Published: June 2018

Changes in the organization will take place when there is an objective change, direction and exchange of new management within an organization. The purpose of this study is to find the best approach to be used by the management in selecting the most contributing factors to stimulate the staff’s attitude for their readiness to change. Several contributing factors such as management and administration, organizational commitment and influence of peer group are seen as catalysts for staff readiness in Sungai Petani Community College (SPCC) to change. The research model was proposed with three hypotheses in responding the objective of the study. This quantitative study involves 74 respondents comprising staffs in the Sungai Petani Community College who are required to answer a set of questionnaires. This study uses descriptive statistical analysis using the SPSS version 21 software while the inferential statistics are used Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) version 3.0. The findings show that Influence of peer group factor has a positive impact on employee willingness in SPCC to change while management and administration factors as well as organizational commitment have a little significant effect on their willingness to change. The results of this study can help the management to use the stimulus factors that will help the organization in implementing the changes in the organization later.

Keywords: Change Management, Management and Administration, Organizational Commitment, Influence of Peer Group, and Readiness to Change.
Calificación de los conceptos de servicio técnico, asistencia técnica y consultoría en los CDI vigentes en Colombia
Authors: Sánchez Castillo Hernán 
Published: June 2018

Con la evolución y el desarrollo constante de factores económicos, comerciales y migratorios en los últimos dos siglos, los países se han visto en la necesidad de ejecutar prácticas y realizar marcos regulatorios internacionales para una buena práctica comercial
entre aquellas partes que lo acuerdan. De este modo, los gobiernos de cada jurisdicción, junto con sus representantes a nivel mundial, en algún momento histórico se han preocupado por celebrar acuerdos internacionales de carácter bilateral o multilateral que fortalezcan o coadyuven las relaciones con otros países. Sin embargo, de los acuerdos celebrados y vigentes en cada jurisdicción en materia fiscal, se derivan conflictos que surgen al momento de su aplicación, conflictos que se ven divididos en conflictos de calificación y de interpretación. Frente a este tema en particular, el presente estudio busca analizar un caso presentado actualmente entre la Administración General de Tributos de España y la Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales (DIAN) al momento de calificar el servicio de asesoría legal y/o jurídica prestado por un residente español en Colombia sin la configuración de un establecimiento permanente; conflicto que surge por la aplicación del contenido del Convenio para evitar la doble imposición (en adelante CDI) entre Colombia y España en lo relacionado con el término no definido de consultoría, calificado dentro de la cláusula de regalías.
Simplificación tributaria territorial en Colombia
Authors: Cubides Durán Eduardo Andrés 
Published: June 2018

Las entidades territoriales en Colombia afrontan diversos problemas de financiamiento que les impiden cumplir con sus diferentes obligaciones y responsabilidades a nivel social, producto de la gran dependencia de la mayoría de los municipios y departamentos en las transferencias del nivel central, motivo por el cual la tributación es una fuente importante de ingresos que vale la pena revisar a la luz de obtener mayores recursos. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, debe recordarse que la Constitución Política y posterior interpretación jurisprudencial del artículo 388 constitucional restringen el marco de acción que tienen las entidades territoriales respecto de la imposición de sus tributos. Sin embargo, existen alternativas jurídicas válidas para adaptar estas exacciones locales a las necesidades de cada Administración Tributaria en particular; de tal modo, se revisará si las medidas planteadas son jurídicamente posibles y eficientes.
AGAMA DAN KEKERASAN MASSA

