Diare pada balita masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang penting di Indonesia. Persepsi keseriusan penyakit diare yang rendah merupakan kendala upaya menurunkan angka kesakitan diare. Penelitian yang menggunakan desain cross sectional ini bertujuan menguji hubungan antara faktor pengetahuan, pengalaman kontak, dan kepercayaan, dengan persepsi ibu terhadap diare pada balita. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah ibu balita yang bermukim di Kecamatan Bekasi Utara, Jawa barat. Dari hasil penelitian terbukti bahw pengetahuan, pengalaman kontak, dan kepercayaan berhubungan secara bermakna dengan persepsi ibu terhadap diare pada balita. Ibu balita yang berpengetahuan rendah berisiko 2,5 kali untuk berpersepsi diare sebagai penyakit biasa daripada ibu yang berpengetahuan tinggi (OR: 2,535; 95%CI: 1,321 – 4,866) setelah variabel pendidikan dikendalikan. Ibu balita yang tidak pernah berpengalaman kontak berisiko hampir 5 kali lebih besar untuk berpersepsi diare sebagai penyakit biasa daripada ibu balita yang pernah kontak (OR: 4,761; 95% CI: 1,853 - 12,235). Ibu balita dengan kepercayaan rendah berisiko 0,4 kali untuk mempersepsikan diare sebagai penyakit biasa lebih kecil daripada ibu dengan kepercayaan tinggi setelah variabel jumlah balita dikendalikan (OR: 0,392; 95%CI: 0,195 - 0,765). Upaya memperbaiki persepsi ibu balita disarankan dengan meningkatkan program promosi kesehatan yang dilakukan melalui peningkatan pengetahuan, menciptakan pengalaman dengan model simulasi, serta merasionalkan kepercayaan tentang diare pada balita di masyarakat.Kata kunci : Diare pada balita, persepsi, pengetahuan, pengalaman kontak, kepercayaanAbstractDiarrhea among under-five children is still a major problem in developing countries such as Indonesia. The low perception to the seriousness of diarrhea is one of the obstacles in decreasing the diarrhea frequency. Using cross sectional design, this research aims to find the relationship between knowledge, contact experience, and belief about diarrhea on under five children with the perception of mothers towards the seriousness of diarrhea. The research population is mothers with under five children in Bekasi Utara district, and 175 subjects were selected randomly across 6 regions (kelurahan). This research showed that knowledge, contact experience and belief have significant relation with the perception towards the seriousness of diarrhea on under five children. Mothers who had limited knowledge had chance 2,5 times more than mothers who had wide knowledge to perceive that diarrhea was not serious (OR: 2.535; 95%CI: 1.321 – 4.866) after education variable was controlled. Mothers who had no experience with diarrhea had chance almost 5 times more than mothers who had experience to perceive that diarrhea was not serious (OR: 4.761; 95%CI: 1.853 – 12.235). Mothers who had low belief had chance 0.4 times more than mothers who had high belief to perceive that diarrhea was not serious (OR: 0.392; 95%CI: 0.195 – 0.765) after the number of under five children was controlled. The effort to improve the perception of mothers towards diarrhea can be conducted by improving the program to promote health, such as enhancing the knowledge/ awareness, creating contact experience by simulation model, and by rationalizing belief about diarrhea.Keywords : Diarrhea, perception, knowledge, contact experience, belief

The Relationship

Background: Children less than five years worldwide are known to be vulnerable and susceptible in many respects, especially on matters on health. Nutritional deficiencies and malnutrition generally affect children more than any other group. Poor nutrition occurs in developing countries, as well as in more prosperous areas of the world. Objective: The objective of this study focused on the effect of maternal Occupation and Age on feeding habit, and nutritional status of under-five children in Kibiya (rural) and Dala (Urban) local government areas of Kano State Nigeria, Study Design: A descriptive research design was adopted by this study to assess the level of nutritional status of under-five-children and to determine the relationship between age, occupation, economic status, attitudes and practices of mothers. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data on nutritional status, knowledge, attitudes and nutrition-related practices for a limited time period. Place and Duration of the Study: The study was conducted in two local government areas in Kano State, DALA and KIBIYA LGA, between February, 2019 to July, 2019. Methods: Descriptive research design was used for data collection. 198 and 170 mothers with their children from Kibiya and Dala respectively, were used for the study. Data generated was analyzed using Spss, Excel and was presented using frequency table, percentage, mean, standard deviation and correlation. Results: In Kibiya, there was a very weak, positive correlation between maternal age under-five nutritional status with the exception of weight-for-height, which was found to be statistically significant (p<0.005). In Dala, the relationship was a very weak negative correlation with the exception of height-for-age which is positive correlated (p<0.005). Majority of the children were severely stunted with 44.1% in Dala and 56.1% in Kibya, but there was no significant difference in the prevalence of severe stunting between the two LGAs. Furthermore, majority of the under-fives were within the range of adequate weight: 45.5% Dala and 58.2% Kibiya. However, the prevalence of severely underweight children in Kibiya is 11.2%. This is significantly higher compared to Dala with 2.4% which means severe underweight children in Kibiya is almost five times that in Dala. Prevalence of wasting (mild, moderate and severe) among under-five children were significantly higher in Dala compared to Kibiya (p<0.01). Conclusion: The findings from this study shows that maternal Age is a significant factor that affect the nutritional status of the children in  both local government but maternal Occupation has less impact on nutritional status of the children.

