The Implementation of Outsourcing System in Industrial Relation after the Constitutional Court Decision No. 27/PUU-IX/2011 in West Nusa Tenggara
Authors: Husni H. Lalu , Hamzah Any Suryani 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
The present study is an empirical legal research which was conducted at the companies in West Nusa Tenggara. The data were obtained through legal reasoning which is logical, systematic and coherent and were analyzed using descriptive-analytic. Based on the analysis, the result showed that the implementation of outsourcing system in industrial relation after the Constitutional Court decision No. 27/PPU-IX/2011 on private companies in West Nusa Tenggara has not been done properly. The companies which became object of the study have understood that after the Constitutional Court Decision No. 27/PPUIX/ 2011, labor contract on outsourcing system has changed from PKWT (perjanjian kerja waktu tertentu/ labor contract for specific time) to PKWTT (perjanjian kerja waktu tidak tertentu/ labor contract for an unspecified time). In other words, the principle of labor protective measure transfer at companies might happen in case the company implements PKWT. However, the Constitutional Court Decision No. 27/PUU/-IX/2011 which changed PKWT into PKWTT collides with Article 59 of Act No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower.

Published: May 2017

Abstract
Parallel to the consolidation of Business Model approach in different fields of Management, a delay is detected in its application to entrepreneurship education. These applications should conceivably be paralleled by a gradual adaptation of the methodological approaches, with educational establishments incorporating the business model focus and foundations and evaluating the results of its use. The current work aims to constitute an advance in this direction. The paper reports on the results-in terms of the improvement in enterprise potential-of an experiment testing two different pedagogical methodologies in entrepreneurship education on two groups of students studying for degrees in Building Engineering at a Spanish university: a classic methodology based on the development of a business plan, and a new one based on the business model. The results show that students assigned to the methodology based on the business model had a significantly higher level of enterprise potential.

Published: May 2017

Abstract
The present study aims to determine the pattern of education which is usually applied in orphanages, especially Ibnu Fatah Orphanage, Pengasih, Kulon Progo and to provide a model of entrepreneurial learning which becomes the basis of instilling the attitude of independence among santri at Ibnu Fatah to be developed as the curriculum in accordance with the rules of education in the orphanage. After designing the suitable curriculum, the implementation of skill and entrepreneur guidebook such as sewing clothes, digital printing and other skills is arranged as future provisions of Santri (students at Islamic boarding school or Islamic orphanages). The study implemented qualitative approach. Primary data were obtained from the questionnaires given to Santri who became the informant and were analyzed in descriptive statistics model. On the other hand, secondary data from the caregivers and the management of the orphanage were conducted with interviews, experimental and triangulation. There are four stages in conducting interactive descriptive analysis: 1) Data Collection; 2) Data Reduction; 3) Data Display; 4) Conclusions: Drawing/verifying. The results showed the caregivers, management, and Santri highly expect the skill and entrepreneurial education which can be directly applied to be the additional income in the orphanage with a request for help and the participation of several parties since the orphanage have limited infrastructure and human resources.

Authors: Makuyana Tsanangurai 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This paper analyses the new Microfinance Act [Chapter 24: 29] in order to reveal the shortcomings in the law and to suggest areas of possible improvement. The study was carried out using a purely desktop legal research method wherein a critical review of the piece of legislation was done against the theory surrounding microfinance business principles. The study concluded that the new Microfinance Act in Zimbabwe has a considerable number of shortcomings born out of both drafting loopholes and outright lack of thrust of principles promotive of the growth of the microfinance sector in the country.

Published: May 2017

Abstract
Internal determinants of bank profitability can be defined as those factors that are influenced by the bank’s management decisions and policy objectives. This paper is aimed to examine the internal factors that impact on commercial banks profitability in Indonesia. The factors reviewed in the model namely capital adequacy, credit risk (non-performing loan), liquidity (loans to deposit ratio), net interest margin and operating efficiency (operating expenses to operating income ratio). Using purposive sampling method, the analysis used thirty three commercial banks, with 168 observations for the period 2010 to 2015. Based on the Chow-test, the common effect model was preferred. The model is estimated using Ordinary Least Squares method. The results revealed that two hypotheses were not be accepted. There are no significant effects of capital adequacy and credit risk on profitability, but the model explains that there are significant effects of all explanatory variables toward commercial bank profitability. However, other important internal determinants of bank profitability still have not included in the model of this paper.

