Authors: Rosita Neni 
Published: September 2017

Fakta difabel di UIN Sunan Kalijaga belum semua bisa mandiri, disebabkan ada beberapa hal yang tidak dapat dilakukan sendiri seperti mencari buku diperpustakaan, mengedit tugas untuk difabel netra. Oleh karena itu, mahasiswa difabel membutuhkan peranan relawan, dalam proses menjalankan pendidikan di perguruan tinggi, yang aksesibilitasnya belum tercipta secara holistic dan konprehensif. Berdasarkan paparan tersebut maka penting untuk dilakukannya penelitian terkait dengan bagaimana peran relawan Pusat Layanan Difabel (PLD) UIN Sunan Kalijaga dan bagaimana kemandirian yang dimiliki oleh mahasiswa difabel UIN Sunan Kalijaga yang bergabung di PLD. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif, dengan jenis penelitian lapangan, data primier berupa observasi dan wawancara beberapa relawan dan mahasiswa difabel yang juga sebagai subjek dalam penelitian ini. Adapun hasil dari penelitian ini adalah: Pertama, Peran relawan di Pusat Layanan Difabel UIN Sunan Kalijaga yakni pendampingan kuliah untuk difabel rungu dan pendampingan ujian untuk difabel netra serta pengenalan mobilitas kampus terhadap semua difabel. Sehingga dapat memudahkan dalam mengenal lingkungan di UIN Sunan Kalijaga. Relawan berperan dalam menjembatani difabel agar dapat menyuarakan hak­haknya di hadapan publik. Kedua, Kemandirian difabel terlihat pada kemandirian belajar di kampus UIN Sunan Kalijaga yang dapat mengikuti kuliah dan pelajaran dengan baik. Baik dalam menyelesaikan dan mengedit tugas, membaca buku, dan keperpustakaan. Difabel yang mandiri mampu bersaing dan selalu optimis dalam setiap situasi yang dihadapi.

ABSTRACT
Valuation of cultural assets represents a very actual topic not widely discussed within contemporary accounting and financial research. Main motivation of this paper is therefore to provide an empirical evidence of the methods for valuation of cultural and artistic goods. In general, any method for valuating cultural and artistic goods or institutions cannot bring results as objective as those available to valuate assets in the real market economy. Within this paper we did focused on valuation on a specific case of cultural institutions (theatre, museum) and also we aimed to analyse the economic impacts of cultural organizations.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the compliance of Romanian listed companies with corporate governance codes. From 2010, the “Comply or Explain” Statement, which discloses if and how the corporate governance principles are applied, became mandatory for all companies listed on Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE). The methodology employed is based on the analysis of the above mentioned Statements published for the period 2009-2013. Research aims to present through a longitudinal and qualitative study the evolution of the compliance with the BSE Corporate Governance Codes. Most of the observed companies made a step forward in what concerns corporate governance principles and over the study period they disclosed more information on their statements. On the other hand, we found cases where the statements made over the studied period contained inconsistencies for some principles. The implementation of corporate governance rules ensures transparent decision-making, based on clear rules and objectives, and increases shareholders’ confidence in the company.
Cultural Reversal: Why Does Obedience Lose with the Initiative?
Authors: Slinták Karel 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
The article deals with the question which management philosophy is better, management philosophy based on culture HOW or management philosophy based on culture WHY. With respect to this article, author used these techniques, namely quantitative research, case methodology and literature analysis. Consequently, from the research, it can be predicted that most companies prefer a management model which inclines more towards planning, organizing and controlling than to leadership. This approach is a part of the traditional management system through which the organizational culture of “HOW” is implemented. The hidden costs of this model are apathetic staff, lost revenues and mainly work-related stress. These factors, which cause a lack of participation in the workplace, similarly lead to paralysis of innovation capabilities of most companies. They negatively affect the overall productivity of the economy and cause considerable social costs. However, there is also alternative management system based on the WHY culture. This management system, which releases initiative, creativity and enthusiasm, was investigated in the Toyota, FAVI and W. L. Gore. Author found out that these companies are able to eliminate the negative consequences of the traditional management model. The key features of this model are trust, freedom and responsibility, all three of which enrich the system with the ability to learn iteratively from one’s own mistakes.
The Most Important Attributes of Entrepreneurs. Case Study of the Environment of Czech SMEs.
Authors: Belás J. , Ključnikov A. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
The aim of this paper was to define and quantify the most important attributes of entrepreneurs in the segment of small and medium-sized enterprises. The partial objective was to compare the opinions of the entrepreneurs in relation to their gender, age and level of education. Scientific questions, defined in this paper, were verified through empirical research conducted in the Czech Republic in 2015 on a sample of 1,141 entrepreneurs. In our research, we found that entrepreneurs consider expertise, responsibility and perseverance to be the most important personal characteristics and skills. Propensity to risk and decisiveness are ranked right after them. The same group of three most important attributes is presented by all defined groups of entrepreneurs, which means that the assessment of the importance of these attributes remains the same regardless of gender, age and level of education of the entrepreneur. It is interesting that the weight of the expertise increases with the age of the entrepreneur. This trend is caused by the fact that men significantly more intensively presented this opinion. When evaluating the attitudes of entrepreneurs to other characteristics and skills no significant differences in relation to gender, age and education were identified.

