The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious problem for the economies of many countries, including Indonesia. Low specimen testing capacity, causing uncontrolled transmission. The Indonesian economy is faced with a recession. The economic vulnerability to the COVID-19 pandemic needs attention as a basis for making the right policies. This study aims to build an economic vulnerability index to COVID-19 and map the vulnerability of the regional economy to form priority groups for economic policies. This index consists of two dimensions: exposure and shock. It was found that the score for Indonesia’s economic vulnerability index to COVID-19 reached 56,58. Provinces in Java Island tend to have high economic vulnerability, especially DKI Jakarta. Furthermore, the economic vulnerability index has a significant negative relationship with the GRDP growth in the 2nd quarter of 2020. Through quadrant analysis, four priority groups were obtained. Priority I consist of DKI Jakarta, Banten, West Java, Bali and DI Yogyakarta which need more attention because of high possibility of shocks and structurally more exposed to the economic impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic shocks.

The effects of extreme climate phenomena (mainly heat-related) on agricultural crops, infrastructure and human health have become increasingly severe, varying between regions in response to the differences in the socio-economic and environmental features. In Romania, heat-related phenomena (i.e. drought) are affecting extended areas in the southern and south-eastern parts where the study area (Dobrogea) lies. The paper aims to develop a multi-criteria vulnerability assessment. Over 20 indicators were selected and processed in order to assess the vulnerability to heat-related phenomena using the statistical data available at local administrative units (LAU). The indicators were grouped into the three key components of vulnerability (potential exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity) and on two dimensions (socio-economic and environmental), resulting two indexes: Socio-Economic Vulnerability (SEV) and Environmental Vulnerability (EV). Finally, an integrated Heat Vulnerability index (HV) (using Hull score, average 50 and standard deviation 14) was computed.

Banks play an important role in a country's economy. However, banks face various challenges in meeting their objectives. One of the challenges faced by some banks is a high employee turnover rate. In regards to turnover, there is a new concept of proximal withdrawal states proposed by Hom, Mitchell, Lee, and Griffeth (2012) as the closest and more accurate predictor of turnover than intention to leave (Li, Lee, Mitchell, Hom, & Griffeth, 2016).Proximal withdrawal states is the condition of one's motivation towards the company where he/she works, which consists of two dimensions, namely (a) preference to leave or stay in the company (intention to leave) and (b) control of those desires (perceived control over preference). The combination of the two dimensions forms four types of proximal withdrawal states, namely enthusiastic leavers, reluctant stayers, reluctant leavers, and enthusiastic stayers. Job satisfaction, which has a significant negative relationship with intention to quit (Masum et al., 2016), proved to be more accurate in predicting turnover when analyzed with proximal withdrawal states (Li et al., 2016).This study aims to determine the effect of job satisfaction on proximal withdrawal states in banking company employees. This study uses descriptive non-experimental research method, with purposive sampling technique. 273 banking company employees who participated in this study. The results of the analysis using multinominal logistic regression testing showed the effect of job satisfaction on proximal withdrawal states for banking employees. The higher the level of job satisfaction of banking employees, the greater the tendency for employees to become enthusiastic stayers or reluctant stayers, both of whom have a desire to remain in the company. Bank memiliki peran penting bagi perekonomian negara. Namun bank menghadapi berbagai tantangan dalam memenuhi tujuannya. Salah satu tantangan yang dihadapi beberapa bank adalah tingkat turnover karyawan yang tinggi. Terkait dengan turnover, terdapat konsep baru mengenai proximal withdrawal states yang diusulkan oleh Hom, Mitchell, Lee, dan Griffeth (2012) sebagai faktor (prediktor) yang paling dekat dan lebih akurat untuk memprediksi turnover dibandingkan intention to leave (Li, Lee, Mitchell, Hom, & Griffeth, 2016). Proximal withdrawal states adalah kondisi motivasi seseorang terhadap perusahaan di mana ia bekerja, yang terdiri dari dua dimensi yaitu (a) preferensi untuk keluar atau menetap di perusahaan (intention to leave) dan (b) kendali atas keinginan tersebut (perceived control over preference). Perpaduan kedua dimensi tersebut membentuk empat jenis proximal withdrawal states, yaitu enthusiastic leavers, reluctant stayers, reluctant leavers, dan enthusiastic stayers. Kepuasan kerja, yang memiliki hubungan signifikan negatif dengan intention to quit (Masum et al., 2016), terbukti semakin akurat dalam memprediksi turnover ketika dianalisis dengan proximal withdrawal states (Li et al., 2016). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh kepuasan kerja terhadap proximal withdrawal states pada karyawan perusahaan perbankan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian non eksperimental deskriptif, dengan teknik purposive sampling. Terdapat 273 karyawan perusahaan perbankan yang menjadi partisipan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil analisis dengan pengujian regresi logistik multinominal menunjukkan adanya pengaruh kepuasan kerja terhadap proximal withdrawal states pada karyawan perbankan. Semakin tinggi tingkat kepuasan kerja karyawan perbankan, maka semakin besar peluang karyawan untuk menjadi enthusiastic stayers ataupun reluctant stayers, di mana keduanya memiliki keinginan untuk menetap di perusahaan.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of poverty, globalization, and environmental degradation on economic growth in the selected SAARC countries. This study is employed panel Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) technique for empirical analysis using selected SAARC regions including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka over the period of 1980 to 2018. Globalization impacts economic growth positively and significantly.  In addition to this the significant negative relationship is found between population and economic growth. The results show that poverty is positively related with environmental degradation. Furthermore, the results indicate that globalization is positively and significantly associated with environmental degradation in the SAARC region. Finally, the results show that urbanization is positive and significantly associated with environmental degradation, which could be the serious concerns for the policy makers to control.

