Analisis Perbandingan Kinerja Keuangan Bank Umum Syariah Dengan Bank Umum Konvensional Di Indonesia (Periode 2007-2013)

Bank Syariah di Indonesia mengalami perkembangan yang sangat pesat, ditandai dengan telah berdirinya 11 Bank Umum Syariah di Indonesia saat ini. Perkembangan tersebut akan membuat Kinerja perbankan syariah memiliki andil besar bagi perkembangan perekonomian di Indonesia. Kemunculan bank dengan prinsip syariah memicu persaingan antar bank, sehingga menuntut manajemen untuk ekstra keras meningkatkan kinerjanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan kinerja keuangan bank syariah dan bank konvensional pada periode 2007 hingga 2013 dengan menggunakan rasio keuangan. Rasio keuangan yang digunakan terdiri dari CAR, LDR, NPL, BOPO, dan ROA. Metode penelitian yang digunakan untuk melihat perbandingan kinerja keuangan Bank umum Syariah dengan Bank Umum Konvensional adalah metode Independent sample t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai CAR, BOPO, ROA Bank Umum Syariah berada di bawah Bank Umum Konvensional, dan nilai LDR, NPL Bank Umum Syariah berada di atas Bank Umum Konvesional. Dalam penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa kinerja Bank Umum Syariah dengan Bank Umum Konvensional terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan

Piezo2 is the major transducer of mechanical forces for touch sensation in mice

The sense of touch provides critical information about our physical environment by transforming mechanical energy into electrical signals(1). It is postulated that mechanically activated (MA) cation channels initiate touch sensation, but the identity of these molecules in mammals has been elusive(2). Piezo2 is a rapidly adapting (RA) MA ion channel expressed in a subset of sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and in cutaneous mechanoreceptors known as Merkel cell-neurite complexes(3,4). Merkel cells have been demonstrated to play a role in vertebrate mechanosensation using Piezo2, particularly in shaping the type of current sent by its innervating sensory neuron(4-6). However, major aspects of touch sensation remain intact without Merkel cell activity(4,7). Here, we show that mice lacking Piezo2 in both adult sensory neurons and Merkel cells exhibit a profound loss of touch sensation. We precisely localize Piezo2 to the peripheral endings of a broad range of low threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) that innervate both hairy and glabrous skin. Most RA MA currents in DRG neuronal cultures are absent in Piezo2(CKO) mice, and ex vivo skin nerve preparation studies show that mechanosensitivity of LTMRs strongly depends on Piezo2. This striking cellular phenotype correlates with an unprecedented behavioral phenotype: an almost complete deficit in light touch sensation in multiple behavioral assays, without affecting other somatosensory functions. Our results highlight that a single ion channel that displays RA MA currents in vitro is responsible for the mechanosensitivity of most LTMR subtypes involved in innocuous touch sensation. Interestingly, we find that touch and pain sensation are separable, suggesting that yet-unknown MA ion channel(s) must account for noxious (painful) mechanosensation