Authors: Fullani Ariana 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Albania has today transposed all directives relating to immigration and asylum presented by the EU and participates in the negotiations about new migration and asylum measures at the regional level. As it is well known, the right to family reunification is a key component of the core principles for respecting family life of migrants. In treating aliens, Albanian legislation does respect the principles of non-discrimination and equality before the law. The aim of this study is to show that Albanian legislation does guarantee the integration and family reunification of foreigners like other countries in the European Union.Actually this institute is regulated by Law No. 108/2013 ‘On Aliens’ adopted on 28 March 2013. The Law is considered to be fully compatible with the EU legislation. Even there are difficulties, in particular to judicial and administrative aspects offamily reunion, the legal position of family members is considered to be similar to the other foreigner in the same conditions. Legal positions of family members, who hold a permanent residence permit or a long term resident’s EC residence permits, or a permanent right of residence is stronger than thefamily members in short stay.

Abstract
Today, diabetes is a serious problem worldwide, as WHO predicts, in the year 2025, the population suffering from diabetes will be about 333 million adults (Norouzi, Ghafranipour, Heidarnia, Tahmasbi, 2010). Disease Management requires planning and problem solving capabilities which as a range of functions are categorized as executive functions. Executive functions are important structures playing a fundamental role in directing and normalizing behavior. Therefore, the study was designed with the goal of comparing and examining patients suffering from type 2 diabetes in contrast with healthy subjects. The study was conducted using a causative-comparative method in 2013-14 in Tehran. Research population were people referring to Gabric association of whom 36 volunteer patients with diabetes were chosen. The control group were chosen amongst patients’ companions with no disease records and were tested by WCST. Findings showed deficiencies in executive functions of patients with type 2 diabetes. Generally, we can say that these deficiencies can prevent proper disease management of type 2 diabetes.

Published: May 2017

Abstract
The study aims to empirically test the relationship between types of campus adaptations across gender engineering undergraduate B.Tech students alone pursuing a four year study at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT’s) and National Institute of Technology (NIT’s) in India. The independent t - test was run with SPSS vs 21 to determine the nature of campus adaptations of IIT’s and NIT’s between undergraduate male students (n = 1268) and female students of (n = 152) with the multistage random sample of n = 1420. There is a significant relationship on campus adaptations among students by gender indicating that; campus adaptations did vary which could be attributed to the lower strength of the sample size. However, if a qualitative approach is adopted with interviews held to seek out information on nature of adaptability to campus environments, it could introspect more in-depth on the nature and levels of adaptability of female students witnessing challenges at campuses of higher learning.

Abstract
This study examined the issues of socio-cultural factors as determinants of women’s attitude towards participation in trade unionism in Ondo State. The study adopted a descriptive research design of the survey type and a multi-stage sampling procedures. At stage one, purposive sampling technique was used to select five institutions out of the six government owned institutions in Ondo State. The one that was not selected was considered very young with no active labour union. Stage two involved the categorisation of staff in each institution into academic and non- academic using stratified sampling technique. Stage three involved the selection of fifty (50) respondents each from the institutions selected through random sampling technique making a total of five hundred (500) respondents as sample for the study. An instrument titled: ‘Women Participation in Trade Unionism Questionnaire (WPTUQ)’ designed by the researcher was used to collect data. The research questions were answered using descriptive statistics such as, frequency count, mean scores, percentages and standard deviations while hypotheses were tested using t-test and regression statistics as well as Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed significant relationship between socio-cultural variables such as marital factors, age related factors, economic factors and women’s participation in trade union activities. It was therefore recommended that women need to be encouraged to participate more actively in trade unionism. Also, religious institutions were advised to preach sermons in churches and mosques that would discourage gender bias. Also, women’s education should be taken as priority to enhance their active participation in trade unionism.

