The Current Status and Future Aspects in the Research of

Smartphone Use and Abuse

Dr. Chi Ying Chen

Associate Professor

Asia University

Abstract

Dramatic progress has been achieved in the latest generation of mobile phones (i.e. smartphones)

during the past decade and the smartphone becomes a necessity of our everyday life. Early

studies on mobile phones have emphasized their positive applications including health promotion,

education, communication, and global connectivity. However, in recent years, extensive research

has been conducted to identify and analyze the dysfunctional use of smartphones, and

accumulating evidence reveals that the overuse of smartphones is linked to negative outcomes.

Nevertheless, the extant research on smartphone use has commonly focused more on generalized

use, and less on specific forms. For some individuals, smartphones are used for instrumental or

leisure purposes, whereas for others, their use is attributed to an emotional attachment to social

networking applications (apps). Besides, many studies have empirically explored the relationship

between psychological factors and the excessive use of smartphones under the framework of

cognitive-behavioral model of problematic Internet use. However, the use of social mobile

applications (apps) is the most popular activity; the influence of social factors should not be

ignored given that social focus is an important characteristic of social mobile apps. Finally,

research on this subject has focused on direct effects models exploring the associations between

psychological problems and smartphone overuse. It is inadequate to elucidate the underlying

mechanisms of various smartphone use, such as for information seeking, relationship

maintaining, escape, etc. In conclusion, three potential orientations for future research are

generalized. First, the observed use of smartphones should be specific. Second, the impact of

social factors, such as social skill or social influences, should be included regarding social

activities. Finally, direct effects models should be replaced by interaction or moderating effects

models.

Topic:

Design at the Forefront of a Knowledge Economy: Creativity,

Courage and Grit

Mr. Sonny Choy

Lecturer

Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong

Abstract

Hong Kong has been headed towards a Knowledge Based Economy (KBE) since 2005. The

Special Administrative Region continuously studies its statistical indicators to gauge the level at

which it is achieving its KBE goals. The recent 2017/18 survey of Global Competitiveness

conducted by the World Economic Forum places Hong Kong at 5th with a score of 5.5 out of a

possible maximum seven points. Its close rival, Singapore, managed to score third place globally

with 5.7 out of seven. Hong Kong has been placing increasing focus on its ability to innovate and

leverage on its technological capabilities. Developing technology development hubs locally and

across the border to China, Hong Kong has been stepping up the need for innovation that is born

locally. Being a financial hub of Asia, it has also focused heavily on fintech development as well

as investments entrepreneurial start-ups through government initiatives. The government is

supporting designers and designpreneurs through a Design Incubation Programme that has

nurtured more than 200 design startups from a variety of disciplines since 2006, offering them

financial assistance and incubation services.

Hong Kong’s Design education sector caters to the needs of the local design industry while

generating graduates who can work locally, but also across Asia and all over the world.

Graduates become creative talent that facilitate Hong Kong’s innovation in areas such as

consumer electronics, for example, where fast-changing consumer taste and rapid development

of electronics and information technologies, lead to very short product cycles. Design graduates

allow regional manufacturers to be more adaptable and responsive considering the faster pace of

market changes and global competition. In this Keynote I will explore some examples of how

21

product design education is generating graduates who can meet the fast changing needs of

industry in the region. A discussion will also be made on how government research funding is

helping achieve the region’s sustainabilty agenda by researching “Sustainable Living” as our

five-year strategic research theme which will formulate solutions to improving the environment.

Finally we will explore how design students and graduates are encouraged to break through

boundaries and work creatively despite the challenges presented in the fast changing global

business landscape.

Topic:

Cultivating Global Engineering Skills: Challenges in Higher

Engineering Education

Dr. Simona Vasilache

Assistant Professor

University of Tsukuba, Japan

Abstract

Higher engineering education faces various challenges in our globalized world. Due to the

increasingly large numbers of international students in their institutions, one of the major

problems educators face is cultivating so-called "global skills", dealing with aspects like

adaptability, cultural-sensitivity, multilingualism etc.

Why are global skills more important today than they were 25 years ago? What are the key

differences and similarities between engineering education and other education areas? How do

different cultural backgrounds influence students and educators in engineering fields?

This talk will attempt to answer these questions and highlight the overall importance of

cultivating global engineering skills in today’s engineering education.

Topic:

Annular Fin Design Problems

Dr. Cheng-Hung Huang

Chair Professor


Abstract

By means of finned surfaces of heat exchanger to transmit the amount of heat energy from hot

vapor to the cooling flow by convection and by radiation is widely used as the energy part in our

life and regarded as the role of many industries such as a power supply of the marine, a

refrigerator, an air conditioner, a waste heat recovery and a petro-chemistry industry.

For refrigerator and air conditioner, the evaporator is an important part among the refrigerating

processes, and they go with a compressor, a condenser, a thermal expansion valve and an

evaporator. It turns liquid refrigerant which has two states of the low pressure and the normal

temperature into gas refrigerant under the low pressure and the low temperature with the heat

exchanger. Since the ambient air passes through the equipment of the evaporator, lots of heat

from the ambient air is then be captured in the refrigerant and causes temperature of the ambient

air to descend. Thus, the annular fins adhered to the bare tube to possess a larger area of the fin

surface is needed in order to enhance the cooling effect of the evaporator.

The dew point temperature determines the critical point between dry and wet region on the

annular fin surface. The discussion will therefore be focused on the influence of the dew point

temperature on the fully wet and partially wet conditions.

It should be noted that the shape of annular fin can affect greatly the fin efficiency under the

conditions of same fin material and volume for use in the industry applications. So the main

purpose of this presentation is how to design the optimal shape of the annular fin that has the

highest fin efficiency adhere to bare tube in an evaporator.

Abstract

During last decade, technological advances and global objectives which is related to

sustainability, security of supply and competitiveness and also the policy and regulatory

frameworks have been significantly driving the physical outlook of the power grid. As for the

determination of electrification demand, the decentralization of distributed generators (DG)

within the transmission/distribution network, and the digitization of

information-technology/operation-technology (IT/OT) of smart grid communication devices,

marks the transformation the electric infrastructure to put into account.

Since it is commonly known that the ancient power plants were categorized as centralized

generation, such as fossil fuel, nuclear and large hydropower plants, however, because of the

demand at the customer side has raised continuously, the ancient model of power plant could no

longer fulfill the requirements. In addition, from a technological perspective point of view, it is

discovered that maintaining power quality, managing voltage and frequency levels, increasing

consumption, standardization and interoperability issues are major challenges that are related to

the decentralized DGs. Therefore, due to coordinate and communicate DGs in this case the

photovoltaics (PVs) within the network, the communication infrastructure must also put into

account.

Since the single-phase rooftop PVs are installed into the three-phase residential feeder of low

voltage (LV) distribution network, the voltage profiles of the network become unbalanced.

Although the load at the customer side has already imbalanced the network, but as the

single-phase rooftop PVs with the ratings of 1-5kW are installed along the feeder, the power

quality issues, such as the voltage magnitude and angle, the frequency, the active and reactive

powers become significantly noticeable. This is because of the grid infrastructure from plants to

beyond the customer side is disrupted as several utility devices added into the network. As the

infrastructure problem raised, the power quality issues appeared.

Several studies have been conducted to overcome the power quality issues along the feeder

whereas the PVs are installed. Nevertheless, as the trend of smart-devices technology developed,

another utility problem such as the coordination and communication amongst grid-connected

27

PVs has upraised.

This paper aims to implement the concept of developing the contribution of electrification,

decentralization, and (IT/OT) digitization into the electric and communication infrastructures as

they are virtuously cycling, enabling, amplifying and reinforcing the infrastructure development.

This concept in certain ways also apply the voltage regulation technique (VRT), in order to

improve the voltage unbalanced and other power quality issues.

The proposed methods to implement the concept are built through the considered network, and

applied the communication-based VRT that has been studied through several researches that

have been conducted by the authors. As the method applied, the results show the concept might

accomplish if the selected and designed of both communication devices and technology properly.

In addition, the considered classifying of communication layers also plays the important roles.

As the concept of electrification infrastructure, decentralization of PV system along the

residential feeder and IT/OT digitization of the communication among sensor, actuators and

meters are applied.

Thus, to implement the concept the development of the electric infrastructure as well as the

inclusion of decentralization DGs’ set and communication of devices from plant to beyond the

load at the customer side must coordinate in such way that the improvement of

communication-based VRT to overcome the imbalanced voltage profile can be successfully

conducted.

Keywords: Rooftop PVs, electrification, decentralization, IT/OT digitization,

communication-based VRT, and voltage profile improvement.

1. Background

Recently, Wireless Charging has been applied to electric vehicles, household appliances and

mobile devices, and various products and active researches are under way.

2. Results

The voltage transfer ratio decreased or increased depending on the shape of the magnetic path. It

was confirmed that the voltage transfer ratio was influenced according to the shape of the

magnetic path. In this paper, it is the value calculated based on the formula. Furthermore, if we

1. Background.

In everyday life, we can control the speed control, efficiency control, and power factor control of

the induction motor by operating the inverter. So it is used for reserve power, DC power

transmission. In order to operate these inverters efficiently, they must be controlled. So we will

control using a half bridge inverter. However, the current flowing into the circuit when the half

bridge inverter circuit is operating is very large. So it is difficult to measure how much current is

in a working circuit. So we add a CT sensor to the circuit that measures the current in the half

bridge inverter circuit. Also find out the operation in the circuit when sikyeoteul add a CT sensor

for the half-bridge inverter.

2. Results

The circuit works even if CT is added to the half bridge inverter. However, the circuit is unstable

during the initial LC resonance. So the voltage across the IGBT switch is greater than the half

bridge inverter IGBT switch voltage. Therefore, when designing the circuit, an IGBT switch that

can operate at a higher voltage than the half bridge inverter IGBT switch can be used. The

advantage of adding a CT sensor to a half-bridge inverter is that it can be designed to stop

operating when a current larger than the current required by the circuit flows. In addition, we can

design the current we want to flow.

1. Background

With the expansion of dc power supply, interest in dc-to-dc converters is increasing. In particular,

the interleaved converter has the advantage of reducing the output voltage ripple without

increasing the switching frequency by increasing the output power by using the parallel circuit

structure and the phase difference control of the switch. Also, compared with the boost converter

under the same output condition, the switch current is reduced by half. However, as the number

of parts increases, the interleaved converter needs to be clearly analyzed for changes in the

failure rate during design modifications. Therefore, we propose guidelines for designing a

reliable converter by comparing and analyzing the failure rate rather than comparing the number

of parts, rating, and efficiency when designing the boost converter and interleaved converter with

the same input-output specification.

2. Results

In this paper, the failure rates of boost converters and interleaved converters are examined. The

interleaved converters have the advantages of efficiency, reduction in rating, and lightness of

parts under the same input and output conditions. However, as the number of parts increases, the

failure rate of the boost converter is twice as high. Therefore, when changing to the interleaved

converter type to increase the capacity of the boost converter, it is necessary to clearly recognize

the change in the failure rate and to trade-off the efficiency, the number of parts, the ripple

reduction, and the switching loss effect.

1. Background

Currently there is growing interest in wireless power transfer. Wireless power transfer

technology eliminates the need for a variety of devices to create a more efficient space and

greatly reduces the use of the device. Among the three methods of wireless power

transfer(Electromagnetic wave method, magnetic induction method, magnetic resonance

method), this paper explains the difference of wireless power transfer according to presence or

absence of the magnetic path in the resonator based on the wireless power transfer technique

using the magnetic induction method. In the experiment, a class-D power amplifier was used for

the transmitter and a full-bridge rectifier was used for the receiver. A cylindrical resonator was

used for the resonator, magnetic path was ferrite core was used. The inductor value of the

resonator is 110uH and the capacitor value is 230pF. The distance between the transmitter and

the receiver is fixed to 5Cm, and the resistance of the output terminal of the receiver is 150Ω.

The input voltage was 40V, the input current was 0.04A, and the input frequency was 1MHz.

2. Results

In this paper Through experiments, we compare the efficiency of wireless power transfer

according to the presence or absence of Magnetic path and confirm the result. The output power

doubled due to the influence of high magnetic permeability when there was a magnetic path in

the Resonator. In the future, by increasing the input voltage and current and finding the more

efficient capacitor and inductor value, We expect to see even higher increases. Finally, at a

distance of 10 cm between the resonators it is expected that the transfer efficiency can be made

up to 50% or more by utilizing the magnetic path.

Background

Devices with power conversion functions are becoming commercially available due to their

convenience and necessity, but defects can cause product interruptions and explosions, and

safety accidents must be paid attention. If you know the failure rate closely related to the safety

accident and compare the failure rate of the two systems, it will help you to select the product

and it will be a good basis for the safety judgment. In this paper, we propose a method to

calculate the failure rate by applying the method to the electric circuit, comparing the failure

rates of the two converters, and suggesting a method to help the circuit selection.

Results

In this paper, we introduce a method to calculate the failure rate of a circuit element, apply it to

two forward converters, and use the same device to compare the two. The failure rate was

calculated based on the current flow when the power was applied. To prevent the magnetizing

current from increasing, the failure rate of the forward converter is 0.19673 Failures /105Hours

and the failure rate of the two-switch forward converters without reset winding is 0.23549

Failure /105 Hours.

In this paper, we applied the FTA to compare the failure rates for the same system. If the FTA is

used to compare the failure rate of each circuit element and the reliability of the system, it will be

helpful to select the product because the objective numerical value can be seen.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the value of time passenger of public transportation of Medan City;

namely the amount of money that someone willing to spend to save one unit of travel time. Medan

is projected to operate a monorail to support the movement of people within the city. In the

investment of a transport project, consideration should be given to the high or low speed of travel

of a planned freight for road users. This matter because the savings or the reduction of time value is

one of the indirect benefits (economy) in a transportation project.

There are several ways to calculate the time value of which is "Mode Choice Approach" and

"Income Approach." Random Regret Minimization is a new method that can be used to calculate

time value. Random Regret Minimization is a method whereby a choice that will appear is

considered no better than the previous alternative. The calculation result shows that the value of

travel tims of public transportation passenger of Medan City with Random Regret Minimization

method is Rp 6687,52 / hour/person. It shows a significantly different result with the Mode of

Choice Approach and Income Approach method. Regarding modeling, this indicates that there is a

tendency of passengers public transportation in Medan city to avoid regret that will arise when the

monorail will operate later.

1. Background/ Objectives and Goals

Despite many research efforts have been devoted to the learning outcome of flipped classroom,

there is limited attention on the investigation of relationship between online learning behavior

and learning outcomes in flipped classrooms. In this research, we present the application of

learning analytics to investigate the influence of online learning behaviors on short-term and

long-term learning outcomes in flipped classrooms.

2. Expected Results/ Conclusion/ Contribution

The analysis result of MLR and MCA indicated that students’ online learning behavior has

significant effect on long-term learning outcomes (GPA) for the five groups (GPAa, GPAb, GPAc,

GPAd, GPAe), nevertheless, it has significant effect on short-term learning outcomes (Calculus

grade) only for three groups (CALa, CALd, and CALe), but not for the other two groups (CALb

and CALc). This is because Calculus is a freshmen year course, and students’ prior knowledge of

Calculus influenced their learning outcomes. For exploring the effects of online learning

behaviors on future learning outcomes, GPA can be considered a good indicator because GPA

was calculated for the entire academic year. Students in the CALa group exhibited the highest

frequency of online learning behaviors and obtained the highest GPA grade levels (GPAa and

GPAb). For the CALb, CALc, CALd, and CALe groups, students with a higher frequency of

online learning behaviors obtained a higher GPA grade level. These results indicate that students’

online learning behaviors have a positive effect on future learning outcomes.

1. Background

Many studies have found that aboriginal students were poor performance on mathematics

learning. A lot of researchers believe that culture integrated into teaching materials could

improve aboriginal student's mathematics learning. There is an experimental elementary school

in Pingtung of Taiwan which adopted a mathematics textbook with the Paiwan cultures

integration for improving aboriginal students’ learning performance. The research would like to

investigate how the school teachers use the culture-based textbook and the students’ feeling and

reactions to it.

2. Results

The results indicated that the teacher almost used the tasks of textbook in her mathematics class.

At the same time, she also used multiple representations to present the task and provided lots of

opportunities for students to share and discuss their ideas about problem solving. Base on

students’ learning reaction and performance, the teacher will adjust the content of task and gave

different expression for improve students’ understanding. Otherwise, she also used lot of Paiwan

language in math class for getting more learning engagement motivation. Summarized the

teacher’s teaching performance, she created a student-center learning environment which

included used real cultural situation tasks and invited students to actively think and share their

math ideas when them solved the tasks. According to the lesson observation and the interviews,

the students expressed that they were enjoyed and excited to engage the math class. On students’

perspectives when attended math class was more like to watch a picture book that could learn

more traditional culture stories. Using culture-based teaching materials could guide students get

into the math world from real world and raise their motivation and interesting in mathematics

learning.

1. Background

Remedial instruction is an important educational policy in Taiwan for achieving the goal of

equity. But some studies indicated that the most difficulty the teachers meet when they

implemented mathematics remedial instruction is lack of remedial teaching materials. So the

main purpose of this study was on the development and design of remedial teaching material of

mathematics for the junior high school teachers. There are 96 mathematics learning objectives

from 7th

to 9th

grade which could be fitted into four learning domains as: “Numbers and

calculation”, “Geometry”, “Algebra”, and “Statistics and probability”. Researcher scrutinized

these 96 objectives and classified them to form 16 learning topics as the remedial materials for

junior high school. In this study we would like to present the teaching materials developmental

processes and results that focus on four learning topics which include “ratio”, “square root”, “the

characteristics and relationships of geometric shapes”, and “the characteristic of similar shape”.

