Exploring Factors that Encourage and Obstruct Change in Management Accounting in a Company

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors driving and inhibiting management accounting changes in a company. The research conducted by researchers used a descriptive qualitative approach method with field research. The subjects in this study are companies with management accounting update methods and those that have not experienced management accounting updates. The results of the study concluded that changes in management accounting occur due to many factors, one of which is changes included in the organizational environment and external factors. These changes include things that involve the process of planning, controlling, and decision making in a company. Factors that can drive management accounting changes in a company include technological changes, market developments, competition, regulations, and internal company factors such as leadership changes and organizational restructuring. Management accounting changes can also be influenced by organizational factors such as cooperation, takeovers, and agency relationships.

The Effectiveness of Using Kinect-Based Dyslexia Therapy in Improving Reading Ability in Dyslexic Children: A Linguistic Study

Dyslexia is a learning disorder characterized by difficult in reading, writing, or spelling. People especially children with dyslexia have difficult to identify spoken words and converting them into letters or sentences. The aims of this study are 1) to find out the early symptoms of dyslexia in children, 2) to reveal the effectiveness of using video game media (kinect-based dyslexia therapy media) in improving reading skills in dyslexic children. This research used quantitative method. This research is an experimental longitudinal because there is an intensive observation of the subject within a certain period of time. The result of this study is to reduce the dyslexia children as much as possible to read by using the intervention “Kinect-Based Dyslexia Therapy” (LexiPal). Strong evidence of the success of the LexiPal intervention can be seen through the experimental method (calculated the difference in the position of the treatment group and the control group at the end of the experiment). Calculations are carried out through simple statistical calculations

Infant Mortality Case: An Application of Negative Binomial Regression in order to Overcome Overdispersion in Poisson Regression

Infant mortality is an indicator to determine the degree of public health. Infant mortality is death that occurs in the period from birth to before the age of one. The high rate of infant mortality indicates that the quality of public health services is not optimal. The number of infant deaths is an example of count data that follows a Poisson distribution, so it can be analyzed using Poisson Regression. The assumption that must be met when using this method is the equidispersion or variance of the response variable is equal to mean. However, this condition rarely occurs because usually the counted data has a greater variance than the mean or it is called overdispersion. One way to solve this problem is to use the Negative Binomial Regression method. The data used in this study is the case of infant mortality in the city of Padang. First, we model the data using Poisson Regression, then we check the assumption, if there is overdispersion, we handle it by modeling the data with Negative Binomial Regression. The results showed that the equidispersion assumption could not be met so that the data was modeled with Negative Binomial Regression

Sintesis Nanopartikel Cobalt Ferrite (CoFe2O4) dengan Metode Kopresipitasi dan Karakterisasi Sifat Kemagnetannya

Magnetic nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) have been synthesized by co-precipitation method with various synthesis temperature and concentration of NaOH. The structural characteristics and particle size of CoFe2O4 were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), its showed that nanoparticles well crystallized with various grain size which depend on synthesis parameters. The grain sizes estimated using the Scherrer formula were found that the grain size increased with increasing temperature synthesis and decreasing concentration of NaOH. Magnetic characterization of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles was investigated by using a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). Sample with various concentration of NaOH showed that coercivity was decrease with the decrease of particle size. In other hand, samples with various synthesis temperature found that sample with smallest grain size have high coersivity. The saturation magnetization increase when crystallinity increase. Based on the results, it can be concluded that magnetic characterization of CoFe2O4 was influenced by grain size and crystallinity. Keywords: nanoparticles, CoFe2O4, co-presipitation Nanopartikel magnetik Cobalt Ferrite (CoFe2O4) telah berhasil disintesis dengan metode ko- presipitasi dengan memvariasi parameter suhu dan konsentrasi NaOH. Struktur dan ukuran par- tikel hasil analisa X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) dan Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) menunjukkan bahwa nanopartikel mengkristal dengan baik dan ada ketergantungan ukuran bu- tir nanopartikel terhadap dua variasi parameter sintesis tersebut. Ukuran butir yang dihitung menggunakan persamaan Scherrer menunjukkan bahwa ukuran butir meningkat seiring pen- inggkatan suhu dan berkurangnya konsentrasi NaOH. Sifat kemagnetan CoFe2O4 hasil analisa Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). Sampel dengan variasi konsentrasi NaOH, semakin kecil ukuran butir nanopartikel, medan koersivitasnya semakin rendah. Sementara untuk sam- pel dengan variasi suhu, semakin kecil ukuran butir, medan koersivitasnya semakin tinggi. Ha- sil VSM juga menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi kristalinitas sampel, nilai magnetisasi satu- rasinya semakin tinggi. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa ukuran butir dan kristalini- tas mempengaruhi sifat kemagnetan nanopartikel CoFe2O4. Kata kunci: nanopartikel, CoFe2O4, kopresipitas
