Determinants of Financial Performance in the Indonesian Islamic Insurance Industry

The purpose of this study is to determine the role of the board of directors as an operating executive, as the company's supervisory board of commissioners, the proportion of managerial ownership and institutional ownership as well as leverage on the financial performance of Islamic insurance industry. The method used is multiple regression analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis. Data of company successfully researched as many as 15 Islamic insurance companies in Indonesia with a study period of 2011 to 2015. The results showed that the board does not affect the financial performance of Takaful. Commissioners, managerial ownership, institutional ownership and leverage positive effect on the financial performance of Islamic insurance industry in Indonesia. The size of the company weakens the relationship between the number of directors and leverage to financial performance, and did not moderate the relationship between the number of commissioners, managerial ownership and institutional ownership of the financial performance of Islamic insurance industry..DOI: 10.15408/etk.v16i1.464

Prolonged QTc-Interval in Liver Cirrhotic Patient: Prevalence and Its Relationship with Severity of Liver Dysfunction

Background: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of prolonged QTc -interval and it\u27s relationship with the severity of liver dysfunction in liver cirrhotic patient in the outpatient clinic of Hepatology, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General National Hospital Methods: cross sectional study. Eighty one subjects was recruited and being followed as a consecutive non random sampling. The patient was divided according to the modified Child-Pugh classification and undergo to the ECG examination (with minimal 2 leads have measured QT-interval; one of these is II, aVL, V2 or V3 lead). Result: The prolonged QTc-interval prevalence in liver cirrhotic patient was found in 55 subjects (67,9%) with the mean 448.6 msec (SD = 28,9; 95% CI = 442.2 - 454.8). Using the Forward Stepwise Method in multivariate analysis to the independent variables (p < 0.05) was found only the modified Child-Pugh classification had strongly correlation with the prolonged QTc-interval (OR = 11.2; 95% CI = 3.57-35.47; p = 0.000) Conclusion: The prolonged QTc-interval prevalence in liver cirrhotic patient is 67.9%. The prolonged QTc-interval were strongly associated with the severity of liver dysfunction

Studi Eksperimental Pemberian Tegangan Awal Pada Dinding Batako Tanpa Plester Dan Tanpa Perekat (Btptp) Dalam Menerima Beban

Before the development of the framework structure (using beams and columns), loadbearing wall structure with loads that will work on the building structure bestowed on the walls commonly used in the community. One form loadbearing wall structure is commonly used arrangement brick wall. Adobe is a brick made by printing and maintaining in a damp atmosphere, tras mix, lime and water with or without other additives. One brick technology that has been developed is the use of brick without plaster and adhesives. The composition brick wall has a good ability in resisting axial forces but weak in resisting lateral forces. One of the solutions used to improve the ability of the composition of the brick wall is the lateral force resist giving the initial prestressing force (prestressed) through fastening reinforcement (via tightening bolts). Prediction failure of brick wall composition into focus the problem in this research. Experimental testing in the laboratory, carried out to see the damage that occurs in the form of brick walls in receiving loads (axial and axial-lateral). Abaqus (Simulia 6.10.1) Explicit is used as validation in predicting the form of failure that occurs in the composition of the brick Wall which receives load

A Clinical Profile of Hepatitis a Patients in Jakarta, Indonesia

Background: To determine the incidence of hepatitis A infections and the clinical profiles of adult patients admitted to public hospitals in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that utilised consecutive secondary data from internal medicine wards of seven public hospitals in Jakarta between 2011 and 2013. Eligibility criteria included patients over the age of 18 years and an ICD-10 diagnosis code of B15, acute hepatitis A. Case proportion was reported per 1000 people by dividing incidence per year to total in-ward patients. Clinical profiles were reported descriptively. Laboratory results were compared and categorised into groups of patients aged below and above 25 years old. Results: Data revealed that hospitalisations of patients with hepatitis A had decreased from 2011 to 2013. 289 patients were studied, the majority were young adults (18-25 years old) and their common chief complaints were nausea (36%), fever (24%), and jaundice (21%). Higher bilirubin levels were seen in older patients. There were 13 patients coinfected with hepatitis B, one patient coinfected with hepatitis C, and one patient coinfected with HIV. Conclusions: The proportion of hepatitis A infection amongst adults admitted to public hospitals in Jakarta was low and had decreased during the study period. Most of the patients reported classical clinical manifestations. This study found that the targeted age group may benefit from receiving routine hepatitis A vaccinations

Molecular docking: Bioactive compounds of Mimosa pudica as an inhibitor of Candida albicans Sap 3

Candida albicans (C. albicans) is a commensal microbiota that resides in humans. However, in certain cases, C. albicans can infect and cause several diseases to humans. This study aimed to investigate the interaction between Mimosa pudica bioactive compounds and C. albicans Sap 3. Molecular docking analysis was carried out using YASARA structure. The procedures involved preparation of ligands and target receptor, molecular docking, data analysis and visualization. All 3D ligands were downloaded from PubChem NCBI, while target receptor was downloaded from RCSB PDB. The interaction between Mimosa pudica bioactive compounds against Sap 3 resulted in a binding energies ranges from 5,168 – 7,480 kcal/mol and most of the interactions formed were relatively strong. Furthermore, the test ligands had contact with the catalytic residues and substrate binding site pockets S1/S2/S3/S4 on the target receptor. Bioactive compounds of Mimosa pudica have relatively good interactions in inhibiting C. albicans Sap