And wish the teaching materials we developed could be used for teachers and achieving the goal

of equity in mathematics education.

2. Expected Results and Conclusion

There were two expected results in this study. First, through our design on remedial teaching

materials could improve low achiever’ learning performance on mathematics. Second, we also

wish could solve the teachers’ difficulty when they implement mathematics remedial instruction.

We also believe that students could get more learning successful opportunity on math which

could be helpful for their future development through our teaching materials.

Abstract

This qualitative study explored the Japanese L2 (second language) English users’

self-perceptions of talking with L1 (first language) English users and other, particularly

non-Japanese, L2 English users. 81 Japanese undergraduates shared their experiences of using

English as a L2 in various situations, including classroom learning, travel, study abroad,

part-time work, and daily life. They offered their preferences about whether they thought that it

is easier for them to talk with L1 or other L2 English users. Using an interpretivist approach, data

collected from their blog writing showed that 56% of the participants thought that it is easier to

talk with other L2 English users and the major reasons related to: a reduction of performance

anxiety, simplification, and explicitness. In contrast, 40% of the participants felt that it is easier to

talk with L1 English users and the main reasons related to explicitness (only), explicitness, and

superior pronunciation. The results of this study demonstrated the value of exploring Japanese

L2 English users’ self-perceptions of their spoken interactions with others in English, and the

influence that their experiences of relating to others in their social world had on the development

of their English language user (learner) identity.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the competency and readiness of accounting graduates towards Digital

Accounting, evaluate the needs assessment for properness of Accounting graduates and their readiness towards Digital

Revolution in the Digital 4.0 Era, and to come up with recommendations for improving the teaching and learning

process and in developing the accounting curriculum. This is an empirical research with questionnaire being used as

the tool for collecting data from 177 sample Assumption University Accounting graduates. The collected data were

analyzed in terms of mean, percentage, ranking, and priority need index, for assessment of the needs for developing

accounting graduates towards serving digital accounting in digital 4.0 era.

The research findings related to the competency and knowledge of accounting graduates towards Digital Accounting

are in high level, except for their knowledge in digital economy, digital finance, digital marketing, digital 4.0 and

e-taxation laws and rules which are in moderate level. Their skills in Digital Accounting are mostly in high level. In

addition, all the qualification needs for digital accounting are in high level. The highest 3 priority needs assessment for

competency towards Digital Accounting and related business are knowledge in (1) Digital Economy, (2) Accounting

Software-Cloud Computing Data Automation, and (3) e-taxation laws, rules, regulations that are in practice. The

Needs Assessment for developing their skills, are in the usage of software, working tools and ability of operation via

online accounting and auditing system. Furthermore, needs assessment for qualifications are intellectual skills,

application, diligence, updating for change, and developing and learning innovations.

The Effects of Board Composition, Ownership Structure on Earnings Quality

and Audit Fees Surrounding Introduction of Corporate Governance Code in

Japan

Hiroshi Uemura

Abstract

The Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) has revised some of the rules on the listing of securities, and

the Japanese Corporate Governance Code (J-Code) was applied anew in June 2015. The TSE

argued that if firms practiced the J-Code appropriately, it will enable the development of firms,

investors, and also the Japanese economy as a whole because adoption of the J-Code prompts

firms to make autonomous efforts to increase their valuation and thereby leads to sustainable

growth. With this change, many listed companies have submitted the Corporate Governance

Report to the TSE. Using a sample of Japanese listed firms, this study investigates how board

composition (e.g., board independence) changes and whether or not there has been an

improvement in the earnings quality of firms since the introduction of the J-Code. The results

indicate that after the adoption of the J-Code, the ratio of outside directors, institutional

shareholders, and foreign shareholders have increased. However, these external pressures have

no effect on improvement of earnings quality and the declining of control risk assessed by

external auditors. On the other hand, the main bank shareholders and outside directors from main

banks affect improvement of earnings quality and the declining of control risk.

Why Do Consumers Use the Resources of Sharing Economy?

Irene Y.L. Chen

Department of Accounting, National Changhua University of Education, R.O.C.


1. Background

During the past few years, consumers’ need for using the resources of sharing economy has

increased explosively. However, this also breeds problems of consumer dispute, tax, regulation

violations, etc. This entails a need to investigate the antecedents of consumers’ intentions for

using the resources of sharing economy.

2. Results

Consistent with previous findings of other studies, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use,

trust, uniqueness, environmental awareness significantly and positively influence consumers’

intentions of using the sharing economy resources. However, cost significantly and negatively

influences the use intention. Laws and regulation does not have significant impact on use

intention. It is worth noting that perceived usefulness exerts the strongest impacts on use

intention, slightly stronger than that of uniqueness and trust. This implies that ability of the

sharing economy resource to fulfill consumers’ needs is more important than the uniqueness and

consumer reviews of a certain resource. Moreover, consumers can compare the prices they need

to pay for using the resources. If the cost of using the resource is higher than their prior

expectation, consumers are less likely to use the resource.

The plausible reason for the insignificant impact of laws and regulation may be that consumers

usually do not read related local laws and regulation concerning using the sharing economy

resource prior to their consumption. Finally, increasing consumers in modern society have

environmental awareness which may lead them to choose sharing economy resources rather than

other types of resource such as hotels or company owned transportation facilities.

Abstract

Purpose-This study demonstrates that the informativeness of security analyst current-year

earnings forecast (FY1) for firms with substantial non-permanent earnings items diminish when

she concurrently issues multi-year forecasts.

Design/methodology/approach-The research design adopts both regression analysis and

fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) methods to depict the relation between the

reported non-permanent components of earnings and FY1. Due, perhaps, to analyst concerns

over forecast accuracy, FY1 appears to increase with both non-recurring components of

accounting earnings (NRE), defined as the sum of Special Items and Foreign Exchange Gains

and Losses, and value-irrelevant components, proxied by discretionary accruals (DA).

Findings- The same analyst’s concurrent long-term earnings estimates, proxied by

three-year-ahead forecasts (FY3s), appear to be free from the influence of these two

non-permanent components of earnings. Consistently, the configurational comparative method,

fsQCA, yields that FY1 has insignificant explanatory power on analyst concurrent investment

recommendations when FY3 by the same analyst is available, indicating that investors should

weigh less (more) on analyst current (long-term) earnings estimates in the valuation framework.

Originality/value-This study indicates that when a firm’s long-run profitability differs from

current year earnings, long-horizoned analyst forecasts add to identify the differences.

Abstract

This study investigates whether venture capital affects the probability of earnings management

by initial public offering (IPO) firms. Prior studies suggest that managers of IPO firms motivated

by self-interest may exploit information asymmetry and conduct accrual-based and/or

real-activity earnings management to achieve their goals especially when firms go public.

Moreover, going public usually requires capital, and venture capital is one of the main sources of

funding. Building on the prior research, this study examines whether venture capitalist support

affects the probability of earnings management of IPO firms through real activity and/or

accrual-based manipulation. Our empirical findings suggest that venture capitalists mitigate the

conflict of interest from agency problems and thus restrain accrual-based earnings management.

However, venture capitalists do not restrain all types of real earnings management by IPO firms.

The IPO firms backing by venture capital has a negative influence on long-term operating

performance when the firms engage in real earnings management.

Comparative Study of Thai and ASEAN Accounting and Financial Reporting

Standards for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)

Abstract

This study is an empirical and documentary research that aims to compare the adoption of IFRS by

SMEs in ten of the ASEAN countries, and to focus on the study of the readiness and problems in

implementing IFRS in Thailand. The survey approach and semi-structure in-depth interview was

conducted on 30 Accountants of Thai SMEs from the national accounting firms in Bangkok,

whereby, convenience sampling was used, and the collected data were analyzed in terms of content

analysis. In addition, documentary study from previous researches, articles, news, international

and national accounting standards, and other information related to financial statements in

preparation and presentation of ASEAN SMEs was done.

IFRS for SMEs is a complete stand-alone standard with 35 chapters. It expects simpler and fewer

restrictions than detailed and complete set standards, in addition to reducing the cost and burden

of preparing of the financial statements. It is found that in 2017, ASEAN State members who

adopted IFRS for SMEs as their own national accounting standards are classified into 4 categories:

(1) fully adopted/converged are Cambodia, Myanmar, and Philippines (2) adopted are Malaysia

and Singapore (3) adapted by modifying IFRS to meet with their countries’ economies and

environment are Laos and Thailand, and (4) neither adopted nor adapted are Brunei, Indonesia,

Vietnam. The reasons for adoption are the reliability and comparability of financial statements for

SMEs global trading of multinational enterprises, but the reasons for not adopting are due to the

complexity, inappropriateness and un-alignment in the context of their nation, which in turn

becomes a burden to the accountant.

Thai Financial Reporting Standards for SMEs are in the process of adopting from IFRS for SMEs.

It is not yet ready to be enforced and to be used in the year 2018, due to the complexity of

Non-Publicly Accountable entities, and not to be able to clearly understand the definition of SMEs

firm size, and contents of the standards that will be used in practice. It would become a burden not

only for accountants but also entrepreneurs of SMEs in Thailand. Furthermore, the incremental

costs for preparing and auditing financial statements are considered higher than the incremental of

benefits earned by the users of information.

Social Action by Research: A Case Study of the Ethnic Minority, Medical

Interpreters in Hong Kong

Translation Programme, Hong Kong Baptist University


Abstract

Background

Ethnic minorities in Hong Kong are not just the small number of minority groups living in Hong

Kong, a lot of them exists in marginalized situations distant from the dominant society. There are

cases in which the marginalized population lacks the ability to communicate in the dominant

language which restricts their access to public services such as health care, and instead rely

heavily on interpreters. Before this project, ad hoc interpreters were commonly used in place of

trained interpreters, but recently these professionals have gained popularity in use within the

medical settings. However, interpreters still find their professional development and engagement

fraught with problems and challenges. Majority of the interpreters who are actively delivering

the medical interpreting services consider their jobs as voluntary services because of the minimal

payment that they are receiving from the referral agent, and the very limited recognition and

appreciation of their work.

Conclusion

As results of this project, a group of practicing yet amateur interpreters were trained to become

professional interpreters and interpreter-trainers themselves, also a professional association was

established to serve as a platform for liaison with services users and advocate for the rights of the

ethnic minority interpreters and training services for those who are interested in medical and

legal interpreting.

Arts & Social Science Department, The Open University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong


Abstract

Background, Objectives and Goals

Nowadays, social media advertising emerges as an important communication channel for

augmenting advertising effectiveness. Some scholars had proved the attitude toward empathy

expression (AEE) to be a suitable construct in social networking site advertising context. They

indicated the more positive the participant’s attitude toward empathy expression, the greater

participant’s intention to express empathy for the SNS advertisement and leading to the intention

of purchase. However, the research would be limited to the usage of still image of social media

advertisement, the focus on college students and the ‘liking’ behavioural response.

The implementations of gamification aim towards goals of engaging and educating customers.

The writer proposes to experiment on how the gameful experience impacts on value creation for

users and how it is relative to a positive AEE and the purchase intention. The writer also tends to

find out the notion of the adults’ attitude on social media advertising and through an

experimental process. If marketers can create value for customers purchasing their products or

services, it will improve and benefit of selling power. This further will also provide the strategy

of how to gain the effectiveness of social media advertising globally.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of academic self-concept, parental

involvement, relationship with teacher, friendship intimacy and school climate on the Academic

Achievement on Science (AAS) among Junior High School students in Surabaya. AAS was

defined as the ability to use knowledge, identify question and making a conclusion before

deciding (Lokan, Greenwood & Cresswell, n.d.). In addition, this study also examined the role of

non-cognitive factors (ie. demographic factors) in the improvement of science achievement. Data

were collected by using the adaptation of Middle Years Development (MDI; Schonert-Reichl et

al., 2012) for measuring factors from different layers of ecological model, such as academic

self-concept, parental involvement, relationship with teacher, friendship intimacy and perceived

school climate. This research involved 905 students from three public junior schools in Surabaya.

The result showed that academic self-concept, parental coercive, relationship with teacher and

school climate made significant influences on AAS. Interestingly, parental support and

friendship intimacy did not show any significant influence on AAS. The relevance of this study

for improving the well-being of school-age children in schools will be discussed further.

In Search of a Better Place…Exploring Sushmita Banerjee’s Work

Kabuliwalar Bangali Bou

Soumita Nath

Sarojini Naidu College for Women


Introduction

Ami voy korbona, voy korbona… (I will not fear, I will not…)

“This is like suicide”

That was what renowned novelist Samaresh Mukherjee told to Anandabazar Patrika when he

heard the news of the death of Banerjee. And with that news the question which came into our

mind was “why did she went back to Afghanistan when she knew that she would not be back?”

She married Afghani Muslim Janbaz Khan in 1989 and went to Afghanistan to meet the

members of her husband’s family and the dreams were shattered being tortured there for seven

years. Janbaz Khan who was only her own also left her alone and escaped to India being

threatened by the Taliban. She saw the torture of the Taliban as well as Afghani men who

considered their wives as slaves. She was about to lose her identity. Her name was changed in

Sayeda Kamala and she was called as “sahib kamal”. She was promised that she would be back

within seven months but she was gulled. There she adopted a baby girl from her own family

named Tinni and that little girl was only her own on that grimpen mire. She tried quite a number

of times to escape but wherever she asked help she proved failure. That was not that everyone

was evil. Rather they were helpless in the hand of patriarchy which engulfed the lives of women.

Her condition was like Caliban in The Tempest. Caliban was also in search of freedom and his

identity. They both were failed at first but repeated try made things easy. There was no doubt

that Banerjee had guts and determination. Moreover she had to leave Tinni in Afghanistan when

she escaped. Had she gone to bring her daughter in India? She had braved huge obstacles and

even beating in her own family for her relationship with Janbaz who later became her husband.

She again struggled in a conservative family in Afghanistan when she was living there. She was

almost locked at her home. In fact she tried a number of times to escape and she did through a

hole in her wall but gain captured by the Taliban and as a runaway bride when was about to be

executed but one of her uncle saved her. She was daredevil and fearless. At last she managed to

come back to India persuading the Taliban that as being an Indian she had right to go back in her

own country. After that harrowing escape from Afghanistan she came to India and she was living

in Kolkata with her husband and at that time she wrote the book Kabuliwala’s Bengali Wife and

which was the best seller of that time. When she was again preparing to go back to Afghanistan

her neighbours asked her whether she was not afraid to go again. She smiled saying that there

66

was no reason to afraid. She went though we did not know why, but she went and that

unbelievable thing happened. She was shot dead outside a Madrasa in Afghanistan riddled at

least twenty bullets. And the news said that she was raped before her murder. It was assumed

that they took revenge as she wrote about them in her book. She was being warned quite a

number of times by the Taliban. They also told that they would give her punishment if she did

not check herself. But being fearless she was trying to improve the condition of women and after

coming back in India she told that women’s lives were still circumscribed but situation was

getting better. When she approached to go there for the second time her family was against her

going back. They reminded her that the Taliban would not leave her if she went. Now we might

think what would be the reason of their anger upon her. The reason might be that she wanted to

expose them in her later books and wanted to show the readers how Afghanistan was faring

under democracy. She was not a trained doctor but she used to give woman medicine based on

her own reading and she got success in that work. Her small medical store in her house was a

lifeline for many women in Afghanistan who used to die without medicine and doctor and their

husbands were careless regarding the matter. Because if they died their husbands would bring

new bride within a few days. That was the rule of the country. Sushmita Banerjee was also

documenting the lifestyle of the women in Afghanistan. The Taliban as well as Afghani men

were against the progression of medical science and they warned Sushmita Banerjee time and

again and she did not stop her noble work. She showed throughout her life that a girl could do

anything if she was firm at her decision. “She showed us how a Bengali girl could stand up

against the Taliban fatwa” (Ujjwal Chatterjee, director of escape from Taliban). All her efforts

went in ashes when she was shot dead by the Taliban on 5th

September 2013. Though that was

still a mystery whether the Taliban murdered her or she was murdered by her own husband.

Because it was said that her husband had an extra marital relationship with one of his relatives. U

might ask me why did I choose this work as my dissertation topic. I chose it because I was

driven by the mystery of her life, her struggle and I also wanted to figure and refigure her point

of view in contrast with mine. And that was a small try from my side to make justice with the

piece.

The Influence of Ambivalence Sexism and Victim Blaming on the Perception

of Dating Violence Victims

Daniar Bella Amandasari & Margaretha

Faculty of Psychology Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya

Perception about victim in dating violence affects attitudes and helping behavior of the observer

given to the victim. This study aimed to study the effect of ambivalent sexism (hostile sexism and

benevolent sexism) and victim blaming toward the perception of dating violence victim. Hostile

sexism sees women as weak creatures and need help from men; meanwhile, benevolent sexism

views women as superior to men. Attribution blame to the victim is known as victim blaming,

which includes to attribution error that occur when individual emphasizes personal attribution

and ignores the attribution of the environment when assessing others. The perception of dating

violence victim is the observer’s impression to the victim’s gender roles. With 299 samples of

high school students in Sidoarjo, this study assessed study variables by using Extended

Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (EASI; Mikolajczak, 2015), Domestic Violence Blame Scale

(DVBS; Petretic-Jackson dkk., 1994), and Victim Vignette containing portrait, scenarios, and

scales as a measure of perception of dating violence victim. One Way ANOVA Test, Pearson

Correlation, Multiple Regression Analysis, and Hierarchical Regression Analysis were used for

analyzing data. The result from this study show that benevolent sexism positively influenced the

perception of dating violence victim (β = 0,19, p < 0,05). In addition, participants with higher

benevolent sexism reported to view dating violence victim in a more traditional view. The

relevance of this study will be discussed further.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the replenishment time of each buyers and basic period of vendor

as a production duration, so as to minimize the average total costs (including ordering, inventory

holding, and setup costs) in the planning horizon, while the vendor can cover all the buyers’

demand. Assuming the demand of each buyer is known, we are concerned with the optimal

replenishment strategy using a vendor managed inventory and consignment (VMI & CS) policy

in a supply chain with a single vendor and multiple buyers. We study two kinds of vendor-buyers

partnership: (1) the vendor has a VMI & CS partnership with buyers, and (2) the vendor and the

buyers belong to the same vertically integrated firm. For both scenario, we formulate a mixed

binary integer programming model under Power-of-Two (PoT) Policy in which all the integer

multiples must be a PoT integer. We evaluated the effectiveness of PoT Policy by comparing the

obtained solutions with the models in the literature. Our results showed that the proposed PoT

model may bring solutions outperform the models in the literature with an improvement of more

than 40% for some of our tested examples.

