Analisis Profitabilitas, Firm Size Dan Struktur Kepemilikan Saham Terhadap Intellectual Capital Disclosure Dan Dampaknya Terhadap Nilai Perusahaan Pada Sektor Makanan Dan Minuman Tahun 2010-2015

This research aims to analyze the effect of profitability, firm size and shareholding structure on intellectual capital disclosure and its impact on company value in food and beverage sub-sector listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange. The sample in this research is food and beverage sub-sector companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange period 2010-2015 period. By using purposive sampling method, obtained as many as 11 companies determined as sample research. Statistical test is done by using regression test of panel data of random effect model. The research method used is quantitative descriptive by doing the activity of collecting secondary data from annual report of company. The results showed that simultaneously, profitability, firm size and share ownership have significant effect on intellectual capital disclosure. Partially, firm size variables significantly influence intellectual capital disclosure but profitability and share ownership have no significant effect on intellectual capital disclosure. While intellectual capital disclosure has a significant effect on company valu

University Baccalaureate curriculum analysis for safety and health in the United States of America (USA) toward a model University Baccalaureate curriculum

The goal of this research was to determine a model safety and health baccalaureate curriculum. A secondary target was to ascertain if safety and health practitioners and safety and health educators would concur on course offerings. To simplify this study effort, a search of literature was conducted on the Occupational Safety and Health field. There were no in-depth studies of this type for such a general population; therefore no instrument was available for this study. The perusal of literature indicated that most such studies had been conducted using a more specific target group of subjects. That is, faculties or former students of a particular university, one was completed on only certified safety professionals (CSP), or members of the National Safety Managers Society (NSMS) and the like. This study included most geographical areas of the United States of America and thus faculties and former students from many universities. First, it was necessary to determine the competency required for a successful career in Occupational Safety and Health. Second, devise a survey instrument to collect the competency information to function well in his area and essential to the development of a curricula questionnaire. Directories used to select expert subjects to serve as judges for this research included the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), National Safety Council, Business and Industry Division (NSC/B&I), and the World Safety Organisation (WSO). Since the Delphi technique was being used, a pilot study was employed to collect information from a selected group of practitioners and educators. This information served as the basis for creating a survey instrument that was mailed to 489 health and safety practitioners and educators. A total of 355 or 72 per cent of the surveys were returned. Eighteen surveys were undelivered for various reasons, with a total of 337 usable surveys, of this population list responding to the survey ranking the importance of the courses. The data from the returned surveys were analyzed by several different methods suggesting: (I) There was a preference for certain core, elective and preparatory courses. (2) There were some significant differences of the responding safety practitioners and safety educators. (3) There was no evidence of non-respondent bias for the total group; however, considering only the safety practitioners there was some evidence of regional bias. These analyses facilitated the recommendations that certain course offerings be required for: (1) a core curricula, (2) particular preparatory courses and (3) a choice from several electives course listings

JPL Electronic Nose

The JPL Electronic Nose (ENose) is a full-time, continuously operating event monitor designed to detect air contamination from spills and leaks in the crew habitat in the International Space Station. It fills the long-standing gap between onboard alarms and complex analytical instruments. ENose provides rapid, early identification and quantification of atmospheric changes caused by chemical species to which it has been trained. ENose can also be used to monitor cleanup processes after a leak or a spill

Nonoperative Management of Shoulder Instability

Non-operative management following a shoulder dislocation or subluxation remains a challenging and complex task. Accurate diagnosis of the condition, and shared decision-making regarding operative and non-operative management, as well as timing of return to play is required. This clinical concept paper introduces a shoulder instability framework that addresses these fundamental clinical dilemmas. Valid clinical prognostic tools which can predict recurrent shoulder instability are reviewed. The process of shared decision-making within the realm of shoulder instability is also presented. Finally, a framework for progressive rehabilitation that addresses deficits in motor control, strength, and endurance in scapula and shoulder musculature is presented to guide patients from an initial instability event, through to return to play

Bacteria Use Type IV Pili to Walk Upright and Detach from Surfaces

Knowing how free-swimming bacteria adapt their motility mechanisms near surfaces is crucial for understanding the transition between planktonic and biofilm phenotypes. By translating microscopy movies into searchable databases of bacterial behavior, we identified fundamental type IV pili–driven mechanisms for Pseudomonas aeruginosa surface motility involved in distinct foraging strategies. Bacteria stood upright and “walked” with trajectories optimized for two-dimensional surface exploration. Vertical orientation facilitated surface detachment and could influence biofilm morphology.Center for Nonlinear Dynamic

Gender Differences In Responses To Hypothetical Business Ethical Dilemmas By Business Undergraduates

Business leaders are often failing to display ethical behavior in business decisions. This paper examines the gender differences found in undergraduate business students when faced with ethical decision making dilemmas

Detection of Carbon Monoxide Using Polymer-Carbon Composite Films

A carbon monoxide (CO) sensor was developed that can be incorporated into an existing sensing array architecture. The CO sensor is a low-power chemiresistor that operates at room temperature, and the sensor fabrication techniques are compatible with ceramic substrates. Sensors made from four different polymers were tested: poly (4-vinylpryridine), ethylene-propylene-diene-terpolymer, polyepichlorohydrin, and polyethylene oxide (PEO). The carbon black used for the composite films was Black Pearls 2000, a furnace black made by the Cabot Corporation. Polymers and carbon black were used as received. In fact, only two of these sensors showed a good response to CO. The poly (4-vinylpryridine) sensor is noisy, but it does respond to the CO above 200 ppm. The polyepichlorohydrin sensor is less noisy and shows good response down to 100 ppm

Identity and Coping: Deaf Sign Language Interpreters and Secondary Traumatic Stress

This article describes the results of a mixed methods study with 47 Deaf sign language interpreters (D-SLIs) and their experiences with secondary traumatic stress (STS). By replicating AUTHOR AND AUTHOR (2020) research, this study contributes data based on the unique experiences of Canadian and American Deaf interpreters and allows us to contrast the findings to the original study with non-Deaf interpreters (ND-SLIs). The findings reveal that the majority of D-SLIs did not experience clinical levels of STS, compassion satisfaction, anxiety, or burnout. In looking at the results, one-third of the D-SLIs showed comparable levels of STS and compassion satisfaction but less burnout than the ND-SLIs. Recommendations are identified, including the need to offer secondary traumatic stress specific training for all SLIs. The study has implications for all sign language interpreters and interpreter educators in designing educational programs and professional development
