THE RELATIONSHIP OF MOTHER'S EDUCATION AND OCCUPATION TO STUNTING EVENTS IN TODDLERS

In view of the aftereffects of Septamarini's exploration in the Journal of Nutrition College in 2019 said that mothers with low education and knowledge are at risk of having stunted children. Working mothers cannot take care of their children so this can be one of the risk factors for children to experience stunting and according to the 2019 SSGBI report states that the prevalence of stunting in kids under five, especially in Aceh province is 21.9%, West Aceh district is 24.5% . The high pervasiveness of stunting in youngsters under five in West Aceh is one of the general medical issues that must be addressed so as not to adversely affect the quality of the nation's generation of resources. Research objectives: This review intends to decide the connection among education and mother's occupation on the occurrence of stunting in kids under five years of age in Kawai XVI District. Research method: This examination utilizes insightful exploration technique with cross sectional strategy. The populace in this review were moms who had kids under five in Kawai XIV District. Information investigation in this review incorporates univariate examination, and bivariate examination. Results: The outcomes got that there is a huge connection between maternal schooling and the frequency of stunting p-value: 0.043 furthermore there is no critical connection between mother's work and the frequency of stunting in toddlers with p-value: 0.086.

Cross-sectional and time-series momentum returns: Is China different?

We compare the performance of the time-series (TS) and cross-sectional (CS) momentum strategies in the US and China. The CS strategies by default are zero net investment strategies, whereas the TS strategies take on a time-varying net long position in risky assets. In the US, we confirm that the performance of the TS and CS strategies are not substantially different, as it is explained by a time-varying investment in risky assets. However, we find positive and significant return differences between the TS and CS strategies in China, after adjusting the CS strategies for a time-varying investment in risky assets. Our results suggest that in China, the difference between the performance of the TS and CS strategies might not be only limited to a time-varying investment in risky assets.

Is SMEs Able to Construct Business Strategy to Improve Its Performance Using Its Own Ability? (Study On SMEs Karawo Handicraft in City of Gorontalo, Indonesia)

The objectives of this study were to analyze and investigate the human capital resource of SMEs to achieve the expected level of performance and to see if the quality of human capital had been appropriate enough to be able to apply certain business strategy. This study also intended to see if the cost leadership strategy, differentiation strategy, as well as appropriate focus strategy to improve the performance of SMEs. This study employed a survey design in which researcher conducted a survey to managers or owner of 68 SMEs of Karawo handicraft in Gorontalo city. This study also employed the structural equation or PLS approach using warpPLS application to analyze the data. The finding of this study showed that the ability of the human capital owned by the SMEs had not yet maximized in improving its performance. The role of the mediation business strategy (cost leadership strategy and differentiation strategy) have been appropriate and matched the ability of the human capital to improve the performance of SMEs. The result of this study enriches the body of knowledge related to the resource based theory and the development of strategic management of the human capital investment for the implementation of business strategy to achieve good performance and system. This study also offers practical benefit for managers or owners of SMEs, and government in developing the business. The data were collected using cross sectional strategy by analyzing the opinions and perception of the managers or owners of the business. Future researchers are encouraged to expand this by involving bigger number of sample and broader scope of study. Future researcher may also develop this study using mix method research design to verify and take action on the interesting result of this study related to the implementation of focus strategy based on the ability of the human capital which has been confirmed to have the highest coefficient path, yet did not have significant effect to the improvement of the performance without the involvement of mediational variables such as the combination of focus-cost strategy or focus-differentiation strategy. Keyword : Human capital, business strategy, cost leadership strategy, differentiation strategy, focus strategy, performance, SMEs

Cross-sectional and time-series momentum returns: are Islamic stocks different?