Abstract

One of the decisions determining whether customers will admire the product is the degree of

product complexity to mostly attractive customers. Product complexity results from the overall

product features presentation, the greater the number of features, the more complex the product,

and vice versa. Practically, enterprises already know not only simple products but also complex

products do not necessarily attract customers. No existing approach can guide enterprises to

determine the most suitable level of product complexity. This study intends to propose a

quantitative mathematical model to compute product complexity based on product features, and

then link product complexity to product attractiveness to the customer.

Abstract

The advantages of creating novel knowledge from within an enterprise are to create the core

knowledge of the enterprise directly, and to easily protect the commercial confidentialities. The

present study develops a mathematical model that utilizes team collaboration for the creation of

novel knowledge, and the model takes into account the knowledge complexity and the knowledge

level of each participant, and the knowledge correlation between existing knowledge and the target

knowledge. Furthermore, the contribution of team collaboration on the creation of novel

knowledge, growth of the novel knowledge of participants, the time required to enhance

knowledge, and the total time required to create the target knowledge can be quantified with the

model.

Abstract

In the 21st century, the warehousing industry has become strategically important to businesses as

a source of competitive advantage and to advanced nations’ economies as a backbone of supply

chain systems. While there is a great deal of literature exploring individual operations within

warehouses, such as warehouse layout and design, order picking, etc., there is very little research

addressing warehouse operations from a systems approach.

This study uses the Theory of Constraints (TOC) to develop a focused resource management

approach to increasing warehouse capacity and throughput, and thus overall warehouse

performance, in an environment of limited warehouse resources. TOC was originally developed

for reducing operational bottlenecks in manufacturing through a rigid sequence of steps and

algorithms, later called the logistics paradigm of TOC. With time, an additional paradigm,

thinking processes, was introduced to apply the advantages of TOC – the systems approach and a

focus on a single bottleneck – to business settings outside the manufacturing floor. However,

TOC has never been applied to warehousing, even though there is anecdotal evidence of

informal application of its elements in warehouses in some parts of the world.

This study further develops TOC’s logistics paradigm and empirically tests it using survey data,

which was collected from a sample of warehouse managers. Traditional, nonautomated

warehouses are far more flexible than manufacturing plants and do not have the rigid flows of

material. To take that into consideration, instead of focusing on the process bottlenecks, the

logistics paradigm was adapted to apply to factors on which they depend - key warehouse

resources that determine the capacity and throughput of a warehousing operation. The strict

algorithms were replaced with a hierarchy of steps that management can use to overcome key

resources shortage. The hierarchy is based on the military or management treatment of

functioning levels: tactical, operational and strategic. These levels differ on the degree of cost,

and implementation time and effort. The original logistics paradigm step of resources tradeoff is

also preserved. Additionally, the systems approach dictates a look at the system interfaces. A

coordination of inbound and outbound material flows with supply chain partners can alleviate

internal constraints of the warehouse. Thus, external scheduling coordination becomes another

management solution to warehouse operation bottlenecks.

74

Unlike with the original algorithm of the five focusing steps, the tactical, operational and

strategic focused resource capacity management categories, the resources tradeoff category and

the external scheduling coordination are not a prescribed sequence of steps to follow but the

tools available to the warehouse manager to use in any order or combination. However, the

systems approach and the single focus on the bottleneck are preserved from the original theory.

We found full empirical confirmation of the suggested modification to the logistics paradigm of

TOC when tested by the regression analysis and the partial least squares method. The findings of

the study confirm that TOC’s methods of focused resource capacity management and material

flow scheduling coordination with supply chain partners can be an important approach for

warehouse managers to use in overcoming resource capacity constraints to increase warehouse

performance. From the theoretical contribution perspective, this study has accomplished the

transition from the original, computer algorithm-like sequence of steps and rigid techniques of

TOC to more traditional, conceptual constructs supported by actual industry practices and

suitable for empirical research.

Additionally, this modification of the logistics paradigm of TOC may offer solutions to problems

beyond warehousing for settings where process constraints result from bottlenecks in key

resources.

Abstract

The free economy of capitalism has been the driving force of economic development around the

world. Although it has effectively increased the GDP for numerous nations, the free economy has

nevertheless led to some undesirable side-effects from the obsessive pursuit for economic growth.

Given the situation, many experts and scholars have proposed the concept of third-party

economics with social enterprises as a means to compensate and resolve relevant social problems

brought about by excessive development. Although social enterprises derive from benevolent

intentions, their capacity to become self-sufficient to achieve sustainability remains questionable.

And as such, this research has taken Children We Care Foundation as a case study to perform

relevant analysis using Taiwan Values, Attitudes and Lifestyles (TVALS) to examine Children

Are Us Foundation.

Results of the analyses revealed that at present, Children Are Us Foundation still relies on

donation as the primary source of income with monotonous means of marketing and promotion.

In order to achieve effective marketing that would target the primary consumers in the TVALS

model, the foundation ought to integrate suitable media exposure and more intuitive visible

charity to engage consumers in the positive consumption cycle of involvement and cause

marketing. The study also suggests competent authorities to make an effort to identify the

difficulties and challenge in the transition for non-profit social enterprises and operators of

sheltered workshops in order to facilitate comprehensive consideration and assistance in the

process of social enterprise legislation.

1. Background

Although the smartphone brings conveniences to people’s daily lives, it is also associated in

certain cases with patterns of problematic usage involving negative outcomes. Previous studies

focus on antecedents and contextual factors associated with users who exhibit problematic

smartphone usage (e.g., Hong, Chiu, and Huang, 2012; Lee et al., 2014). However, smartphone

usage is a social behavior instead of an individual’s behavior. Like diseases, behaviors can be

“caught.” Scholars have found support for behavioral contagion within organizations for both

positive (e.g., Mayer, et al., 2009) and negative behaviors (e.g., Mawritz et al., 2012).

In the current research, we are interested in the effects of problematic smartphone use on

observers. Building on the contagion metaphor, we argue that problematic smartphone behaviors

spread like the common cold, in that they are widely dispersed, easy to catch, and do not require

a specific type of group identity to spread them.

2. Results and Conclusions

In Study 1, We show that seeing videos depicting problematic usage (vs. ordinary usage)

activates a semantic network of related concepts in individuals’ minds and that this activation

makes those people responded faster to words related to problematic usage. In Study 2, we

further demonstrate that the contagion effect of problematic smartphone use is independent of

the peer’s identity (whether the peer is an in-group friend or out-group stranger).

We contribute to the evolving stream of smartphone usage research in two ways. First, we

examine the contagious effects of smartphone usage and propose that such contagious effects can

be both conscious and unconscious. Second, we propose that the contagious effects will occur

whether the initiator of problematic smartphone usage is an in-group or out-group member. In

summary, our findings suggest that the phenomenon of problematic smartphone use could carry

major consequences for other people and perhaps for society as a whole.

Nursing Department, St. Mary’s Junior College of Medicine, Nursing and Management, Taiwan



Nursing is a demanding profession with prolonged levels of stress. Clinical learning is

challenging for junior college of nursing students. The learning process of nursing students in the

clinical area is essential to ensure that maximum benefits are gained from this aspect of nursing

education. This study was to use descriptive research to explore the experience of nursing

students in internship in Taiwan.


Based on participant’s practical experiences in the clinical setting, Analysis of interview showed

four main themes.

3.1 The first theme was “Unable to control clinical practical stress”, including “feel discouraged

and helpless in clinical practice”, “professional knowledge is not enough”, “bear the stress from

people, works and environment”, and “want to give up internship”.

3.2 The second theme was “Use resources and get the balance of life”, including “strengthen

themselves before internship”, “looking for the solutions actively”, “establish a law of

coexistence with others”, and “seeking a way to release stress”.

3.3 The third theme was “Actively engaged in internship life” including “encourage themselves

into clinical practice”, “adjust the gap between reality and expectation”, “think of the difficulties

as a matter of course”, and “convert negative emotions into supportive power”.

3.4 The forth theme was “Clinical experience was the cornerstone of nursing career”, including

“insist on nursing care”, “accumulate clinical practical experience”, and “enhance

self-confidence”.

Negative experiences in the clinical setting often hindered learning and had a greater impact on

students’ attitudes and confidence in the future. The results will be expected to provide nursing

education a good suggestion.

Abstract

Background

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is an essential investigation used in evaluating the degree and type

of hearing loss. The convenient methods to teach PTA among medical students are the practical

sessions and lectures. However, due to busy clinic time and overflow of patients, the PTA

teaching is not optimized during clinical sessions. Accordingly, the students’ experience of PTA

can be affected. To rectify this issue, there is a need to have an alternative method to enhance the

learning process. In the first phase of study, the feasibility of using smartphones with an APPs

simulating PTA to support the teaching and learning process was studied. In particular, the

effectiveness of APPs as an educational tool to improve students’ knowledge in basic audiology

testing and interpretation, as well as to enhance their soft skills in hands-on sessions was

evaluated. In the second phase of study, the usefulness of APPs as a hearing screening tool was

determined.

Conclusion and Contributions

As revealed, the APPs in smart phone can be used conveniently as a supportive method to

enhance the traditional teaching in clinical sessions among medical students. Due to its

simplicity and reliability, it may overcome the current teaching limitations (inadequate clinical

exposures). The APPs was also found to be highly reliable as a hearing screening tool. In this

regard, it can be used by “front-line” healthcare personnel such as nurses or para-medical staff

members for the early detection of hearing loss as it is simple to run, quick, accurate and

cost-effective in a long run. Nevertheless, the current APPs would only serve as a preliminary

investigating tool and referrals for clinical diagnostic testing are still required for more accurate

diagnoses.

Fault-Tree Analysis of Bidirectional dc-to-dc Converter

1. Background

Recently, a propulsion motor of electric vehicle is being designed with high voltage for

efficiency improvement. Therefore, MCU (Motor Control Unit) adopts a bidirectional dc-to-dc

converter in front of inverter for motor drive to boost the battery voltage. However, in general, an

increase in parts causes an increase in the failure rate. Especially in systems where safety is a top

priority, such as electric vehicles, it is necessary to analyze the change in the failure rate

beforehand and incorporate it into the design. For this purpose, this paper examines the expected

failure rate change of MCU by performing FMEA and FTA of bidirectional dc-to-dc converter.

2. Results

In this paper, The failure rate of the bidirectional dc-to-dc converter is calculated as 0.3195

Failures/104 hours in step-up mode, and 0.3175 Failures/10

4 hours in step-down mode. The final

failure rate was analyzed as 0.637 Failures/104 hours. The failure rate of the DSP controller, The

Gate amp, the power MOSFET, the diode, the inductor and the capacitor, which were considered

as the main cause of the failure, was used to find the failure rate using MIL-STD-217 and

FMD97, and the failure rate of the remaining parts was assumed as 0.002 Failures/104 hours. The

above results provide useful data that can numerically analyze the change in reliability when

changing the MCU design of an electric vehicle.

1. Background

When power converter design in an electric vehicle (EV) is modified, reliability analysis is very

important because the reliability of EV is directly related to human life. Recently, in an electric

vehicle adopting a high-voltage motor for improving efficiency, a bidirectional dc-to-dc

converter is inserted in front of MCU (Motor Control Unit) to step-up the dc-link capacitor

voltage, and a step-down operation of charging the regenerative energy of the motor into the

propulsion battery. In the step-up mode, the dc-link voltage rises to 680V, so a capacitor with a

high working voltage is required. In this case, the cost of the MCU is increased due to the

increase of the capacitor cost. The modified converter proposed in [1] can be used as a design

alternative to reduce the working voltage of the dc-link capacitor while having the same

characteristics as the conventional bidirectional converter. However, in order to apply it to an

electric vehicle MCU, it is necessary to ensure reliability according to the design change.

Therefore, this paper numerically analyzes the failure rate change by FTA (Fault-Tree Analysis)

when the conventional bidirectional converter is replaced by modified converter.

2. Results

The failure rate of a capacitor reflecting the voltage stress factor is changed from 0.002022

[Failures/104hours] to 0.0008733 [Failures/10

4hours]. Therefore, the failure rate of modified

bidirectional converter is calculated as 0.631 [Failures/104hours]. It can be seen that 0.002

[Failures/104hours] improvement compared to 0.633 [Failures/10

4hours], which is the

conventional converter failure rate.

Abstract

The goal of this research is to make thin composites composed of nano-fibers, including Carbon

Nanotube (CNT) and vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCF). The CNT and VGCF are about 20 and

100 nm in diameter, respectively, and both are hollow and highly ordered in the graphitic

structure. A two-step approach was adopted, making CNT/VGCF films and impregnating epoxy

resin. A vacuum-assisted compressive molding was used for resin impregnation along the

thickness direction. No dispersion of the nano-fibers within resin is needed. Because of this, the

composite can reach a high fiber content, at least 10 w.%, which is virtually impossible by using

traditional dispersion approaches. The resulting composites are unique in some features. This

approach avoids dispersing CNTs/VGCFs in viscous resin and allows a much denser packing in

the composite. The nano-fibers are oriented and entangled in planar directions. Because of the

2D entanglement, this composite is exceptionally flexible. This work examines the processing

characteristics, the resulting micro-structures, and the fracture behavior. Tests include tension,

folding, and tearing. The fractured sections were examined by high-resolution SEMs and the

mechanisms of fracture are discussed.

Industrial Engineering Department, King Mongkut’s University of Technology, Thailand * E-mail: [email protected]

Abstract

The agricultural product is one of the core business sectors in Thailand since it makes huge

incomes for the country. However, transformation processes of agricultural products generate

various wastes and these wastes generate disposal problems to concerned areas. This research

aims to use some wastes such as coffee ground, tea waste, and copra meal for producing a useful

enzyme called mannanase which is used in many biochemical processes mostly in food and

detergent industries. There are four concerned factors, which are waste sources, inoculum

percentages, temperature and speed. Since each of which has multi-level, a general factorial

experiment is then conducted to study the effect of each factor and also to determine a suitable

condition of the factors to obtain the maximum enzyme activity. The result shows that using

1%(v/v) of inoculum, 37 C, and 200 rpm, tea waste obtains higher mannanase enzyme activity

than coffee ground and copra meal. Although, the level of mannanase enzyme activity obtained

from tea waste is significant lower than using a commercial source called locust bean gum

(LBG), but we can use the tea waste for producing the mannanase enzyme activity for free

instead of buying LBG. The contribution of this research is not only to reduce the mannanase

production cost but also be a guideline for waste management strategy.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate a guideline for constructing a learning package in which music –

namely the songs honoring King Bhumibol Adulyadej – is applied as a medium to improve the

Thai language skills of foreigners.

The findings reveal that the songs honoring King Bhumibol Adulyadej are valuable in terms of

their similarity to eulogies. The songs reflect the importance of kings in Thai society, and

working principles including understanding, accessibility, and development. The principles are

associated with constructing a learning package aligned with a student-centered approach.

Therefore, constructing a learning package in which the songs honoring King Bhumibol

Adulyadej are applied leads to the study of kings and Thai society, and the improvement of Thai

language skills among foreigners.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to bring forth the Thai Conversation textbook for Indian employees

in Thailand. From the beginning India and Thailand have good diplomatic relations. There were

transnational trades and investments that were supported by governments. Both countries are

important business partners. Nowadays there are many Indian nationals who work in

transnational companies in Thailand and need to use the Thai language for communication

within and outside the organizations. The purpose of this textbook is to create interest in learning

Thai language among Indian nationals who play a major role in the Thai economy. Current

bilateral policies have created an investment friendly environment for Indian companies and

overpopulation and unemployment in India results in job seeking and employment for Indian

nationals in Thailand. Learning Thai language skills would be required for greater opportunities,

promotions and long-term contracts for Indian employees. Listening and speaking skills are

necessary for communications classified in 3 fields communication in daily life, at work place

and to deepen cross culture understanding. The key reason in creating this Thai conversation

textbook is to develop Thai language communication skills, and make the Thai language process

easy for Indian employees.

The African University in a Globalized Knowledge Economy: A Quest for

Knowledge for Public Good Agenda

Amasa P. Ndofirepi

Faculty of Education, University of Johannesburg, South Africa


Abstract

This presentation proffers a theoretical exposé of the location of an African university in a

globalised knowledge economy. Traditionally, higher education in general and university

knowledge education has been rendered a public good, adding to society through educating

citizens, improving human capital, encouraging civil involvement and boosting economic

development. Universities in the modern era live in the global economy of knowledge

characterised by a defined topography of production and circulation and revolve around a

hegemonic centre domiciled in the knowledge institutions of the global North. There is an

escalation of redefining contemporary universities advancing monetised knowledge and their

place in the development of human capital to drive economic development. The question then is:

Is Newman’s idea of the university still relevant in the 21st century Africa? I demonstrate how

the African university faces a real dilemma of a cross-wind between the type of agenda it ought

to have developed to meet the mission for whom post-colonial African governments invested in

these institutions, and the institutions’ own desire to increase their visibility in the global

academic space. I argue that with the intrusion and subsequent imposition of Western scientific

ideas and methods, local knowledges have often been denigrated or peripherised. I conclude that

the neoliberal knowledge based economics circumscribed in the globalisation mantra has eroded

the knowledge for public good agenda for African universities.