Published: May 2017

Abstract
One major problem confronting the definition of Comparative Literature is that of the involvement (on the one hand) of more than one literature under comparison and (on the other hand) that of the consideration of the multidimensional aspects of such literature, such as social, historical, linguistic, religious, economic and cultural aspects of divergent societies. This study is guided by the above factors in analyzing the concept of Racial Discrimination in Southern Africa and African American literatures in the sense that the former’s experiences were on African soil, while the latter’s were on the NewFound land (America). The paper observes that racial discrimination was much severe and oppressive without much resistance in America than in Southern Africa where Africans withstood and fought back against an unjust, wicked and oppressive system.
Visualisation of Written Culture with Digital Collage and Woman Representation: Visualisation of Woman Figure in the Mountain and Sea Themed Turkish Cypriot Legends
Authors: Gokasan Gurkan , Aygenc Erdal 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This study aimed to visualise the written versions of legends, which can transform the intangible culture as one of the significant parts of culture covering human facts and some habits like art, customs, traditions, into the tangible culture which is the other part of culture, through certain theme/s. Within this perspective, the study aimed to transform the women and discursive representation styles given in the Turkish Cypriot legends into visual representation in addition to creating an absolute language through the use of homogenous indicators. The study discussed the woman described with the ‘passive’, ‘oppressed’, ‘victim’ and ‘sinful’ features, in brief her marginalisation with the patriarchal legend structure through the use of semiotics. For the visualisation of legends, regardless the positive or negative consequence of woman, the ‘torn paper - collage with its popular name - texture was used to create a common language and the emotions to be reflected were symbolised with various colours. The content references of colours were taken into account; for instance, purple was used in the images that woman was downtrodden and blue in the images with the dominant male hegemony. Since the themes covered generally referred to the ‘mother nature’, the woman figures were illustrated as naked delivering the woman in her purest, simplest and most natural self without the social status indicators symbolised by the clothes. The main scene and woman figures, mountain and sea motifs in the selected legends were re-fictionalised in the digital environment and finalised with the illustration. As the effectiveness of pictorial elements in teaching and facilitating to remember the legends, as a cultural element within the main scope of this study is known, the legends were illustrated through the digital collage method. Therefore, the contribution was aimed to be reflected on the permanence and popularity of legends as a cultural product and verbal asset with the benefits of visual and artistic language.
Fair Value for Biological Assets: An Empirical Approach

Published: May 2017

Abstract
In view of the difficulty in adopting the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 41, which determines the measurement of biological assets, this study aimed at empirically approaching a fair-value based methodology to evaluate biological assets, without an active market. In order to meet the study proposal, a case study with a quantitative approach was carried out to assess a soybean crop cultivated in the Mato Grosso do Sul State. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) was the chosen evaluation method. Data collection was done through analysis of internal reports and semi-structured interviews. Few practical works detailing valuation of biological assets are available in the national and international literature; therefore, this is the main contribution of this work. Results suggest that besides using economic and accounting knowledge, it is advisable to consider agronomic knowledge since this type of information influences the valuation of biological assets in quantitative and qualitative terms. At the end, general comments and a research agenda are presented.

Published: May 2017

Abstract
The research objectives were to measure the concentration of progesterone and prolactin hormone and milk production of New Zealand White rabbit’s doe fed with moringa leaves meal. Blood sample was taken and centrifuged to separate serum and plasma. Then, the blood serum was analyzed applying ELISA method using ELISA kit EIA 1561 for progesterone hormone and rabbit prolactin ELISA kit cat no. E-EL-RB1223 for prolactin hormone. The milk production was measured daily by weighting the body weight of rabbit kids before and after milking. Data analysis using anova method applying program SPSS version 20 for windows. Moringa leaves meal fed tends to increase the concentration of progestrone hormone during pregnancy period and it decline sharply in post natal. The higher the level of moringa leaves meal, the higher the production of prolactin hormone at natal period. This fact doe to amino acids content of moringa leaf meal particularly essential amino acids. The main function of amino acid was in hormone and transmitter synthesis. Decrease of prolactin inhibitor and increase of prolactin secretion at natal period as an effect of amino acids content in moringa leaves meal. Increasing of prolactin level will followed by milk excretion. Increase of milk production caused by galactogogue effect of moringa leaves meal. The increasing of moringa leaves meal level influences milk production in milking period and produces a higher body weight at post weaning period comparing with without the moringa leaves meal. Using moringa leaves meal is suggested in order it increase livestock milk production in dry land areas to overcome kid’s mortality problem.

