Perusahaan Syariah dan Pengungkapan Corporate Social Responsibility: Analisis Pengaruh Faktor Internal dan Karakteristik Perusahaan

The development of the shariah compliant companies provides an alternative option for stakeholders to invest in accordance with shariah principles. Disclosure of Islamic social reporting (ISR) is an important point for shariah company to demonstrate its performance to stakeholders and also the extent to which companies carry out activities in accordance with shariah. This study examines the factors that affect the disclosure of ISR on companies listed in the List of Islamic Securities (DES) in 2014. The variables are leverage, liquidity, supporting bank, women in board of commissioners and the educational background of the board of commissioners (BOC). This research is conducted using ISR index developed by Hanifa and Hudaib (2007), which consist of four dimensions and 59 items. Statistical tests find empirical evidence that liquidity and educational background of BOC have positive effect on ISR disclosure, leverage and women in BOC has negative effect while supporting banks have no effect on the disclosure of ISR

The effects of minimal tillage, contour cultivation and in-field vegetative barriers on soil erosion and phosphorus loss.

Runoff, sediment, total phosphorus and total dissolved phosphorus losses in overland flow were measured for two years on unbounded plots cropped with wheat and oats. Half of the field was cultivated with minimum tillage (shallow tillage with a tine cultivator) and half was conventionally ploughed. Within each cultivation treatment there were different treatment areas (TA). In the first year of the experiment, one TA was cultivated up and down the slope, one TA was cultivated on the contour, with a beetle bank acting as a vegetative barrier partway up the slope, and one had a mixed direction cultivation treatment, with cultivation and drilling conducted up and down the slope and all subsequent operations conducted on the contour. In the second year, this mixed treatment was replaced with contour cultivation. Results showed no significant reduction in runoff, sediment losses or total phosphorus losses from minimum tillage when compared to the conventional plough treatment, but there were increased losses of total dissolved phosphorus with minimum tillage. The mixed direction cultivation treatment increased surface runoff and losses of sediment and phosphorus. Increasing surface roughness with contour cultivation reduced surface runoff compared to up and down slope cultivation in both the plough and minimum tillage treatment areas, but this trend was not significant. Sediment and phosphorus losses in the contour cultivation treatment followed a very similar pattern to runoff. Combining contour cultivation with a vegetative barrier in the form of a beetle bank to reduce slope length resulted in a non-significant reduction in surface runoff, sediment and total phosphorus when compared to up and down-slope cultivation, but there was a clear trend towards reduced losses. However, the addition of a beetle bank did not provide a significant reduction in runoff, sediment losses or total phosphorus losses when compared to contour cultivation, suggesting only a marginal additional benefit. The economic implications for farmers of the different treatment options are investigated in order to assess their suitability for implementation at a field scale

Pembuatan Bioetanol dari Kulit Nanas dengan Metodeliquid State Fermentation (LSF) dengan Variasi Waktu dan Konsentrasi Inokulum

The world consumption of bioethanol for a variety of uses has increased very significantly in recent years. Pineapple skin is one of the potential materials to be processed into bioethanol. Availability of food waste material containing glucose as the skin is still fairly abundant pineapple and its utilization is limited only used for fertilizer and animal feed, so it is necessary for utilization of that adds value as well as a fairly high sugar content (13.65 % reducing sugar) makes the skin of pineapple has the potential to be processed into bioethanol. Through the process of fermentation using Zymomonas mobilis, glucose is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Preparation of starter inoculum carried by Zymomonas Mobilis process. Fermentation takes place in batches with a volume of 1 liter of fermentation medium, fermentation time variation of pH 5 2 , 4 , 6 and 8 days and inoculum concentration variation of 5 , 10 and 15 % (v / v). Stirring speed of 200 rpm and temperature of fermentation at room temperature (25o – 30oC). Bioethanol concentration was analyzed by using gas Chromathography Mass Spectroscopy. The process of optimum fermentation conditions shown in inoculum concentration of 10% v / v and 4 days fermentation time. The concentration of bioethanol obtained under these conditions is 43.10 % (v / v) or 23.75 g / ml

Interpersonal communication of parents and children early puberty about sex education in early puberty. Introduction: Sex education is an information about sexuality that encompasses many things, among others, relating to the reproductive organs, how to maintain the cleanliness and health. Sexuality related to the type of role identity, feelings of sexuality and how to function as a sexual being. Sex education is the teaching and guidance to the child in the child's stage of psychosexual development in order. Theory and Methods: This study uses the theory of interpersonal communication, symbolic interaction theory and qualitative research methods. Results: Interpersonal communication of parents and children is indispensable in providing information on sex education to children later survived and did not fall into sexual promiscuity and sexual abnormalities when they are growing up. Suggestion: Parents as first and foremost environment where children interact as an institution The oldest education should have sufficient qualities to provide sex education to children from an early age

Improving the mass determination of Galactic Cepheids

We have selected a sample of Galactic Cepheids for which accurate estimates of radii, distances, and photometric parameters are available. The comparison between their pulsation masses, based on new Period-Mass-Radius (PMR) relations, and their evolutionary masses, based on both optical and NIR Color-Magnitude (CM) diagrams, suggests that pulsation masses are on average of the order of 10% smaller than the evolutionary masses. Current pulsation masses show, at fixed radius, a strongly reduced dispersion when compared with values published in literature.The increased precision in the pulsation masses is due to the fact that our predicted PMR relations based on nonlinear, convective Cepheid models present smaller standard deviations than PMR relations based on linear models. At the same time, the empirical radii of our Cepheid sample are typically accurate at the 5% level. Our evolutionary mass determinations are based on stellar models constructed by neglecting the effect of mass-loss during the He burning phase. Therefore, the difference between pulsation and evolutionary masses could be intrinsic and does not necessarily imply a problem with either evolutionary and/or nonlinear pulsation models. The marginal evidence of a trend in the difference between evolutionary and pulsation masses when moving from short to long-period Cepheids is also briefly discussed. The main finding of our investigation is that the long-standing Cepheid mass discrepancy seems now resolved at the 10% level either if account for canonical or mild convective core overshooting evolutionary models.Comment: 14 pages, 4 postscript figures, accepted for publication on ApJ Letter

High-frequency monitoring of nitrogen and phosphorus response in three rural catchments to the end of the 2011–2012 drought in England

This paper uses high-frequency bankside measurements from three catchments selected as part of the UK government-funded Demonstration Test Catchments (DTC) project. We compare the hydrological and hydrochemical patterns during the water year 2011–2012 from the Wylye tributary of the River Avon with mixed land use, the Blackwater tributary of the River Wensum with arable land use and the Newby Beck tributary of the River Eden with grassland land use. The beginning of the hydrological year was unusually dry and all three catchments were in states of drought. A sudden change to a wet summer occurred in April 2012 when a heavy rainfall event affected all three catchments. The year-long time series and the individual storm responses captured by in situ nutrient measurements of nitrate and phosphorus (total phosphorus and total reactive phosphorus) concentrations at each site reveal different pollutant sources and pathways operating in each catchment. Large storm-induced nutrient transfers of nitrogen and or phosphorus to each stream were recorded at all three sites during the late April rainfall event. Hysteresis loops suggested transport-limited delivery of nitrate in the Blackwater and of total phosphorus in the Wylye and Newby Beck, which was thought to be exacerbated by the dry antecedent conditions prior to the storm. The high rate of nutrient transport in each system highlights the scale of the challenges faced by environmental managers when designing mitigation measures to reduce the flux of nutrients to rivers from diffuse agricultural sources. It also highlights the scale of the challenge in adapting to future extreme weather events under a changing climate
