1 COMPLIANCE WITH DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR INVESTMENT PROPERTIES : A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN SPAIN AND UK

The primary aim of this study is to analyse the extent to which listed companies in Spain and the United Kingdom (UK) comply with the disclosure requirements under International Accounting Standard 40 (IAS 40) for investment properties and to what extent corporate characteristics are associated with compliance with this standard. Our results suggest that disclosure regulation acts as a benchmark more than as a minimum level of information, and companies react to the information’s overload with a relaxation on fulfilment.
Is the version angle of the glenoid different in bone and cartilage? An MRI study

Background/aim To determine whether or not there is a difference between the version of the bone and cartilage surfaces of the glenoid. Axial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) slices were examined in order to evaluate the measurements taken based on both the cartilage and bone joint surfaces. Materials and methods A retrospective evaluation was made of the MRI scans of 182 patients. All of the reviewers independently measured the glenoid version angles of all of the patients from 1–182. The process was then repeated, with each reviewer taking second measurements of the angles from 1–182. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis was applied to evaluate the interaction and relationships between the measurements taken from the bone and cartilage. The intra- and interobserver interclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were assessed. Analysis of variance was applied to determine any interobserver significant differences. Results The mean glenoid version was determined as –3.58 ± 4.08° in the bone-based measurements and –5.81 ± 4.30° in the cartilage-based measurements. The cartilage- and bone-based measurements were found to have inter- and intraobserver reliability. A statistically significant difference was observed between the mean cartilage-based version and the mean bone-based version. Changes in the cartilage- and bone-based measurements were correlated; however, this change was not linear. Conclusion The cartilage-based version showed a significant difference from the bone- based version. Therefore, in the preoperative planning and evaluation of glenoid-based pathologies, it would be more appropriate to evaluate both the bone and cartilage surface on MRI.
The Influence of Corporate Governance on Earnings Management Practices : A Study of Some Selected Quoted Companies in Nigeria

Accountants and financial economists have for long identified that corporate governance affects both financial performance and the opportunistic behavior of managers. This study seeks to explore the influence of corporate governance and earnings management practices in Nigerian quoted companies. This is premised on the increasing failure of corporate organizations which translate into the inability of organizations to meet the expectations of their various stakeholders. Jones Model is explored to investigate the influence of corporate governance on earnings management. Primary and secondary data were used on a sampled of quoted Nigerian companies’ selected through purposive sampling technique between a period of 2011-2014. Collected data were analyzed using tables, simple regression techniques done with the aid of SPSS. The research findings show that corporate governance practices such as the board size, firm size, board independence, and strength of the audit committee have significant influence on earnings management practices among Nigerian quoted companies. Consequent upon this study, it was recommended that there should be improvement in corporate governance codes governing corporations.

Box 1731, Shiraz 71345, Iran *ghaisari@shirazu.ac. ir Article history: Received 4 April 2017 Accepted 15 August 2018 ABSTRACT The objective of this experiment was to study contagious mastitis pathogen effects on Iranian white cheese properties. Iranian white brine cheeses (2 trials) were made by healthy and containing pathogen bulk tank milk. All types of cheese were ripened at 13 °C for 2 weeks and at 6 °C to the end of ripening period. Cheeses were analyzed for the composition, color, lipolysis and proteolysis. The cheese of each trial was sampled at 1 and 60 days during ripening. No significant differences were observed between the fat, protein, ash and moisture contents of manufactured cheeses. Color parameters, lipolysis and proteolysis indices were not significantly different in two cheese groups. Therefore, incidence of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Corynebacteria spp and Mycoplasma spp in bulk milk tank does not change the physicochemical properties of Iranian white cheese. Despite the potential of these pathogens to cause health problems for consumers, they do not alter the characteristics of the cheese.
Conception and Realization of Speech Recordings for Instantaneous Stress Level Assessment

