Published: October 2018

<p><em>In the life cycle theory of the company, it is stated that the Company which is at the established stage has the ability to make money beyond its ability to find profitable investment opportunities. The Company will distribute cash flow optimally to stakeholders in the form of dividend payments. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of retained earnings ratio (proxied with retained earnings to total equity) on the probability and rate of dividend payments based on the life cycle of the firm. Companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange period 2012 - 2016 are designated as research objects. Meanwhile, the sample is selected using criteria considered by the researcher (judgment sampling). Hypothesis testing is done by using the statistical method that is probit and tobit regression. The research findings show that retained earnings have a positive and significant effect on the probability and rate of dividend payments. However, the results of the study do not show significant evidence that retained earnings have a stronger effect on the probability and firm level of paying dividends.</em></p><p> </p><p>Dalam teori siklus hidup perusahaan dinyatakan bahwa Perusahaan yang berada pada tahap mapan memiliki kemampuan dalam menghasilkan uang melebihi kemampuannya dalam menemukan peluang investasi yang menguntungkan.

Published: October 2018

OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether older veterans enrolled in two diabetes prevention programs (DPPs) in the Veterans Health Administration will have similar weight loss as younger veterans.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Post hoc analysis of data from two prospective, pragmatic, nonrandomized studies of behavioral weight management interventions that were delivered in-person (Department of Veterans Affairs [VA]-DPP) or online (Online-DPP), comparing participation and weight loss between participants aged ≥65 years (N = 120) vs. &lt;65 years (N = 258).

RESULTS
Over 70% of participants in both age groups completed eight or more sessions within 6 months; a higher proportion completed eight or more sessions in the Online-DPP intervention than in the VA-DPP intervention (P &lt; 0.05). The overall weight changes at 6 and 12 months were similar across the two age groups: ∼5 kg or 5% weight loss compared with baseline (P &gt; 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS
DPPs delivered in person or online can be similarly effective in older and younger veterans. Online programs may be an important means to improve the reach of DPPs for older adults.

Published: October 2018

Several significant hydrocarbon accumulations were discovered over the past decade in the Levant Basin, Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Onshore studies have investigated potential source rock intervals to the east and south of the Levant Basin, whereas its offshore western margin is still relatively underexplored. Only a few cores were recovered from four boreholes offshore southern Cyprus by the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) during the drilling campaign Leg 160 in 1995. These wells transect the Eratosthenes Seamount, a drowned bathymetric high, and recovered a thick sequence of both pre- and post-Messinian sedimentary rocks, containing mainly marine marls and shales. In this study, 122 core samples of Late Cretaceous to Messinian age were analyzed in order to identify organic-matter-rich intervals and to determine their depositional environment as well as their source rock potential and thermal maturity. Both Total Organic and Inorganic Carbon (TOC, TIC) analyses as well as Rock-Eval pyrolysis were firstly performed for the complete set of samples whereas Total Sulfur (TS) analysis was only carried out on samples containing significant amount of organic matter (>0.3 wt.% TOC). Based on the Rock-Eval results, eight samples were selected for organic petrographic investigations and twelve samples for analysis of major aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds. The organic content is highly variable in the analyzed samples (0–9.3 wt.%). TS/TOC as well as several biomarker ratios (e.g.Pr/Ph < 2) indicate a deposition under dysoxic conditions for the organic matter-rich sections, which were probably reached during sporadically active upwelling periods. Results prove potential oil prone Type II kerogen source rock intervals of fair to very good quality being present in Turonian to Coniacian (average: TOC = 0.93 wt.%, HI = 319 mg HC/g TOC) and in Bartonian to Priabonian (average: TOC = 4.8 wt.%, HI = 469 mg HC/g TOC) intervals. A precise determination of the actual source rock thickness is prevented by low core recovery rates for the respective intervals. All analyzed samples are immature to early mature. However, the presence of deeper buried, thermally mature source rocks and hydrocarbon migration is indicated by the observation of solid bitumen impregnation in one Upper Cretaceous and in one Lower Eocene sample.