Published: June 2018

<p>Tulisan· ini membahas secara sosiologis fenomena terjadinya berbagai kekerasan massa. Selanjutnya akan difokuskan pada agama sebagai salah satu variabel penting yang perlu juga dilihat dalam setiap peristiwa kekerasan terjadi. Meskipun kekerasan bukan semata-mata dipicu oleh agama, tapi seringkali agama dimanfaatkan untuk memberi legitimasi. Anggapan seperti ini segera mengundang diskursus karena merefleksikan kenyataan paradoks dengan misi yang diemban oleh agama. Karena itu dalam konteks ini, agaknya perlu dipertegas tempat sosiologis, sehingga dengan mudah dapat dideskripsikan kaitan agama dengan kekerasan. Dalam hal ini, tata nilai dan moral dapat dijadikan pandangan hidup bagi masyarakat manusia, tetapi di pihak lain agama juga kadang-kadang dapat menjadi pemicu konflik yang pada urutannya dapat menimbulkan kekerasan atau pun perselisihan yang meluas. Meskipun dalam batas tertentu, perselisihan itu sendiri mempunyai nilai positif dan negatif. Teori konflik dalam sosiologi keagamaan cenderung mementingkan peran self interest dalam perilaku manusia termasuk perilaku yang bersifat religius. Karena itu, dengan optimalisasi peran agama, kekerasan clan konflik dalam masyarakat dengan sendirinya dapat tereliminir atau diperkecil bahkan ditiadakan.</p><p> </p><p>This paper discusses sociologically the phenomenon of mass violence. It will then focus on religion as one of the important variables that need to be seen in any violent incident. Although violence is not solely triggered by religion, it is often used to legitimize religion. This kind of opinion immediately invites discourse because it reflects the reality of paradox with the mission carried by religion. Hence in this context, it seems necessary to emphasize the sociological place, so that it can easily be described as a religious link to violence. In this case, values and morals can be used as a worldview for human society, but on the other hand religion can sometimes be a trigger of conflict that in a sequence may lead to widespread violence or dispute. Although in some respects, the dispute itself has a positive and negative value. Conflict theory in religious sociology tends to emphasize the role of self-interest in human behavior, including religious behavior. Therefore, by optimizing the role of religion, violence and conflicts within society can in itself be eliminated or minimized and even eliminated.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
TEOLOGI ANTROPOMORFISTIK: Alternatif Pemikiran. Menyelesaikan Tindak Kekerasan
Authors: Soleh Achmad Khudori 
Published: June 2018

<p>Normatively, none of the religions advocate us to encourage their followers to engage in violence against their different peers and followers of other religions. However, historically-factually, violence is often a religious community. This paper tries to see the root of the problem that can encourage the occurrence of violence and provide alternative thought. Theocentric theological thinking has caused people to be ignorant of factual-empirical conditions, not knowing others, not even knowing themselves. This has caused the people blindly defend their religious conceptions. Therefore, theocentric theology should be overhauled and drawn into anthropocentric theology (theology of humanity), so that the faithful can understand it, understand its environment, and pervade the pluralistic empirical conditions. At the same time, it is necessary also between the sacred normative region and the profane historical territory, so as to see where the standard teachings and which products of thought are changing and can be criticized. Thus the community can dialog and can cooperate with others well, open and wholeheartedly</p><p> </p><p>Secara normatif, tidak ada satupun agama yang menganjurkan kita untuk mendorong pemeluknya untuk melakukan kekerasan, baik terhadap sesamanya yang berbeda pandangan maupun pada pengikut agama lain. Namun, secara historis-faktual, tidak jarang tindak kekerasan dilakukan komunitas yang agamis. Tulisan ini mencoba melihat akar persoalan yang bisa­ mendorong terjadinya tindak kekerasan dan memberikan pemikiran alternatifnya. Pemikiran teologis yang teosentris telah menyebabkan masyarakat tidak kenal kondisi faktual-empiris, tidak kenal orang lain, bahkan tidak kenal dirinya sendiri. Hal ini menyebabkan masyarakat pemeluknya secara membabi buta membela konsep-konsep keagamaaannya. Karena itu, teologi teosentris (ketuhanan) harus dirombak dan ditarik menjadi teologi antroposentris (teologi kemanusiaan), sehingga umat agama bisa memahami dlirinya, memahami lingkungannya clan mernahami kondisi empirik yang pluralistik. Bersamaan dengan itu, perlu pula antara wilayah normatif yang sakral dan wilayah historis yang profan, sehingga bisa melihat mana ajaran yang baku dan mana produk pemikiran yang berubah dan bisa dikritik. Dengan demikian masyarakat bisa berdialog clan bekerja sama clengan orang lain secara baik, terbuka clan lapang dada</p>
MENYIKAPI BUDAYA KEKERASAN

<p>Violence that occurred during the reign of Abdurrahman Wahid, whether nuanced, religion, race and intergroup (SARA) or nuanced disintegration of the nation can not be seen from the side lahiriyah, but the violence needs to be studied in depth from various aspects which surrounds it, as Abdurrahman Wahid's rise as president is a national compromise reflected in his cabinet structure that seeks to accommodate the aspirations of all political contestants who participate in the elections, so the cabinet is called the "National Unity" cabinet. This has led to the emergence of leadership dualism from his cabinet ministers, under certain conditions to his political party and in other conditions to the President. And more exacerbating, the rise of Abdurrahman Wahid inherited the condition of 'doomsday' in all its fields as the legacy of the New Order regime under the leadership of General Soeharto. In this paper the authors will examine the violence that occurred during the reign of Abdurrahman Wahid from various aspects. In addition the author offers several solutions from Islamic perspective.</p><p> </p><p>Kekerasan-kekerasan yang terjadi pada masa Pemerintahan Abdurrahman Wahid, baik yang bernuansa Suku, Agama, Ras dan Antar Golongan (SARA) maupun yang bernuansa disintegrasi bangsa tidak bisa dilihat dari sisi lahiriyah saja, tetapi kekerasan-kekerasan tersebut perlu dikaji secara mendalam dari berbagai aspek yang melingkupinya, karena naiknya Abdurrahman Wahid sebagai presiden merupakan suatu kompromi nasional yang tercermin dalam susunan kabinetnya yang berusaha mewadahi aspirasi dari semua kontestan politik yang ikut pemilu, sehingga kabinet tersebut dinamakan kabinet "Persatuan Nasional". Hal ini berimbas kepada munculnya dualisme kepemimpinan dari para menteri kabinetnya, dalam kondisi tertentu kepada parpolnya dan dalam kondisi yang lain kepada Presiden. Dan yang lebih memperparah, naiknya Abdurrahman Wahid mewarisi kondisi 'kiamat' dalam segala bidangnya sebagai warisan rezim Orde Baru di bawah pimpinan Jendral Soeharto. Dalam tulisan ini penulis akan mengkaji kekerasan-kekerasan yang terjadi pada masa Pemerintahan Abdurrahman Wahid dari berbagai aspek.

