<p>Climate change induced drought periods are likely to cause decline in groundwater level,<br>which can degrade riparian ecosystems (such as riparian forest). With a reasonable water<br>supply, water scarcity can be stopped and these valuable ecosystems can be preserved.</p><p>The aim of the research was to evaluate the impact of water supply interventions regarding<br>habitat reconstruction of Doroszló meadows near Kőszeg (west Hungary). Groundwater<br>monitoring wells have been installed at 4 representative sites of the area. Groundwater wells<br>were 3–5 m deep and screened at their bottoms (2–4 m). The water level of the wells was<br>recorded manually, on a weekly basis, with an accuracy of 1 mm. In the neighborhood of the<br>wells surface close soil moisture values were also measured. Data from April 2019 to<br>October 2020 were collected. Local meteorological data measured in Kőszeg were also<br>used for analysis.</p><p>Evaluating the data from each well in the pre-intervention period (the analysis of the<br>relationship of the wells with the control well), we came to the conclusion that the Well-1 and<br>Well-2 behave similarly. The impacts of the water supply on the groundwater level were<br>analysed using a “double mass curve” and a “treatment-control space-time deviations”<br>approach. Result showed that the intervention had a positive effect only on the Well-3 from<br>the examined wells. The data evaluation denoted that unfortunately the control well was also<br>affected by water supply interventions.</p><p>This research has been supported by the Ministry of Agriculture in Hungary.</p>

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic liver disease (CLD) are pathological conditions associated with each other and reaching epidemic proportions. There is a strong pathogenetic relationship of carbohydrate metabolism disorders and a number of CLD. Common mechanisms that provoke metabolic and autoimmune disorders in the development of various CLD, leading to steatosis, insulin resistance (IR), impaired glucose tolerance and the development of DM are described. Effective glycemic control can have a beneficial effect on the treatment of these patients, and, conversely, there is evidence of a positive effect of CLD therapy on carbohydrate metabolism. This review discusses the correction of carbohydrate metabolism in patients with CLD, the main groups of modern hypoglycemic drugs, mechanisms of their action, the impact on the physiology of the liver, the possibility of using each of these pharmacological groups in patients with impaired liver function. The modern approaches and possibilities of drug effects on the process of fibrogenesis in CLD, the effect of these drugs on carbohydrate metabolism are listed.

Our study aims to analyze the impact of auditor’s work passion on their performances, with meaningfulness of work and person organization fit (PO-fit) as moderating variables.  Auditor, as a profession associated with assurance of compliance with their clients, highly requires good work passion to increase their spirit, avoid them from work saturation and improve their work quality. Therefore, our study expected that work passion positively affect work performance. Furthermore, meaningfulnes work and PO-fit were also expected to have moderating effect on the relationship of work passion on work performance. The results of regression  and moderated regression analysis (MRA) on 87 samples collected from accoutants working in public accountant firm in Java, Indonesia, suggest that work passion has a positive effect on work performance. The result also shows that meaningfulnes was supported as a moderator on the relationship between work passion and work performance. However, our prediction that PO-fit could be a moderator in the effect of work passion on job performance of auditor was not supported.

