This study aims to examine the influence of investment returns and Risk Based Capital (RBC) Tabarru Funds to the profit of sharia life insurance in Indonesia from 2014-2019. This study The type of this research is quantitative research with descriptive verification as a method. This research method uses descriptive verification method with quantitative approach. The data used in this study were sourced from the financial statements of Islamic life insurance companies in Indonesia for the 2014-2019 period. Then the data obtained were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis and hypothesis testing consisting of t test and f test with the help of SPSS 21 software. The sampling technique uses non probability sampling with purposive sampling technique. Based on the results of the study it can be seen that the development of investment returns on Sharia Life Insurance in Indonesia has fluctuated and even suffered losses. While the development of Risk Based Capital (RBC) has increased and decreased but overall above 120% as determined by the government. Likewise, the profits earned in each year fluctuate. The results of statistical tests show that investment results partially have a positive effect on profit and Risk Based Capital (RBC) of Tabarru funds partially has a negative effect on profit. Simultaneously investment return and Risk Based Capital (RBC) affect on profit. In addition, the results of the coefficient of determination (R2) were obtained which obtained a value of 81%. This shows that the variable investment returns and Risk Based Capital (RBC) can affect earnings by 81% and the remaining 19% is influenced by other variables not used in this study.

The objective of the present study was to perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for growth curve parameters using nonlinear models that fit original weight–age records. In this study, data from 808 Chinese Simmental beef cattle that were weighed at 0, 6, 12, and 18 months of age were used to fit the growth curve. The Gompertz model showed the highest coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.954). The parameters’ mature body weight (A), time-scale parameter (b), and maturity rate (K) were treated as phenotypes for single-trait GWAS and multi-trait GWAS. In total, 9, 49, and 7 significant SNPs associated with A, b, and K were identified by single-trait GWAS; 22 significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified by multi-trait GWAS. Among them, we observed several candidate genes, including PLIN3, KCNS3, TMCO1, PRKAG3, ANGPTL2, IGF-1, SHISA9, and STK3, which were previously reported to associate with growth and development. Further research for these candidate genes may be useful for exploring the full genetic architecture underlying growth and development traits in livestock.

AbstractWe established a stochastic individual-based model and simulated the whole process of occurrence, development, and control of the coronavirus disease epidemic and the infectors and patients leaving Hubei Province before the traffic was closed in China. Additionally, the basic reproduction number (R0) and number of infectors and patients who left Hubei were estimated using the coordinate descent algorithm. The median R0 at the initial stage of the epidemic was 4.97 (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.82–5.17). Before the traffic lockdown was implemented in Hubei, 2000 (95% CI 1982–2030) infectors and patients had left Hubei and traveled throughout the country. The model estimated that if the government had taken prevention and control measures 1 day later, the cumulative number of laboratory-confirmed patients in the whole country would have increased by 32.1%. If the lockdown of Hubei was imposed 1 day in advance, the cumulative number of laboratory-confirmed patients in other provinces would have decreased by 7.7%. The stochastic model could fit the officially issued data well and simulate the evolution process of the epidemic. The intervention measurements nationwide have effectively curbed the human-to-human transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a flexible growth model that constitutes a suitable generalization of the well-known Gompertz model. We perform an analysis of various features of interest, including a sensitivity analysis of the initial value and the three parameters of the model. We show that the considered model provides a good fit to some real datasets concerning the growth of the number of individuals infected during the COVID-19 outbreak, and software failure data. The goodness of fit is established on the ground of the ISRP metric and the $$d_2$$ d 2 -distance. We also analyze two time-inhomogeneous stochastic processes, namely a birth-death process and a birth process, whose means are equal to the proposed growth curve. In the first case we obtain the probability of ultimate extinction, being 0 an absorbing endpoint. We also deal with a threshold crossing problem both for the proposed growth curve and the corresponding birth process. A simulation procedure for the latter process is also exploited.

ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan pola konsumsi ikan di Indonesia dan mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi permintaan ikan menurut karakteristik rumah tangga di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan data SUSENAS yang dilaporkan oleh Badan Pusat Statistik pada bulan Maret 2016. Pola konsumsi ikan dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan model permintaan ikan dianalisis dengan menggunakan pendekatan model Linnear Approximation Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS). Hasil riset menunjukkan bahwa pola konsumsi rumah tangga di Indonesia dikelompokkan menjadi konsumsi ikan air laut segar sebesar 22.10 kg/kapita/tahun, ikan air tawar/payau segar sebesar 16.75 kg/kapita/tahun, udang segar sebesar 9.58 kg/kapita/tahun dan ikan olahan sebesar 4.22 kg/kapita/tahun. Dugaan model permintaan memberikan hasil cukup baik dengan 82.15% dari semua peubah berpengaruh signifikan terhadap fungsi permintaan kelompok ikan dan koefisien determinasi sebesar 27.06%. Nilai elastisitas pendapatan mengindikasikan bahwa seluruh kelompok ikan merupakan barang normal dan ikan olahan cenderung inelastis, sedangkan dari nilai elastisitas harga menunjukkan tanda negatif yang sesuai dengan teori ekonomi. Nilai elastisitas silang antar kelompok ikan menunjukkan hubungan yang bervariasi antar kelompok. Implikasi kebijakan yang dapat disarankan untuk meningkatkan konsumsi ikan segar adalah dengan peningkatan ketersediaan ikan melalui kebijakan peningkatan produksi dan peningkatan efektifitas distribusi ikan. Kebijakan promosi dan edukasi masih diperlukan untuk meningkatkan konsumsi ikan olahan karena sifatnya yang inelastis  terhadap perubahan harga dan pendapatan.Title: Analysis of Fish Consumption Patterns and Fish Demand Model Based on Household’s Characteristics in IndonesiaABSTRACTThis study aims to describe the pattern of fish consumption in Indonesia and to identify factors affecting household’s fish demand in Indonesia as well as estimating the elasticities of income and price. The data analyzed were mainly obtained from the SUSENAS Database-a nation social economy survey  conduct by the Indonesian Bureau of Statistic (BPS- during march 2016. Fish consumption patterns were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis, while fish demand models were analyzed by Linnear Approximation Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS). Research shows that household consumption patterns in Indonesia are grouped into consumption of marine fish at 22.10 kg / capita / year, freshwater/brackish fish at 16.75 kg / capita / year, fresh shrimp at 9.58 kg / capita / year and processed fish amounted to 4.22 kg / capita / year. The estimation of the demand model gives quite good results with82,15% of all variables have a significant effect on the demand function of fish groups and the coefficient of determination is 27.06%. The value of income elasticity showed that all fish groups are normal goods and were negatively related to prices. The cross elasticities showed variation relationship between fish groups. With such result, in order for the government to be able to push the fish consumption level furtherwould require an increasing fish availbility through policies to increase production and effectiveness of fish distribution for fresh fish. Meanwhile education and promotion policies are necessary to increase consumption of processed fish because of their inelastic demand for changes in prices and income.

Background: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a newly identified highly infectious disease. It has affected almost every country including Nepal causing a pandemic situation. Most of the properties of SARS-CoV-2 are not known and still under intense investigation. Due to high mutation rate, it reappears in many countries in the form of new variant. In Nepal, second wave impact of COVID-19 is mainly caused by newly found delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. In this case, the mathematical modelling is noted to play important role to understand control strategies for the spread of coronavirus. Aims and Objective: To analyze the second wave impact by modelling the data of COVID-19 cases in Nepal. Materials and Methods: We have analyzed COVID-19 daily cases and deaths reported by Ministry of Health and Population, Government of Nepal from April 1 to May 31, 2021. A logistic model has been used to present the trend line of COVID-19 infection in Nepal, based on the law of population growth developed by Verhulst. Results: The results show a good fit between observed and predicted data by logistic model as indicated by coefficient of determination having value near to unity. The point of inflection from the logistic model predicted a maximum of 9951 daily new cases. The maximum number of cumulative cases estimated at the end of second wave was found to be 307293 with 95% confidence interval. Conclusion: Logistic model properly describes the growth of COVID-19 cases with time. This type of data modelling and analysis will be very useful in predicting the upcoming trend of COVID-19 in Nepal as a basis for making health policy management by the government.
