Krisis yang terjadi pada tahun 2008 sangat mempengaruhi kinerja perusahaan-perusahaan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia, hal ini terlihat dengan menurunnya harga saham. Menurunnya harga saham tersebut tentunya akan berimplikasi pada return yang didapatkan oleh investor. Penelitian mengkaji dan menganalisis faktor-faktor fundamental terhadap return saham. Jenis dan sifat penelitian ini adalah ex post facto dan survey explanatory, adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode yang bersifat deskriptif, komparatif, asosiatif, dan juga verifikatif. Variabel yang dianalisis terdiri dari; Variabel terikat (Y), dalam hal ini adalah return saham, sedangkan variabel bebas yang terdiri dari return on equity (ROE), earning per share (EPS), price earning ratio (PER), price book value (PBV), dan tingkat suku bunga. Populasi dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari perusahaan kelompok Industri Barang Konsumsi dan Keuangan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia periode 2002 s.d 2009 yang terdiri dari 31 perusahaan untuk kelompok industri barang konsumsi, dan 44 perusahaan pada kelompok keuangan. Data yang dianalisis merupakan gabungan antara data time series dan cross sectional, atau biasa disebut data pooling atau pooled times series, dengan 429 data sampel penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, pertama; terdapat perbedaan return saham antara kelompok Industri Barang Konsumsi dan Keuangan, rata-rata total return saham yang dihasilkan oleh kelompok Keuangan relatif lebih besar jika dibandingkan dengan rata-rata return saham dari kelompok Industri Barang Konsumsi, hal tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa masing-masing kelompok industri memiliki return dan pertumbuhan yang berbeda-beda. Kedua; hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa nilai r sebesar 0,387 dan R² sebesar 0,1498, hal ini berarti pengaruh faktor fundamental terhadap return saham sebesar 14,98%, dan sisanya sebesar 85,02% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain yang tidak dijelaskan dalam penelitian ini seperti return on asset, dividend dan dividend payout ratio, size, serta beta fundamental. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan secara simultan atau secara bersama-sama bahwa analisis faktor fundamental dapat digunakan untuk memprediksikan return saham pada perusahaan kelompok Industri Barang Konsumsi dan Keuangan. Sedangkan secara parsial hanya EPS berkontribusi paling kuat yakni 9,12%.

Hablar de inclusión a nivel de centro inevitablemente lleva consigo hablar de una relación activa y positiva entre familia y escuela. En esta línea, se ha constatado la importancia de la participación de las familias en los centros escolares y su consecuente mejora en el rendimiento académico del alumnado; considerándose un factor clave en la prevención del abandono escolar. Este artículo se centra en determinar la perspectiva de las familias respecto al liderazgo inclusivo desarrollado por los equipos directivos, tales como los procesos de apertura hacia la comunidad y acciones que promuevan la participación, cooperación y reflexión hacia la diversidad en pro de un aprendizaje para todos. Se trata de una investigación cuantitativa de carácter descriptivo; la muestra estuvo compuesta por familiares de alumnos (N = 150). Utilizamos como herramienta el cuestionario: “Liderando la Educación Inclusiva” (LEI-Q). Los resultados muestran que las familias consideran que sus equipos directivos han implantado “sustancialmente” la mayor parte de las acciones que contribuyen a que sus centros sean inclusivos, promoviendo estrategias que reduzcan el abandono escolar. De esta manera se hace notable la necesidad de involucrar a las familias, para garantizar el éxito educativo y estimular a finalizar los estudios obligatorios y a continuar con una formación posterior. Talking about inclusion at a school level inevitably “involves an active and positive relationship between families and schools” (Simón, Giné y Echeita, 2016, p. 26). Along these lines, the importance of family participation in schools has been reported to lead to improvements in students’ academic performance, which, in turn, stands out as a key factor in the prevention of early school leaving. This article aims to determine the views of families on inclusive leadership measures developed by management teams, such as (i) opening the center to the community and the environment; and (ii) actions to encourage participation, address diversity, and prevent and manage conflict in centers so that learning can be for everybody. This is a descriptive quantitative investigation. In this sense, our sample is composed of students’ relatives (N = 150), who were asked to complete the questionnaire “Leading Inclusive Education” (LEI-Q) (León et al., 2016). This research is an ex post-facto cross-sectional investigation of a descriptive nature. The results obtained indicate that families perceive the efforts made by school management teams to foster inclusive schools, which, in turn, promotes strategies that reduce school dropout. In this way, it is essential to involve families in order to guarantee educational success and stimulate students’ completion of compulsory education and to continue their further training.