ABSTRAKPengungkapan ICSR menjadi isu penting yang dapat mempengaruhi reputasi dan profitabilitas bank syariah. Banyak penelitian empiris terkait pengaruh ICSR terhadap profitabilitas menunjukan hasil yang beragam. Misspesifikasi model penelitian dan strategi ICSR dapat menjadi sebab hasil tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh pengungkapan ICSR terhadap kinerja keuangan bank syariah dengan mempertimbankan reputasi sebagai variabel mediasi dan visibilitas sebagai variabel yang memoderasi pengaruh pengungkapan ICSR terhadap reputasi. Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode PLS SEM digunakan untuk menguji hipotesis. 10 bank syariah di Indonesia pada periode 2014-2019 dijadikan sebagai sampel. Hasil estimasi menunjukan bahwa pengungkapan ICSR berpengaruh positif baik terhadap reputasi maupun profitabilitas. Visibilitas bank syariah juga terbukti memoderasi pengaruh pengungkapan ICSR terhadap reputasi bank. Meskipun demikian, Reputasi tidak terbukti memediasi pengaruh ICSR terhadap profitabilitas bank syariah. Implikasi dari hasil penelitian ini adala pentingnya pengungkapan ICSR bagi bank syariah karena dapat mempengaruhi reputasi dan profitabilitas perusahaan. Meskipun reputasi sendiri tidak terbukti memberikan pengaruh terhadap profitabilitas, reputasi dapat menjadi sumber daya strategis bagi bank. Selain itu, bagi bank syariah dengan visibilitas tinggi, pengungkapan ICSR menjadi sangat penting karena dampaknya yang lebih besar yang terbukti dapat memperkuat hubungan pengungkapan ICSR terhadap reputasi.Kata Kunci: Pengungkapan Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility, Variabel Mediasi, Variabel Moderasi, Profitabilitas, Bank Syariah. ABSTRACTICSR disclosure becomes an important issue that could effect reputation and profitability of Islamic Bank. a lot of empirical research on the effect of ICSR disclosure to profitability indicates an inconsistent result. Misspecification of the research model and the ICSR strategy could be the cause of it. The study aims to examine the impact of ICSR disclosure to profitability by considering reputation as a mediating variable and visibility as a variable that moderates the effect of ICSR disclosure on reputation. Quantitative approach with PLS SEM method is applied to confirm the hypothesis. 10 Indonesian Islamic Banks on 2014-2019 period are take as a sample. The estimation results show that ICSR disclosure has positive effect on reputation and profitability. It also indicates that Islamic bank visibility moderates the correlation between ICSR disclosure and reputation. However, Islamic bank reputation isn’t proven to mediate the correlation between ICSR disclosure and the profitability. The implication of the study result is that ICSR disclosure is important for the Islamic banks because it can affect its reputation and profitability. Although reputation itself is not proven to affect profitability, it can be a strategic resource for a bank. In addition, for high-visibility Islamic banks, disclosure of ICSR is crutial because of its greater impact that is proven to affect the relationship of ICSR disclosure to reputation.Keywords: Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure, Mediating Variable, Moderating Variable, Profitability, Islamic Bank.

<p>Riparian zone forests are a special type of agro-forestry systems. As buffer zones protect stream systems against stress factors. These ecosystems are diverse so ecologically valuable, on the other hand, they are valuable (because of high productivity) from an economic viewpoint as well.</p><p>Riparian forests are very vulnerable because they strongly depend on surplus water (shallow groundwater or seasonally flooded condition). Long drought periods caused by changing climate induce lowering of the water table and shortening flooded periods. With reasonably designed water supply systems, these negative processes can be stopped, and valuable ecosystems can be preserved.</p><p>The effect of an artificial structures (new lakes and bottom thresholds) induced water supply was evaluated in Kaszó Forest (Somogy county, Hungary). Eco-Hydrological monitoring (groundwater and phenological) was conducted on 14 regular (under the effect of water supply interventions) and 4 control plots in different forest ecosystems. The impact of water supply interventions was interpreted with spatio-temporal groundwater level difference analysis and found that surplus water had a positive effect on the riparian zone water table (40-50 cm rise in the neighbourhood of new lakes) and vegetation.</p><p>A complex field monitoring (hydro-meteorological and phenological measurements) was conducted on three representative locations. 1-D Hydrus model was successfully calibrated for an alder and two common oak forest plots. Diurnal signal of groundwater levels was used for ET estimation in the model. Model results showed that groundwater uptake of forest vegetation was significantly increased (30%) regarding water supply interventions.</p><p>Acknowledgements: The research was supported by EFOP-3.6.2-16-2017-00018 in University of Sopron project.</p><p>Keywords: riparian forest, water supply, groundwater monitoring, 1-D Hydrus model</p>

Research Analysis

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of training and compensation on employee performance through employee job satisfaction by using 125 respondents as a basis for research analysis. The results showed that training and compensation had a significant positive effect on employee performance and job satisfaction is known to mediate the relationship of training on employee performance and compensation on employee performance at Belmond hotel partially. The findings in this study provide the implication that to improve employee performance in order to achieve the company's expected targets, the things that need to be considered in terms of job satisfaction with performance is the way employees can see opportunities and rewards, the nature of the job itself, supervision or supervisor, benefits, operational conditions of employees, and coworkers as a positive incentive to work. Improvements in knowledge and skills relevant to the work in each department as well as experienced in the training also need to be considered. Increasing compensation for salaries, benefits and incentives can increase their understanding of satisfaction with work results achieved by an employee.

