Perbandingan Profil Hematologi Pada Preeklampsia/ Eklampsia Dengan Kehamilan Normotensi Di Rsup Dr. Kariadi Semarang

Background: Preeclampsia is hypertension accompanied by proteinuria and edema which was one of the major cause of maternal death in Indonesia. There are changes hematological profile in preeclampsia.Aim: To compare the hematological profile of preeclampsia and eclampsia with normotensive pregnancies at RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang.Methods: This was a cross-sectional with observational analysis. Data was taken from the medical records of pregnant and labor women in Hospital Dr. Kariadi 2014. The assessment of hematogical profile consisted of the number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit levels, levels of MCV, MCH, MCHC, leukocyte count, and platelet count. The data were statistically analized using the comparative test of One Way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis as alternative test.Results: There were 13 patients with mild preeclampsia, 56 patients with severe preeclampsia, eclampsia 16 patients and 85 patients with normotensive. Hematocrit increased significantly in severe preeclampsia compared with mild preeclampsia and controls (p < 0.000). Leukocyte levels were significantly higher in severe preeclampsia compared with controls (p < 0.000). Hematocrit and leukocytes in mild preeclampsia and eclampsia showed no significant difference compared with normotensive pregnancies. There was a significant difference in the number of erythrocytes (p < 0.000) and hemoglobin (p < 0.001). There is no significant difference in MCH level (p < 0.870), MCV level (p < 0.770), MCHC level (p < 0.300), and platelets count (p < 0.425).Conclusion: Hematocrit in patients with severe preeclampsia was higher than mild preeclampsia and normotensive pregnancies. There was an increase in the number of leukocytes in patients with severe preeclampsia compared with normotensive pregnancies. There is no difference in hematocrit and leukocytes in mild preeclampsia and eclampsia than normotensive pregnancy. There were differences in the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin. There was no differences in the levels of MCH, MCV, MCHC and platelets

Corporate Governance and Long Term Performance of the Business Groups: The Case of Chaebols in Korea

The existence of the business groups has been associated with market failure in emerging economies, and thus their performance has been argued and found to have declined with development of market institutions surrounding them. This paper takes up this issue of long-term performance of the business groups but argues that it has also to do with the internal problems, such as changes in the ownership and governance structure. It finds, with the Korea data and new method and theoretical grounds, that the relative performance of the business groups, the Chaebols, had consistently declined over the 1980s and 1990s although they were more efficient than the non-Chaebol firms during the early 1980s. The results are robust to different estimation methods, and also to controls for the possible survivorship bias, industry composition, and scale effects. The paper explains the performance change by examining the decrease of the shares held by the controlling families and the associated aggravation of the agency problem leading to unjustifiable expansion drives.Business groups, Long Term performance, Corporate Governance, Chaebols

Looking at the Other through the Eye of a Needle: Korean Garment Businesses and Inter-Ethnic Relations in Argentina

The Argentinean garment industry has evolved into a dynamic and complex inter-ethnic environment wherein ethnic Koreans, while conducting their businesses, have established a particular set of inter-ethnic relations with other minority groups. This research aims to explore the types of relations that Korean immigrants have established with Jews and Bolivians, through the analysis of the perceptions and stereotypes which Koreans explicitly hold vis-à-vis Jews and Bolivians. The research shows that a number of factors, such as hierarchical labour relations, economic inequalities, business competition and conflict, and other cultural practices, have been involved in the processes of shaping and reshaping the Korean relations with other minority groups. This study further argues that discourses emphasising “racial” differentiation as well as generalised images and stereotypes of “others” have unfortunately helped generate and harden prejudices and discrimination
