Kejelasan Sasaran Anggaran dan Sistim Pengendalian Akuntansi terhadap Kinerja Manajerial dengan Motivasi sebagai Variabel Moderating

The aims of the research are to investigate and analyze 1) the effect of the clarity budget goal on the managerial performance of local government, 2) the effect of accounting control system on the managerial performance of local government, 3) the simultaneous effect of the clarity of budget goal, accounting control system, and work motivation on managerial performance, 4) the effect of motivation as the moderating variable that makes the correlation between the clarity of budget goal and accounting control system strong on the managerial performance of local government. The population of the research were the officials who were budget providers and users and responsible for accounting control system. The sample consisted of 102 people and the data were analyzed using moderating regression analysis. The results of the research indicate that 1) the clarity of budget goal has effect on the managerial performance of local government, 2) accounting control system has affect on the managerial performance of local government, 3) the clarity of budget goal, accounting control system, and work motivation simultaneously have affect on the managerial performance of local government, 4) work motivation can become moderating variable affecting the clarity of budget goal on the managerial performance of local government. Work motivation can not become effect moderating variable of accounting control system on the managerial performance of local government (an empirical study at SKPD of Merauke Regency)

Synthesis and characterization of molybdena and phosphate doped silica-titania oxidative catalyst for epoxidation of styrene

New oxidative catalysts of molybdena and phosphate doped silica-titania (xMo/PO4 3-/ SiO2-TiO2, x = 0, 1, 2, 4 and 5 wt%) have been prepared in this study. Silica-titania was prepared via sol-gel method by using titanium isopropoxide and tetraethyl orthosilicate as precursors of titania and silica, respectively. Sufficient amount of ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate and 0.2 M phosphoric acid were loaded on silica-titania through impregnation method. The XRD results confirmed the amorphous phase of all the samples Mo/PO4 3-/ SiO2-TiO2, indicating well dispersion of Mo, phosphate and Ti on the silica support. DRUV-Vis analysis revealed the existence of both tetrahedral and octahedral Ti species in the samples. The N2 adsorption surface area analysis showed the surface area decreased with the increasing amount of doped molybdenum. The oxidation catalytic behavior of xMo/PO4 3-/SiO2-TiO2 was evaluated through epoxidation of styrene using H2O2 as oxidant. Amongst, 5Mo/PO4 3-/ SiO2- TiO2was the best oxidative catalyst which gave the highest conversion of styrene and the highest yield of styrene oxide

Arti lambang dan fungsi tata rias tradisional pengantin daerah Nusa Tenggara Timur

Dengan menelaah berbagai masalah di atas maka terasa betapa pentingnya untuk diadakan inventarisasi dan Dokumentasi tata rias pengantin daerah yang dikenal oleh masyarakat di seluruh pelosok Nusantara, khususnya tata pengantin daerah dari suku-suku bangsa di Propinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur. Dalam penulisan ini ditetapkan 5 kelompok etnis untuk mewakili kelompok-kelompok etnis yang ada di Nusa Tenggara Timur. Kelima kelompok etnis/suku bangsa tersebut masing-masing: Suku bangsa Tetun di Kabupaten Belu (Timor), suku bangsa Lama holot di Kabupaten F1ores Timur, suku bangsa Sumba di pulau Sumba (Kabupaten Sumba Timur), suku bangsa Dawan di Kabupaten Timor Tengah Utara dan suku bangsa Sikka di Kabupaten Sikka, (Flores). Dalam hal tata rias pengantin kelima kelompok etnis tersebut masihjuga memperlihatkan/mempertahankan tata rias pengantin yang bercorak tradisional terutama dalam hubungan dengan tata cara perkawinan adat bagi masing- masing daerah. Di samping itu mulai nampak pula gejala atau kecenderungan dalam pemakaian tata rias modem. Hal ini adalah sebagai akibat dari pengaruh perkembangan kebudayaan modern sehingga membawa pula dampak bagi pegeseran nilai budaya

One-electron oxidation and reduction of glycosaminoglycan chloramides: a kinetic study.

Hypochlorous acid and its acid-base counterpart, hypochlorite ions, produced under inflammatory conditions, may produce chloramides of glycosaminoglycans, these being significant components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). This may occur through the binding of myeloperoxidase directly to the glycosaminoglycans. The N-Cl group in the chloramides is a potential selective target for both reducing and oxidizing radicals, leading possibly to more efficient and damaging fragmentation of these biopolymers relative to the parent glycosaminoglycans. In this study, the fast reaction techniques of pulse radiolysis and nanosecond laser flash photolysis have been used to generate both oxidizing and reducing radicals to react with the chloramides of hyaluronan (HACl) and heparin (HepCl). The strong reducing formate radicals and hydrated electrons were found to react rapidly with both HACl and HepCl with rate constants of 1-1.7 x 108 and 0.7-1.2 x 108 M-1 s-1 for formate radicals and 2.2 x 109 and 7.2 x 10 8 M-1 s-1 for hydrated electrons, respectively. The spectral characteristics of the products of these reactions were identical and were consistent with initial attack at the N-Cl groups, followed by elimination of chloride ions to produce nitrogen-centered radicals, which rearrange subsequently and rapidly to produce C-2 radicals on the glucosamine moiety, supporting an earlier EPR study by M.D. Rees et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125: 13719-13733; 2003). The oxidizing hydroxyl radicals also reacted rapidly with HACl and HepCl with rate constants of 2.2 x 108 and 1.6 x 108 M-1 s-1, with no evidence from these data for any degree of selective attack on the N-Cl group relative to the N-H groups and other sites of attack. The carbonate anion radicals were much slower with HACl and HepCl than hydroxyl radicals (1.0 x 105 and 8.0 x 10 4 M-1 s-1, respectively) but significantly faster than with the parent molecules (3.5 x 104 and 5.0 x 10 4 M-1 s-1, respectively). These findings suggest that these potential in vivo radicals may react in a site-specific manner with the N-Cl group in the glycosaminoglycan chloramides of the ECM, possibly to produce more efficient fragmentation. This is the first study therefore to conclusively demonstrate that reducing radicals react rapidly with glycosaminoglycan chloramides in a site-specific attack at the N-Cl group, probably to produce a 100% efficient biopolymer fragmentation process. Although less reactive, carbonate radicals, which may be produced in vivo via reactions of peroxynitrite with serum levels of carbon dioxide, also appear to react in a highly site-specific manner at the N-Cl group. It is not yet known if such site-specific attacks by this important in vivo species lead to a more efficient fragmentation of the biopolymers than would be expected for attack by the stronger oxidizing species, the hydroxyl radical. It is clear, however, that the N-Cl group formed under inflammatory conditions in the extracellular matrix does present a more likely target for both reactive oxygen species and reducing species than the N-H groups in the parent glycosaminoglycans. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