Aim To assess the sanitation and hygienic practices of women and its effects on the nutritional status of the mother and preschool children of the Lodha tribal community in two districts of West Bengal. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted during November, 2014 - December, 2018 of 941 Lodha mothers and 1043 of their preschool children in Paschim Medinipur and Jhargram districts. All information was collected by using KAP questionnaire following interview and group discussion. Mother nutritional status was assessed based on body mass index (BMI) and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC). A child was classified as underweight, stunting and wasting as weight-for-age, height-for-age and weight-of -height Z-score below -2 standard deviation of WHO standard. Results This study found 35% of the households used safe drinking water. Almost 97.2% of the mother had the low hand wash score and about 67.1% of them had an average WaSH score. Overall, 41.6% and 1.6% mothers were suffered from undernutrition (BMI <18.5 kg/m2) and overweight/obesity (BMI≥25kg/m2). Whereas, 48.9% women were undernourished based on MUAC<22.0cm. Moreover, the overall prevalence of wasting, stunting and underweight of preschool children was 31.9%, 62.1% and 61.3%, respectively. The WaSH score of family was significantly associated with child stunted and underweight. Conclusion There is a good association between poor household WaSH practices with child undernutrition and morbidity. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop the comprehensive knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) guidelines in their language to educate them about appropriate water storage, retrieval methods, sanitation and hand washing practices.

This present study evaluated nursing education based on problem-solving and learning based on problems originating from alumni's perceptions. This is an ex-post-facto cross-sectional study. Results were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative approaches triangulation and through dialectical hermeneutics. In the quantitative approach 180 alumni answered a questionnaire. The qualitative approach involved 14 interviews that searched for meanings related to the notion of ideal care, in order to build indicators that would reveal this evaluation logic. These indicators guided the choice of triangulation questions. Results demonstrated that 85.1% of alumni are working in the nursing market, 92.1% have taken a post-graduate course and 99.1% believe they have the education required to deliver ethical, humanized and founded care. Data analysis demonstrates a compromised education as autonomy and knowledge are being built, and articulated to the Single Health System and the world nursing principles.

Background: Child malnutrition is one of the most vital global health problems concerning in most of the poor communities leading to high morbidity and mortality. Various studies have highlighted the relation-ship between socioeconomic status and nutrition levels of primary school children. The present study focuses on socioeconomic inequality resulting in risk of malnutrition. Objectives of the Study were to find the Impact of socio-economic factors on nutritional status in primary school children. Methods: A cross sectional survey of 281 children, aged 6-10 years were selected from remote primary school in Purulia were used in the study. the primary schools were randomly selected. The studied variables included; Age, sex of the pupils, parents’ socio-economic status and family size of selected House Holds. Interview of pupils and parents was carried out using prepared Nordic questionnaire template. Weight and height of the children were measured. and Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated by standard method. Data was analyzed using Microsoft excel, SPSS version 8.0 .The chi-square significance of association was deter-mined at Level of significance less than 0.05. Results: The proportion of girls and boys are 55.8% and 44.2% respectively. The nutritional status of children from lower socio economic class was poor as com-pared to their counter parts came from upper socio economic class. Children with BMI <5th percentile were 30.9% in low class while in high class it was only 12.1%. Prevalence of malnutrition was 41.9% among children of family size>4 as compare to 16.4% in those of House Holds had family size<5. During comparison of the studied children with children of same age group of overall West Bengal from NNMB survey, 2002, the first group had lower BMI than the second group. Conclusion: Poverty, low literacy rate, large families, food insecurity, food safety, appears to be the important factors responsible for poor health status of children from low socioeconomic class. Efforts should be given for exploring knowledge about nutritional needs during childhood, and creating nutritional and health awareness among young rural children to ensure a better quality of life for the next generation.International Journal of Occupational Safety and Health, Vol 4 No 2 (2014) 15 – 18

The purpose of this research is, on the one hand, to analyze the self-perception of future teachers of childhood education and primary education, and those studying for a master’s degree in secondary education teacher training on their Teacher Digital Competence (TDC), as well as the potential influence of gender, country and university institution of origin in their representations. On the other hand, it seeks to analyze the perception of future teachers on the TDC of their university trainers (formative perception). In accordance with these aims, a quantitative methodology of a non-experimental nature and of a prospective cross-sectional ex post facto approach has been used. A total of 428 students from two Spanish universities and from a French university agreed to participate in the research. The results report a positive and differential self-perception by gender of the TDC acquired and unfavorable perceptions of the digital competences of their teachers. These results confirm the need to improve the technological-manipulative and didactic training of university teachers, and to adapt the teaching competences to the demands of the Information and Communication Society (ICS) and to the guidelines of the Common Digital Competence Framework.

