Konsep Perlindungan Hukum Perbankan Nasional Dikaitkan dengan Kebijakan Kepemilikan Tunggal terhadap Kepemilikan Saham oleh Pihak Asing dalam Rangka Mencapai Tujuan Negara Kesejahteraan
This research analyzes whether the sole proprietorship policy can support national banking monitoring andhow this policy is implemented in the banking globalization, legal protection for national banking and concept of national banking development in globalization era in relation to the objectives of welfare state. The research uses normative juridical method with descriptive analysis. The findings are: first, the sole proprietorship policy does not apply to under 25% shareholding of a bank or share acquisitions in several banks. Second, the nature of sole proprietorship policy is futuristic, so it can reduce the discretion for national banking shareholding by foreign/global investors. Third, legal protections for national banking towards domination of national banking shareholding have been ineffective because the sole proprietorship policy only incorporates the same proprietorship of several banks. Fourth, in globalization era, the concept of national banking regulation independency for capital is adjusted to the business segment of each bank. In addition, an integrative monitoring should be applied to national banking activities, particularly to foreign parties who hold shares in several national banks without highly influenced by global banking regulation recommendation
An Agent Based Approach of Collective Foraging
In this paper the behaviour of a bee colony is modeled as a
society of communicating agents acting in parallel and synchroniz-ing
their behaviour. Two computational models for defining the agents
behaviour are introduced and compared and tools developed for these
models are briefly illustrated.Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología TIC2002-04220-C03-0
The Effects of Exercise Over Time on Levels of Anxiety and Self-Efficacy Among Women Undergraduates
Exercise has been shown to reduce anxiety. However, many people find exercise programs difficult to maintain. Researchers are now identifying factors associated with exercise adherence including selfefficacy. Teaching these skills to people may be important for the use of exercise as an intervention in reducing levels of anxiety. This study monitored levels of anxiety over time among women undergraduate students who were involved in four exercise conditions. The results suggest that while physical activity is associated with significantly higher levels of physical self-efficacy, it is not as closely associated with lower levels of trait anxiety
Ocular emergencies in children: Demographics, origin, symptoms, and most frequent diagnoses
To describe the epidemiology of ocular emergencies in children in a hospital-based emergency room (ER). Methods. ,e
medical reports of all children, 14 years of age and younger, who attended La Paz University Hospital (Madrid, Spain) ER from
September 2015 to August 2016 were prospectively collected. Demographic data, origin, symptom for consultation, diagnostic
tests, final diagnosis, and final referral of patients were recorded. Results. A total of 774 children were attended: 57% boys and 43%
girls. Mean age was 5 years (SD 4.10 years, range 0–14 years) without significant differences between sexes. Most children went to
the ER because parents or teachers took the decision (75%), 24% were referred from the paediatric ER for evaluation, and 0.78%
were referred from another hospital or by an out-clinic ophthalmologist. ,e reasons for consultation were red eyes (61%),
traumatism (17%), referred from the paediatrician to have the fundus explored in children with headache (7%), eyelids problems
(7%), and visual loss (7%). ,e most frequent diagnoses were infectious conjunctivitis (29%), corneal erosion (17%), normal
examination (15%), and allergic conjunctivitis (13%). ,e most severe cases (visual loss, acute strabismus, and leucocoria) were
referred by the paediatricians and represented 4.65% of the total patients. Visits occurred more frequently during the third
trimester of the year (July–September), with a higher incidence of eye trauma in summer. Conclusions. Infectious conjunctivitis
was the most frequent pathology. It is necessary to increase public awareness about the symptoms, the way of transmission, and
treatment. Ocular trauma was also a common cause of presentation and the majority were contusional and mild. ,ere is also a
need for education of parents, teachers, and coaches regarding the potential for eye injuries. Ophthalmologists and paediatricians
must take an active role in educating people about the prophylactic measures to prevent eye injuries in childre
<i>Gaia</i> Data Release 1. Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties
Context. At about 1000 days after the launch of Gaia we present the first Gaia data release, Gaia DR1, consisting of astrometry and photometry for over 1 billion sources brighter than magnitude 20.7.
Aims. A summary of Gaia DR1 is presented along with illustrations of the scientific quality of the data, followed by a discussion of the limitations due to the preliminary nature of this release.