Published: May 2017

X-ray and laser diffraction methods were used to determine basic physical and chemical properties of conversion calcium carbonate. It was found that for obtaining standard product for use as a filler, it is necessary to regrind it. The results of dispersion changes in conversion chalk (chalk stone) were expressed in terms of median (D50), maximum (D98) and minimum (D10) particle size. It was established that during the grinding process a transition occurs from the initial odiomodal distribution to the bimodal distribution, which is characterized by a sufficiently wide range of the sizes of the particles of the crushed material. The optimum parameters of grinding were determined. With the help of SEM method, used before and after grinding of conversion calcium carbonate, it was established that the particles of primary material are represented by polycrystalline dense aggregates of spherical shape, due to mass crystallization of calcium carbonate at the condition of high supersaturation according to polynuclear growth mechanism. The component composition of water-soluble impurities was quantitatively estimated on the basis of the determination of the content of nitrate N-NO3- and ammonium N-NH4+ forms of nitrogen in various forms of presence-total, bound, water-soluble, and additional determination of the Ca2+ content of calcium ions in aqueous extract. It has been experimentally established that preliminary heat treatment of conversion calcium carbonate allows to significantly reduce the total content of water-soluble substances in the ground product by more than 5 times: at a temperature of 400 ° C, the degree of removal by NH4+ and NO3- ions is ~ 40-50%, and at 500 ° C - ~ 60% for NO3- and ~ 90% for NH4+. The estimation of the possibility of using the obtained product as a filler of polymer composite materials was done comparing the main parameters (CIELab (W and L) color characteristics, bulk density, dispersed composition, specific surface, pH of aqueous extract) with known finely ground natural chalk and microcalcite.

Neutral wind and density perturbations in the thermosphere created by gravity waves observed by the TIDDBIT sounder
Authors: Vadas Sharon L. , Crowley Geoff 
Published: May 2017

AbstractIn this paper, we study the 10 traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) observed at zobs∼283 km by the TIDDBIT ionospheric sounder on 30 October 2007 at 0400–0700 UT near Wallops Island, USA. These TIDs propagated northwest/northward and were previously found to be secondary gravity waves (GWs) from tropical storm Noel. An instrumented sounding rocket simultaneously measured a large neutral wind peak
with a similar azimuth at z ∼ 325 km. Using the measured TID amplitudes and wave vectors from the TIDDBIT system, together with ion‐neutral theory, GW dissipative polarization relations and ray tracing, we determine the GW neutral horizontal wind and density perturbations as a function of altitude from 220 to 380 km. We find that there is a serious discrepancy between the GW dissipative theory and the observations unless the molecular viscosity, μ, decreases with altitude in the middle to upper thermosphere. Assuming that

wind peak at z≃325 km if q ∼ 0.67 for z≥220 km. This implies that the kinematic viscosity,
, increases less rapidly with altitude for z≥220 km:
. This dependence makes sense because as

AbstractIn order to study the effect of the micro‐CT scan resolution and size on the accuracy of upscaled digital rock property estimation of core samples Bentheimer sandstone images with the resolution varying from 0.9 μm to 24 μm are used. We statistically show that the correlation length of the pore‐to‐matrix distribution can be reliably determined for the images with the resolution finer than 9 voxels per correlation length and the representative volume for this property is about 153 correlation length. Similar resolution values for the statistically representative volume are also valid for the estimation of the total porosity, specific surface area, mean curvature, and topology of the pore space. Only the total porosity and the number of isolated pores are stably recovered, whereas geometry and the topological measures of the pore space are strongly affected by the resolution change. We also simulate fluid flow in the pore space and estimate permeability and tortuosity of the sample. The results demonstrate that the representative volume for the transport property calculation should be greater than 50 correlation lengths of pore‐to‐matrix distribution. On the other hand, permeability estimation based on the statistical analysis of equivalent realizations shows some weak influence of the resolution on the transport properties. The reason for this might be that the characteristic scale of the particular physical processes may affect the result stronger than the model (image) scale.