Abstract
Many organisations recognizes the use of human resource as a major influence to their success. And with today’s competitive environment, it is imperative for organisations to find ways to be more effective and efficient in utilizing their resources so as to improve their general performance. Hence, there is need to recruit and retain highly qualified and motivated employees in order to remain competitive in the unstable environment. This study evaluates the relationship between recruitment practices, employee motivation and their impact on organisational performance focusing on the Nigerian banking industry, with a view to investigating factors that motivate employees of Nigerian banks and the methods banks adopt to motivate their employees. The study also assesses recruitment and selection methods used by Nigerian banks to select effective employees. The study is a cross-sectional in time and the primary data collected from a conveniently selected sample of 60 employees each of the seven selected banks. Face-to-face survey and interview was carried out in order to achieve the research objectives and back up theoretical findings. Using correlation and thematic analysis, the results indicated that there was a strong positive relationship between employee motivation, recruitment practices and organisational performance. Findings from the analysis identified that bank employees are mostly extrinsically motivated; although intrinsic factors also motivate them, it is not as motivating as extrinsic factors. The banks also provide more of extrinsic motivators to increase the performance of their employees. The banks make use of various methods of employee selection, by dividing the methods into stages. In addition, recruiting is mostly undertaken through recruitment agencies or advert placements. The study provides future recommendations that banks in Nigeria should be firmer in their selection processes; this will allow them to identify unsuitable applicants and make room for effective employees who will improve the efficiency of the bank and be motivated. At the same time, this research also suggests that the bank should provide more accessible motivational incentives for its employees in order to boost their performance because unmotivated employees are of no use to any organisation.

Authors: Rehman Obaid Ur 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
The study investigates capital structure of all non-financial listed firms on Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) for the period of 2008 to 2014. To test the relation between firm aggressive behavior and its performance, the study uses exponential generalized least square regression by employing control variables. Levin, Hadri and ADF test are used to know the stationarity of data. Furthermore different diagnostic tests like VIF, Weisberg test for heteroskedasticity and Breusch and Pagan Lagrangian multiplier test for random effects are used to check the data normality. Results of the study reveals that financial managers’ aggressiveness regarding financial policy is negatively, while aggressiveness regarding investment policy is positively effecting the firm’s performance. The study also found that with the passage of time, firms in Pakistan have been devastating their performance. That’s why study found negative relation between firms’ age and dependent variables.

Abstract
Petrakos, G, Tynan, NC, Vallely-Farrell, AM, Kiely, C, Boudhar, A, and Egan, B. Reliability of the maximal resisted sprint load test and relationships with performance measures and anthropometric profile in female field sport athletes. J Strength Cond Res 33(6): 1704–1714, 2019—Resisted sled sprint (RSS) training is an effective modality for the improvement of linear sprint speed. Previous methods of RSS load prescription, e.g., an absolute load or as a percentage of body mass (%BM), do not account for interindividual differences in strength, power, or speed characteristics, although the “maximum resisted sled load” (MRSL) method of RSS load prescription may provide a solution. Maximum resisted sled load is defined as the final RSS load before an athlete can no longer accelerate between 2 phases (10–15 and 15–20 m) of a 20-m linear sprint. However, the MRSL test has not been analyzed for reliability. In addition, MRSL performance has not been compared with the outcome of other performance tests. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the reliability of the MRSL testing protocol in female field sport athletes. Participants (age, 20.8 ± 1.9 years; body mass, 64.3 ± 8.4 kg; height, 1.66 ± 0.65 m) tested for anthropometric measurements, strength and power performance testing, and twice for MRSL. Maximum resisted sled load values ranged from 20.7 to 58.9% BM. Maximum resisted sled load test-retest reliability intraclass correlation coefficient, confidence intervals, and coefficient of variations were 0.95, 0.85–0.98, and 7.6%, respectively. Maximum resisted sled load was“moderately” and “strongly” correlated with a number of anthropometric and performance tests (p ≤ 0.05), including percentage fat free mass, countermovement jump, loaded countermovement jump, rate of force development, horizontal jump, and horizontal bound performance. Maximum resisted sled load is a reliable measure for determining the RSS load at which an individual can no longer accelerate during a single RSS effort over 0–20 m. Maximum resisted sled load also accounts for interindividual variation in body composition, power, and speed characteristics of female field sport players.

