Abstract Background Impaired growth in children can starts during pregnancy and continue to a few years after birth. Age of 0-2 year is considered as the critical window of growth after birth. This study aimed to investigate the influence of early growth towards growth in the pre-pubertal period. Methods The study was utilizing the Indonesian Family Life Survey panel data of 1993, 1997, and 2000, covered 13 out of 27 provinces. The sample was children aged 0-2 years (year 1993), 4-6 years (1997) and 7-9 years old (2000).The data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 13.0. Results About 77% of children who were stunting at 0-2 years and continued at age 4-6 years, remained stunting at ages 7-9 years; 59.5% who were stunting at 4-6 years, remained stunting at age 7-9 years; 10% who were normal at ages 0-2 and 4-6 years become stunting at age 7-9 years, and 16% among those who were stunting at age 0-2 year become normal at age 4-6 years. Multivariate analysis showed that children who were stunting at age 0-2 years and continued until age 4-6 years have 27 times risk of becoming stunting at age 7-9 and those who were stunting at age 4-6 years have 14 times risk. On the other hand, those who were stunting at age 0-2 years but became normal at age 4-6 years, were not related to the risk of becoming stunting at later age. Conclusion Stunted at age 7-9 years is appointed by shortness at the previous period especially when it began at age of 0-2 years and extended into age of 4-6 years. Particular concern has to be carefully interpreted for the evidence of regaining height of stunted children at 0-2 years into normal height at 4-6 years.

The aim of this paper is to provide new empirical evidence on the capital structure of companies. The author is going to analyze models used in previous literature, and these models will be applied to the sample selected. This sample is different from previous ones in time and characteristics. So it can be analyzed whether the type of company and the moment of time affect the financial structure of models. At the same time the author offers a new model that is representative of the variables that affect the corporate debt in this type of firms. Methodologically a multivariate analysis has been used with panel data on a sample of Spanish listed companies for the period 2003-2013. The sample had not been used in previous studies and the time horizon is characterized by periods of both boom and difficulties and even crises in corporate finance. First the author analyzes a series of models developed from previous studies in which different variables are analyzed, on the other hand has been discussed a proposed based on the results observed model. It is also reported about the evolution of the debt and the level of intangibles by the industry. The results are consistent with the existence of influence of variables related to economic structure (non current assets and current assets), the size of the company, the industry, the level of intangible assets and the return on the debt level

The internet has two effects, whether it supports or will it reduce productivity which will have an impact on the unemployment rate. This study aims to examine the effect of the internet on the unemployment rate in Indonesia in 2015-2019. Panel data analysis with the Feasible generalized least square (FGLS) method using STATA software was used to solve the problem of not fulfilling the assumptions of normality and heteroscedasticity in this study. Based on the results of data processing, the proportion of internet users shows a positive and statistically significant sign. The coefficient value of the proportion of internet users is 0.4898; which means that an increase in the proportion of internet users by 1 percent will cause the open unemployment rate to increase by 0.4898 percent, assuming the other variables are fixed. It can be concluded that the higher the proportion of internet users in an area, the higher the area's open unemployment rate. This is because the use of the internet in Indonesia is still not fully used to increase the productivity of the population such as looking for jobs or improving skills through training so that the internet actually causes the unemployment rate to increase.
