Strengthening Corporate Cash Holdings and Investment Efficiency in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Some Empirical Evidence from Indonesia Emerging Markets
No full textThis study explores the connection between the amount of cash a company holds and its effectiveness in making investments, as well as the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The researchers analyzed a dataset consisting of 2721 observations from Indonesian publicly listed firms between 2013 and 2020, excluding the financial industry (SIC 6). They utilized multiple linear regression analysis to investigate how cash holding influences investment efficiency and how the COVID-19 pandemic affects this relationship. The research approach employed was quantitative. The results indicate that a higher cash holding has a negative impact on investment efficiency. The uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 outbreak has significantly affected corporate cash flows, impeding business activities. Additionally, robustness tests were conducted to address concerns regarding potential bias, and the results consistently aligned with the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation. These findings are significant for investors, potential investors, and management, providing insights into the interplay among cash holding, investment efficiency, and the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Spirituality Ethics on Accountant: An Islamic Moralities Perspective
Full text linkAbstract
The metaphor "Accountant of the Future" has been used to describe the leadership and professionalism expected of external auditors. It encompasses ethical values, leadership qualities, and moral spirituality that are crucial to the auditor\u27s role. However, as professionalism in auditing has evolved, the focus on ethics has shifted, leading to dysfunctional behavior that undermines the auditor\u27s trustworthiness and the integrity of the profession. To address this issue, this article proposes a reconstruction of the external auditor\u27s code of conduct based on the neo-Aristotelian approach of Al-Farabi. By incorporating Al-Farabi\u27s philosophical principles, the foundation of the auditor\u27s existing code of ethics can be strengthened, and the profession can be revitalized. This study utilizes secondary sources such as Google Scholar, books, research articles, and scientific journals to explore Al-Farabi\u27s thinking and apply it to the conceptual code of ethics for auditors. By doing so, this article aims to contribute to the existing literature on the external auditor\u27s code of ethics and provide auditors with a framework for carrying out their professional duties and responsibilities.

Abstrak
Metafora "Akuntan Masa Depan" dalam kepemimpinan dan profesionalisme auditor eksternal dipandang sebagai ekspresi yang menyiratkan nilai-nilai etika, jiwa kepemimpinan, dan spiritualitas moral yang ada di dalam auditor eksternal. Namun, perkembangan profesionalisme dalam pekerjaan auditor telah menggeser esensi etika, menyebabkan perilaku kode etik yang disfungsional yang dapat menyebabkan auditor menjadi tidak dapat dipercaya dalam memenuhi tanggung jawab profesinya. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini disusun untuk merekonstruksi kode etik auditor eksternal berdasarkan pemikiran Al-Farabi (pendekatan neo-Aristoteles), sehingga memperkuat dasar kode etik auditor yang ada. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam studi literatur ini didasarkan pada data sekunder dan sumber yang diperoleh melalui google scholars, buku, penelitian sebelumnya, dan artikel ilmiah yang berkaitan dengan pemikiran Al-Farabi yang kemudian disusun berdasarkan kode etik konseptual auditor. Artikel ini diharapkan dapat menambah literatur review kode etik auditor eksternal dan menjadi pertimbangan utama auditor dalam melaksanakan tugas dan tanggung jawab profesionalnya.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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 linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
