Tren Pengungkapan Intellectual Capital Industri Perbankan: Sebuah Bukti Empiris Di Indonesia

The purposes of this research were to analyze the intellectual capital disclosure's volume of banking industriesin Indonesia and to provide additional empirical evidence of variations in IC disclosure that included internalcapital, external capital and human capital in the banking companies in Indonesia. This research used trendleast square method to analyze intellectual capital disclosure trends. Furthermore, One Way Anova test wasused to determine if there was difference in the volume of internal capital disclosure, external capital andhuman capital. The result of this study showed that there was an increase in intellectual capital disclosuretrends, although not as a whole. One of the total sample showed the decrease in intellectual capital disclosuretrend. There was no difference in the volume of disclosure of the three categories in intellectual capital. This wasbecause the IC was still a voluntary disclosure and there were government regulations that indirectly encouragedcompanies to disclose IC such as taxation and labor laws

A survey on hospitalised community-acquired pneumonia in Italy.

Background and aim. Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) remains a major cause of disease and death. We evaluated the levels of care, the outcome and the characteristics of hospitalised patients with CAP in a primary hospital in Italy. We also investigated the value of both the Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) and the modified Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (AEP) for recognising both the outcome and the unnecessary admissions and stay of hospitalised patients with CAP. Methods. A retrospective review of all the charts of adult patients with CAP at Manerbio, Brescia, Italy between January 2001 and December 2002 was performed. Results. We evaluated 148 patients; their mean age (±SD) was 70 (±17) years; 34% were female. Most patients (87%) had at least a concomitant co-morbid disease. The overall survival rate at 30 days was 88%. All but one death occurred in the high-risk group of patients according to the PSI. On the contrary, the death rate of patients with inappropriate hospital admission according to the AEP was high. Patients with high PSI score had a significantly longer hospital length of stay than the low-risk group. However, a substantial part of the hospital stay did not show any justification into the charts. Conclusions. The PSI, but not the AEP, upon hospital admission, was useful for evaluating the outcome of patients with CAP. The PSI score and the modified AEP can be useful for assessing the appropriateness of hospitalisation for patients with CAP. There is the need for a practical and validated tool to support physicians in their decision making regarding the early and safe discharge of hospitalised patients with CAP

Agrobacterium rhizogenes rolB gene affects photosynthesis and chlorophyll content in transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants

Insertion of Agrobacterium rhizogenes rolB gene into plant genome affects plant development, hormone balance and defence. However, beside the current research, the overall transcriptional response and gene expression of rolB as a modulator in plant is unknown. Transformed rolB tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivar Tondino has been used to investigate the differential expression profile. Tomato is a well-known model organism both at the genetic and molecular level, and one of the most important commercial food crops in the world. Through the construction and characterization of a cDNA subtracted library, we have investigated the differential gene expression between transgenic clones of rolB and control tomato and have evaluated genes specifically transcribed in transgenic rolB plants. Among the selected genes, five genes encoding for chlorophyll a/b binding protein, carbonic anhydrase, cytochrome b6/f complex Fe-S subunit, potassium efflux antiporter 3, and chloroplast small heat-shock protein, all involved in chloroplast function, were identified. Measurement of photosynthesis efficiency by the level of three different photosynthetic parameters (Fv/Fm, rETR, NPQ) showed rolB significant increase in non-photochemical quenching and a, b chlorophyll content. Our results point to highlight the role of rolB on plant fitness by improving photosynthesis

Viability Tests On The Seeds Of Rafflesia Arnoldii R.br. And R. Patma Blume

Rafflesia is a holoparasite that is facing extinction in nature. The Center for Plant Conservation Bogor Botanic Gardens LIPI has been pioneering ex situ conservation using grafting methods. However, ex situ conservation using seed innoculation has been a challenge. Studies on the viability testing of Rafflesia seeds aims to provide viable seeds for supporting the ex situ conservation programs based on seed innoculation methods. In particular, the aims of our recent research were: (1) to investigate the morphological characters of the seeds; (2) to determine a method for viability testing the seeds. The seeds of R. arnoldii and R. patma were used in this research. Firstly, the morphological characters of the seeds were observed under a binocular microscope. The viability test using bioassay procedures was as follows: (1) reagent preparation; (2) pre-staining; (3) embryo exposure; (4) staining, and (5) assessment. The research resulted in: (1) morphological description of the characteristics of Rafflesia seeds, and (2) techniques for bioassay viability testing of Rafflesia seeds

Validation of rainfall estimation derived from commercial DVB received signal with disdrometer, rain gauges and ground based radar

An accurate measurement and monitoring of precipitation events is closely linked with different applications that have an impact on human welfare such as water resources management, and floods, landslides or wildfire risk assessments. Currently rain gauges, disdrometers, ground-based weather radars and satellite sensors (both active and passive) can be considered the conventional devices for precipitation measurements that are worldwide adopted. These devices have different measurement principles, time and space resolution, and accuracy (Gebremichael and Testik, 2013). In the last decade, a new technology that exploits the microwave satellite links has been investigated to retrieve precipitation information. The idea is to estimate the precipitation starting from the attenuation of the signal along its propagation path. Few studies have been carried out in this direction (such as Barthès and Mallet, 2013 and Mercier et al., 2015), showing promising results. In that regards, recently, an Italian project called NEFOCAST, funded by Tuscany Region (Italy), has been carried out with the aim of estimating rainfall rate from attenuation measurements made available by commercial interactive digital video broadcasting (DVB) receivers, called smartLNBs. During the NEFOCAST project, an ad hoc rainfall retrieval algorithm has been developed, tuned and tested. It allows to estimate, with 1-minute rate, the instantaneous rainfall rate (R, in mm/h) from the ratio η = Es/N0 between the received energy-per-symbol Es and the one-sided power spectral density of the additive white Gaussian noise N0, (Giannetti et al. 2017). To validate the algorithm, a 1-year field campaign (from January 2018 to January 2019) was conducted. The collected data allow to compare the SmartLNB precipitation estimates with the measurements gathered by ‘conventional’ meteorological devices such as rain gauges, weather radar and disdrometer. A network of 24 smartLNBs was deployed in Tuscany, along with 11 rain gauges and one X-band dual-polarization weather radar. Furthermore, the performance of the NEFOCAST algorithm has been preliminarily tested by comparing data provided from one SmartLNB installed at the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (ISAC) of CNR in Rome (Italy) with a co-located laser disdrometer. For this site, data from a dual polarization C-band weather radar (Polar55C) could be compared with SmartLNB measurements along the Earth-satellite link. In fact, during the project the Polar55C has been aimed in the same direction as the SmartLNB, with the same elevation angle, thus scanning the same portion of atmosphere where the SmartLNB signal was propagating. Preliminary results show a good agreement between the total cumulative precipitation (in mm) obtained from SmartLNB data and the one collected by the co-located disdrometer during different rainfall events. The corresponding values of Normalized Mean Absolute Error (NMAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) obtained comparing the total cumulative precipitations obtained from SmartLNB and disdrometer are 41% and 4.71 mm, respectively. Encouraging results come also from the comparison of the total precipitation amounts as measured by the network of SmartLNBs and rain gauges, with values of NMAE (RMSE) that range between 39% and 53% (2.8 mm and 8.0 mm), depending on the specific site