5Ps: A Web-Mediated Pre-Instruction Model in Science

Sylvester Tan-Cortes

Cebu Technological University, Philippines


Abstract

The goal of the paper is to design a pre-instruction model termed as 5Ps which are series of five

events of instruction incorporating multimedia available in the web. The rationale is to prime

students with prior knowledge preparing them to accommodate new scientific concepts during

formal instruction. The pre-instruction involves tasks such as reading online articles, watching

videos, operating simulations and performing experiments in virtual laboratories from reputable

websites. Its effects on concept understanding (CU) with the inclusion of self-regulation skills

(SRS) and motivation towards learning science (MTLS) to 50 tenth grade students is then

assessed by employing quasi-experimental research design. It utilizes pre-test and post-test

scheme conducted in a counter balance approach to validate experimental results. The results

from different statistical analyses such as paired-samples and independent-samples t-test, and

ANCOVA) revealed that the pre-instruction augments CU, SRS, and MTLS. Further, positive

learning experiences were noted during focus group discussion on the pre-instruction model.

The Revised Secondary Teacher Education Curriculum (CMO No. 75, s. 2017)

vis-à-vis the Hiring Qualifications for SHS Teachers

Sylvester T. Cortes, Heidi A. Pineda

Cebu Technological University – Main Campus, Philippines


Abstract

This theoretical gap analysis assesses the alignment of the revised teacher education curriculum

and the qualifications for SHS teaching positions. The analysis is guided with Technological

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) Framework for teachers by Mishra and Koeler (2006)

matching four artefacts to examine such alignment. The revised policies, standards and

guidelines for BSEd (CHED Memo No. 75, s. 2017) is matched with the technology,

pedagogical, and content knowledge requirements for SHS teaching positions reflected in the

Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST), hiring guidelines for SHS teaching

positions, and strand scheduling of subjects respectively. Results reveal that in terms of

technology knowledge, an alignment between revised curriculum and PPST is notable but

becomes potentially at risk of being misaligned when technology for teaching and learning

courses are matched with SHS subjects because both courses failed to regard extensive list of

other technologies applicable for STEM education and their periodically altering landscape. The

new teacher education curriculum also responds well to the pedagogical requirement of

becoming a SHS teacher except for a major drawback. That is providing inappropriate clinical

experiences. As to content courses, the revised teacher education curriculum excludes some

courses very relevant to SHS teaching especially in science education. Hence, it is anticipated

that pre-service teachers would teach SHS subjects despite having inadequate training. These

results imply the need to add an additional year to the existing curriculum to intensify content,

pedagogy, and technology training for pre-service SHS teachers if the program is intended for

both use (i.e. JHS and SHS teaching preparation) or open a new program instead.

Abstract.

In this article, we propose approaches for confidence interval estimation for single

signal-to-noise ratio of log-normal distribution. Performance of all approaches are compared in

terms of the coverage probability and average length using Monte Carlo simulations for varying

values of the SNRs and sample sizes. Simulation studies demonstrate that the GCI approach

perform well in terms of the coverage probability and the average length. Simulations show that

the GCI approach is recommended for the confidence interval estimation for the single

signal-to-noise ratio and the difference of signal-to-noise ratios of two log-normal distributions.

At the end, the proposed approaches are illustrated using two examples.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide three approaches for constructing confidence intervals for

the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of gamma distribution based on large sample approach, Wald

approach, and Score approach. We compare these approaches in terms of coverage probability

An Improved Correlation Side-Peak Suppression Method Based on

Front-Back Sub-Carrier Pulses for Galileo/GPS Communications

Keunhong Chae, Seokho Yoon*

College of Information and Communication Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Korea *E-mail: [email protected]


In tracking of the binary offset carrier (BOC) modulated signals used most widely for

Galileo/GPS communications, the correlation side-peaks causing an ambiguity are the most

serious obstacles. Generally, extrinsic signals [1]-[2] were employed to suppress the side-peaks

at the cost of complexity. In [3], on the other hand, the sub-carrier of the BOC signals, which is

one of the intrinsic components of the BOC, was used in the suppression, offering a better

tracking performance than those of [1] and [2]; however, still having a high degree of complexity.

In this paper, so, we propose a new side-peak suppression scheme using only the front-back

pulses (FBP) of the sub-carrier, instead of the whole pulse set of the sub-carrier within the

pseudo-noise (PN) code chip duration used in [3], thus lowering the complexity significantly. In

simulations, the proposed scheme is observed to have a superior tracking performance to that of

[3] when the two schemes are set to have a similar complexity.

2. Expected Results / Conclusion / Contribution

Figs. 2(a) and 2(b) show the standard deviations of tracking errors (SDTE) of sine-phased BOC

signals for the proposed and conventional correlation functions with Ts=Tc/2 and Tc/4,

respectively, when x=0.05, where a significant improvement in tracking accuracy of the proposed

correlation function is clearly found over the conventional ones. It is noteworthy that the

complexity of [3] was adjusted to be similar to the complexity of the proposed scheme by

assuming that each of sub-carrier pulses is split into only two parts. As shown in Fig. 2(c), in

addition, the SDTE decreases as the value of x gets smaller as mentioned earlier, and a further

study on the optimization of x will be conducted in a sequel paper.

Abstract

Fragrances are becoming indispensable to human life for its effects such as relaxing effect, ease

of stress, and increasing concentration. However, with the existing products, it is difficult to find

a fragrance suitable for each of the users. In this study, making of the fragrance composition was

done by mixing various aroma oils with certain ratios was decided by the Interactive Genetic

Algorithm. An olfactory display was used as a mixing device for fragrance, containing 12 aroma

oils. The objective is to create the most “relaxing” fragrance suited to each user’s preference. The

user evaluated the created fragrance and finally obtained the most relaxing fragrance suitable for

the user in comparison with the initial condition.

Abstract

One method for obtaining music that a user desires is music retrieval. As a method of retrieving

music, several researches on the music retrieval system by humming the melody of music have

already been proposed. Actual example is included in a remote controller of karaoke machine

and a mobile terminal application. However, since these methods require active input by the user,

there is a restriction that it cannot be used unless the user knows the melody of the desired music

in advance. For the reason, in this research, we propose a method to generate a melody for each

user using Interactive Genetic Algorithm (experiment 1) and retrieve music that is similar to the

melody (experiment 2). If these two experiments go well, it will be possible to provide music

which reflects user’s preference even if the user does not have anything.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of your speed sign on highway no.4 within the

Hua Hin Municipality, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand. The vehicle speed in several decision

ranges was conducted by radar speed gun and the spot speed distribution was utilized to explore

the vehicle speed behavior while approach and departed from your speed sign. The 2 locations of

the your speed sign on highway no. 4 inbound direction was chosen as study area. The result

indicated that the speed behavior was different on each location, vehicle tend to use high speed

in the outward region more than the central region. The your speed sign likely had consequence

for vehicles. Most of the vehicle tend to decrease their operating speed while approach to the

your speed sign and the effected location was 250 meters prior to the your speed sign however,

the driver decided to accelerate again after departed the your speed sign. The contrasting

outcome has been occurred while compared with the speed limit addressed by local government.

The finding shows that the 85th percentile speed of vehicle was higher than speed limit both in

outward region and central region. In summary, this study concluded that even though the your

speed sign have got some benefit by slightly reduce the vehicle speed however, it still not able to

control the operating speed lower than the speed limit. Therefore, the suggested solutions to

mitigate the speeding situation in study area especially within the central region included the

improvement of physical geometry by adding the rumble strip with appropriated distance and

importantly combine with law enforcement program. The contribution of this study will lead to

assess the efficiency of the your speed sign and accident risk on the highway no.4 within Hua

Hin Municipality, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to compare the efficiency of the widely used X-bar and S control

charts for monitoring mean and standard deviation of skewed processes. Three methods used to

construct the control charts are the weighted variance (WV) method, the parametric bootstrap

(PB) method and the classical Shewhart method. The control charts obtained by the three

methods are compared in terms of type I error rates when the distributions of the underlying

process are Weibull, lognormal and gamma with different parameters and sample sizes. The

results from simulation studies show that the control charts form the PB method outperform

those from the WV and Shewhart methods for the processes with skewed distributions.

Abstract

The tourism industry is one of the most important and significant economic sector in Mongolia

because it provides huge source of income to Mongolia. Tourists attracted to Mongolia due to

the wild nature, nomadic lifestyle and it is a tradition and the legendary history of “Genghis

khan”. Most important push motivation of international tourists toward Mongolia is a holiday

called “Naadam” which is one of the biggest holidays in Mongolia where travelers can enjoy

activities namely, traditional wrestling, horse racing and archery lasts for 5 days starting from

July 11 to 16.

Mongolian travel and tourism have directly supported 16,500 jobs in 2014. This expected to rise

by 2.6% to 22,000 jobs in 2025. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the

international tourists’ effect of pull and push motivation toward travel satisfaction and

destination loyalty in Mongolia and the relationship between them. A pilot test with 105

respondents conducted first in June 2017 and formal test with 385 respondents conducted in

November and December 2017. The questionnaire consisted of five main sections: 1. Tourist

demographic (8 items) 2. Push motivation (15 items) 3. Pull motivation (13 items) 4. Travel

satisfaction (4 items) 5. Destination loyalty (5 items). The questionnaire study conducted via

online. The study with 385 samples tested by using research methods including descriptive

analysis, and factor analysis and reliability test. The tests analyzed on Statistical Package for

Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 software. As a result, push and pull motivation had effected

the travel satisfaction directly, and to destination royalty positively indirectly.

Two-Criteria Replacement Policy with Cumulative Repair Cost Limit for

Two-Unit System Subject to Failure Rate Interaction

Department of Business Administration, Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology


Abstract

A two-unit system is subject to failure rate interaction that occurs according the following

scheme. Each failure in unit-1 leads the failure rate of unit-2 to increase, whereas each failure in

unit-2 makes unit-1 fail simultaneously, resulting in a total failure of the system. When unit-1

fails, if the cumulative repair cost till to this failure is less than the limit L, then unit-1 is repaired.

We consider a two-criteria replacement policy based on system age and the number of unit-1

failure, combining the concept of cumulative repair cost limit. The optimal policy on two control

parameters T and n is studied analytically to show their existence, uniqueness, and structural

properties. This work is a generalization of several existing models in the literature. A numerical

example is presented to show several useful insights.

Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for the Large-Scale Waste Collection Vehicle

Routing Problems Considering Multiple Disposal Trips

Department of Industrial Engineering, Yonsei University, Republic of Korea

The Waste Collection Vehicle Routing Problem (WCVRP) is more complicated than the general Vehicle Routing

Problem (VRP) due to the many constraints to be considered. For example, waste collection vehicles gather waste

visiting demand points and must visit landfill when it is full of waste. Also, some of the waste collection companies

may have restaurants around the depot and returning to the depot due to a lunch break can be considered. In this

paper, we propose a new Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model suitable for WCVRP. The objective of

the model is to minimize the transportation costs incurred during the waste collection process. We also develop a

meta-heuristic algorithm for solving large scale problems. In particular, we developed an efficient algorithm even in

large-scale cases of 3,000 bins, which are larger instances than those used in the existing WCVRP study.


In this study, we propose a new MILP model for WCVRP with multiple vehicle and multiple depot under the

consideration of lunch break and disposal trip that were not considered in previous research. Also a hybrid genetic

algorithm is developed to deal with large scale problems. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms,

numerical experimental environments are created according to the number of vehicles and the number of bins, and

experiments are conducted on arbitrary data sets. We evaluate the algorithm performance and computation time

while varying the initial solution, genetic algorithm parameter value, and algorithm operator. The initial solution is

obtained by random, nearest neighbor heuristic, etc., and it is confirmed that the initial solution has an important

effect on the performance of the algorithm. If the scale of the problem is large, it is efficient to partition the bin

groups to provide good performance within reasonable computation time. We compare results using local

optimization algorithms such as the iterated swap procedure and the Lin-Kernighan algorithm to find a good

solution. Appropriate genetic algorithm parameter values are generated according to the scale of the problem. Also,

the proposed hybrid genetic algorithm is compared with the proposed MILP model, and it is confirmed that the

hybrid genetic algorithm is superior to the greedy algorithm.

Future research plans are to reflect constraints such as vehicle speed, traffic information, and the time window of the

waste bins. In addition, there is an additional objective of minimizing waste flooding and balancing the workload of

the vehicle. Finally, it is necessary to improve the algorithm so that the good solution can be generated more

efficiently through comparing with the other meta-heuristic algorithm.

Multi-Echelon Joint Economic Lot Size Model for a First Tier Supplier with

Sequential Processes

E-mail: [email protected] a, bd.chung@ yonsei.ac.kr

b


In Korea, some first tier suppliers do not use the JIT system and have enough safety inventories due to urgent or

uncertain orders from automotive manufacturers. In the recent study, it is currently studying a multi-echelon supply

chain system operated by domestic first tier supplier. Most studies have been conducted on a two-echelon supply

chain that includes only suppliers and distributors but there is not much research on supply chain systems in three or

more echelon. We consider a three echelon supply chain operations problem focusing on the first tier manufacturer

conducting three sequential processes including blanking, pressing and assembly. This paper aims to jointly

determine economic lot size for each process and safety stock level so that total supply chain cost can be minimized.


The experiments are conducted based on the actual data from Company A, a first tier domestic supplier. We select an

appropriate item to experiment with, not all items of Company A. Based on the situation of Company A, we can

identify the appropriate level of safety inventory for the minimum cost and determine the proper lot size.

Company A currently has a large lot size in order to minimize the number of setup. Through the experiments, we

expect to calculate economic lot size that is smaller than the current lot size. This reduces production quantity,

average inventory level to minimize the total cost. By determining the appropriate lot size for each process, the

optimal lot size ratio between processes can be calculated.

The first contribution of this study is the consideration of three echelon supply chain with first tier part manufacturer

for determining joint economic lot size, while most previous studies made up of two stage supply chains. Second,

we considered a penalty cost appropriate to the manufacturer's situation. The primary purpose of the first tier

supplier is to meet the demands of the automobile manufacturer. To consider the importance of demand fulfillment,

we considered penalty cost as one element of total supply chain cost from the perspective of a first tier supplier. In

addition, the company must maintain safety stock to meet uncertain demand. For this, additional penalty cost is

added in the case of not maintaining the safety stock level. Finally, we developed an efficient algorithm to solve the

problem.

For further research, several vendors can be used to perform supply chain analysis on a process-by-process basis.

Second, it is possible to study not only the demand for the final process, but also the complicated situation in which

semi-finished products produced during the manufacturing process can be converted into demand. Finally, we can

determine the lot size by considering the number and area of palette.

As science has developed, aspects of the war have changed, and advanced weapon system of

astronomical amount of money has been introduced. However, person's life has value that cannot

be converted into amount. In the case of the Korean peninsula, the specificity of the operation

cannot help but show the conflict between the troops. As a result, the loss of human life is also

substantial. This study discusses the optimal alternatives of the battle situation in the Military

Demarcation Line (MDL).


This study finds the optimal strategy to achieve each objective function. First, in order to achieve

the maximum survival force, the withdrawal time is determined to have similar losses on both

areas when the enemy is weaker than the enemy. In order to achieve the first objective function,

the commander must analyze the enemy military strength and the friendly military strength, and

then withdraw from the first battle to the level where the commander can sufficiently neutralize

the enemy in the next battle. Also, if the size of the enemy is known and the troops can be

allocated, it can be seen that the deployment and withdrawal time are decided so that the troops

are concentrated in one place and the enemy forces lose their troops per hour and end. On the

other hand, if friendly troops are disadvantaged, the commander appears to engage in battle until

it becomes impossible to fight any strategy.

Secondly, in order to achieve the second objective function, the commander takes time to engage

as long as possible in the first battle, where the enemy attack efficiency is relatively low, in order

to maximize battle time. Also, if the size of the enemy is known and the troops can be allocated,

the maximum number of enemy troops will be allocated to the first battlefield where the attack

efficiency is low.

This study confirm the change of survival history and battle time according to the commander's

simple strategy. It can be seen that this simple strategy alone can protect human life that cannot

be converted into money. Simulation of the military demarcation battle in accordance with the

war scenarios present the optimal proposal. We separate the space and solve the optimization

problem by applying the Lanchester’s law over time. In addition, detailed alternatives are

presented according to the power difference between the enemy and friendly forces, and the

applicable mogodel is presented in various situations according to the commander's operational

purposes. This study will the commander in the battle to be the logical basis for decision making.

One of the emerging research area, which has received much attention is recent years, is research

related to drone. The development of drones is making a big change in many fields such as

logistics and information technology. Researches on transportation using drones that can be

usually solved by using various traditional methods such as a travelling salesman problem or

vehicle routing problem is proceeding with interest not only in the military but also in many

fields.

However, there are not many researches on observation related drones. Therefore, it is necessary

to study using drones to develop observation of the army that determines the victory and defeat

of the war.


The most important condition for successful operations of military units is available time. That is,

the success of the operation depends on how effectively the military unit used the time available

before the operation.

In order for military forces to effectively use this critical time available, the objective of this

study is to minimize the time that took drone to reconnoiter the entire region. And the goal of this

study is to enable decision-makers of military units operating reconnaissance drones to make the

most efficient drone reconnaissance route, taking into account current conditions of the military

units.