ABSTRACTWe search for differences in both unconditional and conditional momentum returns of Islamic and Non-Islamic stocks and test implications of competing behavioural theories that aim to explain momentum returns. Our results show that there is no significant difference in momentum returns between Islamic versus Non-Islamic stocks with respect to both cross-sectional (CS) and time-series (TS) momentum strategies even when we condition momentum returns on market dynamics, information uncertainty and idiosyncratic volatility. We also find that the TS strategy outperforms (underperforms) the CS strategy in market continuations (transitions) consistent with the recent evidence in the U.S. market.Furthermore, we find that CS and TS strategies of both Islamic and Non-Islamic stocks are profitable only when the market continues in the same state consistent with overconfidence driving momentum returns of both Islamic and Non-Islamic stocks.

Cross-Sectional and Time-Series Momentum Returns and Market Dynamics: Are Islamic Stocks Different?

We search for differences in both unconditional and conditional momentum returns of Islamic and Non-Islamic stocks and test implications of competing behavioral theories that aim to explain momentum returns. Our results show that there is no significant difference in momentum returns between Islamic versus Non-Islamic stocks with respect to both cross-sectional (CS) and time-series (TS) momentum strategies even when we condition momentum returns on market dynamics, information uncertainty (IU), and idiosyncratic volatility (IV). We also find that the TS strategy outperforms (underperforms) the CS strategy in market continuations (transitions) consistent with the recent evidence in the U.S. market. Furthermore, we find that CS and TS strategies of both Islamic and Non-Islamic stocks are profitable only when the market continues in the same state consistent with overconfidence driving momentum returns of both Islamic and Non-Islamic stocks.

Cross-Sectional and Time-Series Tests of Return Predictability: What Is the Difference?

We compare the performance of time-series (TS) and cross-sectional (CS) strategies based on past returns. While CS strategies are zero-net investment long/short strategies, TS strategies take on a time-varying net long investment in risky assets. For individual stocks, the difference between the performances of TS and CS strategies is largely due to this time-varying net long investment. With multiple international asset classes with heterogeneous return distributions, scaled CS strategies significantly outperform similarly scaled TS strategies.

Cross‐Sectional and Time Series Momentum Returns and Market States

AbstractRecent evidence on momentum returns shows that the time series (TS) strategy outperforms the cross‐sectional (CS) strategy. We present new evidence that this happens only when the market continues in the same state, up or down. In fact, we find that the TS strategy underperforms the CS strategy when the market transitions to a different state. Our results also show that the difference in momentum returns between TS and CS strategies is related to both the net long and net short positions of the TS strategy.

PERBEDAAN INDEKS KEBUTUHAN PERAWATAN PERIODONTAL (CPITN) ANAK NORMAL DAN ANAK TUNARUNGU

Background: Normal children had sensing capabilities to do oral health assessments. The inability to hear that was suffered by the deaf children caused obstacles to do oral health assessments. The dental and periodontal conditions were important for healthy life in general. The objective of this research was to know the difference Community Index Periodontal Treatment Needs (CPITN) between normal children in SD N 1 Tegaldowo Sragen with deaf children in SLB-B YPSLB Gemolong. Method: This research used observational method with Cross Sectional strategy. The subject of this research consist of 31 deaf children dan 83 normal children. Periodontal conditions from the two groups were measured by WHO probe. After the measurement, the CPITN index would be determined by looking at the highest score. The research was analyzed by using statistic non-parametric test from Mann-Whitney. Results: The result was 0.0003 (p<0.05), revealing there was a significant difference of CPITN index from normal children and deaf children. Conclusion: In conclusion, the highest periodontal status from normal children was gingival bleeding that meant they need to be given a conseling and demonstation about oral helath. The highest score from deaf children revealed the presence of subgingival and supragingival calculus that meant they needed to be given a counseling and demonstration including scaling treatment.

Cross-Sectional and Time-Series Momentum Returns and Market States

Recent evidence on momentum returns shows that the time series (TS) strategy outperforms the cross‐sectional (CS) strategy. We present new evidence that this happens only when the market continues in the same state, up or down. In fact, we find that the TS strategy underperforms the CS strategy when the market transitions to a different state. Our results also show that the difference in momentum returns between TS and CS strategies is related to both the net long and net short positions of the TS strategy.