Abstract
Duc, S, Rønnestad, BR, and Bertucci, W. Adding whole-body vibration to preconditioning squat exercise increases cycling sprint performance. J Strength Cond Res 34(5): 1354–1361, 2020—This study investigated the effect of performing a preconditioning exercise with or without whole-body vibration (WBV) on a subsequent cycling sprint performance. Fourteen trained subjects performed 2 separate test sessions in randomized order. After a warm-up, the preconditioning exercise (body-loaded half-squats) was applied: 30 seconds of half-squats with WBV (40 Hz, 2 mm) or 30 seconds of half-squats without WBV with a 10-second all-out sprint performed after 1 minute. Surface electromyography (EMG) was measured from the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and gastrocnemius medialis during the sprints. Blood lactate level (BL), heart rate (HR), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were determined immediately after the 10-second sprint. Performing preconditioning exercise with WBV resulted in superior peak (1,693 ± 356 vs. 1,637 ± 349 W, p ≤ 0.05) and mean power output (1,121 ± 174 vs. 1,085 ± 175 W, p ≤ 0.05) compared with preconditioning exercise without WBV. Effect sizes showed a moderate and large practical effect of WBV vs. no WBV on peak and mean power output, respectively. No differences were observed between the conditions for BL, HR, and RPE after the sprints and in EMG activity during the sprints. In conclusion, it is plausible to suggest that body-loaded half-squats with WBV acutely induce higher power output levels. The practical application of the current study is that body-loaded squats with WBV can be incorporated into preparations for specific sprint training to improve the quality of the sprint training and also to improve sprint performance in relevant competitions.

Authors: Flaherty Michael R. , Raybould Toby , Kelleher Cassandra M. , Seethala Raghu , Lee Jarone , Kaafarani Haytham M.A. , Masiakos Peter T. 
Published: September 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
In 2010, the Massachusetts Legislature passed a comprehensive law that restricted off-road vehicle (ORV) use by children &lt;14 years old and regulated ORV use by children up to the age of 18 years. We aimed to examine the impact of the 2010 Massachusetts law on the rates of ORV-related injuries.

METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was performed of Massachusetts emergency department (ED) and inpatient discharges between 2002 and 2013 as found in the Center for Health Information and Analysis database by using external causes of injury codes specific to ORV-related injuries. Yearly population-based rates were compared before and after the implementation of the law (2002–2010 vs 2011–2013) by using Poisson regression analysis and segmented regression.

RESULTS:
There were 3638 ED discharges and 481 inpatient discharges for ORV-related injuries in children across the 12-year study period. After the implementation of the law, the rate of ED discharges declined by 33% in 0- to 9-year-olds, 50% in 10- to 13-year-olds, and 39% in 14 to 17-year-olds (P &lt; .0001). There was no significant decline in ED discharges for 25- to 34-year-olds. Inpatient hospital discharges were also reduced by 41% in 0- to 17-year-olds after implementation (P &lt; .001).

CONCLUSIONS:
As compared with adults (ages 25–34 years), the population-based ORV-related injury rate of residents &lt;18 years old significantly declined after the passage of legislation that imposed age restrictions and other safeguards for youth riders.

Authors: Palamar Joseph J. , Barratt Monica J. , Coney Leigh , Martins Silvia S. 
Published: September 2017

OBJECTIVES:
In this study, we examined the prevalence and correlates of current synthetic cannabinoid (SC) use among high school seniors in the United States.

METHODS:
Monitoring the Future, an annual nationally representative survey of high school seniors, began querying current (30-day) SC use in 2014. Data were examined from the 2 most recent cohorts (2014–2015; N = 7805). Prevalence of self-reported use was examined and differences in demographics and recency and frequency of other drug use was compared between current marijuana-only users and current SC (plus marijuana) users using χ2 and generalized linear model using Poisson.