To achieve the goal of the study, first we select several scenarios by changing several conditions

such as the number of drones operated from reconnaissance region, the number of specific

weighted areas, and the location of the drone station. Finally, we compare the objective function

values obtained for each scenario.

Future work in this study would be to provide a more realistic reconnaissance plan for military

unit decision makers by scheduling integrated reconnaissance route that integrated the

characteristics of various information assets that can be operated by military units such as human

information and reconnaissance drone.

1. Objectives and Goals

Historians reopened images of the past with historical data and gradually built their history

through dialogue and dialectical between the present and the past. Due to the interest in modern

Chinese sports and body culture, the researcher particularly care about the article titled ‘Racing

Bike’ published in Dian Shizhai Pictorial in 1897. The article reported that the British in

Shanghai celebrated the Queen Victoria's 60 years of enthronement on a bike ride. At the same

time, a bikle race was held to promote the advantages of the bikes, and to introduce the function

of cycling in military combat. This emphasizes that bikes have an irreplaceable advantage over

rickshaw or carriages. ‘Racing Bike’ with clear description of what happened on that day triggers

this study to further explore the history of the introduction of bicycle into China and its

2. Expected Results

This study initially found that the bike was introduced to China in 1868 and arrived at the

Shanghai Concession for the first time. The number of bikes was very small. By 1927, according

to statistics of vehicles of the Shanghai Municipal Public Administration Bureau, the number of

bikes was 12,000. This data represents that bikes are no longer held by a few people, and it is no

longer a symbol of the upper class. The number of people using bikes was growing, and the road

structure was also changing due to the popularity of bikes. The change in public transport

equipment has also led to the rise of bike dealerships. The statistics of 1928 included Tongchang

Motors, Huafa Motors, Brother Motors, Yunfei Motors, Shengli Motors, Yunxiang Motors, and

Zhenchang Motors. Lines, etc.

In terms of entertainment, bikes began to be listed as performances of various sports games in

the 1920s. For example, bikes performance was held during the half-time break of the Chinese

Martial Arts Championships and provincial and municipal sports meeting. In the competition

sports, since the 1920s, with the increase in the number of bikes in various cities in China, there

has been bike races, such as "Universal Bike Race", "Shanghai Bike Race", "Shanghai Women's

Bike Race" in Shanghai, "Bike Race" in Jiangsu Province, the “Bike Race” organized by the All

China Road Construction Association and the Ministry of Electric Power Bureau.

In view of this, after the appearance of a bike in modern China, it quickly developed at the level

of transportation and sports, and it also affected the habits of the Chinese people in daily life and

their participation in the bike race.

Question is considered one of the most useful tools in human communication (Camiciottoli,

2008). Especially in education, questioning is a fundamental method for teachers to control the

classroom discourse and also facilitate, activate and motivate students and their learning progress

(Cao, 2016). Previous studies have investigated the use of questions under the influence of

different factors and in various contexts. However, questions in dissertation defense, which is a

very unique genre of language in academic context, so far have only attracted the limited

attention from researchers. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate the forms and

functions of questions used in the Question and Answer sessions within dissertation defenses.


Although question is considered a very functional tool in communication and it has been also an

interesting topic for many researchers including analyzing questions under the influence of

language, language proficiency, genders, and contexts, there so far has been limited study

exploring the use of questions in dissertation defenses which is a very special genre of academic

conversation. Therefore, this study expects to establish a category of question forms and function

used dissertation defenses as a response to the gap in research. By comparing forms and functions

of questions in dissertation defenses with those in other contexts, the current study also hopes to

provide a better and systematically understanding about the use of questions in a unique context i.e.

dissertation defenses. From this point, it would contribute to the language pedagogy as a basic

guideline for English language oral skill training.

After 1980s, Hua Yu (1960-), Yan Mo (1955-) and Ping wa Jia (1952-) started avant-garde

literature in China, they through the body, all kinds of organs and the description of sex disclose

political consciousness, and the review of history. In this ideological trend, Jian Ma (1953-) used

the same literature method, but few people research him.


Contrary to the research of Ma Jian (1953-) was ignored by people, it mostly limited to the

commentary which discussed the publications. For example, Wang Der-wei (1953-) proposed the

characteristic of Ma Jian’s literature in a review. For single paper and thesis, Ma Jian’s literature

were not deeply studied by people, especially for The Noodle Maker. That is why I use The

Noodle Maker which was published in 1991 as text. This paper will lead people view the

political consciousness and the emotion of Ma Jian by the body narrative, and also think the

background of shame touch process of his life, expand the memory of history.

Abstract

The election of regional heads in a democratic system requires the participation of citizens to make their choice at

voting day. Each candidate pair of regional heads performs various ways and strategies in order to get the most votes.

The purpose of this study was to obtain data related to the type of fraud that occurred in the election of regional heads

in Riau Province, Indonesia. This study used quantitative method and the data has been collected through

questionnaire from 8,196 respondents in 12 districts/cities throughout Riau Province in Indonesia. The results showed

that there were 18 items of cheating type measured in this study and the results of the study indicated that the highest

type of fraud was the occurrence of money politics before the polling day (mean = 2.14). The phenomenon of money

politics behavior was caused by several factors, namely: (1) low public awareness that money/goods they received

was a form of bribe that can influence society's choice, (2) low level of income society raised hope for the society to

get money (3) Although money politics is a violation of Law Number 10 of 2016 and the amendment of Law Number

8 of 2015 which states that the giver and beneficiary in the practice of money politics can be threatened with 5 years’

imprisonment, the low level of community education caused them to think that receiving money/goods was legal and

did not violate the electoral regulations, (4) Riau Province is a Malay land in Indonesia which are predominantly

Muslim, but a firm ban of Islamic teaching on bribery was still not enough to prevent them from getting involved in

receiving money/goods. The society's behavior toward money politics can be characterized into four types: (1) firmly

refusing the giving of money, (2) receiving and choosing candidates who gave the money/goods, (3) accepting and

choosing candidates who gave more money/goods and (4) receiving money/goods and chose candidates according to

his own choice. Based on these findings, prevented measure can be taken such as strict supervision toward the election,

altering the misconceptions of people's thinking about money politics, improving the welfare of the people and

strengthening Islamic teachings so that every election of the head of the region is prevented from the behavior of

money politics.

The Role of Agency in the Narrative Events of English, Japanese and

Myanmar Language: A Comparative Study Based on Transitivity System

Ei Ei Soe Min

Graduate School of Integrated for Global Society, Kyushu University, Japan



The previous study of Ohori (1997) shows that unlike English, Japanese sometimes encodes

narrative events without human Agents. Myanmar language is also a SOV (Subject, Object, Verb)

language like Japanese and it tends to encode the events as Japanese does. Although the

grammatical system of Japanese and Myanmar cannot be completely the same, the translated

works of narrative from Japanese to Myanmar show that Myanmar language is closely resembled

to the Japanese original works. Henceforth, this comparative study is carried out amongst three

languages; English, Japanese and Myanmar language to investigate the difference between SVO

language; English and SOV languages; Japanese and Myanmar. This study aims to investigate

what is the differences and similarities in the role Agency based on one of the Transitivity

parameters; Agency/A, of Hopper & Thompson (1980). Hopper & Thompson (1980) states, “It

is obvious that participants high in Agency can effect a transfer of an action in a way that those

low in Agency cannot” (p.252). Therefore, in addition, it aims to find out the different

Transitivity preferences each language has analysing the role of Agency.


The analysis on the 45 sentences of the three versions, the result shows that English and

Myanmar hold the same scores of 55 and Japanese holds 52. As far as the data analysis is

concerned, the conclusion might be drawn as the Agency role in Japanese is slightly lower than

English and Myanmar. However, the analysis on 45 sentences could not represent the outcome

dramatically. Therefore, more data need to be analysed and the expected results might show that

English has the highest Agency role amongst the three because it tends to encode the events with

more human pronoun than Japanese and Myanmar. Even though the scores so far, shows that

English and Myanmar hold the same scores, most of the sentences from Myanmar version do not

have as much human subject as English does. Japanese seems to encode the events with the

implied human subject who is not necessarily described in the sentences. Myanmar language

sometimes encodes the events without human subject and the subject is implied from the context

or from the latter sentences as well. However, Myanmar versions tends to have more human

subject than Japanese where Japanese encodes the events with implied human subject or in some

cases no human agent at all. This study hopes to contribute to the typological studies by making

aware of the differences from the grammatical point of view.

Previous study shows that woman looks more attractive when she is having red colored product

with herself. i.e. woman carrying red laptop found to be more attractive in comparison to the

same woman with other color laptop i.e. blue, black or silver. The color red is frequently

associated with sex; many studies have shown that red enhances female sexual attractiveness.

This study was designed in such a way so that we can find that is the previous study/finding was

stable or not. And the second purpose of this study was to know whether the effect or influence

of red colored product is cultural dependent or independent. We have performed experiment in

two different culture/countries that is India and Taiwan.


Taiwanese men find woman with red colored product significantly more attractive, but in case of

sex appeal, beauty and romantic look the mean score is higher although it is non-significantly

higher. This study didn’t get any significant difference regarding attractiveness, sex appeal,

romantic and beauty among the photo of woman holding five different color bottles from the

Indian participants, so this study showed that influence of red colored product is cultural

dependent.

Abstract

We give a theoretical foundation to Friedman’s conjecture that high inflation levels trigger

lasting periods of instability and high market expectations. In a standard monetary model with

endogenous delay in market reactions and punishment, we introduce the notion of

deviation-dependent strategies, and we characterize the set of such strategies that are SPNE. We

then show that, in every such equilibrium, the greater the deviation from expected equilibrium

inflation, the longer the delay to punish, and the longer the punishment periods with high market

expectations.

Abstract

The demand for organic vegetable products in Thailand has been significantly increasing every

year, and these products have been traditionally sold via a traditional market. However, today,

the advent and widespread use of the Internet represents a new way of selling these products and

has generated many new channels for advertising and marketing engagement. Online marketing

is one of the practices of leveraging web-based channels to spread a message about products to

potential customers. However, there are also challenges inherent with online marketing, which

uses primarily digital media to attract, engage, and convert virtual visitors to customers. One of

the primary challenges is to create electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) in a positive way.

Accordingly, this paper investigates the effect of relationship quality practices (customer

satisfaction, customer trust, and customer commitment) on positive eWOM communication in

terms of organic vegetable purchase in Thailand. Following previous studies, we used the (online)

organic vegetable buyer as the unit of analysis for this study. In total, we received 400 usable

responses. Utilizing multiple regression analysis, it was found that both customer satisfaction

and customer trust related positively to positive eWOM communication. However, the evidence

did not support customer commitment to positive eWOM communication. Therefore, this means

that a higher level of customer satisfaction and trust are instrumental in creating a higher level of

positive eWOM communication.

1. Background

As online auction grows rapidly in recent years, researchers have begun to explore various antecedents of

consumers’ shopping behaviors in the online auction context. Although a great deal of research has

provided valuable insights into increasing consumers’ intention to make purchases on online auction

websites, less empirical studies investigate the influences of website quality on purchase intention on

online auction websites. Based on the S-O-R theory (Mehrabian and Russell, 1974) and the conceptual

framework proposed by Kim and Lennon (2013), this study suggests website quality (website design,

customer service, reliability, security) affects perceived risk, which in turn influences consumers’

intention to purchase on online websites. More importantly, this study further examines the moderating

effect of involvement on the relationship between website quality and perceived risk. We predict that the

effects of proposed predictors on perceived risk will be stronger for the consumers with high involvement

compared with those with low involvement.


Results indicated that the privacy of online auction website has a negative effect on consumers’ perceived

risk. Additionally, we found consumer involvement play an important moderating role in the relationship

between website quality and perceived risk. Specifically, the negative effect of website design on

perceived risk was stronger for consumers with high involvement than those with low involvement. We

also observed that the relationship between customer services and perceived risk was greater for high

involvement group than for low involvement ones. Finally, the influence of website’s reliability was

stronger for highly-involved consumers compared with lowly-involved ones.

We contribute to the evolving stream of online auction research in two ways. First, we examine the effects

of website quality on perceived risk in the online auction context. Second, we propose that the effects of

website quality on perceived risk will depend on the extent to consumer involvement. In summary, our

findings extend the extant knowledge of online auction and S-O-R theories and provide valuable insights

for online auction practitioners.

Abstract

Although the widespread recognition of the important roles that small and medium-sized

enterprises play in economic, and some research has found that strategy planning has significant

impact on enterprise’s performance, researches of strategic planning applicable to small and

medium-sized enterprises are scattered and limited. It is usually assumed that small and

medium-sized enterprises lack the resources to implement strategy planning, and then lead to

inferior financial performance. The purpose of this paper is trying to introduce the new strategic

planning method, the financial strategy management analysis model, for the small and

medium-sized enterprises in Taiwan. This model will help managers in small and medium-sized

enterprises more quickly develop strategy, find possible management problem, effectively solve

management problem, and improve financial performance.

Abstract

This study presents a mixed network data envelopment analysis (MNDEA) model that integrates

the two-stage network and parallel structures. The model evaluates the efficiency and

effectiveness of a metro transit system with and without considerations of transfer-ridership

policy and environmental factors. A case study based on data from metro transits over the years

2005-2015 was conducted. Empirical results show that service technology of metro systems and

their subsystems were affected by transfer-ridership policy and environmental factors over the

analysis period. This study is a more general type of DEA and has theoretical implications for

the public transport literature.

Abstract

In this paper, we examine how the optimal import tariff affects a foreign multinational’s modes

of entry to a new market. We consider a foreign multinational can choose between exports and

foreign direct investment (FDI) as entry modes in a host country when the host government

endogenously decides the import tariffs. The main interesting findings of this paper are as

follows. First, the level of the optimal tariff in the presence of the endogenous choices between

exports and FDI by a foreign multinational may be less than or equal to that export mode derived

in Spencer and Brander (1981). Second, the optimal tariffs must be set low enough to prevent a

foreign multinational from undertaking FDI. Third, in contrast to the conventional

rent-extraction argument, we find that the more advanced cost-efficient technology the foreign

firm has, the lower the tariff rate shall be applied if the fixed cost of FDI is not high and the

foreign multinational can endogenously choose between exports and FDI.

Government Responses to Insuring against Natural Disaster Risks: The

Comparison of Taiwan and Japan Protection Models

Gregory Coutaz

Graduate Institute of National Development and Mainland China Studies, Chinese Culture

University, Taiwan


Abstract

Every year, natural disasters cause tens of thousands of deaths and tens of billions of dollars

worth of economic losses. The figures available from international agencies such as the

International Federation of Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies and from major transnational

insurance and reinsurance corporations show that mortality rates have been fairly consistent,

whilst the number of recognized catastrophic events, and even more, the size of economic losses,

have rapidly increased. With the highest percentage of the world’s natural disasters on their

continent, Asian decision-makers face the difficult task to successfully mobilize the requisite

financing for adaptation.

This paper examines how the governments of Japan and Taiwan address natural hazards risks

and disaster financial preparedness from the comparative perspective of their national disaster

management plans. Since funds are limited and budgets are tight, efficient allocation of resources

is therefore indispensable to manage the threats of natural disasters. Traditionally, governments

have relied on ex-post financing instruments. This may include in the short run or in the medium

term increasing national or local taxes, reallocating public funding from other budget items, or

negotiating additional loans borrowed from the general public or from domestic and/or

international finance institutions. The present paper argues that there is substantial value in

shifting to a comprehensive disaster risk management approach that would accumulate

preventive funds and implement positive actions for disaster vulnerability reduction before the

next catastrophe occurs. Guided by the theoretical foundations of functionalism and disaster

theory, it stresses the adoption of a broader distribution of risk and the implementation of ex-ante

financing instruments as the most effective way to achieve coherent financial protection. In terms

of methodology, I have adopted a qualitative case study approach because of the paucity of

existing knowledge on the subject. Research methods included in-depth interviews and the

collection of primary and secondary materials. Major interviewees included Japanese and

Taiwanese officials, scholars, and insurers, involved in disaster risk financing.

The investigation of the national disaster management plans executed in Japan and Taiwan

demonstrates that the government in both countries has taken a series of measures and actions to

133

tackle the financial costs of natural disasters, including the elaboration of legal frameworks, the

enactment of budgetary rules and the development of local support and private participation.

However, there is a great disparity between Japan and Taiwan in terms of the coverage gap. It is in

Japan that the penetration of insurance products is the highest. While standard insurance fire

policies provide insurance protection against storm and flood to a majority of Japanese

households, JER and cooperative mutual insurers provide insurance protection against

earthquake to about 40% of Japanese households. Additionally, cooperative mutual insurers and

private insurance companies regularly use CAT bonds to cede part of their peak exposures to the

capital markets. The maturity of the country’s catastrophe insurance market helps absorb the

economic impacts of natural disasters, making Japanese society less vulnerable to large-scale

catastrophes. Insurance losses in Japan represent a significant proportion of the total economic

losses. In Taiwan, TREIF was set up by the government to encourage earthquake insurance

penetration among the population. In less than two decades, the rate of insurance penetration

increased remarkably from less than 1% to 33% of the total residential households on the island.

While this percentage is higher, and has increased much faster, than JER, TREIF’s maximum

amount of payment is rather low and barely sufficient to rebuild a basic dwelling in rural areas.