Revisiting English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in Indonesian Vocational High School (VHS): A Current Situation in Curriculum 2013
Authors: Purwanti Annisa Ratna 
Published: October 2018

This qualitative study tries to revisit the concept of ESP in VHS under the latest curriculum applied in Indonesia; curriculum 2013 or K-13. The researcher discovers current issues and several suggestions of ESP in Indonesian VHS context. Theoretically, English in VHS should employ ESP approach, but practically, it tends to be more general. The vague concept of ESP in the Indonesian VHS is one of the reasons in developing this study. On the other hand, government with its purpose of AEC (ASEAN Economic Community) eagers to make VHS students ready to work to compete with the foreign workers. However, since the implementation of K-13, English in VHS tends to have more general topics rather than in the previous curriculum (KTSP; curriculum 2006). As a result, it makes the concept of ESP in VHS more vague. The result of document analysis and observation, the researcher found several issues dealing with ESP. They are issues in course design, ESP teachers, ESP objectives, approach, and materials, and also learning assessment. Considering the major issues dealing with ESP in VHS, several countermeasures about redesign of ESP teaching in Indonesian VHS were suggested by the researcher.

Published: October 2018

Çalışmada, hıyarların (Cucumis sativus cv. ‘Alaiye’) depolama ve meyve kalitesi üzerine
farklı dozlarda salisilik asit (SA) ve modifiye atmosfer paketlemenin (MAP)
etkileri araştırılmıştır. Derimi yapılan hıyarlar vakit kaybetmeden
laboratuvara getirilmiştir. Zedelenmiş olan meyveler seçildikten sonra farklı
konsantrasyonlarda [0 (kontrol) 0.5, 1 and 2 mM] SA içeren solüsyonlara 10 dk
süre ile daldırılmıştır. Daldırma işlemlerinden sonra 30 dk süre ile oda
koşullarında kurutulmuştur. Kuruyan hıyarlar MAP’lara yerleştirilmiş ve 20 gün
8°C ve % 90±5 oransal nem koşullarında depolanmışlardır. Raf ömrü çalışmaları
içinde soğukta muhafazadan sonra 2 gün 20°C ve % 60±5 oransal nem koşullarında
bekletilmiştir. Depolama başlangıcında ve 5’er gün aralıklarla ağırlık kaybı,
meyve eti sertliği, meyve kabuk ve et rengi, solunum hızı ve MAP içi gaz
bileşimi ölçümleri ile üşüme zararı ve duyusal değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır.
Sonuç olarak, SA dozları kontrole göre incelenen kalite parametreleri açısından
genellikle daha olumlu sonuçlar vermiştir. Fakat 1 mM SA dozu ağırlık kaybının
ve solunum hızının azaltılmasında ve sertliğin korunmasında en etkili uygulama
olmuştur.

Active Vibration Control of Cantilever Beam by Using Optimal LQR Controller
Authors: Mohammed Hadeer Abd UL-Qader , Wasmi Hatem Rahem 
Published: October 2018

Many of mechanical systems are exposed to undesired vibrations, so designing an active vibration control (AVC) system is important in engineering decisions to reduce this vibration. Smart structure technology is used for vibration reduction. Therefore, the cantilever beam is embedded by a piezoelectric (PZT) as an actuator. The optimal LQR controller is designed that reduce the vibration of the smart beam by using a PZT element.
In this study the main part is to change the length of the aluminum cantilever beam, so keep the control gains, the excitation, the actuation voltage, and mechanical properties of the aluminum beam for each length of the smart cantilever beam and observe the behavior and effect of changing the length of the smart cantilever beam. A cantilever beam with piezoelectric is modeled in Mechanical APDL ANSYS version 15.0 and verified this by using experimental work. The AVC was tested on a smart beam under different control gains in experimental work and chose the best control gain depending on FEM results for each length of the smart beam. The response of the smart beam is noticed to be different for every length and the reduction percentage for settling time was different for every length.
REVISITING DURABILITY OF BRIDGE SOLID PIERS
Authors: Bokarev S. A. , Zasukhin I. V. 
Published: October 2018

The paper presents data on the prevalence and service life of solid piers of railroad bridges of the Russian Railways. The dynamics of solid pier damages, the development of normative documents on assessing their technical conditions and durability, and methods of assessing the residual life of bridge structures are shown herein. Information on the threshold values of failure is also given. The residual life of the intermediate masonry support is analyzed and estimated using two standard techniques. Their similarities and differences are determined and their limitations are compared. Proposals are made to clarify the damage parameters described in the current normative document for assessing the technical condition of railway structures. For statistical data processing in relation to bridge damages and prediction of their development, a model is proposed on the basis of semi- Markovian process. Possible data sources for constructing such a model are indicated. An alternative model for estimating the reliability of bridge structures is shown.
