<p>Accounting in major PIPS less favored by students, but in fact it is very important to apply in daily life, especially in the setting of personal finance. At the beginning to see an accounting class, students are pessimistic to be able to follow properly. Because the average PIPS student does not like calculations. Actually count in accounting are mostly addition and subtraction, while division and multiplication are very rarely used. It is important to clarify to students so that they can change their view to accounting and further motivate.</p><p align="left"> </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: motivation, social science.</p>

JAPANESE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REFORM : WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONING OF OUTSIDE DIRECTORS ?
Authors: Suzuki Masaru 
Published: April 2019

<p>The topic of outside directors’ functions has been attracting significant attention for many years now, especially in the discussions about corporate governance reform in Japan. Over the last two decades, most listed Japanese companies have voluntarily introduced outside directors into their boardrooms, in line with the gradual change in an overall corporate governance system toward a monitoring board model moving away from the more traditional management board model. It appears the recent trend is for companies to add outside directors to their boards of directors to increase corporate values.<strong> </strong>In the midst of transforming the management board model into the monitoring board model, closely reexamining the functions of outside directors is necessary. What can be concluded from the lessons learned from recent corporate scandals and the discussions concerning the functions of outside directors is: (1) outside directors should be truly independent from the company’s management; and (2) outside directors need access to the company’s corporate information in order to prevent corporate scandals and to provide appropriate advice to the company’s management. <strong> </strong>This paper aims at considering how to make outside directors more effective and their roles more substantial, based on the history of corporate governance reform in Japan.</p>
Managing Youth Unemployment in Developing Economies: An Analysis of Post-Graduate Students’ Learning Preferences in Kenya
Authors: Ngala Francisca Wavinya , Mbogo Rosemary Wahu 
Published: April 2019

It is a common norm to describe education as being fundamental to employment and growth in developing economies. While the highest rate of return is believed to be most experienced in those economies with both skilled and unskilled labour, the greatest responsibility lies with the highly qualified in education as they are most significant in policy formulation. Despite this, youth unemployment has remained a challenge in the 21st century that most developing countries like Kenya struggle with. This paper entails a study undertaken to explore the management of youth unemployment in Kenya, with a focus on learning preferences of postgraduate students. The study employed a descriptive survey design using the cross-sectional approach to data collection. The population of the study comprised 397 post-graduate students at Africa International University from which a sample size of 199 post-graduate Diploma, Masters’ level and Doctoral students were obtained. Questionnaire guide was used for data collection of information on the age and learning preferences of the students. Data analysis was done by descriptive and inferential statistics using regression techniques and presented in tables. A modified version of the Grasha-Riechmann Student Learning Style Scales (GRSLSS) was the learning style inventory that was used to measure student learning preferences. The findings revealed that the majority 161(95.3%) of post-graduate students were youth and preferred participant, both independent and dependent as well as collaborative learning. The question however is, why has underemployment continued to affect many young Kenyans even with the developing system of education? How can students’ learning preferences be a driver to curbing the menace of unemployment?
Pengaruh Corporate Gorvenance Islam terhadap Tax Avoidance
Authors: Arinta Yusvita Nena 
Published: April 2019

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of Islamic corporate governance on <em>tax avoidance</em> of sharia banking in Indonesia. The data that used in this study is scendary data derived from annual financial statements and good corporate governance report of sharia banking in Indonesia during 2013-2017 period. The number of sharia banking that became sample in this study were 8 banks so there 55 research samples. The metohod of analysis that use is multiple regression analysis. The results of this study show that the elements of corporate governance that consist of the board of commissioners, the board of commissioner meeting, the board of sharia, the board of sharia meeting, audit committee, meeting of audit comitte significantly influence the activity of tax avoidance as measured using proxy book tax gap. Other results show that the tax avoidance activity as measured with proxy book tax gap are not affected significantly by the board of commissioner meeting. Limitation of this study is use corporate governance’s proxy separately, so it can’t capture the full effect of corporate governane.