When it comes to purchasing coverage against damage caused by typhoons and floods,

Taiwanese households do not adopt the same risk-averse behavior. Although typhoons and

floods made up 83% of the total number of natural disasters between 1995 and 2016, the

penetration of residential storm and flood insurance remains desperately low. Insufficient

insurance penetration means that governments are requested to enhance their post-disaster

contribution. However, the examination of the role played by Japanese and Taiwanese

governments in JER and TREIF raises the question of the total amount of public money

dedicated to the creation of a sustainable catastrophe insurance market. Successful public-private

collaboration requires private actors to act as responsible and engaged partners. In Japan and

Taiwan, there are clear indications that governments are prepared to make significant financial

concessions to secure the participation of private insurance companies and to make insurance

products acceptable to their populations. By acting this way, those governments merely shift the

problem without solving it. Therefore, this paper concludes with practical suggestions and policy

recommendations to be used by Japanese and Taiwanese governments to reduce their financial

contribution and strengthen their capacity to confront the menace of forthcoming disasters.

Moving Forward in Transforming India: Accomplishments and Challenges

Incorporation of the transgender into the progressive society is still far away; while the discriminations have come

down though not wiped out completely. For the past few years several milestones have been achieved with the

inclusion of transgender as a 3rd

gender after a landmark ruling by Supreme Court, to chasing a dream and stepping

in to pursue different careers. Absolutely true that transgender can do anything and the sense of freedom is a reality

for them.

In the context of disaster, nature hits everyone with the same impact; however unequal structures in the society

worsen the management. Despite widespread disaster risk reduction strategies, equitable policy and practice for

fulfilling the needs and interests of the marginalized population are somehow not fulfilled.

This article is aimed to highlight the deprivation of the transgender, characterize their necessities, train them for

appropriate post-disaster management and employ strategies to make them an important structural framework of the

society.


An important concern involves empowerment of transgender and their advancement and training for disaster

preparedness, response and recovery. The internet surveys from authentic sources illustrate that steps have already

been taken in this regard. Initiative by Chaman Pincha in 2008 for the awareness of Aravanis (term used for

transgender) in India who does not fit into a two-gender system was the first of all. He emphasized on the hardship

encountered by transgender post-Tsunami in 2004. All the special social services and benefits were denied to them

only because they failed to show a proper ration card with appropriate category of male or female. Foremost

initiative being by GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) where around 2000 transgender persons

were being trained and subsequently enrolled as active scout members for several works related to social uplift

including undertaking relief work during natural disasters. PeriFerry, a newly evolved startup in Chennai, is also

working for the training of transgender community.

Since the degree of friendliness among different states of India varies, the awakening and awareness planning are

not at same pace. In this context, placement of transgender volunteers at different social-uplifting programs

including post-disaster management is a much-needed approach. This will help in boosting their employment; take

care of their healthcare, housing and all aspects for an independence life. In true sense, respect, dignity and equality

will be established. Indian sub-continent has a glorifying history and transgender community has always been an

integral part. Henceforth, their social inclusion, protection, togetherness and welfare schemes for the implementation

are foremost priorities.

Abstract

The smart city is a novel technology concept which aims to deploy advanced technology

solutions, synergistically interconnected, for different infrastructures and urban activities. The

enablers of smart city include smart energy, smart transportation, smart data, smart infrastructure,

smart mobility as well as smart IoT devices.

If the decision makers only evaluate the performance of a single organization in city planning,

they cannot provide a complete analysis result for different factors. The data envelopment

analysis is used to evaluate the performance of the input and output values. The performance of

the whole city planning cannot be evaluated. The network data envelopment analysis method

considers the structure of the IoT network and smart city, discusses the interaction and influence

between the internal structure and the internal process of the system to evaluate the performance,

and analyzes the efficiency among the unrelated factors. Appropriate innovation policy can

accelerate the development of smart cities. However, very limited or no scholar tried to define

innovation policy instruments aiming to develop smart cities. Therefore, the authors aim to

propose a hybrid MCDM method based analytic framework for deriving the policy instruments.

In this paper, the proposed new novel hybrid MCDM model addresses the independent relations

of evaluation criteria with the aid of factor analysis and the dependent relations of evaluation

criteria with the aid of DEMATEL. An empirical study based on Taiwanese experts will be used

to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed framework. The well-verified analytic framework

can be used for developing novel technology in other fields.

ABSTRACT

Statistical analysis that can be used to know the pattern of relationship between predictors with

the response of regression analysis. The approach is often used to estimate the regression curve is

a parametric approach (Budiantara, 2006). The approach is determined based on the assumption

of the shape of the curve. The parametric approach used in the form of regression curve is known,

for example linear, quadratic, cubic or polynomial degree p, whereas if the regression curve form

is not or not yet known its shape, on the other side linearity assumption is not fulfilled and its

nonlinear form is not or not yet known the approach used is nonparametric approach Wu &

Zhang, 2006). Spline is one approach in nonparametric regression that has a special character

that is able to adjust the behavior change data well (Eubank, 1999). The approach used in Spline

estimation is the truncated spline approach and the smoothing spline approach. Padatruncated

splinemenggunakan base knot, while padasmoothing spline estimation of the function is based

on the criteria of accuracy of the model and the size of the smoothness curve that has been set by

the parameters pemalus (Budiantara, 2006) .To obtain estimation of nonparametric regression

birespon can be done with Penalized Weighted Least Square (PWLS) of the predicate based on

the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) by adding: 1) Penalty, which can control the smoothing

parameters in the smoothing spline. 2) Weighted, used to accommodate correlations between

responses (Fernandes, 2015). One application that can be used in regression is to measure

wellbeing. Welfare aspect is assessed based on the areas covering population, health and

nutrition, education, employment, level and consumption pattern, housing and environment,

poverty, and other social which become reference in the effort of improving quality of life. IPM

(Human Development Index) can be used to measure the successful development and prosperity

of a country (BPS, 2012). GDP (Regional Domestic Product of Gross Domestic Product) can be

used to assess regional economic growth in order to improve the welfare of its population.

Specifically single-response regression has been widely used to measure welfare for example

with the response of human development index, with the response of the poor to income

response (Todaro, 2003).

In general, there are often cases that have two responses and there is correlation between

responses, if the cases are analyzed separately then the results obtained will not be optimal so

that more effective completion by using weights that can accommodate birespon. HDI is always

137

correlated with community welfare. In other words, the higher the HDI the higher each

component that make the HDI will also affect the welfare and life of the community.

The purpose of this research is to get nonparameteric regression function with PWLS

spline-based spline approach on welfare level in Central Java Province. The data used in this

study is secondary data taken from the Central Bureau of Statistics of the Province of GDP based

on the provinces in Central Java Province, with birespon namely: IPM based in Central Java

Province and Poverty in Central Java Province, 2015-2016.

The result of research shows that: (1) The method of nonparametric analysis of birespon in this

research using PWLS approach obtained smoothing spline for birespon.

Smoothing spline function with HDM response as follows:

Smoothing spline function with poverty percentage response as follows:

1.

2.

The obtained model has a coefficient of determination of 80.698% so it can be concluded that the

predictor of domestic regional product ruto (PDRB) able to explain the variability of human

development index (HDI) and poverty percentage of 80.698% while the rest of 19.302%

explained by other variables that are not contained in the model .

Nonparametric Path Analysis Based on Smoothing Spline (Study on Student

Satisfaction of Statistic of Universitas Brawijaya in Online Shopping)

Adji Achmad Rinaldo Fernandes*, Solimun



ABSTRACT

Technological developments require companies to be more creative, innovative and use it as a business solution, it is

pushing the competition increasingly tight. The phenomenon of business change occurs in online sales through

social media. Security, trust, good quality of service into customer consideration in online shopping, it is also able to

improve competitiveness. Consumers assume that online shopping is more risky than offline shopping. Offline

shopping can provide physical purchase satisfaction where customers can see, feel and touch the product before the

purchase is made. Therefore making the security of personal information can foster trust. Building trust and

managing risk in online transactions aims to increase sales to be critical, trust influences perceived value and

impacts satisfaction.

In this study there are some endogenous variables that have a causal relationship so that required path analysis. Path

analysis takes into account the existence of intervening variables ie variables that affect the relationship between

exogenous variables with endogenous variables into indirect relations and can not be observed or measured. This

variable is an intermediate variable between exogenous variables with endogenous variables, so that exogenous

variables do not directly affect the change or the incidence of endogenous variables.

Previous research by (Fitriana, 2017) discusses the Selection of Nonparametric Path Analysis with a truncated spline

approach to linear and quadratic orders. While in this research using smoothing spline approach. In the smoothing

spline discussing the whole of the regression form, the truncated spline emphasizes more on the subdivision of the

regression. Truncated splines are based on knots that do not need to look for more finer parameters, but researchers

should look for the number of suitable knot points. Therefore the researcher uses nonparametric smoothing spline

regression which has high flexibility in data pattern and has no restriction on each area, but must find the optimal

finishing parameter to be used in the model.

This study uses primary data obtained through questionnaires distributed to active students force 2014 to 2017

Department of Statistics Brawijaya University who had done online shopping transactions, data collection obtained

through questionnaires. The applied research method is nonparametric path analysis using smoothing spline

approach with Penalized Least Square (PLS) or Penalized Weighted Least Square (PWLS) approach.

The result of the research shows that PWLS estimation is a better function estimate because the diversity of data that

can be explained by the model is 97.82% while the remaining 2.18% is influenced by other variables.

Based on the conclusions of the research, the suggestions that can be taken are (1) subsequent research can use the

data of mixed scale, (2) in this study does not compare the correlation level between the response for further

research can compare the best correlation level between the responses.

Comparison of the Use of Bootstrap Resampling and Blindfolding WarpPLS

Model on Structural Equation Modeling the Value of Real Estate Companies

Listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange

Solimun*, Adji Achmad Rinaldo Fernandes



ABSTRACT

Indonesia is one of the most populous countries in the world. The large population in Indonesia

creates a business opportunity for property companies. One company that has a chance to

compete is a real estate company. Referring to the theory of the firm the main purpose of an

established company is to create a high corporate value. Managers of real estate companies must

know the factors that can increase the value of a company. The high low value of a company can

be influenced by financial performance. Financial performance can be influenced by capital

structure, good corporate governance and firm size. These three factors can create the financial

performance of the company. This financial performance will create the value of the company.

The structural model in this study contains latent variables that have reflective and formative

indicator models, so that the analysis of SEM-based covariance by applying the AMOS software

can not be used, so the analysis that can be used to solve this problem is SEM (Structural

Equation Model) WarpPLS (Partial Least Square). The additional statistical study in this study is

to compare better resampling method in SEM (Structural Equations Model) modeling with

WarpPLS (Partial Least Square) approach between Bootstrap resampling method and

Blindfolding resampling method. Originality of this research is to complete SEM Structural

Equation Model analysis, using WarpPLS (Partial Least Square) approach with reflective and

formative indicators using Bootstrap resampling method and Blindfolding resampling method.

The population in this study are all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI)

with the number of companies listed in the real estate industry in Indonesia is 45 companies. The

sample in this study are companies that meet the following criteria: Companies listed on the

Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2014-2016; Available financial report data in 2014-2016; Not

delisted in 2014-2016; The Company publishes a report on Good Corporate Governance

(independent commissioner, managerial ownership, audit committee) within 2014-2016. The

methodology in this study used SEM Structural Equation Model analysis, using the WarpPLS

(Partial Least Square) approach.

Based on the results of the analysis in this study obtained the comparison of resampling method

between resampling Bootstrapping and resampling Blindfolding shows the result that

Blindfolding resampling is better than resampling Bootstrapping. The result of the analysis

shows that there is a direct correlation between research variables which are significant between

140

capital structure variable to financial performance, capital structure to firm value, good corporate

governance to financial performance, firm size to financial performance and financial

performance to company value. While the correlation between good corporate governance

variable to firm value and firm size to company value got insignificant result. The result of the

analysis shows that there is a significant indirect correlation between capital structure variable to

firm value through financial performance, good corporate governance variable to company value

through financial performance, and firm size to company value through financial performance.

Suggestions for further research are as follows adding research variables in addition to variables

that have been used. Adds a comparison between the selection of outer model and inner model

algorithms.

Keywords: company value, SEM, WarpPLS. resampling Bootstrapping, resampling Blindfolding

Solimun*, Adji Achmad Rinaldo Fernandes



ABSTRACT

In this day, human beings have a variety of needs, one of the basic needs for humans is the need

for shelter or board. As Indonesia's population continues to increase over time, the demand for

housing needs is also increasing. This has led to the development of real estate business sector in

Indonesia is growing rapidly. The rapid development of property business sector of course

attracts investors. To attract investors, a company must have a good company performance.

Whether or not the performance of a company can be seen from the financial performance and

the value of the company. One way to measure the success of a company's financial performance

can be seen from profitability. Profitability as a measure of financial performance is measured

through indicators Return On Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin

(NPM). While the value of the company is the total value of the stock market, bonds and debt of

the company. Corporate value is often measured through price to book value indicators (Ahmed

and Nanda, 2000) and based on market value using Tobin's Q method, and stock return. To

achieve a good company performance and optimal required a driver or driver of corporate

performance, including company size, capital structure, and good corporate governance (good

corporate governance). Company size can be measured through asset value and sales value.

Capital structure can be measured through Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Debt to Assets Ratio

(DAR). As for good corporate governance can be measured through Independent Commissioner

(KI), Managerial Ownership (KM) and Audit Committee (KA).In this study, we want to know

the relationship of two groups of variables, namely the drivers of company performance and

company performance. Analysis of the relationship between the two groups of variables will be

done simultaneously or simultaneously. One method of analysis that can be used to solve this

problem is to use canonical correlation analysis. With canonical correlation analysis, the

complex relationship structure between the two groups of variables can be explained.

The originality of the research lies in the application of statistical theory used. In this study

canonical correlation analysis applied to latent variables. So to obtain data from these variables

are based on the characteristics of indicators of each variable, that is reflect the variable or form

a variable.

In this study, the object of research is a company incorporated in the real estate industry in

142

Indonesia. Thus, the population in the study are all real estate industry companies listed on the

Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) in 2014-2016. Nonpropability sampling (non-random sampling)

was conducted by saturation sampling method, with criterion (1) Companies listed in Indonesia

Stock Exchange respectively during 2014-2016. (2) Available data of financial report year

2014-2016. (3) The Company publishes a report on Good Corporate Governance (independent

commissioner, managerial ownership, audit committee) in 2014-2016.

The canonical correlation analysis of the variable group of Corporate Performance Drivers and

Company Performance yields two canonical functions. In the canonical function 1, the

Performance Drivers variable that gives the largest contribution to the canonical variables is

Good Corporate Governance, and on the variable of firm performance variable which gives the

biggest contribution to the canonical variable is Financial Performance. In the canonical

functions of the two variables of Corporate Performance Drivers that give the largest

contribution to the canonical variables are the Capital Structure and Performance Variables

Companies that give the greatest contribution to the canonical variable is Company Value. The

correlation coefficient on canonical function 1 is greater than the correlation coefficient of

canonical function 2, so the relationship between Good Corporate Governance and Financial

Performance is closer than the Capital Structure with Corporate Value. For further research, it is

advisable to apply canonical correlation analysis in different case studies, especially in

economics studies. Because canonical correlation analysis is still rarely applied to the field.

1. Background

Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) is inspired by artistic styles such as painting, drawing,

technical illustration, and animated cartoons. One of the most popular methods is the line-based

rendering. It generates artistic lines to produce the final painting. Space-filling curves have

attracted both artists and mathematicians. A space-filling curve is defined by passing through

every point of a given region. It has been applied in other image processing tasks. However,

using space-filling curves to generate an artistic representation of an image is difficult for users.

2. Results and Conclusion

Fig. 1 shows the results of an image using the quadratic Gosper curve. We have explored the

halftoning art based on quadratic Gosper curves, and the methods for achieving desired artistic

effects. The proposed method can be applied to other curves. It can also be extended to create

animations.

1. Introduction

The various drug delivery systems based on the microjet syringe has been studied widely by

many researchers for safe and painless injection. A vapor bubble expansion effect from the water

in chamber, which play a role of injector, has been reported in J. J. Yoh et. al.. However, most of

various micro-jet syringe systems have a disadvantage of very short nozzle lifetime because of

very weak endurance of metal nozzle. In this paper, we design, fabricate and evaluate an

improved micro-jet syringe system to adopt a ceramic nozzle with the super-endurance of over

10,000 shots of laser pulse by a focused Er:YAG laser beam.

2. Results and Discussions

Fig. 2 Photos of Al nozzle ((a) and (b)) and ceramic nozzle ((c) and (d)) showing externally a

nozzle hole from bottom to top without laser shot ((a) and (c)) and with laser shot after (b) 1,000

shots and (d) 15,000 shots.

Figure 2 shows photos of aluminum nozzle with the diameter of 150 um ((a) and (b)) and

ceramic nozzle with the same diameter ((c) and (d)) showing externally a nozzle hole from

bottom to top without laser shot ((a) and (c)) and with (b) 1,000 and (d) 15,000 laser shots. We

can see that the lifetime of nozzle by using molding injection technique of ceramic materials is

dramatically increased more than 15 times than that of aluminum nozzle. Therefore, we can

operate successfully the skin beauty care using the microjet syringe system with one nozzle

without any change of nozzle.

We have experimented the performance of the micro-jet syringe system of Fig, 1 with a ceramic

nozzle of Fig. 2 as shown in Figure 3. Fig. 3 (a) is the crosssection photo measuring the

penetration depth of 1.891 mm in pig skin by using a dyed water injected by micro-jet syringe

system with a ceramin nozzle and (b) the looking down photo for the 3 by 3 injection points on

Cinnamomum cassia is widely studied in different field to show anti-diabetic, anti-depressive,

anti-viral, anti-inflammative, anti-osteoporotic and anti-cancer effects. The activity of

anti-malignancy has been explored on lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer and even oral

cancer. However, the detail signaling and effects on the animal model were not clarified. In the

present study, C. cassia extract (CCE) was employed to investigate the anti-tumorigenesis

mechanism in vitro and in vivo.