The 2 types of exchange relationship perceptions—social exchange relationship perceptions (SERPs) and economic exchange relationship perceptions (EERPs)—constitute the primary concept for understanding individual behavior in the workplace. Using a sample of 581 employees from Mainland China, I explored the effects of SERPs and EERPs on employee extrarole behavior (ERB), as well as the moderating effect of organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) on the relationships between SERPs and ERB, and between EERPs and ERB. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between SERPs and ERB, a significant negative relationship between EERPs and ERB, and a significant moderating effect for OBSE. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

It is widely believed that the financial system is dependent on the banking industry, and its strength and development are vital for economic prosperity. This paper tried to show the financial performance of Iranian banks listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) during 2013–2019, as the research population. The statistical population included 18 banks listed on the TSE from 2013 to 2019, which were sampled using a screening method. The results indicated a significant relationship between explanatory variables of capital ratio and the financial performance of banks in all models. However, a significant negative relationship was found between the inflation rate and the financial performance of banks in all models. Furthermore, it seems that banks with high asset strength are more profitable than the others. Regulators should guarantee that banks remain highly capitalized for a viable banking sector in Iran.

Abstract Background To assess the effectiveness of mass treatment of Schistosoma mansoni infection in socially vulnerable endemic areas in northeastern Brazil. Method An ecological study was conducted, in which 118 localities in 30 municipalities in the state of Pernambuco were screened before 2011 and in 2014 (after mass treatment). Information on the endemic baseline index, mass treatment coverage, socio-environmental conditions and social vulnerability index were used in the multiple correspondence analysis. One hundred fourteen thousand nine hundred eighty-seven people in 118 locations were examined. Results The first two dimensions of the multiple correspondence analysis represented 55.3% of the variability between locations. The human capital component of the social vulnerability index showed an association with the baseline endemicity index. There was a significant reduction in positivity for schistosomes. For two rounds, for every extra 1% of initial endemicity index, the fixed effect of 13.62% increased by 0.0003%, achieving at most 15.94%. Conclusions The mass treatment intervention helped to reduce transmission of schistosomiasis in areas of high endemicity. Thus, it can be recommended that application of mass treatment should be accompanied by other control actions, such as basic sanitation, monitoring of intermediate vectors and case surveillance.