Midwives’ Perceptions of Barriers to Respectful Maternity Care for Adolescent Mothers in Jamaica: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Wilson-Mitchell Karline , Marowitz Amy , Lori Jody R. 
Published: June 2018

Background:Few studies have examined respectful maternity care (RMC) of adolescent mothers in the Caribbean. The researchers’ objective was to explore the perceptions of midwives who provide care for adolescent mothers in Jamaica. Design: A pilot qualitative study was conducted in 2015. Participants were 12 community or nurse-midwives who practiced in rural and urban regions of Jamaica attended a nursing and midwifery conference.Method:Semistructured focus groups and interviews of Jamaican midwives were conducted. The World Health Organization (WHO) definitions of respectful care in relationship to sexual and reproductive health rights, and data were examined using a poststructural feminist version of Denzin’s interpretive interactionism theory. Braun and Clark’s method of reiterative content analysis was employed. Findings:Participants shared their work experience with adolescent mothers and explained that restrictive public and institutional policies culture, personal beliefs, and the location of care delivery hindered them from providing respectful care which allows for shared decision-making, informed consent, and allowing for a desired labour companion. They perceived their roles as advocates, educators, expert helpers, and worker activists. Conclusions:Out of hospital environments appeared to facilitate the advocacy role. Policies and attitudes had the potential to hinder or to promote RMC. These findings may be used to inform a national midwifery survey, educational modules, health systems change to allow for less restrictive policies and spaces.

Purpose:To test a meditation model of the relationship between core self-evaluations (CSE) and job satisfaction in employed individuals with disabilities.Method:A quantitative descriptive design using Hayes’s (2012) PROCESS macro for SPSS and multiple regression analysis. Two-hundred fifty-nine employed persons with disabilities were recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk to participate in the study.Results:Support from supervisors, work engagement, wage, and job stress were found to partially mediate the relationship between CSE and job satisfaction. The direct effect of CSE on job satisfaction was still significant after controlling for the effects of all mediators.Conclusions:CSE affected job satisfaction in persons with disabilities, both directly and through improved supervisory support, greater engagement in work, increased pay, and decreased job stress. Implications of the results on rehabilitation counseling practice to improve job satisfaction in clients with disabilities are discussed.
Characterizing Pores and Pore-Scale Flow Properties in Middle Bakken Cores
Authors: Karimi Somayeh , Kazemi Hossein 
Published: June 2018

Summary
To understand the flow and transport mechanisms in shale reservoirs, we needed reliable core-measured data that were not available to us. Thus, in 2014, we conducted a series of diverse experiments to characterize pores and determine the flow properties of 12 Middle Bakken cores that served as representatives for unconventional low-permeability reservoirs. The experiments included centrifuge, mercury-intrusion capillary pressure (MICP), nitrogen adsorption, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and resistivity. From the centrifuge measurements, we determined the mobile-fluid-saturation range for water displacing oil and gas displacing oil in addition to irreducible fluid saturations. From MICP and nitrogen adsorption, we determined pore-size distribution (PSD). Finally, from resistivity measurements, we determined tortuosity. In addition to flow characterization, these data provided key parameters that shed light on the mechanisms involved in primary production and the enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) technique.
The cores were in three conditions: clean, preserved, and uncleaned. The hydrocarbon included Bakken dead oil and decane, and the brine included Bakken produced water and synthetic brine. After saturating the cores with brine or oil, a set of drainage and imbibition experiments was performed. NMR measurements were conducted before and after each saturation/desaturation step. After cleaning, PSD was determined for four cores using MICP and nitrogen-adsorption tests. Finally, resistivity was measured for five of the brine-saturated cores.
The most significant results include the following:
Centrifuge capillary pressure in Bakken cores was on the order of hundreds of psi, both in positive and negative range. Mobile-oil-saturation range for water displacing oil was very narrow [approximately 12% pore volume (PV)] and much wider (approximately 40% PV) for gas displacing oil. In Bakken cores, oil production by spontaneous imbibition of high-salinity brine was small unless low-salinity brine was used for spontaneous imbibition. Resistivity measurements yielded unexpectedly large tortuosity values (12 to 19), indicating that molecules and bulk fluids have great difficulty to travel from one point to another in shale reservoirs.
Secondary and Micronutrient Uptake, Partitioning, and Removal across a Wide Range of Soybean Seed Yield Levels
Authors: Gaspar Adam P. , Laboski Carrie A.M. , Naeve Seth L. , Conley Shawn P. 
Published: June 2018