Published: April 2019

<p>Lahan kering iklim kering merupakan lahan potensial untuk berusahatani komoditas kacang tanah, mengingat bahwa Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur yang didominasi lahan kering dan iklim kering merupakan sentra keenam terbesar kacang tanah di Indonesia. Salah satu strategi untuk meningkatkan produksi kacang tanah jangka pendek adalah menanam varietas unggul berdaya hasil tinggi. Uji adaptasi suatu calon varietas selama ini dilakukan di sentra-sentra produksi yang terletak di dataran rendah di P. Jawa pada tipe iklim yang lebih basah. Oleh kerana itu, perlu dilakukan uji adaptasi varietas-varietas unggul di lahan kering iklim kering (LKIK). Penelitian dilaksanakan di LKIK tadah hujan di Desa Pambotan Jara, Kecamatan Waingapu yang terletak pada ketinggian 600 m dpl mulai April hingga Juni 2016. Rancangan strip plot dengan tiga ulangan digunakan pada penelitian ini. Faktor horizontal adalah enam varietas (Lokal Sandel, Kancil, Kelinci, Talam 1, Takar 1, dan takar 2), faktor vertikal adalah tiga dosis pupuk kandang (0, 2500, dan 5000 kg/ha). Pada makalah ini hanya dibahas keragaan pertumbuhan vegetatif dan generatif enam varietas tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan vegetatif dan generatif varietas unggul Kancil, Kelinci, Talam 1, Takar 1 dan Takar 2 lebih bagus dari pertumbuhan varietas lokal Sandel di lahan kering tadah hujan pada ketinggian tempat 600 m dpl. Kelima varietas ini ternyata beradaptasi pada lokasi dengan ketinggian tempat 600 m, walaupun uji adaptasinya dilakukan di sentra produksi di dataran rendah. Di antara kelima varietas yang diuji, varietas Kancil, Kelinci, dan Talam 1 mempunyai lebih banyak keunggulan dibanding varietas Takar 1 dan Takar 2. Satu-satunya keunggulan varietas lokal Sandel adalah bobot per polong yang paling tinggi.</p><p> </p>

