Busy commissioners and firm performance: evidence from Indonesia

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose Using the Indonesian setting where the government formally limits the presence of busy commissioners, the authors investigate whether a board containing busy commissioners could be beneficial or detrimental for firm performance. Design/methodology/approach The authors propose an econometric model focusing on the impact of busy commissioners on the firm's profitability. The authors are also interested in investigating whether the effect is different between small and large firms and between mature and non-mature firms. A sample of 392 Indonesian listed firms from 2014 to 2020 is used in this study. Findings The authors find a negative association between busyness and performance and this result is robust across different estimations and econometrics strategies. The authors also document that the negative impact of busy directors diminishes particularly in young and small firms. The authors also find that the impact is more pronounced in state-owned firms. Practical implications From a firm point of view, the result suggests that the companies should be aware that appointing busy commissioners in the board structure can detriment market-based performance. The listed firms should also understand that busy commissioners are inefficient, especially if these firms are large, mature and state-owned. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study investigating the relation between busy commissioners and performance by considering age, firm size and state-owned firms as a moderator in a sample of Indonesian listed firms.
Students speak: Academic, career, and sociocultural experiences of African American college students

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This manuscript presents the outcomes of a qualitative research investigation centered on the experiences of African American college students in terms of their preparation for high school, college, and careers within a Predominantly White Institution (PWI) situated in rural southeastern Wisconsin. At the time of this research, the comprehensive public university had an undergraduate enrollment of 10,196 students. Among these students, 82.1% self-identified as White, 7.8% as Hispanic or Latinx, 5.4% as African American, 3.2% as Asian or Southeast Asian, and 0.9% as American Indian or Alaskan Native. Using semi-structured interviews with willing student participants, the primary objectives of this study were twofold: (1) to recognize the sociocultural and institutional elements that influence the career trajectories of African American students attending the institution and (2) to effectively capture the educational and career viewpoints and voices of these students as they navigate the complex sociocultural and institutional landscape. Key findings from the research highlight the students’ perspectives on the substantial connections between their high school experiences, particularly those in and around a major urban center in the Midwest, and their subsequent college and career paths. Additionally, the study underscores the challenges these students encounter while navigating the physical and social spaces on a rural PWI campus. Recommendations are made for creating a more welcoming space for African American students and for supporting those engaged in the work.
Assessment of the Business Proposals Using Frank Aggregation Operators Based on Interval-Valued T-Spherical Fuzzy Information

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

An interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy set (IVTSFS) is an efficient framework to treat ambiguous and vague information more efficiently. It has four functions consisting of the information in intervals. With the help of these functions, IVTSFS is a more reliable framework than the other existing frameworks. This article aims to establish algebraic operations of IVTSFSs named Frank sum, Frank multiplication, and Frank scalar multiplication stranded on Frank t-norm and t-conorm. Further, some averaging and geometric aggregation operators (AOs), i.e., interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy Frank weighted averaging (IVTSFFWA) and interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy Frank weighted geometric (IVTSFFWG) operators are established based on the defined operations, and then the properties of these operators are observed. The proposed approach is supported by an illustrative example, in which we have applied our proposed approach to a multiattribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. For the significance of the proposed approach, a comparative study is done. The various effects of the variation of parameters are also investigated which plays an important role in the final results.
A Smart and Potential approach for Transdermal Drug Delivery using Microneedles: A Review

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Transdermal drug delivery system used to transport the drug across the skin deep into systemic circulation. The main advantages of Transdermal drug delivery system improved patient compliance, sustained release, avoidance of gastric irritation, as well as elimination of pre-systemic first-pass effect. But most of therapeutic agents is limited due to thickness of stratum corneum, which act as a barrier for the delivery of various drug molecules and only few molecules are able to reach the action site. Microneedles are the new form of delivery system, which are used to increase the delivery of drug through this route and overcoming the number of problems related to conventional drug delivery system the main aim of this review to focus on new innovation in transdermal drug delivery systems. In the microneedle drug delivery system, the skin is temporarily broken, that creating micron size pathways that deliver the sufficient amount of drug directly into the stratum corneum from which the drug can directly go into the systemic circulation. In this review, we describe different type of microneedles can be solid, coated, dissolving and biodegradable microneedles and their method of fabrication. Microneedles can be manufactured in different forms like hollow, solid, and dissolving. Also describe materials used for fabrication, fabrication techniques, methodology of drug delivery such as Poke and patch, Coat and poke, Poke and release, Poke and flow and evaluation parameters.
Contrasting Educator and Black Student Perspectives of the Special Education Placement Process: A DisCrit Counter-Narrative Analysis

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This critical qualitative inquiry employed a Disability Critical Race Studies Counter-Narrative framework (DCCN) to explore the contrast between educator and Black student understandings of the special education placement process and their implications. Interviews with 21 members of school personnel and 20 Black students between the ages of 14 and 18 were cross-referenced to narratively reconstruct the special education placement process in Quebec, Canada. Analysis of the results reveals a striking gap between educator and student understandings of the process, which can be linked to adverse student experiences. Subsequently, implications for enhancing educators’ knowledge of diverse learners and professional practices are discussed.
The Effect of Board Gender Diversity and Firm Size on Cash Holding of Manufacturing Companies: Evidence from Indonesia

