STRATEGI DAN KINERJA PERUSAHAAN: ANALISIS MODERASI GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
This study aims to see the effect of strategy on company performance with Good Corporate Governance as a moderating variable. It is using data collected from the Indonesian Stock Exchange data from 2015 - 2017. Using a method that already uses Jeremias and Ghani 2005 as a strategic measure, ROE is used to measure performance, and Good Corporate Governance using the Board of Commissioners meetings as a measure. This study aims to find information on whether the strategy made will improve the company's performance and the function of its control tools in carrying out the strategy made. The result of this study is that strategy has a positive influence of 3,809 on company performance where the significant level is 0,000 which means that the first hypothesis is accepted, with the result that strategy has a positive effect on company performance. Likewise the results of the second hypothesis where the impact of Good Corporate Governance on the relationship between strategy and company performance is positive 3,847 where this figure is greater than the direct positive relationship of 3,809 which means that the second hypothesis is accepted that good corporate governance strengthens the relationship between strategy and company performance as a whole significant
The juxtaposition of rights and responsibilities: children’s experiences and perceptions
Rights and responsibilities are enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa but are disregarded in many ways in the education of young children. This article focuses on comparing the experiences and perceptions of Grade 3 children of their rights and responsibilities across diverse school settings. The comparison of data sets highlighted reciprocity in children’s experiences and showed challenges and gaps in children’s education of rights and responsibilities. This research was qualitative in nature, using a multiple case study design with ninety-six (n=96) participating children. Data gathering occurred through interviews, observation, documents, field notes and visual artefacts made by the participating children. The findings were that education firstly advances children’s understanding and knowledge of their rights and responsibilities. Secondly, basic needs of children have a significant effect on their understanding of their rights and responsibilities with the emphasis on rights. Children’s perceptions of their rights and responsibilities were juxtaposed to assist in finding similarities and differences in their perceptions. Thirdly, the participant children understood that people have needs and rights; they communicated that these rights must be recognised to safeguard a sustainable standard of life
Semi-device-independent certification of quantum non-Markovianity using sequential Random Access Codes
The characterization of multi-time correlations in open quantum systems is of
fundamental importance. In this work, we investigate multi-time processes using
the process matrix formalism and show that the presence of a quantum
non-Markovian environment plays a significant role in enhancing the
communication capacity in sequential prepare-transform-measure Quantum Random
Access Codes (QRAC). The correlated environment enables a quantum advantage to
multiple parties, even with projective measurements. In particular, we show
that the Markovian and classical non-Markovian processes, i.e. quantum
processes with classical feedback from the environment, do not yield sequential
quantum advantage. In contrast, it is possible to achieve an advantage in the
presence of a quantum non-Markovian environment. Therefore this approach allows
a semi-device-independent certification of quantum non-Markovianity. As opposed
to entanglement-detection criteria which require the knowledge of the complete
process, this method allows to certify the presence of a quantum non-Markovian
environment from the observed measurement statistics. Moreover, quantum memory
ameliorates the unambiguous certifiable region of unsharp instruments in a
semi-device-independent manner.Comment: 16 Pages, 9 figure
Exploring Gender-Based Toxic Speech on Twitter in Context of the #MeToo movement: A Mixed Methods Approach
The #MeToo movement has catalyzed widespread public discourse surrounding
sexual harassment and assault, empowering survivors to share their stories and
holding perpetrators accountable. While the movement has had a substantial and
largely positive influence, this study aims to examine the potential negative
consequences in the form of increased hostility against women and men on the
social media platform Twitter. By analyzing tweets shared between October 2017
and January 2020 by more than 47.1k individuals who had either disclosed their
own sexual abuse experiences on Twitter or engaged in discussions about the
movement, we identify the overall increase in gender-based hostility towards
both women and men since the start of the movement. We also monitor 16 pivotal
real-life events that shaped the #MeToo movement to identify how these events
may have amplified negative discussions targeting the opposite gender on
Twitter. Furthermore, we conduct a thematic content analysis of a subset of
gender-based hostile tweets, which helps us identify recurring themes and
underlying motivations driving the expressions of anger and resentment from
both men and women concerning the #MeToo movement. This study highlights the
need for a nuanced understanding of the impact of social movements on online
discourse and underscores the importance of addressing gender-based hostility

Using Metacognitive Training with Kinesiology Students
As future healthcare practitioners, kinesiology students must become expert learners who choose strategies resulting in deep and durable learning. Metacognitive instruction goes beyond the use of study skills as it focuses on student reflection and evaluation of their learning success, and ultimately establishes effective learning skills, a requirement for professional practice. To examine if an intervention in a kinesiology course affected metacognitive awareness and use of metacognitive strategies, a quasi-experimental research design utilized a convenience sample of 89 upper division undergraduate occupational therapy students and master’s level athletic training students enrolled in kinesiology courses. Using an online survey including the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (Schraw & Dennison, 1994) and three Likert scale questions about perception of study skills, pre-test and post-test data were collected over three years, and 6-month follow-up data were collected during the final two years of the study. The intervention included information about metacognition and key study tips, five learning activities, and teaching techniques to promote metacognition. Treating the pre-test group as the reference group, the results showed that the post-test and 6-month follow-up test groups were significant predictors of students’ scores on the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory, indicating an improved and sustained metacognitive awareness after completing the course. The intervention was found to have a positive association with scores of planning, information management, comprehension monitoring, and evaluation. These results indicate the value of metacognition instruction. Considering that not all students come equipped with metacognitive skills, instruction in this area could be beneficial to students
Environmental adjustment needs of children with special educational needs in Austrian mainstream schools : the child and teacher perspective
Children with special educational needs included in Austrian main stream schools are provided with special educational support, which aim to create learning environments, that meet the children’s needs on an individual level. Little is known about what adjustments children with special educational needs in mainstream school classes require to promote participation in school occupations. This is the first study in Austria exploring the student-environment-fit from self-perceived chil dren’s perspective and comparing this to teachers’ perspective by using the School Setting Interview. In this cross-sectional matched pairs study twenty-five children (mean age 12.5 ± 1.4) with special educational needs and twenty-one teachers from six Austrian second ary schools were interviewed. Participants’ ratings were analyzed descriptively and statistically with Wilcoxon-Sign Rank Test. Reported adjustments from the child and teacher perspectives were analyzed with qualitative content analysis and presented using the occupa tional, social and physical environmental dimensions from the Model of Human Occupation. Results indicate perceived student environment-fit differs between school activities as well as between children and teachers. Three out of 16 school activities showed a statistically significant difference between children and teacher matched-pair analysis. Children perceive more unmet needs then teachers. Most adjustments are reported in the social environment dimension and inform practitioners what adjustments are perceived to be useful for children with Special Educational Needs and their tea chers. Both children’s and teacher’s perspectives provide valuable information. Significantly, children in this study were able to identify required needs and describe adjustments. To increase participation in school occupations, children can and need to be actively included in the decision-making process