Speech monitoring is a promising method for nonintrusive stress level assessment, as it fulfills the criteria of both limited intrusiveness and global sensitivity. In Air Traffic Control (ATC), human factors are the limiting factor regarding performance; thus constantly being exposed to high demands and mental stress. For the evaluation of a stress monitoring system, speech data is needed which (a) is ATC-specific, and (b) provides reliable additional indicators of the speaker’s actual stress level as a reference. Unfortunately, none such databases are available at present. In this paper, we report on the creation of a speech database for pilots that meets the above-mentioned requirements. This includes the selection of a realistic recording environment and the creation of an appropriate training program including psycho-physiological aspects. In addition to the speech recordings, the test subject’s heart rate is recorded, from which additional parameters are derived and taken as a reference for the instantaneous stress level. The aim is to find correlations between these parameters and potential speech features.
ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL : THE MERIT OF ABSORBED DOSES TO THE 131 BLOOD IN I THERAPY FOR DIFFERENTIATED THYROID CARCINOMA

The amount of I necessary for successful ablation in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is still sub­ ject to debate. This study investigates the relationship of the absorbed dose of radiation to the blood while administering I activity with several other parameters in DTC patients. This prospective study included 90 DTC patients who were classified into three groups according to their level of dosage: 3.7 GBq (38.9%), 5.55 GBq (55.6%), and 7.4 GBq (5.5%). Blood dosimetry of treated patients was performed using ex­ ternal whole-body counting with a Geiger Muller dosimeter located 2 m away from the patients. Dose rate was measured at 2, 4, 5, 24, and 48 h after the administration of radioiodine. Based on the results of whole-body dose rate measurements, 48 h after administration of 3.7, 5.55, and 7.4 GBq of radioiodine, absorbed doses to patients’ blood were estimated at 0.49 ± 0.12, 0.71 ± 0.21, and 0.76 ± 0.11 Gy, respectively. Increasing radioiodine dosage from 3.7 GBq to 5.55 GBq significantly increased blood dose, while there was no significant difference in blood dose between radioiodine dosages of 5.55 GBq and 7.4 GBq. The ab­ sorbed dose to the blood was significantly correlated to the pa­ tients’ gender and the presence of lymph node metastases, but it was not significantly correlated to the type of pathology and regional or distant metastases. Ablation activities exceeding 5.55 GBq produce no further increase in the accumulated activ­ ity per volume of blood. The literature regarding this issue is scarce, and further studies are required to verify these prelimi­ nary results. Health Phys. 108(1):000–000; 2015

Frequency of Subtypes of Ischemic Stroke Using Bamford or Oxford Shire Community Stroke Project ( OCSP ) Classification in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Introduction: Stroke is a most common and leading cause of disability in the world and affected patients are completely or partially dependent on others for their daily life activities. Ischemic stroke has various subtypes and classifications and we used Bamford or Oxford Shire Community Stroke Project classification system in our stroke patients to categorize them in subtypes of ischemic stroke. Objective: To observe and evaluate the frequency of various subtypes of ischemic stroke in patients admitted to our neurology setup according to their vascular territories. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross sectional observational study on 160 ischemic stroke patients in the department of neurology, Shaikh Zayed Postgraduate Medical Complex from July 2014 to June 2015, and used a Bamford or Oxford Shire classification for subtypes of ischemic stroke in our acute stroke patients during their stay in hospital. Brain imaging such as computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with or without diffusion-weighted sequences (DWI) of all patients were done and used as a major tool for classification of subtypes of ischemic stroke in our patients. Patients were evaluated and examined from the day of admission till their stay in hospital. Sample size: Total sample size estimated with 95% level of significance & margin of error 5 with 95% power test is 160 with 90 male and 70 female patients. Data was entered in computer software SPSS version 20.4. Results: Total 160 ischemic stroke patients with 90 male and 70 female patients participated in this study. Our study data shows Total Anterior Circulation Infarcts (TACI) in 23 (14.375%), Partial Anterior Circulation Infarcts (PACI) 89 (55.625%), Lacunar Infarcts (LACI) 32 (20.00%) and Posterior Circulation Infarcts (POCI) in 16 (10.00%) patients. According to sex distribution we have noted 10% male and 6.66% female patients with TACI, 26.25% male and 29.375% female with PACI, 10.625% male and 9.375% female with LACI. Total 4.375% male and 5.625% female patients were documented with POCI. Conclusion: The OCSP classification is an easy and simple classification system for subtypes of stroke to recognize the early stroke. The frequency of PACI and LACI are more common followed by TACI and POCI.
The Effects of Warm Plasma and HF Electrical Field on Beam-Plasma Interaction in Plasma Waveguide

