Pengaruh Ukuran Perusahaan, Ukuran Dewan Komisaris, Profitabilitas Dan Leverage Terhadap Pengungkapan Tanggung Jawab Sosial Pada Perusahaan Manufaktur Yang Terdaftar Di Bei

This study aims to obtain empirical evidence of the effect of firm size, the size of the board of commissioners, profitability and leverage on the disclosure of social responsibility in manufacturing companies on the Stock Exchange in 2009-2011, as well as answers to some of the results of previous research gaps regarding the effect of firm size, the size of the board of commissioners , profitability and leverage on the disclosure of corporate social responsibility.This study uses financial statement data of manufacturing firms during the period 2009-2011. Analysis tools are used to examine the effect of the variables in this study were the F test (ANOVA) for simultaneous testing of multiple regression equations and partial t test to test each variable X to variable Y. Besides, to see how much the contribution of each variable used Adjusted R square. Overall analysis using SPPS program.The results showed that of the test or ANOVA F test, indicating the size of the company, the size of the board of commissioners, profitability and simultaneously leverage effect on social responsibility disclosure in manufacturing companies on the Stock Exchange in 2009-2011 with 95% confidence level. Then from the partial test results using the t test is known that only firm size and profitability have a significant influence on the disclosure of social responsibility, while the size of the board of commissioners and leverage does not have a significant effect on the disclosure of social responsibility. This research is  expected to provide an overview and understanding of the relationship of corporate social responsibility disclosure

Chronic kidney disease:Insights from social and genetic epidemiology

Chronic kidney disease is a major global health burden, caused by the complex interplay between environmental and genetic factors. The results in this thesis provide valuable insights into these causes. First, I corroborate the existence of socioeconomic disparities in kidney disease, as those with lower education seem to have higher rates of chronic kidney disease and faster rates of kidney function decline. Second, those with a positive family history have a threefold higher risk of having chronic kidney disease, and there is strong evidence for a genetic component to kidney function and kidney damage. Third, genetic risk of chronic kidney disease may be offset by higher socioeconomic status. Finally, educational level may not be the main driver of socioeconomic disparities in chronic kidney disease, as the genetic evidence for a causal effect of educational level is inconclusive

Magnetic susceptibility anisotropies in a two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions

The magnetic and thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet that incorporates both a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya and pseudo-dipolar interactions are studied within the framework of a generalized nonlinear sigma model (NLSM). We calculate the static uniform susceptibility and sublattice magnetization as a function of temperature and we show that: i) the magnetic-response is anisotropic and differs qualitatively from the expected behavior of a conventional easy-axis QHAF; ii) the Neel second-order phase transition becomes a crossover, for a magnetic field B perpendicular to the CuO(2) layers. We provide a simple and clear explanation for all the recently reported unusual magnetic anisotropies in the low-field susceptibility of La(2)CuO(4), L. N. Lavrov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 017007 (2001), and we demonstrate explicitly why La(2)CuO(4) can not be classified as an ordinary easy-axis antiferromagnet.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Revtex4, accepted for publication in Phys.

Negotiation Of Meaning In Communicative Tasks

The adoption of task-based teaching in Indonesia classrooms has not been widely accepted for two major grounds. First, teachers seem to cast some doubts as to what degree such an approach can contribute to their students\u27 language development. Second, classroom management issues, such as discipline and noise become another challenge to cope with. While these issues deserve serious attention, teachers\u27 unwillingness to venture the use of tasks seems to put their awareness of the learning process at stake. It is through task-based teaching, students\u27 language development can be nurtured. This study is an attempt to probe the benefits of using two types of communicative tasks: picture comparison and picture drawing. The study involving two female Taiwanese native speakers learning English found that the interactional mechanisms created through a task and, negotiation of meaning provided a potentially rich forum for students\u27 language development. There are at least two prime elements accounting for this benefit. First, the type of direct indicators employed by the student creates linguistic urgency fostering the limit of their language capacity, and the use of embedded negotiation of meaning promotes students\u27 active involvement. Second, one way communicative tasks, to some degree, can yield greater opportunities for students to negotiate, thus enriching acquisition

Familial Aggregation of CKD and Heritability of Kidney Biomarkers in the General Population:The Lifelines Cohort Study

Rationale & Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a heritable component. We aimed to quantify familial aggregation of CKD in the general population and assess the extent to which kidney traits could be explained by genetic and environmental factors. Study Design: Cross-sectional 3-generation family study. Setting & Participants: Data were collected at entry into the Lifelines Cohort Study from a sample of the general population of the northern Netherlands, composed predominantly of individuals of European ancestry. Exposure: Family history of CKD. Outcomes: The primary outcome was CKD, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) Analytical Approach: Familial aggregation of CKD was assessed by calculating the recurrence risk ratio (RRR), using adapted Cox proportional hazards models. Heritability of continuous kidney-related traits was estimated using linear mixed models and defined as the ratio of the additive genetic variance to total phenotypic variance. All models were adjusted for age, sex, and known risk factors for kidney disease. Results: Among 155,911 participants with available eGFR data, the prevalence of CKD was 1.19% (1,862 cases per 155,911). The risk of CKD in those with an affected first-degree relative was 3 times higher than the risk in the total sample ( RRR, 3.04 [95% CI, 2.26-4.09). In those with an affected spouse, risk of CKD was also higher (RRR, 1.56 [95% CI, 1.20-1.96]), indicative of shared environmental factors and/or assortative mating. Heritability estimates of eGFR, UAE, and UACR were 44%, 20%, and 18%, respectively. For serum urea, creatinine, and uric acid, estimates were 31%, 37%, and 48%, respectively, whereas estimates for serum electrolytes ranged from 22% to 28%. Limitations: Use of estimated rather than measured GFR. UAE data only available in a subsample. Conclusions: In this large population-based family study, a positive family history was strongly associated with increased risk of CKD. We observed moderate to high heritability of kidney traits and related biomarkers. These results indicate an important role of genetic factors in CKD risk

Surface wave generation and propagation on metallic subwavelength structures measured by far-field interferometry

Transmission spectra of metallic films or membranes perforated by arrays of subwavelength slits or holes have been widely interpreted as resonance absorption by surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). Alternative interpretations involving evanescent waves diffracted on the surface have also been proposed. These two approaches lead to divergent predictions for some surface wave properties. Using far-field interferometry, we have carried out a series of measurements on elementary one-dimensional (1-D) subwavelength structures with the aim of testing key properties of the surface waves and comparing them to predictions of these two points of view