In conclusion, CCE might show potential for the complementary treatment of patients with oral

cancers. The inhibition of autophagy during CCE treatment should also be considered in oral

cancer cells. These results suggested that CCE had the potential to be used as a complementary

treatment of oral cancer.

1. Background

The gradual shortage of oil and worldwide awareness of environmental issues highlights the exploitation of the

energy management system. Database is the most important part of the energy management system. Due to the

progress in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), there are vast development areas to execute the

database of energy management system. This paper proposes a database using for the energy management system.

The corresponding skills of database of electric energy management are also imbedded in the proposed system.

The increase of electrical power usage requires more efficient energy scheme, especially in the highly complex

energy infrastructures, plays a very significant role. The energy management system can provide the solution for the

energy consumption and costs saving (Moskalenko, et al 2011). The energy management system is very important

factor for the stable operation of micro-grid with multi-micro sources (Ren, et al 2011). The energy management

system refers to the method used to monitor a specific system and to optimize its demand response operation

(Aminou Moussavou, et al 2014). The database in energy management system providing services to aggregate

electricity information of utility, keep the balance between demand and supply, reduce the energy consumption, and

do the other activities with energy management systems.

To verify the performances of the proposed database, a prototype database using for the energy management system

has been tested on several kinds of practical load conditions. The test results show that the proposed database system

is efficient and reliable.

2. Conclusions

This paper presented a database for the energy management system to systematically control the load and detect the

data of the load. Data measured by smart meters are transmitted to the database via both the RS485 and ZigBee. The

proposed energy management system can improve the quality of electricity, reduce energy waste and reduce the

burden on users to control energy. This study has completed the energy management system login screen, detailed

information function interface, real-time smart meter measured data interface, smart meter measured data query

interface, time-course query data interface and demand response operate interface.

The database of the energy management system has the information of controlling the power, monitoring the power

consumption, and storing the load information. The energy efficiency has been significantly improved. To verify the

effectiveness of the proposed technique, experiments using different types of load were conducted. The test results

show that the proposed demand controller is efficient and reliable. The control performance is verified to be less

dependent on load quality factor and power level.

Background/ Objectives and Goals

Due to the current was limited by the depletion region, we added the Floating Field P-Ring

structure and Multiple Floating Field P-Rings structure. Through the extension of the depletion

region, it would increase the breakdown voltage by reducing the high electric field at the main

junction.

Expected Results/ Conclusion/ Contribution

In the conference report, we divide into five parts to discussing detail results. The first part is a

brief introduction to the development of diode and the purpose of the study. The second part

discusses theories of the applications of Poisson’s equation on charge, potential, Electric field,

and on breakdown voltage of PN diode. The third and the fourth parts include the studies of the

modulation depth of floating field ring and the structure of multiple floating field rings. These

parts analyze the research data and generate discussions regarding reverse bias, electric field

distribution, depletion region, PN junction, potential distribution, electron ionization coefficient,

and so on. The fifth part proposes suggestions for future studies.

A Study of Charge Imbalanced for Super Junction Diode

Yu-Wei Chao*, Shiou-Ying Cheng, Cho-Yen Lo

Department of Electronic Engineering, National Ilan University, Taiwan *E-mail: [email protected]

Background/ Objectives and Goals

With the concept called “Super Junction”, which was performed by T. Fujihira, we can figure out

that a super junction structure with highly doping not only makes the relationship between the

breakdown voltage and on-resistance effectively better, but also breaks through the silicon limit.

Expected Results/ Conclusion/ Contribution

Super junction structure has the biggest breakdown voltage when charge is balanced. By varying

the concentration of p pillar or n pillar, due to the number of charge inside p pillar and n pillar

more different, cause the bigger compensation degree, smaller depletion region area,

non-uniform electric field, resulting in the breakdown voltage of super junction lower.

At the same charge imbalanced condition, by varying the width of super junction structure, we

figure out that the narrower device has better breakdown characteristic, on the other hand, the

wider device has worse breakdown characteristic.

We compare super junction device with two different kinds of PIN diode (P+/P/N

+ and P

+/N/N

+)

at the same scale and same concentration of drift region. Result has shown that super junction

has better breakdown characteristic than two different PIN diodes.

A Novel and Simple Data Detection Algorithm for Uplink Massive Multiuser

MIMO Systems Using Higher-Order PSK Modulations

Jung-Chieh Chen

Department of Optoelectronics and Communication Engineering, National Kaohsiung Normal

University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan



Reference [1] has demonstrated that when the number of base station (BS) antennas, denoted by

𝐵, is significantly larger than the number of single‐antenna users, denoted by 𝑈, a simple

suboptimal linear minimum mean‐square‐error (LMMSE) data detection algorithm can achieve

nearly the same performance of an optimal maximum likelihood detector in uplink massive

multiuser multiple‐input and multiple‐output (MU-MIMO) systems. However, in the Internet of

Things (IoT) or large sensor network applications, the number of single‐antenna users exceeds

the number of BS antennas. Under such uplink‐heavy traffic, the LMMSE detector suffers

considerable performance loss and thereby cannot be applied. To mitigate the performance loss

due to the decrease in the BS‐to‐user‐antenna ratio, denoted by ≜ 𝐵/𝑈, a novel yet efficient

data detection scheme based on the gradient projection (GP) algorithm [2] is proposed in this

study for the massive MU-MIMO configurations where ≤ 1. In addition, we concentrate on

the higher‐order phase-shift keying (PSK) modulations, because their constant envelope

properties facilitate the use of cheap but highly power‐efficient power amplifiers for large sensor

networks or the IoT scenario.

2. Results

We perform simulations to evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance of the LMMSE and the

GP-based detectors with higher modulations, i.e., 32-PSK and 64-PSK modulations. Fig. 1

illustrates the BER results as a function of signal-to‐noise ratio (SNR) by using 32-PSK and

64-PSK modulations for different antenna configurations with 𝐵 × 𝑈 = 128 × 128 (i.e.,

= 1 ) and 𝐵 × 𝑈 = 128 × 144 (i.e., < 1 ). Upon observation, the LMMSE detector

experiences considerable performance degradation and its performance is almost unacceptable

for practical applications. However, the proposed GP‐based detector performs well for different

antenna configurations. Most importantly, the proposed algorithm is efficient for an overloaded

system (𝐵 × 𝑈 = 128 × 144). These results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed GP‐

based detector.

Abstract

The diabetic population in Taiwan has been steadily increasing in the recent years. According to

the data from the National Health Insurance Administration (MOHW), the prevalence of diabetes

in Taiwanese adults has reached 5%, and is increasing every year. In 2016, diabetes caused 1.5

million deaths globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) revealed that one in 11 adults

has diabetes, but one in two adults with diabetes is undiagnosed. By 2040, one in ten adults will

have diabetes. This shows that diabetes is an important public health issue.

Abstract

Wind power generation has highly increased around the world in recent years. With raised

installation capacity on wind power, the issue related to the impact of wind power output on the

surrounding power system networks is thus paid more attention. To effectively analyze wind

power interconnection and observes wind turbine system operation properties, an applicable

wind turbine electrical simulation model has considered as required for study. In this paper, it

aims to investigate a type-3 wind turbine model, commonly known as double-fed induction

generator (DFIG) / double-fed asynchronous generator (DFAG) for simulation analysis.

Different modelling approaches for the wind turbine are discussed. A simulated distribution

system that integrates a large-scale wind turbine is implemented by MATALB/Simulink for

power performance and dynamic response analyses, and capabilities of the wind turbine model is

finally reported.

University, Japan


Abstract

In this paper, a new technique to measure daily human activity tasks without using cameras and

video images are presented. The electric change in the electric potential of the human body that

is caused by the daily activity tasks induces an electrostatic induction current in the electrode

placed at a distance of a few meters from the human body. By detecting the change of the human

body's charge induced by the human body motion, it becomes possible to detect the daily activity

tasks under noncontact condition. This technique based on the detection of an electrostatic

induction current of the order of approximately sub-picoamperes flowing through an electrode

that is placed at a distance of 5 m from the subject. It is shown that the characteristics of the

individual are included in walking motion and transfer operation of a chair. This technique

effectively explains the behavior of the waveform of the electrostatic induction current flowing

through a given measurement electrode through a capacitance model of the human body.

Science and Technology, Taiwan


Abstract

With the continuous increase in video applications for mobile devices, the amount of data

transmitted has also increased. How to improve video performance in terms of the coding quality

and coding bitrate and how to reduce the amount of video compression data is a primary

challenge for modern video coding. Hence, the latest video compression standard, High

Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), provides an approximately 50% coding bit-rate reduction

compared to the previous generation of the video compression standard of H.264/AVC. The

HEVC provides a considerable amount of video data compression to reduce the amount of data

storage and transmission while retaining the video coding performance. However, because many

video coding chips are embedded within a mobile application processor system-on-a-chip

(APSoC), they suffer from the time-altering transmission bandwidth limitation. Accordingly, in

this paper, we introduce a novel HEVC ME design with rate-control scheme, which is not only

capability of awareness of transmission bandwidth change but capability of

low-hardware-complexity design. Compared with the HEVC test model (HM-16.6), the

proposed HEVC rate-control ME algorithm can be realized in VLSI hardware under the common

test conditions with negligible coding performance degradation.

Density Functional Theoretical Study on Thienothiophene Containing

Conjugated Polymers for Organic Electronic Applications

Sungu Hwang

Department of Nanomechatronics Engineering, Pusan National University, Miryang, Korea


1. Background

Conducting polymer materials with donor-acceptor (D-A) alternating copolymers have been a

subject of intensive study owing to their cost-effective roll-to-roll processibility and their

mechanical property and easy tunability of molecular structures.1-2

Thieno[3,2-b]thiophene and benzothiadiazole moieties have been widely considered as a donor

repeat unit of the copolymers because they can produce linearly structured conjugated

copolymer.3 Especially, fluorine substituted repeat units are very promising building blocks

because they can afford the chain linearity and fine adjustment of the chain-to-chain packing

interactions. Also introducing electronegative substituents such as F substituting group can give

us flexibility by modulating HOMO level and band gap of the polymer. In this study, three

different types of thienothiophene-benzothiadiazole repeat units of the organic polymers

(PPDTTBT, PPDTTFBT, and PPDTT2FBT) were investigated by density functional theoretical

(DFT) method.

2. Results

Figure 1 shows the torsion angle profiles and optimized structures of the repeat units TT-BT,

TT-FBT, TT-2FBT, and TT-BHQ. The position of torsional minimum is around 180° for TT-BT,

TT-FBT, and TT-2FBT, which indicates very planar structures. The corresponding value for

TT-BHQ is around 155°, which gives a slightly twisted structure. Based on this torsion angle

profiles, we constructed the repeat units of PPDTTBT, PPDTTFBT, and PPDTT2FBT and

performed DFT calculations to obtain the minimum energy structures and their inter-chain

interactions.

The computational results show that HOMO levels were lowered as the number of F increased

while band gap was conserved as the number of F increased, which is good agreement with the

experimental results.

Abstract

This present attempts to use less porous material as a baffle to enhance heat transfer and tries to

improve performance further in the pulsating flow instead of the steady flow, i.e. to investigate

the heat transfer effect under both of active and passive flow field. This study details the effects

of variations in the Darcy number, Strouhal number and oscillating amplitude. The results show

excellent heat transfer enhancement with a porous baffle under a pulsating flow than that without

baffle in the steady flow. Porous media were widely used as heat sinks in industrial application

for the purpose of heat transfer enhancement. Porous media are often mounted on heat sources

directly, but much porous materials shall be spent, and both of cost and pressure drop will

increase simultaneously. This study analyzes numerically for the pulsating forced convection in a

vertical channel with a single porous baffle. The flow field is governed by Navier-Stokes

equations in the fluid region, by Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer equations in the porous region.

Buoyancy force is modeled in the momentum equation for the flow field.

E-mail address: [email protected]

Abstract

In this article, a Meshless Radial Point Interpolation (MRPI) method is applied to

characterize thermoelastic and fracture properties of functional graded high heat resistance

materials. As compared to the Finite Element Method (FEM), the proposed meshless method is

much easier in dealing with complicated boundaries including crack and large deformation at

edges. In formulation the weak form is adopted to establish system governing equations and

apply MRPI to discrete it. From the simulation results for stress intensity factor (SIF) calculation,

the estimation by using MRPI is more precise than that obtained by FEM approaches. As

compared to the analytical solution for homogeneous cracked plates bearing tension stress and

heat flows, the estimation error obtained by MRPI is approximately 1.15%, and -22.5% for FEM

approach. The influence of different volume fraction of FGMs that bear time-dependent external

force and temperature difference by various different crack locations and lengths are also

investigated and documented. The results can be used to predict accurate fracture

characterizations of inhomogeneous and functional graded materials for design engineering

applications.

Abstract

The flight of a spinning volleyball was investigated numerically and experimentally. Its

aerodynamic coefficients were calculated and compared among three methods: computational

fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, wind tunnel experiments, and numerical curve-fitting method

with real trajectories recorded by a camera. In particular, we developed the numerical

curve-fitting method to predict the rotating volleyball’s trajectory given its initial kinematic

conditions. Excellent agreements of lift coefficient can be found and numerical curve-fitting

methods showed a higher accuracy for the low speed flying volleyball case.

Flood runoff was calculated from continuous surface velocity data by applying SIV (Surface Image Velocimeter) to

various flood runoff events in ephemeral streams of Jeju Province.In the process of analyzing surface velocity of

collected runoff images, a method of improving analytical accuracy of nighttime runoffimages, the biggest weakness

of SIV, was proposed to improve the limit and compare accuracy of daytime and nighttime runoff images. In

addition, error rate was analyzed by calculating variables for far distance and near distance from the collected runoff

images during conversion of image coordinate system.


Based on comparison of surface velocity analysis on nighttime runoff images with observed surface velocity of

Kalesto, coefficient of determination was 0.848. Daytime runoff images had of 0.891. Lighting device of

1,000W installed to make up for weakness of nighttime runoff images was extremely effective in increasing

accuracy of analysis on nighttime runoff images of streams in Jeju Province, which have narrow stream width.

Runoff, calculated by rate of velocity change (16.77%∼317.69%) from input error of far distance reference point in

the process of setting reference point for SIV, had arange of 0.82%~338.63%. If runoff is calculated using SIV in

inland streams with wide stream width, minor reference point input error can lead to greater velocity error. Error rate

must be reduced in the process of setting reference point. Cross-correlation coefficient of continuous image analyzed

using SIV was interpreted to propose an appropriate filtering value for the collected runoff images. For daytime

runoff images, 61.0% of 59 velocity vectors corresponded to correlation coefficient range of 0.9∼1.0. For nighttime

runoff images, the ratio of vectors in correlation coefficient range of 0.9~1.0 was 17% lower. This indicates that

quality of nighttime runoff images is lower than daytime runoff images. Therefore, reasonable filtering of

correlation coefficient is necessary on runoff images obtained during calculation of runoff using SIV. A runoff

observation system that accounts for peculiar runoff characteristics of ephemeral streams was proposed based on

field observation experience and the results of using SIV on various flood runoff images in ephemeral streams

caused by heavy rains and typhoons. To improve accuracy of observed runoff data, observation angle of cameras

and effective installation of 1,000W lighting device were presented. This increased accuracy of nighttime runoff

image analysis, which is a weakness of the conventional SIV. In addition, ephemeral streams of Jeju Province that

have extremely narrow stream width compared to inland streams showed advantage of using CCTV. Water bubbles

formed on water surface during flood runoff functioned as tracer particles appropriate for surface velocity analysis.

Future studies shall be conducted on continued runoff observation and creation of an optimal observation system

that accounts for peculiar hydrological characteristics and runoff phenomena in ephemeral streams of Jeju Province.

Abstract

Cities are hubs of social development, economical opportunity and productivity. Fifty-four

percent of the world population is living in cities and the number is projected to keep growing

along with the demand of housing and services. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

released its Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) in 2014 affirming that the main cause of climate

change is anthropogenic. Increasing surface temperature carries negative impacts such as warmer

weather, poles melting, sea level rising, coastal submergence and erosion, frequent precipitation

and flooding. In developing countries the impacts are expected to be more significant. In 2015

the United Nation Framework Convention of Climate Change (UNFCCC) released the

Sustainable Development Goals to reduce Green House Gas emissions in a long term,

underlining the important role of cities to accomplish sustainability through mitigation and

adaption actions.

El Salvador in spite of being a developing country and having no obligation to contribute to the

climate negotiation is showing intentions in supporting the environmental targets to be resilient

by 2025. However, cities in El Salvador are still attached to inefficient and unsustainable

practices, and housing adaptation is not being considered in governmental policies. Climate

change impacts demand a switch to new paradigms for urban development, and thus El Salvador

needs to establish the path to achieve sustainability and focus on the important element of

dwelling. Therefore, this study aims at discussing practical urban planning strategies for El

Salvador to adapt to climate changes with focuses on housing. The authors expect the identified

strategies together can become a blueprint for central and local governments in El Salvador to

embark on addressing climate change adaption from the aspect of housing.

1. Background / Objectives and Goals

Patients with clinically common burns, diabetic foot and complicated wounds need to undergo split thickness skin

grafts (STSG) for wound treatment. According to statistics from 2013 to 2015, STSG is among the top three most

common medical treatments in plastic surgery wards. However, the accuracy of STSG wound care skill for

caregivers from February to March 2016 was only 55.56%. Analysis of the clinical situation, we found that the

nurses did not provide STSG postoperative nursing guidance for patients and caregivers, including the way to care

the skin grafts and donor area, and the way to observe alert sign of 6P symptoms. To improve the quality of STSG

postoperative care and increase the STSG caring skill for the primary caregivers, quality improvement program were

expected to increase the accuracy higher than 90%.

