    ABSTRAK Kegiatan akuisisi dianggap akan menciptakan sinergi yang cukup derastis yakni kinerja keuangan perusahaan akan lebih meningkat setelah melakukan akuisisi dibandingakan dengan sebelum perusahaan melakukan akuisisi. Selain anggapan tersebut “kegiatan akuisisi juga mampu memberikan beberapa keuntungan bagi perusahaan seperti peningkatan kemampuan dalam pemasaran, riset skill manajerial, transfer tekhnologi dan efesiensi berupa penurunan biaya produksi”. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat perbedaan secara signifikan pada return on equity, debt to asset ratio, fixed asset turnover serta quick ratio baik sebelum dan sesudah akuisisi. Jenis penelitian yang penulis lakukan adalah penelitian deskriptif. Adapun penelitian ini bersifat komparatif. Sumber data menggunakan data sekunder. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan dokumentasi. Populasi pada penelitianini adalh semua perusaahan yang akuasisi dan terdaftar di Jakarta Islamic Index. Dalam pengambilan sampel peneliti menggunakan metode Quota Samplling. Analisis data menggunakan uji parametrik Paired Sample T Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan pada profitabilitas perusahaan yang diukur menggunakan indikator return on equity, debt to asset ratio, fixed asset turnover serta quick ratio. Oleh karena itu, hipotesis yang menyatakan terdapat perbedaan pada profitabilitas perusahaan antara sebelum dan sesudah melakukan akuisisi diterima. Hal ini disebabkan oleh jika modal perusahaan bertambah kemudian ditambah dengan sinergi yang didapatkan melalui penggabungan usaha, maka akan menyebabkan laba perusahaan meningkat sehingga profitabilitas perusahaan mengalami perbedaan. Akuisisi di dalam Islam disebut juga dengan syirkah. Syirkah atau kerjasama adalah suatu bentuk tolong-menolong yang dianjurkan dalam agama Islam selama kerjasama tersebut tidak bertentangan dengan syariat islam sehingga tidak menimbulkan dosa dan permusuhan.

ABSTRACT Acquisition activities are considered to create quite drastic synergies, namely that the company's financial performance will improve more after making the acquisition compared to before the company made the acquisition. Apart from this assumption, "acquisition activities are also able to provide several benefits for companies such as increasing capabilities in marketing, managerial skills research, technology transfer and efficiency in the form of reducing production costs". The aim of this research is to find out whether there are significant differences in return on equity, debt to asset ratio, fixed asset turnover as well as quick ratio both before and after the acquisition. The type of research the author conducted was descriptive research. This research is comparative in nature, namely research that is comparative in nature. The data source uses secondary data. Data collection techniques use documentation. The populations in this study are all companies that were acquired and registered with Jakarta Islamic Index. In taking samples, researchers used the method Quota Sampling. Data analysis uses parametric testsPaired Sample T Test. The research results show that there are differences in company profitability as measured using the return on equity, debt to asset ratio, fixed asset turnover and quick ratio indicator. Therefore, the hypothesis which states that there is a difference in company profitability between before and after the acquisition is accepted. This is because if the company's capital increases and then the synergies obtained through business mergers are added, it will cause the company's profits to increase so that the company's profitability experiences a difference. Acquisition in Islam is also calledShirkah. Shirkahor cooperation is a form of helping each other that is recommended in the Islamic religion as long as the cooperation does not conflict with the Islamic Shari'a so as not to cause sin and enmity.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
