The contribution of symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), health anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty to distress in Ménière's disease
No full textThis study assessed whether symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), health anxiety, and intolerance of uncertainty were associated with distress in members of the Ménière's Society (n = 800), and compared the extent of anxiety, depression, intolerance of uncertainty and health anxiety with a healthy control group (n = 484). PTSD symptoms were associated with anxiety, depression, and handicap. Health anxiety was associated with anxiety and depression. Intolerance of uncertainty was directly associated with anxiety; its association with depression and handicap was mediated by PTSD symptoms. The Ménière's group reported more anxiety, depression, and health anxiety than the control group, but were not more intolerant of uncertainty. More than half of the Ménière's group reported experiencing partial or full PTSD symptoms. As PTSD, health anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty are modifiable with psychological treatment, we advise that clinicians should screen patients with Ménière's disease who are particularly distressed

Victimised Actors and Despotic Directors: Clichés of Theatre at Stake in Beckett's 'Catastophe'
No full textThe essay focuses on 'Catastrophe', one of the last plays Beckett wrote, which the author sees as almost the culmination of his idea of the theatre. This 1982 play is the epitome of the demanding performance Beckett's theatre requires from the actors and of the great freedom and power paradoxically it gives them. By undermining, with a great sense of irony, himself and his working method, but even more radically the directorial function itself, in this play, Beckett, the celebrated 'tyrant-director' reveals the sole concrete reality of the production: that it is the realm of the actor
A comparative case study of coordination mechanisms in Design and Build BIM-based projects in the Netherlands
No full textBIM implementation can affect the project coordination mechanisms in unexpected ways, even in widely-applied project procurement structures. Apart from the chosen procurement approach, the BIM technology and the distribution of roles in the project team influence and shape the project coordination. This paper aims to explore the emerging coordination structures and processes from BIM implementation in design-build procurement. An exploratory comparative case study has been undertaken. The findings included two main coordination mechanisms: a centralized and decentralized structure and a hierarchical ver-sus participative decision-making processes. These two patterns subsequently open a debate about the rela-tions between BIM implementation and business models in AEC and particularly the emergence of specialized all-around BIM firms versus BIM-knowledgeable engineering firms.Accepted Author ManuscriptDesign & Construction Managemen

Full text link ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian – Untuk menganalisa dan mengevaluasi praktik income smoothing yang terjadi pada perusahaan LQ45 di BEI serta mengetahui faktor-faktor apa saja yang berpengaruh terhadap praktik income smoothing pada perusahaan LQ45 di BEI periode tahun 2014-2019. Desain/Metodologi/Pendekatan – Populasi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah 45 perusahaan yang terdaftar dalam indeks LQ45 di BEI yang kemudian dipilih sebanyak 23 sampel perusahaan yang diseleksi dengan metode purposive sampling. Indeks Eckel digunakan untuk mendeteksi praktik income smoothing. Teknik analisis yang digunakan yaitu regresi logistik. Jenis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data kuantitatif yang bersumber dari data sekunder. Temuan – Hasil penelitian menunjukkan dari keempat faktor yang diuji hanya firm size dan profitabilitas yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap praktik income smoothing sedangkan industry sector dan financial leverage tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap praktik income smoothing pada perusahaan LQ45 yang terdaftar di BEI. Keterbatasan penelitian – Penelitian ini hanya berfokus pada empat faktor yang diuji yaitu firm size, profitabilitas, industry sector dan financial leverage. Sedangkan masih banyak faktor lain di luar model penelitian ini yang dapat mempengaruhi praktik income smoothing misalnya harga saham, nilai perusahaan, dividend payout ratio, earning per share, managerial ownership, kualitas audit dan lain sebagainya yang dapat diteliti lebih lanjut. Originality/value – Penelitian ini dapat memberikan informasi kepada pihak eksternal khususnya investor untuk tidak hanya berfokus pada laba yang dihasilkan oleh perusahaan, melainkan juga harus memperhatikan proses dalam menghasilkan laba itu sendiri. Sebab pada kenyataannya laba dapat dimuluskan sedemikian rupa melalui praktik income smoothing sehingga laba yang dihasilkan oleh perusahaan tampak stabil setiap periodenya. Keywords : Firm Size, Profitabilitas, Financial Leverage, Industry Sector, Income Smoothing.