Published: April 2019

Penggunaan pengering bertenaga hybrid memiliki keunggulan dapat memanfaatkan tenaga matahari dan biomasa sehingga dapat digunakan pada kondisi cuaca kurang baik, diantaranya untuk pengeringan sawut ubi kayu terfermentasi. Tujuan penelitian ini mengevaluasi keragaan Pengering Hybrid Energi Surya dan Biomasa arang kayu (PHESB) untuk mengeringkan sawut ubi kayu terfermentasi. Keragaan PHESB dievaluasi menggunakan model linier dan exponensial untuk menentukan laju pengeringan (% bb/jam), kapasitas pengeringan (kg/jam), dan kelayakan finansial penerapannya. Mutu hasil pengeringan dianalisis dengan uji homogenitas koefisien regresi (laju pengeringan) dari model pengeringan yang mempunyai tingkat koefisien derterminasi (R2) terbesar dari pengamatan kadar air sawut dalam arah tegak (atas, tengah, bawah) dan mendatar (depan, tengah, belakang). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada kadar air awal sawut ubi kayu 71,45% bb dan rata-rata suhu pengeringan 40,51 + 3,61 oC, penurunan kadar air sawut ubi kayu mengikuti model linier dengan R2 dari 0,969 sampai 0,984 dengan laju pengeringan homogen baik dalam arah tegak maupun mendatar. Karakteristik PHESB dapat dinyatakan dengan model linier y =-5,081x +78,30 (R2=0,978). Dengan model ini diperoleh kapasitas pengeringan 20,86 kg/jam untuk mencapai kadar air sawut ubi kayu 14% bb. Dengan harga alat pengering Rp. 40 juta/unit dan ongkos jasa pengeringan sawut ubi kayu basah Rp 600/kg diperoleh nisbah keuntungan dengan biaya pengeringan (B/C)&lt;1,0. Secara teknis PHESB layak digunakan, tetapi secara finansial masih belum layak diterapkan dalam bentuk penjualan jasa pengering sawut ubi kayu.
Leukoencephalopathia, demyelinating peripheral neuropathy and dural ectasia explained by a not formerly described de novo mutation in the SAMD9L gene, ends 27 years of investigations – A case report
Authors: Thunström Sofia , Axelsson Markus 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background: Missense mutations in SAMD9L gene is associated with ataxia-pancytopenia syndrome (ATXPC), OMIM#159550. Common clinical features in these patients include neurological and hematological symptoms. The phenotype and age of onset is variable.
Case presentation: In this case report whole exome sequencing (WES) revealed a not previously reported de novo variant c.2686T>G, p.(Phe896Val) in SAMD9L in a patient with widespread findings of slow developing pathology in the peripheral and central nervous system. The clinical picture was dominated by neurological symptoms, unlike previously described cases, and in addition dural ectasias and multiple cysts in the brain was observed using magnetic resonance imaging.
Conclusions: This case underscores the effect of variable expressivity, i.e. different mutations in the same gene can cause different phenotypes.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background The World Health Organization conditionally recommended the Determine lateral flow TB-LAM (LF-LAM) assay for tuberculosis diagnosis. The test is recommended for diagnosis and screening of active tuberculosis among HIV-infected individual’s adults with signs and symptoms of TB (pulmonary and/or extra pulmonary) with CD4 cell count less than or equal to 100 cells/mm3 or HIV-positive patients who are seriously ill, regardless of CD4 cell counts. However, the effect of MTB genetic diversity to the performance of LF-LAM remains unknown. We determined the perfomance of the against M. tuberculosis (MTB) lineages among HIV-positive individuals with pulmonary and/or MTB-bacteremia. Methods In a retrospective study, of 68 patients culture-positive for MTB, we used spoligotyping and/or MIRU-VNTR methods to determine the MTB-lineages. Patients 51 had both pulmonary and MTB-bacteremia and 17 patients had exclusively PTB. We compared the performance of LF-LAM against MTB-lineage in blood and sputum samples. LF-LAM performance was also analyzed in presence of mixed MTB-infection and patient CD4 cell count. Results The median age (interquartile range; IQR) of participants was 32 (30-35) and only sixty-six patients had CD4 results. The median (IQR) CD4 cell count/mm3 was 27(18-34). MTB-lineages in sputum were; CAS (L3) 17/68 (25%) and Euro-American-lineage (L4) 55/68 (75%) whereas in blood were L3 7/51 (13.7%) and L4 44/51 (86.3%). Among patients with TB-bacteraemia, LF-LAM was positive 100% for L3 and 32/44 (73%) for L4. LF-LAM was 100% positive among exclusively PTB patients with L3 and L4. The results did’not change by presence of mixed MTB-infection. Categroizing patients as CD4 <50 and ≥50 cell/mm3. All 100% of L3 strains remained with a positive LF-LAM test in both categories whereas 11 (68.7%) and 30 (82%) of the patients with CD >50 and ≤50 cells/mm3 respectively, with L4 had a positive LF-LAM test. Conclusions Our study show that L3 may have more specificity for LF-LAM assay than L4. Regional diversity in performance of LF-LAM assay may occur depending on the dorminat MTB lineage. Future studies on a large sample size with more MTB-lineage diversity are recommended.
CrisPam: SNP-derived PAM analysis web tool and human pathogenic SNPs database for CRISPR allele-specific targeting
Authors: Rabinowitz Roy , Darnell Roy , Offen Daniel 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background
CRISPR is a promising novel technology for treating genetic conditions. Therefore, it is essential to further develop and promote treatment’s safety and specificity. While the guide-RNA offers position-specific DNA targeting, it may tolerate small changes such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). To that end, an allele-specific targeting approach is in need for future treatments of heterozygous patients, suffering from genetic conditions caused by a SNP. The SNP-derived PAM approach allows highly allele-specific DNA cleavage by incorporating a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence only at the target allele.
Description
Here we present CrisPam, a tool that detects SNP-derived PAMs for allele-specific targeting by the CRISPR/Cas system. The algorithm scans the generation of each reported PAM for a given DNA sequence and its variations. A successful result is such that at least one PAM is generated by a SNP. Thus, the PAM shall be part of the variant allele only and the Cas protein will therefore be able to exclusively bind the variant allele for gene-editing, while the wildtype allele remains unchanged.
Conclusion
CrisPam is available online for researchers and also offers access to the CrisPamDB, a database that contains the CrisPam analysis for any reported pathogenic SNP in humans.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background
Agricultural insects are one of the major threats to crop yield. It is a known fact that pesticide application is an extensive approach to eliminate insect pests, and has severe adverse effects on environment and ecosystem; however, there is lack of knowledge whether it could influence the physiology and metabolic processes in plants.
Results
Here, we systemically analyzed the transcriptomic changes in rice after a spray of two commercial pesticides, Abamectin (ABM) and Thiamethoxam (TXM). We found only a limited number of genes were altered by two pesticide applications, indicating that pesticides cannot dramatically affect the performance of rice. Nevertheless, we characterized some Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that can be impacted by both two pesticides, suggesting their certain involvement in response to farm chemicals. Moreover, we detected several alternative splicing (AS) alterations accompanied by host gene expression, illustrating a potential role of AS in control of gene transcription during insecticide spraying. Finally, a couple of transposons were identified significantly changed with pesticides treatment, leading to a variation in adjacent coding or non-coding transcripts.
Conclusions
Altogether, our results provide valuable insights into pest management through appropriate timing and balanced mixture over sustainable application of field drugs.
Establishment of a Model to Assess Soil Cadmium Uptake by Brassica Chinensis
Authors: Dai Yunchao , Nasir Mubasher , Zhang Yulin , Lv Jialong 
Published: April 2019

