This paper provides global evidence supporting the hypothesis that expected return models are enhanced by the inclusion of variables that describe the evolution of book-to-market—changes in book value, changes in price, and net share issues. This conclusion is supported using data representing North America, Europe, Japan, and Asia. Results are highly consistent across all global regions and hold for small and big market capitalization subsets as well as in different subperiods. Variables measured over the past twelve months are more relevant than variables measured over the past thirty-six months, demonstrating that recent news is more important than old news.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab isu pokok didalam pengelolaan konflik kelembagaan pendidikan Islam pada Pondok Pesantren Nahd}atul Wat}an mengenai: sumber otoritas dan otoritas dalam mengatur institusi bidang pendidikan Islam di Pesantren Nahd} atul Wat}an Lombok Timur NTB, dan penyebab konflik dalam lembaga tersebut. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan pokok tersebut adalah dengan menggunakan teori non-Marxist-structuralis sebagai alat analisa untuk menjawab permasalahan di atas. Diantara teori lainnya, dikemukakan oleh Ralf Dahrendorf, yang menyatakan bahwa masyarakat dipersatukan oleh suatu ketiadaan kebebasan. Posisi tertentu di dalam masyarakat untuk mendelegasikan kekuasaan dan otoritas ke posisi lainnya, perbedaan di dalam distribusi otoritas tersebut dapat menjadi faktor perbedaan dari sistematis konflik sosial. Berbagai posisi di dalam masyarakat mempunyai mutu dari perbedaan otoritas. Otoritas tersebut tidak terlepas pada individu itu sendiri namun didalam posisi riset ini menggunakan suatu pendekatan kualitatif, data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam (indepth-interview), pengamatan dan dokumentasi, kemudian menafsirkan, atau menterjemahkan kedalam bahasa peneliti. Data ini untuk menghasilkan dan menguraikan berbagai kondisi dan situasi yang tidak satupun terlepas dari obyek penelitian, dan menghubungkan sejumlah variabel, dan uraian lebih lanjut yang akan dihasilkan obyek riset, untuk memperoleh kesimpulan. Studi ini mengemukakan bahwa besar kecilnya kesuksesan suatu organisiation mengacu pada petunjuk dimasa lalu atau 12 tahun yang lalu telah dibangun 820 sekolah di Kelompok Pancor atau 900 sekolah di Kelompok Anjani di seluruh provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat. Abstrak: This research is to answer fundamental issues in conflict management institutions of Islamic education in Pondok Pesantren Nahd}atul Wat}an namely: first,. source of authority and authority in managing the praxis of Islamic educational institutions in boarding Nahdlatul Wathan East Lombok NTB causes of conflict and management of educational institutions that are in conflict Nahd}atul Wat}an. To answer the key question is, non-Marxist-structuralist theory as a tool of analysis used in answering the above problems. Theory, among others, presented by Ralf Dahrendorf, who stated that the society united by a lack of freedom imposed. Certain position in society to delegate power and authority to another position, the difference in the distribution of authority becomes the determining factor of social conflict sistemati. Various positions in the community have the quality of different authorities. Authority does not lie inside the individual but in the position of this research uses a qualitative approach, data obtained from in-depth interviews (indepthinterview), observation and documentation, then interpreted, or translated to language researchers. These data to generate and describe the various conditions and situations none of the research object, and connecting these variables, and further description will be generated about the object of research, then the conclusions will be obtained. Our study argues that the organisiation has somewhat succeeded in moving toward the latter direction so much so that in the past 12 years or so it has built 820 schools according to Pancor group or 900 schools according to Anjani group across the provinse of Nusa Tenggara Barat.

A continuum survey of the galactic-centre region has been carried out at Parkes at 20 cm wavelength over the areal11= 355° to 5°,b11= -3° to +3° (Kerr and Sinclair 1966, 1967). This is a larger region than has been covered in such surveys in the past. The observations were done as declination scans.

During the last 10 years, the writer has presented evidence indicating that the Moon was captured by the Earth and that the large collisions with its surface occurred within a surprisingly short period of time. These observations have been a continuous preoccupation during the past years and some explanation that seemed physically possible and reasonably probable has been sought.

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.

It is perhaps one of the most important characteristics of the past decade in astronomy that the evolution of some major classes of astronomical objects has become accessible to detailed research. The theory of the evolution of individual stars has developed into a substantial body of quantitative investigations. The evolution of galaxies, particularly of our own, has clearly become a subject for serious research. Even the history of the solar system, this close-by intriguing puzzle, may soon make the transition from being a subject of speculation to being a subject of detailed study in view of the fast flow of new data obtained with new techniques, including space-craft.

During the past several years, a systematic search for novae in the Magellanic Clouds has been carried out at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. The Curtis Schmidt telescope, on loan to CTIO from the University of Michigan is used to obtain plates every two weeks during the observing season. An objective prism is used on the telescope. This provides additional low-dispersion spectroscopic information when a nova is discovered. The plates cover an area of 5°x5°. One plate is sufficient to cover the Small Magellanic Cloud and four are taken of the Large Magellanic Cloud with an overlap so that the central bar is included on each plate. The methods used in the search have been described by Graham and Araya (1971). In the CTIO survey, 8 novae have been discovered in the Large Cloud but none in the Small Cloud. The survey was not carried out in 1974 or 1976. During 1974, one nova was discovered in the Small Cloud by MacConnell and Sanduleak (1974).

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

The structure of insect salivary glands has been extensively investigated during the past decade; however, none have attempted scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in ultrastructural examinations of these secretory organs. This study correlates fine structure by means of SEM cryofractography with that of thin-sectioned epoxy embedded material observed by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Salivary glands of Gromphadorhina portentosa were excised and immediately submerged in cold (4°C) paraformaldehyde-glutaraldehyde fixative1 for 2 hr, washed and post-fixed in 1 per cent 0s04 in phosphosphate buffer (4°C for 2 hr). After ethanolic dehydration half of the samples were embedded in Epon 812 for TEM and half cryofractured and subsequently critical point dried for SEM. Dried specimens were mounted on aluminum stubs and coated with approximately 150 Å of gold in a cold sputtering apparatus.Figure 1 shows a cryofractured plane through a salivary acinus revealing topographical relief of secretory vesicles.