AbstractSomatotype is the parameter used to determine the body composition, which is influenced by several factors and nutrition is the crucial one. This study aimed to determine somatotype and nutritional status as well as investigate the somatotype variations in relation to the age and nutritional status among the adult males of Sabar community living in Purulia district of West Bengal, India. The present cross-sectional study included 334 Sabar males aged between 18 to 60 years. Anthropometric measurements including height, weight, 2 breadths, 2 circumferences and 4 skinfolds were taken following standard protocol. Somatotype was determined following the Heath-Carter method and Body Mass Index (BMI) was used to access the level of nutrition. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Pearson correlation, Spearman correlation and Chi-square test were performed to find out variation, correlation and association of the somatype components with age and nutritional categories. Prior ethical clearance had been obtained. As a result, the trend of undernutrition was gradually increasing with age and found highest among aged people (50–60 years) with an overall prevalence of 49.7%. Eleven different somatotype subgroups were identified. The mean somatotype of the participants was 2.3–3.6-3.9 which indicates mesomorph-ectomorph body type. Kruskal-Wallis H test revealed significant differences among somatotype components in different nutritional categories. Undernutrition was found highest among the mesomorphic ectomorph (62.7%) type. Chi-square test stated significant association between somatotype categories and nutritional statuses (Chi-square = 283.160, p < 0.01). This is the first reporting on the somatotype study among the Sabar community, where the dominant body type was found mesomorph-ectomorph. A highly significant correlation was found between somatotype and BMI. At the same time, this study expressed the need for immediate nutritional intervention.

This paper presents the researchers’ interpretive analysis of data from the main study that was aimed at proposing the method that will plausibly be used to analyse the Grade 12 results and to compare performances of learners between provinces of South Africa. This cross-sectional, quantitative, and ex-post-facto designed study used secondary and clustered data, as supplied by Department of Basic Education through Umalusi council, to compare the likelihood of passing Grade 12 between male and female learners in the Gauteng Province, even after adjusting for school quintile. Thus, this work attempted to model the relation between school resources inputs and school outcomes called educational achievements or academic performances. The dataset contained a total of 98894 (45.44% male and 54.56% female) learners who set for Grade 12 examinations in 2008 academic. The crude estimates indicated that female learners than male learners were significantly 1.035 more likely to pass Grade 12 (OR = 1.035, p = 0.016, 95% CI: 1.006 - 1.065). Also, the school quintile adjusted model indicated that female learners than their male counterparts were significantly 1.040 more likely to pass Grade 12 (OR = 1.040, p = 0.010, 95% CI: 1.009 - 1.072). The significant effect of school quintile favoured female learners (p < 0.001). These results, from disaggregated analysis, indicated that there was sufficient evidence that female than male learners had better chances of passing Grade 12 in Gauteng Province. Therefore, authorities may consider the issue of learner-gender when allocating resources to different school In Gauteng Province.

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las relaciones existentes entre las motivaciones generadas por el docente de educación física con el género y nivel de práctica de actividad física de los adolescentes. Para ello se analizaron previamente las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Motivación Deportiva, para posteriormente en nuestra muestra establecer la baremación de la escala y conocer si existen diferencias por género y nivel de práctica de actividad física. Se utilizó la versión adaptada al español de la Escala de Motivación Deportiva. Se trata de un estudio no experimental, ex post factor, de carácter descriptivo y de corte transversal. Participaron un total de 315 adolescentes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria de la Comunidad de Madrid, con una edad media de 14.2 ±1.6 años (52.2% hombres). Los resultados encontrados sugieren seguir el modelo de 7 factores, ya que presentaron un buen ajuste de los datos en cuanto a fiabilidad y validez. El mayor nivel de motivación encontrado correspondió con indicadores de motivación intrínseca. Las correlaciones muestran que las variables más relacionadas son las de motivación intrínseca. Los hombres tuvieron mayor motivación que las mujeres, excepto en motivación externa introyectada y No motivación. Los adolescentes más activos se sintieron más motivados que los sedentarios. Quedó evidenciado que el instrumento analizado es válido y fiable, recomendándose respetar la estructura de 7 factores, pudiéndose observar la correlación positiva entre niveles elevados de motivación con los varones y adolescentes activos.Abstract: The objective of this study was to analyze the relation between the motivations generated by the physical education teachers, gender, and level of physical practice in adolescents. For this reason, the psychometric characteristics of the Sports Motivation Scale were analyzed; successively, the scale was applied to our sample to assess differences by gender and levels of physical practice. A Spanish version of the Sports Motivation Scale was employed. This study is non-experimental, ex post facto, descriptive, and cross-sectional. A total of 315 adolescents (average age of 14.2 years; 52.2% men) from Compulsory Secondary Education in the Community of Madrid participated. Our results suggest to adopt the 7-factor model, since it presents a good data adjustment in terms of reliability and validity. Intrinsic motivation was the dimension showing the highest scores. The correlational analysis revealed intrinsic motivation variables as the most related. Men are more motivated than women, except in introjected external motivation and amotivation. The most active adolescents felt more motivated than the sedentary ones. Findings suggest that the analyzed instrument is valid and reliable when using the 7-factor structure, as a positive correlation between high levels of motivation and active males and adolescents could be observed.
