative effects of the chiral urea and a Brønsted acid additive. Such synergy has been rationalized in terms of disassembly of the supramolecular catalyst aggregates, affording a more acidic and rigid catalytic complex.

Chiral β-nitroalcohols are important building blocks in organic chemistry. The synthetic approach that is based on the enzyme-mediated reduction of α-nitroketones has been scarcely considered. In this work, the use of commercial alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) for the reduction of aromatic and aliphatic nitroketones is investigated. High conversions and enantioselectivities can be achieved with two specific ADHs, affording either the (S) or (R)-enantiomer of the corresponding nitroalcohols. The reaction conditions are carefully tuned to preserve the stability of the reduced product, and to avoid the hydrolytic degradation of the starting substrate. The further manipulation of the enantioenriched nitroalcohols into Boc-protected amminoalcohols is also described.

Published: July 2018

Highly loaded and dispersed Ni2P/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by the phosphidation of Ni/Al2O3 catalyst with Ni loading of 80 wt.% in liquid phase and compared with the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst for the hydrogenation of acetophenone. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) etc. were used to characterize the textural and structural properties of the prepared catalysts. It was found that the Ni/Al2O3 and Ni2P/Al2O3 catalyst possessed high surface area, loading and dispersion. The Ni/Al2O3 catalyst had higher apparent activity while the Ni2P/Al2O3 catalyst had higher intrinsic activity for the hydrogenation of acetophenone (AP). Remarkably, the Ni2P/Al2O3 catalyst exhibited high selectivity to 1-phenylethanol, due to repulsion of the phosphorous (Pδ−) for phenyl group and attraction of the nickel (Niδ+) for oxygen atom of carbonyl group, leading to preferential hydrogenation of carbonyl group in acetophenone. The effect of the particle size of the catalyst on the chemical selectivity might be another reason for high selectivity on the Ni2P/Al2O3 catalyst.

Cuprate superconductors still hold many open questions, and recently, the role of symmetry breaking electronic charge ordering resurfaced in underdoped cuprates as a phenomenon that competes with superconductivity. Here, unambiguous nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) proof is presented for the existence of local charge ordering in nearly optimally doped YBa2Cu3O6.9, even up to room temperature. Increasing pressure and decreasing temperature leads to the highest degree of order in the sense that the two oxygen atoms of the unit cell of the CuO2 plane develop a charge difference of about 0.02 holes, and order throughout the whole crystal. At ambient conditions, a slightly smaller charge difference and a decreased order is found. Evidence from literature data suggests that this charge ordering is ubiquitous to the CuO2 plane of all cuprates. Thus, the role of charge ordering in the cuprates must be reassessed.

Published: July 2018

This article presents longitudinal 1H-MR Spectroscopy (1H-MRS) data from ventral hippocampus and in vivo diffusion MRI (dMRI) data of the brain from control and anhedonic rats. The 1H-MRS and dMRI data were acquired using a 9.4 T preclinical imaging system. Before MRI experiments, animals were exposed to unpredictable chronic mild stress exposure for eight weeks and on the basis of a sucrose consumption test were identified as anhedonic and resilient. An age-matched group of animals, unexposed to the unpredictable chronic mild stress paradigm was considered as control. Data was acquired at the age of 18, 20 and 25 weeks in the anhedonic group and at the age of 18 and 22 weeks in the control group. This multimodal MRI data provides metabolic information of ventral hippocampus and dMRI based microstructural parameters of the brain.

Plant extracts have the potential to be used as food additives; however, their use have been limited by causing undesirable changes in the sensory attributes of foods. We characterized the mango seed extract as a preserving agent for fresh-cut mangoes. We established the maximum concentration of extract that, while increasing the antioxidant activity, and limiting microbial contamination of the fruit, did not negatively affect fruit sensory acceptability. The extract contained 277.4 g gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/kg dw (dry weight) of polyphenols and 143.7 g quercetin equivalent (QE)/kg dw of flavonoids. Antioxidant capacity values were 2034.1 and 4205.7 μmol Trolox equivalent (TE)/g against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radicals, respectively. Chromatographic analysis revealed the presence of gallic and chlorogenic acids. The extract (16 g/L) inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. The highest concentration with sensory acceptability was 6.25 g/L. At such concentration, the extract preserved fresh-cut fruits, increasing polyphenols (0.427 g GAE/kg fw (fresh weight)), flavonoid content (0.234 g QE/kg fw) and antioxidant activity (DPPH = 2.814 and ABTS = 0.551 mol TE/kg fw). It also reduced inoculated bacteria (range: 5.50 × 103 to 1.44 × 105 colony forming units (CFU)/g). These results showed the importance of considering consumer acceptability to determine the effective concentration of plant extracts as additives.
Detection of Stones in Marine Habitats Combining Simultaneous Hydroacoustic Surveys

Published: July 2018

Exposed stones in sandy sublittoral environments are hotspots for marine biodiversity, especially for benthic communities. The detection of single stones is principally possible using sidescan-sonar (SSS) backscatter data. The data resolution has to be high to visualize the acoustic shadows of the stones. Otherwise, stony substrates will not be differentiable from other high backscatter substrates (e.g., gravel). Acquiring adequate sonar data and identifying stones in backscatter images is time consuming because it usually requires visual-manual procedures. To develop a more efficient identification and demarcation procedure of stone fields, sidescan sonar and parametric echo sound data were recorded within the marine protected area of “Sylt Outer Reef” (German Bight, North Sea). The investigated area (~5.900 km2) is characterized by dispersed heterogeneous moraine and marine deposits. Data from parametric sediment echo sounder indicate hyperbolas at the sediment surface in stony areas, which can easily be exported. By combining simultaneous recorded low backscatter data and parametric single beam data, stony grounds were demarcated faster, less complex and reproducible from gravelly substrates indicating similar high backscatter in the SSS data.