Core Ideas
Cadmium uptake by Brassica chinensis was positively related with soil Cd content.
Soil pH and OC acted as dominant factors regulating Cd uptake in Brassica chinensis.
The log‐transformed data was more appropriate in establishing the regress equations.
The predication model was best established combining with soil pH and OC.
Estimating cadmium (Cd) bioavailability and transfer to plants are important for food safety. We aimed to determine the dominant soil factors regulating the transfer of Cd from a wide variety of Chinese soils to Pak Choi (Brassica chinensis) and to establish a model for prediction of Cd uptake in B. chinensis. A greenhouse experiment was conducted in which B. chinensis plants were grown under 14‐h 20°C light/10‐h 16°C dark photoperiod for 60 d. The total Cd content in the plant and soil samples was measured. The Cd concentration in B. chinensis was positively correlated to the soil Cd concentration, and negatively correlated to the soil pH and soil organic carbon (SOC) content. The bio‐concentration factors (BCF) measured in acidic soils (the maximum value being 0.551) were higher than those in alkaline soils (the maximum value being 0.366). Multivariable (pH, SOC, and total soil Cd) regression analysis could estimate the Cd bioavailability more accurately compared with the single‐factor (total soil Cd) analysis. The most accurate Freundlich‐type equation (Log[Cplant] = 2.34Log[Csoil] – 0.27pH – 0.23Log[SOC] + 0.92) was developed to estimate the Cd bioavailability using combined data from all treatments. The model described by us would be useful for estimating the bioavailability of Cd to B. chinensis in a variety of soils and would be helpful in assessing the risk of Cd contamination in soils.
How to avoid evaporation during rheological measurements of dewatered pasty sludge at high temperature
Authors: Mouzaoui M. , Baudez J. C. , Sauceau M. , Arlabosse P. 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Controlling the residence time in paddle dryers and the drying efficiency imply the knowledge of rheological behaviour of highly concentrated and pasty sludge and its temperature dependency. However, because of perturbing effects such as evaporation, measurements are not fully representative of intrinsic sludge properties. Classical techniques usually considered in the literature for evaporation control are not efficient at high temperatures. This work gives a method to control the evaporation at high temperature that can be used with any commercial rheometer. The configuration concept is to prevent water loss by limiting the contact between the sheared sludge and the environment. This configuration allows preventing evaporation up to 80 °C at least during 2 h. Its efficiency is confirmed at different total solid (TS) contents ranging from 20 to 47 wt.%.

Published: April 2019

Background:Obesity is a chronic condition associated with poorer cognitive functioning. Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is a useful tool for evaluating executive functions. In this study, we assessed the association between dopaminergic gene polymorphisms: DAT1 (SLC6A3), COMTVal158Met, DRD4 (48-bp variable number of tandem repeats - VNTR) and WCST parameters to investigate the functions of the frontal lobes in obese individuals.Objective:To find the significant correlations between polymorphisms of DAT1, COMTVal158Met, DRD4 and executive functions in obese subjects.Methods:The analysis of the frequency of individual alleles was performed in 248 obese patients (179 women, 69 men). Evaluation of the prefrontal cortex function (operating memory and executive functions) was measured with the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Separate analyzes were performed in age subgroups to determine different activities and regulation of genes in younger and older participants.Results:Scores of WCST parameters were different in the subgroups of women and men and in the age subgroups. Regarding the COMT gene, patients with A/A and G/A polymorphisms showed significantly better WCST results in WCST_P, WCST_CC and WCST_1st. Regarding DAT1 men with L/L and L/S made less non-perseverative errors, which was statistically significant. In DRD4, significantly better WCST_1st results were found only in older women with S allele.Conclusion:Obtained results indicate the involvement of dopaminergic transmission in the regulation of prefrontal cortex function. Data analysis indicates that prefrontal cortex function may ensue, from different elements such as genetic factors, metabolic aspects of obesity, and hormonal activity (estrogen).
