This research employs the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) paradigm to analyze structure, conduct, and performance of cocoa industry in Indonesia during 2012-2014 period. Concentration ratio four largest companies (CR4) minimum efficiency scale (MES) is used as an indicator market structure industry. The conduct explained by capital-labor (CLR). While seen from price-cost margin (PCM), inter...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate the factors that influence implementation of Survivorship Care Plans (SCPs) in the intervention arm of the ROGY Care trial by (1) assessing the level of SCP receipt in the ROGY Care trial and (2) identifying patient- and provider-level factors that influence SCP receipt. METHODS Between 2011 and 2015, a pragmatic cluster randomized-controlled-tr...

HDL-mediated reverse-cholesterol transport as well as phosphoinositide signaling are mediated through plasma membrane microdomains termed caveolae/lipid rafts. However, relatively little is known regarding mechanism(s) whereby these lipids traffic to or are targeted to caveolae/lipid rafts. Since sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2) binds both cholesterol and phosphatidylinositol, the possibility t...

Systematic conservation planning (SCP) represents a significant step toward cost-effective, transparent allocation of resources for biodiversity conservation. However, research demonstrates important consequences of uncertainties in SCP and of basing methods on simplified circumstances involving few real-world complexities. Current research often relies on single case studies with unknown forms...

Although the sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP-2) gene encodes for two proteins, almost nothing is known of the function and potential processing of the larger transcript corresponding to the 58 kDa sterol carrier protein-2/3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase (SCP-x), in intact cells. L-cell fibroblasts transfected with cDNA encoding for the 58 kDa SCP-x protein had a 4.5-fold increase in SCP-x mRNA transcript ...

On the basis of their abilities to bind bile acids and/or cholesterol, the physiological role(s) of liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) and sterol carrier protein (SCP) 2/SCP-x (SCP-2/SCP-x) gene products in biliary bile acid and cholesterol formation was examined in gene-ablated male mice. L-FABP (LKO) or L-FABP/SCP-2/SCP-x [triple-knockout (TKO)] ablation markedly decreased hepatic bile...

Selection of value chain strategies by development practitioners and value chain participants themselves has been restricted to preset types of upgrading. This paper argues for an extension of the range of strategy solutions to value chains. An empirical application identifies successful strategies for honey value chains in Brazil for 2015-2020. Strategy and performance indicators were selected...

The research on Artificial Intelligence and Operational Research has provided models and techniques to solve many industrial problems. For instance, many real life problems can be formulated as a Set Covering Problem (SCP). The SCP is a classic NP-hard combinatorial problem consisting in find a set of solutions that cover a range of needs at the lowest possible cost following certain constraint...

Automated recognition software is paramount for effective passive acoustic monitoring. BirdNET a free and recently developed bird sound recognizer. I performed literature review to evaluate the current applications performance of BirdNET, which growing in popularity but has been subject few assessments, provide recommendations future studies using BirdNET. Prior research employed wide range pur...