Micronutrient uptake was strongly influenced by environment and/or variety.
Leaf tissue micronutrient concentrations varied largely between growth stages and within each specific growth stage.
Total micronutrient uptake for soybean yield of 6,700 kg ha−1 was <0.9 kg ha−1 for Zn, Mn, Cu, Fe, and B.
Late season S supply is critical as sulfur uptake during seed fill increased with yield, while remobilization from vegetative tissue was relatively less than that of N.
Reduced atmospheric S deposition, in conjunction with higher grain sale prices and steadily increasing yields of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], has many growers considering an increase in secondary and micronutrient applications. Limited information exists quantifying requirements of S, Mg, Ca, Zn, Mn, Cu, Fe, and B across a wide yield range for modern soybean production systems. Using six site‐years and eight varieties, plants were sampled at six growth stages and partitioned into their respective plant parts and analyzed. Nutrients were acquired heavily (48–73%) from R1 through R5.5 with peak uptake rates near R3. Yet, uptake after R5.5 represented a greater portion of total S uptake as yield increased from the low (24.9%) to high (32.2%) yield level (3608 vs. 5483 kg ha−1). This coincided with seed S accumulation, which relied more heavily on continued uptake after R5.5 (58%) vs. vegetative S remobilization (42%). Across all environments (site × year) and varieties, total S uptake (0.004 kg S kg grain−1) and removal (0.003 kg S kg grain−1) showed moderate (R2 = 0.58) and strong (R2 = 0.76) relations with yield, respectively. These relations for each micronutrient were much weaker (R2 = 0.13–0.66), due largely to the main effects of environment and variety along with their respective interactions with yield. Furthermore, micronutrient concentrations in leaf tissue varied considerably (CV = 28–46%) during recommend testing stages. Thus, previously reported inconsistent yield responses to foliar application of these micronutrients may primarily be due to the large variability in leaf tissue concentrations and nutrient requirements.
Ammonia Emissions from Subalpine Forest and Mountain Grassland Soils in Rocky Mountain National Park
Authors: Stratton Joshua J. , Ham Jay , Borch Thomas 
Published: June 2018

Atmospheric deposition of NH3 and NH4+ contributes to eutrophication within sensitive subalpine ecosystems of Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in the United States. However, little is known about the local contribution of NH3 from soils within the park. Thus, the goal of this study was to quantify and compare NH3 emissions from intact soil cores sampled from a subalpine grassland and forest within RMNP. Cores were collected at 2‐wk intervals from 20 June 2011 to 12 Sept. 2011 and transferred to a laboratory chamber system for NH3 flux measurements. Additionally, N wet deposition was monitored at the sampling location to investigate possible impacts on NH3 soil emissions. The average quantifiable NH3 emissions (with SDs) from intact soil cores analyzed in the laboratory (23°C) were 0.42 ± 0.30 mg NH3–N m−2 d−1 for grassland soil and 0.21 ± 0.03 mg NH3–N m−2 d−1 for forest soil (p < 0.001). A mechanistic model was developed to estimate the impact of temperature on soil emissions using the chamber data and field‐site air temperatures. Average estimated NH3 emissions from the field site over the study period were 0.21 and 0.082 mg NH3–N m−2 d−1 for grasslands and forests, respectively. Ammonium wet deposition was not correlated to short term reemission of NH3 based on N isotope analysis. This work provides new information on the magnitude of NH3 emissions from native subalpine soils, indicating that natural emissions are not likely major sources of NH3 in the RMNP airshed.Core Ideas
We assessed NH3 emissions from native subalpine soils in the RMNP.
NH3 emissions from grassland and forest soils within RMNP were directly compared.
NH3 emissions from forest soils were significantly lower than grassland soils.
Natural NH3 emission from soils likely plays a minor role in NH4+ wet deposition in the RMNP.