 Abstract — We investigated in this paper the stabilizing effects of warm plasma and a strong HF electrical field on a two-stream (Buneman) instability in a plane and cylindrical plasma waveguide. Starting from the two-fluid plasma model to separate the problem into two parts, temporal and space. Plasma electrons are considered to have a thermal velocity. It is shown that independent of the geometry of the problem the conclusion on the HF stabilization of Buneman instability in a plasma waveguide remains valid and the growth rate of the instability in warm plasma has been reduced compared to that of cold plasma. The influence of HF electric field on the instability of a low-density electron beam passing through warm plasma waveguide is also reported. in the problem of parametric interaction of HF field with electrostatic surface waves in an isotropic bounded warm plasma. The method it possible to separate the problem into two parts. The ―dynamical‖ (temporal) part enables the frequencies and growth rates of unstable oscillations to be found and corresponding equations within
X-Ray measurements of the interaction of the Astra-Gemini pulse with large atomic clusters

The generation of ultra-relativistic and high-quality positron beams in the laboratory is a field of research of paramount importance due to its direct relevance to a wide range of physical subjects, which include nuclear and particle physics, laboratory astrophysics, and plasma physics. Due to the obvious difficulties encountered in generating stable antimatter, and in further accelerating it to ultra-relativistic energies, this field of research has thus far been prerogative of large-scale conventional accelerators, such as the recently dismissed Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP) [1], or the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) [2]. However, the large size (~ km) and cost of these machines is motivating the quest for alternative acceleration schemes; in this context, plasma devices are appealing candidates due to the extremely high accelerating fields that they are able to support (of the order of hundreds of GV/m, compared to the typical MV/m obtainable in conventional accelerators). Laser-plasma accelerators have already demonstrated the generation of electron beams with energy per particle reaching [3], if not exceeding [4], 1 GeV and energies per particles approaching 100 GeV are theoretically predicted [5] for the next class of high-power laser systems (such as the 10 PW Vulcan upgrade [6]).
False Discovery Rates in Biological Networks

The increasing availability of data has generated unprecedented prospects for network analyses in many biological fields, such as neuroscience (e.g., brain networks), genomics (e.g., gene-gene interaction networks), and ecology (e.g., species interaction networks). A powerful statistical framework for estimating such networks is Gaussian graphical models, but standard estimators for the corresponding graphs are prone to large numbers of false discoveries. In this paper, we introduce a novel graph estimator based on knockoffs that imitate the partial correlation structures of unconnected nodes. We show that this new estimator guarantees accurate control of the false discovery rate in theory, simulations, and biological applications, and we provide easy-to-use R code.
238 Characteristics and Clinical Management of Female Patients with Fissure in Ano in Al-Kadhimiya City , Baghdad

Background Fissure in ano is a common painful anal problem in female patients. Objective To study the sociodemographic variables of female patients with fissure in ano, and to identified the characteristic of anal fissure and their treatment among those patient in Al-Imamian Al-Kadhimiyian Medical City and two private hospitals. Methods This is a prospective study that was carried out from May 2008 to May 2011. Two hundred fifty female patients with fissure in ano were interviewed regarding their age, marital state, address, level of education, clinical presentation and the subsequent management. Result The commonest age of presentation in females was between 21-30 years. 78% of them were living at the peripheral areas of north of Baghdad, and 79.6% were of low level of education (primary school or below). The prevalence was found more in women with high parity especially when their child delivery was supervised by a midwife in their location. All patient has presented with anal pain, 55% were associated with bleeding per rectum and 64.2% with constipation. The location of fissures was 51.6% anterior, 48% posterior, 0.4% lateral in position. Less than half of patients underwent a surgical treatment. 77% of them were treated by lord dilatation under anesthesia and 23% by lateral sphinecteromty. Conclusion Factors which had an impact on the clinical course and management of fissure in ano in female patients were found to be the social status, the level of education and the parity, therefore to prevent this illness, a cooperation between the heath services and the family health center and the government is necessary in order to overcome such a common problem.
THE RELEASE OF REHABILITATED NATIVE MARSUPIALS AND OCCUPANCY OF ARTIFICAL HOMES ON THE SUNSHINE COAST