AbstractCombining reading with auditory input has been shown to be an effective way of supporting reading fluency and reading comprehension in a second language. Previous research has also shown that reading comprehension can be further supported by pictorial information. However, the studies conducted so far have mainly included adults or adolescents and have been based on post-reading tests that, although informative, do not contribute to our understanding of how learners’ processing of the several sources of input in multimodal texts changes with the presence of auditory input and the effect that potential differences could have on comprehension. The present study used eye-tracking to examine how young learners process the pictorial and textual information in a graded reader under reading only and reading-while-listening conditions. Results showed that readers spent more time processing the text in the reading only condition, while more time was spent processing the images in the reading-while-listening mode. Nevertheless, comprehension scores were similar for the readers in the two conditions. Additionally, our results suggested a significant (negative) relationship between the amount of time learners spent processing the text and comprehension scores in both modes.

The article examines the link between workplace disability (WD) and workplace job satisfaction (JS) using data from WERS2011. Controlling for a rich set of workplace characteristics including organisational culture, the study finds a significant negative relationship between JS and the share of disabled respondents within workplaces. Notably, Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR)-based analysis distinguishing between disabled and non-disabled respondents reveals that the negative relationship found is specific to non-disabled respondents. Moreover, disability equality policies are found to be significantly positively related with disabled respondents’ JS while they are negatively related with the JS of their non-disabled counterparts. The article ponders if there is a co-worker aspect to the WD–JS link and whether HR policies may need to take heed of co-worker dynamics in this respect.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to understand the implications that smartphones have for prospective memory (PM) performance. We examined normal adults’ performance on an event-based PM task embedded in an online survey, and its relationship with the PM strategies used prior to the PM cue. Method Participants included 349 individuals aged >18— (M = 38.31; SD = 11.15); 62% male; non-Hispanic (83.38%); with education = HS diploma or less (8.31%), some college (12.61%), and college degree (79.08%)—recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk. Participants completed the survey on their smartphones. The PM task required participants to respond “N/A” to a question presented later in the survey. Follow-up questions were asked about the use of external reminders, internal monitoring, recollections, and level of importance participants attributed to the PM task. Results One third of participants were successful on the PM task. Of those who had PM success, 11.50% used external reminders, 53.10% used internal monitoring strategies, 62.83% had recollections, and 95.56% considered the task at least somewhat important to remember. Logistic regression revealed that non-Hispanic ethnicity, ≤ high school education, and high perceived importance predicted PM success (Table 1). Interestingly, 40% of individuals with PM failure used external reminders, showing a significant negative relationship with PM success. Conclusions We found that external reminders, internal monitoring, and recollections may make PM success less likely during smartphone use—strategies which were associated with PM success in previous research. Only perceived importance predicted PM success, akin to previous findings. Implications reveal that smartphones may change the demands of PM tasks.

Existing literature has explored the role of mindfulness and mind-wandering on creative processes. However, it has overlooked the diversity in the creative domains as well as the experience of the artist while accounting for their relationship. In the present study, mindfulness and mind wandering- deliberate and spontaneous were explored among performing artists, i.e. musicians, theatre artists, and dancers. The study also looked at the artists’ experience in their field. After an initial screening using a creativity tool, 66 performing artists were recruited, following which two self-report indices that assessed mind wandering and mindfulness were administered. The data collected was subjected to quantitative data analysis in SPSS. A Oneway ANOVA showed significant effect of the creative domain on mindfulness for the three groups, with a significant difference between musicians and dancers. Among the musicians, a significant negative relationship between mind wandering spontaneous and years of experience was seen. Among the dancers, there was a significant positive association between mind wandering spontaneous, mind wandering deliberate and years of experience. The current study highlighted the need to approach the study of creativity using a contextual perspective. Keywords: Creativity, Dance, Music, Theatre.