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The company's cash holding is closely related to the company's efforts to minimize external funding costs. Companies that have large amounts of cash have the hope that each financing can first be financed with the company's internal funding sources, if not, then use external funding sources. The level of cash holding of a company can be influenced by various factors, including board gender diversity and firm size. This study aims to prove empirically how gender diversity in the board of directors can increase cash holding and also how company size can increase the value of cash holding. This research was assisted by the EViews 10 software program. The test results prove that gender diversity in the board of directors does not have a positive effect on cash holding, but the size of the company has a positive effect on cash holding.
Waqf-Based Social Micro Venture Fund: A Proposal for the Malay-Muslim Community in Singapore صندوق للتمويل الأصغر القائم على الوقف للمشاريع الاجتماعية: مقترح لمجتمع المسلم الماليزي في سنغافورة

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The institution of waqf in Singapore is limited from playing a broader developmental role in society, especially with respect to the ethnic Malay community who consistently underperformed when measured against key socio-economic indicators. It maintains a largely religious orientation, as evidenced by the launch of Wakaf Ilmu for Islamic education in 2012. As a way of reinvigorating its developmental role to be in sync with the current needs of the Malay community in Singapore, this paper proposed the establishment of a waqf-based social micro venture fund (WSMVF) that promotes inclusive financial development for micro-entrepreneurs. This would help strengthen the community’s economic status, amidst existing efforts on education, social and religious fronts. It reduces vulnerabilities of low-income families, strengthens their earning capability and promotes upward social mobility. This paper looked at charitable institutions which practice innovative and progressive forms of giving that the WSMVF could adopt. Resultantly, WSMVF is conceptualized based on the content analysis of cash waqf operations, profit and loss sharing modes and venture capital strategies. The organizational structure and operations of WSMVF bring new features into the present institution of waqf in Singapore, effectively expanding its role in the community. إن مؤسسة الوقف في سنغافورة تلعب دورا تنمويا محدود في المجتمع، وخاصة فيما يتعلق بالمجتمع المالاي الذي تدنى أدائه باستمرار مقارنة ببقية الجنسيات عندما ننظر إلى المؤشرات الاجتماعية والاقتصادية الرئيسية. وهو يحافظ على التوجه الديني إلى حد كبير، كما يتضح ذلك من إطلاق وقف علمو للتعليم الإسلامي في عام 2012. وكوسيلة لتنشيط دور الوقف التنموي ليكون متزامنا مع الاحتياجات الحالية للمجتمع الملايو في سنغافورة، تقترح هذه الورقة إنشاء صندوق للتمويل الأصغر القائم على الوقف للمشاريع الاجتماعية لتعزيز التنمية المالية الشاملة لأصحاب المشاريع الصغيرة. وهذا من شأنه تعزيز الوضع الاقتصادي للمجتمع، وسط الجهود القائمة على الجبهات التعليمية والاجتماعية والدينية. وسيقلل هذا الوقف من نقاط الضعف في الأسر ذات الدخل المنخفض، ويقوي قدراتهم على الكسب، ويعزز الحراك الاجتماعي الصاعد. وتدرس هذه الورقة بعض المؤسسات الخيرية التي تمارس أشكال مبتكرة ومتقدمة من الإعطاء والتي يمكن أن نستفيد منها في الصندوق المقترح. ونتج عن ذلك أن مفهوم الصندوق المقترح تم بنائه استنادا إلى تحليل المحتوى من عمليات الوقف النقدي، وصيغ تقاسم الأرباح والخسائر واستراتيجيات رأس المال الاستثماري. كذلك يقدم الهيكل التنظيمي والعملي للصندوق المقترح ميزات جديدة إلى المؤسسة الحالية للوقف في سنغافورة، وبالتالي توسع دورها في المجتمع.
OPERATIVE MORBIDITY IN PATIENTS WITH GASTROINTESTINAL DISEASE OVER 80 YEARS OF AGE

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A retrospective study was made of 110 aged patients over 80 years old operated on for gastrointestinal diseases to estimate operative morbidity and its relating factors. Among a total of 123 cases of GI diseases including 36 of gastric cancer, 32 of colorectal cancer, 28 of cholelithiasis, and 27 of others, 110 cases underwent operations which included 41 gastric, 38 colorectal, 32 pancreatico-biliary and 8 other procedures. Eighty two postoperative complications occurred in 54 cases (49%) which were composed of 20 circulatory complications, 18 delirium, 12 respiratory and 32 others. Circulatory morbidity was significantly lower in the cases received NLA anesthesia than that in other kinds of anesthesia. Postoperative delirium was seen more frequently in males and emergency operation cases, and respiratory morbidity was higher in both emergent and long operations. The 30-day operative mortality for all patients was only 2.7%, and the total hospital mortality was as low as 4.5%. These results suggest that, in the surgery for elderly patients and especially in the emergent situation, special care must be paid to shorten the duration of operation by employing a proper procedure and anesthesia.
Molecularly modified alkoxide precursors (MMAP) for thin film LiTaO3 and PbTiO3

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A novel, low temperature chemical synthesis route for the preparation of multicomponent ferroelectric ceramics thin films is presented. The central feature of this synthesis protocol is the process of transition alkoxide molecular modification, which results in the moisture tolerant metallorganic precursors. The precursors derived using this approach can then be used, along with inexpensive acetates of alkali/ alkaline earth metals, to prepare multi-cation and stoichiometric, precipitate-free and stable sols. Molecularly modified alkoxide precursors (MMAP) were used to prepare grain oriented thin (0.1–0.3 μm) films of single phase lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) and lead titanate (PbTiO3).