Australian native fauna within the South East region of Queensland is constantly under pressure from vegetation removal and human infrastructure expansion. With this expansion comes an increased demand on wildlife rescue services to cope with native fauna that are displaced, injured or orphaned. In a study on eastern pygmy possums Bladon [1] found that land clearing reduced a stable population occupying an area from 83% usage rate to 5%. This increasing demand poses the question of where to relocate animals either displaced or raised in captivity. To release rehabilitated fauna kept in some situations for months in captivity at their place of origin is not always an option. Lack of information on specific origins, extensive vegetation clearing and predation by domestic animals can limit desired outcomes.
Static and cyclic rocking on sand : centrifuge versus reduced-scale 1 g experiments

Shallow foundations supporting bridge piers, building frames, shear walls and monuments are often subjected to extreme lateral loading such as wind in offshore environments, or strong seismic shaking. Under such loading conditions, foundations may experience a host of non-linear phenomena: sliding on and uplifting from the supporting soil or even soil failure in the form of development of ultimate bearing capacity mechanisms. This type of response is accompanied by residual settlement and rotation of the supported structural system. Nevertheless, inelastic foundation performance can provide potential benefits to the overall seismic integrity of the structure. Thanks to such non-linearities, energy dissipation at or below the foundation level may eventually limit the seismic demand on structural elements. Several theoretical and experimental studies have provided encouraging evidence to this effect. This paper has a dual objective: first, to study the behaviour of shallow foundations under vertical and lateral monotonic loading and under lateral slow cyclic loading of progressively increasing amplitude; second, to explore the differences in foundation response between reduced-scale 1g and centrifuge 50g model testing. Emphasis is placed on interpreting their discrepancies by unveiling the role of scale effects. The role of soil densification due to multiple loading cycles with uplifting is also highlighted.
Effect of Two Type of Organic Fertilizers on Productivity And Quality of Spring Potato Tubers (Solanumtuberosum) In Syria

This research work was carried out at the Center for Agricultural Scientific Research, in Tartous, in spring season 2018, by studying the effect of organic fertilization of mixing and adding two levels of dry biogas manure (B), (40 and 120 m/h) with two levels of tobacco compost (T), (20 and 40 m/h), as well as the control treatment without fertilization, on growth and productivity of potato crop (cult. Spunta). The Completely Randomized Design was adopted in this work, with three replicates for each treatment and 27 plants per replicate. The results showed a positive effect of adding the mixture of biogas manure and tobacco compost on improving the productivity and tubers quality of the potato crop. Where The mixed treatment of both biogasmanure and tobacco compost(40 m+40 m/h,gave the highest values for tubers production per plant (640 g/plant), and the unit area production (3.657 kg /m ) and tubers quality of market production, (3.326 kg/m). Also, gave the highest percentage of dry matter and starch contents in tubers (23.09%, 16.59%) respectively, and the lowest content of nitrate 137 mg / kg in potato tubers.
Electronic Whiteboards in Emergency Medicine : A Systematic Review

As more and more Emergency Departments replace the manual dry-erase whiteboards used for coordination of patient care and communication among clinicians with IT-based electronic whiteboards a need to clarify the effects of implementing these systems arises. This paper seeks to answer this question by systematically reviewing studies on electronic whiteboards. The results of the review indicate that electronic whiteboards influence the work at Emergency Departments in various different ways e.g. changes to work practice and changes to whiteboard information accuracy. Also, the review finds that there are mediating factors that have an impact upon these effects e.g. display format and integration with other clinical IT systems. However, the results are somewhat inconclusive and of a mixed nature and therefore this paper calls for more focused and specific research.
The Assessment of the Performance of Public Basic Schools and Private Basic Schools , Ghana

The findings of the study gave evidence that there were disparities in the academic performance of pupils in public and private basic schools in the Berekum Municipality. From the study it was established that both internal and external factors in the classroom and outside the classroom were responsible for the disparities of academic performance in schools. These factors included the fact that public schools did not have the needed teaching and learning resources in order to operate fully in the teaching and learning process.

Macroeconomic Determinants of Growth : Further Evidence on the Role of Political Freedom

Researchers have long suspected that societies with high levels of political freedom exhibit higher levels of economic growth than those in which such freedoms are abridged. The present study reexamines Kormendi and Meguire’s (K-M) data and provides additional evidence to support the hypothesis that there is a significant positive relationship between political freedom and the macroeconomic performance of nations. In doing so, the present study uses a much more comprehensive measure of political freedom than the one employed by K-M. In addition, the present study implements the Goldfeld-Quandt test to check for heteroscedasticity. The results confirm the positive relationship between political freedom and economic growth.