2. Expected Results / Conclusions / Contributions

After implementation of the program, the accuracy of STSG wound care increased from 55.56% in 2016, 88.49% in

2017 and 95.57% in 2017, which reached the expected goal. A total of 24 nurses took part in the in-service

education, course participation rate was 100%, 36 patients and caregivers joined group education, with a

“satisfactory” score of 4.6 points (5 points method) and 100% satisfaction rate.

Clinical found that patients and their families cannot remember the “6P” symptoms easily, especially elderly,

include the pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia, poikilothermia, and paralysis. The 6P symptoms are reinforced

by simple memory skills for patients and primary caregivers to strengthen understanding of the three signs of

numbness, swelling, and pain. Accordingly, the three signs can be treated immediately to prevent the pale, coldness

and paresthesia. In addition, it is emphasized that to keep the skin moist and prevent chapped secondary injuries in

the skin care of the grafts and donor area. Through quality improvement program, the accuracy of skin graft wound

care improved. The nurse provides complete skin wound care guidance; the patient and caregiver respond correctly

to the education. This program was validated to be effect on the improvement of postoperative care quality.

The tube safety is one of important factors to the patient safety. Unexpected pipeline slippage

may cause minimal to critical injuries, such as mucosal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux, and

aspiration pneumonia, and result in prolonged hospitalization. Reviewing the incidence rate of

unexpected nasogastric tube in the surgical wards has been increasing year by year. In 2016, the

incidence rate was increased to 0.13%. Therefore, we hope to apply intervention to decrease the

incidence to 0.08%, and reduce the potential risks of nasogastric tube slippage and

self-extubating,


Data were collected from September 2017 to October 2017. Our team members check the

correctness of nurses’ handover of patients with nasogastric tube. A total of 163 person-times

were collected, the correct rate of was 98.6%. Only one unexpected nasogastric tube slippage

accident was occurred during the evaluation period. Through the multiple intervention strategies,

the incidence rate of unexpected nasogastric tube slippage decreased from 0.13% to 0.04%.

Due to the low birth rate and population aging, it is common to see the elderly or foreign

caregivers caring patients. They cannot understand or receive professional nursing education

because of language problems. Multi-language material should be developed. The use of

multimedia tools for patient care can increase the knowledge of nasogastric tube care for

caregivers. It could increase quality of nursing care and improve patient safety.

Potential violence is a common issue in the acute psychiatric wards. When a patient has agitation,

destructive, self-harm or violent behaviors, the medical team immediately initiates violent

prevention intervention. If we fail to communicate effectively in time, it could easily lead to

injuries either to the patient or to staff members. In 2016, the rate of injury incidents caused by

violence was 0.06% (6/10634) in hospitalized patients. Therefore, it is extremely important to

implement the correct execution rate of the inpatient violence prevention in acute psychiatric

wards. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the structured violence

intervention program in the treatment of inpatient violence in acute psychiatric wards.


In 2017, there were 936 patients received the violent intervention. Among these patients, 871

patients were correctly implemented the structured violence intervention program. The accuracy

of the monitoring results was 93.06% (threshold >90%). The incidence of injuries caused by

violence was 0.03% (3/10931), which was significantly improved from 0.06% in 2016. The

structured violence intervention program helps medical team members to properly assess

violence, enhance confidence and ability in the process of intervention, and reduce the

occurrence of violence. We recommend the medical team should properly assess the risk of

violence in time, and further handle the violence to reduce the incidence of violence and the

severity of injuries.

Abstract

Pressure ulcer is the important indicator of quality of care. It may jeopardize patients’ quality of

life and increase medical expense. Patients with gastroenterological or hepatobiliary diseases

often have the mal-nutrition and unbalance of body fluid. The regions with delicate skin, such as

sacrum area, may sustained friction/shear force and cause the pressure ulcer. However,

investigations about the risk factors causing pressure ulcer among patients with

gastroenterological or hepatobiliary disease are limited. The purpose of this study is to explore

the risk factors causing pressure ulcer on patients with gastroenterological or hepatobiliary

disease. This is a prospective research design. Participants are from a gastroenterology and

hepatology ward of medical center in Southern Taiwan. The inclusion criteria are patients

without pressure ulcer before inclusion and stay at hospital more than 3 days thereafter.

Demographic data, the Braden scale and malnutrition universal screening tool were used to

assess the risk factors. The analysis methods were descriptive analysis, Chi square, T-test, and

regression. Our results showed that demographic data and nutrition status had no impact on the

development of pressure ulcers, but the friction/shear of Braden scale (OR = 3.78) was

significantly related to development of pressure ulcers. Our findings suggested that care givers

should decrease the friction/shear forces when moving patients to decrease the risk of pressure

ulcer development.

Abstract

The shortage of nursing human resource is an important subject of the world. Authentic

leadership can excite a nurse’s working passion, and intent glad to stay. Some researches

indicate that working environment, working satisfaction, and working burnout will significantly

affect the intention to stay, but it was needed to explore the most important factor. The purpose

of this study was to investigate the predictors of intention to stay among nurses.

This was a cross-sectional study design. The nurses worked for a medical center, a regional

hospital, and a district hospital. A total 1000 of nurses were invited and responded rate was

97.0%. Besides the demographic information, three instrument tools were adopted in the study.

Authentic leadership questionnaire with 16 items；Chinese version of Nursing Practice

Environment Scale with 30 items；Chinese version of McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction

Scalewith 25 items, A 20-items of Chinese version of Maslach burnout inventory human service

survey with three dimensions, Intent- to- stay questionnaire with 5 items.

The nurses percepted manager’s authentic leadership, satisfied with their work environment, and

low burnout, which means the intention to stay among nurses are high. The intention to stay

among nurses are different among their demographic data, perception of the working

environment, working satisfaction, and working burnout. A total of 40% variances to explain the

intention to stay among nurses.The hospital administrators should create a good working

environment, raise up the working satisfaction to reduce the working burnout, and raise up the

intention to stay among nurses finally.

Wolves and Ecotourism: Issues in the Japanese Context

Kurt Ackermann

Hokusei Gakuen Junior College


Background

The study investigates issues related to ecotourism that could entail from the presence of wolves

reintroduced to Japan. Japanese wolves (Canis lupus hodophilax), which at one time inhabited the

three main islands of Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoki, and before them Hokkaido wolves (Canis

lupus hattai), were eliminated from the archipelago more than a century ago. As in other areas

where large predators have been extirpated, possibilities for reintroduction are accompanied by

barriers.

Their role in controlling populations of animals that frequently cause harm to human agricultural

crops, including wild boar and deer, had in the past bestowed upon them a special, even sacred,

status. However, attitudes toward them changed following the Meiji Restoration and they came to

be regarded as pests, with the result that they were driven to extinction across Japan. If reviving the

goodwill towards wolves if they were reintroduced is possible or not is an open question, but could

contribute to a role as an ecotourism attraction.

Contributions

Ecotourism continues to capture the attention of travelers and policy-makers, no less so in Japan

than anywhere else. At the same time ecosystem sustainability and viability remains a crucial point

of consideration for the human as well as the natural world. This study is intended to examine one

example where the overlap between the two may be an issue of future consideration for Japan.

Abstract

In recent years, many countries invest in industrial automation and equipment, the topic of

Industry 4.0 began to improve operating efficiency and improve the quality of production.

Logistic management also the stretches from producing and transferring. Automated guided

vehicle (AGV) is a powerful tool can help maximize efficiency process in internal logistic. AGV

has an artificial intelligence (AI) system and many wireless senses to support its working. It

provides a new way for logistics services, the transformation of existing towards developing new

management methods. However, AGV is not universal, and support all of the logistic industries.

This study was designed to understand current logistic industries’ attitude in Taiwan. The

primary objective of this study is twofold: 1) to review AGV system and classified its function

between logistics management and operation management, and 2) to investigate logistic

industries' adopted attitude, discuss pick stocks and dynamically move ability.

Data and references are collected from primary sources, so we developed a survey questionnaire

with two parts (beside basic background), include company logistic performances and feature of

AGV application. The research provides insights into the logistics strategies of the AGV. The

research also provides insight into the AGV information system function. It can be stated that

industries will be positive attitude when they feel that AGV convenient and smart logistic service

in them.

Affective disorders are common mental illness in the 21st century. Nearly one-fifth of patients

were onset in adolescents and were mainly diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The main symptoms

include emotional disturbance, impulsive behaviors, poor interpersonal relationship and family

dysfunction. Adolescents are on the stage of self-identification and self-concept integration.

These symptoms usually cause conflicts in parent-child relationship. Adolescents with bipolar

disorder are often insisted on their opinions, fond to challenge authority, difficulty in expressing

their emotions and lack of impulse control. The purpose of this study was exploring the

effectiveness of emotionally focused family therapy in improving parent-child conflict for

adolescent bipolar disorder.


The results showed that the frequency of conflicts between patient and parents in the fourth week

of hospitalization was significantly reduced to 2 times a week. In addition to being affected by

the disease, the family interaction model also has an important impact on adolescent bipolar

disorder. In clinical nursing care processes, a mutual trust relationship needs to be established to

guide patient and parents to understand each other’s opinions and emotions. Accompanying to

review the influence and significance of the family interaction cycle, then find the causes of

conflict and solution, re-establish emotional connection and new method of interaction to reduce

parent-child conflicts. We hoped that this case will be provided to clinical nurses in the future to

care such cases of adolescent bipolar disorder and their parents' reference in parent-child

interaction conflict care.

The inclusion of students with disabilities in regular classrooms reform has been implemented for

over two decades internationally. Research has revealed that regular classroom teachers do not feel

fully equipped to teach in inclusive classrooms. Unless regular classroom teachers are well

prepared for inclusion, the reform is unlikely to succeed. The purpose of this presentation is to

present key findings from a systematic review of teachers’ perceived support needs to include

students with disabilities in their classrooms alongside their peers.

2. Results

The review identified 23 studies. The result revealed that professional development relating to

teaching students with disabilities and the availability of teacher assistants are the teachers’ major

perceived support needs to include students with disabilities in the regular classrooms. Adequate

resourcing, appropriate modification and adaptation of curriculum, inter-professionals

collaboration, adequate time and smaller class size were also identified as the perceived needs of

teachers to implement inclusive education.

More in-service professional development relating to educating students with disabilities

Professional development is the most frequently reported teachers’ perceived needs to implement

inclusive education. Eighteen of 23 studies reported that teachers felt that they were lack of

adequate knowledge to teach students with disabilities alongside their normal developmental peers.

Teachers in general believed that professional training could enhance their knowledge about the

characteristics of students with various types of disabilities as well as the relevant teaching skills to

meet the needs of students with disabilities. Besides, teachers prefer teaching programs, which

focus more on practical strategies to theory-based content.

Research has supported the claimed that professional training could improve teachers’ attitudes

towards inclusive education, self-efficacy in managing students with disabilities and knowledge

about teaching students with disabilities. Numerous studies have been conducted in the past to

evidence the positive impact of teacher training on teachers to implement inclusive education.

180

The availability of teacher assistants

Teachers perceived that the availability of teacher assistant is essential to include students with

disabilities. Twelve of 23 studies reported that teachers perceived that the presence of teacher

assistants could support students with disabilities to follow teachers’ instructions and ameliorate

their participations in class activities. Teachers constantly demanded for more support from

teacher assistants to assist the students with disabilities. Indeed, the number of teacher assistants is

increasing internationally (Butt, 2016).

Nevertheless, the provision of teacher assistants has been questioned in the literature. Research has

claimed that the over reliance on teacher assistants could have detriment effect on the inclusion of

students with disabilities in regular classrooms (Giangreco, 2010). Teacher assistants are often

assigned to support students with disabilities and they are asked to perform tasks e.g., teaching

small group of students and conducting individual assessments without the guidance from teachers

(Butt & Lowe, 2012). Yet the majority of these teacher assistants are untrained to manage and

teach students with disabilities. It has been argued that the role of teacher assistants should be set

clear for the whole schools. Teachers should use the support of teacher assistants wisely to

enhance the inclusive education reform.

Further perceived support needs

Teachers perceived that they needed more resourcing e.g., teaching materials and advice from

professionals. In addition, teachers felt that they needed support in modifying and adapting

curriculum to meet the different learning needs of students. Research has claimed that the same

curriculum was used for all students in some schools regardless of the diversities and disabilities of

students. Besides, teachers considered that smaller class size would allow them to provide

adequate support to address students’ diverse needs. Lastly, teachers felt that they needed

additional time to prepare and plan for lessons.

In sum, teacher perceived that the existing support was insufficient and they need more support to

include students with disabilities; however, not all their identified perceived needs are benefit to

the implementation of inclusive education.

Critical thinking is an important ability for nursing, it can help nurses to solve patient health

problem. Through interactive teaching using the method of concept-map, learners can integrate

into the learning process and enhance learning quality. The purpose of this study is to explore the

effectiveness of concept-map teaching on the critical thinking of nurses.


Data were collected from July 2017 to August 2017, 30 nurses were participated in this study.

Mean age of participants was 35.6 years. Majority were female (96.7%, n = 29), and more than

half had a 2-year degree from a technical education school (40%, n = 12). The mean of the score

on post-test 79.57 (SD = 8.61) was significantly (p = .016) higher than the pre-test 76.83 (SD =

8.14) which indicated that critical thinking was improved after the program. Additionally,

compared the three subscales of the score, ‘thinking out of the box’ which meant the nurse’s

confidence for nursing profession, and active solve problems was also significant (p = .009), .

However, the other 2 subscales did not reach the significant level. Our results also found that

years of be preceptor was associated with ‘thinking within the box’ (r=-.441, p = .015), which

indicated that more years of instruction can reduce ‘thinking within the box’ which meant reduce

the nurse’s immature negative thinking. Working years was associated with ‘systematic analysis’

(r = .381, p = .038), which meant that more years of working can enhance the ability of

‘systematic analysis’ of the nurses.

The concept maps teaching program can enhance the critical thinking ability of nurses, and

enhance the ability of the systematic analysis and problem-solving, Using concept-map teaching

to help nurses to identify problems from core problems of patients and seek out problem-solving

strategies can enhance logical thinking and could be useful in clinical setting for pre-employment

training and bed side staff teaching.

1. Background and objectives

Life of the students in the university is likely to be stressful for some of the students due to the

expectation for the study results and coping with changing social environments. For this reason,

we open the new elective course in Suranaree University of Technology, Muang,

Nakhonratchasima, Thailand. The course aims to provide the opportunity for the students to

learn the psychosocial aspect of life and to apply this concept to improve their quality of life.

The topics of study include; the nature and structure of mind and body, mind-body connection,

how to enjoy studying and working, how to cope with our emotions and stressful situations,

communication skill using deep listening, deep looking and deep understanding, how to create

compassion and true love and be open-minded, how to have a noble life. The objective of the

research work is to evaluate the possible improvement of the quality of life of the students in

term of happiness index after completion of the class.


The results show that forty students (40%) have higher happiness index, fifty nine students (59%)

have the same happiness index, and one student has less happiness index after the completion of

the class. This results indicate that this new freely-elective 3-credit course entitled “spiritual

health care” is able to improve the quality of life of the university students in term of happiness

index. The results of this study support that this kind of the university course emphasizing on

psychosocial aspect of life and its application should be offered to the students in the university

to improve the quality of life and help them to be more successful in the university study and

possibly for their lifes.

Late-Evening Snacking Improves Liver Functions in Patients with Liver

Cirrhosis: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Chen-Ju Chen*, Huan-Fang Lee

National Cheng Kung University Hospital,


Abstract

Background and Aim

Loss of skeletal muscle mass, or sarcopenia, is the most common complication of cirrhosis,

occurred in up to 60% of patients with liver cirrhosis. Reduce post-absorptive (fasting) phase by

eating late-evening snacks (LES) is a potential intervention to improve substrate utilization and

reverse sarcopenia. Cirrhosis results in impaired protein synthesis and a status of easy hunger. An

increased rate of gluconeogenesis and alterations in skeletal muscle signaling pathways result in

anabolic resistance and the subsequent loss of muscle mass or sarcopenia in patients with liver

cirrhosis.

Result

Our analysis included eight studies comprising 341 patients (167 in LES groups and 174 in

control groups), 185 of 341 patients were liver cirrhosis (LC) with hepatocellular carcinoma

(HCC). Seven of the eight eligible studies were randomized control trials (RCTs) and one was a

controlled clinical trial (CCT). The results of meta-analysis showed LES intervention helped to

maintain liver reserves. These eight studies demonstrated that LES intervention had significant

effects for liver biochemical parameters on albumin, ammonia and

PT, with respective effect sizes of 0.233 (95% CI = [0.009, 0.457]), −0.425 (95% CI =

[-0.796,-0.055]), and −0.589 (95% CI = [−1.168, −0.010]); liver enzymes include AST and ALT,

with respective effect sizes of −0.320 (95% CI = [-0.598, −0.043]) and −0.284 (95% CI =

[−0.553, −0.014]). No significant effect was observed on total bilirubin, with an effect size of

−0.232 (95% CI = [−0.506, 0.042]). Studies on clinical signs of liver dysfunction showed lower

occurrence rates of ascites (0.33; 95% CI = [0.13, 0.81]) and HE (0.20; 95% CI = [0.03, 1.60])

than in the control group. LES had no significant effect on CPS.

Conclusions

The overall results of the meta-analysis indicated that having LES can improve liver function

reserve for patients with LC, with or without HCC. LES is a promising intervention for reversing

anabolic resistance and the sarcopenia of cirrhosis, resulting in an improved quality of life for

patients with cirrhosis. Future studies are required so that healthcare workers are better able to

advise patients with LC on the effects of adjusting their diet.