Understanding the impact of digital on performing arts: a systematic literature review proposal

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Digital technologies have profoundly changed the cultural and creative industries. Due to the intrinsic characteristics of the performing arts sector, this digital transition has had a later impact on it. However, it has accelerated since the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing organizations to digitally transform themselves to keep in touch with their audience(s). Now that this crisis is over, many strategic and operational questions still remain unanswered. This research proposes a systematic literature review in order to establish the state of the art of the research on digitalization of the performing arts sector and to highlight the main research avenues to be explored.

Development of a predictive power law relationship for polymer composites based on newtonial carrier concentrated slurries

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A new theory that predicts the power law “ n ” for Newtonian carrier particulate composites has been developed using percolation theory concepts. Many polymer composites, such as sheet molding compound, polyurethanes based on polymer‐polyols, and highly filled epoxy compounds, are generated using highly filled Newtonian carriers. Essentially, all of slurries that have a high concentration of filler become shear thinning at some shear rate. Several sizes of calcium carbonate were initially investigated because of their extensive use in many industries as fillers. A new function was found that linearly correlates the power law constant, n , to the concentration of the filler above the percolation concentration. The behavior of this function suggests that the Newtonian to power law behavior may be dominated by percolation processes. A new percolation theory based model was developed that theoretically predicted the power law from the volume of the nondissipating clusters. A theory is proposed that relates the plug volume in tube flow to the power law, n . The central plug in tube flow was experimentally shown to be a nondissipating volume in the flowing slurry. Data were taken in Poiseuille flow that correlates the power law, n , calculated in the classical manner using pressure drop along the tube with the power law, n , calculated from the percolation‐based theory.

Increasing nutritional value using alternative protein from sago worm in gluten-free biscuit products

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract This research aimed to study the nutritional value of sago worm ( Rhynchophorus Ferrugineus ) powder, evaluate quantity of protein supplementation derived from sago worm in gluten-free biscuit and determine the nutritional value of the gluten-free biscuit products supplemented with protein from sago worm. It was found that the nutritional value in sago worm powder consisting of carbohydrates (11.14%), protein (24.65%), fat (54.18 %), and ash (2.41%) based on total weight. Dietary fibre content was 6.61% and the total energy was 699.99 kilocalories/100 g. As regards physical and chemical properties, increase in inclusion of sago worm powder led to a decrease in moisture content and an increase in quantity of protein. Increasing the sago worm powder resulting to the colour of the biscuits became darker. The results showed that an increase in sago worm hardness and fracturability to decreased. Sensory evaluation using a 9-point hedonic scale showed that the gluten-free biscuit with 5% sago worm powder of the total weight had the highest score. In addition, the developed products contained moisture content, carbohydrate, fat, protein, dietary fibre and ash of 58.86, 32.56, 6.34, 6.61 and 1.02%. The energy value was found to 567.42 Kcal/100 g.
Improved radioimmunotherapy of hematologic malignancies. Final technical report

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Experiments were performed to study the rates of endocytosis, intracellular routing, and metabolic degradation of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies targeting tumor-associated antigens on human leukemia and lymphoma cells. An attempt was made to examine in vivo the effects of lysosomotropic amines and thioamides on the retention of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies by tumor cells. Experiments also examined the impact of newer radioiodination techniques on the metabolic degradation of radioiodinated antibodies, and on the radioimmunoscintigraphy and radioimmunotherapy of neoplasms. The endocytosis, intracellular routing, and degradation of radioimmunoconjugates prepared with I-131, In-111, and Y-90 were compared. The utility of radioimmunoconjugates targeting oncogene products for the radioimmunotherapy and radioimmunoscintigraphy of cancer was investigated.
Instruments and Methods: Direct measurement of sliding at the glacier bed

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Sliding at the base of Trapridge Glacier, Yukon Territory, Canada, was measured using a “drag spool”. We describe this simple and inexpensive instrument as well as its installation and operation. From 1990 to 1992 seven sites were instrumented with drag spools. At six of the sites basal sliding, during the period of observation, accounted for 50-70% of the total flow observed at the glacier surface. The contribution from ice creep is known to be small, so most of the remaining surface motion must be attributed to subglacial sediment deformation. For the seventh site the observed sliding rate was ~ 90% of the total flow, an indication that the sliding contribution varies spatially across the bed. Diurnal variations in the response of one of our instruments appear to be correlated to subglacial water-pressure fluctuations and are interpreted in terms of changes in sliding velocity rather than the opening and closing of basal cavities.