The Relationship

The relationship between diversification, relatedness and performance has long been a controversial issue in mainstream strategic management research. Research in this area, however, has focused primarily on developed countries. This study argues that the conclusions drawn from developed countries may not apply to developing countries. In an investigation of 227 publicly-listed companies in China, this study found that: 1) firm scale significantly contributes to the improvement of economic performance; 2) relatedness correlates negatively with firm performance, and 3) the relationship between diversification and performance fits the intermediate model. This study also provided evidence to support the argument that differences do exist in the rationales between firms in developed and developing countries.

Non Audit Services

The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effect of non-audit services fees on the relationship between size, profitability, leverage, capital intensity, inventory intensity, financial distress and ethnicity with aggressive tax planning. This study uses a sample from companies listed on the Malaysian (Access, Certainty, Efficiency (ACE) Market from 2014 to 2018, comprising of 105 firm year-observations. The finding shows that the non-audit services fee moderate the relationship between size, profitability, leverage, inventory intensity, financial distress and ethnicity with aggressive tax planning except for capital intensity. It is hoped that the finding can assist readers in understanding the nature of companies listed on the ACE Market, particularly their behaviour towards tax planning. This study contributes to knowledge in the areas of financial accounting and taxation specifically on aggressive tax planning, by introducing the moderating variable of non-audit services fee. The uniqueness of the use of companies listed on the Malaysian ACE market will provide new avenue on the discussion on an aggressive tax planning issue, which usually more focus on big firms. The framework used in the present study could serve as a basis for research in other developing countries or regions.

The Relationship

The relationship between openness and economic growth in developed anddeveloping countries has been of continuing interest in both the theoretical andempirical literature. In this paper. we employ a vector autoregressive (VAR)model and error correction techniques to test for the existence and nature of thecausal relationship between output level, inward FDI and exports across across-section of both developed and developing countries using data from 1960-2001.Our main objective is to analyze the extent and sources of internationallinkages between openness and economic performance. The evidence supportshi-directional causality between exports growth and economic growth; the economicgrowth and FDI relationship has mixed results.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study to examine the relationship between financial development and human development in the health and welfare dimensions of developing countries. This study aims to determine whether the financial developments of the countries have an effect on the basic human development of the individuals and whether human development indicators have an impact on financial development. In this study, the relationship between financial development and human development has been tried to be revealed by using data obtained from developing countries. Financial development levels of the countries were measured with the developed financial development index. The index is calculated by using M3 / GDP, private sector loans / GDP and loans to banks from private sector / GDP ratios. The human development index is calculated by considering various health indicators and GNP per capita. The data includes annual data for the period 1970-2016. Pedroni and Kao cointegration analysis and Dumitrescu & Hurlin panel causality analysis were performed in the study. According to the results of the study, the cointegration relationship was determined between the two variables. There is also a two-way causality between the variables.

The Relationship

Microexpressions do exist, and they are regarded as valid cues to deception by many researchers, furthermore, there is a lot of empirical evidence which substantiates this claim. However, some researchers don’t think the microexpression can be a way to catch a liar. The author elucidates the theories predicting that looking for microexpressions can be a way to catch a liar, and notes that some data can support for the utilization of microexpressions as a good way to detect deception. In addition, the author thinks that the mixed results in the area of investigating microexpressions and deception detection may be moderated by the stake. More empirical studies which employ high-stake lies to explore the relationship between microexpressions and deception detection are needed.

The Relationship

Over the past decade, bilateral relations between China and Russia have attracted the attention of the whole world. As neighbors and rapidly developing countries, China and Russia are becoming increasingly important in the international arena. The strategic partnership and interaction between China and Russia occupy a significant place in the politics of both countries. Cooperation is developing dynamically in various fields, primarily in politics. After 2012, a change of government took place in China and Russia, which brought new changes to international relations. Studying the involvement of the media in this process can clarify their impact on international relations, in particular, their role in the relationship between China and Russia.
