The purpose of this study is to examine and better understand the effects of foreign direct investments on employment in Montenegro over the period from 2005-2017. Time series data on a quarterly basis, obtained from Central Bank of Montenegro, Statistical Office of Montenegro - MONSTAT and Employment Office of Montenegro were used in this research. To perform time series stationary testing, Dickey-Fuller test (ADF) and Perron test were used, i.e. the unit root tests, while the examination of the effects of foreign direct investments on employment was performed using the regression analysis with the least square method. The results of the research, obtained by the evaluation of the simple linear econometric model show that if foreign direct investments increase by 1%, employment in Montenegro can be expected to increase by an average of 0.0058%. However, the regression analysis results clearly show that over the total observed period, the influence of foreign direct investments on employment does not have statistical significance. The obtained results are not surprising, considering the fact that the observed period is characterized by a modest share of the greenfield investment within the total structure of foreign direct investments in the Montenegrin economy.

This study aimed to analyze the factors that affect the volume of Indonesian exports of white shrimp (Penaeus indicus) to Hongkong and to formulate policies that can increase the volume of exports. Ordinary Least Square method (OLS) is used to analyze the factors that affect the volume of Indonesian white shrimp exports to Hongkong by time series data (time series) period of the last 24 years (1990 until 2013). All independent variables that have significant influence on the volume of Indonesian exports of white shrimp, which are: Hongkong population, Hongkong GDP per capita constant 2005, the nominal selling price of white shrimp Indonesia to Hongkong, the nominal selling price of white shrimp competitor to Hongkong, the nominal exchange rate of the Indonesian to Hongkong and Indonesian economic crisis in 1998 (dummy). Key words: Hongkong, Ordinary Least Square (OLS), the export volume, the white shrimp (Penaeus indicus)

Box-Jenkins method of time series in modeling the signal of quartz flex accelerometer is studied in the paper. Firstly, a JSD-I/A quartz flex accelerometer is placed on a level test bench, and the output signal of the JSD-I/A quartz flex accelerometer is acquired. Secondly, the acquired signal of the JSD-I/A quartz flex accelerometer is preprocessed by Db3 wavelet denoising, trend items exacting, and standardized processing. Thirdly, The statistical characteristics of autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) of the processed time series data are analyzed, and the results show that ACF presents tailing characteristic and PACF presents censoring characteristic after 12th order. So AR(12) model is suitable for modeling the processed data of the JSD-I/A quartz flex accelerometer. Fourthly, the AR(12) model’s parameters are estimated by four methods, named least square method (LSM), Yule-Walker method, LUD method and Burg method, respectively. The fitting effects by residuals sum of squares (RSS) of the above estimation methods are compared and the results show that LSM outperforms the other three estimation methods.

Koleangan. Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis, Magister Ilmu EkonomiUniversitas Sam Ratulangi, Manado ABSTRAKPada suatu periode perekonomian mengalami pertumbuhan negatif berarti kegiatan ekonomi pada periode tersebut mengalami penurunan. Kota Bitung periode tahun 2004-2014 mengalami pertumbuhan ekonomi yang fluktuasi. Adanya fluktuasi ini dapat dipengaruhi oleh investasi swasta, belanja langsung, dan penduduk Pertumbuhan ekonomi merupakan salah satu tolok ukur keberhasilan pembangunan ekonomi di suatu daerah. Pertumbuhan ekonomi mencerminkan kegiatan ekonomi. Pertumbuhan ekonomi dapat bernilai positif dan dapat pula bernilai negatif. Jika pada suatu periode perekonomian mengalami pertumbuhan positif berarti kegiatan ekonomi pada periode tersebut mengalami peningkatan. Sedangkan jikaTahun 2004-2014 yang bersumber dari Badan Pusat Statistik Provinsi Sulut dan Kota Bitung. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah model ekonometrik regresi berganda double-log (log-log) dengan metode Ordinary Least Square (OLS).

<p>Poverty is being a problem in all developing countries including Indonesia. Among goverment programs, poverty has become the center offattention in policy at both of the regional and national levels. Looking at thephenomenon of poverty, Islam present with solution to reduce poverty through Zakat. This study aims to analyze the effect of ZIS and Zakat Fitrah against poverty in Indonesia in 1998 until 2010, data used in this study is secondary data and uses time series data, for the dependent variabel is poverty and for independent variables are ZIS and Zakat Fitrah. The analysis tools used in this study is to use multiple regression analysis model and the assumptions of classical test using the software Eviews-4. In this study also concluded that the ZIS variables significantly affect to the reduction of poverty in Indonesia although the effect is very small. In the variable Zakat Fitrah not significantly affect poverty reduction in Indonesia because of the nature of Zakat Fitrah is for consumption and not for long-term needs. The results of this study can be used for the management of zakat to be able to develop the management and to get a better system for distribution of zakat so that the main purpose of zakat can be achieved to reduce poverty.<br />Keywords : Poverty, Zakat Fitrah, ZIS.</p>

Innovations and applicability of time series data mining techniques have significantly increased the researchers' interest in the problem of time series classification. Several algorithms have been proposed for this purpose categorized under shapelet, interval, motif, and whole series-based techniques. Among this, the bag-of-words technique, an extensive application of the text mining approach, performs well due to its simplicity and effectiveness. To extend the efficiency of the bag-of-words technique, this paper proposes a discriminate supervised weighted scheme to identify the characteristic and representative pattern of a class for efficient classification. This paper uses a modified weighted matrix that discriminates the representative and non-representative pattern which enables the interpretability in classification. Experimentation has been carried out to compare the performance of the proposed technique with state-of-the-art techniques in terms of accuracy and statistical significance.

Background: The intent of the 5-yearly Resuscitation Guidelines is to improve outcomes. Previous studies have yielded conflicting reports of a beneficial impact of the 2005 guidelines on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival. Using a national database, we examined survival before and after the introduction of both the 2005 and 2010 guidelines. Methods: We used the 2000 through 2012 National Inpatient Sample database to select patients ≥18 years admitted to hospitals in the United States with non-traumatic OHCA (ICD-9 CM codes 427.5 & 427.41). A quasi-experimental (interrupted time series) design was used to compare monthly survival trends. Outcomes for OHCA were compared pre- and post- 2005 and 2010 resuscitation guidelines release as follows: 01/2000-09/2005 vs. 10/2005-9/2010 and 10/2005-9/2010 vs. 10/2010-12/2012. Segmented regression analyses of interrupted time series data were performed to examine changes in survival to hospital discharge. Results: For the pre- and post- guidelines periods, 81600, 69139 and 36556 patients respectively survived to hospital admission following OHCA. Subsequent to the release of the 2005 guidelines, there was a statistically significant worsening in survival trends (β= -0.089, 95% CI -0.163 – -0.016, p =0.018) until the release of the 2010 guidelines when a sharp increase in survival was noted which persisted for the period of study (β= 0.054, 95% CI -0.143 – 0.251, p =0.588) but did not achieve statistical significance (Figure). Conclusion: National clinical guidelines developed to impact outcomes must include mechanisms to assess whether benefit actually occurs. The worsening in OHCA survival following the 2005 guidelines is thought provoking but the improvement following the release of the 2010 guidelines is reassuring and worthy of perpetuation.