RESULTS:
We found that 2.9% of students reported current SC use; 1.4% of students (49.7% of users) reported using SCs on ≥3 days in the past month. SC users were more likely to report more recent (and often more frequent) use of lysergic acid diethylamide, cocaine, heroin, and/or nonmedical use of opioids compared with marijuana-only users. Compared with current marijuana-only users, SC users were more likely to report lower parent education (P &lt; .05) and current use of a higher number of illegal drugs other than marijuana (Ps &lt; .001). Students using SCs ≥10 times in the past month were more likely to be boys, frequent marijuana users (Ps &lt; .01), African American, and users of multiple other illegal drugs (Ps &lt; .001).

CONCLUSIONS:
SC use is typically part of a repertoire of polydrug use, and polydrug use is less prevalent among marijuana-only users. Current SC users are at risk for poisoning from use of the newest generation of SCs and from concurrent drug use.
Impact of a multicomponent hand hygiene intervention strategy in reducing infection rates at a university hospital in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Al Kuwaiti Ahmed 
Published: September 2017

Background and aims
Few studies have reported the correlation between hand hygiene (HH) practices and infection rates in Saudi Arabia. This work was aimed to study the effect of a multicomponent HH intervention strategy in improving HH compliance and reducing infection rates at King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia between January 2014 and December 2016.

Methods
A yearlong multicomponent HH intervention, which included various strategies recommended by the World Health Organization, was introduced. HH compliance among staff and infection rates observed in the inpatient wards were assessed and compared at pre- and post-interventional phases.

Results
There was a significant increase in mean HH compliance from 50.17% to 71.75% after the intervention (P < 0.05). Hospital-acquired infection (HAI) and catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) rates decreased from 3.37 to 2.59 and from 3.73 to 1.75, respectively (P < 0.05). HH compliance was found to be negatively correlated with HAI (r = −0.278) and CAUTI (r = −0.523) rates.

Conclusions
Results show that multicomponent intervention is effective in improving HH compliance, and that an increase in HH compliance among hospital staff decreases infection rates. Further studies on cost-effectiveness of such a model could augment to these findings.
The interaction effects of resistance training and sustanon abuse on liver antioxidant activities and serum enzymes in male rats
Authors: Arazi Hamid , Rahmati Siavash , Ghafoori Hosein 
Published: September 2017

Background
Anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS) are synthetic drugs derived from testosterone, the uncontrolled usage of which may lead to serious side effects. Previous studies have shown that resistance training (RT) is the main exercise modality practiced by AAS abusers. Thus, this work was carried out to evaluate the hepatotoxic effects of sustanon (Su) as an example of AAS in trained male rats.

Methods
Rats were divided into sedentary/non-Su, sedentary/Su, RT/non-Su, and RT/Su. Su-administration groups received Su 10 mg/kg intramuscularly once a week for 8 weeks. In the 8-week RT, the rats climbed a vertical ladder 3 days/week.

Results
After Su administration, the mean values of serum parameters related to hepatic function were within normal ranges. Superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activities were higher (P < 0.05) in the liver of Su-treated rats. Chronic exercise alone did not change any of the above parameters.

Conclusions
The present findings suggest that the 8-week injection of Su, either with or without concurrent RT upregulation of enzymatic antioxidant activities and RT, did not attenuate the increase of enzymatic activities due to the Su administration. Furthermore, Su abuse in this dose did not make any severe liver damage.

Published: September 2017

A obra Educação Popular e Docência está inserida na coleção Docência em Formação, integrando a série Educação de Jovens e Adultos. Pensar a educação popular na contemporaneidade significa reafirmar o sentido e o compromisso de uma educação para e com o povo latino-americano. Dessa forma, os autores da obra compreendem a educação popular como uma prática educativa e uma proposta pedagógica que está atravessada pela história latino-americana. Por ocupar este espaço, “se alimenta das lutas de resistência e da criatividade dos povos da América Latina e, por isso, valoriza os conhecimentos aqui produzidos” (STRECK et al. 2014, p. 22).
O livro inicia apresentando, como convite para aprofundamento, fontes teóricas entendidas como importantes para a construção da educação popular e que traçam características para a identidade desta prática. A discussão continua no questionamento sobre quem é o educador popular, permitindo pensar onde este sujeito está inserido e que comprometimento se revela diante do contexto social e da vida. Na sequência, problematiza-se de que maneira a educação popular está presente no espaço das políticas públicas e a relação desta prática educativa com a pesquisa, possibilitando reflexões e ferramentas que permitam o educador e a educadora a perceber a dimensão da pesquisa como parte da docência (STRECK et al. 2014, p. 24). É importante destacar que a contextualização histórica atravessa toda a obra. Os autores também se dedicam a pensar como se forma e quem forma o educador e a educadora e, por fim, qual a relação entre a educação popular e a educação de jovens e adultos.
