The Diversity of Fisheries Based Livelihoods in the Berau Delta, East Kalimantan

Fisheries based livelihoods in the Berau Delta are diverse. The everyday life of small-scale fishers shows that gear diversification, changing fishing gear over a lifetime and practical knowledge to access good fishing grounds in the rich coastal waters are the main livelihood strategies developed by fishers. Fishing practices in the coastal frontier of Berau are influenced by the Bugis habitus of patronage networks between the punggawa and the dependent fishers. An essential element in the decision making of fishers is their embeddedness in political-economic patronage networks as the result of values, interests and knowledge contestations. Livelihood trajectories of different fishers from various classes confirm that as social actors, whether rich or poor, they have the agency to search for better livelihoods

Suns-VOC_\textrm{OC} characteristics of high performance kesterite solar cells

Low open circuit voltage ($V_{OC}$) has been recognized as the number one problem in the current generation of Cu$_{2}$ZnSn(Se,S)$_{4}$ (CZTSSe) solar cells. We report high light intensity and low temperature Suns-$V_{OC}$ measurement in high performance CZTSSe devices. The Suns-$V_{OC}$ curves exhibit bending at high light intensity, which points to several prospective $V_{OC}$ limiting mechanisms that could impact the $V_{OC}$, even at 1 sun for lower performing samples. These V$_{OC}$ limiting mechanisms include low bulk conductivity (because of low hole density or low mobility), bulk or interface defects including tail states, and a non-ohmic back contact for low carrier density CZTSSe. The non-ohmic back contact problem can be detected by Suns-$V_{OC}$ measurements with different monochromatic illumination. These limiting factors may also contribute to an artificially lower $J_{SC}$-$V_{OC}$ diode ideality factor.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures, 1 supplementary materia

Ownership Retention, Auditor'sreputation, Company's Profit, And The Underpricing On Value Of The Firm With Managerial And Institutional Ownership AS Moderating Variable

This research aims to examine the effect of ownership retention (OR), auditor's reputation,company's profi t and underpricing on the value of the fi rm after an initial public offering and themoderating effect of managerial ownership and institutional ownership variables on the relationshipbetween the proportion of retained ownership with value of the fi rm after the initial public offering.The samples of this research were 60 companies that run IPO (Initial Public Offering) and are listed inIndonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2008 to 2011. The research samples used purposive samplingmethod.The data used in this research are secondary data which consist of prospectus fi nancial report,fact book, and other supporting references. The hypothesis test used multiple regression analysis.Theresult of this research shows that: the proportion of shares ownership that is still owned by old ownersand auditor's reputation has a positive effect to the company's value after an initial public offering.Managerial and institutional ownership do not moderate the relationship between the proportions ofshares ownership which are still owned by old owners with the company's value after an initial publicoffering

Effectiveness of Ketepeng (Cassia Alata L.) and Small Ketepeng (Cassia Tora L.) Ethanol Extract on Plasmodium Falciparum in Vitro

Tanaman Ketepeng (Cassia alata L.) dan Ketepeng Kecil (Cassia tora L.) merupakan tanaman obat yang memiliki berbagaimacam kegunaan, diantaranya untuk mengobati malaria yang disebabkan oleh Plasmodium falciparum. Penelitian inibertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas ekstrak etanol daun ketepeng dan ketepeng kecil terhadap P. falcifarum secara invitro yang dihubungkan dengan periode waktu dengan pengenceran bertingkat dari larutan uji. Penelitian dilakukan dengantahapan: pengambilan sampel tanaman, pembuatan ekstrak dan uji aktivitas anti malaria secara in vitro. Kontrol positifmenggunakan klorokuin dan kontrol negatif menggunakan P. falciparum tanpa penambahan ekstrak uji. Ekstrak etanol daunketepeng (Cassia alata L) menunjukkan penurunan jumlah pertumbuhan P. falciparum pada pengenceran 10-8. Ekstraketanol daun ketepeng dan ketepeng kecil tidak menunjukkan penghambatan pertumbuhan terhadap P. falciparum

Pengaruh Laba Konservatisma terhadap Return Saham: Size dan Growth sebagai Variabel Moderating (Studi Empiris di Bursa Efek Indonesia)

This study aimed to test the effect of earnings conservatism of the company stock return moderated by variable size and growth. Using a purposive sampling method, the subjects in this study is that there is a manufacturing company in Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) of 888 companies. The data comes from the manufacturing company´s financial statements and the Indonesian Capital Market Directory (ICMD) for fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 until December 31, 2006 using regression analysis. The results showed that: first, the slope of the regression coefficient of return higher profits for companies with negative returns (bad news) than for firms with positive returns (good news), which means that the average manufacturing firm´s profit is conservative. Second, the Company and the Price to Book Ratio (P / B) tend to have low profit, conservative. Third, the moderating influence of size and growth to strengthen earnings conservatism of the company stock return. Key Words: conservatism, Size, Growt