Methods. The raw data collected by Gaia during the first 14 months of the mission have been processed by the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC) and turned into an astrometric and photometric catalogue.
Results. Gaia DR1 consists of three components: a primary astrometric data set which contains the positions, parallaxes, and mean proper motions for about 2 million of the brightest stars in common with the HIPPARCOS and Tycho-2 catalogues – a realisation of the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) – and a secondary astrometric data set containing the positions for an additional 1.1 billion sources. The second component is the photometric data set, consisting of mean G-band magnitudes for all sources. The G-band light curves and the characteristics of ∼3000 Cepheid and RR-Lyrae stars, observed at high cadence around the south ecliptic pole, form the third component. For the primary astrometric data set the typical uncertainty is about 0.3 mas for the positions and parallaxes, and about 1 mas yr−1 for the proper motions. A systematic component of ∼0.3 mas should be added to the parallax uncertainties. For the subset of ∼94 000 HIPPARCOS stars in the primary data set, the proper motions are much more precise at about 0.06 mas yr−1. For the secondary astrometric data set, the typical uncertainty of the positions is ∼10 mas. The median uncertainties on the mean G-band magnitudes range from the mmag level to ∼0.03 mag over the magnitude range 5 to 20.7.
Conclusions. Gaia DR1 is an important milestone ahead of the next Gaia data release, which will feature five-parameter astrometry for all sources. Extensive validation shows that Gaia DR1 represents a major advance in the mapping of the heavens and the availability of basic stellar data that underpin observational astrophysics. Nevertheless, the very preliminary nature of this first Gaia data release does lead to a number of important limitations to the data quality which should be carefully considered before drawing conclusions from the data
The role of surface to bulk ratio on the development of magnetic anisotropy in high Ga content Fe100-xGax thin films
In this work we show the development of bulk in-plane magnetic anisotropy in high Ga-content (Ga = 28 at. %) Fe_(100-x)Ga_x thin films as the layer thickness increases. This result is in clear contrast with the generally reported decrease of this anisotropy with the film thickness. We propose the interrelation between the enhancement of the Ga-pair correlations and a collinear distortion of the bcc structure within the sample plane as the origin of the magnetic anisotropy. Our results have been obtained by employing a combination of long and local range structural probe techniques with bulk and surface magnetic characterization techniques. The key point shown in this work is that the in-plane structural anisotropy and hence, the magnetic anisotropy, are developed as the layer thickness increases. This fact strongly suggests that the surface to bulk free energy ratio plays a key role in the formation of ordered phases with a distorted bcc cell in Fe_(100-x)Ga_x films with x around 28 at. %. Our work also shows the arising of new phenomena in these high Ga content alloys due to the close correlation between structural and magnetic properties

Conformational dissection of a viral intrinsically disordered domain involved in cellular transformation
Intrinsic disorder is abundant in viral genomes and provides conformational plasticity to its protein products. In order to gain insight into its structure-function relationships, we carried out a comprehensive analysis of structural propensities within the intrinsically disordered N-terminal domain from the human papillomavirus type-16 E7 oncoprotein (E7N). Two E7N segments located within the conserved CR1 and CR2 regions present transient α-helix structure. The helix in the CR1 region spans residues L8 to L13 and overlaps with the E2F mimic linear motif. The second helix, located within the highly acidic CR2 region, presents a pH-dependent structural transition. At neutral pH the helix spans residues P17 to N29, which include the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor LxCxE binding motif (residues 21-29), while the acidic CKII-PEST region spanning residues E33 to I38 populates polyproline type II (PII) structure. At pH 5.0, the CR2 helix propagates up to residue I38 at the expense of loss of PII due to charge neutralization of acidic residues. Using truncated forms of HPV-16 E7, we confirmed that pH-induced changes in α-helix content are governed by the intrinsically disordered E7N domain. Interestingly, while at both pH the region encompassing the LxCxE motif adopts α-helical structure, the isolated 21-29 fragment including this stretch is unable to populate an α-helix even at high TFE concentrations. Thus, the E7N domain can populate dynamic but discrete structural ensembles by sampling α-helix-coil-PII-ß-sheet structures. This high plasticity may modulate the exposure of linear binding motifs responsible for its multi-target binding properties, leading to interference with key cell signaling pathways and eventually to cellular transformation by the virus.Instituto de Física de Líquidos y Sistemas Biológico
