Objective To investigate the factors affecting the postoperative swallowing dysfunction in patients who underwent oral cancer surgery.Methods Retrospective review of clinical records of 70 patients (50 males and 20 females) who underwent oral cancer surgeries from July 2007 to April 2015 were enrolled. Multiple regression analysis was performed using the Food Intake LEVEL Scale (FILS) at discharge as the objective variable and age, tumor size, resection of the tongue base, suprahyoid muscle resection, segmental mandibulectomy, neck dissection and radiation therapy as the explanatory variables in 70 patients. In addition, multiple regression analysis was performed between objective variables, which include maximum hyoid bone movement, laryngeal elevation delay time, pharyngeal constriction ratio (PCR), residue in the vallecular and pear-shaped depression (pyriform sinuses), and Penetration-Aspiration Scale score and one of the main factors representing the characteristics of each case as the explanatory variables, and age was treated as an adjustment factor in 23 patients.Results The FILS shows significant negative correlation by age and resection of the tongue base. In videofluoroscopic swallowing study, the maximum movement, PCR and residue in the vallecular are significantly correlated with factors demonstrating the characteristic for each case.Conclusion It was suggested that in elderly patients, the presence of more than half of the tongue base resection, suprahyoid muscle resection and neck dissection cause severe dysphagia after surgery.

The research on factors that affect employee motivation at Bentre Import Export Joint- stock Corporation (Betrimex) has special significance in motivating employees, attracting and retaining talent, thereby helping the Corporation improve work performance. During the research, 300 employees working at Betrimex were surveyed and 250 employees with valid answer sheets were selected, survey data was processed with the SPSS software and the research model through scale reliability analysis, exploratory data analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis was tested. The research results have shown 07 factors affecting employee motivation at Betrimex, measured through 37 observed variables and including the pay, bonuses, benefits, allowances, working conditions, relationships with colleagues and relationships with superiors. Where the pay (b = 0.403) is the factor that has the most powerful influence on employee motivation and working conditions (b = 0.171) have the least influence on employee motivation. The results of multiple regression analysis have also showed that the adjusted R2 is 0.732. Thus, 07 independent variables can explain 73.2% of the variations of the dependent variables. Also, the research results have tremendous implications for developing strategies and plans for human resources development of Betrimex in the future.

The green building (GB) can be defined as the method of increasing the efficiency of the building and site. However, the spillover effect of GB price in Malaysia has not widely been discovered as there are limited case studies on this issue. This paper attempts to determine the significant factors that influence the GB price. The empirical experiment has been conducted to test the Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) model on a real dataset of house prices in the area of Klang Valley, Selangor with GB specifications. The result showed that factors related to tenure have significant contributions to the GB price

Background and Objectives: Pain affects psychological stress and general health in the working population. However, the factors affecting psychological job stress related to chronic pain are unclear. This study aimed to clarify the structural differences among factors affecting psychological job stress in workers with chronic pain and those without pain. Materials and Methods: A stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed the differences in structure between the psychological stress of workers with chronic pain and those with no pain. Psychological job stress by the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire was used as the dependent variable, with psychological state (depression and anxiety), specifically that characteristic of chronic pain (pain catastrophizing); information on the nature of the pain (intensity and duration); and number of years of service as independent variables. Selected independent variables were evaluated for collinearity. Results: In the model with psychological stress as a dependent variable (chronic pain: r2 = 0.57, F = 41.7, p < 0.0001; no-pain: r2 = 0.63, F = 26.3, p < 0.0001), the difference between the experiences of workers with chronic pain and those with no pain was that chronic pain was associated with depression (Beta = 0.43, p < 0.0001) and no pain with anxiety (Beta = 0.34, p < 0.0001). In the model with chronic pain-related depression as a dependent variable (r2 = 0.62, F = 41.7, p < 0.0001), job-life satisfaction (Beta = −0.18, p = 0.0017) and magnification (a dimension of pain catastrophizing; Beta = 0.16, p < 0.0001) were significant. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the psychological characteristics of chronic pain, such as depression and magnification, should be considered when evaluating and intervening in the job stress of workers with chronic pain.

Abstract: This study investigated the influence of financial ratios on company’s performance in Malaysia and Indonesia F&B industry period 2011 – 2018. The samples generated 37 F&B companies and 12 F&B companies listed on Bursa Malaysia and Indonesia Stock Exchange respectively. By using multiple regression analysis for panel data, the study revealed that CR and DER had no influence on ROA, while TAT and NPM had positive effect on ROA. Also, CR and DER had no influence on ROE in Malaysia F&B industry, but then, these variables had positive effect on ROE in Indonesia F&B industry. While TAT and NPM had positive effect on ROE. This paper is expected to provide beneficial information to related parties to take better consideration on the actual variables having significant effect on company’s ROA and ROE. This paper is also academically expected to be a beneficial reference for further research development.Keywords: F&B Industry, financial ratios, company’s performance, Indonesia, Malaysia. Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Kinerja Industri Makanan dan Minuman di Malaysia dan Indonesia Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh rasio keuangan terhadap kinerja perusahaan di industri makanan dan minuman di Malaysia dan Indonesia periode 2011 - 2018.

This research aims to analyze the phenomena of the factors affecting the profitability management of state-owned enterprises. The purposive sampling method was used in data collection by selecting seven state-owned enterprises during the last eleven years and using multiple regression analysis techniques. The findings of this study are that subsidy has a negative and significant effect on profitability management, which means that the more it is subsidized, the lower the profitability management indicator will be, mainly because of the decreasing motivation and challenges with profitability orientation. The firm size variable has a negative and significant effect, which means that the larger the company scale, the lower the profitability of management because the task for services requires economic orientation or not financial-based.