This study aims to find empirical evidence to support the notion that there is a connection between the budget emphasis and the potential budgetary slack. In this study, there were 65 respondents (out of a potential pool of 872 employees of the regional water supplier for Malang city). Of the 65 questionnaires distributed, 57 were returned fully completed. The data collected was then analyzed using the Product Statistics and Services Solution (SPSS) application program. This study uses a simple linear regression analysis technique to measure the impact of the budget emphasis variable to budgetary slack. The results show that the budget emphasis produced a positive effect on the incidence of budgetary slack, however when the budget emphasis is too tight it can cause aberrant behavior in subordinates owing working pressures to achieve set targets.  Keywords: Budget Emphasis, Budgetary Slack

The Impact

Groundwater is an important resource of provinces in Ca Mau Peninsula. The water is supplied to household, industrial, agricultural and aquacultural activities. More important, in this area, as the majority of surface water is contaminated and requires further treatment to become usable, the main source of water supply is the groundwater. Under the impacts of socialeconomic development, the increase of population and the urbanization rate in the region, groundwater resource is under a pressure of exploitation and utilization. Yearly exploited amount of groundwater is larger than the replenishment amount in most aquifers, so the groundwater level is lowered gradually year by year. According to statistics from 2000 to 2010, the groundwater level has been lowered from 0 to -14m (in some places, the water level is lowered to -28m below sea level) in qp2-3 and qp1 aquifers, with the highest drops in Bac Lieu and Soc Trang provinces. The amount of pumped groundwater in the region has been increasing from 159.914 to 931.944 m3 / day, whereas the replenishment amount has been decreasing from 526.121 to 185.004 m3 / day. Stated otherwise, groundwater in the region is declining in both volume and quality under the impact of climate change and exploitation activities. This paper uses the DPSIR framework to assess causal relationships of factors that impact to the groundwater environment in the region, and thereby propose appropriate solutions under the impacts. In combination with groundwater environmental indicators to quantify the degradation impacts to groundwater resource, the results of this paper indicate that water supply used mainly in Ca Mau Peninsula is groundwater ( 85.74%); the capacity of renewable water per capita in the region is still very low (80.06 l / day / person); the water loss from aquifer systems is much larger than the amount of replenishment (141.02%), however the amount of water extraction for domestic service was still in permissible limits of the aquifers (8.71%). The numbers show that groundwater in Ca Mau Peninsula is in decline but still within safe limits. Results from this paper can give authorities a more intuitive view about the current situation of groundwater when planning and using water resources.

This research investigates the empirical relationship of government efficiency, corruption, and inflation regarding public debt between advanced and emerging economies. Random effects estimation is used to analyse a sample of 40 countries. The analysis results show that corruption and inflation in advanced economies have a significant and positive effect on public debt. Corruption affects public debt to increase, but on the flip side, inflation affects public debt to decrease. In emerging economies, the results show a positive impact of government efficiency on public debt. Hence, government efficiency will be considered an obstacle when a policy initiated to reduce public debt. Meanwhile, policymakers should take note countries’ corruption and inflation rates when formulating policies to reduce public debt in advanced economies.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify levels of self-compassion in adults who do and do not stutter and to determine whether self-compassion predicts the impact of stuttering on quality of life in adults who stutter. Method Participants included 140 adults who do and do not stutter matched for age and gender. All participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale. Adults who stutter also completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering. Data were analyzed for self-compassion differences between and within adults who do and do not stutter and to predict self-compassion on quality of life in adults who stutter. Results Adults who do and do not stutter exhibited no significant differences in total self-compassion, regardless of participant gender. A simple linear regression of the total self-compassion score and total Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering score showed a significant, negative linear relationship of self-compassion predicting the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusions Data suggest that higher levels of self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connectedness (i.e., self-compassion) are related to reduced negative reactions to stuttering, an increased participation in daily communication situations, and an improved overall quality of life. Future research should replicate current findings and identify moderators of the self-compassion–quality of life relationship.
